A colheita mecanizada de soja é fundamental no processo produtivo desta cultura e, caso não seja realizada adequadamente, poderá resultar em danos mecânicos severos aos grãos, acarretando prejuízos significativos na colheita. Essa preocupação com a colheita também deve ser levada em consideração em campos experimentais, quando são utilizadas colhedoras de parcelas. Objetivou-se neste trabalho avaliar as perdas ocorridas na colheita mecanizada com uma colhedora de parcelas com diferentes velocidades de deslocamento. Avaliaram-se as perdas na plataforma, na trilha, totais. Além disso, foi avaliada a impureza, o número de vagens e a umidade dos grãos, com as velocidades de deslocamento de: 2, 4, 6 e 8 km h-1. O aumento da velocidade de deslocamento proporcionou menores perdas na colheita mecanizada. O número de vagens, as impurezas e a umidade também foram influenciados pelo aumento da velocidade de deslocamento.

Authors: DAŞ Elif
Published: August 2021

Grafen, benzersiz özelliklerinden dolayı yeni geliştirilen fotoelekrik aygıtlar için olağanüstü bir malzeme olarak düşünülmektedir. Fakat, grafen tabanlı fotoelektrik cihazların performansı, grafen ve ışık arasındaki etkileşim uzunluğunun atomik kalınlığı nedeniyle sınırlıdır. Bu nedenle, sunulan bu çalışmada, metal-arayüzey-yarıiletken tipi Schottky heteroeklem üretimi için ışık absorpsiyonunu arttırmak adına grafen yerine grafen oksit (GO) ve indirgenmiş grafen oksit (rGO) gibi grafen türevleri kullanıldı. İlk olarak, modifiye Hummer yöntemi ile GO sentezi yapıldı, daha sonra indirgeyici ajan L-askorbik asit (LAA) kullanılarak kimyasal indirgeme yöntemi ile rGO sentezi gerçekleştirildi. Ardından, spin kaplama yöntemi kullanılarak GO/n-Si ve rGO/n-Si heteroeklem aygıtlarının fabrikasyonu yapıldı. Fabrikasyonu gerçekleştirilen aygıtların idealite faktörü (n), bariyer yüksekliği (Φb), doyma akımı (Io), difüzyon potansiyeli (Vd), taşıyıcı konsantrasyonu (Nd), Fermi enerji (Ef) gibi karateristik aygıt parametreleri, akım-voltaj (I-V) ve kapasitans-voltaj (C-V) ölçümleri kullanılarak tayin edildi. Ayrıca, oda sıcaklığında ışık aydınlatması altında rGO/n-Si heteroeklem aygıtının I-V ölçümleri gerçekleştirildi. Elde edilen sonuçlar sentezlenen rGO malzemesinin fotodiyotlar ve fotodedektörler gibi optoelektronik uygulamalarda kullanılabileceğini gösterdi.
Pengaruh Penggantian Agregat Halus dengan Serbuk Ban Bekas pada Campuran Beton Terhadap Daya Redam Getaran
Authors: Mufid Kusuma Muhammad Farhan , Faizah Restu , Nugroho Guntur
Published: August 2021

Limbah ban bekas merupakan salah satu limbah yang sulit untuk diatasi, karena karet ban sulit untuk di urai bahkan didaur ulang. Limbah ini, akan semakin meningkat seriring dengan bertambahnya produksi kendaraan di masyarakat. Salah satu upaya untuk mengolah limbah ban bekas adalah merubah ban bekas menjadi serbuk yang dapat dimanfaatkan untuk peredam gesekan di lapangan, merubah ban bekas menjadi minyak, bahkan merubahnya menjadi furniture. Inovasi dalam bidang teknik sipil ialah dengan mengganti agregat halus dengan ban bekas. Penggantian ini diharapkan dapat menciptakan beton ramah lingkungan. Metode yang digunakan adalah membuat benda uji berbentuk silinder dan balok, serta melakukan varian serbuk ban bekas dengan presentase 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%. Benda uji silinder digunakan untuk mengetahui kuat tekan yang dimiliki tiap varian presentase serbuk ban bekas, sedangkan benda uji balok digunakan untuk mengetahui daya redam pada masing-masing varian campuran. Pengujian kuat tekan beton dilakukan menggunakan mesin compression tester machine , dan pengujian daya redam beton menggunakan akselerometer getaran. Hasil dari pengujian dapat diketahui bahwa, semakin banyak presentase serbuk ban bekas yang digunakan, semakin menurun kuat tekan yang dimiliki beton. Sedangkan, untuk daya redam yang dimiliki, semakin banyak presentase campuran serbuk ban bekas maka semakin besar pula daya redam yang dimiliki. Hasil tersebut dapat menjadi sebuah tolak ukur untuk pengembangan beton ramah lingkungan, dan dapat menahan getaran lebih baik.

A propósito de un sermón manuscrito sobre la jura de Agustín I en Zacatecas
Authors: Escrig Rosa Josep
Published: August 2021

En este trabajo se analiza un sermón manuscrito de autoría anónima, hasta ahora prácticamente inédito, predicado en Zacatecas el 30 de mayo de 1822, con motivo de la jura de fidelidad a Agustín de Iturbide como emperador electo por parte del Congreso constituyente. El examen propuesto pretende complejizar, desde la perspectiva contrarrevolucionaria y antiliberal, el estudio de los imaginarios monárquicos durante el periodo del primer imperio, así como las distintas representaciones mentales y argumentos teóricos con los que ciertos eclesiásticos sustentaron dicha experiencia de gobierno. El discurso de la lealtad al emperador fue acompañado de una exaltación de Iturbide como caudillo religioso. El predicador aprovechó el momento para exponer su modelo ideal de monarquía y reivindicar un trato privilegiado para el clero, lo cual permite atender a las variables de la alianza Altar-Trono. Supone, por tanto, una aproximación que abre perspectivas de análisis más plurales sobre el contexto de la emancipación mexicana.

Published: August 2021

Objetiva-se com este estudo demonstrar as relações existentes entre o nexus clima-água-energia na usina Sobradinho, através da análise de fenômeno climático decadal bem como em simulações que auxiliam na Gestão dos Recursos Hídricos e no cálculo da Energia Hidrelétrica gerada. A metodologia consiste na análise das séries temporais de precipitação (1961-2016) e vazão (1931-2016), e a obtenção dos Espectros de Ondeletas Globais (Wavelets) das séries de anomalias de vazão e do índice climático Oscilação Multidecadal do Atlântico - OMA (1860-2016), almejando encontrar correlações entre ciclo hidrológico e variabilidades climáticas. Em seguida, foram obtidas as curvas de permanência da vazão natural em Sobradinho e a garantia no abastecimento em 90% do tempo (Q90), com base nas fases negativa (1965-1995) e positiva (1996-2016) da OMA. Também foram feitas simulações no software Sistema de Informação para Gerenciamento da Alocação de Água - SIGA, o qual possibilitou operar o sistema da Bacia do Rio São Francisco - BRSF onde Sobradinho está inserida, a fim de gerar dados simulados de vazão defluente e volume do reservatório (1965-2016) para o cálculo da Energia Natural Afluente - ENA. Os resultados demonstraram que há indícios de interferência do fenômeno climático OMA no ciclo hidrológico, com períodos decadais que oscilam, beneficiando (fase negativa da OMA) ou prejudicando (fase positiva da OMA) a Gestão Hídrica e a Geração Hidrelétrica em Sobradinho. No entanto, o período úmido da OMA se mostrou mais favorável à usina, pois a curva de permanência, a garantia Q90 assim como a Geração Hidrelétrica gerada nesse período se mostraram superiores.
A tale of the monoclonal anti-CD20 antibodies, in tribute to prof. Wacław Szybalski (1921–2020)
Authors: Stasiłojć Grzegorz , Okrój Marcin , Bigda Jacek
Published: August 2021

Technical advances that lead to the era of targeted therapeutics demanded several milestones that were reached in the second half of the previous century. Professor Wacław Szybalski was the first one to perform a stable gene transfer in eukaryotic cells. To do so, he used his own designed system consisting of HPRT-deficient cells and HAT selective medium. Moreover, the first-ever hybridoma cells were also constructed by Wacław Szybalski’s team. These spectacular achievements made him not only a forerunner of gene therapy, but also became a foundation for immunotherapy, as hybridoma and their selection by the HPRT-HAT system turned into a crucial technical step during production of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Herein, we present a story of anti-CD20 mAbs, one of the most successful lines of anticancer drugs. When looking back into history, the prototypic mAb rituximab was considered the biggest step forward in the therapy of B-cell malignancies. Nowadays, the second and third generations of anti-CD20 mAbs are approved in clinical use and numerous breakthrough studies on immune effector mechanisms were conducted with the aforementioned immunotherapeutics as a model.
La democracia ambiental y el Acuerdo de Escazú en Colombia a partir de la Constitución Ecológica de 1991
Authors: Muñoz Ávila Lina , Lozano Amaya María Alejandra
Published: August 2021

Este artículo tiene como objetivo argumentar que, si bien Colombia cuenta con un marco jurídico avanzado respecto de los derechos de acceso a la información, a la participación y a la justicia en asuntos ambientales, así como sobre las personas defensoras del ambiente, basado en la Constitución Política, su implementación efectiva presenta grandes desafíos que podrían ser superados a través de la ratificación del Acuerdo de Escazú en esta materia. Este instrumento regional puede servir como una herramienta para mejorar los estándares ya alcanzados para la protección del ambiente en el país. Con base en la investigación realizada, se concluye que el tratado es completamente compatible con la Carta Política y es un potencializador del mandato constitucional. Su ratificación significaría un paso hacia el fortalecimiento de varios ejes estructurales de la Constitución de 1991 y demostraría coherencia entre los mismos. La implementación jurídica del Acuerdo de Escazú es una oportunidad única para reafirmar los compromisos contenidos en la Constitución Ecológica, treinta años después de su promulgación.

Authors: Antoine Niyungeko
Published: August 2021

ABSTRACTBhagwati developed a hypothesis that expected economic growth (EG) enhancing impact of exports (EXP) and foreign direct investment (FDI) interaction. This paper checks the validity of the Bhagwati hypothesis by examining the moderation and mediation effect of EXP in the relationship between FDI and Gross domestic product for Sub Sahara Africa countries (SSA) during 2018 period. To achieve the article purpose, normality test, robust regression, and causal analysis using bootstrapping procedure were performed using R programming environment. The correlation results revealed a strong correlation between FDI-EXP-GDP.  The coefficient of the robust regression of the interaction term of EXP and FDI was found positive, and statistically significant. The result of the mediation analysis showed that indirect relationship of FDI was found positive and significant whereas direct relationship was not significant.  The results are consistent with the previous studies, theory, and Bhagwati hypothesis. Theorical and practical implications were presented.
Editorial Note: Fast Peer Review: A Practice of Predatory Journals or Fair Treatment for Authors?
Authors: Shopovski Jovan , McGee Robert W. , Hier Daniel B.
Published: August 2021

Despite its weaknesses, peer review is our best gatekeeper of rigorous science. With the advent of on-line and open-access publishing, a vigorous debate has ensued over the timeliness of peer review. Many of us remember, and some still face, long peer review and publishing timeframes. Ware and Mabe (2015) estimated that a reviewer needs from several hours to a day to carefully prepare a peer review. Even so, the time from submission to first decision varies from 8 weeks to 18 weeks and varies by academic discipline and journal. Although the slowness of the peer review process has been critiqued (Lotriet, 2012), long ingrained processes have been slow to change. The development of the open access publishing has brought to the forefront the need to speed the peer review process and reduce the time to publication. However, short peer review times have been cited as one of the hallmarks of predatory journals (Cobey at al. 2018). Some have suggested that a faster and more agile peer review process may undermine the quality of published research (Bagdasarian et al. 2020).
Efficiency and Productivity Evaluation of the Moroccan Judicial System
Authors: Achenchabe Yassine , Akaaboune Mohammed
Published: August 2021

This paper focuses on measuring the efficiency and productivity change in 110 Moroccan courts between 2013 and 2018, which is the period of implementation of the judicial reform. The study also measures the technical and scale efficiency using the Data Envelopment Analysis method under output orientation. The Malmquist index was used to measure the productivity change decomposed into efficiency and technical change. The results show a low level of courts efficiency of 53.2%, with increasing returns to scale for most courts except administrative ones. The total factor productivity of courts shows an improvement of 6.3%, mainly due to technical change, except for the commercial courts whose productivity deteriorated during the study period. These results show the positive effect of the reform. Courts still have a margin for improving their efficiency by increasing inputs in order to benefit from economies of scale or by improving judges' productivity.

„Heute keine Sitzung wegen zu teuren Bieres!“: Die Analyse des Bamberger Bierkriegs von 1907 als Thema der Öffentlichkeit
Authors: Kast Matthias
Published: August 2021

Oktober 1907: In Bamberg herrscht ein unerbittliches Ringen um die Vorherrschaft über den Preis für das populäre Gesellschaftsgetränk Bier. Die Hersteller wollen den Gerstensaft stadtweit um zwei Pfennige pro Liter erhöhen, das trinkfreudige Publikum sieht das anders und rebelliert. Den anschließenden „Bierkrieg“ tragen verschiedenste Konfliktparteien aus – Brauer und Biertrinker, Wirte und Zeitungen. Und dennoch bleibt er ein Krieg ohne Schwertstrich und Blutvergießen. Vielmehr setzt die Antibierpreisbewegung auf Boykott und Protest und erreicht nach nur sieben Tagen eine Abkehr von der Verteuerung. Der im vorliegenden Buch behandelte „Bamberger Bierkrieg“ versinnbildlicht, wie sich öffentliche Prozesse zu Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts in einer deutschen Kleinstadt abspielten, welche Personen auf welchen Öffentlichkeitsebenen agierten, wie sich Proteste zu einer Bewegung formten und nicht zuletzt, welch hohen Stellenwert die Presse als einziges periodisches Massenmedium innerhalb der öffentlichen Kommunikation anno 1907 besaß. October 1907: In Bamberg, there is a relentless struggle for supremacy over the price of the beer. The producers want to raise the price by two pfennigs per liter in the city, but the public, which loves to drink, sees things differently and rebels. The "Bambergian Beer War" was fought by a variety of parties - beer brewers and beer drinkers, pub owners and the press. Nevertheless, it remains a war without swordplay and bloodshed. The anti-beer price movement relies much more on boycotts and protests and achieves a reversal of the price increase after only seven days. The "Bambergian Beer War" examined in this book symbolizes how public processes worked in a small German town at the beginning of the 20th century, which people acted at which levels in the public sphere, how protests formed a movement and what influence the press had as the only periodic mass medium within public communication in 1907.

Modelling Chablis vintage quality in response to inter-annual variation in weather
Authors: Biss Alex , Ellis Richard
Published: August 2021

The weather during grape production affects wine quality. Changes in the weather in the Chablis region of France and in the quality of Chablis wines (vintage scores) from 1963 to 2018 were analysed. Chablis wine quality improved over this period, with no Poor vintages after 1991. Summer temperature and sunshine duration both increased progressively between 1963 to 2018 with fewer frost days but no linear change detected in precipitation. Chablis vintage score was modelled as a function of mean temperature from April to September (curvilinear relation, maximum score at 16–17 °C), mean minimum temperature in September (an index of cool nights; negative relation), and total rainfall from June to September (negative relation). This simple three-factor model distinguished between Poor and higher-quality Chablis vintages well, but less so between Good and Excellent vintages. Application of the model to different climate change scenarios (assuming current viticultural and oenological practices) suggests that vintage scores will decline (slightly to substantially, dependent upon emissions scenario) by the 2041 to 2070 period. This reduction in quality would, however, be minimised if the warming of cool nights is less than currently forecast. The Chablis vintage score model may help identify sites with suitable climates for premium white wine from Chardonnay grapevines in emerging cool climate viticulture regions as well as aiding Chablis producers mitigate the effects of climate change.

Published: August 2021

This article analyzes the assessment of the four development levels of the Digital Teaching Competence (DTC) to recognize the needs and formulation of challenges in training and educational innovation required in the pedagogical practices of university professors under the current context of the Covid-19 pandemic. The study used an empirical-analytical methodology with a non-experimental, transactional, descriptive design. The sample design was probabilistic, estimated with 95% confidence and 5% error among 252 teachers from various faculties of the University of La Guajira. The selected instrument corresponded to the rubric's application to evaluate the university professor's digital teaching competence in Latin America. Among the study's significant results, we highlight that the rubric presented a high Cronbach's alpha reliability (α: 0.947). In the general assessment of DTC development, it was estimated that 78.2% of teachers are in the first two levels of DTC development assessment (Beginning and Middle). The evaluation rubric allows identifying challenges and opportunities that teacher training must address to advance the professional development of professors.
The Hyperfunction Theory: An Emerging Paradigm for the Biology of Aging
Authors: Gems David
Published: August 2021

The process of senescence (aging) is largely determined by the action of wild-type genes. For most organisms, this does not reflect any adaptive function of senescence, but rather evolutionary effects of declining selection against genes with deleterious effects later in life. To understand aging requires an account of how evolutionary mechanisms give rise to pathogenic gene action and late-life disease, that integrates evolutionary (ultimate) and mechanistic (proximate) causes into a single explanation. A well-supported evolutionary explanation by G.C. Williams argues that senescence can evolve due to pleiotropic effects of alleles with antagonistic effects on fitness and late-life health (antagonistic pleiotropy, AP). What has remained unclear is how gene action gives rise to late-life disease pathophysiology. One ultimate-proximate account is T.B.L. Kirkwood’s disposable soma theory. Based on the hypothesis that stochastic molecular damage causes senescence, this reasons that aging is coupled to reproductive fitness due to preferential investment of resources into reproduction, rather than somatic maintenance. An alternative and more recent ultimate-proximate theory argues that aging is largely caused by programmatic, developmental-type mechanisms. Here ideas about AP and programmatic aging are reviewed, particularly those of M.V. Blagosklonny (the hyperfunction theory) and J.P. de Magalhães (the developmental theory), and their capacity to make sense of diverse experimental findings is described.
Heat-Health Behavior Change During Summer 2020 in African American Alabama Residents

Published: August 2021

To investigate how heat-health behaviors changed in summer 2020 compared with previous summers, our community–academic partnership conducted telephone surveys to collect data on cooling behaviors, safety concerns, and preferences for cooling alternatives for 101 participants living in Alabama. Participants indicating they would visit cooling centers declined from 23% in previous summers to 10% in summer 2020. The use of cooling centers and other public spaces may be less effective in reducing heat-related illness because of safety concerns amid the COVID-19 pandemic and police brutality.

—The paper considers the seismogeologic, structural, and tectonic features of Neoproterozoic–Paleozoic and Mesozoic sedimentary complexes in the Arctic regions of the Siberian Platform. Based on the results of deep drilling, the geologic structure of the study area was analyzed, and the key sections of Neoproterozoic–Paleozoic deposits of the Anabar–Khatanga and Lena–Anabar oil and gas areas (OGA) were compiled. Analysis of geological and geophysical materials showed the existence of a sedimentary basin up to 14–16 km in thickness on the continental margin of the Siberian Platform, with five regional seismogeologic megacomplexes in its section: Riphean, Vendian, lower–middle Paleozoic, Permian, and Mesozoic. Based on the results of a complex interpretation of CDP seismic-survey and deep-drilling data, a structural and tectonic analysis was performed, structural maps were compiled for all reference stratigraphic levels, and a conclusion has been drawn about the similarity of the structural plans of the Riphean top and overlying sedimentary complexes. Using a structural map along the Permian top, a tectonic map of the study area was compiled, which corresponds to the current state of study. The results of numerical modeling of the salt diapir formation processes are presented, and the types of anticlinal structures, potential oil- and gas-promising objects, are considered.

Published: August 2021

Background: Wetlands worldwide and in Ethiopia have long been subject to severe degradation due to anthropogenic factors. This study was aimed at analyzing the impact of land use/cover dynamics on Lake Abaya-Chamo wetland in 1990 – 2019. Data were acquired via Landsat TM of 1990, ETM+ of 2000, and OLI of 2010 and 2019 images plus using interview. Supervised classifications (via ERDAS14 and ArcGIS10.5) were applied to detect land use/cover classes. Change matrix model and Kappa coefficients were used for analysis of the land use/cover dynamics in the lake-wetland.Result: It was found that forest; water, shrub land, agricultural land, settlement and swamp area were the main land use/cover classes. Wetland/swamp area has continuously declined throughout 1990 – 2000, 2000 – 2010 and 2010 – 2019 where its magnitude of shrinkage in the respective periods was 11.4 % (700 ha), 16 % (867 ha) and 31.3 % (1,424 ha). While ‘settlement’ and ‘water body’ of the lake-wetland increased at progressively increasing magnitudes of changes in three periods within 1990 – 2019, ‘shrub land’ and ‘swamp’ declined at progressively increasing magnitudes of loss in the same periods Siltation, rapid population growth-led expansion of settlement and irrigation-based farming were the main drivers of the land use/cover dynamics and degradation of the lake-wetland. Conclusion: Thus, consistent mapping and integrated actions should be taken to curb the threats on the sustainability of the lake-wetland in Southern Ethiopia. To curb the impact of LULC dynamics on wetlands, the government should: formulate clear policy, institutional and legal framework on the management of wetlands.
