GENDER INTERPRETATION OF NATURAL SCENTS IN FRENCH PROSE
Authors: Vasylieva Nadiia
Published: November 2019

The article is dedicated to an actual linguistic problem: peculiarities of gender comparison of the olfactory information interpretation based on the material of French belles-lettres prose of the late XIX – the first half of XX century. The investigation aim is to analyze gender interpretations of scents by male and female authors, depicting nature phenomena, through paysage contexts, found out in French fiction. In order to achieve the aim, a complex of analytical methods has been used: contrastive, contextual, structural, descriptional, lexical, and stylistic as well as quantitative. 27 male and 7 female text fragments have been analyzed, referring to the olfactory information of objects/phenomena of nature. The most widespread methods of scents nomination are immediate description of smell source and application of stylistic devices (epithets, similes, metaphors, synectic metaphors etc.).
It has been identified that male olfactory images are more vivid, comparing with female ones. French authoresses almost avoid scents descriptions, naming them accidentally. Therefore, their interpretations are rather sketchy. The research results disprove the accepted stereotypes on social roles of men and women, in which male behavior is associated with reason and rationality, whereas female – with emotionality and certain expressivity in actions and words. The stylistic analysis of the sorted out lexis revealed a completely opposite tendency, where an author is more expressive in scents interpretations.
Thus, belles-lettres texts contain valuable empirical material, accumulating peculiarities of writers’ perception processes, nuances of the worldview and gender characteristics of language/speech (similarities and differences) of men and women.

Introduction: the necessity for a temporary pacemaker (TP) goes through several scenarios. Some patients require the device to complete an infection treatment, regain the pace after myocardial infarction, or while awaiting the release of the definitive device by the health care provider. Regardless of the TP passage technique, good electrode fixation is essential, avoiding dislocation and the necessity for repositioning, among other complications. Objective: to compare two forms of TP fixation, one under direct fixation to the skin and the other keeping the venous introducer connected to the plastic protection through the pacemaker electrode lead. Methods: Forty patients were randomized, 20 in each group. Data regarding the procedure time, electrode lead position, command thresholds, sensitivity, and complications were recorded. The primary outcome considered was the necessity for repositioning or exchange of transvenous TP and secondary any complication without the necessity to reposition it. Results: There were no significant differences in the total duration of the procedure between the groups in the initial position of the electrode and the access route used. The group with plastic protection had a higher primary outcome (60%) than the direct fixation group (20%; p = 0.0098). There were no differences regarding the secondary outcome (p = 1.0). The group with plastic protection also had more total complications compared to the other group (p = 0.0262). Conclusion: Direct fixation of the pacemaker electrode lead was safer concerning the fixation with plastic protection, reducing complications such as electrode dislocation requiring repositioning or replacement without increasing the procedure time.

Español.  La especie Corema album se encuentra en el litoral oeste de la Península Ibérica, desde Camariñas (La Coruña) hasta Punta Camarinal (Cádiz), donde ha sufrido un considerable retroceso, como otros muchos taxones de distribución costera. A lo largo del área en la cual aparece se ha usado en ceremonias religiosas, al igual que se aprovechaban sus frutos comestibles, los cuales llegaron a ser un producto más en algunos mercados de ciudades gallegas y portuguesas. En cambio, no estaba constatado el uso de tal especie en la región andaluza, que es el principal objetivo de este trabajo. Por medio de encuestas a los habitantes de Barbate (Cádiz) se demuestra que los frutos de C. album se usaron y comercializaron en este pueblo hasta finales de los años cincuenta, cuando desbroces por parte de los gestores de la zona para favorecer las plantaciones de pino disminuyeron la producción de frutos de este arbusto en los años siguientes. De forma conjunta se produjo en la zona un alzamiento económico, que permitiría la aparición de puestos de trabajo con más beneficios que la venta de frutos de la camarina, lo cual hizo que su el uso de tal especie en la zona desapareciera hasta nuestros días.english. Corema album is an endemic species from the west coastline of the Iberian Peninsula, from Camariñas (La Coruña) to Punta Camarinal (Cádiz). This plant has suffered an intense deterioration in the last few decades. This bush has been used in some religious ceremonies along its natural distribution, and its fruit has been eaten in some towns in Galicia and Portugal. The key objective in this study is analyze whether this fruit was used or not in Andalucía, since this fact is not know yet. By interviewing the inhabitants of Barbate (Cádiz) we have been found that the fruit of Corema album were eaten and sold in this village until the end of the fifties, when consecutive cleanings of the vegetation against bushes joined with a better economic situation caused the end of this activity.

Published: November 2019

The umbilical cord is an unlimited source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). MSC obtained from the umbilical cord can be differentiated into different types of mesodermal cells, e.g. chondrocytes, osteocytes, adipocytes, and myocytes. It is also worth mentioning that there are reports of MSC differentiation into endo and ectodermal cells. The immunosuppressive properties of MSCs can protect against graft versus host disease as well as prevent rejection after transplantation. Umbilical cord stem cells can be frozen and then stored in liquid nitrogen for many years. In this work, we focused on the use of preclinical and clinical umbilical cord stem cells in disease entities such as type I diabetes, chronic renal failure, and multiple sclerosis. Furthermore, the anti-cancer properties of Wharton’s jelly cells are described.

Alterations in cells depend on their genetic material, its activation and translation of the products. The genes responsible for the cell cycle processes and apoptosis of porcine oviductal cells have been presented in our study. The processes occurring in the reproductive system of females are extremely complex and require in-depth knowledge. Thanks to in vitro studies on the fallopian tube epithelium cells, we can get closer to understanding the biochemical and morphological changes occurring in mammalian organisms. Our research was conducted on fallopian tubes obtained from commercially bred pigs and its aim was to assess the expression profile of genes responsible for the most important processes of cellular life. Cell cultures were carried out for 30 days, with the obtained cells subjected to molecular analysis. We have shown significant regulation of “cell death” and “cell cycle” genes, some of which are related to the reproductive system. The alterations in transcriptomic profile and mutual relations between the genes were analyzed and related to the literature findings. The knowledge gained could help in identifying new potential markers of the in vitro occurrence of processes described by the ontology groups of interest.

Published: November 2019

Prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases, most of which are life threatening and incurable, is an increasing clinical problem. To date, studies have demonstrated a superior proliferation rate of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) compared to other mesenchymal stem cells in vitro. DPSCs has recently been recognized as a novel treatment strategy for neurodegenerative disease, due to their advanced potential for neurogenic differentiation. The oral cavity has been described as a promising source of dental pulp stem cells. DPSCs are widely used in regenerative dentistry holding alternative capacity for osteogenic differentiation and therefore new promises for tissue and whole tooth regeneration. Dental stem cell banking offers a plentiful source of stem cells representing great potential for cell reprogramming and thus cell therapy. Recently, the association of pulp stem cells with three – dimensional scaffold templates allows for building up naturally derived implants. This review introduces to unique properties of DPSCs and biological factors influencing mineralization, proliferation and differentiation of pulp stem cells. Latest research studies are compared in terms of effectiveness and limitations of techniques for the isolation of pulp stem cells, including the enzymatic digestion and the explant culture methods. Moreover, a short overview of most recent findings and clinical application of DPSCs is proffered including progress of current research and limitations still to be addressed in the nearest future. Finally, the article presents new advances in the area of regenerative dentistry and regenerative medicine, including three dimensional printing and three dimensional analysis, emerged to deepen studies under procedures to replace the non patient specific artificial implants.

Ovarian follicular cells - living in the shadow of stemness cellular competence
Authors: Moncrieff Lisa , Mozdziak Paul , Jeseta Michal , Machatkova Marie , Kranc Wiesława , Kempisty Bartosz
Published: November 2019

Granulosa cells (GCs) are a major component found in ovarian follicular fluid among oocytes, theca cells, and ovarian surface epithelial (OSE) cells. GCs are steroidogenic and have morphological functions that are important for the development of the follicular follicle. The follicle protects the developing female egg. GCs are also essential for the maturation of the female germ cell. Stem cell properties have been found in luteinised GCs and in vivo cultures have the potential to differentiate to become cells found outside of the ovary. Both three-dimensional (3D) culturing and mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) medium have been used to help improve the culturing lifespan of GCs so that their profound proliferation and differentiation capabilities can be studied. Small RNAs called MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are released from exosomes originating from GCs, and they are involved in transforming growth factor (TGF)-β signalling, follicle-stimulating hormone, hormone-related miRNAs, and apoptosis-related pathway. Finding the miRNAs involved in these pathways, and the mechanisms controlling GCs are important to treating conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and creating new drug therapies. Besides GCs, ovarian stem cells (OSCs) were discovered in the OSE, and they are believed to be derived from very small embryonic stem cells (VSELs). Transplanting blood mononuclear cells, cell Hormone Therapy (cHT) with bone marrow stem cell supplement and increasing vitamin C levels are all therapies currently being researched into that involve GCs to combat the effects of aging and infertility.

Authors: Azeem Musaddaq , Javed Asif , Morikawa Hideaki , Noman Muhammad Tayyab , Khan Muhammad Qamar , Shahid Muhammad , Wiener Jakub
Published: November 2019

Polyester is a popular class of material used in material engineering. With its 0.4% moisture regain, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is classified as highly hydrophobic, which originates from its lack of polar groups on its backbone. This study used a parallel-plate nonthermal plasma dielectric barrier discharge system operating at medium pressure in dry air and nitrogen (N2) to alter the surface properties of PET fabrics to increase their hydrophilic capabilities. Water contact angle, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were utilized to analyze any effect from the plasma treatment. The wettability analysis revealed a reduction in the contact angle of more than 80% within 5 min for both discharges. Scanning electron microscopy analysis showed no microscopic damage to the fiber structure, guaranteeing that the fabrics’ structural integrity was preserved after treatment. AFM analysis showed an increase in the nanometer roughness, which was considered beneficial because it increased the total surface area, further increasing the hydrophilic capacity. XPS analysis revealed a sharp increase in the presence of polar functional groups, indicating that the induced surface changes are mostly chemical in nature. Comparing that of untreated fabrics to treated fabrics, a Increase in water absorption capacity was observed for air-treated and N2-treated fabrics, when these fabrics were used immediately after plasma exposure.

The Kuchyňa tuff is found on the Eastern margin of the Vienna Basin and was formed by felsic volcanism. The Ar/Ar single grain sanidine method was applied and resulted in an age of 15.23±0.04 Ma, which can be interpreted as the age of the eruption. The obtained numerical age is in accordance with the subtropical climate inferred by the presence of fossil leaves that originated in an evergreen broadleaved forest. Furthermore, the described volcanism was connected with the syn-rift stage of the back-arc Pannonian Basin system. The sedimentological data from the underlying sandy mudstones indicate alluvial environment what confirms terrestrial conditions during deposition. Moreover, the tuff deposition probably occurred shortly before the Badenian transgression of the Central Paratethys Sea.

Authors: Okoroiwu Henshaw Uchechi , Iwara Iwara Arikpo
Published: November 2019

Pesticides are used in agriculture and in domestic pest control. Dichlorvos, an organophosphate, is a predominant pesticide used in domestic insect control in developing countries. Acute and prolonged exposure may lead to death, genotoxic, neurological, reproductive, carcinogenic, immunological, hepatic, renal, respiratory, metabolic, dermal and other systemic effects.

For the ERc 1400-30/7 type bucket wheel excavator (BWE) used in various Romanian open pit mines, a virtual model of the boom was constructed in SolidWorks. On this model, the variable in time forces acting during the excavation process were simulated, and the time history analysis (time response) was performed. This dynamic time response analysis was performed for excavation of homogenous material only, considering the damping as being of Rayleigh’s type, where the damping matrix is a linear combination of the mass and stiffness matrices. Based on the conducted analysis, the displacements of the boom during excavation were observed.
Supporting problems at an island mining face in shanxi, China. Case study based on field observation
Authors: Feng Xiaowe
Published: November 2019

In this paper, field observation is conducted in Fujiaao Coal Mine, Linfen city in Shanxi province, China, which is unique because of its island-typed mining layout. Firstly, geology, layout of the coal cutting face, supporting pattern are presented and details are also provided. Then the problems are discussed and analyzed based on existing bolting theories. It finds out the length of the cable bolt is too long, which requires long time to drill boreholes, whilst the effectiveness is limited due to the illogical combination between cable bolt function zone and rock bolt function zone. Also, the face place allocated to rock bolt is very likely to cause line contact between its edge and steel belt, thus the bearing force is tremendously weakened and solely determined by strength of belt. Furthermore, field observation proves the low active supporting effects to roof, thus leading obvious roof sink even without the disturbance of mining activity. Eventually, some solutions are proposed with the intention to improve the situation based on the economic and technical considerations, including bolting in humidity environment, rational cable bolt length, wise choice of face plate, and ways to increase pretension force. The viewpoints and comments of this study can be referred by practitioners in coal mines sharing same difficulties.

The drill string consists of connected drill pipes and other elements. The connection is carried out by screwing of the drill string elements with the help of tool-joint tapered thread. The operational characteristics of the drill pipes depend of the manufacture precision of these tool-joints mostly. The accuracy of the thread is regulated by the accuracy of its profile and the accuracy of its pitch diameter value. The accuracy of the tapered thread manufacturing on the lathe in its depending on the values of the geometric parameters of the lathe tool and the values of deviations of its installation relatively to the workpiece axis is investigated. It is proved that for the tapered thread of form VI profile used for connection of drill pipes with the diameter from 30 mm to 44 mm the most influential factor, in relation to the accuracy of the thread profile is the value of the rake angle. Application of the rake angle value up to −5° according to the research data leads to a deviation from the specified profile of 0.3°, which is more than 35% of the declared standard tolerance on deviations from the profile. Also, the influence of the back rake angle value on the value of the deviation from the standard pitch diameter of the thread is proved. It is proved that the magnitude of the tangential displacement of the nose of the cutter relatively to the axis of the thread up to −0.2 mm can cause a deviation of the profile angle of 0.18°, which is 27% of the standard tolerance.
Suppliers and their role in modern enterprise – Case study
Authors: Midor Katarzyna
Published: November 2019

For each company, the process of selecting and evaluating suppliers of both the components needed for production and the implementation of production process is a very important aspect of their business, as the selection of appropriate contractors has an impact on the quality of final product, which is offered to customers. Dynamically changing situation in the company’s environment causes that success is achieved by those companies which implement new solutions and tools in their relations with suppliers. One such solution may include the PN-EN ISO 9001:2015 standard, which requires the organization to evaluate and select suppliers, taking into account their ability to provide a product compliant with the organization’s requirements. This paper presents a proposal to supplement the procedure of supplier qualification in a selected company. Attention was drawn to the fact that it is necessary for the modern organization to have access to database of qualified suppliers, who at the time of arising demand are able to meet the requirements set for them. It is also important for the enterprise to have at least two qualified suppliers for the same component in its database. Such an approach results from the current market requirements. The paper is based on a case study as a recognized method of analyzing and discussing authentic situations applied in management sciences.

Es común afirmar que la educación del país está en crisis. Numerosos ensayos han sido escritos para mostrar las dificultades que asedian y degradan a nuestras instituciones educativas, y numerosos los congresos que se han hecho para encontrar alternativas coherentes que han de conducirnos a modelos menos conflictivos y más eficaces, pero nunca en los últimos 90 años se había legislado en materia educativa, como se pretende hacer con el proyecto de ley que hoy se encuentra en el Senado, proyecto que está siendo concertado entre el Gobierno y las comunidades comprometidas con la educación en el país.
