Authors: Piptyuk V.P. , Prokopenko P.G. , Grekov S.V. , Andrievsky G.O.
Published: May 2021

The purpose of the work is to determine the effect of slag on the processes of mixing the steel melt in the ladle during its bottom purge. The study by physical modeling was carried out on a transparent bucket model with its bottom purge without slag layer and, if any, it was present. Water was used as the liquid of the metal, and slag was sunflower oil. The bath was washed with air at various costs. Controled the thickness of the slag layer and the surface area of the metal surface from it. The level of conductivity of a water bath was determined depending on the variables. A slight decrease in the electrical conductivity of the melt mist (water) in the presence of slag is observed, as well as an increase in the thickness of the slag layer and the surface area of the melt surface with increasing air flow. The factors which can be applied for the calculation of hydrodynamic processes during the processing of steel on the "ladle-furnace" installation, taking into account the slag component, are revealed. It is shown that when the air flow increases, the diameter of the water released from the slag (oil) increases, and when the volume of the latter is stored, the thickness of its layer increases. The expediency of continuation of researches by cold physical modeling of hydrodynamics, heat and mass transfer with and without slag is shown, which will allow them to be taken into account in hot modeling and in industrial conditions.

Authors: Palamar D. G. , Vorobey S. A. , Razdobreev V. G. , Balahanova T. V.
Published: May 2021

The aim of the work is to study the non-uniformity of mechanical properties in the cross section of continuously cast billets of various manufacturers in Ukraine. Mechanical properties were determined by the method of measuring Brinell hardness. Mathematical relationships were developed to describe them and determine the need to take this factor into account when calculating the stress-strain state of blanks. It is established that the hardness of the surface layer of blanks, as a rule, is higher than the central zone by 0.5-7.6%. This is due to the smaller and dense dendritic structure of the surface layers. The biggest difference is observed in workpieces with a thickness of 410 mm made of steel grade 20. In workpieces made of steel grade 45, the difference in hardness of the surface layer and the central zone is 0.5-4.7% and practically does not depend on the thickness of the workpiece in the investigated interval (135-350 mm). It is shown that in the study of the stress-strain state of the metal when rolling continuously cast billets of low-carbon steels, it is advisable to take into account the uneven distribution of mechanical properties over the cross section. For medium carbon steel blanks, this factor is optional. On the basis of literature data and the results of experimental studies performed, dependencies describing the change in strength and plastic properties in the cross section of continuously cast billets of low carbon steels are proposed. These dependencies should be used in the calculation of the stress-strain state of the metal. For medium-carbon steel blanks, this factor is optional.
Analytical models of austenite transformation in steel with allowance for internal stresses
Authors: Bobyr S.V.
Published: May 2021

The aim of the work is to review the analytical models of austenite decay, taking into account the internal stresses obtained by various authors. It is shown that a common drawback of the known works is the neglect of the effect of the stress-strain state arising during the heat treatment of parts on the kinetics of structural transformations, while the available experimental data indicate a significant effect of stresses and strains on structural transformations. It has been established that the experimental data accumulated to date do not allow reliably describing the effect of the stress state on structural transitions during the heat treatment of steels for the hot deformation tool. A simple theoretical expression is proposed for calculating the amount of martensite formed as a function of the voltage in the γ phase. It is theoretically shown that taking into account the voltage acting in the γ phase leads to an increase in the temperature of the end of the formation of martensite. Experimental study of this effect is especially convenient to carry out in isothermal conditions under uniaxial tension. It is shown that in order to reliably predict the structural state of the hot deformation tool during heat treatment, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive study related to the experimental study of the effect of stresses on all types of transformations and the creation of an adequate mathematical model of austenite decomposition based on the obtained experimental data.

Published: May 2021

The aim of the study is to develop an adapted methodology for assessing the influence of the chemical composition on the properties of multicomponent steels and finished rolled products. An approach to predicting the mechanical properties of structural steels with regard to heat treatment parameters, based on the concept of a directed chemical bond in the description of interatomic interaction in the melt, is presented. The physico-chemical models of the structure of the melts, which interconnect their composition, structure, and properties, were developed in the Iron and Steel Institute of NAS Ukraine. The representation of the element-by-element composition of multicomponent steels in the integral parameters of the interatomic interaction makes it possible to reduce the parametricity of the models. The role of various pairing interactions of alloying, microalloying and impurity elements in the formation of properties of steels and alloys was evaluated. A factor analysis has been carried out, the chemical composition of the steel has been structured into various subsystems. It is shown that the most significant subsystems are the matrix m (C, Si, Mn) and microalloying ml (Cr, Mo, V, Ni, Ti, Nb). For two samples of structural steels with significant technological differences and features (1-st group - low alloyed steels: St3sp, VSt3sp, VMSt3sp; 2-nd group: 09Г2ФБ, 10ХСНД, 15ХСНД, 14Г2САФ, 14Г2АФ, 16Г2АФ) dependencies of the type are obtained: σВ (σ0,2, δ5) = f (interatomic interaction parameters, Vcool).
It is shown that the most important parameters for calculating the σB, σ0.2 and δ5 matrix subsystem m are the integral parameters of the interatomic interaction d and ZY, dm and tgαm, and for the microalloying subsystem ml - ZYml and dml, as well as the cooling rate Vcool for both subsystems. The developed semi-empirical models are recommended for expert assessment of the mechanical properties of structural steels and for use in automated control systems and automated process control systems.

Published: May 2021

The aim of the work is the development of mathematical and software for the study of transients arising from the management of the finishing unit of the mill of the rolling mill 150. The movements, speeds, accelerations and torques in various connections of the finishing unit were studied. The linear mechanical analogue in the form of an extensive system of discrete masses connected by elastic-dissipative elements was used to estimate the integral characteristics of the block load. Block design calculations include engines, a distribution gearbox, two transmission shafts for rolling rolls of horizontal and vertical stands of the block. The mathematical model for analyzing the oscillation frequencies of a block is represented by a system of second-order linear differential equations. The equations for changing the drive current in the armature circuit of the motor and in the excitation circuit, equalizing the motion of the armature (rotor) of the electric motor, the equations for determining the motor torque are presented. . According to the results of studies of the mill 150, the range of rolling speeds outside the resonant zones was established and the possibility of increasing the rolling speed by 10% was justified. Analysis of the frequencies, the level and nature of dynamic loads allowed us to develop a technical solution to reduce the dynamics of the drive line by changing the gear ratio of the gearbox. The study of the dynamics of the rolling unit of the first in Ukraine high-speed double-strand wire mill 150, put into operation at the Makeevka metallurgical combine, allowed an objective assessment of the optimality of the design parameters of its equipment, reliability and guaranteed life.
Reconsidering Creditor Governance In A Time Of Financial Alchemy
Authors: McClane Jeremy
Published: May 2021

For many years corporate lenders have been a crucial force in the boardroom, providing a check on management and con- tributing to firm governance. However, as this Article docu- ments, lenders’ influence has receded in recent years for a large and important class of corporate borrowers. The culprit is a familiar one in a less familiar guise: the sale of loans by origi- nating banks for securitization—like that which gained noto- riety with pre-financial crisis mortgage-backed securities, but now are deployed in the market for corporate loans. As this Ar- ticle points out, the shift from relationship lending to arms- length securitization has the potential to intensify moral haz- ard, leading banks to provide less monitoring for their highly securitized clients. Recent data supports this narrative of debt governance dereliction with potentially enormous conse- quences: it heralds the disappearance of an important source of fiscal discipline and governance at a moment when U.S. cor- porations carry more debt than at any time in history (totaling half of U.S. gross domestic product), and an economic crisis threatens to expose companies whose debt has been poorly managed.

This Article presents a theoretical and empirical examina- tion of the dramatic change in creditor corporate governance and its implications. It shows how the diminishment of lend- ers’ role in governance is a predictable result of a confluence of forces in the financial markets, in particular, the use of struc- tured finance to securitize loans, which in turn has driven a lending market with diminishing checks on borrower profli- gacy. It also shows how this new market is weakening govern- ance norms in ways that are harmful to borrowing companies, lenders, and society as a whole.

The Article makes two contributions to the literature. First, it empirically documents the decline of lenders’ corporate gov- ernance interventions, cataloging original data on all borrower loan covenant violations—a primary mechanism by which lenders intervene in governance—from 2008 through 2018. Second, although many scholars have written about lenders’ role in corporate governance and securitization separately, this Article brings the two together. It thereby adds a missing com- ponent to an important literature by showing how corporate governance and the financial system affect each other, and pro- posing solutions to bolster both.
Territorial Education through Urban Agriculture: Contributing to Building Sustainable Cities in Times of a Pandemic
Authors: Simon Sandrine
Published: May 2021

The multi-dimensional damages caused by the Covid-19 pandemic have highlighted the fragility of our economic systems and their lack of resilience. People are starting to question globalisation, and debates on alternative modes of development are back and alive. If economic paradigms need reforming, we also need educational systems that will equip people to build more sustainable societies. With this in mind, this article focuses on two crucial components in ‘current issues in comparative education’. One relates to the emergence of a so-far under-explored area of research in education, that of Territorial Education (TE), and places it in the context of both the 1990s educational reforms, intended to create a standardised ‘world class education’, and of ‘education for sustainability’. The second one focuses on the experiential nature that skill-orientated Territorial Education can provide, in contrast to other types of ‘education for sustainability’ approaches that are more conceptual. Using Urban Agriculture initiatives in Lisbon as illustrative examples, the article shows that such practical approaches might help to make cities sustainable and resilient in the future.
Suggestions for Critical Awareness, Accountability, and Transformation in Human Rights Education

Published: May 2021

Human Rights Education exists as an implementing entity of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Scholars such as Andre Keet and others have criticized the dissemination of universal rights through education because it covets Western ideology over local ethical and epistemological constructs. Using Tibbitts’ revised typologies of Human Rights Education, this paper offers suggestions for critical pedagogy for the teaching of, for, and through Human Rights. These suggestions are drawn from examples of critical practice from throughout the world.

Abstract
A MINIMAL ROLE FOR MINIMUM TAXES
Authors: Sheffrin Steven
Published: May 2021

The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act eliminated the alternative minimum tax for corporations and sharply eviscerated the alternative minimum tax for individuals. Yet recently there has been a resurgence of interest in minimum taxes both for the international tax systems and in certain domestic contexts.

This Article argues that there should be a role, but a very minimal one, for minimum taxes in our tax system. While reasonable arguments have been put forward for minimum taxes, on closer examination, many of these arguments are found wanting. This Article, however, does make a second-best case for one type of minimum tax, namely as a backstop for a potentially flawed or deficient tax. That is the “minimal role for a minimum tax.”

To develop this argument, I explore three distinct theoretical rationales for minimum taxes that have been put forward. First, I discuss the distinction between unilateral and multilateral minimum taxes and the potential role that multilateral minimum taxes can play in alleviating concerns that arise from tax competition and the presence of tax havens. While unilateral minimum taxes may have a strong rationale, the rationale for multilateral minimum taxes is not compelling. Second, I show how considerations of fairness, public perception, and alternative views of the corporation create a demand for minimum taxes. This demand, however, can be satisfied in other ways. Finally, I discuss how the imperfect targeting of tax preferences and practical limitations in the design and effectiveness of the most common taxes can provide a potential, but limited, efficiency rationale for the use of minimum taxes. I lastly provide an example of the use of minimum taxes for reforming state corporate taxation.
Peer Support as a Tool for Community Care: “Nothing About Us, Without Us”
Authors: Bakshi Shinjini
Published: May 2021

In the face of socio-political marginalization, frontline communities reclaim power by harnessing peer wisdom and resilience. The year 2020 marked the confluence of a global pandemic and widespread resistance against anti-Black racism and police violence, highlighting the value of peer voices and community perspectives. To dismantle and transcend carceral approaches to community care, the field of social work is invited to join a larger anti-carceral mental health movement that honors lived experience and works alongside peers to build identity-affirming structures of mental health care. This article examines the ways in which frontline communities benefit from expanded access to anti-carceral formal and informal peer support as a mental health safety net that interrupts harm and prioritizes agency, consent, and self-determination. This paper broadens social work’s conceptualization of peer support through theoretical frameworks of anti-carceral social work, abolition, and intersectionality. Social work and its adjacent fields are called to urgently center Black liberation, collective healing, and community care by advocating for the integration of formal and informal peer support into mental health policy and practice. This paper strategically leans into a lineage of critical peer thought scholarship by utilizing footnotes and citations to model the ethical acknowledgment of peer labor within human rights movements. This intentional structure promotes radical solidarity that resists the exploitation of people with lived experience.

This Comment addresses minimum and maximum substantive international protections set out in the Berne Convention and subsequent multilateral copyright accords. While much scholarship has addressed Berne minima, the maxima have generally received less attention. It first discusses the general structure of the Berne Convention, TRIPS, and the WCT regarding these contours, and then analyzes their application to the recent “press publishers’ right” promulgated in the 2019 EU Digital Single Market Directive.
The Role of Sociocultural Theory in L2 Empirical Research
Authors: Hughes Sean
Published: May 2021

Second language acquisition (SLA) is a complex, interdisciplinary field of study which has its roots in subjects as varied as cognition and psychology to social applications and actions in anthropology and sociology (Han & Nassaji, 2019). One of the oldest and most influential ideas in SLA comes from the sociocultural perspective and, in particular, the work of Soviet psychologist Lev Vygotsky. Nearly a century ago, Vygotsky attempted to connect the seemingly disparate areas of society, culture, and cognition in his unifying, wide-angle theory called Sociocultural Theory (SCT).

India is enriched in diversity of flora since ages. The ancient professionals have kept records of their work related to the plants. These works are a source of research today. Sariva is a well known herb since it is most commonly used in Ayurveda for its various therapeutic uses. Later on controversies erupt as locals in different parts of India used different plant species are considered in the name Sariva across India. From the data available, four species are being used as sariva in different regions. Hemidesmus indicus is a botanical name of true sariva. Cryptolepis buchanani and Ichnocarpus are also collectively known as Sariva in ayurveda. In south India Decalepis hamiltonii is being used as true Sariva. Sariva is a widely used herbal drug in the management of cognitive disorders from the times of Aacharya Charaka till today. Hemidesmus indicus, also known in ancient Ayurvedic medicine as "Sugandi" or "Sariva", has been revealed for its medicinal properties since nearly a thousand years. True Sariva traditionally used in various preparations. There is a greater chance of real material been adulterated or substituted by similar looking, cheaper material. Therefore present study is launched to carry out a complete pharmacognostic evaluation of Hemidesmus indicus and its possible adulterants or substitutes which are being used as true sariva in different regions of India. These diagnostic characters will be useful to screen out original crude drug material at the point purchasing.
Traditional Health Care Practices and Cord Care - A Review
Authors: Kale Anil
Published: May 2021

A wide variety of traditional health care practices associated with child health care and cord care are prevalent. Traditional health care practices can be broadly categorized into three subgroups: useful, harmful and harmless. The harmful practices should be identified and should be eliminated or replaced with safer alternatives. Few of the practices are beneficial, safe and should be encouraged. Also, few practices are harmless and there seems no harm in continuing them. Ayurveda has dealt with newborn care Jatmatra paricharya and Nabhinal kartan is a part of it. Many of the newborn care practices mentioned in Ayurveda are beneficial and safe. There is an urgent need to systematically study the utility, futility and possible dangers of a large number of traditional health care practices.

Published: May 2021

Modern tennis players use a variety of strokes. From the physical point of view, these shots can be classified into eight main groups depending on the way the racket interacts with the tennis ball. These are strokes with top, bottom, side, top-side, and bottom-side rotation, as well as strokes without rotation. These eight interactions lead to eight main types of trajectories at the same initial position and the same initial linear velocity. The main purpose of the study is to determine these trajectories and to describe their advantages and disadvantages in modern competitive tennis. The calculations and graphical images are performed with the MatLab mathematical package

Published: May 2021

Notwithstanding previous studies have proved the anti-apoptotic effect of Bcl-2 associated athanogene3 (BAG3) in myocardium, the structural domains PXXP and BAG responsible for its protection are not reformed. Since BAG3 in cardiomyocytes is a new target for inhibiting apoptosis induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) stress, we demonstrated that over-expression of BAG3 reduced the injury induced by H/R in either neonatal or adult rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs and ARCMs, respectively) and PXXP and BAG domains play an important role in cellular protection in H/R stress. Apoptosis in cardiomyocytes induced by hypoxia-reperfusion was evaluated with propidium iodide (PI) staining, cleaved caspase-3, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labelling (TUNEL) staining in cultured NRCMS. Either increasing expression of BAG3 or its mutants was performed to manipulate the level of BAG3. Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) was used to demonstrate the complex that BAG3 is binding to HSC70 and JNK. PXXP and BAG domains of BAG3 played an essential role in BAG3 attenuating cardiomyocytes apoptosis induced by H/R through the JNK signalling pathway. The cellular protection of BAG3 with its structural domain PXXP or BAG is associated with the binding with HSC70 and JNK. These results showed that the protective effect of BAG3 on apoptosis induced by H/R stress is closely related to its structural domains PXXP and BAG. The mechanism may provide a new therapeutic strategy for the patients suffering from ischemic cardiomyopathy and may be a critical role of its PXXP and BAG3 domains.

Sleep deprivation (SD) is commonly associated with decreased attention, reduced responsiveness to external stimuli, and impaired locomotor and cognitive performances. Strong evidence indicates that SD disrupts neuro-immuno-endocrine system which is also linked to cognitive function. Recently Zebrafish have emerged as a powerful model sharing organizational and functional characteristics with other vertebrates, providing great translational relevance with rapid and reliable screening results. In the current study, we examined the effects of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) on cognitive and locomotor activity in sleep deprived Zebrafish model. Learning and memory were assessed by T-maze and locomotor activity was assessed by partition preference and swimming time in spinning tasks. Furthermore, brain bioavailability of aspirin was determined by high performance liquid chromatography. Following drug exposure and tasks, histopathology of the brain was performed. It was observed that three-day SD significantly reduces learning and memory and locomotion in the Zebrafish. Aspirin was found to restore SD induced cognitive decline and improve the locomotor functions. Neuro-inflammation and impaired functional network connectivity is linked to cognitive defects, which implicate the possible benefits of immunotherapeutics. In the present study, aspirin decreased neutrophil infiltration, and increased spine density in dentate gyrus granular and shrinkage and basophil in the CA1 neurons of hippocampus. This hints the benefit of aspirin on neuroimmune functions in sleep deprived fish and warrants more studies to establish the clear molecular mechanism behind this protective effect.

The human body is colonized from the birth by a large number of microorganisms. This will constitute a real “functional microbial organ” that is fundamental for homeostasis and therefore for health in humans. Those microorganisms. The microbial populations that colonize humans creating a specific ecosystem they have been collectively referred to as “human microbiota” or “human normal microflora”. The microbiota play an important pathophysiological role in the various locations of the human body. This article focuses on one of the most important, that is the enteric microbiota. The composition (quantitative and qualitative) of microbes is analyzed in relation to age and environment during the course of human life. It also highlights eubiosis and dysbiosis as key terms for its role in health and disease. Finally, it analyzes its bi-directional relationship with the microbiota of the lungs, skin and that of the brain, and consequently for the whole central and peripheral nervous system for the maintenance of health in the human body.

Memoirs of Ivanna Blazhkevych (1886–1977) as a source for studying her public activity during the First World War
Authors: Drohobytska Oksana
Published: May 2021

The article analyzes the memoir inheritance of writer and teacher Ivanna Blazhkevich (1886–1977). The author aims to find out the main components of her public activity during the First World War. She wrote numerous autobiographical records that allow us to recreate the way of life and its cultural-educational, cooperative, and literary activities.

The greatest information about the public activity of the teacher is presented by the diary "Woman on the battle line". The records cover 1914–1921 and is a valuable historical source of the period of the First World War and the subsequent national liberation struggles of Ukrainians in the territories of Galicia.

Her public activity during the First World War was promoted on the basis of memoirs, autobiographies and diaries. It is noted that the teacher repeatedly helped orphans, former prisoners, wounded and sick military personnel. In very difficult conditions of war, she solves problems of food supply for peasants. As secretary of the "Village Owner" I. Blazhkevich personally asked for help to the inhabitants of the ruined villages.

І. Blazhkevich tried to raise the socio-economic level of life of peasants and through the organization of special economic courses. Much attention was paid to I. Blazhkevych's contribution to the process of organizing rural cooperative institutions and the development of the Ukrainian cooperative movement. This direction of her public work deserves the attention of historians and ethnographers.

The writer participated in various mass events (such as the celebration of Nicholas, a joint "holy" on Easter for schoolchildren), as well as in the organization of kindergarten and summer children's camp.

The author stressed that, through her active public activities, I. Blazhkevich repeatedly suffered persecution on the part of the Polish authorities.

A COMPUTATIONAL FRAMEWORK OF GOAL DIRECTED VOLUNTARY MOTION GENERATION AND CONTROL LOOP IN HUMANOID ROBOTS
Authors: DAĞLARLI Evren
Published: May 2021

In this paper, it is aimed to construct a computational framework related to bio-inspired motion generation and control systems for humanoid robots. To acquire natural motion patterns in humanoid robots, behaviors observed from biological motor systems in humans and other mammals should be analyzed in detail. Computational mechanisms are mainly placed on the bio-physical plausible neural structures embodied in different dynamics. The main components of the system are composed of the limbic system, neocortex, cerebellum, brainstem, and spinal cord modules. Internal dynamics of these modules include a nonlinear estimator (e.g. chaotic attractor), memory formation, learning (neural plasticity) procedure. While the proposed novel neuro-cognitive framework is performing goal-directed voluntary motion generation and control tasks, also it estimates the amount of motion errors and computes motion correction signals. By this study, some motion-based central nervous system lesions (e.g. epilepsy, Parkinson, etc.) can be computationally modeled so that impairments of motor control commands are detected. Thus motion disorders can be reconstructed not only in humanoid robots but also in humans via some locomotion equipment.

Mechanisms of Action And Effects of Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMF) in Medicine
Authors: Luigi Cristiano , Tiziano Pratellesi
Published: May 2021

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy is a non-invasive and non-thermal treatment widely used nowadays to treat various types of disorders and traumas, both in humans and animals. Initially applied only for wound healing, today it finds many applications in medicine for the treatment of bone fractures, arthritis, inflammation, edema, and pain. Although their mechanisms of action are still being studied today, and mainly related to the calcium signaling pathway, they are effective in the adjuvant treatment of many human diseases in different medical specialties. This work aims to report the main evidence and research in the medical field with particular reference to the application of PEMF to some medical specialties as regenerative medicine (wound care), sports medicine, orthopedics, and physiotherapy. Finally, this work also wanted to deepen one of the most recent applications of PEMF in the field of complex diseases, i.e. in the adjuvant treatment of cancer. Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy may play an important role in medicine as a complementary treatment for various human diseases and, by deepening the studies in the future, it will be possible not only to understand the exact mechanisms of action but also to extend its application to other pathologies both in the medical and veterinary fields.
Sentencing for child homicide offences: assessing public opinion using a focus group approach
Authors: Hidderley Laura , Manning Marni
Published: May 2021

Public opinion about sentencing is notoriously difficult to assess. In 2017, the Queensland Sentencing Advisory Council was asked to do just that in relation to sentencing for child homicide offences. Building on the existing literature on public attitudes to the criminal justice system, this study aimed to explore community views on this issue using a focus group methodology. A group of 103 participants was recruited by a market research company from a mix of urban and rural locations in Queensland. After completing a series of questionnaires, participants were assigned a ‘punitiveness score’ and assessed the seriousness of three separate child homicide vignettes. The study found that participants viewed the sentences as inadequate and not sufficiently reflective of the vulnerability and defencelessness of the child. These findings contributed to the Council’s recommendations to the Attorney-General and have since led to legislative change.

Vốn xã hội và hiệu quả hoạt động kinh doanh của doanh nghiệp trường hợp các doanh nghiệp nhỏ và vừa ở Việt Nam
Authors: Thị Quý Nguyễn
Published: May 2021

Bài viết sử dụng bộ dữ liệu của cuộc điều tra doanh nghiệp nhỏ và vừa (DNNVV) giai đoạn từ 2013 đến năm 2015 của Viện Quản lý kinh tế trung ương (CIEM) để tìm hiểu ảnh hưởng của vốn xã hội đến hiệu quả hoạt động của 5.060 DNNVV ở Việt Nam. Kết quả hồi quy logit cho thấy quy mô của doanh nghiệp và mức độ liên kết kinh tế thường xuyên của doanh nghiệp với các doanh nghiệp trong ngành và khác ngành có tác động lớn đến hiệu quả hoạt động kinh doanh của doanh nghiệp. Sự liên kết kinh tế giữa các doanh nghiệp càng cao lại làm giảm hiệu quả hoạt động của doanh nghiệp, đặc biệt là sự liên kết giữa các doanh nghiệp trong cùng ngành nghề kinh doanh. Đồng thời, quy mô doanh nghiệp càng lớn dẫn đến hiệu quả kinh doanh càng giảm. Từ đó, tác giả đề xuất một số gợi ý nhằm hỗ trợ cho hoạt động sản xuất kinh doanh của các DNNVV.

Giriş: Çölyak hastalığı (ÇH) gluten protenine karşı T hücre aracılığı ile gelişen besin intoleransıdır. Gluten çocuklarda en sık besin alerjenlerinden biri olan buğdayın da başlıca proteinlerindendir. Besin alerjileri immunglobulin-E aracılı, T hücre aracılı veya karma reaksiyon ile gelişebilir. Hücre aracılığı ile gelişen alerjik reaksiyonlarda deri yama testi yol göstericidir. Bu çalışmada ÇH'da deri yama testi ile T hücre aracılı besin alerjisi varlığının araştırılması amaçlanmıştır
Materyal-metod: 97 ÇH tanılı çocuk ve 95 sağlıklı çocuktan oluşan kontrol grubu çalışmaya dahil edildi. Katılımcıların yaş, cinsiyet gibi demografik bilgileri, periferik kanda eozinofil sayı ve yüzdesi, immunglobulin (Ig)-G-M-A-E ve Ig-A endomisyal antikorları (EMA), anti doku transglutaminaz (anti-tTG antikorları) sonuçları retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. ÇH grubu ve kontrol grubundaki katılımcılara süt, yumurta, buğday, pirinçle yapılan deri yama testi yapılarak sonuçları kaydedildi.
Sonuçlar: ÇH grubundaki hastaların. ortanca yaş 10.28 ± 4.8 yıl idi ve 51’i kızdı. Kontrol grubundaki 95 çocuğun 48’i kızdı ve ortanca yaş 9.2 ± 2.32 yıl idi. ÇH’da ortalama takip süresi 23.6 ± 27.67 (4-144) aydı. ÇH grubunda Ig-E, eozinofil sayısı ve yüzdesi daha fazla idi ve kontrol grubu ile arasındaki fark istatiksel olarak anlamlı idi. Süt, yumurta, buğday ve pirinçle yapılan deri yama testinde her iki grupta da reaksiyon saptanmadı.
Besin alerjisi ve ÇH’nın her ikisi de immün mekanizmalar ile gerçekleşmektedir. ÇH’da hücre aracılı besin alerjisi varlığını değerlendirmek tanı anında yapılacak deri yama ile daha çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

O objetivo do presente trabalho foi verificar se há relacionamento de longo prazo e transmissão de preços entre os mercados de commodities agropecuárias e alimentos da cesta básica. Para atingir os objetivos da pesquisa, que envolve a análise da transmissão de preços nos mercados de alimentos e commodities, inicialmente, buscou-se testar a estacionariedade das séries em estudo. Posteriormente, utilizou-se o teste de cointegração de Engle e Granger e o teste de cointegração de Johansen. Para analisar se há uma relação causal entre as séries estudadas, foi realizado o teste de causalidade de Granger. Verificou-se que existe relacionamento de longo prazo entre os preços dos alimentos e das commodities agropecuárias, de forma que as variações nos preços das commodities podem afetar os preços dos alimentos.
PROTECTION OF RIPARIAN FORESTS AND WATER QUALITY IN A BASIN IN THE ATLANTIC FOREST BIOME
Authors: Fritzsons Elenice , Mantovani Luis Eduardo
Published: May 2021

AbstractThe water quality of a drainage basin depends on the vegetation and soil of the region, land use and riparian forests, which act as a filter to protect the watercourse. For three years, we monitored several water quality parameters (turbidity, color, pH, conductivity, dissolved solids, alkalinity, and nitrate and chloride concentrations) in six adjacent microbasins to assess how riparian forests and land use affect water quality. The location is part of the Atlantic forest biome, with high-altitude humid subtropical climate and mixed ombrophilous forests. We designed a land use charter of the basin and a conflict map for fluvial permanent preservation areas. Land use included mainly natural forests, forestry, buildings, agriculture, and pastures. The multiple correlation analyses included: the water quality parameters, conflicts with permanent preservation areas, and land uses in river basins. In 51% of the basin, land uses complied with fluvial PPA legislation, but in 49% we found conflicts with other land use typologies and a lack of riparian forests. The quality of the water changed throughout the seasons and when fluvial PPAs conflicted with agriculture, buildings, and pastures. The different land uses in the basins did not influence the parameters of water quality and the same occurred with precipitation on water quality.
