Social work in the teeth of a gale: a resilient counter-discourse in neoliberal times
Authors: Hyslop Ian Kelvin
Published: March 2016

This article discusses the findings of a qualitative research project in Auckland, New Zealand, which examined the proposition that a particular form of knowledge is produced in the practice of social work. Evidence consistent with Philp’s conceptualisation of a specific knowledge form for social work emerges from analysis of the data. It is apparent that the everyday practice of social work continues to engage with the lived experience of marginalised citizens in New Zealand and similar societies. It is argued that this process of relational engagement continues to produce a discourse of equality that is consistent with the politics of social democracy. The implications of the findings of this study are discussed in relation to the future development of social work practice and education given the current dominance of a neoliberal governance paradigm that is largely hostile to the inclusive discourse that social work practice inevitably produces.

Análise exploratória de dados da condutividade elétrica nas águas do sistema aquífero Serra Geral no Rio Grande do Sul e Santa Catarina
Authors: De Freitas Marcos Alexandre de , Roisenberg Ari , Andriotti José Leonardo Silva
Published: March 2016

A técnica estatística de Análise Exploratória de Dados (AED) foi aplicada a 7.620 medidas de campo de condutividade elétrica nas águas do Sistema Aquífero Serra Geral no Rio Grande do Sul e em Santa Catarina e identificou quatro classes. Valores de condutividade elétrica superiores a 378,35 μS/cm são anômalos, enquanto o intervalo de background está compreendido entre 117,35 e 378,35 μS/cm. A avaliação hidroquímica realizada em 356 análises fisico-químicas, nas quatro classes determinadas pela análise exploratória, demonstrou uma evidente separação conforme a evolução geoquímica dessas águas. A classe dos valores mais elevados (C1), está relacionada às águas mais antigas e apresenta íntima relação com as estruturas regionais, como zonas de falhas e grandes lineamentos. Localmente há recarga ascendente, misturando águas do aquífero fraturado com as águas dos aquíferos sotopostos (Sistema Aquífero Guarani e Aquíferos Permianos). As classes C2 e C3 representam as águas típicas do Sistema Aquífero Serra Geral e sua variação deve-se, provavelmente, a diferentes tempos de residência. A classe C4, de menores valores, refere-se às águas mais jovens, que infiltraram no aquífero por recarga meteórica através do manto de alteração das rochas vulcânicas.
Perkembangan Spasial Kota-Kota Kecil Di Jawa Tengah
Authors: Prawatya Nanda Adi
Published: March 2016

Tingkat urbanisasi di Provinsi Jawa Tengah meningkat dengan melihat adanya perubahan yang terjadi pada luas penggunaan lahan pertanian yang semakin menurun khususnya di kota kecil . Dalam kurun waktu 10 tahun penggunaan lahan terbangun di Jawa Tengah meningkat sebesar 70,1 %. Selain itu dalam kurun waktu 10 tahun jaringan jalan meningkat sebesar 0,43 %. Hal ini dikarenakan daya tampung urbanisasi dan pergerakan aktivitas di kota besar sudah semakin meningkat dan tidak dapat menampung pada satu titik saja, sehingga diperlukan daerah lain dengan tujuan untuk pemerataan. Hal ini menimbulkan beberapa pertanyaan yaitu apa saja faktor pembentuk ruang perkotaan dan bagaimana perkembangan spasial kota-kota kecil di Jawa Tengah. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui tipologi kota-kota kecil di Jawa Tengah berdasarkan aspek struktur ruang, tata guna lahan dan infrastruktur. Kota-kota kecil yang berstruktur konsentris perkembangan lahan terbangunnya terbilang lambat dikarenakan hanya terdapat pusat kegiatan yang bersifat tunggal serta potensi daerah tersebut merupakan daerah rural urban yang pusat kegiatannya hanya dari sektor pertanian. Kota kecil yang berstruktur multiple nuclei perkembangan lahan terbangunnya cukup berkembang antara tingkat sedang sampai tingkat tinggi. Hal ini dikarenakan adanya beberapa pusat kegiatan di dalam kota kecil tersebut mengakibatkan tingginya perkembangan lahan terbangun. Berdasarkan pola tipologi spasial kota-kota kecil dijelaskan bahwa kota-kota kecil di pinggiran kota besar seperti Kota Surakarta, Yogyakarta, Semarang, Tegal, Magelang, Salatiga dan Pekalongan perkembangan kotanya masih memiliki ketergantungan terhadap kota induk. Jadi, perkembangan kota tidak hanya dipengaruhi oleh urbanisasi tetapi ada faktor lain yaitu seperti comparative advantages bersifat alamiah (topografi, SDA, historis) maupun buatan (jaringan infrastruktur, fasilitas sosial).

Authors: Rahayu Triani Agustina
Published: March 2016

Penggunaan ruang untuk populasi dengan konsentrasi aktivitas yang besar ada di kota-kota besar seperti wilayah metropolitan. Proses urbanisasi yang terjadi pada kota-kota tersebut berlangsung secara dinamis dan bahkan cenderung meningkat. Wilayah metropolitan paling tidak terdiri dari satu kota utama dan beberapa kota satelit. Kota-kota yang bergabung tersebut cenderung berinteraksi satu sama lain, terutama antara kota satelit dengan kota induknya. Interaksi yang terjadi sangat menarik untuk dikaji lebih dalam sehingga hal tersebut menjadi topik dari penelitian ini. Kota Demak sebagai kota satelit di Provinsi Jawa Tengah memiliki keterhubungan dengan Kota Semarang yang memiliki hirarki di atasnya. Daya tarik dari kota induk tersebut menyebabkan banyak masyarakat yang lebih tertarik beraktivitas di Kota Semarang daripada di Demak. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dan teknik analisis kuantitatif statistik deskriptif dan analisis crosstab, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan bentuk interaksi Kota Demak ke Kota Semarang. Berdasarkan hasil yang didapatkan, bentuk interaksi fisik Kota Demak ke Semarang membangun suatu ketergantungan karena keberadaan Semarang yang mempengaruhi bidang transportasi yang terhubung oleh jalur pergerakan utama Provinsi Jawa Tengah. Bentuk interaksi ekonomi juga cukup bergantung karena kebutuhan fasilitas penduduk Demak yang terpenuhi di Semarang. Bentuk interaksi sosial dapat dilihat dari terbentuknya keterikatan sosial antar populasi.

POLA ADAPTASI MASYARAKAT PESISIR GENUK KOTA SEMARANG (Patterns of Community Adaptation to Environmental Degradation in Genuk Coastal Area, Semarang)
Authors: Sariffuddin S , Wijaya Arwan Putra
Published: March 2016

Globalization brings many consequences for Indonesian urban development and the communities. Industrialization is one of them. Globalization also brings policy transformation affecting the community’s welfare and lifestyle. One of the indicators is that local values have started to fade. The similar condition also occurs in fishermen’s and fish farmers’ settlements in Semarang, which have transformed into industrial settlements in 1980s during the industrialization period. Land conversion occurred in a short time from ponds and rice fields into factories, warehouses, and new labor’s settlements. It did not take a long time for the community’s local values to transform into the new ones influenced by the welfare level of the new community. Based on the phenomena, this study aims to understand the lifestyle of the community and its influence in managing the housing environment with Genuk coastal area of Semarang City as a case. This research has three objectives: to understand the motivation to urbanization, to comprehend the neighborhoods’ conditions, and to comprehend the influence of community’s lifestyle towards the settlement condition. In achieving the objectives, the qualitative approach supported by some quantitative data is used.  The results show that there are three classes of the community influencing the environmental management. It is found that the people’s migration reasons had a big influence for the environmental management. In this case, the middle-class community is a key stakeholder to overcome the environmental problems. It becomes good initiator. On the contrary, the lower class has a less role in dealing with the environmental problems. It has even a big contribution on environmental degradation. Meanwhile, the upper class pays less attention to the environment. Only a little part of it, especially the local one, is willing to take part in the environmental management. The middle-class people consider that the problems arise due to the inappropriate planning. Unfortunately, they are not capable of dealing with the problems. On the contrary, the upper-class people consider that the issues arise from the lower class behavior that does not pay attention to the environment. As a consequence, the upper-class community is not willing to address the problems.
PID control of FOPDT plants with dominant dead time based on the modulus optimum criterion
Authors: Cvejn Jan
Published: March 2016

The modulus optimum (MO) criterion can be used for analytical design of the PID controller for linear systems with dominant dead time. However, although the method usually gives fast and non-oscillating closed-loop responses, in the case of large dead time the stability margin gets reduced and even non-stable behavior can be observed. In this case a correction of the settings is needed to preserve the stability margin. We describe and compare two methods of design of the PID controller based on the MO criterion that for the stable first-order systems with dead time preserve the stability margin, trying to keep maximum of the performance of the original MO settings.

Sex determination from femora in late antique sample from Eastern Adriatic coast (Salona necropolis)
Authors: Jerković Ivan , Bašić Željana , Kružić Ivana , Anđelinović Šimun
Published: March 2016

The determination of sex is one of the first steps in anthropological analysis. When skeletal remains are fragmented, the most useful approach is application of osteometric methods. The methods are population specific, and therefore require development of discriminant functions for each population group.

The aim of this study was to test sexual dimorphism of femoral measurements and to calculate discriminant functions applicable for sex determination on fragmented skeletal remains on the late antique sample from the Eastern Adriatic coast (2nd–6th century AD).

214 randomly chosen skeletons from the excavation site Solin-Smiljanovac were analyzed. Sex and age were assessed using standard anthropological methods, and skeletons were examined for pathologic and traumatic changes. In the next step, we selected 27 female and 48 male skeletons free of peri- or post-mortem changes that could affect measurements Eight standard femoral measurements were taken. Sexual dimorphism was initially compared using independent sample t test, after which discriminant functions were computed.

All femoral measurements showed statistically significant sexual dimorphism (p<0.001). Ten discriminant functions for every part of femur were calculated and obtained classification accuracy of 73.1–91.8%.

This study reached relatively high classification, which will improve further analysis of the skeletal remainsn from the Salona necropolis. Due to similar population structure in the Roman period across the Adriatic coast, the discriminant functions could be applicable for all populations from the same period and area. This study also raised a few methodological questions showing that when creating discriminant functions we should consider not only the accuracy, but also the applicability based on the experience from the anthropology laboratory that considers the state of preservation and frequent pathology.
Evidence of interpersonal violence or a special funeral rite in the Neolithic multiple burial from Koszyce in southern Poland – a forensic analysis
Authors: Konopka Tomasz , Szczepanek Anita , Przybyła Marcin M. , Włodarczak Piotr
Published: March 2016

This study uses anthropological and forensic medical analyses to determine the cause of fractures found in the remains of 15 individuals buried at a site associated with the Globular Amphora Culture (2875-2670 BC). The intent was to determine the mechanism underlying the injuries and to indicate the types of tools that might have inflicted the blows. The fractures were diversified in their forms, but the majority of the injuries appear to have been inflicted by a flint axe, which is frequently found in graves of the Globular Amphora Culture. Apart from the forearm being severed in one of the victims, all the remaining skeletons showed from 1 to 4 injuries involving solely the skulls. The grave might contain victims attacked by invaders who executed the captives, or else the feature is ritual in character and it reflects the beliefs of the Neolithic community.
Perceptions of Forest Owners and the General Public on the Role of Forests in Slovakia
Authors: Dobsinska Zuzana , Sarvasova Zuzana
Published: March 2016

During the past decades, the awareness of environmental issues in forest management is increasing due to changes in environmental education. The perceptions of forests, sustainable management, and ecosystem services were studied through two surveys. The general public and forest owners were the two target groups. The questionnaires had similar questions, though two different methodological approaches were used - the CATI system, for general public opinion survey, and semi-structured questionnaires for forest owners. The second survey contained more detailed questions regarding forest properties. Combined answers from 1503 respondents from the general public and 150 forest owners were evaluated on the following topics: sustainable forestry, major ecosystem services, and perceptions of forests. The majority of the Slovakian public regards ecological values as the most important element, whereas forest owners prefer the economic purposes for the maintenance and enhancement of forests. Forest owners tend to visit their forests once per week, whereas the general public tend to visit only once per month. The main cause for this non-attendance in the general public was a lack of recreational time, followed by a disinterest in forests. The main purpose for visiting forests for both groups was recreation. Overall, it can be concluded that people are mostly satisfied with forest management in Slovakia. Forest owners are satisfied with their forest properties, and plan to keep them for their children. In the future, more attention should be focused on investigating the younger generation’s perception of forests.
Natural Resource Enterprises: Payments to Landowners for Ecosystem Services from Forests and their Management in the United States of America (U.S.)
Authors: Jones Walter Daryl
Published: March 2016

Mississippi landowners were found to diversify incomes from forests through fee-access outdoor recreation, including hunting, angling, wildlife watching, and other nature-based activities (Jones et al. 2005). The Natural Resource Enterprises (NRE) Program at Mississippi State University educates private landowners, resource agencies, and local communities about recreational enterprises, conservation, and integration of these activities with sustainable forestry through educational workshops. Since 2005, the NRE Program has organized and conducted over 75 landowner workshops in 11 U.S. states and Sweden and trained in excess of 4,000 participants in outdoor recreational business development and associated conservation practices. Survey results revealed that our programming has initiated over 1,000 new outdoor recreational businesses on an estimated 1.2 million hectares of forest and agricultural lands, generating over $14 million in incomes while fostering natural resource conservation on family farms in the U.S. NRE development on rural lands benefits landowners and local communities through promoting payments for ecosystem services supported by sustainable forests.
Development and Possibilities for Close-to-Nature Forest Resource Management in Hungary
Authors: Lett Béla , Gál János , Stark Magdolna , Frank Norbert
Published: March 2016

Legal regulations of the activities of forest managers were fundamentally changed by the legislature of the past decade, and little is known about the actual change in forest management practices. Based on the data collected by the State Forest Service, this study investigates the changes of the past 15 years and presents the influencing factors, primarily the species and sectorial characteristics and differences

In the study both the area of final cuts and regenerations are presented by modes, sectors and species. The main factors influencing forest resource management are site (which can be modified by climate change) and the corresponding species or stand type. Based on these possibilities, close-tonature forest management can be evaluated on a more realistic basis. The sum and average values for the whole country are too general; the country consists of sectors with different forest resource management properties.
Dynamic Viscosity and Activation Energy of Wort During Fermentation and Storing
Authors: Hlaváč Peter , Božiková Monika , Cviklovič Vladimír
Published: March 2016

This paper presents the results of wort dynamic viscosity and activation energy during fermentation. The effect of temperature and storing time on both parameters was investigated. Measurements were performed on two wort samples. The first sample was taken at the beginning of fermentation, and the second sample after three hours of fermentation. Both samples were also measured after three weeks of storing. Dynamic viscosity measurements were performed with a digital rotational viscometer Anton Paar DV-3P, the principle of which is based on the dependency of sample resistance to probe rotation. Results of measurements are shown as graphical dependencies of both analysed parameters on temperature. The temperature dependence of dynamic viscosity can be characterised by a decreasing exponential function, while in case of activation energy linear increasing characters were obtained. Longer fermentation and storing period caused a decrease in both analysed parameters, due to the structural changes in wort samples during fermentation and storing.
Experimental study on the detection of rabbit intracranial hemorrhage using four coil structures based on magnetic induction phase shift
Authors: Yan Qingguang , Jin Gui , Qin Mingxin , Zhao Jun , Wang Jian , Sun Jian
Published: March 2016

Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is the bleeding induced by parenchyma vascular rupture. In this paper, four novel coils (a contralateral hemisphere cancellation coil, a coaxial coil, a double-end exciting coil, and a Helmholtz coil) were developed to detect the volume change of ICH with the magnetic induction phase shift (MIPS) technique. Both numerical studies on an ICH model and animal experiments on rabbits’ hemorrhage model were performed with four coils. Twenty rabbits were measured for each coil. The animal results were consistent with the simulation and the theoretical analysis for each coil. The MIPS first declined and then increased with increasing injection volume, indicating the existence of a turning point. The MRI images showed that the average CSF decreased in the heads of five rabbits after blood injection was approximately equal to the average injection volume corresponding to the turning point of all animals. Thus, we concluded that when the MIPS turning point occurs, the CSF is already exhausted and the compensatory stage has ended. The results show that the MIPS technique has the potential to detect ICH growth and MIPS changes with increasing blood in a regular way. The turning point is expected to provide an early warning for ICH growth.

Published: March 2016

There are large numbers of paper cultural relics in China, the country where paper making was invented. However, the paper relics have not been adequately protected so they are at risk of ageing, damage and disappearance. In order to better protect the paper relics, modified carboxymethyl cellulose/Si/polyacrylate protective materials were prepared with acrylicresin and modified carboxymethyl cellulose which has a good affinity with the paper and modified silica, improving the mechanical strength and ability to withstand weathering. The modified CMC/Si/polyacrylate protective material was analysed using infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and other performance-testing devices. The surface morphology of the paper samples was analysed using scanning electron microscopy. The protective material so prepared was evaluated by subjection to accelerated ageing (dry heat treatment). The results showed the protective material films to have good hydrophobicity, acid/alkali resistance and mechanical strength. When the content of SiO
Écrire la guerre civile algérienne : la mise en place d’un nouveau pacte de lecture dans Le Serment des barbares de Boualem Sansal

Published: March 2016

During the Black Decade, Algerian French speaking writers were confronted with several issues in the way their novels were received. The meaning of these novels has often been misrepresented. Boualem Sansal, whose first novel was published in 1999, develops original generic and enunciative strategies to bypass the obstacles that he noticed during these troubled years. He lays the foundations for a new deal with his readers, based on ethics and responsibility. The author aims to show that the denunciation of violence and its root causes can only make a significant impact if the reader is involved as an active partner.
Phosphates Adsorption from Water by Recycled Concrete / Adsorpce Fosforečnanů Z Vody Recyklovaným Betonem
Authors: Buriánek Pavel , Skalický Michal , Grünwald Alexander
Published: March 2016

It was only very recently that recycled concrete has also started to be used in water management primarily as a sorbent or reagent. Important factors influencing its use include mainly its origin, chemical, physical and mechanical characteristics. Adsorption kinetics was measured experimentally (Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm); and efficiency, values of adsorption capacity and changes of water chemical reactions due to added recycled concrete were found. Phosphates were removed either from standard solutions or from surface water.
Counterstatement to Article Entitled "A Framework for Evaluation of Marine Spatial Data Geoportals Using Case Studies"
Authors: Seip Christian
Published: March 2016

In December 2014 in volume 60 issue 4 a paper was published entitled “A Framework for Evaluation of Marine Spatial Data Geoportals Using Case Studies” by Marina Tavra, Vlado Cetl and Tea Duplancic Leder which is suspected to constitute academic misconduct. This comment reasons that the core of the paper was taken from another source and thus does not offer new and original scientific work and therefore does not add knowledge to the body of science. Furthermore it argues that apart from the plagiarism the paper shows major weaknesses and thus should have not been published even it was not plagiarized.

Wastes are the most frequent "by-product" of human society. The Czech Republic still has a considerable room for energy reduction and material intensiveness of production in connection with the application of scientific and technical expertise in the context of innovation cycles. Pyrolysis waste treatment is a promising alternative to the production of renewable hydrogen as a clean fuel. It can also reduce the environmental burden and the amount of waste in the environment at the same time.

This paper presents the laboratory pyrolysis experiments of peanuts crisps waste to the final temperature of 800 °C. After the pyrolysis process of the selected waste a mass balance of the resulting products, off-line analysis of the pyrolysis gas and evaluation of solid residue in terms of adsorption properties and energy production and liquid products were carried out. The highest concentration of measured hydrogen (66 vol. %) was analysed during the 4th gas sampling at the temperature varying from 750 to 800 °C.

This study aimed to verify preferences for microhabitat by the monogeneans on the gills of the south american catfish,Rhamdia quelen(Quoy & Gaimard, 1824), at different stocking densities under controlled laboratory conditions. Three stocking densities were used: 14, 28 and 42 fish per tank (50 L) and the fish were sampled initially, at day 5 and 10 of the experiment.Aphanoblastella mastigatus(Suriano, 1986) was noted as the most abundant species at all stocking densities, except for the initial collection day. The gill arches I and II were the most parasitized, showing the highest mean abundance in the dorsal region, at the highest density. The pattern of microhabitat preference ofA. mastigatusfor outer regions of the gills of the host was independent of the stocking density and collection day. Higher prevalence and abundance ofScleroductussp. at the initial collection reflected the parasitic infection of the fish at the farm from where the fish were taken. The abundance ofScleroductussp. decreased along the experiment, and no preference for gill arches was recorded for the species, probably due to the low abundance of this parasite on the gills.
Nematodes from Achatina fulica Bowdich, 1822 (Mollusca: Gastropoda) in Argentina

The aim of this study is to describe the nematode cysts and larvae found in Achatina fulica, the giant African snail, in the northeast of Argentina. A total of 373 snails were collected from the cities of Puerto Iguazú and Corrientes. Cysts (N= 2958) containing nematodes identified as L3 Strongyluris sp. were found in the mantle cavity of 87 snails from Puerto Iguazú City (Prevalence 23 %; Mean Intensity= 34; Mean Abundance= 8). The shell size correlated with prevalence, mean intensity and mean abundance (p < 0.05) indicating that there is an exposure-infection constant rather than an accidental one. In other hand, the absence of infection in the smallest shell size suggests a threshold of size to be infected. Taking into account that there exist records of A. fulica infected by nematodes of medical and veterinary importance such as Angiostrongylus and Aelurostrongylus in some Brazilian states near Puerto Iguazú, we emphasize the need for snail surveillance.

Published: March 2016

Equilibrium moisture content (EMC), mechanical properties, and durability of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) sapwood modified by vinyl acetate epoxidized linseed oil (WVA-ELO) have been studied. Microscopic observations revealed that the impregnated copolymer is mainly in cell walls, rays, resin canals, and a small fraction in the cell lumens. Under the same climate conditioning, the EMC of the treated wood was in the range of 6.0%–8.2%, which was significantly lower than that of untreated wood (about 12%). Mechanical tests performed on paired samples (control and treated) showed a slight reduction on the mechanical properties of WVA-ELO. The decay resistance against basidiomycete fungi of WVA-ELO was significantly improved as demonstrated by laboratory tests. It was found that 8% weight percentage gain (WPG) was sufficient to ensure decay resistance against the test fungi with <5% mass loss (ML), which led to durability class (DC) of 2.
On the Use of Conventional Dough Extension Tests in Characterising Flours for Dough Sheetability. II. Simulations
Authors: Patel Milan J. , Chakrabarti-Bell Sumana
Published: March 2016

Dough extension tests are used in industry to rate flours for dough processability. The results impact flour selection for product use. Previously, it was shown that dough extension data correlated poorly with dough sheetability irrespective of whether doughs were tested fresh or rested. It was noted that sample shapes varied between specimens of flours. To understand how sample shape affects extensigraph tests, a finite element (FE) simulation-based approach was taken. Real extensigraph samples were drawn on a computer equipped with the commercial FE package ABAQUS and using the anisotropic Bergstrom Boyce model with Mullins damage (ABBM) constitutive model to describe the dough’s rheology. Results show that the force–extension traces were affected by sample shape, and that thinning occurs more from the sides than the bulk for slumped samples. The FE predictions for sample shape effects on hook force were validated against real tests. Similar dependencies on sample shape are also predicted for the alveograph and Kieffer micro-extensigraph tests.
Rapid Mapping Method Based on Free Blocks of Surveys

Published: March 2016

While producing large-scale larger than 1:2000 maps in cities or towns, the obstruction from buildings leads to difficult and heavy tasks of measuring mapping control points. In order to avoid measuring the mapping control points and shorten the time of fieldwork, in this paper, a quick mapping method is proposed. This method adjusts many free blocks of surveys together, and transforms the points from all free blocks of surveys into the same coordinate system. The entire surveying area is divided into many free blocks, and connection points are set on the boundaries between free blocks. An independent coordinate system of every free block is established via completely free station technology, and the coordinates of the connection points, detail points and control points in every free block in the corresponding independent coordinate systems are obtained based on poly-directional open traverses. Error equations are established based on connection points, which are determined together to obtain the transformation parameters. All points are transformed from the independent coordinate systems to a transitional coordinate system via the transformation parameters. Several control points are then measured by GPS in a geodetic coordinate system. All the points can then be transformed from the transitional coordinate system to the geodetic coordinate system. In this paper, the implementation process and mathematical formulas of the new method are presented in detail, and the formula to estimate the precision of surveys is given. An example has demonstrated that the precision of using the new method could meet large-scale mapping needs.
