Nagle Zera, J, Nagle, EF, Nagai, T, Lovalekar, M, Abt, JP, and Lephart, SM. Tethered swimming test: reliability and the association with swimming performance and land-based anaerobic performance. J Strength Cond Res 35(1): 212–220, 2021—The purpose of this study was 3-fold: (a) to examine the test-retest reliability of a 30-second maximal tethered freestyle swimming test (TST), (b) to assess the validity of the TST by examining the association with sprint swimming performance, and (c) to examine the associations between a swim-specific and land-based measure of anaerobic performance. A total of 29 male and female swimmers were recruited to participate in the study. Each subject completed a Wingate Anaerobic cycling test (WAnT), 2 or 4 TST, and a 22.9 m (25 yd), 45.7 m (50 yd), and 91.4 m (100 yd) maximal freestyle performance swims (PS). Mean and peak force (F
mean and F
peak) were recorded for both the WAnT and TST, and average swimming velocity and time were recorded for the PS. In addition, physiological and perceptual measures were recorded immediately postexercise for all tests. The results of the present investigation showed strong intersession and intrasession reliability (R = 0.821–0.975; p < 0.001) for force parameters of the TST. Moderate correlations were found between F
mean and PS time and velocity of all distances, with slightly weaker correlations between F
peak and the 22.9 m (time and velocity) and 45.7 m (velocity) PS. Finally, moderate correlations were found for F
mean and F
peak of the TST and WAnT. This study demonstrated that the TST is a reliable measure, with moderate association with swimming performance, producing similar physiological responses compared with free swimming. Therefore, future research should focus on investigating the potential benefits of using the TST as a regular assessment tool as a part of a competitive swimming training program to track adaptations and inform training decisions.

Steeves, D and Campagna, P. The relationship between maximal aerobic power and recovery in elite ice hockey players during a simulated game. J Strength Cond Res 33(9): 2503–2512, 2019—This project investigated whether there was a relationship between maximal aerobic power and the recovery or performance in elite ice hockey players during a simulated hockey game. An on-ice protocol was used to simulate a game of ice hockey. Recovery values were determined by the differences in lactate and heart rate measures. Total distance traveled was also recorded as a performance measure. On 2 other days, subjects returned and completed a maximal aerobic power test on a treadmill and a maximal lactate test on ice. Statistical analysis showed no relationship between maximal aerobic power or maximal lactate values and recovery (heart rate, lactate) or the performance measure of distance traveled. It was concluded that there was no relationship between maximal aerobic power and recovery during a simulated game in elite hockey players.

Nagata, A, Doma, K, Yamashita, D, Hasegawa, H, and Mori, S. The effect of augmented feedback type and frequency on velocity-based training-induced adaptation and retention. J Strength Cond Res 34(11): 3110–3117, 2020—The purpose of this study was to compare the benefits of 4 weeks of velocity-based training (VBT) using different augmented feedback (AugFb) types and the frequency of AugFb, and whether adaptations are retained 10 days post-training. Thirty-seven collegiate male rugby players were divided into groups that received immediate feedback (ImFb; n = 9), visual feedback (ViFb; n = 10), average feedback (AvgFb; n = 10) and no feedback (NoFb; n = 8) during each VBT session consisting of 3 sets of 5 repetitions of loaded jump squats. The ImFb group received AugFb regarding lifting velocity under loaded jump squats (LV-JS) after every jump, whereas LV-JS measures were averaged after each set of jumps and presented to the AvgFb group. The LV-JS were video-recorded and displayed as kinematic feedback for the ViFb group after each set, although NoFb was provided for the NoFb group. Loaded jump squats measures were reported at baseline, during each training session and 10 days post-training. Loaded jump squats measures were significantly greater for the ImFb Group compared with the other groups during a number of post-baseline time points (p ≤ 0.05). Furthermore, at 4 weeks of VBT and 10 days post-retention, effect size (ES) calculations showed that LV-JS measures were greater with moderate to large effects for the ImFb group compared with the NoFb (ES = 1.02–1.25), AvgFb (ES = 0.78–0.82) and ViFb (ES = 0.74–1.60), respectively. However, LV-JS measures were reduced with moderate to large effects 10 days post-retention for the ViFb (ES = −0.60) and NoFb (ES = −0.85) groups. Providing LV-JS feedback after each jump appears to optimize performance and should be considered as a training tool during VBT.
Determining the Optimum Content and Stirring Time of Emerging Dry Polymer for Asphalt Using Rotational Viscometer, Dynamic Shear Rheometer, and Atomic Force Microscopy
Authors: Bozorgzad Ashkan , Kim Yongjoo , Lee Hosin “David”
Published: February 2018

During the past decades, styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) triblock copolymer has been used to produce Polymer-Modified Asphalt (PMA) to make asphalt pavements more resistant to both rutting at a high temperature and cracking at a low temperature. However, the process of adding SBS copolymer to asphalt requires additional equipment such as high-shear mixing equipment, and the produced PMA is required to be stored in a separate tank. To overcome these limitations associated with the production handling, the pelletized SBS-based compound was developed. It can be added to the pugmill using a dry process together with asphalt and aggregates at the asphalt plant. The main objective of this study is to identify the proper melting time for the pelletized SBS-based compound in asphalt and to determine the optimum amount of the pelletized SBS-based compound. In this study, to characterize the pelletized SBS-based compound, atomic force microscopy (AFM), a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR), and a rotational viscometer (RV) were used. Based on the laboratory test results, optimum quantity and mixing time of pelletized SBS-based compound were identified.

Published: February 2018

Sleep spindles are a cardinal feature in human NREM sleep and may be important for memory consolidation. We studied the intracortical organization of spindles in men and women by recording spontaneous sleep spindles from different cortical layers using linear microelectrode arrays. Two patterns of spindle generation were identified using visual inspection, and confirmed with factor analysis. Spindles (10–16 Hz) were largest and most common in upper and middle channels, with limited involvement of deep channels. Many spindles were observed in only upper or only middle channels, but approximately half occurred in both. In spindles involving both middle and upper channels, the spindle envelope onset in middle channels led upper by ∼25–50 ms on average. The phase relationship between spindle waves in upper and middle channels varied dynamically within spindle epochs, and across individuals. Current source density analysis demonstrated that upper and middle channel spindles were both generated by an excitatory supragranular current sink while an additional deep source was present for middle channel spindles only. Only middle channel spindles were accompanied by deep low (25–50 Hz) and high (70–170 Hz) gamma activity. These results suggest that upper channel spindles are generated by supragranular pyramids, and middle channel by infragranular. Possibly, middle channel spindles are generated by core thalamocortical afferents, and upper channel by matrix. The concurrence of these patterns could reflect engagement of cortical circuits in the integration of more focal (core) and distributed (matrix) aspects of memory. These results demonstrate that at least two distinct intracortical systems generate human sleep spindles.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTBursts of ∼14 Hz oscillations, lasting ∼1 s, have been recognized for over 80 years as cardinal features of mammalian sleep. Recent findings suggest that they play a key role in organizing cortical activity during memory consolidation. We used linear microelectrode arrays to study their intracortical organization in humans. We found that spindles could be divided into two types. One mainly engages upper layers of the cortex, which are considered to be specialized for associative activity. The other engages both upper and middle layers, including those devoted to sensory input. The interaction of these two spindle types may help organize the interaction of sensory and associative aspects of memory consolidation.
Of Digital Images and Digital Media
Authors: Karapanagiotis Nicole
Published: February 2018

This article is a theoretical and ethnographic investigation of the role of marketing and branding within the contemporary ISKCON movement in the United States. In it, I examine the digital marketing enterprises of two prominent ISKCON temples: ISKCON of New Jersey and ISKCON of D.C. I argue that by attending to the vastly different ways in which these temples present and portray ISKCON online—including the markedly different media imagery by which they aim to draw the attention of the public—we can learn about an ideological divide concerning marketing within American ISKCON. This divide, I argue, highlights different ideas regarding how potential newcomers become attracted to ISKCON. It also illuminates an unexplored facet of the heterogeneity of American ISKCON, principally in terms of the movement’s public face.

Bringing upcoming technologies to a service life: Assessing required provider and customer capabilities
Authors: Leyer Michael , Tate Mary , Kowalkiewicz Marek , Rosemann Michael
Published: February 2018

New technologies such as blockchain are predicted to enable new service offers and ways to conduct service operations. While the technological possibilities have been explored intensively, the adoption rate among many service companies is still slow based on current technology adoption observations. An important reason for the slow adoption is missing capabilities among service companies and customers. We develop a theoretical framework that is embedded within the customer-dominant logic and recognises that many technology-based services also require specific competencies from customers in order to use them effectively. The framework explains which organisational capabilities are required to successfully explore and exploit new technologies, and also includes the capabilities required of customers to effectively use the new services. The paper aims at making a theoretically-grounded and practical contribution to understanding of which capabilities are required to allow organisations to explore and exploit new technologies.

Published: February 2018

The aim of this study was to synthesize structured lipid from hazelnut oil with conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) by lipase-catalyzed esterification reaction. The incorporation of CLA into hazelnut oil was optimized by response surface methodology (RSM). Substrate molar ratio, time, and temperature were independent variables chosen for optimization of the reaction. Substrate molar ratio was the most significant variable on the incorporation of conjugated linoleic acid. Good quadratic model was achieved by multiple regression analysis and backward elimination. Optimal incorporation conditions were determined as follows: reaction temperature, 59 °C; time, 6 hours; substrate molar ratio, 4. Under these optimum conditions, a maximum incorporation ratio of CLA into hazelnut oil of 49.42% was achieved.

Authors: Balcerzak M. , Rudnik A. , Jelińska M.
Published: February 2018

Bread is one of basic human dietary items. Bread products commercially available usually contain flour, water, yeast or sourdough, and numerous functional additives, among them inorganic chlorides (mainly NaCl), phosphates, and sulphates, modifying physicochemical properties of final products to be attractive for consumers. Various kinds (whole-wheat, rye, and wheat rye) of Polish commercial breads were examined for contents of chlorides, phosphates, and sulphates by combination of water extraction and ion chromatography with conductometric detection. The evaluated amounts of the analytes corresponded to 0.58–1.06 g of chlorides (1–1.8 g NaCl), 100–300 mg of phosphates, and 10–130 mg of sulphates in 100 g (ca. two slices) of bread, which means that bread can be an important source of inorganic ions for humans, in particular in case of high consumption.
Impact of drying method on antioxidant, anti-diabetic, and anti-proliferation activities of Cirsium setidens in vitro
Authors: Guo H.F. , Wang M.H.
Published: February 2018

This study investigated the influences of drying method (oven-, freeze-, and shade-drying) and extraction solvent (ethanol and water) on the bioactivities of Cirsium setidens. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH radical scavenging ability, anti-diabetic activity was determined by the inhibitory activity of two enzymes: α-glucosidase and α-amylase, while anti-proliferation activity was assessed by MTT assay of three human cancer cell lines (KB, A549, and PC-3). Results indicated that bioactivities were extremely affected by solvent; water extracts contained more phenolics, exhibited strong anti-diabetic effect, but no activity of anti-proliferation, while the ethanolic extracts rich in flavonoids showed profound DPPH radical scavenging and anti-proliferation ability, yet low activity of antidiabetes. Among the drying methods, freeze-drying extracts preserved more flavonoids and exhibited better activity of anti-proliferation, while shade-drying extracts contained higher phenolics and showed stronger activity on antidiabetes, oven-drying gave the lowest content of phenolics. Hence, antioxidant and anti-diabetic effects were positively related to phenolic content, meanwhile an extremely significant correlation coefficient had been found between anti-proliferation activity and flavonoid content, it can be concluded that drying method and extraction solvent affect bioactivities by phenolic and flavonoid contents.
QUESTÃO AGRÁRIA E EDUCAÇÃO DO CAMPO: CONTROVÉRSIAS E PERSPECTIVAS
Authors: Azevedo Márcio Adriano , Azevedo Igor Rasec Batista
Published: February 2018

Objetiva analisar as controvérsias e perspectivas acerca da questão agrária no Brasil. Foram utilizados procedimentos teórico-metodológicos da revisão de literatura e da análise documental. Percebe-se que o Brasil tem suas raízes históricas, políticas, econômicas e culturais marcadas pela dimensão e questão agrária, sendo possível identificar diferentes momentos, quais sejam do período de transição da Monarquia à República, do Estado oligárquico ao populista, deste último ao militar, durante a crise do militarismo e nos movimentos e partidos que desde o final dos anos de 1970, vêm lutando para que o Estado formule e implemente políticas públicas de natureza agrária que desenvolvam ações socialmente referenciadas. Conclue-se que as orientações políticas acerca da educação rural vêm mostrando a necessidade de se melhorar a qualidade social da educação nos países Latino-Americanos, onde os índices de pobreza ainda são elevados e a questão do acesso educacional ainda continua pendente. Em meio às controvérsias, percebe-se que a partir dos anos de 1980 o movimento social e sindical do campo foi se fortalecendo em sua capacidade de luta e de organização político-ideológica, acentuando-se em 1990, quando se desencadearam discussões e proposições acerca da educação para os camponeses e trabalhadores rurais. Considerada uma conquista histórica, a política de educação do campo se tornou oficialmente pública e governamental em 2002, por meio da aprovação das Diretrizes Operacionais para a Educação Básica nas Escolas do Campo.
DESPERDÍCIO DE ALIMENTOS EM UNIDADES DE ALIMENTAÇÃO E NUTRIÇÃO: UMA REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA DA LITERATURA
Authors: Busato Maria Assunta , Ferigollo Maira Cristina
Published: February 2018

Um terço dos alimentos produzidos no mundo é desperdiçado a cada ano, e ainda não há consciência social sobre a grande quantidade de resíduos orgânicos gerados e que poderiam ser aproveitados. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar o que dispõe a literatura brasileira sobre as sobras e resto-ingesta em Unidade de Alimentação e Nutrição (UAN) relativa ao período de 2003 a 2014. O estudo utiliza como método a revisão integrativa da literatura. As estratégias de busca foram realizadas com Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS), os quais foram cruzados na Língua Portuguesa, na BVS: “Desperdício de alimentos”, e os termos “resto-ingesta”, “UAN”, “Nutrição” e “Sobra”. A coleta de dados ocorreu durante o mês de junho de 2015. Foram encontrados 49 estudos, dos quais 42 foram repetidos em mais de um local e um estudo era revisão sistemática. Assim, 6 publicações que abordavam o tema proposto foram selecionadas. Os artigos foram sistematizados em duas categorias: “sobras de alimentos” e “resto-ingesta”. Concluiu-se que o controle de sobras e resto-ingesta para se tornar efetivo deve ter o planejamento diário da quantidade das preparações, com base no número de refeições servidas na UAN, a fim de evitar excessos de produção, a capacitação dos funcionários para padronização de receitas e seguimento de fichas técnicas, garantir que as preparações sejam disponibilizadas em vasilhames e utensílios adequados, além de utilizar pesquisa de satisfação do cliente para conhecer as preferências. Verificou-se que a falta de conscientização e capacitação dos colaboradores envolvidos no processo pode resultar em prejuízo para o estabelecimento. Estudos buscaram identificar estratégias para redução do desperdício através da realização contínua de campanhas para conscientização dos clientes.

Published: February 2018

Objetivo. Revisar a literatura a respeito do impacto do Programa Bolsa Família (PBF) sobre a mortalidade infantil no Brasil. Métodos. Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa para responder ao objetivo proposto. Foram consultadas as bases de dados Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) e PubMed além das bibliotecas eletrônicas Portal de Periódicos CAPES/MEC, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) e Revisões Sistemáticas da Colaboração Cochrane (Cochrane), durante o período de junho a agosto de 2014. As seguintes etapas foram realizadas: identificação do problema de revisão, formulação da questão norteadora, seleção da amostra, categorização e análise dos dados, discussão dos resultados e síntese do conhecimento. Resultados. Foram identificados 1527 artigos. Após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, 3 artigos integraram o estudo. Os estudos selecionados enfatizam que o PBF contribuiu de forma positiva e substancial para a queda das Taxas de Mortalidade Infantil no Brasil. Entretanto, alertam para a importância dos efeitos combinados do PBF junto ao Estratégia Saúde da Família. Conclusões. O PBF contribuiu com decréscimos relevantes nos níveis da mortalidade infantil. Para a manutenção desta redução faz-se necessário intervenções governamentais que minimizem as disparidades de renda experimentada por grande parte do povo brasileiro, e que os gestores disponibilizem meios para cumprimento de maneira adequada das condicionalidades impostas aos beneficiários do programa.
EDUCAÇÃO EMPREENDEDORA NO ENSINO PROFISSIONAL: DESAFIOS E EXPERIÊNCIAS NUMA INSTITUIÇÃO DE ENSINO
Authors: Gomes Danilo Cortez , Silva Luciano Alexandre de Farias
Published: February 2018

A educação empreendedora é uma ferramenta importante a ser disseminada entre as instituições de ensino, especialmente aquelas que atuam na educação profissional. Assim, o objetivo desse estudo foi diagnosticar e analisar a percepção dos alunos em relação às suas experiências nesta instituição, dentre estas, com a disciplina Gestão Organizacional. O empreendedorismo jovem no sentido amplo, em que exemplos práticos e ferramentas úteis são apresentados e utilizados pelos alunos, apresenta-se como forma de inclusão de jovens no mercado de trabalho e em contrapartida é fator preponderante para promoção do desenvolvimento socioeconômico brasileiro (LIMA-FILHO, SPROESSER e MARTINS, 2009; BULGACOV, 2010). Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa de natureza exploratória e descritiva utilizou um questionário com perguntas abertas e fechadas para a coleta de dados, seguido por uma análise quantitativa e qualitativa. Os questionários foram aplicados junto aos alunos dos cursos técnico integrado em alimentos e informática (nível médio – turmas concluintes do 4º ano) nos anos de 2012, 2013 e 2014 do IFRN – Campus Currais Novos, que cursaram a disciplina Gestão Organizacional, totalizando 215 alunos que compuseram o universo pesquisado. Os resultados indicaram que a experiência na instituição, bem como com a didática utilizada na disciplina, foram positivas.
Avanços e desafios na atenção à saúde de pessoas com deficiência na atenção primária no Brasil: uma revisão integrativa
Authors: Amorim Érico Gurgel , Liberali Rafaela , Medeiros Neta Olivia Morais
Published: February 2018

Trata-se de um estudo de revisão integrativa de literatura que objetivou descrever e analisar os fatores facilitadores e dificultadores para a atenção integral à saúde da pessoa com deficiência na atenção primária no Brasil, no período de 2006 a 2016. Pesquisou-se nas bases de dados Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) e Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO). Foram selecionados e submetidos à análise temática 30 estudos. As categorias que emergiram foram: O cuidado integral à saúde da pessoa com deficiência; Capacitação profissional para atuação junto à pessoa com deficiência e Acessibilidade aos serviços na atenção primária. A análise permitiu verificar que apesar de alguns avanços conquistados na garantia da saúde à pessoa com deficiência, ainda são escassas as ações de seu cuidado e reabilitação na atenção primária. Além disso, as práticas profissionais ainda carecem de qualificação e capacitação para o cuidado integral pretendido e a falta de acessibilidade física e atitudinal nas unidades básicas de saúde perpetuam um ciclo de iniquidades historicamente construído. Conclui-se que para a inclusão das pessoas com deficiência se tornar uma realidade, é fundamental enfrentar o desafio ético, político e conjuntural da garantia da efetividade de seus direitos legalmente constituídos, articulando deste modo uma sociedade mais justa e humana na criação de novas formas de vida no encontro com o outro.

Dragload of pile groups in consolidating non-Darcian clays
Authors: Mishra Anumita , Patra Nihar Ranjan
Published: February 2018

In the present study, the behaviour of pile groups with flexible cap in consolidating non-Darcian soil is investigated in terms of dragloads and downdrag. The effective stresses and the settlements are computed at different depths of the soil layers using a non-linear, one-dimensional consolidation equation for variable permeability and the non-Darcian condition. The relationship between displacements and shear stresses at the pile–soil interface and at the pile tip are modelled using a hyperbolic function. The proposed model is validated with the reported experimental results. The effects of pile spacing, slenderness ratio, soil modulus, pile modulus and the effects of non-Darcian parameters (α and n) on the developed dragload and downdrag have been studied for line pile groups (3 × 1), square pile groups (2 × 2, 3 × 3 and 5 × 5) and rectangular pile groups (3 × 2). It is observed that the central pile of a 5 × 5 pile group mobilises only about 30–45% of dragload as compared to the single piles during 1 year to 10 years of consolidation. In a 2 × 2 pile group, only 20–30% of ultimate pile settlement is attained after 5 years of consolidation owing to the non-Darcian condition, in comparison to 90% of ultimate settlement for the Darcian flow condition.

Human kidney function is underpinned by approximately 1,000,000 nephrons, although the number varies substantially, and low nephron number is linked to disease. Human kidney development initiates around 4 weeks of gestation and ends around 34–37 weeks of gestation. Over this period, a reiterative inductive process establishes the nephron complement. Studies have provided insightful anatomic descriptions of human kidney development, but the limited histologic views are not readily accessible to a broad audience. In this first paper in a series providing comprehensive insight into human kidney formation, we examined human kidney development in 135 anonymously donated human kidney specimens. We documented kidney development at a macroscopic and cellular level through histologic analysis, RNA in situ hybridization, immunofluorescence studies, and transcriptional profiling, contrasting human development (4–23 weeks) with mouse development at selected stages (embryonic day 15.5 and postnatal day 2). The high-resolution histologic interactive atlas of human kidney organogenesis generated can be viewed at the GUDMAP database (www.gudmap.org) together with three-dimensional reconstructions of key components of the data herein. At the anatomic level, human and mouse kidney development differ in timing, scale, and global features such as lobe formation and progenitor niche organization. The data also highlight differences in molecular and cellular features, including the expression and cellular distribution of anchor gene markers used to identify key cell types in mouse kidney studies. These data will facilitate and inform in vitro efforts to generate human kidney structures and comparative functional analyses across mammalian species.

Cellular interactions among nephron, interstitial, and collecting duct progenitors drive mammalian kidney development. In mice, Six2+ nephron progenitor cells (NPCs) and Foxd1+ interstitial progenitor cells (IPCs) form largely distinct lineage compartments at the onset of metanephric kidney development. Here, we used the method for analyzing RNA following intracellular sorting (MARIS) approach, single-cell transcriptional profiling, in situ hybridization, and immunolabeling to characterize the presumptive NPC and IPC compartments of the developing human kidney. As in mice, each progenitor population adopts a stereotypical arrangement in the human nephron-forming niche: NPCs capped outgrowing ureteric branch tips, whereas IPCs were sandwiched between the NPCs and the renal capsule. Unlike mouse NPCs, human NPCs displayed a transcriptional profile that overlapped substantially with the IPC transcriptional profile, and key IPC determinants, including FOXD1, were readily detected within SIX2+ NPCs. Comparative gene expression profiling in human and mouse Six2/SIX2+ NPCs showed broad agreement between the species but also identified species-biased expression of some genes. Notably, some human NPC-enriched genes, including DAPL1 and COL9A2, are linked to human renal disease. We further explored the cellular diversity of mesenchymal cell types in the human nephrogenic niche through single-cell transcriptional profiling. Data analysis stratified NPCs into two main subpopulations and identified a third group of differentiating cells. These findings were confirmed by section in situ hybridization with novel human NPC markers predicted through the single-cell studies. This study provides a benchmark for the mesenchymal progenitors in the human nephrogenic niche and highlights species-variability in kidney developmental programs.
İKLİM DEĞİŞİKLİĞİ SÜRECİNDE EKONOMİDEKİ YENİ KAVRAMLAR VE YAKLAŞIMLAR

İklim değişikliği günümüzde tüm dünya üzerinde
etkili olmakla birlikte özellikle gelişmekte olan ülkelerde bölgesel bazda daha
önemli etkilere sahip, gelecekte de ekosistem hizmetleri aracılığıyla insanlığı
ciddi şekilde tehdit etme potansiyeli bulunan küresel bir sorundur. İklim
değişikliğine büyük ölçüde insan aktivitelerinin yol açtığı düşünüldüğünde,
iklim değişikliğinde ekonomik aktivitelerin rolünün tartışılmaz olduğu açıktır.
Küresel nüfus artışına bağlı olarak ekonomik aktivitelerde de artış yaşanacağı
ifade edilmektedir.  Özellikle büyüme
odaklı ekonomilerde ekonomik büyümenin sağlanması yönünde gerçekleştirilen ve
nüfus artışıyla birlikte daha da artacağı düşünülen ekonomik aktivitelere bağlı
fosil yakıt tüketimi ve arazi kullanımı değişikliği sonucu atmosferdeki sera
gazı konsantrasyonu artmaktadır ve gelecek birkaç on yılda çok daha artması
beklenmektedir. Ekonomik büyümenin istikrarlı bir şekilde devam ettirilebilmesi
paralelinde doğal kaynakların sürdürülebilirliğinin sağlanması da büyük önem
taşımaktadır. Ekonomik büyümenin hız kesmeden devam edeceğini varsaydığımızda
çevresel sınırlamaların varlığını da dikkate almamız ve kaynakları
sürdürülebilir hale getirmemiz gerekmektedir. Sürdürülebilir bir kaynak
kullanımı da ancak kaynak kullanımının ekonomik büyümeden ayrıklaştırılması
yoluyla mümkün görünmektedir ve bu kavram küresel kaynak akışı paralelinde
dikkat edilmesi gereken bir kavram olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır.  Çalışmamız bu temel üzerine kurulmuştur.
Makale, ayrıklaştırmanın önemini vurgulamakta ve ayrıklaştırmayı her yönüyle
ele almaktadır. Ayrıklaştırmanın nasıl ölçüldüğü ve ayrıklaştırma sürecinin
nasıl izlenmesi gerektiği incelenerek, ayrıklaştırma
açısından gelişmiş ülke ve gelişmekte olan ülke farklılıkları ve iklim
değişikliği kapsamında ayrıklaştırma süreci değerlendirilmiştir.
US Monetary Policy and International Bond Markets
Authors: Gilchrist Simon , Yue Vivian , Zakrajsek Egon
Published: February 2018

This paper uses high-frequency data to analyze the effects of US monetary policy--during the conventional and unconventional policy regimes--on foreign government bonds markets in advanced and emerging market economies. The results indicate that an expansionary US monetary policy steepens the foreign yield curve--denominated in local currency--during a conventional US monetary policy regime and flattens the foreign yield curve during an unconventional policy regime. The passthrough of unconventional US monetary policy to foreign bond yields is, on balance, comparable to that of conventional policy. In addition a conventional US monetary easing leads to a significant narrowing of the credit spreads on dollar-denominated sovereign bonds that are issued by countries with a speculative-grade sovereign credit rating. However, during the unconventional policy regime, yields on speculative-grade sovereign debt denominated in dollars move one-to-one with yields on comparable-maturity US Treasury securities.

The pulsed radiation from the Crab Pulsar consists of the main pulse (MP) and inter pulse (IP), as well as of the extra pulse components appearing at certain frequencies. One of the mysteries of these data, found by Moffett and Hankins twenty years ago, is the shift of the IP at high radio frequencies compared to lower ones and return to its previous position in the higher-frequency optical and X-ray range. In previous paper we proposed the explanation of these mysterious changes with the frequency, applying the idea of the reflection of curvature radiation by relativistic positrons from the stellar surface. Presently we focus on the additional contribution of transition radiation, emitted when positron hits the surface, to the total pulse produced by the particle. It is shown that due to the 'half-bare' state of positron in the polar gap the considered contribution is significantly suppressed comparing to the one of reflected curvature radiation.

Published: February 2018

The article presents the results of a study of movie preferences of a modern young viewer, their structure and connections with demographic variables and personality traits. A total of 205 individuals participated in the study. The six-factor structure of movie genre preferences was discovered. The commonality of the genres preferred permits us to speak of the selectivity and activity when the viewer wants to watch a movie. The connection we have found between movie preferences and personality traits, intelligence, and belief in a just world shows that people prefer the movies which correspond to their individual psychological peculiarities. There are differences by sex in movie preferences.

Modern ideas about types of knowledge and experience in psychological research of the problem of their capitalization
Authors: Samoylenko E.S. , Bogdanova I.V.
Published: February 2018

The article analyzes modern ideas about “knowledge” and “experience” in the context of problems of “capitalization” of professional knowledge that determine the specifics and know-how of the enterprise. Different interpretations of the concept of “knowledge” are considered, as well as questions concerning the sources and principles of their creation in the organization. The specificity of the concept of “experience” is determined by the practice of using individualized knowledge. Among the tasks of capturing individual experience, the creation of methods enabling the identification of its components in natural activity is put at the forefront. The practical perspective is seen in the application of the paradigm of perceived quality, whose methodology is aimed at the integration of different approaches and the triangulation of data obtained by various methods and procedures.
