The final objective of this research is the completion of a local fruit marketing model to maintain local fruit products in the domestic market. Hence, the local fruit products always be a favorite product of West Kalimantan community. The specific objective of this research are (1) to identify the local fruit consumer profile, (2) to elaborate the local fruit consumer profile, (3) to identify and elaborate the local fruit consumer behavior, (4) to analyze the factors influencing consumer decision to buy local fruit. This study used descriptive survey method with 400 respondents by random selected method. The data would be analyzed by using multi-attribute models, while the relationship between factors to the consumption decision of local fruit would use rank Spearman correlation. The results stated that the decision to consume both local and imported fruit was more determined by their own decisions than determined by other people opinions. Consumers in Pontianak prefer to choose imported fruit rather than local fruit. In local fruit marketing, sellers had to consider four factors that correlate with the desire of consumers to buy the local fruits, namely: (a) taste, (b) quality/durability; (c) price and (d) packaging.

Beef cattle development based on regional planning approach is one of efforts to increase the role of beef cattle in Central Java Province, by synergizing between its commodity and the region potency. This study aims to analyze the role of beef cattle in the economy of Central Java and its potential development based on regional planning. The analysis instrument used to answer the aim of this research is descriptive analysis, LQ (Location Quotient), KPPTR (Ruminant Population Increased Capacity) and schallogram analysis. The results showed that the role of beef cattle in Central Java Province make a positive contribution to fulfill the demand for beef, but the beef cattle contribution for GDRP and labor is still relatively small. Central Java has considerable potency for the development of beef cattle since it is even now able to increase the ruminant population amounting 5.232.130 AU (Animal Unit) based on TDN (Total Digestible Nutrient), which scattered in 17 districts of the 21 districts designated as the development regions of beef cattle. The base region of beef cattle in Central Java Province located in 7 (seven) districts, but based on the results of the physical assessment of services capacity of these regions considered remain relatively low and middling. The strategy to increase the role of beef cattle in the economy of Central Java is by classifying the regions into 4 groups: namely based on the source of forage, the region base of beef cattle, and the level of service capacity of beef cattle development.

Indonesia’s export dependency on traditional marketcan be minimized by diversifying export markets.Rubber (HS 4001-natural rubber) is one of Indonesia's main export commoditiesto Latin America. Given Indonesia's export growth to Latin America, the region could become potential market for diversifying export markets. This study aimed to analyze the competitiveness of rubber commodities and the factors affecting Indonesian rubber exports to Latin America, using secondary data ie cross section data of 6 export destination countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru) and time series data during 7 years (2009-2015). The analysis tools used RCA, EPD, and gravity model. Based on average RCA value, HS 4001 (natural rubber) Indonesia’s product is able to compete in Latin American market. Meanwhile EPD analysis identified, Indonesia’s main commodities are on rising star, falling star, and retreat positions. Gravity model analysis shows that the factors which influence Indonesia’s export to America Latin are GDP of export destination countries, real exchange rate, export price, and economic distance.

Planning Procedures in Pakistan
Authors: Shorter Fred C.
Published: July 2018

Because economic plans are made by ministers, civil servants,
and engineers, as well as by economists, it would be arrogant to expect
planning procedures to conform strictly to the rules of economic
analysis. Nevertheless, as professional men, we would like to know how
much use is made of the economist's techniques and, where none are used,
to consider what techniques could be recommended to the planners. A
paper concerning this problem was recently prepared in the Institute of
Development Economics by Professors Fei and Ranis1. The first part of
this paper is a comment on their work. The accumulation of knowledge
requires criticism, but it also requires fresh hypotheses. In the second
part, I have outlined the Pakistan Planning Commission's planning
procedure as I have been able to infer it from Commission documents and
conversations with individuals who participated in the preparation of
the Second Plan. This report is preliminary, because I have not studied
all the documents that could be made available, nor have I gone deeply
into details of the procedure. My reasons for publishing such an
analysis at this time are to draw attention to certain procedural
problems whose treatment has important effects on the end result of the
planning process and to offer my encouragement to anyone who would
'undertake the further study which this planning experience deserves.
Pakistan's Terms of Trade, 1955-60
Authors: Aminul Islam A. I.
Published: July 2018

The importance of the terms of trade in economic development
arises from the fact that they affect a country's import capacity as
well as the balance of payments position. The position of most of the
underdeveloped countries with respect to their export proceeds and terms
of trade is precarious and vulnerable. Though the ratio of exports to
national income may not be higher in these countries than in the
advanced countries, most of these countries depend excessively on a few
export commodities for the bulk of their export earnings. Consequently,
export disturbances are a source of serious problems for these
countries. The traditional pattern of Pakistan's foreign trade is
similar to that cf many other underdeveloped countries. The
characteristic feature is a heavy dependence on a small number of export
items: Jute and cotton (raw, yarn and manufactures) account for about 80
per cent of Pakistan's total export earnings; while raw wool, tea, hides
and skins add another 5 per cent1. Though imports are more varied,
particular items like machinery and mill work, metals and ores, mineral
oils, etc., account for a major share of im¬ports. Lately, with
increased home production cf consumer goods, a new trend has become
evident. Imports of consumer goods have been considerably reduced, and
greater emphasis is now being placed on the import of industrial
machinery. But the deficit in the balance of trade and the need to
service the foreign debt still limits Pakistan's capacity to import the
capital equipment necessary for its industrial development.
First Release from the Second Population Census of Pakistan,
1961

Published: July 2018

The field enumeration for the purposes of the Second
Population Census of Pakistan was completed at dawn of February 1, 1961.
The first Bulletin with provisional results is dated 27 days later1. The
less than five weeks in the case of Pakistan compare with about four
weeks in the case of the latest Census of India 2, and just over six
weeks in the case of United Kingdom3. Such figures are seldom directly
comparable, but the least that can be said is that Pakistan is in the
first league. With such standards of performance as to speed already
reached, the need now is to concentrate on increasing the extent of
information provided, ensuring greater comparability, providing some
preliminary analysis and elucidation and finally eliminating clerical
mistakes through more checking. The swift results in Pakistan in the
prevailing communication and literacy circumstances suggest that the
work was well planned and must have been carried out by an exceedingly
efficient organisation.
ECAFE and Economic Cooperation in Asia

1. At the 16th session of the United Nations Economic
Commission for Asia and the Far East (ECAFE), held at Bangkok in
Marchl960, a resolution was passed unanimously (Annex I) urging greater
cooperation among countries of the ECAFE region in order to achieve
accelerated economic and social development. This might well be regarded
as a historic landmark: while regional cooperation had been taking place
already in some measure through the forums of ECAFE and other
international or regional bodies, never before was the desire for it
voiced in such unambiguous and concrete terms. It is, therefore,
appropriate and timely to study the past efforts and future
possibilities of such cooperation.

AFinLA’s research network for Speech and Spoken Language Research was established in 2014. This is the first thematic publication from the network. This introductory article introduces and classifies the other articles in this collection. In addition, we examine earlier AFinLA publications from the preceding four decades and evaluate the extent of pronunciation or spoken language research in AFinLA’s publication series. In our analysis, we noticed that studies related to pronunciation or spoken language research formed ca. 12 % of the total volume of published articles. There has been a slight proportional decrease in number during the decades. Spoken language studies have been more common than studies focusing on pronunciation. The tar- get languages have been most commonly either Finnish or English. The main focus has often been on learning or assessing foreign language skills, but studies focusing on the teaching of pronunciation or spoken language have so far been very rare in Finland.

Yoga for Management of Type 2 Diabetes: A Review for Clinicians
Authors: Bonikowske Amanda R. , Schuver Katie J. , Lewis Beth A.
Published: July 2018

Background: Empirical evidence indicates that yogic practices may be beneficial for the management of type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this review is to analyze and synthesize recent experimental trials examining the effect of yoga asana-based interventions on blood glucose, HbA1C, and anthropometric measures among individuals with type 2 diabetes. This review focuses on clinically relevant findings that support the prescription of yogic asana practices to this population.

Methods: Electronic searches of several databases were performed for experimental studies through December 2015. Studies were included if they were in English, peer reviewed, included asana-based yoga interventions among adults with type 2 diabetes, and reported relevant outcomes.

Results: The search identified 19 experimental studies. A majority of the studies found improvements in blood glucose measures, hemoglobin A1c, and/or anthropometric measures. Style of yoga, duration of yogic interventions, and type of control group varied across studies.

Conclusion: These studies suggest that regular yoga practice may lead to improvements in blood glucose measures, hemoglobin A1c, body weight, and body mass index. Further research is warranted to confirm these preliminary findings and better understand how yoga interventions can be implemented into clinical settings.
Physical Mathematics and the Fine-Structure Constant
Authors: Sherbon Michael A.
Published: July 2018

Research into ancient physical structures, some having been known as the seven wonders of the ancient world, inspired new developments in the early history of mathematics. At the other end of this spectrum of inquiry the research is concerned with the minimum of observations from physical data as exemplified by Eddington's Principle. Current discussions of the interplay between physics and mathematics revive some of this early history of mathematics and offer insight into the fine-structure constant. Arthur Eddington's work leads to a new calculation of the inverse fine-structure constant giving the same approximate value as ancient geometry combined with the golden ratio structure of the hydrogen atom. The hyperbolic function suggested by Alfred Landé leads to another result, involving the Laplace limit of Kepler's equation, with the same approximate value and related to the aforementioned results. The accuracy of these results are consistent with the standard reference. Relationships between the four fundamental coupling constants are also found.

Authors: Narasimhulu Andriya , SHANDLEY ROHIT
Published: July 2018

The introduction of climbing holds has given rise to indoor climbing facilities. Climbing holds arranged in the form of a route are used to simulate an artificial environment for rock climbing, often similar to that found in nature. This paper highlights the significance of material composition for the application of rock climbing hold manufacture. A particle reinforced composite material, comprising of an unsaturated polyester resin, reinforced with marble powder was developed and the effect on mechanical properties was studied with varying powder concentration , beginning from 0% reinforcement to 30%, 40%, 50% and subsequently 60 % reinforcement . Test specimens were made according to ASTM standards and were tested for tensile, izod impact strength and Rockwell hardness. Trends were established based on the results obtained. Furthermore, hardness values were also compared with commercially available climbing holds.

Cite as: Michael Veale, Reuben Binns and Lilian Edwards (2018) Algorithms That Remember: Model Inversion Attacks and Data Protection Law. Philosophical Transactions A, forthcoming. doi:10.1098/rsta.2018.0083Many individuals are concerned about the governance of machine learning systems and the prevention of algorithmic harms. The EU's recent General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been seen as a core tool for achieving better governance of this area. While the GDPR does apply to the use of models in some limited situations, most of its provisions relate to the governance of personal data, while models have traditionally been seen as intellectual property. We present recent work from the information security literature around `model inversion' and `membership inference' attacks, which indicate that the process of turning training data into machine learned systems is not one-way, and demonstrate how this could lead some models to be legally classified as personal data. Taking this as a probing experiment, we explore the different rights and obligations this would trigger and their utility, and posit future directions for algorithmic governance and regulation.

Life after death in the evolution of intelligence
Authors: Lekamalaya Senarath Dayathilake Kande
Published: July 2018

To find a scientific solution to the belief of life after death is essential, yet it remains unclear due to unresolved problems in physics, psychology, and neuroscience. Early Buddhist psychology and some empirical research findings might be helpful to get better insight or at least for a hypothesis on these matters. I show that the genomic x-particle might be transferred to a vacant zygote or an early embryo anywhere in the universe/s, as a natural phenomenon, when a brain clinically death. Although its mechanism is yet unknown, I show that the genomic x-particle might be near zero mass and it would travel infinite velocity to find a suitable vacant zygote or an early embryo to life after death. This work is an attempt to review the problem that might not break laws of neuroscience, physics, and psychology.
On the dependability and feasibility of layperson ratings of divergent thinking
Authors: Hass Richard W , Silvia Paul
Published: July 2018

A new system for subjective rating of responses to divergent thinking tasks was tested using raters recruited from Amazon Mechanical Turk. The rationale for the study was to determine if such raters could provide reliable (aka generalizable) ratings from the perspective of generalizability theory. To promote reliability across the Alternative Uses and Consequence task prompts often used by researchers as measures of Divergent Thinking, two parallel scales were developed to facilitate feasibility and validity of ratings performed by laypeople. Generalizability and dependability studies were conducted separately for two scoring systems: the average-rating system and the snapshot system. Results showed that it is difficult to achieve adequate reliability using the snapshot system, while good reliability can be achieved on both task families using the average-rating system and a specific number of items and raters. Additionally, the construct validity of the average-rating system is generally good, with less validity for certain Consequences items. Recommendations for researchers wishing to adopt the new scales are discussed, along with broader issues of generalizability of subjective creativity ratings.
A Day in the Life of Narcissus: Measuring Narcissistic Grandiosity and Vulnerability in Daily Life
Authors: Edershile Elizabeth A. , Woods William C. , Sharpe Brinkley M. , Crowe Michael L , Miller Josh , Wright Aidan G.C.
Published: July 2018

There is growing interest in understanding the fluctuations in narcissistic grandiosity and vulnerability over time. Momentary data collection is vital in facilitating this new area of inquiry. Two narcissism adjective scales, the Narcissistic Grandiosity Scale and the Narcissistic Vulnerability Scale, have recently been developed for this purpose. In the present study, the validity of these two scales was examined across three different samples. Results indicate that these measures perform well psychometrically at both the momentary and trait-level. In particular, results from the multilevel exploratory factor analyses reveal a clear two-factor structure at both the within- and between-person level. Additional results examining the relationship between these scales and other momentary scales (e.g., the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule) reflect associations in line with contemporary literature. Finally, both of these scales tended to correlate with other dispositional measures at the between-person level in the expected manner, with particularly strong associations with existing narcissism measures (e.g., The Pathological Narcissism Inventory and The Five Factor Narcissism Inventory). Future studies wishing to examine fluctuations in grandiosity and vulnerability should consider using these scales for momentary narcissism assessment.
Test-Based Admission to Selective Universities: A Lever for First-Generation Students or a Safety Net for the Professional Classes?
Authors: Thomsen Jens-Peter
Published: July 2018

This article examines whether the existence of a secondary higher education admission system honouring more qualitative and extra-curricular merits has reduced the social class gap in access to highly sought-after university programmes in Denmark. I use administrative data to examine differences in the social gradient in the primary admission system, admitting students on the basis of their high school grade point average, and in the secondary admission system, admitting university students based on more qualitative assessments. I find that the secondary higher education admission system does not favour first-generation students; further, the system serves as an access route for low-achieving children from the privileged professional classes. Drawing mainly on theories in the social closure tradition, I argue that children with highly educated parents will be favoured when qualitative merits are honoured, and that professional-class families will be especially vigilant in pursuing educational pathways that will secure the reproduction of their class.
No Laughter among Thieves: Authenticity and the Enforcement of Community Norms in Stand-Up Comedy
Authors: Reilly Patrick
Published: July 2018

Why might observers label one social actor’s questionable act a norm violation even as they seem to excuse similar behavior by others? To answer this question, I use participant-observer data on Los Angeles stand-up comics to explore the phenomenon of joke theft. Informal, community-based systems govern the property rights pertaining to jokes. Most instances of possible joke theft are ambiguous owing to the potential for simultaneous and coincidental discovery. I find that accusations are not strongly coupled to jokes’ similarity, and enforcement depends mainly on the extent to which insiders view the comic in question as being authentic to the community. Thus comics who are oriented toward external rewards, have a track record of anti-social behavior, and exhibit lackluster on-stage craft are vulnerable to joke theft accusations even in borderline cases—because those inauthentic characteristics are typical of transgressors. Vulnerability is greatest for comics who enjoy commercial success despite low peer esteem. Authenticity protects comics because it reflects community-based status, which yields halo effects while encouraging relationships predicated on respect. In exploring accusations of joke theft and their outcomes, this study illustrates how norms function more as framing devices than as hard-and-fast rules and how authenticity shapes their enforcement.

Published: July 2018

SAŽETAK: Cilj ovog kvalitativnog istraživanja bio je dobiti uvid u izvore profesionalnog stresa medicinskih sestara u domovima za starije osobe, njegove znakove te činitelje zaštite u suočavanju s istim. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 11 medicinskih sestara zaposlenih u domovima za starije osobe u Gradu Zagrebu, a koji su u nadležnosti Gradskog ureda za socijalnu zaštitu i osobe s invaliditetom. Podaci su prikupljeni metodom polustrukturiranog intervjua. Nalazi su pokazali da iz perspektive medicinskih sestara u domovima za starije osobe izvori profesionalnog stresa predstavljaju: organizacijski uvjeti rada (nedostatak stručnog osoblja i rad u smjenama), priroda posla, koja uključuje iskustvo suočavanja sa smrću korisnika te rad s korisnicima s problemima mentalnog zdravlja (korisnika oboljelih od Alzheimerove bolesti) i komunikacije sa članovima obitelji korisnika. Sudionice istraživanja kao tjelesne znakove stresa ističu sljedeće pokazatelje: znojenje, probavne smetnje, gubitak apetita, teškoće sa spavanjem, želučane tegobe, glavobolja, umor i aritmija. Psihološke posljedica stresa se kod sudionica manifestira kroz osjećaj tuge i potištenosti, nervoze i osjećaja napetosti. Neki od činitelja zaštite u suočavanju s navedenim izvorima stresa su aktivno suočavanje sa stresom, radno okruženje, formalni oblici podrške. Budući da je područje stresa u profesionalnih pomagača u radu sa starijim osobama relativno neistraženo područje, dobiveni nalazi mogu poslužiti kao uvid u ključna pitanja i područja unapređenja rada u domovima socijalne skrbi. U tom smislu posebice je važno uvođenje profesionalne podrške djelatnicima u osiguravanju kvalitete rada. Također, dobiveni rezultati mogu se koristiti kao polazna točka i smjernica za daljnja istraživanja u području stresa profesionalnih pomagača koji rade sa starijim osobama.
Oblikovanje zaštitne odjeće, obuće i opreme s ergonomskog stajališta
Authors: Hursa Šajatović Anica , Dragčević Zvonko , Zavec Pavlinić Daniela
Published: July 2018

SUMMARY: Ergonomics is a scientific discipline that explores the interaction between man, working systems and environment. Persons engaged in work activities should be protected according to workplace safety regulations by means of appropriate clothing, footwear and equipment specifically designed to meet ergonomic requirements. Protective clothing, footwear and equipment should be designed and engineered in such a way that their size and shape follow the dimensions and shape of the user’s body. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to make static and dynamic measurements of the user’s body. Based on static and dynamic anthropometry we have identified ergonomically favourable positions for pockets and zippers and the optimum length of sleeves, jackets, trousers, overalls, etc., as well as ergonomically favourable positions for incident-related equipment (e.g. devices for maintaining radio connections, lamp, breathing apparatus, etc.). In addition, it was established that some garments should overlap in order to avoid injury due to exposure of body parts. The paper provides examples of functional clothing designed for protection against heat and fire. The examples meet ergonomic requirements by identifying favourable pocket and zipper positions and sizes as well as by ensuring that some parts of protective clothing overlap to provide safety and protection. The paper also describes the method used for testing the ergonomic requirements of protective clothing and equipment, and presents the results of the survey that measured fire fighters’ satisfaction with this kind of protective clothing. The survey was conducted in three public fire brigades – two in Zagreb (Centre and Dubrava) and one in Karlovac, as well as two volunteer fire brigades (Dubrava and Karlovac).
Degradiran položaj stručnjaka zaštite na radu u skladu s novim Zakonom o zaštiti na radu
Authors: Lalić Željka , Lise Ivo

SAŽETAK: Položaj stručnjaka zaštite na radu degradiran je prema novom Zakonu o zaštiti na radu. Poslodavac je obvezan obavljati poslove zaštite na radu u skladu s procjenom rizika, stanjem zaštite na radu i brojem radnika te može ugovoriti obavljanje poslova zaštite na radu s ovlaštenom osobom, no samo u slučaju kada zbog objektivnih i opravdanih razloga poslove zaštite na radu ne može obavljati sam. Tada će poslodavac ugovoriti poslove zaštite na radu s ovlaštenom ustavnom, pravodobno se savjetujući s povjerenikom radnika za zaštitu na radu, ali ne i sa stručnjakom zaštite na radu. Zakonom i novim Pravilnikom o obavljanju poslova zaštite na radu propisano je da stručnjak zaštite na radu može kod poslodavca, ovisno o broju radnika i djelatnosti, obavljati poslove zaštite na radu kao stručnjak zaštite na radu I. ili II. stupnja, pa tako proizlazi da stručnjak zaštite na radu može biti bilo koja osoba s položenim najmanjim majstorskim ispitom. Ipak i tada poslodavac ima obvezu unaprijed se savjetovati s povjerenikom radnika za zaštitu na radu o zapošljavanju stručnjaka zaštite na radu i poslovima koje će obavljati. Takvim zakonskim propisom postao je degradiran nekadašnji utjecaj stručnjaka zaštite na radu kao važne savjetodavne osobe.
Nove norme i izbor odijela za zaštitu od kemijskih i bioloških opasnosti

SUMMARY: Selection of chemical protective clothing in industry is based on the known hazards. Firefighters and other intervention personnel face danger from many different hazardous chemicals which are usually not known in advance. On the whole, firefighters select the highest possible protection level offered by gastight suits. Their choice are frequently still reusable garments, although limited and single use garments, beside lower price, offer a number of important advantages in terms of weight, volume, chemical resistance, ease of maintenance, and comfort. New European norms do not divide chemical protective garments into reusable and limited use any more, which is in concert with the progress achieved in material technology. The issue of total lifecycle cost has become the decisive factor in the selection process. Following correct selection based on risk assessment is the maintenance specified in manufacturers’ recommendations, which is a critical factor in garment functionality. Modelling toxicity for new materials gives the opportunity for more precise risk assessment regarding permeation of dangerous chemicals and removes certain deficiencies in European norms. Some of most important parameters which must be analysed and compared during selection process are presented in the paper.

SAŽETAK: Premda u hrvatskom zakonodavstvu postoji velik broj propisa iz područja zaštite na radu, još su neka područja rada slabo obuhvaćena i regulirana. Takva je situacija i s radom radnika u hladnjačama. Duljina boravka radnika u hladnjači, broj ulazaka i izlazaka tijekom jedne smjene, obvezno osiguranje određenog vremena zadržavanja u pretprostoru, osiguranje odgovarajuće osobne zaštitne opreme samo su neke od mjera koje poslodavac treba poduzeti kako bi spriječio negativan učinak rada u hladnjačama za radnikovo zdravlje.
Cilj ovog rada je dati preporuke o tome kako organizirati rad u hladnjačama s ciljem smanjenja rizika štetnog utjecaja niskih temperatura na zdravlje radnika na najmanju moguću mjeru.
Research of Binary Surfactant Mixtures Based on N-Lauroyl Sarcosinate
Authors: Cui Juan , Xu Hujun
Published: July 2018

Surface properties of binary surfactant systems of N-lauroyl sarcosinate (LS) with fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether (AEO9), dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (DTAC) and dodecyl dimethyl betaine (BS-12) have been investigated in aqueous NaCl (0.1 mol · L−1) solution at (298 ± 0.1) K, respectively. Synergistic parameters of the two components in both mixed micelles and mixed adsorption layers were obtained by calculations. Furthermore, we applied the regular solution theory on the mixed systems when synergism in mixed micelle formation, surface tension reduction efficiency and surface tension effectiveness was researched. The results show that there are synergistic effects in the mixed systems, the surface performances of the mixtures are significantly better than that of any single component in the mixed systems. The result coincides with the relevant theories of the ability of mixed micelle formation, surface tension reduction efficiency and surface tension reduction effectiveness.
Foam and Rheological Properties of a Kind of Extended Surfactants
Authors: Zhou Yawen , Lv Mengdie , Liu Changyao , Xu Baocai
Published: July 2018

The foam and rheological properties of four extended surfactants C12–14PmE2S (m = 0, 3, 5, and 8) of four different concentrations were investigated in this paper. The foam properties, including, foamability, foam stability, liquid carrying ability, foam drainage and foam morphology were characterized. The rheological measurements were carried out through frequency sweep in the oscillation mode. The foamability and foam stability decreased with increasing numbers of PO groups embedded in those surfactants. At the same concentration, the longer the PO chain of the surfactant molecule, the larger the liquid carrying capacity of the foam. The foaming number decreases as the time increases, and longer PO chains were associated with faster foam number decline. The rheological measurements show that those surfactant solutions are “liquid-like”. With increasing surfactant concentration, the viscous modulus of C12–14P8E2S increases gradually, whereas that of C12–14E2S decreases.

This paper reviews the various technologies involved in the synthesis of anionic phosphate ester surfactants. Use of base material such as alcohol ethoxylates, alkyl phenol ethoxylates, fatty acid ethoxylates and phosphating reagents plays a key role on the applications and properties of phosphate ester surfactants. Also roles are played by the reaction conditions maintained and charging conditions on the mono-diester ratio. In this paper attempt has been made to review the base materials used for the synthesis of phosphate esters, synthesis processes and their effect on the properties of phosphate esters, applications and global scenario of phosphate ester surfactants.
Biological Surfactants vs. Polysorbates: Comparison of Their Emulsifier and Surfactant Properties

Published: July 2018

In this work two biological surfactants, a cell-bound biosurfactant produced by Lactobacillus pentosus and a biosurfactant obtained from a fermented stream corn milling industry, were compared with two chemical surfactants (polysorbate 20 and polysorbate 80) in terms of surface tension reduction, critical micellar concentration (CMC), oil spreading and emulsifying capacity. Biological surfactants showed a similar ability to reduce the surface tension of water as polysorbates, which was in conformance with the results obtained in the drop collapse test. Regarding the ability to spread the oil on water, both biosurfactants produced similar results as polysorbates after 1 h. However, after 24 h, polysorbates and biosurfactant from corn stream were more effective than L. pentosus biosurfactant, producing greater free oil areas. Concerning the emulsifying activity, in terms of relative emulsion volume (EV), the biosurfactant produced from L. pentosus gave the best results (EV = 100%), after 1 day of emulsion formation, keeping this value over 50% after 15 days of emulsion formation; whereas polysorbates gave EV values lower than 50%. The CMC values of the biosurfactant from corn stream and of polysorbates were closer in comparison with the CMC value of L. pentosus biosurfactant, observing that the characteristics and properties of the biosurfactant from corn stream are more similar to polysorbates than to L. pentosus biosurfactant. Thus, it could be speculated that biosurfactant from corn stream would be a good substitute for polysorbates.

A preservação dos direitos fundamentais é indissociável da salvaguarda da dignidade da pessoa humana, bem este que é ao mesmo tempo individual e coletivo. Nessa senda, no atual cenário em que o Poder Judiciário tornou-se o gerenciador da Constituição e das Leis, adentrando nas atividades desenvolvidas pelos Poderes Executivo e Legislativo, a integração dos sistemas de controle, incluindo-se aí os Tribunais de Contas, torna-se imprescindível para a manutenção dos direitos fundamentais.
SUPREMO TRIBUNAL FEDERAL: ENTRE A ÚLTIMA PALAVRA E DIÁLOGOS INTERINSTITUCIONAIS OU ENTRE A AUTONOMIA E ALTERIDADE

Os últimos cinquenta anos da jurisdição constitucional brasileira tem uma história que é claramente pendular, indo de posturas francamente ativistas para outras indubitavelmente autocontidas. É, então, com relação a esse período que se pretende fazer uma breve digressão no presente artigo. Para tanto, começamos nossa análise de forma tópica, a partir do exame do Recurso Extraordinário com Repercussão Geral n. 845.779/SC, que suspende um total de 678 processos. Essa causa coloca na lide André dos Santos Fialho ou Ama Fialho e a empresa Beiramar Shopping Center Ltda. A primeira foi representada pelo Núcleo de Prática Jurídica de Saúde de Santa Catarina. Pela repercussão do tema, uma série de Associações ligadas à defesa de gays, lésbicas e transexuais foi admitida como amicus curiae. O caso é simples, pois, Ama Fialho, a despeito de se identificar como mulher, sendo um transexual, foi impedida pelos seguranças do Shopping Center de entrar no banheiro feminino para se aliviar. A despeito de humilhada em público, procurou lojas que disponibilizassem banheiros particulares, sofrendo reiteradas humilhações públicas. Nervosa e desesperada, ela acabou fazendo suas necessidades em suas próprias roupas. E, nesse estado, tomou transporte público até sua moradia. Ajuizou ação de indenização por danos morais, sendo vencedora em primeira instância. Contudo, o Tribunal de Justiça do Estado de Santa Catarina considerou que o “pequeno incômodo” que Ama sofrera seria incapaz de ser traduzido como um dano moral capaz de ressarciment  O andamento do processo pode ser visualizado pelo endereço eletrônico do Supremo Tribunal Federal:
ORÇAMENTO PÚBLICO E CULTURA: Critérios técnicos que possibilitam escolhas qualitativas

Published: July 2018

Este trabalho tem como objetivo colocar, de forma pedagógica, o caminho percorrido pelas instituições para a formação do orçamento público no direcionamento das políticas sociais voltadas para a promoção da cultura no Brasil. Boas ideias não passam de boas ideias quando não há recursos para sua implementação ou há contingenciamento dos valores. Não é incomum que a opacidade dos orçamentos sirva como orientação para a elaboração das políticas públicas, mesmo que seja em nome de políticas distributivas e inclusivas. Portanto, entender do orçamento, da origem dos recursos públicos e das formas de destinação, é parte do processo do desenho das políticas públicas. Também os mecanismos de accountability exigem informações claras a respeito da qualidade da execução de despesas. O entendimento sobre o que seja um orçamento cultural possibilita o estabelecimento de critérios e fluxos de informações, essenciais na construção de ações e objetivos passíveis de serem aferidos e avaliados de modo transparente. O estudo mostra que um orçamento cultural plasmado em aspectos técnicos contribui para o processo de convencimento em torno de estratégias de pactuação, coordenação de ações e agenciamento de conflitos políticos para a promoção da cultura no País.
