(Title: Japanese verb compound words) As an agglutinative language, the formation of the word in Japanese is done morphologically. The word joins Japanese consists of compound words (複合 語), words reduplication (畳 語), and derivative words (派生 語). This study aims to describe the structure and relationship of the meaning of verb compound words. The method used is the descriptive method. As a result of the study, it was found that verb compound words have patterns (N + V), (V + V), (A + V), and (AD + V). The relation of the meaning of the pattern (N + V) is A subject B, object B, and A tool or material B. The relation of the meaning of the pattern (V + V) is the first/second element to lose its substantive meaning, the first and second elements cannot be described again, parallel relations (synonyms and antonyms). There is not much pattern (A + V) found. The pattern (AD + V) expresses the description of the situation with onomatopoeia.
LIBERTY AS THE IMPOSSIBLE, THE LANGUAGE OF SILENCE: IN REREADING KIM SUYǑNG’S WORKS IN 1960s
Authors: CHOI Seoyoon
Published: February 2019

This article examines several works written by Kim Suyǒng in the 1960s with a focus on negation as the poetic method in accordance with revolution. He lived through a late colonial period, the Korean War, the April Revolution, and Park Chung Hee’s regime and he was keenly aware Koreans had not spoken of liberty as the invention of modernity in our mother tongue throughout our history. He dedicated all his poems to demonstrating why liberty was impossible to be spoken in Korean. In the course of his writing, his authentic poetic language developed into silence as a martyr, the language of death and love. In so doing, he could “live liberty” through his poetry in accordance with his conscience in the authoritarian society.
REPRESENTATION OF KOREAN TEENAGERS IN INDONESIAN LITERARY WORKS
Authors: YULIAWATI Dwi Widyaningrum
Published: February 2019

It can be said that Korean Wave has triggered the appearance of a new chapter in Indonesian literature works, namely the emergence of literature works related to Korea. Indonesian writes all of these fictions and majority featuring Korean, especially Korean teenagers as the character and use Korea related problems as story theme, setting, etc. This paper is discussing how Korean teenagers represented in Indonesian teenage literature works. Representation is meant here is as the depiction or reflection that symbolizes social reality. Of course, reality reflected in a literary work is not always an actual fact, there is frequent a tendency of reality idealized by the author, in this case is Indonesian author’s idealism. From the examination undertaken on Summer in Seoul and Oppa and I: Love Signs teenage fictions showed the following results. Seen from the perspective of adolescence developmental psychology, Korean teenagers are constructed as figure who have had mature personality, who have achieved emotional, moral, social, and intellectual independence. As a member of a family, Korean adolescent represented as a son, daughter, brother, and sister who do not only take responsibility for themselves but also for others. Then from the perspective of their relation with peers group, they are described as teenagers who have been able to expand their social relationships and have also been able to maintain those relationships. Furthermore, within in the context of education, Korean teenagers are described as young people who have been able to draw up a clear plan for the future.
KOREA: KLUCZ DALEKIEGO WSCHODU (1905) AND WACŁAW SIEROSZEWSKI’S VIEW OF KOREA
Authors: LEE Yeong-Mi
Published: February 2019

The aim of this paper is to review Wacław C. Sieroszewski’s (1858-1945) view of Korea. He, well-known Polish writer, traveled to Korea, i. e., Daehan Empire (大韓帝國), in fall of 1903, and published Korea: Klucz Dalekiego Wschodu (1905). Considering that most of travelogues of Korea were written by American, British, French, and German, so-called “Western powers,” KKDW was a pretty valuable book.The author believes that Western view of Korea was notably changed around the late eighteenth century. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Europeans did not ignore or belittle Korea and Korean. They regarded Korea as a rich and well-systemized country, and Korean as an intelligent nation, although they had very little knowledge of Korea. On the other hand, generally speaking, they degraded Korea and Korean in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and Sieroszewski was one of them. Poland was one of the weakest countries in Europe, but his view was not different from that of American, British, French, and German authors.Sieroszewski was favorably impressed by Japan before he came to Korea in October, 1903, and, as a result, he constantly compared Korea and Japan. He even wrote that Japan was better than Europe in some ways. He truly believed that Japan was the only country to carry out a desirable reform for Korea. Meanwhile, he never approved the Russia’s imperialist ambition for Korea. He considered Japan as an agent of the West. In conclusion, his idea of Korea and the East was quite similar to that of other contemporary Western travelers.
Cleaning crowdsourced labels using oracles for statistical classification
Authors: Dolatshah Mohamad , Teoh Mathew , Wang Jiannan , Pei Jian
Published: February 2019

Nowadays, crowdsourcing is being widely used to collect training data for solving classification problems. However, crowdsourced labels are often noisy, and there is a performance gap between classification with noisy labels and classification with ground-truth labels. In this paper, we consider how to apply oracle-based label cleaning to reduce the gap. We propose TARS, a label-cleaning advisor that can provide two pieces of valuable advice for data scientists when they need to train or test a model using noisy labels. Firstly, in the model testing stage, given a test dataset with noisy labels, and a classification model, TARS can use the test data to estimate how well the model will perform w.r.t. ground-truth labels. Secondly, in the model training stage, given a training dataset with noisy labels, and a classification algorithm, TARS can determine which label should be sent to an oracle to clean such that the model can be improved the most. For the first advice, we propose an effective estimation technique, and study how to compute confidence intervals to bound its estimation error. For the second advice, we propose a novel cleaning strategy along with two optimization techniques, and illustrate that it is superior to the existing cleaning strategies. We evaluate TARS on both simulated and real-world datasets. The results show that (1) TARS can use noisy test data to accurately estimate a model's true performance for various evaluation metrics; and (2) TARS can improve the model accuracy by a larger margin than the existing cleaning strategies, for the same cleaning budget.
Beyond macrobenchmarks
Authors: Lissandrini Matteo , Brugnara Martin , Velegrakis Yannis
Published: February 2019

Despite the increasing interest in graph databases their requirements and specifications are not yet fully understood by everyone, leading to a great deal of variation in the supported functionalities and the achieved performances. In this work, we provide a comprehensive study of the existing graph database systems. We introduce a novel microbenchmarking framework that provides insights on their performance that go beyond what macro-benchmarks can offer. The framework includes the largest set of queries and operators so far considered. The graph database systems are evaluated on synthetic and real data, from different domains, and at scales much larger than any previous work. The framework is materialized as an open-source suite and is easily extended to new datasets, systems, and queries

An experimental evaluation of garbage collectors on big data applications
Authors: Xu Lijie , Guo Tian , Dou Wensheng , Wang Wei , Wei Jun
Published: February 2019

Popular big data frameworks, ranging from Hadoop MapReduce to Spark, rely on garbage-collected languages, such as Java and Scala. Big data applications are especially sensitive to the effectiveness of garbage collection (i.e., GC), because they usually process a large volume of data objects that lead to heavy GC overhead. Lacking in-depth understanding of GC performance has impeded performance improvement in big data applications. In this paper, we conduct the first comprehensive evaluation on three popular garbage collectors, i.e., Parallel, CMS, and G1, using four representative Spark applications. By thoroughly investigating the correlation between these big data applications' memory usage patterns and the collectors' GC patterns, we obtain many findings about GC inefficiencies. We further propose empirical guidelines for application developers, and insightful optimization strategies for designing big-data-friendly garbage collectors.
Probability of Detection Analysis of Frequency Modulated Thermal Wave Imaging to Glass Fiber–Reinforced Composite Materials for Nondestructive Testing
Authors: Murali Kante , Rama Koti Reddy D. V.
Published: February 2019

The probability of detection (POD) is the minimum detectable size of defects that helps in selecting an appropriate method for nondestructive testing (NDT) for a particular application and it is usually expressed as a function of defect size or aspect ratio (dimension/depth). It is a measure of the efficiency of an inspection process which is used to quantify the capability of the NDT method. For characterizing and quantifying the inspection capability and reliability of the method, POD curves are analyzed. The objective of this study is to measure the efficiency of an image processing algorithm that can locate defected areas that may be present in the analyzed sample in a completely automated way. In this article, for Frequency Modulated Thermal Wave Imaging (FMTWI), different data processing algorithms are compared by POD curves. POD curves of different segmentation algorithms for different processing algorithms are also carried out and compared with the proposed segmentation algorithm. The POD curves of the hit/miss data processing are used for estimating the detection capability and FMTWI image of glass fiber–reinforced composites, and the effects of the defect aspect ratio with 90 % POD (r90) and the defect aspect ratio for which a 90 % POD is reached at the 95 % confidence level (r90/95) on POD curves are compared.
Distributed Computing Model of Multispectral Time Series Data Analysis for Chlorophyll Concentration Determination Using Ocean Color Monitor-2 Data
Authors: Prabu M. , Anouncia S. Margret
Published: February 2019

In general, the ocean color monitor sensor (OCM) is used to identify and monitor the phytoplankton bloom and fishing zones. In the ocean, there is a food chain among plants and fish, and by calculating the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), we can identify chlorophyll concentration of the particular ocean area. NDVI is an indication of the presence of chlorophyll concentration. In this study, importance is given to the NDVI of ocean area, because our Earth is mostly occupied by the ocean in the sense of water. OCM sensor data are used to identify the chlorophyll, which in turn indicates the presence of phytoplankton. This is the primary production in the basic food chain, and also for the fishes. Remote sensing methodology is used to find and understand the spatial allocation of oceanwater constituents. Usually, the phytoplankton pigment emits a greenish color in the seawater, which is the visible region in the ocean. It enables plant objects to be identified from among the other suspended matter on the oceanwater. NDVI is mainly used in land applications to identify vegetation and forestation, and it is used to identify the chlorophyll pigment concentration of the ocean surface. Therefore, NDVI can be used to map chlorophyll-determined zones through which possible fishing zones can be generated. This study also shows that the NDVI generation technique is used to discover the resources of seawater for mapping the fishing zones. However, the limitation on large-scale computation for the entire earth surface leaves challenges toward raising the technological solution. Hence, an attempt is made to integrate a distributed computational model to cover the larger spatial data. Therefore, a grid-based satellite image processing system is designed to discover the chlorophyll pigment concentration on the ocean through NDVI generation. With multiple computing nodes of the configured grid, the spatial coverage on the oceanic surface is widened and computational speed is also improved to yield a promising outcome.

Published: February 2019

Perennialism is common among the higher plants, yet little is known about its inheritance. Previous genetic studies of the perennialism in Zea have yielded contradictory results. In this study, we take a reductionist approach by specifically focusing on one trait: regrowth (the plant’s ability to restart a new life cycle after senescence on the same body). To address this, six hybrids were made by reciprocally crossing perennial Zea diploperennis Iltis, Doebley & R. Guzman with inbred lines B73 and Mo17 and Rhee Flint, a heirloom variety, of Z. mays L. ssp. mays. All the F1 plants demonstrated several cycles of growth, flowering, senescence and regrowth into normal flowering plants, indicating a dominant effect of the Z. diploperennis alleles. The regrowability (i.e., the plants’ ability to regrow after senescence) was stably transmitted to progeny of the hybrids. Segregation ratios of regrowth in the F2 generations are consistent with the trait controlled by two dominant, complementary loci, but do not exclude the influence of other modifiers or environment. Genome-wide screening with genotyping-by-sequencing technology indicated two major regrowth loci, regrowth 1 (reg1) and regrowth 2 (reg2), were on chromosomes 2 and 7, respectively. These findings lay the foundation for further exploration of the molecular mechanism of regrowth in Z. diploperennis. Importantly, our data indicate that there is no major barrier to transferring this trait into maize or other grass crops for perennial crop development with proper technology, which enhances sustainability of grain crop production in an environmentally friendly way.
Introduction: Cripping the Arts in Canada

Disability arts are political. Disability arts are vital to the disabled people’s movement for how they imagine and perpetuate both new understandings of disability, Deafhood, and madness/Mad-identity and create new worldly arrangements that can hold, centre, and even desire such understandings. Critically led by disabled, mad, and Deaf people, disability art is a burgeoning artistic practice in Canada that takes the experience of disability as a creative entry point.

Religião e futebol no Brasil: análise do “fechamento”
Authors: Petrognani Claude
Published: February 2019

O “fechamento” consiste numa prática comum entre os jogadores brasileiros. É realizada no interior do vestiário, mas não só, antes das partidas. Ela exige uma performance corporal própria dos jogadores e a reza coletiva, estrondosa e em uníssono, do Pai Nosso católico. Esta prática reveste-se de intensa densidade simbólica uma vez que ela galvaniza e condensa as principais mentalidades religiosas que compõem o pluralismo religioso brasileiro. O “fechamento” se inscreve, ainda que não diretamente, a práticas religiosas trazidas para dentro do mundo esportivo, sobretudo futebolístico, pelo grupo religioso Atletas de Cristo, sobre o qual este texto também irá discorrer.
Devenir habitante de calle en una ciudad fronteriza del norte de México: Deportación, consumo de drogas y violencias
Authors: Madrigal Juan Antonio Del Monte
Published: February 2019

En este artículo se abordan los procesos estructurales y los factores contextuales de la frontera México-Estados Unidos que enmarcaron la decisión de algunos deportados para llegar a habitar las calles de la ciudad fronteriza de Tijuana durante las primeras décadas del siglo XXI. A partir de una investigación etnográfica y de la construcción de datos longitudinales, se observa que la deportación, el fácil acceso al consumo de drogas y la escalada de violencia en los escenarios fronterizos del norte de México, configuraron una situación para que algunas personas deportadas, carentes de redes sociales en la ciudad, se sintieran “atrapadas” en esta frontera. Sin posibilidad de cruzar de nuevo a Estados Unidos debido al reforzamiento del aparato geopolítico fronterizo, al endurecimiento de las políticas migratorias estadunidenses y a la violencia en torno al narcotráfico, en este artículo se argumenta cómo algunos deportados decidieron habitar las calles de Tijuana como alternativa extrema de subsistencia.  ***Tornar-se um morador de rua em uma cidade de fronteira no norte do México: deportação, uso de drogas e violência***Este artigo aborda os processos estruturais e fatores contextuais da fronteira EUA-México, que emolduraram a decisão de alguns deportados de viver nas ruas de cidade fronteiriça de Tijuana durante as primeiras décadas do século 21. Com base em uma pesquisa etnográfica e na construção de dados longitudinais, o artigo analisa como a deportação, o fácil acesso às drogas e o aumento da violência nas áreas de fronteira do norte do México criaram uma situação de aprisionamento na fronteira para os deportados sem recursos sociais na cidade. Sem a possibilidade de cruzar novamente para os Estados Unidos devido ao fortalecimento do aparato de fronteira geopolítica, ao endurecimento das políticas de imigração dos EUA e à violência em torno do narcotráfico, este artigo argumenta como alguns deportados decidiram habitar as ruas de Tijuana como uma alternativa extrema subsistência.

Published: February 2019

Crianças e adolescentes em situação de rua tornaram-se um fenômeno comum para aqueles que circulam pelas áreas centrais das grandes cidades brasileiras. Embora essa seja uma questão social complexa, ela ainda é marcada pela invisibilidade na agenda política nacional. Este artigo visa contribuir para o aprofundamento do debate contemporâneo sobre o tema, analisando-o em suas múltiplas dimensões, a partir do levantamento da produção acadêmica nacional sobre população infantil e adolescente em situação de rua, publicada entre 2000 e 2015. As autoras destacam importantes aspectos abordados por pesquisadores de todo o país, muitos dos quais questionam as tipificações e as crenças que homogeneizavam este grupo, contribuindo para a compreensão dos aspectos culturais e históricos que caracterizam esses sujeitos. Estes estudos abordam, ainda, a importância fundamental das políticas públicas, assinalando que, embora a responsabilidade do estado sobre esta população esteja prevista em uma série de instrumentos legais e planos governamentais, os direitos de crianças e adolescentes em situação de rua ainda carecem de priorização, efetivação e monitoramento para que façam alguma diferença em suas vidas.
Perigosos ou úteis? Os moradores de rua e a produção do espaço urbano em Belo Horizonte e Bogotá
Authors: Carneiro Karine Gonçalves
Published: February 2019

Neste artigo buscaremos analisar os mecanismos e estratégias de poderes/saberes que interferem, no âmbito do planejamento urbano e da produção do espaço, sobre as pessoas moradoras de rua em Belo Horizonte e Bogotá a partir de investigações que ocorreram durante os anos 2014 e 2015. Para tal, procuraremos compreender como o planejamento urbano neoliberal tem transformado espaços públicos – locais de estruturação, parcial ou total, da vida dos moradores de rua – em commodity através de estratégias de privatização. Os procedimentos teórico-metodológicos utilizados foram baseados na etnografia e na genealogia foucaultiana – que possibilitaram tanto acompanhar a construção de uma razão neoliberal através dos tempos quanto a produção de dispositivos, no âmbito da política urbana, com o intuito de controlar corpos nas dimensões do indivíduo e da população. Nessa perspectiva, conduziremos um olhar para o espaço urbano a partir de corpos e pessoas compreendidos não como problemas, mas como parte de conflitos, pertencimentos, estratégias, formas de sujeição e exclusões com o intuito de pensar a produção do espaço de forma crítica.

Authors: Kolokoltsev M.M. , Iermakov S.S.
Published: February 2019

Purpose : to study the morphofunctional and motor characteristics of the organism of students with overweight and obesity. To compare these data with data of students with normal weight. Participants : it was examined students (females - n=1937; males - n=1302) of 17-21 year-olds. (Baikal region, Russia). It was performed an anthropometrical and physiometric examination of students. It was determined the content of muscle and fat mass in the component structure of a body. It was determined the motor qualities of students. Results : the indicators of anthropometrical and physiometric characteristics, results of motor action tests, the content of muscle and fat mass in a body of students with overweight and obesity are lower in comparison with the indicators of females and males with normal body weight (р<0.05). The integral criterion of physical fitness of students with overweight and obesity is lower in comparison with students with normal body weight (р<0.05). It is defined the direct dependence between the decrease in the level of physical fitness and increase in body weight of males and females. It was obtained data concerning interrelation of anthropometrical and functional characteristics with motor qualities of males and females with different body weight. Conclusions : Results of the research allow correcting physical training classes of youth. Such classes are focused on the differentiated decrease in fat mass content and increase in muscle mass in the component structure of students' bodies.
Kinematic analysis of the "attack to the legs" from wrestling: impact of prior judo expertise
Authors: Moufti H. , Arfaoui A.
Published: February 2019

Background and Study Aim: In the framework of motor skill learning and transfer, the objective of the present work is to highlight the kinematics during the technical execution of an "attack to the legs" in wrestling and compare expert wrestlers with wrestlers having a prior judo expertise. Moreover, this study aims to evaluate the effects of training on these characteristics. Material and Methods: 10 male subjects were divided in two groups of five: the first group contains wrestlers with at least 7 years of wrestling practice. The second group contains two-year practice wrestlers with 5-year prior judo experience. Subjects had to perform a movement of attack towards the opponent’s legs (free style wrestling). A three-dimensional analysis was carried, the displacement of seven passive markers placed over anatomical points was quantified (3-D motion analyzer, sampling rate 25Hz). The following parameters were calculated: angulation of the hip and of the knee, velocity and acceleration of the shoulder and of the wrist. The experiment was conducted twice: at the beginning of the wrestling training schedule and ten weeks later. Results: Results showed marked differences between the two groups in the kinematics of the movement. These results suggest interference between prior automatisms and learning new skill. The prior experience in judo would have influenced posture in this group. In the framework of skill transfer and dexterity, this study appears promising to investigate the processes involved in this motor control. Conclusions: Although wrestling and judo are two sport disciplines that belong to the same group of combat sport, this work underlines the specificity of learning and indicates that acquisition of motor abilities in a speciality is not transferred inevitably in a positive way in another speciality of the same group

Globalization in the periphery
Authors: Serreli Valentina
Published: February 2019

New media and communication technologies, heritage tourism and new reproductions of local identity are forms of globalization characteristic of the peripheries (Wang, Spotti, Juffermans, Kroon, Cornips and Blommaert, 2014:30). This article discusses some effects of globalization in a peripheral area of Egypt, where relative isolation delayed Arabization and favoured the maintenance of the indigenous Berber language, called Siwi. Globalization materialized in important socioeconomic changes that affected the linguistic attitudes and practices of the oasis dwellers. Following Milroy’s (1980) social network approach and Gumperz’ (1982) further elaboration, it is argued that such variation is not related to socioeconomic changes directly, but connected to the structural variation of the community’s social network they provoked. Based on qualitative attitudinal data collected through interviews and participant observation, the study shows that although Egyptian Arabic is widespread and acquires prestige, Siwi not only remains a strong marker of group solidarity but is also becoming a symbol of the Siwan identity.
Darija in the Moroccan press
Authors: Hoogland Jan
Published: February 2019

Darija, the Arabic colloquial of Morocco, and basically a spoken language, has gone through major emancipation processes since 2002. An illustration of this process is the magazine Nichane that appeared between September 2006 and September 2010 and that published articles in different measures in written Darija. This article presents an analysis of Darija as it is used in the magazine, relating the results to the current emancipation processes of this same language.

The purpose of this article is to portray and comment on the stance of the Royal Academy of Morocco towards the sociolinguistic context of the country following the 2011 Constitution in its publication of 2013. The analysis of the Royal Academy’s discourse dissects the institution’s stance regarding each linguistic variety in the Moroccan linguistic landscape, and the strategies employed to build its position. The analysis eventually demonstrates the underlying ideology that supports the Royal Academy’s stance.
Juba Arabic (Arabi Juba)
Authors: Manfredi Stefano , Tosco Mauro
Published: February 2019

This article explores the official discourse behind the regimentation of the linguistic situation of South Sudan and assesses its impact on local linguistic practices against the backdrop of a sociolinguistic survey and interviews with government officials. After a presentation of the language situation of the country, the article focuses on Juba Arabic and its unrecognized status as the only lingua franca of South Sudan. The Constitution of the country nominally recognizes and enshrines the language diversity of the country, but does not come to grips with the existence of Juba Arabic, an Arabic-based pidgincreole which is the only unifying language of a vast portion of the country and the first language of the capital.
Arabic between tradition and globalization. An introduction
Authors: de Ruiter Jan Jaap , Ziamari Karima
Published: February 2019

This introductory article presents a bird’s eye view of the study of Arabic in all its varieties since Charles Ferguson described these using the diglossia model. The ‘traditional’ studies following since then on Arabic are as diverse as there are varieties of this language. The studies of Arabic discussed in this article are viewed in the light of the most recent phase of globalization that the world, and thus the Arabic speaking world as well, is currently undergoing, and which more than ever before is bringing about intra-Arabic contacts, as apparent, for instance, in TV shows on pan-Arabic channels and on the Internet. Towards the end of this article, we briefly introduce the seven contributions in this special issue, their unifying thread being the theme of ‘Arabic between tradition and globalization’.

Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different coating materials on the physiological quality of cubiu seeds. This was evaluated with three agglomerate materials (manioc starch, inert talc and dolomitic limestone) and two binder polymers (polyvinyl acetate and gum arabic) with 30% concentration, and artificial dye finishing. The experimental design was completely randomized, in factorial scheme 3 (agglomerates) x 2 (binders), and additional treatment (bare seeds/control), containing four replicates and experimental units of fifty seeds/pellets. The seeds were evaluated for: yield; seed/pellet diameter; thousand seed weight; number of seeds per pellets; germination; germination speed index; mean germination time, seedling length; fresh and dry mass of the seedling and emergence. In general, pelletizing increased the weight and diameter of the propagation unit. The physical barrier applied to the seeds by pelletizing did not influence the germination, but delayed the germination rate concerning to bare seeds, and this effect was not observed in emergence seedling. The coating with dolomitic limestone and polyvinyl acetate presented the best results of germination and vigor.
COD removal from sucrose solution using hydrodynamic cavitation and hydrogen peroxide: a comparison between Venturi device and orifice plate

ABSTRACT The aim of the current study is to compare the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency of a Venturi device to that of an orifice plate. The inlet pressure in the devices was optimized and the degradation kinetics was analyzed. In addition, the synergistic effect resulting from the combination between cavitation and H2O2 was investigated. An experimental apparatus was built to achieve these goals. A sucrose solution and an effluent from a sucrose-based soft drink industry were treated. Results showed that the Venturi device recorded 90% COD removal efficiency after three treatment minutes. On the other hand, the orifice plate recorded 90% COD removal efficiency after 9 min. The degradation kinetics-reaction order was 3.5, except for the highest Venturi inlet pressure (7.3 bar), which led to coalescence of cavities and to reduced degradation rate. The synergistic coefficient (Sc) was 185.20 and showed that the hybrid process (HC + H2O2) was much more efficient than the cavitation process applied alone. The high COD concentration in the effluent generated by the soft drink industry (2,512.8 mg L-1) was significantly decreased by 72%. The combined use of cavitation and Venturi has significant potential to remove high organic matter concentrations in short treatment periods.
Topological defects in smectic islands formed in antiferroelectric freestanding nanofilms

Published: February 2019

In this work, the authors studied the orientational structure of islands formed in freestanding films as disc-like regions whose number of smectic layers is greater than that in the film. Islands were prepared in thin smectic nanofilms in which the long molecular axes tilt with respect to the normal layer. Geometric restrictions and rigid boundary conditions for the molecular orientation on the boundary of the island and the film induce frustration in the field of molecular ordering and lead to formation of topological defects. Depolarized reflected light microscopy allows the determination of the type of topological defects. Defects with topological charges S = +2, +1, −1, −1/2 were located inside the islands and on their boundary with the film. In the islands, the authors observed unusual structures formed by a complex of defects with positive and negative topological charges. The orientational structure of the field of molecular ordering was calculated taking into account the real and virtual topological defects on the island boundary. Islands with topological defects can be considered as a two-dimensional analogue of a mesoscopic atom.

Geniş bir yüz ölçümüne sahip orman fidanlıklarında yabancı otlarla etkin mücadele yapılabilmesi modern mekanizasyon tekniklerinin kullanılmasını zorunlu kılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, geliştirilen EFRICAD (Ege Forestry Research Institute Computer Aided Design) ekipmanı ile yastıklarda fidan sıra aralarının kolay ve hızlı bir şekilde ilaçlanarak yabancı otlarla çok daha ekonomik ve etkili bir mücadelenin yapılması hedeflenmiştir. Günümüzde orman fidanlıklarında kullanılan bu tür çekilebilir tip yastık ilaçlama ekipmanı bulunmamaktadır. Bu bağlamda Muradiye (Manisa) Orman Fidanlık Şefliği’nde denemeleri gerçekleştirilen EFRICAD ekipmanının maliyet analizi yapılmış ve geleneksel mücadele yöntemlerinin maliyetleri ile karşılaştırılarak sağladığı ekonomik getiriler hesaplanmıştır. Fidanlık üretim programında yer alan 50 dekar (da) alanda 1+0 yaşındaki çıplak köklü fidanların bulunduğu yastıklarda yabancı otlarla mücadelede EFRICAD ekipmanı kullanılarak gerçekleşen maliyetlere kıyasla Orman Genel Müdürlüğü (OGM) tarafından belirlenen maliyetlerin 11,94 kat; yöresel koşullara göre belirlenen maliyetlerin ise 12,56 kat fazla olduğu saptanmıştır. EFRICAD ekipmanının orman fidanlıklarında kullanılması ile işletme kaynaklarının etkin ve verimli bir şekilde yönetilmesi sağlanarak fidan yastıklarındaki yabancı otlarla mücadelenin daha ekonomik olarak gerçekleştirilebileceği ortaya konulmuştur.
R & D SYSTEM AND STRUCTURE OF THE STATE SUPPORT OF INNOVATION ACTIVITIES IN GERMANY
Authors: Glukhova D. , Morozov V.
Published: February 2019

Innovation can make a difference in addressing urgent developmental challenges such as providing access to drinking water, eradicating neglected diseases or reducing hunger. The transfer and, when necessary, adaptation of technologies developed in developed countries can often contribute significantly to these goals.
Undoubtedly the capability to innovate and to bring innovation successfully to market will be a crucial determinant of the global competitiveness of nations over the coming decade. There is growing awareness among policymakers that innovative activity is the main driver of economic progress and well-being as well as a potential factor in meeting global challenges in domains such as the environment and health. Not only has innovation moved to centre-stage in economic policy making, but there is a realisation that a co-ordinated, coherent, “whole-of-government” approach is required.
Germany is one of the countries leading innovation development not only in the EU, but also on the world stage. Its innovative system is distinguished by a high level of efficiency and productivity, focused on modern development trends. Certain features of the innovative development of Germany and the role of state regulation in it will highlight positive lessons for Ukraine and implement the German experience at the national level.
La falta de unidad significativa de los derechos fundamentales como posible causa de su desprotección
Authors: Huerta Gutiérrez Leonardo
Published: February 2019

La protección de los Derechos Fundamentales constituye la base estructurante de la forma de organización política “Estado Social de Derecho”, no obstante, en la actualidad, este tipo de dere-chos resulta desprotegido, a pesar de los diferentes mecanismos existentes para su guarda. Las causas de dicha desprotección en Colombia resultan ser múltiples, entre ellas hemos iden-tificado la falta de unidad significativa en el concepto “Derechos Fundamentales”, estableciendo la génesis de dicho problema en la Constitución misma, donde encontramos al menos 14 formas de nominar este tipo de derechos, problema que se expande a las sentencias de la Corte Constitucional donde se amparan derechos que podrían no ajustarse a lo que debería entenderse por “Derechos Fundamentales”; agravándose el conflicto lingüístico planteado con las Leyes sobre la materia, y más aun con la Doctrina de los estudiosos del tema. Generándose una especia de torre de Babel, que conduce a una deficiente protección de los Derechos Fundamentales por parte de las autoridades a las que se confía su protección.
