Formarea şi structura microflorei intestinale
Authors:   Facultatea de Medicină, Universitatea Transilvania, Braşov, România, Buzinschi Sorin
Published: May 2020

Populaţia bacteriană a tractului digestiv matur este cuprinsă în principal în 2 încrengături: Bacteriodetes şi Firmicutes. Formarea microbiotei intestinale parcurge o evoluţie stadială. Colonizarea bacteriană se consideră recent că începe in utero. Prezenţa bacteriilor în ţesutul placentar, în membranele fetale, lichidul amniotic şi în sângele cordonului ombilical la feţi şi nou-născuţi sănătoşi sugerează contactul precoce cu lumea bacteriană ca prim pas de instrucţie imunologică. Colonizarea tractului digestiv este continuată şi amplificată după naştere. Naşterea pe cale vaginală induce o populare intestinală care reflectă structura florei vaginale materne. Microbiota intestinală a născuţilor prin cezariană este dominată de flora cutanata şi orală maternă, însă cuprinde şi ecosistemul cutanat al personalului medical şi germeni provenind de pe suprafeţe. Laptele matern conţine bacterii vii provenind din ductele mamare, areolă, dar mai ales din intestinul matern, acesta fiind o sursă de colonizare naturală a intestinului neonatal. Popularea bacterienă fiziologică a intestinului modulează expresia genelor epiteliului pentru toleranţă imunologică, furnizează nutrimente gazdei şi contribuie la maturarea imunităţii sistemice.

Introducere. Greutatea la naştere rămâne cel mai important indice antropometric al nou-născutului. Restricţia de creştere intrauterină (RCIU) stă la baza mortinatalităţii, dar şi la baza afecţiunilor metabolice şi cardiovasculare la adult. În acest studiu este evaluată relaţia între restricţia de creştere intrauterină, dezvoltarea antropometrică şi dinamica unor parametri ai sindromului metabolic până la vârsta de cinci ani. Material şi metodă. Studiul s-a desfăşurat pe o perioadă de 4 ani (2010-2013) pe un lot de 622 de nou-născuţi cu RCIU fără patologie în perioada neonatală. Starea de nutriţie s-a evaluat prin determinarea greutăţii, taliei, indicelui de masă corporală (IMC) cu încadrarea valorilor obţinute pe curbele de creştere în funcţie de vârstă şi sex propuse de Organizaţia Mondială a Sănătăţii şi a fost comparată cu statusul nutriţional al unui lot de 627 nou-născuţi cu RCIU internaţi în Terapie Intensivă Neonatală. Valorile trigliceridelor şi glicemiei preprandiale au fost evaluate şi comparate cu valorile normale pentru vârstă. Rezultate. Incidenţa obezităţii (16.1%) este semnificativ crescută (χ2=32,23, p<<0,01, 95%CI). 57,6% dintre subiecţi au indice de masă corporală peste limita normală, iar incidenţa supraponderalităţii creşte odată cu vârsta (29% la 2 ani versus 56,7% la 5 ani). Incidenţa obezităţii scade odată cu creşterea vârstei (32,9% la 2 ani vs. 9,1% la 5 ani). În ceea ce priveşte sindromul metabolic, 18% dintre subiecţi au prezentat hiperglicemie, iar valorile colesterolului şi trigliceridelor (f=10,34, p=0,00001, 95%CI) cresc odată cu vârsta. 32,8% dintre copii au prezentat valori ale colesterolului mai mari decât pragul maxim al intervalului normal de 170 mg/dl. Concluzie. Incidenţa supraponderalităţii şi obezităţii este mai mare în lotul de nou-născuţi cu RCIU faţă de populaţia generală. Este necesară stabilirea relaţiei dintre obiceiurile alimentare şi parametri studiaţi, relaţie care ar putea elucida trendul ascendent al greutăţii şi parametrilor biochimici (trigliceride şi colesterol) în rândul populaţiei incluse în studiu.

Objectives. In this study we investigated if the cerebral oxygenation measurements before and after the packed red blood cell transfusions (PRBC) can answer the question: was transfusion beneficial? Can the measurements derived from NIRS (near infrared spectroscopy) be useful for the identification of more objective criteria for the transfusion guidelines? Patients and methods. This is a prospective observational study, performed in the period July 2017 – March 2018, in the 3th neonatal intensive care unit. It enrolled 44 preterm infants, with a weight ≤ 1250 g and gestational age ≤ 30 weeks, randomized by the PRBC transfusion in transfused group (n = 29) and non-transfused group (n = 15). The preterm infants that needed transfusion were NIRS monitored before (continuous monitoring 24 h), during and 24 h after the transfusion. The non-transfused patients were also monitored with cerebral regional pulse-oximetry at postnatal age, and under clinical conditions similar to the transfused group. Results. The values of the cerebral and systemic oximetry were comparable for the two groups when comparing the results before transfusion. Regarding the effects of transfusions, results showed a significant increase of cerebral tissue oxygenation (CrSO2) even during the 4 hours of transfusion, an effect maintained 24 hours following transfusion: postransfusional mean CrSO2 = 80±2, p value 0.019. Moreover, the values of the fractional cerebral tissue oxygen extraction begin to decrease during transfusion, and they remain low for the next 24 h as well 0.25±0.05 vs 0.15±0.02 – p value <0.013. Conclusions. PRBC transfusion in clinically stable very low birth weight preterm leads to the transient increase of CrSO2 and transient decrease of FTOE. Our data support the use of measurements derived from NIRS (FTOE) for the identification of the sub-clinical imbalance in O2 delivery and consumption as objective measurement in anemic preterm infants.

Ecografia joacă un rol foarte important în monitorizarea și modularea tratamentului substitutiv cu factor VIII al acestor pacienți confirmând momentul obținerii remisiunii complete clinico-imagistice.
The Three Queenslands
Authors: Taylor Greg
Published: May 2020

From 1890 to 1892, Sir Samuel Griffith, as Premier of Queensland, promoted a scheme under which Queensland would itself have been divided into a federation of initially three provinces — North, Central and South Queensland — and then two provinces, North and South Queensland. This startling idea would certainly have changed the map of Australia, probably permanently. At least at some points, the idea was expressed that each province would enter the Australian federation as a separate State and the Queensland federal government would simply be dissolved upon federation. The Bill to divide Queensland into a federation of two provinces passed the lower House of State Parliament but was defeated in the nominee Legislative Council. It then fell victim to the change of government consequent upon Griffith’s appointment as Chief Justice of Queensland, to the urgent problems presented by the economic depression, and even, from the conservative point of view, to the rise of labour in politics. Little has been known about this nearly successful plan until now. This article attempts to close that gap.
Enjeux et perspectives de développement en Nouvelle-Calédonie
Authors: Dumas Pascal
Published: May 2020

La Nouvelle-Calédonie, territoire français d’outre-mer, en vertu de l'accord de Nouméa, qui a instauré depuis 1998 un processus progressif de décolonisation négociée, doit se prononcer dans les trois années à venir sur son avenir institutionnel. Dans cette perspective, la question des modalités de développement du territoire, dont l’économie repose sur l’exploitation des ressources minières et les transferts financiers de l’État français, doit se poser. Cet article, après avoir rappelé le poids de l’industrie minière, principal moteur du développement et de l’organisation socio-spatiale du pays, s’interroge sur les opportunités de diversification de l’économie calédonienne. Il dresse dans ce sens, un panorama des principaux pôles d’activité porteurs susceptibles de stimuler l’économie dans les années à venir. Un focus est ainsi proposé sur le tourisme, la pêche, l’aquaculture et l’agriculture.
La terre-mer , enjeu de territoires et de légitimités en Nouvelle-Calédonie
Authors: Dégremont Marlène , Sabinot Catherine
Published: May 2020

Le concept de la terre-mer reflète l’absence de discontinuité entre la terre et la mer en Océanie. En Nouvelle-Calédonie, territoire ultra-marin français dans un processus de décolonisation négociée, la terre-mer , habitée et pratiquée par les Kanak ainsi que d’autres communautés, est aujourd’hui l’objet de nouvelles problématisations environnementales génératrices de nouveaux dispositifs aux spatialisations diverses (aires marines protégées, règles de gestion d’espèces emblématiques…). En s’appuyant sur des données ethnographiques collectées entre 2013 et 2019, cet article propose d’examiner comment les formes de territorialisations kanak plutôt réticulaires, révélant les manières d’être en lien chez les Kanak, s’arrangent ou se confrontent avec les dispositifs de politiques publiques touchant le lagon et l’océan.
L’influence du territoire sur les caractéristiques des réseaux d’innovation
Authors: Favre-Bonté Véronique , Gardet Elodie , Perrin-Malterre Clémence , Thévenard-Puthod Catherine
Published: May 2020

Cet article étudie l’influence exercée par le territoire sur les caractéristiques des réseaux d’innovation. Pour ce faire, nous avons retenu comme terrain d’étude le tourisme de montagne. Les profondes mutations que connait cette industrie obligent ses acteurs à s’adapter et à mettre en place des réseaux d’innovation. En outre, le tourisme en montagne s’exerce sur des territoires de nature différente, les caractéristiques de ces derniers n’étant pas les mêmes selon que l’on se situe dans une station de haute altitude ou de moyenne montagne. Il s’agit donc d’un secteur particulièrement propice à l’étude de l’influence du territoire sur le développement des innovations en réseau. Notre question de recherche est donc la suivante : le territoire exerce-t-il une influence sur les configurations des réseaux d’innovation ? Nos résultats montrent qu’en fonction du territoire, les réseaux qui portent les innovations diffèrent en termes de nature des relations entre acteurs, de rayonnement géographique et de mode de régulation utilisé. En revanche, le type de station ne semble pas influencer l’architecture du réseau puisque tous les réseaux étudiés possèdent un pivot chargé d’orchestrer les partenaires. Classification JEL  : L83.

La mise en place de l’Académie de l’OMS à Lyon
Authors: Vallet Benoît
Published: May 2020

Le projet de création de l’Académie de la santé de l’Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) est né de la volonté de son directeur général (DG), le Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, d’engager une réforme de la pratique de formation de l’organisation. L’Académie de la santé de l’OMS est donc la future structure de formation que l’OMS va développer afin de faire de la formation en santé mondiale le vecteur principal de son action pour l’atteinte des objectifs du « triple milliard » du treizième programme général de travail de l’Organisation. Le DG de l’OMS a fait clairement de ce projet de formation tout au long de la vie l’une des priorités de son mandat. Le tableau 1 (voir p. 78), extrait d’un document de travail de l’OMS intitulé « Projet de plan d’affaires de l’Académie de l’OMS » , résume les changements stratégiques envisagés par l’Organisation dans la formation au service de la santé mondiale.
Effect of Psychoeducation on Stress in Parents of Children With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: A Randomized Controlled Study
Authors: Gümüs Funda , Ergün Gül , Dikeç Gül
Published: May 2020

The current experimental pre-/posttest study sought to determine the effect of psychoeducation on the stress levels of parents of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A total of 172 parents participated and were randomly assigned to experimental (
n
= 86) and control (
n
= 86) groups. There was no significant difference between mean pretest scores of parents in the experimental and control groups on the Caregiver Stress Scale (
p
> 0.005); however, significant differences were found between pre- and posttest scores in the experimental group after psychoeducation and at 6-month follow up (
p
< 0.001). There were also significant differences between pre- and posttest scores and pretest scores and 6-month follow-up scores in the experimental group (
p
< 0.05). In the light of the findings, psychiatric nurses can use psychoeducation programs to support families of children with ADHD to reduce their stress levels. [

Metabolomic Analysis in Corneal Lenticules From Contact Lens Wearers
Authors: Li Min , Liu Lin , Qu Chen , Shi Yuehui , Sun Lina , Zhou Xingtao , Zou Jun
Published: May 2020

PURPOSE:

To investigate the mechanisms of pathological changes in corneal stroma and the wearing time of soft contact lenses using the metabolomic method.

METHODS:

Laser scanning confocal microscopy was used to evaluate the pathological changes of corneal stroma between wearing time groups before small incision lenticule extraction. After small incision lenticule extraction, 190 corneal stroma samples were obtained, and a metabolomic method using high performance liquid chromatography coupled with time of flight mass spectrometry was established to analyze the changes in metabolites between wearing time groups.

RESULTS:

Laser scanning confocal microscope results demonstrated that the corneal nerve fiber length, the number of corneal anterior stromal cells, and the number of corneal posterior stromal cells were reduced gradually with increasing wearing time. The metabolomic study demonstrated that 11 biomarkers were identified between patients who did and did not wear soft contact lenses and 6 biomarkers were identified between less than 5 years and more than 5 years of wearing time. These biomarkers participate in energy metabolism, lipid metabolism, inflammatory reactions, and neuroprotecton processes, and partially lead to the pathology of dry eyes, eye inflammation, and corneal nerve fiber length decrease. Five biomarkers in the citrate cycle metabolism pathway were found demonstrating that energy metabolism was seriously disturbed.

CONCLUSIONS:

This study systematically revealed the metabolite mechanism for eye discomfort and related disease after wearing soft contact lenses. The identified biomarkers and related physiology pathways supply a new direction for avoiding the side effects of wearing soft contact lenses.

Visual Outcomes and Subjective Experience After Combined Implantation of Extended Depth of Focus and Trifocal IOLs
Authors: McNeely Richard N. , Moutari Salissou , Palme Christoph , Moore Jonathan E.
Published: May 2020

PURPOSE:

To evaluate postoperative visual performance and patient-reported outcomes following combined implantation of an extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lens (IOL) and a trifocal IOL.

METHODS:

The study enrolled consecutive patients undergoing refractive lens extraction or cataract surgery with combined implantation of an EDOF IOL (dominant eye) and a trifocal IOL in the nondominant eye. Uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuities, uncorrected intermediate (UIVA) and near (UNVA) visual acuities, defocus curves, and subjective questionnaires were evaluated 1 month postoperatively.

RESULTS:

The study enrolled 100 consecutive patients (200 eyes). The postoperative mean binocular UDVA, UIVA, and UNVA were −0.08 ± 0.07, 0.13 ± 0.12, and 0.17 ± 0.11 logMAR, respectively. The percentage of eyes within ±0.50 and ±1.00 diopters of the refractive target was 65% and 96% with EDOF IOLs, and 76% and 99% with trifocal IOLs, respectively. Of all patients, 91% were satisfied or more than satisfied with the procedure, and 87% of patients were spectacle free for near vision. On a scale from 0 (not at all) to 3 (very), mean scores of 0.52 ± 0.83, 0.71 ± 0.83, and 0.34 ± 0.73 were reported for glare, halos, and starbursts. The mean daytime and nighttime Quality of Vision scores were 9.13 ± 0.91 and 7.96 ± 1.57, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS:

The combination of an EDOF IOL and a trifocal IOL provides good unaided visual acuity for distance and near. This IOL combination provides high postoperative satisfaction and functional vision, but some early visual side effects were reported.

Protection of Personal Data Regulation and Public Liberties
Authors: Neves Ana
Published: May 2020

The Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data is much more than a personal data regulation. It has a wide range of impacts, of different nature: substantive, procedural, and organisational ones. In each of these dimensions, it is the personal autonomy and the equilibrium of the relationship of individuals with those processing their data that are at stake, hence, the centrality that individual rights over their own data shall have. Nonetheless, the access, the flow, and the free movement of information, including personal data, are the essential foundations of a free and democratic society in which the freedoms and rights of individuals are guaranteed. Despite having the necessary premises to guarantee it, the GDPR carries the risk of being used by public authorities to condition the space for public freedoms.
Is There Anything Left of the Portuguese Law Implementing the GDPR?
Authors: Canto Moniz Graça
Published: May 2020

The entry into force of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was expected to cause difficulties to data controllers and data processors mostly due to the practical consequences of the accountability principle and the role of risk. However, in Portugal, there were supplementary problems triggered by two events: the long legislative process of the national law implementing the GDPR and the decision of the national supervisory authority to disapply nine provisions of it. In August 2019, the Portuguese Parliament adopted the law implementing the GDPR, Law 58/2019, and one month later, the Portuguese supervisory authority, Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados, decided that nine articles of the recently adopted national law were incompatible with European Union Law. This chapter aims to address this chain of events, to understand the reasoning behind the decision of the Portuguese authority, and to tackle its practical consequences to day-to-day data-processing activities of data controllers and data processors. Overall, it also aims to evaluate what is left of the national piece of legislation after this decision.
Biometric Data in the EU (Reformed) Data Protection Framework and Border Management
Authors: Casiraghi Simone , Calvi Alessandra
Published: May 2020

Biometrics technologies have been spreading cross-sector in the public and private domains. Their potential intrusiveness, in particular regarding privacy and data protection, has called the European legislators, in the recent EU data protection reform, to introduce a definition of “biometric data,” and to grant biometric data specific protection, as a “special category of data.” Despite the reformed framework, in the field of border management, the use of biometric data is expected to increase steadily because it is seen as a more efficient and reliable solution. This chapter will look into the reformed data protection and border management legal frameworks to highlight discrepancies between the two, and ultimately assess to what extent the new data protection reformed regime for biometric data is satisfactory.
A Comprehensive Perspective on Data Protection Practices in Organizations
Authors: van Zeeland Ine , Pierson Jo
Published: May 2020

The aim of this chapter is to take readers beyond the prescriptions of the law to present them with a practical perspective on what happens when organizations try to protect personal data. This is based on the acknowledgement that different sectors of society will have different concerns when it comes to the protection of personal data and privacy. The various conceptions of privacy connect a wide variety of academic disciplines, from anthropology to urban planning. We need to understand that there are many different perspectives on what privacy signifies, and hence, that there are many different considerations regarding what to do to protect it.
Where Now for the Right to Be Forgotten?
Authors: Evelyn (Patsy) Kirkwood
Published: May 2020

Increased recognition of the pervasiveness of information collected and accessed has led to concern as to its impact on privacy. The ability to impact people's lives with the easy availability of information that in other eras would have remained hidden or “forgotten” is highlighted by the use of the internet for instant recall. Such information, which organizations often hold for commercial benefit, is increasingly made available through search results or from online archives. This chapter will focus on the impact of the Google Spain case, which was believed to have created a new right to be forgotten, leading to the finalization of Article 17 of the General Data Protection Regulation. The author will then examine more recent cases where the new right has been applied and their impact on defining its scope. In particular, the author will focus on the UK joined cases of NT1 and NT2.

Authors: Pinto-Llorente Ana María
Published: May 2020

The present research is an innovative study that intends to analyse the effectiveness of a b-learning digital ecosystem implemented in the area of English phonetics and phonology. It also aims to highlight the benefits of some transmissive, interactive, and collaborative resources in learning of the subject. It is a quantitative research with an ex-post-facto design, collecting data through a questionnaire. The results demonstrated that pre-service teachers had positive views towards the digital ecosystem to improve their English pronunciation level and their ability to perceive and produce English more accurately. The findings also emphasized the potential of the digital ecosystem to provide a more natural environment for pronunciation practice and a more individualized instruction focused on learners who become active learners generating knowledge.
Collaborative Discussion Using Padlet to Enhance the Teaching and Learning of Essay Writing in Mandarin Language
Authors: Teng Yap Teng , Zainal Azlin Zaiti , Vasodavan Vinothini , Kui-Ling Emily Lau
Published: May 2020

Writing skills demand the best pedagogical practices to engage students who struggle with essay writing. In line with the fast-paced, ever-evolving digital advancement, instructors are encouraged to transform their teaching method by integrating technology to help to improve students' writing skills. To do so, one of the ways is to adopt technological tools such as collaborative learning tools in their writing courses to make learning more interactive, interesting, and stimulating. This research, therefore, attempts to examine how Padlet can be utilized to transform didactic teaching and learning into innovative pedagogy to create new learning experiences for tertiary undergraduates. The undergraduates were instructed to use Padlet in their writing task, and this provides many opportunities for constructive learning through a resource-based approach where undergraduates learn from one another and the instructor shows well-written examples or incorrect sentences posted by the undergraduates.
Distraction at Mobile Learning Environments
Authors: Abdelaziz Ahmed Mokhtar
Published: May 2020

This chapter focuses on distraction at mobile learning environments from different perspectives. It is hoped that this chapter will contribute to the academic discussion on this topic by exploring whether the term ‘distraction' accurately describes learners' tendencies to leave the formal, standard, or prescribed content and access the non-standard applications and websites during the academic attempts. This chapter will also introduce a more in-depth discussion on the root causes that drive learners' deviation to the non-standard applications and websites. Furthermore, it will propose and discuss some emerging arguments such as converting ‘learning distractions' into ‘learning attractions' in a way that might enhance the academic discussion on theory and practice of mobile learning research. Finally, it will introduce three effective techniques and strategies that have the potential to control distractions in mobile learning environments.
Enforceability of Contract Terms Displayed on Social Media
Authors: Hughes Gordon
Published: May 2020

It is a prerequisite for the use of virtually any social media that the user enter into a contract with the provider. Typically, the user is required to click “OK” or “I accept” at the foot of a lengthy set of online terms and conditions. Sometimes contracts of this nature are described as “clickwrap” or “browsewrap” agreements. Given that a majority of users will typically not read the terms and conditions or, if they do, will feel they have no option but to accept them, and given further that service providers are aware that this is the case, the question arises as to whether and to what extent such terms and conditions are, or should be, in fact, legally enforceable. This chapter explores relevant Australian and overseas case law and commentary dealing with this modern social media legal phenomenon.
Online Self-Presentation Strategies Among Social Networking Sites' Users in the United Arab Emirates
Authors: Ahmed Azza Abdel-Azim M.
Published: May 2020

This study explored the strategies of self-presentation (ingratiation, supplication, and enhancement) among United Arab Emirates users (n=230) of popular social networking sites (SNS). The size of social networks, degree of network connectivity, and perceptions of self-presentation success were examined. The results indicated a significant positive correlation between the frequency of SNS use and ingratiation and enhancement strategies. Greater diversity of online friends among the respondents was positively associated with the perception of online self-presentation success. Males and females differed in the size of the online social network they interacted with, diversity of online friends, and preferred self-presentation strategies. However, no significant gender differences were found in the levels of network connectivity and perceptions of self-presentation success.
The Project and the Action-Oriented Approach to Submerge Literature in Reality in Foreign Languages Teaching
Authors: Filhol Benoit
Published: May 2020

The role of literature in foreign languages teaching is not a matter of debate today. If we observe the number of publications and conferences organized on the theme of teaching literature in foreign languages in recent years, we quickly realize that this is a dynamic field and constantly evolving. However, this vitality is not found in textbooks where literature still does not have the presence that teaching discourses which justify it grant it. In addition to providing some reasons for this disaffection, this chapter intends to use the latest teaching developments attempting especially to advance on the theoretical reflection about the articulation of the action-oriented approach and literature teaching through project-based teaching method. First, the authors try to justify the use of the project, and then they notify the theoretical mutation that this practice requires, before dealing with the types of project that may integrate FL classes. Finally, they look at how it should be structured to ensure that teaching take into account all dimensions of literature.

Several industries are looking for smart methods to increase their production throughput and operational efficiency at the lowest cost, reduced risk, and reduced spending of resources considering demands from stakeholders, governments, and competitors. To achieve this, industries are looking for possible solutions to the above problems by adopting emerging technologies. A foremost concept that is setting the pace and direction for many sectors and services is Industry 4.0. The focus is on augmenting machines and infrastructure with wireless connectivity, sensors, and intelligent systems to monitor, visualize, and communicate incidences between different entities for decision making. An aspect of physical asset management that has been enormously influenced by the new industrial set-up is the maintenance process. This chapter highlights the issues and challenges of Industry 4.0 from maintenance process viewpoint according to EN 60300-3-14. Further, a conceptual model on how maintenance process can be integrated into Industrial 4.0 architecture is proposed to enhance its value.

The main idea of this chapter is to promote maintenance centered to safety, in accordance to adaptive fuzzy inference model, which has online adjustment to working conditions. Input data for this model are quality of service indicators of analyzed engineering system: reliability, maintainability, failure consequence, and severity and detectability. Indicators in final form are obtained with permanent monitoring of the engineering system and statistical processing. Level of safety is established by composition and ranking of indicators according to fuzzy inference engine. The problem of monitoring and processing of indicators comprising safety is solved by using the features that Industry4.0 provides. Maintenance centered to safety is important for complex, multi-hierarchy engineering systems. Sudden failures on such systems could have significant financial and environmental effect. Developed model will be tested in the final part of the chapter, in the case study of bucket wheel excavator.

The 1959 Cuban Revolution had intense and long-lasting repercussions in Brazil. To highlight this, it is worth mentioning two recent events that occurred exactly 60 years after that revolutionary triumph: first, the release of the movie Marighella, directed by Wagner Moura, based on the life of the writer and former congressman of the Brazilian Communist Party (Partido Comunista Brasileiro, PCB) Carlos Marighella (1911-1969); second, the speech delivered by President Jair Messias Bolsonaro at the opening of the United Nations (UN) General Assembly, with abundant distribution of insults to the Cuban government.
“Just Listen to What the Panthers Are Saying”
Authors: Carbone Valeria
Published: May 2020

Within the American Black Movement, the Black Panther Party (BPP) became the most prominent and influential organization of the 1960s and 1970s. The movement initiated in Oakland (California) and captured the attention of politicians, journalists, intellectuals, and scholars. From a documentary corpus that shows its protagonists' perspective, this chapter aims to focus on the actions, goals, and development of the Black Panthers: what they did, how and why they did it, and what they represented to the Black freedom struggle. It offers an analysis of their tactics and strategies of struggle against police brutality, poor housing and living conditions, unemployment, poverty, and structural racism. The authors aim to show how the BPP went from being a local grassroots organization to a national and highly popular political party for collective action, much more complex and influential than what the collective memory and the dominant historiography have shown.
Social Movements and Territorial Dynamics in Argentina and Latin America (1980-2018)
Authors: Vommaro Pablo
Published: May 2020

Over the last few decades, Argentina and Latin America have undergone significant processes of social unrest and mobilization. Within the larger context of the various movements and dimensions where social mobilization unfolds, the territory has emerged as an increasingly relevant element for the interpretation of its dynamics, continuities, and transformations. Indeed, the spatialization of political production, which accompanied the processes of spatialization of production and the social life, caused a politicization of space that shaped the territory. Thus, processes developed whereby space becomes politicized and politics becomes territorialized. These features have shaped organizations and demonstrations often led by young people, which has given rise to territorially situated, generational political forms.
An Argentine Social Movement
Authors: Baisotti Pablo Alberto
Published: May 2020

This chapter will focus on the reclaimed Bauen hotel as one of the pioneering manifestations of the SSE in Argentina, as an example of the post-crisis social and solidarity movement of 2001. The evolution of the events related to its establishment will be traced, highlighting some of its particularities. It will also provide a vision of what the SSE represents in Latin America. The question that arises from the study of the Bauen hotel is: Is the solidarity economy presented in the particular case of the Bauen workers a social movement that fights against the government for its rights?
Macroscopic and Microscopic Mechanical Properties of HTPB Coating in Solid Rocket Motor under Cyclic Tension
Authors: Du Yong Qiang , Zheng Jian , Yin Jun Hui
Published: May 2020

Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) coating is continuously affected by environment/load spectrum during storage, and its macro and micro mechanical properties will deteriorate. Therefore, the cyclic tension test of HTPB coating was carried out with the elongation of HTPB coating was 5%, 10% and 15%, the tensile rate was 50mm/min, 100mm/min and 500mm/min, respectively, and the tensile times was 1000, and the macro and micro mechanical properties of the samples after cyclic tension were tested. The results show that the maximum stress that can be reached by each cyclic tension decreases with the increase of cyclic times, which proves that stress relaxation occurs. After cyclic tension, the tensile strength and cross-linking density of HTPB coating decrease with the increase of elongation and raise with the increase of tensile rate. There is a good linear correlation between cross-linking density and tensile strength.
Effect of TBPF Microencapsulated Ammonium Polyphosphate on the Properties of Thermoplastic Polyurethane Elastomer
Authors: Gao Wei Ying
Published: May 2020

In our previous work, ammonium polyphosphate (APP) microcapsule with the shell of boron modified phenolic resin (BPF) was prepared, recorded as BPFAPP. However, the compatibility and the flame retardancy of BPFAPP in thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) are still not very good due to the brittle and hard shell wall. To improve the brittleness of microcapsules shell and the property reinforcements of APP in TPU, APP was encapsulated with the tung oil and boron modified phenolic resin (TBPF) in this paper, recorded as TBPFAPP. The property reinforcements of TBPFAPP in TPU were studied. The thermogravimetry, limiting oxygen index and cone calorimetry analysis showed that TPU/TBPFAPP composite had higher char yield and better flame resistance. The tensile strength and elongation at break showed that the mechanical properties were also significantly improved due to the introduction of α-Eleostearate.
Characteristics of Magneto-Rheological Elastomer under Stick-Slip Condition
Authors: Lee Kwang Hee , Lee Chul Hee
Published: May 2020

This paper examines the characteristics of stick-slip phenomena between the glass plate and Magneto-Rheological Elastomer (MRE) surface. Stick-slip phenomena are the spontaneous jerking motion that occurs while two objects are sliding over each other, usually accompanied by noise. Stick-slip is generated when it involves discontinuous frictional degradation when moving from static friction to dynamic friction. The phenomena can lead to uneven wear patterns, vibration and squeal noise which cause a shorter lifespan for the corresponding mechanical elements. MREs are kind of function materials to consist of a polymeric matrix with embedded ferromagnetic particles. Mechanical properties of the MREs can be controlled by the application of magnetic fields. The magnetic field-based controllability can be applied to the control of stick-slip phenomena. The friction experiment is conducted with the Reciprocating Friction Tester (RFT). The sliding speed of the RFT should be in low-speed conditions in order to make the stick-slips relatively easy to occur. A uniform magnetic field and a weight load are applied to the MRE sample to observe the effect of various experimental parameters on the movement of the stick-slip. In addition, frictional sounds due to the stick-slip phenomenon under different loads and magnetic field strength are measured and analyzed. The results of this experiment show that as the strength of the magnetic field increases, the difference in stiffness between the wipers-glass decreases, mitigating fricatives. The result is expected to be well applied to low-noise automotive wipers based on the controllability of friction behavior and squeal noise.

Design and synthesis of supramolecular hybrids with low dimensionality is currently an attractive research topic. The reaction of Schiff base metal complex with isopolymolybdate leads to the isolation of a new isopolymolybdate based supramolecular hybrid, [Mn(salen)(H2O)2]2[Mo8O26]Na2·2H2O (1) (salen = N,N'-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine). The supramolecular hybrid was characterized by single crystal X-ray structure analyses, elemental analyses and X-ray crystallography. Crystal data for 1: triclinic, P-1, a=10.0206(8)Å, b = 11.7416(10)Å, c= 13.1494(13)Å, V = 1382.8(2)Å3, Z= 1, Rgt(F) = 0.0353 and wRref(F2) = 0.1009. Structural analyses reveal that 1 represents the first example of [Mo8O26]4- chains formed POM-Schiff-base hybrid. Hirshfeld surface analysis and fingerprint plots are used for decoding intermolecular interactions in 1. Additionally, magnetic property of 1 indicates that there is an antiferromagnetic coupling between the metal centers in the complex.
