Circular economy and innovative business
Authors: Loizidou Α. , Argyri P.
Published: June 2020

Taking into consideration the financial and environmental conditions of our era, I want to combine the “Functional Goals” that every business has, such as the pursuit of profit, the increase of its production and the social responsibility, with the innovation, the sustainable development, the protection of the environment and the rules of the well-known “circular economy”. In these terms in this paper, I present the project of an innovative business called “No Recycling Decoration”, to transfer the message that young people can make responsible decisions for their future.
SARS-CoV-2 and hypokalaemia: evidence and implications
Authors: Mabillard Holly , Sayer John A.
Published: June 2020

The global pandemic secondary to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is leading to unprecedented global morbidity and mortality. With a bewildering array of complications, renal involvement in various forms is common, including serum electrolyte derangements. Hypokalaemia secondary to SARS-CoV-2 was common in a reported Chinese cohort. Here we review the emerging evidence on hypokalaemia and SARS-CoV-2 infection, the potential pathophysiological mechanisms based on early clinical and histopathological data and important clinical implications. Mechanisms of hypokalaemia are multifactorial and so the electrolyte disturbance can be difficult to avoid. We provide further support to the theory of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAS) activation, discuss the strengths and weaknesses of implicating RAS involvement and highlight the importance of calculating the transtubular potassium gradient to identify those at risk of hypokalaemia and its complications.

Published: June 2020

Background: Contextual factors such as an intervention’s setting are key to understanding how interventions to change behaviour have their effects and patterns of generalisation across contexts. The intervention’s setting is not consistently reported in published reports of evaluations. Using ontologies to specify and classify intervention setting characteristics enables clear and reproducible reporting, thus aiding replication, implementation and evidence synthesis. This paper reports the development of a Setting Ontology for behaviour change interventions as part of a Behaviour Change Intervention Ontology, currently being developed in the Wellcome Trust funded Human Behaviour-Change Project.

Methods: The Intervention Setting Ontology was developed following methods for ontology development used in the Human Behaviour-Change Project: 1) Defining the ontology’s scope, 2) Identifying key entities by reviewing existing classification systems (top-down) and 100 published behaviour change intervention reports (bottom-up), 3) Refining the preliminary ontology by literature annotation of 100 reports, 4) Stakeholder reviewing by 23 behavioural science and public health experts to refine the ontology, 5) Assessing inter-rater reliability of using the ontology by two annotators familiar with the ontology and two annotators unfamiliar with it, 6) Specifying ontological relationships between setting entities and 7) Making the Intervention Setting Ontology machine-readable using Web Ontology Language (OWL) and publishing online.

Results: The Intervention Setting Ontology consists of 72 entities structured hierarchically with two upper-level classes: Physical setting including Geographic location, Attribute of location (including Area social and economic condition, Population and resource density sub-levels) and Intervention site (including Facility, Transportation and Outdoor environment sub-levels), as well as Social setting. Inter-rater reliability was found to be 0.73 (good) for those familiar with the ontology and 0.61 (acceptable) for those unfamiliar with it.

Conclusion: The Intervention Setting Ontology can be used to code information from diverse sources, annotate the setting characteristics of existing intervention evaluation reports and guide future reporting.
Delivering Behaviour Change Interventions: Development of a Mode of Delivery Ontology
Authors: Marques Marta M. , Carey Rachel N. , Norris Emma , Evans Fiona , Finnerty Ailbhe N. , Hastings Janna , Jenkins Ella , Johnston Marie , West Robert , Michie Susan
Published: June 2020

Background: Investigating and improving the effects of behaviour change interventions requires detailed and consistent specification of all aspects of interventions. An important feature of interventions is the way in which these are delivered, i.e. their mode of delivery. This paper describes an ontology for specifying the mode of delivery of interventions, which forms part of the Behaviour Change Intervention Ontology, currently being developed in the Wellcome Trust funded Human Behaviour-Change Project.

Methods: The Mode of Delivery Ontology was developed in an iterative process of annotating behaviour change interventions evaluation reports, and consulting with expert stakeholders. It consisted of seven steps: 1) annotation of 110 intervention reports to develop a preliminary classification of modes of delivery; 2) open review from international experts (n=25); 3) second round of annotations with 55 reports to test inter-rater reliability and identify limitations; 4) second round of expert review feedback (n=16); 5) final round of testing of the refined ontology by two annotators familiar and two annotators unfamiliar with the ontology; 6) specification of ontological relationships between entities; and 7) transformation into a machine-readable format using the Web Ontology Language (OWL) language and publishing online.

Results: The resulting ontology is a four-level hierarchical structure comprising 65 unique modes of delivery, organised by 15 upper-level classes: Informational, Environmental change, Somatic, Somatic alteration, Individual-based/ Pair-based /Group-based, Uni-directional/Interactional, Synchronous/ Asynchronous, Push/ Pull, Gamification, Arts feature. Relationships between entities consist of is_a. Inter-rater reliability of the Mode of Delivery Ontology for annotating intervention evaluation reports was a=0.80 (very good) for those familiar with the ontology and a= 0.58 (acceptable) for those unfamiliar with it.

Conclusion: The ontology can be used for both annotating and writing behaviour change intervention evaluation reports in a consistent and coherent manner, thereby improving evidence comparison, synthesis, replication, and implementation of effective interventions.
You are my death: the shattered temporalities of zombie time
Authors: O'Brien Martin
Published: June 2020

This essay considers the relationship between the experience of life shortening chronic illness and the current COVID-19 crisis. Martin O’Brien uses his experience of living with cystic fibrosis to interrogate the temporal experience of living within a global pandemic. He returns to his concept of zombie time, the temporal experience of living longer than expected, in order to understand the presence of death as a way of life. The essay uses some of O’Brien’s own art practices, and an analysis of his own sick, coughing body in order to think through what it means to live with cystic fibrosis during a pandemic, which mimics much of its features. O’Brien argues that we are currently occupying a widespread zombie time, which frames other people as carriers of death, and that we must find ways of being together in order to survive.
‘Containment, delay, mitigation’: waiting and care in the time of a pandemic
Authors: Baraitser Lisa , Salisbury Laura
Published: June 2020

In this paper we take up three terms – containment, delay, mitigation – that have been used by the UK Government to describe their phased response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the terms refer to a political and public health strategy – contain the virus, flatten the peak of the epidemic, mitigate its effects – we offer a psychosocial reading that draws attention to the relation between time and care embedded in each term. We do so to call for the development of a form of care-ful attention under conditions that tend to prompt action rather than reflection, closing down time for thinking. Using Adriana Cavarero’s notion of ‘horrorism’, in which violence is enacted at precisely the point that care is most needed, we discuss the ever-present possibility of failures within acts of care. We argue that dwelling in the temporality of delay can be understood as an act of care if delaying allows us to pay care-ful attention to violence. We then circle back to a point in twentieth-century history – World War II – that was also concerned with an existential threat requiring a response from a whole population. Our purpose is not to invoke a fantasised narrative of ‘Blitz spirit’, but to suggest that the British psychoanalytic tradition born of that moment offers resources for understanding how to keep thinking while ‘under fire’ through containing unbearable anxiety and the capacity for violence in the intersubjective space and time between people. In conditions of lockdown and what will be a long and drawn-out ‘after life’ of COVID-19, this commitment to thinking in and with delay and containment might help to inhabit this time of waiting – waiting that is the management and mitigation of a future threat, but also a time of care in and for the present.
Having a moment: the revolutionary semiotic of COVID-19
Authors: Flexer Michael J.
Published: June 2020

The time of COVID-19 represents a distinct, but currently under-defined and under-theorised, temporal moment. Using semiotic methods, this paper examines how the mechanical actions of the virus, through becoming social, create a new viral time, heralding an already-arrived new historical epoch. This epoch, which is simultaneously both homogenous and undifferentiated at one tempo, and supercharged with change, events and radically uncertain futurity at another, is riven with revolutionary potential. The existential challenge posed to the faltering socio-economic order is evidenced by a panicked political response combining reactionary attempts to reimpose temporal certainty and fixity, with desperate material concessions to a public suddenly expelled from a previously subsuming dominant productive time of capitalism. As such, this temporal crisis offers the necessary, if not sufficient, moment for profound re-imaginings of our productive and social relations, and an opportunity to look beyond the possible end of the world, and towards the end of capitalism.
Interdependent Altruistic Preference Models
Authors: Simon Jay , Saari Donald , Keller L. Robin
Published: June 2020

Altruistic preferences or the desire to improve the well‐being of others even at one’s own expense can be difficult to incorporate into traditional value and utility models. It is straightforward to construct a multiattribute preference structure for one decision maker that includes the outcomes experienced by others. However, when multiple individuals incorporate one another’s well‐being into their decision making, this creates complex interdependencies that must be resolved before the preference models can be applied. We provide representation theorems for additive altruistic value functions for two-person, n-person, and group outcomes in which multiple individuals are altruistic. We find that in most cases it is possible to resolve the preference interdependencies and that modeling the preferences of altruistic individuals and groups is tractable.
Content Growth and Attention Contagion in Information Networks: Addressing Information Poverty on Wikipedia
Authors: Zhu Kai , Walker Dylan , Muchnik Lev
Published: June 2020

Open collaboration platforms have fundamentally changed the way that knowledge is produced, disseminated, and consumed. Although the community governance and open collaboration model of Wikipedia confers many benefits, its decentralized nature can leave questions of information poverty and skewness to the mercy of the system's natural dynamics. In this paper, we leverage a large-scale natural experiment to gain a causal understanding of how exogenous content contributions to Wikipedia articles affect the attention that they attract and how that attention spills over to other articles in the information network. We find a positive feedback loop: content contribution leads to significant and long-lasting increases of attention and future contribution. Unfortunately, this also suggests that impoverished regions of information networks are likely to remain so in the absence of intervention. However, our analysis reveals a potential solution. Articles in impoverished regions of information networks are particularly positioned to benefit from the phenomenon of attention spillovers. Using a simulation that is calibrated with real-world link traffic of the Wikipedia network, we show that an attention contagion policy, which focuses editorial effort coherently on impoverished regions, can lead to as much as a twofold gain in attention relative to unguided contributions.
Video Killed the Radio Star? Online Music Videos and Recorded Music Sales
Authors: Kretschmer Tobias , Peukert Christian
Published: June 2020

We study how online video platforms affect the sales volume and sales distribution of recorded music. To do so, we study two events that removed and then partially restored access to online music videos for consumers in Germany. Because of a legal dispute, virtually all music videos were blocked from YouTube, which led to a decrease in record sales of about 5%–10%. When the dedicated platform Vevo entered a few years later, record sales increased again by a similar amount. This is effect can be attributed to user-generated content (fan videos and cover versions) as much as to official music videos. Record sales of newcomer artists and mainstream music benefit disproportionally. We discuss the implications for debates on the reform of compulsory licensing rules and copyright.
Shareholders as Creditors of First Resort
Authors: Bodnaruk Andriy , Rossi Marco
Published: June 2020

We show that a firm’s ability to access the public bond market for the first time is greatly improved when habitual dual holders (HDHs)—financial conglomerates that tend to simultaneously hold both equity and bonds of their portfolio firms—are among its shareholders. HDHs are more likely to buy bonds in a bond initial public offering (IPO) and to take larger bond positions than bond investors with no equity in the firm. Greater equity ownership by HDHs is associated with a higher fraction of the issue ending up in the hands of pre-IPO shareholders, lower offering yield spreads, and more covenants overall but fewer covenants that restrict payout to shareholders.

Air Traffic Control Capacity Planning Under Demand and Capacity Provision Uncertainty
Authors: Starita Stefano , Strauss Arne K. , Fei Xin , Jovanović Radosav , Ivanov Nikola , Pavlović Goran , Fichert Frank
Published: June 2020

In air traffic management, a fundamental decision with large cost implications is the planning of future capacity provision. Here, capacity refers to the available man-hours of air traffic controllers to monitor traffic. Airspace can be partitioned in various ways into a collection of sectors, and each sector has a fixed maximum number of flights that may enter within a given time period. Each sector also requires a fixed number of man-hours to be operated; we refer to them as sector-hours. Capacity planning usually takes place a long time ahead of the day of operation to ensure that sufficiently many air traffic controllers are available to manage the flow of aircrafts. However, at the time of planning, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the number and spatiotemporal distribution of nonscheduled flights and capacity provision, the former mainly due to business aviation, and the latter usually stemming from the impact of weather, military use of airspaces, etc. Once the capacity decision has been made (in terms of committing to a budget of sector-hours per airspace to represent long-term staff scheduling), on the day of operation, we can influence traffic by enforcing rerouting and tactical delays. Furthermore, we can modify which sectors to open at a given time (the so-called sector-opening scheme) subject to the fixed capacity budgets in each airspace. The fundamental trade-off is between reducing the capacity provision cost at the expense of potentially increasing displacement cost arising from rerouting or delays. To tackle this, we propose a scalable decomposition approach that exploits the structure of the problem and can take traffic and capacity provision uncertainty into account by working with a large number of traffic scenarios. We propose several decision policies based on the resulting pool of solutions and test them numerically using real-world data.
As denúncias de torturas e torturadoresa partir dos cárceres políticos brasileiros
Authors: Teles Janaína De Almeida
Published: June 2020

O período ditatorial brasileiro foi marcado por notórios abusos aos direitos humanos, perpetrados pelas forças repressivas, dentro de uma intrincada estrutura de poder que uniu órgãos dedicados à vigilância social, unidades militares, polícia civil e política. Neste contexto, a sistematização e divulgação das denúncias acerca dos abusos estatais teve papel determinante no desgaste do regime. Este estudo apresenta o resultado de uma pesquisa de campo em que foram realizadas 107 entrevistas com ex-presos políticos, advogados e militantes de direitos humanos que tiveram atuação relevante no período, com o objetivo de auxiliar a compreensão dos caminhos seguidos para sensibilizar a opinião pública nacional e internacional acerca da extensão da violência estatal que se praticava no Brasil. Estas entrevistas levaram à produção de balanços críticos originais sobre a atuação dos presos políticos e seu legado, os quais são apresentados à luz de referências teóricas pertinentes. Palavras-chave: Ditadura militar. Tortura. Presos políticos.
Os Jovens e o Pentecostalismo: Considerações sobre a identidade da juventude da igreja Assembleia de Deus a partir um estudo de caso na Baixada Fluminense -RJ
Authors: Magalhães Alexander Soares
Published: June 2020

Este artigo pretende apresentar algumas considerações acerca da juventude da igreja Assembleia de Deus a partir do que se propõe chamar de “identidade juvenil assembleiana”. Tal identidade invoca uma simbologia pentecostal “clássica” e, remontando à trajetória da centenária igreja brasileira Assembleia de Deus, se caracteriza pela observância (negociada) aos chamados usos e costumes –visíveis nas vestimentas e hábitos do cotidiano – e por uma resistência aos valores tidos como “do mundo”, categoria nativa construída a partir da oposição ao “que é de Deus”. Ao incentivar o jovem a estabelecer suas diversas formas de sociabilidade entre aqueles que operam nesse código cultural de “separação do mundo”, essa identidade se afirma como um tipo de resistência às chamadas identidades “pós-modernas”, marcadas pela fluidez e multiplicidade. Entretanto, ela se diferencia do que se pode chamar de uma “identidade assembleiana”, ao dialogar com as especificidades típicas da condição juvenil das camadas populares brasileiras, tentando lidar com as dificuldades e dilemas típicos desse grupo, mas sem deixar de marcar sua identidade própria, de acordo com os preceitos da igreja supracitada.Palavras-chave:  Assembleia de Deus. Juventude. Identidade.
A Luta pela Moradia Popular na Zona Portuária do Rio de Janeiro: ocupações, remoções, permanências e novos arranjos pós-Megaeventos Esportivos
Authors: Sant’Anna Maria Josefina Gabriel , Ximenes Luciana Alencar
Published: June 2020

O artigo tem como proposta uma reflexão sobre os conflitos sociais em torno da produção do espaço urbano. Seu foco é a luta pela moradia, enquanto ações diretas dos movimentos sociais urbanos materializada nas ocupações para fins de moradia na zona portuária do Rio de Janeiro, removidas em decorrência da Operação Urbana Consorciada Porto Maravilha, dotada de forte legitimidade graças à recepção dos megaeventos esportivos, para os quais a cidade deveria se transformar em um cenário urbano renovado de grande atratividade e competitividade do capitalismo global. O efeito perverso desta prática materializa-se no processo de remoções das ocupações da antiga área portuária, objeto da presente reflexão, desarticulando um conjunto de territorializações geradas pelos movimentos sociais em luta por moradia neste espaço. Entende-se a questão da moradia como geradora de conflitos de interesses. Por um lado, a demanda latente pela permanência e melhoria das condições de habitação das classes populares na zona portuária, por outro, a atuação da Operação Porto Maravilha, pautada pelos interesses do grande capital na renovação e sofisticação da área portuária e na atração de novos moradores, a partir dos novos empreendimentos habitacionais. As  ocupações ali existentes constituíam um sério obstáculo a tais intenções. O presente recorte busca avaliar os impactos socioespaciais desta prática de remoções de ocupações, no momento da implementação do Projeto Porto Maravilha, bem como, em momento posterior à realização dos Megaeventos Esportivos.Palavras-chave: Ocupações.

Authors: Wei Daikang , Zhu Yajun , Liu Jilin , Gong Qiucheng , Kaufmann Martin , Olschewski Friedhelm , Knieling Peter , Xu Jiyao , Koppmann Ralf , Riese Martin
Published: June 2020

We report on a thermally stable monolithic Doppler asymmetric spatial heterodyne (DASH) interferometer with field-widening prisms for thermospheric wind measurements by observing the Doppler shift of the airglow emission. Analytical deduction and numerical simulation are applied to determine the central optical path difference, the thermal compensation condition and the field-widening design. A monolithic interferometer with optimized configuration was built and tested in the laboratory. Laboratory tests show that the best visibility of 0.94 was realized with the 9 ° field-of-view illumination, while the thermal responses of the spatial frequency and the optical phase offset are 0.0154 cm−1/°C and 0.469 rad/°C, respectively.
Agile frequency transformations for dense wavelength-multiplexed communications
Authors: Lu Hsuan-Hao , Qi Bing , Williams Brian P. , Lougovski Pavel , Weiner Andrew M. , Lukens Joseph M.
Published: June 2020

The broad bandwidth and spectral efficiency of photonics has facilitated unparalleled speeds in long-distance lightwave communication. Yet efficient routing and control of photonic information without optical-to-electrical conversion remains an ongoing research challenge. Here, we demonstrate a practical approach for dynamically transforming the carrier frequencies of dense wavelength-division–multiplexed data. Combining phase modulators and pulse shapers into an all-optical frequency processor, we realize both cyclic channel hopping and 1-to-N broadcasting of input data streams for systems with N = 2 and N = 3 users. Our method involves no optical-to-electrical conversion and enables low-noise, reconfigurable routing of fiber-optic signals with in principle arbitrary wavelength operations in a single platform, offering new potential for low-latency all-optical networking.
Thermal bleaching of BACs in bismuth/erbium co-doped fiber fabricated through 3D silica lithography
Authors: Zhang Bowen , Chu Yushi , Fu Xinghu , Wei Shuen , Wang Jiaying , Luo Yanhua , Peng Gang-Ding
Published: June 2020

Bismuth/erbium co-doped optical fiber fabricated through 3D silica lithography is thermally treated with various conditions. Then the thermal treatment effect on bismuth active centers (BACs) in this fiber is investigated. The thermal bleaching of the BAC associated with Al and the BAC associated with Si is observed after thermal treatment at high temperatures (300°C–800°C). It is found that the absorption and luminescence of BACs dramatically decrease after the thermal treatment, even totally bleaching at 700°C. The results show that the temperature and dwell time have significant effects on the thermal bleaching and activation of BACs. The underlying mechanisms of these thermal-induced effects are further discussed.

La concentración de partículas en el aire: análisis estadístico de la relación espacial entre medidas de superficie y del sensor MODIS para dos tipos de tiempo en la Comunidad de Madrid
Authors: Moreno Jiménez Antonio , Cañada Torrecilla Rosa , Méndez Arranz David
Published: June 2020

Los sensores remotos están monitoreando la contaminación de la atmósfera planetaria y generando una abundante información sobre los aerosoles / partículas, entre otros componentes, como sucede con el sensor MODIS y su indicador Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD). Su cotejo con las clásicas medidas en estaciones de superficie suscita problemas de discordancias entre ambos tipos de datos. Asumiendo que debería existir una relación positiva entre ellas, en este trabajo se acomete un análisis sistemático de datos para dos tipos de tiempo, especialmente proclives a altas concentraciones de partículas en el aire en la región de Madrid, para evaluar la intensidad de la correlación entre AOD y PM10 superficial y explorar sus posibles variaciones en función de ciertas variables atmosféricas (temperatura, viento y humedad relativa), de los tipos de tiempo y del contexto geográfico de cada estación de medida. En consonancia con los hallazgos de otros autores, los resultados de este trabajo corroboran, en general, la existencia de tal relación positiva, aunque afloran inconsistencias y frecuentes casos en los que la relación estadística se reduce y llega a desvanecerse por razones presumiblemente diversas, entre otras la notable falta de datos.

Aim: Antimicrobial resistance is a global health threat. This study investigated the prevalence of Escherichia coli in imported 1-day-old chicks, ducklings, and turkey poults.

Materials and Methods: The liver, heart, lungs, and yolk sacs of 148 imported batches of 1-day-old flocks (chicks, 45; ducklings, 63; and turkey poults, 40) were bacteriologically examined for the presence of E. coli.

Results: We isolated 38 E. coli strains from 13.5%, 6.7%, and 5.4% of imported batches of 1-day-old chicks, ducklings, and turkey poults, respectively. They were serotyped as O91, O125, O145, O78, O44, O36, O169, O124, O15, O26, and untyped in the imported chicks; O91, O119, O145, O15, O169, and untyped in the imported ducklings; and O78, O28, O29, O168, O125, O158, and O115 in the imported turkey poults. The E. coli isolates were investigated for antibiotic resistance against 16 antibiotics using the disk diffusion method and were found resistant to cefotaxime (60.5%), nalidixic acid (44.7%), tetracycline (44.7%), and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (42.1%). The distribution of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and ampC β-lactamase genes was blaTEM (52.6%), blaSHV (28.9%), blaCTX-M (39.5%), blaOXA-1 (13.1%), and ampC (28.9%).

Conclusion: Imported 1-day-old poultry flocks may be a potential source for the dissemination of antibiotic-resistant E. coli and the ESBL genes in poultry production.
Histopathological evaluation of latex of Bellaco-Caspi, Himatanthus sucuuba (Spruce) Woodson on wound healing effect in BALB/C mice
Authors: Calero-Armijos Lisbeth Lucia , Herrera-Calderon Oscar , Arroyo-Acevedo Jorge Luis , Rojas-Armas Juan Pedro , Hañari-Quispe Renán Dilton , Figueroa-Salvador Linder
Published: June 2020

Background and Aim: Himatanthus sucuuba (Spruce) Woodson (Apocynaceae) is a medicinal plant known as "Bellaco- Caspi" widely distributed in Loreto, Peru. In the Peruvian traditional medicine, the latex of the plant is used for the treatment of wounds, inflammation, ulcers, and other ailments. This study aims to evaluate the wound healing effect of the latex of H. sucuuba in BALB/C albino mice.

Materials and Methods: Thirty BALB/C male mice were used for wound healing study. In the experimental procedures, wound skin incision was performed at 2.0 cm in length until subcutaneous on the paravertebral of each animal. Under locally anesthetized with procaine cream, the treatment was conducted. All the mice were divided into three groups, the control group (A), zinc oxide cream (B), and H. sucuuba latex (C). The entire surface of the wound was treated for all the groups, and the treatments were performed daily for 15 days. The experiments were stopped on days 1, 7, and 15, respectively.

Results: The histopathological study of tissues revealed significant changes in wound healing effect in H. sucuuba latex compared to the control and B groups. Consequently, the mice treated with latex showed a significant reduction in epithelialization time and collagen formation. Furthermore, the latex showed a dose-dependent significant reduction of inflammation in the first 24 h of treatment.

Conclusion: BALB/C mice treated with the latex of H. sucuuba possess a wound healing effect that can scientifically prove the traditional use of the plant as a wound healing agent.
Non-Genetic and Genetic Effects on Growth Traits from Birth to 120 days of Age of G2 Sapera Goat
Authors: Anggraeni Anneke , Saputra F , Hafid A , Ishak ABL
Published: June 2020

Information on non-genetic and genetic factors is required in the selection program. Indonesian Research Institute for Animal Production (IRIAP) has been conducting a selection of the growth traits of Sapera goat (50% Saanen, 50% PE).  This research was aimed to study non-genetic and genetic effects on growth traits from birth to the age of 120 days old of the 2nd generation (G2) of Sapera goat.  Data on body weight and measurement were collected from kids at birth (105 head.) to the age of 120 days old (51 head).  The 30 days interval growth data were calculated by linear interpolation. Non-genetic effects were analyzed by General Linear Model for unbalanced data by considering sex, type of birth, the month of kidding, and year of kidding as fixed variables.  The genetic component was analyzed by a mixed linear model by considering sire as a random variable.  Heritability was estimated by the paternal half-sib method. Non-genetic factors mostly had no significant effect (P> 0.05) on body weight and measurement.  The 90 days old and 120 days old males had higher weights than females (P<0.05). Birth type and year of kidding had significant effects (P<0.05) on body weight and some measurements at certain ages. No significant months of kidding effect on the growth traits (P>0.05).  Heritability values of body weight (h2 = 0.11-0.19) and body sizes (h2 = 0.03-0.24) were relatively low. Except high heritability values for birth weight and for body weight at 30 days old (h2 = 0.59 and 0.29), and for hip girth at 30 days old and at 60 days old (h2 = 0.13-0.54).  The growth traits of G2 Sapera kids were affected by sex and year of kidding and slightly influenced by genetic (sires) factors.
Por un materialismo fónico
Authors: Milone Gabriela
Published: June 2020

En el presente trabajo postularemos la categoría de «materialismo fónico», reflexionando desde el pasaje de la voz a la letra (Agamben). Localizaremos diversas poéticas argentinas y latinoamericanas, donde se proyectan escenas singulares de escritura de la voz; escenas que a su vez abren un campo de indagación crítica no idiomática sino de juegos fónicos, de sonidos que coexisten en diversas temporalidades y espacialidades y sobreviven a las normalizaciones de las gramáticas y a los dictados de la retórica. Desde la idea de Barthes del «susurro de la lengua» (esa utopía de una lengua en la formación de un inmenso tejido sonoro donde el significante fónico y vocal no elimina completamente el «sentido» sino que lo aleja como un espejismo) leeremos en diversas escrituras poéticas (Juan Carlos Bustriazo Ortiz, Oscar del Barco, Andrés Ajens, Mauro Césari) la acentuación del nivel fónico por sobre el semántico, tarea que nos permitirá configurar una singular cartografía de lo que denominaremos «ficciones fónicas» donde es posible vislumbrar un campo de fuerzas fónicas en acto en ejercicios vocales donde se escribe la materia de la voz.

This article concerns the fractional diffusion-wave equations in the fractional viscoelastic media for semi-infinite regions that satisfies signalling boundary value problems. Fractional derivative was used in Caputo sense. The analytical solution of the fractional diffusion-wave equation in the fractional viscoelastic media was solved by means of Laplace transform techniques in the term of Wright function for simple form solution. For general parameters, Numerical Inverse Laplace Transforms (NILT) was used to determine the solution.

The ability to combine affixes with other morphemes in the form of polymorphism is interesting to study, because the ability to join with other factors influences the determination of various meanings. The determination of the meaning of an affixed lingual unit must start from the (existing) form and then to the meaning.The study of the form of affixes polymorphic morphemes is based on the application of linguistic theory in the field of morphology, because the data problem is related to the complex morpheme shape. Sources of data depart, both from oral data sources and written data sources, so that existing data are primary and secondary.The results of the data analysis show that the initial data is not data that is directly used as a basis for determining, but must first consider the sentence structure pattern (for the sake of structuring the logic elements and structuring grammatical elements).Keywords: Affixes; shape; morpheme; polymorphism. IntisariKemampuan daya gabung afiks ter- dengan morfem lain dalam bentuk polimorfemis menarik dikaji, sebab dari kemampuan bergabung dengan morfem lain berpengaruh atas penentuan bermacam makna. Penentuan makna satu satuan lingual berunsur afiks ter- harus bermula dari bentuk (yang ada) baru kemudian ke makna.Pengkajian bentuk morfem polimorfemis berunsur afiks ter- bertolak pada penerapan teori linguistik bidang morfologi, sebab persoalan data berkait dengan bentuk morfem kompleks. Sumber data bertolak, baik dari sumber data lisan maupun sumber data tulis, sehingga data yang ada bersifat primer dan sekunder.Hasil analisis data menampakkan bahwa data awal bukan merupakan data yang secara langsung dipakai sebagai bahan pijakan penentuan maka, tetapi harus terlebih dahulu perlu diperhatikan pola struktur kalimatnya (demi kebenaran penataan unsur logika dan penataan unsur tata bahasa).Kata kunci; Afiks; bentuk; morfem; polimorfemis.
Infinite Time and Contingent Beings: Aquinas’s Third Way Revisited
Authors: Gilbert Christopher
Published: June 2020

Many commentators have accused Aquinas of committing either a formal or an informal fallacy in his Third Way argument. I believe it is possible to revise the Third Way argument so as to avoid such errors. I here present a revision of the first part of the Third Way that is (a) immune to the objections most commonly raised against it, (b) consonant with the basic tenets of Thomism, and (c) plausible from a contemporary point of view.
A physically-motivated model describing the dynamic interactions between residual limb and socket in lower limb prostheses

Published: June 2020

The amputee’s well-being and mobility are distinclty related to socket fit and resulting biomechanical interaction between residual limb and prosthetic socket. Understanding the dynamic interactions at the interface may lead to new socket standards. This paper introduces a physically-motivated reduced model of the interface, describing the dynamic interactions between residual limb and prosthetic socket. The model allows to investigate the sensitivity to changes of specific parameters in an isolated matter. A simulation study shows how stress distribution changes if friction coefficients are varied which might advance liner design.
PDMS electrodes for recording and stimulation

The usability of flexible electrodes in moving environment is limited due to different mechanical characteristics of their metallic and polymeric components. To achieve structure compatible electrodes, all used materials need to have similar Young’s moduli as the surrounding tissue. This paper describes the characterization of macroscopic as well as miniaturized electrodes entirely made out of modified silicone (PDMS). Electrochemical, mechanical, biological, optical, and applicative methods were used. It could be shown, that PDMS electrodes are capable to be used for recording electrocardiograms with similar form and amplitude as with standard electrodes.
Engaging Building Automation Data Visualisation Using Building Information Modelling and Progressive Web Application
Authors: Huynh Dat , Nguyen-Ky Sy
Published: June 2020

The integration of the building information modelling (BIM) and assets database has enabled a potential pathway for building stakeholders to add value to the building lifecycle management (BLM) processes. However, the obtaining, storing, processing, and distributing of data have not been ratified in a detailed and semantic manner in any official guideline. This paper suggests a framework for the efficient development of an interoperable visualisation of a building “digital twin” through an intuitive interface, to contribute to the idea above. The framework was applied in two case studies as examples, where rich visualisations of two buildings in the Kanta-Häme region of Finland were constructed using their architectural models and building indoor climate metrics. By constructing an engaging interface, relevant metrics and constant feedback from buildings’ occupants are gathered, meaningful data is selected, processed, and displayed to improve the facility management (FM) process. The yielded result is a progressive web application (PWA), where valuable sets of building performance data are visualised and a promptly communicable channel between owners/occupants and building system is delivered. Further development of this application in practice and research work is also proposed to harness the data-driven monitoring and automation in buildings to the greatest extent.

Published: June 2020

Antibacterial epoxy resins (EP) have great potential in medical and electronic fields. During the process of extracting artemisinin from Artemisia annua, artemisia naphtha (AN) is generated as waste. The components of AN show antibacterial activity, and hence, it is introduced as a novel antibacterial agent in the epoxy matrix. In this study, the properties of epoxy resins with various AN loading were investigated. The results showed that AN/EP composites presented strong antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus at the sterilization ratio of 100% against E. coli and 99.96% against S. aureus, respectively. Meanwhile, the thermal properties (curing temperature and glass transition temperature) of AN/EP composites remained well, and the mechanical property was even improved. Especially, the flexural strength of AN/EP composites could be reinforced by 62.9% when the content of AN was up to 5 wt%. For comparison, Artemisia annua powder (AAP), which was directly smashed from natural A. annua, was also mixed with epoxy resins as an antibacterial agent and showed excellent antibacterial property. Therefore, antibacterial epoxy composites containing A. annua waste as a natural resource with the enhanced mechanical property may have enormous potential in future biological and healthcare fields.
The Indonesian National Scientific Repository: A Case Study of Research Data Sharing
Authors: Anggawira Deka , Mayesti Nina
Published: June 2020

This study discusses the sharing of research data through the Repositori Ilmiah Nasional, the Indonesian national scientific repository, which is managed by the Center for Scientific Data and Documentation, Indonesian Institute of Sciences (Pusat Dokumentasi dan Informasi Ilmiah, Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia, known by the abbreviation PDDI-LIPI). The purpose of this study is to describe the process of research data sharing and identify supporting factors and obstacles faced in that process. This study uses a qualitative approach, with a case study method. Data collection techniques included field observations and observations on the repository system; semi-structured interviews with several informants, including researchers as well as development and librarian teams; and, analysis of policy documents and guidelines. Through these investigations, we discovered that while the Center has developed a new DataVerse repository system to enable research data sharing, there are still several issues that impede the repository from meeting institutional goals for increased data access. There is a need for additional training and socialization of researchers, to encourage and motivate them to share their research data through this service. Additionally, staff members need to gain competence in the management and curation of data. Researchers and librarians involved in research data sharing activities still face various obstacles in the areas of policy, service visibility, and promotion. This research is expected to increase the awareness of researchers, librarians, and repository development teams about each other’s needs and to aid them in collaborating with each other to optimize the sharing of research of data through the repository.
