Whose nostalgia? Differentiation in German television’s audience address
Authors: Weissmann Elke
Published: November 2021

Nostalgia is often examined as an element of the text. In this contribution, I argue that texts offer a number of spectator positions that can be perceived as nostalgic if the viewer has accumulated certain life experiences that render them so. Examining Babylon Berlin, I argue that the programme offers a spectator position that can look at its Weimar of 1929 anxiously and nostalgically. This is a spectator position that assumes a viewer who is likely to be from the former West and who likely is younger than 55 years of age.
El cambio/The Change Joskowicz ([1971] 1975): Mexican counterculture and the futility of protest in the 1970s
Authors: Janzen Rebecca
Published: November 2021

This article analyses the representation of the 1970s countercultural movement in Alfredo Joskowicz’s film El cambio/The Change ([1971] 1975). It shows how the film portrays its protagonists as part of the Mexican countercultural movement, even as it adopts a critical view of that movement. Not only are the protagonists unsuccessful with their single action of protest, they are also engaged in problematic relationships with female and Indigenous characters. The ambivalence towards counterculture in El cambio is similar to the portrayal of leftist protest movements in other films by the same director. This article expands on the recognized relationship between this film and the director’s oeuvre. It demonstrates that the problematic portrayal of relationships between the protagonists and Indigenous and female characters relates to its historical context and other films from the time period. In particular, it shows that these interactions correspond with some of the ways that the Mexican state and the countercultural movement adopted paternalistic views of Indigenous people and replicated patriarchal relationships between men and women.
A re-visionist Her-story of De cierta manera ([1974] 1977): Reading Yoruba myth in Sara Gómez’s revolutionary classic1
Authors: Hackett Susanne
Published: November 2021

Recent scholarship on Sara Gómez has expanded upon existing discourse on her work beyond her singular feature film, De cierta manera/One Way or Another ([1974] 1977) to examine not only her earlier documentary shorts of the 1960s, but to demonstrate the impact that her body of work has had on a subsequent generation of Cuban filmmakers who continue her mission to critique the Revolution through an antiracist and feminist lens – contemporary filmmakers such as Gloria Rolando, Sandra Gómez and Susana Barriga. This article seeks to push this conversation forward by arguing several interrelated points: (1) that De cierta manera contains symbolic, visually embedded references to a specific patakí (myth) about the Afro-Cuban orishas Ogun and Ochún; (2) that De cierta manera holds this in common with Gloria Rolando’s Oggun: An Eternal Presence (1991), which tells the patakí in a more explicit manner, and therefore the two films warrant comparison and (3) lastly, that this interpretation of De cierta manera offers a novel take on a ‘classic’ Cuban revolutionary film, offering additional interpretive layers that do not change the message of the film, per se, but complicate it by adding an additional filter through which to view and interpret it: that of Yoruba moral philosophy. The Afro-Cuban word patakí in Cuban Lucumí liturgical speech refers to a parable with a moral lesson, and is derived from the word pàtàkì, which means ‘[something] important’ in the Yorùbá language of West Africa. This article will attempt to answer how and why this particular myth is ‘important’ (pàtàkì) to the reading of De cierta manera and argue for a broader re-centring and privileging of African-derived philosophical frameworks within Cuban intellectual history and popular culture.

Determinan perempuan bekerja di Jawa Barat
Authors: Damayanti Karina
Published: November 2021

This study aims to determine the characteristics of female labor force, women’s main employment, and the individual and contextual factors that influence those two situations in West Java Province. The data sources used for this study are National Social-Economic Survey on March 2018 as well as publications on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Statistics of Education. This study applies three-levels binary logistics (individual, household, and city/regency) for data analysis. The independent variables that significantly affects women’s employment status are age, education, marital status, household per capita expenditure, number of non-productive household members, household members, sex ratio, residence status, GDP per capita, agricultural contribution to GDP, and mean years schooling. However, access to information does not significantly influence the working status of women. This paper indicates that education is the primary determinant factor in regard to women’s participation in labor force. Education is suggested to improve women’s skills and knowledge that resulted in the advancement of the quality of female labors.
Perlambatan migrasi sirkuler: Penilaian terhadap perubahan pola migrasi sirkuler di pedesaan Jawa Barat
Authors: Wicaksono Agung , Kusumawanto Ardana
Published: November 2021

Circular migration has become a well-established institution for rural dwellers in Java. For farmers or unskilled rural workers, informal sectors, construction, or small trade in urban areas provide an adequate working opportunity and, at the same time, a relatively higher wage compared to the agricultural sector. It is frequently argued that migration could reduce poverty in rural areas. Although many harsh critics had been addressed to such arguments, there was relatively little attention given to the dynamics of circular migration itself, as most studies tend to argue that these activities are a constant phenomenon. Based on a comparative survey conducted in Tegal Nduwur Village in 2010 and 2020, this study finds that the rate of circular migration among farmers has significantly decreased. Better market opportunities and deindustrialisation, combined with a shifting development paradigm toward decentralisation since 1999, have gradually improved the village’s infrastructure. Under such conditions, the agroecosystem has been transformed from a slow to a fast one. The fast agroecosystem has yielded a more promising outcome for farmers’ household economy and absorbed many labor forces, i.e., people who previously migrated to various cities. This condition has decelerated the circular migration flows.

Health problems in the first 1000 days of life have short- and long-term consequences for children under the age of two years. This study examines how the childcare pattern during the first 1000 days of life affects the nutrition status of children under two in Medan City. This study is conducted by using mixed methods approach. A survey was performed to collect quantitative data of 400 households in 20 urban villages, whereas in-depth interviews and focus group discussions were conducted to collect qualitative data. In this study, childcare during the first 1000 days of life includes colostrum feeding, early initiation of breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding, and complementary feeding practices. The study’s findings show that mothers’ education level is significantly associated to their knowledge of colostrum's benefit. Support from health providers and room-in policy needs to be improved to increase early initiation breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding. Additionally, mothers have even more variety of complementary feeding for children aged 6–24 months due to cultural practices and tradition. Thus, improving children under two’s nutrition status requires comprehensive health promotion by considering sociocultural factors and evaluating the implementation of policies that support early initiation breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding practices.

El fútbol se convierte en parte o en elemento determinante de la identidad nacional, en el terreno de las minorías, el fútbol en muchos casos es un instrumento para la desvinculación de la nación que compone la mayoría y del Estado dominado por dicha mayoría. El deporte y en él el fútbol, juega un papel muy importante a la hora de hacer hincapié en su identidad nacional y por medio de él se refuerza la identidad cultural de los catalanes. En Cataluña el fútbol sirve también para demostrar la postura política de los catalanes, su selección nacional y el equipo FC Barcelona simbolizan y representan toda Cataluña.
Ideas Estocásticas Fundamentales en el Currículo Colombiano
Authors: Castro Carvajal Dicleny , Moreno Verdejo Antonio
Published: November 2021

Los lineamientos curriculares y estándares básicos de matemáticas de Colombia, a través del Ministerio de Educación, consideran la enseñanza de la Estadística y de la Probabilidad desde la educación básica primaria, evolucionando de manera conceptual a través de la básica y media. Se analiza en este estudio la presencia de las ideas estocásticas destacadas por Shaughnessy (2019): distribuciones, la centralización, la variabilidad y la inferencia, como las cuatro ideas estocásticas fundamentales, a lo largo de toda la enseñanza obligatoria. Empleando como metodología el análisis de contenido, se logra identificar las ideas estocásticas presentes en los lineamientos curriculares de cada nivel de educación básica y media. Se encontró un énfasis en conceptos asociados a las grandes ideas sobre distribuciones estadísticas e inferencia informal. Sin embargo, estos conceptos por sí solos no son suficientes, porque requieren establecer relaciones entre estos y las actividades, procesos y contextos, que estimulen el desarrollo del razonamiento estocástico desde la educación básica primaria.
One Health y las nuevas herramientas para promover la salud desde una perspectiva holística y medioambiental

Published: November 2021

El SARS-CoV-2 ejemplifica la íntima relación entre la salud humana, animal y ambiental. One Health va más allá del concepto biomédico de salud, centrándose en la interrelación entre individuos, microorganismos y ecosistemas. Su aplicación en la gobernanza sanitaria se basa en la interdisciplinariedad, la implicación de toda la sociedad, el big data, la inteligencia artificial y la información científica rigurosa. La adopción de One Health es una necesidad urgente para reestructurar las políticas de desarrollo y hacerlas más efectivas y sostenibles, y proteger y promover la salud individual y colectiva, en el sentido más amplio del concepto de bioética, tal como propugnaban Jahr o Potter, y de forma totalmente alineada con la Agenda 2030.

A Study on the Evaluation of Education Unions in Terms of Purposes and Activities Stated in their Constitutions
Authors: DILBAZ Engin , ERKILIC Turan Akman
Published: November 2021

This study aims to determine how education unions that have the most members in Turkey include the aims and activities in their statutes in terms of the functions of the unions. Furthermore, it aims to identify how the determined purposes and activities are distributed according to unions and the functions of the unions. The study is a qualitative research in the type of document analysis. Purpose and functions of the unions; their perspectives on politics and democracy, labour relations, education and development have been studies on the dimensions of socio-economic and socio-psychological functions. In the study, 27 evaluators selected from four groups as academicians, union managers, education administrators, and teachers were asked to classify items related to goals and activities in five categories. Based on the evaluators’ classification, the Fleiss Kappa coefficient was found. At this stage, it was observed that the Fleiss Kappa value indicated a significant agreement. In the study, the constitutions of the four education unions with the highest number of members were examined in five dimensions. The data were analysed using the five-stage content analysis method. As a result, it is possible to suggest that education unionism in Turkey has an organisational mentality that emphasises social and political issues. It is concluded that it is necessary to conduct qualitative studies which aim to determine the purposes of unions, their determined goals, and which mission they have undertaken.

Published: November 2021

: This research aims to identify the main problems experienced by adults with visual impairments regarding the use and accessibility of orientation and mobility skills and offer solutions for these problems. For this purpose, the knowledge of individuals with visual impairment on orientation and mobility skills and the problems they experience while using these skills and using public transport were discussed. Additionally, the skills they most need and want to learn, and the environment, people, and teaching style they want when being taught these skills were examined in detail according to the participants’ opinions. In the study, phenomenology design, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. 17 adults participated in the research, which would provide the most diversity for demographic information such as age, gender, and educational status. The research data were collected with the interview form tool consisting of semi-structured questions. The interviews were deciphered and transferred to the MAXQDA program, which is a computer-aided qualitative data analysis program for analysis. The descriptive analysis method was used in the analysis of the obtained data. As a result of the study, it was found that the level of education in orientation and mobility is quite low and they need to be trained. They suffer accidents due to lack of education, architectural/environmental precautions, inadequacy of measures taken for transportation, lack of assistive technology, attitude of people and lack of training of sighted guides. O&M programs can be developed for adults that include various indoor and outdoor routes and using transport.

Authors: AYTEKIN-USKUN Kubra , CIL Osman , KUZU Okan
Published: November 2021

This study investigated the effect of the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach on fourth-grade students’ achievement and problem posing and problem-solving skills based on four basic operations. “Academic Achievement Test towards Four Basic Operations” was administered to a total of 70 students. Case study model was used in the qualitative part of the research designed with a mixed model, and the obtained data were analyzed by content analysis. The quantitative part of the study was carried out using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with the control group. After the 17-week experimental process, a significant difference was found in experimental group students’ academic achievements and problem posing and problem-solving skills using four basic operations. Students who received instruction based on the RME approach comprehended the problem statements better, created more meaningful problems and developed their ability to select the appropriate data and the operation. Extending the classroom use of the RME approach will effectively improve students' problem posing and solving skills and increase student achievement in international exams.

Adrenocortical cancer recurrence following initial transcutaneous biopsy: a rare demonstration of needle tract seeding
Authors: Younes Nada , Bourdeau Isabelle , Olney Harold , Perrotte Paul , Prosmanne Odile , Latour Mathieu , Roberge David , Lacroix André
Published: November 2021

Needle tract seeding is a potential, albeit rare, complication following transcutaneous biopsies, leading to the seeding of tumor cells along the path of the needle. Biopsies of adrenal masses are not routinely recommended and are only indicated, after exclusion of pheochromocytoma, when an adrenal metastasis of a primary extra-adrenal cancer is suspected or when pathological confirmation of inoperable adrenocortical cancer (ACC) may impact treatment. Despite guideline recommendations to avoid primary adrenal biopsy, very few needle tract seeding cases have been reported and none were in the context of an ACC. We report the occurrence of needle tract seeding in a patient following adrenal transcutaneous biopsy leading to ACC abdominal wall recurrence.

Learning points

Needle tract seeding is a rare complication of transcutaneous biopsy. It may increase morbidity and impact overall survival. It has yet to be documented in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC).

Adrenal masses can be accurately evaluated for malignancy using a combination of conventional and metabolic imaging, such as CT and fluorodeoxyglucose-PET, obviating the need for biopsies.

Adrenal mass biopsy is not indicated in ACC unless advanced ACC is diagnosed, and a pathological confirmation would impact management.

Relationship between human perception of softness and instrument measurements
Authors: Wang Yuhan , de Assis Tiago , Zambrano Franklin , Pal Lokendra , Venditti Richard , Dasmohapatra Sudipta , Pawlak Joel , Gonzalez Ronalds
Published: November 2021

Softness, as a subjective perception, is difficult to define and quantify. For decades, panel tests have been used to judge differences in the softness of hygiene tissue samples. Panel tests can be a time-consuming and expensive process. A number of protocols have been developed to quantify the physical properties of tissues associated with softness. The Tissue Softness Analyzer (TSA) by Emtec has gained popularity in characterizing the physical properties of tissues associated with softness. The instrument was designed with softness in mind and attempts to simulate the touch of the human hand. There is currently no comprehensive study that compares the results from a TSA and human panel. In this work, panel tests were used to validate the performance of the TSA with bath tissue. It was determined that one component of the TSA measurements (TS7) linearly correlated with the panel results. Among all of the algorithms available for use with the TSA, the TP2 algorithm most accurately predicted the panel scores. The TSA performed better in predicting the softness of the samples that were dried with a conventional wet press or creped-through air-dryer.
Regenerated waste tire powders as fillers for wood fiber composites
Authors: Xu Xinwu , Tian Feiyu , Li Xiaoke
Published: November 2021

Waste rubber retains good elasticity and can be regenerated for use in special applications. In this research, wood fiber composites were made with waste tire powders (WTPs) as functional fillers. The physical-mechanical properties of the wood-rubber composite (WRC) panels, i.e., inner bond (IB) strength, static bending modulus (MOE), strength (MOR), and thickness swelling (TS) were assessed. The surface micro-morphology of the WRC panels was quantitatively analyzed and was graphically simulated with Matlab software. The results showed that WTPs decreased the mechanical strength and modulus of the hybrid composites, which was caused by the weak fiber/WTP interfacial adhesion. The addition of WTPs roughened the surface of composite panels. However, WRC panels showed improved hygroscopic stability and flexibility compared to pure wood fiber composites. Sanding can flatten the rougher WRC panel surface; however, it brings tiny pits to the surface that are caused by loss of rubber powders. Surface overlaying with resin impregnated paper was found to be effective to cover the tiny pits. This study showed that it is feasible to make value added rubber filled wood fiber composites with satisfactory performance.
Coexistence and Development Model of Multi-Minerals Dominated by Multilayer Magma Intrusion
Authors: Lusheng Yin , Wang Dongdong , Lijun Shen , Yuzhen Zhu , Zengxue Li , Yongjun Wang
Published: November 2021

The diversity of coal measure determines the occurrence state and spatial distribution complexity of mineral resources. Abundant resources have become an important part of geological resources and have attracted more and more attention. Coal measure and their overlying and underlying strata often coexist with various mineral resource types, and there is a certain relationship between their genesis and occurrence. In order to further enrich the theory of comprehensive exploration and coordinated development of multi-mineral resources, this paper takes the Huanghebei Coalfield as an example to systematically study the genesis mechanism and occurrence law of coal seam, coalbed methane, and coal-measure shale gas in Late Paleozoic and rich iron ore in Ordovician limestone underlie coal measure. The research is that: 1) The Late Paleozoic Carboniferous-Permian Marine facies, terrestrial facies, and transitional facies all developed in the coal-bearing area in the Huanghebei Coalfield, and the coal seams and mud shales developed well in Shanxi Formation and Taiyuan Formation. 2) Yanshanian magmatic intruded into Ordovician limestone. Contact metasomatism occurred between the ore-bearing hydrothermal fluids and the surrounding rocks, which led to skarn formation. The magnetite mineralization occurred in the metasomatism alteration process, and finally, the contact metasomatic iron deposit was formed; 3) Yanshanian magma intrusion has a significant impact on the generation of coal from coalbed methane and shale gas in the coal measures of Late Paleozoic. The magma carries a lot of heat by baking the coal seam and overlying shale, which is reflected explicitly in the increasing metamorphism degree of coal. Under the action of high temperature, the secondary gas of coal seam and coalbed methane increase sharply. The maturity and thermal evolution of organic matter in shale beds increased, and the shale gas entered a favorable range. The intrusion of magma greatly enhances the thermal evolution of organic matter in coal and shale, forming a variety of coals and promoting the generation and accumulation of coalbed methane and shale gas. At the same time, Mesozoic magmatic intrusion also controlled the formation of rich iron ores. According to the characteristics of mineral development and distribution in the study area, a multi-mineral development and distribution model of “coal - coalbed methane - shale gas - rich iron ore” coexists in the Huanghebei Coalfield, which is referred to as the “Huanghebei model”.
ECG and Pacing Criteria for Differentiating Conduction System Pacing from Myocardial Pacing
Authors: Jastrzębski Marek
Published: November 2021

During His-Purkinje conduction system (HPS) pacing, it is crucial to confirm capture of the His bundle or left bundle branch versus myocardialonly capture. For this, several methods and criteria for differentiation between non-selective (ns) capture – capture of the HPS and the adjacent myocardium – and myocardial-only capture were developed. HPS capture results in faster and more homogenous depolarisation of the left ventricle than right ventricular septal (RVS) myocardial-only capture. Specifically, the depolarisation of the left ventricle (LV) does not require slow cell-to-cell spread of activation from the right side to the left side of the interventricular septum but begins simultaneously with QRS onset as in native depolarisation. These phenomena greatly influence QRS complex morphology and form the basis of electrocardiographic differentiation between HPS and myocardial paced QRS. Moreover, the HPS and the working myocardium are different tissues within the heart muscle that vary not only in conduction velocities but also in refractoriness and capture thresholds. These last two differences can be exploited for the diagnosis of HPS capture using dynamic pacing manoeuvres, namely differential output pacing, programmed stimulation and burst pacing. This review summarises current knowledge of this subject.
Residual Stroke Risk in Atrial Fibrillation
Authors: Ding Wern Yew
Published: November 2021

AF contributes to increased stroke risk via various mechanisms, including deranged blood constituents, vessel wall abnormalities and abnormal blood flow. This excess risk is frequently managed with anticoagulation therapy, aimed at preventing thromboembolic complications. Yet, a significant proportion of patients with AF remain at high residual stroke risk despite receiving appropriate dose-adjusted anticoagulation. This article explores the residual stroke risk in AF and potential therapeutic options for these patients.
El sentido contracultural de los episkópoi y diakónoi en Filipenses 1,1
Authors: Serna Eduardo de la
Published: November 2021

La presencia de epískopos y diákonos en el saludo de la carta a los Filipenses es extraña dentro de las restantes cartas paulinas. No hay consenso entre los autores al respecto. El autor propone una lectura contracultural de ambos términos, en coherencia con otros, también importantes en la teología paulina. Especialmente considerando que Filipos es una colonia romana imbuida de ideología imperial. Los visitantes a nuevas colonias (episkopoi) y los sirvientes (diakonoi) eran colectivos conocidos para los lectores, pero Pablo pretende subvertir el esquema, incluso presentándose él mismo, como “esclavo”.
Novos caminhos da informação
Authors: Santos Nina
Published: November 2021

Os protestos brasileiros de 2013 foram não apenas um momento marcante da vida política do país, mas também delinearam uma mudança importante na produção, difusão e consumo de informações políticas. O que propomos neste texto é abordar essas mudanças em dois sentidos: compreender o papel dos novos processos de mediação e discutir quem está realmente ganhando visibilidade nesse novo ambiente de comunicação. Entendemos que, se por um lado as mídias sociais abrem espaço para o surgimento de novos mediadores de informação, no outro há uma desigualdade de visibilidade extremamente forte entre eles. O que nos interessa é entender quais são as diferenças a) no processo de mediação e b) na dinâmica de visibilidade neste novo ambiente midiático em relação ao modelo de broadcast. Baseamos nossa análise em um corpus de 97 mil tweets coletados em torno de uma das principais hashtags usadas durante as manifestações. Nossos resultados apontam para um processo de mediação mais complexo, porém menos visível. Em termos de dinâmica de visibilidade, os padrões que encontramos na conversa sobre os protestos de 2013 mostram que o modelo de broadcast não é reproduzido, mas o tamanho do público continua influenciando no acesso à arena da visibilidade. Em ambos os casos, a principal diferença está relacionada ao papel que a sociabilidade desempenha na determinação dos caminhos pelos quais uma informação pode ou não passar.
Real time micro-organisms PCR in 104 patients with polymorphic signs and symptoms that may be related to a tick bite
Authors: Lacout Alexis , Mas Marie , Pajaud Julie , Perronne Véronique , Lequette Yannick , Franck Michel , Perronne Christian
Published: November 2021

Introduction

Ticks are frequently polyinfected and can thus transmit numerous microorganisms. A large number of bacteria, parasites and viruses are transmitted by tick bites and could cause different signs and symptoms in patients. The main goal of this study was to search for these numerous microorganisms in patients presenting with persistent polymorphic syndrome possibly due to a tick bite (SPPT).

Patients and methods

The following microorganisms were searched for in saliva, urine, venous and capillary blood by using real time PCR: Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, Borrelia miyamotoi, Borrelia hermsii, Bartonella spp., Bartonella quintana, Bartonella henselae, Ehrlichia spp., Anaplasma spp., Rickettsia spp., Coxiella burnetii, Brucella spp., Francisella tularensis, Mycoplasma spp., Chlamydia spp., Babesia spp., Theileria spp.

Results

104 patients were included. 48% of the patients were poly-infected, and 25% harboured at least three different microorganisms. Borrelia spp. were not the most frequent bacteria observed, observed far behind Mycoplasma spp., Rickettsia spp. and Ehrlichia spp. which were the most frequent microorganisms observed. Piroplasms were found in a significant number of patients. The most sensitive matrix was saliva, followed by urine, capillary blood and venous blood.

Conclusion

Our prospective study has shown that patients with SPPT, a syndrome close to fibromyalgia, could harbour several tick borne microorganisms.

The displacement of a loaded pile could be vertical (axial) or horizontal (lateral); these displacements are sensitive to groundwater presence within the soil mass. This paper presents a theoretical study to investigate vertical and horizontal displacement of piles embedded in a clayey soil for different levels of groundwater under the ground surface. The study was performed using the commercial finite element package PLAXIS-3D. Three diameters of the concrete piles were considered: 0.5, 0.75 and 1 m, and were subjected to 1,000 kN axial load. The effect of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 m groundwater along the 20 m pile in length from the ground surface on the vertical and horizontal displacements was investigated. The results indicated that the vertical and horizontal displacements increase when the ground water level increases towards the base of pile. Also, there is a significant increase in the horizontal displacement up to 15 m of groundwater level from ground surface and decreased at levels from 15 to 20 m.

Pese a que el Derecho administrativo canónico es una realidad cuyos caracteres han comenzado a establecerse hace poco más de un siglo, las autoridades católicas han desempeñado, a lo largo de la Historia, una labor gubernativa, separada, con mayor o menor claridad, de lo contencioso. Los estudios sobre esta cuestión son muy escasos. Esta contribución pretende establecer las características de esta realidad en el periodo comprendido entre los siglos XVI al XVIII, concretamente en el ámbito diocesano. Para describirla se emplean, fundamentalmente, los expedientes conservados en los archivos de la diócesis de Mérida Badajoz. En el trabajo se establecen sus fases y los documentos asociados a ellas. Asimismo, se estudia, de un modo concreto, cómo se estructuraron algunos de los procedimientos más habituales.

Objective: The aim of the study is to determine the benefits and threats of introducing the euro in Poland in the context of the theory of optimal currency areas and convergence criteria.Research Design & Methods: A critical analysis of the literature on the subject, both Polish and foreign, as well as statistical analysis based on data from the World Bank, The European Commission, the Polish Central Statistical Office, the Eurostat and TradingEconomics.com were used.Findings: Currently, the euro area does not meet the theory OCA assumptions, and Poland does not meet the convergence criteria. Therefore, Poland cannot join the euro area. Moreover, joining the European Monetary Union may open the door to more threats than benefits.Implications / Recommendations: Poland, as a country with a derogation, is obliged to meet the convergence criteria and join the euro area, but it is not ready at present. However, Poland and the euro area together could eventually create an optimal currency area.Contribution: The results contribute to the debate on European monetary integration and the prospects for the introduction of the euro in Poland and may constitute a basis for further research.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of sorghum silage substitution with different proportions of triticale silage on the performance and carcass of Braford heifers. Twenty-four Braford heifers were randomly assigned to four diets where sorghum silage was replaced at 0%, 30%, 60%, and 100% for triticale silage in a feedlot system. During sixty-tree days of the experiment, the feed intake, feed ratio conversion, and average daily gain were measured. The heifers were slaughtered and the effects of the sorghum and triticale silage in carcass characteristics were evaluated. The replacement of sorghum silage with triticale silage did not affect the feed intake and average daily gain (P> 0.05). Feed gain ratio was higher for the heifers that received lower proportions of triticale silage (0% and 30%) in replace sorghum silage (P <0.05). Eye loin area and fat thickness were similar among treatments (P<0.05). Other carcass characteristics, such as slaughter live weight, dressing percentage, conformation and fat classification were similar among experimental treatments (P<0.005). Triticale silage can replace sorghum silage for finishing beef heifers in feedlot system and provides similar carcass characteristics.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the variations in the stability and nutrient concentration in concentrates for piglet feeding. Five treatments were established: T1 - Control, standard concentrate formulation (SCF); T2 - PXMore5, SCF with more 5% vitamin-mineral premix (VMP); T3 - PXLess5, SCF with less 5% VMP. All these three treatments used 400kg batches in an INTECNIAL mixer; T4 - FeedMixer, SCF using a 4,000kg batch in an IMOTO mixer; T5 - PremixMixer, SCF using a 1,200kg batch in an MUYANG mixer. For each treatment, bags of 20kg were stored in three storage places for four months where room temperature and relative humidity was recorded daily. The concentration of nutrients was evaluated through centesimal and mineral analysis. The water activity of concentrate was affected by temperature and relative air humidity in different storage places. The greatest variation in concentration of crude protein, mineral residue, copper, zinc, and selenium was due to the PremixMixer treatment. Regarding the guaranteed levels, the critical value was verified only for the chrome concentration.

ABSTRACT Citron watermelon is an agricultural product of excellent economic potential. Its seeds are widely used for oil extraction, serving as an energy source, showing nutritional characteristics that make them a suitable product to be studied. Thus, the objective was to characterize citron watermelon seeds regarding their physicochemical composition, in addition to determining drying kinetics, fitting mathematical models to the data, and determining the effective diffusivity coefficients and thermodynamic properties. The seeds were dried in a convective dryer, varying the drying temperature, with air velocity of 1.0 m s-1. With the increase in drying temperature, there were reductions in moisture content, water activity (aw), ash concentration, total titratable acidity, lipids and reducing sugar. Citron watermelon seeds are rich in lipids and ash, have low sugar concentration and low acidity; their drying kinetics was very well described by the Two Terms and Approximation of Diffusion models, followed by the models of Midilli and Page, which resulted in acceptable fits. Effective diffusivity accompanied the increase in drying temperature, and this behavior was well fitted by an Arrhenius-type equation. Enthalpy and entropy variations were reduced with drying temperature, with increments in Gibbs free energy.
Da cor à imagem urbana: paradigmas contemporâneos nas cores do patrimônio cultural brasileiro

RESUMO A segunda metade do século XX foi marcada pela revisão e crítica à ideologia do movimento moderno e por novas abordagens dos conceitos de cultura e de história, cujas reverberações estenderam-se aos bens culturais. O objeto do patrimônio começou a abranger novas temporalidades e naturezas de valor patrimonial e passou a ser aplicado a tipologias materiais e imateriais, momento em que produz uma mercadoria e um objeto de consumo. Inseridas nesse contexto, as cores das superfícies arquitetônicas refletem as práticas de preservação e os princípios gerais que norteiam as intervenções. Nesse cenário, este artigo enfatiza as narrativas imagéticas e identifica a recorrência de atitudes estruturantes na base das intervenções cromáticas em bens culturais edificados. Identificadas como paradigmas, fundamentam-se no culto ao valor de novidade, em tendências cromáticas como o uso do amarelo na arquitetura historicista e no turismo cultural. O artigo analisa a existência de tais paradigmas a partir de intervenções cromáticas realizadas em bens culturais edificados no Brasil. O referencial teórico aborda o conceito de imagem urbana e é fundamentado nas reflexões de Jean Baudrillard, Guy Debord, Pierre Jeudy, no restauro crítico de Cesare Brandi e na interpretação cultural contemporânea de Flávio Carsalade. Os resultados demonstram que apesar do discurso teórico consolidado que preconiza a análise caso a caso, na prática as decisões projetuais cromáticas não refletem as tendências atuais da teoria da restauração e revelam que a questão da cor no patrimônio cultural não foi superada e deve ser discutida em toda sua complexidade histórica, teórica e fenomenológica.

This trial was aimed to study the effects of replacing wheat bran with different levels of Zornia glochidiata meal on feed intake, general performance of Desert lambs and feeding cost decreasing. Twelve lambs of four months old and weighing 19.500 kg +500g were divided into three groups each with four animals. Feed intake and body weight change were monitored every ten days up to fifty days. The data were statistically analyzed via analysis of variance and the differences among means were detected least significance (LSD) test. The results indicated that voluntary dry matter intake significantly (P<0.05) increased in the group that consumed a ration with 26% Zornia glochidiata meal (II) followed by those were on a ration with wheat bran only (I) and lastly that had a ration with 42% Z. glochidiata (III). Feed intake was 1090, 970 and 910 for group II, I and III, respectively. Similarly body weight gain was significantly (P<0.05) higher in group II, (6.1kg/50 days) followed by group I (4.9 kg/50 days) and group III with 4.3 kg/50 days. The daily weight gain was 98, 122, 89 g when the lambs consumed rations with 0.00, 26 and 42 % of Z. glochidiata meal, respectively. The cost of kilogram of the first ration was 6.8 SDG when only wheat bran was used, and it decreased to 5.7 SDG when 26% wheat was replaced by Z. glochidiata meal and when Z. glochidiata meal was increased to 41% the cost was further decreased to 5 SDG.
