EnLightenment: High resolution smartphone microscopy as an educational and public engagement platform
Authors: Wicks Laura C. , Cairns Gemma S. , Melnyk Jacob , Bryce Scott , Duncan Rory R. , Dalgarno Paul A.
Published: November 2017

We developed a simple, cost-effective smartphone microscopy platform for use in educational and public engagement programs. We demonstrated its effectiveness, and potential for citizen science through a national imaging initiative,EnLightenment. The cost effectiveness of the instrument allowed for the program to deliver over 500 microscopes to more than 100 secondary schools throughout Scotland, targeting 1000’s of 12-14 year olds. Through careful, quantified, selection of a high power, low-cost objective lens, our smartphone microscope has an imaging resolution of microns, with a working distance of 3 mm. It is therefore capable of imaging single cells and sub-cellular features, and retains usability for young children. The microscopes were designed in kit form and provided an interdisciplinary educational tool. By providing full lesson plans and support material, we developed a framework to explore optical design, microscope performance, engineering challenges on construction and real-world applications in life sciences, biological imaging, marine biology, art, and technology. A national online imaging competition framedEnLightenment;with over 500 high quality images submitted of diverse content, spanning multiple disciplines. With examples of cellular and sub-cellular features clearly identifiable in some submissions, we show how young public can use these instruments for research-level imaging applications, and the potential of the instrument for citizen science programs.
Children’s Rights and the Juvenile Justice System in Estonia
Authors: Strömpl Judit , Markina Anna
Published: November 2017

Approaching from the UN Convention of the Right of the Child (UNCRC) and the principle of best interest of the child is mandatory in all decision-makings in all EU countries. However, we can see notable contradictions between the articles of UNCRC, the best interest principle and the practice of juvenile justice systems almost in every EU member state. International organisations and national states make efforts to cross the contradictions and to guarantee the rights stated in the UNCRC. In this paper, we present some attempts to enhance the juvenile justice systems while focusing on Estonian case. Participation in two international action research projects enables authors to give an overview about the situation how the rights of Estonian children in detention are followed and what are the main tendencies in everyday practice.
Harsh Punishment or Alternatives: Which is the Better Crime-prevention?
Authors: Kury Helmut
Published: November 2017

The classical reaction to crime is punishment, then, if it does not have the effect we are looking for, still harsher sanctions. For the most part, state powers concentrate on the offender and his or her punishment, while the victim is ‘used’ as a witness in court proceedings. Empirical criminological research in recent decades has shown more and more that ‘just punish’ is not the best solution to reduce crime. Old traditional societies, such as various Native American groups in North America, had more peacekeeping-oriented approaches to crime, dealing with both the offender and the victim. The name we use for these today is ‘mediation’ or ‘restorative justice’. In the last few decades, these measures for handling crime and conflicts have been rediscovered, and they are used more and more in Western countries, with positive effects. For example, Germany’s criminal code and, especially, the country’s juvenile penal code suggest more ways in which victim–offender mediation and restitution can be used; however, legal practice shows reluctance to use the newly specified procedures. Elsewhere in Europe at state level, these techniques are used more in Western industrialised countries, less in former Eastern-bloc states. Differences can be seen also in the role of the mediator in practice: it is seen differently in some respects. Research results show clearly that mediation has a more positive effect on offenders and also victims than the ‘classical’ court procedure does, and thereby it helps more to re-establish peace in society.
Car Travel Demand: Spillovers and Asymmetric Price Effects in a Spatial Setting
Authors: Thanos Sotirios , Kamargianni Maria , Schäfer Andreas
Published: November 2017

A novel analysis framework for the spatial aspects of car travel, measured by vehicle miles traveled (VMT), is introduced in this paper. The specification of a dynamic spatial Durbin model enables the analysis of VMT spatial spillovers and diffusion between neighboring areas in the short and long run. The framework is further developed to capture and introduce to a spatial setting potential asymmetry and hysteresis that can reflect reference dependence and habits. A panel data set is compiled at the subregional level, based on official car mileage recordings in England and Wales. In addition to the inelastic long-run responses of VMT to fuel price (−0.124) and income (0.116) changes, the results illustrate asymmetries and hysteresis in price elasticities with a significant spatial component. The impact magnitude on VMT from a number of factors, such as alternative fuel use, fuel deserts in rural areas, and road network and car fleet characteristics, is also estimated. The results are consistent with the car use saturation hypothesis through the positive impact of motorization rate to VMT. The negative effect of public transport infrastructure on car travel is only significant in the spatial models. The paper demonstrates the applicability and importance of spatial econometrics in transport research.

Published: November 2017

As a new issue for OSI2017, this workgroup (originally designated as the Patent Literature workgroup) will look at patent literature, research reports, databases and other published information. OSI by design has a university-centric and journal-centric bias to the perspectives being considered. Patent literature, research reports, and databases are also important sources of research information—more so than journals in some disciplines (although these still reference journal articles). As with journal articles, this information isn’t always free or easy to find and is suffering from some of the same usability issues as journal articles.
Effects of Seasonal Timber Harvesting Restrictions on Procurement Practices
Authors: Conrad Joseph L. , Demchik Michael C. , Vokoun Melinda M.
Published: November 2017

Wisconsin's forest products industry relies on a consistent supply of sustainably produced timber for its mills; however, recent research suggests significant seasonal variation in timber sale availability. We conducted a survey of Wisconsin mills to examine their procurement practices and assess how seasonal timber harvesting restrictions (STHRs) affect the forest products industry. Fifty-seven mills responded to the survey, which represented a 40 percent response rate. Respondents processed approximately 75 percent of the state's annual roundwood production. The average procurement radius ranged from 75 miles for small sawmills to over 120 miles for pulp mills. Peak inventory levels exceeded 30 days during each quarter for both pulp mills and sawmills, and peak inventory levels during the first quarter exceeded 60 days. Respondents reported that STHRs were common in the state and mills had adjusted their procurement practices in response. Pulp mills estimated that STHRs cost each firm an average of nearly $2.7 million annually, or $4.93 ton−1 of wood purchased during the year, whereas small sawmills reported average additional costs of $188,888 per firm ($10.33 ton−1). Seasonal weight limits on public roads, oak wilt restrictions, and access and transportation restrictions on individual timber sales were reported to have the greatest impact on mills. Continued cooperation is needed among foresters, landowners, and the forest industry to apply STHRs in a manner that protects the forest resource while maintaining a consistent and sustainable supply of timber to the forest industry.
Relación entre las prácticas de ocio significativas de la juventud y el emprendimiento social. El caso Think Big Jóvenes
Authors: Makua Amaia , Cuenca-Amigo Macarena , San Salvador del Valle Doistua Roberto
Published: November 2017

La crisis iniciada en 2008 dificulta el desarrollo personal y social de la juventud española y le aleja del ejercicio de una ciudadanía juvenil. Una de las respuestas institucionales para aliviar sus efectos es el fomento del emprendimiento social, como el Programa Think Big Jóvenes de la Fundación Telefónica. Por otra parte, el ocio significativo está presente en este grupo de edad y puede ser fuente de iniciativas comunitarias transformadoras. El objetivo general de este artículo es explorar el binomio ocio y emprendimiento social de los jóvenes españoles a través de un análisis teórico que se completa con el análisis empírico de la experiencia de 65 jóvenes integrantes de Think Big en el año 2014. Los resultados confirman que dicha relación subyace.
Los beneficios del ocio juvenil y su contribución al desarrollo humano
Authors: Monteagudo Sánchez María Jesús , Ahedo González Ruth , Ponce de León Elizondo Ana María
Published: November 2017

Este artículo analiza los beneficios del ocio juvenil y su aportación al desarrollo personal y social con el objetivo de esclarecer si el tipo de actividad de ocio, el género, los espacios y el carácter espontáneo u organizado del ocio inciden en la percepción de beneficios emocionales, cognitivos, sociales, físicos y desarrollo de destrezas y habilidades técnicas. La muestra se compone de 1253 jóvenes españoles con edades entre los 16 y 18 años. Los resultados corroboran el influjo de estas variables tanto en la percepción de beneficios como en la naturaleza de los mismos. El ocio físico-deportivo no es solo la práctica más significativa, sino también la que les proporciona un abanico más amplio de retornos positivos. Los chicos obtienen puntuaciones más altas en todos los tipos de beneficios, excepto en los emocionales. Algunos espacios del ocio resultan más proclives para el logro de ciertos beneficios. Finalmente, el ocio organizado aporta mayores beneficios que el no organizado. La discusión sobre el rol de estas variables es clave para hacer del ocio un factor de desarrollo juvenil.

Vosotros a la taberna, ustedes al boliche (Catulo, Carmen 37)
Authors: Marrón Gabriela Andrea
Published: November 2017

En este trabajo proponemos revisar los presupuestos de neutralidad subyacentes tras la adopción del pronombre de segunda persona plural “vosotros” en dos traducciones latinoamericanas del carmen 37 de Catulo: la de Rubén Bonifaz Nuño (1969) y la de Lía Galán (2008). A partir de la convergencia entre el uso pronominal señalado en ambas versiones y el presente en las principales ediciones castellanas del corpus catuliano publicadas en España entre 1950 y 2008, intentaremos mostrar el curioso contraste generado en los otros dos textos, por la inclusión de ciertos términos propios de la variedad lingüística de sus traductores: tales como la connotación sexual del verbo “coger”, en el de Galán, y la presencia del diminutivo “chiquito”, en el de Bonifaz Nuño. A su vez, confrontaremos ambas traducciones con el resultado obtenido en otras dos versiones del mismo poema, publicadas recientemente en Chile (Sanhueza, 2013) y Argentina (Marrón, 2012), en las que la inclusión de léxico característico de las variedades de cada país coexiste con la elección morfológica del pronombre de segunda persona plural “ustedes” en lugar de “vosotros”. Por último, intentaremos establecer un vínculo entre el fenómeno descripto en estas últimas dos traducciones y el observable en algunas de las publicadas en la primera década del siglo XXI en España –como la de Rosario González Galicia (2002) y la de José Antonio González Iglesias (2006)– en las que el uso del léxico propio de la variedad peninsular impide toda posible inscripción de los textos resultantes en el constructo lingüístico –pretenciosamente– panhispánico denominado “español neutro”.
Sartor Resartus: el oficio de traducir centones virgilianos
Authors: Carmignani Marcos
Published: November 2017

El título de este artículo está tomado de la obra homónima de Thomas Carlyle (1831), cuya trama no tiene nada que ver con los centones, pero su título, “El sastre remendado” o “El sastre rezurcido”, describe de manera casi perfecta el oficio de traducir los centones virgilianos: el traductor de este tipo de composiciones trabaja de manera artesanal para vertir en su propia lengua un texto cuyo paño es la obra de Virgilio. Mientras el poeta centonario remienda la extraordinaria tela virgiliana que él mismo fragmentó y convirtió en jirones, el traductor, como un sastre, debe rezurcir en su lengua una obra cuyas costuras a veces son toscas, pero cuyo lienzo es, como se sabe, perfecto. Nuestro propósito es, por lo tanto, analizar los problemas de traducción que plantean los centones virgilianos, con los que se debe trabajar permanentemente entre dos universos: el del texto base, en nuestra propuesta principalmente la Eneida, y el del nuevo contexto, el universo del mito y del epitalamio. Se examinarán, entonces, algunos pasajes de los centones de Medea, Hippodamia, Alcesta y el Cento nuptialis de Ausonio.

Concept Maps: A Tool to Prepare for High Fidelity Simulation in Nursing
Authors: Daley Barbara J. , Beman Sarah Black , Morgan Sarah , Kennedy Linda , Sheriff Mandy
Published: November 2017

In this study, the use of concept mapping as a method to prepare for high fidelity simulated learning experiences was investigated.  Fourth year baccalaureate nursing students were taught how to use concept maps as a way to prepare for high fidelity simulated nursing experiences. Students prepared concept maps for two simulated experiences including; 1. caring for patients with diabetes, and, 2. caring for patients with heart failure.  Simulated learning experiences were video recorded and debriefing sessions were audio recorded.  Following the simulation, three data analysis strategies were employed including analysis of the videos of the simulation, analysis of the audio recordings of the debriefing sessions and analysis of the concept maps.  Additionally, videos from previous semesters where students did not create concept maps prior to simulations were reviewed. When comparing student behaviors to Tanner’s Clinical Judgment Model, findings indicated that students who created concept maps prior to simulation demonstrated an increase in noticing behaviors, but that interpreting, responding and reflecting behaviors did not appear to increase.  Students also reported a need to have concept maps introduced earlier in their curriculum and that the maps facilitated their learning most in complex, hard to understand clinical cases.  This study has implications for simulation, curriculum and the role of concept mapping in the creation of student knowledge structures.
Assessing the Development of Civic Mindedness in a Cohort of Physical Therapy Students

Published: November 2017

Introduction and BackgroundColleges and universities have an obligation to educate graduate students who demonstrate civic literacy and who can engage in civic inquiry and action. Service-learning and community engagement courses are highly effective in developing civic-mindedness. Graduate professional programs may have additional reasons for focusing on development of civic mindedness. The purpose of this paper is 1) to determine if civic-mindedness increased in a cohort of physical therapy students exposed to a variety of civic engagement programs and service-learning courses and 2) to determine if there is a difference in civic-mindedness between students serving on a clinic Student Board and their classmates in a graduate physical therapy program.MethodsThe Civic-Minded Professional Scale (CMP) is a 23-item, 7-point Likert-scale survey designed to measure the domains of self-identity; work, career and profession; and civic attitudes, civic action, and public purpose to measure the construct of civic-mindedness. The CMP was administered to a cohort of graduate physical therapy students at the beginning of the professional curriculum and at the end of each of three years of didactic coursework.ResultsFriedman’s repeated measures ANOVA with post hoc testing revealed that civic mindedness increased in our students throughout the course of the graduate physical therapy curriculum.Discussion and ConclusionStudents involved in service-learning coursework imbedded throughout a graduate physical therapy program had increases in civic-mindedness. Service-learning coursework may be an effective way to develop civic mindedness in graduate students.
Minding the Gap: Mentor and Pre-service Teachers’ Ability Perceptions of Content Area Literacy Instruction
Authors: Bogard Treavor , Sableski Mary-Kate , Arnold Jackie , Bowman Connie
Published: November 2017

This mixed method study compared how student teachers rated their ability in implementing components of content area literacy compared to their clinical educators’ perceptions of the  student teachers’ actual performance. The researchers collaborated with K-12 clinical educators to develop a scaled survey to rate level of skill in four components of content literacy instruction. 112 clinical educators (CEs) and 183 student teachers (STs) representing five teacher licensure programs completed the survey. A two-way multivariate analysis of variance measured the effect of Role (CE and ST) and Teacher Licensure Program on ability perception. Results indicated that Role and Program each significantly affected ratings of the four content literacy component skills measured, but the effect of Role did not significantly differ based on Program. Participants’ written explanations of their ability ratings revealed how their mental models of content literacy accounted for differences in ability perception by Role. Implications are provided for enhancing pre-service teachers’ perceptual and qualitative awareness of the practices that underlie highly effective content-area literacy instruction.
The Determinants Factors of Biogas Technology Adoption in Cattle Farming: Evidences from Pati, Indonesia
Authors: Wahyudi Jatmiko
Published: November 2017

Even though biogas technology has been introduced in Indonesia since 1990’s and having the potential, the rate of biogas adoption in Indonesia runs slowly. It is important to understand factors encouraging or discouraging potential adopters to build biogas plant. The development of livestock sector especially cattle farming in Indonesia can be seen as the opportunity to increase the rate of biogas adoption. This study investigated the factors affecting households of cattle farmer to adopt or not to adopt biogas technology. A cross-sectional research survey was carried out by using structured questionnaires as the primary tool to collect data from both biogas adopters and non biogas adopters in Pati regency, Indonesia. Socioeconomic characteristic of potential biogas adopters plays an important role to ensure the adoption of biogas technology sustainable. Socioeconomic characteristic regarding having high social status determines individual to adopt biogas relatively earlier than other members of a social system. Having high income and education enables traditional farmers to finance biogas plant by their own money or access aid from the government or other agencies. Among other attributes of innovation, relative advantage of installing biogas plant is the most determinant attribute to speed the rate of biogas adoption. Having biogas plant was perceived as better option and generated more benefits compared to previous technology or method.Article History: Received May 17th 2017; Received in revised form August 5th  2017; Accepted Sept 6th 2017; Available onlineHow to Cite This Article: Wahyudi, J.

Pengaruh Jenis Sprayer Terhadap Efektivitas Pendinginan Evaporasi Kontak Langsung
Authors: Yunianto Bambang , Isnandi Nugroho Epri
Published: November 2017

Di Indonesia pada musim kemarau, temperatur udara pada beberapa kota  dapat mencapai 30oC – 37oC dan RH 40% - 60%. Pada kondisi ini kebutuhan AC sangat diperlukan untuk mendapatkan kenyamanan. Namun  unit AC yang beredar kebanyakan masih  menggunakan refregeran berbasis CFC yang merusak Ozon dan komsumsi listrik relative tinggi. Pendingin dengan cara penguapan (evaporative cooling = EC) merupakan system pendingin alternative yang dapat diterapkan untuk meningkatkan kenyamanan ruang pada musim kemarau. Sistem ini  hemat energy dan ramah lingkungan,  walaupun kenyamanan yang dapat dicapai tidak dapat menyamai kenyamanan seperti ketika menggunakan unit AC, karena system pendingin  EC menghasilkan kelembaban udara yang tinggi. Pendinginan evaporasi kontak langsung (DEC) adalah pedinginan udara dengan cara mengkontakkan langsung antara udara dan air, sehingga terjadi proses penguapan air kedalam arus udara. Proses penguapan  air terjadi   dikarenakan  pengambilan panas dari udara, sehingga terjadilah pendinginan dan peningkatan kelembaan udara. Sistem pendingin ini banyak dioperasikan pada daerah yang bersuhu tinggi (hingga 45 0C) dan kelembaban rendah (hingga RH 35 %), seperti di Negara Timur Tengah. Di Indonesia system pendingin DEC cukup baik untuk diterapkan pada musim kemarau. Penelitian dilakukan untuk mengetahui prestasi pendingin EC kontak langsung dengan udara yang mengalir dalam saluran horizontal. Ukuran saluran adalah panjang 90 cm dan penampang 40  x 40 cm. Semburan air diarahkan tegak lurus dari aliran udara dengan variasi jenis sprayer (sprayer 1, 5 dan 7 lubang)  dengan debit semburan air dan debit aliran udara dibuat  konstan. Perngujian dilakukan dari jam 09.00 hingga jam 16.00 pada hari-hari panas di musim kemarau. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, terjadi penurunan temperature maksimum 8oC ( dari 34  - 26) dengan efektivitas 81 % . Perubahan jenis sprayer tidak berpengaruh secara nyata terhadap efektivitas yaitu 76 % (sprayer 5 lubang) dan  81 % (sprayer 1 dan 7 lubang)

Karakteristik Laju Regangan Melar pada Baja Tahan Karat Austenitic 316L
Authors: Ekaputra I. M. W. , Haryadi Gunawan Dwi
Published: November 2017

In this study, the creep strain rate characteristics of austenitic 316L stainless steel was investigated from the uniaxial creep-rupture test. The tests were conducted under various applied load levels with a constant temperature at 525oC. The creep exponent was obtained by applying a Norton’s law equation on a regression line of creep strain rate vs. stress curve. The steel clearly showed an instantaneous primary stage, following with the secondary and tertiary stages on the creep curve. It was found that the creep rupture time decreased systematically with an increase in the stress. The secondary stage of creep curve almost dominated the creep’s lifetime. Therefore, the creep strain rate was determined from the minimum strain rate on this stage. The obtained creep exponent indicated that the responsible creep mechanism was grain boundary sliding or diffusional creep mechanism

BACKGROUND:

Interventions to address vaccine hesitancy and increase vaccine acceptance are needed. This study sought to determine if a Web-based, social media intervention increases early childhood immunization.

METHODS:

A 3-arm, randomized controlled trial was conducted in Colorado from September 2013 to July 2016. Participants were pregnant women, randomly assigned (3:2:1) to a Web site with vaccine information and interactive social media components (VSM), a Web site with vaccine information (VI), or usual care (UC). Vaccination was assessed in infants of participants from birth to age 200 days. The primary outcome was days undervaccinated, measured as a continuous and dichotomous variable.

RESULTS:

Infants of 888 participants were managed for 200 days. By using a nonparametric rank-based analysis, mean ranks for days undervaccinated were significantly lower in the VSM arm versus UC (P = .02) but not statistically different between the VI and UC (P = .08) or between VSM and VI arms (P = .63). The proportions of infants up-to-date at age 200 days were 92.5, 91.3, and 86.6 in the VSM, VI, and UC arms, respectively. Infants in the VSM arm were more likely to be up-to-date than infants in the UC arm (odds ratio [OR] = 1.92; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.07–3.47). Up-to-date status was not statistically different between VI and UC arms (OR = 1.62; 95% CI, 0.87–3.00) or between the VSM and VI arms (OR = 1.19, 95% CI, 0.70–2.03).

CONCLUSIONS:

Providing Web-based vaccine information with social media applications during pregnancy can positively influence parental vaccine behaviors.

Published: November 2017

This article was migrated. The article was not marked as recommended. Background:Although its relevance, the direct ophthalmoscopy may be underused in the daily clinical exam by medical students. Current findings reinforce the need for new approaches in the teaching process of this exam. Objective: Evaluate the applicability of an eye simulator model for teaching direct ophthalmoscopy to medical students. Methods: This study was designed for fourth-year medical students, 20 in total, randomized into two groups: one with ophthalmoscopic training session on human volunteers and another one with a simulator model training session. We used a plastic canister with an aperture of 7mm to simulate a dilated pupil. A normal fundus photograph was affixed on the opposite side of the aperture. The participants filled in a pre-test to assess previous knowledge in ophthalmology. After, both groups performed ophthalmoscopy on human volunteers and filled in post-tests. Results: The mean objective score was higher in the simulator group (82%) than in the group with human volunteer training (45%) (p = 0.01). There was no statistically significant difference between the degree of ease and frustration in performing ophthalmoscopy between the groups, neither between positive and negative feelings scores. Conclusion: The simulator model proved to be effective in teaching direct ophthalmoscopy to medical students.

Authors: Alcântara Válter De Castro , Menezes Evandro Galvão Tavares
Published: November 2017

Diversos fatores influenciam na obtenção de bebidas fermentadas, como a escolha da matéria-prima, ponto de maturação dos frutos e o processo fermentativo. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar e avaliar o processo fermentativo de três linhagens de Saccharomyces cerevisiae, utilizando suco de laranja como substrato. As variedades estudadas foram: CA 11, PE 2 e fermento biológico FERMIX®. Na pesquisa, foi realizado o acompanhamento das fermentações, observando o consumo dos açúcares, pH, teores alcoólicos finais, acidez, rendimento e os açúcares residuais. Os fermentados apresentaram teores alcoólicos entre 9,5 a 12,3 °GL, sendo o menor para a o fermento FERMIX® e o maior para cepa industrial PE 2. A Linhagem CA 11 apresentou menor tempo para o consumo dos açúcares dos mostos. A fermentação mais lenta foi apresentada pela S. cerevisiae PE 2, entretanto essa levedura apresentou maior eficiência e rendimento, 94 % e 0,485 g*g-1, respectivamente. A acidez total teve seu menor índice para a cepa PE 2 (102,1 meq*L-1), e todas encontraram-se dentro dos padrões estabelecidos por legislação para bebidas fermentadas. Os fermentados foram classificados como vinho de laranja meio seco, visto que os teores de açúcares residuais totais foram superiores a 5,1 g*L-1, onde o menor teor foi observado na linhagem CA 11 com 6,6 g*L-1. Desta forma conclui-se que as linhagens de S. cerevisiae são viáveis na produção de vinhos de fruta, sendo CA 11 a linhagem que apresentou processo mais rápido, bom rendimento e elevado teor alcoólico final.

Serviços de alimentação constituem os estabelecimentos onde o alimento é manipulado, preparado, armazenado e ou exposto à venda, podendo ou não ser consumido no local. Considerando a diversidade de segmentos de alimentação ofertados no Mercado Municipal de Salinas-MG, além da manipulação com produtos e dinheiro concomitantemente, são recorrentes as contaminações microbianas. As toxinfecções de origem bacteriana são as doenças veiculadas por alimentos que mais se relacionam com os serviços de alimentação. O presente trabalho objetivou avaliar as temperaturas de alimentos que compõem refeições porcionadas as quais são comercializadas em barracas no local supracitado. Diariamente, são servidas em oito barracas produtoras de refeições porcionadas os seguintes alimentos: arroz, feijão, carne e uma guarnição. Utilizou-se termômetro infravermelho digital Smart Sensor modelo AR 360 para efetuar as aferições e ficha de registros. Foram realizadas 480 aferições para cada alimento em um período de 4 meses. Os resultados foram analisados segundo as temperaturas preconizadas pela Resolução RDC n° 216 de 15 de Setembro de 2004 sendo considerados adequados quando em temperatura superior a 60°C para as preparações quentes. Os resultados mostraram que pelo menos 75% das temperaturas estavam em desacordo com a legislação vigente. Assim, é necessário a vigilância sanitária municipal acompanhar e fiscalizar as barracas. O processo produtivo das refeições precisa ser revisto e monitorado, de forma a garantir melhores temperaturas de armazenamento das preparações, garantido aos consumidores uma alimentação com menor risco higiênico-sanitário e melhor qualidade.

O abacate (Persea americana Mill) é um fruto originado do continente Americano, amplamente produzido no território brasileiro. A sua polpa carnuda proporciona a extração de um óleo de alta qualidade, contendo vários compostos bioativos. Neste trabalho, avaliou-se a viabilidade de extração do óleo de abacate, utilizando diferentes condições de extração. A polpa do abacate foi seca em estufa, e posteriormente moída para a obtenção de um farelo. As extrações foram realizadas com 3 g da amostra e quantidades variáveis de solvente (etanol, hexano, isopropanol e acetona) para obter diferentes razões sólido:solvente (1:5, 1:7,5 e 1:10). O sistema foi incubado em Shaker, a temperatura constante (35 ºC, 45 ºC e 55 ºC), sob agitação de 120 rpm durante 24 horas. Após esse tempo, uma amostra da fase extrato foi retirada, com microsseringa. A concentração total de solvente foi determinada por meio de evaporação até massa constante a 60°C, e então foram calculados os rendimentos de extração de sólidos solúveis presentes nas polpas de abacate expressos em g de óleo/g de polpa seca. Os resultados demonstraram que o aumento da diluição de solvente e da temperatura, aumentaram a proporção de extração. Na diluição 1:10 a 55°C, todos os solventes apresentaram semelhantes extrações e na proporção 1:5 a 35°C o etanol apresentou baixo rendimento.  Os resultados mostram que o etanol pode ser utilizado como solvente alternativo na extração de óleos vegetais.

Published: November 2017

Com objetivo de avaliar as características físico-químicas durante o período de maturação do queijo minas artesanal, foram coletadas amostras de cinco diferentes produtores na região do Alto Paranaíba. As análises foram realizadas nos dias 2, 9 e 16. Observou-se aumento nos valores de acidez e pH para a maioria dos queijos analisados, já que as bactérias presentes no fermento converterem a lactose em ácido lático, acidificando o meio. Houve diminuição significativa na umidade, sendo a média das amostras, ao final da maturação 36,9%. Tal decréscimo influencia diretamente na queda da atividade de água, fundamental para o controle do crescimento de microrganismos. Os valores de cloreto de sódio apresentaram pouca variação, sendo a média geral de 3,75%, acima dos 2% permitidos pela legislação. Para teor de gordura no extrato seco obteve-se, ao final da maturação, média de 22,6%, caracterizando os queijos como magros. Assim, as amostras analisadas não se enquadram na legislação pelo alto teor de cloreto e evidencia-se a necessidade do período de maturação. Fica evidente também a falta de padronização no processo de produção do queijo artesanal.

Frutas e hortaliças minimamente processadas têm mostrado crescimento expressivo nos últimos anos, em virtude de grandes mudanças no estilo de vida do consumidor, como a conscientização da necessidade de uma dieta alimentar saudável e que cumpra as exigências de segurança alimentar. A cenoura é uma das mais populares, pela sua versatilidade de uso e formas de apresentação ao consumidor. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a eficiência da etapa de sanitização e o aspecto microbiológico de cenouras minimamente processadas armazenadas em diferentes embalagens. As hortaliças foram minimamente processadas e avaliadas microbiologicamente quanto ao teor de coliformes a 35°C, coliformes a 45°C e psicrotróficos. Observou-se que a sanitização da hortaliça foi eficiente, visto que a contagem microbiana para coliformes teve diminuição após o processamento. A embalagem não influenciou no crescimento de microrganismos. A contagem de coliformes estavam dentro dos limites estabelecidos pela legislação. O produto foi considerado seguro até o 7º dia de armazenamento, após esse período a contagem de psicrotróficos foi elevada.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo caracterizar o mercado consumidor, sua percepção e conhecimento sobre alimentos orgânicos em Rio Paranaíba - MG. Foram aplicados 188 questionários estruturados em estabelecimentos comerciais como supermercados e sacolões, sendo um questionário para cada participante e verificou-se que a maior parte dos consumidores são pessoas adultas, mulheres, de nível médio. Observou-se na pesquisa uma demanda por produtos orgânicos no mercado de Rio Paranaíba, sendo a indisponibilidade destes produtos o maior fator que limita esse consumo. Como grande porção dos participantes apresentou conhecimento superficial sobre o que é um produto orgânico e como identificá-lo na gôndola, ficou evidente a necessidade de maiores esclarecimentos sobre o assunto.

Authors: Dąbrowski Tomasz
Published: November 2017

Obszar logistyki społecznej jest obecnie swoistym wyzwaniem dla nauki, a zwłaszcza naukowców, którzy podejmują pracę, aby zbadać i poradzić sobie z realiami i wyzwaniami globalnych metropolii lub aglomeracji złożonej z kilku lub nawet kilkunastu miast regionu. Jakie są nowoczesne usługi logistyczne i jak je rozpoznać? Dlaczego musimy traktować je jako wyzwania społeczne związane z logistyką? Między innymi takie kwestie zostały poruszone w niniejszym artykule. Podjęto próbę identyfikacji, klasyfikowania lub nawet grupowania nowoczesnych usług logistycznych wchodzących w zakres logistyki społecznej. Są szczegółowo opisane w przykładach nowoczesnych usług logistycznych, które w istotny sposób wpływają na rozwój i poprawę jakości miast, i są oparte na rozwiązaniach środowiskowych sprzyjających poprawie sytuacji społecznej.
Pomoc finansowa dla krajów strefy euro podjęta w reakcji na kryzys zadłużenia
Authors: Matysiak Paweł
Published: November 2017

Kryzys, który rozpoczął się w 2007 roku w Stanach Zjednoczonych, sprawił, że część krajów strefy euro popadła w tarapaty. Niskie stopy procentowe oraz tani kredyt przyczyniły się do powstania „bańki spekulacyjnej” na rynku nieruchomości. Wiele międzynarodowych instytucji finansowych było silnie zaangażowany w rynek pożyczek oraz instrumentów pochodnych powiązanych z rynkiem nieruchomości, dlatego też w momencie załamania się tego rynku wiele z tych instytucji straciło stabilność finansową, a część z nich upadła. Inwestorzy zaczęli wycofywać swój kapitał z ryzykownych instrumentów i niektórych obligacji, inwestując w bezpieczniejsze aktywa. Spowodowało to kryzys płynności na międzynarodowym rynku finansowym, co miało wpływ na sytuację finansową części krajów europejskich. Dobrym przykładem jest Grecja, której budżet był oparty w dużej mierze o tanie pożyczki, dlatego w momencie wystąpienia kryzysu kraj ten stanął przed widmem bankructwa. W innych krajach, jak Irlandia czy Hiszpania, kryzys na ich własnych rynkach nieruchomości spowodował potrzebę ratowania instytucji finansowych, co silnie wpłynęło na wystąpienie problemów budżetowych. W następstwie tych wydarzeń Unia Europejska stworzyła kilka instrumentów finansowych, których zadaniem była pomoc zagrożonym krajom. W pomoc zaangażowany był także Międzynarodowy Fundusz Walutowy. Jednak nie we wszystkich przypadkach pomoc została właściwie wykorzystana. Sytuacja Irlandii znacząco się poprawiła, jednak Grecja wciąż boryka się z problemami budżetowymi. W tym przypadku być może lepszym rozwiązaniem byłoby pozwolenie na bankructwo Grecji oraz powrót do drachmy, aby uniknąć, jak się wydaje, niekończących się strat oraz, w dłuższej perspektywie, zmniejszyć niepewność panującą na rynkach.

Strong Cognitive Symbiosis: Cognitive Computing for Humans
Authors: Veres Csaba
Published: November 2017

Cognitive Computing has become somewhat of a rallying call in the technology world, with the promise of new smart services offered by industry giants like IBM and Microsoft. The recent technological advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have thrown into the public sphere some old questions about the relationship between machine computation and human intelligence. Much of the industry and media hype suggests that many traditional challenges have been overcome. On the contrary, our simple examples from language processing demonstrate that present day Cognitive Computing still struggles with fundamental, long-standing problems in AI. An alternative interpretation of cognitive computing is presented, following Licklider's lead in adopting man-computer symbiosis as a metaphor for designing software systems that enhance human cognitive performance. A survey of existing proposals on this view suggests a distinction between weak and strong versions of symbiosis. We propose a Strong Cognitive Symbiosis which dictates an interdependence rather than simply cooperation between human and machine functioning, and introduce new software systems which were designed for cognitive symbiosis. We conclude that strong symbiosis presents a viable new perspective for the design of cognitive computing systems.
Entropic Updating of Probability and Density Matrices
Authors: Vanslette Kevin
Published: November 2017

We find that the standard relative entropy and the Umegaki entropy are designed for the purpose of inferentially updating probability and density matrices respectively. From the same set of inferentially guided design criteria, both of the previously stated entropies are derived in parallel. This formulates a quantum maximum entropy method for the purpose of inferring density matrices in the absence of complete information.
