Effect of N:P Ratio on Microalgae/Nitrifying Bacteria Community in Agro-Digestate Treatment
Authors: Bellucci Micol , Marazzi Francesca , Ficara Elena , Mezzanotte Valeria
Published: October 2020

The role of P content on the treatment and valorization of the liquid fraction of digestate, namely centrate, through microalgae-based technologies was evaluated in this study. The performance of four column photobioreactors, which were fed on diluted centrate with corrected (10 mg N/ mg P) and not modified (129 mg N/ mg P) N:P ratio, were monitored and compared. The results demonstrated that P shortage in the centrate affected neither the total nitrogen and COD removal rate nor the volumetric biomass productivity, suggesting that expensive addition of P salts is not necessary to maximize the efficiency of the process. On the contrary, the addition of P to the centrate promoted the ammonia oxidation process as higher nitrite production was observed in the photobioreactors with adjusted N:P ratio than in the ones fed with the non-adjusted N:P ratio. These findings were confirmed by fluorescence in-situ hybridization and quantitative PCR assays, which revealed a higher number of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in the microalgal suspensions cultivated on centrate with P addition. In conclusion, the N:P ratio in the centrate seems to have a role in controlling the nitrification process rather than in the overall nutrient removal rate and biomass productivity of the microalgae-based system.

Authors: Mols Toms , Blumberga Andra
Published: October 2020

The paper describes the development of a computer-based inverse model for climate adaptive building shell which is in the cold climatic conditions of Latvia to determine changes in energy consumption. Types, principles of operation and classification of climate adaptive building shells (CABS) were reviewed and CABS most fitting to Latvia’s climate conditions were chosen for application in the model. Research implies that building modelling tools play an important role in the design phase. The results indicate that hourly facade adjustment can have a significant impact on GHG emissions and energy consumption reduction without compromising the comfort level. Optimization is proven to be an essential part of the inverse modelling phase, which provides the best possible option defined by the user for the characteristics that distinguish climate adaptive building shells. Inverse modelling approach allowed to determine necessary building enclosure parameters that need to be met to provide best performance.
Life Cycle Assessment of Low Temperature District Heating System in Gulbene Region
Authors: Diaz Fabian , Pakere Ieva , Romagnoli Francesco
Published: October 2020

New district heating system technologies have arisen in the last years to deliver economic and environmental benefits to residential and commercial buildings. The extensive ranges of equipment, energy sources, temperature profile configurations, size of the network, energy demand, and many other intrinsic variables, make it difficult to identify if a determined district heating option is potentially better than another in environmental terms. As for the economic evaluation, there are several tools decision-makers can rely on to assess environmental performance. The main challenge is to provide a holistic point of view for which lifespan and complexity of implementable, new technological systems can be an obstacle. For this reason, in this paper, a Life Cycle Assessment is performed upon a technical evaluation of several district heating configuration options for the Gulbene region in Latvia, where DH systems in most of the assessed parishes are already operating under medium temperature regimes, also known as third-generation district heating. The goal of the study is to understand the environmental impact of moving from the current DH system to a low temperature one. Results show a considerable environmental benefit if low-temperature profiles, combined with the use of renewable energy sources are adopted in the current DH systems. A hotspot analysis is also performed showing the use stage is the one carrying most of the burden across the project’s lifetime, followed by infrastructure construction; also showing that the refurbishment of buildings does not play a major role in the total environmental impact contribution.

Published: October 2020

Carbon neutrality has become a goal of European Union countries as they held agreement on the European Green Deal; the goal needs to be achieved by 2050. To achieve this goal production industry plays major role as this sector produces considerable amount of greenhouse gas emissions. This paper analyses processes within fish processing industry as the consumption of fish products has increased; therefore, production rate in this area also has been growing. Even more, the consumption of fish products per capita is forecasted to keep increasing for at least the next further years as fish products are great protein source. Thus, it is important to improve efficiency in the fish processing industry, to reduce the amount of emissions, waste and pollution produced in the industry, to evaluate the use of water and energy as well as the resources used in order to achieve sustainable production and carbon neutrality. Data envelopment multicriteria analysis method was used in this research to evaluate energy efficiency in the fish processing industry within sterilization process. The results have shown that the full water immersion autoclave and the water and steam autoclaves are the most efficient from four technologies analysed.

Authors: Aboltins Reinis , Jaunzems Dzintars , Pubule Jelena , Blumberga Dagnija
Published: October 2020

The purpose of the study was to analyse Latvia’s NECP2030 impact on energy user by identifying the activities/policy measures by their type and their impact on the choices and actions of energy users. The goal of the Latvian National Climate and Energy Plan for 2030 (NECP2030) is to achieve changes in the use of energy with a possibly better impact on climate and environment. Energy user, its choices and action play an essential role in achieving this goal. Latvia’s NECP2030 has 12 activity groups each encompassing one or more activity clusters with several specific activities and policy measures that are intended to influence the use of energy resources and energy. The method of hugs, carrots and sticks was used to categorise activities and through applying literature analysis on policy goals and most appropriate policies identify whether the chosen activities are adequate to achieve NECP2030 goals. The study concludes that in case of four activity groups the identified activities might not be sufficient as literature suggests that more stringent measures are recommended to effectively achieve certain policy goals.
Relationship Between Energy Demand, Indoor Thermal Behaviour and Temperature-Related Health Risk Concerning Passive Energy Refurbishment Interventions
Authors: Etxebarria Matxalen , Oregi Xabat , Grijalba Olatz , Hernández Rufino J.
Published: October 2020

The main objective of this article is to demonstrate that passive energy refurbishment interventions influence comfort conditions of households for both cold and hot annual periods, while they help to avoid or promote temperature-related health risk situations. However, improving the thermal efficiency of the building envelope is encouraged in order to reduce energy demand for heating and cooling instead of considering also their impact on users’ health. The calculation methodology to quantify improvements, on the other hand, is drawn from regulation-based standards, which describe the optimal achievable efficiency levels and energy cost savings. The present study, however, addresses how diverse thermal performance variables are (climate, thermal comfort range and occupancy rate), and shows that different thermal assessment standards influence the obtained results. An energy simulation approach was developed to evaluate different scenarios and compare the results. In conclusion, the results contribute to an understanding or to a discussion of the suitability of current energy renovation policies with regard to indoor thermal comfort and temperature-related health risk situations.
Evaluating the Effect of Different Base Temperatures to Calculate Degree-Days
Authors: Oregi Xabat , Jimenez-Bescos Carlos
Published: October 2020

Degree-days are used as a forecasting tool to predict energy demand and for normalizing energy consumption to be able to compare between different properties across different years. The base temperature is the main aspect to accurately calculate degree-days. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different base temperatures and their impact on the correlation between energy consumption and degree-days. The base temperature was selected as the standard 15 °C for the region, the balance temperature calculated with dynamic building simulations and the thermostat temperature setting as collected by questionnaires. The methodology followed is based on the analysis of 20 properties located in the cities of Bilbao, San Sebastian and Vitoria in northern Spain. The properties are a combination of flats and houses, from different construction periods, tenancies, occupancy and sizes. This study had highlighted the effect and impact of selecting different base temperatures for the calculation of degree-days and the correlation between energy consumption and degree-days. While the use of the balance temperature as base temperature could generate very good correlation, they were not so dissimilar from using the standard 15 °C base temperature to justify the amount of extra work required to generate the balance temperature. The use of the thermostat setting as an indication of the base temperature was not as reliable as the other base temperature methods in generating a good correlation to explain the energy consumption on the 20 properties investigated in this study.

Authors: Narottama Nararya
Published: October 2020

The influence of globalization appears to occur worldwide and affect any joint of life, including small village near Mount Agung, named Muncan Pakraman village, Karangasem, Bali. When the series of Pitrayajña ceremonies (Balinese traditional cremation series) took place in 2009 at this village, a lot of foreigners from various countries got involved, includeing Germany, Turkey, Israel, the Netherlands, UK, Spain, Belgium and Italy. They were involved not only as a spectators or tourists, but participated in the ceremony for their ancestors, and deceased loved ones and took part in "Ngayah" (working together and voluntarily, without being paid). Pitrayajña ceremony is processions of sacred ceremonies, which usually performed only by Hindus, especially in Bali, was also participated by foreigners (international students of Ratu Bagus Ashram), who were having a spiritual journey to find their true identity. Formally, they were not Hindus, but believed in the teachings of the Hindu religion, and their activities are form of spiritual tourism implementation in Bali. The main problem of research is to reveal how the phenomenon of deconstructing Pitrayajña ceremony in Bali, how the participation of foreign persons in this ceremony, what motivated them, what was the public perception of the deconstruction of Pitrayajña ceremony, the views of the Hindu leaders in Bali to the deconstruction of the Pitrayajña ceremony and whether there was a change of meaning, if the changes are purely the universality of Hindu religion itself, how its impact on society, and its relation to spiritual tourism. With the formulation of a clear scope, this research is also expected to produce maximum findings.

Published: October 2020

Social capital is an often-unrecognized staple of community participation in a tourism site’s development, although social capital comprises elements essential for successful community-based participation. This paper discusses how the host community’s participation in the tourism development of Cibalay Megalithic Site was driven by local social capital. Cibalay Megalithic Site is one of the last reminders of ancient beliefs and is an iconic landmark, located within the Bogor Regency of West Java, Indonesia.  It is also within the protected area of Gunung Halimun Salak National Park. Cibalay Megalithic Site is a product of a socio-cultural environment, deriving from the relationship between man and nature. Thus, its tourism development should interpret this history and promulgate environmental education as one of the key elements of sustainable tourism.  The local Village of Tapos I was established as a tourism village; within this village, the hamlet of Sinar Wangi was declared a conservation hamlet. Both designations were achieved due to local initiatives of the host community in developing local tourism, with Cibalay Megalithic Site as the iconic tourism focus of the area.  The high level of trust towards local figures and visitors, the conservation norm of “leuweung hejo, masyarakat ngejo” (if the forest is green, then the people will be prosperous) underlying everyday local life that indicates the importance of nurturing nature, good inter-personal relations between village members, and good social networking with outsiders: all combined to create the conditions and motivation that facilitated collective action in developing local heritage tourism.

Published: October 2020

The concept of community empowerment when examined actually departs from a view which is placed human as subjects from their own world. The basic pattern of the empowerment movement mandates the need for power and emphasizes alignments with powerless groups. The way in which empowerment is done is by providing motivation or support in the form of providing resources, opportunities, knowledge, and skills for the community to increase their capacity, raising awareness about their potential, then striving to develop their potential. Women need to be given training, education, and even empowerment, so that they have the ability to live properly and can help their husbands to meet their daily needs. The goal is that women have the ability / expertise.In the context of women workers, she is welcome to choose the field or sector that she likes which is certainly in accordance with the capabilities and professionalism possessed. According to Islamic teachings, whatever role is held by women, especially as housewives should not be forgotten, so that the possibilities of negative access can be avoided. So, serious attention from women to foster their families is very necessary because the task is the most important of the efforts to develop the community widely. Upright and the collapse of a country's society is very close which is related to the state of totality of family units forming a country's society. Islam allowed women to work outside the home while women can place themselves based on their female nature.

The history of dowry since the Prophet Syu'aib provided opportunities for workers for eight to ten years. The dowry process since hosting, may not be determined but implicitly there must be dowry if there is already a qobul permit, it may also be determined before the marriage contract. The amount of dowry is in accordance with the ability of the prospective husband. The legal basis comes from the Qur'an and hadith. Mahar is a condition for marriage not to get married. Terms of a worship are carried out before practicing the pillars of marriage. If the condition has finished the problem, just leave the gift after the initial intercourse between husband and wife. If it is stated that the number of dowry is proud of itself if there is a large number If there is a slight sense of humiliation, especially the wife and family and the husband. As if the rich bought valuable items if they were called the price. Mentioning wrong giving, even hurting the juice is certainly getting wrong. Mention dowry or alms to describe the alms of charity, not to believe in Allah and later in the day. Mahar is paid by the husband after the first initial contact

Bacteriological and Molecular Study of Fluoroquinolones Resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolated From Different Clinical Sources
Authors: Al-Mayali Mustafa Abd , Salman Ehab D.
Published: October 2020

The present study was conducted to investigate the resistance of fluoroquinolones (FQs) and the effects of mutations in the resistance gene in clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa isolated from different sources in Al-Hussein Hospital, Al-Samawah city, Iraq. The basic mechanism of the resistant of fluoroquinolones in P. aeruginosa is via mutations occurring in the basic bacterial gyrA gene encoding-subunit A of DNA gyrase . Forty clinical isolates from various sourced  (burn 7 (17.5 %), wound 7 (17.5 %), ear 2 (5 %), operation room 12 (30 %), urine 3 (7.5 %), and industrial dialysis center 9 (22.5 %)) were isolated based on bacteriological methods confirmed by 16s rRNA gene using PCR technique. A sensitivity test was conducted to all isolates by Kirby-Pour method using 7 antibiotics of fluoroquinolones. Amongst the 40 clinical isolates, 10 were resistant and 3 were sensitive to all tested antibiotics, while 27 were intermediate, resistant and sensitive to two or more of tested antibiotics, with the resistance being confirmed by the minimum inhibitor concentration (MIC) test. The ten resistant isolates were used to examine the mutations in gyrA gene. A direct sequence method was used and revealed eight mutations in gyrA gene at different positions. In addition, we found that fluoroquinolone activity in the sensitive isolates, after sequencing for these isolates, is a bacteriostatic activity. The results of this study showed the gyrA mutations resulting from the excessive use of antibiotics are one of the mechanisms may be that leading to fluoroquinolone resistance.
Dye sensitized solar cell (DSC) based on reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-TiO2 nanocomposite photoelectrode and polyaniline (PANI) counter electrode
Authors: Ahmed T.O. , Ogunleye O.O. , Abdulrahaman A.Y. , Alu N.
Published: October 2020

We report the successful application of reduced graphene oxide–titania (rGO–TiO2) nanocomposite as an efficient photoelectrode and an inexpensive polyaniline (PANI) synthesized by in-situ polymerization on graphite foam as a platinum substitute for tri-iodide reduction for dye‐sensitized solar cell (DSC). The bulk carrier concentration and conductivity of the PANI was measured to be 3.02x1017cm-3 and 4.89x10-1 W-1cm-1 respectively. Subsequently, three DSCs were assembled with rGO–TiO2 nanocomposite photoelectrode and PANI as counter electrode for one and the other two assembled using unmodified TiO2 photoelectrode with PANI and platinum as counter electrodes, respectively. The rGO loading allows more dye to be adsorbed due its large surface area thus improving the light harvesting efficiency (LHE). This improvement in LHE increases the short circuit current density (JSC). The JSC increase is more substantial compared to the reduction in VOC; thus, the increase in the efficiency of the cell with rGO-TiO2 nanocomposite electrode. The short circuit current density for the rGO-TiO2 DSC with PANI counter electrode is 0.45mAcm-2 while that for the unmodified TiO2 DSCs with PANI counter electrode and platinum counter electrode are 0.11mAcm-2 and 0.10 mAcm-2 respectively. This corresponds to 76% increase in the current density and it increases collection rate at the photoelectrode leading to enhanced power conversion efficiency of 0.13% compared with 0.04% and 0.02% for the DSCs assembled with unmodified TiO2 under full sunlight illumination (100 mW/cm2, AM 1.5G) as a result of the better charge collection efficiency of rGO, which reduces the back electron transfer process. This represent 69% enhancement of energy conversion efficiency in the DSC consisting of rGO modified TiO2
Escrever do corpo, o corpo da poesia: corporeidades poéticas em Maria Teresa Horta
Authors: Júnior José Rosa dos Santos
Published: October 2020

O presente artigo analisa as corporeidades poéticas que se forjam no âmbito da poética de Maria Teresa Horta e, em especial, na obra Palavras Secretas (2007). Dona de uma dicção comprometida e implicada com uma estética feminina e feminista, Maria Teresa Horta faz parte de uma linhagem de poetas contemporâneos que se debruçam sobre as questões mais genuínas que atravessam a problemática do gênero e toda a rede conceitual e metafórica que se desdobra a partir dessas questões. Fundamentam a nossa análise os pressupostos teóricos de Butler (2017), Perrot (2007), Beauvoir (1970), Tedeschi (2008), Louro (2007), dentre outros.
Das vozes insurgentes no movimento poetry slam à reexistência do slam das minas: a estética da poesia da quebrada pelas manas, monas e monstras
Authors: Da Silva Patrícia Pereira , De Moraes Paulo Eduardo Benites
Published: October 2020

O presente estudo analisa os poemas de Roberta Estrela D’alva e Bell Puã, publicados em Querem nos calar: poemas para serem lidos em voz alta (2019). Tais poemas desafiam as noções de representação, de mimese, bem como do próprio conceito de poética, em seus sentidos clássicos, e abordam os sentidos do poético como espaço performático naquilo que remonta ao vínculo entre corpo e fala, voz e performance, canto e ritmo. Sob a égide da não representação ou da anti-mimese, as vozes insurgentes das minas apontam para uma reexistência social tanto do poeta quanto da própria poesia, as quais integram o movimento de ressignificação da poesia brasileira contemporânea em contexto urbano, de rua, periférico por meio da conjuntura do poetry slam.
A (IN)EXISTÊNCIA DE ACCOUNTABILITY EM RELAÇÃO AO SUPREMO TRIBUNAL FEDERAL
Authors: Santos Francisco Geraldo Matos , Martins Cal Renato Ribeiro , De Araújo Luana Broni
Published: October 2020

O presente artigo trata da (in)existência de elementos de accountability em relação ao Supremo Tribunal Federal- STF, discorrendo, em primeiro momento, do conceito de accountability e suas diversas espécies, tratando na sequência da importância do Conselho Nacional de Justiça- CNJ, quando da reforma do Poder Judiciário, como elemento importante para o avanço da transparência em relação ao narrado Poder. Contudo, à guisa conclusiva, entende-se que o surgimento do CNJ acabou por ressaltar a posição de “superpoder” do STF, tratando por último da decisão que concedeu aos membros de diversas carreiras, inclusive magistratura, o direito a receber auxílio-moradia.
MERCADOS DE ÁGUA
Authors: De Queiroz Sousa Francisco Arlem
Published: October 2020

O presente artigo se propõe, com base em revisão bibliográfica, a analisar a introdução dos mercados de água no Brasil, objeto do Projeto de Lei do Senado nº 495, de 2017. A proposição legislativa tem sofrido severas críticas com foco na alegação de que com sua aprovação haverá a privatização das águas, bens de domínio público e de uso comum do povo. Contrariamente, quem defende a inovação legal sustenta que os mercados de água trarão mais eficiência na gestão hídrica, além de contribuírem para a preservação do meio ambiente. Por meio da abordagem dos instrumentos econômicos de política ambiental, faz-se uma contextualização dos mercados de água em vários países, ao final concluindo que sua implantação cria um importante instrumento de gestão dos recursos hídricos no contexto brasileiro e que os riscos de privatização, em razão da aprovação do PLS nº 495, de 2017, são infundados.
A AÇÃO CIVIL PÚBLICA COMO INSTRUMENTO DE TUTELA DO DIREITO À SAÚDE
Authors: Calixto Lucas Fernandes , Gastal Alexandre Fernandes
Published: October 2020

O modelo de processo individual para efetivação do direito à saúde mostrou-se insuficiente. Tal modelo representa uma disfunção do sistema, ao privilegiar o demandante individual, e sobrecarrega o Poder Judiciário. Assim é que o instrumento coletivo, especialmente a ação civil pública, revela-se importante ferramenta para efetivação e maximização desse importante direito. O presente artigo busca justamente trabalhar o uso da ACP na tutela do direito à saúde, apresentando os principais aspectos que otimizam a prestação jurisdicional.
A RELAÇÃO ENTRE PESQUISA EMPÍRICA, DOGMÁTICA JURÍDICA E A ATUAÇÃO DA ADVOCACIA PÚBLICA
Authors: Contato Lopes Resende Fabricio
Published: October 2020

O objetivo deste artigo é discutir em que circunstâncias pesquisas empíricas podem ser empregadas na atuação da advocacia pública. Essa discussão é relevante, porque há atribuições da advocacia pública que demandam exame empírico para seu desempenho, e que podem causar significativo impacto sobre políticas públicas. O exercício dessas atribuições suscita uma série de questões associadas à relação entre pesquisa empírica e direito. Este artigo examina as principais questões que o tema suscita. Argumenta-se que, à luz do atual contexto histórico, é necessário o emprego de concepção de dogmática jurídica que reconheça como próprias de seu campo atividades jurídicas que demandam exame empírico para seu desempenho. O artigo identifica importante espaço para a utilização de pesquisas empíricas na atuação da advocacia pública, e analisa as condições para sua concretização.
Workload a-WEAR-ness: Monitoring Workload in Team Sports With Wearable Technology. A Scoping Review
Authors: Benson Lauren C. , Räisänen Anu M. , Volkova Valeriya G. , Pasanen Kati , Emery Carolyn A.
Published: October 2020

Objectives

To (1) identify the wearable devices and associated metrics used to monitor workload and assess injury risk, (2) describe the situations in which workload was monitored using wearable technology (including sports, purpose of the analysis, location and duration of monitoring, and athlete characteristics), and (3) evaluate the quality of evidence that workload monitoring can inform injury prevention.

Design

Scoping review.

Literature Search

We searched the CINAHL, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Embase, HealthSTAR, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science databases.

Study Selection Criteria

We included all studies that used wearable devices (eg, heart rate monitor, inertial measurement units, global positioning system) to monitor athlete workload in a team sport setting.

Data Synthesis

We provided visualizations that represented the workload metrics reported, sensors used, sports investigated, athlete characteristics, and the duration of monitoring.

Results

The 407 included studies focused on team ball sports (67% soccer, rugby, or Australian football), male athletes (81% of studies), elite or professional level of competition (74% of studies), and young adults (69% of studies included athletes aged between 20 and 28 years). Thirty-six studies of 7 sports investigated the association between workload measured with wearable devices and injury.

Conclusion

Distance-based metrics derived from global positioning system units were common for monitoring workload and are frequently used to assess injury risk. Workload monitoring studies have focused on specific populations (eg, elite male soccer players in Europe and elite male rugby and Australian football players in Oceania). Different injury definitions and reported workload metrics and poor study quality impeded conclusions regarding the relationship between workload and injury.

Authors: Sungkar Ali , Basrowi Ray Wagiu
Published: October 2020

The rate of Caesarean delivery is rising dramatically worldwide, and also nationally. The number of Caesarean births exceeds the WHO recommended rate. This study aims to provide an overview of current increasing trend of Caesarean section, including elective procedure, and its risk. A review was conducted using online database, surveillance reports, and national surveys to identify studies with topics of prevalence, trend, indications, and risks of Caesarean delivery. Overall, there is an increase of Caesarean section in global, Asia, and Indonesia setting. We found an increase of 8% from 2013 to 2018 based on population survey, and increase of elective Caesarean surgery, particularly in tertiary care. We listed the possible health risks in short term, long term among mothers and child. Advanced maternal age, higher socio-economic status, higher educational level, residing in urban area, and ownership of health insurance were found to be factors associated with maternal choice on Caesarean delivery. The information presented is important to raise awareness among policy makers aimed to develop a national strategy in reducing the rate of Caesarean delivery.

An increasing trend of C-section delivery In Indonesia was found from 2% in 1986 to 16% in 2012. This delivery method was introduced to save women and their newborn baby’s life. On the other side, it can increase short and long-term health risks for children. This study aims to assess and give an overview of the perspective on pediatrician as medical specialist in managing children of the C-section delivery history. A survey was conducted on 89 Indonesian Pediatricians using an online questionnaire. It was found that most pediatrician chose combination partial hydrolyze milk combined with synbiotic (a combination of prebiotic and probiotic) combination as nutrition intervention to decrease the allergy risk on children with C-section delivery mode, and there is a need to emphasize information about short and long-term health effects of C-section, especially in causing gut dysbiosis and its mechanism, information on non-medical causes of gut dysbiosis to increase awareness of recommending right symbiotic to decrease allergy risk in children with C-section history.
