Chemical Structure of Kerogen of Shale Formations. (By the Example of the Shale Formations of the East European Platform)
Authors: R. N. V. Mustae , M. V. Zakharchenko , L. I. Kerimova , I. M. Salihova
Published: October 2018

The article deals with the chemical structure of kerogen and its transformation in catagenesis in shale formations by the example of the Middle Volga shale formations and the Domanic carbonaceous deposits of the East European Platform. The studies allowed identifying the main distinctive features in the structure of individual structural components of these types of kerogen and refining the models of the fragment of their chemical structure. Some of the oxygen-containing structures are found to be present in the Middle Volga kerogen as carbohydrate moieties and algaenan components, the alkyl chains in which are interlinked by ether bonds, and the structure of the sulfur-containing components can be represented as sulfide (polysulfide) bound n-alkyl structures, in pyrolysis of which low-molecular and high-molecular alkyl-substituted thiophenes, thienyl- and phenylthiophenes are formed. The average S/C value exceeding 0.04 classifies the Upper Jurassic kerogen as Type II-S. The predominant components constituent in the composition of kerogen of Domanic rocks are lipid components, however, its lower aliphaticity is probably due to the higher maturity of organic matter (OM) and to the low ratio of n-alkyl structures to polyaromatic moieties, the formation of which is connected with the rearrangement of polyene and heteroatomic structures in catagenesis.

Published: October 2018

In this work, the effect of indium (In) and gallium (Ga) dopants on the structural, optical and electrical properties of ZnO thin films was studied. ZnO thin films were deposited on glass substrates at 400°C using the spray pyrolysis deposition technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicated that both undoped and doped ZnO films had (002) preferred orientation. The undoped ZnO films were found to exhibit high transmittance above 80%, while indium-doped (In:ZnO) and gallium-doped (Ga:ZnO) films had transmittance above 60% and 70% respectively. From the Hall Effect measurements, doping improved the conductivity of the ZnO thin films however, In:ZnO films showed higher electrical conductivity compared to Ga:ZnO films. Electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) results were used to confirm the presence of the respective dopants in the thin film samples.

Dendrophthoe falcata is a hemiparasitic plant that has been used in traditional medicine.The study was conducted to identify the total phenolic and flavonoid compounds, to test antioxidant, and antimicrobial activity of ethanol extract stems of D. falcata parasite on Melia azedarach host tree. The dry powder stems of D. falcata was extracted with ethanol. The ethanol extract was subsequently partitioned successively using n-hexane, chloroform, and ethyl acetate. Each fraction was analyzed by a quantitative phenolic and flavonoid content with spectrophotometer method, and tested as antioxidant and antimicrobial activites. Antioxidant activity was performed by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrilhidrazil (DPPH) method, while antimicrobial assay used pathogenic bacteria by disk-diffusion method. The results concluded that the stem of D. falcata plant showed a high content of phenolic and flavonoid compounds, very high antioxidant and moderate antimicrobial activities. It was also found that stems of D. falcata contain potential phenolic compounds that can be used as natural antioxidants and the treatment of various infections caused by microbes.

Dried aerial parts of three medicinal plants grown wild in Jordan, namely Ononis natrix L., Salvia spinosa L. and Salvia verbenace L., were extracted upon soaking with ethyl acetate by continuous shaking at room temperature for three days. The extracts were analyzed for their phenolic and flavonoids content by HPLC-PDA. The HPLC analysis of the plant extracts revealed the presence of flavonoids and phenolic compounds in the three plant extracts. The antibacterial activity of the crude extract was evaluated. The PDA wavelengths range was from 227-347 nm. Bioactivities were attributed mainly to the immense content of phenol-based compounds in plants.

Holy and Profane Love in Sylvia Townsend Warner’s
Mr Fortune Fictions
Authors: Daniels Harry
Published: October 2018

Focussing on Mr Fortune’s Maggot and ‘The Salutation’, the essay argues that dialogues with Platonic philosophy and Pauline theology are finely threaded through Warner’s fictions. It suggests that Warner strips the ideas of agape and eros of their divine pretensions, confines them to the earth, and sees them in a profane light.
The Politics of Reorientation in Summer Will Show
Authors: Dunca Cornelia-Catrinel
Published: October 2018

The essay argues that Summer Will Show offers the reader a ‘politics of reorientation’. It suggests that the novel centres on moments of transition, which are for the protagonists moments of reckoning and rebuilding that reconstruct their political priorities and understandings. The narrative shows the protagonist Sophia Willoughby reorienting herself not only to see, but also to address the situation which was for her previously in the background. The essay analyses interrelations between class, gender, sexuality and race in the novel.
“Era só pizza que avuava junto com as brachola”: o samba paulista e a obliteração do negro na memória da São Paulo cosmopolita
Authors: Conti Lígia Nassif
Published: October 2018

A narrativa que aponta a especifi cidade do modelo regional paulista diante do samba carioca está empenhada em legitimar o gênero na capital do estado de São Paulo, forjando para ele uma história particular. Entender as razões que levam determinado grupo de sambistas a defender enfaticamente sua visão passa por tentar desvendar as tramas identitárias paulistanas e sua autoimagem pautada pela valorização de elementos culturais identifi cados com a vanguarda. Voltada à reafirmação de sua vocação cosmopolita e pouco afeita a se reconhecer como cidade mestiça, a cidade de São Paulo pouco espaço reservou para um gênero musical reiteradamente associado à mestiçagem, à brasilidade e à cultura tradicional.Palavras-chave: samba paulista; memória; cultura afro-brasileira.

Historiografi a e institucionalização de saberes sobre a nação (Brasil, séculos XIX/XX)
Authors: Da Fonseca Sérgio César , Narita Felipe Ziotti
Published: October 2018

A nação, referência central para a historiografi a oitocentista, ao passo que foi tomada como evidência de esquemas cognitivos e de programas históricos, também representa um mosaico bastante matizado de contranarrativas e confi gurações identitárias subsumidas sob a pretensa totalização conceitual.1 O reconhecimento teórico dessa dimensão problemática do horizonte nacional implica a convergência de abordagens capazes de construir perspectivas relativas aos saberes elaborados e à temporalização das diversas narrativas sobre a nação. Nesse sentido, uma história da historiografi a, tanto como analítica da historicidade do campo historiográfi co quanto como esforço crítico a respeito de seus pressupostos e procedimentos, 2 tem sido fundamental na constituição da pesquisa social.

On Women’s Agency and Western Representations: EU Approach to Women’s Rights in Tunisia
Authors: Valle Clara della
Published: October 2018

Empezando desde una perspectiva histórica sobre el activismo de las mujeres en Túnez, este artículo analiza la agencia de las asociaciones femeninas durante y después de los levantamientos de 2011. Esta contribuyó a que Túnez fuera considerada la única transición democrática “prometedora” entre las llamadas Primaveras Árabes. A través de un análisis de documentos y entrevistas, se investiga el apoyo de la UE a estas asociaciones, con un doble objetivo. Primero, deconstruir la narrativa estereotipada occidental (Mohanty, 1999) acerca de las mujeres tunecinas. En segundo lugar, investigar cómo esta narrativa influencia el apoyo de la UE a las asociaciones de mujeres en Túnez, y en consecuencia, a su transición democrática en general. Por lo tanto, el objetivo es cuestionar el enfoque europeo de la vecindad sur y la “metanarrativa” (Cebeci, 2012) que se ha construido sobre ello a lo largo de los años.
El comercio entre la UE y los asentamientos israelies: cómo los acuerdos técnicos suman injusticia estructural en la cadena de suministro
Authors: Audeh Anas
Published: October 2018

Hace ya más de dos décadas, la UE actualizó su comercio preferencial con Israel. Muchos Estados miembros de la UE y multinacionales europeas violan las directivas de obligado cumplimiento de la Comisión Europea que excluyen a Israel del trato preferencial libre de aranceles aduaneros. Este artículo defiende que, a través de la imposición de un entorno coercitivo en los territorios ocupados palestinos, la economía de los asentamientos está relacionada con la injusticia estructural de la cadena de suministros. Muchas multinacionales europeas comercian en asentamientos israelís y contribuyen de manera parcial a la injusticia estructural. La Comisión Europea aborda la injusticia estructural en el marco de acuerdos técnicos, sin embargo, este marco es inútil debido a la desconsideración y la mala fe expresada por aquellos actores relacionados con las empresas presentes en los asentamientos y a la falta de normativas estandarizadas en un marco operacional y responsable. Este artículo desafía un argumento muy arraigado en los estudios publicados, aquel que defiende que el problema en el comercio entre la UE y los asentamientos israelís no es tan solo una disputa territorial y fronteriza, para ello utiliza un método combinado de bases de datos y análisis discursivo.
El derecho a la autodeterminación de los pueblos en la protodiplomacia parlamentaria catalana: los casos palestino y saharaui
Authors: Alemañ Navalón Raquel , Stavridis Stelios Stavridis
Published: October 2018

Este estudio aborda la paradiplomacia parlamentaria catalana a través del concepto del derecho de autodeterminación. Sin embargo, no se trata de la autodeterminación de Cataluña o incluso de los reclamos de independencia. Se trata de cómo se discute este concepto en el Parlament (parlamento regional) en relación con otros reclamos de ese tipo, a saber, aquellos en el Sáhara Occidental y en Palestina. Por lo tanto, el documento comienza con una discusión sobre conceptos y definiciones. A continuación, se analizará la paradiplomacia catalana en general y, en particular, su protodiplomacia parlamentaria a nivel de la Generalitat (gobierno regional) y también en su Parlament. La siguiente parte evalúa en detalle cómo se han discutido las cuestiones del Sáhara Occidental y de Palestina en el Parlament dentro del contexto más amplio de esta protodiplomacia. El estudio muestra que existen discrepancias entre los partidos políticos a nivel catalán sobre cómo y si instrumentalizan la noción, el concepto y el derecho a la autodeterminación en otros movimientos de independencia frente al propio debate de Cataluña sobre su futuro. Y hay una conclusión.

Authors: Moreno Jaime Baby , Macías Prada John Fernando , Uribe Arango Juan Fernando
Published: October 2018

El tema central de este artículo es la determinación de los atributos que los empresarios antioqueños valoran en un funcionario de nivel directivo. Proviene de una investigación cuyo objetivo es conocer las opiniones de estos empresarios en cuanto a sus expectativas con relación a las cualidades que un buen funcionario de nivel directivo debe tener. La investigación es de carácter cualitativo, descriptivo y exploratorio. La información se generó a partir de una revisión de literatura y entrevistas en profundidad realizadas a un grupo de empresarios. Se determinaron los atributos que para ellos generan valor en sus compañías, entre los cuales se destaca la formación humanista como uno de los más importantes, así como los conocimientos técnicos (considerados factores “higiénicos”). Los resultados de la investigación se constituyen en elementos de análisis para la dirección de programas de formación en administración —como, por ejemplo, un MBA—, en el propósito de revisar sus currículos, los métodos de enseñanza-aprendizaje y el desarrollo del profesorado, todo lo cual puede mejorar las ventajas competitivas tanto de las entidades que ofrecen el servicio como las de sus egresados.

Gregory Palamas creates philosophical and theological synthesis, which originates from his own mystical experience of hesychasm. Palamas claims that man can participate in non created, eternal energeiai of God, which are the external activities ofGod’s uosia – essence. Palamas says that all things participate in God, and they are constituted by this participation, they do not, however, participate in His nature, but in Hisactivity. A man participates in God’s eternal activities and in this way can achieve moral and ontic perfectness.
Augustyńska koncepcja rationaes aeternae a badania Edyty Stein nad zagadnieniem sensu
Authors: Guerrero van der Meijden Jadwiga
Published: October 2018

In this article I discuss St. Augustine’s conception of divine or eternal ideas (rationes divinae or aeternae) in respect to its implications concerning the notion of eternity. The analysis of a passage of De diversis octoginta tribus quaestionibus – a classical formulation of the conception of rationes aetearnae – is contrasted with the XX-century exposition of the problem presented in Edith Stein’s Endliches und ewiges Sein. Versuch eines Aufstiegs zum Sinn des Seins. I discuss parallels between these two conceptions, drawing conclusionsregarding their similarity. An important common denominator in both approachesis the intelligibility of God understood as Logos that manifests itself in creation and canbe an object of human cognition. Eternity is understood not only as an unending state ofconstant timelessness, but also as an cognitive activity of visio beatifica orientated towardsntelligible God.
"Nie mamy tu miasta trwałego". Edyta Stein o bycie wiecznym
Authors: Grzegorczyk Anna
Published: October 2018

In this article I analyze the cognitive possibilities lying on the boundary of the finite and eternity being with reference to Saint Thomas Aquinas and Edith Stein’sthought. According to Saint Thomas, the rational cognition, which covers what is calleda natural world, is the highest form of knowledge and fixes its limit. Edith Stein, on thecontrary, claims that a mystical cognizance, which bases on experience and empathy,enriched by the message of the Gospel, should complement the rational one. What’scommon in those two concepts is a reference to God’s grace – the moments of revelationenlighten the efforts of human intellect. Thus knowledge on the eternal being merges both natural and supernatural cognizance.
Wieczność jako pozaludzka czasoprzestrzeń w światopoglądzie ludowym.
Authors: Grad Jan

In the magical-religious folk worldview the basic division of time separatedthe temporal time from the eternal time. The first one consists of the cycle of human life where the livelihood of agricultural communities defined by the annual pace of seasonschanges in the nature. The most important dates for a traditional farmer organizationof his work on the farm were marked by holidays and special days devoted toa specific Saint. The eternal time is situated in a completely different dimension. It is theafterlife, “the second world” or “the other world” – a form of the space-time where thespiritual beings exist. From it souls and spirits penetrate into the human world. Theyfulfill specific tasks, voluntarily or recalled by the people who host them during specialmoments of the ritual year.
Muzyczna złożoność i pewna specyficzna forma doświadczenia estetycznego
Authors: Moraczewski Krzysztof
Published: October 2018

The main topic of the article is the explanation of repeatable interpretationsof the experience of music in terms of the experience of eternity. The problem is approachedby introducing Kant's concept of the mathematical/dynamic sublime and then by suggesting that the experience of the mathematical sublime can be also achived on a waywhich Kant did not analyze, i.e. thanks to the contact with aesthetical complexity. Theconditions of such an experience are being researched. The second point of delibarationconcerns the transition from experiencing the complex as sublime to interpreting it assymbol of the eternal. The examples used are coming mainly from the field of music,including J.S. Bach and O. Messiaen.

Obecność - doczesne oblicze wieczności
Authors: Glinkowski Witold
Published: October 2018

Eternity is not only an impersonal factor of the world nor the conception that organizes our notion of time. More importantly eternity is presence – interpersonal connection and constancy of being towards one another. Understood in such way, it becomes not so much the eternity that refers to something, but the unfailing, unwaveringpresence of one man towards the other – such presence, that one can rely on. It is “asstrong as death”, but unlike death it raises hope. It is more than present time. Present refer to objects, which in a certain moment last “here and now”. Whereas eternity, as presence, is the expression of people's mutuality. It's icon can be “face” within the meaningof Levinas. It also brings to mind his category of infinity – prior to finitude anddetermining its understanding. Likewise the presence, it is a source concept, as it determinesexperiencing the phenomenon of being a person.

Laboratory baker’s yeast strains bearing an incompatible combination of MLH1 and PMS1 mismatch repair alleles are mutators that can adapt more rapidly to stress, but do so at the cost of long-term fitness. We identified 18 baker’s yeast isolates from 1011 surveyed that contain the incompatible MLH1-PMS1 genotype in a heterozygous state. Surprisingly, the incompatible combination from two human clinical heterozygous diploid isolates, YJS5845 and YJS5885, contain the exact MLH1 (S288c-derived) and PMS1 (SK1-derived) open reading frames originally shown to confer incompatibility. While these isolates were nonmutators, their meiotic spore clone progeny displayed mutation rates in a DNA slippage assay that varied over a 340-fold range. This range was 30-fold higher than observed between compatible and incompatible combinations of laboratory strains. Genotyping analysis indicated that MLH1-PMS1 incompatibility was the major driver of mutation rate in the isolates. The variation in the mutation rate of incompatible spore clones could be due to background suppressors and enhancers, as well as aneuploidy seen in the spore clones. Our data are consistent with the observed variance in mutation rate contributing to adaptation to stress conditions (e.g., in a human host) through the acquisition of beneficial mutations, with high mutation rates leading to long-term fitness costs that are buffered by mating or eliminated through natural selection.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the mechanical behavior of the proximal end of the femur submitted to the X-shaped polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) reinforcement technique. Methods: Fifteen synthetic femurs, with a Nacional® density of 10 PCF, were divided into two groups: the DX group, with 5 units that were submitted to PMMA reinforcement, and the DP group, with 10 units, which were evaluated intact. The volume of PMMA required, the maximum load, and the absorbed energy to fracture were analyzed by means of a static mechanical bending test simulating a fall on the greater trochanter. Results: A mean of 6 ml of PMMA was used to model the X-reinforcement; it was observed that the DX group presented significantly higher maximum load (median = 1553 N, p = 0.005) and absorbed energy to fracture (median = 9.7 J; p = 0.050) than the DP group (median = 905 N and 6.6 J). Conclusion: X-reinforcement of the proximal end of synthetic femurs showed a statistically significant increase in the maximum load and absorbed energy to fracture in the mechanical assay when compared to the control group.

ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this paper was to study the anatomical variations of the flexor carpi radialis muscle (FCR) and determine in cadaver limbs whether the FCR nervous branch can be connected to the posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) without tension and how close to the target muscles the transfer can be performed. Method: Thirty cadaveric upper limbs were dissected. Results: The FCR received exclusive innervation of the median nerve, distally to the intercondylar line of the humerus. In 5 limbs, an isolated branch was found and in 25, a common trunk with other nervous branches occurred. We investigated whether the branch for the FCR was long enough to be transferred to the PIN. The diameter of the nerve branch for the FCR corresponded on average to 50% of the PIN. Conclusion: In 12 limbs, the branch destined to the FCR could be connected to the PIN, distally to the nerve branches to the supinator muscle even during the movements of the forearm and the elbow. In 18 specimens, it was necessary to mobilize the PIN for this innervation. Level of Evidence IV, Case Series.

Ülkemiz örtüaltı sebze yetiştiriciliğinde hıyar
üretimi domatesten sonra ikinci sırada yer almaktadır. Gübreleme her türlü
bitkisel üretimde olduğu gibi hıyar yetiştiriciliğinde de verim ve kalite
üzerine önemli düzeyde etkilidir. Bitkinin beslenme durumunun hızlı bir şekilde
belirlenip gerekli önlemlerin alınması, özellikle serada yapılan üretim
faaliyetinde önemlidir. Hızlı ve kolay bir metot olarak petiol özsuyu NO3-N’u
miktarının belirlenerek bitkinin azotla beslenme durumunun tespitinde kullanımı
son yıllarda ilgi görmektedir. Bu araştırma serada yetiştirilen hıyarın azotla
beslenme durumunun tespitinde kullanılmak üzere petiol özsuyu NO3-N’u
içeriği ile toprak ve bitkinin farklı azot bileşikleri arasındaki ilişkileri
belirlemek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Denemede, bitki (petiol özsuyu, yaprak) ve
toprak örnekleri ilk çiçeklenme ve hasat dönemi olmak üzere iki farklı dönemde
alınmıştır. Petiol özsuyu örneklerinde NO3-N miktarını belirlemek
için iki farklı hızlı test tekniği; seçici iyon metre ve test şeritleri
kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca standart metotlarla yaprak örneklerinde NO3-N’u
ve toplam azot, toprak örneklerinde ise organik madde, NO3-N’u ve
toplam N değerleri belirlenmiştir. Her iki örnek alma döneminde elde edilen
değerler birlikte incelendiğinde; seçici iyon metreyle ölçülen petiol özsuyu NO3-N’u
ile yaprağın toplam N ve NO3-N’u içeriği yanında toprak NO3-N’u
arasında önemli düzeyde ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir. Petiol özsuyunda test
şeritleri ile belirlenen NO3-N’u ile sadece toprak NO3-N’u
arasındaki önemli ilişki her iki dönemde ortaya çıkmıştır. Seçici iyon metreyle
ölçülen petiol özsuyu nitrat konsantrasyonu ile yaprak toplam azotu arasındaki
ilişkinin her iki dönemde de önemli düzeyde gerçekleşmesi, bitkinin N ile
beslenme durumunun belirlenmesinde hızlı test tekniklerinin hıyar yetiştirilen
sera koşullarında kullanılabileceğinin göstergesi olarak değerlendirilebilir.
