FAVORECER EL ‘ESTADO DE FLOW’: LA CLAVE DE LOS JUEGOS DE SIMULACIÓN EMPRESARIAL
Authors: Catalán Gil Sara , Martínez Salinas Eva
Published: June 2019

Los juegos de simulación empresarial presentan una alternativa interesante a los métodos de enseñanza tradicionales en el área de Empresa, ya que permiten reducir el gap existente entre la teoría y la práctica empresarial, permitiendo a los estudiantes desarrollar habilidades y competencias demandadas en el mundo empresarial. Uno de los factores que puede influir en su éxito como herramienta pedagógica es la experimentación de un estado de flow por parte de los estudiantes mientras están jugando. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar si los juegos de simulación empresarial favorecen las condiciones para que exista flow (ej. equilibrio entre el reto y las habilidades, claridad de los objetivos, y feedback), si fomentan la experimentación del estado de flow (caracterizado por una elevada concentración, diversión y motivación intrínseca) y la evolución del estado de flow a lo largo del juego. Además, se pretende analizar si el uso de juegos de simulación empresarial favorece el desarrollo de habilidades y competencias, tanto genéricas como específicas. Para ello, se ha llevado a cabo un estudio con 320 alumnos que han utilizado un juego de simulación empresarial. Los resultados obtenidos proporcionan apoyo para el uso de este tipo de herramientas pedagógicas en el aula.
¿ES POSIBLE TRABAJAR LA EDUCACIÓN EMPRENDEDORA UNIVERSITARIA EN CONTEXTOS POCO FAVORABLES PARA ELLO?
Authors: Hernández-Mogollón Ricardo , Fernández-Portillo Antonio , Díaz-Casero Juan Carlos , Sánchez-Escobedo María de la Cruz
Published: June 2019

La iniciativa emprendedora es necesaria para el desarrollo económico y social de la sociedad: crea riqueza, genera actividad, promueve la innovación y aporta oportunidades de felicidad, tanto para las personas emprendedoras, como para los puestos de trabajo que crea. Hay consenso sobre esto no sólo en la Academia, sino en los ámbitos de las administraciones públicas y en los agentes privados dedicados al Emprendimiento. Sin embargo, a veces se duda si el talento emprendedor puede y debe ser enseñado, o, simplemente, el talento emprendedor lo tienen, de nacimiento, algunas personas. Este trabajo analiza este tema y su contexto, ofreciendo respuestas y argumentos para la acción. Finalmente, aporta un modelo real de Educación Emprendedora Universitaria (EEU) en el nivel de Educación Superior. Se trata de un modelo integrador, que trata de recoger todo lo relativo a Educación Emprendedora seleccionando lo más acorde a las necesidades, y teniendo en cuenta que hay sobre el tema en cuestión y de lo que se puede y se debería hacer.
Unusual dyspnea in a hemodialysis patient: A case report
Authors: Wang Ching-Hsiang , Chan Jenq-Shyong , Yang Chung-Chi , Hsiao Po-Jen
Published: June 2019

The typical clinical symptoms of hemothorax include a rapid development of chest pain or dyspnea, which may be life-threatening without immediate management. As we know, spontaneous hemothorax, a collection of blood within the pleural cavity without previous history of trauma or other cause, which usually onsets suddenly. The early and accurate diagnosis of spontaneous hemothorax is imperative in clinical practice. We reported a middle-age male undergoing regular hemodialysis was referred to our emergency department due to unknown cause of dyspnea and acute respiratory failure. Chest radiography revealed bilateral patchy infiltration of lung. Pleural tap analysis showed exudative pleural effusion with numerous red blood cells. Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) were performed and confirmed the final diagnosis of spontaneous hemothorax. He was then successfully treated with the surgery of VATS combined chest tube thoracostomy.
Bejaia Doc : co-construction d’un regard documentaire sur l’Algérie d’aujourd’hui
Authors: Danet Joël
Published: June 2019

Depuis 2007, l’association Cinéma et mémoire basée à Bejaia met en place en Algérie des ateliers de réalisation documentaire ouverts à la participation d’un public adulte. Le but est de favoriser la formation et l’expression artistique et citoyenne des jeunes algériens par l’utilisation de l’outil audiovisuel. Cette action pédagogique impliquant des professionnels du cinéma et des animateurs socioculturels vise à mettre en place et pérenniser un pôle de formation au cinéma. Le dispositif partenarial est transfrontalier : il implique d’une part « Kaina Cinéma », association basée à Paris qui favorise les échanges dans le champ audiovisuel entre l’Algérie et les pays du Bassin Méditerranéen, et d’autre part « Les Ateliers Varan », structure parisienne qui promeut depuis trente-cinq ans la mise en place d’ateliers dans les pays étrangers.Bejaia Doc, à la suite des Ateliers Varan, s’inscrit dans la continuité du cinéma direct et d’inspiration anthropologique. Ses films sont marqués par un rapport critique au réel, interrogeant sur ses mises en scène par ses choix de réalisation. Le principe participatif de Bejaia Doc permet de donner à voir la réalité d’un environnement depuis le point de vue des « locaux ». De cette façon, nous découvrons d’un film l’autre des aspects distincts et connexes de la réalité algérienne : d’un côté, un attachement douloureux à un milieu qui s’est muré dans le passé, de l’autre une désespérance qui pousse au départ. Sans doute est-ce la perspective de sa diffusion hors des frontières, permise par le relais de Kaina Cinéma, qui a poussé les participants à faire part d’un regard d’une mélancolie sans concession.
I film associativi autobiografici dei migranti e lo spazio di ricezione dei foyers parigini
Authors: Scafirimuto Guglielmo
Published: June 2019

Gli Ateliers Video, condotti dall’associazione Parcours a Parigi, formano da due anni e mezzo i residenti dei foyers dei lavoratori migranti d’Ile-de-France alla creazione audiovisiva. L’articolo, che si presenta come un resoconto analitico delle attività svoltesi nell’ambito di questa associazione, mette in risalto la questione della ricezione a partire delle dinamiche legate al rapporto tra lo spazio interno dei foyers e lo spazio esterno della città. L’analisi verte sulle maniere in cui l’organizzazione di un festival cinematografico, il funzionamento degli ateliers, le riprese dei film e la loro ricezione, dipendono fortemente da numerosi fattori quali la regolamentazione dei foyers, la trasmissione culturale tra gli abitanti delle diverse generazioni, la convivenza tra le etnie presenti e la loro relazione con gli altri abitanti del quartiere e della città.I cortometraggi dell’associazione, attraverso un metodo partecipativo durante il quale tutti i partecipanti contribuiscono alle tappe progressive della realizzazione, mettono in scena le storie autobiografiche dei migranti sans papiers, spesso unendo documentario e finzione. I partecipanti, in maggioranza provenienti dal Mali, ma anche dalla Costa d’Avorio, Mauritania, Senegal, Algeria, Capo Verde, diventano per la prima volta allo stesso tempo spettatori di film (delle proiezioni sono organizzate lungo tutto il semestre) e creatori (sceneggiatori, registi, attori, tecnici, montatori). Nel contesto particolare dei foyers dei lavoratori migranti, l’articolo sottolinea la negoziazione necessaria tra la produzione e la ricezione delle immagini, tra un “Sud” africano riprodotto negli alloggi sociali e un “Nord” parigino sempre presente tramite le politiche cittadine, i finanziamenti pubblici e i luoghi di diffusione e dibattito.Residenze ; Parigi ; immigrazione africana ; video ; partecipativo ; pedagogia ; proiezioni
Imaginaires communicationnels du dialogue inter-religieux : le cas d’une série télévisée
Authors: Verdier Benoît
Published: June 2019

Il s’agit dans cette contribution d’analyser la mise en image du dialogue inter-religieux. À partir d’une série française traitant du religieux, cette contribution veut montrer combien « les imaginaires communicationnels » sont prégnants dans l’écriture et marquent durablement la représentation. Les trois saisons de la série Ainsi soient-ils (diffusée en 2012, 2014 et 2015) sont centrées sur l’église catholique. Toutefois, ponctuellement, à travers les intrigues et les personnages secondaires, d’autres religions sont évoquées et avec elles un dialogue est engagé. Le traitement réservé au judaïsme et à l’islam est relativement différent en termes de contenu et de temporalité. Il apparaît clairement un lien intime avec la religion juive (dans la facilité à jouer de la métatextualité ou de l’interdiscursivité). À l’opposé, le lien avec la religion musulmane s’élabore différemment pour s’ancrer dans un social affirmé.

Authors: KNANI Ines , BOUZIDI Hassan , LECUBE Albert , GHARBI Jawhar , KERKENI Mohsen
Published: June 2019

Introduction: No data regarding the relationship of carotid intima media thickness (IMT) and serum advanced glycation end products (AGEs) levels in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between IMT and serum pentosidine, CML and MGO levels in patients with longstanding RA.Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 80 consecutive RA patients with longstanding disease were included and compared with 30 age and sex-matched healthy controls. IMT was measured using ultrasonography. AGEs such as pentosidine, Ne-carboxymethyllysine (CML) and methylglyoxal (MGO) as an intermediate of glycation, were determined by ELISA.Results: Serum pentosidine, CML and MGO levels were increased in RA patients vs control subjects (P = 0.001; P < 0.001; P < 0.001 respectively). IMT was increased with disease activity of RA (P = 0.004) and was associated with serum pentosidine (r = 0.460, P < 0.001), serum CML (r = 0.549, P < 0.001) and serum MGO (r = 0.658, P < 0.001). Furthermore, in a multiple stepwise regression analysis CML and MGO were independently associated with IMT (b= 0.333, P = 0.007; b = 0.690, P < 0.001, respectively).Conclusion: serum pentosidine, CML and MGO were increased in RA patients and were significantly related to IMT. Serum CML and MGO were independently associated with IMT.
Learning on the Margins: Blacks within the U.S. Higher Education System
Authors: Hodgman Matthew R
Published: June 2019

Diversity is an imperative within the U.S. higher education system in the twenty-first century. As victims of slavery and the undergirding racist philosophies that were used to justify it, Blacks have had to fight for equity within higher education and society at large. This paper briefly traces the plight of Blacks within the U.S. higher education system. This examination includes a discussion of the historical subordination of Blacks by Whites and how this history led to laws and institutional practices that excluded Blacks from higher education participation. Several policies and legislation are discussed in terms of expanding educational opportunities and equity for Blacks. The history and role of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are addressed in addition to faculty and staff representation issues concerning Blacks.

For Your Enrichment: Getting Our Communities Moving, One Library Program at a Time
Authors: Carson Jenn
Published: June 2019

When I first sat down to write this article, I was aboard a Boeing 767-300, enduring a nine-hour flight on the way back from Berlin, where I had been giving two separate presentations on physical literacy at the library. Luckily the conference I was attending was being held in English because my German consists of little more than danke and damen toilette. I mention the plane ride because sitting for long periods of time in cramped conditions is not something my body is used to or that my mind particularly enjoys. Though, admittedly, it does force me to sit still long enough to get some work done.

Book Review: IMPACT Learning: Librarians at the Forefront of Change in Higher Education
Authors: Bednar Magen
Published: June 2019

Since the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education was released and adopted by the ACRL, academic librarians have been challenged to rethink how they teach information literacy to college students. This rethinking has led to a new approach in information literacy called “informed learning,” which teaches students how to use information within a context. In IMPACT Learning, Professor Clarence Maybee details an example of informed learning, namely the Instruction Matters: Purdue Academic Course Transformation (IMPACT) program.
Book Review: Licensing Electronic Resources in Academic Libraries: A Practical Handbook
Authors: Gottschalk George
Published: June 2019

Within overall collections budgets in many academic libraries, electronic resources account for 75 percent to 90 percent of the entire budget. Given this financial commitment, there is a clear value to having a robust practitioner-directed literature for electronic resource management. Such a literature exists, and the authors of this volume seek to differentiate themselves by emphasizing the licensing process as a critical component of electronic resource management. The partnership of a librarian (Halaychik) with a legal and procurement expert (Reagan) does afford readers with a holistic institutional overview of the licensing process.

Published: June 2019

Wendell G. Johnson, editor of End of Days: An Encyclopedia of the Apocalypse in World Religion (EOD), provides an excellent collection of essays related to various eschatological (study of the end of times) views. The purpose of EOD is fourfold: to provide readers with an overview of apocalyptic themes; to place popular apocalyptic motifs within their appropriate historical context; to enable a more complete appreciation and understanding of the presence of apocalyptic material in popular culture, literature, and the arts; and to present information in a single volume that will serve researchers in a variety of contexts (xii–xiii). Through the contributors of this work, Johnson exceeds these goals and provides a superb resource that will be a welcome addition to any library collection.

Potencialidades e fragilidades da gestão de resíduos sólidos na região metropolitana do vale do Paraíba/SP
Authors: Fiore Fabiana Alves , Rutkowski Emília Wanda , Do Nascimento Junior Jaime Meira , Santos Caroline Tomazoni
Published: June 2019

Por seu desempenho tecnológico e econômico a região do Vale do Paraíba, no estado de São Paulo, produz e destina resíduos de diferentes atividades. Apesar disso, existem poucas informações públicas sobre a temática e até 2015 apenas 12% dos municípios haviam elaborado os seus planos de gestão integrada de resíduos sólidos, em atendimento ao regramento federal. Assim sendo, foi conduzida uma pesquisa aplicada com o uso de survey e oficina participativa, abarcando trinta e quatro municípios da região, para avaliar as informações sobre a geração de resíduos sólidos e identificar as fragilidades percebidas pelos gestores públicos locais que culminaram em inexistência dos referidos planos. Dentre os principais resultados verificou-se que os municípios controlam apenas o manejo dos resíduos sólidos urbanos e dos serviços de saúde. Em 2014, os resíduos dos serviços de saúde gerados na região foram destinados adequadamente. Verificou-se maior geração percapita desses resíduos nos municípios de maior porte. Apesar da divergência de dados públicos sobre os resíduos sólidos urbanos gerados na região, existem aterros públicos e privados para os quais esses resíduos vêm sendo encaminhados e esta ação tem sido destacada pelos gestores municipais como o principal ponto positivo da gestão. Verificou-se também que, a alegação dos gestores de inexistência de recursos financeiros e de capacitação técnica não deve ser entendida como a razão para a inexistência dos planos, uma vez que ambos estavam disponíveis no território e não foram devidamente apropriados.
Caracterização produtiva e de regularização ambiental da carcinicultura na região do vale do Paraíba
Authors: Trombeta Thiago Dias , Trombeta Rui Dias
Published: June 2019

A carcinicultura no Brasil se desenvolve a mais de 30 anos com períodos de ascensão e queda, contudo é um segmento consolidado na produção de proteína animal, gerando milhares de empregos e movimentando a econômica em locais com poucas oportunidades de trabalho. A produção, no Brasil, se concentra na região Nordeste, onde é produzido aproximadamente 95% do camarão cultivado no país. Essa região possui condições ambientais e climáticas favoráveis à criação de camarões. Considerando que a carcinicultura é uma atividade exercida principalmente por pequenos produtores rurais, os quais atuam com baixo capital financeiro, sem todas as regularizações ambientais necessárias e com baixo monitoramento ambiental na produção, esse trabalho tem o objetivo de realizar a caracterização da carcinicultura na região do Vale do Paraíba, e assim, proporcionar um melhor entendimento sobre a carcinicultura e sua sustentabilidade na região. Para isso, foram realizadas entrevistas “in loco” em 20 empreendimentos produtores de camarão na região. Os resultados demonstram que 40% das propriedades têm até 1 hectare de área produtiva e 55% delas possuem de 1 a 2 pessoas trabalhando na produção. Poucos empreendimentos da região estão regularizados do ponto de vista ambiental e apenas 50% deles fazem algum tipo de monitoramento nesta área. Concluir-se que a carcinicultura no Vale do Paraíba é uma atividade exercida, sobretudo, por micro e pequenos produtores. É necessário que os empreendimentos da carcinicultura busquem a regularização de suas atividades, evitando-se a paralização do negócio e prejuízos ambientais e financeiros. Além disso, é indispensável que os produtores aumentem suas capacidades de realizar um adequado monitoramento ambiental, principalmente, nos parâmetros de qualidade de água e efluentes gerados na produção do camarão. Os resultados desse estudo são de fundamental importância para subsidiar futuros estudos científicos e tecnológicos em prol da cadeia produtiva da carcinicultura.

Authors: Flores Cíntia Rosina , Konrad Odorico , Flores Josmar Almeida
Published: June 2019

Diante das mudanças reflexivas em torno da problemática recursos naturais versus dano ambiental, a criminologia emerge nas ciências ambientais percebendo os danos como uma relevante área de investigação criminológica. Este estudo objetivou investigar os estudos em green criminology, em nível global através do levantamento das publicações indexadas à base de dados disponíveis no Portal de Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior. A pesquisa possui natureza exploratória quanto aos seus objetivos, e, bibliográfica com relação aos procedimentos utilizados. Adotou-se como estratégia para a coleta de dados critérios bibliométricos para a elaboração de inventário das produções científicas. Os resultados evidenciaram que: as publicações foram disponibilizadas em 13 bases de dados internacionais, localizando-se em até cinco bancos diferentes; artigo foi o documento com maior ocorrência, representando 46% das publicações, disponíveis em 18 periódicos indexados; três autores perfizeram 55% do número de publicações, caracterizando-se por autorias múltiplas, o que prediz percepções diversas do objeto de análise; não há entre os autores nenhum pesquisador vinculado direta ou indiretamente a departamento da administração pública dos países; geograficamente as discussões abrangeram pesquisadores de 11 países desenvolvidos; quanto a dinâmica temporal houve crescimento progressivo nas publicações a partir de 2008. Conclui-se que a ausência de estudos em green criminology encontra limites nas questões políticas-geográficas o que inibe a diversidade de percepções espaciais sobre a temática, refletindo no amadurecimento das pesquisas em relação a teoria.
Helsevesenet trenger vår kompetanse- hvorfor ikke bruke den? En kvalitativ studie av filippinske sykepleieres opplevelse av veien til autorisasjon i Norge

Published: June 2019

The healthcare system need our competence - why not use it? A qualitative study of Filipino nurses experience of their way to accreditation in Norway

Healthcare professionals educated outside the EU/EEA are an important source of labor in the Norwegian healthcare system, where nurses and auxiliary nurses from the Philippines constitute the largest group. Complicated authority requirements are attached to accreditation in Norway. The study explores how Filipino nurses with three different approvals in the authorization process, experience the process of accreditation in Norway, using qualitative research interviews. The results show that nurses face challenges related to the authorization process in Norway, which they experience as unworthy, unfair, baffling and economically burdensome, but also with experiences of hope for good prospects. A predictable and a dignified authorization process for Filipino nurses should be developed, so that their knowledge and competence can be included and appreciated in the Norwegian health care services.
Role of Interface Chemistry in Opening New Radiative Pathways in InP/CdSe Giant Quantum Dots with Blinking‐Suppressed Two‐Color Emission
Authors: Dennis Allison M. , Buck Matthew R. , Wang Feng , Hartmann Nicolai F. , Majumder Somak , Casson Joanna L. , Watt John D. , Doorn Stephen K. , Htoon Han , Sykora Milan , Hollingsworth Jennifer A.
Published: June 2019

InP/CdSe core/thick‐shell “giant” quantum dots (gQDs) that exhibit blinking‐suppressed two‐color excitonic emission have been synthesized and optically characterized. These type II heterostructures exhibit photoluminescence from both a charge‐separated, near‐infrared type II excitonic state, and a shell‐localized visible‐color excitonic state. Infrared emission is intrinsic to the type II QD, while visible emission can either be eliminated or enhanced through chemical modification of the InP surface prior to CdSe shell growth. Single‐QD photoluminescence measurements confirm that the dual color emission is from individual nanocrystals. The probability of observing dual emission from individual QDs and the extent of blinking suppression increases with shell thickness. Visible emission can be stabilized by the addition of a second shell of CdS, where the resulting InP/CdSe/CdS core/shell/shell nanocrystals afford the strongest blinking suppression, determined by analysis of the Mandel Q parameter. Transient absorption spectroscopy verifies that dual emission arises when hole relaxation from the shell to the core is impeded, possibly as a result of enhanced interfacial hole trapping at F− or O2− defect sites. Electron–hole recombination in the shell then competes with slower type II recombination, providing a different mechanism for breaking Kasha's rule and allowing two colors of light to be emitted from one nanostructure.
Pfaffian Formula for Fermion Parity Fluctuations in a Superconductor and Application to Majorana Fusion Detection
Authors: Grabsch Aurélien , Cheipesh Yevheniia , Beenakker Carlo W. J.
Published: June 2019

Kitaev's Pfaffian formula equates the ground‐state fermion parity of a closed system to the sign of the Pfaffian of the Hamiltonian in the Majorana basis. Using Klich's theory of counting statistics for paired fermions, the Pfaffian formula is generalized to account for quantum fluctuations in the fermion parity of an open subsystem. A statistical description in the framework of random‐matrix theory is used to answer the question when a vanishing fermion parity in a superconductor fusion experiment becomes a distinctive signature of an isolated Majorana zero‐mode.
Novel approach for the preparation of a compatibilized blend of nylon 11 and polypropylene with polyhydroxybutyrate: Mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties
Authors: Gadgeel A. A. , Mhaske Shashank Tejrao
Published: June 2019

This article comprises of the interaction in the immiscible polymer system of nylon 11 (PA 11), polypropylene (PP), and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB). Reactive compatibilization extrusion method with maleic anhydride‐grafted polypropylene (PP‐g‐MA) is used to achieve compatibility within the polymer. To further improve the interaction of the blend at interphase, PHB was added as a dispersive phase in a concentration varying from 10 to 40% of the total batch. Addition of PHB motives the excellent dispersion of PP chain in PA 11 and assures the compatibility between the phases of PA 11 and PP‐g‐MA. The entire system of tertiary and binary phases was blended in a twin‐screw extruder at different composition. The macro‐optimal tensile strength, Young's modulus, bending strength, and notched impact strength of PA11/PP systems were found to be superior as compared to their noncompatibilized systems. The degradation temperature of the blends of PA11/PP and PA11/PHB/PP with and without compatibilizer was evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). It was found that the high temperature of degradation was required for compatibilized ternary blend than that of the compatibilized binary blend. The distortion temperature of the systems was studied with the help of heat deflection temperature (HDT) and found to be advanced for blend having a higher concentration of the dispersed phase. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to determine the % crystallinity, melting, and crystallization temperature of this system.

Objective

This first‐in‐man (FIM) study aimed to determine the safety and efficacy of the Heartech® left ventricular partitioning device (LVPD) in patients with chronic heart failure (HF) postmyocardial infarction.

Methods

Sixteen patients were enrolled from three cardiac intervention centers in China. All patients underwent percutaneous ventricular restoration (PVR) procedures with implantation of the Heartech® LVPD. Safety and immediate success rates were recorded. Major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) including all‐cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, emergent or selective surgery or interventional therapy, renal failure requiring hemodialysis, and major bleeding were recorded. Efficacy features included functional status, echocardiographic characteristics, life quality characteristics including peak oxygen consumption of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), European five‐dimensional health scale (EQ‐5D), 6‐min walk test (6MWT) at baseline and during follow‐up (NCT 02938637).

Results

The device success rate was 93.75% (15 successes in 16 patients) with 100% safety. During follow‐up of 36 ± 4.5 days, no MACCEs were found. The left ventricular end‐systolic volume index decreased significantly (LVESVi, 72.47 ± 22.77 mL/m2 vs. 50.13 ± 13.36 mL/m2, p < .001) as did left ventricular end diastolic volume index (LVEDVi, 106.27 ± 28.01 mL/m2 vs. 83.20 ± 16.87 mL/m2, p = .001). Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF, 32.47 ± 6.98% vs. 40.41 ± 6.15, p < .001), 6MWT (383.13 ± 108.70 vs. 453.47 ± 88.24, p < 0.001) and EQ‐5D (65.93 ± 11.25 vs. 78.67 ± 8.35, p < .001) improved significantly.

Conclusions

Heartech® LVPD appeared to be safe and effective for treatment of HF postmyocardial infarction.

Considering the European goal to promote clean, sustainable, and affordable energies, solid biofuels could play an important role in increasing the share of renewable energies. Given the huge variability of solid biofuel characteristics and in order to determine their best application, it is important to assess their quality before the intended use. Technical standards EN ISO 17225 divide the solid biofuels in several quality classes on the basis of chemical‐physical parameters and qualitative features (ie, origin and source of the material). These last are quite hard to be determined in densified solid biofuels like pellet and briquettes using conventional lab analysis, and near‐infrared spectroscopy could represent a rapid and economic method to overcome this problem.

To this aim, three near‐infrared spectral datasets have been investigated to evaluate the possibility to get information about qualitative features of the densified solid biofuels and in detail: (a) discrimination between treated/virgin wood; (b) discrimination between bark/wood; and (c) discrimination between herbaceous/woody biomass. Three different classification methods have been taken into consideration—support vector machines (SVM), partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS‐DA), and principal component analysis linear discriminant analysis (PCA‐LDA)—and the classification performance were compared. All the methods were carefully validated using two different new modifications of repeated double cross‐validation.
A scalable and energy‐efficient MAC protocol for sensor and actor networks
Authors: Bhola Jyoti , Soni Surender , Kakarla Jagadeesh
Published: June 2019

A scalable energy‐efficient MAC protocol is proposed for wireless sensor and actor networks (WSAN) to improve the network performance. Actor's placement has computed using midpoint K‐mean technique. These actors perform as the cluster heads and collect the information from its members. Cluster head computes the shortest path to all of its cluster members. Further, it divides the cluster into multiple subtrees and assigns a noninterference channel to every subtree. A token is assigned to each subtree for intracluster communication. Token handling and token processing mechanisms are proposed to transfer token from one node to next eligible node. Finally, a throughput‐based channel selection mechanism has proposed for actor‐actor communication. The proposed protocol is simulated in NS2 and compared with its competitive MAC protocols. The results describe that the existing protocols are out beaten by the proposed mechanism.

Background

Children of chronic pain patients run greater risk for developing chronic pain themselves. Exposure to chronic pain of the parent might install cognitive (e.g., pain catastrophizing, interpretation and attentional bias) and affective (e.g., pain anxiety) vulnerability which increase the risk for the development of chronic pain complaints in offspring. This study examines whether pain‐free offspring of parents with chronic pain complaints make more health‐threatening interpretations and display a stronger pain‐related attentional bias compared to the offspring of pain‐free parents. We furthermore examined differences between both groups on pain catastrophizing, pain anxiety and somatic symptoms and explored the relations between parental pain catastrophizing and aforementioned pain vulnerability measures in offspring.

Methods

Offspring of parents with chronic pain complaints (n = 24) and pain‐free parents (n = 27) completed measures of attentional bias (i.e., pictorial dot probe), interpretation bias (i.e., ambiguous word association task), pain catastrophizing, pain anxiety and somatic symptoms. Parents completed measures of pain catastrophizing and psychological distress.

Results

No differences between offspring of parents with and without pain complaints were observed on pain catastrophizing, pain anxiety and somatic symptoms. Both groups of healthy adolescents predominantly showed benign, non‐health‐threatening interpretations. Children of pain‐free parents showed an attention bias for pain stimuli, while offspring of parents with pain complaints showed no such bias.

Conclusions

Future research is needed to further elucidate the precise role of parental pain in the development of pain‐related biases and the significance of these biases in the onset and/or maintenance of a chronic pain condition in children and adolescents.

Significance

Parental chronic pain may install psychological vulnerability for developing chronic pain and associated complaints in offspring. This study did not show differences in pain‐directed attentional and interpretation bias between offspring of parents with chronic pain complaints and offspring of pain‐free parents. Further (longitudinal) research is needed to elucidate the precise role of parental pain factors in the development of pain‐related vulnerability in offspring of chronic pain parents, thereby identifying important targets for the prevention and early intervention of chronic pain.

Published: June 2019

Gold nanostructures were fabricated on a transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) coated PET substrate by an electrodeposition technique from a potassium gold (III) chloride solution for two different types of applications. It was found that the optical transparency of lightweight ITO electrodes could be maintained by depositing isolated gold nanostructures while opening up the use of these electrodes for inner sphere electron reactions, such as hydroquinone oxidation, which are not possible at ITO electrodes. For practical applications the adhesion of gold to the ITO electrode was improved by modifying the ITO surface with 3‐mercaptopropyl‐trimethoxysilane (MPS). Compared to Au/ITO, the Au/MPS/ITO electrode showed vastly improved electrochemical activity toward various electron transfer reactions when subjected to mechanical stress. The biosensing properties of the Au/MPS/ITO electrode was also investigated by studying the detection of immobilized DNA on the Au/MPS/ITO electrode via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).

A series of 1,2,4‐triazole‐3‐thione derivatives (6a–6t) were synthesized and evaluated against influenza viruses (H1N1) neuraminidase (NA) in vitro. Eighteen compounds exhibited inhibitory potency with IC50 values ranging from 14.68 ± 0.49 to 39.85 ± 4.23 μg/mL. Among them, compounds 6e and 6h showed significant inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 14.97 ± 0.70 and 14.68 ± 0.49 μg/mL, respectively. Structure activity relationships were established. Molecular docking studies were performed to understand the binding interaction between active compounds and NA.
Orange for gold? Arsenic sulfide glass on the V&A Leman Album

Published: June 2019

The so‐called Leman Album comprises over 90 designs for woven silks drawn and coloured in the early 18th century by James Leman, a designer and weaver operating in Spitalfields, East London. The designs are characterised by a very broad palette, which was investigated at the Victoria and Albert Museum using exclusively non‐invasive techniques. Notably, a bright and vibrant orange material was very popular with Leman, who used it extensively. X‐ray fluorescence tests showed that arsenic and sulfur were the predominant elements in the orange areas. A mixture of bright red, orange, and yellow particles could be seen under high magnification. These different types of particles were identified by Raman spectroscopy as arsenic sulfide glasses, that is artificial materials used as substitutes for naturally occurring pigments such as orpiment and realgar. In a few cases, a small amount of mineral orpiment was also detected. Such an extensive use of this artificial pigment is not commonly recorded in the literature. Because in a few of the handwritten comments that Leman made on the reverse of his designs he clearly stated “the orange colour to be gold,” we can reasonably hypothesise that this orange pigment was used for the parts that were intended to be woven with gilded metal threads. Textile designs made by other pattern‐makers working in Spitalfields in the same period as Leman were also analysed for comparison. Arsenic sulfide glass was detected in most of the orange areas, confirming that this material was certainly popular amongst silk designers of 18th‐century London.
