Shavian Media: The Meaning of “Shavian” after Shaw
Authors: Oncins-Martínez José Luis
Published: June 2020

From the inception of the adjective “Shavian,” a sought-after term that Shaw came up with almost by chance, the meaning and use of this word has changed a great deal. Once merely denotative, it used to refer to everything Shaw related. Progressively, it came to be used to qualify those works and ideas that were typically Shaw's, that is, the idiosyncratically “Shavian” stuff. The purpose of this article is to situate the meaning of the word “Shavian” and to trace the evolution of its meaning in later years, especially as the arrival of new media made it possible for this word to colonize other domains. In order to do so, a corpus-based analysis of the most common collocates for “Shavian” has been utilized to map the recurring binomials that shape the meaning of the term. Later, this article looks into specific uses of the term that, for different reasons, have come to be used (1) in a sense that is alien to what is usually covered by Shaw studies and/or (2) in new media of the digital age. This part allows us to gain insights into the semantic transformation of “Shavian” after Shaw.
Re-formation in Action: Liberty in a Wesleyan Spirit and Praxis—The Tolpuddle Martyrs, Part II
Authors: Schuler Ulrike
Published: June 2020

This article (in two parts) focuses on Methodist agricultural labourers who founded one of the first British trade unions in 1833. Six of them, including three Methodist local preachers, were convicted of taking an unlawful oath on joining the union. In consequence, they were sentenced to seven years' transportation to Australia. Part II of this article begins with recounting the public outcry over their sentences leading to a full pardon being granted to them three years later. The article focuses on the labourers' religious motives, drawing especially on writings of George Loveless, the group's spokesman. These men demonstrated a deep scriptural faithfulness, and their Wesleyan understanding of God's liberating grace motivated their actions and commitment to social and religious liberty and justice.
Análise das percepções e expectativas de estudantes de Química Licenciatura acerca das suas escolhas de carreira
Authors: Souza Denise Santos de , Silva Cristine Santos de Souza da , Andrade Neto Agostinho Serrano de
Published: June 2020

A crescente falta de interesse pelo ingresso em carreiras relacionadas à docência tem sido constatada em diversos estudos. Como agravante a esta situação, muitos estudos revelam que a evasão dos graduandos em cursos de licenciatura tem se acentuado nas últimas décadas. No que tange a área da Química, esta situação requer atenção especial, uma vez que a falta de professores especialistas nas escolas é crescente e decorre da ausência de profissionais formados na área, ou mesmo, do desinteresse dos especialistas em atuar na licenciatura. Diante disso, fundamentando-se que a falta de interesse se origina em diversos os fatores, educacionais ou não, o presente estudo investigou a percepção dos graduandos em Química Licenciatura acerca dos aspectos que influenciaram sua escolha de formação, suas opiniões sobre o curso de graduação e suas expectativas em relação ao futuro profissional. A metodologia utilizada caracteriza-se em uma abordagem quantitativa, realizada por meio de aplicação de um questionário a alunos de uma universidade do sul do Brasil. Os resultados demostraram que o interesse pelos assuntos relacionados à Química é o fator predominante na escolha de carreira, além da facilidade que os alunos apresentavam nas disciplinas de ciências no período escolar, do reconhecimento da química perante à sociedade e da fácil colocação profissional. Ademais, verificou-se que a influência familiar não está relacionada ao processo de escolha profissional dos graduandos. Em relação à evasão, os estudantes não se mostraram propensos a desistir do curso, assim como, se revelaram otimistas quanto as suas perspectivas em relação a futura atuação profissional.
Como a Física aplicada ao trânsito foi abordada no ENEM de 1998 até 2018?
Authors: Vizzotto Patrick Alves , Mackedanz Luiz Fernando
Published: June 2020

Resumo: Apresentamos os resultados de uma pesquisa documental que analisou as características de itens do ENEM que abordaram a Física aplicada ao trânsito. Os índices e causas de acidentes reforçam a importância de o tema ser discutido na escola. A Física ganha um papel fundamental no debate, pois pode fornecer subsídios para a compreensão das relações de causa e efeito que os fenômenos científicos podem acarretar em situações do trânsito. Assim, justifica-se o desejo de conhecer como um exame da magnitude do ENEM abordou esse tema, aliado à Física, durante os seus 20 anos de aplicação. Encontramos 33 itens, que foram analisados de acordo com suas características e comparados com os eixos de Alfabetização Científica propostos por Miller (1983). A maioria deles encaixou-se dentro dos parâmetros de itens conteudistas. Nenhum abordou aspectos epistemológicos e apenas uma parcela pequena versou sobre o impacto da ciência e tecnologia na sociedade e ambiente. Além disso, aplicamos a noção de Proficiência Científica para agrupar 24% dos itens que não puderam ser classificados nos eixos acima mencionados. Ainda sugerimos, em estudos futuros, analisar os 33 itens à luz da psicometria através dos Microdados do ENEM.
Evadir ou persistir? Uma disciplina introdutória centrada no fomento à persistência nos cursos de licenciatura em Física
Authors: Heidemann Leonardo Albuquerque , Moraes Kaluti Rossi de Martini , Giongo Sandro Luiz
Published: June 2020

As altas taxas de evasão nos cursos de licenciatura em Física constituem em um importante problema para a educação brasileira. Formaturas com menos de dez alunos são frequentes nesses cursos ao mesmo tempo em que a Educação Básica carece de profissionais formados na área. Ações efetivas de combate à evasão são fundamentais, portanto, para as universidades do país. Neste artigo, relatamos as ações que estão sendo desenvolvidas em uma disciplina introdutória das licenciaturas em Física da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) com o objetivo de fomentar a motivação dos estudantes para persistirem nos cursos. Fundamentados no Modelo da Motivação da Persistência do Estudante de Vincent Tinto, desenvolvemos atividades com o objetivo de promover a melhora das percepções dos estudantes sobre: i. suas capacidades para suprirem as demandas do curso (crenças de autoeficácia); ii. seus pertencimentos como membros de uma comunidade que valoriza suas participações na instituição (senso de pertencimento); e iii. o valor e/ou relevância dos estudos previstos no currículo dos seus cursos (percepção de currículo). A avaliação da disciplina evidencia que ela tem motivado os estudantes para persistirem, fomentando entre eles a construção de uma identidade docente, uma maior compreensão conceitual de teorias da Física, e o estabelecimento de relações entre os conteúdos previstos no currículo.

Published: June 2020

As práticas de ensino são componentes curriculares obrigatórios nos cursos de licenciatura no Brasil e têm sido objeto de estudo no decorrer dos últimos anos, em que se busca qualificar os processos de formação de professores. Tendo como objetivo investigar as contribuições de uma metodologia diferenciada realizada em aulas de práticas de ensino, desenvolvida em um curso de licenciatura em Química de uma universidade pública, realizou-se este estudo, que apresenta as possibilidades formativas de uma atividade de simulação de aula. A atividade de simulação teve como intenção proporcionar, aos futuros professores, experiências reais da vivência em sala de aula antes da realização do estágio curricular e, ainda, a compreensão dos desafios e possibilidades do planejamento de ensino e da execução em sala de aula. Por meio do relato de uma licencianda, participante da atividade, em seu diário de bordo, um instrumento utilizado como registro de reflexão pessoal, identificou-se o desenvolvimento de entendimentos acerca das características reais da sala de aula, tais como tempo de aula, interação professor-aluno e a vivência de situações inesperadas de ensino. Destaca-se que a experiência vivenciada, por meio do processo de simulação de aula, qualificou o processo formativo por meio do desenvolvimento de saberes experienciais.
Driving SMEs Through Nepotism and Individualism: A Cross Cultural Analysis & Implications for Enterprise Success in Sub-Sahara Africa
Authors: Emonena Sunny Ekakitie , Matteo Egede Nwawuku
Published: June 2020

As we gravitate deeper into the 21st century, work patterns that drive productivity tend towards teamwork, group specialization, hi-tech and hi-touch processes. This study in acknowledging this new paradigm advocates the adoption of the twin practices of nepotism and individualism for African SMEs. The authors argue that given the peculiar cultural inclinations of Africans where socio-economic activities are woven around family subsistence and individualism in optimizing skills and competences, coupled with readily available labour in most African families; it will be economically wise to drive SMEs set-up and start-ups through family. The authors contend that given the weak capacities of African entrepreneurs competitively, they can become effective if they make a strategic retreat and gradually develop their enterprises via deploying family resources cost effectively to increment capacities for productivity. The paper in examining extant literature evidenced the application of nepotism and individual acumen in the growth of enterprises across notable cultures in the world. Theories of entrepreneurship lending credence to arguments canvassed include Cantillon’s theory, the Knightian theory, the individual-opportunity nexus theory and the Mill’s theory of individualism among others. These along with empirical studies outcome cited reveal the immense benefits and successes recoverable in the creation/administration of SMEs along these dimensions. In the light of these benefits, the authors suggest among others that policies of government in sub-Saharan Africa should tilt towards incentives for family-patterned SMEs. It also advocates for a platform were innovative SMEs can receive recognition and sponsorship from government and trade/industrial associations. Finally, the paper suggests that SMEs in Africa link up via the Internet with SMEs abroad with a history of family business to learn success and survival strategies and gradually become global players themselves.

Published: June 2020

Inventory constitutes the substantial portion of the cost of production of firms. Conglomerate firms faced a challenge pf dwindling return due to the huge cost of production of which inventory constitute the larger portion. Studies have shown that effective inventory management which entails forecasting, acquisition, transportation, inspection, material handling, storing, warehousing, suppliers’ management and inventory security are germane in reducing the cost of production to the barest minimum and enhance the returns. This study examined the effect of inventory control (inventory procurement control, inventory security control and inventory usage control) on the financial performance of listed conglomerate firms in Nigeria. The study adopted both field and empirical survey research design. The population of the study constitutes the entire six (6) listed conglomerates as at 31st December, 2018. The target population represent 108 staff of the finance and store sections out of which seventy-two were selected using quota sampling techniques for the administration of structure questionnaire, while total enumeration technique was used for the secondary data. The research instrument was validated by checking the constructs of the questions in the questionnaire using content validity. Cronbach Alpha reliability test was carried out and the result showed that the research instrument is reliable with an overall value of 0.988 which is greater than 0.70-0.80 threshold. 68 out of 72 administered structured questionnaire were retrieved representing 94.4% retrieved and used for the analysis. Secondary data extracted from the audited annual reports and accounts for a period of twenty-two (22) years yielding 110 unbalanced firm year observations were used. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed for testing the hypotheses. The findings revealed that: inventory control significantly affects financial performance of listed conglomerate firms in Nigeria (Adj.R2= 0.873, F(3,65)=10.19, p< 0.1); inventory procurement control has significant positive effect on financial performance (β= .628, R2= 0.565, t(67)= 3.494, p <0.1); inventory security control exerts significant positive effect on financial performance (β= .535, R2= 0.706, t(67)= 2.684, p< 0.1); and inventory usage control significantly and positively influence financial performance (β= .531, R2= 0.492, t(67)= 2.844, p <0.1). Also, inventory turnover period exerted insignificant positive effect on financial performance (β= 4.64, R2= 0.006, t(108)= 0.83, p> 0.1). The study concluded that inventory control significantly influence financial performance of listed conglomerate firms in Nigeria. The study recommended that management of the firm should improve on suppliers’ strategic relationship and provides adequate automated security for monitoring the movements of inventory in the firm.

Published: June 2020

Objective To evaluate the current status of pain severity and quality of life (QoL) in patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), and to assess both their perceived needs and any unmet needs of current rehabilitation services. Methods A single-center questionnaire-based survey was conducted on 47 patients with CRPS who were diagnosed based on Budapest’s criteria. It collected demographic and clinical data, and the structured questionnaire included the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), the Korean version of the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule II (WHODAS-K II), as well as the 5-Level EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D-5L) for measuring the QoL. Results The average value of BPI and WHODAS-K II were 7.69%±2.26% and 70.49%±19.22%, respectively. In the evaluation of their perceived needs and unmet needs for rehabilitation, patients had the highest rehabilitation needs in terms of pain (95.74%), followed by bodyaches (80.85%). Regarding their unmet needs, patients had the highest unmet needs in terms of memory impairment (83.33%), followed by weight management (72.00%). According to the regression analysis, only the overall BPI was significantly associated with QoL (p=0.01), and a higher BPI value led to poorer results for QoL. Conclusion In Korea, patients with CRPS do not receive adequate rehabilitation, and they are not satisfied with current received treatments. A more structured and individualized rehabilitation treatment plan is required to manage every aspect related to chronic pain, and provision should be made for improved care guidelines for future CRPS management.
Delineation of Soil Moisture Potentials and Moisture Balance Components
Authors: Bhatt Rajan , Swaroop Meena Ram
Published: June 2020

Root architecture in soils is directly affecting crop yield potential, through influencing the moisture potential of soil and its balance components, as only transpiration share is useful for them. Soil moisture potential responsible for the soil moisture curves on the basis of differential energy states is quite important. Generally, a soil moisture flow rate is considered for its kinetic energy. Consequently, soil moisture energy state is defined by its equivalent potential energy, which is by virtue of its place in a force field which could assist to improve the water-use efficiency. Irrigation water losses significantly occur under the flood irrigation through evaporation, seepage, and drainage. While the soil moisture potential declines with help of the tensiometer, and significantly save the irrigation water. For evaluating the performance of any resource conservation technologies (RCT) in the region, estimation of the evapotranspiration (ET) is very important to analyze the effect of the RCT. It is also helpful in balancing the nutrient inflows in the plants through roots, which results to the improvement of land and water productivity. Hence, delineation of the soil moisture potentials and moisture balance components is important to improve the land as well as water productivity; it makes the livelihood security better in the water-stressed regions on the globe. This chapter deals with the methodological part of soil moisture potentials and moisture balance components, which is useful for the policymakers, modelers, scientists, students, and teachers engaged in the irrigation experiments under texturally divergent soils.
The Role of Irrigation and Nitrogen Fertilization on the Feeding Behavior of European Corn Borer
Authors: Sarajlić Ankica , Raspudić Emilija , Lončarić Zdenko , Josipović Marko , Majić Ivana
Published: June 2020

European corn borer (ECB) creates tunnels inside the plant stalks, causing damage, which could significantly decrease yield loss. This study aimed to determine the relationship between damage caused by ECB larval feeding and different irrigation and nitrogen fertilization rates on different maize genotypes. We conducted a field experiment in Croatia from 2012 to 2014. Increased plant nitrogen adsorption was observed under irrigation only in drought years, and it was decreased in optimal or extremely wet years. We found a weak or a moderate relationship between ECB damage and nitrogen concentration, but the greatest ECB damage was in all years recorded in treatments with the highest fertilization rates. However, the highest plant nitrogen concentration was observed in the hybrid with the lowest damage from ECB larvae. The maize damage caused by ECB larval feeding was negatively affected by high plant nitrogen concentrations only when plants were under drought stress. Nitrogen uptake was increased in irrigated plots. We did not find a strong relationship between the C/N ratio or irrigation and intensity of ECB damage. In 2012, when the narrowest C/N ratio was calculated, the greatest damage by ECB was measured. Further studies are needed since we detected the significant impact of drought on intensive ECB larval feeding.

A narrativa visual no ensino da fotografia: uma revisão sistemática de literatura
Authors: Amaral Ana Leticia Oliveira do , Gonçalves Berenice Santos , Alvarez Edgar Bisset
Published: June 2020

A produção de imagens faz parte da evolução da humanidade, bem como está intimamente ligada ao ato de contar histórias. Imagens, em especial as fotográficas, configuram uma poderosa forma de comunicação, visto que mensagens visuais estimulam respostas emocionais e intelectuais, ou seja, elas permitem o sentir e o refletir sobre um determinado assunto. Nessa perspectiva, compreender a relação entre narrativa e fotografia digital é fundamental para potencializar a linguagem visual e imagética, principalmente na formação de profissionais, como designers, que utilizam a fotografia como um recurso constante. Diante disso, este estudo se propôs a identificar pesquisas atuais que abordem a narrativa nos processos de leitura e escrita de imagens fotográficas. Para tanto, adotou-se como método uma revisão sistemática de literatura. A partir dos resultados alcançados nesse processo, é possível afirmar que os estudos se concentram em três eixos principais: quanto à narrativa criada por coleção, ou seja, narrativa produzida por uma sequência de imagens; quanto à narrativa composta em uma única imagem fixa; e quanto aos métodos e inovações na representação fotográfica. Ao final, fica evidente que o reduzido número de publicações envolvendo estratégias que fomentem o desenvolvimento das habilidades de leitura e de escrita de imagens fotográficas associadas aos estudos narratológicos indicam uma necessidade de ampliação de pesquisas com essa temática.
Collaborative design methodologies for clothing flat modeling
Authors: Santiago Elida Beqluice Araújo , Noronha Raquel Gomes , Zandomeneghi Ana Lucia Alexandre de Oliveira
Published: June 2020

This article reflects on the importance of collaborative design methodologies in the construction of new configurations for teaching flat clothing modeling. Within the field of teaching fashion and clothing, but specifically in the disciplines of flat modeling, several problems can be identified regarding teaching-learning. Silva and França (2018) state that there is little perceived ability to understand the execution of the molds on the part of the students, which cause the discipline to be seen with a high degree of complexity, causing dissatisfaction, both on the part of the students and by part of the teachers who teach it. This article is based on data, four surveys carried out in fashion and clothing courses in Brazil regarding teaching-learning of the flat modeling technique and from the gaps identified in its results, we will substantiate the paths taken by this research.Based on the assumption that the understanding of the reasons and the difficulties present in the contexts of the researches carried out on teaching and learning of flat modeling in recent years, are not due to individual and solitary actions, but to collective constructions of all the authors involved. In this work, concepts of collaborative design methodologies are explored, as innovative and effective methods of this construction. Understanding that, through collaborative means, it is possible to contribute with activities and solutions from different fields, starting from a new perspective when conceiving formal concepts and solutions.Thus, the question that guides this study and which will be answered is: how can collaborative design methodologies contribute to the flat modeling of clothing? The article is structured in four topics, which aims to clarify points and difficulties raised in research that were carried out in recent years on teaching and learning of flat modeling through a systematic literature review that points out data on the state of the art of flat modeling and its relationship with collaborative methodologies.

Doing Things With Natures
Authors: Paavolainen Teemu
Published: June 2020

The article expands on Lewis and Maslin’s “double two-step” historicization of the Anthropocene, with two major transitions in energy (agriculture and fossil fuels) and two in social organization (modernity and the Great Acceleration). Insofar as planetary impacts arise from “what we spend our time doing” – foraging, farming, feudal then waged labour, finally unsustainable consumption – such “doing” is understood as precisely ‘performative’ in the sense that its effects only arise from a massive social repetition that is confused with essential nature and thus concealed. Through a graphic model of such ‘plural performativity,’ four consecutive Anthropo(s)cenes are sketched: the Giving World of agriculture and state formation; the New World of colonial pillage and world trade; the Netherworld of wage labour and fossil capital; then ‘All the World’ but not with all of “us” as players. Apart from environmental changes, the paper targets performances of power and inequality: normative histories of ‘common sense’ on the one hand, concealing ‘people’s histories’ of conflict and opposition, on the other – the Anthropocene arising not simply from what the majority of people have been doing, but from what they have always beenforced to do.
Para-Anthropo(s)cene Aesthetics Between Despair and Beauty
Authors: Skjoldager-Nielsen Kim , Skjoldager-Nielsen Daria
Published: June 2020

The Anthropocene is gaining recognition as an epoch in Earth’s history in which mankind is changing the environment and the biosphere (Steffen et.al. 2011). Hotel Pro Forma’s visual opera NeoArctic (2016) and Yggdrasil Dance’s dance meditation Siku Aapoq/ Melting Ice (2015) explore how to aesthetically shape the ecological impact on human existence. The article discusses the performances’ impact on potential responses to the climate crisis.

In NeoArctic, human activities have caused “overflow feedback”: a constant flow of digital vistas of pollution, raging weather, temperature rises alternate with the planet’s eternal processes, while underscored by ambience and operatic electro-pop. The images are front-projected onto the stage backdrop to create a literal overflow of the steadfast choir-performers, in which they almost disappear or become ghostly shadows, implying their imminent demise or insignificance on a planetary scale.

Siku Aapoq engages with Greenland’s melting icecap: two dancers, Norwegian and Inuit, interact with a fabric understood as the melting ice, while enveloped in evocative lights, the crackling of glaciers, Inuit chants, ambience, and jazz. The Norwegian and the Inuit take turns enacting the ice, suggesting the interconnectedness with nature of both cultures.

Both performances seem to invite acceptance of inevitable disaster. Yet, human prevalence is implied in the stagings by convergence of past and future in the present, which suggests that the future is still undecided, and survival depends on an ability to respond to the materiality of the environment that we are already entangled in through a profound sense of beauty.

Theoretically, the analyses mainly draw on agential realism (Karen Barad) in order to outline a “para-Anthropo(s)cene aesthetics” that may reach beyond the human and engage spectators in realizing their ethical entanglement and the call for climate action. Considering intentions and reception, and the dystopian nature of the performances, the responses to climate change that the aesthetics may instigate are discussed.
Baby Becomings
Authors: Hovik Lise , Pérez Elena
Published: June 2020

The article proposes new concepts of dramaturgical thinking for baby theatre productions. With an arts-based research approach, allowing insiderperspectives of the artmaking process to come forth, the authors, who are the director and dramaturge of the performance Baby Becomings by Teater Fot, discuss different concepts of postdramatic dramaturgical aspects in relation to the work. By adapting Donna Haraway’s theories of sympoiesis and science art worldings as a theoretical framework, the article explores how Haraway’s philosophy serves both as artistic inspiration and provides new concepts for dramaturgical reflection. The authors ask how posthumanist and sympoietic perspectives connect to postdramatic dramaturgy and wish to propose a posthumanist dramaturgy of sympoietic worlding in theatre for babies.
Theatricality and Drifting in the Anthropocene
Authors: Lavery Carl
Published: June 2020

This essay proposes a new way of reading the Situationist notion of dérive (drift) in the Anthropocene by thinking of it as an operation that is geological in impetus, a sense of movement caused by an agentic earth. Equally, it looks to offer an alternative and expanded theory of theatricality in which the theatrical is no longer associated with theatre per se. On the contrary, it is now seen as a mode of representation that deterritorializes spectators by placing them in the midst of groundless flows and anonymous processes. In the same way that the earth in the Anthropocene is figured as a dynamic and unstable planet, so drifting and theatricality, when brought together, radicalise our extant understandings of the stage by allowing it to become motile, a terrestrial force. Here, the ecological potential of theatre is not found in staging plays about climate change or insisting on site-specificity, but in thinking through the geological power of theatricality, its capacity to exist as a type of plate tectonics. Such an expanded understanding of theatricality explains why instead of paying attention to a specific theatre production or even to the medium of theatre in a restricted sense, I examine how, in their 1958 text and image collaboration Mémoires, the Danish artist Asger Jorn and his friend Guy Debord were able to transform the page into a stage – to theatricalize and geologize reading. In an attempt, simultaneously, to expand and undo itself, the article is not content to conceptualize its argument, it looks to theatricalize itself, to become a kind of drift, a geology of writing.

The Farm-Household models have been used to analyze ex-ante different policies; however, the state of the art is unknown in relation to the evaluation of biodiversity within these models. For this reason, a systematic review on Farm-Household models that integrate the “biodiversity” variable is required. For this purpose, we consulted a specialized search engine, applying a generic search strategy, which identified 1420 articles, of which only 23 were selected based on specific inclusion criteria. There is a gap in the evaluation of biodiversity within Farm-Household models.
Kinetics of Cr(VI) adsorption from aqueous medium onto bentonite
Authors: Petrović Rada
Published: June 2020

Because of its abundance and toxicity, heavy metals have become a seriousenvironmental problem. The presence of heavy metals, such as Cr(VI), in thewatercourses leads to numerous health problems in humans and animals. Cr(VI) ishighly toxic, even in low concentrations. Because of its carcinogenic, mutagenic andteratogenic effects on human beings, Cr(VI) is considered one of the most criticalpollutants. Due to this, it is necessary to remove Cr(VI) from wastewater prior to itsdischarge into the recipient.This paper studied the possibility for application of bentonite as an adsorbent forCr(VI) from aqueous medium. The characterization of bentonite was determined withchemical composition, specific surface, XRD method and FTIR. Optimal parameterssuch as pH of solution, adsorbent weight, time of adsorption and temperaturewere examined. Values of those parameters were: initial pH value of solution pH=2,adsorbent weight 2 g, time of adsorption 60 min, temperature 308 K. Experimentaldata were obtained by Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm adsorption models as wellas pseudo-first and pseudo-second order kinetics. Results were best described withFreundlich isotherm adsorption model and pseudo-second order kinetics.

Authors: Ćorović Marija
Published: June 2020

Lignocellulosic biomass is widely abundant in nature and recognized aspotential renewable energy source. Its efficient transformation into bio-basedfuels is enabled only after adequate pretreatment, followed by enzymaticsacharification and microbial fermentation. Hereby we present application of twocellulase preparations – from Aspergillus niger and Trichoderma reesei (Celluclast®)in treating sunflower seed meal lignocellulosic fraction (SSMLF). Temperature andpH optimums of two enzymes were determined – 52 °C and pH4.8 for A. nigercellulase and 55 °C and pH4.5 for Celluclast®. At optimized conditions, milledSSMLF was hydrolyzed by both biocatalysts. With A. niger cellulase higher initialreaction rates were accomplished and yield of 70 mM glucose equivalent wasobtained with 6 % (w/v) of enzyme after 6 hours. On the other hand, applicationof Celluclast® led to lower initial reaction rates and yielded 25 mM of glucoseequivalent with 10 % (v/v) of enzyme. To ensure cost-effective application ofA. niger cellulase, the possibility of its immobilization on different supports wasinvestigated. By using porous methacrylate-based carrier with C6 spacer arm andprimary amino groups – LifetechTM ECR8409, preparation with highest activity wasproduced. This preparation was successfully applied in saccharification of SSMLFand showed unchanged catalytic efficiency comparing to free enzyme.

Published: June 2020

This article is dedicated to one of the actively developing translation aspects in the Russian translation studies – the technology of website localization of Buryat State University. The author determines its key stages and analyzes the main translation techniques. Special attention is paid to the main aspects of localization (content, translation techniques, special lexicon, grammatical transformations, intercultural peculiarities, pragmatic adaptation). The subject of this research became the translation technique of the content of university website from Russian to English. The scientific novelty consists in identification of the aspects of localization of a university website and determination of techniques for translation of terms of the academic discourse. A conclusion is formulated that website localization is a creative process of adaptation of the content to language and cultural peculiarities of the local market. It is not limited just by the translation of text, but rather represents a form of intercultural communication, which successfulness is possible upon the condition of taking into account the sociocultural markers of the language of users.
To the question on the efficiency of Greek-Latin terminological elements within the German veterinary system of terms
Authors: Khakimova Giulnara
Published: June 2020

The subject of this research is the auxiliary terminological elements of Greek-Latin origin, determined by the author at the current state of study from the German one-word veterinary terms. The article considers the problem of word creation within the veterinary terminological system of German language using the terminological material of classical languages. The goal consists in identification of the most efficient morphological ways of word creation based on affixation, derivational activity of auxiliary Greek-Latin terminological elements in creation of derivative veterinary terms in German language, as well as review of the semantics of most frequent initial and completive terminological elements. Based on the analysis of the corpus of factual material, the author concludes that the most efficient out of morphological ways of derivatives of nouns and adjectives is the prefix-suffix method. The novelty of this research consists in determination of the most frequent initial and completive auxiliary terminological elements in German veterinary sublanguage among one-word derivatives.
The copy-number and varied strengths of MELT motifs in Spc105 balance the strength and responsiveness of the spindle assembly checkpoint
Authors: Roy Babhrubahan , Han Simon JY , Fontan Adrienne Nicole , Joglekar Ajit P
Published: June 2020

During mitosis, the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint (SAC) maintains genome stability while also ensuring timely anaphase onset. To maintain genome stability, the SAC must be strong to delay anaphase even if just one chromosome is unattached, but for timely anaphase onset, it must promptly respond to silencing mechanisms. How the SAC meets these potentially antagonistic requirements is unclear. Here we show that the balance between SAC strength and responsiveness is determined by the number of ‘MELT’ motifs in the kinetochore protein Spc105/KNL1 and their Bub3-Bub1 binding affinities. Many strong MELT motifs per Spc105/KNL1 minimize chromosome missegregation, but too many delay anaphase onset. We demonstrate this by constructing a Spc105 variant that trades SAC responsiveness for much more accurate chromosome segregation. We propose that the necessity of balancing SAC strength and responsiveness drives the dual evolutionary trend of the amplification of MELT motif number, but degeneration of their functionally optimal amino acid sequence.
Developments in marine invertebrate primary culture reveal novel cell morphologies in the model bivalve Crassostrea gigas

Cell culture provides useful model systems used in a wide range of biological applications, but its utility in marine invertebrates is limited due to the lack of immortalised cell lines. Primary cell and tissue cultures are typically used but remain poorly characterised for oysters, which can cause issues with experimental consistency and reproducibility. Improvements to methods of repeatable isolation, culture, and characterisation of oyster cells and tissues are required to help address these issues. In the current study, systematic improvements have been developed to facilitate the culture of primary cells from adult Pacific oyster tissues and identify novel cell morphologies that have not been reported previously. Cultures analysed by light microscopy, qPCR, and live cell imaging demonstrated maintenance of live, metabolically active Pacific oyster cells for several weeks post-explant. Interestingly, whole hearts dissected from adult oysters were found to continue contracting rhythmically up to 8 weeks after being transferred to a tissue culture system. Mantle tissue explants were also actively moving in the culture system. These improvements in primary cell culture of bivalves may be beneficial for research in ecotoxicology, virology, immunology, and genetic resistance to disease.
