Authors: Latriglia Castro Leslie Xiomara , Vera Oyola César
Published: July 2021

En la zona de la altillanura Colombiana se ha observado un alto potencial para la recuperación de áreas degradadas, captura y almacenamiento de carbono (C), puesto que existen grandes extensiones de sistemas pastoriles, por tanto se podría implementar proyectos que conlleven a la reducción de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI), particularmente de dióxido de carbono (CO2), lo cual podría ser similar al de algunos ecosistemas de bosque nativo secundario. Su difusión tiene como fin contribuir a la reflexión sobre los riesgos ambientales en que se podría incurrir al transformar un ecosistema natural de pastizales como los Llanos Orientales de Colombia. Inicialmente se realiza una descripción generalizada de lo que es la captura de carbono, ciclo de carbono, el cambio climático y gases de efecto invernadero, protocolo de Kyoto, sistema pastoriles con sumidero de carbono, parámetros que se determinan en la captura de carbono, producción primaria neta aérea y subterránea, la retención y acumulación de C en suelos bajo pastos de gramíneas introducidas. También se realiza una identificación de las condiciones agroecológicas y socioeconómicas más relevantes de la altillanura colombiana, que aporten la mayor cantidad de elementos sobre la oferta que le brinda esta subregión a la captura de carbono, en factores como suelos, clima, infraestructuras y recursos humanos, realizando un análisis comparativo entre los requerimientos agroclimatológicos y la captura de carbono como sistema productivo, donde se establecen las principales oportunidades y fortalezas del tema. Se concluye que la generación de forrajes adaptados a suelos marginales es clave para maximizar los beneficios de las pasturas mejoradas, además de incrementar el secuestro de carbono las pasturas pueden ser parte sistemas agrosilvopastoriles, con efectos positivos en el rendimiento de los cultivos y la mitigación del efecto invernadero.

OBJECTIVE

To compare the clinical effects of a personalized postprandial-targeting (PPT) diet versus a Mediterranean (MED) diet on glycemic control and metabolic health in prediabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We randomly assigned adults with prediabetes (n = 225) to follow a MED diet or a PPT diet for a 6-month dietary intervention and additional 6-month follow-up. The PPT diet relies on a machine learning algorithm that integrates clinical and microbiome features to predict personal postprandial glucose responses. During the intervention, all participants were connected to continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and self-reported dietary intake using a smartphone application.

RESULTS

Among 225 participants randomized (58.7% women, mean ± SD age 50 ± 7 years, BMI 31.3 ± 5.8 kg/m2, HbA1c, 5.9 ± 0.2% [41 ± 2.4 mmol/mol], fasting plasma glucose 114 ± 12 mg/dL [6.33 ± 0.67 mmol/L]), 200 (89%) completed the 6-month intervention. A total of 177 participants also contributed 12-month follow-up data. Both interventions reduced the daily time with glucose levels >140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) and HbA1c levels, but reductions were significantly greater in PPT compared with MED. The mean 6-month change in “time above 140” was −0.3 ± 0.8 h/day and −1.3 ± 1.5 h/day for MED and PPT, respectively (95% CI between-group difference −1.29 to −0.66, P < 0.001). The mean 6-month change in HbA1c was −0.08 ± 0.19% (−0.9 ± 2.1 mmol/mol) and −0.16 ± 0.24% (−1.7 ± 2.6 mmol/mol) for MED and PPT, respectively (95% CI between-group difference −0.14 to −0.02, P = 0.007). The significant between-group differences were maintained at 12-month follow-up. No significant differences were noted between the groups in a CGM-measured oral glucose tolerance test.

CONCLUSIONS

In this clinical trial in prediabetes, a PPT diet improved glycemic control significantly more than a MED diet as measured by daily time of glucose levels >140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) and HbA1c. These findings may have implications for dietary advice in clinical practice.
Analysis of Computer Modelling Results on Fuel Rods Strength and Condition at Reduced or Absent Cooling Caused by Accident
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Lys Stepan
Published: July 2021

The paper describes the phenomenology of fuel rod behaviour in severe accident. As an example, an experiment is described resulting in severe damage of 19 fuel rod assembly of VVER type; it was carried out in the CORA facility in 1993 (Research Centre, Karlsruhe, Germany). Testing conditions and results of post-test investigations of fuel assembly are given. The fuel rod code RAPTA-SFD is briefly dealt with; the code was a participant in the International Standard Problem ISP-36. The basic results are presented acquired by computer modelling CORA-W2 experiment using RAPTA-SFD code. Among the presented experimentally acquired and calculated results, the scope of the data on stainless steel component behaviour is substantial. The tested CORA-W2 fuel assembly contained a significant quantity of steel components, viz., spacer grids, a guide thimble, and a cladding of an absorber element. It is to be borne in mind that the spacer grids and a guide thimble of the updated and upgraded fuel assembly of VVER-1000 are fabricated from Zr-alloy, hence, the relative quantitative characteristics of chemical interactions between materials and stainless steel (Cr-Ni alloy) will be much lower for the up-to-date upgraded fuel assembly under identical conditions.

Authors:   Institute of Engineering Thermophysics of NAS of Ukraine, Petrova Zhanna , Samoilenko Kateryna
Published: July 2021

Equilibrium moisture of combined vegetable powders obtained from vegetable raw materials is one of the main technological properties and it is important. Because the final moisture content and energy costs for the dehydration process depend on this indicator. To determine the equilibrium humidity of the samples of combined powders, depending on the relative humidity, the tensometric (static) method of Van Bamelen was used. As a result of researches, kinetic curves of adsorption of water vapor of mono- and combined vegetable powders, which were compared among themselves, were received. Comparison of adsorption isotherms, despite the same nature of these isotherms, show that these materials are capillary-porous colloidal bodies and have the same forms of moisture binding (adsorption, capillary and osmotic) and at the same time differ significantly from each other by equilibrium humidity. When storing composite powders in order to preserve their technological properties, it is recommended to maintain the following conditions in the room: humidity not more than 60 % at the temperature of 20 - 25 ºC and to pack hermetically.
Dynamic Modes of Synchronous Electric Drive with Centrifugal Hydraulic Load of Pump Station
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Lysiak Vladyslav , Oliinyk Mykhailo
Published: July 2021

The contemporary state of the modelling of the pump station’s electric drive in a complex with its centrifugal hydraulic load has been analysed. It was found that most studies focus either on the modelling and development of automatic control systems for the asynchronous electric drive of pumps or on the optimization of performance indicators of the station as a whole. Besides, usually only one of the subsystems of a pumping station (or an electrically-operated pump unit) is modelled with a good degree of detail: either electromagnetic or hydraulic. This approach does not allow a concurrent research of electromagnetic and hydraulic processes in them. The paper proposes a comprehensive mathematical model of the dynamic modes of the synchronous electrically-operated centrifugal pump unit with a pipeline, in which the electromagnetic and hydraulic subsystems are presented with a balanced degree of detail. The developed model was verified and its viable applications were suggested.

Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Kokoshko Roman , Kril Oleksandr , Kril Bohdan
Published: July 2021

Compressed air is an important medium for energy transfer in industrial processes. It drives various actuators, which create a large force for significant movements and a high operation speed. Thereat, these mechanisms are quite small, and the design is simple and reliable. They are applicable in food and pharmaceutical technologies. Compressed air systems belong to the largest energy consumers at such enterprises. They consist of several compressors, and the drive of one of them is powered by a frequency converter in order to save electrical energy. This is called a multiple air compressor system, and its operation is controlled by a separate controller – master controller. The paper discusses the results of developing the master controller design and its operation algorithm. As an additional informative signal in the developed design of the master controller, air flow rate measurements are used; additionally, the speed of the air flow rate variation is analysed.

Published: July 2021

Indonesiaâ€™s education sector has also been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The learning process has changed from conventional to online learning. Many students find it challenging to capture and understand their knowledge because they are accustomed to the learning process through face-to-face interactions with teachers. Teachers need to create a teaching system that is more efficient than just completing the curriculum. Regarding this problem, Zenius, as an educational application from Indonesia, issued the â€œZenius Untuk Guruâ€ platform, which helps teachers create learning systems. The product launch attracted influential online media in Indonesia, Liputan6.com and Republika.co.id. The interesting point about the launch platform is that these two online media display the related news with different framing. This research using Entmanâ€™s framing theory to describe how the two media perceive the platform. The results show that Liputan6. com frames Zenius commercially, while Republika.co.id communicates Zenius as a problem solver to improve teacher literacy in less technologically literate areas. Zenius also helps Indonesia in equalizing education to remote areas of Indonesia.

Culture is one of the most important spheres of human society, reflecting its level of development. Spiritual and material values that constitute the national wealth of a country are produced, accumulated, and preserved there. The spiritual wealth of culture is not subject to the influence of time and the processes of inflation and is a real means of accumulation. Culture enriches people with knowledge, helps them to evolve, and transmits cultural heritage from generation to generation, accumulated over many years. By understanding culture as a particular sphere of human activity, we have the prospect of purposeful management of it. Culture in this context is understood as a result of accumulated, transmitted, and produced cultural practices of people. Such practices are concentrated in museums, exhibition halls, theatres, houses of culture, art schools, libraries, creative workshops, etc.

Published: July 2021

Nowadays, the state takes a close interest in the activities of self-employed citizens to receive additional revenues to the budget from tax revenues. The objective of this article is to assess the legitimacy of categorizing the self-employed as entrepreneurs, both in theory and law. An analysis of the legal nature of self-employment is undertaken. It is shown that the lack of clear qualification of this type of economic activity generates legal conflicts and problems of law enforcement. It is noted that the international practice has not developed a unified approach to the definition of "self-employment". The criteria, legal mechanisms of legitimation, and taxation system of the mentioned category of economic entities differ essentially. The article points out the position that the Russian legislation does not always justify referring the activity of self-employed citizens to a type of entrepreneurship. In several cases, the activity of self-employed people lacks the meaningful attributes of entrepreneurial activity established by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

El impacto distributivo del COVID-19 en el corto plazo se estima mediante microsimulaciones. Si bien el incremento potencial de la pobreza es significativo, cuando se compara con el ingreso pre-shock los grupos que más pierden son los pobres y los vulnerables a la pobreza. El impacto sobre la pobreza es más severo para hogares urbanos. La pobreza sube relativamente menos para los hogares rurales y la población indígena. México sobresale porque -comparado con Argentina, Brasil y Colombia- el gobierno no puso en marcha programas de transferencias adicionales para mitigar el impacto de la pandemia sobre los niveles de vida.

Listening skill in English is one of the most important skills in communication and educational process. However, listening skill is a skill that is not easily mastered by all non-native speaker students. The students need to know and understand the difficulties in listening process. Therefore, the current study aims to investigate the difficulties faced by the students dealing with listening comprehension. This research is a descriptive qualitative research with case study approach that examines six students in third semester of the English education study program in Universitas Muhammadiyah Kotabumi with three different proficiency levels: low, moderate, and high level. The results of this study showed that students with low level faced difficulties with unfamiliar words (message content), speed of speech (speaker), and lack of vocabulary (listener). Then in moderate level students felt difficult in the speed of speech (speaker) and noises (physical settings). Meanwhile, students with high level faced difficulty with the long spoken text (message content), variety of accents (speaker) and noises (physical settings). It can be concluded that the listening comprehension difficulties encountered by the students at tertiary level are different depending on their proficiency in English. Therefore, the implication of the current study is that the lecturer need to consider the information revealed in this study in order to be able to overcome the difficulties faced by the students.

La evolución de la tarjeta postal y las guerras contemporáneas: dos caminos encontrados (1869-1945)
Authors: López José Manuel
Published: July 2021

La tarjeta postal ha formado parte de nuestra vida cotidiana hasta hace relativamente poco tiempo. Esa fuerte presencia, sumada a su carácter visual y textual, la han posicionado en un lugar destacado como testigo de un sinfín de aspectos acontecidos en el último siglo y medio de nuestra historia. Dentro de sus múltiples ámbitos de actuación, la relación que ha demostrado tener con el mundo de la guerra resulta mucho más estrecha de la que tradicionamente se le ha atribuido. Su misma puesta en circulación o sus altos niveles de producción durante la Gran Guerra, coincidiendo con su edad de oro, muestran un fuerte vínculo con el mundo bélico al que no se le ha proporcionado la atención que precisa. Con el fin de determinar hasta qué punto la guerra pudo influir en la evolución de estas pequeñas cartulinas, se presenta un estudio centrado en la producción y distribución de estos soportes en distintos enfrentamientos armados desarrollados entre la segunda mitad del siglo XIX y mediados del XX, desde la guerra francoprusiana hasta la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Mientras el coronavirus sigue paralizando la actividad mundial y asistimos a la expansión de una nueva ola, la vacunación masiva de la población se ha convertido en la única esperanza y en el principal instrumento para sortear los estragos de la pandemia, que no entiende de clases sociales, grupos de edad o género. Tras las elecciones norteamericanas que han dado el triunfo al demócrata Joe Biden, ha bajado el nivel de la tensión mundial que las declaraciones y políticas de su antecesor en la Casa Blanca, el republicano Donald Trump, venía provocando en todo el mundo. La inestabilidad política y económica internacional sigue mostrándose, sin embargo, en numerosos conflictos regionales en los que siguen inmersas las grandes potencias.

Alhambras de identidad: memoria de España en la arquitectura de Puerto Rico en el siglo XX
Authors: Álvarez Curbelo Silvia
Published: July 2021

El ensayo interpreta la popularidad de estilos arquitectónicos ligados a lo español en Puerto Rico, la última colonia que tuvo España en el Nuevo Mundo, en las décadas de los años veinte y treinta. A pesar de los relevos culturales que experimentó la isla al convertirse en colonia de Estados Unidos como resultado de la Guerra Hispanoamericana, las ataduras simbólicas con España se ponen de relieve desde dos pulsiones: la moda y la búsqueda identitaria. Lo «español» en la arquitectura, la literatura, el cine toma la forma de revivals desde finales del siglo XIX en Estados Unidos, teniendo como sedes principales a Florida y a California. Por otro lado, el dominio de Estados Unidos sobre Puerto Rico complejiza el tema de la identidad colectiva en un país con una cultura de raigambre y espesores ligados aún a España. La arquitectura es una arena privilegiada para analizar prácticas de significación en las que la modernidad y la tradición exponen sus fortalezas respectivas.Edificaciones públicas y privadas en Puerto Rico adoptan motivos moriscos o del Renacimiento español. ¿Moda, propuesta identitaria o un acomodo negociado entre dos poderosas energías culturales?
A new species of Litarachna Walter, 1925 (Acari: Hydrachnidia: Pontarachnidae) from Corozal Bay (Belize), described based upon morphology and DNA barcodes

A new planktonic species of the marine water mites of the family Pontarachnidae Koenike, 1910 is described from Corozal Bay, an estuarine system in Belize. The morphological description includes Scanning Electronic Microscope (SEM) images and is augmented by an analysis of DNA cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) sequences, the DNA barcode, used for the first time for a species description in this group.

OBJECTIVES

To compare the use of curvilinear-array (microconvex) and phased-array transducers for ultrasonographic examination of the lungs in dogs.

ANIMALS

13 client-owned dogs with left-sided congestive heart failure.

PROCEDURES

In a prospective methods comparison study, 24 ultrasonographic examinations of the lungs (4 sites/hemithorax) were performed with both curvilinear-array and phased-array transducers at 3 clinical time points. Two observers independently assessed the number of B lines (scored per site and in total), number of sites strongly positive for B lines (ie, those with > 3 B lines/site), and image quality (scored on a 5-point scale). Analyses included assessment of interobserver agreement with κ analysis, comparison of quality scores between transducers with mixed-effects modeling, and investigation of agreement and bias for B-line data and quality scores between transducers with Passing-Bablok regression.

RESULTS

Interobserver agreement for total B-line scores and number of strong-positive sites was excellent (κ > 0.80) for both transducers. There was no evidence of analytic bias for the number of B lines or strong-positive sites between transducers. Interobserver agreement for image quality scores was moderate (κ, 0.498 and 0.517 for the curvilinear-array and phased-array transducers, respectively). Both observers consistently assigned higher-quality scores to curvilinear-array images than to phased-array images.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results indicated both curvilinear-array (microconvex) and phased-array transducers can be used by experienced sonographers to obtain diagnostic ultrasonographic images of the lungs in dogs with acute or resolving left-sided congestive heart failure and suggested the former transducer may be preferred, particularly to aid identification of anatomic landmarks for orientation.

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate associations between weather conditions and management factors with the incidence of death attributable to bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC) in high-risk auction-sourced beef calves.

ANIMALS

Cohorts (n = 3,339) of male beef calves (545,866) purchased by 1 large cattle feeding operation from 216 locations and transported to 1 of 89 feeding locations (backgrounding location or feedlot) with similar management protocols.

PROCEDURES

Associations between weather conditions and management factors on the day of purchase (day P) and during the first week at the feeding location and cumulative BRDC mortality incidence within the first 60 days on feed were estimated in a mixed-effects negative binomial regression model.

RESULTS

Significant factors in the final model were weaning status; degree of com-mingling; body weight; transport distance; season; precipitation, mean wind speed, and maximum environmental temperature on day P; environmental temperature range in the first week after arrival at the feeding location; and interactions between distance and wind speed and between body weight and maximum environmental temperature. Precipitation and wind speed on day P were associated with lower cumulative BRDC mortality incidence, but wind speed was associated only among calves transported long distances (≥ 1,082.4 km). Higher mean maximum temperature on day P increased the incidence of cumulative mortality among calves with low body weights (< 275.5 kg).

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Several weather conditions on day P and during the first week after arrival were associated with incidence of BRDC mortality. The results may have implications for health- and economic-risk management, especially for high-risk calves and calves that are transported long distances.
Quantification of serum fibroblast growth factor-19 concentration in healthy dogs before and after feeding
Authors: Myers Jillian , Granger L. Abbigail , Keeton Sarah T. , Liu Chin-Chi , Johnston Andrea N.
Published: July 2021

OBJECTIVE

To measure serum fibroblast growth factor-19 (FGF-19) concentration and gallbladder volume in healthy dogs before and after feeding to determine whether serum FGF-19 concentration increases following gallbladder contraction and to assess FGF-19 stability in blood samples kept under different storage conditions after collection in tubes containing no anticoagulant or in serum separator tubes.

ANIMALS

10 healthy dogs of various ages and breeds (30 blood samples and 30 gall-bladder volume measurements).

PROCEDURES

Serum FGF-19 concentration was measured with a commercially available ELISA. Gallbladder volume was determined ultrasonographically. Blood samples and gallbladder measurements were obtained from the dogs after food had been withheld for 12 hours (baseline) and at 1 and 3 hours after feeding. The stability of serum FGF-19 was assessed in samples collected in tubes containing no anticoagulant or in serum separator tubes and stored at –80°C for variable intervals or 4°C for 1 or 5 days.

RESULTS

Serum FGF-19 concentration was significantly increased from baseline at 1 and 3 hours after feeding. There was a significant decrease in gallbladder volume 1 hour after feeding, compared with baseline findings. Regardless of collection tube used, concentrations of FGF-19 in serum obtained from blood samples that were collected and immediately stored at –80°C differed significantly from concentrations in serum obtained from blood samples that had been collected and stored at 4°C for 5 days.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results indicated that postprandial gallbladder contraction results in increases of serum FGF-19 concentration in healthy dogs. Assessment of circulating FGF-19 concentration could be used to detect disruptions in the enterohepatic-biliary axis in dogs.
Forming Pupils’ Positive Relationship to the Soviet Union in the Period of Socialism in Czechoslovakia Through the Lens of Chronicles
Authors: Gubricová Janette
Published: July 2021

The cooperation of Czechoslovakia (and other socialist countries) with the Soviet Union was an important phenomenon during the period of socialism. It represented one form of building and consolidating socialism within socialist countries. Relationships with the Soviet Union affected political, ideological, economic and cultural domains, including education. This study follows points of departure and forms of building children’s positive relationship with the Soviet Union in the period of socialism. The content analysis of the Pioneer Organisation chronicles shows that the most frequently identified forms of activities were regularly organised (celebrations of memorial days and public holidays, politically motivated commitments, correspondence, games, expeditions, competitions, etc.). Some identified activities could be considered occasional, as they reflected current events in the Soviet Union (showing Soviet films, deaths of prominent politicians, anniversaries of birth/death of politicians, etc.). The proclaimed “diversity and attractiveness of content and forms” can characterise the process, and it affected many domains of children’s lives. However, the (in)direct power interest of the Soviet Union was hidden in the proclamation of “children’s well-being”, while the programme of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia was implemented to reinforce the communistic ideology and actual political interests.
