Dynamic Sustainability Assessment Tool: Case Study of Green Biorefineries in Danish Agriculture
Authors: Timma Lelde , Dace Elina , Kristensen Troels , Trydeman Knudsen Marie
Published: September 2020

In this work, a novel, dynamic sustainability assessment tool is presented and validated in a case study. This tool combines two methods—system dynamics (SD) and temporal soil carbon modelling. The case study for sustainability analysis of Danish agriculture and green biorefineries supply chains in Denmark is used. The development of the Danish agriculture sector is simulated and assessed in relation to the ecosystem’s carrying capacity until 2050, defined as 1.4 livestock units per hectare. The results show that under the current development, the agriculture sector would exceed this carrying capacity shortly after 2030. The results obtained from the dynamic sustainability assessment tool show a more precise and less optimistic projection of future development than the assessment using constant soil carbon modelling values only. The study, therefore, suggests that the use of the temporal aspects in the sustainability assessment should be included and further developed.
Impact of Sustainability Reporting on Brand Value: An Examination of 100 Leading Brands in Singapore
Authors: Loh Lawrence , Tan Sharmine
Published: September 2020

The recent sustainability reporting (SR) mandate by the Singapore Exchange has heightened stakeholder awareness and propelled sustainability disclosures. Albeit encouraging, more than half of listed companies in Singapore do not produce sustainability reports. This signifies a lack of sustainability commitment, or perhaps, local companies have limited understanding on the potential value of sustainability. Our study aims to fill this gap by examining if (1) the 100 leading brands in Singapore similarly benefit from a higher brand value when they produce sustainability reports; (2) if more disclosure leads to higher brand value; (3) if a lagged effect is present. The methodology of this study included the collation of sustainability information from the 100 leading brands in Singapore, scoring each company’s sustainability performance using the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) framework. Finally, we examine the correlations using regression analysis to compare the companies’ sustainability performance with the reputed brand rankings by Brand Finance. Our findings revealed that one-fifth of the 100 leading brands in Singapore do not engage in sustainability, despite the positive correlation between sustainability reporting and brand value. Our results also suggest that greater disclosure leads to higher brand value, yet social and environmental indicators are undermanaged. Moreover, there is a lagged effect as public perceptions take time to shape. Internalising a company’s sustainability vision through a multi-stakeholder consultative approach is critical. Brand managers and sustainability practitioners must be aware that failures to meet stakeholder expectations today may consequently impact investors’ decisions.
Cataloguing of the Defects Existing in Aluminium Window Frames and Their Recurrence According to Pluvio-Climatic Zones
Authors: Carretero-Ayuso Manuel J. , Rodríguez-Jiménez Carlos E. , Bienvenido-Huertas David , Moyano Juan
Published: September 2020

The sustainability of building envelopes is affected by its windows, since these establish the connection/separation between the indoor rooms and the external environment. They can also lead to problems if they do not offer sufficient protection against external agents. The data source in this research is unprecedented, as it is based on records of court sentences. There is a significant number of cases (1615), which provides high representativeness for the functional reality of windows. The methodology that was developed classifies the defects and the causes that were found, also analysing correspondence with their recurrence according to aspects of climatological location. In the results, the cases pertaining to water infiltration, air permeability and humidity by condensation are highlighted. This study provides a vision that categorizes problems related to aluminium windows that may be useful for future interventions by agents participating in the construction process.
Using Food Waste in Organic Fertilizer: Modelling Biogenic Carbon Sequestration with Associated Nutrient and Micropollutant Loads
Authors: Klinglmair Manfred , Thomsen Marianne
Published: September 2020

What are the effects, measured as flows of biogenic carbon, plant nutrients, and pollutants, of moving organic waste up the waste hierarchy? We present a case study of Denmark, where most of the organic fraction of household waste (OFHW) is incinerated, with ongoing efforts to increase bio-waste recycling. In this study, one-third of the OFHW produced in North Zealand, Denmark, is diverted away from incineration, according to the Danish Waste Resource Plan 2013–2018. Co-digestion of OFHW, and digestate application on agricultural soil, utilizes biogenic carbon, first for energy conversion, and the remainder for long-term soil sequestration, with additional benefits for plant nutrient composition by increasing the N:P ratio in the digestate. We show a dynamic model of the biogenic carbon flows in a mix of OFHW co-digested with livestock manure and sewage sludge, addressing the contribution of OFHW to long-term carbon sequestration compared to other agricultural residues and bio-wastes over a time span of 100 years. In addition, we trace the associated annual nutrient and cadmium loads to the topsoil. At constant annual input rates and management practices, a diversion of 33% of OFHW would result in an increased organic carbon build-up of approximately 4% over the current amounts applied. The addition of OFHW, moreover, beneficially adjusts the N:P ratio of the digestate mix upwards, albeit without reaching an ideally high ratio by that measure alone. Cd loads from OFHW remain well below regulatory limits.
To See a World in a Grain of Sand—The Transformative Potential of Small Community Actions
Authors: Watabe Atsushi , Gilby Simon
Published: September 2020

The recognition of the urgent need for more sustainable lifestyles dates from the late 20th century, originating in concerns about resource depletion and climate change. Research and policy measures have evolved since then, paying increasing attention to systemic change over individual behaviour. However, as individual behavioural change is constrained by the systems within which choices are made, more study is needed to understand better how systemic changes occur. Drawing on the experiences of the Sustainable Lifestyles and Education Programme of the UN-led One-Planet Network in collaborating with small collective actions for sustainable lifestyles, the paper analyses the needs and approaches for sustainable lifestyles and opportunities for the local actors to grow their capacities in developing ways of living sustainably. These experiences show that the pursuit of sustainable lifestyles is not a one-shot change in behaviour. It is a continuous process where actors identify and tackle locally specific opportunities for responsible and sustainable ways of living, and through a process of mutual learning and experimentation gradually shape shared visions of sustainable living. Systemic changes for sustainable living are ultimately neither about simply improving people’s awareness or attitudes or replacing some components of the external systems. They are the creation of capacities and aspirations of people actively and continuously engaging to shape alternative systems of living.
Corporate Responsibility for Human Rights in Assam Tea Plantations: A Business and Human Rights Approach
Authors: Rao Madhura , Bernaz Nadia
Published: September 2020

This paper explores how UK-based companies deal with their responsibility to respect the human rights of Assam (India) tea plantation workers. Through qualitative content analysis of publicly available corporate reports and other documents, it investigates how companies approach and communicate their potential human rights impacts. It highlights the gap between well-documented human rights issues on the ground and corporate reports on these issues. It aims to answer the following research question: in a context where the existence of human rights violations at the end of the supply chain is well-documented, how do companies reconcile their possible connection with those violations and the corporate responsibility to respect human rights under the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights? This paper reveals the weakness of the current corporate social responsibility (CSR) approach from the perspective of rights-holders. It supports a business and human rights approach, one that places the protection of human rights at its core.
Analysis of Transportation Network Vulnerability and Resilience within an Urban Agglomeration: Case Study of the Greater Bay Area, China
Authors: Chen Mingyu , Lu Huapu
Published: September 2020

Recently, urban agglomerations have become the main platform of China’s economic development. As one of those, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) has an important strategic position in national blueprints. Its amazing achievement is inseparable from reliable and resilient transportation networks. With the aim of improving the sustainability of the GBA, this paper presents a novel view of vulnerability and resilience of integrated transportation networks within an urban agglomeration. According to complex network theory, the integrated transportation network model of the GBA was established. Various scenarios were considered to improve the overall level of defensive ability, including random failures, targeted attacks and natural hazards. Vulnerability and resilience assessment models were developed to investigate the influences on the whole network. Finally, a simulation analysis was conducted on the GBA to examine the variations in network performance when faced with different attack scenarios. The results indicate that the transportation network of the GBA is more vulnerable and has less resilience to targeted attacks, while natural hazards had little influence on the performance, to a certain extent. Moreover, the betweenness recovery strategy seemed to be the best choice for every attack scenario.
Entangling Superconducting Qubits through an Analogue Wormhole
Authors: Sabín Carlos
Published: September 2020

We propose an experimental setup to test the effect of curved spacetime upon the extraction of entanglement from the quantum field vacuum to a pair of two-level systems. We consider two superconducting qubits coupled to a dc-SQUID array embedded into an open microwave transmission line, where an external bias can emulate a spacetime containing a traversable wormhole. We find that the amount of vacuum entanglement that can be extracted by the qubits depends on the wormhole parameters. At some distances qubits which would be in a separable state in flat spacetime would become entangled due to the analogue wormhole background.
Immunization with a Recombinant Protein of Trichinella britovi 14-3-3 Triggers an Immune Response but No Protection in Mice
Authors: Stachyra Anna , Grzelak Sylwia , Basałaj Katarzyna , Zawistowska-Deniziak Anna , Bień-Kalinowska Justyna
Published: September 2020

14-3-3 proteins are present in all eukaryotic organisms and are ubiquitously expressed in a broad range of tissues and cellular compartments. They are regulatory adapter proteins that play key roles in a variety of signaling pathways, and have been proposed as suitable targets for the control and detection of certain parasites. Trichinella britovi is a widely-distributed parasitic nematode, transmitted through ingestion of meat products containing invasive larvae. The present study describes the cloning and expression of Tb14-3-3, and investigates the immunological and protective potential of the recombinant protein. Immunization of mice with rTb14-3-3 triggered an IgG response, and significant differences, in the profiles of secreted cytokines observed in vitro, between experimental groups. Nonetheless, neither specific antibodies, nor increased secretion of IFNγ, IL-4, and IL-10 cytokines, conferred greater protection against infection. No reduction in larval burden was observed during recovery at 48 dpi. Additionally, rTb14-3-3 was not recognized by sera from the infected control mice, except for one, suggesting some mismatch between native and recombinant Tb14-3-3 antigenic sites. Therefore, before 14-3-3 can be considered a potential tool for Trichinella detection and vaccination, more research regarding its target proteins, and actual specific function, is needed.

Published: September 2020

Influenza is a viral vaccine-preventable disease. The present study aims to explore the attitude to influenza immunization and the knowledge of influenza among students in Poland. A cross-sectional survey was conducted at the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020 among students of Nursing, Midwifery, Pharmacy, and Public health in all years of study. Data was obtained from 1137 students (90.7% female, 9.3% male), mean age 21.3 ± 1.62 years. The urban students were more likely to be vaccinated against seasonal influenza than rural students (OR: 1.52; 95% CI [1.10–2.10], p = 0.010362). The students of Public health were more likely to be vaccinated against influenza (48.9%, regularly annually 1.1%) than Pharmacy (31%, regularly annually 2.5%), Nursing (30.7%, regularly annually 1.3%) or Midwifery (25.1%, regularly annually 2.4%). First-year and second-year students were vaccinated more often (OR: 2.75; 95% CI [1.99–3.82], p = 0.00000; OR: 1.84; 95% CI [1.32–2.59], p = 0.0004, respectively) than later-year students. All students reported the main reasons for vaccination to be their own protection and parental decision. Concluded, present findings demonstrate a low prevalence of flu vaccination among medical students. Therefore, strategies are needed to increase the uptake of influenza vaccine in students, especially considering the future contact between this group of future health care workers and higher risk groups.

In this article, an artificial neural network is proposed to classify short audio sequences of squeak and rattle (S&R) noises. The aim of the classification is to see how accurately the trained classifier can recognize different types of S&R sounds. Having a high accuracy model
that can recognize audible S&R noises could help to build an automatic tool able to identify unpleasant vehicle interior sounds in a matter of seconds from a short audio recording of the sounds. In this article, the training method of the classifier is proposed, and the results show that
the trained model can identify various classes of S&R noises: simple (binary clas- sification) and complex ones (multi class classification).

A AUTOCRÍTICA DE LUKÁCS A SUAS OBRAS JUVENIS
Authors: Fortes Ronaldo Vielmi
Published: September 2020

Tema ainda não tratado de maneira devida é a autocrítica realizada pelo filósofo húngaro GyörgyLukács ao seu livro História e Consciência de Classe. Ao criticar sua obra mais influente, Lukács localiza em seus erros do passado os mesmos traços erráticos que vigoram no pensamento filosófico de seu tempo, tornando a crítica de seu pensamento juvenil o esteio para a refutação dos desvios do próprio marxismo e das chamadas teorias críticas contemporâneas. O artigo procura trazer à tona elementos importantes das considerações tardias de Lukács acerca do problema da relação entre o papel subjetivo nos processos revolucionários.

Published: September 2020

Este artigo objetiva comparar, no nível do ensino superior, a educação a distância ministrada pelos conglomerados educacionais com a EaD veiculada, sobretudo, pelas universidades públicas, PUCs, e instituições ligadas à Rede Federal de Educação Profissional Científica e Tecnológica (RFEPCT). Após analisar, vis a vis, a aplicação da EaD nos referidos loci, conclui-se que a EaD privilegiada pelas instituições mercantis, globalizadas e oligopolizadas, visa a aumentar seus níveis de lucratividade e, consequentemente, seu ensino carece da qualidade necessária para formar alunos de forma competente e compromissada. Diferentemente, o ensino superior ofertado, notadamente, pelas referidas instituições públicas e pelas PUCs vem possibilitando a oferta de uma educação com alto nível de qualidade teórica, prática, social e ética capaz de formar alunos comprometidos tanto com a sociedade, formando cidadãos que se inserem, para se tornarem protagonistas de suas histórias, quanto no mundo do trabalho, de forma responsável e competente.
DESAFIOS DA EDUCAÇÃO NA ERA DA TECNOLOGIA
Authors: Hino Márcia Cassitas
Published: September 2020

A tecnologia tem mudado a forma como as pessoas vivem, locomovem-se, comem, estudam e se comunicam. Porém, o uso da tecnologia no processo da educação ainda é controverso. Este artigo promove uma reflexão sobre os aspectos do uso de tecnologia no processo de ensino e aprendizagem sob a perspectiva da educação, do aluno, do professor e das próprias instituições de ensino. Identificou-se o protagonismo do celular como ferramenta pedagógica, em decorrência de seu baixo custo, facilidade de uso e acessibilidade, mas também por colocar o aluno em uma posição mais ativa e responsável pela sua educação. Alunos, professores e instituição de ensino precisam se recriar nesse contexto, uma vez que a tecnologia abre oportunidades de aprendizagem individualizada, colaborativa e informal. O perfil multitarefa dos alunos facilita o uso de tecnologias em sala de aula, uma vez que seja percebida sua relevância e utilidade no uso. Professores não foram preparados para utilizar tecnologia em sala de aula e precisam desenvolver novas habilidades. As instituições de ensino devem encorajar e suportar o desenvolvimento de habilidades tecnológicas pelos professores para que estes possam liderar o processo de transformação.

Published: September 2020

O mundo mudou. As relações humanas e as relações com a informação e o conhecimento mudaram. A ampliação do acesso à internet e às tecnologias digitais estabeleceram novos patamares de relacionamento entre pessoas, processos e objetos. Essas mudanças afetam também as instituições de ensino, que precisam se reinventar para não ficarem à margem dessa evolução. Um dos desafios contemporâneos é saber escolher a informação e transformá-la em conhecimento significativo, algo completamente diferente de pelo menos duas décadas atrás, quando o desafio era obter a informação. Hoje a informação é abundante. O acesso ao excesso (COSTA, 2008) de informação é possível em qualquer localidade e horário. Gera novas necessidades de orientação docente e de participação dos estudantes. Discutimos esse contexto de mutação do saber a partir de Levy (1999) e Santos (2005), que nos ajudam a compreender esse processo e a posição que a universidade assume nesse novo cenário. Garcia et al. (2011), Santaella (2013) e Kenski (2015) trazem para a discussão as novas relações, formas e estratégias de ensino e aprendizagem mediadas de acordo com os novos anseios formativos dos sujeitos e da sociedade contemporânea. Assim, o objetivo deste texto é apresentar reflexões sobre as tecnologias digitais e as necessidades de mudança no processo educacional desenvolvido pelas instituições de ensino superior brasileiras.

Развитие механизмов научной дипломатии является одним из ключевых элементов научно-технической политики каждого современного государства. Классическая научная дипломатия является инструментом «мягкой силы» внешней политики страны и включает в себя три направления: наука в дипломатии, наука для дипломатии, дипломатия для науки. Решение глобальных проблем, с которыми сталкиваются мировая экономика и общество могут быть решены исключительно на международном уровне. Проблема ядерной безопасности, загрязнение атмосферы и мирового океана, вырубка лесов, нехватка водных ресурсов, изменение климата, эпидемии, высокий уровень смертности, освоение арктических территорий – проблемы, решение которых требует глобальных, совместных усилий для сохранения научно-технического сотрудничества независимо от национальных программ или политической обстановки страны. Россия заинтересована в налаживании научного диалога с зарубежными странами путем создания сети международных научно-исследовательских центров и институтов, а также с помощью двусторонних научных обменов. Благодаря проведению политики научной дипломатии, происходит демонстрация передовых инноваций и высоких достижений в области науки, повышение привлекательности государства для проведения научно-исследовательской деятельности для зарубежных специалистов, решение проблемы «утечки мозгов». На данный момент, научная дипломатия России нуждается в совершенствовании, усилении роли страны на международной арене. Наращивание благоприятных взаимовыгодных партнерских отношений с ведущими мировыми державами позволит расширить участие России в решении глобальных проблем и войти в рейтинг лидирующих государств в научно-исследовательской деятельности.

An Experimental Study PVDF and PSF Hollow Fiber Membranes for Chemical Absorption Carbon Dioxide
Authors: Ehsan Kianfar
Published: September 2020

Poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and poly-sulfone (PSF) polymer solutions were made at a concentration of 18% by weight of the polymer as a non-soluble additive of polymer solution in 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) solvent. PVDF and PSF hollow fiber membranes were fabricated via the wet phase-inversion process. Fabricated membranes were characterized in terms of gas permeability, wetting resistance, water contact angle and overall porosity. In order to study the structure of the membranes made, the scanning electron microscopy images of the model (TM3000, HITACHI, Japan) were used. The morphology study indicates that the PSF membrane shows an open cross-section structure with smaller pore sizes. However, the PVDF membrane illustrates a thick sponge-like structure. The fabricated PVDF membrane shows higher wetting resistance, surface porosity, water contact angle, and N2 permeability. The performance of the produced membranes was examined for the Absorption of carbon dioxide in a gas-liquid contactor membrane through the solution of mono-ethanolamine (MEA). The results show that CO2 absorption flux of the PVDF hollow fiber membrane is higher than PSF hollow fiber membrane. The maximum CO2 absorption flux of 8.10 × 10-3 (mole/m2 s) at the liquid phase flow rate of 300 ml/min for PVDF hollow fiber membrane was achieved and also the maximum CO2 absorption flux of 6.50 × 10-3 (mole/m2 s) at the liquid phase flow rate of 300 ml/min for PSF hollow fiber membrane was obtained. It can be concluded that a porous hydrophobic hollow fiber membrane with high surface porosity and high gas permeability can be a productive alternative for CO2 absorption through gas-liquid membrane contactors.

BIM is a methodology applied to the realization of design models applied to new buildings. To date,however, most of the building interventions as it happens in the field of cultural heritage are developed in theexisting. For this reason, scan to BIM procedures are improved and improved every day to make the use ofBIM easier. This document will describe the combination of different geomatics techniques used by theGeomatics Laboratory of the University of the Mediterranean in Reggio Calabria to create a BuildingInformation Model of a highway viaduct (infraBIM). In particular, we paid more attention to the scan to BIMphase through the segmentation of the point cloud using machine learning techniques that allow to obtain theconstitutive parametric elements of the 3D model. The model containing the geometric and physical data madeavailable by the ANAS management body in order to use the potential of infraBIM. This methodology today isof particular importance for the control, monitoring, intervention, and maintenance of road infrastructures,optimizing the procedures existing up to now. The advantages would be even more evident considering that weare living in a particular historical moment, in which a large number of bridges and viaducts in our nation aresubject to advanced forms of degradation

Multiple endocrine neoplasia is characterized with a predisposition to tumors involving two or more endocrine glands. The four main forms of the disease are inherited as an autosomal dominant syndrome or may occur sporadically. In addition to these four forms, six other syndromes are associated with the presence of multiple endocrine and other neoplasms of the organs: hyperparathyroidism − jaw tumors, Carney complex, von Hippel−Lindau disease, neurofibromatosis type 1, Cowden syndrome and McCune − Albright syndrome. The diagnosis of multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome can be established in humans by one of the three available criteria: clinical features, family history, genetic analysis. Mutation analysis during these syndromes is useful in clinical practice to confirm the clinical diagnosis; identifying family members who tolerate the mutation and need to be screened, and identifying family members who do not tolerate the mutation. Syndrome of multiple endocrine neoplasia (Wermer syndrome) is characterized by the presence of a triad of tumors, including tumors of the parathyroid glands, pheochromocytoma and tumors of the parathyroid gland. It occurs less frequently in combination with Hirschsprung's disease, caused by the absence of vegetative ganglion cells in the intestine terminal parts, that leads to colonic enlargement, severe constipation and obstruction. This syndrome may be associated with cutaneous lichen amyloidosis, the clinical manifestations of which are pruritus and lichenoid lesions, usually located in the upper back. A clinical case of MEN2 syndrome in a 52−year−old patient is presented. It is noted that for such patients, in addition to timely syndromic rather than component diagnosis of this endocrine multipathology, the spread of neoplastic process in medullary thyroid cancer to its capsule and surrounding tissues, as well as the presence of metastases in peripheral lymph nodes are important. As a rule, such patients cannot be timely cured. Key words: multiple endocrine neoplasia, endocrine tumors, genetic analysis, family history.

According to epidemiological studies, it has been determined that from 0,5 to 1,0 % of children have epilepsy. As well it is considered as one of the most common chronic neurological diseases of childhood. Epilepsy is a multi−etiological disease, the clinical course of which is characterized by spontaneous uncontrolled functional disorders arising from hypersynchronous electrical discharges in the cerebral cortex. This study was aimed to investigate the features of clinical manifestations and anamnestic data in children of different ages, suffering from different epilepsy forms. We examined 1,017 patients aged from 3 months to 17 years. All patients were assessed for somatic and neurological status, electroencephalography, magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, if necessary the laboratory tests and consulting other specialists were performed. The analysis of findings shows that the most common is symptomatic epilepsy compared to idiopathic and cryptogenic. The prevalence of idiopathic epilepsy increases in early school age and enhances as much as possible in adolescence. In patients with cryptogenic epilepsy, forms with focal onset, generalized and unclassified seizures were identified. Cryptogenic epilepsy was mostly diagnosed in children under 10 years, likely indicating a disruption of physiological connections and morphofunctional immaturity. The symptomatic epilepsy according to the localization of focal disorders was divided into: temporal, frontal, parietal, occipital and multifocal. The major symptoms of epilepsy are observed in primary school and adolescence. In preschool age, the most common is frontal localization of the focus, parietal ; in primary school − temporal, occipital and parietal, in early − multifocal. Etiological factors of symptomatic epilepsy include the CNS congenital malformations, CNS perinatal lesions, traumatic brain injury, neuroinfections etc. Thus, due to the findings we determined the etiological and trigger factors that led to the development of pathological conditions, including epilepsy.

Key words: children, epilepsy, clinic, medical history, etiologic and trigger factors.

The dewetting process is crucial for several applications in nanotechnology. Even though not all dewetting phenomena are fully understood yet, especially regarding metallic fluids, it is clear that the formation of nanometre-sized particles, droplets, and clusters as well as their movement are strongly linked to their wetting behaviour. For this reason, the thermodynamic stability of thin metal layers (0.1–100 nm) with respect to their free energy is examined here. The decisive factor for the theoretical considerations is the interfacial energy. In order to achieve a better understanding of the interfacial interactions, three different models for estimating the interfacial energy are presented here: (i) fully theoretical, (ii) empirical, and (iii) semi-empirical models. The formation of nanometre-sized gold particles on silicon and silicon oxide substrates is investigated in detail. In addition, the strengths and weaknesses of the three models are elucidated, the different substrates used are compared, and the possibility to further process the obtained particles as nanocatalysts is verified. The importance of a persistent thin communication wetting layer between the particles and its effects on particle size and number is also clarified here. In particular, the intrinsic reduction of the Laplace pressure of the system due to material re-evaporation and Ostwald ripening describes the theoretically predicted and experimentally obtained results. Thus, dewetting phenomena of thin metal layers can be used to manufacture nanostructured devices. From this point of view, the application of gold droplets as catalysts to grow germanium nanowires on different substrates is described.
