Wczesna poezja Wata i Miłosza – w kręgu myśli i symboliki gnostyckiej
Authors: Sienkiewicz Barbara
Published: May 2018

The interwar verse of Aleksander Wat and Czesław Miłosz provides us with ample proof that both poets came to share a pessimism about the future course of European civilization. That belief led them both to develop a sympathy with the political left and, at the same time, an interest in religion. The shift to the left, however, was arrested as soon it became clear to them that this worldview offered no solution to the problem of evil in the world. Nor were they satisfied with the traditional answer to the question unde malum? that could be found in European culture rooted in its Catholic heritage. Having reached that point both poets turned to Gnosticism, a system of thought to which the problem of metaphysical evil is absolutely central. It is that philosophy and its rich symbolism that supplied them with a number of motifs to express their vision of the decline and fall of civilization. The article traces and analyzes the Gnostic ideas, motifs, images and symbols that express and give shape to the pessimistic vision of both Wat and Miłosz. It also argues that their ‘iconoclastic’ attitude which manifests itself among others in polemical reinterpretations of Old Testament texts is a consequence of their fascination with the Gnostic worldview.
Polskie pisarstwo kobiet w wieku XX – projekt syntezy
Authors: Kraskowska Ewa
Published: May 2018

This article deals with the methodological problems involved in constructing a history of women’s writing. It also presents an outline history of women’s writing in Poland and a review of the state of research in that field. Although women’s writing is an integral part of Polish literature, the author argues that its development is influenced by specific factors which determine the cultural and social condition of women in a given historical time. Consequently, the periodization of women’s writing should take into account criteria and divisions which do not always coincide with the customary reference points of the mainstream literary history. The author also compiles a list of some specific problems of the historiography of Polish women’s writing which require more focused attention on the part of researchers, ie. the phenomenon of the second-rank female writer, subgenres of women’s writing, and the work of female writers from the interwar period, who continued to write in the post-war Poland.
O Antygonie i „Antygonie” trochę inaczej
Authors: Bibik Barbara
Published: May 2018

Probably no other classical tragedy has as firm a place in the Polish consciousness as Antigone. The educated public is familiar with some quotes and interpretations which have been put in circulation by the Polish translations of Sophocles’ drama. What do we really know, though, about the play and its main characters? Do we understand their words, attitudes, and behaviour well (as our understanding depends on the varying accuracy of the translations)? This article revisits and reexamines these entrenched interpretations; it looks again at words and metaphors in the original text with a view of finding a fresh perspective on that extraordinarily important and inspiring drama.
Obszary Ameryki w „Świetle dziennym” Czesława Miłosza
Authors: Jarzębski Jerzy
Published: May 2018

Daylight has a special place in Miłosz’s poetic work: it is the first volume of poetry after his defection to the West, but it contains texts written during his first visit to the United States in the late 1940s. At that time he held a post at the Polish Embassy and looked at America from the other shore of ideology and personal experience. The article examines the author’s selection of poems for the successive editions of Daylight. The first, full edition of that volume is critical of both European nihilism and American primitivism (the latter refers to lack of concern about the horrors of war). In the following editions the poet’s perspective begins to change. The ‘American’ poems now foreground his experience of the continent’s natural landscape. Its primeval magnificence offers shelter and, through a sense of ecstatic communion with the sources of being, new strength. Likewise, the denunciation of European cynicism, which dominates the verse selected for the first edition, is later allowed to fade away. Eventually the experiences on both sides of the Atlantic are brought into balance. In the subsequent, slimmer editions of Daylight it is the ‘Song about china’ that represents the key tone of the volume. Although it may look slight, it manages to contrast the brutality of history and the vulnerability of an individual life with remarkable precision and poetic lightness. One clear stanza can take more weight / Than a whole wagon of elaborate prose.
Traktatowo i polemicznie -Witold Wirpsza wobec Czesława Miłosza
Authors: Pawelec Dariusz
Published: May 2018

This article deals with the early reception of Czesław Miłosz’s A Moral Treatise (1948). Although it soon became a landmark with the literary cognoscenti, it was not particularly well understood. The fact that A Moral Treatise was much quoted but hardly ever subjected to a thorough interpretation indicates that its message was assumed to be practically too obvious for debate. Against this background of complacency, one of the few attempts at coming to grips with Miłosz’s work was Witold Wirpsza’s Polemical Treatise, published in the magazine Twórczość in May 1949. It was reprinted in his Polemics and Songs in 1951, and then in another volume of selected poems in 1956. These three editions of Wirpsza’s Treatise kept Miłosz’s absent text in the public eye and played the role of surrogate review. Later, when the political climate changed, Wirpsza’s text came up for severe criticism. However, as the article argues, unlike the numerous commentaries, glosses and appropriations of A Moral Treatise, Wirpsza’s polemical response to it, though firmly rooted in the social realist landscape of the day, is uniquely aware of the poetic merit of Miłosz’s work. Wirpsza’s versified, condensed interpretation of A Moral Treatise does convey its enigmatic nature and in this way helps us to understand why so many of the subsequent readings of that text proved more or less unsatisfactory.
The geovisualisation window of the temporal and spatial variability for Volunteered Geographic Information activities
Authors: Medynska-Gulij Beata , Myszczuk Miłosz
Published: May 2018

This study presents an attempt to design geographical visualisation tools that allow to tackle the immensity of spatial data provided by Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI), both in terms of temporal and spatial aspects. In accordance with the assumptions made at the conceptual stage, the final action was the implementation of the window entitled ‘Geovisualisation of the Panoramio.com Activities in District of Poznan 2011’ into the web browser. The concept has been based on a division of the geovisualisation window into three panels, of which the most important - in order to capture spatial variability - have statistical maps at the general level (dot map and choropleth map), while at the detailed level - a dot map on a topographic reference map or tourist map. For two ranges, temporal variability is presented by graphs, while a review of attributes of individual activities of the social website in question is set forward in the table panel. The element that visually interlinks all of the panels is the emphasised individual activity.
Household Environmental Tobacco Smoke Exposure and Respiratory Health in School Age Children
Authors: Nikolić Maja , Stanković Aleksandra , Mladenović Ćirić Ivana
Published: May 2018

In the recent years the exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) has been an important public health hazard, especially in Serbia, a country with too many smokers. A common component of tobacco smoke is particulate matter less than 10μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM10), which is considered to be the most dangerous air pollutant for health.

The aim of this paper was to investigate the association between respiratory symptoms and illnesses in schoolchildren in relation to their environmental tobacco smoke exposure.

We conducted an epidemiological study that included 708 participants (49.15 % male) aged 11-14 years from Niš, Serbia. The children were surveyed by original structured questionnaire, based on the instrument developed for similar investigations. Data about the prevalence of respiratory symptoms in the last 12-month period of life and lifetime prevalence of respiratory illnesses were obtained. The questionnaire also included items about other indoor environmental determinants. Tobacco smoke was the most prevalent source of indoor air pollution at children’s home (60.73%). We found a significant association between ETS exposure and increased prevalence of dyspnea, wheezing, bronchitis and asthma among children.

It is necessary to inform parents in Serbia on the health effects of ETS exposure during childhood and to encourage them to change smoking habits in order to protect their children from ETS exposure at home.
The Occurence of Ecological Traps in Bird Populations: Is our Knowledge Sufficient? A Review
Authors: Suvorov Petr , Svobodová Jana
Published: May 2018

Anthropogenic changes in a landscape create new cues for birds, which must permanently adapt to these. If landscape changes occur too quickly, individuals have insufficient time to develop adequate reactions. They may, therefore, preferentially nest in low-quality habitats, which can lead to diminished nesting success and to reduction of their population size. This is usually termed the ecological trap hypothesis. We reviewed 38 studies investigating this phenomenon and analysed whether relationships exist between ecological trap occurrence and geographical region, habitat type, and/or life strategies of bird species. Ecological traps were most often associated with the presence of exotic species. Exotic species can modify environmental conditions in ways to which native communities are not adapted. They have been mainly detected in open habitats. Such open habitats as arable fields and meadows are under greater human pressure, and rapid changes probably occur there more frequently. Although more studies from North America were investigated, the hypothesis was supported more frequently in European studies. This is possibly due to higher human population density and, hence, more frequent habitat changes. Our results show that an ecological trap is not likely associated with migration. Ground nests suffered fewer consequences of such traps than did other nest types. Although the implications of the ecological trap hypothesis in species conservation are undisputable, a more detailed approach is still needed. For instance, some habitat types, such as suburban areas, have been neglected in the context of ecological traps, as has been the phenomenon’s appearance in pristine habitats.
Secondary Iron Minerals Present in AMD Sediments from Smolník Abandoned Mine
Authors: Dakos Zuzana , Kupka Daniel , Kovařík Michal , Jablonovská Katarína , Krištúfek Václav , Achimovičová Marcela
Published: May 2018

The genesis of acid mine drainage (AMD) is conditioned by existence of indigenous chemolithotrophic iron and sulfur oxidizing bacteria, especially of genus Acidithiobacillus. The result of the oxidizing weathering of metal sulfides is a sequential formation of ochreous precipitates in drainage systems and in the surroundings of AMD seepage on the surface. The long-term monitoring of AMD waters collected at the shaft Pech that receives the majority of waters draining the flooded Smolník mine area point out the enduring contamination risk of particular components in the environment of Smolník mine area. Elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction, Mossbauer spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy of the ochreous precipitates formed from Smolník AMD stream revealed schwertmannite as the dominant solid phase in the precipitates. The chemical analysis of AMD effluents and the elemental composition of related sediments indicated considerable scavenging potential of the ochreous precipitates towards metal cations and oxyanions of arsenic and sulfate

Authors: Velgosová Oksana , Kaduková Jana , Marcinčáková Renáta
Published: May 2018

In the present work the Ni and Cd extraction from the electrode material of spent Ni-Cd batteries by bioleaching using the bacteria Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans was examined. The possibility of the use of the bacteria for both the Ni and Cd recovery was analyzed. The anode of Ni-Cd batteries contains Ni0, Ni(OH)2, Cd0 and Cd(OH)2. The cathode is covered by nickel hydroxides and nickel oxy-hydroxides. The pH values and content of Ni and Cd in the solution were monitored throughout the experiment (the initial pH was 1.5, the experiment took 28 days). The bioleaching efficiency of Ni and Cd from anode powder reached 5.5% and 98%, respectively. During the cathode powder bioleaching Ni and Cd efficiency reached 45% and 100%, respectively. Throughout the bioleaching process mainly the dissolution of hydroxides occurred meanwhile Ni0 leaching was not observed. The AAS analysis was used to analyze the amount of Ni and Cd in the solutions. The amount of Ni and Cd present in the solid samples before and after bioleaching was examined using X-ray analysis.
Biosorption of Copper, Zinc and Nickel From Multi-Ion Solutions
Authors: Kaduková Jana , Horváthová Hedviga
Published: May 2018

The biosorption of Cu(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II) by microscopic green algae Chlorella kessleri was investigated using batch experiments. Biosorption studies with single and multi ion solutions were carried out to study the effect of several ions on the biosorption of selected metal. The influence of zinc and nickel on copper biosorption, copper and nickel on zinc biosorption and zinc and copper on nickel biosorption were investigated. The Langmuir and Freundlich model were used to describe the adsorption equilibrium of studied metals on Chlorella kessleri biomass. Based on the experimental results it was found that the presence of copper increased the biosorption capacity of zinc from 48.6 mg/g to 96.8 mg/g and nickel from 29.3 mg/g to 62.7 mg/g, respectively. However, the presence of nickel decreased the biosorption capacity of zinc from 48.6 mg/g to 31.7 mg/g.

Authors: Luptáková Alena , Ubaldini Stefano , Mačingová Eva , Kotuličová Ingrida
Published: May 2018

The submitted paper deals with the study of combination of chemical and biological-chemical methods for the heavy metals elimination from the acid mine drainage. The experiments were carried out at the laboratory scale using a synthetic solution with similar properties to the real sample of acid mine drainage, originating from the zinc mine located in Tùnel Kingsmill outflow of the Rio Yaulì (district of Yauli - Perù). The successive repetition of the metal precipitations as hydroxides (chemical method) and sulphides (biological-chemical method) at the various acid mine drainage pH was the basis of the examined processes. For the hydrogen sulphide production the sulphate-reducing bacteria of genus Desulfovibrio were used. Results confirmed the precipitation of Fe, As, Al and Mn in the hydroxide form; Cu and Zn in the form of sulphides. For the selective removal of Cu, Zn, Al and Mn the excellent results were received. Selective precipitation of Fe and As was not so successful since the co-precipitation of Fe and As was later determined as a main mechanism of the precipitate forming.
Simultaneous and Sequential Extraction Protocols as Tools for Determination of Zinc Bioavailability in Dried Anaerobic Sludge
Authors: Frišták Vladimír , Valovčiaková Michaela , Pipíška Martin , Augustín Jozef
Published: May 2018

Production of unsettleable sewage sludge with high water content is one of the problems of intensification of industrial activities and environmental protection. Sewage sludge with low toxic metals concentrations can be utilized as fertilizer and soil conditioner in agriculture. For determination of metal bioavailability, a wide range of extraction protocols and fractionation analyses can be used. We studied the distribution and quantified the leaching and bioavailability of zinc from dried anaerobic sludge by simultaneous, multi-step and three different sequential extraction protocols. For determination of zinc, the galvanostatic stripping chronopotentiometry (SCP) and electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) were used. The distribution of Zn in sequential extraction protocols was determined using a fivestep chemical fractionation procedures (BCR, Tessier and Van Hullebusch protocols). The potential bioavailability (0.9% NaCl, 0.1 mol/dm3 HCl, 0.1 mol/dm3 HNO3, 0.1 mol/dm3 CH3COOH, 0.1 mol/dm3 Na2EDTA, 0.1 mol/dm3 CaCl2, 0.1 mol/dm3 MgCl2, 0.1 mol/dm3 (NH4)2C2O4.H2O extraction) and pseudo total (aqua regia extraction and ETAAS analyses) content of Zn in sludge was determined. The amount of aqua regia extractable zinc in sludge samples was 650 ± 12 mg/kg (d.w.). We found out that the zinc was extractable from anaerobic sludge in first hour of contact time for all tested agents. Zinc was extracted with highest efficiency by 0.1 mol/dm3 (NH4)2C2O4.H2O, 0.1 mol/dm3 HCl and 0.1 mol/dm3 Na2EDTA. Sequential extraction protocols showed that the maximum extractable amount of zinc 126.3 ± 2.6 mg Zn / kg d.w. was bound to organic matter and sulfides. High concentrations of zinc in residual fractions were leachable under extraction conditions of strong acids only.

¿Qué aporta a la sociedad la gestión de la Administración Pública y cómo se puede medir? El artículo tiene como objetivo identificar qué aspectos tiene que tener en cuenta un gestor público para diseñar la evaluación ad hoc del valor público intangible que tiene su gestión. La metodología triangula el análisis conceptual con la observación empírica. Se identifican y exploran relaciones entre los planteamientos sobre la evaluación de las relaciones públicas y comunicación organizacional, bienes intangibles y la corriente denominada Public Value. Con las conclusiones de esta exploración se elaboran unos criterios el análisis de casos prácticos, es decir, se realiza un meta-análisis de action-research. El análisis revela que evaluar la gestión pública con el enfoque del valor público intangible implica registrar tanto el comportamiento de la organización como la reacción de la sociedad y, por tanto, computar efecto acumulado, pudiendo así proporcionar medidas del impacto; facilita además calibrar la brecha que hay entre gestión real y gestión percibida, así como explorar sus causas. Por último y en consecuencia, se explicitan los niveles, áreas y enfoques que ha de tener en cuenta un líder público para la evaluación de su gestión.

Engagement en ciudades inteligentes. Diseño de un marco de análisis teórico y aplicado para participación ciudadana.
Authors: Cortés-Cediel María E. , Gil Olga
Published: May 2018

El “engagement” puede definirse como un estado psicológico en el que el individuo centra toda su atención y disfruta de la actividad que está realizando. La literatura resalta la importancia de la búsqueda por parte de gobiernos y administraciones de este estado en el ámbito de la participación ciudadana. Las ciudades inteligentes poseen iniciativas de participación ciudadana. Sin embargo, hasta donde llega nuestro conocimiento, las claves previstas en la literatura sobre cómo puede fomentarse el engagement en participación ciudadana no han sido estudiadas en profundidad. Abordando este hecho, este artículo tiene como objetivo elaborar un marco teórico del engagement del ciudadano en participación ciudadana dentro de las ciudades inteligentes. Para ello, en primer lugar, se ofrece una definición del concepto y se identifican una serie de atributos que lo caracterizan. Además se presenta una revisión de la literatura sobre herramientas de participación en ciudades inteligentes. Posteriormente, se analizan si esas herramientas influyen en atributos del engagement. El resultado del estudio es la elaboración de un marco teórico con aplicaciones prácticas que integra atributos característicos del engagement en el campo de la participación ciudadana, y la identificación de herramientas de participación analizando si pueden ser diseñadas para incrementar los niveles de engagement de los ciudadanos.

Christian Worship as Dramaturgical Model: A Study of the Use of Drama in Nigerian Churches
Authors: Akinola Ogungbemi Christopher , Ebewo Patrick , Abodunrin Olufemi Joseph
Published: May 2018

Humans are actors on the stage called earth. It was William Shakespeare, the quintessential dramatist, who asserted that the world is a stage and all the men and women are merely players who have their exits and their entrances. In some churches, drama is employed as a tool in evangelism, while in others, it is an avoidable distraction, relegated only for use by teachers who instruct Sunday school children. However, in spite of a dearth of widespread support for church drama, more churches seem to utilise theatre and drama in their worships. It is assumed that while hearers sometimes struggle to remember verbalised sermons, the same sermons might be remembered if they are dramatised with the embellishments that scenery, stage props, music, dance, lighting, costume and dialogue bring. This article reports on an investigation into the assumption that drama is one of the timeous tools used to proclaim the timeless truth of scripture. It draws on a mixed-method approach of quantitative and qualitative methods for the study conducted in four churches in three Nigerian cities. Its historical perspective attempts to sketch major empirically grounded features of Christian worship as dramaturgical model. It further reveals the inseparable fusion of religion, theatre and drama. Findings from the study indicate that theatre and drama have become prominent in Christian worship in Nigeria in the last few years. It also suggests that theatricals and dramatics are possible reasons some churches experience numerical growth.Â
The Paradox of Same-Sex Representations: The Presence/Absence of Gays in Ugandan Short Stories
Authors: Nabutanyi Edgar Fred
Published: May 2018

The fact that same-sex sexuality is a topically combustive issue in Ugandan public discourse is reflected in debates it inspires. The debates that rage in Uganda regarding this topic are ferociously polarised around one camp that evokes the protection of minors from exploitation by â€œforeignâ€ gays and upholding Ugandan culture to support the criminalisation of a sexual orientation, and another that cites modernity and Universalistâ€™s human rights discourse to advocate for the fundamental human rights of individuals who choose to engage in same-sex relationships. The intense national anxiety around this topic is perhaps best illustrated by the controversial 2009 Anti-homosexuality Bill and the debates it produced. Granted, many Ugandan commentators, like politicians, journalists, religious leaders, traditional leaders and medical practitioners have joined in this debate to advance particular standpoints regarding this topic. However, one group of public intellectuals whose critique of this debate has attracted little scholarly attention, comprises Ugandan writers. In this article, I investigate how Ugandan short story writers have utilised fiction to map out the essence of queerness in Uganda. I argue that Lamwakaâ€™s â€˜Pillar of Love,â€™ (2012) Aracâ€™s â€˜Jambula Treeâ€™ (2007) and Paeloâ€™s â€˜Picture Frameâ€™ (2013) deploy subtle and nuanced discursive strategies to foreground the presence/absence paradox that is inherent in Ugandan discourse of same-sex sexuality.
Sub-elite Football Players With Hip-Related Groin Pain and a Positive Flexion, Adduction, and Internal Rotation Test Exhibit Distinct Biomechanical Differences Compared With the Asymptomatic Side
Authors: King Matthew G. , Semciw Adam I. , Hart Harvi F. , Schache Anthony G. , Middleton Kane J. , Heerey Josh J. , Agricola Rintje , Crossley Kay M.
Published: May 2018

Background

Hip-related groin pain is common in sub-elite football players and may be associated with altered hip biomechanics.

Objectives

To compare the hip biomechanics, bony hip morphology associated with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome, and hip strength and range of motion (ROM) between the symptomatic and asymptomatic limbs of sub-elite football players with unilateral hip-related groin pain and a positive flexion, adduction, and internal rotation (FADIR) test.

Methods

Fifteen sub-elite football (soccer) players with unilateral hip-related groin pain and a positive FADIR test were recruited for this observational cross-sectional study. Three-dimensional motion analysis and ground reaction force data were recorded for walking and a single-leg drop-jump (SLDJ) task. Participants also underwent a standard anterior-posterior hip radiograph and hip strength and ROM assessment. Between-limb differences were assessed using paired t tests or Wilcoxon signed-rank tests.

Results

The symptomatic limb displayed a smaller peak hip extension angle (P = .01) and a lower peak hip adduction moment (P = .03) compared with the asymptomatic limb during the stance phase of walking. Additionally, during the SLDJ, the symptomatic limb demonstrated less total sagittal plane ROM (P = .04). The symptomatic limb also demonstrated less external rotation ROM (P = .03). However, no differences were found between limbs for bony hip morphology associated with FAI syndrome or hip strength.

Conclusion

This study found between-limb asymmetries in low- and high-impact functional tasks, such as walking and an SLDJ, in football players with unilateral hip-related groin pain. Despite unilateral pain, bony morphology associated with FAI syndrome did not differ between limbs. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2018;48(7):584–593. Epub 8 May 2018. doi:10.2519/jospt.2018.7910

O acidente com material perfurocortante foi o tipo de acidente mais frequente, seguido pelo contato direto do profissional com sangue do paciente. A punção venosa ou arterial, descarte de seringas e agulhas foi o principal momento em que aconteceu os acidentes. Os patógenos causadores de doenças transmitidas ao profissional em detrimento do acidente ocupacional mais citadas foram o HIV e o vírus da hepatite B. Quanto à conduta dos profissionais acidentados, alguns admitem não terem notificado o acidente à Comissão Interna de Prevenção Acidentes (CIPA). Embora a maioria dos profissionais façam a notificação e iniciam o tratamento profilático ou curativo proposto, muitos não fazem o acompanhamento até o final e abandonam o tratamento. Conclusão: O profissional de enfermagem é o mais afetado por este tipo de acidente possivelmente pela maior demanda deste profissional em realizar tarefas invasivas ou manipular materiais perfurocortante.Descritores: Exposição ocupacional, Exposição a agentes biológicos, Riscos ocupacionais, Equipe de enfermagem, Pessoal de saúde
Determinantes sociais da saúde relacionados ao desmame precoce
Authors: Evangelista Érica Oliveira , Ávila Lívia Keismanas de
Published: May 2018

Objetivo: Identificar na literatura científica os determinantes sociais da saúde que influenciam o desmame precoce. Método: Estudo bibliográfico, descritivo, de abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa, realizado nas bases de dados Literatura-americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde, Bases de Dados de Enfermagem e na Scientific Eletronic Library Online. Foram incluídos no estudo artigos científicos publicados nos últimos 10 anos, em português (Brasil), que mencionaram fatores que determinam o desmame precoce. Os dados foram analisados utilizando a técnica de análise de conteúdo que consiste num processo de redução de texto em palavras e expressões significativas. Resultados: Após relacionarmos as expressões temáticas identificadas com a prevalência dos Determinantes Sociais da Saúde (DSS), identificamos que  se sobressaiu  os  determinates relacionados aos serviços de saúde. Esses artigos referem que os serviços de saúde não adotam estratégias resolutivas para aumentar o tempo de duração do  aleitamento materno exclusivo até os seis meses de vida da criança e que os profissionais possuem habilidades e conhecimento insuficientes para orientação adequada à gestante e puérpera sobre o aleitamento materno. Conclusão: O esquema das relações hierárquicas entre os diversos DSS nos auxilia na identificação de lacunas na formulação de políticas públicas e possibilita o planejamento de ações direcionadas as necessidades nesses níveis, por isso é fundamental que o profissional enfermeiro incorpore em sua prática a identificação e valorização dos DSS ampliando sua visão assistencial para além do biológico.Descritores: Aleitamento materno, Desmame, Determinantes sociais da saúde
Triangular exchange diagram within the full off-shell Coulomb T-matrix in deuteron induced reactions
Authors: Trần Hào Viết Nhân , Nguyễn Lê Như , Phạm Thảo Hương
Published: May 2018

The amplitude of the triangular diagrams in the three-body models of deuteron induced reactions with charged particles contains the off-shell two-body T-matrix describing the intermediate-state Coulomb scattering of charged subsystems. Up to now the latter has usually been replaced by the Coulomb potential due to the computational reason. In this paper, we first investigate theoretically and numerically the validity of the mentioned Coulomb-Born approximation. The results show the important contribution of the higher order of the latter approximation for the (d,p) reactions off heavy target.
An investigation of the excitation and emission properties of fluorescence compounds using DFT and TD-DFT methods
Authors: Quang Duong Tuan
Published: May 2018

The density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory methods were used for investigation of the excitation and emission properties of some fluorophores. The calculations were based on the optimized geometries of ground states and excited states at the B3LYP functional and LanL2DZ basis set. The results clarified the nature of the optical properties of the compounds and agreed well with the experimental data. The approximate values of excitation energies and emission energies of compounds were also identified. The calculated excitation energies were about 0.01 to 0.56 eV higher than experimental values. Meanwhile, the emission energies were from 0.34 to 0.89 eV higher than experimental values. These large errors occurred when there were great variations between the optimized geometries of ground state and excited states. They could be due to the presence of components of solvent in real solution that stabilized the excited states, leading to reduce the excitation and emission energies in the experiments.
