This study aims to use contaminated soil with leachate to select autochthonous fungi that are able to bioremediate three types of leachate, (Young (YL), Intermediate (IL) and Old (OL)). Eleven fungal species were isolated via the enrichment method using the leachate as the sole source of carbon and energy. The isolates were evaluated for their ability to grow and remove organic pollutants at 100%, 50% and 25% (v/v) of leachate in both solid and liquid cultures that were spiked with malt extract. The results indicated that only three fungi, Aspergillus flavus (A. flavus-LC106118), Aspergillus niger (A. niger-KT192262) and Fusarium solani (F. solani-KX349467) showed significantly high capacity to grow on leachate, with maximum radial growth rates (Gr) of 7.5 mm, 4.7 mm , and 5.3 mm, respectively. In addition, 34%, 22%, and 27%, respectively of COD removal rates were obtained at 25% concentration in YL. A. flavus was the most tolerant fungus against landfill leachate, followed by F. solani, and finally A. niger. Therefore, these three fungi are good candidates for leachate bioremediation. However, for a better remediation, the combined effects of different types of fungi and leachates on the fungal growth need to be considered during the fungi selection.
Improvement of soil properties and plant responses by compost generated from biomass of phytoremediation plant
Authors: Song Uhram
Published: March 2020

Phytoremediation is an emerging green technology that uses plants to remediate environments contaminated with toxic materials. However, plants used for phytoremediation in the leachate channel of a sanitary landfill must be harvested and recycled to prevent re-release of contaminants during decomposition. Therefore, experiments were conducted to test the use of the harvested remediation macrophytes, Phragmites australis and Typha angustifolia, as composting material. Compost produced from these macrophytes significantly improved soil conditions, and, for plants grown in soil with macrophyte compost, their performance improved based on chlorophyll contents, a stress evaluation, and increase in biomass. Additionally, the bioaccumulation of contaminants was not high, with the concentrations of some elements even lower than those in the control. The decomposition rate of macrophytes in the semiarid condition of the landfill was slow, but, once composted, plant biomass was more applicable to soil. This macrophyte compost can then also be used as an economical substitute for the commercial barks currently used as co-composting material. Therefore, the composting of remediation macrophytes from the leachate channel of a sanitary landfill for application to soil will help in the sustainable management of both the leachate channels and the soils on the slopes.

Scoping Review of School-to-Work Transition for Youth With Intellectual Disabilities: A Practice Gap
Authors: Rosner Taryn , Grasso Anna , Scott-Cole Louise , Villalobos Alison , Mulcahey MJ
Published: March 2020

Importance: Youth with intellectual disabilities (ID) have persistently poor work outcomes. Occupational therapy can support school-to-work transition but is underrepresented in transition practice.

Objective: To identify and describe interventions within the scope of occupational therapy for youth with ID who are transitioning from school to work.

Data Sources: MEDLINE, ERIC, PsycINFO, and CINAHL were searched, and hand searching was performed in relevant peer-reviewed journals.

Study Selection and Data Collection: Included were peer-reviewed, English-language articles published from 2004 to 2017 describing studies focused on youth with ID with no significant co-occurring physical diagnoses who were transitioning from U.S.-based school settings to paid employment. Data extraction was managed using Google Drive. Data were organized on extraction sheets by trained reviewers. The quality of each study was assessed using questions adapted from the Critical Appraisal Skills Program checklist.

Findings: A total of 35 articles were included, 7 of which used randomized controlled designs. All articles described interventions aligned with the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process (3rd ed.), but specific mention of occupational therapy was notably absent from the literature. Interventions had little and generally low-level evidence supporting their use.

Conclusions and Relevance: Significant and concerning gaps exist in the literature on school-to-work transition for youth with ID, likely impeding evidence-based practice. No included article mentioned occupational therapy or had a contributor who was an occupational therapy practitioner. Practitioners should advocate for occupational therapy’s role in transition and contribute reports of occupational therapy transition services for youth with ID to the literature.

What This Article Adds: This study demonstrates that occupational therapy is poorly represented in literature describing transition services for youth with ID. Although the articles described interventions within the occupational therapy domain, these interventions were not provided by occupational therapy practitioners and did not have a strong evidence base.

Abstract. Theoretical, laboratory, and chamber studies have shown
fast regeneration of the hydroxyl radical (OH) in the photochemistry of isoprene,
largely due to unimolecular reactions which were previously thought not to
be important under atmospheric conditions. Based on early field
measurements, nearly complete regeneration was hypothesized for a wide range
of tropospheric conditions, including areas such as the rainforest where
slow regeneration of OH radicals is expected due to low concentrations of
nitric oxide (NO). In this work the OH regeneration in isoprene
oxidation is directly quantified for the first time through experiments
covering a wide range of atmospherically relevant NO levels (between 0.15
and 2 ppbv – parts per billion by volume) in the atmospheric simulation
chamber SAPHIR. These conditions cover remote areas partially influenced by
anthropogenic NO emissions, giving a regeneration efficiency of OH close to 1, and areas like the Amazonian rainforest with very low NO, resulting in
a surprisingly high regeneration efficiency of 0.5, i.e. a factor of 2 to 3
higher than explainable in the absence of unimolecular reactions. The
measured radical concentrations were compared to model calculations, and the
best agreement was observed when at least 50 % of the total loss of
isoprene peroxy radicals conformers (weighted by their abundance) occurs via
isomerization reactions for NO lower than 0.2 ppbv. For these levels of NO,
up to 50 % of the OH radicals are regenerated from the products of the 1,6
α-hydroxy-hydrogen shift (1,6-H shift) of Z-δ-RO2 radicals through the photolysis of an unsaturated hydroperoxy aldehyde (HPALD)
and/or through the fast aldehydic hydrogen shift (rate constant
∼10 s−1 at 300 K) in di-hydroperoxy carbonyl peroxy
radicals (di-HPCARP-RO2), depending on their relative yield. The
agreement between all measured and modelled trace gases (hydroxyl,
hydroperoxy, and organic peroxy radicals, carbon monoxide, and the sum of
methyl vinyl ketone, methacrolein, and hydroxyl hydroperoxides) is nearly
independent of the adopted yield of HPALD and di-HPCARP-RO2 as both
degrade relatively fast (<1 h), forming the OH radical and CO among
other products. Taking into consideration this and earlier isoprene studies,
considerable uncertainties remain on the distribution of oxygenated products,
which affect radical levels and organic aerosol downwind of unpolluted
isoprene-dominated regions.

Abstract. Ground-based Multi-AXis Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) measurements of aerosols and tropospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO2) were carried out in Uccle (50.8° N, 4.35° E) Brussels, during one year from March 2018 until March 2019. The instrument was operated in both UV and visible (Vis) wavelength ranges in a dual-scan configuration consisting of two sub-modes: (1) an elevation scan in a fixed viewing azimuthal direction (the so-called main azimuthal direction) pointing to the Northeast and (2) an azimuthal scan in a fixed low elevation angle (2°). By applying a vertical profile inversion algorithm in the main azimuthal direction and a parameterization technique in the other azimuthal directions, near-surface NO2 concentrations (VMRs) and vertical column densities (VCDs) were retrieved in ten different azimuthal directions. The dual-scan MAX-DOAS dataset allows partly resolving the horizontal distribution of NO2 around the measurement site and studying its seasonal variations. Furthermore, we show that measuring the tropospheric NO2 VCDs in different azimuthal directions improves the spatial colocation with measurements from the Sentinel-5 Precursor (S5P), leading to a reduction of the spread in validation results. By using NO2 vertical profile information derived from the MAX-DOAS measurements, we also resolve a systematic underestimation in S5P NO2 data due to the use of inadequate a-priori NO2 profile shape data in the satellite retrieval.

Abstract. Online instruments have been widely applied for the measurement of PM2.5 and its chemical components; however, these instruments have a major shortcoming in terms of the lack or limited number of species in field measurements. To this end, a new mass closure PM2.5 online integrated system was developed and applied in this work to achieve more comprehensive information on chemical species in PM2.5. For the new system, one isokinetic sampling system for PM2.5 was coupled with an aerosol chemical speciation monitor (Aerodyne, ACSM), an Aethalometer (Magee, AE-31), an automated multimetals monitor (Cooper Corporation, Xact-625), and a hybrid synchronized ambient particulate real-time analyzer monitor (Thermo Scientific, SHARP-5030i) to enable high-resolution temporal (1 h) measurements of organic matter, SO42−, NO3−, Cl−, NH4+, black carbon and important elements as well as PM2.5 mass concentrations. The new online integrated system was first deployed in Shenzhen, China to measure the PM2.5 composition from 25 September to 30 October 2019. Our results showed that the average PM2.5 concentration in this work was 33 μg m−3, and the measured species well-reconstructed the PM2.5 and almost formed a mass closure (94 %). The multilinear engine (ME-2) model was employed for the comprehensive online PM2.5 chemical dataset to apportion the sources with predetermined constraints, in which the organic ion fragment m/z 44 in ACSM data was used as the tracer for secondary organic aerosol (SOA). Nine sources were determined and obtained reasonable time series and diurnal variations in this study, including identified SOA (23 %), secondary sulfate (22 %), vehicle emissions (18 %), biomass burning (11 %), coal burning (8.0 %), secondary nitrate (5.3 %), fugitive dust (3.8 %), ship emissions (3.7 %), and industrial emissions (2.1 %). The potential source contribution function (PSCF) analysis indicated that the major source areas could be the region north of the sampling site. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first system that can perform online measurements of PM2.5 components with a mass closure, thus providing a new powerful tool for PM2.5 long-term daily measurement and source apportionment.

Abstract. Human-induced atmospheric composition changes cause a radiative imbalance at the top-of-atmosphere which is driving global warming. This Earth Energy Imbalance (EEI) is a fundamental metric of climate change. Understanding the heat gain of the Earth system from this accumulated heat – and particularly how much and where the heat is distributed in the Earth system – is fundamental to understanding how this affects warming oceans, atmosphere and land, rising temperatures and sea level, and loss of grounded and floating ice, which are fundamental concerns for society. This study is a Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) concerted international effort to update the Earth heat inventory, and presents an updated international assessment of ocean warming estimates, and new and updated estimates of heat gain in the atmosphere, cryosphere and land over the period 1960–2018. The study obtains a consistent long-term Earth system heat gain over the past 58 years, with a total heat gain of 393 ± 40 ZJ, which is equivalent to a heating rate of 0.42 ± 0.04 W m−2. The majority of the heat gain (89 %) takes place in the global ocean (0–700 m: 53 %; 700–2000 m: 28 %; > 2000 m: 8 %), while it amounts to 6 % for the land heat gain, to 4 % available for the melting of grounded and floating ice, and to 1 % for atmospheric warming. These new estimates indicate a larger contribution of land and ice heat gain (10 % in total) compared to previous estimates (7 %). There is a regime shift of the Earth heat inventory over the past 2 decades, which appears to be predominantly driven by heat sequestration into the deeper layers of the global ocean, and a doubling of heat gain in the atmosphere. However, a major challenge is to reduce uncertainties in the Earth heat inventory, which can be best achieved through the maintenance of the current global climate observing system, its extension into areas of gaps in the sampling, as well as to establish an international framework for concerted multi-disciplinary research of the Earth heat inventory. Earth heat inventory is published at DKRZ (https://www.dkrz.de/) under the doi: https://doi.org/10.26050/WDCC/GCOS_EHI_EXP (von Schuckmann et al., 2020).

Published: March 2020

Abstract. Data on global agricultural production are usually available as statistics at administrative units, which does not give any diversity and spatial patterns thus is less informative for subsequent spatially explicit agricultural and environmental analyses. In the second part of the two-paper series, we introduce SPAM2010 – the latest global spatially explicit datasets on agricultural production circa year 2010 – and elaborate on the improvement of the SPAM (Spatial Production Allocation Model) dataset family since year 2000. SPAM2010 adds further methodological and data enhancements to the available crop downscaling modeling: it not only applies the latest global synergy cropland layer (see Lu et al., submitted to the current journal) and other relevant data, but also expands the estimates of crop area, yield and production from 20 to 42 major crops under four farming systems across a global 5 arc-minute grid. All the SPAM maps are freely available at the MapSPAM website (http://mapspam.info/), which not only acts as a tool for validating and improving the performance of the SPAM maps by collecting feedbacks from users, but also dedicates as platform providing archived global agricultural production maps for better targeting the Sustainable Development Goals by making proper agricultural and rural development policies and investments. In particular, SPAM2010 can be downloaded via an open-data repository (DOI: https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/PRFF8V, IFPRI, 2019).
Timing of exotic, far-travelled boulder emplacement and paleo-outburst flooding in the central Himalaya
Authors: Huber Marius L. , Lupker Maarten , Gallen Sean F. , Christl Marcus , Gajurel Ananta P.
Published: March 2020

Abstract. Large boulders, ca. 10 m in diameter or more, commonly linger Himalayan river channels. In many cases, their lithology is only compatible with source areas located > 10 km upstream suggesting long transport distances. The mechanisms and timing of exotic boulder emplacement are poorly constrained, but their presence hints at processes that are significant for landscape evolution and geohazard assessments in mountainous regions. We surveyed river reaches of the Trishuli and Sunkoshi, two trans-Himalayan rivers in central Nepal to improve understanding of the processes responsible for exotic boulder transport and the timing of emplacement. Boulder size and channel hydraulic geometry were used to constrain paleo-discharges and boulder emplacement ages were determined using cosmogenic nuclide exposure dating. Modelled discharges required for boulder transport, of ca. 103 to 105 m3/s, exceed typical monsoonal floods in these river reaches. Exposure ages range between ca. 1.5 and 13.5 kyrs BP with clustering of ages around 4.5–5 kyrs BP in both studied valleys. This later period is coeval with a broader weakening of the Indian summer monsoon and glacial retreat after the Early Holocene Climatic Optimum (EHCO), suggesting Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) as a possible cause for boulder transport. We, therefore, propose that these exceptional events are climate-driven, but counter-intuitively occur in the wake of transitions to drier and warmer climates leading to glacier retreat rather than during wetter periods. Furthermore, the old ages and prolonged preservation of these large boulders in or near the active channels shows that these infrequent events have long-lasting consequences on valley bottoms and channel morphology. Overall this study sheds light on the possible coupling between large-infrequent events and bedrock incision patterns in Himalayan rivers with broader implications on landscape evolution.

Abstract. This paper presents a new version of HCLIM, a regional climate modelling system based on the ALADIN–HIRLAM numerical weather prediction (NWP) system. HCLIM uses atmospheric physics packages from three NWP model configurations, HARMONIE–AROME, ALARO and ALADIN, which are designed for use at different horizontal resolutions. The main focus of HCLIM is convection-permitting climate modelling, i.e. developing the climate version of HARMONIE–AROME. In HCLIM, the ALADIN and ALARO configurations are used for coarser resolutions at which convection needs to be parameterized. Here we describe the structure and development of the current recommended HCLIM version, cycle 38. We also present some aspects of the model performance. HCLIM38 is a new system for regional climate modelling, and it is being used in a number of national and international projects over different domains and climates ranging from equatorial to polar regions. Our initial evaluation indicates that HCLIM38 is applicable in different conditions and provides satisfactory results without additional region-specific tuning. HCLIM is developed by a consortium of national meteorological institutes in close collaboration with the ALADIN–HIRLAM NWP model development. While the current HCLIM cycle has considerable differences in model setup compared to the NWP version (primarily in the description of the surface), it is planned for the next cycle release that the two versions will use a very similar setup. This will ensure a feasible and timely climate model development as well as updates in the future and provide an evaluation of long-term model biases to both NWP and climate model developers.
Calving event size measurements and statistics of Eqip Sermia, Greenland, from terrestrial radar interferometry
Authors: Walter Andrea , Lüthi Martin P. , Vieli Andreas
Published: March 2020

Abstract. Calving is a crucial process for the recently observed
dynamic mass loss changes of the Greenland ice sheet. Despite its importance
for global sea level change, major limitations in understanding the process
of calving remain. This study presents high-resolution calving event data
and statistics recorded with a terrestrial radar interferometer at the front
of Eqip Sermia, a marine-terminating outlet glacier in Greenland. The
derived digital elevation models with a spatial resolution of several metres
recorded at 1 min intervals were processed to provide source areas and
volumes of 906 individual calving events during a 6 d period. The calving
front can be divided into sectors ending in shallow and deep water with
different calving statistics and styles. For the shallow sector,
characterized by an inclined and very high front, calving events are more
frequent and larger than for the vertical ice cliff of the deep sector. We
suggest that the calving volume deficiency of 90 % relative to the
estimated ice flux in our observations of the deep sector is removed by
oceanic melt, subaquatic calving, and small aerial calving events. Assuming a
similar ice thickness for both sectors implies that subaqueous mass loss
must be substantial for this sector with a contribution of up to 65 % to
the frontal mass loss. The size distribution of the shallow sector is
represented by a log-normal model, while for the deep sector the log-normal
and power-law model fit well, but none of them are significantly better.
Variations in calving activity and style between the sectors seem to be
controlled by the bed topography and the front geometry. Within the short
observation period no simple relationship between environmental forcings and
calving frequency or event volume could be detected.

Abstract. Subglacial water plays an important role in ice sheet dynamics and stability. It is often located at the onset of ice streams and has the potential to enhance ice flow downstream by lubricating the ice-bed interface. The most recent subglacial lake inventory of Antarctica mapped nearly 400 lakes, of which ~ 14 % are found in West Antarctica. Despite the potential importance of subglacial water for ice dynamics, there is a lack of detailed subglacial water characterization in West Antarctica. Using radio-echo sounding data, we analyse the ice-bed interface to detect subglacial lakes. We report 37 previously uncharted subglacial lakes and present a systematic analysis of their physical properties. This represents a ~ 60 % increase in subglacial lakes in the region. Additionally, a new digital elevation model of basal topography was built and used to create a detailed hydropotential model of Ellsworth Subglacial Highlands to simulate the subglacial hydrological network. This approach allows us to characterize basal hydrology, subglacial water catchments and connections between them. Furthermore, the simulated subglacial hydrological catchments of Rutford Ice Stream, Pine Island Glacier and Thwaites Glacier do not match precisely with their ice surface catchments.
Opposing Observations and the Political-Economy of Malaria Vulnerability: A Community-Based Study in Bududa, Uganda
Authors: Austin Kelly F.
Published: March 2020

Malaria is a parasitic infection that remains a leading threat to health and development in many communities, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. In Bududa, Uganda, malaria represents a key threat to health and well-being. However, whether or not malaria rates are improving in the district over time represents a conundrum. By using principles of structural fieldwork and drawing on multiple data sources that include the more- and less- powerful, opposing observations emerge, where community members perceive marked increases in malaria rates over time, while official district-level data depict the opposite. World-systems analysis illuminates the reasons behind this discrepancy, along with the factors that community members use to explain the rise in malaria suffering, including environmental changes and decreased healthcare access. Overall, this research demonstrates how global economic policies and structures create unequal health impacts, placing those in Bududa at disproportionate and elevated vulnerability to malaria.
Review of: Using Gramsci: A New Approach
Authors: Mitta Gifawosen Markos
Published: March 2020

Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks has become a very important inspiration for the twentieth-century Marxist political thinkers around the world. ‘Using Gramsci A New Approach’ is one of the most recent additions to various works done around the Prison Notebooks of this Great Italian political theorist and cultural critics. Michele Filippini, a researcher in the Department of Political and Social Sciences at the University of Bologna has come up with ‘a new approach’ on Prison Notebooks and has touched some major concepts that are previously given little attention by Gramscian scholars. By extending Gramsci’s concepts beyond Marxist perspective, Filippini’s book provides expert guides to key features and themes in Gramsci’s writing in combination with the pressing political, social and cultural struggles of our time. The author does not show a clear connection between those topics discussed in the book, but his work remains a valuable addition to Gramscian thoughts in the twenty-first century.

La norme grammaticale chez Mabanckou

« Pour la grande majorité des écrivains africains actuels, il s’agit d’envisager l’oralité comme le fondement d’une spécificité du roman africain contemporain. Ils exploitent les ressources orales pour en faire le catalyseur d’une nouvelle esthétique du roman, d’où la présence constante des ‘‘voix populaires dans leurs univers fictifs’’ », dit M. Borgomano. Les normes rigides fixes de la grammaire constituent un vrai écueil au bon fonctionnement de la langue. Si le foisonnement des constructions elliptiques confère au récit de fiction une valeur de texte influencé par l’oral, il n’en demeure pas moins que l’emploi du monosyllabique s’oriente sensiblement vers une perspective de récits oralisés.
Laboratory Management Needs of Iowa School-Based Agricultural Mechanics Teachers

Published: March 2020

Further investigation is needed to determine the specific laboratory management needs of agricultural education teachers. The theoretical foundation which guided this study was Bandura's theory of self-efficacy (1997). To further align this theory with this study, researchers explored
the beliefs and one's capabilities to organize and excute the course of action to manage an agricultural mechanics laboratory. The research objectives for this study were: Determine the self-perceived level(s) of importance and ability as related to agricultural mechanics laboratory management
competencies and determine the professional development needs of Iowa school-based agricultural education teachers regarding agricultural mechanics laboratory management competencies. Results of the Mean Weighted Discrepancy Scores (MWDS) indicated teacher's greatest in-service needs revolved
around hazardous laboratory conditions and materials. The competencies which ranked the highest included correcting hazardous laboratory conditions, safely disposing of hazardous materials, properly installing and maintaining safety devices and emergency equipment, safely handling hazardous
materials, and safely storing hazardous materials. Agricultural education teachers need professional development in the realm of hazardous conditions within the confines of an agricultural mechanics laboratory and handling hazardous materials. Working with hazardous materials is a critical
competency agricultural educators must have when managing any type of laboratory.
Sobre la formalización de conceptos análogos : Salamucha y Bochenski
Authors: Pardo José Antonio
Published: March 2020

El tomismo analítico es una corriente filosófica que va cobrando mucha fuerza. No obstante, la convivencia entre filosofía analítica y tomismo a menudo se ha topado con la dificultad de que las nociones análogas, de las cuales hace uso de manera esencial la filosofía de Tomás de Aquino, parece resistirse al análisis formal típico de la filosofía analítica. No obstante, dos filósofos tomistas, Jan Salamucha y Jósef Bochenski, entusiastas de la lógica formal y el modo analítico de hacer filosofía, propusieron una formalización de la teoría tomista de la analogía de los nombres. En este artículo se exponen de manera crítica las propuestas de estos dos filósofos.
Una recepción implícita de Platón en Fichte : la teoría del Aspecto / Christoph Asmuth ; traducción de Aldo Guarneros Monterrubio
Authors: Asmuth Christoph
Published: March 2020

El artículo quiere demostrar que el pensamiento del Fichte tardío siguió comprometido con la filosofía trascendental -esto, considerando también su teoría del aspecto, con la que Fichte se adhiere implícitamente a Platón o, mejor dicho, adhiriendo a Platón a su propia filosofía-. La argumentación procederá en cuatro pasos: En primer lugar, se explicará brevemente la recepción explícita de Platón en Fichte; después, con base en las Lecciones sobre el destino del sabio (de 1811) y la Doctrina de la ciencia de 1811, se presenta la teoría fichteana del aspecto y se muestra que se trata de un proyecto filosófico trascendental. A ello se añade una breve reflexión respecto de que esta teoría es originariamente una interpretación y transformación de los pensamientos platónicos.

Published: March 2020

This study assesses whether participation in financial education programmes has a positive effect on financial literacy. To pursue this goal, we conducted an online survey in March 2019. The sample comprised 918 Italian adults aged 30 to 91. We asked respondents if they had participated in financial education programmes during school or university years. The results show the effectiveness of participating in financial education programmes, as the rate of correct responses to financial literacy questions was higher for those who had completed one of the above-mentioned programmes than for those who did not. In addition, those who participated in a financial literacy programme during university years gave more correct answers compared to those who participated in one of these programmes during school (non-university) years.

The questionnaire was directed to a group of people who was a research sample, who at least once visited the studied region and purchased a culinary product. Conclusions from the study can be a starting point in defining future support areas and individual goals both in the strategic and operational dimension, thus ensuring sustainable and sustainable development of the tourist region.
„RENTAL FOR RENOVATION” PROGRAMS IN THE RENOVATION GAP MANAGEMENT OF COMMUNAL RESOURCES OF MUNICIPALITIES
Authors: Dziadkiewicz Michał
Published: March 2020

In the management of the municipal housing stock, the phenomenon of a renovation gap has been observed for years, the ultimate manifestation of which are the so-called vacant properties in city centres. The article evaluates the renovation gap phenomena and the co-existing phenomena of rent gap and investment gap. The assumptions of the „rental for renovation” programs in selected cities of the Silesian Voivodeship were presented, which should be considered as innovative solutions in the area of restoring vacant properties to usability. The publication also presents the results of research carried out in the Czestochowa Old Town district regarding the acceptance of the guidelines of the „rental for renovation” program by its residents.
COMPLEXITY THEORY IN MANAGEMENT
Authors: Czapla Alina
Published: March 2020

Complexity theory is an interesting complement to classic scientific theories. Although this topic is at the center of interest of a large group of researchers, there are only a few publications on this subject that can be found in Polish literature. The aim of this article is to fill this gap partially. Basic assumptions of complexity theory have been discussed. Examples of its applications in social and economic sciences as well as numerous applications in other areas have been analyzed. Particular attention was paid to the possibilities of practical application of elements of this theory in the management of complex business systems. The benefits resulting from the development of complexity theory were also shown
Passive Safety of Children Carriages on Busses

Published: March 2020

The safe mobility of young children traveling with carriages in public transportation vehicles is a problem that has not yet been satisfactorily resolved. The lack of national and international standards in this area in the past led to the development of a research developed jointly by the Universitat Politécnica Valencia and the Universidad Politécnica Madrid (Spain). This book chapter shows the results of a research program developed to evaluate the dynamic behavior of occupied children carriages (ChC) during typical driving maneuvering—sudden braking, acceleration and cornering—and in case of low-g accidents reproducing frontal impacts resembling real traffic events (deceleration 2 g, ΔV 20 km/h). In the dynamic trials, three ChC-restraint prototypes and a typical wheelchair (WhCh) back-restraint system combined with two representatives of up-to-date ChC models in misuse and correct use configurations were tested. The results demonstrated the need for preventing children injuries as a consequence of low-g accidents.A Code of Good Practice was proposed jointly with the use of a new ChC-restraint system considering R 107–06 series of amendments. The new design improves the latest revision of regulation R107 regarding the use of back-restraint systems for the transport of WhCh and ChC passengers traveling on busses.
Mathematical Fundamentals of a Diagnostic Method by Long Nonlinear Waves for the Structured Media
Authors: Vakhnenko Vyacheslav , Vengrovich Dmitri , Michtchenko Alexandre
Published: March 2020

We have proven that the long wave with finite amplitude responds to the structure of the medium. The heterogeneity in a medium structure always introduces additional nonlinearity in comparison with the homogeneous medium. At the same time, a question appears on the inverse problem, namely, is there sufficient information in the wave field to reconstruct the structure of the medium? It turns out that the knowledge on the evolution of nonlinear waves enables us to form the theoretical fundamentals of the diagnostic method to define the characteristics of a heterogeneous medium using the long waves of finite amplitudes (inverse problem). The mass contents of the particular components can be denoted with specified accuracy by this diagnostic method.
Umbilical Cord Blood and Cord Tissue Bank as a Source for Allogeneic Use
Authors: Nagamura-Inoue Tokiko , Nagamura Fumitaka
Published: March 2020

Recently, umbilical cord blood (CB) has received attention as the allogeneic optimum source for immunotherapies. More recently, the umbilical cord (UC) has been rapidly utilized as an abundant source of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), which migrate toward the inflammatory and damaged tissue to subside the inflammation and support tissue repair. Both CB and UC can be provided “off-the-shelf” cell products for immunotherapies and regenerative medicine. As biomedical wastes, CB and UC can be obtained noninvasively without any risks to the donor. CB cells and UC-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) also have higher proliferation potentials than other cells obtained from adult tissues. In addition, UC-MSCs are less immunogenic and have significant immunosuppressive ability. Several clinical trials with CB or UC-MSCs have been conducted based on these advantages. The establishment of a stable supply system of CB and UC-MSCs is critical now for their utilization in regenerative and immune cell therapies. We have thus established the cord blood/cord bank, “IMSUT CORD,” as a new type of biobank, to supply both frozen CB and UC tissues and derived cells for research and clinical uses. In this chapter, we will introduce the overall flow from collection to shipment and discuss several issues that need to be resolved in unrelated allogeneic stable supply system.

Objective: To assess the nutritional and hematological status of sickle cell children followed in the department of pediatrics of the Yalgado Ouédraogo University Hospital Centre (CHU-YO).
Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study conducted from September 1, 2017, to February 28, 2018. All children with major sickle cell syndrome followed in the department of pediatrics at the CHU-YO and following their follow-up appointments were included in the study.
Results: We included 230 children aged 11 months to 16 years with an average age of 8.5 years. The sex M/F ratio was 1.09. The SC heterozygotes were the most represented with 56.52%. The average hemoglobin level was 9.39 g/dl. The prevalences of wasting, stunting and underweight were respectively 23.04%, 15.65%, and 13.89%. In univariate analysis, the factors associated with emaciation was hyperleukocytosis (p=0.002).The factors associated with stunting were leukocytosis (p=0.01), severe anemia (p=0.01), SS phenotype (p=0.002), age range of 5-10 years (p=0.007), Secondary (P=0.007) and higher level (p=0.001) of father’s education, secondary (p=0.027) and higher level (p=0.034)of mothers’education , farmer(p=0.003) trader (p=0.042), and informal occupation of father (p = 0.002),and breastfeeding duration after 24 months (p=0.006). For underweight associated factors in univariate analysis were SS phenotype (p=0.003) and severe anemia (p=0.01).
Conclusion: The prevalence of different types of malnutrition deficiency of sickle cell children followed at CHU-YO was high. It is important to strengthen the nutritional monitoring of children with sickle cell disease for better management of the disease.
Un débat qui perdure : le corps de
l’enfant dans les crèches françaises du XIXe siècle à aujourd’hui.
Authors: Bouve Catherine
Published: March 2020

Cadre de la recherche : Cet article
s'inscrit dans la recherche historique et sociologique de la genèse des crèches
françaises, au XIXe siècle. À partir d’une recherche postdoctorale sur
l’histoire des crèches, la démarche est de prolonger cette sociohistoire,
jusqu’à aujourd’hui.

Objectifs : L’article vise à analyser
l’évolution des discours sur les pratiques, des représentations et des
politiques de l’accueil de la petite enfance, à travers une institution phare,
d’où découle la diversité des modes d’accueil aujourd’hui : la crèche
collective. Plus précisément, la façon de penser le corps politique, social et
pédagogique des enfants des crèches est au centre de l’analyse.

Méthodologie : Nous avons constitué un
corpus original et une analyse documentaire de sources primaires et secondaires
diversifiées (ouvrages, rapports, articles, etc.).

Résultats : Nous pensons pouvoir
affirmer que la tentation normalisatrice au sein des crèches françaises depuis
leur création, au XIXe siècle, jusqu'à aujourd’hui perdure. À côté du
renouvellement des pratiques, liées aux avancées technologiques et
scientifiques, à l’évolution des contextes social, politique, économique, etc.
des représentations, les politiques visent toujours, à orienter les pratiques
pour une meilleure adaptabilité des enfants et de leurs parents. Le débat sur
les finalités de la crèche est un débat de société qui se renouvelle, mais dont
les tensions fondamentales persistent, entre émancipation et
assujettissement.

Conclusions : Comprendre les
orientations politiques et les pratiques pédagogiques, d’aujourd’hui à l’aune du
passé, nous semble essentiel à la construction généalogique de cette institution
de la petite enfance, qu’est la crèche collective. L’évolution du curriculum des
crèches depuis les années 1970, évoqué rapidement dans la seconde partie, invite
à la poursuite de l’analyse sociohistorique de cette institution créée au milieu
du XIXe siècle.

Contribution : Cet article apporte une
contribution originale à une sociologie et à une histoire de l’enfance et des
institutions de l’enfance en France.
'Supervivientes 2018': «Compartir es vivir»
Authors: Sanz Martos Sandra
Published: March 2020

Los detractores de los reality shows pensarán que este tipo de programas de entretenimiento carecen de todo interés intelectual y que utilizarlos como foco de análisis para un artículo es, cuanto menos, una frivolidad. Pero como se dice popularmente, de todo se aprende, y estos formatos que se basan en la convivencia y la supervivencia no son una excepción. En esencia y haciendo un ejercicio de simplificación, el comportamiento de los concursantes de Supervivientes se puede asemejar al de los miembros de una comunidad de aprendizaje. El propósito de este artículo es establecer una pequeña comparativa entre ambos.
Democracia, gobierno abierto y desarrollo económico
Authors: Garcia Alsina Montserrat
Published: March 2020

El fortalecimiento de la democracia a menudo se vincula a rendición de cuentas, transparencia y gobierno abierto. La rendición de cuentas de las administraciones públicas está sujeta a la publicación periódica de información pública, proactiva o bajo demanda de la ciudadanía. Para hacer efectivo el gobierno abierto y que los ciudadanos participen en la toma de decisiones, estos tienen que disponer de datos e información. Si los datos y la información se publican en formatos abiertos, entonces datos e información se pueden reutilizar para crear valor.
