Dew formation characteristics of meadow plants canopy at different heights in Hulunbuir grassland, China
Authors: Xie Jingjie , Su Derong , Lyu Shihai , Bu He , Wo Qiang
Published: January 2021

A plant's foliar uptake of dew can mitigate the adverse effects caused by drought stress. However, in grassland ecosystems, it is inconclusive whether the dew condensation characteristics of plants at different heights are consistent. In this study, we wanted to know whether plant height had a significant effect on the formation of dew. In addition, we wanted to understand the difference of dew formation between C3 plant Leymus chinensis (LC) and C4 plant Cleistogenes squarrosa (CS) which have different heights and can succeed each other in the community. In nine dew nights, we measured the amount of dew formed on simulated condensation surface (different heights) and two plants at the same time. The results showed that in the height range of 5–80 cm, the dew amount increases with the canopy height, but its increase rate gradually slows down and approaches zero. The shorter CS (5–15 cm) has a similar dew amount (0.095 mm) as LC (40–70 cm) due to its compact structure of the leaves with pubescence and the more stable micro-meteorological conditions. The CS can obtain more potential dew per unit organic matter, and this may be one of the potential mechanisms for the succession from LC communities to CS communities under drought stress.

Machine Intelligence Techniques for the Identification and Diagnosis of COVID-19
Authors: Zaib Sumera , Rana Nehal , Noor Areeba , Khan Imtiaz
Published: January 2021

COVID-19, an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered enveloped
virus (SARS-CoV-2), was first reported in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 and affected
the whole world. The infected individual may develop symptoms such as high fever,
cough, myalgia, lymphopenia, respiratory distress syndrome etc., or remain completely
asymptomatic after the incubation period of two to fourteen days. As the virus is transmitted
by inhaling infectious respiratory droplets that are produced by sneezing or coughing,
so early and rapid diagnosis of the disease can prevent infection and transmission. In
the current pandemic situation, the medical industry is looking for new technologies to
monitor and control the spread of COVID-19. In this context, the current review article
highlights the Artificial Intelligence methods that are playing an effective role in rapid,
accurate and early diagnosis of the disease via pattern recognition, machine learning, expert
system and fuzzy logic by improving cognitive behavior and reducing human error.
Auto-encoder deep learning method, α-satellite, ACEMod and heterogeneous graph auto-
encoder are AI approaches that determine the transfer rate of virus and are helpful in
shaping public health and planning. In addition, CT scan, X-ray, MRI, and RT-PCR are
some of the techniques that are being employed in the identification of COVID-19. We
hope using AI techniques; the world can emerge from COVID-19 pandemic while mitigating
social and economic crisis.
Impact of Knowledge, Attitude and Practice on the Management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Developing Countries: A Review
Authors: Gupta Vivek , Gautam Sanjeev Kumar
Published: January 2021

Background:

Background: Diabetes is a major metabolic aggressive disease that has exponentially increased around the globe, including both developed and developing countries. The significant change in the lifestyle of people, attributed to the fast-paced living style and dietary conditions, are a few of the core reasons behind the disease. Multiple studies conducted in various developing countries conclude that patient education, along with adhered practices and attitudinal outlook, can significantly help in deterring the ill effects of diabetes mellitus.

Objective:

The review aimed at understanding the impact of KAP on the management of diabetes mellitus in emerging economies

Methods:

Multi-central analytical cross-sectional and prospective studies were conducted for research in multiple countries with median per capita income of ~$4,000 (developing countries - Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Iraq, Iran, Nigeria, etc.), wherein significant difference was witnessed in the outlook of patients and related stakeholders, who had a decent score of KAP relative to ones with lower scores, towards type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Results:

Among all the three variables that are capable of managing diabetes - knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) - knowledge attained a high degree of importance as it served as the initial step to control DM. In developing countries, the ratio of people with knowledge - relating to disease - is significantly dependent on age, socio-economic status and education. As per the previous studies and their corresponding results, educational awareness is of utmost importance in order to eradicate myths and wrong information around the same.

Conclusion:

The review concludes the importance of patient counseling to modify their KAP towards the disease will be highly effective in countries like India, where the count of diabetes mellitus patients is increasing aggressively. Investment in patient counselling to improve their KAP score will significantly help in palliating the effect of this disease.
DNA Damage in AML-12 Hepatocytes and 3T3-L1 Adipocytes Treated with Clopidogrel
Authors: Bayar Elif , Cevik Mehtap , Caker Selen , Cagatay Penbe , Susleyici Belgin
Published: January 2021

Background:

Clopidogrel has been commonly prescribed as a selective P2Y12 receptor
antagonist to reduce heart attack and stroke risk. Nearly 10% of absorbed clopidogrel is metabolized
to active forms by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes in the liver and 90% to inactive clopidogrel
carboxylate by esterases.

Objective:

Since different forms of clopidogrel have cytotoxic potential, our aim was to determine
the effect of 7.5, 40, and 75μM clopidogrel over DNA damage in adipocytes and hepatocytes.

Methods:

In the present study, DNA damage was investigated by Comet analysis using 3T3-L1
adipocytes and Alpha Mouse 12 (AML-12) hepatocytes.

Results:

DNA fragmentation was found to be increased as a response to 7.5 μM, 40 μM, and 75
μM clopidogrel treatment compared to non-treated control groups in AML-12 hepatocytes (p<0.01,
p<0.001, p<0.01 respectively) and 3T3-L1 adipocytes (p<0.001, p<0.001 and p<0.001respectively).
DNA damage levels as a response to clopidogrel treatment were found to be higher in 3T3-L1
adipocytes than AML-12 hepatocytes. Also, DNA damage levels in adipocytes and hepatocytes
were found to increase dose-dependently for 7.5 and 40 μM clopidogrel, whereas decreased as a response
to 75 μM.

Conclusion:

According to our results, clopidogrel results in more DNA damage in adipocytes than
in hepatocytes. The molecular mechanism of clopidogrel genotoxicity needs to be further investigated
especially in adipose tissue.
Identification of Potential Immune-related Biomarkers in Gastrointestinal Cancers
Authors: Zhu Tianyu , Dai Qi , He Ping-An
Published: January 2021

Objectives:

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancer is the most common and lethal malignant tumor,
while limited research and biomarkers are available to stratify patients who are likely to benefit from
immunotherapy in GI cancers. During early diagnosis and prognosis of GI cancers, searching for
shared potential biomarkers and differences among stages is an urgent and challenging task. The
staging RNA expression data corresponding to immune genes were analyzed to infer the immune
system in each stage of GI cancers.

Methods:

The differential expression gene analysis was performed to analyze the expression of 758
immune genes between normal and each stage samples of GI cancers. Enrichment analysis including
GO and KEGG pathway analysis was carried out to investigate the role of these differential genes
and underlying mechanisms in GI cancers. Furthermore, PPI network analysis recognized the hub
genes among these DEGs. Overall survival analysis was processed to clarify the diagnostic and prognostic
role of these potential biomarkers in early and advanced stages.

Results:

Our present work revealed the immunological commonness and differences across stages of
GI cancers, and disclosed several potential immune-related biomarkers, including CCL20, C7, CD36,
CXCL11, and CLEC5A. The potential biological function which immune system participates across
the GI cancers was highly correlated with virus and membrane.

Conclusions:

Our result facilitates to understand the involvement of immune system in GI cancers and
better design treatment strategies based on current cancer immunotherapy.
From Secretion in Pichia pastoris to Application in Apple Juice Processing: Exo-Polygalacturonase from Sporothrix schenckii 1099-18
Authors: Karataş Ersin , Tülek Ahmet , Çakar Mehmet Mervan , Tamtürk Faruk , Aktaş Fatih , Binay Barış
Published: January 2021

Background:

Polygalacturonases are a group of enzymes under pectinolytic enzymes related to enzymes that
hydrolyse pectic substances. Polygalacturonases have been used in various industrial applications such as fruit juice
clarification, retting of plant fibers, wastewater treatment drinks fermentation, and oil extraction.

Objectives:

The study was evaluated at the heterologous expression, purification, biochemical characterization,
computational modeling, and performance in apple juice clarification of a new exo-polygalacturonase from Sporothrix
schenckii 1099-18 (SsExo-PG) in Pichia pastoris.

Methods:

Recombinant DNA technology was used in this study. Two different pPIC9K plasmids
were constructed with native signal sequence-ssexo-pg and alpha signal sequence-ssexo-pg separately.
Protein expression and purification performed after plasmids transformed into the Pichia
pastoris. Biochemical and structural analyses were performed by using pure SsExo-PG.

Results:

The purification of SsExo-PG was achieved using a Ni-NTA chromatography system. The
enzyme was found to have a molecular mass of approximately 52 kDa. SsExo-PG presented as stable
at a wide range of temperature and pH values, and to be more storage stable than other commercial
pectinolytic enzyme mixtures. Structural analysis revealed that the catalytic residues of SsExo-
PG are somewhat similar to other Exo-PGs. The KMand kcatvalues for the degradation of polygalacturonic
acid (PGA) by the purified enzyme were found to be 0.5868 μM and 179 s-1, respectively.
Cu2+ was found to enhance SsExo-PG activity while Ag2+ and Fe2+ almost completely inhibited
enzyme activity. The enzyme reduced turbidity up to 80% thus enhanced the clarification of apple
juice. SsExo-PG showed promising performance when compared with other commercial pectinolytic
enzyme mixtures.

Conclusion:

The clarification potential of SsExo-PG was revealed by comparing it with commercial
pectinolytic enzymes. The following parameters of the process of apple juice clarification processes
showed that SsExo-PG is highly stable and has a novel performance.
Microwave-assisted Claisen Rearrangement of 1-Allyloxy-4-hydroxybenzene in the Presence of Metal Salt
Authors: Ozaki Fumiyoshi , Okada Yutaka
Published: January 2021

Microwave-assisted Claisen rearrangement of allyloxybenzene with a hydroxyl group
was conducted in the presence of metal salts. The rearrangement was promoted in the presence of
an alkali metal salt, because the reaction substrate was converted into a phenoxide-type ion, which
can efficiently absorb microwaves. In contrast, a Lewis acid was strongly coordinated to the ethereal
oxygen, and this structure could also absorb microwaves efficiently.
Gate Diffusion Input Based 10-T CNTFET Power Efficient Full Adder
Authors: Tyagi Priyanka , Singh Sanjay Kumar , Dua Piyush
Published: January 2021

Background:

Full adder is the key element of digital electronics. The CNTFET is the
most promising device in modern electronics. To enhance the performance of the full adder, CNTFET
is used in place of the CMOS.

Objective:

To implement the high speed full adder circuit for advance applications of the digital
world.

Methods:

Full adder circuit with a new Gate diffusion technique has been implemented in this work.
This is a comparative study of the 10-T CNTFET full adder with GDI technique and the 10-T Finfet
based full adder using GDI technique. Ultra-low-power feature is the additional advantage of the
GDI technique. This technology provides the full swing voltage to the circuit. Moreover, it also reduces
the number of transistors required. This technique has been used with CNTFET to upgrade
the full adder in terms of the dissipated power and product of power consumed and delay introduced
in the circuit.

Results:

The proposed design shows that the low power dissipation comes out to be approximately
4.3nW at 0.5volts. The power delay product is 4.7x10-20 J at the same voltage level. The FinFET
design also shows the better performance with GDI. But GDI enhances CNTFET based design power
consumption by about 32% from the FinFET.

Conclusions:

CNTFET showed a better response due to good current conductivity as compared to
the FinFET. This work has been implemented and simulated on the 32nm node technology.

Cornelius Rekenarius Hulstensis, drukker en schoolmeester in het Calvinistisch Gent (1579-1585).
Authors: Van de Venne Hans
Published: January 2021

Cornelius Rekenarius die tot halverwege het jaar 1581 zijn naam schreef als ‘Cornelis de Rekenaere’, maar daarna als ‘Cornelis de Rekenare’, werd geboren in Hulst en niet in Gent, zoals vaak is beweerd. Het predikaat ‘Hulsten sis’ dat hij in 1593 ter aanduiding van zijn plaats van herkomst onder twee door hem geschreven lofdichten aan zijn naam heeft toegevoegd, levert daarvan het bewijs. Doordat hij zich beide keren ‘Hulstenaar’ noemt, is het boven alle twijfel verheven dat zijn wieg in die plaats in Noordoost-Vlaanderen heeft gestaan

Rond het midden van de negentiende eeuw was Oost-Vlaanderen hét centrum van de jeneverstokerijen. De hele eeuw door bestond er rivaliteit tussen die stokerijen – waar het stoken meestal een seizoensgebonden nevenactiviteit was – en de zogenaamde industriële stokerijen in de steden, die hun draf verkochten aan boeren in de omliggende gemeenten. Het stak de stedelijke stokers dat die van het platteland door de overheid bevoordeeld werden door een gunstiger accijnsheffing en lagere indirecte belastingen.

Waarom abt Rafaël de Mercatel graag in Brugge verbleef. Deel 1
Authors: Hanson Marc
Published: January 2021

Rafaël de Mercatel(lis) was achtereenvolgens abt van de Sint-Pietersabdij in Oudenburg (1463-1478) en van de veel rijkere Sint-Baafsabdij te Gent (1478-1507). In beide functies verbleef hij vaak in de internationale handelsmetropool Brugge. Als gepassioneerde bibliofiel legde hij zich daar vooral toe op het bijeenbrengen van een kostbare verzameling handschriften. Vooral door deze collectie is zijn naam bij kunstkenners tot op vandaag bekend gebleven. Waarom trok de Zwinstad hem zo aan? Waarom verbleef hij vaak en graag in Brugge? Het levensverhaal van deze voor Gent belangrijke figuur, dat zich deels ook in Brugge heeft afgespeeld, geeft ons een idee van het humanistische milieu en de sfeer van luxe waarmee de prelaat zich wist te omringen.

Helical computed tomographic-dacryocystography in adult pet dwarf rabbits: procedure and normal appearance
Authors: Fritz J. , Gaillot H. , Ruel Y.
Published: January 2021

Partial or complete nasolacrimal drainage system (NLDS) occlusion is a common clinical concern in rabbits. It can be assumed that computed tomographic-dacryocystography (CTDCG) might be an efficient technique in this indication. In this prospective study, the technique of CT-DCG and the appearance of the NLDS in eight healthy rabbits on CT-DCG images are described. The quality of visualization of bony structures adjacent to the NLDS was good on pre-contrast computed tomographic images. The bony lacrimal canal had a smooth contour, a regular diameter, and its mean dimensions are provided. CT-DCG technique was easy to perform and offered a good visualization of the NLDS including anatomical narrowings and bendings. CT-DCG is a minimally invasive and informative technique for evaluating the NLDS in rabbits. Its diagnostic usefulness in exploring nasolacrimal diseases remains to be specified in this species.

Published: January 2021

A thirteen-year-old, male, castrated, non-azotemic European Shorthair was presented for treatment of hyperthyroidism. Thyroid scintigraphy using Tc99m showed bilaterally enlarged thyroid glands with an increased thyroid to salivary (T/S) ratio. The cat was treated with an intravenous injection of 4.84 mCi (179MBa) 131I. One year later, the cat showed clinical deterioration, including lethargy, weight loss and a louder heart murmur; iatrogenic hypothyroidism was diagnosed. Concurrently, renal parameters were elevated compared to the pre-treatment values. Supplementation with levothyroxine was started. Four months later, the cat was euthyroid and improved creatinine values were noted. In this case report, the diagnosis and management of iatrogenic hypothyroidism in cats and the interplay with renal function are described. An algorithm with recommendations regarding diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of these cats is presented.

An eight-year-old British Shorthair (case 1), an eleven-year-old British Shorthair (case 2) and a six-year-old European Shorthair cat (case 3) showed signs of chronic T3–L3 myelopathy. Computed tomography of the thoracolumbar and lumbosacral region was performed in all three cases and magnetic resonance imaging was only performed in case 2. Cross sectional imaging revealed an enlargement of the articular process joints from T2 to T5 in case 1, from T11 to T13 in case 2 and from T10 to T13 in case 3 causing spinal cord compression. Based on the severity of the spinal cord compression, surgical decompression by hemilaminectomy was performed in case 1. In cases 2 and 3, conservative treatment was instituted, although this condition could have been an incidental finding in these two cases. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report describing the neurological signs, imaging findings and short-term outcome in cats with multiple thoracolumbar articular process hypertrophy.

Published: January 2021

Wanneer er gesproken wordt over afwijkingen van de heupen bij honden zal menig dierenarts nog steeds automatisch aan heupdysplasie denken en vaak voegt men er ook aan toe dat dit een probleem is dat vooral de grotere rassen treft. Dit is niet geheel onterecht, maar uiteraard omvatten caniene heupafwijkingen meer dan de typische dysplasie bij grote tot reuzenrassen. In dit artikel wordt een samenvatting gegeven van mogelijke aandoeningen die voornamelijk bij de kleinere hondenrassen worden aangetroffen. Er wordt dieper ingegaan op de anatomie rondom het heupgewricht, de mogelijke diagnoses en de verschillende behandelmogelijkheden, zowel conservatief als chirurgisch.

Slachtoffer van communistische terreur? De moord op onderwijzer Herman De Vos, 13 september 1944
Authors: Meerpoel Robbe
Published: January 2021

Op 13 september 1944 werd de Aalsterse onderwijzer en medeoprichter van de Vlaamsche Kinderzegen Herman De Vos door leden van het verzet neergeschoten. Het was pas wanneer deze verzetsgroep in mei 1945 nog een tweede moord pleegde dat een onderzoek werd geopend. Tijdens het proces dat in 1950 aan het Gentse assisenhof werd gevoerd, werden de daders in de pers voorgesteld als een groep ontspoorde verzetsleden die verbonden waren met de lokale communistische partij. Herman De Vos werd afgebeeld als een willekeurig slachtoffer van het bevrijdingsgeweld. De casus werd later door voormalige collaborateurs gebruikt om het verzet in diskrediet te brengen en de framing van een repressie ‘zonder maat of einde’ kracht bij te zetten. Deze beeldvorming werd dominant in de herinnering aan de bevrijding in Aalst, doordat historici zich op tijdens het proces verschenen krantenartikelen baseerden om de moord te reconstrueren. Onderzoek van de procesdossiers bracht echter nieuwe elementen over de rol van de verschillende verzetsorganisaties en de lokale communistische partij aan het licht. De hoofdverantwoordelijke voor de moord gebruikte communisme als dekmantel om het geweld te rechtvaardigen. Herman De Vos was een toevallig slachtoffer omdat het eigenlijke doelwit, VTB-ondervoorzitter Jozef Van Overstraeten onvindbaar was. De opdracht om hem te vermoorden werd wel degelijk gedekt door het Aalsterse verzet._________

A victim of communist terror?The murder on the teacher Herman De Vos, September 13, 1944

On September 13, 1944, the teacher and co-founder of the ‘Vlaamsche Kinderzegen’ [Flemish Child Blessing], Herman De Vos, was shot in Aalst by members of the resistance. An investigation however would only be initiated after this resistance movement had committed a second murder in May 1945. During the trial – taking place at the court of assize in Ghent in 1950 – the press depicted the culprits as a group of deranged members of the resistance that were associated with the local communist party. Conversely, De Vos was portrayed as an incidental victim of the violence that ensued after the liberation of Belgium, later granting former collaborators a case to discredit the resistance, and enhance their framing of the repression as being ‘without rule or resolution.’ Moreover, this portrayal has become ubiquitous in the memory of the liberation of Aalst as historians have mainly focused on contemporaneous newspaper articles to reconstruct the trial. Analysis of the trial transcripts and documents however sheds a new light on the role of the different resistance movements and local communist party. The main culprit of the murder used communism as a pretext to justify the violence. In addition, De Vos was an unintended victim because they could not locate their actual target, Jozef Van Overstraeten, vice-chairman of the VTB [Flemish Tourist Association]. The order to murder Van Overstraeten had, in fact, been supported by the resistance in Aalst.

"Natuer en kunst gaen hier hand aen hand". Duitslandbeelden in de vroege Vlaamse beweging (1844-1848)
Authors: Langhendries Maarten
Published: January 2021

In de jaren 1840 cultiveerde de jonge Vlaamse beweging een sterke band met de Duitse cultuur. Deze bijdrage belicht welk beeld de flaminganten in deze periode hadden van de Duitse gebieden en van de Duitstalige cultuur, met name de Duitse literatuur. Een analyse van de Duitsgezinde tijdschriften De Broederhand en Het Taelverbond toont dat er onder de Duitsgezinde flaminganten een sterk geïdealiseerd beeld leefde van een groen en ruraal Duitsland. Het Duitsland dat in de twee periodieken geschetst werd, is een land van ‘dichters en denkers’, waar muziek en literatuur hun ‘ware’ volkse karakter hebben weten te behouden. Dit authentieke karakter maakte de Duitse cultuur superieur aan met name de Franse. Vlaanderen diende zich volgens de twee tijdschriften te spiegelen aan haar oosterburen in het levend en ‘oorspronkelijk’ houden van haar taal en geschiedenis.__________

“Here, nature and culture walk hand in hand”. Images of German culture in the early Flemish movement (1844-1848).

In the 1840s, the Flemish movement cultivated a strong connection to the German culture. This paper discusses the image of the German territories and German culture, in particular German literature, amongst the Flemish nationalists. An analyses of the pro-German periodicals De Broederhand and Het Taelverbond shows that these nationalists had a very romantic image of Germany as rural and characterized by unspoiled nature. The two periodicals sketch an image of a country where everybody is a poet or a philosopher. In the eyes of the Flemish nationalists, German music and literature managed to keep its ‘true’ folksy character. The authenticity of German culture made it superior to in particular French culture. According to the two magazines, Flanders has to follow the example of the Germans in keeping alive its language and past.
Profeten, psalmisten en onruststokers. Hans Kohn (1891-1971) over het Vlaamse nationalisme
Authors: Swerts Kasper
Published: January 2021

Dit artikel werpt nieuw licht op het leven en werk van de Praagse historicus Hans Kohn (1891-1971) en zijn studie over het nationalisme in de Lage Landen, in het bijzonder het Vlaams nationalisme. Het traceert de invloed van de zionistische filosoof Martin Buber (1878-1965) op Kohns studie van het nationalisme. Buber onderscheidde drie ideaaltypes – profeten, psalmisten en koningen – die Kohn zou hanteren om zijn vergelijkende studies van het nationalisme te ondersteunen. Kohn paste deze types ook toe op de Vlaamse casus, wat tot een opvallende interpretatie van het Vlaams nationalisme, en de Vlaamse beweging in haar geheel zou leiden. Kohn stelde immers dat het Vlaams nationalisme een succesvolle nationale beweging was omdat ze streefde naar een harmonie in het Belgische staatsbestel. Via de drie ideaaltypes belichtte Kohn voornamelijk dichters, schrijvers en politici die ijverden voor harmonie en eenheid, en bestempelde nationalisten die pleitten voor een onafhankelijke Vlaamse natie als nefaste onruststokers. Ondanks de duidelijke tekortkomingen in Kohns analyse van de Vlaamse casus, noopt het werk van de Praagse historicus ons echter nog steeds tot reflectie over het nationalisme, en blijft hij ook nu nog relevant voor het onderzoek naar het nationalisme, zowel in Vlaanderen als elders._________

Prophets, Psalmists and Agitators. Hans Kohn (1891-1971) on Flemish nationalism

This article shines new light on the life and work of the Prague historian Hans Kohn (1891-1971), on his study of nationalism in the Low Countries, and in particular on Flemish nationalism. The article traces the influence of the Zionist philosopher Martin Buber (1878-1965) on Kohn’s analysis of nationalism. Buber discerned three ideal types – prophets, psalmists and kings – which Kohn would rely upon when studying nationalism from a comparative perspective. Kohn would use these types when analysing the Flemish case, resulting in a peculiar interpretation of Flemish nationalism and the Flemish movement in general. Kohn argued that Flemish nationalism constituted a successful national movement precisely because it vied for harmony with the Belgian state. Via the three ideal types Kohn primarily highlighted poets, writers and politicians who strove for unity and harmony, whilst simultaneously branding nationalists that pursued an independent Flemish nation as pernicious agitators. While Kohn’s analysis did contain clear shortcomings, the Prague historian’s peculiar analysis of the Flemish case still compels us to reflect on nationalism, highlighting Kohn’s continued relevance for the study of nationalism, in Flanders and elsewhere.

Justiça Administrativa
Authors: De Lima e Silva Maurício
Published: January 2021

A administração, no Estado moderno, não dispõe de um poder arbitrário, em sentido absoluto. A discrição de seus atos está limitada pela lei. Como o particular, deve observar as regras do direito e, se as viola, sujeita-se às sanções legais, aplicadas através da justiça. E’ essa supremacia da lei que caracteriza o Estado legal, o Estado de Direito. Sabemos que a cada direito so contrapõe um dever. A lei existe para assegurar a livre fruição dos direitos, impondo sua tolerância por parte do titulares do dever jurídico, seja este o particular ou a administração. Nêste último caso, a liberdade individual, sob a tutela da lei e a ação corretora da justiça, é preservada contra as atuações abusivas do poder público.
A Organização dos Serviços Públicos Locais na Constituição de 1946 e o Problema da Municipalização
Authors: De Medeiros Ocelio
Published: January 2021

Por “administração própria”, entende-se que o Município deve estabelecer, como decorrência de seus próprios poderes políticos, os órgãos administrativos essenciais. O Município deve se administrar e governar a si mesmo e não através da União ou do Estado-membro, de vez que possui poderes constitucionais específicos, como sejam o de eleição do Prefeito (órgão executivo) e dos vereadores (que constituem o órgão legislativo). São direitos assecuratórios de sua própria antonomia.
Влияние термополевой эмиссии электронов на формирование аморфных металлических наночастиц в плазме лазерного факела
Authors: Борматов А.А. , Кожевин В.М. , Гуревич С.А.
Published: January 2021

В последние годы значительно усилился интерес к использованию структур, состоящих из аморфных наночастиц, который обусловлен их необычными электрическими, магнитными и каталитическими свойствами. Одной из важных задач, стоящих на пути к практическому применению таких структур, является разработка новых технологий их формирования. Исследования, проведенные в рамках решения этой задачи, показали, что наиболее эффективным способом получения аморфных металлических наночастиц является дробление микрокапель металлов, заряжаемых в плазме лазерного факела. Однако, несмотря на то, что использование этого метода позволило создать такие структуры из различных типов металлов, теоретический анализ эффекта дробления микрокапель проведен без детального рассмотрения процесса зарядки нанометровых капель, что в значительной мере ограничивает возможность использования имеющихся теоретических моделей для разработки новых технологий. Представлена модель, позволяющая более точно определить требования к параметрам плазмы лазерного факела, при которых реализуется эффективное дробление микрокапель металлов до нанометровых размеров. Ключевые слова: термополевая эмиссия, плазма лазерного факела, аморфные наноструктуры, предел Рэлея, каскадное электродиспергирование.
О постановке экспериментов по определению пробивной способности хвостовых участков кумулятивных струй
Authors: Федоров С.В.
Published: January 2021

According to the calculations, the penetration effect of shaped charges can be significantly increased (by 40–50 % in the case of a high-strength steel target) if due increasing the accuracy of their manufacture the lower speed threshold is reduced at which the penetration of the tail sections of the shaped-charge jet into the target is stopped. For experimental confirmation of these data, it is proposed to study in detail the penetrability of the tail sections of shaped-charge jets using cut-off rods made of high-density material located at a short distance from the shaped charge (less than its diameter) and designed to eliminate the faster part of the jet. Based on numerical simulation in the framework of a two-dimensional axisymmetric problem of continuum mechanics, possible parameters of the cut-off rods for generating solitary "tails" of shaped-charge jets with different velocities of the leading element are predicted.
