Personalplanung in Großstadtbibliotheken in Nordrhein-Westfalen
Authors: Büchel Claudia
Published: November 2018

Der demografische Wandel hat auch die Öffentlichen Bibliotheken erreicht. Zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt zeichnet sich ab, dass zur Bewältigung der zukünftigen Ausrichtung der Bibliotheken die ausschließliche Besetzung mit bibliotheksspezifischen Fachpersonal nicht sinnvoll ist. Der Fachkräftemangel verschärft die Situation, bietet aber auch Chancen, die Einsatzbereiche in Bibliotheken für andere Professionen zu öffnen. Mit Hilfe einer Online-Umfrage wurde im Rahmen eines Praxisprojektes ermittelt, wie sich der demografische Wandel in den Großstadtbibliotheken in Nordrhein-Westfalen darstellt und welche Konsequenzen sich daraus für die Einrichtungen ergeben.

Published: November 2018

Electro-spinning is widely used in tissue-engineered applications mostly in form of non-woven structures. The development of e-spun yarn opens the door for textile fabrics which combine the micro to nanoscale dimension of electro-spun filaments with three-dimensional (3D) drapable textile fabrics. Therefore, the aim of the study was the implementation of a process for electro-spun yarns. Polylactic acid (PLA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) were spun from chloroform solutions with varying PLA/PEG ratios (100:0, 90:10, 75:25 and 50:50). The yarn samples produced were analyzed regarding their morphology, tensile strength, water uptake and cytocompatibility. It was found that the yarn diameter decreased when the funnel collector rotation was increasd, however, the fiber diameter was not influenced. The tensile strength was also found to be dependent on the PEG content. While samples composed of 100% PLA showed a tensile strength of 2.5±0.7 cN/tex, the tensile strength increased with a decreasing PLA content (PLA 75%/PEG 25%) to 6.2±0.5 cN/tex. The variation of the PEG content also influenced the viscosity of the spinning solutions. The investigation of the cytocompatibility with endothelial cells was conducted for PLA/PEG 90:10 and 75:25 and indicated that the samples are cytocompatible.

McKay, BD, Miramonti, AA, Gillen, ZM, Leutzinger, TJ, Mendez, AI, Jenkins, NDM, and Cramer, JT. Normative reference values for high school–aged American football players: Proagility drill and 40-yard dash split times. J Strength Cond Res 34(4): 1184–1187, 2020—The purpose of this short report was to provide test- and position-specific normative reference values for the 10- and 20-yd split times (10YD and 20YD) during the 40-yd dash (40YD) as well as 10-yd split times during the proagility drill (PA) based on a large, nationally representative sample of high school–aged American football players in their freshman, sophomore, and junior classes. Cross-sectional performance data were obtained from 12 different high school American football recruiting combines between March 7, 2015, and January 9, 2016, across the United States. The sample included (n = 7,478) high school–aged American football athletes in their freshman (n = 1,185), sophomore (n = 2,514), and junior (n = 3,779) classes. Each player self-classified their American football positions as defensive back, defensive end, defensive linemen, linebacker, offensive linemen (OL), quarterback (QB), running back, tight end, or wide receiver. The results of the freshman, sophomore, and junior class were aggregated to generate test- and position-specific normative values. Mean differences were found among classes for all positions and all measurements (p ≤ 0.05) except for OL and QB PA split time (p > 0.05). Greater percent differences for all 3 variables were observed between freshman and sophomore years than between sophomore and junior years. These normative reference values will be useful for athletes, parents, coaches, and high school strength and conditioning professionals to set realistic goals for young American football athletes.

The Caenorhabditis elegans Gene Knockout Consortium is tasked with obtaining null mutations in each of the more than 20,000 open reading frames (ORFs) of this organism. To date, approximately 15,000 ORFs have associated putative null alleles. As there has been substantial success in using CRISPR/Cas9 in C. elegans, this appears to be the most promising technique to complete the task. To enhance the efficiency of using CRISPR/Cas9 to generate gene deletions in C. elegans we provide a web-based interface to access our database of guide RNAs (http://genome.sfu.ca/crispr). When coupled with previously developed selection vectors, optimization for homology arm length, and the use of purified Cas9 protein, we demonstrate a robust and effective protocol for generating deletions for this large-scale project. Debate and speculation in the larger scientific community concerning off-target effects due to non-specific Cas9 cutting has prompted us to investigate through whole genome sequencing the occurrence of single nucleotide variants and indels accompanying targeted deletions. We did not detect any off-site variants above the natural spontaneous mutation rate and therefore conclude that this modified protocol does not generate off-target events to any significant degree in C. elegans. We did, however, observe a number of non-specific alterations at the target site itself following the Cas9-induced double-strand break and offer a protocol for best practice quality control for such events.

Published: November 2018

Sport-related concussion is an important topic in nearly all sports and at all levels of sport for children and adolescents. Concussion knowledge and approaches to management have progressed since the American Academy of Pediatrics published its first clinical report on the subject in 2010. Concussion’s definition, signs, and symptoms must be understood to diagnose it and rule out more severe intracranial injury. Pediatric health care providers should have a good understanding of diagnostic evaluation and initial management strategies. Effective management can aid recovery and potentially reduce the risk of long-term symptoms and complications. Because concussion symptoms often interfere with school, social life, family relationships, and athletics, a concussion may affect the emotional well-being of the injured athlete. Because every concussion has its own unique spectrum and severity of symptoms, individualized management is appropriate. The reduction, not necessarily elimination, of physical and cognitive activity is the mainstay of treatment. A full return to activity and/or sport is accomplished by using a stepwise program while evaluating for a return of symptoms. An understanding of prolonged symptoms and complications will help the pediatric health care provider know when to refer to a specialist. Additional research is needed in nearly all aspects of concussion in the young athlete. This report provides education on the current state of sport-related concussion knowledge, diagnosis, and management in children and adolescents.
A cohort study of patients seeking Internet gaming disorder treatment
Authors: Han Doug Hyun , Yoo Minkyoung , Renshaw Perry F. , Petry Nancy M.
Published: November 2018

Background and aims

Although Internet gaming disorder (IGD) is included as a condition in the fifth edition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, little is known about its nature or treatment response. This study is a follow-up of 755 patients who received professional treatment for IGD over a 5-year period.

Methods

The initial recommended treatment course lasted for 8 weeks, with additional care provided as needed. Treatment completion rates in the complete sample, as well as baseline predictors of treatment completion and long-term recovery among the 367 patients who completed the follow-up, are reported.

Results

Nearly two thirds of patients who initiated treatment for IGD completed the 8-week psychotherapy. Of these, about two thirds who had not recovered completely by the end were offered additional care. Independent predictors of extended treatment were higher baseline scores on the Young Internet Addiction Scale, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Korean-Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder-Rating Scale (K-ADHD-RS). Between 1 and 5 years later, 33.5% of the complete sample was considered as recovered from IGD. Significant predictors of recovery from IGD were older age, earlier admission to the clinic, lower baseline scores on the BDI and K-ADHD-RS, and no offer of extended treatment.

Discussion and conclusions

The majority of the patients seeking treatment for IGD continued experiencing difficulties and randomized controlled trials of interventions, which are needed to be conducted to improve outcomes. Age, family, social factors, and psychological symptoms should be considered, while designing and evaluating interventions, because they impact initial and sustained response to treatment for IGD.

Published: November 2018

Background and aims

Problematic smartphone use (PSU) is an emerging but understudied public health issue. Little is known about the epidemiology of PSU at the population level. We evaluated the psychometric properties of the Smartphone Addiction Scale – Short Version (SAS-SV) and examined its associated sociodemographic factors and health behaviors in Chinese adults in Hong Kong.

Methods

A random sample of 3,211 adults aged ≥18 years (mean ± SD: 43.3 ± 15.7, 45.3% men) participated in a population-based telephone survey in Hong Kong and completed the Chinese SAS-SV. Multivariable linear regressions examined the associations of sociodemographic factors, health behaviors, and chronic disease status with SAS-SV score. Data were weighted by age, sex, and education attainment distributions of the Hong Kong general population.

Results

The Chinese SAS-SV is internally consistent (Cronbach’s α = .844) and stable over 1 week (intraclass correlation coefficient = .76, p < .001). Confirmatory factor analysis supported a unidimensional structure established by previous studies. The weighted prevalence of PSU was 38.5% (95% confidence interval: 36.9%, 40.2%). Female sex, younger age, being married/cohabitated or divorced/separated (vs. unmarried), and lower education level were associated with a higher SAS-SV score (all ps <.05). Current smoking, weekly to daily alcohol drinking, and physical inactivity predict greater PSU after controlling for sociodemographic factors and mutual adjustment.

Discussion and conclusions

The Chinese SAS-SV was found valid and reliable for assessing PSU in Hong Kong adults. Several sociodemographic and health behavioral factors were associated with PSU at the population level, which may have implication for prevention of PSU and future research.

SIGNIFICANDO O AMAMENTAR NA PRISÃO
Authors: Mariano Grasielly Jeronimo dos Santos , Silva Isília Aparecida
Published: November 2018

RESUMO Objetivo: compreender os significados da experiência de amamentar atribuídos por mulheres privadas de liberdade. Método: trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, desenvolvida por meio dos princípios da análise comparativa dos dados, adotando a codificação aberta e axial, e do Interacionismo Simbólico como referencial teórico. A coleta de dados foi feita por meio de entrevistas em profundidade, com 27 nutrizes e três gestantes, em seis penitenciárias do Estado de São Paulo, que compuseram três grupos amostrais. Resultados: a análise dos dados resultou em três temas: “Buscando a remissão pela maternidade”, onde a amamentação se insere como elemento de promoção vínculo entre mãe e filho e na promoção do bem estar materno, mas está inserida em um contexto de conflitos e perdas sociais; “Vivendo o cotidiano do apego e a expectativa da separação”, que reflete a possibilidade de ruptura da relação mãe e filho, com a conclusão do período de permanência regulamentar da criança no ambiente prisional; “Reconhecendo que houve perdas”, mas que valeu a pena, que revela uma avaliação materna sobre sua decisão de manter a criança junto a si na prisão. Conclusão: a amamentação é um dos cuidados fundamentais que a mulher privada de liberdade pode oferecer ao filho, e ainda, experiência alentadora que propicia o bem estar infantil e materno e que ela vivencia em meio a um contexto de rupturas, conflitos e preocupações com suas perdas pessoais e a condição penal.

Published: November 2018

RESUMO A diversidade de formatos utilizados para o desenvolvimento de objetos de aprendizagem contribui para que o processo de recuperação de informação relevante permaneça sendo um grande desafio para a Ciência da Informação e a Ciência da Computação. A adoção de metadados para a catalogação destes recursos vem sendo utilizada tanto em âmbito nacional quanto internacional. No entanto, não existe um consenso sobre qual é o melhor padrão de metadados. Tem como objetivo apresentar um mapeamento relacional entre principais padrões de metadados utilizados pelos repositórios de objetos de aprendizagem. A metodologia utilizada se fundamenta em análise exploratória e analítica de repositórios de objetos de aprendizagem para identificar os metadados de cada iniciativa e propor um modelo de correlação entre os padrões. Os resultados apontam que os padrões Dublin Core e LOM são referências para outros padrões de metadados. Assim, o mapeamento foi realizado a partir de uma correspondência entre esses padrões e para a validação foram analisados 140 objetos de aprendizagem disponíveis em repositórios na Web. Conclui-se que é possível estabelecer um modelo de correlação entre os metadados com um número significativo de elementos para colaborar com o processo de indexação automática e aprimorar a recuperação de informação.

Imaginários urbanos, coletivos sociotécnicos e vigilância cívica: a vida social em rede e os novos espaços da moralidade
Authors: Arruda José Pedro
Published: November 2018

Resumo Desenvolve-se aqui uma reflexão em torno das ideias de ciberativismo e de vigilância cívica através das denominadas “redes sociais”. Parte-se de uma análise comparativa entre o funcionamento de duas dessas redes, o Facebook e o 4chan, salientando-se como as plataformas tecnológicas condicionam e modelam o tipo de interações que aí ocorrem. Os coletivos sociotécnicos que interagem através dessas redes são dinâmicos e performativos, pelo que, no processo comunicacional que aí decorre, há vários conceitos que vão sendo redefinidos e reconstruídos. Assim, discutem-se também as noções de público e privado, pessoal e político, ativismo e resistência, verdade e pós-verdade. Analisam-se ainda diferentes estratégias de ação possíveis nesses novos espaços, nomeadamente o anonimato ou a personalização, que representam formas diferentes de lidar com a vigilância cívica, abrindo também lugar ao debate entre a liberdade de expressão e o politicamente correto.
Micro RNA 146a-5p expression in Kidney transplant recipients with delayed graft function
Authors: Milhoransa Patricia , Montanari Carolina Caruccio , Montenegro Rosangela , Manfro Roberto Ceratti
Published: November 2018

ABSTRACT Introduction: The development of novel non-invasive biomarkers of kidney graft dysfunction, especially in the course of the delayed graft function period would be an important step forward in the clinical practice of kidney transplantation. Methods: We evaluated by RT-PCR the expression of miRNA-146 to -5p ribonucleic micro-acids (miRNAs) in the peripheral blood and renal tissue obtained from kidney transplant recipients who underwent a surveillance graft biopsy during the period of delayed graft function. Results: In biopsy samples, the expression of miR-146a-5p was significantly increased in the group of patients with delayed graft function (DGF) (n = 33) versus stables patients (STA) (n = 13) and patients with acute rejection (AR) (n = 9) (p = 0.008). In peripheral blood samples, a non-significant increase of miR-146a-5p expression was found in the DGF group versus STA and AR groups (p = 0.083). No significant correlation was found between levels of expression in biopsy and plasma. ROC curve analysis revealed an AUC of 0.75 (95% CI: 0.62-0.88) for the renal tissue expression and 0.67 (95% CI 0.52-0.81) for the peripheral blood expression. Conclusion: We conclude that miR-146a-5p expression has a distinct pattern in the renal tissue and perhaps in the peripheral blood in the setting of DGF. Further refinements and strategies for studies should be developed in the field of non-invasive molecular diagnosis of kidney graft dysfunction.

Published: November 2018

Thermally expandable foaming microspheres (FMS) are used as a foaming agent in many different fields due to their excellent dimensional stability and elastic properties. In this study, lightweight thermal insulation materials were prepared by adding FMS to foamed concrete containing alkali-activated steel slag and blast-furnace slag. The dry bulk density, cube strength, thermal conductivity and drying shrinkage of samples with different compositions were investigated and their microstructure was analysed using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. With the addition of FMS, foamed materials with a dry bulk density of 625 kg/m3 and 40 mm cube strength of 3·6 MPa could be obtained. The 28 d drying shrinkage was 0·8 mm/m and the thermal conductivity was 0·102 W/m.K (thermal inertia index of 4·66). The results showed that FMS can be used as an organic foaming agent to prepare lightweight thermal insulation materials with improved insulation performance and mechanical properties.
Infiltration capacity of cracked pavements
Authors: Salt Charlotte , Kjeldsen Thomas R.
Published: November 2018

Understanding the hydrological behaviour of urban surfaces is imperative in the design of surface water drainage systems and flood mitigation strategies, as well as for the modelling of groundwater recharge and pollution. This study has examined the hydrological behaviour of cracked impervious surfaces through field infiltration testing and image analysis of the cracks themselves. Infiltration tests were undertaken on a section of concrete slab pavers paving. The results showed that cracks in impervious surfaces allow significant volumes of water to infiltrate through them, with infiltration rates comparable to those found in sands and gravels. Using a regression model, infiltration rates were related directly to crack characteristics obtained from image processing software, thereby enabling the first published quantitative link between percentage cracked area and infiltration capacity. The implications of accounting for this infiltration for surface water management systems are estimated to be in the order of £20 million annually for the construction industry in England.
Anticoagulant-Related Nephropathy
Authors: Brodsky Sergey , Eikelboom John , Hebert Lee A.
Published: November 2018

Anticoagulant-related nephropathy (ARN) is a newly recognized form of AKI in which overanticoagulation causes profuse glomerular hemorrhage, which manifests on renal biopsy as numerous renal tubules filled with red cells and red cell casts. The glomeruli show changes, but they are not sufficient to account for the glomerular hemorrhage. We were the first to study ARN, and since then, our work has been confirmed by numerous other investigators. Oral anticoagulants have been in widespread use since the 1950s; today, >2 million patients with atrial fibrillation take an oral anticoagulant. Despite this history of widespread and prolonged exposure to oral anticoagulants, ARN was discovered only recently, suggesting that the condition may be a rare occurrence. This review chronicles the discovery of ARN, its confirmation by others, and our animal model of ARN. We also provide new data on analysis of “renal events” described in the post hoc analyses of three pivotal anticoagulation trials and three retrospective analyses of large clinical databases. Taken together, these analyses suggest that ARN is not a rare occurrence in the anticoagulated patient with atrial fibrillation. However, much work needs to be done to understand the condition, particularly prospective studies, to avoid the biases inherent in post hoc and retrospective analyses. Finally, we provide recommendations regarding the diagnosis and management of ARN on the basis of the best information available.

Forecast of Ugra transport development
Authors: Bolshanik Petr V.
Published: November 2018

Background: The transport industry is leading in the overall structure of the country's economy. In parts of the regions, this industry can be a branch of specialization.
Aim: To forecast further development of the industry in the territory of Ugra.
Method: Analysis based on a questionnaire survey of organizations related to the transport industry in Ugra.
To analyze the further development of the transport industry of Ugra, the methods of SWOT analysis and rating ranking were used.
Results: The study revealed the main and secondary factors of the transport industry of Ugra. The analysis allowed to determine the strengths and weaknesses of transport, opportunities and threats to its development. On the basis of the analysis three rows of the forecast of transport development are given: pessimistic, moderate and optimistic.
Conclusion: Thus, based on the analysis of the data presented, the following conclusions can be drawn:
First, regional or inter-municipal highways, as well as the federal highway, perform a clearly expressed system-forming, supporting role in the common network of Ugra roads - on 8 km of these roads 8.8 km of private and local roads (for example, in Russia this ratio is 2.8 km);
These roads, in comparison with the average indicators for regional or intermunicipal motorways of Russia, have higher loads, both from single types of motor transport, and the total load from all types of motor transport.
 Secondly, measurements of traffic on the bridge over the Ob River in Surgut showed that 44 % of passenger cars and 69 % of trucks, as well as 54 % of buses in the transport stream, consisted of transport from 32 other regions of the country.
Taking into account that Rosstat cites the volumes of cargo transportation by organizations in the place of their registration, it is possible to assume with full justification that the actual volume of transported goods along the roads of Yugra is much larger. Above and the dynamics of growth in the volumes of goods transported by road.
 Thirdly, the industrial orientation of economic development predetermines the vastness of economic ties between Ugra and other regions of the country, which places regional inter-regional importance for the main regional roads, and therefore the construction and maintenance of such highways should be carried out not only at the expense of the budget of the Autonomous Okrug, but also of the federal budget.
Service experiences Maglev vehicles Shanghai
Authors: Rampelmann Reinhard , Köhler Reiner
Published: November 2018

In the late 1990s thyssenkrupp Transrapid GmbH successfully qualified the Maglev Vehicle TR08 and obtained the type approval certificate. Based on that design, in 2001-2003 three five-car vehicles for the first commercial high speed Maglev Line in Shanghai have been manufactured and set into operation. The VIP-Run took place over 15 years ago and the commercial operation has been running for almost 15 years at great availability.

The Transrapid system concept of small autonomous redundant electronics based modules facilitates significantly smooth maintenance - diagnosis, testing and system inspection.

Thanks to intelligent diagnostics, the use of easily interchangeable plug-in units, the dimensioning of the spare parts inventory according to the expected failure rates and the replenishment lead time, the maintenance efforts are still within the forecast range at the beginning of the project. Furthermore, the maintenance concept is essentially unchanged since the beginning.

There are no special materials that are subject to a potential shortage or price leap, but all according to normal industrial base.

Thanks to the low level of stress to components on board, most electrical and electronic units are still on-board as original equipment, which are 15 years old and at no end of life is visible.

But in case of repair or replacement, the challenge is the adaptation to the volatile market of electronic components. This includes the necessary lead-time for adaptive development and qualification, which has to be considered.

On the side of the vehicle supplier, a small smart team of electronics experts is managing obsolescence and compensates discontinuation.

The paper tells how it works and appreciates trustful cooperation of the supplier in Europe with the operator in China.
Narrative Genres and the Administration of Consciousness : The Case of Daisy Goodwill's Rebellion
Authors: Hernáez Lerena María Jesús
Published: November 2018

The Stone Diaries (1993), a novel by Carol Shields, examines the strategies characters use to render their selves accountable: they turn life into an ensemble made up of historical, scientific, novelistic or biographical discourse. In contrast, Daisy Goodwill, who is the subject-matter of this fictional autobiography, remains close to the epistemology of the short story, whose potential has been described by critics as a challenge to knowledge or synthesis (Cortázar 1973; Bayley 1988; Leitch 1989, May 1994; Trussler 1996). There seems to be agreement that the only condition of coherence necessary for the short story is a pointing to the evasion of meaning in life, also that the genre allies itself to the way in which the past is attached to our memory (Kosinski 1978; Hallet 1998; Lohafer 1998; Wolff 2000). This essay will analyze the implications of its protagonist’s stance with a view to pinning down some of the ideological grounds of the novel and of the short story in their approach to the question of identity.
The Receptive Vocabulary of English Foreign Language Young Learners
Authors: Jiménez Catalán Rosa María , Terrazas Gallego Melania
Published: November 2018

This paper responds to the need for research on vocabulary knowledge in foreign language education. First, we investigate the receptive vocabulary knowledge of students learning English in Spanish primary education by using the 1,000 word test and the 2,000 frequency band of The Vocabulary Levels Test (VLT). Second, we study differences between the sexes by comparing their scores. Third, we evaluate whether students’ scores correlate with their scores on a cloze test. As a result, we show that their English receptive vocabulary size falls within the 1,000 word level. Finally, we demonstrate the existence of a positive correlation between the two frequency bands and a cloze test.
Clinico-epidemiological study of iatrogenic cutaneous manifestations in neonates in intensive care unit in a tertiary care hospital
Authors: Sushmitha E. S. , Manoj D. , Ravindra K. , Guruprasad G.
Published: November 2018

Background: Neonatal dermatology, by definition, encompasses the spectrum of cutaneous disorders that arise during the first four weeks of life ranging from from physiological and transient to grossly pathological lesions in the skin of a neonate. The aim and objectives of the study were to determine the quantum of iatrogenic problems which can be minimized and prevented.

Methods: A total of 1000 neonates admitted in the tertiary care NICU of JJM Medical College were examined and spectrums of pathological cutaneous lesions noted.

Results: Among 1000 neonates examined, 101 had iatrogenic cutaneous conditions which were commonly seen in day one of life in 48 neonates and least in newborns between 15-21 days. Skin lesions were commonly seen in full term neonates (59), followed by preterm (39) and post term (3) neonates.Among the iatrogenic injuries needle prick injury (83), thermal burns (12) and bronze baby syndrome (11) were most commonly were noted in LBW and the normal for weight neonates. A variety of other conditions which could not be categorized into any of the above categories accounted for 5 cases. These included albinism, Waardenburg syndrome, TORCH complex and Down’s syndrome and Goltz syndrome.

Conclusions: Iatrogenic cutaneous abnormalities among neonates are under reported, with no detailed studies on these variants. Genetic, neonatal, maternal, social and geographic factors seen to influence the patterns of neonatal dermatoses. Hence, it is important for a dermatologist and paediatrician to have a thorough knowledge and to distinguish various iatrogenic manifestations and to minimize the outcomes during their stay in NICU.
Caminhos do saber Arukwayene nas águas da história: a emergência da historicidade Palikur em narrativas de memória
Authors: Santos Almeida Carina , Barros da Silva Elissandra
Published: November 2018

Os Palikur-Arukwayene são um povo indígena que vivem em ambos os lados da fronteira entre o Brasil e a Guiana Francesa e, juntamente com Karipuna, Galibi-Marworno e Galibi-Kalinã, constituem o que a literatura convencionou chamar de povos indígenas de Oiapoque. Este artigo aborda a emergência da “historicidade” deste povo a partir das narrativas dos sábios Wet e Tebekwe e, ao mesmo tempo, analisa como estes sábios, de forma singular e distinta, são reconhecidos e referenciados por esta sociedade. A “latência” de saberes palikur-arukwayene emerge dos estudos e pesquisas que vem sendo desenvolvidas há alguns anos com o povo e, em decorrência disso, fomentam a (re)escrita da história a partir das interseções com as narrativas de vida, relatos de experiências, transmissão e compartilhamento de conhecimentos dos sábios. Neste percurso, fizemos o registro e documentação de narrativas que possibilitam considerar que muitos dos saberes do povo mantem-se vivos e presentes nas lembranças e reminiscências de memórias dos antigos

The genus Lavandula L. (Lamiaceae) is represented in Turkey by 3 taxa (Lavandula angustifolia Mill. subsp. angustifolia, L. pedunculata  (Mill.)
subsp. cariensis (Boiss.), L. stoechas L. subsp. stoechas). L. angustifolia  is
locally known as “lavanta”, L.
pedunculata subsp. cariensis is locally known as “karan”, L. stoechas subsp. stoechas . is locally known as “karabaş” ( Mill, 1982; Dirmenci, 2012). Within this family there
are many medical species such as
Lavandula L., Lavandula angustifolia Mill.
known as medical lavender, is conducting culture and research studies in many
places in the world. It is also known as the ‘’English lavender’2 or L. officinalis. Lavender is used in
aromatherapy. Its sedative nature, on inhalation has been shown both in animals
and man. Experimental studies in humans and animals have shown that the
sedative effect comes from linalool and linalyl acetate. Tanins contained in
flowers of lavender is showned antidiarrheal effect. Essential oil of lavender
is used in various skin diseases and wound healing. Essential oil of lavender
shortens the sleeping period, prolongs the sleeping period. In addition, it
also shows antimicrobial, antiinflammatory, fungicidal, insecticidal and
acaricidal effects (Zeybek and Haksel, 2010). In this study, we were made to
create sources Lavandula agriculture in Turkey. We collected four different
provinces in the Lavandula (5 samples
and 1 commercial oil). The results of a total five local and commercial are
given below. The flowers of Lavandula were water distilled for 3 h using a
Clevenger type apparatus.
The essential oils were analyzed by GC and GC-MS simultaneously. The main constituents were identified as linalool 31.9 –
50.0 % and linalyl acetate 15.4 – 42.0 %.

The experiment comprising one hundred twenty four diverse genotypes, grown in augmented block design during Rabi 2016-17. The study revealed that the in general, genotypic correlation coefficients were higher in magnitude and similar in nature than the corresponding phenotypic correlation, suggesting therefore, a strong inherent relationship in different pairs of characters in fenugreek genotypes. Seed yield per plant had exhibited highly significant and positive phenotypic correlation with pods per plant, secondary branches per plant, primary branches per plant, and length of pods. The higher magnitude of positive direct effect on seed yield per plant was exerted by pods per plant followed by secondary branches per plant.While negative direct effect on seed yield per plant by either of the dependent traits was very low.

A six-month-long trial was conducted to assess the supplementation of 30% protein (F2) and 35% protein feed (F3) compared with conventional rice bran+mustard oil cake feeding (F1) on the growth responses of endangered Indian butter catfish, Ompok bimaculatus (pabda) stocked at 15% with 40% catla, 30% rohu and 15% mrigal in polyculture in stocking density of 4000 fingerlings/ha. Water and soil quality parameters were assessed on monthly intervals which showed normal variation among the treatments. The weight of the pabda during harvest was higher in F2 and F3 than F1; as a result, growth rate was higher in F2 and F3 than F1. Survival was highest in F2. The growth of carps was significantly improved in F2 and F3 except for mrigal in F2. Feed conversion ratio significantly lower in F2 and F3 when compared with F1. Benefit-cost ratio was lowest in F3. Overall, the pabda production was increased by 16.2% with F2 and 19.5% with F3. The study concluded that pabda perform better in polyculture with carps when feed supplemented with 30% protein feed.

Published: November 2018

Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid insecticide and has been extensively used as a crop pest and in pet flea control programme. In the present study, the effects of imidacloprid on ovary and uteri tissue was analyzed in adult female Wistar rats at two dose levels (19 and 38 mg/kg/day) administered orally for 10, 20 and 30 days. Effects were compared with respective control animals administered daily with 2% gum acacia. Parameters undertaken were organ weight, levels of cytoplasmic and membrane proteins, oxidative stress parameters viz. activities of SOD, GPx and levels of GSH and MDA and histopathological changes. IMI (38 mg/kg, 30 days) reduced cytoplamic proteins in both ovaries and uteri whereas this dose reduced membrane protein in ovaries only. IMI (38 mg/kg, 20 and 30 days) decreased SOD enzyme in both ovaries and uteri and GSH-Px levels in ovaries only. The GSH-Px levels were also seen with decreased levels in uteri with IMI (38 mg/kg) for 30 days. IMI (38 mg/kg, 20 and 30 days) induces degenerative changes in ovaries of rats. Hence, it is concluded from the present studies that administration of higher doses (38 mg/kg/day) of IMI for 20 and 30 days generated oxidative stress in ovaries and uteri of female rats.

Glanders is a fatal infectious and notifiable zoonotic disease of equines caused by the Gram-negative non-motile bacterium Burkholderia (B.) mallei, which is responsible for chronic suppurative lesions of the skin and mucous membranes, pneumonia and septicemia in equines. Glanders in horses is worldwide distributed and reported from many countries. But no prevalence study was done in Bangladesh so far. Therefore, this preliminary study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence of glanders in horses using CFT and immunoblot assay. A total of 301 serum samples from horses were collected foe the detection of glanders antibodies from Mymensingh, Tangail and Jamalpur districts in Bangladesh. By CFT 105 samples were found positive and 23 samples were suspicious. The immunoblot confirmed 26 of these samples but 3 remained suspicious. The overall seroprevalence of glanders was 34.9% based on CFT and 24.8% based on immunoblot. Higher prevalence was found in Jamalpur (11.81%). CFT is considered to be a suitable screening test for the diagnosis of glanders in field conditions in Bangladesh.

Published: November 2018

The study presented in this paper focuses on a navigational and user perspectives analysis of Web applications, highlighting some of their critical points for modeling. To consider these critical points, we propose a notational definition focused on a general metamodel, consisting of three specific metamodels: the Navigational Tree, the Node, and Roles. The metamodels have been implemented with a specific MDA (Model Driven Architecture) tool called AndroMDA, to generate applications for PHP language. Both, the general metamodel and its implementation have been analyzed by means of a proof of concept. Finally, some interesting results as well as the contribution of the proposed metamodel in comparison with other methodological proposals are discussed.
A Semantic Framework for Evaluating Topical Search Methods

Published: November 2018

The absence of reliable and efficient techniques to evaluate information retrieval systems has become a bottleneck in the development of novel retrieval methods. In traditional approaches users or hired evaluators provide manual assessments of relevance. However these approaches are neither efficient nor reliable since they do not scale with the complexity and heterogeneity of available digital information. Automatic approaches, on the other hand, could be efficient but disregard semantic data, which is usually important to assess the actual performance of the evaluated methods. This article proposes to use topic ontologies and semantic similarity data derived from these ontologies to implement an automatic semantic evaluation framework for information retrieval systems. The use of semantic simi- larity data allows to capture the notion of partial relevance, generalizing traditional evaluation metrics, and giving rise to novel performance measures such as semantic precision and semantic harmonic mean. The validity of the approach is supported by user studies and the application of the proposed framework is illustrated with the evaluation of topical retrieval systems. The evaluated systems include a baseline, a supervised version of the Bo1 query refinement method and two multi-objective evolutionary algorithms for context-based retrieval. Finally, we discuss the advantages of ap- plying evaluation metrics that account for semantic similarity data and partial relevance over existing metrics based on the notion of total relevance.
Coordinated Tuning of a Group of Static Var Compensators Using Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm
Authors: Chaparro Viveros Enrique Ramón , Sosa Ríos Manuel Leonardo
Published: November 2018

The optimal coordinated tuning of a group of Static Var Compensators (SVC), in steady state, allows the Power Electric Systems (PES) to operate close to their overload limits, maintaining the voltage stability in several operating conditions. The mentioned tuning problem was considered as a Multi- objective Optimization Problem (MOP) with three objectives to optimize: the financial investment for acquiring the set of compensators, the maximum voltage deviation and total active power loss. The Genetic Algorithm (GA), which belongs to the group of Evolutionary Algorithms, was utilized and adapted for MOP, obtaining a Multi-Objective GA (MOGA). The parameters to be adjusted in each compensator are: the reference voltage and the minimum and maximum reactive power injected to the system. In this work, the number of compensators and their locations were calculated using the Q-V sensitivity curve, from the Load Flow algorithm, based on Newton–Raphson method. The proposed coordinated tuning method will be validated considering an example of PES, where was located and tuned a specific set of compensators. Time simulations were made for dynamic performing the steady state coordinated tuning.
