Rising petroleum derivative costs and ecological contamination with their utilization have brought expanded worldwide interest in biodiesel creation and use. The journey for bio-energy in this manner has been supported all through the world to care for the climate and substitute bio-diesel with petroleum products. The goal is to assess the seed oil of cotton and to utilize it as an elective fuel. Cottonseed oil has diesel-like fuel properties. Cottonseed oil is blended in with diesel in various extents viz 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% experimented in a compression ignition engine. Bio-diesel is generated from cottonseed through a compound interaction called transesterification. With the petrol energizes right now known and their expanding interest for utilization, it is expected that they won't keep going long. By examination, the exhibition w known and their expanding interest for utilization, it is expected that they won't keep going long. By examination, the exhibition attributes give off an impression of being improved with the utilization of cottonseed oil for brake power, CO, HC, NO and NOx emissions.

Effect of 5-weeks running training on modulation of the H-reflex amplitude on soleus muscle in non-trained men was studied. It was established that modulation of the H-reflex amplitude occurs in two phases. In the course of the first 3 weeks of running training (first phase) statistically significant (p < 0.05) increase in H-reflex amplitudes and the maximum H-reflex to the maximum M-response amplitudes ratio (10%) were registered. In contrast to the first phase, decrease in investigated parameters up to initial values were observed during the next 2 weeks of the training (second phase). An increase in the of the soleus H-reflex amplitude, is probably due to the enhanced drive in descending pathways, increased motoneuron excitability and changes in presynaptic Ia afferent inhibition, whereas decrease in the amplitude of the H-reflex might occurs presumably due to motor learning. Apparently, that the repetitive task, which automatically performed and controlled on a spinal or brainstem level can be reflected in the normalization and stabilization of the H-reflexes registered after running training in later period.
Museo de cuadros de costumbres y variedades
Authors:   Facultad de Artes y Humanidades, Universidad de los Andes, Vergara y Vergara José María , Martínez Pinzón Felipe
Published: April 2021

Esta es la primera reedición completa del Museo de cuadros de costumbres y variedades (1866). Compuesta por 97 textos cortos y la primera impresión completa de la novela Manuela, de Eugenio Díaz, esta compilación fue editada por Vergara y Vergara como un álbum de recortes a partir de periódicos publicados desde 1846 y hasta 1866. A la manera de otras compilaciones, como Los españoles pintados por sí mismos (1843-1844) o Los cubanos pintados por sí mismos (1852), Vergara buscaba que el Museo representara el álbum familiar de Colombia. A partir de tipos humanos, eventos históricos y paisajes emblemáticos del país, el Museo debía ser leído no solo por un público colombiano, sino por uno español. Este libro es una obra mayor del siglo XIX colombiano y una contribución clave de la cultura letrada decimonónica que ha permanecido al margen de los debates actuales sobre la época. Como pieza literaria, es una de las expresiones más acabadas del conservadurismo de mediados del siglo XIX, en tanto propone a Colombia como una extensión de España. Como tal, el Museo fue una reacción a las reformas liberales de la época. Estas pretendían, por una parte, la independencia cultural frente a España y, por otra, a través de empresas estatales como la Comisión Corográfica (1850-1859), organizar al país en torno a signos distintos a la religión católica o las costumbres hispanas. Aparte de enmarcar este texto en los debates acerca de las reformas liberales en Colombia, esta reedición inserta al Museo en el movimiento global de la escritura de tipos y costumbres y rescata del archivo los periódicos de los cuales Vergara extrajo sus cuadros. Contiene 32 ilustraciones de la cultura visual de la época.
Allergic rhinitis in pediatrics: local therapy
Authors: Кудрявцева А.В. , Ксензова Л.Д.
Published: April 2021

В статье описывается современный взгляд на местное лечение аллергического ринита (АР). Сегодня в мире отмечается рост заболеваемости АР, распространенность его в разных странах мира колеблется от 4% до 32% населения, в России – 10-24%. Чаще всего заболевание дебютирует в первой половине жизни. АР часто ассоциирован с бронхиальной астмой, которая выявляется у 15-38% пациентов с АР. В последнее время внимание исследователей приковано к местному АР, который диагностируется у больных с отрицательными кожными и сывороточными тестами, когда АР подтверждается провокационными пробами со значимыми для больного аллергенами с обнаружением специфических IgE в носовой полости. При проведении местной терапии для элиминации аллергенов и восстановления защитной роли эпителиальных барьеров используют назальные спреи, коротким курсом назначают деконгестанты, для купирования аллергического воспаления применяют топические антигистаминные препараты. Основными препаратами для лечения АР среднетяжелого и тяжелого течения остаются топические глюкокортикостероиды: мометазона фуроат, азеластин, флутиказона фуроат, флутиказона пропионат, беклометазона дипропионат и будесонид. Хороший эффект при лечении инфекционно-аллергического ринита получен при применении солевых растворов.

The article describes the current view of the topical treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR). Today in the world there is an increase in the incidence of AR, its prevalence in different countries of the world ranges from 4% to 32% of the population, in Russia – 10-24%. Most often, the disease debuts in the first half of life. AR is often associated with bronchial asthma, which is detected in 15-38% of patients with AR. Recently, the attention of researchers has been focused on local AR, which is diagnosed in patients with negative skin and serum tests, when AR is confirmed by provocative tests with significant allergens for the patient with the detection specific IgE in the nasal cavity. When conducting local therapy, nasal sprays are used to eliminate allergens and restore the protective role of epithelial barriers, decongestants are prescribed in a short course, and topical antihistamines are used to relieve allergic inflammation. The main drugs for the treatment of moderate to severe AR are topical glucocorticosteroids: mometasone furoate, azelastine, fluticasone furoate, fluticasone propionate, beclomethasone dipropionate and budesonide. A good effect in the treatment of infectious-allergic rhinitis was obtained with saline solutions.
Decadal Changes of Connections among Snow cover in West Siberia, Eurasia Teleconnection and O3-related meteorology in North China
Authors: Yin Zhicong , Wan Yu , Wang Huijun
Published: April 2021

Abstract. Severe surface ozone (O3) pollution frequently occurred in North China and obviously damages human health and ecosystems. The meteorological conditions effectively modulate the variations in O3 pollution. In this study, the interannual relationship between O3-related meteorology and late-spring snow cover in West Siberia was explored, and the reasons of its decadal change were also physically explained. Before mid-1990s, less snow cover could enhance net heat flux and stimulate positive phase of the Eurasia (EU) teleconnection in summer. The positive EU pattern resulted in hot-dry air and intense solar radiation in North China, which could enhance the natural emissions of O3 precursors and photochemical reactions in the atmosphere closely related to high O3 concentrations. However, after the mid-1990s, the south edge of the dense snow cover area in West Siberia shifted northward by approximately 2° in latitude and accompanied radiation and heat flux also retreated toward the polar region. The connections among snow anomalies, EU pattern and surface O3 became insignificant and thus influenced the stability of the predictability.
Aerosol acidity and liquid water content regulate the dry deposition of inorganic reactive nitrogen

Published: April 2021

Abstract. Ecosystem productivity is strongly modulated by the
atmospheric deposition of inorganic reactive nitrogen (the sum of ammonium
and nitrate). The individual contributions of ammonium and nitrate vary
considerably over space and time, giving rise to complex patterns of
nitrogen deposition. In the absence of rain, much of this complexity is
driven by the large difference between the dry deposition velocity of
nitrogen-containing molecules in the gas or condensed phase. Here we
quantify how aerosol liquid water and acidity, through their impact on
gas–particle partitioning, modulate the deposition velocity of total
NH3 and total HNO3 individually while simultaneously affecting
the dry deposition of inorganic reactive nitrogen. Four regimes of
deposition velocity emerge: (i) HNO3 – fast, NH3 – slow, (ii) HNO3 – slow, NH3 – fast, (iii) HNO3 – fast, NH3 – fast, and (iv) HNO3 – slow, NH3 – slow. Conditions that favor partitioning of species
to the aerosol phase strongly reduce the local deposition of reactive
nitrogen species and promote their accumulation in the boundary layer and
potential for long-range transport. Application of this framework to select
locations around the world reveals fundamentally important insights: the dry
deposition of total ammonia displays little sensitivity to pH and liquid
water variations, except under conditions of extreme acidity and/or low
aerosol liquid water content. The dry deposition of total nitric acid, on
the other hand, is quite variable, with maximum deposition velocities (close
to gas deposition rates) found in the eastern United States and minimum velocities in
northern Europe and China. In the latter case, the low deposition velocity
leads to up to 10-fold increases in PM2.5 nitrate aerosol, thus
contributing to the high PM2.5 levels observed during haze episodes.
In this light, aerosol pH and associated liquid water content can be
considered to be control parameters that drive dry deposition flux and can
accelerate the accumulation of aerosol contributing to intense haze events
throughout the globe.
Model-enforced post-process correction of satellite aerosol retrievals

Published: April 2021

Abstract. Satellite-based aerosol retrievals provide a timely view of atmospheric
aerosol properties, having a crucial role in the subsequent estimation of air
quality indicators, atmospherically corrected satellite data products, and
climate applications. However, current aerosol data products based on
satellite data often have relatively large biases compared to accurate
ground-based measurements and distinct uncertainty levels associated with
them. These biases and uncertainties are often caused by oversimplified
assumptions and approximations used in the retrieval algorithms due to unknown
surface reflectance or fixed aerosol models. Moreover, the retrieval
algorithms do not usually take advantage of all the possible observational
data collected by the satellite instruments and may, for example, leave some
spectral bands unused. The improvement and the re-processing of the past and
current operational satellite data retrieval algorithms would become tedious
and computationally expensive. To overcome this burden, we have developed a
model-enforced post-process correction approach to correct the existing
operational satellite aerosol data products. Our approach combines the
existing satellite aerosol retrievals and a post-processing step carried out
with a machine-learning-based correction model for the approximation error in
the retrieval. The developed approach allows for the utilization of auxiliary
data sources, such as meteorological information, or additional observations
such as spectral bands unused by the original retrieval algorithm. The
post-process correction model can learn to correct for the biases and
uncertainties in the original retrieval algorithms. As the correction is
carried out as a post-processing step, it allows for computationally efficient
re-processing of existing satellite aerosol datasets without fully
re-processing the much larger original radiance data. We demonstrate with
over-land aerosol optical depth (AOD) and Ångström exponent (AE) data from the
Moderate Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) of the Aqua satellite that our approach
can significantly improve the accuracy of the satellite aerosol data products
and reduce the associated uncertainties. For instance, in our evaluation, the
number of AOD samples within the MODIS Dark Target expected error envelope
increased from 63 % to 85 % when the post-process correction
was applied. In addition to method description and accuracy results, we also
give recommendations for validating machine-learning-based satellite data
products.
Impacts of hot-dry compound extremes on US soybean yields
Authors: Hamed Raed , Van Loon Anne F. , Aerts Jeroen , Coumou Dim
Published: April 2021

Abstract. The US agriculture system supplies more than one-third of globally-traded soybean and with 90 % of US soybean produced under rainfed agriculture, soybean trade is particularly sensitive to weather and climate variability. Average growing season climate conditions can explain about one-third of US soybean yield variability. Additionally, crops can be sensitive to specific short-term weather extremes, occurring in isolation or compounding at key moments throughout crop development. Here, we identify the dominant within-season climate drivers that can explain soybean yield variability in the US, and explore synergistic effects between drivers that can lead to severe impacts. The study combines weather data from reanalysis, satellite-based evapotranspiration and root-zone soil moisture with sub-national crop yields using statistical methods that account for interaction effects. Our model can explain on average about half of the year-to-year yield variability (60 % on all years and 40 % on out-of-sample predictions). The largest negative influence on soybean yields is driven by high temperature and low soil moisture during the summer crop reproductive period. Moreover, due to synergistic effects, heat is considerably more damaging to soybean crops during dry conditions, and less so during wet conditions. Compound and interacting hot and dry August conditions (defined by the 95th and 5th percentiles of temperature and soil moisture, respectively) reduce yields by 1.25 standard deviation. This sensitivity is, respectively, 6 and 3 times larger than the sensitivity to hot or dry conditions alone. Other important drivers of negative yield responses are lower evapotranspiration early in the season and lower minimum temperature late in the season, both likely reflecting an increased risk of frost. The sensitivity to the identified drivers varies across the spatial domain with higher latitudes, and thus colder regions, being less sensitive to hot-dry August months. Historic trends in identified drivers indicates that US soybean has generally benefited from recent shifts in weather. Overall warming conditions have reduced the risk of frost in early and late-season and potentially allowed for earlier sowing dates. More importantly, summers have been getting cooler and wetter over eastern US. Still, despite these positive changes, we show that the frequency of compound hot-dry August month has remained unchanged over 1946–2016. Moreover, in the longer term, climate models project substantially warmer summers for the continental US which likely creates risks for soybean production.
100 years of lake evolution over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Published: April 2021

Abstract. Lakes can be effective indicators of climate change, and this is especially so for the lakes over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP), the highest plateau in the world, which undergo little direct human influence. The QTP has warmed at twice as the mean global rate, and the lakes there respond rapidly to climate and cryosphere changes. The QTP has ~1200 lakes larger than 1 km2 with a total area of ~46000 km2, accounting for approximately half the number and area of lakes in China. The lakes over the QTP have been selected as an essential example for global lakes or water bodies studies. However, concerning lake data over the QTP are limited to the Landsat era and/or available at sparse intervals. Here, we extend the record to provide the comprehensive lake evolution data sets covering the past 100 years (from 1920 to 2020). Lake mapping in 1920 was derived from an early map of the Republic of China, and in 1960 from the topographic map of China. The densest lake inventories produced so far between 1970 and 2020 (covering all lakes larger than 1 km2 in 14 epochs) are mapped from Landsat MSS, TM, ETM+ and OLI images. The lake evolution shows remarkable transitions between four phases: significant shrinkage in 1920–1995, rapid linear increase in 1995–2010, relative stability in 2010–2015, and further increase in 2015–2020. The spatial pattern indicates that the majority of lakes shrank in 1920–1995, and expanded in 1995–2020, with a dominant enlargement for central-north lakes in contrast to contraction for southern lakes in 1976–2020. The time series of precipitation between 1920 and 2017 indirectly supports the evolution trends of lakes identified in this study. The lake data set is freely available at http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4678104 (Zhang et al., 2021).
Future waterscapes of the Swiss Jura: using speculative photo-response fabulation techniques with farmers
Authors: Willemin Rémi , Backhaus Norman
Published: April 2021

Abstract. In response to global change and biodiversity loss caused, inter alia, by agricultural practices, our speculative photo-response fabulation project with farmers and beekeepers in the Jura region co-develops perceptions of the future of Switzerland's waterscapes. Research participants imagine and narrate the most probable and most desired futures of waterscapes in 2222. The technique of speculative photo-response fabulation uses photographs to elicit participants' concerns over probable ecosystem degradation and drought in the Jura contrasted with their desired futures of sustainability. In their responses, participants envision actions that support systemic changes in opposition to a frontier spirit of economic profit that causes biodiversity loss.
The application of Budyko framework to irrigation districts in China under various climatic conditions
Authors: Chen Hang , Huo Zailin , Zhang Lu , Cui Jing , Shen Yingying , Han Zhenzhong
Published: April 2021

Abstract. Budyko's framework has been widely used to study basin-scale water balance. In this study, we focus on the extended application of Fu's equation (one formulation of the Budyko-type curves) to 371 large irrigation districts in China over a period of 2010–2017. Water balance method was used to estimate actual evapotranspiration (ET) in the irrigated areas. Considering the contribution of shallow groundwater to ET, the water availability in the Budyko framework defined as equivalent precipitation (Pe) for irrigation areas is the sum of irrigation water (I), precipitation (P) and groundwater evaporation (ETgw). Results showed that the relationships between evapotranspiration (ET), water availability (Pe) and energy supply (ET0) can be accurately described by the Budyko's curves. The Fu's equation performed better in humid and semi-humid regions than arid and semi-arid regions. The comparison between δET/δPe and δET/δET0 confirmed the relative effect of water availability and energy supply on ET according to the variation of climatic conditions. The optimal values of Budyko parameter ω for each irrigation district was obtained with multi-annual data using least square method. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and soil property (denoted by the proportion of clay and sand) were selected to develop empirical equation for parameter ω using multiple linear regression analysis method. This study showed that the Budyko framework can be extended to irrigation areas and provide useful information on evapotranspiration to assist in water management in irrigation areas.
Measurement uncertainty assessment for virtual assembly
Authors: Kaufmann Manuel , Effenberger Ira , Huber Marco F.
Published: April 2021

Abstract. Virtual assembly (VA) is a method for datum definition and quality prediction of assemblies considering local form deviations of relevant geometries. Point clouds of measured objects are registered in order to recreate the objects' hypothetical physical assembly state. By VA, the geometrical verification becomes more accurate and, thus, increasingly function oriented. The VA algorithm is a nonlinear, constrained derivate of the Gaussian best fit algorithm, where outlier points strongly influence the registration result. In order to assess the robustness of the developed algorithm, the propagation of measurement uncertainties through the nonlinear transformation due to VA is studied. The work compares selected propagation methods distinguished from their levels of abstraction. The results reveal larger propagated uncertainties by VA compared to the unconstrained Gaussian best fit.

Sobre el alcance del precompromiso
Authors: Moreso José Juan
Published: April 2021

Las críticas que Bayón y Gargarella dirigen al mecanismo del precompromiso pueden, tal vez, ser agrupadas en las dos siguientes: el problema de la identidad y el problema de la decisión colectiva. No trataré de presentar una concepción totalmente articulada capaz de salir al paso de sus poderosas críticas. Mi propósito es más modesto: trataré solamente de aclarar aquellos aspectos relacionados con la idea de precompromiso, una idea que a ellos no les parece valiosa para fundamentar la protección institucional del coto vedado y que yo, en cambio, considero todavía útil para este propósito. Terminaré con unas reflexiones más generales acerca de la idea de primacía de la Constitución y de la justificación del control de constitucionalidad.

After reaching old age, the elderly most often withdraw from social life. This is a serious problem because by isolating themselves from society they become less active. This has an impact on the emergence of many diseases related to both old age and the impact of physical inactivity on the body. The aim of the study was to present the consequences of the aging process in various aspects of the body’s functioning and the role of physical activity in eliminating these consequences. Unfortunately, there are still too few activities focused on physical activity for people over 65. This should change, because physical activity has a very positive effect on the human body and its well-being. Additionally, it can be observed that the earlier physical activity is started, the less changes in the body associated with the progressive aging process will occur. Such a person will be more agile and will not have major problems in dealing with overcoming the difficulties of everyday life.
Sociologia das deficiências: o que é ser pessoa com deficiência no ensino médio?
Authors:   , Alan Araújo dos. Santos
Published: April 2021

A presente pesquisa é voltada para a investigação sobre o que é ser pessoa com deficiência no Ensino Médio. Se essa etapa de ensino produz certos ritos de passagem para uma outra fase de vida social, pessoal e de escolarização, então pressupomos que os sujeitos que vivenciam o Ensino Médio acabam elaborando certas sociabilidades que revelam visões de mundo. Quando discutimos esse fato contextualizando para as pessoas com deficiência nos deparamos com sentidos e significados de (in)visibilidades que são produzidas dentro da escola. O ensino de Sociologia torna-se um instrumento de análise sociológica capaz de desvelar, denunciar e propor formas de sociabilidades, haja visto que ele é, em si mesmo, uma potência de formação crítica e social de sujeitos. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é conhecer como o ensino de Sociologia na escola regular influencia as sociabilidades das pessoas com deficiência no contexto da sala de aula no ensino Médio. Propomos enquanto metodologia a revisão bibliográfica. A partir das reflexões acerca da deficiência em Erving Goffman (1980), vamos percebendo a construção social do estigma. Em Pierre Bourdieu (1984) encontramos a escola como uma instituição posicionada e localizada, ideologicamente. Desse modo, torna-se importante disputar o espaço escolar enquanto potencializador da diversidade humana. As contribuições de Boaventura de Sousa Santos (2002) sobre a sociologia das ausências e das emergências nos possibilitam repensar a pessoa com deficiência no Ensino Médio a partir da produção de sua inviabilização. Ao estamos em um movimento de pesquisa social comprometida com a luta anticapacitista, nos deparamos com a emergência das sociabilidades das pessoas com deficiências no Ensino Médio. Vamos encontrar em Simmel (1983) o suporte teórico para compreender como essas sociabilidades são produzidas. Por fim, somos levados a pensar em uma sociologia das deficiências enquanto uma contribuição para o campo sociológico e também para a área de ensino.

ABSTRACT

 

LBW is a newborn with a birth weight of less than 2500 grams. The impact of LBW is that children are at great risk of experiencing various problems as they grow up to adulthood. The biggest risk is stunting or short stature.

Method: This type of quantitative research in this study is an analytic study with cross sectional design, using secondary data from the Medical Record Installation of Demang Sepulau Raya Hospital in 2019.

Results: The incidence of LBW was 18.2%.

in breast cancer prevention.

Results: The analysis of the literature reviews and

original articles accessing the Vitamin D3 role in breast

cancer pathogenesis and the study of the main antitumor

mechanisms of Vitamin D3 action emphasize the need

for large randomized prospective studies to determine

the actual Vitamin D3 role in breast cancer pathogenesis

and its possible inclusion in antitumor therapy regimens.

Conclusion: The results obtained evidence the Vitamin D3 adjuvant potential in breast cancer treatment

Zarathustra's Blessed Isles: Before and After Great Politics
Authors: Groff Peter S.
Published: April 2021

This article considers the significance of the Blessed Isles in Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra. They are the isolated locale to which Zarathustra and his fellow creators retreat in the Second Part of the book. I trace Zarathustra's Blessed Isles back to the ancient Greek paradisiacal afterlife of the makarōn nēsoi and frame them against Nietzsche's Platonic conception of philosophers as “commanders and legislators,” but I argue that they represent something more like a modern Epicurean Garden. Ultimately, I suggest that Zarathustra's Epicurean impulse toward withdrawal (whether into a sequestered friendship community or mountain solitude) undermines his Platonic attempts at great politics.
Disputas territoriales prolongadas y su irresolubilidad
Authors: Altieri Mariana Alejandra
Published: April 2021

Este artículo se propone analizar los conflictos de soberanía entre la República Argentina y el Reino Unido de Gran Bretaña e Irlanda del Norte sobre las islas Malvinas, Georgias y Sandwich del Sur y los espacios marítimos circundantes, y entre el Reino de España y el Reino Unido de Gran Bretaña e Irlanda del Norte por el peñón de Gibraltar, como casos de disputas territoriales prolongadas, que se han vuelto irresolubles a lo largo del tiempo. Se considera que es plausible caracterizar las disputas de soberanía de ambos casos como disputas territoriales prolongadas en tanto es posible rastrear su origen más allá del siglo XX, llegando hasta las primeras décadas del siglo XXI sin posibilidades de resolución aparente. En este sentido, se presentan los postulados de una investigación en curso que testea si los casos de Gibraltar y Malvinas pueden considerarse significativos como parte de una tendencia a la irresolubilidad de los conflictos territoriales de larga data ,que han desembocado en un estado de estancamiento en el siglo XXI debido a la imposibilidad de avanzar en negociaciones respecto de la soberanía.
