Temporal Parameters of Spontaneous Speech in Forensic Speaker Identification in Case of Language Mismatch: Serbian as L1 and English as L2
Authors: TOMIĆ Kristina
Published: February 2019

The purpose of the research is to examine the possibility of forensic speaker identification if question and suspect sample are in different languages using temporal parameters (articulation rate, speaking rate, degree of hesitancy, percentage of pauses, average pause duration). The corpus includes 10 female native speakers of Serbian who are proficient in English. The parameters are tested using Bayesian likelihood ratio formula in 40 same-speaker and 360 different-speaker pairs, including estimation of error rates, equal error rates and Overall Likelihood Ratio. One-way ANOVA is performed to determine whether inter-speaker variability is higher than intra- speaker variability across languages. The most successful discriminant is degree of hesitancy with ER of 42.5%/28%, (EER: 33%), followed by average pause duration with ER 35%/45.56%, (EER: 40%). Although the research features a closed-set comparison, which is not very common in forensic reality, the results are still relevant for forensic phoneticians working on criminal cases or as expert witnesses. This study pioneers in forensically comparing Serbian and English as well as in forensically testing temporal parameters on bilingual speakers. Further research should focus on comparing two stress-timed or two syllable-timed languages to test whether they will be more comparable in terms of temporal aspects of speech.
Eine Division des Papstes?
Authors: Becker Rainald

Riassunto

Dopo la Riforma, Baviera divenne il primo interlocutore tedesco della Curia romana a livello religioso, politico e culturale. Le relazioni con la Santa Sede erano ispirate dalla cattolicità programmatica dei Wittelsbach. La special relationship si manifestava, inoltre, in una lunga tradizione diplomatica inaugurata all’inizio del Seicento su spinta del papato. Durante la Guerra dei Trent’anni gli intensi contatti si estesero anche al campo militare. La Curia romana vide nel duca Massimiliano l’incontestata guida dell’armata cattolica, definendola la „colonna della religione cattolica“ nel Sacro Impero Romano. Promuovere gli interessi del principe tedesco (sussidi per il finanziamento dell’esercito e l’acquisizione dell’elettorato in perpetuo per la Baviera), era tra i primi obiettivi della concezione strategica del papato. Il carteggio della Nunziatura di Vienna, di cui la quarta serie per gli anni tra 1628 e 1635 è consultabile tuttora, mette in luce queste tendenze in favore della Baviera. Nelle corrispondenze curiali si delinea, essenzialmente, il tentativo di attribuire a quel territorio la qualità di Stato, termine in cui si esprime l’idea centrale del discorso politico, ma anche giuridico dell’epoca. Dalla parte della Curia romana, la strategia di state-building si ricollegò all’ambizione di assegnare un posto primario alla Baviera nel sistema geopolitico europeo („unione delle corone cattoliche“ sotto il patrocinio del papa come „padre comune“).
Investigating the prevalence of anxiety and depression in people living with patellofemoral pain in the UK: the Dep-Pf Study
Authors: Wride James , Bannigan Katrina
Published: February 2019

Background and aims

Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a common knee condition causing pain around or behind the kneecap which is exacerbated by certain activities. Traditionally it has been viewed as a self-limiting condition. Recent research proves this is not the case and the evidence for poor long-term outcomes is growing. Whilst the evidence base for PFP treatment and the understanding of its aetiology is improving, it remains a complex and difficult to treat condition. In many physical conditions, it has been shown that anxiety and depression negatively affect both their management and duration. It is unclear how prevalent anxiety and depression are in PFP. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of anxiety and depression in people living with PFP in the UK.

Methods

In order to investigate this, a cross-sectional online survey was undertaken. Four hundred participants with self-reported symptoms of PFP were recruited through a tailored social media campaign, using modified snowball sampling. Eligibility criteria were (i) aged between 18 and 44, (ii) self-reported symptoms of PFP (using accepted criteria) (iii) resident in the UK. Exclusion criteria were previous history of patella dislocation or previous surgery to affected knee. The survey recorded demographic information, previous treatment for both PFP and anxiety and depression, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Anterior Knee Pain Scale. Ethical approval was gained from a University of Plymouth Ethics Committee.

Results

Half (49.5%; n=198) of respondents were classified as experiencing anxiety and 20.8% (n=83) as experiencing depression. The levels of anxiety and depression identified in this study are higher than those found in the general population (5.9–7.8% and 3.3–7.8%, respectively). This mirrors results which have been reported in other studies into PFP in different settings and with other musculoskeletal conditions, such as osteoarthritis and contracted shoulder.

Conclusions

Anxiety and depression are more common in people living with PFP than in the general population. These findings support the need for greater research into the effects of psychological factors, such as anxiety and depression, in PFP. A key area of future research will be to determine whether these psychological factors affect treatment outcomes in people living with PFP.

Implications

This is the first study to investigate the prevalence of anxiety and depression in people living with patellofemoral pain in the UK. This study shows that anxiety and depression are very common in people living with patellofemoral pain. The need for further work into the effects of psychological factors in patellofemoral pain is indicated.

Published: February 2019

Objectives

Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that targets the B-lymphocyte surface antigen CD20. It is used in the treatment of some diseases including B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). There are a lot of data regarding effect of Rituximab on lymphoma cells. But, there is no satisfactory information about the effect of Rituximab on the signaling pathways in leukemia cells. In this study, it was aimed to understand the effect of Rituximab on JAK-STAT and NF-κB signaling pathways in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) and B-CLL.

Material and methods

Apoptotic effect of Rituximab in the TANOUE (B-ALL) and EHEB (B-CLL) cell lines were evaluated by using the Annexin V method. mRNA expression levels of STAT3 and RelA were analysed by quantitative RT-PCR (Q-PCR). Alterations in STAT3 and RelA protein expressions were detected by using a chromogenic alkaline phosphatase assay after Western Blotting.

Results

Rituximab had no apoptotic effect on both cell lines. Complement-mediated cytotoxicity was only detected in EHEB cells. mRNA and protein expressions of STAT3 and RelA genes were decreased following Rituximab treatment.

Conclusion

Our preliminary results suggest that the use of Rituximab might be effective in B-ALL though both signaling pathways.
Coloring in the ZrBeSi-type structure
Authors: Matar Samir F. , Pöttgen Rainer
Published: February 2019

The ZrBeSi type is a superstructure variant of the aristotype AlB2 with an ordering of the beryllium and silicon atoms on the boron network. Every other layer of Be3Si3 hexagons is rotated by 60°, leading to an ABAB stacking sequence and a sandwich-like coordination of zirconium by two Be3Si3 hexagons. The ZrBeSi type shows a pronounced coloring on its three crystallographic sites. Among the numerous compounds are electron-precise Zintl phases in the field of tetrelides, pnictides and chalcogenides, selenide hydrides and fluorides as well as intermetallic compounds. A variety of element combinations leads to distinctly differing c/a ratios and different bonding patterns. Several compounds are rather isopointal than isotypic. The present work focuses on a crystal chemical description of selected ZrBeSi related compounds and the results of theoretical studies for evaluating the bonding peculiarities. From quantum theory (DFT) based investigations, the trends of charge transfer according to Bader’s AIM theory have been established. These are in general agreement with the course of the electronegativities. For the prototype ZrBeSi, the main characteristics are illustrated through the electron localization function, manifesting the sp
2-like planar hybridization for the silicon atoms. The site-projected densities of states PDOS of a series of compounds underline a continuous trend from metallic (e.g. ZrBeSi) to semi-conducting (e.g. LiBC) compounds in agreement with the observed electron exchanges.
THE EFFECTS OF COOKING METHODS ON THE PROPERTIES OF BEEF LONGISSIMUS DORSI
Authors: AŞÇIOĞLU Çiğdem , ŞEVİK Ramazan
Published: February 2019

The effects of different cooking
methods (boiling, frying, oven-roasting and grilling) on certain properties of
beef longissimus dorsi were studied. Cooking loss, moisture content,
color, TBARS and the composition of fatty acids were determined. The highest
cooking loss was observed with regards to boiling (P < 0.05). TBARS
increased with boiling and oven- roasting (P < 0.05), whereas frying
and grilling had no significant effect on TBARS (P > 0.05). Color
indices were significantly changed through cooking (P < 0.05).
Polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) content increased in all cooking methods,
while saturated fatty acids (SFA) content decreased in all treatments. The
trans fatty acid (TFA) content increased after frying and oven-roasting,
whereas boiling and grilling decreased the trans fatty acid content (P
< 0.05). Grilling provided minimum cooking loss (P < 0.05) as well
as the lowest TBARS value (P < 0.05), probably due to the structure
of fire brick barbeque inhibiting the intense heat.

Conclusion: In this study, the highest urinary mercury concentration was reported (10250 ug/L) compared to other studies. Mercury concentration with no significant difference between the miner groups and others. Also, this study found high incidents of neurological symptoms associated with neurotoxicity. The problem with thinking significantly correlated to the age weighted by mercury concentration. Only tremor significantly related to the time living in the mining area. Otherwise, no significant relationship between mercury concentration ,symptoms and time living in the area.

Recommendation: conducting Interventional study by using chelation therapy, Gold miners should use safety tools, Activation of laws and conventions (MINAMATA convention).
Ambiente y post-acuerdo en Colombia: la construcción de una paz integral y con la naturaleza no-humana
Authors: Rojas-Robles Rosario
Published: February 2019

Lo ambiental no solo es relevante, sino determinante para la construcción de una paz estable y duradera en Colombia. Lo ambiental en el post-acuerdo ha permitido ver la importancia de la naturaleza no humana como motivo/botín, escenario y víctima del conflicto armado. La firma del Acuerdo de Paz ha llevado a un desescalamiento del conflicto armado, pero a su vez ha visibilizado escenarios de conflicto ambiental que evidencian un aumento de las tensiones por la tierra, los bosques (deforestación, aumento de cultivos ilícitos, etc.), el agua y los medios de vida de las comunidades. Estos conflictos ambientales ponen de manifiesto nuevos retos alrededor de cómo construir la paz en los territorios. En este contexto se hace necesario comprender las complejas dinámicas que han dado origen a nuevos conflictos ambientales y también entender aquellos que no son nuevos, sino que son el resultado de históricas disputas territoriales que, en algunos casos, pudieron escalar hasta la confrontación armada. Esta comprensión podría llevarnos a aportar elementos que ayuden a cambiar las causas estructurales que los han generado, y hacerlo junto con los actores del territorio, desde una visión integral e integradora, con una perspectiva inter y transdisciplinar e inter-saberes, que aporte a proteger la naturaleza humana y no humana hoy tan amenazada. En ese sentido, la defensa de la vida es la base para la construcción de una paz estable, duradera, integral y con la naturaleza. Si no generamos procesos que aporten a construir territorios donde quienes han sido excluidos y despojados históricamente puedan vivir y ejercer sus derechos de acuerdo con sus estilos de vida y en condiciones dignas, ninguna paz será entonces posible.

Published: February 2019

Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) on muscles, using 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT/CT. Materials and Methods: We prospectively enrolled 20 consecutive male professional water polo players. The mean age was 25 years (range, 18-36 years). All athletes underwent 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT/CT of the thigh (rectus femoris and vastus medialis muscle groups) before and after EMS. Images were quantified to identify increases in perfusion after EMS. Results: Before EMS, there were no significant differences between the right and left thigh (rectus femoris and vastus medialis muscles) in terms of perfusion (p = 0.4). However, the comparison between the pre- and post-EMS analyses of the same muscle groups showed significant differences in radiotracer uptake (p < 0.001), with a mean increase in perfusion of 128% for the rectus femoris muscle group (95% CI: 0.86-1.61) and 118% for the vastus medialis muscle group (95% CI: 0.96-1.79). Conclusion: 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT/CT is an objective means of evaluating blood flow in muscles submitted to EMS, which appears to promote significant increases in such blood flow.

Published: February 2019

RESUMO Moscas Streblidae ocorrem exclusivamente em morcegos e estão mundialmente distribuídas, com uma alta riqueza de moscas e hospedeiros no Brasil. Entretanto, o conhecimento dos aspectos ecológicos dessa relação é limitado à descrição das associações. O objetivo nesse trabalho foi caracterizar a comunidade de moscas ectoparasitas e de seus possíveis padrões de associação em uma área periurbana de Cerrado. Os morcegos foram capturados entre fevereiro e julho de 2011, com um esforço amostral de 9.504 h.m2. Os ectoparasitas foram coletados e identificados. A relação parasito-hospedeiro foi determinada usando índices como prevalência, intensidade média de infestação e especificidade. Capturamos 161 morcegos de sete espécies, dos quais 29,81% (n = 48) apresentaram-se infestados. Encontramos 83 moscas de seis espécies de Streblidae, com duas associações acidentais e oito associações não acidentais. A maior prevalência e intensidade de infestação foram verificadas na associação entre Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758) e Trichobius joblingi Wenzel, 1966. Artibeus planirostris (Spix, 1823) também apresentou elevadas taxas de prevalência, enquanto Artibeus lituratus (Olfers, 1818) e Sturnira lilium (E, Geoffroy, 1810) revelaram baixas prevalências de infestação. Quatro espécies de Streblidae foram consideradas monoxênicas e duas oligoxênicas, o que é indicado pela análise de especificidade, o que demonstra o predomínio de espécies monoxênicas já relatado em outros trabalhos.

Abstract Introduction Understanding the effects of periodontal therapy is essential in performance and satisfaction of partially dentate patients. Objective To assess the effect of subgingival periodontal treatment in performance and masticatory satisfaction and ability as reported by partially dentate patients with untreated chronic periodontitis. Materials and method Patients were given nonsurgical periodontal treatment and masticatory satisfaction, ability, and performance were evaluated before and after treatment. Performance was assessed based on sieving chewed standardized chewable material, while satisfaction and ability were analyzed using a questionnaire based on OHIP-EDENT. Result Mean numbers of functional tooth units were 10.36 ± 1.43 anterior and 6.73 ± 0.79 posterior teeth. Masticatory performance did not vary significantly (p = 0.075), and mean particle sizes before and after treatment were 4.23 ± 1.84 mm and 3.90 ± 0.75 mm, respectively. Overall satisfaction and ability scores after treatment were higher (p > 0.05) compared with scores prior to the periodontal intervention. Conclusion Periodontal treatment improves masticatory satisfaction and ability with no effect on performance.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the risk behavior for bulimia among female adolescents from public and private high schools. Methods: A cross-sectional study with a random sample of 850 female students aged 15-18 years was carried out in a city in northeastern Brazil, using the Bulimic Investigatory Test of Edinburgh (BITE) to assess the risk behavior for bulimia. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software and the Pearson’s chi-square , Fisher’s exact and robust Poisson regression tests, adopting the significance level of 5%. Results: Less than half of the sample (42.0%) showed standards of dietary risk and weight control practices; in 1.4% of the sample, bulimia signs were already installed. Fear of gaining weight was reported by 62.8% of the subjects. Risk practices were lower among students from public schools; (Odds Ratio - OR - 0.82; confidence interval of 95% - 95%CI - 0.69-0.97). Among restrictive practices, fasting for a whole day was the most applied (29.9% of the students). Among individuals who were at risk situation, almost half believed to have normal eating habits (prevalence ratio - PR - 0.42; 95%CI 0.36-0.49). Individuals who consider their eating habits normal, who are afraid of gaining weight, those who seek emotional comfort in food and follow strict diets had higher risk for bulimia (p<0.05). Conclusions: The number of female adolescent students with risk behavior practices for bulimia is high, and the frequency of those unaware of this situation is also very high. Risk situations emerge as a collective health problem, and individuals from private schools were more likely to be in this situation.

Resumo Os Núcleos de Apoio à Saúde da Família (Nasf) visam ampliar e qualificar ações junto à Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF), contribuindo para consolidar os princípios do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), a exemplo da integralidade, que ainda se depara com muitos desafios, um dos quais é a cultura organizacional. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar os aspectos restritivos ao princípio da integralidade. Trata-se de um estudo avaliativo, orientado pelo enfoque de quarta geração, tendo como cenário um município do Nordeste do Brasil; envolveu gestores, profissionais do Nasf, profissionais da ESF e usuários, totalizando 27 participantes. Para a construção do material discursivo, utilizamos entrevistas semiestruturadas, operacionalizando o Círculo Hermenêutico-Dialético. O material empírico deu origem a quatro categorias: fragilidade do vínculo com o território; desafios do trabalho em equipe multidisciplinar; falta de competências para a atuação no Nasf; e deficiência de apoio logístico. Evidencia-se como fator restritivo de destaque à atuação do Nasf concernente à integralidade a fragilidade do vínculo entre as equipes de saúde e destas com a população, além da falta de competências dos profissionais, cuja importância se expressa nos resultados.
Outro olhar sobre a vigilância sanitária de produtos no Brasil: a legislação de controle sanitário das importações em foco
Authors: DELPHIM CHRISTIANE TEIXEIRA DOS SANTOS , KORNIS GEORGE EDWARD MACHADO
Published: February 2019

Resumo Este artigo tem como objeto a regulamentação adotada pelo Brasil no que tange ao controle sanitário da importação de produtos sob vigilância sanitária. O estudo incorporou os aspectos políticos, técnicos, econômicos e institucionais envolvidos no controle das importações. Destaca-se, ainda, a identificação de atores que se mostraram relevantes na formulação e na implantação das normas. Nesta perspectiva, foi realizado estudo singular do conjunto das normatizações publicadas entre 1996 e 2013 editadas desde a antiga Secretaria de Vigilância Sanitária até a Anvisa. Como resultado, foram selecionadas cinco normas para análise, bem como suas alterações posteriores, caracterizando um estudo qualitativo de caráter exploratório, executado com base na análise temática de conteúdo. O exame desse material permitiu traçar uma trajetória do controle sanitário das importações, possibilitando destacar as condicionantes para as alterações dos regulamentos e os efeitos produzidos por estas. Observou-se que tanto a elaboração quanto os posteriores desdobramentos das normatizações foram influenciados pelas mudanças políticas e econômicas observadas no país e no mundo, sofrendo a determinação de organismos internacionais e de atores intra e extra-institucionais, que conduziram a restrições no controle de produtos importados. O estudo permitiu conhecer melhor a prática da vigilância sanitária, no âmbito da importação.

Published: February 2019

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi elucidar a repercussão da prisão da mulher no âmbito da maternidade e das relações interpessoais, estabelecidas antes e durante o cumprimento da pena. Trata-se de pesquisa exploratória e transversal com delineamento qualitativo, com 15 participantes presas em regime fechado. Foram realizadas 13 entrevistas semiestruturadas e três grupos focais entre abril e julho de 2017. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos a uma análise de conteúdo. Concluiu-se que a precariedade das relações interpessoais estabelecidas durante o cumprimento da pena influencia na possibilidade do exercício da maternidade no contexto prisional. Por isso, é necessário investimento para mediar o ambiente prisional, a fim de torná-lo mais favorável às relações interpessoais entre as presas, o que poderá propiciar um ambiente menos hostil para o acolhimento de visitantes, tendo em vista o fortalecimento dos vínculos com filhos e familiares.

Resumo O artigo mapeou os efeitos associados à intervenção do apoio institucional no contexto da atenção básica em saúde, com a perspectiva de identificar e problematizar o alcance e as questões relevantes para sua consolidação. Realizamos uma pesquisa bibliográfica, no Portal de Periódicos da Capes e na Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS), entre janeiro de 2016 e outubro de 2017. O corpus empírico da pesquisa foi composto por 68 documentos. A literatura confirma o movimento de institucionalização do apoio institucional no âmbito da atenção básica, possibilitando-nos entrever avanços, dificuldades e contradições. As mudanças relatadas sugerem que o apoio promove impactos reais nas práticas sociais que permeiam o cotidiano dos serviços de saúde. Apontam também para perspectivas promissoras de mudanças na cultura organizacional dessas instituições. Contudo, evidenciam o desafio de aguçar as dimensões e implicações políticas e culturais dessa forma de intervenção, a fim de que não sejam moldadas e direcionadas apenas para a qualificação dos processos de trabalho e consigam intervir de forma substantiva na democratização das instituições de saúde.

Published: February 2019

SUMMARY The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of environmental factors on the performance of progeny from different Nellore sires in Brazilian semiarid region. Data on live weight, average daily gain and scrotal circumference of 741 animals categorized as OR (open registry) or PB (purebred) and born from 27 sires were collected from a commercial farm located in Varzelândia-MG. Evaluations were taken at 12 (yearling) and 18months of age. Data were analyzed using the least-squares method, considering the effect of pedigree (OR or PB), sire, year of birth, month of birth and calf sex in the model. There was a significant influence of the pedigree, sex, month of birth and sire on animal's performance until yearling age, whereas the performance traits at 18months were influenced only by the month of birth and sire (P<0.05). Therefore, environmental factors such as year, month of birth and calf sex are important sources of variation on calf performance from birth to18 months and it should be considered when comparing and selecting animals based on these traits.

SUMMARY The effect of the disinfection of fertile eggs of free-range poultry with essential oils from Cymbopogon flexuosus and Lippia rotundifolia was evaluated. The treatments applied to the eggs were (v v-1): 1% essential oil from C. flexuosus (CF), 1% essential oil from L. rotundifolia(LR), 0.1% CF + LR, and 0.1% quaternary ammonia (QA) (positive control). The eggs were incubated for 21 days, the birds from hatched eggs were counted and weighed, and not hatched eggs were opened and examined macroscopically to determine egg fertility, and embryonic death time. The antimicrobial action of the essential oils was determined through quantitative analyses, considering aerobic mesophylls, filamentous fungi, yeasts, and total coliforms. Mortality was high in the treatments, especially in the treatment with essential oil from C. flexuosus. The highest hatchability was found in the treatment with QA. The treatments with singly or combined essential oils were more efficient in decreasing microbial count than QA. The essential oils from C. flexuosus and L. rotundifolia reduced the microbial load of fertile eggs of the free-range poultry evaluated.

SUMMARY Birds show poor utilization of phytic phosphorus in their diets because of the lack of endogenous enzymes to digest phosphorus and make it bioavailable. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate phytase supplementation in the diets of laying quails. Eighty quails were used in a completely randomized experimental design with five treatments and four replicates of four birds each. The treatments were as follows: 0.35% Pd; 0.20% Pd; 0.20% Pd + 500FTUs of phytase; 0.09% Pd; 0.09% Pd + 500 FTUs of phytase. The birds were housed in metallic batteries during a trial period of 21 days, for evaluation of egg production, egg weight, feed intake and feed conversion. After being collected, the eggs were sent to the nutrition laboratory of the department of zootechnics of the CEO/Udesc, where analyses of albumin, yolk and shell quality were performed. The results were subjected to analysis of variance, and the differences between the averages were compared using the Tukey test at 5% of significance. No differences (P> 0.05) were observed in terms of performance and egg quality parameters. We conclude that the inclusion of phytase in the diet of laying quails can be accomplished without compromising the performance and quality of the eggs. Additionally, 0.09% of 22 disponible phosphorus can be used to grant adequate performance for 21 days.

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the occurrence and factors associated to social, individual and programmatic vulnerability among older adults. Method: A household and cross-sectional survey conducted with 701 community-dwelling older adults. For evaluation of the individual component, we used the frailty phenotype; for the social component, the social vulnerability index was implemented; and for the programmatic component, the Index of access and use of health services. Descriptive and bivariate statistical analyzes and multinomial logistic regression were also carried out (p≤ 0.05). Results: It was verified that 15.7% of the older adults lived in areas of high social vulnerability, 31.8% were physically frail and had a moderate programmatic vulnerability score. Older people of a lower age, having lower education and income levels were more likely to live in areas of high or very high social vulnerability. The female gender and the high age groups increased the chances of the frailty condition. It was also observed that the older adults in the 70├ 80-year age group and having lower education were more likely to have medium programmatic vulnerability. Conclusion: The importance of primary care professionals to consider the multidimensional aspect of vulnerability in identifying older adults who need to be prioritized in health care is evidenced.

The paper states the results of obtaining Fe—Ag and Fe—Cu dense nanocomposites from composite powders consolidated by cold sintering in the high pressure gradient, as well as from nanosize powders of silver (Ag), iron (Fe) and copper (Cu). The results of mechanical tests conducted on Fe—Ag and Fe—Cu nanocomposites are provided. Nanocomposite powders were obtained by high energy attrition milling of carbonyl iron (Fe) micron scale powder and nanosize silver oxide powder (Ag2O), as well as iron and cuprous oxide (Cu2O) nanopowders. High resolution scanning electron microscopy was used to study the microstructure. Compacts featuring approximately 70 % of full density were annealed in hydrogen atmosphere to reduce silver and cuprous oxides to metals and to remove oxide layers from the surface of iron powder particles. This was followed by cold sintering — consolidation under high pressure at a room temperature. The data on specimen density dependence on pressure in the range of 0,25 —3,0 GPa were obtained. Densities were above 95 % of the full density for all nanocomposites, and close to 100 % of the full density under 3,0 GPa for Ag and Cu powders. High mechanical properties in three-point bending and compression were observed for all nanocomposites. It was found that mechanical properties of nanocomposites are substantially higher as compared with composites obtained from micron scale powders. Higher ductility was observed in Fe—Ag and Fe—Cu nanocomposites as compared with specimens obtained from nanostructured Fe.
Mapping the Flow of Forest Migration through the City under Climate Change
Authors: Han Qiyao , Keeffe Greg
Published: February 2019

Rapid climate change will create extreme problems for the biota of the planet. Much of it will have to migrate towards the poles at a rate far beyond normal speeds. In this context, the concept of assisted migration has been proposed to facilitate the migration of trees. Yet current practices of assisted migration focus on “where tree species should be in the future” and thus have many uncertainties. We suggest that more attention should be paid on the flow of forest migration. Therefore, this study develops a three-step methodology for mapping the flow of forest migration under climate change. Since the migration of trees depends on the activities of their seed dispersal agents, the accessibility of landscapes for dispersal agents is mainly considered in this study. The developed method combines a least-cost path model, a graph-based approach, and a circuit theory-based model. The least-cost path model is applied to map the movement of dispersal agents, based on which graph-based indices are used to evaluate the accessibility of landscapes for dispersal agents, which in turn is used as the basis for circuit theory-based modelling to map the flow of forest migration. The proposed method is demonstrated by a case study in the Greater Manchester area, UK. The resulting maps identify areas with high probability of climate-driven migration of trees.
Nagyvárosok a magyar területi politikában és területfejlesztésben a rendszerváltozástól napjainkig
Authors: Rechnitzer János
Published: February 2019

A magyar városfejlődés kérdései egyre több figyelmet kapnak az elmúlt időszakban, miközben a területi politika irányai és intézményi keretei folyamatosan változnak. A dolgozatban azt járjuk körbe, hogy milyen tartalmakat kapcsolhatunk a nagyvárosfogalomhoz a magyar területi politikában és a nagyvárosok helyzete miként változott a rendszerváltozás óta. A nagyvárosok a területi folyamatok alakítói, így nem lényegtelen, hogy e komplex funkciókkal rendelkező központok milyen súllyal és iránnyal jelentkeznek a fejlesztési elképzelésekben. A térbeli folyamatok alakítása nagy időtávot igényel. A dolgozat első része a nagyvárosfogalom rétegeit mutatja be, jellemzi a regionális központ, a nagyváros, a megyeszékhely és a megyei jogú város kategóriáit. A második rész a rendszerváltozás utáni időszak gyakran változó területi politikájában keresi e központok helyét, fejlesztési hangsúlyait, a pályaíveket, azok változását.

A rendszerváltozás utáni fejlesztési koncepciókban és területi politikában a nagyvárosok és köreik kiemelt és változatos szerepet kaptak. Megjelentek mint területi (regionális) igazgatási központok (1990–1994), a fejlesztési régiók fő- és alközpontjai (1998–2005), a növekedést generáló pólusok (2005–2008), egy elvetélt igazgatási decentralizációs kísérlet alanyai lettek (2006–2010), a megyéktől független fejlesztések központjaivá váltak (2012–2016), s napjainkra ismét a kiemelt fejlesztések térségi fókuszává váltak (Modern városok program, 2015–). A nagyvárosok számos általános fejlesztési cél mellett egyedi fejlesztési elképzelésekkel is rendelkeztek az elmúlt 30 évben. A központi és a helyi elképzeléseket több város jól összehangolta, így fejlesztésük dinamikus lett, másoknak viszont nem sikerült a harmonizáció, ami nem javította helyzetüket.

A Budapesttel szembeni ellenpólusrendszert a városhálózatban sem a rendszerváltozás előtt, sem azután nem lehetett a nagyvárosokból vagy azok hálózatából kialakítani. A főváros nagysága, népességkoncentrációja, intézményrendszere, gazdasági irányító szerepköre, településrendszere, a magyar közgondolkodásban betöltött szerepe, nemzetközi megítélése egyedi. Mindezt fokozza, hogy a magyar politikai intézményrendszer egyközpontú, felülről, ebből az egy centrumból vezényelt. A területi szintű decentralizáció – bár több kisebb kísérlet ismert – nem valósult meg Magyarországon. A centralizált közigazgatás és nemzeti fejlesztés, a különféle állami funkciók erős központosítása miatt a nagyvárosi kör ugyan számos térségi szervező funkciót alakított ki, ám ezek nem voltak képesek a „fővárosmítoszt” ellensúlyozni.

Resumo: Este trabalho tem como objetivo compartilhar a experiência conjunta de leitura da obra Infância berlinense: 1900, feita no grupo textual “O pensamento de Walter Benjamin e a psicanálise”, que se realiza quinzenalmente na Associação Psicanalítica de Porto Alegre, desde março de 2018. Além de expor algumas articulações teóricas feitas nos encontros entre o pensamento benjaminiano e a Psicanálise, esta escrita tenta contar sobre a experiência de leitura tida em grupo. Os principais pontos de trabalho percorridos no grupo são a temática da infância, das imagens, do sonho e da memória no pensamento de Benjamin, sendo esses tópicos relacionados com a teoria psicanalítica de Freud e Lacan, e neste trabalho são apresentadas algumas dessas articulações. Dentre elas, é trabalhada a relação das imagens da infância e da memória em Benjamin com a noção do infantil em psicanálise. Também são associados os limiares e as passagens narrados no texto benjaminiano com a ideia lacaniana do intervalo entre significantes e, por fim, a temática das imagens é aproximada à teoria psicanalítica a respeito dos sonhos.Palavras-chave: infância; infantil; imagem; Benjamin; psicanálise.Abstract: This work aims to share the collective experience of reading the work Berlin Childhood around 1900, carried out in the textual group “The thinking of Walter Benjamin and psychoanalysis”, held every two weeks in the Psychoanalytical Association of Porto Alegre, since March 2018. In addition to exposing some theoretical articulations between the Benjaminian thought and Psychoanalysis prepared in the meetings, this writing tries to communicate the experience of reading taken in a group. The main topics worked in the group are the thematics of childhood, images, dreams and memory in Benjamin’s thought, and these topics are related to the correspondent psychoanalytical theory of Freud and Lacan. This work tries to present some of these articulations held in the group meetings, and among them is the relation of the images of childhood and memory in Benjamin with the notion of the infantile in psychoanalysis. The subject of thresholds and passages narrated in the Benjaminian text is also enunciated with the Lacanian idea of the interval between signifiers and, finally, the thematic of the images is approximated to the psychoanalytical theory about the dreams.Keywords: childhood; infantile; Image; Benjamin; psychoanalysis.
