From service areas to empty transport corridors? The impact of border openings on service and retail facilities at Polish-Czech border crossings
Authors: Furmankiewicz Marek , Buryło Krzysztof , Dołzbłasz Sylwia
Published: July 2020

Long-term changes in the development of service establishments in the vicinity of the border crossing points on the Polish-Czech border are discussed in this paper. These changes are the result of the border being opened and subsequent economic integration. A series of panel studies, which took place in 1995, 2000 and 2016, analysed of the locations and types of service establishments located within a half kilometre of 18 Polish-Czech border crossings. Given the increasing ease of crossing the border and the maintenance of passport and customs controls, the number of service and retail establishments increased until 2000. After the abolition of passport control in 2007, this number has decreased at many border crossings, with the most significant decreases in financial, insurance-related and commercial facilities (small shops). Most crossings have become little more than transport corridors that offer no important service functions. The total number of cultural, recreational and tourism-related establishments, however, has increased, mainly at border crossings located in towns and villages. The most important changes in service developments at the Polish-Czech border are discussed, as well as the probable reasons for these changes. The results may prove useful for spatial planning in municipalities that are located on the borders of countries undergoing political and economic integration.
Searching for and Perception of Information by Consumers in the Light of the Sustainable Consumption Idea — On the Example of Food Markets
Authors: Gorynska-Goldmann Elzbieta , Gazdecki Michał
Published: July 2020

The aim of this paper is to present the sources of information about food, the cost of collecting the information and the perception of messages by consumers in the light of the sustainable food consumption idea. We used primary materials from a direct, personal survey which were later analyzed with the use of Berelson’s content analysis method. We found that a consumer shows low interest in sourcing the information about sustainable food consumption. The most credible, from the consumer’s point of view, information about food, consumption and the food market, comes from reports and scientific papers, as well as from the consumers’ families or friends. Gathering information is connected with devoting time which we spend on finding the right content. The information connected to environmental issues was the most distinctive for the respondents; other categories of information concerned the waste of food, shopping planning, the direction of changes, personal health issues and the influence of food products on one’s health, as well as consumption in connection with recommendations concerning health (among others, in the scope of nutrition, recommendations and specialistic advices). The knowledge of the most credible sources of the information about food consumption, the frequency of acquiring such knowledge, the costs of gathering information and the perception of messages should be reflected in properly chosen communication channels for the promotion of sustainable food consumption. In the research over sustainable food consumption we should focus more on our information needs. The network approach and the perspective of active engagement of consumers in the process of creating innovations in food products give us a new approach for the market analysis, popularization of the idea of sustainable food consumption and let us change some deeply rooted habits and behaviors of consumers. As a result of such engagement, consumers will be more willing to cooperate and trust one another, and thanks to the feeling of social effectiveness, they will be more interested in the development of the sustainable food consumption model and food policy.

Authors: Nowotarska-Romaniak Beata
Published: July 2020

Insurance companies are currently carrying out tasks related to building trust, image creation and giving distinctive features to intangible insurance services, which is associated with paying more attention to the packaging of the service than to the service itself. The packaging of the insurance service consists of people, the appearance of branches, the availability of insurance services and flexibility in customer service. For insurance companies, the knowledge of not only marketing practice, but also the knowledge about customer behaviours or factors affecting their loyalty is becoming important. The purpose of the article is to review the loyalty on the insurance services market in Poland and to examine the factors influencing it. The article discusses the methods of testing customer loyalty on the insurance services market. On the other hand, based on the results of the survey, factors affecting customer that may affect customer loyalty satisfaction are presented.
Activation Energy for the Concrete Maturity Model – Part 1: Compressive Strength Tests at Different Curing Temperatures
Authors: Nielsen Claus Vestergaard , Kaasgaard Martin
Published: July 2020

The article addresses the modelling of the maturity of concrete. The apparent activation energy is the backbone of the Arrhenius model, which is typically used to model the maturity of concrete. The maturity (or the equivalent age) is influenced by the curing temperature and it is applied when modelling the hydration process and the hardening of concrete for instance in order to forecast the early-age strength to determine the time for removal of formwork or the time for prestressing. Part 1 of the article describes the background for the maturity model and the test series carried out at the DTI concrete lab.

Laboratory tests at different curing temperatures (from 5°C to 60°C) are presented and the compressive strength results are modelled according to the original Freiesleben Hansen and Pedersen maturity model that has been applied in the field for many years. The tests include five different concretes, using three different cement types and the addition of fly ash. There are significant differences especially when considering the later-age strength modelling at either low temperatures or at high temperature curing.
Encapsulation Techniques and Test Methods of Evaluating the Bacteria-Based Self-Healing Efficiency of Concrete: A Literature Review
Authors: Roy Rahul , Rossi Emanuele , Silfwerbrand Johan , Jonkers Henk
Published: July 2020

Crack formation in concrete structures due to various load and non-load factors leading to degradation of service life is very common. Repair and maintenance operations are, therefore, necessary to prevent cracks propagating and reducing the service life of the structures. Accessibility to affected areas can, however, be difficult as the reconstruction and maintenance of concrete buildings are expensive in labour and capital. Autonomous healing by encapsulated bacteria-based self-healing agents is a possible solution. During this process, the bacteria are released from a broken capsule or triggered by water and oxygen access. However, its performance and reliability depend on continuous water supply, protection against the harsh environment, and densification of the cementitious matrix for the bacteria to act. There are vast methods of encapsulating bacteria and the most common carriers used are: encapsulation in polymeric materials, lightweight aggregates, cementitious materials, special minerals, nanomaterials, and waste-derived biomass. Self-healing efficiency of these encapsulated technologies can be assessed through many experimental methodologies according to the literature. These experimental evaluations are performed in terms of quantification of crackhealing, recovery of durability and mechanical properties (macro-level test) and characterization of precipitated crystals by healing agent (micro-level test). Until now, quantification of crack-healing by light microscopy revealed maximum crack width of 1.80mm healed. All research methods available for assesing self-healing efficiency of bacteria-based healing agents are worth reviewing in order to include a coherent, if not standardized framework testing system and a comparative evaluation for a novel incorporated bacteria-based healing agent.
Activation Energy for the Concrete Maturity Model – Part 2: New Model for Temperature Dependent Ea
Authors: Nielsen Claus Vestergaard
Published: July 2020

The article addresses the modelling of the maturity of concrete. The apparent activation energy is the backbone of the Arrhenius model, which is typically used to model the maturity of concrete. The maturity (or the equivalent age) is influenced by the curing temperature and it is applied when modelling the hydration process and the hardening of concrete for instance in order to forecast the early-age strength to determine the time for removal of formwork or the time for prestressing. Part 1 of the article describes the background for the maturity model and the tests carried out as part of a large test programme at the DTI concrete lab. The tests were applying iso-thermal curing temperatures from 5°C to 60°C for various durations before measuring the compressive strength.

Part 2 of the article presents a model for the activation energy based on these test results. An alternative formulation of the maturity model is suggested and compared with other similar concrete tests found in the literature for early-age strengths. The alternative model is shown to give better accuracy when modelling the early-age strengths of concrete. The tests include five different concretes, using three different cement types and the addition of fly ash.

Published: July 2020

Background and Purpose: Due to constant social, technological and economic change, social actor, interacting with environment, is constantly faced with the need to acquire new knowledge and develop different competences – field of statistics included. The latter, with development of statistical literacy, enables one to reflectively analyse environment and respond to its changes. The aim of this paper is to determine response effectiveness of a better statistically literate social actor to environmental changes from perspective of different generations in Slovenia.

Design/Methodology/Approach: Empirical data was collected through a survey questionnaire, processed and analysed using chosen descriptive and inferential statistical methods. 1239 respondents of all three Slovenian generations participated. Two research questions were asked, one relating to the whole sample and the other to three subsamples according to age groups and generations.

Results: Based on whole sample of all three generations, it can be concluded that statistical literacy influences responsiveness of social actor to environmental changes. Survey results show that better statistically literate social actors are more completely and actively involved in working environment, personal and social life and respond to environmental changes more effectively.

Conclusion: More attention, on urgency to develop statistical literacy individually in professional and everyday life, should be put on raising awareness of statistical knowledge importance to cope with environmental changes and improving supply and accessibility of formal and informal forms of statistical education for all generations. Research results will also contribute to better planning and implementation of statistics education at the level of educational institutions and teachers of all three generations.

Published: July 2020

Physiological intracranial calcifications have an increasing prevalence with the age and can be found in both children and in adults. These calcifications are basically asymptomatic and their presence can only be noticed through neuro-imaging. The aim of the paper was to evaluate physiological intracranial calcifications in children using computed tomography, in our conditions. The study was designed as a retrospective, observational, nonrandomized clinical study. It was conducted at the Department of Radiology, Clinical Center Kragujevac, Serbia. The study included all the patients scanned by CT from 1st October, 2008. to 30th September, 2018.. The criteria for the inclusion were: the patients aged up to 18 years who underwent a non-contrast computed tomography in the observed period, with diagnosed intracranial calcifications that do not have pathological etiology. Our study included 420 patients. Out of them, 213 (50.7%) were boys and 207 (49.3%) were girls. The mean age was 12.47. We divided the patients into two age categories: the first one included the patients aged 1 to 10 years and the other one included the patients aged 11 to 18 years. Our study has demonstrated that physiological intracranial calcifications are the most frequent in habenula (28.1%), followed by the pineal gland (22.6%) and choroid plexus (18.8%). There is a small number of studies with the subject of physiological intracranial calcification distribution, especially in children. It is important to know in which locations we can expect physiological intracranial calcifications, as well as the age in which they become detectable by imaging, in order not to mix them with hemorrhages, pathological tumor or metabolic mineralization.

Use of Wastes of the Livestock Industry as a Possibility for Increasing the Efficiency of AIC and Replenishing the Energy Balance
Authors: Honcharuk Inna
Published: July 2020

There are several reasons for the economic and social necessity in forming and developing the biofuels market of Ukraine, starting with energy security considerations, diversification of national production, support of innovations and ending with economic and social efficiency of biofuels market development on the basis of high motivation for the agrarian sector growth, positive social bias towards rural population growth and environmental security through renewable energy. The immediate prospect of energy autonomy for agro-industrial production should be based on efficient production and use of biomass. At present, biomass is the fourth largest fuel in the world, producing about 2 billion tonnes of conventional fuels per year, which is about 14% of the world’s total primary energy consumption. In some countries, this figure is even higher, but in Ukraine it still does not exceed 3%. This will help Ukraine reduce its dependence on energy imports, halt its transformation into a raw material appendage, and enable processing of such a large-scale resource while obtaining hundreds of thousands of jobs, income for the citizens and for the state budget. At this stage of state development, biofuel production is one of the determining catalysts for new global trends in Ukraine’s agro-industrial complex that will contribute to its sustainable development.

Published: July 2020

A competência é um fenômeno que vêm ganhando espaço como forma de gerir nas organizações, principalmente alinhada à gestão de pessoas. Assim, considerada a amplitude da competência em um contexto organizacional são apresentadas tipologias para o fenômeno, dentre as quais está à competência social. Nessa direção, reconhecido o pressuposto de que o profissional de secretariado tem competências para atuar como um gestor nas organizações, este estudo tem como objetivo verificar, em linhas teóricas, de que modo às competências sociais estão associadas ao contexto das competências secretariais. Para alcançar tal propósito, desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa descritiva, de abordagem qualitativa e bibliográfica/documental quanto à estratégia. Observa-se que essa última escolha se materializa nas técnicas de coleta de dados. Os resultados apontaram que a profissão secretarial transmutou, agregando, com o passar dos anos, mais funções e valores, o que fez com que as atividades tecnicistas do passado se transformassem em competências técnicas e comportamentais. Essas últimas, conforme análise deste estudo alinham-se às concepções da competência social. Nessa direção propõe-se ao final desta reflexão, que seja inserido ao contexto secretarial, conexa às competências comportamentais, as competências sociais.

Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was declared as global pandemic and caused devastating crisis in society. Despite of the growing pandemic, high quality medical services toward gynaecologic oncology patients must continue without overlooking the safety of medical staffs. Reducing risk is crucial and achieved by limiting high risk situations. The decision to perform or postpone surgery should be made based on the type and stage of the disease, medical condition of the patient, area census of COVID-19 cases, COVID-associated risks, and available logistic support including adjuvant treatment services. There are several recommendation for gynaecology cancer treatment published by several countries. However, those guidelines cannot be applied to every country across the globe because of the different situations of COVID-19 therefore we proposed guidelines for Indonesia. Surgical management for confiermed COVID-19 case should be postponed for at least 15 days for nonemergency cases. Surgery must be performed immediately for emergency cases such as Haemorrhage with unstable vital status refractory to transfusion, viscus perforation, signs of bowel obstruction refractory to conservative treatment, closed loop bowel or large bowel obstruction, hydatiform mole for live saving procedure.  Keywords: COVID-19, gynaecology cancer, surgical management

Published: July 2020

Contraception is a very important issue in women with epilepsy, since very broad questions taken in applying it to prevent unplanned pregnancy. The choice of contraceptive methods must be related to how the mechanism of action of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), the contraceptive itself, and both interactions. Hormonal contraception can induce metabolism of AEDs and lead to increasing of seizure frequency, and in the other hand AEDs may decrease the blood levels of hormonal contraception. Therefore, physician must consider the type of contraception being used before prescribing AEDs. Additionally, they should emphasize the interaction between them in counseling, to assure that women with epilepsy have time to decide which type will be best use for them. This challenging matter needs better recommendation for practice, both neurologist and gynecologist.Keywords: antiepileptic drug, contraception, women with epilepsy

Also, head teachers should continue to encourage teachers to make use of non-projected visual to arouse the interest and gain the attentions of the learners in order to aid the teachers� explanations and make learning of subject matter understandable to learners during teaching and learning process. Furthermore, teachers should also make use of simulation and games to enhance effective learners� performance in learning in order to realize effective management of elementary schools� education in Nigeria. ��Keywords: instructional media, motivation, projected media, elementary education, organising �
HOW TO DEVELOP THE STANDARDIZED INSTRUMENTS OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: A QUALITATIVE-DESCRIPTIVE APPROACH
Authors: Mardiana Tria , Indiati Indiati
Published: July 2020

It was rarely the academicians, and practitioners knew how to make the standardized instruments to analyze the student's multiple intelligences. The purpose of this study was to describe the development of a standardized instrument of multiple intelligences for children in elementary school. The research method used was descriptive qualitative. In qualitative research, the research instrument was the researcher himself. The research instrument was not external or objective, but internal or subjective, namely the researcher himself without using tests, questionnaires, or experiments. Therefore the direct presence of researchers was a necessity in qualitative research. The data collection techniques used were observation and documentation. The results obtained in this study were to identify multiple intelligences in 7-12 years old children, we could use standardized instruments based on the classification of children's multiple intelligences. To analyze the development of multiple intelligences of 7-12 years old children, we could use the major theory of Gardner and Armstrong. The development of standard instruments used to measure multiple intelligences of 7-12 years old children, we could use 13 steps of Jamaris theory. This development step unravels the theory, determines the basis, then turns it into a standardized instrument that can be used to measure the type of multiple intelligences in 7-12 years old children. How to use the standardized instruments and its recommendations for teachers are discussed.Keywords:multiple intelligences; standardized instrument; development

THE EFFECT OF BASIL (Ocimum basilicum) LEAVES EXTRACT AS BIOLARVACIDE AGAINST Aedes aegypti LARVAE
Authors: Christella Anastasia Christella , Makimian Robby , Dewi Rita
Published: July 2020

Introduction: Indonesia as a tropical country is vulnerable to mosquito-borne diseases like dengue fever, chikungunya, and zika by Aedes aegypti mosquito. Various efforts have been made to eradicate mosquitoes, one of which is by fogging. But this method only eradicates adult mosquitoes and its smoke can also have a bad impact for human health. Therefore, a variety of herbal plants began to be used as biolarvacide, including basil plants (Ocimum basilicum).

Methods: This is an experimental research by comparing the lethal effect between concentration and time. In this experiment there were 10 larvas used for each concentration, which were 0,4%, 0,7%, 1,0%, 1,5%, and 2,0%. The lethal effect arising in larval groups is observed every 1 hour in the first 6 hours, and subsequently every 3 hours until 24 hours after exposure.

Results: With one way ANOVA test, the result is p=0,012 (p<0,05) this shows that there is a significance difference between the different concentrations and the lethal effect of A.aegypti larvae. With Friedman test, the result is p=0,000 (p<0,05), this shows that there is a significance difference between the different time of exposure of the extract and the lethal effect of A.aegypti larvae.

Conclusion: Leaves extract of O.basilicum has lethal effect as biolarvacide against A.aegypti larvae. The higher concentration and the longer time of exposure to O.basilicum extract, increases the lethal effect of A.aegypti larvae.

Authors: Ospina Benavides Andersson Julián
Published: July 2020

Este artículo expone una reflexión desde Terapia Ocupacional, situada en el momento de inflexión histórica que atraviesa Colombia tras la firma del Acuerdo de Paz entre el Gobierno Nacional y las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia – Ejército del Pueblo (FARC-EP). A partir del documento Acuerdo Final para la Terminación del Conflicto y la Construcción de una Paz Estable y Duradera, se busca identificar espacios de incidencia y acción profesional que amplíen los roles tradicionales de la profesión, atendiendo a la nueva institucionalidad que de este se deriva. Se identifican y analizan seis subpuntos del Acuerdo, en los cuales la participación de terapeutas ocupacionales se considera pertinente. Este análisis se articula con reflexiones de otras colegas sobre Terapia Ocupacional en contextos de conflicto armado y posacuerdo de paz, considerando el escenario actual como una oportunidad para abrir nuevos campos de ejercicio y transferir el acumulado teórico y la experiencia de la profesión a una necesidad del país, en pro del interés colectivo.

En el marco de la firma del Acuerdo de Paz entre el Gobierno colombiano y las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia – Ejército del Pueblo (FARC-EP), la Universidad del Valle implementó un programa que promueve el desarrollo de prácticas profesionales. Esto permitió a docentes y estudiantes de Terapia Ocupacional y Fonoaudiología elaborar una propuesta que se desarrolló en la ciudad de Cali con la población en proceso de reincorporación y sus familias, como parte del convenio entre la Universidad y la Agencia para la Reincorporación y la Normalización, durante el primer semestre del 2018. La experiencia tuvo el propósito de favorecer los procesos de lectura y escritura en los participantes, promoviendo su participación social y la construcción de ciudadanía. La propuesta privilegió un enfoque de construcción conjunta. Participaron diez personas adultas y seis infantes. Se realizaron cinco encuentros, en los cuales se identificaron necesidades e intereses relacionados con leer y escribir, y se construyeron de manera conjunta actividades de promoción de la lectura y la escritura a través de la poesía, el cuento y el teatro. La propuesta posibilitó un ejercicio de reconocimiento y resignificación mutua que permite la construcción de ciudadanía y de profesionales como sujetos políticos.

La firma del Acuerdo de Paz entre el Gobierno Nacional y las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia Ejército del Pueblo (FARC-EP) abrió una ventana de oportunidad para contribuir en la transformación de las condiciones de vida y salud de las comunidades rurales. Este artículo presenta la experiencia de un grupo de terapeutas ocupacionales quienes, como parte de un proyecto de extensión universitaria, se propusieron aportar al fortalecimiento de las capacidades comunitarias para la atención primaria en salud de comunidades y organizaciones sociales del municipio de La Macarena (Meta, Colombia). La sistematización, como camino metodológico, hizo posible reconstruir la experiencia vivida en el territorio, en diálogo con la apuesta política del proyecto. Las reflexiones emergentes alrededor de la vida cotidiana y del lugar de la Terapia Ocupacional comunitaria mostraron desafíos y aprendizajes sobre el tiempo, el espacio y las identidades de la profesión en este campo. Los resultados de la puesta en acción de estrategias desde Terapia Ocupacional reafirman el compromiso ético para aportar en la disminución de las inequidades sociales.
Flooded by Success: On the Role of Electrode Wettability in CO2 Electrolyzers That Generate Liquid Products

Economic operation of carbon dioxide (CO2) electrolyzers generating liquid products will likely require high reactant conversions and product concentrations, conditions anticipated to challenge existing gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs). Notably, electrode wettability will increase as lower surface tension products (e.g., formic acid, alcohols) are introduced into electrolyte streams potentially leading to flooding. To understand the hydraulically stable operating envelopes in mixed aqueous-organic liquid domains, we connect intrinsic electrode wettability descriptors to operating parameters such as electrolyte flow rate and current. We first measure contact angles of water-organic dilutions on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and graphite surfaces as planar analogues for GDE components. We then use material balances around the reactive gas-liquid interface to calculate product mass fractions as functions of water sweep rate and current. Product composition maps visualize the extent to which changes in cell performance influence capillary pressure, a determinant of GDE saturation. Analyses suggest that formic acid mixtures pose little risk for GDE flooding across a wide range of conditions, but effluents enriched with less than 30% alcohol by mass may cause flooding. This study reveals opportunities to integrate microstructural features and oleophobic surface treatments into GDEs to repel aqueous-organic mixtures and expand the window of stable operating conditions.
Sulfonamide Directivity Enables Ni-Catalyzed 1,2-Diarylation of Diverse Alkenyl Amines

Published: July 2020

1,2-Diarylation of alkenyl sulfonamides with aryl iodides and aryl boronic esters under nickel catalysis is reported. The developed method tolerates coupling partners with disparate electronic properties and substitution patterns. 1,2- and 1,1-Disubstituted alkenes, as well as alkenes distal from the directing group, are all accommodated. Control experiments are consistent with a N–Ni coordination mode of the directing group, which stands in contrast to earlier reports on amide-directed 1,2-diarylation that involve carbonyl coordination. The synthetic utility of the method arises from the dual function of the sulfonamide as both a directing group and masked amine nucleophile. This is highlighted by various product diversifications where complex amine compounds are synthesized in a two-step sequence of N-functionalization and deprotection of the sulfonyl group.
Stabilizing Tin Anodes in Sodium-Ion Batteries by Alloying with Silicon

Published: July 2020

Group(IV) of the periodic table is a promising column with respect to high capacity anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Unlike carbon that relies on interlayer defects, pores, and intercalation to store sodium, its heavier cousins, silicon, germanium, and tin, form binary alloys with sodium. Alloying does lead to the formation of high capacity compounds but they are, however, susceptible to large volumetric changes upon expansion that results in pulverization of the electrodes and poor cycling stability. Silicon and tin are particularly intriguing due to their high theoretical reversible capacities of 954 mAh/g (NaSi) and 847 mAh/g (Na15Sn4), respectively, but suffer from poor practical capacity and very short lifetimes, respectively. In order to buffer the detrimental effects of volume expansion and contraction, nanoscale multilayer anodes comprising silicon and tin films were prepared and compared with uniform films composed of atomically mixed silicon and tin, as well as elemental silicon and tin films. The results reveal that the high capacity fade for elemental Sn is associated with detrimental anodic (desodiation) reactions at a high cutoff voltage with a threshold defined as ~0.8 VNa. Binary mixtures of Si and Sn were tested in a number of different architectures, including multilayer films and co-sputtered films with varying volume ratios of both elements. All mixed films showed improved capacity retention compared to the performance of anodes comprising only elemental Sn. A multilayer structure composed of 3 nm-thick silicon and tin layers showed the highest Coulombic efficiency and retained 97% of its initial capacity after 100 cycles, which is vastly improved compared to 7% retention observed for the elemental Sn film. The role of the Si interlayers appears to be one of acting as a buffer during cycling to help preserve Sn particles within the thin Sn interlayers. The alloying element, Si, plays two roles - it stabilizes grain growth/pulverization and also alters the surface chemistry of the anodes, thus affecting the formation of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI).
