Efecto del consumo de soja en relación con los síntomas de la menopausia
Authors: Pérez-Rovira Andrea , Mach Núria
Published: November 2016

La menopausia se caracteriza por el cese de la función ovárica y la disminución hormonal de estrógenos. Estos cambios conllevan una serie de trastornos que pueden afectar a la vida de la mujer. La medicina, debido a la influencia de la industria farmacéutica, tiende a actuar de forma agresiva, y como consecuencia tenemos una población polimedicada. Los médicos suelen recetar tratamientos, como la terapia hormonal sustitutiva (THS), que ayuda a controlar estos síntomas. No obstante, recientemente varios estudios han demostrado efectos adversos asociados a la THS. Actualmente se conoce la influencia de la dieta en muchas de las enfermedades que afectan a la población de los países occidentales. Así, sla soja dietética y algunos suplementos de isoflavonas se han propuesto como alternativas para paliar los síntomas de la menopausia. Varios estudios indican que se puede utilizar las isoflavonas, de gran potencia estrogénica, como alternativa a la THS por su capacidad de reducir los síntomas menopáusicos. No obstante, el conocimiento sobre los efectos de la ingesta de isoflavonas en los síntomas de la menopausia es escaso y las publicaciones científicas recientes muestran resultados dispares. Para esclarecer esta información, el objetivo de esta revisión es describir algunos de los mecanismos mediante los cuales ejercen su acción las isoflavonas, y sus acciones beneficiosas, postulando que, como suplementos alimentarios, se podría utilizarlos como tratamiento complementario para algunos de los síntomas de la menopausia, lo que permitiría disminuir las dosis de THS.

Published: November 2016

Objective: To evaluate eating disorders risk behaviors and unhealthy weight control practices among adolescents who consider themselves as vegetarians and those who are omnivorous.Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 12 technical schools in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. The sample included 1167 adolescents (51% female), aged 14 to 19 (mean age, 16). Adolescents stated whether they  were currently vegetarian, and the sample was dichotomized as vegetarian and non-vegetarian. The two groups were compared as regards weight status, eating disorder risk behavior, unhealthy weight control methods and the perception of healthy eating.Results: About 4% of the sample was currently vegetarian, most of them female (70.8%), and females were 2.89 times more likely to be vegetarian than males. No relationship was found between the vegetarian status and unhealthy weight control behavior; however the vegetarian group considered their diet to be healthier than the non-vegetarian group (P=.04).Conclusions: The frequency of vegetarianism, as well the frequency of eating disorder risk behaviors had no association in this adolescent sample from São Paulo, Brazil.

Introducción: La web del PAFES permite a los usuarios evaluar el nivel de adhesión a la dieta mediterránea y el nivel de actividad física (AF) mediante dos cuestionarios interactivos: el cuestionario de dieta mediterránea adaptado del estudio “Prevención con dieta mediterránea” (Predimed) y la versión abreviada del Cuestionario Internacional de Actividad Física (IPAQ).Material y métodos: Se realizó un análisis descriptivo de los resultados obtenidos de ambos cuestionarios durante el periodo 2009-2010.Resultados: De los 1.376 cuestionarios analizados sobre adhesión a la dieta mediterránea, el 12,5% de los usuarios tiene un cumplimiento alto; el 67,2%, moderado y el 20,3%, bajo. El 95,8% utiliza aceite de oliva como principal grasa de adición, el 82,2 y el 78,4% declaran un consumo bajo de mantequilla y derivados y de bebidas azucaradas respectivamente, y el 70,9% refiere un consumo adecuado de verduras. Como aspectos negativos, el 82,3% declara un consumo bajo de legumbres; el 71,6%, un consumo alto de carne roja, y el 67,6 y el 25% un consumo bajo de fruta y frutos secos respectivamente. Respecto a la AF, de los 1.221 cuestionarios analizados, el 79,4% de la población cumple con las recomendaciones de AF saludable, el 36,5% en un nivel alto y el 42,9% en un nivel moderado.Conclusiones: Los cuestionarios vía web pueden ser una herramienta útil en la promoción y la difusión de ambos hábitos saludables. Como propuesta de mejora, se plantea la inclusión de variables sociodemográficas para conocer el perfil de los usuarios que responden a los cuestionarios.
Flavonoides como agentes quimiopreventivos y terapéuticos contra el cáncer de pulmón
Authors: Cabrera Albert , Mach Núria
Published: November 2016

El objetivo de la presente revisión es estudiar la relación entre los flavonoides y el cáncer de pulmón, postulando que su consumo habitual en la dieta occidental podría resultar beneficioso para proteger a los pacientes contra el cáncer de pulmón. Se realizó una extensa búsqueda de publicaciones científicas recientes en las siguientes bases de datos electrónicas especializadas: PubMed central (PMC)-NCBI, Elsevier Journal, SciELO España, Scirus y Science Direct, incluyendo estudios en células, animales y humanos sobre el efecto de los flavonoides en la prevención y el desarrollo de cáncer de pulmón. Pese a que los estudios in vitro y en modelos animales muestran la capacidad potencial de los flavonoides para actuar contra diferentes tipos de cáncer, y en especial contra el riesgo de padecer cáncer de pulmón, la presencia de datos contradictorios en los estudios epidemiológicos y la falta de estudios clínicos en humanos actualmente impiden realizar recomendaciones dietéticas basadas en la evidencia científica para los pacientes con cáncer de pulmón. Así, los autores del presente artículo recomiendan seguir los consejos de las guías de alimentación saludable, las cuales promocionan el consumo de alimentos ricos en flavonoides y reflejan el conocimiento necesario para tratar a los pacientes con cáncer de pulmón.Erratum in: Rev Esp Nutr Hum Diet. 2013;17(2):91-92Link: http://www.renhyd.org/index.php/renhyd/article/view/6/17

Reviewing judicial precedent No. 74.2.12-597 of general board of Iran’s supreme court
Authors: Dehghan Parviz
Published: November 2016

According to legal regulations, endorsers of a commercial document hold severally liable against its holder; and in this regard the holder too has some duties to perform. Among these duties, after the demand and protest for non-payment in legal time is litigation within a certain legal time. There are different opinions regarding inclusion of the guarantors in article 286 of Iran’s trade law and judicial procedures are also divided and vary, and according to some rulings of some branches of Iran’s Supreme Court, the guarantor is included in the subject of article 286 while some of the branches consider it outside of the article 286 subject. This difference resulted in the issuance of judicial precedent no. 597 on 1995 May 2nd which rules on the exclusion of the guarantor in the subject of article 286 inclusion. In this paper, along with reviewing the ruling, the guarantor inclusion-exclusion cases in the subject and ruling of article 286 of the Iran’s trade law is determined.

Published: November 2016

It is required for teachers to become individuals who love children, carry out their jobs with job satisfaction in order to raise individuals who are in tune with the times, effective, creative and produce suitable solutions to the challenges in the face of rapid changes that are experienced. In this research, within the scope of which the relation between social studies and primary school teachers' levels of liking of children and their job satisfaction is analyzed, The research is a descriptive study in comparative survey methods. In the research, it has been analyzed whether a statistically significant relation between social studies teachers' levels of liking of children and their job satisfaction exists or not, in terms of diverse variable. The study group of the research consists of totally 117 teachers, 57 of whom perform as social studies teachers and 60 as primary school teacher. Research data has been gathered by applying the "Barnett Liking of Children Scale" and "Job Satisfaction Scale" to the teachers participated in the research. In the analysis of data, Kruskal-Wallis H Test for independent samples, Mann-Whitney U Test for independent samples, simple correlation, Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk normality tests have been used. In consequence of the research, any significant difference has not been found between teachers' levels of loving children and their ages and job seniorities. It has been determined that female teachers' levels of loving children are higher as compared to that of male teachers and primary school teachers have a stronger liking for children than social studies teachers. The result that their job satisfaction does not vary according to the teachers' age, seniority and field of study and according to gender, female teachers have experienced much job satisfaction than the male ones has been reached.

Authors: Zhu Yu‐Kun , Yang Ming‐Hui , Wu Liang , Sun Yun , Sun Xiao‐Wei
Published: November 2016

A practical millimeter-wave (mmw) holographic imaging system with tunable intermediate frequency (IF) attenuator has been developed. It can be used for the detection of concealed weapons at security checkpoints, especially the airport. The system is utilized to scan the passenger and detect the weapons hidden in the clothes. To reconstruct the three dimensions (3-D) image, a holographic mmw imaging algorithm based on aperture synthesis and back scattering is presented. The system is active and works at 28–33 GHz. Tunable IF attenuator is applied to compensate the intensity and phase differences between multi-channels and multi-frequencies.
The Analysis of Parametric Sensitivity Based on Designing and Optimization of a New Microwave Heating System
Authors: Chen Hua , Zhang Jin , Fan Zebin , Peng Jinhui , Ju Shaohua
Published: November 2016

Microwave-assisted heating technology has become a popular alternative to conventional heating technologies because of its many advantages. However, the matching performance of microwave heating system is of particular concern because it provides an important index of the utilization efficiency of microwave energy. In this work, a new microwave heating system is designed by the theory of optical resonator in first. Then the comprehensive analysis of the mutual coupling of high sensitive geometrical and material parameters were investigated based on this new microwave heating system at 2.45 GHz. It is demonstrated that the thickness of materials dramatically influences microwave energy absorption efficiency and should be carefully considered and perhaps given priority. Moreover, it is shown that matching performance is the best when the titanium concentrates thickness at about 0.075 m.
Producing Shared Attention/Awareness in High School Tutoring
Authors: Pirini Jesse
Published: November 2016

During the activities of everyday life social actors always produce multiple simultaneous higher level actions. These necessarily operate at different levels of attention and awareness. Modal density is a methodological tool that can be used to analyse the attention/awareness of social actors in relation to higher level actions they produce, positioning actions in the foreground, midground and background of attention. Using modal density to analyse an opening and a closing in high school tutoring sessions, I show social actors transitioning into and out of producing the same higher level actions at the foreground of their attention/awareness. Through this analysis I identify two potentially unique aspects of one-to-one tutoring. Firstly I show one way that a tutor helps a student take on the practices of being a good student, and secondly I show the influence that students have over tutoring. I argue that movements into and out of a shared focus of attention are potentially useful sites for analysis of social interaction.

“Every Teacher, a Caring Educator”: A Multimodal Discourse Analysis of a Teacher Recruitment Video in Singapore
Authors: Jessie Ng Wan Qing , Peter Teo Chin Soon
Published: November 2016

Videos are increasingly being used by organizations and corporations all over the world, both private and public, as an effective mode of communication to purvey their goods and services. One such organization is Singapore’s Ministry of Education (MOE), which has produced a series of video advertisements aimed at teacher recruitment. As official discourses, they represent one channel through which the MOE constructs and articulates its ideals and expectations of the teaching profession in Singapore. In recent years, the focus of the video advertisements has been on the “caring teacher.” This study aims to uncover the ideologies surrounding the construction of the caring teacher by investigating how teacher identity and agency are articulated through a teacher recruitment video.

Cross-Cultural Perspective: An Attempt at Bimodal Reflection
Authors: Girunyan Gayane
Published: November 2016

In the multilingual and multicultural world, what is communicated is not restricted to informative content, or even figurative language but involves aspects of cultural identity; connotations and complex images, to interpret which creative effort and a cross-cultural perspective are required. The phraseological layer of any language is illustrative of such cases. As for the cross-cultural perspective, such factors as openness, reserving strategy, and recognition of paradox are decisive along with shared cultural codes, awareness of the differences between traditions, and motivation to know them. Moreover, as the cognitive and stylistic analysis of such linguistic data in English and Armenian shows, the cross-cultural perspective not only highlights the phenomena in the shared semiotic space but also enables reflection on one’s own background and identity. In particular, it becomes obvious that the evaluative elements arising from the complex (and sometimes paradoxical) associations between extensive conceptual domains resound with a new force, or could be succinctly explained when viewed against another language and/or medium. The association-based installations presented in the paper as visualizations of the states “Between Thought and Image” are meant to suggest that too
Multimodal Humor in Plenary Lectures in English and in Spanish
Authors: Fortanet-Gómez Inmaculada , Ruiz-Madrid Noelia
Published: November 2016

Humor is present in most instances of human to human interaction and has often been studied by discourse analysis (Long and Graesser 2009). These studies have taken several perspectives but have often ignored the multimodal aspect of humor even more if the genres selected have been in oral academic discourse. In this paper we focus on a genre that has rarely been studied, the conference plenary lecture. Taking as a theoretical model Multimodal Discourse Analysis (MDA) we look at the semiotic resources employed by two senior researchers: one Spanish, Dr. Jose Manuel Blecua and one British, Dr David Crystal. They were plenary speakers in two different conferences. In their speeches Dr. Blecua dealt with Spanish as a Foreign language and Dr. Crystal with English as a Foreign language. Although there does not seem to have been any point of contact between them, their lectures show a number of similarities especially with regard to the semiotic resources they use in order to produce humor.
Drei außergewöhnliche spätwikingerzeitliche Schwertfunde aus Skandinavien
Authors: Mattes Julia
Published: November 2016

Drei ungewöhnliche wikingerzeitliche Schwerter von seltener Morphologie wurden in Skandinavien entdeckt: Im Jahre 1968 fand man in einem Frauengrab in Finnland zwei Schwerter. Eine dieser zwei Waffen ist so ausgefallen, dass sie keinem bislang bekannten Typus entspricht und bis heute einzigartig ist. Erst nach einer norwegischen Ausgrabung 2011 bekam das Schwert aus Finnland ein verwandtes Exemplar, welches sich ebenfalls in seiner Art ungewöhnlich präsentiert. Nicht nur die Artefakte werfen Fragen über ihre einstige Verwendung auf. Auch die jeweiligen Grabbeigaben geben Anlass zur Diskussion über den sozialen Status der Bestatteten und deren mögliche kriegerische Aktivitäten. In einem Fall handelt es sich evtl. um eine Kriegerin respektive sogar den Teilnehmer eines Raub- oder Kriegszugs nach England. Darüber hinaus spiegeln die Schwerter in einzigartiger Weise die Übergangszeit vom Heiden- zum Christentum im 11. Jh.
Pet cats at the Early Roman Red Sea port of Berenike,
Egypt
Authors: Osypińska Marta
Published: November 2016

The burial of animals is attested in Egypt from the pre-Dynastic period through to
Roman times. This phenomenon is observed across different animal species and involves
varied funerary practices, although mummification is the most significant. Against
this background, a series of burials of small animals, under excavation since 2011 at
Berenike, suggests a unique example of pet-keeping rather than the religious or
magical deposits found in the Nile Valley.

For this issue of New Book Chronicle, we don lifejackets and head out on, and under, the high seas to review recent volumes on aspects of maritime and underwater archaeology. Along the way are tales of pirates and the odd Sherman tank, but we set sail withSite formation processes of submerged shipwrecks, edited byMatthew Keith. The Introduction, by Oxley and Keith, outlines the development of site formation theory in maritime archaeology, and flags the foundational work of Keith Muckelroy, as summarised through his flow diagram of the sequence of cultural and environmental processes at work between a wrecking event and archaeological investigation. This model features strongly not only in the following chapters, but in every one of the volumes considered below.
The new antiquarianism?
Authors: Barrett John C.
Published: November 2016

Christopher Witmore (2014: 215) recently observed that “things go on perturbing one another when humans cease to be part of the picture. A former house may be transformed through relations with bacteria, hedgehogs, water, compaction”; and if the materials that archaeologists confront are material memories (cf. Olivier 2011) from which a past is to be recalled in the future, then

The kind of memory that things hold often tells us little of whether materials strewn across an abandonment level resulted from the reuse of a structure as a sheepfold, a series of exceptional snow storms, the collapse of a roof made of olive wood after many years of exposure to the weather (rapports between microbes, fungi, water and wood), the cumulative labors of generations of badgers, children playing a game in a ruin, or the probing roots of oak trees(Witmore 2014: 215).

In other words, the things that archaeologists confront bear the memories of their own formation without the necessity of a human presence, and the traditional and often exclusive priority given to a human agency in the making of those things and in giving them meaning is simply misplaced. Things get on “just fine” without the benefit of human intervention and interpretation (Witmore 2014: 217). Should archaeology therefore allow that it is not a discipline concerned with excavating the indications of the various past human labours that once acted upon things, and should it eschew the demand to “look beyond the pot, the awl or a stone enclosure for explanations concerning the reasons for their existence” (Witmore 2014: 204)? Consequently, is archaeology now a matter of following the things themselves to wherever they might lead—what Witmore characterises as the New Materialisms—and if so, are we now to practise archaeology “not as the study of the human past through its material remains, but as the discipline of things” (Witmore 2014: 203)?
Pancreatic α-cell hyperplasia and hyperglucagonemia due to a glucagon receptor splice mutation

Published: November 2016

Glucagon stimulates hepatic glucose production by activating specific glucagon receptors in the liver, which in turn increase hepatic glycogenolysis as well as gluconeogenesis and ureagenesis from amino acids. Conversely, glucagon secretion is regulated by concentrations of glucose and amino acids. Disruption of glucagon signaling in rodents results in grossly elevated circulating glucagon levels but no hypoglycemia. Here, we describe a patient carrying a homozygous G to A substitution in the invariant AG dinucleotide found in a 3′ mRNA splice junction of the glucagon receptor gene. Loss of the splice site acceptor consensus sequence results in the deletion of 70 nucleotides encoded by exon 9, which introduces a frame shift and an early termination signal in the receptor mRNA sequence. The mutated receptor neither bound125I-labeled glucagon nor induced cAMP production upon stimulation with up to 1 µM glucagon. Despite the mutation, the only obvious pathophysiological trait was hyperglucagonemia, hyperaminoacidemia and massive hyperplasia of the pancreatic α-cells assessed by histology. Our case supports the notion of a hepato–pancreatic feedback system, which upon disruption leads to hyperglucagonemia and α-cell hyperplasia, as well as elevated plasma amino acid levels. Together with the glucagon-induced hypoaminoacidemia in glucagonoma patients, our case supports recent suggestions that amino acids may provide the feedback link between the liver and the pancreatic α-cells.

Learning points:

Loss of function of the glucagon receptor may not necessarily lead to the dysregulation of glucose homeostasis.

Loss of function of the glucagon receptor causes hyperaminoacidemia, hyperglucagonemia and α-cell hyperplasia and sometimes other pancreatic abnormalities.

A hepato–pancreatic feedback regulation of the α-cells, possibly involving amino acids, may exist in humans.
Internal consistency, convergent validity, and structural validity of the Japanese version of the Physical Activity Self-Regulation scale (PASR-12) among Japanese workers: A validation study

Published: November 2016

Objectives

Self-regulation for physical activity is considered as one of the most effective factors in promoting physical activity. However, there is no reliable and valid scale to measure it in Japanese. The purpose of this study was to investigate the internal consistency, convergent validity, and structural validity of the newly developed Japanese version of the 12-item Physical Activity Self-Regulation scale (PASR-12) among Japanese workers.

Methods

A cross-sectional Internet-based survey recruiting 516 Japanese workers was conducted in Japan. The PASR-12 was translated according to the International Society of Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) task force guidelines. Physical activity and self-efficacy for physical activity were measured as comparisons for convergent validity. We calculated Cronbach’s alphas, and conducted correlational analyses and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) .

Results

Of 516 workers, 485 workers were eligible for all analyses. Cronbach’s alpha for the scale scores ranged from 0.79 to 0.95. The scores of the total and 6 factor scales of the Japanese version of the PASR-12 had small-to-moderate positive correlations with the total physical activity and self-efficacy. Moreover, the 6-factor hypothesized model demonstrated excellent fit (χ2 (39) = 100.74, CFI = 0.973, RMSEA = 0.057).

Conclusions

The Japanese version of the PASR-12 showed good reliability and factor-based and construct validity. Therefore, this scale could be applied to assess self-regulation for physical activity among Japanese workers.

The structure of the larval fish assemblage of the northwestern Pacific coast of Mexico is analyzed from zooplankton samples taken between 1998 and 2000 off northern and southern Baja California Peninsula. The 198 fish taxa identified reflected the faunal complexity reported previously for the area. Adult distribution patterns and reproductive behavior, added to the environmental seasonality and bathymetric characteristics of the coast, explained differences in the larval fish assemblage. Larvae of meso- and bathypelagics Vinciguerria lucetia, Diogenichthys laternatus, and Triphoturus mexicanus were the most abundant year round. Larvae of commercially important species, such as Engraulis mordax, Sardinops sagax, Merluccius productus, and Trachurus symmetricus, were also abundant during winter and spring, depending on the year and surveyed region. Adult distribution patterns and reproductive behavior, intra- and interannual environmental variability, and bathymetric characteristics of the coast all likely contributed to the differences in the larval fish community through space and time. For example, the abundance of temperate species in northern Baja California was relatively low when warm-water El Niño conditions prevailed in 1998 but increased during the cool-water La Niña period in 1999 and 2000. The results enhance knowledge of the community dynamics of fishes in an ecologically complex and commercially important region.

We provide a check list of angiosperm plant species with their bioresource potential as medicinal plants enumerated from a total of seventy-five tropical dry evergreen forest sites along the Coromandel coast of peninsular India. These are poorly known sites even within Indian sub-continent and form an under-studied forest type. Tropical dry evergreen forests harbour 312 species belonging to 251 genera and 80 families. The families with the greatest numbers of species were Euphorbiaceae (20 species), Apocynaceae (18 species), Rubiaceae (15), Fabaceae (12), Mimosaceae (11) and Capparaceae and Asteraceae (10 each). Physiognomically evergreen species dominated the forest. Plant specimens are identified and confirmed using regional floras. These forests are conserved by the local people on religious ground as sacred groves, although they are also subjected to various levels of anthropogenic impacts.

Waduk Ir. H. Djuanda terletak di Kabupaten Purwakarta-Jawa Barat, merupakan suatu badan air yang membendung Sungai Citarum, yang beroperasi sejak tahun 1967. Waduk Ir. H. Djuanda mempunyai luas 8.300 ha dan merupakan waduk serba guna di antaranya bermanfaat untuk pembangkit listrik tenaga air, penyediaan baku air minum dan industri, irigasi, perikanan, pariwisata, dan pengendalian banjir (Sudjana, 2004).Sesuai dengan manfaat waduk Ir. H. Djuanda di bidang perikanan, pada umumnya nelayan menangkap ikan menggunakan alat pancing, jaringtebar, dan jaring insang. Alat tangkap yang dominan diWaduk Ir. H. Djuanda adalah jaring insang dengan ukuran mata jaring kurang dari 2 inci sehinggadiperoleh hasil tangkapan ikan yang berukuran kecil atau anak-anak ikan. Hal ini akan berakibat terputusnya siklus hidup ikan. Mekanisme jaring insang didasarkan atas tertangkap ikan di bagian insangnya, jaring insang merupakan salah satu alat tangkap ikan yang bersifat pasif, ikan yang tertangkap adalah ikan yangmelewati jaring insang. Jaring insangdioperasikan dengan metode mirip dengan pagar jaring, untuk membentuk tegaknya jaring digunakan pelampung dan pemberat (Surur, 2004).

Sejak diperkenalkan alat tangkap pukat cincin pada tahun 1978 di Batang-Jawa Tengah, perikanan pukat cincin telah berkembang sangat pesat terutama di utara Jawa Tengah baik dalam jumlah maupun cara penangkapan. Pukat cincin merupakan penghasil terbesar selama periode tahun 1975-1979, di Laut Jawa mencapai 49.000 ton atau 33,8% dari produksi total ikan (Dwiponggo, 1983). Daerah penangkapan pada umumnya ditentukan oleh musim. Pada musim timur (bulan Juni-Nopember) nelayan pukat cincin beroperasi dengan arah haluan 0-45°, sedangkan pada musim barat (bulanDesember- Mei) dengan arah haluan 340-20°, lama perjalanan 4- 13 jam(Hadisubroto, 1975). Dengan demikian, daerah operasi tidak jauh dari pelabuhan perikanan (fishing base).

Menurut Losse & Ponggo (1977) luas daerah penangkapan Laut Jawa Tengah 16.300 km2 sedangkan di lepas pantai 46.600 km2. Selanjutnyadikatakan bahwa perairan ini cukup kaya akan sumber daya ikan demersal. Berbagai alat tangkap ikan dioperasikan di Laut Jawa. Salah satu alat tangkapyang mempunyai arti penting usaha penangkapan ikan adalah jaring arad. Jaring arad tergolong alat tangkap yang aktif, pengoperasian jaring adalah dengan cara ditarik denganmenggunakan tenaga mesin menyapu dasar perairan. Pada umumnya jaring arad yang dioperasikan oleh nelayan di perairan utara Jawa mempunyai ukuran mata di bagian kantong relatif kecilyaitu 0,75-1 inci. Penggunaan jaring dengan ukuran mata jaring yang relatif kecil tersebut ditengarai telah mengancam kelestarian sumber daya perikanan terutama perikanan pantai karena banyak ikan-ikan muda dan rucah yang ikut tertangkap. Ikan muda disebut juvenile fish dan ikan rucah disebut trash fish.

Authors: Kozachyna V. A.
Published: November 2016

Purpose.Sedimentation by gravity is the most common and extensively applied treatment process for the removal of solids from water and wastewater and it has been used for over one hundred years. Sedimentation tanks are one of the major parts of a treatment plant especially in purification of turbid flows. Horizontal settlers are mainly used for purification of high quantity of water. In these tanks, the low speed turbid water will flow through the length of the tank and suspended particle have enough time to settle. Finding new and useful methods for calculating and increasing hydraulic efficiency of horizontal settlers is the objective of many theoretical, experimental and numerical studies.But currently used models and methods in Ukraine do not allow taking into account geometrical form and various design features. In this paper the numerical model was developed to evaluate the effectiveness of horizontal settler with modified structure. Methodology. Numerical model is based on: 1) equation of viscous fluid dynamics; 2) mass transfer equation. For numerical simulation the finite difference schemes are used. The numerical calculation is carried out on a rectangular grid. For the formation of the computational domain markers are used. Findings.The model allows obtaining the purification process in the settler with different form and different configuration of baffles. Originality. A new approach to investigate the mass transfer process in horizontal settler was proposed. This approach is based on the developed CFD model. The fluid dynamics model was used for the numerical investigation of flows and waste waters purification. To investigate influence of baffles on settler efficiency physical experiment was carried out. Practical value.The developed model has more capacity than the existing models in Ukraine. The developed model allows computing quickly the efficiency of water purification in settlers. The model is not computationally expensive. Calculation time of one variant of the problem takes few minutes.

Purpose. To determine the universal empirical relationships that allow for operational calculation of scale mass and decarbonized layer depth based on the parameters of the technological process for rolled coil steel production. Methodology. The research is carried out on the industrial batches of the rolled steel of SAE 1006 and SAE 1065 grades. Scale removability was determined in accordance with the procedure of «Bekaert» company by the specifi-cations: GA-03-16, GA-03-18, GS-03-02, GS-06-01. The depth of decarbonized layer was identified in accordance with GOST 1763-68 (M method). Findings. Analysis of experimental data allowed us to determine the rational temperature of coil formation of the investigated steel grades, which provide the best possible removal of scale from the metal surface, a minimal amount of scale, as well as compliance of the metal surface color with the require-ments of European consumers. Originality. The work allowed establishing correlation of the basic quality indicators of the rolled coil high carbon steel (scale mass, depth of decarbonized layer and inter-laminar distance in pearlite) with one of the main parameters (coil formation temperature) of the deformation and heat treatment mode. The re-sulting regression equations, without metallographic analysis, can be used to determine, with a minimum error, the quantitative values of the total scale mass, depth of decarbonized layer and the average inter-lamellar distance in pearlite of the rolled coil high carbon steel. Practical value. Based on the specifications of «Bekaert» company (GA-03-16, GA-03-18, GS-03-02 and GS-06-01) the method of testing descaling by mechanical means from the surface of the rolled coil steel of low- and high-carbon steel grades was developed and approved in the environment of PJSC «ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih». The work resulted in development of the rapid method for determination of total and remaining scale mass on the rolled coil steel surface of low- and high-carbon steel grades depending on the temperature coil formation. There was obtained the patent of Ukraine for invention no. 91760 «The method for de termining the total and remaining amount of scale on the rolled steel surface».
