Fijación de carbono en sistemas agroforestales gestionados por pequeños productores de los Andes del Ecuador
Authors: Añazco Romero Mario , Fernández Gómez Nathaly
Published: December 2021

Los ecosistemas de montaña son extremadamente vulnerables al cambio climático, razón por la cual se encuentran particularmente en riesgo las poblaciones de montaña que dependen de la actividad agrícola y ganadera. Esta investigación se desarrolló en cinco sitios, en las provincias de Imbabura y Carchi con el objetivo de determinar la tasa de fijación de carbono (C) en sistemas agroforestales gestionados por pequeños productores en los Andes del Ecuador. Adicional a esto, se adaptó la metodología al contexto socioeconómico y productivo de los pequeños productores. Las unidades experimentales fueron cinco prácticas agroforestales representativas de la región andina norte. Se cuantificó el contenido de C a partir de la biomasa aérea para cada especie forestal. Para cuantificar la biomasa de las especies agrícolas y pastos, se utilizó el método directo de muestreo des­tructivo. La cantidad de C de cada una de las prácticas agroforestales fue determinada multiplicando el valor de biomasa aérea por la fracción de C 0,5. La mayor tasa de fijación de C fue de 87,13 Mg CO2 ha-1 y se registró en la práctica silvopastoril de Eucalyptus globulus en asocio con Pennisetum clandestinum. Tanto en esta práctica como en las que Alnus nepalensis está asociado con Coffea arabica, e Inga insignis asociado con Phaseolus vulgaris, las especies forestales fijan el 89% del C total y las especies agrícolas el 11%. Los sistemas agroforestales andinos manejados por pequeños productores fijan C con tasas superiores a sistemas similares desarrollados en otros sitios localizados tanto dentro como fuera del país.

Published: December 2021

O objetivo do presente artigo é analisar os efeitos dos custos de comércio sobre as exportações de produtos agropecuários e manufaturados das regiões do Brasil, no período de 2006 a 2015. Para isso, foi utilizado o custo bilateral total de comércio entre o Brasil e os seus parceiros comerciais, desagregado em custos tarifários e não tarifários calculados pela equação invertida de Novy e obtidos no site da Economic and Social Commission for Ásia and the Pacific (ESCAP). Além disso, foram utilizados como custos os números de documentos e o tempo em dias necessários para a comercialização de produtos, obtidos no Doing Business. O método de análise utilizado foi o modelo gravitacional aumentado do comércio estimado por meio do PPML - efeitos fixos, com uma amostra de 86 parceiros comerciais, que representaram cerca de 90% das exportações das regiões brasileiras, no período de 2006 a 2015. Os resultados obtidos evidenciaram efeitos diferentes dos custos de comércio sobre os setores agropecuários e manufaturados e sobre as regiões brasileiras, verificou-se ainda que os custos tarifários pouco afetaram as exportações na maioria das regiões.

Published: December 2021

A relação entre transferências e federalismo se justifica pela diminuição das diferenças regionais a partir de transferências fiscais. Nesse contexto, analisou-se a relevância dos fatores técnicos, políticos e redistributivos na destinação das transferências voluntárias para os municípios do Rio Grande do Sul, entre os anos de 2008 e 2016, a partir da modelagem de dados em painel. Foram estruturados dois modelos tendo as transferências voluntárias municipais per capita e totais como variáveis resposta. Os resultados apontam que a destinação de recursos de transferência voluntária está relacionada à capacidade de obtenção de tributos próprios e ao percentual de despesas de capital em relação às despesas correntes, aos anos de eleições municipais e à fração eleitoral total e às condições estruturais e socioeconômicas dos municípios.

Published: December 2021

O objetivo deste estudo é analisar os potenciais impactos do acordo de complementação econômica (ACE nº 53 e ACE nº 55) nos fluxos comerciais da economia brasileira. Neste sentido, buscou-se fazer uma síntese das relações comerciais entre Brasil e México e simular cenários do acordo de complementação econômica Brasil e México com redução de 50% e 100% das tarifas. Os setores foram classificados com base no grau de intensidade tecnológica conforme os critérios estabelecidos pela Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Econômico (OCDE), isolando o setor de veículos. O Modelo de Equilíbrio Geral Computável (EGC) foi usado para a simulação, utilizando a base de dados Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP), versão 9. Os resultados revelaram, em ambos os cenários analisados, dois grandes benefícios para o Brasil. O primeiro se deve ao aumento das exportações e importações de produtos do setor de veículos e de média-alta e alta intensidade tecnológica, diminuindo a exportação de commodities, o que estimularia a produção industrial brasileira. O segundo ganho seria o aumento do bem-estar, principalmente por causa do aumento da eficiência alocativa.

KÜRESELLEŞMENİN TARİHİ VE BİLGİ
Authors: FIRAT Nihan
Published: December 2021

Çalışmanın amacı, küreselleşmenin olumlu ve olumsuz yönlerini tarihsel bir bakış açısı ile ele almak ve bu süreçte “bilgi”nin rolünü tanımlamaktır.

Çalışmada izlenen yöntem, küreselleşme tartışmalarını gözden geçirmek ve konu ile ilgili kaygıları “bilgi paylaşımı”na uyarlamaktır.

Günümüzde, bilimsel, teknolojik, kültürel bilginin toplumlar ve kültürler arasında özgür ve adil paylaşım olanağı son derece yüksektir. Tarım çağının başlangıcında tekerleğin icadı, sanayi çağına geçişte buharlı gemiler ve trenlerle başlayan motorlu iletişim geçmişte yaşanan küreselleşme sürecini tanımladığı gibi sürecin şimdi içinde bulunduğumuz adımını da bilginin özgür ve adil paylaşımı sayesinde ortaya çıkan ve desteklenen ağ şeklindeki ilişki kurgusu tanımlar. Bu kurgunun, paylaşılan bilgi sayesinde değerler, bakış açıları, kabuller ve kültürde yaratacağı ortaklıklar ile insanlık tarihinin önyargı ve farklılıklardan kaynaklanan pek çok sorunu çözmesi mümkün olabilir. Böylece, bilgiye ulaşma imkânlarındaki kültürel ve sosyal sınırlamaların ötesine geçen özgürlük ve adalet, farklı sosyal yapıların bir arada yaşamayı öğrenmesine fayda sağlayabilir. Barışçıl bir dünya hayalinin gerçekleşmesinin enformasyon kaynaklarının adil kontrolüne bağlı olduğu söylenebilir. Öte yandan, tıpkı küreselleşmenin ekonomik ve sosyal boyutlarında olduğu gibi, tam tersinin gerçekleşmesi ve küresel bilginin daha heterojen sosyal yapılara ve yeni çatışmalara neden olması da söz konusu olabilir.
La crisis del sistema de partidos políticos en la Argentina
Authors: López Leandro
Published: December 2021

Es importante analizar la problemática democrática en función del comportamiento de los partidos políticos. En este sentido, centrar el estudio de la democracia en torno al sistema de partidos, lejos de ser un mero análisis electoral, supone trabajar y teorizar en rrelación a los elemntos esenciales que hacen a la calidad institucional y a la necesaria gobernabilidad que supone toda democracia. Partiré de las teorizaciones básicas existentes para abordar la problemática del sistema de partidos, para así llegar a analizar el caso concreto de la democracia en la Argentina actual, donde el problema de la reconfiguración o recomposición partidaria se hace sumamente imperioso para el fortalecimiento del sistema.
La necesidad de una imperiosa reconstrucción de un sistema de partidos sólidos en la Argentina es una prioridad de nuestra democracia. Para analizar el modelo de incertidumbre actual donde vivimos una democracia de candidatos o personalidades y no de partidos, propongo analizar el tema no solo desde los datos actuales sino remontándome al origen de la problemática, la cual tiene un arrastre y una significación histórica y política que me parece importante traer a la colación, ya que contribuye en términos de aportes  a fortalecer nuestros sistemas democráticos.

Published: December 2021

Mangroves are well-adapted halophytes that thrive in coastal saline environments. They live under difficult environmental conditions, such as high light intensity and external salt concentrations, as well as low-oxygen environments, such as water-logged muck, that are typically inappropriate for the survival of other plants. Salinity is a major abiotic factor that affects plant growth, productivity, and dispersal in tropical and semitropical intertidal areas. Furthermore, it affects approximately 20% of all cultivable land and 50% of all irrigated land on the planet. Mangroves have developed a sophisticated salt filtration mechanism and a complicated root structure to withstand salty water exposure and tidal movement. The expression patterns of five salt tolerance genes (amFer1, amDhna, amSod1, amCat1, and amUbc2) in the Egyptian gray mangrove (Avicennia marina Forssk.) grown under different environmental conditions in South Sinai protectorates (Nabq, Ras Mohamed, Safaga, and Wadi El-Gemal), Egypt, were investigated in this study. This study aimed to assess and examine the genetic behavior of mangroves in response to salinity by using quantitative real-time PCR. Findings revealed differences in the expression patterns of the investigated genes under various conditions, showing that salinity influences plant genetic response. Ferritin gene expression was high in all locations, indicating that ferritin represents an essential component of the mangrove response mechanisms.
Genetic profiles of three Cinchona species in Junghuhn Natural Reserve, Indonesia
Authors: Sasongko N.D. , Yuniati A. , Gayo Billmora L.A.
Published: December 2021

Cinchona species were widely used as ancient medicines for different diseases because they contain the active component quinine and its derivatives. However, studies on the molecular aspects of cinchona, including its genetic diversity, have not been reported because most previous works focused on the administration of the antimalarial cinchona alkaloid. Quinine is also being tested as alternative compound for the treatment of Covid-19. The Junghuhn Natural Reserve in Indonesia contains three different types of cinchona plants, namely, Cinchona calisaya, Cinchona pubescens, and Cinchona sp. Given that the genetic diversity and kinship of these species have never been studied, collecting data on the cinchona gene pool has become imperative. This study analyzed the genetic diversity of the cinchona species in the Junghuhn Natural Reserve, Indonesia, by using eight RAPD markers, i.e., OPA-2, OPA-9, OPB-02, OPB-03, OPB-04, OPB-05, OPB-7, and OPJ-07, during 2020 at the University of Jenderal Soedirman, Purwokerto-Indonesia. Polymorphic band data were obtained. Then, phenogram analysis was conducted by using UPGMA and maximum parsimony with MEGA7. The RAPD profiles of Cinchona species (C. calisaya, C. pubescent, and Cinchona sp.) revealed polymorphism with different markers, i.e., OPA-2 (90%), OPB-2 (75%), OPB-5 (75%), OPB-3 (66.66%), OPB-4 (66.66%), OPB-7 (66.66%), OPJ-7 (66.66%), and OPA-9 (58.33%) sequentially with total polymorphism (70.62%). C. calisaya was identified as the most distinctive species. UPGMA yielded a coefficient of 0.200 and two distinctive groups: Group I, which comprised C. pubescens and Cinchona sp. with the p-distance value of 0.333, and Group II, which contained C. calisaya. Ixora sp. was treated as an outgroup plant. The topology of the dendrogram was consistent with that of the UPGMA dendrogram. Results may be used for the further exploration of the genetic diversity of cinchona species.

Published: December 2021

Genetic engineering is one of the strategies for developing nitrogen (N)-use-efficient rice (Oryza sativa) varieties. One gene that plays an indirect role in N metabolism is alanine aminotransferase (AlaAT). It can efficiently increase N content and crop yield. In a previous study, the tomato AlaAT gene (LeAlaAT) was successfully isolated and introduced into ‘Mekongga’ rice. The present research was conducted during 2018 and 2019 at the Indonesian Center for Agricultural Biotechnology and Genetic Resources Research and Development (ICABIOGRAD), Bogor, Indonesia. The objectives of the present study were to perform the molecular characterization of LeAlaAT ‘Mekongga’ rice lines on the basis of the hpt marker gene, the direct PCR of the LeAlaAT fragment, and the phenotypic evaluation of the selected LeAlaAT T1 ‘Mekongga’ rice lines in response to different N fertilizer rates (0 kg ha−1 [control] and 60, 90, and 120 kg ha−1). This research involved three activities, namely (1) Southern blot analysis, (2) direct PCR, and (3) N use efficiency (NUE) test of ‘Mekongga’ transgenic lines. Southern blot analysis revealed that in T0 transgenic lines, the copy number of the hpt marker gene varied from 1 to 3. Direct PCR confirmed the presence of the AlaAT fragment in the T1 generation of five ‘Mekongga’ transgenic lines. The five transgenic lines showed high panicle number, biomass weight, shoot dry weight, and total grain weight under 120 kg ha−1 nitrogen. The high agronomical NUE of transgenic lines under 120 kg ha−1 N implied that the transgenic rice lines have the potential for efficient N use at a certain minimum level of N (120 kg ha−1 of nitrogen) and should be further evaluated at high N levels.

Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) resistance is a highly desirable trait for mungbean (Vigna radiata [L.] Wilczek) production in Thailand. ‘V4718’ is a vital resistance source that shows high and stable resistance to CLS disease. A previous study identified a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) (qCLSC72V18-1) controlling CLS resistance and found the marker (I16274) that was located closest to the resistance gene by using F2:9 and F2:10 recombinant inbred line populations derived through a cross between ‘V4718’ and the susceptible variety ‘Chai Nat 72’ (‘CN72’). Here, we evaluated three newly reported simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and one InDel marker together with six previously identified markers that were linked to qCLSC72V18-1 to further identify the markers that were located close to this QTL. By performing bulk segregant analysis on two validation populations, we found that two SSR markers (Vr6gCLS037 and Vr6gCLS133) and one InDel marker (VrTAF5_indel) were putatively associated with CLS resistance. Of these markers, only the VrTAF5_indel marker showed a significant association with the CLS resistance gene with a logarithm of odds score > 3 across the phenotypic data for 2016 and 2018. QTL analysis with inclusive composite interval mapping revealed that the VrTAF5_indel marker was integrated into the genetic map with other previously identified markers. The I16274 and VrTAF5_indel markers flanking the QTL of interest accounted for 41.56%-60.38% of the phenotypic variation with genetic distances of 4.0 and 5.0 cM from the resistance gene, respectively. Both markers together permitted only 0.40% recombination with the CLS resistance gene in marker-assisted selection and thus could be useful in future breeding efforts for CLS resistance in mungbean.
Genotype by environment interaction analysis of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain yield under rain-fed conditions in Zambia
Authors: Tembo B.
Published: December 2021

Understanding genotype by environment interaction (GEI) is important for crop improvement because it aids in the recommendation of cultivars and the identification of appropriate production environments. The objective of this study was to determine the magnitude of GEI for the grain yield of wheat grown under rain-fed conditions in Zambia by using the additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) model. The study was conducted in 2015/16 at Mutanda Research Station, Mt. Makulu Research Station and Golden Valley Agricultural Research Trust (GART) in Chibombo. During2016/17, the experiment was performed at Mpongwe, Mt. Makulu Research Station and GART Chibombo, Zambia. Fifty-five rain-fed wheat genotypes were evaluated for grain yield in a 5 × 11 alpha lattice design with two replications. Results revealed the presence of significant variation in yield across genotypes, environments, and GEI indicating the differential performance of genotypes across environments. The variance due to the effect of environments was higher than the variances due to genotypes and GEI. The variances ascribed to environments, genotypes, and GEI accounted for 45.79%, 12.96%, and 22.56% of the total variation, respectively. These results indicated that in rain-fed wheat genotypes under study, grain yield was more controlled by the environment than by genetics. AMMI biplot analysis demonstrated that E2 was the main contributor to the GEI given that it was located farthest from the origin. Furthermore, E2 was unstable yet recorded the highest yield. Genotype G47 contributed highly to the GEI sum of squares considering that it was also located far from the origin. Genotypes G12 and G18 were relatively stable because they were situated close to the origin. Their position indicated that they had minimal interaction with the environment. Genotype 47 was the highest-yielding genotype but was unstable, whereas G34 was the lowest-yielding genotype and was unstable.

Published: December 2021

The biochemical compounds of red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) fruits cultivated with conventional growing technology and on a nutrient substrate were studied during 2019–2020 at the Federal Horticultural Research Center for Breeding, Agrotechnology and Nursery, Moscow, Russia. The antioxidant activity, phenolic compounds, and ash constituents of the fruits and the metabolites of the alcoholic extract of the raspberries were determined. The effect of growing technologies, i.e., conventional vs. nutrient substrate, on the accumulation of macro- and microelements in raspberry fruits was established. In red raspberries grown on nutrient substrate, the antioxidant activity decreased by 25 times (aqueous extract) and 1.5 times (alcoholic extract). The K and Na contents and Se contents of red raspberries grown on nutrient substrate were 1.5 and 3 times higher than those of raspberries of grown with conventional technology. Raspberries grown with conventional technology contained 2 times more Ca, Ni, and Mn and 7.4 times more Fe than raspberries grown on nutrient substrate. The total amount of elements in raspberries grown through soilless cultivation was 5.5% higher than that in berries grown conventionally. A total of 48 compounds were identified in the alcoholic extracts, and only 29 substances were found in berries grown on a nutrient substrate. Sugar and citric acid constituted the largest share of red raspberry components. Fructose and turanose disaccharide synthesis in raspberries grown on nutrient substrate was 20% higher than that in conventionally grown raspberries. A total of 48 organic compounds with different biological activities were identified. They included five substances with antimicrobial activity, three phenolic substances, eight organic acids, four sugar acids, nine amino acids, and 19 sugars and their derivatives. At the same time, 42 compounds were found in raspberries grown with traditional technology, and 21 compounds were identified in raspberry fruits grown on nutrient substrate. Three fatty acids, namely, ɑ-linoleic acid (polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid), palmitic acid, and stearic acid (saturated fatty acid), along with cinnamic acid, shikimic acid, and chrysin were found in berries grown conventionally.
Farklı Yat Tiplerinin Ön Tasarım Aşamasında Makine Dairesi Parametrelerinin Belirlenmesi
Authors: TURAN Bülent İbrahim
Published: December 2021

Yat tasarımı, gemi inşa mühendisliği ile endüstri ürünleri tasarımı ve iç mimarlık disiplinlerinin bir araya geldiği disiplinlerarası bir süreçtir. Yatların içinde bulundukları deniz ortamının dinamik ve zorlayıcı özelliği, denizde can ve mal güvenliğinin sağlanması açısından mühendislik disiplini, yat tasarım sürecindeki öncü disiplin olarak görülmektedir. Öte yandan estetik ve kişiselleştirme gibi kavramların öneminin günümüzde artmasıyla birlikte yat tasarım sürecinde tasarım ve iç mimarlık disiplinlerine duyulan ihtiyaç da giderek artmaktadır. Bir yatın gövdesinin özellikle ön tasarım aşamasında bölmelendirilmesi, yat tasarım sürecinin başlangıcında yer alan süreçlerden biri olmakla birlikte, ilerleyen tasarım süreçlerine yol gösterici niteliktedir. Bu sebeple, kısıtlı bir alan olan tekne gövdesinin ne kadarlık bir kısmının teknenin sevk, idare ve güvenliği açısından kritik öneme sahip bölümü olan makine dairesine ayrılması gerektiğinin bilinmesi tasarım sürecindeki yerleşim ve iç mekân tasarım süreçlerinde yol gösterici olacaktır. Bu araştırmada farklı yat tiplerinin sahip oldukları makine dairesi alanları, makine dairesi başlangıç ve bitiş noktaları ile ilgili uygulanabilir değerlerin elde edilmesi hedeflenmiş, bu kapsamda yelkenli yat ve motoryat tiplerinde toplamda 72 adet yatın projeleri üzerinden veri toplanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, makine dairesinin uzunluğun teknenin gövde boyuna oranı ile teknenin gövde boyu üzerinden makine dairesi başlangıç ve bitiş noktalarının tekne tipine bağlı olarak elde edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, makine dairesinin tekne gövdesinde kapladığı bölümün yüzdesinin incelenen teknelerin tam boyu ile ters orantılı olarak logaritmik dağılım gösterdiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Bununla birlikte makine dairesinin tekne tam boyuna oranla tekne gövdesinde kapladığı bölge, Bodrum Guleti ve aynakıç tipi teknelerde %11-%18 aralığında hesaplanırken bu aralık incelenen motoryat tiplerinde %14-%21 aralığına yükselmektedir. Söz konusu değerler yat tasarımının ön tasarım sürecinde gerek mühendislik gerekse yat iç mekân bölmelendirme ve tasarım süreçlerine katkıda bulunur niteliktedir.
The Effect of Forward Speed on Sway Force and Yaw Moment for Planing Hulls
Authors: KAHRAMANOĞLU Emre
Published: December 2021

Planing hulls, commonly used in many areas, have different hydrodynamic behavior than the displacement hulls, even in calm water. Therefore, this makes the calculation of the maneuvering parameters of these hulls appealing. In the present study, a planing hull's numerical static drift analyses are performed using the unsteady RANS approach to evaluate the sway force and yaw moment at different angles of attack and advance velocities. The results show that the sway force and yaw moment are considerably affected by the advance velocity change, resulting in a variation of hydrodynamic derivatives above 50%. Thus, the forward speed should be included in the calculations for the accurate prediction of hydrodynamic maneuvering derivatives of planing hulls, especially in pre-planning and planing regimes.

“The Kmicic Boys”. A draft on one of the episodes of Tadeusz Konwicki’s Sennik współczesny [The Contemporary Dream Book]
Authors: Marcinów Zdzisław
Published: December 2021

The aim of the following paper is to analyze the theme of cruelty in what is considered to be the greatest novel written by Tadeusz Konwicki. The author argues that the way it is pictured focuses almost exclusively on imagery, as the theme itself is beyond traditional literary description (as stated before by the scholar Wolfgang Sofsky). The article focuses not the subject within this one single work only, but also introduces the reader to its evolution and later use in other novels (such as Nic albo nic [Nothing or nothing] or Kilka dni wojny, o której nie wiadomo, czy była [A Few Days of the War We Were Never Sure Actually Happened]) – which introduce the value of ‘hope’ within the theme. Additional attention is drawn to the ‘issues’ Communist Poland’s literary criticism had with the way the writer presented partisan movements during war in the Eastern Borderlands clearly avoiding in-depth analysis of the motif. Marcinów concludes that both Sennik współczesny [The Contemporary Dream Book] and the historical period the novel is set within share the significance of the theme of betrayal and links it with the fate of a prominent partisan leader in the Eastern Borderlands, lieutenant Antoni Burzynski, codename Kmicic.

English modal constructions ‘must HAVE DONE’ and intermediate modals in authentic context of use ‒ a case study
Authors: Chłopek Dorota
Published: December 2021

The aim of the present paper is to examine the degree to which the first year students of English philology at ATH in Bielsko-Biala are able to recognize the particular modal constructions occurring in authentic linguistic materials, after having been introduced to their forms and meanings theoretically. The paper focuses on contextualization by means of linguistic corpora of selected English modal constructions, such as the perfective use of central modals on the example of ‘must HAVE done’, and particular ‘intermediate’ modals (1. must have; 2. dare + bare infinitive; 3. WE/I shall; 4. BE about to; 5. BE to; 6. HAVE got to; 7. BE bound to; 8. BE willing to; 9. HAPPEN to), following a remote lecture on descriptive grammar of the English language via the MS Teams application during the coronavirus lockdown in January, 2021. The case study concerns the results obtained from an assignment administered to 64 first year students, presented in four tables. The assignment, attached in the form of an MS Word file to edit, required the students to select and cite from either of the two corpora of the English language – BNC or COCA – examples of authentic use of each of the modal constructions studied during one of the lectures. The paper consists of six sections, two on the main theses in cognitive linguistics, whose achievements pertain to usage-based acquisition of new linguistic material, three parts related to the research conducted, including the methodological part, an analysis of the results obtained, followed by a discussion and general conclusions. The last section signals how selected theses of cognitive linguistics apply to the results of the said research.
On the joyful aspects of happiness
Authors: Matuszek Angelika
Published: December 2021

Happiness is one of those categories that escape from clear definitions. The authors as well as other authors of the articles collected in the book On Happiness. Joyful Contexts by Anna Szawerny-Dyrszka and Ireneusz Gielata write about the multifaceted nature of this concept in literature. The article shows how experienced researchers: literary historians and theorists, anthropologists, but also doctoral students, graduates and students of Polish philology are looking for answers to the basic questions: „What do we think about happiness?”, „How do we feel about happiness?”, „Do we think about happiness at all?” and they track the joyful contexts of this phenomenon in literature.

ERP Systems Enhanced with RFID Technology in Furniture Industry
Authors: korpa Szymon , Niedbała Mateusz
Published: December 2021

RFID technology is being widely used in most areas that are supported by ERP systems. With the help of RFID tags and readers placed at various locations throughout a furniture company, the presence of various objects in the factory can be monitored in real time. Readers receiving information from RFID tags can transmit it directly into the system and create databases or initiate business processes. The basic resources that can be tracked using RFID are human and machine resources as well as warehoused inventories, spare parts, tools, semi-finished and finished products. The only condition that must be met by the tracked object is that it can be tagged. The furniture industry is continuously growing. With factories expanding to tens of thousands of square metres and employing thousands of workers, knowledge of who or what is where at any given time is very important for optimising plant operations. Being able to gain this knowledge in real time is very useful and saves a lot of resources over the long term. Monitoring of resources in an ERP system using RFID technology is very popular nowadays. The improvement of the implemented solution leads to an ever increasing degree of control. However, it is important to maintain it at an optimal level, because otherwise it may unnecessarily disturb employees in their daily duties or generate more work for them without returning a measurable benefit.

Authors: Bakhshani Nour-Mohammad , Tafreshi Riehaneh , Lotfinia Shahab
Published: December 2021

Background: Children with learning disabilities (LDs) may be at risk of social anxiety because they are less socially accepted and more anxious than their peers. Approximately 70% of students with LDs experience a high level of anxiety symptoms, and they have clinical symptoms of anxiety more than their peers. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of social skills training on social anxiety disorder in students with LDs. Methods: This randomized controlled trial study included a pretest-posttest control group. Data were collected using Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth Edition (SCID-5), Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (SCAS), and Matson Evaluation of Social Skills with Youngsters (MESSY). In total, 30 participants with diagnosed LDs and high social anxiety were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group received a social skills treatment over 12 sessions of 90 minutes. After collecting the data, SPSS version 24 was used with 95% CI for data analysis. The Levene test was used to assess the equality of variances, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) employed to assess the main effect of social skills intervention. Results: The results of the ANCOVA test showed that social skills training reduced social anxiety in the intervention group (P < 0.01). The covariate (pretest of anxiety) was also significant (P < 0.01). Conclusions: This study showed that social skills training could reduce social anxiety in children with LDs. This result can be a guideline for clinicians to provide the appropriate intervention for the emotional problems of students with LDs.

Published: December 2021

: The current study examines the effects of a hospital information system (HIS) on the performance of management units in Ahvaz public hospitals, Iran. The HIS supports hospital activities at practical, tactical, and strategic levels. In other words, this system establishes a connection between patient care and administrative information in all hospital activities. This descriptive-analytic research was an applied study with a correlational method. The hypotheses were tested by correlation model, structural equation modeling, one-sample t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test using the SPSS software version 20 and LISREL. The findings of this study indicated that an automated HIS can be a powerful tool helping managers with the process of hospital management and decision-making, leading to significantly improved hospital performance. Therefore, continuous training courses are beneficial in enhancing information quality and modern technology usage, which in turn improve the quality of services offered to patients and clients and make them less time-consuming. As a result, an effective step is taken in improving health services. The present study showed that the characteristics of HIS, including user-friendliness, speed, quality, being up-to-date, conformity with working conditions, and proficiency, have positive and significant impacts on the performance of management units.
Three new species of Mesacanthion Filipjev, 1927 (Nematoda: Thoracostomopsidae) from Argentine coasts
Authors: Lo Russo Virginia , Pastor de Ward Catalina T.
Published: December 2021

Three new species of Mesacanthion Filipjev, 1927 were found along Patagonian coasts (Argentina). Mesacanthion bifidum sp. nov. is characterized by short labial and cephalic setae, onchia of equal size, spicule arcuate, and gubernaculum with caudal apophysis, ending in two teeth. The species is related to M. virile (Ditlevsen, 1930) De Coninck & Schuurmans Stekhoven, 1933. However, the spicules and gubernaculum of both species are different in shape. Mesacanthion longigubernaculum sp. nov. is characterized by its long and slender body, striated cuticle, relatively long cephalic and cervical setae, onchia of different sizes, amphidial fovea lentil-shaped, spicule arcuate, gubernaculum surrounding the spicule, and tail conical-cylindrical with terminal setae. Mesacanthion sanantoniensis sp. nov. is characterized by its long and stout body, striated cuticle, long cephalic setae, onchia of different sizes, amphidial fovea pouch-shaped, spicule arcuate, gubernaculum with dorsal apophysis, and tail conical without terminal setae. Following the key of Jeong et al. (2019), the last two species are related to M. pali Wieser, 1959 and M. longissimesetosum Wieser, 1953, so we provide a key to differentiate the four species.
A conversation on accelerating innovation in biopharma and life sciences through global collaboration and alliances
Authors: Boni Arthur A , Molloy Peter L.
Published: December 2021

We note and reflect on the power of international partnering and collaborations that led to many of the innovations that were brought to market extremely quickly and successfully during the Covid-19 pandemic. These collaborative global approaches suggest the potential for developing broader, open innovation models in more extensive regional and global collaborations for other biopharma and life science market segments. In this article, we adopt a ‘virtual panel discussion format” to frame and discuss potential issues and models that would need to be designed, developed and tested, with the purpose of engaging emerging global regions as equal partners. We also consider similar challenges for regions within countries – even in the US - that lack significant sources for capital across the company life cycle.  Several recent open innovation alliance approaches or models are discussed as potential models.  They are: the Eli Lilly FIP Net (fully integrated pharmaceutical network); the Enlight Bioscience alliance developed by Pure Tech Ventures; the Harrington Project linking academia to industry; and, the Corporate Accelerator model notably recently expanded globally by Illumina. We outline a proposal to create a guiding coalition, or “think tank” to further test and develop the proposals discussed herein.

Late postoperative complications of arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis
Authors: Lalović Nenad
Published: December 2021

The vascular approach is a prerequisite for performing hemodialysis, but their "weak points" are different and frequent complications. Modern guidelines recommend native arteriovenous fistula (AVF) as the first choice of vascular approach because it is characterized by the longest survival and the least complications compared to other vascular approaches. All complications of AVF can be divided into intraoperative, early, and late postoperative. This paper presents the late postoperative complications of AVF, their frequency, causes, diagnosis and treatment. The most important late postoperative complications are: stenosis, thrombosis, aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm formation, infection, hand edema, hematoma, ischemic steal syndrome, ischemic neuropathy, congestive heart failure. Large differences in the frequency of each complication in earlier studies can be explained by differences in surgical technique, localization of AVF, diagnostic methods, but, above all, differences between the presented groups of patients. It is described that the age of patients, sex, underlying disease, the presence of comorbid conditions and various metabolic and immune disorders characteristic of chronic renal failure, as well as the way of using and caring for AVF significantly affect the occurrence of AVF complications. One of the main predictors of AVF success and survival is the quality of the patients' blood vessels, and therefore careful examination of blood vessels before approaching AVF creation is of particular importance. The creation, use and care of AVF is the task of the team of health professionals who take part in the treatment of these patients, and successful treatment requires their good cooperation, as well as cooperation with patients.
