Authors: Halo Tomáš , Frydrýšek Karel , Čepica Daniel , Kopelent Michal , Fojtík František , Pleva Leopold
Published: April 2020

The aim of this paper is to determinate critical (tearing) force. This force is needed to be caused, for cannula and its securing fixation (in this case by tapes), to be torn out from patient’s body, (i.e. applications in medico-chirurgical branches). To determine this quantity, experimental approach was used, in which for more realistic approach real human cutis (skin) was used. Data acquired from this experiment may be later used in designing of a device for automatic winding of infusion tubes etc. Measurements were performed on porcine and human skin.

Authors: Andrej Chríbik , Marián Polóni , Matej Minárik
Published: April 2020

The paper deals with the influence of selected component of synthesis gas on internal parameters of combustion engine that is planned to be used in micro-cogeneration unit. The aim is to better understand the mechanism of combustion of carbon monoxide mixed with methane and as a follow-up to optimize the operation of the Lombardini LGW 702 engine on change of fuel composition. Generally, an increasing proportion of carbon monoxide in methane mixture leads to a decrease in engine performance (mean indicated pressure) and the hourly fuel consumption in each of the operating modes of the engine increases. With growing proportion of CO in mixture with CH4, the maximum pressure in the cylinder increases together with pressure rise rate up to approximately 10 % vol. of CH4. With further increasing proportion of CH4, there is a significant decrease of the before-mentioned engine parameters. The optimum ignition angle for pure methane, or carbon monoxide, does not change significantly and it is about 27° CA BTDC.

Authors: Fedorovich V.O. , Fedorovich T.V.
Published: April 2020

Subject. The value of a firm is an unbiased and reliable measure of operations and strategic performance of an enterprise.
Objectives. The study analyzes a combination of approaches based on the book and market values as part of the information asymmetry theory, which points out the comprehensive integrated indicator, such as a firm's value as an unbiased and the most understandable metric for stakeholders, shareholders, would-be investors and managers.
Methods. The study is based on methods of induction, deduction and general cognition, methods of logic, statistical and correlation analyses.
Results. It is advisable to reduce the information asymmetry for principals and agents by updating the Economic Value Added (EVA) and derivative indicators, such as CFROI, CVA, RCF and EM, which are integrated into consolidated income, earnings before taxes and structure of capital owned by subsidiaries and associates and share of capital invested in the development of property portfolios of corporations. Subsidiaries and associates contribute to the consolidated net income, being financially accountable for the capital involved.
Conclusions and Relevance. To forecast the value of a firm, economic-mathematical modeling is advisable, since it will ensure an unbiased evaluation of the firm’s position within a three to five year time horizon and help to reduce the information asymmetry, which requires special tools to substantiate the increment in EVA and corporate capitalization. The ultimate objective of research provides for an unbiased integrated value, such as corporate value of a business, which decreases the information asymmetry for principals and agents.

Published: April 2020

Soil water content is an important variable in the understanding of hydrology in agricultural and environmental systems in a region. It is known that soil moisture is related to soil characteristics, porosity, depth, hydraulic conductivity, among others, that is, characteristics that define its typology. Studies related to soil moisture are still very precarious in Brazil. Recently, the Europe Space Agency has provided soil moisture data estimated worldwide with satellite data. This availability made possible the spatial and temporal assessment of soil magna.moura@embrapa.br moisture for different studies in the world, even though we did not know the accuracy of these data. Many studies have used multivariate analysis to find groups that have similar characteristics that can be analyzed and managed with the same actions. Therefore, this study sought to analyze the similarities and dissimilarities between soil types when considering the characteristics of soil moisture, precipitation, soil elevation and soil depth. After applying the statistical methods it was possible to perceive that the soil moisture does not depend strongly on the precipitation and to suggest caution in the analysis of the relations between the humidity factor and the others scored.

Book review: European Data Protection Regulation, Journalism, and Traditional Publishers: Balancing on a Tightrope?
Authors: Leerssen Paddy
Published: April 2020

David Erdos’ new book, European Data Protection, Regulation, Journalism and Traditional Publishers, is a rich, meticulous contribution to the study of data protection law and its complex interactions with the media and with freedom of expression and information. In a time when new-fangled tech giants and Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications suck up most of the available attention, the role of more traditional actors remains nonetheless pivotal, and risks being underappreciated. Thankfully, Erdos’ new book does a remarkably comprehensive job of mapping the state of play in this area, critiquing its ongoing challenges and uncertainties, and charting a way forward. It marks a first, promising entry in the new Oxford University Press series on Data Protection and Privacy Law.
Exploring an Emotional Basis of Cognitive Control in the Flanker Task
Authors: Yamaguchi Motonori , Moore Jack Dylan , Hendry Sarah , Wolohan Felicity
Published: April 2020

The present study investigated the influence of emotional stimuli in the flanker task. In six experiments, separate influences of anticipating and reacting to valence-laden stimuli (affective pictures or facial expressions) on the flanker effect and its sequential modulation (also known as conflict adaptation) were examined. The results showed that there was little evidence that emotional stimuli influenced cognitive control when positive and negative stimuli appeared randomly during the flanker task. When positive and negative stimuli were separated between different participant groups in order to exclude a possible contamination from the effect of one valence to that of another, the sequential modulation was reduced when valence-laden stimuli were anticipated or had been presented on a preceding trial, regardless of the valence of the stimuli. A similar pattern was also obtained with facial expressions but only for response accuracy and only after valence-laden stimuli were presented on a preceding trial. The influences of anticipating and reacting to emotional stimuli were only partially replicated in the final two experiments where the arousal and valence of affective pictures were manipulated orthogonally. The lack of consistent influences of emotional stimuli on the flanker effect in the present study challenges the existing theories that implicate affective contributions to cognitive control.

Her view of Marx as a philosopher of revolution in permanence, her interpretation of Lenin as a Hegelian-Marxist thinker-activist revolutionary, her reading of Hegel’s Absolutes as New Beginning for our age, her insistence that human subjects of social transformation are not alone muscle but Mind, are revolutionary Reason as well as force, and her efforts to work out and practice a dialectic of organisation and philosophy through the Marxist-Humanist organisation she founded, News and Letters Committees, are briefly discussed using documentation from her archives, which have recently been made available on the Internet.
Drawing Stereotypes
Authors: Hoffman Zachary
Published: April 2020

This article explores Russian political caricatures regarding the Boxer Uprising (1900) and the Russo-Japanese War (1904–5) that appeared in two of the empire’s largest newspapers, Novoe vremia (The new times) and Russkoe slovo (The Russian word). The article argues that caricaturists both poked fun at international politics and crafted visual identities for their readers of Russia’s European, Chinese, and Japanese neighbors. The images examined here sketch out the crowded and dangerous stage of global imperialism, while also pointing toward Russia’s place within it. In the process, they articulate stylized notions of Europeanness and Asianness that had important connotations for how each periodical depicted the actors in each conflict.

Raynaud Phenomenon: Diagnosis and Management
Authors: Fitriani  , Murti Citra Tresna , K Soenarto
Published: April 2020

ABSTRACT

Raynaud’s phenomenon (RP) is a chronic episodic attack of digital ischemia provoked by exposure to cold or emotional stres. This phenomenon affects 3-5% of the population, with female ratio more than men and is categorized into a primary and secondary form. Primary form of RP is idiopathic, meanwhile the secondary form is associated with underlying diseases and other condition such as connective tissue disease, obstructive arterial disease, neurologic disorders, drugs and toxin, hyperviscosity disorders, infections, endocrine disturbance, neoplasms, and occupation or environmental exposure. Until today, to classified and build the diagnosis of RP is still a clinical challenge. Therefore, a careful history and a physical examination, together with laboratory tests and nailfold capillaroscopy are mandatory. A combination of conservative measures and medications can help in the management of RP. The approach to the RP patients requires therefore a coordinated care of specialists including dermatology.

Published: April 2020

O presente trabalho aborda discussões sobre a nova perspectiva da Educação Inclusiva bem como discute sobre a necessidade de mudança de paradigmas e da revisão de conceitos. Não temos como objetivo apresentar uma receita pronta para elucidar os problemas ou criar paradigmas, mas sim fomentar a discussão por entendermos ser relevante na época em que vivemos. Já que esta temática tem sido discutida há vários anos, analisar-se-ão alguns subsídios importantes que são a base legal de uma Educação Inclusiva (EI) como a Constituição Federal de 1988, a Lei de Diretrizes e Base da Educação, a Conferência de Educação Para Todos (promovida pela ONU) e, também, o Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente. Dada a relevância que a EI representa, buscamos esclarecer alguns pressupostos no que diz respeito ao direito, diversidade, currículo e adaptações a fim de identificar fatores que contribuem para com a diferenciação pedagógica, visando alcançar uma perspectiva de escola inclusiva que respeita as diferenças individuais.

Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 92/PUU-X/2012 dan dan Undang-Undang Nomor 17 Tahun 2014 tentang Majelis Pewmusyawaratan Rakyat, Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat, Dewan Perwakilan Daerah, dan Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah (UU MD3) menjadi babak baru dalam perkembangan Hukum Tata Negara di Indonesia, khususnya terhadap format kelembagaanya. Penguatan kewenangan DPD memiliki tantangan tersendiri dalam kondisi internalnya dalam hal ini adalah sumber daya manusianya (dukungan keahlian dan staff ahli). Jika kewenangan yang dimiliki DPD tidak dibarengi dengan kapabilitas DPD dalam menjalankan tugas dan fungsi, maka sekuat apapun kewenangan yang dimiliki DPD akan menjadi hal yang percuma. Peningkatan kapabilitas DPD dalam menjalankan tugas dan fungsinya menjadi sebuah wacana yang urgen untuk diteliti dan dikeluarkan solusi atas hal tersebut. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah yuridis-empiris, dengan maksud dan tujuan untuk menemukan fakta (fact-finding), kemudian diteruskan dengan menemukan masalah (problem-finding), kemudian mengidentifikasi masalah (problem-identification), dan kemudian mencari penyelesaian dari masalah (problem-solution). Maka pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan sosiologis. Teknik analisis yang digunakan adalah deskriptif-kualitatif, yaitu memberikan pemaparan peran dan fungsi DPD RI, kemudian kondisi kekinian anggota DPD RI dalam menjalankan peran dan fungsinya kemudian dianalisis dan dicari sebuah kesimpulan.

Наприкінці листопада 2018 р. в київському Українському домі відбувся Міжнародний форум «Україна пам’ятає, світ визнає!» з нагоди 85-х роковин Голодомору. В його межах були проведені масштабні заходи: дводенний науковий симпозіум, акцію-реквієм у Національній опері України, меморіяльне засідання Верховної Ради та міжнародні збори в Мистецькому арсеналі за участю глав України та іноземних держав, а також жалобне вшанування жертв біля меморіяльного музею Голодомору. Учасники Форуму звертались до світової наукової спільноти та міжнародних правозахисних організацій із закликом визнати Голодомор злочином геноциду, який підпадає під визначення Конвенції ООН «Про запобігання злочину геноциду і покарання за нього» від 9 грудня 1948 р., як це вже було визнано Законом України у 2006 р. та цілою низкою держав світу.

Obesity, as an important risk factor for the development of diabetes, cancer or cardiovascular diseases, is one of the most important problems of modern medicine. Studies show that obesity often coexists with psychiatric disorders, including the bipolar disorder (BD) – the prevalence of obesity can be 1.5 times higher in BD patients when compared with the general population. Additionally, the risk of mood disorders in obese patients is also increased. The probable aetiology of the bidirectional relation between BD and overweight and obesity is likely complex – genetic factors, abnormalities in the immune system or an increased frequency of eating disorders are all present. Obesity in BD patients may be associated with an impairment of the mental and physical well-being, poorer co-operation in the treatment and lower quality of life. Drugs used in BD therapy have different predilections for inducing significant weight gain. The highest metabolic risk is associated with olanzapine and clozapine (among antipsychotics), amitriptyline, mirtazapine and paroxetine in the antidepressant group, and among the mood stabilizers (excluding antipsychotics) lithium and valproate. Amongst the possible therapeutic measures in patients with overweight or obesity, nonpharmacological as well as pharmacological procedures are mentioned. The newly registered antipsychotics with a possibly favourable metabolic profile (lurasidon, Cariprazine, and brexpiprazole) as well as the combination of bupropion/naltrexone or bariatric surgery carry interesting prospects for the future.

Küresel düzeyde, beş yaşın altındaki çocukların ölüm nedenlerinden birisi de prematüre doğumdur. Gestasyon haftasına bağlı olarak preterm eyleme maruz kalan bebeklerde; emme, yutma ve nefes alma koordinasyonundaki yapısal eksiklikler nedeniyle oral beslenme güçlüğüne sık rastlanır. Preterm bebeklerde oral beslenmeye geçişte aranan en temel basamak, beslenme becerilerinin gelişmiş olmasıdır. Preterm bebeklerde oral motor fonksiyon gelişimini destekleyen uygulamalar, erken dönemde preterm doğmuş bebeklerin büyüme ve gelişimini en üst seviyeye ulaştırmak ve onlara etkili beslenme becerilerinin kazandırılabilmesi için kullanılan müdahale yöntemleridir. Bu derlemede preterm bebeklerde oral-motor fonksiyonların gelişimini destekleyici uygulamalar, güncel veriler ışığında incelenmiştir.

Reducing plant height improves lodging resistance and helps to obtain high grain yield under various environmental conditions. So far, the introduction and maintenance of the dwarfing allele of the Ddw1 gene is the most effective height-reducing genetic approach in rye and triticale breeding programs. However, the dominance of the dwarfing Ddw1 allele makes it difficult to select against heterozygous lines for further breeding based on plant phenotype. To assist breeders in the identification of the allele status of the Ddw1 gene, we developed a cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) marker that requires basic equipment and can be easily applied. The CAPS marker was tested on two F2 segregating populations of triticale, and the test showed the association of the Ddw1 genotype with plant height. The application of the marker for marker-assisted selection (MAS) for rye and triticale is discussed in detail.
Mitigating the Effects of Habitat Loss on Solitary Bees in Agricultural Ecosystems
Authors: Kline Olivia , Joshi Neelendra K.
Published: April 2020

Solitary bees and other wild pollinators provide an important ecosystem service which can benefit both the agricultural economy and the sustainability of many native ecosystems. Many solitary bees, however, are experiencing decreases in their populations and ranges, resulting in an overall loss of pollinator species richness in many areas. Several interacting factors have been implicated in this decline, including increased pesticide use, climate change, and pathogens, but habitat loss remains one of the primary drivers. The widespread conversion of natural habitats into agricultural landscapes has decreased the availability of adequate nesting sites and floral diversity for many bee species. Large monocultures with intensive production systems often cannot support the populations of wild bees (particularly species with short foraging ranges) necessary to ensure adequate pollination of animal-pollinated crops. Diversifying agricultural landscapes through the incorporation of wildflower plantings, as well as the preservation of remaining natural habitats, may offer a solution, as it has been shown to increase both bee diversity and abundance and the pollination of nearby crops. In this review article, we discuss the various effects of habitat loss on solitary bees and different ways to mitigate such effects in order to conserve bee diversity and populations in agricultural landscapes.
