Authors: Sousa Júnior João Henriques de , Melo Francisco Vicente Sales
Published: September 2018

A obesidade tem aumentado no mundo todo e as empresas de vestuário começaram a ampliar seus investimentos para melhor atender a esse público, criando lojas especializadas para vestuários plus size. Apesar disso, pouco ainda se sabe sobre como os consumidores avaliam essas lojas. Assim, este artigo objetiva analisar a experiência de consumo de indivíduos obesos em lojas especializadas de vestuário plus size. Para isso, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com consumidores desse segmento, analisadas a partir do conteúdo temático. Os resultados apontaram que, apesar de importantes para a inclusão, as lojas especializadas em moda plus size ainda promovem experiências negativas de consumo, pois os preços estão acima da média do mercado tradicional e não há variedade de roupas.
Työnjaon kuvaus sosiaali- ja terveysministeriön asiakirjoissa – dokumenttianalyysi
Authors: Voutilainen Ari , Kapanen Sari , Kangasniemi Mari
Published: September 2018

Sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollossa työnjako voi kohdistua ammattilaisten, yksiköiden ja organisaatioiden tai toimialojen välille. Sillä voidaan vaikuttaa asiakkaiden ja potilaiden saamaan hoitoon ja palveluun sekä ammattiryhmien ja toimialojen tehtäviin. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kuvata, miten työnjako on kuvattu sosiaali- ja terveysministeriön (STM) asiakirjoissa. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on tuottaa tietoa sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollon työnjaon kehittämiseksi. Tutkimusmenetelmäksi valittiin dokumenttianalyysi. Aineistoksi valittiin STM:n vuosina 2006–2016 suomen tai ruotsin kielellä valtioneuvoston sähköisessä tietokannassa, Valtossa, julkaisemat asiakirjat, jotka kohdistuvat sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollon työnjakoon (n=352). Tästä muodostettiin kaksi osa-aineistoa, joista ensimmäinen (115 asiakirjaa, 709 työnjaon mainintaa) analysoitiin kuvailevan tilastotieteen menetelmin ja toinen (n=30 asiakirjaa) induktiivisella sisällönanalyysillä. STM:n dokumenteissa työnjaon kuvaukset kohdistuivat useimmin terveydenhuollon menneeseen tai nykyiseen työnjakoon. Työn kohderyhmänä olivat useimmin asiakkaat ja potilaat, kuitenkin joka neljännessä myös väestö tai kansalaiset. Lähes puolessa (43,3%) maininnoista työnjakoa tarkasteltiin valtakunnallisten organisaatioiden sisäisenä tai välisenä työnjakona. Sisällönanalyysin perustella työnjakoa tarkasteltiin suhteessa toiminnan järjestämiseen ja sääntelyyn, palveluiden organisointiin ja työvoiman allokointiin. Vaikka STM:n asiakirjoissa välittyy potilaslähtöisyys terveydenhuollon työnjaon lähtökohtana, asiakirjat korostavat yksisuuntaista tehtävien siirtoa ammattiryhmältä toiselle. Tällaisen työnjaon riskinä on, että ongelmaa ei ratkaista vaan se ainoastaan siirretään eteenpäin työtehtävien jatkumossa aina asiakkaalle ja potilaalle saakka. Aineiston perusteella sosiaalihuollon työnjaon tarkastelu on vähäistä.

Experiência literária e experiência urbana: notas sobre a literatura marginal
Authors: Oliveira Lucas Amaral de
Published: September 2018

Nos últimos anos, tem sido possível observar a projeção de escritores das periferias paulistanas na cena literária contemporânea. Esses agentes da chamada "cultura periférica" têm se mostrado hábeis em trazer a questão urbana e seus reveses sociais e raciais para dentro da narrativa. Mas quais os recursos investidos nas práticas literárias desses escritores engajados em impulsionar sua produção, divulgação e consumo nas periferias de São Paulo? A proposta deste artigo é analisar a incidência de experiências urbanas variadas no labor literário e na produção poética de escritores que se reconhecem como integrantes do movimento da literatura marginal, verificando em que medida se pode atrelar experiência literária, representação do espaço e participação artístico-comunitária dentro desse fenômeno cultural ainda em curso.
O ano da vida e da morte do estoico Ricardo Reis
Authors: Castro Pedro Nunes , Cardoso Rosane Maria
Published: September 2018

Este artigo segue a esteira de outros estudos que evidenciaram a interação profícua da obra de José Saramago com a filosofia. Fixando-nos em O ano da morte de Ricardo Reis (1984) pretendemos demonstrar que, neste romance, o estoicismo é um componente intertextual determinante. Aprofundamos o já bastante explorado diálogo com Ricardo Reis, trazendo a lume os seus traços estoicos, porquanto preconizamos que o estoicismo do heterônimo de Fernando Pessoa é herdado pelo protagonista do título referido. E para relevar os fios da filosofia estoica neste tecido narrativo, referenciamo-nos em Kristeva (1974) e Mikhail Bakhtin (1981), que asseveram a onipresença da intertextualidade e do dialogismo na linguagem literária. Entendemos que há uma relação dialógica entre o romance de Saramago e a corrente filosófica e que destacá-la renderá novas possibilidades hermenêuticas.

Published: September 2018

During the last years, in Romania and Bulgaria, an acceleration of existent disparities took place compared to the European Union countries as regards the occupational labor structures and an decreased evolution of the active population migration to other EU states. Starting from these considerations, the present paper shows an analysis of general and specific aspects of the labor market in the two neighbouring countries, starting from the general analysis, at national level, continuing with the regional analysis until the local analysis of the labor market, at cross border level. In Romania, in 2016, an employment rate of the population at work age (15-64 years old) was of 61.6%, to an active population of 8,979 thousand persons, of which 8,449 thousand employed persons and 530 thousand were unemployed. In Bulgaria, in 2016 the active population was of 3,264 thousand persons, respectively, 53.3%, of which 3,199.6 thousand employed persons and 64.4 thousand unemployed. The employment rate of the work was of 68.7%.. There are still signs that in the two countries the legislation complies to the realities and needs in practice.

Characterization of Quality Potential of Feteasca Neagra Grapes Cultivated in Different Romanian Wine Regions
Authors: Antoce Arina Oana , Cojocaru George Adrian
Published: September 2018

The autochthonous Feteasca neagra variety, cultivated in four wine regions of Romania, was comparatively assessed in order to characterize its quality potential in different terroirs. Among the variables of the terroir, the clone of Feteasca neagra is also a factor. Thus, in Murfatlar region we find either clone 9Mf or the massal selection, in Stefanesti clone 4VI is planted, while in Pietroasa and Bucharest clone 10Pt is cultivated. To assess the behaviour of the variety in different wine regions physico-chemical analyses of the grapes were performed, along with the determination of the uvological and phenolic maturity parameters. The results show a high variability, induced both by the cultivation conditions and the selected clone. Although the harvesting was done at approximately the same date, differences in all assessed parameters are found to be directly dependent on the clone, even in the case of the cultivation in the same region (Murfatlar), while the same clone (10Pt) shows a different behaviour when cultivated in separated regions (Pietroasa or Bucharest). The most important characteristics of the grapes are presented and discussed, with a special emphasis on the parameters related to phenolic maturity, which are the most important for the colour and aging potential of the wines. The other compositional parameters are discussed as well, as they also influence the wine’s balance. The favourability of the different regions for the cultivation of Feteasca neagra is assessed, taking into account the wine style which can be obtained from the raw materials, such as wines destined for aging or wines suitable for consumption while young

Authors: Asănică Adrian
Published: September 2018

Currently, the blueberry crop systems are continuous diversifing due to the growing demand for fruit on the market as well as the willingness of farmers to invest in profitable blueberries business. The need to extend the fresh-consumption period of blueberry fruits has made crop protection systems be considered appropriate for high-quality and valuable fruits. In the present work, we have proposed to compare the economic efficiency of three blueberry production systems as follows: the normal intensive cultural system in beds, the superintensive cultural system in pots and the superintensive cultural system in pots and plastic covered (high tunnel). The analyze of the cost and profitability of blueberry has been done according to the crop system, taking into consideration several elements such as: the number of plants per hectare, the total duration of the exploitation, the value of the investment, the yield and the cost of production etc. Further more, considering the average sale price of the blueberry fruits in Romania, we have calculated the net annual return, the annual return rate, the cost recovery period, total operating profit, economic return on investment, and average return on investment. We observed that as much the degree of intensification has increased, the value of investment was higher and the spendings has increased too. Blueberry pot production systems with or without plastic protection are especially recommended for smaller surfaces, which in this way can boost the value and their economic potential.

The aims of this work were to determine which storage conditions can preserve the quince quality (Cydonia oblonga Miller, Rosaceae family), stored in three different rooms with controlled atmosphere (CA). Due to their reported high polyphenolic content in the fruit, three varieties of quinces, like Ekmek, Bereczhi and Tinella were stored and monitored for twelve months. During storage period, the following quality parameters were monitored: dry matter content (D.M.%), titratable acidity (TA), soluble solids (°Brix), firmness, antioxidant capacity and also content in total flavonoids and total polyphenols. After twelve months of storage, observations showed that quince from Tinella variety presented better quality parameters compared to quinces from Ekmek and Bereczhi varieties. As expected, keeping quinces in the presence of CO2
content, respectively 2% and 5%, presented better physical and biochemical quality compared with those stored without CO2 (control).

Published: September 2018

World energy systems development is based on the use of renewable sources, their valorisation benefits of technical and economical stimulating actions. The main disadvantage is related to the low efficiency caused by low energy density and high value investments. The cost of renewable energy is higher than energy coming from conventional sources. Reducing the costs of producing unconventional energy can be achieved by integrating economic and social activities into the system, providing futher benefits. From the potential point of view, it is estimated that biomass occupies the first place in a ranking of unconventional energies. Biomass boosted by anaerobic fermentation with biogas production and cogeneration can provide "peak" energy production and can balance energy systems. Waste utilized by these processes involves reducing environmental impacts by diminushing managed volumes and efficient control. In the present paper are characterized by calculations aspects of the exploitation and elements regarding the optimization of some high-capacity fermenters of a wastewater treatment system.

Published: September 2018

Water is a social requirement and an important factor in the ecological balance. Water from wells is good for direct consumption if the soil is not contaminated. The quality of drinking water is regulated by Law no. 458/2002 (transposing the Directive 98/83/EC on the quality of drinking water). The aim of this paper was to assess the physicochemical qualities of groundwaters from Brestea village, commune Denta, Timis County. The water samples were taken in 2015 from 10 functional wells. For the source whose physical and chemical parameters have exceeded the limit values, the monthly monitoring of the water quality (microbiological and physico-chemical properties) has been performed for 2 years. At the same time, the pH of the soil near the water sources was also measured. The results highlighted a good connection between the microorganisms from water and the nitrite, nitrate and ammonium content of water. The information can be further used to identify and eliminate the specific pollutants, areas and pollution sources.
Evaluation of the Anesthesia Protocol for Controlled Myoplastic Transposition in Oryctolagus Cuniculus
Authors: Costea Ruxandra , Pogărășteanu Mark
Published: September 2018

The loss of a limb through amputation is a traumatic event, leading to major changes in life of a patient. Some of the most cost-effective prosthesis are the myoelectric ones. These rely on sEMG sensors (electromyography) to pick-up electrical signals generated by remaining muscles in the amputation stump from the surface of the skin and relay them under the form of electrical impulses to the command center of the myoelectric prosthesis. We postulate that a higher number of quality signals would result in a higher number of functions for a myoprosthesis to be equipped with. In order to study whether this concept has practical applicability we conducted an experimental study involving the domestic rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and performed controlled myoplastic transpositions through a fascial breach at the level of the forearm of each subject and tested the intensity of the electrical signal generated by the transpositioned muscle before and after surgery. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of the anesthesia protocol used for this study.
A Retrospective Radiographic Study Regarding Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (Dish) in Dogs
Authors: Tudor Niculae
Published: September 2018

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a systemic non-inflammatory disease of unknown aetiology affecting the axial and appendicular skeleton. The disease is characterised by calcification of soft tissues including tendons, joint capsules, and ligamentous attachments to bone. A retrospective radiographic study was conducted to investigate the presence and distribution of the DISH in dogs. For this goal were revised medical records from the radiology service of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Bucharest for dogs that had a radiographic report that described the presence of DISH at spine level. The signalments of all dogs were taken from their medical records. From 531 dogs of 19 breeds, 11 dogs (Cross breed = 3; Rottweiler = 3; Boxer = 2; Golden retriever = 2; German shepherd = 1) were diagnosed with DISH, representing 2.07%. Of these, 5 were females and 6 males, aged between 6 and 15 years (an average of 9.81 years). Following the radiographic evaluation, a total of 74 vertebral segments affected by DISH were identified, and the number of vertebral segments affected per dogs varied between 4 and 10. In all cases, the DISH was accompanied by spondylosis deformans. Although the presence of flowing calcification in the ventral aspects of adjacent vertebral bodies is conclusive for classification as DISH, however it is recommended obtaining supplementation data through modern imaging exams on the vertebral structures.

Published: September 2018

People suffering from the celiac disease have to apply a strict gluten-free diet because this is the only effective management. Unfortunately removal of gluten results in low quality for many cereal products. The aimof this study was to improve the technological and sensorial characteristics of gluten-free cookies (GFC) by using xanthan gum (XG). XG was added at 0-1-2-3 and 4% levels into gluten-free flour mixture prepared with corn starch, corn flour, rice starch and potato starch. Quality properties of GFC were compared with gluten-containing soft wheat flour cookies (SWFC). Incorporation of XG to GFC significantly affected various parameters such as; lightness, yellowness, hardness, fracturability and thickness of GFC were increased while redness, width and spread ratio were decreased. Moisture and water activity of GFC with no added XG were observed much lower than GFC with XG. Addition of XG to GFC also improved the sensorial scores significantly. The addition of xanthan gum was improved technological and sensorial quality characteristics of GFC and usage level of 3% XG resulted in these scores similar to that of a wheat SWFC.

Published: September 2018

Nowadays many reports confirmed the effect of different nanoparticles (NPs) on the growth and secondary metabolite production in various microorganisms. Some of them, NPs like Ag, Au and oxides of Al, Ti, Si and Zn have harmful effect on the cells of microorganisms. Iron NPs are expected to be nontoxic, due to using Fe atom in several pathways of cell metabolism and, therefore, low iron toxicity. The use of iron NPs in technologies for remedying polluted environment was caused by their efficiency in reduction reactions, mobility, and high reactivity, due to the high surface area. The present study aims to determine the effect of magnetite (Fe3O4), zero-valent iron Fe(0) NPs, and fluorinated dinitroaniline herbicide trifluralin on growth of mycelial fungi. Fungal strains were isolated from soil long-term polluted with obsolete pesticides, DDT and trifluralin. The inhibition activity of iron NPs and trifluralin was evaluated using express-method. Each fungal strain had an individual reaction to the solutions of iron nanoparticles. At the same time, Fe(0) NPs, as well as magnetite NPs, had a stimulating effect on the formation and maturation of spores of micromycetes. Addition of trifluralin to the culture medium had a growth inhibition effect on micromycetes, but this effect was reduced, when trifluralin was mixed and incubated with iron NPs for 1 hour before.

The aim of the research was to determine to what extent the farinograph and alveograph parameters correlate with each other, and with the physical-chemical parameters, frequently used in the evaluation of wheat flours quality. Thus, 81 samples of wheat flours were analyzed. We found a better correlation of alveographic parameters, such as Extensibility and Mechanical Work (r2varied between 0.48-0.51), with Protein content and Gluten content of flours, compared to farinographic parameters: Development time and Stability (r2varied between 0.25-0.35). A poor correlation between farinographicand alveographic parameters was observed, the maximum value of the determination coefficient being r2=0.40, between Stability and Mechanical Work. The factorial analysis led to the highlight of four principal components. The first principal component was strongly correlated with the Protein content (including Gluten) of flours, with most farinographic (except for Water absorptin) and alveographic parameters (Mechanical work, W and Extensibility index, G). This component appears to express the tolerance of flours to the mechanical stress, exerted in the dough phase and their ability to preserve the own viscosity under mechanical stress conditions. The second principal component is related to the dough resistance to deformation, as expressed by the alveographic parameters Resistance and the P/L ratio. Principal components three and four were strongly correlated with flours ash (extraction degree) and amilolytic activity.

Authors: Koju Laxmi , Koju Ram , Wang Shouyang
Published: September 2018

This paper aims to evaluate the macroeconomic and bank-specific determinants of non-performing loans (NPL) in the Nepalese banking system using both static and dynamic panel estimation approaches. The study considers 30 Nepalese commercial banks over the period 2003-2015 and uses 7 bank-specific and 5 macroeconomic variables to assess the impact of banking management and economic indicators on NPL. The findings show that NPLs have significant positive relationship with the export to import ratio, inefficiency, and assets size and a negative relationship with the GDP growth rate, capital adequacy, and inflation rate. The results of the empirical study indicate low economic growth as the primary cause of high NPLs in Nepal and suggest that efficient management and effective financial policies are required for a stable financial system and economy. This is the first complete study in the Nepalese banking system and also the first study that has evaluated the effects of remittance, public debts and interest spreads on NPL. The findings of this study will be helpful in designing the macroprudential and fiscal policies in Nepal.

Methods

The study included a total of 178 patients with T2DM, both gender over the age of 40 years, from the Health Care Center »Dr Milorad Mika Pavlović« Indjija, Serbia. To notice the possible correlation between the CBC parameters and glucose control in T2DM, the subjects were divided in two groups with HbA1c ≤ 7% and with HbA1c>7%. We analysed CBC parameters, parameters of glycoregulation, lipid status using standard biochemical methods, performed anthropometric measurements and collected patients data by questionnaire and electronic patient card.

Results

There was statistical difference between HbA1c groups for PMDW (p=0.045), HDL (p=0.0067). Using univariate linear regression it is shown that PCT was correlated with WBC (p=0.0005), neutrophils (p=0.046), monocytes (p=0.003); MPM was associated with MPV (p=0.0005); MPC (p=0.0005), PDW (P=0.0005), GLU0 (p=0.034), HDL-C (p=0.005); PMDW was correlated with HbA1c% (p=0.049), GLU0 (p=0.013), HDL-C (p=0.001), BW (p=0.043) in all patients.

Conclusions

Based on our study results it may be concluded that some of the parameters of CBC could be useful tool in following glycemic control of diabetics.
The Cavitation Nuclei Transient Characteristics of Lennard-Jones Fluid in Cavitation Inception
Authors: Qiang Fu , Benying Zhang , Yuanyuan Zhao , Rongsheng Zhu , Gang Liu , Mengyuan Li
Published: September 2018

In the field of ocean engineering, cavitation is widespread, for the study of cavitation nuclei transient characteristics in cavitation inception, we applied theoretical analysis and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to study Lennard-Jones (L-J) fluid with different initial cavitation nuclei under the NVT-constant ensemble in this manuscript. The results showed that in cavitation inception, due to the decrease of liquid local pressure, the liquid molecules would enter the cavitation nuclei, which contributed to the growth of cavitation nuclei. By using molecular potential energy, it was found that the molecular potential energy was higher in cavitation nuclei part, while the liquid molecular potential energy changes greatly at the beginning of the cavitation nuclei growth. The density of the liquid and the surface layer changes more obvious, but density of vapor in the bubble changes inconspicuously. With the growth of cavitation nuclei, the RDF peak intensity increased, the peak width narrowed and the first valley moved inner. When cavitation nuclei initial size reduced, the peak intensity reduced, the corresponding rbin increased. With the decrease of the initial cavitation nuclei, the system pressure and total energy achieved a balance longer, and correspondingly, they were smaller. In addition, at the beginning of the cavitation nuclei growth, the total energy and system pressure changed greatly.

PanParser: a Modular Implementation for Efficient Transition-Based Dependency Parsing
Authors: Aufrant Lauriane , Wisniewski Guillaume
Published: September 2018

We present PanParser, a Python framework dedicated to transition-based structured prediction, and notably suitable for dependency parsing. On top of providing an easy way to train state-of-the-art parsers, as empirically validated on UD 2.0, PanParser is especially useful for research purposes: its modular architecture enables to implement most state-of-the-art transition-based methods under the same unified framework (out of which several are already built-in), which facilitates fair benchmarking and allows for an exhaustive exploration of slight variants of those methods. PanParser additionally includes a number of fine-grained evaluation utilities, which have already been successfully leveraged in several past studies, to perform extensive error analysis of monolingual as well as cross-lingual parsing.
An Easily Extensible HMM Word Aligner
Authors: Gū Jetic , Bigvand Anahita Mansouri , Sarkar Anoop
Published: September 2018

In this paper, we present a new word aligner with built-in support for alignment types, as well as comparisons between various models and existing aligner systems. It is an open source software that can be easily extended to use models of users’ own design. We expect it to suffice the academics as well as scientists working in the industry to do word alignment, as well as experimenting on their own new models. Here in the present paper, the basic designs and structures will be introduced. Examples and demos of the system are also provided.

A INFLAÇÃO LEGISLATIVA NO CONTEXTO BRASILEIRO
Authors: De Sousa Clauton Ribeiro
Published: September 2018

A inflação legislativa no âmbito brasileiro é fenômeno com algumas décadas de existência. Em que pese isso, a produção legislativa parece ainda se encontrar em expansão acelerada, conforme se depreende da comparação dos dados estatísticos colhidos na década de 1960 com os obtidos na atualidade (2007). É possível que a compreensão do fenômeno passe necessariamente pela conscientização de que, antes de ser causa (a expansão de cursos de direito no Brasil tem na inflação legislativa uma das possíveis causas), a inflação legislativa é conseqüência (por exemplo, o uso sem critério de medidas provisórias). A fim de contribuir com o debate sobre a inflação legislativa, o presente artigo discute o fenômeno sob suas diversas facetas, apontando alguns fatores e conseqüências envolvidos nesta temática, que permitem uma melhor apreensão da sua consideração pelos cidadãos brasileiros.

Authors: Miranda Agélio Novaes de
Published: September 2018

O presente artigo aborda as possibilidades e limitações da fazenda pública na constituição do crédito não tributário com foco nas indenizações e alcances dos responsáveis por atos lesivos ao erário. Situa o dever-poder de agir da Administração à luz do controle interno e sua relação com o controle externo analisando as providências prévias, dentre elas a própria constituição do crédito, relativas ao dever de instaurar a tomada de contas especiais para ressarcimento. O alcance do conceito de crédito não tributário é objeto de verificação à luz da doutrina, bem como da jurisprudência do Superior Tribunal de Justiça. Indica-se, por fim, restrições e possibilidades de inscrição self-executing, consoante aos paradigmas do devido processo e da reserva de jurisdição.
