Authors: Santos Denis Cereja dos , Endlich Angela Maria
Published: August 2020

Este estudo tem por objetivo a análise da evolução social dos municípios instalados na década de 1990 através dos indicadores sociais. O recorte territorial corresponde a área da Associação dos Municípios do Vale do Ivaí - Amuvi. Os municípios instalados na década de 1990 são: Arapuã, Ariranha do Ivaí, Cruzmaltina, Godoy Moreira, Lidianópolis, Mauá da Serra, Rosário do Ivaí e Novo Itacolomi. Os indicadores foram analisados através dos seguintes índices socioeconômicos: Índice Firjan de Desenvolvimento Municipal, Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano Municipal e o Índice de Exclusão Social. Foram comparados os dados mais antigos com relação aos mais recentes de cada localidade, evidenciando a evolução dos municípios em áreas que serão especificadas nos quesitos econômico ou social. O emprego dos indicadores pode estabelecer estratégias de fomento e desenvolvimento territorial, no caso deste artigo utilizando como objeto a escala local, em especial os municípios demograficamente pequenos. No entanto, como não foram utilizados dados diretos, obtidos através de pesquisa de campo, ressalvamos que os indicadores não podem ser estabelecidos como verdade absoluta, pois cada localidade deve ter uma atenção particular. É preciso conhecer cada localidade, onde outros fatores além dos conhecidos pelos indicadores podem ser evidenciados como influenciadores no desenvolvimento da sociedade local.

This study aimed to evaluate the molecular characteristics of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated in the swine chain in Northern Italy. A sample of 50 fattening units located in Lombardy was selected. Five cutaneous samples at slaughtering and three environmental samples at farm were collected from each unit giving a total of 250 and 150 samples, respectively. A total of 25 MRSA isolates were isolated from 400 samples, in 17 different fattening units. At farm, 12 out of 250 samples were positive for MRSA (4,8 %), and 13 out of 150 samples at slaughter were identified as MRSA (8,7 %), giving an overall incidence among samples of 6,25 % (n = 25). Molecular characterization was carried out using multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) and spa-typing. Outcomes showed that most of the isolates belonged to ST398, carrying spa-types t899, t011, t18498, t1939, t1200, and t304. Nonetheless, three isolates were identified as ST97 (t1730 and t4795), and one as ST30, showing spa-type t318. Furthermore, a novel ST was identified, namely 5422, showing spa-type t1730. Heterogeneity in genotypes within the same farm was also found in different fattening units, with concern for the possibility of the exchange of genetic determinants among different lineages. Genetic diversity among MRSA isolates in pig fattening units has been observed, highlighting the possibility that some isolates could be able to infect different hosts, including human.

The aim of this work was to study the effects of reformulation of an Italian dry fermented sausage by replacing nitrite with celery or spinach powder alone or in combination with beet powder on some quality characteristics of the product. Five different sausage formulations were produced: i) Control negative (CN): no nitrate added; ii) Control positive (CP) 150 mg/kg potassium nitrate; Group with celery powder (GSe): 3 g/kg celery powder; iii) Group with celery powder and beet powder (GSeB): 3 g/kg of celery and beet powder, respectively; iv) Group with spinach powder and beet powder (GSpB): 3 g/kg of spinach and beet powder, respectively. There was no significant difference between the residual nitrite contents of the samples at the end of the storage period. From microbiological analysis no target pathogenic bacterium has been isolated and the lactic bacteria microflora showed a similar trend in all of the lots. Suggested storage periods for CP, GSe and GSeB were over 60 days by taking into consideration the microbiology and sensory evaluation. Sensory evaluation scores of samples with celery powder, in fact, were comparable to those of CP during storage. The GSpB samples showed similar and higher values regarding the structural attributes, the related attribute to colour showed decidedly lower values due to a greenish coloration of the slice to the presence of spinach.

Formaggio di Fossa di Sogliano is a traditional Italian Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) cheese ripened for a minimum of 5 months, with the feature of a ripening of at least 80 to at most 100 days in pits, digged into tuffaceous rocks according to medieval tradition of Italy. In this study, a challenge test using Listeria innocua as a surrogate of Listeria monocytogenes was performed, with the aim of increasing knowledge concerning the impact of the Fossa cheese process, and especially of the traditional ripening process of this PDO, on the behaviour of L. monocytogenes. Pasteurized milk was experimentally inoculated with 4.5 log CFU/mL cocktail by three L. innocua strains, and L. innocua and Mesophilic Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) counts as well as the evolution of temperatures, pH and aw values were monitored throughout the manufacturing and ripening processes. Throughout the ripening in maturation room a constant temperature of 8°C was observed reaching a temperature between 10 and 15.5°C during ripening into pit. In the final products data for LAB concentration, pH and aw values were roughly in accordance with literature, even if some differences were, probably due to variability of artisanal cheese productions. The numbers of L. innocua showed a slight decrease but remained stable until the end of ripening in maturation room, whereas a significant reduction of the microorganism was observed in the final product, at the end of the ripening into the pit. The findings give scientific evidence that the process of this PDO prevented the L. innocua growth, allowing us to speculate a similar behaviour of L. monocytogenes. Based on this study, the recommendation to extend as much as possible the ripening into pit (from 80 to 100 days) was provided to food business operators as a risk mitigation strategy to be implemented.

The use of proteases makes it possible to obtain partially hydrolyzed forms of macromolecules with unique properties. The importance of proteases for studying the structure and functions of fibrinogen forces scientists to search for new sources of highly specific proteases. Thus, the aim of this work was to study the content of the Pleurotus ostreatus culture fluid in search of fibrinogen-specific proteases. P. ostreatus was cultured for 14 days at 27 ° C. The culture fluid was collected and the protein fraction was salted out with NaCl and then dialyzed. Fibrinogen hydrolysis products by P. ostreatus protease were characterized using SDS PAGE under reducing conditions followed by immunoprobing using murine monoclonal antibodies I-5A (anti-Aα505-610) and 2d2a (anti-Bβ26-42). The study of turbidity and platelet aggregation was performed using a Multiskan FC spectrophotometric microplate reader and a SOLAR-2110 aggregometer, respectively. Electron microscopy of fibrils formed by truncated compared with native fibrins was performed using a transmission electron microscope N-600.Analysis of the products of fibrinogen hydrolysis with a fungal protease using SDS-PAGE demonstrated the cleavage of the alpha chain of fibrinogen exclusively with the formation of a truncated form of fibrinogen in which there are no C-terminal portions of αC regions with a molecular weight of 25 kDa. A study of turbidity showed that the polymerization of truncated fibrin is significantly impaired. The rate of lateral association of protofibrils significantly decreased from 1.5 to 2.2 times in the case of truncated fibrinogen compared to the native one depending on the initial concentration of fibrinogen. It was shown that platelet aggregation in the presence of fibrinogen without 25 kDa fragments of αC regions was less effective than in the presence of native fibrinogen. Application of the preparation of the fungal protease allows us to obtain high molecular forms of the fibrinogen molecule with cleaved 25 kDa peptides, which provide new information on the role of these peptides in the fibrinogen functioning.

Published: August 2020

Lumbar spine disorders (LSD) might influence the outcome after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Despite a known common prevalence of LSD and degenerative hip disorders, this study investigates their mutual influence in case of co-existence with the purpose to advance surgeons planning and patient’s prognosis. Patients with and without LSD were compared before and at the one-year postoperative examination. For clinical evaluation the WOMAC was assessed. The radiological analysis focused on cup anteversion and inclination. The total group included 203 consecutive patients. The overall incidence of LSD was 51.0%. Patients with LSD were on average 4.3 years older and had a 1.8 higher BMI than non-LSD patients (P<0.05). The cup positioning and the clinical results were comparable between both groups before and at the last time of follow up (P>0.05). No hip dislocations nor clinical signs of impingement were seen.We can conclude that there is a high degree of co-existence of LSD and hip disorders. However, a strong negative impact of LSD to clinical or radiologic results could not be confirmed in our study.
Universal Electric Vehicle Thermal Management System
Authors: Rana Tarun , Yamamoto Yuji
Published: August 2020

As the demand for Electric Vehicles (EVs) is increasing to limit global warming, observation shows that the significant application of EV is in cold and mild climate regions. Heat pump and CO2 system are two major Thermal Management Systems (TMS) used in these EVs. These TMS are constrained to cold climate applications securing better COP for heating function but sacrificing cooling COP when the same TMS applied to hot climate regions. This study presents a new Electric Vehicle Thermal Management System (EVTMS) limited to active liquid battery cooling for the application of Electric Vehicles in hot climate regions. The proposed system has integrated Battery Thermal Management System and Cabin HVAC using a shared electric compressor. This integrated solution also utilizes waste heat recovery to contribute for better system COP when compared to conventional TMS used for EV's. The decrease in the number of pipes and switching valves due to integrated solution also results in low refrigerant pressure drop preventing penalty on compressor duty. Battery cells target temperature of 27°C and, temperature delta of 4°C across battery cells is also considered as a prime motive during this study. Different strategies to control battery cells target temperature; the cabin HVAC system is studied. System simulation for typical thermal load in an EV is the first objective. The benefits of the proposed system are validated using an experimental test at a typical load condition. COP comparison for an existing system with proposed EVTMS proves the proposed system to be 50% energy efficient under typical thermal load from battery and cabin.
A doutrina da ROTA: o ethos do “Policial de ROTA”
Authors: Macedo Henrique de Linica dos Santos Macedo
Published: August 2020

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar a doutrina das Rondas Ostensivas Tobias de Aguiar (ROTA), destacando a moralidade nela descrita e imposta. A “Doutrina de ROTA”, categoria nativa dos sujeitos da pesquisa, carrega em si uma série de histórias e prescrições morais que orientam as práticas profissionais e pessoais dos policiais que pertencem a este batalhão da Polícia Militar do Estado de São Paulo (PMESP). Neste sentido, a “doutrina de ROTA” passa a ser uma cruzada moral dos policiais, uma forma constante de ação que demonstra uma resistência a mudanças sociais e institucionais. Ao analisar a produção bibliográfica de policiais que já passaram pelo batalhão, além de outras fontes discursivas colhidas durante a realização do campo, constatou-se que um padrão discursivo que sempre evocava a “doutrina de ROTA”, uma forma organizacional de organizar e consolidar uma forma de “fazer polícia”. Contudo, essa uniformização demonstrou uma forma política e militarizada de conduzir práticas e disputar moralidades, seja internamente na PMESP, seja na sociedade. O resultado de pesquisa demonstrou como essa dinâmica interna produziu uma visão de mundo que busca uma uniformização de condutas, cujo objetivo é ressaltar a imagem

Published: August 2020

Through quantitative investigation, the present study considers the use of subjunctive verb forms in the speech of Spanish heritage language speakers in New York City. The data are from recorded conversations with 26 participants of Puerto Rican, Dominican, Mexican, Ecuadorian, Colombian and Cuban national origins. The purpose of this sociolinguistic study is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the mood grammar of NYC Spanish-English bilinguals in oral production. Results from statistical analyses show significant language-internal differences (e.g., context and rank order), but are null for all external variables, including national and regional grouping, suggesting a homogenous cohort with respect to mood selection. This study also explores inter- and intra-group variation, as well as a bilingual spectrum in which two individual participants demonstrate variable degrees of control with respect to grammatical mood.

Published: August 2020

A Ginástica Artística (GA) é uma modalidade esportiva que requer uma iniciação esportiva precoce, na qual oferece um enriquecimento do repertório motor, proporcionando, uma exploração de movimentos que ampliam o aprendizado. As crianças são frequentemente inseridas num ambiente competitivo e submetidas à carga intensa de treinamentos para que possam atingir um alto nível de competitividade, acarretando na especialização esportiva precoce. Um dos aspectos psicológicos que se pode destacar na GA é a ansiedade, podendo ser caracterizada como uma agitação perante situações de risco, perigo acompanhado de sensações corporais desagradáveis. Dessa maneira, conduziu-se um estudo bibliográfico de caráter descritivo-propositivo com o objetivo de organizar conteúdos vinculados aos aspectos psicológicos que estão relacionados ao período competitivo de crianças praticantes de GA, visando a proposição de condutas junto a essas crianças. Os resultados indicam que há uma preocupação com os aspectos psicológicos na GA, mas que ainda é inferior quando comparada com à atenção direcionada aos aspectos técnicos e físicos, por exemplo. Assim, o presente estudo tece a necessidade da GA ser trabalhada como um todo, desde preparação física, até o estado emocional da criança, para que a mesma, não seja prejudicial ao seu desempenho cuidando para que não leve a desistência da modalidade.

Published: August 2020

The thesis work has been the integral part of the MPhil in Education program. However, it has been observed that students are in a great fix regarding the completion of their thesis work. So, the purpose was to investigate the difficulties encountered by the students during research at MPhil level. Their experiences were further examined on the basis of their gender and university type. The data was collected by the survey. The conveniently selected sample consisted of 300 MPhil students including male and female, studying in public as well as in private universities. The data was collected through a questionnaire which was a 4-point Rating Scale comprising 25 items. It has 3 factors: i) supervisor’ selection, ii) supervisors’ support, iii) institutional support. The descriptive statistics for calculating the percentage of students’ perspectives as well as Inferential Statistics (Mann-Whitney U tests) was used to find out the difference on the basis of students’ gender and university type. The results revealed that majority of students selected their supervisors themselves willingly, but few of them forced to select their supervisor on their teachers’ referrals, research topics were allotted to students by supervisors themselves. Their supervisors were not easily approachable as they were unable to give students the due time because of their academic and administrative burdensome responsibilities, even neither the concerned HOD/ director is available at ease for students nor they are provided the access to paid e-libraries. By keeping in mind, the importance of thesis in accomplishment of degrees of MPhil students, there is need to conduct further studies to explore supervisors’ point of view as some of the problems are concerned with the supervisors’ support too, that will help to minimize the students’ problems.
Picture Perfect: Anne Sexton’s "The Double Image" Reflects the Poet as Daughter, Mother, and Anorectic
Authors: Mehta Jessica
Published: August 2020

Anne Sexton’s poem “The Double Image” is explored, delving into the complexities of the role of the author as confessional poet, daughter, mother, and anorectic. This piece begins by noting the differences between the final published piece and the earlier drafts of the poem, focusing on the subtle differences and attempting to decipher why these changes were made. The significance of Sexton’s childhood home in the poem is noted, as this is seen to infantilise the author and creates a narcissistic regression often seen in anorectic patients. Sexton’s recurrent mouth imagery is addressed, as it is the gateway for food (or lack thereof) and plays a crucial role in the works of Sexton throughout her work and life. This topic is further developed into using hunger and eating metaphorically by Sexton, noting that as a daughter she engulfed everything in her mother’s world. The placement of the portraits in the poem is another aspect that Sexton changes consistently throughout the drafts and this piece delves into theories of the significance the position of the portraits might have had. This piece ends with the importance the color green has for the author in her work, possibly linking it to the choice of using green for the wicked within the original technicolor version of The Wizard of Oz (LeRoy & Fleming, 1939).

STRANGE STARS AT VACUUM PRESSURE DEPENDENT ON QUARK DENSITY
Authors: Vartanyan Yu.L. , Grigoryan A.K. , Shahinyan H.A.
Published: August 2020

Equation of state of strange quark matter has been studied in the framework of MIT bag model, when vacuum pressure $B$ depends on concentration of baryons $n$. The actuality of such studies is conditioned by the increasing of quark matter density from surface to star center. In the literature there exist different representations of function $B(n)$. In the present work Gaussian parametrization is used, which is based on the idea of existence of asymptotic limiting value of this parameter. For four groups of parameters the equations of state of quark matter were determined. The main integral parameters of star configurations were obtained by numerically integrating of star equilibrium equations (the TOV equation). In the considered case it turns that when vacuum pressure dependence on concentration of baryons is taken into account, configurations of strange stars have maximal masses less than two solar masses.

Published: August 2020

We consider the automorphisms description question for the semigroups End($G$) of a group $G$ having only cyclic centralizers (CC) of nontrivial elements. In particular, we prove that each member of the automorphism group Aut($G$) of a group $G$ from this class is uniquely determined by its action on the elements from the subgroup of inner automorphisms Inn($G$). Note that, typical examples of CC groups are absolutely free groups, free periodic groups of large enough odd periods, $n$-periodic and free products of CC groups.

The turbidimetric and Z-potentiometric methods were used for the assessment of some properties of diatomite – bentonite based conditioners for dewatering of effluents from the digestate of a biogas plant. These physical conditioners were prepared based on natural porous highly dispersible systems such as bentonite and diatomaceous earth. Three types of modified systems in the forms of CaO were used, which differ from each other in the ratio of the content of bentonite and diatomite. The role of the silica-containing component is to ensure the structuring of these systems. Diatomite was used for this purpose.

As with any essential oil (EO), the content and composition of Rosa × damascena Mill L. (EO) can be changed significantly, depending on the cultivation methods and terroir. The purpose of this research is to determine the chemical composition and biological activities of EO distilled from Damask rose flowers cultivated in Armenia at high elevation. The EO was obtained by hydro-distillation method, the chemical composition was analyzed by gas-chromatography analysis. The EO main compounds were citronellol (38.04%), nonadecane (4.9 %), nerol (7.12%), geraniol (26.32%) and linalool (6.15%). The antioxidant activity of EO was measured by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH), TBARS and metal-chelating activity determination assays. Antimicrobial activity was determined by agar-diffusion method. According to our investigations the minimal inhibitory concentration values against tested gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria were varied between the 2.5 and 20 mg·mL–1. Obtained data revealed high (DPPH) scavenging, metal chelating, lipid peroxidation inhibiting activities of EO. Thus, the results revealed a good potential of R. damascena EO.
SUITABILITY ASSESSMENT OF GROUNDWATER FOR IRRIGATION PURPOSE AT HIGH-RISK SITES OF THE ARARAT PLAIN
Authors: Ghazaryan K.A.
Published: August 2020

Soil salinization, caused by natural and anthropogenic factors, is a pressing environmental issue in Masis Region, which is one of the important regions of irrigated agriculture in Armenia. To prevent this adverse process the groundwater quality in the region has been evaluated for agricultural uses. For this purpose, the water samples were collected from 27 extraction wells and analyzed for major quality parameters following standard test procedures. Other chemical indices, notably sodium adsorption ratio, permeability index and magnesium hazard, were derived from the measured quality parameters. During the studies the areas with good, permissible and unsuitable groundwater quality for irrigation were determined. According to results obtained for irrigation of agricultural lands in Masis Region (especially in its eastern and southern parts), the usage of highly saline groundwater from shallow horizons should be restricted as much as possible, and in Ranchpar Village, where the groundwater even from the high depths has а high salinity, it is required to use an alternative source of irrigation water.

Authors: Parsadanyan M.A. , Shahinyan M.A. , Antonyan A.P.
Published: August 2020

A study of the interaction of methylene blue (MB) with poly(rA)-poly(rU) by the method of fluorescence spectroscopy has been carried out. The data obtained revealed that MB, being a DNA-specific ligand, can bind to double-stranded regions of RNA. In this regard, as in the case of DNA, semi-intercalation was the most preferable mechanism for the binding of this ligand to poly(rA)-poly(rU). On the other hand, non-linear curves of dependence of F0/F on concentration of polynucleotide might result from two binding modes, the second of which was probably of an electrostatic nature. Proceeding from the data obtained, the value of KSV was revealed to be almost an order of magnitude less than for DNA, which may indicate that RNA is a less preferable target for MB.

POR UMA INFÂNCIA DA ESCRITA E DA LEITURA
Authors: Ribeiro de Melo Marcos , De Freitas Faria de Vasconcelos Michele , Teresa de Morais Oliveira Roselusia
Published: August 2020

Em diálogo com as artes literária e cinematográfica, este artigo aposta na infância da leitura e da es- crita como “germe de vida” para a invenção de si e de mundo. A infância, não como uma etapa de um ciclo de vida, mas como “condição de experiência”, como (des)limite da/na linguagem que, com sua força, desestabiliza práticas sociais, inclusive práticas escolares de escrita e leitura. Assim, trata- mos da produção de um corpo leitor-escritor como experiência primordial que abrange uma cognição encarnada e um tempo de ressonâncias que não é o tempo cronológico dos relógios, do capital, e do desenvolvimento. Vivemos um tempo acelerado e, quando refletimos sobre as práticas de escrita e leitura escolares, tal aceleração, vinculada à necessidade de produtividade, dispersa a atenção sobre como se escreve e como se lê. Diante disto, nos perguntamos: o que pode a escola no que diz respeito à constituição desse corpo leitor-escritor? Apostamos que ela pode muito, pois esta mesma escola é um dos poucos lugares em que, mesmo atravessado pela disciplinarização dos corpos e aceleração da vida, seja possível uma certa suspensão do tempo e do espaço mercadológicos.

Pemanfaatan Teknologi Smart Farming & Intelligent Imaging untuk Meningkatkan Sikap dan Kesadaran Konservasi Area Perkebunan Kopi
Authors: Sulianta Feri , Wahyu Ari
Published: August 2020

Indonesia merupakan negara agraris yang sebagian besar masyarakatnya hidup dan bekerja dengan bercocok tanam, sejak zaman kolonial Belanda daerah di Indonesia khususnya Jawa Barat telah menjadi daerah lumbung dan area penghasil perkebunan utama seperti teh, kopi, dan coklat. Sehingga munculah daerah penghasil produk perkebunan unggulan sebagai contoh daerah Pangalengan, Garut, dan daerah di kaki Gunung Ceremai dan Manglayang.

Saat ini salah satu produk perkebunan yang diunggulkan adalah kopi Jawa Barat yang dikenal dengan Jave Preanger yang sudah terkenal sejak zaman Belanda. Perkebunan kopi di Jawa Barat terletak pada ketinggian 900-1400 dpl. Hal tersebut menyebabkan cita rasa kopi yang diolah menjadi unik dan memiliki rasa yang kaya. Masalah utama yang dihadapi saat ini adalah rusaknya area hutan tempat kopi tersebut ditanam karena area perkebunan yang berubah menjadi sarana pemukiman, faktor yang mempengaruhi adalah kendala cuaca dan rusaknya tanaman yang disebabkan oleh hama dan hewan penggangu. Hal yang paling penting adalah bagaimana masyarakat sekitar yang berinteraksi dengan area perkebunan membantu melestarikan dan menjaga ekosistem agar terciptanya keseimbangan, menjaga eksosistem bukan hanya menjadi tugas petani tapi masyarakat yang ada di area perkebunan.

Pada zaman modern saat ini, implementasi dan pengawasan konservasi bisa menggunakan teknologi sistem Smart Farming, teknologi tersebut bisa dimanfaatkan untuk memonitoring lahan pertanian, keadaan tanah, dan jenis penyakit yang menyerang tanaman perkebunan di area tersebut. Sistem bisa dibuat secara mobile atau dibuat dengan menempatkan alat yang terkoneksi dengan sensor. Sistem ini memiliki akurasi ketepatan hingga 90% dalam ketepatan mendeteksi penyakit tanaman, dan sensor yang digunakan bisa digunakan untuk monitoring selama 24 jam.

Clothesline that is used in the community is still in the form of a manual so that the community must raise it directly. People
who have more interests or who work may not have to raise clothes directly so they have to leave their more important work. When
traveling or there are other jobs the community is still confused how to pick up clothesline with changing weather. From these problems,
a prototype model of automatic clothesline was built using Android-based Arduino, this is to simplify and shorten the time in lifting
clothesline or drying clothes when our weather changes. Having designed an automatic clothesline using Android-based Arduino. In
this study, the Arduino UNO microcontroller functions as a data processing center obtained from the LDR sensor to detect light, uses
a water sensor to detect rainwater and uses a DC motor to move the clothesline out / in, and uses the Bluetooth HC-05 module to move
the clothesline with Android. The test results show that this tool works well, when the device is turned on the sensor will check the
weather outside whether the weather is sunny or rainy. When the weather is sunny or hot outside, the clothesline will automatically
come out and if the weather outside is raining, the clothesline will automatically go inside. When the sensor does not function or has
trouble the automatic clothesline can be controlled via a smartphone that is connected to the Bluetooth HC-05 module.
