Authors: Wang Fang
Published: January 2016

Objective: To investigate the effect of nursing intervention on the psychological states of hemodialysis patients with uremia. Method: 57 hemodialysis patients with uremia who received regular hemodialysis in our hospital were gathered, and were divided into the control group and the research group randomly, between which the control group was treated giving routine life nursing care, while the research group was given psychological nursing care with the same treatment of the control group as a basis. Then, Zung Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) were used to evaluate the psychological states of hemodialysis patients with uremia before the intervention and five months after the intervention respectively. Result: Three months later, in the research group, the scores of SDS and SAS of those 27 hemodialysis patients with uremia reduced 5.7 points and 5.5 points respectively; the results were significantly higher than those of the control group, and differences were statistically significant. Conclusion: Reasonable and effective nursing intervention can relieve the anxiety and depression of hemodialysis patients with uremia and can prevent the development of bad psychological factors.

Authors: Li Yanping
Published: January 2016

The mortality of newborns due to pulmonary infection remains high, which raises a problem for modern nursing management. With the emerging and gradual maturity of the newborn major, the wide application of ventilator for newborns in the intensive care unit (ICU) becomes the important factor in the successful salvage of high-risk newborns. This has presented a problem, however, due to misoperation and other factors. This paper starts from the angles of diagnosis criteria and morbidity of Ventilator-associated Pneumonia (VAP) to analyse the pathogenic bacteria of VAP and the progress, to provide some thoughts for the development trend of modern nursing of VAP.

Land Subsidence Caused by Urban Metro Tunnel Construction
Authors: Hao Yang
Published: January 2016

With the development of urban transportation, city buses are unable to accommodate daily ground transportation for the public in life, work and study; therefore, urban metro gains rapid development. However, metro tunnel construction would initiate land subsidence issues which bring significant potential safety hazards and economic losses. In order to reduce irrelevant economic losses, this paper discusses the land subsidence issues from three perspectives: analysis of land subsidence, land subsidence safety judgment and control and shallow tunnel excavation method in tunnel construction used to control land subsidence. The paper indicates that there are major geotechnical engineering issues encountered during urban metro tunnel excavation process. The individuals in charge of implementation should optimize tunnel construction regulations and ensure all works are implemented scientifically, regularly and orderly in order to reduce the impacts on land subsidence caused by tunnel construction.

The intensity of negative emotions in pregnant women during hospitalization
Authors: Lewicka Magdalena , Wójcik Małgorzata , Sulima Magdalena , Makara-Studzińska Marta
Published: January 2016

Wstęp

Występowanie lęku i depresji u kobiet z ciążą o przebiegu fizjologicznym ma związek ze zmianami w trzech obszarach: biologicznym, psychicznym i społecznym. Komplikacje w przebiegu ciąży oraz konieczność hospitalizacji dodatkowo potęgują nasilenie negatywnych emocji u ciężarnych, dlatego ważne jest, aby podczas hospitalizacji, identyfikować pacjentki z objawami lęku, stresu lub depresji oraz wskazać czynniki, które mogą wpływać na wystąpienie negatywnych emocji.

Materiał i metody

Badania analizy nasilenia negatywnych emocji przeprowadzono wśród 305 ciężarnych hospitalizowanych. Narzędziem badawczym był samodzielnie opracowany kwestionariusz ankiety do oceny charakterystyki badanych ciężarnych oraz Skala Depresji, Lęku i Stresu (DASS – Depression Anxiety Stress Scale). Uzyskane wyniki badań poddano analizie statystycznej.

Wyniki

Średnia wartość poziomu stresu w badanej grupie według skali DASS wynosiła 12,15 ± 8,15 pkt, depresji 6,63 ± 6,62 pkt, a lęku 8,54 ± 6,26 pkt. Nie stwierdzono istotnie statystycznej zależności między nasileniem stresu i depresji a sytuacją położniczą badanych ciężarnych.

Wnioski

W badanej grupie kobiet nie stwierdzono zaburzeń depresyjnych, natomiast stwierdzono, że ciężarne hospitalizowane cechuje łagodne nasilenie lęku. Sytuacja położnicza nie warunkuje nasilenia negatywnych emocji wśród pacjentek z ciążą wysokiego ryzyka. Istotny wpływ na nasilenie lęku ma jedynie fakt planowania ciąży lub nie. Kobiety, które nie planują ciąży, mają istotnie wyższy poziom lęku aniżeli ciężarne, dla których obecna ciąża jest planowana. Personel medyczny powinien identyfikować ciężarne w trakcie hospitalizacji, u których występuje podwyższony poziom lęku w celu wdrożenia działań psychoprofilaktycznych. Okazanie pacjentkom troski i udzielenie wsparcia, zwłaszcza emocjonalnego, może prowadzić do zminimalizowania negatywnych emocji i zwiększenia skuteczności leczenia.
Attitude of Public towards Higher Education: Conceptual Analysis
Authors: Roy Anuja , Kareem Jacqueline
Published: January 2016

Indian higher education has never received much prominence when compared to the primary level. Academicians of our country have already pointed out that for economic and social well-being of our country majorly depends on the quality and widespread of higher education in our country. The main obstruction is the misconceptions by the general public of our country which is accompanied by the economic issues. The vision of Ministry of Human Resource and Development heads the department of Higher Education whose aim is to realize India’s human resource potential to its fullest in the education sector, with equity and excellence. Higher education is a costly affair when we take into consideration the fact that almost 20% of the population still lie under the poverty line. There is still a gap in the level of enrolment between males and females. The government is trying hard to overcome this disparity. Skills have often been ignored in our country’s scenario. Thus, higher education should also promote and encourage technical education. An All India Survey on Higher Education was initiated only in 2011, only because none of the sources had a complete picture of the data on higher education. The large amount of population is also a problem as it becomes difficult to cater to the needs of each individual or group. The resources are scarce when compared to the people demanding for it. We should try to identify the problems, and then we should work towards solving those problems. Public of our country should be willing to send their children for higher education; they should be having a positive attitude towards higher education. This paper discusses several steps that can be untaken to bridge the gaps in the system of higher education in India.
A score card approach to management education accreditation
Authors: Namaki MSS EL
Published: January 2016

Accreditation of business programs and institutions is a powerful industry in the United States and Europe. The industry has massive followers and holds sway over the fate of many an institution. World wide data are not easily accessible but some figures are indicative of the scale and scope of the industry. It is estimated that there are over 4,000 MBA programs in the US, offered by 454 institutions (AACSB, 2014). A multiple of that exists worldwide. Each and every of those institutions needs accreditation or a confirmation of the conformity of the institutional framework, the conversion process and the ultimate outcome with specific standards. The problem, however, is that the standards and those who measure them, have run out of steam, an issue that attracted many including some US politicians(WSJ, July 8, 2015). The following article explores today’s accreditation practice flaws and the potential for a substitute. The article starts with a brief critique of current practice. This is followed by an analysis of the three conceptual foundations of a substitute: systems thinking, metrics and the balanced score card. This alternative blends those conceptual foundations and suggests a novel accreditation instrument: the Program Accreditation Score card or PAS. The article further explores the tenants of this novel instrument and explores its applied dimensions. The article relies on several works on the issue of the accreditation of management education efforts. It refers to existing approaches practiced by key accreditation market leaders and explores some contextual literature. The article could lead to the introduction of a structural change in the conceptual framework and the operational tools of the management education accreditation industry.

Semiótica crítica: materialidades, acontecimento e micropolíticas
Authors: Da Silva Alexandre Rocha , Araujo André Corrêa da Silva de
Published: January 2016

Semiótica crítica: materialidades, acontecimento e micropolíticas têm por objetivo principal discutir a tese de que a linguagem é antes uma questão de política que de linguística. Para tanto, adota alguns procedimentos. Em primeiro lugar, caracteriza três fases do desenvolvimento da semiótica no século XX: a da descoberta, com Saussure e Peirce; a dos modelos e classificações; e a da crítica pós-estruturalista, foco deste estudo. Em segundo lugar, no âmbito desta crítica pósestrutural, caracteriza alguns vetores que sustentam o projeto de uma semiótica crítica: as materialidades, o acontecimento e as micropolíticas. Com tais relações problematizadas, o artigo procurou demonstrar que, reformulada, a semiótica permanece uma epistemologia em movimento contínuo de autogeração, aberta a críticas que a fizeram diferenciar-se de si para responder às questões postas aos problemas da linguagem e da comunicação no tempo presente.

Inquietudes e tensionamentos: pistas para a compreensão do futuro do rádio comercial em sua fase de convergência
Authors: Ferraretto Luiz Artur
Published: January 2016

Este artigo busca amparo teórico na economia política da comunicação para analisar as perspectivas do rádio comercial brasileiro em sua fase de convergência. Objetiva demonstrar o equívoco da sobrevalorização da tecnologia neste processo, assumindo tal prática como algo comum entre a classe empresarial. Para tanto, parte de proposições anteriores para a redefinição do conceito de rádio, considerando uma concepção plural para o meio, a linguagem específica empregada, a expansão em direção a outras mídias e a sua caracterização como uma criação cultural coletivamente desenvolvida. Trabalha, neste quadro teórico e conceitual, as estações comerciais na contemporaneidade por quatro pontos de vista tidos aqui como complementares: (1) o tecnológico; (2) o empresarial; (3) o profissional e de conteúdos; e (4) o do público.
Da agulha ao chip: brevíssima revisão dos estudos de recepção
Authors: Jacks Nilda Aparecida
Published: January 2016

Este texto retoma a passos largos a trajetória dos estudos de recepção para apontar o caráter sempre narrativo das teorias, dependendo do ponto de vista de quem narra. São vinculações teóricas e ideológicas que resultam em modos diferentes de conceber a história do campo, com inclusões e exclusões diferenciadas de teorias e correntes, que variam de autor para autor ao longo do tempo. São indicadas nomenclaturas que entraram em vigor no campo desde que este inaugurou suas atividades nos anos iniciais do século passado, fator crítico neste momento de transição do estatuto do receptor, que em muitos momentos torna-se produtor, um receptor-produtor. Algumas críticas sobre o alcance dos estudos de recepção para entender os processos comunicacionais contemporâneos, que atingem um alto grau de complexidade, são apresentadas. O estudo é concluído com algumas possibilidades de enfrentamento analítico que surgem a partir da própria tradição dos estudos de recepção ancorados nos estudos culturais, com possíveis arranjos com os estudos ciberculturais.
Consumo, sentidos, usos e apropriações nas pesquisas de recepção: nem tão sinônimos, nem tão distantes
Authors: Schmitz Daniela Maria
Published: January 2016

O artigo discute as aproximações e especificidades das noções de consumo, sentidos, usos e apropriações, conceitos tão caros para os estudos do chamado campo da recepção, principalmente da vertente latino-americana. Na reflexão são incluídas ainda, as distinções entre recepção e consumo midiático. Toma-se por base as proposições de García Canclini e Martín-Barbero, amparando-se ainda em definições de dicionários de filosofia e sociologia. A intenção é contribuir para o debate com algumas acepções, sobreposições e contradições destes termos para apresentar uma proposta que os distinga enquanto processo de aquisição simbólica de produtos midiáticos.
Sobre a Opinião Pública que já não o é – ao ter deixado de ser propriamente pública e também uma opinião
Authors: Esteves João Pissarra
Published: January 2016

O conceito sistêmico (N. Luhmann) de Opinião Pública tem como propósito assumir uma ruptura com a “velha” tradição (da modernidade) do pensamento político ocidental, em nome da complexidade crescente que caracteriza as atuais sociedades funcionalmente diferenciadas. Aqui propomos desenvolver uma discussão dos desafios que um tal conceito coloca a todos os que assumem um envolvimento mais ou menos direto com a comunicação pública, muito em especial para aqueles que o fazem na condição de profissionais desta área de atividade. São identificadas as insuficiências epistemológicas (em termos empíricos, mas também normativos) que este conceito apresenta – a Opinião Pública enquanto mera tematização de assuntos, que já não forma realmente qualquer opinião nem é motivo de uma construção propriamente pública; conferindo-se uma atenção mais especial os limites ético-morais com que esta visão inteiramente funcional das nossas sociedades – e da existência humana de um modo mais geral – se debate.
Procesos de ambientalización y transición agroecológica en el MST: reforma agraria popular, soberanía alimentaria y ecología política
Authors: Pinto Lucas Henrique
Published: January 2016

Buscaremos analizar en el presente artículo cómo la hegemonía del proyecto neoliberal en la economía mundial y los cambios productivos del régimen capitalista, llevaron al Movimiento de los Trabajadores Rurales Sin Tierra (MST) a incrementar también sus consignas, tanto por los avances oriundos de conflictos organizativos internos como también por su adecuación a las nuevas coyunturas hegemónicas. Problematizaremos estos procesos interrelacionando la nueva forma de pensar la reforma agraria con algunos puntos de la llamada cuestión ambiental, que no es según nuestra hipótesis, solamente una asimilación de un tema actualmente de moda, sino es la incorporación de un aspecto central en el debate sobre el actual estadio de las fuerzas productivas capitalistas y las externalidades producidas en los procesos de producción de mercancía. Cuestiones que problematizaremos en seguida a partir de entrevistas a miembros del Movimiento y sus impresiones sobre las dinámicas de tales procesos de ambientalización y transición agroecológica.
A corte, o chá e o voto: o consumo como arena política
Authors: Rocha Everardo , Frid Marina , Corbo William
Published: January 2016

O objetivo deste trabalho é examinar alguns dos mecanismos que articulam o fenômeno do consumo com a busca pelo poder e a atividade política em questões relacionadas ao caráter simbólico dos bens, a certas formas de comércio e às novas sociabilidades propiciadas pelos espaços de compra. Para tanto, serão analisadas três experiências históricas que representam de modo emblemático as relações entre consumo e política: A primeira trata das sociedades de corte dos reinados de Elizabeth I, na Inglaterra, e de Luís XIV, na França. A segunda, do boicote conhecido como a Festa do Chá de Boston, ocorrido durante a Revolução Americana. A terceira experiência analisa a parceria entre grandes magazines e sufragistas na luta pelos direitos femininos do início do século XX. Dessa forma, é possível mostrar alguns dos modos pelos quais, no mundo moderno, as representações e práticas de consumo se configuraram como arenas de expressão política.
Metáforas de identidad: del ‘mundo interior’ a las identidades virtuales
Authors: Vizer Eduardo Andrés , Carvalho Helenice
Published: January 2016

El concepto de identidad es una noción multiforme. Muchos autores lo han abordado desde la psicología a la sociología, la antropología y los Estudios Culturales. Históricamente hallamos primero una identificación con los dioses, la tierra y la sangre. En la Modernidad, el sujeto logra tomar suficiente distancia de su comunidad y sus circunstancias como para desarrollar un grado más elevado de autonomía individual. Ya en nuestras actuales sociedades mediatizadas, “lo real” no solo es mediatizado por las tecnologías de información y comunicación, sino recreada a través de tecnologías virtuales – y así reducible a ecuaciones, datos e información. Este proceso está reconfigurando nuestras identidades y éstas vienen sufriendo las transformaciones impuestas por el choque y la yuxtaposición entre los procesos de globalización y las culturas locales, distorsionando los mecanismos de identificación cultural, sus modelos, sus valores y estilos. Exponemos también, tres ‘dimensiones’ en las que se revelan y construyen los procesos identitarios: referencial, interreferencial y autorreferencial. Podemos finalmente preguntarnos como Nietzsche hace 100 años: ¿es que yo ya no soy yo? ¿Es que lo que ‘yo soy’, eso, para ustedes, no lo soy? ¿Es que me he vuelto otro? ¿Y extraño a mí mismo?

De fontes a agentes jornalísticos: a crítica de uma metáfora morta
Authors: Souza Leal Bruno , Carvalho Carlos Alberto
Published: January 2016

O artigo, a partir do mergulho em um vasto corpus de narrativas sobre homofobia e HIV/Aids em meios impressos e eletrônicos, discute os limites da noção usual de fontes jornalísticas, observando-as como agentes jornalísticos. O termo “fonte” é bastante recorrente nos processos jornalísticos e nos estudos acadêmicos, sendo quase sempre pouco problematizado. Na maioria das vezes, ou desenvolve-se um esforço classificatório das fontes ou elas surgem em abordagens que poderíamos identificar como “sob suspeita quanto aos seus reais propósitos”. Quase sempre, as fontes jornalísticas parecem ter vida somente na relação imediata e mecânica com o universo da produção noticiosa. São poucos os trabalhos, porém, que observam que o termo é uma metáfora bastante cristalizada e que, por isso mesmo, talvez tenha perdido seu potencial heurístico de apreensão do fenômeno jornalístico.

Formada em 31 de março de 1964, a autora testemunha a evolução da formação em jornalismo nos últimos 50 anos, enquanto louva a descoberta de modelos teóricos e práticos. Neste percurso, reencontra fatos que lhe alcançaram sucesso profissional e pessoal, entre eles, a estruturação familiar e uma de suas mais importantes conquistas: o Projeto transdisciplinar Saber Plural, coordenado pela autora na Escola de Comunicações e Artes da Universidade de São Paulo.
Early Planting, Full‐season Cultivars, and Seed Treatments Maximize Soybean Yield Potential
Authors: Vossenkemper Jacob P. , Nafziger Emerson D. , Wessel Jeff R. , Maughan Matt W. , Rupert Michael E. , Schmidt John P.
Published: January 2016

Recent findings in the midwestern United States have shown that planting soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] by early May often increases yield compared to planting in mid‐ to late May. These findings have encouraged earlier planting, but raise questions about how planting date might interact with other management factors. In 58 on‐farm trials in Illinois and Indiana in 2011 and 2012, we found that seed treatment (fungicide + insecticide + rhizobia inoculant) increased plant stand by 4200 plants per acre, with greater effects from early planting than with later planting. Seed treatment also increased yield, by an average of 1.2 bu/acre, but did not interact with planting date or maturity. Planting in late April increased yield only slightly (0.9 bu/acre) compared to planting in mid‐ to late May, and full‐season cultivars yielded 3.8 bu/acre more than short‐season cultivars. Full‐season cultivars yielded 5.5 bu/acre more than short‐season cultivars with early planting, but only 2 bu/acre more planted later. Yield of full‐season cultivars dropped by 2.7 bu/acre from early to normal planting, but those of short‐season cultivars remained unchanged. Although seed treatments may improve stands more with early planting, stands were adequate regardless of planting date or seed treatment, and the decision to use seed treatment can be made independently of cultivar or planting date. These results show that planting full‐season cultivars before short‐season ones, and perhaps choosing slightly fuller season cultivars in general, may improve soybean yields.
Nitrate Leaching from Soluble Nitrogen Applied to ‘Floratam’ St. Augustinegrass and Common Centipedegrass during Dormancy
Authors: Shaddox Travis W. , Unruh J. Bryan , Trenholm Laurie E.
Published: January 2016

Fertilizer bans in Florida prevent turf managers from applying nitrogen (N) fertilizers during periods of active turf growth and may encourage fertilization in fall and winter. Nutrient applications during fall or winter may pose an increased risk to nitrate N (NO3–N) leaching. A 3‐yr field lysimeter study was conducted in Jay, FL, to determine the effect of N rates on NO3–N leaching from ‘Floratam’ St. Augustinegrass (SA) [Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walter) Kuntze] and common centipedegrass (CE) [Eremochloa ophiuroides (Munro) Hack.] during turfgrass dormancy. Treatments consisted of urea applied as a foliar spray every 45 d beginning in October at rates of 0.0, 6.0, 12.5, 24.0, or 49.0 kg N ha−1. Leachate was collected weekly and analyzed for NO3–N. Elevated NO3–N levels were observed for 105 d after initiation (DAI). No differences in NO3–N leached were detected among N rates until the late winter cycle of 2008 when rainfall exceeded historic levels by 268 mm. The 49.0 kg N ha−1 treatment resulted in more NO3–N leached than untreated turf during 2008, with 12.5 and 1.3 kg NO3–N ha−1 leached, respectively. These findings suggest that N rates ≤24.0 kg ha−1 applied to dormant or semidormant warm‐season turf do not pose an increased threat of NO3–N leaching even when rainfall is excessive. Soluble N rates >24.0 kg ha−1 should be avoided during dormancy when excessive rainfall is imminent. The benefits, if any, need to be investigated further before fertilization of dormant warm‐season turf is recommended.

The objective of this study was to evaluate performance of a hybrid constructed wetland (CW) built for high organic content piggery wastewater treatment in a cold region. The system consists of four vertical and one horizontal flow subsurface CWs. The wetland was built in 2009 and water quality was monitored from the outset. Average purification efficiency of this system was 95 ± 5, 91 ± 7, 89 ± 8, 70 ± 10, 84 ± 15, 90 ± 6, 99 ± 2, and 93 ± 16% for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total carbon (TC), total nitrogen (TN), ammonium-N (NH4-N), total phosphorus (TP), total coliform (T. Coliform), and suspended solids (SS), respectively during August 2010–December 2013. Pollutant removal rate was 15 ± 18 g m−2 d−1, 49 ± 52 g m−2 d−1, 6 ± 4 g m−2 d−1, 7 ± 5 g m−2 d−1, and 1 ± 1 g m−2 d−1 for BOD5, COD, TN, NH4-N, and TP, respectively. The removal efficiency of BOD5, COD, NH4-N, and SS improved yearly since the start of operation. With respect to removal of TN and TP, efficiency improved in the first three years but slightly declined in the fourth year. The system performed well during both warm and cold periods, but was more efficient in the warm period. The nitrate increase may be attributed to a low C/N ratio, due to limited availability of carbon required for denitrification.

Increased stormwater runoff and pollutant loads due to catchment urbanisation bring inevitable impacts on the physical and ecological conditions of environmentally sensitive urban streams. Water sensitive urban design (WSUD) has been recognised as a possible means to minimise these negative impacts. This paper reports on a study that investigated the ability of infiltration-based WSUD systems to replicate the predevelopment channel-forming flow (CFF) regime in urban catchments. Catchment models were developed for the ‘pre-urban’, ‘urban’ and ‘managed’ conditions of a case study catchment and the hydrological effect on CFF regime was investigated using a number of flow indices. The results clearly show that changes to flow regime are apparent under urban catchment conditions and are even more severe under highly urbanised conditions. The use of WSUD systems was found to result in the replication of predevelopment flow regimes, particularly at low levels of urbanisation. Under highly urbanised conditions (of managed catchments) overcontrol of the CFF indices was observed as indicated by flow statistics below their pre-urban values. The overall results suggest that WSUD systems are highly effective in replicating the predevelopment CFF regime in urban streams and could be used as a means to protect environmentally sensitive urban streams.

Sewage sludge is a considerable source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission in the field of organic solid waste treatment and disposal. In this case study, total GHG emissions from sludge anaerobic digestion, including direct and indirect emissions as well as replaceable emission reduction due to biogas being reused instead of natural gas, were quantified respectively. The results indicated that no GHG generation needed to be considered during the anaerobic digestion process. Indirect emissions were mainly from electricity and fossil fuel consumption on-site and sludge transportation. Overall, the total GHG emission owing to relative subtraction from anaerobic digestion rather than landfill, and replaceable GHG reduction caused by reuse of its product of biogas, were quantified to be 0.7214 (northern China) or 0.7384 (southern China) MgCO2 MgWS−1 (wet sludge).

This study aimed to investigate the antibiotic concentration at each stage of treatment and to evaluate the removal efficiency of antibiotics in different types of secondary and advanced treatment, as well as the effects of the location of their discharge points on the occurrence of antibiotics in surface water. Eight target antibiotics and four hospital wastewater treatment plants in Bangkok with different conventional and advanced treatment options were investigated. Antibiotics were extracted by solid phase extraction and analysed by high performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). The antibiotic with the highest concentration at influent was cefazolin at 13,166 ng/L, while the antibiotic with the highest concentration at effluent was sulfamethoxazole at 1,499 ng/L. The removal efficiency of antibiotics from lowest to highest was sulfamethoxazole, piperacillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole, dicloxacillin, ciprofloxacin, cefazolin, and cefalexin. The adopted conventional treatment systems could not completely remove all antibiotics from wastewater. However, using advanced treatments or disinfection units such as chlorination and UV could increase the antibiotic removal efficiency. Chlorination was more effective than UV, ciprofloxacin and sulfamethoxazole concentration fluctuated during the treatment process, and sulfamethoxazole was the most difficult to remove. Both these antibiotics should be studied further regarding their contamination in sludge and suitable treatment options for their removal.

Selenium is a microelement of big importance for male reproduction. As a part
of the antioxidative enzyme gluthationperoxidase and structural Se proteins,
it plays pivotal role in the defense of spermatozoa against generated ROS and
in ensuring of its motility. During the last years the interests to the
organic forms of selenium was enhanced because of its better biological
utilization. The present work aimed to study the effect of injective
application of organic compound selenopyran in rams on the distribution of
selenium content in blood and sperm and on the changes in sperm quality. The
experiment was conducted with 5 rams from the Synthetic Population Bulgarian
Milk breed at the age between 3-7 years and live weight 85-90 kg. The animals
were injected once with an oil solution of the selenopyran in dose of
0.1mg/kg live weight (selenium content 24%) 45 days before starting the
breeding season. The blood was collected before treatment and 45 days
thereafter. At the same time the first and second ejaculates of rams were
collected using artificial vagina and analyzed by Sperm Class Analyzer. The
selenium content was measured in plasma, blood cells and sperm by atomic
absorption spectrometry using SpectrAA 55B double beam spectrometer (Varian,
Inc.). The results showed that one injection of organic compound of selenium
- selenopyran in dose of 0.1mg/kg live weight ensured the increase and
support of high level of selenium in blood (plasma and blood cells) and in
sperm during investigated period. That lead to the proper spermatogenesis in
testis and allowed the production of qualitative ejaculates with higher
number of total spermatozoa as well as of spermatozoa with progressive
motility.

Several production traits have been examined in 180 Ovchepolian sheep during
a four-year production period (2010-2013). The sheep ranged in age from the
first to the 7th lactation and 4319 individual lactation controls were
realized in total. Besides the basic statistics, all data were analysed using
a multi-factorial fixed model. The influence of certain factors was studied
using the F-test and the analyses were made using the SPSS set of programs.
Most of the factors (year, lactation, lambing month and number of milk
recording) had a highly significant influence (P<0.001) on daily milk
production (milk from the morning, evening and the total amount of milk, % of
milk fat and kg fat) in this breed of sheep. The month of milk recording also
had a significant influence (P<0.05) on all traits. Only fertility had no
impact on the variations in the tested parameters, aside from the total daily
milk, on which a highly significant influence was manifested (P<0.01). The
average milk lactation among the tested sheep population during all four
years was, on average, 58 ? 0.247 l, while the production of milked milk for
the same period was 37 ? 0.217 l. The length of the lactation period in these
sheep for the four years studied averaged 182 ? 0.31 days. The maximal daily
milk yield in this sheep population was measured in 2011 (0.302 ? 0.26 l).
Regarding their age, the highest daily milk yield was determined in sheep in
the third lactation (0.365 ? 0.26), while those in the 7th lactation had the
lowest (0.255 ? 0.27).

The aim of this study was to provide information on the fatty acid profile of
different adipose depots - subcutaneous (upper and inner backfat layers) and
intramuscular (m. Longissimus dorsi) in East Balkan pigs. The animals were
reared in free-range conditions and slaughtered at an average live weight of
107?1.65kg. The results of the study showed that the various adipose tissues
in pigs have different lipid metabolism and hence differ in their fatty acid
composition. Intramuscular fat had significantly higher content of the
saturated C16:0 and C18:0 (P<0.001), as well as the C16:1 (P<0.001) than the
subcutaneous fat. In regards to the content of the polyunsaturated fatty
acids, the latter displayed considerably higher content of both C18:2 and
C18:3 (P<0.001) in comparison to the intramuscular fat in m. Longissimus
dorsi. The differences between the subcutaneous and intramuscular adipose
tissue in the individual fatty acids determined the similar trend of change
in the total content of saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Significant differences between the backfat layers were detected for C16:1,
C18:0 and C18:3 (P<0.001). Stearic acid (C18:0) displayed higher content of
the inner, while both C16:1 and C18:3 had higher proportion in the outer
backfat layer in the East Balkan pigs. Except for C20:2, the long chain
polyunsaturated n-6 and n-3 fatty acids had significantly higher proportions
in the intramuscular fat, however no differences were determined between the
two backfat layers.
The spatial context of the cinematic aspect of architecture
Authors: Andjelkovic Katarina
Published: January 2016

This paper presents the findings, conclusions and results of my PhD research
entitled, "The spatial context of the cinematic aspect of architecture". The
purpose of this paper is to present the possibilities of adopting the
cinematic qualities of architecture as an approach to tracing current
modifications in contemporary architectural discourse in relation to the
paradigmatic change of perception of urban space towards a movement
perspective. The design process tradition, which comprises a standard series
of procedural exercises aided by new technology, is in contrast to the
experimental architectural research of the last decade that has clearly
demonstrated the tendency to enrich the limited traditional approach in order
to extend human vision beyond what is perceivable. Accordingly, I propose
that we can test the cinematic aspect of architecture, first having
harmonized the relationship between architecture and film through their
common methodological and didactic approaches. To verify the cinematic aspect
of architecture in theory, practice and education, and to maintain the level
of creativity present in design practice, I initiated a reassessment of
current design practice and proposed alternative architectural design
strategies.
