Published: July 2019

Fiber metal laminates (FMLs) are structural materials that play a vital role in the aviation sector, in which they are exposed to cyclic long-term loading. This article investigates creep response and rupture mechanisms of glass laminate aluminum reinforced epoxy (GLARE) FMLs based on microindentation creep testing. Specimens were manufactured by compression molding, and experiments were conducted under different test parameters, namely, aluminum surface treatment (in terms of surface roughness), creep chamber temperature, indentation load, and run time. In addition, rupture mechanisms were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. The individual interaction of control parameters on creep strain and mass loss response was studied using Taguchi method. Among the studied factors, specimen condition and creep chamber temperature predominantly control creep rupture, whereas load and time were less important, as confirmed by statistical predictions using linear regression.
The Statistical Scale Effect as a Source of Positive Genetic Correlation Between Mean and Variability: A Simulation Study
Authors: Tatliyer Adile , Cervantes Isabel , Formoso-Rafferty Nora , Gutiérrez Juan Pablo
Published: July 2019

The selection objective for animal production is the highest income with the lowest production cost, while ensuring the highest animal welfare. A selection experiment for environmental variability of birth weight in mice showed a correlated response in the mean after 20 generations starting from a crossed panmictic population. The relationship between the birth weight and its environmental variability explained the correlated response. The scale effect represents a potential cause of this correlation. The relationship between the mean and the variability implies: the higher the mean, the higher the variability. The study was to quantify by simulation the genetic correlation between a trait and its environmental variability. This can be attributable to the scale effect in a range of coefficients of variation and heritabilities between 0.05 and 0.50. The resulting genetic correlation ranged from 0.1335 to 0.7021 being the highest for the highest heritability and the lowest CV. The scale effect for a trait with heritability between 0.25 and 0.35 and CV between 0.15 and 0.25 generated a genetic correlation between 0.43 and 0.57. The genetic coefficient of variation (GCV) affecting residual variability was modulated by the strength reducing the impact of the scale effect. GCV ranged from 0.0050 to 1.4984. The strength of the scale effect might be in the range between 0 and 1. The scale effect would explain many reported genetic correlation and the additive genetic variance for the variability. This is relevant when increasing the mean of a trait jointly with the reduction of its variability.
LA DEFENSA DE LOS DERECHOS HUMANOS EN SEDE UNIVERSITARIA EN MÉXICO: AVANCES EN LA MATERIA A 32 AÑOS DE SU ESTABLECIMIENTO
Authors: Ramos Quiroz Francisco
Published: July 2019

A pesar de la complicada situación que impera en México a raíz de la violencia que se ha experimentado desde hace varios años, es innegable que el tema de los derechos humanos ha tenido un desarrollo vertiginoso a finales del siglo pasado, sobre todo tratándose del establecimiento de figuras defensoras de los derechos, inspiradas en el ombudsman de origen sueco. El vínculo entre los derechos humanos y la universidad ha sido muy importante en el desarrollo de estos, pues no es coincidencia que el primer organismo protector de los mismos en México, inspirado en la figura escandinava, se haya establecido en sede universitaria, cuando en 1985 la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México inauguró la Defensoría de Derechos Universitarios, hecho que tuvo repercusiones importantes y a partir de ese momento, diferentes universidades en todo el país han seguido el ejemplo al establecer organismos de defensa de los derechos al interior de sus comunidades, con lo que la defensa de estos en sede universitaria ha seguido avanzando cada vez más. En 2016 se llevó a cabo la firma de unos compromisos entre el Gobierno federal, la Comisión Nacional de los Derechos Humanos y la Asociación Nacional de Universidades e Instituciones de Educación Superior, en virtud de los cuales el tema de los derechos humanos en México se verá favorecido en los próximos años, pues las universidades se comprometieron de manera importante, en ese sentido, a través de la firma de la Carta Universitaria que es un documento vigente y obligatorio.
Spread of a surface plume in unsteady and steady flows
Authors: Anwar H. O.
Published: July 2019

A series of laboratory measurements was undertaken in unsteady and steady flows to determine the spread and mixing of surface plumes, emitting from a heat source without momentum. Instantaneous temperatures were measured in the vertical and lateral directions at various downstream sections; similar measurements were made when the ambient currents were steady. The mean temperature profiles in the lateral and vertical directions were of the Gaussian form in steady and unsteady flows. The outstanding results were those obtained when the flow was unsteady; the plume dilution, the plume spread and the turbulence intensity of temperature fluctuations were then larger than when the current was steady - their values were the maximum in decelerating flow.

Instantaneous velocities were measured at a section upstream from the heat source in unsteady and steady flows; the results showed that the mean velocity profiles were logarithmic irrespective of the flow state. Both the turbulence intensity in the mean flow direction and the Reynolds shear stress in the decelerating flows were substantially larger than those measured when the flows were accelerating. These results agreed reasonably well with those obtained in estuarine flows.

The temperature rise at the heat source was 10°C, hence the present results are also applicable to the case in which buoyancy is produced by a difference in concentration of dissolved materials.

Authors: Molano Tobar Nancy Janneth , Vélez Tobar Raquel Amalia , Rojas Galvis Efraín Alirio
Published: July 2019

Objetivo: Caracterizar la dimensión del ejercicio y la actividad física, así como su relación con la carga académica, de los estudiantes universitarios de Popayán-Colombia. Metodología: Cuantitativa de tipo descriptivo-correlacional con un muestreo aleatorio de 350 estudiantes de nueve facultades de una institución de educación superior durante el segundo período de 2016, se empleó el Cuestionario de estilos de vida en jóvenes universitarios ―CEVJU-R―. Resultados: Se identificaron prácticas “no saludables” cuya motivación para realizar ejercicio fue “mantener la salud” y la primera inspiración para no realizar esas prácticas fue ‘pereza’; además se evidenció diferencia significativa de las prácticas entre hombres y mujeres (p≤ 0,05), estableciendo una relación positiva entre carga académica y nivel de actividad física. Conclusiones: Los hombres presentaron prácticas más saludables que las mujeres; se comprobó también que los estudiantes que presentaron una carga académica alta obtuvieron calificaciones altas en dicha dimensión, por lo que se ubicó en el rango de prácticas “no saludables”, lo que se asocia con poca o baja actividad física.

Authors: Vidarte Claros José Armando , Vélez Álvarez Consuelo , Parra Sánchez José Hernán
Published: July 2019

To establish the relationship between levels of physical activity and body mass index in Colombian students. Materials and methods: Correlational descriptive study, performed with 2,651 children between 10-12 years of age, educated in both public and private institutions in six Colombian cities. Prior informed consent was signed by parents, and permission was given by student participants. A survey was applied, in order to collect sociodemographic variables, as was a physical activity form and lifestyle questionnaire (PAQ-C). Results: There was a 1:1 male-female ratio. Of the participants in the study, 36.1% were 10-year-old children. In 87% of overweight participants, physical activity levels were evaluated as low or very low. Of those who had normal body mass indexes, one in 10 performed moderate physical activity, and in underweight children, 81.6% had low or very low physical activity levels. Statistically significant differences in physical activity levels by both sex and age p<0.05 were revealed. Low levels of significant inverse correlation were found between physical activity and body mass index (-0.059 for the group total, and -0.070 and -0.046 for boys and girls, respectively). Conclusions: Physical activity and body mass index are significantly, differentially, and inversely associated. Physical activity should be promoted in children, as it directly impacts their body mass index, and both variables predict adult cardiovascular health.

Objective: Promotion of health allows to put into practice theoretical foundations that can improve health behaviors of the population, for which it is necessary to develop a health promoting lifestyle. A positive approach to generate health in young adults is to promote the salutogenic approach to health by encouraging the use of resources the person has and developing a sense of coherence. The main objective of this paper is to identify a health promoting lifestyle and its relationship with the sense of coherence in young adult university students in Sonora, Mexico. Materials and methods: descriptive, correlational study with 300 undergraduate students. Prior informed consent, a sociodemographic data card, the Life Style Questionnaire II and the Sense of Coherence-13 Scale were applied. Results: young adults showed enough general health promoting lifestyle (51.0%), with a higher incidence in women (52.1%). Health sciences students (55.2%) obtained an insufficient health promoting lifestyle and there was statistically significant difference by career. The general sense of coherence was high (52.0%), being predominant in men (58.0%) and in health sciences students (57.2%); there was no statistically significant difference according to gender and careers. It was evidenced that a sufficient health promoting lifestyle fosters the development of a high sense of coherence. Conclusions: it is essential to establish programs for the development of life skills to ensure better health and well-being of future generations of young adults by promoting the development of a sense of coherence.

Spline adjustment for modelling solar intermittences
Authors: López-Meraz Raúl Alberto , Hernández-Callejo Luis , Jamed-Boza Luis Omar , Gómez Víctor Alonso
Published: July 2019

One of the reasons why photovoltaic technology is not massively installed is its variation in production. This variation is due to intermittences in the solar resource. Based on real data from the microgrid of the Renewable Energy Development Center (CEDER, Spain) and another scenario in Xalapa (México), the study determines the solar intermittences produced and grouped monthly. The period of data acquisition, in the first study, was from May 30th, 2012 to March 3rd, 2015 with the help of a Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSNR) team; in the second, 2014 measurements were obtained from a meteorological station certified by the National Meteorological System (SMN). The analysis is based on the determination of monthly frames of reference for radiation by third-degree spline adjustments with smoothing, using the JUMP statistical application software (JMP © 2009, SAS Institute, version 8.0.2). The results of the analyses have provided important information to understand the unstable appearance of solar radiation and, in turn, will be the basis of a control system to optimize photovoltaic production.

Published: July 2019

This paper measures the efficiency of expenditure in health care in 62 countries of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), based on the ratio between the level of total expenditure (as percent of GDP) and some health results (life expectancy and mortality rates in children under five years of age per every 1000 children born alive). For this purpose, the non-parametric method data envelopment analysis was applied using data from 1995, 2005 and 2014 for each group. The results allow identifying the relative efficiency and position of the set of countries analysed within both groups of countries. In 2014, the most efficient countries in LAC were Chile, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Venezuela and Jamaica, whilst in the OECD these were Japan, Luxembourg and Turkey. The average efficiency of LAC countries turns out to be below that of the OECD (0.938 and 0.974, respectively).

Published: July 2019

This work describes a water quality model for heavy metals simulation in river systems. The proposed strategy comprises an 1D modeling approach with an ADZ-QUASAR extension to represent the behavior of heavy metals. This methodology seeks to strengthen their predictive capability based on the integration of variables which play an important role in the adsorption and desorption of these particles. The methodology was implemented in a reach of the Negro river (eastern side of Antioquia, Colombia), using Chromium, Copper and Nickel as heavy metals, because these are the heavy metals representative of the currents in the study area. Results are showing, with some degree of uncertainty, the capacity of the methodology to predict the behavior of environmental interesting substances, which makes it an important management tool.

Authors: Shamionov R.M.
Published: July 2019

The relationship between envy and the characteristics of economic well-being of the individual is an important basis for the social behavior it implements. The article studies the relationship between the envy of the individual and the characteristics of the objective and subjective economic status. The study involved 196 people (44% of men) aged M=28.6; SD=8.5. The technique used for the diagnosis of envy personality and subject areas of envy (T.V. Beskova), subjective economic well-being (V.A. Khashchenko), the scale of economic status (A.L. Zhuravlev and A.B. Kupreychenko). It is shown that the relationship of income with envy is limited to several areas — health, recreation, material wealth, professional success (negative). The lack of financial resources and the severity of negative emotional States in connection with financial and material problems are associated with envy of a large number of objects of possession of Others. As a result of structural modeling it is established that satisfaction of material needs is a mediator of connection of envy and economic anxiety and financial deprivation.

Published: July 2019

In the last decades we have witnessed increasingly pronounced climate change worldwide resulting in environment transformation in various regions by making it not convenient for agricultural and livestock production. The global livestock sector contributes to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emission, but on the other hand, it can also deliver a significant share of the necessary mitigation effort. One of the most significant greenhouse gas is methane. Mitigation methods for the methane emissions in cattle can be classified as short and long term. Short-term methods imply increase of production per animal, reduction of number of animals and feeding optimization, while long-term methods imply genetic evaluation and selection based on methane emission variation. Prerequisite for genetic evaluation is selection of optimal indicators and models with high accuracy and easy applicability in routine Animal Recording. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate different models for methane emission estimation in dairy cows based on Animal Recording data. The results obtained indicate that data from regular Animal Recording could be used in estimation of methane emission of dairy Simmental cows enabling the population analysis and genetic evaluation of dairy cattle for methane emission. Given the very high variability determined in estimated methane emission values regarding the used statistical models and aiming high accuracy of genetic evaluation it is recommended to define estimation models for body weight, dry matter intake and methane emission based on parameters (type traits and test-day records) of particular dairy cattle population. The stated will enable genetic evaluation of dairy cattle for methane emission as well as selection of cows with lower methane emission intensity. Finally, this will lead to environmentally sustainable milk production.

Kalcij i magnezij pripadaju skupini zemnoalkalijskih metala značajno zastupljenih u zemljinoj litosferi, odnosno skupini umjereno pokretnih makrohraniva koji imaju važnu ulogu u ishrani bilja. Svrha ovoga istraživanja jest usporedba količine ekstrahiranoga kalcija i magnezija otopinom amonijeva acetata (AA) i otopinom Mehlich 3 (Mehlich 3) iz tala
istočne Hrvatske. Ukupno 200 uzoraka oraničnih horizonata (0 - 30 cm) najzastupljenijih tipova tala prikupljeni su u pet županija istočne Hrvatske 2012. godine. Nakon određivanja pH vrijednosti i sadržaja ukupnih karbonata u tlu grupirani su uzorci tla (uzorci s manje od 3,5 i
više od 3,5% CaCO3). Utvrđeno je da metoda Mehlich 3 ekstrahira više kalcija i magnezija od metode AA, a razlike u količini ekstrahiranih kationa izraženije su kod karbonatnijih tala (>3,5% CaCO3), posebno za kalcij. U tlima s manjim sadržajem CaCO3 utvrđena je statistički vrlo
značajna korelaciju (P≤0,01) između metoda AA i Mehlich 3 u količini ekstrahiranoga kalcija i magnezija. Statistički je vrlo značajna korelacija (P≤0,01) utvrđena i između količina Mg AA i Mg Mehlich 3 u tlima sa sadržajem CaCO3 većim od 3,5%, što obje metode čini pogodnima za određivanje magnezija neovisno o sadržaju CaCO3 u tlu.
Novel Biomarkers of Pulmonary Hypertension
Authors: Gaynitdinova V. V. , Avdeev S. N.
Published: July 2019

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a clinical syndrome characterized by a progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), which leads to remodeling of the right ventricle (RV), right heart failure and premature death of patients. Early diagnosis and monitoring of disease progression are crucial for making decisions about the necessary therapy. The gold standard for the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension is the right heart catheterization. The estimation of systolic pressure in pulmonary artery by means of transthoracic echocardiography is also used for monitoring the course of the disease. At present, there is still a need for non-invasive biomarkers that reflect pathological changes in pulmonary arterial vessels and allow diagnosing of PH. Our review outlines the new data about some biomarkers potentially useful for diagnosis and prognostication of PH. These biomarkers (mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin, carboxyterminal pro-endothelin-1, copeptin, asymmetric dimethylarginine, growth differentiation factor 15, and others) are classified based on their relationship to endothelial cell dysfunction, inflammation, epigenetics, cardiac function, oxidative stress, extracellular matrix. The determination of biomarkers that are of diagnostic value for predicting the severity, progression of PH and response to therapy, in a simple blood test or condensate of exhaled air, can significantly reduce treatment costs and improve PH management.

Published: July 2019

Objectives: To investigate the efficacy of the bleb needling
revision (BNR) procedure with the adjunctive use of 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) in
encapsulated bleb after unsuccessful trabeculectomy. Methods: We reviewed 16 eyes of 15 subjects who underwent BNR
procedure due to encapsulated
bleb after unsuccessful trabeculectomy. Demographic data, type of glaucoma,
intraocular pressure (IOP) values of pre-BNR, IOP values of post-BNR at first
day, first week and first month, follow up time and complications were recorded
from patients’ files, retrospectively.
Results: The mean follow up time was
53.1 ± 26.4 weeks. The average
time between previous unsuccessful trabeculectomy and BNR was 11.12 ± 8.79 weeks. The mean IOP
of pre-BNR was 26.0 ± 4.4 mmHg and
significantly decreased to 12.4 ± 5.0 mmHg post-BNR at the first day (p <
0.001). The mean IOP values of post-BNR at the first week was 13.3 ± 4.9 mmHg
and at the first month was 14.8 ± 4.8 mmHg. According to the mean IOP of
pre-BNR, the mean IOP values of
post-BNR at the first week and at the first month were significantly lower (p <
0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). Seven (44%) eyes were achieved success and
eight (50%) eyes were achieved qualified success. One (6%) eye was
classified as the failure.

Conclusion: The bleb needling revision procedure with the
adjunctive use of 5-FU in encapsulated bleb after unsuccessful trabeculectomy
is a simple, useful and repeatable method to restore the dysfunctional bleb.

Da tradição às formas abertas: o papel da hermenêutica na constituição do texto musical contemporâneo
Authors: Peruzzolo-Vieira Samuel
Published: July 2019

Este trabalho pretende examinar a epistemologia da notação musical contemporânea e o seu meio comunicativo tanto no que se refere à qualidade semântica quanto à potência criativa. No momento em que o compositor elege uma notação que faz frente ao sistema vigente, a materialização do fazer composicional amplia o espaço ontológico da interpretação por meio de uma atividade que procura aproximar significado e compreensão. Neste sentido, procurou-se dialogar, por diferentes frentes, com o estado da arte atual sobre notação, representação e interpretação, numa tentativa de incutir um sentido de unidade e lógica próprias da hermenêutica moderna. A partir de uma discussão sobre a visão paradigmática da notação tradicional (ZAMPRONHA, 2000), a faculdade de desenvolver formas de notação não convencional ganha força à medida que se apresenta como multiplicadora de possibilidades. Em conclusão, a perspectiva apresentada neste artigo revela um modelo atual de pesquisa artística centrada sobre uma interação mediada entre compositor e intérprete, servindo-se da hermenêutica como fio condutor.

Telur asin merupakan produk hasil olahan telur yang diperoleh dengan cara penggaraman. Citarasa
yang muncul dari telur asin selama ini hanya asin. Selain itu pada telur asin masih sering tercium bau amis dan
bau busuk yang disebabkan karena tidak optimalnya proses penggaraman. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan
tersebut maka pada penelitian ini dikembangkan pembuatan telur asin rasa asap yang dihasilkan dengan
penambahan asap cair. Dalam penelitian ini dilihat perubahan kimia yang terjadi pada telur selama proses
perendaman dalam larutan garam dengan penambahan asap cair. Penelitian dilakukan dengan penambahan asap
cair pada konsentrasi 0%, 0,5%, dan 1% (v/v) dalam larutan garam 30% (b/v). Pada hari perendaman ke-8, 10,
dan 12 dilakukan analisa kadar air, kadar garam, kadar protein, dan kadar lemak. Selain itu juga dilakukan
pengujian sensoris oleh 20 orang panelis untuk menilai tingkat kesukaan panelis terhadap sembilan sampel
tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa selama proses perendaman telur dalam larutan garam dengan
penambahan asap cair terjadi perubahan kadar air, kadar garam, dan kadar protein. Akan tetapi kadar lemak tidak
mengalami perubahan. Telur asin yang dibuat dengan penambahan asap cair dengan konsentrasi 0,5 % dan
lama perendaman 8 hari merupakan telur asin yang paling disukai panelis.

Published: July 2019

Penggunaan kombinasi glukomanan dan tepung maizena diduga mampu menghasilkan edible film yang
kuat namun tetap elastis serta memiliki permeabilitas terhadap H2O yang rendah. Tahap pertama penelitian ini
adalah isolasi dan karakterisasi glukomanan dari umbi iles-iles. Randemen glukomanan yang dihasilkan sebesar
9,88%, sedangkan kadar air, abu, protein serta lemak kasar berturut-turut sebesar 10,84%, 3,77%, 1,70% serta
0,42%. Tahap kedua penelitian ini adalah karakterisasi sifat penghambatan dan sifat mekanik edible film
komposit glukomanan-maizena. Peningkatan konsentrasi glukomanan cenderung meningkatkan ketebalan,
kelarutan, kekuatan regang putus, maupun pemanjangan edible film, namun menurunkan laju transmisi uap
airnya. Laju transmisi uap air terendah yaitu edible film dengan penambahan glukomanan sebesar 15%. Tahap
ketiga yaitu mengetahui kemampuan edible film dalam menghambat susut berat serta pencoklatan buah apel
dengan cara coating. Hasil terbaik diperoleh pada film komposit glukomanan-maizena 15%, karena memiliki
susut berat terkecil yaitu 0,0597 g/jam dan kecerahan warna buah apel yang masih tidak beda nyata sampai hari
ke- 3 pengamatan.
