Analisis Pengaruh Penggunan Uang Elektronik Terhadap Perilaku Konsumtif Mahasiswa
Authors: Insana Dwi Rorin Mauludin , Johan Ria Susanti
Published: August 2021

The purpose of this study was to analyze whether there was an effect of the use of electronic money on the consumptive behavior of students at the University of Indraprasta PGRI. The research method in this research is a survey method with a questionnaire. The population studied was 430 people with a sample of 81 people. Based on the research results, the sensitivity level of consumptive behavior towards the use of electronic money itself is 32% which is indicated by the regression coefficient Y = 42.26 + 0.32X. While the correlation coefficient shows r = 0.325 and the coefficient of determination (KD) of 10.56%. In the hypothesis test, the value of tcount> ttable is 3.085> 1.664. Then the hypothesis is that Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected. This means that there is a significant influence between the use of electronic money on the consumptive behavior of students of economic education at Indraprasta PGRI University. From the results above, it can be concluded that there is a positive and significant influence but has a low correlation with the contribution of using electronic money to student consumptive behavior by 10.56% and the remaining 89.44% is influenced by other factors.

Minimal Size of Counters for (Real-Time) Multicounter Automata
Authors: Geffert Viliam , Bednárová Zuzana
Published: August 2021

We show that, for automata using a finite number of counters, the minimal space that is required for accepting a nonregular language is (log n)ɛ. This is required for weak space bounds on the size of their counters, for real-time and one-way, and for nondeterministic and alternating versions of these automata. The same holds for two-way automata, independent of whether they work with strong or weak space bounds, and of whether they are deterministic, nondeterministic, or alternating. (Here ɛ denotes an arbitrarily small—but fixed—constant; the “space” refers to the values stored in the counters, rather than to the lengths of their binary representation.) On the other hand, we show that the minimal space required for accepting a nonregular language is nɛ for multicounter automata with strong space bounds, both for real-time and one-way versions, independent of whether they are deterministic, nondeterministic, or alternating, and also for real-time and one-way deterministic multicounter automata with weak space bounds. All these bounds are optimal both for unary and general nonregular languages. However, for automata equipped with only one counter, it was known that one-way nondeterministic automata cannot recognize any unary nonregular languages at all, even if the size of the counter is not restricted, while, with weak space bound log n, we present a real-time nondeterministic automaton recognizing a binary nonregular language here.
FORENSIC ACTIVITY AS AN OBJECT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL REGULATION
Authors: Ovsiannykova I.
Published: August 2021

Any society today is a system consisting of certain objects and entities that constantly interact with each other, it requires introducing an effective social and administrative mechanism that would timely regulate the social relations and norms of participants’ behavior of such relationships, maintain their organization, orderliness and stable development, contributing to proper regulatory order.

 

Observing the political steps of the Ukrainian government along the path of European standards, we can argue about the actualization of democratic values implementation and the establishment of an effective state power system, where the content and focus of the state determine human rights and freedoms.

 

Considering the above, the analysis of problematic issues arising during the study of the administrative regulation effectiveness of forensic activities is an urgent need today.

 

Based on the analysis of scientific sources and Ukrainian legislation, forensic activity in the article is considered as one of the administrative and legal regulation objects, the purpose of which is to establish the rule of law and strengthen institutions at all levels in the field of management in general and in law enforcement and judicial authorities in particular on the basis of the principle of human rights and fundamental freedoms respect. It should also be borne in mind that forensic science occupies a special place in implementation of the principle of rule of law and citizens’ rights and freedoms protection, since the effective functioning of the constitutional foundations of the entire human rights system of power in Ukraine largely depends on it. Thus, the current legislation of Ukraine, as part of the ongoing legal reform, should be aimed at enhancing the role and reassessing the importance of forensic examinations institution, without which investigation of the case cannot be effectively carried out and the crime solved.
THE USE OF SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE WHILE IDENTIFICATION, PREVENTION AND INVESTIGATION OF CRIMES IN THE FIELD OF COMPUTER-BASED INFORMATION AND HIGH TECHNOLOGIES (Review Article)
Authors: Filipenko N. , Snigerov O. , Bublikov A.
Published: August 2021

The article analyzes conceptual foundations, views and ideas on understanding the essence and forms of using special knowledge while detecting and investigating crimes in the field of computer-based information and high technologies, and addresses its concepts.

The relationship between similar concepts of forensic expert and third party expert has been traced, since one of the main problems considered in the framework of forensic examination is ambiguity of both scientific understanding and practical application of the corresponding conceptual-categorical apparatus. In our opinion, special knowledge in detecting and investigating crimes in the field of computer-based information and high technologies implies knowledge in various fields of science, including law, technology, arts and crafts, in relation to the field of computer-based information and high technologies, obtained within the framework of professional or special education, professional activity, as well as knowledge of theory, skills and abilities, and used by participants in civil, arbitration, administrative and criminal proceedings in order to establish circumstances to be proven in a particular case, in the manner provided by relevant procedural legislation of Ukraine.

Published: August 2021

This article is devoted to the topical problem of forensic handwriting analysis: research on short simple signatures and on solution of identification and diagnostic problems regarding such objects.

On the basis of examples from forensic expert practice in Hon. Prof. M. S. Bokarius Kharkiv Research Institute of Forensic Examinations, the possibility of solving forensic handwriting problems while the study of short and simple signatures is illustrated. It is noted that current methodical state of forensic science institutes of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine allows to conduct forensic handwriting analysis as well as forensic handwriting research on these objects using traditional methods.

While solving such issues, the general method of scientific cognition: dialectical materialism; Empirical research method; the method of analysis and synthesis; observation, experimentation and modelling methods; instrumental method, measuring method; qualitatively descriptive method have been used.

Research proved possibility of identification and diagnostic forensic handwriting tasks solution while the study of short simple signatures provided that forensic experts have a sufficient amount of informative comparative material. The present subjective approach in defining “suitability” of low- informative objects for solution of identification and diagnostic issues is stressed in the article. Success while solving the indicated forensic handwriting tasks depends on the professional level of forensic expert.
Possible Tetraquark Explanation for the X(6200)
Authors: Bevelacqua Joseph
Published: August 2021

The recently proposed X(6200) structure is investigated using a first-order tetraquark mass formula. This mass relationship is based on weakly bound J/Ψ plus J/Ψ meson clusters and provides a reasonable prediction (within about 1.5%) of the derived X(6200) mass. The spin-parity assignments are also consistent with the derived values.
Invariant method for measuring wet gas flow rate
Authors: Dayev Zhanat А. , Shopanova Gulzhan E. , Toksanbaeva Bakytgul А.
Published: August 2021

The article deals with one of the important tasks of modern flow measurement, which is related to the measurement of the flow rate and the amount of wet gas. This task becomes especially important when it becomes necessary to obtain information about the separate amount of the dry part of the gas that is contained in the form of a mixture in the wet gas stream. The paper presents the principle of operation and structure of the invariant system for measuring the flow rate of wet gas, which is based on the combined use of differential pressure flowmeters and Coriolis flowmeters. The operation of the invariant wet gas flow rate measurement system is based on the simultaneous application of the multichannel principle and the partial flow measurement method. Coriolis flowmeters and the differential pressure flowmeter are used as the main elements of the system. The proposed measurement system does not offer applications for gases with abundant drip humidity. The article provides information about the test results of the proposed invariant system. The estimation of the metrological characteristics of the invariant system when measuring the flow rate of wet gas is given. The obtained test results of the invariant wet gas flow rate measurement system are relevant for natural gas production, transportation, and storage facilities.

Method for measuring the Q-factor of miniature open dielectric resonators at ultrahigh frequencies
Authors: Gevorkyan Vladimir M. , Kazantsev Yury A. , Shutov Aleksandr V.
Published: August 2021

A simple algorithm for reliably determining the Q-factor of an open dielectric resonator made of a material with a tgδ less than 0.0001 in the shielded region is presented, based on measuring the parameters of an electromagnetically coupled system of bulk metal and open dielectric resonators. The analytical substantiation of the considered method for determining the Q-factor of an open dielectric resonator in electrodynamic and electrotechnical representations is carried out. The variants of the influence of the metal volume on the effective Q-factor of an open dielectric resonator depending on its electrophysical characteristics are considered. The factors affecting the effective Q-factor of an open dielectric resonator obtained using this measurement method are evaluated, and the range of expected measurement errors is shown. The advantage of the method for determining the Q-factor of an open dielectric resonator is the high accuracy of the obtained analytical ratios for determining the Q-factor, the absence of increased requirements for the accuracy of the measurement sections and the quality of the internal surfaces of the metal resonator, the simplicity of the measurement process, based on the use of ordinary equipment and element base.
The nonprofit board servant leader : a quantitative analysis of servant leadership behavior in nonprofit board presidents from the perception of nonprofit chief staff officers using Liden's global servant leadership scale
Authors:   , Harris Chad E.
Published: August 2021

The purpose of this quantitative research study was to fill the gap in the current body of research regarding the leadership behavior characteristics, specifically servant leadership traits, exhibited by volunteer nonprofit board of director presidents. Using Liden's (2008, 2015) Global Servant Leadership Scale, a survey instrument was developed and administered to chief staff officers of nonprofit organizations, asking respondents to reflect on the behavior traits of their nonprofit's board president. Data from the study participants (n [equals] 133) were analyzed to determine a) if servant leadership behavior is exhibited in nonprofit board presidents and to what extent; b) if differences exist in the servant leadership traits of 501(c)3 nonprofit board presidents and the presidents of other types of 501(c) nonprofit organizations; and, c) if a difference exists between servant leadership behavior in board presidents and the nonprofit organization characteristics of organization focus, annual budget size, and geographic scope of the organization's mission, and demographic characteristics of nonprofit board presidents including age, tenure, length of volunteer involvement, and gender identity. The study addresses gaps in the current literature by advancing empirical research using a reliable and valid instrument to assess servant leadership and the use of empirical research in the nonprofit sector to study the leadership behavior of nonprofit board presidents. The findings of the study suggest that nonprofit board presidents do exhibit servant leadership behavior, as defined by Liden's seven dimensions (emotional healing, creating community value, conceptual skills, empowering, helping others grow and succeed, putting others first, and behaving ethically). On average nonprofit board presidents score highest in exhibiting behaving ethically and empowering. The sample studied scored lowest on average in putting others first and helping others grow and succeed. The study findings found significant difference in the behavior dimensions of creating community value, putting others first, and behaving ethically between nonprofit board presidents of city/locally focused nonprofits and those with a inter/national geographic service scope. Additionally, significant difference was found in leadership behavior of the dimension conceptual skills between nonprofit board presidents age 40 to 55 and those age 56 to 75 years old.
Anti-Calvinist? : ceremonial conformity and Laudian writing, reconsidered (c. 1590-1640)
Authors:   , Knapp Travis
Published: August 2021

In recent studies of religion in early modern England, scholars have come to the consensus that the religious identity of the Church of England was never quite as stable or uniform as commonly perceived, with a wide variety of religious beliefs and practices coexisting in practice and print. While a significant portion of work has been done exploring the various ranges of puritan thought, diminishing the restrictive stereotypes of the often-derogatory label, less work has been done on the Laudians, a group of English churchmen known for their ceremonial worship practices, often considered to be uniformly anti-Calvinist or anti-puritan, marked partially by their (exclusive) emphasis on external markers of worship. This dissertation examines a wide range of Laudian texts, most published between 1610 and 1633 across the genres of court sermons, private devotionals, polemics, and poetry, to explore the various nuances of Laudianism. It argues that, in practice and especially before William Laud became Archbishop of Canterbury, the religious ideology now called Laudianism was less exclusive and authoritarian than commonly assumed. Rather than target Calvinist critics to force conformity in gesture, sacramental and liturgical observance, Laudian writers seek to reform religious behavior amenably. While Laudians do emphasize external worship practices, these practices are informed by internal markers of piety, where the external shows of worship become meaningless if the worshippers' hearts and souls are not oriented to the worship and service they display with their bodies.
Social innovation skills development in project-based capstone classes in civil engineering : a case study of the civil engineering program at the University of Missouri Kansas City
Authors:   , Marin Ruiz Sandra Delina
Published: August 2021

Engineering schools play a key role in developing students' skills to appeal to an increasingly socially responsible job market. To do so, engineering educators must teach future professionals "social innovation skills": the ability to identify a community's social needs and transform this information into innovative technical solutions. This study explored to what extent do engineering students exhibit social innovation skills in an industry-driven capstone project in the program of civil engineering at a Midwestern research-intensive institution. A qualitative case study was used on a civil engineering capstone design class where data collection included interviews, document review, and thematic analysis. The results suggest new directions for future research, such as integrating community engagement and learning the structure of the government as platforms to facilitating social innovation skill learning among engineering students. I proposed the new concept of Engineering Social Innovation Skills: complex social problem solving, integrated skills to interact with communities, creativity to address social needs, and community-driven systems thinking. "Social impact" was found as a critical element to foster social innovation skill learning. This dissertation offers insights into potential curriculum improvement for engineering capstone classes and suggests new avenues for future research and career opportunities.
Exploring rural administrator perspectives of the decline in science and math secondary education graduates from a regional public university in a Midwestern state over the last ten years : a case study
Authors:   , Powell Kelsey
Published: August 2021

There has been a marked decline in the number of graduates from the secondary education science and math program at a regional public university in a Midwestern state over the last ten years. Using qualitative and quantitative data gathered from interviews and surveys, this study revealed that this trend damages the ability of rural schools in the service area of this university to find and staff highly qualified science and math teachers in their high schools; thereby, unfairly impacting rural school students opportunities to learn from highly qualified teachers in those disciplines. To address the struggles that rural school administrators and students face because of this troubling reality, this study constructed its recommendations to directly combat the issues related to production of new teachers from this university and staffing teachers in rural schools.
Stochastic forms of functional isoperimetric inequalities
Authors:   , Rebollo Bueno Jesus
Published: August 2021

The Brunn-Minkowski and Prekopa-Leindler inequalities admit a variety of proofs that are inspired by convexity. Nevertheless, the former holds for compact sets and the latter for integrable functions, so it seems that convexity has no special significance. On the other hand, it was recently shown that the Brunn-Minkowski inequality, specialized to convex sets, follows from a local stochastic dominance for naturally associated random polytopes. In addition, a number of other geometric inequalities for convex sets arising from Brunn's concavity principle have recently been shown to yield local stochastic formulations, e.g., the Blaschke-Santalo inequality. In the first part of this dissertation, we study reverse inequalities for functionals of polar convex bodies invariant under the general linear group. We strengthen planar isoperimetric inequalities; we do that by attaching a stochastic model to some classical ones, such as Mahler's Theorem, and a reverse Lutwak-Zhang inequality, for the polar of L[subscript p] centroid bodies. In particular, we obtain the dual counterpart to a result of Bisztriczky-Boroczky. For the rest of the dissertation, we initiate a systematic study of stochastic isoperimetric inequalities for random functions. We show that for the subclass of log-concave functions and associated stochastic approximations, a similar stochastic dominance underlies the Prekopa-Leindler inequality. Ultimately, we extend the latter result by developing stochastic geometry of s-concave functions. In this way, we establish local versions of dimensional forms of Brunn's principle a la Borell, Brascamp-Lieb, and Rinott. To do so, we define shadow systems of sconcave functions and revisit Rinott's approach in the context of multiple integral rearrangement inequalities.
Interactions between neuroanatomy, cognition, and ecology in Anolis lizards
Authors:   , Storks Levi
Published: August 2021

The interactions between an organism and its environment are mediated by cognition, the substrates of which are in the brain. Cognition is ubiquitous across vertebrates, yet we still know very little about the factors shaping its evolution, particularly outside of birds and mammals. In natural environments, cognition likely impacts organism fitness. Behavioral flexibility, which enables an animal to modulate its behavior to match its environment, may facilitate success in novel habitats, such as in dispersal to islands, biotic invasions, and urban adaptation. Cognitive specializations may also be associated with specific ecological traits, such as habitat complexity. Furthermore, our understanding of the neural substrates of cognition in the brain is primarily limited to studies of relative brain size. The first chapter provides a more in depth introduction to these topics. In this dissertation, I explore the interactions between cognition, neuroanatomy, and ecology in Anolis lizards. Anolis lizards exhibit a diversity of habitat specializations, which is the result of adaptive radiation in the West Indies. As mentioned above, cognitive mechanisms in anoles may play a role in adjusting to novel environments and exploiting new niches. In the second chapter, I modified a detour task to evaluate whether wild, free-living Anolis sagrei can solve a novel detour problem under natural conditions. In the second chapter, I compare the neuron and nonneuron number and density of Anolis cristatellus and Anolis evermanni to see whether differences in neuroanatomy reflect their differential performance on an extractive foraging task. I also explore how these data relate to published observations from other vertebrates. Finally, in the fourth chapter I expand upon two previous studies by evaluating whether neuron number follows the predictions of concerted or mosaic evolution in five species of Puerto Rican Anolis and whether habitat complexity explains differences in neuron density between species. I conclude in the final chapter by summarizing my results and outlining future directions. Taken together, the results presented in this dissertation demonstrate the potential for studying cognition and neuroanatomy in an evolutionary context. The methods applied in my second chapter can be used in the future to explore the connection between cognition and fitness in lizards, which are a tractable model for such studies under natural conditions. My third and fourth chapters took a novel approach by studying neuroanatomical differences between species in neuron number and density, and generated novel insights into brain evolution in Anolis. By studying cognition and the brain in lizards and other ectotherms, we can begin to finally understand factors shaping the evolution of cognition and neuroanatomy across vertebrates.
Propaganda, masculinity, and the French interwar novel
Authors:   , Webster Courtney
Published: August 2021

My dissertation centers on literary representations of non-normative gender performances, the struggle around new gender norms, and the lived realities of gender in pre- and post-World War I- (WWI) era France. The novels discussed in this study, L'Immoraliste (Andr√© Gide, 1902), Ch√©ri and La Fin de Ch√©ri (Colette, 1920 and 1926, repectively), and Voyage au bout de la nuit (C√©line, 1932) all depict how WWI significantly disrupted French life and troubled gender roles in nearly all environments. The novels that I analyze reveal, in particular, how French manhood became a source of nationalist anxiety in this era, as masculinity was seen as weakened by prior French military defeats and the so-called "excesses" of the belle √©poque. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the dissertation puts WWI-era novels in dialogue with the visual culture of war propaganda found in French government-sponsored propaganda posters. As I show, propaganda posters heavily promoted heteronormative standards of French masculinity, disseminated images of the ideal French male as physically powerful, courageous, and ready to defend family and nation, and reminded young French men that they carried the weight of defending not only the nation, but the future of French masculinity and the health of the population more broadly. As my study argues, novels by Colette, Gide, Celine, and others call into question WWI propagandized gender norms by imagining alternative gender performances and creating spaces for self-determined gender performances. My dissertation thus argues that novels by Gide, Colette, C√©line, and others demonstrate that the normative standards encountered in WWI propaganda were, in fact, fictions that belied the lived realities of gender.
Authoritatively speaking : a speech pragmatic analysis of authority and power
Authors:   , Willsey Alek
Published: August 2021

A speaker needs authority to perform some speech acts, such as giving orders. A paradigm example of this is when a manager orders their employee to take out the trash; ordinarily, these words will give the employee a normative reason of considerable strength for them to take out the trash, and so they should take out the trash, all things considered. I will explore three related problems regarding a speaker's authority. First, there is the problem of defining how and within what scope a speaker has the capacity to set norms for others -- I will call this the Authority Problem. An answer to the Authority Problem would settle what constitutes a manager's capacity to change the normative status of their employee. Second, there is the problem of showing how a speaker uses their authority to produce felicitous authoritative speech -- I will call this the Illocutionary Authority Problem. An answer to this problem will show how a manager exercises their capacity to alter the normative status of their employee, assuming they have such a capacity. Third, there is the problem of explaining how a speaker's right to produce authoritative speech can be systematically infringed -- I will call this the Problem of Discursive Injustice. An answer to this problem will explain how a manager can have their orders systematically misfire despite exercising their capacity to alter the normative status of others in the usual way, such as when the employee routinely misapprehends their manager's orders as being requests. To answer each of these problems within the philosophy of language, I draw on recent work in social and political philosophy. I defend the view that a speaker's authority to alter what someone else ought to do (by giving them and taking away normative reasons for action) is constituted entirely by the respect their addressee(s) have for their use of power directed at them. Further, a speaker's powers are the linguistic tools by which they attempt to exert this normative influence over their addressee(s). Finally, a speaker may be discursively entitled to use their power in specific institutions because of the role they occupy, and this speech can systematically misfire despite this entitlement because they are wrongfully deprived of the respect they deserve.
Leveraging rhetorical style to reduce the existential threat of inclusive messaging
Authors:   , Womick Jake
Published: August 2021

Diversity and representation are among the most pressing issues facing the modern world. Communications designed to promote diversity involve numerous dimensions. Here, I focused on two separable dimensions: What is conveyed by a message (inclusive vs. exclusive messaging), and how that message is expressed (pluralistic vs. non-pluralistic rhetoric). Inclusive messages and pluralistic rhetoric emphasize the validity of many different solutions to life's challenges. Exclusive messaging and non-pluralistic rhetoric instead convey one valid answer. I tested whether non-pluralistic rhetorical style (vs. pluralistic rhetorical style) can be leveraged to buffer the existential threat posed by inclusive (vs. exclusive) message content. Study 1 (N [equals] 1,581) showed that exposure to inclusive messaging about what it means to be American led to lower meaning in life than exclusive messaging, or a control passage. Study 2 (N [equals] 1,218) showed that conveying an inclusive message about American identity using non-pluralistic rhetoric buffered this existential threat, leading to higher meaning in life than pluralistic expressions of inclusive ideals. Non-pluralistic rhetoric also enhanced certainty, and certainty mediated the effect of non-pluralistic (vs. pluralistic) rhetoric on meaning in life. Study 3 (N [equals] 556) sought to conceptually replicate these patterns in the context of university identity. Implications and future direction for the science of ideology, well-being, and diversity, are discussed.
Winning when the odds are against you : a narrative inquiry of African American female persistence at a predominantly white university
Authors:   , Woods Christine M.
Published: August 2021

African American females are enrolling and graduating college at increasing rates and outpacing their male counterparts to graduation. While their graduation rates increase, narratives of their journeys to and through college are sparse in the literature. This qualitative study examines the narratives of persistence of 10 Black female undergraduates enrolled at a Mid-Western Predominantly White Institution (PWI). Through the lenses of Crenshaw's intersectionality and Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory, this study explores factors that impede or promote persistence through the socio-environmental contexts of Black female undergraduates' journeys to and through a PWI. Using a semi-structured interview protocol, participants share stories of persistence beginning from childhood. Interview data underscore family context, faith, and issues of race, gender, and class as influential factors of persistence toward graduation at a PWI. Implications for practice and research are presented, and recommendations for administrators and practitioners are offered.

Generation of Microclimates From the Differential Decomposition of Textiles in North Central Florida
Authors: Meloro Raphaela M , Nastav Breeanne Linnea , DeLeon Valerie B
Published: August 2021

The analysis of textiles as trace evidence is an important area of focus in the field of forensic science, because enhanced understanding of the decomposition of textiles may point to more accurate methods for estimating the post mortem interval (PMI) of remains found in association with these materials. This research is especially crucial in areas with unique climates, like the state of Florida. This study examines the generation of microclimates from the differential decomposition of various textile types. This study hypothesized that the decomposition of textiles will generate microclimates with soil properties that differ from those of the surrounding environment, and that different types of textiles will create different microclimates as they decompose. Samples of cotton, UV-proofed cotton, polyester, cotton-polyester blended fabric, ripstop, and wool were buried at four sites on a property in North Central Florida for thirteen weeks, with measures of soil temperature, pH, and moisture level, and weather data collected weekly. Following burial, decomposition of each textile type was scored. Data collected were analyzed in R statistical software. Analysis indicated that the level of degradation differed by textile type but not by site. Textile presence, type of textile, and subsequent decomposition significantly impacted soil pH and moisture at all sites, but did not have a significant effect on soil temperature. The results of this study demonstrate that the decomposition of textiles can create diverse and unique microclimates in the soil environment. When found in association with human remains, presence and type of textile should be considered when estimating decomposition rates and the postmortem interval.

Since leachate is typically composed of numerous constituents, its management requires special attention. After the raw leachate of Saravan in Rasht (Guilan Province, Iran) was transferred to a laboratory and its specifications were determined, it was subjected to experiments by the bench-scale method. The analyses of pH and heavy metals were performed in the main and control anaerobic reactors at time zero, before precipitation, and two hours after precipitation. After the anaerobic process was over and the optimal retention time was identified in the anaerobic reactor, the removal of heavy metals was analyzed by the Fenton process and nanosilica absorbent in leachate treatment. In the primary anaerobic reactor, the highest and lowest removal rates were 59 and 39% for Ni and Cu, respectively. In the Fenton process with optimal H2O2/Fe+2 ratio, Cu and Hg showed the lowest and highest removal rates of 22.4 and 54.54%, respectively. At the optimal rate of nanosilica absorbent and the retention time of 15 min, As was removed maximally with an efficiency of 38% and Cu was removed minimally. The results revealed that the integration of the anaerobic process with the Fenton process and nanosilica absorbent was very effective in removing heavy metals from the aged landfill leachate.
A lei 13.874/2019 e a perda de uma chance em prol dos contratos internacionais: Brasil, um dia teu futuro chegará?
Authors: Oliveira Rosa Malena Gehlen Peixoto de
Published: August 2021

Este artigo tem por objetivo, a partir de uma pesquisa explicativa, analisar a restrição imposta pelo vigente art. 9º, da LINDB, que desde 1942 limita o exercício da autonomia da partes no tocante à escolha do direito aplicável aos contratos internacionais, disposição esta que não apenas se encontra dissonante dos princípios que regem o Direito Internacional Privado contemporâneo, como igualmente não se justifica frente aos ditames constitucionais previstos pela atual Constituição da República, que instituiu o Estado Democrático de Direito. Analisar-se-á que a Lei 13.874/2019, que promoveu a Declaração da Liberdade Econômica, perdeu uma valorosa oportunidade de corrigir este descompasso legislativo, malgrado tratar-se de um assunto imprescindível nas dinâmicas negociais, a permitir o incremento, desde já, da participação do Brasil no âmbito do mercado internacional e a favorecer o desenvolvimento socioeconômico nacional.

Se determinó la fluctuación poblacional de escarabajos descortezadores de pino del género Dendroctonus, en el municipio de San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, México. La investigación se realizo durante un periodo anual que comprendió de noviembre de 2016 a noviembre de 2017, Se determinaron dos sitios de muestreo, usando trampas multiembudo tipo Lindgren cebadas con semioquímicos. Los datos se sometieron a un análisis descriptivo realizando graficas de fluctuación poblacional por especie y género, para determinar la relación entre la temperatura (mínima, media y máxima) y la fluctuación poblacional por especie del género Dendroctonus Erichson, 1836, se aplicó el análisis de correlación de Pearson. Se capturaron en total 1,981 ejemplares del género Dendroctonus, distribuidas en seis especies: D. frontalis Zimmermann, 1868, D. adjunctus Blandford, 1897, D. approximatus Dietz, 1890, D. valens LeConte, 1860, D. parallelocollis Chapuis, 1869 y D. mesoamericanus Armendáriz-Toledano y Sullivan, 2015, las mayores capturas se registraron durante la temporada calurosa en las estaciones de primavera y verano, con excepción de D. frontalis que se capturó en mayor abundancia durante la temporada fría en el mes de diciembre de 2016. La relación entre la temperatura y la variación poblacional es mejor correlacionada con la temperatura máxima, en comparación con la temperatura mínima y media, además, la población del género Dendroctonus presento mayor abundancia en el período caluroso con temperaturas entre los 24 y 28.8 °C, en las estaciones de primavera y verano.

Se estudió la diversidad de hormigas de La Cantera Oriente, una zona restaurada de la Reserva Ecológica del Pedregal de San Ángel en la Ciudad de México con el objetivo de conocer dicha diversidad en dos zonas y durante la temporada de lluvia y sequía, además de comparar esta diversidad con la de una zona conservada de la misma reserva. Para llevarlo a cabo, se midió la riqueza y abundancia de las hormigas en cada zona y temporada, además correlacionamos las medidas de diversidad con la estructura de la superficie del suelo y con la estructura vertical de la vegetación. Finalmente calculamos el índice de Sorensen para comparar la riqueza de La Cantera y de la de una zona conservada de la reserva. Encontramos diez especies de hormigas, las especies más abundantes fueron Monomorium minimum Buckley, 1866 y Paratrechina longicornis Latreille, 1802. Aunque en la temporada seca se presentó mayor abundancia, riqueza y diversidad, no se encontraron diferencias significativas entre sitios o temporadas para estas variables. Únicamente la abundancia se correlacionó con la proporción de pasto durante la temporada de lluvia. Siete especies de La Cantera Oriente se comparten con las de una zona conservada de la reserva. Concluimos que la diversidad de hormigas de La Cantera Oriente no es afectada por los cambios espaciales y temporales de este lugar. La similitud entre las especies de la zona conservada de la Reserva y las de La Cantera es muy baja, lo que podría asociarse al alto grado de perturbación que tuvo esta última.
