ДЕФОРМАЦІЇ РИС НАЦІОНАЛЬНОГО ХАРАКТЕРУ УКРАЇНСЬКОГО СЕЛЯНСТВА НА ПОЧАТКУ 30-Х РОКІВ ХХ СТОЛІТТЯ (на матеріалах Христинівського району)
Authors: Горохівський Петро
Published: November 2018

У статті розкрита спроба більшовицької влади у 30-х роках минулого століття змінити шкалу національних і загальнолюдських цінностей, зруйнувати уклад життя селянства, його традиції і звичаї через нав’язування марксистської ідеології, цілеспрямоване руйнування колективного менталітету. Зазначено, що внаслідок такої політики були зруйновані такі риси, як прив’язаність до землі, працелюбність, господарність, здоровий оптимізм, релігійність, толерантність, культ родини, патріотизм, демократичність та інші, натомість насаджувалися такі риси: конформізм (угодовство), безбожжя, агресивність по відношенню до інших, нетерпимість до інакодумства, доносительство, традиції підданської психології. Появилися такі риси, як безгосподарність, безвідповідальність, шкідництво, злодійство, ледарство, масове пияцтво, байдужість і, хоч і ненадовго, навіть такі виродливі риси, як надмірна жорстокість і людоїдство.

Évolution anthropométrique et physiologique des surfeurs de haut niveau. Recherche de paramètres associés à la performance
Authors: Fleury A. , Lafitte J.D. , Monchaux C. , Bauduer F.
Published: November 2018

Les paramètres anthropométriques et physiologiques à l’effort constituent des éléments déterminants dans la pratique sportive à haut niveau. Notre étude s’est appliquée à dresser l’évolution du profil d’un échantillon de surfeurs du pôle France entre deux périodes (2000-2005versus2010-2015) et à déterminer quels paramètres sont associés à la performance en surf de haut niveau (jugée par rapport au classement fédéral des individus). Nous avons utilisé les données issues des évaluations annuelles de ces sportifs. Elles comprennent l’âge, les paramètres anthropométriques : taille, poids, indice de masse corporelle (IMC), pourcentage de masse grasse à l’adipomètre ainsi que physiologiques à l’effort : consommation maximale d’oxygène (VO2 max), puissance maximale aérobie (PMA), fréquences cardiaques aux seuils ventilatoires aérobie (SV1) et anaérobie (SV2) exprimées en pourcentage de la fréquence cardiaque maximale (FC max) et puissance maximale anaérobie alactique (PMAA) des membres inférieurs évaluée par un test de détente verticale. Nous avons étudié au total 83 hommes et 23 femmes. Par rapport à l’échantillon plus ancien, nous avons mis en évidence une réduction du dimorphisme sexuel et du pourcentage de masse grasse et, sur le plan physiologique, une amélioration globale des paramètres physiologiques chez les hommes avec une significativité statistique au niveau du VO2 max et de la PMAA. Les paramètres physiologiques retrouvés significativement associés à la performance chez les hommes (p< 0,05) sont la PMAA ou la détente des membres inférieurs, les puissances à SV2 et à SV1, les pourcentages de FC max atteints à SV2 et à SV1 et la PMA. On observe un processus de sélection/adaptation chez les surfeurs de haut niveau spécifique à leur discipline sur le plan biométrique et physiologique. Des constatations identiques ont été faites dans diverses autres pratiques sportives, mais avec une distribution différente des paramètres associés à la performance. Ces éléments sont importants pour la sélection initiale et le suivi des individus ainsi que pour la mise en place de programmes optimaux d’entraînement.
Cris des cœurs de Jean-Victor Pellerin, exemple d’une pièce hybride
Authors: Kaczmarek Tomasz
Published: November 2018

Cris des cœurs by Jean-Victor Pellerin consists of the three parts, each of them corresponds to a different genre: melodrama, tragedy and misterium. Rejecting the reality, the writer resignes also from the scene’s materiality what leads him as a consequence to the deconstruction of the space-time’s categories. Traditional drama’s division on act and scenes is replaced by the loose images (tableaux) where the dreamy visions mingle with reality. Puting the pressure on oniric dimension of a play, the playwright prepares the area for a break of characters who moving in a hostile and an unspecified world without the laws of physics, get going in quest for the lost identity. Breaking the unity of action and psychological consistency of a character, Pellerin presents the crisis of a temporary human being, moreover by using heterogenic forms, he shows this crisis in ist best.
Quand la littérature rencontre le cinéma : Paradis conjugal d’Alice Ferney et Le garçon incassable de Florence Seyvos
Authors: Amatulli Margareth
Published: November 2018

In a society characterized by ever-changing identity- and boundary-redefinition, the confines among different kinds of art are shifting consistently. Painting, photography, and cinema often surface in post-modern literature directly or indirectly. In particular, intertextual connections, generated by the intertwining of cinema and literature in literary works, lead to the creation of new text types which can hardly be classified according to traditional genre taxonomies. This essay aims to investigate some hybridization processes, triggered by the presence of cinema in literary texts, through the analysis of two novels which claim a direct connection with cinema: Paradis Conjugal d'Alice Ferney (2008) et Le Garçon incassable de Florence Seyvos (2013).
Synthesis and Analysis by Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry of a Mauveine Composition Similar to Museum-Stored Mauveine
Authors: Plater M. John , Raab Andrea
Published: November 2018

Our proposal that museum-stored mauveine was made by a modified method compared to mauveine made by the William Henry Perkin patented method of 1856 is exemplified. An improved method of purification allows greater resolution and separation of the different mauveine chromophores. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry charts for museum-stored mauveine are compared to the new mauveine reported here. The formation of deprotected mauveine chromophores and N-tert- butylated mauveine chromophores is discussed.

100 Jahre Frauenwahlrecht – der unvollendete Weg zu geschlechtergerechter Repräsentation. Eine Einleitung
Authors: Abels Gabriele , Ahrens Petra , Blome Agnes
Published: November 2018

Vor 100 Jahren erhielten Frauen in Deutschland das aktive und passive Wahlrecht und wurden damit de jure zu vollwertigen Staatsbürgerinnen. Das war das Ergebnis eines langen Kampfes. Gleichwohl ist de facto ihre politische Gleichheit bis heute nicht voll verwirklicht. Weder auf nationaler noch auf regionaler Ebene sind kontinuierlich mehr als 30% der parlamentarischen Abgeordneten weiblich. Die Implikationen für die substantielle und symbolische Repräsentation von Frauen werden in dem Beitrag diskutiert.
Feministische Repräsentationskritik: (Dis-)Kontinuitäten von den ersten deutschen Frauenbewegungen bis in die Gegenwart
Authors: Cress Anne
Published: November 2018

Repräsentationskritik ist im feministischen politischen Denken und Handeln fest verankert – und dies nicht erst seit den 1970er Jahren. Vielmehr kann diese Kritik zumindest bis in das 19. Jahrhundert zurückverfolgt werden, wenn nämlich bislang marginalisierte Werke von Akteur_innen der deutschen Frauenstimmrechtsbewegungen Beachtung geschenkt wird. Mittels eines „rekonstruierenden Quellenstudiums“ (Conradi 2015) können wichtige Rezeptionslücken in der feministischen Repräsentationstheorie zumindest ein Stück weit geschlossen und theoretische Kontinuitäten aufgezeigt werden. Vorrangiges Ziel des Beitrags ist es, die politische Ideengeschichte durch die Nachrezeption der Schriften aus der Frauenstimmrechtsbewegung zu bereichern. Eine Auseinandersetzung mit feministischen Repräsentationskritiken lohnt sich, denn diese können ein wirksames Instrument für die Realisierung politischer Gleichheit darstellen. Mit ihrer Hilfe können Repräsentationspraxen mit den ihnen inhärenten Ambivalenzen theoretisiert und oftmals verschleierte Herrschaftsverhältnisse aufgedeckt werden.
Addressing Supply-Side Hurdles to Gender-Equal Representation in Germany
Authors: Davidson-Schmich Louise K.
Published: November 2018

One hundred years after being granted the right to active suffrage, German women remain underrepresented in elective office. Quotas have partially addressed demand-side barriers to gender parity in descriptive representation, but significant supply-side gaps remain. Men comprise over 70% of political party members in the Federal Republic, dominating the bodies that provide candidates for elective office. Solutions to this supply-side problem have often focused on “fixing” women to fit into gendered party institutions, rather than altering these structures to be more welcoming to women. In contrast, drawing on interviews with (potential) party members in Germany, this article identifies informal institutions that deter gender-balanced involvement in political parties and suggests ways in which these norms might be changed.
Ausschluss trotz Einschluss. Ungleiche Handlungsressourcen von Bürgermeisterinnen und Bürgermeistern
Authors: Kletzing Uta
Published: November 2018

Frauen in der Politik sind nicht mehr die Ausnahme, aber noch längst nicht die Regel. Auch nach 100 Jahren Frauenwahlrecht dominieren unverändert Männer und ‚Männlichkeit‘ den politischen Raum. Gender bahnt sich in Gestalt von Geschlechternorm, Geschlechterordnung und Geschlechterstruktur (Pimminger 2012) unverändert Wege, Ausschlüsse für Frauen zu erzeugen. Politikerinnen unterliegen daher gegenwärtig einer paradoxen Situation gleichzeitiger Einschlüsse und Ausschlüsse. Der auf einer empirisch-analytischen Untersuchung basierende Beitrag geht diesen Einschlüssen und Ausschlüssen am Beispiel hauptamtlicher Bürgermeisterinnen nach, indem er die Verteilung von Handlungsressourcen auf Kandidatinnen (Wahlsituation) bzw. Bürgermeisterinnen (Regierungssituation) und auf ihre männlichen Amtskollegen miteinander vergleicht. Die Verteilung der Handlungsressourcen ergibt für die Kandidatinnen bzw. Bürgermeisterinnen nachteilige Ausgangslagen. Diese geringeren Chancen auf Erfolg können jedoch dem tatsächlichen Erfolg der Kandidatinnen bzw. Bürgermeisterinnen nichts anhaben. Damit wird den ‚männlichen‘ Standards, die der Verteilung der Handlungsressourcen zugrunde liegen, einmal mehr ihre Legitimationsgrundlage entzogen.
The Outcome of Post-Chemotherapy Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection in Patients with Metastatic Bladder Cancer in the Retroperitoneum
Authors: Liu Nick W. , Murray Katie S. , Donat S. Machele , Herr Harry W. , Bochner Bernard H. , Dalbagni Guido
Published: November 2018

Purpose:

While a definitive cure can be achieved by radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection in select patients with regional lymphadenopathy, the benefit remains uncertain in patients who present with non-regional metastases. We analyzed the survival outcomes of post-chemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection.

Materials and Methods:

We reviewed our institutional database and identified 13 patients with radiographically evident or biopsy proven retroperitoneal nodal metastases with a significant response to chemotherapy. These patients underwent consolidative surgery with concomitant or delayed retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. The primary endpoints were progression-free survival and disease-specific survival from the time of retroperitoneal lymph node dissection.

Results:

All patients had primary urothelial cell carcinoma. Twelve patients underwent concomitant radical cystectomy, pelvic and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. Seven patients (54%) had residual disease in the retroperitoneum and the median number of retroperitoneal nodes containing metastases was 4 (IQR 2–6). Six (86%) developed disease recurrences within 2 years of surgery and 5 (71%) died of cancer. Of the 6 patients without residual disease in the retroperitoneum, 2 (33%) developed recurrences and died of disease progression. The 2-year disease-specific survival was worse for patients with residual disease in the retroperitoneum than those without residual retroperitoneal disease (34%, 95% CI 5–68 vs 50%, 95% CI 6–85).

Conclusions:

The presence of retroperitoneal nodal metastases at post-chemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection is a poor prognosticator. Consolidative surgery with retroperitoneal lymph node dissection provides important prognostic information and may be therapeutic in a very small subset of these patients.
Some improvements in Monte Carlo tree search algorithms for sudden death games
Authors: Chen Chih-Hung , Wu Wei-Lin , Chen Yu-Heng , Lin Shun-Shii
Published: November 2018

The average reward problem in the traditional Monte-Carlo tree search algorithms troubles the sudden death games for a long time, because of the average reward criterion will reduce the probability of a deterministic result. But this does not bother the non-sudden death games, such as Go, which can focus only on higher win rates rather than higher scores. In this work, we propose the miniMax-Monte-Carlo tree search with depth rewards to Outer-Open Gomoku (a variant of Gomoku) to discover a forced win/lose without any human knowledge, evaluation function, or pre-training. And it can solve not only the average reward problem but also the inaccurate win-rate problem in deep playout simulation in sudden death games. Finally, we propose a new integrated framework named BBQ (Big, Best, Quick win) MCTS for improving the performance of traditional MCTS.

Ethical Issues in the Treatment of Late-Stage Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors: Watt Andrew D. , Jenkins Nicole L. , McColl Gawain , Collins Steven , Desmond Patricia M.
Published: November 2018

There is hope that the continuing efforts of researchers will yield a disease-modifying drug for Alzheimer’s disease. Such a drug is likely to be capable of halting, or significantly slowing, the underlying pathological processes driving cognitive decline; however, it is unlikely to be capable of restoring brain function already lost through the pathological process. A therapy capable of halting Alzheimer’s disease, while not providing restoration of function, may prompt serious ethical questions. For example, is there a stage in the disease process when it becomes too late for therapeutic intervention to commence? And who bears the responsibility of making such a decision? Conversations regarding the ethics of treating neurodegenerative conditions with non-restorative drugs have been largely absent within both clinical and research communities. Such discussions are urgently required to ensure that patients’ rights and well-being are protected when such therapeutic options become available.

Development of passive sampler POCIS for the analysis of polar pesticides in surface water
Authors: Tran Trang Thi Nhu , Pham Ty Thi , Truong Hai Lam Son
Published: November 2018

The first time in Vietnam a passive sampling method has been developed to analyse the polar pesticides in surface water. The initial investigations of POCIS were performed for 7 polar pesticides as simazine,thiodicarb, carbofuran, chlortoluron, atrazine, isoproturon, and diuron. We determined the sampling rates RS for these substances ranged from 0.369 to 0.962 L day- 1. The obtained values of ku and RS showed the important influence of environmental factors such as flow on the ability to integrate polar pesticides in passive sampling process. This method can be applied to determine these 7 polar pesticides in surface water at trace levels according to European standards for pesticide residues in water (< 0.1 μg L-1).
Theoretical study on structures and magnetic properties of NaxV (x=1-12) atomic clusters
Authors: Bui Thanh Tho , Trang Khung Moc , Nguyen Hong Van
Published: November 2018

Superatoms, novel entities have been studied extensively in recent years, can be stabilized by mixing with transition metal atoms for forming atomic clusters. The aim of this contribution is to present some recent theoretical results on the application of quantum calculations for examining the structures and magnetic properties of the atomic clusters NaxV (x=1-12) made from the mixing of Nax superatoms with vanadium, a transition metal atom. Optimized structures of NaxV (x=1-12) are determined by using the TPSSTPSS/DGDZVP DFT calculations. Characteristics of optimized structures, as structural parameters, values of the magnetic moment on the atomic orbitals are determined. The obtained results point out that: (1) the Na8V cluster is the most stable in NaxV (x=1-12) atomic clusters and (2) the value of themagnetic moment of Na8V cluster is mainly influenced by the orbital magnetic momentof the atom V and this is an interesting difference from other remaining NaxV(x≠8) clusters

Explotación del territorio y resistencia campesina. El caso de los pueblos de Santiago y San Pedro Ocuila en Cuencamé, Durango
Authors: Rodríguez Barragán Daniel Guillermo
Published: November 2018

En la transición del siglo xix al xx , el estado de Durango, al igual que el resto del norte del país, se encontraba inmerso en un proceso de reestructuración política y económica a causa de su condición de productor de materias primas, que lo colocaba en una estrecha relación con los mercados europeo y estadounidense. El Partido de Cuencamé (actuales municipios de Cuencamé, Peñón Blanco y Santa Clara) constituyó el ejemplo más representativo en la entidad de las contradicciones de dicho proceso. Además, se destacan los casos de los Pueblos Unidos de Santiago y San Pedro de Ocuila, como uno de los principales antecedentes de la Revolución mexicana en el oriente de Durango, ya que, a través de una lucha legal y finalmente militar, lograron hacer frente al expansionismo de los latifundios de la región. Esto generó una redefinición de las relaciones sociales a partir de dicha resistencia.
Venustiano Carranza y la prensa. Un panorama periodístico, 1913-1919
Authors: Méndez Lara Francisco Iván
Published: November 2018

La desaparición de El Imparcial (en agosto de 1914) generó un vacío periodístico que fue ocupado por múltiples órganos informativos de corta duración, cuyo objetivo fue defender las posturas de las diversas facciones en pugna. Una vez concluida la “guerra de papel” (1914-1915), inició un periodo de hegemonía de la prensa adicta a Venustiano Carranza. A través de las historias de periódicos como El Demócrata, El Pueblo, El Universal y Excélsior, se explica el ascenso, la consolidación y los prolegómenos de la crisis del gobierno de Carranza. La “muerte” de El Pueblo en mayo de 1919 marcó un punto de inflexión en el periodismo revolucionario antes de que iniciara la lucha electoral de 1920. El desarrollo y la consolidación de la prensa carrancista no han sido suficientemente analizados por la historiografía, este texto propone una explicación al periodo de 1913 a 1919.

Con sentido crítico y perspectiva histórica, el texto describe y analiza El Zancudo, periódico de caricaturas de vida efímera que, aprovechando la coyuntura política del momento, se publicó con el propósito específico de rescatar algunos de los acontecimientos más destacados del Congreso, ridiculizando las posturas, poses, vestimenta, manera de expresarse e ideología de los diputados del ala jacobina o radical. Tan sólo cuatro números fueron publicados a fines de enero y principios de febrero de 1917, siendo el director Pedro A. Chapa y sus colaboradores Marcelino Dávalos, Rafael de los Ríos y Alfonso Cravioto, todos ellos diputados constituyentes del ala conservadora, con amplia experiencia periodística y defensores del proyecto reformista del Primer Jefe y Encargado del Poder Ejecutivo.
Aproximación a la concepción onto-simbólica del arte en la hermenéutica filosófica de Gadamer
Authors: Luján Salazar Enrique
Published: November 2018

Este trabajo sostiene que el concepto de símbolo en la filosofía de Gadamer permite construir una interpretación ontológica de la obra artística y, como categoría estética, posibilita que el intérprete tenga un punto de apoyo para dar sentido unitario a este acontecimiento. Sin embargo, aquello que podemos decir sobre el arte no está sujeto a una lectura unilateral ni cerrada; como fenómeno histórico de la vida humana y por su misma naturaleza, el arte requiere de una interpretación amplia y plural, una interpretación que dé una unidad de sentido y que ofrezca la posibilidad de generar un encuentro en el que sujeto y objeto son correlativos y pertenecen a un mismo horizonte vital.
Binomios y dicotomías en las representaciones sociales de la maternidad en madres adolescentes
Authors: Romero de Loera Bélgica María
Published: November 2018

Este artículo tiene como propósito comprender cómo es concebida la maternidad desde las mismas madres jóvenes. Se parte de la teoría de las representaciones sociales para dar cuenta de las concepciones construidas y reconstruidas por jóvenes menores de 20 años que son madres y que relatan parte de sus vivencias, pensamientos y sentimientos en entrevistas a profundidad. Las entrevistas fueron analizadas bajo la técnica de análisis cualitativo de contenido, partiendo de categorías que emergieron tras el análisis de cartas asociativas. Los diferentes elementos de representación social encontrados están fuertemente asociados entre sí: (1) el apoyo social con los retos y exigencias, (2) la compensación con los retos y con los roles/relación, (3) las renuncias con el temor/sufrimiento y (4) el temor/sufrimiento con procesos de corporalidad. Estas representaciones se organizan en pares de opuestos: las exigencias frente a las renuncias, la compensación frente al temor/sufrimiento y la compensación frente a la trascendencia. Las representaciones sociales tienen como centro el apoyo social, las exigencias y las renuncias, las cuales dan significado a la maternidad de las jóvenes y permiten hacer inteligible la información del contexto, orientar sus acciones y comunicarse en los escenarios sociales en los cuales se desenvuelven.

Authors: Nasreen Tania , Ferdousi Sheuly , Alam Khorshed , Sultana Tuhin , Dipta Tashmim Farhana , Selim Shahjada
Published: November 2018

Background : Magnesium (Mg++) deficiency is associated with poor glycemic control and Mg++ supplementation lowers blood sugar, improves insulin sensitivity and delays diabetic complications such as diabetic nephropathy, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy. Objective : This study was designed to know the status of serum Mg++ in type 2 diabetic subjects with microalbuminuria and normoalbuminuria.Methodology : This study was conducted at the Department of Laboratory Medicine (Clinical Pathology) in collaboration with BIRDEM General Hospital, Dhaka. In this study, serum magnesium level and urine microalbumin level of 120 newly detected type 2 diabetic patients were measured. Both levels were measured by biochemical auto analyzer (Siemens Dimension RL Max).Result : The mean microalbumin level was found 22.9±3.1 mg/L with range from 2-105 mg/L and the mean magnesium level was found 1.9±0.3 mg/dl with range from 1.5-2.4 mg/dl. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was -0.353 between serum magnesium level and urine microalbumin which was statistically significant (p value < 0.05). Therefore, there was a linear negative correlation between serum magnesium level and urine microalbumin.Conclusion : The present study revealed negative correlation between serum magnesium level and urine microalbumin.Northern International Medical College Journal Vol.9(2) Jan 2018: 291-294
On David Bohm’s ‘pilot-wave’ concept
Authors: Belinsky A V
Published: November 2018

We consider the interpretation of quantum mechanics on the basis of the so-called ‘pilot-wave’ concept from the point of view of its adequacy in the light of both already-realized and possible and gedanken experiments, including those that involve photons. It is shown that this concept, despite undoubtedly being useful, can hardly ensure compliance of quantum-theory predictions with the postulate that particle coordinates and velocities objectively exist, while splitting the wave function into empty and nonempty wave packets seems to contradict to the results of feasible experiments and their interpretations.
FGF10 Protects Against Renal Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury by Regulating Autophagy and Inflammatory Signaling
Authors: Tan Xiaohua , Zhu Hongmei , Tao Qianyu , Guo Lisha , Jiang Tianfang , Xu Le , Yang Ruo , Wei Xiayu , Wu Jin , Li Xiaokun , Zhang Jin-San
Published: November 2018

Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is a common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI), which is associated with high mortality and poor outcomes. Autophagy plays important roles in the homeostasis of renal tubular cells (RTCs) and is implicated in the pathogenesis of AKI, although its role in the process is complex and controversial. Fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10), a multifunctional FGF family member, was reported to exert protective effect against cerebral ischemia injury and myocardial damage. Whether FGF10 has similar beneficial effect, and if so whether autophagy is associated with the potential protective activity against AKI has not been investigated. Herein, we report that FGF10 treatment improved renal function and histological integrity in a rat model of renal I/R injury. We observed that FGF10 efficiently reduced I/R-induced elevation in blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine as well as apoptosis induction of RTCs. Interestingly, autophagy activation following I/R was suppressed by FGF10 treatment based on the immunohistochemistry staining and immunoblot analyses of LC3, Beclin-1 and SQSTM1/p62. Moreover, combined treatment of FGF10 with Rapamycin partially reversed the renoprotective effect of FGF10 suggesting the involvement of mTOR pathway in the process. Interestingly, FGF10 also inhibited the release of HMGB1 from the nucleus to the extracellular domain and regulated the expression of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6. Together, these results indicate that FGF10 could alleviate kidney I/R injury by suppressing excessive autophagy and inhibiting inflammatory response and may therefore have the potential to be used for the prevention and perhaps treatment of I/R-associated AKI.

Published: November 2018

Service organizations use quality management systems as a part of their overall strategies to improve business processes and operations management. Nevertheless, how quality management components lead to improvement and whether task conflicts influence quality management components have not yet been identified clearly. This paper examines the mechanisms that link different quality management components to improvement and the role of task conflict in the mechanisms. Data were collected from 495 employees responsible for quality management in Macao’s service organizations. Results from structural equation modeling showed that leadership i.e., the supportive behaviors of top management towards quality management has direct, significant effects on quality management components such as process approach, engagement of people, relationship management, and evidence-based decision making while customer focus has the largest total effect on improvement. On the other hand, task conflict was weakly but significantly related to relationship management. The study provides a deeper understanding of how quality management works in service contexts.

Published: November 2018

In low-pressure casting, aluminum alloy wheels are prone to internal defects such as gas holes and shrinkage cavities, which call for X-ray inspection to ensure quality. Automatic defect segmentation of X-ray images is an important task in X-ray inspection of wheels. For this, a solution is proposed here that combines adaptive threshold segmentation algorithm and mathematical morphology reconstruction. First, the X-ray image of the wheel is smoothed, and then the smoothed image is subtracted from the original image, and the resulting difference image is binarized; the binary image resulting from the low threshold is taken as the marker image, and that from the high threshold is taken as mask image, and mathematical morphology reconstruction is performed on the two images, with the resulting image being the preliminary result of the wheel defect segmentation. Finally, with area and diameter parameters as the conditions, the preliminary segmentation result is analyzed, and the defect regions satisfying the conditions are taken as the ultimate result of the whole solution. Experiments proved the feasibility of the above solution, which is found capable of extracting different types of wheel defects satisfactorily.

Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are now experiencing the local consequences of a changing climate, environment, and society. Nonetheless, climate change research frequently remains at regional or national levels. Without locally grounded data, islanders’ perceived impacts of the changes might not be considered, thereby causing difficulties when policy and practice responses are implemented without accounting for local understandings. To contribute to addressing this gap, this study examines perceptions of climate change and associated environmental and social changes in two SIDS case studies: St. Kitts in the Caribbean Sea and Malé Atoll, Maldives in the Indian Ocean. Through these two case studies, we assess perceptions of changing social and natural environments through a closed-question, face-to-face survey. Our results suggest that in both island case studies, communities perceive environmental changes to be happening that demand negotiation with the social changes of daily life. Results also suggest that perceived climate change impacts are only part of the equation, as social and economic impacts reveal two case studies of changing island societies. While the geographic context in each case study differs, this study reveals the perceived impacts of climate change and social changes at a local level, providing valuable insights and angles for formulating policies and actions to deal with the myriad of social and environmental changes affecting SIDS.
Different Woods in Cooperage for Oenology: A Review
Authors: Martínez-Gil Ana , Del Alamo-Sanza Maria , Sánchez-Gómez Rosario , Nevares Ignacio
Published: November 2018

Contact of wine with wood during fermentation and ageing produces significant changes in its chemical composition and organoleptic properties, modifying its final quality. Wines acquire complex aromas from the wood, improve their colour stability, flavour, and clarification, and extend their storage period. New trends in the use of barrels, replaced after a few years of use, have led to an increased demand for oak wood in cooperage. In addition, the fact that the wine market is becoming increasingly saturated and more competitive means that oenologists are increasingly interested in tasting different types of wood to obtain wines that differ from those already on the market. This growing demand and the search for new opportunities to give wines a special personality has led to the use of woods within the Quercus genus that are different from those used traditionally (Quercus alba, Quercus petraea, and Quercus robur) and even woods of different genera. Thus, species of the genus Quercus, such as Quercus pyrenaica Willd., Quercus faginea Lam., Quercus humboldtti Bonpl., Quercus oocarpa Liebm., Quercus frainetto Ten, and other genera, such as Robinia pseudoacacia L. (false acacia), Castanea sativa Mill. (chestnut), Prunus avium L. and Prunus cereaus L. (cherry), Fraxinus excelsior L. (European ash), Fraxinus americana L. (American ash), Morus nigra L, and Morus alba L. have been the subject of several studies as possible sources of wood apt for cooperage. The chemical characterization of these woods is essential in order to be able to adapt the cooperage treatment and, thus, obtain wood with oenological qualities suitable for the treatment of wines. This review aims to summarize the different species that have been studied as possible new sources of wood for oenology, defining the extractable composition of each one and their use in wine.

Exposure to environmental contaminants during pregnancy has been linked to adverse health outcomes later in life. Notable among these pollutants are the endocrine disruptors chemicals (EDCs), which are ubiquitously present in the environment and they have been measured and quantified in the fetus. In this systematic review, our objective was to summarize the epidemiological research on the potential association between prenatal exposure to EDCs and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) published from 2005 to 2016. The Navigation Guide Systematic Review Methodology was applied. A total of 17 studies met the inclusion criteria for this review, including: five cohorts and 12 case-control. According to the definitions specified in the Navigation Guide, we rated the quality of evidence for a relationship between prenatal exposure to EDCs and ASD as “moderate”. Although the studies generally showed a positive association between EDCs and ASD, after considering the strengths and limitations, we concluded that the overall strength of evidence supporting an association between prenatal exposure to EDCs and later ASD in humans remains “limited” and inconclusive. Further well-conducted prospective studies are warranted to clarify the role of EDCs on ASD development.

Published: November 2018

Our understanding of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) parasomnias has improved considerably over the last two decades, with research that characterises and explores the causes of these disorders. However, our understanding is far from complete. The aim of this paper is to provide an updated review focusing on adult NREM parasomnias and highlighting new areas in NREM parasomnia research from the recent literature. We outline the prevalence, clinical characteristics, role of onset, pathophysiology, role of predisposing, priming and precipitating factors, diagnostic criteria, treatment options and medico-legal implications of adult NREM parasomnias.

Published: November 2018

Electrode materials for neural stimulation have been widely investigated for implantable devices. Among them, iridium and iridium oxide are attractive materials for bio-interface applications due to their desirable stability, electrochemical performance, and biocompatibility. In this study, iridium oxide/platinum (IrOx/Pt) composite films were successfully fabricated on titanium substrates by chemical bath deposition and these films are expected to be used as biocompatible stimulation electrodes. We modified the film compositions to optimize the performances. In addition, these IrOx/Pt composite films were characterized before and after annealing by SEM and XRD. We also identified the hydrophilicity of these iridium oxide/platinum composite films by measuring contact angles. Finally, the charge storage capacities of these iridium oxide/platinum composite films were evaluated by an electrochemical workstation. As a result, the charge storage capacities of the iridium oxide/platinum composite films are largely increased, and this leads to a very efficient neurostimulation electrode. Additionally, we successfully demonstrated the chemical bath deposition of IrOx film on the surface of the bullet-shaped titanium microelectrode.
A Trial to Design γ/γ′ Bond Coat in Ni–Al–Cr Mode TBCs Aided by Phase-Field Simulation
Authors: Ta Na , Zhang Lijun , Du Yong
Published: November 2018

Phase-field modeling coupled with calculation of phase diagram (CALPHAD) database was utilized to perform a series of two-dimensional phase-field simulations of microstructure evolution in the γ + γ′/γ + γ′ Ni–Al–Cr mode bond coat/substrate systems. With the aid of phase-field simulated microstructure evolution, the relationship between the interdiffusion microstructure and the cohesiveness/aluminum protective property with different alloy compositions and bond coat thicknesses was fully discussed. A semi-quantitative tie-line selection criteria for alloy composition of the bond coat/substrate system with the identical elements, i.e., that the equilibrium Al concentrations of γ′ and γ phases in the bond coat should be similar to those in substrate, while the phase fraction of γ′ in the bond coat tends to be higher than that in the substrate, was then proposed to reduce the formation of polycrystalline structure and thermal shock from the temperature gradient.
