El complejo energético argentino y los impactos estructurales sobre el sector externo
Authors: Barrera Mariano Alejandro
Published: December 2021

Desde la desregulación de la actividad hidrocarburífera y la privatización de la petrolera estatal en la década de los años de 1990, Argentina ingresó de forma subordinada en la cadena de valor global de la energía. Esta dinámica implicó una adaptación a los procesos del exterior tanto por parte de las empresas internacionales como de las locales que operan de forma transnacionalizada, lo que derivó en un persistente drenaje de recursos al exterior. Bajo este marco, a partir de 2010 Argentina experimentó un nuevo proceso de restricción externa. Si bien son varios los factores que explican esta escasez de divisas, el sector energético tuvo una clara incidencia. Así, el objetivo de este artículo es analizar el impacto del complejo energético en el sector externo durante el período 2003-2015. A diferencia de los estudios existentes que consideran únicamente el flujo de bienes energéticos publicados por el INDEC, aquí se analiza la totalidad de la cuenta corriente del complejo energético, así como también la cuenta capital y financiera, considerando como fuente de información el Balance Cambiario del Banco Central. Se trata —en suma— de un análisis más amplio que permite tener una comprensión más cabal del flujo de divisas del sector energético.
Proximidades en el aprendizaje tecnológico: aportes metodológicos para el estudio de los entramados locales en América Latina
Authors: Castelao Caruana María Eugenia , De Vita Mariel , Lavarello Pablo
Published: December 2021

La difusión de nuevas tecnologías en el marco de una creciente internacionalización de la producción representa un desafío para las economías latinoamericanas, debido a su impacto en las trayectorias de especialización y diversificación de los entramados productivos locales y la intensificación de procesos asimétricos e incompletos de aprendizaje. El enfoque de las proximidades ofrece elementos teórico-metodológicos útiles para aprehender el rol de las condiciones geográficas y no geográficas que operan en los procesos de aprendizaje e innovación. Sin embargo, este enfoque ha sido desarrollado con base en estudios teóricos y empíricos que analizan los procesos innovativos en países desarrollados y cuestionan la relevancia de la proximidad geográfica en estos procesos. Este artículo propone reflexionar sobre este enfoque y repensar su abordaje conceptual y su diseño metodológico para analizar procesos de innovación en los entramados tecno-productivos de América Latina. El análisis muestra que el estudio de este fenómeno —desde el enfoque de las proximidades— debe considerar su carácter complejo e indisociable del contexto y, por lo tanto, la importancia del estudio de caso como método de investigación, así como la tensión existente entre las dinámicas globales, locales y el papel ineludible de los Estados en estos procesos.

Primeiramente, será apresentada a leitura semiótica da criação como processo sígnico, no contexto do pensamento do filósofo Charles S. Peirce. Em seguida, será discutido o adensamento desta conceituação em diálogo com o conceito de rede de Pierre Musso (2004) e o pensamento da complexidade de Edgar Morin (1998). Ao final. será apresentado o conceito de criação que sustenta a crítica dos processos de criação. Tal conceituação parece ser relevante para a discussão da criatividade e de quaisquer produções, que seriam ações geradas pelas complexas redes aqui abordadas.
Revaluando el sionismo y la causa palestina: Intelectuales argentinos frente al conflicto árabe-israelí. Recepción y debates durante la Guerra de los Seis Días (1967)
Authors: Kahan Emmanuel Nicolás
Published: December 2021

Una de las representaciones comúnmente sostenidas en torno a la década del sesenta del pasado siglo es la que consagra la figura del intelectual como uno de sus actores destacados.  Las trayectorias, programas y posiciones de aquellas personalidades que animaron el debate público contemplando un escenario con diversas alternativas que propiciaban la “liberación” –ya sea internacional, nacional o individual– constituyó uno de los rasgos característicos del período. En el plano nacional, los estudios consagraron una figura del intelectual que se posicionó en torno a una agenda específica centrada en la redefinición del vínculo entre las izquierdas y el peronismo y la adopción de la lucha armada como una de las alternativas para la instauración de una sociedad más igualitaria al calor del impacto que tuviera la Revolución Cubana. Sin embargo, muchos de los intelectuales que participaron en esos debates –como tantos otros que no lo hicieron o, al menos, que no tuvieron reconocimiento público o académico posterior– también se posicionaron en torno a un universo más amplio de temas que, en aquel contexto, resultaron significativos. Por ejemplo, el conflicto árabe-israelí y las tensiones suscitadas en torno a la cuestión judía, la causa palestina y el sionismo. Este trabajo propone hacer un relevamiento de aquellas intervenciones intentado sopesar de qué modo los debates en torno a un conflicto extra-territorial constituyeron una plataforma en la cual vehiculizar posiciones en torno a la agenda política e intelectual de carácter nacional.

Published: December 2021

Introduction. The article considers the variety and functions of dishes and utensils used at the sacrificial rituals of Trans-Kama “pagans” Udmurts from the Republic of Bashkortostan and Perm Krai. This is the first attempt of using extensive field and archival materials for the research purposes. Materials and Methods. The material for the study represents the published and archival sources, ethnographic information collected the authors during many years of field research. The analysis of materials was carried out using a comparative-historical method. The article takes into account the theoretical approaches of the semiotic school in ethnology. Results and Discussion. In the object world of Udmurt sacrifices, a special place is occupied by dishes and utensils. Without them the ritual process involving the preparation of food and a joint meal is impossible. Various dishes (cauldrons, troughs, buckets, bowls, spoons, ladles, etc.) are used for their utilitarian purpose (cooking, storage, transportation, eating food, etc.) but inclusion in the ritual process endows them with symbolic functions. Conclusion. Dishes and utensils used at the sacrifices of the Trans-Kama Udmurts are still endowed with a high sacred status. The number, composition and methods of using ritual utensils have remained traditional but their forms, material and manufacturing method have changed. As before, in addition to being used for utilitarian purposes they are endowed with many symbolic functions.

Authors: Akgül Mustafa Ş. , Baydil Bilgehan
Published: December 2021

Background and Study Aim. Thyroid hormone responses to acute maximal aerobic exercise is still unclear, so the aim of the study is to investigate the effect of acute maximal aerobic exercise resulting in fatigue on blood thyroid levels in men and women.
Material and Methods. The study included 8 male and 7 female subjects who did not actively exercise. Both group participants were students in the Kastamonu University in the period of study. The heights, weights, resting hearth rates and 5 cc. venous blood samples of subjects were taken before the exercise. The subjects warmed up for ten minutes before they had 20 m shuttle run. The purpose of this test was to tire the subjects to the exhaustion. The heart rate were measured at the end of the test in order to determine the exhaustion levels of the participants. The 5 cc. venous blood samples were taken again just after the exhaustion exercise. Statistical analysis was carried out using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 23 program (SPSS Inc. Chicago. II. USA). P value was set at p<0.05.
Results. When results were compared between both sexes, no significant difference was found among variables (p>0.05). There was significant change in TSH values in all group. They increased following the exercise compared to pre-exercise values. Moreover, total T3 decreased in all group. No other significant difference was found in free T3 and free T4 variables.
Conclusions. In conclusion, thyroid responses to exercise emerge in a very complex way, which makes it difficult to reach a clear conclusion about its effects. The reason why the results are so contradictory is that the duration and intensity of the exercise, age, not being able to control the diet, and the timing of collection of blood samples after exercise.

Virtual-Digital Self of Public Human
Authors: Vasylieva L. A.
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article is distinguishing between "internal" and "external" public human through comprehending the phenomenon of Self in its virtual-digital essence as a popular demonstrative-project space "BETWEEN" aggression and harmony. Theoretical basis of the work is based on the study of the phenomenon of modern human aggression in the virtual-digital space and the "project space" of the living environment through understanding the nature of the human "I". The penetration limits of the Self of the public human into the "project space" are comprehended and the nature of the self-realization and self-search models of human through the "transcendent ego" is revealed. Originality is demonstrated through comprehending the Self phenomenon of the public human, which forms new anthropological research direction and represents a conceptual paradigm of relationship of "human I – publicity – human We – the living space of the Other". Conclusions. The Self of the public human as the space "BETWEEN" does not completely "dissolve" in a separate ontological basis, but is the basis for the formation of his/her "I", while only participation in the existence of others reveals the meaning of his/her own existence. Such interaction requires significant human efforts – skills and competencies of public communication, which are able to create a successful self-identification of a public human without aggression and conflict.

Authors: BEKH P. , LASHKOV O. , MAKSYMENKOV Y. , PAPAKHOV A.
Published: December 2021

Target. The transportation of oversized and heavy cargo is considered one of the most important transport services that bring the greatest profit. This requires powerful equipment and highly qualified specialists. The modern system of organizing transportation provides for the acceptance and delivery of small shipments of heavy cargo yards, during which each shipment can be reloaded several times at the cargo sites. Despite the relatively average transportation distances within Ukraine, the number of processing can reach 3 times, and the time spent at such sites is several days. Therefore, an increase in the delivery time for heavy small consignments arises due to their long stay at the cargo yards. Improvement of the technology of cargo yards and their technical equipment is of paramount importance for improving the organization of transportation of heavy cargo by small consignments. Methods. Comprehensive analysis of technical equipment and technology of work of points for processing heavy cargo on railway transport, statistical analysis, mathematical theory of inventory management, methods of correlation analysis. Results. The analysis of the technology and technical equipment of heavy cargo handling points is carried out, recommendations for their improvement are given. The nature of the arrival of vehicles on the cargo front has been studied, the mode of using loading and unloading machines has been studied, and a method for optimizing the technical equipment of the cargo front has been provided. The method for determining the optimal capacity of sites for heavy cargo has been improved. Practical significance. The studies carried out have shown that there are reserves for improving the transportation of goods by heavy small shipments through the development and application of optimal technology. The main direction in reducing the idle time of wagons is to optimize the processes of handling heavy cargo: increasing the capacity of technical equipment, improving the system of operational planning and management of the operation of points for processing heavy cargo. The application of the methodology makes it possible to evaluate various options for technical equipment at reduced costs, to calculate the optimal capacity of processing points for local and transit heavy cargo using the mathematical theory of inventory management and methods of correlation analysis. The task of drawing up an optimal operational plan for sorting heavy cargo is reduced to a linear programming transport problem and is solved with the help of computer technology.

The research is aimed to examine the safety climate in circle of farm workers. This paper is focusing on the main safety climate dimensions. The dimensions what the paper examine are sense of risk, optimism, pessimism, and contentment with the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) conditions. The safety climate is in a relatively stabile position. In the examined organizations it is important to develop OSH conditions on the organizational, physical and practical level. On the surface everything looks fine, but in the deep there are risks waiting to erupt.
The Theoretical Preliminary of the Mathematical Modeling in the Bread Baking

The industrial practice in bread making is to bake bread in an oven that is controlled at a constant temperature. Due to the oven structure, the bread effectively experiences four major temperature zones. On the other hand, temperature in each zone is the dominating factor on the baking mechanisms including gelatinisation, enzymatic reaction and browning reaction, therefore the final bread quality. This research aims to establish an optimal temperature profile for white-sandwich bread to achieve the best product quality. Experiments were conducted by a multi-level partial factorial design, where dough was baked in a process with 4 equally divided zones. Mathematical models were established to describe the effects of tin temperature and baking time in bread quality attributes

Natural vegetable waxes (esters of monocarboxylic fatty acid with primary monocarboxylic fatty alcohols, both saturated with linear hydrocarbonated chains) widespread in composition of horticultural products, with a major role in their physiology as a barrier to controlled transfer of water and other metabolites. Extruded products can be found on the foliar surface of fruits (pruine, suberine, cutine, etc.) where they exercise a protective function. The range constantly ascending to the large scale application as a film requires the diversification of the graded range by accessing the synthetic substitutes that requires toxicity demands and also, thermal or mass transfer performances. Polyoxyethylene chains with variable oligomerisation degree grefted with alcohols (phenols) with medium hydrocarbonate chain (C8, C9) can be esterified with fatty acids (C16, C18) saturated and / or polyunsaturated obtained through the ecological integrated recovery of seed material from tomatoes processing [C14(0Δ) (6,34%); C16(0Δ) (31,6%); C18(0Δ) (21,15%); C18 (1Δ) (40,81%)] grown in areas from west of Romania. Lipidic fraction was processed by solid/liquid repeated extraction with petroleum ether (p.f.=40–60°C) (Soxhlet method) and classic analytical evaluated (refractive index, specific weight, iodine, saponification index) and gaschromatographic (column). "Homogeneous" polyoxyethylene chains with medium/large oligomerisation degree (n=3,9,18) processed by the Williamson method "step by step" from dyethyleneglycol, further grafted to 2–ethyl–hexyl alcohol respectively nonylphenol, were purified and characterized chemically and physical - chemical (colloidal).
Physicochemical and Rheological Properties of Starches in Different Corn Types
Authors: TIMAR Adrian
Published: December 2021

Different corn grains were fractionated into different fractions on the basis of their size. The starches were separated from these fractions and evaluated for physicochemical and rheological properties. Significant difference was observed in various properties among different fractions of corn grains. Amylose content of starches from different corn types ranged between 15.3% and 25.1%. Rheological properties of the starches from different fractions of corn measured using a dynamic rheometer, showed significant variation in the peak G0, G00 and peak tand values. The turbidity of the gelatinized aqueous starch pastes from all the corn types increased with increase in storage period.
Atlas of Bettles Galerucella luteola Mull. Develops Again in the Republic of Moldova after a Long-Term Depressio

Published: December 2021

According to the survey conducted by Russian and foreign scientists and observers, the atlas of beetles appears to be capable of developing unexpected outburst of mass reproduction, which is almost impossible to destroy. Numerous damages caused by this bug result in an intense delay in growth and development of elms, sometimes can even cause destruction. This phenomenon is especially observed in Chisinau – that is drying of a number of elms. As a result, the aesthetic and decorative value of parks, forest plantations, and wood plantations is lost. Besides, the weakened trees are subject to the attacks of vermin and are damaged by the elm illness (micose Ceratocystis ulmi).
Mycorrhiza – Benefits, Influence, Diagnostic Method

Published: December 2021

By studying mycorrhizal symbiosis, another important step is made in knowing the relationship between plants and soil microflora. Benefits that these symbiosis bring to plants and ecosystem are semnificative for the interpretation of physiological factors, like: extending the volume of soil accessible to plants, acquiring nutrient forms that would not normally be available to plants; for the ecosystem an important role is to soil structure and mechanical aggregation. In the pasture that we studied in the Apuseni Mountains we found as dominant species Carex hirta, percent in the floristic composition is 35-40%, and that is the primary reason for studying this plant. The study area is positioned at 2 meters far from the forest and the soil is caracterized by a big humidity – the subteran water is at a high level. To identify the influence of the forest, of the humidity and the relation with other plants in the pasture, first step was to find that plants of Carex hirta is colonized by mycorrhizal symbiosis. We harvest the plants with root from a 15 to 20 cm deep and we colored teh roots with a solution of ink with vinegar. The proposed method for diagnosis of mycorrhizal colonization on Carex hirta roots is specific for the area where the studies took place.
Forage Quality Evaluation

The challenge for the research in crop and animal husbandry is how to determine the quality of a speci¬fied crop as a forage for ruminants by the chemical analysis of only a small amount of sample". Since more than hundred years scientists try to give an answer to that question. The most applied is the Weende and Van Soest system, together with the digestibility in vitro technique developed by Tilley and Terry. During the last decennia also non destructive methods, like the Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy NIRS, are used more frequently. Forages contain a lot of quality parameters (protein, fat, sugars, structural carbohydrates, vitamins, … but some of them contain also anti quality components (alkaloids, nitrates, …). The diet of domestic ruminants exists of more than only 1 component. Other diet components may interfere and mostly result in a synergism. The combination of a protein rich forage (legumes) with starch riches ones results in better animal productions than given as sole diet component. Fast and reliable non destructive methods are more attractive and acceptable than laborious, polluting and animal unfriendly ones.

Published: December 2021

The Transylvanian Plain, Romania is an important region for agronomic productivity. However, limited soils data and adoption of best management practices can hinder land productivity. Soil temperatures of the Transylvanian Plain were evaluated using a set of twenty datalogging stations positioned throughout the plain. Soil temperatures were monitored at the surface, 10 cm, 30 cm, and 50 cm, and soil moisture was monitored at 10 cm. Pedons were excavated, described, and sampled for physicochemical analysis. Preliminary results indicate that most soils of the Transylvanian Plain will have a mesic temperature regime. However, differences in seasonal warming and cooling trends across the plain were noted. These have important implications for planting recommendations. Some soils of the plain were noted to freeze at 50 cm, while others did not. Longer term study of temperatures of the Transylvanian Plain will average out annual variation in soil temperature and evaluate the impact of slope aspect, slope inclination, soil moisture, and physicochemical properties on soil temperatures.
Producer Organisations in Flanders (Belgium) Horticulture

Published: December 2021

The Flemish horticultural growers are united in producer organisations, i.c. cooperatives organising the auction markets. The cooperatives set up the entire infrastructure that allows for a transparent market: quality, supply, logistics, grading, storing and auction sales. This illustrates the co-operation and networking that is needed between several actors in order to come to a competitive and performing industry. Moreover, fruit and vegetables must be completely reliable and traceable. This is a sacrosanct principle and the reason why Flemish auction to align with the HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) standards. Flanders auctions are determined to bring renewal by innovations in product development (new varieties) and market structures (new value chains).
