Brauchen wir eine ökologische Ethik?
Authors: Wolf Ursula
Published: November 2018

Es ist heute viel davon die Rede, daß wir, wenn die Menschheit sich nicht selbst zerstören soll, eine neue Ethik brauchen. Die zwei großen Probleme, die die Existenz der Menschheit grundsätzlich gefährden, sind die atomare Bedrohung und die Umweltkrise. Mein Thema hier ist das zweite dieser Probleme. Gerade was dieses Problem betrifft, ist die Vorstellung verbreitet, daß seine Lösung nur durch einen Wandel in unseren ethischen Einstellungen zustandekommen könnte: Die Zerstörung der Natur lasse sich nur noch aufhalten, wenn wir von unserer bisherigen anthropozentrischen Ethik,die alle moralischen Verpflichtungen auf menschliche Bedürfnisse zurückführt, übergehen zum Standpunkt einer biozentrischen oder ökologischen Ethik, die allem Lebendigen oder - noch allgemeiner - allem Natürlichen bzw. der Natur oder Biosphäre im ganzen ein Eigenrecht zuerkennt.
Die Faszination der Amoralität
Authors: Neckel Sighard , Wolf Jürgen
Published: November 2018

Die offenkundige Attraktivität der Luhmannschen Systemtheorie gerade auch für »linke« Intellektuelle besteht nicht zuletzt in der erklärten Abstinenz der Theorie von jeder moralischen Gesellschaftskritik. Im Zentrum des Aufsatzes steht deshalb eine Auseinandersetzung mit der systemtheoretischen Soziologie der Moral. Es zeigt sich, daß die Luhmannsche Moraltheorie ihrem Anspruch, eine Soziologie der Moral mit moralfreien Begriffen zu formulieren, nicht gerecht wird, weil sie sich ihren eigenen historischen Voraussetzungen gegenüber indifferent zeigt. Die Luhmannsche Moraltheorie bringt letztlich ihren soziologischen Gegenstand, den sozialen Gehalt der Moral, zum Verschwinden. Sie gerät zur handlungsentlastenden Institution, die dem 'moralischen Minimalismus' (post)moderner Lebensformen zum theoretischen Ausdruck verhilft.
Marxismus und Entwicklungssoziologie
Authors: Booth David
Published: November 2018

Es wächst der Eindruck, daß die 'neue', in den frühen siebziger Jahren entstandene, marxistisch orientierte Entwicklungssoziologie förmlich in eine Sackgasse geraten ist. In diesem Aufsatz wird die Auffassung vertreten, daß es gute Gründe für das Unbehagen gibt; daß die Schwächen und Leerstellen der gegenwärtigen entwicklungssoziologischen Forschung nicht allein dem Einfluß eines einzelnen unter den radikalen Ansätzen (etwa der Dependenztheorie) zugeschrieben werden können; und schließlich, daß es zum Verständnis der festgefahrenen Lage erforderlich ist, sich von den theoretischen Kontroversen der vergangenen anderthalb Jahrzehnte zu lösen, um einige unterschwellige Gemeinsamkeiten der verschiedenen Ansätze in den Blick zu bekommen. Ein Schlüsselproblem, so wird dargelegt, ist die metatheoretische Verpflichtung des Marxismus, die 'Notwendigkeit' ökonomischer und sozialer Muster aufzuzeigen. Etwas anderes ist, sie zu erklären und zu untersuchen, wie sie verändert werden können.
Flexibilisierung und die Verselbständigung des monetären Weltmarkts
Authors: Hübner Kurt
Published: November 2018

Flexibilisierung in der Weltwirtschaft, insbesondere der Übergang zu flexiblen Wechselkursen bedeutet keineswegs ein Mittel zur Stabilisierung oder zum automatischen Ausgleich von Leistungsbilanzen. In diesem Aufsatz wird gezeigt, daß das System der flexiblen Wechselkurse und die dadurch erschlossenen spekulativen Anlagesphären von Geldkapital das institutionelle Ambiente für die im Gefolge der Überakkumulation von Kapital stattgefundene Verselbständigung des monetären Weltmarktes bereitstellte. Diese Flexibilisierung erscheint somit selbst als Ausdruck von Entwicklungen, die einen neuen langfristigen Aufschwung blockieren.
Hochtechnologie, Weltmarktentwicklung und strukturelle Transformation.
Authors: Castells Manuel
Published: November 2018

Im Zentrum des ökonomischen Restrukturierungsprozesses seit den siebziger Jahren stehen die neuen Technologien. Die Telekommunikationstechnologien sind dabei die elektronischen Autobahnen des einbrechenden Informationszeitalters, auf deren Boden eine neue Struktur der internationalen Arbeitsteilung entsteht. Von den Auswirkungen des Technikwandels sind die Ökonomien der Dritten Welt in besonderem Maße betroffen. Zu erwarten ist eine weitere Desintegration der nationalen Volkswirtschaften sowie eine Separierung der Ökonomien in einen höchst dynamischen internationalisierten Sektor, eine Reihe desintegrierter Segmente, die als abhängige Zuliefererbetriebe fungieren sowie eine Vielzahl lokaler Teilmärkte, die durch das Prinzip des täglichen E,findens von Überlebensstrategien regiert werden. Die weitaus überwiegende Zahl der Drittweltländer dürfte aus diesem neuen Verwertungszusammenhang völlig ausgeschlossen werden. Als Alternative zu diesen bedrohlichen Entwicklungstendenzen wird eine umfassende Nutzung des Entwicklungs- und Emanzipationspotentials der Neuen Technologien vorgeschlagen.
Handeln und Wandeln
Authors: Gerstenberger Heide
Published: November 2018

A. Giddens versteht seine neueren Publikationen zur theoretischen Konstitution der Gesellschaft und über den Nationalstaat als Beitrag zu einer Sozialtheorie, die den Dualismus von Struktur- und Handlungstheorie überwinden möchte. Dies ist ein - in Grenzen - überzeugendes Programm, dessen vorgelegte Ausarbeitung jedoch Kritik provoziert: Das Bemühen, strukturelle Erklärungen (z.B. von Staatenbildung) zu kritisieren und allen sozialen Wandel auf Handlungen zurückzuführen, läßt ihn alle ( insbesondere die in der Tradition des Historischen Materialismus vorgenommenen) Erklärungen von Herrschaftsformen verwerfen, die diese als durch ökonomisches Verhalten determinierte begreifen. Giddens' alternatives Konzept der Erklärung sozialen Wandels aus Koinzidenzenführt aber zu erheblichen Mängeln in den konkreten historischen Analysen und steht letztlich der Ausarbeitung jener Gesellschaftstheorie im Wege, welche in der »Theorie der Strukturierung« angelegt ist- einer, die die Bedeutung menschlicher Reflexion in Rechnung stellen will. Insbesondere ist ihm vorzuhalten, daß eine Theorie der Dualität von Handlung und Struktur ihren Fragehorizont nicht auf den Zusammenhang von sozialer Bewegung und Strukturentwicklung beschränken kann, sondern angeben müßte, auf welche Weise wir der Bedeutung des Alltags für die Strukturentwicklung auf die Spur kommen könnten.

Published: November 2018

This paper examines the relationship between budget deficit and economic growth in Vietnam, using VAR model. The results indicate that the relationship between budget deficit and economic growth is not clear. However, gross investment has a causal relationship with budget deficit and economic growth. The government should, therefore, implement and control the investment flows as well as effectively manage budget deficit in order to achieve a stable growth in the coming years.
Synthesis and immunogenicity evaluating of a discontinuous B-cell epitope predicted from influenza virus A/H5N1 HA antigen
Authors: Tran Kim Thi Hong , Tran Thuoc Linh
Published: November 2018

To develop vaccine with stable efficiency against easily transforming virus such as influenza A/H5N1 virus, bioinformatic tools have been used to predict conserved epitopes from viral antigens to be used as materials for the development of polyvalent vaccine against this virus. Using this approach, we have successfully predicted one discontinuous B-cell epitope, a peptide of 14 aminoacids on conserved domains of HA antigen from H5N1 influenza A virus. In this study, we report results of the preparation of this discontinuous B-cell epitope as the recombinant fusion form with H:1,2 flagellin from Salmonella typhimurium to increase the immunogenicity of this epitope using genetic manipulating techniques with Escherichia coli as host cell. The immunogenicity of the chemically synthesized predicted epitope and the recombinant epitope was examined by immunization of each of these epitopes to mice. Using hemagglutination inhibition (HI) method, we successfully demonstrated that both anti-sera from mice immunized either with chemically synthesized peptide or with recombinant flagellin H:1,2 fused epitope could recognize and inhibit the agglutination of inactivated influenza H5N1 virus strains, such as A/H5N1/ Chicken13/ Vietnam/LA/2006 and A/Vietnam/CL26/2004 (H5N1) isolated from infected chicken and human in Vietnam.

Authors: Pham Diem Thi My , Hoang Hoa Thi , Dang Vu Dinh , Tran Quyen Ngoc
Published: November 2018

In this study, we introduce a new kind of hydrogel based on oxidized chitosan for tissue adhesion. The hydrogel formed rapidly in a few seconds in the presence of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The in vitro cytocompatible experiment with fibroblast cell using kit live/dead assay showed that the hydrogel was highly biocompatible. Evaluation of tissue adhesion performed on pork skin the maximum tissue adhesive forces are 88 kPa for chitosan hydrogel and 105 kPa for oxidized chitosan hydrogel.. These results suggest that chitosan hydrogel possessed the wound healing ability and promises a tissue adhesive devices for biomedical applications.
Establishment of electroporation protocol for Bacillus subtilis 1012 and WB800N
Authors: Pham Tien Thi My , Phan Trang Thi Phuong
Published: November 2018

Bacillus subtilis has been developed as an attractive expression host because of many advantages. For examples, it is nonpathogenic and allows secretion of functional extracellular proteins directly into the culture medium; about 60 % of industrial enzymes available produced by Bacillus species. To use B. subtilis strain for research and as host strain for expression of recombinant protein, bacterial genetic methods should be developed. Electroporation to transfer directly DNA into B. subtilis is one of the methods that draw a lot of attention of scientists. A problem encountered in the methods that draw a lot of attention of scientists. A problem encountered in the electroporation of DNA into B. subtilis is that an established protocol for one strain can hardly be used for another strain. B. subtilis 1012 and WB800N have recently been used as expression hosts for expression of recombinant proteins, but electroporation method has not been established. In this study, we use a pHT plasmid to establish an electroporation protocol for B. subtilis 1012 and WB800N. The influence of sampling time, concentration and time for incubating with lysozyme, voltage on the transformation was investigated to establish the protocol.

Authors: Nguyen Thai Hong , Nguyen Thai Quang
Published: November 2018

The most typical method of tunneling in complicated geographical conditions is still blasthole drilling. To improve the efficiency of the work, Vietnam and several other countries have used drilling devices fitted with self-propelled hydraulic seven-link robotic arms which can also be manually controlled to modernize the drilling and blasting processes and improve the accuracy of the work. The task of controlling the robotic arm to automatically drill the holes exactly as specified in the passport of blasting prepared by geotechnical and underground construction engineers requires a control algorithm for the controller of the robot. The matter will be clearly presented in this article.

Advances in the dynamic characteristics of high -speed machine structure
Authors: Nguyen Loc Huu , Tran Thuy Van
Published: November 2018

The quality of machining is dependent on the machine’s dynamic behavior throughout the operating process. Because of the loads or vibration during operation, the rigidity of the machine structure can be reduced. Therefore, the study of advances in the dynamic characteristics has great significance for the development of machine tools, especially for high-speed machines. This paper presents the design and analysis of a rigid gantry structure with a spindle speed in the range of (6.000 ÷ 24.000)rpm, corresponding to the natural frequency of the machine structure more than (100 ÷ 400)Hz. Use CAE (computer-aided engineering) analysis software to analyze the natural frequency of machine structure. The research results show that the machine structure will have good stiffness, high vibration resistance and avoid resonance to achieve the best machining surface. In addition, it is the basis for selection of cutting mode suitable for the machining process in order to improve the reliability and efficiency of work of the machine structure and the accuracy of the processed products.

A RESPIRAÇÃO COMO FERRAMENTA PARA A AUTORREGULAÇÃO PSICOFISIOLÓGICA EM CRIANÇAS: UMA INTRODUÇÃO À PRÁTICA DA MEDITAÇÃO
Authors: Cruz Marina Zuanazzi , Pereira Jr. Alfredo
Published: November 2018

Learning self-regulation skills is essential for proper neurobiological and psychosocial development in childhood. In this study, we investigated the role of breathing, considered a fundamental resource for many meditation practices, as a tool to promote self-regulation in preschool-aged children. Respiratory modulation has been used as a technique in promoting psychophysiological regulation, due to its beneficial effect on the functioning of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), to its important role in the regulation of metabolism, and for promoting the entrainment of all the oscillatory systems in the body. The study has the goals of reviewing the psychophysiological basis of respiration, its relation to cognitive and affective processing, and to evaluate the capacity of preschool children to learn a breathing technique for self-regulation, supporting the development of educational strategies and health intervention programs that adopt meditation practices as a method to promote psychophysiological self-regulation in children.
Vulnerability of Farm Households to Impacts of the Abaca Bunchy Top Disease: A Case in Leyte, Philippines
Authors: Salomon Jedess Miladel
Published: November 2018

The abaca bunchy top disease (ABTD) has destroyed thousands of hectares of abaca farms, leading to the decline in agriculture and economic production of farmers and their households. This paper frames the widespread disease incidence as a disaster and analyzes the factors that made farm households in Barangay Pinamonoan, an abaca-growing community, vulnerable to the disease and its impacts. It grounds its analysis on the pressure and release (PAR) and access models by Blaikie et al (1994) and the sustainable livelihoods framework by Scoones (1998, 2009). From these, an analytical framework was developed to illustrate the complexity of the relationships of the different factors contributing to farm households’ vulnerability to a widespread crop disease.
The reliance of farm households on abaca production was influenced by the high global demand of abaca fiber. This global demand made abaca an important export commodity; hence, government policies and programs were focused on increasing its production and less on ensuring that the livelihoods of farm households were secure. While abaca production is profitable, sole reliance on this could prove disastrous in the event of a hazard. Access to resources determined how farm households absorbed the shock and recovered from it. Households who had significant assets were able to shift to other crops or enterprises. Households with access to people with resources and who could provide assistance were also more likely to cope. The most affected in the village were the households who, even before the disease, had limited resources, both in terms of material assets and social support networks.
Evaluation of Sugarcane-Based Land Utilization Types in Negros Occidental, Philippines
Authors: Corsiga Clea Anne , Badayos Rodrigo , Sanchez Pearl , Paterno Erlinda , Sta. Cruz Pompe
Published: November 2018

Five major soil series (Guimbalaon, Isabela, Luisiana, San Manuel, and Silay) in Negros Occidental were studied to identify the different sugarcane-based land utilization types (LUTs) in the province; determine the physical and chemical characteristics of different land utilization types cultivated to sugarcane; evaluate the existing management practices of different sugarcane-based land utilization types; and draw soil management recommendations for sugarcane production based on soil constraints of major soil series.
LUT 5 received the highest pH value and was also rated very high in exchangeable Ca and available P. Organic carbon content was rated very low in all LUTs and low in percent total N. Exchangeable Mg was rated medium in LUTs 1, 3, 5, and 6 while LUTs 5 and 6 were also rated medium in cation exchange capacity. Exchangeable K, on the other hand, was rated high in LUT 4 and low in LUTs 1, 2, 3, and 5 while exchangeable Na was rated low (LUT 1) to very low (LUTs 2–6). Soil management recommendations for constraints on topography in Guimbalaon and Luisiana series (LUTs 1, 2, and 4), were the implementation of a good soil conservation cropping and tillage practices such as contour terracing or farming while problems on wetness in Isabela, San Manuel, and Silay series (LUTs 1–6) could be managed by raising the height of the soil surface and elevate the site by adding 25-30cm of well-drained topsoil, compost or other organic matter to raise the planting zone and build drainage canals to direct water away from plants or other spots that collect water.
Contribuição das Ciências Ambientais e Pós-Normal na Preservação do Serviço Ecossistêmico de Polinização
Authors: Luccas Fernanda S. , Rocha Humberto R.
Published: November 2018

A polinização é essencial para a reprodução sexuada das plantas e garante a manutenção da variabilidade genética entre elas. A produtividade agrícola reduzida ou frutos deformados resultam, frequentemente, da polinização insuficiente e não do uso escasso de insumos agroquímicos. A agricultura, junto com as mudanças de uso da terra e, atualmente no Brasil, a alteração do código florestal, reúnem práticas danosas a qualidade do habitat que concentra as condições necessárias para a manutenção da biodiversidade e dos próprios serviços ecossistêmicos, como a polinização. A ciência ambiental, enquanto uma reunião de conhecimentos e ferramentas interdisciplinares, tem como propósito apresentar caminhos que resolvam tais desafios ambientais, muitas vezes propondo novas ferramentas de manejo dos recursos naturais. Tendo em vista esse contexto, o artigo procura discutir os conhecimentos emergentes das ciências ambiental e pós-normal para a proteção do serviço ecossistêmico de polinização.
Os “Últimos Refúgios” de Natureza Primitiva: As Reservas Biológicas e a Militância Ambiental de Augusto Ruschi (1940-1970)
Authors: Gonçalves Alyne dos Santos
Published: November 2018

Este artigo discute estratégias políticas de preservação do mundo natural, engendradas no interior de uma determinada relação homem/natureza, dada historicamente. Como estudo de caso, aborda aspectos da obra do naturalista capixaba Augusto Ruschi, no que tange ao processo de idealização e defesa de reservas florestais e biológicas no estado do Espírito Santo. A partir das redes científicas e políticas construídas desde os anos 1930-1940, Ruschi credenciou-se como protagonista do processo de determinação dos limites geográficos para a exploração socioeconômica dos recursos naturais capixabas. Por outro lado, sua influência não apresentou a mesma força nos anos 1960-1970, quando o modelo de desenvolvimento adotado naquele estado privilegiou a implantação de grandes projetos industriais. Em ambos os contextos, a proteção de fragmentos de “natureza primitiva” apresentou-se como um discurso estratégico diante de uma perspectiva utilitária de apropriação dos recursos naturais, sem, contudo, questionar a lógica do sistema capitalista.
Historia de un alimento bendito. Producción y consumo de papa en Costa Rica (1943-2015)
Authors: Coto Cedeño Wainer Ignacio
Published: November 2018

Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar el consumo de la papa en el contexto del sistema agroalimentario en Costa Rica, a lo largo del período 1943-2015. Se concluye que la consolidación de la papa en la dieta del país fue tardía, después de la segunda mitad de la década de 1980. Sin embargo, la dinámica de consumo cambió durante el proceso de liberalización económica, especialmente por la importación de papa procesada. La investigación se apoyó en bibliografía, fuentes primarias y estadísticas disponibles en el Ministerio de Agricultura y Ganadería (MAG), el Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos (INEC) y la Biblioteca Nacional.

Ele ocupa a faixa de transição entre os biomas Cerrado e Amazônia, apresentando uma paisagem particularmente rica em biodiversidade. O objetivo deste artigo é descrever as principais expressões do ambiente natural no PNA, contemplando aspectos da geologia, da hidrografia, do clima, dos solos, da flora e fauna. O delineamento dos sistemas ecológicos do parque é importante pois, ajuda a compreender como fatores ambientais podem influenciar as dinâmicas dos grupos sociais para a apropriação e uso do espaço. O estudo conclui que o PNA abriga um patrimônio natural importante, tanto do ponto de vista estético quanto científico, razão pela qual ele deve ser mantido.
Imaginando Otros Mundos: Apuntes Para Una Historia Ambiental En Tiempos Neoliberales
Authors: Chavarría Alejandro Bonada
Published: November 2018

Desde sus orígenes, la historia ambiental se ha convertido en una de las disciplinas que más se ha preocupado por las consecuencias de la degradación socioambiental. El contexto en el que surge se caracterizó por la competencia entre el socialismo real y el capitalista, resultando este último vencedor, abriéndose así el periodo conocido como “el final de la historia”, donde en neoliberalismo se consolidó como sistema hegemónico. Esta situación permeó el desarrollo de la disciplina, lo cual se puede apreciar en que buena parte de sus investigaciones se centran en el estudio de procesos destructivos, dejando en segundo nivel a los organizativos. En este sentido, este artículo busca reflexionar sobre estas cuestiones y presentar algunas propuestas metodológicas y epistemológicas, -productos del diálogo con otros esfuerzos académicos y sociales- que tienen como fin responder a los retos que el neoliberalismo del siglo XXI plantea.

Published: November 2018

The development of economy and society has resulted in an unstoppable and growing consumption of natural resources and the degradation of the environment. Social problems and environmental degradation are the result of these developments. Balancing social, environment and economic is the goal of sustainable development. Many countries have developed environmental assessment standards to support sustainable development concept. This paper presents a comparative study of nine (9) green building evaluation standards from both developed and developing countries to find similarities and differences in order to make future improvement on each standard to fulfill sustainable development concept. The comparison is done by reorganize criteria listed in those standards to match BREEAM evaluation criteria for ease of study. The study found that most building evaluation systems focuses mainly on environment and then economic while pay less attention on social side and most criteria gives higher emphasis to energy and environmental mitigation issues with "proactive" measures. The future development of evaluation standard, social impact need to be improved and minimization of building material use need to be preventive more than reactive management.

Background: Diabetes accounts for almost 6% of total global mortality, with 50% of diabetesassociated deaths being attributed to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Prevalence of type 2 diabetes in rural Bangladeshi and in urban Bangladeshi is found to be 7.2% and 10.5% respectively. People of developing countries suffer from the disease at earlier age than that of developed countries. Among the diabetic patients, vascular complications represent a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Diabetes is commonly accompanied by other cardiovascular risk factors: dyslipidemia, hypertension, and increased prothrombotic factors. Total plasma homocysteine (tHcy) is an emerging CVD risk factor. Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia in diabetes mellitus along with increased homocysteine is thought to cause endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial dysfunction together with other factors such as dyslipidemia, microalbuminemia etc. causes cardiovascular disease.Objectives: Objective of the study was to evaluate serum total homocysteine level and to correlate it with fasting lipid profile in type 2 diabetic patients.Methodology: This cross sectional study was conducted during the period of July 2011- June 2013 on 95 patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus, attending the Endocrine OPD of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU). The study was carried out in the Department of Biochemistry, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Shahbag, Dhaka. Study subjects were selected by purposive and convenient sampling technique.Result: Study subjects were categorized according to the presence or absence of hyperhomocysteinemia. Among the total study population hyperhomocysteinemia was found in 21.05 %. Among them number of male was greater. The study population had mean serum total cholesterol 198.34±39.62(mg/dl), triacylglycerol 198.91±116.71(mg/dl), LDL 126.75±35.38(mg/ dl), HDL 34.35±8.31(mg/dl), TC:HDL=15.67±6.07:1,and LDL:HDL=9.94±3.88:1 Independant sample t test showed that there was significant inverse association of hyperhomocysteinemia with HDL. Other parameters of lipid profile and lipid ratios did not show any significant association.Conclusions: Around one fifth of the type 2 diabetic patients had hyperhomocysteinemia. Significant inverse association was present between hyperhomocysteinemia and HDL. Other parameters of lipid profile and lipid ratios did not show any significant association.J Shaheed Suhrawardy Med Coll, June 2018, Vol.10(1); 42-46
