Wolność i godność w starożytnym Rzymie – dobra osobiste czy społeczne? Kilka uwag na tle poglądów Borysa Łapickiego
Authors: Czech-Jezierska Bożena
Published: May 2020

This paper takes an effort to present views of Roman law professor Borys Łapicki on the concept and meaning of liberty and dignity in ancient Rome. He saw a close relationship between these two ideas and he was trying to prove its social character. Borys Łapicki pointed out resulting in that kind of connection from the role of ethics in the development of ancient Roman law. However, applying the Marxist method in science was also used in some of his books. Despite criticisms in relation to Borys Łapicki’s works, his contribution to research on Roman law should be appreciated. He was both a scientist and humanist and he tried to pay attention to an ethic component in Roman law and this makes his ideas of liberty and dignity universal. It forms part of the concept of romanesimo which is understanding the Roman law as an important part of achievement European civilization and some kind of appropriate role model of legal culture.
Konkordat jako element polskiego systemu prawa wyznaniowego
Authors: Krzywkowska Justyna
Published: May 2020

The concordat defnes the scope of cooperation between the state and the Catholic Church for the good of the human person and the good of society at international level. The signing of the Concordat in 1993 was preceded by long negotiations conducted by two independent legal entities – the Holy See and the Polish State. Concordat norms detail the basic human rights already guaranteed in multilateral international agreements, e.g. in the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, ratifed by Poland on December 15, 1992 (Articles 9 and 14). In general, the subject ofthe concordat agreement is all matters of church life in its institutional and individual dimension. The purpose of the article is therefore to approximate the scope of the concordat agreement in force in Poland since 1998, as well as to place it in the Polish legal system
Kontrowersje wokół ustalania odpowiedzialności z tytułu naruszenia więzi rodzinnych jako dobra osobistego
Authors: Lackoroński Bogusław
Published: May 2020

The question if family relations can be deemed as a subject of a personal right effective erga omnes has been considered in Polish jurisprudence and judgments of different courts including the Supreme Court since 2010. In 2018 there was a breakthrough in this debate of great theoretical and practical significance. On March 27, 2018, the Supreme Court of Poland passed three resolutions in extended benches (7 judges) in which it was confirmed that family relations are recognized as a subject of a personal right and that their protection is effective erga omnes. The Supreme Court said also that pecuniary compensation for infringement of family relations which are subject to a personal right can be granted not only in case someone caused that a person – party to a family relation – is dead, but also that the person is seriously and permanently injured. The question of recognition family relation as a subject of a personal right and that their protection is effective erga omnes is very controversial in the jurisprudence of civil law. The controversies are discussed in this paper. The author of this paper does not consider the controversies as enough to question the general idea of recognition of family relations as a subject to a personal right (erga omnes). The author of this paper shares the general view of the Supreme Court (Civil Chamber) presented in the resolutions passed on March 27, 2018, provided to some minor critical remarks. However, it should be pointed out that on October 22, 2019, the Supreme Court (Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs Chamber) passed the resolution in an extended bench (7 judges) in which the admissibility of recognizing family relations as a subject to a personal right (erga omnes) has been questioned. It means that this question is to be resolved by the joint chambers of the Supreme Court.
Zadośćuczynienie za naruszenie autorskich praw osobistych po śmierci twórcy
Authors: Lewandowska Ewa
Published: May 2020

In art. 78 section 2 PrAut the right to protection and exercise of personal copyrights after the death of the creator has been granted to the persons mentioned in this provision. This is an extraordinary situation because, by its very nature, personal rights expire when a person dies. Such a solution raises discussion and is a source of doctrinal controversy. The subject and the rules of its compliance with the civil law system require determining what constitutes the subject of the protection granted, and therefore whether the claim for compensation for harm suffered as a consequence of the violation of personal copyrights after the death of the creator is a claim on behalf of the deceased creator, or is an autonomous personal right assigned to entities indicated in the Act. The paper discusses the concept of personal copyrights and their relationship to the personal rights of general law. There were pointed out the main theses of the literature on the subject of the protection of personal copyrights after the creator’s death. In this context, monetary recompense after the creator’s death has been considered. It was assumed that the decision depends on how the entity that raises a claim for monetary recompense will determine the harm.
O relacji dóbr osobistych osób prawnych i osób fzycznych
Authors: Lewandowski Paweł
Published: May 2020

The paper discusses the characteristics of the personal rights of legal persons, including the need to see the subjective aspect of the universal definition of personal rights. It has been assumed that a legal person may both infringe other’s personal rights and be injured by a violation of its personal rights. Due to the fact that the legal person has no feelings, does not show emotions, its personal rights should be perceived through the objective criteria. At the same time, due to the fact that the reﬂection of the action of a legal person is, among others, operation of its organs (Art. 38 of the Polish Civil Code), mutual relations between the violation of the personal rights of a legal person and natural persons associated with are inevitable, which confirmed these considerations.
Uchybienie przepisom o ochronie danych osobowych jako naruszenie dobra osobistego – analiza na przykładzie orzecznictwa Sądu Najwyższego

The study is concerned with the issue of mutual relationship between the failure to comply with the laws on personal data protection and regulations relating to the protection of personal interests, including in particular the right to privacy. The article presents the views held by the Supreme Court with respect to the possibility of considering acts infringing upon the provisions of the Personal Data Protection Act of 1997 (after 24 May 2018) and of the General Data Protection Regulation (after 25 May 2018) as violation of personal interests, such as the right to privacy. The author shared the view of the case law stating that, if in specifc circumstances the processing of personal data violates the right to privacy, the party concerned may seek remedy on the grounds of Articles 23 and 24 of the Polish Civil Code. This position isalso relevant after the entry into force of the GDPR which, in a comprehensive and exhaustive manner, directly applicable in all Member States, regulates the issue of liability under civil law for infringements of the provisions of the Regulation, however, according to the position expressed in professional literature, it does not exclude the concurrence of claims and violation of the provisions on the protection of personal interests caused by a specifc event. In case of improper processing of personal data, the remedies available under domestic law on the protection of personal interests may be of particular importance outside the subject matter scope of the GDPR applicability.

Human remains, not just corpses, are sometimes cultural goods. In the second part of our work, we present selected legal aspects of burials and images of human remains. The protection of burial and the image of human remains are legal issues that are very culturally determined, and that feature affects the approach to them found in case-law. The study indicates that both respect for the corpses and human remains, as well as image protection, are associated with the residue of the right to human dignity

The purpose of the publication is to assess the actual legal effects caused by the new regulation of 5 November 2019 on road traffic control in the area of the relationship between the inspector and the inspector. Contrary to widespread media views, the new provisions do not contain any revolutionary changes, but merely recite to the state legal order the European Union regulations of 2014 regarding technical inspections of commercial vehicles, or renew the old provisions of the repealed regulation. It is also noted that the new regulation includes several provisions that were issued without statutory delegation and relate to the rights and obligations of drivers. Their legality is therefore questionable.

Authors: Yunira Sandra , Fradina Siska , Sumbayak Mathilda , Putri Nunung Susilo , Derin Tatum
Published: May 2020

Meaning is the field of the study discussed in semantic science. Semantics is a branch of linguistics that studies the meaning of words in languages. In contrast, linguistics is the study of oral and written communications ​​that have systematic, rational, empirical characteristics as a description of the structure and rules of language. This present study argues that the meaning of a word in language can be known with the foundation of semantic science. The problems this present study focused on are the seven types of meaning and their descriptions in the book of Semantics by Geoffrey Leech: 1981. The research aims to classify and to identify seven types of meanings, and also to analyze Leech’s book and three article reviews of his theory. This present study uses a qualitative approach focusing on the words, phrases, and sentences regarding the theory. The result of this research confirmed that there are seven types of meaning based on Leech’s theory, namely conceptual, connotative, collocative, reflective, affective, social, and thematic. A novelty that this present study found is that the seven types of meaning have variations in their descriptions.

The aim of this study is to identify the pronouns used in journal articles in terms of numbers and familiarity. The total of the journal in this research was 21 articles taken from the current issue 2018 from three different fields i.e., Education, Medics and Engineering. Its selected conveniently due to its unique and fame as a discipline. In collecting the data, the researcher accessed the journals indexed in science direct. The analysis showed that the writer in these three international journals commonly used several pronouns interchangeably. However, some articles consistently used only one pronoun, which were recorded at different in different sections in the journal article. The data then coded and transcribed to ease the analysis in this researcher. As a result of the analysis, it was found out that the data showed 19 kinds of pronouns in total were used in these three different fields. These results showed us that the pronoun usage in a scientific article from these three different fields varies with options of different pronouns.  The pronoun seems used to help an impact of imposition and showing politeness or quality of the articles.

Published: May 2020

El poroma es un tumor benigno infrecuente derivado de la porción intraepitelial del epitelio ductal de la glándula sudorípara. La presentación clínica más habitual es un pápula o nódulo de color rosado a rojo, de pequeño diámetro, localizado con mayor frecuencia en palmas y plantas, generalmente asintomático. Debido a su variabilidad morfológica, los poromas son usualmente difíciles de reconocer, siendo la dermatoscopía una herramienta útil en su diagnóstico. Presentamos el caso de un paciente masculino con un gran tumor en su pierna derecha de 40 mm de diámetro, con características dermatoscópicas compatibles con poroma no pigmentado. El diagnóstico confirmatorio se realizó con una biopsia incisional seguido de la extirpación quirúrgica completa del tumor.

Published: May 2020

This study aims to discuss the adoption of financial reporting and accounting standards for small-medium enterprises (SMEs) by Muslim entrepreneurs. A structured questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data from the SME owners. 214 Muslim owners of SME businesses participated in the survey. The results show that only a few Muslim entrepreneurs prepared financial reports regularly. The main reason for preparing the statement is for calculating tax, borrowing money, and decision making. An unexpected finding from this study is that most of the Muslim owners are unaware of Standard for SMEs. Users of SME financial reports include tax authority, banks, and owners, or shareholders. This study enriches the financial reporting studies by examining the accounting standards for SMEs in a Muslim dominated country. The findings of this study also have implications for the Institute of Indonesia chartered accountants (IICA) as standard setter. IICA must routinely disseminate these standards to SMEs and also assist them in preparing financial reports
The Impact of E-Procurement Systems in the Biomedical Industry
Authors: Seetharaman A. , Patwa Nitin , Koek Wai Simon Lai , Shamir Ahammed
Published: May 2020

The evolution of the Internet has revolutionised the sourcing and procurement processes in organisations in every industry. The focus of this paper is to analyse the perception of business users on the factors which impact the usage of eprocurement systems in the biomedical industry. There are four factors identified in this research: i.e. control and compliance, cost savings, process automation, and improvements and transparency. The benefit of achieving process automation is the first biggest factor, followed by the need for control and compliance, and transparency, being the second and third factors respectively. The fourth factor, cost savings, is ignored because the users perceived that cost savings will not be realised in the short term, and the returns from the investment could be a couple of years after the eprocurement system has been fully operational. The research also concludes that the ability to perform business analytics and to strengthen the supply chain are the most important factors in measuring the success in the adoption of e-procurement systems
After-Tax Discounting: A Research Edge
Authors: Guo Hongtao
Published: May 2020

This research note addresses after-tax discounting for pricing assets. Specifically, it analyzes the appropriate way to discount after-tax payoffs from assets that trade in capital markets in which both taxable and tax-free investors can buy and sell both taxable and tax-free instruments.  The effect of the tax status of the investor and the tax status of the financing tool that an investor uses on price of an asset are discussed. Secondly, it derives the proper after-tax discount rate to use in the risk neutral valuation method for pricing assets that have state-contingent payments, typically structured in a lease based transaction. Dynamic state-contingent payoffs and cash flow processes are developed. Pre-tax discounted price, after-tax discounted payoffs are considered, then after-tax discount rate is derived. Included in this analysis of state-contingent discounting is the effect of depreciation expense, the only expense associated with the use of the asset, on after-tax discount rates.

Published: May 2020

Türkiye’de odun hammaddesine olan talep artışını karşılamak için ağaçlandırma çalışmalarına ağırlık verilmesi zorunluluk haline gelmiştir. Ağaçlandırma çalışmalarında genellikle kanaatkâr ve hızlı gelişen türlerin kullanılması tavsiye edilmektedir. Bu itibarla, ülkemizde Sahilçamı (Pinus pinaster Ait.) endüstriyel ağaçlandırmalarda kullanılacak iyi bir tür olarak gözükmektedir. Bu nedenle, Sahilçamı’ nın gelişimini ve büyümesini etkileyen en önemli yetişme ortamı faktörlerini ve etki derecelerini saptayarak dönem sonunda en yüksek geliri elde etmek için verimliliğin en yüksek olduğu yerlerden çalışmaya başlamak önem arz etmektedir. Dolayısıyla, bu türün en iyi gelişme gösterdiği Batı Karadeniz Bölgesi’nde yetişme ortamı özelliklerini araştıran çalışmaların yetersiz olduğu görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Sinop-Bektaşa Orman İşletme Şefliği sınırları içerisinde yayılış gösteren Sahilçamı ağaçlandırma alanındaki toprakların mutlak derinlik, mekanik bileşim (tekstür), toprak tepkimesi, organik madde miktarı, dış toprak durumu ve humus formu gibi bazı özellikleri ile verimlilik (bonitet endeksi) arasındaki ilişkiler belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu amaçla, Sinop-Bektaşa Orman İşletme Şefliği sınırları içerisindeki Sahilçamı meşcerelerinden, 35 adet örnek alandan toplam 145 adet toprak örneği alınmıştır. Alınan toprak örnekleri üzerinde toprak türü, toprak reaksiyonu, organik madde, faydalanabilir su kapasitesi (FSK) vb. gibi özellikler belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca her bir örnek alan için 20 yaşındaki üst boy değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Hesaplanan verimlilik endeksi iyi, orta, düşük olmak üzere 3 gruba ayrılmıştır. Her bir örnek alandaki verimlilik endeksi ile bazı toprak özellikleri arasındaki ilişkiler istatistiksel olarak ortaya konulmuştur. Sonuç olarak; verimlilik endeksi ile % kil miktarı, % toz miktarı, ortalama % organik madde ve ortalama % FSK arasında pozitif, % kum miktarı arasında negatif ilişkiler bulunmuştur.

Autotaxin inhibition attenuates endothelial permeability after ischemia-reperfusion injury
Authors: Strumwasser Aaron , Cohan Caitlin M. , Beattie Genna , Chong Vincent , Victorino Gregory P.
Published: May 2020

BACKGROUND: Autotaxin (ATX-secretory lysophospholipase D) is the primary lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) producing enzyme. LPA promotes endothelial hyper-permeability and microvascular dysfunction following cellular stress. OBJECTIVE: We sought to assess whether ATX inhibition would attenuate endothelial monolayer permeability after anoxia-reoxygenation (A-R) in vitro and attenuate the increase in hydraulic permeability observed after ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in vivo. METHODS: A permeability assay assessed bovine endothelial monolayer permeability during anoxia-reoxygenation with/without administration of pipedimic acid, a specific inhibitor of ATX, administered either pre-anoxia or post-anoxia. Hydraulic permeability (Lp) of rat mesenteric post-capillary venules was evaluated after IRI, with and without ATX inhibition. Lastly, Lp was evaluated after the administration of ATX alone. RESULTS: Anoxia-reoxygenation increased monolayer permeability 4-fold (p < 0.01). Monolayer permeability was reduced to baseline similarly in both the pre-anoxia and post-anoxia ATX inhibition groups (each p < 0.01, respectively). Lp was attenuated by 24% with ATX inhibition (p < 0.01). ATX increased Lp from baseline in a dose dependent manner (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Autotaxin inhibition attenuated increases in endothelial monolayer permeability during A-R in vitro and hydraulic permeability during IRI in vivo. Targeting ATX may be especially beneficial by limiting its downstream mediators that contribute to mechanisms associated with endothelial permeability. ATX inhibitors may therefore have potential for pharmacotherapy during IRI.

Published: May 2020

BACKGROUND: High surgical risk patients presenting with severe mitral valve regurgitation (MR) and concomitant aortic valve disease are frequently a challenge for the interdisciplinary heart team meeting. If open-heart surgery for severe MR is performed, aortic stenosis (AS) or regurgitation (AR) is corrected during the same procedure if at least moderate severity of AS or AR has been confirmed. In patients with prohibitive surgical risk, optimal management strategies in the light of available transcatheter interventions still needs to be established. METHODS AND RESULTS: In this retrospective single center study, we aimed to investigate the impact of coincident moderate aortic valve disease on the outcome of patients undergoing MitraClip for severe MR. In 286 MitraClip procedures performed in our institution, 21 patients (7,3%) were identified to suffer from concomitant moderate AS and 28 patients had moderate AR (9,8%). Patients with AS were found to have a higher incidence of >moderate MR following the procedure when compared to patients without aortic valve disease (14,3% vs. 8,9%, p = 0.001). No differences between the groups were found regarding a combined endpoint of all cause deaths and heart failure hospitalizations after 1 year follow up (no aortic-valve disease vs. moderate AS: 19% vs 18%; p = 0,881 and no aortic valve disease vs moderate AR: 19% vs. 25%; p = 0.477). However, mortality was significantly higher in patients with coincidental moderate AR (3.8% patients without aortic valve disease, 5% in patients with AS, 17,9% in patients with AR; p = 0.006). CONCLUSION: According to our analysis coincidental Aortic valve stenosis may be associated with worse technical results regarding residual MR after MitraClip. Although our results regarding a combined endpoint of all-cause mortality and heart failure hospitalizations within one year of follow up were comparable between the groups, patients with moderate AR had significantly higher mortality rates. Due to the limited number of patients, our study is only hypothesis generating. Larger trials are necessary to confirm our result.

Published: May 2020

BACKGROUND: Platelet activation is associated with abdominal obesity and exercise training is an important modulator of body weight. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the effects of two high intensity interval exercise (HIIE) protocols of different intensity and duration on platelet indices and platelet aggregation in overweight men. METHODS: Ten overweight men performed 6 intervals of 30s exercise at 110% of peak power output (PPO) interspersed by 3 : 30 min active recovery (1/7 protocol) at 40% of PPO and 6 intervals of 2 min exercise at 85% of PPO interspersed by 2 min active recovery (1/1 protocol) at 30% of PPO in two separate sessions. Platelet indices and platelet aggregation were measured before and immediately after both HIIEs. RESULTS: Platelet indices increased significantly following HIIE (P < 0.05), though, significant differences between the two protocols were only detected for platelet count, which was markedly increased following 1/1 protocol. Platelet aggregation increased significantly (P < 0.05) in response to the two HIIE protocols, with no significant difference being observed between the two protocols (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: It is concluded that HIIE leads to transient increases in markers of thrombus formation and that work to rest ratio is an important factor when investigating the changes in thrombocytosis following HIIE.

BACKGROUND: Dynamic and globalized business environment incites organizations to be innovative for long-term survival. This central role of innovation provokes the continuing interest of social scientists in determining the antecedents of Innovative work behavior in organizations. OBJECTIVE: In line with the prior studies, this study aims to investigate the role of inclusive leadership in fostering employee innovative work behavior. Additionally, this study also investigates the mediating role of psychological safety. METHODS: Data were collected through a questionnaire from employees working in Pakistani banks. Hypothesized relationships were analyzed using structural equation modeling. RESULTS: The findings of the study depicted a positive relationship between inclusive leadership and IWB, while mediation of psychological safety was also established. CONTRIBUTION: This study contributes to the existing literature in multiple ways. Although the link between inclusive leadership and creativity is measured but in what ways inclusive leadership develops the perception of employees, which leads towards positive outcomes is a contribution. This study extends the understanding of relational leadership by focusing on its specific dimension that is IL, instead of focusing on the broader construct of leadership.

Published: May 2020

Background:

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by an involvement of brain dopamine (DA) circuitry, the presence of which has been associated with emergence of both neuropsychiatric symptoms and cognitive deficits.

Objective:

In order to investigate whether and how the DA pathways are involved in the pathophysiology of AD, we assessed by in vivo neuroimaging the structural and metabolic alterations of subcortical and cortical DA pathways and targets.

Methods:

We included 54 healthy control participants, 53 amyloid-positive subjects with mild cognitive impairment due to AD (MCI-AD), and 60 amyloid-positive patients with probable dementia due to AD (ADD), all with structural 3T MRI and 18F-FDG-PET scans. We assessed MRI-based gray matter reductions in the MCI-AD and ADD groups within an anatomical a priori-defined Nigrostriatal and Mesocorticolimbic DA pathways, followed by 18F-FDG-PET metabolic connectivity analyses to evaluate network-level metabolic connectivity changes.

Results:

We found significant tissue loss in the Mesocorticolimbic over the Nigrostriatal pathway. Atrophy was evident in the ventral striatum, orbitofrontal cortex, and medial temporal lobe structures, and already plateaued in the MCI-AD stage. Degree of atrophy in Mesocorticolimbic regions positively correlated with the severity of depression, anxiety, and apathy in MCI-AD and ADD subgroups. Additionally, we observed significant alterations of metabolic connectivity between the ventral striatum and fronto-cingulate regions in ADD, but not in MCI-AD. There were no metabolic connectivity changes within the Nigrostriatal pathway.

Conclusion:

Our cross-sectional data support a clinically-meaningful, yet stage-dependent, involvement of the Mesocorticolimbic system in AD. Longitudinal and clinical correlation studies are needed to further establish the relevance of DA system involvement in AD.

Published: May 2020

Background:

Aberrant angiogenesis may play a role in the development of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia.

Objective:

To explore the relationship between angiogenesis activity and evidence of neurodegeneration among older adults.

Methods:

Cross-sectional study of 49 older adults clinically characterized as cognitively normal, mild cognitive impairment, or early Alzheimer’s disease. In addition to neuroimaging, we completed assays on peripheral blood, including: vascular endothelial growth factor, tumor necrosis factor, fibroblast growth factor, and amyloid-β peptide 40. We used advanced polychromatic flow cytometry to phenotype circulating mononuclear cells to assess angiogenesis activity.

Results:

Although we documented differences in cognitive performance, structural changes on neuroimaging, and burden of amyloid and tau on positron emission tomography, angiogenesis activity did not vary by group. Interestingly, VEGF levels were shown to be increased among subjects with mild cognitive impairment. In ANCOVA models controlling for age, sex, intracranial volume, and monocyte subpopulations, angiogenesis activity was correlated with increased white matter hyperintensities.

Conclusion:

We demonstrate a significant association between angiogenesis activity and cerebrovascular disease. To better understand the potential of angiogenesis as an intervention target, longitudinal studies are needed.
Flickering Red-Light Stimulus for Promoting Coherent 40 Hz Neural Oscillation: A Feasibility Study
Authors: Sahin Levent , Figueiro Mariana G.
Published: May 2020

Background:

Coherent 40 Hz (gamma) neural oscillation indicates healthy brain activity and is known to be disrupted in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients. 40 Hz entrainment by flickering light is known to significantly attenuate AD pathology in mice.

Objective:

To demonstrate the feasibility of using a lighting intervention to promote coherent 40 Hz neural oscillation, improved working memory performance, and reduced subjective sleepiness among a population of healthy young adults. If successful, the intervention could be extended to address cognitive impairment associated with mild cognitive impairment and AD.

Methods:

Nine healthy participants (median age 22 years, five females) were exposed to one of two lighting conditions per session in a within-subjects counterbalanced manner. The study’s two sessions were separated by 1 week. Custom-built light masks provided either a 40 Hz flickering red light (FRL) intervention or a dark control condition (i.e., total darkness, light mask not energized) at participants’ eyes. Data were collected four times per session: pre-exposure, after 25-min exposure, after 50-min exposure, and post-exposure. Each data collection period included a Karolinska Sleepiness Scale report, an electroencephalogram, and working memory ( n-back) auditory performance testing.

Results:

The FRL intervention induced a significant increase in 40 Hz power and a modest increase in low gamma power. The intervention had no significant impact on working memory performance and subjective sleepiness compared to the control. However, increases in 40 Hz power were significantly correlated with reduced subjective sleepiness.

Conclusion:

The results clearly demonstrate the feasibility of using a flickering light to increase 40 Hz power.

Published: May 2020

BACKGROUND: It is known that 1-MCP delays softening in kiwifruit. Time to ripen (eating-window) and its variability are considered useful for planning commercial strategies. However, few studies report the firmness and quality changes during long-term cold storage. OBJECTIVES: To study the effects on ripening and sensory attributes of different 1-MCP treatments during long (180 d) and very long-term (≥210 d) cold storage. Then, the optimal 1-MCP dose was applied to determine the time to ripen after cold storage for 30 to 240 d. METHODS: Kiwifruits were treated with 1-MCP: 0.0 (control), 0.5 and 1.0μL L–1. Maturity indices and sensory analysis were achieved after 180 and 210 d of storage at 0 °C. Ethylene production was also measured. Firmness and number of fruits at eating-ripe state (at 20 °C) were monthly determined after 30 to 240 d of cold storage. RESULTS: 1-MCP (1.0μL L–1) delayed kiwifruit softening and prolonged the storage to up 180 d. Longer periods were associated to losses due to over-ripe. Eating windows of 1-MCP-treated fruits were longer than those for untreated fruits. CONCLUSIONS: 1.0μL L–1 1-MCP extends the postharvest life of ‘Hayward’ kiwifruit and prolongs the eating window, allowing to plan different commercialization strategies.
Transforming and decision-making based on probabilistic linguistic term sets with comparative linguistic expressions and incomplete assessments
Authors: Shen Ao , Peng Shuling , Liu Gaofei
Published: May 2020

The probabilistic linguistic term sets (PLTSs) are widely used in decision-making, due to its convenience of evaluation, and allowances of probability information. However, there are still some cases where it is not convenient to give an evaluation using the PLTS gramma. Sometimes the evaluators can only give a comparative relationship between alternatives, sometimes evaluators may have difficulty understanding all the alternatives and cannot give a complete assessment. Therefore, we propose a method to transform the comparative linguistic expressions (CLEs) into PLTSs, and the comparison objects of CLEs are alternatives evaluated by PLTSs. And the probability distribution has been adjusted to make the transformation more in line with common sense. Then, a method to correct the deviation is proposed, allowing alternatives to be compared in the case of incomplete assessment. Combining the above two methods, we propose a decision-making method when both CLEs and incomplete assessments coexist. With the study in this paper, the limitations of PLTS-based evaluation and decision-making are reduced and the flexibility of using PLTS is improved.
A reference architecture for plausible Threat Image Projection (TIP) within 3D X-ray computed tomography volumes
Authors: Wang Qian , Megherbi Najla , Breckon Toby P.
Published: May 2020

BACKGROUND:

Threat Image Projection (TIP) is a technique used in X-ray security baggage screening systems that superimposes a threat object signature onto a benign X-ray baggage image in a plausible and realistic manner. It has been shown to be highly effective in evaluating the ongoing performance of human operators, improving their vigilance and performance on threat detection.

OBJECTIVE:

With the increasing use of 3D Computed Tomography (CT) in aviation security for both hold and cabin baggage screening a significant challenge arises in extending TIP to 3D CT volumes due to the difficulty in 3D CT volume segmentation and the proper insertion location determination. In this paper, we present an approach for 3D TIP in CT volumes targeting realistic and plausible threat object insertion within 3D CT baggage images.

METHOD:

The proposed approach consists of dual threat (source) and baggage (target) volume segmentation, particle swarm optimisation based insertion determination and metal artefact generation. In our experiments, real baggage data collected from airports are used to generate TIP volumes for evaluation. We also propose a TIP quality score metric to automatically estimate the quality of generated TIP volumes.

RESULT:

In our experiments with real baggage CT volumes and varying threat items, 90.25% of the generated TIP volumes are graded as good by human evaluation, 7% of them are of medium quality with minor flaws and 2.75% of them are bad.

CONCLUSION:

Qualitative evaluations on real 3D CT baggage imagery show that our approach is able to generate realistic and plausible TIP which are indiscernible from real CT volumes and the TIP quality scores are consistent with human evaluations.

Authors: Redacción Consejo de
Published: May 2020

Las cajas de ahorro están de actualidad, y no siempre para bien. Partiendo de un breve análisis de los orígenes históricos de las cajas y de su especificidad, nuestro editorial pasa revista a la evolución posterior de las mismas en un contexto de creciente liberalización del sistema financiero español. Ante esa evolución, se han producido cambios importantes en el comportamiento estratégico de las cajas, lo que ha conducido a una situación actual que se caracteriza, al mismo tiempo, por un peso relativamente importante dentro del sistema bancario de nuestro país, junto a una dificultad creciente para mantener su identidad distintiva, debido precisamente a las presiones políticas, económicas y sociales a las que se alude en el título. El editorial concluye resumiendo la postura de nuestra revista en orden a mantener la peculiaridad de las cajas de ahorro y sus singularidades, sin dejar por ello de ser competitivas.
Algunos puntos críticos de la salud laboral y del marco jurídico preventivo
Authors: Alemán Páez Francisco
Published: May 2020

La siniestralidad laboral y la política preventiva siguen siendo «asignaturas pendientes» del sistema español de relaciones laborales. Pese a los esfuerzos de adaptación normativa llevados a cabo tras la Ley 31/1995, de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales, y la incorporación de numerosas Directivas Comunitarias, las tasas de accidentes, lejos de minorar, han aumentado en una tónica evolutiva. En el presente artículo se aborda parte de dicha problemática en aras de una institucionalización más adecuada del marco jurídico preventivo.
