Prevalence of endo and enctoparasites in psittaciformes raised in the state of Espirito Santo
Authors: Cantarin Neiva Débora , Vilhena Freire Martins Isabella
Published: October 2022

As aves são parasitadas por diversos parasitos, e na natureza são menos suscetíveis às alterações causadas pelo parasitismo, todavia em cativeiros a susceptibilidade pode aumentar por diversos fatores, como por higiene e manejo precários. As aves da ordem Psittaciformes possuem um convívio frequente com pessoas, podendo impor riscos ambientais e sanitários. Assim, o objetivo do presente estudo foi realizar exames parasitológicos em aves cativas da ordem Psittaciformes visando conhecer sua fauna parasitológica, e avaliar os resultados com o tipo de manejo e ambiente em que se encontram para adotar medidas adequadas de profilaxia. Este trabalho foi autorizado pela Comissão de Ética no Uso de Animais da UFES de Alegre, e pelo Sistema de Autorização e Informação em Biodiversidade (SISBIO) do ICMBio. Foram analisadas 200 aves de quatro criações no estado do Espírito Santo, sendo 126 casais de calopsitas de criações domésticas no município de Alegre e 74 indivíduos de espécies de psitacídeos do Zoológico Zoo Park da Montanha, em Marechal Floriano. As fezes foram recolhidas e processadas pela técnica de Centrífugo Flutuação Simples no laboratório de Parasitologia do HOVET-UFES, e a penugem das calopsitas e psitacídeos foram analisadas manualmente e em estereomicroscópio. Foram realizados o ambiente e os aspectos sanitários aos quais as aves eram submetidas. Os dados obtidos foram sumarizados por estatística descritiva. Os parasitos encontrados foram Eimeria sp., Capillaria sp., Ascaridia sp., Neopsittaconirmus sp. e o ácaro Neorthydelasma sp. As recomendações de profilaxia e de controle foram feitas baseadas nos resultados deste estudo e na avaliação da situação atual em que cada ave se encontrava, apresentando uma associação dos manejos adequados para com as aves com a presença e diversidade de parasitos. Este estudo enfatiza a necessidade de mais estudos parasitológicos em aves desta ordem, visto que são animais carismáticos e convivem com a sociedade em harmonia.

O feocromocitoma é uma neoplasia funcional produtora de catecolaminas, localizado na região medular das glândulas adrenais. Por apresentar sinais inespecíficos, escassez de ferramentas diagnósticas e ainda estar associado a doenças concomitantes, pode não ser considerado como afecção diferencial entre médicos veterinários. O feocromocitoma é uma neoplasia incomum e acomete animais com idade média a avançada, sendo o Poodle Miniatura, Pastor Alemão, Boxer, Golden Retriever e Pinscher as raças mais acometidas. As manifestações clínicas variam de acordo com os efeitos das catecolaminas e/ou comprometimento circulatório pela invasão local do tumor em estruturas adjacentes. Desta forma pode ser observado hipertensão arterial sistêmica e consequência em órgãos alvo como sistema nervoso central, rins e alterações oculares. O diagnóstico consiste na suspeita clínica, acompanhada de adrenomegalia nos exames de imagem. A mensuração de catecolaminas e seus metabolitos, como a metanefrina, normetanefrina e ácido vanilmandélico são ferramentas diagnósticas definitivas e como alternativa, a dosagem de inibina sérica pode ser feita na pesquisa de feocromocitoma. A adrenalectomia é a terapia de escolha, porém na inviabilidade deste, devem ser usados fármacos bloqueadores α e β adrenérgicos. O prognostico é variável entre reservado a ruim.
ENZYMATIC ACTIVITY OF THE FUNGUS Pochonia chlamydosporia (SORDARIOMYCETES: HYPOCREALES) AND ITS OVICIDAL POTENTIAL ON EGGS OF Toxocara canis (NEMATODA: ASCARIDIDA)

Published: October 2022

Biological control is considered one of the most used alternative measures to combat helminths of relevance in veterinary medicine and public health. Among these parasites, Toxocara canis stands out for its high prevalence and worldwide distribution, in addition to being the main cause of visceral larva migrans in man. The present work aimed the fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia (isolate Pc-10) on eggs of T. canis. In order to do this, fertile nematode eggs were obtained by dissection of adult females fertilized specimens. After obtaining the eggs, they were inserted into 24 well plates previously À lled with different concentrations of enzymatic extract of the fungus (100, 200, 400 and 500 μL). In addition, the behavior of P. chlamydosporia hyphae on Toxocara canis eggs was also observed in 2% wateragar medium (2% WA+ fungal isolate) when compared to the control group (2% WA + water). It was veriÀ ed ovicidal activity with the enzymatic extract of P. chlamydosporia at concentrations of 400 and 500 μL. At the same time, after 12 days of exposure of the T. canis eggs to P. chlamydosporia mycelia it was possible to observe the fungus action on eggshells, including penetration of the hyphae and colonization of the egg inside. The results conÀ rm the ovicidal potential of the fungus and suggest its applicability in toxocariasis control programs.

Induced Abortion and Life Satisfaction in Germany: The Role of Selection Processes and Short-Term Effects
Authors: Huss Björn , Kaiser Florian
Published: October 2022

Unintended pregnancies resulting in induced abortion are occasionally associated with poor psychological well-being. In the literature, this is attributed to either (1) the consequences of abortion, (2) the consequences of unintended pregnancy, or (3) specific selection processes. This longitudinal study addresses these explanations based on data from the German family panel “pairfam” (n = 3,604 women). It compares changes in life satisfaction among different groups of women: Those who had an abortion, those who had a live birth, and those who were not pregnant. A matching procedure ensures the comparability of the groups. The results show that women reported temporarily lower life satisfaction immediately after abortion than similar women following live birth or in absence of pregnancy, while no significant group differences were found in the long run. However, abortion is preceded by significantly lower pre-event life satisfaction than live birth or absence of pregnancy. Persistent poor well-being should therefore primarily be considered a selection criterion for abortions resulting from unintended pregnancies rather than as their consequence.
A modern nagyváros vizuális reprezentációi. Irodalom és fotóművészet kapcsolódásai
Authors: Kovács Krisztina
Published: October 2022

A magyar nagyváros vizuális megközelítése az európai nagyváros dimnezióival kezdődik. A város a modern kultúra első nagyszabású, képek végtelen sorát inspiráló témája, az európai modernizmus kultuszhelye, a hely, ahol a dolgok történnek: a hely, ahova postakocsin vagy vonaton érkezünk. A várost bejáró flâneur, a sétáló, köztük a fotós olyan forgatókönyvíró és rendező szerepét veszi fel, aki más emberek életének töredékeit kedve szerint történetté alakítja. A szövegek és a képek helyszínei, az előterek, a passzázsok, az utcák a modern városépítészeti diskurzus tételei szerint csupán „üres terek”, hely akkor válik belőlük, ha a kulturális és regionális kontextusból adódó jelentést kapnak. Ezek a térségek a teatralitás tereiként kezdenek működni, az utca a város olyan nyilvános tartozéka lesz, ahol a különböző kulturális hátterekhez, hagyományokhoz tartozó csoportok összetalálkoznak. Az utca kínálta látványokat szemléző művészek karakterei között egyre inkább és egyre gyakrabban bukkan fel a modellt kereső művész figurája, aki a várost fáradhatatlanul járó költő, író, újságíró, a modernitást dokumentáló festő és szobrász mellett egyre inkább a fotós lesz.

„Nézzük a fényképet”: egy ikonikus sajtófotó ekphraszisza Farkas Péter Kreatúra című kisregényében
Authors: Milián Orsolya
Published: October 2022

Ahelyett, hogy az ekphrasziszok pusztán csak passzívan kiaknáznák a jelenkori képáradat és a képekhez való könnyű online hozzáférhetőség jelentette lehetőségeket, jelentésalkotó és jelentésmódosító vagy éppen a nézői gyakorlatokat problematizáló ténykedéseik által aktívan szerepet vállalnak a vizuális kulturális jelenségek recepciójában, és számot adnak a látás(módok) mediális, szociokulturális, történeti meghatározottságáról is. Az ekphrasziszok vizsgálata így azzal járhat, hogy esztétikai, mediális vagy bizonyos esetekben etikai kérdéseket fogalmazunk meg a vizuális reprezentációval és annak nyelvi megszövegezésével kapcsolatban, s hogy rákérdezünk arra, vajon az adott ekphraszisz megtámogatja vagy inkább megkérdőjelezi a látás uralkodó vagy szokványos módozatait.A történelmi eseményt és az emberi szenvedést dokumentáló ikonikus sajtófotó alapján születő szépirodalmi ekphrasziszok speciális kulturális, esztétikai és etikai kérdéseket vonzanak magukhoz, mint például: hogyan alkotható újra, hogyan ragadható meg egy fotografikusan közvetített múltbeli pillanat verbálisan akkor, ha maga a szerző nem volt a vizuálisan dokumentált események szemtanúja? Milyen narratív stratégiákat, nézőpontokat és keretező eljárásokat léptethet életbe egy ekphraszisz, ha egy traumatikus – vagy éppen abjekt – fotográfiát igyekszik leírni? Milyen egyéni vagy kollektív látásmódokról és viszonyulásokról tanúskodik egy ekphraszisz más emberek szenvedésével kapcsolatosan? A fenti kérdések vizsgálatához a jelen tanulmány a Farkas Péter Kreatúra című kisregényében (2009) szereplő legterjedelmesebb, a James Nachtwey által készített, szudáni éhező férfit ábrázoló Famine Victim in a Feeding Center [kb. Egy éhezés áldozata egy etetőközpontban] című, 1993-ban készült ikonikus sajtófotóra, illetve részben Kevin Carter szintén 1993-as A keselyű és a kislány című fotográfiájára reagáló ekphraszisznak az elemzésével járul hozzá.
Felfedezés és elhelyezés. Tanulságok Dulovits Jenő fotóművész-feltaláló életművének feltárásakor
Authors: Fejér Zoltán György
Published: October 2022

Dulovits Jenő (1903–1972) tanár, fotóművész, szakíró és feltaláló a magyar fotótechnika-történet egyik legfontosabb, világhírűnek mondható alkotója. 1936–1959 között megjelent magyar, német, francia, cseh, holland és orosz nyelvű könyveinek rokonszenves fotói és szöveges tartalma miatt a hazai és európai amatőr fényképészek ezrei követték képkészítéssel kapcsolatos útmutatásait. Ezek legnagyobbrészt a téma ellenfényes megvilágítására és a lágyított képi rajzra vonatkoztak.A találmányain és szabadalmain alapuló műszaki megoldások egy része, így például a lágyító előtétlencse (DUTO) és az általa megtervezett fényképezőgép (DUFLEX) nevét hordozta és ezek az egész világon ismertté tették őt.A szerző húszévnyi munkáját foglalta össze tanulmányában. 2001-től szisztematikus alapossággal megismerte és feltárta Dulovits Jenő életét. Ehhez a szekunder adatokon túl levéltári kutatásai során megszerzett primer adatokat is felhasznált. Egy rokon megtalálása után megkapta Dulovits megmaradt személyes dokumentumait és iratait. Így olyan mennyiségű hiteles adat állt rendelkezésére, amiből már megírhatta és 2003-ban meg is jelentethette az életrajzot. Könyvekben, újságcikkekben és több kiállításon is közzétette az összegyűjtött anyagot. Ezeket a dokumentumokat 2019-től napjainkig különböző hazai közgyűjteményeknek, könyvtáraknak és múzeumoknak több részletben adta át, így biztosítva azt, hogy azokhoz a későbbi nemzedékek is hozzáférhessenek.A közzétételt az is indokolja, hogy a leírt eljárás/módszer annak típusossága miatt máskor, máshol és más személlyel kapcsolatban is alkalmazható.

Mádl Ferenc kondoleáló levele Benedek Ferenc özvegyének (forrásközlés)
Authors: Domaniczky Endre
Published: October 2022

2022-ben 15 éve, hogy meghalt Benedek Ferenc, a római jog nemzetközi hírű professzora, aki jogászok generációit – köztük Magyarország két köztársasági elnökét: Mádl Ferencet és Sólyom Lászlót is – tanította a Pécsi Tudományegyetemen. Mádlnak nemcsak a tanára, hanem bizalmas barátja is lett, és maradt is egészen 2007-ben bekövetkezett haláláig. Bár Benedek bő fél évtizeddel idősebb volt tanítványánál, neveltetésükben és világnézetükben számos hasonlóság fedezhető fel, amely ezt a baráti kapcsolatot megalapozta. Beszédtémáik mellett részben baráti körük is közös volt, és ez a láthatatlan szellemi kör a résztvevők haláláig kitartott. Jelen írásban Benedek és Mádl kapcsolatán keresztül tekintjük át a professzor és híres tanítványa pályafutását, számos levéltárban, illetve a Mádl család tulajdonában található irat segítségével.
Overall Labor Effectiveness as a Tool for Measuring Performance in a Given Company
Authors: Brabec Zdeněk , Jáčová Helena
Published: October 2022

To remain competitive, a company needs to increase the productivity of its production equipment, which can be monitored using the Overall Equipment Effectiveness indicator. The article aims to describe the modification of the Overall Equipment Effectiveness indicator into the indicator of Overall Labor Effectiveness in a given company. The advantage of this indicator is that it monitors not only the use of the employee's labor pool but also the actual costs spent on the product. In addition to that, the impact of the introduction of this indicator on the economic performance of a given company is analyzed. To do so, four periods before and four periods after the introduction of the Overall Labor Effectiveness indicator were analyzed using four selected financial ratios. The value of the Overall Labor Effectiveness indicator is currently in the range of excellent values, i.e. the firm uses production time very efficiently. The results of the analyzed financial ratios show that the introduction of the Overall Labor Effectiveness indicator increased the performance of the given company.
Fuzzy Payback Period of Investment into Modernization of Production Network
Authors: Hašková Simona , Kučera Jiří , Kuchár Róbert
Published: October 2022

The difference between the result of managerial calculations and reality can be largely attributed to uncertainty. In the case of discounted payback period (DPP), it concerns uncertain capital expenditures, positive cash flows, and discount rates. To resolve this problem the intervals of possible values instead of uncertain point values should be regarded. This idea is projected in defining the significant points of the input parameters for the DPP calculation from which the significant points of the fuzzy payback period (FPP) in the sense of triangular fuzzy numbers (TFN) are derived. For the TFN ranking, the weighted method is used. The FPP numerical formula thus becomes flexible in terms of the possibility of expressing faith in the incidence rate of the input data. The existing literature omits to regard negative weights for positive and/or negative cash flows in the FPP calculation. In the application, the relations are applied to the quantification of the FPP interval of possible values, by means of which the investment plan for the modernization of the lignite power plant is evaluated.
New Approaches to the Application of Business Intelligence in the Strategic Management Process
Authors: Kašparová Petra
Published: October 2022

This article aims to find the optimal links and ways to use the outputs of business intelligence in strategic company management effectively. A total of 41 tools supporting individual phases of the strategic decision-making process were selected within the literature search. They were divided into six successive stages: mission and vision determination, environment analysis, setting long-term goals, strategy formulation, implementation, and, finally, monitoring. The particular techniques were subsequently assigned to the utilization rate of business intelligence within their application. The resulting model connects the outcomes obtained from the evaluation with the scheme of the strategic planning process inspired by literary review. The most appropriate application of business intelligence takes place in the phases dealing with analyzing the company situation, such as environmental analysis and strategy monitoring. According to the obtained results, the involvement of business intelligence outputs should not be overlooked even in the stages devoted to setting long-term goals and formulating strategy.
Impacts of Preference-Driven Peer-to-Peer Electricity Trading on Distribution Grid Level
Authors: Maiwald Jens
Published: October 2022

Until now, the ongoing German Energy Transition primarily takes place on the system’s supply-side, while the demand-side remains rather unaffected. This article discusses how consumer behavior can be influenced by flexible electricity prices to align demand with generation. Therefore, a combination of two different approaches is used, (I) The Cellular Approach and (II) Agent-Based Modelling. In a simulated regional energy market area covering a whole distribution grid, all types of consumers are allowed to trade electricity peer to-peer regarding each consumer's preferences. The results show that energy purchases can be stimulated individually by flexible pricing and met preferences. Moreover, benefits occur for the whole region and potentials arise to smooth the exchange balance to the superordinate grid level.
Prevalence of antibodies targeting ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme 2L3 and eukaryote translation elongation factor 1 α1 in Chinese Han and American Caucasian populations with type 1 diabetes

Published: October 2022

We assessed the prevalence of two novel islet autoantibodies, those targeting ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme 2L3 (UBE2L3) and eukaryote translation elongation factor 1 α1 (eEF1A1), in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) to evaluate their utility in T1DM diagnosis with comparison to other islet autoantibodies. We also aimed to determine whether age and ethnicity impacted their diagnostic value. Electrochemiluminescence assay was used to detect UBE2L3-Ab and eEF1A1-Ab in 193 Chinese Han and 570 American Caucasian subjects with T1DM, and 282 Chinese Han and 199 American Caucasian controls. In Chinese and American cohorts, the UBE2L3-Ab cut-off indices were 0.039 and 0.038, and the eEF1A1-Ab cut-off indices were 0.048 and 0.050, respectively. The prevalence of UBE2L3-Ab was significantly higher in the Chinese (9.33%) and American (3.86%) subjects with T1DM than in the controls (P < 0.05). The prevalence of UBE2L3-Ab in T1DM was significantly higher in Chinese than in American (P < 0.05). Albeit not statistically significant, the prevalence of UBE2L3-Ab in T1DM was slightly higher in children than in adults of both ethnicities. The differences in eEF1A1-Ab levels between subjects with T1DM and controls were not significant. Meanwhile, all American subjects with UBE2L3-Ab also harbored glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibody (GADA) or insulin autoantibody (IAA). In contrast, 2.07% of the Chinese subjects with UBE2L3-Ab positive were previously classiﬁed as autoantibody-negative based on GADA and IAA. So the prevalence of UBE2L3-Ab in T1DM patients was significantly higher than in controls and was variable according to ethnicity as well as tended to be higher in children than adults. However, UBE2L3-Ab and eEF1A1-Ab may not be reliable diagnostic biomarkers forT1DM.

Nondestructive prediction of fire performance in fire retardant-treated wood using x-ray computed tomography
Authors: Hasegawa Masumi , Okamura Hiroyuki , Hano Yasushi
Published: October 2022

The fire performance of fire retardant-treated wood can be evaluated based on how much of the chemical retardant is used. Therefore, methods for identifying chemical content in wood are needed. Stereo images of wood samples before and after the fire retardant treatment were captured using micro-focus X-ray computed tomography. Image brightness values, indicating concentration, were calculated using binarized images sliced from the X-ray images. Changes in integrated brightness values before and after treatment showed a strong positive correlation with chemical content at a 1% significance level. The chemical content of the retardant-treated wood was predicted based on the relationship between the two. The predicted values were in agreement with the values measured using the leaching method. Fire performance tests of the fire retardant-treated wood were conducted using a cone calorimeter. The treated wood was classified as fire-retardant and non-combustible wood. In addition, the fire performance predicted by the relationship between changes in integrated brightness values and chemical content agreed with the classification by the fire performance test. These findings suggest that X-ray computed tomography can be potentially used to predict the chemical content of fire retardant-treated wood.
Design and manufacture of laminated veneer lumber packaging boxes and pallets and evaluation of their mechanical properties
Authors: Zhang Rongzhuo , He Yuhang , Dauletbek Assima , Shen Zhaoyu , Zhou Yuhao , Wang Zheng
Published: October 2022

Wooden packaging boxes and pallets are used in a wide range of applications. In this work, LVL from the same source and batch were used as the base material. After dynamic detection and grading, they were divided into two grades (A and B), according to their differences in elastic modulus. The packaging boxes and pallets of the same specifications were designed and manufactured as the research objects. Four mechanical properties studies and related analyses were performed. The three mechanical tests showed different deflection values of the two packaging boxes A and B, and the maximum error was 6.93%. In the rotational edge drop test, the edges of the nether end rails of the two grades of LVL boxes were damaged to varying degrees. Additionally, the nails at the connection between the middle longitudinal beam and the bottom plate also appeared to be pulled out, and the parts made of B-grade LVL were more obvious. The results show that the dynamic detection and quality grading for LVL can effectively distinguish the material grade. The grading results were consistent with the mechanical properties of the LVL packaging boxes and pallets of corresponding grades, which are suitable for use in production lines.
A WARNING FROM THE RUSSIAN–UKRAINIAN WAR: AVOIDING A FUTURE THAT RHYMES WITH THE PAST
Authors:   Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy, Sergio Mariotti
Published: October 2022

The Russian–Ukrainian war is a dramatic effect of the growing imbalances and instability of the global economic and political order, together with other effects that this contribution analyzes. This paper in fact offers empirical evidence of a rampant “global protectionism”, the slowdown of the world’s economy in the long term, and the changing structure of global value chains. The paper also seeks to link these manifestations together in a historical perspective, considering the results of previous studies that adopted the comparative historical approach. Although there are profound differences between today’s globalized economy and its historical equivalents, learning from the past should not be precluded, as it can help avoid dangerous paths from being followed that could lead to universally undesired outcomes in the future. The aim of the paper is to open a discussion on the criteria that are needed to inform and develop an economic and industrial policy that is aware of the seriousness of future risks and capable of facing such risks with the necessary wisdom, through the concerted support of the major countries, and through international inter-state collaboration.

The article outlines the long-term trends in the development of the world economy against the background of the sharp deterioration in the conditions of global growth, primarily due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, persisting inflation and tightening financial conditions. A special place is given to the main task of the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine’s economy, which is the transition from the pre-war commodity-agrarian, and import-dependent economy and ensuring economic recovery based on modern achievements in science, technology and the new technological order. Completing the task includes the restoration of infrastructure, restructuring the economic sectors and activities that should become drivers for the recovery of Ukraine's economy in the near future (defense-industrial complex, agricultural sector, construction, ICT sector, and mechanical engineering), preservation of human capital, etc. The authors note that in 2022, a significant drop in output in all economic activities is expected, which will persist until the end of hostilities. Construction, whose activities will be limited to the restoration of destroyed critical infrastructure, and industry, which accounted for the lion's share of Ukraine's pre-war industrial production (mining, metallurgy, energy), will experience the biggest decline. The starting conditions of the forecast estimates of Ukraine's post-war recovery are identified, such as investment attraction, a high rate of accumulation of fixed capital to provide a shorter period of economic recovery, and achieving a moderate inflation. Calculations show that attaining the rate of gross accumulation of fixed capital up to 30-35% of GDP would contribute to a rapid recovery of Ukraine's economy after the war. It is shown that the main factors of the decrease in merchandise exports during the war are the drop in output and the erosion of this country’s transport and logistics potential. An assessment is made of the value and physical volumes, as well as the commodity and geographical structure of merchandise exports from Ukraine in 2022. The authors also provide an assessment of the impact of the reduced physical volume of merchandise exports on output, value added and labor wages in Ukraine. The risks of ensuring the post-war recovery of Ukraine's economy are identified, the main of which are the continuation of the military aggression by the Russian Federation after 2023 and the escalation of hostilities on the territory of Ukraine with a strengthening impact of destructive shocks from the global recession on this country’s domestic economic processes.
EVALUATION OF THE ECONOMIC POTENTIAL OF TRADE INDUSTRY COMPANIES OF UKRAINE
Authors:   State University of Trade and Economics, Anna Loi
Published: October 2022

The economic potential of Ukraine’s trade industry for the period 2014-2020 is estimated based on the analysis of structural changes in the industry and economic potential of trade companies. Pre-war performance indicators show that the trade industry of Ukraine was one of the drivers of the economy. At the same time, the period of the beginning of the COVID restrictions led to the growth of not only e-commerce, but also trade in general. But Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022, caused a great damage to both the Ukrainian economy in general and the trade industry in particular. The study reveals the consolidation of regional business trading companies and further specialization of small businesses. The drivers of the trade industry development are the growth of information and technical and technological potential of its companies. Accordingly, among the priority areas for capital investment in the industry are software, and obtaining patents, licenses and trademarks, both own and those obtained by partner companies. Assessment of the financial potential of companies in the trade sector reveals a tendency to move from long-term to short-term financing, which indicates increased business risks. The sources of the risks include the rising energy prices and instability of the foreign economic situation with constant changes in the regulation of the industry. Estimates of the economic potential of Ukraine’s trade industry are supplemented by an analysis of warehousing, which is a related industry for trade. As cases of destruction of warehouses during the current hostilities have shown, the development of warehousing is critical for the realization of the economic potential of trade. It was found that the warehousing industry shows uneven development by region. Based on the analysis, the author formulates a series of recommendations on the directions of economic policy for the post-war recovery of trade and warehousing.

Novel simple algorithm for frequency planning and optimization in cellular networks
Authors: Alyouzbaki Yasameen A. Ghani
Published: October 2022

One of the most expensive components of constructing a cellular network is frequency planning. The cost of building and maintaining a network will be reduced if a set of base stations can be established with minimal service and preparation. Planning and optimization are carried out to guarantee that the scarce frequency is used to its maximum capability. The goal of this paper is to provide an autonomous method for planning and optimizing frequency in cellular networks. The method substitutes the inefficient, inaccurate, and time-consuming manual method. The automatic technique makes work easier for radio frequency (RF) engineers and lowers operating costs. Also, this article provides an autonomous planning and optimization technique that reduces intra-system interference levels to acceptable levels within the key performance indicators (KPIs) set for any suitable cellular network.

Published: October 2022

Hazánkban viszonylag nagy számban tanulnak kínai hallgatók, akiknek a nehézségeikről, beilleszkedésükről és jövőbeli terveikről viszonylag keveset tudunk. Narratív interjúra építő kutatásunk a kínai hallgatók tapasztatait tárta fel, és arra is választ keresett, hogy milyen jövőbeli elképzeléseik vannak továbbtanulás vagy karrier tekintetében. A kutatás eredményei szerint a kínai hallgatók számtalan nehézsége közül a nyelvi akadályok és a tanulási stílusbeli különbségek kiemelkedő problémát jelentenek. A jövőjüket leginkább a bizonytalanság jellemzi, a magyar felsőoktatási tapasztalatok annyira eltérnek a kínaitól, hogy az itt szerzett tudás hasznosulása kétséges.

We evaluated the biotic and abiotic conditions related to the presence of Phloeosinus tacubayae Hopkins, 1905, to update its distribution and explore new areas to collect the species from potential distribution models and establish its host range. Our results support that P. tacubayae is an oligophagous species distributed mostly in five provinces from the Mexican Transition Zone; its distribution pattern belongs to the Nearctic cenocron and is related to the distribution pattern of its principal host. The modeling and distribution of its hosts suggest invadable zones where new records may exist.
Alle radici della mentalità tecnologica: L'uomo tolemaico di Sergio Cotta
Authors: Gentile Francesco
Published: October 2022

Veinticinco años después de su publicación, se analiza en profundidad el texto de Sergio Cotta, L'uomo tolemaico, hasta llegar a la conclusión de que resulta plenamente actual. Y en efecto, el subjetivismo, la hipertrofia del yo -raíces últimas de la sociedad tecnológica, en el diagnóstico/denuncia de Cotta-, parecen haberse difundido y radicalizado en nuestros días. Tal estado de cosas exige una radical y auténtica metanoia: no es la ciencia la que redime al hombre, sino solo el amor; un amor incondicionado y no sometido a la muerte.

The article presents the results of a study of irrigated gray-brown soils of the Ganja-Kazakh massif, the reasons for changes in individual soil properties associated with the characteristics of specific soil-hydrogeological conditions. It was pointed out that irrigation of gray-brown soils with low mineralized slightly alkaline waters leads to a change in the qualitative composition of salts, an increase in the content of absorbed sodium and its activity. There is also a tendency towards dehumidification of irrigated soils and deterioration of their agrophysical properties. To eliminate the negative effects of irrigation, it is necessary to systematically, comprehensively regulate soil processes and regimes. Thus, during irrigation for 50–60 years, the main properties of gray-brown soils that determine its fertility deteriorated. However, a negative effect of irrigation water with a mineralization of 1.25–2.50 on the salt regime of the soil was noted. Optimization of the reclamation state of soils, prevention of salinization and increase of fertility is promoted by modern agrotechnical measures in combination with an optimal irrigation regime (68–78% HB), as well as with improving the quality of irrigation water by reducing its discharge from irrigated fields and the use of chemical meliorants. Since irrigation of gray-brown soils with mineralized waters was carried out on small areas until recently and, as a rule, was not accompanied by a general increase in the groundwater level, secondary salinization of soils is noted locally in the lowered relief elements. In the main irrigation area for most systems, the period of active salt accumulation observed in the first 3–5 years after the start of irrigation stabilizes at the level of 0.12–0.25% in arable horizons and 0.26–0.32% in sub-arable horizons, and they do not leave the gradation of unsalted. Based on the conducted research, generalization and analysis of the literature data, a systematics of changes on gray-brown soils occurring during irrigation was carried out.

Knowledge in the wonderland of the market of ideas: deconstructing the Economics of Science of Michael Polanyi
Authors: LIMA GILBERTO TADEU
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACT This essay develops a deconstructive interpretation of some aspects of the economics of science formulated by Michael Polanyi. In particular, the essay analyzes the extent to which Polanyi’s libertarian positions can be seen as consistent from a logical-deconstructive point of view. Although the essay highlights the existence of inconsistencies in Polanyi’s discourse, his contribution to the debate about the specificities inherent to the knowledge process is equally emphasized. In other words, even though Polanyi has exaggerated his Panglossian belief in the efficiency of the spontaneous coordination of scientific activities promoted by the market, it is necessary to recognize that his positions regarding the characteristics of knowledge must be seen as an important antidote against naive proposals for centralization of scientific activities under a single authority.
Fanzines e protagonismo LGBTI+ na formação da política penitenciária do Ceará
Authors: Nascimento Francisco Elionardo de Melo
Published: October 2022

Resumo: Neste artigo, analisamos de que forma a organização das pessoas LGBTI+ resultou em políticas destinadas a essa população no interior dos presídios cearenses. A partir do trabalho de campo etnográfico e da análise dos fanzines produzidos no interior das prisões, abordamos a presença de “facções” disputando com o Estado a (co)gestão das prisões e as relações de poder e hierarquia entre presos mobilizados pelas noções correntes de virilidade, heterossexualidade e violência. Neste cenário de tensão, a produção de fanzines tornou-se uma importante materialidade histórica e política, marcando a emergência de um organismo de coalizão entre os LGBTI+ e configurando-se em um instrumento por meio do qual se reivindica um lugar de sujeito de direitos.

Resumo As falhas na qualidade higiênico-sanitária da carne podem ser identificadas a partir da avaliação de microrganismos patogênicos que comprometem a qualidade microbiológica do alimento e podem veicular doenças de origem alimentar. O presente estudo objetivou avaliar a qualidade higiênica-sanitária de carnes bovinas comercializadas em supermercados, açougues e mercados públicos da cidade de Campo Grande (Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil) por meio da pesquisa e caracterização fenotípica e genotípica de Salmonella spp. e Escherichia coli produtora de toxina Shiga (STEC) e pesquisa e contagem de Staphylococcus aureus. Foram avaliadas 71 amostras de carne bovina de 17 estabelecimentos comerciais que foram submetidas a pesquisa de detecção de Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli produtora de toxina Shiga (STEC) e pesquisa e contagem de Staphylococcus aureus. Os isolados obtidos foram submetidos ao perfil de sensibilidade aos antimicrobianos pelo teste de difusão em disco, de acordo com o Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). Constatou-se a presença de Salmonella em 7,04% das amostras avaliadas, sendo que 70,0% dos isolados foram sensíveis aos antimicrobianos testados. Em relação ao Staphylococcus aureus, 25,35% das amostras foram positivas com contagens variando entre 1,0 x 102 a 4,3 x 104 UFC/g, sendo que os isolados apresentaram resistência para penicilina (62,5%), tetraciclina (18,75%) e cloranfenicol (6,25%). Nenhuma amostra apresentou-se positiva para STEC. A detecção desses patógenos em alimentos representa um perigo a saúde pública, principalmente, devido a presença de isolados resistentes a antimicrobianos. Além disso, ressalta-se a necessidade do emprego das boas práticas de higiene e fabricação nos estabelecimentos varejistas.

Abstract The goal of the present study was to verify the quality of refrigerated raw milk from dairy properties and also of refrigerated raw milk, pasteurized and Ultra High Temperature (UHT) milk from industries in Vale do Taquari in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Physicochemical, microbiological and milk composition analysis were carried out, as established by legislation, in addition to total and thermotolerant coliforms and psychrotrophic counts in the three types of milk and mesophiles count in pasteurized milk and UHT milk from the industries. The collections took place in two industries and 33 dairy properties. Regarding the properties, two (6%) had milk with acidity above that established by legislation and three (9%) had milk with a total bacterial count (TBC) above the established. The milk from industry 1 presented acidity, TBC and density out of the established standards. The two industries and 53.2% of the properties had milk with somatic cell counts (SCC) above that determined by legislation. The milk from the industries showed higher amounts of SCC, TBC, psychrotrophic and total and thermotolerant coliforms than the milk from the dairy properties, and the milk from industry 1 showed higher amounts than the industry 2, in the microbiological parameters.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to gather scientific evidence on the linguistic skill profile in developmental dyslexia and developmental language disorder to better understand possible comorbid or isolated conditions. Methods: an integrative review of the literature. The search was conducted in SciELO, ERIC, LILACS, and PubMed. The inclusion criteria were as follows: 1) studies published and available in open-access national and international journals in full text; 2) addressing the topic in the last 10 years; 3) in English and/or Portuguese. Literature Review: the search retrieved 654 articles, the final sample comprising 10, 5 of which agreed with the hypothesis that dyslexia and developmental language disorder can be comorbid disorders, impairing reading, writing, and phonological awareness. The other studies described broader language deficits in children with developmental language disorder alone, affecting language decoding and comprehension, whereas deficits in dyslexia are more associated with phonological processing. Conclusion: there is no consensus on whether dyslexia and developmental language disorders occur simultaneously in children. However, both pose risks to reading comprehension and school performance.

ABSTRACT The present research aims to study the effects of interdisciplinary interventions of Speech Therapy and Psychoanalysis in children with language delay. This is a comparative case study between two groups with quantitative and qualitative analysis, with four children, through the application of the Protocol of Behavioral Observation Protocol pre and post intervention, interviews with parents, records of children's filming during playing and interdisciplinary dialogues among the professionals. The pre-intervention evaluations showed that underage children obtained similarity in aspects that related to communicative skills and functions, cognitive development and toy level. Both groups presented difficulties regarding the alternation of turns. The assessments of older children, in the pre-intervention phase, also indicated similarities in the results. One subject presented a greater difficulty when waiting for his turn in dialogic activity. The results post-interdisciplinary intervention showed a superior improvement compared to the two cases followed only by the speech therapist. The interdisciplinary dialogue made it possible to effectively evolve in the cases of group 2. A psychoanalytic look over the cases that received only speech therapy intervention would allow intervention along with parents, children and school.
