Published: September 2019

Durch die zunehmende Digitalisierung der Kommunikation erlebt eine scheinbar neue Form der Kundenansprache einen Aufschwung: Content Marketing. Content Marketing bezeichnet die Erstellung und Verbreitung von redaktionellen Inhalten zu kommerziellen Zwecken durch Nicht-Medienunternehmen. Obwohl die ersten erfolgreichen Beispiele für Content Marketing mehr als 100 Jahre zurückliegen, hat das Internet ihm neue Bedeutung verliehen. Der direkte Kontakt zum Kunden eröffnet Unternehmen neue Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten, stellt aber hohe Anforderungen an die bereitgestellten Inhalte. Zugleich ist die Erfolgsmessung entsprechender Maßnahmen problematisch. Content Marketing wirkt sich zudem entscheidend auf die Wertschöpfungsstrukturen entlang des Kaufentscheidungsprozesses der Kunden sowie das Verhältnis zwischen Werbetreibenden und Medienunternehmen aus.

Seit einiger Zeit wird in der Medienwirtschaft unter unterschiedlichen Aspekten das Phänomen „Adblocker“ diskutiert (Brechtel 2016; Pimpl 2016b; Reidel et al. 2016). Adblocker (deutsch: Werbefilter) stellen für den Nutzer Software-basierte Hilfsmittel dar, die sicherstellen, dass nur erwünschte Inhalte im Internet angezeigt werden. Teilweise kann im Adblocker selbst festgelegt werden, welche Inhalte nicht erwünscht sind (meist Werbung). Vor allem die Medienanbieter, für die Online-Werbung eine wichtige Erlösquelle darstellt, stehen Adblockern kritisch gegenüber. Sie reduzieren die Erreichbarkeit von Rezipienten für Werbung und greifen massiv in das Geschäftsmodell von Content-Anbietern ein, deren Monetarisierungsstrategie von Werbeerlösen auf den Anbieterseiten abhängt. Adblocker können in der digitalen Medienwirtschaft als Rendite abschöpfende „Gatekeeper“ angesehen werden, die in die Wertschöpfungskette von Medienunternehmen eingreifen.
Starke Bremsklötze: Der öffentlich-rechtliche Rundfunk in Deutschland im internationalen Benchmark-Vergleich
Authors: Sehl Annika
Published: September 2019

ARD und ZDF haben hohe Reichweiten für ihre Fernsehnachrichten. Online sieht es jedoch ganz anders aus. Das zeigen Befragungsdaten des Reuters Institute Digital News Reports 2016. Während die ARD pro Woche 54 Prozent der Befragten mit Fernsehnachrichten erreicht und das ZDF 46 Prozent, sind es nur jeweils 16 Prozent bei Online-Nachrichten. In dieser Situation ist der öffentlich-rechtliche Rundfunk in Deutschland nicht alleine. In den in diesem Artikel näher betrachteten sechs europäischen Ländern und ihren öffentlich-rechtlichen Medienorganisationen (Deutschland, Finnland, Frankreich, Italien, Polen, Vereinigtes Königreich) gelingt es nur Yle in Finnland und der BBC im Vereinigten Königreich, auch eine hohe Reichweite für Online-Nachrichten aufzubauen.
Zum Stand der Debatteum die Zukunft des Fernsehens: Theorie und Empirie
Authors: Beck Hanno
Published: September 2019

Bedeuten die Digitalisierung der TV-Branche und das Aufkommen des Internets das Ende des Fernsehens, wie wir es kennen? Werden das starre Programmschema und die großen TV-Sender abgelöst durch nicht-lineares Fernsehen, in dem sich jeder Nutzer sein Programm nach eigenem Geschmack zusammenstellt und zeitsouverän konsumiert? Eine Auswertung der theoretischen Argumente und der empirischen Literatur lässt keinen eindeutigen Schluss zu, ob es auch in einigen Jahren noch Fernsehen mit starrem Programmschema geben wird. Denkbar ist, dass lineares Fernsehen seine Stärken ausspielt und in einer komfortablen Nische überlebt, möglich ist allerdings auch, dass das Internet sich in allen Bereichen zunehmend als überlegen erweist und das alte Fernsehen, wie wir es kennen, ablöst. Möglicherweise aber kommt es zu einer hybriden Lösung, in der Sender sowohl lineare als auch nicht-lineare Elemente anbieten werden.

Published: September 2019

—The paper presents results of a comprehensive study of ferromanganese crusts from a submarine volcano on the Sonne Ridge, which was discovered during the 178th cruise of the RV Sonne (2004) investigating the northern slope of the Kuril basin in the framework of the KOMEX program. Results of study of the structures, textures, and mineral and elemental compositions of the crusts suggest their hydrogenous origin. The contents of major, trace, and rare-earth elements and Y (REY) in four mineral phases of ferromanganese crusts of the Sea of Okhotsk have been determined by phase analysis for the first time. The REY patterns of the manganese and ferrous in-situ phases confirms the hydrogenous genesis and indicates no hydrothermal influence.
The Aksug Porphyry Cu–Mo Deposit (Northeastern Tuva): Chronology of Magmatism and Ore Formation Processes (U–Pb and Re–Os Isotope Data) and Metallogenic Implications
Authors: Berzina A.N. , Berzina A.P. , Gimon V.O.
Published: September 2019

—The Aksug porphyry Cu–Mo deposit is located in a region of long-lasting magmatic activity. Gabbroids of the Khoito-Oka complex are the earliest intrusive rocks, in which the Aksug granitoid pluton hosting ore-bearing small porphyry intrusions is localized. The intrusive activity was terminated with emplacement of late leucogranite dikes. There are different viewpoints on the age of magmatism and mineralization of the Aksug deposit, with the concept of their Devonian age prevailing. To solve the debatable issue, we performed isotope geochronological studies and analyzed new results of U–Pb (SHRIMP-II) zircon dating and previously published Re–Os molybdenite dates (518 ± 2, 516 ± 2, and 511 ± 2 Ma). The concordant U–Pb zircon ages for igneous rocks are younger than the Re–Os age for mineralization. New U–Pb dating of Khoito-Oka gabbro-diorites has yielded an age of 503 ± 2 Ma. The U–Pb SHRIMP zircon age of tonalites from the Aksug pluton has been estimated at 504 ± 5 Ma. The U–Pb zircon ages for ore-related tonalite porphyry I and tonalite porphyry II are 500 ± 6 and 499 ± 6 Ma, respectively. The obtained SHRIMP age for leucogranite dike is 509 ± 4 Ma. Two groups of U–Pb dates have been obtained for each of the analyzed zircon samples: close to the Re–Os dates (518–511 ± 2 Ma) and younger (507–486 Ma). The weighted average zircon ages calculated for early and late populations from post-ore leucogranites are 515 ± 4 and 500 ± 4 Ma, respectively. We suggest that zircons with an age close to the Re–Os dates found in post-ore leucogranites were assimilated from the underlying substrate and zircons with an age of 500 ± 4 Ma crystallized from melt. The oldest U–Pb dates (509–515 Ma) of individual zircon grains from ore-bearing tonalite porphyry are consistent with the Re–Os molybdenite ages. Zircons from tonalite, tonalite porphyry, and Khoito-Oka gabbroids sometimes show internal textures indicating secondary alteration. The younger U–Pb concordia zircon ages relative to the Re–Os dates might be due to the influence of late thermal processes on the U–Pb isotopic system. The younger dates (486–507 Ma) of individual zircon grains probably reflect the time of the impact of a thermal fluid process. The weighted average of these younger dates (502 ± 2 Ma) falls within the weighted average age of post-ore leucogranites (500 ± 4 Ma). According to the Re–Os dates, the Aksug deposit formed at the end of the early Cambrian. Ore occurrences similar in magmatism and mineralization to the Aksug ore deposit are widespread in Tuva and in the Lake Zone in Mongolia. Therefore, it is necessary to reassess the role of the Cambrian and Devonian magmatism in the development of porphyry Cu–Mo mineralization both in Tuva and in the Altai–Sayan orogenic area.

Published: September 2019

Treatment by All-Trans Retinoic Acid (ATRA) combined with an Anthracycline Chemotherapy has been shown to improve disease-free survival in patients with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL). Although ATRA is generally well tolerated, occurrence of Retinoic Acid Syndrome (RAS) during the induction chemotherapy in some patients is recognized as a distinct complication and a potential life-threatening side effect.
Isolated myocarditis as a result of RAS related to ATRA administration is uncommon and has been rarely reported in the literature.
We report a very rare case of ATRA-induced perimyocarditis accompanied by hemodynamic compromise. There was complete resolution of the signs and symptoms of peri-myocarditis when ATRA was temporary suspended. Finally, ATRA was safely resumed.

Authors: Curcean Andra Diana , Rusu Georgeta Mihaela , Dudea Sorin Marian
Published: September 2019

Background and aim. Information in ultrasonography about reference values of nerves, particularly of those located in the neck is limited. The aim of the study is to demonstrate the feasibility of direct visualization of the vagus, hypoglossal and greater auricular nerves, testing the method on healthy volunteers and estimate the reference values for two perpendicular diameters and cross-sectional area (CSA).

Methods. A prospective study was carried out on 21 healthy volunteers (12 women and 9 men), recording their demographic characteristics. A 13 MHz transducer was used on a Hitachi EUB-8500 machine. The vagus nerve was measured at the bifurcation of common carotid artery (CCA) and at the intersection of the internal jugular vein with omohyoid muscle. The hypoglossal nerve was identified as it crosses the posterolateral border of the mylohyoid muscle in the submandibular space. The auricular nerve was identified on the superficial surface of the sternocleidomastoid muscle at 1 cm from its posterior margin. The mean CSA on axial scans, nerve width and thickness were determined. The side-to-side and gender differences of the estimated reference values and their correlations with the weight, height, and body mass index (BMI) were evaluated.

Results. The mean ultrasound-estimated CSA was measured for the vagus nerve at CCA bifurcation (2.14 ± 0.79 on the left 2.86 ± 1.27 on the right), vagus nerve at the level of omohyoid muscle (2.10 ± 0.06 on the left and 2.43 ± 0.08 on the right), hypoglossal nerve (1.71 ± 0.08 on the left, 1.24 ± 0.06 on the right) and greater auricular nerve (0.90 ± 0.53 on the left and 0.79 ± 0.71 on the right). The vagus nerve was significantly larger on the right side compared to the left side. Larger hypoglossal nerve was observed in men compared to women. Significant correlations were observed between weight and CSA of the greater auricular nerve.

Conclusion. Direct visualization of the vagus, greater auricular nerve and hypoglossal nerves is feasible. Reference values for the size of the studied nerves at specific anatomic landmarks were established. Side, gender and body weight differences of the nerves CSA were noted.

Published: September 2019

Cone beam computed tomography can be used in pediatric population when a tridimensional analysis of dental and maxillofacial bone structures is required. Even though CBCT is considered a low dose radiological examination, ionizing radiation is a known human carcinogenic factor. Furthermore, biological effects are more important in young patients because of their higher radiosensitivity. Orthodontic treatment is typically initiated at young ages and the most common radiographs at this age are dental. This makes it important to quantify the effects of diagnostic radiographs, in particular of CBCT, due to the fact that the radiation doses are higher compared to conventional radiological methods. So far, the carcinogenic response after low dose radiation exposure is not fully understood in the scientific literature. The aim of our review was to emphasize the main indications of CBCT in orthodontics and to evaluate the radiation doses and potential risks of CBCT irradiation of pediatric patients

Published: September 2019

The Transient High-Energy Sky and Early Universe Surveyor (THESEUS) is a mission concept developed in the last years by a large European consortium and currently under study by the European Space Agency (ESA) as one of the three candidates for next M5 mission (launch in 2032). THESEUS aims at exploiting high-redshift GRBs for getting unique clues to the early Universe and, being an unprecedentedly powerful machine for the detection, accurate location (down to ∼arcsec) and redshift determination of all types of GRBs (long, short, high-z, under-luminous, ultra-long) and many other classes of transient sources and phenomena, at providing a substantial contribution to multi-messenger time-domain astrophysics. Under these respects, THESEUS will show a strong synergy with the large observing facilities of the future, like E-ELT, TMT, SKA, CTA, ATHENA, in the electromagnetic domain, as well as with next-generation gravitational-waves and neutrino detectors, thus greatly enhancing their scientific return.
The Neutrino Mass Experiment KATRIN
Authors: Fraenkle F. M.
Published: September 2019

The KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment is a large-scale experiment with the objective to determine the effective electron antineutrino mass in a model-independent way with an unprecedented sensitivity of 0.2 eV/c2 at 90% C.L. The measurement method is based on the precision B-decay spectroscopy of molecular tritium. The experimental setup consists of a high-luminosity windowless gaseous tritium source, a magnetic electron transport system with differential cryogenic pumping for the tritium retention, and an electrostatic spectrometer section for the energy analysis, followed by a segmented detector system for the counting of transmitted B-electrons. The first KATRIN neutrino mass measurement phase started in March 2019. Here, we will give an overview of the KATRIN experiment and its current status.
Exploring Baryon Rich Matter with Heavy-Ion Collisions
Authors: Harabasz S.
Published: September 2019

Collisions of heavy nuclei at (ultra-)relativistic energies provide a fascinating opportunity to re-create various forms of matter in the laboratory. For a short extent of time (10-22 s), matter under extreme conditions of temperature and density can exist. In dedicated experiments, one explores the microscopic structure of strongly interacting matter and its phase diagram. In heavy-ion reactions at SIS18 collision energies, matter is substantially compressed (2–3 times ground-state density), while moderate temperatures are reached (T < 70 MeV). The conditions closely resemble those that prevail, e.g., in neutron star mergers. Matter under such conditions is currently being studied at the High Acceptance DiElecton Spectrometer (HADES). Important topics of the research program are the mechanisms of strangeness production, the emissivity of matter, and the role of baryonic resonances herein. In this contribution, we will focus on the important experimental results obtained by HADES in Au+Au collisions at 2.4 GeV center-of-mass energy. We will also present perspectives for future experiments with HADES and CBM at SIS100, where higher beam energies and intensities will allow for the studies of the first-order deconfinement phase transition and its critical endpoint.
Central Exclusive Production at LHCb
Authors: Van Hulse C.
Published: September 2019

The LHCb collaboration has measured central exclusive production of J/ф, ф(2S), and ϒ mesons as well as J/фJ/ф, J/фф(2S), ф(2S)ф(2S), and xcxc meson pairs in proton-proton collisions. The analyses of ϒ and charmonium pairs are performed at the centre-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV, and those of J/ф and ф(2S) are done at 7 TeV and 13 TeV. The analysis at 13 TeV involves the use of new shower counters. These allow a reduction in the background by vetoing events with activity in an extended region in rapidity. The measurements of central exclusive production at LHCb are sensitive to gluon distributions for Bjorken-x values down to 2×10−6 (at 13 TeV). An overview of the LHCb results is presented and compared to existing measurements of other experiments and theoretical calculations.
Neutral Meson and Direct Photon Measurements with the ALICE Experiment
Authors: Kovalenko O.
Published: September 2019

The ALICE experiment is designed to study the properties of the matter created in proton-proton and heavy-ion collisions at the LHC. Neutral mesons can be reconstructed in ALICE in a wide range of transverse momenta via two-photon decays. Neutral meson measurements in pp collisions give an opportunity to validate the NLO or NNLO pQCD calculations and to constrain the parton distribution functions and the parton fragmentation functions. Neutral meson spectra measured in pA and AA collisions allow us to test a modification of the parton distribution functions in nuclei and the parton energy loss in the hot matter created in AA collisions. The recent results from ALICE on direct photon measurements in the Pb–Pb, neutral pion and n meson productions in pp, p-Pb, and Pb–Pb collisions are presented.
Status of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory
Authors: Schever M.
Published: September 2019

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a next generation multipurpose antineutrino detector currently under construction in Jiangmen, China. The central detector, containing 20 kton of a liquid scintillator, will be equipped with ∼18 000 20 inch and 25 600 3 inch photomultiplier tubes. Measuring the reactor antineutrinos of two powerplants at a baseline of 53 km with an unprecedented energy resolution of 3%/√︀E(MeV), the main physics goal is to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy within six years of run time with a significance of 3–4q. Additional physics goals are the measurement of solar neutrinos, geoneutrinos, supernova burst neutrinos, the diffuse supernova neutrino background, and the oscillation parameters sin2 O12, Δm212, and |Δm2ee| with a precision <1%, as well as the search for proton decays. The construction is expected to be completed in 2021.
Effects of Superstatistics on the Location of the Effective QCD Critical End Point
Authors: Ayala A. , Hentschinski M. , Hernández L. A. , Loewe M. , Zamora R.
Published: September 2019

Effects of the partial thermalization during the chiral symmetry restoration at the finite temperature and quark chemical potential are considered for the position of the critical end point in an effective description of the QCD phase diagram. We find that these effects cause the critical end point to be displaced toward larger values of the temperature and lower values of the quark chemical potential, as compared to the case where the system can be regarded as completely thermalized. These effects may be important for relativistic heavy ion collisions, where the number of subsystems making up the whole interaction volume can be linked to the finite number of participants in the reaction.

The Electroweak Phase Transition in a Spontaneously Magnetized Plasma
Authors: Minaiev P. , Skalozub V.
Published: September 2019

We investigate the electroweak phase transition (EWPT) in the Minimal (One Higgs doublet) Standard Model (SM) with account for the spontaneous generation of magnetic and chromo-magnetic fields. As it is known, in the SM for the mass of a Higgs boson greater than 75 GeV, this phase transition is of the second order. But, according to Sakharov’s conditions for the formation of the baryon asymmetry in the early Universe, it has to be strongly of the first order. In the Two Higgs doublets SM, there is a parametric space, where the first-order phase transition is realized for the realistic Higgs boson mass mH = 125 GeV. On the other hand, in the hot Universe, the spontaneous magnetization of a plasma had happened. The spontaneously generated (chromo) magnetic fields are temperature-dependent. They influence the EWРT. The color chromomagnetic fields B3 and B8 are created spontaneously in the gluon sector of QCD at a temperature T > Td higher the deconfinement temperature Td. The usual magnetic field H has also to be spontaneously generated. For T close to the TEWPT , these magnetic fields could change the kind of the phase transition.

Published: September 2019

We propose a model describing the scattering of hadrons as bound states of their constituent quarks. We build the dynamic equations for the multiparticle fields on the subset of simultaneity, using the Lagrange method, similarly to the case of “usual” single-particle fields. We then consider the gauge fields restoring the local internal symmetry on the subset of simultaneity. Since the multiparticle fields, which describe mesons as bound states of a quark and an antiquark, are two-index tensors relative to the local gauge group, it is possible to consider a model with two different gauge fields, each one associated with its own index. Such fields would be transformed by the same laws during a local gauge transformation and satisfy the same dynamic equations, but with different boundary conditions. The dynamic equations for the multiparticle gauge fields describe such phenomena as the confinement and the asymptotic freedom of colored objects under certain boundary conditions and the spontaneous symmetry breaking under another ones. With these dynamic equations, we are able to describe the quark confinement in hadrons within a single model and their interaction during the hadron scattering through the exchange of the bound states of gluons – the glueballs.
Phase Transitions and Bose–Einstein Condensation in Alpha-Nucleon Matter

Published: September 2019

The equation of state and the phase diagram of an isospin-symmetric chemically equilibrated mixture of a particles and nucleons (N) are studied in the mean-field approximation. We use a Skyrme-like parametrization of mean-field potentials as functions of the partial densities of particles. The parameters of these potentials are chosen by fitting the known properties of pure N- and pure a-matters at zero temperature. The sensitivity of results to the choice of the aN attraction strength is investigated. The phase diagram of the a − N mixture is studied with a special attention paid to the liquid-gas phase transitions and the Bose–Einstein condensation of a particles. We have found two first-order phase transitions, stable and metastable, which differ significantly by the fractions of a’s. It is shown that the states with a condensate are metastable.
Structural or dispositional? An experimental investigation of the experience of winning in social casino games (and impulsivity) on subsequent gambling behaviors
Authors: Kim Hyoun S. , Rockloff Matthew , McGrath Daniel S. , Wohl Michael J. A. , Hodgins David C.
Published: September 2019

Background and aims

In the present research, we experimentally investigated whether the experience of winning (i.e., inflated payout rates) in a social casino game influenced social casino gamers’ subsequent decision to gamble for money. Furthermore, we assessed whether facets of dispositional impulsivity – negative and positive urgency in particular – also influenced participants’ subsequent gambling.

Methods

Social casino gamers who were also current gamblers (N = 318) were asked to play a social casino game to assess their perceptions of the game in exchange for $3. Unbeknownst to them, players were randomly assigned to one of three experimental conditions: winning (n = 110), break-even (n = 103), or losing (n = 105). After playing, participants were offered a chance to gamble their $3 renumeration in an online roulette game.

Results

A total of 280 participants (88.1%) elected to gamble, but no between-condition variation in the decision to gamble emerged. Furthermore, there were no differences in gambling on the online roulette between condition. However, higher levels of both negative and positive urgency increased the likelihood of gambling. Finally, impulsivity did not moderate the relationship between experience of winning and decision to gamble.

Conclusion

The results suggest that dispositional factors, including impulsive urgency, are implicated in the choice to gamble for social casino gamers following play.
Normative, passionate, or problematic? Identification of adolescent gamer subtypes over time
Authors: Peeters Margot , Koning Ina , Lemmens Jeroen , Eijnden Regina van den
Published: September 2019

Background and aims

For most youngsters, gaming is a fun and innocent leisure activity. However, some adolescents are prone to develop problematic gaming behavior. It is therefore important to have a comprehensive understanding of psychosocial and game-related characteristics that differentiate highly engaged gamers from problematic gamers. To that end, this study evaluated the stability and consistency of Internet gaming criteria (as suggested by the DSM-5) and psychosocial characteristics in a two-wave longitudinal study including 1928 young adolescents (mean age = 13.3 years, SD = 0.91, 57% boys).

Methods

A confirmatory factor analysis revealed good stability of the Internet gaming disorder (IGD) construct over time. Latent class analyses revealed three classes for boys (recreational, engaged, and problematic) and two classes for girls (recreational and engaged).

Results

Significant differences between classes emerged for problem criteria (conflict and problems in social life), gaming duration, impulsivity, social competence, and attention/hyperactivity. The absence of a problematic gaming class for girls suggests that girls are less likely to develop problematic gaming behavior.

Discussion

The IGD criteria as proposed by the DSM-5 are a helpful tool to identify problematic gamers, although the results of this study suggest that using a strict cut-off point might result in false positives, particularly for boys. Problem criteria appeared to be the most sensitive and specific in identifying the problematic gamer, whereas escapism criteria were the least specific and sensitive. Careful consideration of the current proposed criteria to identify problematic gaming behavior could benefit the research and clinical field.

Published: September 2019

Interaction mode of a naproxen derivative (NH) with ct-DNA was explored by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The experimental results revealed the static quenching as a result of groove binding between the naproxen derivative and ct-DNA. Computational studies were carried out to deeper understanding of the interactions. Molecular docking calculations shown that the interaction between NH and ct-DNA is resulted by groove binding. In addition to spectral data, docking studies revealed that NH-A_DNA and NH-B_DNA complexes had different interaction and conformational trends to each DNA isomer.

Published: September 2019

Waste is a complex societal problem: municipal solid waste should be considered a resource, but the methods for capturing, treating and utilising this resource are varied and often dependent on geopolitical factors. Previous research has, on the one hand, explored the need for a more comprehensive waste composition specification to manage municipal waste better, and on the other, focused on a problematic waste stream and the options available for dealing with it. This work considers the use of multi-criteria decision making to assess the relative merits of different treatment options. A complex and problematic waste stream, wood, has been selected as a case study. For the purpose of the study, the work considers the options available to Surrey County Council in the UK. Currently, for the conditions selected, energy from waste was considered to be the best option available for the treatment of wood with no discernible value for upcycling or reuse, but not contaminated with hazardous chemicals. When considering a different location with different circumstances, a different solution might be found.

CHARACTERISTICS OF RADIONUCLIDES ON THORIUM-CYCLE EXPERIMENTAL POWER REACTOR SPENT FUEL.
Authors: Dwijayanto, S.T. R. Andika Putra , Husnayani Ihda , Zuhair Zuhair
Published: September 2019

CHARACTERISTICS OF RADIONUCLIDES ON THORIUM-CYCLE EXPERIMENTAL POWER REACTOR SPENT FUEL. There are several options of nuclear fuel utilisation in the HTGR-based Experimental Power Reactor (Reaktor Daya Eksperimental/RDE). Although mainly RDE utilises low enriched uranium (LEU)-based fuel, which is the most viable option at the moment, it is possible for RDE to utilise other fuel, for example thorium-based and possibly even plutonium-based fuel. Different fuel yields different spent fuel characteristics, so it is necessary to identify the characteristics to understand and evaluate their handling and interim storage. This paper provides the study on the characteristics of thorium-fuelled RDE spent fuel, assuming typical operational cycle. ORIGEN2.1 code is employed to determine the spent fuel characteristics. The result showed that at the end of the calculation cycle, each thorium-based spent fuel pebble generates around 0,627 Watts of heat, 28 neutrons/s, 8.28x1012 photons/s and yield 192.53 curies of radioactivity. These higher radioactivity and photon emission possibly necessitate different measures in spent fuel management, if RDE were to use thorium-based fuel. Tl-208 activity, which found to be emitting potentially non-negligible strong gamma emission, magnified the requirement of proper spent fuel handling especially radiation shielding in spent fuel cask.Keywords: RDE, spent fuel, thorium, HTGR, Tl-208.

Authors: Silva Nayara Mendes , Monteiro Luzia Cristina Antoniossi
Published: September 2019

O espaço urbano deve se desenvolver em consonância com suas funções socioambientais para se alinhar às novas demandas do envelhecimento populacional brasileiro. Este artigo objetiva analisar a inserção urbana de dois condomínios exclusivos para idosos de baixa renda: o Recanto Feliz e o Vila Dignidade de Araraquara – SP, a fim de discutir sobre os impactos causados devido à existência de imóveis ociosos no seu entorno. Trata de um recorte de duas pesquisas fomentadas pela Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa de São Paulo (FAPESP), com abordagem quanti-qualitativa. Foram identificados 36 imóveis ociosos no entorno dos dois condomínios, a maioria das edificações situam-se nas proximidades do Recanto Feliz, localizado próximo ao centro antigo da cidade, área permeada por boa infraestrutura, mas pouco aproveitada. Tal espaço poderia ser requalificado para minimizar a demanda habitacional do município, e/ou oferecer serviços e equipamentos, viabilizando oportunidades de inclusão social. Uma cidade envelhecida, como Araraquara, deve ser amiga dessa população, propulsionando condições de moradia adequada e minimizando desigualdades socioespaciais.

Authors: Silva Renata Braga Aguilar da , Magagnin Renata Cardoso , Fontes Maria Solange Gurgel de Castro
Published: September 2019

A qualidade espacial das praças está relacionada a diversos fatores, dentre eles, aspectos físicos e morfológicos, que podem contribuir (ou não) para a permanência dos usuários nesse espaço público. A partir do exposto, este artigo apresenta o resultado de uma pesquisa que avaliou a qualidade espacial de uma praça, localizada na área central de uma cidade de médio porte, a partir de elementos físicos e espaciais. O estudo de caso foi realizado na Praça São Bento localizada na área central do município de Marilia (SP). A metodologia foi composta por: i) análise dos aspectos físicos e espaciais da praça e de seu entorno imediato, por meio de indicadores de desempenho avaliados por auditoria técnica; e ii) mapa comportamental do uso da praça a partir da identificação dos fluxos dos usuários, locais de permanência e atividades realizadas no local, por meio de mapas temáticos. Os resultados mostraram que o instrumento utilizado permite identificar quais são os aspectos que podem coibir ou não a permanência e utilização do espaço público. E em relação aos elementos observados, a praça São Bento se caracteriza por um local de alto fluxo e baixa permanência, isso acontece por inúmeros fatores positivos como entorno diversificado e negativos como conforto, segurança e atratividade.

Sustentabilidade e Certificação Ambiental na Construção Civil: Uma Visão Bibliométrica
Authors: Galvão Paulo Henrique Giungi , Georges Marcos Ricardo Rosa
Published: September 2019

A construção Civil tem grande impacto ambiental, tanto no alto consumo de recursos naturais quanto tanto nos recursos energéticos, ainda considerando resíduos e entulhos. Para o controle da qualidade e validação de uma edificação, com ênfase em Sustentabilidade, formam-se iniciativas com o objetivo de avaliar e maximizar a eficiência energética dos edifícios. Com o surgimento do Green Building, um edifício ou qualquer espaço ou ambiente, é construído pensando na Sustentabilidade social, ambiental e econômica, desde a sua concepção, construção e durante a toda a sua operação. Aqui no Brasil, existem várias certificações, mas será aborda somente a certificação AQUA (Alta Qualidade Ambiental) LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) e o Selo Azul da Caixa. Então, o objetivo é entender o panorama sobre os modos com que a certificação ambiental tem sido estudada e trabalhada pela comunidade científica da engenharia civil, a fins de assinalar a contribuição por região e temas que tem sido estudada e trabalhada pela comunidade científica. Este estudo é caracterizado como pesquisa exploratória e de natureza prática, com abordagem quantitativa, pois visa tomar maior conhecimento sobre as certificações da construção civil. No tocante aos procedimentos de coleta de dados, a pesquisa adotou a análise documental do tipo bibliométrica.

Published: September 2019

O espaço público aberto nas cidades é direcionado para a vida social de seus habitantes. No caso de Passo Fundo – Rio Grande do Sul - Brasil, importantes pontos centrais da vida social estão concentradas na Avenida Brasil, via urbana de maior escala que liga as extremidades leste-oeste da cidade, caracterizando este estudo como uma análise de situação. No entanto, tendo-se como base os aspectos para um espaço público de qualidade, esse grande eixo que se destaca na paisagem da cidade demonstra deficiencia em diversos aspectos, onde a falta de planejamento e/ou manutenção da infraestrutura presente acarretou uma série de problemas atuais, como acessibilidade precária, problemas de segurança, escassez e precariedade do mobiliario urbano, pavimentação inadequada para as necessidades do local e incompatibilidade entre infraestrutura e vegetação adequada. Sendo assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar aspectos qualitativos destes locais, como características ambientais, condições de pavimentação, existência de mobiliário urbano, espécies vegetais, iluminação pública e condições de acessibilidade. A partir do estudo evidenciou-se que há necessidade de maior atenção do poder público na qualificação destes espaços, uma vez que estão inseridos em uma área onde existe uma alta demanda por locais de lazer e permanência para os usuários e moradores do entorno.

Decreased risk of Parkinson’s disease in diabetic patients with thiazolidinediones therapy: An exploratory meta-analysis v2
Authors: Zhu Yueli , Pu Jiali , Chen Yanxing , Zhang Baorong
Published: September 2019

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a prevalent and complex neurodegenerative disorder with prominent loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Rest tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability are the four classical motor symptoms. PD is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. The annual incidence is 14/100 000 of the total population in Europe and the Americas, while the rate increased to 160/100 000 in people aged over 65 years. The incidence is similar in Asia. Thiazolidinediones (TZDs), a class of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-γ) agonists, can improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood glucose level for patients with type 2 diabetes. Recently, accumulating experiments indicated that TZDs could exert anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects in a series of PD animal models. Nevertheless, one randomized controlled trial (RCT) indicated that pioglitazone is unlikely to be able to slow the disease progression in early PD patients without diabetes. To date, several retrospective observational cohort studies have assessed the association between the TZDs use and the incidence of PD in diabetic patients, but with controversial results. Thererfore, we performed this meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of TZDs in reducing PD risk among diabetic patients.

Published: September 2019

BACKGROUND: Patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) often exhibit long, diffuse, totally occluded, and heavily calcified infrapopliteal (IP) lesions. Peripheral excimer laser atherectomy (PELA) has been proposed to increase the treatment success for complex IP lesions. This study evaluated the limb salvage after PELA plus low-pressure balloon inflation (LPBI) without stent deployment in CLI patients with severe IP disease. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated for 82 consecutive patients with 125 IP vessels who underwent PELA plus LPBI in a 4-year period. Technical success was defined as IP straight-line flow being achieved below the malleolus. The binary logistic regression was performed to find factors associated with 6-month limb salvage RESULTS: A total of 113 vessels (90.4%) were totally occluded, and none of the patients received a stent. Twenty-one percentage of the patients were octogenarians, and 84% of the patients were Rutherford-Becker class 5 and 6. The technical success rate was 72% and 6-month limb salvage rate was 77%. Binary logistic regression showed age, smoking history and technical success were independent predictors for 6-month limb salvage. CONCLUSIONS: PELA plus LPBI without stent deployment is a reasonable option for treating complex IP lesions in patients with CLI. Technical success plays an important role in 6-month limb salvage
