Background: The leaves and twigs of Lindera sericea (Seibold et Zucc.) Blume var. sericea (Lauraceae) are used as traditional medicines for treating indigestion, stomachache, anxiety, etc. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in these plant materials as a source of healthy drinks and functional foods. The main aim of this study was to characterize the major phenolic compounds from the leaves and twigs and to evaluate their free radical scavenging and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities.Methods: The dried leaves and twigs were extracted with 70% methanol. The dried extract was then subjected to repeated column chromatography to isolate eight flavonoids. The compounds were then evaluated for their 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity.Results: The isolated compounds were identified as (-)-epicatechin (1), taxifolin 3-O-glucoside (2), quercetin (3), quercitrin (4), quercetin 3-O-neohesperidoside (5), pinocembrin (6), pinostrobin (7) and pinostrobin chalcone (8) based on their nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), spectroscopic data and comparison with literature values. All these compounds were isolated for the first time from this plant. All flavonoids except pinocembrin (6), pinostrobin (7) and pinostrobin chalcone (8) showed potent free radical scavenging activity. In α-glucosidase inhibitory activity assay, quercetin (4), quercitrin (5) and taxifolin 3-O-glucoside (2) showed potent activity.Conclusions: Eight flavonoids were reported for the first time from the leaves and twigs of the title plant. Some of these compounds showed potent free radical scavenging and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities.Keywords: Lindera sericea var. sericea; Lauraceae; Kekuromoji; free radical; α-glucosidase
Multimedia Thesaurus: A Case of Designing and Prospects for Using in Engineering Education
Authors: Bazhutina M. M.
Published: January 2021

The paper deals with the technology for the creation and use of an individual multimedia bilingual thesaurus as a tool for the integration of the foreign language and engineering disciplines at a technical university. The stages of designing and testing an individual thesaurus in vocational English language classes with students, majoring in automobile engineering, are described. Building on the achievements in thesaurus modelling in integrative foreign languages and professional disciplines teaching, the author presents her own technology for creating an individual English-Russian multimedia thesaurus, devoted to the automobile design, and the sequence of formation of speech skills in foreign language communication of engineers on its basis. The process of creating such thesaurus takes place at two levels of integration: intra-subject (interrelationship of all types of speech activity) and interdisciplinary (didactic synthesis of language and engineering disciplines). At the same time, the author outlines the areas of the near and further integration of the discipline «Professional English» and engineering disciplines, which is aimed at developing interdisciplinary thinking of engineering students. The author emphasizes the fact that successful teaching cross-cultural engineering communication requires outlining the content of learning situations, the modelling of which is the English language instructor’s responsibility. In order to organize this work, students are supposed to create a contextual part of the thesaurus from which the instructor singles out speech patterns. The selected speech patterns are mastered in a series of exercises and tasks prior to learning situations. The conclusion outlines ways of the further interdisciplinary integration by means of thesaurus modelling of professional subject areas.

Authors: Gamboa-Santos J , Vasco M.F. , Campañone L
Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND: The use of polysaccharide based edible coatings as a barrier against the solute entry of high caloric constituents, such as sucrose, is a suitable strategy to develop pro-healthy osmo-dehydrated products. OBJECTIVE: This work aims to study the effect of a calcium alginate film over the drying kinetics of strawberries during an osmotic dehydration (OD) treatment at 60°Brix, 4 h, 40°C (sucrose). Also, textural parameters were evaluated. METHODS: It was determined the changes in some selected physical properties, such as: moisture, total solid contents, one-dimensional shrinkage and texture, at 30 min steps during OD treatment. Besides, water and solid diffusion coefficients ( D e W and D e TS , respectively) were calculated by using the analytical solution of Fick’s equation. RESULTS: Diffusion coefficients for water and solids showed significant differences due to coating presence as an evidence of the barrier effect. Coated strawberry samples presented several changes after 2 h of OD treatment at the assayed conditions for most of the parameters evaluated. CONCLUSIONS: Alginate coating at the tested conditions acts as a barrier to sucrose influx and to water outflux until 2 and 3 h of OD treatment, respectively. Besides, a good textural quality for osmotically-dehydrated strawberries was obtained.

Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND:

Children’s dietary behaviors seem tract into adulthood and as a result preventing strategies to establish healthy behaviors from early stages of life are needed. Nutrition knowledge is essential for behavioral change.

OBJECTIVE:

To examine whether the status of parental health related to their children’s nutrition literacy level through their perceptions mainly of healthy eating attitudes

METHODS:

A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Greece among 1,728 schoolchildren aged 10–12 years old. The sample was collected in the school setting during the school years of 2014–2016. Children completed anonymously a self-administered questionnaire about their knowledge and perceptions of a healthy diet while their parents completed another suitable questionnaire about family health status.

RESULTS:

Paternal BMI status and hypertension were inversely associated with the level of nutrition literacy of their children by b = –0.043 (95%CI: (–0.082, –0.003; p = 0.036) and by b = –0.600 (95%CI: –1.181, –0.019; p = 0.043), respectively. Parental health status, specifically, paternal diabetes and maternal dyslipidemia were associated with children’s higher level of nutrition literacy by b = 0.729 (95%CI: 0.002, 1.456; p = 0.049) and by b = 0.730 (95%CI: 0.086, 1.374; p = 0.026), respectively.

CONCLUSIONS:

Parental health status partially affects, either negatively or positively, the level of nutrition literacy of their children. This impact depends on whether parents follow nutritional recommendations to improve their health.

Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND:

Hyperlipidemia associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is a global health issue that can be alleviated by functional foods.

OBJECTIVES:

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of composite oil (CO) of sesame seed oil (S SiO) and Vicia faba seed oil (S VfO) on inflammatory factors, ROS generation level, and cell apoptosis level on high lipid diet (HLD) induced hyperlipidemic rat model.

METHODS:

Hyperlipidemic rat model was developed by feeding HLD to the experimental rats for eight weeks. Male albino rats weighing around 200–210 g were randomly divided into three equal groups: group I: control, received a normal diet; group II: received HLD for eight weeks, and group III: received the HLD with CO orally. After 60 days of treatment, the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin (IL)-10; tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, IL-18, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and cell apoptosis were serially assessed.

RESULTS:

After eight weeks of CO treatment, TNF- α, IL-18, CRP, and oxidative ROS generation significantly decreased in CO treated group (group III) compared to group II. On the other hand, IL-10 levels significantly increased in CO treated group compared to group II animals. It was also observed that the percentage of the late apoptotic cell reduced considerably in the CO treated group (group III) compared to HLD-fed animals (group II).

CONCLUSION:

The results indicate that the CO could prevent CVDs via suppressing oxidative stress, and ameliorating inflammation and apoptosis in hyperlipidemic rats.
A Model for Evidence-Based Social Policy Making, Driven by Big Data, Dynamic Simulation and Stakeholders Participation
Authors: Androutsopoulou Aggeliki , Charalabidis Yannis
Published: January 2021

European Union and governments of the member states are striving to respond to contemporary socio-economic challenges with social investments and enhanced social support, often relying on social innovation in their quest to welfare reforms. However, social policy innovations targeting to improve social welfare, often neglect objective data describing societal phenomena and European citizens’ perspectives and patterns of human behaviour, resulting of their real status of wellbeing. Systematic methods for measuring the impact of innovative social policy reforms and transformations in the provision of social services is an important research challenge in the European welfare system. In this chapter, a comprehensive model of evidence-based social policy making is proposed, driven by dynamic simulation methodologies and data mining techniques to extract evidence from two types of data. On the one hand, objective data coming from a multiplicity of sources, including governmental data and statistical data, are used to capture the interlinked policy domains and their underlying casual mechanisms. On the other hand, it considers behavioural aspects and citizens’ opinions as data analytics emerging from Web 2.0 sources, social media posts, polls and statistical surveys. To combine this multimodal information, our approach suggests a modelling methodology that bases on big data acquisition and processing for the identification of significant factors and counterintuitive interrelations between them, which can be applied in any policy domain. Then, the suggested methodology is applied within the context of a social policy innovation initiative aiming to counter adversities of the migration challenge. The presented model provides a first proof a concept on how ICT and specifically data intelligence can drive social policy reforms. However, further application and validation of the approach for driving policy design and implementation in the future in any domain, is suggested.

Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND: Dizziness affects 20–30%of the general population. A subgroup of dizzy patients with chronic migraine suffers vertigo implying that the migraine has a vestibular component. Vestibular migraine remains a diagnosis of exclusion based on history. OBJECTIVE: A link between headaches and dizziness suggests that these individuals would demonstrate dizziness and instability in complex, dynamic visual environments as a result of an inability to correctly process conflicting visual and vestibular signals. METHODS: A convenience sample of 74 patients (22 men and 52 women; average age 56.2 years) who presented with complaints of dizziness participated. Effects of Visual-Vestibular Mismatch (VVM) were measured using a modified VVM questionnaire. Visual dependence was measured as the error to subjective visual vertical using a computerized Rod and Frame test. RESULTS: Forty-two participants (56.8%) tested positive for VVM. Of these, 68.9%were patients with concomitant complaints of headaches. Visual dependence was present in 41.5%of all patients but showed no significant correlation with headache. 22.2%of patients had visual dependence and complained of headaches. CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate that sensory reweighting occurs in patients experiencing dizziness and headache, supports the role of vestibular involvement in this disorder, and provides future direction for novel interventions.

Abstract. The Russian agrarian sector of the economy ensures the food security of the state and, solving the tasks of minimizing the import of agricultural products, raw materials and foodstuffs, the vector of its strategic development focuses on the export of food products and other agricultural products. The purpose of this study is to identify the actual state of exports of agricultural products produced by domestic agricultural producers. Methods. The article uses such research methods as the method of analysis and synthesis, the method of forecasting and the method of comparative analysis. The results of the article are that the analysis of statistical and other official documents in the field of export of Russian agricultural products shows that the direction of the agrarian sector of the economy in the field of food self-sufficiency is receiving sustainable development, despite the existing problems in the field of geopolitics and geoeconomics, which have a transformational impact on Russian agriculture. economy and agro-industrial complex. If we cite statistical data, then more than 1030 suppliers of Russian-made products appeared only in 2019, and the share of domestic goods is now 89 %. Moreover, 35 % are Sverdlovsk producers. This is a prerequisite for supporting domestic producers. And domestically produced goods have now received high recognition from the townspeople, as they are the most environmentally friendly and high-quality, and most importantly, fresh, because fresh products can be bought in a shop near the house. The scientific novelty of the research is characterized by a new approach to the formation and development of the international agri-food market with the active participation of Russian agriculture and the agro-industrial complex.

O câncer oral é responsável por 10% dos casos incidentes de câncer em todo o mundo. O objetivo foi analisar a tendência de mortalidade por câncer de boca e faringe em Juiz de Fora (Minas Gerais) no período 1980-2005. Utilizou-se a série histórica de óbitos do referido município para os anos de 1980 a 2005, período em que estão disponíveis os dados de mortalidade fornecidos pelo Ministério da Saúde. As taxas por ano e sexo foram padronizadas pela população mundial. Os dados de 1989 a 1991 foram obtidos por interpolação. Para o estudo da tendência, optou-se por estimar o modelo de regressão linear simples. Foi identificada tendência à estabilidade das taxas de mortalidade com discreta variação positiva entre os anos 1980 e 2005, com exceção dos tumores de faringe, entre mulheres. O sexo masculino exibiu maiores taxas de mortalidade em todos os anos e localizações, com exceção para os tumores de boca nos dois últimos anos da década de 1980. Os modelos de regressão não foram estatisticamente significativos. Embora tenha sido identificada tendência à estabilidade das taxas, devem ser incrementadas políticas de controle de exposição aos carcinógenos associados a essas localizações anatômicas, em especial o tabaco, e estimulados programas de rastreamento para as populações de risco, com objetivo de aumentar a sobrevida a partir do diagnóstico precoce.

Published: January 2021

Background: Bone-only metastatic breast cancer is believed to be non-life-threatening, and mild therapy is frequently selected to avoid adverse events of drug therapy. However, the prognoses of such patients are not well studied. Methods: Patients who received drug therapies for metastatic breast cancer between 2004 and 2016 at our institution were divided into the “Bone-only metastasis”, “non-visceral”, and “visceral” groups based on the mode of the first metastasis, and the efficacy of the first-line therapy and survival of these patients were compared. Results: There were 131 eligible patients, and the bone-only metastasis, non-visceral, and visceral groups included 26, 25, and 80 patients, respectively. The median survival time (MST) of the overall survival (OS) in each group was 35.1, 34.9, and 37.4 months, respectively (p=0.71). The clinical benefit rates of first-line therapy in the bone-only metastasis, non-visceral, and visceral groups were 66.7%, 45%, and 69.3%, respectively, and the MST of the time to treatment failure (TTF) in each group was 6.3, 5.5, and 5.8 months, respectively, showing that the efficacy of first-line therapy did not significantly differ among the groups. In the bone-only metastasis group, patients with <5 metastases tended to have a good prognosis, and those with a low nuclear grade and long first-line therapy duration had a significantly better prognosis than others. Conclusion: The patients with bone-only metastasis had a similar prognosis and treatment response to those with other modes of metastasis, and the patients with a good response to the first-line therapy had a good prognosis.

Authors: SERÇEOĞLU Neslihan , ÇETİNKAYA Mehmet
Published: January 2021

In today’s world, restaurants are not the places where people only supply their eating and drinking needs by necessity, they act as business enterprises as well, which enable people to interact one another in terms of socio-cultural aspect. However, consumers’ demands have important impacts on turning restaurants into these roles. Even, the increase in the number of alternative restaurants has made customers try new restaurants. For this reason, restaurants do need to satisfy customers’ consumption-related feelings alongside their eating experience to make their present customers loyal and attract new customers as well. In other words, the factors such as aesthetics, ambiance and physical factors/drivers including seating place preference, table and plate evaluation of the restaurants that consumers prefer/will prefer is a must that needs to be used as a criterion of success by the restaurants. In this vein, this study aims to investigate the physical environment in the restaurants as a part of micro dimension. A questionnaire form was developed through scales, related to the subject, and field research was carried out. The study findings unveiled that there are positive significant relationships among the variables such as; participants’ educational qualification and seating place preference, participants’ income level and plate evaluation, participants’ seating place preference and restaurant’s aesthetics and lastly, participants’ seating place preference and table evaluation. The study also unveiled that the physical environment generally does constitute important criteria on consumers’ preference in the restaurants.
La real aduana de Buenos Aires y la quiebra de su primer administrador : Francisco Ximénez de Mesa, dominación y control real en una sociedad de antiguo régimen.
Authors: Vaccani María Evangelina
Published: January 2021

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo indagar sobre la capacidad de control que tenía la Monarquía en las instituciones fiscales del Virreinato del Río de la Plata. Para dar cuenta de ello se tomará la Real Aduana de Buenos Aires y se considerará el accionar de sus servidores. La Aduana se creó en 1778 con el fin de recaudar rentas sobre las mercancías puestas en circulación sobre el complejo portuario rioplatense. Se abordará la primera experiencia administrativa de Francisco Ximénez de Mesa al frente de la Aduana, quien en 1788 se declaró en quiebra y debió afrontar su procesamiento judicial. Las actuaciones del Consejo de Indias en las causas de Ximénez nos permiten conocer las acciones que desarrolló en forma conjunta con la elite local. Este estudio se propone ver cómo operaban los actores en los entramados institucionales de la Corona, a fin de repensar el sistema de dominación operante en la realidad política americana. Las fuentes consultadas son legajos del Juzgado de Crimen y de la Real Hacienda. Estas fuentes se complementarán con disposiciones, ordenanzas reales, reglamentos e instrucciones creadas para el funcionamiento normativo de la Aduana.
Privilegios y favores en el Río de la Plata a fines del siglo XVIII : la “centralización corporativa” como interpretación posible del sistema de poder.
Authors: Kraselsky Javier
Published: January 2021

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el sistema político americano a fines del siglo XVIII a través del estudio de las relaciones entre la Corona y los actores locales en el Río de la Plata. Específicamente se buscará construir un concepto teórico que contribuya a interpretar el sistema de poder que llamaremos centralización corporativa. Este concepto pretende definir los mecanismos de dominación utilizados en la dinámica y asimétrica relación entre dos cuerpos con distinto margen de poder. Por un lado, la Corona y los ministros ilustrados que tenían como propósito consolidar el absolutismo real como en los territorios europeos y por otro, el de las elites locales que ejercían el control de las corporaciones mercantiles y que buscaban conservar su poder y autonomía. Como resultado del encuentro entre las diversas lógicas de acción emerge, en América, un sistema político “híbrido” que específicamente en el espacio del Río de la Plata, llamamos centralización corporativa.
Observaciones sobre el complejo social-laboral portuario rioplatense del siglo XVIII.
Authors: Sandrín María Emilia
Published: January 2021

En el presente trabajo se propone un abordaje a un sector social del mercado de trabajo portuario regional que vivía de la provisión de bienes y servicios para la navegación del servicio real y para el abasto de las tropas asentadas en el Río de la Plata, o en tránsito hacia otros destinos, en el siglo XVIII. Estudiar a este sector social a través de fuentes fiscales permitió analizar cómo una porción del gasto público en determinados bienes y servicios pudo dinamizar la economía rioplatense y distribuir beneficios entre todos los sectores de la sociedad. Esta perspectiva permitió analizar a las personas que trabajaron en la satisfacción de las demandas y observar si lograron algún grado de prosperidad. Las fuentes para analizar a este sector social son registros contables de determinados acontecimientos testigos dentro del siglo XVIII: libros de Carenas, libros de caja y Balances generales de Proveedores, cartas cuentas de la Caja de Buenos Aires e informaciones relevadas de bibliografía complementaria sobre esta temática en el período especificado.
Aproximación a la estructura socioeconómica desde un enfoque sociocultural : el consumo como vía a la identidad en el Río de la Plata Virreinal.
Authors: Gastaldi Ana Clara , Esjaita Mariel
Published: January 2021

Partiendo de la necesidad de aproximarse a las formas de la dominación y la estructuración social en el territorio rioplatense del Antiguo Régimen, entendemos que el consumo, en tanto fase final del proceso productivo, permite la expresión de formas de identificación y adscripción colectivas de los distintos sectores componentes del tejido social, en los que se conjugan factores de poder adquisitivo, así como expectativas sociales, prácticas, elecciones personales, e imaginarios comunes. En ese sentido, en este trabajo se buscará problematizar el estudio de la estratificación social en relación a los procesos de identificación, en particular para el espacio rioplatense virreinal, y empezar a establecer protocolos de trabajo para el estudio del consumo entre sectores populares y entre sectores de la élite, que permitan establecer patrones diferenciales entre los distintos sectores de la estructura social del Buenos Aires virreinal. Buscamos aproximarnos a este tópico desde una triple perspectiva, económica, social y cultural, trabajando desde una visión holística que permita dar cuenta de las particulares condiciones de la identificación en la sociedad porteña durante el Virreinato del Río de la Plata, como punto de partida para abordar el conjunto de los territorios implicados en el espacio económico rioplatense.

Published: January 2021

In structural design of steel frames, in order to achieve proper safety, the effect of uncertainties in the design and loading parameters of the structure must be considered. This approach is obtained by defining a reliability index. In this study, the Modified Dolphin Monitoring (MDM) operator was used to evaluate the reliability index of three well-known steel frame structures based on the Hasofer-Lind method. The reliability index was evaluated using the EVPS and VPS algorithms and with considering the MDM operator on them. The constraint of the last story drift is considered as limit state function. The random variables consist of external loads, modulus of elasticity, moment of inertia and cross-sectional areas. According to the number of evaluations of the limit state function, the results show the efficiency of this method in comparison to the Monte Carlo simulation method. Also, the values of the most probable point (MPP) are examined.

Indonesia has three nuclear research reactors, nemely: RSG-GAS in Serpong, TRIGA2000 reactor in Bandung, and Kartini reactor in Yogyakarta. Besides being useful, nuclear reactor has inharent risk due to its radiation hazard. The research reactor nuclear contingency plan was prepared for nuclear preparedness. The study aimed to analyze the implementation of the research reactors’ nuclear contingency plans. The study used an analytic descriptive qualitative methods. The results showed that the nuclear contingency plans of the three research reactors have different implementation range due to their different hazard risks. However, the nuclear emergency responses were the same, they were: sheltering, evacuation, provision of KI tablets, and prohibition of consumption of local food and contaminated river/ ground water. The research reactors’ nuclear contingency plans have not discussed criteria used for taking nuclear emergency responses. The results also showed that the nuclear contingency plan of RSG-GAS in Serpong and the Kartini reactor in Yogyakarta have been implemented partially. While for the TRIGA2000 reactor nuclear contingency plan in Bandung has not been implemented yet. A legal umbrella is needed to implement the research reactor nuclear contingency plan. Thus, coordination and active role from all stakeholders are needed to be enhanced in order to be able to resolve the existing obstacles and challenges.

Authors: Fedoruk I.
Published: January 2021

The article substantiates the necessity of treating seeds of soybean with an inoculum and microelement with Vuksal CoMO 15. Their usage improves the ability of leguminous plants to fix atmospheric nitrogen and improves the activity of two important enzymes, nitroreductase and nitrogenase, which are necessary for the reduction of nitrates and increasing the potential of soybean yield. Conclusions are made on the basis of research data analysis. One of the important factors affecting the soybean crop is the moisture availability in the soil, and here the ability of the variety becomes one of the first places to realize their genetic potential in extreme weather conditions in combination with seed treatment inoculant HiStik, HiKot Super + HiKot Super Extender, combined with the use of micronutrient fertilizers based on available boron path is applied to the leaf apparatus during the budding phase of the beginning of flowering; this combination is a significant element in soybean growing technology. Having counted the crop according to the options with the HiCstick inoculant, HighCot Super + HighCot Supe rExtender 1.42+1.42 l/t with the addition of Vuksal Boron, different results were obtained depending on the ripeness group of the soybean variety. So, the early stigli grade Maxus increased the yield to control by 5.5 c/ha, while the use of Vuksal Boron down another 1.8 c/ha, while the mid-season Cordoba added 2.7 c/ha to the control and additionally from the use of Vuksal Boron 2.6 c/ha, the late-ripening Saska variety increased yields to control by 3.7 c/ha, and additionally 3.1 c/ha from the use of Vuksal Boron. The use of dry inoculant on peat base ChiStik 4 kg/t and ChiStik + Vuksal Boron also shows a positive dynamics of crop growth with the exception of Cordoba. On the Maxus cultivar, an inoculant use for the control was additionally obtained 5.2 c/ha and additionally 1.2 c/ha from the use of Vuksal Boron, an additional 1.3 c/hawas obtained for the Cordoba control, but the yield decreased by 0.6 c/ha use of Vuksal Boron for adverse weather conditions, the Saska variety for control received an additional 3.2 c/ha, and additionally from the use of Vuksal Boron 2.9 c/ha.

Thus, the yield of the Fortetsia Poliska variety was 7.31 t/ha, Pyriatynka – 7.10 t/ha, Zemlerob – 7.06 t/ha, Krasunya Poliska – 6.95 t/ha, Lyubito – 6.72 t/ha ha, Efektna – 6.36 t/ha, Mokosha – 6.27 t/ha. It is worth noting the significant variation in the yield over the years of research in all varieties submitted for further study and registration for state scientific and technical examination. At the Panfil research station, the yield of soft winter wheat varieties Mokosha and Zemlerob exceeded the standard in terms of yield – 6.4 t/ha, Fortetsia Poliska – 6.1 t/ha and the Efektna variety was not inferior to the standard – 5.9 t/ha. Brown rust damage during 2016–2020 was lower compared to powdery mildew. It was found that the Efektna variety had a very high resistance to both powdery mildew and brown rust. Very high resistance to brown rust was observed in 2020 for all varieties that were submitted for variety testing. It was found that the incidence of leaf septoria during 2016–2020 was high compared to brown rust and powdery mildew. The cultivar Zemlerob was selected, which had both a stable lesion (Min = 7 %) and a weak susceptibility (Max = 28 %). It was found that in the snowless 2020 and in the abundant rainfall of 2018, the defeat of septoria leaves had moderate resistance (X = 15.81 %) and (X = 20.03 %). Studies have shown that in 2020 a very high resistance to septoria of the ear was observed in the variety Fortetsia Poliska. In the Pyriatynka, Efektna, Lyubito varieties, the development of the disease was noted to be 1.0 % and the spread of the disease in the area – 10.0 %.

Published: January 2021

This report, from the Australian Rotavirus Surveillance Program and collaborating laboratories Australia-wide, describes the rotavirus genotypes identified in children and adults with acute gastroenteritis during the period 1 January to 31 December 2019. During this period, 964 faecal specimens had been referred for rotavirus G- and P- genotype analysis, including 894 samples that were confirmed as rotavirus positive. Of these, 724/894 were wild-type rotavirus strains and 169/894 were identified as vaccine-like. A single sample could not be determined as wild-type or vaccine-like due to poor sequencing. Genotype analysis of the 724 wild-type rotavirus samples from both children and adults demonstrated that G3P[8] was the dominant genotype nationally, identified in 46.7% of samples, followed by G2P[4] in 8.8% of samples. The Australian National Immunisation Program (NIP) changed to the exclusive use of Rotarix as of 1 July 2017. The NIP had previously included two live-attenuated oral vaccines: Rotarix (monovalent, human) and RotaTeq (pentavalent, human-bovine reassortant) in a state-based vaccine selection. Continuous surveillance is imperative to determine the effect of this change in rotavirus vaccine schedule on the genotype distribution and diversity in Australia.
Termination of a Trench-Linked Strike-Slip Fault Zone in the Sumatra–Java Forearc Basin and Accretionary Wedge Complex
Authors: Mukti Maruf M , Arisbaya Ilham , Permana Haryadi
Published: January 2021

This paper presents a review of several published seismic reflection and seismicity data and analyzes of high-resolution bathymetry data to revise the exact location and reveal detail characteristics of a strike-slip fault zone that formed the southernmost segment of the Sumatran Fault (SF). Previous works interpreted this fault segment as a horst structure to the south of a pull-apart basin. We observe a clear linear trace of dissected seafloor parallels to SF in the high-resolution bathymetric map. This structure extends from the south of a pull-apart basin in the northwest to the Sunda accretionary wedge farther southeast. This lineament exhibits a narrow valley and a linear ridge that in the subsurface are interpreted as negative and positive flower structures, respectively. The structure exhibits a vertical fault plane and appears to have deformed the accretionary wedge sediments and basement at depth. A cluster of shallow seismicity is observed along this NW-trending fault zone, indicating the activity of this zone. Here, we proposed this strike-slip fault as the Ujung Kulon Fault that marks the southeasternmost segment of the SF zone. This segment deformed the area of the Sumatra-Java forearc basin and terminated in accretionary wedge near the trench. The accumulated strain within UKF may trigger large earthquake in the future, close to the highly populated areas in the coast of Sumatra and Java.Keywords: Strike-slip fault, Sumatra Fault, Ujung Kulon Fault, segmentation, earthquake.

В данной статье приводятся исследования формирования и использования геотермальных вод. Одним из распространённых видов отложений является карбонат кальция. Борьба с его отложениями в геотермаль-ных системах ведётся, в большинстве случаев, путем поддержания в системе высокого давления или ингибированием химическими реагентами, что не всегда оказывается эффективным и, к тому же, последнее загрязняет окружающую среду.Решение проблемы предотвращения карбонатных отложений в геотермальных системах представляется перспективным в поддержании равновесных параметров давления и температуры геотермальной воды, при которых она стабильна.
