ECOPOLITICS AND GLOBAL SECURITY: FROM DISCOURSE TO POLICIES
Authors: Ramos Cláudia Toriz
Published: July 2020

Ecopolitics entered political discourse firstly as an alternative debate to mainstream politics and ideological refutation of the established political order, and that way gained public expression in social movements of contestation. Subsequently, it emerged intertwined in the discourse of party politics and finally came to reach the core of contemporary political systems and their political agendas. The construction and the spreading of the ecopolitical discourse are addressed in the first part of the article. The way it entered the field of public policies is the core concern of the second part, with a focus on international and global security policies. Ecopolitical thinking has contributed to a shift in international security paradigms, from the conventional, realist and state-centred national security paradigm to approaches that privilege human security and global sustainability. To the end, the article reviews extant policy areas connecting environment with security.
European Banking Union: a two-stroke reality
Authors: Almeida da Silva Vitor Carlos
Published: July 2020

This paper focuses on the study concerning the European Banking Union’s conclusion. The European Banking Union was scheduled to come into existence in 2013, but it did not become a reality until 2014 when it implemented its first pillar: The Single Supervisory Mechanism. This European project appears, after the economic and financial crisis of 2007-2008 and the sovereign debt crises of 2010, as a fundamental complement to Economic and Monetary Union, since it is one of the blocks that allows its deepening, harmonising the supervision, resolution and protection of depositors in the Euro Zone. However, the third pillar, the European Deposit Insurance Scheme, has not yet been implemented, contributing to the non completion and inefficiency of this European project in the face of a new financial crisis.This text seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the European Banking Union and its pillars. It is divided into three parts: the first part is a brief background on the motivations behind the creation of the Banking Union; the second part concerns the three pillars that constitute it; and the third and final part is a brief conclusion on the outcome of this European project.
Accuracy of referencing and patterns of plagiarism in electronically published theses
Authors: Moore Erja
Published: July 2020

Research on accuracy of referencing has shown deficiencies in both students' and researchers' efforts to cite accurately. Students' attitudes and understanding about what constitutes plagiarism has been researched extensively, but there is much less evidence about actual patterns of plagiarism. This study aimed to analyse both accuracy of referencing and plagiarism in electronically published theses. The data consisted of a sample of theses published in Theseus database, which is an electronic publication forum for universities of applied sciences in Finland. Altogether 91 theses in the areas of health and business studies formed the purposive sample for this study. Thesis texts were analysed by comparing the in-text citations to references, and in case of frequent inaccuracy a Google search was used to scrutinise possible plagiarism. The accuracy of referencing was classified in four categories: accurate, some inaccuracy, constant inaccuracy, and misleading referencing/plagiarism. Examples of inaccurate referencing, misleading referencing and plagiarism are presented in the article.
Ensuring integrity in educational assessment
Authors: Steer Michael , Gentle Francis
Published: July 2020

This paper recommends an approach to educational assessment of students who are blind or vision impaired which takes into account both issues of integrity and educational accommodations that 'level the paying field'. The paper provides a taxonomy of the variety of educational assessment accommodations available for formal and informal tasks in assessing students who are blind or vision impaired. Teachers can enhance educational integrity by ensuring the participation of students in the development of appropriate educational accommodations, and by facilitating the development of students' self-advocacy and problem solving skills.
Originality, imitation and plagiarism: Teaching writing in the digital age
Authors: Walker Ruth
Published: July 2020

At one stage in the anthology Originality, imitation and plagiarism: Teaching writing in the digital age, it is pointed out that students 'worry' about plagiarism in the same way that they worry about engaging in file-sharing or illegally downloading software. That is – they don't. The attendant risks of getting caught or becoming vulnerable to a computer virus are recognised as the potential bad outcomes, but have become steadily normalised. This analogy, with its viral undertones, nicely expresses the quandary at the heart of a discussion of students' writing in the digital age, where the expanded possibilities of online research seem to not only model but to openly invite copying practices. It is increasingly difficult for student writers to negotiate the competing pressures of popular media culture, which actively complicate the concepts of originality and imitation, and the pedagogical directives to avoid plagiarism in their academic work. The issue is not as clear cut as some plagiarism policies might suggest, as the complexities of fair use and copyright of online material are being debated both in and out of the academy. This anthology explores the blurred lines of the often confusing and contradictory approaches to writing in the digital age, with individual essays addressing– through a range of disciplines and technologies – the central question of how ethical research and writing standards and practices can be fostered while simultaneously taking advantage of the opportunities provided by new technologies.

The assessment of ethics
Authors: Hughes Clair
Published: July 2020

That Australian universities value the development of qualities broadly related to ethics is evidenced through their inclusion in institutional statements of graduate attributes (GA). Early GA implementation strategies largely emphasised the mapping of specific attributes against existing programmes or courses. There is now a growing acknowledgement that authentic implementation does not occur unless GAs are embedded in assessment. The assessment of GAs is a problematic and challenging task, a situation attributed partly to difficulties in conceptualising GAs in ways that facilitate their operationalisation in teaching and assessment and partly to inadequacies in the development of assessment strategies and instruments. For many academics, the moral dimension of ethics so intensifies the assessment challenge that they are often not assessed at all. While these difficulties are acknowledged, this paper argues the case for the explicit inclusion of ethics in course

teaching and assessment plans and illustrates some of the contexts, including the student university learning experience, in which the development and assessment of ethics can be undertaken.
Rewired: Understanding the iGeneration and the way they learn
Authors: Friend Annalise
Published: July 2020

Larry D. Rosen argues for the need to more fully embrace technology and to incorporate digital media when educating young technologically advanced student cohorts. Rewired: Understanding the iGeneration and the Way They Learn is a good introduction to recent research on the use of technology by young people, and the pedagogical potential of utilising the rapid and unique changes in behaviour of this demographic. However, the book lacks consideration of the ethics of such a pedagogical approach in terms of the implications for students' health, labour and other environmental factors.

Stop plagiarism: A guide to understanding and prevention
Authors: Wallace Margaret
Published: July 2020

Who would not be attracted by a book title such as Stop Plagiarism: A Guide to Understanding and Prevention? If you are a teacher, learning advisor or librarian, any clues you can find to help prevent plagiarism would be welcome. If you do judge a book by its cover (or by those details that can be gleaned in the first few pages) you might be attracted or repelled by the fact that that it has such an assertive title and by the fact that it originates in the United States. Are your concerns well-founded?

The uses of digital literacy
Authors: Freund Katharina
Published: July 2020

John Hartley's The Uses of digital literacy (2009) is the respectful son to Richard Hoggart's The Uses of literacy (1957), and seeks to update this foundational cultural studies text by examining the contemporary concerns of multimedia and digital communication. Through its eight chapters, Hartley's book covers a number of topics, several of which seem unrelated to the titular issue of "digital literacy". The first chapter is probably the most valuable for teachers, in that it suggests that educational institutions must teach digital literacy skills, and that these skills must necessarily be taught informally. Rather than admonishing students for their "inappropriate" use of Facebook or YouTube while in class, educators can usefully take advantage of the of the existing peer-to-peer knowledge networks of their students.

Wikiworld
Authors: Walker Ruth
Published: July 2020

Wikiworld (2010) offers an engaging account of the possibilities opened up in the area of education and digital media by 'wikis'. The authors, Juhu Suoranta and Tere VadÃ©n, point out that wikis, as decentralized web-based writing platforms, represent a 'new' ethos of participation, collaboration and co-operation for higher education. They explore the ongoing fascination with new technologies in moving towards a progressive transformation from the institutionalized and individualized forms of learning to more open and collaborative learning. In this book, which was first released as an open-content online publication, the authors not only put forward a challenge to the integrity of the 'closed' university system - with its emphasis on qualifications, competition and the marketisation of higher education - but they support this with a broader critical evaluation of the development of Western information societies. Participatory online media such as wikis are proposed in this book as ideological battlefields, whose central characteristics include voluntary participation, sharing and anonymous collectivism. These activities, the authors claim, are 'practices of actual freedom' (p.1).

Plagiarism in three acts
Authors: Wrobbel Eric Duff
Published: July 2020

Three brief studies are conducted regarding plagiarism in the age of the internet. The first identifies the disparity between cited and un-cited examples of brief media catchphrases used on the internet. The second uses a thesaurus to generate alternative wordings of established definitions and tests them for legibility. The third asks respondents to spontaneously generate definitions for common concepts and uses Google to test those spontaneous definitions for plagiarism. In all three cases, results are such that they call into question current views on the nature of plagiarism itself.
Analysis of the Narrative Perspective of Katherine Mansfield’s “The Garden Party”
Authors: Huang Zhongju , Feng Xiaoxuan
Published: July 2020

Katharine Mansfield is a successful female writer in the literary history of the 20th century, who marks a new period of English short stories. She uses tremendous modernistic techniques and digs deep beneath the surface of life to show the causes of human happiness and despair in her works. “The Garden Party” is one of her most famous and representative short stories. Previous studies have mostly focused on its artistic methods, themes and characters, as well as the combination of all, but there are only few studies choosing its narrative perspectives as their study topic. This paper analyzed the narrative perspective in this story, focusing on the use of nonfocalization, internal focalization and covert progression and the effects they have. It is found that the change of ways of focalization combining with covert progression in this story forms a parallel of objective description and ironic description with the plot development, adds a new group to the relationship between the former implied author and target readers, and reveals two different ways (idealistic and realistic) of understanding this story, letting readers reflect on the behaviors of the upper-middle-class people and ironically pointing out their selfish nature.
UJI AKTIVITAS ANTIOKSIDAN FRAKSI ETIL ASETAT DAUN SALAM (Syzygium polyanthum) DAN UJI BILANGAN PEROKSIDA-NYA TERHADAP MINYAK GORENG CURAH

Cooking oil is a necessity of the people of Indonesia that is always needed. Based on the stages of manufacture, oil is divided into two, namely branded oil and bulk oil. Until now, branded oil is still the main choice even though it is economically more expensive than bulk oil. This is related to the tendency of bulk oil to experience rancidity due to oxidation reactions. The quality of bulk oil can be scientifically improved by the addition of antioxidants. Commonly used antioxidants are synthetic antioxidants such as TBHQ. Natural antioxidants are less popular because they have only stalled in the study but have not been compared significantly with synthetic antioxidants. In this study, a research is used to find out the stability of bulk oil with the addition of bay leaf ethyl acetate fraction and as a comparison of the use of TBHQ. Analysis of antioxidant activity of DPPH method was also used to find out determine the relationship between the power of antioxidant activity with the quality of bulk cooking oil. The evaluation was performed on the addition of bay leaf extract with various concentrations treated on bulk oil by heating for 20 minutes using 90˚C temperature. The results showed that the bay leave ethyl acetate fraction has IC50 value of 19.473 ppm, so it can effectively reduce the number of peroxide. The smallest peroxide number was obtained at treatment P6 (1%) that is 5,304 meqO2 / kg, where TBHQ (0,2%) as comparison have value equal to 4,147 meqO2 / kg. This shows that the antioxidant activity is very strong in bay leaf significantly affect the inhibition of bulk oil destruction. Natural antioxidant from bay leaf can prevent bulk oil from oxidation as well as synthetic antioxidants, but safer than synthetic antioxidants.
Design and Synthesis of Novel Anticancer Peptide Nanoparticles
Authors: Sun Zhi-Gang , Li Zhi-Na , Yang Bao-Chan , Zhao Liang-Hui
Published: July 2020

Cancer has now become a common disease affecting human health. Existing cancer treatment drugs can no longer meet the growing needs of cancer patients, and the emergence of anticancer drug resistance has exacerbated this phenomenon. By designing and synthesizing new anticancer peptide nanoparticles and studying their anticancer effects, new strategies for cancer treatment may be obtained. Novel anticancer peptides are synthesized by adding basic amino acids and solid-phase synthesis technology, and their structural information is determined by mass spectrometry. Nanoparticles of anticancer peptide were synthesized by nano-self-assembly technology. Two novel anticancer peptides exhibited anticancer activity, one of which was assembled into nanoparticles. The theoretical isoelectric points of the modified SZG3 and SZG5 are all greater than physiological pH, and will be positively charged under physiological conditions. The estimated half-life of SZG3 and SZG5 is significantly extended (30h), which is beneficial to increase the efficacy and reduce toxic and side effects. SZG3 and SZG5 have a good inhibitory effect on tumor cells and have low toxicity to normal cells.

Published: July 2020

Background: Antibiotics are the most widely utilized therapeutic agents. Inappropriate use causes increase cost and antibiotic resistance. The World Health Organization recommends assessment of antibiotics use to guide prescribing practices.

Objective: To describe the pattern of antibiotic usage among paediatric inpatients aged > 1 month to 15 years in a tertiary hospital in Sokoto, Nigeria.

Methods: Febrile children were recruited prospectively by systematic random sampling from January to October 2018. Socio-demographics, diagnosis, antibiotics administered were obtained from case notes. The WHO indicators of use of antibiotics were employed for evaluation. Data was analysed with SPSS version 23.

Results: Out of 352 children, 318 (90.3%) received antibiotics; commonest being Ceftriaxone in 155/318 (48.7%), Cefuroxime in 74 (23.2%), and Metronidazole in 29 (9.1%). Average number of antibiotics per patient was 2.3±1.1 with treatment duration of 4.3±1.4days. Antibiotic consumption was 937.2 days of antibiotic therapy/1000 patient days (DOT/PD). Generic name was used in 92.3% while 100% of the drugs were on the essential medicine list. Frequent diagnoses were severe malaria 98/352 (27.8%), respiratory infections 39 (11.1%) and severe malnutrition in 38 (10.8%). Only 6 (1.7%) patients had microbiologic evidence of infection.

Conclusion: Utilization of antibiotics is higher than recommended. There is need for improved diagnostic facilities to avoid antibiotic overuse and its consequences.

Oxidation of LDL has been suggested to be an initial step in the development of atherosclerosis. This research work deals with the evaluation of antioxidant potential of Plectranthus glandulosus leaves extracts and fractions as well as its protective effects against human LDL oxidation. A preliminary quantitative phytochemical screening was carried out. Antioxidant potential was evaluated employing in vitro hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide scavenging assays and TAOC test. The human LDL oxidation induced by CuSO4 inhibition test was also performed. Plectranthus glandulosus leaves exhibited the presence of 18.3% of saponines, 25.6% of terpenoids and 36.2% of flavonoids. EAF exhibited highest hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide scavenger activity (IC50 13.63µg/ml and 24.59 µg/ml respectively). Ascorbic acid exhibited an IC50 value of 15.39µg/ml in hydrogen peroxide assay and 22.96 µg/ml in nitric oxide scavenging activity. EAF exhibited a higher TAOC (optical density 0.186±0.00) than that of ascorbic acid (0.162±0.001) at the concentration of 25µg/ml while at 200µg/ml N-BUTF exhibited a higher optical density (1.261±0.001) than that of ascorbic acid (1.065±0.001). EAF lengthened the lag time of the CD formation up to 150mins at the concentration 1mg/ml. TBARS formation inhibition at the concentration 0.5mg/ml, were no significant different between n-butanol (68.55%) ethyl acetate fraction (68.21%) and quercetin 67.69%). Plectranthus glandulosus is a promising prospect as an anti-atherosclerotic agent and needs a detailed study to establish the same.

CADERNO DE MEMÓRIAS COLONIAIS, DE ISABELA FIGUEIREDO, E O CAMPO EXPANDIDO DA LITERATURA
Authors: Pacheco Keli Cristina
Published: July 2020

Neste artigo propomos uma breve leitura em campo expandido de Caderno de Memórias Coloniais (2009), de Isabela Figueiredo, romance em escrita íntima que se passa em Moçambique e Portugal, durante o neocolonialismo e pós-independência de Moçambique. O conceito de campo expandido, elaborado por Rosalind Krauss (1979), solicita à crítica um olhar para a forma, e uma reflexão sobre o que a forma impõe e deseja provocar. Nesse passo, o pós-moderno acontece quando a artista não se interroga sobre os meios de expressão, estes não determinam mais a práxis, mas se tornam vias em prol de uma expressão, estratégia possível de ser localizada em Caderno de Memórias Coloniais. Roberto Vecchi (2008) já indicara, em chave teórica, a existência de uma estratégia de dominação portuguesa a partir de um projeto colonial desagregador, temática presente no romance que, como veremos, aparece conjugada a sua forma narrativa.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: literatura contemporânea; literatura portuguesa; campo expandido
TOM PAULIN'S POETRY OF TROUBLES
Authors: Wolwacz Andrea Ferras
Published: July 2020

This paper is part of my PhD thesis. It examines contemporary Northern Irish Literature written in English with the help of the theoretical approach of Irish Studies. It aims to introduce and make a critique of poetry written by Tom Paulin, a contemporary British poet who is regarded one of the major Protestant Irish writers to emerge from Ulster province. The thread pursued in this analysis relates to an investigation of how ideological discourses and the issues of identity are represented in the poet’s work. The author’s critical evaluation of existing ideologies and identities and his attempt to respond to them will also be analyzed. Four poems from three different collections are investigate. Paulin’s poems function as testimonies, denouncement and criticism of the Irish history.

O objetivo deste trabalho é discutir a noção de poética da extração como um operar que decanta efeitos de criação do trabalho de subtração/perda. Para tanto, parte da articulação entre os estudos de Rosalind Krauss (1979), em que a autora deriva a proposição de campo expandido do delineamento de uma noção de escultura que se ergue a partir da composição de negativos, e o trabalho do escritor norte-americano Jonathan Safran Foer, que escreve o livro Tree of codes operando uma verdadeira exumação da obra de Bruno Schulz, A Rua dos Crocodilos. A articulação desses trabalhos permite delinear condições de localização de um impossível que resta indicado, sem ser apreendido, e que acaba por fazer incidir efeitos de expansão sobre campos, como os da literatura, da arte e os estudos da memória, bem como por ver surgir o que nos permitimos chamar de um livro-objeto-escultura-obra-de-arte.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: campo expandido; poética da extração; escultura; literatura.

São trabalhos onde se cruzam tempos e espaços, se recuperam sensações e dados da memória individual e coletiva e nos quais, simultaneamente, o caseiro e o interiorano se aproximam do distante e do estrangeiro. A partir da noção de campo expandido, desenvolvida pela teórica americana Rosalind Krauss, no artigo “Sculpture in Expanded Field”, de 1979, que explora certa condição do poético e traz alguns elementos esculturais que podem auxiliar a definir estratégias teóricas de abordagem ao literário, entendemos a cena contemporânea na aproximação analítica e crítica a objetos, textos e imagens em movimento para fora das especificidades.

DPP-4 inhibitors, SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1RA. The search strategy was
developed based on medical subject sub-headings (MeSH) terms and keywords.

Study selection : 64 studies
qualified for meta-analysis after full-text review based on pre-defined
inclusion and exclusion criteria. RCTs
with at least 50 patients in each arm; >70% of population from Asian
or White group; duration>=24 weeks; published up to March 2019 were selected
for systematic review and meta-analysis.

Data extraction:Data
extraction was done for aggregated study-level data , by two independent
researchers. Absolute changes in HbA1c (%) from baseline to 24 weeks between
the drug and placebo was considered as the primary endpoint of the study.

Data synthesis: Change in
HbA1c was evaluated by computing mean differences (MDs) and 95% confidence
intervals (CI) between treatment and placebo arms.

Limitations:  Study is based on summarized data and could not
be separated based on East Asians and South Asians.

Conclusion : The glucose
lowering efficacy of SGLT-2i, and to a lesser extent DPP-4i, was greater in
studies of predominantly Asian ethnicity compared to studies of predominantly
white ethnicity. There was no difference
seen by ethnicity for GLP-1RA.
Newly Discovered Abnormal Glucose Tolerance in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction and Cardiovascular Outcomes: A Meta-analysis
Authors: Laichuthai Nitchakarn , Abdul-Ghani Muhammad , Kosiborod Mikhail , Parksook Wasita Warachit , Kerr Stephen J , DeFronzo Ralph
Published: July 2020

Background:
The
prevalence of unrecognized abnormal glucose tolerance (AGT) and the incidence
of recurrent CV events in acute MI patients has not been systematically
evaluated.

Purposes: (1) To define the prevalence of newly
discovered AGT; (2) To examine the risk of recurrent MACE and mortality in
acute MI patients.

Data
sources: MEDLINE,
Embase, Cochrane library, and Google Scholar

Study
selection:
Inclusion criteria: (1) prospective studies in acute MI patients without known
history of diabetes; (2) AGT diagnosed using FPG, 2-hour OGTT or A1c; (3)
incidence of MACE and/or all-cause mortality in newly discovered AGT were
provided.

Data
extraction:
Two investigators extracted the data. Pooled prevalence, incidence rate ratios
and hazard ratios (HR) were calculated using random-effect models.

Data
synthesis: In 19 studies (n = 41,509; median follow up =
3.1 years), prevalence of newly discovered AGT = 48.4% (95%CI 40.2-56.6). Prediabetes
had higher mortality risk than NGT (HR = 1.36, 95%CI 1.13-1.63, p<0.001) and
MACE (HR = 1.42, 95%CI 1.20-1.68, p<0.001). Newly diagnosed diabetes had higher
mortality risk than NGT (HR = 1.74, 95% CI 1.48 – 2.05, p<0.001) and MACE (HR
= 1.54, 95% CI 1.23-1.93, p<0.001).

Limitations: This is not an individual patient
data meta-analysis. Time to event analysis and covariate-adjusted analysis
cannot be conducted to examine heterogeneity reliably. Few studies reported CV
death and heart failure hospitalizations.

Conclusions:
Acute
MI patients have a high prevalence of newly discovered AGT. Aggressive
risk reduction strategies in this population, especially in prediabetes, are
warranted.
The Measurement of Insulin Clearance
Authors: Piccinini Francesca , Bergman Richard N.
Published: July 2020

Insulin clearance has
recently been
highlighted as a fundamental aspect
of glucose metabolism, as
it has
been hypothesized
that its impairment could be related
to an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This review focuses on
methods used to calculate
insulin clearance: from
the
early surrogate indices employing C-peptide to
insulin molar ratio,
to direct measurement
methods used in animal models, to modeling-based techniques
to estimate the components of insulin
clearance (hepatic versus extra-hepatic).
The
methods are explored and interpreted
by critically
highlighting advantages
and
limitations.

This article aims to explain the objectives to be achieved by China related to the assistance give to the Philippines and the response that the Philippines should have done in responding. This paper used the literature study method with a descriptive approach. As for the findings of this paper, related to the theory of diplomacy and international lobbying, assistance provided by China to the Philippines is a tool used to achieve China's own interests and will have an influence on subsequent policy makers regarding maritime conflicts between China and the Philippines. Steps that needed to be taken by the Philippines are to maintain diplomatic relations with China, especially in the economic field because the Philippines economy is strongly supported by China and also strengthen its territorial defense and increase Philippine intelligence activities.
Biosztratigráfiai és gerinctelen őslénytani kutatások a kárpát-pannon térségben
Authors: Szente István , Főzy István , Magyar Imre
Published: July 2020

A Kárpát–Pannon-térség makroszkópikus méretű gerinctelen ősmaradványainak kutatása gazdag tudományos ismeretanyagot szolgáltatott az elmúlt mintegy másfél évszázadban. A legtöbbet tanulmányozott ősmaradványcsoport a puhatestűek voltak, a mezozoikumban leginkább az ammoniteszek, a kainozoikumban pedig a kagylók és a csigák. A legjobban megkutatott terület a Dunántúli-középhegység, azon belül pedig a Bakony, amely bizonyos korokban és ősmaradványcsoportokban világviszonylatban is kiemelkedő gazdagságú anyagot adott. A magyarországi őslénytani kutatást számos kiemelkedő egyéni teljesítmény: sokat forgatott és idézett monográfiák, rétegtani értelmezések, az adott terület geológiai fejlődését és az adott kor élővilágának fejlődését új megvilágításba helyező tanulmányok fémjelzik. Ezek mellett voltak olyan kutatócsoportok és többgenerációs tudományos iskolák, amelyek tartósan vagy ismétlődően kiemelkedően magas színvonalú, külföldön is elismert eredményeket produkáltak bizonyos kutatási területeken. Ilyen volt a Balaton-felvidéki triász kutatása, a dunántúli-középhegységi és mecseki jura kutatása, a Paratethys-tenger oligocénjének, azaz a kiscelli és egri emeletnek az őslénytani kutatása, és a késő miocén–pliocén Pannon-tó élővilágának és üledékeinek, azaz a pannóniai emeletnek a kutatása. Dolgozatunk a 150 éves fennállását ünneplő Földtani Közlöny ünnepi évfolyamában megjelenő cikkek sorához kapcsolódva, geológiai időrend szerint veszi leltárba – a teljesség igénye nélkül – a Kárpát–Pannon-térségben született legfontosabb gerinctelen őslénytani eredményeket – amelyeknek egy jelentős része éppen ebben a folyóiratban jelent meg.
Ércföldtan Magyarországon a Földtani Közlöny 150 évének tükrében
Authors: Földessy János , Molnár Ferenc , Biró Lóránt
Published: July 2020

Áttekintésünk a Földtani Közlöny megszületésének 150. évfordulójára készült. Célja, hogy a folyóiratban megjelent közleményekből felépítve adjon összegzést a hazai ércföldtan eredményeiről. Áttekintettük az összes, a Közlöny hasábjain megjelent közleményt, s ebből választottuk ki azokat, amelyek valamilyen szempontból jelentős súlyban hoztak napvilágra ércföldtani információt. Úgy változtattuk az áttekintésünk területi merítését, ahogy az ország határai változtak, a történelmi Magyarországra és a mai határainkon belül eső területekre. Az időszakot a politika és történelem diktálta szakaszokra tagoltuk, amelyek egyúttal az állam gazdasági struktúrájában, ezen belül ásványvagyon politikájában fellépő változásokat is tükrözték. A mai országhatáron kivűl eső területeken lévő lelőhelyek esetében a magyar név mellett a ma érvényes helységneveket is feltüntettük. Az információ bőség és a terjedelmi korlát kettős szorítása miatt egy-egy (mégolyan fontos) lelőhely említésére is csak 1-2 mondatot fordíthattunk. Az ábrák néhány legfontosabbnak ítélt telepegyüttes földtani térképe, szelvénye és teleptani modellje révén mutatták be az ismeretek bővülését és az értelmezés fejlődését. Néhány általunk legjelentősebbnek vélt olyan személy nevét is kiemeltük az egyes időszakokban, akik véleményünk szerint a legfontosabb alakítói voltak a mindenkori szakmai tudásunknak. Az összes válogatásunk szubjektiv volt, amit a ma aktív szakemberek három generációját képviselő társszerző csapat önellenörző képessége útján reméltünk kordában tartani.
Visszapillantás a transzmissziós elektronmikroszkópia (TEM) módszerek ásványtani és földtani alkalmazásának hazai történetére (1970–2020)
Authors: Dódony István
Published: July 2020

Az anyagvizsgálati eszközök és módszerek alkalmazása terén a TEM uralkodóvá vált a természettudományok orvosbiológiától meteoritikáig terjedő skáláján. Nincs egyetlen olyan módszer sem, amely nagyobb mértékben növelte volna ismereteink minőségét és mennyiségét az anyagok szerkezetéről, összetételéről, egymással való kapcsolatairól, elektromos és mágneses tulajdonságairól, mindezek változásáról a legnagyobb tér- és időbeli fölbontás mellett, mint a TEM. Az itt dokumentált történet az ásványtani TEM-vizsgálatok hazai eseményeinek összefoglalása.
