Heavy metals are potentially toxic to soil microorganims and are suggested to decrease soil enzymatic activities. Changes in activity of acid phosphatase in root-zones of some tropical plants treated with a lead-containing industrial waste were studied in a glasshouse experiment. Tropical soil sample (from Gedongmeneng and Banjaragung, Lampung) thoroughly treated with an electronics industrial waste at 0 to 40 ton ha·1 and lime at 0 or 5 ton CaC03 ha·1 were cultured with corn (Zea mays L.), amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor L), and green kyllinga (Cyperus kyllinga). Changes in acid phosphatase activity, soil Pb concentration, and soil pH were measured after a 4-week growing period. Soil analysis showed that the activity of acid phosphatase was higher in Banjaragung soil than that in Gedongmeneng soil except in those cultured with green kyllinga. The activity of acid· phosphatase was in general higher in the root-zone of corn than those in the root-zone of amaranth and green kyllinga.The activity of acid phosphatase in both soils decreased with waste addition regardless of plant grown. This was in a good correlation with the increase in soil available Pb as waste was added. However, the decrease in the activity of acid phosphate as the soil pH increased by lime or waste addition suggested that the decrease in the phosphatase activity with waste addition was driven by the increase in soil pH rather than by the increase in the soil available Pb With waste 3dclitton.

Talking about alcohol use: the attitudes of social work professionals and their clients
Authors: Renko Elina
Published: September 2019

Aims: Social work professionals play an important role in identifying and assessing alcohol-related problems. One method for obtaining necessary information for this assessment is to talk about the topic directly with the client. However, social work professionals often do not feel ready to work with alcohol-related problems. This paper explores social work professionals and their clients attitudes toward talking about alcohol use.Methods: The interviews with Finnish social work professionals (N = 14) and their clients (N = 14) were conducted and analyzed using a qualitative attitude approach. The interviewees commented on the statement: 'For me, talking about alcohol use is as easy as talking about other aspects of life'. The analysis focuses on how the professionals and their clients commented on this statement and whether the two parties did this in a same way. Results: Both professionals and their clients regard a discussion about alcohol use as a self-disclosure: an act of sharing personal information with another individual. The attitudes varied depending on whether self-disclosures were considered a threat to agency. The stances the interviewees took while commenting on the statement were connected to the expectations regarding consequences for agency; both the professionals and the clients invoked “the collective client” as the principal of their skeptical evaluations.Conclusions: This study put attitudes in their interactional context, and show how consequences for agency are shaped and crafted in the attitudes. The results highlight the importance of recognizing the potential agency-threatening aspects of talking about alcohol use, and can be used to develop social work practices for early identification of hazardous and harmful drinking.
SURROGATE MODEL OPTIMIZATION OF A ‘MICRO CORE’ PWR FUEL ASSEMBLY ARRANGEMENT USING DEEP LEARNING MODELS
Authors: Whyte Andy , Parks Geoff
Published: September 2019

This paper investigates the applicability of surrogate model optimization (SMO) usingdeep learning regression models to automatically embed knowledge about the objective function into the optimization process. This paper demonstrates two deep learning SMO methods for calculating simple neutronics parameters. Using these models, SMO returns results comparable with those from the early stages of direct iterative optimization. However, for this study, the cost of creating the training set outweighs the benefits of the surrogate models.

Polynomial Regression and Response Surface Methodology: Theoretical Non-Linearity, Tutorial and Applications for Information Systems Research
Authors: Sedera Darshana , Atapattu Maura
Published: September 2019

Information systems (IS) studies regularly assume linearity of the variables and often disregard the potential non-linear theoretical interrelationships among the variables. The application of polynomial regression and response surface methodology can observe such non-linear theoretical assumptions among variables. This methodology enables to examine the extent to which two predictor variables relate to an outcome variable simultaneously. This paper utilizes the expectation confirmation theory as an example and provides a methodological commentary that illustrates a step-wise process for conducting a polynomial regression and response surface methodology.
Le temps du changement dans les pratiques périnatales : les étapes d’une expérience locale
Authors: Lacourt-Mrozek M.-P.
Published: September 2019

Favoriser l’évolution des pratiques périnatales, vers un objectif de prévention précoce des troubles dans le développement de l’enfant, ce qui implique les disciplines somatiques, sociales, psychiatriques, fait désormais l’objet d’un consensus scientifique. Il reste à chaque terrain, en fonction du contexte professionnel et des dispositifs de soins, d’amorcer une dynamique collective, soumise à l’initiative d’acteurs de terrain sensibilisés. En effet, changer l’esprit d’un accompagnement périnatal coordonné ne s’impose pas de l’extérieur. Il s’agit ici de décrire une évolution sur sept années, à chaque étape, et dans ses impacts sur les organisations de soins. L’amélioration des collaborations interdisciplinaires, en vue de dégager une culture commune, est le fruit d’actions pédagogiques spécifiques, qui ont fait leurs preuves, et de rencontres interprofessionnelles favorisées en France par une politique de réseaux périnatals régionaux. La sensibilisation des acteurs de soin, la confiance nouée dès la grossesse avec les parents vulnérables, favorise la mise en place de soins précoces auprès du bébé. La création d’un dispositif de soins ambulatoires est le fruit de la réflexion collective.
Advantages and disadvantages of Raman spectroscopy in testing paper banknotes
Authors: Jauković Gordana
Published: September 2019

This paper presents advantages and disadvantages of Raman spectroscopy when used for testing banknotes, i.e. in case study I, 1 and 5 dinars banknotes from a private collection dating from 1876 of numismatic value were analyzed, and in case study II, 1000 dinars banknote from circulation together with its counterfeit. In both cases banknotes were analyzed by using Raman spectrometer DXR Raman microscope at the Faculty of Physical Chemistry, with a laser of wave-length 780 nm at 12 mW of power. Specters were recorded under microscope using 50X lens in a range 1800-60 cm-1. Analyses from case study I on both specimens showed spectrum characteristic for fluorescence appearance, therefore intensive signal of fluorescence covered Raman signal. In case study II, it was established that Raman spectroscopy can reliably detect a counterfeit banknote. Research, comparisons and analyses regarding original and counterfeit 1000 dinars note were performed on red banknote surfaces.
The use of cement concrete pavements for roads, depending on climatic conditions
Authors: Solonenko Iryna
Published: September 2019

The development of road network infrastructure is an important component of the economic development of the European Union. Updating of the road network contributes to the integration of the economies of countries into a coherent whole. The road network provides the free movement of citizens, the movement of goods and the effective implementation of various services. The increase in the length of the road network leads to an increase in the financial and material costs necessary to ensure its maintenance and repair. One of the ways to reduce costs is by strengthening the physic-mechanical and operational characteristics of the pavement due to the widespread use of cement concrete. The quality of the pavement of cement concrete depends largely on the rational selection of its composition. This allows a significant increase in the durability of road pavement. The purpose of the research was: the development of recommendations for the rational selection of the composition of the road pavement material of cement concrete, aimed at upgrading longevity, and taking into account its frost resistance grade. According to the goal, the following tasks were developed: the analyses of the climatic zones in which the road network of the European Union is located; the development of a research plan, a selection of the response function and influence factors; the study of physico-mechanical and operational characteristics of the researched material of road pavement; on the basis of the obtained data, the calculation of the complex of experimental-statistical models, which describe the physico-mechanical and operational characteristics of the road pavement material; on the basis of experimental statistical models, a method was proposed for selecting the rational compositions of the cement concrete pavement road material depending on the conditions of its application. The results presented in the article can be used in engineering and scientific practice for the selection of road pavement from cement concrete for highways.
Asymptotic analysis of an optimal boundary control problem for ill-posed elliptic equation in domains with rugous boundary
Authors: De Maio Umberto , Kogut Peter I. , Manzo Rosanna
Published: September 2019

We study an optimal control problem for the mixed Dirichlet–Neumann boundary value problem for the strongly non-linear elliptic equation with exponential nonlinearity in a domain with rugous boundary. A density of surface traction u acting on a part of rugous boundary is taken as a control. The optimal control problem is to minimize the discrepancy between a given distribution and the current system state. We deal with such case of nonlinearity when we cannot expect to have a solution of the state equation for a given control. After having defined a suitable class of the weak solutions, we provide asymptotic analysis of the above mentioned optimal control problem posed in a family of perturbed domains and give the characterization of the limiting behavior of its optimal solutions.
Asymptotic analysis for elliptic equations with small perturbations on domains in high-contrast medium
Authors: Chen Jingrun , Lin Ling , Zhang Zhiwen , Zhou Xiang
Published: September 2019

We provide a comprehensive study on the asymptotic solutions of an interface problem corresponding to an elliptic partial differential equation with Dirichlet boundary condition and transmission condition, subject to the small geometric perturbation and/or the high contrast ratio of the conductivity. All asymptotic terms can be solved in the unperturbed reference domains, which significantly reduces computations in practice, especially for random perturbations. Our setting is quite general and allows two types of elliptic problems: the perturbation of the domain boundary where the Dirchlet condition is imposed and the perturbation of the interface where the transmission condition is imposed. As the perturbation size and the ratio of the conductivities tends to zero, the two-parameter asymptotic expansions on the reference domain are derived to any order after the single parameter expansions are solved beforehand. The results suggest the emergence of the Neumann or Robin boundary condition, depending on the relation of the two asymptotic parameters. Our method is the classic asymptotic analysis techniques but in a new unified approach to both problems.

Critical discussion on the thermal behavior of sulfated cellulose nanocrystals
Authors: CHAUVE GREGORY , MAURAN DAMIEN , FRASCHINI CAROLE , BOUCHARD JEAN
Published: September 2019

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have evolved from a laboratory curiosity to an industrial material manufactured at a scale of up to 1 ton/day. In order to maximize their use in various applications such as composites, it is critical to evaluate the influence of the surface chemistry on their thermal stability. The effect of temperature on native CNCs is heavily damaging to the material integrity, but the early stage temperature-catalyzed degradation process can be prevented by neutralization of the surface sulfate half-ester groups, either by organic or inorganic counterions. In addition, we studied the influence of the hydrolysis conditions on the CNCs’ resistance to elevated temperatures. The observations were carried out by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Finally, complementary work regarding color formation when CNCs are exposed to heat is presented.
Polyvinyl alcohol as foaming agent in foam formed paper
Authors: GOTTBERG JENS-MIKAEL , LAPPALAINEN TIMO , SALMINEN KRISTIAN
Published: September 2019

The use of polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH or PVA) as a foaming agent in foam formed paper was investigated. Polyvinyl alcohol is a linear, nonionic water-soluble polymer. It has hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts that give it a surface-active character. PVOH is mainly characterized by degree of hydrolysis and molar mass. Degree of hydrolysis is given as mol-% hydroxyl groups on the polymer. Molar mass is measured indirectly by measuring the viscosity of a 4% PVOH solution. The results show that the degree of hydrolysis of PVOH had a strong effect on the foamability of PVOH. Foamability decreased strongly when the degree of hydrolysis increased from 88 to 98 mol-%. The effect of molar mass on foamability was weaker. We saw an increase in foam stability and bubble size with increasing molar mass, but we did not see any effect on maximum air content. PVOH dosage needed to reach >70% air content (Φ) varied from 2 g/l up to 10.5 g/l, and the lowest addition levels of PVOH needed were achieved with a low molar mass PVOH with a low degree of hydrolysis. The best strength properties were achieved when using fully hydrolyzed PVOH as the foaming agent. Strength properties (both in- and out-of-plane) of samples made using PVOH were better than those made using an anionic foaming agent (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS). By adding PVOH binder fibers to the pulp, we were able to further enhance the strength properties of paper and board.

Authors: Pham Ngoc Tram Anh , Nguyen Tien Dung , Huynh Uyen Tram , Pham Ngoc Thuy
Published: September 2019

Frontline employees’ adaptive behavior is essential to an interactive and customized service like health care because it contributes significantly to customer satisfaction and loyalty. However, less is known about what factors drive employees to perform adaptive behavior. This research aims to investigate the antecedents and consequences of adaptive behavior (including interpersonal and service offering adaptive behaviors) of frontline employees in the health care service. Based on the data of 418 cases of physicians working at public and private hospitals and clinics, the analysis reveals that interpersonal adaptive behavior is positively affected by employee’s work enjoyment, competence, and autonomy, while service offering adaptive behavior is positively influenced by work enjoyment and competence. In addition, both types of adaptive behavior of frontline employees have significant effects on employee’s service performance. The findings provide benefits to hospital managers. Since work enjoyment, competence, and autonomy positively affect physicians’ adaptive behavior, which then leads to better performance, adequate training on professional knowledge and interpersonal skills for health care practitioners as well as appropriate empowerment practices are highly recommended.

IgA vasculitis, formerly known as Henoch-Schönlein purpura, is a systemic IgA-mediated vasculitis of the small vessels commonly seen in children. The natural history of IgA vasculitis is generally self-limiting; however, one-third of patients experience symptom recurrence and a refractory course. This systematic review examined the use of dapsone in refractory IgA vasculitis cases. A literature search of PubMed databases retrieved 13 articles published until June 14, 2018. The most common clinical feature was a palpable rash (100% of patients), followed by joint pain (69.2%). Treatment response within 1–2 days was observed in 6 of 26 patients (23.1%) versus within 3–7 days in 17 patients (65.4%). Relapse after treatment discontinuation was reported in 17 patients (65.4%) but not in 3 patients (11.5 %). Four of the 26 patients (15.4%) reported adverse effects of dapsone including arthralgia (7.7%), rash (7.7%), and dapsone hypersensitivity syndrome (3.8%). Our findings suggest that dapsone may affect refractory IgA vasculitis. Multicenter randomized placebo-controlled trials are necessary to determine the standard dosage of dapsone at initial or tapering of treatment in IgA vasculitis patients and evaluate whether dapsone has a significant benefit versus steroids or other medications.
The Sympoiesis of Superheroes
Authors: Israelson Per
Published: September 2019

Through the neocybernetic concept sympoiesis, the comic book Black Orchid can be understood as a media ecology, where the feedback between the reader and the material environment of the comic book emerges as a distributed cognition. I will argue that the reader of the comic book participates in the production of aesthetic experience, and, more importantly, that this participation is not only a question of joining in on the hermeneutic circle, where the reader interprets the comic book and creates a storyworld. From a media-ecological perspective, aesthetic participation is also material and embodied; it is a question of participating in the emergence of an environment. In such a reading, Black Orchid tangibly stages an act of becoming, an event of ontogenesis.

Published: September 2019

Investigating pulse in different parts of the body is of great interest to doctors. The purpose is the development of metrological maintenance, calibration and certification of photometric instruments [1—3]. Photoplethysmograph is designed to record changes in optical density of a person’s body area with a beam of light reflected in the light [4—6]. Measurements are carried out non-invasively [7]. Such device registers pulse wave (PW) signals and reference ECG with computer processing, Fig. 1—2 [8—10]. A working measure (LED) was created and calibrated using an optical radiation power meter based on the substitution method [11], test bench is at Fig. 3, calibration results — in Table 1 and Fig. 4. Test bench for device calibration and an optical radiator are at Fig. 5—6, view of calibrated signal — at Fig. 7. As a result of calibration (Table 2) the dependence of the output signal on LED power supply (Fig. 8) is obtained, and the calibration dependence is shown at Fig. 9. In the test bench for SMC used standardized light filters KNS-01 at a wavelength of 630 nm (Fig. 10a). The calibration curve is calculated as the dependence of the relative coefficient of inverse light dispersion (RCILD) on PW (Fig. 10b, Table 3). The view of output signal is at Fig. 11.
As a result of SMC, the limits of permissible absolute error of 2 % in the range of RCILD (15—100) % are defined.

Examining variation in the expression of tense/aspect to classify the Kikongo Language Cluster
Authors: Dom Sebastian , Bostoen Koen A. G.
Published: September 2019

In this article we examine variation in the expression of tense and aspect (TA) in 23 modern and two historical Bantu language varieties belonging to Guthrie’s B40, H10 and H30 groups in order to shed light on the internal classification of the Kikongo Language Cluster (KLC). We apply the Comparative Method to this specific set of morphological data to test a recent phylogenetic classification of the KLC. We identify eight widespread TA markers as shared retentions dating back to the period before the internal fragmentation of the KLC. Six of these are inherited from Proto-Bantu. Two other markers go back to Proto-Kikongoid and Proto-Kikongo. They confirm that the KLC constitutes a discrete clade within West-Coastal Bantu. We furthermore distinguish fourteen shared innovations that took place after the break-up of the last common ancestor of the KLC. These innovations provide corroborating evidence for three phylogenetic subgroups within the KLC, namely East, South and West, and for the fact that the latter subgroup falls apart in two discrete genealogical subunits. They furthermore testify to the horizontal transmission of TA features between subgroups. Such language convergence often correlates with relatively recent historical developments within the Lower Congo region and contributed to the multilayered constitution of the KLC.

Published: September 2019

The processes of structuring in cast iron of different chemical composition in the range of cooling rates of 0.5 ... 5.5 deg / s, which take place in the roll casting mould, are investigated. Scientifically based theoretical and experimental results were obtained, the set of which allowed to develop highly effective technologies of casting of rolling rolls from cast iron with vermicular graphite with increased operational characteristics. Optimum content of rare earth metal (REM) in roller cast iron with vermicular graphite at different cooling rates was experimentally established. In the low sulfur (up to 0,03%) cast iron, the rare earth metal residual (REMres) content is -0,065 ... 0,176 (for a cooling rate of 0,5 deg / s) and 0,01 ... 0,156% (for a cooling rate of 5,5 deg / s) . In the cast iron with high sulfur content (up to 0.10%), at the cooling rates studied, the intervals of concentrations of REMres have been experimentally established to provide the vermicular inclusions of graphite: at a cooling rate of 5.5 deg / c - 0.081-0.129%, and at a speed of 0.5 deg / s - 0.161 ... 0.190%. When modifying melts with a complex modifier based on magnesium KMg9, the Mg content at cooling rates of 5.5 and 0.5 deg / s should be within 0.022 ... 0.03 and 0.019 ... 0.03%, respectively, when treated with the complex KMg9 and FS30RZM30 in the cast iron it is necessary to have 0,0071 ... 0,015% Mg and 0,023 ... 0,025% REMres. With such content of modifiers, the best combinations of microstructure and physical and mechanical properties of castings are obtained. The areas of formation of vermicular graphite inclusions in roll cast irons were determined when processed with a complex modifier based on rare-earth metals and ferrotitanium: at a cooling rate of 5.5 degrees / s and a titanium content of 0.40 ... 0.42%, the concentration range of the rare-earth bridge for stable production of graphite inclusions of vermicular form has expanded and was 0.061 ... 0.169%, and at a cooling rate of 0.5 deg / s –0.129 ... 0.230%.
The technological process of casting of bleached roller rolls has been improved due to the application of a highly effective complex modifier (ligature) of optimal composition for the modification of the base metal. The technology for the production of pig iron with vermicular graphite is developed and mastered at casting of rollers with the use of mixtures for modification consisting of two ligatures in the ratio of 1: 3.

At modern metallurgical plants, blowing of steel with process gases is an obligatory component of the production cycle. In this case, it is most difficult to organize the supply of stirring gas through the bottom of a metallurgical unit. In the practice of metallurgical production, blowing units of various designs (slotted, channel and with non-directional porosity) are used to inject process gases under such a scheme. Considering that the influence of the design of the bubbler of the bottom blowing unit on the efficiency of mass transfer in a metal bath has not been studied, the aim of this study was to determine the influence of the design of the blowing unit on the efficiency of homogenization of the metal melt. To achieve this goal, the method of physical water modelling was used, based on a modified π-theorem. In order to obtain adequate results, similarity numbers (homochromicity number, dimensionless volume flow number, linear simplex and density simplex) were defined to describe the process of fluid homogenization, and an experimental installation was built that allows video recording of experiments with high image quality. According to the simulation results, photographs were obtained illustrating the dynamics of changes in the level of liquid homogenization over time (assessed by the indicator redistribution rate in the bath volume) for blowing units of various designs and different gas flow rates. The scientific novelty of the conducted research is the determination of similarity criteria describing the process of homogenization of a metal melt when blowing with an inert gas. The practical significance lies in the proposed innovative design of the blowing unit, for which rational design parameters and necessary and sufficient for rapid homogenization parameters of the blowing were defined.

Se tuvo por objetivo determinar la relación de los tipos de clima organizacional en el desempeño laboral de las instituciones públicas gubernamentales. Con un tipo de investigación es correlacional, se fundamentó en un diseño no experimental, transeccional, la población estuvo constituida por un conjunto de 112 sujetos de investigación, que ocupan el cargo de personal administrativo en instituciones públicas gubernamentales de la ciudad de Manta, durante el primer semestre del año 2019. Los climas organizacionales predominantes son el autoritario – explotador y el participativo – en grupo, lo cual evidencia que los empleados actúan favorablemente cuando se generan este tipo de clima, favoreciéndose en mayor significancia cuando se emplea el participativo de grupo, por cuanto permite que puedan generar aportes que son tenidos en cuenta para el cumplimiento de metas institucionales.

RESUMO: Este estudo objetiva analisar uma proposta de Currículo Integrado em um contexto de ensino e aprendizagem com vistas à ampliação da formação histórico-cultural dos alunos. Entende-se que a escola e o currículo podem ser instrumentos de controle social e a composição deste currículo, com elementos da cultura próxima ao aluno, mediada pela literatura e teatro é uma ação que favorece o processo de humanização, socialização e formação de sujeitos autônomos. Os conhecimentos de diferentes componentes curriculares dão suporte para resolver problemas concretos e complexos que exigem compreender fenômenos sob diferentes olhares. Nesse contexto, intensificou-se o contato com textos literários que abordam problemáticas locais, numa relação com o universal. Propiciou-se a apreciação da arte do teatro reconhecendo tais linguagens como mediadoras do conhecimento da história local. Compõem o corpus dessa pesquisa alunos dos 3º e 4º anos do curso Técnico em Agropecuária do Instituto Federal de Ciência Educação e Tecnologia Farroupilha do Campus Santo Augusto. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de caráter qualitativo. Foram propostas questões sobre aspectos histórico-sociais do espaço rural da região para que os alunos argumentassem a respeito. Fez-se a análise discursiva dessas escritas, com base em Morais & Galliazzi (2012). Os grupos leram, analisaram e discutiram obras da literatura rio-grandense, assistiram ao espetáculo teatral “Quem faz gemer a terra” e foram provocados a escrever e debater a respeito. Retomaram-se, então, as questões propostas no início da pesquisa, a fim de analisar se os sujeitos reconstruíram as visões sobre os aspectos histórico-culturais locais.Evidencia-se que os alunos se apropriaram de informações, repensaram questões culturais e ampliaram de forma considerável as competências em leitura e escrita.
