Bus Passenger Demand Modelling Using Time-Series Techniques- Big Data Analytics
Authors: Cyril Anila , Mulangi Raviraj H. , George Varghese
Published: June 2019

Background:

Public transport demand forecasting is the fundamental process of transport planning activity. It plays a pivotal role in the decision making, policy formulations and urban transport planning procedures. In this paper, public bus passenger demand forecasting model is developed using a novel approach. The empirical passenger demand for a bus depot is modelled and forecasted using a data-driven method. The big data generated by Electronic Ticketing Machines (ETM) used for issuing tickets and collecting fares is sourced as the data for demand modelling. This big data is time indexed and hence has the potential for use in time-series applications which were not previously explored.

Objectives:

This paper studies the application of time-series method for forecasting public bus passenger demand using ETM based time-series data. The time-series approach used is the four Holt-Winters’ modeling methods. Holt-Winters’ additive and multiplicative models with and without damping have been empirically compared in this study using the data from the inter-zonal buses. The data used in the study is a part of the transaction on ticket sales by Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) maintained at the Trivandrum City depot of an Indian state Kerala, for the period between 2010 and 2013. The forecasting performance of four time-series models is compared using Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) and the model goodness of fit is determined using information criteria.

Conclusion:

The forecasts indicate that multiplicative models with and without damping, which better account for seasonal variations, outperform the additive models.

Published: June 2019

Background:

The life expectancy of people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has dramatically improved with the much-increased access to antiretroviral therapy. Consequently, a larger number of people living with HIV are living longer and facing the increased burden of non-communicable diseases. This study assessed the effect of chronic non-communicable disease(s) and co-morbidities on the immunologic restoration of HIV infected patients on highly active antiretroviral therapy.

Methods:

A nested case-control study was conducted among people living with HIV at Jimma University Medical Center from February 20 to August 20, 2016. Cases were HIV infected patients living with chronic non-communicable diseases and controls were people living with HIV only. Patient-specific data were collected using a structured data collection tool to identify relevant information. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science version 20.0. Logistic regressions were used to identify factors associated with outcome. Statistical significance was considered at p-value <0.05. A patient's written informed consent was obtained after explaining the purpose of the study.

Results:

A total of 240 participants (120 cases and 120 controls) were included in the analysis. Prevalence of hypertension was 12.50%, and diabetes was 10.84%. About 10.42% of study participants were living with multi-morbidity. At baseline, the mean (±SD) age of cases was 42.32±10.69 years, whereas it was 38.41±8.23 years among controls. The median baseline CD4+ cell count was 184.50 cells/µL (IQR: 98.50 - 284.00 cells/µL) for cases and 177.0 cells/µL (IQR: 103.75 - 257.25 cells/µL) for controls. Post-6-months of highly active antiretroviral therapy initiation, about 29.17% of cases and 16.67% of controls had poor immunologic restoration. An average increase of CD4+ cell count was 6.4cells/µL per month among cases and 7.6 cells/µL per month among controls. Male sex [AOR, 3.51; 95% CI, 1.496 to 8.24; p=0.004], smoking history [AOR, 2.81; 95% CI, 1.072, to 7.342; p=0.036] and co-morbidity with chronic non-communicable disease(s) [AOR, 3.99; 95% CI, 1.604 to 9.916; p=0.003)] were independent predictors of poor immunologic restoration.

Conclusions:

Chronic non-communicable disease(s) have negative effects on the kinetics of CD4+ cell count among HIV-infected patients who initiated antiretroviral therapy. So the integration of chronic non-communicable disease-HIV collaborative activities will strengthen battle to control the double burden of chronic illnesses.
Hemolysis, Platelet Aggregation and Antibacterial Activities of Human Antiphospholipid Antibody
Authors: Shapoorabadi Farzaneh Ahmadi , Firoozabad Maryam Sadat Mirbagheri , Habibi Neda , Emtiazi Giti
Published: June 2019

Background:

Anti-phospholipid antibodies have the potential to become an alternative to conventional
antibiotics for humans. The Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease where
the body’s defense system incorrectly reacts against its own phospholipids. APS is distinct through the existence
of venous and arterial thromboses, frequently multiple and recurring fetal losses, commonly accompanied
by moderate thrombocytopenia. Anti-phospholipid antibodies include lupus anti-coagulant, anti-
cardiolipin, anti-beta 2 glycoprotein 1, and anti-prothrombin antibodies.

Methods:

In this study, the mechanism of action of Anti-phospholipid antibodies against Klebsiella pneumonia
and Staphylococcus aureus was investigated in great detail using a unique combination of imaging
and biophysical techniques. Antibacterial activity of antiphospholipid antibodies was detected by a diffusion
method and the investigation of the complexity of antibody-antigen was done by spectroscopic examination,
scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging.

Results:

There was a profound change in the bacteria treated with healthy and patient serum in the optical
microscopic study. In all of the studied fields, bacterial treatment with patient serum immediately induced
bacterial swelling and cumulative accumulation of the bacteria while no changes were observed in the
healthy serum. Anti-bacterial activities of patient serum were detected on the plate. The result of this study
showed that after platelet activation by thrombin and incubation with antiphospholipid antibodies, the
platelet was aggregated. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image showed that the cell wall of
Klebsiella pneumonia and Staphylococcus aureus incubated with antiphospholipid had a bizarre shape and
antiphospholipid antibodies bound to bacterial membranes.

Conclusion:

The data indicated that antiphospholipid antibodies with hemolysis activities have an effect on
Gram-positive and negative bacteria and these antibodies have the potential to become antibiotic for human.

Pedal-Assist Mountain Bikes: A Pilot Study Comparison of the Exercise Response, Perceptions, and Beliefs of Experienced Mountain Bikers
Authors: Hall Cougar , Hoj Taylor H , Julian Clark , Wright Geoff , Chaney Robert A , Crookston Benjamin , West Joshua
Published: June 2019

Background

Mountain biking is an aerobic physical activity that has experienced rapid growth. The emergence of the electric pedal-assist mountain bike (eMTB), while not without its critics, presents the potential for an even larger segment of the population to enjoy the health benefits of mountain biking. Although the research focused on the use of e-bikes generally is growing, there is limited research specifically targeting eMTB use. Research is needed exploring the potential exercise response of riding an eMTB, together with the beliefs and perceptions of mountain bikers who have and have not experienced eMTB riding.

Objective

This study aimed to compare conventional mountain bike and eMTB use. This was done by investigating 2 questions: (1) What proportion of exercise response is retained for an experienced mountain biker while using an eMTB when compared with a conventional mountain bike? and (2) What are the perceptions and beliefs of experienced mountain bikers toward eMTBs both before and after riding an eMTB?

Methods

A convergent mixed methods data collection approach was used in the study. Participants completed both a pre- and postride questionnaire, and data regarding heart rate were collected. Heart rates from each ride were compared against each other.

Results

The average heart rate during eMTB use was 94% (31/33) of the average heart rate during conventional mountain bike use. Therefore, eMTB use in this study achieved a majority of the exercise response and exceeded established biometric thresholds for cardiovascular fitness. Paired t test statistics were calculated to compare beliefs of conventional mountain bikes and eMTBs and to compare mean heart rate and speed between conventional mountain bike and eMTB use on the study loop. Participants overwhelmingly perceived the potential impact of eMTB use to be positive on both pre- and post-eMTB ride questionnaires.

Conclusions

Despite the measured benefit, participants’ perceived exertion while riding the eMTB was low.

Foundations as organisational science policy interfaces? An analysis of the references to foundations made during parliamentary debates in the German federal parliament
Authors: Oehmer Franziska , Jarren Otfried
Published: June 2019

Complex political decisions increasingly require scientific knowledge and expertise. But the exchange between actors from the political and the scientific systems is confronted by challenges. Science policy interfaces are needed in order to overcome the barriers to communication. This article analyses and discusses the importance of foundations as science policy interfaces. To this end, we will first present the salient features and functions of foundations as organisations in the framework of theoretical considerations and discuss their fundamental suitability as mediators of scientific knowledge in the political process. We will then identify the significance of foundations as science policy interfaces using a quantitative content analysis of references to foundations in the debates of the 18th German Bundestag.

An analysis of the impacts of macroeconomic fluctuations on China’s stock market
Authors: Lingnan Lin
Published: June 2019

Research of influence of macroeconomic fluctuations on stock markets suggests different kinds of relationship between them. This paper aims to analyze the relationship between Shanghai Composite Index and China’s macroeconomic indexes applying cointegration method and different metrics of money supply: M1 and M2. The time period of data in this paper spans from Quarter 1, 1995 to Quarter 4, 2018. The Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) constituted suggests that: 1) there is a long-run equilibrium between these variables; 2) in the long run, despite of different measures of money supply, real GDP is negatively correlated with SCI, implicating a deviation of a stock market from real economy; 3) in the short run, no matter what measure of money supply we use, real GDP seems to have no significant effect on SCI, which again verifies the deviation of the stock market from real economy. The impulse response analysis suggests the totally opposite direction of effect that money supply and interest rate have on SCI in different specifications, and the forecast-error decomposition analysis indicates that SCI cannot fully reflect macroeconomic fluctuations once again.

Published: June 2019

In order to evaluate the accuracy of the local geodetic network of Jurmala City, in research, comparison of forty-seven selected polygonometry network point coordinates with the obtained data was made by performing measurements by real time cinematic (RTK) method in LatPos base station system. Points were chosen so in order to cover evenly the entire territory of the city. At present, gradual renewal and improvement of the local geodetic network takes place in Jurmala. The linear discrepancy of coordinates obtained in measurements varies from 0.016 m to 0.259 m, mean linear discrepancy in the measured points is fixed 0.110 m. Discrepancy of plane coordinates in different regions of Jurmala is not even. It is rather even within approximate boundaries of the determined regions, this is indicated by different directions of offset vectors, which in eastern part of the city are pointed mainly in NW direction, in central part directions are pointed in W direction, but in the western part of the city pointed in NE direction. Concerning heights, only for 3 of measured points discrepancy exceeds 0.05 m error and there are no connection concerning some specific region. 15% of the measured points of the local geodetic network are with appropriate accuracy of plane coordinates. The linear discrepancy of plane coordinates for points of the local geodetic network, which are measured by RTK method and compared with data from the improved network is 0.024 (m), which indicates the high accuracy of RTK method in measurement data. In Jurmala City, obtaining of data by GNNS data receivers is encumbered by large density of trees. Therefore the local geodetic network in city has very important role in order to ensure performance of geodetic measurements of high quality in the territory of the city. Aim of the research is to evaluate the accuracy of the local geodetic network of Jurmala City. The following tasks have been set for achieving the aim: research of the given problem, visit of the local geodetic network points, performing control measurements, data processing and analysis.

Published: June 2019

OBJECTIVE

Depression (major depressive disorder [MDD]) in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with worsened diabetes complications, increased health care costs, and early mortality. Program ACTIVE II was a randomized, controlled, multicenter treatment trial designed to test the comparative effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and/or community-based exercise (EXER) on diabetes and depression outcomes compared with usual care (UC).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Using a 2 × 2 factorial randomized controlled trial design, adults with T2DM for ≥1 year who met DSM-IV-TR criteria for MDD were randomized to CBT (10 sessions occurring over 12 weeks; N = 36), EXER (12 weeks of community-based exercise including six sessions with a personal trainer; N = 34), CBT+EXER (concurrent over a 12-week period; N = 34), and UC (N = 36). Primary outcomes were depression remission rate (assessed by psychiatric interviewers blind to assignment) and change in glycemic control (HbA1c).

RESULTS

The mean age was 56.0 years (SD 10.7). Participants were female (77%), white (71%), and married (52%). After controlling for education and antidepressant use, odds of achieving full MDD remission in the intervention groups were 5.0–6.8 times greater than UC (P < 0.0167). The CBT+EXER group demonstrated improved HbA1c compared with UC. For participants with a baseline HbA1c ≥7.0%, exploratory post hoc subgroup analysis showed that the CBT+EXER group had a 1.1% improvement in HbA1c (P < 0.0001) after controlling for covariates.

CONCLUSIONS

The Program ACTIVE behavioral treatment interventions demonstrated clinically meaningful improvements in depression outcomes in adults with T2DM and MDD. These community-based interventions are complementary to medical care and extend access to those in rural and urban areas.

OBJECTIVE

This study assessed longitudinal change in depression symptoms over ≥4 years in adults with type 1 diabetes and examined the association between change in depression symptom status and glycemia.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Adults in the T1D Exchange registry with HbA1c and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-8) at 1 year (baseline) and 5 years post-enrollment (follow-up; n = 2,744, mean age, 42 years; 57% female, 92% white; mean HbA1c, 7.6% [58 mmol/mol]) were included. Depression status was defined as Persistent Elevated Depression Symptoms (EDS) (EDS at baseline and follow-up), Resolved EDS (EDS at baseline, no EDS at follow-up), New Onset EDS (no EDS at baseline, EDS at follow-up), and Not Depressed (no EDS at baseline or follow-up).

RESULTS

Overall, 131 (5%) had Persistent EDS, 122 (4%) had Resolved EDS, 168 (6%) had New Onset EDS, and 2,323 (85%) were Not Depressed. Of those with EDS (PHQ ≥ 10) at baseline, 53% had EDS at follow-up; of those not depressed at baseline, 7% had EDS at follow-up. An increase in PHQ-8 was associated with an increase in HbA1c (P < 0.001). Although HbA1c increased in all groups, the increase was less in the Resolved EDS and Not Depressed groups (P = 0.001). Persistent EDS and New Onset EDS groups were more likely to experience diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) (P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

T1D Exchange registry data provide evidence for relationships over time between persistently, and newly developing EDSs and worsening glycemic control, and suggest relationships between depression symptoms and the occurrence of severe hypoglycemia and DKA. Successful treatment of depression symptoms may lead to better long-term diabetes outcomes.

Authors: Muhammad Iram Faqir , Borné Yan , Bao Xue , Melander Olle , Orho-Melander Marju , Nilsson Peter M. , Nilsson Jan , Engström Gunnar
Published: June 2019

OBJECTIVE

HER2/ErbB2 is a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor family. It is widely used as a tumor marker, but it also has recently been associated with insulin resistance. Both ErbB2 and diabetes have been associated with cancer; however, the relationship between ErbB2 and diabetes has not been well explored. The aim of this population-based cohort study was to assess the association between plasma ErbB2 and incidence of diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

The study population included participants from the Malmö Diet and Cancer–Cardiovascular Cohort (age range 46–68 years). After excluding participants with a history of diabetes and those missing data for ErbB2 and other covariates, the final study population consisted of 4,220 individuals. Incidence of diabetes was followed through linkages to local and national registers. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to assess the incidence of diabetes in relation to quartiles of ErbB2, adjusted for potential confounders.

RESULTS

Plasma ErbB2 was significantly and positively associated with glucose, insulin, and HbA1c after being adjusted for potential confounding factors. During a mean ± SD follow-up period of 20.20 ± 5.90 years, 615 participants (14.6%) were diagnosed with new-onset diabetes. Individuals with high levels of ErbB2 had a significantly higher risk of diabetes than those with low levels of ErbB2. The multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio was 1.31 (95% CI 1.03–1.66; P < 0.05) for the highest versus the lowest quartile of ErbB2 and was 1.15 (95% CI 1.05–1.25; P < 0.05) per 1-SD increase in ErbB2.

CONCLUSIONS

Elevated levels of ErbB2 are associated with increased incidence of diabetes.

Esta pesquisa de caráter qualitativo se propôs a conhecer os aspectos simbólicos presentes nos “personagens” metaforizados por alunos de graduação ao analisarem seu curso e os outros existentes na Ifes estudada. Como referencial teórico, têm-se as relações entre significado representacional e o discurso como uma prática social (Fairclough, 1992). Os alunos foram convidados a pensar em uma metáfora. Essas metáforas foram interpretadas a partir da abordagem teórica-metodológica da análise de discurso crítica. Como resultados, observou-se sete significados representacionais. A relevância teórica desta pesquisa reside em compreender que cada personagem metaforizado pode representar percepções e estereótipos de poder sobre os cursos e profissões dentro de uma organização.

In Indonesia, the ideal age for marriage and the number of ideal children has become an issue in family development program. This study aims to analyze the mother's perceptions of the marriage age of women and the expected number of children among families with preschool children in Indonesia and its relation to the practice of parenting. The study used secondary data from the Survey of Population, Family Planning and Family Development Program Performance, National Medium Term Development Plan Year 2017. Respondents of this study were mothers who had preschool children that were 17,886 people. The results showed that good parenting was in line with maternal characteristics such as the status of working mothers, increasingly mother's age, higher maternal education, and the number of preschoolers in the family. This study also showed that there is a relationship between parenting practices and the mother's attitude on the age marriage of women and the expected number of children. These findings indicate that maternal assessment of the age of marriage of women and the expected number of children could predict parenting practices carried out by the family. Therefore, the program to increase parenting capacity needs to consider the mother's beliefs about the age of marriage and the number of children as factors that will influence the parenting practices of the family.

This study aims are to analyze the influence of information access, knowledge, perception of contraception for birth control risk, and husband's support on unmet need group’s interest in using contraception. This research used a cross-sectional study design and survey method. The research was conducted in Bogor City, Indonesia with 200 respondents (wives). Data was collected through face-to-face interview. Data were analyzed descriptively and inferred using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The respondents were selected purposively. Based on research’s result, the wife’s knowledge regarding contraception using was in the medium category. However, knowledge about contraception devices was still in the low category. In this research, wives perceive that family planning has little risk for health and non-health. Husband’s support was categorized as good and the husbands allowed their wife to use contraception but did not get involved in the decision-making. The respondents had reasonably good interest in contraception using by considering 6 to 10 respondents prefer not to use contraception. Research result showed the accepted hypothesis are access to information influences knowledge (H1), perceived risk influences interest (H5), access to information does not influences risk perception (H2), knowledge does not influence risk perception (H3), knowledge has no effect on interest (H4), so does husband's support (H6).

This study aims to analyze the influence of socialization from peers, family / parents, schools, and television advertisements on the attitude and behavior of brushing teeth. The study was conducted in two groups of fifth grade elementary school students in South Tangerang who had been exposed and who had not been exposed to a healthy school program selected using multistage sampling. The total number of respondents was 240 students from four different schools with each group consisting of 120 students from two schools selected using the quota sampling approach. Data was collected by self-reporting techniques and analyzed using descriptive analysis, different tests, and Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results showed a significant difference between the two groups of students on socialization variables from peers, family/parents, socialization of TV ads, attitudes, and brushing behavior. The results showed that in the group of students exposed to healthy school programs, attitudes were influenced by variables of socialization from family/parents and TV ads socialization. Attitudes didn’t have a significant effect on toothbrushing behavior. Child’s toothbrushing behavior was significantly influenced by socialization from school. Meanwhile, toothbrushing behavior in groups of students who had not been exposed to a healthy school program was influenced by the TV advertisements socialization.

Most farmers and fishermen in Indonesia have limitations in meeting economic, social, and other standard needs. This limitation shows the low level of family well-being. This study aims to analyze the characteristics of fishermen and onion farm laborers, women's economic contributions, economic pressures and family well-being. The location of the study was carried out at two locations, in Kali Adem Muara Angke and Losari Lor Village, with a participants of 130 respondents (60 fisherman's wives and 70 wives onion farm workers). The data collected in this study are primary data (interview method). Data processing and analysis are carried out descriptively and inferently (t-test and regression). The results showed that the economic contribution made by the fishermen's family was greater than that of the onion farmer family. The families of fishermen and onion farm workers in this study both in the sea / harvest season and in the season do not go to sea / famine included in the category of moderate economic pressure. Family well-being experienced by the families of fishermen and workers' families both in the sea / harvest season and in the season does not go to sea / famine including the medium category. The effect test shows that the variable number of family members and income per capita have a significant positive influence on family well-being. In addition, economic pressure variable has a significant negative influence on family well-being.

En el presente artículo se intenta, por primera vez en la lengua española, llevar a cabo un estudio exhaustivo de los japonesismos religioso-filosóficos, atendiendo a parámetros lingüísticos diferentes (formal, semántico e histórico), además de indicar su grado de adaptación al inventario léxico del español.
El apellido Moreno y la burla de los linajes
Authors: Moreno Hernández Carlos
Published: June 2019

El artículo hace primero algunas consideraciones en torno al apellido Moreno y su adscripción a diversos personajes en un sentido, o estilo, jocoserio en el Quijote y en Quevedo, en relación con la llamada “burla de los linajes”, la etimología del apellido y la compraventa de títulos y honores. Todo ello es ampliado luego a los personajes de Galdós con ese mismo apellido en Fortunata y Jacinta (1886-1887) y en Misericordia (1897), justificando la presencia y pertinencia en estas obras de ese mismo tipo de burla en otro contexto.

Con antelación al 2017, Karla Xiomara Luna Mariscal había demostrado su interés por los motivos y la literatura caballeresca en su utilísimo Índice de motivos de las Historias caballerescas breves (2013, 1092 pp.), fruto de su tesis doctoral (2009), tarea anticipada también de forma parcial en varios artículos. Ahora prosigue su buen hacer y fructífera labor aplicando idénticos presupuestos a los dos Baladros merlinianos impresos (1498 y 1535), investigación surgida con el propósito de insertarla en un conjunto más amplio y ambicioso: un índice de motivos literarios de los libros de caballerías castellanos de materia artúrica.

Quizás la parte más intrigante de esta sección del libro sea la dedicada a la tradición sefardí: una comunidad de mujeres letradas en Ámsterdam que participó en la publicación de unas 400 ediciones en portugués y español durante los años en que los Países Bajos estaban bajo el dominio español. Estas mujeres, que sin duda formaban parte de la diáspora provocada por el edicto de expulsión de los judíos, promulgado por los Reyes Católicos en 1492, por herencia cultural solían tener un más alto nivel de alfabetización que sus coetáneas dentro de España.

Published: June 2019

Introducción. Staphylococcus aureus resistente a la meticilina (SARM) es una bacteria Gram positivaque hace parte de la microbiota normal y es causa importante de infecciones de origen hospitalario o adquiridas en la comunidad. Objetivo. Caracterizar fenotípicamente los aislamientos de cepas de S. aureus productoras de ß-lactamasas y resistentes a la meticilina (SARM), aisladas en infecciones asociadas con la atención en salud en un centro hospitalario de tercer nivel. Métodos. Se llevó a cabo un estudio observacional, descriptivo y de corte transversal, que incluyó 141 cepas aisladas de 1.761 muestras clínicas que presentaban crecimiento bacteriano, en una institución de salud de II nivel de complejidad de Duitama (Boyacá). En la identificación bacteriana y en las pruebas de sensibilidad, se utilizó el método automatizado Phoenix 100™ Becton Dickinson (BD). Los fenotipos de resistencia por ß-lactamasas y a la meticilina se confirmaron siguiendo la metodología del Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute del 2017. Resultados. De 1.761 muestras clínicas que presentaron crecimiento bacteriano, se obtuvieron 141 cepas de S. aureus, de las cuales 40 presentaron el fenotipo de resistencia por betalactamasas y 19 fueron resistentes a meticilina.Conclusión. Se revela una importante prevalencia de fenotipos de resistencia circulantes en Duitama (Boyacá), con mayor prevalencia de producción de betalactamasas y menor prevalencia del fenotipo resistente a meticilina (SARM). Esto corrobora que a nivel regional y en el municipio de Duitama, S. aureus es una importante causa de infección y constituye un problema de salud pública, el cual debe continuar siendo objeto de futuras investigaciones.

A Note on Multiplicative (Generalized) (α, β)-Derivations in Prime Rings
Authors: Rehman Nadeem ur , Al-omary Radwan M. , Muthana Najat Mohammed
Published: June 2019

Let R be a prime ring with center Z(R). A map G : R →R is called a multiplicative (generalized) (α, β)-derivation if G(xy)= G(x)α(y)+β(x)g(y) is fulfilled for all x; y ∈ R, where g : R → R is any map (not necessarily derivation) and α; β : R → R are automorphisms. Suppose that G and H are two multiplicative (generalized) (α, β)-derivations associated with the mappings g and h, respectively, on R and α, β are automorphisms of R. The main objective of the present paper is to investigate the following algebraic identities: (i) G(xy) + α(xy) = 0, (ii) G(xy) + α(yx) = 0, (iii) G(xy) + G(x)G(y) = 0, (iv) G(xy) = α(y) ○ H(x) and (v) G(xy) = [α(y), H(x)] for all x, y in an appropriate subset of R.

Cultural practices and control of diseases and insects are widely used for cultivation of Olea europea L. These are considered potential contaminants. Aim of this investigation lies in determination of concentrations of contaminants in several edible olive oils. All test samples were purchased in three consecutive seasons. They were analysed in compliance with standardized international protocols of wet digestion methods. Ion concentrations were determined in three replicates using method of inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. We have registered a positive correlation between storage time and heavy metals contents. It was particularly high in Iranian brands and varied significantly. Investigation results show that all obtained heavy metals contents in pepper-flavoured olive oil samples were significantly lower than in other samples. Considering the fungi-flavoured samples, levels of Pb and Cd were prominent and exceeded the maximum permissible level set in the majority of cases. The further monitoring is needed as all these metals are toxic and their detrimental effect becomes obvious only after several years of exposure.
Towards a Sustainable Future? The EU Policies Concerning Plastics and Their Didactical Potential for Primary and Secondary Teaching
Authors: Kerscher Ulrich
Published: June 2019

Plastic, plastic waste and marine litter indisputably is one of the key environmental issues of the 21st century. The already existing amount of accumulated marine litter, the high quantity of plastic waste escaping from waste management streams every year in combination with the low recycling rates for plastic and the missing awareness of the consumer for sustainable consumption pose a permanent threat to the ecosystem, biodiversity and human health. What is more, as economic and ecological interests strongly deviate from each other, the transformation of this status quo towards a more sustainable future will take place very slowly. Against this background, this paper will shortly outline the multitude of problems connected to plastic products throughout a productís lifecycle and introduce the idea of a circular economy. On this basis, the paper will critically analyze the strategy papers and the ongoing legislation of the EU introduced to solve these problems and to realize the transformation process of the EU-economy towards a circular economy from a sustainable development point of view. On the one hand, awareness raising is one main strategy of the EU to achieve this transformation, on the other hand, educational institutions are not specifically mentioned by the EU. In order to address this shortcoming, the paper will constitute the teaching principle global development politics / education for sustainable development as one measure to increase consumersí awareness and sustainable consumption. In general, this paper will proof that the topical area plastics can fruitfully be implemented at German schools for primary and secondary education in order to strengthen the education for sustainable development.
Spirituality and Sustainability of Interreligious/Interdenominational Dialogue in Theological Study Programs
Authors: Geikina Laima , Balode Dace
Published: June 2019

This article is part of broader research on “The Interrelationship of Theology and Praxis in the Context of Sustainable Intercultural and Interreligious Dialogue”1 in which we explore two essential concepts: sustainability and interreligious dialogue. We have narrowed this broader topic to study how facilitation of students’ spirituality in theology study programmes develops an environment for sustainability of interdenominational/interreligious dialogue. We provide a theoretical glimpse into research from theology, pedagogy, and spirituality. Our future research process will be based on our findings. One of the current challenges is globalization, which coincides with diversification of cultural norms and moral values. The sustainability provision for our home – Earth – suggests new ways to achieve common solutions, not only economically (prosperity) and politically (peace and stability), but also religiously (justice and solidarity) in terms of current changes. But, looking deeper, theology is searching for new definitions for traditional concepts such as “my neighbour”, “creation”, and “community of believers”. Bert Roebben states that the Christian community (and the global community as a whole) needs to find means to “grow in a common humanity” (Roebben, 2018). In this article, we reflect on how a spiritual approach can be methodologically integrated into theology studies to promote spiritual growth and establish sustainable interreligious dialogue: What type of theology should create the foundation of theology study programmes to promote students’ spirituality as a prerequisite for sustainability? How does spirituality promote sustainability of interdenominational/interreligious dialogue? Research methodology combines hermeneutic insights on conditions for sustainability of interdenominational/interreligious dialogue, its theological foundations, spiritual practice as a pedagogical basis, and the possibility for implementing sustainable dialogue support mechanisms in theology study programmes. Theology study programmes that promote student spirituality develop an environment for sustainable interdenominational/interreligious dialogue.
