Authors: Krügener Kirsti , Ornik Jan , Jachim Roksana , Kietz Bettina , Petersen Karin , Mittleman Daniel M. , Koch Martin , Viöl Wolfgang
Published: December 2019

Wood is one of the most widely used materials for construction projects, in the furniture industry, as well as in the field of cultural property of valuable objects. Terahertz (THz) radiation has great potential for non-contact and non-destructive analysis of wooden materials. This article reports a study of the degree of growth of Trametes versicolor in wood samples, using THz radiation. The analysis compares the THz results to microscopic examinations of the samples, common beech incubated with T. versicolor, at different growth times. The results indicate a strong correlation between the parameters extracted from THz measurements and the progress of the fungal infestation, suggesting that THz imaging may be a valuable tool for non-contact inspection of wood.
Modeling of Non-Newtonian Flow in an Inverted Cone Foam Breaker
Authors: St-Pierre-Lemieux Gabriel , Askari Mahvelati Ehsan , Groleau Denis , Proulx Pierre
Published: December 2019

Foam formation is a widespread phenomenon and often a serious problem in fermentation processes. Inverted cones used as mechanical foam breakers are rotating devices that pump the fluid up and pulverize it at the edge. The shearing and centrifugal actions of such geometries can help to control foaming. In this study, a model was developed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), based on the non-Newtonian properties of foam, to describe and explain the action of inverted cones as foam breakers.
Aspect semantics and ESL article use
Authors: Bulatovic Vesna
Published: December 2019

ESL learners often show great variation in article use. This study proposes that article use can be improved if the semantic feature (non)boundedness is introduced into ELT. This study argues that articles carry highly relevant information that is crucial, together with a number of other elements, for the signalling of aspectual values in English. It is argued that the signalling of aspectual values is the primary role of articles and that if ESL learners receive instruction on this role, they may learn how to signal aspectual values correctly, but also improve their article use thanks to a greater awareness of articles. The paper reports on an experiment conducted to test ESL learners’ response to such instruction and concludes that incorporating (non)boundedness into ESL instruction is both reasonable and necessary.
On certain applications of gradient nanochemomechanics: deformation and fracture of LIB and SGS
Authors: Tsagrakis Ioannis , Konstantopoulos Iason , Sidiropoulos Alexandros , Aifantis Elias C.
Published: December 2019

The term gradient nano-chemo-mechanics was introduced to encompass models incorporating higher order couplings between deformation and chemistry at the nanoscale. Along these lines, the article first reviews the basics of a robust theoretical framework developed for such processes focusing on elasticity and diffusion. The classical laws for Hookean deformation and Fickean transport are modified to include extra Laplacian terms and corresponding internal lengths modeling nonlocal interactions. Then, special cases are considered to describe deformation and fracture aspects of new energy materials; namely Li-ion battery (LIB) nanostructured anodes and disclinated metallic microcrystals (DMC). Both of these material systems are characterized by a high degree of spatial gradient structures (SGS) with extended surface for energy storage and catalysis applications.

Published: December 2019

Historically known for being one of the major pollutants in the world, the construction industry, always in constant advancement and development, is currently evolving towards more environmentally friendly technologies and methods. Scientists and engineers seek to develop and implement green alternatives to conventional construction materials. One of these alternatives is to introduce an abundant, hard to recycle, material that could serve as a partial aggregate replacement in masonry bricks or even in a more conventional concrete mixture. The present work studied the use of 3 different types of repurposed plastics with different constitutions and particle size distribution. Accordingly, several brick and concrete mix designs were developed to determine the practicality of using these plastics as partial aggregate replacements. After establishing proper working material ratios for each brick and concrete mix, compression tests as well as tensile tests for the concrete mixes helped determine the structural capacity of both applications. Presented results proved that structural strength can indeed be reached in a masonry unit, using up to a 43% in volume of plastic. Furthermore, a workable structural strength for concrete can be achieved at fourteen days of curing, using up to a 50% aggregate replacement. A straightforward cost assessment for brick production was produced as well as various empirical observations and recommendations concerning the feasibility of each repurposed plastic type examined.
Visualizing the crack driving force through fluid analogy
Authors: Unger David J.
Published: December 2019

It is shown that the crack driving force for a fundamental antiplane crack problem is analogous to the limiting case of the force acting on an ideal fluid on free streamlines that form at the ends of flow around two parallel plates.
Nutrition and medical support during pregnancy and lactation in women with inborn errors of intermediary metabolism disorders (IEMDs)
Authors: Manta-Vogli Penelope D. , Schulpis Kleopatra H. , Dotsikas Yannis , Loukas Yannis L.
Published: December 2019

The establishment of expanded newborn screening (NBS) not only results in the early diagnosis and treatment of neonates with inborn errors of intermediary metabolism disorders (IEMDs) but also helps the affected females to reach the reproductive age under medical and dietetic support, as well as to give birth to normal infants. In this review, we aimed to focus on laboratory investigation tests, dietetic management and medical support for most known IEMD pregnant and lactating women, such as those suffering from aminoacidopathies, carbohydrate metabolic diseases and fatty acid (FAO) oxidation disorders.
Measurement of Residual Stresses of Locomotive Wheel Treads During the Manufacturing Technological Cycle
Authors: Muravev Vitaly V. , Muraveva Olga V. , Volkova Ludmila V. , Sága Milan , Ságová Zuzana
Published: December 2019

The production of two-wheeled rolling stock represents, at first glance, a simple assembly process that significantly affects the overall functionality and safety of the vehicle. This is due to residual stresses that arise after assembly by pressing the wheel on the axle. The state of stress after assembly remains in the design has a decisive influence on the load-bearing capacity of the two-wheel drive, its lifespan but also the transfer of the pulling force in the case of locomotives. Therefore, it is very important to find suitable methods for determining residual stresses. Numerical and experimental approaches are already in place to gain information on the state of stress after compression, or during a real operation. The developed techniques and tools for estimation of residual stresses in locomotive wheel treads based on the acoustoelasticity effect using electromagnetic acoustic transformation are described in the paper. The original results of residual stress measurement in the treads during a technological cycle of locomotive wheel pair manufacturing are presented.

Beyond Corruption? Romania’s Future after the EU Presidency
Authors: Gatejel Luminita , Grama Adrian
Published: December 2019

Between January and June 2019 Romania managed the rotating presidency of the European Union, the first of a trio to be followed by Finland and Croatia. This commentary takes stock of Romania’s trajectory over the last few years and offers a broad overview of the country’s economy and politics. Where does Romania stand today, more than a decade since it joined the European Union? In the first part, the authors sketch the recent evolution of Romania’s economy which has been marked by high growth but overall modest increases in wages, and tight labour markets. In the second part they turn to politics, in particular to the realignment of the political spectrum following the European elections of May 2019. They conclude by pointing out some of the problems that are likely to confront both Bucharest and Brussels in the near future.
Die Finanzsituation von Studierenden unter verschiedenen Institutionen der Studienfinanzierung – ein internationaler Vergleich
Authors: Gwosć Christoph
Published: December 2019

Market, state, and the family of students are important sources of student funding. An empirical analysis for 25 countries in the European Higher Education Area reveals that in 80 % of countries, there is a pattern according to which students who depend on self-financing through the market reach the highest level of total monthly income. Their fellow students, who financially depend on their families, have a median income level and students who are mainly funded by the state have the lowest revenue. The significant differences in revenue between the three groups of students also involve financial problems of varying degrees.

Kartellrecht und Datenschutzrecht – zugleich ein Beitrag zur 10. GWB-Novelle und zum Facebook-Verfahren
Authors: Bueren Eckart
Published: December 2019

Kartellrechtsfälle im Spannungsfeld zwischen Datenschutzrecht und Kartellrecht führen bereits einige Jahrzehnte zurück, bedingt durch die Digitalisierung hat dieser Bereich in jüngerer Zeit aber viel Aufmerksamkeit erhalten. Die folgende Darstellung untersucht das – mal harmonische, mal dissonante – Zusammenspiel beider Rechtsgebiete systematisch mit einer tour d’horizon durch die verschiedenen Bereiche des Kartellrechts. Dabei werden die Implikationen des Referentenentwurfs zur 10. GWB-Novelle ebenso gewürdigt wie die besonders umstrittene Fallgruppe des Missbrauchsverbots mit dem Facebook-Verfahren des Bundeskartellamts. Zugleich geht der Beitrag darauf ein, wie Datenschutzrecht und Kartellrecht bei der Auslegung aufeinander abgestimmt werden können.

Vertikale Zusammenschlüsse in der deutschen Fusionskontrolle
Authors: Bischke Alf-Henrik
Published: December 2019

Der Beitrag geht der Frage nach, ob es Unterschiede zwischen der deutschen Entscheidungspraxis und dem konzeptionellen Ansatz der Europäischen Kommission zur Beurteilung vertikaler Zusammenschlüsse gibt. Er befasst sich insbesondere mit den Entscheidungen des Bundeskartellamts in den Fällen CTS Eventim/Four Artists, Remondis/DSD und RWE/E.ON. In diesen Fällen hat sich die Behörde intensiver mit der Frage befasst, wie vertikale Zusammenschlüsse nach deutschem Fusionskontrollrecht zu beurteilen sind. Auch das OLG Düsseldorf hatte über den Fall CTS Eventim/Four Artists zu entscheiden. Bundeskartellamt und Gericht mussten sich u. a. mit der Frage befassen, welche Bedeutung der 2012 ins deutsche Recht eingeführte SIEC-Test bei der Beurteilung vertikaler Zusammenschlüsse hat.
Kartellrechtliche Internal Investigations im Spiegel der instanz- und verfassungsgerichtlichen Praxis – Schutzlücken und Reformbedarf
Authors: Uwer Dirk , von Schreitter Florian
Published: December 2019

Angesichts der weiterhin sehr hohen Bußgelder im europäischen und deutschen Kartellrecht ist die Vermeidung von Rechtsverstößen in diesem Bereich (Compliance) von größter Bedeutung für jedes Unternehmen. Internal Investigations, also unternehmensinterne Untersuchungen mit anwaltlicher Unterstützung, sind ein Kernstück solcher Bemühungen. Zur effizienten Durchführung von Internal Investigations und der damit bezweckten umfassenden Aufklärung zur (Weiter-)Entwicklung von Compliancemaßnahmen sowie Verteidigungs- oder Kooperationsstrategien gegenüber den Kartellbehörden bedarf es jedoch eines geschützten Bereichs, innerhalb dessen die Kommunikation zwischen Mandant und Anwalt nicht durch staatliche Ermittlungsmaßnahmen beeinträchtigt wird. Jüngere Gerichtsverfahren, insbesondere die Jones-Day-Entscheidungen des Bundesverfassungsgerichts, haben jedoch erneut deutlich gemacht, dass die deutschrechtlichen Standards für das „Anwaltsprivileg“ insgesamt lückenhaft sind – das Kartellrecht bildet hier keine Ausnahme. Vor diesem Hintergrund beschreibt der Beitrag die Rahmenbedingungen des deutschen Rechts, führt durch die wichtigsten Gerichtsverfahren der letzten Jahre und analysiert die Situation „nach Jones Day“. Ergänzt wird dies durch praktische Überlegungen zu den für Ermittler bestehenden Spielräumen, den wichtigsten Herausforderungen für Mandanten und Anwälte sowie mögliche Wege zur Erhöhung des Schutzniveaus für die Korrespondenz zwischen Mandant und Anwalt. Ein kurzer Ausblick auf bevorstehende Änderungen des Rechtsrahmens im Zusammenhang mit Internal Investigations beschließt die Darstellung.
Ebbs and flows

This article calls for a recognition of women’s roles in contributing to the Perth popular music scene during the 1980s and 1990s. The research thus functions as a balance to the already established literature which explores Perth popular music around this period more broadly. The research herein indicates a surge in women’s musicianship following on from the relatively low levels of women’s participation in the late 1960s to early 1970s. It has also been noted in popular music studies literature that women in music are generally written out of dominant narratives. Thus, this research functions to redress some of those gaps. Through a mixed-methods approach comprising semi-structured interviews and literature review, it is revealed that women faced unique challenges for inaugurating community and securing careers in the Perth industry during the 1980s and 1990s. The greatest surge in participation occurs the mid- to late 1990s.

Migración, espacio y exclusión en 2020 de Javier Moreno
Authors: Leon Vegas Carolina
Published: December 2019

A number of novels about the financial crisis and its consequences have been written in Spain in recent years. In most, migrants are represented in a secondary role, often as short allusions or as mere ornaments. This article aims to highlight one novel, 2020 by Javier Moreno, that breaks that pattern since it features migrant characters in key roles. The article further aims to analyse the relationship between space and the representation of the migrant in the context of a society in crisis. The notions of non-place by Marc Augé and heterotopia by Michel Foucault will serve as the theoretical framework that will allow for an exploration of phenomena such as the inversion of non-places into places, the connection of crisis and deviation, the role of certain spaces as both shelters and containers of the unwanted, the role of gaze in the construction of an exclusion, and the circular movement of powerless characters in time and space throughout the novel.
East Asian Transportation
Authors: Popov Sergei , Baldynov Oleg , Korneev Konstantin , Maksakova Darya
Published: December 2019

The energy transition paradigm consists in a substitution of fossil energy for renewable resources, and low carbon transportation is one of the most important issues within this process. The oil century introduced modern mobility to society and since then petroleum supply has been a key to control transportation services. Energy security and environmental issues, as well as business aspects of implementing innovative technological chains at national and international levels, are major drivers for decarbonisation of transportation services for East Asian economies. Policy, institutions and technological patterns toward lower carbon footprints for the transportation sector are overviewed in this article. The emphasis is on hydrogen technologies, the corresponding drivers and the ambitions of industrialised East Asian economies to establish hydrogen infrastructure at a national level. The major factors for hydrogen technologies and hydrogen infrastructure developments in China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan are briefly discussed. The role of road transportation systems in such development is highlighted. Current energy consumption for transportation is described, some official documents are reviewed and a snapshot of recent developments is provided for each of these economies.
Temperature and age effects on mechanical behaviour of phosphorus slag-based concrete
Authors: Zhang Sherong , Cao Kelei , Wang Chao , Zhu Andong , Wang Xiaohua , Shang Chao
Published: December 2019

A novel phosphorus slag-based concrete is illustrated and provided in the paper with the aim of investigating experimentally the water temperature and age effects on its mechanical behaviour. The compressive and splitting tensile experiments of this concrete with different water temperatures (5, 10, 20, 30 and 40°C) and ages (7, 24, 72, 168, 336 and 672 h) are carried out to reveal the corresponding strength change laws and the relationship between strength and curing parameters. The failure modes and internal cracks evolution of the phosphorus slag-based concrete are depicted through strength tests and acoustic emission (AE) tests. The results show that water temperature and age effects on the development of compressive strength of the phosphorus slag-based concrete are very significant. The relationships between compressive strength and curing age of concrete under different water temperatures can be described by a logarithmic model based on the experimental data. Finally, the effectiveness of the test results has been confirmed by comparing the results from AE location with the macroscopic failure mode of concrete. The present results can provide a reference for engineering application in underwater buildings repair, such as discharge holes and spillways.

acervos literários e a construção do texto biográfico
Authors: Brasil Luiz Antonio de Assis , Moreira Maria Eunice , Nascimento Fábio Varela
Published: December 2019

Resumo: Este trabalho aborda a relevância dos acervos literários no processo de construção de textos biográficos – especialmente no caso da escrita da biografia do psicanalista e escritor gaúcho Cyro Martins (1908-1995). Em um primeiro momento, o foco do artigo recai sobre a importância dos materiais preservados no Acervo Cyro Martins, localizado no Delfos – Espaço de Documentação e Memória Cultural da Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul –, para a escrita de uma futura biografia. Depois, são ressaltadas as potencialidades de outros acervos guardados no Delfos, pois Cyro Martins se relacionou de alguma forma com figuras intelectuais cujos arquivos também estão preservados na instituição: Dyonélio Machado, Lila Ripoll, Moysés Vellinho, Manoelito de Ornellas e João Otávio Nogueira Leiria.

riso unido ao distanciamento
Authors: Fernandes Danielle Fardin
Published: December 2019

Resumo: Este artigo trata do riso unido ao distanciamento, correlações com o conto “Jacinto (recordações de Vila Rica)”, de Alphonsus de Guimaraens e o livro Cândido, ou o otimismo, de Voltaire, e também busca traçar um perfil humorista do poeta com base nos arquivos do Museu Casa Alphonsus Guimaraens. Ambos os autores, embora vivessem em países e épocas diferentes, de certo modo, acabaram se aproximando em suas escritas. Um, filósofo, dramaturgo e historiador, outro, poeta simbolista, se renderam aos artifícios da comicidade e produziram trabalhos que pertencem ao campo humorístico. No caso de Alphonsus, autor destacado neste trabalho, há uma personalidade que necessita ser delineada nesse sentido, uma vez que há uma grande quantidade de criações relacionadas ao riso nos manuscritos e outros documentos do Museu Casa Alphonsus Guimaraens, e todos, normalmente o conheciam como um poeta taciturno, o “solitário de Mariana”. No geral este estudo busca investigar como Voltaire, em Cândido, ou o otimismo, e Alphonsus no conto “Jacinto (recordações de Vila Rica)”, usam a ironia para provocar o riso, algo que, numa avaliação mais profunda, traduz uma decepção com o social e com a realidade existencial, gerando uma espécie de distanciamento. Pretende, por fim, com base em pesquisas em documentos históricos, encontrar uma lembrança dessa outra faceta de Alphonsus. O livro O riso e o risível: na história do pensamento, de Verena Alberti e o capítulo “Rabelais e a história do riso” em Cultura popular na idade média e no renascimento, de Mikhail Bakhtin, completam a investigação.
Palavras-chave: Alphonsus Guimaraens; museu; Voltaire; riso; Jacinto (recordações de Vila Rica; Cândido, ou o otimismo.
Entre cartas e cadernetas latino-americanas
Authors: Ruivo Marina , Rodrigues Joana
Published: December 2019

Resumo: Objetivando formular reflexões sobre o trabalho com as escritas de si e os arquivos dos escritores, este artigo levanta, mais do que respostas, alguns questionamentos. A direção a ser tomada é dupla: de um lado, as correspondências de Gabriel García Márquez, especificamente as cartas trocadas por ele, entre 1961 e 1971, com o amigo Plinio Apuleyo Mendoza, também jornalista e escritor. Na outra direção, aborda-se um objeto extraliterário presente no arquivo de Carlos Heitor Cony, a caderneta de telefones que ele levou a Cuba em 1968, problematizando como analisar esse objeto e interrogando as possíveis contribuições de tal análise. Se a aproximação entre escritores tão diferentes pode soar estranha, ela partiu, no entanto, das semelhanças existentes entre as trajetórias de vida dos dois, que vivenciaram as agruras dos estados de exceção, dentro e fora de seus países, carregando a militância jornalística e literária ora para as páginas da imprensa, onde atuaram como cronistas, repórteres e colunistas, ora para as páginas dos romances. Além disso, partiu da busca de constituir fios de diálogos entre pesquisas que estão sendo feitas em simultâneo e que se voltam para os chamados gêneros íntimos, o que permitiu expandir a visão no sentido de acolher tais elementos – a caderneta e a correspondência –, visando a (re)discussão a seu respeito e pensando, inclusive, se tais peças poderiam vir a ser consideradas como literárias.

Resumo: Partindo de algumas considerações de Leonor Arfuch, Philippe Lejeune e Michel Blanchot sobre a “escrita íntima” relacionada à produção de diários, este artigo tem por objetivo central tecer uma análise comparativa entre os diários de três escritoras: Maura Lopes Cançado, Alejandra Pizarnik e Sylvia Plath. Colocando essas produções lado a lado, intencionamos mostrar algumas características comuns, tanto com relação à forma – como a recorrência à linguagem lírica –, quanto com relação aos conteúdos: relatos de angústias, tentativas de suicídio, experiências de internamento em hospitais psiquiátricos e o medo da loucura (tema que investigamos com o auxílio de Lisa Appignanesi). Esperamos, com essa proposta, não apenas contribuir para a sistematização dos estudos sobre diários de escritoras que se dedicaram ao ofício da literatura, mas, principalmente, considerando os casos específicos aqui em foco, apontar possíveis especificidades da escrita íntima que lida diretamente com experiências de tratamento psiquiátrico e suicídio.

pacientes e encantadoras personagens femininas de Dona Anja
Authors: Andretta Luana Maria , Rettenmaier Miguel
Published: December 2019

Resumo: A leitura de esboços, rascunhos e versões, ou seja, elementos pré-textuais que podem indicar a gênese de uma obra publicada – também chamados de prototextos – permite ao pesquisador, pelo viés da crítica genética, compreender movimentos criativos ao longo do processo de escritura de uma obra. Esse gesto, muitas vezes, pode explicar a construção de determinado texto e oferecer uma possibilidade de releitura da obra tida como final. A partir dessa perspectiva, o presente artigo visa à análise da descontinuidade da construção da personagem feminina em um dos prototextos do livro Dona Anja, de Josué Guimarães, resguardados no Acervo Literário Josué Guimarães, da Universidade de Passo Fundo (ALJOG/UPF), na categoria de manuscritos de produção ativa. Nesta pesquisa, a descontinuidade é compreendida como sendo formada por interrupções de enunciados de uma versão do manuscrito para outra, ou do manuscrito para o livro publicado. A investigação desses traços embasa-se nos conceitos teóricos de Pino e Zular (2007), Biasi (2010) e Willemart (2009), bem como na leitura crítico-comparativa do “livrão” – livro de notas e esboços do escritor gaúcho – e da primeira edição da obra, publicada em 1978. Por meio da observação das rasuras, configuradas em acréscimos ou supressões, pôde-se criar um novo espaço de relações e compreender o perfil e o papel das personagens femininas apresentadas na obra em questão.

Improvement of methods for determining the efficiency of advertising
Authors: Chernenko Maksym , Yakovlev Anatoliy
Published: December 2019

Theoretical background: The paper shows that increase in sales and profit margins is only partially dependent on the implementation of advertising activities. Methodical approaches for estimation of an exhibition and advertising activity and promotion of its employees are specified.

Purpose of the article: It is the purpose of this article to analyze and further develop the methodological principles for assessing the efficiency of advertising and exhibition activities.

Main findings: The results of the work involve evaluation of the effect of advertising and the share of the impact of advertising in increased revenue from the sale of products. A corresponding proportion of this impact was determined based on consumer inquiries. We propose an index of exhibition and trade fair performance, calculated based on two components: how many times a specific company participated in such events, and how the company was presented at relevant exhibition and fairs. Indices of the cost of advertising and promotion of certain products were provided as well. The present research is a novel approach that consists first in proving that the sales increase effect should not be assigned to advertising only, and second, determining the factors that influence consumer preferences and their share in the total value effect. Moreover, the proposed index of influence of exhibition and trade fair performance results depending on the selected factors is innovative as well. The practical importance of the research results involves a more accurate calculation of the effect caused by activities performed and, consequently, an increase in the efficiency of the business entities.
Unconventional monetary policy of the European Central Bank: A brief recapitulation
Authors: Skibińska-Fabrowska Ilona
Published: December 2019

The financial and economic crisis that has hit many economies in recent years has significantly increased the activity of central banks. After using the standard instruments of conducting monetary policy, in view of the obstruction of monetary impulse transmission channels, they reached for non-standard instruments. Among them, asset purchase programs played a signifciant role. The European Central Bank (ECB) launched the largest asset purchase programme (APP) of this type in 2014 and expired in December 2018. The aim of the undertaken activities was to improve the situation on the financial market and stimulate economic growth. The article reviews the literature and results of research on the effects of the program and indicates the possibility of using the ECB’s experience in conducting monetary policy by the National Bank of Poland.

O conhecimento da variabilidade espacial das propriedades do solo é útil para o uso racional dos insumos, como na aplicação localizada de calcário e fertilizantes nos sistemas de integração lavoura-Pecuária-Floresta (ILPF). A agricultura de precisão (PA) é a ferramenta para melhorar a eficiência do uso destes insumos. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar a aplicação calagem e de fertilizante fosfatado a taxas variáveis em um sistema ILPF. O estudo de campo foi realizado em uma área de 30 ha da Embrapa Pecuária Sudeste, em São Carlos, SP. As amostras de solo foram coletadas a 0-0,2 m de profundidade, e cada amostra representou um piquete. A variabilidade espacial das propriedades do solo e das necessidades específicas de calcário e fertilizantes foram modeladas. Os resultados mostraram que a análise espacial das necessidades de calagem e adubação podem fornecer ferramentas de gestão para o manejo de pastagens. E a tecnologia da aplicação de calcário e fertilizante fosfatado à taxa variável pode ser utilizada como ferramenta de correção e adubação do solo levando à maior homogeneidade dos atributos químicos do solo.

O contínuo crescimento da população mundial está diretamente associado à necessidade de incrementar a produção de alimentos, tanto de origem vegetal, quanto animal, contudo, este incremento resulta em um aumento na geração de resíduos das cadeias produtivas. Conscientizar os produtores de suínos para aumentar a produção e reduzir os efeitos nocivos ao ambiente se torna necessário, visto que, a suinocultura é uma atividade agropecuária que causa grande impacto ambiental. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar o tratamento primário dos resíduos provenientes da suinocultura após o processo de biodigestão. Dentre os tratamentos realizados pode-se destacar que o tratamento 2 contendo sulfato de alumínio obteve uma melhor resposta na remoção da demanda química de oxigênio (DQO) quando comparado aos demais tratamentos. Os resultados são de elevada importância, pois refletem na produtividade e, consequentemente, na rentabilidade, além de minimizar os impactos ambientais.

In Colombia, the small rice plantations must be associated with nearby ones to decrease the fixed costs of harvesting. These associations contract with third parties the mowing, threshing and cleaning combined machines of the grain. In the search for efficiency, the process of scheduling the dates in which each crop will be served by the combined machines must be managed in a centralized manner, taking into account the different machines efficiencies, the conditions of the land and the cost overruns for violating the windows time associated with the harvest time of the crops. In this sense, this article develops a solution to address the described problem, based on a whole linear programming model which minimizes the overall harvest costs and the costs of harvesting the crops in premature or anticipated moments. The model was validated in one of the associations, which showed results that minimize the total cost of machinery allocation by 7.04%.

Background: Osteoarthritis is a very common chronic degenerative disease most commonly affecting the knee joints. In present study we compared the efficacy of autogenous platelet rich plasma (PRP) versus visco supplementation in treatment of early osteoarthritis of knees.

Methods: 30 patients (56 knees) were registered and divided into two groups. Out of which PRP in 28 knees and visco supplementation in 28 knees injected during. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) scores were measured. These scores were measured at first visit, 6 weeks, 12 weeks and at 24 weeks.

Results: All registered patients were randomized in two groups. Group I (total 16 patients and 28 knees) for intraarticular PRP injection and group II (total 14 patients and 28 knees) for intraarticular viscosupplement injection. Out of 28 knees of group I; 12 (42.85%) knees belonged to grade II and 16 (57.15%) of grade III. Out of 28 knees of group II; 15 (53.57%) knees of grade II and 13 (46.45%) of grade III. None of the knees belonged to grade I and grade 0. There was significant difference in outcome of two treatment groups (p<0.05) at 24 weeks.

Conclusions: Treatment with PRP showed a significantly better clinical outcome compared with viscosupplemention at 24 weeks follow up. Although patients achieved lower WOMAC and VAS scores in PRP group at 6 and 12 weeks follow up that was statistically insignificant. We conclude that long term results of PRP are better than viscosupplementation.

This study aimed at examining academic behavior and its relation to demography. The quantitative descriptive approach was used to study more broadly with data collection tools using a closed questionnaire. Respondents in this study were 96 students of the Faculty of Economics and Business at X College in Purwokerto. The results of the study show that, in each semester, honest behavior was more than honest behavior, especially in the first semester of the lecture. While the gender of both women and men did not have high differences. Academic dishonesty was also related to the origin of school, general schools (not based on religion) were more compared to religious-based schools such as MAN. Whereas based on age, 18-20 more academic dishonesty was found. AbstrakPenelitian ini mengkaji perilaku akademik dan kaitannya dengan demografi. Pendekatan kuantitatif deskriptif digunakan untuk mengkaji lebih luas dengan alat pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner tertutup. Responden dalam penelitian ini yaitu 96 mahasiswa Fakultas Ekonomi dan Bisnis pada Perguruan Tinggi X di Purwokerto. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa, disetiap semester perilaku tidak jujur lebih banyak dibandingkan perilaku jujur, terutama pada semester awal perkuliahan. Sedangkan jenis kelamin baik perempuan maupuun laki-laki tidak memiliki perbedaan yang tinggi. Ketidakjujuran akademik juga berkaitan dengan asal sekolah, sekolah yang umum (tidak berbasis agama) lebih banyak dibandingkan dengan sekolah yang berbasis agama seperti MAN. Sedangkan berdasarkan usia, 18-20 lebih banyak ditemukan ketidakjujuran akademik.
The Great Divergence Reconsidered: Or, Is it Time to Reconsider the Great Divergence Debate?
Authors: Sooter Joshua Allen
Published: December 2019

Twenty years ago, Kenneth Pomeranz’s The Great Divergence (2000) reshaped debates over the historical causes of Europe’s rapid nineteenthcentury industrialization and economic growth. By comparing the Yangzi Delta region of China to Britain, Pomeranz asserted that Europe was not exceptionally dynamic before the nineteenth century and that its divergence from Asia owed to colonial exploitation of the Americas and ecological contingencies, namely abundant coal deposits. Some recent studies have sought to refute or refine Pomeranz’s thesis using the Indian subcontinent as an historical case study. This essay reviews three of these works and, in doing so, demonstrates current methodological limitations of this debate. Specifically, recent scholarship, although seeking to critique Pomeranz, employs his two-way comparative methodology, but in a manner that operates within a Eurocentric teleology and takes the European historical experience as normative. Instead, I propose that scholars inquire after the historical connections among societies’ plural-yet-connected historical trajectories.
Complex analysis of genes involved in the inflammatory response: interleukin-1-induced differential transcriptome of cultured human hepatoma HepG2 cells.
Authors: Koj Aleksander , Jura Jolanta
Published: December 2019

The systemic inflammatory reaction (acute phase response) is induced by many noxious stimuli but in all cases the inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1-beta (IL-1beta) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), are involved. Liver cell response to inflammation manifested by a characteristic change in the profile of synthesized plasma proteins (acute phase proteins) has been extensively studied. Here we describe a model system of cultured human hepatoma HepG2 cells stimulated with IL-1beta to evaluate the transcriptome induced by this cytokine during 24 h of treatment. By using differential display analysis we found IL-1beta-induced upregulation of several genes coding for cellular trafficking/motor proteins, proteins participating in the translation machinery or involved in posttranscription/posttranslation modifications, proteases, proteins involved in cellular metabolism, activity modulators, proteins of the cell cycle machinery and also some new proteins so far functionally not classified.
