THE CONCEPT OF ECOLOGICAL SUSTAINABILITY AND A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE ATTEMPTS OF ITS IMPLEMENTATION IN SERBIA
Authors: Dinić Jelena , Tasković Irena
Published: September 2018

The basis of the advancement of contemporary society comprises the development of science and technology, intensified by the globalization processes. The tendency to progress further and produce more in order to improve the living conditions of people has also led to certain adverse consequences reflected in the ecological crisis, that is, the disturbance of the ecological balance. In an effort to come up with a solution, the model of sustainable development was created on the basis of harmonizing the economic needs with the preservation of the ecological balance both at the global and the local level. A healthy and high-quality living environment is not only the basic condition for economic wealth, but clean air, healthy water and healthy soil and food also present the fundamental preconditions for the good health of people. The concept of sustainable development is a relatively new notion, particularly in Serbia. However, it has neither been developed nor implemented sufficiently in our country. The reasons behind this are numerous, among which the unfavourable economic situation certainly occupies an important position, along with the fact that the concept of sustainable development still does not represent a widely accepted development paradigm in Serbia. For Serbia, as a developing country, it is of particular importance to preserve its ecological balance and ensure sustainable development, which is possible, among other things, by cooperating internationally in the sphere of environmental protection.

Published: September 2018

Continúa con esta editorial el debate sobre cómo cambiar los textos de química para el siglo XXI. Incorporamos en esta ocasión la discusión acerca de la introducción de los aspectos históricos en los libros de texto. ¿Tiene sentido recuperar la historia para plantearla como plataforma del aprendizaje o, mejor, nos vamos directo hasta las concepciones actuales de los fenómenos químicos, sin pasar por los modelos obsoletos? En esta ocasión hemos pedido a José Antonio Chamizo, un buen amigo y reconocido escribiente sobre estos temas, que nos plasme en tres cuartillas su punto de vista a este respecto. Invitamos a los apreciables lectores a leer su punto de vista en el primer recuadro.
Experiments in Dyes and Dyeing Means to better understand the nature of intermolecular forces
Authors: Livneh Mordechai
Published: September 2018

The nature of intermolecular forces is responsible for a vast number of phenomena in our everyday life. It can explain for example, trends in solubility, differences in boiling points, adsorption effects (chromatography) and many other observations. Our teaching experience shows that it is not easy to explain this issue to students of all levels, but better understanding can be achieved through experimentation. One of the most effective practical experiences we offer our students at BIU or in high schools deals with dyeing fibers with synthetic or natural dyes.

Correlation between total pressure losses of highly loaded annular diffusers and integral stage design parameters
Authors: Mimic Dajan , Jätz Christoph , Herbst Florian
Published: September 2018

Diffusers convert kinetic flow energy into a rise in static pressure. This pressure recovery is the primary aerodynamic design objective for exhaust gas diffusers in power-generating steam and gas turbines. The total pressure loss is an equally important diffuser design parameter. It is strongly linked to the pressure recovery and the residual kinetic energy of the diffuser outlet flow. A reduction benefits the overall thermodynamic cycle, which requires the adjacent components of a diffuser to be included in the design process.

This paper focuses on the total pressure losses in the boundary layer of a highly loaded annular diffuser. Due to its large opening angle the diffuser is susceptible to flow separation under uniform inlet conditions, which is a major source for total pressure losses. However, the unsteady tip leakage vortices of the upstream rotor, which are a source of losses, stabilise the boundary layer and prevent separation. Experiments and unsteady numerical simulation conducted show that the total pressure loss reduction caused by the delayed boundary layer separation exceed the vortex-induced losses by far. This flow interaction between the rotor and diffuser consequently decreases the overall total pressure losses.

The intensity of the tip leakage vortex is linked to three rotor design parameters, namely work coefficient, flow coefficient and reduced blade-passing frequency. Based on these parameters, we propose a semi-empiric correlation to predict and evaluate the change in total pressure losses with regards to design operating conditions.
A Legal and Exploratory Empirical Analysis of Changes to Innocent Spouse Law
Authors: Plečnik James M.
Published: September 2018

This paper studies recent changes to innocent spouse law instituted by Rev. Proc. 2013-34. This rule change explicitly addresses issues with innocent spouse rulings, while also making innocent spouse law more flexible. I use legal and empirical methodologies to study 81 innocent spouse cases, and find that the recent rule changes have significantly modified the impact of various factors. Changes to some factors were stated objectives of the rule change; for example, abuse now has an increased impact on innocent spouse rulings. However, some changes appear to be side effects of the revised law's increased flexibility. Specifically, the health factor was unchanged by Rev. Proc. 2013-34, but appears to have gained prominence due to greater flexibility in innocent spouse law. Overall, my findings show that judges can now decide a case based on various criteria, rather than being bound primarily by taxpayer knowledge—as was the case pre-Rev. Proc. 2013-34.

Obesity is usually associated with an increased risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease that is characterized by accumulation of excessive triglyceride (TG) in hepatocytes. However, the factors involved in the obesity-induced hepatosteatosis are poorly defined. Here, we report that SRY-box containing gene 4 (Sox4), a transcription factor that regulates cell proliferation and differentiation, plays an important role in hepatic TG metabolism. Sox4 expression levels are markedly upregulated in livers of obese rodents and humans. Adenovirus-medicated overexpression of Sox4 in the livers of lean mice promotes liver steatosis, whereas liver-specific knockdown of Sox4 ameliorates TG accumulation and improves insulin resistance in obese mice. At the molecular level, we show that Sox4 could directly control the transcription of SREBP-1c gene through binding to its proximal promoter region. Thus, we have identified Sox4 as an important component of hepatic TG metabolism.

The Inquiry-Based Learning” From Pre-Service Science Teachers’ Perspective
Authors: GÜLER Bekir , Sahin Mehmet
Published: September 2018

The existence of many abstract concepts in Science lessons can lead students to memorize them. This situation does not provide permanent learning for the students. Science education curriculum revised in 2017 aims to prepare science literate individuals via inquiry-based learning. A major part of this process consists of teachers who are the practitioners of the process. To provide a well-planned training process, we need teacher candidates’ views about their early experiences of inquiry-based learning. In this context, the aim of this study was to investigate pre-service science teachers’ views related to inquiry-based learning. The case study was employed in the research. Practices were conducted with 40 third-grade pre-service science teachers from a state university during 2014-2015 fall semester. Inquiry-based experiments were developed within the Science Teaching Laboratory Applications course and carried out with the participants. A scale of open-ended questions was used to collect data. The findings from the descriptive analysis indicated that teacher candidates had positive attitudes towards inquiry-based learning process and there were some challenges teachers faced during the implementation process. To overcome these difficulties, teacher candidates suggested some solutions for the implementation process.

Association of tibial plateau leveling osteotomy with proximal tibial osteosarcoma in dogs
Authors: Selmic Laura E. , Ryan Stewart D. , Ruple Audrey , Pass William E. , Withrow Stephen J.
Published: September 2018

OBJECTIVE To assess for any association between a history of tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) and subsequent development of proximal tibial osteosarcoma in dogs.

DESIGN Matched case-control study.

ANIMALS 34 client-owned dogs in which proximal tibial osteosarcoma was diagnosed between January 2005 and December 2012 (cases) and 79 dogs without osteosarcoma, matched 3:1 to cases (when possible) by age, breed, and initial examination date (controls).

PROCEDURES Information on each case and control was collected from the medical records and other sources regarding date of birth, sex and neuter status, body weight, breed, and whether TPLO had been performed ≥ 1 year ago. A multivariable conditional logistic regression model was constructed to evaluate associations of body weight and history of TPLO with the outcome of proximal tibial osteosarcoma in dogs.

RESULTS After adjusting for body weight in the multivariable model, dogs with a history of TPLO were 40 times as likely to develop proximal tibial osteosarcoma as were dogs with no history of TPLO. In addition, each 1-kg (2.2-lb) increase in body weight was associated with an 11% increase in the odds of proximal tibial osteosarcoma.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results suggested that dogs with a history of TPLO were at increased risk of developing osteosarcoma of the proximal region of the tibia relative to dogs with no such history. Therefore, it is important for proximal tibial osteosarcoma to be included among the differential diagnoses for new or worsening hind limb lameness in dogs that underwent TPLO ≥ 1 year previously.
Clinical features, diagnostic methods, treatments, and outcomes associated with ingested wires in the abdomen of horses: 16 cases (2002–2013)

Published: September 2018

OBJECTIVE To describe clinical features, diagnostic methods, treatments, and outcomes associated with ingested wire foreign bodies in the abdomen of horses.

DESIGN Retrospective case series.

ANIMALS 16 client-owned horses with ingested wire in their abdomens that were evaluated at a veterinary teaching hospital between April 2002 and February 2013.

PROCEDURES Data for each case were collected from medical records and owners and then reviewed. Differences in clinicopathologic variables between horses that did (survivors) or did not (nonsurvivors) survive to discharge from the hospital were assessed.

RESULTS The median duration of clinical signs prior to admission was 5.5 days (range, 0.5 to 1,095 days). Survivors (n = 4) had significantly lower median WBC count, neutrophil count, and plasma total protein concentration, compared with nonsurvivors (12), and all survivors underwent surgical treatment. Peritoneal fluid analysis revealed suppurative or septic peritonitis in all 8 horses tested. The presence of wire was confirmed by abdominal radiography (n = 6), exploratory laparotomy (2), and necropsy (8). The median length of ingested wire was 6 cm; wire had perforated viscera in 13 horses, 10 of which subsequently developed abdominal abscesses.

CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Abdominal perforation by wire should be considered a differential diagnosis for horses with peritonitis and abdominal abscesses. Radiography is useful for detection of wire foreign bodies in the abdomens of horses. Given the guarded prognosis for affected horses suggested by results of the present study, early and aggressive treatment, including exploratory laparotomy to retrieve the wire and address perforations, peritonitis, and abscesses, should be considered.
Tropical Imaginaries in Living Cities
Authors: Lundberg Anita
Published: September 2018

This is the second part of the eTropic special issue theme on Tropical Imaginaries and Living Cities. While the first part of this series concentrated predominately on concrete cities and the material imagination, this second issue explores notions of the tropics and cities through literary and artistic works. Thus in this collection of papers the tropical imaginary comes to the forefront while the metropolis provides the space or canvas for the imagination.Many of the cities called up in this collection have physical presence, places such as Darwin, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Paris, Berlin, Venice, Havana, and Kuching. Other cities conjured here may morph into various otherworldly forms such as haunted spaces or spaceships; or dissolve into a hazy backdrop as memory and imagination take the stage. Yet these urban spaces are nevertheless always alive, their virtual presence becomes the matrix that holds the imagination. The literary and creative works examined here flow from martial arts, through literary works including novels, short stories, poetry, and speculative fiction, and then transition into visual art through science-fiction magazine covers, art on walls and heritage arts spaces, to come to a close with film.
The Tropical-Urban Imagination: Ancestral Presences in Caribbean Literature
Authors: Lutchmansingh Hannah
Published: September 2018

This paper examines certain choices that Caribbean-born women make in forming and or rejecting connections to various foreign communities. Migration is examined as a stimulus to creative vision. By analyzing the literary evocations of Caribbean women’s struggle with issues of displacement, refusal and their desire to find a place of their own, this paper explores the psycho-social impacts of empire and exile on black female bodies. In the selected narratives, there is the possibility for liberation that is afforded through a spatialization of memory, which bears the potential to confront and exorcise buried hurts and anxieties. As such, specific focus is given to the correlation between material and spirit dimensions in Erna Brodber’s novel, Myal (1988) and Patricia Powell’s short-story, “Travelling” (2015). The inquiry demonstrates how a return to timeless and all-pervasive ancestral presences may lead to an awakening from spiritual paralysis of essentialist and material ideologies. Moreover, the project scrutinizes how a comingling of carnal and divine realms influences woman’s quality to forgive. This pursuit is achieved through a methodological approach of qualitative content analysis. Fittingly, it draws on mythic notions of time and collective memory, as espoused by Wilson Harris in The Womb of Space.

“Footprint”: The Apocalyptic Imprint of End as Immanent in Atwood’s Oryx and Crake
Authors: Dillon Denise B.
Published: September 2018

In her speculative fiction novel, Oryx and Crake, Atwood explores and challenges readers with visions of loss: the extinction of life forms, of culture, and loss of human control over various systems including those of language, economy and ecology. All such systems are prone to human manipulative influence and sensitive to minor alterations that result in major disruptions and ultimately to extinction, disappearance (both forms of loss) or, at best, altered forms of survival. I consider here McKibben’s suggestion that we live in a “postnatural world” because human activity has altered things as fundamental as the weather, and explore Atwood’s depiction of some of the consequences of a human-altered future in which a great city transforms into a harsh, tropical wilderness. I also apply Buell’s notion that apocalyptic rhetoric serves to alert people to global environmental threats by arousing their imagination to a “sense of crisis,” through this “master metaphor”. If only perceptions to threats are sufficiently aroused such that people are spurred to action, real apocalypse might thereby be delayed.  Buell expresses the view that the environmental imagination has a sure role in how people might be able to adapt to transformations in the environment by gaining understanding of what the human relation to nature can be and what it should be. The notion of apocalypse is a strong and enduring theme in literature and is of particular relevance to speculative fiction pertaining to human desire to exercise ultimate control, as is Oryx and Crake.
Indigenous alder based farming practices in Nagaland, India: A sustainable agricultural model
Authors: Kehie Mechuselie
Published: September 2018

Traditional alder (Alnus nepalensis) based agroforestry system is an age-old ecological farming practice of some indigenous tribes viz., Angami, Chakhesang, Chang, Yimchunger and Konyak of Nagaland state in India. Alder is a deciduous or semi-deciduous tree naturally grown throughout the Himalayas. In this system of farming, crops are grown as intercrop with alder trees. Agricultural crops co-cultivated with alder, forms a very remunerative agroforestry system. Alder does not require high soil fertility and hence, conversion of wasteland into agricultural land through this system is very much practicable. This system is an outstanding sustainable model of land use evolved through numerous years of testing among the indigenous tribes of Nagaland. The present review presents a comprehensive overview of indigenous alder based farming practices in Nagaland. Furthermore, the paper also describes the opportunities, challenges and future research directions towards developing and utilizing this model for sustainable agriculture.

Assessment of hepatoprotective activity of coded plant (222) leaf ethanolic extract against carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity in Wistar rats – Part IV
Authors: N M Krishnakumar
Published: September 2018

The present study was designed to assess the possible hepatoprotective activity of the leaf ethanolic extract of coded plant (Code No. 222**) against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced hepatic injury in Wistar albino rats. The animals were divided into different groups and treated with 222 leaf ethanolic extract at different concentrations for five days. Silymarin, the known hepatoprotective standard compound (100 mg/kg) was administered for five days. Hepatotoxicity was induced by the subcutaneous administration of a single dose of CCl4: Olive oil (2 mL/kg) on days 2 and 3. The administration of CCl4 resulted in marked increase in serum hepatic enzymes such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and serum bilirubin levels. CCl4 intoxication also resulted in a significant (P=0.05) increase in malondialdehyde (MDA), which is a common marker of lipid peroxidation. The other biochemical parameters such as cholesterol, triglycerides, creatinine, urea and uric acid levels were also increased significantly (P=0.05) compared to normal control group. Changes in serum hepatic enzymes, biochemical parameters and MDA levels induced by CCl4 were reversed by the leaf ethanolic extract of 222 (125 mg/kg) dose. The standard drug silymarin treated group also reversed CCl4-induced changes in biomarkers of liver function and MDA levels. Histopathological studies of the liver samples confirmed the hepatoprotective property of the coded drug 222. It was seen that histopathological damage induced by CCl4 were improved in rat liver, treated with 222 extract. The results of the present study suggested that coded plant (222) leaf ethanolic extract may be used as a hepatoprotective agent against toxic effects caused carbon tetrachloride in the liver.

Dos de ellas dedicadas a la identidad cultural religiosa y una a generar identidad cultural indígena. El objetivo del presente estudio es identificar factores de éxito adoptados en otros países que puedan aportar al desarrollo y crecimiento de la televisión comunitaria en Ecuador. Para la presente investigación se seleccionaron artículos científicos de revistas de alto impacto con estudios de televisión comunitaria en América Latina, Asia y Europa realizados en los últimos cinco años. Se realizó una revisión descriptiva de los aspectos más relevantes resultantes de los estudios y se compararon con investigaciones realizadas en Ecuador. La percepción de la audiencia es que la televisión comunitaria les genera identidad cultural, pero no se sienten identificados con los presentadores ni periodistas del canal. Como conclusión se identificaron y describieron algunos aspectos claves que pueden beneficiar a la televisión comunitaria ecuatoriana como: (a) las alianzas con otras televisoras comunitarias, proveedoras de cable, interface y televisoras locales, (b) ampliación a medios digitales, (c) basar los contenidos comunitarios en las funciones lingüísticas emotivas y apelativas para fidelizar a la audiencia, y (d) los contenidos deben reflejar la vida diaria de la audiencia.

The
present study summarizes information on the stranding common dolphin, Delphinus delphis, off the Sinop
peninsula and also describes information on the weight-length relationships of
the common dolphin in the center Black Sea, Turkey for the first time. During the research period, a total of 10 D. delphis were examined as stranding
off Sinop Peninsula. It was determined that a lot of water birds species (Great cormorant) were seen as died on
the sea coast during the dolphin survey. The death reasons of the common
dolphin were drowned after the catching the nets and it is also suspected that
death reason of common dolphins is water pollution. The length weight relationship
(WLRs) of D. delphis determined as
Log (W) = 2.2898 L - 2.6501, r2
= 0.9959 (n = 7). It is important that standing
levels of Cetaceans living in the Black Sea in terms of protection efforts. It
is also important to investigate the causes of death. Focusing on these topics
in subsequent studies will be important for the protection of endangered (Phocoena phocoena and Tursiops truncatus) and vulnerable (D. delphis) cetaceans in the Black Sea.

Skeletonema costatum one type of phytoplankton commonly cultivated in the shrimp hatchery (Penaeus monodon Fabr.). Plankton S. costatum has a high nutrient content, small size is used as a natural feed of tiger shrimp larvae, especially in the zoea to mysis stadia. The aim of this research is to know the effect of inorganic fertilizer (NPK+Silicate) with dosage of 5 ppm, 15 ppm and 20 ppm to the density of S. costatum on tiger shrimp. The study was conducted for 2 weeks in July 2011 at UPTD Balai Benih Ikan Pantai Muna, Ghonebalano village, Duruka district, Muna regency, Southeast Sulawesi. The experiment used a 3-liter volume on stoples, a salinity water of 20 ppm. The study used Completely Randomized Design (RAL) with NPK and Silicate treated fertilizer with 5 ppm, 10 ppm (control), 15 ppm and 20 ppm with 3 replications. The initial density of S. costatum was 10,000 cells mL-1 per unit. The data were analyzed by ANOVA using IBM SPSS Statistic 22. The results showed that inorganic fertilizer application (NPK+Silicate) with different dose gave a very real effect on the density of S. costatum cells. Treatment of 15 ppm fertilizer dosage was significantly different with control and other treatment, average cell density was 121,000 cells mL-1. Based on cell growth, the 15 ppm fertilizer dosage has the best growth with an average cell increase of 1,2705 cells mL-1 day-1.

One of the factors that affect the growth of tiger shrimp is the quality of feed. Nutrient content in feed such as protein, carbohydrate and fat, generally used as a parameter of feed quality. Feed consumed by shrimp is not all digested, one of which depends on the enzymatic ability of the shrimp digestive tract. The use of probiotic bacteria in addition to having the ability to reduce colonies, inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria, and neutralize water quality, probiotic bacteria can help digestibility of the intestine. The aim of this research is to know the growth and survival of post larvae of shrimp (Penaeus monodon Fabr.) Through the provision of probiotics with different doses. The research was conducted at Balai Fish Fishing Hall of Muna Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Post larva shrimp tiger (PL-20) of 120 tails, maintained for 28 days. The tested treatment was probiotic dose 5 ml (treatment A), dose 10 ml treatment B), dose 15 ml (treatment C), and without probiotics (control). Probiotics are given every 7 days on water maintenance media using a pipette (0.5-20 ml scale). Weighing results showed relatively high post-larva shrimp larvae growth of 400.00% (treatment B); 291.67% (treatment C); of 233.33% (treatment A) and equal to 58.33% (Control). Variation analysis result showed that giving of probiotic with different dose gave real effect (P<0,01) to relative growth of postlarva prawn weights (P. monodon Fabr.). Provision of probiotics has no significant effect on postlarva tiger prawn survival rate (P. monodon Fabr.). The survival rate of post larvae of tiger shrimp during the study was in the range 66.67-83.33%.

El área de la biotecnología representa una gran importancia en la aplicación de diversos estudios científicos, uno de ellos son lacasas ya que estas son enzimas fenoloxidasas sintetizadas por organismos como insectos, bacterias, plantas y hongos en especial los de pudrición blanca. La función fisiológica de las lacasas no ha sido comprendida totalmente, pero se conoce que son caracterizadas por su capacidad de degradar compuestos fenólicos. En diversos estudios reportan que las lacasas no tienen un sustrato especifico por lo que les permite transformar materia y en algunos casos mineralizar por completo gran variedad de agentes xenobioticos y recalcitrantes. Por este motivo su estudio se ha intensificado en los últimos años, proponiendo así posibles aplicaciones que ayuden a crecer el conocimiento e información de estas. El presente trabajo es una contribución con inclinación hacia la gran gama de productos y aplicaciones como en: industrias, uso químico y clínico y del medio ambiente.

Published: September 2018

Sin duda alguna el clima está cambiando debido al aumento de la concentración de gases de efecto invernadero en la atmósfera provocado por la acción humana. Dichos cambios van a tener un efecto importante en algunas actividades humanas tales como la agricultura y también pueden afectar enormemente la distribución geográfica de los organismos vivos y por tanto sus interacciones. Las hormigas y las plantas tienen una larga historia evolutiva de interacción. La actividad de las hormigas y su relación con las plantas en los últimos años ha tenido un número creciente de estudios que están poniendo de relieve su papel benéfico. Predecir los cambios en la distribución geográfica futura que presentarán las especies interactuantes, utilizando herramientas matemáticas e informáticas como los "modelos d distribución de especies" ante el cambio en las condiciones climáticas, a partir del conocimiento que tenemos acerca de su distribución actual es de suma importancia. Los efectos que el cambio climático provocará en las interacciones entre especies constituyen un reto para los científicos y es de vital importancia.
