Authors: Yuya Beyan Ahmed , Daba Nano Alemu
Published: June 2018

Agricultural technologies are seen as an important route out of poverty in most of the developing countries. However, the rates of adoption of these technologies have remained low in most of these countries. This study aim at shedding some light on an evaluation of climate mitigation agricultural adoption technologies, and its contribution to rural livelihood outcomes in Gurawa district using cross sectional data collected from randomly selected 180 sample households during the 2016 crop production season. Multivariate probit and Propensity score matching was used to identify impacts of adoption technologies, and to identify factors affecting smallholder farmers‘ multiple technology adoption decisions. The results showed that the probability of adoption of agricultural technologies are influenced by several factors: family size, economical active members, education level, age of the household head, social status, soil fertility status, distance from extension office, land holding, distance to markets and distance to weather road. The impact evaluation results indicated that on average, the participation household in soil conservation has increased food security status and asset accumulation nearly by 38% and 15%, respectively, however it decreases the rate of poverty nearly by 51 percent. Use of improved seeds increased food security status and decreased poverty rate nearly by 38% and 44%, respectively. On the other hand, use of irrigation technology increased food security status and asset accumulation nearly by 23% and 31.8%, respectively, whereas it decreases the rate of poverty nearly by 29 percent. Similarly, adoption of row planting methods increased food security status and asset accumulation nearly by 28.7% and 15.5%, respectively, whereas it decreases the rate of poverty nearly by 51.5 percent. Therefore, policy makers should give due emphasis to the aforementioned variables to increase adoption technologies and improve the livelihood of the rural households.

Published: June 2018

Ülkemize özgü geleneksel fermente bitkisel ürünlerimizden biri olan şalgam suyu üretimi ile ilgili standart bir teknik ve kullanılan sıcaklık bulunmamaktadır. Bununla beraber Adana, İçel, Hatay gibi illerimizde oldukça popüler olan şalgam suyu üretiminde genellikle endüstriyel boyutta geleneksel yöntem adı verilen bir yöntem kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, şalgam suyu üretiminde geleneksel yöntem kullanılarak farklı sıcaklığın mikrobiyal flora üzerine etkisine bakılmıştır. Bu amaçla öncelikle hamur fermantasyonu gerçekleştirilerek ekstrakt elde edilmiş ve ardından diğer hammaddeler ile karıştırılarak havuç fermantasyonu farklı sıcaklıklarda (10Â°C, 22Â°C ve 35Â°C) gerçekleştirilmiştir. Denemelerde fermantasyon sırasında ortamda bulunan laktik asit bakterileri (LAB), toplam mezofil aerob bakteri (TMAB), koliform bakteri (KB) ve toplam maya (TM) sayıları belirlenmiştir. Fermantasyonun başlamasıyla beraber LAB, TMAB ve TM sayılarında artış ve KB sayısında bir azalma gözlenmiştir. İlave olarak farklı sıcaklık uygulaması, havuç fermantasyonunun süresi üzerinde de önemli derecede etkiye neden olmuştur. Sıcaklık arttıkça fermantasyon süresi kısalmıştır.

Towards Ultracold Chiral Molecules
Authors: Isaev Timur A. , Berger Robert
Published: June 2018

Atoms can be cooled and trapped efficiently with the help of lasers. So-called Doppler cooling takes advantage of momentum transfer upon absorption and emission of photons and of Doppler shifts to facilitate effectively closed optical absorption–emission loops, by which atoms
are slowed down and cooled. Due to the wealth of internal degrees of freedom accessible in molecules, it was assumed for a long time that similarly closed optical loops cannot be realised for molecules. After an early theoretical proposal by Di Rosa for diatomic molecules, such cooling has
been achieved in this decade for SrF, YO, CaF and YbF. It has been outlined recently that also polyatomic molecules should be coolable with lasers and classes of molecules expected to be amenable to this have been proposed by the present authors. Experimental success in laser cooling of SrOH
has been reported. The status of cooling polyatomic molecules with lasers and the prospects for obtaining ultracold chiral molecules is reviewed herein.
On the Density of Racemic and Homochiral Crystals: Wallach, Liebisch and Sommerfeld in Göttingen
Authors: Ernst Karl-Heinz
Published: June 2018

The first comparison of heterochiral crystals with their homochiral counterparts was given by Otto Wallach in an account on carvone bromide crystals in 1895 in Liebigs Annalen der Chemie. Although the well-known mineralogist Theodor Liebisch, professor in Göttingen from
1887 to 1908, performed the analyses and wrote the last four pages of that Annalen paper, his colleague from chemistry, Wallach served as sole author. We discuss whether Wallach or Liebisch had the idea of a comparative study of crystal densities of racemates and their homochiral analogues and who of the two should be credited.
Boehmite Nanofibers as a Dispersant for Nanotubes in an Aqueous Sol
Authors: Hayase Gen
Published: June 2018

By exploiting the dispersibility and rigidity of boehmite nanofibers (BNFs) with a high aspect ratio of 4 nm in diameter and several micrometers in length, multiwall-carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were successfully dispersed in aqueous solutions. In these sols, the MWCNTs were dispersed at a ratio of about 5–8% relative to BNFs. Self-standing BNF–nanotube films were also obtained by filtering these dispersions and showing their functionality. These films can be expected to be applied to sensing materials.

Cs Retention and Diffusion in C-S-H at Different Ca/Si Ratios
Authors: Duque-Redondo Eduardo , Yamada Kazuo , López-Arbeloa Iñigo , Manzano Hegoi
Published: June 2018

Cement and concrete have been widely used as a barrier to isolate many types of contaminants, including radioactive waste, in repository sites. Nevertheless, the intrusion of groundwater in those nuclear repositories may release those contaminants by leaching mechanisms. Because of this, the retention and diffusion processes in cement matrix require to be analyzed in depth. The adsorption in cement and C‐S-H gel, its main hydration product, is influenced by factors as the pH, the composition or the alkali and alkaline earth content. In this work, molecular dynamics simulations were employed to study the role of Ca/Si ratio of the C‐S‐H in the capacity to retain Cs and diffusivity of these ions in gel pores. For that purpose, we built four different C‐S‐H models with Ca/Si ratios from 1.1 to 2.0. The results indicate better cationic retention at low Ca/Si ratios due to the interaction of the cations with the bridging silicate tetrahedrons. However, the average diffusion coefficients of the cations decrease at higher Ca/Si ratios because the high ionic constraint in the nanopore that induces a longrange ordering of the water molecules.
Distinctive Diffusion Regimes of Organic Molecules in Clays: (De)coupled Motion with Water
Authors: Duque-Redondo Eduardo , López-Arbeloa Iñigo , Manzano Hegoi
Published: June 2018

The combination of organic and inorganic components enables the development of new generation of materials with innovative applications in many fields. Clays are commonly used to confine different ions and molecules since they act as an engineering barrier, avoiding the release of the entrapped species. In this work, we have employed molecular dynamics simulations to study the diffusivity of a variety of organic molecules enclosed in the interlaminar space of clays. We have found that the diffusivity of the organic molecules follows a universal trend, exhibiting low diffusion coefficients at low water contents, which are radically increased at a certain water content. This onset of diffusion is due to the rearrangement of the water molecules from monolayer to bilayer. At that point, the motion of the water/guest molecule cluster is decoupled, leading to the sharp increase of the diffusion coefficients.

Published: June 2018

In order to establish more appropriate tourism strategies, the data on tourists' traveler behavior (e.g. tourist site destination choices, trip-chain making and tour choices, and dwelling time at each spot) would be quite informative. Traditional paper-based questionnaire survey or GPS-based survey methods may not be suitable for large spatial scale analysis of tourists' travel choices because of its high costs and inefficiency. On the other hand, there have been recent several applications of Wi-Fi based approach for human monitoring or travel survey. This study seeks applicability of Wi-Fi based continuous monitoring technology for collecting tourists’ travel behavior through the data analysis from two large-scale field experiments in Japan. Monitoring equipment has been located into some popular spots and transport nodes in two popular sightseeing districts (Central Hokkaido and Main Island of Okinawa) during tourist season. After appropriately cleansing the full records at each site to obtain the dataset of probably tourists, we explore (i) day-to-day/within-day variation of tourists’ concentration across different places; (ii) staying duration of tourists at each site; and (iii) spatio-temporal patterns of tourist movements partially checking the validity of the data collected from Wi-Fi with actual observations of tourist count. The future possibility of the model development of tour patterns with machine learning techniques and discrete choice approaches are also discussed.
El Direccionamiento Estratégico de las IES en el Ecuador Apalancado en las TIC. Caso: Universidad Estatal De Milagro
Authors: Vinueza Martinez Jorge
Published: June 2018

En la actualidad las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES) del Ecuador y otros países de América Latina carecen, dentro de la gestión administrativa, de una metodología básica que promueva la formulación, medición, control y seguimiento estandarizado, a corto, mediano y largo plazo, de los Planes Institucionales. Esto genera la necesidad de diseñar e implementar un Modelo de Gestión Estratégica y Operativa para la Universidad Estatal de Milagro, UNEMI, como parte del Sistema Integral de Planificación, ya que la evaluación estandarizada y permanente es un proceso intrínseco que debe reflejar la obtención de resultados de calidad, basados en objetivos e iniciativas cuantificables, y obtenidos mediante técnicas de medición que cuantifiquen el logro de los objetivos planteados. Además se devela la falta de definición de procesos basados en TIC y sistemas de información que optimicen el seguimiento y control de los programas y proyectos. La evaluación y seguimiento en el direccionamiento estratégico son fundamentales para medir el logro de resultados; sin herramientas de apoyo de planificación, como: POA [Plan Operativo Anual], PAT [Plan Anual de Tecnología], PAC [Plan Anual de Contrataciones], PAI [Plan Anual de Inversión], difícilmente se cuantificaría de manera exacta el nivel de desempeño de esta institución.

La Facturación Electrónica (F-e) surge por el avance tecnológico, desde la aparición de internet, estos documentos digitales buscan reemplazar a la Factura Tradicional (F-t). Los primeros indicios de facturación electrónica fueron en 1997 a través del Organismo Europe Articule Numbering Associatión (EAN-UCC) actualmente Global System One (GS1). Con la obligatoriedad de aplicar facturación electrónica desde el año 2009, el objetivo de este artículo es evaluar a través de estudios de casos los costos unitarios al emitir facturas tradicionales versus el costo unitario al implementar facturación electrónica. Las variables estudiadas fueron sueldos, suministros, mantenimiento, depreciación en base a los estados financieros reflejados en el formulario 101 ó 102 presentados en el año 2013 al Servicio de Rentas Internas - SRI. Este estudio muestra como los costos para emisión de facturas tradicionales versus facturas electrónicas son variados, la existencia de un ahorro económico al aplicar F-e fluctúa de 32% al 57%, la optimización de costos al cambiar la F-t y la utilidad contable se incrementaría, beneficiando a involucrados como son: la participación de utilidades a los trabajadores, impuesto a la renta y distribución para accionistas. Abstract Electronic Invoicing (EI) arises from technological progress since the advent of the Internet; these digital documents seek to replace the traditional Invoice (TI). The first signs of electronic invoicing were in 1997 through the Organization, Europe Articulate Numbering Association (EAN -UCC) currently Global System One (GS1) which has the obligation to implement electronic invoicing since 2009, the aim of this article is to assess through case studies, the unit costs in issuing traditional bills versus the unit cost by implementing electronic invoicing, the variables studied were: salary, supplies, maintenance, depreciation based on the financial statements reflected on the Form 101 or 102 submitted in 2013 to the Internal Revenue Service - SRI. This study shows how the cost to issue traditional invoices versus electronic invoices are varied and there is an economic saving by applying EI that fluctuates from 32% to 57%, cost optimization by changing the TI and the accounting profits would increase, benefiting to elements such as: profit sharing to workers, income tax and profit sharing to shareholders.

El tiburón azul Prionace glauca es una especie que representa gran importancia económica y ecológica. A pesar de dicha relevancia, la información acerca de biología y demás aspectos relacionados con esta población son escasos, la misma que es necesaria para un manejo adecuado de sus pesquerías. El objetivo de este trabajo fue elaborar una revisión histórica de todos los estudios biológicos, ecológicos y toxicólogicos llevados a cabo en los ecosistemas costeros y marinos del Pacífico ecuatoriano. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de diversos documentos como tesis, informes técnicos, publicaciones científicas, entre otros. De acuerdo con resultados obtenidos, en Ecuador se han efectuado cuatro estudios de investigación científica a partir de 2012: dos de Biología (uno de aspectos reproductivos para Santa Rosa de Salinas y otro de edad y crecimiento para Manta), y dos de Ecología y Toxicología (uno sobre la bioacumulación y biomagnificación de mercurio, y otro sobre la concentración de mercurio y cadmio; ambos realizados en Santa Rosa de Salinas). Los trabajos fueron desarrollados por universidades estatales y privadas a través de tesis, mientras que un borrador de publicación científica estaba en preparación, como parte de un proyecto de investigación de una institución de educación superior particular. Abstract Blue shark Prionace glauca is a species that represents a great economic and ecological importance. However, the information related to its biology and others aspects of its population is limited. Nevertheless these kinds of studies are very important for a suitable management of fishery activities. The aim of this research was to develop a historical review for all biological, ecological and toxicological studies made in the coastal and marine ecosystems of the Ecuadorian Pacific. A review of the specialized literature was carried out for many documents such as thesis, technical reports, scientific papers, and others. According to results obtained, in Ecuador there have been four scientific research studies from 2012: These were two of Biology (one of reproductive aspects in Santa Rosa de Salinas and another about age and growth in Manta) and the others two of Ecology and Toxicology (one on mercury bioaccumulation and bio-magnification of mercury, and another on the concentration of mercury and cadmium; both conducted in Santa Rosa de Salinas). The works were developed by state and private universities through thesis, while a draft was in preparation for scientific publication as part of a research project in a private institution of higher education.

Ecuador es un país rico en cultura y naturaleza, que posee un creciente número de visitantes y turistas nacionales que recorren el país. La actividad turística es necesaria para todas las personas ya que además de ayudar a prevenir el estrés, es una actividad integral que involucra a hombres, mujeres, jóvenes y ancianos que permite tener nuevas experiencias con paisajes, culturas, religión y comidas típicas. La investigación realizada tiene como propósito identificar los factores socioeconómicos que influyen en la toma de decisiones del turista interno para realizar viajes. En esta investigación cuantitativa y descriptiva se aplicaron encuestas para analizar la incidencia de los factores sociales y económicos en el comportamiento del turista al momento de elegir un destino para las vacaciones. Los resultados evidencian que la mayoría de las personas deciden realizar turismo nacional de preferencia por la región de la costa y la sierra, que suelen hospedarse en lugares ofrecidos por los amigos o familiares por lo que sus gastos se enfocan fundamentalmente en alimentación y transporte, y que acuden muy poco a la asesoría de agencias turísticas ya que suelen recorrer lugares conocidos o recomendados por los amigos o parientes. Abstract Ecuador is a rich country in culture and nature, which has a growing number of visitors and national tourists visiting the country. Tourist activity is necessary for all people as well as helping to prevent stress, it is an integral activity that involves men, women, and young and old that allows new experiences with landscapes, cultures, religion and traditional food. The research aims to identify socioeconomic factors that influence the decision making of domestic tourists for trips. In this quantitative and descriptive research, surveys were conducted to analyze the impact of social and economic factors in the behavior of tourists when choosing a destination for holidays. The results show that most people decide to make domestic tourism preferably around the coast and the highland region, and usually stay in places offered by friends or family so their expenses are mainly focused on food and transport, and they look for very little advice from tourist agencies as they often go to known places recommended by friends or relatives.

Bu çalışmada Japon bıldırcınlarının (Coturnix
coturnix japonica) rasyonlarına humat ve maya hücre duvarı ekstraktı
ilavesinin besi performansı, bağırsak mikroflorası ve kan parametreleri üzerine
etkileri incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla günlük yaşta karışık cinsiyette 200 adet Japon bıldırcını (Coturnix
coturnix japonica) civcivi her
birinde 50 civciv bulunan 4 gruba dağıtılarak 42 gün
süreyle beslenmişlerdir. Deneme grupları, sırasıyla kontrol (herhangi
bir yem katkısı içermeyen), kontrol+2 g humat kg-1, kontrol+2 g maya
hücre duvarı ekstraktı kg-1, kontrol+2 g humat kg-1 +2 g
maya hücre duvarı ekstraktı kg-1’dan oluşmuştur. Rasyona humat ve maya hücre duvarı ekstraktının tek
başına ya da birlikte ilavesi 0-21, 22-42 ve
0-42 günlük yaş dönemleri itibariyle ortalama canlı ağırlık, yem tüketimleri,
yem dönüşüm oranları ve ölüm oranları üzerinde önemli derecede etkili
olmamıştır (P>0.05). Sekum mikroflora, karkas ve
kan parametreleri analizleri 42. günde yapılmıştır. Rasyona humat ve maya hücre
duvarı ekstraktının tek başına ya da
birlikte ilavesi karkas randımanı ve
karaciğer, kalp ve taşlık gibi bazı oransal organ ağırlıkları ile sekum Coliform,
Lactobacillus
ve E.coli bakteri sayıları
üzerine etkili olmamıştır (P>0.05). Serum trigliserit, alanin
aminotransferaz (ALT), alkalen fosfataz (ALP), aspartat aminotransferaz (AST),
albumin, toplam protein konsantrasyonu bakımından gruplar arasında farklılık
görülmemiştir (P>0.05). Ancak rasyona humat ve humat+maya hücre duvarı
ekstraktı ilavesi serum toplam kolesterol konsantrasyonunu düşürmüş
(P<0.05), rasyona ilave edilen maya hücre duvarı
ekstraktı ise serum toplam kolesterol konsantrasyonunu düşürme eğilimine
sokmuştur. Bu yem katkı maddelerinin performans ve bağırsak mikroflora üzerine
etkilerini araştırmada yeni araştırma ve yaklaşımlara ihtiyaç vardır.
