DEVELOPMENT OF BIOENERGY POTENTIAL OF HOUSEHOLD WASTE IN THE CONDITIONS OF POST-WAR RECOVERY: ECONOMIC AND LEGAL DIMENSION
Authors:   State Organization “V. Mamutov Institute of Economic and Legal Research of NAS of Ukraine”, Kyiv, Ukraine, Trehub О.A.
Published: November 2022

The present article examines the economic and legal problems of development the bioenergy potential of household waste in the conditions of post-war recovery of Ukraine. The place of various operations on bioenergy use of household waste in the waste hierarchy is specified. There is a need for additional ranking of waste-to-energy operations within the position of the hierarchy denoting other recovery. It is noted that energy use of biogas removed from landfills should not be classified as waste disposal. This article clarifies the features and requirements to produce biogas based on the method of anaerobic digestion. It is proposed to establish special criteria for counting bio-waste as recycled after anaerobic digestion in the Methodology for calculating targets for preparing for reuse and recycling of household waste. The article concentrates on analyzing features of production and use of waste derived fuels (RDF and SRF). Biogenic fractions of household waste are an integral component of these types of fuel, so large-scale use of RDF and SRF can cause anaerobic digestion to slow down. Aspects of the impact of RDF and SRF on air quality and climate are considered. It is shown that the European Union has decided to follow the path of limiting the incineration of waste. Special attention is given to the draft Law of Ukraine of 3 June 2021 No. 5611 «On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Energy Waste Recovery». Conclusions regarding the shortcomings of this draft Law are made. Offers to improve the legal framework for biogas collection from landfills are substantiated. At the legislative level, it is necessary to establish the priority of the energy use of biogas collected from landfills.
MODELS OF INNOVATIVE ACTIVITY
Authors:   LLC “Institute of Innovative Bioeconomics”, Kyiv, Ukraine, Oleksenko L.V.
Published: November 2022

The models of the innovation process are analyzed, which are purely structural and are characterized by a significant simplification of ideas about the innovation process, ignoring information and management flows, disruption of some dynamic relationships and sequences of functions. However, such simplified models make it possible to apply the principles of process management methodology and identify “bottlenecks” of the innovation process: cost centers, duplication of functions, as well as the absence or incompleteness of information. The first model of the innovation process “technological push” — is described as a linear sequence of cyclically repeating stages. In the second model of the innovation process — “market challenge” — the market is a source of innovative ideas and forms an order for innovative development, which is transferred either to the corporate research center of the company that conducted marketing research, or external research structure — university, laboratory, etc. The third model of the innovation process is to identify logically consistent, functionally separate, but interacting and interdependent stages. This model is a combination of the first and second with an emphasis on the relationship of technological capabilities and capabilities with market needs and is implemented at the meso-level. The fourth model of the innovation process is the Japanese model of best practices, which focuses on the parallel activities of integrated groups, external horizontal and vertical links. The choice of the basic model of innovation is largely due to historically established institutional systems. Because of the conducted research, the process of creation of the Center of transfer of technologies for commercialization of results of the scientific researches and developments received with use of means of the state budget and functions, which it will carry out, is offered. Public-private partnership programs in industrialized countries are analyzed, which stimulate close contacts between the scientific and industrial sectors of the economy and focus public research on industrial innovation. We also proposed the concept of iterative marketing — which is repeated throughout the innovation cycle of a set of specific activities, the result of which is the active formation of the product or service and future markets for its consumption.
A Shekinah entre as mulheres na Igreja e Teologia
Authors: Silva Aline Amaro da , Machado Elisangela Pereira
Published: November 2022

Em continuidade da pesquisa: “Mulheres na Teologia Brasileira”, o presente artigo focaliza a questão do espaço feminino na Igreja e Teologia. Entretanto, não é qualquer ambiente de ou para mulheres, o consideramos uma shekinah, isto é, habitação feminina de Deus na história. Desse modo, traça-se um breve panorama histórico das tendas do Antigo Testamento às telas da era digital. Através de pesquisa bibliográfica, o estudo analisa a trajetória feminina por espaços de fala e protagonismo no pensar, ensinar e viver a fé cristã. Traz exemplos de algumas mulheres cristãs que romperam o silêncio e não puderam deixar de serem notadas nos contextos bíblicos e contemporâneos. A partir do olhar dos primeiros tempos da tradição judaico-cristã aos dias atuais, a questão que norteia a investigação consiste em: existe uma autêntica shekinah feminina na Igreja e Teologia Católicas? Se verificou que sempre houve uma forte e engajada presença feminina na comunidade cristã, ainda que nem sempre reconhecida e destacada. Existem atualmente espaços legítimos de protagonismo feminino, especialmente nas pastorais e outros de meras lacunas ou cotas para mulheres deixadas nas academias, significando que a shekinah feminina ainda precisa alargar os tecidos da sua tenda.

Authors: Henriques Catarina Gordiano Paes , Dutra-Thomé Luciana , Rosa Edinete Maria
Published: November 2022

O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar as repercussões na infância, na adolescência e na vida adulta da violência emocional intrafamiliar vivenciada no período infanto-juvenil em artigos publicados entre 2009 e 2019, por meio de uma revisão sistemática de literatura. Para a organização dos dados, utilizou-se o software Zotero; para a sistematização e análises, o software SPSS (versão 2.3). Na infância e na adolescência, as principais repercussões foram sintomas internalizantes (ex.: ansiedade, depressão, problemas psicossomáticos, insegurança), problemas cognitivo-comportamentais e impactos no rendimento escolar. Na idade adulta, as principais repercussões foram sintomas externalizantes (ex.: agressividade, reprodução da violência) e sintomas internalizantes. Conclui-se que a violência emocional vivenciada na infância e na adolescência é transcultural, transgeracional e um fator de risco para o desenvolvimento, podendo ocasionar prejuízos cognitivo-comportamentais e interferir nos relacionamentos interpessoais ao longo do ciclo de vida. Tornar visível este tipo de violência contribui para enfrentamento e minimização dos efeitos negativos da violência.

Authors: eyes-Flores Alessandra R , Mezura-Godoy Carmen , Benítez-Guerrero Edgard , Gerardo Montané-Jiménez Luis
Published: November 2022

Technologies that support co-located collaboration must not only provide a shared workspace, but also support collaboration. From an observational study, some collaboration problems were identified in groups of people working in a system with a Tangible User Interface. Some of these problems could be identified and prevented with the support of Coaching System. This system encourages interactions between group members through Social Interventions. To develop a Coaching System, it is necessary to know the cohesion between the members of the group, in order to decide the appropriate Social Interventions. In this paper, a model is proposed to represent the social interactions that occur in a group of people when performing a task. Interactions can be analyzed to determine the degree of cohesiveness of a group and support the collaboration.
A survey study of lawyers' and interpreters' approaches to interactional management in interpreted lawyer-client interviews in Australia
Authors: Xu Han
Published: November 2022

Canvassing views through a questionnaire-based online survey of 25 lawyers and 85 interpreters working in Australia, the present study investigates the approaches to interactional management employed by both lawyers and interpreters in interpreter-facilitated legal aid interviews. Specifically, the study examines lawyers' and interpreters' efforts at coordination before and during interpreted interviews, as well as interpreters' success in complying with ethical principles, and lawyers' knowledge of how to work with interpreters. The findings show that lawyers had a good understanding of their responsibilities when working with interpreters and played the role of coordinator by actively managing turn-taking and monitoring interpreting quality. Although most of the interpreter respondents performed to the ethical standards expected, some knowingly violated ethical principles by engaging in side conversations with the clients or by summarising rather than interpreting fully. The study further found statistically significant correlations between interpreters' level of professional qualifications and their competence in managing interactions and following ethical principles, which highlights the importance of training and professional accreditation for maintaining professional standards among interpreters.
Exploring booth-mates’ teamwork in the time of a pandemic: A case study
Authors: Zhu Yuben
Published: November 2022

Co-location is a crucial precondition for simultaneous interpreters' teamwork. However, it is becoming increasingly difficult to secure amid the COVID-19 pandemic, as conference interpreters across the world are forced to embrace distance interpreting due to anti-covid public health measures. This article aims to examine how the disruption to co-location during the pandemic has changed interpreters' teamwork. Drawing on the analytic framework of Pre-process, Peri-process, In-process, and Post-process proposed by Sylvia Kalina (2002), the study explores changing reality in China by combining micro- and macro analysis in a case study involving 136 conference interpreters in the country. Results show that the pandemic has unleashed unprecedented disruption to interpreters' teamwork in spite of their proactive efforts to maintain it. More specifically, a new teamwork pattern featuring major shifts in collaboration themes, division of roles, and fewer benefits is emerging. Findings from the research may shed light on changing realities not only in China, but possibly in the wider world. Practical suggestions and future research needs are also identified.
Exploring the effects of personality hardiness on interpreters' performance with interpreting anxiety as a mediator: An explanatory sequential mixed-methods study
Authors: Xing Xing , Zeng Hua
Published: November 2022

Interpreting is a highly stressful activity and interpreters are accordingly expected to be stress-resistant. The stress-coping trait of personality hardiness predicts attainments in domains of the military, sport and so on. Adopting a mixed-methods approach, the present study was an attempt to explore whether personality hardiness facilitates interpreting performance in a sample of Chinese postgraduate student interpreters (n = 149) as it does in the aforementioned high-stress contexts. Based on the Hardiness Model, this study positioned interpreting anxiety as a mediator. Analysis of quantitative data suggested that personality hardiness not only correlated to but also predicted interpreting performance. Meanwhile, interpreting anxiety played a mediating effect on the link between personality hardiness and interpreting performance. Follow-up semi-structured interviews provided additional information regarding interviewees' perceptions and behavior during stressful interpreting situations, helping to explain and expand upon the initial quantitative results. Implications of the findings were also discussed.
How does interpreting performance correlate with note-taking process, note-taking product and note-reading process? An eye-tracking and pen-recording study
Authors: Kuang Huolingxiao , Zheng Binghan
Published: November 2022

This paper explores relationships between consecutive interpreting (CI) performance on the one hand, and interpreters' note-taking effort, note-taking product and note-reading effort, on the other hand. 20 professionals and 29 students consecutively interpreted two easy segments and two difficult segments in an English (L2) speech, with their eye fixations on the notes and handwriting on the digital pad being registered through eye-tracking and pen-recording methods. Both groups' CI performance showed positive but weak correlations with their note quantities in the easy segments, but not in the difficult ones. Almost no significant correlations were found between the students' interpretation quality and effort of note-taking, whereas the professionals' CI performance was negatively correlated with their cognitive effort of note-taking. Significant but weak correlations were observed in both groups between their note-reading effort and interpreting performance, but the students' correlations were mainly found in the difficult segments, and the professionals' correlations were mostly detected in the easy ones. Overall, the interpreters' note-taking behaviour was not closely associated with their interpretation quality, and the associations varied across interpreter groups and task difficulties. These findings suggest that note-taking should be taught more judiciously in interpreter training programs and applied more prudently in interpreting practice.
Simultaneous determination of dantrolene with ibuprofen and diclofenac in plasma by HPLC-DAD: Application to comparative pharmacokinetic study
Authors: Abdel Moneim Mona M.
Published: November 2022

Muscle relaxants and pain killers with their different types are widely used as combination approach for treatment of pain associated with several muscle spasm conditions. A sensitive and simple HPLC-UV detection method was developed in this work for simultaneous assay of Dantrolene (DNT) and co-administrated: Ibuprofen (IBU) and Diclofenac (DIC). After simple protein precipitation, separation was achieved using C18 column (150 × 4.6 mm) with a mobile phase of acidified water with orthophosphoric acid (pH = 3.5) and acetonitrile using gradient elution with a flow rate of 1 mL/min. The DAD was adjusted at 380, 219, 280 and 240 nm to measure DNT, IBU, DIC, and dexamethasone (internal standard), respectively. Linearity was demonstrated over the range from 0.1 to 3 μg/mL, 1 to 40 μg/mL, and 0.1 to 2 μg/mL for DNT, IBU, and DIC, respectively. The validated method was applied successfully to compare the effect of co-administration of IBU or DIC on the pharmacokinetic profile of DNT.
The vocational education sector in relation to labour market expectations. The analysis of the results of an international student survey
Authors: Kwiatkowska-Ciotucha Dorota , Załuska Urszula
Published: November 2022

The article presents an analysis of the results of a survey conducted in 2022 among students and young graduates of three vocational education courses, studying in EU countries (N = 428). The area of research concerns the awareness of competencies sought-after by employers and the self-assessed level of these competencies. The authors used tests of the equality of two means in order to check for differences in assessments according to the respondents’ metric characteristics, and also factor analysis to check for similarities in attitudes towards different types of competencies in the respondents’ assessments. Finding such similarities would allow to use a summative scale and reduce the dimensions.
SMS z nieba, czyli mini-homilie o maxi-sprawach. Tekstowe formy para-kaznodziejskie w mediach społecznościowych
Authors: Draguła Andrzej
Published: November 2022

Ewangelizacja w mediach społecznościowych (szerzej: w mediach elektronicznych) przybiera formy wizualne, jak i tekstowe. Do tych ostatnich należy zaliczyć SMS, tweet czy post na Facebooku. Ich formalne podobieństwo wynika przede wszystkim z długości wpisów, których istotną cechą jest zwięzłość (brevitas), domagająca się krótkości tekstu. Do wyznaczników genologicznych tych form należy również zaliczyć: podobieństwo do komentarza, związek z tekstem biblijnym, brak komponentu liturgicznego oraz pierwotność formy tekstowej. Autor postuluje więc używanie wobec analizowanych form zbiorczego pojęcia „formy para-kaznodziejskie”, a nie „formy kaznodziejskie”, ponieważ brak im istotnego wyznacznika, jakim jest wygłoszenie.
MOBILIZING LINGUISTIC AND SEMIOTIC RESOURCES, CONSTRUCTING IDENTITIES IN LOCAL LIFE WORLDS: MIGRANT WORKERS FROM TIMOR-LESTE AND THEIR FOOTBALL CLUBS
Authors: Cabral Estêvão , Martin-Jones Marilyn
Published: November 2022

ABSTRACT This paper is based on research of a sociolinguistic and ethnographic nature, which was carried out with young migrants from Timor-Leste, who were based in a small town in Northern Ireland (CABRAL; MARTIN-JONES, 2017). Through this research we traced their migration trajectories (via Portugal or England), and we documented the agentive ways in which they were dealing with local conditions of settlement and employment, and, at the same time, creating new spaces of solidarity and conviviality within local life worlds. We focus here on one particular life world – that of sport – and on the nine football clubs formed for Timorese men and boys in this local Irish setting. We describe and analyse three different aspects of the communicative practices that were developing around the football: (1.) The linguistic, cultural and semiotic practices involved in the naming and branding of the clubs e.g., practices that indexed different Timorese identities (from different regions of Timor-Leste) and practices that indexed different globalised cultural worlds of football; (2.) the language resources of the Timorese club managers (including Tetum, Portuguese and English), and their organisational practices, their ethos and their funds of knowledge; (3.) the significance of the scheduling of football tournaments around key dates in the establishment of the nation of Timor-Leste – a regular practice that indexed an orientation to a shared national origin.

Published: November 2022

RESUMO O presente artigo parte de um estudo de caso sobre um projeto de alfabetização e literacia em português língua não materna com adultos imigrantes. O projeto é dinamizado por um coletivo informal que realiza inúmeras iniciativas de apoio à comunidade de um bairro de habitação precária na periferia de Lisboa, onde se observam processos sociais de significativa marginalização da sua população. Neste contexto, analisamos o projeto de alfabetização e literacia no período 2016-2020, com o objetivo de perceber como este tem respondido às necessidades educativas e sociais dos educandos. O estudo de caso assente numa abordagem qualitativa através da realização de entrevistas semi-diretivas aplicadas a seis educandos (2021), procedido da análise de arquivo das aulas (2016-2020). Neste artigo, discutiremos como a diversidade de perfis sociolinguísticos, tanto dos educadores como dos educandos, impacta no projeto de alfabetização e literacia do coletivo. Pretende-se analisar como os diferentes atores envolvidos mobilizam recursos e ultrapassam as suas dificuldades em contexto de ensino não formal, num território caracterizado por mobilidades internacionais contínuas, perfis e práticas comunicativas multilingues, níveis de escolaridades nulos ou baixos, e situações socioeconómicas particularmente vulneráveis. Observa-se que o projeto tem proporcionado possibilidades de contactos linguísticos e práticas de literacia em português, através do diálogo socialmente contextualizado entre todos os envolvidos (educandos e educadores), sendo sobretudo um espaço de socialização relevante face às inúmeras dificuldades materiais tanto dos educandos como do contexto de aprendizagem.

Resumen Objetivo: analizar los relatos de los enfermeros sobre el cuidado de la salud de los adolescentes gays. Método: estudio cualitativo, anclado en el Análisis Temático de Clarke y Braun, adoptando el Interaccionismo Simbólico como marco teórico, ya que favorece la aprehensión de la relación de comportamientos, interacciones y significados sociales. Fueron entrevistados remotamente 12 enfermeros, reclutados a partir de la técnica de bola de nieve, por medio de la plataforma de video Google Meet ® . Resultados: a lo largo del proceso comprensivo-interpretativo, se elaboraron cuatro temas: “Adolescente gay, pautas y relación con la salud”; “La familia del adolescente gay y el cuidado”; “Relación con adolescente gay en el cuidado” y “Límites para el cuidado de enfermería al adolescente gay”. Conclusión: las narrativas denuncian los estigmas y símbolos derivados de la cisheteronormatividad como intervinientes de la relación e indican la urgencia de apuestas en el encuentro intersubjetivo con los adolescentes gays y sus familiares en relación horizontal, afectiva y empática, con posibilidades de favorecer la defensa pública del derecho a la salud. Hay apuntes para la actitud de los enfermeros y calificación del cuidado a esa población.
Afrosymetric method for quantifying saponins in Chenopodium Quinoa Willd. from Colombia
Authors: Morillo A. C. , Manjarres E. H. , Mora M. S.
Published: November 2022

Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is a pseudocereal that, in addition to presenting good nutritional characteristics in the grain, has secondary metabolites in the episperm of the seeds and, within them, saponins. Saponins are characterized by being emulsifying, foaming and generating a bitter taste. This metabolite has not been completely studied in quinoa materials from Colombia. For this reason, the objective of this research was to quantify the content of saponins present in quinoa materials from the department of Boyacá using three afrosimetric methods. For this, a completely randomized design (CRD) was implemented with a factorial arrangement of 3 (afrosimetric methods) x 5 (quinoa materials). From the quantification of saponins, it was determined that the Amarilla de maranganí genotype, was the one that presented the highest content in all the evaluated methods; the standard afrosimetric method being the most efficient. Finally, the conglomerate analysis allowed to discriminate the materials in sweet quinoas such as Tunkahuan and Blanca de Jericó with saponin contents lower than 0.06%, and in bitter quinoas (Negra de la Colorada, Dorada and Amarilla de Maranganí) with contents higher than 0.11%. The biochemical characterization of the germplasm will allow a selection of genotypes suitable for consumption and for the industry, given the potential use that saponins currently have.

Published: November 2022

Resumo O artigo tem por objetivo investigar o atual funcionamento do modelo de precedentes brasileiro, consolidado pelo Código de Processo Civil de 2015, principalmente se o mecanismo de julgamento vertical por meio de processos repetitivos nos tribunais superiores vem, efetivamente, produzindo maior coerência e agilidade ao sistema judicial. O estudo envolve a aplicação de metodologias qualitativa e quantitativa na investigação de espaços privilegiados de observação no Tribunal de Justiça do Ceará (TJCE): o Sistema do Núcleo de Gerenciamento de Precedentes (Sisnugep) e a observação do trabalho de aplicação desse modelo de precedentes pelos magistrados. Baseado em um estudo jurimétrico, faz-se uma análise dos processos em trâmite relativos aos temas 766 e 1038 do Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ). Conclui-se, com a análise da amostra extraída pela Associação Brasileira de Jurimetria, que, no âmbito do TJCE, a fixação vertical de teses pelo STJ não está repercutindo necessariamente nos processos locais existentes sobre a mesma temática, seja em relação à ordem de sobrestamento nacional, seja nos efetivos julgamentos. Propõe-se, consequentemente, uma reflexão sobre esse modelo hierarquizado de precedentes e seus efetivos resultados na realidade do funcionamento do Poder Judiciário.

Published: November 2022

Abstract The objective of this work was to characterize the effect of the osmotic potential of the culture medium on the control of direct somatic embryogenesis in coffee (Coffea arabica) tree. Leaf explants of the Mundo Novo cultivar and four hybrids were subjected to the direct route in the presence of polyethylene glycol 6000, at the following concentrations: 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0, 12.5, and 15.0%. Embryogenic structures and somatic embryos were formed at a threshold osmotic potential of up to -0.691 and -0.374 MPa, respectively, with a reduction or inhibition in these responses under a more negative osmotic potential.
DeepSym: Deep Symbol Generation and Rule Learning for Planning from Unsupervised Robot Interaction

Published: November 2022

Symbolic planning and reasoning are powerful tools for robots tackling complex tasks. However, the need to manually design the symbols restrict their applicability, especially for robots that are expected to act in open-ended environments. Therefore symbol formation and rule extraction should be considered part of robot learning, which, when done properly, will offer scalability, flexibility, and robustness. Towards this goal, we propose a novel general method that finds action-grounded, discrete object and effect categories and builds probabilistic rules over them for non-trivial action planning. Our robot interacts with objects using an initial action repertoire that is assumed to be acquired earlier and observes the effects it can create in the environment. To form action-grounded object, effect, and relational categories, we employ a binary bottleneck layer in a predictive, deep encoderdecoder network that takes the image of the scene and the action applied as input, and generates the resulting effects in the scene in pixel coordinates. After learning, the binary latent vector represents action-driven object categories based on the interaction experience of the robot. To distill the knowledge represented by the neural network into rules useful for symbolic reasoning, a decision tree is trained to reproduce its decoder function. Probabilistic rules are extracted from the decision paths of the tree and are represented in the Probabilistic Planning Domain Definition Language (PPDDL), allowing off-the-shelf planners to operate on the knowledge extracted from the sensorimotor experience of the robot. The deployment of the proposed approach for a simulated robotic manipulator enabled the discovery of discrete representations of object properties such as ‘rollable’ and ‘insertable’. In turn, the use of these representations as symbols allowed the generation of effective plans for achieving goals, such as building towers of the desired height, demonstrating the effectiveness of the approach for multi-step object manipulation. Finally, we demonstrate that the system is not only restricted to the robotics domain by assessing its applicability to the MNIST 8-puzzle domain in which learned symbols allow for the generation of plans that move the empty tile into any given position.
Effect of Bone Grafting on Hard and Soft Tissue Changes Following Immediate Implant Installation in Mandibular Molar Sites: A Double-Blind Randomized Clinical Trial
Authors: Nasrabadi Nahid , Forouzanfar Ali , Farsi Mohammad Reza , Babaei Kourosh , Ahrari Farzaneh
Published: November 2022

This study investigated the effect of bone grafting on hard and soft tissue alterations after immediate implant insertion in mandibular molar sites. This randomized, double-blind clinical trial consisted of 30 healthy patients (17 women and 13 men aged 22-58 years) who required immediate implant installation to replace a first or second mandibular molar. Only subjects with a buccal gap between 2 and 4 mm were selected. The participants were randomly allocated to two groups. In the experimental group, the gap was augmented by an allograft, whereas in the control group no graft was applied. Marginal bone level, probing depth, keratinized gingival width, and bleeding on probing were assessed at the time of implant placement (T0), 1 month (T1), and 3 months (T2) after surgery. There was no significant difference in hard and soft tissue parameters between the grafted and nongrafted sites at any of the durations (P < 0.05). Bone level decreased significantly in both groups (P < 0.05). However, the amount of probing depth and the frequency of cases showing bleeding on probing did not alter over the experiment either in the test or in the control group (P > 0.05). Bone grafting simultaneously with immediate implant installation had no significant effect on hard and soft tissue outcomes when the buccal gap size was between 2 and 4 mm. Therefore, the use of a bone substitute is not mandatory up to the jumping distance of 4 mm in immediate implant surgery.

Published: November 2022

A former UK gasworks site has been cleaned up sustainably using solar power. The small but multi-award-winning project involved designing and deploying an in situ remediation system driven entirely by photovoltaic energy. Over 22 months it recovered 6100 l of hazardous coal tar and creosote from a 9.5 m deep infilled former gas holder tank in Gateshead, north-east England. This paper describes how options appraisal, stakeholder mapping and sustainability assessment led to a genuinely low-emissions, cost-effective and durable treatment solution with the highest health and safety standards.
Discrete element method investigation of shear behaviour of 3D geogrid–sand interface
Authors: Zeng W. X. , Liu F. Y. , Zhu X. X. , He J. H. , Wang J.
Published: November 2022

Interface shear characteristics have an important impact on the stability of geosynthetically reinforced soil structures. The shear characteristics of three-dimensional (3D) geogrid–sand interfaces were investigated using large-scale direct shear tests and the discrete element method (DEM). Geogrids were manufactured by 3D printing. The effect of mesh pattern and transverse-rib thickness on the stress–displacement relationship, strength parameters, coordination number and porosity distribution were evaluated. The results showed that the mesh pattern and transverse-rib thickness have an impact on the interface shear characteristics. The peak and residual interface shear strength of the modified geogrid mesh pattern exceeded that of biaxial geogrids. The average coordination numbers of the modified geogrid mesh pattern were greater than those of biaxial geogrids. The variability of particle compactness, as characterised by the porosity distribution, shows how the modified mesh pattern increases the interface shear strength. The interface shear strength of the geogrid–sand interface was improved by thickening the transverse ribs of the modified geogrid mesh pattern.
Digital image-based performance evaluation of GCL-sand interfaces under repeated shearing
Authors: Pillai A. G. , Gali M. L.
Published: November 2022

Inadequate shear strength mobilization at the interfaces results in translational failures in Geosynthetic Clay Liners (GCL). Periodic addition of solid waste into the landfill causes additional normal and shear stresses in GCLs. The mechanical response of GCLs and fibre strength are highly time-dependent. Hence the interface shear resistance reduces under the application of repeated shear cycles. To simulate these conditions, a repeated interface shearing test was conceptualized in this study. A natural river sand and a manufactured sand of identical gradation were used in experiments. Each GCL-sand interface was subjected to eight cycles of shearing in dry and hydrated conditions under three different static normal stresses. Results showed that the variation of the peak interface shear stress has different phases, governed by different mechanisms. Digital image analysis of tested GCL surfaces after each shearing cycle provided important clues for this response. Entrapment of sand particles into GCL surfaces is beneficial initially because of increased friction at the interface and this benefit is more pronounced in the case of manufactured sand, due to the irregular shape of particles. Quantification of sand particle entrapment and surface changes to GCL helped in understanding these micro-level interaction mechanisms.
A qualitative study on the experience of tourism industry workers constraining the realization of fair tourism: Focused on the justice theory

Published: November 2022

Since the need was identified roughly ten years ago, domestic tourism policies have been implemented from a variety of perspectives, and tangible results have been achieved. As unfair tourism practices in the tourism industry continue to exist in a chronic form, the purpose of this study is to identify the obstacles tourism industry employees face in realizing fair tourism. Participants from the tourism industry in Seoul were recruited and analyzed using qualitative research methods. FGI was conducted for a total of 15 workers in the travel, social enterprise, and accommodation industries between July and August of 2021, and they were categorized into six fairness categories. Specifically, the fairness of procedures, interaction, opportunity, perception, business environment, and distribution process were classified. As the first study in the tourism context, this study theoretically contributed to the expansion of fairness theory and originality in the research subjects by reflecting the voices of tourism field industry workers and analyzing their limitations on the realization of fair tourism. In addition, policy implications that can be implemented in practice are proposed in order for fair tourism to take root in our society in the post-COVID-19 era.

Se registró un total de 1.229 individuos pertenecientes a 33 especies y 17 familias. En la cobertura Manglar se observaron 28 especies y en la cobertura Playa se registraron 22. Las familias con mayor número de representantes fueron Scolopacidae (5 especies), Ardeidae y Charadriidae (4 especies cada una) y Tyrannidae (3 especies). Las especies abundantes en la zona de estudio fueron: Cathartes aura, Progne tapera, Charadrius wilsonia, Quiscalus mexicanus y Egretta thula. No hubo diferencias significativas entre la composición y abundancia de aves por cobertura. Aunque la composición de especies fue relativamente similar en ambos tipos de cobertura (61,26%), el valor del número de Hill indica que el Manglar fue la cobertura más importante con relación a la riqueza de especies. En Puerto Velero predominan aves con alto rango de distribución, pero las aves migratorias (8 familias en 4 órdenes) constituyen un componente importante de este grupo faunístico ya que son especies con requerimientos específicos en términos de disponibilidad de recursos para alimentarse, descansar y refugiarse. De igual manera, las especies residentes que se observaron cumplen un papel importante en términos de la funcionalidad ecológica y su contribución en procesos de regulación y soporte dentro del ecosistema.

Authors: Peña Avendaño Igor , Soto Medina Edier
Published: November 2022

El objetivo de este trabajo fue estudiar la riqueza de hongos macromicetos y relacionar su variación con las variables ambientales y la estructura vegetal en Isla Palma, Pacífico colombiano. Para esto, se establecieron nueve parcelas fijas de 10x10 m, distribuidas en tres trayectos de 90 m de largo, perpendiculares a la costa oriental de la isla, con inicio a 20 m de la línea de marea, y separados entre sí por 60 m. Se colectaron los macrohongos en cada parcela en visitas mensuales durante seis meses. También se midieron parámetros de la vegetación y la intensidad de luz. Se encontraron 107 morfoespecies de macromicetos, siendo los géneros Marasmius y Mycena los dominantes. La riqueza de macromicetos no estuvo relacionada con los parámetros de vegetación ni con la intensidad de luz; sin embargo, estos parámetros sí estuvieron relacionados con la composición de macromicetos en el bosque.

Published: November 2022

El propósito de este trabajo fue estudiar la biología reproductiva, horarios y métodos de polinización artificial en tomate de árbol Cyphomandra betacea, cultivar Manzano en una localidad del departamento de Nariño (Colombia), ubicado a 2100 msnm, con temperatura de 13°C. Se marcaron 1000 botones florales de 0,5 cm de largo. Cada ocho y hasta 40 días, cuando se dio la fecundación, se hicieron mediciones en mm de la longitud del botón floral, largo y diámetro de la corola, diámetro ecuatorial del cáliz, largo y diámetro del ovario, largo del filamento, largo del estilo, largo y ancho de anteras, viabilidad del polen y receptividad del pistilo. El crecimiento de los verticilos se ajustó al modelo y = Bd. El polen inicia su maduración a los 24 días, con un 61,48% de viabilidad. La receptividad del pistilo se da a los 16 días, 13 días antes de la antesis. Igualmente, se evaluaron horarios de polinización con y sin hormona. Las polinizaciones realizadas entre 8 a.m. y 4 p.m. con y sin hormona, no presentaron diferencias significativas para eficiencia de hibridación (EH), número de semillas por fruto (SPF) y porcentaje de germinación (PG). La EH osciló entre el 36 y el 68%. El número de SPF osciló entre 240 y 361 y el PG presentó un rango de 56 a 66%. Entre las 2 y 4 p.m. y sin hormona, se obtuvo el mayor peso por fruto (121,97 g) y la mayor velocidad de germinación (1,87).
Fijaciones de los músculos caudo-mediales del antebrazo de primates: una revisión y adaptación a la terminología anatómica veterinaria
Authors: Vélez García Juan Fernando , Castañeda Fabián E.
Published: November 2022

Los músculos caudo-mediales del antebrazo de primates presentan sus fijaciones en los huesos del brazo, antebrazo y mano, para realizar funciones apropiadas para su patrón de locomoción, al igual que, pueden presentar semejanzas y variantes intraespecíficas e interespecíficas, las cuales nos permiten encontrar que en algún momento compartieron un ancestro en común; y por otro lado, el cirujano veterinario las podrá tener en cuenta al realizar un abordaje quirúrgico que involucre la cara disto-medial del brazo y la cara caudo-medial del antebrazo; por lo tanto, el presente documento revisa los orígenes e inserciones de los músculos caudo-mediales del antebrazo de primates, presentando un análisis comparativo entre distintas especies de primates.

Authors: Rodríguez Gabriel
Published: November 2022

El objetivo primordial de este trabajo es describir dos nuevas subespecies de mariposas del género Catastica (Lepidoptera: Pieridae): C. cteneme pitalito n. spp., y C. cinerea farallonensis n. ssp. La primera de ellas habita la vertiente occidental de la Cordillera Oriental, en tanto la segunda, se encuentra presente en la Cordillera Occidental de Colombia. Esta contribución enriquece sin duda la cantidad de especies de Catasticta conocidas del país, que han sido obtenidas mediante captura manual con redes entomológicas. De lo anterior se concluye que el género es uno de los más diversificados en la zona Andina, pues constantemente se descubren nuevas especies y razas como las descritas en este estudio.

Published: November 2022

Este artículo pretende registrar por vez primera para el departamento de Caldas la presencia del parasitoide Tamarixia radiata (Waterson) (Hymenoptera. Eulophidae), enemigo natural y controlador del insecto plaga de los cítricos Diaphorina citri. El parasitoide se observó y recolectó sobre ninfas de Diaphorina en constante acción que podrían reducir las poblaciones de dichos insectos nocivos que afectan los cultivos de cítricos comerciales. Dicho registro en Caldas es de gran relevancia para la citri cultura existente en la zona cafetera del país.
Caracterización florística de un bosque alto andino en el parque nacional natural Puracé, Cauca, Colombia
Authors: Abud H. Melissa , Torres G. Alba Marina
Published: November 2022

Los bosques alto andinos son ecosistemas que albergan importantes muestras de la biodiversidad en Colombia, constituyen el hábitat de numerosas especies y cumplen importantes funciones, entre éstas, la regulación hídrica. Sin embargo, las actividades antrópicas afectan este importante recurso, poniendo en peligro su composición y función. Por tanto, es necesaria la producción de conocimiento biológico del ecosistema y la definición de medidas para su conservación.

Como respuesta a lo anterior, esta investigación tuvo como objetivo describir la vegetación presente en el ecosistema de bosque alto andino, entre los 3200 y 3400 m de altitud, en el bosque de San Juan, dentro del Parque Nacional Natural (PNN) Puracé, departamento del Cauca, Colombia. Para esto, se usó el método de Cinturón de Gentry (DAP ≥ 2,5 en 0,1 ha). El bosque estudiado estuvo compuesto por 301 individuos clasificados en 13 familias, 18 géneros y 38 especies. Las especies con mayores índices de valor de importancia (IVI) se presentaron en las familias Cunoniaceae, Chloranthaceae, Melastomataceae, Araceae, Piperaceae y Clusiaceae, representadas por: Weinmannia mariquitae (IVI: 0,96), Hedyosmum sp. (IVI: 0,56), Miconia sp.1 (IVI: 0,25), Anthurium sp. (IVI: 0,13), Piper sp. (IVI: 0,13) y Clusia multiflora (IVI: 0,13), respectivamente. El bosque se caracterizó por la presencia de abundantes árboles con alturas entre 3 a 5,9 metros. Se calculó una diversidad de 0,18 usando el índice de Simpson y un área basal total de 6,19 m2. Se concluye que el bosque de San Juan posee una composición y estructura típicas de los bosques altos andinos descritos para la cordillera central colombiana. Las características de este bosque (i.e. zona de transición de bosque alto andino a páramo y su cercanía a aguas termales), lo constituyen en un referente importante para la conservación de este ecosistema en el Cauca.
