Energy and Exergy Analysis of the Condensate Pump During Internal Leakage from the Marine Steam Propulsion System
Authors: Poljak Igor , Orović Josip , Mrzljak Vedran
Published: December 2018

An energy and exergy analysis of the condensate pump from the marine steam propulsion system during the condensate leakage between pump stages is presented in this paper. Measurements from the steam propulsion system during exploitation were necessary for collecting all the data for the condensate pump analysis. Due to condensate leakage inside the pump casing, the producer specified condensate pressures at the pump outlet could not be obtained during the exploitation. Low condensate pressure at the pump inlet and condensate temperature slightly above the atmospheric significantly influences the pump exergy analysis. Increase in pump load resulted in an increase of pump energy and exergy losses and efficiencies. In the observed load range during the leakage, pump energy losses are between 19.88 kW and 24.78 kW, while pump energy efficiencies are between 11.12 % and 41.54 %. Pump exergy losses are slightly higher, while exergy efficiencies are slightly lower when compared to energy losses and efficiencies. During normal operation, without leakage, the pump energy efficiencies are from 5 % to 20 % higher in comparison with pump operation when the leakage occurs.
Mathematical Modelling of Diesel Engine Operational Performance Parameters in Transient Modes
Authors: Rapalis Paulius , Lebedevas Sergejus , Mickevičienė Rima
Published: December 2018

This study presents innovative methods for solving practical challenges that occur during the operation of heavy diesel engines (DEs). The novelty of the method arises from the combined use of an artificial neural network, a single-zone DE combustion mathematical model, and data from real operation conditions. Using the proposed method, DE transient mode energy efficiency has been analysed, and the primary influencing factors have been identified: qcycl and dqcycl/dt. The adequacy of the method has been tested for CAT3512B-HD series engines installed on freight locomotives. The difference between the model results and experimental data has been 3–4%. CAT3512B-HD series DE transient operation studies have shown that at the low-load range of qcycl (up to 36% of nominal), the fuel consumption during transient operation increases by 10% compared to steady state operation. Transient operation efficiency is not influenced by the operation rate (dqcycl/dt) in the analysed -0.016 to 0.016 g/s range. Near the nominal power (qcycl increases up to 0.5 g/cycle), it is necessary to limit the dqcycl/dt range to 0.006 g/s to avoid overexploitation of the fuel by more than 100%. The proposed method has been recommended for practical use in optimizing vehicle operation load cycle structure by adapting the engine control to the concrete operation conditions, as well as for overall efficiency improvement.
A Hybrid MCDM Approach to Transshipment Port Selection
Authors: Sumner Matthew , Rudan Igor
Published: December 2018

Port selection is an intrinsic supply-chain problem that has substantial impact on development of local economies. Shipping business environment developed into complex system where decision making is derived from uncertain and incomplete data. In this study we present a conceptual integrated Multi-Criteria Decision solution to transshipment port selection problem based on Best-Worst MCDM and Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm. Through literature review and expert analysis, 50 relevant criteria have been identified as relevant to the transshipment port selection problem. Decision makers within liner shipping companies evaluate transshipment port selection criteria and establish ranking that is used to determine crisp solution with lowest consistency ratio. ABC based algorithm is used to reduce computational complexity and deliver a single optimal solution by solving both objective and constraint violation functions.
Wireless Condition Monitoring of Machinery and Equipment in Maritime Industry
Authors: Panić Ivan , Ćelić Jasmin , Cuculić Aleksandar
Published: December 2018

Seagoing vessels are highly complex systems. Major requirements of marine vessels are continuous running time and high production output. As such, these systems require high availability and reliability, and are dependent on preventive maintenance procedures. Development of diverse range of sensors, combined with overall reduction in price, enabled implementation of condition based maintenance in such systems. Large increases in fuel cost, environmental restrictions and further crew reduction are current trend in maritime industry. Considering marine sector emphasis on the reduction of fuel consumption, environmental restrictions, and reduction of crew size, implementation of condition based maintenance is favourable, especially with regard to lost man-hours. However, high initial cost of installation on moving vessels, necessary crew training and additional sensor maintenance inhibits implementation of condition based maintenance. Replacing wired monitoring system with wireless ship-board sensor network would mitigate the above mentioned problems. However, current research of wireless sensor networks is based on terrestrial installation. This paper analyses the application of wireless sensor network technology on board seagoing vessels. Practical engineering solutions, including sensor types, configurations and wireless network topologies have been identified and reviewed.
Promoting positive community relations: what can RE learn from social psychology and the Shared Space project?
Authors: Williams Amanda , McKeown Shelley , Orchard Janet , Wright Kathryn
Published: December 2018

In this paper we considered the relevance of specific claims that ‘multi-faith’ approaches to Religious Education (RE) play a role in promoting good community relations. In doing so, we adopted a social-psychological perspective where engaging in positive and meaningful interactions with diverse others reduces prejudice. Survey responses from 92 RE teachers across the UK were examined to determine the extent to which strategies for promoting positive community relations were embedded within classroom practice. We next examined whether teachers intuitively used social psychological theory – namely the contact hypothesis – to promote positive communities in their classrooms. Results demonstrated that the majority of surveyed RE practitioners perceived community relations to be a core aim of RE and that contact theory was applicable to their practice. Teachers reported examples of how they embed both contact theory and RE in their classrooms but not all of these aligned with social psychological theory. Findings suggest that successful practice in RE may be further developed by integrating theoretical principles of the contact hypothesis. Implications and future directions will be discussed.
From Economic Complexities to Computational Entrepreneurship
Authors: Vuong Quan-Hoang
Published: December 2018

This paper proposes a new academic discipline of computational entrepreneurship, which centers on: i) An exponentially growing (and less expensive) computing power, to the extent that almost everybody in a modern society can own and use that; ii) Omnipresent high-speed Internet connectivity, wired or wireless, representing our modern day’s economic connectomics; iii) Growing concern of exploiting “serendipity” for a strategic commercial advantage; and, iv) Growing capabilities of lay people in performing calculations for their informed decisions in taking fast-moving entrepreneurial opportunities. Computational entrepreneurship has slowly become a new mode of operation for business ventures, and will likely bring the academic discipline of entrepreneurship back to mainstream economics.

A plea for preregistration in personality disorders research: The case of psychopathy
Authors: Verschuere Bruno , Yasrebi Franziska , van Zelm Iza , Lilienfeld Scott Owen
Published: December 2018

In response to a crisis of confidence, several methodological initiatives have been launched to improve the robustness of psychological science. Given its real-world implications, personality disorders research is all too important to not follow suit. We offer a plea for preregistration in personality disorders research, using psychopathic personality (psychopathy) as a prominent case example. To suit action to word, we report on a preregistered study, and use it to help refute common misconceptions about preregistration as well as to illustrate that the key strength of preregistration - transparency - outweighs its (perceived) disadvantages. Although preregistration will not conclusively settle the many debates roiling the field of psychopathy and other personality disorders, it can help to verify the robustness of empirical observations that inform such debates.

DAMPAK PERAN AYAH TERHADAP PERKEMBANGAN EMOSIONAL ANAK USIA DINI
Authors: Hazizah Nur
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACTFamily is an education obtained by early childhood from parents of children get it. In the family have parenting from parents and mothers have the same important role. Parents will be an example for children so that if parents provide good and positive examples in front of children, children will imitate the good and positive behavior. The role of the father's person will have an impact on the child. The importance of a father's figure will affect the development of cognitive, social emotional in children. Because with the role of a father the child will feel happy, a father can provide motivation to the child. By knowing the role of the father and the role of the mother, the child will feel happy, the emotions that arise from the child are also positive emotions.Keywords: Family, Parenting, Father's Role, Emotions
Aragonite bias exhibits systematic spatial variation in the late Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway, North America.
Authors: Dean Christopher David , Allison Peter , Hampson Gary J. , Hill Jon
Published: December 2018

Preferential dissolution of the biogenic carbonate polymorph aragonite promotes preservational bias in shelly marine faunas. Whilst field studies have documented the impact of preferential aragonite dissolution on fossil molluscan diversity, its impact on regional and global biodiversity metrics is debated. Epicontinental seas are especially prone to conditions which both promote and inhibit preferential dissolution, which may result in spatially extensive zones with variable preservation. Here we present a multi-faceted evaluation of aragonite dissolution within the late Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway of North America. Occurrence data of molluscs from two time intervals (Cenomanian-Turonian boundary, early Campanian) are plotted on new high-resolution paleogeographies to assess aragonite preservation within the seaway. Fossil occurrences, diversity estimates and sampling probabilities for calcitic and aragonitic fauna were compared in zones defined by depth and distance from the seaway margins. Apparent range sizes, which could be influenced by differential preservation potential of aragonite between separate localities, were also compared. Our results are consistent with exacerbated aragonite dissolution within specific depth zones for both time slices, with aragonitic bivalves additionally showing a statistically significant decrease in range size compared to calcitic fauna within carbonate-dominated Cenomanian-Turonian strata. However, we are unable to conclusively show that aragonite dissolution impacted diversity estimates. Therefore, whilst aragonite dissolution is likely to have affected the preservation of fauna in specific localities, time averaging and instantaneous preservation events preserve regional biodiversity. Our results suggest that the spatial expression of taphonomic biases should be an important consideration for paleontologists working on paleobiogeographic problems.
Evolving artificial sign languages in the lab: from improvised gesture to systematic sign
Authors: Motamedi Yasamin , Schouwstra Marieke , Culbertson Jennifer , Smith Kenny , Kirby Simon
Published: December 2018

Recent work on emerging sign languages provides evidence for how key properties of linguistic systems are created. Here we use laboratory experiments to investigate the contribution of two specific mechanisms– interaction and transmission–to the emergence of a manual communication system in silent gesturers. We show that the combined effects of these mechanisms, rather than either alone, lead to a gradual increase of regularity, systematic structure and communicative efficiency. The gestures initially produced by participants are unsystematic and resemble pantomime, but come to develop key language-like properties similar to those documented in newly emerging sign systems.
Inflexibility in Autism Spectrum Disorders: need for certainty and atypical emotion processing share the blame.
Authors: Latinus Marianne , Cléry Helen , Andersson Frédéric , Bonnet-Brilhault Frederique , Fonlupt Pierre , Gomot Marie
Published: December 2018

Although ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) diagnosis requires the co-occurrence of socio-emotional deficits and inflexible behaviors, the interaction between these two domains remains unexplored. We used an emotional Wisconsin Card Sorting Test adapted to fMRI to explore this question. ASD and control participants matched a central card (a face) with one of four surrounding cards according to one of three rules: frame color, facial identity or expression. Feedback informed participants on whether to change or maintain the current sorting rule. For each rule, we modeled feedback onsets to change, switch (confirming the newly found rule) and maintenance events. “Bias error”, which measures participants’ willingness to switch, was larger in ASD participants for the emotional sorting rule. Brain activity to change events showed no group differences. In response to switch events significantly larger activity was observed for ASD participants in bilateral Inferior Parietal Sulci. Inflexibility in ASD appears characterized by the unwillingness to switch toward processing socio-emotional information, rather than a major disruption in cognitive flexibility. However, a larger activity to switch events in ASD highlights the need for a higher level of certainty before setting into a stable processing stage, which may be particularly detrimental in the highly changeable socio-emotional environment.
Fewer Siblings, more Wealth? Sibship Size and Wealth Attainment
Authors: Lersch Philipp M.
Published: December 2018

This study examines the association between sibship size and wealth in adulthood. The study draws on resource dilution theory and additionally discusses potentially wealth-enhancing consequences of having siblings. Data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP, N=3,502 individuals) are used to estimate multilevel regression models adjusted for parental wealth and other important confounders neglected in extant work. The main results of the current study show that additional siblings reduce wealth by about 27 to 39 percent. Parental wealth moderates the association so that sibship size is more negatively associated with filial wealth when parents are wealthier. Birth order position does not moderate the association between sibship size and wealth. The findings suggest that fertility in the family of origin has a systematic impact on wealth attainment and may contribute to population-level wealth inequalities independently from other socio-economic characteristics in families of origin such as parental wealth.
Critical Search: A Procedure for Guided Reading in Large-Scale Textual Corpora
Authors: Guldi Jo
Published: December 2018

Whether they work with pages hand-selected from an archive, or keywords hand-selected from a digital corpus, scholars of all kinds wrestle with the issue of exemplarity. Cherry-picked examples leave the scholar's conclusions vulnerable to charges of, at best, irrelevance, and at worst, malfeasance. In digital research, even seemingly simple queries are plagued with these pitfalls, which can only be addressed by critical thinking about the queries we propose, the algorithms we use, and the questions we ask of them. If digital research is approached responsibly, however, it allows the scholar to choose exemplary texts for reading with a precision and clarity unavailable to previous generations.
The accuracy of FiveThirtyEight's 2018 midterm election predictions: an exploratory analysis
Authors: Smith Jinkinson
Published: December 2018

This study compares the predictions made by FiveThirtyEight's "Deluxe" forecasts in the 2018 United States midterm elections to the elections' actual results. It does so using two measures of polling error: difference between actual and predicted percent of the vote received by the Democratic candidate, and difference between actual and predicted margin of victory, in each race. Results indicate that the predictions were generally accurate, and that to the extent that they were not, this inaccuracy showed moderate evidence of being systematically skewed towards the Democratic candidate, overestimating their actual performance.
(Un)Modifying India: Nationalism, Sexual Violence and the Politics of Hindutva
Authors: Varma Rashmi , Varma Rashmi
Published: December 2018

The postcolonial Indian state has since its inception used sexual violence to keep resurgent rebellions in check within its formal territory, and has for long provided the means of the production of sexual violence to dominant sections of society. In this essay I suggest that with the rise of the Hindu right to political power at key levels of states and the centre over the last three decades, a new social and political dynamic has been unleashed. Sexual violence has come to constitute public and private lives in unprecedented ways that include a radical realignment of public and private spheres as well as the production of a rejuvenated masculinist state and society seeking to resignify tradition and modernity within the framework of Hindutva or Hindu supremacy.  While this force signals a political defeat for liberal and secular feminism at some level, it also opens up new opportunities to reimagine the vocabularies of freedom and rights against the new political order.
The death of Sergey Esenin: A forensic’s view of the cultural and historical event
Authors: Bertovsky L. V. , Klyueva V. M. , Lisovetsky A. L.
Published: December 2018

Sergey Esenin’s tragic end is widely known and provokes disputes to this day. The official reports put it down as a suicide. The incident could be analyzed more effectively by means of an interdisciplinary approach using the latest forensic know-how. The documented circumstances of Esenin’s death, found in recorded testimonies and interviews, as well as the materials of the Russian National Esenin Committee of Writers, are examined through the author’s own classification of forensically relevant evidence of suicide. The analysis reveals that suicide remains the most probable version. Far from solving this incident for good, these conclusions may become an important forensic contribution to the history of Russian culture.
‘The beauties of those times...’. Osip Mandelstam and Olga Hildebrandt
Authors: Shindin S. G.
Published: December 2018

The article by S. Shindin, a scholar of O. Mandelstam, focuses on the lyrical subject of Mandelstam’s poetry inspired by Olga Hildebrandt, better known by her stage name, Arbenina. By citing Hildebrandt-Arbenina’s reminiscences about Mandelstam, notes by their contemporaries, and the poems in question, the author builds a detailed account of their relationship, from the autumn of 1920, when they first met and Mandelstam became infatuated with Olga, who was in a relationship with Gumilyov at the time, until their later encounters, described by N. Mandelstam in her memoirs. In addition to an impressive score of facts about Mandelstam’s poetic development, the author provides numerous insights into the aesthetics of the Silver Age, which engendered, in Akhmatova’s words, the ‘marvellous’ lyrical verse by Mandelstam.
The story and legends of The Forty-First
Authors: Bakhova N. S.
Published: December 2018

The article is devoted to B. Lavrenyov’s story The Forty-First [Sorok perviy]. The author sets out to identify the prototypes of the main character, the White officer V. Govorukha-Otrok. Among these, she names a famous critic from the late 1800s, Y. Govorukha-Otrok. All previous studies of this story were limited to its general aspects, with only the works of B. Geronimus, and to some extent, E. Semyonova, N. Titova, and G. Ratmanova, touching on the subject.

The article begins by analyzing the legends around the character, including those inspired by the ‘Cannes echo’ phenomenon: the artistic response of several writers to G. Chukhray’s film adaptation of the story. Bakhova proceeds to point out a close connection of The Forty-First with Lavrenyov’s other works, e. g. Wormwood Herb [Polyn’-trava], noting the latter’s polemical stance towards the ideology of the 1920s. In the latter story, Lavrenyov chooses to pursue an unconventional parallel with the epoch of The Tale of Igor’s Campaign [Slovo o polku Igoreve]. Finally, she points out the close affinity of The Forty-First with Russian folk tales. Consequently, she concludes that Lavrenyov’s inner defiance of certain postulates of the Bolshevik revolution and its newly-established culture is hardwired in the story.
I. S. Turgenev in artistic reception and evaluation by A. P. Chekhov
Authors: Grigoryan G. A.
Published: December 2018

The article centres on Chekhov’s attitude to Turgenev’s prose, which has not yet received proper scholarly attention despite numerous attempts. Following the traces in Chekhov’s correspondence and literary works, we observe the gradual transformation of his opinion about the output of his closest predecessor.

His opinions about the older peer are wide-ranging and often controversial, complicating the study of his perception of Turgenev’s works. Yet many scholars see Chekhov as a direct successor of Russian literary traditions epitomized, among others, by Turgenev.

The paper attempts to show that, despite drawing on the experience of the earlier generation of Russian authors, Chekhov was an undisputed innovator. Chekhov’s poetics is typified both by having origins in Turgenev’s writing style and going beyond it. Recurrent allusions to Turgenev in Chekhov’s letters and literary works suggest that, despite artistic differences, Turgenev the artist interested Chekhov and regularly inspired his stylistic search.

Performing Identity
Authors: Markidou Vassiliki
Published: December 2018

The article focuses on three early-seventeenth-century (English and Scottish)
leisure travelers’ accounts of the (alleged) ruins of Homeric Troy, namely those
penned by Thomas Coryat, William Lithgow, and George Sandys. It argues that
their rumination on the specific remains both shaped and reflected their manifold,
fractured, and precarious identities while it also highlighted the complex
dialogue taking place in these texts between a ruinous past and a fragmented and
malleable present. The essay also examines the three travelers’ broken poetics,
interspersed in the aforementioned accounts, and shows that they constitute
highly self-aggrandizing narratives through which their authors perform their
fragile identities.

Person, Personhood and Individual Rights in Menkiti’s African Communitarian Thinking
Authors: Masaka Dennis
Published: December 2018

In this article, I argue that individuals could be entitled to
rights, outside those that are communally conferred, as part of the primary
requirement of being ‘persons’ in the African communitarian
set-up if the terms ‘person’ and ‘personhood’ are understood differently
from the way they are currently deployed in the communitarian
discourse. The distinction between these two terms is the basis of my
thesis where clarity on their meanings could be helpful in establishing
the possibility of ascribing rights outside those that are communally
conferred. I argue that ontologically, a ‘person’ is prior to ‘personhood’
(understood in the normative sense) which is considered to find its fuller
expression in a community and by virtue of this, I think that he or she is
entitled to some rights outside those that are defined and conferred by
the community. This is my point of departure in this article.
ECONOMICS IN AN ISLAMIC SOCIETY: A THEORETICAL EXPOSITION
Authors: ADADA MOHAMMED Abdul-rahim
Published: December 2018

This study is an attempt to explain the role of economics in an Islamic society, as a foundation to the proper understanding of the broad Islamic economic ideology as outlined in the Islamic moral code. In accomplishing this task, the study explains the life of the individual, from the Islamic perspective, as one oriented towards attaining a spiritual end (i.e., seeking Divine Pleasure through servitude). Economic pursuit plays only a functional role in this, serving, primarily, as the means to acquiring material provisions for the fulfilment of needs basic to the functioning of the individual in light of his/her spiritual pursuit. When the society is established as a community of such spiritual beings, and as cooperation towards enhancing their spiritual aspiration (for which they collectively adopt the moral code as their guide), the broad social outlook reflects the overriding spiritual goal. In this broad context, economics is functional to the broad social aspiration, which, essentially, is spiritual. Thus, the economic institution (as an integral element of the social structure) is designed to ensure that all individuals have equitable opportunity to acquire their necessary material provisions, while economic relations are morally policed (by the state) to keep them within the confines of the moral code, and within their functional bound.

Expanded involvement of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in the environmental governance has become further visible in the past few decades. To this end, this study is aimed to examine the role and influenceof NGOs on environmental governance in Turkey through distinct scientific explanatory framework including politicization, public attitudes, policy process, institutional structure, and output-bases.Consensus in policy making and scientific circle indicate that environmental protection is increasingly institutionalized and managed with growing participatory approaches in developing countries. Though some green NGOs continue to maintain hierarchical organization, and to provide their members with limited democratic rights, some have an increasing impact on policy process and environmental protection practices, especially through regular dialogue with policymakers, greater. Therefore, descriptive analysis in the study was conducted based on data provided from comprehensive reports, declaration, white paper and green policy statement of NGOs on their websites. Major findings of the study are that there has been adequate institutionalization capacity and manifold functions of NGOs in environmental governance, not a significant and powerful linkage of environmental NGOs with government and other environmental groups in Turkey.

U radu su prikazani rezultati trogodišnjeg (2010. – 2012.) poljskog pokusa u kojem je istraživan utjecaj godine (a1 = 2010.; a2 = 2011.; a3 = 2012.), učinkovitost normi navodnjavanja (b1 = kontrola; b2 = 60 do 80% poljskog vodnog kapaciteta (PVK), b3 = 80 do 100% PVK), količine N gnojiva (c1 = kontrola; c2 = 100 kg N ha-1; c3 = 200 kg N ha-1) te njihova interakcija na prinos i komponente prinosa kukuruza: duljina klipa (DK), visina klipa (VK), masa zrna po klipu (MZ/K) te broj zrna po klipu (BZ/K) i njihova korelacijsku povezanost. Utjecaj godine na prinos zrna kukuruza u pokusu nije bio izrazit (a1: 8,6 t ha-1, a2: 8,4 t ha-1 i 8,3 t ha-1), jer je navodnjavanje vrlo značajno utjecalo na prinos zrna kukuruza posebice u ekstremno vrlo sušnoj i ekstremno toploj 2012. godini (a3b1: 6,7 t ha-1, a3b2: 8,2 t ha-1 i a3b3: 9,9 t ha-1). Vrlo značajno (P<0,01) godina je utjecala na VK s rasponom od 97,4 (a1) do 133,5 cm (a2), DK od 18,6 (a1) do 21,4 cm (a3) i BZ/K od 566 (a1) do 628 (a3). Povećanjem norme navodnjavanja (od b1 do b3) vrlo je značajno povećan prinos zrna od 7,5 do 9 t ha-1, VK od 115,1 do 125,8 cm i značajno (P<0,05) je povećan BZ/K od 536 do 612. Povećanjem količine N gnojiva (od c1 do c3) vrlo značajno je povećan prinos zrna 6,5 do 10,3 t ha-1, DK od 18,4 do 20,9 cm, BZ/K 536 do 651 i VK od 113,5 do 124,8 cm. Rezultati istraživanja variraju u odnosu na godinu jer su vegetacijska razdoblja obilježili ekstremni vremenski uvjeti, od prekomjerne količine oborine 2010. godine do pojave sušnih razdoblja 2011. i 2012. godine praćenih nadprosječno visokim temperaturama zraka. Značajnost interakcija razlikovale su se po godini istraživanja. Jaka pozitivna korelacija je između prinosa zrna i DK (0,55) te prinosa zrna i BZ/K (0,62).

Kakvoća voća ovisi o postupcima prije i poslije berbe, što je naročito izraženo kod bobičastog i jagodičastog voća, koje se ubraja u skupinu voćnih vrsta koje su najosjetljivije na mehanička oštećenja. Uzgoj voća je radno intenzivan i spor proces s visokim troškovima proizvodnje. Uz nedavni napredak u poljoprivrednoj tehnologiji razvijeni su mehanički i robotski strojevi koji, u usporedbi s tradicionalnim uzgojem i postupcima poslije berbe bobičastog i jagodičastog voća, osim što smanjuju troškove proizvodnje smanjenjem potreba za radnom snagom, ostvaruju i značajnu uštedu vremena. Ovaj rad donosi pregled aktualnih znanja o mehanizaciji u uzgoju i postupcima poslije berbe bobičastog i jagodičastog voća, s naglaskom na kratki opis najnovijih mehaničkih i robotskih kombajna dostupnih na tržištu.

Pod klasifikacijom poljoprivredne biomase ubraja se i biomasa dobivena uzgojem brzorastućih energetskih kultura. Kako bi sama proizvodnja energetskih kultura bila što učinkovitija, posebni naglasak treba usmjeriti na poljoprivrednu tehniku tijekom žetve biomase. Cilj ovog rada je dati pregled važnijih višegodišnjih poljoprivrednih energetskih kultura te mogućnosti provođenja njihove mehanizirane žetve. Žetva biomase se može podijeliti temeljem dvije tehnike, i to na višefaznu i jednofaznu. Sama košnja se provodi kosilicama sa rotoudaračima, rotacijskim kosilicama s bubnjevima, oscilirajućim kosilicama, rotacijskim kosilicama s tanjurima, samokretnim windrowerom te samokretnim krmnim kombajnima. U odnosu na tehniku provođenja žetve potrebno je osigurati i poljoprivrednu mehanizaciju za formiranje zbojeva, prešanje te manipulaciju biomase.

Cilj ovog rada bio je utvrditi strukturu i stanje u opskrbnim lancima jabuka, te analizirati odnose između članova lanca. Anketno istraživanje provedeno je na uzorku od 50 proizvođača i 10 otkupljivača (distributera) jabuka. Rezultati istraživanja su pokazali da proizvođači jabuke plasiraju na tržište putem izravnih i neizravnih kanala prodaje. Izravna prodaja krajnjem potrošaču vrši se prodajom na gospodarstvu i dostavom na kućni prag dok neizravni kanali prodaje uključuju prodaju jabuka voćarnama i distributerima. Jabuka iz malih privatnih voćarni dolazi izravno do kupca, dok se jabuka iz distribucijskih centara plasira preko gradskih tržnica, malih prodavaonica u susjedstvu i trgovačkih lanaca do krajnjeg kupca. Analizirajući ukupnu suradnju između članova opskrbnog lanca utvrđeno je da su međusobnim odnosima najzadovoljniji proizvođači, a najmanji stupanj zadovoljstva utvrđen je u odnosu između otkupljivača (distributera) i trgovaca. Najčešći problemi s kojim se proizvođači susreću prilikom prodaje jabuka su niska otkupna cijena, način plaćanja, te nepoštivanje rokova plaćanja, dok otkupljivači (distributeri) kao najčešće probleme u odnosu s proizvođačima navode nepoštivanje rokova isporuke i kvalitetu jabuka, te poštivanje dogovora. Kod prodaje jabuka trgovcima distributeri kao najvažnije probleme u poslovanju izdvajaju dogovor oko postizanja prihvatljive prodajne cijene te previsoke standarde kvalitete jabuka pri otkupu. Prema nalazima istraživanja moguće je zaključiti da postoje značajne razlike u percepciji odnosa proizvođača i tržnih posrednika u opskrbnom lancu jabuka. Kako bi povećali uspješnost opskrbnih lanaca jabuka potrebno je: (1) poslovati u skladu s zakonom u kojem su definirani rokovi ispunjenja novčanih obveza, (2) zakonski regulirati nepoštene trgovačke prakse (eksploatacijski ugovori, visoki rabati, kratki rokovi isporuke, povrat neprodane robe), (3) poboljšati komunikaciju i razvijati partnerske odnose temeljene na povjerenju. Rezultati istraživanja mogu poslužiti kao informativna podloga istraživačima u području upravljanja opskrbnim lancima prehrambenih proizvoda te svim ispitanicima čije su tvrtke sudjelovale u istraživanju na način da ih potakne da na temelju utvrđenog stanja poduzmu određene mjere za poboljšanje uspješnosti opskrbnih lanaca kojima pripadaju.

Ispitali smo ulogu kontekstualnog pamćenja kod pogrešnog prepoznavanja kritičnih riječi mamaca i iluzornog pamćenja konteksta kod Deese/Roediger-McDermott paradigme. S ciljem manipulacije kontekstualnog pamćenja za boje ispitanici su čitali ili generirali riječi tijekom učenja. Prezentirali smo riječi s pojedinih lista u obliku blokova ili u mješovitom obliku s obzirom na boju riječi. Kod obje se manipulacije pojavio efekt konteksta na prepoznavanje boje. Pomoću analize temeljene na teoriji detekcije signala procijenili smo parametre osjetljivosti i pristranosti odgovaranja, uz pretpostavku da osjetljivost odražava efekt mehanizama kodiranja, a pristranost odgovaranja odražava efekt mehanizama pronalaženja informacija. Rezultati nisu pokazali evidenciju za dijagnostičko nadgledanje, odnosno, ispitanici se nisu koristili izostankom dosjećanja boja kao strategijom pronalaženja za odbacivanje riječi mamce. Međutim, u uvjetu lista prezentiranih u obliku blokova s obzirom na boju, bolje pamćenje za boju riječi s liste bilo je povezano s boljim pamćenjem biti i većom sklonošću pripisivanju boje riječi s liste riječima mamcima. Dobivene smo rezultate interpretirali kao posljedicu "pogrešnog vezivanja" kontekstualnih detalja s aktiviranim riječima mamcima tijekom kodiranja i/ili "posuđivanju" tih detalja tijekom pronalaženja.

dispozicijskih, socijalizacijskih i ponašajnih čimbenika u dinamici slanja
seksualno eksplicitnih poruka u adolescenciji

Istraživanja sugeriraju kako se značajan broj mladih koristi seksualno eksplicitnim materijalom (SEM). Istodobno, razvoj je mobilnih tehnologija i internetskih društvenih mreža omogućio novo seksualizirano ponašanje – slanje seksualiziranih poruka (engl. sexting). Dosadašnja su istraživanja povezala uporabu SEM-a, odnosno slanja seksualno eksplicitnih poruka, s rizičnim spolnim ponašanjima i nekim drugim neželjenim ishodima. Vodeći se modelom diferencijalne osjetljivosti na efekte medija (DSMM; Peter i Valkenburg, 2013), cilj je ovoga longitudinalnog istraživanja bio ispitati doprinos stupnja obrazovanja roditelja, roditeljske kontrole, samopoštovanja, traženja uzbuđenja, anksioznosti i depresivnosti, religioznosti, seksualne inicijacije, korištenja internetskih društvenih mreža te korištenja SEM-a u predikciji slanja seksualno eksplicitnih poruka. Istraživanje je provedeno na populacijskom uzorku koji je uključio 791 riječkog srednjoškolca (302 mladića i 489 djevojaka) prosječne dobi od 15.8 godina (SD = 0.51). Podaci su prikupljeni u dvije vremenske točke u razmaku od 12 mjeseci. Od ukupnog broja sudionika 46% je mladića u prvom i 37.7% u drugom mjerenju bar jednom poslalo seksualiziranu poruku, dok je isto ponašanje označilo 36.6.% djevojaka u prvom i 33.7% u drugom mjerenju. S obzirom na to da je seksualna socijalizacija adolescenta idalje velikim dijelom spolno specifična, analize su provedene odvojeno po spolu. Rezultati multivarijatne analize (korištena je hijerarhijska logistička regresija s kontrolom inicijalne razine ishoda) pokazali su kako djevojke koje su u prvom mjerenju sklonije traženju uzbuđenja, djevojke koje su stupile u spolni odnos te one koje se koriste SEM-om češće šalju seksualno eksplicitne poruke u drugoj točki mjerenja. U poduzorku se mladića samo traženje uzbuđenja pokazalo značajnim pozitivnim prediktorom ishoda. Imajući u vidu golemu popularnost internetskih društvenih mreža među mladima, dobiveni nalazi upućuju na važnost sustavnog promicanja medijske pismenosti te boljeg razumijevanja motivacije za slanje seksualiziranih poruka, kao i potencijalnih rizika, u adolescenciji.
