Authors: Tang K. K. W. , Mahmud M. R. , Hussaini A. , Abubakar A. G.
Published: October 2019

Abstract. The Department of Survey and Mapping Malaysia has introduced marine cadastre system to register the rights, other valid interests therein and ownership of spatially determined parcels in the context of the marine environment yet the implementation of the system is still at the rudimentary stage. One of the big issues here is gathering land-to-seabed data to create a seamless topographic base map to support its marine cadastre project. Seabed bathymetric mapping in coastal zone is one of the major components to support marine cadastre. In the past, accurate bathymetric measurements can be a very laborious task in hydrographic surveying. Traditional vessel-based acoustic soundings require a lot of time, operation cost and others. Today, human’s ingenuity to yield bathymetric depths from multispectral images as an alternative source to chart the seabed topography has brought in new revolution to hydrography. The paper is initiated for evaluating water depth determination by using imagery-derived bathymetry technique and check its correlation with in-situ bathymetry depths. In the course of experiment, it demonstrates a good correlation between the imagery-derived bathymetric depths and the in-situ bathymetric depths, and majority of the derived depths have passed the minimum requirement of the IHO S-44 survey standard. The result also shows that these empirical models deliver promising outcome which can be use over the turbid environment setting. Hence, imagery-derived bathymetry approach can be an efficient and repeatable way to derive the seabed topography over a huge segment of coastal region. This study also suggests that imagery-derived bathymetry approach can be recognised as an aid in seabed topographic mapping to support marine cadastre initiative.

Published: October 2019

Abstract. The effects of oil spills in the Niger Delta has caused unending menace to the quality of drinking water in most wells and boreholes of the area as most of the wells are shallow and are susceptible to contamination due to the nature of its Geology. The aim of this paper is to develop a database on how oil spills affects water quality which is one of the most crucial resources in the Niger Delta. The study uses existing oil spills data to show the areas and extent of oil pollution in the Niger Delta. Geospatial analysis was used to design an oil spill data base comprising the logical, physical, and conceptual data base design. Visio was used for the design of the entity relationship (ER) diagram of the study. The Kernel density and Getis-Ord G* statistic were used in GIS to map the oil spill areas in the region. Results of spatial spill distribution from the Kernel density and Getis-Ord G* statistic revealed that three states of the Niger Delta namely, Bayelsa, Rivers, and Delta states are the hottest spots for oil spill occurrences and distribution. The ER chart showed the relationships between the pollution sources, their pathways, and the receptors. The ER diagram developed could be of significance to environmentalists and other stakeholders in understanding the processes through which contaminants get to the various compartments of the earth system.

Las jornadas de Griselda: "Imitatio" y "cornice" de Boccaccio a Timoneda
Authors: Vélez-Sainz Julio
Published: October 2019

El presente artículo disecciona las principales permutaciones europeas de la historia de Griselda, la cual cierra el Decamerón de Boccaccio y pasa por Petrarca, Metge, Pizan, Chaucer, Castigos y doctrinas que un sabio daba a sus hijas hasta llegar al Patrañuelo de Timoneda. Para profundizar el análisis planteamos diseccionar narratológicamente las distintas versiones a partir de su marco narrativo (o cornice) y el proceso de imitación y emulación que sufren trama y personajes. Los cambios coinciden con diferentes momentos epistemológicos de modo que la funcionalidad didáctica del modelo original, que estaba dispuesta para emulación de toda la sociedad, es, poco a poco, suplantada por un telos que persigue convertir la historia en manual de enseñanza a mujeres casamenteras y, finalmente, por una intencionalidad cercana al puro delectare renacentista
The role of jacket complexity in structuring fish assemblages in the midwaters of two California oil and gas platforms
Authors: Love Milton S , Kui Li , Claisse Jeremy T
Published: October 2019

Between 2005 and 2011, using manned research submersibles, we compared the fish assemblages associated with the midwater platform structures (at depths between 40 and 195 m) of two southern California oil and gas platforms, Gail and Eureka. Gail is a typical California platform, with
rounded crossbeams and pilings, while the midwater jacket of Eureka, studded with bowl-shaped piling guides, is more complex. While the assemblages of both platforms were dominated by rockfishes (Sebastes spp.), there were also significant differences. Compared to Gail, Eureka: (1)
exhibited higher densities of all species combined and of most species in common, (2) had more mature individuals of most species, (3) exhibited greater species richness, and (4) had higher densities of species typical of complex high relief. We propose that the complex midwater jacket of
Eureka, with its many sheltering sites, resembles rugose natural rocky reefs. This research both reinforces the conclusion that many reef species have quite specific habitat requirements and that the platform decommissioning process must consider each platform individually.
Fish densities associated with structural elements of oil and gas platforms in southern California
Authors: Meyer-Gutbrod Erin L , Kui Li , Nishimoto Mary M , Love Milton S , Schroeder Donna M , Miller Robert J
Published: October 2019

There are thousands of offshore oil and gas platforms worldwide that will eventually become obsolete, and one popular decommissioning alternative is the "rigs to reefs" conversion that designates all or a portion of the underwater infrastructure as an artificial reef, thereby reducing
the burden of infrastructure removal. The unique architecture of each platform may influence the size and structure of the associated fish assemblage if different structural elements form distinct habitats for fishes. Using scuba survey data from 11 southern California platforms from 1995
to 2000, we examined fish assemblages associated with structural elements of the structure, including the major horizontal crossbeams outside of the jacket, vertical jacket legs, and horizontal crossbeams that span the jacket interior. Patterns of habitat association were examined among three
depth zones: shallow (<16.8 m), midwater (16.8–26 m), and deep (>26 m); and between two life stages: young- of-the-year and non-young-of-the-year. Fish densities tended to be greatest along horizontal beams spanning the jacket interior, relative to either horizontal or vertical
beams along the jacket exterior, indicating that the position of the habitat within the overall structure is an important characteristic affecting fish habitat use. Fish densities were also higher in transects centered directly over a vertical or horizontal beam relative to transects that
did not contain a structural element. These results contribute to the understanding of fish habitat use on existing artificial reefs, and can inform platform decommissioning decisions as well as the design of new offshore structures intended to increase fish production.

Se proponen estrategias que fortalezcan la exportación de café al mercado diferenciado. Según el nivel de conocimiento esta investigación es aplicada y según el enfoque filosófico es cuali-cuantitativa o mixta porque se analiza la problemática del proceso administrativo para la exportación y estudia las variables de control de calidad en la finca de los socios productores, el universo son seiscientos treinta cinco asociados de la cooperativa de servicios múltiples “El Gorrión” R.L. Las técnicas de recolección de datos fueron: Investigación documental, entrevistas, se aplicaron doscientas cuarenta encuestas a productores y se realizó una observación en la finca de un socio. Los principales resultados reflejan que una correcta aplicación de los criterios de calidad que exige la cooperativa influye en la cantidad de café que se exporta al mercado internacional. Los productores para obtener la certificación deben cumplir con las normas y leyes del mercado diferenciado, darles un buen manejo a sus fincas, tener fuentes de aguas restringidas y no contaminar el medio ambiente. Como estrategia se propone impartir capacitaciones para el área administrativa sobre temas de comercialización, aprovechar la entrada de nuevos socios, darle buen uso al financiamiento que brinda la cooperativa y reducir el nivel de morosidad de los productores.
Application of artificial neural network to predict the effect of paraffin addition on water absorption and thickness swelling of MDF
Authors: Gürgen Ayşenur , Ustaömer Derya , Yildiz Sibel
Published: October 2019

In this study, water absorption and thickness swelling values of medium density fiberboard (MDF) were modelled by artificial neural networks (ANN). MDF panels were produced with different rates of paraffin (0.0-control, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 %) at different press temperatures (170 and 190 °C). After conditioning of MDF, water absorption (WA) and thickness swelling (TS) of samples were carried out at specific intervals within 24 hours. Then, the data obtained from these experiment were modelled using ANN. Paraffin addition rate, press temperature and immersion time in water were used as the input parameters, while WA and TS values of MDF were used as the output parameters. After training of ANN, it was found that correlation coefficients (R) were close to 1 for training, validation, test and all data set. Mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and mean square error (MSE) were determined as 2.94 % and 0.57, respectively, for all data sets. As a result of this study, the use of proposed ANN model may be recommended to predict the water absorption and thickness swelling of panels instead of complex and time-consuming studies such as empirical formulas.

Authors: Kropivšek Jože , Jošt Matej , Grošelj Petra , Motik Darko , Pirc Barčić Andreja , Perić Ivana
Published: October 2019

The wood industry, as a traditional sector, represents a very important part of the economy in terms of ensuring a sustainable development of society and transition to a low-carbon society in both countries studied, Slovenia and Croatia. For its further development, it is crucial to know the current position of the industry. The best way to achieve this is an analysis of financial data and international comparative evaluation of its operational efficiency. The aim of the research is to compare the relative efficiency of the wood industry using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the Malmquist Productivity Index (MI), focusing on the Slovenian and Croatian wood industry sectors (C16 and C31) for a recent five-year period (from 2013-2017). With this purpose, the combined measure DEA/MI was applied. The analysis includes only the highest rated companies with more than fi ve employees, divided into 12 clusters regarding the company size. As a result, it was established that clusters CRO-C31- micro, CRO-C16-micro and SI-C16-larger have the highest operational efficiency, due to the effects of different financial indicators, especially activity and liquidity ratios. In general, within the grouped clusters regarding country and subsector, groups SI-C16 and CRO-C31 achieve the highest values for the average of weighted score of efficiency, while CRO-C16 achieves the lowest values.
ON THE OTHER HAND: THE COSTS AND BENEFITS OF LEFT-HANDEDNESS
Authors: Fritsche Sarah A. , Lindell Annukka K.
Published: October 2019

Left-handers have been persecuted by right-handers for millennia. This right bias is evident cross-culturally, linguistically (right is literally and figuratively ‘right’, with lefties being described as ‘gauche’, ‘sinister’ and ‘cack-handed’), and environmentally (e.g., equipment design, including power tools, ticket machines, and lecture-room desks). Despite this, the proportion of left-handers has remained constant at approximately 10% of the hominid population, implying that though there are costs associated with left-handedness (if there were not, the proportions of left- and right-handers would be 50:50), left handers must also enjoy fitness advantages that maintain the genes for left-handedness in the population. This paper reviews the costs and benefits of being left-handed, exploring research examining the effects of handedness on brain structure, cognitive function, and human behaviour. The research confirms a variety of left-hander advantages, including some cognitive superiorities, higher wages, and greater sporting and fighting prowess. On the other hand, left-handedness is also associated with significant fitness costs, including an increased risk of accidents, higher substance abuse susceptibility, and earlier death, in comparison with right-handers. In sum, left-handedness confers both costs and benefits, with the latter outweighing the former, maintaining the genes for left-handedness in the population.
NAMING DISORDERS IN LOGOPENIC VARIANT OF PRIMARY PROGRESSIVE APHASIA
Authors: Antczak-Kujawin Justyna
Published: October 2019

Language functions, particularly disordered lexical skills were diagnosed in the examined woman based on selected diagnostic tests of the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination (BDAE). Furthermore, an experimental version of the author's original test for assessing lexical-semantic performance in dementia was used.

The author presents a case study of a 79-year-old woman diagnosed with logopenic variant primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA) secondary to Alzheimer’s disease. The author describes the symptoms of anomie manifested by the study participant and the supplementary strategies she applied in the case of lexical deficits.

The analysis of the findings obtained in the course of language function assessment allowed the author to assess the fluency of speech, speech comprehension, repetition and naming. The study participant diagnosed with lvPPA was observed to manifest the following: an absence of motor speech disorders, absence of characteristics of evident agrammatism, preserved comprehension of individual words, preserved semantic knowledge of objects, disordered retrieval of words in spontaneous speech and in attempts to name, and disordered repetition of sentences and phrases.

The analysis of the discussed case study allowed the author to discuss the progressive lexical deficits manifested by the lvPPA patient and to record those supplementary strategies that were most frequently applied in the lexical difficulties experienced by the female patient diagnosed with lvPPA.

Published: October 2019

Background. The aim of this study was to present the medical, epidemiological and economic aspects of traumatic injuries in children and adolescents. The literature on the subject is scarce.
Material and methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the data of 1,138 children treated at the Department of Pediatric Surgery, Stefan Żeromski Specialized Hospital in Kraków between 2012 and 2016 on account of head, abdominal and pelvic, chest, testicular and musculoskeletal injuries. Age, sex, circumstances and type of the injury as well as concomitant damage were analyzed.
Results. Musculoskeletal injuries accounted for 68% of all the injuries analysed. The mean age of the patients was 6.3 years. The main causes of injury were same-level fall (30%), fall from a height (22.5%), road accidents (8%), and sports injuries (19%). 36% and 29% of the patients sustained injuries at home and at or near school, respectively.
Conclusions: 1. Traumatic injuries in children and adolescents are the most common cause of admissions to pediatric surgery departments, with musculoskeletal injuries being the most frequent among them. 2. Injuries occur most frequently at or near home or school. 3. The cost of treatment and hospital stay of patients with musculoskeletal injuries accounted for 50% of the total cost of treatment in the Department of Pediatric Surgery. 4. There is a need to develop and implement preventive and educational programs for parents, guardians, teachers and children to prevent injuries.
Evaluation and Comparison of the Effectiveness of Rehabilitation Procedures in the Area of ​Pain in the Lumbosacral Spine Performed in Sanatoria and Outpatient Conditions
Authors: Szewczyk Jakub , Polińska-Szewczyk Katarzyna , Tomaszewski Wiesław
Published: October 2019

Background. Low back pain is among the most frequent conditions of nowadays and due to its high prevalence, it is defined as a social and civilization-related disease.Today, increasingly young patients present with this condition affecting about 80% of the population. In Poland, 70% of the population complain of back pain and the prevalence rate increases with age. The treatment includes application of various procedures, both in outpatient conditions and in sanatoria. The aim of the study was to compare the effects of sanatorium treatment with those of outpatient treatment.
Material and methods. 240 patients with low back pain participated in the study. The sample was divided into two groups: 120 pa­tients undergoing treated in outpatient conditions and next, 120 patients undergoing sanatorium treatment. The research was based on survey in a form of a questionnaire, selected mobility tests and assessment of pain using thermal imaging camera and an algometer.
Results. The patients undergoing rehabilitation procedures in a sanatorium obtain improvement in terms of pain sensation (5.39 points in VAS scale) as compared with the patients undergoing rehabilitation in outpatient conditions (4.13 points in VAS scale) ; their results also indicate improvement in low back mobility (the obtained values, however, turned out statistically insignificant). Better results can be obtained by combining conventional rehabilitation with the approaches applied in sanatorium treatment, as confirmed by the assessment of each group of patients.
Conclusions. 1. Rehabilitation of patients with lumbar spine pain conditions conducted in spa conditions is a more effective treat­ment method than in an outpatient clinic and should be used universally. 2. Research is indicated to determine the effect of rest in a sanatorium (the ambience) involving low back pain relief.

Published: October 2019

Arthroplasty is currently a treatment of choice in advanced osteoarthritis. A register published in Sweden in 2017 showed that approximately 40% of hip arthroplasty procedures in patients whose osteoarthritis is secon­dary to childhood diseases are performed in individuals under 50 years of age.
We describe the treatment of a 42-year-old female patient after hip arthroplasty with a massive non-in­fec­tious inflammatory muscle infiltrate, who did recreational sports.
An individualised treatment and physiotherapy programme made it possible for the patient to fully resume her recreational sports activities.
Intentional Overscrewing of Humeral Head in Comminuted Fracture of Proximal Humerus and its Impact on Shoulder Function . A Case Study
Authors: Szczęsny Grzegorz , Ratajczak Karol , Fijewski Grzegorz , Małdyk Paweł
Published: October 2019

An 86-year-old female was operated on due to a comminuted fracture of the right proximal humerus whose configu­ration necessitated over-screwing of the humeral head to improve stability, with the screws directed divergently: anteriorly and poste­riorly, to minimize their conflict with the acetabulum. 3.5 years later she sustained a corresponding fracture of the left shoulder which was stabilized without over-screwing. On both occasions, the fractures were stabilized with titanium interlocking plates (ChM, Poland) and the limbs were immobilized in a shoulder brace for three weeks followed by in­tensive rehabilitation.
The patient attended a follow-up visit at 12 months (i.e. 52 months post the right shoulder fracture) which included an assess­ment of radiographs, pain and limb function as well as tests of the range of movement of the shoulder and girdle. Assessments were repeated at 12 and 18 months afterwards.
Patient denied limb pain and dysfunction. Abduction was reduced by 20°, which was compensated for by the scapulothoracic joint.
Shoulder (girdle) abduction reached 50° (150°) for the right and 70° (170°) for the left extremity. Flexion was reduced by 20°, but extension and rotations were comparable. At 12 months post fracture, no improvement of limb mobility was noted despite continued intensive physiotherapy.
X-rays showed satisfactory bone union. The patient scored 87 for the right and 89 for the left shoulder according to the Con­stant score and 6.8 points for each limb according to the QuickDash score.
Overscrewing of the humeral head is not the most beneficial method for improving stability of comminuted proximal humeral fractures; however, it may be used when alternative and more suitable methods are unavailable. Moreover, directing screws divergently anteriorly and posteriorly to minimize their conflict with the scapular acetabulum does not interfere with joint function outcomes.
Hybrid ZnO/ZnO-NPs nanofibres
fabricated via electrospinning
Authors: Matysiak W. , Zaborowska M.
Published: October 2019

Purpose: Due to the growing interest and multitude of possible applications, zinc oxide
nanowires, including those doped with ZnO nanoparticles, can became, alongside
carbon nanotubes, a very desirable material which use is predicted in the construction of
nanogenerators, dye sensitized solar cells, optoelectronics or ultrasensitive gas detectors.
Design/methodology/approach: The electrospinning process allows for low-cost
and scalable production of fibrous mats with diameters from a few to several hundred
nanometers. What is more, electrospinning method has gained popularity also due to its
versatility, now it is possible to produce fibres from almost every known polymer and the
simplicity and lack of any additional functionalization of the obtained nanomaterials. The
application of the calcination process to remove the polymer matrix from the obtained
nanofibres results in the creation of ceramic nanofibres.
Findings: Among the existing methods for the production of ceramic nanostructures, including
the hydrothermal, physical and chemical vapour deposition methods, nanolithography or
molecular self-assembly, the electrospinning process creates the possibility of fabricating
one-dimensional nanostructures with unprecedented properties, good quality, no additional
functionalization and purification.
Research limitations/implications: Due to ongoing research on the potential applications
of zinc oxide nanostructures, including photovoltaics, sensorics and electronics, the most
predictable behaviour and properties of ZnO nanowires characterize those nanomaterials
that exhibit a periodic structure of the crystal lattice. Considering the optimization of the
parameters of the method of producing ceramic zinc oxide nanowires doped with crystalline
ZnO nanoparticles, it is worth analysing the thermal treatment parameters of nanofibres.
Practical implications: Although amorphous structure, hybrid ZnO nanofibres could
be used as humidity sensors with much higher sensing properties than crystalline ZnO
nanostructures.
Originality/value: Low-cost, scalable production of ceramic nanofibres for most technical
applications.

Levantamento e análise das principais condicionantes da percepção de segurança na sociedade brasileira e proposta de um modelo de atuação para a PMSE
Authors: Souza Jefferson Roberto Menezes de , Silva Carlos Eduardo
Published: October 2019

O presente trabalho abordou a importância de se considerar a sensação de (in)segurança sentida pela população, como base na formulação de políticas de segurança pública voltadas ao exercício pleno da cidadania. Para isso, buscou-se na literatura as principais contribuições de autores acerca dos principais condicionantes que influenciam na percepção de segurança por parte do indivíduo, bem como os fatores que o colocam em exposição ao risco. Na discussão sobre violência e criminalidade, diversos condicionantes foram apontados como importantes para a compreensão dos níveis de sensação de insegurança, tais como: o aumento da criminalidade; a influência dos meios de comunicação; e atributos do próprio indivíduos, tais como: cor, gênero, renda, idade, dentre outras características sociodemográficas. Foram utilizados como material empírico os dados da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios - PNAD (2009) e da Pesquisa de vitimização realizada pela SENASP, publicada em 2017, dando-se um enfoque maior aos índices do estado de Sergipe, traçando-se um ligeiro comparativo com a média nacional. Ao final do estudo foi traçada uma matriz SWOT da Polícia Militar do Estado de Sergipe, a partir da qual foram propostas políticas de segurança pública com os objetivos de, através das atividades de policiamento ostensivo, buscar reduzir a insegurança junto à população sergipana.
Geração solar fotovoltaica como proposta para redução do custo da energia elétrica de uma instituição de ensino superior
Authors: Rodrigues Glauco Oliveira , Negrini Fernando , Eidt Wagner , Simonetto Eugênio de Oliveira , Barros Roni Storti de
Published: October 2019

A energia solar é considerada uma fonte de energia limpa e renovável, pois utiliza a radiação solar para a geração de energia elétrica, diminuindo os impactos causados ao meio ambiente. Apesar de ainda ser considerada uma fonte de energia que necessita de altos investimentos, os custos para implantação de placas solares fotovoltaicas vêm diminuindo ao longo dos anos, o que tem possibilitado a ampliação do uso desta fonte de energia para os mais variados fins. O objetivo deste artigo é simular cenários para verificar o impacto da utilização de placas solares fotovoltaicas em uma Instituição de Ensino Superior (IES), com o intuito de gerar energia elétrica que supra parcialmente (50%) ou totalmente (100%) o consumo elétrico desta IES. Com isso, pretende-se identificar qual a economia financeira gerada pela adoção de placas fotovoltaicas. O método utilizado foi Dinâmica de Sistemas, o qual permite o estudo do comportamento dos sistemas ao longo do tempo, possibilitando a avaliação das consequências de nossas decisões. Foi desenvolvido um modelo de simulação que foi validado por três cenários diferentes. Os resultados gerados pelo modelo de simulação indicam que a implantação de placas solares fotovoltaicas para geração de energia elétrica é uma alternativa que proporcionará redução de gastos com energia elétrica a longo prazo.

Published: October 2019

Indicadores podem ser compreendidos como uma medida que busca sintetizar informações relevantes de um dado fenômeno, analisando seu comportamento ao longo de um espaço temporal. Quando utilizados para análise da vulnerabilidade socioambiental o uso dessa ferramenta se torna fundamental, pois permite a identificação de bairros vulneráveis e facilita seu monitoramento temporal, viabilizando o acompanhamento das variáveis analisadas. Neste sentido, este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a vulnerabilidade socioambiental da cidade de Natal/RN, a partir de um conjunto de indicadores que enfatizam as questões sociais e ambientais e que caracterizam o cenário urbano brasileiro. Para tanto, realizou-se um estudo exploratório e descritivo, por meio da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Os resultados apontam que o nível de vulnerabilidade socioambiental para a cidade de Natal foi de 0,4709, classificado como ‘Alto’. Esse resultado é considerado insatisfatório e preocupante, pois coloca a cidade frente a muitas problemáticas que demandam urgência na sua resolução, como forma de garantir condições mínimas de qualidade de vida aos seus citadinos. No entanto, é importante salientar a importância de analisar a cidade com um olhar mais direcionado para cada tema e cada indicador analisado e identificar quais deles necessitam de mais atenção para sanar as problemáticas que os envolvem.

Detectar rapidamente animais que precisam de atenção extra devido a problemas de saúde ou bem-estar são essenciais. Estas anormalidades podem ser detectadas pelas mudanças no tempo padrão gasto pelo animal em atividades cotidianas como, de pé, deitado, comendo, ruminando ou andando. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar o comportamento de bovinos por meio de monitoramento animal utilizando sensores de posicionamento GPS, sensores inerciais e algoritmos de reconhecimento de padrões. Os animais foram observados por um analista de domínio e seus comportamentos foram anotados por meio de um software que confere precisão e facilita o treinamento dos algoritmos de classificação supervisionados. Os sensores, de baixo custo, foram montados em colares e instalados em 11 bovinos no pasto, num total de 42 dias incontínuos, enquanto esses animais foram observados à distância, e os seus comportamentos registrados, num total de 97 horas, em que foram anotados 35.211 comportamentos. Para este conjunto de dados foi obtida uma taxa média de acerto de 91,6% de classificação das atividades analisadas: pastando, andando, deitado descansando, deitado ruminando, de pé descansando e de pé ruminando.

Propôs-se com a presente pesquisa avaliar a qualidade agronômica da cenoura sob níveis de salinidade da água de irrigação e tipos de adubação orgânica por meio da análise multivariada. O experimento foi desenvolvido em casa de vegetação da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande (UFCG). Os tratamentos foram cinco níveis de salinidade da água (S1: 0,7; S2: 1,4; S3: 2,1; S4: 2,8; S5: 3,5 dS m-1) e dois tipos de adubação (solo sem adubação orgânica e solo com adubação orgânica– húmus de minhoca). O delineamento foi em blocos casualizados, com 3 repetições. Aos 90 dias após a emergência foram avaliados altura de plantas, número de folhas, área foliar, diâmetro inferior e superior da raiz, massa fresca e seca da raiz e teor de sólidos totais (°Brix). O uso das técnicas de multivariadas mostrou-se uma ferramenta útil no estudo entre as correlações dos diferentes níveis de salinidade da água de irrigação e os tipos de adubação, a fim de verificar o efeito na qualidade agronômica de cenoura. O nível de salinidade de 0,7 dSm-1 associada a adubação com húmus de minhoca favoreceu a qualidade agronômica das raízes de cenoura.  O efeito da salinidade nos níveis elevados foi atenuado pela adubação orgânica.

La monitorización y la gestión de la Desertificación requieren de indicadores útiles y sencillos de aplicar que detecten a tiempo el momento crítico antes de que ésta sea irreversible. El presente trabajo analiza la universalidad de uno de estos indicadores, la relación entre número y tamaño de parches de vegetación, cuyo uso ha sido recomendado para monitorizar la desertificación, aplicándolo a encinares del Sistema Ibérico a lo largo de gradientes simultáneos de aridez y de uso.
Estructuras profesionales de España en 1860: vigencia de las actividades económicas tradicionales e industrialización incipiente
Authors: Gozálvez Pérez Vicente , Martín-Serrano Rodríguez Gabino
Published: October 2019

La interpretación y valoración de las estadísticas de la población ocupada según el Censo de 1860 requieren, entre otras precauciones, la consulta previa de las normativas censales dictadas por la Comisión de Estadística. En el artículo se alude a las principales normas que podrían introducir distorsiones en las cifras de las profesiones publicadas, a resultas de: definiciones discutibles para algunas profesiones; subregistro del trabajo de las mujeres; inscripción del mismo censado en dos o más profesiones preestablecidas, etc. Las normativas censales también incluyen otras causas indirectas que pudieron alterar los resultados estadísticos de las profesiones, entre las que destaca la perentoriedad extrema exigida por la Comisión a las Juntas provinciales del Censo, acompañada de presiones políticas sobre sus Presidentes. Como parte central del texto se comentan distintos mapas referidos a las estructuras profesionales de la población ocupada, elegidos entre los más representativos o indicativos de la situación económica de España, al mismo tiempo que se valoran sus posibles alteraciones vinculadas a las peculiares normativas censales de la Comisión. Aunque las cifras absolutas de ocupados en 1860 puedan estar deformadas por exceso –dobles inscripciones- y sobre todo por defecto –subregistros por causas múltiples-, o incluso por definiciones inadecuadas de algunas profesiones, su valoración positiva parece variable según profesiones; no obstante la validez de las cifras porcentuales de las profesiones, salvo casos excepcionales, parece más asumible a efectos comparativos y prospectivos
Cultural identity of urban communities of the historical reenactors
Authors: Bozhok Nikolay Sergeevich
Published: October 2019

The object of this research is the cultural identity of urban communities of the historical reenactors. The subject of the author’s scientific interest is the mechanisms and practices substantiating the specificity of positive cultural identity of the communities, united within the framework of the historical reenactment movement. The article examines the dominant trends in the development of modern reenactment movement: trend towards the fragmentation of movement and complication of the structure of collective identity, and intention towards unity. Special attention is given to the identification of mechanisms that allow retaining and maintaining balance between the processes of differentiation and integration of reenactment movement. Methodologically, the author’s understanding of the specificity of collective identity of the historical reenactors is based on the theoretical ideas of H. Blumer, N. Smelser and P. Sztompka, as well as the theory of new social movements that focus attention on their sociocultural dimension. The scientific novelty consists in the fact that this article is first to comprehensively analyze cultural components of the collective identity of the historical reenactment movement; as well as determine its structural components, mechanism and characteristic attributes. It is substantiated that under the influence of the modern global trends, cultural identity of reenactors along with the basic components attaints the new ones that contribute to the expansion of cultural-historical mobility and cohesion of reenactment movement.
Social construction of tourism attractiveness of the Russian cities
Authors: Rogach Olga Vladimirovna
Published: October 2019

The subject of this research is the Russian experience of social construction of tourism attractiveness of the territories. The object of this research is the practices of participation of the local residents in designing tourist destinations; advantages and consequences of the conversion of social capital of the local society into job opportunities, urban infrastructure, new social relations and symbolic goods. The author meticulously examines the multiplicative effect of involvement of the local population in creating formation of tourism attractiveness of the territory; reveals the advantages and risks of initiating the process of social construction. Particular attention is given to the analysis of interdependent relations of the local citizens that ensure holistic positioning of the territory as attractive for tourists. The empirical foundation for this research includes the following cities: Moscow, Veliky Ustyug, Myshkin, and Dzhubga. The leading research method is the traditional document analysis. For verification of research results, the author applies the methods of observation and questionnaire-based online survey on the Google platform. The main conclusions consist in the theses on multiplicative effect of the involvement of local population in social construction (formation and content of the professional-structural network, development of entrepreneurship, creative clusters, etc.). The author’s main contribution into this study lies in determining the need for structuring the conceptual row (symbolic status of the city), around which would develop social interactions between the local residents. Such approach allows creating the range of interrelated tourist products or services functioning in conceptual connection with each other.

Alanine-serine-cysteine transporter 2 (ASCT2, SLC1A5) is the primary transporter of glutamine in cancer cells and regulates the mTORC1 signaling pathway. The SLC1A5 function involves finely tuned orchestration of two domain movements that include the substrate-binding transport domain and the scaffold domain. Here, we present cryo-EM structures of human SLC1A5 and its complex with the substrate, L-glutamine in an outward-facing conformation. These structures reveal insights into the conformation of the critical ECL2a loop which connects the two domains, thus allowing rigid body movement of the transport domain throughout the transport cycle. Furthermore, the structures provide new insights into substrate recognition, which involves conformational changes in the HP2 loop. A putative cholesterol binding site was observed near the domain interface in the outward-facing state. Comparison with the previously determined inward-facing structure of SCL1A5 provides a basis for a more integrated understanding of substrate recognition and transport mechanism in the SLC1 family.
Teologia e Antropologia em diálogo
Authors: Lima José da Silva
Published: October 2019

Nascida como estudo relativo aos deuses mitológicos (Platão), a Teologia foi-se edificando ao longo duma aventura de formação de comunidades cristãs e a partir delas; granjeou estatuto epistémico na áurea medieval; dialogou com as ciências sociais e humanas «como rainha» e aceitou mais recentemente a índole interdisciplinar, depois da eclosão da secularização. Apresentam-se alguns métodos antropológicos hodiernos no estudo da Teologia e reflete-se sobre um diálogo recíproco das duas disciplinas (Teologia e Antropologia).
Teología y psicoanálisis
Authors: Morano Carlos Domínguez
Published: October 2019

O artigo propõe-se abordar possíveis relações entre Teologia e Psicanálise, partindo das posições iniciais desta nova ciência e das questões antropológicas que coloca. Embora inicialmente tenha havido dificuldades em a Teologia se aproximar a essas questões, sendo antes a Psicanálise a interessar-se pelo fenómeno religioso, contudo progressivamente foram surgindo tentativas de colocar as questões a partir de uma perspetiva teológica. Depois de apresentar as mais isgnificativas tentativas de aproximação, sobretudo em Espanha, colocam-se cinco questões a uma Teologia que leve a sério o desafio freudiano: a do dogma que deriva em dogmatismo; a da representação de Deus como fantasma do pai omnipotente; a do conceito de salvação como impasse nos meandros de Édipo; a da lei e do ideal, onde as questões do amor e do ódio temem ser reconhecidas nas suas dimensões autênticas, e a questão, finalmente, da autoridade como figuração do tudo-saber e tudo-poder, que se empenha em mostrar-se como possível e ao alcance da mão, através da submissão ou da rebelião em relação às figuras da instituição.
