Agrobiotechnologies in the Italian media. A study carried out by the Osservatorio di Pavia
Authors: Esposto Enrico
Published: August 2018

Over the last few years the media ­ and especially television ­ have focussed on presumed health emergencies such as mad-cow disease, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), the Di Bella cancer-cure case and the Lipobay case. Topics such as these have a strong emotional impact on public opinion and subscribe to the dictates of the ratings rather than following the more or less prescriptive rules of scientific communication. In a highly competitive environment, if the ratings prevail against information, it is obvious that news follows the rules of fiction, health reports become mere entertainment, and moderation and accuracy give way to triviality, overstatement and alarmism. The loyalty of the target audience becomes the ultimate aim of the communicator, because that is what the advertisers are interested in. There is no point in blaming the journalists, though they too share the responsibility of this phenomenon. The mechanism seems to be exactly the same for all kinds of "emergencies": immigration, criminality, weather changes, new diseases, war. The format prevails over the event. Communication depends less and less on the topic and more and more on the medium, the debate on GMOs being no exception.

Hinari and Agora: free access to scientific information for poor countries
Authors: Tola Elisabetta
Published: August 2018

In the midst of a debate on access to information, the World Health Organization and the FAO have decided to develop a strategy to guarantee the right of poor countries to have free access to scientific publications. This right is often denied, mainly because of high subscription costs. For this reason, universities and research centres in southern countries must forego buying magazines, which are a valuable instrument for updating, and exchanging information on research and scientific issues. This choice has been made in an historical period when the industrialized world is marked by a knowledge-based economy.

Science and the international public opinion
Authors: Greco Pietro
Published: August 2018

On 16 January 2004, the United Nations Secretary-General and Nobel Peace Prize winner Kofi Annan launched a Global Media Aids Initiative, with the aim of convincing the press, radio, television and Internet to join the fight against what has been called the "forgotten disease of the forgotten continent". Throughout the world, over 40 million people have the Hiv virus. In 2003 there were 5 million new infections and 3 million deaths were caused by Aids.
Conflicting interests: research, profits, information, health
Authors: Sturloni Giancarlo , Pitrelli Nico
Published: August 2018

On 15 September 2001, thirteen major international journals, coordinated by the International Committee of Medical Journals Editors (ICMJE), published a joint editorial titled "Sponsorship, authorship, and accountability". Unfortunately, only four days from the tragedy of 9-11, there is no room in the media for other news. In the scientific world, however, the content of that editorial sets off an alarm: the conflict of interest undermines the objectivity of biomedical research and the credibility of international journals vouchsafeing the quality of that research.

The wise and the ignorant, or a dangerous distinction for Latin America
Authors: Polino Carmelo
Published: August 2018

Never have there been so much science and so much technology on so many sides as now. The expansion of scientific information in the social sphere is frankly impressive. In newspapers and movies, on television and radio, scientific ideas circulate freely every day of the week. Science is in cell phones, shampoo, compact discs, Olympic athletes' clothing, food, perfumes, and in so many places that trying to enumerate them would be insane. After all, why should it be particularly strange to speak of science and technology if scientific thought finally molds our deepest fibers? Today's society, developed or not, lives immersed in a scientific and technological culture which guides the course of the most fundamental events. Even though, of course, the common sense obliges us to admit that the majority of us are not fully conscious of its reach and consequences. Perhaps this helps to understand why we still feel a certain shame when, in a social gathering, we comment that our profession consists of spreading science or analyzing the ways in which it circulates and its repercussions in the public opinion. It may be that we live with the fear that someone will look at us strangely and with disbelief and ask us to explain what scientific communication or the social studies of science consist of or, worse yet, that we find ourselves in the embarrassing situation of rehearsing an answer to justify the importance of thinking about science in daily life.
BBC radio science: challenges and opportunities
Authors: Redfern Martin
Published: August 2018

Historical background The BBC Radio Science Unit has its roots in two radio networks, going back more than 40 years. In the late 1950s, BBC External Services (now World Service), appointed a science correspondent and began a weekly science magazine programme. Initially called `Science and Industry', it changed its name in about 1964 to `Science in Action'. It is still running today, after more than 2000 editions, probably making it the longest running science show on radio.
Is Darwin on the cross?
Authors: Greco Pietro
Published: August 2018

The question was raised in the 4th November copy of The New York Times when it entitled the editorial of Garry Wills (political and cultural historian), regarding the re-election of George W. Bush, "The Day the Enlightenment Went Out". Wills' theory, with which the directors of the newspaper palpably concur, is that Bush was re-elected because "many more Americans believe in the Virgin Birth than in Darwin's theory of evolution".
Science Communication around the World: eyes on Brazil

In this Focus we will try to analyze the debate on standard or alternative models of communication of science that can be seen in the practice of science journalism and popular science in Brazil.
Science, Communication and Society in Brazil, the narrative of deficit
Authors: Evangelista Rafael , Kanashiro Marta M.
Published: August 2018

If there is a peculiarity in the way of doing science and in the way of communicating science in Brazil, it is in the use of the idea of "deficit" in political and economic discourses, as well as in the discourses of socio-technical networks. Our proposal here is not to affirm or reject the existence of this deficit, but rather to understand its workings and its construction as a way of bringing about networks of interest that make use of this idea. For us, this is not an idea which is restricted to the discourse of researchers or of journalists and scientific broadcasters; there is also an echo in the general society, and in different spheres and situations. The idea of deficit with regard to scientific knowledge is functional in Brazil, in conjunction with the idea that the country itself has a deficiency in relation to developed countries. It is as if there were two levels of deficit which join together and empower each other.
Understanding How the Public Perceives the Importance of University Research in the United States
Authors: Jensen Ric
Published: August 2018

Most universities in the United States have little or no idea about how the public perceives the importance of research done at these institutions. Learning whether the public believes academic research is valuable, meaningful, and practical has implications for higher education, if the public believes that university research is of little worth. This project utilized naturalistic and qualitative methods to learn how alumni perceived the importance of research at a major public university with a heavy concentration in research (Texas A&M University). Long interviews using open-ended questions were conducted with 133 alumni at 33 locations in Texas. Interviews were transcribed, unitized, and coded using qualitative methods, and themes were identified. Findings provide insights into whether the public believes university research is important, how the public learns about research, whether public relations programs are effective, the importance of research and teaching, and the types of research the public wants universities to pursue. A framework is proposed to learn about how well the public understands science and to measure the effectiveness of media and education programs to raise both science awareness and understanding of science.

Science Journalism in Latin America: A case study of seven newspapers in the region
Authors: Massarani Luisa , Buys Bruno , Amorim Luis Henrique , Veneu Fernanda
Published: August 2018

The objective of this article is to present a panorama of the way in which journalistic coverage of science and technological themes is being carried out in Latin America, having as a case study seven newspapers of significant impact in the region. We analyzed all stories published by the science section during all the month of April 2004, in the following newspapers: La Nación, Argentina; El Mercurio, Chile; Mural, Mexico; El Comercio, Ecuador; O Globo, Folha de S. Paulo and Jornal do Commercio/Pernambuco, Brazil. A total of 482 texts were collected. The methodology joins quantitative and qualitative analysis. There are very few studies on science journalism in Latin America and even fewer that seek to explore a comparison among countries. We believe that studies such as ours can provide subsidies to stimulate the improvement of journalistic coverage of scientific and technological issues.
Scaling up communication of scientific information to rural communities
Authors: Luen Heong Kong , Escalada Monina
Published: August 2018

A wide gap exists between what scientists and rural farmers know. The rapid advancements in digital technology are likely to widen this gap even further. At the farmers' level, this knowledge gap often translates into poor and inefficient management of resources resulting in reduced profits and environmental pollution. Most modern rice cultivars can easily yield more than 5 tons per hectare when well managed, but millions of farmers often get less than 5 tons using the same production inputs.

Beautiful guides. The value of explainers in science communication
Authors: Rodari Paola , Xanthoudaki Maria
Published: August 2018

During the last annual conference of ECSITE (European Collaborative for Science and Technology Exhibitions; Helsinki, June 2005), for the first time two discussion sessions were devoted to explainers, the innumerable people – young students mainly – who welcome visitors at exhibitions, museums and festivals, who animate laboratories and science shows, who guide, explain and lately also stimulate and manage discussions and participatory procedures. Thanks to the involvement of the speakers, who agreed to submit a broadened version of their papers, JCOM is glad to host the proceedings of these meetings. A great deal has to be done yet in order to analyse the complex European context and to fully understand the explainer’s professional profile.
History of the museums, the mediators and scientific education
Authors: Zana Brigitte
Published: August 2018

Before analysing the role of the mediators in relation to scientific education, I deem it important to provide a short overview on how scientific museums evolved from the early curiosity cabinets to the modern web cast. Although the term “museum” is no longer adapted to the new structures employed for the diffusion of scientific and technical culture, the evolution of the means of presentation has indeed led to several forms of human mediation. This is of course the main topic we are going to take into consideration today, as it is an important element for the impact our exhibitions may have on the public. Decisions and choices vary from structure to structure for reasons that are sometimes justifiable but that are more often than not economic in nature, since wages, which are in any case very high no matter which country plays host, come to bear heavily especially on the budget of small and medium-sized structures.
Training science centre Explainers. The Techniquest experience
Authors: Johnson Colin
Published: August 2018

Techniquest was established in 1986, and in 1995 moved to its current premises at Cardiff Bay, South Wales. This was the first purpose-built science centre in the UK. It receives around 200,000 visitors every year to its exhibition, and to its programmes for schools and public audiences in the theatre, laboratory, discovery room and planetarium. The author joined the Techniquest project in 1985, became a staff member in 1990 and was the Chief Executive from 1997 until his retirement in 2004. Techniquest has three “out-stations” in Wales, and is responsible for the supply and maintenance of exhibits to the Look Out Discovery Centre in Bracknell, England. There is a Techniquest gallery at the Lisbon Pavilhão do Conhecimento - Ciência Viva, and a traveling exhibition, SciQuest, in South Africa which was also supplied by Techniquest. All these centres rely on the effective intervention of “Explainers” (at Techniquest we call them “Helpers”) to provide the best possible experience for visitors. At its most demanding, the tasks of an Explainer are varied and intensive, yet there may be times when the duties are mundane or even dull. When you rely on people to act as both hosts and housekeepers, to provide both support and stimulus, and to be both welcoming and watchful, you are asking a great deal. This article raises some of the issues concerned with the recruitment and retention of Explainers, their training and management, and the way in which their role is recognized and valued by the science centre as a whole.
Iris Murdoch Eserlerinde Modern Yabancılaşma Olgusu
Authors: Metin Barlık Memet
Published: August 2018

Bilimsel, sosyal ve kültürel bağlamını 19. yüzyıldan alan modernizm, dönem olarak yirminci yüzyılın ilk yarısında oluşan sanatsal, edebi ve felsefi akımları tanımlamak için kullanılan bir etikettir. Her ne kadar, modernizm şekilsel bakımdan ‘yeniyi’, ‘yenilenmeyi’ kast eden olumlu bir anlam çağrıştırsa da, sosyal yansımalarına bakıldığında, modern toplum bireylerinin medeniyetin oluşturduğu ilkelere güvenmediği, dini değerlerden uzaklaştığı, sonuç olarak, yalnızlaştığı ve kendine ve yaşadığı topluma yabancılaştığı gözlenir. Yirminci yüzyıl İngiliz felsefeci ve yazarlarından Iris Murdoch, çağdaş insanın iletişimsizlik ve yabancılaşma sorunlarını eserlerinde kaleme alan bir yazardır. Murdoch, eserlerinde yabancılaşmanın sevgisiz, içtensiz, yapay ve kırılgan ilişkilerden kaynaklandığını savunur. Bireylerarası sağlıklı ve uzun süreli ilişkilerin sevmek ve başkalarını içtenlikle dikkate almakla yaşanabileceğini belirtir; hayal, rastlantı, olasılık ve aşkınlığın sevginin oluşmasında etkili ve yardımcı kavramlar olduğunu vurgular. Yazar, bu yardımcı kavramların içtenlikle aktifleştirilmesinin, çağdaş insanın yabancılaşmasının önüne geçebileceğine dikkat çeker. Murdoch, modern toplum bireylerinin ben merkezli iletişimlerle, bir tür ‘modern yabancılaşma’ sorunu yaşadığını ortaya koyar. Bireyler arası ilişkilerde sanatın önemi, sevginin rolü ve kapsadığı kavramların fonksiyonlarını Under The Net(1954), The Nice And The Good (1968), A Fairly Honorable Defeat (1970) ve The Black Prince (1973) adlı eserlerinde dile getirmektedir. Bu makalede Iris Murdoch’ın sözkonusu eserlerinde, modern insanın kendine ve topluma yabancılaşmasına çözüm olarak sunduğu ahlaki değerler betimleyici yönüyleriyle incelenip irdelenmiştir.
Kalıtsalcılık-Çevrecilik Tartışması Bağlamında Lenneberg' in Dil Kuramı ve Kriti
Authors: Önal Özay
Published: August 2018

Nature-nurture tartışması, doğum öncesinden getirilen kalıtsal özelliklerin mi (nature) yoksa ve çevrenin mi (nurture) bireyin bilişsel gelişiminde etkin olduğu üzerinedir. Kalıtsalcılar doğum öncesinden getirilen özelliklerin gelişimde başat olduğunu ileri sürerken, çevreciler gelişimin sosyal ve fiziksel çevreden beslendiğini savlar. Bir kalıtsalcı olan Lenneberg, Dilin Biyolojik Temelleri adlı kitabında sunduğu kuramında, dil yetisinin ortaya çıkmasını sağlayan insan fizyolojisindeki evrimsel değişim; biliş-dil ilişkisi; dilin doğası ve anadili edinimini yöneten biyolojik süreçler gibi başlıkları, insan (ve hayvan) fizyolojisine dair ağırlıklı olarak ölçmeye dayalı gözlemsel bulgular ışığında açıklamaya çalışmıştır. Kuramının önemli ve tamamlayıcı bir parçasını Kritik Dönem Varsayımı oluşturur. Varsayıma göre, çocuklarda sağlıklı anadili edinimi ancak ergenliğin başlangıcı olan 12 yaşına kadar gerçekleşebilir. Bu evreden sonra beyin esnekliği azalır ve işlevsel yanallaşma tamamlanır. Lenneberg’in dil kuramını izleyen neredeyse yarım asırlık süreç içinde çoğu çevrecilik odaklı yeni kuramlar geliştirilmiş, zihnin çalışma ilkelerine dair yeni bulgulara ulaşılmıştır. Ancak, Lenneberg’in yaptığı kimi saptamaların esasen kalıtsalcılık karşıtı duruş sergileyen kesimlerce de dikkate değer bulunduğu görülmektedir. Dolayısıyla, Lenneberg’in kendinden sonraki biliş ve dil çalışmalarına önemli bir zemin hazırladığı söylenebilir.
Marksizm ve Romantizm arasında: Ernst Blochun Eserlerinde Çocukluk ve Eğitim
Authors: Cemiloğlu Nina
Published: August 2018

Ernst Bloch, Frankfurt Ekolü eleştirel teori ile ilişkili bir 20. yüzyıl Alman filozofudur. Güneybatı Almanya’da bir işçi şehri olan Ludwigshafen’de 1885 yılında doğmuştur. Kant, Fichte, Schelling, Hegel ve Marx’tan etkilenmiş, Freud’un psikanaliz teorisini ise eleştirmiştir. Theodor W. Adorno, Georg Lukács, Bertolt Brecht ve Walter Benjamin ile yakın ilişkide olup fikir telakkisinde bulunmuştur. Esas ilgi alanı insanlığın ütopyaya ulaşma arzusudur. Onun en önemli felsefi çalışmaları, birinci Dünya Savaşı esnasında bir pasifist olarak sürgünde bulunduğu İsviçre’de yazdığı Ütopya Ruhu (1918) ve ikinci Dünya Savaşı ve sonrasındaki soğuk savaş döneminde sürgünde yaşadığı ABD’de (Bloch bir yahudi olduğundan Nazi rejiminden kaçmak zorunda kalmıştır) yazdığı Umut İlkesi (1959)’dir.
Bu makale Bloch’un daha az bilinen Pädagogica (1971) eseri hakkında olup, makalenin amacı, Bloch'un çocukluk ve eğitime yönelik görüşlerini ortaya koymaktır. İnceleme üç bölüme ayrılır: Birinci bölüm Bloch'un çocukluk ve gençliği hakkında olup, odağında Bloch’un doğduğu, merkezinde büyük bir kimya fabrikası bulunan işçi şehri Ludwigshafen ile daha varlıklı ve kültürlü ailelerin yaşadığı komşu şehir Mannheim arasındaki karşıtlık bulunmaktadır. İkinci bölüm çocukluk ve eğitim üzerine Bloch'un düşünceleri ve Romantik düşünce arasındaki yakınlığı mercek altına alıyor. Bu bölüm Bloch’un çocukluk ve eğitim hakkındaki düşünceleriyle, bu iki konunun aşağıdaki Romantik edebi metinlerde ele alınışı arasındaki paralellikleri inceliyor: William Blake'in “Okul Çocuğu”, Samuel Taylor Coleridge'ın “Geceyarısı Soğuğu”, William Wordsworth'un “Kalbim Hopluyor” ve Johann Wolfgang von Goethe'nin Genç Werther'in Acıları. Üçüncü bölüm Bloch'un geleneksel eğitim sistemine eleştirilerini ele alır. Bu bölüm Marksist ve Romantik fikirlerin onun üzerindeki etkisine dikkat çekiyor ve Bloch’un olası farklı bir ütopik eğitim anlayışı hakkındaki vizyonunu özetliyor. Lütfen şu metinlerdeki tercümelerin tamamının tarafımdan gerçekleştirilmiş olduğunu dikkate alınız: Das Prinzip Hoffnung (Umut İlkesi), Pädagogica, Spuren (İzler) ve Literarische Aufsätze (Edebi Denemeler).
Hayatın Anlamını Semboller Üzerinden Okumak: Dünyanın Boğulmuş En Güzel Adamı
Authors: Tekin Burcu
Published: August 2018

İnsanoğlu yaşadığı zaman dilimi boyunca hem ruhsal hem de fiziksel bağlamda deneyimlediği olaylar vasıtasıyla hayatını anlamlandırmaya çalışır. İnsanın kendi yolunu belirleyebilmesi ve hayatın anlamını keşfetmesi uzun ve zorlu bir yolculuktur. Edebiyat insanın bu yolculuğunda en yakınındaki danışma kaynaklarındandır. Eserler insanın algısının gelişmesini ve olaylara farklı açılardan bakmasını sağlar. Farklı bakış açısı geliştirmenin alternatif yollarından biri de sembollerin yorumlanmasıdır. Eserlerde geçen sembollerin farklı kaynaklar yardımıyla keşfi şüphesiz okurun hayatına anlam kazandıran ve okurun yüksek bir bilince ulaşmasını sağlayan önemli bir düşünsel egzersizdir. Bu çalışma Latin Amerika’da Büyülü Gerçekçilik akımının öncülerinden ve dünya edebiyatının önemli kalemlerinden Gabriel García Márquez’in Dünyanın Boğulmuş En Güzel Adamı adlı öyküsünde hayatın anlamının semboller üzerinden yorumlanmasının aktarılmasından oluşmaktadır. Öyküde Karayipler’de bir köyün deniz kıyısında boğulmuş bir adamın bulunmasıyla süregelen olaylar anlatılmaktadır. Deniz kıyısında köyün çocukları tarafından bulunan ve köyün kadınları tarafından adı Esteban koyulan bu ölünün hayata dair hiçbir amacı bulunmayan köyü nasıl canlandırdığı ve köyde yaşanan değişimin sonuçları yorumlanmıştır. Konunun daha net anlaşılabilmesi ve özümsenmesi amacıyla öncelikle yazarın hayatı, eserleri ve edebi dönemlerinin kısa ve öz değerlendirilmesi yapılmıştır. Bu değerlendirmenin ardından sembol kavramının anlamı, önemi ve kullanım şekilleri genel hatlarıyla verilmiştir. Sembol, edebiyat ve mitoloji arasındaki etkileşime dikkat çekilmiş ve bu temellendirmenin sonrasında öyküde tespit edilen sembollerin hayatın anlamına ilişkin etkileşimi sunulmaya çalışılmıştır.

As doenças cerebrovasculares e cardíacas estão ligadas diretamente com a qualidade e hábitos de vida que as pessoas possuem. A prevenção é essencial para que se promova uma sociedade mais consciente dos riscos que podem cursar com essas doenças. Assim, objetivou-se relacionar as pontuações totais e parciais obtidas no questionário QSAVI-AVE quanto ao sexo, raça, renda, faixa etária e comparou a pontuação total dos adultos entrevistados com a pontuação de corte obtida por pacientes acometidos por AVE. Para este estudo, uma amostra de 471 indivíduos considerados saudáveis, acima de 30 anos, que residiam ou visitavam a cidade de Porto Velho, responderam corretamente ao instrumento QSAVE-AVE e os resultados foram comparados tendo como nota de corte 68 pontos onde valores iguais ou acima destes sãos indicativos de maiores chances de desenvolver o AVE. Observou-se que as mulheres apresentam maiores risco. A raça parda e a renda de 1,5 salário mínimo mensal foram características da população. O sexo feminino, a faixa etária que contempla de 30 a 59 anos e as rendas mais baixas e a mais alta apresentaram maiores risco para desenvolver a doença. Existe uma diversidade em cada região do país, porém estudos corroboram com os achados encontrados nesta pesquisa. Conclui-se que mulheres, indivíduos de baixa renda e pardos são características sociodemográficas da amostra e o sexo feminino, as faixas etárias que contemplam de 30 a 59 anos e rendas mais baixas e a mais alta possuem risco mais elevado para desenvolver o AVE.

Published: August 2018

A região amazônica concentra a maior riqueza de serpentes do Brasil, entretanto algumas localidades possuem a fauna sub-amostrada. A microrregião de Alvorada Do Oeste é a menos amostrada quanto a presença de serpentes no Estado de Rondônia. Os registros ocasionais correspondem a uma metodologia complementar a outros métodos herpetofaunísticos, representando muitas vezes grande parte da amostra. Este estudo surgiu com a finalidade de apresentar a presença de espécies de serpentes por meio de encontros ocasionais e/ou por terceiros no município de Alvorada do Oeste, estado de Rondônia. Para avaliar as serpentes foi solicitado a voluntários que enviassem imagens de serpentes encontradas no município. Foram recebidas imagens e relatos de 20 serpentes, divididas em 11 espécies e quatro famílias, sendo Boa constrictor a espécie de maior representatividade com seis registros. Algumas espécies possuem hábitos florestais e dependem de ambientes bem conservados ou com pouco nível de antropização e outras espécies registradas aqui não são comuns em outros estudos realizados no Estado de Rondônia. Apesar de algumas espécies apresentarem ampla distribuição geográfica, ainda existem poucas informações acerca das serpentes da região, evidenciando a necessidade desse estudo. O total de espécies registrado no presente estudo pode não representar a fauna real, visto que somente um método amostral foi utilizado. Sugere-se que novos estudos sejam realizados a fim de conhecer ainda melhor a fauna de serpentes da região, empregando outros métodos e ampliando o esforço amostral, visando a maior representatividade de serpentes nas localidades estudadas.

Operation of mechanisms and equipment under significant temperature changes can cause brittle destruction not only of metal structures. In the process of research of high pressure hose of camber mechanism there was revealed violation of the tightness of the outer rubber layer, which led to further penetration of acid-alkaline environment (moist sea air) into the formed voids in winding layers. In the damaged segments the torn filament ends of metal coiling of flexible hydraulic connection seem typical of brittle damage. Further study of macro-and microstructure of the material of metal filaments of the wire and detailed analysis of the near-surface layer revealed violation of the technology of protective coating of the filaments. The low quality of brass coating of the metal coiling of DN20 wire of the hydraulic connection resulted in the rapid corrosion attack. The presence of structural defects in the near-surface layer led to the formation of discontinuities of brass coating, to a decrease of adhesion characteristics of the metal coiling. Iron oxide being a product of corrosion of metal filament coiling in the formed voids between the layers slashed under bending effected by friction contact and alternating loads. The research results can be used for developing effective anti-corrosion methods for flexible hydraulic connections.
INCREASED VIBRATION ON REFRIGERATOR SHIPS OF B437/11 PROJECT AND TECHNICAL PROPOSALS ON ITS REDUCTION
Authors: Minasyan Minas Armenakovich , Aung Myo Thant  , Minasyan Armen Minasovich
Published: August 2018

The paper considers the causes of increased vibration of four auxiliary diesel-generator sets of "Sulzer" 5АL25 type on board nine refrigerated vessels of B437 / 11 project after 15 years of operation. The proposed wide range of possible applications to address the problem of high vibration of diesel generators and motor vessels there were generally implemented upgraded turbocharger brackets, engine sub-frame and supporting spiral-rope vibration isolators in the shock absorption system of the diesel-generator. Four original patented technical solutions have been presented, among which one solution is implemented in 5AL25 diesel generator and 2H 8.5/11 diesel damping systems. There has been offered wide application both wire rope vibration isolators and combined isolators, in which elastic elements are made of nonflammable materials. Wire rope vibration isolators combine high bearing capacity (static loads within 1 N - 50 kN) with high elasticity under dynamic effects; their natural frequencies can drop to 2.5 Hz. Under the worst conditions 75% of the free moving weakens the impact to values that ensure the necessary safety of the object. Experience in designing vibration isolation systems allows to set the maximum range of loads within 15 - 25 g. The vibration isolators made of steel wire rope are practically not affected by the environment, they are made of stainless steel. They effectively operate at temperatures -200°C - +370°C in the presence of oil, dirt, sand, salt fog, etc. They usually have a service life comparable with the service life of the insulated object. Wire rope vibration isolators and combined vibration isolators can be used in all fields of modern technology: shipbuilding, power engineering, automotive, aviation and space industries, etc.
Political regimes and the media. Towards a reconsideration of the dichotomy between the authoritarian and liberal models.
Authors: Vaca-Baqueiro Maira Teresa
Published: August 2018

Los lazos entre los regímenes políticos característicos y los sistemas de medios son innegables. Tal como consignaron antaño Siebert, Peterson y Schramm (Four theories of the press, Urbana, University of Illinois Press, 1956, p. 1), “la prensa siempre asume la forma y los matices de las estructuras sociales y políticas dentro de las cuales opera”. El mundo actual y la política son completamente distintos del Mundo bipolar que inspiró Four theories of the press. Y, aun así, los estudios sobre sistemas de medios se aferran todavía a las premisas más sobresalientes de esta obra. Mediante la discusión acerca de su influjo normativo de dilatada duración, este artículo busca arrojar luz sobre las frecuentes discrepancias entre las democracias y las formas distintivas y el funcionamiento de los medios. Al mismo tiempo, en el trabajo se propone un marco analítico alternativo que albergue el estudio de las relaciones entre el Estado y los medios: el complejo político-mediático.

No pocos de los estudios sobre organizaciones internacionales intergubernamentales (OIS) descartan que éstas sean autónomas o sean capaces de autodirigir sus procesos de cambio. El caso de la Comisión Internacional contra la Impunidad en Guatemala (CICIG) permite precisamente observar en qué grado es autónoma una OI. Mediante el análisis documental y entrevistas con la dirigencia de la CICIG, este artículo demuestra que la organización ajustó y reinterpretó su mandato como resultado de un proceso de decisiones internas y autónomas. Esta evidencia contribuye al debate sobre las OIS en cuanto actores autodirigidos.

Opera and “Director’s” Theatre of the 21st Century
Authors: Kuklinskaya M. Ya.
Published: August 2018

The article raises the issues of interaction between modern direction and the musical text of opera. Researches of foreign and domestic scientists in the fi eld of theatre studies and musicology allow analyzing a musical performance as an independent text, in which there is an interchange between different types of art. The author focuses on the opera as a dialogue between music and theater. The author proposes three main forms of the dialogue for consideration: the director and the composer, the director and the viewer, the director and the actor. The article expresses the opinion that, in the process of interaction between the director and the opera text, some myths appeared and started to impede the development of this process and to cause confl ict situations while analyzing the fi nal results. Among those kinds of myths, the author reckons the idea of director-conceptualist as the destroyer of the composer’s idea, the unconditional defi nition of this idea, and the so-called “reverse logic” of feeling and action in musical theater. Observing the functioning of each of these myths on concrete examples, the author comes to conclusion on the necessity to “debunk” them for further successful development of musical theater. From this position, the article analyzes fragments from operas by Russian and foreign composers and their stage impersonations. In the dialogue “director—viewer”, two main ways of the participants’ interaction are defi ned: the theater as a form of escapism and the theater as a “catalyst” of intelligence. The author emphasizes the need to have both the ways, so that the viewer should be able to choose. The author considers the relations between the director and the actor to be the most positive for the modern theatre, which led to the emergence of a new type of performer on the modern opera stage: singerartist, who fully owns the acting technique of “internal action”. The article concludes that there is an ambiguous, but rather perspective and positive situation in the modern musical theater, which determines further ways of the genre’s development.

One of the most important pillars that we must address in the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) is to develop a good management process at University in Indonesia, one of the most important part is complaint management. Complaint management should get more attention from the University, because these factors tend to bring the campus atmosphere to become more conducive and to solve some communication problems between and/or among lecturers and students. In this paper, we will proposed a complaint management framework in order to solve the problems of complaints, especially at the university level. The proposed method are adopted from complaint methods that already be used in Northumbria University, England, and Australian International College, then it will be cutomized with the management and education process, and also cultural behaviour at universities in Indonesia. This framework will help us to solve the complaint problems objectively and fairly, so that both sides can feel comfortable while running the learning/education process on campus. Furthermore, this will be linked to four important things that will result in a solution to improve service at the university level, so that all universities in Indonesia will be able to improve the complaint process more effectively and efficiently.

Nowadays, along with the development of human civilization, there are modern companies which appear in numbers. It happens because of the development of technology and people’s skills as well. It is obviously will influence the production process and implementation. And, in fact, there are some companies whose production outcomes are the same with the other ones. Consequently, they compete to each other. In this thesis writing, the writer prefers the research on the effort of production quality improvement of physical. The Analysis is done with the helping tools of quality control. The tools used are (1) Control Chart P, is to measure the incompatibility for it does not support the specification (it is often called disabled parts) of some items in a group/subgroup which is being checked; (2) Pareto Diagram, is to interpret problems of any levels; (3) Cause an Effect Diagram, is to show cause factors and quality characteristic which is caused by those factors. The use of helping tools of quality control is chosen so as to the number and the cause of damages can be figured-out and handled early and properly. Based on the calculation Control Chart P, the product proportion which is rejected before the prevention is 8,34% from the total number of the disabled ones. On the contrary, the product proportion after the prevention is 5,75%. It shows that there is reduction, that is 31,06% compared to the previous prevention.

Due to unstable weather conditions at the beginning initially the vegetation period of sweet cherry variety are exposed to stress factors. In this paper the experimental studies were summarized on the resistance of a cherry variety to spring frosts during 2016–2017. The researches were conducted in the laboratory of resistance physiology of fruit crops at the All Russian Research Institute of Fruit Crop Breeding (VNIISPK). Cherry cultivars developed at the VNIISPK were investigated. The main aim of the research was to study cherry variety the spring frost and introduced plants and to reveal the plants resistant to climatic conditions of at spring period in the middle zone of Russia. The resistance of cherry cultivars to spring frosts for rapid diagnostics was used by artificial freezing. Early in May, -1°C, -2°C and -3°C frosts were modeled in a climatic chamber. It was determined that in flower buds and opened flowers cherry the pistils perished from the frost while stamens remained undamaged. The resistance of generative organs in cherry cultivars ‘Podarok Uchitelyam’, ‘Proshalnaya’ ‘Shokoladnica’ studied to spring frost was identified as - 1°C. The flower buds in all cherry cultivars were not damaged. Further temperature lowering intensified before -2°С и -3°С the damages of flowers and flower buds. As a result of the investigation the significant varietal variability in hardiness to spring frosts -3°С. The potential a resistance have valued to negative temperature of generative organs beside under study cherry cultivars. The experiment allowed revealing the largest biological potential of resistance to spring frosts developed at the VNIISPK was investigated in ‘Shokoladnica’.
