Grape breeding is a key link in the development of the grapes and wine-making industry
Authors: Egorov E. A.
Published: July 2021

The article considers the legislative and regulatory acts that specify the tasks in the implementation of breeding processes. The results of the creation, variety testing, patenting and introduction of grape varieties and clones into the State Register of the Russian Federation for 2010–2020 are presented. The article analyzes the relationship between the indicators of industrial development with the production volumes of planting material, the use of domestic varieties that are included in the State Register of the Russian Federation. The characteristic of ampelographic collections – the genetic resources of grapes – is given. A comparative analysis of many years’ worth of data on the assessment of the adaptive potential of domestic varieties and introduced varieties is presented. The article describes domestic varieties, from which premium wines are produced, which not only competes with European varieties, but also surpasses the organoleptic properties and biochemical parameters of grape must and wine material. The main problems hindering the wide demand for domestic varieties on the market, including a substantial amount of imported European varietal planting material, are described. The necessity of accelerating breeding processes is actualized, modern methods are identified, including those of generative and genomic selection, transgenic technologies, cellular, mutational, and clone selection, and priority areas in breeding are presented. The numerical and qualitative analyses of the composition of breeding scientists is given, the trends of increasing the number and qualitative composition of breeders, the influx of young people, the growing need for training qualified personnel are noted. The number of bachelor’s, master’s and post-graduate students specializing in viticulture in general and in selection in particular as well as the number of defended dissertation studies on grape breeding has been found to be insufficient. The main scientific and practical problems in the organization and implementation of breeding processes in ensuring the development of the industry are updated, including a low share of domestic varieties in the produced planting material and planting, the lack of a systemically implemented varietal and technological policy, the imperfection of the legal system for the protection of intellectual property, a low availability of instrumentation and analytical equipment for the implementation of breeding by modern methods.

Authors: Ryndin A. V. , Kulyan R. V. , Slepchenko N. A.
Published: July 2021

This paper presents the results on the breeding work carried out by the Subtropical Scientific Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Currently, the Centre’s breeders are doing a lot of work aimed at breeding new fine yielding cultivars of subtropical and flower crops that will be resistant to growing conditions; they include kaki persimmon, feijoa, mandarin, freesia, crown anemone, pelargonium and chrysanthemum. The sources of high-level priority traits in flower crops that are valuable for further breeding in order to improve decorative (colour, flower shape, inflorescence), economic and biological traits (flowering period, a large number of flowers in the inflorescence, storage period of cut flowers, disease resistance, high reproduction coefficient) were recorded. The aim of the research is to improve the subtropical and flower crops assortment. The objects of the research were 989 hybrid forms: 136 citrus crops, 56 persimmon, 36 feijoa, 38 tea plant, 11 pear, 24 hazel, 108 freesia, 398 crown anemone, 120 pelargonium and 62 chrysanthemum hybrids. New cultivars with a complex of valuable traits have been created as a result of the scientific work. Over the past five years, FRC SSC of RAS has created 50 new cultivars: 26 pelargonium, 15 anemone, 5 freesia, 2 chrysanthemum, 1 persimmon and 1 apple and submitted them to the State Cultivar Commission. The “State Register of Selection Achievements Authorized for Use for Production Purposes” has included 63 cultivars developed by FRC SSC RAS, including 26 pelargonium, 13 anemone, 9 chrysanthemum, 7 freesia, 4 hazel, 3 feijoa and 1 tea plant cultivars. 46 patents for breeding achievements have been obtained.
Scientific support to plant breeding and seed production in Siberia in the XXI century
Authors: Goncharov N. P.
Published: July 2021

Agriculture in the Russian Federation is fundamental to the country’s economic performance, living standards, the wellbeing of people and state safety. Considerations relating to food security, prospects of and challenges before plant breeding in the Siberian Federal District (SFD), the largest agricultural area of the Russian Federation, are provided in the article. The agricultural area used in the SFD is about 50 million hectares and accounts for 13 % of the country’s gross grain production. The need for the introduction of modern molecular biological methods, bioengineering and IT technology is demonstrated and discussed. As Russia as a whole, Siberia is largely engaged in unpromising extensive farming practices, which rely on natural soil fertility, and this factor should be taken into account. Another issue is noncompliance with intensive farming technologies used for cultivating new-generation commercial cultivars. Although capital investments in plant breeding are the most cost effective investments in crop production, breeders’ efforts remain underfunded. The article explains the need for fundamental reform in this economic sector: the recognition of plant breeding as being a fundamental science; a fair increase in its funding; the development of a breeding strategy, nationally and regionally; the further expansion of the network of the Breeding Centers; the re-establishment and improvement of the universities’ departments specialized in plant breeding and seed production; having more state-funded places in the universities for training plant breeders to be able to maintain and cement the country’s advanced position in plant breeding and to develop new globally competitive next-generation cultivars of main crops. Should these issues be ignored, all the problems that have accumulated to date will lead to risks of long-term instability in this economic sector. The need for the careful preservation of continuity in plant breeders and plants being bred is stated. The regulatory functions of the state and agricultural science in plant breeding, plant industry and seed production are considered.
Scientific breeding of winter bread wheat in the Non-Сhernozem zone of Russia: the history, methods and results
Authors: Sandukhadze B. I. , Mamedov R. Z. , Krakhmalyova M. S. , Bugrova V. V.
Published: July 2021

The article describes the main stages and achievements of the breeding of winter bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in the Non-Chernozem zone for more than a century. The beginning of breeding work was laid by D.L. Rudzinsky on the experimental field of the Moscow Agricultural Institute. Beginning from the 1940s, under the leadership of Academician N.V. Tsitsin, and then Prof. G.D. Lapchenko, the method of distinct hybridization with blue wheatgrass (Agropyron glaucum (Desf. ex DC.) Roem. & Schult.) was actively used. The resulting wheat-wheatgrass hybrids had an average winter hardiness, increased grain quality and productivity. Cultivar Zarya developed in the 1970s (by individual selection from the F3 cross combination of cv. Mironovskaya 808 × line 126/65 (in the pedigree of this line, there is a wheat-wheatgrass hybrid PPG 599)) had a high yield and was widely used in further crosses. In the 1980s, Academician B.I. Sandukhadze achieved a significant increase in yield by using the method of intermittent backcrosses due to the producing of varieties with a new morphoecotype (cvs Inna, Pamyati Fedina, etc.), namely, winter-hardy, short stemmed (dwarf), and productive. Cultivar Moskovskaya 39 (registration in 1999) was referred to strong wheat, with a stable protein content of 15–16 %, gluten 30–35 %. Produced in the 2000s, cvs Moskovskaya 56, Nemchinovskaya 57, Galina, Nemchinovskaya 24, Nemchinovskaya 17, and Moskovskaya 40 have a high adaptability to the environment of the region; give a high yield and quality of grain. The area of crops of these cultivars in Russia occupies more than 2 million ha. The current trends in wheat breeding are indicated, the production yield of commercial cultivars of breeding by the Federal Research Center “Nemchinovka”over 12.0 tons per ha and the protein content in the grain up to 17 % are shown. As a result of succession, originality and application of the methodology of scientific breeding, the yield of winter bread wheat in the period from the beginning of the last century to the present has increased from 1.0 to 12.0 and more tons per ha.

Published: July 2021

The white pulp of the spleen in adult goats was thoroughly screened under the scanning electron microscope (VEGA3 TESCAN). The study revealed the presence of lymphoid and non-lymphoid cells. The T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes could morphologically be differentiated under the magnification of 8000 to 20000 times by Scanning electron microscopy. The changes in number of cells in relation to the age was also recorded. The peri arterial lymphatic sheath and its structural connections with Reticular cells and other non-lymphoid cells were clearly demonstrated. The types of lymphoid cells and their arrangement around the central arteries upto the marginal zones were observed in detail. A conclusion about the type of circulation in the spleen of goats was arrived after three dimentional observation of the tissue under scanning electron microscope.

Authors: Moore Sharon E. , Adedoyin A. Christson , Jones-Eversley Sharon D. , Curtis Carla M.
Published: July 2021

Objective

The importance of self-care for social workers as first responders is underscored in light of the sociopolitical, economic, and pandemic challenges that accompanied the presidency of Donald J. Trump, the 45th president of the United States.

Methods

We conducted an extensive review of the literature on the conceptualization, dimensions, benefits, importance, and indispensability of self-care for social workers, especially in stressful socio-political and toxic work environments. Chaos theory served as the theoretical scaffold of our research.

Results

Inevitably our research found that the ability of social workers to effectively serve as first responders during chaotic times depends on a proactive and consistent practice of self-care by social workers as an essential best practice.

Conclusions

The consequences of the policies of the 45th president of the United States have taken their toll on the citizenry, with the increase in stress in the nation. Undoubtedly, social workers as first responders, therapists, and educators are at the receiving end of ensuing political and socioeconomic uncertainties. We posit that for social workers to remain steadfast, unshakable, and abiding in the solemn pursuit of social justice and an egalitarian society, this is the era for social workers to embrace and persistently practice self-care.
Reclaiming the Body Through Tattoos
Authors: Macedo Sybele
Published: July 2021

Psychoanalysis has always addressed issues concerning the body. More recently, the proliferation of practices of aesthetic body intervention such as plastic surgery, piercings and tattoos have been calling the attention of psychoanalysts to their use and effects on the subject. This paper focuses on the analysis of the role of tattoos in reclaiming one’s body, which will be approached through the psychoanalytical discourse analysis of data retrieved from online magazines and blogs. The practice of tattooing has subjective implications on the relationship between the body and the self, revealing a fundamental trace of human beings: the need to process traumatic events and give them some sort of tolerable expression.
There and Back Again: The Making of Uganda’s Mobile Money Tax
Authors: Lees Adrienne , Akol Doris
Published: July 2021

This paper evaluates the appropriateness of the tax policymaking process that led to the introduction, and the later adaptation, of a tax on mobile money transactions in Uganda in 2018. We examine the unusual source of the proposal, how this particular tax diverged from the usual tax policymaking process, and whether certain key stakeholders were excluded. We argue that weaknesses in the tax policymaking process undermined the quality of policy design, and resulted in a period of costly, and avoidable, policy adjustment. This case study is relevant for Uganda as well as for other low-income countries which could be exposed to similar challenges in designing effective taxes for the mobile money industry.

Authors: Quak Evert-Jan
Published: July 2021

This report is not an in-depth nor exhaustive analysis of the many indirect impacts of the pandemic on LMICs. The content is purely based on the requests from FCDO to the K4D services on this topic, and as such can only give an illustrative overview of the findings from these requests. Furthermore, insights are also taken from the data that K4D collects for each request based on the information provided by advisers and FCDO (e.g. purpose of the request, adviser’s cadre), hence, the data is limited to the information available to the K4D team at the time of the request and the level of details available may vary from one request to the other. The selection of relevant K4D outputs on the pandemic’s indirect impacts was based on an extensive search in the K4D repository on titles and research questions. The Annex shows all K4D outputs included in this report. The purpose of this report is to inform FCDO about some of the specifics of their requests on the indirect impacts of COVID-19, in general. This report will also be used as input for a K4D-FCDO learning event that takes place on the 6th of July 2021. During the event learning and evidence, trends will be discussed and how evidence and learning informed decision-making on policy and programming.
Monitoring India’s National Sanitation Campaign (2014–2020)
Authors: Mehrotra Santosh
Published: July 2021

In 2011, India had more phone users (around 54 per cent of households) and television access (33 per cent) in rural areas than people with access to tap water (31 per cent) and toilet facilities (31 per cent), according to Census 2011. This clearly indicates the failure of government programmes to change the centuries-old practice of defecation in the open. This neglect of safe sanitation has had catastrophic outcomes in terms of human well-being. This case study is an analysis of the latest central government Swachch Bharat Mission - Gramin (Clean India Mission - Rural) (or SBM-G), which has achieved much greater success than any hitherto government effort in providing access to and use of toilets, especially in rural areas where the need is greatest. However, any conception of achieving ODF status, or free of open defecation, in a village (or any limited geography) is more than merely building toilets. The Sanitation Learning Hub commissioned case studies of sanitation campaigns in both India and Nepal, drawing out the lessons learnt for other countries wishing to implement similar initiatives. Both case studies focus on how target setting and feedback and reporting mechanisms can be used to increase the quality of campaigns.

BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE IN MAKING TOURISM ENTERPRISES COMPETITIVE
Authors: Stipanović Christian
Published: July 2021

In the dynamic process of creating competitive ability, tourism enterprises need to valorise new inputs (knowledge, intellectual capital) in generating advantages (quick response, quality, price). It is crucial to implement a new business philosophy based on re-engineering and earned out by encouraging innovations, asserting knowledge as a key resource, and introducing benchmarking and business intelligence. Business Intelligence represents the totality of an enterprise’s information, perceptual and operational competencies as a basis for managing change and building competitiveness. It centres on protecting the data of one enterprise, while gathering the data of others in creating the information needed for a development strategy. Tourist enterprises in Croatia have not yet realised the importance of business intelligence.
Feelings of Loneliness: Understanding the Risk of Suicidal Ideation in Adolescents with Internet Addiction
Authors: Khatcherian Eugénie , Zullino Daniele , De Leo Diego , Achab Sophia
Published: July 2021

The Internet has become an essential tool for adolescents. It is part of their social integration within peers and supports their identity construction. The Internet can also become a source of addiction; especially when used as a coping strategy towards unpleasant life situations. The feeling of loneliness is an emotion present during the adolescence. However, when in excess, it can lead to suicidal ideations. We questioned ourselves on the impact of an excessive use of the Internet by adolescents, with their feeling of loneliness and the risks of suicidal ideations. We attempted to find an answer to this question by performing a literature review. We found one result matching our search criteria’s, which is itself a literature review. We noted the absence of studies with regards to the interaction between the feeling of loneliness, the addiction to the Internet, and the risk of suicidal ideations amongst adolescents. We established a theoretical model which could be used as a lead for future research. We insist on the importance that studies are made in this domain, in order to enable us to establish efficient preventive measure on the risks of suicidal ideations amongst adolescents.
Molecular Geometry, Vibrational Spectroscopic, Molecular Orbital and Mulliken Charge Analysis of 4-(Carboxyamino)-Benzoic Acid: Molecular Docking and Dft Calculations
Authors: Saravanamoorthy S.N. , Vasanthi B. , Poornima R.
Published: July 2021

Structure based biological and chemical properties of 4-(carboxyamino)-benzoic acid has been studied by quantum chemical methods. The revamped geometric structure and its quantum chemical parameters were obtained by DFT-B3LYP/6-311G method. Normal mode analysis is performed to assign the fundamental vibrational frequencies as per the potential energy distribution (PED) by using the VEDA program. Simulation of IR and Raman spectral patterns are observed by refinement of scale factors. TD-DFT approach is used to explore the excited states of molecule and prediction of electronic absorption spectra. NMR chemical shifts of the molecule are determined by the gauge independent atomic orbital method. The molecular docking is performed to recognize the binding energy of the ligand with the dynamic site of protein. In our docking analysis, the protein 5DT6 shows the best results than other three proteins which could be used for further analysis. Further inter and intra molecular interactions, electrophilic, nucleophilic and chemical reactivity sites are found by molecular electrostatic potential, HOMO-LUMO and Global chemical reactivity descriptors. Thermodynamic property of the title compound is also reported. The determined quantum chemical parameters show high reactivity and the dipole moment was sufficiently high enough to induce nonlinear characteristics which are required for applications in optoelectronic devices.

Published: July 2021

Multilayer absorbers based on Cr2O3 and Cr, designed to improve the Solar-to-thermal conversion efficiency at mid temperatures in high vacuum flat thermal panel, are fabricated via sputtering deposition on bulk copper substrates and characterized by thermal and optical analysis. The refractive index of the single layers has been measured and used to estimate absorber thermal efficiency at the operating temperatures. Multilayers have been produced via sputtering deposition on bulk copper substrates. The absorber multilayers can be 10% more efficient than the commercial alternative at 250 °C operating temperatures, reaching 380 °C stagnation temperature without Sun concentration. The thermal stability has been checked at temperature of 400 °C in vacuum for four hours. High vacuum flat thermal collectors, equipped with the produced selective solar absorbers can obtain unprecedented performances and can give important contribution to the energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy for efficient heat production.
The Blockchain Oracle Problem in Decentralized Finance - A Multivocal Approach
Authors: Caldarelli Giulio , Ellul Joshua
Published: July 2021

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) takes the promise of blockchain a step further and aims to transform traditional financial products into trustless and transparent protocols that run without involving intermediaries. Similar to how 2017 was the year of ICOs, 2020 was the year of DeFI with more than $15 billion of total investments. The decentralized platforms utilize oracles to retrieve asset data from the external world, but their choice and management criteria are often unknown to the end-users. If oracles are poorly selected or managed, the funds of a rising number of investors are inevitably in danger. The issue known as “the oracle problem,” which makes real-world applications controversial and debated due to the loss of decentralization, had recently drawn attention to DeFi given the crescent number of related hacks that caused the loss of millions of dollars held in DeFi projects. With a multivocal approach, this paper aims to shed light on the pattern that identifies the oracle problem in DeFi and outline the most promising ways to overcome the related weaknesses. This research supports the view that the oracle problem in decentralized finance bears specific characteristics which require standardization and appropriate economic incentives to be addressed.

The Impact of Psychological Factors and Their Treatment on the Results of Total Knee Arthroplasty
Authors: Kazarian Gregory S. , Anthony Christopher A. , Lawrie Charles M. , Barrack Robert L.
Published: July 2021

➤ There is a growing body of evidence implicating psychosocial factors, including anxiety, depression, kinesiophobia, central sensitization, and pain catastrophizing, as negative prognostic factors following total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

➤ Symptoms of anxiety and depression likely represent risk factors for negative outcomes in patients undergoing TKA. However, few studies have assessed the impact of preoperative interventions for these conditions on postoperative outcomes.

➤ The Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia and the Central Sensitization Inventory have demonstrated value in the diagnosis of kinesiophobia and central sensitization. Higher preoperative indices of kinesiophobia and central sensitization predict worse patient-reported outcomes postoperatively.

➤ Although evidence is limited, cognitive-behavioral therapy for kinesiophobia and duloxetine for central sensitization may help to diminish the negative impact of these preoperative comorbidities. It is important to note, however, that outside the realm of TKA, cognitive-behavioral therapy has been recognized as a more effective treatment for central sensitization than medical treatment.

➤ Awareness of these issues will allow surgeons to better prepare patients regarding postoperative expectations in the setting of a comorbid psychosocial risk factor. Further research into the role of preoperative assessment and possible treatment of these conditions in patients undergoing TKA is warranted.
Total Hip Arthroplasty in Post-traumatic Acetabular Nonunion with Symphysis Pubis Diastasis
Authors: Punnoose Deepu Jacob , N Nizaj , A N Sukesh , Kandathil Julio C. , Theruvil Bipin
Published: July 2021

Case:

We report a patient with a long-standing post-traumatic pubic diastasis along with acetabular nonunion who developed painful hip arthritis that needed a total hip arthroplasty. We discuss the unique challenges in the acetabular component positioning.

Conclusion:

In patients with symphysis pubis diastasis, the surgeon should be prepared to place the cup in less than normal anteversion. This relative retroversion, which is an unusual position, is due to the external rotation of the whole hemipelvis including the femur. The degree of version of the cup should be guided by intraoperative stability checks and to ensure an impingement free range of motion.
Maqasid al-Shari’ah in Islamic Law Renewal: The Impact of New Normal Rules on Islamic Law Practices during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Asman Asman , Muchsin Tamrin
Published: July 2021

The vast and multidimensional impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has forced all countries to establish policies to prevent the transmission of Covid-19, including Indonesia. Not a few countries are not ready to make decisions to find new, more effective ways to prevent Covid-19. In Islamic law, ijtihad is part of lawmaking in the implementation of worship and muamalah, which solves problems that arise and mitigates policy implementation. This article uses a normative juridical approach to the issue because it can showcase the benefit of Islamic law for humans. Moreover, it aims to generate ideas in the renewal of Islamic law, especially in the implementation of worship and muamalah (social transaction/relation), and inform the government to make decisions that intersect with Islamic law during the Covid-19 pandemic. The focus of this research is how does covid-19 affect the practice of Islamic law in worship and mu`amalah? This study finds that government policies and regulations are currently in line with Islamic law. The most critical considerations in determining the compatibility of government policies and rules with shari’a are maintaining the soul’s safety, maintaining the continuity of religion through rukhshah, and maintaining the economy. Also, the Islamic rulings (fatwa) issued by ulama in response to government policies and rules are expected to guide worship and mu`amalah, build awareness and solidarity of Muslims, and relate to the people’s economy today.

Sendo assim, esse trabalho teve como objetivo fazer um diagnostico ambiental levando em consideração a caracterização geologica, geomorfologica, morfométrica, pedológica e de uso e ocupação do solo em sub-bacia do rio Lontra no estado do Tocantins. As características morfométricas foram determinadas utilizando o software ArcGIS 10.4, foram utlizadas bases cartográficas obtidas na SEPLAN. A partir dessas informações, foram determinados os demais índices utilizados no trabalho. A geomorfologia da sub-bacia foi caracterizada predominantemente por bacias sedimentares, com 62,15%. O uso e ocupação do solo predominante foi a pecuária, seguida pela agricultura, respectivamente 56,14% e 30,83%. A vegetação nativa representa 10,39%, e contribue para o uso sustentável dos recursos naturais do estado. Foi identificado a predominância do solo Argissolo, caracterizado pela baixa disponibilidade de nutrientes. O relevo foi classificado entre plano a ondulado, favorecendo o processo de infiltração. Através das características morfométricas foi constatado que a bacia apresenta forma alongada, apresentando um forte controle estrutural da drenagem e baixas condições que propiciem a formação de picos elevados de vazão e formação de enchentes. O levantamento geoambiental da sub-bacia do rio Lontra favoreceu o maior entendimento na dinâmica das formas que compõem a paisagem e dos riscos de degradação que uma determinada atividade ou utilização das terras pode ocasionar.

Apesar dos recentes avanços tecnológicos e científicos, o clima é ainda a variável mais importante na produtividade agrícola. O estado do Paraná se encontra em uma região de transição climática com grande variação dos elementos meteorológicos, sendo essencial a compreensão destes fenômenos devido a seus possíveis impactos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar variabilidade térmica e a probabilidade de ocorrência de geada e calor extremo na Mesorregião Norte Pioneiro Paranaense. E como objetivo secundário realizar um estudo de caso das variáveis meteorológicas analisadas para o ano de 2019. Para caracterização de variabilidade térmica, geada e calor extremo, foram utilizados dados de 10 estações meteorológicas. Foram aplicadas técnicas estatísticas e de geoprocessamento, como regressões e interpolações para garantir uma plena cobertura regional de informações. Identificou-se grande variabilidade climática na região, principalmente recorrente as diferenças de altitude que influenciam no regime térmico. Pela localização em área de transição climática a Mesorregião registrou temperaturas máximas e mínimas extremas. A área da região com maiores altitudes apresentou alta probabilidade alta de ocorrência anual de geada. Pelo estudo de caso, identificou-se que o ano de 2019 foi de 1 a 2,5°C mais quente em toda região, mesmo assim houve ocorrência de geada com a entrada de uma frente fria no início de julho com registro de temperaturas inferiores a -4°C.
LUGAR, SENTIMENTO E VIDA SOCIAL NO ESPAÇO PÚBLICO DA METRÓPOLE CONTEMPORÂNEA: PRAÇA SETE DE SETEMBRO, BELO HORIZONTE-MG
Authors: Ferreira da Silva Mariza
Published: July 2021

O artigo originou-se de resultados de pesquisa qualitativa de natureza epistemológica e empírica, a partir de análise exploratória de um dos espaços mais dinâmicos e polarizados das cidades metropolitanas – a praça – lugar de encontro, vínculo de passagem, trocas culturais e oferta de serviços. Tem como objetivo despertar a capacidade crítico-analítica para a complexidade, a diversidade e a riqueza de situações físicas, simbólicas, sensoriais e sociais presentes no espaço livre público das metrópoles contemporâneas. A metodologia aplicada possibilitou realizar visitas de campo com entrevistas informais e realização de técnicas de observação, interpretação e análise do recorte espacial: o espaço livre público da Praça Sete de Setembro, localizada no centro de Belo Horizonte, em Minas Gerais, região Sudeste do Brasil. A abordagem multidisciplinar ofereceu elementos analíticos de percepção e compreensão do conceito de cidade metropolitana que vai além de um sistema de redes. Possibilitou ainda, verificar na condição urbana atual da referida cidade metropolitana, traços de contemporaneidade que a fizeram ultrapassar os limites territoriais de seu modelo original, planejado e modernista. O trabalho viabilizou a discussão teórica de vários autores e campos disciplinares, como forma de sustentação da apreensão crítica sobre as conquistas e reveses de nossa sociedade, no contexto espacial e sociocultural da área de estudo, que foi georreferenciada.

Do greenhouse gas mitigation cost-effectiveness rankings based on the global warming potential favor sub-optimal allocation of resources?
Authors: Weiss Franz , Leip Adrian , Eory Vera
Published: July 2021

The global warming potential GWPgas(H) relates radiative forcing of a single pulse emission of a greenhouse gas, the absolute global warming potential AGWPgas(H), to the respective radiative forcing of carbon dioxide over a defined time horizon H. Mitigation measures targeting short-lived climate forcers (SLCFs) or reversible measures need to be applied permanently to be effective in the long run, but cost effectiveness for a permanent application of a measure differs from a single application. We propose a concept for an absolute global warming potential of permanent yearly pulses AGWP’gas(H), and several options for alternative indices to replace or complement the GWP: For the GWPgas(H/H) and the GWPcgas(H/H) we keep the AGWPCO2(H) in the denominator, which allows the direct comparison with conventional estimates, while for the GWP’gas(H) we define a new metric replacing the denominator by the AGWP’CO2(H). Different cost-effectiveness indicators can be defined respectively. We demonstrate the concept on the example of typical greenhouse gases emitted or removed by the agricultural sector: methane, nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide, fossil and stored as soil carbon. We show that, compared to GWP-based cost-effectiveness analysis, measures targeting soil carbon are discouraged relative to measures targeting methane, nitrous oxide and fossil carbon dioxide.
An Improving failure Mode and Effect Analysis Method for Pallet Exchange Rack Risk Analysis

Published: July 2021

In order to enhance quality and reliability of mechanical and electrical products, the methods of taking corresponding corrective measures to eliminate or alleviate product failure in advance have been widely concerned. Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a typical prevention reliability analysis method. However, there are some drawbacks in traditional FMEA method. To overcome these drawbacks, we propose a hybrid risk evaluation method, which combines picture fuzzy sets (PFSs), the PF-linear programming model (PF-LPM) method and the PF-weighted aggregated sum product assessment (PF-WASPAS) method. We adopt PFSs to evaluate risks of products. In order to overcome drawback of the traditional distance between PFSs, some new distance measures between PFSs based on the Dice similarity and the Jaccard similarity are proposed by us. The PF-LPM method which considers the subjective weights of risk factors and calculates synthetical deviation with the Dice similarity-based distance is utilized to calculate the weights of risk factors. Moreover, the PFWA operator and the PFWG operator are used by us to fuse experts’ evaluation information. Then, the PF-WASPAS method is utilized to rank failure modes. Finally, an illustrative example with respect to pallet exchange rack is introduced, and the rationality, effectiveness and applicability of the proposed method are verified by a discussion and comparison.

Background: Some E. coli strains that synthesize the toxin colibactin within the 54-kb pks island are being implicated in colorectal cancer (CRC) development. Here, the prevalence of pks+ E. coli in malignant and benign colorectal tumors obtained from selected Filipino patients was compared to determine the association of pks+ E. coli with CRC in this population. Methods and Results: A realtime qPCR protocol was developed to quantify uidA, clbB, clbN, and clbA genes in formalin fixed paraffin embedded colorectal tissues. The number of malignant tumors (44/62; 71%) positive for the uidA gene was not significantly different (p=0.3428) from benign (38/62; 61%) tumors. Significantly higher number of benign samples (p<0.05) were positive for all three colibactin genes (clbB, clbN, and clbA) compared with malignant samples. There was also higher prevalence of pks+ E. coli among older females and in tissue samples taken from the rectum. Conclusion: Hence, pks+ E. coli may not be associated with CRC development among Filipinos.

Left ventricular pseudo-aneurysm is a rupture of the cardiac wall tamponated by the pericardium. It can be caused by coronary occlusion, cardiac trauma, endocarditis or it may follow a mitral valve replacement. Mortality, if not treated, is greater than 10% and diagnosis must be supported by imaging investigations. Surgery is often the only choice, at high risk, and it should be planned basing on specific anatomy. Diagnosis of left ventricular pseudo-aneurysm after the replacement of the mitral valve usually occur accidentally; in the case, we presented it was discovered 2 years after the intervention. The patient was treated successfully with planned surgical operation.
Extended GRA Method Based on Cumulative Prospect Theory with Probabilistic Hesitant Fuzzy Information for MAGDM and its Application to Green Supplier Selection

Published: July 2021

An extended grey relational analysis (GRA) method is introduced in this article to reduce the limitations of the classical GRA method using the cumulative prospect theory (CPT) which takes into account psychological factors such as the risk appetite of decision makers. Moreover, the circumstance of probabilistic hesitant fuzzy (PHF) which assigns probabilistic values to DMs’ different levels of hesitation shows its superiority when making decisions in a complex environment. Meanwhile the weighting vector of each attribute is calculated according to the entropy which is calculated by the different prospect decision elements. Thus, in this paper, we proposed an extended GRA method based on cumulative prospect theory in the probabilistic hesitant fuzzy circumstance and applying the model in the selection of the green supplier. At last, the comparative analysis and the simulation analysis are made to show the practicability of this newly proposed method.
