Abiotic Aggregation of Organic Matter in Coastal and Estuarine Waters: Cases in the Eastern Long Island Sound, USA
Authors: Chen Tzong-Yueh , Skoog Annelie
Published: November 2021

Organic aggregates, which formed from small particles and dissolved material, were chemically characterized in the Long Island Sound coastal waters. In this study, six aggregation experiments were conducted on low-salinity samples (the Thames River, CT, USA; salinity of 6.3–6.8) and high-salinity samples (the coast of Avery Point, CT, USA; salinity of 21.4–26.7). Water samples were incubated on a roller table for two days under dark conditions to generate laboratory-made aggregates. Particulate organic carbon (POC) concentrations increased 5–39% after two days of rolling. A higher POC increase occurred in low-salinity samples. The concentrations of neutral aldoses and amino acids, as well as their C- and N-yields, decreased during the experiments (except for particulate hydrolysable amino acid in low-salinity samples), while bacterial abundance increased 50–476%, indicating microbial degradation of biologically labile organic matter. Particulate hydrolysable amino acid was preferentially preserved in P-limited systems. An enrichment factor analysis showed the preferential microbial degradation of particulate hydrolysable neutral aldose and glucose appeared as the most labile aldose. The increase in bulk POC and the decrease in the fraction of labile organic carbon (neutral aldose and amino acid) in the particulate phase resulted in an accumulation of uncharacterized (presumably more refractory) particulate organic matter.

Understanding variations in sap flow rates and the environmental factors that influence sap flow is important for exploring grape water consumption patterns and developing reasonable greenhouse irrigation schedules. Three irrigation levels were established in this study: adequate irrigation (W1), moderate deficit irrigation (W2) and deficit irrigation (W3). Grape sap flow estimation models were constructed using partial least squares (PLS) and random forest (RF) algorithms, and the simulation accuracy and stability of these models were evaluated. The results showed that the daily mean sap flow rates in the W2 and W3 treatments were 14.65 and 46.94% lower, respectively, than those in the W1 treatment, indicating that the average daily sap flow rate increased gradually with an increase in the irrigation amount within a certain range. Based on model error and uncertainty analyses, the RF model had better simulation results in the different grape growth stages than the PLS model did. The coefficient of determination and Willmott’s index of agreement for RF model exceeded 0.78 and 0.90, respectively, and this model had smaller root mean square error and d-factor (evaluation index of model uncertainty) values than the PLS model did, indicating that the RF model had higher prediction accuracy and was more stable. The relative importance of the model predictors was determined. Moreover, the RF model more comprehensively reflected the influence of meteorological factors and the moisture content in different soil layers on the sap flow rate than the PLS model did. In summary, the RF model accurately simulated sap flow rates, which is important for greenhouse grape irrigation.

Maintaining the health of lake ecosystems is an urgent issue. However, eutrophication seriously affects lakes’ ecological functions. Eutrophication is also the main target of lake ecological restoration. It is vital to carry out research on lake eutrophication control and energy flow evaluation in ecosystems scientifically. Based on in situ survey results for the aquatic life data for Lianshi Lake from 2018 to 2019, the Ecopath model was used to establish an evaluation index system for the typical biological chain to screen out the key species in the water ecosystem, and the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) method was used to screen all the biological chains controlling algae. A combination of the FCE coupled with the Ecopath screening method for typical biological chains for algal control was applied to the Lianshi Lake area; the results show that the typical biological chain for algal control is phytoplankton (Phyt)–zooplankton (Zoop)–macrocrustaceans (Macc)–other piscivorous (OthP). Upon adjusting the biomass of Zoop and Macc in the typical biological chain for algal control to three times that of the current status, the ecological nutrition efficiency of Phyt was increased from 0.308 to 0.906. The material flow into the second trophic level from primary producers increased from 3043 to 8283 t/km2/year. The amount of detritus flowing into primary producers for sedimentation decreased from 7618 to 2378 t/km2/year. Finally, the total primary production/total respiratory volume (TPP/TR) decreased from 9.224 to 3.403, the Finn’s cycle index (FCI) increased from 13.6% to 17.5%, and the Finn’s average energy flow path length (FCL) increased from 2.854 to 3.410. The results suggest that the problem of eutrophication can be solved by introducing Zoop (an algal predator) and Macc to a large extent, resulting in improved ecosystem maturity. The research results can facilitate decision making for the restoration of urban lake water ecosystems.

Published: November 2021

One of the most serious environmental concerns worldwide is the consequences of industrial wastes and agricultural usage leading to pesticide residues in water. At present, a wide range of pesticides are used directly to control pests and diseases. However, environmental damage is expected even at their low concentration because they are sustained a long time in nature, which has a negative impact on human health. In this study, photolysis and photocatalysis of the pesticides dieldrin and deltamethrin were tested at two UV wavelengths (254 and 306 nm) and in different test media (distilled water, wastewater, and agricultural wastewater) to examine their ability to eliminate pesticides. TiO2 (0.001 g/10 mL) was used as a catalyst for each treatment. The purpose was to determine the influence of UV wavelength, exposure time, and catalyst addition on the pesticide decomposition processes in different water types. Water was loaded with the tested pesticides (2000 µg) for 12 h under UV irradiation, and the pesticide concentrations were measured at 2 h intervals after UV irradiation. The results showed a clear effect of UV light on the pesticides photodegradations that was both a wavelength- and time-dependent effect. Photolysis was more effective at λ = 306 nm than at λ = 254 nm. Furthermore, TiO2 addition (0.001 g/10 mL) increased the degradation at both tested wavelengths and hence could be considered a potential catalyst for both pesticide degradations. Deltamethrin was more sensitive to UV light than dieldrin under all conditions.

Published: November 2021

The contamination of water resources by toxic hexavalent chromium remains a challenge. In this study, amino-functionalized iron oxide biobased carbon-silica composites were prepared through co-precipitation of Fe(II) and Fe(III) over Macadamia activated carbon and explored as feasible adsorbents for the removal of Cr(VI) from dilute aqueous solutions. The energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) elemental analysis confirmed the existence of Fe, Si, O, and C atoms, which form the backbone of the composite. The FTIR also showed the presence of Fe-O and Si-O-Si and Si-OH spectral bands, affirming the backbone of the adsorbents. Cr(VI) adsorption efficiency (5.76 mg/g) was achieved at pH 1 when an initial concentration of 2.5 mg/L, contact time of 90 min, and dosage concentration of 1.7 g/L were used. The data were best described by the Langmuir adsorption model and pseudo-second-order rate model. ΔG° (−3 to −12 kJ/mol) and ΔH° (46, 12 and 5 kJ/mol) values affirmed that the adsorption of Cr(VI) was spontaneous and endothermic and dominated by chemical interactions.

Published: November 2021

Background: Of all enterococci species, the most renowned clinically as multidrug-resistant pathogens are Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis. Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) species are the principal cause of opportunistic hospital-acquired infections, due to numerous resistance mechanisms. Methods: In this study, the prevalence and antibiotic resistance profiles of VRE according to clinical sources from three selected hospitals in Southwest-Nigeria were investigated. Altogether, 431 samples (urine, rectal, and wound swabs - caesarian section (CS), automobile accidents, and other skin lesions and abrasions) were collected from three selected hospitals in Osun State, Nigeria. Established techniques were employed for the recovery of enterococci and screening for VRE while antibiotic susceptibility tests were carried out by disc diffusion technique. Results: Altogether, 208 (48.3%) enterococci strains were recovered from which 85 (40.9%) were VRE. E. faecium predominated at 71.8% (61/85) and E. faecalis at 28.2% (24/85) as determined by phenotypic characterization. VRE isolates exhibited 100%, 97.6%, and 92.9% resistance to ampicillin, clindamycin, and quinupristin-dalfopristin (Q/D) respectively. The least resistance in-vitro was to tigecycline (27.1%). None of the antibiotics exhibited 100% activity against all the isolates. vanA resistant phenotype was prevalent at 65.9%. E. faecium from all study locations displayed higher levels of resistance than E. faecalis. Multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) indices in all VRE isolates were ≥0.2, all being multidrug-resistant. Conclusions: The high prevalence rate along with the high level of multidrug resistance observed in the present study is worrisome and poses a continuous threat in the therapy of illnesses triggered by VRE as vancomycin was perceived as a drug of choice to curb enterococcal infections.

Published: November 2021

Background: Rhinoviruses (RVs) represent the most important aetiological agents of the common cold and are responsible for about two-thirds of acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in both children and adults. This study aimed to design a pan-serotypic vaccine capable of inducing cross-reactive antibodies against most of the RV by using a reverse Vaccinology approach. Methods: Bioinformatics analysis was carried out to characterise the capsid proteins (VP1, VP2, VP3, and VP4) of all known RV serotypes and to predict potential immune motifs. Conserved motifs consisting at least nine-mers common across all RV-A or B serotypes were selected and synthesized chemically. Four tagged full-length genes coding the capsid proteins of an ideal strain (HRV-74), VP1, VP2, VP3, and VP4 were constructed and cloned in vitro. Upon expression , the purified recombinant proteins were also administered subcutaneously to other groups of rabbits. The responses and cross-reactivity of the specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) and G (IgG) to the peptides, proteins, and whole viruses were measured. Results: The obtained anti-peptide antibodies exhibited a cross-neutralizing activity for different RV strains in vitro. Antibodies raised to the synthetic peptides exhibited cross-reactivity against the corresponding recombinant proteins and antigenically distinct RV strains coated on plates via ELISA assay. Conclusions: The study findings indicated that the peptides corresponding to the conserved region of the RV capsid proteins were potent immunogenic; moreover, the findings showed that their combination was crucial for extending the cross-protection against variant RVs.

Background: Scrub typhus is an infectious disease with potentially fatal consequences. It is caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi and transmitted to humans via the bites of infected larval mites (chiggers). Scrub typhus is one of the most neglected and severe diseases despite its easy treatment. Delay in diagnosis and treatment is not uncommon, resulting in a 10% fatality rate in cases of inappropriate treatment. The main aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of scrub typhus in Southeast Asia and the risk factors contributing to the disease in order to aid the development of effective control and prevention strategies. Methods: In this meta-analysis, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) were used as a guideline. The systematic literature search was performed for the relevant titles, abstracts, and keywords in the journal databases of PubMed, EBSCOhost, Ovid, and Google Scholar in November 2018. The keywords and terms were derived from population, intervention, comparison, outcome analysis, and a total of 720 studies were retrieved accordingly. Only original research, published articles, and articles written in the English language were selected for this purpose. Screening of abstracts had shortlisted 36 studies and data extraction was conducted accordingly. However, only 9 studies were accepted after a review of the full texts. The other 27 articles were excluded due to ecological studies and different outcome measures. Results: Several factors in this meta-analysis were identified to have significant risk of having scrub typhus (P<0.05), including people who are involved in the agriculture sector (OR: 2.90, 95% CI: 2.33, 3.77), those having direct contact or being exposed to the vector habitat (OR: 2.17, 95% CI: 1.49, 3.16), and house yard conditions (OR: 3.02, 95% CI: 2.1, 4.33). Other factors were indoor house conditions (OR: 1.96, 95% CI: 1.45, 2.67), those having close contact with rodents or domestic animals (OR: 2.51, 95% CI: 1.67, 3.77), those working in paddy fields or vegetable farms (OR: 5.17, 95% CI: 3.15, 8.47), and bad occupational safety practices (OR: 1.71, 95% CI: 1.12, 2.62). Conclusions: The identified risk factors from this meta-analysis highlight the importance of public health intervention strategies for the prevention of scrub typhus among high-risk populations.

Introduction: Probiotics are non-pathogenic strains of organisms. These strains alter the microbial ecology of the gut and improve bowel function. Objectives: In this study, the researchers aimed to evaluate the effect of probiotics on reducing the duration of treatment for neonatal jaundice and the rate of readmission due to recurrence. Patients and Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 88 neonates with jaundice hospitalized for phototherapy in Kowsar hospital from April 2020 to February 2021 were studied. Eligible neonates were randomly divided into probiotic and placebo groups. Both groups received standard conventional phototherapy and the intervention group received 5 drops of probiotic until hospital discharge. The outcome variables were bilirubin, hospitalization days, and readmission. Results: The probiotic group had a significantly lower hospitalization stay in comparison to the placebo group. The hospitalization of the probiotic group was 2.43±0.82 days, while the hospitalization of the placebo group was 5.18±2.05 days. Conclusion: Using oral probiotics in neonates with jaundice has a significant effect on reducing hospitalization days and readmission. Further studies are needed with longer time follow-up. Trial Registration: The trial protocol was approved in the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trial website (identifier: IRCT20191022045194N1, https://en.irct.ir/trial/43675, ethical code (#IR.QUMS.REC.1398.041).

Introduction: Photobiomodulation therapy (PBM) appears to induce osteogenesis and stimulate fracture repair; because of its capacity, it is considered a promising treatment, but the characteristics of response to different radiation doses must be investigated through in vivo studies to establish their safety and effectiveness. Thus, this paper aims to analyze the effects of the PBM at different doses on the repair of critical bone defects through histological and histomorphometric analyses. Methods: Sixty 90-day-old adult rats (Rattus norvegicus, albinus, Wistar) weighing approximately 300 g were used. Critical bone defects of 5 mm in diameter were performed in their calvaria. The animals were randomly separated into 5 groups: C-Blood clot, L15-PBM 15J/cm2 , L30-PBM 30 J/ cm2 , L45-PBM 45 J/cm2 , L60-PBM 60 J/cm2 . Each group was subdivided according to observation periods of 30 and 60 days with 6 rats in each subgroup. Low-level gallium aluminum arsenide (GaAlAs) lasers were used at a 660 nm wavelength, 30 mW and 0.04 cm2 in area. The PBM was applied over 5 points; 4 points of application were distributed on the edges while one point of application was located in the center of the bone defect. PBM occurred right after the procedure. In 30 and 60 days, the animals were euthanized by anesthesia overdose and the analyses were performed. The data were analyzed statistically by the ANOVA, together with the Tukey test, whose significance level was 5%. Results: As regards the treatment factor, the highest percentage of bone neoformation was achieved by group L45-60. The group with the highest closure, despite not having a statistically significant difference with the other doses, was 45 J with only 0.49 mm between edges. Conclusion: Thus, the present study allowed concluding that the highest percentage of bone neoformation area was achieved at 45 J/cm2 in 60 days; that is, it was significantly effective in comparison with other doses.

Introduction: Recently, the management of dentin hypersensitivity by lasers has gained special attention. This study aimed to assess and compare the efficacy of the 980 nm diode, Nd:YAG and Er:YAG lasers accompanied by fluoride in dentinal tubule obstruction. Methods: Twenty sound single-rooted human teeth were used for this invitro study. Forty dentinal discs were prepared of the roots and etched with 6% citric acid. One layer of fluoride varnish was applied over their surface. The sections were randomly allocated into 4 groups. The control group received no laser irradiation. Group 2 underwent 980 nm diode laser irradiation with 0.5 W power. Group 3 underwent Nd:YAG laser irradiation with 0.5 W power and group 4 underwent Er:YAG laser irradiation with 0.5 W power. All samples were then inspected under a scanning electron microscope, and the number of obstructed dentinal tubules and the diameter of open dentinal tubules in the field were determined. One-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test were used for data analysis at a significance level of 0.05. Results: All three laser types decreased the number of open dentinal tubules significantly compared to the control group (P<0.05). No significant difference was noted in dentinal tubule obstruction between the three laser groups (P>0.05). The diameter of open tubules in the three laser groups did not show a significant difference from that in the control group. Conclusion: All three types of lasers evaluated in this study can effectively obstruct the dentinal tubules.

Published: November 2021

The main purpose of this research paper is to understand how artificial intelligence and machine learning applied to human behaviour has been treated, both theoretically and empirically, over the last twenty years, regarding predictive analytics and human organizational behaviour analysis. To achieve this goal, the authors performed a systematic literature review, as proposed by Tranfield, Denyer and Smart (2003), on selected databases and followed the PRISMA framework (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses). The method is particularly suited for assessing emerging trends within multiple disciplines and therefore deemed the most suitable method for the purposes of this paper, which intends to survey and select papers according to their contribute towards theory building. By mapping what is known, this review will lay the groundwork, providing a timely insight into the current state of research on human organisational behaviour and its applications. A total of 17795 papers resulted from the application of the search equations. The papers’ abstracts were screened according to the inclusion / exclusion criterions which resulted in 199 papers for analysis. The authors have analysed the papers through VOSviewer software and R programming statistical computing software. This review showed that 60% of the research undertaken in the field has been done in the last three and a half years and there is no prominent author or academic journal, showing the emergence and the novelty of this research. The other key finds of the research relate to the evolution of the concept, from data-driven (hard) towards emotions-driven (soft) organisations.

İhmal, davranış normlarıyla ve dolayısıyla, hukuk kurallarıyla kişiye belli bir icraî davranışta bulunma yükümlülüğünün tahmil edildiği hallerde, kişinin bu yükümlülüğü yerine getirmemesidir. İcraî davranışla ihmalî davranış arasındaki müştereklik, ancak normatif sahada kurulabilir; yani hukuk kurallarından kaynaklanan bir yükümlülüğe aykırılık ve dolayısıyla, bir haksızlık teşkil ettiği hususunda mevcuttur.
İhmalî davranış, kaynağını davranış normlarından ve dolayısıyla, hukuk kurallarından alan belli bir icraî davranışta bulunma yükümlülüğünün yerine getirilmemesi olarak tezahür etmektedir. Davranış normunun ve ilgili hukuk kuralının korumayı hedeflediği hukukî değer, bu yükümlülüğün yerine getirilmemesi suretiyle, ihlâl edilmektedir. Bu yükümlülüğün yerine getirilmemesi, yani ihmali; belli bir hukukî değerin ihlâli mahiyetini taşıyacak ve dolayısıyla, bir haksızlık teşkil edecektir.
Davranış normlarından kaynaklanan bu icraî davranışta bulunma yükümlülüğünün salt yerine getirilmemesi, bir haksızlık teşkil eder. Bu haksızlıkların önemli bir kısmı, kanunlarda suç olarak tanımlanmıştır.
Hatta, belli bir yönde icraî davranışta bulunma yükümlülüğünün yerine getirilmemesi sonucunda, örneğin bir insan yaralanmış, sağlığı bozulmuş ve hatta ölmüş olabilir; bir başkasının malına zarar verilmiş olabilir.
Kanun koyucu, belli yönde icraî davranışta bulunma yükümlülüğünün yerine getirilmemesi neticesinde bir insan ölmüş veya yaralanmış olması hallerine ilişkin olarak Kanunda ayrı hüküm vaz’etmek suretiyle, esasen icraî davranışla işlenen bu suçların ihmalî davranışla da işlenebileceğini kabul etmektedir
Kişinin hukukî statüsünden veya kişiler arasındaki hukukî ilişkiden kaynaklan teminat yükümlülüğü, ihmalî davranışla icraî davranışın eşdeğerliliğini sağlamaktadır. Bu eşdeğerlilik dolayısıyladır ki, teminat yükümlülüğünün gereğini yerine getirmeyen kişi, ilgili suçun faili olarak sorumlu tutulmaktadır.
İşbu çalışmada, doktriner görüşler dikkate alınarak ve özellikle uygulamadan örnekler gösterilerek çeşitli suçlar bağlamında ihmalî davranış dolayısıyla ceza hukuku sorumluluğu incelenmiştir.

In addition to information about the glorious exploits of Achilles during the Trojan War, the tradition has preserved numerous sources telling about peculiarities of his growing up. Educational programs, which were developed for the young Achilles by his mentors Chiron and Phoenix, form the basis for the formation of the Homeric hero, not alien to the ancient Greek pedagogy of the VI-V century B.C. Plots about the peculiarities of training and education of Achilles, present on ceramics from the VI-V centuries B.C. are considered to be visual markers of the history of ancient Greek education. Achilles is an idealized image of the hero, which captures the features of the pedagogical tradition of Homeric time. The two mentors of Achilles make it possible to trace the phenomenon of educational continuity in the ancient pedagogical tradition.

The story of Foma Gordeev summed up the period of Gorky's ideological and aesthetic search at the end 19th - early 20th centuries, associated with the searching for a new hero in literature. The writer did not see in the representatives of the merchant dynasties people capable of building a worthy future for Russia. Even the presented image of the “atypical”, “broken out” from the class of his own kind, Foma Gordeev, became similar to Gorky's “superfluous person”, unable to become an active fighter for the reorganization of the world. In this work, Gorky depicted the collapse of the era of capitalist relations and marked a new upsurge in the labor movement for Russia and the growth of the ideas of socialism.
Postava chlapca a mládenca v konceptoch slovenskej literatúry (nielen) pre deti a mládež
Authors: Pršová Eva
Published: November 2021

In the text, it is possible to observe the character of a young man which in a literary-historical perspective corresponds to several literary types in Slovak literature. The interpretation focuses on modelling and transforming a plebeian and obedient hero into a modern, educated and confident bachelor. At the same time, it marginally touches on the image of a man / father, who changes into an uncertain, unreliable and often absent parent on the axis of the dominant and patriarchal. The text also presents poetological aspects of the protagonists' creation: a realistic image in Kukučín's short stories, a slightly subjectivised and expressive image of a boy of interwar prose, a naive and stylised type from the 1950s fiction, an immediate, an authentic and plastic hero modelled by modern prose in novels for young adults. Transformations of construction can also be observed at the linguo-stylistic level of texts, the way of narration, and the choice of narrator.

Published: November 2021

El archivo policial fue tanto una construcción retórica de la historia institucional, como un ámbito material organizado que recibió una demorada atención por parte de los miembros de la Policía de Buenos Aires (1867-1880). Hacia fines de la década del setenta del siglo XIX, el escritor argentino Eduardo Gutiérrez saltó a la fama con sus folletines dados a conocer en el marco de la prensa, donde declaraba de forma deliberada el empleo del material del archivo policial como base de sus ficciones narrativas. De forma recurrente tanto los textos de Gutiérrez, como los sueltos periodísticos que rodeaban a las entregas diarias, harán de la tarea de hurgar en documentos una razón para exhibir el proceso de escritura, pero también para escenificar al escritor como productor de ficciones sobre la base del trabajo con la materialidad del documento y la recopilación del testimonio. El objetivo del presente trabajo, consiste en indagar los modos en los que Gutiérrez recurre al uso de las fuentes de archivo (policial y judicial) en la construcción de la trama novelesca, como así también el ingreso de la ficcionalización de la circulación de documentos y materiales dentro de la trama narrativa.Palabras clave: archivo policial, narrativa policial, Eduardo Gutiérrez, prensa del siglo XIX
Yo nunca te prometí la eternidad: imágenes de un tiempo desgarrado
Authors: Cerio Débora
Published: November 2021

La literatura y la historia establecen un vínculo allí donde ambas fundan una manera de elaborar el carácter temporal de la experiencia humana, construyendo su propio régimen de verdad y poniendo en relato determinadas dimensiones de esa experiencia. El presente artículo explora una alternativa posible de este diálogo a través de las páginas de Yo nunca te prometí la eternidad, artefacto textual que, a pesar de referirse a acontecimientos efectivamente sucedidos y a personajes reales, cabalga en las fronteras de distintos géneros narrativos. A lo largo de este relato, en el cual hechos y ficción se conjugan, emergen una serie de representaciones sobre el tiempo y sobre la historia que son analizadas como parte de una disputa por la legitimidad para articular narrativamente el pasado.Palabras clave: Historia; Ficción; Tiempo; Narración; Imágenes
El partido Demócrata de Córdoba en la coyuntura iniciada a partir del Golpe de Estado del 6 de septiembre de 1930
Authors: Del Valle Osella Desirée
Published: November 2021

En 1930 se produjo el primer golpe de Estado de la República Argentina, el cual derrocó al presidente radical Yrigoyen. Muchos fueron los partidos políticos que lo respaldaron. Empero, al conocerse las pretensiones corporativistas que el gobierno de facto buscaba implementar, la mayoría de los partidos se alejaron del mismo, entre ellos los demócratas de Córdoba. Además, el golpe operó como un catalizador de los conflictos internos por los que atravesaba el partido. Éste se dividió entre aquellos que apoyaron la dictadura y quienes bregaron por el llamado a elecciones. El presente es un estudio del PD en dicha coyuntura clave en la historia argentina, que busca indagar sobre las consecuencias del Golpe al interior del PD. La hipótesis principal es que, pese a haber efectuado el partido una renovación en aras de una mayor democratización interna, perduraron en él los acuerdos entre notables y la pervivencia de prácticas tradicionales eclipsó la democratización. Palabras clave: Partido Demócrata de Córdoba; Conservadores;  Golpe de Estado; Carlos Ibarguren

There are a great number of software testing techniques at our disposal for testing a software product and although the utilization of these techniques is growing, we do not have an adequate knowledge of the relative quantitative and qualitative statistics. The choice of a software testing techniques in the evaluation of software influences both the process of evaluation and the product quality. So, it is imperative for us to find a testing technique which is effective as well as efficient. However, it is not sufficient if this thing techniques are only compared on the basis of their fault detecting ability. They should also be evaluated to discover which among them enhances reliability the most. As such, to establish a useful theory for testing, we need to evaluate existing and novel testing techniques not only for the effectiveness and efficiency but also for the ability for enhancing software reliability.

This paper provides an updated review of the performance of morning glory spillways during extreme weather conditions under hydrological dam safety assessment exercises. The revised performance evaluation was undertaken on two existing water supply reservoirs in the upper Langat River basin, one of the major river systems in the state of Selangor. For uniformity, both dams were assessed and compared deterministically in this study of their respective spillway discharge capacities using a new set of much higher Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) by NAHRIM (2008). This set of PMPs were derived some 20 years post dam commission. The PMPs adopted in the design of the dam were based on an earlier derivation reported in SMHB (1992, 1994). The findings of this study cause a grave concern on the safety aspects of the dam in light of this recent set of PMPs, therefore, a general consensus by various stakeholder is required to evaluate deterministically that probability and likelihood of the extreme floods of PMP magnitude overtopping the dam crests. A positive co-relationship was also presented for selected existing water supply dams by relating the draining catchment area to the product of equivalent spillway length and headroom.

An investigation on dam overtopping risk was carried out for ten single purpose water supply dams with a common outlet feature of drop shaft (or morning glory) spillway. These dams had been designed as early as the 1930’s in the West Coast region of peninsula Malaysia. Task were carried out using uniformed and common methodology for each selected dam, firstly by selection of appropriate Probable Maximum Precipitation PMPs which served as influx into the reservoir. Subsequently an empirically derived synthetic unit hydrograph (SUH) approach was then used to translate the PMPs into probable maximum flood (PMFs). Finally, the outflows and corresponding flood rises over the sills of spillways were estimated accordingly. The outcomes of this study have indicated that, in general, the flood rise level for the most of the dams were lower than the ECL level by at least 0.50 m and this in essence, has provided some factors of safety in light of heavy and gusty wind surges at the top of the reservoir water surface. Thus, this has provided some flexibilities during emergency operations at the onset of a probable PMP/PMF event. In conclusion, the dams had been safe from the risk of overtopping based on an extreme meteorological event of PMP/PMF magnitude.

The effect of tool eccentricity on the joint strength in clinching process was investigated. The objective is to understand the mechanical behaviour of the clinched joint where proper control on the alignment setting of tools can be considered. In this research, a clinching process to form a round joint was carried out by offsetting the centre line between the upper punch and lower die. The experimental results were compared between offset and without offset conditions. The factors which determine the quality of joint strength such as the interlock and the neck thickness obtained from cross section geometry were examined by opening mode and tension-shearing mode tests. Coated mild steel and aluminium alloy sheets were used for the evaluation. It is found that the strength values by offset clinching exhibit variation in sinusoidal relationship with respect to the in-plane offset direction. These values are generally lower by 10-36% for mild steel and 60-70% for aluminium alloy. The fatigue strength of a clinched joint with offset generally 5-10% weajer cinoared to the one without offset.

Most contractors leave the rebar laps exposed to the environment without any protection in on-site construction. Corrosion damage of the rebar is a serious problem that needs to be addressed, as it is a major problem that affects the characteristics of the reinforced concrete structures. In this research paper attention is drawn on the environmental corrosion of the rebar laps, how the exposure to the environment influences the rebar laps, and ways of protecting it from corrosion. Moreover this research is based to find out how the plastic dip method can help in the protection of the rebar laps. And also to see how this method differs from other methods, and why this method can be a possible solution to the problem. The research was done through some experimentation and the results were evaluated by visual observation. The research has brought a conclusion that the protection of exposed rebar laps at construction sites with the plastic dip paint is in fact a user friendly and economical solution for the problem.

The implementation of Industrialized Building Systems (IBS) has been introduced in Malaysian construction industries since early 1960s and the government has successfully launched the first IBS project which was known as Pekeliling Flats, Kuala Lumpur with low cost and affordable project. The survey conducted by CIDB Malaysia indicated that the adoption of IBS in local construction industry still considered as not reach to the satisfaction level although the adoption of IBS have been intensively introduced and promoted by the government and private sectors from the early stage. The usage of IBS still remains low definitely due to the barriers that hinder the implementation of IBS in the construction industries. Research was conducted using quantitative research approach through questionnaire surveys. The analysis method is mainly derived from descriptive analysis. Thus, this study is conducted to improve the adoption of IBS in local construction industry by identifying the main factors and current awareness on the usage of IBS. This study also concentrates to improve the strategies with the purpose to maximize the implementation of IBS in Malaysian construction industries. More effective strategies will be generated to enhance the rate of IBS adoption and minimize the barriers to the minimum level.
