A közösségi tanulás laboratóriuma – a Jövő-Kép műhelysorozat
Authors: Koller Inez Zsófia
Published: July 2021

A Jövő-Kép műhelysorozat a társadalmi érzékenyítésre épülő foglalkozások bemutatásának és tesztelésének biztosít keretet a Társadalmi Befogadás Szakkollégium számára. E tanulmány a műhelysorozat első hat rendezvényének fejlődéstörténetét mutatja be, sorra veszi az egyes műhelyek szervezési folyamatait, teszteredményeit, a tapasztalatokra és a folyamatosan formálódó célkitűzésekre építő változtatásokat, illetve beágyazza a Jövő-Kép műhelyek során létrejött foglalkozásokat egy sajátos elméleti és módszertani keretbe, melyek közül mára már több önálló kutatásként is legitimálta magát. A műhely multidiszciplínáris társadalomtudományi kísérlet, mely szabályozza a résztvevők összetételét, a feladatok elvégézésének idejét, sorrendjét, s közben vizsgálja a résztvevők feladatmegoldási sikerességét, együttműködési stratégiáit, kényszerhelyzetekre adott reakcióit, így számos elméletet felhasznál a szociológia, a pszichológia, az etika, a könyvtártudomány és a neveléstudomány területéről. A tanulmány célja, hogy beazonosítsa azokat az elméleteket, tudományos rendezvény szervezéséhez, valamint tudományos kutatás teszteléséhez szükséges paramétereket, melyek alkalmassá tesznek egy rendezvénysorozatot arra, hogy a társadalmi érzékenyítés területén tartalmas, értékes és egyben élvezhető, a közösségi tanulásra alapozó foglalkozásokat tervezzenek benne.
Egy elfeledett korosztály - az ötven év feletti nők munkaerő-piaci helyzetét meghatározó főbb körülmények
Authors: Barakonyi Eszter
Published: July 2021

A munkaerő-piaci szereplők számos szempont szerint oszthatók különböző csoportokba. Ezen szempontrendszerek jellemzően valamely munkavállalói csoport sérülékenységén alapulnak. A nők munkaerő-piaci helyzete évtizedek óta a kutatások és elemzések középpontjában áll, azonban ezek a munkák elsősorban a gyermekvállalással, illetve a gyermekneveléssel összefüggő  sérülékenységet vizsgálják. Az ötven év feletti nők helyzete nem kevésbé sérülékeny, és nem kevésbé fontos mind társadalmi, mind pedig gazdasági szerepükre tekintettel, ugyanakkor meglepően kevés figyelmet kap a szakmai közbeszédben. E körülményre tekintettel a jelen tanulmány célja megvizsgálni e csoport munkaerő-piaci helyzetét, illetve azokat a körülményeket melyek alapvetően meghatározzák azt. A nyugdíjkorhatár emelése, illetve az elöregedő társadalom jelentette kihívások tükrében számolni kell az idősödők arányának emelkedésével a munka világában, így a foglalkoztatás környezetét is felül kell vizsgálni. A tanulmány számos befolyásoló tényező közül a leginkább meghatározó jelentőségű szempontok köré csoportosítva vizsgálja az idősödő nők munkavállalási lehetőségeit. Ezek a szempontok nevezetesen a képzettség, az egészségi állapot és a jogszabályi környezet. A tanulmány korábbi kutatások-elemzések, és statisztikai adatok alapulvételével elsősorban elméleti keretrendszerbe kívánja foglalni a vizsgált csoportba tartozó nők munkavállalását meghatározó körülményeket.
John Henry Newman szerepe a köznevelésben
Authors: Várnagy Péter
Published: July 2021

Jelen cikkem megírásának egyik ösztönzője, hogy Newman személyével már a 90-es évek elején megismerkedtem, amikor még a PTE BTK Neveléstudományi Tanszékén Newman pedagógiájáról először hallottam, amely érdeklődésem origójaként határozható meg. Vonzódásom a témához fokozódott, így igyekeztem az elmúlt évek során minél több forrást felkutatni magyar és angol nyelven egyaránt, amely Newman életútjához, de főként a nevelési tevékenységéhez kapcsolódik. Ez vezetett a 2014-ben megjelent könyvemhez (Várnagy, 2014), amely alapvetően a felsőoktatáshoz kötődik. A mostani tanulmányom pedig Newman köznevelési tevékenységeinek meghatározó vonatkozásait ragadja meg.

 A téma feldolgozásához elsősorban az idegen nyelvű szakirodalom és források elemzésre, továbbá interpretálásra fókuszáltam, amelyhez jó alapot nyújtottak Newman levelezésének és naplójának könyvekbe foglalt kötetei.

Túlzás lenne azt állítani, hogy Newman meghatározóan köznevelési szakember lett volna, de egyértelműen maradandó nyomot hagyott pedagógiai gondolataival és tevékenységével e területen is.
Iskolapadból a munkaerőpiacra –A fiatalok munkaerőpiaci integrációját ösztönző munkavégzési formák
Authors: Ásványi Zsófia , Riedelmayer Bernadett
Published: July 2021

A munka és foglalkoztatás világában óriási jelentősége van annak, hogy az új, fiatal és szakképzett munkaerő mikor és milyen módon tud ténylegesen belépni a munkaerő-piacra. A fiatalok gördülékeny és gyors munkaerőpiaci integrációját alapvetően segíti, ha már az iskola ideje alatt munkatapasztalatot szereznek. Jelen tanulmány a nappali képzésben résztvevő tanulók foglalkoztatási lehetőségeire fókuszál. A téma két eset elhatárolásával kerül bemutatásra, először a fiatalok tanulmányoktól független munkavégzési alapeseteit ismertetjük, majd a képzés részeként történő munka szabályait foglaljuk össze. A képzéstől független foglalkoztatási formák esetében a fiatal munkavállalók elsődleges célja a pénzkereset, a szabadidő értelmes kitöltése és munkatapasztalat elsajátítása. A tanulmányok részeként történő munkavégzés a diákok szemszögéből előnyös, hiszen az elméleti ismereteik mellé speciális szakmai gyakorlati tudást szerezhetnek; a munkaadói szempontból pedig egenesen elemi érdek lehet motivált, gyakorlatorientált, és megfelelő elméleti tudással rendelkező fiatalok foglalkoztatása. Mind a tanulmányoktól független, mind annak részeként történő foglalkoztatásra vonatkozóan speciális szabályok alkalmazandók, melyeket a tanulmány részletesen bemutat. A szerzők felhívják a figyelmet a szakképzési törvényben bekövetkezett változásokra az iskolarendszer és a szakmajegyzék tekintetében, valamint részletesen ismertetik a szakképzési munkaszerződés jellegzetességeit, amelyek mind a foglalkoztatók, mind a tanulók szempontjából új feltételrendszert teremtenek a középszintű szakmai gyakorlatok megszervezéséhez.
Marea: a swan song of ancient urban planning
Authors: Gwiazda Mariusz , Derda Tomasz
Published: July 2021

Archaeological investigations in late antique Marea, modern northern Hawwariya, Egypt, have revealed that a significant part of the site was a well-planned urban undertaking on a large scale, founded in the second half of the sixth century AD. Such newly planned urban sites are extremely rare in late antiquity.
Space Race
Authors: Conrath Ryan
Published: July 2021

This paper discusses the practice of contemporary artist Cauleen Smith as an ongoing exploration of the aesthetic and political possibilities of cinematic space, place, and movement. Drawing upon a range of critical frameworks from cultural geography and Black feminism, it locates in Smith’s work an aesthetics and politics of errantry that favors radically nonnormative forms of relation and mobility. Borrowing the term from Martinican novelist and critic Édouard Glissant, and drawing more broadly from his thoroughgoing elucidations of the spatial dynamics of colonialism, the plantation system, and their afterlives, the text frames Smith’s cinematic errantry both as a formal and technological operation and as a political one grounded in a Black feminist praxis of place.
Assemblage, Performance, Precarity
Authors: Guha Malini
Published: July 2021

Though often named as such in publicity materials, Filipa César is credited not as the director of Spell Reel (2017), but as having undertaken “assemblage.” Part of the collaborative project Luta ca caba inda, films including Spell Reel and Conakry (2013) are built around archival fragments stored in the Instituto Nacional de Cinema e Audiovisual in Guinea-Bissau. They were exposed to adverse conditions before being retrieved and digitized. These images, which remain unrestored, are traces of a militant cinema praxis forged during the anti-colonial resistance to Portuguese rule. This essay situates Spell Reel and Conakry (2013) as mobile homes for these images, enabling an audience of Guineans and others to come into contact with them in a context that situates their precarity as not a matter of loss but a method of inquiry. César foregrounds the laborious processes of assembly in place of authorship, thus revealing the potential of the cinematic medium to function as an infrastructural formation.

The issues indicated by the title of this article have been presented in two parts. The first one refers to the meaning of identity in terminological terms – linguistic and processual, combined with human development and its identifying self-description in a social and cultural context. Also here, a reference has been made to selected theoretical, definitional terms and interpretations of the categories: identity, individual identity, social identity, and civic identity. The second part discusses the issue of shaping and reinforcing the civic identity of the young generation, i.e. the youth on the verge of adulthood, as an educational task and civic upbringing with the participation of the school.
Influence of incident angle and laser footprint on precision and level of detail in terrestrial laser scanner measurements
Authors: Mahmood Sajid , bin Majid Zulkepli , bin M. Idris Khairulnizam , Hamid Chaudhry Muhammad
Published: July 2021

Terrestrial laser scanners (TLS) are used for a variety of applications, e.g., surveying, forestry, cultural heritage preservation, mining, topographic mapping, urban planning, forensics etc. This technology has made a huge shift in 3D spatial data collection due to much faster speed compared to other techniques. In the absence of guiding principles for positioning TLS relative to an object, surveyors collect data at maximum arrangements of scanning geometry elements due to fear of incomplete data of TLS. In 3D spatial data acquisition, positional accuracy and Level of Detail (LOD) are major considerations and are dependent on laser incident angle, footprint size, range and resolution. Mathematical models have been developed relating range, incident angle and laser footprint size for different surface configurations. These models can be used to position TLS to collect data at required positional accuracy and LOD. Models have been verified by deriving one model from other surface models by changing parameters. Effects of incident angle and footprint size have been studied mathematically and experimentally on a natural sloping surface. From the results, surveyors can plan the positioning of the scanner so that data is collected at the required accuracy and LOD.
New method of paper hydrophobization based on starch-cellulose-siloxane interactions
Authors: Ganicz Tomasz , Olejnik Konrad , Rózga-Wijas Krystyna , Kurjata Jan
Published: July 2021

A new method of paper hydrophobization was evaluated based on a coating agent containing a water emulsion of triethoxymethylsilane with standard starch solutions. The effects of different concentrations on the hydrophobic properties of the resulting silicone-coated materials were investigated using a penetration dynamics analyzer (PDA) and water contact angle measurements. This study also examined the effects of the applied coatings on the paper’s tensile strength, tear index, roughness, air permeance, and ISO brightness. Preliminary studies were conducted on the molecular interaction mechanisms between the silicone agent and starch modifiers, based on solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) images.

Published: July 2021

This study aimed to access different desirable characteristics of nine Hibiscus cannabinus L. accessions based on morphophysiological characteristics and fiber tensile strength for an effective selection of H. cannabinus plant improvement. Four China accessions (FH952, T15, T17, and T19), four Bangladesh accessions (HC2, HC95, V4202, and V4383), and V36 (control) accession were examined in a four-month cultivation period. The experimental design was arranged using randomized complete block design with three replications. Stem diameter was found to be significantly related (p ≤ 0.05) with all morphological and yield characteristics except for leaf dry weight and growth efficiency. Bigger stem diameter was an indicator of fiber yield in attempts to apply crossing and selection to improve performance. Photosynthesis rate also was found to be significantly related (p ≤ 0.05) with stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, instantaneous water use efficiency, and carboxylation efficiency. High photosynthesis rate could be an indicator to interpret the pattern of genetic variation of plant assimilation rate and its relation with environmental and agronomic factors. The fiber tensile modulus, however, was found to be inversely correlated with fiber diameter. The present study suggests the selection of control, V4383, HC2, and FH952 accessions for a breeding line as they possess high fiber yield, fiber strength, and photosynthetic efficiency.
Properties of core-half wrapped shell structure wood-polymer composites containing glass fiber-reinforced shells
Authors: Huang Runzhou , Zhang Xian , Teng Zhuangzhuang , Yao Fei
Published: July 2021

Glass fiber (GF) is commonly applied as a filler in the preparation of polymer composites. Due to the presence of GF, composite mechanical performance, flame resistance, and thermal performance could be greatly improved. The influence of a GF-filled polymer shell layer was investigated relative to the morphology, mechanical, thermal, and fire flammability performance of the core-half wrapped shell structured wood high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composites prepared via co-extrusion. The use of the relatively less-stiff pure HDPE with high linear coefficients of thermal expansion (LCTEs) lowered the general thermal stability and modulus of the wood polymer composites (WPCs). Flexural and thermal expansion properties were improved for the GF-filled HDPE shells in comparison to the unmodified material, enabling a well-balanced performance of this novel core–shell material. Implementation of GF-modified HDPE or unmodified HDPE layers as a shell for WPC core remarkably improved the impact resistance of the co-extruded WPCs. In comparison with composites possessing unmodified HDPE shell, the flame resistance performance of the shell layer was slightly improved in case that the GF content was below 25 wt%. A slight decrease in composite general heat release and rate was discovered in case that the GF content was greater than 25 wt%.

With regard to the wide application of Transformer Oils (TO) as an energy stream on an industrial scale with fast progress towards green TO generation and regeneration technologies, the current review takes into investigation the TO generation industries based on the screening step of industrial projects by Iranian evaluator teams of in-charge organizations. The present review encompassed the TO generation and regeneration technologies from traditional, typical, and recently developed practices in this regard. The technologies extended to introduce green TO generation practices in connection with fossil fuel resources. By the way, a comparison has been done based on technologies posed for TO with the used motor oil reprocessing techniques and used lubricant oil regeneration technologies. To sum up, the current review comprised basic knowledge to select the best technologies for decision-making models in future industrial developments. The prominent achievement of the current review can be mentioned to the aggregation of industrial data for further processing in decision-making theory, criteria, and alternatives selections.
John Paul II and the Polish Messianism. Introduction to the Liturgy of History1
Authors: Rojek Paweł
Published: July 2021

Karol Wojtyła, before he was ordained for a priest, was, as everybody knows, an amateur poet, a promising playwright, and an outstanding actor. It is not widely acknowledged, though, that he was also deeply influenced by Romantic Messianism, an original complex of philosophical, religious and social ideas, created by a number of nineteenth-century Polish poets and thinkers. Quite surprisingly, Polish commentators of John Paul II usually disregard this particular context, because, as they believed, it might somehow undermine the universal meaning of the pope’s teaching. Contrary to this view, I propose a program of systematic study of messianic influences on John Paul II. I believe that Polish Romantic Messianism is the key to understanding the thought of the Polish pope. I argue that John Paul II in his theology of history, theology of suffering, and theology of the nation actually developed three crucial ideas of Polish Messianism: millenarism, passionism and missionism. It seems, then, that the work of John Paul II, as the final form of Polish Messianism, is also the key to understanding the heritage of Polish Romantic thought.
Remarks on Some Aspects of Messianism
Authors: Ehrlich Emilia
Published: July 2021

This is an English translation of a paper by Emilia Ehrlich OSU (1924–2006), a long-time secretary and close associate of John Paul II, published in Polish in 1982. Ehrlich reviews the history of Polish Messianism and propounds its original theological interpretation. She compares Polish messianic ideas with the biblical sense of Messianism as well as with the concept of the messianic people found in the documents of Second Vatican Council and developed by Cardinal Karol Wojtyła in his Sources of Renewal. The teaching of the three offices of Christ, as she argues, allows a new theological assessment of many claims of Polish Messianism.

Introduction. Immunomodulator Galavit® is a promising domestic drug for the prevention and treatment of various infectious diseases. Earlier, the authors have developed and investigated in vitro its new dosage form – transdermal therapeutic system (TTS). Positive results from experiments made it possible to proceed to the study of the pharmacokinetic parameters of Galavit® TTS in animals.

Objective: to compare the pharmacokinetic parameters of intramuscular and transdermal administration of immunomodulator Galavit® in animal experiments.

Materials and methods. Sodium aminodihydrophthalazinedione was used as a substance in the form of a powder to prepare a solution for intramuscular administration of 100 mg (trade name Galavit®, manufacturer SELVIM LLC). The pharmacokinetics of transdermal and intramuscular injections were studied in male Chinchilla rabbits weighing 4.5–5.0 kg. Serum sodium aminodihydrophthalazinedione concentrations in animals were determined by highperformance liquid chromatography using a specially developed technique.

Results. In contrast to the injection method, a prolonged and uniform inflow of the drug substance (MP) into the body is observed for percutaneous administration of sodium aminodihydrophthalazinedione. The maximum serum Galavit® concentration for a 40 mg dose (0.172 ± 0.054 μg/mL) and for a 80 mg dose (1.16 ± 0.22 μg/mL) remained at a constant level for 9 and 8 hours, respectively. The relative bioavailability of the Galavit® transdermal therapeutic system was 0.65 and 1.06 for the same doses.

Conclusion. Application of Galavit® 80 mg transdermal therapeutic system provides bioavailability that is similar to the intramuscular administration of this drug at the same dose. At the same time, its maximum serum concentration significantly decreases and the retention time of Galavit® in the body increases by more than 10 times, which can contribute to prolongation of the drug effect. Due to the current growing interest in the use of immunomodulator Galavit® for coronavirus infection COVID-19, the development and study of a new dosage form is a promising task

Kidney injury in heart transplant recipients is of a complex nature and bears the features of all types of cardiorenal interaction impairment. Pre-transplant renal dysfunction, perioperative acute kidney injury, as well as factors associated with graft and immunosuppression, determine the prevalence and severity of kidney pathology in this group of patients. This review examines the pathophysiology of kidney dysfunction in heart failure, the epidemiology, and criteria for acute kidney injury.
Prospects for the use of artificial neural networks for problem solving in clinical transplantation
Authors: Kurabekova R. M. , Belchenkov A. A. , Shevchenko O. P.
Published: July 2021

Management of solid organ recipients requires a significant amount of research and observation throughout the recipient’s life. This is associated with accumulation of large amounts of information that requires structuring and subsequent analysis. Information technologies such as machine learning, neural networks and other artificial intelligence tools make it possible to analyze the so-called ‘big data’. Machine learning technologies are based on the concept of a machine that mimics human intelligence and and makes it possible to identify patterns that are inaccessible to traditional methods. There are still few examples of the use of artificial intelligence programs in transplantology. However, their number has increased markedly in recent years. A review of modern literature on the use of artificial intelligence systems in transplantology is presented.

Published: July 2021

Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is a chronic degenerative process involving the fibrous part of the mitral complex, characterized by calcium deposition and loss of valve function. MAC prevalence is 8–10%, but despite this, the clinical significance of MAC is underestimated. Currently, there are reports that complete decalcification leads to improved long-term outcomes in patients with severe MAC. An analysis of the immediate outcomes of mitral valve surgery in patients with severely calcified mitral annulus with decalcification was performed. The calcified annulus fibrosus underwent complete decalcification in all cases. Calcium deposits were removed in a single block, in 6 cases it was reconstructed with a xeno-pericardial patch; in 2 cases the annulus fibrosus was sutured. There were 2 cases of in-hospital mortality, caused by acute heart failure on day 8 in 1 patient and pulmonary embolism on day 30 after operation in the second patient. There were no complications associated with coronary artery injury and left ventricular posterior wall rupture. Experience in the treatment of severe mitral valve calcification with extensive annulus fibrosus decalcification and subsequent reconstruction is possible and gives satisfactory results.
Is There an Ideological Link Between Neopopulism and Neoliberalism?
Authors: ARMONY VICTOR
Published: July 2021

ABSTRACT This paper deals with the resurgence of populism in Latin America, and particularly with the ideological underpinnings of this phenomenon. Quite unexpectedly, populism has reemerged in several countries, such as Argentina and Peru, in the wake of drastic and all-encompassing neoliberal reforms. This novel situation calls for a reinterpretation of the populist phenomenon. The author contends that neoliberalism and neopopulism have established a strong link at the ideological level. In order to provide empirical evidence for this hypothesis, a corpus of Carlos Menem’s presidential discourse has been analyzed. The author concludes by suggesting that neoliberalism itself tends to stir up populist tendencies in society.

Mujeres campesinas y Soberanía Alimentaria: propuestas para un vivir digno, la experiencia de Inzá, Cauca (Colombia)
Authors: González Torres Santiago , Pachón Ariza Fabio Alberto
Published: July 2021

Resumen: En años recientes, desde el movimiento campesino a nivel global, se ha venido trabajando la Soberanía Alimentaria (SoA) como una alternativa para garantizar condiciones de vida digna en la ruralidad, razón por la cual las comunidades campesinas han acogido esta práctica para reivindicar sus luchas y derechos. Este artículo recoge algunas reflexiones de la investigación que se propuso para identificar la relación entre la SoA y los derechos del campesinado desde la visión de las mujeres campesinas, quienes desde su labor y rol comunitario han construido alternativas que les permiten dignificar la vida en el campo. A través del estudio de caso del Comité de Mujeres de la Asociación Campesina de Inzá Tierradentro (ACIT), se caracteriza la experiencia comunitaria en el que se evidencia el liderazgo de las mujeres para la materialización de propuestas alternativas de acción colectiva del campesinado para la reivindicación de sus derechos.
An EWMA control chart for the mean of individual streams in multiple stream processes
Authors: Simões Bruno Francisco Teixeira , Epprecht Eugenio Kahn
Published: July 2021

Abstract: In a multiple stream process (MSP) a product is manufactured in a number of streams in parallel. The traditional tool for monitoring MSPs, the group control chart (GCC), does not take into account that typically the value of the quality variable in each stream is the sum of a component common to all streams and an individual component, of the particular stream. This may render the GCC ineffective in detecting shifts in the mean of individual streams. Based on this two-components model, we propose an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) GCC to monitor the means of the individual streams components. We optimize its design (minimizing the ARL for given shifts in the mean of a stream) and compare their ARLs with the ones of other existing charts devised for two-components MSPs. For this comparison, we needed to obtain optimal designs of these previous charts too, which were not available in the literature; this is an additional contribution of our work. The ARLs of the charts were obtained by simulation, with a number of runs sufficiently large to ensure precise results. The results show that the proposed chart outperforms the previous ones, becoming thus recommended for the statistical control of MSPs.

Published: July 2021

ABSTRACT The objective was to determine the structural and nutritive parameters for Panicum maximum cv. BRS Zuri under a Eucalyptus shading system, in rainy and dry seasons. At the beginning of each season, the treatments (foliar fertilization levels of 0, 3, 6 and 9 L ha-1) were applied and evaluated at 28, 56, and 84 growing days. The treatments did not affect significantly (p ≥ 0.05) the evaluated parameters. The systems (shading and full sun) and seasons did not change (p ≥ 0.05) forage and root masses. The leaf crude protein content was higher (p ≤ 0.05) in the dry season. Height, leaf mass, stem and dead material, neutral and acid detergent fiber contents, and in vitro dry matter digestibility were affected (p ≤ 0.05) by the system x season. The growing days did not affect (p ≥ 0.05) forage mass. The mass of dead material decreased (p ≤ 0.05) over the evaluated intervals. The other parameters were affected (p ≤ 0.05) by system × growing days. Based on the results, the forage and root masses show that the cv. BRS Zuri is adapted to the shading in the proposed experimental conditions. These masses added to the crude protein content indicate adaptation to low rainfall, inherent to the dry season, while foliar fertilization applied at the beginning of seasons did not affect the structural and nutritive parameters of BRS Zuri grass.
Periphytic algae biomass at different shading levels: an experimental approach
Authors: Santos Helivania Sardinha dos , Rodrigues Liliana
Published: July 2021

Abstract: Aim Light is an essential component in the process of synthesis of organic compounds by photosynthetic organisms. Assuming that a higher level of luminosity would positively influence the production of biomass, we evaluated the influence of different levels of shading on the biomass of periphytic algae, through an experimental study. Methods Glass slides were used for this as an artificial substrate for the colonization and succession of algae in Garças Lake, on the upper Paraná River floodplain, and later transferred to nine aquaria. These were divided into three treatments: three without cover (AC), three with 50% shading screens (A50) and three with 80% shading screens (A80). Abiotic variables (pH, conductivity, turbidity, temperature and dissolved oxygen) and biomass were measured every five days for 15 days. The biomass was evaluated using the chlorophyll-a method. Concentrations of total phosphorus, phosphate, total nitrogen, nitrate and ammoniacal nitrogen were evaluated every five days. Results There was no significant variation of the biomass over time, however, there is a significant difference between the treatments. The highest biomass was found in the control treatment and the lowest was found in the treatment with 80% shading. The other limnological variables evaluated did not show significant changes over time. Conclusions The abiotic variables did not influence the biomass of the phycoperiphyton community, which was influenced only by luminosity. Thus, we conclude that light is a variable with direct influence on the production of periphytic biomass. At low intensity it is a variable that can limit the production of biomass. In high intensity however, it influences by increasing its production.

A magyar biztonságpolitika rendkívül markáns időszakának tekinthető az 1989-1999 közötti évtized, amely nem csak a nemzetközi események intenzitásában érhető tetten, hanem a hazai biztonságpolitikai gondolkodás formálódásában is. Ennek egyik legfontosabb, napjainkban is számos elgondolást és vitákat magában foglaló területe a Magyar Honvédség átalakítását célzó erőfeszítésekhez köthető. A Magyar Tudományos Akadémia Bolyai János Kutató Ösztöndíja által megvalósuló kutatás fő célkitűzése a fenti törekvések biztonságpolitikai jellemzőinek feltárása. E cél megvalósításához egyebek mellett a korszak jelentős szaktekintélyeivel, szakpolitikusokkal és katonai vezetőkkel elkészített irányított interjúk, mint primer források szolgálhatnak. Ez alkalommal M. Szabó Miklós nyugállományú altábornaggyal, akadémikussal, a Nemzeti Közszolgálati Egyetem (korábban Zrínyi Miklós Nemzetvédelmi Egyetem) volt rektorával készített interjút adjuk közre.

Published: July 2021

The work is part of a joint diagnostic effort in the micro-region of Presidente Kubistchek, in Serra do Espinhaço, through a partnership between the Espinhaço Institute and the Federal University of Lavras (UFLA). This work seeks to analyze the limits and possibilities for an Integrated Cultural Territory Management (GCIT) in the micro-region and to propose methodological alternatives for new interventions in the territory. As a reference, the conceptual basis of GCIT was used. Methodologically, the diagnosis of the UFLA team was analyzed, which generated data through Participant Observation and focus groups. The results show that the method used to collect data from the pre-diagnosis requires greater participation by the various groups in the territories, aiming at empowering the actors and a transdisciplinary view on the data. Subsequently, at a time of diagnosis, with all groups debating the data generated, the study points out the possibilities for a reflection and understanding of the territory in a perspective of space, time and causality. As a way to enhance medium and long-term actions, the study outlines the need for Resource Centers and Spaces of Memories that open the way for debate between generations, aiming at a symbolic appropriation of territories and their territorialities, with the objective of structuring proposals medium and long term for the micro-region of Presidente Kubistchek
ATAC-STARR-seq v1

Published: July 2021

Transcriptional enhancers control cell-type specific gene expression in humans and dysfunction can lead to debilitating diseases, including cancer. Identifying bona-fide enhancers is difficult due to a lack of spatial or sequence constraints. In addition, only a small percentage of the genome is accessible in matured cell types; and therefore, most enhancers are inactive due to their chromatin context rather than intrinsic properties of the DNA sequence itself. For this reason, we decided to assay regulatory activity exclusively within accessible chromatin. To do this, we combined assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) with self-transcribing active regulatory region sequencing (STARR-seq); we call this method ATAC-STARR-seq. With ATAC-STARR-seq, we identify both active and silent regulatory elements in GM12878 B cells; these active and silent elements are enriched for transcription factor motifs and histone modifications associated with activating and repressing regulation, respectively. We also show that ATAC-STARR-seq quantifies chromatin accessibility and transcription factor binding. We integrate this information and subset active regions based on transcription factor binding profiles. Depending on the transcription factors bound, subsets are enriched for distinct reactome pathways. Altogether, this highlights the power of ATAC-STARR-seq to investigate the transcriptional regulatory landscape of the human genome.

In this paper, two multielement analysis techniques, Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) and Total Reflection X-ray Fluorescence (TXRF), are combined to detect elemental concentrations in Barbula indica moss collected at Dalat, Vietnam. Combining these two techniques has improved the qualitative detection of elements due to atmospheric deposition on moss samples. The concentrations of 40 elements, including Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, K, Ar, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Br, Kr, Rb, Y, Sb, I, Cs, Ba, La, Ce, Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy, Yb, Hf, Ta, Pb, Th, and U in the Barbula indicamoss samples collected at 19 locations at Dalat have been determined. It is shown that the air in Dalat is suspected of contamination by Na, Mg, Si, P, S, V, Mn, Cu, Se, Br, and U; slightly contaminated by Mg, Cl, K, Cr, Ni, S, and Ni; moderately contaminated by Sc, Fe, Co, Zn, As, Kr, Rb, Y, Sb, Cs, Ba, La, Ce, Sm, Eu, Dy, Yb, Ta, Pb, and Th; and seriously contaminated by Tb. Factor analysis has been used to explain the contamination sources of these elements, including V, As, Fe, Zn, Se, Rb, Sb, Cs, Al, Cu, and Pb in the investigated area. Four factors have been extracted that can explain 86% of the total variance, and the results suggest that the main sources of atmospheric pollution in Dalat originate from traffic and windblown dust.

The entomopathogenic fungal genus Lecanicillium Gams and Zare (formerly classified as the species Verticillium lecanii) includes species that are highly pathogenic to many insect genera. In this study, we identified six Lecanicilliumspp. isolated strains (designated as V1-V6) belonging to L. lecanii (V1, V3 and V5) and L. attenuatum (V2, V4 and V6). In addition, these strains were used to obtain new strains via protoplast fusion, and nit mutants were used for protoplast selection. Genetic recombination of the hybrid strains was determined using the random amplified polymorphic DNA(RAPD) technique. We obtained nine stable fusant strains from 176 new hybrid strains, which were termed V12-10, V14-3, V16-4, V23-6, V25-8, V34-14, V36-5, V45-16 and V56-7. Morphological characteristics varied between the hybrid and parental strains. Genomic DNA analysis of the fusants also showed genetic recombination. The median lethal concentration (LC50) for the fusants were lower than that for parental strains, and the median survival time (LT50) for the fusants were reduced compared with that for parental strains. Thus, these results showed that we produced new, more virulent hybrid Lecanicillium spp. strainsas biological control agents via intraspecific protoplast fusion.

bacillus cereus is an important, opportunistic, foodborne pathogen found in various dairy products. In this study, the prevalence, physiological characteristics, antimicrobial resistance profile, and enterotoxigenic genes (ces and hbla) of b. cereus were investigated in isolates from Egyptian dairy products. A total of 150 samples, including soft white cheese, milk powder, and ultra-high temperature (UHT) milk (50 of each), were collected from local dairy stores in EL-Gharbia governorate, Egypt from April 2019 to October 2019. Of these, 29 samples were contaminated with b. cereus (an overall prevalence of 19.3%). Based on cultural, morphological, and biochemical characteristics, 48 isolates were detected including 27 (56.25%) from soft white cheese, 9 (18.75%) from milk powder, and 12 (25%) from UHT milk. Antibiotic susceptibility assessment showed that all isolates exhibited high sensitivity to amikacin, doxycyclin, gentamycin, ciprofloxacin, while significant resistance to kanamycin, clindamycin, nalidixic acid, cephalothin, and sulphamethoxazole was also observed. All isolates were examined for the presence of emetic (ces) and diarrheal (hbla) genes using the PCR method; ces was detected in 12 (25%) isolates, hbla in 14 (29.2%) isolates, while 22 (45.8%) isolates did not harbor either gene. These findings indicate the need for the application of adequate preventive measures and personnel hygiene in dairy processing lines to minimize b. cereus load in final products.

Published: July 2021

This paper is a comparative study of several algorithms for detecting multiple outliers in circular-circular regression model based on the clustering algorithms. Three measures of similarity based on the circular distance were used to obtain a cluster tree using the agglomerative hierarchical methods. A stopping rule for the cluster tree based on the mean direction and circular standard deviation of the tree height was used as the cutoff point and classifier to the cluster group that exceeded the stopping rule as potential outliers. The performances of the algorithms have been demonstrated using the simulation studies that consider several outlier scenarios with a certain degree of contamination. Application to real data using wind data and a simulated data set are given for illustrative purposes. Thus, it has been found that Satari’s algorithm (S-SL algorithm) performs well for any values of sample size n and error concentration parameter. The algorithms are good in identifying outliers which are not limited to one or few outliers only, but the presence of multiple outliers at one time.
