Authors: Visentini Monize Sâmara , Fenner Vanessa Unfried , De Oliveira Djeferson
Published: April 2020

Desde o início do século XX, quando a bebida começou a surgir no país, até hoje, o principal atrativo dos comercias de

cerveja consiste na imagem da mulher. Este estudo tem como objetivo verificar se esse consagrado atrativo realmente exerce

influência sobre o comportamento de compra dos consumidores. Como metodologia, a pesquisa realizada foi descritiva e

quantitativa, caracterizando-se como levantamento ou survey. Para possibilitar o alcance do objetivo proposto,aplicou-se um

questionário auto administrado, validado por meio de um pré-teste com 309 consumidores de cerveja com idade superior

a 18 anos. A amostra foi selecionada por meio de amostragem não probabilística por conveniência e com uma equação de

Levine et al. (2013), utilizada em situações em que não se conhece o desvio-padrão amostral nem a proporção populacional

do universo investigado. Como resultado da pesquisa, verificou-se a eficácia da imagem da mulher em propagandas de

cerveja, especialmente diante do público masculino. Além disso, nota-se uma tendência de as consumidoras mulheres terem

uma percepção mais positiva sobre comerciais de cerveja que ilustradas com homens.

Published: April 2020

Part of the Physical Activity Intervention Series, Physical Activity Interventions in Children and Adolescents provides information on current levels of youth physical activity and presents a basic understanding of the issues associated with it. The book offers a clear and reader-friendly overview of theories of behavior change that have been used in developing physical activity interventions in a variety of settings and methods for program evaluation. Specific recommendations for physical activity from various professional and health organizations are included as well. The book also provides

– descriptive epidemiology of youth physical activity that helps identify the changes in activity as children age;

– insights into the potential role of the family and the community in providing physical activity opportunities for youth;

– guidance for the development of collaborative relationships among agencies and organizations to promote physical activity in the community; and

– a review of available instruments for measuring physical activity in youth populations, including self-report instruments and step counters.

Practical application of the information covered in Physical Activity Interventions in Children and Adolescents is demonstrated through real-world interventions that have been implemented in various settings. The programs were selected based on their demonstrated effectiveness, potential for success, or unique features. Strengths and weaknesses of each intervention are highlighted. In addition to the presentation of existing programs, guidelines for the development of new programs are presented. Sample worksheets serve as valuable tools in evaluating and designing interventions in areas where proven programs are not yet available.

The text follows a three-part progression. Part I provides an orientation to activity in young people, describing how to change behavior and introducing the settings in which such behavior change programs might be developed. In Part II, documented interventions are examined for programs in schools, community organizations, and home and health care settings. Part III explores intervention design, assisting those who want to design their own interventions for specific populations. Descriptions of program evaluation, including useful measurement instruments, are detailed as well.
Principles and Practice of Resistance Training
Authors: Stone Michael H. , Stone Meg , Sands William A.
Published: April 2020

Principles and Practice of Resistance Training represents a true breakthrough in planning and monitoring strength training programs. This research-based book details how to systematically examine the physical, physiological, and biomechanical parameters associated with crafting resistance training programs to improve sport performance and strength and power in athletes. The authors bring together more than 100 collective years of teaching, conducting research, and coaching national- and international-level athletes to share their unique insights concerning adaptations to strength and conditioning.

The text is written in a manner that challenges professionals while remaining accessible to advanced coaches. It begins by presenting readers with an understanding of basic science. This scientific foundation allows readers to formulate a sound training process that is more likely to produce the desired short- and long-term results. Next, the text examines how to test, monitor, and evaluate adaptations to various types of training programs. It emphasizes the significance of appropriately monitoring training programs to identify elements of the program to adjust so the goals of clients or athletes are more effectively and efficiently achieved. Finally, the authors discuss exercise selection and present a practical example so readers can learn to apply the information in the text to build their own training programs. Each chapter is written in a “stand-alone” manner so that readers can refer back to the material as needed.

Principles and Practice of Resistance Training also explores key questions that currently have no clear, scientifically proven answers. For these issues, the authors offer reasoned, speculative explanations based on the best available information and data--including anecdotal evidence-- intended to stimulate additional observation and research that will eventually offer a clearer understanding and resolution of the issues involved. In sharing their personal experiences as coaches and research scientists, the authors are able to address issues that are not normally dealt with in academic programs.

Principles and Practice of Resistance Training is far more than a general guide for strength training. It is an in-depth exploration of the science behind the training. Armed with the scientific understanding and the tools to put that information into practice, you will be able to develop training programs that help your athletes or clients excel.
An LES-based airborne Doppler lidar simulator and its application to wind profiling in inhomogeneous flow conditions
Authors: Gasch Philipp , Wieser Andreas , Lundquist Julie K. , Kalthoff Norbert
Published: April 2020

Abstract. Wind profiling by Doppler lidar is common practice and highly useful in a wide range of applications.
Airborne Doppler lidar can provide additional insights relative to ground-based systems by allowing for spatially distributed and targeted measurements.
Providing a link between theory and measurement, a first large eddy simulation (LES)-based airborne Doppler lidar simulator (ADLS) has been developed.
Simulated measurements are conducted based on LES wind fields, considering the coordinate and geometric transformations applicable to real-world measurements.
The ADLS provides added value as the input truth used to create the measurements is known exactly, which is nearly impossible in real-world situations.
Thus, valuable insight can be gained into measurement system characteristics as well as retrieval strategies. As an example application, airborne Doppler lidar wind profiling is investigated using the ADLS.
For commonly used airborne velocity azimuth display (AVAD) techniques, flow homogeneity is assumed throughout the retrieval volume, a condition which is violated in turbulent boundary layer flow.
Assuming an ideal measurement system, the ADLS allows to isolate and evaluate the error in wind profiling which occurs due to the violation of the flow homogeneity assumption.
Overall, the ADLS demonstrates that wind profiling is possible in turbulent wind field conditions with reasonable errors
(root mean squared error of 0.36 m s−1 for wind speed when using a commonly used system setup and retrieval strategy for the conditions investigated).
Nevertheless, flow inhomogeneity, e.g., due to boundary layer turbulence, can cause an important contribution to wind profiling error and is non-negligible.
Results suggest that airborne Doppler lidar wind profiling at low wind speeds (<5ms-1) can be biased, if conducted in regions of inhomogeneous flow conditions.

Published: April 2020

Abstract. Most scenarios from integrated assessment models (IAMs) that
project greenhouse gas emissions include the use of bioenergy as a means to
reduce CO2 emissions or even to achieve negative emissions (together
with CCS – carbon capture and storage). The potential amount of CO2 that can be removed from the
atmosphere depends, among others, on the yields of bioenergy crops, the land
available to grow these crops and the efficiency with which CO2
produced by combustion is captured. While bioenergy crop yields can be
simulated by models, estimates of the spatial distribution of bioenergy
yields under current technology based on a large number of observations are
currently lacking. In this study, a random-forest (RF) algorithm is used to
upscale a bioenergy yield dataset of 3963 observations covering
Miscanthus, switchgrass, eucalypt, poplar and willow using climatic and soil
conditions as explanatory variables. The results are global yield maps of
five important lignocellulosic bioenergy crops under current technology,
climate and atmospheric CO2 conditions at a 0.5∘×0.5∘ spatial resolution. We also provide a combined “best
bioenergy crop” yield map by selecting one of the five crop types with
the highest yield in each of the grid cells, eucalypt and Miscanthus in most cases. The
global median yield of the best crop is 16.3 t DM ha−1 yr−1 (DM – dry matter). High
yields mainly occur in the Amazon region and southeastern Asia. We further
compare our empirically derived maps with yield maps used in three IAMs and
find that the median yields in our maps are > 50 % higher than
those in the IAM maps. Our estimates of gridded bioenergy crop yields can be
used to provide bioenergy yields for IAMs, to evaluate land surface models
or to identify the most suitable lands for future bioenergy crop
plantations. The 0.5∘×0.5∘ global maps for
yields of different bioenergy crops and the best crop and for the best crop
composition generated from this study can be download from https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3274254 (Li, 2019).
Towards the closure of momentum budget analyses in the WRF (v3.8.1) model
Authors: Chen Ting-Chen , Yau Man-Kong , Kirshbaum Daniel J.
Published: April 2020

Abstract. Budget analysis of a tendency equation is widely utilized in numerical studies to quantify different physical processes in a simulated system. While such analysis is often post-processed when the output is made available, it is well acknowledged that the closure of a budget is difficult to achieve without temporal and/or spatial averaging. Nevertheless, the development of errors in such calculations has not been systematically investigated. In this study, an inline budget retrieval method is first developed in the WRF v3.8.1 model and tested on a 2D idealized slantwise convection case with a focus on the momentum equations. This method extracts all the budget terms following the model solver, which gives a high accuracy, with a residual term always less than 0.1 % of the tendency term. Then, taking the inline values as truth, several offline budget analyses with different commonly used simplifications are performed to investigate how they may affect the accuracy of the estimation of individual terms and the resultant residual. These assumptions include using a lower-order advection operator than the one used in the model, neglecting grid staggering, or following a mathematically equivalent but transformed format of the governing equations. Errors in these post-processed analyses are found mostly over the area where the dynamics are the most active, thus impairing the subsequent physical interpretation. A maximum 99th percentile residual can reach >50 % of the concurrent tendency term, indicating the danger of neglecting the residual term as done in many budget studies. This work provides general guidance not only for budget diagnoses with the WRF model but also for minimizing the errors in post-processed budget calculations.
Approaching media as socio-technical assemblages in a datafied age
Authors: Dahlin Emma
Published: April 2020

In times when new means of communication are emerging, it becomes increasingly relevant to revisit and reconsider media studies’ main concerns, and how contemporary media can be understood and studied. This paper draws attention to how the presumption of characteristics belonging to certain entities may elevate problems in a datafied age when streaming services, texts, content, producers, audiences, social media sites, and television are always intensely entangled. Here, the paper argues that it might no longer make sense, or even be possible, to make clear-cut distinctions between such entities. The paper further elaborates on the relevance and possibilities for media studies to draw upon actor-network theory (ANT). The paper argues that ANT, through its ideas of approaching objects as situated and local, can be a useful alternative theoretical approach when studying media phenomena in a datafied age.
Behind the music: How labor changed for musicians through the subscription economy
Authors: Mühlbach Saskia , Arora Payal
Published: April 2020

Subscription services for users with low or no cost access to vast libraries of music has initiated a decrease in revenue for musicians. The growing evidence of exploitation of creative workers in the subscription economy and the sparse scientific coverage of the artist perspective motivated this paper. Through in-depth interviews with musicians, it examines how labor changed for artists in the music industry through the rise of streaming platforms, specifically in the context of Germany. The findings show that the non-creative process takes up more of the artist’s time. Artists perceive their music as less of an artistic product and more as a marketing tool for their own brand. To support the non-creative tasks, artists leverage on data that platforms provide. We witness a re-intermediation in the music market as well as an increase in competition. This paper pushes the conversation on labor and precarity in the music industry that is fast becoming platformized.
Influencers and targets on social media: Investigating the impact of network homogeneity and group identification on online influence
Authors: Malinen Sanna , Koivula Aki
Published: April 2020

This study identifies social media users who aim to influence others and those who have experienced influencing behavior targeted at them. It investigates how influential users and targets of influence differ with respect to their demographic backgrounds and how the perceived group identification, network homogeneity, and size of the social network affect online influence. The data was based on a large-scale survey of Finnish people (N=2,761). We find that young and highly educated men were more likely to be targets of influence, but the demographic differences were less obvious with regard to influencing behavior. Moreover, group identification was a significant factor underpinning online influence for both influencing behavior and target experiences. The network homogeneity and the size of the network increased the likelihood of influencing behavior. Our main contribution is to shed light on people who are targets of online influencing on social media. By comparing influential users and their targets, this study extends the previous research, which has mostly focused on detecting influential people.

Authors: Roele Maximilian , Ward Janelle , Van Duijn Max
Published: April 2020

Emoji, colourful pictographs showing faces, creatures and objects, have seen a surge in popularity and number in recent years. This exploratory study strives to answer the following question: how and why are emoji used on Twitter in the Netherlands and England? By combining quantitative and qualitative methods, we identified three important factors explaining emoji usage: the individual’s purpose on Twitter, the perceived functionality of emoji and the individual’s selection criteria for emoji. Overall, emoji play an important role in online communication and their use is more complex than their light-hearted appearance may suggest.

Authors: Lauková Michaela , Karovičová Jolana , Minarovičová Lucia , Kohajdová Zlatica
Published: April 2020

The food industry also focuses on the use of by-products from food processing. Wheat bran is a valuable by-product of the wheat milling process, which is rich in dietary fiber. In addition to nutritional value, dietary fiber has a functional potential in the production of novel foods. Pre-treatment of the dietary fiber using different methods can change its functional properties. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of stabilization process on physico-chemical parameters and functional properties of wheat bran. Wheat bran from two wheat variety was treated using microwave and hot air heating. It was observed that wheat bran included more than 45% of total dietary fiber. Results suggested that treatment of bran using both method increased total dietary fiber content. Thermal treatment process decreased the anti-nutritional agent in bran samples. Phytic acid content diminishing of 44% and 49% was observed in microwave treated bran samples. Moreover, treatment of bran using a hot air heating improved the hydration properties (water holding, water retention and swelling capacity), while oil holding capacity was not significantly altered. Treatment decreased the antioxidant activity of treated bran samples. It was observed that thermal treatment modified the color parameters of bran (lightness, yellowness and hue angle decreased and redness and Chroma increased).

Authors: Gyimah Adjei Gyamfi , Agyeman Annette Serwaa , Adu-Asare Solomon
Published: April 2020

Microfinance institutions contribute significantly to the development of a country, and many of these institutions are found in most developing countries including Ghana. However, many challenges have been alleged to stifle the efforts of microfinance companies in their attempt to make their all-important contribution to the development of nations. This study explored the effect of operational flaws on the performance of microfinance institutions in Ghana. The results discovered flaws and challenges associated with the operations of the MFIs in many areas including corporate governance, credit risk management, credit administration, regulatory challenges, and training programs. The study also revealed that such flaws and challenges do harm the overall performance of the MFIs. Based on the findings, it is recommended that MFIs put in place a well-composed and resourceful credit committee to perform the duty of credit risk management in the institutions. The institutions could also reduce their interest rates to encourage their clients to apply for more loans. Lastly, it is recommended that the MFIs take all necessary steps to ensure that they reduce the flaws and challenges they face to mitigate the negative impact of such deficiencies on their performance.
Homeric Evidences of an Inherently Actional Opposition: ἔρχομαι vs ἦλθον
Authors: Nigrelli Castrenze
Published: April 2020

The paper aims at analyzing the paradigmatic relationship between the verbs ἔρχομαι and ἦλθον in Homeric Greek. Both verbs convey the idea of going within a Homeric suppletive paradigm. Although suppletivism between ἔρχομαι, εἶμι, ἐλεύσομαι (future), ἦλθον (aorist), εἰλήλουθα (perfect) is generally accepted, there is still uncertainty on both etymology and semantic features involving inherent actionality, with particular reference to ἔρχομαι. Therefore, the actional status of ἔρχομαι and its relationship with ἦλθον need further investigation. A textual analysis of the Homeric occurrences of both ἔρχομαι and ἦλθον, focusing on the semantic-syntactic discourse context, has shed light on their mutual suppletive relationship and proved that it is ultimately based on their inherently actional opposition within the paradigm.
How Does Government Spending Affect Labour Force Participation and Unemployment Within the WAMZ Countries?
Authors: Isiaka Abdulaleem Moyosore
Published: April 2020

This study utilizes static and dynamic models in examining the short run and long run impacts of government spending on labour force participation and unemployment within the West African Monetary Zone (WAMZ) over the period 1991-2018. While the static models are estimated using the Pooled Ordinary Least Squares (POLS) technique and the Least Squares Dummy Variables (LSDV) technique, the dynamic models are estimated using the GMM-IV technique. The GMM-IV technique better addresses endogeneity issues relative to the other techniques utilized and also, the parameters obtained from the technique are confirmed to be consistent by the Arellano-Bond test for zero autocorrelation. Accordingly, this technique is given preference in this paper. The results from the technique reveal that government spending increases the labour force participation rate but has an ambiguous impact on unemployment rate. In the long run, the parameter estimates largely remain unchanged in terms of their sign and significance; however, they increase in size. Based on these findings, this paper firstly recommends that policy makers intensify efforts in increasing government spending; as a reduction may impact negatively on the labour force participation rate. Secondly, this paper recommends the formulation and implementation of fiscal policies that are robust enough to reduce the unemployment rate as they increase the labour force participation rate.

Published: April 2020

Financial satisfaction is a state in which students satisfied and contented to the financial support given by their parents. Students’ persistence is the capability of students to continue in their studies even though they know that it would be difficult. The study intends to assess the level of students’ satisfaction in financial support and their students’ persistence in studies. The study used the descriptive correlational research design. The researcher used rating scale as a medium to obtain and gathered data needed. The tool is a researcher-made tool which consists of two parts which part A that tries to determine the Students’ Satisfaction in financial support and part B which will determine the Students Persistence in Studies. The respondents of the study were chosen from Grade 11 and Grade 12 students of Jagobiao National High School with a total population of 235 students. The results of the study revealed that in table 1, students have a high level of satisfaction in financial support. Students who have enough financial support from their parents can feel satisfied. In table 2, students’ persistence in studies depends on the financial support given by their parents. Students persist more if they have enough financial aid support and they also produces presentable works and excellent output and pass it on time or ahead of time. The study also reveals that there is a correlation between students’ satisfaction in financial support and students’ persistence in studies as the null hypothesis was rejected.

Authors: Moneva Jerald C. , Bantasan Monique , Vertulfo Ria M.
Published: April 2020

Broken family leads to children being raised by single parents, stepparents or others not related to the biological parents. The study used a univariate likert scale among senior high school students in Jagobiao National High School. There are questions to gather the data. Firstly, students with broken family reported that they perform differently compared to the students with complete family. They do not have the confidence to stand out in class and even socializing the people around them. The findings of the study is statistically not significant between performance task and socialization of the students with broken family because the Cross tabulation presented that performance task does not affect the students socialization. Majority of the students perform well with a complete family rather than the broken ones. A number of students have fair confidence to socialize with other people. Other students with incomplete family poorly perform their task and their socialization skills rated poor as well. Hence, most of the students with incomplete family satisfactory perform their task and their socialization skill rated as satisfactory also. The study accentuates that the two variables performance task and socialization of the students with broken family does not have a significant correlation.

Parental communication is the communication between a parent and a child. Having communication and stronger relationship of the family is very important, it can have an impact on the family’s closeness and can improve students participation. The study used checklist-questionnaire in gathering the data. In getting results, the study used chi-square and weighted mean to examine the relationship between the two variables. . There were two hundred forty five respondents that were gathered in Senior High School of Jagobiao National High School in North road, Jagobiao Mandaue City. The results showed that there was a relationship between parental communication and students participation in school activities. The parents should communicate to their children and encourage them to participate school activities. It can improve their performance and grades in school. The communication given by their parents can make the students more confident to join and participate the school activities.
La “política del poder” en Caperucita en la zona roja, de Manlio Argueta
Authors: Pacheco Eduardo
Published: April 2020

La noción de poder en la narrativa centroamericana de finales del siglo XX ha cobrado relevancia por evidenciar el enfrentamiento entre sectores disconformes por la explotación y la marginalización a la que son sometidos, donde el concepto de Nación se deforma debido a la instauración de un discurso totalmente capitalista y dictatorial. Ante tal notoriedad, la novela de Manlio Argueta se vale de mecanismos discursivos para manifestar claramente el compromiso político y liberatorio de la clase obrera y universitaria frente a un poder centrípeto. Basándose en eso mismo, se aplica al texto en estudio la teoría del poder de Foucault orientada en tres vértices, los movimientos sociales universitarios por la autonomía social, el papel de la mujer en la lucha revolucionaria y el desarrollo social y, el carácter referencial, donde resulta más conveniente observar la conformación de un poder subalterno que a travésde prácticas sociales origina una de las más violentas revoluciones en Latinoamérica.

Symbolic Resistance: Tradition in Batik Transitions Sustain Beauty, Cultural Heritage and Status in the Era of Modernity
Authors: Poon Stephen
Published: April 2020

The use of batik as design culture heritage of Kampoeng Laweyan, a village in the Surakarta (Solo) province of Java island, Indonesia, is the case study of this paper. The purpose of research is to understand how batik, from its ancestral place of origin, facilitated the rise of a small community from cycles of economic slumps, while facing the external impacts of globalisation. Even as batik preservation gained UNESCO recognition in 2009, some critics argue that economic development is contrarian to the concept of preservation and sustainability. This paper brings together the numerous cultural, historical and socioeconomic perspectives of Indonesia’s batik status as an intangible heritage. Using phenomenological method of critical inquiry, it traces the development of batik as a traditional cloth of both royalty and rural Indonesian society, a dual symbolic expression of folk wisdom which simultaneously facilitating architectural and social preservation of local communities. Interpretative analysis of batik artform as a cultural phenomenon presents the inherent ‘equipment and expertise’ as ways in which Laweyan leverages the economic potential of local cultural heritage in its tourism marketing. Findings show that supportive mechanisms and initiatives at local and national levels create awareness and interest in traditional batik heritage. Nevertheless, a concern for the productive capacities of rural villages must be harmonised with sustainable cultural tourism programmes for social and environmental benefits. From these principal findings, this paper contributes to design research by urging for the modernisation of batik as an iconic representation of Indonesian identity to be sustainably explored. Through designing, production, marketing and promotion via heritage tourism initiatives and through injecting contemporary ideas into batik production, it enables the preservation of generational wisdom through the intangible values of this distinctively beautiful and intricate fabric.
Cognition on the Relation between the “Ego” and the “Other” in Science Fiction Movies
Authors: Jun Yan
Published: April 2020

Mankind is always trapped in the introspection in one’s identity and the relationship with others, about which, many philosophers and psychologists like Feud and Lacan, have established various theories. Many science fiction movies can function as allegorical stories for the interpretation of those theories about the two concepts and their relation. Deep probing and comprehensive analyses of those movies in light of Feud’s and Lacan’s theories about the “ego” and the “other” make it easy to see that the “ego” has an intricating relation with the “other”, which symbolizes both other people, the world and the ego itself. The “other” is intimidating to the “ego”, but the integrity with it is also what the ego pursuits. So, for the harmony between the “ego” and the “other”, the “ego” should pursuit its integrity with the “other”, while confirming its own identity.
Super-Items Created by Mere Presence of Visual Material on Retail Displays

This study focuses on the perception of numerosity of item sets placed in retail displays. Previous studies have demonstrated that the item sets’ perceived numerosity decreases as the number of polygonal shapes placed in a panel behind a display increases. Such a result was explained by a non-spatial clustering phenomenon exerted by the shapes. Our research reveals the perceptual mechanisms underlying the described effect. Using an eye-tracking procedure, we highlight that upon augmenting the number of polygonal shapes in the decision-making context: (a) there is a significant decrease in the number of total fixations per display; (b) there is an underestimation of the perceived numerosity of item sets involved. The findings suggest that the mere presence of visual shapes can alter perception generating complex objects or “super-items”, which tend to perceptually replace entire item sets. We also propose managerial implications in terms of category management and merchandising.
Speed running is determined by strength and power in young football players
Authors: Kuczek Piotr , Nowak Beata K.
Published: April 2020

Introduction: For years researchers and trainers have been looking for determinants of sports talent in the youngest and also in the relationship between individual motor features relevant in given sport disciplines. There is a fundamental consensus in the opinion that the strength and power of the lower limbs are correlated with the speed of running. However, this relationship also among the youngest is not so clear. The purpose of the work was to show the relationship between strength and power generated during vertical jump and achieved height jump and the speed of flat running in the youngest footballers. Material and methods: The research covered 75 children training football at the age of 6–14 years divided into two age groups. The subjects made a countermovement jump on a dynamometric platform measuring strength, power, speed of rebound and the height obtained, after which they performed a flying run over a distance of 20 m. Results: A strong, positive correlation was demonstrated between all dynamic and kinetic parameters of the jump and running speed. This correlation turned out to be clearly stronger in the older group of football players than in the younger group. Conclusions: The obtained results suggest that strength and power are good predictors, such an important feature in football as the player’s motion speed, already at the basic level of training.

Interaction of Fire-Extinguishing Agents with Flame of Diesel Bio Fuel and Its Mixtures
Authors: Antonov Anatolii , Skorobagatko Taras , Yakovchuk Roman , Sviatkevych Oleksandr
Published: April 2020

Analytical and experimental data on fire hazard of diesel bio fuel, its mixtures with oilbased
diesel fuel, and parameters of processes of their burning and interaction with fire-
-extinguishing agents. Applicability of the types of fire-extinguishing agents having been used
for putting-out of diesel bio fuel was revealed and a number of parameters to describe their
efficiency when extinguishing diesel bio fuel were determined. It was revealed that in case of
diesel bio fuel content in its mixtures with oil-based diesel fuel up to 30% fire-extinguishing
efficiency of foam generated from foam solutions nearly does not differ from that when extinguishing
diesel fuel containing no additives.
Fire Cause Analysis in Religious Sites
Authors: Renkas Arthur
Published: April 2020

Annually fires destroy many buildings, and among them are religious properties. This
paper is related to the dynamics of fires on religious sites and to causes of fires in churches.
The main dangers of fires in churches are large number of people, flammable structures, using
furnaces for heating and the absence of the second emergency exit. The main causes of fires in
churches arise from violations of the rules of installation and power grid, operation careless
handling of fire. In order to prevent fires, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the Fire Safety
Rules, to keep the electrical and furnace equipment in good working order, and to carry out
their inspections and maintenance in a timely manner. Also the building should only be left
after making sure that all ignition sources are eliminated.
The Essence of Security Sciences
Authors: Czupryński Andrzej
Published: April 2020

We live in a world of great opportunities, but also of boundless demands. It is generally
agreed that the 21st century would be a century of culture. Globalization of culture is an important
element of social globalization. This process should be understood as a formation of
various relationships and dependencies between societies and their cultures. Globalization
of culture entails a change in values and norms, a disturbance of social memory, and shallow
culture. Presently culture has become a consumer culture, and it is created by the world of
media and the Internet.
The article is an important voice in a wider discussion on the impact of cultural globalism
on human security. The author is convinced that cultural globalism to the greatest extent
affects human personality and social hazards. An important part of it is the description of
personal security, in which human subjectivity, freedom and responsibility of cultural threats
play a significant role.
