The article shows three models of calculating time in relation to civil law relations on the example of several jurisdictions representing the main private legal systems of the world. The author proves that adherence to the particular order of time computation is strongly related to the reception of one of the three traditional doctrines: Roman civil, Roman natural and Anglo-American. All three procedures of use of the order of time calculating are analyzed on the example of the institute of commorientes (heirs in simultaneous death and death in quick succession). Also author depicts the evolution of Russian Law and its transition from civil to natural time calculation in relation to the rules of succession by heirs in simultaneous death and death in quick succession.

SHOULD THE IDENTITY OF THE PERSON WHO NOTIFIES THE HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION REGARDING THE COMMISSION OF AN ACT THAT MAY CONSTITUTE A DISCIPLINARY MISCONDUCT BE REVEALED?
Authors:   Associate Profesor at „Dunărea de Jos” University Galaţi, Faculty of Legal, Social and Political Science, ŞTEFĂNESCU Ana
Published: February 2021

From the perspective of guaranteeing the right to defence to the person in question, we believe that the higher education institution, through the persons involved in the disciplinary activity and those who have access to the resulting documents has no obligation to keep confidential the identity of the sender of the complaint to the one indicated in the complaint (as being the one who would have committed an act that could constitute a disciplinary misconduct). Thus, de lege ferenda, we propose that the complaint in its entirety be communicated to the person in question and the identity of the person who notifies the higher education institution regarding the commission of an act that may constitute a disciplinary misconduct be recorded in the final report of the Review Commission to be attached, as appropriate, to the sanctioning decision. The arguments that support the above are detailed in this material, using as well already regulated best practice models. Thus, we believe that it will prove useful in the academic environment and will discourage those under the protection of "anonymity" to act even in bad faith.
THE LEGAL NATURE OF ”PRE-CONTRACTUL OBLIGATIONS”:CONDITIONS OF VALIDITY IN THE CONSUMER CONTRACT
Authors:   Ph. D, University .”Ştefan cel Mare” of Suceava Faculty of Law and Administrative Sciences, CRETU Georgeta , SPASICI Camelia ,   Ph. D., University of Bucharest, Faculty of Public Administration and Business

This paper aims to briefly analyze the legal nature of “the pre-contractual obligations” regarding the information, counselling and safety elements that are specific to the consumer legislation. From the perspective of consumerist regulations, “the pre-contractual obligations” occur during the formation of the contract stage although in the civil contract the obligations of the parties designate the effects of the contract. In these circumstances, the following question arises: are “the pre-contractual obligations” laid down in the Consumer Code conditions of validity or effects (obligations) of the contract? This dispute is a part of the harmonization process of the institutions that are specific to the legislation of consumption with those of the contract as laid down in the Civil Code (the ordinary law in the matter). The paper is structured in four parts: “Introduction”, “The Stages of the Civil Contract: the Conditions of Validity, Conclusion, Effects and Termination”, “The Pre-Contractual Obligations as Laid Down in the Consumer Code” and “The Legal Character of the Pre-Contractual Obligations.” This legal undertaking ends with conclusions.
Thomas Mann’s "The Magic Mountain" (1924): A questioning of health, rationality, and the romantic tradition
Authors: Kosecki Krzysztof
Published: February 2021

Thomas Mann’s (1875–1955) epic novel The Magic Mountain (1924/1996) turns upside down the conventional axiology of the experiential categories of health and rationality, as well as of the romantic idea of a Bildungsreise or educational journey. The complex narrative describes a profound personal change of the main hero Hans Castorp, which takes place in opposition to the values of the conventional bourgeois society and against the background of the social and political condition of Europe on the verge of World War I.
Multi Facet Rasch Analysis in tests of oral production
Authors: Krakowian Przemysław
Published: February 2021

The difficulty in constructing tests of oral production lies with the rating schemes and assessment frameworks, their construction and validation and subsequently application. This paper advocates extensive use of numerical data and statistical procedures alongside qualitative and intuitive methodologies, where the common denominator lies in the fact that all of the empirical measures involved make use of some form of a performance model allowing to make predictions about the examinee behaviour in order to verify goodness of fit of the observable rating data.
A fictional dialogue against selected linguistic outlooks on spoken language and conversation
Authors: Badio Janusz
Published: February 2021

This work provides an analysis of the fictional dialogue of the first chapter of Faith, anovel by the British writer and novelist, Lesley Pearse. The choice of the novel itself is not considered key. It is most important though that it is arecent novel, with up-to-date topics relevant to an ordinary person. The research question that this author attempts to answer is the extent to which the FD (fictional dialogue) of the first chapter of the novel is similar to real talk and conversation. To this end the FD as amimetic camouflage is discussed against selected cognitive, processing and pragmatic models of speech, talk and discourse. The analysis suggests that in many respects the FD of the first chapter of Faith is indeed agross simplification of the processes that real talk involves. However, this is only to be expected given the contention that it only constitutes the writer’s construal of aprison conversation between women inmates. The FD contains only selected features of real talk. These, however, suffice for the reader to mentally simulate an entire scene.
“Beings of secondary order”: Framing and intertextuality as narrative tools in A.S. Byatt’s “The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye”
Authors: Dobrogoszcz Tomasz
Published: February 2021

Antonia Susan Byatt’s long-standing concern with the interaction between reality and art manifests in many of her texts. For instance, her most widely acclaimed novel, Possession, examines the post-modern preoccupation with the past and history through flagrant use of intertextuality and embedded tales. The story discussed in this paper, “The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye,” also employs the device of narrative framing in order to achieve metafictional aims. “The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye” is an exhibition of Chinese boxes: it engulfs the reader with stories built upon stories, tales descending into tales. Byatt achieves the effect of ontological flickering, Ingarden’s “iridescence,” by means of highlighting the constructed character of the embedded stories and, at the same time, placing the main plot line on the uncertain ground, as it slides between fairy tale and realist fiction, but does not decidedly advance towards magic realism. The insecurity of generic borders in “The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye” seems to illustrate Italo Calvino’s claim that “literature does not recognise Reality as such, but only levels.” Byatt’s protagonist is a narratologist, one of “beings of secondary order” who feed on stories and live by retelling tales. But she is also a self-reliant individual, who understands that the act of retelling “allows the teller to insert him- or herself into the tale.”
Event structure as a metonymic target and vehicle in the languages of the deaf
Authors: Kosecki Krzysztof
Published: February 2021

The paper addresses the issue of event structure in the languages of the deaf. Basing on cognitive linguistic view of metonymy as a pervasive and multi-dimensional conceptual mechanism (Blank, 1999; Lakoff, 1987; Radden & Kövecses, 1999), it argues that signed languages employ parts of events to access whole events, and that actions, objects, locations and other elements of event structure also provide mental access to such concepts as animals, food, instruments, locations, professions, and sports.
Route verbs in English and Polish expressions of fictive motion
Authors: Waliński Jacek
Published: February 2021

This study discusses the use of route verbs in English and Polish expressions of fictive motion. It demonstrates that while in English the verbs cross and pass, which are prototypically used to express routing relations, can be used in most scenarios interchangeably, their Polish equivalents used in this context cannot always replace one another. This indicates that, despite sharing certain common properties, fictive motion expressions in English and Polish are highly conventionalized and subject to interactions between conceptual motivations and language specific semantic constraints.
Conflict scenario emotion events in reality television: a cross-cultural perspective
Authors: Wilson Paul A.
Published: February 2021

The present paper provides an analysis of an Indian female contestant and a British female contestant involved in an Emotion Event, conflict scenario in Celebrity Big Brother, a British reality television show that was aired by the Channel 4 television company. It was shown that the spoken communication between the two contestants conformed to the low context vs. high context communication cultures that are associated with collectivism and individualism, respectively. More specifically, whereas the more collectivistic Indian participant engaged in a more inferred, contextualised and implicit communication style, the style of communication of the British participant was characterised by a clear, logical, explicit message. Furthermore, in a typical individualistic response to the hurtful threat of shame, the British participant, in contrast to the Indian participant who demonstrated a more socially constructive response, em-ployed a more aggressive, confrontational response strategy that was characterised by fight(Wilson, 2017) and relatively uncontrolled anger. This opposes the viewpoint that emotions are discrete entities that function independently of other emotions and supports a conceptual structure of emotions that is based on the proximity of emotion clusters (Wilson & Lewandowska-Tomaszczyk, 2019).
Spanish PIBID: a space that brings school and future teachers together
Authors: Bergmann Juliana Cristina Faggion , Cesco Andréa
Published: February 2021

This paper proposes a reflection on the Spanish Teaching Initiation Institutional Scholarship Program [Spanish PIBID] at the Federal University of Santa Catarina as a space that brings together schools and future teachers, in schools of the Florianópolis Metropolitan Region, showing actions and challenges faced for the consolidation of the program in the region. Based on a research done with the participants of the Spanish subproject—2012-2020—the project was analyzed from the perspective of PIBID teacher trainees, according to the topics highlighted by them, such as the relation between theory and practice, their presence in school, or the relation between the university and basic school. Based on official data on filled and unfilled school capacity, current challenges faced by teaching programs in universities were also taken into account, especially in the case of Spanish as a foreign language program, considering the need to keep teaching-fostering public policies in place. As a formative experience, the subproject is perceived as rewarding, having as a theoretical basis the training of reflective teachers and researchers, concerned with collaborating to maintaining high quality standards for public school as an institution that educates critical and autonomous citizens.
Educational process and socio-environmental conflicts: construction of possible meanings and senses
Authors: Santos Romualdo José dos , Carvalho Luiz Marcelo de
Published: February 2021

Neste artigo, sistematizamos parte dos resultados da tese do primeiro autor, que teve como objetivo construir possíveis significados e sentidos sobre a relação entre processo educativo e conflitos socioambientais, a partir da análise dos textos de teses e dissertações em educação ambiental [EA] concluídas no Brasil. Trata-se de uma pesquisa documental inserida em um projeto mais amplo sobre o estado da arte da pesquisa em EA no Brasil — Projeto EArte. Os trabalhos analisados foram selecionados no Banco de Teses E Dissertações disponível no site desse projeto —www.earte.net. As análises foram orientadas pelos referenciais teórico-metodológicos associados à perspectiva histórico cultural e à perspectiva bakhtiniana. Os dados apresentados neste artigo referem-se às análises das teses e dissertações que exploraram processos educativos envolvendo conflitos socioambientais, associados à ideia de “participação” e “participação e cidadania”. As análises nos permitiram considerar que a promoção da participação e o exercício da cidadania tem sido entendidos como tarefas desafiadoras para os educadores ambientais. Neste contexto, os conflitos socioambientais passam a ser considerados como princípio orientador de propostas e práticas em EA na perspectiva crítica, pautadas no diálogo entre saberes, potencialmente capazes de promover a superação da “semiformação” dos sujeitos.

Darío, F. Sarmiento, Máximo Gorki y la “Biblioteca de La Nación”
Authors: Schmigalle Günther
Published: February 2021

During the years 1901-1902 Rubén Darío employed a translator, F. Sarmiento, to help him with his tasks as director, in Paris, of the “Biblioteca de La Nación”, a collection of novels translated from the French and published in Buenos Aires. Seven letters from Sarmiento to Darío, conserved in the Archivo Rubén Darío at Madrid, shed some light on this little-known episode of Darío’s biography and on the translation of Gorky’s novel Foma Gordeyev.
Rubén Darío, lector de Almafuerte
Authors:   Universidad de Buenos Aires, Schnirmajer Ariela Érica ,   Universidad Nacional de San Martín,   Universidad Nacional Arturo Jauretche
Published: February 2021

In 1896, Darío published one of his most important books in Buenos Aires: Los Raros, an article collection about the writers that most interested him. Through them, he revealed his belief system, based on the cultural heroes who, from his point of view, founded the roots of modern tradition. In this article we focus on a “raro” who didn´t enter Los Raros: Pedro Bonifacio Palacios, known by his pseudonym Almafuerte. Despite the distances between Darío’s poetic proposals in his stay in Buenos Aires and Almafuerte’s profile, close to social romanticism and to a “vociferous” tone, the Nicaraguan author considered him a precursor. The investigation unravels the reasons for these postulates in two journalistic articles published in La Nación of Buenos Aires in 1895. We propose that Darío places Almafuerte on the new poetry path. To do this, he leads to the figure of the oxymoron, in which he tries to sharp the edges that distance Almafuerte’s poetics from his, and brings him closer to the defense of art professionalization. Simultaneously, Darío adopts the imprecating tone of the poet from Buenos Aires.

Evaluación y control. La formación del profesor de Educación Física en la burocracia moderna. El proceso de clasificación y estratificación del Estado = Evaluation and control. Physical Education in the process of classification and stratification of the modern bureaucracy
Authors: Hours Germán
Published: February 2021

La evaluación tiene un papel definitorio en la formación profesional de cualquier carrera y la Educación Física no es la excepción. El valor que se le otorga en los trayectos formativos debe ser sometido a análisis verdaderamente críticos, que consideren sus estatutos fundamentales sostenidos bajo esa impronta que ha legitimado incontables mecanismos de gobierno, que han limitado categóricamente los márgenes de manifestación de la sociedad en su totalidad. Desde esta perspectiva, se han establecido incontables y diversos procesos de cuantificación, bajo el nombre de evaluación, operando en nombre del tan proclamado progreso, pero que no han hecho más que reforzar permanentemente el poder coercitivo de las tecnologías gubernamentales en las democracias occidentales, pero, como se podrá observar en el siguiente texto, definidas hacia el desarrollo de las libertades más avanzadas, instituyendo el condicionamiento de ser siempre, y casi exclusivamente, posibles de ser resueltas por el propio accionar del ser humano. AbstractThe evaluation has a defining role in the professional training of any career, and Physical Education is no exception. The value that is given to it in the formative paths must be subjected to truly criticalanalyzes, which consider its fundamental statutes, under that imprint that has legitimized countless mechanisms of government, which have categorically limited the margins of manifestation of society asa whole. From this perspective, countless and diverse quantification processes have been established, under the name of evaluation, operating in the name of such proclaimed progress, but that have onlypermanently reinforced the coercive power of government technologies in Western democracies, but, as can be seen in the following text, defined towards the development of the most advanced freedoms,instituting the conditioning of being always, and almost exclusively, possible to be resolved by the human being's own actions.

Diferentes concentrações de ácido naftalenoacético no estabelecimento in vitro de mandioca
Authors: Martins Eyllen Serrão Martins , Costa Tanara Pletsch Dalla , Freitas Sia Eliandra de , Rodrigues Rogério Rangel
Published: February 2021

A cultura da mandioca apresenta alta relevância socioeconômica para o Brasil. Entretanto, na região Oeste do Pará, a disseminação de pragas e doenças, entre outros fatores, tem limitado a produção de raízes. Desta forma, a micropropagação torna-se uma alternativa aos métodos tradicionais de cultivo para a obtenção de material com qualidade fitossanitária. Objetivou-se neste estudovaliar o efeito de diferentes concentrações de ácido naftalenoacético (ANA) no estabelecimento in vitro de ápices caulinares de mandioca da variedade Água Morna. Os ápices caulinares foram introduzidos em meio MS, suplementado com 0,04 mg L‑1 de 6-benzilaminopurina, 0,05 mg L‑1 de ácido giberélico e diferentes concentrações de ANA (0,00 mg L-1; 0,01 mg L-1; 0,02 mg L‑1 e 0,03 mg L-1). O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado, com cinco tratamentos, contendo cinco repetições de cinco tubos cada. Ao longo de 30 dias, avaliou-se a altura das plântulas, número de folhas verdes e mortas, números de raízes e o comprimento da maior raiz. As plântulas apresentaram valores médios de 1,51 cm de altura, 1,51 folhas verdes, 1,67 raízes e 1,31 cm de comprimento da maior raiz. O tratamento controle proporcionou o menor número de folhas mortas, cuja média foi de 0,52 folhas. Não houve diferenças significativas entre as concentrações de ANA para as demais variáveis analisadas, exceto para número de folhas mortas. Portanto, o estabelecimento in vitro da mandioca variedade Água Morna foi eficiente em todos os tratamentos, podendo o meio de cultura isento de reguladores de crescimento ser empregado.
How Can We Mitigate Power Imbalances in Collaborative Environmental Governance? Examining the Role of the Village Facilitation Team Approach Observed in West Kalimantan, Indonesia
Authors: Arai Yuki , . Maswadi , Oktoriana Shenny , Suharyani Anita , . Didik , Inoue Makoto
Published: February 2021

Researchers have focused on collaborative governance as an effective measure to realise sustainable natural resource management through the participation of various stakeholders. However, the literature has indicated that issues such as power imbalances tend to undermine the effectiveness of collaborative governance. Powerful actors represented by the government tend to control collaborative processes and produce benefits for dominant groups, while less empowered local communities are often deprived of opportunities for livelihood improvement. Although numerous researchers have analysed the key factors that influence the processes and outcomes of collaborative governance, few have identified a concrete measure to reduce the risk of failure, particularly when managing power imbalances in developing countries. This study explored a methodology to address the power imbalances in collaborative governance based on a case study of a participatory peatland fire prevention project implemented in West Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. Semi-structured interviews and questionnaire surveys conducted with project participants suggested that measures such as establishing a joint team of government officers and villagers, providing a common facilitation training programme, training villagers as facilitators, promoting equal knowledge sharing, and allowing villagers to make their own decisions mitigated the power imbalances between the two groups.
COVID-19 as a Trigger for Sustainable Tourism and Eco-Influencers on Twitter
Authors: Caldevilla-Domínguez David , Barrientos-Báez Almudena , Padilla-Castillo Graciela
Published: February 2021

The social confinement resulting from the COVID-19 crisis temporarily reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Although experts consider that the decrease in pollution rates was not drastic, some surveys detect a growth in social concern about the climate. In this environment, institutions, city councils and companies have promoted sustainable tourism as a necessary option, even before world society regains freedom of movement. This work analyzes and geolocates the sustainable tourism and ecotourism proposals on Twitter, quantitatively and qualitatively, using the Twitonomy Premium tool, with data extracted at the end of December 2020. The results show an arduous activity in Ireland, Kenya, Sri Lanka, India, Croatia, Spain, Finland, France, Mexico and Pakistan, among others. The accounts that achieve the most impact and engagement are both from public institutions and influencers specialized in travel, writers and chefs, who act as eco-influencers. Ecotourism is promoted as the necessary option for the conservation of cities and landscapes, which will be visited by tourists supposedly more aware after the virus.
A Comparison of Single-Entry and Multiple-Entry Casing Impingement Manifolds for Active Thermal Tip Clearance Control
Authors: Dhopade Priyanka , Kirollos Benjamin , Ireland Peter , Lewis Leo
Published: February 2021

In this paper, we investigate the aerothermal performance of active clearance control (ACC) methods that use impingement as a means of enhancing heat transfer. We describe a numerical approach to compare the aerothermal performance of two circumferential impingement manifold supply designs that vary in the number of entry points to the manifold channel. For a 180°-sector, the first design has a single entry point, while the second has two. Both the single-entry and multiple-entry systems analysed in this paper are idealised version of ACC systems in current production engines. Aerothermal performance is quantitatively assessed on the basis of the HTC distribution, driving temperature difference for heat transfer between the jet and casing wall, and total pressure loss within the HPT ACC system. We conclude key advantages and disadvantages of each system based on the impact on engine efficiency, response time, ease of optimisation and implications for weight, cost and complexity of the design.

Published: February 2021

There are several literatures that cover different views of crustacean food, feeding and behavior aspects, but little was known on its interaction between them and it's also shown a different perspective. Thus, a better understanding of the interactions between food, feeding and diets in crustaceans is vital for developing better quality of seed or broodstock produced in hatchery and its adaptation to the aquaculture environment and system. The aim of the present review is to update the state of the art and to explicit the knowledge regarding food, feeding and diets in crustaceans and challenges and opportunities in the development of formulated diets.
Excess Winter Mortality (EWM) as a Dynamic Forensic Tool: Where, When, Which Conditions, Gender, Ethnicity and Age
Authors: Jones Rodney P
Published: February 2021

(1) Background: To investigate the dynamic issues behind international variation in EWM. (2) A rolling EWM calculation is used to reveal seasonal changes in the EWM calculation and is especially relevant nearer to the equator. (3) Results: In addition to latitude country specific factors determine EWM. Females generally show higher EWM mainly due to respiratory conditions. The EWM for respiratory conditions in England and Wales ranges from 44% to 83% which is about double the all-cause mortality equivalent. Age has a profound effect on EWM with a peak in puberty and then increasing EWM at old age. The gap between male and female EWM seems to act as a diagnostic tool reflecting the infectious/metrological mix in each winter. Additional difference due to ethnicity are also observed. An EWM equivalent calculation for sickness absence demonstrates how additional health-related variables can be linked to EWM. (4) Conclusions: EWM does not reach a peak at the same time each year, especially so in the tropics. Countries midway between the equator and the poles show highest EWM. Differences between the genders are highly significant and seem to vary according to the mix of variables active each winter. Pandemic influenza does not elevate EWM, although seasonal influenza plays a part each winter.
The Top 100 Most Cited Articles Published in Dentistry: 2020 Update
Authors: Asiri Faris Yahya , Kruger Estie , Tennant Marc
Published: February 2021

This bibliometric review is aimed to analyze the top 100 most-cited publications in dentistry and to compare its outcomes with similar analysis done by Feijoo et al., [1]. A literature search was performed using the Elsevier's Scopus without any restriction of language, publication year or study design. Of 336381 articles, the top 100 were included based on their citation count which ranged from 638 to 4728 citations (Feijoo et al., 326 to 2050). Most productive decade was the 2000s with 40 articles on the list (Feijoo et al., 1980s: 26). Marx RE (7%) was the major contributor in this study (Feijoo et al., Socransky SS: 9%) and a whopping 48% articles generated from the USA. 26% of top 100 articles focused periodontology (Feijoo et al., periodontology: 43%), while 17% of the total were published in the Journal of Dental Research (Feijoo et al., Journal of Clinical Periodontology: 20%). Most of the publications were narrative reviews/expert opinion (36%), (Feijoo et al., case series: 22%) and were within the evidence level V (64%) (Feijoo et al., 54%). The citation count that a paper secures is not necessarily a reflection of research's quality, however, the current analysis provides latest citation trends in dentistry.

Published: February 2021

The work focused on the development of high-temperature electrical insulation coatings for film photovoltaics. The idea was into replacing the electroconductive metal dispersed phase in siloxane high-temperature coating to ceramic particles with phonon thermal conductivity. The slurry of industrial composition based on polysiloxane lacquer and thermally conductive paste containing zinc oxide was centrifuged to obtain a thin, optically transparent coating with the destruction temperature of over 600 °C. Topology, electrical properties, and thermal conductivity of the resulting film were investigated. The mathematical model of thermal processes in films in the course of heating was figured out. Quantitatively the relation of thermal conductivities of a control sample and a sample with a heat-conducting filler was established. The effectiveness of using this technology is shown.
Predicting Global Ship Demolition Using Machine Learning Approach
Authors: Rahman SM Mizanur
Published: February 2021

Abstract:Global ship demolition is mostly concentrated in south Asian countries, namely Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and China, since 1990’s, having competitive advantage for their high natural tide, and low environmental and social costs. Due to high social and environmental externalities, stakeholders increase monitoring of the externalities and continue to prescribe improvement towards sustainability, which put pressures on profitability and competitiveness. As a consequence, also seen in the past, a leakage effect may emerge, leading to shift of this activity to a region, with relatively less monitored and less stricter on social and environmental impacts. Unfortunately, the leakage effect is never predicted in shipbreaking in order to understand the level of push compatible in the given socio-economic contexts. In this study, we have attempted to predict the future ship demolition landscape, applying machine learning technique to 34,531 in-service vessels worldwide, larger than 500 gross tonnage (GT), which is run against a learning model based on 3500 demolished vessels from 2014. This study shows that redistribution may occur among the top recycling nations: India may emerge out to be a dominant player in shipbreaking, surpassing Bangladesh by a margin of two-fold, while Pakistan and China are in decreasing trend. In addition, the leakage effect is observed, in that Vietnam is predicted to be the fourth largest ship demolition country, while China and Pakistan recede from the third and fourth place to 6th and 8th. Turkey is predicted to advance from fifth position to third position by vessel count but stays same in term of total GT dismantled. Although it is not clear if any leakage is to be observed in the near future, this study may be a model for future predictive analytics and help stakeholders take evidence-based business decisions.
Spectral X-ray CT for Fast NDT Using Discrete Tomography
Authors: Kamilis D. , Lee S. , Desjardins J. , Polydorides N.
Published: February 2021

We present progress in fast, high-resolution imaging, material classification, and fault detection using hyperspectral X-ray measurements. Classical X-ray CT approaches rely on data from many projection angles, resulting in long acquisition and reconstruction times. Additionally, conventional CT cannot distinguish between materials with similar densities. However, in additive manufacturing, the majority of materials used are known a priori. This knowledge allows to vastly reduce the data collected and increase the accuracy of fault detection. In this context, we propose an imaging method for non-destructive testing of materials based on the combination of spectral X-ray CT and discrete tomography. We explore the use of spectral X-ray attenuation models and measurements to recover the characteristic functions of materials in heterogeneous media with piece-wise uniform composition. We show by means of numerical simulation that using spectral measurements from a small number of angles, our approach can alleviate the typical deterioration of spatial resolution and the appearance of streaking artifacts.

Environmental problems cause threats to environmental sustainability. This problem can be caused by deviant behavior towards environmental preservation or counterproductive behavior. This study aims to determine the influence of school climate and persistence on counterproductive behavior student related to environmental sustainability. The method used is a survey method through causal studies and analyzed by path analysis. The survey was conducted on 70 students at SMAN 48 Jakarta in the odd semester of the 2020/2021 school year. The calculation result of the instrument reliability coefficient is counterproductive behavior 0.782, the school climate is 0.850, and the persistence is 0.917 which indicates that the three instruments can be trusted. The results showed that school climate directly affected persistence significantly, persistence directly affected counterproductive behavior significantly, school climate directly affected counterproductive behavior significantly, and obtained good persistence results as a mediator variable between school climate and counterproductive behavior in students. Therefore, in an effort to reduce counterproductive behavior student, school climate and student persistence factors also need to be considered.

The environmental responsibility behavior that students have is the result of interactions between various factors, is the paradigm and sensitivity of students to the environment. Students can have environmental responsibility behavior if the students' paradigm and sensitivity to the environment are good. The environmental responsibility behavior that students have is the result of interactions between various factors, is the paradigm and sensitivity of students to the environment. Students can have environmental responsibility behavior if the students' paradigm and sensitivity to the environment are good. The effect of paradigms and environmental sensitivity has an important role in raising student responsibility behavior towards the environment. This study aims to investigate the effect of New Environmental Paradigm and Environmental Sensitivity of the responsible environmental behavior. Research conducted at SMAN 100 Jakarta on the Semester I of 2018/2019 school year. The method used is survey with quantitative-causal approach and path analysis.

Background:

Although epidural steroid injection (ESI) may provide pain relief for patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis in treatment regimens of up to 4 months, it remains unclear whether ESI affects crossover from nonoperative to operative management.

Methods:

This retrospective cohort study analyzed 2 groups of surgical candidates with degenerative spondylolisthesis: those who received ESI within 3 months after enrollment (ESI group) and those who did not (no-ESI group). Annual outcomes following enrollment were assessed within operative and nonoperative groups (patients who initially chose or were assigned to surgery or nonoperative treatment) by using longitudinal mixed-effect models with a random subject intercept term accounting for correlations between repeated measurements. Treatment comparisons were performed at follow-up intervals. Area-under-the-curve analysis for all time points assessed the global significance of treatment.

Results:

The study included 192 patients in the no-ESI group and 74 in the ESI group. The no-ESI group had greater baseline Short Form-36 (SF-36) Bodily Pain scores (median, 35 versus 32) and self-reported preference for surgery (38% versus 11%). There were no differences in surgical rates within 4 years after enrollment between the no-ESI and ESI groups (61% versus 62%). The surgical ESI and no-ESI groups also showed no differences in changes in patient-reported outcomes at any follow-up interval or in the 4-year average. Compared with the nonoperative ESI group, the nonoperative no-ESI group showed greater improvements in SF-36 scores for Bodily Pain (p = 0.004) and Physical Function (p = 0.005) at 4 years, Bodily Pain at 1 year (p = 0.002) and 3 years (p = 0.005), and Physical Function at 1 year (p = 0.030) and 2 years (p = 0.002). Of the patients who were initially treated nonsurgically, those who received ESI and those who did not receive ESI did not differ with regard to surgical crossover rates. The rates of crossover to nonoperative treatment by patients who initially chose or were assigned to surgery also did not differ between the ESI and no-ESI groups.

Conclusions:

There was no relationship between ESI and improved clinical outcomes over a 4-year study period for patients who chose or were assigned to receive surgery for degenerative spondylolisthesis. In the nonsurgical group, ESI was associated with inferior pain reduction through 3 years, although this was confounded by greater baseline pain. ESI showed little relationship with surgical crossover.

El conocimiento sobre el inicio de la pubertad y la maduración sexual en una raza o biotipo de animal doméstico constituye una herramienta necesaria para realizar un correcto manejo reproductivo. Los machos caprinos de diferentes razas presentan variación en el inicio de su actividad reproductiva. En 33 cabritos Criollos de la provincia del Neuquén, manejados en condiciones extensivas de producción (Lat. 41o 02' S Long. 70o 34' O), durante los meses de abril a julio (180-270 días de edad) se determinó la ruptura de la membrana prepucial y la capacidad de copulación, mediante su permanencia durante 10 minutos con cuatro hembras caprinas inducidas en estro mediante tratamiento hormonal. Durante los meses de abril a julio las tasas mensuales de cabritos que presentaron ruptura de su membrana prepucial y capacidad de copulación fueron 69,6; 78,3; 78,3; 82,6% y 18,7; 50; 61,1; 63,1% respectivamente. Para este período, los pesos vivos y circunferencias testiculares medias mensuales fueron 17,3 ± 0,07; 19,7 ± 0,07; 19,2 ± 0,06; 17,8 ± 0,06 kg y 16,5 ± 0,08; 16,7 ± 0,08; 17,6 ± 0,08; 17,2 ± 0,07 cm, respectivamente. Se determinó mensualmente que los cabritos sin membrana prepucial presentaron valores medios significativamente mayores en su peso vivo y circunferencia testicular con respecto a los cabritos con membrana prepucial. Asimismo, los cabritos con capacidad copulatoria tuvieron valores medios significativamente mayores en peso vivo y circunferencia testicular con respecto a los cabritos sin capacidad copulatoria. Se concluye que los cabritos Criollos Neuquinos presentan una ruptura progresiva de su membrana prepucial y un incremento en su capacidad copulatoria durante su primera estación reproductiva. El desarrollo sexual se presenta como un proceso gradual y estaría considerablemente asociado al peso vivo y a la circunferencia testicular.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o número de folículos por punção folicular (PF), a quantidade e a qualidade de ovócitos oriundos de vacas com diferentes níveis séricos de colesterol. Para a realização deste experimento foram utilizadas 5 vacas mestiças. Antes do início do experimento, todas as vacas receberam por 8 dias um dispositivo intravaginal liberador de progesterona e dois dias antes da retirada dos dispositivos todas as vacas receberam 0,150 mg de d-cloprostenol. As sessões de PF ocorreram a cada 4 dias, totalizando 6 sessões. Os animais receberam 0,150 mg de d-cloprostenol a cada 8 dias, juntamente com a troca dos dispositivos. Após avaliação do nível sérico de colesterol, as vacas foram divididas em dois grupos: G1 (colesterol50 mg/dl). Foi registrado uma diferença (p0,05) no número de ovócitos coletados e na qualidade dos mesmos. Verificou-se que vacas com níveis de colesterol superior à 50 mg/dl apresentaram um maior número de folículos aptos à punção.

Ecuador es un país con una elevada biodiversidad de recursos genéticos animales de interés agroalimentario, aunque la información científica sobre ellos es escasa. En este trabajo se aborda el estudio de la diversidad genética de los cerdos Criollos de la Zona de Planificación Cinco de Ecuador, conformada por las provincias de Bolívar, Guayas, Los Ríos y Santa Elena, en donde este cerdo juega un papel fundamental en las comunidades campesinas como la principal fuente de proteína de la unidad familiar y, como una fuente de ingresos complementarios en sistemas de producción tradicionales. Se analizan 90 muestras con 25 microsatélites recomendados por la FAO para estudios de diversidad genética porcina y se calculan los parámetros básicos de variabilidad genética (número medio de alelos, número efectivo de alelos, heterocigosis, PIC y coeficiente FIS). Se calculan las distancias genéticas DSA y se construye un dendrograma de distancias entre individuos. Los cerdos Criollos de Ecuador estudiados presentan una elevada diversidad genética intra-racial, no se desvían significativamente del Equilibrio de Hardy-Weinberg. No se detecta diferenciación genética entre los cerdos muestreados en las diferentes provincias por lo que se podría gestionar como una sola población.
