Authors: OVAYOLU Ali , GÜN İsmet , BENK ŞİLFELER Dilek , KUTLU Tayfun
Published: September 2019

Objective: We aimed to demonstrate any possible relationship between endometrial thickness on the day of hCG trigger and live birth rates (LBRs) among women with unexplained infertility who underwent IVF/ICSI-ET cycles. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively collected data from Zeynep Kamil Women's and Children's Disease Training and Research Hospital, IVF Center archive. Cases between 2005 and 2013 were collected. Women aged between 23-39 years with a BMI <30 kg/m2 with fresh embryo transfers were included. Patients were divided into two groups based on their livebirth status (live birth: group 1, no live birth: group 2). Demographic characteristics, treatment regimens, and endometrial thickness on the day of hCG trigger were compared between the two groups. In addition, patients were divided into subgroups according to the endometrial thickness on the day of hCG trigger (≤7 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm, 10 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm, 13 mm, and ≥14 mm, respectively). LBRs were compared between these subgroups. Results:  Three hundred fifty-nine cycles (group 1: n=104, group 2: n=255) were included for statistical analysis. Other than estradiol level (pg/mL) on the day of hCG trigger (2517.2±1106.0, 2210.8±991.7, respectively; p=0.011), there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups. Among the subgroups based on endometrial thickness, the highest LBR was detected in the 13 mm subgroup (36.8%) and lowest LBR was detected in 12 mm subgroup (23.9%). However, LBRs were not statistically significant between the subgroups. Conclusion: LBRs do not seem to be affected by endometrial thickness on the day of hCG trigger among couples with unexplained infertility.
Adult Vocational Qualifications Reduce the Social Gradient in Education

Published: September 2019

Many youth leave school early without an upper secondary education, impeding their chances in the labor market. Early school leavers come disproportionately from families with low parental education. In some countries, there are alternative routes to upper secondary qualifications as adults. Does adult attainment reduce initial social differences in educational attainment, or does it reinforce such differences? Norway is one of the countries where many attain upper secondary qualifications in adulthood. Using individual data from administrative registers, we follow five Norwegian birth cohorts (1973–1977) from age 20 to 40. We document that the association between parental education and upper secondary completion declines monotonically with age, ending at age 40 about 35% below that at age 20. We also document that the alternative routes to adult qualifications recruit students of different family backgrounds. In particular, adults who acquire vocational qualifications via the experience-based route come from families with lower education than other groups. Our evidence suggests that institutions that offer opportunities for certifying qualifications acquired at work mitigate social gradients, fostering more equal opportunities within the education system.

Published: September 2019

Background. Borderline ovarian tumors (BOT), due to their unclear biological potential, remain a problem for oncogynecologists. On the one hand, frequent recurrences of tumors, and on the other hand, a high survival rate in the diagnosis of patients requires careful weighing of all risk factors when choosing surgical intervention tactics in patients with BOT. A large number of recurrences of BOT in patients of fertile age lead to disability of patients, deterioration of their quality of life and loss of reproductive function.

Objective: evaluation of the influence of clinical and morphological factors (the presence of non-invasive implants, bilateral lesion of the ovaries, the presence of psammous bodies and malignization tricks) and surgical factors (damage to the cyst capsule and carrying out fertility preserving operations) on the recurrence of BOT in various age groups.

Materials and methods. The material for the study was the protocols of an in vivo pathoanatomical study of a biopsy (surgical) material obtained from patients with a diagnosis of BOT for the period from 2000 to 2017 inclusive, according to the Regional Forensic Medical Bureau of Kursk. A total of 110 protocols for the first occurrence of BOT and 14 protocols for the tumor recurrences were analyzed. The age of patients undergoing an in vivo pathologic examination ranged from 19 to 75 years.

Results and conclusions. It has been revealed that psammous bodies, fertility preserving operations and reproductive age are associated with tumor recurrence. Groups of patients with foci of malignancy and bilateral lesions have a lower risk of BOT recurrence due to the radical surgical treatment tactics and possibly the use of chemotherapy in the first case. Non-invasive implants are not associated with the risk of BOT recurrence.

Published: September 2019

Primary retroperitoneal cysts are rare benign growths that are often random findings during diagnostic examinations or surgical treatment. The classification, etiology and clinical manifestations of retroperitoneal cysts are the subject of interdisciplinary debate. The most reliable test for their detection is ultrasound and computed tomography. Based on the available literature data, primary cysts of the retroperitoneal space are subject to complete removal within healthy tissues.

We present a clinical case of intraoperative detection of a large-sized retroperitoneal cyst in a 42-year-old woman hospitalized in the gynecological department of the Federal Research and Clinical Center for Specialized Medical Care and Medical Technologies, Federal Medical and Biological Agency of the Russian Federation, for surgical treatment of uterine myoma. During the planned surgical treatment revealed the presence of cystic formation of large sizes in the right anterior pararenal space. The final diagnosis was made after a pathological examination. Histologically, the inner epithelial lining of the cystic formation contained multiple ciliary cells, forming papillary structures similar in some areas, with folds of the mucous membrane of the fallopian tube.
An Examination of 3D Printing in Dentistry - A Study
Authors: CİRAK Bekir
Published: September 2019

This study examines the design
and production processes of a small molar tooth produced with a 3D printer.
When designing the exercises, polygons and parabolic forms were used as output
points. These forms, which are rendered in three dimensions in the computer
environment, are formed taking into consideration the structural
characteristics of the production material. PLA (Polylactic Acid )
material is used in this design which is produced in three dimensional printer
by FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling)  method. In the scope of the study, the
conditions experienced in the design of the material used were mentioned and
the material mistake was given during printing. The different effects of the
commands used in the design process on the production surfaces, as well as
voluntary or involuntary faults, are very important in the formation of some
deformations and are caused by the plastic nature of the material. In addition,
the effects of PLA on the surface of the faults are investigated. However,
different methods applied in the production of sole parts and surfaces have
been evaluated.

Testicular cancer is a rare malignant tumor. In the structure of general cancer incidence, this nosology accounts for about 1–1.5% of cases. Among this pathology, about 90–95% is due to testicular germ cell tumors. Currently, testicular cancer is a potentially treatable solid tumor with a 10-year survival rate of more than 95% upon timely diagnosis and proper treatment. In this regard, early diagnosis and treatment of this pathology is an urgent task today. The article presents a clinical observation of the treatment of a patient with a testicular germ cell tumor. The presented clinical case demonstrates the successful conduct of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and further orchifuniculectomy in the presence of distant metastases namely in case of a non-seminomic form of a testicular germ cell tumor. The approach to treating patients with testicular tumors must be individualized and take into account both the potential gain and the potential risks of the treatment being performed.

Published: September 2019

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a lethal malignant tumor characterized by a rapid progression, invasiveness and resistance to radiochemotherapy. The development of biomarkers for the early diagnosis of the disease is relevant. Angiogenesis has been identified as a key factor in a number of pathological conditions, including cancer. The proangiogenic signaling molecule – vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors play a central role in tumor angiogenesis. In this review, we also highlight the dual role of growth factor-β (TGF-β) and touch upon the prospects for therapeutic effects on targets associated with TGF-β signaling in pancreatic cancer. A growing interest is attracted to the role of insulin-like growth factors IGF-I and IGF-II in cancer diseases. IGF-I and its receptor are highly expressed on the surface of pancreatic cancer cell lines that initiate the transduction of intracellular signals associated with the proliferation, invasion and expression of angiogenesis mediators. And so, the study of markers and growth factors may be a new, viable option for the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer.
INGUINAL HERNIA REPAIR AND MALE HEALTH
Authors: Kulchenko N. G.
Published: September 2019

Inguinal hernia is a common disease affecting about 5-10% of the population. About 370 000 inguinal hernia repair per year is registered in Russia. Surgeons have reduced recurrence of hernias to a minimum after the widespread introduction of non-tension hernia repair. However, today other complications of inguinal hernias have become prevalent: infection, pain and paresthesia in the scrotum, pathospermia. Opinion about the negative impact on spermatogenesis of both herniation and surgery for hernia is still controversial. This article provides an overview of modern foreign and Russian literature on the аssociation of different types of inguinal hernia repair with pathospermia.
A estigmatização do criminoso sob a perspectiva da criminologia crítica: a seletividade do sistema na abordagem do Labelling Approach e a da inibição reintegradora
Authors: Tanferri Andressa Silveira , Giacoia Gilberto
Published: September 2019

No direito penal sancionador é possível verificar um descompasso entre a sua interpretação e aplicação e os preceitos de justiça igualitária legalmente previstos, o que ocorre principalmente em razão da seletividade do sistema punitivo, influenciado por construções sociais quanto ao perfil do criminoso. O objetivo do presente trabalho é demonstrar como o processo de estigmatização é determinante para a seletividade na aplicação das normas penais, por intermédio da análise dos comportamentos desviantes e das abordagens criminológicas sobre a temática. O método utilizado é o dedutivo, com técnica de revisão bibliográfica e documental. Conclui-se, após a análise do estudo, que os fatores estigmatizantes estão enraizados na sociedade, nas normas e na atuação do Estado, assim, os efeitos da rotulação implicam diretamente na marginalização do sujeito e, consequentemente, refletem no perfil da população carcerária brasileira.
A saúde como um sistema social: do risco da inefetividade à judicialização excessiva em matéria de medicamentos
Authors: Sturza Janaína Machado , Leves Aline Michele Pedron , Cavalheiro Andressa Simmi
Published: September 2019

A sociedade se diferencia a partir dos seus processos evolutivos e das comunicações internas entre os sistemas que a compõe. Pensar na saúde como um sistema social consiste em uma importante questão para a construção de uma sociedade mais digna, pois as decisões a seu respeito contemplam um risco intrínseco na atualidade, sobretudo, no que concerne à inefetividade da proteção desse direito humano fundamental e ao excesso de judicialização em matéria de medicamentos. Desse modo, este artigo tem como objetivo contextualizar e analisar, por meio do método hipotético-dedutivo e da pesquisa bibliográfica, a temática do direito à saúde na sociedade contemporânea, a partir de uma abordagem sistêmica que rompe com os pressupostos tradicionais das ciências sociais, tendo como base de estudo e argumentação a teoria dos sistemas de Niklas Luhmann. A problemática reside na lacuna da inadequação organizacional da aplicação do direito à saúde frente às necessidades atuais. Como resultado, nota-se que a saúde pode ser analisada como um sistema social, permitindo-se reconhecer a sua complexidade e relação com o sistema jurídico. Portanto, conclui-se que a saúde, essencialmente no que se refere aos vínculos existentes entre o acesso à justiça para a obtenção de medicamentos e à efetividade da proteção desse direito em defesa da dignidade da pessoa humana, é um processo sistêmico que apresenta uma dimensão social e jurídica que deve ir além da cura e da prevenção de enfermidades, alcançando e proporcionando uma condizente qualidade de vida para os indivíduos que necessitam se adaptar à hipercomplexidade da sociedade contemporânea.

Outstanding Atlantic nature and culture for UNESCO World Heritage List: transhumance/trasterminance landscape of Somiedo and Royal Way of La Mesa (Asturian Massif, NW of Spain)
Authors: Rodríguez C. , Sevilla J. , Obeso Í.
Published: September 2019

A change in the attitude of society towards nature and landscape (first established in the intellectual sphere and later adopted by institutions and other agents) operates in the evolution of the notion of heritage so that a territorial dimension of this concept emerges. Its consolidation is slow, both in the generalization of actions and in the conceptualization: it finds pioneering manifestations in the second half of the 19th century and is considered to be widespread since UNESCO’s Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Heritage, held in Paris in 1972. The later addition of the cultural landscape figure in the actions by this organization (1992) and the possibility of including mountain areas as World Heritage in a mixed natural-cultural type have stimulated the elaboration of this study. The purpose is to provide keys for the characterization and qualification of a mountain area already considered as a possible candidate in the UNESCO tentative list (Somiedo, NW of Spain) in order to highlight its potential as Word Heritage. Research in this sector is also presented as a test for the development of a model that could serve as a complement for candidacies in other mountain regions with profiles or categories related to the one analyzed here: transhumance and/or trasterminance landscape in Atlantic mountains. The adequacy of Somiedo, particularly Saliencia Valley and Royal Way of La Mesa (somedan strecht) as a linked centennial itinerary, is justified by the diversity of UNESCO criteria that can be met, reflecting the diversity of outstanding features associated with natural and cultural elements and phenomena. The result could be the starting point for a further task: the formulation of concrete measures for the preservation of fundamental material and immaterial elements and the conception of an integral management program.

Published: September 2019

Dentigerous cyst is a cyst that encapsulates enamel of the unerupted tooth, thus causing the tooth become unable to complete the eruption process. This cyst is defined as a developmental cyst as it generally occurs in first until the third decades of life. Dentigerous cyst commonly affect the mandibular area of the teeth. This article describes the case of a young patient with dentigerous cyst which affect maxillary canine. A 6-year-old girl was admitted to Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Clinic at Mangusada Hospital Bali with facial asymmetry on her right cheek, noticed since the past one week. She got some medicines from the general physician, but there was no improvement. From the CT scan, we found a solitary mass on the size of 3 x 3.2 x 3.6 cm on the right maxillary area. Enucleation was done and the Caldwell-Luc approach was performed under general anesthesia. The cyst revealed to have an ectopic maxillary canine inside. The cyst and ectopic tooth were extracted from the pathological site and the incisional specimens were sent for histopathological examination. The result revealed a cyst lined by non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium without any malignancy. She had antibiotics therapy post-surgery, and her symptoms were resolved within a week. In one month follow up, there was no sign of recurrence.

 This study was to detect the hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA copies in patients through blood transfusions; recessive carriers with HBsAg negative but HBV DNA positive were further studied to see the content and distribution of HBV in patients, and provide evidence for the clinical treatment. A total of 532 blood samples collected from July 2014 to July 2015 were tested for HBV-DNA viral load and hepatitis B serological markers using quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) and serologic test (five serological markers of hepatitis B). The results showed that, 3 cases were HBV serology negative and the HBV-DNA viral load was in the range of 250-500 whereas only 1 case was HBsAb positive and the HBV-DNA viral load was above 500. qPCR, for detecting HBV DNA, together with serological routine test can effectively reduce HBV infection during transfusion and prevent medical disputes.
Numerical optimization of the mixing flow in a straight tube, single, and two loops helical coil
Authors: Abdul-Majeed Wameath Shawqi
Published: September 2019

A great interest of using curved pipes was shown in the industrial applications due to many advantages such as developed agitation which could be obtained as an alternative to the conventional agitation at lower energy consumption and reduced cost. A computational investigation was conducted in this study to contemplate on the enhancement occur in the mixing flow upon using single and multi-loops helical coil compared with a straight tube. The objective was to optimize the number of loops in the helical coil. The computations were achieved via “Fluent software” in which 3d, second order upwind were used for all cases studied. The study consisted of four parts in which the numerical error study was conducted in the first part to optimize the grid meshing and to make sure that the results are independent of it. The effect of using the helical coil on the pressure drop was conducted in the second part. The third and fourth parts of the study were devoted to envisage the enhancement of applying the curved loops in the coil on the heat and mass transfer, respectively. The main findings of the study were limited effect of single loop coil on the heat and mass transfer processes. Better effect was depicted upon increasing the number of loops in the helical coil into 2. However, applying 2 loops has resulted in building up higher pressure drops. Moreover, the pressure drop was shown slightly higher in the case of applying water when compared with air.
Standard port placement for laparoscopic pancreatic surgery: How we do it
Authors: Mistry Jitendra H. , Haribhakti Sanjiv
Published: September 2019

Advanced laparoscopic surgeries are technically demanding, among which laparoscopic pancreatic surgeries are the most challenging. One of the technical difficulties is the improper port placement. As there is no standard port placement for laparoscopic pancreatic surgeries, it is difficult to get proper angle to work at different steps of the surgery if ports are not well placed. It is also responsible for musculoskeletal problems to the operating surgeon. Here we propose a standard port placement for laparoscopic pancreatic surgery which gives ergonomic comfort in all laparoscopic pancreatic surgeries.

Vulnerabilidade à seca e (i)mobilidade no Nordeste brasileiro: partir ou resistir?
Authors: Correia Isac Alves , Barbieri Alisson Flávio
Published: September 2019

Baseado em um survey com 1.064 domicílios do Seridó potiguar, região do semiárido nordestino, este trabalho discute como os indivíduos ajustam respostas de mobilidade ao perceberem os impactos das estiagens sobre os meios de subsistência. Nossos resultados mostram respostas usualmente de curto prazo envolvendo mobilidade cotidiana ou sazonal em relação à mudança permanente de residência. Também foi possível observar maior participação feminina nesses tipos de mobilidade, o que indica associação com o seu caráter de curta distância. Os programas sociais mostraram grande relevância nesse processo, com a possibilidade de duplo efeito: apoiando famílias sem emigrantes ou subsidiando a emigração de pelo menos um morador. Por fim, conclui-se que a migração e/ou a oferta de trabalho nos espaços urbanos foram ferramentas importantes para as famílias lidarem com o risco ambiental, o que requer instituições fortalecidas para gerenciar os potenciais impactos negativos para as regiões de destino desses indivíduos.

Authors: Zulaica María Laura
Published: September 2019

The urbanization process in Latin America has reached unprecedented levels. The need to mitigate its effects and improve cities sustainability has become a pressing challenge. In this context, the assessment of sustainability acquires an increased recognition as a diagnosis tool to advance towards the ecological, social, economic and political objectives of sustainable development. On the basis of previous studies, this paper is intended to comparatively evaluate the urban and environmental sustainability of Mar del Plata city (Argentina) and its peri-urban area. A Sustainability Index (SI) was built. The most favourable SI values were generally found in the urban area, while the most critical ones were identified in the peri-urban area. The incidence of the topics in the SI, reveals differences between the urban and peri-urban areas. The outcome is expected to strengthen policy integration for present and future generations leading to the Sustainable Development Goals at a local scale.

Published: September 2019

Brazil has always maintained a prominent position in negotiations within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, playing a major role in setting increasingly ambitious goals and encouraging consensus among Parties. With the purpose of reducing GHG emissions from the agricultural sector and disseminating and financing good agricultural practices, Brazil developed a platform of sustainable technologies and public policies, as the Low Carbon Agriculture Plan (the “ABC Plan”). This article reviews the main milestones of Brazil’s role in the international negotiation on climate change, how these factors affected the Brazilian agricultural sector between 2009 and 2018 and the authors’ personal view on this context. The objective is to provide an overview of Brazil’s actions regarding the agricultural sector which contribute to the voluntary commitment assumed by the Brazilian government at COPs 15 and 21 and to provide a critical analysis of how these actions are being implemented. The main results show that low carbon agriculture has been consolidated as the main Brazilian strategy for sustainable rural development,but it is vital for our country to continue with these actions.

CONDIÇÕES DE VIDA: UMA DAS BASES DAS PROPOSTAS DO I CONGRESSO DA INDÚSTRIA E SUA IMPORTÂNCIA PARA O PROJETO DA BURGUESIA INDUSTRIAL BRASILEIRA
Authors: Freitas Jr Moacir de
Published: September 2019

O objetivo deste trabalho é destacar a importância do tema das condições de vida para o projeto político dos industriais brasileiros de se tornarem a força hegemônica de seu tempo, tomando por base as propostas aprovadas para a economia no I Congresso Brasileiro da Indústria, de 1944. Os industriais disputaram politicamente sua ascensão e hegemonia com base em um conjunto de ideias que dotou este segmento de certa unidade política e ideológica que foram fundamentais para os resultados políticos alcançados. Tal disposição permitiu neutralizar em partes o poder do setor agrário e dos setores da burguesia não associados à ideia de um plano de desenvolvimento, bem como abriram espaço para a aproximação do proletariado, que passou a defender o projeto industrialista de desenvolvimento, vislumbrando em tal aliança um maior espaço político para defender os interesses dos trabalhadores, que naquele momento histórico lutavam por melhores condições de vida e de trabalho e também para se consolidar enquanto classe social com interesses políticos próprios. Ressalta-se o papel de Roberto Simonsen para este processo, responsável por formular e apresentar as propostas debatidas no trabalho, defendia que a pauperização precisaria ser superada, a fim de que o Brasil pudesse se estabilizar socialmente; ainda, que a pobreza só seria superada pela industrialização.
ELEMENTOS PARA CRÍTICA À TESE DE INVENÇÃO DO NORDESTE
Authors: Dos Santos Nivalter Aires
Published: September 2019

Desde a década de 1990 tem ganhado destaque a tese de que o Nordeste é uma invenção – uma produção imagético-discursiva – essa leitura foi elaborada pelo historiador Durval Muniz e está apresentada no seu livro “A Invenção do Nordeste e outras artes”. Ele parte de uma construção historiográfica foucaultiana e propõe que, a partir do discurso, alguns movimentos político-culturais criaram a região Nordeste. Diante disso, nosso objetivo é produzir uma crítica radical a esta tese. Nos amparamos teórico-metodologicamente numa leitura materialista e dialética da história, propondo a “crítica” como método de apreensão do conhecimento de caráter político e social. Para isso consultamos amplo acervo bibliográfico, contemplando além da leitura detalhada do trabalho do Durval Muniz, os interlocutores dele, a saber: Gilberto Freyre e os romancistas da geração de 30. Como resultados, indicamos que há um conjunto de fragilidades na leitura de Durval Muniz, que tendem a homogeneização do espaço regional, desconsideração de leituras importantes sobre o Nordeste, especialmente no que se refere ao tema do desenvolvimento.

Wojsko w mieście. Żołnierze Hohenzollernów w Prusach Południowych (1793–1806)
Authors: Włodarczyk Zdzisław
Published: September 2019

W wyniku II rozbioru (1793) znaczna część ziem Rzeczpospolitej Obojga Narodów znalazła się we władaniu Prus. Niezwłocznie też utworzono z nich nową prowincję – Prusy Południowe (Südpreussen). Jednym z elementów nowej rzeczywistości była obecność licznych wojskowych w przestrzeni społeczno-gospodarczej prowincji. Wiele miast i miasteczek stało się siedzibami garnizonów. Nastąpiło zetknięcie dwóch zupełnie różnych zbiorowości. Z jednej strony żołnierze, którym bardzo często towarzyszyły rodziny, z drugiej zaś „miejscowi” wtłoczeni z dnia na dzień w ramy obcych struktur administracyjnych. Kształtowała się skomplikowana sieć powiązań między cywilami a wojskowymi. Zmianie uległo oblicze etniczne wielu, zwłaszcza niewielkich ośrodków miejskich. Walorem było to, że wojsko dawało możliwość zwiększenia dochodów, choćby przez świadczone na jego rzecz usługi: sprzedaż żywności, transport, wynajem kwater, stajni, powierzchni magazynowych. Jednocześnie żołnierze, kiepsko opłacani, szukali możliwości zarobkowania, najmując się do wszelkich możliwych zajęć. Wzajemne współżycie nie było pozbawione momentów trudnych, wspólne bytowanie pod jednym dachem (żołnierskie kwatery) rodziło sytuacje zapalne. Jednak to nie one decydowały o całokształcie wzajemnych relacji – o czym świadczą świadectwa współpracy w sferze niematerialnej. Wymarsz większości garnizonów na wojnę z Francją (1806) zakończył krótki okres istnienia Prus Południowych. Jednak na opuszczonych przez Prusy terenach pozostało wielu związanych z poprzednią administracją, również wojskowych.
Walczyć czy odstąpić? Postawy i dylematy oficerów Obszarów Warownych „Grodno” i „Wilno” we wrześniu 1939 roku
Authors: Jędrzejewska Agnieszka
Published: September 2019

W sierpniu 1939 r. wszystkie jednostki Wojska Polskiego stacjonujące w Grodnie i w Wilnie zostały zmobilizowane do walki z Niemcami i odesłane na granicę zachodnią. W ten sposób oba miasta zostały pozbawione regularnych oddziałów wojska i stały się bezbronne w obliczu najazdu sowieckiego. W tej sytuacji walka i obrona obu miast skazana była na niepowodzenie, a ewakuacja na Litwę była jedynym możliwym wyjściem dla pozostałych w Grodnie i Wilnie jednostek wojska. Wielu oficerów Obszarów Warownych „Grodno” i Wilno” musiało dokonać trudnego wyboru, co niejednokrotnie wpłynęło na ich postawę w tym trudnym czasie.

Human drama in art of the blind painters Sargy Mann and John Bramblitt and in Fr. Józef Tischner’s reflections
Authors: Wołczyńska Anna
Published: September 2019

Nothing intrigues more than performing tasks that disability renders impossible. Overcoming physical limitations and mental restraints raises an interesting issue of the human creative potential broadly investigated by scientists and acutely experienced by the disabled. A cruel disease that leads to complete blindness appears even more dramatic when affects visual artists. A blind artist painter sounds an oxymoron, but the stories of Sargy Mann and John Bramblitt prove that a human being can always defy comfortable schemes. A sighted observer may be puzzled by complexity of this multipolar drama marked with painful turning points, but also, perhaps surprisingly, with a feeling of gain, sense, and reward. The artists’ personal and subjective perception of the loss inspires a discussion that presents universal values in a broader perspective. Beauty and truth, uncertainty and courage are to be found in the narrations of the artists above and the essays of a distinguished Polish philosopher Fr. Józef Tischner. The article portrays the silhouettes of the blind painters focusing on their artistic strive to a meaningful and rewarding life in the light of philosophical reflections based on the axiomatic concepts of beauty and truth.

A utilização de elementos finitos em estruturas possibilita economia e bom desempenho dos arranjos estruturais. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar o valor da carga resistente à flambagem e seu respectivo modo de falha numa seção composta por dois perfis formados a frio. A modelagem foi construída a partir da releitura de um prévio ensaio experimental de outro autor. A malha dos modelos foi construída, utilizando-se um software de análise numérica, no qual os autovalores foram obtidos com auxílio das ferramentas estática estrutural e de flambagem. Foi observado que os resultados numéricos estiveram acima dos experimentais, como é conhecido na literatura.
Vertical and lateral distribution of Foraminifera and Ostracoda in the East Frisian Wadden Sea – developing a transfer function for relative sea-level change

In light of rising sea levels and increased storm surge hazards, detailed information on relative sea-level (RSL) histories and local controlling mechanisms is required to support future projections and to better prepare for future coastal-protection challenges. This study contributes to deciphering Holocene RSL changes at the German North Sea coast in high resolution by developing a transfer function for RSL change. Recent associations of Foraminifera and Ostracoda from low intertidal to supratidal settings of the barrier island of Spiekeroog in combination with environmental parameters (granulometry, C/N, TOC, salinity) were investigated and quantified in elevation steps of 15 cm in order to generate a first transfer function (TF) of Holocene RSL change. In a future step, the TF can be applied to the stratigraphic record. Our data show a clear vertical zonation of foraminifer and ostracod taxa between the middle salt marsh and the tidal flat with very few individuals in the sand flat area, suggesting removal by the tidal current or poor preservation. Multivariate statistics identify the elevation, i.e. the inundation frequency, as main driving factor. The smallest vertical error (49 cm) is associated with an entirely new approach of combining Foraminifera and Ostracoda for a TF. Advantages of the TF over classical RSL indicators such as basal and intercalated peat – beside the relatively narrow indicative meaning – include the possible application to a wide range of intertidal facies and that it does not depend on compaction-prone peat.

This editorial paper is an introduction to the special Yuridika edition about the ‘Sustainable Market Actors for Responsible Trade’ project (SMART). SMART identifies the areas in which companies and other market players can realise their unfulfilled potential to contribute in their own way to development friendly, environmentally friendly, and socially sustainable business, trade, and investment. SMART creates more awareness on how nondevelopment policies and regulations reinforce or undermine EU development policies. The research presented in this special Yuridika edition aims to find these legal means to reduce the gap between law and reality. In this Editorial, the various contributions to this special edition of the journal Yuridika will be introduced
Electronic Active Calibration of Fluxgate Magnetometers
Authors: Cabral Gustavo , Wiermann Andre , C. C. Benyosef Luiz
Published: September 2019

Fluxgate magnetometers require calibration methods appropriate to their application levels and particularities; however the development of fully controlled calibration procedures presents a particular challenge regarding the inevitable influence of the local geomagnetic field and other external interferences when a laboratory with magnetically shielded walls is not available. In that context, we discussed the development of an automated calibration method for fluxgate magnetometers, considering those limitations in time and space, and avoiding some of the problems commonly found in other proposed solutions for the same challenge. For this task, we designed and built a new set of high level procedures, electronic systems and software, which perform active testing and automated calibration of fluxgate magnetometers, considering some resource constraints and employing instruments commonly found in electronic calibration laboratories.
Analysis on Chinese Airline Network Invulnerability

Published: September 2019

Air transportation systems are often subject to failures or attacks induced by unexpected abominable weather or temporal airspace occupation, while complex networks have been springing up as a convenient yet efficient tool to represent and analyze various realistic complex systems such as realistic airline system. In terms of Chinese airline network formed during the spring festival timespan, structural empirical research and invulnerability simulation analysis against various deliberate attack strategies were made using complex network theory, where nodes and edges denotes domestic airports and direct flights between them respectively. The analysis results indicate: The presented airline network is a small net-work with scale-free characteristics, and correlation shows remarkable hierarchical structure and obvious assortative characteristics; The network shows obvious invulnerability under deliberate node attack, while shows partly robustness under edge attack even with obvious attack effects against various attack strategies.
