Authors: Ilias Azleen , Ghani Erlane K , Baidi Nasrudin , Azhar Zubir
Published: June 2020

The Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) has established the eXensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) which is the Malaysian Business Reporting System (MBRS). This study examines the technological, organisational and environmental factors influencing the usage of MBRS among the practitioners. Using interview as the data collection among 12 respondents which are practitioners from selected Corporate Secretaries fom small medium practices (SMPs). Data from interview has analysed based on descriptive coding and pattern coding that developed by Technological, Organisational and Environmental (TOE) theory using the Atlas.ti. The findings of this study indicates seven (7) technological factors which are assurance for data quality, relative advantage and the availability of regulator’s platform and system, limited tools and software, compability of format, compatibility of content and how the mTool could provide ease of use to the corporate secretary. In related to organisational factors, There are seven (7) challenges that can be considered discovered from organisational which are challenge to face attitude of preparers, limited practitioners that have own sufficient skills and knowledge, limited capable resources and preparers to manage the MBRS. In addition, there are six (6) environmental factors which are the technical support from regulator, the provision of incentive that should be given to the practitioners or SMPs, the effective strategies for promotion and educate practitioners method of voluntary submission. However, the lack of readiness on the use MBRS among trading partners and other stakeholder involvement would also challenge the adoption of MBRS. Therefore, this TOE factors would be important to practitioners to be ready on the enforcement of MBRS.

Credit Risk Assessment Models of Retail Microfinancing: The Case of a Malaysian National Savings Bank’s Branch
Authors: Abdullah Mazni Asrida , Ahmad Azlina , Nayan Nor Azam Mat , Azhar Zubir , Ahmad Abd-Razak
Published: June 2020

Internal ratings have been used by banks to evaluate the creditworthiness of their borrowers with diverse practices. This research aims to analyse the practice of assessing (or predicting) the credit performance of microfinancing loans of a Malaysian bank and to suggest how the existing performance of credit assessment model can be improved. Logistic regression was used to investigate the predictive ability of information on business operators’ management and accounting skills as factors to predict default risk of borrowers. The combination of these information formed the three (3) models that were used in the analysis. The accuracy rate of each model was then measured. A sample of respondents was selected among microfinance borrowers in a national savings bank’s branch in Malaysia. A total of 106 questionnaires were used for data analysis. The findings suggest that good credit rating, business experience, business financial and forecasting capability are factors associated with whether SMEs will default or not in their payments. The combination of credit score used currently by the bank and the new information produced by this research increases the bank’s ability to predict default.
Applying the Silent Way in Teaching Japanese Language to University Students in Taiwan
Authors: Shirban Sasi Abolfazl , Haga Toshinari , Chen Heng Yu
Published: June 2020

The present study investigated the feasibility of applying the Silent Way in teaching Japanese to Taiwanese university students. A total of 168 (96 female and 72 male) students in a university in central Taiwan were the subjects of this study. They were studying Japanese as a general course, and were grouped in five classes ranging from freshmen to juniors. Some basic principles and techniques of the Silent Way were adopted in teaching them some vocabulary and 50 Japanese Hiragana sounds during six successive sessions in three weeks. Each administration took about 20 minutes embedded in the normal class time. A 25-item Hiragana sounds oral test was used as the pre-test and post-test in order to examine the effects of applying this method. Using a paired sample T-test (α ≤.05) significant difference between students’ knowledge of the Japanese sounds before and after the experiment was observed. However, comparing female and male students’ gained scores via applying a Mann Whitney U-test, no significant difference was observed. Thus, this study shows that the Silent Way can be used in teaching Japanese sounds and vocabulary, and that the effects for both females and males seem to be the same.
The Effect of the ECB’s Forward Guidance on Interest Rate Forecasts
Authors: Fendel Ralf , Heins Jan , Mohr Oliver
Published: June 2020

This study analyzes the impact of forward guidance (FG) by the ECB on the forecast error of financial markets participants regarding the interest rate level and the slope of the yield curve. We refer to OIS (overnight index swap) forwards as the relevant forecasts and purge the prediction error of several macroeconomic and financial variables to gain a pure representation of the exogenous forecast error. To isolate the effect of FG, this study refers to the absolute deviation of forecasts from actual rates and further controls for variables representing unconventional monetary policies. We find that the introduction of FG improved interest rate predictability for shorter maturities while the substantial decline of long-term interest rates has caught markets by surprise. Hence, the ECB’s intended reduction of refinancing rates at the longer end of the interest rate curve came at the cost of lower predictability of the slope of the yield curve.

Aprender gramática mientras se escribe: Actividad metalingüística y proceso de escritura cooperativa en el marco de una secuencia didáctica
Authors: Tormo Elisa
Published: June 2020

Este artículo explora la actividad metalingüística que se desencadena en el proceso de composición escrita cooperativa de una reseña por parte de alumnos de secundaria en el marco de una secuencia didáctica. La intervención combina tareas de reflexión metalingüística explícita con tareas de uso de la lengua en situación de escritura en pequeño grupo. Los resultados del análisis de esa actividad metalingüística evidencian que este tipo de colaboración promueve una reflexión sobre la lengua valiosa en la que todos los alumnos hablan sobre lengua, aunque poniendo el foco en aspectos dispares y con grados de participación diferentes. Ello invita a pensar que la investigación debe orientarse a explorar de qué maneras guiar la reflexión de alumnos con capacidades distintas.

Published: June 2020

The number of research on ginger microrhizome production is low, despite awareness of the drawbacks to the traditional method of cultivation and the known health benefits associated with ginger essential oils. We examined the effects of several factors on microrhizome induction in order to create a production protocol for the cultivar found in Hue, Vietnam. To determine the optimal conditions for ginger microrhizome production, different concentrations of sucrose, plant growth regulators, ammonium nitrate, and silver nitrate were investigated. Microrhizome fresh weight and diameter were increased to the maximum values with application of BAP (6-benzyl amino purine), NAA (α- naphthaleneacetic acid), IBA (indole-3-butyric acid), and a low ammonium nitrate concentration, with 0.433 g at 9.03 mm, 0.437 g at 9.73 mm, 0.478 g at 10.80 mm, and 0.449 g at 9.53 mm, respectively. Additionally, we demonstrated that kinetin has an inhibitory effect on microrhizome growth. The biggest microrhizomes were grown on MS media containing the optimal concentrations for each factor – 80 g/L sucrose, 1.9 mg/L AgNO3, 550 mg/L ammonium nitrate, 4 mg/L BAP, 6 mg/L NAA, and 4 mg/L IBA.
Evaluation of the effectiveness of radio frequency (RF) treatment on improving the overall appearance
of the facial skin in women – a pilot study
Authors: Wilk Monika , Lizak Amelia , Matuła Aleksandra , Ściasłowska-Czarnecka Anna
Published: June 2020

Introduction: Aging facial skin is a natural and unavoidable process. It involves a gradual weakening of the biological activity of cells, extension of regenerative processes and reduction of adaptability. At the same time, a smooth, radiant, wrinkle-free complexion has been a global trend in cosmetology for many years, which results in more and more people, especially women, benefiting from new non-invasive anti-aging treatments. One of such treatments offered on the cosmetology market are treatments utilising RF radio waves. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the impact of a series of treatments utilising RF on the skin of the faces of women. Materials and methods: The analysis of the results was carried out by the examined person and by the authors of the project via a point scale of visual assessment of skin condition. The following facial skin parameters were analysed in the study: depth of wrinkles, elasticity, skin brightening and moisturising. Results and conclusions: The conducted own study proves the impact of treatments using RF radio waves on the skin of the face. The applied series of treatments caused a partial reduction of the most visible and deepest wrinkles, as well as improved elasticity, brightening and moisturising of the facial skin.

Published: June 2020

Aim of the study: The purpose of this study was to assess the occurrence of spinal pain syndromes among video game players.
Material and methods: 550 persons took part in the survey, including 494 (89.8%) men and 56 (10.2%) women playing video games. The study was conducted using an online questionnaire created using Google Forms. The questionnaire contained 27 questions, including questions about time spent in sitting position, occurrence of spinal pain, ways of dealing with pain and knowledge of the principles of spinal pain prophylaxis. Results: 70% of respondents play on the computer seven days a week, about 3–4 hours a day. Half of the surveyed players devoted one to two hours a day to physical exercise, one third of the study subjects less than an hour, while every third video game player performed physical activity 3–4 times a week. When pain comes, almost 70% of respondents wait for it to subside, every
fourth person treats themselves and the rest seeks help of a doctor or physiotherapist. Conclusions: There was no correlation between the number of years spent on playing video games and the occurrence of spinal pain as well as between the daily number of hours spent on
playing video games and the occurrence of spinal pain.
Poczucie samotności u nastolatków z zaburzeniami ze spektrum autyzmu
Authors: Siedler Agnieszka , Waligórska Anna
Published: June 2020

Jedną z cech zaburzeń ze spektrum autyzmu (Autism Spectrum Disorder, ASD) są trudności w zakresie interakcji społecznych, uwzględniające deficyty w komunikacji, odwzajemnianiu emocjonalnym oraz umiejętnościach społecznych. Częste są również problemy w nawiązywaniu i podtrzymywaniu relacji społecznych oraz funkcjonowaniu w grupie rówieśników, mogące prowadzić do wysokiego poczucia samotności. Celem badania było zbadanie zależności pomiędzy poczuciem samotności, natężeniem cech zaburzeń ze spektrum autyzmu oraz funkcjonowania poznawczego – przede wszystkim w zakresie płynności słownej. W badaniu wzięło udział 50 adolescentów z zaburzeniami ze spektrum autyzmu w wieku od 13 do 19 lat oraz 50 adolescentów o typowym rozwoju. Badanie prowadzone było za pomocą metod kwestionariuszowych – użyto polskich wersji skali do pomiaru poczucia samotności Jenny De Jong Gierveld oraz kwestionariusza Autism Quotient Simona Barona-Cohena w wersji dla nastolatków. Przeprowadzono również próby mające na celu ocenę funkcjonowania poznawczego badanych, które były wykonywane podczas spotkania indywidualnego. Wyniki badania pokazały, że poczucie samotności związane jest zarówno z samym występowaniem zaburzeń ze spektrum autyzmu, jak i z ich nasileniem. Wykazano również pewne powiązania pomiędzy poczuciem samotności oraz wynikami prób poznawczych w grupie nastolatków z zaburzeniami ze spektrum autyzmu. Na podstawie uzyskanych wyników można stwierdzić, że postrzeganie samotności w przypadku adolescentów z zaburzeniami ze spektrum autyzmu może być moderowane przez ich poziom funkcjonowania poznawczego. Wnioski te wymagają jednak przeprowadzenia dalszych badań z uwzględnieniem dodatkowych pomiarów dotyczących funkcjonowania poznawczego.
Związki między inteligencją emocjonalną a retrospektywną oceną postaw rodzicielskich
Authors: Łodygowska Ewa , Chęć Magdalena
Published: June 2020

Inteligencja emocjonalna może być warunkowana różnymi czynnikami, związanymi z funkcjonowaniem rodziny i rodziców, w tym przejawianymi przez rodziców postawami rodzicielskimi. Dotychczasowe badania potwierdzają związki między niektórymi postawami rodzicielskimi a inteligencją emocjonalną dzieci, aczkolwiek koncentrują się przede wszystkim na adolescentach. Celem prezentowanych badań było ustalenie, czy istnieją zależności między inteligencją emocjonalną a postawami rodzicielskimi w retrospektywnej ocenie młodych dorosłych, z uwzględnieniem płci rodzica i dziecka, jak również specyfiki rodziny. Zbadano 257 młodych dorosłych, w wieku 20–25 lat, studentów różnych uczelni, stosując Kwestionariusz Inteligencji Emocjonalnej (INTE) autorstwa Schutte i in. w polskiej adaptacji i standaryzacji Jaworowskiej i Matczak (2008) oraz Kwestionariusz Retrospektywnej Oceny Postaw Rodziców (KPR-Roc) autorstwa Plopy. W badaniu uwzględniono również zmienne demograficzne. Istnieją pozytywne zależności między postawami rodzicielskimi matek w zakresie akceptacji/odrzucenia i autonomii a inteligencją emocjonalną córek i ich zdolnością do wykorzystywania emocji w myśleniu i działaniu. Nie stwierdzono zależności między postawami rodzicielskimi matek a zdolnością młodych kobiet do rozpoznawania emocji. Istnieje niewielki związek między akceptującą postawą matek a inteligencją emocjonalną synów. Osoby pochodzące z rodzin pełnych, korzystniej niż osoby pochodzące z rodzin innych niż pełna, oceniają postawy matek w zakresie akceptacji/odrzucenia, wymagań i niekonsekwencji oraz postawy ojców w zakresie akceptacji/odrzucenia, autonomii i niekonsekwencji. Związek między postawami rodzicielskimi a inteligencją emocjonalną dzieci może być determinowany typem rodziny pochodzenia.
Money, possessions and happiness: The relationships beetwen subjective and relative assessment of young adults’ material situation, materialism and well-being
Authors: Poraj-Weder Magdalena , Pasternak Aneta , Poraj Grażyna
Published: June 2020

The aim of this paper was to explore both direct and indirect associations between subjective and relative economic well-being, materialism and SWB of young adults of the post-transformation generation. In particular, the moderating role of materialism on the relationship between subjective and relative assessment and SWB was explored. The study was conducted on a group of 207 evening/weekend students, from public and private Warsaw colleges and universities. Correlational design was used and hierarchical regression analysis and moderation analysis using Hayes Model macro # 1 were done. The study’s results indicate that young people’s well-being is positively associated with their material situation assessment (subjective and relative) and negatively with materialism. The study’s results also show that a high level of materialism weakens or eliminates the relationship between subjective and relative assessment of one’s material situation and SWB.
A systemic approach to sibling functioning in childhood – a research review
Authors: Szymańska Paulina
Published: June 2020

The aim of the paper is to review recent literature and introduce a systemic approach to the nature of sibling relationships during the first years of life. A growing body of evidence suggests that siblings play considerable roles in each other’s development, and that the quality and the character of the sibling bond may have far-reaching effects. The present review elucidates the interactions between subsystems, particularly the functioning of the sibling subsystem; it also considers influences from other internal and external factors. It discusses siblinghood between children with regard to three main domains: warmth and support, rivalry and jealousy, and conflict. The final part of the article suggests some implications considering the influence of child siblinghood on adolescent and adult life.

Authors: Zielony-Koryczan Ewa
Published: June 2020

Celem artykułu jest usystematyzowanie dotychczasowej wiedzy oraz wyników badań związanych ze zjawiskiem kohabitacji. Ma on za zadanie zdefiniowanie tej formy bliskiej relacji pomiędzy partnerami, którzy nie decydują się na zawarcie związku małżeńskiego, jak również pomiędzy parami, które kohabitację traktują jako okres przejściowy. Współcześnie związki nieformalne osób tworzących wspólne gospodarstwo domowe stają się coraz bardziej popularne. W większych aglomeracjach miejskich mieszkanie ze sobą bez ślubu nie jest już rozwiązaniem zaskakującym. W artykule, na podstawie dotychczasowych rezultatów badań, starano się wskazać, jak rozwiązanie to oddziałuje na trwałość oraz całościowe funkcjonowanie bliskiej relacji. Podjęto także próbę zestawienia dotychczasowej wiedzy dotyczącej różnic w poziomie trwałości oraz satysfakcji ze związków formalnych oraz nieformalnych.
Rodziny zastępcze w postawach i opiniach młodych dorosłych
Authors: Barłóg Mateusz
Published: June 2020

W artykule przedstawiono badanie przeprowadzone wśród młodych dorosłych w wieku 19–35 lat (N = 67). Celem stało się określenie związku informacji poprzedzającej zawartej w instrukcji badania z postawą względem rodzinnej pieczy zastępczej. W tym celu jednej grupie (n = 35) przekazano informację poprzedzającą o negatywnych zachowaniach wychowanków, a drugiej grupie informację pozytywną o możliwościach rozwoju (n = 32). Analizy statystyczne wskazują na brak związku pomiędzy rodzajem instrukcji a postawą badanych. Analizowano także związek postawy z ogólnym poziomem wiedzy o rodzicielstwie zastępczym. W tym przypadku wynik również okazał się nieistotny statystycznie. Wyniki zdają się natomiast wskazywać, że może istnieć związek badanej wiedzy i postawy z wiekiem badanych. Ponadto kobiety w porównaniu do mężczyzn cechują się zarówno bardziej pozytywną postawą względem pieczy zastępczej, jak i wyższym ogólnym poziomem wiedzy o rodzinach zastępczych. Dane wskazują także na ogólną dość wysoką wiedzę młodych dorosłych o systemie pieczy zastępczej w Polsce oraz na pozytywny stosunek do pomocy dzieciom i rodzinom zastępczym. W dyskusji omówiono możliwe implikacje praktyczne dla dalszych badań i profilaktyki.
Law Applicable to Cloud Computing Contracts Concluded with Consumers under Regulation 593/2008, According to the CJEU Case Law
Authors: Żok Krzysztof
Published: June 2020

The undoubted popularity of cloud computing stems in particular from the fact that the provider can simultaneously offer access to his or her computing resources to an almost unlimited number of users located in different countries. Although this feature brings significant benefits to the provider, it also raises serious questions regarding the law governing the contract. The concerns become especially relevant in the case of contracts concluded between a consumer and a professional due to the limits of the choice of law and the special rules protecting consumers.The article analyses the law applicable to cloud computing contracts concluded with consumers. The considerations focus on the special provisions regarding consumer protection. Contrary to some comments, the article claims that the current legal framework is sufficient to determine the applicable law, although this task is not without doubts.
Document Similarity of Czech Supreme Court Decisions

Published: June 2020

Retrieval of court decisions dealing with a similar legal matter is a prevalent task performed by lawyers as it is a part of a relevant decision-making practice review. In spite of the natural language processing methods that are currently available, this legal research is still mostly done through Boolean searches or by contextual retrieval. In this study, it is experimentally verified whether the doc2vec method together with cosine similarity, can automatically retrieve the Czech Supreme Court decisions dealing with a similar legal issue as a given decision. Furthermore, the limits and challenges of these methods and its application on the Czech Supreme Court decisions are discussed.

OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to 1) define extent and potential clinical impact of increased or decreased renal elimination of meropenem in children with sepsis, based on analysis of renal function during the first 2 days of PICU stay; and 2) estimate the risk of subtherapeutic meropenem exposure attributable to increased renal clearance.

METHODS This retrospective study evaluated patients with a diagnosis of sepsis, receiving meropenem from the PICU at Rady Children's Hospital San Diego from 2015–2017. Meropenem exposure was estimated by using FDA-approved doses (20 and 40 mg/kg/dose) on day 1 and day 2 of PICU stay, based on a population pharmacokinetic (PK) model. For this population with sepsis, we assessed time-above-minimum inhibitory concentration (T>MIC) for pathogen MICs.

RESULTS Meropenem treatment was documented in 105 episodes of sepsis with a 48% rate of pathogen detection. By day 2, increased eGFR (>120 mL/min/1.73 m2) was documented in 49% of patients, with 17% meeting criteria for augmented renal clearance ([ARC] >160 mL/min/1.73 m2) and 10%, for decreased function. Simulations documented that 80% of PICU patients with ARC did not achieve therapeutic meropenem exposure for Pseudomonas aeruginosa with a MIC of 2, using standard doses to achieve a pharmacodynamic goal of 80% T>MIC.

CONCLUSIONS Approximately 3 of every 20 children with sepsis exhibited ARC during the first 48 hours of PICU stay. Simulations documented an increased risk for subtherapeutic meropenem exposure, suggesting that higher meropenem doses may be required to achieve adequate antibiotic exposure early in the PICU course.
O corset como objeto-fetiche na Inglaterra Vitoriana e as crises de valores nas dinâmicas entre classe e gênero
Authors:   Universidade de São Paulo, Pereira Roseana Sathler Portes
Published: June 2020

Este artigo busca explorar as relações entre o corset e o fetichismo no século XIX e começo do século XX. Apoiado pela perspectiva de Anne McClintock em Couro imperial - Raça, gênero e sexualidade no embate colonial sobre o fetiche e as dinâmicas entre classe e gênero, o protagonismo do corset na manutenção da ociosidade doméstica feminina vitoriana é analisado. A investigação sugere que a crise de valor produzida pelo conflito entre os espaços públicos e privados, pela relação entre a agência masculina e a estagnação feminina e a impossibilidade do gozo do ócio feminino são encarnadas no corset que se converte em objeto-fetiche. A recuperação dos escritos de Freud, o estudo das genealogias do fetiche e a retomada de sua origem etimológica amplia as perspectivas de significação para a relação do corset com o corpo feminino oitocentista, cuja silhueta, desenhada pela corseteria, demarcava calculadamente as possibilidades de seu papel social.
Dressed for leisure: the fashion descriptions in the mondaine chronicles of João do Rio
Authors:   Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Imada Heloísa Leite , Levin Orna Messer
Published: June 2020

In recent historiography, there is a consensus that the modernizing reforms promoted in Rio de Janeiro at the beginning of the 20th century have changed the capital’s architecture and the relationship between its population and the urban experience, introd ucing new practices into daily lives of cariocas. Among them was the introduction of sports, with the press being the main vehicle for its dissemination. This article explores the presence of fashion dedicated to sports in chronicles and examines its contr ibution to the validation of a collective imagination about leisure. The literary representation of sportswear gains complexity in the “ civilisation du journal ” , in which social relations are regulated by the production and reading of magazines. Therefore, the aim is to map out the access to fashion paradigms by readers of periodicals. As a case study, two chronicles of João do Rio on the sports theme are analyzed. Published in the column “ A Semana Elegante ” in 1916, they focus on the female presence and th eir clothing in the practice of tennis and sea bathing. We conclude that the importation and representation of sports practices and their fashion acted in the construction of an imaginary of elegance in the city of Rio de Janeiro.

Published: June 2020

This work aimed to take an approach on 3D printing technology in the fashion system, and the importance of postponement strategies, which are leading to greater information sharing in the production chain of this sector. It is also mentionate a way to intr oduce mass customization based on digital networks and other emerging technologies that has been breaking the traditional B2C (business to consumer) paradigm. This study features three entry - level machinery design projects, non - industrial 3D printers, and issues related to new ways of consumption. It can be concluded that 3D printing manufacturing is associated with lean production with few material surpluses or scraps, but when it comes to buying and shipping the product these issues still seem not to be c onsidered.
Uploading: The Path to Transcendence or Illusionary Escapism? A Philosophical Approach
Authors: Cobos-Sanchiz David
Published: June 2020

Transcendence has always been one of the human being’s greatest desires. The hope of a real world that exists after death, in which we somehow continue living, has been the subject of multiple proposals since ancient times. Today, the consideration of the beginning and end of life has ceased to be an irremovable biological examination thanks to many advances in science. In this context, in which the borders between the biological and the artificial become increasingly blurred, the most radical transhumanist philosophy looks for an absolute abstraction of organic matter through the download or ‘uploading’ of our mind to a computer. This is a very complex and controversial proposal, but perhaps the only viable one when faced with the futuristic hypothesis of the definitive disappearance of the human species.

Published: June 2020

Frecuentemente a los maestros de Física y de Matemáticas se les recomienda una enseñanza activa de estas áreas del conocimiento, que consiste en una interacción continua entre el maestro y el estudiante. Con una metáfora de un interrogatorio adecuado, se pretende mostrar al docente una manera de orientar al estudiante en su aprendizaje, motivándolo a recuperar conocimientos previos o causándole un conflicto cognitivo que lo lleve a reformular su aprendizaje. Esta manera de proceder didácticamente se ha llamado enseñanza basada en preguntas, cuya primera referencia histórica nos remite a la Grecia antigua. En este trabajo se presenta la enseñanza de la ley de Ampère con la generalización de Maxwell mediante la enseñanza basada en preguntas.
The groundwater flow system of Terme Alte (Alto Reno Terme, Bologna, Italy)
Authors: Gargini Alessandro , Stefani Alessandro , Vannini Stefano
Published: June 2020

The thermal field of Porretta Terme, located in the Alto Reno Terme municipality (Bologna), has always raised interest for its peculiar waters since ancient times. Indeed, the use of the springs dates back to the I-II century A.D. and perhaps even in the Etruscan period. Porretta’s thermal tradition has developed over the centuries. First regulation, issued in 1936, allowed to cultivate the mineral deposit and its natural gas in a 740 000 acres wide land. The thermal waters, a public good, are indeed ruled by specific laws which control their use through a grant where the Public Authority makes the licensee, usually a private, follow a series of accomplishments aimed at not damaging the quantitative and qualitative characteristics (R.D. July 29, 1927 n. 1443). Fourteen thermo-mineral springs out of the nineteen located in the given land are currently exploited. They are divided into two groups, which differentiate either for the chemical properties of the waters and their topographic location. The first group of springs, called salt-bromoiodic, with higher salinity and temperature, is located in the upper part of Porretta along the Rio Maggiore, a tributary on the left bank of the Reno River. This is the portion of the deposit that has been studied. The second group of springs, called sulphurous, characterized by lower temperatures and salinity, is located south-east Porretta on the left side of the Reno River. These thermo-mineral water resources appear to be very worthy and need particular care and protection. By using the results of past research, the essential bibliography of which has been edited in the end-notes, the aim was to develop the hydrogeological parameters of the aquifer that feeds the thermo-mineral sources, identify and understand the conceptual model of the groundwater circulation system, also detecting the interference between the different sources in the area examined. This type of research, which is usually applied to aquifers in sedimentary and granular soils, can be considered original. Indeed, an exhaustive hydrodynamic parameterization of a fractured thermal aquifer system such as that of Porretta has never been conducted. The collection of observational data on the hydrological regime and on the chemical composition of hot waters during the six months of field surveys, which confirmed the substantial constancy of the values over time, was also remarkable.

Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) is a promising set of techniques to cope with a variety of water management-related issues. In recent years MAR implementations have witnessed an expansion and greater social acceptance. Nonetheless, there are still some gaps in the scientific, economic and governance dimensions of MAR which need to be addressed. One of these gaps is the lack in many countries of clear regulations addressing MAR. In this paper eighteen regulations and twelve guidelines on water quality standards from around the world have been reviewed to favour the advancement of the legal framework concerning MAR. The review has demonstrated that the existing MAR regulatory frameworks are implemented at different levels (i.e. from regional to international) and consider different aspects such as planning, permitting and monitoring as well as the risk assessment. Most regulations take into account some of these aspects, but seldom all of them. The detailed study and comparison of the water quality standards enabled to define conclusions regarding the differences in maximum allowable concentrations (MACs). Furthermore, this comparison made visible the different approaches to encompass the variability of MAR systems, and also the natural conditions prevailing in the receiving groundwater body. Based on the review of the selected regulations, their advantages and shortcomings, a series of recommendations are proposed for the development of future legal framework entailing the MAR technique.

Pleurosternon bullockiiis a turtle from the Early Cretaceous of Europe known from numerous postcranial remains. Only one skull has so far been referred to the species.Pleurosternon bullockiibelongs to a group of turtles called pleurosternids, which is thought to include several poorly known taxa from the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous of Europe and North America. Pleurosternids and baenids, a group of North American turtles that lived from the Late Cretaceous to the Eocene, define a clade called Paracryptodira. Additionally, Paracryptodira likely includes compsemydids, and, potentially, helochelydrids. Character support for Paracryptodira is relatively weak, and many global phylogenetic studies fail to support paracryptodiran monophyly altogether. Proposed paracryptodiran synapomorphies are largely cranial, despite the poor characterization of pleurosternid cranial material. In addition to their questionable monophyly, the global position of paracryptodires is debated. Early studies suggest crown-turtle affinities, but most phylogenies find them as stem-turtles, irrespective of their monophyly. Here, we document the cranial osteology ofPleurosternon bullockiiwith the use of three-dimensional models derived from segmenting high-resolution X-ray micro-computed tomography (CT) scans.Pleurosternon bullockiihas a primitive basipterygoid region of the skull, but a cryptodire-like acustico-jugular region. A surprising number of similarities with pleurodires exist, particularly in the laterally expanded external process of the pterygoid and in the posterior orbital wall. Our observations constitute an important step toward a phylogenetic re-evaluation of Paracryptodira.

O Banco dos Abrolhos, região analisada nesta pesquisa, concentra a maior biodiversidade marinha do Brasil e uma série de atores que utilizam o território. Dentro desse contexto, o objetivo da pesquisa foi o de compreender as transformações históricas, econômicas e ambientais que influenciaram na territorialidade dos pescadores artesanais de Caravelas e Nova Viçosa entre 1960 e 2019. Para isso, utilizei a observação participante, entrevistas semiestruturadas, grupos focais e mapeamento participativo. Foi possível categorizar 4 marcos temporais, o primeiro foi marcado pela pesca da baleia, o segundo pela influência da Estrada de Ferro Bahia-Minas e o abastecimento dos navios, já o terceiro pela estruturação da pesca, com a chegada do gelo e das embarcações motorizadas, e o quarto, que foi influenciado pela chegada das Unidades de Conservação. Com efeito, o território passou por inúmeras transformações e a reterritorialização foi necessária para a manutenção do modo de vida tradicional da pesca artesanal local.

Abstract

ARTISANAL FISHING TERRITORIALITIES IN MARITIME TERRITORY OF CARAVELAS AND NOVA VIÇOSA-BA

The Abrolhos Bank concentrates the largest marine biodiversity in Brazil and a series of actors that use the territory. Within this context, the objective of this research was to understand the historical, economic and environmental transformations that influence the territoriality of artisanal fishermen of Caravelas and Nova Viçosa in the last 60 years. For this, I used participant observation, semi-structured interviews, focus groups and participatory mapping. It was possible to categorize 4 time frames, the first was marked by whale fishing, the second by the influence of the Bahia Minas Railroad and the supply of vessels, the third by the structuring of fishing, with the arrival of ice and motorized vessels. Finally, the fourth is influenced by the arrival of the Conservation Units. It can be said that the territory has undergone numerous transformations and that reterritorialization was necessary for the maintenance of local artisanal fishing.

Late recurrences of breast cancer are hypothesized to originate from disseminated tumor cells that re‐activate after a long period of dormancy, ≥5 years for estrogen‐receptor positive (ER+) tumors. An outstanding question remains as to what the key microenvironment interactions are that regulate this complex process, and well‐defined human model systems are needed for probing this. Here, a robust, bioinspired 3D ER+ dormancy culture model is established and utilized to probe the effects of matrix properties for common sites of late recurrence on breast cancer cell dormancy. Formation of dormant micrometastases over several weeks is examined for ER+ cells (T47D, BT474), where the timing of entry into dormancy versus persistent growth depends on matrix composition and cell type. In contrast, triple negative cells (MDA‐MB‐231), associated with early recurrence, are not observed to undergo long‐term dormancy. Bioinformatic analyses quantitatively support an increased “dormancy score” gene signature for ER+ cells (T47D) and reveal differential expression of genes associated with different biological processes based on matrix composition. Further, these analyses support a link between dormancy and autophagy, a potential survival mechanism. This robust model system will allow systematic investigations of other cell‐microenvironment interactions in dormancy and evaluation of therapeutics for preventing late recurrence.

Efficient heterogeneous photosensitizing materials require both large accessible surface areas and excitons of suitable energies and with well‐defined spin structures. Confinement of the tetracationic cyclophane (ExBox4+) within a nonporous anionic polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) matrix leads to a surface area increase of up to 225 m2 g−1 in ExBox•PSS. Efficient intersystem crossing is achieved by combining the spin‐orbit coupling associated to Br heavy atoms in 1,3,5,8‐tetrabromopyrene (TBP), and the photoinduced electron transfer in a TBP⊂ExBox4+ supramolecular dyad. The TBP⊂ExBox4+ complex displays a charge transfer band at 450 nm and an exciplex emission at 520 nm, indicating the formation of new mixed‐electronic states. The lowest triplet state (T1, 1.89 eV) is localized on the TBP and is close in energy with the charge separated state (CT, 2.14 eV). The homogeneous and heterogeneous photocatalytic activities of the TBP⊂ExBox4+, for the elimination of a sulfur mustard simulant, has proved to be significantly more efficient than TBP and ExBox+4, confirming the importance of the newly formed excited‐state manifold in TBP⊂ExBox4+ for the population of the low‐lying T1 state. The high stability, facile preparation, and high performance of the TBP⊂ExBox•PSS nanocomposites augur well for the future development of new supramolecular heterogeneous photosensitizers using host–guest chemistry.

There are growing interests in metal‐free heteroatom‐doped carbons for electrochemical CO2 reduction. Previous studies extensively focus on the effect of N‐doping, and their products severely suffer from low current density (mostly <2 mA cm−2) and limited selectivity (<90%). Here, it is reported that heteroatom codoping offers a promising solution to the above challenge. As a proof of concept, N,P‐codoped mesoporous carbon is prepared by annealing phytic‐acid‐functionalized ZIF‐8 in NH3. In CO2‐saturated 0.5 m NaHCO3, the catalyst enables CO2 reduction to CO with great selectivity close to 100% and large CO partial current density (≈8 mA cm−2), which are, to the best of knowledge, superior to all other relevant competitors. Theoretical simulations show that the improved activity and selectivity are stemmed from the enhanced surface adsorption of *COOH and *CO intermediates as a result of the synergy of N and P codoping.

Environmentally benign and potentially cost‐effective Sb2Se3 solar cells have drawn much attention by continuously achieving new efficiency records. This article reports a compatible strategy to enhance the efficiency of planar n–i–p Sb2Se3 solar cells through Sb2Se3 surface modification and an architecture with oriented 1D van der Waals material, trigonal selenium (t‐Se). A seed layer assisted successive close spaced sublimation (CSS) is developed to fabricate highly crystalline Sb2Se3 absorbers. It is found that the Sb2Se3 absorber exhibits a Se‐deficient surface and negative surface band bending. Reactive Se is innovatively introduced to compensate the surface Se deficiency and form an (101) oriented 1D t‐Se interlayer. The p‐type t‐Se layer promotes a favored band alignment and band bending at the Sb2Se3/t‐Se interface, and functionally works as a surface passivation and hole transport material, which significantly suppresses interface recombination and enhances carrier extraction efficiency. An efficiency of 7.45% is obtained in a planar Sb2Se3 solar cell in superstrate n–i–p configuration, which is the highest efficiency for planar Sb2Se3 solar cells prepared by CSS. The all‐inorganic Sb2Se3 solar cell with t‐Se shows superb stability, retaining ≈98% of the initial efficiency after 40 days storage in open air without encapsulation.
