O poema “Cenas da vida de Joaquim Cardozo” como ponto de partida retrospectivo para edição crítica de Crime na Calle Relator de João Cabral.
Authors: Correia Everton Barbosa
Published: July 2021

Tendo sido publicado em versões distintas, o poema “Cenas da vida de Joaquim Cardozo” será cotejado nos diversos volumes que o coligiram, com o propósito de acompanhar a repercussão editorial na expressão de João Cabral de Melo Neto, que foi lido largamente como autor de livros, mais do que de poemas. No entrelaçamento entre o livro e o poema, interessa demonstrar como a figura de outro poeta serve aos seus princípios composicionais, que incidem particularmente no contexto da tradição lírica luso-brasileira, também devido a seu caráter metalinguístico. Sendo a interlocução de maior duração na obra cabralina, ao longo da sua escritura autoral se estabelece como uma série de nove composições devotadas ao outro poeta pernambucano, entre as quais o texto em foco se coloca como ponto de chegada, iluminando a trajetória literária retrospectivamente.

Magmatic-Hydrothermal Mineralization Processes at the Yidong Tin Deposit, South China: Insights from In Situ Chemical and Boron Isotope Changes of Tourmaline
Authors: Zhao He-Dong , Zhao Kui-Dong , Palmer Martin R. , Jiang Shao-Yong , Chen Wei
Published: July 2021

Owing to the superimposition of water-rock interaction and external fluids, magmatic source signatures of ore-forming fluids for vein-type tin deposits are commonly overprinted. Hence, there is uncertainty regarding the involvement of magmatic fluids in mineralization processes within these deposits. Tourmaline is a common gangue mineral in Sn deposits and can crystallize from both the magmas and the hydrothermal fluids. We have therefore undertaken an in situ major, trace element, and B isotope study of tourmaline from the Yidong Sn deposit in South China to study the transition from late magmatic to hydrothermal mineralization. Six tourmaline types were identified: (1) early tourmaline (Tur-OE) and (2) late tourmaline (Tur-OL) in tourmaline-quartz orbicules from the Pingying granite, (3) early tourmaline (Tur-DE) and (4) late tourmaline (Tur-DL) in tourmaline-quartz dikelets in the granite, and (5 and 6) core (Tur-OC) and rim (Tur-OR), respectively of hydrothermal tourmaline from the Sn ores. Most of the tourmaline types belong to the alkali group and the schorl-dravite solid-solution series, but the different generations of magmatic and hydrothermal tourmaline are geochemically distinct. Key differences include the hundredfold enrichment of Sn in hydrothermal tourmaline compared to magmatic tourmaline, which indicates that hydrothermal fluids exsolving from the magma were highly enriched in Sn. Tourmaline from the Sn ores is enriched in Fe3+ compared to the hydrothermal tourmaline from the granite and displays trends of decreasing Al and increasing Fe content from core to rim, relating to the exchange vector Fe3+Al–1. This reflects oxidation of fluids during the interaction between hydrothermal fluids and the mafic-ultramafic wall rocks, which led to precipitation of cassiterite. The hydrothermal tourmaline has slightly higher δ11B values than the magmatic tourmaline (which reflects the metasedimentary source for the granite), but overall, the tourmaline from the ores has δ11B values similar to those from the granite, implying a magmatic origin for the ore-forming fluids. We identify five stages in the magmatic-hydrothermal evolution of the system that led to formation of the Sn ores in the Yidong deposit based on chemical and boron isotope changes of tourmaline: (1) emplacement of a B-rich, S-type granitic magma, (2) separation of an immiscible B-rich melt, (3) exsolution of an Sn-rich, reduced hydrothermal fluid, (4) migration of fluid into the country rocks, and (5) acid-consuming reactions with the surrounding mafic-ultramafic rocks and oxidation of the fluid, leading to cassiterite precipitation.
Reconstructive Options for Tibial Bone Defects
Authors: McClure Philip K. , Abouei Mehdi , Conway Janet D.
Published: July 2021

Segmental bone defects of the tibia are amenable to multiple treatment options including classic bone transport, shortening and then lengthening, induced membrane technique, transport over a nail, free fibular grafting, and medial transport of the ipsilateral fibula. These treatment options have relative advantages and disadvantages, depending on defect size, soft-tissue characteristics, the presence or absence of infection, and associated morbidity. Relatively, few large comparative studies exist, and surgeons are left to their own experience and the opinion of experts within the field to guide surgical decision-making.
The Burden of Patients With Lower Limb Amputations in a Community Safety-net Hospital
Authors: Stewart Christopher C. , Berhaneselase Eleni , Morshed Saam
Published: July 2021

Background:

The functional disability after amputation is tremendous and imposes a high economic burden on patients and health systems. The current literature on the costs of amputation has been limited to the index hospitalization or a short time window around the amputation procedure, which covers a small percentage of the total costs.

Methods:

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent lower extremity amputations at a single urban public level 1 trauma hospital. Resource utilization and healthcare costs 1 year before and 1 year after the index amputation were examined. Hospitalization costs were estimated using cost center-based cost-to-charge ratios for the 2-year follow-up.

Results:

The sample comprised 90 patients (73 men and 17 women) with a mean age of 55.9 years (SD, 9.9). Most amputations were secondary to diabetes (74%) and vascular disease in the absence of diabetes (22%). During the 2-year window around the index amputation, patients had an average of 2.7 admissions (SD, 2.3), mean index length of stay of 14.6 days (SD, 22.3), and a mean cumulative length of stay of 31.3 days (SD, 43.4). The patients had a mean of 2.3 (SD, 3.2) additional procedures performed on their amputated limb. Twenty-one patients (23%) required additional proximal amputations, with an average change of 2.2 (SD, 1.6) levels. The mean cost, per patient, of the index hospitalization was $51,481. Over the 2-year period, the mean cost of hospitalizations was $114,292 per patient with a total cost, summed over the cohort, of $10,286,250. Approximately 64% of the total cost went uncompensated.

Discussion:

Over a 2-year window, amputees endured multiple procedures, readmissions, and reamputations, leading to high healthcare costs. Further research into resource-conscious interventions and programs is needed to control the burdens faced by amputees and the health systems that care for them.
Young people confronting the challenge of reading and interpreting a digital world
Authors: Castellví Mata Jordi , Tosar Bacarizo Breogán , Santisteban Fernández Antoni
Published: July 2021

Critical citizenship education must consider the global and digital context in which we live. Digital media and global processes have a decisive influence on people’s daily lives. However, digital literacy programs rarely go beyond teaching technological skills. Similarly, critical thinking approaches to education focus on developing cognitive skills, omitting the weight of values and emotions in decision making. This research analyses Spanish secondary school students’ narratives and reflections about two publications on Twitter that present biased information to encourage undemocratic attitudes. The results show that most students are far from being critical of the information they read on the internet, and they easily fall into the trap of defending undemocratic discourses.

Training for Person Centered Medicine in a Forensic Hospital
Authors: Susic Esta , Gruber Ema Nicea , Korotaj Blazenka Guberina
Published: July 2021

The education and training needed for health professionals performing person centered medicine in a prison hospital is presented. The health professionals involved work in the department for forensic psychiatry of a prison hospital and conduct mandatory psychiatric treatment during a person’s prison sentence using a bio-psycho-social model of treatment and rehabilitation. Such health professionals work with mentally ill people having partially diminished capacity who perpetrated criminal activities and were sentenced according to the Croatian Criminal Code or Criminal Procedures Act and the Law for the Protection of Persons with Mental Illness. Required professional skills include capabilities to provide person-centered psychiatric treatment aimed at reducing psychopathology, articulating theoretical concepts, therapeutic procedures, health professionals' roles and self-understanding, interpersonal issues, relations between patient/prisoner and health professional, ethical dilemmas, and challenges establishing partnerships. Since each patient is also a person serving a prison sentence, the health professional must also know the legislative framework, work as a civil servant, pass the State service examination and be part of a team with different types of other professionals, particularly social workers, occupational therapists, prison officers, court officers, and state officers. For health professionals to practice person centered medicine in a prison setting is a quite demanding and stressful challenge. It may be the hardest way to practice, but it is the right way to do it.
Die digitale Beschäftigungsindustrie als global expandierende Branche
Authors: Pongratz Hans J.
Published: July 2021

Digitalisierte und über das Internet zugängliche Personaldienstleistungen umfassen ein heterogenes Angebot, zu dem Online-Stellenbörsen, Arbeitgeberbewertungs-Plattformen und Karrierenetzwerke, aber auch Crowdworking-Plattformen zur Vermittlung selbstständiger Aufträge zählen. Der Beitrag gibt mit der Unterscheidung solcher Plattformtypen einen Überblick über die expandierende digitale Beschäftigungsindustrie. Die Rahmenbedingungen ihrer Ausweitung werden analysiert und mögliche Konsequenzen für die institutionellen Strukturen des Arbeitsmarktes diskutiert. Veränderungen der Einflussbereiche als Folge der Expansion privatwirtschaftlicher digitaler Vermittlungsleistungen sind vor allem vom globalen Engagement der beteiligten Zeitarbeitsfirmen und Internetkonzerne zu erwarten. Während Crowdworking zuletzt intensiv diskutiert und erforscht wurde, hat die Digitalisierung der Personalrekrutierung bislang wenig Beachtung gefunden. Das ist umso bemerkenswerter, als die damit einhergehenden Machtverschiebungen, Deutungsansprüche und nicht zuletzt die Frage nach der Kontrolle der Daten große gesellschaftspolitische Herausforderungen darstellen.
Fluktuation in Betriebsratsgremien
Authors: Behrens Martin
Published: July 2021

Die Niederlegung von Mandaten während der laufenden Amtszeit eines Betriebsrats ist ein bislang selten erforschtes Phänomen. Wie die Auswertung von Daten des WSI-Betriebs­rätepanels 2015–2018 belegt, scheidet während der vierjährigen Amtszeit des Betriebsrats fast jedes dritte Mitglied vorzeitig aus dem Amt. Die Gründe für die Mandatsniederlegung sind vielfältig und reichen von Problemen, den Beruf bzw. die mit dem Mandat verbundenen Aufgaben mit der privaten Lebenswelt zu vereinbaren, über Konflikte mit dem Arbeitgeber bis hin zu Fragen der Überlastung durch das Amt. Wie multivariate Schätzungen belegen, scheiden Betriebsratsmitglieder besonders häufig aus dem Amt, wenn Arbeitgeber die Beteiligungsrechte des Betriebsrats behindern, das Verhältnis des Betriebsrats zur Belegschaft als schlecht eingeschätzt wird und unter den BR-Mitgliedern ein hoher Anteil atypisch Beschäftigter zu finden ist. Die Bindung des Betriebs an einen Tarifvertrag wirkt hingegen stabilisierend auf die Kontinuität im Gremium.
Armut trotz regelmäßiger Erwerbstätigkeit
Authors: Linckh Carolin , Tiefensee Anita
Published: July 2021

Dieser Beitrag analysiert für den Zeitraum 1999–2018, arbeitsmarkt- sowie sozio-strukturelle Entwicklungen von regelmäßig Erwerbstätigen, die unter bzw. über der Armutsschwelle leben. Die Auswertung zeigt eine steigende Quote der regelmäßig Erwerbstätigen, die über der Armutsschwelle leben, wohingegen die regelmäßige Erwerbstätigkeit bei Menschen, die unter der Armutsschwelle leben, nicht signifikant angestiegen ist. Frauen erhöhten ihre Erwerbsbeteiligung überdurchschnittlich, vielfach in Form von Minijobs. Die Lohnentwicklung zeigt, dass Erwerbstätige, die nicht von Armut betroffen sind, im betrachteten 20-Jahres-Zeitraum von einem realen Lohnanstieg profitierten, wohingegen sich der Bruttostundenlohn bei regelmäßig Erwerbstätigen, die von Armut betroffen sind, nicht signifikant veränderte, sondern vielmehr zwischen 1999 und 2012 gesunken ist. Die Analyse zum Bildungsniveau weist aus, dass in der Gruppe der regelmäßig Erwerbstätigen seit 2006 ein Anstieg des Anteils der Erwerbstätigen ohne Berufsabschluss zu verzeichnen ist. Im gleichen Zeitraum ist das Armutsrisiko für diese Menschen angestiegen. Insgesamt wird deutlich, dass auch eine regelmäßige Erwerbsarbeit viele Menschen nicht vor Armut schützt und (politische) Gegenmaßnahmen erforderlich sind.

It thus also serves to rethink what has already been practised in this field. It poses questions to check learning progress and provides answers to them.
Framing-Effekte im Alter
Authors: Reinhardt Anne
Published: July 2021

This book explores the highly topical question of how the willingness of older people to be vaccinated can be enhanced by means of health communication. Following an interdisciplinary approach, the book combines the message framing concept with theories from gerontology. In three sequential experimental studies, it investigates different moderators and mediators of message framing, with a particular focus on framing effects among individuals aged 60 and older. The book’s findings show that taking age-specific characteristics into account helps us to understand the effects of message framing better. Overall, results of the studies can be used in practice to address older target groups more effectively.

Authors: Kumar Vineet , D. Vora Shruti , A. Asodiya Foram , Kumar Naveen , K. Gangwar Anil
Published: July 2021

Animal tissues are extensively used as scaffolds for tissue engineering and regenerative therapies. They are typically subjected to decellularization process to obtain a cell-free extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffolds. It is important to identify chemical structure of the ECM scaffolds and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) appears to be a technique of choice. In this chapter, FTIR spectra of native and decellularized buffalo aortae, buffalo diaphragms, goat skin, and native bovine cortical bone are presented. The transmittance peaks are that of organic collagen amide A, amide B, amide I, amide II and amide III chemical functional groups in both native and decellularized aortae, diaphragms and skin. In bone, the transmittance peaks are that of inorganic ν1, ν3 PO43−, OH− in addition to organic collagen amide A, amide B, amide I, amide II and amide III chemical functional groups. These important transmittance peaks of the tissue samples will help researchers in defining the chemical structure of these animal tissues.
New Challenges in Malaria Elimination
Authors: Kumar Ghosh Susanta , Ghosh Chaitali
Published: July 2021

In recent years, efforts to eliminate malaria has gained a tremendous momentum, and many countries have achieved this goal — but it has faced many challenges. Recent COVID-19 pandemic has compounded the challenges due to cessation of many on-field operations. Accordingly, the World Health Organization (WHO) has advocated to all malaria-endemic countries to continue the malaria elimination operations following the renewed protocols. The recent reports of artemisinin resistance in Plasmodium falciparum followed by indication of chloroquine resistance in P. vivax, and reduced susceptibility of synthetic pyrethroids used in long lasting insecticide nets are some issues hindering the elimination efforts. Moreover, long distance night migration of vector mosquitoes in sub-Saharan Africa and invasion of Asian vector Anopheles stephensi in many countries including Africa and Southeast Asia have added to the problems. In addition, deletion of histidine rich protein 2 and 3 (Pfhrp2/3) genes in P. falciparum in many countries has opened new vistas to be addressed for point-of-care diagnosis of this parasite. It is needed to revisit the strategies adopted by those countries have made malaria elimination possible even in difficult situations. Strengthening surveillance and larval source management are the main strategies for successful elimination of malaria. New technologies like Aptamar, and artificial intelligence and machine learning would prove very useful in addressing many ongoing issues related to malaria elimination.
The Activity of New Bio-Agent to Control Cucumovirus Cucumber Mosaic Virus (CMV)
Authors: Abdulwahab Alfahad Maadh
Published: July 2021

CMV virus is worldwide, especially in temperate regions, where it can infect more than 800 plant species belonging to about 40 families. Although the main factor that the plant takes in order not to be infected is because it has preventive means that inhibit the direction of pathogens so that the infection occurs under conditions that suit it and suit its success. Cucumber Mosaic Virus belongs to the group of plant viruses to the genus Cucumovirus, as the virus particles are symmetrically spherical, not enveloped, with a diameter of 29 nm, and the virus has several strains that differ among themselves in terms of factors, symptoms of infection and methods of transmission. The stimulation of induced systemic resistance (ISR) leads to the interest of many researchers. Many types of research and studies have been conducted in the field of biochemical changes in the form of modulating the host’s cell wall. The production of phytoalexin. And the manufacture of pathogen-related proteins (Pathogenesis Related Protein). It has been indicated that treatment with various factors, for example (non-pathogenic organisms, weak pathogens, chemical and industrial compounds, plant extracts, nutritional supplements) has the ability to activate plant defense mechanisms and induce systemic resistance against pathogens. In the field of biological control, bacterial types have been used on many pathogens, including fluorescens Pseudomonas and Bacillus subtillus, as they have proven effective in controlling many different fungal and bacterial pathogens as well as viral, and the reason is due to the ability of the bacteria to produce many growth regulators and thus stimulate resistance The systemic plant and the production of phytotoxins are in addition to being one of the most important growth stimuli. New methods have been used to resist viruses by using natural nutritional supplements with effective effect, because plants have defensive means, and for this reason, the use of these supplements can be stimulated in addition to the preventive aspect, a decrease in infection parameters, and an increase in growth indicators and outcome. Several methods have been relied upon to diagnose viruses, the first being the symptoms of reagents, and they are of basic methods. After that, serological tests were adopted, which are highly specialized and accurate in diagnosing viruses, and electron microscopy was used as a method to detect the size and shape of viruses. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology is a fast and accurate way to detect plant viruses compared to other tests, such as the ELISA test and plant reagents.
Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium ovale in the Malaria Elimination Agenda in Africa
Authors: K. Quaye Isaac , Aleksenko Larysa
Published: July 2021

In recent times, several countries in sub-Saharan Africa have reported cases of Plasmodium vivax (Pv) with a considerable number being Duffy negative. Current efforts at malaria elimination are focused solely on Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) excluding non-falciparum malaria. Pv and Plasmodium ovale (Po) have hypnozoite forms that can serve as reservoirs of infection and sustain transmission. The burden of these parasites in Africa seems to be more than acknowledged, playing roles in migrant and autochthonous infections. Considering that elimination and eradication is a current aim for WHO and Roll Back Malaria (RBM), the inclusion of Pv and Po in the elimination agenda cannot be over-emphasized. The biology of Pv and Po are such that the same elimination strategies as are used for Pf cannot be applied so, going forward, new approaches will be required to attain elimination and eradication targets.

Stress-Strain Relationship: Postulated Concept to Understand Genetic Mechanism Associated with a Seismic Event
Authors: Prasad Verma Umesh , Narain Sinha Madhurendra , Kumar Dutta Pushan , Mullick Subhra
Published: July 2021

In this study, we propose the design methodology for monitoring the earthquake and for detecting and tracking micro-seismic changes in the earthquake prediction system. The alert device includes these sensors will be drastically different from current early warnings using the dozens of seismometers network across seismically active regions for measurement of small acceleration signals directly and, as the first, low-noise stage of the instruments measuring low-noise velocity signals. Strain develops over considerable time in the overlying stratum at right angle to the applied shearing (max) stress, obeying the internal friction of the stratum, available seismic energy and law of stress–strain relationship. Using estimated energy (seismic), stress accumulation, the addition or subtraction in the strain rate due to stress developed can be analyzed for a seismic event. This concept may lead to better understanding of stress generation; build up, transfer and final drop. Then we propose a methodology to identify type of data can be used for the spectral analysis in earthquake seismology and what type of instrument can be used for the spectral analysis in for data acquisition.
Improving the Cognitive Development of Children in Rural Areas as Development Tool
Authors: Alhassan Hamidu Jacob , Afua Brown Charlisa , Adjepong Mary
Published: July 2021

Good health is a crucial requirement for every child for proper growth and development. To increase their future prospects the exact nutritional intervention is needed to boost the thinking and self-confidence of children. Adequate levels of omega-3 essential fatty acids are vital for children during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and few years post-weaning. This is not just for their perfect growth but including their cognitive development. Poverty levels continue to be high in rural areas and there are nutritional interventions that can be used to reverse the trends. However, omega-3 fatty acids, known to have a greater impact on brain development are not cheap and available in forms that are accessible by the rural poor. With the many complications attached to a rural lifestyle, little is known about culturally accepted local sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Therefore, alternative sources of nutritional intervention including the provision of eggs enriched with appropriate fatty acids, which are readily available, accessible, cheaper, and culturally accepted should be explored for children.
Mitochondria in the Cerebral and Cerebellar Cortex in Alzheimer’s Disease, Target for a Therapeutic Approach
Authors: J. Baloyannis Stavros
Published: July 2021

Alzheimer’s disease remains the main cause of dementia in advanced age worldwide. Among the etiopathological background of the disease mitochondrial alterations may play a crucial role, given that they are closely related to metabolic and energy deficiency in neurons, glia, and endothelial cells in Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. In a series of morphological and morphometric studies of mitochondria in the cerebrum and the cerebellar cortex in Alzheimer’s disease, by electron microscopy, we described marked morphological and morphometric alterations. The most frequent ultrastructural alterations of the mitochondria consist of disruption of the cristae, accumulation of osmiophilic material, and marked changes of shape and size in comparison with the normal controls. Mitochondrial alterations were particularly prominent in dendritic profiles and dendritic spines. The ultrastructural study of a substantial number of neurons in the cerebellum revealed that mitochondrial alterations do not coexist, as a rule, with the typical Alzheimer’s pathology, such as cytoskeletal alterations, amyloid deposits, and tau pathology, though they are frequently observed coexisting with alterations of the cisternae of the Golgi apparatus. Therapeutical regimes targeting mitochondria may be beneficial in early cases of Alzheimer’s disease.
Housing Law in Poland—From the Cooperative Model to Flat Ownership
Authors: Sikorska-Lewandowska Aleksandra
Published: July 2021

In Poland, the housing system is currently based on cooperative apartments and the ownership of premises. This is due to historical conditions, because in the post-war period it was decided to foster cooperative housing; while the development of private property was impeded. After 1989, there were rapid economic and social changes, which also affected the real estate sector. It became possible to buy cooperative flats for ownership. The construction of new apartments was rapidly started and a development market was established. The owners of tenement houses made efforts to return the taken property, many of them regained the buildings, although their technical condition was very bad. There is a shortage of apartments in Poland, both available for purchase and for rent. In this chapter, I intend to present the current ownership status of apartments in Poland and the process of changes that took place, but did not solve the problems.
Molecular Mechanism and Current Therapies for Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia
Authors: Liu Bin , D. Tow Brian , M. Bonilla Ingrid
Published: July 2021

The rhythmic contraction of the heart relies on tightly regulated calcium (Ca) release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca release channel, Ryanodine receptor (RyR2). Genetic mutations in components of the calcium release unit such as RyR2, cardiac calsequestrin and other proteins have been shown to cause a genetic arrhythmic syndrome known as catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). This book chapter will focus on the following: (1) to describing CPVT as a stress-induced cardiac arrhythmia syndrome and its genetic causes. (2) Discussing the regulation of SR Ca release, and how dysregulation of Ca release contributes to arrhythmogenesis. (3) Discussing molecular mechanisms of CPVT with a focus on impaired Ca signaling refractoriness as a unifying mechanism underlying different genetic forms of CPVT. (4) Discussing pharmacological approaches as CPVT treatments as well as other potential future therapies. Since dysregulated SR Ca release has been implicated in multiple cardiac disorders including heart failure and metabolic heart diseases, knowledge obtained from CPVT studies will also shed light on the development of therapeutic approaches for these devastating cardiac dysfunctions as a whole.
Green Technology for Crude Oil Processed Water Treatment: A Practical Approach for Nigeria Petroleum Industry
Authors: Ibrahim Mustapha Hassana
Published: July 2021

Cleaner production is the key to environmental sustainability. Conversion of crude oil to various beneficial products is responsible for the contamination of air, water, and soil which are harmful to human, plants, animals, public health and the environment. Adequately treating produced water is beneficial for irrigation, wildlife consumption, industrial water and for domestic purposes. Therefore, green technology for treatment of crude oil processed water would provide the environmental friendliness needed for prolong utilization of our natural resources. Hence, the aim of this book chapter is to investigate the potentials of constructed wetland as a promising, effective and environmentally friendly alternative for secondary petroleum refinery wastewater treatment. Planted and unplanted mesocosm scale experiment with real secondary refinery wastewater was used for the purpose of the study. The parameters investigated were temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, total suspended solids, carbon oxygen demand, total petroleum hydrocarbon and oil and grease. The results revealed that Typha latifolia planted VSSF CWs effectively treated organic contaminants in secondary refinery wastewater with a better performance than the unplanted control VSSF CWs. The chromatographs for wastewater and T. latifolia samples showed a hydrocarbon distribution between n-C9 to n-C24 indicating abundance of lower weight hydrocarbon contamination.

Fungi being achlorophyllous depends on other living organisms for their food either being parasite or saprophyte. Saprophytic fungi are good biodegraders. Through their enzymatic batteries, they can degrade any organic substances. Most of the time during the processes of degradation, macrofungi (mushrooms) are occurred as per the climatic conditions prevailing in the particular locations. Micro and macrofungi are considered a good source of human nutrition and medicine since time immemorial. Some of the fungi which are commonly known as mycorrhizae facilitate nutrients to more than 90% of green plants. Fungi play a basic role in plant physiology and help in the biosynthesis of different plant hormones that provides the flexibility of plant to withstand adverse environmental stress, the whole fungi are more friend than foe.

Největší zjištěné problémy se týkají nedostatečnosti aplikovatelných právních rámců a také proporcionality využitého řešení. V obou případech přitom šlo o problémy, kterým se bylo možné vyhnout.
Varování NÚKIB v systematice zákona o kybernetické bezpečnosti a možnosti jeho zohlednění v zadávacím řízení
Authors: Klodwig Jakub
Published: July 2021

Článek se nejprve zabývá pojmovou nejednotností a používáním slova „opatření“ v systematice zákona o kybernetické bezpečnosti, tak aby nedocházelo k záměně těchto jazykově velice podobných institutů. Po jasném vymezení názvosloví a charakteru jednotlivých opatření je detailně pojednáno o institutu varování, který je v mezinárodním srovnání poměrně specifický. Klade totiž vysoké nároky na samostatnou činnost povinných osob, díky čemuž však umožňuje vhodně stupňovat bezpečnostní opatření povinných osob, a tak efektivně reagovat na kyberbezpečnostní hrozby různé intenzity. Dále je prakticky pojednáno o problematickém promítnutí performativních pravidel práva kybernetické bezpečnosti a vysoce formalizovaných administrativních pravidel zadávání veřejných zakázek. Po vysvětlení správného zohlednění varování veřejnými zadavateli jsou v souladu s podpůrnými materiály NÚKIB a aktuální rozhodovací praxí předestřeny také způsoby, jakými lze v různých fázích zadávacího řízení obsah varování promítnout do předmětu veřejné zakázky.
Active and passive adaptation of floating houses (Rumah Lanting) to the tides of the Melawi river in West Kalimantan, Indonesia
Authors: Putro Jawas , Zain Zairin
Published: July 2021

Floating houses or Rumah Lanting are one of the settlement cultures found in most river streams in Kalimantan and are observed to be different from several other houses in the area. They are mitigation-proof houses designed to respond to the risk of disasters usually experienced in the traditional settlements of West Kalimantan. Their structures have the ability to adapt to environmental conditions including natural disasters such as the river tides routinely experienced as a flood during the rainy season and as ebb in the dry season. This study aimed to identify the human-adaptation process existing in these floating houses through direct observation for two years during the dry and rainy seasons as well as in-depth interviews conducted with occupants of these buildings. The adaptation processes identified include the active and passive adaptation of the dwellers. The active aspect was observed from the behavior of occupants in accommodating the occurrence of disaster in the surrounding environment while the passive was identified as the physical changes implemented in the building to mitigate the disaster. The focus of this research was on some dwellings on the river banks settlement in the Melawi River near Sintang Regency of West Kalimantan Province and a qualitative approach with a case study was implemented. The samples were determined through a non-probability approach in the form of a purposive sampling method based on certain selected criteria which included the previous experience of ebb and flow of river water in the Rumah Lanting. The results showed the existence of active and passive adaptations for the dwellers of the floating houses in West Kalimantan. The active aspect observed involves the behavior of the occupants in adapting to natural disasters with the focus on the changes in the activity patterns, territory, and privacy. Meanwhile, the passive aspect showed some modifications in the architectural elements of the building such as the position, orientation, access, and function.
The philosophical platform of the architect: Why philosophers make such good drawings?
Authors: Vesnić Snežana
Published: July 2021

Theoretical interpretations and attempts at instrumentalisation of the ties and exchanges between philosophy and architecture have mostly been directed at questions of language or the institutionalisation of the discipline of architecture. In this text, I suggest a different approach to philosophical engagement in architecture: a simultaneous use in the methodology of the architectural project and constitution of a philosophy of architecture, not only as a question of interdisciplinary exchange, but as an integral part of comprehensive architectural processes, with philosophy still maintaining its original authenticity. My approach is twofold: explain the methodology and delineate its framework, but also raise the question what is an architect's philosophical platform. To that end, I will attempt to elaborate three models: 1) the first delves partially into the fields of fiction and illusion, and in it the architect adopts the role (position) of the philosopher, 2) the second model is the architectural engagement of philosophical notions, and 3) the third is the use of philosophical concepts in the creation of architectural ones. Corresponding to each, I will suggest the activity of "repetition of difference" as a possibility of creation of the authentic architectural concept.
Hybridity in and beyond architecture: Liminal conditions
Authors: Jevremović Ivana
Published: July 2021

The focus of this research is on hybrids and hybridity, with the emphasis on their liminal character - programme and formal non-finiteness. This paper presents a part of an ongoing doctoral research concerning theoretical frame for discussion and defining hybridity in architectural theory and practice. It deliberates hybridity through the social and humanistic discourse as well as theory of architecture in the context of both culture and architecture. The research describes hybrid as a condition, which can be observed through the concept of liminality and constant transformations, as opposed to finiteness of any kind. In this context, the aim of this paper is to locate and discuss hybridity in the contemporary architectural discourse, on the basis of etymological and connotative characteristics established through the architectural theory and other relevant disciplines in the field of social and humanistic sciences.
Edoardo Gellner and the village of Corte di Cadore
Authors: Bezzecchi Silvia , Trincanato Alvise
Published: July 2021

This paper views to describe the Villaggio Eni, located in Borca di Cadore and designed by Edoardo Gellner in the 50's, as one of the most important examples of mountain architecture, and a unique case study about concurrent designing of the buildings - especially the Colony - and the community hosted in them, from the master plan to details. The Children camp is considered a summary of the architect's entire work. Many ideas about the use of wood, stone - materials belonging to the local traditional technique of construction - and cast-in-place or precast concrete are carried out in the children's camp. In particular, different concrete formworks were used to obtain different patterns and textures. and the use of modular precast concrete led to multi-scale shapes and numerous combination options. These solutions aimed at blending in of the artificial elements with nature into an unspoilt environment. Starting from these premises, the aim is to analyse the planning, technical and formal decisions made in the Children camp in relation to the post Second World-War debates on prefabrication - especially regarding the INA-CASA house building - and the new language for alpine architecture.
Agon and the significance of victory at the Ceremonial Games in Olympia
Authors: Selaković Vojkan , Šiljak Violeta , Brkin Milan
Published: July 2021

The ideology of one of the most important global sporting events of today, the modern Olympic Games, focused on participation rather than victory, promoting equality among participants rather than domination of the victors over the defeated, established ideal models of sportsmanship and sports ethics of today based on the values of ancient society. The subject of this paper refers to the agon and the significance of winning the Ceremonial Games in Olympia. The objective of the paper is to determine the significance of the victory at the Ceremonial Games in Olympia through a review of primary and secondary historical sources, as well as to point out the connection between the victory and the agon. The historical method and the method of theoretical analysis are both applied in the paper. The results of the research point to the fact that the Ceremonial Games in Olympia were shaped by the general Greek phenomenon of expressed competitiveness or agon, the concept of honourable rivalry in all spheres of social life, with the purpose of proving excellence and superiority over competitors, and which as such became the main driving force of the development of ancient Greek culture, on the foundations of which the entire Western civilization rests today.

The results of morphometric analysis of Hungarian oak seeds originating from Lipovica Forest Management Unit are presented in this paper. The seeds have been collected from 50 trees evenly distributed on the forest management unit area. The length, width and mass of acorns are measured on the sample consisting of 50 acorns per tree. The volume and shape index of acorns are calculated based on the measured values of their length and width. The mean values of morphometric characteristics obtained in research indicate there is a high variability among the studied genotypes. The latter has also been confirmed by means of an analysis of variance which determined statistically significant differences between the sampled mother trees for all the observed morphometric characteristics. The results obtained represent a good starting point for future research on breeding of the species and can be utilised for improvement of the mass production of high quality Hungarian oak planting material in Serbia.
