L’enfant « corps-étranger-familier » en famille d’accueil
Authors: Bernard Alexandra , Sanahuja Maria de la Almudena
Published: September 2019

Cette réflexion a pour origine les observations cliniques initiales des auteurs, tirées de leurs rencontres avec des enfants placés en famille d’accueil dans le cadre de suivis psychologiques, et avec ces familles qui les accueillent. Leur sensibilité à l’écoute familiale psychanalytique leur a permis de porter une attention sur la souffrance du lien dans une lecture attentive et systématique, au regard de nombreuses situations de ruptures de placement, ou de l’observation de situations de souffrance psychique, que ce soit du côté de l’enfant placé ou de ces familles lors des phases évolutives de l’accueil et de l’accompagnement. En appui sur les conceptualisations psychanalytiques groupales (Bion, 1952, 1982 ; Kaës, 1993) et psychanalytiques familiales (Ruffiot, 1981 ; Aubertel, Ruffiot, 1982) qui indiquent que l’accueil d’un sujet au sein d’un groupe relèverait d’un processus inconscient particulier, les auteurs s’interrogent sur les modalités psychiques présentes lors de l’accueil d’un enfant étranger au cœur de l’intimité de ce groupe familial spécifique, notamment du point de vue fantasmatique. Sous cet angle de lecture, les auteurs apportent des pistes de compréhension des différentes dynamiques de lien repérées dans ces problématiques, pouvant conduire à des ruptures de placement.

Art industriel et art décoratif : faveurs et déshonneurs de la fonte ornementale au XIX e siècle
Authors: Boeglin Noémie
Published: September 2019

La fonte de fer moulée connaît un succès croissant dans l’espace urbain, soit sous la forme de mobilier urbain, soit comme élément d’ornementation tectonique sur les façades des immeubles et des hôtels particuliers. Ces ornements, vendus sur catalogue, sont le produit simultané de l’art industriel et de la recherche esthétique. Des générations de fondeurs de fonte de fer, d’ornemanistes, de serruriers, concourent à sa diffusion dans les villes. L’ornement de fonte de fer moulée connaît faveurs et déshonneurs durant le xix e siècle. Ses promoteurs et ses détracteurs s’expriment dans des grammaires, des dictionnaires, des encyclopédies, pendant que les fondeurs et maîtres de forges diffusent à grande échelle leurs catalogues qui contribuent largement à son succès.

Published: September 2019

Although several studies now support the use of aspirin for venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the optimal chemoprophylactic agent in revision THA and TKA is not clear. The purpose of this study was to determine if the type of chemoprophylaxis has an effect on the VTE rate in patients undergoing revision total joint arthroplasty (TJA). The second aim was to compare differences in rates of wound drainage in primary and revision TJA stratified by the postoperative chemoprophylaxis used. The authors retrospectively reviewed 1917 consecutive patients undergoing primary and revision TJA. Individual records were reviewed for patient demographics, medical comorbidities, type of chemoprophylaxis, VTE risk factors, intraoperative data, and postoperative complications. Outcomes, including VTE rate and wound complications, were compared between types of anticoagulant therapy used postoperatively. Of the 1917 patients, there were 742 (38.7%) primary TKAs, 326 (17%) revision TKAs, 608 (31.7%) primary THAs, and 241 (12.6%) revision THAs. The most common prophylactic agent used was rivaroxaban (40.6%), followed by warfarin (28.5%) and aspirin (27.6%). Type of chemoprophylaxis was not associated with postoperative VTE or wound drainage (
P
>.05). Although revision surgery was an independent risk factor for wound drainage (odds ratio, 3.201; 95% confidence interval, 1.594–6.426;
P=
.001), it was not a risk factor for VTE (odds ratio, 1.847; 95% confidence interval, 0.423–8.053;
P
=.414). Revision arthroplasty alone was not associated with an increased rate of VTE. Aspirin is as effective as other chemoprophylactic agents without the increased risk of bleeding in low-risk patients. [

Sexually Transmitted Infections: Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment in Primary Care
Authors: Montalto Gregg Joseph
Published: September 2019

Most adolescents are cared for by general pediatricians, family practitioners, and mid-level providers. As a result, primary care practitioners need to be prepared to answer questions from adolescent patients and their parents about sexually transmitted infections (STIs), to practice good preventive medicine through screening and vaccination, and to provide treatment of STIs when needed. Although the topic of STIs is broad, there are common scenarios that arise in adolescent care. This review takes a pragmatic look at some of the most routine topics in adolescent health care regarding STIs, including the provision of confidential care, discussions with adolescent patients and their parents about human papillomavirus vaccination, the diagnosis and treatment of urethritis and cervicitis, and STI screening recommendations.

Intralobar pulmonary sequestration treated with video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy
Authors: Kim Taeyun , Choi Hyunji , Kim Jehun
Published: September 2019

Bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) is a rare congenital anomaly of airway in which a portion of the lung receives blood supply from an abnormal systemic artery. A 72-year-old woman had been suffering from recurrent left lower back pain and pneumonia for more than 10 years. She was diagnosed with intralobar type of BPS by computed- tomography angiogram and underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy. BPS is a rare congenital abnormality that can accompany repeated pulmonary infection. Although asymptomatic patients may consider lifelong observation, surgical treatment of patients with symptoms is a curative option with minimal morbidity. To improve quality of the life for patients, active surgical treatment should be considered.
Experimental Analysis of the Influence of Water Injection Strategies on DISI Engine Particle Emissions
Authors: Gern Maike Sophie , Vacca Antonino , Bargende Michael
Published: September 2019

Increasing the efficiency of modern gasoline engines (with direct injection and spark-ignition - DISI) requires innovative approaches. The reduction of the engine displacement, accompanied by an increase of the mean pressure, is limited by the tendency of increasing combustion anomalies. Conventional methods for knock mitigation, on the contrary, have a negative effect on consumption and efficiency. A promising technology to solve these conflicting objectives is the injection of water. Both the indirect and the direct water injection achieve a significant reduction in the load temperature. The fuel enrichment can be reduced, whereby the operating range of the exhaust aftertreatment can be extended. In addition, water injection paves the way for an increase in the geometric compression ratio, which leads to an efficiency advantage even at partial load. The influence of water injection on the combustion process and raw emissions was analyzed experimentally on a single-cylinder research engine with direct and indirect water injection. Even though water injection initially slows down the combustion process, both injection concepts allow a clear shift in the knock limit and a reduction in the exhaust gas temperature. Since a further tightening of the limit values for gaseous and particulate emissions is to be expected, for the analysis of the raw emissions a mobility spectrometer was used in addition to a conventional exhaust gas measurement. Experimental investigations on particle size distribution in connection with different water injection concepts are not yet known. Water injection strategies are worked out with a variation of the injection parameters. Since the number and size of the particles were influenced by the injection parameters, a strategy recommendation for an engine efficiency improvement using water injection was developed.
Ultra-Lean Pre-Chamber Gasoline Engine for Future Hybrid Powertrains
Authors: Serrano David , Zaccardi Jean-Marc , Müller Christoph , Libert Cedric , Habermann Knut
Published: September 2019

Lean burn gasoline spark-ignition engines can support the reduction of CO2 emissions for future hybrid passenger cars. Very high efficiencies and very low NOx raw emissions can be achieved, if relative air/fuel ratios λ of 2 and above can be reached. The biggest challenge here is to assure a reliable ignition process and to enhance the fuel oxidation in order to achieve a short burn duration and a good combustion stability.

This article aims at introducing an innovative combustion system fully optimized for ultra-lean operation and very high efficiency. Thereto, a new cylinder head concept has been realized with high peak firing pressure capability and with a low surface-to-volume ratio at high compression ratios. 1D and 3D simulations have been performed to optimize the compression ratio, charge motion and intake valve lift. Numerical calculations also supported the development of the ignition system. Stable ignition and fast flame propagation were achieved thanks to a centrally located active pre-chamber which allows to control the air/fuel ratio independently of the air/fuel ratio in the main combustion chamber.

Experimental investigations have then been performed with a single cylinder engine to demonstrate the capabilities of this new combustion system in a sweet spot operating point. A maximal indicated thermal efficiency of 47% was achieved at λ = 2 with optimized injection settings in the pre and main combustion chambers. The fuel efficiency could be maximized thanks to a fast and knock-free combustion process. Compared to the reference operation with stoichiometric air/fuel ratio, only a seventieth of the NOx raw emissions were measured (i. e. 50 ppm), and the particulate mass emissions were halved. The energy balance analysis points out that these promising results could be further improved by working on the reduction of the unburnt hydrocarbon emissions and by jointly optimizing the scavenging process.
Community Health Center Engagement and Training During Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency
Authors: Cheng Anita Y. , Erlinger Adrienne L. , Modest Anna M. , Chie Lucy , Scott Jennifer , Molina Rose L.
Published: September 2019

Background

Community health centers (CHCs) and federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) are critical health care access points for medically underserved areas in the United States. They also provide opportunities for residents to learn about health system challenges, including workforce shortages, social determinants of health, and health equity.

Objective

We sought to describe current obstetrics and gynecology (OB-GYN) resident engagement and training in community health settings.

Methods

We conducted a website review and survey to identify the prevalence and types of OB-GYN resident exposure to CHCs, including FQHCs. We reviewed 241 program websites to identify community health electives or rotations. We then surveyed program administrators regarding departmental affiliations with CHCs, types of resident involvement, and barriers to resident rotations at CHCs.

Results

The website review revealed that 18% (44 of 241) of programs offered a community health rotation. Of the 241 programs surveyed, 78 program administrators responded (32%). Forty-three programs (55%) had at least 1 affiliated CHC, and 34 programs (44%) allowed residents to rotate at a CHC. The most common barrier to resident rotations at a CHC was inadequate resident coverage of hospital-based clinical responsibilities. Respondents reported that among 782 graduating residents in the 2016–2017 and 2017–2018 academic years, 76 (10%) planned to pursue a position at a CHC.

Conclusions

According to their websites, a small percentage of US OB-GYN residency programs offered a CHC rotation. Of programs responding to a survey on the topic, less than half offered CHC rotations and less than 1 in 10 residents planned to work in CHCs after graduation.
Comparative Analysis of Cost of Biomedical Waste Management in Rural India
Authors: D'souza Bryal , MS Arun , Johnson Bijoy
Published: September 2019

Introduction

The quantum of waste generated from medical care and activities is a global matter of concern. Improper management of biomedical waste (BMW) has a grave health impact on the community, health care professionals, and the environment.1 It is mandatory by law that every medical organization that generates waste should have a system, process, and resources in place for segregating BMW within the organization for proper disposal. The present article deals with the understanding of various costs associated in BMW management process that will help the health care organization to prioritize their spending and focus on areas that require spending to achieve compliance in process of BMW management.

Materials and methods

Descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out, to study the compliance of BMW management at three different hospitals with respect to Bio-Medical Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 2011. A retrospective study was conducted to analyze cost data for a 1-year time period. Cost involved in BMW management was analyzed and classified as capital and recurring costs. The study was undertaken in Udupi taluk, and the taluk comprises 11 hospitals (1 Government and 10 private hospitals). The hospitals were selected using convenient sampling as taking permission to conduct the study was difficult. Only three hospitals were permitted to carry out the study.

Results and discussion

Compliance was found to be better in accredited hospital than in nonaccredited hospital. This could be attributed to strict adherence to standard operating procedures and regular training of staff. Cost involved in BMW management was analyzed as capital and recurring costs. Since most of the hospital outsource final disposal, capital costs are significantly less compared to recurring costs. Among the recurring costs, maximum expenditure is on consumables like color-coded bags. Cost per bed per day for handling BMW was calculated and it was found to be higher in smaller hospitals.

Comparison of the Efficacy and Safety of Intrathecal Fentanyl 20 μg vs Sufentanil 5 μg as Adjuvant to Bupivacaine 0.5% (12.5 mg) using Combined Spinal Epidural Technique for Lower Limb Orthopedic Surgeries
Authors: Umbarkar Sanjeeta R , Gandhi Manju N , Iyer Hemlata R , Thawale Roshan S
Published: September 2019

Aim

To compare the efficacy and safety of intrathecal fentanyl 20 μg vs sufentanil 5 μg as adjuvant to bupivacaine 0.5% (12.5 mg) using combined spinal epidural (CSE) technique for lower limb orthopedic surgeries.

Background

Use of local anesthetics along with opioids intrathecally has been widely reported. We aimed to compare two commonly used opioids as adjuvants to local anesthetic agents in combined spinal epidural techniques.

Materials and methods

A total of 60 patients were recruited in this prospective, randomized, double-blind study to receive either intrathecal sufentanil 5 μg (Group S) or fentanyl 20 μg (Group F) as adjuvants to 12.5 mg of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine. The onset and duration of sensory and motor block and the pain scores were assessed perioperatively. Duration of analgesia was recorded. The incidence of side effects such as nausea, vomiting, pruritus, shivering. and postdural puncture headache (PDPH) were recorded.

Results

Demographic data and hemodynamic and respiratory parameters were comparable in both the groups. Onset of analgesia—time to reach highest level of analgesia—was faster in the sufentanil group. Sufentanil group patients had higher grade of motor block. Patients in fentanyl group had higher score of sedation than those of sufentanil group. None of the patients in any group had nausea, vomiting, or pruritus.

Conclusion

Addition of either fentanyl or sufentanil to intrathecal bupivacaine as an adjuvant in CSE technique enhances the quality of analgesia and motor block with minimal side effects. Hence, this is useful in orthopedic patients, especially in the geriatric age group.

Cerebral Oxygenation during Pediatric Cardiac Surgery: Identification of Vulnerable Periods using Near-infrared Spectroscopy
Authors: Mange Mehul , Sarkar Manjula
Published: September 2019

Objective

Neurologic sequelae remain a well-recognized complication of pediatric cardiac surgery. The aetiology of neurologic injury is almost certainly multifactorial, imbalance between cerebral oxygen supply and demand is likely to play an important role. We sought to measure regional cerebral oxygenation in children undergoing cardiac surgery using nearinfrared spectroscopy to ascertain such vulnerable periods.

Materials and methods

This study is an observational study of 18 children (median age 1.3 years) undergoing cardiac surgery. Regional cerebral oxygenation was monitored using the INVOS3100 cerebral oximeter and related to hemodynamic parameters at each stage of the procedure.

Results

Prior to the onset of bypass, 10 patients had a decrease in regional cerebral oxygenation, reaching a saturation less than 35% in 5 cases. The most common cause was handling and dissection around the heart prior to and during caval cannulation. With institution of bypass, regional cerebral oxygenation increased. Discontinuation of bypass caused a precipitous decrease in regional cerebral oxygenation in three patients, reaching less than 40%.

Conclusions

These observations suggest that the pre- and early post-bypass periods are vulnerable times for provision of adequate cerebral oxygenation. Near-infrared spectroscopy is a promising tool for monitoring O2 supply/demand relationships especially during circulatory arrest.

Published: September 2019

Convulsions occurring on the operating table in any patient, especially a pregnant patient, can be a nightmare. Initial management with regard to airway, breathing, and anticonvulsants remains the same. The differential diagnosis includes eclampsia, hypoglycemia, peripartum cerebrovascular thrombosis, subarachnoid hemorrhage, infection, intracranial tumor, head injury, idiopathic epilepsy, vasculitis, amniotic fluid embolism, etc. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain of our patient revealed posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, a neuroradiological diagnosis. Management is supportive with anticonvulsants, cerebral decongestants, and treating the underlying cause including blood pressure control and early cesarean section. There is a small risk of permanent neurological damage or death.

Dexmedetomidine for Conscious Sedation in Bilateral Inferior Petrosal Sinus Sampling
Authors: Barnwal Neeraj , Dias Raylene , Mamde Rahul
Published: September 2019

Cushing's syndrome in an acromegalic patient is a very rare presentation. To differentiate a Cushing's disease from Cushing's syndrome due to ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secreting tumors, inferior petrosal sinus sampling (IPSS) is required. Acromegaly patients have associated airway abnormalities posing a challenge to administration of anesthesia. Traditionally, most IPSS was done under general anesthesia. But now it is being recognized that general anesthesia for this procedure has its own implications and hence conscious sedation is being used for this purpose. We describe our experience with the novel agent dexmedetomidine for conscious sedation in this procedure.

Published: September 2019

Multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 1 is an autosomal dominant disease, commonly characterized by neoplasms of parathyroid glands, pituitary gland and pancreas islet cells. The anesthesia management in such patients for surgical procedures is challenging due to multiple endocrine gland involvement and its resultant implications, making every case a unique entity. The anesthesia management for MEN type I patients pose unique challenges to the anesthesiologist requiring meticulous preoperative evaluation, intraoperative anticipation, prevention and management of potential complications along with postoperative monitoring. We present a case of successful management of excision of a sellar mass in a patient with MEN type I syndrome with full postoperative recovery with the use of propofol, dexmedetomidine and desflurane anesthesia.

Published: September 2019

Abstract. The article describes a scanning polarization lidar LOSA-M3, developed at the Institute of Atmospheric Optics, the Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences (IAO SB RAS). The first results of studying the crystalline particles orientation by means of this lidar are presented herein. The main features of LOSA-M3 lidar are the following: 1) an automatic scanning device, which allows to change the sounding direction in the upper hemisphere at the speed up to 1.5 degrees per second with the accuracy of angle measurement setting at least 1 arc minute; 2) separation of polarization components of the received radiation is carried out directly behind the receiving telescope, without installing the elements distorting polarization, such as dichroic mirrors and beamsplitters; and 3) continuous alternation of the initial polarization state (linear - circular) from pulse to pulse that makes it possible to evaluate some elements of the scattering matrix. Several series of measurements of the ice cloud structure of the upper layers in the zenith scan mode were carried out in Tomsk in April-October 2018. The results show that the degree of horizontal orientation of particles can vary significantly in different parts of the cloud. The dependence of signal intensity on the tilt angle reflects the distribution of particle deflection relative to the horizontal plane, and is well described by the exponential dependence. The values of cross-polarized component in most cases show a weak decline of intensity with the angle. However, these variations are smaller than the measurement errors. We can conclude that it is practically independent of the tilt angle. In most cases the scattering intensity at the wavelength of 532 nm has a wider distribution than at 1064 nm.

Published: September 2019

Abstract. Recovering from major earthquakes is a challenge, especially in mountainous environments where post-earthquake mass movements and floods may cause substantial impacts. We monitored the reconstruction of Longchi town in Sichuan, China, over a period of 11 years, following the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. Seven inventories of buildings, land use, roads and mitigation measures were made by using remote sensing image interpretation and field surveys. Most of the buildings were rebuild by 2010 and reconstruction was completed by 2012. The total economic value of the new buildings in 2010 was much more than the pre-earthquake situation in 2007. Unfortunately, post-seismic hazards were not sufficiently taken into consideration in the recovery planning before the catastrophic debris flow disaster in 2010. As a result, the direct economic loss from post-seismic disasters was more than the loss caused by the earthquake itself. The society showed an impact – adapt pattern, taking losses from disasters and then gaining resistance.

Published: September 2019

Abstract. Inuit have reported greater inter-annual variability in seasonal sea ice conditions. For Deception Bay (Nunavik), an area prized for seal and caribou hunting, an increase in solid precipitation and a shorter snow cover period is expected in the near future. In this context, and considering ice-breaking transport in the fjord by mining companies, we monitored sea ice in the area for three seasons of ice between 2015 and 2018. This article presents a case study for the combined use of TerraSAR- X and time-lapse photography time-series in order to monitor snow-covered sea ice seasonal processes. The X-band median backscattering is shown to reproduce the seasonal evolution expected from C-band data. Two different freeze-up and breakup processes are characterized. New X-band backscattering values from newly formed ice types are reported. The monitoring approach presented in this article has the potential to be applied in other remote locations, and processes outlined here may inform our understanding of other fjords or bays where ice-breakers transit.

By inventorying and analyzing, it is necessary to improve the quality of services that are effective and efficient. This research was conducted to find out the improvement of the quality of public complaint services in realizing good governance in the Bondowoso District Inspectorate using descriptive qualitative research methods and analyzed an interactive model with a service quality theory and good governance approach so that it was known to improve the quality of public complaint services in realizing good governance in the Bondowoso District Inspectorate This is done through the use of an e-government named SIPEKA and steps are taken to continue developing the community complaints system through improving facilities and infrastructure, improving the quality of the human resources of the surveillance apparatus, improving the handling system for civil society complaints, and increasing the handling of follow-up to the results of the examination. Improving the quality of services and the use of e-government is part of realizing good governance, because basically good governance becomes an impossible case without the participation of all people on the basis of shared commitment, upholding the nation-state principle with a clear distinction between private and public affairs.

BACKGROUND: Knowledge acquisition and knowledge update through research remains an important factor to ensure quality and cost-effective care, which is the hallmark of professionalism and evidence-based care. Knowledge is vital in nursing due to the centrality of nursing to health care. More importantly is mental health because mental health is primary to general health, just as nursing is the heartbeat of health care. This makes the issue of mental health care, a necessary service that cannot be overemphasised. The World Health Organisation declares mental health as the essential form of health that needs to be acquired without which all others form of health may not be achieved. Further to this, the global emphasis on care and recovery of lost mental health is on the increase. This, therefore, makes evidence-based mental health care, a necessity and not a choice.

AIM: To discuss evidence-based nursing, the benefits, challenges and opportunities.

METHODOLOGY: This article adopts the traditional review method to assess the concept of discussion on mental health care, evidence-based practice and professionalism.

FINDINGS: The term evidence-based care Is gaining recognition in a variety of professions and organisations. The use of evidence in nursing care is influenced by policies, knowledge of time management, availability of human resources, practice autonomy and attitude of professionals. However, the use of evidence-based practice is not debatable.

CONCLUSION: The use of scientific evidence for validating nursing care is germane. This article exposed the barriers to evidence-based mental health nursing and the way forward.

The topography directly influences the functioning of an irrigation system, being necessary the determination of the uniformity to verify its performance. Statistical quality control is a powerful tool for verifying the quality of a process. Thus, it was aimed to use the statistical control of quality in the evaluation of the uniformity of a drip irrigation system in different slopes. The Christiansen’s uniformity coefficient (UC) and Uniformity of Distribution (UD) were determined and analyzed by the control graphs of Shewhart, Zones and CUSUM and by the indices of process capacity (Cp, Cpl and Cpk), in different slopes (0%, 2% and -2%). The slope irrigation was more uniform (UC = 99.03% and UD = 98.45%), however, for all the graphs studied it was out of statistical control. Zone charts were more sensitive than the CUSUM and Shewhart charts.

With the aim of studying the drawbar performance and power required by a commercial chisel plow with five shanks, an experiment was carried out involving two soil types (sandy and clayey) and three working depths (0.25, 0.35 and 0.45 m). A farm wheeled tractor, properly sized by the raw power of the engine, pulled the equipment. An electronic instrumentation was used for data acquisition to measure the drawbar pull. Furthermore, in addition, four other parameters were determined, as real travel speed and slippage of the tractor. Chiseling operations showed no statistically significant effect of soil type on drawbar pull in the different working depths. However, clayey soil presented higher values of slippage (34.44%), power performance (47.25 kW) and drawbar pull (40.26 kN) than sandy soil.

The use of available resources in the property is of paramount importance for the sustainability of the system. In this sense, the objective was to study the agronomic viability of mint Mentha piperita under amounts and forms of application of the organic fertilization in the semiarid of Brazil. The experiment was conducted at the experimental farm Rafael Fernandes in the period from August 2017 to November 2017, in the Alagoinha district, rural area of Mossoró-RN. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design in a 5 × 2 factorial scheme, with four replications. The first factor consisted of the quantities of the mixture of jitirana plus bovine manure (0.0, 1.4, 2.8, 4.2 and 5.6 kg m-2), the second factor was composed by the way of handling the mixture of jitirana and bovine manure (incorporated and in cover). For the mint crop, the cultivar Mentha piperita was planted. The following characteristics were evaluated: biomass height, green mass production; number of bunches; dry mass production; oil content and oil production. No interaction was observed between the amounts of organic fertilization in the forms of management of organic fertilization in the characteristics evaluated. The best agronomic performance of mint was observed in the amount of 4.2 kg m-2, with green mass production of 1.5 kg m-2, equivalent to 16.4 units m-2. Organic fertilization becomes viable option to be used in the fertilization of the mint.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the compound based on litterfall and basalt powder on the corn crop, in a comparison of physical and chemical soil changes, in order to search development based on the knowledge of nature and natural sources that offer the improvement in the growth of plants for the purpose of organic production. The soil applications were made with aqueous solutions—the mixture in % of the compound and the remainder of the water. Four concentrations (25, 50, 75 and 100% for a 500 ml measurement) of the organic compound and control with 500 ml of water was performed. A total of five corn plants were used for each dosage. The planting was done in lines of 5 plants for 5 dosages (5 × 5). The applications occurred in the pre-planting (directly in the soil, before receiving the seeds) and after every five days.

Published: September 2019

This paper deals with the study of the numerical approximation for the following semilinear equation with a nonlinear absorption term ut = uxx− λup, 0 < x < 1, t > 0, and a nonlinear flux boundary condition ux(0,t) = 0, ux(1,t) = uq(1,t), t > 0. We give conditions under which the positive semidiscrete solution blows up in a finite time. Convergence of the numerical blow-up time to the theoretical one when the mesh size goes to zero is established. Finally, we use an efficient algorithm to estimate the blow-up time.

The aim of the study was to investigate, which source of information about rural areas and agriculture village inhabitants prefer the most and how their choice has evaluated over the years. The literature on the subject, Statistics Poland reports (GUS reports) and “The Polish countryside and agriculture” reports issued between 2012 and 2018 were used to in this study. A min., 1,500 respondents from Poland took part in each and every empiric study, but in 2018 sampling was applied. The authors of the article used the comparative method to elaborate on the results of the study regarding the policy on media and information targeted to village residents. Research shows that, in the years 2012-2018, farmers’ and village inhabitants’ interests in new mass media-the Internet grew significantly, whereas their interests in television or radio broadcasts decreased. It has also been pointed out that the trend to read daily press and specialized papers increased. Village inhabitants (not a farmer) preferred daily press and journals, whereas farmers chose specialised press. In the future, it would be appropriate to extend the research by detailed information of online sources of information. It seems that farmers more often use Twitter or Facebook than dedicated online services as the quickest way to gain knowledge. Therefore, governmental entities should also invest in these communication channels and take care of content, updated information and graphic layout.
RETURN ON SOLAR CELL INVESTMENTS BASED ON A HUNGARIAN EXAMPLE

Solar cells are not only environmentally friendly, but save considerable electricity costs as well (namely, in this case, only maintenance costs have to be paid, the value of which is significantly lower than the price of electricity). The long term aim is for these energy sources to be applied and used by all macroeconomic actors (companies, households, the government and other institutions). Such cells can be introduced by applying for a considerable amount of investment subsidies at an EU level and in Hungary, as well. However, the ROI of this kind of undertaking is long term. The aim of this study is to examine whether a non-profit public institution would find it worthwhile to invest in this type of venture in the long term. Thus, the ROI of a solar cell investment was examined at a well-known environmentally public institution, at an abbey in Hungary. Data were provided by the abbey. From available data, ROI calculations were carried out and the approximate payback period was estimated. Calculations were carried out taking into account different scenarios. One part of the research focused on the inflation rate (there was a case where the inflation rate was ignored), in the other part, the cost of investment was taking into account in different ways. The payback period of solar cell investment is relatively short (11-13 years) in the case of EU or government subsidies, otherwise it is quite long (25-30 years).
