Authors: Morice Corentin , Artacho Emilio , Saxena Siddharth S.
Published: July 2016

Bi4O4S3 was the first superconductor discovered in the BiS2 family of novel superconductors. The subfamily of Bi-O-S systems now expanded andwas probed both theoretically and experimentally. Here we review the experimentalwork done on the Bi-O-S compounds, and compare it with theoretical results obtained using ab-initio methods. In particular we calculate the charge carrier density using an ab-initio calculated density of states, and find a really close agreement with experimental data.

Published: July 2016

OBJECTIVE:

To compare developmental outcomes of late preterm infants (34–36 weeks’ gestation) with infants born at early term (37–38 weeks’ gestation) and term (39–41 weeks’ gestation), from infancy through kindergarten.

METHODS:

Sample included 1000 late preterm, 1800 early term, and 3200 term infants ascertained from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort. Direct assessments of development were performed at 9 and 24 months by using the Bayley Short Form–Research Edition T-scores and at preschool and kindergarten using the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort reading and mathematics θ scores. Maternal and infant characteristics were obtained from birth certificate data and parent questionnaires. After controlling for covariates, we compared mean developmental outcomes between late preterm and full-term groups in serial cross-sectional analyses at each timepoint using multilinear regression, with pairwise comparisons testing for group differences by gestational age categories.

RESULTS:

With covariates controlled at all timepoints, at 9 months late preterm infants demonstrated less optimal developmental outcomes (T = 47.31) compared with infants born early term (T = 49.12) and term (T = 50.09) (P < .0001). This association was not seen at 24 months, (P = .66) but reemerged at preschool. Late preterm infants demonstrated less optimal scores in preschool reading (P = .0006), preschool mathematics (P = .0014), and kindergarten reading (P = .0007) compared with infants born at term gestation.

CONCLUSIONS:

Although late preterm infants demonstrate comparable developmental outcomes to full-term infants (early term and full-term gestation) at 24 months, they demonstrate less optimal reading outcomes at preschool and kindergarten timepoints. Ongoing developmental surveillance for late preterm infants is warranted into preschool and kindergarten.

Introduction: Rectal ultrasonography is a basic method for staging rectal cancer. Tissue changes after neoadjuvant treatment alter the accuracy of the method. Aim: The aim of the authors was to assess the accuracy of rectal ultrasonography after preoperative chemo-radiotherapy compared to the initial staging accuracy. Method: Rectal ultrasounds performed between 2006 and 2014 were assessed retrospectively. Ultrasonographic and pathological T and N stages were compared both in case of initial staging (control group) and re-staging. Results: T staging was accurate in 70% in the control group and in 61% in re-staging. Rate of overstaging was 31% after neoadjuvant treatment. None of the ypT0 cases were identified. N staging accuracy was 64% in the control group and 61% in re-staging. Conclusions: Neoadjuvant treatment impairs the accuracy of rectal ultrasound. The role of re-staging with rectal ultrasonography is debatable in the assessment of the efficacy of oncological treatment and surgical planning. Orv. Hetil., 2016, 157(30), 1193–1197.
A heterogén glikoproteinszerkezetek biológiai szerepe
Authors: Jakab Lajos
Published: July 2016

Carbohydrate molecules connected mostly with covalent junctions to protein chains are called glycoproteins. These carbohydrate molecules are attached to the protein core in different qualities and order. When the protein core is connected with acidic components such as uronic acid or SO4 radicals, they are called proteoglycans. The currently used name “glycosaminoglycan” in this case is not entirely correct. In the living world polymannane structures occur, too. Glycoproteins do not only exceptionally hold acidic groups but they have neuraminic acid derivatives. Tissue, cellular and matrix structures, and mostly all serum “proteins” are mainly glycoproteins. In the everyday clinical practice glycoproteins are mentioned as proteins. Nevertheless, the inadequate use of the concept may cause errors in the attitudes, too. This paper aims to correct this notion, because the term of “glycobiology” has already been expanded to be an independent scientific field. The practical clinical consequences of recent knowledge in this field are also summarized including novel findings on glycoprotein structures and functions. The importance of the quantity of carbohydrates, and their structural arrangements are also presented. In short, significance of glycoprotein-carbohydrate structures, as well as their physiological and pathological roles are reviewed in order to introduce the field of “glycobiology”. Orosomucoid and immunoglobulins are discussed separately. Orv. Hetil., 2016, 157(30), 1185–1192.

Published: July 2016

The objective of this study was to evaluate the primary stability of short and conventional dental implants with different platform types at different site densities in vitro. One hundred twenty implants were placed in polyurethane blocks that simulate different bone densities (bone types I and IV). The implants were divided into 10 groups, with 12 implants each according to the type of prosthetic connections (external hexagon, EH; morse taper, MT) and size of the implants (conventional: 4 × 10 mm; short: 5 × 5, 5.5 × 5, 5 × 6, and 5.5 × 6 mm). Insertion torque and resonance frequency analyses were performed to evaluate the primary stability. The Kruskal-Wallis test complemented by Dunn's test and the Mann-Whitney test were used for statistical analysis. These tests were applied at the confidence level of 95% (P < .05). The implants installed in blocks with density type IV exhibited reduced insertion torque compared with implants placed in blocks with density type I. Short implants with EH exhibited increased insertion torque compared with short implants with MT in blocks with bone density type I. In general, implants installed in blocks with density type I exhibited greater primary stability. The short implants with EH with a 5.5-mm diameter and the short implants with MT with a 5-mm diameter exhibited reduced primary stability. No differences between short and conventional implants were noted. Short implants have primary stability and insertion torque at least equivalent to conventional implants irrespective of the platform type and density of the site.
What do we know about the teaching of religiosity/spirituality in medical undergraduate curricula? An integrative review
Authors: Dalla Colletta de Aguiar Paulo Rogério , Cazella Silvio César , Costa Márcia Rosa da
Published: July 2016

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Background: There is general agreement between physicians and medical school faculty that health professionals should be aware and know how to deal with patient's spirituality. The spiritual dimension is being included in some University curricula, and a more humanistic health care approach is being advocated. Methods: An integrative review was conducted to gather information about spirituality research in medical undergraduate curricula. The major question to be answered is what we already know about the teaching of religiosity/spirituality (R/S) in medical curricula. Results: The final sample was composed of 21 articles, among which 16 were empirical studies and five were theoretical essays. Most of the publications were from the United States, followed by Brazil, United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia. Most of the students and teachers believe they must be prepared to address the issue spirituality with patients, despite a lack of consensus about contents, teaching methods and the best moment of teaching during the medical course. Conclusions: Teaching R/S is a developing process which is not yet a global phenomenon, as shown by the fact that publications of only a few countries are available. The subject is relevant and important as a curricular element in medical education, but needs further developments.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar parâmetros biológicos da lagarta-do-cartucho do milho (Spodoptera frugiperda), alimentada com híbridos de milho Bt, que expressam a toxina Cry 1A(b), e com seus respectivos isogênicos não Bt. Os experimentos foram realizados no laboratório da Embrapa Milho e Sorgo, em Sete Lagoas, MG. Os parâmetros avaliados foram: sobrevivência de larvas após 48 horas, sobrevivência da fase larval e pré-imaginal, biomassa de larvas aos 14 dias de idade, biomassa de pupas, período de desenvolvimento larval, e não preferência alimentar de larvas do primeiro ínstar. Larvas de S. frugiperda apresentam menor sobrevivência nas primeiras 48 horas de alimentação e durante toda a fase larval, na maioria dos híbridos de milho Bt, em comparação ao milho não Bt. A biomassa de larvas e pupas foi sempre menor no milho Bt, e o período larval e o pré-imaginal, maior. Houve interação entre a toxina Cry 1A(b) e a base genética dos híbridos transgênicos, quanto à sobrevivência e à biomassa larval. Larvas recém-eclodidas de S. frugiperda apresentam preferência pela alimentação em milho não Bt.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do espaçamento entre fileiras e da população de plantas sobre a produtividade e outras características agronômicas da mamoneira de porte baixo, para a colheita mecanizada, na safra de verão. O experimento foi realizado durante os anos agrícolas 2007/2008 e 2008/2009, em um Latossolo Vermelho distroférrico, em Botucatu, SP, com uso da cultivar FCA-PB. Utilizou-se o delineamento de blocos ao acaso com parcelas subdivididas e quatro repetições. As parcelas foram constituídas por quatro espaçamentos entre fileiras (0,45, 0,60, 0,75 e 0,90m), e as subparcelas por quatro populações iniciais de plantas (25.000, 40.000, 55.000 e 70.000 plantas por hectare). O aumento da população de plantas, independentemente do espaçamento entre fileiras, diminuiu a sobrevivência de plantas, o diâmetro do caule, o número de racemos por planta e de frutos por racemo. As maiores produtividades de grãos e de óleo da cultivar FCA-PB são obtidas com populações iniciais entre 55.000 e 70.000 plantas por hectare, nos espaçamentos entre fileiras de 0,45 a 0,75 m.

Published: July 2016

O objetivo deste trabalho foi selecionar o modelo de curvas de crescimento mais adequado e avaliar a influência de efeitos de ambiente e de grupo genético sobre os parâmetros estimados do modelo. Cinco modelos não lineares, Brody, Gompertz, Logístico, Von Bertalanffy e Richards, foram ajustados a dados de peso-idade coletados de 316 vacas, de quatro grupos genéticos: G (Nelore, ½Canchim + ½Nelore, ½Angus + ½Nelore e ½Simental + ½Nelore), do nascimento até 100 meses de idade; em duas estações do ano: E (primavera e outono). As vacas foram submetidas a dois níveis de concentrado (S) durante quatro meses, pós-desmama. O ajuste dos modelos foi realizado por mínimos quadrados ordinários, usando os pesos ponderado e não ponderado pelo inverso da variância. Os modelos Brody e Von Bertalanffy convergiram para todos os grupos genéticos; porém, o Brody foi o mais adequado. As estimativas do peso assintótico (A) e da taxa de maturação (k) do modelo Brody ponderado pelo inverso da variância foram analisadas por modelo misto, que incluiu efeito médio global e efeitos principais de G, E e S, e suas interações. O parâmetro A foi influenciado pelo efeito de G e E, enquanto k foi influenciado por S, o que indica que melhorias no manejo alimentar resultam em menor variação na forma das curvas de crescimento e em altas taxas de maturação.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos de intensidades de pastejo e de frequências de desfolha na demografia e densidade de perfilhos de capim-braquiária (Urochloa decumbens syn. Brachiaria decumbens) sob lotação intermitente. Foram avaliados duas intensidades de pastejo (5 e 10 cm de altura pós-pastejo) e duas frequências de desfolha (período de descanso até que o dossel atingisse 95 e 100% de interceptação luminosa, IL), de agosto de 2007 a agosto de 2008. Utilizou-se o delineamento inteiramente casualizado, em arranjo fatorial com quatro repetições. Avaliaram-se as densidades populacionais e as taxas de aparecimento e sobrevivência de perfilhos basais (DPPb, TAPb e TSPb, respectivamente) e aéreos+basais (DPPab, TAPab e TSPab). As maiores TAPb e TAPab, no outono, foram obtidas nos pastos desfolhados a 10 cm. Porém, no final da primavera e no verão, a intensidade de 5 cm resultou em maiores taxas, que promoveram maior DPPb. No verão, a TSPb foi maior para pastos manejados à intensidade de 10 cm. O manejo da pastagem que resulta em maiores DPPab, TAPab e TSPab, durante as épocas de rápido crescimento dos pastos, é o de 10 cm de intensidade de pastejo e 95% de IL de frequência de desfolha.
Predictability of Growth in Emerging Markets: Information in Financial Aggregates
Authors: Banegas Ayelen
Published: July 2016

This paper tests for predictability of output growth in a panel of 22 emerging market economies. We use pooled panel data methods that control for endogeneity and persistence in the predictor variables to test the predictive power of a large set of financial aggregates. Results show that stock returns, the term spread, default spreads and portfolio investment flows help predict output growth in emerging markets. We also find evidence that suggests that global aggregates such as the performance of commodity markets, a cross-sectional firm size factor, and returns on the market portfolio contain information about the future state of the economy. We benchmark our results against those from the U.S. and find that there are differences in the ability of financial markets in predicting economic growth. Our results generalize to emerging markets previous findings in the empirical macro-finance literature on the linkages between financial market performance and the real economy.
Electroencephalographic analysis of the functional conectivity in habituation by graphics theory
Authors:   , Alducin Castillo J.
Published: July 2016

The hypothesis that the brain works using glial-neuronal networks that are responsible for sensory, motor and cognitive processes has been proposed in the neuroscience literature. Graph theory offers mathematical models to describe these complex networks from simple abstractions such as nodes and connecting edges. In this work, using signal processing techniques to the analysis of functional connectivity between neuronal ensembles derived from EEG measurements through theory graph. Procedures for the analysis of connectivity are described, from multichannel record processing and conditioning, computation of wideband power spectral density, determination of connectivity measures between electrodes, and parameter estimation of the resulting complex networks. EEG recordings from fifty subjects were analyzed in intervals before (pre) and during repeated photostimulation (Rph). Based on the statistical significance of the response during Rph, desynchronization/synchronization (D/S) in alfa band, and its wide distribution in cortical areas, the participants were divided into three groups: G1 , G2 and G3. The slope D/S in alfa band was significant in 16 of 16 regions (G1), 12 of 16 (G2) and 5 of 16 (G3). The functional connectivity depicted the same trend as these changes, whereas in the delta, theta and beta bands occurred no modifications. D is related to activation and S with inhibition, supporting the hypothesis of alfa-band’s participation in the cognitive process of habituation to photostimulation.

Authors: Ritschel Robert , JÄkel Jens , Schulze Rico
Published: July 2016

Die Regelung von Radialverdichtern ist ein anspruchsvolles Problem, das entscheidend durch die Nichtlinearität der Regelstrecke, häufige Arbeitspunktwechsel und zu berücksichtigende Begrenzungen geprägt wird. Der Beitrag stellt ein modellbasiertes Regelungskonzept vor, bei dem die üblicherweise eingesetzte, konventionelle Verdichterregelung um eine nichtlineare Vorsteuerung erweitert wird. Hierdurch lässt sich das Führungs- und Störverhalten der Verdichterregelung verbessern. Die Erprobung an einem Versuchsstand demonstriert die Leistungsfähigkeit des Konzepts.
CIM, Industrie 4.0 und der Weg zur Semantik
Authors: Rolle Ingo
Published: July 2016

Für die erfolgreiche Umsetzung von Industrie 4.0 stellt eine sinnvolle und praktikable Normung ein unverzichtbares Element dar. Der Weg der Normung sollte geplant werden – aber es steht zu erwarten, dass unerwartete Hindernisse auftauchen und völlig neue Situationen schaffen werden. Lässt sich prognostizieren, in welchen Bereichen die größten Hürden auftauchen werden? Dieser Beitrag versucht, darauf Antworten zu geben, indem er Parallelen zur normungstechnischen Geschichte des Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) aufzeigt, das seine Ursprünge in den 1980er-Jahren hat. Es wird gezeigt, aus welchen Fehlern der CIM-Ära wir für die aktuelle Normungsarbeit lernen können, welche Ansätze übertragbar sind und wo komplettes Neuland betreten werden muss.

Published: July 2016

Der kollaborativen Auftragsbearbeitung kommt in modernen Produktionsanlagen eine wachsende Bedeutung zu. Eine fragmentierte, proprietäre und hochspezialisierte Softwarelandschaft hemmt diese Kollaboration erheblich. Isolierte, technologisch oder semantisch inkompatible Informationsräume erschweren die Nutzung der vorhandenen Information über die Anlage. Konzeptuell und gestalterisch inkonsistente oder gar inkompatible, nicht interoperable Benutzungsschnittstellen (HMI) erschweren die Interaktion mit den Softwarewerkzeugen und den Personen in der Anlage. Die aspektorientierte HMI-Adaptation auf Basis integrierter Informationsund Interaktionsräume kann, wie dieser Beitrag zeigt, diese Hemmnisse beseitigen und wesentlich zur Wirtschaftlichkeit der Produktion beitragen.

Este estudo demonstrou os impactos ambientais envolvidos durante a execução de três cores em tecidos de malha de algodão 100% com corantes reativos. As cores desenvolvidas foram as da Bandeira Brasileira, Amarelo, Verde e Azul. A diferença (E*) entre as amostras desenvolvidas e os padrões não ultrapassou 2, valor de desvio aceitável dentro dos limites atuais exigidos no mercado de confecções. Demonstrou-se que, pelos processos convencionais, o gasto de água para o tingimento de 1 kg de tecido nas cores estudadas é muito grande, oitenta litros para cada quilograma beneficiado. Além do alto volume de água consumido, são gastos, em média, 2,04•106 J de energia elétrica, 6,41•106 J de energia térmica, 1,36•10-2 m3 de gás natural e, consequentemente, são lançados 2,19•10-3 kg de CO2 na atmosfera.

Platelet‐Rich Fibrin With 1.2% Rosuvastatin for Treatment of Intrabony Defects in Chronic Periodontitis: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Authors: Pradeep A.R. , Garg Vibhuti , Kanoriya Dharmendra , Singhal Sandeep
Published: July 2016

Background: Regenerative periodontal therapy encompasses use of various bioactive agents that are not only inflammomodulatory but also osteoclast‐inhibitory or, rather, osteostimulative. Hypolipidemic statin drugs, particularly rosuvastatin (RSV), are known to be associated with alveolar bone formation and periodontal improvements. Platelet analogs such as platelet‐rich fibrin (PRF), being rich sources of growth factors, have also come into widespread periodontal regenerative use. The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare efficacy of open flap debridement (OFD) with or without PRF or PRF + 1.2% RSV gel in treatment of intrabony defects (IBDs) in patients with chronic periodontitis (CP).

Methods: Ninety individuals with a total of 90 IBDs were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: 1) OFD alone; 2) OFD + PRF; and 3) OFD + PRF + 1.2% RSV gel placement. Measurements recorded at baseline and 9 months after surgery were: 1) plaque index (PI); 2) modified sulcus bleeding index (mSBI); 3) probing depth (PD); 4) clinical attachment level (CAL); and 5) IBD depth.

Results: Significant PI and mSBI reductions were observed in all three groups. PRF placement significantly enhanced improvements in periodontal parameters compared with OFD alone. Addition of 1.2% RSV gel to PRF resulted in significantly greater CAL gain and PD and IBD depth reductions over 9 months compared with other groups.

Conclusion: OFD with RSV (1.2%) and PRF results in significantly greater periodontal benefits compared with OFD alone or with PRF.

The estuaine environment are dynamic and they are  the intermediate zone between the marine and fresh water regions.  This makes the estuarine  region  more dynamic  in physical and chemical characteristic. These regions serves as a passage for  the continental  materials reach the marine environment.  Because of the influence of fresh water and marine water this regions the depositional systems are dynamic and complex in nature. Despite the complexity of the of the environment, the textural analsysis and interpretation of the same provides insight into the prevailing deposition environment.  The present study are carried out in the Uppar Estuary which joins with Bay of Bengal on the east coast of India. The Sedimentological analysis indicates that sediments  most of the locations the sediments are very poorly to well sorted  with mean size ranging from 1.03 to 5.97φ. The skewness value  ranged from  -0.09 to 0.48. The kurtosis varies form 0.94 to 1.54 The seasonal variations  within the station are conspicuous. This indicates the sediment distribution pattern in controlled by the  marine  as well monsoon rainfall  in this region.
Bilateral Investment Treaty Negotiations between India and U.S: Problems and Prospects
Authors: Kumar Rajesh
Published: July 2016

Relationship between U.S. and India is at the best phase, especially after former unequivocal support in NSG (Nuclear Supply Group) and helping inclusion in MTCR (Missile Technology Control Regime). The relationship between two oldest and biggest democracies has matured under the headship of Mr. Barak Obama as President and Mr. Nardendra Modi as prime minister. In the recent visit of Indian prime minister, the warm gesture shown by U.S. congress members have further cemented the strength of tie up between two nations. However, despite great chemistry between two nation and its leaders from last many years, both have failed to enter into Bilateral Investment Treaty. India is having Bilateral Investment treaty with more than 80 countries including U.K. and Russia, of which 72 treaties are operational. [1]  U.S. is having Bilateral Investment treaties with more than 46  countries including Russia and Bangladesh.[2] Since 2008, the two countries have been engaged in sporadic discussions to conclude the Investment treaty. Negotiations on its wording, based on each country’s revised model treaty texts, will begin soon. Both the leaders Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S President Barack Obama affirmed their mutual commitment to facilitating increased bilateral investment flows and fostering an open and predictable climate for investment many a times , But consensus has not been reached till today on certain term and conditions.   In the absence of BIT , the rights of investors of both the countries are at the stake. Further, MFN or nationality treatment clause cannot be invoked or granted in the event of any regulatory or other action. Obligations imposed by BIT to protect interest of foreign investors are absent.

Understanding School Feeding Programmes in India and Tamil Nadu in addressing Classroom Hunger
Authors: Arumugam Anbu
Published: July 2016

Despite primary schooling being universally recognized as a public good, with a direct impact on economic growth, one billion people in the world – on in six – are illiterate, and 104 million of the world’s children were out of school in the year 2013 (United Nations Economic, Social, and Cultural Organization [UNESCO] 2013). Over third of the world’s illiterates are in India. India’s population of illiterates is larger than that of any other country in the world – at least 350 million people, according to 2011 Census of India. In other words, more than one in three illiterate persons on the planet is an Indian and India’s population of illiterates in 2010 was larger than the total population of the country in 1947. Well-designed and effectively implemented social protection programmes are essential for ensuring access to food and comprehensively addressing the problem of malnutrition. These programmes are non-contributory and sharply targeted programmes that focus on the poor and vulnerable sections of the population. Among many social protection programmes in India there are two broad categories specifically targeted for the poor and closely related to food security and nutrition. These are (i) Public Distribution System and Supplementary Nutrition Programmes and (ii) Rural Wage Employment Programme. The Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) and the Mid-Day Meal Scheme (MDMS) are two major initiatives for improving the level of nutrition.

Published: July 2016

India’s family planning programs have historically focused on limiting the number of children but in recent years focus has shifted from limiting births to increased spacing between children, especially among young couples on contraceptive acceptance in the post-partum period. This paper examines the behavior of couples in India on acceptance of contraceptives during the postpartum period by using data from the National Family Health Survey-3 (NFHS-3, 2005-06) and from a small scale survey in state of Chhattisgarh in India.

 

According to the data, approximately 75 percent of women with children under a year and 83 percent of women with children under six months’ old reported not using any contraception. Only 0.9 percent of postpartum women reported acceptance of intrauterine contraceptive devices. The primary reasons cited for not using contraception were breast feeding (27.5 percent) and postpartum amenorrhea (16.9 percent). Education and wealth index and program factor specially interaction with health workers during post-partum period and institutional delivery had a significant effect on acceptance of contraceptives during the postpartum period. Achieving one’s desired family size also positively influenced women’s acceptance of family size soon after delivery. Small scale survey in Chhattisgarh also suggested that acceptance of family planning to space children is not high.

Published: July 2016

The study was carried out to investigate the effect of gonadotropin hormone supplementation into in vitro maturation medium on maturation, fertilization and embryo development of Bligon goats. This research steps consist of oocyte collection, in vitro maturation, in vitro fertilization, and in vitro embryo development. At the maturation stage the oocyte that had been collected and divided into two groups based on the maturation medium, that was tissue culture medium (TCM) with supplementation of GnRH 0 IU/mL and GnRH 25 IU/mL. Oocyte and embryo morphology data were analyzed descriptively. Maturation rate and embryo development data were analyzed by using independent sample t-test. Fertilization data was analyzed descriptively. The result showed the percentages of mature oocytes from gonadotropin supplementation of 0 IU/mL and 25 IU/mL were 54.10±25.97 and 54.89±26.44%, respectively. Expansion cumulus cells surrounding the oocytes might indicated the mature oocytes. Cleavage rate of the 2 cells stage were 13,02±11,09 and 27,01±16,65%; respectively, and for the 4 cells stage were 10,16±10,01% and 16,67±14.91%. Embryos obtained from the treatment, indicated uniform of blastomeres in the size, tight, compact, intact, and round-spherical shape. It could be concluded that supplementation of gonadotropin hormone into in vitro maturation medium could not increase the rate of oocyte maturation and 4 cell embryo development, but it could increase 2 cell embryo development of Bligon goats. Hormone supplementation could improved the maturation and embryo quality.
Evaluation of the possibilities for stream restoration: preassessment of the Váli-stream (Hungary)
Authors: Boromisza Zsombor , Illyés Zsuzsanna , Gergely Attila , Mészáros Szilvia , Monspart-Molnár Zsófia
Published: July 2016

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential of restoration of a stream section. The starting point of the multiple-step assessment process was a historical analysis, which resulted in the definition of different sections within the study area, providing a base for the further restoration goals. The assessment of the current conditions was elaborated particularly to determine those factors, which could limit restoration. These assessments cover the land use pattern, furthermore the analysis of vegetation and habitat patches. As a result of the historical analysis, it has been found that the stream side habitat patches have decreased significantly despite the constant space available. This change was not caused by the increased area of the settlement, but rather by the higher dominancy of arable forms of land use. The greatest share of wet and mesic meadows and agricultural habitats in the study areas, covering 57.5% of the total area, indicates significant anthropogenic effects. Consequently it can be stated that the reference conditions are not the only determining factors of the restoration possibilities. Restoration style and intensity have been defined on basis of all assessed factors.

Published: July 2016

The Li-ion batteries are the main power source for the high technology devices, such as mobile phones and electric vehicles. Because of that, the number of spent Li-ion batteries significantly increases. Today, the number of active mobile phones crossed 7.19 billion. It is estimated that the mass of the spent lithium ion batteries in China will exceed 500,000 t by 2020. The trouble is in the ingredients of these batteries. They contain Li, Co, Mn, Ni, Cu, Al and toxic and flammable electrolytes which have a harmful affection to the environment. Because of that, the recycling procedure attracts raising attention of researches. Several commercial spent Li-ion batteries were recycled by the relatively fast, economic and simple procedure. The three ways of separating the cathode material from Al collector were examined after the manual dismantling of the components of batteries with the Li(Co?Mn?Ni)O2 as cathode material. These were: 1. dissolution of the Al collector in the alkali medium, 2. peeling off with N-methylpyrrolidone and 3. thermal decomposition of the adhesive at 700?C. The procedure with the highest yield was the one with the dissolution in alkali medium. The chemical analysis of the single batteries'' components (the crust, Al/Cu collector, cathode material) were done by the atomic absorption spectrometry. The components, before the analysis, were dissolved. The re-synthesis of the cathode material by the method of the citrate gel combustion was done after the separating the cathode material and dissolving it in the nitric acid. The obtained product was, after annealing, characterized by the methods of X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The recycled product was LiCo0.59Mn0.26Ni0.15O2 stoichiometry, with the hexagonal layered structure ?-NaFeO2 type. The functionalization of the resynthesized material was examined in the 1 M solution LiClO4 in the propylene carbonate, by galvanostatic charging, with the current density of 0.7C. The recycled material showed relatively good capacities of charging and discharging which are 94.9 i 64.8 mA h g?1, respectively.

Published: July 2016

5V spinel LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode is prepared by traditional solid-state
method and nano-Cu particles were derived from a chemical reduction process.
The effect of Cu-coating on the electrochemical performances of
LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cells, in a wide operation temperature range (-10?C, 25?C, 60?C),
is investigated systematically by the charge/discharge testing, cyclic
voltammograms and impedance spectroscopy, respectively. The results
demonstrate that the modified material exhibits remarkably enhanced
electrochemical reversibility and stability. Cu-coated material has much
lower surface and charge transfer resistances and shows a higher lithium
diffusion rate. The Cu coating layer as a highly efficient lithium ion
conductor, acted as a highly efficient protector to restrain the contact
loss.
The Determinants of Firm-Specific Corporate Governance Arrangements, IFRS Adoption, and the Informativeness of Accounting Reports: Evidence from Brazil
Authors: Lopes Alexsandro Broedel , Walker Martin , da Silva Ricardo Luiz Menezes
Published: July 2016

In this study we investigate the complementary effect of firm-level incentives and IFRS adoption on the informativeness of accounting reports in Brazil. Using a specially constructed corporate governance index—Brazilian Corporate Governance Index (BCGI)—we show that the quality of corporate governance is linked to the growth opportunities firms face. Consistent with the argument that accounting numbers are essential elements of corporate governance arrangements, we show that improvements in corporate governance are associated with economically material and statistically significant improvements in indicators of accounting quality. We also show that corporate governance quality and accounting quality are also positively affected by cross-listing, although cross-listing is not the only driver of either of these quality choices. Our results also show that IFRS adoption leads to an increase in the informativeness of accounting reports in Brazil, especially for firms that do not possess the ex ante incentives to produce high-quality financial statements.
