Authors: Mao Xi , Zhang Jiehao , Tang Kai , Zhao Weiyang
Published: July 2019

This paper presented results of a numerical study on seven designs of T shape fishways. The trajectory equation of the maximum velocity line and the V/Va equation of the T shape fishways were obtained from the results. It was found that a width of 1.5bs for the T lateral baffle, a width of 5bs and a length of 6.25bs for the pools were very satisfactory for the dimensional design of T shape fishways, where bs was the slot width. From the seven designs studied, design 3 (D3, D denotes “design”) was recommended for practical use.
MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION OF SUPPORTING PLAN FOR DEEP FOUNDATION USING ENTROPY-BASED UM-DEA
Authors: Huawang Shi , Jingkun Du , Jing Yang
Published: July 2019

In regard to optimize the supporting plan of deep foundation pit, this paper used the unascertained measurement (UM) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) to conduct. In order to determine the relationship between influencing factors and the best bid plan, an evaluation model for deep foundation pit support schemes based on UM was developed. First, the information entropy (IE) was introduced to determine the weight of discriminant indices which consider the confidence identification criteria as the judgment principle of evaluation. Then, the optimal solution from all feasible support schemes was investigated. Finally, Fuzzy comprehension assessment- data envelopment analysis (FCA-DEA) was utilized to analyse the effectiveness of design plans, which was evaluated by UME subsequently. Applicability of the proposed UM-DEA model was tested with four real design cases of foundation projects. Results compared with other methods have shown the developed model is useful for concept design and decision making of supporting plan for deep foundation.

A comparison of second-order model order reduction methods for an artificial fishtail
Authors: Saak Jens , Siebelts Dirk , Werner Steffen W. R.
Published: July 2019

In order to apply control theory in small autonomous vehicles, mathematical models with small numbers of states are required for using the limited computational power in embedded programming. In this paper, we consider an artificial fishtail as an example for a complex mechanical system with a second-order large-scale model, which is derived by using the finite element method. To meet the above limitations, the several hundreds of thousands of degrees of freedom need to be reduced to merely a handful of surrogate degrees of freedom.

We seek to achieve this task by various second-order model order reduction methods. All methods are applied on the fishtail’s matrices and their results are evaluated and compared in the frequency domain as well as in the time domain.
Do School Counselors Exhibit Bias in Recommending Students for Advanced Coursework?
Authors: Francis Dania V. , de Oliveira Angela C. M. , Dimmitt Carey
Published: July 2019

In this paper, we seek to understand minority and female underrepresentation in advanced STEM courses in high school by investigating whether school counselors exhibit racial or gender bias during the course assignment process. Using an adapted audit study, we asked a sample of school counselors to evaluate student transcripts that were identical except for the names on the transcripts, which were varied randomly to suggestively represent a chosen race and gender combination. Our results indicate that black female students were less likely to be recommended for AP Calculus and were rated as being the least prepared. Our results have policy implications for any program that asks individuals to make recommendations that may be subject to bias – whether conscious or unconscious.
Influence of sub-inhibitory concentration of selected plant essential oils on the physical and biochemical properties of Pseudomonas orientalis
Authors: Leja Katarzyna , Drożdżyńska Agnieszka , Majcher Małgorzata , Kowalczewski Przemysław Łukasz , Czaczyk Katarzyna
Published: July 2019

Plant essential oils have bacteriostatic activity in very low concentrations, thus they can be used as natural preservative in food products. The aim of this work was to understand the inhibitory and non-bactericidal effects of essential oils in low concentrations. To meet this aim some physical and biochemical properties of two P. orientalis strains isolated from food probes were investigated under the influence of plant oils. Control probes - without oils - played an important role in our investigations because P. orientalis is not a well-known and described species. Thus, these results allow us to gain additional knowledge about bacteria from P. orientalis species. The obtained results are proof that under the influence of oils, bacteria lose their ability to move, change their morphology, and also reduce their metabolic activity. However, they do not die, and properties such as the ability to produce ammonia, the ability to production of indole from the amino acid tryptophan as well as the ability to assimilation of saccharides are maintained.

Copulas, stable tail dependence functions, and multivariate monotonicity
Authors: Ressel Paul
Published: July 2019

For functions of several variables there exist many notions of monotonicity, three of them being characteristic for resp. distribution, survival and co-survival functions. In each case the “degree” of monotonicity is just the basic one of a whole scale.

Copulas are special distribution functions, and stable tail dependence functions are special co-survival functions. It will turn out that for both classes the basic degree of monotonicity is the only one possible, apart from the (trivial) independence functions. As a consequence a “nesting” of such functions depends on particular circumstances. For nested Archimedean copulas the rather restrictive conditions known so far are considerably weakened.
Thermo-vacuum treatment of poplar (Populusspp.) plywood
Authors: Zanuttini Roberto , Castro Gaetano , Cremonini Corrado , Negro Francesco , Palanti Sabrina
Published: July 2019

Poplar cultivation is enduring a long-lasting crisis in Italy, but it is still playing a relevant role in the Italian and European wood sectors. To improve its prospects, the manufacturers of poplar plywood have recently activated various strategies to make it a distinguished panel with specific performances. In this frame, thermo-treatment could open new applications and markets. The present study investigates the physico-mechanical properties of thermo-treated poplar plywood. For this purpose, panels were manufactured with urea-melamine-formaldehyde adhesive, both in a standard mixture and added with resorcinol. They were then treated by the Termovuoto®process at 170, 190 and 210°C for 2 h. Changes in density, bonding quality, bending strength, modulus of elasticity, color and durability related to the aforementioned temperatures were investigated. Overall, the bonding quality of treated panels complied with the requirements of EN 314-1 and 2; bending strength and modulus of elasticity decreased, color darkened and durability increased. The latter is particularly important, because poplar wood is not durable and this process makes it suitable for use in humid conditions, offering new prospects for poplar plywood applications.
Experimental results of multipath behavior for GPS L1-L2 and Galileo E1-E5b in static and kinematic scenarios
Authors: Avram Alexandra , Schwieger Volker , El Gemayel Noha
Published: July 2019

Current trends like Autonomous Driving (AD) increase the need for a precise, reliable, and continuous position at high velocities. In both natural and man-made environments, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals suffer challenges such as multipath, attenuation, or loss-of-lock. As Highway Assist and Highway Pilot are AD next steps, multipath knowledge is necessary for this typical user-case and kinematic situations.

This paper presents a multipath performance analysis for GPS and Galileo satellites in static, slow, and high kinematic scenarios. The data is provided from car test-drives in both controlled and unrestricted, near-natural environments. The Code-Minus-Carrier (CMC) and cycle-slip implementations are validated with measurement data from consecutive days. Multipath statistical models based on satellite elevation are evaluated for the three investigated scenarios. Static models derived from the car setup measurements for GPS L1, L2 and Galileo E1 and E5b show a good agreement with a state-of-the-art model as well as the enhanced Galileo signals performance. Slow kinematic multipath results in a controlled environment showed an improvement for both navigation systems compared to the static measurements at the same place. This result is confirmed by static and slow kinematic multipath simulations with the same GNSS receiver. Post-processing analysis on highway measurements revealed a bigger multipath bias, compared to the open-sky static and slow kinematic measurement campaigns. Although less critical as urban or rural, this indicates the presence of multipath in this kind of environment as well. The impact of different parameters, including receiver architecture and Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are analyzed and discussed. Differential position (DGNSS) based on code is computed for each epoch and compared against GNSS/INS integrated position for all three measurement campaigns. The most significant 3D absolute error occurs where the greatest multipath envelope is found.
Es streite, wer kann! Ein neuer Rekonstruktions- und Interpretationversuch für das sumerische Schulstreitgespräch ‚Dialog 1‘

Published: July 2019

Abtract

On the basis of the recent edition of Dialogue 1 by J. C. Johnson and M. J. Geller (2015), this article offers a revised text reconstruction as well as a differing interpretation of the text and its protagonists. The interpretation of Dialogue 1 as a verbal contest between two schoolboys of rather unequal rhetorical proficiency is based on a rhetorical analysis of the dialogue and a more systematic contextualisation within the corpus of Sumerian literary disputations and related compositions.
Der Kalenderbucheintrag als kommunikative Praktik älterer Schreiber/-innen
Authors: Walther Diana
Published: July 2019

Although some research on the spoken language and conversational behaviour of older people was conducted in Germany between the late 1990 s and the middle of the noughties, the interest in this field seems to have decreased over the last ten years with studies focusing on written texts produced by older people being virtually non-existent. In contrast to the German-speaking context, Anglo-American research on writing by older adults has flourished since the late 1980 s. This study therefore aims to close a research gap by focusing on writing in German in old(er) age and discusses the specific text genre of calendar entries written by older people. The calendar entries are analysed focusing on text-internal and text-external aspects, such as structure, contents, linguistic features and functional aspects.
The Kinetics and Equilibrium Thermodynamics Study on the Removal of Direct Blue and Titan Yellow Dyes from Aqueous Media by Modified Rice Husk Char
Authors: Malik Abdul , Khan Abbas , Shah Nasrullah , Khan Muhammad Sufaid
Published: July 2019

The use of indigenous natural materials and their modification toward fruitful application is one of the important subjects. Thermal modification of Rice Husk at 400 oC resulted into Rice Husk Char (RHC) which was chemically modified with KOH and was labeled as KOH Modified Rice Husk Char (KMRHC). Both RHC and KMRHC were characterized by using, Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-rays (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) before and after their use as adsorbents. The prepared material was applied for the removal of toxic dyes, Direct Blue (DB) and Titan Yellow (TY) from aqueous media. The maximum adsorption capacity of DB and TY dyes on KMRHC were inspected as 30.9 mg/g and 28.6 mg/g, respectively at pH 4 using initial dye concentrations of 80 mg/L containing 2500 mg/L of the adsorbent dose with agitation speed of 240 rpm at 303 K. At the same experimental conditions the highest percentage removal of DB and TY on the adsorbent were observed as 96.6% and 89.3%, respectively. Thermodynamics studies of the adsorption of DB and TY dyes on KMRHC inferred for exothermic and spontaneous process. The value of ΔS is negative which suggested that randomness decreases at the interface of adsorbent-adsorbate during the adsorption. The kinetics study indicated that the experimental data of the adsorption process for both dyes, best fits to pseudo-second order kinetic model. The equilibrium data was tested on Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin adsorption isotherm models. It was observed that the data are best fit to the Langmuir isotherm model (R2 > 0.99), which suggested that the adsorption process is dominated by chemisorption approach. The overall results suggest that various parameters of the adsorption process were not only affected by the variation in experimental conditions but also by the chemical structure of the adsorbate molecules for the same adsorbent.
Boosfeld, Kristin, Die beiden Statutenlehren Geschichte eines rechtshistorischen Missverständnisses
Authors: Boosfeld Kristin
Published: July 2019

The two theories of statuta, History of a misunderstanding. Most German legal historians have heard of a late medieval theory of statuta. However, different views exist as to the content of this theory. Some view it as a theory providing rules on which of several conflicting local laws to apply. Others, in contrast, understand it as a theory on the relation of local laws with the (Roman) common law. The roots of this ambivalence go back to the work of the controversial legal historian Franz Wieacker who used the terminology of theory of statuta for a different phenomenon than his colleagues all over Europe at the time.

BACKGROUND Echinococcus granulosis is a parasitic infection most commonly involving the liver. Iran is a hyperendemic area for this disease according to WHO. Despite improvements in medical and interventional radiological techniques, surgery remains the gold standard of treatment; however evidence on different surgical modalities were explained. Considering the high population of referring patients presenting to Omid and Ghaem Hospitals, Mashhad, Iran, we decided to compare the complications of our modified technique with routine technique in hydatid cyst surgery. METHODS 56 patients with hydatid cyst of the liver who underwent modified and routine surgical treatment in Ghaem and Omid Hospitals Mashhad, Iran were studied during Aug 2013- Nov 2015. 27 patients underwent modified surgical technique, whereas the remaining 27 patients were treated by using routine surgical method. These two groups of patients were compared with each other according to their postoperative length of hospital stay and resulting complications. RESULTS The mean age of our patients was 41 years. 27 patients were male and 29 were female. Our results showed no statistically significant difference regarding the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups. However, mean length of hospital stay was significantly different between the groups (4.5 ± 1.87 and 7.6 ± 2.25 days, respectively, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The method of modified surgery with closed cyst drainage, which does not use external drains, is a safe surgical modality in the treatment of hydatid cyst disease of the liver if applied properly on appropriate patients.
Modeling Tropical Diversity in the Undergraduate Classroom: Novel Curriculum to Engage Students in Authentic Scientific Practices

Published: July 2019

A feature of science is its production of evidence-based explanations. Scientific models can both provide causal explanations and be predictive of natural phenomena. Modeling-based inquiry (MBI) is a pedagogical strategy that promotes students' deep learning about phenomena via engagement in authentic scientific practices. Some university instructors have begun to facilitate MBI in their courses, notably those aimed at aspiring K–12 science educators who, per the Next Generation Science Standards, are encouraged to implement MBI. Yet exploration of curriculum and teaching with MBI in postsecondary environments is scarce. We detail a novel MBI curriculum implemented in a postsecondary ecology course that included students interested in future careers in education. The curriculum engages students in modeling why there is greater biological diversity in tropical than in temperate regions. This biological phenomenon continues to be of great interest to the scientific community. We briefly detail how the curriculum impacted students' understanding of participation in aspects of scientific practices and their comfort with facilitating MBI.
Understanding the Role of Diffusion in Synaptic Transmission through Inquiry-Based Learning & Quantitative Reasoning
Authors: Zupanc Günther K. H.
Published: July 2019

The elucidation of the principal features of chemical synaptic transmission has been one of the great achievements in the history of neuroscience, yet students have significant difficulties developing a deeper understanding of the underlying concept. This is particularly true for the role that diffusion of neurotransmitters across the synaptic cleft plays in this process. At least part of the learning problem is due to an erroneous view of diffusion as a slow process, and to an inability to apply the concepts of size and scale to the synapse and its structural components. To overcome these difficulties, a structured/guided inquiry activity, combined with quantitative reasoning tasks, is described for teaching chemical synaptic transmission as part of undergraduate biology or neuroscience courses. Through this activity, students familiarize themselves with the absolute and relative dimensions of the structural components of synapses; use data from morphometric and schematic models of synapses to estimate the time it takes a neurotransmitter to diffuse across the synaptic cleft; and evaluate how this process relates to synaptic delay and generation of a sufficiently high concentration of transmitter molecules for activation of postsynaptic receptors.
Using Retrospective Research Questions & Database Mining as a Basis for an Inquiry-Based Lab in an Undergraduate Human Physiology Course
Authors: Cozine Cassy
Published: July 2019

Collecting meaningful data in an undergraduate human physiology lab course can be difficult for a variety of reasons. I describe a way of creating an inquiry-based, semester-long project that allows students practice in designing retrospective research questions using a large database containing common physiology data. The database generated during this project has the capability of adding new participants each semester the course is taught. This approach can be used with a variety of different physiology acquisition systems and can easily be specialized for the learning outcomes of a given physiology laboratory course.

Published: July 2019

This work evaluates the inhibitory effect of ethanolic extract of propolis (EEP) on

the corrosion of AISI 409 stainless steel (SS) in chloride media. Additions of 100, 200, and 500 μL of EEP in an aqueous sodium chloride solution were performed. The inhibitory effect on the SS was evaluated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements up to 720 hours in immersion. EEP additions of 200 μL and 500 μL increased the polarization resistance of the SS. After 720 hours of immersion, the highest impedance was identified for the SS in solution with 500 μL of EEP. The maximum inhibition efficiency observed for addition of 500 μL of EEP in solution was 98.1 %, after 360 h of immersion.
Os pronomes clíticos em contextos infinitivos no português antigo
Authors: Pereira Sandra
Published: July 2019

O fenómeno da subida do clítico é amplamente referido na literatura como uma propriedade dos complexos verbais seja na construção de reestruturação (Rizzi 1982) seja na construção Fazer-Inf (Kayne 1975). Através de um estudo quantitativo a partir de três textos literários, este trabalho tem como objetivo descrever a colocação dos pronomes clíticos em português antigo. São inspecionados dois contextos específicos: i) complexos verbais de reestruturação (para identificar quais os verbos que a permitiam em português antigo) e ii) orações de infinitivo simples e flexionado preposicionadas (para verificar se a preposição é determinante para a posição do clítico, partindo das assunções feitas por Martins 1994 de que, ao longo do século XIII e na primeira metade do XIV, havia instabilidade no padrão de colocação dos pronomes clíticos). No final, verificar-se-á que o padrão de colocação dos pronomes clíticos nas orações de infinitivo simples introduzidas por preposição contribui para a clarificação da fidelidade das cópias tardias de dois textos originais do século XIII.

Primary lymphoma of a peripheral nerve is a very rare condition with only a few cases reported in the medical literature. Primary lymphoma of a peripheral nerve in the upper extremity was reported in only four cases in the English and French literature. We present a case of a 54-year-old man, in good health, without other medical conditions, who came to our unit complaining of paraesthesia in the ulnar territory of the hand. MRI investigation showed a mass situated in the ulnar nerve sheaths, in the lower third of the arm. Surgical exploration and excision were performed. Morphopathological results revealed a very uncommon tumor, a large B cell diffuse non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the second primary ulnar nerve lymphoma presented in the literature.

Early diagnosis and a better understanding of the pathogenesis of these tumors may change medical and surgical strategies, with further enhancement of survival rates.

Food is one of should contain nutrient adequacy of the primary needs for human life consisting of healthy and nutritious consumption patterns. The daily food consumption for societies calories, proteins, and vitamins. Consumption is usually gained from staple foods containing much carbohydrates, such as rice and tubers. Meanwhile, proteins are derived from plants and animals while vitamins are obtained from the consumption of fresh fruits. Fruits are source of vitamin that has many benefits for health. Free trade leads to the invasion of imported fruit on the market over time. With the physical qualities, different tastes, and more reasonable prices, some consumers switch to select non-local fruit consumptions. This behavior indicates the person’s perception and the preference shift to consume local fruits. The research was performed in the industrial area in North Jakarta, with the consideration that this place is as the center of industrial activity with the highest productivity value in Jakarta, and the potency as the strategic region bordering with Tanjung Priok port which becomes the center of import-export commodities, especially fruits.

Published: July 2019

We analyze the interaction of antineutrinos with water particle in electrochemical detectors. We postulate that some biological products generate a scalar auxiliary field B0 which breaks low-energy antineutrinos into boson vb and fermion v f particles. Low-energy anti neutrinos are suggested to interact with water molecules and produce output currents. We examine the output current of neutrino interactions in the electrochemical apparatus with chemical-reaction equations and half-cell model under postulated influence of weak interaction. The environmental neutrino is analysed. The output currents are treated to be generated by hydrogen ion and oxygen with the half-cell model with inclusion of weak interaction effect on hydrooxide ion recombination.

Setelah dianalisis diperoleh kesimpulan: (1) Sistem tataniaga ubi jalar yang ada di Desa Purwasari adalah: 1 : petani-pedagang pengumpul tingkat 1-pabrik tepung. 2 : petani-pedagang pengumpul tingkat 1-pedagang pengumpul tingkat 2-pedagang grosir-pedagang pengecer-konsumen. 3 : petani-pedagang pengumpul tingkat 1-pedagang pengumpul tingkat 2-pedagang grosir-konsumen. Fungsi tataniaga yang dilakukan oleh petani, pedagang pengumpul tingkat 1, pedagang pengumpul tingkat 2, pedagang grosir dan pedagang pengecer ubi jalar adalah fungsi pertukaran berupa penjualan dan pembelian, fungsi fisik berupa kegiatan pengemasan, pengangkutan dan fungsi fasilitas berupa informasi pasar, penanggungan resiko dan pembiayaan. (2) Struktur pasar pada petani dan pedagang grosir cenderung mendekati pasar persaingan sempurna, sedangkan pedagang pengumpul tingkat pertama, pedagang pengumpul tingkat kedua, dan pedagang pengecer cenderung mendekati pasar oligopoli. (3) Saluran tataniaga ubi jalar yang efisien adalah saluran tataniaga satu karena memiliki margin tataniaga yang paling kecil sebesar Rp.800/Kg, rasio keuntungan dan biaya tertinggi sebesar 2.20, dan farmer's share yang tertinggi dibandingkan pada saluran tataniaga yang lainnya yaitu 69,23 persen.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kegiatan budidaya rumput laut yangdilakukan oleh masyarakat di pesisir timur pulau Lombok yaitu di Desa Pemongkong -Kecamatan Keruak Kabupaten Lombok Timur Propinsi NTB dan mengetahui pengaruhkegiatan budidaya rumput laut terhadap kesejahteraan masyarakat. Penelitian dilakukanpada bulan Oktober – Desember 2014. Penentuan lokasi penelitian dilakukan secarapurposive sampling, terdiri dari data primer dan sekunder. Jumlah responden adalah 60orang yang ditentukan dengan menggunakan rumus slovin. Data sekunder diperoleh melaluipenelusuran literatur yang diperoleh dari berbagai instansi terkait. Beberapa analisa yangdilakukan adalah analisa NPV, B/C Ratio dan juga uji statistik. Dapat disimpulkan bahwapetani rumput laut dan nelayan adalah penduduk lokal yang memiliki peran terbesar dalampengelolaan wilayah pesisir di desa Pemongkong kecamatan Keruak kabupaten LombokTimur -NTB. Mereka yang menetukan kawasan yang akan menjadi area pengembanganrumput laut dan sekaligus mereka dapat menentukan sendiri daerah yang menjadi jalurpenangkapan. Walaupun demikian masih sesekali terjadi benturan diantara mereka karenamasih terjadi pendaratan perahu dipantai yang menjadi lahan rumput laut. Pemasarandilakukan melalui pedagang pengumpul tingkat desa atau langsung dijual ke pedagangbesar di Kota Mataram atau Sweta. Secara Ekonomi kegiatan agribisnis budidaya rumputlaut yang dilakukan menguntungkan. Pendapatan masyarakat yang melakukan budidayarumput laut lebih tinggi jika dibandingkan dengan masyarakat yang tidak melakukanbudidaya rumput laut. Secara signifikan hal ini berpengaruh terhadap semakin tingginyakesejahteraan yang dimiliki oleh masyarakat pesisir. Terjadi perubahan pola matapencaharian yaitu masyakat bergeser dari yang tadinya hanya mengandalkan sumbedayaalam melalui kegiatan penangkapan kini sudah menjadi masyarakat pembudidaya.

BACKGROUND:

Pediatric patients with cancer undergo repeated painful procedures, including bone marrow aspirations and biopsies (BMABs). Optimal management of procedure-related pain can reduce discomfort, anxiety, and distress.

METHODS:

Children with neuroblastoma were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 arms on a prospective, single-blind, crossover trial conducted at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center from October 2016 to January 2018 (www.clinicaltrials.gov, identifier NCT02924324). Participants underwent 2 sequential BMABs: one with general anesthesia (GA) alone, the other with GA plus local anesthesia (LA) (GA + LA). The objective was to assess procedure-related pain and its interference with quality of life (QoL) with GA versus GA + LA. Primary outcome was percentage of participants requiring postprocedural opioids. Secondary outcomes were total opioid and nonopioid analgesics, pain scores, time to first analgesic, QoL, and toxicity. Management of postprocedural pain was standardized.

RESULTS:

Of 56 participants randomly assigned (3–16.5 years old), 46 completed both procedures. There was no significant difference in percentage of participants requiring opioids with GA versus GA + LA (24% vs 20%, P = .5). Pain scores in the recovery room were significantly lower for GA + LA versus GA (median [IQR]: 0 [0–2] vs 2 [0–4], P = .002). There were no statistically significant differences in total opioid or nonopioid analgesic, 6- and 24-hour pain scores, median time to first analgesic, or pain interference. No adverse events occurred.

CONCLUSIONS:

LA was associated with significant improvement in pain scores in the immediate recovery period. LA did not reduce postprocedural opioid use, nor did it improve QoL for patients undergoing BMAB with GA.

Analysis of the mechanisms and instruments regulating the use of agricultural land in Vietnam and other countries
Authors: Huong Thi Thu Vu , Kiseleva Svetlana
Published: July 2019

Article is devoted to consideration and the analysis of mechanisms and instruments of regulation of land use and features of their application in Vietnam and other countries for the benefit of increase in efficiency of agriculture in the long term. Authors considered features of use farmlands, the main mechanisms of public administration by land resources in Vietnam. The attention to shortcomings of the sphere of management and use of farmlands in modern Vietnam is paid and recommendations in the designated area are made. Now, Vietnam is faced by a problem of formation of the mechanism allowing to realize appropriate use of farmlands. When developing the corresponding land policy it is expedient to legislators to consider the available foreign experiment on regulation of use of the agricultural land.

Authors presented results of studying of foreign experience of the organization and management of agricultural land use for the purpose of identification of the existing effective mechanisms of legal regulation. In article it is shown that experience of land use in foreign countries is very various and has the specifics. It is necessary to use levers of the organizational and economic mechanism to increase in management efficiency and use of farmlands (for example, a combination of the state and market mechanisms of management of lands; protection of the highly productive agricultural land of zones; development of the large agricultural enterprises; compensation for damage from withdrawal and pollution of the earth; economic incentives for improvement of quality of the earth).

Authors emphasize importance of awakening of interest of the organizations and companies in development of the environmental-focused innovative processes in agriculture for increase in its environmental efficiency. In article need of development and improvement of the main and special measures of state regulation of use of farmlands is noted.
The development of environmental marketing in the enterprise

Published: July 2019

The article considers the problem that society faced, on the one hand, increased anthropogenic pressure on the environment, on the other hand, the most significant for a person is satisfaction of personal needs, where the main thing is adherence to a healthy lifestyle and the purchase of environmentally friendly products. Therefore, the concept of ecological marketing appears in the life of society. Analyzed the degree of development of environmental marketing at the enterprises of the Penza region. An expert survey was used as a research method. The experts were representatives of industrial enterprises, a scientific school, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Ministry of Health and Social Development, the Innovation Promotion Center. A survey of experts revealed the following: only selected Russian enterprises pay enough attention to environmental issues; Penza enterprises do not pay attention to environmental issues; the refusal of enterprises to use an ecology-oriented approach consists mainly in increasing the cost of production; Russian products only partially meet the requirements of international environmental standards. The analysis of the development of environmental marketing at the enterprise required the development of a regional model for managing the development of environmental marketing. This model includes four areas: promoting the development and implementation of eco-innovations; improving environmental infrastructure; transition to eco-oriented entrepreneurship; interaction with non-profit environmental organizations. Factors also influence the development of environmental marketing in an enterprise, namely, a high degree of environmental pollution, a low ecological culture of the population, depletion of natural resources, and a low level of economic development. Reducing the influence of these factors will help reduce the level of anthropogenic pressure and increase the level of development of environmental marketing. This article is a continuation of the research reflected in the monograph «Ecological marketing: problems and prospects for development» by the authors Resnik G.A. and Malyshev A.A.

Published: July 2019

The results of the study of the adhesion strength of fiberglass and metal fittings with concrete with different mechanical characteristics are presented.

These characteristics were established after the normal curing of concrete B15-30; B25 concrete samples were subjected to alternating freeze-thawing. Testing of all samples was carried out on the digging of reinforcement at a special stand according to GOST 10060-2012.

It is established that fiberglass reinforcement has a smaller amount of adhesion strength compared to steel; with increasing strength of concrete, the value of adhesion strength increases, after cycles of freezing and thawing, its fall slightly, but the amount of deformation increases.
