Espaço do Ensino na Formação Docente
Authors: Ayres Fabricio Medeiros , Ayres Luana Maria Santos da Silva
Published: May 2019

O sistema de ensino enfrenta diversos problemas quanto ao seu desempenho, seja pelo grande número de abandonos, reprovações ou mesmo pelas aprovações na qual os alunos não aprendem o mínimo esperado. Logo, percebe-se que a formação inicial de professores pode desempenhar um papel preponderante nesta mudança, e que o ensinar a ensinar é parte importante na fundamentação teórica desta formação. Por esse motivo este trabalho tem o objetivo de investigar as publicações que abordem como as teorias de ensino estão sendo trabalhadas em cursos de licenciaturas em universidades públicas do Brasil. Para tanto, realizou-se uma busca, na Scielo, que não recuperou artigos, e no Google Acadêmico que recuperou 74 artigos. Em ambas as buscas foram utilizada a expressão: “teorias de ensino” AND “curso de licenciatura” AND “universidade pública”. Após refinamento da busca, foram selecionados seis artigos, que posteriormente foram analisados através da Análise de Conteúdo. Da análise emergiram duas categorias: Espaço do ensino nos currículos de licenciatura, que aborda o ensino das disciplinas de didática e psicologia da educação em universidades; e Formação de professores, que aborda a formação de professores em diferentes licenciaturas. Através desse estudo, conclui-se que, apesar da importância do tema, há uma carência de publicações que tratem sobre as teorias de ensino nos cursos de licenciatura.
Saberes e Fazeres da Formação Continuada: discursos dos professores de Matemática que atuam na Educação de Jovens e Adultos
Authors: Da Luz Vanessa Silva , Machado Celiane Costa
Published: May 2019

Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) é uma modalidade de ensino que integra o contexto da atual Educação Básica brasileira, conquista essa marcada por longo período de lutas políticas que buscaram demarcar a identidade da EJA. Considerando esse contexto e os avanços nas discussões envolvendo o processo formativo dos professores que atuam nessa modalidade, em especial os de Matemática, o presente estudo tem por objetivo identificar e analisar produções científicas que versam sobre a formação continuada de professores de Matemática que atuam na EJA. O corpus da pesquisa são teses e dissertações concluídas no período de 2000 a 2017, divulgadas no Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) e na Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD). Para isso, adotou-se como procedimento metodológico a abordagem qualitativa por meio de uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura, tendo como questionamento desencadeador: “Quais os saberes e fazeres da formação continuada que estão emergindo nos discursos dos professores de Matemática que atuam na EJA?” com suporte metodológico na Análise Textual Discursiva (ATD) de Moraes e Galiazzi (2011). Como resultados iniciais, foram encontrados 208 trabalhos no Catálogo da CAPES e 33 no BDTD. A partir dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão foram selecionados 19 trabalhos que atenderam ao questionamento.  Após a análise das produções a luz da ATD, obteve-se dois textos sendo, “INÉDITO VIÁVEL: emoções e sentimentos que acompanham o fazer docente na EJA” e “PROCESSO FORMATIVO NA EJA: entrelugares de múltiplos saberes e relações”. Os textos interpretativos sintetizam as compreensões emergentes.
Empoderamento feminino: trabalhando a autoestima na escola
Authors: Bueno Bruna Leticia da Silva , Azevedo Heloisa Helena Duval de
Published: May 2019

A mulher na sociedade sofre com um grande enquadramento que a exige uma pseudo perfeição sobre o seu ser e a sua aparência. Não se pensa na pluralidade feminina, excluindo as diferentes belezas e construindo uma única visão do que é bonito e o que deve ser reproduzido. Com isso, o desgaste emocional para que se consiga chegar ao padrão estabelecido fere com a autoestima da mulher, o amor próprio é reprimido em busca do “ser mulher” ideal. Essa imposição inicia-se cedo, com o contato precoce com a tecnologia, meninas já reconhecem e interiorizam o padrão ideal que devem seguir, e mesmo crianças, buscam por esse objetivo, não reconhecendo a beleza própria que possuem. Dessa forma, pode-se pensar em quais atividades a escola, local onde a criança constrói novos saberes, pode realizar para que se valorize a diversidade e empodere a mesma. O PET GAPE realizou oficinas em escolas, com hidratantes e cremes caseiros ou de baixo custo, ensinando às crianças como cuidar de seu próprio cabelo, com o objetivo de reconhecimento sobre a sua própria beleza, mostrando celebridades que assumem a sua beleza natural, para que as crianças se auto reconheçam e admirem uma beleza não padronizada, contribuindo com a sua autoestima e tornando a informação acessível para todos.
Formações Discursivas na Comunicação Não Violenta
Authors: Parzianello Sandra Barbosa
Published: May 2019

Propomos um debate à cerca das reflexões para se estabelecer práticas de Comunicação Não Violenta (CNV) e Cultura de Paz, que dialoguem em torno dos saberes filosóficos e das Ciências Sociais. Partimos do pressuposto de que todo o ser humano social interage e interdepende do Outro, quando se dedica às soluções dialogadas e não impositivas. Nosso objetivo é valorizar e despertar sobre a importância do tema, bem como às novas dinâmicas das relações sociais do mundo contemporâneo em que os sujeitos venham a aprimorar as formas de relacionamento e convivência. Dada a ênfase da comunicação, como discurso, tomamos esta como constitutiva na promoção dos diálogos acerca das formas para a solução de conflitos, de modo a considerar no Outro, sua história, seus sonhos e seu olhar sobre o mundo, enfim, formações a partir das quais demonstram, como ferramenta metodológica a Comunicação Não Violenta (CNV), para a solução de litígios e manutenção da ética nos processos que norteiam essas novas ações comunicativas. Reiteramos com essa proposta, a importância sobre o fomento e produção do conhecimento que priorizam a comunicação interpessoal para a condução adequada dos conflitos. Portanto, nada mais relevante na contemporaneidade, do que a noção sobre a existência do Outro em nossas vidas e na formação de nossa identidade.

Repensando Matrix como metáfora do real em que estamos imersos
Authors: Jungk Isabel
Published: May 2019

The Matrix (1999) é uma produção cinematográfica que narra a trajetória de um cibercriminoso que, ao se libertar de uma realidade ilusória forjada computacionalmente, se depara com as consequências dos excessos praticados pela humanidade, que perdeu o controle do desenvolvimento da inteligência artificial e destruiu o ecossistema planetário, levando-o a desenvolver suas habilidades e a lutar pela libertação dos demais seres humanos. Com base nos conceitos semióticos peirceanos de signo, as diferenças entre seus tipos de objetos e os interpretantes específicos que são gerados, bem como no quadro de relações sociais intersubjetivas analisado em termos psicanalíticos por Fromm, o presente artigo busca mostrar que, de maneira metafórica, The Matrix mostra um contexto individual e coletivo que é muito mais real do que parece, e que igualmente aponta uma saída pouco óbvia para o sujeito, mas que pode valer a pena percorrer.
Aplicação de materiais sustentáveis no design de artefatos de uso cotidiano: o caso do cabo de tesoura em bambu laminado
Authors: Paschoarelli Luis Carlos , Santos Guilherme Barbosa dos , Pereira Marco Antônio dos Reis
Published: May 2019

O desenvolvimento de produtos sustentáveis requer a pesquisa e aplicação de novos materiais e processos de baixo impacto ambiental. Alguns componentes utilizados na fabricação de artefatos de uso diário podem causar desequilíbrio ao meio ambiente quando descartados indevidamente, logo, a substituição dos materiais e processos atualmente empregados por outros menos nocivos indica vantagens ambientais e também competitivas. Esses tipos de materiais apontam para novas fontes de matérias-primas, inserem novos setores na cadeia de suprimentos e contribuem para a gestão em logística reversa. Considerando os fatores supracitados e o potencial do bambu, enquanto material alternativo, este trabalho objetiva demonstrar a aplicação do mesmo no desenvolvimento de um artefato de uso diário, a saber, em uma proposta de cabo de tesoura, sob uma abordagem que considera critérios biomecânicos, e sobretudo, aspectos ecológicos.

This paper presents a new pedagogical approach to the teaching of the Databases course in a Vocational Education and Training (VET) environment. We propose an exemplary teaching scenario for basic database commands using Neo4j. This approach is necessitated by the fact that many online/network environments are taught in VET without any special preparation in the corresponding laboratories. Furthermore, our article describes various technical aspects of the NoSQL software family in general and of Neo4j in particular.
Performance Assessment of A Two-Stage Reciprocating Air Compressor
Authors: Nwakpang Ikpobari Amuele , Lebele-Alawa Barinaadaa Thaddeus , Nkoi Barinyima
Published: May 2019

This paper presents the performance assessment of a two-stage reciprocating air compressor operating at an Oil and Gas Terminal in Rivers State, Nigeria. The main focus was to investigate the effects of control parameters and clogging on the performance of the compressor. Data were obtained from the manufacturer’s manual, field reports and the field operator’s log sheets. Relevant thermodynamic equations were used to determine and analyse appropriate control parameters of the compressor. Data were also analysed using various appropriate compressor equations and a thermodynamic analysis of the compressor was done to evaluate its performance. The outcome of all the analyses showed that the compressor experienced 26% loss or reduction in the volumetric efficiency, 8% loss in the isothermal efficiency, 11.1% loss in volume flow rate and 21% decrease or reduction in the mass flow rate due to clogging when compared with the design specifications. The analysis also showed that the performance of the compressor was affected by several other factors including the climatic and environmental conditions such as the high operating ambient temperature of the inlet air to the compressor. It revealed that the effects of clogging caused a continuous rise in temperature which reduced the discharge pressure, mass and volume flow rates, isothermal and volumetric efficiencies; thereby reducing its performance in comparison with the design specifications. The results further revealed that clogging was a major factor that affected the performance effectiveness of the reciprocating compressor.
Performance of 20 Watts Polycrystalline Silicon Solar Module under Yola Climate, North-East Nigeria

Published: May 2019

The performance of a 20 Watts polycrystalline silicon solar module was evaluated under Yola climatic condition. It was found that the values of short circuit current (Isc), open circuit voltage (Voc), maximum current (Imax) and maximum voltage (Vmax) of the solar module were slightly different from those labeled under Standard Test Condition (STC).This was due to lower solar irradiance under Yola climate compared to that at STC, which resulted to changes in power and efficiency of the module. The power rating of the module at STC was 20 Watts but it was found to be 12.49 Watts between 12:00 noon and 12.15 pm when the solar irradiance was 780 Wm-2. In addition, the efficiency of the module, which was 15 % at STC, was found to be 12 % at maximum irradiance of 780 Wm-2. The Fill-factor (FF) of the solar module on the other hand was 0.71 at STC but it was found to be 0.77 at solar irradiance of 780 Wm-2.

A dynamic model for smart structure under wind excitations is considered. Then robust control theory is used a model to synthesize controllers achieving stabilization with guaranteed performance for smart structures. We use μ-analysis to express   the control problem as a mathematical optimization problem and then find the controller that solves the optimization problem in the frequency domain.
Structural Evaluation of Masonry Sewer Pipes Under Transverse Settlement Due to Tunneling
Authors: Heydarpour Parsa
Published: May 2019

The intention of this research is to perform structural evaluation on masonry sanitary sewer pipes impacted by tunnel excavation. Until about 1900, it was common to use several layers of brick to construct municipal sanitary sewer lines, and currently thousands of miles of brick sewer lines are still in service. The construction of new underground facilities inevitably disturbs the soil above and will have an impact on the existing masonry sanitary sewer pipes within the zone of influence of the excavation.  Masonry pipes are typically susceptible to the longitudinal interaction failure mechanism at the hogging zone of the settlement trough due to their low tensile capacity. In this research standard egg-shaped section for brick sewer were subjected to ground settlements obtained using Attewell method. The greenfield condition is assumed to be applicable with homogeneous ground conditions.  The impact of the depth to the tunnel axis and trough width parameter on the settlement trough and associated strains developed in the pipes are subjected to investigation. Tensile strain developed due to axial strain and bending moment are calculated for five different section sizes. Mitigation measures and recommendations are provided

Published: May 2019

Abstract: This study is motivated by a rapid phenomenon and the enormity of life changes in the globalization era with the advancement of information and communication technology. This information age became the forerunner to the birth of the era and millennial generation; a generation that makes information and devices as a part which always attached to their lives. This study aims to describe the reality of human life in the global era with all its achievements in the form of openness and ease of interaction and communication as well as various facilities. In addition, this study is also directed at critically analyzing the problems and impacts of the advancement of the information age for humans in the form of the loss of a distinctive identity as a human in his dialectics with his social and cultural system. With the critical phenomenology approach, it is illustrated that this information era leads to the age of uniformity of systems and value of human life with the spirit of a single universal culture. This context poses a serious threat to the loss and scrape of wisdom values â€‹â€‹over the value of locality. The value of local culture which is the driving force and controlling the crisis of human existence must be carried out transformation efforts towards a new direction in accordance with the spirit of locality and globality (glocalization). Efforts to transform the value of local culture in this global context require the transformative role of the world of education in its various aspects. Transforming local cultural values â€‹â€‹to students can be done with the paradigm of transformative epistemology.

LORENZO LOTTO VS. GEORG LEMBERGER. UNA STORIA D’INVENZIONE
Authors: ANGELUCCI Giulio
Published: May 2019

Lorenzo Lotto vs. Georg Lemberger. The Story of Invention. This contribution is a new excerpt from the research Lotto vs. Lemberger. Due dipinti politici di soggetto religioso intorno al 1522. It is its second section published after the one which appeared in 2017 on issue no. 1 of «Historia Artium» with the title Lipsia 1522. L’Epitaffio Schmidburg di Georg Lemberger. Religione, Politica e Pittura. This work has started from a comparative analysis of the Lemberger’s Schmidburg Epitaph and the Crucifixion by Lorenzo Lotto at Monte San Giusto. It has deliberately ignored the fact that the two paintings belong to two very different socio-cultural environments, that they have always remained separated from each other by more than one thousand kilometers and that they appear antithetical if considered from a stylistic and religious perspective. Being aware of such differences, the singularity of the compositional structure shared by the two paintings has brought to a parallel analysis of the three different sections in which both of them are articulated. In this structure, the simultaneous presence in the same sequence of three different genres of visual representation has been identified. In both works and in the same vertical sequence, appear in fact: the Icon (the Crucifixion, in the upper part); the Illustration (the characters and actions on the Golgotha, in the middle part); the Narrative (in the lower part, where the image of the customer is presented in a context which offers the key for a political interpretation of the whole painting). Being analyzed independently from each other and in a comparison between the two works of art, the three sections of the image have revealed such analogies to allow an interpretation of the occurring variations based on rhetoric, as if Lotto had intentionally confuted the religious theses illustrated by Lemberger. This contribution contains two paragraphs which are specular to those published on the 2017 issue of «Historia Artium» and dealing with the lower section of the German work of art. They analyze the lower section of the Italian work of art: here, Narrative is identified under the fallacious appearance of the Lamentation at the Foot of the Cross, and the content to which this narration is functional is being interpreted.

REPREZENTĂRI ICONOGRAFICE ALE MORȚII ȘI ECOURILE LOR ÎN IMAGINARUL CULTURII TRADIȚIONALE ROMÂNEȘTI
Authors: BERINDEI Cosmina-Maria
Published: May 2019

Iconographic Representations of Death and Their Echo in the Romanian Traditional Culture Imaginary. The present research focuses on a few elements that define the unrepresentable figure of Death, introduced in the Romanian cultural space by the traditional books and taken over by iconography; later, these elements had an echo in folklore adaptations or popular beliefs. We started from the conclusions of our research on the Romanian eschatological imaginary built on the idea of posthumous salvation. The travelling soul makes the posthumous journey – difficult and full of tests – successfully, almost without exception. It reaches a wealthy rest place, God’s Kingdom, due to the multiple salvation opportunities. We observed a few motifs present in the eschatological iconography, which are part of the images’ inventory of Death: the righteous’ death and the sinner’s death, the old man’s Aesopic dialogue with Death, Death’s arsenal, the deadly glass, the motif of Dance Macabre. Our research conclusion is that the iconography of Death was a privileged support of knowledge transmission toward the village world and the transmitted knowledge was interesting and available to anyone, without exception. That’s why, as an answer to a European cultural current, the representation of Death entered the iconography of the Romanian area from where it lent motifs to folklore (death’s glass, good death and bad death, scythe and the other instruments); at the same time, it left an equally strong belief in posthumous salvation or maybe it increased – through its unwanted and horrific presence – the more involved participation in the rituals of the deceased soul’s salvation.

Introduction

Significant tricuspid regurgitation is a well recognized indicator of right ventricular dysfunction. Recent studies have shown that significant tricuspid regurgitation is potentially associated with increased mortality in patients with severe aortic stenosis who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, data remained sparse and inconclusive. Thus, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature to assess the association between significant tricuspid regurgitation and mortality in post TAVR patients.

Hypothesis

Significant tricuspid regurgitation is predictive for higher mortality in patients undergoing TAVR.

Methods

We comprehensively searched the databases of MEDLINE and EMBASE from inception to October 2018. Included studies were published observational studies that reported multivariate analysis of the effects of significant tricuspid regurgitation on all-cause mortality among patients undergoing TAVR. Data from each study were combined utilizing the random-effects, generic inverse variance method of DerSimonian and Laird to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Results

Nine cohort studies from August 2011 to May 2018 consisting of 27 614 patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing TAVR (6255 with and 21 359 without significant tricuspid regurgitation) were included in this meta-analysis. The presence of significant tricuspid regurgitation was associated with higher all-cause mortality (pooled OR = 2.26, 95% CI: 1.45–3.52, P < 0.001). We found that all-cause mortality remained statistically substantial in all subgroups (30-day all-cause mortality: OR = 2.05, 95% CI: 1.20–3.49, P = 0.009; midterm all-cause mortality: OR = 9.67, 95% CI: 2.44–38.31, P = 0.001; and long-term all-cause mortality: OR = 1.48, 95% CI: 1.19–1.85, P < 0.001). Funnel plots and Egger's regression asymmetry test were performed and showed no publication bias.

Conclusion

Significant tricuspid regurgitation increased risk of mortality by up to two-fold among patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing TAVR. Our study suggests that significant tricuspid regurgitation should be considered a component of risk stratification tools.
Study on the Setting Up of a Horse Tread on the Ialomita River
Authors: Lavinia Udrea
Published: May 2019

In Romania, the living environment of salmonids is the mountainous and pre-mountainous waters, the alpine lakes and the reservoirs built on mountain rivers. Improving living conditions of salmonids involves work on stabilizing mountain water courses, regulating their flow, reducing the transport of alluviums. Salmoniculture includes concerns about artificial growth and amelioration of Salmonidae populations in special resorts called trout. The researches were carried out at SC Cascada Laur SRL Moroeni, a specialized breeding farm. Having a land with very poor agricultural potential, but conducive to the development of an aquaculture activity, on the Ialomita River, in 2007, the company decided to build a farm for the breeding and breeding of trout. The technical documentation has been carried out and the infrastructure of this economic unit has begun.The pond basins have a wooden trunk shape with dimensions of: 4.00 x 20m - 3 pools; 3.25 x 9.70m - 4 pools; 12.80mx 2 m - 1 pool and a pool of 12.00 x 6.00m. The main features of the buildings: - Soil basin (trowel), trout for breeding and fattening of the trout, waste water basin, incubation micro station, filter. Economic growth of salmonids: a viable alternative to protecting the natural resources of the planet; an important source of animal protein, easily digestible; have a determining role in maintaining human health; efficient valorization of feed; obtaining constant productions throughout the year; low crop areas, high growth densities, exploitation from the piscicultural point of mountain accumulation lakes and impassable land for agriculture; reduced expenses with the staff employed; meeting the demanding tastes of consumers.
Almanacs, Journals, Privileges? An Essay on the Backbone of the Printing Business Culture in Bohemia in 18th-Century Bohemia
Authors: Wögerbauer Michael
Published: May 2019

Based on two intertwined case studies, this essay shows the economic importance of almanacs for Bohemian printing houses under the reign of Maria Theresa (1740–1780). The first case study focuses on the printing house of Sophie Rosenmüller (Kirchner-Klauser) in Prague, which during the 18th century published the only two newspapers in Bohemia, one in German and one in Czech. After her husband’s death (1745), Sophie Rosenmüller asked the Viennese administration for the permission to close the loss-making Cžeský postylion neboližto NOWJNY Cžeské [Bohemian Postilion or Czech Newspaper], which never had more than twelve subscribers per year. But Empress Maria Theresa insisted on the existence of the Czech newspaper. As compensation, she granted Sophie Rosenmüller privileges to publish highly profitable almanacs. In 1771, the empress finally agreed to suspending the paper. The second study deals with the severe impact of Maria Theresa’s religious reforms on provincial printing houses, like the one of Ignaz Hilgartner in the South Bohemian town of Jindřichův Hradec. Thoroughly discussed short-term issues included the reduction of the number of holidays and the fact that they were no longer to be printed in red in almanacs; more severe problems involved the loss of important clients, caused by the disbanding of some secular religious fraternities and foremost the Jesuits, and the end of some important genres, e.g. school dramas with their printed synopsis; the biggest problem was caused by the societalisation of the school system and the printing of textbooks. Due to the lack of a secular literary market (universities, enlightened clientele) in South Bohemia, Hilgartner saw only two possibilities to compensate for these losses: either to move his office to Prague or to assume the privileges of Sophie Rosenmüller (and especially her best-selling almanacs) after her death in 1780. Nevertheless, both possibilities were denied to him.
Illustrations of the Calendar Part of Book Calendars in the 19th Century

Published: May 2019

Illustrations of the calendar part are the basic illustration in book calendars. They were placed on the twelve pages of the calendar part above the list of the days of the month. In some cases, especially in calendars from the beginning of the 19th century and Jewish calendars, these were even the only illustrations. The themes of these illustrations are considerably varied regardless of the focus of the calendars. Most frequently, they show the work done in specific months, popular pastime activities, but also signs of the zodiac, vedute, as well as scenes from the Bible and from Czech history.

Reproduction is one of the most important factors affecting the efficiency of animal production. Within the scope of uterine capacity and other morphometric parameters, the objective of this study was to evaluate the size variability of uterus dissected from prepubertal gilts. The research was conducted on 100 PLW gilts and 100 PL gilts at a pig testing station. After slaughter, the reproductive tract was dissected, and each element was measured and weighed. The obtained results were combined and analyzed in three groups differentiated by uterine capacity: I, II and III. Group I consisted of gilts with a uterine capacity below 115 cm3 (n=69); group II comprised gilts with a uterine capacity between 115 and 175 cm3 (n=85); uterine capacity in group III was above 175 cm3 (n=46). Ontogenesis of the reproductive tract showed great variability with respect to the uterine capacity of gilts of both breeds. Uterine weight with and without ligament was different between the analyzed groups of PLW gilts (P<0.01), and also between the groups of PL gilts (P<0.01; P<0.05). The uterine horns of the PLW gilts in group I were slightly longer than in the PL gilts (90.76 cm vs. 84.20 cm; P<0.05). A slightly higher variability of uterine capacity was observed with respect to the PLW gilts (80.92 cm3 to 243.13 cm3), as compared with the PL gilts (92.61 cm3 to 235.23 cm3). The determined uterine capacity was significantly correlated with all parameters of uterine size (P<0.01), apart from the length of the uterus and cervix in PLW gilts. The proportion between the uterine weight and the length of its horns, which characterizes the thickness of uterine walls, was significantly correlated with the length of uterine horns only in PL gilts (r=0.382**). This study may be used to forecast the potential fertility of related females (littermate gilts and their daughters); it may also be used in sow selection for litter size.

In this study, varying concentrations of polyunsaturated fatty acids in goat’s milk were obtained by supplementing goat feed rations with maize dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS). In comparison to the control group, the milk of goats that received DDGS contained about 25% more polyunsaturated fatty acids, 30% more conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and had more favorable values of the atherogenic and thrombogenic indices. The diverse composition of fatty acids present in the goat’s milk correlated with the olfactory perception of the milk and its volatile compound profile. The level of unsaturated fatty acids significantly affected the odors detected in the processed goat’s milk. The volatile compound profile of the milk was mostly differentiated by the concentrations of aldehydes (hexanal and furfural) and furanones (furaneol), which exceeded their odor threshold values. The total concentration of identified aldehydes was highest in pasteurized milk samples from the goats of the experimental group, as a result of heating. Furfural was found in pasteurized samples of both the control and experimental milk at concentrations exceeding its odor threshold (3 mg·kg−1). Feeding goats with DDGS did not change the animal, cooked, dairy fat, lack of freshness, light-oxidized, or overall dairy flavors of the raw milk. After pasteurization, milk from goats fed with DDGS retained its characteristic animal odor and gained a very intense cooked flavor.

Feed contamination is a major cause of diseases outbreak in the poultry industry. There is a direct relationship between feeding, the intestinal microbiota and how the immune system responds to disease infestation. Cereals which form the bulk of poultry feed are mostly contaminated by mycotoxins of Fusarium origin. Adequate knowledge of mycotoxins and their effects on animals is necessary. Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a major contaminant of poultry feed. DON has the ability to bind with a large number of eukaryotic ribosomal subunits because of the presence of an epoxide group and these disrupt the activity of peptidyl transferase and the elongation or shortening of peptide chains. Deoxynivalenol has varying effect ranging from acute, overt diseases with high morbidity and death to chronic disease, decreased resistance to pathogens and reduced animal productivity. Deoxynivalenol also impairs the intestinal morphology, nutrient absorption, barrier function, and the innate immune response in chickens. This review highlights the impacts of deoxynivalenol on the immune system, intestinal microbiota composition and the morphology of chicken.
ISDS Regimes and Democratic Practice: Creating Conflict of Interests between Governments, Investors and Local Populations
Authors: Karas Martin
Published: May 2019

The recent debate over the Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) regimes of international arbitration has resulted in concerted efforts aimed mainly at protecting the rights of states to regulate, improving transparency of proceedings and eliminating inconsistency in decision making of the tribunals. While the existing scholarly work frequently addresses issues of the relationship between the existing investment regimes and good governance in general, increased attention is rarely paid to the effects that investment arbitration has on democratic practice. The article applies an “action-based” approach to democracy, in order to analyse the role that the ISDS regimes play in exacerbating conflicts between the local populations, foreign investors and governments. The analysis leads to a conclusion that the ISDS regimes create incentives for the governments and foreign investors to disregard sound democratic practice. The article represents an attempt to move the discussion about the ISDS regimes away from the question of legitimacy of the regimes to the question of the impacts that the regimes have in practice.

Pines are generally fire-resistant trees. There is a shortage of research on the behaviour of Scots pine after surface fire in older stands. The aim of the work was to describe the effect of the surface fire intensity on the mortality of pines of various diameter at breast height (DBH), including older trees. The research was conducted in Peucedano-Pinetum oligotrophic Scots-pine forest in Kampinos National Park (KPN, central Poland) on the area of two adjacent surface fire sites originated in spring 2015 in 60- to 200-year-old stands (site area: 10,92 ha). There were 45 (28 burned and 17 control) permanent plots established after the fire. The share of not burned, superficially burned and completely burnout organic horizon of the soil was determined within all of them. DBH and location of pine trees were measured within all of the plots on the area of 200 m2. For all of the trees for which full information about soil organic horizon damage was mapped, the prevailing type of disturbance in their close neighbourhoods with radii of 1 and 2 m was assessed. The mortality of trees was assessed after each vegetation period up to 2017, basing on the presence of green needles on the trees. The influence of fire intensity on the survival of trees was examined on whole permanent plot level as well as on individual tree level. Strong linear correlation was observed between Scots pine mortality and the share of plots area with damaged organic layer, especially at the end of the third vegetation period after fire. Logistic regression models constructed for individual trees suggest that bigger tree diameter (hence, thicker bark) diminished the odds of mortality only after two vegetation periods from the fire. After the third vegetation period, only the intensity of surface fire in the close neighbourhood of trees influenced (negatively) the chance on survival. The size of trees did no matter in this case. Nearly all of the trees that were located within burnout organic matter areas died. The results did not support the commonly known mechanism of enhancement of bigger Scots pine tree survival after surface fire because of thicker bark responsible for heat protection. Probably, the main cause of observed mortality was not overheating of cambium but it was rather connected to massive fine root loses. Scots pines growing on oligotrophic arid sites modify their root system to explore topsoil layers with higher proportion of shallow roots, growing even in organic litter layer. This corresponds with massive (regardless of size) pine mortality within sites characterised by complete burnout of organic matter layer and very high survival in those ones with only surfacely burned litter layer. The results can improve the assessment of surface fires consequences in managed Scots pine stands growing in oligotrophic conditions.

The aim of our study was to compare the growth rates of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl.) with those of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies L.) in plantations. The experimental plots were established in 1988, 1989 and 1994 in the southern part of the Leningrad region. In 2014, the condition of the plants on those plots was examined and their linear parameters were measured. The comparison of Scots pine with lodgepole pine of the same age growing in similar soil conditions has shown that Scots pine has only an insignificant advantage over lodgepole pine in the growth rate. In the mixes of Norway spruce and lodgepole pine, Norway spruce considerably suppresses the growth of lodgepole pine.

Lodgepole pine has successfully adapted to the climatic conditions of the Leningrad region of Russia, which is easy to see from the well-preserved plantations and their annual bearing. No significant damage because of either diseases or insect pests has been revealed.

It is for the first time that the volume yield of lodgepole pine was determined in 20-to 26-year-old experimental plantations in the Leningrad region of Russia.
