The influence of transport time and storage of smoked meat by traditional method on the content of a total four-aelative hydrocarbon aromatic hydrocarbons
Authors: Choroszy Karolina , Tereszkiewicz Krzysztof
Published: September 2018

The transport of food products is one of the main stages in the food chain. Each type of food product needs to be adjusted to the conditions of transport of its specific. Traditionally smoked meats are products that should receive special care during rotation due to the fast evaporating water which, after prolonged transport and storage, may lead to an increase in the content of harmful PAH compounds. One of the factors determining their formation are time and conditions of storage and transport. EU legislation clearly specifies the amount of total benzo (a) pyrene, chrysene, benzo (a) anthracene, benzo (b) fluoranthene and benzo (a) pyrene and the safety practices of food transport companies. Despite high achievements and improvement of food safety, there are exceeded maximum limits of PAH compounds due to too long transport and storage time. The article discusses the risks of increased contamination with compounds from the PAH group in transport and during storage. It is shown that long-distance transport and storage of smoked sausages traditionally causes a slight increase in the concentration of the sum of 4 PAHs and BaP. The time of transport and storage of cold meats in refrigeration conditions also causes water loss, which results in drying of the surface and loss of the bar weight
The analysis of exigencies of priority of crossing at intersections from the game theory's point of view
Authors: Jabłonka Jarosław
Published: September 2018

The assumption that each road participant adheres to the rules, ideally adapts his behavior to the prevailing road conditions, is unrealistic, and as the basis for taking action can lead to collisions and accidents. The article presents the theoretical models allowing to understand the behavior of drivers who deliberately enforce the priority of passing, and their only motivation is the shortest travel time through the intersection. Two types of situations at crossroads are considered: with guided and non-guided traffic with the STOP sign. The presented mathematical models are illustrated by the real-life recordings of drivers available on the Internet.

The influence of exhaust system leak on the operating parameters of a turbocharged spark ignition engine
Authors: Hennek Krystian , Graba Mariusz
Published: September 2018

Turbocharging of an internal combustion engine is the most common technique to improve an engines’ performance. In present it is not hard to meet vehicles on the road with turbocharged SI engines, which have a high mileage, and because of this fact there is a high risk of exhaust systems leak. This might have its influence not only on the emissions, but also on the vehicles performance. Thereby this dissertation shows the comparative analysis of the influence of exhaust system leak in the catalyzer input on the exhaust gasses composition in the catalyzer output and the operation parameters of an turbocharged SI engine. During the research some parameters were recorded and compared, e. g.: the engines power and torque, the injec-tors opening time, the oxygen sensors voltage signals in the input and in the output of the catalyzer, the concentration of harmful gasses in the exhaust tailpipe. The research was conducted with the use of a single roller MAHA MSR 500 chassis dynamometer. A series of torque measurements was performed. Under these measurements a simulation of the exhaust system leakage of a turbocharged SI passenger car engine was made. As a result three variations of the wideband oxygen sensor acting were reached. The wideband sensor is mounted between the turbocharger unit and the input of the catalyzer. In the test the influence of the leakage on the injector’s opening time and the composition of harmful exhaust substances were pointed.

Resistance to the piercing of composite materials
Authors: Kyzioł Lesław
Published: September 2018

For structures that carry dynamic loads, the requirements are imposed for safety reasons. The requirements apply to both materials and construction. This requires searching for optimal calculation methods, including geometric and physical nonlinearity, which are results from the construction of the structure. An example is various ballistic structures (ballistic shields), which are hit by bullets in which huge energy is accumulated. In this case, the hitting in the shield with a bullet can be considered as a load due to mass impact. Loads at high strain rates are described by various mathematical models. The mathematical model is complex because a large number of "coefficients" is required, moreover, the obtained test results are not always repeatable. The paper presents the results of shooting multilayer plates with composite materials with 7.62 mm caliber bullets. The shield consisted of three layers, the outer layers were steel or aluminum, the inner layer was natural or modified wood. The samples had the shape of a shield and were 50 mm in diameter and of different thickness. The results of the research allowed to assess the impact of wood modification on its puncture resistance.

Published: September 2018

El presente artículo busca articular un enfoque particular de la ética de la investigación (Human Research Ethics) con respecto a las prácticas de investigación que realizan los formadores de docentes y sus estudiantes en comunidades de México y Bolivia. Se presentan los elementos teóricos de la ética de la investigación y las categorías generadas con base en las respuestas de 79 formadores de docentes a la pregunta abierta sobre los factores de protección que se deben tomar en cuenta con respecto a los participantes de las investigaciones. La pregunta forma parte de un cuestionario cualitativo aplicado entre marzo y junio de 2015. La principal conclusión es que aunque la función sustantiva que desempeñan estos profesores es la preparación de nuevos maestros de educación básica, al indagar sobre los factores de protección logran enunciar con claridad aspectos centrales de la ética de investigación.

The purpose of the article is to present the theoretical elements of research ethics when the research is done with human beings: Human Research Ethics and the categories generated from the answers obtained with 79 teacher trainers from Mexico and Bolivia, in reference to the protective factors that had to be taken into account when they work with vulnerable groups. The question is part of a qualitative questionnaire applied between March and June 2015. The five dimensions: ethical, affective – emotional, social, cognitive-epistemological and methodological, were constructed with the theoretical elements and the empirical work. We found as an interesting fact that even though the principal task of the teacher trainers is to prepare young teachers, when we asked them about the protective factors for the study participants, they were able to express central issues in relation to research ethics.

Published: September 2018

Nautical tourism is one of the fastest growing tourism segments on the Montenegrin part of the Adriatic coast. In the past ten years, the number and size of reception capacities in Montenegrin nautical tourism has increased by more than twice. The construction of three marinas with over 500 berths is under way, expected to be on the market by the end of 2019. The development of this tourism segment has been more the result of individual investment projects, than an outcome of strategic development processes. There has been no destination support to the development, and staff needed for new product introduction and positioning have not been trained. According to current development plans, the formation of nautical tourist offer on the Montenegrin coast in nautical tourism ports and related activities of charter companies and service centers are expected to provide over 1000 jobs. The aim of this paper is to analyze the current situation and planned activities within Montenegrin nautical tourist offer and consider the current staff training programmes for the needs of the respective development, with reference to experiences of the most developed destinations, to provide guidelines and recommendations aimed at creating appropriate staff support as the basis for the future comparative advantage of Montenegro on the international nautical tourism market. The paper will rely on general methodological principles applied to the specific research subject. The main scientific research methods to be used in the paper are: inductive-deductive, analytical, synthetic, and statistical methods.

Authors: Retkoceri Betim , Kurteshi Rinor
Published: September 2018

The aim of this study is to discover the barriers to innovation in Kosovo service and manufacturing firms. In accordance with the research objectives, this study presents a comparison between service and manufacturing firms regarding barriers to innovation. The study is exploratory and a mixed methodology is used, while the findings are compared with the most recent literature. The findings indicate that traditional management practices and state policies are hindering innovation, although there is a general recognition for change. Additionally, resistance to change and traditional operational practices are found to impede innovation. Lastly, lack of planning skills, lack of financial resources, fear of failure and lack of adoption of an innovation culture are found to be fundamental factors in impeding innovation in Kosovo firms. The contribution of this research is in enriching and extending the current knowledge of barriers to innovation for academia, practitioners and readers. Notably, this is a unique contribution for Kosovar academics and practitioners interested in the main factors that impede innovation.

Pax Corporis is the first book written in Hungarian that presents in detail human diseases, their etiology and treatment. Ferenc Pápai Páriz had completed the manuscript entitled Pax Corporis in 1687, and it was published 3 years later in 1690 in Kolozsvár. Ferenc Pápai Páriz summarized the knowledge he gained during his studies and accumulated during his personal practice. He did not write this book for the professionals but for those poor people who had no access to physician’s care. This was the reason why Pax Corporis was written in Hungarian. Whereas Pápai’s Latin language scripts – for example his doctoral thesis written in Basel – are known to the international scientific community, the Hungarian language Pax Corporis remained unknown for all who were not familiar with the language. For this reason it also remained neglected that in Pax Corporis Ferenc Pápai Páriz had given a detailed description of all four currently acknowledged cardinal signs of Parkinson’s disease – tremor, rigor, bradykinesia and postural instability – and also of other characteristics of the disease 130 years before James Parkinson. The report on the description of the syndrome of Parkinson’s disease in Pax Corporis was presented to the international professional community in 2009. In the current study we evaluated the international recognition of Ferenc Pápai Páriz as one of the first descriptors of all 4 cardinal signs of Parkinson’s disease. We searched scientific citation databases – Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar – and also performed general searches on the web. We found that until April 2018 Pápai Páriz has been cited among those who first described the complete motor syndrome of Parkinson’ disease in Pax Corporis, in many countries of the world from New Zealand to Canada, and also in 16 European countries. Citations appeared in dissertations, scientific publications, textbooks, handbooks, professional websites and other documents. Three centuries after his original Hungarian script, Ferenc Pápai Páriz got his international recognition in medical history as one of the first descriptors of the syndrome of Parkinson’s disease.
