PROPOLİSTE STANDARDİZASYON MÜMKÜN MÜ?
Authors: Keskin Merve
Published: November 2018

Propolis kompleks yapıya sahip reçinemsi bir
karışımdır. Bileşimi, toplandığı bölgenin florası, toplanma biçimi ve zamanı,
arı ırkı gibi birçok değişkene bağlı olduğu için ham propolisin standardize
edilmesi oldukça zordur. Ancak, değişik çözücüler ile hazırlanan propolis
ekstraklarının standardize edilmesi daha mümkündür. Yapılan bu çalışmada
Anadolu'nun 13 farklı ilinden toplanan propolis örnekleri ile hazırlanan etanol
ekstraktlarının temel komponentleri araştırıldı. Ekstraktların, mum, balsam,
toplam polifenolik madde miktarı (TFM), toplam flavanoid madde miktarı(TFlM),
toplam tanen madde miktarı (TTM) ve fenolik madde içeriği temel parametreler
olarak ölçüldü. Elde edilen değerler, çalışılan tüm parametrelerin propolisin
toplandığı bölge florasına göre değiştiğini ancak, propolis ekstraktlarının
standardizasyonu için toplam polifenolik madde miktarı, toplam flavonoid madde
miktarı ve toplam tanen madde miktarının önemli kriterler olduğunu gösterdi.
Ayrıca Anadolu propolisi ile hazırlanan ekstraktların tanımlanmasında kalitatif
olarak kafeik asit, p-kumarik asit,
ferulik asit gibi fenolik asitlerin önemli kriterler olduğu görülmüştür.  Sonuç olarak, propolis ekstraklarında tam bir
standardizasyonun mümkün olamayacağı, ancak etanolik propolis ekstraktlarının
standardizasyonu açısından TFM ve TFlM miktarlarının en önemli kriterler olduğu
söylenebilir. Ayrıca Anadolu propolisi ile hazırlanan etanol ekstraktlarının
kafeik asit, ferulik asit, luteolin, t-sinnamik asit, p-kumarik asit yada türevlerini içermesi gerektiği söylenebilir.

Noch einmal: das Transformationsproblem
Authors: Grözinger Gerd
Published: November 2018

Öfter ist wohl noch keiner Theorie der Totenschein ausgestellt worden. Daß die Marxsche Wertlehre in der üblich gewordenen Standardfonnulierung nicht zu kittende Widersprüche aufweist, kann in einer Zahl von Publikationen nachgelesen werden, die wahrscheinlich schon dreistellig ist. Auch der neueste Beitrag dazu, von Michael Heinrich in der PROKLA 72, kommt, diese Debatte referierend, zu dem gleichen Ergebnis. Und doch, ganz so hundetod scheinen die von Marx postulierten Zusammenhänge wieder nicht zu sein.
Jenseits des Atlantiks - Zur Kritik der eurozentrischen: Kultur- und Kolonialgeschichtsschreibung
Authors: Bardelle Frank
Published: November 2018

Das "Euro-Fieber",  das spätestens im Jahre 1992 seine höchsten Temperaturgrade erreichen wird, scheint Ausdruck einer Art Infektionskrankheit zu sein, die im 15.116. Jahrhundert ihren Ausgang nimmt und zu eigenartigen Restriktionen der Wahrnehmung führt, die der europäische Mensch in bezug auf den Rest der Welt und auf seine eigene Tradition und Geschichte entwickelt. So wird auch die Kolonisation der transatlantischen Räume von Anfang an und bis auf den Tag nahezu ausschließlich nach den Maßgaben einer imperial und merkantil inspirierten Rationalität gewichtet und bewertet. Der Artikel setzt sich zum Ziel, die gängigen Perspektiven der eurozentrischen historiographischen Konstruktionen und Rekonstruktionen zur "Entdeckung" und "Eroberung" Amerikas ideologiekritisch zu durchleuchten und liefert Ansätze für eine erweiterte und adäquatere Sichtweise.
Kievan Christianity: Church and spatial-temporal identification

Published: November 2018

In the Ukrainian scientific literature, theology and journalism, the concepts of "Kievan Christianity", "Kyiv-Christian tradition of Volodymyr's baptism", "Ukrainian Orthodoxy" (not to be confused with "Orthodoxy in Ukraine"), "Churches of the Kiev Tradition "," Kiev Churches "," branches of the Kiev Church "," heirs of Vladimir baptism ", etc. However, analyzing the arguments in the disclosure of these concepts by different authors, we are confronted with the traditional problem of Ukrainian science - a variety of interpretations, engagement, and politicization of approaches. And in our case there is also a confessional approach, which many researchers can not always avoid.

The first mention of the laity in the letter of Clement to the Corinthians
Authors: Muzychka Ivan
Published: November 2018

Leg of St. Paul stepped on the European continent somewhere around the 50th in the time of his second trip from Asia Minor from the glorious Troy to today's Macedonia. Among the Europeans Pavlov's sermon has found a good ground: he founded several communities, traveling, in particular, in Philippi and in Thessalonica. But the apostle also faced a strong opposition, in particular from their Jewish brothers, who sometimes even driven him by force. From the town of Vera Paul, it was necessary to protect the city of Athens, the capital of great glory, science, philosophy, literature, art, architecture, culture. Here, the scientists wanted to listen to Pavlov "a new science" (Acts 17:19). The Pavlov's word on the Aeropagus ended in great failure and highs. Paul left Aithenes cursed, not returning more there, from neglect to "insidious philosophy" as "an empty deception" (Colossians 2: 6).

East Slavic archaic culture turned out to be much more complicated than domestic researchers have already imagined in the 20th century. Modern scholars have opened up new complex aspects that require considerable attention from researchers from various scientific fields. So, after the discovery by Soviet archaeologists BO Timoshchuk and IP Rusanova in the 80-90 years of the XX century. in Western Ukraine, the great Eastern Slavic pagan temple complexes, ancient settlements, sanctuaries and holy sites became evident the fact that Eastern Slavs had a developed pagan worldview and a complex religious system not only in the pre-Christian age, but also in the early Christian era.

Educational role of the clergy according to the teachings of the UGCC
Authors: Moroz Volodymyr
Published: November 2018

The theme of the Church's influence on the political life of the state is one that is constantly focused on the attention of the scientific community, the media and its own politics. The current legislation in Ukraine clearly separates the church from the state. However, both the church and the state are important social institutions that can not but influence one another. The official position of the state in the relevant relations is outlined again by the law. Each of the confessions of the country, through democratic freedoms and within them, is able to implement its own concept of relations with the state. Moreover, the positions of even the largest churches in Ukraine here are significantly different and significantly affect the social realities, which determines the relevance of the topic.
Interpretation of the nature of the relation of faith and reason, religion and science in the Ukrainian spiritual heritage.
Authors: Klymov Valeriy
Published: November 2018

The problem of interpreting the nature of the relation of faith and reason, religion and science to contemporary religious, scientific and Ukrainian scholars, philosophers and historians of science in the researches of spiritual development of Ukraine in the seventeenth to eighteenth centuries. is rightfully placed in dependence on the prevailing religious and church priorities of this period. In our opinion, the dominance of religious-philosophical factors and church regulations and norms in the intellectual-spiritual sphere was important, but not the only reason for the relatively weak aspirations of science, culture, education in this period of Ukraine to develop productively, independently, independently, outside the care and control of the religious-church complex.
Etymological hermeneutics as a key to understanding and writing the text (for example, the legends of Sim, Hama and Japheth: Rev. 9: 18-27)
Authors: Gusak Petro
Published: November 2018

The article deals with etymological hermeneutics of proper names as method of determining of approximate dating of a text, as well as of its content and intention of its authors or editors. The author of the article illustrates this method on example of an etymological analysis of proper names of personnages of the legend about Shem, Ham and Japheth (Gen 9, 18-27), and draws the conclusion, that their etymology is Greek, therefore one needs to date this legend with Hellenistic periode, and it was created in order to give a legal basing for dwelling of Israel on the territories of conquered peoples of Canaan. At the same time, the author is ready to admit, that the Greek etymology of the mentioned proper names is secondary and derived, if the specialists in the brances of the Old Hebrew and the Old Testament Bible Science would prove, that a Semitic etymology of the mentioned proper names is more ancient, than the Greek one.

Public quest for the transformation of faith into the educational element of religious consciousness
Authors: Gorkusha Oksana
Published: November 2018

In today's world, with extraordinary force, such religious functions as axiological, moral-regulative, ideological and compensatory are actualized. In the process of successive secularization, the influence of religion on human communities and their way of world perception, world outlook and life significantly decreased. The gradual differentiation of the forms of social consciousness has led to the fact that religions in its variations of different confessions and traditions of expression, the segment of moral and spiritual influence on humanity was left to guard. And such a situation was considered justified and expedient, especially given the harm that human communities have been making attempts to religiously legitimize a purely political decision of specific individual policy makers. Abuse of religion to cover private economic or political interests has led to negative consequences in public life, and sometimes in wars and extremism. However, with the beginning of the 21st century and the event of discrediting contemporary secular values-not-motivated regulatory forms of organization of social reality, it becomes apparent that religions have not exhausted their socio-regulatory potential.
Religious ceremonial sphere of religion: nature and laws of development
Authors: Shevchenko Vitaliy
Published: November 2018

The cult and ritual sphere is an important component of the religious complex, which is usually understood as a collection of ritual acts related to the worship of supernatural reality (the spirit, God, the Absolute ...) and aimed at achieving the bond of the believer with the object of worship. As an inalienable attribute of the religious phenomenon, the cult was created along with its occurrence and is characterized by the complication of manifestation in the process of historical development. Having an amazingly wide arsenal of expression, the ritual is usually formed on a specific religious basis and includes the cultural and artistic means of realization, ethnological features of embodiment, political and ideological factors of the order. In addition, at the level of interreligious interaction, the ritual ritual complex accumulates many elements of previous beliefs, symbolic and symbolic nature of which allows us to speak about the continuity of the religious tradition. In fact, this feature of ceremonial actions gives grounds to speak of a ritual ritual complex as a unique symbiotic entity, in spite of the fact that religious adherents are often considered to be an exclusive ritual, that is to say, the indisputable nature of their cult professed, whereas in the perception and appreciation of the wider public, associate with the top national achievements, sacred property.

Published: November 2018

An important event of the Orthodox world of the last year was the Cathedral, which took place on June 19-28 on. Mole. The extraordinary nature of this council is that it was convened 1229 years after the last (seventh) Ecumenical Council in 787, which was not yet split into Orthodoxy and Catholicism (which occurred in 1054) of a single Christian Church. The Catholic Church then independently held its 22 councils, the last of which - the Second Vatican Council was held in 1962-1965. In Orthodoxy, extraterrestrial silence prevailed, since its hierarchs believed that for the "fullness and maturity" of the Christian Church there was enough canonical work of the seven Ecumenical Councils that took place during 325-787 years.

Morality is an indispensable element of social life. Norms and values - socially embedded and determining the foundations of a culture – decide of individual and massive behaviors. Despite the cultural changes and the discourse around the ways of conceiving the ethics and morality, despite relativization of certain values and norms and consolidation of other, culturally new, morality is an integral building block of society. It is considered both as an essential component of political, economic and social life, as well as permanent element of solving social conflicts in public life and in the international field.

The Department of Religious Studies at the Institute of Philosophy of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine congratulates you and the Church under your control on the glorious anniversary of the 420th anniversary of the Brest Cathedral in 1596. This cathedral laid the foundation for the return of Ukrainian Christianity to its still confessional non-separation, to Christianity, adopted in 988 for Rus-Ukraine Volodymyr the Great. This council led simultaneously to the preservation of the Ukrainian Eastern Rite and the Ukrainian language in worship, eventually securing Ukrainians from full polonization and dipping.
Specification of "dialectic-theological" reception of the proteastant orthodoxia ideas
Authors: Strielkova Yuliya Oleksandrivna
Published: November 2018

The article examines the world view and religiously-philosophical grounds of the interest of dialectical theology representatives to the ideas of Reformation, first of all, about absolute meaningfulness of faith, leading role of Christ and priority of Holy Bible, about the necessity of unity of "internal man" with God, replacement of the authority of church by the authority of Bible. At the same time it is underlined, that within the framework of dialectical theology, unlike the protestant orthodoxy, there is a differentiation of Bible and Divine Word. Bible is not here static, and becomes the Divine Word during an event, and a meeting with God takes place in Jesus Christ as a Word Divine.

Secular stagnation in the modern world
Authors: Drobyshevsky S. M. , Trunin P. V. , Bozhechkova A. V.
Published: November 2018

The paper studies the factors of secular stagnation. Key factors of long-term slowdown in economic growth include the slowdown of technological development, aging population, human capital accumulation limits, high public debt, creative destruction process violation etc. The authors analyze key theoretical aspects of long-term stagnation and study the impact of these factors on Japanies economy. The authors conclude that most of the factors have significant influence on the Japanese economy for recent decades, but they cannot explain all dynamics. For Russia, on the contrary, we do not see any grounds for considering the decline in the economy since 2013 as an episode of secular stagnation.
Model for determining subjective and objective factors of tax evasion
Authors: Terzić Saudin
Published: November 2018

Tax evasion is affected by many diverse subjective and objective factors. They are intertwined and determined as well as mutually connected and complementary. This paper is aimed at and orientated towards identifying the factors, both subjective and objective, that affect tax evasion in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The main research result indicates that tax evasion has multiplicative effects. It destroys the reputation of institutions primarily and, in particular, the reputation of the tax administration, it poses a threat to the tax system and rule of law, causing taxpayers distrust of the tax system itself. Thus, by reducing tax evasion the situation in public finances improves substantially. The paper shows the theoretical analysis of the phenomenon of tax evasion (which is not a goal in itself), including the empirical analysis of the subjective and objective factors that have the greatest influence on tax evasion in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the assessment of the amount of taxes evaded.

Odabrana tema jednako je aktualna koliko i značajna, jer se odnosi na sektor koji je nositelj velikog broja zaposlenih koji spadaju u kategoriju deficitarnih zanimanja. Istraživanje se temelji ne samo na povijesnoj i komparativnoj metodi, nego i na teorijskim metodama kao što su metoda analize i sinteze te induktivna i deduktivna metoda. Temeljni cilj koji se želi postići izradom rada je nastojati objasniti i povezati, kroz upravljački aspekt, na koji način je poslovima osiguranja izvoza Hrvatska banka za obnovu i razvitak (HBOR) doprinijela oporavku hrvatske brodogradnje. Analizom položaja upravljačke ekonomike brodogradnje u sklopu nacionalne ekonomije, otkrivaju se modeli kojima država utječe na oporavak brodogradnje: financijska potpora, restrukturiranje, privatizacija i osiguranje izvoza. Osiguranje izvoza ima velik utjecaj na oporavak domaće brodogradnje uzme li se u obzir prisutnost visokog stupnja rizika u izvozu. Temeljni cilj osiguranja izvoza je povećanje konkurentnosti hrvatskih brodogradilišta u inozemstvu.

Magnetic Field Structure in Spheroidal Star-forming Clouds
Authors: Myers Philip C. , Basu Shantanu , Auddy Sayantan
Published: November 2018

A model of magnetic field structure is presented to help test the prevalence of flux freezing in star-forming clouds of various shapes, orientations, and degrees of central concentration, and to estimate their magnetic field strength. The model is based on weak-field flux freezing in centrally condensed Plummer spheres and spheroids of oblate and prolate shape. For a spheroid of given density contrast, aspect ratio, and inclination, the model estimates the local field strength and direction, and the global field pattern of hourglass shape. Comparisons with a polarization simulation indicate typical angle agreement within 1°–10°. Scalable analytic expressions are given to match observed polarization patterns and to provide inputs to radiative transfer codes for more accurate predictions. The model may apply to polarization observations of dense cores, elongated filamentary clouds, and magnetized circumstellar disks.
Evolution of the Solar Lyα Line Profile during the Solar Cycle. II. How Accurate Is the Present Radiation Pressure Paradigm for Interstellar Neutral H in the Heliosphere?
Authors: Kowalska-Leszczynska Izabela , Bzowski Maciej , Sokół Justyna M. , Kubiak Marzena A.
Published: November 2018

Following the derivation of a more accurate model of the evolution of the solar Lyα line with the changing solar activity by Kowalska-Leszczynska et al. (IKL18) than the formerly used model by Tarnopolski & Bzowski (ST09), we investigate the potential consequences that adoption of the resulting refined model of radiation pressure has for the model distribution of interstellar neutral (ISN) H in the inner heliosphere and on the interpretation of selected observations. We simulated the ISN H densities using the two alternative radiation pressure models and identical models of all other factors affecting the ISN H distribution. We found that during most of the solar cycle, the IKL18 model predicts larger densities of ISN H and pickup ions than ST09 in the inner heliosphere, especially in the downwind hemisphere. However, the density of ISN H at the termination shock estimated by Bzowski et al. obtained using ST09 does not need revision, and the detection of ISN D by IBEX is supported. However, we point out the existence of a considerable absorption of a portion of the solar Lyα spectral flux inside the heliosphere. Therefore, the model of radiation pressure for ISN H is still likely to need revision, and hence the available models of ISN H are not self-consistent.
The First Year of S-CUBED: The Swift Small Magellanic Cloud Survey
Authors: Kennea J. A. , Coe M. J. , Evans P. A. , Waters J. , Jasko R. E.
Published: November 2018

The Swift Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) Survey, S-CUBED, is a high-cadence shallow X-ray survey of the SMC. The survey consists of 142 tiled pointings covering the optical extent of the SMC, which is performed weekly by NASA’s Neil Gehrels
Swift
Observatory, with an exposure per tile of 60 s. The survey is focused on discovery and monitoring of X-ray outbursts from the large known and unknown population of Be/X-ray binaries (BeXRBs) in the SMC. Given the very low background of Swift’s X-ray telescope, even with a short exposure per tile, S-CUBED is typically sensitive to outbursts in the SMC at >1%–2% Eddington luminosity for a typical 1.4 M
⊙ neutron star compact object. This sensitivity, combined with the high cadence and the fact that the survey can be performed all year round, makes it a powerful discovery tool for outbursting accreting X-ray pulsars in the SMC. In this paper we describe results from the first year of observations of S-CUBED, which includes the 1SCUBEDX catalog of 265 X-ray sources, 160 of which are not identified with any previously cataloged X-ray source. We report on bulk properties of sources in the 1SCUBEDX catalog. Finally, we focus on results of S-CUBED observations of several interesting sources, which includes discovery of three Type II outbursts from BeXRBs and the detection of Type I outbursts and orbital periods in six BeXRB systems.
A Deep X-Ray Look at Abell 2142—Viscosity Constraints From Kelvin–Helmholtz Eddies, a Displaced Cool Peak That Makes a Warm Core, and A Possible Plasma Depletion Layer
Authors: Wang Qian H. S. , Markevitch Maxim
Published: November 2018

We analyzed 200 ks of Chandra ACIS observations of the merging galaxy cluster A2142 to examine its prominent cold fronts in detail. We find that the southern cold front exhibits well-developed Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) eddies seen in the sky plane. Comparing their wavelength and amplitude with those in hydrodynamic simulations of cold fronts in viscous gas, and estimating the gas tangential velocity from centripetal acceleration, we constrain the effective viscosity to be at most 1/5 of Spitzer isotropic viscosity, but consistent with full Braginskii anisotropic viscosity for magnetized plasma. While the northwestern front does not show obvious eddies, its shape and the structure of its brightness profile suggest KH eddies seen in projection. The southern cold front continues in a spiral to the center of the cluster, ending with another cold front only 12 kpc from the gas density peak. The cool peak itself is displaced ∼30 kpc from the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) (the biggest such offset among centrally peaked clusters), while the X-ray emission on a larger scale is still centered on the BCG, indicating that the BCG is at the center of the gravitational potential and the cool gas is sloshing in it. The specific entropy index of the gas in the peak (K ≈ 49 keV cm2) makes A2142 a rare “warm core”; apparently the large displacement of the cool peak by sloshing is the reason. Finally, we find a subtle narrow, straight channel with a 10% drop in X-ray brightness, aligned with the southern cold front—possibly a plasma depletion layer in projection.
Expert Opinion on Managing Chronic HCV in Patients with Neuropsychiatric Manifestations
Authors: Forton Daniel , Weissenborn Karin , Bondin Mark , Cacoub Patrice
Published: November 2018

Neurological manifestations of HCV infection appear to be under-recognized in clinical practice despite the majority of HCV-infected patients experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, depression and cognitive dysfunction. There is also growing evidence for a link between HCV infection and an increased risk of Parkinson's disease. The mechanism underpinning the association between HCV and these neuropsychiatric syndromes still requires further investigation. Here we review the pre-clinical and clinical evidence for a link between HCV and effects on the central nervous system leading to neuropsychiat-ric syndromes. Lastly, we describe how improvements in neuro psychiatric manifestations of HCV following treatment have been observed, which is subsequently refected in an overall improvement in health-related quality of life.
Expert Opinion on the Management of Renal Manifestations of Chronic HCV Infection
Authors: Fabrizi Fabrizio , Negro Francesco , Bondin Mark , Cacoub Patrice
Published: November 2018

Chronic HCV infection is a non-traditional (but modifable) risk factor for chronic kidney disease and has been implicated in glomerular injury and nephrosclerotic disease. Three HCV direct-acting antiviral regimens are available for patients with severe kidney impairment: ombi-tasvir, paritaprevir with the pharmacokinetic enhancer ritonavir, and dasabuvir; glecaprevir plus pibrentasvir; and elbasvir plus grazoprevir. In patients with severe kidney impairment, sofosbuvir-free regimens are preferred because sofosbuvir accumulation has been associated with a progressive worsening of renal function. In this Review, we provide our expert opinion on the current HCV treatment paradigm and highlight the remaining issues that need to be overcome to improve the treatment of HCV in this population.
Expert Opinion on Managing Chronic HCV in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease

Published: November 2018

Extrahepatic manifestations of chronic HCV infection include cardiovascular diseases and an increase in cardiovascular mortality. The pathogenic mechanisms by which HCV contributes to cardiovascular disease are not well defined, however, it is likely that systemic inflammation, and the promotion of other metabolic diseases are involved. In this Review, the evidence for HCV infection as a non-traditional risk factor for cardiovascular disease is evaluated. Furthermore, practical advice to evaluate cardiovascular disease risk and disease in chronic hepatitis C patients are included for help in daily clinical practice. Despite the advances in therapies for the treatment of HCV, there remains a need for increased awareness among specialists so that patients are more likely to obtain the treatment required to mitigate disease progression.

Authors: Midha Neha , Sidhu Talvir , Chaturvedi Neha , Sinha Renu , Shende Dilip R. , Dada Tanuj , Gupta Viney , Sihota Ramanjit
Published: November 2018

Purpose:

To review systemic associations of childhood glaucoma.

Methods:

Patients younger than 15 years and diagnosed as having glaucoma were divided into four groups: isolated primary congenital glaucoma, glaucoma with other congenital ocular anomalies, congenital glaucoma with known systemic diseases, and secondary glaucoma. Prevalence and type of systemic associations in each group were studied.

Results:

A retrospective analysis of 371 patients diagnosed as having glaucoma was done. In the primary congenital glaucoma group, 13 of 218 (5.9%) patients had an associated systemic illness: congenital heart disease and global developmental delay were the most common systemic manifestations. In the congenital ocular anomalies group, 10 of 63 (15.8%) patients had an associated systemic illness. Axenfeld-Reiger syndrome, aniridia, and Peters' anomaly frequently had systemic comorbidities with congenital heart disease. In the known systemic diseases group, all 18 (100%) patients had systemic manifestations of an associated syndrome: Sturge-Weber and Down syndrome were the most frequent. In the secondary glaucoma group, 9 of 72 (12.5%) patients had systemic involvement, which was often seen as the most common cause after congenital cataract surgery. These children had congenital heart disease and global developmental delay as a consequence of congenital rubella and congenital cytomegalovirus infection.

Conclusions:

The study found that 12.9% of patients with childhood glaucoma had an associated systemic abnormality. Patients with congenital glaucoma and other ocular anomalies have a three times higher risk of an underlying systemic anomaly than patients with isolated primary congenital glaucoma. A team comprising an ophthalmologist, pediatrician, and anesthesiologist is recommended to treat these cases.

Prosociality as a Form of Productive Aging: Predictors and Their Relationship With Subjective Well-Being
Authors: Serrat Eva Graboleda , González-Carrasco Mònica , Casas Ferran Aznar , Malo Sara Cerrato
Published: November 2018

The current study emphasizes the importance of active and productive aging to promote health and autonomy among older adults, highlighting effects on social and familial levels. A questionnaire was administered to a sample of 198 individuals older than 65 living in Palafrugell, Spain with the objective of determining which factors influence informal helping behavior among older adults and the relationship between these factors and well-being and variables such as perception of health and economic status. Satisfaction with free time and participation in various activities, as well as education level in individuals younger than 80, were identified as predictors of helping behavior. A statistically significant and positive relationship was observed between helping others and satisfaction with free time and feeling happy. This study contributes to understanding prosocial behavior among older adults by examining the relationship between prosocial behavior and subjective well-being and contribution to productive aging.

La construcción del retablo mayor del Real Monasterio de Santiago de Uclés y sus artífices
Authors: Jiménez Hortelano Sonia
Published: November 2018

El retablo del convento de Santiago de Uclés fue sin duda, el gran exponente del retablo barroco cortesano en el ámbito conquense. Esta pieza, de inestimable valor artístico, fue mutilada y destruida en el contexto de la Guerra Civil española y prácticamente olvidada por la historiografía artística. En este artículo, a partir del análisis de documentación gráfica conservada, la comparativa con obras similares y el estudio de fuentes documentales inéditas recompondremos el proceso de construcción de este objeto mueble y de los artistas que intervinieron en su construcción. De igual modo, contextualizaremos la fabricación de esta obra dentro de la tipología de retablo en la que se enmarca y las motivaciones del monasterio santiaguista por contar con una obra de estas características.

The aim of this study was to compare family communication patterns among Iranian individuals with blindness, deafness and individuals with typically developing. The statistical population consisted of all Iranian individuals with blindness, deafness and individuals with typically developing in Shiraz, Iran. The sample consisted of 116 individuals (32 individuals with blindness, 21 individuals with deafness, and 63 individuals with typically developing). The Revised Family Communication Patterns scale was used for measuring the family communication patterns. Multivariate analysis of variance test were used for data analysis. The results showed that conversation orientation in individuals with typically developing were significantly higher than individuals with blindness and deafness (P<.001). Furthermore, conversation orientation in individuals with blindness was significantly higher than individuals with deafness (P<.001). Moreover, the findings showed that the conformity orientation in individuals with blindness and deafness were significantly higher than individuals with typically developing (P<.001). It should be noted that there was no significant difference among individuals with blindness and deafness in terms of conformity orientation. The results of the study indicated that reforming of family communication patterns is essential for individuals with blindness and deafness.

Published: November 2018

An aqueous extraction of moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaves were prepared as the edible coats for keeping the quality of the giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii). In addition, the antioxidant properties and activity; total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid contents (TFC), free radical scavenging activity (DPPH), and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) of moringa leaves were also determined. The phenolic compounds and antioxidant properties in the moringa leaves are low; 16.14 mgGAEg-1 for TPC; 5.57 mgQEg-1 for TFC; 1.36 mgTEg-1 for DPPH; and 3.05 mgTEg-1 for FRAP. The experiment was further conducted by coating the M. rosenbergii with moringa leaves extraction before chilled storage at 4°C for 15 days. Moringa leaves extraction were effectively reduced the microflora count in M. rosenbergii (P<0.05). Total volatile basis nitrogen (TVB-N) value showed a significant (P<0.05) lower amount in treated samples compared to the controls. Melanosis were obvious in controls compared to the treated samples. After 15 days of chilled storage, the sensory properties; taste, texture and odour of treated samples were acceptable by the panelists. Biopreservation of moringa leaves extraction significantly benefits in keeping the quality of M. rosenbergii.

Published: November 2018

Abstract. Light-absorbing organic carbon (or brown carbon, BrC) in atmospheric
particles has received much attention for its potential role in global
radiative forcing. While a number of field measurement campaigns have
differentiated light absorption by black carbon (BC) and BrC, the chemical
characteristics of BrC are not well understood. In this study, we present
co-located real-time light absorption and chemical composition measurements
of atmospheric particles to explore the relationship between the chemical and
optical characteristics of BrC at a suburban site downwind of Guangzhou,
China, from November to December 2014. BrC and BC contributions to light
absorption were estimated using measurements from a seven-wavelength
aethalometer, while the chemical composition of non-refractory PM1 was
measured with a high-resolution time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer
(HR-ToF-AMS). Using the absorption Ångström exponent (AAE) method, we
estimated that BrC contributed 23.6 % to the total aerosol absorption at
370 nm, 18.1 % at 470 nm, 10.7 % at 520 nm, 10.7 % at 590 nm,
and 10.5 % at 660 nm. Biomass burning organic aerosol (BBOA) has the
highest mass absorption coefficient among sources of organic aerosols. Its
contribution to total brown carbon absorption coefficient decreased but that
of low-volatility oxygenated organic aerosol (LVOOA) increased with
increasing wavelength, suggesting the need for wavelength-dependent light
absorption analysis for BrC in association with its chemical makeup. Clear
correlations of N-containing ion fragments with absorption coefficient were
observed. These correlations also depended on their degrees of
unsaturation/cyclization and oxygenation. While the current study relates
light absorption by BrC to ion fragments, more detailed chemical
characterization is warranted to constrain this relationship.
