EVALUATION OF TEMPERATURE CHANGES IN ANAEROBIC DIGESTION PROCESS
Authors: Önen Cinar Senem , Kuchta Kerstin
Published: March 2020

The study examines the effect of temperature fluctuations on biogas production efficiency in biogas plants with the aim of evaluating the temperature flexibility of the process. Laboratory scale batch reactors were prepared with the chosen substrate (Dried Distillers Grains with Soluble, DDDS) and the study was conducted in three batches. A biogas formation potential test was implemented in each batch in a temperature-controlled room and in a temperature controlled water bath. The temperature changes took place on the third day of tests to evaluate the effect of 5°C, 10°C and 15°C increases on biogas production efficiency in separate test sets. Batch experiments showed that it is possible to ensure process recovery after 5°C and 10°C increases. Overall, the specific biomethane production was obtained between 364-412 Nml CH4 / g oDM. Unlike 5°C and 10°C increases, after 15°C increase a lower methane content was obtained. These results show that it is possible to have flexible temperature operation in the process, even with high-temperature increases.
Role of biogenic waste and residues as an important building block towards a successful energy transition and future bioeconomy – results of a site analysis
Authors: Schüch Andrea , Sprafke Jan , Nelles Michael
Published: March 2020

Renewable energies – especially wind and solar – have grown remarkably in recent years, but bioenergy is still the most important renewable resource worldwide and in Germany. In contrast to the situation in many other countries, bioenergy in Germany is often based on energy crops. As a result of changing political frameworks, the German bioenergy industry has to use alternative substrates as biogenic waste and residues and to implement more efficient utilization pathways. Biogenic waste and residues can cover in Germany 7 to 9% of the current total primary energy consumption. In the federal state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, more electricity is produced than consumed. This means that the federal state exports electricity to other German regions or abroad, assuming grid bottlenecks do not prevent this. The share of fluctuating wind and solar power is still increasing. Without stabilization by coal power plants, the electrical network could be destabilized by those sources. The presented case study of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania shows that there are opportunities to contribute to a stable network through the use of bioenergy. Besides the supply of electricity, thermal energy at different temperature levels, as well as fuels for transportation, are also provided by biomass. Around 22% of the annual energy consumption of the federal state could be covered by biogenic waste and residues (based on the technical fuel potential). The figure is currently 7.3%. This shows that there is room to extend bioenergy generation and the use of biogenic waste and residues in the bioeconomy without impacting food production.

Pemerintah terus melakukan upaya untuk meningkatkan kepatuhan pajak. Salah satunya dengan melakukan sinergi melalui joint audit. Joint auditdiharapkan bukan hanya optimalisasi penerimaan negara dan penegakan hukum di bidang perpajakan, kepabeanan dan/atau cukai, namun peningkatan kepatuhan perpajakan dan kepabeanan dan cukai.  Berdasarkan literatur review dan wawancara dengan tim joint audit, antara pemeriksaan pajak dan audit bea dan cukai masing-masing memiliki kesamaan karakteristik yang dapat saling memperkuat dan juga terdapat perbedaan-perbedaan yang dapat didayagunakan agar saling mengisi dan melengkapi. Adanya kecenderungan Wajib Pajak untuk melakukan overstate biaya dapat dengan mudah dideteksi sebagai temuan audit bagi auditor bea dan cukai, melalui skema joint audit. Sebaliknya adanya laporan importasi yang cenderung kecil dari hasil audit bea dan cukai dapat digunakan untuk melakukan koreksi harga pokok produksi dalam pemeriksaan pajak. Adanya fasilitas langsung yang diberikan oleh DJBC, berupa penangguhan pembayaran bea masuk, membuat Wajib Pajak cenderung lebih kooperatif terhadap auditor bea dan cukai. Pemeriksa pajak dapat memaksimalkan situasi tersebut dengan mengoptimalkan akses data dalam melaksanakan joint audit. Lebih lanjut, Pemeriksaan pajak yang cenderung meluas dan tidak-mendalam dapat di-support dengan audit bea dan cukai yang dalam dan tajam. Dengan sinergi ini, skema join audit dapat menutup keterbatasan pemeriksaan atau audit, melengkapi temuan sehingga pemeriksaan pajak maupun audit bea dan cukai menjadi jauh lebih komprehensif dan tajam

Published: March 2020

The human face is an entity that has semantic features. Face detection is the first step before face recognition. Face recognition technique is an identification process based on facial features. One feature extraction approach for facial recognition techniques is the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method. The PCA method is used to simplify facial features and characteristics in order to obtain proportions that are able to represent the characteristics of the original face. The purpose of this research is to construct facial patterns stored in a digital image database. The process of pattern construction and face recognition starts from objects in the form of face images, side detection, pattern construction until it can determine the similarity of face patterns to proceed as face recognition. In this research, a program has been designed to test some samples of face data stored in a digital image database so that it can provide a similarity in the face patterns being observed and its introduction using PCA

Динамика двух лазеров, связанных взаимной модуляцией добротности
Authors: Мустафин А.
Published: March 2020

В приближении скоростных уравнений построена математическая модель синхронизации двух одномодовых полупроводниковых лазеров. Модель представляет собой систему нелинейных обыкновенных дифференциальных уравнений для концентраций электронов и плотностей фотонов в обоих лазерах. Особенность модели состоит в характере связи между лазерами — она устроена так, что удельные потери каждого лазера пропорциональны интенсивности излучения другого. Помимо того, в уравнениях учитываются нелинейные (квадратичные) потери излучения. Система исследована методами теории бифуркаций и многих масштабов. Показано, что модель проявляет различное поведениепри сильной и слабой связи между лазерами. При сильной связи в системе нет колебаний, и в то же время возможны бистабильность и гистерезис. При слабой связи в системе возможно возникновение предельного цикла и пичковых релаксационных колебаний. Выявлено, что синхронные колебания плотности фотонов в лазерах происходят в антифазе. Сделан вывод о возможности применения предложенной схемы синхронизации для получения длиннопериодических осцилляций.
Ustawodawstwo cesarskie wobec rozruchów na tle religijnym na przykładzie konstytucji zachowanych w „Codex Theodosianus 16.4: De His, Qui Super Religione Contendunt”
Authors: Świętoń Adam
Published: March 2020

Autor omawia cztery konstytucje zamieszczone w czwartym tytule szesnastej księgi Kodeksu Teodozjusza, poświęconym prowadzeniu dysput religijnych. Spory o kształt doktryny  chrześcijańskiej przeradzały się w IV wieku w zamieszki godzące w ład publiczny. Konflikt religijny często wchodził w interferencję z napięciami powodowanymi przez przemiany społeczne, ekonomiczne i polityczne. W polityce wewnętrznej cesarstwa zaczęła pojawiać się koncepcja jednolitości systemu religijnego jako jednego z wymogów stabilnego funkcjonowania państwa. Konstytucje cesarskie, zamieszczone w omawianym tytule były, przed redakcją Kodeksu i jego ogłoszeniem w 438 roku, wydawane w związku z konkretnymi przypadkami niepokojów i zamieszek towarzyszących dysputom religijnym. Pierwotnym celem ich promulgacji było przywrócenie porządku publicznego oraz zwalczanie herezji. Jednak kompozycja tytułu De his, qui super religione contendunt każe zadać pytanie o cel takiej redakcji. Można rozważyć, czy po 438 roku ograniczono, albo zakazano całkowicie toczenia jakichkolwiek dysput religijnych bez aprobaty cesarza.
Quality of Life among Iranian Postmenopausal Women: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Sharifi Khadijeh , Tagharrobi Zahra , Sooki Zahra
Published: March 2020

Menopause can cause mental, physical, vasomotor, and sexual symptoms and problems, which negatively affect the quality of life (QOL). The aim of this study was to systematically evaluate QOL among Iranian postmenopausal women. This systematic review was conducted on cross-sectional studies that were published between 2000 and 2018. An online search to find studies published in English or Persian was conducted in the databases of Web of Science, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Google Scholar, Scientific Information Database, Magiran, and IranMedex. Search key terms were “quality of life”, “menopause”, and “Iran”. Fourteen studies were eligible for this study. The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) checklist was used for quality appraisal. The mean and standard deviation of QOL and its domains were extracted from the selected studies. Study data were analyzed using the Review Manager (v. 5.0) and the STATA (v. 12.0) software. The mean of total QOL among 3413 postmenopausal women was 57.89±12.8 (in the possible range of 0–174). The means of its vasomotor, psychosocial, physical, and sexual domains were 7.86±2.14, 19.43±2.05, 40.58±3.33, and 6.71±1.77, respectively. The QOL among Iranian postmenopausal women is nearly higher than the moderate level. The lowest and the highest levels of QOL are related to the physical and sexual domains, respectively. Health authorities need to develop educational interventions to promote postmenopausal women’s QOL, particularly in the physical domain. [GMJ.2020;9:e1649]

OBJECTIVE

Endoscopic surgery is an effective treatment strategy for pituitary adenomas; however, intrinsic tumor properties such as tumor consistency can challenge or preclude gross-total resection. Preoperative characterization of tumor consistency may help to guide the surgical approach and to predict the extent of resection that is possible. Advanced radiological modalities such as 7T diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) may be useful in probing biological tissue properties of pituitary adenomas. The objective of the present study was to examine 7T DWI as a novel method of measuring the consistency of pituitary adenomas.

METHODS

Thirteen patients with pituitary macroadenomas underwent 7T MRI, including a DWI image acquisition. Tumor apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) was normalized to the adjacent temporal gray matter ADC. All patients underwent resection, and a single neurosurgeon blinded to ADC values rated tumor firmness from 1 (least firm) to 5 (most firm) using objective criteria. The tumor specimens were evaluated histopathologically for cellularity, collagen content, and vascularity by a neuropathologist who was also blinded to ADC values. The tumor ADC was correlated with intraoperative consistency rating, histopathology, and extent of resection. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were performed to identify thresholds to predict tumor consistency.

RESULTS

Corrected ADC values were significantly correlated with both tumor firmness (r = −0.60, p = 0.029) and the extent of trichrome staining (r = −0.72, p = 0.009) such that greater ADC values were associated with both decreased tumor firmness and decreased collagen staining. Correlations between ADC values and tumor vascularity were not significant (r = −0.09, p = 0.78). Corrected ADC values in totally resected tumors (1.54) were greater than those in subtotally resected tumors (0.85) (p = 0.02), and ADC values were greater with moderate tumor cellularity (1.51) than with high tumor cellularity (0.8) (p = 0.035). There was a trend-level association for partial resections to exhibit greater tumor firmness rating (3 vs 1.7; p = 0.051). Finally, the degree of trichrome staining positively correlated with tumor firmness (r = 0.60, p = 0.04). The optimal threshold for predicting intraoperative consistency rating was an ADC ratio of 0.87 (sensitivity 80%, specificity 100%, area under the curve [AUC] 0.90; p = 0.043). The optimal cutoff for distinguishing the extent of resection was 1.19 (sensitivity 85.7%, specificity 83.3% AUC 0.833; p = 0.046).

CONCLUSIONS

The authors’ results suggest that a high-resolution ADC of pituitary adenomas is a sensitive measure of tumor consistency. 7T DWI may hold clinical value in the preoperative workup and surgical management of patients with pituitary macroadenomas.

Published: March 2020

OBJECTIVE

The Management of Myelomeningocele Study demonstrated that fetal surgery, as compared to postnatal repair, decreases the rate of hydrocephalus and improves expected motor function. However, fetal surgery is associated with significant maternal and neonatal risks including uterine wall dehiscence, prematurity, and fetal or neonatal death. The goal of this study was to provide information about counseling expectant mothers regarding myelomeningocele in the era of fetal surgery.

METHODS

The authors conducted an extensive review of topics pertinent to counseling in the setting of myelomeningocele and introduce a new model for shared decision-making to aid practitioners during counseling.

RESULTS

Expectant mothers must decide in a timely manner among several potential options, namely termination of pregnancy, postnatal surgery, or fetal surgery. Multiple factors influence the decision, including maternal health, fetal heath, financial resources, social support, risk aversion, access to care, family planning, and values. In many cases, it is a difficult decision that benefits from the guidance of a pediatric neurosurgeon.

CONCLUSIONS

The authors review critical issues of prenatal counseling for myelomeningocele and discuss the process of shared decision-making as a framework to aid expectant mothers in choosing the treatment option best for them.

Published: March 2020

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to evaluate postoperative seizure outcome in children with drug-resistant epilepsy not eligible for focal resection who underwent corpus callosotomy.

METHODS

The study included 16 patients undergoing corpus callosotomy between September 2015 and May 2018. Seizure semiology and frequency, psychomotor status, and video electroencephalography and imaging findings were evaluated for all patients.

RESULTS

Of the 16 patients who underwent callosotomy during the study period, 11 underwent complete callosotomy and 5 underwent anterior only. Seizure improvement greater than 75% was achieved in 37.5% of patients, and another 50% of patients had seizure improvement of 50%–75%. No sustained neurological deficits were observed in these patients. There were no significant complications. Duration of postoperative follow-up ranged from 12 to 44 months.

CONCLUSIONS

Corpus callosotomy is an effective treatment for selected patients with drug-resistant epilepsy not eligible for focal resection in resource-limited settings. Fostering and developing international epilepsy surgery centers should remain a high priority for the neurosurgical community at large.
La protección de Áreas Naturales Protegidas federales en México: relación entre los “burócratas de a pie” y la superficie territorial de las ANP
Authors: Castro Salazar Jesús Ignacio , Camacho García Ma. Ofelia
Published: March 2020

La designación de Áreas Naturales Protegidas representa una estrategia importante dentro de la política ambiental para la conservación de especies. Las áreas protegidas están propensas a acciones humanas externas e internas que ponen en riesgo su conservación. En las estrategias para el fortalecimiento de la política y gestión de áreas protegidas, la aplicación de la ley resulta indispensable. Los inspectores facultados para aplicar la ley ayudan a reducir actividades ilegales dentro de áreas protegidas. Verificar el cumplimiento de la ley de manera continua es crucial para mitigar los impactos negativos dentro de dichas áreas. El presente documento tiene el objetivo de analizar el número de inspectores por superficie territorial de área protegida por entidad federativa. A partir de información recogida en bases de datos de instituciones gubernamentales se identificó, por un lado, una insuficiencia de personal para cubrir la mayor cantidad de superficie territorial de áreas protegidas, y por otro, que el incremento de la superficie territorial de áreas protegidas en muchos casos no va acompañado de un aumento en el número de inspectores. Entidades federativas con mayor superficie de áreas protegidas llegan a tener el mismo o menor número de inspectores para vigilar el cumplimiento de la ley que entidades con extensiones más reducidas.
Russification of Orthodoxy in Ukraine as a Means of Assimilation of the Ukrainian Ethnicity
Authors: Verheles K.
Published: March 2020

Searching for Ukraine's cultural identity is one of the most urgent tasks in the process of building an independent state. Defining itself today in new coordinates, Ukraine looks back to find productive models of coexistence with certain nations. It turned out that religion and church played an important role in the self-identification of Ukrainians, who were not only markers of Ukrainianness but also formed the latter. However, not all churches that prevailed in Ukraine were focused on the interests of the Ukrainian people. The negative consequences for the development of Orthodoxy in Ukraine were the policy of Russification of the Russian autocracy, which concerned primarily the linguistic, religious and cultural spheres. These problems (the planting of a foreign language and culture) were not allowed to write until the early 1990's. Russian cultural influences were presented as brotherly aid, as Slavic solidarity in the fight against other Slavic brothers, including the Poles. Therefore, it is time to speak honestly and openly about those factors that hindered the full formation of the Ukrainian national consciousness, deprived it of a distinct identity, and led to a partial assimilation of the Ukrainian ethnic group
LISTENING IN NATIVE LANGUAGE TRAINING OF FUTURE CIVIL DEFENSE OFFICERS
Authors: Babiy I.
Published: March 2020

Introduction. A modern higher school wants a teacher to use effective teaching methods that ensure the intensive development of such professionally important skills for future civil defense officers as listening ones, in particular, to perceive a text (using visual and / or auditory channels), to comprehend, to select the necessary from the heard / read information, to reproduce, and to interpret. The problem under study was especially relevant in the conditions of updating higher education. Purpose. Analysis of modern methodological foundations of listening and determination of methods and techniques for the formation of auditory skills in the process of native-language training of future civil defense officers. Results. The article deals with hermeneutic and communicative-pragmatic approaches in the linguo-didactic aspect. The outlined approaches allow us to determine the methodological basis for auditory skills formation since they help resolve the problem of understanding and interpretation of the text, as well as analyze linguistic facts in view of the social, psychological, and cultural characteristics of the speaker and the listener. The contents of “listening” and “active listening” concepts are clarified; the basic psychological mechanisms, psycholinguistic factors of formation and development of cadets’ / students’ listening skills in the process of native-language training are determined. The author considers various classifications of listening in domestic linguistics, namely: global, detailed, critical and non-reflective / reflexive ones and stresses the urgency of the critical type of listening for the future civil defense officers, as it implies a reaction to what has been heard, its interpretation, and critical reflection. The structure of listening which includes such components as: perception, comparison-recognition, and understanding, is characterized; the sequence of actions and operations of listening as a type of educational activity (perceptual, thinking, mnemonic, reflexive ones) are revealed. The basic requirements for texts for listening are analyzed; the most effective methods of working with a text are determined; alternatives to listening using video materials and movies are suggested. Conclusion. Listening, including correctly selected texts or video materials and post-textual exercises, in the process of native language training of future civil defense officers, allows to solve a number of linguistic and methodo-logical problems: it develops hearing and memory, trains the ability to highlight the most informative parts of the message, to correlate the text with the situation of the message, and to interpret what has been heard.

Ethnomusicology, as a unique research field, combined an interest in music both in the form of art and in its sociocultural context. This paper is devoted to the research activity of J. Herzog, thanks to whose efforts the study of folk “primitive” music went beyond musicology and diversified the subject area of cultural anthropology. The relevance of this study is due to the fact that the name of Herzog and his views are not well known in Russia, except for specialized areas of ethnographic and musicological nature.

Methodology and sources. As a methodological basis, a comparative historical methodology and a structural-functional method are used to study scientific texts and subsequent processing and generalization of the theoretical constructs of G. Herzog. A biographical method wasused as well to understand the context of time and reveal the scientist’s intellectual genesis.

Results and discussion. One of the pioneers in the field of ethnomusicology, G. Herzog used transcription methods and sound analysis in combination with theories and methods of the Boas school, which included the concept of diffusion and the method of field work. Interdisciplinary cooperation in the study of primitive and folk music was an important step for the researcher, since this approach brought the study of folk music to a new level of conceptualization. Herzog was interested in explaining and classifying primitive music and songs in terms of the “root” terms and concepts used by his informants.

Conclusion. The interdisciplinary approach in the use of methods for fixing and interpreting musical material in ethnomusicological research by G. Herzog made it possible to overcome the evolutionary linear methodology of studying the musical culture of primitive peoples and draw attention to the context of performance and performers.

Authors: Vaghela Radhika , Mandot Sanjay
Published: March 2020

Background: Simple febrile seizure (FS) is the most common type of childhood seizure. Iron plays an important role in brain metabolism, neurotransmitter function, and myelination. Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) has been found to be associated with an increased incidence of FS. Objective: The objective of the study was to study the prevalence of IDA in simple FS patients and febrile patients without seizure. Materials and Methods: All admitted febrile children between 6 months and 5 years were enrolled in the study according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and a detailed clinical examination was done. Blood samples were collected for complete blood count, blood indices, and serum ferritin. Results: IDA was present in 28 out of 50 patients in the case group and 18 of 50 patients in the control group (p<0.05). Mean hemoglobin and mean serum ferritin levels were significantly lower in the case group when compared to the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: All the investigations carried out to evaluate the IDA were significantly lower in the case group as compared to the control group. This suggested that iron-deficient children were more prone to get FS.
