A decision support system for developing the managerial policy of urban paratransit services: A case study of the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority
Authors: Melachrinoudis Emanuel , Min Hokey , Selneck Candace
Published: January 2019

In the wake of the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) of 1990, paratransit services were offered to improve mobility, employment opportunities, and access to community services for individuals who are mentally or physically handicapped. Due to the complexity involved in ADA rules and transportation regulations as well as the customized, on-demand service requirements, paratransit services are far more costly to render than fixed-route based mass transit services. In times of ongoing budget crisis among public entities, many public transit authorities cope with a dilemma of meeting the growing demand and complex service requirements, while controlling rising paratransit costs. Considering this dilemma, this paper proposes a decision support system (DSS) that can aid the mass transit authority in evaluating paratransit service performance, while continually improving performance over time. To validate the usefulness of the proposed DSS, it has been applied to the actual case of the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority (MBTA).

Correlation between eye and renal complications of diabetes
Authors: Anisic Katarina , Davidovic Sofija
Published: January 2019

Introduction. Complications of diabetes can affect almost all tissues and
organs, causing high morbidity, disability and mortality. The aim of this
study was to examine eye and kidney disorders of patients with patients
with diabetes, and assess the correlation between them. Material and
Methods. This retrospective study included 45 patients suffering from type
2 diabetes for more than ten years. The patients were divided into three
groups of 15 subjects each: patients without diabetic retinopathy, patients
with non-proliferative retinopathy, and patients with proliferative diabetic
retinopathy. Results. The average levels of fasting blood glucose and
glycosylated hemoglobin were highest in patients with proliferative diabetic
retinopathy (11.27 mmol/l and 8.48%, respectively). Of 30 patients with
diabetic eye diseases, diabetic maculopathy was found in 60% of cases; of
those, 20% had non-proliferative retinopathy and 40% had proliferative
retinopathy. The mean values of best corrected visual acuity, in both eyes,
were 0.45 in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy, while mean
values of serum urea and creatinine, creatinine clearance, and 24-h
albuminuria in this group were 7.37 mmol/l, 106.13 ?mol/l, 72.80 ml/min, and
346.31 mg/24h, respectively. Conclusion. Severe forms of diabetic
retinopathy and nephropathy were found in patients with poor metabolic
regulation. A correlation between diabetic eye and kidney diseases was
established, and the level of visual damage correlated with the degree of
renal function impairment.
Management of pulmonary embolism
Authors: Lazovic Biljana , Zugic Vladimir
Published: January 2019

Introduction. Pulmonary embolism is a common condition with high morbidity
and mortality, particularly if misdiagnosed or untreated. It has non-specific
clinical manifestations, often presenting with symptoms similar to other
cardiovascular or common respiratory diseases. Dyspnea is the most common
symptom. The main goals of pulmonary embolism therapy are to stop blood clots
from getting bigger and prevent formation of new clots. The aim of this
article was to review the clinical presentation, incidence, diagnostic
algorithms and prevention of pulmonary embolism. Management of pulmonary
embolism. The management of pulmonary embolism depends on patients?
hemodynamic stability (hemodynamically stabile and hemodynamically unstable
patients), as well as on specific conditions (population who cannot receive
the same therapy as the previously mentioned patients). The management is
largely focused on medical therapy of pulmonary embolism, as the first line
therapy (emergency) and then on medical options for this disease. Special
attention was given to urgent intravenous thrombolytic therapy in
hemodynamically unstable patients, considering that these patients are the
most vitally compromised, in shock and with high mortality rate. The initial
treatment in hemodynamically stable patients consists of low molecular weight
heparin and unfractionated heparin, which is later replaced by long term oral
anticoagulation therapy. Its duration depends on the nature of the basic
disease. Some populations cannot receive any thrombolytic therapy (pregnant
women, patients suffering from malignant diseases and heparin-induced
thrombocytopenia). These patients may receive low molecular weight heparin,
unfractionated heparin and warfarin; patients with malignant diseases receive
life-long anticoagulation therapy; argatroban or lepirudin are used in the
management of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. Conclusion. Prevention of
pulmonary embolism is lifesaving. It includes prophylactic medical regimens
and ?mechanical? supportive therapy (elastic graduated compression stockings,
inferior vena cava filters).
Visit-to-Visit Glycemic Variability and Risks of Cardiovascular Events and All-Cause Mortality: The ALLHAT Study
Authors: Echouffo-Tcheugui Justin B. , Zhao Songzhu , Brock Guy , Matsouaka Roland A. , Kline David , Joseph Joshua J.
Published: January 2019

OBJECTIVE

The prognostic value of long-term glycemic variability is incompletely understood. We evaluated the influence of visit-to-visit variability (VVV) of fasting blood glucose (FBG) on incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We conducted a prospective cohort analysis including 4,982 participants in the Antihypertensive and Lipid-Lowering Treatment to Prevent Heart Attack Trial (ALLHAT) who attended the baseline, 24-month, and 48-month visits. VVV of FBG was defined as the SD or variability independent of the mean (VIM) across FBG measurements obtained at the three visits. Participants free of CVD during the first 48 months of the study were followed for incident CVD (coronary heart disease [CHD], stroke, and heart failure [HF]) and all-cause mortality.

RESULTS

Over a median follow-up of 5 years, there were 305 CVD events (189 CHD, 45 stroke, and 81 HF) and 154 deaths. The adjusted hazard ratio (HR) comparing participants in the highest versus lowest quartile of SD of FBG (≥26.4 vs. <5.5 mg/dL) was 1.43 (95% CI 0.93–2.19) for CVD and 2.22 (95% CI 1.22–4.04) for all-cause mortality. HR for VIM was 1.17 (95% CI 0.84–1.62) for CVD and 1.89 (95% CI 1.21–2.93) for all-cause mortality. Among individuals without diabetes, the highest quartile of SD of FBG (HR 2.67 [95% CI 0.14–6.25]) or VIM (HR 2.50 [95% CI 1.40–4.46]) conferred a higher risk of death.

CONCLUSIONS

Greater VVV of FBG is associated with increased mortality risk. Our data highlight the importance of achieving normal and consistent glycemic levels for improving clinical outcomes.
Propuesta de las competencias profesionales en turismo desde el enfoque del empleador / Proposal of Professional Competencies in Tourism from the employer's approach
Authors: Rivas García Rosa María , Cardoso Espinosa Edgar Oliver , Cortés Ruiz Jesica Alheli
Published: January 2019

En virtud de que la industria turística evoluciona debido a los efectos de la globalización y la innovación de los productos y servicios que ofrece, el objetivo de la presente investigación fue conocer la opinión de cinco titulares de organismos, instituciones y asociaciones oficiales que regulan la actividad turística en México, esto con el fin de proponer un esquema de las competencias que un profesional del sector turismo debería adquirir y desarrollar en las instituciones de educación superior. Para indagar en la opinión de los informantes se empleó una entrevista semiestructurada, la cual estuvo diseñada con base en cinco planteamientos que tomaron en cuenta las notas metodológicas de la base de datos de estadísticas de la Organización Mundial de Turismo (2017). Los temas sobre los cuales se indagó fueron los siguientes: aptitudes, valores, competencias y actitudes del desempeño profesional de los profesionales en turismo. Según la opinión de los entrevistados, las competencias, características y aptitudes requeridas en la industria del turismo en México son heterogéneas en las categorías del “saber” (cognitivas, disciplinares y conceptuales) y del “saber hacer” (procedimentales e instrumentales), pues cada una de estas dependen de la subindustria turística en la que se labora. Aun así, se pudieron determinar ciertas coincidencias en diversos aspectos cognitivos (p. ej., dominar otra lengua, desenvolverse en el área de mercadotecnia, etc.), actitudinales (p. ej., empatía, trabajo en equipo, etc.) e incluso en determinados valores (p. ej., honestidad, ética, etc.).
Rio de Janeiro Metrópole
Arquitetura e infraestrutura como suportes ao projeto do território
Authors: de Moraes Pedro
Published: January 2019

Este artigo parte do entendimento do Rio de Janeiro enquanto metrópole plural, porém marcada por grandes desigualdades impostas por dinâmicas urbanas implementadas a partir do fim do século XIX a partes distintas de seu território e vinculadas a variadas representações. Dinâmicas estas relacionadas a paradigmas desenvolvimentistas, expansão e otimização dos tempos de deslocamento, possibilitados por grandes obras infraestruturais. A prática do projeto, em arquitetura e urbanismo, surge, nesse contexto, como atuação capaz de subverter parâmetros e instrumentos promotores de expansão desenfreada, perda de identidade e indefinição formal. Tomam-se as infraestruturas, especialmente de mobilidade, enquanto oportunidade de abordagem ao problema, aptas a amparar e promover preexistências cujas potencialidades podem operar como alternativas ao já saturado e restrito Centro Metropolitano, através da discussão de estratégias projetuais que propiciem lidar com questões físico-espaciais complexas e distintas dos paradigmas tradicionais de arquitetura e urbanismo.

Estratificações urbanas
Preexistências e projeto contemporâneo entre conhecimento e uso
Authors: Massarente Alessandro
Published: January 2019

Numerosos projetos na história da arquitetura modificaram os usos de edifícios preexistentes nos quais é possível reconhecer uma identidade formal clara: frequentemente, nesses casos, a intervenção de transformação contribuiu não apenas para manter a construção viva, mas também, para fortalecer sua unidade figurativa e seu papel na cidade.
Confrontado com uma “tradição moderna”, composta por edifícios e projetos, mas também com um horizonte amplo e variado de textos, escritos e artigos que exploraram esta vertente da arquitetura e que caracterizou uma importante fase da arquitetura italiana do século XX, o projeto contemporâneo nas preexistências históricas é cada vez mais claramente definido como uma forma que o arquiteto tem de explorar sua relação com o presente, através de algumas estratégias possíveis.

Authors: Garrido Rodrigues Carlos
Published: January 2019

El presente artículo hace hincapié en que las deficiencias factuales son relativamente frecuentes en toda clase de textos didácticos y divulgativos y que, en el marco de la traducción comunicativa, es necesario que el traductor proceda a su detección en el texto de partida y a su corrección en el texto de llegada. En relación con la presencia de un importante error factual en un libro divulgativo de biología evolutiva de Oxford University Press, se distinguen tres categorías de traductores de textos científico-técnicos didácticos y divulgativos en función de la facilidad y de los recursos con que pueden detectar (y subsanar) tales defectos textuales: el traductor especialista, el semiespecialista y el no especialista.
Traducción, identidad, resistencia: Luis Cernuda, traductor de William Wordsworth
Authors: Soberón Socorro
Published: January 2019

Las primeras traducciones del inglés que hizo Luis Cernuda son sus versiones de dos sonetos de William Wordsworth. Estas traducciones se publicaron en Barcelona en 1938, poco después de la llegada del poeta a Inglaterra. Los sonetos fuente fueron escritos en 1810, durante la guerra contra Napoleón, y tratan sobre la tiranía y la pérdida de libertad y el efecto de ello en el individuo. No sólo la elección de estos poemas sino las estrategias de traducción de Cernuda lo identifican con el grupo social leal a la República Española y con la resistencia contra Francisco Franco.

IGENDA protocol: gender differences in awareness, knowledge and perception of cardiovascular risk: An Italian multicenter study
Authors: Maffei Silvia , Cugusi Lucia , Meloni Antonella , Deidda Martino , Colasante Emanuela , Marchioli Roberto , Surico Nicola , Mercuro Giuseppe
Published: January 2019

Aims

Recent reports evidenced gender differences in the knowledge, perception and awareness of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Despite the number of high-quality trials that attempted to establish the efficacy of different preventive interventions on CVDs, in the Italian scenario the differences by gender in awareness, knowledge and perception of CVD have not been addressed yet. So, the aims of this cross-sectional, observational and multicenter study will be to evaluate the gender differences in the awareness and perception of CVD risk, to assess the knowledge of CVD symptoms and preventive behaviors/barriers in men and women participating in this study, and to provide a national primary care approach for gender-oriented cardiovascular prevention strategies and therapy.

Methods

A self-administered questionnaire will be completed by 5000 consecutive Italian women and men aged 18–70 years. Moreover, a health questionnaire will be completed by the physicians.

Results

The present study will be the largest to be conducted in Italy, and probably in the European countries, to comprehensively demonstrate the current level of the knowledge, awareness and perception of CVRFs and CVD in both men and women.

Conclusion

The present project could shed new light on the knowledge, awareness and perception of CVRFs and CVDs. If substantial differences will be detected by gender, the findings of this study may contribute to ultimately provide a new gender-oriented primary care approach inside the Italian healthcare system related to cardiovascular prevention and therapy strategies.
Dinesh Bhugra: a personal history of Psychiatry
Authors: Bhugra Dinesh
Published: January 2019

In the past 40 years, the practice of psychiatry has changed dramatically from asylums to community care to personalized home-based treatments. The personal history of working in various settings and changing NHS indicates that an ability to change one’s clinical practice is a critical skill. Being a migrant and an International Medical Graduate brings with it certain specific challenges. Personal histories provide a very specific account that is inherently incomplete and perhaps biased, but personal accounts also give history a tinge that academic accounts cannot. In this account, changes in the NHS have been discussed with regards to changes in clinical care of patients with psychiatric disorders as well as research and training.

Slope Stability Problems Along the Main Roads in the Kurdistan Region
Authors: Sissakian Varoujan K. , Omer Hassan O.
Published: January 2019

The Kurdistan Region is covered by the relevant net of roads. Since the major parts of the Kurdistan Region are mountainous; therefore, the majority of them are in snake curve form. Construction of roads in mountainous areas will destroy the natural slopes, and when not treated; then different types of landslides will occur. Accordingly, the unstable slopes will cause a lot of risk to the traffic along the roads; endangering the driving along those roads; especially during winter season, and during and/ or shortly after heavy rain showers. The majority of the roads in the Kurdistan Region are planned, designed and constructed without considering the geological conditions, which include four parameters: 1) Type of the rocks and soils, 2) Dip direction and amount, 3) Intensity of joint planes, and 4) Weathering grade of the rocks. These are not considered due to: 1) Cost, 2) Construction’s duration, 3) Choosing easier paths, 4) Absence of experience, 5) Absence of modern technology, 6) Absence of road construction codes, and 7) Ignorance of the factor of safety. We studied different examples from roads in the Kurdistan Region and presented different types of slope stability problems. Moreover, we presented recommendations to keep the stability along unstable slopes.
Comparative study of pseudotachylite microstructures in felsic and mafic rocks from the Vredefort impact structure, South Africa. Implications for the experimental studies
Authors: Kovaleva E. , Huber M.S. , Fourie F. , Pittarello L.
Published: January 2019

While the formation of tectonic PTs is widely accepted as related to friction melting for all rock types, the mechanism of formation of impact-related pseudotachylites (PTs) is strongly debated. Moreover, the influence of the target lithology on the initial impact PT formation, development and deformation has not been considered in detail, even though impact PTs in the Vredefort structure are found in various lithologies.

Here, we investigate PTs that occur in felsic (granite) and mafic (dolerite) rocks that are in contact with one another in the core of the Vredefort impact structure. In this unique outcrop, multiple granitic clasts are observed inside the PTs hosted by dolerite, which indicates material exchange between PTs in the two lithologies, pointing to simultaneous shock deformation in the adjacent rock phases. This outcrop thus provides an unusual opportunity for studying the effect of host lithology on the formation and deformation of PT.

Our investigations demonstrate that microstructures and textures in PTs and their chemical composition largely depend on the host rock, suggesting particular rheological syn- and post-formation behaviour of the melt veins of different composition. In granite, melt initiates due to preferential decomposition of mafic and hydrous minerals, and subsequent ductile deformation of quartz and feldspars. In dolerite, melt initiates as a result of comminution of the bulk rock. Due to the different mineral composition of rocks, and corresponding various fracture toughness of different minerals, granitic PTs contain abundant monomineralic clasts composed of more refractory phases, most often quartz, while PT veins in dolerite contain fewer, usually lithic clasts, representing fragments of the host rock. PTs in granite are chemically zoned, which has not been observed for PTs in dolerite. In felsic rocks, PTs are often framed by an ultramylonite and are associated with post-shock ductile features, such as sigmoidal-shaped clasts and dragged edges of the veins, whereas in mafic rocks, PTs are found to be associated with brittle features only, such as (ultra)cataclasites and micro-faults. These differences in initiation and development of PTs based on rock type are consistent with previous experimental studies and must be considered when discussing the formation mechanisms of impact-generated PTs.

Maintaining Lumbar Spine Stability: A Study of the Specific and Combined Effects of Abdominal Activation and Lumbosacral Orthosis on Lumbar Intrinsic Stiffness
Authors: Larivière Christian , Boucher Jean-Alexandre , Mecheri Hakim , Ludvig Daniel
Published: January 2019

Background

Two potential interventions for enhancing lumbar stability are to actively increase abdominal muscle activity, either through the abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM) or bracing, and passively increase lumbar stiffness using a lumbosacral orthosis (LSO).

Objective

To compare the increase in lumbar stiffness after 2 active interventions (ADIM versus bracing) and 1 passive intervention (LSO), and to evaluate the combined effect of active (abdominal bracing) and passive interventions.

Methods

In this experimental and comparative study, lumbar stiffness, a surrogate measure of lumbar stability, was estimated in 25 healthy individuals during 7 trunk perturbation conditions: (1) control, (2) ADIM, (3) bracing at 5% of right external oblique maximal voluntary activation (5% bracing), (4) bracing at 10% of right external oblique maximal voluntary activation (10% bracing), (5) LSO, (6) LSO plus 5% bracing, and (7) LSO plus 10% bracing. Electromyographic biofeedback of the external oblique was provided on a monitor, while ultrasound was used for the ADIM to ensure a sustained contraction of the transversus abdominis.

Results

The ADIM, 5% bracing, and 10% bracing active interventions generated comparable lumbar stiffness. However, considering that bracing can range from 10% to 20%, it may be superior to hollowing, as further estimated with a mixed-effect statistical model. Combining bracing and an LSO resulted in an additive effect on lumbar stiffness.

Conclusion

Bracing and ADIM produced comparable lumbar stiffness, as they were performed at the same overall abdominal activation levels (5% and 10% maximal voluntary activation). The independent effects of bracing and LSO raises the possibility of combining these interventions in some circumstances. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2019;49(4):262–271.

Devletin
ekonomik gerekçesi uzun yıllardır tartışılan bir konudur. Bu konuda birçok
farklı fikir bulunmaktadır. Bazı iktisatçılar tarafından devlet müdahalesinin
gerekli olduğu, bazı iktisatçılar için ise gerekli olmadığı görüşü
savunulmuştur. Tam bu noktada varlık fonları ile bu konuyu ilişkilendirmek
yanlış olmaz. Varlık fonları devletin ekonomideki yatırım araçlarından biridir.

Varlık
fonları genel olarak ödemeler dengesi
fazlalarından, resmi döviz kuru işlemlerinden, özelleştirme gelirlerinden,
devletin transfer ödemelerinden, mali fazlalardan ve doğal kaynak ihracı
sonucunda elde edilen hasılat ile kurulan devlet mülkiyetindeki bir yatırım
aracıdır.  Bu bağlamdan hareketle varlık
fonlarının tarihsel süreç içerisindeki yeri, küresel ekonomideki konumu,
dünyadaki varlık fonu uygulamaları örnekleri ve son olarak da Türkiye Varlık
Fonu hakkında bir inceleme yapılıp dünyadaki diğer örneklerle bir karşılaştırma
yapılacaktır.

VELVET ANTLER PRODUCTIVITY OF ALTAI-SAYAN MARAL BREED IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE REPUBLIC OF TUVA
Authors: Chysyma R. B. , Kuzmina E. E.
Published: January 2019

The evaluation results of velvet antler productivity of Altai-Sayan maral breed brought to the Tuva Republic from the Altai breeding plant Abaiskiy are presented. Antler yield of marals of the Altai-Sayan breed was studied in connection with its acclimatization in the new habitat conditions. The studies were carried out in the maral breeding farm of the Republic of Tuva. Velvet antler productivity was determined during the cutting of stags’ antlers aged from 2 to 11 years old. Antler cutting on this farm is held for 6o days during a year. The first two cuttings of antlers were carried out in the last ten-day period of May in 2016 and 2018, which accounted for 0.54-0.87% of the total number of stags. The largest number of cuttings, namely 299, was done in 2016, which was 31.6% of the total number of stags. The average weight of antlers of the imported Altai-Sayan maral breed in the conditions of the Republic of Tuva in the first year of adaptation was as follows: at the age of 3 years old – 3.91 ± 0.13 kg; 4 years – 2.25 ± 0.11 kg; 5 years – 1.54 ± 0.08 kg; 6 years – 3.20 ± 0.17 kg; 7 years – 3.30 ± 0.12 kg; 8 years – 4.42 ± 0.23 kg; 9 years – 4.47± 0.11 kg; 10 years – 5.20 ± 0.28 kg; 11 years and older – 5.00 ± 0.21 kg. In the next three years, the weight of marals’ antlers gradually increased and by 2018, it was higher than that in 2015. Higher yield was observed from stags aged 7 to 10 years. The study showed that the average antler weight of the imported maral population was inferior to the indigenous Altai population of marals. The superiority of indigenous marals of Altai-Sayan breed compared to the population of marals imported from Altai at the age of 2 years old amounted to 1.1 kg (2 times); 4-5 years – from 0.9 to 1.3 kg (1.2 and 1.3 times); 6-7 years – from 3.1 to 1.8 kg (1.8 and 1.3 times); 8-9 years - from 2.7 to 1.6 kg (1.5 and 1.2 times); 10-11 years - from 2.5 to 3.4 kg (3.4 and 1.6 times). Despite the fact that marals brought to the Republic of Tuva were inferior to the indigenous Altai ones in their antler yield, their adaptation was successful. In most cases the differences in the weight of antlers were not significant and did not cause the decrease in the subsequent productivity of marals brought to Tuva. These data may serve as a criterion for evaluating the results of breeding work on increasing velvet antler productivity of imported marals.

Published: January 2019

The paper presents the results of research into complex effect of organic fertilizers (decomposed cattle manure) in different doses with the biological preparation Flavobacterin on agrochemical parameters and biological activity of permafrost soils in the cultivation of the recognized potato variety Varmas. Field experiments were carried out in 2016–2018 on permafrost chernozem-meadow light-loamy saline soils of the Central Yakut lowland of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The yield of potatoes increased with the application of manure in the dose of 60 t/ha and biological preparation Flavobacterin by 61.4%, control (without fertilizers) – 9.7 t/ha. In the variant: manure 40 t/ha + biopreparation Flavobacterin, the yield amounted to 13.0 t/ha; when treating with the biological preparation – 10.7 t/ha. The use of organic fertilizers in different doses in all studied variants increased the content of phosphorus, potassium and total nitrogen in the soil compared to the control. Combined application of organic fertilizers and biological preparation Flavobacterin increased the biological activity of permafrost soils by 2.9–4.7 times. The intensity of the biological activity of permafrost soils in all years of research was observed during the growing season of crops. The number of soil microorganisms reached its maximum in July and decreased at the end of the growing season (early September), due to the peculiarities of the hydrothermal regime of the soil under study. To preserve soil fertility, it is recommended to use organic fertilizers in combination with the biological preparation based on agrochemical parameters of permafrost soils.

Published: January 2019

The paper presents the results of breeding work (1996-2017) on creation of the highly adaptive, polyvitaminic variety of sea-buckthorn Yakhontovaya. The variety testing was carried out in typical climatic conditions of the forest-steppe of Priobye of Novosibirsk region on medium-textured medium-humus medium-loamy leached chernozem. The sea-buckthorn variety Yakhontovaya was obtained as a result of free pollination from a selected form of the Katun population and was passed for the state variety testing in 2004. The plant is characterized by high adaptive capacity, winter hardiness, stable yield (> 8 t/ha), and wiltresistance. Berries are only slightly damaged by seabuckthorn fly (Rhagoletis batava obscuriosa Kol.). They have a late term of ripening with dry separation from branches. Due to the high content of sugars, carotenoids and good technological properties, berries are suitable for processing, freezing and fresh consumption. The berry pulp may contain oils up to 4.2%, carotenoids 45.5 mg%, sugars 7.9%, vitamin C 222.7 mg%. A distinctive feature of the variety is the compactness of the crown, which provides for the high density of the yield (1.32 kg/m3) and the possibility of using compact space for planting in the garden of 1.5 (1.2) x 4.0 (3.0) m. The high coefficient of productivity (36 g/10cm) makes it possible to recommend the Yakhontovaya variety for semi-mechanical harvesting – selective cutting of branches with berries. According to the assessment results of distinctiveness, homogeneity and stability, the variety was included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements in 2013. According to the results of the state variety testing in 2017, the variety Yakhontovaya was acknowledged as suitable for cultivation in the West Siberian region.

Die Erhaltung und Ausstellung von historischen Kunstwerken geht viele Risiken in Bezug auf die Darstellung des Lebens und der Bedeutungen von Objekten ein. Dieser Beitrag untersucht die Identitäten einiger besonders fesselnder Beispiele byzantinischer Kunst, die in der Menil Collection in Houston, Texas unter besonderen Umständen restauriert wurden. Eine Untersuchung der Wiederherstellung der Fresken und Ikonen sowie ihrer jeweiligen Ausstellungsgeschichten offenbart die Kontingenzen unserer Begegnungen mit und Erklärungen von historischer Kunst.

Conservation and exhibition of historical works of art run many risks of misrepresentation of the life and meanings of objects. This paper explores the identities of some particularly compelling examples of Byzantine art restored under special circumstances at the Menil Collection in Houston, Texas. This examination of the restoration of frescos and icons, and their particular display histories, reveals the contingencies of our encounters with and explanations of historical art.
Debattenkultur

Eine Debatte ist ein öffentliches Streitgespräch, das gewissen Regeln folgt. Das Ziel einer Debatte ist nicht die Lösung eines Problems, wie in einer Diskussion, sondern Positionen zu markieren. In einer Debatte zählen nicht nur Argumente, sondern auch Polemik und der Mut zur These. Eine produktive Debatte bedarf neben von allen Teilnehmern akzeptierten Regeln auch einer sog. Debattenkultur. Christian Demand und Ekkehard Knörer führen eine Debatte zur Etablierung dieses Begriffs in den 1980er Jahren und entwickeln Thesen zu deren angeblichen Verschwinden durch die Beschleunigung von Debatten unter den Bedingungen der »Neuen Medien«.

A debate is a public dispute that follows certain rules. The goal of a debate is not the solution of a problem as in a discussion , but to point out positions. In a debate, not only arguments, but also polemics and the courage to take a stand are essential. Besides certain rules that are accepted by all participants, a debate needs a so-called debate culture in order to be productive. Christian Demand and Ekkehard Knörer lead a debate on the establishment of this concept in the 1980s and develop theses for its alleged disappearance caused by the acceleration of debates under the conditions of “new media.”
Méliès und die Materialität moderner Magie
Authors: Solomon Matthew
Published: January 2019

"Der Artikel befasst sich mit den spezifischen Materialien, die dem Zauberkünstler und Kinopionier Georges Méliès seine Illusionen ermöglicht haben. Die Materialität, die die von ihm auf Bühne und Leinwand geschaffenen Illusionen bewerkstelligt, besteht gleichermaßen aus dem Einsatz von Elektrizität, Mechanik, Pneumatik, Optik, Akustik und Chemie. Der Einsatz dieser Ressourcen lässt sich nicht nach Theaterillusionen und Leinwandillusionen unterscheiden, vielmehr ist die Kopräsenz von theatralen und filmischen Techniken in der Reflexion über die von Méliès geschaffenen Effekte des Verschwindens zu berücksichtigen.

The article deals with the specific materials that enabled the Magician and cinema pioneer Georges Méliès to produce his illusions. The materiality that accomplished the illusions created by him on stage and screen consists equally of the use of electricity, mechanics, pneumatics, optics, acoustics and chemistry. The use of these resources can not be divided into theater illusions and screen illusions; on the contrary, any reflection on Méliès’ effects of disappearance has to consider the co-presence of theatrical and cinematic techniques.

Ambisonic Sound Design for Theatre with Virtual Reality Demonstration - A Case Study
Authors: Vilkaitis Alexander , Wiggins Bruce
Published: January 2019

This paper discusses ambisonic sound design for a theatrical production of King Lear. Sound, and its use in theatre, has taken a back-seat in comparison to the development of other theatre technologies such as lighting, projection and automation in recent years. Spatial audio implementations in theatre give the sound designer and the artistic team much greater scope for creativity, along with improvements in source separation and intelligibility of sources due to spatial unmasking. A 360 degree video was also recorded, with first and third order ambisonic binaural reproductions of the sound design stitched on to the video to create a virtual reality experience. The project was successful, whilst highlighting some practical and perceptual limitations in spatial audio for theatre.
