Optical Kerr nonlinearity of arrays of all-dielectric high-index nanodisks in the vicinity of the anapole state
Authors: Panov Andrey V. 
Published: April 2020

The nonlinear optical properties of the high-index nanoparticles are boosted at the anapole state. Researchers intensively study this phenomenon as being promising for various applications. In this Letter, the nonlinear optical Kerr effect of disordered and square lattice metasurfaces of GaP nanodisks is investigated as a function of the disk size in the vicinity of the anapole state at the wavelength of 532 nm. When the sizes of the nanodisks are close to the anapole state, the effective second-order refractive index of the metasurface increases exponentially. On approaching the anapole state, the sign of the effective second-order refractive index is inverted. The absolute value of the effective nonlinear Kerr coefficient of the square lattice metasurface is higher than that of the disordered array of nanodisks. The absolute value of the effective second-order refractive index in proximity to the anapole state is an order of magnitude higher than that at non-anapole resonances of the disordered metasurfaces consisting of the nanodisks or spheres.

Horrek ingurumen-arazoak dakartza, eta sedimentu horiek modu egokian kudeatzera bultzatu behar gaitu. Horretarako, kutsatzaileok sedimentuetan duten portaera ulertu behar da, bai eta sedimentuen karakterizazio sakona egin ere. Gaur egunean indarrean dagoen legediak zenbait gidalerro eskaintzen dituen arren, hainbat lanek gidalerro horien mugak agerian utzi dituzte. Bereziki garrantzitsua da ohiko neurketa kimikoak sedimentuetan bizi diren organismoen ikerketekin uztartzea. Izan ere, haietan burutzen diren entseguek informazio oso baliagarria eskain dezakete sedimentuen toxikotasunaren eta, beraz, haien kudeaketa-beharraren inguruan.

Authors: Silva Patrícia Andrade de Oliveira e , Almeida Filho Niemeyer 
Published: April 2020

A Cooperação Internacional para o Desenvolvimento (CID) emergiu após a Segunda Guerra Mundial em busca de soluções para questões internacionais relacionadas ao desenvolvimento. No Brasil, após os anos 2000, o destaque da política social despertou o interesse dos gestores internacionais e a parceria entre a ONU e o país na implementação de estratégias similares em outros países cresceu exponencialmente, evidênciando a Cooperação Sul-Sul (CSS), onde as experiências de sucesso em determinado país do Sul servem como exemplo para os demais. Entretanto, a crise política e econômica atual trará efeitos para a cooperação internacional e, por isso, pretende-se investigar a motivação, o papel da CSS brasileira na última década e quais serão os prováveis efeitos da atual crise, através da revisão bibliográfica e dos dados disponíveis.
THE IMPORTANCE OF LAND REGISTRATION TO SUPPORT SUCCESSFUL ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
Authors: Ardani Mira Novana 
Published: April 2020

Land registration provides legal certainty and protection to holders of land rights. In its implementation it does not always go well, so that what is the goal can not be achieved. A person or legal entity cannot prove that he is the legal owner of a parcel of land. This can lead to land conflicts. Land conflicts can cause overlapping land tenure and overlapping land permits which often results in environmental damage. This research uses a normative juridical approach. Normative juridical research is research focused on examining the application of rules or norms in positive law. The research objective is to find out what ways can be done so that through land registration activities can support the success of environmental management. The results of the study explained that land registration activities through systematic land registration acceleration resulted in land certification for plots of land that had met the requirements, and could strengthen the one map policy database, so that administrative order could be achieved. It also makes land use plans to support the achievement of national development goals and the greatest prosperity of the people, so as to realize environmental sustainability.
RANCANG BANGUN SISTEM RACK IN DAN RACK OUT PMT OTOMATIS DI KUBIKEL 20 KV BERBASIS ARDUINO MEGA 2560 MENGGUNAKAN VTSCADA 11.2

Published: April 2020

The 20 KV PMT (Circuit Breaker) is an important equipment for the reliability of electricity distribution. Therefore it must be maintained so that it is always in good condition with regular maintenance. Prior to maintenance, PMT is terminated from the bus bar, which is called the rack out process. After maintenance, the PMT is reconnected with the bus bar, which is called the rack in process. Usually, 20 KV PMT rack in and rack out process in maintenance or disturbance is still using the manual method. The 20 KV PMT can only be racked in and racked out in one way, by turning the lever. The lever will rotate the bolt as a PMT rail. In the manual method, there is no system for monitoring the condition of the bus bar whether it is has electric-voltage or not. There is also no remote control that can rack in and rack out. So officers must ensure the conditions of PMT and bus bars are safe manually, before maintenance is carried out. This is quite troublesome and dangerous for officers. From these problems, in this research designed a system that could ensure the condition of the PMT and the bus bar was safe before the rack in and rack out process was carried out and could monitor and control the system remotely using SCADA. Rack-in and rack-out automation system using VT SCADA, using Ethernet Shield that has been connected with Arduino Mega. Ethernet is connected to a mini PC. The microcontroller pins will be connected to the relays that will turn or stop the motor. The rack in and rack out commands from VT SCADA will determine the rotation of the motor so that the PMT moves. The current sensor reads the current flow and detects interference. Interference detection will automatically make PMT Rack out. System testing shows that the process of racking out in a state of maintenance or disturbance can be carried out automatically controlled by VT SCADA. Current sensor works to detect the current flowing, so that it can detect PMT interference and perform automatic rack out. The rack-in process is also capable of being remotely controlled with VT SCADA. This makes it easier for officers to also become additional reliability of PMT in the 20 KV cubicle.

Published: April 2020

Abstract
The paper presents the impact of the initial processing, cultivar, and storage time on the physico-chemical quality of freeze-dried crisps. Sweet pepper after initial washing and crushing was subjected to further four combinations of the initial processing. The first combination included freezing, the second one blanching in 98°C and 2-minutes time, the third one -dehydration in 2% solution of ascorbic acid and the fourth one -dehydration in 2% solution of sodium chloride. Both types of dehydration were carried out in 70°C for 20 minutes with a 1:4 participation of raw material to osmotic solution. Blanched and dehydrated raw materials were subjected to freezing in -18°C for 24 hours. After the completed process of freezing, the samples were moved to a freezer-drier and were dried by sublimation in -18°C and the reduced pressure of 63 Pa. Based on the research analyses a significant variability of physico-chemical properties of the obtained freeze-dried sweet pepper with regard to a cultivar, processing type and storage time were reported. Freeze-dried yellow sweet pepper was the most similar to the fresh raw material. It was dehydrated in the ascorbic acid solution. The storage time considerably influenced the reduction of the quality properties of sweet pepper crisps.

Abstract
The paper presents the impact of the initial processing, cultivar, and storage time on the physical and chemical quality of freeze-dried sweet pepper crisps. Sweet pepper after initial washing and crushing was subjected to further four combinations of the initial processing. The first combination included freezing, the second one blanching in 98°C and 2-minutes time, the third one -dehydration in 2% solution of ascorbic acid and the fourth one - dehydration in the 2% solution of sodium chlo-ride. Both types of dehydration were carried out in 70°C for 20 minutes with a 1:4 participation of raw material to osmotic solution. Blanched and dehydrated raw materials were subjected to freezing in -18°C for 24 hours. After the completed process of freezing, the samples were moved to a freezer-drier and were dried by sublimation in -18°C and the reduced pressure of 63 Pa. The research that was carried out proved that the microbiological quality of the obtained sweet pepper lyophilizes was significantly affected by the cultivar, treatment type and storage time. These factors significantly diversified the number of micro-organisms in sweet pepper crisps. No initial processing before sublimation drying caused a considerably average increase of the number of psychrophile and mesophilic bacteria in crisps from both sweet pepper cultivars. A considerable reduction of their total number took place during blanching and dehydration in the ascorbic acid solution and sodium chloride solution. Additionally, along with the storage time, reduction of the total number of psychrophilic, mesophilic bacteria, fungi and yeasts was reported.
If I knew they were the expression of creativity in people with blindness, I would rate them higher - Bias in Evaluating the Work of People with Blindness
Authors: Szubielska Magdalena , Fudali-Czyż Agnieszka 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Objective: In our pilot study, we tested to what extent subjective understanding and aesthetic appreciation of em-bossed drawings were dependent on the information that their creators were people with disability. Method: Our research was carried out in a gallery of contemporary art with 30 adults who were non-experts in the field of visual arts. Subjects were asked to view the current exhibition and then evaluate their subjective understanding and aesthetic appreciation (liking and interest) of 12 embossed drawings on seven-point scales. Results: Participants who were aware that persons with blindness had created the drawings (the informed group) in contrast to those who remained unaware (the uninformed group) declared – both – greater subjective understanding and higher appreciation of the exhibited works. In the informed group (N = 15), in comparison to the uninformed group (N = 15), the correlation between appreciation and subjective understanding of artwork was stronger. Conclusions: We discuss our pattern of results considering the attributional approach to creativity (Kasof, 1995) and the model of a cognitive mastering process of aesthetic experiences (Leder, Belke, Oeberst, & Augustin, 2004). Our results can be used, among others, by educators working in art galleries and museums.
Students and Teachers Implicit and Explicit Theories of Creativity
Authors: Uszyńska-Jarmoc Janina , Kunat Beata 
Published: April 2020

AbstractThe current research aims to analyse ways of conceptualising the termcreativitywith the help of drawings, as a form of cognitive rendering by primary school students, pedagogy students and primary school teachers. The research seeks to find answers to three questions: What common notions of creativity are held by both primary school pupils and teachers and pedagogy students? Are there any differences in the understanding of this term among these groups of people? How far is the implicit, personal understanding ofcreativityin line with the scientific notion of this term? The visual ethnography method was applied in the study. Qualitative visual data (177 drawings of pupils, students and teachers) were used as the main source of data for analysis in addition to verbal data (written descriptions by the participants). Empirical data were analysed from the perspective of both an elitist and egalitarian approach to creativity, and using various ways to define creativity, as well as selected understandings of the term. Analysis of the qualitative data, demonstrated that pupils, students and teachers are able to treat creativity holistically and systematically, although they tend to associate creativity with the person who is the creator or with a broadly understood product, rather than the process or external circumstances that support creative activity. The research suggests that pupils’ definitions of creativity focus around four aspects of meaning: 1) creativity as self-expression; 2) creating new things; 3) ability to utilise the internal resources of imagination and creative thinkingoutside the system; 4) participation in solving everyday problems. Furthermore, it is possible to say that the knowledge of teachers in this matter is more consistent (cultural knowledge) and that of students is more personal (atypical, original, referring to a larger number of different problems and themes).
Effect of Moisture on the Resistance of Sansevieria Cylindrica–Reinforced Vinyl Ester Composites
Authors: Deepak Joel Johnson R. , Arumugaprabu V. , Manikandan V. 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
The research is intended to determine the absorption behavior of a newly fabricated, sansevieria cylindrica–reinforced vinyl ester composite (SCVEC) under a different immersion medium. For this purpose, seawater, distilled water, and groundwater was taken. The samples of untreated and sodium hydroxide (NaOH)-treated SCVEC with varying fiber content and fiber length was subjected to water absorption studies. The diffusion coefficient, permeability coefficient, and sorption coefficient were determined to study the kinetics of water molecules penetrating the SCVEC. The results show that SCVEC can resist seawater effectively compared to other medium. This is because of the salt molecule, which disables the secure transport of water molecules into the composite. NaOH-treated composites showed better results compared to the untreated composites irrespective of immersion medium. Scanning electron microscopic studies reveal the water absorption mechanism of SCVEC materials.

AbstractNatural genetic variants of Neuregulin1 (NRG1) and its cognate receptor ErbB4 are associated with a risk for schizophrenia. Whereas most studies on NRG1-ErbB4 signaling have focused on GABAergic interneurons, ErbB4 is also expressed by midbrain dopaminergic neurons where it modulates extracellular dopamine (DA) levels. Here, we report that extracellular steady-state levels of DA are reduced in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC; −65%), hippocampus (−53%) and nucleus accumbens (NAc; −35%), but are elevated in the dorsal striatum (+25%) of ErbB4 knock-out mice (ErbB4 KOs) relative to wild-type controls. This pattern of DA imbalance recapitulates the reported prefrontal cortical reduction and striatal increase of DA levels in schizophrenia patients. Next, we report on a battery of behavioral tasks used to evaluate locomotor, cognitive and motivational behaviors in ErbB4 KOs relative to controls. We found that ErbB4 KOs are hyperactive in a novel open field but not in their familiar home cage, are more sensitive to amphetamine, perform poorly in the T-maze and novel object recognition (NOR) tasks, exhibit reduced spatial learning and memory on the Barnes maze, and perform markedly worse in conditioned place preference (CPP) tasks when associating cued-reward palatable food with location. However, we found that the poor performance of ErbB4 KOs in CPP are likely due to deficits in spatial memory, instead of reward seeking, as ErbB4 KOs are more motivated to work for palatable food rewards. Our findings indicate that ErbB4 signaling affects tonic DA levels and modulates a wide array of behavioral deficits relevant to psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia.
Parietal Cortex Integrates Saccade and Object Orientation Signals to Update Grasp Plans

Published: April 2020

Coordinated reach-to-grasp movements are often accompanied by rapid eye movements (saccades) that displace the desired object image relative to the retina. Parietal cortex compensates for this by updating reach goals relative to current gaze direction, but its role in the integration of oculomotor and visual orientation signals for updating grasp plans is unknown. Based on a recent perceptual experiment, we hypothesized that inferior parietal cortex (specifically supramarginal gyrus [SMG]) integrates saccade and visual signals to update grasp plans in additional intraparietal/superior parietal regions. To test this hypothesis in humans (7 females, 6 males), we used a functional magnetic resonance paradigm, where saccades sometimes interrupted grasp preparation toward a briefly presented object that later reappeared (with the same/different orientation) just before movement. Right SMG and several parietal grasp regions, namely, left anterior intraparietal sulcus and bilateral superior parietal lobule, met our criteria for transsaccadic orientation integration: they showed task-dependent saccade modulations and, during grasp execution, they were specifically sensitive to changes in object orientation that followed saccades. Finally, SMG showed enhanced functional connectivity with both prefrontal saccade regions (consistent with oculomotor input) and anterior intraparietal sulcus/superior parietal lobule (consistent with sensorimotor output). These results support the general role of parietal cortex for the integration of visuospatial perturbations, and provide specific cortical modules for the integration of oculomotor and visual signals for grasp updating.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTHow does the brain simultaneously compensate for both external and internally driven changes in visual input? For example, how do we grasp an unstable object while eye movements are simultaneously changing its retinal location? Here, we used fMRI to identify a group of inferior parietal (supramarginal gyrus) and superior parietal (intraparietal and superior parietal) regions that show saccade-specific modulations during unexpected changes in object/grasp orientation, and functional connectivity with frontal cortex saccade centers. This provides a network, complementary to the reach goal updater, that integrates visuospatial updating into grasp plans, and may help to explain some of the more complex symptoms associated with parietal damage, such as constructional ataxia.
