Published: December 2020

Batik is a World Cultural Heritage. However, the production process is suspected to have a negative impact on the environment. This study aims to analyze the Batik production process using an eco-efficiency approach. The identification stage is carried out by identifying the non-product output costs. The environmental impact analysis was carried out by means of a life cycle assessment (LCA) using the eco-cost and eco-mapping methods. The causal analysis stage was carried out with a fishbone diagram. The problem area occurs in the stamping, coloring and washing processes. LCA processing using simapro v7.1.8 software concluded that there was a negative impact on the global warming (CO2 eq) category of 14,804.2 kg and aquatic ecotoxic (TEG eq) of 10,241,717 kg or equivalent to an eco-cost of Rp 700,394,880 / year. Recommendations for improvement by making used candle container, adding assignments for one of the workers, and creating a simple waste treatment system with the principle of aerobic biological treatment. This research provides benefits economically, environmentally and socially. The recommendations given are estimated to reduce the non-product output ratio by 0.01224, with an economic profit of around Rp 25,571,892 / year.

Abstract
The regularity of wire rope breakage of new-type rail conveyors used in orchards is not clear yet. The breakage may be mainly associated with the diameter and material of pulleys, wire rope tension, and linear speed, as well as exposure to acid rain and sandy soil. This paper took wire rope structure and operating parameters as the research object, designed and built a simulation conveyor wire rope winding test platform based on programmable logic controller (PLC), and verified the feasibility of the system to automatically control wire rope tension, and then conducted the wire rope winding test. According to the tests, a wire rope will have earlier wire breakage and faster wear if it works at a higher speed or in greater tension—a wire rope reached the scrapping criterion after 2,000 cycles of working at the speed of 29.35 m/s or at the tension of 6,500 N. Sandy soil and acid rain are also great contributors to wire breakage, and finer sandy soil or greater acidity of acid will cause more severe wire breakage—a wire rope reached the scrapping criterion after 3,300 cycles of work if exposed to acid rain with pH value of 2.0. Pulley diameter also counts: the smaller the pulley diameter is, the less wear the pulley will cause; and pulley material also plays a part—Q235 steel pulley may cause greater wear than a nylon pulley. Wear and plastic deformation of outer wires lead to surface material loss of a wire rope, thereby resulting in crack or even fracture of single wires, greater tension of other unbroken wires, and accelerated wear of the whole wire rope to the scrap criterion. The study aims to provide a reference for optimizing the safety performance of conveyors in orchards, as well as for maintenance and care of wire ropes in other applications.

Across species, unpredictable patterns of maternal behavior are emerging as novel predictors of aberrant cognitive and emotional outcomes later in life. In animal models, exposure to unpredictable patterns of maternal behavior alters brain circuit maturation and cognitive and emotional outcomes. However, whether exposure to such signals in humans alters the development of brain pathways is unknown. In mother–child dyads, we tested the hypothesis that exposure to more unpredictable maternal signals in infancy is associated with aberrant maturation of corticolimbic pathways. We focused on the uncinate fasciculus, the primary fiber bundle connecting the amygdala to the orbitofrontal cortex and a key component of the medial temporal lobe–prefrontal cortex circuit. Infant exposure to unpredictable maternal sensory signals was assessed at 6 and 12 months. Using high angular resolution diffusion imaging, we quantified the integrity of the uncinate fasciculus using generalized fractional anisotropy (GFA). Higher maternal unpredictability during infancy presaged greater uncinate fasciculus GFA in children 9–11 years of age (n= 69, 29 female). In contrast to the uncinate, GFA of a second corticolimbic projection, the hippocampal cingulum, was not associated with maternal unpredictability. Addressing the overall functional significance of the uncinate and cingulum relationships, we found that the resulting imbalance of medial temporal lobe–prefrontal cortex connectivity partially mediated the association between unpredictable maternal sensory signals and impaired episodic memory function. These results suggest that unbalanced maturation of corticolimbic circuits is a mechanism by which early unpredictable sensory signals may impact cognition later in life.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTOur prior work across species demonstrated that unpredictable patterns of maternal care are associated with compromised memory function. However, the neurobiological mechanisms by which this occurs in humans remain unknown. Here, we identify an association of exposure to unpredictable patterns of maternal sensory signals with the integrity of corticolimbic circuits involved in emotion and cognition using state-of-the-art diffusion imaging techniques and analyses. We find that exposure to early unpredictability is associated with higher integrity of the uncinate fasciculus with no effect on a second corticolimbic pathway, the cingulum. The resulting imbalance of corticolimbic circuit development is a novel mediator of the association between unpredictable patterns of maternal care and poorer episodic memory.
How Behavior Shapes the Brain and the Brain Shapes Behavior: Insights from Memory Development

Published: December 2020

Source memory improves substantially during childhood. This improvement is thought to be closely related to hippocampal maturation. As previous studies have mainly used cross-sectional designs to assess relations between source memory and hippocampal function, it remains unknown whether changes in the brain precede improvements in memory or vice versa. To address this gap, the current study used an accelerated longitudinal design (n= 200, 100 males) to follow 4- and 6-year-old human children for 3 years. We traced developmental changes in source memory and intrinsic hippocampal functional connectivity and assessed differences between the 4- and 6-year-old cohorts in the predictive relations between source memory changes and intrinsic hippocampal functional connectivity in the absence of a demanding task. Consistent with previous studies, there were age-related increases in source memory and intrinsic functional connectivity between the hippocampus and cortical regions known to be involved during memory encoding. Novel findings showed that changes in memory ability early in life predicted later connectivity between the hippocampus and cortical regions and that intrinsic hippocampal functional connectivity predicted later changes in source memory. These findings suggest that behavioral experience and brain development are interactive, bidirectional processes, such that experience shapes future changes in the brain and the brain shapes future changes in behavior. Results also suggest that both timing and location matter, as the observed effects depended on both children's age and the specific brain ROIs. Together, these findings add critical insight into the interactive relations between cognitive processes and their underlying neurologic bases during development.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTCross-sectional studies have shown that the ability to remember the contextual details of previous experiences (i.e., source memory) is related to hippocampal development in childhood. It is unknown whether hippocampal functional changes precede improvements in memory or vice versa. By using an accelerated longitudinal design, we found that early source memory changes predicted later intrinsic hippocampal functional connectivity and that this connectivity predicted later source memory changes. These findings suggest that behavioral experience and brain development are interactive, bidirectional processes, such that experience shapes future changes in the brain and the brain shapes future behavioral changes. Moreover, these interactions varied as a function of children's age and brain region, highlighting the importance of a developmental perspective when investigating brain-behavior interactions.

Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND:
Initial reports on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections in children suggested that very young age and comorbidities may increase risk of severe evolution, but these findings remained to be confirmed. We aimed to analyze the clinical spectrum of hospitalized pediatric SARS-CoV-2 infection and predictors of severe disease evolution.

METHODS:
We conducted a French national prospective surveillance of children hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2 infection. We included all children with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection in 60 hospitals during February 15 to June 1, 2020. The main outcome was the proportion of children with severe disease, defined by hemodynamic or ventilatory (invasive or not) support requirement.

RESULTS:
We included 397 hospitalized children with SARS-CoV-2 infection. We identified several clinical patterns, ranging from paucisymptomatic children, admitted for surveillance, to lower respiratory tract infection or multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children. Children &lt;90 days old accounted for 37% of cases (145 of 397), but only 4 (3%) had severe disease. Excluding children with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (n = 29) and hospitalized for a diagnosis not related to SARS-CoV-2 (n = 62), 23 of 306 (11%) children had severe disease, including 6 deaths. Factors independently associated with severity were age ≥10 years (odds ratio [OR] = 3.4, 95% confidence interval: 1.1–10.3), hypoxemia (OR = 8.9 [2.6–29.7]), C-reactive protein level ≥80 mg/L (OR = 6.6 [1.4–27.5]).

CONCLUSIONS:
In contrast with preliminary reports, young age was not an independent factor associated with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection, and children &lt;90 days old were at the lowest risk of severe disease evolution. This may help physicians to better identify risk of severe disease progression in children.

Objetivo Determinar el impacto percibido en la salud de los mineros artesanales del municipio de Quinchía (Colombia) por el uso de mercurio y cianuro en el proceso de amalgamiento de oro.Métodos Investigación cuantitativa, descriptiva, en una muestra de 28 mineros activos expuestos a cianuro y mercurio. Se caracterizó el proceso de amalgamiento de oro, se realizó una encuesta de percepción de síntomas y se efectuaron exámenes de laboratorio para detectar la concentración de mercurio y cianuro en la sangre.Resultados El 50% de los mineros llevan en el oficio entre 21 y 30 años, con una exposición de 2,6 horas/día al mercurio y cianuro. El 33% de los mineros presentan niveles de concentración de mercurio en la sangre entre 4 y 4,9 microgramos por litro (μg/L) y refieren síntomas en los sistemas nervioso y digestivo. Los resultados de cianuro en la sangre fueron negativos.Conclusiones Las concentraciones de mercurio en la sangre se asocian con el tiempo en el oficio, horas de exposición al mercurio y percepción de síntomas. Los resultados de cianuro en la sangre no son coincidentes con los síntomas referidos por los mineros. Pese a que, se reconoce la toxicidad de estas sustancias químicas, aún se emplean métodos tradicionales y prohibidos sin tener en cuenta los protocolos de seguridad y el uso de elementos de protección adecuados. Los mineros constantemente están expuestos a procedimientos que implican riesgos para la salud; refieren síntomas no diagnosticados y que podrían afectar el organismo a largo plazo. No se adoptan medidas de prevención y promoción.

Abstract
This article presents findings from two episodes of seismicity and gas emission that occurred on 7 October 2015 and 6 December 2019 in Campi Flegrei caldera. This caldera has been affected by long-term unrest since 2004. The 6 December 2019 episode, consisting of a swarm of 38 earthquakes (maximum duration magnitude 3.1, the largest between 1984 and March 2020), occurred at the end of a one month period characterized by an increase in the ground uplift rate from 0.19±0.01 to 0.72±0.05  mm/day. A sudden increase in the fumarolic tremor amplitude, which is a proxy of gas emission-related parameters recorded at Solfatara–Pisciarelli hydrothermal area (e.g., CO2 air concentration), was observed during the seismicity episode. The uplift rate decreased immediately after the swarm (0.10±0.01  mm/day), whereas the fumarolic tremor amplitude remained higher than that observed prior to the swarm. Through analyzing the time series of uplift recorded in Pozzuoli (central area of the caldera) from differential measurements on tide gauges, we were able to identify the 2015 episode. This episode was characterized by increasing uplift rates that culminated in a seismic swarm of 33 earthquakes on 7 October, which was followed by decreasing uplift rates. We computed double-difference locations of earthquakes from the two swarms and found that they located along a conduit-like path, coinciding with a high-resistivity contrast zone, previously identified by audiomagnetotelluric measurements. The focal mechanisms of the major earthquakes of both swarms indicate fault planes radial with respect to the maximum uplift area. These phenomena can be interpreted as episodes of the volcanic and (or) hydrothermal system pressurization that culminate in an injection of fluids along the conduit-like path, which behaves as a valve that allows fluid discharge and the temporary depressurization of the source region.
Geodetic Observation of Seismic Cycles before, during, and after the 2020 Monte Cristo Range, Nevada Earthquake

AbstractThe 15 May 2020, M 6.5 Monte Cristo Range, Nevada earthquake (MCE) occurred inside the footprint of the semicontinuous MAGNET and continuous Network of the Americas Global Positioning System (GPS) networks, which provide precise geodetic coverage in the western Great basin. The event occurred in the White Mountain seismic gap between twentieth century events in the eastern central Walker Lane, on an east-northeast extension of faults in the Candelaria Hills. The earthquake precipitated a rapid and sustained GPS field response, which is providing data on the MCE pre-, co-, and postseismic deformation. The response was especially rapid owing to ∼1 dozen MAGNET stations immediately surrounding the epicenter being fortuitously occupied with receivers at event time. Modeling the coseismic displacements suggests that the MCE offset was ∼1  m, greater than the individual observations of surface rupture, but consistent with the seismic moment. Although the epicenter is separated from most of the observed surface rupture by ∼10  km, the slip plane inferred from the GPS data spans the gap, suggesting deep slip continuity that tapered toward the surface, making the event partially blind. However, the range of magnitudes estimated from geologic, geodetic, and seismic data overlap in the range of Mw 6.3–6.4. Postseismic displacement over several months occurred in directions aligned with the coseismic displacement, suggesting afterslip of over 9% of the coseismic displacement, too large to be explained by aftershock seismicity, suggesting that most postseismic deformation was aseismic. The interseismic direction of no-length change was very closely aligned to the MCE slip azimuth, as expected for a strike-slip event. This alignment is sensitive to transient postseismic viscoelastic deformation from previous earthquakes in the western Great basin, which may have temporarily improved the alignment. Thus, these viscoelastic transients may have created conditions favoring the slip to occur on the MCE fault.
Age as a Predictor of Burnout in Russian Public Librarians
Authors: Kolachev Nikita , Novikov Igor 
Published: December 2020

Objective – Increasing life expectancy leads to an increase in the mean age of the workforce. The aging workforce implies new challenges for management and human resources. Existing findings on relations between age and burnout are controversial and scarce. Also, the problem of burnout amongst library workers in Russia has received little attention from researchers.
Methods – The studied sample consisted of 620 public librarians from 166 public libraries of different regions (the Moscow region, Yaroslavl, Chelyabinsk, Novosibirsk, Astrakhan, and Republic of Buryatia) of the Russian Federation, who completed a self-reported online survey. For measuring burnout, a new Burnout Assessment Tool was implemented. To examine the associations of interest, we used structural equation modeling with a group correction approach. In addition, library location, general self-efficacy, and length of employment at the current workplace were utilized as predictors. All statistical analysis was performed in R.
Results – Findings confirmed the hypotheses partially and revealed negative links between exhaustion, mental distance, and cognitive control and age, while reduced emotional control did not relate to age. Urban librarians tended to demonstrate higher levels of mental distance and had more significant problems with emotional regulation than their rural counterparts. Also, the non-Moscow region librarians did not demonstrate correlations between age and reduced cognitive control. Moreover, they showed a positive link between age and reduced emotional control.
Conclusion – The current paper confirmed some previous results on the negative relations between burnout symptoms and chronological age. The results suggest the existence of higher risks of burnout for younger library workers. Potential mechanisms underlying the resilience of older workers are discussed.
Discourse, Critique and Subject in Vocational Language Education in Germany: An Outline of the Concept of Critical Foreign Language Didactics
Authors: Kumięga Łukasz 
Published: December 2020

The paper offers an attempt at including the critical-discursive perspective in the reflection on vocational language education in Germany; its aim is to outline a base for critical foreign language didactics drawing on the critical and post-Foucauldian discourse analysis. The first part of the paper forms a reconstruction of the enmeshment of vocational language education in a number of contexts (political, migrational, and integrative). Constituting a transformative variant of language didactics and examining vocational language education, critical foreign language didactics will be perceived as a research program pertaining to the reflection on education and pedagogical activity (under the framework of critical pedagogy), teaching and learning (from the standpoint of the critical trend in general didactics), and language education and its specificity within teaching and learning particular languages (in the context of foreign language didactics). The final part of the paper will present methodological implications by indicating potential directions for – and levels of – vocational language education analysis. It will also offer an attempt at their further clarification aimed at a critical analysis of subject formation and forms of subjectification.

Authors: Diaz Piragauta Brayan Alexander 
Published: December 2020

El presente artículo pretende evidenciar la forma en la que la bioética ha evolucionado gracias a su aplicación al campo del derecho. Asimismo, conocer como la aplicación de principios bioéticos al ordenamiento jurídicosupera la imposición de códigos morales únicos, los cuales influyen en la toma de decisiones para regular, desde el ámbito jurídico, diversos temas de interés. Algunos de ellos son el aborto y la eutanasia, los cuales, para su desarrollo, requieren una ponderación bioética de derechos. Sobre todo, en contextos donde la necesidad de desarrollar una aplicación bioética en las sociedades democráticas del siglo XXI surge por los ordenamientos jurídicos de países pioneros, basados en la participación de ciudadanos autónomos, mediante procedimientos de deliberación en todos los niveles institucionales y sociales. Bajo la metodología de análisis y síntesis doctrinal, jurisprudencial y constitucional, se evidencia como la aplicación de los principios bioéticos a temas puntuales del derecho, tiene como resultado una significativa responsabilidadsocial que da importancia a los casos y las situaciones jurídicas complejas. Las cuales se dirimen mediante la ponderación de derechos, en coherencia con las evidencias del progreso científico. Teniendo como principal resultado, una síntesis de la relación entre derecho y bioética, llevando a la importancia de una elaboración participativa y abierta de las normas e igualmente la implementación de respuestas jurídicas relativas a cada caso en particular.
