A Comparison of Type A and Type M Hardness Measurements on Commercial Fluorocarbon Grades Conforming to AMS7276
Authors: Bafna Sudhir 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
This note provides a comparison and analysis of durometer hardness Type A and Type M per ASTM D2240-15, Standard Test Method for Rubber Property – Durometer Hardness, measured on various commercial grade fluorocarbons conforming to AMS7276, Aerospace Material Specification for Rubber: Fluorocarbon (FKM) High-Temperature-Fluid Resistant Low Compression Set for Seals in Fuel Systems and Specific Engine Oil Systems. This note addresses the seemingly trivial but actually complex problem of how to translate Type A hardness range requirements measured on disks/buttons/plied platens to Type M hardness range requirements measured on O-rings of various cross sections. It confirms there is no simple correlation between Type A and Type M hardness measurements. It is shown that mapping the current Type A hardness range of 70–80 measured on buttons/disks/plied platens onto Type M hardness measurements made on O-rings will require broadening the Type M permitted range to 75, +11, −3 [72 to 86 or 79+/−7]. A tolerance range broader than the typical +/−5 is not without precedent, since the tolerance range for Type A measurements for conductive shielding gaskets per MIL-DTL-83528, General Specification for Gasketing Material, Conductive, Shielding Gasket, Electronic, Elastomer, EMI/RFI, is also +/−7. The data confirm the literature reports that Type M hardness measurements on O-rings are usually higher than Type A on disks/buttons/plied platens, but the difference decreases as the O-ring cross section increases. Though the permitted Type A hardness range for fluorocarbons conforming to AMS7276 is 70–80, actual commercial production is overwhelmingly at the high end of this range and is not centered on the midpoint of 75. The typical Type A hardness requirement range in industry as well as in AMS7276 is only 10 hardness units, but normal measurement variation consumes 45–60 % of that range; hence, obtaining simple correlations between Type A and Type M measurements is not possible because of inherent measurement variation.

AbstractWhile much is known about the enzymes that deposit and remove epigenetic modifications, less is known about the trans-acting system that determines when and where these modifications occur. By looking at four diverse...The epigenetic landscape varies greatly among cell types. Although a variety of writers, readers, and erasers of epigenetic features are known, we have little information about the underlying regulatory systems controlling the establishment and maintenance of these features. Here, we have explored how natural genetic variation affects the epigenome in mice. Studying levels of H3K4me3, a histone modification at sites such as promoters, enhancers, and recombination hotspots, we found tissue-specific trans-regulation of H3K4me3 levels in four highly diverse cell types: male germ cells, embryonic stem cells, hepatocytes, and cardiomyocytes. To identify the genetic loci involved, we measured H3K4me3 levels in male germ cells in a mapping population of 59 BXD recombinant inbred lines. We found extensive trans-regulation of H3K4me3 peaks, including six major histone quantitative trait loci (QTL). These chromatin regulatory loci act dominantly to suppress H3K4me3, which at hotspots reduces the likelihood of subsequent DNA double-strand breaks. QTL locations do not correspond with genes encoding enzymes known to metabolize chromatin features. Instead their locations match clusters of zinc finger genes, making these possible candidates that explain the dominant suppression of H3K4me3. Collectively, these data describe an extensive, set of chromatin regulatory loci that control the epigenetic landscape.

Authors: Aguilar Jiménez Daniel , Rodríguez De la O José Luis 
Published: December 2018

Agave marmorata R. es una planta que se adapta a terrenos someros y fertilidad baja, también sirve para la retención y conservación de agua de lluvia reduciendo la erosión del suelo. Actualmente se encuentra de forma silvestre y escasa en la Mixteca Poblana (México) donde es intensamente aprovechada en gastronomía y como planta medicinal. Por ello, se propuso la propagación in vitro como estrategia de rescate y conservación a partir de brotes in vitro de Agave marmorata en un medio de cultivo básico de Murashige y Skoog (1962) 100 %, suplementado con azúcar de caña 3 %, myo-inositol 100 mg·L-1, agar 0.7 % y 0.40 mg·L-1 de tiamina-HCl, donde se agregaron por separado diferentes concentraciones de 6-Bencil-adenina (BA) y ácido indol-3-acético (AIA) mediante un arreglo factorial 5x5. Se evaluó el número y longitud de brotes y de raíces obtenidos in vitro. Para las plantas en aclimatación sólo se evaluó el porcentaje de sobrevivencia en diferentes sustratos. Los datos de las variables se sometieron a un análisis de varianza y a una prueba de medias de Tukey (p=0.05). La mejor respuesta para longitud de brotes, número y longitud de raíces fue en el medio MS 100 % adicionando 10 mg·L-1 de AIA y la proliferación de nuevos brotes fue promovida con la adición de BA y AIA en igual concentración. Finalmente, se obtuvo el 100 % de sobrevivencia de las plántulas en los sustratos de peat moss más agrolita y peat moss más arena de río.

Published: December 2018

Abstract The aim of this research was to determine the relationship between the four integral parts of the educational process: the documents (The National Curriculum Framework for Pre-School Education and General Compulsory and Secondary Education and The Syllabus for Primary School), Croatian language textbooks (with accompanying teacher’s books), teachers and students. The pilot study included 9 teachers and 73 students. The results indicate that textbooks are mainly in line with the educational outcomes stated in the strategic documents, but that there are also some departures from these outcomes. Sometimes teachers depart from the guidelines set in the documents, but their attitude to the teaching unit Word Stress Patterns is a reflection of their personal opinion, their perception of the educational outcomes, the time planned for this unit, students’ abilities, etc. The difference in the results achieved by students in the target group and those in the control group in the variable Test Achievement was not statistically significant. Statistical difference was not found in the variable The Parents’ Background either. Some answers provided by students indicate the areas in which students have most difficulties. More comprehensive future studies would further develop the new knowledge, which might result in a more efficient study of this particular teaching unit. Key words: Croatian language; primary school; word stress patterns. --- SažetakSvrha ovoga istraživanja bila je utvrditi međuodnos četiriju sastavnica odgojno-obrazovnoga procesa: dokumenata, odnosno Nacionalnoga okvirnoga kurikuluma za predškolski odgoj i obrazovanje, kao i opće obvezno i srednjoškolsko obrazovanje, Nastavnoga plan i programa za osnovnu školu, udžbenika hrvatskoga jezika (kojima su pridodani priručnici za učitelje), učitelja i učenika. U pilot-istraživanju sudjelovalo je 9 učiteljica i 73 učenika. Rezultati pokazuju da udžbenici u većoj mjeri slijede obrazovne zadaće istaknute u dokumentima, ali da postoje pojedina odstupanja. Nastavnici također ponekad odstupaju od dokumenata, a njihov je stav prema nastavnoj jedinici Naglasak odraz vlastita mišljenja, ali i razumijevanja obrazovnih zadaća, predviđena vremena, učeničkih sposobnosti i sl. Razlika u rezultatu između učenika ciljane i kontrolne skupine na varijabli Uspjeh na ispitu nije statistički značajna. Statističke značajnosti također nema na varijabli Podrijetlo roditelja. Pojedini odgovori učenika ukazuju na to što učenicima stvara najviše poteškoća. Sustavnijim istraživanjima u budućnosti bi se nadogradile navedene spoznaje, što bi moglo ishoditi učinkovitijim poučavanjem te nastavne jedinice.Ključne riječi: naglasak; hrvatski jezik; osnovna škola.
Types of Reading Tasks in Materials for Early Foreign Language Learning/Vrste zadataka čitanja u materijalima za početno učenje stranog jezika
Authors: Smuda Đurić Marija 
Published: December 2018

Abstract This article presents the results of an investigation into reading tasks presented in the language learning materials for young learners of English as a foreign language. It attempts to explore the frequency and types of tasks to which young learners are exposed while learning to read. The results have confirmed that the authors of learning materials comply with the current recommendations for teaching foreign languages to young learners who, in order to become proficient readers, need a firm foundation in auditory and oracy skills. The results also reveal that tasks encourage the development of reading skill in combination with listening, speaking and writing; also that reading is taught implicitly, which supports the previous theories about young learners having a holistic approach to language and still lacking the ability to analyse language. However, the current analysis further shows that a significantly higher number of tasks fall into a category of closed tasks and, as such, do not offer many possibilities for learners to develop their creativity and productivity. This study has gone some way towards enhancing our understanding of the reading skill development with young learners. The observations presented here have many implications for the further research on learning materials, as well as on the teacher's approach to teaching foreign language reading.Key words: language learning materials; reading skill; young learners; tasks.---Sažetak U radu se donose rezultati istraživanja zadataka čitanja prisutnih u materijalima za učenje engleskog kao stranog jezika za učenike mlađe školske dobi. Pokušavaju se istražiti zastupljenost i vrste zadataka kojima su učenici mlađe školske dobi izloženi u početnom učenju čitanja. Rezultati potvrđuju da autori materijala za učenje prate trenutne preporuke za poučavanje stranih jezika učenika mlađe školske dobi koji, kako bi postali uspješni čitatelji, trebaju čvrstu osnovu u vještinama slušanja i govorenja. Rezultati ujedno otkrivaju kako zadatci potiču razvijanje vještine čitanja u kombinaciji sa slušanjem, govorenjem i pisanjem te da se čitanje poučava implicitno, što je u skladu s postojećim teorijama prema kojima učenici mlađe školske dobi imaju holistički pristup jeziku i nedovoljno razvijene sposobnosti analiziranja jezika. No daljnjom je analizom utvrđeno da je značajno veći broj zadataka zatvorenog tipa koji učenicima ne pružaju dovoljno mogućnosti za razvijanje kreativnosti i produktivnosti. Ovo istraživanje doprinosi boljem razumijevanju razvijanja vještine čitanja učenika mlađe školske dobi, a iz rezultata proizlaze implikacije za daljnja istraživanja materijala za učenje, kao i pristupa poučavanju čitanja.Ključne riječi: materijali za učenje jezika; učenici mlađe školske dobi; vještina čitanja; zadatak.
Preschool Teachers' Opinions on the Methodology of Teaching Activities for Developing Pre-Reading and Pre-Writing Skills/Mišljenje odgojitelja o metodičkim postupcima za razvoj predvještina čitanja i pisanja
Authors: Budinski Vesna , Lujić Iva

AbstractThe development of pre-reading and pre-writing skills starts at a very early age. In order for a child to progress during formal education, the period of preschool should create conditions for regular language development. The theoretical framework of this paper defines basic language skills and possibly determines teaching methodology activities implemented by preschool teachers. Those teaching methodologies include all types of activities, communication and behaviors of preschool teachers and children, partnership with parents, and motivation with the aim of reaching defined curricular outcomes. The research methodology presents a qualitative research using the interview method. The participants were preschool teachers from two preschool institutions in Zagreb (N=6). The aim of the research was to gain insight into the methodology of preschool teachers, which contributes to the development of pre-reading and pre-writing language skills. The participants’ answers were analyzed and categorized according to the set research questions. The results indicate that the teaching methodology applied by preschool teachers contributes to the development of pre-reading and pre-writing skills. It is very important to respect individual characteristics of children and influence each child’s language development. Keywords: child; development of pre-reading and pre-writing skills; teaching methodology; preschool teacher.---SažetakRazvoj predvještina čitanja i pisanja počinje u najranijoj dobi. Kako bi dijete napredovalo tijekom formalnoga obrazovanja, u predškolskom se razdoblju trebaju stvoriti preduvjeti za uredan jezični razvoj. U teorijskom okviru ovoga rada definiramo temeljne jezične predvještine i određujemo moguće metodičke postupke odgojitelja. U te se postupke ubrajaju svi oblici aktivnosti, komunikacije i ponašanja odgojitelja i djece, partnerstvo s roditeljima, motiviranost s ciljem dosezanja definiranih kurikulskih ishoda. U istraživačkom dijelu prikazujemo kvalitativno istraživanje provedeno metodom intervjua. Ispitanice su bile odgojiteljice iz dviju predškolskih ustanova u Zagrebu (N=6). Cilj istraživanja bio je dobiti uvid u metodičke postupke odgojitelja koji pridonose razvoju jezičnih predvještina čitanja i pisanja. Odgovori ispitanica analizirani su i kategorizirani prema postavljenim istraživačkim pitanjima. Rezultati istraživanja upućuju na to da odgojiteljevi metodički postupci pridonose razvoju predvještina čitanja i pisanja. Iznimno je važno uvažavati individualne karakteristike svakoga djeteta te utjecati na njegov jezični razvoj.Ključne riječi: dijete; metodički postupci; odgojitelj; razvoj predvještina čitanja i pisanja.
Children's Opera – Motivation for the Reception of Art in Teaching Music in Primary Education/Dječja opera – poticaj za recepciju umjetničkog djela u nastavi Glazbene kulture u primarnom obrazovanju
Authors: Jurkić Sviben Tamara , Herak Ema 
Published: December 2018

AbstractChildren’s opera is a work of art and although the performance of children’s opera in theater is primarily a visual experience for the young audience, music is what dominates the entire performance. It is important that, while viewing events on stage, children inadvertently receive music, which becomes part of the entire experience. Direct experience of children’s opera can be an incentive for the reception of artwork. Children’s opera offers children a unique art experience through its complex music and stage structure that unites the literary text, music, costume design, and staging. Through the reception of performance, it offers children a unique experience which has a positive effect on their formation of appreciation of culture and music. It is not advised to teach children’s opera in lower grades of primary school in a way where children acquire knowledge about children’s opera. Rather, students should be introduced into the world of opera through their experience of concrete children’s opera which can be achieved through reception (listening and observing). In this paper, we point to the possibility of implementing such content into the contemporary curricular context. Key words: children’s opera; music education, primary education. ---SažetakDječja opera umjetničko je djelo i premda je izvedba dječje opere u kazalištu za mlađu publiku ponajprije scenski vizualni doživljaj, ipak je ono što dominira cijelom izvedbom upravo glazba. Pritom je najvažnije da djeca, prateći događanja na pozornici, nesvjesno primaju glazbu koja postaje dio njihova ukupnog doživljaja. Izravno doživljavanje dječje opere može biti poticaj za recepciju umjetničkog djela jer ona svojom složenom glazbeno-scenskom strukturom koja ujedinjuje književni predložak, glazbu, kostimografiju i scensko uprizorenje djeci pruža jedinstven umjetnički doživljaj koji ima pozitivan utjecaj na njihovo oblikovanje kulturnog i glazbenog ukusa.U primarnom obrazovanju nije preporučljivo dječju operu poučavati na način stjecanja znanja o dječjoj operi, već učenike treba uvoditi u svijet opere putem njihova doživljaja konkretne dječje opere, što se može postići recepcijom (slušanjem i gledanjem), a u ovome radu ukazujemo na mogućnost implementacije toga sadržaja u suvremeni kurikulski kontekst.

Do Oncology Outpatients Need Chaplaincy Services?
Authors: Cedar S.H. , Mitchell Jody , Watts John , Hilborn Mia 
Published: December 2018

Holistic patient-centred care is the aim of health services in the United Kingdom delivered through the 6Cs. Chaplains can offer aspects of this through compassionate care of the patient, particularly when a person is facing a life- limiting prognosis. This study firstly evaluated patient awareness and use of chaplaincy services in two oncology settings; Inpatient and Outpatient. Outpatients had not previously been offered chaplaincy services. Secondly, the demand and needs for a chaplaincy intervention was investigated with patients who expressed a spiritual or religious belief and had received a chaplaincy visit. Results indicated that half of the patients seen in the first evaluation identified with a spiritual/religious belief and both Outpatients and inpatients had a similar demand for chaplaincy visits. Those receiving a chaplaincy visit before being evaluated generally requested further visits. Based on these results we have now established a chaplaincy visiting service in the Outpatient chemotherapy suites to try to match demands.

Strategic Management of Labor Resources
Authors: Novikova I. V. 
Published: December 2018

This article discusses the main elements and functions of the strategic management of labor resources. The theoretical basis of this work is the methodology of strategic management, developed by Dr. Vladimir Kvint.This article substantiates the need for the strategic planning of labor resources in an enterprise. The article analyzes an employer’s eleven types of direct and indirect labor resources costs that can be optimized in the strategizing process.The main elements of strategic management are leadership, organizational structures, management, managers and their organizational skills, a well developed decision making process, and managerial technology. The use of an automated process model of human resource management in the transition to industry 4.0, is promising. This includes all divisions of the organization and all the stages of labor resources functioning.The main functions of the strategic management system which are discussed in the article are the strategic planning, strategic motivation, strategic monitoring and control of personnel.This article supports the concept that global labor markets which are in the process of formation need to use different forms of employment for strategic management than their counterparts in developed economies. To that end, this paper presents new organizational forms of employment by the Eurofund. Professor Kvint also discusses the need to take into account the norms of international labor legislation and the laws of those countries whose labor resources will be necessary for the project.The experience in developing industrial and labor cards 4.0. is part of the strategic management of labor resources. This new technology is very promising, because it will substantially increase the efficiency of the systems necessary for managing labor resources in the global perfect.
To a question of development of the scenario of breakthrough development of the industrial enterprises in the conditions of the fourth industrial revolution

Published: December 2018

The fourth industrial revolution gives hope for continuation of development of human society which has already led to sharp improvement of quality of life of billions of people after 1800. To achieve it, collaboration of a set of interested parties is necessary for performance of three main tasks: it is fair to distribute the benefits from technological breaks, to constrain their inevitable negative effects and to guarantee that new technologies will expand, but not to limit a possibility of all inhabitants of Earth. The fourth industrial revolution represents a new stage in development of humanity. Her base – three previous industrial revolutions, and driving force – the growing availability of the latest technologies. This revolution only begins therefore the mankind can – and is obliged – not only to develop new technologies, but also to create more flexible forms of government and positive values which will change how we live we work and we communicate. Customization, change of balance of forces between the value of experience of certain designers and value of digital models, decentralization of design and production, new requirements to certification – all these changes become a reality of the global competitive industry. Theoretical and practical aspects of development and implementation of the scenario of breakthrough technological development of the industrial enterprises in the conditions of the Fourth industrial revolution are presented in article. The characteristic and distinctive features of the Fourth industrial revolution is considered on the basis of what the conclusion is drawn that breakthrough technological development can give huge advantages to economy and society. When developing the scenario of technological breakthrough by authors it is offered to use bilateral approach which it is possible to call the strategy of scaling (zoom-in, zoomout). The most perspective directions which the industrial enterprises need to develop for implementation of the scenario of digital transformation today are allocated.
