Energy Recovery from a Non-Linear Electromagnetic System
Authors: Kęcik Krzysztof 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
The paper presents study of a pseudo-magnetic levitation system (pseudo-maglev) dedicated for energy harvesting. The idea rely on motion of a pseudo-levitating magnet in a coil’s terminal. The study based on real prototype harvester system, which in the pendulum dynamic vibration absorber is applied. For some parameters, the stability loss caused by the period doubling bifurcation is detected. The coexistence of two stable solutions, one of which is much better for energy harvesting is observed. The influence of the pseudo-maglev parameters on the recovered current and stability of the periodic solutions is presented in detail. The obtained results show, that the best energy recovery occurs for the high pseudo-maglev stiffness and close to the coil resistance. The amplitude’s excitation, the load resistances and the coupling coefficient strongly influence on the system’s response.

Abstract
Statistically, at least 50% of all injuries experienced by police officers in the line of duty are due to assaults with blunt objects. Therefore, vests used by the police should provide not only good ballistic resistance, but also good protection against such threats. Foamed materials are possible to be used for body protectors or inserts of protective clothes. The effects of dynamic impact with beaters of different shapes onto behaviour of polymeric foamed material were determined. There were used four types of beaters: flat, cylindrical, edgy and cornered. Strikes with blunt objects such as a flat board, baseball bat, edgy brick, pavement brick or a sharp stone, to which a protective ware can be subjected, were simulated. The impact load was applied to the rectangular specimens, made of polyvinyl chloride foam, with a usage of a drop hammer. Plots of force versus compression for all the tested samples were obtained and analysed. The effects of impacts with beaters of different shapes onto foamed material samples were presented. A shape of the blunt object significantly influences crushing behaviour of the foamed material. The impact energy of a flat beater is absorbed effectively on a short distance, since it is spread on a relatively large surface. The cylindrical and edgy beaters did not cause fragmentation of the samples, however, on the upper surfaces of the samples, permanent deformations mapping the beaters shapes as well as some cracks occurred. An impact with a sharp object, for example, a cornered beater is very difficult to be neutralized by the foam material, because it is cumulated on a small area.

Published: April 2018

Abstract
We report the results of studies for the radiation-stimulated changes in electro-physical characteristics of surface-barrier Al–Si–Bi structures based on p-Si. We demonstrate that the X-ray irradiation is accompanied by different processes which depend on the density of the dislocations in the original silicon crystals. A usual evolution of the existing structural defects and their radiation-stimulated ordering dominate when the concentration remains low enough. Increase in the concentration causes the increasing role of generation of additional radiation defects. Modelling of the underlying physical processes has testified that the near-contact Si layers are strained. They act as getters for the structural defects and impurities.
Being Excellent Entrepreneurs in Highly Marginal Areas: The Case of the Agri-Food Sector in the Province of Reggio Calabria
Authors: Musolino Dario , Crea Vincenzo , Marcianò Claudio 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
The paper presents and discusses the findings of a field research study undertaken in a rural area in the province of Reggio Calabria, in Southern Italy, focused on firms belonging to the agri-food sector, in particular, on the excellent firms. Its objective is to point out how, even in rural and extremely marginal areas, and in unfavourable socio-economic and institutional contexts, it is possible that excellent firms were born and grew, and that they became competitive at the national and global scale. The paper therefore analyses these entrepreneurial case studies in-depth, using a methodologically mixed approach: on the one hand, focusing on their economic performance (quantitative analysis), and, on the other hand, investigating their strategy by means of direct open interviews. The paper concludes by providing “lessons” useful to understand how firms can not only survive, but also can be competitive and expand their business, even if they are located in extremely unfavourable peripheral contexts. This can be achieved by exploiting the strengths of these territories, which, even if few, they do not lack.

Published: April 2018

Abstract

Background and Aims: Diet with a high fat and high sugar is associated with an increased incindence of the metabolic syndrome. Kefir has been known as a natural probiotic, while glucomannan from porang (Amorphophallus oncophyllus) tuber was demonstrated as prebiotic in vivo. Probiotics and prebiotics can be used adjuvant nutritional therapy for metabolic syndrome. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of goat milk kefir supplemented with porang glucomannan on the lipid profile and haematological parameters in rats fed with a high-fat/high-fructose (HFHF) diet.

Materials and methods: Rats were divided into 5 groups: normal diet; HFHF; HFHF + kefir; HFHF + kefir + glucomannan; and HFHF + simvastatin.

Results: There were significant differences before and after treatment in triglycerides and total cholesterol in HFHF + kefir+glucomannan group. The HFHF rats administered kefir with or without glucomannan had higher levels of lymphocytes and lower neutrophils compared to HFHF group (p<0.05). Only goat milk kefir without glucomannan proved to reduce platelets number.

Conclusion: Goat milk kefir supplemented with porang glucomannan could improve the health of rats fed high-fat/high-fructose, by decreasing plasma triglycerides, total cholesterol, and their immunomodulatory effect by decreasing number of neutrophils and increasing the lymphocytes. Especially for goat milk kefir had antithrombotic activity which important to prevent cardiovascular diseases.

Published: April 2018

Abstract

Background and aims: It is known that the majority of critical unacknowledged hypoglycemia has an increased incidence in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) with a long evolution. The aim of this research is to evaluate the variability of glucose level and hypoglycemic events in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) having pharmacological interventions with hypoglycemic risk. These events are sometimes asymptomatic also in T2DM: frequently in elderly, patients with autonomic neuropathy, or having a long evolution of disease.

Material and method: This analysis includes 72 patients with T2DM, with a relative good metabolic control, and possible glucose fluctuations. Glucose variability was appreciated using continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMS) used for more than 72 hours in hospital or ambulatory setting.

Results: The incidence, duration and severity of hypoglycemia are not correlated with HbA1c value, age, disease duration or treatment. Approximately a quarter of patients had nocturnal hypoglycemia and in 37,5% of events hypoglycemia was prolonged, more 45 minutes. Clinical manifestations in diurnal hypoglycemia were presents in only 40% of the recorded events.

Conclusions: The study suggested that CGMS is beneficial for patients with type 2 diabetes, with hypoglycemic risk and complications, to adjusted medication, education and prevention the cardiovascular events.
The Relation Between Metabolic Syndrome and Testosterone Level
Authors: Goel Prashant , Popa Amorin R. 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome is a group of conditions that increases the risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The most important pathogenic factors for metabolic syndrome are insulin resistance and obesity. The clinical presentation of this syndrome results from its influence on glucose and fat metabolism. Testosterone deficiency has a prevalence of up to 50% in men with metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus. A low level of testosterone is a factor for cardiovascular diseases and predictor of metabolic syndrome and, on the other hand, the components of metabolic syndrome can lead to low testosterone. This article reveals the bidirectional link between low testosterone level or hypogonadism and metabolic syndrome.
Revisión crítica de las principales teorías que tratan de explicar la migración
Authors: García Sánchez Alberto 
Published: April 2018

A continuación vamos a proceder a realizar una revisión crítica de las principales teorías que tratan de explicar las causas de los movimientos migratorios. Entre ellas hay algunas proposiciones teóricas que ponen el énfasis en lo económico, mientras que otras buscan explicación en fenómenos sociales y culturales. Se puede decir que todas ellas tienen algo de cierto, por lo que resulta esencial para los investigadores de la migración el conocerlas todas y saber sus diferencias. In the following pages we will conduct a critical review of the main theories that attempt to explain the causes of migration. Among them, there are some theoretical propositions that emphasise economic factors, while others seek explanation in social and cultural phenomena. All of them have some truth, so it may be useful for migration researchers to know them.
El conocimiento del italiano: requisito para obtener el Permiso de Residencia de larga duración CE. El caso de la comunidad filipina de Mesina (Italia)
Authors: Cama Maria 
Published: April 2018

La finalidad principal de este texto es profundizar en la legislación italiana que ha subordinado la expedición de los permisos de residencia de larga duración a la superación de pruebas lingüísticas obligatorias para personas con nacionalidad extranjera. El tema es sin duda crucial por su influencia en la vida de muchas personas inmigrantes que han visto como se añadía una condición adicional para poder residir en Italia: el permiso por créditos. Para ello se consideran los dos más recientes avances legislativos: el Decreto Ministerial del 4 de junio de 2010 y el Acuerdo de Integración, establecido por el Decreto del Presidente de la República n.º 179 del 14 de septiembre de 2011. El propósito es: a) describir el contenido de los textos legislativos que introducen estas obligaciones y algunos aspectos relacionados con las mismas, como la organización del examen y el requisito de asistir a cursos de formación cívica; b) comparar opiniones de autores contrarios y favorables a las medidas; y c) dar voz a los mismos actores involucrados al fin de entender sus dificultades y sus propias impresiones. El análisis de los textos y las informaciones producidas, a través de entrevistas a personas filipinas que han hecho el examen de idioma, ponen de manifiesto los límites de una reforma a través de la cual el gobierno italiano pretende aplicar su política pública de inmigración e integración. The main purpose of this essay is to know more about Italian legislation that strongly subordinates the issue of long-term residence permits to mandatory language testing for people with foreign nationality. That is a crucial issue because of its influence in the daily life of many newcomers, which are subject to an additional condition, if they want to live in Italy: the residence permit connected to credits. The focus will primarily be on the two most recent legislative measures: the Ministerial Decree of 4 June 2010 and the Integration Agreement, introduced by Presidential Decree no. 179 of 14 September 2011. The text is intended: a) to consider the introduction of these obligations and certain related issues, -such as the organisation of the examination and the obligation for the newcomers to attend civic integration courses; b) to present favorable and contrary opinions; c) to give voice to the involved parties in order to understand their troubles and impressions. The analysis of the texts and the information produced by some interviews with people from the Philippines, obliged to do the language tests, show the limit of the migration and integration public policy of the Italian government.

Published: April 2018

The University sector in the national innovation system (NIS) is considered as one of the key players which links new knowledge with the industry for the purpose of diffusing new knowledge for economic and social benefits through commercialization of products, services, processes and other artifacts. This paper inquires the role of Sri Lankan universities in the innovation process by paying special attention on the strength of university-industry linkages. Responses from the industrial sector obtained through a surveys and interviews with respondents. Data presented and analyzed through descriptive statistics using summery statistics and figures. Social Network Analysis (SNA) was employed to determine the strength of the networking relationship among the Universities and the Firms Qualitative data were analyzed employing the method of content analysis. The study revealed a positive trend in the higher education sector towards performing effective role in the future towards innovation. However, it was evident that these relationships are still remained very weak. The industrial sector remains inward oriented with little intention to innovation while universities still prioritize their traditional teaching role in higher education.

La finalidad de este ensayo es la de establecer la diferencia y la autonomía del “perjuicio fisiológico o daño de la vida de relación” de los otros rubros de perjuicios indemnizables en materia de responsabilidad civil, más concretamente en la modalidad extracontractual. Se parte de que el perjuicio a la vida de relación deuna persona es una lesión de naturaleza diferente a la del daño emergente, a la del lucro cesante y a la de los perjuicios morales, ya que afecta esfera de la víctima distinta de las que lesionan los otros, sea decir, diferente del patrimonio o de la integridad física o síquica.
Promoción y desarrollo de la jurisdicción especial indígena con cabildos indígenas de Bogotá
Authors: Villegas Duque Guillermo Arturo , Villegas Betancourt Constanza 
Published: April 2018

La jurisdicción especial indígena (JEI) desde su creación constitucional (Art. 246) viene desarrollándose instrumentalmente frente a la administración de justicia, pero aún no ha logrado una reglamentación legal que explicite sus objetivos y competencias. Varias iniciativas legislativas para lograr su reconocimiento legal, no han logrado cristalizar. De todas maneras, existe una dispersión normativa, un precario desarrollo jurisprudencial que no satisfacelas expectativas de los pueblos indígenas, contra quienes se comete toda clase de injusticias en fallos judiciales y conflictos de competencia bastante discutibles. Se pretende resolver autónomamente los conflictos interétnicos e intra étnicos, sin necesidad de intervención de administración de la justicia.La autonomía de los pueblos indígenas reclama desde su propio reconocimiento como diverso, velar por ella y promover su afianzamiento representa un objetivo de desarrollo que obedece a un nivel estratégico de logros políticos. Concomitante con una política pública que reconozca la diversidad étnica y la aplique en los distintos fallos judiciales, se requiere promover la capacitaciónde las autoridades tradicionales indígenas, en provecho del afianzamientode su identidad cultural, para que se reconozcan como iguales frente a las autoridades judiciales de la república.

Published: April 2018

Tenaga kerja merupakan salah satu pelaku utama pembangunan untuk meningkatkan produktifitas nasional dan kesejahteraan masyarakat Indonesia. Namun kemampuan bekerja dan penghasilan tenaga kerja dapat berkurang atau hilang karena berbagai resiko seperti sakit, kecelakaan, cacat, hari tua atau meninggal dunia. Oleh karenanya, pemerintah memberlakukan Undang-Undang Nomor 3 Tahun 1992 tentang Jaminan Sosial Tenaga Kerja yang memberikan perlindungan bagi tenaga kerja. Persoalannya kemudian adalah apa peran pelaksanaan program jaminan sosial tenaga kerja dalam pembangunan manusia Indonesia seutuhnya dan pembangunan masyarakat Indonesia seluruhnya sebagai cita pembangunan hukum ketenagakerjaan di Indonesia. Penelitian yuridis normatif peranan jaminan sosial tenaga kerja dalam perwujudan cita pembangunan hukum tenaga kerja di Indonesia menunjukkan bahwa peran jaminan sosial tenaga kerja dalam perwujudan cita pembangunan hukum ketenagakerjaan di Indonesia adalah sebagai manifestasi kepastian hukum guna menciptakan keseimbangan hubungan kerja yang mewujudkan keadilan, sebagai perwujudan penerapan nilai-nilai hukum (law in action) dan sebagai satu teknik dalam perwujudan cita hukum ketenagakerjaan di Indonesia.

Comunicação, economia e música: o papel da indústria cultural na composição de subjetividades ao longo do século XX
Authors: Schneider Marco 
Published: April 2018

O objetivo deste trabalho é propor uma análise crítica do papel central desempenhado pelas cada vez mais poderosas determinações econômicas da indústria cultural ao longo do século 20 na formação das subjetividades e das práticas intersubjetivas, com ênfase na questão dos gostos musicais. Trata-se de uma abordagem histórica, inspirada na conhecida
teoria crítica de Adorno e Horkheimer, que defende a sua atualidade, mas que acusa os seus limites, confrontando-a com algumas reflexões de Hobsbawn sobre música. São também considerados os novos horizontes recentemente abertos para o universo da música pelas novas tecnologias da comunicação, com prudência.
