Niger seed oil has excellent quality and quantity (30-50%) and is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, mainly linoleic acid (about 70%). Thus, control of environmental temperature and relative humidity, and of seed moisture content is essential to maintain seed oil quality during storage. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine the desorption isotherms of niger seeds under different temperature and water activity conditions, to test the experimental data with different mathematical models, and discover which best represents the phenomenon, as well as calculate the isosteric heat value for the product. Hygroscopicity
was determined by the static gravimetric method, at temperatures of 30, 35 and 40 ºC, and water activity between 0.07 and 0.79 (decimal). For the experimental data, mathematical models commonly used to test hygroscopicity in agricultural products were evaluated. From the results obtained, it was concluded that: water
activity increases as moisture content rises; based on the statistical parameters, the models of Chung and Pfost, modified Henderson, Oswin, Sabbah, Sigma Copace, Halsey, Smith and Copace appropriatrely represented the desorption phenomenon of niger seeds; total isosteric desorption heat increased with reduction of moisture content, with values varying from 2539.62 to 3081.48 kJ kg-1, within the range of equilibrium moisture content of 2.4 to 12.2 (% dry basis).

Published: September 2018

Core Ideas
We did not observe any significant differences in soybean yield, or soybean cyst nematode reproductive factor between the Clariva Complete treated soybean and the Cruiser Maxx Vibrance‐treated soybean.
Row spacing and seeding rate alone, both significantly impacted soybean yield.
Seeding rate significantly affected the soybean cyst nematode reproductive factor, but this was not consistent over the years of the study.
The manipulation of row spacing and seeding rate resulted in greater differences in soybean yield and soybean cyst nematode reproduction than the biological control seed treatment.
Soybean cyst nematodes (SCN, Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) are one of the most devastating pathogens of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], causing more than US$1.5 billion in yield losses annually. The current control measures of crop rotation and genetic resistance are not sufficient to manage SCN population densities. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of a bacterial biological control agent of SCN, called Pasteuria nishizawae, found in the Clariva Complete seed treatment (Syngenta, Syngenta Headquarters, Wilmington, DE) and its interaction with row spacing and seeding rate against Cruiser Maxx Vibrance. We evaluated these seed treatments at three seeding rates (185,250, 370,500 and 555,750 seeds ha−1) and two row spacings (38 and 76 cm) to determine the effect of the biocontrol component on soybean yield and SCN reproduction and its interaction with management practices. We observed similar soybean yield and SCN reproductive factors for soybean treated with either the Clariva Complete or Cruiser Maxx Vibrance seed treatment (Syngenta, Syngenta Headquarters, Wilmington, DE). In 2014 and 2015, soybean yield increased with each increase in seeding rate and decrease in row spacing. The SCN reproductive factor response was variable among factors. Based on our findings the most economically advantageous combination of seed treatment, row spacing, and seeding rate was Cruiser Maxx Vibrance planted in 38 cm rows and 185,250 seeds ha−1. Overall, the manipulation of row spacing and seeding rate resulted in more significant differences in soybean yield and SCN reproduction than the biological control seed treatment and should be considered when planting into fields infested with SCN.
Conservation Agriculture Practices Increase Potentially Mineralizable Nitrogen: A Meta‐Analysis
Authors: Mahal Navreet K. , Castellano Michael J. , Miguez Fernando E. 
Published: September 2018

Core Ideas
Conservation agriculture practices benefit potentially mineralizable nitrogen
Optimum N fertilizer inputs benefit potentially mineralizable nitrogen, but low and excessive N fertilizer does not
Legume cover crops benefit potentially mineralizable nitrogen, but non‐legume cover crops do not
Crop rotations with ≥3 crops benefit potentially mineralizable nitrogen, but simpler rotations do not
No‐till has greater PMN than chisel and moldboard plow
Conservation practices consistently increased both PMN and yield; however, the increase in PMN and yield were not correlated
Potentially mineralizable nitrogen (PMN) is considered an important indicator of soil health. Cropping systems management can affect PMN. However, the effect size and relationship with crop yield across specific management practices remain uncertain. We conducted a quantitative review to understand how conservation agriculture management practices affect PMN including N fertilizer application, cropping system diversity, and tillage system as well as the relationship of crop yield with PMN. Data were extracted from 43 studies published in peer‐reviewed journals, providing 494 paired comparisons of PMN and 26 paired comparisons of PMN and yield across selected crop management practices. In our meta‐analysis, the effect size for each management practice was expressed as a response ratio, calculated as PMN or yield for the fertilizer application, high crop diversity, and no‐till system to the no‐fertilizer, less diverse crop system, and tillage system. On average, N‐fertilized cropping systems had greater PMN; compared with no N fertilizer, inorganic N fertilizer had 22%, and manure had 34% higher PMN. Diverse cropping systems also had greater PMN; three or more different crops in rotation had 44% greater PMN than continuous cropping systems; cropping systems with a leguminous cover crop had 211% greater PMN than systems without cover crops. Compared with till systems, no‐till systems had 13% higher PMN. Overall, conservation practices consistently increased both PMN and yield; however, the increase in PMN and yield were not correlated. Consistent with the use of PMN as a soil health indicator, this synthesis demonstrates that practices benefiting PMN also benefit yield.
Типологические и идентификационные признаки поколений
Authors: Pishchik Vlada I. 
Published: September 2018

Introduction. Little attention has been paid to the study of identifying characteristics of generations in social psychology. This paper: (a) presents a novel view of typological and identifying characteristics of generations within classical (primordial) and non-classical (constructionist) approaches; (b) classifies approaches to defining the ‘generation’ concept; (c) considers the existing criteria for differentiating generations; and (d) discusses the issue of subjective and objective criteria. Within the framework of the classical approach the generation is understood as a large group which identifying characteristics include such constant constructs as: age, historical events of life, and a place in the family. The study presents typologies of generations in Russia, America, and China that differ in their criteria for generational boundaries. It is found that respondents’ identification with their generation does not always correspond to their age. The constructionist approach suggests that the reality of life of generations is changeable and fluid and defines the generation as a non-rigid system which identifying characteristics are hard to fixate. Discourse is an indicator of the fluid identification of generations. The paper concludes with the comparative analysis of the existing typologies of generations.
Methods. The study used the technique for measuring mentality types by V. I. Pishchik and ‘My Adolescence’ free description technique. The study sample was comprised of 300 individual participants (representatives of the ‘transitional’ and ‘informational’ generations).
Results. In brief the research findings indicate that the informational generation is characterized by innovative mentality, while the transitional generation is characterized by both innovative and traditional mentality. The difference between indices of societality and individualism in the analyzed text content is statistically significant. The texts produced by the representatives of the transitional generation mainly contain the problem and the cultural context. The representatives of the informational generation typically enumerate in their texts the facts of life and acquisition of material objects.
Discussion. The classical and non-classical approaches to the problem of generations are considered as two alternatives of knowledge representation. The conclusion is made regarding the prospects of applying the constructionist approach to the psychology of generations.
Highlights

The classical approach defines the generation as a poorly structured social group.
The non-classical approach defines the generation as a form of cultural and collective representations.
The classical approach suggests that the characteristics identifying generations are stable and passed on from generation to generation.
From the constructionist point of view the characteristics identifying generations are flexible and unstable and are not transmitted across generations directly.
The typology of generations has its cultural, social, and historical specific qualities.

Background and objectives
We examined the effect of alkali replacement for metabolic acidosis on vascular endothelial function in patients with CKD.

Methods
We performed a pilot, prospective, open-label 14-week crossover study examining the effect of oral sodium bicarbonate treatment on vascular function in 20 patients with an eGFR of 15–44 ml/min per 1.73 m2 with low serum bicarbonate levels (16–21 mEq/L). Each period was 6 weeks in duration with a 2-week washout period in between. Patients were treated to goal serum bicarbonate of ≥23 mEq/L. The primary end point was change in brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD) between treatment and control conditions. Secondary end points included changes in markers of inflammation, bone turnover, mineral metabolism, and calcification.

Results
Eighteen patients completed the study and were included in the primary efficacy analysis. The mean (SD) age and eGFR were 59 (12) years and 26 (8) ml/min per 1.73 m2, respectively. Serum bicarbonate increased significantly with sodium bicarbonate treatment (+2.7±2.9 mEq/L, P≤0.001), whereas there was no change in bicarbonate levels in the control group. FMD significantly improved after sodium bicarbonate therapy (mean±SD, FMD baseline: 4.1%±4.1%; 6 weeks: 5.2%±2.9%; P=0.04) There was no significant change in FMD in the control group (mean±SD, FMD baseline: 4.6%±3.1%; 6 weeks: 4.1%±3.4%; P=0.20). Compared with control, sodium bicarbonate treatment resulted in a significant increase in FMD (mean, 1.8%; 95% confidence interval, 0.3 to 3.3; P=0.02). There was no significant change in bone markers or serum calcification propensity with treatment. Serum phosphorus and intact fibroblast growth factor 23 increased significantly during treatment.

Conclusions
Treatment of metabolic acidosis with sodium bicarbonate significantly improved vascular endothelial function in patients with stages 3b and 4 CKD.
El aeropuerto de Berlín-Tempelhof: materialización estética del régimen nazii

Published: September 2018

<p>El aeropuerto jamás llegó a ser operado como tal por el régimen nazi, y sólo tomó su función de puerto hasta el final de la guerra, cuando fue cedido al ejército americano. Tras el final de la Guerra Fría, se devolvió su administración al gobierno alemán, que lo clausuró en 2008 para volverlo parque público y ceder el tránsito a otros aeropuertos. Hoy en día sus campos son un popular destino de recreo<br />para la comunidad berlinesa, y el edificio es considerado un monumento histórico. El legado visual eterno que Hitler hubiera esperado de él, la perpetuación de sus torcidos<br />principios, pareciera ser inexistente. ¿Por qué no perpetuó esta monumental estructura los valores del régimen que lo construyó? ¿Cómo encaja el aeropuerto de Tempelhof dentro del sistema estético, arquitectónico y cultural que alegaba procurar el régimen nazi?</p>
How Outcome Information Affects Ethical Attitudes and Intentions to Behave
Authors: Fleischman Gary M. , Valentine Sean R. 
Published: September 2018

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this experiment is to examine how outcome information affects individual ethical attitudes and intentions to behave. In the present study, a scenario manager employs revenue manipulation by prematurely forcing a product through distribution channels. This investigation employs a 1 × 3 between-subjects and randomized experimental design where the scenario manager's unethical behavior is associated with three behavior-based organizational outcomes: favorable, moderately unfavorable, and unfavorable. We model individual ethical reasoning using the expanded Theory of Reasoned Action. Our findings suggest that the theory provides an appropriate and parsimonious fit for modeling individual ethical reasoning in the channel stuffing context. Specifically, we also find that as organizational outcomes of the scenario manager's coercive behavior shift from unfavorable to favorable, participants judge unethical behavior less harshly, a concerning finding for regulators and policymakers. These findings have significant implications for new revenue recognition standards, such as IFRS 15 and ASC 606.

Can a Casualty Loss Be Deducted in the Absence of Physical Damage?
Authors: Schisler Dan L. , Wasilick Andrew M. 
Published: September 2018

ABSTRACT
When a casualty event (storm, fire, landslide, etc.) does not cause actual physical damage, can a casualty loss deduction be taken by a taxpayer for a permanent reduction in value? There are conflicting opinions by two federal circuit courts, and the definition of “permanent” is still largely undefined. The relevance of this issue is of increased importance with the numerous recent major casualties affecting the U.S. mainland and territories. The 9th Circuit has adamantly held that actual physical damage must occur to have a deductible casualty loss, whereas the 11th Circuit has held that a permanent decrease in value can qualify as a deductible casualty loss even with little or no actual physical damage to the property.

OBJECTIVE
Lipodystrophy syndromes are a heterogeneous group of disorders associated with selective absence of fat. Currently, the diagnosis is established only clinically.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
We developed a new method from DXA scans called a “fat shadow,” which is a color-coded representation highlighting only the fat tissue. We conducted a blinded retrospective validation study to assess its usefulness for the diagnosis of lipodystrophy syndromes.

RESULTS
We evaluated the fat shadows from 16 patients (11 female and 5 male) with generalized lipodystrophy (GL), 57 (50 female and 7 male) with familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD), 2 (1 female and 1 male) with acquired partial lipodystrophy, and 126 (90 female and 36 male) control subjects. FPLD was differentiated from control subjects with 85% sensitivity and 96% specificity (95% CIs 72–93 and 91–99, respectively). GL was differentiated from nonobese control subjects with 100% sensitivity and specificity (95% CIs 79–100 and 92–100, respectively).

CONCLUSIONS
Fat shadows provided sufficient qualitative information to infer clinical phenotype and differentiate these patients from appropriate control subjects. We propose that this method could be used to support the diagnosis.

In particular brokerage stocks, the information has a dominant role Investors who make investments in capital market activities need different kinds of informations consists of fundamental and technical. Both this of information could be used as a basis for investors to predict the return. Information on in the financial statements consist of several financial ratios such as liquidity ratios, activity ratios, the market ratio, profitability ratios. One of the tools for predicting the stock return is the Earning Per Share (EPS) and Price Earning Ratio (PER). The population used in the study were manufacturing companies listed on in the BEI. The is year observation period is from 2006 to 2009. The analytical method used is descriptive techniques, the classic assumption test (test of multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, autocorrelation and normality test data), multiple linear regression analysis, coefficient determination and hypothesis test. From this study, it is concluded that a simultaneously exist between the EPS and PER effects on stock returns of manufacturing firms in the BEI. Partially, influenced EPS aend PER while the stock return has effect on stock returns. Thus the only variable influencing EPS eand PER are variables that influencing to stock return. Furthermore, beside , but other than EPS aend PER, investors also need to consider other fundamental factors which are not examined in this study such as ROE, CR, PBV and others

The rivers in Taiwan are steep, the surface runoff is rushed into ocean quickly with high speeds and large discharges. When the typhoons hit Taiwan with heavy rain, how to predict correct peak time and peak stage of rivers is the most important aim in this research. Taiwan Typhoon and Flood Research Institute will produce a rainfall forecasting every six hours for disaster warning, according to different physical parameters setting. The research site, Xiuguluan River is steepest one of Taiwan central rivers. By cross section data、land use、slope、soils and the rainfall forecasting, we can get results of each member by integrating the physically based on model HEC-HMS and WASH123D.The research reveals that ensemble numerical modeling can predict precise peak stage of the river by analysis and correction by machine learning system TensorFlow. As for peak time forecasting, it becomes accurate by making use of the open social network information such as facebook、network news、PTT discussion to improve. Moreover, no matter peak time or peak stage, it has highly variation in members. In other words, no member is always the best of typhoons. But we can use the probability flood forecasting to predict and get the best results.
