Published: June 2019

A study was carried out on the impact of climate change in rice-wheat systems on farmers’ livelihood in Dinajpur region of Bangladesh to evaluate the usefulness of the implication of simulation approaches to predict climate change effect and to manage risk for this cropping system. Trade-off analysis for multidimensional impact assessment (TOA-MD) model was used in the study with a combination of simulated baseline production and future simulated yield using Decision Support Systems for Agro-technology Transfer (DSSAT) and Agricultural Production Systems SIMulator (APSIM) in rice and wheat production system. Five different climate scenarios of Global Circulation Models (GCMs) were considered. The projections showed to have a negative economic impact between 50 and 82% for the difference in the magnitude and in the impact of different GCMs which was not possible to overcome. The survey revealed that northwest region of Bangladesh is likely to be affected by climate change and has high levels of vulnerability due to limited access to alternative livelihood activities other than farming. Simulation results showed no additional economic gain from wheat cultivation under changed climatic conditions, but increased economic profit was obtained from rice cultivation due to increased productivity trend. Therefore, study suggests an adaptation package of 50 mm additional irrigation water for wheat cultivation that could be an appropriate strategy to mitigate climate change risk in wheat cultivation. This practice had a positive impact on projected per capita income gains of about 2.05%in the study area and reduced poverty rate by about 1.99%. The study also revealed that prediction of the APSIM model for adaptation impact of climate change on economic return and per capita income of farmers was superior to DSSAT model.

Published: June 2019

Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) encompasses a spectrum of conditions ranging from simple steatosis to steatohepatitis, advanced fibrosis, and end stage liver disease. Despite the high prevalence and severity of hepatic illness, NAFLD remains underdiagnosed, because of few symptoms, lack of accurate laboratory markers. Objective: To evaluate a biochemical score for diagnosing non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.
Methods: An observational, cross sectional study was carried out for a period of two years in the Department of Hepatology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. 43 patients of Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) attending at department of Hepatology were selected and underwent for biochemical investigations and liver biopsy with NAFLD Activity Score (NAS).
Results: A biochemical score (TAAG score) assigned 1 point for each parameter (fasting serum triglyceride >ULN, alanine aminotransferase >ULN, AST/ALT ratio (AAR) ≤1 and gamma-glutamyl transferase >ULN) was evaluated. TAAG score ≥3 was present in 32.5% of study population and 40% of NASH patients. It had a sensitivity of 40%, specificity 26% and AUROC 0.54.
Conclusion: Biochemical scoring system comprising traditional biomarkers did not significantly predict NASH. Biopsy is the only way to estimate steatohepatitis and/or fibrosis.

A partir da discussão sobre a esfera pública, da perspectiva crítica à concepção deliberativa, discute-se a interface entre a Comunicação e a Política, com foco nos processos eleitorais (Habermas, 1984; Assmann, 2013; Benkler, 2006). As eleições mais recentes no Brasil, mais especificamente as de 2012 e 2014, demarcaram uma mudança em termos de propaganda política, com o uso mais recorrente da internet e, principalmente, das redes sociais. Os candidatos utilizam as redes sociais para construção de uma imagem positiva, na busca de consolidar accountability político, com o intuito de conquistar eleitores, influenciar opiniões e gerar maior identificação com suas campanhas. Nesse contexto, o artigo procura compreender o uso da rede social Facebook a partir da análise das fanpages de três candidatos a deputado federal nas eleições de 2014, Margarida Salomão (PT), Marcus Pestana (PSDB) e Júlio Delgado (PSB), que têm domicílio eleitoral em Juiz de Fora (MG). As redes sociais também implicam em relações de sentido construídas a partir de interações entre cidadãos e candidatos nestas fanpages. Por isso, num segundo momento, a análise concentra-se na investigação do processo de discussão política nas redes.

Published: June 2019

Wheat is one of the most important cereals in the world and the bread made of its flour belongs to the everyday life of human mankind.The Hungarian standard relating to the laboratory production of wheat flour (MSZ 6367/9-1989) does not mention the type of laboratory mill used for milling, and it only builds up some general criteria, such as: the laboratory mill should be provided with four differently nicked barrels, a sieve with appropriate hole sizes, and also with the separated collections of the pilot flour and the bran. Our study was started at this point and the answers for the following questions were aimed to be found: do the flour patterns studied and produced with different sieving techniques, widely used in laboratory mills of the same wheat pattern show any alterations after the impact of the formula production as regards chemical constitutions. Various flours of the wheat pattern sieved with different particle sizes were studied in this experiment. In producing this pattern we used FQC109 type of mill. There were 5 different corn sizes of 250-200; 200-160; 160-125; 125-100; <100 μms used in the partition of the fractions. The results this research confirm that the quality of wheat flour can be modified by different methods of pattern production.
Correlation of pruning time and fruiting part differentiation of sweet cherry cultivars
Authors: Barbara Vaszily  
Published: June 2019

There are several extended studies in sweet cherry production in Hungary and all over the world i.e. for creation and maintainence of smaller tree crown and high density orchards. The use of suitable dwarf rootstocks for this fruit species are very limited. On one hand, most of the draf rootstocks do not cause enough growth reduction and on the other hand these rootstocks are get old very quikcly and their fruits become small, and therefore, they not serve the requirements for intensification. In summary, there is a need for those rootstock which are vital, regeneration enhanching and delay ageing. Due to ensuring above features, Prunus mahaleb is still an obvious solution for intesive production. Increasing intensification can be obtained by use of modernisation of technological elements and suitable cultivar choice. According to this increasement of intensity through application of novel technological elements (timing, manner and severity of pruning) and selection of the proper cultivar is implement able. Important differences are experienced between sweet cherry cultivars in their growth attributes, light demand and dynamics of fall back in regenerative potencial of different aged wood parts. From this point knowledge of the abow detailed is very important in order to maintain rentability of already established plantations. Our work shows the formation of production part in9-year old plantation with spike spindle and free spindle crown forms depending on pruning timing (winter, summer) and determining of their various effects.

Published: June 2019

Car lighting system is a necessary means that helps drivers to observe in limited visibility conditions, the lighting system is also used to inform the movement situation so that people around can recognize in the night. In addition, the system also has the function of displaying the automobile operating parameters to the driver through the tableau panel and illuminating the space in the automobile. In cars, in order for the lighting system to work, the driver must turn on the light switch and make a continuous transition between hight beam and low beam when the car is operating in the city or when there is a vehicle moving in the opposite direction. To reduce unnecessary operations when controlling the lighting system, it is necessary to have a design which installed automatic hight-low beam control system. The paper presents the design, calculation and installation of electrical circuits that control the automatic hight-low beam transition on automobile by LabVIEW software and applies this experiment on a real model.

Authors: Phan Tai Tan 
Published: June 2019

As the car moving, the power of the engine is transmitted to the active wheel through the transmission system. In such a transmission, the power is lost due to friction in the powertrain and the power of the active wheel will be less than the output of the engine. The transmission system consists of components such as clutches, transmissions, propeller shaft, active bridge, differential and active wheels. During the working process, each of these parts is affected by the individual factors that reduce their performance. This article is to analyze the structure, function, task and modeling of the vehicle transmission system components, building the dynamics movement model of the transmission system according to D’Alambert principle, in which the dynamics of the wheel and the axle as well as the rigidity of the powertrain and chassis are mentioned. The Matlab Simulink software is used to simulate the automobile drive system. Thereby, the factors affecting the operation of the transmission system are analysed and evaluated in order to clarify the law of motion, and propose solutions that improve the quality of the transmission system on automobile.
