Authors: EREN-ŞİŞMAN Ece N. , CİĞDEMOĞLU Ceyhan , GEBAN Ömer 
Published: June 2018

The purpose of this study
is to compare freshmen engineering students’ exam achievement in general
chemistry course using peer-led team learning model and traditional instruction
and to investigate the effect of the methods on different achieving level
students. A total of 128 students who
were instructed by the same professor participated in the study. Both in PLTL and traditional class consisted
of different engineering disciplines. Throughout the semester, PLTL model was
implemented in the experimental group while traditional instruction was used in
the control group. 14 peer leaders who have successfully completed general
chemistry course in previous semester have been trained on basic communication
and pedagogy issues and they have supported their teams in problem-solving
throughout the semester. Both experimental and control group students took the
same mid-terms and final exam which are constructed by the related department.
The data were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results
indicated that low and medium achieving students’ general chemistry exam grades
are statistically higher in PLTL group than those of traditional group
students; however, there is no statistically significant mean difference in
high achieving students’ grades across the groups.

Fusarium wilt disease caused by pathogenic fungus F. oxysporum f. sp. cubense is an important disease in banana plants. This research was aimed to identifiy Fusarium spp. collected from banana plants showing wilt disease based on morphology and molecular characters. The fungi isolates obtained was further examined for its pathogenicity and distribution in various parts of banana plants. Based on morphological characters, i.e. growth rate, total conidia, colony color, macroconidium, microconidium, and chlamydospores, F. oxysporum f. sp. cubense can be differentiated from other species of Fusarium, but not the strain. Molecular analysis using specific primers VCG 01213/16 and Foc1/Foc 2 successfully identified 13 and 7 isolates of F. oxysporum f. sp. cubense TR4 and F. oxysporum f. sp. cubense non TR4, respectively. Analysis using universal primer ITS4/ITS5 identified 7 isolates of F. solani, 1 isolate of F. verticillioides, and 2 isolates non Fusarium. Infection of F. oxysporum f. sp. cubense TR4 and non-TR4 were found mostly in pseudo stems, whereas F. solani and F. verticillioides dominantly colonized banana corm. Pathogenicity test showed that F. oxysporum f. sp. cubense TR4 and non-TR4 caused necrosis on corm of cv. Ambon Kuning. Similar necrosis symptom was also observed on infection of F. solani but with less severity.

Unijny system relokacji w sprawozdaniach Komisji Europejskiej. Ocena i perspektywy
Authors: Potyrała Anna 
Published: June 2018

26 września 2017 r. formalnie zakończył się okres obowiązywania decyzji o relokacji osób będących w oczywistej potrzebie ochrony międzynarodowej. Z przewidzianych 160 tysięcy, relokacji poddano do tego czasu nieco ponad 29 tysięcy osób. Przy zastosowaniu metody analizy prawnej oraz analizy decyzyjnej, w artykule podjęto próbę odpowiedzi na następujące pytania badawcze: (1) co było przyczyną odmowy dokonania relokacji przez niektóre państwa członkowskie?; (2) jakie działania podejmowała Komisja Europejska chcąc nakłonić państwa do wypełnienia zobowiązań prawnych?; (3) jakie konsekwencje pociąga za sobą odmowa dokonania relokacji osób, będących w potrzebie ochrony międzynarodowej?. W artykule analizie poddano cykliczne sprawozdania Komisji Europejskiej z funkcjonowania nadzwyczajnego, czasowego mechanizmu relokacji. W toku poprowadzonych rozważań wskazano przyczyny niewywiązywania się przez państwa członkowskie z prawnych zobowiązań oraz przyczyny braku woli dokonania rzeczywistej reformy polityki azylowej i imigracyjnej. Udowodniono, że wyrażone w traktatach zobowiązanie do wspólnych, solidarnych działań w obliczu kryzysów ustąpiło miejsca partykularnym dążeniom do wzmocnienia ochrony terytoriów państwowych.
Rola Frontex w zarządzaniu przestrzenią wolności, bezpieczeństwa i sprawiedliwości UE
Authors: Piechowicz Michał 
Published: June 2018

Celem artykułu jest horyzontalna i funkcjonalna analiza umiejscowienia agencji Frontex w systemie instytucjonalnym UE oraz wskazanie jej znaczenia w tworzącym się ponadnarodowym systemie zabezpieczania granic. Artykuł jest próbą odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy Frontex jest nowym rodzajem instrumentu zarządzania przestrzenią wolności, bezpieczeństwa i sprawiedliwości UE? W pracy wykorzystano metody jakościowe, a za źródło informacji posłużyła analiza treści dokumentów i literatury przedmiotu. W artykule znajdują się informacje o roli i specyfice agencji ponadnarodowych, znaczeniu Frontex i usytuowania w strukturze instytucjonalnej UE, jak również o utworzonych instrumentach realizacji celów agencji tj. Eurosur i IBM. Dyskusji poddano także aspekt przenikania się sfery krajowej i ponadnarodowej w omawianym aspekcie PWBiS. Artykuł dowodzi, że pozytywnie należy zweryfikować założenie, że to tworzone na poziomie ponadnarodowym narzędzia służące realizacji celów Frontex sprzyjają procesowi uwspólnotowienia systemu zarządzania granicami zewnętrznymi UE. Wnioski wskazują także, że pomimo rozbudowywanych kompetencji wspierania zarządzania granicami na poziomie ponadnarodowym, nadal jest to kompetencja państw członkowskich, dla których nadzór granic lądowych i morskich jest sprawą priorytetową bezpieczeństwa.
Przyczyny i polityczne skutki wyborów uzupełniających do Senatu RP
Authors: Leszczyńska Krystyna 
Published: June 2018

Wybory uzupełniające do Senatu RP w ocenie polskich polityków spełniają funkcję barometru odzwierciedlającego nastroje polityczne społeczeństwa. Celem artykułu jest wskazanie przyczyn i politycznych skutków wygasania mandatu senatora w trakcie kadencji. Porównując wyniki badań, uzyskane w rezultacie analizy zagadnienia określonego w tytule artykułu, podjęto próbę odpowiedzi na następujące pytania badawcze: 1) jakie czynniki wpływają na wygaśnięcie mandatu senatora w Polsce?; 2) jak kształtuje się frekwencja w tych wyborach na tle frekwencji w wyborach do Sejmu i Senatu?; 3) w jakim stopniu wybory uzupełniające do Senatu wpływają na zmianę jego kompozycji politycznej?; 4) czy stanowią one wiarygodny barometr nastrojów politycznych społeczeństwa? Zastosowane metody badawcze (instytucjonalno-prawna, statystyczna, porównawcza) pozwoliły sformułować wnioski. Dotychczas wygasło 44 mandaty senatorskie (4,9%). Głównymi przyczynami były: śmierć (36,4%), objęcie ważnych stanowisk publicznych (22,8%) i wybór na posła do PE (15,9%). Przeprowadzone 37 razy elekcje uzupełniające do Senatu z reguły wywoływały niewielkie zainteresowanie wyborców (najczęściej około 7%). Jednak zdarzało się, że ich wyniki sygnalizowały nadchodzącą zmianę polityczną (elekcje uzupełniające w IV, V i VIII kadencji) lub kontynuację istniejącego układu politycznego (elekcje uzupełniające w VI kadencji). Skuteczność tego prognostyka jest dość zawodna; okazała się trafna w czterech z siedmiu kadencji Senatu.

A Multi-objective Approach for Supply Chain Network Design: Tilapia Pisciculture in Paraná State - Brazil
Authors: Ramos Manoel João , Sousa Fragoso Rui Manuel de , Feiden Aldi 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Nowadays, efficient supply chain network design is a major issue, which becomes a greater challenge with the need to consider environmental and social concerns in decisions, besides economic issues. This paper develops a supply chain planning model based on a multi-objective framework that considers economic, social and environmental issues. The model is applied to the tilapia pisciculture supply chain in Brazil. A pay-off matrix is derived and an approximation of the Pareto frontier is built using the augmented ε-constraint method. Several non-dominated solutions are generated and analyzed in order to propose the preferable scenarios of supply chain network design.
Market Structure of the Feed Industry in Germany: Causing Asymmetric Spatial Price Transmission?
Authors: Schulte Hinrich , Musshoff Oliver 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Over the last couple of years, the production amount of feed and the market concentration of the feed industry vastly increased in North-Western Germany. This development might lead to asymmetric price transmission of feed between regions in Germany because feed markets in other regions grow slower and therefore decline in relative volume and importance. To analyze this development, the objective of the study was to quantify price relationships of pig, hens and calves feed prices between Western Lower Saxony, Eastern Lower Saxony and Westphalia. Assuming Western Lower Saxony as the central market and using monthly price observation from 2007 until 2017, the results show that the feed prices were co-integrated across regions and type of feed. The results show a tendency of asymmetric price transmission for pig feed between Western Lower Saxony and Eastern Lower Saxony but this was not statistically significant at the 5 % level. Furthermore, we also tested the influence of the feed scandals dioxin in pig feed and mold in imported maize from Serbia, but we could not estimate a pattern of price adjustments between regions according to the feed scandals. Summarizing the results, we came to the conclusion that feed prices might be perfectly transmitted across regions and independently from feed scandals and type of feed.

Published: June 2018

Aims The purpose of this study is to analyse the use of cognitive enhancers among medical students in Lithuania, determine the reasons for usage and evaluate the contributing factors such as socio-demographic characteristics, stress levels, sleep quality and knowing somebody who has used a neuro-enhancing drug. Design A cross-sectional survey study was performed by analysing a convenience sample of n=579 in the two universities offering medical education in Lithuania, Vilnius University and the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences. In 2014, students were asked to fill in anonymous paper questionnaires consisting of 13 items on prevalence of substance use to enhance cognitive performance, and on reasons and correlates (response rate 95%) during lecture time. Results Of the respondents, 8.1% indicated that they had used cognitive enhancers. Among those who had used these drugs, nootropics were the most frequently mentioned (59.6%), while psychostimulants, such as modafinil, methylphenidate and amphetamine-derived drugs were mentioned less frequently (38.3%). Other substances were indicated by 23.4% of the respondents. Improvement of concentration and increased studying time were predominant purposes (55.3% and 48.9% of users, respectively). Male students reported three times higher prevalence rates than females (14.6% vs. 5.1%, p<0.05). Prevalence was also higher in students who knew someone using these substances than among those who did not know such persons (17.3% vs. 5.1%, p< 0.05). This was the most associated factor with cognitive-enhancing drug-taking behaviour. No correlation between cognitive enhancement usage and sleep quality or stress levels was found, nor between usage and belonging to a student organisation or having a job. Conclusions In Lithuania, 1 of 12 medical students admits to having used neuro-enhancing drugs. Our study results provide an overview of the actual situation on correlates and reasons for taking performance-enhancing substances.

Abstract
Párraga-Montilla, JA, García-Ramos, A, Castaño-Zambudio, A, Capelo-Ramírez, F, González-Hernández, JM, Cordero-Rodríguez, Y, and Jiménez-Reyes, P. Acute and delayed effects of a resistance training session leading to muscular failure on mechanical, metabolic, and perceptual responses. J Strength Cond Res 34(8): 2220–2226, 2020—This study explored the acute and delayed (24 and 48 hours after exercise) effects of a resistance training session leading to muscular failure. Eleven resistance-trained men completed a training session consisting on 3 sets of repetitions to failure during the back-squat exercise performed at the maximum possible speed with a load equivalent to a mean propulsive velocity (MPV) of 1 m·s−1 (≈60% of 1 repetition maximum). A number of mechanical (number of repetitions and starting MPV of the set, MPV achieved against the 1MPV load, countermovement jump [CMJ] height, and handgrip strength), metabolic (lactate, uric acid, and ammonia concentrations), and perceptual (OMNI-RES perceived exertion) variables were measured. The results revealed (a) a decrease of 38.7% in set 2 and 54.7% in set 3 of the number of repetitions performed compared with the first set (p < 0.05), (b) a reduction in the MPV of the repetitions and an increase in lactate concentration and OMNI-RES values with the succession of sets (p < 0.05), (c) comparable decrements in CMJ height after the 3 sets (25–32%), (d) a decrease in CMJ height (p < 0.05; 6.7–7.9%) and in the MPV attained against the 1MPV load (p < 0.05; 13–14%) after 24 and 48 hours of completing the training session, but no significant changes were observed in handgrip strength (p > 0.05; <2%), and (e) uric acid and ammonia concentrations above the basal levels (p < 0.05). The large decrements in mechanical performance together with the high metabolic stress discourage the frequent use of resistance training sessions leading to muscular failure.
Structural Engineering Test for Determining the Circumferential Modulus of Circular Pipes and Tubes
Authors: Zureick Abdul-Hamid , Bechtel Andrew J. 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
This article proposes a structural engineering test method for determining the transverse flexural modulus of circular tubes and pipes made from fiber-reinforced polymer composite. The computed modulus from the proposed test can be used both in the design and in the qualification and acceptance procedures of these structural components. To validate the proposed test method, experiments were conducted on 23 metallic and 4 carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composite rings having different material properties, diameters, and thicknesses. In addition, three different test setups and measurement techniques were used where each ring was subjected to two collinear tension forces while recording both the force and the change-in-diameter along the line of action of the two forces. The recorded data was then used to compute the transverse moduli of the circular tubes. The transverse modulus values determined from the proposed test were compared with those obtained from material tensile and flexural coupon tests carried out on the same tube materials. The three test setups and measurement techniques yielded satisfactory results, suggesting that the proposed test method is viable for adoption in both laboratory and field testing while balancing its ease of use and cost.

Published: June 2018

Abstract
The production of gear components includes numerous manufacturing operations, which are carried out to ensure proper surface characteristics. Shot peening is one of the surface finishing processes used for transmission components like gears to improve their fatigue behavior. Shot peening increases the compressive residual stresses on the surface, and the procedure also reduces the amount of retained austenite in the surface layer. In addition, shot peening has an influence on other mechanical properties, such as surface roughness and surface hardness. An experimental design was conducted with varying shot peening process parameters, like coverage density and intensity, to alter the surface layer of 13 transmission gear specimens. The correlation between shot peening parameters, Barkhausen noise (BN) features, and X-ray diffraction residual stress measurement was studied. Linear correlation was found between residual stress and shot peening parameters. The relationship between residual stress and BN root-mean-square was not evident but was revealed by taking the ratio of BN measurements at different frequencies. Additionally, BN features, such as peak position, coercivity, and integral area, were found to have a linear trend with the intensity. Along with the aforementioned measurements, other material characterization measurements were also taken. The shot peening coverage density was observed to have a linear relationship with surface roughness values, while an intensity of over 0.6 mm A was noticed to affect the surface hardness. The results obtained can be used in the determination of suitable shot peening parameters to achieve a surface with desired residual stress and other surface properties.
Les colonies grecques du sud de la Gaule (VIIe – IIe s. avant n. è.)
Authors: Joncheray Claire 
Published: June 2018

Le sud de la Gaule est caractérisé par la forte présence phocéenne. La colonisation de type phocéen est tardive mais c’est la seule qui se soit étendue au nord de la zone tyrrhénienne ; et c’est le phénomène le plus persistant dans sa durée, du VIIe au IIe s. av. J.-C. Cet article fait le point sur l’évolution chronologique de la présence des Grecs sur le territoire celte méditerranéen et surtout des Phocéens. Des premiers contacts, il reste quelques traces matérielles dans les nécropoles celtes du sud de la Gaule. À partir de la fondation de Marseille, vers 600 av. n. è., le paysage culturel et politique change durablement. L’article présente l’habitat de Marseille et aussi celui d’Olbia-de-Provence, une des cinq colonies de Marseille sur le littoral méditerranéen celte. Cet article intègre les interactions avec les Grecs et les transferts culturels dans l’étude des processus d’installation des Grecs.
La précolonisation : un mot pour dire l’archéologie des premiers contacts ?
Authors: Esposito Arianna 
Published: June 2018

Cet article propose de revenir sur la précolonisation, une notion fondatrice de la littérature archéologique sur la colonisation grecque. On y aborde son interprétation théorique et les difficultés qui y sont liées. Concept idéologiquement très chargé, en particulier dans le cadre de la tradition d’études postcoloniales, illustrant initialement l’émulation et la rivalité entre les partisans de la thalassocratie phénicienne et les tenants de la primauté des Grecs comme civilisateurs de l’Occident, la notion de précolonisation demeure à notre sens pertinente au même titre que celle de colonisation. Les deux illustrent deux phénomènes historiquement et fonctionnellement différents, malgré l’idée de contigüité implicitement induite par le préfixe « pré- ». Cet article vise à dépasser cette idée en pointant les changements relationnels entre Grecs et autochtones imposés par la fondation des colonies et les potentiels conflits qui en résultent pour le contrôle de la terre.
