Published: November 2018

A correlação entre o limite de plasticidade e a umidade ótima de compactação, tem grande aplicação em avaliações de solo para diferentes usos, como a interação máquina-solo. Este trabalho teve como objetivo determinar a relação existente entre o limite de plasticidade e a umidade ótima de compactação de um Latossolo Vermelho-Escuro em
diferentes condições de uso. O experimento foi desenvolvido na área experimental da Agência Rural, localizada no município de Anápolis e no Laboratório de Mecânica dos Solos da Unidade Universitária de Ciências Exatas e Tecnológicas da Universidade Estadual de Goiás. O delineamento experimental instalado foi inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial 4 x 3, sendo quatro tipos de uso do solo (solo em plantio direto com milho, solo em sistema convencional com soja, cultivo de frutíferas e pastagens degradadas a três profundidades diferentes (0 a 10 cm; 10 a 20 cm e 20 a 30 cm), com três repetições. Os resultados indicaram que a menor umidade ótima de compactação encontrada foi para o solo cultivado com milho. Os valores de limite de plasticidade foram superiores a umidade ótima de compactação para todos os tipos de uso do solo. As operações, com máquinas agrícolas, próximas ao limite superior do estado friável causam compactação em todos os tipos de uso do solo.

O trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a influência da inclinação transversal sobre o desempenho de três dosadores pneumáticos submetidos a diferentes velocidades de operação utilizando-se sementes de soja. O trabalho foi conduzido no Laboratório de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento de Máquinas Agrícolas (LASERG), localizado na Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, com o auxilio de uma bancada que simula algumas condições operacionais de semeadura, como variação da rotação e inclinação de dosadores de sementes. Utilizou-se o delineamento experimental blocos casualizados com parcelas sub-subdivididas, com três fatores experimentais: inclinação transversal do dosador com três níveis (+11°, -11º e nivelado), três dosadores de sementes pneumáticos e velocidade de deslocamento com três níveis (5; 7,5 e 10 km h-1). Realizou-se a medição de 250 espaçamentos por repetição. Para a regularidade de distribuição avaliou-se a porcentagem de espaçamentos aceitáveis, duplos e falhos, e pelo coeficiente de variação dos dados coletados na esteira de sementes. Os resultados obtidos mostram que o aumento do espaçamento entre sementes foi influenciado pela variação da velocidade de deslocamento, impactando significativamente nos resultados médios de espaçamentos aceitáveis e falhos, além da precisão. Para o fator inclinação houve diferença significativa pelo teste
de Tukey.

A demanda por fontes renováveis de energia tem aumentado nos últimos anos em função do crescimento econômico do país e pelo incremento de tecnologias no setor agropecuário brasileiro, contribuindo para a intensificação do uso de energia elétrica nas diversas atividades agrícolas. Um dos entraves que diminui significativamente a renda dos
produtores familiares nos Perímetros Irrigados é o gasto com a energia elétrica utilizada para acionar os sistemas de irrigação, podendo chegar a 35% do custo total de produção. Diante desta problemática, objetivou-se com este trabalho realizar um estudo de viabilidade econômica e estimativa de produção do biogás como fonte alternativa para a geração de energia elétrica a ser utilizada no Perímetro Irrigado. Foi utilizado o software RETScreen® para análise de viabilidade econômica e estimativa de produção, e os principais indicadores de viabilidade econômica foram o payback e a taxa interna de retorno. O estudo demonstrou ser economicamente viável a utilização do biogás proveniente dos resíduos vegetais e animais, como fonte de biomassa para geração de energia elétrica. Portanto, quanto maior a quantidade de matérias vegetais e dejetos de animais disponíveis aumenta-se a geração de energia elétrica e, consequentemente, a viabilidade econômica do sistema de geração.

Estudou-se um sistema composto de dois leitos de fluxo vertical cultivados com macrófitas (Typha sp.) dispostos paralelamente com iguais dimensões (2,50 m x 1,10 m x 1,20 m) e área superficial 2,75 m2. O meio filtrante foi constituído das seguintes camadas: topo - 0,07 m de brita 01, intermediária - 0,60 m de areia média, fundo - 0,13 m de brita 01. O sistema experimental foi implantado na área de eventos, Estância Árvore da Vida localizada no município de Sumaré/SP e foi suprido pelo efluente da Estação de Tratamento de Esgotos (ETE) do local que utiliza o sistema de lodos ativados. Avaliou-se o potencial de nitrificação, redução de turbidez e sólidos suspensos totais (SST) com vistas à
produção de água adequada ao reuso, quantificando-se as seguintes variáveis: Demanda Química de Oxigênio (DQO), SST, Turbidez, N-amoniacal, Nitrato e pH. O sistema foi avaliado ao longo de 160 dias demonstrando um potencial de tratabilidade robusto e capacidade tampão para altas cargas, fenômeno perceptivo, especialmente, durante eventos não muito longos, em torno de 2 a 3 dias ininterruptos com população contribuinte de até 3.000 pessoas. O sistema efetivou 40% de nitrificação, apesar da baixa faixa de pH (6,3 a 3,7), produzindo um efluente com concentração média de N-NO3 de 29,5 mgL-1. Valores obtidos para SST (eficiência 93,85%, concentrações: afluente 37,4 mg L-1 e efluente 2,3 mgL-1), Turbidez (eficiência 97%, concentrações: afluente 31,1 NTU e efluente 1 NTU) e DQO (eficiência 74%, concentrações: afluente 114,7 mgL-1 e efluente 29,9 mgL-1) caracterizaram o efluente final com possibilidade de emprego para reuso na agricultura dependendo da cultura e solo a se utilizar.
Reconstructing LOST: Connecting storyworld geography to narrative comprehension in online Wiki communities
Authors: Buchholz Laura Daniel 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
This paper examines how viewers of the ABC television show Lost collaboratively reconstructed the geography of the fictional island at the center of the show’s plot through an online encyclopedic wiki, Wikia’s Lostpedia. Examining participant activity on the wiki site over the course of the show’s six-year run reveals how narrative audiences initially processed information about the storyworld space as well as how those audiences revised their ideas and assumptions as the serialized story progressed. Here I use “The Island” page’s revision history to trace the means by which participants negotiated and organized the information concerning where the island was located in the “real world.” Secondly, I move to approaches used in locating and organizing landmarks. Finally, I address the ways in which participants synthesized this information into the creation of their own maps and the problems they encountered in doing so.
Narrating and mapping Russia: From Terra Incognita to a charted space on the road to Cathay
Authors: Prokhorov George , Saveliev Sergey 
Published: November 2018

AbstractIn the 16th century most of Russia is still a terra incognita with a highly dubious and mostly mythologized geography, anthropology, and sociology. In this article we look at some texts of the Early Modern period –Sir Thomas Smithes Voiage and Entertainment in Rushia(1605), Peter Mundy’s Travel Writings of 1640–1641, andThe Voiages and Travels of John Struys (1676–1683)– and try to uncover the transformation of the obscure country into a more or less charted space, filled with narratives of adventures and travels in an enigmatic land on the verge of Europe, where exotic cultures are drawn together in a flamboyant mix. It is travel narrative that actually charts the territory and provides an explanation from which stems a partial understanding, physical and cultural, of the “Land of the Unpredictable.”
The body within the body: Ian McEwan’s creation of a new world in Nutshell
Authors: Müller Wolfgang G. 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
This article looks at Ian McEwan’s latest novel, Nutshell, as a great innovative contribution to narrative art. As far as its basic plot is concerned, it looks like crime fiction with Shakespearean resonances, but the choice of an unborn child as narrator and the consistent perspective from within the body of a heavily pregnant woman result in the disclosure and exploration of an entirely new world. Aspects investigated are the novel’s narrative situation, its relation to Shakespeare’s Hamlet as a reference text, the use of quotations and allusions and the representation of bodily processes and the relation between the I-narrator and the author. The ethical substance of the work is shown to be generated by its specific narrative form.
The goal bias revisited: A collostructional approach
Authors: Stefanowitsch Anatol 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
There is a goal bias in the description of motion events: adverbials specifying goals are preferred over adverbials specifying source. Two broad explanations have been suggested to account for this: first, a general cognitive bias towards the aims of human actions, and second, the higher information value of goal adverbials in conceptualizing a motion event in its entirety. The second explanation predicts that the goal bias should be verb-specific. In particular, verbs whose lexical semantics focus on trajectories or sources of motion events (such as stroll and escape respectively), should not display a goal bias but instead prefer adverbials corresponding to this focus. Stefanowitsch and Rohde (2004) present case studies of ten English motion verbs that confirm this prediction. The current study takes up this research and complements it with a collostructional analysis over a large sample of 248 English motion verbs. The study shows, first, that goal adverbials dominate among strongly-associated pairs of motion verbs and prepositions in the English Intransitive Motion Construction, confirming a general goal bias for this construction; and second, that while goal adverbials are significantly associated with generic motion verbs as well as motion verbs specifying trajectories, trajectory adverbials and goal adverbials are significantly associated with trajectory- and goal-oriented verbs respectively, adding largescale quantitative confirmation to the previous study.
Soziale Unterschiede in der Lebenserwartung
Authors: Lampert Thomas , Hoebel Jens , Eric Kroll Lars , Luy Marc 
Published: November 2018

Zusammenfassung
Soziale Unterschiede in der Mortalität können als extreme Ausprägungsform sozialer und gesundheitlicher Ungleichheiten verstanden werden. Die für Deutschland vorliegenden Studien sprechen dafür, dass die mittlere Lebenserwartung bei Geburt in den sozial benachteiligten Bevölkerungsgruppen etwa 5–10 Jahre niedriger liegt als in den sozial bessergestellten Bevölkerungsgruppen. Wird nur die bei guter Gesundheit verbrachte Lebenszeit berücksichtigt, fallen die sozialen Unterschiede sogar noch größer aus. Für andere europäische Länder und auch die USA werden ähnlich ausgeprägte soziale Unterschiede in der Lebenserwartung berichtet.

Abstract
Health conferences are round tables in healthcare and health promotion. The literature review shows that health conferences are widespread in France and Austria. In Germany there are over 200 health conferences in more than half of the counties in 14 federal states. The concepts and implementation strategies vary. The evaluation studies claim positive effects but also critical reflections. Health conferences provide opportunities for a local health management.
200. Geburtstag von Max von Pettenkofer und 175. Geburtstag von Robert Koch: Erinnerung an zwei große Public Health Pioniere
Authors: Kuntz Benjamin , Wildner Manfred , Lampert Thomas 
Published: November 2018

Zusammenfassung
Im Dezember 2018 jähren sich zum 200. Mal der Geburtstag von Max von Pettenkofer (1818–1901) und zum 175. Mal der Geburtstag von Robert Koch (1843–1910). Der Beitrag erinnert an die Leben zweier großer Wissenschaftler, die sich insbesondere in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts um die Erforschung der Infektionskrankheiten und den Gesundheitsschutz der Bevölkerung verdient gemacht haben. Obwohl Pettenkofer und Koch bei der Frage nach der Ätiologie der Cholera unterschiedliche Positionen vertraten, trugen beide auf ihre Weise zur Bekämpfung der Seuche und zur Verbesserung der hygienischen und sanitären Bedingungen bei. Ihre grundlegenden Arbeiten und Entdeckungen auf dem Gebiet der Hygiene und der Bakteriologie wirken bis heute nach und sind in Teilen auch für den modernen Public Health Ansatz richtungsweisend geblieben.
Arzt und Patient müssen reden (können)
Authors: Hess-Lüttich Ernest W.B. 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
The discourse analysis of medical communication as a special case of institutional communication has made enormous progress in the past decades but has largely concentrated on the empirical analysis of corpora of current doctor- patient discourse, while other areas of medical communication as well as their historical dimension came out of focus. Therefore, the following contribution attempts to firstly provide the reader with a conceptual and terminological framework, in order to emphasize the relevance of rhetorical knowledge for a successful understanding between (medical) experts and lay people (patients). Secondly, addressing the less specialized reader, it gives an outline of the traditional rhetorical lines of medical communication from antiquity to the present. Against this background, the pragmatic conditions of this specific type of speech constellation can be described more precisely. On such a conceptual basis and within such a rhetorical and pragmatic framework, founded both historically and systematically, the entirety of discursive phenomena of institutional communication in health care institutions can be examined more closely. At the same time, this provides a more differentiated approach (compared to traditional literary approaches) to the interpretation of forms of ›aesthetic problematization‹ of medical communication in selected examples of fictional literature.
Vom Leben aus der Retorte
Authors: Drux Rudolf 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
Since 1987, the year of birth of the first child conceived outside the womb, experiments with human life have been leading to an intense public debate about the benefits, chances and risks of research in reproductive medicine. For what had formerly existed in fictional worlds only, be it the alchemical mind game, the homunculus- recipe of Paracelsus or the breeding centre of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, was now happening in reality. With in vitro fertilization becoming a feasible alternative to creating offspring, the literary forms of representation for those technologies changed, too. This will be analysed in three exemplary 1980s novels with regard to topical focus, modifications in genre poetics and specific rhetoricity. It becomes apparent that in the age of human reproductive technology, the old motif of life from the lab has long lost its fictitious status and now manifests itself in diverse, sometimes bizarre ways as a part of social reality. As a result, authors now focus on the specific ethical and social problems of reproductive medicine. However, for fictional elaboration and rhetorical ornamentation of dystopias, bio-genetics and nanotechnology are mostly consulted because these sciences offer means of seemingly creating perfected and custom-made descendants.
Testing and Performance Evaluation of Vegetable-Oil–Based Hybrid Nano Cutting Fluids
Authors: Gugulothu Srinu , Pasam Vamsi Krishna 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
The purpose of synthesizing hybrid nano cutting fluid is to improve the thermal conductivity and effective heat transfer coefficient of nanofluid containing single nanoparticles. This may be useful for making machining more efficient. In the present work, different vegetable-oil–based hybrid nano cutting fluids are formulated by dispersing carbon nanotubes/boric acid and carbon nanotubes/molybdenum disulfide (CNT/MoS2) nanoparticles in sesame, neem, and mahua oils at 1 % weight, with surfactants in hybrid ratios of 1:1, 1:2, and 2:1, respectively. Three different surfactants, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), TritonX100, and Tween80, are used in the preparation of the different hybrid nano cutting fluids. Samples are prepared based on Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array to identify the optimum combination of elements for better stability. The stability of the formulated fluids is evaluated through a sedimentation test and zeta potential test. Density and kinematic viscosity are measured for the prepared hybrid nano cutting fluid samples. Sesame-oil–based hybrid nano cutting fluid with CNT/MoS2 hybrid nanoparticles with 1:2 hybrid ratio at 15 % concentration of SDS surfactant by weight of nanoparticles has shown to have better stability. Machining is performed using stable hybrid nano cutting fluid in a minimum quantity lubrication during turning of AISI 1040 steel with uncoated carbide tools. Machining performance is improved with hybrid nano cutting fluid in terms of cutting force, temperature, surface roughness, and tool flank wear compared to dry and conventional cutting fluid.
Facility management of smart buildings

Published: November 2018

The current development of smart buildings is conditioned by the development of smart technologies, bringing many new phenomena into the construction industry that change ownership, user and management environments. The optimized and truly functional smart building already includes engineering and non-technical aspects, which must, however, be respected during all life cycles. This requires the emergence of completely new expertise or the extension of the existing expertise, including facility management. Smart buildings enable cost savings and facilitated operation to facility management. Moreover, smart buildings also contain significant multidisciplinarity, especially in pertaining technical areas. This requires the facility manager to monitor individual disciplines and ensure their interoperability and optimal functioning to meet the needs of building users.
This contribution is based on practical experiences and focuses on the analysis of the new demands that smart buildings require in management issues, the evaluation of synergies between smart buildings and efficient facility management for maximizing the use of the building and its sustainability. It also quantifies the benefits of facility management for the operation of smart buildings and their utility value, depending on the degree of integration of services.

Introduction.The given data of fundamental studies of apoptosis processes in B-cell lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) testifies about the complexity and variety of mechanisms affecting the kinetics of normal cells and tumor lymphocytes in this disease. It is important to study the severity of clinical manifestations of the disease depending on the expression of the genes that modulate apoptosis.The purposeof the study is to compare the activity of genes encoding apoptosis modulators, the cell cycle and cancer-testicular PRAME protein with clinical manifestations of the disease in primary patients with B-CLL.Materials and methods.The level of expression of the proapoptotic genes FAS, TRAIL, TNFR2, DR4/5 and DR3, as well as the HSP27, XIAP genes, blocking apoptosis was determined in 23 patients with newly diagnosed chronic B-CLL. In addition, expression of genes TP53 and P21 and cancer-testis gene PRAME are tested.Results.According to the multivariate regression analysis, the FAS gene expression in the onset of the disease had the greatest impact on the clinical characteristics of the disease. In this connection, the patients were divided into groups with normal (group) and low gene level (group II). A low level of FAS expression (Me 387 %) was associated with stage II disease (p = 0.03), a large number of lympho cytes (p = 0.001), fewer erythrocytes (p = 0.08), and a lower level of TNFR2 gene expression (p = 0.08), high level of expression of XIAP, HSP27, P21. Overall, the anti-apoptotic potential in Group II patients was higher, which was accompanied by more pronounced clinical manifestations of the disease.Conclusions.The increased anti-apoptotic potential of tumor lymphocytes in newly diagnosed B-CLL is accompanied by a larger tumor mass and greater clinical and hematological manifestation of the disease.
