Wideband Bandpass Filter with High Selectivity and an Adjustable Notched-band Adopting a Multi-mode Resonator
Authors: Ma Xing-Bing , Jiang Ting 
Published: July 2017

AbstractA wideband bandpass filter (BPF) with an adjustable notched-band and high selectivity is proposed. The proposed BPF consists of a multi-mode resonator (MMR), twoλ/2 resonators, and I/O feed lines with 50 ohm characteristic impedance. The MMR, connected as a whole by a wide stub, is composed of one I-shaped resonator and two open-loop resonators. Tightly coupling is built between MMR andλ/2 resonators. I/O feed lines are directly connected with twoλ/2 resonators, respectively. Due to the use of tapped-line coupling, one transmission zero (TZ) is formed near low-edge of aim passband. High-edge of passband with one attendant TZ can be tuned to desired location by adjusting bottom-side position of used wide stub or bottom-side length of I-shaped resonator in MMR. The top-side length of I-shaped resonator is applied to improve upper stopband performance and shift undesired resonant mode of MMR near high-edge of aim passband to proper frequency point. The notched-band in aim passband is dominated by top-side position of wide stub in MMR. Good agreement is observed between simulated and measured results.
Demographic potential in functional areas of the selected medium-sized cities in Poland and the Czech Republic
Authors: Obrębalski Marek 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
The article presents the population problem of urban functional area around selected medium-sized cities in Poland and the Czech Republic. Research work refers to six cities (on the Polish side - Jelenia Góra, Legnica and Wałbrzych – located in Lower Silesia region; on the Czech side - Hradec Králové, Liberec and Ústí nad Labem). These core cities with suburban areas co-create the functional urban areas with varied demographic structure and development dynamics. In the analysed period, the population growth was observed only in Liberec. The largest total population among studied areas refers also to Liberec functional urban area. The population in suburban areas of the examined Polish and Czech cities is relatively younger than in the core cities. Functional approach for development of urban areas founding depart from perception of demographic problem and challenges only by prism of administrative borders becomes more important.
Resilience of metropolitan, urban and rural regions: a Central European perspective
Authors: Ženka Jan , Pavlík Adam , Slach Ondřej 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
In this article, we examine a relationship between population/economic size and resilience of Czech regions. More specifically, we ask if there are any significant differences among metropolitan cores and hinterlands, urban regions and rural regions in (post)crisis economic development in the period 2009–2013. Three aspects of resilience were considered: volatility of unemployment, renewal (increase in economic performance compared to other regions) and reorientation (measured by the intensity of structural changes in total employment). We found relatively small differences among particular types of regions and high intra-group heterogeneity. Specialized industrial urban regions exhibited the fastest economic growth in the (post)crisis period. Metropolitan cores lagged slightly behind, but experienced relatively stable economic development. Although rural regions exhibited the highest unemployment volatility, they did not lag behind in terms of value added growth. Regional resilience in a small open economy like Czechia seems to be predominantly driven by extraregional factors such as the position in global production networks and economic performance in particular industries or large transnational corporations.

Published: July 2017

Abstract
To develop a structurally simple and easy-to-use viscometer for liquid foods, flow measurements and analyses were done in a flow channel instrument. Newtonian and non-Newtonian test liquids respectively employed in the experiments show viscosity and viscoelasticity. Changes of the modified friction coefficient during the flow processes characterized viscous flow in the instrument. The elasticity was found to be dominant in the early process, reducing the flow as a function of the relative magnitude of liquid viscoelasticity.

A combined approach to generate laboratory reference intervals using unbalanced longitudinal data
Authors: Vogel Mandy , Kirsten Toralf , Kratzsch Jürgen , Engel Christoph , Kiess Wieland 
Published: July 2017

AbstractBackground:The interpretation of individual laboratory test results requires the availability of population-based reference intervals. In children, reference interval estimation has to consider frequently the strong age-dependency. Generally, for the construction of reference intervals, a sufficiently large number of independent measurement values is required. Data selections from hospitals or cohort studies often comprise dependencies violating the independence assumption.Methods:In this article, we propose a combination of LMS-like (mean, M; coefficient of variation, S; skewness, λ or L) and resampling methods to overcome this drawback. The former is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for the construction of continuous reference intervals of anthropometric measurements in children. The approach allows the inclusion of dependent measurements, for example, repeated measurements per subject. It also provides pointwise confidence envelopes as a measure of reliability.Results and conclusions:The combination of LMS-type methods and resampling provides a feasible approach to estimate age-dependent percentiles and reference intervals using unbalanced longitudinal data.

Published: July 2017

AbstractThis review discusses the development of capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced detection and mass spectrometry techniques for the analysis of urinary oligosaccharides to screen for human oligosaccharidoses and related disorders. Capillary electrophoresis is suitable for the analysis of urinary oligosaccharides. It has a high resolution efficiency, and when it is coupled to a laser-induced fluorescence detector system, it offers an optimal analytical sensitivity. Mass spectrometry techniques have evolved as powerful tools for glycan analyses, are important tools for the analysis of oligosaccharide structures, and offer precise results, analytical versatility, very high sensitivity, high precision and high speed. Mass spectrometry is tolerant of mixtures and is a natural choice for the analysis of this class of molecules. The urine oligosaccharide profiles from healthy controls and patients diagnosed with different lysosomal storage diseases (fucosidosis, α-mannosidosis, GM1 gangliosidosis, GM2 gangliosidosis type Sandhoff, glycogen storage disease type 2 and 3, aspartylglucosaminuria, Schindler disease and galactosialydosis) and related disorders (glycogen storage diseases) are presented. In summary, these procedures are powerful tools for the rapid identification and characterization of these disorders. In all cases, the oligosaccharide profiles are strongly informative, identified the abnormal compounds, and are good alternatives to traditional screening tests that use thin layer chromatography. These tests have great sensibility and resolution and are automatable, enabling extended screening of these diseases, both as a first step in diagnosis or for confirming the pathogenicity of mutations that may be detected with next generation sequencing techniques.

Published: July 2017

AbstractHealth disparities that cannot be fully explained by socio-behavioral factors persist in the Central Appalachian region of the United States. A review of available studies of environmental impacts on Appalachian health and analysis of recent public data indicates that while disparities exist, most studies of local environmental quality focus on the preservation of nonhuman biodiversity rather than on effects on human health. The limited public health studies available focus primarily on the impacts of coal mining and do not measure personal exposure, constraining the ability to identify causal relationships between environmental conditions and public health. Future efforts must engage community members in examining all potential sources of environmental health disparities to identify effective potential interventions.

Abstract
Conrado de Freitas, M, Cholewa, JM, Freire, RV, Carmo, BA, Bottan, J, Bratfich, M, Della Bandeira, MP, Gonçalves, DC, Caperuto, EC, Lira, FS, and Rossi, FE. Acute capsaicin supplementation improves resistance training performance in trained men. J Strength Cond Res 32(8): 2227–2232, 2018—The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute effect of capsaicin supplementation on performance, rate of perceived exertion (RPE), and blood lactate concentrations during resistance exercise in healthy trained young men. Ten resistance-trained men (age = 22.7 ± 4.0 years, mass = 82.3 ± 9.6 kg, and height = 175 ± 0.1 cm) completed 2 randomized, double-blind trials: capsaicin condition (12 mg) or a placebo condition. Forty-five minutes after supplement consumption, subjects performed 4 sets until movement failure in the squat exercise at 70% of 1 repetition maximum with 90 seconds of rest interval between sets. The total mass lifted (total repetitions × mass lifted) was calculated. The RPE was recorded after the last set. Blood lactate was analyzed after each set of exercise, immediately postexercise, and after 3, 5, and at 30 minutes during recovery. The number of repetitions in each set decreased significantly after all sets compared with set-1 and after set-3 and set-4 in relation to set-2 (p < 0.001); however, total mass lifted was higher in capsaicin compared with placebo (3,919.4 ± 1,227.4 kg vs. 3,179.6 ± 942.4 kg, p = 0.002). Blood lactate increased significantly after each set (p < 0.001); however, there were no differences between conditions. Rate of perceived exertion was significantly less for the capsaicin condition than placebo (17.2 ± 1.0 vs. 18.3 ± 1.7, p = 0.048). In summary, acute capsaicin supplementation improves lower-body resistance training performance in trained young men.

Abstract
Miller, RM, Keeter, VM, Freitas, EDS, Heishman, AD, Knehans, AW, Bemben, DA, and Bemben, MG. Effects of blood-flow restriction combined with postactivation potentiation stimuli on jump performance in recreationally active men. J Strength Cond Res 32(7): 1869–1874, 2018—Whole-body vibration (WBV) and maximum voluntary contractions (MVCs) combined with blood-flow restriction (BFR) to augment postactivation potentiation have yet to be examined. Therefore, the purpose of this investigation was to examine the augmented effects of postactivation potentiation when WBV and MVC are combined with BFR. Twenty men (21.8 ± 2.6 years, 180.5 ± 6.2 cm and 84.5 ± 12.1 kg) completed the study. Participants completed 3 testing sessions in a randomized design that included one of the following: (a) control (CON), (b) WBV and WBV combined with BFR (WBV + BFR), or (c) MVC and MVC combined with BFR (MVC + BFR). Jump height and power were recorded for 3 trials, PRE and POST jump height (cm) mean ± SD for each were as follows: CON 58.9 ± 8.6 and 57.9 ± 8.6, WBV 58.2 ± 8.1 and 59.9 ± 8.1, WBV + BFR 58.7 ± 7.6 and 60.2 ± 8.1, MVC 59.7 ± 7.4 and 60.2 ± 8.6, and MVC + BFR 57.7 ± 7.9 and 59.4 ± 8.1. PRE and POST jump power (W) mean ± SD for each were as follows: CON 1,224.3 ± 221.5 and 1,234.3 ± 189.2, WBV 1,251.1 ± 230.4 and 1,266.1 ± 215.7, WBV + BFR 1,265.8 ± 207.9 and 1,259 ± 223.3, MVC 1,264.7 ± 211.9 and 1,263.5 ± 236.5, and MVC + BFR 1,252.3 ± 222.0 and 1,294.6 ± 256.6. Significant differences were revealed in jump height between the 5 interventions (p < 0.01), WBV (p < 0.01), WBV + BFR (p < 0.01), and MVC + BFR (p < 0.01) revealed significant differences in time but no differences in jump power. In conclusion, the results of this study indicate that WBV, WBV + BFR, and MVC + BFR significantly improve jump height and time in air but not jump power.
Una contribución a la comprensión de la geopolítica y los cambios geopolíticos en la actualidad

Published: July 2017

En la actualidad no existe una definición suficientemente precisa de la geopolítica por lo que, como suele ocurrir en las ciencias sociales, la indefinición hace posible diferentes lecturas, la mayoría de ellas centradas y desde la óptica del espacio geográfico, de la ocupación física de territorios ricos en recursos naturales y aun de espacios en la tierra considerados vitales para la obtención de ventajas, sean estas políticas, económicas o militares por unas naciones sobre otras. A todo lo anterior se debe la necesidad de proponer una conceptualización de geopolítica, para adecuarla a la actualidad y a nuestro universo conceptual.

O estudo teve por objetivo avaliar a prevalência de mastite subclínica e a sensibilidade dos agentes isolados frente aos antimicrobianos. Foram acompanhadas vinte UPL da Região Sul do RS de maio de 2010 a maio de 2015. Foram coletadas amostras de leite dos quartos mamários com mastite subclínica. As amostras foram identificadas e as colônias características foram submetidas ao teste de disco-difusão. Do total de 2350 amostras coletadas, 44% dos isolados foram identificados como Staphylococcus coagulase negativa, 26% Staphylococcus coagulase positiva, 10% como Streptococcus spp.. Os Staphylococcus coagulase positiva apresentaram maior resistência a cefalexina, gentamicina, neomicina, tetraciclina e trimetoprima. Os Staphylococcus coagulase negativa, mostraram-se mais resistentes a gentamicina, neomicina, tetraciclina, trimetoprima e penicilina G. Os resultados obtidos mostram que é necessário realizar um controle de mastites mais eficiente nas propriedades, assim como salientar o uso consciente de antimicrobianos nos tratamentos terapêuticos.

Published: July 2017

A BR-392, principal via de acesso terrestre ao Porto de Rio Grande/RS, foi recentemente duplicada e recebeu medidas mitigatórias para diminuir seus efeitos sobre o ambiente natural. A partir daí objetivou-se avaliar o contexto espacial que a rodovia esta inserida bem como a distribuição e a qualidade das passagens de fauna. Utilizando métricas de paisagem foi possível observar que a rodovia disseca vários tipos de ambientes muitos dos quais encontram-se fortemente fragmentados pela pressão antrópica exercida sobre eles. Além disso, muitos desses ambientes não foram contemplados pela reconexão, portanto sem efeito positivo na permeabilidade da rodovia. Foram instaladas dez estruturas de passagem de fauna, sendo que nenhuma delas possui os requisitos básicos e necessários para garantir sua eficácia, o que leva a sugerir que tais passagens, no seu conjunto, não estão funcionando e/ou contribuindo para a conservação da biodiversidade.Abstract:The main road to the Port of Rio Grande, in Rio Grande do Sul State (Brazil) is BR-392 highway. Because it was recently duplication, mitigating measures were taken in order to minimize environmental impacts. This study examines the highway spatial context associated with the surrounding wildlife crossing devices distribution and quality. Landscape ecology metrics indicated a dissecting effect in various habitats - some already fragmented by the former anthropic infrastructure and others not even reconnected through crossing devices - therefore reducing positive effects on road permeability. None of ten mitigating structures fills the basic requirements to ensure its efficiency, which suggests that, as a whole, they do not contribute to biodiversity conservation.Keywords: BR-392; Highways; Wildlife Crossings; Road Ecology.

Objetivo: identificar o perfil das idosas atendidas por queda em um serviço de emergência no sul do Brasil. Métodos: estudo quantitativo e descritivo. A coleta de dados ocorreu de março a abril de 2010. Os sujeitos foram 153 idosas. Resultados: as idosas com idade mais avançada, faixa etária entre 70-80 anos e brancas foram as que mais sofreram quedas; metade era viúva e possuía renda de até um salário mínimo; mais de dois terços referiram saber ler. A maioria apresentava hipertensão arterial, reumatismo, problemas de memória, nervosismo e visão. Majoritariamente tinham dificuldade para caminhar e utilizavam polifármacos. Ainda, mais de 60% sofreram pelo menos uma queda no ano anterior. Conclusão: os profissionais da saúde devem estar capacitados e preparados para atender à idosa que sofreu acidente por queda, de maneira individualizada e singular, promovendo ações eficazes, orientando novos hábitos, melhorando a condição física, diminuindo assim, os riscos de queda.
