Abstract. Rahajeng W, Rahayuningsih SA. 2017. Agronomic performance, variance component, and diversity of sixty-two sweet potato accessions. Biodiversitas 18: 95-100. Sweet potato is an alternative carbohydrate source to overcome the shortage of rice due to the impact of the global change. The objectives of this research were to determine the performance, the genotypic and phenotypic variance, and the diversity of agronomic characters of sixty-two germplasm accessions of sweet potato. The research was conducted in April-August 2013 at Muneng Research Station, Probolinggo, East Java, Indonesia. The material used was sixty-two accessions of sweet potato from Indonesian Legumes and Tuber Crops Research Institute (ILETRI) germplasm collection. The research was arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with two replications with a plot size of 1 m Ã— 5 m and 100 Ã— 25 cm in spacing (single row). The variables observed included: the vines length, the branch number, the chlorophyll index, the weight of the canopy, the harvest index, the storage root length, the storage root diameter, the number of the storage root per plot, the storage root yield, and dry matter content. The analysis of variance showed the high significant genotype at all the traits observed. All the traits showed a wide range of phenotypic variance and genotypic variance and high broad sense heritability. The PCA identified four principal components that explained 79.00% of total variation present in the genotypes. The traits that most contributed to the diversity were the chlorophyll index, the weight of vines, the vines length, and the branch number. The cluster analysis based on 69% similarity grouped sixty-two accessions into ten clusters, genotypes with superior traits currently on the first cluster. MLG 12695 and MLG 12505 were potentially used as a source of genes in the superior sweet potato varieties improved for the high yield potential purpose.

Bu durum işletmeler için maddi olmayan duran varlıklarının ölçülmesi, değerlendirilmesi ve rakipleri ile kıyaslanması zorunluluğunu oluşturmaktadır. Bir başka deyişle, Entelektüel sermaye işletmelerin varlığı için gereklidir.
The struggles of SMEs to embed the human resources functions into the institutional base<p>KOBİ’lerin insan kaynakları fonksiyonlarını kurumsal bir tabana oturtma çabaları
Authors: Bilge Hürriyet 
Published: November 2016

This study aims at emphasizing the functions of Human Resources(HR) that are regarded as the main source to cope with the problems and to reach the goals. The study deals with the SMEs in the Organized Industrial Zone in Manisa. The data collected from these institutions by through surveys have been subjected to factor analysis and thus seven factors have beeen defined. These factors are namely education, performance, evaluation, wage policy, managerial transparency, human resources database, career management, and occupational health and safety. Through the analysis, it has been found out that the increase in operating period doesn’t have a significant effect on HR functions. Another finding in the study is that professional companies are more effective in the struggle of embedding HR functions into the instutional base than the family companies. Yet another finding is that there is a significant positive relationship between the size of SMEs and the HR functions. ÖzetÇalışmanın temel amacı, KOBİ’lerin amaçlanan hedeflere ulaşması ve beliren sorunlarla baş edebilmesi için en önemli kaynak olarak kabul ettiği/etmek zorunda olduğu İKY fonksiyonlarının önemini vurgulamaktır. Araştırmanın kapsamına Manisa OSB’deki KOBİ’ler dâhil edilmişlerdir. Bu kurumlardan anket yoluyla veriler elde edilmiş ve faktör analizi sonucunda yedi adet faktör elde edilmiştir. Bu faktörler sırasıyla eğitim, performans ve değerlendirme, ücret politikası, yönetimsel şeffaflık, insan kaynakları veri tabanı, kariyer yönetimi ve iş sağlığı ve güvenlik başlıkları altında toplanmıştır. Analiz sonucunda, KOBİ’lerde faaliyet süresinin artması İKY fonksiyonları üzerine olumlu fark oluşturmadığı yönünde; aile işletmesi olmayan KOBİ’lerin, olan KOBİ’lere göre İK fonksiyonlarının kurumsal bir tabana oturtma çabalarının daha etkin olduğu görülmüştür. KOBİ’lerin büyüklüğü ile İKY fonksiyonları arasında olumlu bir ilişki vardır.
Sudden Phytophthora Dieback of Wild Cherry Trees in Northwest Hungary
Authors: Sárándi-Kovács Judit , Nagy László , Lakatos Ferenc , Sipos György 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
During a regular survey of declining forests in 2011, sudden dieback symptoms were observed on scattered wild cherry trees (Prunus avium) in a mixed deciduous forest stand, located in the flood plain area of the Rába River, in northwest Hungary. In this study, we correlated both soil conditions and presence of Phytophthora spp. to dieback of cherry trees. Two Phytophthora species, P. polonica and P. plurivora, were isolated from the rhizosphere soil of the dying trees. By contrast, only P. polonica was recovered from the necrotic tissues of symptomatic roots. Stem and root inoculation tests on cherry seedlings showed pathogenicity of both species, although P. polonica proved to be more virulent. This is the first report of natural infections of P. polonica.
Bondability of Beech Wood with One-component Polyurethane Structural Adhesive
Authors: Horvath Norbert , Csiha Csilla 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
The bondability of beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) wood with a one-component polyurethane (1K PUR) structural (load-bearing) adhesive has been investigated at the Simonyi Károly Faculty at the University of West Hungary. Our trial is considered a preliminary investigation in order to set the convenient parameters of bonding for the structural gluing of beech wood. Wood samples were characterized by their oven dry density, and the surfaces to be bonded were characterized by their surface roughness and surface tension after machining. Based on our measurements, we have made a suggestion on the value of the ensemble of open time, applied quantity and pressure, pressing time, and surface preparation/surface roughness parameters which result in good bonding and a shear strength higher than 10 N/mm2. Furthermore, we investigated the penetration of the adhesive into the surface and state that one-sided adhesive application results in differing levels of penetration. In order to check the suitability of beech wood for glued laminated timber production, further investigations according to EN standards are necessary. Based upon the considerations noted above, delamination tests are already under evaluation.

Published: November 2016

Abstract
This paper describes a methodology for experimental research of the change in the temperature and humidity of the air processing medium and also in the temperature at 4 points of the longitudinal section of logs during freezing. The suggested methodology is used to research the change in the mentioned parameters of poplar logs with diameters of 240 mm, lengths of 480 mm and moisture content above the hygroscopic range during 50 h of freezing in a freezer at a temperature of about -30 °C. The automatic measurement and recording of the parameters is carried out with the help of Data Logger type HygrologNT3 produced by the Swiss firm ROTRONIC. The precise instrumentation allowed, for the first time ever, the measuring of the impact the latent heat released by the free water on the log had on the warming up of the wood during water crystallization in the logs.
The Hungarian Wood-Based Panel Industry and its Impact on the Environment
Authors: Laborczy Gábor , Winkler András 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
It is well known that worldwide deforestation has a negative impact on the global environment. Forests play an important role in producing oxygen as well as retaining gases that create the greenhouse effect. Forests primarily absorb carbon dioxide, the major air pollutant released by the industrial activities. Energy production is the major source of environmental contamination. In addition to reducing CO2 emissions, another issue this industrial sector must tackle is to decrease the use of fossil fuels by substituting them with renewable, environmentally friendly energy sources. One of the answers to these challenges is the utilization of biomass as energy sources. However, biomass-based fuels include short bolts, split round-wood, pulpwood, bark and by-products of sawmilling, which are the raw materials for the wood-based panel industry as well.Wood utilization of the forest products industry has a major impact on the delayed release of carbon dioxide stored in the wood. All over the world, just as in Hungary, the wood-based panel industry mainly uses low quality wood resources and turns them into value added products. The elongation of the life cycle of low quality wood materials decreases CO2 emissions, thus significantly contributing to environmental protection. Furthermore, it is assumed that raw material demand of the wood-based panel industry could be satisfied by focusing on sustainable forest management and well-planned reforestation. Additionally, special energy-plantations may provide extra wood resources, while waste and other non-usable parts of trees contribute to the effective and economic operation of biomass utilizing power-plants.
This paper summarizes the current situation of the Hungarian wood-based panel industry and discusses the effects of the panel manufacturing processes on the environment. Also, it outlines the possible future of this important segment of the forest products industry.
Ecological, floristic and functional analysis of zonal forest vegetation in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Stupar Vladimir , Čarni Andraž 
Published: November 2016

AbstractZonal vegetation is a large-scale expression of macro-climate and, due to the climatic diversity of the country, there are seven traditionally recognized zonal forest plant communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Using data from Bosnia and Herzegovina, this study aimed to reveal whether macro-climate is indeed the most important factor determining the existence of zonal forest plant communities (ZFPC). Detrended correspondence analysis of 398 relevés of seven ZFPCs revealed that the species turnover along the first axis is strongly related to the macro-climatic gradient (annual mean temperature, mean temperature of the coldest quarter and precipitation of the warmest quarter). No correlation was detected between this gradient and topographic factors (slope and aspect) and soil reaction. Floristic analysis revealed clear separation of ZFPCs in terms of diagnostic species. Functional analysis of all layers showed that competitive ecological strategy has the highest proportion, while analysis of the herb layer alone expressed a shift of CSR signatures towards the middle of the C-S axis. Ruderality was overall poorly expressed. Statistically significant differences among communities were discovered along the C-S axis. In terms of life forms, statistically significant differences in the proportions of Phanerophytes, Geophytes and Hemicryptophytes among communities were discovered. Our study confirms that macro-climatic gradient is the most important determinant of the species turnover along ZFPCs. CSR signatures show that zonal forest vegetation is represented by productive communities in a terminal stage of succession. This does not refer to degraded Quercus ilex stands (maquis), which are in the middle stage of secondary succession.
Garbage in the diet of carnivores in an agricultural area

Published: November 2016

AbstractHuman food waste is considered to be richer in carbohydrates, lipids and proteins than most natural food supplies; however, it is very well digested in scats. So, as an indication of this kind of food in the diet, we have used each indigestible, anthropogenic origin element found in faeces (e.g., glass, plastic, rubber, etc.). There are few studies discussing the importance of garbage in the diet of mammalian predators living in farmland; definitely, most focus on this issue in urban areas. We studied the contribution of garbage in the diet of raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides), red fox (Vulpes vulpes), marten (Martessp.), polecat (Mustela putorius), stoat (Mustela erminea), American mink (Neovison vison) and Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) in the agricultural areas of western Poland in 2006-2010. In addition, we examined the spatial changes in the diet of red fox and polecat. The largest contribution of garbage was found in scats of raccoon dog (8.8%), red fox (4.8%) and marten (4.3%). The diet of polecat, stoat and Eurasian otter contained 2.5%, 1.7% and 0.2% garbage items respectively. The most frequent item was plastic. Our analysis showed that garbage consumption by red fox and polecat was greater closer to human settlements. The results reveal a continuous gradient in the garbage consumption that corresponds with the degree of synanthropization of particular species.

Published: November 2016

Abstract
The paper presents the results of resistance spot
welding of hot-dip galvanized microalloyed steel sheets
used in car body production. The spot welds were made
with various welding currents and welding time values,
but with a constant pressing force of welding electrodes.
The welding current and welding time are the dominant
characteristics in spot welding that affect the quality of
spot welds, as well as their dimensions and load-bearing
capacity. The load-bearing capacity of welded joints was
evaluated by tensile test according to STN 05 1122 standard
and dimensions and inner defects were evaluated by metallographic
analysis by light optical microscope. Thewelding
parameters of investigated microalloyed steel sheets
were optimized for resistance spot welding on the pneumatic
welding machine BPK 20.
Noise level arrangement in determined zones of
homogenous development of green areas on the
example of the spa park in Inowrocław
Authors: Sztubecka Małgorzata , Skiba Marta 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
Noise measurements are usually carried out in
developed areas as well as in the surroundings of traffic
routes providing basis for actions in order to limit its influence
on the neighboring areas. Noise measurements in
park areas are rare due to belief that these areas are silent
zones. Such attitude cannot be justified. This article aims
to the assessment of noise appearing in determined subzones
of the spa park in Inowrocław.
From the research carried out it can be noticed that traffic
noise does not have any important meaning for the acoustic
climate of the park. It is the people who stay there who
generate more noise. Comparative analysis proves the appearance
and penetration of noise from the zones with
greater level of noise to the ones with lower amount.
TiO2/PANI nanocomposite loaded in PVA for anticorrosive applications
Authors: Arora Rajeev , Srivastav Anupam , Mandal Utam Kumar , Sharma Pankaj 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
We report the morphological and electrical study of a composite of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and nanotitanium dioxide (TiO2-50 nm) in conducting polymer polyaniline (PANI). The composite was synthesized using in-situ polymerization technique. The composite was characterized in terms of morphology and electrical properties using scanning electron microscopy and DC electrical conductivity (𝜎dc). We observed that the DC electrical conductivity of the composite film increased with increasing the loading of nanocomposite material from 20 % to 40 % into PVA stabilizer. The DC conductivity results showed that the molecular chain contribution of the nanocomposite material (nano-TiO2+ PANI) was the prominent carrier in the composite film made of the nanocomposite and PVA stabilizer.
R. G. Collingwood’s Views on the Feeling – Thought Relation and Their Relevance for Current Research
Authors: Zaborowski Robert 
Published: November 2016

AbstractCurrent research in affectivity is often dominated by perspectives on the feeling/thinking dichotomy. In the paper first I reconstruct Collingwood’s position on this point as it is presented in his Religion and Philosophy, The Principles of Art, and New Leviathan, and then compare it shortly with Bergson’s view. In total five of Collingwood’s different readings of the feeling/thought relation are brought to light. Finally, I opt for a view that takes feeling and thought to be complementary and inseparable, and I try to explain why and how they are better treated in this way.

A Very Short Introduction: the difference between love and mood or emotion; the classification of love (philia, storge, agape, eros); the distinction between love and lust; love as a reason-free desire; and the notion of the historicity of love.
Religion’s Possible Role in Facilitating Eusocial Human Societies. A Behavioral Biology (Ethological) Perspective
Authors: Feierman Jay R. 
Published: November 2016

AbstractEusociality is the most successful animal social system on earth. It is found in many social insects, a few crustacean species, and only three vertebrates: two African naked mole rats and human beings. Eusociality, so unusual for a vertebrate, is one of main factors leading to human beings becoming the most successful land vertebrate on earth by almost any measure. We are also unique in being the only land vertebrate with religions. Could the two be related? This article will present evidence, illustrated primarily with Judaism and Christianity, that these two seemingly unrelated social systems – eusociality and religion – that correlate temporally in our evolution, are possibly related. Evidence will also be presented that a (mostly) non-reproducing exemplar caste of celibate clergy was a eusocial-facilitating aspect of religion in western social evolution.
After surviving cancer, what about late life effects of the cure?
Authors: Nonnekens Julie , Hoeijmakers Jan HJ 
Published: November 2016

The widely used chemotherapeutic cisplatin causes ototoxicity as late‐term side effect. In this issue, Benkafadar et al () decipher the mechanism of cisplatin‐induced ototoxicity and provide evidence that transient inhibition of p53 ameliorates ototoxicity without influencing chemotherapeutic efficacy. These findings may open exciting perspectives for reducing (late‐term) side effects of cancer treatment.

Durante las últimas décadas las áreas próximas al arco Mediterráneo español han tenido un rápido e intenso incremento demográfico, aumento de los espacios urbanizados y crecimiento de su actividad productiva diversificada. Lo cual ha contribuido a generar importantes movimientos de tráfico. La carretera es el principal modo de transporte que encauza los mayores flujos. ahora, se pretende completar las infraestructuras de transportes a través de ambiciosos proyectos de inversión en ferrocarriles. eso consolidaría su papel de Corredor, sentándose las bases para la futura organización de un eje de desarrollo. se aprovecha su buena disposición geoestratégica dentro del marco europeo Mediterráneo para alcanzar un eje de desarrollo. se buscan sus ventajas de localización en referencia a los pujantes espacios del mundo. también se reflexiona acerca de lo que ello puede representar dentro de una organización equilibrada territorial del conjunto español, ibérico y su vertebración espacial.
Planejamento urbano e estratégias empreendedoras em Brasília
Authors: Penna Nelba 
Published: November 2016

Para entender o significado e a importância da produção do espaço urbano de Brasília, na atualidade, é necessário compreender como se articulam as ações para a reprodução capitalista da cidade e como elas configuram novas centralidades, considerando o espaço como uma dimensão mediadora dessas ações, diante da necessidade imposta pelo processo de transformação da urbanização e da economia, apoiada pelo planejamento pú-blico. Para explicitar esse processo, desenvolve-se uma análise fundamentada em três pontos principais: no modelo de gestão e planejamento urbano e na ação dos agentes e atores que participam dele; nas ações políticas que se articulam para a reprodução de novos polos de animação urbana; e no papel do poder público perante o fortalecimento do setor privado para a gestão empreendedora da cidade, por intermédio das parcerias entre o setor público e o privado.
