description: This paper is aimed at the acquisition of scientific data on the dynamics of development and actual status of roe deer populations on agricultural lands in Vojvodina (which occupy about 90% of its territory), and their utilisation for the advancement of hunting-tourism activities. The research is based on the following scientific methods: field research (monitoring and questionnaires), content analysis, measurement and evaluation of roe deer trophies, comparison and statistical method (descriptive statistics). The observed increasing trend in roe deer density and shooting in the field hunting grounds in Vojvodina (excepting the period 1992-2000), proves that this big game species is adapted to habitats with dominant arable crops. Despite the attained results, which are at the level of the European average, the potentials of roe deer, as the important hunting-tourism resource of Vojvodina, have not yet been sufficiently exploited, therefore an additional improvement of hunting management and hunting-tourism marketing is still required.

description: Bystander effects in biological systems are the responses shown by nontargeted neighboring cells, and critical to the bio-nano interface interactions. In addition to direct effects, bystander effects also determine the design, applications and safety of nanomaterials, although the related information of nanomaterial-induced bystander effects remain largely unknown. A coculture system of A549 and THP-1 was established to mimic the lung microenvironment to study the bystander effects of WS2 nanosheets (representative transition-metal dichalcogenide nanosheets) on microenvironment macrophages during the inhalation exposure or the nanomaterial biomedical application in the lung. Lung cells exposed to WS2 nanosheet resulted in an increase in reactive oxygen species and the depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential in neighboring macrophages. Bystander exposure also induced macrophage polarization toward the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype, which is adverse to disease therapy. Metabolomics showed that WS2 nanosheets disturbed the energy metabolism and amino acid metabolism of macrophages, consistent with the metabolic characteristics of M2 macrophages. Nitric oxide-transforming growth factor-β1 played an important mediator in the bystander effects. Importantly, WS2 nanosheet bystander exposure affected macrophage phagocytosis and migration and altered the macrophage immune response to endotoxin. This study improves the current understanding of bio-nano interactions and highlights the importance of neighboring cell responses, allowing us to use the maximum benefits of nanomaterials while limiting their adverse bystander effects.

description: The boundary state associated with the rolling tachyon solution on an unstable D-brane contains a part that decays exponentially in the asymptotic past and the asymptotic future, but it also contains other parts which either remain constant or grow exponentially in the past or future. We argue that the time dependence of the latter parts is completely determined by the requirement of BRST invariance of the boundary state, and hence they contain information about certain conserved charges in the system. We also examine this in the context of the unstable D0-brane in two dimensional string theory where these conserved charges produce closed string background associated with the discrete states, and show that these charges are in one to one correspondence with the symmetry generators in the matrix model description of this theory.

description: The precise determination of the physical and dynamical parameters of the HIP 109951 triple star system (WDS J22161-0705AB) which is formed by the A, Ba, and Bb components are presented. The binary nature of component B was recently confirmed by studying the radial velocities. The analysis of the system follows Al-Wardat's complex method for analyzing CVBS which employs Kurucz (Atlas9) line blanketed plane-parallel atmospheres simultaneously with an analytic method for dynamical analysis (we used Docobo's method) to calculate the parameters of this triple system. The result of our study yielded the following parameters: $T^{A}_{\rm eff}=5836\pm 80$ K, $R^{A}=1.090\pm0.039R_\odot$, $\log$g$^{A}=4.45\pm0.06$, $\mathcal{M}^{A}=1.05\pm0.16\mathcal{M}_\odot$; $T^{Ba}_{\rm eff}=5115\pm 80$ K, $R^{Ba}=0.596\pm0.05R_\odot$, $\log$ g$^{Ba}=4.60\pm0.07$, $\mathcal{M}^{Ba}=0.83\pm0.16\mathcal{M}_\odot$, $T^{Bb}_{\rm eff}=4500\pm 80$ K, $R^{Bb}=0.490\pm0.06R_\odot$, $\log$ g$^{Bb}=4.65\pm0.07$, and $\mathcal{M}^{Bb}=0.67\pm0.16\mathcal{M}_\odot$ based on the revised \textit{Hipparcos} parallax. The orbital solution gave a total mass as $\mathcal{M}=2.59\mathcal{M}_\odot$ based on Gaia parallax and $\mathcal{M}=2.15\mathcal{M}_\odot$ based on the revised \textit{Hipparcos} parallax. The synthetic spectral energy distributions (SED) and synthetic stellar photometry of the entire system and individual components are given and compared with the available observational ones. Finally, the positions of the system components on the HR diagram and the evolutionary tracks are given and their formation and the evolution of the system are discussed.

description: Purpose: To analyze the results and complications of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in the treatment of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Methods: Retrospective study of all patients that underwent PPV for PDR in the period between April 2012 and June 2014 and with a minimum follow-up of 2 months. Data collected included baseline demographics, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), indications for surgery, complications, anatomic and functional success. Results: One hundred and eight eyes of 85 patients underwent PPV for PDR in the referred period. Patient’s mean age was 62.45±10.89 years, with female predominance (55.3%). Mean follow-up time was 12.24 months. Preoperative mean BCVA was 1.37±0.69 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolutions (logMAR). The three main indications for surgery were: vitreous haemorrhage (VH) in 68 eyes, tractional retinal detachment (TRD) in 9 eyes and VH associated with TRD (11 eyes). Fifty-nine eyes underwent phacoemulsification in the same surgery. In the last follow-up appointment, mean BCVA was superior to that registered preoperatively (0.87±0.76 logMAR, p <0.001). Global functional success rate was 80.6%, and it was superior in the HV group (89.7%). Anatomic success rate was 98.1%. Conclusions: Our study suggests PPV can be used successfully to treat PDR complications and often results in patient’s visual acuity improvement.

description: Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) technology offers more feasible propagation paths for millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication systems to overcome blockage than existing technologies. In this paper, we consider a downlink wireless system with the IRS and formulate a joint power allocation and beamforming design problem to maximize the weighted sum-rate, which is a multi-variable optimization problem. To solve the problem, we propose a novel alternating manifold optimization based beamforming algorithm. Simulation results show that our proposed optimization algorithm outperforms existing algorithms significantly in improving the weighted sum-rate of the wireless communication system.

description: In the paper, the tendencies in the development of wheat and corn production in the time period from 1976 to 2010 are researched, with a focus on the cluster analysis of the market production of these products per districts in Serbia in 2009. On the basis of more important available land capacities, the volume of production and scope of economic development, the I-distance method is used to rank the districts. The ranking of the districts according to the analysed characteristics is conducted on the basis of the median value of data per municipalities. For each of the mentioned groups of characteristics, the I-distance is used to rank the districts from 1 to 25, Rank 1 being the best and Rank 25 the worst. The similarities of the districts according to the analysed characteristics are accounted for by a complete link method of a hierarchical cluster analysis and the results are represented by a dendrogram and a cartogram. Apart from favourable conditions (land, climate, and so on), producers’ traditional habits have to the greatest extent had an impact on the unjustifiably high presence of wheat and corn in the structure of crop production. That, to a great extent, has had an influence on the high marketability of the production of wheat and corn in Serbia as well.

description: We calculate the stationary current through two double quantum dots which are interacting via a common phonon environment. Numerical and analytical solutions of a master equation in the stationary limit show that the current can be increased as well as decreased due to a dissipation mediated interaction. This effect is closely related to collective, spontaneous emission of phonons (Dicke super- and subradiance effect), and the generation of a `cross-coherence' with entanglement of charges in singlet or triplet states between the dots. Furthermore, we discuss an inelastic `current switch' mechanism by which one double dot controls the current of the other.

description: There is a rapidly expanding body of work which describes what needs to be done by business to help build a sustainable economy. This is generated by government, civil society and by business itself. However, there is a separation between what is expected of the sector, what is being achieved by individual companies and what business says in public about the future. There is also a review of the literature providing key principles of sustainable agriculture. Sustainable agriculture is a way of raising food that is healthy for consumers and animals, does not harm the environment, is humane for workers, respects animals, provides a fair wage to the farmer, and supports and enhances rural communities. Yet movements toward a sustainable agriculture is currently fragmented and without clear direction. This paper aims to explore this relationship between what has been identified as the role of governoment and cooperatives in building a sustainable economy and the current situation. With exploratory research this paper attempted to stimulate debate about contemporary sustainability challengesits legal and policy framework. The final aim of this paper is to deal with the challenge of putting “evidence-based policy-making” and on how private sector can support evidence-based policy action.

description: This paper proposes a Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) architecture for planetary rovers targeting the conditions of upcoming Mars exploration missions such as Mars 2020 and the Sample Fetching Rover (SFR). The navigation requirements of these missions demand a control architecture featuring autonomous capabilities to achieve a fast and long traverse. The proposed solution presents a two-level architecture where the efficient navigation (low) level is always active and the full navigation (upper) level is enabled according to the difficulty of the terrain. The first level is an efficient implementation of the basic functionalities for autonomous navigation based on hazard detection, local path replanning, and trajectory control with visual odometry. The second level implements an adaptive SLAM algorithm that improves the relative localization, evaluates the traversability of the terrain ahead for a more optimal path planning, and performs global (absolute) localization that corrects the pose drift during longer traverses. The architecture provides a solution for long range, low supervision and fast planetary exploration. Both navigation levels have been validated on planetary analogue field test campaigns.

The EPR argument did not take into account that the observers' information was localized, like any other physical object. General relativity introduces new problems: there are horizons which act as one-way membranes for the propagation of quantum information, in particular black holes which act like sinks.

description: The aim of study was to compare the economic characteristics of production of porkers Mangalitsa and Yorkshire race. The observed productions should provide the raw material for the production of traditional fermented sausages, or specific products with protected origin. According to this a calculation is derived with the total cost of fattening pigs Mangalitsa and Yorkshire race to the slaughter weight of 132 pounds under the conditions of modern farm housing system. The above calculation includes the cost of materials, the cost of energy and external services, salary costs and amortization of facilities and equipment used. In this way we can get to the total costs of finishing of pigs produced per kilogram of live weight without the overhead costs. The costs are calculated as described above for Yorkshire race and it is 120.88 RSD/kg or 1.26 €/ kg and it is lower than the current purchase price in the market. On the other hand the costs of finishing Mangalitsa race are significantly higher than the purchase price of pigs bred races and it is 245.19 RSD/kg or 2.13 €/kg, which is caused by a slow weight gain and inefficient feed conversion compared to the refined race.

description: Phototherapy is a minimally invasive oncological treatment strategy in which photon energy is delivered to the tumor tissue. Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) can enhance photothermal or photodynamic phenomena when excited by a wavelength beam in the range of UV-IR. GNPs are used in phototherapy for cancer cell treatment by controlling the physical and chemical conditions. Given the growing application of GNPs for the treatment of breast cancer, predicting the behavior of cancer cells during exposure to GNPs is of prime importance. However, the prediction might be far from reality due to the inherent complexities associated with the conditions of the treatment methods and the mechanisms involved in cell toxicity. This study provides general information by collecting data on the cytotoxicity of GNPs along with this process. Data mining was performed using a mathematical modeling method called SA-LOOCV-GRBF. In this study, eight parameters including particle size, zeta potential, concentration of GNPs in the cell culture medium, incubation time, light exposure time, maximum wavelength absorbance (MAW) of GNPs, irradiation beam wavelength (IW) and light source power density (PD) were measured. In this modeling, these parameters were considered as model inputs, and the cell viability of breast cancer cells after treatment was treated as the model output. As a result, the physical and chemical properties of GNPs as well as their application conditions wield influence on cytotoxicity. The results help select the desired condition for these nanoparticles in the phototherapy of breast cancer cells.

description: For a finite rank projective bundle over a compact manifold, so associated to a torsion, Dixmier-Douady, 3-class, w, on the manifold, we define the ring of differential operators `acting on sections of the projective bundle' in a formal sense. In particular, any oriented even-dimensional manifold carries a projective spin Dirac operator in this sense. More generally the corresponding space of pseudodifferential operators is defined, with supports sufficiently close to the diagonal, i.e. the identity relation. For such elliptic operators we define the numerical index in an essentially analytic way, as the trace of the commutator of the operator and a parametrix and show that this is homotopy invariant. Using the heat kernel method for the twisted, projective spin Dirac operator, we show that this index is given by the usual formula, now in terms of the twisted Chern character of the symbol, which in this case defines an element of K-theory twisted by w; hence the index is a rational number but in general it is not an integer.

description: sustainable future. Carbon emissions reduction target represents a global challenge gaining the headlines around the world and pushing academic scientists to discuss actively possible technical innovations, economic consequences and environmental benefits. On the other hand consumers already have recognized a clear willingness to buy for the environmental and ethical dimensions of food products and policies for the primary sector, at the same time, have driven the above-described dynamics with greater resolution, recognizing the potential for an effective response to the squeeze in farm profit margins, supporting producers in their effort to leave the perimeter of commodities. However, Carbon footprint estimates largely differ across the literature, even though they refer to the same product, involving the same production processes. The present paper addresses explicitly the latter drawback, implementing a meta-analysis focused on fresh vegetables chain. The objective is assessing the uncertainty of `Carbon footprint' estimates, seeking a meaningful statistical description of the findings of a vast collection of studies. Our results show the large estimates variability across empirical studies and how they these estimates largely depend by certain study-specific characteristics, like methodology adopted.

description: Catering in Finland and Sweden constitutes a large industry serving annually 800 million meals and 1,9 billion meals, respectively. On the sector public caterers constitute an influential professional subgroup responding to political pressures for sustainability and illustrating the use of local, organic and fairly traded food. However, heavy cost pressures and currently dilemmatic interpretations of sustainability present public caterers as objects of cultural expectations and arouse their emotions in terms of sustainability in professional environments. This paper highlights caterers’ ‘emotional life-world’ due to their green connections as a micro-sociological phenomenon. The paper investigates how professional emotions as a social force promote structural changes within food systems, as local, organic or environmental interpretations of sustainable food gain preference. In-depth interviews with 16 Finnish caterers were extracted into three exemplary cases of a happy caterer, procuring organic and highly local food, a ‘luke-warm’ contract caterer moving after the trendy demand and a stressed caterer, looking for scientific evidence for sustainability. The caterers’ emotional wellbeing was clearly affected by their green connections, whereby both positive and negative emotions were seen to drive towards sustainable catering, albeit differently interpreted; either as a local and organic or an environmental-technical orientation

However if the left paramere of S. mayori is damaged and possesses an elongate blade-like apex the two species may be distinguished by the presence of the subapical dorsal shelf in the apical 1/5 of the endophallus and the very deep lateral constriction of the right paramere at the level of the digitate process of the endophallus in S. tridens.
 Etymology. The specific epithet of this species refers to the unique trident-like, elongate, posteriorly pointed parameres and endophallus of the aedeagus.

description: The purpose of this research was to investigate students’ approaches to learning and use of cognitive strategies in a collaborative learning environment with team-based learning. In a mixed-methods study, 263 medical students from 6 different semesters answered the R-SPQ-2F Questionnaire and MSLQ’s items that measure elaboration and rehearsal strategies. ANOVA was used to compare differences between semesters, and Pearson’s correlation to investigate how approaches to learning, cognitive strategies, and academic achievement correlate. Focus groups elucidated which elements in the collaborative learning environment enhanced or hindered deep approach to learning or elaboration strategies and why. Students took a deep approach to learning and sometimes a surface approach. They used elaboration and rehearsal strategies. First semester’s students had significantly higher deep approach than fifth and sixth semesters’ students. Elaboration strategies significantly correlated with final grade. Commitment to the group, case discussions, feeling challenged by teachers, and patients’ visits were perceived to enhance deep approach to learning and use of elaboration strategies, while overload in course activities hindered deep approach to learning. Particular elements of the learning environment triggered students to take deep approach to learning and use elaboration strategies, and this positively correlated to academic achievement.

description: Physical systems with material properties modulated in time provide versatile routes for designing magnetless nonreciprocal devices. Traditionally, nonreciprocity in such systems is achieved exploiting both temporal and spatial modulations, which inevitably requires a series of time-modulated elements distributed in space. In this paper, we introduce a concept of bianisotropic time-modulated systems capable of nonreciprocal wave propagation at the fundamental frequency and based on uniform, solely temporal material modulations. In the absence of temporal modulations, the considered bianisotropic systems are reciprocal. We theoretically explain the nonreciprocal effect by analyzing wave propagation in an unbounded bianisotropic time-modulated medium. The effect stems from temporal modulation of spatial dispersion effects which to date were not taken into account in previous studies based on the local-permittivity description. We propose a circuit design of a bianisotropic metasurface that can provide phase-insensitive isolation and unidirectional amplification.

description: A incidência de catarata e elevação da pressão intraocular (PIO), com ou sem glaucoma, aumenta com a idade, sendo que, muitas vezes, ambas coexistem. A redução da PIO, após a facoemulsificação e implante de uma lente intraocular, é conhecida há muito. Todavia, a sua magnitude e importância clínica continuam a ser debatidas. Neste artigo, pretende-se fazer uma revisão dos mecanismos que contribuem para este efeito, bem como dos resultados publicados em diferentes tipos de glaucoma, de forma a melhor integrar a cirurgia de catarata no algoritmo terapêutico da hipertensão ocular e do glaucoma.

description: mainly due to a widespread discontent with the industrialization of agricultural production and food processing and growing public pressure on agribusiness firms to implement more sustainable management practices. In this paper we present the results of an explorative empirical study of sustainability management in German agribusiness firms. The study shows that agribusiness firms have developed a broad understanding of sustainability management and perceive a multi-facetted spectrum of societal demands they have to meet. The most important arguments for implementing more sustainable management practices are that companies have to make sure that they are trusted by society in the long run and that the perception of a company by external stakeholders has become more and more important. The companies surveyed know quite a number of sustainability programmes and standards, but the number of companies that actually participate in these initiatives is much smaller. Nonetheless, the majority of the respondents feels that their company is more successful with regard to sustainability management than industry average.

description: É cada vez mais frequente a coexistência de glaucoma e catarata na nossa prática clínica diária. Este artigo de revisão pretende avaliar, de forma sucinta, as indicações para a cirurgia combinada de glaucoma e catarata, as diferentes técnicas cirúrgicas utilizadas, os respectivos resultados e as suas complicações. Através de uma revisão da literatura, discute-se a abordagem inicial à patologia combinada, as incidências da cirurgia filtrante tradicional, o papel da facoemulsificação isolada e os resultados expectáveis com a cirurgia de glaucoma minimamente invasiva. Concluímos que a cirurgia de catarata isolada pode reduzir a PIO, particularmente nos ângulos fechados, e que pode ser indicada nos glaucomas iniciais. À medida que a cirurgia minimamente invasiva melhora a sua relação custo-benefício, capitalizando a redução da pressão e do número de fármacos se combinada com a facoemulsificação, afigura-se iminente uma mudança de paradigma para os nossos doentes com glaucoma ligeiro a moderado. Ao pouparmos a conjuntiva destes doentes, não limitamos o sucesso de futuros procedimentos, muito eficazes mas também mais agressivos, se forem necessários. Nos glaucomas mais avançados, estas cirurgias filtrantes mais tradicionais são ainda a melhor opção para o controlo da doença, de forma sequencial ou combinada.

description: Big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) and the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies independently predict the universal baryon density. Comparing their predictions will provide a fundamental test on cosmology. Using BBN and the CMB together, we will be able to constrain particle physics, and predict the primordial, light element abundances. These future analyses hinge on new experimental and observational data. New experimental data on nuclear cross sections will help reduce theoretical uncertainties in BBN's predictions. New observations of light element abundances will further sharpen BBN's probe of the baryon density. Observations from the MAP and PLANCK satellites will measure the fluctuations in the CMB to unprecedented accuracy, allowing the precise determination of the baryon density. When combined, this data will present us with the opportunity to perform precision cosmology.

description: Strongly squeezed light finds many important applications within the fields of quantum metrology, quantum communication and quantum computation. However, due to the bulkiness and complexity of most squeezed light sources of today, they are still not a standard tool in quantum optics labs. We have taken the first steps in realizing a compact, high-performance 1550 nm squeezing source based on commercially available fiber components combined with a free-space double-resonant parametric down-conversion source. The whole setup, including single-pass second-harmonic generation in a waveguide, fits on a small breadboard and produces 9.3 dB of squeezing at a 5 MHz sideband-frequency. The setup is currently limited by phase noise, but further optimization and development should allow for a 19" sized turn-key squeezing source capable of delivering more than 10 dB of squeezing.

description: We train artificial neural networks to predict the physical properties of linear, single branched, and double branched alkanes. These neural networks can be trained from fragmented data, which enables us to use physical property information as inputs and exploit property-property correlations to improve the quality of our predictions. We characterize every alkane uniquely using a set of five chemical descriptors. We establish correlations between branching and the boiling point, heat capacity, and vapor pressure as a function of temperature. We establish how the symmetry affects the melting point and identify erroneous data entries in the flash point of linear alkanes. Finally, we exploit the temperature and pressure dependence of shear viscosity and density in order to model the kinematic viscosity of linear alkanes. The accuracy of the neural network models compares favorably to the accuracy of several physico-chemical/thermodynamic methods.

description: How do consumers and farmers organize credence food transactions? This paper discusses this issue through the concept of Food Community Network (FCN). A FCN is defined as an organization where consumers and farmers integrate their goals organizing a network. FCN is based on pooling specific resources and using membership-based contracts, to assign decision and property rights. It implies an organization based on a combination of several democratic and communitarian elements, with few market-like and bureaucratic ones. Based on those concepts this paper proposes a research to analyse the FCN governance mechanisms. Real case studies collected through an internet-based investigation on Community Supported Agriculture in North America have been found. Applying (i) new institutional economics and (ii) organizational science arguments, the case studies were used to determine features that are useful to describe how FCN governance works. On one hand we used (i) new institutional economics based features such as pooling resources and contracting; (ii) on the other hand market-like, bureaucratic, communitarian and democratic elements represent the organizational science approach. The results indicate a great variety of FCN organizational forms emerging in North America.
