The article considers “female prose” as a phenomenon. Of particular interest is the work of the bright Russian writer Victoria Tokareva. Tokareva is interested in such moral categories as mental uneasiness, the need for self-expression, the fear of loneliness. These categories are never addressed by low-quality, purely entertaining writers, where the reader becomes an “imaginer” or “dreamer,” a passive consumer and observer. Whose work can be attributed to the galaxy of Lyudmila Petrushevskaya, Tatyana Tolstoy, Lyudmila Ulitskaya, etc.

The effects of climate change in the face of land reclamation among other anthropogenic activities are of great concern to aquatic genetic resources and biodiversity. This study was designed to assess the preliminary impact of the proposed Eko Atlantic City (EAC) project on the aquatic lives and/or biodiversity, and the level of development and challenges that have implications on climate change in Victoria Island and its environs in Lagos State, Nigeria. The selected areas such as Lamgbasa, Badore, Ajah and Victoria Island were evaluated using the snowball sampling approach, whereby 111 respondents were assessed. Results showed that land reclamation and construction activities had impacted on the aquatic lives and the primitive fishing occupation (5.5%). Respondents (44.4%) agreed that the on-going EAC had contributed to the development of Lagos State, however, negative impacts of climate change such as ocean surge, sea level rise, flooding among others were high but with low level of adaptive capacity agreement (41.7%). Furthermore, analysis showed varying degrees in the extent of severity of problems encountered from climate change effects such as rainfall, flooding, temperature, health issues among others. The study revealed that these communities were susceptible or vulnerable to the impacts of climate change such as coastal erosion, flooding, storm/ocean surge, sea level rise etc and importantly loss of non- renewable aquatic genetic resources. The government is hereby advised to have sound policies for adaptation and mitigation strategies to protect these non-renewable genetic resources and effect of climate change activities.
Les effets du changement climatique face à la mise en valeur des terres, entre autres activités anthropiques, sont très préoccupants pour les ressources génétiques aquatiques et la biodiversité. Cette étude a été conçue pour évaluer l'impact préliminaire du projet proposé Eko Atlantic City (EAC) sur la vie aquatique et / ou la biodiversité, ainsi que le niveau de développement et les défis qui ont des implications sur le changement climatique dans l'île Victoria et ses environs dans l'État de Lagos, Nigeria. Les zones sélectionnées telles que Lamgbasa, Badore, Ajah et Victoria Island ont été évaluées à l'aide de la méthode d'échantillonnage en boule de neige, qui a permis d'évaluer 111 répondants. Les résultats ont montré que la remise en état des terres et les activités de construction avaient eu un impact sur la vie aquatique et l'occupation de la pêche primitive (5.5%). Les répondants (44.4%) ont convenu que l'EAC en cours avait contribué au développement de l'État de Lagos, cependant, les impacts négatifs du changement climatique tels que la montée des océans, l'élévation du niveau de la mer, les inondations, entre autres, étaient élevés mais avec un faible niveau d'accord de capacité d'adaptation (41.7%). En outre, l'analyse a montré des degrés divers dans l'étendue de la gravité des problèmes liés aux effets du changement climatique tels que les précipitations, les inondations, la température, les problèmes de santé, entre autres. L'étude a révélé que ces communautés étaient sensibles ou vulnérables aux impacts du changement climatique tels que l'érosion côtière, les inondations, les tempêtes / ondes océaniques, l'élévation du niveau de la mer, etc. et surtout la perte de ressources génétiques aquatiques non renouvelables. Il est conseillé au gouvernement de se doter de politiques solides pour les stratégies d'adaptation et d'atténuation afin de protéger ces ressources génétiques non renouvelables et les effets des activités liées aux changements climatiques.

Full textAbstract:
Voltammetric studies of the interaction of yeast RNA (y-RNA) with Victoria Blue B (VBB) are described in this paper. Furthermore, a linear sweep voltammetric method for the detection of y-RNA was established. The reaction conditions, such as acidity and amount of buffer solution, the concentration of VBB, the reaction time and temperature, etc., were carefully investigated by second order derivative linear sweep voltammetry. Under the optimal conditions, the reduction peak current of VBB at -0.75V decreased greatly after the addition of y-RNA to the solution without any shift of the reduction peak potential. Based on the decrease of the peak current, a new quantitative method for the determination of y-RNA was developed. The effects of co-existing substances on the determination were carefully investigated and three synthetic samples were determined with satisfactory results. The stoichiometry of the VBB-y-RNA complex was calculated by linear sweep voltammetry and the interaction mechanism is discussed.

El artículo pregunta por la articulación esencial entre el arte de Victoria Poleva y Andrei Tarkovsky. En ambos artistas se da algo único en su mutua diferencia. Tanto en el sonido de Poleva como la imagen de Tarkovsky acontece en un cierto cuerpo y espacio de la inmanencia y la materialidad que nos abre a lo otro. Es una arquitectura del espacio (lo profano se vuelve sacro) y una escultura del tiempo (la eternidad en el instante). Creemos que en la materialidad sonora de Poleva podemos encontrar ese bellísimo trabajo del esculpir el tiempo tan propio del cineasta ruso. Poleva es la arquitecta y escultura del sonido y su sonido abre la realidad. Y nos posibilita a veces poder dar con un espacio tiempo propio para cada uno de nosotros. Por esto este artículo interroga por la materia y el espacio-tiempo como elementos fundamentales para dar con lo propio de este arte sacro minimalista contemporáneo. Y para esto nos servirán ciertas categorías fundamentales de filósofos contemporáneos; por ejemplo, de Nietzsche, Heidegger, Deleuze, etc. Con estos conceptos se podrá expresar el arte de nuestros artistas.Palabras Clave: Tarkovsky; Poleva; Deleuze; Zubiri; materia; sonido e imagen

SUMMARYDuring the rainy season of 1998, a field experiment was established in Cocula, Guerrero (hot subhumid climate, Awo) and in Montecillo, México (semiarid climate, BS1), to evaluate the effect of nitrogen (0, 10 and 20 g m-2) and environment on phenology, yield and its components, water use efficiency (WUE), and crop evapotranspiration (ETc) and heat units (HU) accumulated during the growth cycle of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) cv. Victoria. The crop was planted on June 1 at a density of 7.5 pl m-2 in both climates. In Cocula, maximum and minimum temperatures were more extreme and rainfall was more intense, while soil was poor in total nitrogen, compared with Montecillo. Crop growth, yield and its components, and water use efficiency were affected significantly by the environment, nitrogen and the interaction environment * nitrogen. The crop cycle in the hot environment was 36 days shorter, with a greater accumulation of HU and ETc. Yield and its components and water use efficiency were significantly higher in Cocula. Nitrogen positively affected the evaluated variables. The interactive effect of environment * nitrogen was observed clearly, since in Cocula there was response to the application of nitrogen in most of the variables evaluated, while in Montecillo there was not.

Resumen: la historia de la modernidad, como relato de la victoria de la racionalidad humana sobre toda forma de barbarie o superstición, no podría comprenderse adecuadamente sin un fenómeno un tanto paradójico que, antes que definir los estatutos del alma o de la res cogitans, encuentra su fundamento en una problematización de lo corporal. En este artículo examinaremos algunas analogías mecanicistas del cuerpo desde el punto de vista médico-terapéutico, como un sistema compuesto por articulaciones, engranes, flujos, circuitos, mecanismos, etc., con su propia lógica interna e independiente de las leyes del universo. Se esboza una discusión clave para la historia tanto de la fisiología como de la filosofía mecanicista que tiene como exponentes a William Harvey y a René Descartes, para examinar más a fondo algunos presupuestos metafísicos del francés que darán lugar al nacimiento del modelo político de las disciplinas, tal como es analizado por Michel Foucault.

Full textAbstract:
Microbial consortia in the sediments from a permanent wetland near Albury-Wodonga in north-eastern Victoria, Australia (Ryans 1 Billabong), and an ephemeral wetland near Shepparton in central Victoria (Raftery's Swamp) were quantified by analyses of phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA), polar lipid ether lipid (PLEL), sterol and alcohol profiles. Prokaryotic organisms dominated the benthic assemblages in both wetlands. Total prokaryotic abundance (i.e. eubacteria plus archaea) was estimated to be (7-17) × 109 cells g-1 sediment (dry weight). Methanogenic archaea were estimated to number (1-5.4) × 109 cells g-1 and to account for 11-36% of the total benthic prokaryotes; these values are apparently among the highest recorded for temperate lake or river environments. PLFAs indicative of specific metabolic groups (e.g. sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), methanotrophic bacteria, etc.) were also detected. The PLFA profiles indicated that Type I methanotrophs (abundant in C16 PLFAs) were more abundant than the Type II group, which contain C18 PLFAs. Acetate-utilizing SRB were more abundant than were lactate-utilizing SRB, but neither group was dominant. Ergosterol was not detected, which suggested that fungi were not a significant component of the benthic microbial consortia in spite of both wetlands having abundant inputs from aquatic and fringing vascular plants. Other biomarkers, such as sterols, long-chain alcohols, triterpenoids and phytol, demonstrated inputs from these higher plants. PLFA, PLEL and sterol profiles indicated that benthic microbial consortia were affected by hydrological regime, the presence of aquatic vegetation, and season. Information from this preliminary study may assist in the making of informed management decisions on environmental water allocations for natural ecosystems.

Full textAbstract:
The topic of residual subsidence is important in Europe as it defines possible surface deformation for closed mine areas. It has to be determined because of potential financial claims and damages of sensitive objects such as satellite dishes, precision mechanics objects, agriculture, forestry and hydrogeology, etc. Analyses of measured subsidence after the end of mining exploitation indicate that this process can last from several months to several dozen or even several hundred years, and the final surface subsidence is not known. It is dependent on the individual’s features of excavated medium, depth of exploitation, a system of exploitation, behaviour of surrounding rock masses, etc. In the article, the authors analysed the assessment of the subsidence process after the end of mining operations, based on the innovative method. This concerns the duration of the subsidence process and the size of the expected subsidence. The methodology was applied to the RAG Aktiengesellschaft company project where prognostic calculations were made for seven closed coal mines using unique results of precise height measurements carried out for more than 90 years by the German State Office for National Measurements (Landesvermessungsamt NRW) under the so-called levelling measurements net. These measurements are carried out every 2 years and serve to keep the altitude network in the whole state of Rhineland Westphalia up-to-date. The result of the prognosis for one case study, German mine Auguste-Victoria, is presented in the article.

Full textAbstract:
Raza, más allá de su valoración literaria, es un texto insólito por cuanto ningún jefe de estado o de gobierno en pleno ejercicio de su autoridad ha justificado su victoria por medio de una ficción donde, además, él mismo está visiblemente representado; menos aún que la novela sea algo provisional por estar destinada a convertirse en documento cinematográfico que, al tiempo, se ofrece como paradigma ejemplar en el contexto social de un estado autárquico. Este primerizo trabajo literario, entre sublimaciones argumentales e idealizaciones de personajes, establece, por medio de la ficción y con evidente huida de una realidad nociva para su honor, las líneas dramáticas de su «compromiso moral» según los conceptos de patria, nación, lealtad, etc., los cuales sustentan las bases de su personal ideograma vital. Lejos de formas literarias cercanas a la deshumanización del arte, como las generaciones de escritores coetáneos iban a establecer, el novelista se orienta hacia la expresión realista, si bien adornada con efectos de una retórica florida que aspira a funcionar como prosa de inspiración culterana.

La victoria electoral en algunos de los países andinos de proyectos políticos de izquierda transformadora, y de nuevos procesos constituyentes, especialmente en Venezuela, Bolivia y Ecuador, ha despertado una reacción entusiasta en los observadores progresistas. El discurso o fraseología revolucionaria y las transformaciones impulsadas (nacionalización de los sectores productivos estratégicos, reformulación de la división en los tres poderes clásicos del Estado, creación de nuevas formas de participación ciudadana, la garantía efectiva de los derechos económicos y sociales, la reconstrucción de la Constitución económica incluido el concepto de propiedad privada, etc.), han puesto sobre la mesa un debate que parecía cerrado desde la derrota de la Unidad Popular del Presidente Allende, el de la “transición pacífica al socialismo” o hacia un Estado y un Derecho nuevo.
El nuevo constitucionalismo latinoamericano está suponiendo un proceso de construcción del llamado socialismo del siglo XXI, y de un nuevo Estado y Derecho, que ahora son puestos en cuestión. Entonces, ¿nos encontramos ante una auténtica revolución de la que está emergiendo una nueva forma de Estado y de Derecho no liberal?, o bien, ¿estamos ante una simple evolución, ampliación y especificación de los derechos liberales y de un constitucionalismo liberal de tercera generación?

Full textAbstract:
This article investigates the evolving conceptions of national identity in Canada and Australia through an analysis of officially sanctioned history textbooks in Ontario, Canada and Victoria, Australia. From the 1930s until the 1950s, Britain and the British Empire served a pivotal role in history textbooks and curricula in both territories. Textbooks generally held that British and imperial history were crucial to the Canadian and Australian national identity. Following the Second World War, textbooks in both Ontario and Victoria began to recognize Britain’s loss of power, and how this changed Australian and Canadian participation in the British Empire/Commonwealth. But rather than advocate for a complete withdrawal from engagement with Britain, authors emphasized the continuing importance of the example of the British Empire and Commonwealth to world affairs. In fact, participation in the Commonwealth was often described as of even more importance as the Dominions could take a more prominent place in imperial affairs. By the 1960s, however, textbook authors in Ontario and Victoria began to change their narratives, de-emphasizing the importance of the British Empire to the Canadian and Australian identity. Crucially, by the late 1960s the new narratives Ontarians and Victorians constructed claimed that the British Empire and national identity were no longer significantly linked. An investigation into these narratives of history will provide a unique window into officially acceptable views on imperialism before and during the era of decolonization.

Full textAbstract:
Este trabajo estudia el empleo de la música en la manipulación del pasado histórico. En concreto, se estudia el uso político y simbólico del canto y la liturgia hispánicos por el franquismo para justificar el acceso a un poder adquirido de manera ilegítima. El sistema de propaganda del régimen franquista recurrió con frecuencia a la simbología imperial en las ceremonias de estado como una de sus principales representaciones de poder. La primera de estas ceremonias fue la celebración de la victoria en la Guerra Civil, que culminó en mayo de 1939 con una fastuosa acción de gracias en la que se empleó el ritual visigodo para la unción de reyes, un ritual cargado de simbolismo con el que se intenta mostrar a Franco como “rey ungido” y resaltar su continuidad con la monarquía histórica hispánica. En la ceremonia se empelaron símbolos, gestos y repertorio litúrgico-musical del ritual de coronación de los reyes visigodos. Este repertorio se tomó de manuscritos medievales cuyas melodías no se pueden transcribir debido a que su notación musical no indica la altura de los sonidos. Por ello, y tal y como sucedió con otras restauraciones coetáneas (espacios arquitectónicos, reliquias, tipografías, etc.), se recrearon varias melodías presuntamente visigodas para transmitir un mensaje de tradición y continuidad con la realeza histórica.

Full textAbstract:
Throughout Australia there has been a substantial interest in enviromental education for more than a decade. Much human and financial effort has gone into curriculum development at the school level and into support for implementation via inservice education, conferences, workshops, etc. Relatively little systematic evaluation of these efforts has been undertaken at the level of what students are learning.Most definitions of enviromental education internationally and in Australia emphasise the importance of affective learning concerning the environment alongside more usual cognitive knowledge and skills. Accordingly any evaluation should recognise this somewhat unusual balance among the intended learnings compared with most other subject areas.Recent research in several areas of school learning has brought out the importance of starting with an explicit recognition of the perceptions and understandings students already hold about topics. Teaching and learning of the topic then ought to be processes that enable the learners to generate or construct from these starting points, new understandings and perceptions. There has, however, been almost no research, apart from a comparative study by Schaeffer and his co-workers of West German and Phillippino secondary school students' associations with the word, ENVIRONMENT. (Schaeffer, 1979; Hernandez, 1981; Villavicencio, 1981). This paper reports an attempt in Victoria to begin to fill these gaps.

El sitio Cerro Grande de la isla Los Marinos se encuentra en el Departamento de Victoria, en la provincia de Entre Ríos, frente a la ciudad de Rosario, detrás de la cadena de islas (La invernada, Del Espinillo, Castellanos, etc.) que aquí forman la margen izquierda del río Paraná. El sitio fue excavado a mitad del siglo pasado, donde se recuperó una importante cantidad de restos humanos (Gaspary 1950, Kozameh 1993). Los materiales recuperados incluyen una abundante cantidad de cerámica lisa e incisa, incluyendo modelados zoomorfos, y una variada fauna vinculada con el ambiente fluvio-lacustre, característica del área durante el Holoceno tardío. En función de estos datos, y de la información relacionada con la estratigrafía del sitio (Gaspary 1950), se puede considerar que el depósito fue generado por grupos cazadores-recolectores durante el tramo final del Holoceno.Los estudios de las dietas prehispánicas basadas en los análisis de isótopos estables tienen cierto desarrollo en el extremo meridional del humedal del Paraná inferior, pero ciertamente se desconocen datos referentes al Delta Superior, donde se encuentra el sitio Cerro Grande (ver un resumen en Loponte 2008). Por ello se ha iniciado el estudio de la colección Gaspary, con el fin de extender la base de datos isotópicos que se dispone para presas y humanos del humedal del Paraná inferior. Este trabajo precisamente, constituye el primer avance al respecto.

Matthews, Thomas G. "Toward a Prototypical Model of Culture for Bible Translation." Journal of Translation 5, no. 1 (2009): 1–61. http://dx.doi.org/10.54395/jot-nxjwk.
Full textAbstract:
Bible translation is inherently a communication event originating in a historical language and culture. Recipients of translated Scriptures interpret this historical text through their language and cultural grid. They have cultural practices, material culture, beliefs, values, a worldview, image schemas, etc., that can assist or compromise their ability to properly understand the Bible. This work addresses the challenge to translators and translation consultants to more readily identify translation issues that are rooted in the target culture such that they may be further researched and treated as appropriate in the translation and helps. A prototypical model of culture is proposed to support these deliberations, which is comprised of a stratified network of observable cultural systems, beliefs, values, and deep structural components of worldview and image schemas. The cultural model is productively applied to a survey of translation issues rooted in the target cultures of several language teams in eastern Africa, and to three, in-depth analyses from Zinza and Digo Scriptures. The results suggest that Zinza prefer LINK and PATH image schemas over IN/OUT and FULL/EMPTY CONTAINER image schemas in metaphorical extensions such as “in Christ.” In addition, the Digo people’s limited knowledge of biblical construction practices, and the strong impact of the Lake Victoria ecosystem on Zinza culture, present translation challenges to the Digo New Testament and Zinza Genesis, respectively.

AbstractSunflower is a crop of world interest that is acquiring economic importance in Mexico. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) on the growth of the root system and its relationship with the canopy dry matter and yield and its components of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). The planting of cv. Victoria was conducted in Montecillo Mex., of temperate climate in a vertisol under conditions of seasonal rainfall on 16 May, with population density of 5 plants per m2. Treatments consisted in supply 0–200 kg ha−1 of N and P. The time to phenological stages was similar between treatment. The N and in minor degree the P increased grain yield (GY) and oil yield (OY) by increases in the grains number (GN), capitulum area (CA), canopy dry matter (CDM) and radical area (RA). In contrast, the P increase RDM but decrease the CDM/RDM relation. The effect of the interaction N * P on GY, OY indicates it is necessary to seek the best combination of N and P for increased the production of sunflower. The size grain and oil content in the grain did not change with N and P. The growth cycle was 122 days, with a seasonal ETc of 207 mm and 1,369°C d (Heat unit, HU).

The aging infrastructure and rising demand in the irrigation industry as a result of population growth have increased maintenance works in recent years. The most efficient asset maintenance practice is proactive. However, while a limited budget and an increase in aging infrastructure has made proactive asset maintenance challenging, customers still expect quality service, and contemporary challenges such as climate change and the competitive market further add to the existing pressure on asset owners. In this context, the present work has the primary objective of developing a novel, accurate, efficient and straightforward methodology for measuring assessment criteria weights and using them to prioritise assets for maintenance. For this aim, fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods are developed for the optimisation of asset maintenance prioritisation. Using objective and subjective data, the proposed method will be utilised to prioritise six irrigation channels in Northern Victoria, Australia, for maintenance. To verify the efficiency and accuracy of the developed MCDM method, the prioritised channels are validated by comparing against their existing physical condition. Results prove the ability of the proposed method in distinguishing and taking into account the differences between the channels (in terms of their size, physical condition, financial impacts, etc.) in prioritisation for maintenance. This study will also provide suggestions to improve the existing asset maintenance prioritisation methods in practice

In this article, I will analyze the role of music in the process of building peaceful relations between the Soviet Union and the Republic of Finland after the Second World War. The role of music as a weapon of “soft power” was an important alternative in Finnish-Soviet relations in order to enhance understanding between them and to avoid further conflict. I will analyze how the leading Soviet soloists were often first “tested” in Finland before their further outreach to the West from 1944 to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Because of its position as a neutral country between the East and the West Finland was seen as a safe experimental location in which to evaluate the performers’ loyalties to the Soviet regime. However, violinist Victoria Mullova’s 1983 defection to the West via Finland showed that the Soviet power was not so overpowering any more, even towards its own citizens. The Soviet Union was already heading for a collapse due to political and economic realities. Its diminishing cultural influence on the West undermined its power, and accelerated its demise. Using primary source materials and newspapers mainly from the Finnish National Archives and Sibelius Museum as well as the former Soviet archives in Moscow, I will examine the ways in which Soviet government cooperated with Finnish non-governmental organizations such as the Finland-Soviet Union Friendship Society, the main coordinating body of Finnish-Soviet relations, Finnish concert firms etc.

In recent years, there has been an increasing awareness of transgender culture, issues, and experiences. In popular culture, trans celebrities such as Laverne Cox, Chaz Bono, and Janet Mock have been a part of this shift, often acting as celebrity spokespeople to increase understanding of trans issues. Even with the greater visibility of trans lives in popular culture, ongoing court battles like G.G. v. Gloucester County School Board (a US case centered on trans students’ rights to use communal bathrooms congruent with their gender) demonstrate the need for greater understanding and acceptance.As co-authors, we have had the privilege of working with materials on loan from the Transgender Archives at the University of Victoria (Canada), the largest transgender archive in the world. This experience, which included collecting comments from library patrons who viewed the collection materials, highlighted for us the role that libraries and archives play in laying the groundwork for increased diversity, awareness, and inclusion related to trans lives, culture, and community. It is not only a matter of meeting the information needs of those who are coming out as transgender, but the wider community of family (spouses, children, parents, etc.), friends, and allies. And, alongside the value of providing information with direct practical application, patrons’ comments underscored how the inclusion of trans resources at the library enriches our cultural imaginary, and creates the space for imagining and living what they have sometimes felt to be “impossible lives.”

Full textAbstract:
In Victorian Britain, the consolidation of capitalism and the absence of bureaucracy had a huge and unsettling impact on politics and culture. This paper argues that the Victorian novelist, like the public moralist, provided a solution to this crisis by forming a construction of the individual as a rational and emotional citizen and of a state adequately representing this citizen. The study’s objective is to examine the details of this construction in Phineas Finn (1869), a novel by Anthony Trollope (1815–1882); it identifies, analyzes and interprets the discourses of subject formation, politics, and character. The method used draws on the work of Paul de Man and is inductive, descriptive and rhetorical.

Full textAbstract:
The valuation of the company's equity is one of the main tasks in the framework of the valuation of the company, as well as one of the main sections of corporate finance. The most used method of assessing the return on equity is the CAPM model, but this article analyzes the four-factor Fama-French model- Karcher due to its novelty and, as a consequence, fewer studies. The author analyzes the impact of the company's life cycle on the return on equity using an econometric analysis of 5 clusters of 3,113 public American companies (data for 1989-2019) classified according to the criterion of the stage of the life cycle. The relevance of the study lies in the absence of an unambiguous answer, confirming or refuting the existence of a link between the cost of equity and the stage of the life cycle. The classification is based on an article by Victoria Dickinson, Professor at the University of Mississippi, "Cash flows as an indicator of the stage of the company's life cycle." According to the results, the stage of the life cycle affects the cost of own capital, β the coefficient decreases during the first three stages (formation, growth, maturity), then continues to grow (shake-up, recession). The minimum value falls on the maturity stage, it can be assumed that this stage of the life cycle is the most reliable for stakeholders. This article can be useful to all persons evaluating business (investors, appraisers, etc.), as well as for the further development of this theoretical aspect.

All of them belong to the group of early-maturing and mid-early (55-70 days): 216 (Dacha × 128-6), 239-1, 239-2, 239-3 (Ladoga × Rosalind), 233, 233-2 (Slavyanka × Rosalind), 237, 237-1 (Severny × Dubrava), 232 (Aurora × Bonus), 234 (Scarlet Sail × Victoria). The evaluation showed that the studied hybrids correspond to the variety model according to economically valuable characteristics: they have a high yield, good biochemical indicators, the appearance of the tubers meets the requirements of consumers (small surface eyes, medium-deep stolon trace), high shelf life during storage, the tasting score of the tubers is 4.0 points. The studied samples of hybrids had a yield of 26.0-42.0 t / ha, a marketability of 92-97%, which makes them economically valuable. The samples differed in the content of dry matter (18.4–22.1 %) and starch (9.5–13.4 %). The content of nitrates in the tubers did not exceed the permissible concentration. The studied samples are resistant to the most common diseases of the zone: viral (common mosaic, twisting of leaves, curly hair, wrinkled mosaic, etc.), macrosporiosis,rhizoctoniosis, scab. According to the results of the conducted studies, potato hybrids 232 (Aurora × Bonus), 233 (Slavyanka × Rosalind) and 239-2 (Ladoga x Razolind) were selected for further study and transferred to the resistance to the causative agent of cancer and nematodes.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: To determine the population-based utilization rate of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in Victoria between 1998–1999, to examine the characteristics of the ECT treated group, and to identify patient factors independently associated with differential rates of ECT treatment. Method: Electroconvulsive therapy is reported under statute in Victoria, Australia. Crude, age-adjusted and age–sex specific utilization rates were calculated using this statutory data for the 1998–1999 financial year and estimated mid-year populations from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Descriptive characteristics of those treated with ECT were derived from the statutory data. Patient factors associated with an increased likelihood of ECT in the public sector were explored with logistic regression analysis, using non-ECT treated mental health patients from the Victorian Psychiatric Case Register as the reference population. Results: The crude treated-person and age-adjusted rates for the State (both public and private sectors) were 39.9 and 44.0 persons per 100 000 resident population per annum, respectively. The crude and age-adjusted administration rates were 330.3 and 362.6 ECT administrations per 100 000 resident population per annum, respectively. Age–sex specific rates varied by age and sex, with rates generally increasing with age and female sex. Overall, 62.8% of the treated group were women, 32.9% aged over 64, and 75.2% had depression. Diagnosis, age and sex each independently predicted ECT in the public sector, with diagnosis the most important factor, followed by age then sex. Conclusions: Despite decades of use, the appropriate rate of ECT utilization is still unclear. Further research should be directed at exploring the factors, including provider variables, determining ECT treatment.

Full textAbstract:
Objective The aim of the present study was to audit the current use of medical records to determine completeness and concordance with other sources of medical information. Methods Medical records for 40 patients from each of five Melbourne major metropolitan hospitals were randomly selected (n=200). A quantitative audit was performed for detailed patient information and medical record keeping, as well as data collection, storage and utilisation. Using each hospital’s current online clinical database, scanned files and paperwork available for each patient audited, the reviewers sourced as much relevant information as possible within a 30-min time allocation from both the record and the discharge summary. Results Of all medical records audited, 82% contained medical and surgical history, allergy information and patient demographics. All audited discharge summaries lacked at least one of the following: demographics, medication allergies, medical and surgical history, medications and adverse drug event information. Only 49% of records audited showed evidence the discharge summary was sent outside the institution. Conclusions The quality of medical data captured and information management is variable across hospitals. It is recommended that medical history documentation guidelines and standardised discharge summaries be implemented in Australian healthcare services. What is known about this topic? Australia has a complex health system, the government has approved funding to develop a universal online electronic medical record system and is currently trialling this in an opt-out style in the Napean Blue Mountains (NSW) and in Northern Queensland. The system was originally named the personally controlled electronic health record but has since been changed to MyHealth Record (2016). In Victoria, there exists a wide range of electronic health records used to varying degrees, with some hospitals still relying on paper-based records and many using scanned medical records. This causes inefficiencies in the recall of patient information and can potentially lead to incidences of adverse drug events. What does this paper add? This paper supports the concept of a shared medical record system using 200 audited patient records across five Victorian metropolitan hospitals, comparing the current information systems in place for healthcare practitioners to retrieve data. This research identifies the degree of concordance between these sources of information and in doing so, areas for improvement. What are the implications for practitioners? Implications of this research are the improvements in the quality, storage and accessibility of medical data in Australian healthcare systems. This is a relevant issue in the current Australian environment where no guidelines exist across the board in medical history documentation or in the distribution of discharge summaries to other healthcare providers (general practitioners, etc).

We are certainly trying our hardest to develop transdisciplinary perspectives also in pre-modern studies. Of course, most of us are not trained enough to draw from pharmacy, mathematics, astronomy, etc., in order to understand medieval literature, for instance. But pharmacists, for instance, also would not have a real training in reading and analyzing fictional texts. The challenge remains huge, and yet it is highly attractive and appealing for us. The contributors to the present volume try to take us one step further by investigating to what extent the latest research on human cognition could be utilized to understand various medieval phenomena. The target audience are medieval scholars, but in most cases, the authors try their hand in neurosciences, which creates a bit of challenges because true transdisciplinarity would require closer collaboration of at least two scholars from different fields. We also would have to raise the question why cognitive science would be the particularly appropriate research area to build bridges to medieval religion/mysticism or literature. But there is no disagreement, I think, that the study of the human being in the historical and cultural context can be enriched with insights from modern science areas. The problem arises, however, with the fact that we have only very indirect access to people, their mind, and their creative works from the pre-modern era.

Detailed mapping based on the high-resolution grids, such as GEBCO, ETOPO1, GlobSed, EGM-2008 is crucial for various domains of Earth sciences: geophysics, glaciology, Quaternary, sedimentology, geology, environmental science, geomorphology, etc. The study presented a GMT-based scripting techniques of the cartographic data processing aimed at the comparative analysis of the bathymetry, sediment thickness, geologic objects and geophysical settings in the study area based on various datasets. The study area is located in the Ross Sea, Antarctic. The highest values of the sediment thickness over 7,500 m are dominating in the southwest segment of the Ross Sea closer to the Victoria Land, followed by the region over the Ross Ice Shelf with values between 5,500 to 7,000 m (170°-175°W). The increased sediment thickness (2,500 to 3,000 m) was also mapped seen in the region NE off the Sulzberger Bay (70-75°S to 140-155°W), caused by the closeness of the Marie Bird Land ice coasts. A remarkable correlation between the gravity and the topography of the sea-land border in the Marie Bird Land area is well reflected in the coastal line and a set of the higher values in the free-air gravity. On the contrary, negative values (–60 to -80 mGal) are notable along the submarine toughs stretching parallel in the western part of the basin: e.g. the trough stretching in NW-SE direction in the 170°W-175°E, 65°S-68°S, between the 167°W-175°W, 70°S-72°S. Such correlations are clearly visible on the map, indicating geological lineaments and bathymetric depressions correlating with gravity grids. The paper contributes to the regional studies of the Ross Sea, the Antarctic and Polar region, and development of the cartographic technical methodologies by presenting an application of the GMT for thematic mapping.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease state characterized by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible. COPD is the umbrella term used to include three different respiratory conditions defined clinically as chronic bronchitis and pathologically as Emphysema and it also includes small airway disease. COPD patients mostly present with the features of acute respiratory infectionsbut there may be a number of metabolic derangements arising out of the disease process or as a consequence of the therapy instituted like hyponatremia, hypokalemia, elevated liver enzymes and blood urea. These abnormalities are very often missed and may contribute to morbidity and mortality, if overlooked. Objectives: To study the levels of hypoxemia and serum electrolytes like sodium and potassium in cases of acute exacerbation of COPD and to assess the significance of dyselectrolytemia, as a prognostic marker in these patients. Materials and methods: The study was undertaken from November 2014 to October 2016 among the patients attending, Victoria hospital and Bowring and Lady Curzon hospital attached to Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute, with acute exacerbation of COPD diagnosed clinically and by the pulmonary function tests. 50 patients with acute exacerbation of COPD and 50 disease free healthy controls were included in the study. The Statistical software SAS 9.2, SPSS 15.0, were used for the analysis of the data and Microsoft word and excel have been used to generate graphs, tables etc. Conclusion: Electrolyte abnormalities are most commonly seen in patients with COPD with acute exacerbation and carry very poor prognosis in this group of patients. Thus, overlooking of coexistant metabolic abnormalities may contribute to a great deal of mortality and morbidity in COPD patients during their acute exacerbation episodes.

En Antarctique, région de McMurdo, vallée de Victoria, des dépôts nivéo-éoliens, faits de lits alternants de neige et de sable entraînés par le vent, épais de 0 à 2 m, sont pérennes. Conjointement aux glaciers à sable inclus, ils sont peut-être apparentés aux dépôts stratifiés découverts par Mariner 9 dans la région polaire sud de la planète Mars. À Poste-de-la-Baleine, 55°17' Nord, 77°46' Ouest, les dépôts nivéo-éoliens sont annuels, toute la neige fondant chaque été. Ils contribuent à engraisser la première plage soulevée sableuse et certaines dunes. Sur le pied de glace, ils forment 1, 2 ou 3 remparts littoraux éphémères ; le plus haut est le plus proche du rivage. Sur la neige fraîche se forment des rides mixtes de sable et neige, dont le dessin ressemble à celui de champs de dunes vus d'avion (traverse, réticulé, lobé … etc.) et est beaucoup plus photogénique que celui des rides de neige sur neige ou de sable sur sable. Suivant la proportion relative de neige et de sable, l'albedo peut prendre toutes les valeurs entre celles de la neige pure et du sable pur : ainsi pourraient peut-être s'expliquer une partie des variations d'albedo, en fonction du temps, observées à la surface de Mars. Les formes de dénivation sont des cônes pointus, des mamelons doux dont la surface est craquelée typiquement, des boulettes de sable, des bourrelets de sable (micromoraines de dénivation) et des réseaux de sable. Sous les surplombs de la glace impure qui forme la base du nivéo-éolien sur l'estran, des gouttelettes tombent ; elles forment, si elles sont d'eau pure, des microcratères d'impact ; si elles sont de sable humide, des pastilles de sable ; dans les cas intermédiaires, des stalagmites de sable.

The present article analyses Walter Pater’s novel Marius the Epicurean (1885), focusing particularly on the nexus between the story’s setting in Ancient Rome and its treatment of religion. Even though the abrupt ending of Marius’s Bildung suggests that Pater had not yet succeeded in reconciling his aesthetic philosophy with a religious life in community, the novel encourages its readers to adopt an eclectic religious consciousness. By examining Pater’s references to Lucretius’s De Rerum Natura, the article investigates how Pater used the Roman poet to reinforce this message, and to react against the materialism of post-Darwinian Britain. Moreover, it shows how Marius the Epicurean incorporates and subverts some of the motifs that can be found in popular Victorian novels set in Rome.

Uno no puede –o no debe– dar la espalda al tiempo en el que vive. Y nuestra época es, desgraciadamente, víctima de una enfermedad, el SIDA, que no cesa de causar brutales estragos en nuestro entorno, estragos tanto más dolorosos cuanto que afectan a hombres y mujeres llenos de vitalidad, de fuerza, de juventud. El SIDA, en muchos casos encarnación real de la metafórica unión de Eros y Thanatos –como dice Pascal de Duve–, es el gran escándalo de este fin de siglo y de milenio, y ha marcado con su sello no sólo los cuerpos de tantos y tantos jóvenes sino también la producción cultural de nuestra época: las artes plásticas, la escritura, la cinematografía, la publicidad, etc.Este libro reúne una serie de trabajos en los que se analiza, desde perspectivas distintas (estética, literaria, sociológica, lingüística, etc.) las relaciones que en los últimos decenios se han ido estableciendo entre el SIDA y la cultura contemporánea. El tema es tan extraordinariamente amplio que no se han podido abarcar todos sus aspectos, pero el lector interesado y preocupado por este tema hallará aquí variadas reflexiones sobre los discursos terapéuticos, culturales y publicitarios del SIDA, así como numerosos análisis de las interacciones que se establecen entre el arte y la experiencia de la enfermedad. Todos estos trabajos ponen de manifiesto que el SIDA es actualmente en nuestra cultura un lugar excepcional de significación, un nudo de metáforas a través de las cuales se proyecta, como consecuencia de la enfermedad, una visión diferente de la vida, de la muerte y del arte. Se verá aquí que el SIDA es, en muchos casos, el detonante que configura la especificidad de la obra de arte, el tipo de escritura, las imágenes y las metáforas que la sustentan, en una lucha contra una muerte inevitable en la que el artista descubre frecuentemente la victoria del arte y de la conciencia.

AbstractThe contribution that may come from the general science of signs, semiotics, to the planning and development of education and learning at all levels, from early schooling through to university education and learning should not be neglected. As Umberto Eco claims in the “Introduction” to the Italian edition of his book Semiotica and Philosophy of Language (1984: xii, my trans.), “[general semiotics] is Semiotica e filosofia del linguaggio. Turin: Einaudi; in nature, because it does not study a particular system, but posits the general categories in light of which different systems can be compared. And for general semiotics philosophical discourse is neither advisable nor urgent: it is simply constitutive.” To the title of their book Semiotic Theory of Learning, at the centre of our attention in the present text, Andrew Stables, Winfried Nöth, Alin Olteanu, Sébastien Pesce, and Eetu Pikkarainen, rightly add the subtitle New Perspectives in the Philosophy of Education. This multivoiced contribution to research in learning and education in a semiotic framework has a unifying reference in the semiotics of Charles S. Peirce, but without disregarding an array of other distinguished exponents of the teaching and education sciences from different disciplines, semioticians and philosophers alike. This book, a polyphonic effort, with its appeal to “act otherwise,” and to do so investing in learning and education, no doubt makes a significant contribution in such a direction: education for transformation, for humanizing social change. Beyond evidencing what to us are particularly interesting aspects of the topics under discussion in Semiotic Theory of Learning, we also propose to continue and amplify this multivoiced dialogue. While highlighting still other aspects and contributions made by the same semioticians and philosophers presented by the authors of this book, involving such figures as Charles Peirce, Charles Morris, Thomas Sebeok, John Deely, etc., we have further introduced other voices made to resound throughout, whether directly or indirectly, like that of Victoria Welby, Mikhail Bakhtin, Emmanuel Levinas, Adam Schaff, Ferruccio Rossi-Landi, Marcel Danesi, Augusto Ponzio, and Genevieve Vaughan.

Full textAbstract:
Satellite based rainfall estimation techniques have emerged as a potential alternative to ground based rainfall measurements. The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation, in particular, has been used in various climate and hydrology based studies around the world. While having wide possibilities, TRMM rainfall estimates are found to be inconsistent with the ground based rainfall measurements at various locations such as the southwest coast and Himalayan region of India, northeast parts of USA, Lake Victoria in Africa, La Plata basin in South America, etc. In this study, the applicability of TRMM estimates is evaluated over the Upper Ganga Basin (Himalayan catchment) by comparing against gauge-based India Meteorological Department (IMD) gridded precipitation records. Apart from temporal evaluation, the ability of TRMM in capturing spatial distribution is also examined using three statistical parameters namely correlation coefficient (r), mean absolute error (MAE) and relative bias (RBIAS). In the results, the dual nature of bias is evident in TRMM precipitation with rainfall magnitude falling in the range from 100 to 370 mm representing positive bias, whereas, rainfall magnitude above 400 mm, approximately, representing negative bias. The Quantile Mapping (QM) approach has been used to correct the TRMM dataset from these biases. The raw TRMM precipitation is found to be fairly correlated with IMD rainfall for post-monsoon and winter season with R2 values of 0.65 and 0.57, respectively. The R2 value of 0.41 is obtained for the monsoon season, whereas least correlation is found for the pre-monsoon season with an R2 value of 0.24. Moreover, spatial distribution of rainfall during post-monsoon and winter season is captured adequately; however, the limited efficiency of TRMM is reflected for pre-monsoon and monsoon season. Bias correction has satisfactorily enhanced the spatial distribution of rainfall obtained from TRMM for almost all the seasons except for monsoon. Overall, the corrected TRMM precipitation dataset can be used for various climate analyses and hydrological water balance based studies in the Himalayan river basins.

Assessment of the prospects of introduced and created varieties of Lavandula angustifolia L. in the conditions of the Southern Steppe in terms of yield and essential oil content in raw materials, as well as the influence of the weather conditions of the year on these economically valuable traits is given. The study included 11 samples of Lavandula angustifolia L. Ecological and phenological observations were carried out for the studied plants. During the period of mass flowering of plants, the crop was recorded. The mass fraction of the essential oil was determined by the Ginsberg method on the Clevenger apparatus. The main results of the multi-year research work on the assessment of collection samples for economic and valuable characteristics of Lavandula angustifolia depending on weather conditions are highlighted. On the basis of the State Enterprise «Experimental Farming “Novokakhov”» of the Institute of ClimateOriented Agriculture of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, collection plots of narrow-leaved lavender samples were established for introductory study and testing in the conditions of the Southern Steppe. For 20 years in this region, Lavandula angustifolia underwent multi-vector study as an ornamental and essential oil crop.During this period, new variety samples and varieties adapted to local conditions were created, which have increased decorative indicators, as well as high yield and mass share of essential oil in raw materials. In particular, Lydia, Victoria and Sinieva Nadiyi varieties, with the following characteristics: plant height, cm — 65, 60.0 and 60.0, respectively; inflorescence length, cm — 8.0, 5.0 and 13.0; number of inflorescences on a plant, pcs. — 95, 230 and 200; number of flowers in an inflorescence, pcs. — 80, 49 and 90; essential oil content, % — 3.0, 3.8 and 3.25; collection of essential oil, kg/ha — 64.0, 83.0 and 71.0; content of linalyl acetate in essential oil, % — 48.0, 34.2 and 20.1; duration of the flowering period, days — 30; inflorescence yield, t/ha — 0.53, 0.55 and 0.55; frost resistance, score (1–9) — 9; resistance against pests, score (1–9): ant (Lasiusnsger) — 9; causative agents of diseases, score (1–9) — 9 — not detected (village Lidia), sora rot — 9 (village Victoria) and not detected (village Sinieva Nadiyi); zoning area — steppe. The period 2016–2021 is of particular interest, considering the study of the adaptability of culture. The weather conditions in the mentioned years differed among themselves in terms of temperature, amount of precipitation and their distribution, etc. Such conditions made it possible to assess comprehensively the influence of the weather conditions on the manifestation of economic and valuable characteristics of collections of lavender samples in this region, including newly created varieties of this valuable culture. Observations revealed deviations in the passage of phenological phases and the accumulation of essential oil. The minimum yields and essential oil content of all samples occurred in 2016, which is associated with a sharp drop in temperature and freezing of plant shoots. The maximum yield of raw materials was recorded in 2020, which is associated with the optimal amount of precipitation in the phase of growth and budding. The maximum indicators of the mass fraction of essential oil in raw materials were recorded in 2018, which is associated with high average daily temperatures and the absence of precipitation and dry weather during flowering. The results of the long-term evaluation of the samples of narrow-leaved lavender L. angustifolia based on the main economic and valuable characteristics indicate the prospects of industrial cultivation of the crop in the conditions of the Southern Steppe, and also convincingly prove the presence of genetic material of domestic origin adapted to the conditions of the region.
