Zeller, Suzanne. "The Spirit of Bacon: Science and Self-Perception in the Hudson's Bay Company, 1830-1870." Scientia Canadensis 13, no. 2 (July 6, 2009): 79–101. http://dx.doi.org/10.7202/800287ar.
Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT This article considers in terms of its larger historical context the participation by officers of the Hudson's Bay Company in the social networks of Victorian science, mainly in the collection of specimens of natural history in the vast northwestern territories of North America. While such specimens were solicited by outsiders from British and American scientific institutions, a common cultural heritage gave meaning and value to the cooperative efforts of both scientists and collectors. A sketch of this heritage, in which the writings of Sir Francis Bacon, the voyages of Captain James Cook, the example of Alexander von Humboldt, the scholarship of the Scottish Enlightenment and other factors were alloyed to form the matrix of Victorian scientific activity, forms the focus of the discussion of both the Company's policies and individual initiatives.

AbstractNotwithstanding Francis Bacon's praise for the philosophical role of the mechanical arts, historians have often downplayed Bacon's connections with actual artisans and entrepreneurs. Addressing the specific context of mining culture, this study proposes a rather different picture. The analysis of a famous mining metaphor in The Advancement of Learning shows us how Bacon's project of reform of knowledge could find an apt correspondence in civic and entrepreneurial values of his time. Also, Bacon had interesting and so far unexplored links with the early modern English mining enterprises, like the Company of Mineral and Battery Works, of which he was a shareholder. Moreover, Bacon's notes in a private notebook, Commentarius Solutus, and records of patents of invention, allow us to start grasping Bacon's connections with the metallurgist and entrepreneur Thomas Russell. Lastly, this paper argues that, to fully understand Bacon's links with the world of Stuart technicians and entrepreneurs, it is necessary to consider a different and insufficiently studied aspect of Bacon's interests, namely his work as patents referee while a Commissioner of Suits.

Full textAbstract:
Livestock breeding has a number of technological features. They are related to the specific properties of the object of cultivation – animals. In order to obtain high-quality animals, high-quality products must take into account their genetic features. For example, in pigs, the quality of meat, fat, smoked pork determines the breed of animals, their sex, age and the direction of cultivation. Therefore, the study of the impact of sex and genotype on the productivity of pigs is relevant and practically valuable. There are many literature on the quality of pork animals of various breeds: Landrace, Durok, Great White and others. Scientists note that the best bacon and meat qualities are pigs of pores Landrace. However, scientific literature knows little about the way the sex and origin of animals affect the quality of meat and bacon in these pigs. Therefore, the purpose of our research was to study the slaughter, the qualities of bacon, the physico-chemical indicators of meat and fat females and castrated male species of landraces of two lines List and Brom. During the experiment, zootechnical, statistical, biometric, biochemical methods of research were used. Scientific research was carried out in the complex of fattening and slaughter of the shop of a private enterprise. During the experiment, it was found that the mass of pigs after slaughter, the mass of carcasses and the yield of carcasses of females and castrated males of both lines did not differ. However, the visceral fat content was higher in women by 1.24–8.98% than in men. The properties of the pigs of both sexes were the same. However, in the male line of Brom, the width of the rear half of the carcass was 15% higher than that of women. The assessment of the quality of meat showed that females on both lines dominated by males for the content of fat, marble and calories. It has been experimentally established that the quality parameters of adipose tissue of Landrace have sex differences in the lines List and Brom. It was established that the water content in adipose tissue in women was lower in comparison with men by 0.5–2.35%, the fat was higher than 0.37–3.25%, the iodine number was 3.43–3.68 units. Our research can be recommended to companies that specialize in pig breeding. If a company breeds animals for processing into bacon or smoked, it is advisable to grow a breed from the Brom line. In this case, the best ham can be obtained from castrated males, and juicy, tender meat and more fatty tissue – in females.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe manufacturing sector of the 1920s Irish Free State was substantially more complex in structure than occasional references to a ‘beer and biscuits’ economy suggest. There were nine factories employing 500 workers or more in 1929, while the larger firms in sectors such as bacon curing, flour milling and fertilisers each operated more than a single factory. This article identifies the largest manufacturing firms and establishments of the era, as well as the largest within each industrial sector. Twenty-two firms had workforces of a minimum of around 400. Three of the five largest were foreign subsidiaries, the most significant of which – the Ford Motor Company – employed, at one stage, more than twice as many workers as Guinness. Of the larger indigenous companies, the majority were Protestant-owned, though Catholic-owned firms dominated in certain industrial segments.

Full textAbstract:
Before the extensive use of anaesthesia, great surgeons were measured by how little pain could be caused to patients in the shortest possible time. Simple operations, such as the extraction of rotting teeth, were terrible nightmares to patients. Some people compared surgery to the Spanish inquisition and there are many accounts in the literature of yells, screams, panicking, and resistance in the operating room. Because of this, before anaesthesia, surgery was mainly restricted to amputations and external growth removals and little advancements could be made over hundreds of years.
Five men make the claim to have conquered the horror of surgery in the operating room by discovering ether as an anaesthetic agent: William T.G. Morton, Charles T. Jackson, Crawford W. Long, Horace Wells, and William Clarke. However, only William T.G. Morton is credited with discovering ether as an anaesthetic agent. Mr. Morton publicly used ether during the excision of a tumour from a patient’s neck on October 16, 1846 at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
But William T.G. Morton was not the saint that he portrayed himself to be. There is no doubt that he made the first public discovery of anaesthesia but there is doubt as to whether it was because of his great knowledge and research in the field, or because he took advantage of an opportunity to display this borrowed method to the public.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this expositional paper was to analyze the Francis Bacon Prose Style as literary genre with reference to his essays (“Of Studies” Of Revenge” and “Of Marriage and Single Life”) Bacon’s essays have a certain unique characteristic which make us question the classification of essay. Literary review through expositional form of writing for presenting opinions based on facts from his essays was considered as a method for analyzing literary essays. The finding of this paper through analyzing his three major essays (“Of Studies” Of Revenge” and “Of Marriage and Single Life) revealed, Bacon has used various features which can be termed as: Aphoristic, Paradox, Rhetorical Device, Imagery, Analogy, and allusion for being impersonal trough saving his own personality. Bacon’s works are classified as essays for having the artistic value of Beauty and moral. Francis Bacon has distinctive features that fame his works through the ages. Bacon’s style is compact yet polished and indeed some of its conciseness is due to the skillful adaptation of Latin idiom and phrase. His sentences are pregnant and have the capability of expending into paragraph. He had a great and impressive mastery over the art of saying maximum into minimum words.

Full textAbstract:
In our article ‘Neglected evidence about the actor Michel Baron (1653–1729)’, which appeared in Theatre Research International, 18, 3 (1993), 173–76, we quoted a letter from Madame to Baron Von Hading (foot of p. 174). Madame refers to the actress Mlle Desmares, a prominent member of the French company in the early eighteenth century. The first part of the quotation was as follows:He did not think of it after the death of the king, but la Desmares [an actress of the Comédie-Française], perceiving that no one was going to see them any more, came to the conclusion that they would fare better if Baron were back in the company, and she persuaded him.The king died in 1715, and the incident described occurred in, or shortly before, 1720.After the proofs were corrected and returned, an error crept in which dismayed us greatly. Our parenthesis, ‘an actress of the Comedie-Française’ was replaced by another: ‘better known as la Champmesle’. We did not sanction this amendment, and it is wrong. So much so, in fact, that it looks like carelessness and ignorance on our part, the apprehension of which may tell against acceptance of our findings and objective critical appreciation of our conclusions. We are therefore most grateful to the Editor for allowing us to insert this correction, which we believe to be important.The actress known as La Champmeslé, Marie Desmares, died in 1698. She was the wife of the actor Champmeslé, whose name she took, and she was probably the greatest actress of her generation; she was also the celebrated mistress of Racine.

AbstractFerdinand von Wrangell (1796–1870) was one of the most successful explorers of the Russian Arctic. After participating in V.M. Golovnin's circumnavigation in 1817–19, he was appointed the commander of the Kolyma group of the northeast Siberian expedition of 1820–24. Wrangell later became a hugely significant figure in the Russian Empire, serving as governor-general in Alaska, director of the Russian-American Company, and the head of the hydrographic department of the Russian Admiralty, before being made a baron and promoted to admiral. Later still he was the minister of the naval department and a member of the State Council, during which time he continued to support geographical and scientific exploration.

Full textAbstract:
Baron and Ngobaran Underground Rivers are two sources of water on the southern coast of Gunungkidul Regency, Indonesia. A state-owned water utility company (PDAM) is currently distributing raw water for drinking from these underground rivers to Tanjungsari, Saptosari, Paliyan, Panggang, and Purwosari. In addition to quantity, processing raw water for this purpose needs to consider water quality. Therefore, this study was designed to assess the quality of raw water along the PDAM service lines, starting from a common source through pipelines and, finally, to connected customer property lines, and to analyze its Water Quality Index (WQI). During the field survey, the water quality was measured directly at several points selected by the purposive sampling method and indirectly in the laboratory. These measurements observed physical (temperature and TDS), chemical (pH, NO3-, Cl-, CaCO3, Fe total, Pb), and biological properties (total coliform) and compared them with the requirements for drinking water quality published in the Regulation of the Minister of Health No. 492/MENKES/PER/IV/2010. The results showed that except for total coliform, all water quality parameters of Baron and Ngobaran Underground Rivers met the standards. Also, the detected water quality from the sources to customers’ taps formed a spatial variation. Based on the WQI analysis results, excessively high total coliform levels on all samples made the raw water biologically unsuitable for direct consumption. Therefore, boiling before use is highly suggested as it can remove coliform bacteria in the water.

The current study aims at testing the effect of ‘Financial Flexibility’ (FF) on the market value-added by the firm size as a mediator variable. This study’s statistic sample consists of 26 companies listed on the Amman stock exchange from 2010 to 2019. The FF and market value-added are independent and dependent variables, respectively. The data analysis was done by the Baron - Kenny methodology (1986) and Sobel-Test to analyze the hypothesizes based on the corporate size’s mediation effect role. The results concluded from the study of the effect of the company size on the relationship between FF and market value-added stated that the FF has a positive statistically significant impact, and there a partial mediation of the firm size effect upon this relationship due to the mediation effect is statistically significant based on Sobel test.

Full textAbstract:
The apomictic breeding behavior of Poa pratensis L. provides an opportunity to study many unique genotypes that can vary dramatically in characteristics such as disease resistance, stress tolerance and growth habit. The classification of Kentucky bluegrass into types is based on common growth and stress performance characteristics gathered from field turf trials. These classification types include the Compact, Bellevue, Mid-Atlantic, BVMG (`Baron, `Victa', `Merit', and `Gnome'), Common, and Aggressive types. A spaced-plant nursery trial was established in May 1996 to quantify morphological and growth characteristics of 45 cultivars and selections representing the major types of Kentucky bluegrass. Plant height, panicle height, flag leaf height and length, subtending leaf length and width, rhizome spread, and longest extending rhizome were measured 10 days after anthesis. Compact type cultivars had a lower, more prostrate growth habit than the Common, Mid-Atlantic, and Bellevue types. Mid-Atlantic type cultivars had a wider rhizome spread than Compact type cultivars. Principal component analysis of morphological measurements made on spaced-plants supports the classification types of the Common, Compact, Bellevue, Mid-Atlantic, and BVMG, but not necessarily the Aggressive type.

Instruado per indigenaj lingvoj en bengaliaj lernejoj pretigis la vojon por la Baptistaj misiistoj de la Misio Serampore kaj la "Evangelia" kristanigo de hindoj. Tio okazis antau tiam kiam Okcidenta scienca kaj literatura edukado pere de la angla esence frostigis la planojn de Hastings. Strange, tio kondukis al tiu angligo de Hindio fare de Macaulay kaj aliaj utilistoj, kio malhelpis la hindigadon, kiun markis la rego de la Orientindia Kompanio. La celoj de la du skoloj - hindigo de la brita administracio kaj okcidentigo de Hindio - estis preskaŭ identaj, sed la periloj malsimilis. Tiel la sanceliĝo inter partnereco kaj patroneco en la politiko de la Kompanio rilate la hindajn lingvojn daŭre restis temo de postaj literaturaj kaj lingvaj esploroj.

Relevance Currently, the first place goes to the creation of new high-yielding varieties and hybrids F1 crops that meet the requirements of modern industrial technologies. Heterosis hybrids have high yield, marketability, equalization, friendly yield and resistance to disease. Methods When developing new varieties and hybrids of radish suitable for mechanized harvesting, attention should be paid to the strength of the attachment of the leaf outlet and its upright position, the uniformity of immersion in the soil and the easy pull-out of root crops. Studies were performed in a protected (heated film greenhouse) and open ground in All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Vegetable Growing – Branch of the FSBSI Federal Scientific Vegetable Center. Results The results of breeding work with European radish are presented. According to the results of expert evaluation, the state register of breeding achievements included two varieties of European summer radish – Bianca, Sirius and one hybrid of European winter radish – Tsyganskiy Baron F1. The new varieties are distinguished by uniformity in shape, length, diameter of the root crop, compact leaf rosette, form a root crop in a short and long daylight, recommended for cultivation under film shelters and in the open ground (early spring and summer sowing time). As a result of repeated inbreeding, inbred lines of European winter radish (brought to the seventh generation) were created, characterized by high equalization of the root crop, with strict self-compatibility. These lines were included in the process of creating heterosis hybrids. Evaluation of the obtained hybrids was carried out in the open ground. A hybrid of radish European winter Tsyganskiy Baron F1 – medium-ripe, flat-rounded root, black, weighing 220-260 g. Perspective hybrid in relation to the standard has a more aligned form of the root, with a rich black color and smooth surface. Tsyganskiy Baron F1 on the above indicators exceeds the standard night, resistant to stressful conditions.

Purpose – Drawing upon the social exchange theory and empowerment theory, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of perceived person-environment fit on organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB). Furthermore, this study assesses the roles of organisational commitment and psychological empowerment (PE) in this relationship. Design/methodology/approach – Respondents of this study were employees of the Iran Northeast Gas Transfer Company. Data were collected through conducting a survey on 500 employees, of which 412 questionnaires were used for further analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation modelling, Baron and Kenny's (1986) procedure for examining mediator effect, and finally Zhao and Cavusgil's (2006) technique of evaluating moderator effect were utilised for the analyses. Findings – Results indicated that organisational commitment acts as a mediator between person-job (P-J) fit and person-organisation (P-O) fit and OCB. PE acts as a moderator between organisational commitment and OCB. Practical implications – This research has implications for approaches to human resource management in organisations. Originality/value – This study empirically synthesises the joint effect of P-O fit and P-J fit on a behavioural variable (OCB) in the social context of organisation and explains the mechanism of the effect. The pattern of relationships tested is relatively novel.

Full textAbstract:
Korea’s small- and medium-sized enterprises are desperate to improve their performance through engaging in technological innovation, due to the fierce competition prevalent in a low growth economic environment. However, most small- and medium-sized enterprises are having difficulty responding to changes in the economic environment due to the challenge of developing their own technologies and their limited resources. The aim of this study is to assess whether government financial support for R&D aimed at small- and medium-sized enterprises has contributed to improvements in their business management performance. The sample of this study was comprised of 105 KOSDAQ-listed small- and medium-sized enterprises with experience in technology development. The empirical analysis was conducted on the basis of the mediating effect measurement method of Baron and Kenny (1986). It was found that company technological innovation capabilities have a positive effect on management performance, and in particular, that the majority of companies that received government financial support for R&D have improved their management performance. Therefore, it is recommended that small- and medium-sized companies take an active part in various government R&D financial support programs and make efforts to strengthen their technological innovation in areas such as their product service and process innovation capabilities.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of four important influencing factors on user satisfaction with an in-house developed ERP module in a large oil and gas company in Saudi Arabia. It explores whether communication campaigns, training, benefits, ease of use (EoU) are key antecedents of user satisfaction, and examine the mediating effects of EoU and benefits on satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach – A questionnaire was developed and distributed to a sample of 104 ERP users who were actively engaged in the ERP system implementation process. The partial least square method was used to test the research model. Baron and Kenny’s approach was used to test the mediating effects. Findings – The proposed research model explained 62.7 percent of the variance in ERP user satisfaction. The results showed that EoU fully mediates the relationship between the training and communications and the benefits. Both EoU and benefits fully mediate the relationship between training and satisfaction and partially mediate the relationship between communications and satisfaction. Practical implications – The findings of this study imply that training programs and communication campaigns should be designed in such a way that foster the EoU and convey and convince the ERP stakeholders about the benefits and values of ERP systems. Originality/value – This study extends the understanding of salient factors affecting the ERP satisfaction in a different setting, namely in an oil & gas industry of a developing country. Although academic research of ERP satisfaction is abundant, this study contributes to the field by examining the mediating effects which rarely tackled in the extant research studies.

Full textAbstract:
Ba0.55Sr0.4Ca0.05TiO3-MgO (BSCTM) with Mn2+additive composite ceramics were prepared by the conventional solid state method with BaCO3, SrCO3, CaCO3, MgO and MnCO3as raw materials and B2O3and Li2CO3as sintering agent. The influence of the MnCO3additive on the sinterability and dielectric properties of BSCTM composite ceramics are investigated. The morphologies were analysized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of ceramics were measured by LCR meter at 1 kHz and 1 MHz. The temperature dependences of dielectric constant were measured by high-low temperature incubator tank and LCR meter at 1 MHz and a temperature range from-55 to 125 °C. The dielectric tunabilities were tested by C-T-V converter and LCR meter at 1 MHz and room temperature (25 °C). SEM results showed that BSCTM ceramics became more compact with the increase of Mn2+content, because Mn2+helped to form more oxygen vacancies for accelerating densification process. The addition of Mn2+largely reduced the dielectric loss while had little effect on dielectric constant. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of 0.5mol% Mn2+doped BSCTM ceramics were 222 and 0.001, respectively. The dielectric tunability increased at first and then decreased with the increase of Mn2+content. The tunability of 0.5mol% Mn2+doped BSCTM ceramics were 4.04% under a DC electric field of 8.2 kV/cm.

Full textAbstract:
Background:Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a life-threatening complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc), thought to be more commonly found in limited cutaneous (lcSSc) compared to diffuse (dcSSc) subset. Since lcSSc has a better prognosis, it is unclear whether a higher occurrence of PH in lcSSc reflects survival bias.Objectives:To compare the cumulative PH incidence in disease subsets, after accounting for death as a competing event, in a large multi-center SSc cohort.Methods:Cumulative incidence of PH was studied in 1431 Canadian Scleroderma Research Group (CSRG) database patients (57% lcSSc; follow-up 3.5±2.9 years, range 1-14) by Fine-Gray analysis, unadjusted and adjusted for sex, age and SSc-related autoantibodies (SAS 9.4). Survival curves, predictors of PH development and survival were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards analyses (SPSS 25.0). Subgroup analysis was performed for PAH.Results:157 SSc patients had PH (including 117 PAH), either confirmed by RHC or postmortem. Compared to those without PH, lcSSc-PH patients had longer disease and older age at SSc diagnosis, while dcSSc-PH patients - more severe peripheral vascular and gastrointestinal involvement. The cumulative incidences of PH/PAH were similar in dcSSc and lcSSc after accounting for death in the adjusted competitive risk model (Table 1; Fig.1). 47% of PH- and 42% of PAH-patients died over a FU period. Male gender (p<0.0001) and anti-Scl-70 (p<0.001) were associated with earlier PH development, while older age (p=0.006) - with PAH (Table 2). ACA-negativity and older age predicted worse PH prognosis.Figure 1.Cumulative incidence curves for PH (A) and PAH (B).Conclusion:Cumulative incidence of PH, after accounting for death as competing event, was comparable in SSc subsets. Vigilance should be considered in males, Scl-70 positive and late age-onset SSc.Table 1.Sub-distribution Hazard ratio of incident PH and PAH.PHPAHHazard ratio (95% CIs)P valuesHazard ratio (95% CIs)P valuesCrude ModelDcSSc vs lcSSc2.03 (1.13, 3.66)0.01861.60 (0.82, 3.16)0.1710Adjusted modelDcSSc vs lcSSc1.82 (0.93, 3.57)0.08181.57 (0.69, 3.59)0.2812Female vs male0.98 (0.42, 2.32)0.96602.10 (0.51, 8.65)0.3040Age1.00 (0.99, 1.02)0.70411.01 (0.98, 1.03)0.5498AntibodiesACA vs negative0.95 (0.46, 1.96)0.89911.08 (0.50, 2.35)0.8391ATA vs negative1.93 (0.84, 4.42)0.11980.59 (0.13, 2.73)0.4970Anti-RNAP vs negative1.24 (0.45, 3.43)0.68411.77 (0.58, 5.44)0.3181Disclosure of Interests:Tatiana Nevskaya: None declared, Yuxuan Jiang: None declared, Mianbo Wang: None declared, Murray Baron: None declared, Janet Pope Grant/research support from: AbbVie, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly & Company, Merck, Roche, Seattle Genetics, UCB, Consultant of: AbbVie, Actelion, Amgen, Bayer, Boehringer Ingelheim, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eicos Sciences, Eli Lilly & Company, Emerald, Gilead Sciences, Inc., Janssen, Merck, Novartis, Pfizer, Roche, Sandoz, Sanofi, UCB, Speakers bureau: UCB

Background:Immunosuppression (IS) remains the main treatment for progressing skin involvement, active interstitial lung disease (ILD) and underlying inflammatory joint (IJ) or muscle disease in systemic sclerosis (SSc).Objectives:This study investigated the pattern and trends in immunosuppressive agent use in patients with early SSc diagnosed before and after 2007 to determine whether the changes in the preferred type and combination of IS, timing and predictors of administration took place over the past decade.Methods:397 SSc patients from Canadian Scleroderma Research Group (CSRG) database (183dcSSc, 214 lcSSc) who had baseline and follow-up visits within 3 years (1.8±0.8) after disease onset were included: 82% females, age at diagnosis 53±13 years, disease duration 1.6±0.8 years. Organ involvement was assessed by modified Rodnan skin score, Medsger Disease Severity Score (DSS) and CSRG definitions using bivariate, chi-squared, ANOVA, and adjusted regression analyses.Results:115 dcSSc patients (63%) and 62 lcSSc (29%) received IS, most commonly methotrexate (MTX) (72% dcSSc and 52% lcSSc), followed by mycophenylate mofetil (MMF) and cyclophosphamide (CYC). Within the patients receiving IS, monotherapy prevailed (77% dcSSc and 68% lcSSc); CYC and azathioprine were the preferred choice of IS more frequently in lcSSc compared to dcSSc (p<0.006 and p<0.02, respectively). In dcSSc, IS were predominantly prescribed at years 2 and 3 after the onset of first non-Raynaud’s phenomenon (RP) manifestation, when about half of the patients received IS. The proportion of lcSSc patients receiving IS was significantly lower and distributed more equally through the first three years. After 2007, dcSSc patients received IS more often (74% vs 50%, p=0.001), especially MTX (p=0.02) and MMF (p<0.05), and earlier (peaked at 2 years after disease onset)(Table 1).Table 1.Proportion of patients receiving immunosuppressive treatment at each year after disease onset in SSc diagnosed before and after 2007.Years after the first non-RP symptomlcSScBefore 2007After 2007Total N of pts seen at each year% receiving immune suppressivesTotal N of pts seen at each year% receiving immune suppressivesP-value113154717>0.92242182180.7723491410714>0.9dcSSc1242940430.2862512665650.00013624563540.325IS administration was associated with male gender, ILD, a-Scl-70 positivity, ACA-negativity and IJ disease in lcSSc, and with ACA-negativity and a higher mRSS in dcSSc. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that IS treatment could be predicted by ACA-negativity in lcSSc patients (Exp(B) 0.317, p=0.012) and younger age in dcSSc patients (Exp(B) 0.974, p=0.002).Conclusion:Over the past decade, there has been a trend to prescribe IS more often, especially MTX, and earlier in dcSSc patients. MMF has gained favour over CYC. Autoantibody status was the most consistent predictor whether a patient is likely to take IS over the course of the disease.Disclosure of Interests:Ryan Park: None declared, Tatiana Nevskaya: None declared, Murray Baron: None declared, Janet Pope Grant/research support from: AbbVie, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly & Company, Merck, Roche, Seattle Genetics, UCB, Consultant of: AbbVie, Actelion, Amgen, Bayer, Boehringer Ingelheim, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eicos Sciences, Eli Lilly & Company, Emerald, Gilead Sciences, Inc., Janssen, Merck, Novartis, Pfizer, Roche, Sandoz, Sanofi, UCB, Speakers bureau: UCB

Full textAbstract:
The systematic analysis of the world experience of civilian use of knives not as cold weapons showed that at present the knife did not become the main attribute of equipping tourists, fish men and even hunters. In particular, today there are very few types of hunting, during which the knife is used to finish off the beast or to protect against it. At the same time, as the practice of hunting management proves, during hunting there are many uses for the knife, even without considering it as a means for cooking. This, in particular, sharpening various stakes (for a tent, a hut, a campfire), skinning a game, preparing chips for a fire, scraping ice from skis or marsh mud from shoes. To do this, in accordance with current state technical standards, any folding knife must have a lock, and the blades of all knives must be of sufficient thickness so as not to break from the load. Handles of hunting knives should be comfortable to hold so that your hand will not get tired during long-term work. For all knives, according to the technical requirements, the length and thickness of the blade must be consistent, as well as the angle of inclination of the tip relative to the axis of the blade. With regard to the above, an interesting example is the collection of knives by the Swedish company Eriksson, consisting of four models, made in the configuration of the Swedish finca. The knives have a handle and a blade of a classic Finnish knife, but with a one-sided stopper. Their blades, depending on the color of the handle, are made of different types of steel. Knives with blue plastic handles have stainless steel blades, and knives with red handles are made of carbon steel. It is believed that in Sweden almost every construction worker walks with such a knife in his pocket. It should be noted that according to the current method of forensic investigation of cold weapons and structurally similar products in it, these knives can be attributed to cold weapons by the size of the blade. It is also interesting an urban-type knife, which is not a cold weapon of the Worden Tactical Medium Company. Renowned wizard Kelly Warden, an instructor for American Rangers, designs this knife. Since 2001, Kelly Warden has been the main consultant on impact and blade weapons of Detachment 1 of the US Special Forces. He trains Special Forces hand-to-hand combat with the use of a knife, machete, baton, sticks, as well as the method of forceful detention. The blade length of the knife described is 74 mm, thickness – 3.8 mm; the handle has a sub-finger protrusion to prevent the arm from slipping on the blade. The knife does not have a standard stopper, which, in addition to protecting it from slipping the hand on the blade, must prevent the hand from sinking into the victim’s body. By all measures, this knife is not a cold weapon in accordance with the requirements of the criminal law of Ukraine. Kelly Warden believes that the knife as a means of self-defense levels the difference in weight, height and physical strength, but its main drawback is its damaging ability. The proposed article is devoted to this circumstance, the definition of the role of the restrictor in classifying a knife as a cold weapon.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTThe “Luther film” is still a little-examined source for the Protestant self-image, despite the fact that the medium was employed since 1911 to portray the history of the Reformation. Of the four known silent films on the subject, two are preserved only as copies of a late censored version. There is a clearly recognizable paradigm shift in the portrayal of the reformer over the twenty-year span of these Luther films. Luther is transformed from the romantic aesthete of the “Wittenberger Nachtigall” in 1913 to the hero of the “deutschen Reformation” in 1927. Concerning the earliest films, made in 1911 (“Doktor Martin Luther”) and 1913 (“Wittenberger Nachtigall” renamed “Der Weg zur Sonne” in 1921), the circumstances of and grounds for production are no longer entirely clear. Most likely they were primarily concerned with commercial enterprise, but at the same time they reflected the spirit of the Luther-Renaissance in a popular way. Nevertheless the importance of the silent movie for the transfer of the patterns and images of Lutheran iconography into film cannot be underestimated. A fundamental difference from the later films is the focus of the earlier films’ biographical narrative upon Luther’s wedding. This approach would not be used again until after World War II. The influence of the church can first be demonstrated in the Luther film of 1923. The initiative for the film - in light of the meeting of the Lutheran World Assembly in Eisenach on August 21, 1923 - probably came from the Baron von den Heyden- Rynsch, who was at that time head of the Eisenach city Bureau for Art, Sport and Tourism. The highest church authorities supported the production in two ways: they offered scriptwriting advice and also eventually allowed the film to be distributed through the Evangelical Picture Association (Evangelische Bilderkammer|). However, the resulting film received mixed reviews. This was due not only to deficiencies in the acting, but also to the tentative portrayal of the film’s religious subject matter. “Luther. Ein Film der deutschen Reformation” (1926-1927) was much more professionally and lavishly produced. It completely served the national Protestant propaganda of the Evangelical League (Evangelischer Bund|), which founded the production company. The chairman of the League, the Berlin cathedral pastor and university professor Bruno Döhring, had a decisive influence on the script. The film, which would be in wide release until 1939, effectively extended the cultural conflict between the two leading churches, Catholic and Lutheran. It would finally lead to the sort of denominational conflicts that halted the tradition of Luther films in Germany. (Translation by Heather McCune Bruhn, Pennstate College)

Purpose – The purpose of this paper was to attempt to understand the effects of gender, masculinity-femininity and social support from three sources (supervisor, co-worker and family) on the quality of work life (QWL) of an employee. In addition, the paper tried to explore the moderating effects of gender and social support in the relationship between masculinity-femininity and QWL. Relevant background variables such as age, marital status, parental status and sector have been included as control variables in the study. Design/methodology/approach – Data were collected from a sample of 307 bank employees in India (208 males and 99 females) working in private and public sector banks using the purposive sampling technique. Prior permission was obtained from the relevant authorities. To test the hypotheses, t-tests and hierarchical regression analyses were performed. In addition, the Baron and Kenny (1986) approach was used to test the moderating effects of gender and social support in the relationship between masculinity-femininity and QWL. Findings – Masculinity-femininity was not found to be significant predictor of QWL, while gender emerged as a significant predictor of QWL. Also, gender moderated the relationship between masculinity-femininity and QWL. All three sources of social support significantly predicted QWL. Results of t-test showed that female employees experienced better QWL than male employees. Furthermore, supervisory category employees and parent employees reported significantly better QWL than non-supervisory and non-parent employees. Practical implications – The key implication for organisations is that employees with both masculine and feminine tendencies are required to strike a balance between goal orientation and people orientation within the company. Also, employees should understand that their gender as well as their individual orientations towards masculinity or femininity will affect the dynamics of any interaction. Hence, being aware of the tendencies that are typical of their gender role orientations both while dealing with themselves as well as while dealing with customers, colleagues or supervisors would help in improving the quality of their work, as well as their QWL, especially in customer service professions. Originality/value – This is one of the few studies that have tried to answer the “why” part of gender differences in QWL. In addition, this study contributes to an understanding of the relative importance of different sources of social support in improving an employee's QWL. Finally, this is the first study to understand the relationship between masculinity-femininity, social support, gender and QWL in the Indian context, where the overall cultural orientation towards gender roles is currently changing.

Full textAbstract:
Martin Rivers Pollock was born in Liverpool on 10 December 1914. He came from an old legal family, being the great-great-grandson of Sir Jonathan Frederick Pollock, Bt. (1783–1870), a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, barrister, MP for Huntingdon, Attorney General in Peel's first administration and Chief Baron of the Exchequer from 1844 to 1866. His father, Hamilton Rivers Pollock, also went to Trinity College, qualified as a barrister but never practised, and in 1914 was with the Cunard Steam Ship Company, before spending World War I with the Liverpool Regiment and the Royal Air Force. His mother was Eveline Morton Bell, daughter of Thomas Bell, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. After the war his father inherited a fortune from an uncle, and the family moved to Wessex, where they lived first at splendid Anderson Manor, Dorset, and then Urchfont Manor, Wiltshire, his father living as a country squire and JP. Pollock had a conventional upper-class education, beginning with a nanny, followed by West Downs School (1923–28) and then Winchester College (1928–33). His first scientific enthusiasm was for astronomy, but he decided he was insufficiently mathematical to pursue it further (his mathematics master was Clement Durrell, author of some famous texts including Advanced algebra), so he then decided to study medicine. His Wessex schooldays were influenced by the nearby Powys brothers, the youngest (Llewelyn1) having been a Cambridge friend and contemporary of his father. Through Sylvia Townsend Warner2 he met her cousin Janet, daughter of Arthur Llewelyn Machen3, who eventually, in 1979, became his second wife. He went up to Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1933, having done his first MB and the first part of his second MB while still at school, and opting to do the two new half-subjects (Pathology and Biochemistry) that had just been instituted—he remembered thinking at the time that biochemistry was going to be the key subject for medicine in the future. Already while at school he had become a theoretical Communist, and as an undergraduate worked very hard, both at his medical studies and in political activity (such as selling the Daily Worker) for the Party—and knew most of the soon-to-be notorious Cambridge Communists of the time, including Guy Burgess4 and Donald Maclean5. He was now a Senior Scholar, and graduated BA first class in 1936; he started to spend a fourth year reading Part II Biochemistry. He decided in April 1937 that he had spent too long at Cambridge, so moved on to his clinical studies at University College Hospital. He also felt he should try to become qualified before what he saw as the inevitable war started, although he was nearly distracted into joining the International Brigade and going off to Spain—he had been a friend of John Cornford6, who did go to Spain and wrote and died there, and of Norman John (but widely known as James) Klugmann.

Full textAbstract:
During the fall of 2009, sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) planted at the LSU AgCenter's Burden Center in Baton Rouge, LA exhibited severe stem and foliar blight symptoms. Symptoms on stems and petioles included elongated, slightly sunken lesions with dark brown margins. Leaf symptoms included irregular to circular, dark brown lesions with white centers and surrounded by a yellow halo. Several spots often coalesced to form large, blighted areas, and severely affected leaves turned yellow, followed by defoliation. The corolla and calyx exhibited similar lesions except for the yellow halo. Disease developed rapidly and the whole (100% disease incidence) field was blighted within a week following a rain (4 mm). Infected leaf and stem tissue was surface disinfested and plated on ¼-strength potato dextrose agar (PDA). Both leaf and stem tissue consistently produced dark olivaceous-to-black fungal colonies at room temperature under 12 h of fluorescent light per day. Conidia were 53 to 128 × 10 to 26 μm, borne singly on the conidiophores, hyaline to dark olivaceous, cylindrical, rounded at both ends, and with 6 to 10 transverse and 0 to 2 longitudinal septa. Conidiophores were single, unbranched, septate, hyaline to dark olivaceous, and measured 77 to 128 × 7 to 13 μm. Morphologically, the fungus was identified as Alternariaster helianthi (Hansf.) E.G. Simmons (= Alternaria helianthi [Hansf.] Tubaki & Nishih) (1). A single-spore isolate (PDC-4291) was obtained from the original culture and DNA from this isolate was extracted with a DNeasy Plant Mini Kit (Qiagen Inc., Valencia, CA). Primers ITS1 and ITS4 were used to amplify and sequence the internal transcribed spacer regions 1 and 2, and NCBI blast analysis of the 552-bp sequence (GenBank Accession No. JN208925) resulted in 100% homology with Alternaria helianthi isolated from sunflower infected with leaf spot and blight disease in India (GenBank Accession No. DQ156343). Pathogenicity was determined by inoculating 20 potted sunflower plants (Full Sun Improved TD, Fred C. Gloeckner and Company, Inc., Harrison, NY) with conidia from a 2-week-old culture of isolate PDC-4291. Each plant was sprayed with 25 ml of suspension containing 106 conidia/ml. Twenty control plants were sprayed with 25 ml of sterile distilled water. Inoculated and control plants were covered with plastic bags and maintained in a greenhouse at 28 ± 2°C. Plastic bags were removed 72 h after inoculation. Leaf spots similar to the original symptoms appeared on all 20 inoculated plants 5 days after inoculation. A few stem lesions were observed on 13 plants. Two weeks after inoculation, infected leaves turned yellow and blighted. Alternariaster helianthi (= Alternaria helianthi) was reisolated from the leaf spots and stem lesions. No symptoms developed on any of the 20 control plants. On the basis of morphology and sequence data, this pathogen was identified as A. helianthi, and to our knowledge, this is the first report of sunflower stem and foliar blight caused by A. helianthi in Louisiana. In Louisiana, sunflower is a popular ornamental that is grown in landscapes and gardens and by commercial flower growers who grow it for cut flower arrangements. Louisiana's hot, humid weather is ideal for disease development, which may discourage gardeners and commercial growers from planting sunflower. Reference: (1) E. G. Simmons.

Full textAbstract:
Background:RISE-SSc (NCT02283762) was a multicenter Phase IIb trial of riociguat in pts with early (duration ≤18 months) dcSSc and modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS) 10−22 units. Pts were randomized double-blind to placebo or riociguat 0.5–2.5 mg t.i.d. for 52 weeks. The primary endpoint, mRSS change from baseline to Week (Wk) 52, did not reach statistical significance (p=0.08, riociguat vs placebo), but there were favorable trends in some other outcomes.Objectives:To present open-label long-term extension (LTE) results of RISE-SSc.Methods:Pts who completed Wk 52 of double-blind therapy could enter LTE on riociguat. Endpoints included mRSS, adverse events (AEs), and serious AEs (SAEs).Results:Of 60 pts randomized to riociguat and 61 to placebo, 42 (riociguat−riociguat group) and 45 (former placebo group), respectively, entered LTE. At LTE start, mean±SD mRSS was 16.4±3.2 and 16.3±4.2 units, and mean disease duration was 8.9±7.8 and 8.9±5.8 months, in the riociguat−riociguat and former placebo groups, respectively. Other demographics/disease characteristics were also comparable. Median duration of riociguat treatment was 1092 d in riociguat−riociguat pts and 649 d in former placebo pts. Throughout the study, mRSS decreased in both groups (Figure 1). From Wk 52 to last visit, mRSS fell by −3.02±5.51 in riociguat−riociguat patients and −3.96±5.43 in former placebo pts. Rates of mRSS regression (decrease by >5 units and ≥25% from Wk 52 to last visit) and of % declines in mRSS were similar in the two groups (Figure 2). mRSS progression (increase by >5 units and ≥25% from Wk 52 to last visit) occurred in 1 pt (2%) in each group. During the entire study, rescue therapy agents were used in 15 (36%) riociguat−riociguat pts and 17 (38%) former placebo pts. AEs were reported from Wk 52 to last visit in 82 pts (94%): 40 (95%) riociguat−riociguat and 42 (93%) former placebo. Most common AEs overall: nasopharyngitis (24%), gastroesophageal reflux disease (17%), diarrhea (15%), and hypotension (14%). AEs of special interest (dizziness, postural dizziness, or hypotension) occurred in 5 riociguat−riociguat pts (12%) and 4 former placebo pts (9%). SAEs were reported in 21 (24%) pts: 10 (24%) riociguat−riociguat pts and 11 (24%) former placebo pts, with no SAE reported in >1 patient, no SAEs of special interest, and no deaths.Conclusion:During LTE riociguat treatment, mRSS decreased in both groups from Wk 52 onwards and mRSS progression was uncommon. Riociguat had acceptable safety, similar to the main study, with no new safety signal.Acknowledgments:RISE-SSc was jointly funded by Bayer AG and Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc., Kenilworth, NJ, USA.Disclosure of Interests:Dinesh Khanna Shareholder of: Eicos, Grant/research support from: NIH NIAID, NIH NIAMS, Consultant of: Acceleron, Actelion, Bayer, BMS, Boehringer-Ingelheim, Corbus, Galapagos, Genentech/Roche, GSK, Mitsubishi Tanabi, Sanofi-Aventis/Genzyme, UCB Pharma, Janet Pope Grant/research support from: AbbVie, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly & Company, Merck, Roche, Seattle Genetics, UCB, Consultant of: AbbVie, Actelion, Amgen, Bayer, Boehringer Ingelheim, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eicos Sciences, Eli Lilly & Company, Emerald, Gilead Sciences, Inc., Janssen, Merck, Novartis, Pfizer, Roche, Sandoz, Sanofi, UCB, Speakers bureau: UCB, Marco Matucci-Cerinic Grant/research support from: Actelion, MSD, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Speakers bureau: Acetelion, Lilly, Boehringer Ingelheim, Masataka Kuwana Grant/research support from: Acetelion, Consultant of: Acetelion, Bayer, Chugai, Corbus Pharmaceuticals, CSL Behring and Reata Pharmaceuticals.

Full textAbstract:
Background:RISE-SSc (NCT02283762) was a multicenter, double-blind, Phase IIb study of riociguat in early dcSSc. Primary endpoint was change in mRSS from baseline to Wk 52.Objectives:Exploratory, descriptive analyses of riociguat target engagement and effects on disease biomarkers in RISE-SSc and their relationship with effects on the primary endpoint. All biomarker p-values are for information only.Methods:Pts with dcSSc (duration ≤18 mo; modified Rodnan skin score [mRSS] 10–22 units) were randomized to riociguat 0.5−2.5 mg tid (n=60) or placebo (n=61). Biomarkers of target engagement (cGMP), inflammation and/or vascular/endothelial function (e.g. high-sensitivity C-reactive protein [hsCRP], soluble platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 [sPECAM-1], soluble E-selectin, chemokine ligand 4 [CXCL-4]), and fibrosis (e.g. alpha-smooth muscle cell actin [alphaSMA], pro-collagen mRNA expression) were measured in plasma, serum, and skin biopsies at baseline and Wk 14.Results:Mean±SD change from baseline in mRSS was –2.09±5.66 (n=57) with riociguat and –0.77±8.24 (n=52) with placebo (p=0.08). From baseline to Wk 14, plasma cGMP rose by mean (SD) 94% (78%) (n=52) with riociguat and 10% (39%) (n=52) with placebo (nominal p<0.001). Serum sPECAM-1 and CXCL-4 fell with riociguat vs placebo; changes in hsCRP or E-selectin differed little between groups (Fig 1). Pts with higher baseline sPECAM-1 showed larger mRSS reductions with riociguat vs placebo than pts with lower levels (nominal interaction p=0.004). In baseline skin biopsies, 34% and 31% of pts in the riociguat and placebo groups, respectively, had no alphaSMA-positive cells; other pts had +ve cells (alphaSMA counts 0.1–99.5, median 2.5), a potential indicator of higher disease activity. Pts with +ve baseline alphaSMA counts showed a reduction of mRSS with riociguat vs placebo (Fig 2). Skin collagen mRNA expression biomarkers in skin biopsies showed no differences between groups.Conclusion:Primary study endpoint (change in mRSS) was not met. Plasma cGMP rose with riociguat, confirming engagement with the NO-sGC-cGMP pathway. Serum sPECAM-1 (marker of endothelial activation) and CXCL-4 (marker of progressive SSc) fell with riociguat; hsCRP and E-selectin did not. Some serum and skin biomarkers of higher disease activity at baseline were associated with a greater effect of riociguat on skin fibrosis.Acknowledgments:RISE-SSc was jointly funded by Bayer AG and Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc., Kenilworth, NJ, USA.Disclosure of Interests:Oliver Distler Grant/research support from: Grants/Research support from Actelion, Bayer, Boehringer Ingelheim, Competitive Drug Development International Ltd. and Mitsubishi Tanabe; he also holds the issued Patent on mir-29 for the treatment of systemic sclerosis (US8247389, EP2331143)., Consultant of: Consultancy fees from Actelion, Acceleron Pharma, AnaMar, Bayer, Baecon Discovery, Blade Therapeutics, Boehringer, CSL Behring, Catenion, ChemomAb, Curzion Pharmaceuticals, Ergonex, Galapagos NV, GSK, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, Inventiva, Italfarmaco, iQvia, medac, Medscape, Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma, MSD, Roche, Sanofi and UCB, Speakers bureau: Speaker fees from Actelion, Bayer, Boehringer Ingelheim, Medscape, Pfizer and Roche, Frank Kramer Employee of: Bayer AG, Josef Höfler Employee of: Josef Höfler is an employee of Staburo GmbH, Munich, Germany, contracted by Bayer AG to perform the biomarker analyses, Mercedeh Ghadessi Employee of: Bayer AG, Peter Sandner Employee of: Bayer AG, Yannick Allanore Grant/research support from: BMS, Inventiva, Roche, Sanofi, Consultant of: Actelion, Bayer AG, BMS, BI, Christopher Denton Grant/research support from: GlaxoSmithKline, CSL Behring, and Inventiva, Consultant of: Medscape, Roche-Genentech, Actelion, GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi Aventis, Inventiva, CSL Behring, Boehringer Ingelheim, Corbus Pharmaceuticals, Acceleron, Curzion and Bayer, Masataka Kuwana Grant/research support from: Acetelion, Consultant of: Acetelion, Bayer, Chugai, Corbus Pharmaceuticals, CSL Behring and Reata Pharmaceuticals.

Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases 79, Suppl 1 (June 2020): 1100.1–1100. http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/annrheumdis-2020-eular.1511.
Full textAbstract:
Background:Presence of anti-centromere antibodies (ACA) generally associates with a better prognosis than many other systemic sclerosis (SSc) associated autoantibodies. However, presentation of the disease can be very heterogeneous and prediction of the disease course is challenging. Some older studies suggest a possible association between clinical characteristics and isotypes of ACA in patients with SSc. It is unknown whether ACA can serve as biomarker for future SSc development.Objectives:To evaluate the clinical course of very early SSc and to assess whether ACA isotype levels can identify subjects that will progress to definite SSc.Methods:ACA IgG+ patients with very early SSc (defined as presence of ACA IgG AND Raynaud and/or puffy fingers and/or abnormal nailfold capillaroscopy but not fulfilling ACR 2013 criteria) from five prospective SSc cohorts (Leiden, Zurich, Oslo, Bordeaux, Ghent) were included. Presence and levels of ACA IgG, IgM and IgA were determined at first clinical assessment and clinical course was evaluated annually. Disease progression to definite SSc, which was defined as fulfillment of the ACR 2013 criteria for SSc, and included any development of: digital ulcers (DU), interstitial lung disease (ILD) assessed by high resolution chest tomography, pulmonary arterial hypertension assessed by right heart catheterization, gastro-intestinal involvement, renal crisis or myocardial involvement was determined. ACA response characteristics were compared between very early SSc patients that progressed to definite SSc and those who did not. Logistic regression was performed to determine whether ACA response characteristics can predict progression to definite SSc, with adjustment for age and follow-up duration.Results:In total 92 subjects were included with median follow-up (FU) of 3 years (table 1); 39% progressed to definite SSc, mostly based on the development of skin involvement (77%). Twenty-three percent of patients developed lung involvement, 11% DU, 17% gastro-intestinal involvement and 4% myocardial involvement. Progression on more than one organ system was present in 31% of the very early SSc patients. In the multivariable logistic regression, with adjustment for age and follow-up duration, ACA IgG levels at baseline were significantly associated with progression to definite SSc (OR 3.0 (1.1-8.8)). Likewise, a trend was observed for higher ACA IgM levels (OR 1.8 (0.9-3.5)) in the very early SSc patients progressing to definite SSc (figure 1).Table 1.Baseline characteristics and ACA isotype levels in patients with very early SSc, and between progressors and non-progressors. * p value < 0.05.Progressors(n=35)Non-progressors(n=57)Female, n(%)32 (91)50 (91)Age, mean (SD)56 (14)53 (13)Disease duration since non Raynaud phenomenon, median(IQR) in years3 (0.8-10)2 (0.6-7)Follow-up duration in years, median (IQR)4 (2-6)2 (1-3)*Abnormal Nailfold videocapillaroscopy, n(%)17 (65)27 (60)IgA level [aU/mL], median (IQR)63 (34-120)75 (35-144)IgM level [aU/mL], median (IQR)131 (32-585)79 (18-391)IgG level [U/mL], median (IQR)342 (162-720)195 (93-488)*Conclusion:In this study we illustrate that 39% of the ACA positive very early SSc subjects progress to definite SSc within median 4 years.

Full textAbstract:
Background:In the SENSCIS trial in patients with SSc-ILD, nintedanib reduced the rate of decline in FVC over 52 weeks vs placebo, with no difference between groups in change in mRSS.Objectives:Analyse correlation between progression of skin fibrosis and progression of SSc-ILD in the SENSCIS trial.Methods:Patients with SSc-ILD were randomised to receive nintedanib or placebo until the last patient reached week 52 but for ≤100 weeks. We calculated Spearman correlation coefficients between FVC (mL) at baseline and change from baseline in mRSS, mRSS at baseline and change from baseline in FVC (mL), and changes from baseline in mRSS and FVC at weeks 52 and 100 in all patients. We analysed the rate of decline in FVC (mL/year) in patients who did and did not have progression of skin fibrosis (relative change from baseline in mRSS >25% and absolute change from baseline >5 points) at week 52.Results:In the nintedanib (n=288) and placebo (n=288) groups, respectively, mean (SD) baseline FVC (mL) was 2459 (736) and 2541 (816) and mRSS was 11.3 (9.2) and 10.9 (8.8); 53.1% and 50.7% had dcSSc;18.4% and 16.0% had progression of mRSS at week 52. No meaningful correlations were observed in analyses between mRSS and FVC (Table). The mean (SE) annual rate of decline in FVC in the placebo group was similar in patients who did and did not have progression of mRSS (-95.2 [27.1] and -91.4 [15.7] mL/year, respectively). The effect of nintedanib vs placebo on reducing the rate of decline in FVC was numerically more pronounced in patients who did not have progression of mRSS vs those who did (difference [95% CI] 44.3 mL/year [0.6, 88.1] vs 24.6 [-53.7, 102.9]), but the interaction p-value (0.66) did not indicate heterogeneity in treatment effect between subgroups.Conclusion:In the SENSCIS trial, the proportion of patients who had progression of skin fibrosis over 52 weeks was low, without significant differences between placebo and nintedanib. No meaningful correlations were observed between skin fibrosis at baseline or progression of skin fibrosis and progression of SSc-ILD. The rate of decline in FVC was similar between patients who did and did not have progression of mRSS. These findings suggest that in the overall patient population in the SENSCIS trial, progression of skin fibrosis and progression of ILD were distinct manifestations of disease progression.Table:FVC at baseline and change from baseline in mRSSmRSS at baseline and change from baseline in FVCChanges from baseline in mRSS and FVCNCorrelation*NCorrelation*NCorrelation*Week 52Nintedanib2470.11 (-0.01, 0.23)241-0.08 (-0.20, 0.05)238-0.07 (-0.19, 0.06)Placebo2540.12 (-0.00, 0.24)257-0.15 (-0.27, -0.03)2520.03 (-0.09, 0.15)Week 100Nintedanib730.21 (-0.02, 0.42)73-0.06 (-0.29, 0.17)700.06 (-0.17, 0.30)Placebo660.28 (0.04, 0.49)730.04 (-0.19, 0.27)66-0.14 (-0.37, 0.10)*Spearman correlation coefficient (95% CI)Disclosure of Interests:Oliver Distler Grant/research support from: Grants/Research support from Actelion, Bayer, Boehringer Ingelheim, Competitive Drug Development International Ltd. and Mitsubishi Tanabe; he also holds the issued Patent on mir-29 for the treatment of systemic sclerosis (US8247389, EP2331143)., Consultant of: Consultancy fees from Actelion, Acceleron Pharma, AnaMar, Bayer, Baecon Discovery, Blade Therapeutics, Boehringer, CSL Behring, Catenion, ChemomAb, Curzion Pharmaceuticals, Ergonex, Galapagos NV, GSK, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, Inventiva, Italfarmaco, iQvia, medac, Medscape, Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma, MSD, Roche, Sanofi and UCB, Speakers bureau: Speaker fees from Actelion, Bayer, Boehringer Ingelheim, Medscape, Pfizer and Roche, Kristin Highland Grant/research support from: Boehringer Ingelheim - PI for SENSCIS and SENSCIS-ON trials (paid to my institution), Consultant of: Kristin Highland has acted as a consultant to Boehringer Ingelheim.

Thaning, Kaj. "Hvem var Clara? 1-3." Grundtvig-Studier 37, no. 1 (January 1, 1985): 11–46. http://dx.doi.org/10.7146/grs.v37i1.15940.
Full textAbstract:
Who was Clara?By Kaj ThaningIn this essay the author describes his search for Clara Bolton and her acquaintance with among others Benjamin Disraeli and the priest, Alexander d’Arblay, a son of the author, Fanny Burney. He gives a detailed account of Clara Bolton and leaves no doubt about the deep impression she made on Grundtvig, even though he met her and spoke to her only once in his life at a dinner party in London on June 24th 1830. Kaj Thaning has dedicated his essay to Dr. Oscar Wood, Christ Church College, Oxford, and explains why: “Just 30 years ago, while one of my daughters was working for Dr. Oscar Wood, she asked him who “Mrs. Bolton” was. Grundtvig speaks of her in a letter to his wife dated June 25th 1830. Through the Disraeli biographer, Robert Blake, Dr. Wood discovered her identity, so I managed to add a footnote to my thesis (p. 256). She was called Clara! The Disraeli archives, once preserved in Disraeli’s home at Hughenden Manor but now in the British Museum, contain a bundle of letters which Dr. Wood very kindly copied for me. The letters fall into three groups, the middle one being from June 1832, when Clara Bolton was campaigning, in vain, for Disraeli’s election to parliament. Her husband was the Disraeli family doctor, and through him she wrote her first letter to Benjamin Disraeli, asking for his father’s support for her good friend, Alexander d’Arblay, a theology graduate, in his application for a position. This led to the young Disraeli asking her to write to him at his home at Bradenham. There are therefore a group of letters from before June 1832. Similarly there are a number of letters from a later date, the last being from November 1832”.The essay is divided into three sections: 1) Clara Bolton and Disraeli, 2) The break between them, 3) Clara Bolton and Alexander d’Arblay. The purpose of the first two sections is to show that the nature of Clara Bolton’s acquaintance with Disraeli was otherwise than has been previously assumed. She was not his lover, but his political champion. The last section explains the nature of her friendship with Alex d’Arblay. Here she was apparently the object of his love, but she returned it merely as friendship in her attempt to help him to an appointment and to a suitable lifelong partner. He did acquire a new position but died shortly after. There is a similarity in her importance for both Grundtvig and d’Arblay in that they were both clergymen and poets. Disraeli and Grundtvig were also both writers and politicians.At the age of 35 Clara Bolton died, on June 29th 1839 in a hotel in Le Havre, according to the present representative of the Danish Institute in Rouen, Bent Jørgensen. She was the daughter of Michael Peter Verbecke and Clarissa de Brabandes, names pointing to a Flemish background. On the basis of archive studies Dr. Michael Hebbert has informed the author that Clara’s father was a merchant living in Bread Street, London, between 1804 and 1807. In 1806 a brother was born. After 1807 the family disappears from the archives, and Clara’s letters reveal nothing about her family. Likewise the circumstances of her death are unknown.The light here shed on Clara Bolton’s life and personality is achieved through comprehensive quotations from her letters: these are to be found in the Danish text, reproduced in English.Previous conceptions of Clara’s relationship to Disraeli have derived from his business manager, Philip Rose, who preserved the correspondence between them and added a commentary in 1885, after Disraeli’s death. He it is who introduces the rumour that she may have been Disraeli’s mistress. Dr. Wood, however, doubts that so intimate a relationship existed between them, and there is much in the letters that directly tells against it. The correspondence is an open one, open both to her husband and to Disraeli’s family. As a 17-year-old Philip Rose was a neighbour of Disraeli’s family at Bradenham and a friend of Disraeli’s younger brother, Ralph, who occasionally brought her letters to Bradenham. It would have been easy for him to spin some yarn about the correspondence. In her letters Clara strongly advocates to Disraeli that he should marry her friend, Margaret Trotter. After the break between Disraeli and Clara it was public knowledge that Lady Henrietta Sykes became his mistress, from 1833 to 1836. Her letters to him are of a quite different character, being extremely passionate. Yet Philip Rose’s line is followed by the most recent biographers of Disraeli: the American, Professor B. R. Jerman in The Young Disraeli (1960), the English scholar Robert Blake, in Disraeli (1963) and Sarah Bradford in Disraeli (1983). They all state that Clara Bolton was thought to be Disraeli’s mistress, also by members of his own family. Blake believes that the originator of this view was Ralph Disraeli. It is accepted that Clara Bolton 7 Grundtvig Studier 1985 was strongly attracted to Disraeli, to his manner, his talents, his writing, and not least to his eloquence during the 1832 election campaign. But nothing in her letters points to a passionate love affair.A comparison can be made with Henrietta Sykes’ letters, which openly burn with love. Blake writes of Clara Bolton’s letters (p. 75): “There is not the unequivocal eroticism that one finds in the letters from Henrietta Sykes.” In closing one of her letters Clara writes that her husband, George Buckley Bolton, is waiting impatiently for her to finish the letter so that he can take it with him.She wants Disraeli married, but not to anybody: “You must have a brilliant star like your own self”. She writes of Margaret Trotter: “When you see M. T. you will feel so inspired you will write and take her for your heroine... ” (in his novels). And in her last letter to Disraeli (November 18th 1832) she says: “... no one thing could reconcile me more to this world of ill nature than to see her your wife”. The letter also mentions a clash she has had with a group of Disraeli’s opponents. It shows her temperament and her supreme skill, both of which command the respect of men. No such bluestockings existed in Denmark at the time; she must have impressed Grundtvig.Robert Blake accepts that some uncertainty may exist in the evaluation of letters which are 150 years old, but he finds that they “do in some indefinable way give the impression of brassiness and a certain vulgarity”. Thaning has told Blake his view of her importance for Grundtvig, and this must have modified Blake’s portrait. He writes at least: “... she was evidently not stupid, and she moved in circles which had some claim to being both intellectual and cosmopolitan.”He writes of the inspiration which Grundtvig owed to her, and he concludes: “There must have been more to her than one would deduce by reading her letters and the letters about her in Disraeli’s papers.” - She spoke several languages, and moved in the company of nobles and ambassadors, politicians and literary figures, including John Russell, W.J.Fox, Eliza Flower, and Sarah Adams.However, from the spring of 1833 onwards it is Henrietta Sykes who portrays Clara Bolton in the Disraeli biographies, and naturally it is a negative portrait. The essay reproduces in English a quarrel between them when Sir Francis Sykes was visiting Clara, and Lady Sykes found him there. Henrietta Sykes regards the result as a victory for herself, but Clara’s tears are more likely to have been shed through bitterness over Disraeli, who had promised her everlasting friendship and “unspeakable obligation”. One notes that he did not promise her love. Yet despite the quarrel they all three dine together the same evening, they travel to Paris together shortly afterwards, and Disraeli comes to London to see the them off. The trip however was far from idyllic. The baron and Clara teased Henrietta. Later still she rented a house in fashionable Southend and invited Disraeli down. Sir Francis, however, insisted that the Boltons should be invited too. The essay includes Blake’s depiction of “the curious household” in Southend, (p. 31).In 1834 Clara Bolton left England and took up residence at a hotel in the Hague. A Rotterdam clergyman approached Disraeli’s vicar and he turned to Disraeli’s sister for information about the mysterious lady, who unaccompanied had settled in the Hague, joined the church and paid great attention to the clergy. She herself had said that she was financing her own Sunday School in London and another one together with the Disraeli family. In her reply Sarah Disraeli puts a distance between the family and Clara, who admittedly had visited Bradenham five years before, but who had since had no connection with the family. Sarah is completely loyal to her brother, who has long since dropped Clara. By the time the curious clergyman had received this reply, Clara had left the Hague and arrived at Dover, where she once again met Alexander d’Arblay.Alex was born in 1794, the son of a French general who died in 1818, and Fanny Burney. She was an industrious correspondent; as late as 1984 the 12th and final volume of her Journals and Letters was published. Jens Peter .gidius, a research scholar at Odense University, has brought to Dr Thaning’s notice a book about Fanny Burney by Joyce Hemlow, the main editor of the letters. In both the book and the notes there is interesting information about Clara Bolton.In the 12th volume a note (p. 852) reproduces a letter characterising her — in a different light from the Disraeli biographers. Thaning reproduces the note (pp. 38-39). The letter is written by Fanny Burney’s half-sister, Sarah Harriet Burney, and contains probably the only portrait of her outside the Disraeli biographies.It is now easier to understand how she captivated Grundtvig: “very handsome, immoderately clever, an astrologer, even, that draws out... Nativities” — “... besides poetry-mad... very entertaining, and has something of the look of a handsome witch. Lady Combermere calls her The Sybil”. The characterisation is not the letter-writer’s but that of her former pupil, Harriet Crewe, born in 1808, four years after Clara Bolton. A certain distance is to be seen in the way she calls Clara “poetry-mad”, and says that she has “conceived a fancy for Alex d’Arblay”.Thaning quotes from a letter by Clara to Alex, who apparently had proposed to her, but in vain (see his letter to her and the reply, pp. 42-43). Instead she pointed to her friend Mary Ann Smith as a possible wife. This is the last letter known in Clara’s handwriting and contradicts talk of her “vulgarity”. However, having become engaged to Mary Ann Alex no longer wrote to her and also broke off the correspondence with his mother, who had no idea where he had gone. His cousin wrote to her mother that she was afraid that he had “some Chére Amie”. “The charges are unjust,” says Thaning. “It was a lost friend who pushed him off. This seems to be borne out by a poem which has survived (quoted here on p. 45), and which includes the lines: “But oh young love’s impassioned dream /N o more in a worn out breast may glow / Nor an unpolluted stream / From a turgid fountain flow.””Alex d’Arblay died in loneliness and desperation shortly afterwards. Dr. Thaning ends his summary: “I can find no other explanation for Alexander d’Arblay’s fate than his infatuation with Clara Bolton. In fact it can be compared to Grundtvig’s. For Alex the meeting ended with “the pure stream” no longer flowing from its source. For Grundtvig, on the other hand the meeting inspired the lines in The Little Ladies: Clara’s breath opened the mouth, The rock split and the stream flowed out.”

Full textAbstract:
Francis Thomas Bacon, known to all his friends as Tom, was a gentleman scientist with impeccable antecedents. He was a direct descendant of Sir Nicholas Bacon, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal in the time of Queen Elizabeth I. Sir Nicholas’s son by his second marriage was Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626), Lord Keeper of the Great Seal in the time of James the First, the author of Bacon’s Esay, Novum Organum, The New Atlantis , etc., who became Baron Verulam, Viscount St Albans. He persuaded his contemporaries that a scientific society should be founded in England; this led to the formation of the Royal Society itself. It is also quite possible that Tom was a descendant of the family of Roger Bacon of Oxford (1214-1294) who also was a pioneer of science. Tom Bacon was born at Ramsden Hall, Billericay. His father, Thomas Walter Bacon (1863-1950) was an electrical engineer who, during the later years of the last century, had worked for the Eastern Telegraph Company, both in their workshops in London and in their cable ships. He encouraged his sons to aim for careers in science and engineering. Tom was educated first at St Peters Court Preparatory School in Broadstairs Kent; he had hoped for a career in the Royal Navy but was turned down for Osborne at the age of 12 owing to failing the eyesight test. He then went on to Eton from 1918 to 1922, gaining the School Physics Prize in 1922. From Eton Tom went up to Trinity College, Cambridge, taking the Mechanical Sciences Tripos in 1925. It was while he was at Cambridge that Bacon realized the significance of the Carnot limitation on the thermal efficiency of heat engines and this was to influence almost the whole of the rest of his life.

Full textAbstract:
ObjectivesThere is great opportunity for the beef industry to add value to cuts that are currently marketed as low value cuts (i.e., cuts from the chuck, round, and flank/plate). The objective was to evaluate the processing characteristics and sensory attributes of bacon manufactured from seven different cuts of beef.Materials and MethodsThe seven cuts evaluated included the brisket (IMPS#120), the clod heart (IMPS#114E; divided horizontally into two halves; referenced as the wide half or silverskin side and the narrow half or non-silverskin side), the flank (IMPS#193), the outside flat (IMPS#171B), and the short plate (IMPS#121A; broken down into the deboned short rib half and the navel half). The cuts were injected using a standard commercial bacon cure (water, salt, corn syrup solids, sodium phosphate, sodium erythorbate, sodium nitrate, sodium bicarbonate, and glycerin; Herman Laue Spice Company Inc.; Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada) to a targeted rested pump uptake of approximately 20% (± 3%). The injected cuts were cooked to an internal temperature of 62°C in a smokehouse (ScottPec, Guelph, Ontario). Following cooking, cuts were cooled to 4°C and then sliced into 4.0 mm slices using a deli slicer. Slices were vacuum packaged, boxed, and stored at 4°C for zero, thirty, sixty, or ninety days. Following the allotted storage period, slices were stored at –20°C until evaluation of sensory attributes and cooking loss. Slices were cooked at 204°C for 15 min in a convection oven. Processing characteristics were conducted in six or seven replications for each cut. Sensory evaluation was conducted on three randomly selected samples for each cut at each of the four storage times (the same samples within each cut was used at each storage time). Processing data were analyzed using PROC GLIMMIX of SAS (v9.4) with fixed effect of cut and random effect of replication. A trained descriptive sensory panel of 6–8 panelists evaluated the differences in oxidative flavor and aroma (using a 4-pt nominal scale), and differences in beef flavor intensity, muscle fiber toughness, and connective tissue amount (using magnitude estimation). Sensory data were analyzed as repeated measures using PROC GLIMMIX of SAS (v9.4) with fixed effect of cut, storage day, and their interaction, and random effects of session, panelist, and replication.ResultsAs expected, dimensions and processing weights differed (P < 0.01) among cuts. Rested pump uptake was not different (P = 0.29) among cuts. Smokehouse yield was greater (P < 0.05) for the brisket, outside flat, and short plate (both halves) compared with the clod heart (both halves) and flank. Bacon slice cooking loss and sensory characteristics are presented in Table 4.ConclusionOverall, this research indicated that a variety of beef cuts can be used to manufacture beef bacon. The differences in sensory properties that were quantified in this study, allow manufacturers to tailor their cut selection to the sensory properties most valued by their consumers. All cuts exhibited oxidative stability when stored up to 90 d.Table 4Bacon slice cooking loss and sensory analysis of bacon manufactured with different beef cuts.

"Reduction of Listeria innocua contamination in vacuum-packaged dry-cured Italian pork products after high hydrostatic pressure treatment." Italian Journal of Food Safety 4, no. 2 (June 17, 2015). http://dx.doi.org/10.4081/ijfs.2015.4515.
Full textAbstract:
The present work aims to present the results of the application of a treatment with high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) on Italian fermented and dry-cured pork products. The products used in this study were portioned cured ham, portioned bacon and salami, vacuumpackaged and produced by a single processing company. Two studies were conducted on a single batch of the three products by means of an artificial contamination with <em>Listeria innocua</em> as a surrogate of <em>L. monocytogenes</em>. In the first trial a superficial contamination was obtained by immersion for 3 min in the culture broth with a concentration of approximately 9 log cfu/mL. At the end of the inoculum step, the pieces were dred at room temperature and vacuum packaged. In the second trial 50 kg of minced pork meat were contaminated before production of salami. In both cases the inoculum contained 5 strains of <em>L. innocua</em>. Subsequently, in both trials, 10 samples were randomly divided into two groups of 5 pieces each: i) TH group, samples treated with HHP; ii) group C, control samples, not subjected to any treatment. All samples were stored at refrigeration temperature at the end of HHP treatments (if applied), and analyzed for the determination of the surface (1st trial) and deep (2nd trial) quantitative contamination of <em>L. innocua</em>. pH and aW were also determined on 3 pieces of each products belonging to group C. The difference between the medians of the log cfu/cm<sup>2</sup> or g established between controls and treated were compared using the non-parametric test (Kruskal-Wallis test) with P<0.01. In all products and in both trials the level of contamination detected in treatment groups was always significantly lower than in controls (P<0.01). In particular, in vacuum-packaged ham, bacon and salami viability logarithmic viability reductions equal to -2.29, -2.54 and -2.51 were observed, respectively. This study aimed to evaluate a not-thermal treatment on Italian cured or fermented pork products. The results of this study need to be confirmed in different products and in a greater number of lots, but they appear promising, also because of the considerable literature available for different categories of products (cheese, vegetables and fruit).

Full textAbstract:
The ATF case is a succinct opportunity to explore the many special features of leadership succession for a family business. In 2009 the company was passing the baton to the oldest of three sons in the second-generation family business. ATF produced metal and plastic fasteners for, primarily, the automotive industry. ATF had grown into a company with more than $50 million in annual revenues. The company had grown in large part through alliances with other family businesses around the world. First-generation patriarch Don Surber had led the company since he acquired it in 1982. Don was known for his charismatic leadership style and his focus on driving value through a network approach. The case traces the career paths of all three sons and looks at the succession through the eyes of the oldest son, Jason Surber. The elements, constituents, and challenges of succession are evident. The fundamental insight is that business leadership succession is far more than just passing the business leadership baton. It also requires attention to the family, the board, the whole system of external stakeholders, and the future of ownership. The epilogue in this note covers the period from 2009 to 2012 by describing what Jason did to earn credibility, to incorporate his brothers, and to define his personal leadership philosophy and style. The epilogue thus provides students with an opportunity to consider and define their own personal philosophy of management leadership and their own style. They will see the art of melding styles from the past with their own for the future.

Full textAbstract:
Living in the city most people take for granted the convenience of flicking on a light switch or plugging in an appliance. They also expect to be able to call the utility company if there is no heat for the house. Now imagine being responsible for providing all of your survival needs from electricity through waste management. This is off-grid living. The settlers who came here to Canada lived off-grid. Homes were often built of sod, heated with wood-fired stoves, and lit with candles they made themselves. The majority of twenty-first century Canadians would perish in similar living conditions. The Canadian Encyclopaedia in its history of Western and Northwest Canada describes the lives of the pioneer homesteaders who purchased 160 acres of land for $10 and struggled to survive. “Homesteaders and their families were often separated from friends and relatives, and many suffered years of hardship and loneliness. One of the greatest difficulties was the absence of roads and bridges. Most trails were impassable when wet. Medical care was scarce and farm injuries were often crippling or fatal, and many simple ailments caused prolonged hardship. For many settlers the price of homesteading was too high, they cancelled their claims and moved away” (McCracken, 2011). Today, off-grid living is sought out for different reasons. People who decide to live off-grid are often looking for a way to live in harmony with and lessen their impact on the environment. They enjoy a physical challenge, and/or appreciate some solitude. It is possible to lessen reliance on the grid and still live in the city, but it is expensive and more difficult due mainly to regulatory requirements. Since regulations vary widely among municipal jurisdictions the focus of this article is development of an off-grid living facility where municipal services are unavailable. Off-grid living in its simplest form involves finding ways to provide for basic human comforts. “Off-grid also means not using or depending on public utilities, especially the supply of electricity,” (Oxford Dictionary, 2011). For many people who are living this lifestyle it also involves growing food, raising chickens for eggs and meat, goats or cows for milk, and pigs for pork, bacon and ham. Off-grid living also means changing lifestyle to suit the season. Spring is planting season and that is the focus of activity. Summer means long days and a chance to build and do maintenance and time to cut, split and stack next year’s firewood if the primary source of heat is wood-burning stoves. Fall is harvest time with its many hours of work preserving the food. Winter is for cocooning and making plans for the next growing season. If power generation is solar based, it probably means going to bed early and sleeping later to conserve energy. A Personal Choice to Live Sustainably The author and some of his family are in the process of developing a multigenerational home site on ten acres of forested property on the North Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, Canada. This article presents information that a family needs to consider when deciding to live off-grid. It then presents a case study of the decisions, considerations, and expectations that the author’s family encountered when building the home site; including real-world suggestions and solutions based on primary research done by the family members. It also gives some site-specific details of that ongoing work.

Full textAbstract:
There are differences in the way people perceive the role of women and men in business. The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of male or female leaders on two business families in Indonesia. The success of the family company cannot be separated from the role of the first generation in trusting future generations to continue their family business. A qualitative approach was used, where the data were collected through interviews with two family companies with different generations of successors. One family company has a female successor generation and another family company has a male successor. The findings showed that the first generation trusted from an early age and involved the second generation in the family business, whether their children were girls or boys. In fact, all succeeded in taking over the baton of leadership. An interesting finding is that even though the next generation is female and handles welding, which is more commonly done by men, thanks to the trust given by their parents, this next generation would be more masculine in order to gain legitimacy from employees who have worked for a long time in the company. This is as good as the next generation of men in other family companies.

Full textAbstract:
In the context of the development of the SIX© Ion exchange process, the Dutch water company (PWN) decided to investigate options for treatment of the brine arising from the regeneration of the resin. Main goals for the brine treatment are volume reduction and product recovery (water + NaCl). In this regard a biological denitrification (DNF) aiming at total nitrate removal followed by a nanofiltration (NF) aiming at ion separation (monovalent/bivalent) focused on NaCl re-use were implemented on a pilot scale recovering 80% of the total SIX brine (implying 80%recovery of NaCl). Further NF concentrate minimization and Sodium Chloride reclamation would allow a reduction of the disposal fees and chemical uses and therefore largely increase the overall process sustainability. During operation on a pilot scale with a capacity of 250l/h, the Dynamic Vapour Recompression (DVR) technology has proved itself to be capable to reduce the raw regenerate another 6 to 10 times reaching meanwhile the solubility limits of NaCl and other salts making their recovery on a solid stream possible. The condensate that resides after DVR treatment is low contaminated and is therefore suitable for re-injection upstream the SIX pre-treatment process. Laboratory scale evaporation tests showed that salts would precipitate according to the following order: BaSO4 >BaCO3 > MgSO4 > MgCO3 >CaCO3 > CaSO4 > Na2CO3 > Na2SO4 and NaCl. A sequenced thickening by DVR treatment leads to selective precipitation of BaSO4, BaCO3, MgCO3, CaCO3 and CaSO4 at concentration factor around 8 but beyond a CF of 10 it leads to a more or less simultaneous precipitation of NaCl, Na2CO3 and Na2SO4 without fouling/clogging problems of the DVR. A reuse of a heterogeneous (co)precipitate solid fraction is difficult; however this problem could be countered by further investigation on a temperature controlled precipitation of Na2CO3 and Na2SO4. Cooling down the DVR brine saturated in dissolved sodium chloride, sulphate and bicarbonate to a temperature of 5 °C increases solubility differences between sodium chloride and its two contaminants, making their separation possible.

The article considers the main historical milestones in the development of the Kursk-Kharkov-Azov railway, going from Kursk through Belgorod to the Rostov station, the Kharkov-Balashov railway passing through the district towns of Valuyki and Biryuch, Voronezh province, and the Yelets-Valuysky railway passing through the cities of Stary Oskol and Novy Oskol, the junction station of Valuyki, Kursk province, private Belgorod - Sumy railway, passing through the nodes of the Gotnyu station to Basy station in the Sumy region, Lgovo - Kharkov line north- Donetsk Railway, also passes through the nodal Gotnya station and Kharkov. Subsequently, these railways, built on the territory of modern Belgorod region in the period from the 19th to the beginning of the 20th centuries, became part of the Southeast Railway. The old historical buildings that have survived to this day on railway stations are explored at the junction stations, such as: Belgorod station, Botkino station, Nezhegol station, Tomarovka station, Sumovskaya station, Gotnya station. Historical and archival materials about the main customers and builders of the Belgorod railways of the South-East direction are studied and analyzed: founder S. S. Polyakov, Prince F. Yusupov, founders M. Tereshchenko and P. Kharitonenko, railway engineers: V. S. Semicheva, M. A. Danilove, P. P. Solntsevo, Baron K. F. von Taube, F. A. Ditmar, P. M. Sveshnikov, engineer - tracker I. A. Sumovsky, prospectors: V. A. Panaev, N I. Antonov, V.F. Golubev. The architectural and stylistic features of the preserved buildings of the station, their space-planning and space-spatial solutions are analyzed.
In accordance with the Company policy of the Joint Stock Company «Russian Railways» for the preservation of historical station buildings and within the framework of historical, architectural, comparative and visual landscape analyzes, the ways of further research and development of methods for the possible conservation of historical buildings of railway station complexes of the 19th - early 20th centuries and their adaptations for modern use are defined

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore Vietnamese educators’ perspectives regarding the feasibility of implementing a U.S. Regional Accreditation standard (“Institutional Effectiveness”) in the current Vietnamese higher education accreditation standards. An Institutional Effectiveness (IE) Process (Strategic Planning-Planning and Assessment- Operational Planning) and Assessment Cycle (Program Learning Outcomes-Curriculum Map-Assessment Methods-Data Collection-Actions for Improvement) served as the conceptual framework for this study. The qualitative research design involved interviews with seven Vietnamese educators who work in centers for accreditation and offices of quality assurance in Vietnamese universities. Findings indicated that all participants supported the implementation of an IE standard and Assessment Cycle in Vietnamese higher education accreditation. Findings also stated that currently the IE Process and Assessment Cycle are not fully implemented in Vietnam higher education accreditation. The Vietnamese higher education institutions (HEIs) did not have a supportive culture of strategic planning due to centralized management by the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET). Moreover, most universities were only familiar with the first two steps in the Assessment Cycle. Based on the research findings, recommendations for the implementation of IE process and Assessment Cycle are made for MOET, Centers for Accreditation and Vietnamese HEIs.

Full textAbstract:
The first Portuguese pioneers who entered the newly discovered Brazilian lands were not succesful inthe prospection of precious metals and stones. The primitive inhabitants were not enough cultivated toextract the metals from the rocks. They lived in the stone age yet. They became the sole valuable productof the “entradas” ventures. The mining in Brazil started when, in the end of the XVIII century, goldplacers were found in the lands which were later named Minas Gerais.The beginnings were terrible. The rich placers were depredated, the environment heavily spoiled byunskilled and thoughtless miners.The Portuguese royal authorities tried to recuperate the mining activities by sending to Minas Geraisthe German Metallurgical Technician, the baron W.L. von Eschwege who did a great effort to improve thegold and diamond mining works and to create alternative metallurgical undertakings.During the Imperial Times, several English ventures were organized to continue exploiting gold depositsin Minas Gerais. The majority failled being succesfull. English capital left Brazil when the South Africangold rush started in 1886.By 1910, American entrepreneurs tried to exploit the rich iron ore deposits found in the heart ofMinas Gerais state. Political controversy prevented the American from implanting the projected iron oreundertakings. Now, looking far back, some doubts remain about the feasibility of the proposed ventures.The year of 1934 marked important dates for the Brazilian mining legal structure. In 1942 werecreated the Companhia Vale do Rio Doce and the Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional.In the second half of the 1960 decade started the best times for the Brazilian mining, but by 1982 thepolitical and economical turmoils reverted the trend. Wild gold rush bursted out with great politicalsupport.In 1988 a constitutional assembly elaborated a new Charter in which foreign capital was forbidden tocontrol a mining company and the wild mining activities were deserved an encourageous treatment.Minas Gerais has always been in the heart of old mining history. This prominent position was affectedwhen the Carajás district came upon. Nobody may say this trend will be reverted.
