    The purpose of this study is to determine how the implementation of trategy Department of Cleanness an Gardens in solving cleanes problems at Pekanbaru City. Pekanbaru City won a competiton as the cleaness city in Indonesia. Pekanbaru also got trophies seven times continuosly. But in this few years, it couldnt be gotten anymore. Base on the result of this research, it found some factors that influence the implementing the Department of Cleanness an Dardens. Those are the highest number of society, work motivation, lowest of awareness society, the lowest society motivation, loweat control, in last the tools and medium. This research was done in Pekanbaru city. It in Department of Cleanness an Gardens exactly. The population and sample in this research are personnel or employee of Department of Cleanness an Dardens the technique of collecting sample used snowball sampling. The technique of collecting datas used the method of observation, interview and documentation after the data was collected. After coleecting the datas, it is analyzed by using descriptive qualitative analyzed. After doing this research, it found that the implementation strategy of Department of Cleanness an Gardens in solving cleaness problem in Pekanbaru City still did not maximal yet. The strategy of controlling the cleaness is still did not do well. It because the strategies are difficult to implement couse of some problems.Keywords: strategy, controlling of cleaness, factors, implementation

    Neste trabalho identificou-se a diversidade de espécies vegetais e animais, e seus usos em quintais agroflorestais situados em propriedades de agricultores familiares no Nordeste Paraense. O estudo foi desenvolvido no âmbito do projeto ?Conservação e recuperação de áreas degradadas em unidades de produção agrícola familiar na Amazônia Oriental Brasileira - INOVAGRI?, financiado pela Organização Internacional de Madeira Tropical ? OIMT. As informações foram coletadas por meio de entrevista semi-estruturada, travessia de quintais, observação direta e registro fotográfico. Foram identificadas 120 espécies vegetais e quatro animais, pertencentes a 61 famílias. Sobre as espécies vegetais, observou-se que 55 (45%) são de uso alimentar, 28 (23%) medicinais e 37 (30%) ornamentais, destacando-se as famílias Araceae (8 espécies), Rutaceae (7), e Anacardiaceae (5). As frutíferas representam 32% do total das espécies cultivadas nos quintais, o que demonstra a sua importância na segurança alimentar das famílias.Editores técnicos: Roberto Porro, Milton Kanashiro, Maria do Socorro Gonçalves Ferreira, Leila Sobral Sampaio e Gladys Ferreira de Sousa

    European spaces and the Roma: Denaturalizing the naturalized in online reader comments

    Get PDF
    With the entry of several Eastern European nations into the European Union (EU), a “third” space has developed in the discourse for nations perceived as not fully integrated “inside” the EU system. This article investigates the construction of this “third space” in the resultant “moral panic” about undesired immigration from other EU countries and its potential drain on the social services of the United Kingdom and links it to Euroskeptic discourse in British media. The article uses construal operations from cognitive linguistics combined with critical discourse studies as a way of denaturalizing the discourse in online comments that focus on the Bulgarian/Romanian immigration issue which we then connect to anti-Roma discourse. Results reveal a view of the United Kingdom as contaminated by Roma and underscore the need for novel metaphors to be countered before they become entrenched and used as tools for political propaganda

    Effects of Lewis Number on Temperatures of Spherical Diffusion Flames

    Get PDF
    Spherical diffusion flames supported on a porous sphere were studied numerically and experimentally. Experiments were performed in 2.2 s and 5.2 s microgravity facilities. Numerical results were obtained from a Chemkin-based program. The program simulates flow from a porous sphere into a quiescent environment, yields both steady-state and transient results, and accounts for optically thick gas-phase radiation. The low flow velocities and long residence times in these diffusion flames lead to enhanced radiative and diffusive effects. Despite similar adiabatic flame temperatures, the measured and predicted temperatures varied by as much as 700 K. The temperature reduction correlates with flame size but characteristic flow times and, importantly, Lewis number also influence temperature. The numerical results show that the ambient gas Lewis number would have a strong effect on flame temperature if the flames were steady and nonradiating. For example, a 10% decrease in Lewis number would increase the steady-state flame temperature by 200 K. However, for these transient, radiating flames the effect of Lewis number is small. Transient predictions of flame sizes are larger than those observed in microgravity experiments. Close agreement could not be obtained without either increasing the model s thermal and mass diffusion properties by 30% or reducing mass flow rate by 25%

    Surfactant-mediated variation of band-edge emission in CdS nanocomposites

    The optical-structural characteristics of the direct optical band-gap semiconducting series of surfactant template-mediated laminar (CdS)x(CdCl2)y(CnH2n+4N)z nanocomposites are reported. X-ray diffraction measurements of the nanocomposites exhibited interlaminar distances in the range 2.9-3.6 nm with observations of eighth order {0 0 l} diffraction planes indicative of a high degree of laminarity and crystallographic order. Diffuse reflectance measurements have determined that the profile of their emission spectrum is that of a direct band-gap with absorption edges in the range 2.11-2.40 eV, depending on the CdS mole fraction in the nanocomposite. Photoluminescence (PL) excitation and time-resolved PL spectroscopies give an estimate of the maximum relative absorbance of the nanocomposites at ∼420 nm while the minimum was observed at ∼560 nm. The main emission was observed at ∼700 nm with emission from doubly ionized sulphur vacancies observed at ∼615 nm at room temperature. The CdS-containing nanocomposite is thus a surfactant-mediated modular system with variable band-gap energy emission

    Two-photon Lithography for 3D Magnetic Nanostructure Fabrication

    Ferromagnetic materials have been utilised as recording media within data storage devices for many decades. Confinement of the material to a two dimensional plane is a significant bottleneck in achieving ultra-high recording densities and this has led to the proposition of three dimensional (3D) racetrack memories that utilise domain wall propagation along nanowires. However, the fabrication of 3D magnetic nanostructures of complex geometry is highly challenging and not easily achievable with standard lithography techniques. Here, by using a combination of two-photon lithography and electrochemical deposition, we show a new approach to construct 3D magnetic nanostructures of complex geometry. The magnetic properties are found to be intimately related to the 3D geometry of the structure and magnetic imaging experiments provide evidence of domain wall pinning at a 3D nanostructured junction

    A Drosophila Model of Essential Tremor

    Get PDF
    This is the final version. Available on open access from Nature Research via the DOI in this recordEssential Tremor (ET) is one of the most common neurological diseases, with an estimated 7 million affected individuals in the US; the pathophysiology of the disorder is poorly understood. Recently, we identified a mutation (KCNS2 (Kv9.2), c.1137 T > A, p.(D379E) in an electrically silent voltage-gated K+ channel α-subunit, Kv9.2, in a family with ET, that modulates the activity of Kv2 channels. We have produced transgenic Drosophila lines that express either the human wild type Kv9.2 (hKv9.2) or the ET causing mutant Kv9.2 (hKv9.2-D379E) subunit in all neurons. We show that the hKv9.2 subunit modulates activity of endogenous Drosophila K+ channel Shab. The mutant hKv9.2-D379E subunit showed significantly higher levels of Shab inactivation and a higher frequency of spontaneous firing rate consistent with neuronal hyperexcitibility. We also observed behavioral manifestations of nervous system dysfunction including effects on night time activity and sleep. This functional data further supports the pathogenicity of the KCNS2 (p.D379E) mutation, consistent with our prior observations including co-segregation with ET in a family, a likely pathogenic change in the channel pore domain and absence from population databases. The Drosophila hKv9.2 transgenic model recapitulates several features of ET and may be employed to advance our understanding of ET disease pathogenesis.National Institutes of Health (NIH)Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC
