Two Stories of King Midas in the Judeo-Spanish Speaking World: Isak Papo and Matilda Koén-Sarano’s Versions of the ATU782 «Midas and the Donkey’s Ears», and ATU775 «Midas’ Short-sighted Wish» / Dos cuentos del rey Midas en la tradición oral judeoespañola: las versiones de Isak Papo y Matilda Koén-Sarano del ATU782 «Midas y las orejas de asno» y ATU775 «El rey Midas y el toque de oro»

This paper examines two tale-types classified as ATU782 «Midas and the Donkey’s Ears», and ATU775 «Midas’ Short-sighted Wish» in the Judeo-Spanish speaking-world. The two examples, one from Bosnia recorded by Isak Papo and the other from Greece collected by Matilda Koén-Sarano, constitute rare examples of these tale-types in the Ladino language and clearly show how the Sephardic tradition continued to evolve in the late twentieth century by appropriating new elements hitherto unseen in the lore. I underscore how these two tales were domesticated to the Sephardic environment and in addition highlight the attempt made by the aforesaid tradition to introduce substantial changes in the core of both tales albeit with different outcomes.En este artículo se analizan los dos tipos de cuentos conocidos como ATU782 «Midas y las orejas de asno», y ATU775 «El rey Midas y el toque de oro» entre los hablantes de judeoespañol. Los dos ejemplos incluidos aquí —uno procedente de Bosnia y publicado por Isak Papo, y el otro de Grecia recogido por Matilda Koén-Sarano— representan ejemplos de estos cuentos, raros en la lengua judeoespañola, y muestran claramente cómo la tradición sefardí continuó su desarrollo hasta finales del siglo XX, incorporando nuevos elementos que no existían en la tradición anterior. Me centro en subrayar cómo estos cuentos han sido adaptados al entorno sefardí y cómo se han introducido cambios sustanciales en el núcleo de ambos, con resultados diferentes

Prinos zrna ozime pšenice u dugotrajnoj monokulturi

This paper deals with the results of effects of continuous cropping system on grain yield of winter wheat in fifteen - year period (1991/92 – 2005/06). The trial was set up on the chernozem luvic soil type in Radmilovac, experimental field of Faculty of Agriculture, Belgrade University. Meteorological conditions had significant effect on grain yield of winter wheat, especially distribution of precipitation. The obtained results show that grain yield of winter wheat increased in the first four years but constantly was decreasing in second part of this experiment (last 11 years). The effect of continuous cropping had the highest effect in the second period of this investigation. Average decrease of grain yield was 131.5 kg per hectare on the basis of linear trend equation (ŷi=4,872 – 0,1315 ti). On the basis of time series analysis, can be concluded that there is statistically very significant long-term tendency of yield decreasing of winter wheat.Početak zemljoradnje bio je vezan za iskorišćavanje poljoprivrednih zemljišta bez ikakvog sistema. Sa porastom broja stanovnika, rasla je potreba za hranom a samim tim i za intenzivnijim korišćenjem zemljišnih površina, odnosno planiranom smenom useva u vremenu i prostoru. Međutim, pored pravilne smene useva u vremenu i prostoru, čovek je i u početku, a i sada, vrlo često primoran na gajenje jednog useva iz godine u godinu na istom polju. Osnovni razlozi zbog kojih se monokultura dugo održavala, a prisutna je i danas, jesu nedostatak obradivih površina i proizvodna orjentacija gazdinstva. Dominacija kukuruza i pšenice u setvenoj strukturi u Srbiji uglavnom uslovljava gajenje ovih useva u monokulturi ili u klasičnom dvopoljnom plodoredu. Osnovni nedostatak gajenja ozime pšenice u monokulturi jeste opadanje prinosa zrna, kao posledica malaksalosti ili premorenosti zemljišta. U ovom radu je ispitivan uticaj gajenja ozime pšenice u dugotrajnoj monokulturi, na zemljištu tipa izluženi černozem. Petnaestogodišnji period u kome su mereni prinosi zrna, na oglednom školskom dobru Poljoprivrednog fakulteta (Radmilovcu), je od 1992-2006. godine. Na osnovu analize vremenske serije, došlo se do zaključka da postoji statistički vrlo značajna dugoročna ustaljena tendencija opadanja prinosa zrna ozime pšenice. Jednačina linearnog trenda (ŷi=4,872 – 0,1315 ti) pokazuje da prosečno godišnje opadanje prinosa zrna pšenice, gajene u monokulturi iznosi 0,1315 t/ha

Uticaj produžnog dejstva meliorativne obrade zemljišta na razvoj korenovog sistema, morfološke i produktivne osobine ozime pšenice

The paper deals with subsequently effect of ameliorative tillage on the dynamics of some important productive morphology and productive characteristic in winter wheat. The trial was carried-out at the Maize Research Institute "Zemun Polje" experimental fields in Krnjesevci near Belgrade on meadows chernozem soil type during 2009/10. The following ameliorative and conventional tillage systems were included in investigation: 1. Ameliorative tillage system includes new types machines for field systematization-scrapers (USM 5) in autumn, drainage plow on the depth 60-80cm, and sub-soiling with heavy vibratory sub-soiler VR 5 on 30-35cm depth. After basic tillage we prepared soil for seeding with preparation by disking and harrowing 2. Control variant without ameliorative measures. The following morphological and productive properties of winter wheat were studied: root biomass, stalk height, head, ear number, and grain yield. Ameliorative tillage systems had subsequently effects for all investigated morphology properties on this heavy soil type. Many of them are important for productive properties were statistically significant compared with control. Ameliorative tillage system increase significantly grain yield of winter wheat kg/ha compared with control.Ispitivanje uticaja sistema meliorativne obrade zemljišta zasnovanog na novim konstrukcionim rešenjima i tehnologiji (ravnanje zemljišta+podrivanje krtičnim plugom+vibraciono razrivačko oruđe) tokom 2008/09, odnosno njegovog produžnog dejstva na morfološke i produktivne osobine ozime pšenice obavljeno je na imanju Instituta za kukuruz "Zemun Polje" u Krnješevcima u 2009/10. godini. Pratili smo uticaj produžnog dejstva meliorativnog sistema obrade zemljišta na važnije morfološke osobine ozime pšenice u dva roka, u bokorenju i u klasanju. Na kraju vegetacionog perioda pred žetvu uzeli smo uzorke za prinos zrna i druge morfološke karakteristike. Nasuprot meliorisanoj površini imali smo kontrolnu površinu. Primenjene meliorativne mere mere imale su pozitivan uticaj odnosno produžno dejstvo osetilo se i u drugoj godini posle primene što se vidi iz rezultata prinosa zrna ozime pšenice koji je veći za 620 kg/ha u poređenju sa prinosom sa kontrolne varijante

Association between risk factors, basal viral load, virus genotype and the degree of liver fibrosis with the response to the therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection

© 2015, Institut za Vojnomedicinske Naucne Informacije/Documentaciju. All rights reserved. Background/Aim. Hepatitis C is an important sociomedical problem worldwide due to frequent progression to chronic dis-ease, occurrence of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Standard pegylated interferon alfa 2a plus ribavirin therapy results in resolution of infection only in 50% of patients. The aim of this study was to determine the association of various factors with re-sponse to the therapy in patients with chronic heptitis C virus (HCV) infection. Age and sex of patients, inoculation risk factors, histopathological changes in the liver, viral load and HCV geno-type were analyzed. Methods. The study included a group of 121 patients with chronic HCV infection. The treatment was carried out 24 weeks for virus genotype 2 and 3, and 48 weeks for geno-type 1 and 4. The degree of histopathological changes in the liver was determined by hematoxylin and eosin staining, whereas polimerase chain reaction was used for HCV genotyping. Results. In the group of non-responding patients genotype 1 was repre-sented with 100%, while in the other groups, although predomi-nantly present, its percentage was lower. Unresponsiveness to therapy and relapse of disease were associated with higher viral load and advanced fibrosis. Intravenous use of psychoactive sub-stances, as a risk factor, was present in a high percentage in the group of patients with sustained response, while blood transfusion and dialysis were leading risk factors in the group of relapse re-sponders and non-responders. Conclusion. The results of our study showed that the treatment outcome of chronic HCV infec-tion was associated with baseline HCV ribonucleic acid, HCV genotype, route of infection and the degree of histopathological changes in the liver

Uticaj tehnologije gajenja na prinos ozime pšenice

This paper deals with result of the effects of different technologies on grain yield of winter wheat in investigated period (1999/00-2001/02) on the chernozem luvic soil type. Tillage systems and fertilization with nitrogen fertilizers in applied technologies have a big influence on grain yield of winter wheat. The results of our investigation show that yield grain of winter wheat was higher 11.65% in technologies which included mulch tillage system then conventional technologies. Technology with no tillage system decreased grain yield of winter wheat. Amounts of inorganic nitrogen fertilizers as main factor have effect on the grain yield of winter wheat. Grain yield increased with the level of inorganic nitrogen.U radu je ispitivan uticaj tri tehnologije gajenja ozime pšenice (konvencionalne i dve konzervacijske) na prinos zrna ozime pšenice sorte Pobeda. Ispitivanje je obavljeno na "Radmilovcu" eksperimentalnom dobru Poljoprivrednog fakulteta u Zemunu na zemljištu tipa izluženog černozema u trogodišnjem periodu (1999/2000-2001/2002. g.). Tehnologija gajenja ozime pšenice koja uključuje konzervacijski sistem obrade zemljišta sa čizel plugom i različitim nivoima prihranjivanja azotom pokazao je niz prednosti u odnosu na tehnologiju gajenja sa konvencionalnom obradom raoničnim plugom i u odnosu na tehnologiju gajenja sa direktnom setvom. Najveći prinosi ozime pšenice dobijeni su u tehnologiji gajenja sa konzervacijskom obradom zemljišta. Prinos zrna pšenice u tehnologiji gajenja sa zaštitnom obradom zemljišta bio je značajno veći u trogodišnjem proseku za 11.65% od prinosa u konvencionalnoj tehnologiji, a vrlo značajno veći za 26.17% od konzervacijske tehnologije gajenja koja uključuje direktnu setvu. Prihranjivanje sa količinom od 60 kg/ha uticalo je na povećanje prinosa prosečno za 20,44%, a sa 120 kg/ha za 24.73%, u odnosu na kontrolu bez prihranjivanja

Flexible GPS/GPRS based System for Parameters Monitoring in the District Heating System

Energy consumption for heating purposes accounts for a significant part of the budgets of individual and collective users. This increases the importance of issues related to the monitoring of heating energy flows, analysis of flow parameters, verification of fees and, in the first place, minimization of energy consumption. The goal of this paper is to develop, by employing Global Positioning System receivers, measurement techniques that are suited to the continuous monitoring of the heating substation parameters. This paper presents the design and implementation of GPS/GPRS (Global Positioning System/General Packet Radio Service) system for low power data acquisition using MSP430 Texas Instruments microcontroller for monitoring of the heating substation parameters. The system is implemented in heating stations for a temperature and pressure monitoring. It contains GPS/GPRS gateway and 8 analog sensor inputs. Acquisition module and the server base station are suitable for industrial applications, home applications and for other appliances. The proposed measurement procedures, which are different from commercially available measurement units, are based on general-purpose acquisition hardware and processing software, thus guaranteeing the possibility of being easily reconfigured and reprogrammed according to the specific requirements of different possible fields of application and to their future developments

Uticaj meliorativne obrade zemljišta na razvoj korenovog sistema, zakorovljenost, morfološke i produktivne osobine suncokreta i kukuruza

The paper deals with the effects of ameliorative tillage on the dynamics of some important productive morphologic characteristic in two crops sunflower and maize. The trial was caried-out at the Maize Research Institute "Zemun Polje" experimental fields in village Krnjesevci on meadows chernozem soil type. The folowing ameliorative and conventional tillage systems were included in ivestigations: 1. Ameliorativel tillage system - (ATS) – includes new types machines for field sistematisation-scrapers (USM 5) in autamn, drainage plow on the depth 60-80 cm, and subsoiling with heavy vibratory subsoiler VR 5. on 30-35 cm depth. After basic tillage we prepared soil for seeding with preparation by disking and harrowing 2. Conventional tillage - (CT) - in this case includes ploughing to the depth of 30- 35cm + presowing preparation by disking and harrowing The folowing morfological and productive properties were studied: root distribution, biomass stalk, leafs, head of sunflower, ear maize, and grain yield in two growth stages at the end vegetative and in full reproductive growth stages. Ameliorative tillage systems had better effect for all investigated morfological properties on this heavy soil type. Many of them are important for productive properties was statistically signifficant compared with control (CT). Ameliorative tillage system increase significantly grain yield sunflower (274 kg/ha, and maize 629 kg/ha compared with conventional tillage systems on control variants.Razvoj oruđa za meliorativnu obradu zemljišta poslednje dve decenije doživljava veliki napredak. Sa ovim oruđima izvodi se obrada na teškim zemljištima dubokog profila, često sa nepropusnim slojevima ispod orničnog. Dilema da li prevrtati masu zemljišta ili je dubinski rastresati zavisi od konkretnih osobina zemljišnog tipa. Ako je u pitanju zemljište sa nepovoljnim podorničnim slojem treba izbeći prevrtanje i dati prednost rastresanju. Ispitivanje uticaja sistema meliorativne obrade zemljišta zasnovanog na novim konstrukcionim rešenjima i tehnologiji (ravnanje zemljišta+podrivanje krtičnim plugom+vibraciono razrivačko oruđe) na floristički sastav korovske sinuzije, morfološka i produktivna svojstva suncokreta i kukuruza obavljeno je na imanju Instituta za kukuruz "Zemun Polje" u Krnješevcima tokom 2007. i 2008. godine. Pratili smo uticaj meliorativnog sistema obrade zemljišta na važnije morfološke osobine suncokreta i kukuruza (masu korena, stabla, lista i reproduktivnih organa, glavice kod suncokreta klipa i metlice kod kukuruza) u njihovim značajnim fazama porasta, na kraju vegetativne i u punoj reproduktivnoj. Na kraju vegetacionog perioda posle žetve odnosno berbe utvrdili smo prinos zrna suncokreta i kukuruza. Nasuprot meliorisanoj površini imali smo kontrolnu površinu sa ista dva useva na kojoj je izvedena samo konvencionalna osnovna obrada raoničnim plugom, a predsetvena tanjiračom i drljačom bez meliorativne obrade. Primenjene mere imale su pozitivan uticaj na praćene morfološke i produktivne osobine useva kukuruza i suncokreta. Dobijeno je statistički vrlo signifikantno povećanje prinosa zrna suncokreta za 274 kg/ha i kukuruza za 629 kg/ha u poređenju sa kontrolom gde nisu izvedene meliorativne mere. Ključne reči:, ,
