«Mapuche se es también en la waria (ciudad)». Disputas en torno a lo rural, lo urbano y lo indígena en la Argentina

El campo y la ciudad no constituyen meramente espacios fisicos con determinadas caracteristicas distintivas, sino a su vez espacios simbolicos historica y hegemonicamente construidos como opuestos. En Argentina, dicho esquema ha dejado su impronta en los discursos y politicas estatales, tanto nacionales como provinciales, respecto de los pueblos indigenas2. Desde una perspectiva esencialista de las pertenencias e identidades, se ha instituido la vida rural como condicion necesaria del «autentico» indigena. No en vano, el primer y unico Censo Indigena Nacional se implemento visitando solo comunidades rurales en determinadas provincias del pais. Aun gozando de fuerte consenso, tal reduccion forma parte de procesos de construccion de hegemonia, entendida como un cuerpo de practicas y significados continuamente renovado, recreado, defendido, resistido, desafiado y modificado. El presente trabajo se centra entonces en las disputas en torno a la relacion entre lo rural, lo urbano y lo indigena en el contexto argentino. Partiendo del proceso de incorporacion/ subordinacion de los pueblos indigenas al Estado nacional, explora diversas producciones recientes de sujetos y agencias del pueblo mapuche que cuestionan, reformulan y/ o subvierten las representaciones instituidas.
Genetic diversity within and gene flow between three draught horse breeds using genealogical information

Three draught horse breeds are maintained in the Czech Republic: the Silesian Noriker (SN), the Noriker (N), and the Czech-Moravian Belgian (CMB). Because the SN and CMB populations are currently closed to outside breeding and are endangered (Genetic Resources), the loss of the genetic variation these horses represent is concerning. Genetic diversity within and between these three breeds and their population structures was analyzed based on pedigree information. Our goal was to identify and quantify factors that affected their genetic variability. The effective population size was analyzed in each breed. The numbers of generations were 22, 32, and 32 for the SN, N, and CMB breeds, respectively, with average equivalent known generations of 9.81, 8.45, and 8.91, respectively. The effective numbers of founders and ancestors contributing to the current genetic pool were, respectively, 69.42 and 22.32 for the SN breed, 98.48 and 42.20 for the N breed, and 43.33 and 23.32 for the CMB breed. The average inbreeding coefficients were 4.6%, 2%, and 4% for the SN, N, and CMB breeds, respectively, and the average inbreeding rate was 0.5% for the SN and CMB breeds and 0.2% for the N breed. The corresponding estimates of effective population size were 95, 195, and 101 for the SN, N, and CMB breeds, respectively. These statistics suggest that the genetic variability has decreased, and without changes in breeding strategy the genetic variability might continue to decline. Using genealogical F-statistics, small genetic differences were identified between the analyzed populations (FST = 0.02).
International Negotiations in the Shadow of National Elections

Abstract This study examines the role elections play in negotiations between states and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Although loans made by the IMF often require countries to introduce painful austerity measures that provoke a backlash from angry citizens, some governments are able to negotiate more favorable terms than others. Original data on the substantive content of IMF loans show that governments leverage imminent elections to obtain more lenient loan terms. Conditions that require labor market reforms in exchange for IMF financing are relatively less stringent in loans negotiated within six months before a pending democratic election, all else equal. The further away elections are from loan negotiations, the more stringent the labor conditions included in countries’ loan programs. Elections give governments leverage in their international negotiations and this leverage is effective even when states negotiate with unelected bureaucrats during times of economic crisis.
Trust, Race, and Welfare Reform in the American States

Scholars are rediscovering the social context of politics and governing, including race, trust, and, if recent elections are a guide, America’s “culture wars. ” Social capital that network of social relations and the accompanying norms of trust and reciprocity is very much to the point of those dynamics. Evidence from the first round of welfare reform in the late 1990s is used to explore the relationship between elements of social capital, race and state welfare policy choices. The evidence from the welfare case suggests that one element of social capital, generalized trust, often has an independent effect on welfare policies. States with higher levels of trust are more likely to adopt welfare policies that rely on “carrots” rather than “sticks” to move individuals off welfare and into jobs. At the same time the evidence makes it clear that the influence of trust is very much conditioned by racial considerations, most notably the racial composition of welfare caseloads.
Network Security Situation Prediction Based on Adaptive Clustering RBF Network

Proposed is an algorithm for network security situation prediction (NSSP) based on adaptive clustering radical basis function (RBF) neural network. Experiment results show that, the proposed method not only reflects the general trend of network security situation, but also improves the prediction accuracy. Introduction Network security situation awareness(NSSA)is a technique that aims at providing the network entity with the ability to access, understand, and predict its security elements. It offers strategies to deal with network security threats and provides new ideas to build a seamless network security system [1, 2]. To solve such technical problems of NSSA, and achieve a higher accuracy on predicting the network security situation awareness, this paper proposes an adaptive clustering RBF network security situation prediction method. RBF Network Model A typical structure of an RBF network is shown in Fig.1
Performance of the White method for estimating groundwater evapotranspiration under conditions of deep and fluctuating groundwater

The White method is a simple but the most frequently applied approach to estimate groundwater evapotranspiration (ETg) from groundwater level diurnal signals. Because of a lack of direct measurements of ETg, it is difficult to evaluate the performance of the White method, particularly in field environments with variable groundwater fluctuations. A 2‐year field observation in a hyper‐arid riparian tamarisk (Tamarix spp.) stand with deep groundwater depth in the lower Tarim River basin of China was conducted to measure the surface evapotranspiration (ETs) and groundwater table. The performance of the White method and the influences of the variable groundwater fluctuations on the determinations of the specific yield (Sy) and recharge rate of groundwater (r) in the White method were investigated. The results showed that the readily available Sy determined by Loheide's method was feasible but must be finely determined based on the soil textures in the layers in which the groundwater level fluctuated. A constant Sy value for a defined porous medium could be assumed regardless of the discharge or recharge processes of groundwater. The time span of 0000 h to 0600 h for r estimation for the White method worked best than other time spans. A 2‐day moving average of r values further enhance ETg estimation. Slight effects of environmental or anthropogenic disturbances on the diurnal fluctuations of groundwater level did not influence the ETg estimations by the White method. Our results provide valuable references to the application of the White method for estimating daily ETg in desert riparian forests with deep groundwater depth.

P o S ( N L S 1 ) 0 0 7 Variability , Optical – to – X-ray slope and accretion disc properties in a sample of Seyfert 1 AGN

We present early results from an analysis of variability in t he optical–to–X-ray spectral index, αOX, in sample of 97 Seyfert 1–1.2 AGN. Simultaneous SEDs from XMM-Newton(PN and Optical Monitor instruments) are used to determine αOX and related SED parameters, using accretion disc model fits and accounting for intrinsic dust extinction . Our work supports the idea that the greater variability inαOX seen in Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 AGN (NLS1s) is driven primaril y by changes in the corona, not the accretion disc. We confirm that NLS1s are accreting at high Eddington ratios, and also find higher peak temperatures in the ir accretion discs. We discuss the desirability of being able to constrain the inner radius of t he accretion disc in a large sample of Broadand Narrow-line Seyfert 1s, but this is currently dif ficult to do in large samples with the data available.
Situating organisational learning and public participation: stories, spaces and connections

This paper gives one of the first in-depth ethnographic accounts of organisational learning in a public participation organisation, the UK Government-funded Sciencewise programme. It develops the concept of ‘organisational spaces’, highlighting the often diverse spaces found within organisational networks, and positing a co-productionist relationship between these different spaces and the kinds of learning processes that occur. The approach taken affirms the significant and active role of space in organisational learning processes, in a science policy context, as well as demonstrating the importance of connections between different organisational spaces in enabling more transformative learning processes. Two organisational spaces are described based on in-depth ethnographic and qualitative research in and around the Sciencewise programme 2013–2014. It is argued that informal, temporary and experimental organisational spaces have the potential to co-produce more transformative instances of learning, making an understanding of their connectedness to more formal and routinised organisational spaces vital for future research.
Finite Difference Time Domain Method for the Analysis of Transient Grounding Resistance of Buried Thin Wires

− For the analysis of grounding resistance with the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method for solving Maxwell's equations, an equivalent radius of a naked thin wire in a lossy medium is derived by means of the static field approximation, proposed for derivation of that of an aerial thin wire. It is 0.23 times the size of each cell employed, which is the same as that of an aerial thin wire. The validity is tested by comparing the grounding-resistance values obtained through FDTD simulation on simple buried structures with the theoretical values.
A key to ageing goslings of the Hawaiian Goose Branta sandvicensis

The pattern of feather emergence in the goslings of captive Hawaiian Geese, or Nene, was photographed and scored visually to provide a guide for ageing goslings in the wild. The mean age at fledging was 68 days (range 58-77) and the mean age at which the juveniles took on an adult appearance was 137 days (range 199-150). The ability to determine the age of Nene goslings will enable field researchers to keep track of wild broods, thus allowing reliable assessments of recruitment, mortality and population size.

Dark Matter Interference

We study different patterns of interference in WIMP-nuclei elastic scattering that can accommodate the DAMA and CoGeNT experiments via an isospin violating ratio fn/fp = -0.71. We study interference between the following pairs of mediators: Z and Z′, Z′ and Higgs, and two Higgs fields. We show under what conditions interference works. We also demonstrate that in the case of the two Higgs interference, an explanation of the DAMA/CoGeNT is consistent with electroweak baryogenesis scenarios based on two Higgs doublet models proposed in the past.
Multi-Unit Franchising: A Comparative Case Analysis

The objective of this study is to explain the franchisor’s choice between single-unit and multi-unit franchising. We employ a comparative case analysis method to compare the theoretical patterns with the empirical patterns of the governance forms. We selected two multi-national franchise networks based in Austria. Our findings suggest that franchisor’s multi-unit franchising strategy can be explained by monitoring costs, franchisee’s transaction-specific investments, franchisor’s system-specific assets, and franchisor’s financial resources scarcity.
Influence of glutamine supplementation on muscle damage and oxidative stress indices following 14km running

: Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of 7 day glutamine supplementation on exercise-induced oxidative stress and muscle damage. Methods: Nineteen healthy, nonsmoking, young men were recruited to participate in this study. Participants were randomized in a double-blind placebo-controlled fashion into 2 groups: Glutamine (G group) (n=9) and placebo (P group) (n=10). Subjects consumed daily either glutamine (1.5 g/kg glutamine+250ml water+15g sweetener) or placebo (250ml water+15g sweetener) for 7days. Then, participants ran 14km and were allowed to consume water throughout the exercise. Blood samples were taken before supplementation, before exercise, immediately, and 1h after exercise. Results: Creatine kinase (CK) significantly increased in both groups after exercise compared with pre-exercise (P 0.05). Conclusion: It seems 7 day glutamine supplementation has been able to affect oxidative stress and muscle damage markers via possibly an effect on antioxidant agents.
The Experience of Yoga on Children with Anxiety

This study sought to address how Yoga Calm instructors view yoga as a way to help children who may suffer from anxiety. Four interviews were conducted with trained Yoga Calm instructors to see how their use of Yoga Calm has impacted the children with whom they work. The interviews were then transcribed and analyzed and six themes emerged: the importance of breathing, visualization, community and team building, ability to practice at home or on their own, self-esteem and self-confidence, and normalizing and having a safe environment. There were many similarities between the findings and the reviewed literature. Community and team building was a theme that was only found in the findings of the current study. This finding may lead to more research to be conducted on Yoga Calm or yoga in general and how a sense of community and team building does in fact impact children who may suffer from anxiety. THE EXPERIENCE OF YOGA ON CHILDREN WITH ANXIETY 3 Acknowledgments This paper and completion of my graduate work would not have been possible without the unconditional love and support from my amazing husband, Jamie and wonderful family. The encouragement I received from you was all it took for me to get through this. I am forever grateful for you and love you more than you know. I would also like to give a huge thank you to my Chair, Lance Peterson. I do not think I would have been able to get through this year without your support and guidance. A nod of appreciation goes out to my two committee members, Kathy Flaminio and Chrissy Mignogna. Your passion for Yoga Calm is fantastic and contagious and I am so thankful to have had your knowledge and wisdom throughout. I want to remember my vivacious and incredibly supportive mother-in-law, Patrice who I miss every day. She was definitely my loudest cheerleader and would have been so proud to see this day finally come. THE EXPERIENCE OF YOGA ON CHILDREN WITH ANXIETY 4
Examining Rater Effects in TestDaF Writing and Speaking Performance Assessments: A Many-Facet Rasch Analysis

I studied rater effects in the writing and speaking sections of the Test of German as a Foreign Language (TestDaF). Building on the many-facet Rasch measurement methodology, the focus was on rater main effects as well as 2- and 3-way interactions between raters and the other facets involved, that is, examinees, rating criteria (in the writing section), and tasks (in the speaking section). Another goal was to investigate differential rater functioning related to examinee gender. Results showed that raters (a) differed strongly in the severity with which they rated examinees; (b) were fairly consistent in their overall ratings; (c) were substantially less consistent in relation to rating criteria (or speaking tasks, respectively) than in relation to examinees; and (d) as a group, were not subject to gender bias. These findings have implications for controlling and assuring the psychometric quality of the TestDaF rater-mediated assessment system.
New record species of Puntius (Pisces: Cyprinidae) from West Sumatra based on Cytochrome Oxidase1Gene

Biodiversity study on Puntius has been conducted in West Sumatera using a molecular technique. From the genetic analysis using the sequence of CO1 gene, the study discovered: (1) A new record species of Puntius in Diatas Lake, Batang Lembang, Batang Gumanti, Muara Pingai rivers (located in the eastern part of the Bukit Barisan mountain range) which is Barbodes binotatus banksi or B. banksi. (2). A new record of subspecies in Maninjau Lake and its tributary (located in the western part of the Bukit Barisan mountain range) which is Barbodes banksi maninjau. (3) A new record of subspecies in Batang Kuranji, Batang Katik, Batang Tarok and Lubuk Paraku rivers (located in the western part of the Bukit Barisan mountain range) which is Barbodes banksi kuranji. The results of this study add the evidence that the presence of Bukit Barisan mountain range in Sumatra Island contributed to genetic diversity, evolutionary process and speciation mechanism of freshwater fish in Sumatra. It is important to pay attention to the development of district or area in Sumatra.
Fogs and air quality on the Southern California coast

Fog acts as a reservoir and transport vector for chemicals in the atmosphere, altering the distribution of species between the gas and particle phases, and allowing deposition of nutrients and pollutants onto ecosystems and crops. Fog water and trace gas samples were collected from Casitas Pass along the Santa Barbara Channel in June 2015 to identify emissions sources and aqueous processes impacting Southern California air. Fog water composition was dominated by NH4+ (volume weighted mean, VWM = 232 µM, range = 85–640 µM), with lesser contributions from NO3– (126 µM, 30.4–778 µM) and SO42– (28.3 µM, 12.1–90.0 µM), pushing the VWM pH to 5.92 (5.34–6.67). Organic carbon contributed substantially to fog composition (8.27 mg C L–1, 4.70–16.8 mg C L–1). Carboxylic acids, products of aqueous oxidation, were abundant (20.1% of carbon mass on average), with > 1% contributions by acetate, formate, oxalate, malonate, succinate, and lactate. Sulfur- and nitrogen-containing organic species were detected, often after 3–5 hours of fog, suggesting aqueous formation. Sampled air was advected over the coastline near oil extraction operations, urban and agricultural areas; regional oil and natural gas processing and mobile sources were the most influential organic emissions at Casitas Pass. Fog composition in 2015 was contrasted with that from a study in July-September 1985/6. Concentrations of major fog constituents appear to have decreased in response to successful air quality regulations. While natural species concentrations in fog were similar (e.g., 2015 VWM [Na+] = 101 µM, range = < 30–320 µM; 1985/6 [Na+] = 129 µM, 12–1000 µM), anthropogenic species concentrations were lower in 2015 (e.g., 1985/6: [NO3–] = 236 µM, 141–2800 µM vs. 2015: 126 µM, 30.4–778 µM). These results overall highlight changes in Southern California air quality issues, including improvement of some anthropogenic emissions and the current influence of organic emissions from industrial and mobile sources.
CONSTITUENTS OF INTERDIGIT AL SECRETIONS OF BONTEBOK, Damaliscus dorcas dorcas, AND BLESBOK,

In addition to the nine compounds identified in the interdigital secretion of the bontebok, Damaliscus dorcas dorcas, in a previous study, 76 compounds belonging to different compound types, were identified in the interdigital secretions of the bontebok and the blesbok, D. d. phillipsi. These compounds include alkanes, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, fatty acids, terpenoids, ')"lactones, an isopropyl ester, long-chain hydroxyesters, 2-substituted pyridines, phenols, steroids, and dimethylsulfone. No qualitative differences were found between secretions from the two sexes or from animals from different habitats. Although no attempt was made to correlate territorial behavior or other behavioral phenomena with the qualitative composition of interdigital secretions from individual animals, available information seems to indicate that quantitative differences probably do not have a major semiochemical function. Only two species of bacteria, Bacillus brevis and Planococcus cit reus, were found in the interdigital pouches of male and female members of the two subspecies, regardless of the habitat of the animals. *To whom correspondence should be addressed.
Effect of ripening period on composition of pepino (Solanum muricatum) fruit grown in Turkey

Pepino is a new crop for Turkey. Raw and mature pepino fruits which were grown in greenhouse in Antalya, Mediterranean region of Turkey, were used for compositional analysis. Moisture, protein, ash, oil, sugar, NDF (Neutral detergent fiber) and ADF (Acid detergent fiber) analysis were done at two stages. Moisture was determined as the main component of the fruit by 93.80 and 91.45% for raw and mature fruit respectively. Pepino fruits have fewer amounts of protein, ash and oil at two stages of raw and mature fruits (0.93, 0.78, 0.46, 0.47, 0.05 and 0.09%, respectively). Sugar is the main component of dry matter especially in mature fruit (7.03%). Also, free sugar contents were determined. The contents of glucose and fructose declined during ripening, whereas sucrose showed an increase in concentration as ripening progressed. Key words: Pepino, Solanum muricatum, ripening period.
Preparation of Ag/HBP/PAN Nanofiber Web and Its Antimicrobial and Filtration Property

To widen the application of nanofibers web in the field of medical health materials, a new Ag/amino-terminated hyperbranched polymer HBP/polyacrylonitrile PAN nanofiber web with excellent antimicrobial activity and filtration property was produced with Ag/HBP dispersion solution and PAN nanofiber. Ag/HBP dispersion solution was prepared with HBP as reducer and stabilizer, and Ag/HBP/PAN nanofiber was prepared by modifying electrospun PAN nanofiber with Ag/HBP aqueous solution. The characterization results showed that spherical Ag nanoparticles were prepared and they had a narrow distribution in HBP aqueous solution. The results of Ag/HBP/PAN nanofiber characterized with SEM and EDS showed that the content of silver nanoparticles on the surface of PAN nanofiber was on the increase when the treating temperature rose. The bacterial reduction rates of HBP-treated PAN nanofiber against S. aureus and E. coli were about 89%, while those of the Ag/HBP/PAN nanofiber against S. aureus and E. coli were 99.9% and 99.96%, respectively, due to the cooperative effects from the amino groups in HBP and Ag nanoparticles. Moreover, the small pores and high porosity in Ag/HBP/PAN nanofiber web resulted in high filtration efficiency 99.9% for removing smaller particles 0.1 μm~0.7 μm, which was much higher than that of the gauze mask.
