Land cover, land use change and related issues in the Lake Victoria basin: States, drivers, future trends and impacts on environment and human livelihoods

Land is a critical resource for the survival of the over 25 million inhabitants of the Lake Victoria basin in which agriculture contributes immensely to local and national economies. The steady decline in per capital land holding and escalating land degradation are posing serious concerns to food security and environmental integrity thus threatening economic, social and physical survival in the lake region now and in the future. The key land degradation issues addressed in this paper include escalating soil erosion, declining soil fertility, agro-chemical pollution, salinization and loss of land cover. Using the following driving force framework, that is, pressures-states-impact-response (DPSIR), the paper presents a synthesis of the state of land use and land degradation in the basin, their causes and impacts on human and environmental security. The paper notes that protecting the land quality for the benefit of people is a major challenge in the basin and that the dilemma in sustainable land management in the basin is that land use changes needed to promote the survival of society in the long-term are at crossroads with what is essential to the survival of the population in the shortterm. An analysis of future scenarios of the Lake Victoria land resources and land use change is presented based on plausible futures through long-term interactions between economic development and environment with a reflection on the future state of available arable land in 2025. The social, biophysical and institutional mitigations measures proposed are based on these interactions.
Post Mortem Findings in Poultry Birds of Jammu Region

Necropsy was done on about 50 poultry birds including broilers and backyard poultry during January-July, 2016. The carcasses were brought to the Division of Veterinary Pathology by poultry farmers of Jammu, R.S. Pura, Miran Sahib and surrounding areas. Also visits were made to commercial broiler units and post mortems were conducted on requests there. The most commonly affected systems in the examined birds included respiratory tract and gastrointestinal tract. Besides, spleen, eyes, brain and skin were also found to be affected. In backyard poultry, post mortem examination revealed presence of gross lesions characteristic of fowl pox, gastroenteritis due to infestation with Ascaridia galli and Heterakis gallinarum and haemorrhagic tracheitis along with pneumonia. In broilers, the most common lesions included perihepatitis, pericarditis, air sacculitis, yolk sac infection, bronze discolouration of liver, haemorrhagic lesions in the proventriculus and intestines. Also, in broiler birds white to yellow caseous nodules in the lung parenchyma and haemorrhages in the thigh and breast muscles were seen.

Sex Differences 1 Running Head: Sex Differences in Children’s Aggression Sex Differences in Aggression amongst Children of Low and High Gender Inequality Backgrounds: A Comparison of Gender Role and Sexual Selection Theories

It is well understood in aggression research that males tend to exhibit higher levels of physical aggression than females. Yet there are still a number of gaps in our understanding of variation in sex differences in children’s aggression, particularly in contexts outside North America. A key assumption of social role theory is that sex differences vary according to gender polarization, whereas sexual selection theory accords variation to the ecological environment that consequently affects male competition (Archer, 2009; Kenrick & Griskevicious, 2009). In the present paper we explore these contradicting theoretical frameworks by examining data from a longitudinal study of a culturally diverse sample of 863 children at ages 7-13 in Zurich, Switzerland. Making use of the large proportion of children from highly diverse immigrant background we compare the size of the sex difference in aggression between children whose parents were born in countries with low and with high levels of gender inequality. The results show that sex differences in aggression are generally larger among children with parents from high gender inequality backgrounds. However, this effect is small in comparison to the direct effect of a child’s biological sex. We discuss implications for future research on sex differences in children’s aggression.
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ECONOMIC GROWTH, FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT AND INFLATION: ARDL MODELS APPROACH FOR THE CASE OF GHANA

The study applies Autoregressive Distributed Lags models and the Toda and Yamamoto (1995) causality test to analyze the relationships as well as the causality properties among various pairs of Ghana’s inflow of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Inflation and Economic growth for the period 1980 to 2017. The study finds that Inflation relates inversely with both Economic growth and inflows of Foreign Direct Investment. However, Ghana’s Economic growth and its inflows of FDI are positively related. Finally, the study finds a bidirectional causal effect between inflation and FDI. In addition, a unidirectional causal effect moving from Economic growth to Inflation was established and the causal effect is non-existent between Economic growth and inflow of FDI.
Visual SLAM Based on Dynamic Object Removal

Visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is the core of intelligent robot navigation system. Many traditional SLAM algorithms assume that the scene is static. When a dynamic object appears in the environment, the accuracy of visual SLAM can degrade due to the interference of dynamic features of moving objects. This strong hypothesis limits the SLAM applications for service robot or driverless car in the real dynamic environment. In this paper, a dynamic object removal algorithm that combines object recognition and optical flow techniques is proposed in the visual SLAM framework for dynamic scenes. The experimental results show that our new method can detect moving object effectively and improve the SLAM performance compared to the state of the art methods.

Contribution to Knowledge of Contains on Peridotite Rocks of the Krivaja-Konjuh Ophiolitic Complex (Massif)

Ophiolite zone of Internal Dinarides is a separate tectonic unit and it stretches from Banija in Croatia through Bosnia and western Serbia, to Kosovo on southeast and continues to Hellenides. Within ophiolite zones in Bosnia, there are 6 ophiolite complexes (Krivaja-Konjuh, Ozren, Kozara, Varde and Višegrad area, complex Ljubić, Čavke and Vrbanje, and complex Borje and Mahnjače) mainly of identical composition, although each carries some specific characteristics that makes it different from other complexes. Krivaja-Konjuh complex is located in the central parts of the ophiolite zone of the Dinarides and is elongated in the northwestsoutheast direction. The dominant role in Krivaja-Konjuh massif have ultramafic rocks occupying an area of over 500 km2 and they are associated with different varienties of ingeous rocks and metamorphic rocks. A few ten of samples pf peridotides were microscopic processed, and selected representative samples were examined in detail which will significantly extend our knowledge of peridotite in Krivaja-Konjuh (massif). Based on all acquired field and laboratory data, the mineral and chemical composition of samples have been determined. Determination of the content of macro elements and normative CIPW composition and determination of micro elements is the basis for rock classification and complete definition of the chemical composition of these rocks.

MODELLING OF COMPLEX MICROSTRUCTURES IN MULTI PHASE STEELS. GEOMETRICAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR BUILDING AN RVE

The mechanical performance of multi phase steels depends on the microstructure and properties of the constituent phases. For further product improvement and the development of new products multi scale techniques based on micromechanical RVE models are vital. An accurate RVE, incorporating all relevant microstructure features, will largely determine the success of the multi scale simulations. Because of their flexibility in describing many complex geometric structures voronoi algorithms are often used. For particles and cross section calculations convex hull algorithms are very powerful. In this contribution it is shown how a voronoi algorithm is used to build an RVE with periodic boundary conditions. To incorporate the typical aspects of bimodal size distributions of multi phase structures a special version of the parametric voronoi model has been developed. It is believed that the influence of geometrically necessary dislocations (GND) can be predicted much better using that model.
Chapter X

Weblogs do not seem to differ substantially from other web pages, but the availability of user-friendly weblog templates has generated a tendency towards the stabilisation of an independent “weblog genre”. The aim of this chapter is to analyse the characteristics of this genre and check to what extent they have already stabilised within the blogging community. This stabilisation is essential since the reader’s’ fast identification of the weblog genre would save mental effort by alerting them of the type of information that they expect to find in the weblog. It will be argued that readers and bloggers have stored in their minds the basic features of the weblog genre (what we will label internalised weblog schema) which they invariably check when they aim at labelling the web page as a weblog. These schemas, which are subject to a constant process of updating, determine what expectations readers are likely to build up concerning the information that they are about to process in the weblog, thus saving mental effort. The analysis of 100 weblog samples will help us determine which verbal-visual features of weblogs are candidates to be stored in these schemas and invariably expected both by authors and readers of weblogs.
Imaging the Landmarks of Vascular Recovery

Background: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a major worldwide health concern. Since the late 1990s therapeutic angiogenesis has been investigated as an alternative to traditional PAD treatments. Although positive preclinical results abound in the literature, the outcomes of human clinical trials have been discouraging. Among the challenges the field has faced has been a lack of standardization of the timings and measures used to validate new treatment approaches. Methods: In order to study the spatiotemporal dynamics of both perfusion and neovascularization in mice subjected to surgically-induced hindlimb ischemia (n= 30), we employed three label-free imaging modalities (a novel high-sensitivity ultrasonic Power Doppler methodology, laser speckle contrast, and photoacoustic imaging), as well as a tandem of radio-labeled molecular probes, 99mTc-NC100692 and 99mTc-BRU-5921 respectively, designed to detect two key modulators of angiogenic activity, αVβ3 and HIF-1α , via scintigraphic imaging. Results: The multimodal imaging strategy reveals a set of “landmarks”—key physiological and molecular events in the healing process—that can serve as a standardized framework for describing the impact of emerging PAD treatments. These landmarks span the entire process of neovascularization, beginning with the rapid decreases in perfusion and oxygenation associated with ligation surgery, extending through pro-angiogenic changes in gene expression driven by the master regulator HIF-1α , and ultimately leading to complete functional revascularization of the affected tissues. Conclusions: This study represents an important step in the development of multimodal non-invasive imaging strategies for vascular research; the combined results offer more insight than can be gleaned through any of the individual imaging methods alone. Researchers adopting similar imaging strategies and will be better able to describe changes in the onset, duration, and strength of each of the landmarks of vascular recovery, yielding greater biological insight, and enabling more comprehensive cross-study comparisons. Perhaps most important, this study paves the road for more efficient translation of PAD research; emerging experimental treatments can be more effectively assessed and refined at the preclinical stage, ultimately leading to better next-generation therapies.
Enogastronomy in Northern Portugal: Destination Cooperation and Regional Identity

This study aims to understand how conflicting stakeholders’ interests and agendas of the public, private and non-profit sectors may affect the management of the tourism destination identity. It focuses on Northern Portugal, a geographical area with contrasting characteristics, ranging from coastal urban areas to rural hinterland, each dealing with different development issues. The study is qualitative in nature, being carried out using in-depth interviews conducted with various stakeholders (public, private and non-profit sectors) at three wine regions located in Northern Portugal. Data was examined through content analysis. The findings suggest that there is an evident lack of cooperation between the food-and-wine and the tourism sectors in the three wine regions, which tends to hinder the construction of a territorial identity for development purposes. This study identifies the role of public organisations in promoting a shared vision for endogenous products alongside local stakeholders, thus contributing to the construct of a territorial identity. Although regional identity is studied in the relatively limited context of cooperation among stakeholders’ practices, the paper exemplifies how local food and wine products can enhance the identity of tourism destinations.
A PRESSURE-BASED ALGORITHM FOR THE NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF THE INCOMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS

A control-volume finite element formulation is proposed for the numerical solution of incompressible laminar flow of Newtonian fluids on 2-D unstructured grids. A collocated arrangement of dependent variables is used and oscillatory solutions are prevented by using the momentum interpolation scheme for mass carrying velocity components in the continuity equation. Bi-linear shape functions in triangular element combined with a physical-based discretization scheme are used to simulate the integration point diffusion and advection fluxes. Benchmark numerical solutions and experimental data are used to validate the proposed numerical solution method. Computational results are in good agreement with the reference data.

Öbek Eşzamanlılığın Nedensellik Entropisi ile Belirlenmesi

When chaotic systems are coupled to each other through state variables, the cluster synchronization can occur in the proper circumstances. The problem of detection of cluster synchronization by using observation samples has been investigated in a coupled continuous time chaotic network. If the coupling strengths of this network change, the network can form new clusters. The detection of clusters has been also determined in case of rearranging clusters. In order to detect cluster synchronization, the causation entropy has been estimated from observation vectors. This measure has been shown to distinguish the systems forming in the network.
When Humans Aren’t Optimal: Robots that Collaborate with Risk-Aware Humans

In order to collaborate safely and efficiently, robots need to anticipate how their human partners will behave. Some of today’s robots model humans as if they were also robots, and assume users are always optimal. Other robots account for human limitations, and relax this assumption so that the human is noisily rational. Both of these models make sense when the human receives deterministic rewards: i.e., gaining either $\$100$ or $\$130$ with certainty. But in real-world scenarios, rewards are rarely deterministic. Instead, we must make choices subject to risk and uncertainty—and in these settings, humans exhibit a cognitive bias towards suboptimal behavior. For example, when deciding between gaining $\$100$ with certainty or $\$130$ only 80% of the time, people tend to make the risk-averse choice—even though it leads to a lower expected gain! In this paper, we adopt a well-known Risk-Aware human model from behavioral economics called Cumulative Prospect Theory and enable robots to leverage this model during human-robot interaction (HRI). In our user studies, we offer supporting evidence that the Risk-Aware model more accurately predicts suboptimal human behavior. We find that this increased modeling accuracy results in safer and more efficient human-robot collaboration. Overall, we extend existing rational human models so that collaborative robots can anticipate and plan around suboptimal human behavior during HRI.

Visual Question Answering on 360° Images

In this work, we introduce VQA 360°, a novel task of visual question answering on 360° images. Unlike a normal field-of-view image, a 360° image captures the entire visual content around the optical center of a camera, demanding more sophisticated spatial understanding and reasoning. To address this problem, we collect the first VQA 360° dataset, containing around 17,000 real-world image-question-answer triplets for a variety of question types. We then study two different VQA models on VQA 360°, including one conventional model that takes an equirectangular image (with intrinsic distortion) as input and one dedicated model that first projects a 360° image onto cubemaps and subsequently aggregates the information from multiple spatial resolutions. We demonstrate that the cubemap-based model with multi-level fusion and attention diffusion performs favorably against other variants and the equirectangular-based models. Nevertheless, the gap between the humans’ and machines’ performance reveals the need for more advanced VQA 360° algorithms. We, therefore, expect our dataset and studies to serve as the benchmark for future development in this challenging task. Dataset, code, and pre-trained models are available online.1
