EDITORIAL PHOTOGRAPHS AND PATTERNS OF PRACTICE

This paper proposes a new theoretical method to analyse patterns of photographic practice of editorial photography—using an “action genre” approach. That is, rather than taking final photographic forms as being definitive of genre, this new method identifies patterns of “activity types” involved in the production of editorial photography to be identified. While there has been much written on editorial photography, there is no organised body of scholarship that distinguishes between different modes of presenting patterns of photographic practice. Claims about the degree of influence of visual images and their ability to drive public opinion have not sufficiently considered the full impact of photographic production processes. Although patterns of activity in the image-making process are not directly evident in the published photograph, the process does impact upon the resulting meanings made.
METHOD FOR IN-SITU DETERMINING THE COMPACTNESS OF GRAINY MATERIAL LAYERS AND DEVICE FOR PERFORMING THE PROCESS

The object of the invention is a device for in-situ determining the compactness of grainy material layers, especially determining the compactness of material layers containing equally solid part, liquid and gaseous phases e. g. soils, that consists of a guide body, a loading disc connected with the guide body and a dropping-weight movable relating the loading disc along the guide body. The characteric feature of the device is that an indicator figure (20) is adjusted to a dropping weight (13), the indicator figure (20) has a guide organ (21), wherein one of the guide organs (21) and the guide body (11) are at least periodically in a connection with each other restricting the direction of movement and the guide body (11) is complemented with a length measuring unit (30). Furthermore, the object of the invention is also a method for in-situ determining the compactness of grainy material layers, especially determining the compactness of material layers containing equally solid part, liquid and gaseous phases e. g. soils; using a device consisting of a loading disc connected with a guide body and a dropping- weight movable relating the loading disc along the guide body, as measuring tool. The loading disc is placed on the surface of the material layer to be examined, then with the help of the dropping weight deforming impact energy of given value is transmitted to the loading disc, and following it the compactness of the material layer is determined. The characteristic part of the method of the invention is that before transmitting the deforming impact energy we associate the dropping weight (13) with the indicator figure (20), then after transmitting the deforming impact energy to the loading disc we determine the value of recoiling of the dropping weight (13) from the loading disc with the help of the indicator figure (20) and we establish the compactness of the material layer under the loading disc (12) on the base of recoiling value.
Differences in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Community Composition in Soils of Three Land Use Types in Subtropical Hilly Area of Southern China

Land use type is key factor in restoring the degraded soils due to its impact on soil chemical properties and microbial community. In this study, the influences of land use type on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) community and soil chemical properties were assessed in a long-run experimental station in subtropical hilly area of southern China. Soil samples were collected from forest land, orchard and vegetable field. Soil chemical properties were analyzed, and PCR-DGGE was performed to explore the AMF community structure. Cloning and sequencing of DGGE bands were conducted to monitor AMF community composition. Results indicate that the contents of total P, available P and available K were the highest while the contents of soil organic matter, total N, total K and available N were the lowest in vegetable field soils, with forest land soils vice versa. According to DGGE profiling, AMF community in forest soils was more closely related to that in orchard soils than that in vegetable field soils. Sequencing indicated that 45 out of 53 excised bands were AMF and 64.4% of AMF belonged to Glomeraceae, including some "generalists" present in all soils and some "specialists" present only in soils of particular land use. Category principle component analysis demonstrated that total N, soil organic matter and available P were the most important factors affecting AMF community, and some AMF phylotypes were closely associated with particular soil chemical properties. Our data suggest that AMF communities are different with different land use types.
Preparation of the Biochip experiment on the EXPOSE-R2 mission outside the International Space Station

Biochips might be suited for planetary exploration. Indeed, they present great potential for the search for biomarkers – molecules that are the sign of past or present life in space – thanks to their size (miniaturized devices) and sensitivity. Their detection principle is based on the recognition of a target molecule by affinity receptors fixed on a solid surface. Consequently, one of the main concerns when developing such a system is the behavior of the biological receptors in a space environment. In this paper, we describe the preparation of an experiment planned to be part of the EXPOSE-R2 mission, which will be conducted on the EXPOSE-R facility, outside the International Space Station (ISS), in order to study the resistance of biochip models to space constraints (especially cosmic radiation and thermal cycling). This experiment overcomes the limits of ground tests which do not reproduce exactly the space parameters. Indeed, contrary to ground experiments where constraints are applied individually and in a limited time, the biochip models on the ISS will be exposed to cumulated constraints during several months. Finally, this ISS experiment is a necessary step towards planetary exploration as it will help assessing whether a biochip can be used for future exploration missions. 2013 COSPAR.

Adriatic Regions Counterguarantee Fund - Technical Assistance

For ARCO Project the seven Italian Adriatic Regions decided togheter with EACs to establish a Counter Guarrantee Fund which management has ben assigned to Veneto Sviluppo S.p.A., regional financial institution of the Veneto Region and partner of the Project. For this porpose, two projects have been finalized both within Measure 2.1:
- Project called A.R.CO. – A.T.: concerns the activities regarding the establishment of the Fund as well as the establishment and management of a network necessary to ensure the good implementation of the financial instrument ;
- Project called A.R.CO. – F.: concerns the management of the Counter Guarrantee Fund.
The present project proposes itself to sustain the operations of industrial collaboration and joint venture between the IAR SME’s and EAC counterparts. It is known, in a fact, that such interventions are favoring on one part the real internationalization of Italian enterprises, permitting it to benefit from competitive economic factors offered by EAC markets, and on the other hand they permit to EAC SME’s to acquire financial resources, productive factors and know how able to favor its growth. 22Therefore the Project (A.R.CO. – A.T.) consists, in the development of the informative actions and of the network connected to the establishment and implementation of a Counter Guarantee Fund aiming to support the investments of Italian SMEs in EACs.
Expansion of oxygen minimum zones may reduce available habitat for tropical pelagic fishes

Climate model predictions1, 2 and observations3, 4 reveal regional declines in oceanic dissolved oxygen, which are probably influenced by global warming5. Studies indicate ongoing dissolved oxygen depletion and vertical expansion of the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) in the tropical northeast Atlantic Ocean6, 7. OMZ shoaling may restrict the usable habitat of billfishes and tunas to a narrow surface layer8, 9. We report a decrease in the upper ocean layer exceeding 3.5 ml l−1 dissolved oxygen at a rate of ≤1 m yr−1 in the tropical northeast Atlantic (0–25° N, 12–30° W), amounting to an annual habitat loss of ~5.95×1013 m3, or 15% for the period 1960–2010. Habitat compression and associated potential habitat loss was validated using electronic tagging data from 47 blue marlin. This phenomenon increases vulnerability to surface fishing gear for billfishes and tunas8, 9, and may be associated with a 10–50% worldwide decline of pelagic predator diversity10. Further expansion of the Atlantic OMZ along with overfishing may threaten the sustainability of these valuable pelagic fisheries and marine ecosystems.
Effectiveness of BNT162b2 vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe COVID-19 in children aged 5–11 years in Italy: a retrospective analysis of January–April, 2022

By April 13, 2022, more than 4 months after the approval of BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) for children, less than 40% of 5-11-year-olds in Italy had been vaccinated against COVID-19. Estimating how effective vaccination is in 5-11-year-olds in the current epidemiological context dominated by the omicron variant (B.1.1.529) is important to inform public health bodies in defining vaccination policies and strategies.In this retrospective population analysis, we assessed vaccine effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe COVID-19, defined as an infection leading to hospitalisation or death, by linking the national COVID-19 surveillance system and the national vaccination registry. All Italian children aged 5-11 years without a previous diagnosis of infection were eligible for inclusion and were followed up from Jan 17 to April 13, 2022. All children with inconsistent vaccination data, diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection before the start date of the study or without information on the municipality of residence were excluded from the analysis. With unvaccinated children as the reference group, we estimated vaccine effectiveness in those who were partly vaccinated (one dose) and those who were fully vaccinated (two doses).By April 13, 2022, 1 063 035 (35·8%) of the 2 965 918 children aged 5-11 years included in the study had received two doses of the vaccine, 134 386 (4·5%) children had received one dose only, and 1 768 497 (59·6%) were unvaccinated. During the study period, 766 756 cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection and 644 cases of severe COVID-19 (627 hospitalisations, 15 admissions to intensive care units, and two deaths) were notified. Overall, vaccine effectiveness in the fully vaccinated group was 29·4% (95% CI 28·5-30·2) against SARS-CoV-2 infection and 41·1% (22·2-55·4) against severe COVID-19, whereas vaccine effectiveness in the partly vaccinated group was 27·4% (26·4-28·4) against SARS-CoV-2 infection and 38·1% (20·9-51·5) against severe COVID-19. Vaccine effectiveness against infection peaked at 38·7% (37·7-39·7) at 0-14 days after full vaccination and decreased to 21·2% (19·7-22·7) at 43-84 days after full vaccination.Vaccination against COVID-19 in children aged 5-11 years in Italy showed a lower effectiveness in preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe COVID-19 than in individuals aged 12 years and older. Effectiveness against infection appears to decrease after completion of the current primary vaccination cycle.None.For the Italian translation of the summary see Supplementary Materials section.
Graph indexing of road networks for shortest path queries with label restrictions

The current widespread use of location-based services and GPS technologies has revived interest in very fast and scalable shortest path queries. We introduce a new shortest path query type in which dynamic constraints may be placed on the allowable set of edges that can appear on a valid shortest path (e.g., dynamically restricting the type of roads or modes of travel which may be considered in a multimodal transportation network). We formalize this problem as a specific variant of formal language constrained shortest path problems, which we call the Kleene Language Constrained Shortest Paths problem. To efficiently support this type of dynamically constrained shortest path query for large-scale datasets, we extend the hierarchical graph indexing technique known as Contraction Hierarchies. Our experimental evaluation using the North American road network dataset (with over 50 million edges) shows an average query speed and search space improvement of over 3 orders of magnitude compared to the naïve adaptation of the standard Dijkstra's algorithm to support this query type. We also show an improvement of over 2 orders of magnitude compared to the only previously-existing indexing technique which could solve this problem without additional preprocessing.
MUDANÇAS PRODUZIDAS PELA CPC 06 – RESOLUÇÃO 02/2019 NAS NOTAS EXPLICATIVAS DAS EMPRESAS DO SETOR DO AGRONEGÓCIO LISTADAS NA B3

Devido a interação com as normativas internacionais, o Brasil vem divulgando as modificações movidas pelo processo de adaptação nas diligências de leis e normativas, esse recurso visa padronizar os lançamentos e métodos de análise referente aos dados contábeis. Este estudo analisa o comportamento das empresas do setor do agronegócio listadas na B3 frente às mudanças introduzidas pelo CPC 06 – Resolução 02/2019 no tocante à divulgação de notas explicativas. Para tanto, realizou-se pesquisa qualitativa e descritiva, que se constitui em estudo de caso com coleta de dados por pesquisa documental. A amostra compõe-se de cinco empresas cujas demonstrações contábeis foram analisadas a partir de um check list adaptado a partir de Moura (2017). As notas explicativas tem o intuito de auxiliar as demonstrações contábeis visando uma especificação ampla e abrangente sobre o fato demonstrado. A partir da análise realizada, os resultados apontam que as empresas dividem-se em dois grupos: as que avançaram no cumprimento da nova normativa e as que registram índice de evidenciação pouco abaixo de 50%, o que significa negligência na divulgação de diversos fatos contábeis, essa falta de informações alocadas nas demonstrações acaba dificultando a avaliação de futuros acionistas e até mesmo afugentando os atuais. Essa escassez de informações além de deter a qualificação das demonstrações também pode camuflar fatos ilícitos ou improcedentes, deixando os acionistas a mercê de informações inconfidentes.&#x0D;

Raising eu productivity: lessons from improved micro data

MICROPROD will examine the empirical observation that productivity growth in the developed world has slowed down in the past decade despite both technological innovation continuing as well as greater openness to trade. Our objective is to provide explanations to this puzzle, improving our understanding of productivity and its drivers in general as well as the way that we measure it. In bringing together top micro and macro-economists from highly reputable research institutions in both the academic and policy communities with experts from statistical agencies, MICROPROD will provide the building blocks for next generation economic policy thinking and attempts to answer the following four set of questions: 1) Do we measure productivity correctly? We will gather relevant data and improve the methodologies used to measure productivity. This will be done in a comparative European perspective and with the help of statistical authorities. 2) Do we understand all the mechanisms at work, from intangible investments to integrating into global value chains? We will increase our understanding of how these mechanisms lead to new methods of production, in the way that inputs are combined to produce outputs. 3) What are the combined effects of globalisation and technological change in terms of their distributional impacts? Newly available micro-level data will allow us to provide evidence on the channels through which globalisation and technological change interact with financial and labour market imperfections and impact on the distributions of productivity and income, with an analysis spanning both within and across countries. 4) Is the policy environment conducive to the new productivity environment? Are policies in place designed to support the new mechanisms at work and how can they be adapted in the EU context? We will examine how the general macroeconomic environment can ensure that demand meets supply and that there is adequate financing to promote investment and growth.
Influence of Operating Conditions on the Persulfate Oxidation of Textile Waste Water at Ambient Temperature

At the ambient temperatures, the influence of operating conditions on persulfate (S 2 O 8 ) oxidation of real textile wastewater was investigated for the removal of color, suspended solids (SS) and chemical oxygen demand (COD). The effects of oxidant dosage, initial solution pH and contact time were studied in a series of batch experiments using persulfate (PS) oxidant as sodium persulfate. Oxidant dose was defined by an oxidant/contaminant (PS/COD) molar ratio, varied from 1/1-10/1. Although parameter removals increased with the oxidant dose, especially for color and SS, a PS/COD molar ratio of 4/1 (6720mg/L) was adopted in a bid to use fewer chemicals. The pH was varied from 2-11, with pH of between 2 and 3 being the optimum. At 360minutes contact time, the removals of color, SS and COD were 84%; 71% and 32% respectively. Although relatively effective, especially for color removal, results show that the reactions might have been inhibited at ambient temperatures as shown by the particularly low removal of COD.
Was sex inflexible? practices, knowledge, techniques, and technologies of “sex change” embodiment in argentina during the twentieth century

My project seeks to analyse the making of transsexual bodies in Argentina during the twentieth century. It has three keygoals: (i) to investigate the history of a repertoire of medical and social practices that includes the use of self-injected hormones, cosmetic and sex change surgeries, prosthetics, as well as international travel to attain medical treatment, document falsification, among others; (ii) to examine the transformations of the notion of “sex,” and the development of the multiple meanings that doctors, patients,  journalists, and judges assigned to it; and (iii) to establish a connection between transsexual embodiment practices and gender-normative technologies performed in the first half of the twentieth century for cissexual men and women.
Unlike other countries where sex change surgery access was restricted (the United States) or existed in a legal vacuum (Chile and Mexico), Argentina prohibited surgeries that affected reproductive organs and punished public display of attributes of the “other sex.” As a consequence, the daily lives of transvestites, transsexuals and female homosexuals became public transgressions and “sex change” procedures became clandestine, expensive and dangerous. By analyzing documents such as trial records and using oral history techniques, I will write the first book of the trans* body making in Argentina.

Crowding-out or crowding-in? Analyzing the effects of government spending on private investment in Turkey

The main objective of this paper is to analyze empirically the effects of government spending on private investment, evaluating the existence of crowding-out/-in effects, in Turkey for the 1975-2011 period. In contrast to previous studies, we employed in the paper the modified version of David A. Aschauer?s (1989) model, which allows us to see the effects of each component of government spending taking place in the Turkish budget system. The empirical findings of the paper showed that government current transfer spending, government current spending, and government interest spending crowdout private investment, whereas government capital spending crowds-in private investment in Turkey.
