Published: October 2019

Abstract. Aim of our study is to gain a better knowledge about the isopod crustacean fauna of the abyssal Clarion Clipperton Fracture Zone (CCZ) located in the central Pacific Ocean. In total, we examined 22 EBS samples taken at 6 abyssal areas in the central pacific manganese nodule area (CCZ and DISCOL). The dataset comprised 619 specimens belonging to 187 species of four different isopod families: 91 species (48.6 % of total) belonging to Munnopsidae, 63 (33.6 %) to Desmosomatidae, 24 (12.8 %) to Haploniscidae and 9 (4.8 %) to Macrostylidae. The total number of species found was relatively similar between sites ranging from 38 (German Contractor area) to 50 species (French contractor area). 68 species were represented by singeletons. The ranges of distribution differ between families. In total 77 % of the species were recorded in a single area (and thus being unique for this specific area), 13.9 % in 2 areas, 5.3 % in 3 areas, 2.6 % in 4 areas and 1 % in 5 areas. The proportion of species present in a single area increased in this sequence: Munnopsidae (75.8 %), Desmosomatidae (77.7 %) and Haploniscidae (83 %). A total of 6 (66.6 %) out of 9 species of Macrostylidae was recorded in a single area contrasted by the most common species being from this family, Macrostylidae_Macrostylis_M05 with 46 specimens (present in all areas besides DISCOL) followed by several species of Munnopsidae with 10 or more specimens in the dataset. The CCZ areas show the highest number of shared species. Generally, the high diversity in each area is reflected by a low similarity between sampling areas. The rarefraction curves indicate that species richness is similar between areas, but the real number of species is still not sampled. The most distant areas from the central CCZ, the APEI3 and DISCOL, are the most different.

Published: October 2019

Abstract. The Miocene Hazeva River was a large fluvial system (estimated catchment size > 100 000 km2) that drained the Arabian Plateau and Sinai Peninsula into the Mediterranean Sea during the Early–Mid Miocene. It was established after rifting of the Red Sea uplifted the Arabian Plateau during the Oligocene. Following late Miocene to early Pliocene subsidence along the Dead Sea Rift, the Hazeva drainage system was abandoned and dissected, resulting in new drainage divides on either side of the rift. We utilized a novel application of cosmogenic 21Ne measurements in chert to compare modern erosion rates with Miocene erosion rates that operated when the Hazeva River was active. We find that modern erosion rates derived from cosmogenic 21Ne, 26Al, and 10Be in exposed in situ chert nodules to be extremely slow, between 2–4 mm/kyr. Comparison between modern and paleo erosion rates, measured in chert pebbles, is not straightforward, as cosmogenic 21Ne was acquired partly during bedrock exhumation and partly during transport of these pebbles in the Hazeva River. However, even with bedrock erosion and maintained transport along this big river, 21Ne concentrations measured in Miocene cherts are lower (range between 3.66 ± 1.9 × 106 and 8.97 ± 1.39 × 106 atoms/g SiO2) compared to 21Ne concentrations measured in the currently eroding chert nodules (8.08 ± 1.48 × 106 and 12.10 ± 2.43 × 106 atoms/g SiO2). 21Ne concentrations in Miocene cherts correspond to minimum erosion rates that are at least twice as fast as rates calculated today. We attribute these faster erosion rates to a combination of continuous uplift and significantly wetter climatic conditions during the Miocene.
The benefits of increasing resolution in global and regional climate simulations for European climate extremes

Published: October 2019

Abstract. Many climate extremes, including heatwaves and heavy precipitation events, are projected to worsen under climate change, with important impacts for society. Future projections, required for adaptation, are often based on climate model simulations. Given finite resources, trade-offs must be made concerning model resolution, ensemble size and level of model complexity. Here we focus on the resolution component. A given resolution can be achieved over a region using either global climate models (GCMs) or at lower cost using regional climate models (RCMs) that dynamically downscale coarser GCMs. Both approaches to increasing resolution may better capture small-scale processes and features (downscaling effect), but increased GCM resolution may also improve the representation of large-scale atmospheric circulation (upscaling effect). The size of this upscaling effect is therefore important for deciding modelling strategies. Here we evaluate the benefits of increased model resolution for both global and regional climate models for simulating temperature, precipitation and wind extremes over Europe at resolutions that could currently be realistically used for coordinated sets of climate projections at the pan-European scale. First we examine the benefits of regional downscaling by comparing EURO-CORDEX simulations at 12.5 and 50 km resolution to their coarser CMIP5 driving simulations. Secondly, we compare global scale HadGEM3-A simulations at three resolutions (130, 60 and 25 km). Finally, we separate out resolution dependent differences for HadGEM3-A into downscaling and upscaling components using a circulation analogue technique. Results suggest limited benefits of increased resolution for heatwaves, except in reducing hot biases over mountainous regions. Precipitation extremes are sensitive to resolution, particularly over complex orography, with larger totals and heavier tails of the distribution at higher resolution, particularly in the CORDEX vs CMIP5 analysis. CMIP5 models underestimate precipitation extremes, whilst CORDEX simulations overestimate compared to E-OBS, particularly at 12.5 km, but results are sensitive to the observational dataset used, with the MESAN reanalysis giving higher totals and heavier tails than E-OBS. Wind extremes are somewhat stronger and heavier tailed at higher resolution, except at coastal regions where large grid boxes spread strong ocean winds further over land. The circulation analogue analysis suggests that differences with resolution for the HadGEM3-A GCM are primarily due to downscaling effects.
The effect of satellite derived leaf area index and roughness
length information on modelled reactive nitrogen deposition in
north-western Europe
Authors: van der Graaf Shelley C. , Kranenburg Richard , Segers Arjo J. , Schaap Martijn , Erisman Jan Willem
Published: October 2019

Abstract. The nitrogen cycle has been continuously disrupted by human activity over the past century, resulting in almost a tripling of the total reactive nitrogen fixation in Europe. Consequently, excessive amounts of reactive nitrogen (Nr) have manifested in the environment, leading to a cascade of adverse effects, such as acidification and eutrophication of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and particulate matter formation. Chemistry transport models (CTM) are frequently used as tools to simulate the complex chain of processes that determine atmospheric Nr flows. In these models, the parameterization of the atmosphere-biosphere exchange of Nr is largely based on few surface exchange measurement and is therefore known to be highly uncertain. In addition to this, the input parameters that are used here are often fixed values, only linked to specific land use classes. In an attempt to improve this, a combination of multiple satellite products is used to derive updated, time-variant leaf area index (LAI) and roughness length (z0) input maps. As LAI, we use the MODIS MCD15A2H product. The monthly z0 input maps presented in this paper are a function of satellite-derived NDVI values (MYD13A3 product) for short vegetation types (such as grass and arable land) and a combination of satellite-derived forest canopy height and LAI for forests. The use of these growth-dependent satellite products allows us to represent the growing season more realistically. For urban areas, the z0 values are updated, too, and linked to a population density map. The approach to derive these dynamic z0 estimates can be linked to any land use map and is as such transferable to other models. We evaluated the resulting changes in modelled deposition of Nr components using the LOTOS-EUROS CTM, focusing on Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. The implementation of these updated LAI and z0 input maps led to local changes in the total Nr deposition of up to ~ 30 % and a general shift from wet to dry deposition. The most distinct changes are observed in land use specific deposition fluxes. These fluxes may show relatively large deviations, locally affecting estimated critical load exceedances for specific natural ecosystems.
Quantifying Vertical Hyporheic Exchange and hyporheic residence time in thalweg
paths of meandering streams characterized by multiple riffle-pool sequences

Published: October 2019

Abstract. Riffle-pool sequences in the thalweg paths of meandering streams are of pivotal importance to the hyporheic exchange pattern in a fluvial network, but the complex hydrodynamic, morphological, and sedimentary features of riverbed sediments increase the difficulties associated with vertical hyporheic exchange (VHE) quantification. This study applied depth-dependent radon (222Rn) and diel temperature variations to quantify VHE and residence time (tr). The study was conducted in four different hyporheic areas with riffle-pool sequences in the third-order Ghezel-Ozan River, located in north-west Iran. The mean values of temperature-derived VHE (VHET) and radon-derived VHE (VHERn) were 0.67±0.32 m/day and 0.63±0.36 m/day, respectively. Due to effects of sediment bed heterogeneity on temperature variation and 222Rn activity at downwelling and upwelling points, there were discrepancies between radon-derived (trRn) and temperature-derived residence time (trT), with mean values of 2.11±1.17 days and 1.87±1.26 days, respectively. The value of trT was well within uncertainty boundaries at a 95 percent confidence interval (p<0.05) and was lower than trRn at the downwelling points. The analysis of vertical diel temperature, radon and electrical conductivity variations revealed subsurface water exchange to be greatly affected by larger scale regional flow. The comparison between VHET and VHERn with VHE obtained from PHAST model simulation (VHEPHAST) revealed a higher correlation between VHET and VHEPHAST (R2=0.96) than with VHERn (R2=0.76). Furthermore, vertical hydraulic conductivity (Kv) of the sediment-bed materials, calculated in situ by the permeameter test, indicated not only that Kv was up to 21 % higher in areas dominated by upward movement than at downwelling points, but also principle component analysis (PCA) demonstrated the dependence of Kv on porosity, VHE, and %sand of the stream-bed materials. This study provides evidence that vertical flux in the hyporheic zone is mainly affected by stream sinuosity and regional subsurface flow, and that the temperature method is more suitable than radon activity to quantify hyporheic exchange patterns.
Niger discharge from radar altimetry: bridging gaps between gauge and altimetry time series
Authors: Schröder Stefan , Springer Anne , Kusche Jürgen , Uebbing Bernd , Fenoglio-Marc Luciana , Diekkrüger Bernd , Poméon Thomas
Published: October 2019

Abstract. The Niger River represents a challenging target for deriving discharge from spaceborne radar altimeter measurements, particularly since most terrestrial gauges ceased to provide data during the 2000s. Here, we propose deriving altimetric rating curves by “bridging” gaps between time series from gauge and altimeter measurements using hydrological model simulations. We show that classical pulse-limited altimetry (Jason-1 and Jason-2, Envisat, and SARAL/Altika) subsequently reproduces discharge well and enables continuing the gauge time series, albeit at a lower temporal resolution. Also, synthetic aperture
radar (SAR) altimetry picks up the signal measured by earlier altimeters quite well and allows the building of extended time series of higher quality. However, radar retracking is necessary for pulse-limited altimetry and needs to be further investigated for SAR. Moreover, forcing data for calibrating and running the hydrological models must be chosen carefully. Furthermore, stage–discharge relations must be fitted empirically and may need to allow for break points.
THE PRESENCE OF GEOPHYSICAL LOADINGS IN GPS OBSERVATIONS USING GENERAL LEAST SQUARES APPROACHES
Authors: Alihan N. S. A. , Wijaya D. D. , Din A. H. M. , Omar A. H.
Published: October 2019

Abstract. The earth’s crust undergoes natural deformation due to the geophysical loadings that consist of the earth body tide, ocean tide loading, atmospheric pressure loading and pole tide. This periodic displacement is generated by the changes of the gravitational attraction between the moon and the sun acting upon the earth’s rotation, along with the temporal atmospheric changes and the variability of the ocean tide. The study of the geophysical loadings is important in the geodesy field as the magnitude of the signals is significant and can contribute to errors in space geodetic measurements such as Global Positioning System (GPS), Very-Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) and Altimeter. This study is conducted to evaluate the percentage of geophysical loadings in GPS observations by adopting general least square approaches. The presence of the geophysical loadings indicates that as many as 76% to 93% of the geophysical loadings signal are contained in the GPS time series. The findings reveal that earth body tide signals are more significant if compared to ocean tide loading signals because the magnitude of the earth body tide is greater than that of the ocean tide loading and it affects the coordinate system particularly at up component. Results illustrated the potential of GPS to provide the local parameters of the geophysical loadings that are beneficial for earth tidal modelling and that can be used to improve the quality of space geodetic measurements.

Published: October 2019

Abstract. This study focuses on the development of mobile application for complaints in gated and guarded housing areas. This community area is equipped with fences and controlled by the guard. This community is managed by an organization that has been paid to manage the assets, facilities and security in the residential areas. Currently, the existing complaint management medium is by using text messages and WhatsApp. Due to this, it is difficult for the management to review the complaints and this makes the process of managing complaints time consuming. Furthermore, the residents are not well-informed of the current status of the complaints. This application development involves the use of cross platforms for Android and iOS. The application uses location based services (LBS) to find out the complaint address of the user. The data sent are stored in an integrated database with the developed application. This application is tested on site to study its effectiveness. Based on the survey, the results showed that the application is useful in managing resident complaints.

Three-Dimensional Reconstruction of Ocean Circulation from
Coastal Marine Observations: Challenges and Methods
Authors: Manso-Narvarte Ivan , Fredj Erick , Jordà Gabriel , Berta Maristella , Griffa Annalisa , Caballero Ainhoa , Rubio Anna
Published: October 2019

Abstract. Monitoring and investigating the dynamics of coastal currents is crucial for the development of environmentally sustainable coastal activities, in order to preserve marine ecosystems as well as to support marine and navigation safety. This need is driving the set-up of a growing number of multiplatform operational observing systems, aiming to the continuous monitoring of the coastal ocean. A significant percent of the existing observatories is today equipped with land-based High Frequency Radars (HFR), which provide real-time currents with unprecedent coverage and resolution, limited however, to the surface layer. The combination of data from HFR with complementary data from in-situ platforms providing information of the currents at subsurface layers (ADCP moorings) is investigated here to reconstruct the 3D current velocity field from in-situ observations. For this purpose, two methods based on different approaches are used. On the one hand, the Reduced Order Optimal Interpolation which is fed, in this case, with a spatial covariance matrix extracted from a realistic numerical oceanic simulation; and on the other hand, the Discrete Cosine Transform Penalized Least Square, which is a data gap-filling method based on penalized least squares regression that balances fidelity to the data and smoothness of the solution. As a proof of concept, we test the methods’ skills by using emulated observations of currents, extracted from a numerical simulation (3D reference field). The test set-up emulates the real observatory scenario in the study area (south-eastern Bay of Biscay), which includes a long-range HFR and two ADCP moorings inside the HFR footprint area. Then, the reconstructed fields (outputs of the methods) are compared with the 3D reference fields. In general, the results show satisfactory 3D reconstructions with mean spatial (for each depth level) errors between 0.55–10.94 cm s−1 for the first 150 m depth. The methods perform better in well sampled areas, and although different performances between the methods are observed, both show promising skills for the computation of new operational products integrating complementary observations, broadening the applications of in-situ observational data.
Improving the quality of empirical Green's functions, obtained by cross-correlation of high-frequency ambient seismic noise
Authors: Afonin Nikita , Kozlovskaya Elena , Nevalainen Jouni , Narkilahti Janne
Published: October 2019

Abstract. Studying the uppermost structure of the subsurface is a
necessary part of solving many practical problems (exploration of minerals,
groundwater studies, geoengineering, etc.). The practical application of active
seismic methods for these purposes is not always possible for different reasons, such as logistical difficulties, high cost of work, and a high
level of seismic and acoustic noise. That is why developing and improving
passive seismic methods is one of the important problems in applied
geophysics. In our study, we describe a way of improving the quality of
empirical Green's functions (EGFs), evaluated from high-frequency ambient
seismic noise, by using the advanced technique of cross-correlation function stacking in the time domain (in this paper we use term “high-frequency”
for frequencies higher than 1 Hz). The technique is based on the global
optimization algorithm, in which the optimized objective function is a
signal-to-noise ratio of an EGF, retrieved at each iteration. In comparison
to existing techniques, based, for example, on weight stacking of
cross-correlation functions, our technique makes it possible to significantly increase the signal-to-noise ratio and, therefore, the quality of the
EGFs. The technique has been tested with the field data acquired in an area
with a high level of industrial noise (Pyhäsalmi Mine, Finland) and in an
area with a low level of anthropogenic noise (Kuusamo Greenstone Belt,
Finland). The results show that the proposed technique can be used for
the extraction of EGFs from high-frequency seismic noise in practical problems
of mapping of the shallow subsurface, both in areas with high and low levels
of high-frequency seismic noise.
Ground subsidence and heave over permafrost: hourly time series reveal inter-annual, seasonal and shorter-term movement caused by freezing, thawing and water movement
Authors: Gruber Stephan
Published: October 2019

Abstract. Heave and subsidence of the ground surface can offer insight into processes of heat and mass transfer in freezing and thawing soils. Additionally, subsidence is an important metric for monitoring and understanding the transformation of permafrost landscapes under climate change. Corresponding ground observations, however, are sparse and episodic. A simple tilt-arm apparatus with logging inclinometer has been developed to measure heave and subsidence of the ground surface with hourly resolution and millimetre-accuracy. This contribution reports data from the first two winters and the first full summer, measured at three sites with contrasting organic, and frost-susceptible soils in warm permafrost. The patterns of surface movement differ significantly between sites and from a prediction based on the Stefan equation and observed ground temperature. The data is rich in features of heave and subsidence that are several days to several weeks long and that may help elucidate processes in the ground. For example, late-winter heave followed by thawing and subsidence, as reported in earlier literature and hypothesised to be caused by infiltration and refreezing of water into permeable frozen ground, has been detected. An early-winter peak in heave, followed by brief subsidence, is discernible in a previous publication but so far has not been interpreted. An effect of precipitation on changes in surface elevation can be inferred with confidence. These results highlight the potential of ground-based observation of subsidence and heave as an enabler of progress in process understanding, modeling and interpretation of remotely sensed data.

The Multiple Ideologies of Shaping Cambodian Students’ Chinese Language Learning Experiences
Authors: Li Jia , Dong Juan , Li Xia
Published: October 2019

In light of the increasing prominence of China’s Belt and Road (B&R) Initiatives and China’s soft power projection to its neighboring countries, China's relations with Southeast Asian countries are getting closer. In recent years, a large number of Cambodian students have come to China for higher education. Informed by the theories of linguistic capital and language ideology, the present study aims to study the the macro-social factors mediated in the Cambodian students’ Chinese language learning experiences. For current study, the data was collected from Guizhou Minzu University and Qiannan Normal University for Nationalities through semi-structured interview, questionnaire, online interactions, and the collection of linguistic autobiographies as well as other relevant documents and materials. The findings of the study show that there are four main factors influencing Cambodian students’ higher education in China: (i) political factors: national and governmental policies; (ii) cultural factors: historical influences; (iii) educational factors: influences of schools and communities, parental strategies; (iv) economic factors: employment prospects and tourism. Based on the findings mentioned above, the study suggests that given the rapid increasing number of Cambodian international students in China, it is imperative for Chinese government and universities to consider how to better meet Cambodian international students’ study needs and employment prospects.

Effect of Extreme Weather Events on the Sedimentation of the Bay of Samaná, Dominican Republic (1900–2016)
Authors: Delanoy Ramón A. , Díaz-Asencio Misael , Méndez-Tejeda Rafael
Published: October 2019

The Bay of Samaná, formed by tectonism and sedimentation, is delimited to the north by the peninsula of the same name, to the south by the north slope of the Eastern Mountain Range and Los Haitises National Park, to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, and to the west by the ancient Gran Estero, today the Lower Yuna. There follows a process of continuous degradation by the existing tectonic forces and the sediment contributions by the Yuna, Yabón, and La Yeguada rivers to the south as well as by the landslides of the mountainous area of the Samaná Peninsula, during periods of storms and hurricanes. The coastal area of Samaná Bay has altered by 2.17 km2 at the mouth of the Yuna River from 2003–2015. The high turbidity level has affected coral reefs and marine species.  The  mangroves  are  lost  faster  than  they  are  regenerated  by  the  coastline’s change. Variations in the elemental compositions of calcium and iron show the terrigenous influence on the dynamics of the bay during Extreme Weather Events (EWP) in the river basins that flow into it. Abrupt changes in the rainfall regime produced an equal change in the estuary sedimentation regime, according to the 210Pb. In the 2007–2016 period, a column of sediment that reached 38 cm and a 12 cm to 8.4 km column were deposited 4 km southeast of the municipality of Sánchez and east of the mouth of the Yuna River. The Sedimentary Accumulation Rate is very high, and

the content of heavy metals exceeds the threshold values of Table SQuirt.

Statistical Tools and Methods Used in Works Published in “Folia Turistica” between 1990-2018
Authors: Matusik Stanisław
Published: October 2019

Purpose. The aim of the study was to discuss the use of tools and methods of statistical analysis, as well as forms of graphic presentation of results obtained in articles published in “Folia Turistica” during the last 30 years of its history.

Method. The basic method was a review of all articles in terms of the use of statistical methods applied in scientific papers published in “Folia Turistica” in the years 1990 - 2018 (volumes 1- 49).

Findings. Out of 486 articles published in 49 volumes of “Folia Turistica” from 1990-2018, 31% used statistical tools and methods. The graphic presentation of analysis of results can be found in 78 articles (including 12 publications with prepared maps), the use of statistical tests in 35 articles, and the use of multi-dimensional statistical methods in 28 articles. An important part of the works are methodological publications. The authors used statistical parametric and non-parametric tests, linear and non-linear regression models, taxonomic and factor analysis and (in individual cases) relatively rare tests, including those related to spatial analyses (I-Moran and Isard coefficient).

Research and conclusions limitations. The work concerns the use of statistical tools and methods in scientific articles in “Folia Turistica” issue No. 1-49. In some works, there was no verification of the applicability assumptions of selected statistical tools or justification for their selection, or the purposes of the research were too general.

Practical implications. The indicated tools and methods of statistical analysis may be inspiration for authors and readers of scientific papers in the preparation of numerical data and forms of their presentation.

Originality. Meta-analysis was prepared on the occasion of the anniversary edition of the 50th issue of “Folia Turistica”.

Type of paper. The article is a review.
The Contribution of ”Folia Turistica” to the Development and Popularisation of Philosophical Research on Tourism
Authors: Zowisło Maria
Published: October 2019

Purpose. A review and discussion of philosophical works published in the “Folia Turistica” journal and the categorical, thematic and problematic contribution of philosophical reflections contained in them to multidisciplinary research on tourism.

Method. Query of 49 issues of “Folia Turistica”, selection of articles and reviews on tourism from the perspective of philosophical disciplines or selected philosophical concepts. Analysis, comparison, interpretation oriented towards an existential sense, values and ideas, synthesis.

Findings. The review of philosophical publications in the “Folia Turistica” journal has demonstrated the quantitatively and qualitatively significant contribution of philosophical approaches, interpretation and conceptualisation of tourism and the mobility of human travel to tourism research. The specificity of the philosophical problematisation of the phenomenon of travel consists in highlighting and analysing its ideal, essential, existential, epistemic and symbolic qualities and meanings that find its significance in the axiological preferences, in the area of intentionality, attitudes and experiences.

Research and conclusions limitations. The work is limited to the description and comparative analysis of articles published on the pages of one journal, its results and generalisations are, therefore, not a universal concept.

Practical implications. Promotion of the “Folia Turistica” journal in the Polish and global academic debate on the multi-faceted phenomenon of tourism. Outlining the philosophy of tourism as an innovative and inspirational field of research.

Originality. The work is a discussion and interpretation of publications of other authors-philosophers, but it contains elements of independent interpretation and synthetic recapitulation.

Type of work. Presentation, description and qualitative interpretation of theoretical analyses of tourism in the field of philosophy and its sub-disciplines, as well as investigations conducted from the perspective of selected philosophical positions (phenomenology, hermeneutics, existentialism, metaphysics of hope, etc.).

Mickey Mantle and Ted Williams Hitting a Baseball
Authors: Sample Tex ,   The Polanyi Society
Published: October 2019

This paper interprets the batting styles of Mickey Mantle and Ted Williams utilizing key concepts of the Michael Polanyi Reader. In doing so it demonstrates the thoughtful organization of Polanyi’s work in the Reader, on the one hand, and the explanatory and descriptive power of Polanyi’s thought about practices on the other. Key Polanyi concepts utilized in this paper include: indwelling, the specifiable and the unspecifiable, connoisseurship, a-critical and critical judgment, knowledge and knowing as action, understanding, and commitment with its personal and universal poles.

In this brief essay, I respond to three generous reviews of my annotated anthology of Michael Polanyi’s comprehensive thought. Where my meaning or Polanyi’s thought seems unclear or controversial, I offer my rationale for my usage or interpretations.
A atualidade De John Dewey para a educação: mais arte, não menos
Authors:   USP, Cunha Marcus Vinicius da
Published: October 2019

Este trabalho busca mostrar que John Dewey oferece valiosa contribuição para o desenvolvimento de reflexões sobre os problemas educacionais dos dias de hoje. Para cumprir esse objetivo, o trabalho desenvolve um estudo sobre o livro Arte como experiência de Dewey, com o intuito de discutir o vínculo estabelecido pelo autor entre os dois conceitos que formam o título– arte e experiência. Os resultados desse estudo são transportados para a educação – assunto não focalizado no referido livro – considerando o cenário educacional atual. A metodologia utilizada é a análise retórica, em conformidade com os trabalhos do Grupo de Pesquisa Retórica e Argumentação na Pedagogia (USP/CNPq), cujos fundamentos encontram-se na obra de Aristóteles, em especial nos Tópicos e na Retórica, segundo a interpretação feita por Chaïm Perelman e outros integrantes do movimento contemporâneo de revisão da filosofia Aristotélica. O trabalho conclui que a transposição dos conceitos estéticos de Dewey para a educação traz várias contribuições aos educadores, apoiando medidas inovadoras, como o uso das artes na escola e a criação de novos métodos para o ensino da arte, e também oferecendo inspiração para transformar a educação em uma experiência gratificante e humanizadora. Tais contribuições, no entanto, devem ser confrontadas com a radicalidade política que está presente nas análises feitas por Dewey sobre a cultura contemporânea.

Exposure to traumatic events and perceptual priming in forcedly displaced Colombian population in Ecuador
Authors: Reyes Valenzuela Carlos , Martos-Méndez María José , Blanco Abarca Amalio , Blanco Rubén
Published: October 2019

Los recientes estudios en priming perceptivo se han centrado en identificar las diferencias entre población con y sin Trastorno por Estrés Postraumático (TEPT) confirmando la hipótesis que el TEPT representa un trastorno de la memoria. En este trabajo, se pretende abordar el priming en personas que han estado expuestas a diversas experiencias traumáticas relacionadas con el desplazamiento forzado. Para ello se diseñaron tres categorías de palabras “trauma” (i.e., de amenaza, emocional y judicial) y una categoría de palabras “neutra”, las cuales compartían su raíz de tres letras en 44 colombianos refugiados y solicitantes de asilo que residen en Ecuador con presencia o ausencia de TEPT. Los resultados confirman que las personas con TEPT presentan mayor priming perceptivo en las categorías de amenaza y emociones y los solicitantes de asilo en la categoría judicial. Se discuten las implicaciones para los estudios que abordan el impacto de violencia política.

In line with the hypothesis that PTSD is a memory disorder, recent studies on perceptual priming have focused on identifying the differences between population with and without Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This study addresses priming in people who have been exposed to traumatic experiences of forced displacement. To that end, three categories of the word “trauma” (i.e., of threat, emotional and judicial) and a category of “neutral” words, which shared their three-letter root were chosen. The participants were 44 Colombian refugees and asylum seekers living in Ecuador with or without PTSD. The results of our study point that people with PTSD have higher perceptual priming in the threat and emotional categories, and asylum seekers show higher priming in the judicial category. The implications for studies that address the impact of political violence are discussed.
El impacto del reforzamiento ambiental reducido en la predicción de la severidad de la depresión en cuidadores

Published: October 2019

Pese a sus dificultades para realizar actividades agradables y la alta prevalencia de depresión, no se ha analizado el refuerzo como predictor de la depresión en la población de cuidadores. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el refuerzo como predictor del nivel de depresión (sin depresión, depresión subclínica, episodio depresivo mayor) en cuidadores. Evaluadores independientes evaluaron las variables sociodemográficas del cuidador, la persona cuidada y la situación de cuidado, el refuerzo y la sintomatología depresiva mediante autoinformes, y clínicos expertos evaluaron el episodio depresivo mayor mediante la SCID-5-CV, en 592 cuidadores (87.2% mujeres; edad media = 55.4 años). La puntuación media en refuerzo fue 28.1. El refuerzo fue menor en cuidadores ≤55 años y de clase social baja-media/baja. Y mayor en cuidadores sin depresión que en aquellos con depresión subclínica y episodio depresivo mayor, y en cuidadores con depresión subclínica frente a aquellos con episodio depresivo mayor. Los cuidadores con mayor refuerzo tenían menor probabilidad de depresión subclínica (adjusted OR = 0.78, 95% CI 0.75-0.83) y episodio depresivo mayor (adjusted OR = 0.67, 95% CI 0.62-0.72). El refuerzo fue un factor de protección frente a la depresión subclínica y el episodio depresivo mayor en cuidadores.

Reward has not been examined as a predictor of depression in the caregiver population despite the high prevalence of depression. The aim of this study was to analyze reward as a predictor of the level of depression (without depression, subclinical depression, major depressive episode) in caregivers. Independent evaluators evaluated the socio-demographic variables of the caregiver, the person receiving care, the situation of care, reward and depressive symptomatology through self-reports. Expert clinicians evaluated the prevalence of major depressive episodes using the SCID-5-CV in 592 caregivers (87.2% women, average age = 55.4 years). The average reward score was 28.1. Reward was lower in caregivers younger than 55 years old who belonged to a low/low-middle social class. Reward was higher in caregivers without depression than in those with subclinical depression and a major depressive episode. Reward was also higher in caregivers with subclinical depression versus those with a major depressive episode. Caregivers with higher reward had a lower probability of subclinical depression (adjusted OR = 0.78, 95% CI 0.75-0.83) and a major depressive episode (adjusted OR = 0.67, 95% CI 0.62-0.72). Reward was a protective factor against subclinical depression and a major depressive episode in caregivers.
Do healthy preterm children have behavior problems?
Authors: Pérez-Pereira Miguel , Baños Lua
Published: October 2019

Objetivo: En este estudio, se compararán los problemas de comportamiento de los niños prematuros sanos y a término. También se estudiará el efecto de las condiciones ambientales y neonatales en la tasa de problemas de comportamiento, prestando especial atención a la depresión materna y al estrés de los padres. Estudios anteriores encontraron tasas de prevalencia significativamente mayores de problemas totales en niños prematuros. La mayoría de estos estudios se llevaron a cabo con niños prematuros menores de 32 semanas de edad gestacional. En contraste, algunos estudios realizados con niños moderadamente prematuros no encontraron diferencias significativas. Método: Evaluamos 108 niños prematuros de bajo riesgo y 33 niños de término completo a través del Child Behavior Checklist cuando tenían 5 años de edad. El estrés y la depresión de sus madres también fueron evaluados. Resultados: No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los grupos prematuros y los de término completo en cuanto a la internalización o la externalización general de los problemas de conducta, ni a los problemas de conducta más específicos, como la ansiedad, la atención o la agresión. No se encontró ningún efecto de la edad gestacional en la tasa de problemas de conducta. En contraste, el estrés materno, pero no la depresión materna, fue un fuerte predictor de problemas de conducta. Conclusiones: Estos resultados indican que los problemas de conducta no son característicos de los niños prematuros como grupo, sino solo de los niños muy o extremadamente prematuros.

Background/Objective. In this study, the behavior problems of healthy preterm and full-term children will be compared. The effect of environmental and neonatal conditions on the rate of behavior problems, with special attention to maternal depression and parental stress, will also be studied.

Previous studies found significantly higher prevalence rates of total problems in preterm children. Most of these studies were carried out with preterm children under 32 weeks of gestational age. In contrast, some studies carried out with moderately preterm children found no significant difference.

Method. We assessed 108 low risk preterm children and 33 full-term children through the Child Behavior Checklist when they were 5 years-old. Their mothers` stress and depression were also assessed.

Results. No significant difference was found between the preterm and the full-term groups for overall, internalizing or externalizing behavior problems, or for more fine-grained behavior problems such as anxiety, attention or aggression problems. No effect of gestational age on the rate of behavior problems was found. In contrast maternal stress, but not maternal depression, was a strong predictor of behavior problems.

Conclusions. These results indicate that behavior problems are not characteristic of preterm children as a group, but only of very or extremely preterm children.
