Theoretical approach of teaching lithosphere in junior high school: A critical review of the content and objectives defined by the curriculum of the Ministry of Education
Authors: Leontakianakos G. , Vrachas C. , Baziotis G. , Soultati G. , Fermeli G.
Published: January 2017

The purpose of this study is an attempt to define the lithosphere concept, as described in the textbook “Geology-Geography” of the 1st Grade of junior highschool. Further we investigate whether the objectives of the corresponding chapter are being implemented according to the curriculum of the Ministry of Education. The main research hypothesis concentrates on the very limited cognitive background of the students regarding the lithosphere. It is based on the absence of a wellorganized framework of proportional and gradually increased and specialized flow of knowledge, as suggest the few generalised concepts on the subject of Geography taught on the 5th and 6th grade of the Primary School. According to the Curriculum of the “Geology–Geography” of the Ministry of Education, the lithosphere chapter requires fifteen didactic hours for a sum of nine complexes, mostly cognitive objectives. However, the textbook contains only five didactic hours, an indicator of an asymmetric state of the Curriculum. Our opinion about curriculum content itself, which describes the lithosphere, compared to the strictly scientific definition, is that it represents a simplistic approach and consequently the materialization of the cognitive goals is doubtful.
MINERALOGICAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ANCIENT SHERDS AND EXPERIMENTAL CERAMICS: INDICES FOR FIRING CONDITIONS AND POST- BURIAL ALTERATION
Authors: Rathossi C. , Pontikes Y. , Tsolis-Katagas P.
Published: January 2017

Results are reported regarding laboratory-scale experimental work aiming to reproduce ceramic specimens with macro and micro characteristics similar to ancient sherds. Small differences in mineralogical composition between ancient sherds and experimental ceramics elucidated the effect of the firing conditions and the degree of post-burial alteration of ancient ceramics. Scarsity of gehlenite (Ca2Al2SiO7) in sherds for which firing temperature has been estimated between 800 to 950°C, led to higher Fs/Gh (fassaite/gehlenite) ratio in respect to that recorded for the ceramic specimens. This fact is attributed to the dissolution of gehlenite during the post-burial alteration, the ancient ceramics were subjected to, but also due to the short sintering duration (i.e. higher heating rate and/or low soaking time) applied by the potters in some cases.

GEOLOGICAL AND GEOTECHNICAL BEHAVIOUR OF EVINOS DAM FOLLOWING THE IMPOUNDMENT
Authors: Angelopoulos A. , Soulis V.J. , Malandraki V.
Published: January 2017

The Evinos dam built between 1993 and 1997. The period of construction followed a period of rest until 2001. The impoundment of the Evinos Dam and the subsequent 3rd operational period took place between 2001 and 2005. The 4th period of operation commenced in February 2005 and concerns the period of regular operation of Dam Evinos after completion. During this period, sufficient data have been gathered for the evaluation of the geotechnical behaviour of both Evinos Dam itself and the stabilization works on the two landslides that occurred (Landslide of the left abutment ’93, Landslide of Ag.Demetrios-Arahova country road). Specialized personnel of the Department of the Evinos Dam of the Athens Water Supply and Sewage Company S.A are responsible for the in-situ collection of instrumental readings. On the other hand specialized personnel of the Division of Raw Water Intake of Athens Water Supply and Sewage Company S.A are assigned to evaluate the dam’s behaviour. The infiltration of water within the Dam’s core is continuously monitored together with the horizontal movement and settlement upstream and downstream the dam’s body through a considerable number of vibrating wire piezometers, earth pressure cells, extensiometers, inclinometers and surface monumental stations. The behaviour of the stabilization interventions in the landslide area’s are evaluated through measurement of topographic monuments ,open piezometers and drainage measurements. The evaluation of the instrumental measurerements confirms the expected behavior of the dam and the satisfactory performance of the stabilization interventions in the landslide area’s
ENGINEERING GEOLOGICAL ASPECTS FOR THE MICROZONATION OF THE CITY OF VOLOS, GREECE
Authors: Antoniou A. A. , Tsiambaos G.
Published: January 2017

The city of Volos located at the foot of the Peninsula of Pelion at Central Greece experienced several strong earthquakes during the previous century. The engineering geological conditions of the city have been analyzed using a relational geotechnical database management system, while the city subsoil has been grouped into five geotechnical units. The maps showing the contours of the depth to bedrock head and the ground zoning against seismic hazard were compiled through GIS. For the compilation of the latter map, a set of unified classification criteria was proposed based on the Greek Seismic Code (EAK 2000).
EVALUATING THE TRIGGERING FACTORS OF THE ROCK FALLS OF 16TH AND 21ST DECEMBER 2009 IN NEA FOKEA, CHALKIDIKI, NORTHERN GREECE

Published: January 2017

This paper aims to present the characteristics of the rock falls generated on the 16th and 21st of December 2009 at the Nea Moudania – Kassandria country road in Kassandra Peninsula, Chalkidiki, Greece. Both of those events induced damages to the asphalt road and forced the local authorities to close the road to traffic until the construction of protective measures. In order to evaluate the rock fall hazard and analyze the slope instability in the area, the present study focuses on three main triggering factors: rainfall, stratigraphy and tectonic setting.
MACROSEISMICITY AND GEOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF THE WENCHUAN EARTHQUAKE (MS 8.0R - 12 MAY 2008), SICHUAN, CHINA: MACRO-DISTRIBUTION AND COMPARISON OF EMS1998 AND ESI2007 INTENSITIES
Authors: Lekkas E.
Published: January 2017

The Wenchuan earthquake of the 12th of May 2008, in Sichuan county of China can be classified as a large scale event based on the tectonic structures that triggered the earthquake and the effects caused on the human, structural and natural environment. The aim of this paper is to present the geotectonic and seismotectonic regime of the earthquake affected region based on field data along the seismic fault zone and an attempt is made towards the: (i) estimation of the intensity values according to EMS1998 (European Microseismic Scale, 1998) and ESI2007 (Environmental Seismic Intensity Scale, 2007) and the determination of their geographical distribution in a macroscale, (ii) interpretation of the intensity values data and their distribution according to the seismotectonic, geodynamic and geotechnical regime, and (iii) conduction of a comparative evaluation review on the application of both EMS1998 and ESI2007. The application of both EMS1998 and ESI2007 and the comparative evaluation of the results indicate that the estimated values of EMS1998 and ESI2007 were almost in agreement, despite the fact that the geographical locations of assessment data were different suggesting that the application and use of both scales appears to represent a useful and reliable tool for seismic hazard estimation.

Authors: Papathanassiou G. , Valkaniotis S. , Chaztipetros Al. , Pavlides S.
Published: January 2017

The basic goal of this study is the delineation of liquefaction susceptibility zones by correlating geological, geomorphological, seismological and past liquefaction occurrences information. A liquefaction susceptibility map should be used as a screening guide by decision makers for avoiding in advance prone to liquefaction areas. In order to compile this map, we took into consideration published data regarding the surficial distribution of geological units (IGME), the seismic hazard zonation in Greece as it is defined by the Earthquake Palling and Protection Organization and the distribution of historical liquefaction occurrences provided by the relatively database DALO v1.0 http://users.auth.gr/gpapatha/dalo.htm ). Initially, Quaternary age deposits were classified into categories of susceptibility based on their age and depositional process, having considered the designed value of acceleration. Afterwards, areas where past liquefaction occurrences were reported have been upgraded one level. The result obtained by this study is that as very high susceptibility zones are considered the coastal areas at the Ionian Islands and at the Gulf of Corinth

GEOCHEMICAL STUDY OF THE URBAN AND SUBURBAN AREA OF NAFPLION CITY, ARGOLIDHA PREFECTURE, HELLAS
Authors: Tassiou S. , Vassiliades E.
Published: January 2017

Soil, as the primary receptor of anthropogenic urban contamination acts as a sink for a variety of toxic and other hazardous substances. It constitutes, therefore, an indicator of contamination and may be utilised geochemically to assess environmental quality of urban and suburban areas. In Nafplion, an urban and suburban area of 50 km2 , was investigated using for the first time in Hellas an integrated approach with all available geoscientific techniques to make an in-depth environmental impact assessment. One of these techniques was applied geochemistry, which mapped the geochemistry of surface soil (0-10 cm) with 144 samples, collected on a regular grid of 500 x 500 km. The following fifty determinands were measured on the soil samples: Ag, Al, As, B, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ga, Ge, Hg, K, La, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Nb, Ni, P, Pb, Rb, Re, S, Sb, Sc, Se, Sn, Sr, Ta, Te, Th, Ti, Tl, U, V, W, Y, Zn, Zr, pH, electrical conductivity and grain-size distribution. The aim of the geochemical study was to distinguish, as far as possible, the origin of chemical elements, and (i) to classify them as geogenic or anthropogenic; (ii) to delineate contaminated areas, and (iii) to assess potential future impacts of human activities on soil. Interpretation of the resulting geochemical patterns has shown that those of Al, Fe, Be, Ce, Cr, Co, Ga, Ge, K, La, Li, Mg, Nb, Ni, Rb, Sc, Sr, Tl, V, Y, W and Zr are of geogenic origin, since they are directly related to parent rocks, whereas patterns of As, B, Ba, Bi, Ca, Cd, Cu, Mn, Mo, Na, P, Pb, S, Sb, Sn, Th, U and Zn are interpreted as being of dual origin, geogenic and anthropogenic. In this paper, the geochemical distribution of only five elements shall be described, i.e., Pb, Zn, Cu, Ni and Na. This case study was indeed very interesting, since for the interpretation of some patterns, even the military history of the area had to be unravelled.
MORPHOTECTONIC ANALYSIS OF THE NEOTECTONIC AND ACTIVE FAULTS OF BEOTIA (CENTRAL GREECE), USING G.I.S. TECHNIQUES
Authors: Sboras S. , Ganas A. , Pavlides S.
Published: January 2017

We study the neotectonic regime and evolution of the central-eastern part of the Asopos River basin (Beotia, Central Greece) which is an area undergoing crustal extension. The main tools that were used in this research were a) field mapping of neotectonic and active normal faults and b) morphotectonic analysis of 59 catchments, which was carried out by GIS techniques. Our results include a) series of maps displaying the spatial variation of morphotectonic indices (sinuosity, asymmetry factor, valley-floor-to-height-ratio etc) and b) map of neotectonic fault segments with associated faultslip data. The morphotectonic analysis indicates that if normal faults in this area are active, they are capable of generating earthquakes with M >6.0.

Authors: Dimitrakopoulos D. , Vassiliou E. , Tsangaratos P. , Ilia I.
Published: January 2017

Mining activities causes many environmental problems to the surrounding areas, as other industrial activities do also. However mine water pollution, is considered a tough task to handle, as it requires specific regulations, quite distinct from those applicable to most other industrial processes. Even though there are several federal laws and regulations in Greece and in the European Union that influences the mining industry and mine water management, still certain factors complicates their implementation. The aim of this paper is to present a brief description of mining legislation in European Union and in Greece and also the efforts of Public Power Corporation (DEI), to integrate the Directive 2000/60/EC and Greek legislation in mining sector. The study is focused in Megalopolis open pit and in its surrounding, where lignite exploitation takes place and management of mine water is implemented. The outcomes of this effort are evaluated, considering the specific environmental conditions of the surrounding area and suggestions and methods, for mine water management, are proposed.
THE APPLICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MAGNETISM TECHNIQUES FOR POLLUTION ASSESSMENT IN URBAN AND SUBURBAN AREAS IN GREECE: STATE OF THE ART AND CASE STUDIES
Authors: Zananiri I. , Kondopoulou D. , Spassov S.
Published: January 2017

Environmental magnetism is a comparatively new discipline, applied in Greece only during the last decade for the study of anthropogenic pollution. The rationale of the method is based on the property of iron oxides and sulphides to attract and absorb heavy metals, organic contaminants and even radioactive pollutants. Thus, the measurement of the magnetic susceptibility, both in situ and in the laboratory, along with several other magnetic parameters constitutes a rapid and cost effective technique for characterization and mapping spatial pollution distribution. In order to quantify the correlation between magnetic susceptibility and a specific pollutant for a studied area geochemical analyses are carried out for key samples. Towards the scope of pollution assessment environmental magnetism studies have been recently carried out in the Kozani-Ptolemaida basin and the tanneries of Thessaloniki. The preliminary results of these two cases, characterized by different contaminant sources, i.e. flying ash pollution in the former and heavy metal in the latter, are presented here. In general, the application of magnetic methods proved a useful tool in the assessment of the main sources of pollution and the location of spatial distribution of major contaminants.
A CROSS-CORRELATION TECHNIQUE FOR RELOCATION OF SEISMICITY IN THE WESTERN CORINTH RIFT
Authors: Kapetanidis V. , Papadimitriou P. , Makropoulos K.
Published: January 2017

Local seismological networks provide data that allow the location of microearthquakes which otherwise would be dismissed due to low magnitudes and low signal-to-noise ratios of their seismic signals. The Corinth Rift Laboratory (CRL) network, installed in the western Corinth rift, has been providing digital waveform data since 2000. In this work, a semi-automatic picking technique has been applied which exploits the similarity between waveforms of events that have occurred in approximately the same area of an active fault. Similarity is measured by the crosscorrelation maxi-mum of full signals. Events with similar waveforms are grouped in multiplet clusters using the nearest-neighbour linkage algorithm. Manually located events act as masters, while automatically located events of each multiplet cluster act as slaves. By cross-correlating the P-wave or S-wave segments of a master event with the corresponding segments of each of its slave events, after appropriately aligning their offsets, the measured time-lag at the cross-correlation maximum can be subtracted from the arrival-time of the slave event. After the correction of the arrival-times, a double-difference technique is applied to the modified catalogue to further improve the locations of clusters and distinguish the active seismogenic structures in the tectonically complex Western Corinth rift.
ANISOTROPY STUDY OF THE FEBRUARY 4TH 2008 SWARM IN NW PELOPONNESUS (GREECE)
Authors: Kaviris G. , Papadimitriou P. , Makropoulos K.
Published: January 2017

The Gulf of Corinth, located in central Greece, is characterized by normal faulting and by high seismicity since the antiquity. On 4 February 2008 a seismic swarm burst in NW Peloponnesus characterized by the occurrence of two moderate-size earthquakes of moment magnitudes 4.7 and 4.5, respectively. Analysis of the data revealed the existence of shear-wave splitting. The events that were chosen for the anisotropy study fit the selection criteria, having clear and impulsive S wave arrival phases on the horizontal components. In addition, the amplitude of the S wave phase on the vertical component was smaller than on the horizontal ones. The representations that were used to determine the polarization direction of the fast split shear wave, the time delay between the two split shear waves and the polarization direction of the source were the polarigram and the hodogram. The uniform fast shear wave polarizations, irrespective of the azimuth of each event, are consistent with the general NNE-SSW direction of extension in the Gulf and, therefore, in agreement with the extensive dilatancy anisotropy (EDA) model. Finally, a decrease of the time delay values was observed after the occurrence of the first moderate earthquake, implying changes of the medium’s properties.

Published: January 2017

The region of northern Aegean has suffered several strong earthquakes since the beginning of the 20th century, causing extensive damage and loss of lives. For the seismic hazard assessment in the area, several studies have been accomplished, among them being the ones dealing with the Coulomb stress changes due to the seismic slip caused by major earthquakes, in addition with the constant tectonic loading on the major regional faults. The aim of the present study is to evaluate if seismicity rate changes from 1964 to 2008 are associated with changes in the stress field. For this purpose the stronger events (Μw>5.8) that occurred in this period were considered and their contribution to the stress field evolution was investigated by calculations performed just before and after their occurrence. This influence was then examined in connection with the occurrence rate of small events (Μw > 3.8) for the respective time intervals. After defining the probability density function (PDF) of the small events distribution, a rate/state model was used to correlate static stress changes with seismicity rate and to compare the observed with the expected seismicity rate for each time period.
THE APRIL 2007 SWARM IN TRICHONIS LAKE USING DATA FROM A MICROSEISMIC NETWORK

Published: January 2017

A series of strong earthquakes took place at the Trichonis lake area, during April 2007. Three events, with M~5.0 occurred within one day, causing damages to almost all nearby villages and especially at the small town of Thermo. The sequence lasted for more than one month with small to moderate size events. It was recorded by regional networks and results related to its time and space evolution have already been published. Just after the major events a microseismic network was deployed in the area, by the University of Patras, Seismology Laboratory. Eight stations were installed, with short period, three component sensors and portable digital recorders. The network was in operation for a period of one month and a lot of events were recorded by enough stations to provide a reliable location. We present here the analysis of these data using modern methodologies like waveform cross-correlation techniques and further relocation of the events using waveform based differential time. The results partially support the findings of the regional networks, as regards the gross characteristics of the aftershock sequence, but provide an enhanced description of it. The space time evolution of the aftershock sequence reveals the activation of more than one fault in the area and suggests the connection of the sequence with an unmapped fault.

Published: January 2017

The evaluation of the parameters c and k of the decay law of the aftershocks in an earthquake sequence has been carried out in this study. For this reason 170 seismic sequences globally distributed, during the time period 1964-1986, were performed. All of them modelled well by Omori’s law. We estimated that the mean global values of and parameters , are 0.660+0.181 and - 0.341+0.090, respectively. The values of these parameters are also estimated for different regions of the world, west and east part of circum-Pacific rim, as well as for the Eurasia belt.The parameters c and k calculated for the various regions of the world found to be spread around the global average, although admittedly few exceptions to this generalization are also observed to exist.
SEMI-MARKOV MODELS FOR SEISMIC HAZARD ASSESSMENT IN CERTAIN AREAS OF GREECE
Authors: Votsi I. , Limnios N. , Tsaklidis G. , Papadimitriou E.
Published: January 2017

The long-term probabilistic seismic hazard is studied through the application of semi-Markov model. In this model a sequence of earthquakes is considered as a Markov process and the waiting time distributions depend only on the type of the last and the next event. The principal hypothesis of the model is the property of one-step memory, according to which the probability of moving to any future state depends only on the present state. The model under consideration defines a continuous-time, discrete-state stationary process in which successive state occupancies are governed by the transition probabilities of the Markov process. The space of states is considered to be finite and the process started far in the past has achieved stationarity. Firstly, a non-parametric method is applied in order to determine the waiting times. Then, the waiting times derived by means of the exponential and Weibull distributions will be compared to each other, as well as with the actual waiting times. Thus, the probability of occurrence of the anticipated earthquakes of a specific magnitude scale is calculated. The models are applied to an historical catalogue for Northern Aegean Sea.

H Ποίηση μέσα στη Στιγμή ή η Στιγμή μέσα στην Ποίηση
Authors: Ioannou Yiannis E.
Published: January 2017

Το θέμα της ποιητικής στιγμής δεν είναι νέο στη γαλλική ποίηση. Πολλοί είναι οι ποιητές που προσέγγισαν το θέμα του χρόνου και επικεντρώθηκαν στη δυνατότητα αποδιάρθρωσης του, και στη βίωση μέσα από τη διάρκεια τους, των συστατικών του στιγμών. Στη νεότερη και σύγχρονη γαλλική ποίηση, προχωρά)ντας ένα βήμα παραπέρα, ποιητές όπως ο Baudelaire, ο Rimbaud, ο Char και θεωρητικοί όπως ο Bachelard και ο Poulet αποδίδουν ή μελετούν τη διάρκεια και τη σημασία της ποιητικής στιγμής και γενικότερα του χρόνου μέσα στη διαδικασία της καλλιτεχνικής δημιουργίας. Μερικοί απ' αυτούς, έμμεσα ή άμεσα, συνειδητά ή ασυνείδητα συσχετίζουν τη διάρκεια μέσα στο στιγμιαίο και το φευγαλέο με το φαινόμενο της έμπνευσης. Ο Ελύτης, με τη σειρά του, ενήμερος και επηρεασμένος από g; τη γενεαλογία αυτή, διατυπώνει ενδιαφέρουσες απόψεις γύρω από το θέμα. Είναι η *~Γ έμπνευση μια στιγμιαία αναλαμπή που εκδηλώνεται και εξαφανίζεται αμέσο, ή μήπως πρόκειται απλά για μια κατάσταση αυτοπειθαρχίας που [κπορεί να δημιουργηθεί ανά πάσα στιγμή; Μπορεί, όπως στην περίπτωση των υπερρεαλιστών, να εκβιασθεί ή όχι; Ή ακόμα, ένα καλό ποίημα είναι συνολικά εμπνευσμένο ή μόνο μερικοί στίχοι ή εικόνες μπορούν να ανταποκριθούν στον χαρακτηρισμό αυτό, ενώ το υπόλοιπο είναι αποτέλεσμα της εντατικής και επίπονης επεξεργασίας του κειμένου; Η μελέτη της ποίησης μέσα στη στιγμή ή αντίστροφα, της στιγμής μέσα στην ποίηση,  μπορεί νομίζουμε να φωτίσει το θέμα από μιά νέα οπτική γωνία και να θέσει ξανά το πρόβλημα της καλλιτεχνικής δημιουργίας γενικότερα.

Η εμφάνιση των πρώτων λόγιων Ελληνίδων της νεότερης εποχής στα τέλη του 18ου, αλλά κυρίως στις πρώτες δεκαετίες του 19ου αιώνα, φαίνεται πως είναι άρρηκτα συνδεδεμένη με τις ιδέες του ευρωπαϊκού Διαφωτισμού. Πρώτοι αποδέκτες των ιδεών αυτών υπήρξαν οι φαναριώτικοι κύκλοι και αυτοί των Ελλήνων λογίων. Στους κύκλους αυτούς συναντούμε τις πρώτες Ελληνίδες δημιουργούς (ποιήτριες και θεατρικές συγγραφείς), τις πρώτες μεταφράστριες, αλλά και τις πρώτες σκηνοθέτιδες και ηθοποιούς. Θεωρητικός των ιδεών που διέπουν αυτή την τεράστια επανάσταση για το γυναικείο φύλο, ο οποίος νομιμοποιεί όχι μόνο το δικαίωμα των Ελληνίδων στη γνώση αλλά και στη δημόσια έκφραση της. είναι, όπως φανερώνεται από την αλληλογραφία του με την Ευανθία Κάί'ρη, ο πατέρας του ελληνικού Διαφωτισμού Αδαμάντιος Κοραής.

Μέρος της κίνησης που θα καταλήξει στη δημιουργία της λογοτεχνικής πεζογραφίας κατά την περίοδο της πνευματικής αφύπνισης του ελληνισμού (στα χρόνια 1770-1820) αποτελούν οι διαδοχικές εκδόσεις του έργου του Ιταλού συγγραφέα του 17ου αιώνα Francesco Loredano Scherzi geniali (1632), ενώ η μετάφραση του ηθοπλαστικού μυθιστορήματος του Fénelon Les aventures de Télémaque (1699) συνδέεται με την ανάπτυξη ενός σύνθετου προβληματισμού σχετικά με τη μεταφραστική διαδικασία αλλά και τα συστατικά στοιχεία που συγκροτούν τη δομή του έργου. Στον φθίνοντα 18ο αιώνα ο Σπυρίδων Βλαντής μεταφράζει είκοσι δύο διηγήματα από το Decamerone (1471) του Boccaccio, χωρίς να ενδιαφέρεται ιδιαίτερα για τη λογοτεχνική αξία του έργου. Ένα άλλο σημαντικό έργο που γνώρισε ευρύτατη διάδοση είναι το Voyage du jeune Anacharsis en Grèce (1788), έργο του abbé Jean-Jacques Barthélémy, που κυκλοφορεί στα ελληνικά σε αποσπασματική μορφή από τα τέλη του 18ου αι. Στο τέλος μιας πεντηκονταετίας κατά την οποία τα μεταφραστικά ενδιαφέροντα καθορίζονται από την περιέργεια και την ανάγκη, της πληροφόρησης, η δημιουργική φαντασία αρχίζει να διεκδικεί ένα σημαντικό μερίδιο στη λογοτεχνική έκφραση.

Selenomethionine Mitigates Cognitive Decline by Targeting Both Tau Hyperphosphorylation and Autophagic Clearance in an Alzheimer's Disease Mouse Model

Published: January 2017

Tau pathology was recently identified as a key driver of disease progression and an attractive therapeutic target in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Selenomethionine (Se-Met), a major bioactive form of selenium (Se) in organisms with significant antioxidant capacity, reduced the levels of total tau and hyperphosphorylated tau and ameliorated cognitive deficits in younger triple transgenic AD (3xTg-AD) mice. Whether Se-Met has a similar effect on tau pathology and the specific mechanism of action in older 3xTg-AD mice remains unknown. Autophagy is a major self-degradative process to maintain cellular homeostasis and function. Autophagic dysfunction has been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple age-dependent diseases, including AD. Modulation of autophagy has been shown to retard the accumulation of misfolded and aggregated proteins and to delay the progression of AD. Here, we found that 3xTg-AD mice showed significant improvement in cognitive ability after a 3-month treatment with Se-Met beginning at 8 months of age. In addition to attenuating the hyperphosphorylation of tau by modulating the activity of Akt/glycogen synthase kinase-3β and protein phosphatase 2A, Se-Met-induced reduction of tau was also mediated by an autophagy-based pathway. Specifically, Se-Met improved the initiation of autophagy via the AMP-activated protein kinase–mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) signaling pathway and enhanced autophagic flux to promote the clearance of tau in 3xTg-AD mice and primary 3xTg neurons. Thus, our results demonstrate for the first time that Se-Met mitigates cognitive decline by targeting both the hyperphosphorylation of tau and the autophagic clearance of tau in AD mice. These data strongly support Se-Met as a potent nutraceutical for AD therapy.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTSelenium has been widely recognized as a vital trace element abundant in the brain with effects of antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammation. In this study, we report that selenomethionine rescues spatial learning and memory impairments in aged 3xTg-AD mice via decreasing the level of tau protein and tau hyperphosphorylation. We find that selenomethionine promotes the initiation of autophagy via the AMPK–mTOR pathway and enhances autophagic flux, thereby facilitating tau clearancein vivoandin vitro. We have now identified an additional, novel mechanism by which selenomethionine improves the cognitive function of AD mice. Specifically, our data suggest the effect of selenium/selenomethionine on an autophagic pathway in Alzheimer's disease.
Combinatorial actions of bacterial effectors revealed by exploiting genetic tools in yeast
Authors: Huett Alan
Published: January 2017

While yeast has been extensively used as a model system for analysing protein–protein and genetic interactions, in the context of bacterial pathogenesis, the use of yeast‐based tools has largely been limited to identifying interactions between pathogen effectors and host targets. In their recent work, Ensminger and colleagues (Urbanus et al, ) use the combinatorial power of yeast genetics to systematically screen all known Legionella pneumophila effector proteins for effector–effector interactions. They provide new insights into how bacterial effectors balance host cell perturbation and describe mechanisms used by “meta‐effectors” to directly modulate target effector activity.
Vitamin D deficiency and impaired placental function: potential regulation by glucocorticoids?
Authors: Yates Nathanael , Crew Rachael C , Wyrwoll Caitlin S
Published: January 2017

Maternal vitamin D deficiency has been implicated in a range of pregnancy complications including preeclampsia, preterm birth and intrauterine growth restriction. Some of these adverse outcomes arise from alterations in placental function. Indeed, vitamin D appears critical for implantation, inflammation, immune function and angiogenesis in the placenta. Despite these associations, absence of the placental vitamin D receptor in mice provokes little effect. Thus, interactions between maternal and fetal compartments are likely crucial for instigating adverse placental changes. Indeed, maternal vitamin D deficiency elicits changes in glucocorticoid-related parameters in pregnancy, which increase placental and fetal glucocorticoid exposure. Asin uteroglucocorticoid excess has a well-established role in eliciting placental dysfunction and fetal growth restriction, this review proposes that glucocorticoids are an important consideration when understanding the impact of vitamin D deficiency on placental function and fetal development.

Post-Islamism and the Remaking of Islamic Public Sphere in Post-reform Indonesia
Authors: Ansor Muhammad
Published: January 2017

The following essay examines post-Islamism in post-reform Indonesia by focusing on contestation in the remaking of the Islamic public sphere. I argue that the public sphere is not only an arena of contestation between Islamists and secularists, but also among the proponents of social movements that mobilize Islam as a source of legitimacy. In the first section, I present a brief review of the notion of post-Islamism and Islamic public sphere as categories of analysis to examine the dynamics of Islam in Indonesia. Next, I explain the topography of Islamic movements in contemporary Indonesia. Post-Islamist contestation in the remaking of the Indonesian Islamic public sphere is examined in the third section. It is limited to four topics, i.e. the dynamics of Muslim intellectual movements, post-Islamist women’s activism and piety movements, Islamic visibility in pop culture, and discourses of shari’a implementation in Aceh. Finally, the article concludes that the dynamics of Indonesian post-Islamists and their contestation are not only helping to strengthen the praxis of democracy in the post-reform era, but they are also diverting public attention from the temptation of radicalism and violence in the name of religion.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v23i3.2412
Social bias within the institution of hired domestic care: global interactions and migration
Authors: Uhde Zuzana
Published: January 2017

O artigo apresenta uma análise crítica da instituição da cuidado doméstico contratado no contexto do capitalismo global. A autora começa por esboçar o contexto da sociedade moderna tardia nas regiões europeias e anglo-americanas em que as desigualdades globais e o aumento intensivo do capitalismo reforçam um modelo de mercado de cuidados e, consequentemente, também a instituição de cuidados domésticos contratados que cada vez mais envolve migrantes. Do ponto de vista da teoria crítica, ela analisa as possíveis variações das relações entre trabalhador doméstico e empregador dentro da instituição de cuidado doméstico contratado. E ela conclui que a instituição de cuidados domésticos contratados envolve necessariamente preconceito social que reproduz as desigualdades sociais, bem como a tradicional divisão do trabalho de gênero e a servidão institucionalizada.

Authors: Da Costa Fábio Soares , Dos Santos Andreia Mendes
Published: January 2017

A adoção de livros paradidáticos para a educação infantil é uma prática identificada na maioria das escolas brasileira, pois é útil como uma estratégia de ação educativa, visando uma complementaridade das temáticas dos livros didáticos. Neste contexto, analisamos quatro livros paradidáticos: Os músicos de Bremen (Ruth Rocha); Uma trança dourada (Tatiana Belinky); A rainha rabiscada (Sylvia Orthof); e O pavão abre e fecha (Ana Maria Machado). Optamos, teórico-metodologicamente, pela a análise do discurso crítica, a partir Norman Fairclough (2001), Eliseo Verón (2004) e Laerte Magalhães (2003), e objetivamos identificar as representações e discursos de gênero construídas nessa literatura. Assim, observamos a existência de esteriotipais de dualização entre os sexos, um modelo patriarcal, romantismo e estetização corporal.

Spherical and cubic Pt nanoparticles and spherical, cubic and disk-shaped Co nanocrystals are produced by reduction of Pt2+-ion and decomposition of organometallic reagents in a hot solvent in presence of the surfactant molecules respectively. This displays the ability to control crystal growth and produce a range of nanoparticle shapes in the case of two different metallic elements.
First-Principles Studies of the Magnetic Properties of hcp Cr in Cr/Cu(111) and Cr/Ru(0001) Superlattices
Authors: Guo G. Y.
Published: January 2017

Latest first-principles density functional theoretical calculations using the generalized gradient approximation and highly accurate all-eleectron full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method, show that bulk hcp Cr would be a paramagnet and that no ferromagnetic state could be stabilized over a wide range of volume [1]. To understand the recent observation of the weakly ferromagnetic state of Cr in hcp Cr/Ru (0001) superlattices [2], the same theoretical calculations have been carried out for the hcp Cr3/Ru7 (0001) and hcp Cr3/fcc Cu6 (111) superlattices. The Cr/Ru superlattice is found to be ferromagnetic with a small magnetic moment of ∼0.31μB/Cr while in contrast, Cr/Cu superlattice is found to be nonmagnetic.
Pole Figure Analysis of Epitaxial Films of ZnO:2wt%Al Grown on Sapphire Substrates by RF Magnetron Sputtering
Authors: Kuppusami P. , Fiechter S. , Ellmer K.
Published: January 2017

Aluminium-doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Al) films have been grown on c-plane (001) and a-plane (110) sapphire by RF magnetron sputtering from a ceramic target. The films grew epitaxially, even at room temperature. However, the crystalline quality depends both on the substrate temperature as well as on the sapphire orientation. The best films, proved by X-ray diffraction (rocking curves and pole figure measurements) were grown on (110)-oriented sapphire in the temperature range 473 to 773 K. The minimum rocking curve half width was about 0.75 °. By Rutherford backscattering analysis it could be shown, that the films exhibit a significant variation of the defect density over the film thickness. The highest density, as expected, is observed at the interface sapphire/ZnO:Al. Films grown on (001)-oriented sapphire have higher rocking curve half widths (about 1.3 °) and exhibit sometimes two types of domains in the same film twisted by 30 °.
Anomalous Grain Growth in Sputtered CoCrMn Thin Films
Authors: Song Hajung , Kwon Soon-Ju , Shin Kyung-Ho
Published: January 2017

This paper presents anomalous grain growth in sputtered hcp CoCrMn thin films: The grain size is about 250 nm wide and a few micrometers long in the film of only 50 nm thickness. Both selected area diffraction (SAD) and x-ray texture analysis indicate that the perpendicular direction to the substrate is parallel to the zone axis of hcp<100> and hcp<110>. SAD also indicates that short axis of elongated grains is the c-axis of hcp structure, i.e. grains are elongated in the orthogonal direction to the c-axis. In addition, these elongated grains compose a grain bunch, in which grains are parallel to each other. Phi (φ) scan at grazing incidence x-ray diffraction (GID) geometry reveals that bunches are, as a whole, randomly oriented. However, neighboring bunches are misoriented about 10-20 degrees with each other, which is consistent with TEM observation. Such an anomalous grain growth of CoCrMn thin film is explained in views of mechanisms of nucleation and surface energy minimization.
Model Relating Thin Film Pzt Crystallographic Texture to Ferroelectric Switching Performance
Authors: FOX G.R. , Summerfelt S.
Published: January 2017

The fundamental physical property used for data storage in a ferroelectric non-volatile memory (FRAM) is the remanent polarization of a ferroelectric capacitor. In order to sense the data state of the capacitor, the charge pulse generated by either a switching or non-switching ferroelectric polarization is detected. Since the polarization of the ferroelectric is a vector property, the switchable polarization response of a ferroelectric capacitor is necessarily dependent on the texture of the ferroelectric material used to make the capacitor. A series of Ca, Sr, and La doped PbZr0.4Ti0.6O3 (PZT) capacitor test samples were produced with texture ranging from nearly complete {111} texture to random orientation. The volume fraction of the textured material was quantified by X-ray diffraction. An experimental correlation between texture and the switchable polarization was established using pulse switching measurements. A mathematical model was developed to explain the dependence of the switchable polarization on the crystallographic texture. It was found that the dependence of the saturated switchable polarization on texture required that there was no 90° domain reorientation. The impact of these findings will be related to the performance of FRAM.
