Chimie des phases minérales et conditions d'équilibre des enclaves de lherzolite à spinelle de Montferrier (Hérault, France)
Authors: Cabanes Nelly , Mercier Jean-Claude
Published: April 2019

Les lherzolites à spinelle en enclaves dans les basaltes alcalins oligomiocènes de Montferrier (Hérault, France) ont subi une très intense déformation cisaillante dans les conditions mantelliques, qui s'est accompagnée d'une importante infiltration métasomatique génétiquement liée au magma ayant transporté ces enclaves jusqu'à la surface (Cabanes et Briqueu, 1987). L'étude détaillée de la chimie des phases minérales et des conditions d'équilibre de ces lherzolites a révélé l'extraordinaire homogénéité de composition des minéraux de ces Iherzolites (Mg#ol = 0,900 ± 0,0055, Mg#opx = 0,904 ± 0,0055, Mg#sp = 0,79 ± 0,025, Cr#sp = 0,09 ± 0,025). Toutes les lherzolites de Montferrier proviennent d'un seul et même niveau du manteau supérieur peu déprimé (Cr#sp très faible). Ces lherzolites semblent avoir subi très précocement un premier événement métasomatique qui se traduit par l'enrichissement des pyroxènes en Na et Ti, et par la cristallisation très clairsemée d'une amphibole riche en Ti et K.

Les études thermobarométriques permettent de discerner deux événements :

— 800-900 °C et 1,2-1,5 GPa, avant exsolution ;

— 700-800 °C et 0,9-1,2 GPa, au moment de l'éruption, pendant la déformation et la recristallisation finales.

Ce dernier épisode correspond également à une deuxième infiltration métasomatique, responsable de la cristallisation abondante d'une deuxième amphibole. L'effet thermique de cette infiltration de liquide chaud a perturbé l'équilibre Fe-Mg entre olivine et spinelle. La cristallisation de cette deuxième amphibole s'accompagne de l'appauvrissement des néoblastes de pyroxènes en Na et Ti au cours de la recristallisation.

Enfin, nous attribuons la déformation des lherzolites de Montferrier, et donc leur remontée (de 1,2-1,5 GPa à 0,9-1,2 GPa), au régime d'extension continentale actif dans le Languedoc à l'Oligo-Miocène : remontée et "rifting" lors de l'ouverture océanique de la Mer Méditerranée.
Halide Edip Adıvar’ın "Seviyye Talip" Adlı Eserinde Kadın ve Medeniyet İlişkisi
Authors: Öztürk Zeliha
Published: April 2019

Halide
Edip, döneminin medeniyeti ve onun problemleri üzerine düşünmüş ve çok sayıda
eser üretmiş bir yazardır. Osmanlı Devleti’nin yeni bir medeniyetin eşiğinde
hangi medeniyete dâhil olması ve nasıl bir medeniyet yaratması gerektiğine dair
soru ve sorunlar birçok aydın gibi Halide Edip’in de üzerinde sık sık durduğu
konulardandır. Halide Edip, yazar bir kadın olarak bu medeniyet mevzusunda
kadın kahramanlarına önemli görevler yüklemiş ve yeni medeniyeti onlar
üzerinden anlatmayı denemiştir. Halide Edip 1910 yılında yayımlanan romanı Seviyye Talip’te de bir medeniyet
krizinden yola çıkmıştır. Batıda aldığı eğitimin karşılığını yerli medeniyette
bulmaya çalışan Fahir’in bu arayışları hayatına dâhil olan kadınlar üzerinden
anlatılır. Bu arayışlar aynı zamanda eski bir medeniyetten çıkmak üzere olan
devletin yeni medeniyet arayışına paralellik gösteren bir çizgide ilerler.
Halide Edip kahramanı Fahir’in önderliğinde romanın üç kadın karakteri
üzerinden yeni ve eski medeniyetin imkânlarını sorgular. Yerli, Batılılaşmış ve
Batılı olan bu kadınlar, toplumsal gelgitlerin, bunalımların, sorunların hem
kaynağı hem de çözümü olarak görülür.

            Bu
bildiride medeniyet problemlerine çözüm arayan bir aydın olarak Halide Edip’in Seviyye Talip adlı romanı, kadın ve medeniyet arasındaki ilişki
üzerinden irdelenerek, dönemin medeniyet krizinin ve çözüm önerilerinin kadın
kahramanlar ile ilişkisine açıklık getirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır.
Fuzûlî’nin Şiirinde Önemli Bir Anahtar Kavram: Toprak
Authors: SAMANCI Metin
Published: April 2019

Fuzûlî, Farsça
Divan’ının mukaddimesinde şiirini Kerbelâ toprağı olarak vasıflandırır. Aşık
Çelebî de tezkiresinde Fuzûlî için ĥāk-sār-ı kūy-ı fenā ‘fena mahallesinde
toz toprak içinde kalmış; fena mahallesinin düşkünü’ ifadesini kullanır. (Kılıç
2010: 1119) Toprağın düşkünlüğü, perişanlığı, hakir olmayı ifade eden yönü
Fuzûlî’nin mahlasının olumsuz anlamlarını, manevi değeri ise olumlu anlamlarını
hatırlatır. Bu sebeple toprak Fuzûlî’nin şiir dünyasını iyi betimleyen bir
kelimedir. Mahlası hem olumlu hem de olumsuz bir anlam taşıyan Fuzûlî, maddi yönden
değersiz olan toprağa manevi anlamlar yükleyemiş; böylece onun şiirlerinde
toprak kendi mahlası gibi çift yönlü hale gelmiştir. Eserlerini incelediğimizde
toprakla ilgili orijinal imajlar oluşturduğu ve toprakla ilgili deyimleri,
ibareleri sıkça kullandığını gördük. Bu nedenle toprak Fuzûlî’nin şiirinde
önemli bir anahtar kelimedir diyebiliriz. Bu yazıda Fuzûlî’nin şiirinde toprak
ile ilgili imajları ve deyimleri ele alacağız. Ele aldığımız deyimler arasında šopraĥdan götür-, ĥāk çek-, ĥākden baş çek- gibi
başka şairlerde örneklerine rastlamadığımız kullanımlar da mevcuttur.

Çalışmamız iki bölümden oluşmaktadır. İlk bölümde toprakla ilgili
imajlar incelenmiştir. Bu incelemede Fuzûlî’nin Türkçe ve Farsça Divan, Leylâ
vü Mecnun, Hadikatü’s-Sü’edâ eserler taranıp toprakla ilgili imajlar
değerlendirmeye tutulmuştur. Çalışmanın ikinci bölümünde ise toprakla ilgili
deyimler ve ibareler beyitlerden örnek gösterilerek açıklanmıştır.

MULTISCALE ANALYSIS OF WAVE PROPAGATION IN COMPOSITE MATERIALS
Authors: Cattani C.
Published: April 2019

The multiscale solution of the Klein‐Gordon equations in the linear theory of (two‐phase) materials with microstructure is defined by using a family of wavelets based on the harmonic wavelets. The connection coefficients are explicitly computed and characterized by a set of differential equations. Thus the propagation is considered as a superposition of wavelets at different scale of approximation, depending both on the physical parameters and on the connection coefficients of each scale. The coarse level concerns with the basic harmonic trend while the small details, arising at more refined levels, describe small oscillations around the harmonic zero‐scale approximation.
PARABOLIC PROBLEMS WITH DYNAMICAL BOUNDARY CONDITIONS IN PERFORATED MEDIA
Authors: Timofte C.
Published: April 2019

The asymptotic behavior of the solution of a parabolic dynamical boundary‐value problem in a periodically perforated domain is analyzed. The perforations, which are identical and periodically distributed, are of size ϵ. In the perforated domain we consider a heat equation, with a Dirichlet condition on the exterior boundary and a dynamical boundary condition on the surface of the holes. The limit equation, as ϵ ? 0, is a heat equation with extra-terms coming from the influence of the non-homogeneous dynamical boundary condition.

A case study on trade in threatened Tiger Geckos (Goniurosaurus) in Vietnam including updated information on the abundance of the Endangered G. catbaensis
Authors: Ngo Hai Ngoc , Nguyen Truong Quang , Phan Tien Quang , van Schingen Mona , Ziegler Thomas
Published: April 2019

Tiger geckos of the genusGoniurosaurusare considered as a susceptible reptile group, due to their restricted distribution ranges, specialisation to specific microhabitats and generally low population densities. While still new species have been discovered recently,Goniurosaurusspecies are threatened by extinction through habitat loss and collection for the pet trade. Of the 19 described species, for only eight species, the conservation status has been assessed within the IUCN Red List between 2016 and 2018 and all have been classified in the threat categories VU (Vulnerable), EN (Endangered) and CR (Critically Endangered).Goniurosaurusspp. are popular in the international pet market at least since the 1990s and several species experienced local extirpations as a consequence of massive over-collection in the past. However, tiger geckos have not been paid much attention for conservation, amongst others, due to the lack of comprehensive knowledge on their conservation status and biology. This study provides an overview of international trade inGoniurosaurusbased on available data from 1999 to 2018 in the U.S. as well as data from online surveys and interviews in Europe and Vietnam, with the main focus on species native to Vietnam. All five tiger gecko species known from Vietnam were found in the local trade as wild captures for the national and international market and / or in the U.S. and Europe for relatively higher prices. We found that entire trade chains are very long (including several transfers and dealers involved) and that keeping and transport happen under poor conditions. We herein provide updated information on the abundance of the Endangered Cat Ba Tiger Gecko, which was recently shown to not only occur at its type locality, Cat Ba Island, Hai Phong City, North Vietnam, but also to inhabit small offshore islands in the Ha Long Bay, Quang Ninh Province. While the wild effective population was found to be relatively stable on four islands in Ha Long Bay, consisting of about 124 and 129 individuals in July 2017 and April 2018, respectively, the abundance of other sub-populations, impacted by anthropogenic pressures were found to be very low (2–10 individuals). Based on our findings, we propose stringent conservation measures to more efficiently protect wild tiger gecko populations, such as the inclusion in the Governmental Decree in Vietnam, the assessment of remaining species in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and the inclusion in the Appendices of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
Pentaneurella katterjokki Fittkau & Murray (Chironomidae, Tanypodinae): redescription and phylogenetic position
Authors: Silva Fabio Laurindo da , Stur Elisabeth
Published: April 2019

The monotypic genus Pentaneurella Fittkau & Murray was originally described based on larvae, pupal exuviae and pharate males. The latter prevented the observation of key features, such as wing dimensions, abdominal coloration pattern, and hypopygial apodemes (sternapodeme and phallapodeme), and the description of the adult male was considered incomplete by the authors. Herein, the adult female of Pentaneurellakatterjokki is described for the first time, and the adult male, pupa and larva are redescribed and figured based on specimens recently collected in Germany and Norway. We also discuss the phylogenetic position of Pentaneurella.
The Development and Evaluation of Personalized Training in Shared Decision-making Skills for Rheumatologists
Authors: Mahmood Sehrash , Hazes Johanna M.W. , Veldt Petra , van Riel Piet , Landewé Robert , Bernelot Moens Hein , Pasma Annelieke
Published: April 2019

Objective.

Many factors influence a patient’s preference in engaging in shared decision making (SDM). Several training programs have been developed for teaching SDM to physicians, but none of them focused on the patients’ preferences. We developed an SDM training program for rheumatologists with a specific focus on patients’ preferences and assessed its effects.

Methods.

A training program was developed, pilot tested, and given to 30 rheumatologists. Immediately after the training and 10 weeks later, rheumatologists were asked to complete a questionnaire to evaluate the training. Patients were asked before and after the training to complete a questionnaire on patient satisfaction.

Results.

Ten weeks after the training, 57% of the rheumatologists felt they were capable of estimating the need of patients to engage in SDM, 62% felt their communication skills had improved, and 33% reported they engaged more in SDM. Up to 268 patients were included. Overall, patient satisfaction was high, but there were no statistically significant differences in patient satisfaction before and after the training.

Conclusion.

The training was received well by the participating rheumatologists. Even in a population of rheumatologists that communicates well, 62% reported improvement. The training program increased awareness about the principles of SDM in patients and physicians, and improved physicians’ communicative skills, but did not lead to further improvement in patients’ satisfaction, which was already high.
Prediction of Ankylosing Spondylitis in the HUNT Study by a Genetic Risk Score Combining 110 Single-nucleotide Polymorphisms of Genome-wide Significance
Authors: Rostami Sina , Hoff Mari , Brown Matthew A. , Hveem Kristian , Holmen Oddgeir L. , Fritsche Lars G. , Videm Vibeke
Published: April 2019

Objective.

The genetic component of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) development is ∼90%. Of the known heritability, ∼20% is explained by HLA-B27, and 113 identified AS-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) account for ∼7.4%. The objectives were to construct a weighted genetic risk score (wGRS) using currently known genome-wide susceptibility SNP, and to evaluate its predictive ability for AS in the Norwegian population-based Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT).

Methods.

AS cases (n = 164) and controls (n = 49,032) were from the second (1995–1997) and third (2006–2008) waves of the HUNT study, to which the entire adult population of the northern region of Trøndelag was invited. A wGRS based on 110 SNP weighted by published OR for AS was constructed, representing each person’s carriage of all risk variants. Logistic regression models including the wGRS alone or in combination with HLA-B27 carrier state and other adjustment variables (sex, age, smoking, body mass index, and hypertension) were developed. Discrimination among models was compared using area under the curve (AUC).

Results.

The wGRS was associated with AS (OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.4–2.1), but showed low discrimination (AUC 0.62, 95% CI 0.58–0.67). HLA-B27 was significantly associated with AS (OR 50, 95% CI 32–81), showing high discrimination (AUC 0.88, 95% CI 0.85–0.90). Combining the wGRS and HLA-B27 improved prediction (AUC 0.90, 95% CI 0.87–0.92; p < 0.001 vs wGRS alone, p < 0.01 vs HLA-B27 alone). Further inclusion of adjustment variables gave a small improvement (AUC 0.91, 95% CI 0.89–0.94; p = 0.03).

Conclusion.

Prediction in a population-based setting based on all currently known AS susceptibility SNP was better than HLA-B27 carrier state alone, although the improvement was small and of uncertain clinical value.
Blueberries as an additive to increase the survival of Lactobacillus johnsonii N6.2 to lyophilisation
Authors: Cai D. , Harrison N.A. , Kling D.N. , Gonzalez C.F. , Lorca G.L.
Published: April 2019

Effective cultivation methods, total cost, and biomass preservation are key factors that have a significant impact on the commercialisation and effectiveness of probiotics, such as Lactobacillus. Sugar polymers, milk and whey proteins have been suggested as good additives for industrial preparations. Alternative compounds, such as phytophenols, are a more attractive option, given their potential benefits to human health. The overall goal of this study was to determine if the addition of blueberry phytophenols improves the survival of Lactobacillus johnsonii N6.2 during the freeze-drying process. The addition of blueberry aqueous extract (BAE) stimulated the growth of L. johnsonii under aerobic conditions and improved the stationary phase survival of the bacteria. Furthermore, the addition of BAE to the culture media improved the endurance of L. johnsonii N6.2 to freeze-drying stress, as well as to storage at 4 °C for up to 21 weeks. Moreover, blueberry extract performed more effectively as a lyophilising additive compared to skim milk and microencapsulation with whey protein/sodium alginate. In sum, this study demonstrates that BAE is an effective additive to increase the growth and survival of L. johnsonii N6.2 when added to the culture medium and/or used as a lyophilising preservative. Moreover, BAE or other polyphenols sources might likely enhance growth and increase survival of more probiotic lactic acid bacterial strains.

Published: April 2019

The aim of this randomised clinical trial was to evaluate the effect of Lactobacillus reuteri in chewable tablets as an adjunct to non-surgical periodontal treatment of chronic periodontitis in smoking patients. 34 patient smokers were selected and randomly divided into two groups. The SRP group (n=17) received scaling and root planing (SRP) in one session and a placebo; the PRO group (n=17) received SRP in one session and 2 probiotic tablets 2× per day, for 21 days. Bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), gingival recession (GR), and pockets with PD≥5 mm and bleeding were measured at baseline and 90 days. After 90 days of treatment, the PD and pockets with PD≥5 mm and bleeding were significantly lower in both groups compared to baseline (P<0.05). In the PRO group, the BOP had significantly reduced at 90 days when compared with the baseline (P<0.05). There was statistically significant reduction in PD between baseline and 90 days in the PRO group in deep pockets (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in the reduction in PD (P=0.95) or gain in CAL (P=0.97) in moderate and deep pockets. The adjuvant use of L. reuteri in the treatment of chronic periodontitis was effective in controlling gingival inflammation because reduced bleeding on probing which means reduced gingival inflammation and was effective in reducing deep pocket in manner clinically relevant.
Sport science relevance and integration in horseracing: perceptions of UK racehorse trainers
Authors: Richardson H. , Collins R. , Williams J.M.
Published: April 2019

Whilst equestrian sport science research has expanded over recent years, and technologies to positively impact training and performance have been developed, long-standing traditions and experiential learning in the racing industry still appear to impede the integration of sport science knowledge. This study used semi-structured interviews to investigate the perceptions of eleven national hunt and flat-based racehorse trainers to determine the current status of sport science integration within the racing industry, the perceived barriers to its uptake, and areas where trainers sought further knowledge. Three key higher order themes emerged from the interviews: the current training and monitoring principles for health and fitness of racehorses, trainers’ attitudes toward sport science research, and areas for potential future research and integration of sports science in training. Subjective methods grounded in personal experience were found to form the basis of racehorse training principles, with the application of sport science minimal, namely due to poor integration strategies. Negative connotations arising from a general lack of understanding of the application of knowledge and a scepticism toward adapting already successful principles, as well as pressure from industry stakeholders, appear to create barriers to sport science uptake. Trainers felt a stronger evidence base emphasising performance benefits is needed to overcome these. Where trainers identified areas of research potential, many studies had already been undertaken, highlighting the necessity for effective dissemination strategies to demonstrate how research could apply to industry practice. Increased educational initiatives to showcase technology and improve trainer understanding and application of currently available sport science knowledge is also warranted.
Nursing Care and Treatment of Ambulatory Patients With Percutaneously Placed Axillary Intra-aortic Balloon Pump Before Heart Transplant
Authors: Macapagal Frederick R. , McClellan Emma , Macapagal Rosario O. , Green Lisa , Bonuel Nena
Published: April 2019

Transplant cardiologists in our hospital have performed the percutaneously placed axillary-subclavian intra-aortic balloon pump procedure since 2007. This procedure allows patients to mobilize and walk while they wait for a heart transplant, rather than remaining on bed rest as they would with a traditional femoral intra-aortic balloon pump. This procedure has presented challenges to the nursing staff. A 2007 literature search revealed no precedent or published nursing articles on this subject. This article reviews heart failure, medical treatments, complications of bed rest associated with the femoral intra-aortic balloon pump, the nursing challenges and unique problems of caring for patients with percutaneously placed axillary-subclavian intra-aortic balloon pumps, and our solutions for those challenges.
Is corporate governance and intellectual capital disclosure related? a Sri Lankan case
Authors: Puwanenthiren Pratheepkanth
Published: April 2019

This study investigates the association between corporate governance and intellectual capital (IC) disclosure, controlling for firm age and leverage, for a sample of 150 Sri Lankan listed firms. The independent variables comprise various forms of corporate governance attributes: board size, board independent, board meetings and CEO role duality. IC disclosure is measured by a disclosure index. Empirical analysis is conducted using correlation and linear multiple regression analysis. Findings from the empirical analysis indicate that associations between the corporate governance and IC disclosure are generally mixed. There is still no established and generally accepted Sri Lankan framework for IC disclosure, which could be a reason for inconsistency. Results of this study provide useful information for the accounting profession, the regulators and corporations on the effective exercise of corporate governance.
Use of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Athletic Training: Common Measures, Selection Considerations, and Practical Barriers
Authors: Lam Kenneth C. , Harrington Katie M. , Cameron Kenneth L. , Valier Alison R. Snyder
Published: April 2019

Context

Current evidence suggests that a low percentage of athletic trainers (ATs) routinely use patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). An understanding of the perceptions of ATs who use (AT-USE) and who do not use (AT-NON) PROMs as well as any differences due to demographic characteristics (eg, use for patient care or research, job setting, highest education level) may help facilitate the use of PROMs in athletic training.

Objective

To describe commonly used PROMs by AT-USE, the criteria by which AT-USE select PROMs, and reasons for non-use by AT-NON.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

Online survey.

Patients or Other Participants

A convenience sample of 1784 ATs (response rate = 10.7% [1784/17972]; completion rate = 92.2% [1784/1935]) who worked in a variety of settings.

Main Outcome Measure(s)

Participants completed an anonymous electronic online survey. Descriptive statistics were used to describe commonly used PROMs, PROM selection criteria, and reasons for PROM non-use.

Results

Participants were classified as AT-USE (n = 370, 20.7%) or AT-NON (n = 1414, 79.3%). For the AT-USE group, the most common type of PROMs used were specific (eg, region, joint; n = 328, 88.6%), followed by single-item (n = 258, 69.7%) and generic (n = 232, 62.7%). Overall, the PROMs most frequently endorsed by the AT-USE group were the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (n = 128, 34.6%); Lower Extremity Functional Scale (n = 108, 29.2%); Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (n = 96, 25.9%); Owestry Disability Index (n = 80, 21.6%); and Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (n = 78, 21.1%). The most important criteria reported by AT-USE for selecting PROMs were that the measure was valid and reliable, easy for patients to understand, and easy for clinicians to understand and interpret. Common reasons for non-use were that PROMs were too time consuming for the clinician, too time consuming for the patient, and more effort than they were worth.

Conclusions

The Numeric Pain Rating Scale; Lower Extremity Functional Scale; Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand; Owestry Disability Index; and Foot and Ankle Ability Measure were the PROMs most commonly endorsed by AT-USE and should be considered for athletic training use. To further facilitate the use of PROMs in athletic training, future authors should identify strategies to address organizational and time-constraint obstacles. Interpretation of our study findings may require caution due to a relatively low response rate and because “routine use” was not operationalized.
A uniqueness criterion for measure-valued solutions of scalar hyperbolic conservation laws
Authors: Bertsch Michiel , Smarrazzo Flavia , Terracina Andrea , Tesei Alberto
Published: April 2019

We prove existence and uniqueness of Radon measure-valued solutions of the Cauchy problem for a first order scalar hyperbolic conservation law in one space dimension, the initial data being a finite superposition of Dirac masses and the flux being Lipschitz continuous, bounded and sufficiently smooth. The novelty of the paper is the introduction of a compatibility condition which, combined with standard entropy conditions, guarantees uniqueness.

On Sobolev regularity of solutions to Fokker–Planck–Kolmogorov equations with drifts in $L^1$
Authors: Bogachev Vladimir I. , Popova Svetlana N. , Shaposhnikov Stanislav V.
Published: April 2019

We prove two new results connected with elliptic Fokker–Planck–Kolmogorov equations with drifts integrable with respect to solutions. The first result answers negatively a long-standing question and shows that a density of a probability measure satisfying the Fokker–Planck–Kolmogorov equation with a drift integrable with respect to this density can fail to belong to the Sobolev class

W^{1,1} (\mathbb R^d)

. There is also a version of this result for densities with respect to Gaussian measures. The second new result gives some positive information about properties of such solutions: the solution density is proved to belong to certain fractional Sobolev classes.
Mass-critical inverse Strichartz theorems for 1d Schrödinger operators
Authors: Jao Casey , Killip Rowan , Vișan Monica
Published: April 2019

We prove inverse Strichartz theorems at

L^2

regularity for a family of Schrödinger evolutions in one space dimension. Prior results rely on spacetime Fourier analysis and are limited to the translation-invariant equation

i\partial_t u = -\frac{1}{2} \Delta u

. Motivated by applications to the mass-critical Schrödinger equation with external potentials (such as the harmonic oscillator), we use a physical space approach.
Multifractal phenomena and packing dimension
Authors: Bayart Frédéric , Heurteaux Yanick
Published: April 2019

We undertake a general study of multifractal phenomena for functions or measures. We show that the existence of several kinds of multifractal functions or measures can be easily deduced from an abstract statement, leading to new results. This general approach does not work for Fourier or Dirichlet series. Using careful constructions, we extend our results to these cases.
Existence results on $k$-normal elements over finite fields
Authors: Reis Lucas
Published: April 2019

An element

\alpha \in \mathbb{F}_{q^n}

is normal over

\mathbb{F}_q

if

\alpha

and its conjugates

\alpha, \alpha^q, \dots, \alpha^{q^{n-1}}

form a basis of

\mathbb{F}_{q^n}

over

\mathbb{F}_q

. In 2013, Huczynska, Mullen, Panario and Thomson introduced the concept of

k

-normal elements, generalizing the normal elements. In the past few years, many questions concerning the existence and number of

k

-normal elements with specified properties have been proposed. In this paper, we discuss some of these questions and, in particular, we provide many general results on the existence of

k

-normal elements with additional properties like being primitive or having large multiplicative order. We also discuss the existence and construction of

k

-normal elements in finite fields, providing a connection between

k

-normal elements and the factorization of

x^n-1

over

Квазирациональность и асферические (про-$p$-) копредставления
Authors: Mikhovich Andrey
Published: April 2019

В работе показано, что свойство квазирациональности (про-$p$-)
копредставления (про-$p$-) группы $G$ является свойством
самой (про-$p$-) группы и не зависит от выбора копредставления.
Доказано, что класс квазирациональных копредставлений шире
класса асферических про-$p$-копредставлений
(комбинаторно-асферических копредставлений в дискретном случае).
Для квазирациональных копредставлений введено понятие
обобщенной пермутационности модуля соотношений, которое оказывается
равносильным пермутационности его $\operatorname{mod}(p)$ фактора.

Квантовое теоретико-полевое описание процессов, происходящих на конечных пространственных и временных интервалах
Authors: Volobuev Igor' Pavlovich , Egorov Vadim Olegovich
Published: April 2019

Рассматривается новый подход к описанию в рамках квантовой теории поля процессов, происходящих на конечных пространственно-временны́х интервалах. Формализм основан на диаграммной технике Фейнмана в координатном представлении, дополненной модифицированными правилами перехода к импульсному представлению, которые отражают конкретную экспериментальную ситуацию. Эффективно это приводит к тому, что модифицируются только пропагаторы частиц в импульсном представлении, а стандартные правила Фейнмана в импульсном представлении удается сохранить неизменными. В подходе не используются волновые пакеты: начальные и конечные состояния частиц описываются плоскими волнами, что существенно упрощает вычисления. На примере трех процессов - нейтринных осцилляций, распада нестабильной частицы и осцилляций нейтральных каонов - показано, что рассматриваемый подход правильно воспроизводит известные результаты.
Двумерная полевая редукция общей теории относительности
Authors: Losyakov Vladimir Vladimirovich , Tyutin Igor Viktorovich
Published: April 2019

В рамках общей теории относительности рассмотрено пространство-время, метрика которого зависит лишь от одной координаты и от времени. Выбран калибровочный класс, в котором в явном виде решены все условия связи теории гравитации как калибровочной теории и построен гамильтониан, зависящий только от динамических физических переменных (гравитонов). Показано, что такой гамильтониан можно получить из действия Полякова для струны в фоновом пространстве анти-де Ситтера со "струнной константой", зависящей от времени.

Municipal finance for housing: local government approaches to financing housing in cities
Authors: Feather Christopher
Published: April 2019

Housing policy is usually seen as the domain of national governments, and in many countries local authorities have relinquished direct engagement in the promotion of adequate housing. High costs associated with related policies and programmes are often cited as justification for minimal involvement, leading to fewer community-level interventions on affordable formal housing. This article presents financial approaches for local government leaders and decision-makers to consider in furthering affordable access to adequate housing for their citizens. The article argues that when local governments engage on housing with innovation and financial pragmatism, the housing needs of the urban poor and vulnerable can be better served.

Quasi 10-day wave modulation of equatorial ionization anomaly during the Southern Hemisphere stratospheric warming of 2002
Authors: Mo Xiaohua
Published: April 2019

Abstract. The present paper studies the perturbations in equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) region during the Southern Hemisphere (SH) sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) of 2002, using the location of EIA crests derived from Global Positioning System (GPS) station observations and the Total Electron Content (TEC) obtained by International GNSS Service (IGS) global ionospheric TEC map (GIMs) in Asian sector. A strong quasi 10-day periodic oscillation is clearly identified in EIA region, and it has in-phase relationship between northern and southern EIA crests. An eastward phase progression of quasi 10-day wave is also seen in polar stratospheric temperature during this period, suggesting the enhanced quasi-10-day planetary wave associated with SSW produced oscillation in EIA region through modulating the equatorial fountain effect. Our results reveal some newer features of ionospheric variation that have not been reported during Northern Hemisphere (SH) SSWs.
El mapa municipal en España: estructura, evolución y problemáticas
Authors: Albet i Mas Abel
Published: April 2019

El mapa municipal español presenta graves disfunciones (pervivencia de pequeños municipios en población y en superficie; enclaves y límites problemáticos; atribuciones sobredimensionadas) producto de una tradición que se resiste a cambiar. Tras hacer un análisis de la evolución y de la estructura actual de la legislación sobre la planta municipal y sobre la política de alteraciones, el texto denuncia las grandes dificultades y reticencias para llevar a cabo una revisión del mapa municipal. A la administración local se le impone el reto de diferenciar el territorio “político” (ámbito de identidad y participación ciudadana, pero convertido en feudo de influencia para los partidos políticos), del territorio de “gestión”, más idóneo para hacer operativa la administración pública local, asegurando el bienestar y calidad de vida para la población. El primer paso de la reforma debería ser una revisión de las atribuciones, competencias y financiación de los municipios, determinando las que pueden ser atribuidas a otras administraciones.
Evidence of Faculty Salary Differences Across Business Disciplines and Employment Contracting Systems
Authors: Schrouder Sandra , Allen Marcus T. , Rhodd Rupert G. , Jones Travis L.
Published: April 2019

Using sample data from two accredited business school in the Florida State University System, one non-tenure granting and one tenure granting, and regression analysis, this paper explores variation in faculty salary levels across business disciplines. The results indicate (1) that accounting and finance professors earn more than management professors, thus receiving a salary premium in the market, (2) that marketing and information systems/operations management faculty earn no significantly different salaries than management professors, and (3) that economics professors earn less than management professors and thus receive a discount in the market. The results also indicate that rank, administrative duties, years in the profession, and research productivity are significant determinants of the salaries of business professors, but that salaries in this sample are unrelated to gender and race. The findings also provide evidence of salary inversion, with assistant professors receiving larger salaries than associate professors. The unique results of this study are that salary discounts and premiums by discipline are similar at both non-tenure granting and tenure granting universities.
Massless QFT and the Newton-Wigner Operator
Authors: Much A.
Published: April 2019

In this work, the second-quantized version of the spatial-coordinate operator, known as the Newton-Wigner-Pryce operator, is explicitly given w.r.t. the massless scalar field. Moreover, transformations of the conformal group are calculated on eigenfunctions of this operator in order to investigate the covariance group w.r.t. probability amplitudes of localizing particles.

Revisión de la edad de la Planicie de Ophir y sus estructuras
Authors: Vargas Luis , Martínez Heydi
Published: April 2019

La acumulación de cráteres en superficies de cuerpos planetarios incrementa a través del tiempo, mientras el tamaño de los diámetros disminuye. Modelos cronológicos lunares han sido creados utilizando muestras datadas con radiometría y conteo de cráteres. Dichos modelos se han ajustado para otros cuerpos terrestres como ser Marte. Se realizó el conteo de cráteres para la planicie de OPHIR localizada en la provincia de Tharsis, Marte haciendo uso de nuevas herramientas o programas como CraterTools y CraterStats. Los resultados fueron analizados utilizando los modelos estadísticos cronológicos y se determinó que la edad de la planicie de OPHIR es ∼ 3.70 Ga con una baja incertidumbre absoluta.

Published: April 2019

A agenesia unilateral de corno uterino é alteração incomum em cadelas e, embora algumas vezes relatada, as informações ainda são superficiais. É relatado o caso de uma fêmea canina primípara, sem raça definida, encaminhada para ovário-histerectomia eletiva. Durante a realização do procedimento verificou-se a ausência do corno uterino esquerdo. Por meio de avaliação anatomohistopatológica confirmou-se agenesia de corno uterino unilateral. O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar observações acerca dos aspectos reprodutivos de uma cadela portadora desta afecção, postuladas por autores, assim como a conduta cirúrgica e a avaliação histopatológica do caso em questão.
