Published: September 2017

Abstract. Understanding processes controlling the atmospheric methane (CH4) mixing ratio is crucial to predict and mitigate future climate changes in this gas. Despite recent detailed studies of the last  ∼  1000 to 2000 years, the mechanisms that control atmospheric CH4 still remain unclear, partly because the late Holocene CH4 budget may be comprised of both natural and anthropogenic emissions. In contrast, the early Holocene was a period when human influence was substantially smaller, allowing us to elucidate more clearly the natural controls under interglacial conditions more clearly. Here we present new high-resolution CH4 records from Siple Dome, Antarctica, covering from 11.6 to 7.7 thousands of years before 1950 AD (ka). We observe four local CH4 minima on a roughly 1000-year spacing, which correspond to cool periods in Greenland. We hypothesize that the cooling in Greenland forced the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) to migrate southward, reducing rainfall in northern tropical wetlands. The inter-polar difference (IPD) of CH4 shows a gradual increase from the onset of the Holocene to  ∼  9.5 ka, which implies growth of boreal source strength following the climate warming in the northern extratropics during that period.

Published: September 2017

Abstract. The influence of social and economic change on the consequences of natural hazards has been a matter of much interest recently. However, there is a lack of comprehensive, high-resolution data on historical changes in land use, population or Historical Analysis of Natural Hazards in Europe, which contains two parts: (1) HANZE-Exposure with maps for 37 countries and territories from 1870 to 2020 in 100 m resolution and (2) HANZE-Events, a compilation of past disasters with information on dates, locations and losses, currently limited to floods only. The database was constructed using high-resolution maps of present land use and population, a large compilation of historical statistics, and relatively disaggregation techniques and rule-based land-use reallocation schemes. Data encompassed in HANZE allow to normalize information on losses due to natural hazards by taking into account inflation as well as changes in population, production and wealth. Database of past events currently contains 1564 records (1870–2016) of flash, river, coastal and compound floods. HANZE database is freely available at https://doi.org/10.4121/collection:HANZE.

Published: September 2017

Abstract. Climate change and constant population growth pose severe challenges to 21st century rural Africa. Within the framework of the West African Science Service Center on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use (WASCAL), an ensemble of high-resolution regional climate change scenarios for the greater West African region are provided to support the development of effective adaptation and mitigation measures. This contribution presents the overall concept of the WASCAL regional climate simulations as well as detailed information on the experiment design, and provides information on the format and dissemination of the available data. All data is made available to the public at the CERA long-term archive of the German Climate Computing Center (DKRZ) with a subset available at the PANGAEA Data Publisher for Earth & Environmental Science portal (https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.880512). Regional climate projections are generated at high (12 km) and intermediate (60 km) resolution using the Weather Research & Forecasting Model (WRF). The simulations cover the validation period 1980–2010 and the two future periods 2020–2050 and 2070–2100. A brief comparison to observations and two climate change scenarios from the CORDEX initiative is presented to provide guidance on the data set to future users and to assess their climate change signal. Under the RCP4.5 scenario, the results suggest an increase in temperature by 1.5 °C at the Coast of Guinea and by up to 3 °C in the northern Sahel by the end of the 21st century, in line with existing climate projections for the region. They also project an increase in precipitation by up to 300 mm per year along the Coast of Guinea, by up to 150 mm per year in the Soudano region adjacent in the North, and almost no change in precipitation in the Sahel. This stands in contrast to existing regional climate projections, which predict increasingly drier conditions. The high spatial and temporal resolution of the data, the extensive list of output variables, the large computational domain and the long time periods covered make this data set a unique resource for follow-up analyses and impact modelling studies over the greater West African region. The comprehensive documentation and standardisation of the data facilitate and encourage its use within and outside of the WASCAL community.
A modified tank model including snowmelt and infiltration time lags for deep-seated landslides in alpine environments (Aggenalm, Germany)
Authors: Nie Wen , Krautblatter Michael , Leith Kerry , Thuro Kurosch , Festl Judith
Published: September 2017

Abstract. Deep-seated landslides are an important and widespread natural hazard within alpine regions and can have significant impacts on infrastructure. Pore water pressure plays an important role in determining the stability of hydrologically triggered deep-seated landslides. Based on a simple tank model structure, we improve groundwater level prediction by introducing time lags associated with groundwater supply caused by snow accumulation, snowmelt and infiltration in deep-seated landslides. In this study, we demonstrate an equivalent infiltration calculation to improve the estimation of time lags using a modified tank model to calculate regional groundwater levels. Applied to the deep-seated Aggenalm landslide in the German Alps at 1000–1200 m a. s. l. , our results predict daily changes in pore water pressure ranging from −1 to 1.6 kPa, depending on daily rainfall and snowmelt, which are compared to piezometric measurements in boreholes. The inclusion of time lags improves the results of standard tank models by  ∼  36 % (linear correlation with measurement) after heavy rainfall and by  ∼ 82 % following snowmelt in a 1–2-day period. For the modified tank model, we introduced a representation of snow accumulation and snowmelt based on a temperature index and an equivalent infiltration method, i.e. the melted snow-water equivalent. The modified tank model compares well to borehole-derived water pressures. Changes of pore water pressure can be modelled with 0–8 % relative error in rainfall season (standard tank model: 2–16 % relative error) and with 0–7 % relative error in snowmelt season (standard tank model: 2–45 % relative error). Here we demonstrate a modified tank model for deep-seated landslides which includes snow accumulation, snowmelt and infiltration effects and can effectively predict changes in pore water pressure in alpine environments.
Structure and evolution of the drainage system of a Himalayan debris-covered glacier, and its relationship with patterns of mass loss

Published: September 2017

Abstract. We provide the first synoptic view of the drainage system of a Himalayan debris-covered glacier and its evolution through time, based on speleological exploration and satellite image analysis of Ngozumpa Glacier, Nepal. The drainage system has several linked components: (1) a seasonal subglacial drainage system below the upper ablation zone; (2) supraglacial channels, allowing efficient meltwater transport across parts of the upper ablation zone; (3) sub-marginal channels, allowing long-distance transport of meltwater; (4) perched ponds, which intermittently store meltwater prior to evacuation via the englacial drainage system; (5) englacial cut-and-closure conduits, which may undergo repeated cycles of abandonment and reactivation; and (6) a "base-level" lake system (Spillway Lake) dammed behind the terminal moraine. The distribution and relative importance of these elements has evolved through time, in response to sustained negative mass balance. The area occupied by perched ponds has expanded upglacier at the expense of supraglacial channels, and Spillway Lake has grown as more of the glacier surface ablates to base level. Subsurface processes play a governing role in creating, maintaining, and shutting down exposures of ice at the glacier surface, with a major impact on spatial patterns and rates of surface mass loss. Comparison of our results with observations on other glaciers indicate that englacial drainage systems play a key role in the response of debris-covered glaciers to sustained periods of negative mass balance.
Atmospheric influences on the anomalous 2016 Antarctic sea ice decay
Authors: Schlosser Elisabeth , Haumann F. Alexander , Raphael Marilyn N.
Published: September 2017

Abstract. In contrast to the Arctic, where total sea ice extent (SIE) has been decreasing for the last three decades, Antarctic SIE has shown a small, but significant increase during the same time period. However, in 2016, an unusually early onset of the melt season was observed; the maximum Antarctic SIE was already reached as early as August rather than end of September, and was followed by a rapid decrease. The decline of the sea ice area (SIA) started even earlier, namely in July. The decay was particularly strong in November where Antarctic SIE exhibited a negative anomaly (compared to the 1979–2015 average) of approximately 2 Mio. km2, which, combined with reduced Arctic SIE, led to a distinct minimum in global SIE. ECMWF- Interim reanalysis data were used to investigate possible atmospheric influences on the observed phenomena. The early onset of the melt and the rapid decrease in SIA and SIE were associated with atmospheric flow patterns related to a positive ZW3 index, i.e. synoptic situations leading to strong meridional flow. Particularly, in the first third of November northerly flow conditions in the Weddell Sea and the Western Pacific triggered accelerated sea ice decay, which was continued in the following weeks due to positive feed-back effects, leading to the extraordinary low November SIE. In 2016, the monthly mean SAM index reached its second lowest November value since the beginning of the satellite observations. SIE decrease was preconditioned by SIA decrease. A better spatial and temporal coverage of reliable ice thickness data is needed to assess the change in ice mass rather than ice area.
Investment Portfolios in an Emerging Economy: What Drives Portfolio’s Diversification?
Authors: Bono Milan Pedro Luiz Albertin , Eid Jr. William
Published: September 2017

This study sheds light on the investment portfolio’s decisions through behavioral insights. The study intends to identify personal characteristics that drive the level of diversification and lead investors to allocate resources in risky assets in an emergent economy, deepening the discussion about investment decisions and bringing some behavioral insights to the debate. The study has a unique and heterogeneous database of individual financial allocations from Brazil, one of the largest emergent economies. The characteristics of Brazilian investors play an important role in investment decisions, high educated and married investors tend to display diversified portfolios. To invest in risky assets, male investors have a 43% greater likelihood of investing in risky assets than females, highlighting the discussion on gender and investment decisions. Moreover, married investors tend to exhibit conservative portfolios. We observed that traditional investors are under-diversified, allocating primarily in traditional and safety assets. The results suggest that the investment decisions can be subject to psychological biases defined in behavioral finance theory.

In developing technology and differentiating markets, businesses have resorted the way of increasing their competitiveness by taking advantage of new marketing methods in order to stand out in the market. Within this context, companies have started to use different marketing strategies in order to be more effective in the market and to maintain their presence and awareness in different ways. Guerrilla marketing is an important marketing technique that small and medium-sized businesses are using with minimum marketing investments in extraordinary ways at unexpected times to attract attention of the target audience in today's increasingly competitive environment. This study focuses on guerrilla marketing which is an important marketing technique that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have applied, using unusual methods, in unexpected times, with minimum marketing investments to attract the attention of target audience in today's increasingly competitive environment. In order to determine the consumer perception about guerrilla marketing methods, a survey was applied to 384 people living in İzmir. Factor analysis was applied to the obtained survey data in SPSS 22 statistics program. Three results were obtained. 'Extraordinary' has been identified as the most important factor. The second important factor is 'Interesting and surprising', and the final factor is 'Communication'. Kolmogorov Smirnov test was conducted to determine which tests should be performed on the sub-dimensions of the scale of Consumer Perception on Guerrilla Marketing Methods (SCPGMM). It was determined that the distribution was not normal and Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney U tests were applied to the sub-dimensions of  SCPGMM. According to the test results, It has been determined that the "Extraordinary" (F1) sub-dimension of the SCPGMM sub-dimensions varies according to gender, age, education and marital status; the "interesting and surprising" (F2) sub-dimension varies according to the education and the "Communication" (F3) sub-dimension varies according to gender and marital status.
The Impact of Housing Loans on Economic Growth in Turkey: Times Series Analysis for 2010-2015 Period
Authors: Selvi Hanişoğlu Gülay , Azer Özlem Arzu
Published: September 2017

Turkish economy has a growing trend after the 2000-2001 economic crises, although ups and downs were experienced in some periods. Some of the important components of Turkish economy are the construction industry and the related housing industry. The construction industry in Turkey has a multiplier effect in the economy since it uses domestic inputs and creates jobs for the labor. Also, the construction sector actors operate overseas and enable inflow of foreign currency to Turkey, thus fostering economic growth. In the recent years, foreign funds and overseas firms have an increasing interest in Turkish construction industry. The Turkish housing industry as one of the leading components of construction industry has also experienced eye-catching developments in the recent years. Definitely, the Turkish housing industry is now much more competitive compared to former years. The global economic crisis of 2008 originated from the housing industry and had devastating effects all over the world. However, the 2008 global economic crisis had relatively lighter effects in Turkey. Parallel to the improvements in construction and housing industries, several financial alternatives exist today. Banks have diversified their credit products considering the needs of consumers. Moreover, the mortgage law going in effect and the mortgage practices becoming popular have contributed to the progress of housing industry. This study analyzed the effect of housing loans and their diversification on economic growth. The research concentrated on the 2010-2015 period, where the impact of 2008 global crisis has diminished.

Published: September 2017

In this study, the ethical dimensions of accounting professionals related to accounting errors and frauds were examined. Firstly, general and technical information about accounting were provided. Then, some terminology on error, fraud and ethics in accounting were discussed. Study also included recent statistics about accounting errors and fraud as well as presenting a literature review. As the methodology of research, a questionnaire was distributed to 36 accounting professionals residing in Edirne city of Turkey. The collected data were then entered to the SPSS package program for analysis. The study revealed very important results. Accounting professionals think that, accounting chambers do not organize enough seminars/conferences on errors and fraud. They also believe that supervision and disciplinary boards of professional accounting chambers fulfill their responsibilities partially. Attitude of professional accounting chambers in terms of errors, fraud and ethics is considered neither strict nor lenient. But, most accounting professionals are aware of colleagues who had disciplinary penalties. Most important and effective tool to prevent errors and fraud is indicated as external audit, but internal audit and internal control are valued as well. According to accounting professionals, most errors occur due to incorrect data received from clients and as a result of recording. Fraud is generally made in order to get credit from banks and for providing benefits to the organization by not showing the real situation of the firm. Finally, accounting professionals state that being honest, trustworthy and impartial is the basis of accounting profession and accountants must adhere to ethical rules.

Published: September 2017

A alergia alimentar é uma hipersensibilidade do organismo humano a determinadas proteínas que são reconhecidas erroneamente como antígenos, sendo o principal tratamento a eliminação do alimento alergênico, cujos principais responsáveis denominados Big Eight. O objetivo foi esclarecer as causas, mecanismos fisiológicos e consequências da alergia alimentar, além de estabelecer uma comparação das atitudes em termos de legislação no Brasil e de outros países do mundo, bem como elucidar sua epidemiologia e a fisiopatologia e evidenciar os alimentos envolvidos e principais tratamentos. Trata-se de um artigo de revisão cuja coleta se baseou em publicações nacionais e internacionais do Portal CAPES e Google Acadêmico, por meio da utilização das palavras-chave relacionadas, bem como livros e documentos oficiais. O Brasil, apesar de pioneiro na América do Sul, somente tornou obrigatória a declaração de alérgenos em 2016, diferentemente de outras regiões do mundo, cujas legislações já existem desde 2003. Observa-se que a maior expectativa das legislações visando os produtos industrializados é disponibilizar informações adequadas aos consumidores e melhorar a qualidade de vida dos alérgicos alimentares, sendo que é de obrigação comum a todos declarar os Big Eight.
Firm Performance and Corporate Disclosure Level of Listed Companies in Nigeria
Authors: Modugu Kennedy Prince
Published: September 2017

The study investigates the relationship between firm performance (proxied by profitability and liquidity) and corporate disclosure in Nigerian listed firms. The data used in the study were obtained from the annual reports of 60 companies listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange from the various sectors of the country’s economy. The study covers the post International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) adoption period of three years (2012 – 2014). Corporate disclosure (dependent variable) was disaggregated into mandatory, voluntary and total disclosure. The data were analysed using both descriptive statistics and the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression. Findings from the descriptive statistics reveal that, contrary to prior findings, there is a steady improvement in mandatory disclosure by Nigerian companies since the country’s adoption of IFRSs. However, voluntary disclosure still remains relatively low. The regression results show no significant relationship between profitability and the three components of corporate disclosure. But liquidity shows a significant positive relationship with mandatory and total disclosure.  The combined effect of profitability and liquidity shows no significant relationship with any of the components of corporate disclosure. The findings suggest that improved performance of companies does not necessarily induce them to disclosure more information as widely reported by previous researchers. These findings notwithstanding, the decision to disclose sufficiently and timely must be accorded priority attention by companies, considering the critical role of adequate and timely information disclosure in the global marketplace.

Split intransitivity in Japanese is syntactic: Evidence for the Unaccusative Hypothesis from sentence acceptability and truth value judgment experiments
Authors: Fukuda Shin
Published: September 2017

Split intransitivity (SI) is the generalization that intransitive verbs form two subclasses: the subjects of some intransitives behave like direct objects of transitive verbs, whereas the subjects of other intransitives behave like transitive subjects. The Unaccusative Hypothesis (UH) accounts for SI syntactically, arguing that the subjects of some intransitives (unaccusatives) are initially internal arguments, just like transitive objects, while the subjects of other intransitives (unergatives) are true subjects, just like transitive subjects. The UH has been enormously influential and inspired a rich and diverse literature on SI, including many recent experimental studies. Yet, no conclusive evidence for or against the UH has been put forward, largely because SI diagnostics (SIDs) – phenomena that motivate SI – are often amenable to both syntactic and non-syntactic analyses. In order to present unequivocal evidence for the UH, therefore, SIDs that make crucial reference to the UH must be carefully identified and studied. This study argues that two Japanese SIDs, quantifier scope and floating numeral quantifier licensing (FNQ-licensing), are such SIDs, as (i) they make crucial reference to the UH and the putative syntactic difference between unaccusative and unergative subjects, and (ii) they reliably classify Japanese intransitive verbs into two subclasses because of a syntactic difference. The evidence for this claim comes from the results of truth value judgment and sentence acceptability judgment experiments. The study argues that the results of these experiments show that Japanese intransitive verbs form two subclasses because of a syntactic difference, supporting the UH.
How (not) to derive a *ABA: The case of Blansitt’s generalisation
Authors: Caha Pavel
Published: September 2017

In this paper, I provide an account for the so-called Blansitt’s generalisation (Blansitt 1988). The generalisation says that in the linear sequence DATIVE—ALLATIVE—LOCATIVE, only adjacent functions may be marked the same. In previous work (Bobaljik 2012; Starke 2009; Caha 2009), analogous *ABA patterns have been encoded by the so-called feature cumulation. Feature cumulation means that the amount of features characteristic for individual categories monotonically grows in the order given in any such sequence. However, Blansitt observes that in the case of datives, allatives and locatives, the allative (which is in the middle) tends to be composed of the dative and the locative, so the account based on cumulation does not work. The present paper thus argues for a different representation of the underlying categories, namely as containing (abstractly) the features A, AB and B respectively (following in part Bobaljik & Sauerland 2017). I refer to this as the “overlapping” decomposition. When such a decomposition is combined with the Superset Principle (Starke 2009), it yields both the *ABA restriction and the observed syncretism and containment patterns. I further argue that this is a non-trivial result, since traditional underspecification approaches face significant challenges in deriving the *ABA pattern on the basis of the overlapping decomposition. This article is part of the Special Collection: *ABA

MODA NA AUTARQUIA: POLÍTICAS DE MODA NA ITÁLIA FASCISTA NOS ANOS 1930
Authors: Vaccari Alessandra
Published: September 2017

Na segunda metade dos anos 1930, o regime fascista introduziu a autarquia como forma de autonomia econômica da Itália frente às importações de matérias-primas. A autarquia foi lançada como instrumento para responder à crise gerada pelas sanções impostas ao país em 1935 pela Sociedade das Nações após a invasão italiana à Etiópia. O artigo analisa o papel que a moda teve no programa autárquico lançado pelo regime. Pela sua coação identitária e internacional, a moda permite examinar e colocar em confronto tanto a construção e promoção de uma nova imagem da nação, como as formas de desobediência explícita ou implícita às políticas autárquicas do regime fascista.

Authors: Balci Emine , Cayir Aybala
Published: September 2017

The purpose of the present research was to provide information to the community about the reading subskill profiles of children with dyslexia in primary and secondary school students. 175 children (aged 7-15 yrs) were examined on a varied set of phonological coding, spelling and fluent reading tasks. For this purpose, students’ fluent reading were determined using The Informal Reading Inventory. The student’s letter recognition and phonetics were measured by the alphabet test. The syllable test was used to measure the learner’s ability to read syllables. Results have shown that most of the dyslexic students have the spelling problem (35%) and fluent reading problem (51%). The proportion of students who can only learn letters (5%) and students who never learn to read (7%) is very small. Results revealed that dyslexic students do not have any significant problems in the phonological coding process but these students at each grade level have problems especially in spelling and fluent reading processes.

Published: September 2017

Background. A theoretical framework (perspective) for taken deliberations and analysis gives a humanistic theory of martial arts and martial arts anthropology.
Aim. The aim of the study was to analyze the usefulness of technical forms for teaching martial arts on example karate and taekwondo. The problem is: Are the forms (kata, poomsae) required to properly teach karate or taekwondo today?
Method. Consideration will be given by expressions of Grand Masters, recognized master teachers, experts of karate practice, and study all appropriate literature. It is a broad analysis of the discourse and authors own long-term participant observation over the last thirty years.
Results. Most experts agree that the technical forms are still the appropriate method of teaching karate and similar martial arts. On the other hand, kata/poomsae exercise only hamper full mastery of the martial arts. An analysis of five forms karate Idokan style was presented as well.
Conclusions. The ratio of trainees to fighting, technical forms and training varies. Similarly diverse are the opinions of experts on the forms - their meaning and current relevance. Most authorities, experts and authors recognize that training in these traditional technical forms is the important, permanent value, as a method of teaching and learning karate, taekwondo and other, similar martial arts.

Background and aim: Mental visualisation training makes use of human imagination in such a way as to program a person’s mind to perform a movement task in the best possible manner. The aim of this article is to evaluate the effects of mental visualisation training in sport with regard to karate shotokan fighters.
Material and methods: 20 karate shotokan fighters – members of the Lower Silesia team competing in kata events – were purposefully selected for the study. The age of those studied ranged between 18 and 39 years. They had training experience of 5 to 20 years and were ranked from the 1st to the 5th dan. The fighters performed an exercise consisting in visualising their participation in a kata event. The empirical research was performed using the diagnostic survey method and the research material was collected by means of a specially prepared survey questionnaire.
Results: Before commencing mental visualisation training the study participants evaluated all the areas of their mental preparation at a medium level (3). After one month one area received a very high score, four of them – high scores and two of them – medium scores. After two months one area received a very high score and the remaining ones – high scores. After three months six areas received very high scores and one area – a high score, but only marginally short of a very high score.
Conclusions: Over a period of two months a trend tow rds positive effects of mental visualisation training was noted. The full effects were achieved after three months of practice.

RIS3 strategies (Regional Innovation Strategy for Smart Specialisations) from six coastal regions around the Baltic Sea as well as smart specialisation processes in these regions have been reviewed and analysed in order to depict the regions’ potential to foster the blue growth development by means of the smart specialisation tool.
Analysis of regional context and innovation potential reveal differences between approaches and processes starting from the level on which RIS3 is defined, through a range of smart specialisation supporting the blue growth, ending in a level of stakeholders engagement. However, several common challenges have been identified, like the lack of large blue enterprises having their own research departments and being able to push innovation within their industries or the lack of skilled workers and specialists. A general observation is that the specific RIS3 processes are understaffed and with limited resources, giving the indication that the RIS3 are still partly more of paper products than really living processes. Another important observation is a gap in legitimacy among blue actors in analysed coastal regions. On the other hand, there are on-going processes related to the regional innovation strategies in general, to open innovation arenas and to cluster initiatives that are going on without being earmarked as RIS3 processes.

To address identified challenges and in order to foster blue growth development by means of the smart specialization strategies a set of key questions to be answer as well as recommendations are proposed. These questions should be answered not only by individual regional administration, it is recommended to deal with them in a continued process of enterprenual discovery with close interaction with all stakeholders concerned and affected by the RIS3 process.

Phosphine is considered the main fumigant material used for long time for controlling insect pests in stored grains. This research was focused on the determination of phosphine residues in cereal matrixes (mainly wheat and corn) after the fumigation process, using a new procedure developed to reduce the number of analytical steps and improve the chromatographic separation, identification, and quantitation of analyte, thus leading to enhanced total efficiency and sensitivity. This method, using gastight vials for extraction with 5% sulfuric acid, a heating extraction sequence, and injection with headspace and GC-MS in selected-ion monitoring mode, gave clean separation and accurate results. Repeatability was achieved for both wheat and corn after spiking samples at the 0.01 mg/kg level, with RSD values of 7.6 and 6.3%, respectively. The LOD and LOQ values were 0.46 and 1.38 µg/kg, respectively. The mean value of phosphine residue in wheat was 8.43 µg/kg, with an RSD of 8.17%, whereas it was 8.09 µg/kg in corn, with an RSD of 7.75%. All residues detected in all the replicates were below the estimated maximum residue limit for wheat and corn (0.1 mg/kg). The highest residue value for wheat was 9.85 µg/kg and the lowest was 7.70 µg/kg, whereas for corn, the highest value was 9.03 µg/kg and the lowest 7.30 µg/kg.
Choline Chloride–Oxalic Acid as a Deep Eutectic Solvent–Based Innovative Digestion Method for the Determination of Selenium and Arsenic in Fish Samples
Authors: Panhwar Abdul Haleem , Tuzen Mustafa , Kazi Tasneem Gul
Published: September 2017

An innovative and effective digestion method based on choline chloride (ChCl)–oxalic acid (Ox) deep eutectic solvent (DES) was proposed for the determination of Se and As in fish samples via electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS). The impacts of different variables, including the composition and volume of ChCl–Ox, temperature, and acid addition, on analyte recovery were studied for optimization. In this procedure, an 80 mg sample was dissolved in a 1:2 molar ratio of ChCl–Ox at 105°C for 40 min, with the subsequent addition of 4.0 mL HNO3 (1.0 M) and further heating at the same temperature for about 5 min. Next, centrifugation was applied, and the supernatant solution was filtered, diluted to a known volume, and measured by ETAAS. The accuracy of the developed method was tested using a Standard Reference Material (NIST SRM 1946 Lake Superior Fish Tissue). The proposed DES-based digestion method was successfully applied to the simultaneous extraction of Se and As from fish samples.

Spontaneous reoccurrence of “scooping”, a wild tool-use behaviour, in naïve chimpanzees
Authors: Bandini Elisa , Tennie Claudio
Published: September 2017

Modern human technological culture depends on social learning. A widespread assumption for chimpanzee tool-use cultures is that they, too, are dependent on social learning. However, we provide evidence to suggest that individual learning, rather than social learning, is the driver behind determining the form of these behaviours within and across individuals. Low-fidelity social learning instead merely facilitates the reinnovation of these behaviours, and thus helps homogenise the behaviour across chimpanzees, creating the population-wide patterns observed in the wild (what here we call “socially mediated serial reinnovations”). This is the main prediction of the Zone of Latent Solutions (ZLS) hypothesis. This study directly tested the ZLS hypothesis on algae scooping, a wild chimpanzee tool-use behaviour. We provided naïve chimpanzees (n = 14, Mage = 31.33, SD = 10.09) with ecologically relevant materials of the wild behaviour but, crucially, without revealing any information on the behavioural form required to accomplish this task. This study found that naïve chimpanzees expressed the same behavioural form as their wild counterparts, suggesting that, as the ZLS theory predicts, individual learning is the driver behind the frequency of this behavioural form. As more behaviours are being found to be within chimpanzee’s ZLS, this hypothesis now provides a parsimonious explanation for chimpanzee tool cultures.

Can the Ocean's Heat Engine Control Horizontal Circulation? Insights From the Caspian Sea
Authors: Bruneau Nicolas , Zika Jan , Toumi Ralf
Published: September 2017

We investigate the role of the ocean's heat engine in setting horizontal circulation using a numerical model of the Caspian Sea. The Caspian Sea can be seen as a virtual laboratory—a compromise between realistic global models that are hampered by long equilibration times and idealized basin geometry models, which are not constrained by observations. We find that increases in vertical mixing drive stronger thermally direct overturning and consequent conversion of available potential to kinetic energy. Numerical solutions with water mass structures closest to observations overturn 0.02–0.04 × 106 m3/s (sverdrup) representing the first estimate of Caspian Sea overturning. Our results also suggest that the overturning is thermally forced increasing in intensity with increasing vertical diffusivity. Finally, stronger thermally direct overturning is associated with a stronger horizontal circulation in the Caspian Sea. This suggests that the ocean's heat engine can strongly impact broader horizontal circulations in the ocean.

Dipolarizing flux bundles (DFBs) are small flux tubes (typical cross‐tail scale of 1–3 RE) in the nightside magnetosphere that have magnetic field more dipolar than the background. They are generated at or beyond 20 RE downtail and then travel earthward. Although DFBs usually stop before reaching the geosynchronous orbit (GEO), they may still transfer some portion of their energy into the inner magnetosphere by radiating ULF waves. We show the clearest evidence of this process, to date, using in situ data from a fleet of spacecraft and ground stations. We illustrate that a typical DFB stopped before reaching GEO but excited Pi2 waves that filled a volume of space extending from the plasma sheet to deep inside the plasmasphere. This event provides the first in situ, direct link between stopped DFBs and ULF waves deep inside the inner magnetosphere (as deep as L = 3). The waves were attenuated when traveling away from the DFB, but even at L = 3 (XGSM = −2.2), they were still traveling with a significant earthward Poynting flux. In addition, we observed evidence of interaction between these waves and electrons at GEO.
