STRATEGY OF THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN MODEL
Authors: Meifilina Andiwi , Anjarwati Sulistyo
Published: May 2019

The problems faced when approaching the election are many, one of which is the problem related to how to lobby politics to the public to use their voting rights so that they do not abstain. This problem that is often encountered can be solved by implementing the right political campaign model strategy. The strategy in political campaigns is a careful plan for activities to achieve specific goals where the activities carried out are carried out by political organizations or competing candidates to compete for positions in parliament in order to get the support of the mass of voters (voters) in voting. In line with Law No. 10 of 2008 concerning elections for members of the DPR, DPD and DPRD loaded with 30 percent quota for women in article 53, coupled with article 8 paragraph 1 mentioned regarding statements of at least 30 percent quota of women's representation in central party political party management as one of the requirements political parties to be able to become participants in the election. The purpose of this study was to find out in depth about the strategy of the political campaign model of female candidates in Blitar Regency as a method used by legislative candidates to attract their voters. This way of lobbying politics to the community has the aim of introducing candidates to the public through political campaigns that bring up the positive image of legislative candidates by involving the community. One way in which legislative candidates take to attract attention and get votes from various communities is starting from giving promises when campaigning. The subject of this research is that all the people and female candidates in Blitar Regency and the object of their research are the political campaign model strategies in Blitar Regency. The type of research used is qualitative research using the phenomenology approach. The phenomenology approach aims to describe the meaning of life experiences experienced by some individuals about certain concepts or phenomena by exploring the structure of human consciousness. So here the researcher wants to know the meaning of the experience experienced by the community and female candidates related to the political campaign model strategy through this phenomenology study. This research method uses a qualitative approach with interviews, observation, and documentation studies. This research produced a strategy model for political campaigns related to the phenomenon of female candidates in Blitar District.

Deriving the strength and direction of the three-dimensional (3D) magnetic field in the solar atmosphere is fundamental for understanding its dynamics. Volume information on the magnetic field mostly relies on coupling 3D reconstruction methods with photospheric and/or chromospheric surface vector magnetic fields. Infrared coronal polarimetry could provide additional information to better constrain magnetic field reconstructions. However, combining such data with reconstruction methods is challenging, e.g., because of the optical thinness of the solar corona and the lack and limitations of stereoscopic polarimetry. To address these issues, we introduce the data-optimized coronal field model (DOCFM) framework, a model-data fitting approach that combines a parameterized 3D generative model, e.g., a magnetic field extrapolation or a magnetohydrodynamic model, with forward modeling of coronal data. We test it with a parameterized flux-rope insertion method and infrared coronal polarimetry where synthetic observations are created from a known “ground-truth” physical state. We show that this framework allows us to accurately retrieve the ground-truth 3D magnetic field of a set of force-free field solutions from the flux-rope insertion method. In observational studies, the DOCFM will provide a means to force the solutions derived with different reconstruction methods to satisfy additional common coronal constraints. The DOCFM framework therefore opens new perspectives for the exploitation of coronal polarimetry in magnetic field reconstructions and for developing new techniques to more reliably infer the 3D magnetic fields that trigger solar flares and coronal mass ejections.
Half-mass Radii for ∼7000 Galaxies at 1.0 ≤ z ≤ 2.5: Most of the Evolution in the Mass–Size Relation Is Due to Color Gradients
Authors: Suess Katherine A. , Kriek Mariska , Price Sedona H. , Barro Guillermo
Published: May 2019

Radial mass-to-light ratio gradients cause the half-mass and half-light radii of galaxies to differ, potentially biasing studies that use half-light radii. Here we present the largest catalog to date of galaxy half-mass radii at z > 1: 7006 galaxies in the CANDELS fields at 1.0 ≤ z ≤ 2.5. The sample includes both star-forming and quiescent galaxies with stellar masses

. We test three methods for calculating half-mass radii from multiband PSF-matched Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging: two based on spatially resolved spectral energy distribution modeling, and one that uses a rest-frame color profile. All three methods agree, with scatter ≲0.3 dex. In agreement with previous studies, most galaxies in our sample have negative color gradients (the centers are redder than the outskirts, and

). We find that color gradient strength has significant trends with increasing stellar mass, half-light radius, U − V color, and stellar mass surface density. These trends have not been seen before at z > 1. Furthermore, color gradients of star-forming and quiescent galaxies show a similar redshift evolution: they are flat at z ≳ 2, then steeply decrease as redshift decreases. This affects the galaxy mass–size relation. The normalizations of the star-forming and quiescent

relations are 10%–40% smaller than the corresponding

relations; the slopes are ∼0.1–0.3 dex shallower. Finally, the half-mass radii of star-forming and quiescent galaxies at M
* = 1010.5
M
⊙ only grow by ∼1% and ∼8% between z ∼ 2.25 and z ∼ 1.25. This is significantly less than the ∼37% and ∼47% size increases found when using the half-light radius.
Self-gravitational Force Calculation of High-order Accuracy for Infinitesimally Thin Gaseous Disks
Authors: Wang Hsiang-Hsu , Shiue Ming-Cheng , Wu Rui-Zhu , Yen Chien-Chang
Published: May 2019

Self-gravitational force calculation for infinitesimally thin disks is important for studies on the evolution of galactic and protoplanetary disks. Although high-order methods have been developed for hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic equations, high-order improvement is desirable for solving self-gravitational forces for thin disks. In this work, we present a new numerical algorithm that is of linear complexity and of high-order accuracy. This approach is fast since the force calculation is associated with a convolution form, and the fast calculation can be achieved using Fast Fourier Transform. The nice properties, such as the finite supports and smoothness, of basis spline functions are exploited to stably interpolate a surface density and to achieve a high-order accuracy in forces. Moreover, if the mass distribution of interest is exclusively confined within a calculation domain, the method does not require artificial boundary values to be specified before the force calculation. To validate the proposed algorithm, a series of numerical tests, ranging from first- to third-order implementations, are performed, and the results are compared with analytic expressions derived for third- and fourth-order generalized Maclaurin disks. We conclude that the improvement on the numerical accuracy is significant with the order of the method, with only little increase of the complexity of the method.
A Light-curve Analysis of 32 Recent Galactic Novae: Distances and White Dwarf Masses
Authors: Hachisu Izumi , Kato Mariko
Published: May 2019

We obtained the absolute magnitudes, distances, and white dwarf (WD) masses of 32 recent galactic novae based on the time-stretching method for nova light curves. A large part of the light/color curves of two classical novae often overlap each other if we properly squeeze/stretch their timescales. Then, a target nova brightness is related to the other template nova brightness by

, where t is the time, M

V
[t] is the absolute V magnitude, and f
s is their timescaling ratio. Moreover, when these two time-stretched light curves, (t/f
s)–(M

V
− 2.5 log f
s), overlap each other, (t/f
s)–(B − V)0 do too, where (B − V)0 is the intrinsic B − V color. Thus, the two nova tracks overlap each other in the (B − V)0–(M

V
− 2.5 log f
s) diagram. Inversely, using these properties, we obtain/confirm the distance and reddening by comparing each nova light/color curves with well-calibrated template novae. We classify the 32 novae into two types, LV Vul and V1500 Cyg, in the time-stretched (B − V)0–(M

V
− 2.5 log f
s) color–magnitude diagram. The WD mass is obtained by direct comparison of the model V light curves with the observation. Thus, we obtain a uniform set of 32 galactic classical novae that provides the distances and WD masses from a single method. Many novae broadly follow the universal decline law and the present method can be applied to them, while some novae largely deviate from the universal decline law and so the method cannot be directly applied to them. We discuss such examples.

Published: May 2019

A new species of the genusGracixalus,Gracixalusyunnanensissp. n., is described based on a series of specimens collected from southwestern and southern Yunnan, China. This species is distinguished from all other known congeners by a combination of the following characters: relatively small body size in adult males (SVL 26.0–34.2 mm); dorsal surface yellow brown or red brown; distinctive conical asperities on dorsum; males with an external subgular vocal sac and linea masculina; throat, chest, and belly nearly immaculate; venter surface orangish with yellow spots, semi-transparent; snout rounded; supratympanic fold distinct; iris bronze; lack of white patch on temporal region; tibiotarsal projection absent; sides of body nearly smooth with no black blotch; finger webbing rudimentary; and toe webbing formula I1.5–2II1.5–2.7III.5–3IV2.5–1.5V. Genetically, the new species diverges from its congeners by 2.2%–14.1% (uncorrected p-distance) and is closest toG.guangdongensis. However, the new species can morphologically be separated fromG.guangdongensisby distinctive conical tubercles on dorsum (versus absent), lateral surface nearly smooth with no black blotches on ventrolateral region (versus lateral surface rough, scattered with tubercles and black blotches on ventrolateral region), snout rounded (versus triangularly pointed), iris bronze (versus iris brown), and ventral surface orangish (versus throat and chest creamy white and belly light brown).

Published: May 2019

Uniorectangularis Tapparone-Canefri, 1889 is a little-known nominal species of freshwater mussels described from a tributary of the Ayeyarwady River in Myanmar. This taxon was considered a synonym of Gibbosulalaosensis (Lea, 1863), a margaritiferid species. However, the range of Gibbosulalaosensis does not encompass the Ayeyarwady River watershed. Here we re-examine the holotype of Uniorectangularis and provide a conchological re-description of this species. Based on conchological features such as the shell shape, elevated umbo, and the structure of lateral and pseudocardinal teeth, we transfer this taxon to the genus Indonaia Prashad, 1918 and propose I.rectangularis (Tapparone-Canefri, 1889), comb. nov. It appears to be a rare freshwater mussel species with a restricted range, because it has not been found since the original description. Two additional species in this genus are known from Myanmar, i.e. Indonaiaandersoniana (Nevill, 1877) and I.subclathrata (Martens, 1899).
Screening Patients Who Speak Spanish for Low Health Literacy
Authors: Hadden Kristie B. , Prince Latrina Y. , Rojo Martha O. , Selig James P. , McElfish Pearl A.
Published: May 2019

Background:

Inadequate health literacy is a national health problem that affects about 90 million people from all racial and ethnic groups in the United States. Conceptual and empirical models of health literacy position language as one of the most significant contributors to health literacy.

Objective:

A validated Spanish health literacy screening question asks how confident patients are at filling out medical forms, but it does not clarify whether the forms are in English or in Spanish, contributing to ambiguity and potentially affecting validity. The purpose of this study was to compare responses to questions that clarified the language of the forms referenced in the validated screening question; to explore how the clarified items predicted scores on a measure of health literacy; and to compare the predictive ability of the clarified health literacy items to that of a question about patients' self-reported English proficiency.

Methods:

Participants who speak Spanish (
N
= 200) completed the following surveys: Spanish Health Literacy Screening Question that clarified “English forms” (HLSQ-E) and that clarified “Spanish forms” (HLSQ-S), self-reported English proficiency (SEP), demographic questions, the Short Test of Functional Health Literacy for Adults Spanish (S-TOFHLA-S), and the Newest Vital Sign-Spanish (NVS-Spanish).

Key Results:

Participants reported less confidence with English medical forms than Spanish forms. The sensitivity of screening approaches varied; each predicted inadequate health literacy on the NVS-Spanish and S-TOFHLA-S with different levels of sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. In general, the HLSQ-E was a better predictor of inadequate health literacy than the HLSQ-S; however, the SEP performed nearly as well as the HLSQ-E.

Conclusion:

“How confident are you at filling out medical forms in English…” more appropriately identified patients with inadequate health literacy who speak Spanish. Health literacy screening practices should consider the patient's language and the language of the health care system and use questions that are less ambiguous.

Plain Language Summary:

This project focused on patients who speak Spanish and who have a hard time understanding health information. We wanted to find out the best ways to identify these patients so that doctors and nurses can be sure to give them information in ways that they can understand. We tested screening questions that can identify these patients.

Contemporary Transfusion Science and Challenges
Authors: Passerini Heather M.
Published: May 2019

Health care professionals must understand the impact of blood product transfusions and transfusion therapy procedures to ensure high-quality patient care, positive outcomes, and wise use of resources in blood management programs. Understanding transfusions of blood and blood products is also important because of the number of treatments performed, which affects individual patients and health care system resources. This article reviews research findings to acquaint health care professionals with the most successful protocols for blood, blood product, and coagulation factor transfusions. Damage control resuscitation in bleeding trauma patients, protocols for patients without trauma who are undergoing surgical procedures that place them at risk for excessive bleeding, and protocols for patients with sepsis are addressed. Emerging research continues to help guide mass transfusion treatments (restrictive vs liberal, balanced, and goal-directed treatment). Although available study results provide some guidance, questions remain. Additional research by health care professionals is needed.
Anticoagulant Medications for the Prevention and Treatment of Thromboembolism
Authors: Brien Lori
Published: May 2019

Venous thromboembolism is a preventable medical condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality. It can lead to deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and stroke. Thrombi develop when intravascular conditions promote activation of the coagulation system or when there is an imbalance between endogenous anticoagulants and procoagulants. Such conditions include vascular injury, inflammation, venous stasis, and hypercoagulable states. Anticoagulant medications are indicated for the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism. They exert their effect on clotting factors to prevent the formation of thrombi or the propagation of an existing clot. Historically, anticoagulants were limited to heparins and vitamin K antagonists. Over the past 15 years, however, several new anticoagulant medications have been introduced. This article describes commonly prescribed and newer anticoagulants available to health care professionals, including their mechanism of action, therapeutic use, unique characteristics, and available reversal agents in the event of life-threatening bleeding.
Proposal for a time-based standard sampling method for the monitoring of Gomphus flavipes (Charpentier, 1825) and Ophiogomphus cecilia (Fourcroy, 1785) (Odonata: Gomphidae)
Authors: Hardersen Sönke , Toni Ilaria
Published: May 2019

Monitoring of conservation status is an obligation arising from Article 11 of the Habitats Directive for all species of community interest. However, the development of monitoring methods for invertebrate species has received relatively little attention. Gomphus flavipes (Charpentier, 1825) and Ophiogomphus cecilia (Fourcroy, 1785) are two dragonfly species, listed in the annexes of the Habitats Directive, which suffered severe declines in the last century and have since recovered. Methods for the monitoring of these two gomphids have been proposed, but these have not been extensively tested and no abundance classes have been proposed for the evaluation of the conservation status of these species. A time-based standard sampling method is proposed for both species and results from numerous sites in Lombardy, northern Italy, are presented. Applying the standard method revealed that it is common for rivers that high water levels preclude sampling of exuviae through the summer and it is better to allow for two seasons when planning the monitoring. A further result is the fact that it was not always possible to sample the same stretches as the dynamic nature of the rivers and fluctuations in water level lead to some river banks becoming unsuitable for sampling during some visits. In these cases the time-based approach was advantageous, as the method did not need to be modified in response to the original bank section becoming unsuitable.
A critical review of the odonate fauna of Trentino: annotated check-list and new relevant data for Italy (Insecta: Odonata)
Authors: Assandri Giacomo
Published: May 2019

By the first half of the Twentieth Century, the Odonate fauna of Trentino (Oriental Alps, Italy) was quite well known; subsequently, few surveys on dragonflies were carried out, resulting in a limited update of the knowledge on this taxon. The aim of this study is to provide a critical and annotated check-list of the Odonata of this province for the period from 1851 to 2018. This synthesis is based on a total of 3814 records obtained from the literature (955 records), revision of collections (1048 records), and unpublished recent data (1811 records). An updated and comprehensive Odonatological bibliography of the region is also provided. Overall, sixty-one species were confirmed to occur (or have occurred) in Trentino. These represent the 64% of the species recorded in Italy and the 43% of the species recorded in Europe. Presence of five additional species (Ceriagrion tenellum, Coenagrion lunulatum, C. ornatum, Ophiogomphus cecilia, and Epitheca bimaculata) should be considered doubtful for Trentino. Further two species (Platycnemis latipes and Onychogomphus uncatus) have to be excluded from the fauna of the study area. Fifty-four species were recorded also after 2000, whereas seven species were not confirmed after this year (Lestes dryas, L. virens, L. barbarus, Sympecma paedisca, Coenagrion scitulum, Brachytron pratense, and Sympetrum flaveolum). Several new records resulting from this study (referred to: Erythromma najas, Aeshna subarctica, Aeshna caerulea, Aeshna grandis, Leucorrhinia pectoralis) have a conservation or biogeographical relevance which transcends the borders of the study area, being noteworthy from an Italian or Alpine perspective and are thus commented in detail. Taxonomic notes on subspecies are also given when relevant.

O Ensino de matemática no contexto da educação inclusiva
Authors: Silva Luciana Leandro , Strohschoen Andreia Aparecida Guimarães
Published: May 2019

O presente artigo traz reflexão sobre a o ensino de Matemática no contexto da Educação Inclusiva. Os estudos que tratam sobre a atenção a pessoas com necessidades especiais têm avançado nos últimos anos, trazendo uma compreensão melhor das formas de inclusão na escola. No que concerne ao ensino de matemática há trabalhos incipientes. Objetivando discutir como tem ocorrido o ensino de matemática considerando a inclusão, implementou-se o presente estudo. Realizou-se uma pesquisa de campo, de cunho qualitativo, com a participação de 11 professores que atuam na rede básica de ensino do município de Boa Vista/RR. Os participantes desta pesquisa responderam a um questionário com intuito de identificar a formação pedagógica dos professores que atuam em turmas que possuem alunos com paralisia cerebral, especificamente em escolas de Educação Básica do município de Boa Vista/RR. Com base nas respostas obtidas, observou-se que os cursos de nível superior dos entrevistados, buscaram estar em conformidade com a recomendação da Portaria nº 1.793, 16 de dezembro de 1994, da inclusão de uma disciplina e conteúdos relacionados à Educação Especial, contudo não é suficiente para que se sintam preparado para desenvolver o fazer docente com os alunos com deficiência, sendo a  formação continuada de suma importância para que os professores atuem com mais eficácia no ensino da Matemática no contexto da educação inclusiva.

Agnes Blake Poor e os poemas Pan-American
Authors: Morinaka Eliza Mitiyo
Published: May 2019

The considerations and arguments of this article were developed based on the information printed in Diário de Notícias, a newspaper from Salvador, Bahia, in Brazil, which states that Agnes Blake Poor was the first North-American woman to translate Brazilian literature into English. Poor edited the anthology Pan-American Poems (1918) that brought a collection of Latin-American poems in English translation. Brazil is represented by Gonçalves Dias, Bruno Seabra, the Portuguese Francisco Manuel de Nascimento, and a gypsy folk-song. Using the theoretical and methodological tools from Descriptive Translation Studies, the objective of this article is to analyse the political and literary dimensions in which the anthology was published in the United States and compare the source and target poems to pinpoint the translational norms. The results show that the governmental translation project was aimed to foster Pan-Americanism and to unite the Americas during war time, which was key to determine the choice of the poems and the translation norms.
Houaiss... Pinheiro. Galindo: and what the future holds for Ulysses translations in Brazil
Authors: Galindo Caetano , Amaral Vitor Alevato
Published: May 2019

This paper aims to analyze the history behind the three Brazilian translations of James Joyce’s Ulysses, trying to consider how each translation helped to set up the conditions for the production of another, and may even define the need for this future retranslation, which by its turn will react to that first work, filling a cultural blank space previously created only by the existence and the specific characteristics of the work that came before. In this way, we attempt to provide some clarification for the apparent abundance of Portuguese language translations of Joyce’s seminal novel.
“Direct me, I beseech you, to Carcosa”: Literature, retranslation, and interference
Authors: Gonçalves Davi S.
Published: May 2019

This research delineates an interface between literature, plagiarism, and retranslation – having Jorge Luis Borges’ (1979) idea of creative infidelity as main theoretical framework – based on my own principles and experience as a literary translator. More specifically, I use the software WCopyFind for comparing my retranslation of “An Inhabitant of Carcosa” (Bierce, 1886) into Brazilian Portuguese (2015) with both the original and João Reis’ previous translation into European Portuguese (2010) – bearing in mind that, before publishing my translation, I have also gone through the latter. Reflecting upon retranslation, translation, and literature, I get to the conclusion that no personal choice is devoid of external influences – especially in what regards the former. Variation is nonetheless inevitable, for texts are not formed only by words, but also by what surrounds them. The discursive strength of translation, therefore, resides in the troposphere of meaning, above what is written on the surface of a text.
Quem é Shar em Nw e suas traduções para o português? Um estudo da representação da personagem baseado em valores atitudinais
Authors: Blauth Taís Paulilo , Magalhães Célia Maria
Published: May 2019

This paper draws on the Martinian interpretation of Systemic Functional Grammar (MARTIN 1992, MARTIN; ROSE 2007) to approach translation as interlingual reinstantiation (SOUZA, 2010), from an interpersonal stance. The goal of this investigation is to examine the representation of a character of the novel in the original text and its translations to cast light on the implications of semantic variation for reader positioning. The analysis is based on the Appraisal system (MARTIN; WHITE 2005) and the text chosen for this investigation is an excerpt of a chapter of British contemporary novel NW by Zadie Smith (2012), along with its Brazilian and Portuguese translations. The analysis shows greater and lesser variations, most of loading or polarity, in attitudes associated with the character.
Tradução de poesia e performance: “Still I Rise”, de Maya Angelou
Authors: Paganine Carolina
Published: May 2019

This paper presents an evaluation of five translations into Brazilian Portuguese of the poem “Still I Rise” by African-American author Maya Angelou (1928-2014). Also, I present and discuss my own translation of the same poem, in which I aimed at creating a text to be performed, i.e. that would work orally in Portuguese. The reasons behind this choice are: 1) this is one of Angelou’s most famous poems and one which she performed on many occasions; 2) Angelou’s poetry stands out for following the African-American tradition of oral literature and so the poem acquires a new aesthetical dimension when it is performed. My criticism on the translations as well as my translation are in debt to Paulo Henriques Britto’s work towards a more objective evaluation of poetic translations (2002).
COMPARISON AND TIME SERIES ANALYSIS OF LANDSLIDE DISPLACEMENT MAPPED BY AIRBORNE, TERRESTRIAL AND UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE BASED PLATFORMS
Authors: Pfeiffer J. , Zieher T. , Rutzinger M. , Bremer M. , Wichmann V.
Published: May 2019

Abstract. Slow moving deep-seated gravitational slope deformations are threatening infrastructure and economic wellbeing in mountainous areas. Accelerating landslides may end up in a catastrophic slope failure in terms of rapid rock avalanches. Continuous landslide monitoring enables the identification of critical acceleration thresholds, which are required in natural hazard management. Among many existing monitoring methods, laser scanning is a cost effective method providing 3D data for deriving three dimensional and areawide displacement vectors at certain morphological structures travelling on top of the landslide. Comparing displacements between selected observation periods allows the spatial interpretation of landslide acceleration or deceleration. This contribution presents five laser scanning datasets of the active Reissenschuh landslide (Tyrol, Austria) acquired by airborne laser scanning (ALS), terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and Unmanned aerial vehicle Laser Scanning (ULS) sensors. Three observation periods with acquisition dates between 2008 and 2018 are used to derive area-wide displacement vectors. To ensure a most suitable displacement derivation between ALS, TLS and ULS platforms, an analysis investigating point cloud features within varying search radii is carried out, in order to identify a neighbourhood where common surfaces are represented platform independent or differences between the platforms are minimized. Consequent displacement vector estimation is done by ICP-Matching using morphological structures within the high resolution TLS and ULS point cloud. Displacements from the lower resolution ALS point cloud and TLS point cloud were determined using a modified version of the well-known image correlation (IMCORR) method working with point cloud derived shaded relief images combined with digital terrain models (DTM). The interplatform compatible analyses of the multi-temporal laser scanning data allows to quantify the area-wide displacement patterns of the landslide. Furthermore, changes of these displacement patterns over time are assessed area-wide. Spatially varying areas of landslide acceleration and deceleration in the order of ±15 cm a−1 between 2008 and 2017 and an area wide acceleration of up to 20 cm a−1 between 2016 and 2018 are identified. Continuing the existing time series with future ULS acquisitions may enable a more complete and detailed displacement monitoring using entirely represented objects within the point clouds.
ON RAW INERTIAL MEASUREMENTS IN DYNAMIC NETWORKS
Authors: Cucci D. A. , Skaloud J.
Published: May 2019

Abstract. Dynamic Networks have been introduced in the literature to solve multi-sensor fusion problems for navigation and mapping. They have been shown to outperform conventional methods in challenging scenarios, such as corridor mapping or self-calibration. In this work we investigate the problem of how raw inertial readings can be fused with GNSS position observations in Dynamic Networks (DN) with the goal of i) limiting the number of unknowns in the estimation problem and ii) improving the conditioning of the normal equations arising in least-squares adjustments in the absence of spatial constraints (e.g., image observations). For that we propose a modified version of the well known IMU-preintegration method, accounting for a non-constant gravity model, the Earth rotation and the apparent Coriolis force, and we compare it with the conventional DN formulation in a emulated scenario. This consists of a fixed-wing UAV flying four times over a 2 km long corridor.
HYBRID ORIENTATION OF AIRBORNE LIDAR POINT CLOUDS AND AERIAL IMAGES
Authors: Glira P. , Pfeifer N. , Mandlburger G.
Published: May 2019

Abstract. Airborne LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) and airborne photogrammetry are both proven and widely used techniques for the 3D topographic mapping of extended areas. Although both techniques are based on different reconstruction principles (polar measurement vs. ray triangulation), they ultimately serve the same purpose, the 3D reconstruction of the Earth’s surface, natural objects or infrastructure. It is therefore obvious for many applications to integrate the data from both techniques to generate more accurate and complete results. Many works have been published on this topic of data fusion. However, no rigorous integrated solution exists for the first two steps that need to be carried out after data acquisition, namely (a) the lidar strip adjustment and (b) the aerial triangulation. A consequence of solving these two optimization problems independently can be large discrepancies (of up to several decimeters) between the lidar block and the image block. This is especially the case in challenging situations, e.g. corridor mapping with one strip only or in case few or no ground control data. To avoid this problem and thereby profit from many other advantages, a first rigorous integration of these two tasks, the hybrid orientation of lidar point clouds and aerial images, is presented in this work.
‘There’s Gonna Be Bad Apples’: Police–Community Relations through the Lens of Media Exposure Among University Students
Authors: Levan Kristine , Stevenson Kelsey
Published: May 2019

Recently, increased media attention has been given to tensions between law enforcement officers and the communities they police. An individuals’ opinions of law enforcement agencies may be formed from various areas, including their exposure to various forms of media. Here, we are interested in the types of media students are exposed to (particularly social media, television news, crime-related television shows). Through interviews with undergraduate students, we seek to understand how both an individual’s demographic characteristics and their media consumption contribute to how perceptions are formed on issues related to violence perpetrated by law enforcement, as well as against law enforcement. Future studies can build on the initial findings and be conducted on a broader range of community members.

A Tale of Two Degrees
Authors: Vander Kooy S. A.
Published: May 2019

Popularized by Elfreda A. Chatman, the theory of a small world, which refers to community of like-minded individuals who share coownership of social reality, tends to be viewed in a negative light despite its possible benefits. This article examines the potential for the development of small worlds within the context of professional degrees. This potential is explored primarily through the author’s personal experiences obtaining two professional degrees: a Bachelor of Education at Tyndale University College & Seminary and a Master of Library and Information Science at the University of Western Ontario. Each of the four core concepts of Chatman’s small world theory – worldview, social norms, social types, and information behaviour – is investigated in detail through the lens of the author’s experiences. The possible advantages and disadvantages for students should a small world develop are then discussed.
Highlighting the Need for Collaboration Between Archaeologists and Information Professionals

Published: May 2019

The discipline of archaeology intersects with information science as it deals directly with the information of human history and prehistory through material culture. This paper examines the link between the disciplines of information science and archaeology within the context of the archaeological curation crisis, which has been exacerbated by the lack of attention to the curation of archaeological collections. While the issue and solutions have been identified in the scholarly literature, few sources discuss collaboration between archaeologists and information professionals as a potential solution. This paper on conceptualizes archaeological artifacts as archival records and analyzes the issue through boundary object theory and the records continuum model. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the complementary nature of the two disciplines and subsequently highlight the importance of collaboration between archaeologists and information professionals, as both discipline have the potential to identify areas of need and establish best practices to resolve this curation crisis.
Anthrax Laboratory Diagnostic Methods at the Laboratory of the Ministry of Agriculture (LMA)
Authors: Beradze Irma
Published: May 2019

ObjectiveLaboratory of the Ministry of Agriculture (LMA) conducts Anthrax diagnostics using Bacteriology and Molecular Biology Methods: Isolated cultures through the classical bacteriology methods are always confirmed by Molecular Biology assay (PCR).In the study the samples were screened for the presence of B. anthracis via two concurrent approaches to compare classical methods and a novel PCR method. Before the TAP-7 project, PCR was only used to confirm the identity of cultures isolated by the Bacteriology. New SOPs and algorythm was created for better laboratory diagnostic.IntroductionBacillus anthracis, the etiologic agent of anthrax, is a member of a highly diverse group of endospore-forming bacteria. Bacillus anthracis spores are typically found in soil, from which they may spread via contaminated dust, water, and materials of plant and animal origin. Although anthrax is primarily a disease of herbivores, humans may contract anthrax directly or indirectly from animals.Laboratory of the Ministry of Agriculture (LMA) conducts Anthrax diagnostics using Bacteriology and Molecular Biology Methods: Isolated cultures through the classical bacteriology methods are always confirmed by Molecular Biology assay (PCR).In 2014, within Tap7 project ,Identification and Mapping of Anthrax foci in Georgia’’ Anthrax suspected soil samples were tested using two lab diagnostic methods and they were compared to each other.MethodsAnthrax suspected samples were tested by two methods - classical method and new method.Classical method included isolation of bacterium from soil samples using standard bacteriology tests and then PCR confirmed its identity. New method was initial PCR testing of soil samples.302 soil samples were tested by classical method.At the same time, approximately 10% (32 samples) of the already mentioned 302 soil samples were also tested by initial PCR.Results24 cultures isolated through bacteriology tests (Gram staining; lysis by gamma phage; motility testing; detection of polyDglutamic acid capsule by direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) were confirmed by PCR.Out of the above mentioned 32-suspected samples, 11 were confirmed positive using the classical methods, versus 9 confirmed positive using the direct PCR approach. Two bacteriologically positive samples appeared negative by the direct PCR method, i.e. only two samples did not match.ConclusionsThe samples were screened for the presence of B. anthracis via two concurrent approaches to compare classical methods and a novel PCR method. Before the TAP-7 project, PCR was only used to confirm the identity of cultures isolated by the Bacteriology.The purpose of the investigation of the new method was to identify if a less labor-intensive process with fewer points of operator manipulation was as efficacious as the classical method of bacteriology followed by PCR analysis of suspected samples.Despise the limited sampling and the little difference in the efficacy of the two methods, classical method stays prior to new one.
Biosurveillance study of Schmallenberg disease in Azerbaijan in 2012-2017
Authors: Zeynalova Shalala
Published: May 2019

ObjectiveSchmallenberg virus (SBV) is an orthobunyavirus that primarily infects domestic and wild ruminants and causes symptoms such as transient fever, diarrhea, reduced milk production, congenital malformations and abortion. The first virus was identified in 2011 at the onset of a major outbreak in Europe (Germany, Hungary, and France).IntroductionIn 2012 - 2017 in Azerbaijan there was an unexpected increase of abortions in cattle and sheep that was unrelated to brucellosis or chlamydia infection. The first confirmed case of Schmallenberg disease was received from Beylagan district of Azerbaijan in October 2012. The import of cattle from Europe to Azerbaijan has commenced in 2012. Therefore, the surveillance study was launched to determine spread of infection among cattle and sheep and to monitor the situation in the country.MethodsState Veterinary Control Service notified 42 Regional Veterinary Offices of Azerbaijan to commence the monitoring of Schmallenberg disease. Blood samples were collected from sheep, and cattle and biopsies of heads or necks from aborted fetuses were sampled too.. The collected samples were tested in the Republican Veterinary Laboratory. ELISA was used to investigate the presence of specific antibodies against Schmallenberg virus in the blood samples using IDEXX Schmallenberg Ab Test Kit. The commercially available real-time PCR kits (VetMAX™ Schmallenberg Virus Kit) were applied to test the biopsy samples. Both tests were recommended by the World Organization for Animal Health.ResultsTotal, 40,257 blood samples were collected from suspicious cattle and sheep. 671 biopsies samples were taken from fetuses. 4,281 cattle and 999 sheep with antibodies against SBVwere detected. The PCR results showed that the 77 biopsies samples were positive for SBV. The highest numbers of seropositive animals were found in Ganja, Aghdash, Barda, and Baku.ConclusionsThis biosurveillance study determined SBV in the samples of cattle and sheep in Azerbaijan, therefore, it is important to carry out annual seromonitoring and start the vaccination program. It is essential to check the passport of imported cattle, which has the disease history and seroprevalence of SBV.ReferencesLaloy, E., Breard, E., Sailleau, C., Viarouge, C., Desprat, A., Zientara, S., Klein, F., Hars, J., Rossi, S., 2014.

Published: May 2019

ObjectiveTo describe the use of syndromic surveillance data for real-time situational awareness of emergency department utilization during a localized mass overdose event related to the substance K2.IntroductionOn August 15, 2018, the Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) became aware of a cluster of suspected overdoses in an urban park related to the synthetic cannabinoid K2. Abuse of K2 has been associated with serious adverse effects and overdose clusters have been reported in multiple states. This investigation aimed to characterize the use of syndromic surveillance data to monitor a cluster of suspected overdoses in real time.MethodsThe EpiCenter syndromic surveillance system collects data on all emergency department (ED) visits at Connecticut hospitals. ED visits associated with the event were identified using ad hoc keyword analyses. The number of visits by facility location for the state, county, and city were communicated to state and local partners in real time. Gender, age, and repeated ED visits were assessed. After the event, surveillance findings were summarized for partnersResultsDuring the period of August 15–16, 2018 the number of ED visits with a mention of K2 in the chief complaint increased from three to 30 in the impacted county, compared to a peak of 5 visits during the period of March–July, 2018. An additional 25 ED visits were identified using other related keywords (e.g., weed). After the event, 72 ED visits were identified with K2 and location keywords in the chief complaint or triage notes. These 72 visits comprised 53 unique patients, with 12 patients returning to the ED 2–5 times over the two day period. Of 53 patients, 77% were male and the median age was 40 years (interquartile range 35–51 years). Surveillance findings were shared with partners in real time for situational awareness, and in a summary report on August 21.ConclusionsData from the EpiCenter system were consistent with reports from other data sources regarding this cluster of suspected drug overdoses. Next steps related to this event involve: monitoring data for reference to areas of concentrated substance use, enabling automated alerts to detect clusters of interest, and developing a plan to improve coordinate real-time communication with stakeholderswithin DPH and with external partners during events.
