A literatura como monumento: o cotidiano da fronteira na obra de Pedro de Medeiros
Authors: Mello Júnior Wandir De , Arf Lucilene Machado Garcia
Published: July 2020

Este artigo apresenta análise da obra do poeta e cronista corumbaense Pedro Paulo de Medeiros enquanto lugar de memória, haja vista a sua literatura encerrar o peso e o significado cultural que caracterizavam a cidade de Corumbá/MS no começo do século XX. Do livro póstumo Poesias, crônicas, comentários, obra organizada pelo seu filho Djalma Medeiros e lançada no ano de 1967, foram extraídos elementos que mostram o cotidiano da sua cidade, que faz fronteira com a Bolívia, e que carrega em seu bojo um caráter memorialista, de uma literatura de monumento. A fundamentação teórica deste trabalho tem perspectivas histórica e social, baseando-se nas reflexões e discussões dos teóricos Maurice Halbwachs e Stuart Hall acerca da questão da memória coletiva, extraindo dos poemas e das crônicas estudados um panorama mais completo da cidade, de seus personagens e das trocas culturais que foram ali estabelecidas. O método utilizado, o de análise de conteúdo, tanto do livro do autor, quanto de outros autores da região, possibilitou traçar um perfil da Corumbá de então, dando um vislumbre da situação econômica e social da Cidade Branca e das figuras que a orbitavam, de pescadores a intelectuais, situando no tempo-espaço a cidade que inspirou sua obra.
Transmodernidade e socialização do poder: resistência cultural dos povos originários em face do neopentecostalismo no Brasil
Authors: Silva Iona Gonçalves Santos , Rocha Marlucia Mendes da
Published: July 2020

O neopentecostalismo expande-se nas comunidades de povos originários no Brasil. O principal discurso deste movimento religioso fundamenta-se na teologia da prosperidade, como ferramenta da ética capitalista e insustentável sob ponto de vista ambiental (ALMEIDA, 2006; MEIRELLES,2011). A partir destes pressupostos, este artigo analisa as problemáticas envolvendo a maneira pela qual os povos indígenas têm resistido a esta nova forma de colonização. Inferiorização da crença religiosa, perda da diversidade cultural, dentre outros sintomas, demonstram os novos tentáculos do colonialismo. Sob as perspectivas teóricas acerca da transmodernidade (DUSSEL, 2009) e sobre a decolonialidade/ socialização de poder (QUIJANO,1999), urge a criação de um diálogo intercultural, entre os povos originários e as lideranças religiosas, no sentido de garantir a liberdade religiosa, mas primordialmente um multiverso multicultural.
Sexuality as Translation. Locating the “Queer” in Vietnamese Debates on Sexuality
Authors: Tran Richard Quang-Anh
Published: July 2020

Transnational debates on LGBTQ identities have centred on the conflict between universalism and particularism. Do LGBTQ identities, which are presumptively ‘Western’ come to colonize other local cultures? Does the use of the idea of ‘queer’ constitute an infelicitous Western imposition onto other cultures? In this study, I challenge some of the nativist responses to these questions by problematizing territorial claims of ‘Asian values’ and so-called ‘Western’ queer sexualities by showing the cultural infelicities and hybriding moorings in both. The article does so by examining a public debate that exploded in the Vietnamese print media in the late 1920s over the phenomenon of amorous relations between primarily male youth in the then newly emerging French-Vietnamese secondary schools. Based on this archive, the study maintains that same-sex sexuality foregrounds the dynamic practices of cross-cultural translation from East Asia and France, reflecting both the anxieties and aspirations of the interlocutors. Belonging neither solely to Eastern nor Western cultures, the phenomenon reveals its fundamental cultural impurity. In so doing, the archive brings into high relief the constructed artifice of Vietnamese nationalist ‘tradition’ and the ‘foreigness’ of queer sexuality.
Etymological Elaboration in Chéngyǔ 成语 Teaching
Authors: Conti Sergio
Published: July 2020

As a sub-type of Chinese idioms, chengyu 成语 play an important role in Chinese teaching. This study tested the effectiveness of etymological elaboration in relation to the type of instruction (direct or indirect), the degree of transparency of the chengyu, and the participants’ proficiency level. 48 post-elementary and 53 pre-intermediate learners were divided into three groups, one control and two experimental groups. The experimental groups attended to a 30-minute treatment, then a post-test was submitted to all the participants. Statistical and qualitative analysis revealed that indirect instruction was significantly more effective than direct instruction, independently from the participants’ competence level, and that opaque chengyu were more easily retained than transparent chengyu.
Troubles on the Border
Authors: dalla Chiesa Simone
Published: July 2020

This paper aims to determine the extent and effects of the phenomenon of inconsistent case-particle boundary marking in the grammatical annotation of Japanese. It is focused on establishing what represents ‘inconsistent boundary marking’, how it is dealt with in informational terms, what effect it has on communication, and why it should be avoided. To this purpose, I will first build a typology of the tokenization strategies in the grammatical annotation of Japanese. I will then individuate several forms of inconsistent boundary marking and, more in general, of poor grammatical annotation, and discuss them according to the types of inconsistency and their different epistemic effects.
Tierra y veneno. La expansión de la frontera agropecuaria en el Gran Chaco Argentino y sus conflictos socio-ambientales (1990-2017)
Authors: Zarrilli Adrian Gustavo
Published: July 2020

La  expansión  de  la  frontera  agrícola  en  la  Argentina,  motorizada  fundamentalmente  por  la  enorme  expansión  del  cultivo  de soja, ha producido una de las mayores transformaciones económicas, sociales, demográficas y territoriales en la historia del país, con  enormes  impactos  en  el ambiente y  en comunidades  rurales  tradicionales.  La región del Gran Chaco  Argentino  es  una  de  las  áreas  donde  la  soja  emerge  como  en  una  de  las principales actividades agrícola y donde la situación social revela, coincidentemente, los niveles de pobreza e indigencia más altos  del  país.  En  esta  región,  la agricultura  familiar  y  los  pequeños  productores  están  desapareciendo,  mientras  continúa  la emigración rural hacia los asentamientos miserables de las grandes ciudades, en un contexto donde centenares de  pueblos rurales están en proceso de extinción. Por eso la discusión central del problema socio-ambiental reside en una lucha por la  apropiación de  la  renta  proveniente  de  los  recursos  naturales  (generalmente  hasta  su  agotamiento). Estos conflictos ambientales tienen también un carácter distributivo y surgen de la discusión con que los diferentes actores sociales se relacionan con el mundo natural y con sus propias formas de vida referidas en general a bienes  en  disputa  o  a  como  se  ven  afectados  ciertos  sectores  por  otros,  derivados  de  un  mal  uso  de  estos.  En  el  caso  de estudio propuesto, la mayoría de los conflictos ambientales se apoyan en la problemática derivada de la mala gestión de los recursos naturales, cuyo principal conflicto ambiental existente es, de hecho el conflicto por la tierra.

Use Taxis to minimize your chances of catching Covid-19
Authors: Urban Maria
Published: July 2020

Use Taxis to minimize your chances of catching Covid-19So, Covid19 is here and as per the experts it’s not going anywhere for next 6 months or so. As the pandemic is picking strengths, experts are advising people to avoid mass gatherings and this has also triggered a significant change in our daily lifestyle.The things which were previously common are now prohibited, for instance, experts advise people to maintain social distancing even while travelling. The idea of social distances may be alien to some communities but it’s the only way we can survive this pandemic.And this has also spurred the debate that whether primary means of travelling like buses, trains, airplanes and taxis should be left intact - of course not, this would lead us to a disaster. Certain governments have taken measures to maintain social distancing during aerial flights and journeys by train, but the other left means buses and taxis are still intact..Undoubtedly, Taxi is the safest mode of travelling we currently have during this pandemic - that too with only 2 people behind and 2 in the front. If people adopt taxis as the primary means of travelling instead of buses and trains - for domestic travelling - the rate of infection can be significantly reduced.In contrast, when you travel on bus or other tightly packed transports, the risk of catching a virus gets higher. Not only can you catch the virus but you can spread the virus to hundreds of people if you unknowingly had the virus before.People coming from foreign countries, should choose taxis over other means of transportation. So, in case, if they had the virus before, at least it won’t be spread to other people. Also, social distancing measures can be best practiced inside a taxi rather than other means of transport.So, the conclusion is, taxis are the best possible transport available for airport transfer. However, finding a reliable taxi service in London is not easy, especially when you are choosing online. Slightest negligence causes you a significant amount of money.Introducing Luton Taxi Service, which is one of the best available services in the area. They ensure you every comfort. You can book online and in advance, you are pre-informed about the approximate fare of your ride. Moreover, they provide taxis in Luton 24/7, whether it's midnight or early dawn, you can call a cab or minicab at your doorstep on just one click.Likewise, if you are planning your transfer to the airport, with the help of their app you can book any cab according to your budget and confirm your timely transfer to the airport.Among Taxi companies of Luton, they are a credible name with experience of catering 1000s of airport transfers before. Not only airport transfers, but your station transfers and internal travelling can be made risk-free, budget-friendly, timely and according to the SOP’s if you choose the best Luton Taxi service.

INTEGRATING THE C.O.S.T.A. RESEARCH FRAMEWORK IN TEACHING OF THEMATIC ANALYSIS FOR POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS
Authors: Costa King
Published: July 2020

The C.O.S.T.A. Research Framework is a tool that was developed to assist students and novice researchers to navigate postgraduate studies with clarity and understanding. The emphasis of the method is on a five step approach comprising of (1) Concepts in research that are foundational to research language; (2) Objective of research which is being undertaken – likened to development of protocol or proposal; (3) Situation, emphasizing pre-comprehension of the current debate, likened to literature review; (4) Tact, which deals with methodological approaches to formulation of conclusions; (5) Assessment of output – ability to make judgments on trajectory followed and study results. This current study focused on the use of thematic analysis by students and novice researchers in completion of their research reports and scientific writings, which essentially forms part of Stage 4 of the C.O.S.T.A Framework. The author used a systematic mapping review to select units of analysis for the sole purpose of demonstrating gaps and inconsistencies on the application of the concept of thematic analysis. In most research reports, students demonstrate clear articulation of methods in coding and themes generation, however, evidence of these codes and how themes were generated was not reflected on most of reports reviewed. This situation seems to be a prevalent in most research reports, which detailed explication of interpretation of participant’s comments during interviews taking the prominent feature of presentation of results/findings section. It is for this reason that the C.O.S.T.A. Research Framework (Costak, 2019) is proposed as one of the methods for teaching students about different methods of qualitative data analysis in general and thematic analysis in particular.

El artículo planteó como objetivo determinar los procesos de intervención del equipo interdisciplinario en la valoración gerontogeriatrica de los residentes del Centro Gerontológico Guillermina Loor de Moreno. El trabajo consta de dos apartados interrelacionados entre sí. El primero describe la función que tiene el Trabajador Social en el Centro Gerontológico (Trabajo Social Gerontológico) como líder del equipo interdisciplinario. El segundo se centra en la valoración gerontogeriatrica que se obtiene a través del PIII (Plan de Intervención Individual Integral) que realizan los profesionales del equipo, quien actúa sujeto a la normativa técnica del MIES (Ministerio de Inclusión Económica y Social). Esto permitió entender y procesar mejor los protocolos de intervención en el campo del adulto mayor. Los métodos descriptivos – exploratorio, bibliográfico e inductivo-deductivo permitieron sintetizar la información de cada proceso, la técnica de la entrevista facilitó adquirir información relevante en la atención que reciben éste grupo vulnerable, planteando protocolos en la praxis para una mejor comprensión en los instrumentos de valoración. Para concluir, la presencia del Trabajador Social en el proceso de la valoración gerontogeriátrica es fundamental en la comprensión de los resultados, ya que, por la interferencia social en la aplicación de la normativa técnica, minimiza y agilita el protocolo para la consecución del informe del tamizaje social en los adultos mayores.
Composition and probable ore igneous rocks source of columbite from alluvial deposits of Mayoko district (Republic of the Congo)
Authors: MATONDO Idylle Plachini LOUFOUANDI , IVANOV Mikhail
Published: July 2020

The article presents the results of optical, electron microscopic and electron microprobe studies of columbite group minerals, collected during heavy mineral concentrate sampling of alluvial deposits in the Mayoko region (Republic of the Congo). The aim of the study is revealing tantalum niobates ore body in this region. We found that these minerals in loose deposits are represented by two grain-size groups: less than 1.6 mm (fine fraction) and 1.6-15 mm (coarse fraction). The grains of both fractions belong mainly to columbite-(Fe), less often to columbite-(Mn), tantalite-(Mn) and tantalite-(Fe), contain impurities of Sc, Ti, and W. The crystals have micro-scaled zoning (zones varies slightly in the Ta/Nb ratio values) and contains a lot of mineral inclusions and veins represented by zircon, pyrochlore supergroup minerals and others. Columbite-(Fe) and columbite-(Mn) are characterized by an increased content of Ta2O5 up to the transition to tantalite-(Fe) and tantalite-(Mn). This allows us to exclude the formation of subalkaline rare-metal granites, their metasomatites (albitites and greisenes) and carbonatites, from the list of possible columbite ore rocks source in the Mayoko district. Thus, beryl type and complex spodumene subtype rare-element pegmatites of the mixed petrogenetic family LCT-NYF (according to P.Černý) should be considered as a probable root source. The results of the research should be taken into account when developing the methodology for prospecting in this area.
Conceptual design of an abnormality sign determination system for the general control system of the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility at J-PARC
Authors: Sakai K. , Ooi M. , Teshigawara M. , Naoe T. , Haga K. , Watanabe A.
Published: July 2020

The general control system (GCS) in the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) has a data storage (DS) server that stores operational data on the status of neutron and muon targets in the MLF. It has worked well to detect unusual situations around these target stations and to investigate the causes of accidents by checking data in the DS server for short-term operations. To pick up potential abnormalities in the slight state transitions from the target stations, however, it is necessary to introduce an abnormality sign determination system (ASDS). This ASDS requires an integral data storage (IDS) server that stores various operational data throughout the proton beams, target stations, and secondary beams for long-term operations because it judges potential abnormalities by using algorithms based on analysis of these data. This report describes a present status of the GCS, a conceptual design for the ASDS, and the installation of the IDS server.

CONSTRUCTION ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE IN GENDER PESANTREN THROUGH KIAI’S TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP
Authors: Umiarso Umiarso , Muhith Abd.
Published: July 2020

Through transformational leadership, pesantren are able to make institutional changes to achieve success. Because this leadership style can build a strong organizational culture for the effectiveness of Islamic education in pesantren. Therefore, KHMA in PNIA is very effective in carrying out the construction of pesantren culture and shapes the behavior of all pesantren human resources. Therefore, this research uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological type; which aims to identify and analyze the kiai's transformational leadership style in building an organizational culture in pesantren. The theoretical framework used to analyze the dynamics of the kiai's leadership is the paradigm of Bass & Riggio. He divided the four dimensions of transformational leadership, i.e: idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual motivation, and individual consideration. This research found KHMA constructs pesantren culture by taking from the thoughts of ulama' salaf which are contained in the book of salaf -which is commonly called Kitab Kuning. On the one hand, the effectiveness of KHMA's self-leadership in PNIA is also inseparable from the normative doctrinal values of Islam, so that the kiai's leadership style is based on Islamic values. The implication is that the construction of organizational culture ranging from a philosophical framework to the practical values of pesantren needs to be bound by the basis of social-religious transformation.

Komunikasi persuasif adalah komunikasi yang dilakukan sebagai ajakan atau bujukan agar mau bertindak sesuai dengan keinginan komunikator selanjutnya komunikasi persuasif dinilai efektif dilakukan orang tua dalam mengatasi kenakalan pada remaja karena pesanpesan yang bersifat himbauan dan bujukan akan mudah diterima dan dipahami oleh remaja, secara bahasa komunikasi merupakan proses interaksi atau hubungan saling pengertian satu sama lain antara sesama manusia. Proses interaksi atau hubungan satu sama lain yang dikehendaki oleh seseorang dengan maksud agar dapat diterima dan dimengerti antara sesamanya. (Soewarno Handaya Ningrat, 1980:94) Carl I. Hovland mendefenisikan ilmu komunikasi sebagai upaya yang sistematis untuk merumuskan secara tegar asas-asas penyampaian informasi serta pembentukan pendapat dan sikap. Hovland mengatakan bahwa komunikasi adalah proses mengubah perilaku orang lain. (Onong Uchjana Efendy, 1992:10) Menurut Kamus Psikologi, Dictionary of Behavioral Science, yang dikutip oleh Rakhmat, menyebutkan enam pengertian komunikasi : Komunikasi 1) Penyampaian perubahan energi dari satu tempat ketempat yang lain seperti dalam sistem saraf atau penyampaian gelombang-gelombang suara. 2) Penyampaian atau penerimaan sinyal atau pesan oleh organisme. 3) Pesan yang disampaikan. 4) Teori Komunikasi.

Analisis Kebijakan Kevin Rudd terkait Pencari Suaka di Australia dalam PNG Solutions
Authors: Helmiyana Nurlaily
Published: July 2020

Papua New Guinea Solution is a bilateral relationship between Australia under Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Papua New Guinea regarding anti-resettlement conducted by people who want to access Australia and obtain refugee status by boat. This solution was taken after Kevin Rudd who came from the Australian Labor Party sent Pacific Solutions which had been used during Prime Minister Howard's administration. The difference in efforts to overcome the arrival of aid can be seen by using the Bureaucratic Model in its analysis. This effort was carried out with the aim of securing Australia. The problem is that Australia ratified the 1951 Refugees conference. The essence of PNG Solutions is individuals or groups who come to Australia who can pass Australia, and without a visa and a clear identity are not allowed into Australia and will be sent in Papua New Guinea. Australia's national interests can hurt ratified conventions. This study uses a qualitative method using secondary resources, and analysis uses the concept of securitization and uses Barry Buzan's research in his book People, State, and Fear. Then the policy analysis is taken by Prime Minister Rudd by using the Bureaucratic Model due to bargaining in Australia's domestic politics.

The Karo Protestant Batak Church (GBKP) does not have a permit to build a house of worship, so the surrounding community rejects the building. This paper focus on the strategy undertaken by the Inter-Community Forum (FLO) in resolving the GBKP establishment case, as well as the obstacles that occurred in resolving the GBKP case in 2016 in Tanjung Barat, South Jakarta. This study uses qualitative research methods with analysis and in-depth understanding. Based on the results of the study, the Strategy of the Inter-Organization Forum (FLO) in resolving the Protestant Christian Batak Church (GBKP) case related to the establishment of houses of worship was successfully carried out, through a legal, public and also South Jakarta government approach. Conflicts between religious communities in the West Tanjung area can be avoided, although the Protestant Batak Church (GBKP) cannot establish a church in the region. However, the government has relocated the worship activities of the Protestant Christian Batak Church (GBKP) in the Balai Minggu Sports Hall (GOR) Pasar Rakyat.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE – SCIENCE FICTION AND LEGAL REALITY
Authors: Koos Stefan
Published: July 2020

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being integrated into systems influencing decisions, analysing complex situations and conducting processes, which may be dangerous for humans. Yet AI is not strong enough to be able to feel or suffer and maybe it never will. However, the complexity of AI deciding will grow with the technical progress and it should be discussed, how far we are willing to integrate future AI systems into important social processes such as legal decisions or teaching. The article seeks to give an overview over constitutional problems of an integration of strong AI systems into social deciding processes. It analyses the ability of AI to have similar legal positions as natural persons and corporations in the light of the question, whether AI can be an agent for ethic. Furthermore, it presents options of a liability for damages caused by the activity of AI systems.

Authors: Abdelmounaem BENAHMED
Published: July 2020

يعتبر الدستور القانون الأساس في الدولة لما يتميز به من سمو شكلي وموضوعي، نظرا لطريقة وضعه من جهة والتي تكون إما بأسلوب الجمعية التأسيسية أو الاستفتاء أو الجمع بينهما ، أما من الناحية الموضوعية فإنه يتناول شكل الدولة ، نظام الحكم، سلطات الدولة والعلاقة فيما بينها بالإضافة إلى علاقتها بالأفراد الحقوق والحريات...، ونظرا لطبيعة الدستور كأعلى قانون في الدولة لابد أن يكون المرجعية الأولى لمختلف القوانين المتفرعة عنه، ولضمان هذا الارتباط كان لابد من وجود رقابة دستورية تحافظ على احترام الدستور وفي هذا الطرح سنتطرق لمختلف أنواع الرقابة على دستورية القوانين، سواء كانت رقابة امتناع أو إلغاء ونقف على حقيقة فعالية هذه الصور كأدوات رقابية.
حصانة الدولة ضد الإجراءات التنفيذية: دراسة مقارنة

لا شك أنَّ تنفيذ الأحكام الأجنبية الصادرة ضد الأشخاص الخاصة يختلف عن تنفيذ الأحكام الصادرة ضد دول من الدول، إذ ليس من السهل إجبار دولة على الخضوع لأحكام دولة أخرى أو حتى التنفيذ جبراً عليها في ما يتعلق بتنفيذ الأحكام الأجنبية، لما في ذلك من إنتهاك لسيادة الدول واستقلالها. ولحساسية الموضوع ولتعلقه بسيادة واستقلال الدول، ظهر نوع من المجاملة في المجتمع الدولي تطور إلى أنْ أصبح مبدأ من مبادئ القانون الدولي، وأخذت به الكثير من الاتفاقيات الدولية المتعلقة بتنفيذ الأحكام الأجنبية. وبموجب هذا المبدأ أصبحت الدول تتمتع بحصانة ضد إجراءات التنفيذ لا يمكن معها اتخاذ أي إجراء من إجراءات التنفيذ ضدها إلا برضاها. وتظهر مشكلة البحث جليا في الأثر السلبي لهذه الحصانة على تنفيذ الأحكام، فهي حق من حقوق الدولة لا يمكن إنكاره، إلّا أنَّ هذا الحق يتعارض مع حقوق أخرى تتعلق بحق صاحب الحكم الأجنبي في تنفيذ حكمه، كما أنَّها تتعارض مع مقتضيات العدالة، كونها تمنع تنفيذ الأحكام التي صدرت صحيحة عن محاكمة قبلت الدولة أنْ تكون طرفا فيها. ويهدف الباحث وباستخدام المنهج المقارن، إلى بيان ماهية الحصانة التنفيذية وبيان مجال الدفع بها، وكيف يتم التنازل عنها، من خلال المقارنة بين بعض الاتفاقيات التي عالجت هذه الموضوع فضلا عن التطبيقات القضائية والآراء الفقهية إنْ وجدت. وقد توصل الباحث إلى أنَّ الحصانة التنفيذية باتت حصانة نسبية تشمل فقط الأموال العامة أو السيادية غير التجارية، أما الأموال التجارية للدولة فيجوز التنفيذ عليها بكافة طرق التنفيذ، كما أنَّ هذه الحصانة ميزة للدولة ويمكن التنازل عنها وبالتالي تصبح كل أموال الدولة قابلة للتنفيذ والحجز.

Clinical studies suggested that endothelial dysfunction and damage could be involved in the development and severity of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). Accordingly, we found increased percentage of apoptotic Casp3+ blood vessels in duodenal and colonic mucosa biopsies of patients with severe aGVHD. In murine experimental aGVHD, we detected severe microstructural endothelial damage and reduced endothelial pericyte coverage accompanied by reduced expression of endothelial tight junction proteins leading to increased endothelial leakage in aGVHD target organs. During intestinal aGVHD, colonic vasculature structurally changed, reflected by increased vessel branching and vessel diameter. Because recent data demonstrated an association of endothelium-related factors and steroid refractory aGVHD (SR-aGVHD), we analyzed human biopsies and murine tissues from SR-aGVHD. We found extensive tissue damage but low levels of alloreactive T cell infiltration in target organs, providing the rationale for T-cell independent SR-aGVHD treatment strategies. Consequently, we tested the endothelium-protective PDE5 inhibitor sildenafil, which reduced apoptosis and improved metabolic activity of endothelial cells in vitro. Accordingly, sildenafil treatment improved survival and reduced target organ damage during experimental SR-aGVHD. Our results demonstrate extensive damage, structural changes, and dysfunction of the vasculature during aGVHD. Therapeutic intervention by endothelium-protecting agents is an attractive approach for SR-aGVHD complementing current anti-inflammatory treatment options.
Demographic history of the fragmented yellowthroated bulbul (Pycnonotus xantholaemus) population in the Deccan Peninsula, India
Authors: Jha A , Vasudevan K
Published: July 2020

The yellow-throated bulbul (YTB) is an endemic passerine restricted to scrub forests along hill slopes with exposed rocky outcrops in the Deccan Peninsula, India. It is found in small, discontinuous populations and is vulnerable to extinction due to ongoing habitat loss and subsequent population decline. To assess the genetic connectivity and past demography, we sequenced 1050 nucleotide base pairs of the mitochondrial control region of 60 individuals that represent distinct populations in the geographic range of the species. We recovered 39 haplotypes defined by 81 variable sites. Haplotype diversity was high with low nucleotide diversity, suggesting rapid population growth from a founder population with a small effective population size. The negative values of Tajima’sDand Fu’sFsand small positive value of Ramos-Onsins and Rozas’R2suggest deviation from neutrality and population expansion. The haplotype network and demographic expansion parameters further suggest historical population expansion. Mismatch analysis statistics and Bayesian skyline plots estimate population expansion during the late Pleistocene. Although the species presently occurs in small, disconnected we found no structuring of the population. Dispersal events are the most likely explanation for the absence of genetic structuring in the YTB population. These results represent important data for the design of a conservation plan for this endemic and globally threatened species.

The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has initiated a re-envisioned approach for providing decision makers with the best available science and synthesis of that information, called the Species Status Assessment (SSA), for endangered species decision making. The SSA report is a descriptive document that provides decision makers with an assessment of the current and predicted future status of a species. These analyses support all manner of decisions under the US Endangered Species Act, such as listing, reclassification, and recovery planning. Novel scientific analysis and predictive modeling in SSAs could be an important part of rooting conservation decisions in current data and cutting edge analytical and modeling techniques. Here, we describe a novel analysis of available data to assess the current condition of eastern black rail Laterallus jamaicensis jamaicensis across its range in a dynamic occupancy analysis. We used the results of the analysis to develop a site occupancy projection model where the model parameters (initial occupancy, site persistence, colonization) were linked to environmental covariates, such as land management and land cover change (sea-level rise, development, etc.). We used the projection model to predict future status under multiple sea-level rise and habitat management scenarios. Occupancy probability and site colonization were low in all analysis units, and site persistence was also low, suggesting low resiliency and redundancy currently. Extinction probability was high for all analysis units in all simulated scenarios except one with significant effort to preserve existing habitat, suggesting low future resiliency and redundancy. With the results of these data analyses and predictive models, the USFWS concluded that protections of the Endangered Species Act were warranted for this subspecies.

Analysis of the needs of teachers and students states that learning required teaching materials that utilized multimedia as a learning medium that could be accessed on cellphones (laptops) and laptops. This study is aimed to develop learning media in the form of inquiry-based digital chemistry books on acid-base titration material. This type of research is a research and development study using the ADDIE model. The subjects in this study were chemistry teachers and students of class XI Mipa 1 in SMA Plus N 2 Banyuasin III. The instruments used to collect data were in the form of questionnaires, interviews, and daily logs. From the results of media validation, material validation and learning design validation state that this digital chemistry book is suitable for use in acid-base titration material. The results of the assessment of two chemistry teachers on digital books were stated to be very good with the kappa test obtained a value of 0.814. In the one-on-one trial, it was 86.67% feasibility, and in the small-group trial it was 95%. Chemistry digital books on inquiry- based acid-base titration material are appropriate for use in chemistry learning and are expected to be applied in learning to improve students critical thinking skills.
