The Model of Optimal Allocation of Maritime Oil Spill Combat Ships
Authors: Łazuga Kinga , Gucma Lucjan , Perkovic Marko
Published: July 2018

The paper describes a two-stage method for optimizing the location of marine oil spill combat forces and assessing the costs related to this action at the sea. An optimization problem relates to positioning the oil pollution combat ships in ports in such a way that they are able combat the anticipated number of oil spills in certain positions in the Polish coast of the Baltic Sea area in the shortest possible time. The problem was classified as NP-hard; therefore, in the first stage, an evolutionary algorithm was applied. The main output of the model based on the evolutionary algorithm is the time of arrival of combat ships from the port to the oil spill area, as well as the costs of such operation; this is defined as the aim function. The first stage of the model does not simulate combat pollution action; therefore, the results obtained were treated as approximate. In the second stage, the several best allocations of oil spill response resources obtained in the first stage were used as input to a detailed simulation model of combat action. For each chosen allocation, a number of oil combat action simulations were carried out. The model can be used to create and verify oil pollution contingency plans, and finally increase the sustainability of sea and coastal areas.
Schützenberger Symmetries in Network Structures
Authors: Parks Allen D.
Published: July 2018

It is known that the set of all networks of fixed order form a semigroup. This fact provides for the Green’s L, R, H and D  equivalence equivalence classifications of all such networks. These classifications reveal certain structural invariants common to all networks within a Green’s equivalence class and enables the computation of the associated invariant preserving symmetries that transform a network into another network within a Green’s equivalence class. Here, the notion of Schützenberger symmetries in network structures is introduced. These are computable symmetries which transform any network within an H-equivalence class into another network within that class in a manner that preserves the associated structural invariants. Useful applications of Schützenberger symmetries include enabling the classification and analysis of biological network data, identifying important relationships in social networks, and understanding the consequences of link reconfiguration in communication and sensor networks.
Intuitionistic Fuzzy Multiple Attribute Decision-Making Model Based on Weighted Induced Distance Measure and Its Application to Investment Selection
Authors: Li Zhengmao , Sun Dechao , Zeng Shouzhen
Published: July 2018

This paper investigates an intuitionistic fuzzy multiple attribute decision-making method based on weighted induced distance and its application to investment selection. Specifically, an intuitionistic fuzzy weighted induced ordered weighted averaging operator is proposed to eliminate the drawbacks of existing methods by extending the functions of the order-induced variables. The main advantage of the proposed operator is its dual roles of the order-inducing variables that can simultaneously induce arguments and moderate associated weights. A further extension of the proposed operator is its adaptation towards measuring intuitionistic fuzzy information more effectively. In addition, a multiple attribute decision-making model based on the proposed distance operators is proposed. Finally, the practicability and validity of the proposed model are illustrated by using a numerical example related to investment selection.
Iterative Group Decomposition for Refining Microaggregation Solutions
Authors: Khomnotai Laksamee , Lin Jun-Lin , Peng Zhi-Qiang , Santra Arpita Samanta
Published: July 2018

Microaggregation refers to partitioning n given records into groups of at least k records each to minimize the sum of the within-group squared error. Because microaggregation is non-deterministic polynomial-time hard for multivariate data, most existing approaches are heuristic based and derive a solution within a reasonable timeframe. We propose an algorithm for refining the solutions generated using the existing microaggregation approaches. The proposed algorithm refines a solution by iteratively either decomposing or shrinking the groups in the solution. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed algorithm effectively reduces the information loss of a solution.
Low Levels of Chito-Oligosaccharides Are Not Effective in Reducing Deoxynivalenol Toxicity in Swine Jejunal Explants
Authors: Gerez Juliana , Buck Letícia , Marutani Victor Hugo , Calliari Caroline Maria , Bracarense Ana Paula
Published: July 2018

Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin that affects the intestinal morphology of animals, impairing nutrient intake and growth. On the other hand, dietary supplementation with functional oligosaccharides as chito-oligosaccharides (COS) has shown positive effects on the intestinal health of piglets. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of low doses of COS in preventing DON-induced intestinal histological changes, using a swine jejunal explant technique. The intestinal explants were incubated at 37 °C in culture medium for 4 h and exposed to the following treatments: (a) control (only culture medium), (b) DON (10 µM), (c) 25COS (0.025 mg·mL−1 of COS); (d) 50COS (0.05 mg·mL−1 of COS); (e) 25COS plus DON (25COS + DON); (f) 50COS plus DON (50COS + DON). Explants exposed to COS presented intestinal morphology similar to control samples. DON induced a significant decrease in the histological score as a consequence of moderate to severe histological changes (apical necrosis, villi atrophy, and fusion) and a significant decrease in morphometric parameters (villi height, crypt depth, villi height:crypt depth ratio, and goblet cells density). The intestinal morphology of samples exposed to COS + DON remained similar to DON treatment. In conclusion, low levels of COS did not counteract DON-induced intestinal lesions.

Published: July 2018

Group A rotaviruses (RVA) are one of the most common causes of severe acute gastroenteritis in infants worldwide. Rotaviruses spread from person to person, mainly by faecal–oral transmission. Almost all unvaccinated children may become infected with RVA in the first two years of life. The establishment of an experimental monkey model with RVA is important to evaluate new therapeutic approaches. In this study, we demonstrated viral shedding and viraemia in juvenile–adult Macaca fascicularis orally inoculated with Wa RVA prototype. Nine monkeys were inoculated orally: seven animals with human RVA and two control animals with saline solution. During the study, the monkeys were clinically monitored, and faeces and blood samples were tested for RVA infection. In general, the inoculated animals developed an oligosymptomatic infection pattern. The main clinical symptoms observed were diarrhoea in two monkeys for three days, associated with a reduction in plasmatic potassium content. Viral RNA was detected in seven faecal and five sera samples from inoculated animals, suggesting virus replication. Cynomolgus monkeys are susceptible hosts for human Wa RVA infection. When inoculated orally, they presented self-limited diarrhoea associated with presence of RVA infectious particles in faeces. Thus, cynomolgus monkeys may be useful as animal models to evaluate the efficacy of new antiviral approaches.
Erosion, Suspended Sediment Transport and Sedimentation on the Wadi Mina at the Sidi M’Hamed Ben Aouda Dam, Algeria
Authors: Hallouz Faiza , Meddi Mohamed , Mahé Gil , Toumi Samir , Rahmani Salah Eddine Ali
Published: July 2018

The objective of this study was to follow-up on the evolution of the hydro-pluviometric schemes and particular elements of Wadi Mina (6048 km2) to the Sidi M’Hamed Ben Aouda Dam to evaluate the silting origin and status of this dam situated in the northwest of Algeria. The pluviometric study targeted a series of rains during 77 years (1930–2007), the liquid discharge data cover a period of 41 years (1969–2010) and the solids and suspended sediment concentrations data cover very variable periods, starting from 22 to 40 years for the entire catchment area. The statistical tests for ruptures detection on the chronological series of rains and discharges indicate a net reduction of rains of more than 20% on the entire basin since 1970. The evolution of solids inputs was quantified: the maximum values are registered on autumn start and at the end of spring. The Wadi Mina basin brings annually 38 × 106 m3 of water with a specific degradation of 860 t·km−2·year−1. By comparing the results found, we thus observe that the basin upstream of SMBA (1B) Dam is the greatest sediment producer towards the dam because it shows a specific degradation equal to 13.36 t·ha−1·year−1.
DEVELOPING WASPAS-RTB METHOD FOR RANGE TARGET-BASED CRITERIA: TOWARD SELECTION FOR ROBUST DESIGN
Authors: Jahan Ali
Published: July 2018

Recently, considerable attention has been devoted to application of multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) method in materials selection. Normalization can be considered as a foundation for rational MADM methods, which should deal with target-based criteria in addition to cost and benefit criteria. Although a good number of applications have been reported for point target criteria in MADM problems, in selection problems related to engineering design, it might be better to let the material and design criteria vary over a range in order to increase flexibility in subsequent design stages. The mentioned point supports a readily adaptable design in changing the customer requirements, which is also significant in offering a robust design. In this research, performance of three promising target-based normalization methods was investigated using simulation experiments to examine the effect of simulation parameters. The effect of parameters and normalization methods was examined using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Moreover, the best structure formula was identified to propose an inclusive range target-based normalization method. The suggested normalization method was used to enhance the capability of Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment (WASPAS) method and applied to a real-word problem dealing with benefit-, cost-, and point target-based criteria as well as the range criterion.

NUMERICAL-SYMBOLIC METHODS FOR SEARCHING RELATIVE EQUILIBRIA IN THE RESTRICTED PROBLEM OF FOUR BODIES
Authors: Prokopenya Alexander
Published: July 2018

We discuss here the problem of solving the system of two nonlinear algebraic equations determining the relative equilibrium positions in the planar circular restricted four-body problem formulated on the basis of the Euler collinear solution of the three-body problem. The system contains two parameters $\mu_1$, $\mu_2$ and all its solutions coincide with the corresponding solutions in the three-body problem if one of the parameters equals to zero. For small values of one parameter the solutions are found in the form of power series in terms of this parameter, and they are used for separation of different solutions and choosing the starting point in the numerical procedure for the search of equilibria. Combining symbolic and numerical computation, we found all the equilibrium positions and proved that there are 18 different equilibrium configurations of the system for any reasonable values of the two system parameters $\mu_1$, $\mu_2$. All relevant symbolic and numerical calculations are performed with the aid of the computer algebra system Wolfram Mathematica.
Jar-by-Jar: Curation Improvements to the Herpetology Collection at CUMNH
Authors: Braker Emily
Published: July 2018

The University of Colorado Museum of Natural History (CUMNH) Herpetology Collection is comprised of over 65,000 fluid-preserved specimens representing over 2,500 taxa from more than 70 countries. Despite its active use, a history of irregular topping up schedules and a decades-long dearth in rehousing projects due to budgetary constraints left the collection in substandard conditions. A 2015 survey of roughly 10% of the collection revealed average ethanol concentrations far below desired levels, with only 15% of specimen jars surveyed containing optimal preservative strengths of 70% (+/- 2.5%). In Fall 2017, CUMNH secured an Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) grant to holistically address shortcomings in the micro- and macro-storage environments within the Herpetology Collection. Program activities include jar-by-jar ethanol remediation using a digital density meter and a topping up algorithm proposed by Notton 2010, collection-wide replacement of faulty jars and lids, and installation of new static and mobile compactor shelving. Updates to nomenclature and a full specimen inventory including condition and location tracking in Arctos also fall within the project scope. This talk will cover progress thus far, our approaches to moving a collection in place, and systematic remedial topping up as a valuable counterpart to routine monitoring in fluid collections.
Natural History Collection Data: Traits to Identify Plant-Pollinator Interactions in a Spatial Context
Authors: Borges Rafael , França Costa Wilian , Saraiva Antonio , Imperatriz-Fonseca Vera , Giannini Tereza
Published: July 2018

Natural history collections are of extreme importance as they safeguard data from both spatial and temporal sources. Biological collections store the biodiversity information of the majority of the world´s ecosystems, including data from extinct and threatened species. Worldwide, interactions betweens species perform important functions that contribute to the maintenance of the environment. The use of biodiversity by human society generates the so called Ecosystems Services (Nature’s Contributions to People), which may act at a local or even a global scale, as is the case with crop pollination services. Bees are the most important pollinator group and are responsible for the pollination of approximately 80% of Angiosperms and 75% of the crops worldwide.

Bee pollinator decline has raised concern globally, the loss and degradation of habitat being one of the causes, with detrimental impacts on food production and biodiversity. In this context, we suggest incorporating and providing spatially explicit plant-pollinator interaction data into natural history collections databases. Plant-pollinator interaction traits (morphological, biochemical, physiological, structural, phenological or behavioural characteristics of organisms that influence performance or fitness) can firstly be identified through pollination syndromes by using floral traits such as size, shape, color, odor and the reward. Bee body size (estimated usually by intertegular distance) and tongue length are important traits that can be used to evaluate bee-flower compatibility and also to estimate an average flight range for each bee species through the landscape. Since interaction is context dependent, data on functional traits could be associated with spatial references, such as geographic coordinates, altitude and land use where species were collected. Such information is usually available in data repositories delivered by collections. Thus, the association of species identification, functional traits and occurrences can act as an important tool for understanding local ecosystem processes, to forecast impacts based on land use and climate change and also for assisting decision making processes for nature conservation. Online databases must also be linked to a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), as is the case for data plubications, so that the work of providing the data can be properly acknowledged and cited in the literature.
FishfindR.net: A New Tool for Fish Biodiversity Collections Communication
Authors: Singer Randal , Love Kevin , Page Lawrence
Published: July 2018

Promotion of collection importance is paramount in securing a future in research and outreach through the exposure of diverse stakeholders to the incredible resource of biological collections. One outlet to increase exposure to collections’ data is through data aggregation. Data aggregation allows for a wide array of research, education and outreach activities that would otherwise be impossible. As the National Resource for Advancing Digitization of Biodiversity Collections (ADBC) funded by the National Science Foundation - iDigBio has made large contributions to collections with regards to communication, outreach and community training.

Two facets of iDigBio’s mission statement are: to facilitate the aggregation of collections data and to promote its use. Recently, a new resource for fish collections (fishfindR.net) has contributed to both the aforementioned missions. FishFindR utilizes data aggregated by iDigBio to explore, share and compare fish collection data as it is presented in the iDigBio portal via a web resource. The data is shown in accessible, easy to use and easy to read interfaces. This resource also provides the fish research community with a way to reconcile collection data to institutions from the iDigBio recordsets. This gives fish collections stakeholders data and tools that will be useful in communicating their value, advocating for support, applying best practices to their data publishing and improving collections’ sustainability as a community. Going forward, it is the hope that this resource will provide other taxonomic disciplines with a framework to provide similar services for their stakeholders and that through a network of taxonomic specific collection resources that collections’ staff will become similarly empowered to use their own data as a communication tool.
Building the Beaty: Creating, Maintaining, and Growing a Publicly Accessible Biodiversity Museum Collection in the Pacific Ring of Fire
Authors: Stinson Christopher
Published: July 2018

Eight years from the grand opening of the Beaty Biodiversity Museum (BBM) at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, British Columbia and the museum is going strong. Having gone through many changes developing the procedures and policies that both protect and showcase its invaluable collections, the BBM is a pertinent case study for dealing with the issues that come with setting up a natural history museum in the Pacific Ring of Fire. Unique in Canada and perhaps the world, the BBM has all of its collection space publicly accessible. All the displays and exhibits are contained within the collection storage area and are thus subject to all that comes with public display. This coupled with being located in Vancouver British Columbia, an earthquake prone region, makes building and maintaining a natural history museum quite the task.

From the onset, planning the building and storage space created a complex suite of issues with building code, collection protection, and public access. Balancing between the various needs pulling the design and building construction in different directions has seen the BBM develop in many unique and interesting ways to utilize, protect and exhibit its over 2 million specimens. Meeting British Columbia’s strict earthquake, fire and safety codes coupled with housing UBC’s collections made for a museum with a distinctive set of problems. From the gargantuan task of moving the collections, to insect infestations and floods there are many events that would give any museum worker nightmares. There have been multiple conservation projects and a huge digitization initiative across collections. Major expansions in the exhibits, education, policies, and evaluation realms mean our work is always changing. Now well into our eighth year, the BBM has gone through many changes. Always growing the collections, while constantly adapting to our ever-changing community’s needs, the BBM has been able to expand its exhibits, program offerings, and profile all while maintaining the utmost in collections care and conservation.
Workshop in the Care of Historic Mammal Taxidermy
Authors: Sybalsky Julia , Ritchie Fran
Published: July 2018

The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) proposes to present a one-day workshop focused on the preventive care and basic conservation treatment of historic mammal taxidermy for professionals who work with these collections, including conservators, collection managers, preventive care professionals, museum preparators, exhibition technicians, and taxidermists. This workshop was developed with funding from the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS), and was presented in 2017 at the annual meeting of SPNHC in Denver, Colorado. It will be led by natural science conservators from the AMNH, and will provide participants with a thorough working knowledge of the preservation needs of historic mammalian taxidermy and how to address common condition issues. In addition to this knowledge, participants will leave with conservation references, and samples of common treatment materials. The workshop format will incorporate a combination of presentations, demonstrations, interdisciplinary group discussions, and hands-on experimentation. Two pre-workshop webinars on background and safety information will be offered for registered participants.
Tools and Techniques of Implementation Science to Support Wide-Spread Adoption of Biodiversity Literacy Standards
Authors: Douglas Natalie , Monfils Anna , Ellwood Elizabeth R.
Published: July 2018

Implementation science boasts tools and techniques to increase the chances of adoption of best practices to a wide variety of users. Theoretical roots of implementation science are present in education, mental health and health services research. This talk will highlight the application of implementation science principles to the wide-spread adoption of biodiversity data literacy standards. Perspectives from key stakeholders including biology instructors of all ranks at community colleges, minority serving institutions, primarily undergraduate institutions, research intensive universities, biodiversity researchers, and scientific society leaders and policy makers, will be presented according to need, fit, resources, capacity and readiness to support the implementation of biodiversity data literacy standards in undergraduate biology curriculums. Through systematic exploration of the facilitators and barriers to the implementation of biodiversity data literacy standards across multiple participants and people groups, specific action steps will be highlighted to address such barriers.

Consistent with the Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education: A Call to Action, this talk will describe the collaborations completed and in-process by the BLUE network that support an accessible student and data-centered pedagogy, designed to support diverse and underrepresented learners. For example, core biodiversity data literacy competencies will be described according to field leaders and perceived barriers to implementation of these competencies will provide a springboard for further discussion and action.

Principles of implementation science explicitly recognize that best practices such as biodiversity data literacy standards, are useful only if they reach diverse intended users – otherwise, best practices and core competencies may have the opposite effect – contributing to educational and health disparities. This talk will highlight the active implementation strategies BLUE has employed to support engagement across distinct people groups to support implementation of these standards. As opposed to developing standards and having a “wait and hope” approach to these standards distilling to undergraduate biology curriculums, strategies discussed in this talk will serve as a catalyst for wide-spread adoption of the standards scientists have worked so rigorously to foster.
Preparing the Next Generation of Data-Driven Scientists through the Biodiversity Literacy in Undergraduate Education – Data Initiative (BLUE Data)
Authors: Monfils Anna , Ellwood Elizabeth , Linton Debra , Phillips Molly , White Lisa , Douglas Natalie
Published: July 2018

The Biodiversity Literacy in Undergraduate Education - Data Initiative (BLUE Data) is a US National Science Foundation-funded Research Coordination Network in Undergraduate Biology (RCN-UBE) working to generate community consensus around biodiversity data literacy skills. This diverse network brings together biodiversity, data, and education specialists to identify core biodiversity data competencies for undergraduate students, develop strategies for integrating these competencies into the introductory biology curriculum, and build capacity for sustained development and implementation of biodiversity and data literacy education. Since the start of funding one year ago, BLUE Data has been working to review the current landscape of data literacy competencies from primary to graduate education in biodiversity data science, identify gaps in student learning related to data and biodiversity science core skills, and generate community consensus on defined biodiversity data literacy standards.

At a recent BLUE Data workshop associated with the Emerging Innovations for Biodiversity Data conference in Berkeley, California, participants worked together to define competencies and identify strategies to facilitate broad-scale integration of transferrable data literacy skills and knowledge to improve undergraduate biology training and meet increasing workforce demands in both data and biodiversity sciences. This discussion also identified current efforts and explored existing resources in order to identify gaps that should be targeted in our efforts moving forward.

In this presentation, we will introduce the SPNHC and TDWG communities to BLUE Data, and describe our vision and goals, partners, and educational modules. We will share results from our recent activities, including the outcomes of the Emerging Innovations for Biodiversity Data workshop. BLUE Data welcomes new partnerships with those also interested in defining the undergraduate biodiversity data literacy landscape and charting future efforts of this network.
Expanding Core Capability in Digitisation by Sharing of Resources: the CSIRO Collections Program for Digitisation of Collection Specimens
Authors: Fisher Nicole , Toms Emma
Published: July 2018

Educational Materials Share Fair at SPNHC 2018

Given the high number of specimens present around the world in natural history museums, digitisation, or the transformation of specimens from the physical to digital, has become the collections community’s grand challenge. A team made up of volunteers and casual staff are human resources for the digitisation of Australia’s largest biological collections, over 15 million specimens held at CSIRO. An image-based digitisation program at the Australian National Insect Collection (ANIC), and a similar imaging project at the Australian National Herbarium (ANH) are transforming the way we engage with volunteers & recruit staff in collections digitisation. Providing insights on the CSIRO specimen digitisation program, we will share resources and materials that can easily be adapted to your next collections digitisation program.

In 2018, we found that diversity and flexibility in roles assigned to personnel rather than assigning rigid and specific roles to individuals, was more successful for our collections digitisation volunteers and staff. Also, we introduced dexterity games which help develop fine motor skills and hand coordination while breaking up the monotony of the role. We also integrated materials aimed at educating the volunteers and staff about digitisation and curation and the impact of digitising collections. All of these improvements to the digitisation program are building a sense of determination amongst the dedicated volunteers and staff and curation levels are growing, leading to the increase and maintenance of collection integrity.

Build scale and value by integrating these new lessons learned, procedures, manuals, training documentation, workflows and work health and safety into your next digitisation project.
Two new species of Brusqeulia Razowski & Becker, 2000 from the Neotropics, with comments on the systematic position of the genus in relation to the Apolychrosis Amsel, 1962 group of genera (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae, Cochylini)

Systematics of the ant genus Proceratium Roger (Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Proceratiinae) in China – with descriptions of three new species based on micro-CT enhanced next-generation-morphology
Authors: Staab Michael , Hita Garcia Francisco , Liu Cong , Xu Zheng-Hui , Economo Evan P.
Published: July 2018

The genusProceratiumRoger, 1863 contains cryptic, subterranean ants that are seldom sampled and rare in natural history collections. Furthermore, mostProceratiumspecimens are extremely hairy and, due to their enlarged and curved gaster, often mounted suboptimally. As a consequence, the poorly observable physical characteristics of the material and its scarcity result in a rather challenging alpha taxonomy of this group. In this study, the taxonomy of the ChineseProceratiumfauna is reviewed and updated by combining examinations of traditional light microscopy with x-ray microtomography (micro-CT). Based on micro-CT scans of seven out of eight species, virtual 3D surface models were generated that permit in-depth comparative analyses of specimen morphology in order to overcome the difficulties to examine physical material ofProceratium. Eight Chinese species are recognized, of which three are newly described:ProceratiumbruelheideiStaab, Xu & Hita Garcia,sp. n.andP.kepingmaisp. n.belong to theP.itoiclade and have been collected in the subtropical forests of southeast China, whereasP.shoheisp. n.belongs to theP.stictumclade and it is only known from a tropical forest of Yunnan Province.ProceratiumnujiangenseXu, 2006syn. n.is proposed as a junior synonym ofP.zhaoiXu, 2000. These taxonomic acts raise the number of known ChineseProceratiumspecies to eight. In order to integrate the new species into the existing taxonomic system and to facilitate identifications, an illustrated key to the worker caste of all Chinese species is provided, supplemented by species accounts with high-resolution montage images and still images of volume renderings of 3D models based on micro-CT. Moreover, cybertype datasets are provided for the new species, as well as digital datasets for the remaining species that include the raw micro-CT scan data, 3D surface models, 3D rotation videos, and all light photography and micro-CT still images. These datasets are available online (Dryad, Staab et al. 2018, http://dx.doi.org/10.5061/dryad.h6j0g4p).

Authors: Zhang Chao , Martens Jochen
Published: July 2018

Starengoviaquadrituberculatasp. n. is described and illustrated based on male and female specimens collected in Yunnan Province, China. The new species is distinct from the two other congeners, S.kirgizica Snegovaya, 2010 and S.ivanloebli Martens, 2017, in having two pairs of low submedian tubercles on abdominal areae III and IV; distal margin of the lateral foliate wing-like structures of the penis situated close to the glans base, the short rod-like stylus, the form and position of spines on the stylus of the penis, anvil-shaped tubercles mainly on front margin of prosoma. The occurrence of Starengovia in Yunnan, the second nemastomatine species in China, creates a huge distributional gap of roughly 2700 km distance to its closest neighbor S.ivanloebli in Northwest Pakistan. The historical relations of Chinese nemastomatines are discussed.
Red Sea Opisthobranchia 5: new species and new records of chromodorids from the Red Sea (Heterobranchia, Nudibranchia, Chromodorididae)
Authors: Yonow Nathalie
Published: July 2018

This is the fifth publication describing species of sea slug heterobranchs, originally based on collections from the Red Sea by the author on four expeditions carried out in 1983 and 1990, with the addition of specimens subsequently collected by underwater photographers who were stimulated by the book "Sea Slugs of the Red Sea". So much material has been amassed that only the new species and new Red Sea records of chromodorids are described in this paper, with an appendix listing specimens of previously recorded species. Three new species are described in detail and illustrated, belonging to three different genera: Doriprismaticakyanomarginata sp. n., Glossodoriskahlbrocki sp. n., and Goniobranchuspseudodecorus sp. n. One western Pacific species is recorded for the first time in the Red Sea, Goniobranchuscollingwoodi (Rudman, 1987). The nomenclature of Verconiasudanica is discussed and stabilised.
Les stibadia rupestres de Pétra (Jordanie)
Authors: Tholbecq Laurent
Published: July 2018

La capitale nabatéenne présente une quinzaine d’espaces rupestres circulaires ou semi-circulaires ( stibadia ) servant, à côté de très nombreux triclinia , de cadre à des banquets. Leur corpus est réuni ici pour la première fois (relevés et descriptions) et une étude d’ensemble est proposée (typologie, contextes, datation, utilisation). La majorité des stibadia apparaît en contexte funéraire et répond à un plan canonique associant un petit lit de table semi-circulaire à une avant-cour parfois inondée ; les quatre structures qui se démarquent de cette norme, par leur taille ou leur morphologie, appartiennent à des contextes religieux. Les rares indices chronologiques réunis datent ces espaces du i er  s. de n. è. au plus tard, soit de l’époque de la Nabatène indépendante. Des comparaisons avec des espaces de réunion semi-circulaires et circulaires à banquettes conservés à Alexandrie et à Nea Paphos, datés des iii e et ii e  s. av. n. è., suggèrent une origine ptolémaïque de ce type de structure et, partant, expliquent sa présence dans la capitale du royaume nabatéen.
Détourage et détournement, à propos d’un bas-relief dessiné par Pirro Ligorio
Authors: Veymiers Richard
Published: July 2018

L’exceptionnel fonds d’images que constituent, au milieu du xvi e  s., les Antichità romane de Pirro Ligorio recèle le dessin d’un petit autel, localisé à Gaeta, qui porte une dédicace à Asklèpios et Hygie, et un relief le montrant sous la forme d’un serpent devant sa fille. À quel monument antique se rattache en réalité ce dessin si insolite ? Quel parcours a-t-il suivi avant et après avoir été ainsi relevé par l’antiquaire napolitain ? Cette enquête, amorcée à la Renaissance, nous a permis de retrouver la trace d’un document étonnant, totalement détourné par Ligorio, dont nous avons cherché à percer le sens et à mesurer l’impact durant l’Antiquité. Ce monument n’est nullement lié à Asklèpios et à la forme sous laquelle il arriva à Rome. La clé d’élucidation de son iconographie réside dans la protection que les divinités isiaques accordaient au transport du blé depuis Alexandrie jusqu’à Rome.

Ces textes sacrés du brahmanisme thématisent les notions de brahman (conscience cosmique) et d’ âtman (conscience individuelle), la prise de conscience de l’identité entre brahman et âtman amenant la libération finale de l’âme ( moksha ). Cette contribution aborde les modalités, les résultats et les limites de la réception jungienne des Upanishad  ; elle montre que ces textes permettent à Jung de se libérer des représentations occidentales et de l’emprise de Freud à un moment critique de sa vie.
Voyages en émotions d’amour, de haine et du connaître
Authors: Fognini Mireille
Published: July 2018

Dans cet article l’auteure développe l’idée que « l’éprouvé d’aimer » s’originerait chez l’humain dans la métabolisation progressive d’« une émotion esthétique » de la première rencontre saisissante de l’ infans avec la mère. Décrit par Meltzer, cet éprouvé intense, médusant tout l’être, surgi par un « choc esthétique » d’amour énigmatique immanent et non-verbal, soulève un ressenti haineux de fort « conflit » interne, s’intégrant et se développant peu à peu au sein de l’évolution des relations mère/enfant qui génèrent un tissage de vécus particuliers « d’expériences émotionnelles esthétiques » plus ou moins ravivées en certains moments ultérieurs de la vie. Ces expériences correspondent aux effets des corrélations des liens émotionnels fondamentaux d’Amour, (A) de Haine (H) et de Connaissance (C), ces trois passions qui animent ensemble la personnalité humaine (Bion). Toutes les turbulences émotionnelles de la relation primordiale infantile qui en découlent, en leurs états non encore introjectés voire peu ou mal intégrés chez l’analysant comme chez le psychanalyste, se translatent, se reportent, se déplacent, se transfèrent dans le déroulement des cures qui en réaniment leurs différents effets entre les deux protagonistes ; il en est résumé de récentes avancées théorico-cliniques et fourni quelques exemples portés à la réflexion.
L. en quête d’(h) auteur. Sur la ligne de crête du transfert
Authors: Lagrue Marie-Hélène
Published: July 2018

Comment, à partir de la vive préoccupation de l’analyste, L., un jeune patient figure du mort-vivant, ne sachant pas vivre et ne pouvant mourir, est saisi au vif de ce qu’il appréhende le plus : l’amour. Les voix mêlées de l’écrivain R. Gary et de L. nous permettront d’appréhender cet intense amour de transfert, de saisir comment il peut devenir cette mise en mouvement de l’Inconscient, apportant un certain éclairage sur le refoulé et éloignant de la tentation du suicide.
Amour de : transfert/contre transfert. Transfert d’amour
Authors: de Sinéty Jean-Marie
Published: July 2018

Il s’agit ici de développer l’idée que si l’amour de transfert (voire de contre transfert) contient bien les strates d’un amour infantile névrotique, il est aussi autre, sans doute plus complexe. Ici, le travail d’un analyste dont l’amour sera « suffisamment bon » consistera à penser que le je de l’analysant « ne peut persister qu’en devenant autre, en s’altèrant, en acceptant de se découvrir différent de celui qu’il était et de celui qu’il est dans un actuel... toujours en mouvance » (Monique Lauret, « les accidents du transfert »)
Análisis de alteraciones murarias y modificaciones relacionales en dos áreas del palacio de Pedro I del Alcázar de Sevilla mediante estudio documental y verificación termográfica
Authors: Moral Ruiz Carmen , García Bueno Ana , Cultrone Giuseppe , Almagro Gorbea Antonio
Published: July 2018

El palacio de Pedro I, dentro del Real Alcázar de Sevilla, es un elemento de gran importancia en el urbanismo sevillano. Se dirige esta investigación a esclarecer las intervenciones llevadas a cabo en los vestíbulos de entrada al palacio y en la zona este del Patio de las Doncellas, de forma que se pueda comprender cómo influyeron estos cambios en la compleja articulación de los espacios de la planta baja del palacio en el siglo XIX. Se ha realizado un estudio de las fuentes históricas, tanto gráficas como escritas, para comparar resultados con estudios propios de las ciencias experimentales como la termografía infrarroja. Se han obtenido datos sobre las aperturas realizadas en los paramentos y sus dimensiones, junto con las motivaciones para su ejecución que se relacionan con una mejor circulación e iluminación y con conceptos erróneos sobre la distribución inicial del palacio en su construcción en el siglo XIV.

La climatologie est morte!; vive la climatologie!; reflexiones sobre el cambio climático
Authors: Sanz Donaire Juan José
Published: July 2018

Este trabajo expone la necesidad de una definición de clima aceptada por la comunidad científica como paso previo a la noción de cambio climático. Se exponen y comentan distintos conceptos de clima, desde los orígenes griegos de la palabra, en los que se destaca la variabilidad natural, que debiera extenderse igualmente al cambio climático. Dicha variabilidad no está delimitada, por lo que arrastra su indefinición al cambio climático.

[fr] Ce travail veut poser l'accent sur la nécessité d'une définition acceptée par la communauté des scientifiques du climat, qui peut être basée sur le concept du climat. On a résumé des différentes définitions, qui commencent avec les grèques classiques, où le climat a une haute variabilité naturelle qu'on doit trouver aussi dans le concept derivé du changement climatique. Si la variabilité naturelle du climat n'est pas clarifiée, le changement du climat le sera moins.

Fuero y jurisdicción alfonsinos en la génesis de municipios valencianos
Authors: Gil Olcina Antonio
Published: July 2018

Acordado y otorgado en las Cortes valencianas de 1329, el Fuero Alfonsino, que creó la jurisdicción de igual nombre, tuvo vigencia durante más de cuatrocientos años, al ser el único de los Furs reinstaurado, en 1772, tras la abolición general de 1707. Auspició la fundación o el fortalecimiento de multitud de lugares e, incluso, la segregación de algunas universidades. Por todo ello constituye referencia obligada y de primer orden a la hora de interpretar el poblamiento, red municipal y organización administrativa del territorio valenciano.

[fr] Approuvé et concédé par les Cours valenciennes de 1329, le «Fuero alfonsino », à l'origine de la jurisdiction du même nom, est resté en vigueur durant plus de quatre cents ans, étans le seul «Fur» restauré en 1772 après l'abolition générale de 1707. Il a protégé la fondation ou le reforcement d'une multitude de localités, ainsi que la ségrégation de certaines universités. Voilà pourquoi il constitue una référence obligatoire et de premier ordre pour interpréter le peuplement, le réseau municipal et l'organisation administrative du territoire valencien.
L’Alexandra de Lycophron en dialogue avec Pindare ?
Authors: Kolde Antje
Published: July 2018

L’article s’inscrit dans le sillage d’une communication qui posait la question de savoir si l’Alexandra de Lycophron pouvait être considérée comme une parodie des genres épique et tragique. Reprenant les conclusions de cette étude et élargissant le questionnement à la poésie lyrique, il propose une réflexion qui porte sur le lien entre l’Alexandra et la poésie pindarique, envisagé d’abord dans les grandes lignes, puis à travers l’analyse de quelques passages précis.
The Three Preoccupations of Simias of Rhodes
Authors: Kwapisz Jan
Published: July 2018

The present discussion reconsiders the extant poetic and grammatical fragments of Simias of Rhodes in an attempt to point out his main preoccupations and, as a consequence, to sketch his intellectual profile. His interest in philology manifests itself not only in his grammatical fragments—which suggest that his lexicographical technique, albeit rather rudimentary, was of distinct character—but also, on a more sophisticated level and in accord with the practice of later poets, in his poetic works. Further attention is devoted to his well-known penchant for formal experimentalism, both in the field of metre and wordplay. Finally, it is argued that the marked presence of the fantastic element was a defining trait of his poetry. One of the most notable manifestations of his predilection for the eerie and the uncanny is his obsession with the paradoxes of the voice, speech and communication of humans, animals and fantastic creatures.
Callimachus, Hymn 2 and the Genre of Paean
Authors: Lightfoot J. L.
Published: July 2018

The essay considers the affiliations of Callimachus’ second Hymn with the paean. Formal features are important in the reworking of the genre, as is to be expected from a composition by a Hellenistic poet, but Callimachus has also remained faithful to what we can discern of its wider associations, broad as these were. This can be seen in the concern with the identities of deity (Carneian Apollo), worshippers (a group of young men on the verge of maturity), and community (the historical foundation of Cyrene). But while Hymn 2 seems to retain much of the sensibility of the paean (as evidenced by Pindar, Pythian 5 as well as the paeans proper), it is hard to find any such fidelity to a recognisable archaic genre in either of the other so-called “mimetic” hymns; the use of a single label diverts attention from the very different ways in which Callimachean “mimesis” works. Given these differences, it is worth enquiring further into the, presumably authorial, arrangement of the collection as a whole.
