APPLICATION OF MODERN WAREHOUSE TECHNOLOGY IN THE SLOVENIAN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
Authors: Škerlič Sebastjan , Muha Robert , Sokolovskij Edgar
Published: December 2017

The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the usefulness and reliability of modern warehouse technology for suppliers in the automotive industry and to identify the potential causes preventing it from being used more in practice. In recent years, we have seen great progress made in the development of modern warehouse solutions, as well as a dramatic rise in research on the issues related to the introduction of modern technology and interaction between operators and automation. However, a look at some of the existing studies on the usefulness of the use of modern technology reveals that their conclusions are often contradictory. The results of statistical analysis of Slovenian companies that operate as suppliers in the international automotive industry show that modern warehousing technology is reliable and safe to use, but more than 60% of companies fail to take advantage of its benefits. These companies are also using basic warehouse technology, despite the fact that such technology does not ensure a sense of safety in the warehouse. In the medium term, this could put them at a disadvantage against competitors in the demanding sector of the automotive industry. The results of the study provide additional starting points for understanding human use of modern warehouse technology, which can lead to improvements in how warehouse systems are designed, more effective employee training methods and a reasonable and balanced policy for the automation of the warehousing processes.
Heurs et malheurs de l’histoire universelle
Authors: Dogan Salih
Published: December 2017

De l’effervescence intellectuelle qu’a connue le xix e , les philosophies sociales de Comte, Spencer et Cournot avaient toutes en commun de proposer une classification sur le modèle des sciences de la nature. Ces trois œuvres ont marqué, de leur esprit encyclopédique, l’acte fondateur des sciences sociales en même temps qu’ils ont fourni un cadre général permettant à la fois de dépasser les limites de la sociologie actuelle et de penser de manière globale le devenir des sociétés. Le rejet des philosophies de l’histoire au xx e siècle a fait perdre de vue ce que ces synthèses – ainsi que les classifications à travers elles –, permettaient lorsqu’elles coordonnaient plusieurs processus afin de rendre l’histoire intelligible. L’émergence de cette « philosophie de l’histoire universelle » ne correspondait certes pas à une histoire universelle à la manière des anciennes chroniques, ni à l’image de l’« histoire mondiale » actuelle mais dans la mesure où elle fournissait des schèmes de pensée, nous tenterons de montrer qu’elle permettait d’ordonnancer le fait social au sein de sa matrice historique.
Lire la réforme sociale en France (1864) de Le Play
Authors: Savoye Antoine
Published: December 2017

La méthode de science sociale que Le Play, prolongeant ses Ouvriers européens (1855), met en œuvre dans La Réforme sociale en France , est restée largement incomprise de ses contemporains. Cette incompréhension n’a pas été levée par la sociologie moderne qui s’est désintéressée de l’ouvrage, l’excluant même de son corpus de référence. (Re)visiter, aujourd’hui, La Réforme sociale en France éclaire la double histoire de la science sociale et de la sociologie. Sa lecture permet aussi de penser quelques uns des enjeux actuels, théoriques et pratiques, de la sociologie.
Inventorier et inventer la société. Constantin Pecqueur (1801-1887) : expertise sociale et processus de socialisation
Authors: Coste Clément
Published: December 2017

Le premier socialisme se confond avec la naissance d’une pré-sociologie, physiologie, physique ou « science sociale ». Ses représentants éminents sont souvent désignés comme étant Saint-Simon, Auguste Comte et Philippe Buchez, via la diffusion du journal Le Producteur . La volonté d’opérer le passage de la physiologie individuelle à la physiologie sociale est en effet une caractéristique essentielle du saint-simonisme. Parmi les jeunes saint-simoniens du moment 1825-1832 figure le méconnu Constantin Pecqueur (1801-1887). S’il ne fréquente pas longtemps la famille saint-simonienne, lui reprochant en particulier son aporie politique, l’œuvre postérieure de Pecqueur témoigne d’une volonté évidente de s’inscrire dans ce mouvement d’édification d’une science sociale capable de rivaliser avec l’économie politique. À l’image de toute cette tradition émergente, l’œuvre de Pecqueur ne respecte pas la séparation entre connaissance et pratique , science et politique . Au contraire, elle témoigne d’une volonté d’élaborer un système de connaissances sur la société qui soit capable de nourrir un projet politique. Comprendre la société du xix e   siècle permet de « spéculer » son avenir, rêver cet avenir permet de rénover son actualité.
La représentation disciplinaire du « social » dans les références et les lectures du jeune Durkheim (1879-1894)
Authors: Béra Matthieu
Published: December 2017

La recherche des sources et des influences se fait le plus souvent par auteur et nécessite une grande érudition spécialisée. On propose ici de considérer non plus les influences singulières ou auctoriales, mais disciplinaires et collectives, prises et reçues par le jeune Durkheim (1879-1894). Nous avons tenté, en nous calant sur ses propres récits rétrospectifs de l’histoire de la sociologie, de présenter cette dernière comme une synthèse des différentes disciplines qu’il s’était appliqué à connaître pour les mettre ensemble. Notre corpus est constitué par ces récits rétrospectifs (1887-1915), mais aussi par les références de ses publications jusqu’au Règles (essentiellement celle contenue dans sa thèse de 1893), et par ses lectures, quand elles ont laissé des traces de ses passages dans plusieurs bibliothèques publiques où il travailla entre 1879 et 1894 (à l’ENS, Sens, Troyes, Bordeaux).

Cette introduction rappelle les différentes étapes de la diffusion en France des idées de Franz Brentano : d’abord reconnue, notamment dans la Revue philosophique de Ribot, pour ses contributions psychologiques, l’œuvre de Brentano a trouvé un écho dans les écrits de son beau-frère, le sociologue et philosophe Théophile Funck-Brentano. Le rôle joué dans ce processus par Étienne et Lucie Gilson est aussi mis en lumière.

A Novel Technique to Repair Acute and Chronic Proximal Hamstring Avulsions
Authors: Cain Michael T. , Jones Matthew C. , Reed Dale N.
Published: December 2017

Treatment of proximal hamstring avulsions is challenging regarding both timing and choice of repair. In chronic situations, the tissue can become attenuated, bringing into question the need for adjunctive allograft. In general, proximal hamstring avulsions are affixed back to the ischial tuberosity with suture anchors, with allograft used as needed for chronic situations. This article reports on a novel technique of suspensory fixation with a unicortical button but without allograft to repair both acute and chronic proximal hamstring avulsions. Three patients, all of whom regained full strength and functionality 1 year postoperatively, are described. [

A Capabilities Approach to Environmental Impact on Nursing Home Resident Quality of Life
Authors: Thurman Whitney , Harrison Tracie C. , Blozis Shelley A. , Dionne-Vahalik Michelle , Mead Sharilyn
Published: December 2017

Nursing homes are the major provider of intermediate and long-term care outside of the hospital setting to individuals whose capacity for self-care is limited due to physical or cognitive impairments. Yet, despite their need for assistance, residents of nursing homes want to control their lives, set their routines, and do enjoyable things. The extent to which residents can maintain autonomy and dignity is important. The current study suggests an environmental gerontological framework, rooted in a capabilities approach, that can be used to consider environmental impact on quality of life in nursing homes. Using a cross-sectional survey of nursing home residents in Texas, environmental factors that might predict residents' quality of life as well as possible interactions of environmental factors and residents' characteristics that might predict well-being were examined. Environmental orientation and perception of social activities were important predictors of residents' quality of life, but geographic location and facility size were not important predictors.

La educación de la mirada escrutadora en Jorge Oteiza: “naturaleza, arte y espiritualidad”
Authors: Echarri Iribarren Fernando , Varela Froján Emilio
Published: December 2017

La realidad que nos muestra la naturaleza posee múltiples mensajes. Estos mensajes se comunican continuamente con el individuo estableciéndose un vínculo persona-naturaleza. Este vínculo puede ser representado y estudiado mediante el hecho artístico o creativo. El presente artículo muestra algunas de las múltiples conexiones que se establecen entre la naturaleza y las personas, incorporando una dimensión estética de la realidad y una dimensión metafísica. Como ejemplo sincrético de un proceso naturaleza-realidad, estética-arte y trascendencia-espiritualidad, se destaca el caso del escultor Jorge Oteiza. En concreto se estudia la conceptualización de su obra, de forma sintética, a través de su relación y experiencias significativas de vida (SLE) con la naturaleza, expresada en su pensamiento estético y representada en su obra artística.

Epilithic diatoms (Bacillariophyceae) from running watersin NW Iberian Peninsula (Galicia, Spain)
Authors: Leira Manel , López-Rodríguez María del Carmen , Carballeira Rafael
Published: December 2017

A catalog of Bacillariophyceae for the rivers of NW of Spain is made for the first time. It includes a re-examination of the taxa reported in previous publications, taxa cited during the last years of the rivers of the Galicia-Costa Hydrographic Demarcation, and a revision of the taxonomy, in line with the systematic and nomenclature changes, which have occurred mainly in recent years. The epilethic diatoms of the river basins of Galicia-Costa were sampled during the years 2005, 2006, and 2007, in May-June and September. The study was carried out in 41 localities distributed along 31 rivers, samples were taken in upstream and downstream sections. Diatom communities were compared in all upstream sections of these rivers draining from siliceous substrates. We identified 141 taxa of diatoms from the coast of Galicia. In this paper we present 15 new citations for Galicia, two for Spain and three for the Iberian Peninsula, in addition to a new species recently described. The dominant taxa are: Achnanthidium minutissimum, Achnanthes subhudsonis, Karayevia oblongella, Cocconeis placentula var. euglypta, Gomphonema rhombicum, and Navicula minima. Achnanthes subhudsonis was the most abundant species during the spring and summer months. The remaining species showed no relevant changes regardless of the time of year. The results indicate that the river diatoms of Galicia are an important component of the diversity of the ecosystem.
Performance of an Ocean Buoyancy Glider in a Coastal Region: Application to the Gulf of Mexico Hypoxic Zone
Authors: Ramey Elizabeth , DiMarco Steven F. , Dreger Karen , Zimmerle Heather M.
Published: December 2017

AbstractThe Gulf of Mexico Coastal Hypoxia Glider Experiment was designed to assess the feasibility of using ocean glider technology in the coastal hypoxic zone of the northern Gulf of Mexico in Summer/Fall 2014. The objectives were (1) to coordinate and operate multiple
autonomous buoyancy ocean gliders in depths less than 50 m and (2) to determine how close to the bottom gliders can reliably reach without making contact. Strong vertical and horizontal stratification gradients, strong coastal currents, and the low-oxygen conditions that occur within
the lower water column characterize the coastal area of the northern Gulf of Mexico. These environmental conditions combine with the presence of more than 5,000 surface piercing oil/gas structures to make piloting and navigation in the region challenging. We quantify glider performance to
assess the usefulness of buoyancy gliders to address the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Action Plan goal to monitor the spatial extent, duration, and severity of the Gulf hypoxic zone. We find that the gliders, despite the operational challenges, were consistently able to
travel from the surface to the oxygen-depleted depths of subpycnocline waters, that is, within 2 m of the ocean bottom. Our assessment is that gliders are able to provide real-time observations suitable to monitor coastal hypoxia.
Implementing a Multicomponent Intervention to Prevent Delirium Among Critically Ill Patients
Authors: Martínez Felipe , Donoso Ana María , Marquez Carla , Labarca Eduardo
Published: December 2017

BACKGROUND

Delirium is common among the critically ill. Nonpharmacologic interventions are reportedly effective in reducing incident delirium, but limited data specific to this population exist.

OBJECTIVES

To assess the efficacy and describe the implementation strategy of a multicomponent intervention to prevent delirium in an intensive care unit.

METHODS

A before-and-after study was conducted in an intensive care unit between May 2014 through August 2015. Adult participants were enrolled consecutively, excluding only those who refused to participate. Tailored interventions took available evidence into consideration. Components included early mobilization, physical therapy, reorientation, cognitive stimulation, drug reviews, environmental stimulation, avoidance of sensory deprivation, pain control, restraint use avoidance, and family participation. Incident delirium was assessed twice daily using the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit. Multivariate logistic regression was used to control for confounders.

RESULTS

The study included 227 patients (54.7% male; mean [SD] age, 63.3 [18.3] years). Our strategy significantly reduced delirium (from 38% to 24%; relative risk, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.40–0.94; P = .02), an association that remained significant after adjusting for confounders. Adherence rates were more than 85% in all intervention domains (except daily reorientation) that were overseen by health care providers.

CONCLUSIONs

The strategy was successful in reducing delirium. Self-removals of invasive implements decreased, an observation that has not been previously described. No difference in mortality rate was seen, as has been reported in other studies. Early participation of the whole team, shared leadership, and the provision of concrete tasks were key to the success of this multicomponent intervention.
Loss of amplitude of accommodation in pre-presbyopic HIV and AIDS patients under treatment with antiretrovirals
Authors: Mathebula Solani D. , Makunyane Prisilla S.
Published: December 2017

Background: The prevalence of HIV and AIDS is causing an enormous public health burden. Its manifestations spare no organ. Ocular complications are mainly attributed to various opportunistic infections which are directly or indirectly caused by immune deficiency.Purpose and aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of HIV and AIDS on subjective amplitude of accommodation of patients under treatment with antiretrovirals and then to compare their results to those of control subjects.Methods: The study took place over a period of 10 months. A quantitative study was carried out on 58 subjects (29 ± 5.5 years) with HIV and AIDS and 35 (28.67 ± 4.6 years) controls of similar age. Amplitude of accommodation was measured using the subjective Royal Air Force push-up method. The influence of CD4+ cell count was also recorded.Results: People with HIV and AIDS had lower mean amplitude of accommodation (5.69 ± 0.88 D) compared to controls (8.53 ± 1.2 D). The decrease in amplitude of accommodation did not show any correlation with the CD4+ cell count. Lower amplitude of accommodation exists in people living with HIV and AIDS when compared with age-related healthy people.Conclusion: The results suggest that patients with HIV and AIDS on antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) have reduced amplitude of accommodation and might experience presbyopia earlier in life than participants without HIV and AIDS. The reduced amplitude of accommodation could be the initial presentation of HIV infection before the systemic manifestation. The possible causes could be the direct neuronal infection by HIV-1, ARVs use, pathological changes of the lens and ciliary muscle or the sensory component of the visual system. It is unknown whether the reduced amplitude of accommodation occurred prior to antiretroviral therapy or represents an ongoing injury to the eye and visual system by the HIV.
Sōteria [salvation] in Christianity and Ụbandu [wholeness] in Igbo traditional religion: Towards a renewed understanding
Authors: Ngele Omaka K. , Uwaegbute Kingsley I. , Odo Damian O. , Agbo Paulinus O.
Published: December 2017

This study affirmed the fact that there is the idea of salvation in all religions whether revealed or indigenous. This applies categorically to Christianity and Igbo traditional religion (ITR). The basis for this comparative study of sōteria [salvation] and ụbandu [wholeness] in both Christianity and ITR is to juxtapose the two religions’ intrinsic value and distinctive heritage for wider readership and shared knowledge. The aim of this study is to carry out a critical comparative study of the concepts of sōteria and ụbandu in both Christianity and ITR locating their nexus and point of departure. This study is therefore comparative in approach. The methodology applied to this effect is, firstly, the lexical analysis which involves a critical study of the uses of sōteria in the New Testament Greek Bible. Secondly, in the context of ITR, our discussions on ubandu and sōteria as form and expression of doctrine of salvation call for the application of a phenomenological lens; through this, we used oral interviews as source of primary data. This study discovered that both Christianity and ITR define soteria and ubandu from a physical standpoint to include God’s providence, protection and preservation. It is on eschatological experience of sōteria and ụbandu that both religions have points of nexus and divergences. It deciphers the fact that eschatological experience of sōteria in Christianity is highly dependent on the belief in Jesus and his mediatory role which can be either accepted or refused by humans. Eschatological experience of ubandu in ITR is ancestorhood which is highly dependent on the use of coercive force through the enforcement of omenala [Igbo moral codes] in ensuring its experience on the part of practitioners when they transit to the ancestral world.

Authors: Rego Guilherme Ferreira , Schneider Luis Felipe Jochims , Vianna-de-Pinho Marcos Gabriel , Vidal Marina Lermenn , Alonso Roberta Caroline Bruschi , Cavalcante Larissa Maria
Published: December 2017

Aim

The aim of this study was to compare the restorative time required and the internal adaptation after thermomechanical aging of class I restorations using either the conventional incremental technique or bulk-fill technique.

Materials and methods

Cavities (Class I) were prepared on the occlusal surface of human third molars. 40 teeth were divided into four experimental groups according to the restorative technique (n = 10): G1 = 3 mm increment of Surefill SDR Flow + 1 mm Filtek P60; G2 = 3 mm increment of Filtek Bulk-Fill + 1 mm Filtek P60; G3 = Filtek P60 inserted with incremental technique; G4 = 3 mm increment of Filtek Z350 Flow XT + 1 mm increment of Filtek P60. The required restorative clinical time for each technique was marked. Specimens were submitted to thermomechanical loading (20,000 mechanical cycles—80 N/thermal cycling—5/55°C for 30 seconds). After, samples were sectioned, ratio of internal gaps to interface length (%) was recorded using dye-staining-gap technique. Data were submitted to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's test (95% significance).

Results

There was no significant difference in gap formation and none of the groups was completely gap-free. However, a significant reduction on required restorative clinical time was observed for G1 (167 ± 7 seconds), G2 (169 ± 4 seconds), and G4 (169 ± 8 seconds) when compared with G3 (204 ± 8 seconds).

Conclusion

No significant difference in gap formation was found among bulk-fill and conventional incremental restorative technique tested; however, the use of a bulk-fill composite reduced 20% of the required restorative clinical time.

Clinical significance

None of the restorative techniques applied were able to prevent internal gap formation. The use of bulk-fill composite reduced the required clinical time to perform class I restorations.

In vitro Assessment of Influence of Various Bleaching Protocols on the Strength of Ceramic Orthodontic Brackets bonded to Bleached Tooth Surface: A Comparative Study
Authors: Goutam Manish , Iska Divya , Singh Madhvi , Chitumalla Rajkiran , Balasubramanian Sai C Bala
Published: December 2017

Introduction

Esthetics is one of the common issues because of which patients consult dental orthodontic treatment. Two ways of tooth bleaching are available these days, which includes in-office bleach and home bleach. Various bleaching protocols are available these days for treating the tooth surfaces. Hence, we planned the present study for investigating the impact of various intracoronal bleaching protocols on shear bond strength of ceramic brackets bonded to tooth surface after bleaching.

Materials and methods

The present study included assessment of 100 extracted maxillary central incisors with the integrated buccal surface. A resin block was made and individual teeth were embedded in each block. Root canal therapy procedure was performed in all the teeth, after which 2 mm short of tooth apex up to the level of cementoenamel junction, removal of the root canal filling was done. All the samples were broadly divided into four study groups with 25 samples in each group. Bleaching procedure was carried in all the samples intracoronally followed by testing of shear bond strength using universal force testing machine. Following the modified adhesive remnant index (AI), assessment of remaining adhesive on the brackets was done. All the results were compiled and analyzed by Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 17.0.

Results

In the control group, mean shear bond strength was found to be 17.9 MPa. While comparing the carbamide peroxide (CP) group with sodium perborate study group, we observed a statistically significant difference. Nonsignificant results were obtained while comparing the shear bond strength in between sodium perborate group and hydrogen peroxide (HP) group.

Conclusion

Intracoronal bleaching does affect the shear bond strength of ceramic brackets. Sodium perborate bleaching influences shear bond strength more strongly than other bleaching agents such as CP and HP.

Clinical significance

In patients undergoing orthodontic treatment, HP is a preferred agent where bleaching has to be followed by orthodontic bonding to the tooth surface.

Published: December 2017

ABSTRACTO

El 80-90% de los cuerpos extraños ingeridos voluntaria o accidentalmente se evacuan espontáneamente, sin embargo se requiere de una endoscopia terapéutica en un 10-20% de los casos y de cirugía en menos del 1% de los mismos.

Objetivo

Analizar las características de los pacientes asistidos por ingesta de cuerpo extraño en el Departamento de Emergencia del Hospital Maciel y llegar al diseño de guías de actuación en el contexto de un equipo multidisciplinario.

Resultados

Nuestra serie constó de 31 consultas por ingesta de cuerpo extraño. El 52% provenía de instituciones psiquiátricas y el 42% eran reclusos, un caso no pertenecía a ninguna de las 2 categorías. El 27,5% de las consulta se habían producido en las primeras 24hs desde la ingesta, el 24% de las ingestas se habían producido con más de una semana desde la ingesta y el resto oscilaba entra ambos tiempos evolutivos En cuanto a la conducta, en 12 casos se otorgó el alta sin mediar conducta activa endoscópica y/o quirúrgica. Se realizó una FGC en el 64% de los casos en los cuales se constató radiológicamente la ingesta de un cuerpo extraño, siendo efectivamente terapéuticas para la extracción de objetos a nivel gastroduodenal en el 67% de las mismas. De las 28 consultas por ingesta de CE 6 pacientes (21%) fueron operados. En 5 de ellos por falla de la extracción endoscópica, el restante se presentó como una peritonitis aguda. La ingesta de CE representa una patología de consulta frecuente en el Departamento de Emergencia. El manejo del mismo se realiza mediante un abordaje multidisciplinario que en el caso de nuestra serie mostró porcentajes de extracción endoscópica efectiva cercana al 70% comparable con otras series internacionales. El análisis de las características de la población analizada y el análisis de la evidencia científica publicada nos permite plantear un protocolo de actuación.

The onward migration of North Korean refugees to Australia: in search of cosmopolitan habitus
Authors: Jung Kyungja , Dalton Bronwen , Willis Jacqueline
Published: December 2017

Based on assumed common ethnicity, language and culture, South Korea is believed to be the best country for North Korean defectors to restart their lives. This is, however, not necessarily the case. Since the mid-2000s, 2000 to 3000 North Koreans have allegedly settled in the UK, Canada, the US, Australia and EU countries. Despite this trend and its broader implications, the onward migration process of North Korean refugees, together with their motivations and lived experiences, remain poorly addressed in academic research. Drawing from the unique experience of North Korean refugees’ onward movement to Australia, the paper suggests that discarding a North Korean identity and habitus and gaining cosmopolitan habitus are the main reasons behind North Korean defectors’ onward migration. The paper is the first empirical study on North Korean refugees resettled in Australia to adopt habitus as a theoretical framework, and thus provides new insight into migration studies.
Citizenhood: Rethinking Multicultural Citizenship
Authors: Keynan Irit
Published: December 2017

In its comprehensive meaning, citizenship should ideally bestow a sense of belonging in the large social group, as well as a stake in the state's cultural, political and economic life, topped by a sense of solidarity, which transcends ethno-religious differences. Unfortunately, many nation states fail these tasks and not all of their citizens are offered such an embracing welcome. Because of the massive immigrations of the last decades this difficulty has intensified and many states struggle with the problem of maintaining a sense of belonging of its citizens with the state. This article proposes a named new concept, “Citizenhood”, which may provide a better way to reconcile ideas of cultural and social rights with the idea of citizenship in contemporary multicultural liberal and democratic nation states. In particular, the new concept strives to alleviate the situation of groups upon whom citizenship does not confer the sense of 'being at home'. Improving the feelings of these groups is important not only for their own well-being, but for the state as well, since their feeling of alienation from the community at large weakens social cohesion and may fuel continuous tensions. Scholars have suggested different alternatives to overcome these difficulties but a solution is not yet in sight. This paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of previous suggestions and elaborates on the benefits of the proposed new concept.

Abstract. Ground-based multi-axis differential optical absorption spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) and lidar measurements were performed in Shanghai, China, during May 2016 to investigate the vertical distribution of summertime atmospheric pollutants. In this study, vertical profiles of aerosol extinction coefficient, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and formaldehyde (HCHO) concentrations were retrieved from MAX-DOAS measurements using the Heidelberg Profile (HEIPRO) algorithm, while vertical distribution of ozone (O3) was obtained from an ozone lidar. Sensitivity study of the MAX-DOAS aerosol profile retrieval shows that the a priori aerosol profile shape has significant influences on the aerosol profile retrieval. Aerosol profiles retrieved from MAX-DOAS measurements with Gaussian a priori profile demonstrate the best agreements with simultaneous lidar measurements and vehicle-based tethered-balloon observations among all a priori aerosol profiles. Tropospheric NO2 vertical column densities (VCDs) measured with MAX-DOAS show a good agreement with OMI satellite observations with a Pearson correlation coefficient (R) of 0.95. In addition, measurements of the O3 vertical distribution indicate that the ozone productions do not only occur at surface level but also at higher altitudes (about 1.1 km). Planetary boundary layer (PBL) height and horizontal and vertical wind field information were integrated to discuss the ozone formation at upper altitudes. The results reveal that enhanced ozone concentrations at ground level and upper altitudes are not directly related to horizontal and vertical transportation. Similar patterns of O3 and HCHO vertical distributions were observed during this campaign, which implies that the ozone productions near the surface and at higher altitudes are mainly influenced by the abundance of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the lower troposphere.
Using depolarization to quantify ice nucleating particle concentrations: a new method
Authors: Zenker Jake , Collier Kristen N. , Xu Guanglang , Yang Ping , Levin Ezra J. T. , Suski Kaitlyn J. , DeMott Paul J. , Brooks Sarah D.
Published: December 2017

Abstract. We have developed a new method to determine ice nucleating particle (INP) concentrations observed by the Texas A&M University continuous flow diffusion chamber (CFDC) under a wide range of operating conditions. In this study, we evaluate differences in particle optical properties detected by the Cloud and Aerosol Spectrometer with POLarization (CASPOL) to differentiate between ice crystals, droplets, and aerosols. The depolarization signal from the CASPOL instrument is used to determine the occurrence of water droplet breakthrough (WDBT) conditions in the CFDC. The standard procedure for determining INP concentration is to count all particles that have grown beyond a nominal size cutoff as ice crystals. During WDBT this procedure overestimates INP concentration, because large droplets are miscounted as ice crystals. Here we design a new analysis method based on depolarization ratio that can extend the range of operating conditions of the CFDC. The method agrees reasonably well with the traditional method under non-WDBT conditions with a mean percent error of ±32.1 %. Additionally, a comparison with the Colorado State University CFDC shows that the new analysis method can be used reliably during WDBT conditions.

Abstract. Forest plantations have been widely used as an effective measure for increasing soil carbon (C), and nitrogen (N) stocks and soil enzyme activities play a key role in soil C and N losses during decomposition of soil organic matter. However, few studies have been carried out to elucidate the mechanisms behind the differences in soil C and N cycling by different tree species in response to climate warming. Here, we measured the responses of soil's extracellular enzyme activity (EEA) to a gradient of temperatures using incubation methods in 78-year-old forest plantations with different tree species. Based on a soil enzyme kinetics model, we established a new statistical model to investigate the effects of temperature and tree species on soil EEA. In addition, we established a tree species–enzyme–C∕N model to investigate how temperature and tree species influence soil C∕N contents over time without considering plant C inputs. These extracellular enzymes included C acquisition enzymes (β-glucosidase, BG), N acquisition enzymes (N-acetylglucosaminidase, NAG; leucine aminopeptidase, LAP) and phosphorus acquisition enzymes (acid phosphatases). The results showed that incubation temperature and tree species significantly influenced all soil EEA and Eucalyptus had 1.01–2.86 times higher soil EEA than coniferous tree species. Modeling showed that Eucalyptus had larger soil C losses but had 0.99–2.38 times longer soil C residence time than the coniferous tree species over time. The differences in the residual soil C and N contents between Eucalyptus and coniferous tree species, as well as between slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm. var. elliottii) and hoop pine (Araucaria cunninghamii Ait.), increase with time. On the other hand, the modeling results help explain why exotic slash pine can grow faster, as it has 1.22–1.38 times longer residual soil N residence time for LAP, which mediate soil N cycling in the long term, than native coniferous tree species like hoop pine and kauri pine (Agathis robusta C. Moore). Our results will be helpful for understanding the mechanisms of soil C and N cycling by different tree species, which will have implications for forest management.

Abstract. The transforming relationship between surface water and groundwater as well as their origins are the basis for studying the transport of pollutants in river-groundwater systems. A typical section of the river was chosen to sample the surface water and shallow groundwater. Then, a Piper trilinear diagram, Gibbs diagram, ratios of major ions, factor analysis, cluster analysis and other methods were used to investigate the hydrogeochemical evolution of surface water and groundwater and determine the formation of hydrogeochemical components in different water bodies. Based on the distribution characteristics of hydrogen and oxygen stable isotopes δD and δ18O and discharge hydrograph separation methods, the relationship between surface water and groundwater in the Weihe River was analyzed. The results indicated that the river water is a SO4·Cl—Na type and that the groundwater hydrogeochemical types are not the same. The dominant anions are HCO3− in the upstream reaches and are SO42− and Cl− in downstream reaches. Hydrogeochemical processes include evaporation and concentration, weathering of rocks, ion exchange, and dissolution infiltration reactions. The δD and δ18O of surface water change little along the river and are more enriched than are those of the groundwater. With the influences of precipitation, irrigation, river recharge and evaporation, the δD and δ18O of shallow groundwater at different sections are not the same. There is a close relationship between the surface water and groundwater. Surface water supplies the groundwater, which provides the hydrodynamic conditions for the entry of pollutants into the aquifer.
Multi-year analysis of distributed glacier mass balance modelling
and equilibrium line altitude on King George Island, Antarctic
Peninsula

Abstract. The South Shetland Islands are located at the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula (AP). This region was subject to strong warming trends in the atmospheric surface layer. Surface air temperature increased about 3 K in 50 years, concurrent with retreating glacier fronts, an increase in melt areas, ice surface lowering and rapid break-up and disintegration of ice shelves. The positive trend in surface air temperature has currently come to a halt. Observed surface air temperature lapse rates show a high variability during winter months (standard deviations up to −1 K/100 m), and a distinct spatial heterogeneity reflecting the impact of synoptic weather patterns. The increased mesocyclonic activity during the winter time over the past decades in the study area results in intensified advection of warm, moist air with high temperatures and rain, and leads to melt conditions on the ice cap, fixating surface air temperatures to the melting point. Its impact on winter accumulation results in the observed negative mass balance estimates. Six years of continuous glaciological measurements on mass balance stake transects as well as five years of climatological data time series are presented and a spatially distributed glacier energy balance melt model adapted and run based on these multi-year data sets. The glaciological surface mass balance model is generally in good agreement with observations, except for atmospheric conditions promoting snow drift by high wind speeds, turbulence-driven snow deposition and snow layer erosion by rain. No drift can be seen over the course of the 5-year model run period. The winter accumulation does not suffice to compensate for the high variability in summer ablation. The results are analysed to assess changes in melt water input to the coastal waters, specific glacier mass balance and the equilibrium line altitude. The Fourcade Glacier catchment drains into Potter cove, has an area of 23.6 km2 and is to 93.8 % glacierized. Annual discharge from Fourcade Glacier into Potter Cove is estimated to q = 25 ± 6 hm3 per year with the standard deviation of 8% annotating the high interannual variability. The average equilibrium line altitude (ELA) calculated from own glaciological observations on Fourcade Glacier over the time period 2010 to 2015 amounts to ELA = 260 ± 20 m. Published studies suggest rather stable conditions of slightly negative glacier mass balance until the mid 80's with an ELA of approx. 150 m. The calculated accumulation area ratio suggests dramatic changes in the future extent of the inland ice cap for the South Shetland Islands.
Money, Relativism, and the Post-Truth Political Imaginary
Authors: Goodstein Elizabeth S.
Published: December 2017

Walter Benjamin's warning against unphilosophical “astonishment that the things we are experiencing are ‘still’ possible” has new urgency in the face of real estate developer and reality-show host Donald Trump's surprise victory in the presidential election of 2016. Philosopher, sociologist, and cultural theorist Georg Simmel's 1900 magnum opus, the Philosophy of Money, provides valuable orientation at a moment when the expectation that public discourse must be oriented by norms of truth and accuracy is under siege—not least by those who ascended to power openly denigrating the value of expertise and the specialized knowledge long regarded as essential to modern government. Trump has an instinctive grasp of Simmel's decisive insight that “money is the strongest and most immediate symbol” of the cynical truism that “the only absolute is the relativity of things.” Situating philosophy at the limits of disciplinary ways of knowing, the Philosophy of Money develops a modernist, performative strategy of thought that turns relativity into a philosophical resource. It can help us to counter the dissolution of the ideal of veracity in an era of absolutized marketing by disentangling thought from narratives of rational progress that obscure its opposite and interrogating the limitations of the professionalized ordering of knowledge practices in which expertise continues to be produced and maintained. Simmel's strategy for embracing the fragmentation, multiplicity, and uncertainty of human experience may thereby help us address the complexity and ambiguity of a historical situation growing increasingly surreal as techno-scientific progress goes hand in hand with post-truth politics.
Feminist Critique and the Realistic Spirit
Authors: Zerilli Linda M. G.
Published: December 2017

Contemporary debates over the future of critique, feminist or otherwise, tend to neglect if not perpetuate a reliance on the philosophical tradition, with its disdain for the contingent and indifference to local audiences. If critique is to be realistic, as distinguished from realist or antirealist as the philosophical tradition has defined those terms, it must begin by clarifying the nature and extent of this reliance and begin to develop alternatives. Such an idea of critique would begin by questioning received notions of the relationship between theory and practice, which I argue are unduly inflected by philosophical prejudices. Theory should not be understood as a primarily epistemological or methodological enterprise whose task is to justify the basis of critique. Instead, theory should be conceived, with the rhetorical tradition, as a world-creating, first-order practice that gives meaning and significance to the human commons.
Grace Gilchrist's Childish Jealousy and Bernard Shaw's Idiotic Thoughtlessness
Authors: Hellman Jesse M.
Published: December 2017

Grace Gilchrist was one of the young women whom Bernard Shaw knew and befriended in the 1880s. What is known of her comes mostly from Shaw's Diary and a few letters, and pertains to the jealousy she showed in regard to other young women in their circle. Shaw could stir up jealousy while at the same time think of himself as innocent. This article shows that in Grace he had met someone particularly susceptible, as can be seen through her own history as well as that of her family. Grace, her mother, and Walt Whitman may have even played some part in Shaw's inspiration for Man and Superman.
Postsecondary Transition Programs for Underprepared Writers
Authors: Antonetti Christine Marie
Published: December 2017

There is a large population of students who enter postsecondary institutions underprepared in the area of writing,which can negatively affect their academic success in various disciplines. Lack of alignment between secondary andpostsecondary education writing curricula is a common cause of why students are underprepared in writing.Identifying gaps in writing when transitioning from secondary to postsecondary institutions is critical in creatingappropriate writing support programs which better prepare students for academic success. Moreover, in order tofacilitate successful postsecondary writing outcomes, proactive writing interventions (transition programs) betweensecondary and postsecondary institutions can be implemented to generate a positive impact on students’ ability towrite, thereby leading to greater academic success.
