Mimesis et filiation artistique : la question du style de Lysippe et de ses disciples dans l’épigramme 62 A.‑B. de Posidippe et chez Pline l’Ancien (NH 34, 66)
Authors: Prioux Évelyne , Santin Eleonora
Published: March 2017

Par cet article nous souhaitons examiner, à travers le cas particulier de Lysippe, le processus d’élaboration de la notion de filiation artistique dans la critique d’art ancienne. Il s’agira notamment de voir comment les théoriciens du début de l’époque hellénistique ont envisagé les rapports d’imitation entre Lysippe et ses disciples, ainsi que les phénomènes de continuité ou de discontinuité stylistique entre le maître et ses successeurs. Le point de départ de cette étude est la première épigramme du cycle des andriantopoiika de Posidippe, dont nous souhaitons mettre en évidence les liens avec des théories probablement exposées dans les traités contemporains de Douris de Samos et de Xénocrate d’Athènes. Cette épigramme mentionne trois artistes « anciens » (peut-être trois générations d’artistes : maître, disciple et Enkelschüler) dont les œuvres sont caractérisées comme « rigides » et opposées à celles des nouveaux artistes qui suivent les préceptes de Lysippe, un artiste qui passait, selon certaines anecdotes, pour n’avoir été formé par aucun maître, mais par la nature elle-même. Les autres épigrammes que Posidippe consacre aux bronziers montrent que les principes de Lysippe ont pu inspirer des œuvres aussi différentes que le portrait très précis du vieux poète Philitas par le bronzier Hécataios ou la représentation auguste et colossale du dieu Hélios par Charès de Lindos. Un passage plinien lui aussi inspiré de ces premiers traités d’histoire de l’art, la description des qualités stylistiques de l’œuvre d’Euthycrate, disciple de Lysippe, fait état d’une conception de la transmission de l’enseignement artistique, des qualités stylistiques et du savoir technique entre le maître et son disciple qui rejoint les présupposés théoriques de Posidippe. Le vocabulaire stylistique employé dans ce passage de Pline nous permet de deviner la complexité de l’appareil théorique élaboré, au début de l’époque hellénistique, par Xénocrate et Douris.
La qualité : itinéraire d’un concept entre usage et théorie dans un dispositif de formation ouverte en langue étrangère
Authors: Ismail Nancy
Published: March 2017

Le concept de qualité ne concerne plus seulement les produits mais aussi les services ; il n’est plus réservé au secteur de l’industrie mais il envahit également le domaine de la formation et notamment les centres de langues dans le supérieur. Cela se manifeste, entre autres, par l’obtention de labels, à l’image du département de français langue étrangère de l’université de Lorraine (DéFLE-Lorraine) qui a obtenu le « Label Qualité FLE ». Son dispositif de formation ouverte en présentiel s’articule autour de plusieurs modalités d’accompagnement pour mieux se centrer sur les apprenants, leurs dispositions (représentations et motivations) et prendre en compte la diversité de leurs exigences (besoins et attentes). Cette prise en compte repose sur un processus d’évaluation multidimensionnel, externe et interne, qui contribue d’une part à mesurer le degré de compétence des apprenants, et d’autre part à contrôler la qualité de notre offre de formation et de nos services.
Spécialiser la compétence B2 en anglais dans le cadre d’une démarche qualité : Une proposition pour le secteur Lansad
Authors: Millot Philippe
Published: March 2017

Cet article présente un exemple d’adaptation du niveau B2 du Cadre européen commun de référence pour les langues sur la base d’une démarche qualité dans la faculté de philosophie d’une université française. La démarche consiste à attester une compétence à la fois pertinente et accessible pour des étudiants qui sont spécialistes d’une discipline et pour qui l’anglais remplit la double fonction d’accès à la culture spécialisée et de langue de communication internationale. L’attestation de la compétence suppose la mise en place de ce que nous considérons comme trois facettes essentielles de la démarche qualité en anglais de spécialité : la mise en place de cours orientés vers la compétence spécialisée, la conception d’un certificat et la création d’un corpus d’anglais de spécialité représentatif de la compétence visée.

Insecticide resistance in field populations of Leucinodes orbonalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) in India
Authors: Shirale Dattatray , Patil Meena , Parimi Srinivas
Published: March 2017

The status of insecticide resistance in field populations of eggplant fruit and shoot borer, Leucinodes orbonalis (Guenée) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) from the major vegetable growing regions of India was determined during the cropping seasons of 2009–2010 and 2010–2011. Six commonly used insecticides: carbaryl, chlorpyriphos, deltamethrin, endosulfan, fenvalerate, and profenofos were tested against L. orbonalis larvae. The resistance ratios (RR) at the lethal dosage (LD)50 levels were estimated as RR=LD50 field strain/LD50 susceptible strain. The L. orbonalis populations exhibited widespread resistance to tested insecticides. The highest average RR in the two-year study was observed in the assays of populations with deltamethrin (21.50–82.42-fold) followed by assays conducted with endosulfan (24.47–68.26-fold), chlorpyriphos (22.17–63.14-fold), carbaryl (39.18–49.09-fold), and fenvalerate (14.00–44.66-fold); and the lowest average RRs were observed in the assays with profenofos (16.65–39.43-fold). The high levels of LD50 values can be attributed to the long-term indiscriminate use of these insecticides in eggplant (Solanum melongena Linnaeus; Solanaceae) growing regions.

Published: March 2017

Primary gallbladder lymphoma is an extremely rare disease. We report a case of a 63 year-old woman who has been admitted with gradual onset abdominal pain in the upper right quadrant and in the suprapubic region, nausea and malaise. According to the computed tomography scan of the abdomen, which was suggestive of chronic cholecystitis, she was treated conservatively. A laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed 5 months later and the histological examingation of the gallbladder showed a low grade small lymphocytic lymphoma. The patient has been taken over by the hematology team who kept her under surveillance as no further treatment was deemed as necessary. The purpose of this paper is to report a rare case of primary gallbladder lymphoma and to demonstrate that a laparoscopic cholecystectomy may be a valid treatment for this disease.

Prolymhocytic leukemia (PLL) is a rare subtype of lymphocytic leukemias and its cells are immature lymphocytes. It is divided into 2 subgroups: T-PLL and B-PLL according to the lymphocytic origin of the cells. Discriminating B-PLL from other diseases with clinically-similar features is important because of the different treatment approaches and follow-up programs. Hereby, we report a 80-year-old woman presenting with fatigue, leucocytosis and mild anemia. Her peripheral blood smear evaluation revealed 85% prolymphocytes with moderately condensed nuclear chromatin, prominent nucleoli, and a faintly basophilic cytoplasm. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography showed mediastinal lymph nodes with cervical lymph nodes. There was no pathological FDG involvement in the spleen. Bone marrow aspiration smear exhibit atypical wide lymphocytes with prominent nucleoli and abundant agranular cytoplasm. Flow cytometry analysis revealed positive CD5+, CD19+, CD20+, CD22+, CD11c+, CD25+, CD79a+ and CD79b+. Fluorescence in situ hybridization technique analysis reveals no t(11;14). Bone marrow biopsy revealed interstitially distributed atypical cells with wide nucleus and prominent nucleolus.

Work-integrated learning within the reading literacy component of foundation phase teacher preparation programmes
Authors: Barends Zelda , Nel Carisma
Published: March 2017

Research confirms that the quality of instruction learners experience day-to-day matters for learner achievement more than any other school-based factor. Yet teachers beginning their careers across a range of contexts routinely report that they are unprepared to enact high-quality instruction on day one. Thus, the quality and content of pre-service teacher preparation programmes features prominently in learner success. Research reveals that purposeful coordination between teacher preparation programmes and the school districts with which they partner, tightly aligned curricula and field experiences, and extensive clinical practice can improve teacher preparedness (Darling-Hammond & Bransford 2007). The purpose of this article was to conduct a survey among selected universities offering Bachelor of Education (BEd) foundation phase programmes, to determine the role of work-integrated learning (WIL) in facilitating the preparedness of pre-service teachers to teach reading literacy. The results indicate that there is an urgent need to focus on the following aspects as they relate to WIL and its integration with reading literacy-specific content: the purpose of WIL as it relates to reading literacy; the degree of integration between coursework, specifically reading literacy and practice-based experiences (i.e. practice teaching); the relationship and partnerships between university lecturers and teachers and district officials; and the training of teachers to support the pre-service teachers.
The opportunity cost of the upkeep of the criminal justice system in South Africa from 1980 to 2006
Authors: De Villiers Pierre , Nel Soon
Published: March 2017

South African crime rates rose to unacceptably high levels between 1980 and 2006. As a result, vast amounts of funds were devoted to the upkeep of the criminal justice system – correctional services, justice and the police. Although it is necessary to spend a certain amount on the criminal justice system, in South Africa this expenditure was excessive. The excess funds that were spent on the upkeep of the criminal justice system could have covered the cost of financing the entire backlog in schooling facilities and a large part of the current housing shortage.

Optimising hydroxyl airglow retrievals from long-slit astronomical spectroscopic observations
Authors: Franzen Christoph , Hibbins Robert Edward , Espy Patrick Joseph , Djupvik Anlaug Amanda
Published: March 2017

Abstract. Astronomical spectroscopic observations from ground-based telescopes contain background emission lines from the terrestrial atmosphere’s airglow. In the near infrared, this background is composed mainly of emission from Meinel bands of hydroxyl (OH), which is produced in highly excited vibrational states by reduction of ozone near 90 km. This emission contains a wealth of information on the chemical and dynamical state of the Earth's atmosphere. However, observation strategies and data reduction processes are usually optimised to minimise the influence of these features on the astronomical spectrum. Here we discuss a measurement technique to optimise the extraction of the OH airglow signal itself from routine J-, H- and K-band, long-slit, astronomical spectroscopic observations. As an example, we use data recorded from a point source observation by the Nordic Optical Telescope’s intermediate-resolution spectrometer, which has a spatial resolution of approximately 100 m at the airglow layer. Emission spectra from the OH vibrational manifold from v' = 9 down to v' = 3, with signal-to-noise ratios up to 280, have been extracted from 10.8 s integrations. Rotational temperatures representative of the background atmospheric temperature near 90 km, the mesosphere and lower thermosphere region, can be fitted to the OH rotational lines with an accuracy of around 0.5 K. Using this measurement and analysis technique, we derive a rotational temperature distribution with v’ that agrees with atmospheric model conditions and the preponderance of previous work. We discuss the derived rotational temperatures from the different vibrational bands and highlight the potential for both the archived and future observations, which are at unprecedented spatial and temporal resolutions, to contribute toward the resolution of long-standing problems in atmospheric physics.
Aerosol type retrieval and uncertainty quantification from OMI data
Authors: Kauppi Anu , Kolmonen Pekka , Laine Marko , Tamminen Johanna
Published: March 2017

Abstract. We discuss uncertainty quantification for aerosol type selection in satellite-based atmospheric aerosol retrieval. The retrieval procedure uses pre-calculated aerosol microphysical models stored in look-up tables (LUTs) and top of atmosphere spectral reflectance measurements to solve the aerosol characteristics. The forward model approximations cause systematic differences between the modeled and observed reflectance. Acknowledging this model discrepancy as a source of uncertainty allows us to produce more realistic uncertainty estimates and assists the selection of the most appropriate LUTs for each individual retrieval. This paper focuses on the aerosol microphysical model selection and characterization of uncertainty in the retrieved aerosol type and aerosol optical depth (AOD). The concept of model evidence is used as a tool for model comparison. The method is based on Bayesian inference approach where all uncertainties are described as a posterior probability distribution. When there is no single best matching aerosol microphysical model we use a statistical technique based on Bayesian model averaging to combine AOD posterior probability densities of the best fitting models to obtain an averaged AOD estimate. We also determine the shared evidence of the best matching models of a certain main aerosol type in order to quantify how plausible each main aerosol type is in representing the underlying atmospheric aerosol conditions. The developed method is applied to Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) measurements using multi-wavelength approach for retrieving the aerosol type and AOD estimate with uncertainty quantification for cloud-free over-land pixels. Several larger pixel set areas were studied in order to investigate robustness of the developed method. We evaluated the retrieved AOD by comparison with ground-based measurements at example sites. We found that the uncertainty of AOD expressed by posterior probability distribution reflects the difficulty in model selection. The posterior probability distribution can provide a comprehensive characterization of the uncertainty in this kind of problem for aerosol type selection. As a result, the proposed method can account for the model error and also include the model selection uncertainty in the total uncertainty budget.
Estimation of a planetary magnetic field using a reduced magnetohydrodynamic model
Authors: Nabert Christian , Heyner Daniel , Glassmeier Karl-Heinz
Published: March 2017

Abstract. Knowledge of planetary magnetic fields provides deep insights into the structure and dynamics of planets. Due to the interaction of a planet with the solar wind plasma, a rather complex magnetic environment is generated. The situation at planet Mercury is an example of the complexities occurring as this planet's field is rather weak and the magnetosphere rather small. New methods are presented to separate interior and exterior magnetic field contributions which are based on a dynamic inversion approach using a reduced magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model and time-varying spacecraft observations. The methods select different data such as bow shock location information or magnetosheath magnetic field data. Our investigations are carried out in preparation for the upcoming dual-spacecraft BepiColombo mission set out to precisely estimate Mercury's intrinsic magnetic field. To validate our new approaches, we use THEMIS magnetosheath observations to estimate the known terrestrial dipole moment. The terrestrial magnetosheath provides observations from a strongly disturbed magnetic environment, comparable to the situation at Mercury. Statistical and systematic errors are considered and their dependence on the selected data sets are examined. Including time-dependent upstream solar wind variations rather than averaged conditions significantly reduces the statistical error of the estimation. Taking the entire magnetosheath data along the spacecraft's trajectory instead of only the bow shock location into account further improves accuracy of the estimated dipole moment.
Relation of anomalous F region radar echoes in the high-latitude ionosphere to auroral precipitation
Authors: Dahlgren Hanna , Schlatter Nicola M. , Ivchenko Nickolay , Roth Lorenz , Karlsson Alexander
Published: March 2017

Abstract. Non-thermal echoes in incoherent scatter radar observations are occasionally seen in the high-latitude ionosphere. Such anomalous echoes are a manifestation of plasma instabilities on spatial scales matching the radar wavelength. Here we investigate the occurrence of a class of spatially localized anomalous echoes with an enhanced zero Doppler frequency feature and their relation to auroral particle precipitation. The ionization profile of the E region is used to parametrize the precipitation, with nmE and hmE being the E region peak electron density and the altitude of the peak, respectively. We find the occurrence rate of the echoes to generally increase with nmE and decrease with hmE, thereby indicating a correlation between the echoes and high-energy flux precipitation of particles with a high characteristic energy. The highest occurrence rate of > 20 % is found for hmE  =  109 km and nmE  =  1011. 9 m−3, averaged over the radar observation volume.
JRAero: the Japanese Reanalysis for Aerosol v1.0
Authors: Yumimoto Keiya , Tanaka Taichu Y. , Oshima Naga , Maki Takashi
Published: March 2017

Abstract. A global aerosol reanalysis product named the Japanese Reanalysis for Aerosol (JRAero) was constructed by the Meteorological Research Institute (MRI) of the Japan Meteorological Agency. The reanalysis employs a global aerosol transport model developed by MRI and a 2-dimensional variational data assimilation method. It assimilates maps of aerosol optical depth (AOD) from MODIS onboard Terra and Aqua satellites every 6 hours and has a TL159 horizontal resolution (approximately 1.1° × 1.1°). This paper describes the aerosol transport model, the data assimilation system, the observation data, and the set-up of the reanalysis and examines its quality. Comparisons with MODIS AODs showed that the reanalysis showed much better agreement than the free run (without assimilation) of the aerosol model and improved under- and overestimation in the free run, thus confirming the accuracy of the data assimilation system. The reanalysis had a root mean square error (RMSE) = 0.05, a correlation coefficient (R) = 0.96, a mean fractional error (MFE) = 23.7 %, a mean fractional bias (MFB) = 2.8 %, and an index of agreement (IOA) = 0.98. The better agreement of the first guess, compared with the free run, indicates that aerosol fields obtained by the reanalysis can improve short-term forecasts. AOD fields from the reanalysis also agreed well with monthly averaged global AODs obtained by the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) (RMSE = 0.08, R = 0.90, MFE = 28.1 %, MFB = 0.6 %, and IOA = 0.93). Site-by-site comparison showed that the reanalysis was considerably better than the free run; RMSE was  0.90 at 40.7 % of the sites, and IOA was > 0.90 at 43.4 % of the sites. However, the reanalysis tended to have a negative bias at urban sites (in particular, megacities in industrializing countries) and a positive bias at mountain sites, possibly because of insufficient anthropogenic emissions data, the coarse model resolution, and the difference in representativeness between satellite and ground-based observations.
Design and Modelling of a Cable-Driven Parallel-Series Hybrid Variable Stiffness Joint Mechanism for Robotics
Authors: Yigit Cihat Bora , Boyraz Pinar
Published: March 2017

Abstract. The robotics, particularly the humanoid research field, needs new mechanisms to meet the criteria enforced by compliance, workspace requirements, motion profile characteristics and variable stiffness using lightweight but robust designs. The mechanism proposed herein is a solution to this problem by a parallel-series hybrid mechanism. The parallel term comes from two cable-driven plates supported by a compression spring in between. Furthermore, there is a two-part concentric shaft, passing through both plates connected by a universal joint. Because of the kinematic constraints of the universal joint, the mechanism can be considered as a serial chain. The mechanism has 4 degrees of freedom (DOF) which are pitch, roll, yaw motions and translational movement in z axis for stiffness adjustment. The kinematic model is obtained to define the workspace. The helical spring is analysed by using Castigliano's Theorem and the behaviour of bending and compression characteristics are presented which are validated by using finite element analysis (FEA). Hence, the dynamic model of the mechanism is derived depending on the spring reaction forces and moments. The motion experiments are performed to validate both kinematic and dynamic models. As a result, the proposed mechanism has a potential use in robotics especially in humanoid robot joints, considering the requirements of this robotic field.
The role of tidal modulation in coastal flooding on a micro-tidal coast
during Central American Cold Surge events
Authors: Rey Wilmer , Salles Paulo , Mendoza E. Tonatiuh , Torres-Freyermuth Alec , Appendini Christian M.
Published: March 2017

Abstract. Coastal flooding in the Yucatan Peninsula is mainly associated with storm surge events triggered by high-pressure cold fronts systems passing through the Gulf of Mexico. To assess coastal flood hazards, this study uses a thirty-year water level hindcast, and considers the contribution of wave setup and the role of tidal hydrodynamics. To diagnose the mechanisms controlling the water levels, extreme sea level occurrence probability at Progreso Port was performed to identify the two worst storms in terms of maximum residual tide (Event A), and maximum water level (Event B). Numerical results suggest that during Event A the wave setup contribution reaches 0.35 m at the coast and 0.17 m inside the back-barrier lagoon, while these values are smaller for Event B (0.30 m and 0.14 m, respectively). Besides, numerical results of the effect of the astronomical tidal phase on the wave set-up and the residual sea level show that: (i) the wave set-up is tidally modulated and contributes up to 14 % to the extreme water levels at the inlet, (ii) the residual tide is larger (smaller) during near-low (high) or receding (rising) tide, and (iii) maximum flooding occurs when the storm peak coincides with rising or high tide, despite micro-tidal conditions.
Mantle roots of the Emeishan plume: an evaluation based on telesismic P-wave tomography
Authors: He Chuansong , Santosh M.
Published: March 2017

Abstract. The voluminous magmatism associated with Large Igneous Provinces (LIP) is commonly correlated to upwelling plumes from the Mantle Transition Zone or the Core-Mantle Boundary (CMB). Here we analyse seismic tomographic data from the Emeishan LIP in southwestern China. Our results reveal vestiges of delaminated crustal and (or) lithospheric material in the cental part of the study area, and upwelling mantle in the southern part. Our results do not provide any conclusive evidence for upwelling mantle plume rooted in the CMB beneath the Emeishan LIP. We therefore suggest that the magmatism and the Emeishan LIP formation might be connected with the melting of delaminated lower crustal and (or) lithospheric components and associated plume-like upwelling from the mantle transition zone.
Razones que explican el uso de las lenguas en el Humanismo renacentista. El caso de la lengua alemana y castellana
Authors: Monreal Pérez Juan Luis
Published: March 2017

El Humanismo renacentista impulsó el uso de las lenguas, tanto las clásicas como las vernáculas. No obstante, el uso de las mismas no obedeció a la misma razón, sino que las razones principales que motivaron su uso fueron diferentes, tales como razones comunicativas, culturales y nacionales. La identidad de cada una de las razones hay que relacionarla con los diferentes humanistas del periodo renacentista. Cada uno de ellos, según su contexto histórico, su ámbito espacial, su cultura renacentista y su formación disciplinar, entendieron, usaron y le asignaron a las lenguas funciones algo diferentes, aunque en lo esencial hubo coincidencia: las lenguas deben servir de vehículo para la comunicación y para el acceso al conocimiento

Authors: Mangar Devanand , Dalvi Prachiti H. , Bernasek Thomas , Camporesi Enrico
Published: March 2017

Introduction: Perioperative Surgical Home (PSH) provides coordinated, team-based care that is patient-centered, designed to guide patients efficiently through the surgical experience. We applied several changes to our anesthesia practice during 2014 and evaluated outcomes for all orthopedic major joint replacement surgeries completed in 2015. Since this was a quality improvement/utilization study, we were granted approval from our institutional review board to retrospectively review these data.Methods: We conducted a utilization review of all 1,356 patients who received total knee, hip, or shoulder joint replacement from 4 major surgical providers in 2015. Preoperative evaluation was limited and focused to each patient’s unique medical conditions. Additionally, we reduced intraoperative fluid use, reduced continuous femoro-sciatic nerve or brachial plexus blocks by increasing the administration of single-shot regional blocks, limited transfusion, and minimized urinary catheter use. We improved pain consult response time and provided timely discharges.Results: We noted 9% reduction in preoperative imaging per case, 22% decrease in average number of tests per case, 87% fewer average units of red blood cell used per case, and a 0.4 day reduction in average length of stay (LOS). Patient satisfaction data showed constant improvement in pain management, and doctor communication.Conclusions: Numerous small modifications to patient care collectively contributed to these progressive observed changes in patient outcomes from quarter to quarter.

Authors: Alzahrani Majed Gharmallah , O’Toole John Mitchell
Published: March 2017

The purpose of this study is to investigate student experience with the Internet, and their attitudes towards using it, inan attempt to determine the impact of these experiences and attitudes on their view of the implementation of blendedlearning. Data from 142 Saudi students at a leading university in Saudi Arabia were collected via an onlinequestionnaire. The results reveal that students have both experience with and positive attitudes towards using theInternet. Demographic variables had no effect on these attitudes, but experience variables showed significant effects.Interestingly, there were mixed interactions regarding student study year; negatively with Internet experience andpositively with preference for the implementation of blended learning. Neither experience with the Internet norprogram of study appeared to influence student preference for blended learning but age, study year, and attitudestowards the Internet were associated with positive attitudes towards blended learning. Importantly, students in thepresent study supported the implementation of blended learning, but not entirely online learning. Student attitudestowards the Internet in general appeared to influence their attitude to learning approaches that use the Internet inblended learning environments. Discussion of these results is presented with suggested implications.

Authors: Costa Eduardo de Oliveira , Cabral José Ednilson Oliveira , Forte Sérgio Henrique Arruda Cavalcante , Costa Maria da Penha Braga
Published: March 2017

This paper is intended to contribute to the knowledge about the patterns of innovations in different economic sectors. Hence, the general objective is to assess the differences in rates, directions, sources and efforts of innovations between low-tech and high-tech industries in Brazil. The analysis is based on the database of a survey on innovation (PINTEC) conducted by IBGE. The sample includes 8,578 innovative Brazilian companies surveyed from selected low-tech industries (food and textiles manufactures) and high-tech industries (vehicles and electronics industries). Descriptive and factorial correspondence analysis were used to identify the variables regarding rates, directions, sources and efforts of innovation that discriminate the low-tech industries of high-tech. The results confirm that low-tech industries differ from high tech ones in all pattern of innovations dimensions analyzed. Hence, low tech industries, compared to high-tech ones, are less innovative, innovate more in process, have fewer people dedicated to RD, present suppliers as the most significant source of information and is a larger user of Government funding for the purchase of machinery and equipment. On the other hand, the high-tech industries are more innovative, innovate more in products, have more people dedicated to RD, search for information of other groups of companies, customers and competitors, and their larger use of public financing is for investing in RD.

Fungivorous gall midges of the subfamilies Lestremiinae, Micromyinae, Winnertziinae and Porricondylinae were largely neglected in previous inventories of the Diptera faunas of the Czech and Slovak Republics. A taxonomic-faunistic study focusing on these subfamilies identified a total of 80 species, of which 49 are new records for the Czech Republic and 33 are new records for Slovakia. Species that have never before been found in central Europe are Aprionus dalarnensis Mamaev, 1998, A. oligodactylus Jaschhof, 2009, A. pigmentalis Mamaev, 1998, Asynapta inflata Spungis, 1988, Camptomyia gigantea Spungis, 1989, Cassidoides fulviventris (Mamaev, 1964), Claspettomyia hamata (Felt, 1907), Dendrepidosis longipennis (Spungis, 1981), Dicerura dispersa Jaschhof, 2013, Divellepidosis lutescens (Spungis, 1981), D. pallescens (Panelius, 1965), D. vulgata Jaschhof, 2013, Ekmanomyia svecica Jaschhof, 2013, Holoneurus ciliatus Kieffer, 1896, Monepidosis pectinatoides Jaschhof, 2013, Neocolpodia gukasiani (Mamaev, 1990), Neurolyga acuminata Jaschhof, 2009, Neurolyga interrupta Jaschhof, 2009, Parepidosis planistylata Jaschhof, 2013, Peromyia bidentata Berest, 1988, Porricondyla errabunda Mamaev, 2001, P. microgona Jaschhof, 2013, P. tetraschistica Mamaev, 1988, Schistoneurus irregularis Mamaev, 1964, Spungisomyia fenestrata Jaschhof, 2013, S. media (Spungis, 1981), Tetraneuromyia lamellata Spungis, 1987, T. lenticularis (Spungis, 1987), and Winnertzia parvispina Jaschhof, 2013. A new genus including a single new species of Porricondylini is described and named Glossostyles perspicua Jaschhof & Sikora gen. et sp. nov. on the basis of specimens collected in the Czech Republic and Sweden. Adult morphology suggests that Glossostyles gen. nov. is a close relative of Claspettomyia Grover, 1964.

Published: March 2017

Interpreting is an ancient human practice which clearly predates the invention of writing and translation. Interpreting has existed for a long time. Whenever people met other people who had no common language they had to make do with sing language or find someone who speak both languages (Pochhacker, 2004). Interpreting is a form of translation in which a first and final rendition in another language is produced on the basis of a one-time presentation of an utterance in a source language (ibid). This paper is intended to provide some crucial features presented in interpreting; the quality of which directly affect the quality of interpreting.

Data mining is the process of analyzing data from different perspectives and summarizing it into useful information - information that can be used to increase revenue, cuts costs, or both. Data mining software is one of a number of analytical tools for analyzing data. Technically, data mining is the process of finding correlations or patterns among dozens of fields in large relational databases. This paper discusses data mining technique such as regression and clustering which is a process model for analyzing data and describes the support that SPSS provides for this model. SPSS-based analysis and application construction process is illustrated through a case study in the agricultural domain-ornamental plants. Cluster analysis or clustering was used is the task of assigning a set of objects into groups so that the objects in the same cluster are more similar to each other than to those in other clusters. In this survey clustering technique divides growth factors into several independent categories. Also, regression technique which was used includes many techniques for modeling and analyzing several variables, when the focus is on the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. More specifically, regression analysis helps one understand how the typical value of the dependent variable changes when any one of the independent variables is varied, while the other independent variables are held fixed. In this research, analyzed data with regression technique showed the effect of chlorophyll content on the number of flowers.
Fusion of Hidden Markov Model and Wavelet Transform to Recognise Breast Cancer

Published: March 2017

Public health is affected by the health and vitality of women who are the pillars of the families. Among the women between 15 to 54 years old, breast cancer is one of the most important causes of mortality. Every 13 minutes, a woman loses her life due to breast cancer. Statistics show that %12.6 of women suffer from breast cancer. Mammography can be considered as one of the most efficient methods of breast cancer diagnosis; however, this method has still its own limitations. The quality of mammography images can be enhanced by using image processing and the disease can be diagnosed more easily by using image feature extraction. Using Hidden Markov Model and wavelet transform method, a new method for the detection of suspicious areas of breast cancer tumors will be proposed in this study. In addition to the detection of tumors, this method can determine the mass percentage to estimate the progression of the disease. In this study, Markov Model with a tree structure was used to extract statistical properties of the wavelet components. The specific capacity of Markov Model to extract information about edges and the regions of protrusions in image tissues increases the accuracy of cancerous areas detection. The present study sought to estimate the appropriate label (clustering) of the pixels of an image under investigation to segment cancerous areas. Therefore, certain joint distributions were assumed for the pixels of a region or a class and then the maximum similarities between different areas of the examined image and joint distributions were examined through the Maximum-Likelihood Estimation method. To evaluate the proposed method and analyze the results, a combination of the MIAS and PADN databases comprising 150 images was used. The results indicated that the proposed method is more accurate than methods which are solely based on wavelet transform. In the new method, the obtained detection rate was %96 while in the wavelet transform method, it has been reported %71.5 indicating the precision of the proposed method.

Concurrent with the ever-increasing growth of information and communication technology (ICT) and the dramatic expansion ofcomputer networks, we observe different forms of attacks and intrusions to networks; thus intrusion detection systems (IDSs) are consideredas a vital part of each network connected to internet in the modern world. Neural networks are considered as a popular method used in IDS.Two major problems in these networks, i.e. long training time and inattention to features' domain, have made necessary development and/orimprovement of the model. Feature selection techniques are used in the neural networks in order to develop a new model to speed up theattack detection, to reduce error notification rate and finally to enhance system's efficiency. In this study, for enhancing efficiency of theneural network in detecting intrusions, a genetic algorithm was used for selecting features. The suggested model was examined and assessedon NSL-KDD dataset which is the modified version of the KDD-CUP99. The experimental results indicate that the suggested model is veryefficient in enhancing precision and recall of attack detection and reducing the error notification rate and also is able to offer more accuratedetections in contrast to the basic models
