Una metodología para el tratamiento de la multicolinealidad a través del escalamiento multidimensional
Authors: Guerrero Sara Cristina
Published: December 2017

Se presenta una estrategia para tratar el incumplimiento del supuesto de multicolinealidad en el análisis de regresión múltiple, cuando las variables regresoras son cualitativas, cuantitativas o mixtas (cuantitativas y cualitativas) y la variable respuesta continua. La metodología se basa en el análisis de escalamiento multidimensional, usando como métrica la distancia de Gower si las variables predictoras son mixtas, o en caso contrario, otra distancia de tipo Euclideana. El propósito es obtener la matriz de coordenadas principales, y con ésta, estimar el modelo de regresión. Para observar las bondades del método propuesto, se realizan dos casos de simulación: el primero sin presencia de multicolinealidad y el segundo, con presencia de multicolinealidad. Se presentan dos casos de aplicación analizados por Draper y Smith (2014) mediante regresión múltiple, tanto en los casos simulados como en las aplicaciones se utilizó el paquete estadístico R. Los resultados de las simulaciones y aplicaciones se comparan con la regresión múltiple clásica y la basada en componentes principales. El análisis propuesto es una alternativa de modelamiento que corrige la colinealidad y permite trabajar las variables sin pérdida de información al modelar linealmente situaciones donde se oculta el verdadero efecto de las variables originales, de manera que no se manipulen los resultados.
Developments in physical weed control
Authors:   University of Maine, USA, Gallandt Eric R. , Brainard Daniel ,   Michigan State University, USA, Brown Bryan ,   University of Maine, USA
Published: December 2017

Physical weed control is the key method for reducing negative impacts of weeds in organic cropping systems, and remains important even on many conventional vegetable farms. Inter-row cultivation is generally effective, but controlling intra-row weeds remains a challenge. Well-timed use of torsion, finger and tine weeders can control intra-row weeds, with impressive efficacy observed when the tools are combined or ‘stacked’. However, selectivity of intra-row tools depends in part on maintenance of a size differential between crops and weeds, which is particularly challenging in slow-growing, direct-seeded crops. Recent advances in GPS and camera-based guidance system technologies permit high working rates, and increasingly precise, close-to-the-row tool adjustment. Innovative tool design, parameter-based values for adjustment and choice of tool, and advances in mechanistic understanding of weed seedling mortality and crop injury could elevate physical weed control to a level of performance farmers have grown to expect from modern herbicides.
Soil solarization: a sustainable method for weed management
Authors:   The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, Rubin Baruch , Gamliel Abraham ,   The Volcani Center, Israel
Published: December 2017

Solar heating of soils, better known as soil solarization, involves heating moist and mulched soil (with a transparent polyethylene film) for several weeks. Its advantages include its non-chemical nature and its effective use in a wide range of agricultural areas worldwide. This chapter reviews the use of solarization in sustainable weed management. We cover its mode of action, its effects on weeds, soil nutrients and pesticides, and the benefits and limitations of this strategy. The plastic mulching technology required for solarization is also discussed.

La teoría del castigo en el pensamiento jurídico de Hegel = The theory of punishment in Hegel’s legal thought
Authors: Herszenbaun Miguel Alejandro
Published: December 2017

RESUMEN: El pensamiento jurídico de Hegel se plasma en al menos tres obras publicadas en vida del autor, la Fenomenología del espíritu, la Enciclopedia de las ciencias filosóficas y la Filosofía del derecho. La complejidad al abordar el tratamiento hegeliano del Derecho en general y del Derecho Penal en particular radica fundamentalmente en una falta de consideración de su lugar sistemático en su obra y de su articulación con el resto del pensamiento hegeliano. En este trabajo, ofrezco una interpretación del fundamento del Derecho Penal que considere tanto la ubicación sistemática de lo jurídico como también aspectos generales del pensamiento hegeliano.ABSTRACT: Hegel’s legal thought has been considered in at least three works published while the author was alive: the Phenomenology of Spirit, the Encyclopedia and the Philosophy of Right. The main problem while considering Hegel’s treatment of Penal Law is based on a lack of attention to its systematic location on Hegel’s work and a lack of articulation between the legal subject and the Hegelian thought. In this paper, I offer an interpretation on the grounds of the Penal Law. This interpretation takes into account the systematic location of the legal subject and main aspects of Hegel’s philosophy.PALABRAS CLAVE: Hegel, delito, Derecho, castigo.KEYWORDS: Hegel, crime, Law, punishment.

Helminthiasis can be transmitted from animals to humans (zoonosis). Helminthiasis can cause cutaneus larva migrants, visceral larva migrant, and occular larva migrants. Cats are the most easily animals can found in public areas. cats have a habit of defecating in areas, such as dusty soil, gardens, sand pits, trash cans, and even children’s playgrounds. Proximity of human life with a stray cats is one of the potential that can helminthiasis transmited to humans. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of helminth eggs (species and number) observed in cat feces contaminating public areas in Surabaya. Cross-sectional study have been observations cats existense and examination laboratory of 180 cat fecal samples were collected from canteens, markets, villages, schools, and parks across 5 areas in Surabaya. Helminth eggs present in fecal samples were identified using direct smear, sedimentation, and flotation methodes, and quantified as fecal egg count (eggs per gram of feces) with McMasster method. The test results positive for helminthiasis if found one or more types of helminth eggs in fecal samples. Helminth eggs were present in 68 (37.8%) of the 180 cat fecal samples contaminating public areas in Surabaya. Results of chi-squared analysis confirmed the prevalence of helminth eggs in cat fecal samples contaminating canteen, markets, villages, schools, and parks in Surabaya (p > 0.05). The species causing environmental contamination included Ancylostoma sp. eggs,  Toxocara cati eggs, and Toxascaris leonina eggs. The level of environmental contamination, as assessed using ANOVA, was 200 eggs per gram of feces.

Dengue virus (DENV) is a significant pathogen emerging worldwide as a cause of infectious disease. Antidengue treatments are urgently required to control the emergence of dengue. DENV is a mosquito-borne disease responsible for acute systemic diseases and serious health conditions. DENVs were distributed in the tropical and sub-tropical areas and transmitted to humans by Aedes agypty and Aedes albopictus. Dengue vaccine or antiviral has not yet been clinically approved for humans, even though there have been great efforts toward this end. Antiviral activity against DENV is an important alternative for the characterization and development of drugs. Metal–organic compounds were reported to exhibit fungicidal, bactericidal, and antiviral activities its inhibitory activity was not significant, at high concentration it was more toxic to replicating cells than to stationary cell monolayers of Vero cells. The aim of this study is to investigate the antiviral effects of Cobalt(II)–Morin complex. This compound was further investigated for its inhibitory effect on the replication of DENV-2 in Vero cells. The replication of DENV was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the value of selectivity index (SI). SI was determined as the ratio of the 50% cytotoxic concentration (CC50) to the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50). The IC50 value of the Cobalt(II)–Morin complex for DENV-2 was 3.08 µg/ml, and the CC50 value of the complex for Vero cells was 3.36 µg/ml; thus, the SI value was 1.09. The results of this study demonstrate the antidengue serotype 2 inhibitory activity of Cobalt(II)–Morin complex and its high toxicity in Vero cells. Further studies are not required before Co(II)–Morin can be applied in the treatment of DENV-2 infections.
A REVIEW ON THE CHEMISTRY AND PHARMACOLOGY OF Rennellia elliptica Korth
Authors: Osman Che Puteh , Ismail Nor Hadiani
Published: December 2017

Rennellia elliptica, popularly dubbed as Malaysian Ginseng, is widely used in traditional medicine among the local Jakun community in Endau-Rompin State Park, Pahang, Malaysia. The decoction of the roots is traditionally taken for treatment of body aches, as postpartum tonic, as aphrodisiac and for the treatment of jaundice. In the effort of searching new botanical drugs and drug candidates from tropical rainforest, the team from this laboratory had conducted a sizeable phytochemical and biological screening program of tropical plant at Endau Rompin State Park, Pahang with the help from the indigenous people. R. elliptica showed strong antiplasmodial activity in vitro with the IC50 value of 4.04µg/mL. The comprehensive study on the root extract of R. elliptica in this laboratory yielded seventeen compounds from four different classes, including 2 new pyranoanthraquinones, one new anthraquinone, eleven known anthraquinones, one lactone triterpenoid, one coumarin and one phenolic acid. The chemical profile of the root extract was established using HPLC and the selected marker compounds were used as external standards and quantified using standard calibration curve. Nordamnacanthal 5, damnacanthal 7, 2-formyl-3-hydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone 6, 2-methyl-3-hydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone 11 and 1,2-dimethoxy-6-methyl-9,10-anthraquinone 3 were determined at 3.57, 10.32, 4.47, 12.18 and 4.09 µg/g, respectively. Owing to the toxicity of dichloromethane, the extraction of the desired marker compounds was attempted using accelerated solvent extraction and soxhlet extraction using ethanol and water at different compositions. R. elliptica root extract and the isolated anthraquinones showed potential antiplasmodial activity, and the active compounds were probed for their mode of action. In addition, the dichloromethane root extract of R. elliptica and the selected anthraquinones were screened for anticancer, antioxidant, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities as well as toxicity study in vitro.  The review summarizes the findings on Rennellia elliptica which includes phytochemistry, toxicity and its biological activities. The chemotaxonomic significance of Rennellia elliptica is also discussed
Flood Mitigation Techniques—A New Perspective for the Case Study of Adayar Watershed
Authors: V. Vidyapriya , M. Ramalingam
Published: December 2017

Mostly populous city like Chennai is subjected to frequent flooding due to its complex nature of natural and man-made activities. From the analysis of the past records of flood events of 1943,1976,1985,2005 and 2008,it has been observed Adayar watershed is subjected to cataclysmic flooding in low-lying areas of the city and its suburbs because of inoperativeness of the local drainage system, rainfall associated with cyclonic activity, topography of the terrain, encroachments along the floodplain, hugh upstream flow discharge into the river and the highly impervious area which blocked the runoff to flow into the storm water drainage. After looking into these problems of flooding, a study have been conducted on Adayar watershed to develop a 2D hydrodynamic model for the two scenarios of existing condition of storm water drainage network and revised conditions of storm water drainage network using high resolution Lidar DEM to assess the volume of runoff with respect to time and duration on flood peaks for the two flood events of 2005 and 2015.Secondly to develop a 1D flood model to predict the river stages during peak floods using MIKE 11 for the Adayar watershed. Thirdly to integrate the coupled 1D and 2D model using MIKEFLOOD for assessing the extent of inundation in the floodplain area of Adayar river. Finally results from the integrated model have been validated and the results found satisfactory. As a part of mitigation measures, two flood mitigation measures have been adopted. One measure such as revised storm water drainage system which enhances the flood carrying capacity of the drains and results in less inundated area which solves the problem of urban flooding and second measure such as regrading the river bed which reduces the floodplain inundation around the adjacent area of the river. After adopting these measures, the river is free to flow into the sea without any blockades.

Published: December 2017

Core Ideas

Composite risk management is important to peanut growers.

Management strategies for pests need to be harmonized for peanut.

Computer decision support systems can facilitate planning for pest management in peanut.

A web‐based decision support system was created to assist peanut (Arachis hypogaea L) growers in Virginia and North Carolina with pre‐season risk assessment and pest management decision‐making. The decision support system was created to help growers and their advisers assess the potential impact of competing and/or supportive management strategies on multiple pest species. Individual risk indices were created for five diseases, two arthropods, and three nematodes based on results of published research studies, as well as many years of research and extension experience. The decision support system also includes categories associated with overall risk for the 10 pests and total cost of overall management.
Changes in Water Quality of Grand Lake St. Marys Watershed Following Implementation of a Distressed Watershed Rules Package
Authors: Jacquemin Stephen J. , Johnson Laura T. , Dirksen Theresa A. , McGlinch Greg
Published: December 2017

Grand Lake St. Marys watershed has drawn attention over the past decade as water quality issues resulting from nutrient loading have come to the forefront of public opinion, political concern, and scientific study. The objective of this study was to assess long‐term changes in water quality (nutrient and sediment concentrations) following the distressed watershed rules package instituted in 2011. Since that time, a variety of rules (e.g., winter manure ban) and best management practices (cover crops, manure storage or transfers, buffers, etc.) have been implemented. We used a general linear model to assess variation in total suspended solids, particulate phosphorus, soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP), nitrate N, and total Kjeldahl nitrogen concentrations from daily Chickasaw Creek (drains ∼25% of watershed) samples spanning 2008 to 2016. Parameters were related to flow (higher values during high flows), timing (lower values during winter months), and the implementation of the distressed watershed rules package (lower values following implementation). Overall, reductions following the distressed designation for all parameters ranged from 5 to 35% during medium and high flow periods (with exception of SRP). Reductions were even more pronounced during winter months covered by the manure ban, where all parameters (including SRP) exhibited decreases at medium and high flows between 20 and 60%. While the reductions seen in this study are significant, concentrations are still highly elevated and continue to be a problem. We are optimistic that this study will serve to inform future management in the region and elsewhere.

Core Ideas

Grand Lake St. Marys receives high nutrient runoff from crop and livestock agriculture.

The watershed was declared distressed in 2011, and management priorities were implemented.

Management priorities included a winter manure application ban and encouraged other BMPs.

Reductions in TSS, PP, SRP, NO3−, and TKN were noted at all flows following the designation.

This represents an important step toward improved water quality in the watershed.
Soil Carbon Response to Projected Climate Change in the US Western Corn Belt
Authors: Wienhold Brian J. , Jin Virginia L. , Schmer Marty R. , Varvel Gary E.
Published: December 2017

The western US Corn Belt is projected to experience major changes in growing conditions due to climate change over the next 50 to 100 yr. Projected changes include increases in growing season length, number of high temperature stress days and warm nights, and precipitation, with more heavy rainfall events. The impact these changes will have on soil organic carbon (SOC) needs to be estimated and adaptive changes in management developed to sustain soil health and system services. The process‐based model CQESTR was used to model changes in SOC stocks (0–30 cm) of continuous corn (Zea mays L.) and a corn–soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] rotation under disk, chisel, ridge, and no‐tillage using projected growing season conditions for the next 50 yr. Input for the model was based on management and harvest records from a long‐term tillage study (1986–2015) in eastern Nebraska, and model output was validated using measured changes in SOC from 1999 to 2011 in the study. The validated model was used to estimate changes in SOC over 17 yr under climatic conditions projected for 2065 under two scenarios: (i) crop yields increasing at the observed rate from 1971 to 2016 or (ii) crop yields reduced due to negative effects of increasing temperature. CQESTR estimates of SOC agreed well with measured SOC (R2 = 0.70, P < 0.0001). Validated model simulated changes in SOC under projected climate change differed among the three soil depths (0–7.5, 7.5–15, and 15–30 cm). Summed over the 0‐ to 30‐cm depth, there were significant three‐way interactions of year × rotation × yield (p = 0.014) and year × tillage × yield (p < 0.001). As yield increased, SOC increased under no‐tillage continuous corn but was unchanged under no‐tillage corn–soybean and ridge tillage regardless of cropping system. Under chisel and disk tillage, SOC declined regardless of cropping system. With declining yields SOC decreased regardless of tillage or cropping system. These results highlight the interaction between genetics and management in maintaining yield trends and soil C.

Core Ideas

Improvements in management and genetics will be needed to maintain or increase C sequestration.

Conservation tillage practices that minimize soil disturbance sustain soil organic C.

Decreasing crop yields will require additional input to sustain current soil organic C levels.
When finance met security: Back to the War on Drugs and the problem of dirty money
Authors: Amicelle Anthony
Published: December 2017

When and how did the laundering of ‘dirty’ money become an object of public concern, debate, and ultimately policy at the intersection of finance and security? This article sheds light on the social construction of money laundering as a public problem in the context of the U.S. War on Drugs during the 1970s and 1980s. By doing so, the article also stresses the heuristic value of questioning the finance-security nexus through an analytics of public problems. Its aims are to: (1) avoid interdisciplinary debates around the finance-security nexus becoming trapped in a zero-sum game between the ‘securitization of finance’ and the ‘financialization of security’; and (2) understand better the emergence, re-configuration, and internal tensions of social spaces at the interface of finance and security.
Militaries, finance, and (in)security
Authors: Gilbert Emily
Published: December 2017

This essay points to some of the ways that militaries are focused on money and
economics, and addresses what this means for understanding the entanglements of
security and finance. We cannot think about security in the contemporary moment
without also thinking about militaries and war, and it is only by addressing how
military power engages money and finance that can we better understand how
insecurity is enacted.
Chains of securitization
Authors: de Goede Marieke
Published: December 2017

Securitization has a dual rationality that twins a financial sense to one of
modern statecraft and national security. This forum contribution advocates a
focus on material practices as a means of further exploring the entanglement of
finance and security. In particular, it advances a notion of ‘chains of
securitization’, arguing that such a concept provides researchers with a
concrete way to analyze how ‘financial’ objects, such as derivatives, are
assembled to generate (in)securities, as well as how ‘security’ objects, such as
suspicious transactions, are assembled across public/private domains.

MONSTROS RESPLANDECENTES: O ESPAÇO FANTÁSTICO E A (DES)CONSTRUÇÃO DA IDENTIDADE EM UMA CASA NA ESCURIDÃO (2002), DE JOSÉ LUÍS PEIXOTO
Authors: Gonçalo Furão Igor
Published: December 2017

Partindo do romance Uma casa na Escuridão (2002), de José Luís Peixoto, este trabalho almeja delinear algumas linhas de reflexão sobre as mudanças que o ataque às torres gémeas do World Trade Center produziram na sociedade/identidade portuguesas.Através da criação de um universo fantástico, no qual se movimentam lado a lado os debilitados habitantes da casa e os “bárbaros” soldados invasores, o romance de Peixoto permite-nos uma abordagem que articula fenomenologia, crítica cultural e crítica literária, dando-nos desta forma acesso a várias camadas hermenêuticas da mudança societal que se opera na passagem de uma sociedade disciplinar para uma sociedade de controlo (Deleuze) dominada pelo medo, até ao modo como o trauma do 11 de Setembro de 2001 se relaciona com uma já traumática identidade portuguesa, herdada do regime salazarista. De modo a articular com maior clareza as referidas camadas da obra, procurarei, num primeiro momento, analisar alguns aspectos a nível formal, nomeadamente, questões de linguagem e a justificação do género fantástico nesta obra; num segundo momento, o enfoque recairá sobretudo sobre a problemática da memória cultural/histórica e os mecanismos através dos quais esta enforma uma matriz identitária portuguesa, a qual, por permanecer agrilhoada ao passado (saudade), outra coisa não vê que escuridão no seu presente (Eduardo Lourenço).
O ESPAÇO URBANO E A PRODUÇÃO DE SENTIDOS
Authors: Nazareno Telles Sobral Gilberto
Published: December 2017

Estudar uma cidade é procurar entender as tensões humanas e materiais que preenchem seus espaços, seja como forma de resistência ou de transformações daqueles que nela transitam. Os espaços urbanos são ocupados pela sua arquitetura, manifestações culturais, por indivíduos e seus corpos, entre tantas outras coisas, os quais (re)constroem discursivamente estes espaços. A fim de analisar como o espaço urbano significa, tomamos como aporte teórico a Análise do Discurso de linha francesa filiada a Michel Pêcheux e como objeto de estudo dois espaços urbanos que passaram por processos de revitalização: o Centro Histórico de Salvador e a Rua 13 de Maio, mais conhecida como Beco da Energia, em Feira de Santana.
ARTIVISMO: OS TRÊS TEMPOS PARA O EMPODERAMENTO
Authors: Aparecida Zimermann Giovana
Published: December 2017

Este texto faz um relato de minha experiência como roteirista e diretora de uma trilogia fílmica ficcional, realizada com a finalidade de discutir a violência de gênero. A trilogia, intitulada Os três tempos, remete aos três tempos mencionados por Jacques Lacan, quando se refere ao instante de ver, ao tempo para compreender e ao momento de concluir. O período de produção, finalização e difusão dos dois primeiros filmes (que vai de 2002 a 2017), coincide com um período de implantação de políticas públicas para mudar o quadro de violência de gênero no Brasil e que também ficou conhecido pela expressão “empoderamento”, uma terminologia do devir feminista contra o apagamento das lutas das mulheres e das minorias.
O CÁLCULO DE CABEÇA E O SURDO: IMAGINANDO EM SINAIS
Authors: Costa Walber Christiano Lima da , Silveira Marisa Rosâni Abreu da
Published: December 2017

O ensino de matemática tem passado ao longo dos tempos por transformações, que muitas vezes atingem tanto no que diz respeito às propostas metodológicas dos professores em sala de aula, quanto em questões importantes tais como reformas curriculares. Percebemos que em meio a essas mudanças, o cálculo de cabeça tem perdido espaço nas salas de aula e com isso, há pouco interesse dos pesquisadores em atentar para essa questão tão importante no aprendizado da matemática. O presente artigo objetiva discutir questões acerca do cálculo de cabeça em alunos surdos. Levando em consideração que os surdos têm uma forma diferenciada de ver, entendemos que isso seja um indicativo à questão: Como o surdo realiza um cálculo de cabeça? Evidências apontam que o surdo calcula de cabeça a partir do uso das mãos, realizando sinais. Este estudo de cunho bibliográfico utiliza exemplos ocorridos a partir de situações vivenciadas pelos pesquisadores.

The Fictitious Liberal Divide
Authors: Melkevik Åsbjørn
Published: December 2017

The main question dividing classical and high liberals is about how economic rights rank compared to other rights and public goals. That is, the question is about what can or cannot outweigh such rights. High liberals argue that economic rights can be outweighed by any legitimate state interest, such that they are prima facie rights. Neoclassical liberals, conversely, have recently sought to elevate economic rights to basic rights, which could then only be outweighed by other basic rights. This paper shows where the real debate should be for classical liberals, challenging Samuel Freeman’s widely held distinction between classical and high liberalism. Economic rights are prima facie for all liberals in that they can be outweighed by, say, considerations of utility or social justice. Although neoclassical liberals are correct to say that such rights are much more important than high liberals normally recognize, it does not follow that economic rights are basic.
