L’organisation, la cybernétique et le Golem
Authors: Rappin Baptiste
Published: December 2017

Cet article prend pour réflexion l’essence de la technique managériale qui s’appuie sur une archéologie historique puis théologique du management. Du point de vue généalogique, le management est rattaché à la matrice cybernétique de laquelle ses principales fonctions découlent : en effet, management stratégique, contrôle de gestion, gestion des ressources humaines, management des connaissances, etc., se développent en prenant appui sur la catégorie de l’organisation thématisée par les cybernéticiens. Toutefois, la dimension technique de la cybernétique est ici appréciée en fonction des références, discrètes mais significatives, de Norbert Wiener à la légende du Golem. Ce soubassement théologique sert alors de support à une discussion sur le statut des techniques managériales.
Jean-Marie Le Pen et la SERP : le disque de musique au service d’une pratique politique
Authors: Thomas Jonathan
Published: December 2017

Active jusqu’en 1999, la Société d’Études et de Relations Publiques (SERP) est une maison d’édition phonographique fondée notamment par Jean-Marie Le Pen en 1963. Elle publie en disques vinyle, cassette audio et CD de nombreuses compilations thématiques de documents historiques, musiques et discours politiques, que leur conception éditoriale et leur orientation politique rendent mobilisables pour servir les pratiques politiques de Jean-Marie Le Pen puis de son parti, le Front national. Comme les autres contenus sonores du disque SERP, la musique est aussi, à travers un discours sur ses capacités signifiantes et son exploitation comme référent historique, mémoriel et identitaire, employée comme un outil politique. Cet article s’intéressera, après une présentation historique de la SERP, à l’usage du disque de musique par les acteurs d’une pratique politique. À travers des sources écrites (presse partisane) et discographiques (notes de pochette, écoute et caractérisation des enregistrements), il tentera de comprendre comment le disque SERP et sa musique deviennent les vecteurs de transmission des imaginaires mémoriels, identitaires et militants des diverses communautés d’extrême-droite invitées à soutenir la réalisation du projet politique de Jean-Marie Le Pen et du Front national.
The Social Place of the Portuguese Punk Scene: an Itinerary of the Social Profiles of its Protagonists
Authors: Abreu Paula , Silva Augusto Santos , Guerra Paula , Oliveira Ana , Moreira Tânia
Published: December 2017

Cet article présente une caractérisation de la scène punk portugaise, entre 1977 et 2014, tout en tenant compte des profils sociaux de ses protagonistes. Il est basé sur la proposition sociologique selon laquelle le positionnement social des acteurs sociaux influe sur ce qu’ils font, disent ou sentent. Leur profilage social aidera à comprendre leur rôle dans la scène musicale. Cette approche a été jugée fondamentale dans l’interprétation des cultures jeunes ayant émergé dans le contexte d’après-guerre et la façon dont ils ont repensé la culture pop. Dans cet article, nous avons deux objectifs particuliers : d’une part, établir un portrait des principaux personnages de la scène punk portugaise à travers la définition des profils sociaux de 214 personnes interviewées entre mai 2012 et octobre 2014 ; d’autre part, permettre des comparaisons avec d’autres scènes musicales au Portugal, et/ou avec des scènes punk dans d’autres pays. Ici, nous devons évidemment tenir compte de la condition sociale de ces protagonistes, y compris non seulement leur origine de classe et sa présente affiliation, mais aussi d’autres caractéristiques pertinentes, telles que le sexe et l’âge. Ainsi, cet article va explorer les thèmes suivants : les rôles et les fonctions des sujets au sein de la scène punk ; les relations entre les sexes ; les différents groupes d’âge et le vieillissement ; les localisations des sujets dans le territoire portugais, à la fois en termes d’origine et de résidence ; le capital scolaire ; et les groupes socio-professionnels.
Quality of Internet Service as Experienced by Tanzanians in 2016
Authors: Sedoyeka Eliamani
Published: December 2017

In this article, Quality of Experience (QoE) is discussed as experienced by Tanzanian internet users for the second biannual of 2016. It presents findings of the research that aimed at among other things, finding out the QoE in internet services offered by telecommunication companies and other internet service providers in the country. A qualitative approach was used to establish practical quality of experience issues considered important by Tanzanians. Online questionnaires distributed over social media mainly WhatsApp and Facebook were used to ask users about their experiences of the services they had been receiving, in which over 2000 responses were collected from all districts of Tanzania. It was established that usability, quality of service, price and after sale support were the main issues found to influence quality of experience for many. The findings in this article are useful for academicians, QoS and QoE researchers, policy makers and ICT professionals.
Assessing challenges to ineffective communication in government institutions: A case study of Vuwani area, Limpopo, South Africa
Authors: Rasila Bernard N. , Musitha Mavhungu E.
Published: December 2017

Twenty-five schools were burnt. Others were damaged. This is during the protest at Vuwani area. Five houses were also torched. Businesses were brought to complete shutdown for more than three months.The protests followed lack of effective communication and consultation between Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB), government and communities on matters of municipality boundaries. The MDB took a decision that parts of Vuwani would be incorporated into the Malamulele villages to establish a new municipality, LIM 345. This angered Vuwani communities allegedly because they were not consulted. The MDB denied the allegations.A qualitative study was conducted in the area where there were interactions with government, and community members. Media reports were also used to substantiate the findings. It was revealed through the study results that although there was some communication between government institutions including the MDB and community members, this was not effective, hence violent protests. This paper is intended to provide strategies for future effective communication by state functionaries to avoid violent protests caused by ineffective communication.
Verdien Homo naledi ‘n plek in ons familie-album? ‘n Teologiese besinning oor die evoluering van spiritualiteit met spesifieke verwysing na die begraafplaasteorie van Lee Berger en die ‘Rising-Star’-ekspedisie
Authors: Pienaar Kobus
Published: December 2017

The discovery of a new homonin species called Homo naledi evoked unprecedented interest, even outside the scientific disciplines who are researching extinct homonin species. The reason for this is that Prof. Lee Berger, attached to the University of the Witwatersrand and his team, known as the Rising Star-expedition, came to the conclusion that the fossils that were discovered in the Dinaledi cave room in Sterkfontein outside Johannesburg in 2013, were placed there deliberately. The theory postulates the possibility of symbolic or ritual behaviour by a species that lived and later became extinct approximately 1 to 2 million years ago. If this is indeed the case, it also offers theologians the opportunity to join the conversation with regard to the evolvement of our spirituality and religiousness. This article is an attempt to render a contribution, with the data available to us, about the value of the prehistoric signs of spirituality with specific reference to the so-called cemetery theory. Together with this, other usable theories will be employed to consider the possible signs of ritual and symbolic behaviour by Homo naledi. The condition for a meaningful discussion about the evolvement of our spirituality and religiousness is that epistemological contours be clearly drawn. With the first part of the article these contours are drawn and with the second part the possible implications of the cemetery theory are reviewed.
‘Living God, renew and transform us’ – 26th General Council of the World Communion of Reformed Churches, in Leipzig, Germany, 29 June to 07 July 2017
Authors: Moltmann Jürgen
Published: December 2017

This article aims at exploring the theme ‘Living God, renew and transform us’ under the following headings: the living God and the gods of death, the desolation of atheism and the sun of righteousness, just law and the fullness of life. The author relates the ‘God of Life’ to a ‘theology embracing life’. He links the ‘gods of death’ to racism, capitalism and terrorism in which we ‘encounter a new religion of death’. He points out that Christianity is a religion of joy in God and sets out to illustrate this with selected biblical texts. In the section ‘The desolation of atheism’, the author argues that modern atheism offers a ‘reduced life’. To make his point, he refers to his own personal experience and the theological ‘protest atheism’ which arose in the 19th century. The author concludes by stating that atheism offers nothing positive. In the final section, ‘The sun of righteousness, just law and the fullness of life’, the author addresses issues of justice. In referring to the Reformation doctrine on justification, the author states that the justification of victims requires confessio oris, rising up from humiliation and forgiveness.
A review of accounting research in internationalising journals in the South African region
Authors: De Villiers Charl J. , Hsiao Pei-Chi K.
Published: December 2017

Background: This study analyses the accounting research articles published by South African journals.Aim and setting: A review of accounting research in internationalising journals in the South African region that publish accounting research.Methods: The characteristics of accounting articles were analysed. Five journals were analysed, including the four internationalising journals, Investment Analysts Journal, Meditari Accountancy Research, South African Journal of Business Management, and South African Journal of Economic and Management Sciences and one local journal, South African Journal of Accounting Research (SAJAR).Results: The findings of this study will be of interest to journal editors, authors who would like their research to make an impact and be cited, as well as university research administrators and government higher education policy-makers.Conclusion: The analyses show that many of the highly cited articles have been published recently, boding well for the citation statistics of these journals in future and indicating some success in their efforts to internationalise. The citations of SAJAR lag behind the citations of the internationalising journals. Each journal publishes articles that cover different subject area(s). Within accounting research, accounting education and social and environmental accounting are popular areas of research, whereas taxation; the public sector; and management accounting are not well represented among published articles during 2015–2016 in these five journals. About half of all accounting articles claim their insights will contribute to the accounting literature, with much smaller percentages claiming to contribute to management, policy-making and practice. The most prolific authors and most prominent universities to some extent follow the most popular subject areas, with a social and environmental researcher, Warren Maroun, featuring strongly, and his university, the University of the Witwatersrand, being prominent. Large proportions of authors of 2015–2016 articles are from outside of Africa, speaking to the success of the internationalisation efforts of the internationalising journals, whereas SAJAR mostly publishes articles by African authors.

Utilising Building Component Data from BIM for Formwork Planning
Authors: Singh Manav Mahan , Sawhney Anil , Sharma Vaishnavi
Published: December 2017

Advancements in the computing realm have assisted the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry to progress significantly by automating several design tasks and activities. Building Information Modelling (BIM) authoring tools have played a significant role in automating design tasks and reducing the efforts required by the designer in redundant, repetitive or production-oriented activities. This paper explores one such approach that, with the help of BIM authoring tool and its Application Programming Interface (API), reduces the efforts expended on formwork design for concrete structures. The paper utilises the concept of using BIM data as input to compute the quantity of formwork, and generate visualisations and schedule of formwork. The developed approach first takes data input from semantic BIM to the API environment for computation and design of formwork systems, which is then placed within the BIM model, to generate visualisation and prepare schedules. The research work utilises a structural concrete wall as an example to demonstrate the presented approach. The approach will be influential in streamlining the formwork design process in the BIM environment and reducing efforts required by the designer and the planning engineer. Since the formwork elements are generated as 3-Dimensional (3D) solids and smart BIM elements, the generated model of formwork can be used for resolving clashes, scheduling, and resource planning.
Key Factors Affecting Construction Safety Performance in Developing Countries: Evidence from Cambodia
Authors: Durdyev Serdar , Mohamed Sherif , Lay Meng Leang , Ismail Syuhaida
Published: December 2017

Although proper safety management in construction is of utmost importance; anecdotal evidence suggests that safety is not adequately considered in many developing countries. This paper considers the key variables affecting construction safety performance in Cambodia. Using an empirical questionnaire survey targeting local construction professionals, respondents were invited to rate the level of importance of 30 variables identified from the seminal literature. The data set was subjected to factor analysis. Correlations between the variables show that five key factors underlie the challenges facing the local industry; management and organisation, resources, site management, cosmetic and workforce. It is found that the forefront construction professionals (top management and government authorities) should take more responsibilities for further improvements in safety performance on project sites. Findings and recommendations of this study may be useful to construction professional who are seeking ways to improve safety records in developing countries.

Abstract. The first stratospheric measurements of the diurnal variation in the inorganic bromine (Bry) reservoir species BrONO2 around sunrise and sunset are reported. Arctic flights of the balloon-borne Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS-B) were carried out from Kiruna (68° N, Sweden) in January 2010 and March 2011 inside the stratospheric polar vortices where diurnal variations of BrONO2 around sunrise have been observed. High nighttime BrONO2 volume mixing ratios of up to 21 pptv (parts per trillion by volume) were detected in late winter 2011 in the absence of polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs). In contrast, the amount of measured BrONO2 was significantly lower in January 2010 due to low available NO2 amounts (for the build-up of BrONO2), the heterogeneous destruction of BrONO2 on PSC particles, and the gas-phase interaction of BrO (the source to form BrONO2) with ClO. A further balloon flight took place at midlatitudes from Timmins (49° N, Canada) in September 2014. Mean BrONO2 mixing ratios of 22 pptv were observed after sunset in the altitude region between 21 and 29 km. Measurements are compared and discussed with the results of a multi-year simulation performed with the chemistry climate model ECHAM5/MESSy Atmospheric Chemistry (EMAC). The calculated temporal variation in BrONO2 largely reproduces the balloon-borne observations. Using the nighttime simulated ratio between BrONO2 and Bry, the amount of Bry observed by MIPAS-B was estimated to be about 21–25 pptv in the lower stratosphere.

Published: December 2017

Abstract. In this paper we describe the retrievals of atmospheric trace gases from near-infrared, high-resolution solar absorption spectroscopy measurements at the Lauder atmospheric research station in New Zealand and submitted to the Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON) archive. The Lauder site (45.034° S, 169.68° E, 370 m a.s.l.) is located within a sparsely populated region of the South Island of New Zealand and is sheltered from the prevailing wind direction by the Southern Alps, which gives the site a high number of clear-sky days and an air mass that is largely unmodified by regional anthropogenic sources. The Lauder TCCON archive consists of data from two instruments: a Bruker IFS 120HR from June 2004 to February 2010 and a Bruker IFS 125HR from February 2010 to present. The bias between the two instruments is assessed to be 0.068 % for CO2. Since measurements using the IFS 125HR began, the SD about the hourly mean has been better than 0.1 % for 96.81 % of CO2 column retrievals. The retrievals have been calibrated against in situ airborne measurements to correct for biases and provide traceability to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) scales with an accuracy of 0.1 % for CO2. The Lauder TCCON time series of retrieved dry-air mole fractions of CO2, CH4, N2O, HF, H2O, HDO and CO are available from the TCCON data archive. The DOIs arehttps://doi.org/10.14291/tccon.ggg2014.lauder01.R0/1149293 for the IFS 120HR datahttps://doi.org/10.14291/tccon.ggg2014.lauder02.R0/1149298 for the IFS 125HR data.
Koristocetus pescei gen. et sp. nov., a diminutive sperm whale (Cetacea: Odontoceti: Kogiidae) from the late Miocene of Peru
Authors: Collareta Alberto , Lambert Olivier , de Muizon Christian , Urbina Mario , Bianucci Giovanni
Published: December 2017

Abstract. Among odontocetes, members of the family Kogiidae (pygmy and dwarf sperm whales) are known as small-sized and in many respects enigmatic relatives of the great sperm whale Physeter macrocephalus. Most of the still scanty fossil record of Kogiidae is represented by isolated skulls and ear bones from Neogene deposits of the Northern Hemisphere, with the significant exception of Scaphokogia, a highly autapomorphic genus from late Miocene deposits of the Pisco Formation exposed along the southern coast of Peru. Here we report on a new fossil kogiid from Aguada de Lomas, a site where the late Miocene beds of the Pisco Formation are exposed. This specimen consists of an almost complete cranium representing a new taxon of Kogiidae: Koristocetus pescei gen. et sp. nov. Koristocetus mainly differs from extant Kogia spp. by displaying a larger temporal fossa and well-individualized dental alveoli on the upper jaws. Coupled with a relatively elongated rostrum, these characters suggest that Koristocetus retained some degree of raptorial feeding abilities, contrasting with the strong suction feeding specialization seen in Recent kogiids. Our phylogenetic analysis recognizes Koristocetus as the earliest branching member of the subfamily Kogiinae. Interestingly, Koristocetus shared the southern coast of present-day Peru with members of the genus Scaphokogia, whose unique convex rostrum and unusual neurocranial morphology seemingly indicate a peculiar foraging specialization that has still to be understood. In conclusion, Koristocetus evokes a long history of high diversity, morphological disparity, and sympatric habits in fossil kogiids, thus suggesting that our comprehension of the evolutionary history of pygmy and dwarf sperm whales is still far from being exhaustive.

Published: December 2017

Abstract. Our understanding of hydrological and chemical processes at the catchment scale is limited by our capacity to record the full breadth of the information carried by river chemistry, both in terms of sampling frequency and precision. Here, we present a proof-of-concept study of a lab in the field called the River Lab (RL), based on the idea of permanently installing a suite of laboratory instruments in the field next to a river. Housed in a small shed, this set of instruments performs analyses at a frequency of one every 40 min for major dissolved species (Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Cl−, SO42−, NO3−) through continuous sampling and filtration of the river water using automated ion chromatographs. The RL was deployed in the Orgeval Critical Zone Observatory, France for over a year of continuous analyses. Results show that the RL is able to capture long-term fine chemical variations with no drift and a precision significantly better than conventionally achieved in the laboratory (up to ±0.5 % for all major species for over a day and up to 1.7 % over 2 months). The RL is able to capture the abrupt changes in dissolved species concentrations during a typical 6-day rain event, as well as daily oscillations during a hydrological low-flow period of summer drought. Using the measured signals as a benchmark, we numerically assess the effects of a lower sampling frequency (typical of conventional field sampling campaigns) and of a lower precision (typically reached in the laboratory) on the hydrochemical signal. The high-resolution, high-precision measurements made possible by the RL open new perspectives for understanding critical zone hydro-bio-geochemical cycles. Finally, the RL also offers a solution for management agencies to monitor water quality in quasi-real time.
Conserving the Ogallala Aquifer in southwestern Kansas: from the wells to people, a holistic coupled natural–human model

Published: December 2017

Abstract. The impact of water policy on conserving the Ogallala Aquifer in Groundwater Management District 3 (GMD3) in southwestern Kansas is analyzed using a system-level theoretical approach integrating agricultural water and land use patterns, changing climate, economic trends, and population dynamics. In so doing, we (1) model the current hyper-extractive coupled natural–human (CNH) system, (2) forecast outcomes of policy scenarios transitioning the current groundwater-based economic system toward more sustainable paths for the social, economic, and natural components of the integrated system, and (3) develop public policy options for enhanced conservation while minimizing the economic costs for the region's communities. The findings corroborate previous studies showing that conservation often leads initially to an expansion of irrigation activities. However, we also find that the expanded presence of irrigated acreage reduces the impact of an increasingly drier climate on the region's economy and creates greater long-term stability in the farming sector along with increased employment and population in the region. On the negative side, conservation lowers the net present value of farmers' current investments and there is not a policy scenario that achieves a truly sustainable solution as defined by Peter H. Gleick. This study reinforces the salience of interdisciplinary linked CNH models to provide policy prescriptions to untangle and address significant environmental policy issues.
Landslide displacement prediction using the GA-LSSVM model and time series analysis: a case study of Three Gorges Reservoir, China
Authors: Wen Tao , Tang Huiming , Wang Yankun , Lin Chengyuan , Xiong Chengren
Published: December 2017

Abstract. Predicting landslide displacement is challenging, but accurate predictions can prevent casualties and economic losses. Many factors can affect the deformation of a landslide, including the geological conditions, rainfall and reservoir water level. Time series analysis was used to decompose the cumulative displacement of landslide into a trend component and a periodic component. Then the least-squares support vector machine (LSSVM) model and genetic algorithm (GA) were used to predict landslide displacement, and we selected a representative landslide with episodic movement deformation as a case study. The trend component displacement, which is associated with the geological conditions, was predicted using a polynomial function, and the periodic component displacement which is associated with external environmental factors, was predicted using the GA-LSSVM model. Furthermore, based on a comparison of the results of the GA-LSSVM model and those of other models, the GA-LSSVM model was superior to other models in predicting landslide displacement, with the smallest root mean square error (RMSE) of 62.4146 mm, mean absolute error (MAE) of 53.0048 mm and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 1.492 % at monitoring station ZG85, while these three values are 87.7215 mm, 74.0601 mm and 1.703 % at ZG86 and 49.0485 mm, 48.5392 mm and 3.131 % at ZG87. The results of the case study suggest that the model can provide good consistency between measured displacement and predicted displacement, and periodic displacement exhibited good agreement with trends in the major influencing factors.
An undercurrent off the east coast of Sri Lanka

Published: December 2017

Abstract. The existence of a seasonally varying undercurrent along 8° N off the east coast of Sri Lanka is inferred from shipboard hydrography, Argo floats, glider measurements, and two ocean general circulation model simulations. Together, they reveal an undercurrent below 100–200 m flowing in the opposite direction to the surface current, which is most pronounced during boreal spring and summer and switches direction between these two seasons. The volume transport of the undercurrent (200–1000 m layer) can be more than 10 Sv in either direction, exceeding the transport of 1–6 Sv carried by the surface current (0–200 m layer). The undercurrent transports relatively fresher water southward during spring, while it advects more saline water northward along the east coast of Sri Lanka during summer. Although the undercurrent is potentially a pathway of salt exchange between the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, the observations and the ocean general circulation models suggest that the salinity contrast between seasons and between the boundary current and interior is less than 0.09 in the subsurface layer, suggesting a small salt transport by the undercurrent of less than 4 % of the salinity deficit in the Bay of Bengal.
Modelling Ross Ice Shelf melting effect on the Southern Ocean in quasi-equilibrium
Authors: Liu Xiying
Published: December 2017

Abstract. To study the influence of basal melting of Ross Ice Shelf (BMR) on the Southern Ocean (ocean southward of 35° S) in quasi-equilibrium, numerical experiments with and without BMR effect have been performed with a global ocean-sea ice-ice shelf coupled model. In both experiments, the model started from a state of quasi-equilibrium ocean and was integrated for 500 years forced by CORE (Coordinated Ocean-ice Reference Experiment) normal year atmospheric fields. The simulation results of the last 100 years have been analysed. It’s shown that, the melt rate averaged over the entire Ross Ice Shelf is 0.253 m/a, which is associated with a freshwater flux of 3.15 mSv (1 mSv = 103 m3/s). The extra freshwater flux decreases the salinity in the Southern Ocean substantially whereas the effect of concurrent heat flux is not so significant except in the middle layer of water body (roughly from 1500 m to 3000 m). The decreased density due to BMR effect creates local circulation anomalies in the Ross Sea and nearby water with the help of ocean bathymetry. Through advection by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the flux anomaly from BMR gives rise to the increase of sea ice thickness and sea ice concentration in the Ross Sea adjacent to the coast and the ocean water westward. The warm advection and downwelling associated with the local circulation anomalies decrease the sea ice concentration in the rim of sea ice cover adjacent to open water in the Ross Sea in September. The decreased density weakens the sub-polar cell as well as the lower cell in the global residual meridional overturning circulation. And, northward meridional heat transport anomaly in most latitudes of the global ocean is accompanied accordingly.
Creolizing Collective Memory: Refusing the Settler Memory of the Reconstruction Era
Authors: Bruyneel Kevin
Published: December 2017

The collective memory of the Reconstruction era in US history is a good example of Jane Anna Gordon's notion of 'creolization' at work. I argue that this is an era that could do with even further creolizing by refusing the influence of settler memory. Settler memory refers to the capacity both to know and disavow the history and contemporary implications of genocidal violence toward Indigenous people and the accompanying land dispossession that serve as the fundamental bases for creating settler colonial nations-states. One of the most important works on the Reconstruction Era is W.E.B. Du Bois’ canonical text, Black Reconstruction in America: 1860–1880, published in 1935. I examine both the creolizing elements of DuBois' argument and also suggest how attention to settler memory can further creolize our grasp of this period through a re-reading of his text and putting it into the context of other developments occuring during the years he examines.

O mercado do peixe ornamental exige um animal com tamanho adequado em um período curto de produção, para atender as exigências nutricionais estratégias devem ser implantadas, como a utilização de enzimas exógenas nas rações. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida com o objetivo de avaliar a influencia da suplementação enzimática no desempenho do peixe ornamental guppy. Foram testadas duas dietas, sendo uma suplementada com as enzimas exógenas protease, fitase e alfa-amilase. Foram avaliados: o peso final, ganho de peso, conversão alimentar, comprimento total e padrão, ganho em comprimento total e padrão, altura, largura, taxa de crescimento específico; taxa de desenvolvimento específico e fator de condição de Fulton. A suplementação enzimática influenciou de maneira positiva o crescimento e desenvolvimento dos peixes ornamentais guppys.

O objetivo foi avaliar a adição de simbiótico em rações para leitões na fase de creche com desafio nutricional. Foram utilizados 84 leitões, machos, castrados, em arranjo fatorial 2x2 (Dieta e Simbiótico), com 7 repetições e 3 animais por repetição. Tratamentos: DAD (dieta de alta digestibilidade), DBD (dieta de baixa digestibilidade), DAD+S (dieta de alta digestibilidade com simbiótico) e DBD+S (dieta de baixa digestibilidade com simbiótico). Variáveis estudas: ganho de peso diário (GPD), consumo médio de ração (CMR), conversão alimentar (CA) e frequência de fezes. Os parâmetros de desempenho foram comparados com o teste de Dunnett; considerando como controles a DAD e ausência de simbiótico. Para efeito da dieta, não foi observado diferença dos 21 aos 42 dias de idade, no entanto a DBD resultou em menor GPD (P<0,1) dos 42 aos 63 e menor CMR e GPD no período total (P<0,1). Por outro lado, a adição do simbiótico piorou (P<0,1) o CMR e o GPD dos 21 aos 42, o GPD e a CA dos 42 aos 63 e no período total (P<0,1). Na interação (dieta x simbiótico), dos 21 aos 42 dias de idade foi verificado melhor GPD e CMR no grupo com a DAD; enquanto, dos 42 aos 63, é observado piora (P<0,1) no GPD nos grupos com adição de simbiótico e piora na CA apenas no grupo DAD+S (P<0,1). No período total a DAD resultou em maior GPD (P<0,1). Quanto a frequência por tipo de fezes, o grupo com a DBD apresentou menor frequência do tipo normal e maior frequência do tipo aquosa (p<0,05). A utilização de dietas composta por ingredientes de alta digestibilidade é importante para o melhor GPD e CMR em fase de creche, enquanto que a adição do simbiótico estudado, em geral piorou o desempenho em ambos as dietas, podendo ainda aumentar a incidência de diarreia em leitões quando associado com DBD.

ESTRUTURA DO ESTRATO LENHOSO DE UMA COMUNIDADE ARBUSTIVA FECHADA SOBRE CORDÃO ARENOSO NA RESTINGA DA MARAMBAIA - RJ
Authors: Dias Henrique Machado , Araujo Dorothy Sue Dunn de
Published: December 2017

O presente estudo teve por objetivo descrever florística e estruturalmente o estrato lenhoso de uma comunidade arbustiva fechada sobre cordão arenoso na Restinga da Marambaia. Para isso, utilizou-se metodologia de intercepto de linha, em que em 1170 m de amostragem foram inventariados 1938 indivíduos lenhosos ≥0,50 m de altura, distribuída em 73 espécies e 30 famílias. Famílias com maiores VI foram Myrtaceae (21%), Nyctaginaceae (7%), Malvaceae (7%). Myrtaceae teve maior riqueza (15sp.) e número de indivíduos (379). Espécies com maior VI foram Guapira opposita, Maytenus obtusifolia, Pavonia alnifolia, Aspidosperma parvifolium, Eugenia copacabanensis, Myrrhinium atropurpureum, Manilkara subsericea, Ouratea cuspidata, Erythroxylum ovalifolium. A diversidade foi H’=3,49 e equidade, J=0,81. A similaridade com mesmo tipo de vegetação em Marica - RJ foi CS=0,37 e CN=0,15. Constatou-se similaridade relativamente alta (CS=0,62) entre esta e uma floresta de duna na Marambaia, indicando forte ligação florística entre elas. A comunidade analisada foi classificada como arbustiva fechada de Myrtaceae por atender a critérios florísticos, fisionômicos e estruturais. Embora existam semelhanças em relação à riqueza e VI de espécies de Myrtaceae entre Marambaia e Maricá, a similaridade entre ambas formações é baixa, em termos qualitativos e quantitativos, demonstrando uma heterogeneidade ao longo do litoral. Isto dificulta a ampla utilização da classificação nomenclatural das comunidades de restinga.
Les élections partielles au Québec

Published: December 2017

Les élections partielles ont-elles les mêmes caractéristiques et suivent-elles les mêmes tendances que les élections générales ? Nous proposons une analyse du taux de participation et de la performance des petits partis lors des élections partielles québécoises depuis 1970. Nous examinons également la performance des députés élus lors de partielles aux élections générales subséquentes. Finalement, nous vérifions si les élections complémentaires constituent, comme plusieurs le pensent, des référendums sur le gouvernement. En bref, nous tentons de déterminer les dynamiques électorales propres aux élections partielles ainsi que leur importance dans la vie politique québécoise.

¿Nuevos “clásicos básicos” en educación musical? Audición, canonización y patrimonialización de las músicas populares urbanas en (con)textos didácticos específicos
Authors: GARCIA-PEINAZO Diego
Published: December 2017

La necesidad de inclusión de las músicas populares urbanas en el ámbito educativo ha sido reivindicada por su potencial pedagógico en las etapas primaria, secundaria y superior. Estas músicas constituyen un importante reto para la educación musical, ya que traen consigo la renovación tanto de planteamientos teóricos, como de estrategias metodológicas a desarrollar, en tanto dichas expresiones presentan lenguajes musicales específicos. Factores como las industrias culturales, el contexto musical familiar, los intercambios comunicativos entre músicos populares, las políticas culturales, el currículo o los materiales didácticos, entre otros, son elementos que moldean formas concretas de “educación musical popular”. Este artículo presenta algunos de los enfoques predominantes en el estudio de las relaciones entre músicas populares y educación, y reflexiona críticamente en torno a cómo la idea del canon y patrimonio articulan y condicionan los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje de las músicas populares urbanas, atendiendo a sus implicaciones en la audición y análisis de estas músicas. Además, se propone la adaptación de dos metodologías de análisis de la música popular, basadas en la significación musical y en el análisis e interpretación de la canción grabada, respectivamente, a la educación musical, a fin de ampliar el paradigma teórico y metodológico de la audición de estas músicas en el aula. Por último, se reflexiona acerca de la necesidad de una pedagogía musical popular activa que supere inercias en la práctica educativa, sitúe al docente como mediador del proceso de aprendizaje y profundice en las vinculaciones entre música y cultura.

In the last decade, apple has been intensively cultivated in the western coast of Albania. The scope of this research was to study the influence of M9 rootstock on the reproductive behaviour of apple cultivars ‘M. Gala’, ‘Golden Delicious’, ‘Starking’, ‘Fuji’ and ‘Pink Lady’. The trial was conducted from 2010 – 2011 in 5-year old orchards with 2,250 trees/ha grown as French axe and in full production located in Lushnja. The following indicators were measured: diameter of two main branches, number of fruits/branch, fruit growth dynamic and sugar content (%). Global radiation, temperature and humidity were recorded. The reproduction behaviour has also been measured by fruiting spurs in the general structure of the canopy as well as the number of fruits formed for each cultivar. The results have shown that in terms of fruit set, cultivars are ranked as follows: ‘M. Gala’ with the highest number of fruits, then ‘Golden Delicious’, ‘Fuji’, ‘Pink Lady’ and ‘Starking’, respectively. The dynamic of fruit dropping shows that ‘Starking’, having the lowest fruit set, after the June drop is more stable while ‘M. Gala’, with the highest fruit set, besides an abundant June drop, had another drop in July.  This is due to higher competition among the fruits and failure of the rootstock to supply the adequate quantities of sap. In terms of fruit growth dynamic, it was observed that intensive growth was measured for all the cultivars during the end of July after which fruit growth slowed down. Changes between cultivars were observed in relation to the maturation period of each cultivar, with ‘M. Gala’ maturing in August, ‘Fuji’ and ‘Pink Lady’ in October and November. ‘Starking and ‘Golden Delicious’ cultivars had a more rapid maturation (20 September), accompanied with a higher sugar content which is far more related to climatic factor rather than M9 rootstock. In conclusion, it was found that the cultivars under study have different reproductive behaviour with M9 rootstock. It can also be stated that ‘Starking’ is not appropriate for this coastal region due to inadequate fruiting behaviour.
