Konservatuvar Eğitiminin Felsefi Temellerinin Gelişim ve Değişiminde Sosyal Psikoloji Biliminin Yeri ve Önemi
Authors: TÜRKMEN Uğur , YILMAZ Muzaffer Soner , YILMAZ Hakan
Published: October 2020

Konser salonlarında bireylerin yer tercihleri müzik topluluğu üyelerinin, özellikle amatör toplulukların üyelerinin elbise tercihleri, genel, amatör ve profesyonel müzik eğitimi alan öğrencilerin üst seviye eser çalma istekleri, ülkemizdeki geleneksel veya evrensel oda müziği toplulukları sayısının azlığı, icra pratiklerindeki değişkenlikler, grup üyelerinin birbirleri hakkındaki düşüncelerinin, tutum ve davranışlarının topluluğa etkisi, bu etkilerin psikolojik temelleri, davranışa yön veren amaçlar, inançlar, çevreden etkilenen veya çevreyi etkileyen müzisyen davranışları ve daha birçok olay ve örnek. Sosyal psikoloji bu ve benzeri olayları bireysel, kişilerarası ve grup düzeyinde inceler ve açıklamaya çalışır.
Tarihsel süreç içerisinde konservatuvar eğitimi alan öğrencilerden beklenen tek davranış biçiminin “çalacaksın ve söyleyeceksin” olduğunu söylemek pek de yanlış olmaz. Bununla birlikte bu anlayış ve buna bağlı olarak gelişen gelenek ve görenekler zaman içerisinde sıkıntıları da beraberinde getirmiştir. Oysa bireyin davranışları, ikna ediciliği, gücü, sosyal etkisi, itaat durumu, önyargıları, ayrımcılık yapıp yapmadığı, sosyal algısı, saldırganlık durumu, özgeci davranış özellikleri, tutumları ve tutumlarındaki değişimler, liderlik durumu, kitlesel davranışlarındaki rolü, diğer bireyler ve gruplarla ilişkileri gibi birçok konu konservatuvar eğitimi sürecinde ihmal edilmektedir. Bu ve benzeri konulara konservatuvar eğitimcilerinin, yöneticilerinin, öğrencilerin ve ailelerin yaklaşımı istenmeyen sonuçların ortaya çıkmasına yol açmaktadır. “Bu konular üzerinde durulması, bilimsel çalışmalar yapılması konservatuvar eğitiminin niteliğini artırabilir mi?” Bu problem üzerine kurgulanan çalışmanın kavramsal çerçevesinde, güdüsel, davranışçı ve bilişsel yaklaşımlar üzerinde durulmakta, bu yaklaşımların konservatuvar eğitimi ile ilişkisi kurulmaktadır. Nitel, betimsel ve tarama modelini esas alan çalışmada veriler yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniğiyle toplanmış ve nitel tekniklere göre analiz edilmiştir.
Sosyal Psikoloji biliminin konservatuvar eğitimindeki rolü ve önemi üzerinde durulan çalışmanın alana özgü olduğu ve farklı bir bakış açısı ile ilgi çekeceği düşünülmektedir.

Introducción: a nivel mundial los indicadores muestran que las tasas de muerte materna son mayores en países pobres. Ecuador está representado por el 23,9 % de esta población vulnerable en donde los factores sociodemográficos y clínicos afectan la salud de la mujer durante el embarazo, parto y postparto. Por lo cual, es necesaria la validación de instrumentos de medición documental que contribuyan a mejorar la salud materna. Objetivo: Validar los instrumentos IMAO-1-2020, IMAO2-2020 que nos permitirán identificar los factores sociodemográficos y clínicos que inciden en la muerte materna. Metodología: Es una investigación tipo de campo, de corte trasversal de tipo exploratorio, evaluativa, de diseño no experimental. En ambos instrumentos se aplicó como criterio de validación el juicio de expertos. Para ello se realizó un cuestionario que fue aplicado mediante la técnica de la encuesta a 15 embarazada y, además, se elaboró una entrevista que fue aplicada a 2 embarazadas. Resultados: En la calificación de expertos se obtuvo una puntuación de confiabilidad de 91,66% para el primer instrumento, alcual además, se le calculó el α de Cronbach obteniendo una confiabilidad del 0,89 equivalente a bueno, a través del software SPSS 22.0. La calificación del segundo instrumento obtuvo una puntuación de confiabilidad de 95,46% por los expertos. Conclusión: Se concluye que los instrumentos son aptos para valorar los factores sociodemográficos y clínicos que inciden en la muerte materna.
Gemetastaseerde urachuskanker
Authors: Devos J. , Debacker T. , Toussaint N. , Arnold D. , Schrijvers D.
Published: October 2020

Een 53-jarige man werd doorverwezen door de huisarts vanwege pijnloze macroscopische hematurie. Hij bleek recent ook 5 kg vermagerd te zijn. Via oppuntstelling en stagering door middel van een CT-scan van het abdomen, een cystoscopie en een PET-CT-scan rees het vermoeden van urachuskanker. Een echografisch geleide biopsie van een supraclaviculaire pathologisch vergrote klier links bevestigde deze diagnose. Palliatieve chemotherapie met oxaliplatine, 5-fluoruracil (5FU) en levofolinezuur (FOLFOX) werd opgestart. Zes maanden na het opstarten van de behandeling vertoonde de patiënt complete respons.

Urachuskanker is een zeldzame ziekte die zich vaak aandient aan de hand van pijnloze macroscopische hematurie. Indien er op beeldvorming een massa wordt gezien ter hoogte van de anterieure blaaswand of het blaasdak, moet men steeds denken aan deze diagnose. Een standaardbehandeling voor deze ziekte bestaat tot op heden echter niet.
Symptomatische spiermetastase als zeldzame presentatie van recidiverend maagadenocarcinoom
Authors: Bosch S. , Loos P.-J. , Huybrechts X.
Published: October 2020

Een 63-jarige man met een voorgeschiedenis van een maagadenocarcinoom negen jaar eerder, waarvoor hij een subtotale gastrectomie onderging en adjuvante chemo- en radiotherapie kreeg, kwam naar de raadpleging naar aanleiding van nachtelijke pijn mediaal van de linkerscapula. Een PET-CT-scan ter stagering toonde een spiermetastase aan in de dorsale rugmusculatuur, overeenkomend met de aangegeven pijnlocatie.
Naar aanleiding van deze casus werd er een literatuurstudie uitgevoerd naar de incidentie en de kliniek van spiermetastasen, die 213 artikels includeerde. Longtumoren waren de meest voorkomende primaire tumoren onderliggend aan spiermetastasen (20,8%), gevolgd door gastro-intestinale (19,5%) en urologische tumoren (15,3%). Wat betreft de locatie van de spiermetastasen, situeerde 47,5% zich in de ledematen, 24,2% in de romp en 16,1% in de hoofd-halsregio. Bij de meerderheid van de patiënten waren pijn en een voelbare zwelling de aanmeldingsklachten. Een gouden standaard voor de diagnostiek en de behandeling van spiermetastasen bestaat momenteel nog niet.

Published: October 2020

Het Merkelcelcarcinoom (MCC) is een zeldzame agressieve huidtumor met hoge mortaliteit. De laatste jaren wordt er een toename geobserveerd van de incidentie door betere identificatie en toename van de risicofactoren. Vroegtijdige detectie en behandeling zijn dan ook aangewezen. Het Merkelcelcarcinoom kan ontstaan via (ultraviolet) UV-gemedieerde mutaties, alsook door het Merkelcelpolyomavirus (MCV of MCPyV). Verder onderzoek hieromtrent heeft duidelijkheid kunnen brengen in de onderliggende immuunescapemechanismen en in nieuwe behandelingsmodaliteiten.
Publicatie van de nieuwe TNM-classificatie (maligne tumoren geclassificeerd volgens tumorgrootte, getroffen lymfenodi en metastase) in de door het American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) uitgebrachte Cancer Staging Manual (achtste editie) (1) heeft mede geleid tot aanpassing in stadiëring. Hierdoor vindt er een nauwkeurigere oppuntstelling plaats door middel van sentinelklierprocedure en beeldvorming. Door het opsporen van micrometastasen is er een betere keuze van behandeling en verbetering van de prognose.
Echografisch vermoeden van papillair microcarcinoom van de schildklier: wat nu?
Authors: Vanaken L. , Decallonne B.
Published: October 2020

Wereldwijd neemt de incidentie van schildkliercarcinoom toe, maar de mortaliteit blijft stabiel en zeer laag. Die stijging in incidentie is in hoofdzaak toe te schrijven aan de toegenomen detectie van kleine schildkliercarcinomen van het papillaire type met maximale diameter van 10 mm, papillaire microcarcinomen (PMC). De toename in opsporing is toe te schrijven aan het frequentere gebruik van beeldvormende onderzoeken. Daardoor rijst de vraag of er mogelijks sprake is van overdiagnose. Ondanks de beschikbaarheid van diverse richtlijnen blijft de concrete aanpak bij echografisch vermoeden van een papillair microcarcinoom nog te weinig eenduidig, waardoor de clinicus voor een dilemma wordt gesteld. In dit artikel wordt een overzicht gegeven van de huidige kennis omtrent papillaire microcarcinomen van de schildklier. Achtereenvolgens wordt ingegaan op de definitie, de incidentie, de klinische relevantie en de diagnostische en therapeutische aanpak van deze zeer laagrisicoschildklierkankers. Tot slot worden enkele nieuwe inzichten in de aanpak van PMC besproken.
Delineation of Groundwater Potential Zone and Flood Risk Zone in Cachar District area,India
Authors: Ashwini Kumar , Pathan Shehnaj Ahmed , Sil Briti Sundar
Published: October 2020

Cachar district is one of the most populated districts of Assam, India. The region has been exposed to frequent catastrophic flood during monsoon which is responsible for sufferings of the community. The uncertain or shifting pattern of rain in recent times apart from usual monsoon has further escalated the woes of this area. The LOOK EAST
POLICY and quest for the development of this part is causing rapid industrialisation and urbanisation, which demands an additional source of freshwater opposed to traditional demand in irrigation and other domestic needs in this region. This demand for freshwater is vertical in the graph and continuously rising. Consequently, the source of freshwater in the area is depleting and further mismanagement will be devastative for resources of water in the entire district. To satisfy the demand and to ensure sustainable development in the region, there is an urgent need for its conservation and
management aimed to ameliorate water resources. With this idea behind the present investigation is to pinpoint flood risk zones as well as to demonstrate the variability in groundwater prospects in Cachar District, using geospatial technology. The study is based on thematic maps of Land Use/Land Cover (LULC), elevation, soil type, rainfall,
lineament density, drainage density, slope, and aspect in a Geographical Information System (GIS) environment. The groundwater potential zone (hereinafter, GWPZ) areas have been classified into five zones, viz; Very low, Poor, Moderate, Good, and Very Good. About 74.37% of the total area comes under Moderate GWPZ. To identify Flood Risk
areas, the whole district has been categorised into Very Low, Low, Moderate, High, and Very High, risk flood zones. About 50.47% of the total area of Cachar District has been found under Moderate flood risk zone. The study at hand may help decision-makers in identifying the GWPZ and earmarking High-Risk Flood Zones for the planning of
integrated water resources management.

This essay studies the influence of neosufism on the continuity oftasawuf doctrine and new tarekats emerged during the last twocenturies of medieval Islamic period. The raise of the fourteethcentury neosufism movement had greatly influenced the nature andthe characteristics of the new tasawuf and tarekats of the succeedingera. In addition to giving impetus in ‘purification’ of the doctrines toavoid the tasawuf and tarekat from intrusion of un-Islamic elements,the neosufisme has provided with guidance so that they should bekept under the syariat control. This new tendency has forced thetasawuf and tarekats to weaken their support to the doctrin ofimmanation of God toward His creatures, and replaces it with thetranscendent doctrine. The return to the original stipulations of theQur’an and the Sunna liberated the tasawuf and tarekats from theirun islamic characters. The Neosufism movement had succeeded inchanging the orientation of the new tasawuf and tarekas to be moreresponsive to the worldly interest.

Dakwah Moderasi di Tengah Pandemi Covid 19
Authors: Muhamad Bisri Mustofa, Siti Wuryan
Published: October 2020

Moderation is an effort to give someone freedom in expressing all aspects of their lives, by promoting the foundation of tolerance, unity, togetherness, diversity, sincerity, honesty, and middle ground (wasathiyah). Da'wah in its context has a close relationship with moderation, because in Da'wah also known as the 3 methods of Da'wah approach namely: bil hikmah, mauidzoh hasanah, and mujadalah. Bil wisdom (wise) puts forward wise things, can put things with full justice this principle in line with moderation. Then mauidzoh hasanah (in a better way), every behavior takes precedence through a better way, and finally is mujadalah (discussing) this indicates that everything needs to be found a way out by prioritizing deliberation and musfakat, especially in carrying out preaching. Apart from all aspects of the da'wah method and substance of moderation, the covid 19 pandemic caused a new chapter in the da'wah moderation, by carrying out physical distancing, clean living, and wearing masks. Da'wah moderation is implemented through online technology (in the network) that can access all the mad'u through applications such as Zoom Cloud Meeting, Google Meeting, Webbex, Skype, and others.
Fungsi Masjid Terhadap Pengelolaan Pengembangan Masyarakat Islam (Pengembangan Keumatan)

Published: October 2020

The mosque has a very large role and function in all dimensions of Muslim life. Where the mosque is a symbol that illustrates the strength map of the people and can unite and realize every meaning of goodness. Without mosque, the unity of the Muslims will be easily broken even divorced. The mosque is not just a place of worship, but all aspects of life problems of the people and the development and fostering of the community (people) of Islam can be resolved from the mosque. However, Along with the times, the mosque experienced a shift in values, where the mosque is no longer functioned as a function that has been exemplified by the Prophet Muhammad Saw. Based on this concern, some Muslims are aware and care about the condition of the mosque that began to be abandoned by the people, and it can be realized that lately there have been emerging movements that have encouraged the functioning of the mosque as it was in the early days of Islam. As an effort in managing the mosque by implementing several functions such as: planning, organizing, leadership actualization, supervision and evaluation become a structured management process. And this matter is combined with the development of human rights or the development of Islamic society. Awareness of the people of worship hereafter and balancing faith in worldly worship (capacital social).
Mapeamento das teses brasileiras relacionadas à formação continuada de professores que ensinam matemática: período 2007-2018
Authors: Silva Anderson Adelmo , Bianchini Barbara Lutaif
Published: October 2020

Neste artigo temos por objetivo apresentar o mapeamento das teses brasileiras produzidas no período de 2007 a 2018 que abordaram, direta ou indiretamente, a formação continuada de professores que ensinam matemática. Analisamos vinte e oito teses produzidas em diferentes programas de pós-graduação por meio de seus títulos, palavras-chave, resumos e dados catalográficos. Apresentamos resultados referentes à área de concentração dos programas de pós-graduação, tipo de Universidade, ano de publicação, região do país, modelo de formação (presencial, semipresencial ou EaD), sujeitos, identificação de categorias do conhecimento docente e relação com a identidade docente. A análise revelou que vinte e duas teses foram realizadas em programas de Universidades Paulistas distribuídas em particulares e públicas (estadual e federal).  Com foco na relação entre academia e escola básica, concluímos que há um interesse pontual da academia e não um espaço consolidado de produção de conhecimento para ambos os setores. Evidenciamos, ainda, que a formação continuada é utilizada como estratégia para o desenvolvimento do Conhecimento pedagógico e o Conhecimento pedagógico do conteúdo, em sua grande maioria (22 casos), ocorreu de forma presencial. Em relação aos sujeitos, observamos um equilíbrio entre o número de formações para os professores especialistas e generalistas, treze para cada e apenas uma trabalhou com os dois tipos de professores, ou seja, é uma tendência oferecer as formações separadamente. Uma lacuna é de que as teses estudadas não abordaram o Conhecimento do conteúdo, o Conhecimento dos alunos e o Conhecimento dos fins educacionais, assim como seus fundamentos filosóficos e históricos.
De ‘Triple Depreciation Line’: een effectief wapen tegen greenwashing of een nieuwe accounting fata morgana?
Authors: Willekes Egbert , Jonker Jan , Wagensveld Koos
Published: October 2020

Steeds meer bedrijven publiceren naast hun financieel jaarverslag een integrated report, waarin naast financiële waarde ook over maatschappelijke waarden wordt gerapporteerd. Uit een rapport van KPMG (2017) blijkt dat 93% van de grootste bedrijven van de wereld een integrated report publiceert. Met de opkomst van integrated reporting is hier echter ook de nodige kritiek op ontstaan. Zo zouden bedrijven het integrated report vooral gebruiken om zich duurzamer voor te doen dan ze daadwerkelijk zijn (‘greenwashing’). In dit artikel wordt een analyse van de Triple Depreciation Line (TDL) beschreven. De TDL is een raamwerk, waarmee in potentie (voor een deel) tegemoet wordt gekomen aan de huidige kritiek op integrated reporting zoals bijvoorbeeld ‘greenwashing’. In dit artikel concluderen wij dat de TDL in zijn huidige opzet in de praktijk moeilijk toepasbaar is en doen wij aanbevelingen voor een meer praktische toepassing van dit raamwerk. Dit leidt tot een aangepast TDL-raamwerk, waarbij wij beargumenteren dat de toepassing van dit aangepaste raamwerk de potentie heeft om de transitie naar een duurzame economie aanzienlijk te versnellen.
The Correlation between HPV Vaccination Rate and Income Inequality
Authors: Xie Zhifei
Published: October 2020

According to the 2018 National Immunization Survey - Teen (NIS-Teen), the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination coverage in the U.S. increased from 48.6% to 51.1%.[1] Certain factors contribute to disparity between teenagers receiving HPV vaccination.[1]The factors are geography, race, gender, education level, household income, and etc. Within these factors, household income and income inequality were chosen to be the focus of this study. The relationship between HPV vaccination coverage in the U.S., the household income of interviewed individuals, and the Gini index in the U.S. have been studied in RStudio [2]. By merging the NIS-Teen data of vaccination rate and Gini index data in RStudio, charts and graphs are formed to illustrate the relationship between HPV vaccination rate and income inequality. There seem to be limited correlations between vaccination rate and Gini index, but unexpected connections between vaccination rate and household income have been found.

Policy makers gradually developed new rules to achieve both trade and human rights objectives. England signed treaties with the U.S., Portugal, Denmark and Sweden to ban trade in slaves ect. The trade labour linkage has a long history. It has become one of the most contentious contemporary issues in trade and labour policy circles and debates.
Measuring E-Government Development: The Haves and the Have-nots
Authors: Kabbar Eltahir F
Published: October 2020

Since 2003, the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) continued to measure the e-government development across the world using a range of indices. The UNDESA produces a biannual report that ranks UN member states according to their most recent e-government development indices. These reports are widely used by e-government officials to benchmark their country’s performance. The aim of this paper is to investigate whether there has been a significant change in the rankings of the 191 countries that participated in both the 2005 and 2016 surveys using quantitative research methods.
Distinct responses of Asian summer monsoon to black carbon aerosols and greenhouse gases

Published: October 2020

Abstract. Black carbon (BC) aerosols emitted from natural and anthropogenic sources
induce positive radiative forcing and global warming,
which in turn significantly affect the Asian summer monsoon (ASM).
However, many aspects of the BC effect on the ASM remain elusive
and largely inconsistent among previous studies, which is strongly dependent on
different low-level thermal feedbacks over the Asian continent and the surrounding ocean.
This study examines the response of the ASM to BC forcing in comparison with
the effect of doubled greenhouse gases (GHGs) by analyzing the Precipitation Driver
Response Model Intercomparison Project (PDRMIP) simulations
under an extremely high BC level (10 times modern global BC emissions or concentrations,
labeled BC×10) from nine global climate models (GCMs).
The results show that although BC and GHGs both enhance the ASM precipitation minus evaporation (P−E; a 13.6 % increase for BC forcing and 12.1 % for GHGs from the nine-model ensemble, respectively),
there exists a much larger uncertainty in changes in ASM P−E induced by BC than by GHGs.
The summer P−E is increased by 7.7 % to 15.3 % due to these two forcings
over three subregions, including East Asian, South Asian and western North Pacific monsoon regions.
Further analysis of moisture budget reveals distinct mechanisms controlling the increases in ASM P−E induced by BC and GHGs.
The change in ASM P−E by BC is dominated by the dynamic effect due to the enhanced large-scale monsoon circulation,
whereas the GHG-induced change is dominated by the thermodynamic effect through increasing atmospheric water vapor.
Radiative forcing of BC significantly increases the upper-level atmospheric temperature
over the Asian region to enhance the upper-level meridional land–sea thermal gradient (MLOTG),
resulting in a northward shift of the upper-level subtropical westerly jet
and an enhancement of the low-level monsoon circulation,
whereas radiative forcing of GHGs significantly increases the tropical upper-level temperature,
which reduces the upper-level MLOTG and suppresses the low-level monsoonal circulation.
Hence, our results indicate a different mechanism of BC climate effects
under the extremely high BC level: that BC forcing significantly
enhances the upper-level atmospheric temperature over the Asian region,
determining ASM changes, instead of low-level thermal feedbacks as indicated by previous studies.

Abstract. Recent studies have shown the importance of new particle formation (NPF) to global cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) production, as well as to air
pollution in megacities. In addition to the necessary presence of low-volatility vapors that can form new aerosol particles, both numerical and
observational studies have shown that the dynamics of the planetary boundary layer (BL) plays an important role in NPF. Evidence from field
observations suggests that roll vortices might be favorable for inducing NPF in a convective BL. However, direct observations and estimates of the
potential importance of this phenomenon to the production of new aerosol particles are lacking. Here we show that rolls frequently induce NPF bursts
along the horizontal circulations and that the small clusters and particles originating from these localized bursts grow in size similar to
particles typically ascribed to atmospheric NPF that occur almost homogeneously at a regional scale. We outline a method to identify roll-induced
NPF from measurements and, based on the collected data, estimate the impact of roll vortices on the overall aerosol particle production due to NPF
at a boreal forest site (83 % ± 34 % and 26 % ± 8 % overall enhancement in particle formation for 3 and 10 nm
particles, respectively). We conclude that the formation of roll vortices should be taken into account when estimating particle number budgets in
the atmospheric BL.
Identification of lower-order inositol phosphates (IP5 and IP4) in soil extracts as determined by hypobromite oxidation and solution 31P NMR spectroscopy
Authors: Reusser Jolanda E. , Verel René , Zindel Daniel , Frossard Emmanuel , McLaren Timothy I.
Published: October 2020

Abstract. Inositol phosphates (IPs) are a major pool of identifiable
organic phosphorus (P) in soil. However, insight into their distribution and
cycling in soil remains limited, particularly of lower-order IP (IP5
and IP4). This is because the quantification of lower-order IP
typically requires a series of chemical extractions, including hypobromite
oxidation to isolate IP, followed by chromatographic separation. Here, for
the first time, we identify the chemical nature of organic P in four soil
extracts following hypobromite oxidation using solution 31P NMR
spectroscopy and transverse relaxation (T2) experiments. Soil samples
analysed include A horizons from a Ferralsol (Colombia), a Cambisol and a
Gleysol from Switzerland, and a Cambisol from Germany. Solution 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
spectra of the phosphomonoester region in soil extracts following
hypobromite oxidation revealed an increase in the number of sharp signals
(up to 70) and an on average 2-fold decrease in the concentration of the
broad signal compared to the untreated soil extracts. We identified the
presence of four stereoisomers of IP6, four stereoisomers of IP5,
and scyllo-IP4. We also identified for the first time two isomers of
myo-IP5 in soil extracts: myo-(1,2,4,5,6)-IP5 and
myo-(1,3,4,5,6)-IP5. Concentrations of total IP ranged from 1.4 to
159.3 mg P per kg soil across all soils, of which between 9 % and 50 %
were comprised of lower-order IP. Furthermore, we found that the T2
times, which are considered to be inversely related to the tumbling of a
molecule in solution and hence its molecular size, were significantly
shorter for the underlying broad signal compared to for the sharp signals
(IP6) in soil extracts following hypobromite oxidation. In summary, we
demonstrate the presence of a plethora of organic P compounds in soil
extracts, largely attributed to IPs of various orders, and provide new insight
into the chemical stability of complex forms of organic P associated with soil
organic matter.
Technical note: AI-Track-tive: automated fission track recognition using computer vision (Artificial
Intelligence)
Authors: Nachtergaele Simon , De Grave Johan
Published: October 2020

Abstract. Artificial intelligence techniques such as deep neural networks and computer vision are developed for fission track recognition and included in a computer program for the first time. These deep neural networks use the Yolov3 object detection algorithm, which is currently one of the most powerful and fastest object recognition algorithms. These deep neural networks can be used in new software called AI-Track-tive. The developed program successfully finds most of the fission tracks in the microscope images, however, the user still needs to supervise the automatic counting. The success rates of the automatic recognition range from 70 % to 100 % depending on the areal track densities in apatite and (muscovite) external detector. The success rate generally decreases for images with high areal track densities, because overlapping tracks are less easily recognizable for computer vision techniques.
Wind farm layout optimization using pseudo-gradients
Authors: Quaeghebeur Erik , Bos René , Zaaijer Michiel B.
Published: October 2020

Abstract. This paper presents a heuristic building block for wind farm layout optimization algorithms. For each pair of wake-interacting turbines, a vector is defined. Its magnitude is proportional to the wind speed deficit of the waked turbine due to the waking turbine. Its direction is chosen from the inter-turbine, downwind, or crosswind directions. These vectors can be combined for all waking or waked turbines and averaged over the wind resource to obtain a vector, a pseudo-gradient, that can take the role of gradient in classical gradient-following optimization algorithms. A proof-of-concept optimization algorithm demonstrates how such vectors can be used for computationally efficient wind farm layout optimization. Results for various sites, both idealized and realistic, illustrate the types of layout generated by the proof-of-concept algorithm. These results provide a basis for a discussion of the heuristic's strong points–speed, competitive reduction in wake losses, flexibility – and weak points – partial blindness to the objective and dependence on the starting layout. The computational speed of pseudo-gradient-based optimization is an enabler for analyses that would otherwise be computationally impractical. Pseudo-gradient-based optimization has already been used by industry in the design of large-scale (offshore) wind farms.
Personalised Emails in First-Year Mathematics: Exploring a Scalable Strategy for Improving Student Experiences and Outcomes
Authors: Dart Sarah , Spratt Belinda
Published: October 2020

Widening participation initiatives in higher education have grown overall student numbers while also increasing the diversity of student cohorts. Consequently, enhancing student experiences and outcomes has become increasingly challenging. This study implemented personalised emails in two first-year mathematics courses as a scalable strategy for supporting students with diverse needs. Impact on student experience and outcomes was assessed through surveying and statistical comparisons to previous cohorts. It was found that students perceived the personalised emails favourably and believed the intervention would contribute to them achieving better grades. This translated to a statistically significant improvement in both student experience and academic performance in one of the courses. The results imply that personalised emails are well-suited to courses taken in students’ first semesters of university study, aiding those transitioning to the higher education environment by fostering feelings of belonging, supporting effective engagement, and easing navigation of university systems and processes.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar e comparar a composição, riqueza e diversidade epifítica entre forofíticos específicos no Parque Nacional Serra de Itabaiana, SE. Através de dois distintos grupos forófitos (Mangifera indica L. e espécies arbóreas nativas), todas os indivíduos das espécies epifíticas foram contabilizadas e com esses dados foram realizadas as análises estatísticas.  No total foram amostrados 491 indivíduos sendo 163 nas mangueiras e 328 nas nativas, A diversidade medida pelo índice de Shannon-Wiener (H’) para o forófitos da espécie Mangifera indica foi de H’ = 1,7 e nas nativas foi de H’ = 2, 27, o valor de equabilidade também foi maior nas nativas (J’ = 0,83) quando comparado com as mangueiras (J’ = 0,71). O teste de permutação ANOSIM demostrou diferenças significativas na composição de espécies epifíticas entre os dois grupos forofíticos, tanto por Jaccard (p ? 0,01), como por Bray-Curtis (p ? 0,01). Tais resultados sugerem que a presença de forófitos não nativos afeta a composição, riqueza e a diversidade de espécies epifíticas.

Published: October 2020

A new genus Guayaquilia is established to accommodate Idriella cubensis based on morphology and phylogenetic analysis. DNA sequence data place these specimens as incertae sedis separate from Microdochiaceae (Xylariales), forming a monophyletic lineage separated
from Neoidriella desertorum and phylogenetically distant from Idriella. The novel genus is characterized by macronematous, tree-like, fasciculate, profuse dichotomously, alternately, or irregularly branched, brown conidiophores with polyblastic, denticulate, sympodial extended,
intercalary and terminal conidiogenous cells that produce solitary, sublunate, subnavicular, lunate, inequilateral, (0–)1-septate, hyaline conidia.

Chromelosporium re-evaluated, with Chromelosporiopsis gen. nov. and Geohypha stat. nov.
Authors: Hennebert Grégoire L.
Published: October 2020

Chromelosporium-like asexual morphs of the subterraneous Pezizaceae in the /Pachyphlodes clade are not congeneric with the type of Chromelosporium. Some Chromelosporium morphs are of species in the /Pezizaceae clade (the /Peziza clade),
and the genus Chromelosporium as it has been defined is polyphyletic. A diagnostic character that distinguishes these two groups is the presence or absence of conidiophore fasciculation. Mononematous conidiophores characterize Chromelosporium and species related to the /Peziza
clade. Synnematous conidiophores characterize Pachyphlodes and other asexual species and define the new genus Chromelosporiopsis, to be excluded from Chromelosporium. Hyphelia terrestris, long misapplied to Chromelosporium, is revaluated, lectotypified,
redescribed and recombined as Geohypha terrestris.

Published: October 2020

The manufacturing industry always tries to improve performance amid the trade globalization. Demand and supply uncertainty, and increasingly the intense competition, prosecute the presence of an affective leadership to integrate the company's internal and external resources in improving company performance. This research investigates the role of affective leadership in firm performance through an internally integrated system and external integration in FMCG companies. Data collection used questionnaires, designed with a five-point Liker scale, were distributed to 55 fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) manufacturing companies. The data analysis used the PLS technique utilizing smart PLS software to assess the validity and reliability of the outer model and to examine the hypotheses developed. The results of the hypothesis testing found that affective leadership can improve internal system integration, external integration, and firm performance. Internal system integration has an impact on external integration but is not strong enough to have a direct effect on firm performance. The internally integrated system has an influence on firm performance through external integration. The company's ability to share information with external partners can improve firm performance through demand fulfillment. The study provides a managerial implication on how to enhance firm performance in the context of internal and external system integration. The finding of this research enriches the current studies in supply chain management.

Published: October 2020

The objective of this study was to analyze and determine the impact of digital transformation on the individual job performance of insurance companies in Peru. The deductive inferential scientific method of explanatory level was used, with a non-experimental design, to four insurance companies that operate in the regions of Arequipa, Cusco, Iquitos, Lima, Tacna and Trujillo. The results generated by structural equations show that customer service experience (CSE), based on digital transformation, had a positive impact on task performance (p ≤ 0.05) and contextual performance (p ≤ 0.05); in contrast, the customer service experience (CSE), based on digital transformation, was found to have no impact on counterproductive behavior (p≥ 0.05). In relation to the collaborator's capabilities (CC) based on digital transformation, the results reveal that it had a significant influence on task performance (p ≤0.05) and contextual performance (p ≤ 0.05), while it did not have any impact on counterproductive behavior (p ≥ 0.05). Likewise, processes based on digital transformation (P) significantly influence task performance (p ≤ 0.05) and contextual performance (p ≤ 0.05), unlike counter-productive behavior that did not present a causal link with the processes (p> 0.05). Finally, the business model based on digital transformation (BM) had no implications for task performance (p> 0.05), contextual performance (p> 0.05) and counterproductive behaviors (p> 0.05). The conclusion of the study indicates that the customer service experience, the collaborator's capabilities and processes based on digital transformation contribute to the performance and contextual performance of the workers of the insurance companies in Peru.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of ration energy levels on the performance and carcass characteristics of confined lambs. Four energy levels were evaluated: 2.00; 2.28; 2.54, and 2.80 Mcal of ME kg-1DM, with the last content being recommended by the National Research Council [NRC] (2007) for daily weight gains of 300 g. Twenty-four crossbred Ile de France ram lambs (six per treatment) at 240.0 ± 9.6 days of age and 26.6 ± 3.8 kg body weight, fed with isoprotein diets (158 g kg-1, CP) were used. The confinement lasted 57 days. Final body weight, cold carcass weight, and cold carcass yield were linearly and positively influenced by diet energy content. Food intake, average daily weight gain, and feed conversion were quadratically influenced by energy level, where the highest averages were observed under diets containing between 2.54 and 2.80 Mcal. In percentage terms, the main carcass cuts (leg and shoulder) were not influenced by diet energy level. In terms of the shoulder tissue composition, it was observed that bone content decreased linearly, fat content increased quadratically, and muscle content was not affected by the energy content of the diet. It was concluded that diets with higher energy densities lead to the production of heavier carcasses with higher yields, as well as increased weight gains. Optimal diets should therefore contain between 2.54 and 2.80 Mcal of ME kg-1DM.

Published: October 2020

Gray mold in grapes (caused by Botrytis cinerea) and blue mold in citrus (caused by Penicillium italicum) are post-harvest diseases that cause major losses in these crops. The control of these diseases is based on the use of synthetic chemical fungicides. The increase in regulatory policies and demand to reduce the application of pesticides, due to harmful effects on the environment and humans, have led to the search for more ecofriendly alternatives, such as biological control agents. Thus, the present work aims to verify the antagonistic potential of four yeast strains, Pichia caribbica (CCMA 0759), Hanseniaspora opuntiae (CCMA 0760), Pichia manshurica (CCMA 0762), and Lachancea thermotolerans (CCMA 0763), against of B cinerea and P. italicum. To assess the antagonism of volatile compounds, Petri plates with two divisions containing potato-dextrose-agar (PDA) were used by placing a fungal mycelial disc and yeast suspension (3.0 × 106 cells mL-1) on opposite sides of the plate. The colony diameter and mycelial growth rate index of the fungi were evaluated via comparisons with the control plate without yeast. For the evaluation of the antagonism of diffusible substances in the medium, yeasts were striated 3 cm from the center of the plates containing PDA. After 48 h, a mycelial disc of each phytopathogen was placed in the center of the plates. The colony growth, inhibition halo, and mycelial growth rate index were evaluated via comparisons with the control plate. All yeast strains showed an antagonistic effect on the mycelial growth of B. cinerea in both tests. In the volatile compounds test, H. opuntiae, L. thermotolerans, P. caribbica, and P. manshurica inhibited mycelial growth by approximately 82%, 75%, 72%, and 50%, respectively. In the antagonism test of the diffusible substances in the medium, P. caribbica and P. manshurica inhibited mycelial growth by 58% and 33%, respectively. However, these yeast strains did not show an antagonistic effect against P. italicum. Thus, all isolates demonstrated potential to be tested as biocontrol agents of gray mold in post-harvest grape fruits.
