Improving Unsustainable Environmental Governance in South Africa: the Case for Holistic Governance
Authors: Kotze LJ
Published: July 2017

Environmental law in South Africa has developed in a rapid fashion since the inception of the new constitutional dispensation in 1994.  This development is evident from, inter alia, the constitutionalisation of the environmental right in section 24 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996.  Section 24 contains amongst other provisions, directive principles that impose duties on government to protect the environment for present and future generations through reasonable legislative and other measures.  It is apparent from section 24 that these measures should ensure environmental governance practices that are aimed at the achievement of sustainable results.  The South African environmental governance regime is, however, characterised by fragmentation that may negate the achievement of sustainable environmental governance.  It is argued in this article that, for environmental governance to become sustainable, it is necessary to integrate environmental governance efforts, possibly by way of a holistic approach to environmental governance.  In light of the above, this article: investigates the nature and extent of fragmentation; explores reasons for fragmentation; discusses disadvantages of fragmented governance efforts in South Africa; investigates the concept of integration and holistic governance as means to achieve sustainable environmental governance results; and makes recommendations regarding the eventual achievement of integrated, holistic and sustainable environmental governance.
Deference and Diffèrance: Judicial Review and the Perfect Gift
Authors: De Ville J
Published: July 2017

The highest courts in both Canada and South Africa have expressed themselves in favour of an approach of deference as respect in the review of administrative action. The notion of deference as respect derives from the thinking of David Dyzenhaus, who has developed a theory of democracy in support of this approach to judicial review. Dyzenhaus’ model of review attempts to steer clear from the problems he associates particularly with positivism and liberalism. Dyzenhaus’ model of review furthermore attempts to allow space for the administration to play a significant role in giving effect to democratic values, on the understanding that all such decisions need to be reasonably justifiable. In this article the views of Dyzenhaus are contrasted with those of Jacques Derrida, especially insofar as the latter has reflected on the relation between law and justice, as well as concepts such as the gift and democracy. The argument developed in this article is that Dyzenhaus’ model of review, despite its many positive features, needs to be rethought with reference to the perfect gift, unconditional justice and democracy to come. Such a rethinking is required because of the limited conception of justice – as simply ‘our’ justice – in Dyzenhaus’ model.
Developing Countries and Copyright in the Information Age - The Functional Equivalent Implementation of the WCT
Authors: Pistorius T
Published: July 2017

Digital technology has had a profound impact on copyright law. The implementation of the WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT) and the enforcement of technological protection measures have led to disparate forms of copyright protection for digital and analogue media. The balance between authors’ rights and the right of the public to access copyright works has been distorted. 

 

Copyright law is playing an ever-increasing crucial role in the Information Society. Developing countries are especially disadvantaged by diminished access to works. In this article it is argued that adherence to the principle of functional equivalence in implementing the anti-circumvention provisions of the WCT will ensure that the copyright balance is maintained and will advance the development agenda

Published: July 2017

Objective: The study aims to identify and analyze the influence of body composition and basal metabolic rate over the behavior of temporal parameters of ground reactive forces during the gait of postmenopausal.Methods: The experimental study was carry out with 52 women (±59.8 years). The fat mass, abdominal visceral adiposity, skeletal muscle mass, fat-free mass and basal metabolic rate have evaluated by octopolar bioimpedance. The data for the ground reactive forces were collect through the force platform.Results: In relative terms, the fat mass showed influence the final phase of support, causing a decrease in this parameter. Abdominal visceral adiposity also exerted inverse influence on the vertical loading (r = -0.31) and unloading (r = -0.35) rate. The skeletal muscle mass (r = -0.45, r = -0.46; p<0.01) and basal metabolic rate (r = -0.44, r = -0.46; p<0.01) influenced the vertical loading rate and the relationship between the vertical rates significantly.Conclusion: The study suggests that the increase on fat mass and abdominal visceral adiposity, influence the support time and the vertical rates. With a more robust skeletal muscle system the postmenopausal women exhibit the phases of the gait cycle less accentuated, signaling less stress on the joints.

Hydrogenation of Substituted Fullerenes – a DFT Study
Authors: Muthukumar K. , Sankaran M. , Viswanathan B.
Published: July 2017

Hydrogen storage by carbon materials is a topic of current interest. In order to exploit fullerenes as one of the new forms of carbon for hydrogen storage, it is shown that an activator for hydrogen is necessary in the fullerene network. Even though one can generate stoichiometric hydrides the formation of such hydrides have to be established. In this present study we have examined what type of species on carbon surfaces may be able to activate hydrogen molecule and lead to hydride formation. The Density Functional Theory calculations have been carried out on some typical model systems wherein the fullerene molecule is substituted in the network with heteroatoms like N, P and S and the reduction in the dissociation energy of hydrogen molecule is considered as a measure of the ability to hydride the carbon materials. On the basis of the reduction in the dissociation energy for the hydrogen molecule it was shown that heteroatom substitution in the fullerene net work may be suitable for the activation and dissociation of hydrogen molecule.

Published: July 2017

Polylactide (PLA) is a kind of biodegradable and biocompatible material. In recent years, polylactide (PLA) and its copolymers have received significant attention from researchers. 5-Fluorouracil (5-Fu) is an antimetabolite of the pyrimidine analog type and is widely used for cancer treatment. As many other kinds of hydrophilic medicines, 5-Fu is difficult to be encapsulated by a water-in-oil-in-water emulsion solvent evaporation technique and the drug content is affected by the volume of the internal phase the increase in which resultes in a decrease in the yield of microspheres. In this study, 5-Fu loaded PLA microspheres which has quite high yield were prepared by a particular oil-in-water evaporation method. During the process of microspheres preparation, nano-silica was used in order to achieve high drug content. The size and morphology of the microspheres were observed by the scanning electron microscope (SEM). According to the results, these microspheres have smooth, spherical surface structure, with no apparent evidence of collapsing which can ensure the even release of the drug. Their size depends on the concentration of dispersed phase and gelatin and the size of nano-silica particles. The nano-silica content was determined by thermogravimetry analyzer (TGA) and by a spectrophotometer, the 5-Fu content in the microspheres could be calculated. It was shown that the PLA microspheres containing lower amount of nano-silica have higher ability to incorporate 5-Fu.

Politics, Poetics and “the Tragedy of Existence”. The Reception of Młyny Boże [the Mills of God] Novel Series by Kazimierz Truchanowski by the Censorship Bureau
Authors: Mojsak Kajetan
Published: July 2017

The article analyzes the censorship board’s reception of Kazimierz Truchanowski’s novel cycle The Mills of the God, published between 1961 and 1967. The analysis gives an insight into the interesting process of the growing tolerance – and indifference – of censorship board towards this kind of hermetic, non-epic prose: far from the official cultural course, but at the same time not coming into open conflict with it. Review of censors’ reception of the subsequent parts of Truchanowski’s novel can be seen as a contribution to the history of the so-called “socparnasizm” as well as to the history of the growing pragmatism of the censorship board (and its de-ideologization).

Stefan Themerson’s Opera (St. Francis & The Wolf of Gubbio or Brother Francis’ Lamb Chops)
Authors: Hejmej Andrzej
Published: July 2017

The paper focuses on the experimental work of Stefan Themerson (St. Francis and The Wolf of Gubbio or Brother Francis’ Lamb Chops, an Opera in 2 Acts, text and music by Stefan Themerson, drawings by Franciszka Themerson, De Harmonie – Gaberbocchus Press, Amsterdam–London 1972) and the question of intermediality in general. An interpretation of the ‘semantic opera’ (written in 1954–1960, as a continuation of Semantic Divertissements [1962] and factor T [1956]), places Themerson’s idea in the context of the aesthetics of intermediality. The author signals a terminological confusion connected with the understanding of St. Francis and The Wolf of Gubbio (semantic opera; hybrid work; intermedial work, etc.) and argues that the aesthetics of intermediality appear to be an important and inspiring context for the interpretation of Themerson’s text and life. In this case, considerations on the subject of textuality show, on the one hand, different relations between literature, painting, music and theatre (artistic intermediality), and, on the other, the phenomenon of intermediality as the aesthetics of existence.
O desfile do Boi Neon: arquivos em movimento
Authors: S. Fontanini de Carvalho Rodrigo , Gaiotto de Moraes Ricardo
Published: July 2017

Um arquivo não é imóvel, mas um conjunto de rastros que são ressignificados, na sincronia do processo de memória. O filme constitui-se como narrativa cuja tessitura se dá a partir de arquivos. Posto isso, este artigo propõe uma leitura do filme brasileiro Boi neon (2016), dirigido por Gabriel Mascaro. A representação da ambiguidade do protagonista, entre os gestos rústicos no preparo dos bois nas vaquejadas do interior do nordeste e a sensibilidade do design de roupas femininas, parece constituir uma masculinidade multifacetada, o que confronta o arquivo de um paradigma heteronormativo das performatividades de gênero. Essas novas perspectivas parecem possibilitar (re)escritas e (des)contextualizações dos arquivos sobre esses sujeitos outrora legados à opressão.

Arthroscopic Tenodesis of the Long Head of the Biceps Tendon
Authors: Kim Yang-Soo , Jeong Jin-Young , Lee Hyo-Jin
Published: July 2017

Lesions of the long head of the biceps brachii tendon (LHBT) are a common source of shoulder pain and dysfunction. Although the exact role of the LHBT in shoulder biomechanics is not clearly understood, pathological involvement of this tendon is a well-known pain generator and frequently the clinical presentation consists of both anterior pain and flexion loss. The initial treatment for lesions of the LHBT should be nonoperative, but if that fails or if the LHBT lesion is combined with rotator cuff lesions or other lesions that need to be repaired surgically, surgical intervention is indicated. Tenotomy and tenodesis of the LHBT are 2 classic representative treatments with confirmed results. Tenodesis may be especially beneficial for patients younger than 50 years old or those who perform strenuous labor. The procedure is performed arthroscopically with the following steps. Step 1: A standard posterior viewing portal and an anterior working portal are made. Step 2: After confirmation of the LHBT lesion inside the glenohumeral joint, number-1 polydioxanone (PDS) suture is passed through the tendon before tenotomy is performed just above the superior labrum. Step 3: The tenotomized tendon is pulled out through the anterior portal by gentle traction on the attached PDS suture. A Krackow whip-stitch with nonabsorbable suture is made in the tendon. Step 4: A 7 to 8-mm drill-hole is made in the intertubercular groove of the humeral head just proximal to the insertion of the subscapularis tendon. Step 5: The suture is tightly tied to the distal hole of a 7.0-mm BioComposite SwiveLock Interference Screw (Arthrex). Step 8: The interference screw with the tenotomized end is inserted into the drill-hole. LHBT tenodesis lessens the cosmetic problem of Popeye deformity that is seen after tenotomy. Also, elbow motor power including flexion and supination is preserved.

Published: July 2017

Hyperspectral cameras can provide reflectance data at hundreds of wavelengths. This information can be used to derive vegetation indices (VIs) that are correlated with agronomic and physiological traits. However, the data generated by hyperspectral cameras are richer than what can be summarized in a VI. Therefore, in this study, we examined whether prediction equations using hyperspectral image data can lead to better predictive performance for grain yield than what can be achieved using VIs. For hyperspectral prediction equations, we considered three estimation methods: ordinary least squares, partial least squares (a dimension reduction method), and a Bayesian shrinkage and variable selection procedure. We also examined the benefits of combining reflectance data collected at different time points. Data were generated by CIMMYT in 11 maize (Zea mays L.) yield trials conducted in 2014 under heat and drought stress. Our results indicate that using data from 62 bands leads to higher prediction accuracy than what can be achieved using individual VIs. Overall, the shrinkage and variable selection method was the best‐performing one. Among the models using data from a single time point, the one using reflectance collected at 28 d after flowering gave the highest prediction accuracy. Combining image data collected at multiple time points led to an increase in prediction accuracy compared with using single‐time‐point data.

Published: July 2017

Based on the statistical method and the historical evolution of meteorological stations, the precipitation time series for each station in Hunan Province of China during 1910–2014 are tested for their homogeneity and then adjusted. The missing data caused by war and other reasons at the eight meteorological stations which had records before 1950 is filled by interpolation using adjacent observations, and complete precipitation time series since the establishment of stations are constructed. After that, according to the representative analysis of each station in different time periods, the precipitation series of Hunan Province during 1910–2014 are built and changes are analyzed. The results indicate that the annual precipitation has no significant linear trend but has obvious inter-decadal fluctuation during 1910–2014 and a periodic oscillation of 20 years is the most significant. Precipitation in winter (DJF) and summer (JJA) shows a slight wetter trend, and a slight dryer trend in spring (MAM) and autumn (SON). Abrupt change test suggests that annual and seasonal precipitations except for MAM and SON have abrupt ascending changes in the recent 100 years.

Se consiguieron identificar 23 aislamientos de Gallibacterium anatis, a través de pruebas convencionales de cultivo y bioquímicas, confirmándose su identificación a través del método de PCR. Se les efectuó la prueba de difusión en placa para determinar la resistencia antimicrobiana a los antibióticos más utilizados en el área avícola. Los aislamientos fueron más susceptibles a ceftiofur (73 %) y florfenicol (68 %); todos los aislamientos mostraron resistencia marcada a penicilina, tilosina, lincomicina, ampicilina, enrofloxacina, oxitetraciclina, norfloxacina y cefalexina. La presencia de Gallibacterium anatis se asocia a problemas respiratorios y reproductivos en las poblaciones de gallinas de postura comercial. Los aislamientos mostraron una resistencia marcada a distintos antibióticos, probablemente por la medicación desmedida ante la presencia de este microorganismo.
Lo absurdo: descontextualización, sentido, significado y humor
Authors: Portillo Fernández Jesús
Published: July 2017

Este trabajo investiga lo absurdo desde su etimología, desde su relación con los conceptos “sentido” y “significado”, analiza las nociones “contexto” y “descontextualización” para entender la naturaleza de la descontextualización absurda. Atendiendo a las diversas acepciones de lo absurdo en la literatura, la filosofía y el humor, intenta ofrecer una visión panorámica del desglose y la arquitectura del sinsentido (proposicional y situacional).

Precisión, sinceridad y autoengaño
Authors: Fermandois Eduardo
Published: July 2017

El texto persigue tres objetivos generales que, a la vez, lo estructuran. En primer lugar, quiero presentar, pero también cuestionar, la descripción que de la virtud de la precisión (accuracy) ofrece Bernard Williams. En segundo lugar, me propongo complementar dicha descripción deteniéndome en dos dimensiones de la precisión: el cuidado y lo que llamaré “cercanía al problema”. En ese contexto, intercalo un excurso acerca de la escritura. La tercera y última parte del artículo es un intento de vincular la reflexión sobre las llamadas virtudes de la verdad —junto con la precisión, la sinceridad (sincerity)— con la cuestión del autoengaño. En concreto, busco a) brindar apoyo al enfoque de acionario de Mele, i.e., a la concepción del autoengaño como creencia sesgada motivacionalmente, b) realizar un ajuste a dicha concepción y c) complementarla con un aspecto no suficientemente considerado en las discusiones sobre autoengaño, a saber, con ciertas creencias que dejamos de generar o que presentan un alto grado de imprecisión.

Hannah Arendt: la singularidad humana como efecto de lo político
Authors: Sánchez María Cecilia
Published: July 2017

El artículo indaga en el pensamiento de Hannah Arendt acerca de la relación entre política y singularidad como modo de contrarrestar la caída en el control y previsibilidad de lo humano por parte del totalitarismo y de las sociedades comerciales. La pregunta por el significado de la singularidad humana subraya el carácter postmetafísico (no escencialista) de la identidad y distinción humana para incluir a las mujeres, complejizando la concepción arendtiana del espacio público que de agonista pasa a ser asociativo.El artículo se organiza según algunas de las distinciones metafóricas de Arendt, quien emplea coordenadas como lo visible del mundo y la oscuridad de lo no-mundano para referirse a lo público y lo privado. De estas diferenciaciones se desprenden las categorías de lo humano con las que confronta al humanismo tradicional.
Refinando el marco epistemológico de las simulaciones de sistemas sociales
Authors: Giri Leandro Ariel
Published: July 2017

En el presente trabajo se buscará el refinamiento de algunas perspectivas epistemológicas claves para la conformación de un marco metodológico en el área de las simulaciones informáticas de sistemas sociales. A tal fin se procederá a mostrar el origen de la problemática en dicha conceptualización (que exporta una controversia clásica de las ciencias sociales) y su paso por las ciencias de la información como antecedente. Allí identificaremos las consecuencias de dichos problemas y trabajaremos en la profundización de las nociones conflictivas a fin de bregar por un pluralismo epistemológico que resulte beneficioso en el área.
Realismo Pragmático
Authors: Chang Hasok
Published: July 2017

En este trabajo intento articular y desarrollar la defensa que Roberto Torretti hace del realismo pragmático. En el núcleo de la visión de Torretti existe un rechazo a la idea de que la verdad de las teorías científicas consista en su correspondencia con el mundo. Propongo entonces entender la correspondencia como una noción metafórica. Articularé una noción de coherencia pragmática sobre la cual establezco una nueva teoría de la coherencia entre verdad y realidad. En consecuencia, resultará posible afirmar que el realismo pragmático consiste en la búsqueda del verdadero conocimiento de la realidad, de un modo que también concuerda con el pragamatismo defendido por Torretti.
E-commerce in agri-food sector: a systematic literature review
Authors: Zeng Yiwu , Jia Fu , Wan Li , Guo Hongdong
Published: July 2017

This paper aims to synthesize findings in the Agri-food E-commerce (AE) field through a systematic literature review and propose a number of future research directions based on the gaps identified from the review. There has been a general increase in the number of publications, indicating that AE research has elicited more and more interest from scholars in different countries and across multiple disciplines. We have identified a number of themes and made sense of them by developing an integrated conceptual model, which consists of two parts: one for AE adoption at a firm level and one for AE development at a regional level. Furthermore, we recommend that more emphasis should be put on the regional development modes of AE and their impact in the developing world, as the practice is evolving rapidly in some developing countries such as China.

Nail unit is a complex anatomical structure that is capable of rapid growth and regeneration throughout the life. Such significant reparative potential is associated with the presence different types of stem and progenitor cells, whose biology remains one of the fundamental issues today. Taking into account the active search for new stem cell sources for cell therapy, the view of the nail unit as a potential site for the localization of undifferentiated cells with stem potency is topical problem.Purpose. The study was conducted with an objective to establish the morphological, morphometric and proliferative characteristics of cultured cells isolated from the mouse nail unit.Materials and methods. Primary cultures of cells were obtained from tissue sampling, which included areas of the proximal nail fold, nail matrix and onychodermis of the FVB mouse nail organ. Cells were cultured in DMEM:F12 medium with 15 % fetal bovine serum during 6 passages. We determined the colony-forming activity, the population growth rate and doubling time, measured the area of cells, nuclei, and calculated the nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio. For cell morphology analysis, we used staining with Bemer’s hematoxylin and eosin, Heidenhain’s iron hematoxylin and May-Grünwald stain.Results. According to the morphological analysis in vitro the cells from mouse nail unit are heterogeneous with high synthetic activity and a low nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio – the features characteristic of the low-differentiated cells. The population doubling time of the culture was 80 ± 6.5 hours on average, the fastest growing cells were at the 4th passage (63 ± 7 hours). The specific growth rate for cell culture is low (0.01 ± 0.0007).The colony forming efficiency at the 5th passage was only 4 %. A significant number of colonies was small with large poorly proliferative cells, which may indicate a production of large numbers of transitional progenitor cells.Conclusion. The obtained cell culture from the mouse nail unit according to the analysis of their morphology, morphometry and proliferative potential is heterogeneous and requires the further development of pure culture technologies for the detailed characterization of separate subpopulations of cells.
