Foscarnet-induced genital lesions: An overview with a case report
Authors: Adalsteinsson Jonas A. , Pan Michael , Kaushik Shivani , Ungar Jonathan
Published: July 2018

Foscarnet is an important antiviral medication used mainly in the treatment of complicated Herpes-simplex virus and cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections. Reported first in the 1990’s, genital ulcers are a potential side effect in about 10% of cases. We report the case of a 29 year old man with acute myelogenous leukemia who was on ganciclovir for CMV prophylaxis. Three weeks after being switched to foscarnet because of neutropenia, he developed two, painful symmetric ulcers on the inferior aspect of glans penis. Viral and bacterial cultures were negative. Two weeks after stopping the infusion of foscarnet, the ulcers subsided without any additional treatment. It is important that physicians be aware of this potentially disfiguring side effect of foscarnet so that methods of prevention can be implemented early in the treatment of these patients.

Published: July 2018

The presence of increased air bubble in the lumina of esophagus on a chest CT scan may be associated with esophageal disorders. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between the appearance of air bubbles on chest CT scan and gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). In this case-control study, thirty-two patients with endoscopically proved GERD and 32 subjects without GERD underwent chest computed tomography (CT) scanning. Esophageal dilatation (ED) was defined as the presence of air bubbles greater than 10 mm in the supra ventricle (SV) and ventricle (CV), and air bubbles >15 mm in the ventricle to the lower esophageal sphincter (V-LES). The results were compared between the two groups. The GERD patients included 16 (50%) males with a mean age of 58.5Â±11.2 years and the control group included 17 (54.8%) males and 14 (45.1%) females with a mean age of 66.7Â±10.5 years. There was a significant relationship between the presence of GERD and esophageal dilation (ED) in the V-LES sections on the CT scan (P=0.002). The mean size of the air bubbles in the V-LES section was 11.73 mm in the case group in comparison to 4.32 mm in the control group (P<0.001). Â The size and location of the air bubbles in the esophagus can vary and be important. The possibility of GERD increases in the presence of esophageal dilation on CT scan.
Toeplitz operators and the Roe–Higson type index theorem

Let

that belongs to

C_{\mathrm{w}}(M)

we construct an index class Ind

(\phi , D)

in

K_{1}

-group of the Roe algebra of

M

by using the Kasparov product. It is supposed to be a counterpart of Roe's odd index class. We finally prove that Connes' pairing of

\mathrm{Ind}(\phi , D)

and Roe's cyclic

-cocycle is equal to the Fredholm index of a Toeplitz operator on

N

. This is an extension of the Roe–Higson index theorem to even-dimensional partitioned manifolds.
Brauer–Severi motives and Donaldson–Thomas invariants of quantized threefolds
Authors: Le Bruyn Lieven
Published: July 2018

Motives of Brauer–Severi schemes of Cayley-smooth algebras associated to homogeneous superpotentials are used to compute inductively the motivic Donaldson–Thomas invariants of the corresponding Jacobian algebras. This approach can be used to test the conjectural exponential expressions for these invariants, proposed in [3]. As an example we confirm the second term of the conjectured expression for the motivic series of the homogenized Weyl algebra.
Symmetric noncommutative birational transformations
Authors: Presotto Dennis
Published: July 2018

In [11] certain birational transformations were constructed between the noncommutative schemes associated to quadratic and cubic three dimensional Sklyanin algebras. In the current paper we consider the inverse birational transformations and show that they are of the same type. Moreover we extend everything to the

\mathbb Z

-algebras context, which allows us to incorporate the noncommutative quadrics introduced by Van den Bergh in [18].
Variability of depolarization of aerosol particles in Beijing mega city:
implication in interaction between anthropogenic pollutants and
mineral dust particles

Published: July 2018

Abstract. East Asia is suffering from a severe air pollution problem due to intensive emissions of anthropogenic pollutants and mineral dust aerosols. During transport, both Asian dust and pollutants undergo complex mixing processes, which result in great impacts on regional air quality, human health and climate. To characterize these mixing processes, we conducted long-term observations using an optical particle counter equipped with a polarization detection module (POPC) in the megacity of Beijing. Mass concentrations of PM2.5 (aerodynamic diameters of less than 2.5 μm) and PM10 derived from POPC compared well with ground-based measurements. Based on size-resolved polarization measurements, anthropogenic pollutants, mineral dust and mixed-type mineral dust (dust particle with pollutant coatings) were well distinguished. We found that the depolarization ratio (DR, termed as the ratio of the intensity of the s-polarized signal to the intensity of the backward scattering signal [s/(s + p)]) for aerosol particles with optical diameters of

Published: July 2018

Abstract. There is a lack of characterization of the aerosol population in Western India, how it is affected by meteorological parameters, and new particle formation and the influence on cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). For this reason, measurements of particle number size distribution, aerosol chemical composition, meteorology and cloud condensation nuclei number concentration were monitored at High Altitude Cloud Physics Laboratory (HACPL) in Mahabaleshwar mountain town in Western India between November 2016 and February 2017. Most air masses in this period originated from the Indian continent to the north-east of HACPL. New particle formation (NPF) events were observed on 47 days and mainly associated with these north-easterly air masses and high SO2 emissions and biomass burning activities, while weaker or non-NPF days were associated with westerly air masses and relatively higher influence of local air pollution. The growth of newly formed particles enhanced the mass concentration of secondary organic and inorganic species of aerosol particles. The mean growth rate, formation rate, condensation sink and coagulation loss for the 13 strongest events was found to be 2.58 ± 0.38 nm h−1, 2.82 ± 1.37 cm−3 s−1, 22.3 ± 2.87 * 10-3 s−1 and 1.62 ± 1.04 cm−3 s−1 respectively. A closer examination of 5 events showed that low relative humidity and solar radiation favoured new particle formation. These NPF events lead to a significant increase in CCN concentration (mean ~ 53 ± 36 %). The NanoMap method revealed that NPF took place up to several hundred kilometers upwind and to the north-east of HACPL.
Particle Wall-loss Correction Methods in Smog Chamber Experiments
Authors: Wang Ningxin , Jorga Spiro , Pierce Jeffrey , Donahue Neil , Pandis Spyros
Published: July 2018

Abstract. The interaction of particles with the chamber walls has been a significant source of uncertainty when analyzing results of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation experiments performed in Teflon chambers. A number of particle wall-loss correction methods have been proposed including the use of a size-independent loss rate constant, ratio of suspended organic mass to that of a conserved tracer (e.g., sulfate seeds), size-dependent loss rate constant, etc. For complex experiments such as chemical aging of SOA, the results of the SOA quantification analysis can be quite sensitive to the adopted correction method due to the evolution of the particle size distribution and the duration of these experiments. We evaluated the performance of several particle wall-loss correction methods for aging experiments of α-pinene ozonolysis products. Determining the loss rates from seed loss periods is necessary for this system because it is not clear when chemistry is over. Results from the organic to sulfate ratio and the size-independent correction methods can be influenced significantly by the size-dependence of the particle wall-loss process. Coagulation can also affect the particle size distribution, especially for particles with diameter less than 100 nm, thus introducing errors in the results of the wall-loss correction. The corresponding loss rate constants may vary from experiment to experiment, and even during a specific experiment. Friction between the Teflon chamber walls and non-conductive surfaces can significantly increase particle wall-loss rates and the chamber may require weeks to recover to its original condition. Experimental procedures are proposed for the characterization of particle losses during different stages of these experiments and the evaluation of corresponding particle wall-loss correction.
Filtering artefacts in bacterial community composition can affect the outcome of dissolved organic matter biolability assays
Authors: Dean Joshua F. , van Hal Jurgen R. , Dolman Han , Aerts Rien , Weedon James T.
Published: July 2018

Abstract. Inland waters are large contributors to global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, in part due to the vulnerability of dissolved organic matter (DOM) to microbial decomposition and respiration to CO2 during transport through aquatic systems. To assess the degree of this vulnerability, aquatic DOM is often incubated in standardized "biolability" assays. These assays isolate the dissolved fraction of aquatic OM by size filtration prior to incubation. We test whether this size selection has an impact on the bacterial community composition and the consequent dynamics of DOM degradation using three different filtering strategies: 0.2 μm (filtered-and-inoculated), 0.7 μm (generally the most common DOM filter size) and 106 μm ("unfiltered"). We found that bacterial community composition, based on 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing, was significantly affected by the different filter sizes. At the same time, filtering strategy also affected the DOM degradation dynamics. However, the dynamics of these two responses were decoupled, suggesting that filtration primarily influences biolability assays through bacterial abundance and the presence of their associated predators. By the end of the 41-day incubations all treatments tended to converge on a common total DOM biolability level, with the 0.7 μm filtered incubations reaching this point the quickest. These results suggest that assays to assess the total biolability of aquatic DOM should last long enough to remove filtration artefacts in the microbial population. Filtering strategy should also be taken into account when comparing results across biolability assays.
Eleven years of mountain weather, snow, soil moisture and streamflow data from the rain–snow transition zone – the Johnston Draw catchment, Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed and Critical Zone Observatory, USA
Authors: Godsey Sarah E. , Marks Danny , Kormos Patrick R. , Seyfried Mark S. , Enslin Clarissa L. , Winstral Adam H. , McNamara James P. , Link Timothy E.
Published: July 2018

Abstract. Detailed hydrometeorological data from the rain-to-snow transition
zone in mountain regions are limited. As the climate warms, the
transition from rain to snow is moving to higher elevations, and
these changes are altering the timing of downslope water
delivery. To understand how these changes impact hydrological and
biological processes in this climatologically sensitive region,
detailed observations from the rain-to-snow transition zone are
required. We present a complete hydrometeorological dataset for
water years 2004 through 2014 for a watershed that spans the
rain-to-snow transition zone
(https://doi.org/10.15482/usda.adc/1402076). The
Johnston Draw watershed (1.8 km2), ranging from
1497 to 1869 m in elevation, is a sub-watershed of the
Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed (RCEW) in southwestern Idaho,
USA. The dataset includes continuous hourly hydrometeorological
variables across a 372 m elevation gradient, on north- and
south-facing slopes, including air temperature, relative humidity,
and snow depth from 11 sites in the watershed. Hourly measurements
of incoming shortwave radiation, precipitation, wind speed and
direction, soil moisture, and soil temperature are available at
selected stations. The dataset includes hourly stream discharge
measured at the watershed outlet. These data provide the scientific
community with a unique dataset useful for forcing and validating
hydrological models and will allow for better representation and
understanding of the complex processes that occur in the
rain-to-snow transition zone.
Coupling Library Jcup3: Its philosophy and application
Authors: Arakawa Takashi , Inoue Takahiro , Yashiro Hisashi , Satoh Masaki
Published: July 2018

Abstract. In this paper, we describe the design of the coupling library Jcup and report its various applications including the coupling between the global atmospheric and oceanic models with different grid systems. Jcup is a software library mainly focused on weather/climate models and was developed for the purpose of coupling components of various models. Jcup has flexibility in application to an unspecified number of components of earth system models. In order to achieve high order safety and versatility, we divided 5 the processes of a general coupling program into processes of changing and not changing the values of the data, and placed the former outside the program and under the control of the user. As a result, Jcup has two features: 1) that the correspondence relationship of grid indexes is used as input information, and 2) that the user can implement an arbitrary interpolation code. Jcup was applied to atmosphere–ocean coupling, IO component coupling, and seismic model–structure model coupling, and the validity and usefulness of the design were demonstrated.
Technical note: Mapping surface saturation dynamics with thermal infrared imagery
Authors: Glaser Barbara , Antonelli Marta , Chini Marco , Pfister Laurent , Klaus Julian
Published: July 2018

Abstract. In this study we assess the practicability of applying thermal infrared (TIR) imagery for mapping surface saturation dynamics. The advantage of TIR imagery compared to other surface saturation mapping methods is its large spatial and temporal flexibility combined with a non-invasive and intuitive character. Based on an 18-month field campaign, we review and discuss the methodological principles, under which conditions the method works best and what problems may occur. These considerations enable to plan efficient TIR imagery mapping campaigns and to benefit from the full potential offered by TIR imagery, which we demonstrate with several application examples. In addition, we elaborate on image post-processing and test different methods for the generation of binary saturation maps from the TIR images. The method testing is performed on various images with different image characteristics. Results show that the best method in addition to a manual image classification is a statistical-based approach that combines distribution fitting of two pixel classes, adaptive thresholding and region growing.
Estimation of sea ice parameters from sea ice model with
assimilated ice concentration and SST
Authors: Prasad Siva , Zakharov Igor , McGuire Peter , Power Desmond , Richard Martin
Published: July 2018

Abstract. A multi-category numerical sea ice model CICE along with data assimilation was used to derive sea ice parameters in the region of Baffin Bay and Labrador Sea. The assimilation of ice concentration was performed using the data derived from Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E & AMSR2). The model uses a mixed layer slab ocean parametrization to compute the Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and thereby to compute the potential to freezing/melting of ice. The data from Advanced Very High Resolution radiometer (AVHRR) was used to assimilate SST. The modeled ice parameters including concentration, ice thickness, freeboard, ridge height, and keel were compared with parameters estimated form remote sensing data. The ice thickness estimated from the model was compared with the measurements derived from Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity – Microwave Imaging Radiometer using Aperture Synthesis (SMOS-MIRAS). The ice concentration, thickness and freeboard estimates from model assimilated with both ice concentration and SST were found to be within the uncertainty of the observation except during March. The model estimated draft was compared with the measurements from an upward looking sonar (ULS) deployed in the Labrador Sea (near Makkovik Bank). The difference between modeled draft and ULS measurements estimated from the model was found to be within 10 cm. The keel depth measurements from the ULS instruments were compared to the estimates from the model to retrieve a relationship between the ridge height and keel depth.

Are millennials moving to more urbanized and transit-oriented counties?
Authors: Deka Devajyoti
Published: July 2018

Recent studies show that two distinct narratives have emerged about the millennials’ behavior, attitudes, and preferences regarding their choice of residence and transportation. According to the optimistic narrative, by living and traveling sustainably, millennials are planting the seeds of an urban renaissance. According to the pessimistic narrative, the changes in their behavior are due to economic constraints. To examine whether the inter-county migration pattern of American millennials is consistent with the optimistic narrative, this study compares some spatial and travel characteristics of the origins and destinations of millennials (age 25-34) and older adults (age 35-64) by using data from the 2011-2015 American Community Survey and the 2010 Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics. Basic comparisons show that the destinations chosen by millennials are likely to have the characteristics that are consistent with the optimistic narrative. The push-pull regression models show that the effects of the county characteristics on migration are often significant but modest. The effects are not remarkably different for the two age groups.
Seismicity of the East Baltic region after the Kaliningrad earthquakes on 21 September 2004
Authors: Nikulins Valerijs , Assinovskaya Bela
Published: July 2018

For a long time, the north-western part of the East European Craton, specifically the East Baltic region (EBR), was considered an aseismic territory. Historical earthquakes did take place in the EBR, but they occurred rarely and could not always be associated with tectonic conditions. The attitude towards seismicity of the region began to change after the Osmussaar earthquake on 25 October 1976 (M=4.7) and especially after the Kaliningrad earthquakes on 21 September 2004 (Mw = 5.0; Mw = 5.2). In this study, the seismicity of the EBR was generalized over 13 years after the Kaliningrad earthquakes on the basis of Scandinavian and our own data. In several cases focal mechanisms were solved for weak earthquakes. The study showed a tendency of seismic activity to decrease from northwest to southeast, a predominant concentration of earthquakes sources in the East Baltic coastal zone, and the activation of Ladoga-Bothnia, Vyborg, Olaine-Inčukalns, Võrtsjärv zones. The main problems are associated with a rare seismic network, high level of ambient seismic noise, and a large number of man-made sources.

Published: July 2018

The easternmost part of the Gulf of Finland is characterized by intense coastal processes dominated by wave erosion. Reliable prediction of the coastal zone development, as well as effective strategy for coastal protection, demands a quantitative assessment of beach transformation and volume of sediment loss as a result of extreme storms. The main goal of this study based on results of terrestrial laser scanning was to establish volumes of eroded, transported, and redeposited sand during storm surge events that occurred between 2012 and 2017, and to verify a mathematical model of beach profile changes within key areas located in the Kurortny District of St. Petersburg (Gulf of Finland, Baltic Sea), where the longest set of levelling and terrestrial laser scanning was conducted. The resulting detailed 3D GIS models of coastal relief, based on high-resolution geodesic surveys, produced a highly reliable database of beachface transformation under the extreme storm impact and quantitative assessment of erosion volumes and sediment loss.

Authors: Rucińska-Zjadacz Maria , Rudowski Stanisław , Wróblewski Radosław
Published: July 2018

The article presents results of a pioneering research on the main geological features of the Hel Peninsula based on the analysis of seismic profiles and their comparison with geological cross-sections made on the basis of drillings. The following three parts of the tip structure have been identified: barrier basement (1), barrier core (2) and barrier upper part(3). Seismic facies distinguished therein were subsequently geologically interpreted as follows: Cretaceous marl and limestone (1.1), glacial till and diamicton (1.2), silt and clay of limnoglacial/limnic/marine origin (1.3), barrier sand of the core (2), and sand and peat of the barrier upper part(3). Geological cross-sections covering the geological structure of the tip of the Hel Peninsula underwater slope and the surrounding seabed. The slope base and the distal sand colluvium extent on the seafloor were determined. This paper is the first to present a crosswise section in this part of the Hel Peninsula.
Atmospheric forcing of upwelling along the south-eastern Baltic coast

Published: July 2018

The meteorological forcing on the occurrence of upwelling along the south-eastern Baltic Sea coast (Lithuanian-Latvian sector) is analysed in this study. The sea level pressure patterns and the locations of pressure centres inducing and inhibiting upwelling were identified. The research was performed for the years 1982–2017, for the months of May–September, when the sea waters are thermally stratified and the phenomenon is detectable. The frequency of upwelling is the highest in June (approximately 15%), July and August (11–13%) and the lowest in September (7%). The central and northern part of the Lithuanian–Latvian coast is most favourable for upwelling occurrence (frequency up to 20% in summer months). The main features of the sea level pressure patterns that induce upwelling in the research area are positive pressure anomalies spreading over Northern Europe and the Norwegian Sea, while negative anomalies encompass Southern Europe. Airflow around the anticyclonic centres gives a north-eastern component to the wind direction over the Lithuanian-Latvian shore. Two circulation types were recognized as inducing the occurrence of upwelling along the Lithuanian–Latvian coast. Both of them are characterized by the anticyclonic centres located west or northwest of the study area and intensify the northerly or north-easterly airflow over the research area. Different pressure patterns with the negative anomalies of sea level pressure spreading over the North Sea and the positive anomalies underlying Central Europe inhibit upwelling along the Lithuanian–Latvian coast. Such pressure conditions, bring about the western airflow component. More constant western winds restrain the upwelling process and bring about normal thermal stratification of coastal waters. A detailed analysis allowed the recognition of two circulation types inhibiting coastal upwelling in the study area. They reveal dipole patterns of sea level pressure anomalies, but the two inhibiting patterns differ substantially in the intensities and locations of the pressure centres and in wind conditions.

Los centros de formación profesional y su vinculación con el entorno: la perspectiva de alumnado y profesorado
Authors: Rego Agraso Laura
Published: July 2018

El objetivo del artículo que aquí se presenta es analizar la relación existente entre los centros de formación profesional del sistema educativo y su entorno desde la perspectiva del alumnado y del profesorado. Todo ello en el marco de una investigación cuya pretensión final era establecer la contribución de estas enseñanzas al desarrollo de los territorios locales y comarcales. Para ello, se diseñó un estudio descriptivo con una metodología mixta que incluye la aplicación de 2 cuestionarios diferenciados dirigidos al alumnado y al profesorado de FP de una comarca localizada en la comunidad autónoma de Galicia. Participaron en la investigación un total de 267 alumnos/as de ciclos medios y superiores y 38 de sus profesores/as. Tras la encuesta realizada, se desprende que existe un contacto poco frecuente entre los centros de formación profesional y otras organizaciones comunitarias, lo que conlleva cierto aislamiento de los centros y del alumnado ante las instituciones que configuran el territorio. Según la literatura existente, dicho aislamiento implica un obstáculo a superar si se pretende contribuir desde las enseñanzas de formación profesional al desarrollo de los territorios locales y comarcales.

Authors: Triviño Cabrera Laura
Published: July 2018

El presente artículo pretende dar a conocer los resultados obtenidos de proyecto de innovación docente para la formación del profesorado que integra educación y patrimonio cultural. Aprovechando que este otoño de 2016, el Museo Nacional del Prado acogerá la primera muestra de una mujer artista, la pintora flamenca Clara Peeters, planificamos unas jornadas donde el alumnado del Máster Universitario en Profesorado de Educación Secundaria y Bachillerato en la especialidad de Ciencias Sociales de la Universidad de Málaga tendría que diseñar una serie de actividades para alumnado de primero de bachillerato que les acercaran a al conocimiento de temáticas que normalmente forman parte del currículum oculto como el papel de las mujeres en la historia y el arte, otras historias, otras geografías, la pintura de bodegón o la vida cotidiana. En la realización de este proyecto, se aplicaron las siguientes metodologías: aprendizaje-servicio, aprendizaje basado en problemas, aprendizaje por proyectos, aprendizaje cooperativo y aula invertida. Este proyecto supuso una oportunidad para afrontar los prejuicios del alumnado en relación a la visión del máster como mero trámite; sus demandas en relación a la excesiva teorización de las asignaturas; y sus resistencias a aplicar metodologías innovadoras, y el escepticismo a trabajar en grupos; y la utilización del enfoque.

Published: July 2018

El presente artículo surge de las actividades creativas que en los últimos años hemos venido desarrollando con personas con síndrome de Down y estudiantes de la Universidad de Murcia en ámbitos académicos, desde los que hemos ido conformando un espacio para la creatividad integrada,  que permitiera la participación de personas con o sin discapacidad intelectual en las mismas posibilidades, favoreciéndonos del enriquecimiento mutuo y del aprendizaje de las relaciones diversas a través de herramientas creativas. Desde estas líneas queremos mostrar los encuentros que sirvieron de manantial a la consolidación del curso de creación integrada con personas con síndrome de Down. A partir de estos cruces creativos que giran alrededor de la creación diversa, surge la necesidad de reflexionar en torno al sujeto y  su construcción a través de la intersubjetividad,  así como en la búsqueda de metodologías propias que favorezcan los espacios para la integración a través de la creatividad, introduciendo estrategias clave, tales como: creación integrada, diálogo, interacción, juego,  experimentación y encuadre propio, que nos han permitido reformular el concepto de creatividad integrada, así como elaborar algunas conclusiones esenciales.

Análisis comparativo de la percepción de los docentes sobre los programas bilingües en la Educación Primaria y Secundaria
Authors: Durán Martínez Ramiro
Published: July 2018

Este artículo lleva a cabo un análisis comparativo entre las percepciones del profesorado de educación primaria y el de secundaria que participan en programas bilingües en tres aspectos que consideramos clave para su práctica educativa: la formación del profesorado, los recursos docentes disponibles y la organización del centro bilingüe. Se plantea una investigación de carácter cuantitativo mediante un diseño no experimental ex-post-facto a partir de estudios de encuesta. Como instrumento utilizamos un cuestionario completado por 120 docentes en ejercicio divididos a partes iguales entre estas dos etapas educativas. Nuestros datos muestran que, aunque la competencia en lengua inglesa es más alta en el colectivo de profesores de secundaria, los de primaria tienen una mayor formación didáctica y mayor experiencia en programas bilingües. Ambos colectivos coinciden en considerar prioritario la financiación de vínculos internacionales, en valorar de manera poco entusiasta los recursos creados por las editoriales y en la necesidad de incrementar las oportunidades de formación para los docentes. Existen diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre ambos grupos en aspectos como la importancia concedida al conocimiento de los contenidos de las materias, en las áreas prioritarias de formación o en la necesidad de contar con profesorado adicional. En términos generales, los maestros muestran una mayor conciencia metodológica con un enfoque docente más cercano a los planteamientos AICLE mientras que los profesores de secundaria están más preocupados por aspectos relativos a la enseñanza de los contenidos de las materias en lengua inglesa.

"Can I study you?" Cross-disciplinary conversations in queer Internet studies
Authors: Marzullo Michelle A. , Rault Jasmine , Cowan T. L.
Published: July 2018

We first met around a workshop table at the queer Internet studies (QIS2) in Philadelphia in February 2017. This conversation began when we realized that we all had some disciplinary knowledges, training and practice that can bear upon queer Internet studies, but simultaneously we felt unprepared for the methodological-ethical challenges posed by the Internet as a queer research environment. Michelle was trained in ethnography as an anthropologist and Jasmine and TL were trained in humanities perspectives — mostly through literature, performance studies and art history, though about five years ago they had begun to retrain in the fields of online archives, pedagogies and networks, which has led to a new collaborative research project on digital research ethics. We had all been trained in dyke/queer/feminist methods and critical theory, and continue to work in this area. And we all were experiencing some gut feelings about the need for better understandings of disciplinary practices — what we are doing, how do we apply what we know how to do, and why are we doing it — across disciplines as we enter the Internet as researchers, in a research situation. What follows is a conversation the three of us had over email and videoconference between July–October 2017, which revolved around the question of what ethnographic methods can bring to Internet research, and what might queer and feminist research ethics look like in the context of digital research environments.
Discurso paulista de modernidade e o museu: Yolanda Penteado, dos salões de arte aos museus regionais do nordeste (1903-1968)
Authors: Pausini Adel Igor Romanov
Published: July 2018

Na Paris do século XIX, era hábito comum entre os aristocratas a promoção de encontros entre pessoas de alta condição social com grupos da intelectualidade para concertos, espetáculos, bailes, tertúlias e demais eventos de salão em ambiente residencial. No Brasil, os salões ganham força no segundo reinado, sobretudo na capital do Império, estendendo o seu prestígio à florescente São Paulo do café no final do século XIX, tornando-se uma autêntica instituição da Belle Époque, tendo como os mais prestigiados os salões de Veridiana da Silva Prado, José de Freitas Valle, Paulo Prado e Olívia Guedes Penteado. Nestes espaços, a aristocracia paulista consolidava o capital social utilizado, o mecenato e a ação pública e privada para a promoção dos próprios interesses, projetos e perspectivas do país. Na década de 1930, os salões perdem força em detrimento da organização de sociedades e grupos de artistas, o que produz, em alguns casos, relativa independência em relação ao mecenato público e privado, permitindo o avanço de experiências de tendências anarquistas e comunistas, rapidamente revertidas enquanto plano hipotético na década de 1940 com a abertura dos grandes museus e eventos de arte em São Paulo, a internacionalização da arte e o financiamento norte-americano, em contexto de Guerra Fria. O êxito do projeto paulista, capitalista, urbano-industrial de museus é levado pela velha aristocracia, ressignificada e financiada pelo capital industrial emergente para outras regiões do país em pleno contexto nacional do regime militar de desenvolver e integrar. Por meio do mecenato exercido de distintos modos, a aristocracia paulista defendeu e implementou, em alguma medida, o seu projeto de modernização conservadora no século XIX e XX, defendendo os seus interesses por meio dos salões e dos museus de arte.
A Política no Paraná com a participação de Imigrantes e descendentes de Poloneses
Authors: Rocha Rafaela Mascarenhas
Published: July 2018

Com a alta produção de erva mate no Paraná a partir da segunda metade do século XIX, surgiu uma crise de abastecimento de alimentos e a necessidade de ocupação de terras devolutas. A solução encontrada pela elite local foi incentivar a vinda de imigrantes europeus, que cultivassem a terra com alimentos para abastecer as cidades. Este trabalho é dedicado a falar do grupo de imigrantes poloneses que veio ao Paraná. O país do leste europeu fora dominado por três impérios durante os séculos XVIII e XIX: Prússia, Áustria e Rússia, e com extrema miséria, fome, doenças e guerras, portanto, a solução de grande parte da população polonesa durante o século XIX foi emigrar. Os poloneses começaram a chegar ao Brasil em 1869, e ao Paraná em 1871, ocupando colônias rurais nos arredores das cidades, e foi este o grupo imigrante mais numeroso no Paraná, conforme Oliveira (2010) chegando a mais de 41 mil imigrantes no Paraná entre 1870 e 1914. Muitos descendentes de poloneses não ficaram no trabalho agrícola, mas se ocuparam da política em Curitiba e em cidades vizinhas, permitindo assim, pensar em uma ação unificada em favor dos interesses e demandas deste grupo de imigrantes e descendentes.
A ETNIA UCRANIANA NA POLÍTICA PARANAENSE
Authors: Alves Alessandro Cavassin
Published: July 2018

O presente texto tem por objetivo contribuir na reflexão sobre a integração social e política das diversas etnias (imigrantes) que foram compondo a população do estado do Paraná, a partir do final do século XIX, tendo como referência uma ampla bibliografia que discute as particularidades que a imigração provocou na população brasileira, principalmente ao sul do país. A etnia estudada é a ucraniana, um povo com características culturais bastante específicas, com destaque à sua religião católico-ucraniana e ortodoxa, e abrangendo brevemente a história de sua imigração, para a qual se dirigiram em sua maioria para o estado do Paraná. O foco do trabalho concentra-se, entretanto, na participação política dos mesmos, isto é, em especial àqueles que foram eleitos para os cargos de deputado estadual e deputado federal, no Paraná, pós 1947. Enfim, os “ucranianos” tiveram acesso, por via eleitoral, à Assembleia Legislativa do Paraná e à Câmara Federal? E mais, ser eleito deputado sinalizava fortemente a integração dos mesmos na sociedade? E, até que ponto, o deputado eleito representava os interesses da etnia a que descende e pertence? Realiza-se, então, uma biografia coletiva destes políticos “ucranianos” eleitos, como forma de se entender o processo de integração deste grupo étnico que compõem a sociedade paranaense pela representatividade política. E utiliza-se de metodologias como a de se conhecer melhor a ampla comunidade ucraniana existente no Paraná, em especial das cidades de Curitiba e Prudentópolis, a revisão bibliográfica sobre os ucranianos, leituras de jornais, biografias e entrevistas com deputados e ex-deputados para compreender suas percepções sobre o tema.
O “Clã da Lapa” na formação da classe dominante paranaense
Authors: Pereira Fernando Marcelino
Published: July 2018

No século XIX, as classes dominantes no Paraná foram formadas pelas famílias tradicionais da Lapa, Castro, Paranaguá e Antonina que passaram a viver em Curitiba, dedicando-se à industria ervateira e ao aparelho de Estado. Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar o papel do “Clã da Lapa” na formação da classe dominante do Paraná (todas as famílias com origens históricas no latifúndio escravista da Lapa – Ferreira, Amaral, Pacheco, Lacerda, Correa, Braga, Rezende, Cunha, Suplicy, Pereira, Coelho, Porto, Westphalen, entre outras - aparentadas entre si), formando uma ampla rede familiar que ocupou os centros de poder da Lapa e do Paraná.
Valder Lima Sarmanho, André Franco Montoro: Nepotismo no BNDES?
Authors: Estevinho Glória
Published: July 2018

O que se propõe, para este artigo, é uma investigação dentro do quadro dos presidentes do BNDES (Banco Nacional do Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social) sobre a frequência ou não de uma linhagem de parentesco na composição do mesmo. Em nossa primeira verificação visualizamos dois nomes com relação de parentesco em órgãos do governo, desse modo, dedicamos atenção ao primeiro nome que salta aos olhos no quadro diretivo a saber: Valder Lima Sarmanho, o qual, ocupa a segunda cadeira na direção do banco e carrega a alcunha de cunhado do então presidente Getúlio Vargas, assim como André Franco Montoro Filho herdeiro do 27º governador de São Paulo, ocupante da 16ª cadeira na direção do banco. Propomos apresentar dados que contribuam com a genealogia do poder levando em conta seus capitais culturais, sociais e políticos na relação de cargos dentro desta instituição. Nossos esforços tentarão dar conta da linhagem parental, da construção dos capitais sociais, cultural e profissional de modo a proporcionar o reconhecimento do funcionamento da ocupação dos cargos dentro dos órgãos públicos em geral e, mais específico neste banco. O que embasa nossos questionamentos são as produções realizadas pelo NEP sobre parentesco e familismo, bem como o entendimento sobre o comportamento dessas elites no país. O método de análise utilizado, para a compreensão do acima proposto, será o prosopográfico. A partir da prosopografia busca-se entender o perfil geral destes diretores e de que maneira isto influenciaria nas diretrizes adotadas por esse banco. Portanto, o problema que se coloca é identificar essa “elite política/administrativa”, fundada sobre pesquisas empíricas. Esse estudo se faz necessário e se justifica, pois pouco ou nada se sabe sobre quem foram e quais os perfis destes diretores do BNDES. Esta análise específica a que se propõe este trabalho pode contribuir para a discussão mais ampla sobre o que é o Brasil e sua formação e mesmo o processo de formação dessa elite promovido no século XX pelo governo Vargas.
A Comparative Study of Shift Work: Days, Nights, and Weekends: Which Shift Yields Higher Output and Lower Defects
Authors: McConkey Keeley , Koromyslova Ekaterina
Published: July 2018

The purpose of this study is to determine if there are statistically significant differences in the performance output for three different shifts in an electronic manufacturer. The primary focus of this paper will study day, night, and weekend shift and compare productivity using Analysis of Variance. The secondary focus of this paper is to understand if variables such as shift, number of changeovers, and management affect productivity and quality using Multiple Regression. By understanding if and what these differences are, manufacturing can be optimized to provide consistency across the different shifts.Statistical analysis indicated that there are differences in productivity among two value streams, while the remaining two indicated no differences. Furthermore, one value stream revealed that changeovers affect productivity while shift and management were insignificant factors for all value streams.
