PEMETAAN JALUR DAN TINGGALAN PERKERETAAPIAN MASA KOLONIAL BELANDA DI WILAYAH CIREBON TIMUR
Authors: Hermawan Iwan , Mainaki Revi
Published: May 2020

Cirebon is one of the regions in West Java Province with a coastal landcape, its strategic location and fertile land makes Cirebon rich in agricultural resources. These conditions encouraged the Dutch Government to exploit and occupy in Cirebon. The relatively abundant exploitation of commodities has led to the establishment of efficient transportation facilities for transporting agricultural products. Railroad is an efficient transportation transportation technology that at that time developed, so railroad lines, stations and stops were built with all the facilities. The first development was the Semarang - Cirebon route with the tram class of 1897 and continued to experience development. Through a qualitative approach with a descriptive explorative research method this research seeks to map and identify railroad relics in the Cirebon Region, based on Geographic Information System technology (GIS) to obtain historical social information on the development of the Cirebon Region during the Dutch Colonial period. Data was collected through observation by tracing rail tracks so that railroad relics were found in the form of railroad tracks, stations and stops that were still functioning or those that were no longer active. The tracing data was strengthened with literature studies, literature studies and documentation studies and then analyzed with the Geographic Information System so that a map of the railroad distribution was obtained and described in written form. The results of the study found railroad relics in the form of former railroad tracks, former station buildings and former stops with various supporting facilities including the former buildings of Mundu Station, Warudurur, Kanci, Sindanglaut, Karangsuwung, Jatiseeng, Ciledug, Losari and Babakan. Then stop at Jatipiring, Cibogo, Waled, Luwunggajah, and Titik Simpang Bedilan. The remains are scattered along the former railroad tracks, both those that are still functioning and those that are no longer active.

Published: May 2020

Arjuna dalam wayang kulit memiliki bentuk ekspresi (disebut dengan wanda) yang penciptaannya didasarkan pada bentuk dan posisi tubuh dan diidentifikasi dengan menggunakan rasa. Penelitian ini melangkah lebih jauh dari sekedar rasa untuk mencari diferensiasi secara terukur pada wanda-wanda Arjuna dan membaca pola dari diferensiasi tersebut. Penelitian ini bersifat kuantitatif dengan mengukur dan menghitung secara matematis elemen-elemen Arjuna wayang kulit. Arjuna wayang kulit dalam penelitian ini dilihat sebagai suatu struktur di mana setiap elemen-elemennya terkait satu sama lain sehingga dapat diketahui diferensiasinya. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa terdapat pola diferensiasi yang bersifat kontinum dari tiga yang menjadi obyek penelitian, di mana wanda Kinanthi mengantarai diferensiasi wanda Kedhu yang menjadi patokan (titik awal) dan wanda Muntap yang menjadi titik akhir. Pola yang muncul ini dapat digunakan untuk memperkirakan arah penciptaan wanda berikutnya.

Authors: Nur Aulia Elsa Silvia
Published: May 2020

Latar belakang pada penelitian ini adalah diawali dengan kebijakan dari Departemen Agama dan Departemen Pendidikan Tinggi (Dikti) tentang mata kuliah Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) di PTU diajarkan menggunakan pendekatan integratif yakni perpaduan agama dan sains sehingga mahasiswa tidak hanya menangkap ajaran agama Islam secara doctrinal-normatif-subjektif tetapi menangkap pula sisi rasional-objektif-ilmiahnya, hal ini pula yang dituntut oleh pihak PTU. Pada kenyataannya di lapangan, upaya integrasi ini belum terlaksana dengan baik, pendidikan agama Islam yang diberikan masih cenderung doktrinal, bahkan lebih mengarah kepada pengajaran fiqih atau jurisprudensi Islam. Adapun tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kompetensi dosen Agama Islam di ITB dalam menggunakan pendekatan integratif guna mencapai ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) learning outcomes. Metode dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data observasi, studi dokumentasi dan wawancara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sepanjang tahun 2019 â€“ 2020, dosen agama Islam di ITB telah melakukan pendekatan integratif agama dan sains untuk mencapai ABET outcomes learning, namun hasilnya belum maksimal

Published: May 2020

The growing of technology has invited the traditional pedagogical method supporters to integrate technology in education. This paper investigates the student perceptions as digital natives on the application of flipped classroom model. The flipped classroom employs lecturing video as homework and group discussion as classroom activities. The participants in this study were 120 students aged 19-20 years old who were born as millennial generation and had the experience of the flipped classroom model. Using a descriptive qualitative, the issue was observed and investigated. To elicit the student perceptions, this study used an open-ended questionnaire to investigate these studentsâ€™ opinions and attitudes toward the implementation of the model and its advantages and disadvantages. As the result shows, that flipped classroom gives more benefits over the drawbacks. The implementation of flipped classroom has attractively motivated students to be engaged in the classroom activity. The students perceive that the flipped classroom model has positively transformed their attitude and behavior in learning and flipped into a new way of learning. They argue that the procedural steps in flipped classroom model such as video observation and discussion help them understand the materials better and to be an independent learner. To conclude, the implementation of flipped classroom model gains the studentsâ€™ positive views over the negative perceptions.

BIBFRAME Linked Data: A Conceptual Study on the Prevailing Content Standards and Data Model
Authors: Park Jung-Ran , Brenza Andrew , Richards Lori
Published: May 2020

The BIBFRAME model is designed with a high degree of flexibility in that it can accommodate any number of existing models as well as models yet to be developed within the Web environment. The model’s flexibility is intended to foster extensibility. This study discusses the relationship of BIBFRAME to the prevailing content standards and models employed by cultural heritage institutions across museums, archives, libraries, historical societies, and community centers or those in the process of being adopted by cultural heritage institutions. This is to determine the degree to which BIBFRAME, as it is currently understood, can be a viable and extensible framework for bibliographic description and exchange in the Web environment. We highlight the areas of compatibility as well as areas of incompatibility. BIBFRAME holds the promise of freeing library data from the silos of online catalogs permitting library data to interact with data both within and outside the library community. We discuss some of the challenges that need to be addressed in order to optimize the potential capabilities that the BIBFRAME model holds.
Generalized and Fundamental Solutions of Motion Equations of Two-Component Biot’s Medium
Authors: Alexeyeva Lyudmila , Kurmanov Yergali
Published: May 2020

Here processes of wave propagation in a two-component Biot’s medium are considered, which are generated by arbitrary forces actions. By using Fourier transformation of generalized functions, a fundamental solution, Green tensor, of motion equations of this medium has been constructed in a non-stationary case and in the case of stationary harmonic oscillation. These tensors describe the processes of wave propagation (in spaces of dimensions 1, 2, 3) under an action of power sources concentrated at coordinates origin, which are described by a singular delta-function. Based on them, generalized solutions of these equations are constructed under the action of various sources of periodic and non-stationary perturbations, which are described by both regular and singular generalized functions. For regular acting forces, integral representations of solutions are given that can be used to calculate the stress-strain state of a porous water-saturated medium.
Succession after Fire in a Coastal Pine Forest in Norway
Authors: Skre Oddvar
Published: May 2020

Biomass and chemical composition in six dominant field and bottom layer species have been recorded for 5 years after a wildfire in a coastal pine forest in Sveio, West Norway, in June 1992. As a follow-up of this study, the percentage coverage of field and bottom layer species and the regeneration of main tree species (Pinus sylvestris, Betula pubescens, and Salix spp.) were recorded in 1997, 2001, and 2008. Preliminary results indicate that the three dominant field layer species, Calluna vulgaris, Molinia caerulea, and Pteridium aquilinum, had expanded at the expense of other species, in particular Vaccinium myrtillus, V. vitis-idaea, Deschampsia flexuosa, and pioneer moss species, for example, Polytrichum spp. Seedlings of pine and saplings of birch and other deciduous species had established in the burned areas, and the succession of these species was followed and compared with nearby control plots. The strong growth of Calluna vulgaris after the fire indicates that periodic controlled burning may be an alternative management method of balancing carbon uptake rates in coastal areas of western Norway.
Plasticity in Interferon Responses Modulates T-Cell Immunity in Parasitic Infections: Periphery to Thymus
Authors: Thakur Lovlesh , Akhtar Nadeem , Jain Aklank , Parkash Hridayesh , Jain Manju
Published: May 2020

Parasitic infections are the major threat prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world. Different parasitic infections take a huge toll on mortality and morbidity at global level. Different parasites invade the host system, multiply inside host cells of their choice and sabotage defense mechanisms to overpower the host. T-cell immunity is majorly affected in different parasitic diseases such that the peripheral T-cell immune response is altered along with lesser explored thymic changes. Direct and/or indirect effect of parasitic infection leads to alterations in T-cell development, differentiation and activation resulting in deregulated T-cell immune mechanisms. Cytokines of interferon family play a significant role in determining the disease outcome and severity. Therefore, in this chapter, we here provide a detailed overview of the functional role played by IFNs during parasitic diseases in terms of their influence on peripheral T-cell activation and tolerance along with lesser explored impact on developing T cells in the thymus with altered microenvironmental niches.
Evaluation of the Research Protocol by Ethical Committee
Authors: Santos Paulo , Teixeira Pedro , Beça Helena , Hespanhol Alberto
Published: May 2020

Nowadays, the submission of a research project to an ethical committee and its approval is mandatory. However, researchers often overlook this obligation, because they are too engaged in the design and the process of construction of the study, because of the common tight deadlines, and many times because some devaluation of the role of the committee. Based on our experience of 10 years working in an ethical committee, we propose a way to get close researchers and evaluators, respecting their own aims but bringing them together as partners in the investigation process, protecting patients’ values, at the same time that makes it possible to implement strategies to answer to the research question and to create useful knowledge. Our aim is to smoothen the way researchers look to the ethical committee and, at the same time, to make them understand what really is at stake. Ethics should be a commitment for all and not an obligation.

Authors: Rider Ashley , Dreyfuss Andrea , Inga Roberto
Published: May 2020

Ebstein’s anomaly is a congenital heart defect that when left untreated can lead to unique physical exam and ultrasound findings. This case describes a patient who presented with dyspnea and was found to have cyanosis, clubbing, and dilation of right-sided chambers on point-of-care ultrasound. The series of images highlights findings in late-stage Ebstein’s anomaly and serves as a springboard for the discussion of the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of this rare congenital heart disease.

Authors: Tetali Bhavana , Grahf Daniel , Abou Asala Elian , Axelson Daniel
Published: May 2020

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is an infection caused by the Echinococcus granulosus tapeworm. CE generally manifests in the liver, but it may present in any organ. These patients often first present to the emergency department. Mortality over 10 years is significant for those who go undiagnosed. We report the case of a 34-year-old patient who immigrated from Yemen six years earlier. She presented with acute onset dysuria, suprapubic pain, and fever. Imaging revealed a primary multicystic mass on the right renal pole with a secondary lesion in the right hepatic lobe. On further investigation, the patient’s serum was positive for echinococcus antibodies.
Diet-induced Ketoacidosis in a Non-diabetic: A Case Report
Authors: Slade Sam , Ashurst John
Published: May 2020

Introduction: Anion gap metabolic acidosis is a common disorder seen in the emergency department. The differential can include toxicological, renal, endocrine, infectious, and cardiogenic disorders. Ketosis, however, is one of the rarer causes of metabolic acidosis seen by the emergency physician in developed nations.

Case Report: A 53-year-old female presented after starting a low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet for weight loss. She reported xerostomia, nausea with abdominal pain and a 17-pound weight loss over the previous 22 days. Labs revealed an anion-gap metabolic acidosis with ketosis. She was treated with 5% dextrose in normal saline and a sliding scale insulin coverage. Her anion gap corrected during her hospital course and was discharged on hospital day three.

Discussion: The ketogenic diet typically consists of a high-fat, adequate protein and low carbohydrate diet that has previously been thought to be relatively safe for weight loss. However, when carbohydrates are completely removed from the diet an overproduction of ketones bodies results in ketoacidosis. Treatment should be aimed at halting the ketogenic process and patient education.

Conclusion: Although rarely included in the differential for metabolic acidosis, diet-induced ketosis should be included by the emergency physician when faced with a patient who recently changed their eating patterns.
Euglycemic Diabetic Ketoacidosis in Concurrent Very Low-carbohydrate Diet and Sodium-glucose Transporter-2 Inhibitor Use: A Case Report
Authors: Earle Matthew , Ault Brian , Bonney Caitlin
Published: May 2020

Introduction: With the incredibly high incidence of Type 2 Diabetes in the current population of emergency department patients, it is critical for clinicians to understand the possible complications of the treatment of this disease. Medication like canagliflozin are more common to encounter on patient’s home medication lists and clinicians should be aware of how these medications, alone or combined with dietary modifications, can result in significant pathology and even mortality if not appropriately treated.

Case Report: We report a case of a patient with type II diabetes mellitus who presented with euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis in the setting of concurrent use of canagliflozin, a sodium-glucose transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor, and strict adherence to a low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet for weight control.

Discussion: Euglycemic ketoacidosis has previously been observed in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients following strict ketogenic diets, as well as in diabetic patients being treated with SGLT-2 inhibitors.

Conclusion: As more patients choose ketogenic diets for weight control and diabetes management, clinicians should be aware of this potentially life-threatening complication in patients concurrently taking SGLT-2 inhibitors.
Ultrasonography of a Helical Left Common Carotid Artery
Authors: Busack Bethany , Tran Vy , Busack Christopher , Butts Christine
Published: May 2020

Case Presentation: An 83-year-old woman was admitted to the intensive care unit for septic shock at which point an internal jugular central venous line was placed. The patient’s common carotid artery was visualized in an atypical location, lateral to the internal jugular vein. Further inspection revealed the common carotid artery travelling in a rotational trajectory around the internal jugular vein.

Discussion: For at least two decades, point-of-care ultrasound has become the standard of care for placing central venous lines. This surprising anatomical orientation is rare and cautions physicians to fully explore a patient’s anatomy prior to placing central lines.

Authors: Chitty Alexandra , Cardriche Dennis , Matese Thomas
Published: May 2020

Introduction: Early stage gastric cancer is usually asymptomatic. It is not until later stages of the disease, usually with metastasis, that patients typically develop symptoms that would prompt further evaluation.

Case Report: We present a case of a patient with chronic back pain who was found to have a gastric antral mass as the etiology of her pain. The patient proceeded to have a partial gastrectomy with complete surgical excision of her early-stage gastric cancer, after which her chronic back pain resolved.

Conclusion: This case demonstrates the importance of considering significant pathology in patients presenting with chronic complaints to the emergency department.
In Silico Design of Multi-Epitope ESAT-6:Ag85b:Fcγ2a Fusion Protein as a Novel Candidate for Tuberculosis Vaccine
Authors: Keikha Masoud , Karbalaei Mohsen , Ghazvini Kiarash
Published: May 2020

: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), which is the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), is among the most important infectious bacteria with high morbidity and mortality rates worldwide. Bacilli Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine has been discovered for about a century, and it is considered as a major vaccine for humans. However, some factors, such as its attenuated nature and its inefficacy against the latent form of the disease, have led to the use of alternative vaccines. Multi-epitope subunit vaccines are new-generation vaccines that are being developed in clinical trial phases. For the production of a subunit vaccine, the selection of immunodominant antigens and targeted delivery systems to antigen presenting cells (APCs) are considered as basic parameters. In the present study, we designed the novel multi-epitope ESAT-6:Ag85B:Fcγ2a, which was evaluated completely by various online tools as an optimum vaccine against TB. The early secreted antigenic target of 6 kDa (ESAT-6) and antigen 85B (Ag85B) are two immunodominant antigens, and Fcγ2a is a targeted delivery system. This vaccine candidate can be used for future preclinical studies.

Published: May 2020

Background: Due to significant effect of joint orthodontic and surgical treatment planning on the patients’ facial appearances, precise prediction of surgical outcomes is of great importance. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the maxillary and mandibular centers of rotation and its distance to center of condyle (CC) in patients who underwent maxillary impaction surgery concomitant with mandibular advancement or setback surgery and also to determine the correlation between maxillary center of rotation (MxCR) with that of mandible (MnCR) and also the direction of rotation in distal and proximal segments of the mandible. Methods: Preoperative and postoperative lateral cephalograms of 24 adult non-syndromic patients were studied. Using cephalometric tracings MxCR was located as the intersection of ANS-PNS (preoperative) and ANS’-PNS’ (postoperative) lines. MnCR was located using Reuleaux method, where perpendicular bisectors of B-B’ and Go-Go’ lines meet. Using statistical analysis of correlation and comparison, all the points’ coordinates and centers of rotation were compared. Results: The average distance of MnCR to CC was 10.45 cm and the average distance of MxCR to CC was 8.39 cm. MxCR and MnCR had positive correlation in horizontal plane and they had negative correlation in vertical plane but the correlation was insignificant (P > 0.05). In addition, there seemed to be no specific pattern in the direction of mandibular proximal and distal segments’ rotations. Conclusions: The results showed that: (1) The center of rotation calculated for mandible after bimaxillary surgery was not located within the condylar area. But generally whenever MxCR was closer to ANS, MnCR was located more anteriorly. (2) In patients with decreased distance between MxCR and SN line, MnCR would be located more superiorly. Also, whenever MxCR had greater distance from condyle, the MnCR to condyle distance was greater too. (3) The direction of rotation in proximal and distal segments of mandible had no specific pattern.
Comparative morphology of immature Trictenotoma formosana Kriesche, 1919 and systematic position of the Trictenotomidae (Coleoptera, Tenebrionoidea)
Authors: Hu Fang-Shuo , Pollock Darren A. , Telnov Dmitry
Published: May 2020

Detailed description and illustrations of immature Trictenotoma Gray, 1832 (Trictenotomidae Blanchard, 1845) are presented for the first time, based on larvae and pupae of T. formosana Kriesche, 1919. Characters exhibited by the mature larva are similar to those described by Gahan (1908) for T. childreni Gray, 1832, which was based on a single specimen. The phylogenetic position of Trictenotomidae has varied among Scarabaeoidea, Chrysomeloidea and Tenebrionoidea, though recent studies place the family clearly among the latter. Features of the immature stages described here corroborate this placement. Evidence supports placement within or near the “salpingid group” (Pythidae, Salpingidae, Boridae, Pyrochroidae). Distinguishing features of the mature trictenotomid larva include the absence of stemmata, antennal sensorium, urogomphal pit(s) and lip, the presence of paired series of longitudinal ridges on the meso- and metathorax and abdominal tergites 1–8 and sternites 2–8, a paired arcuate row of 12–15 asperities on the anterior margin of sternite 9 and relatively short, upturned urogomphi. The systematic position of trictenotomids within the Tenebrionoidea Latreille, 1802 is confirmed. The phylogenetic relationships among Trictenotomidae and other “salpingid group” members (e.g., Pythidae Solier, 1834 and Salpingidae Leach, 1815) are highlighted and discussed, solving an almost two centuries old puzzle in Coleoptera systematics.
Replacement of Procambarus acutissimus (Girard) by non-indigenous Procambarus clarkii (Girard) in a disturbed wetland

Published: May 2020

Of the nearly 600 crayfish species worldwide, more than half are native to North America. The southeastern USA is the epicenter of global crayfish species richness. There is concern about the conservation status of many crayfish species and the viability of their populations. Procambarus acutissimus is a surface dwelling crayfish that is native in Mississippi and Alabama and has isolated populations in west Georgia. Its limited distribution in Georgia prompted this re-assessment of a previously surveyed population in a wetland complex near Columbus, Georgia. To assess the population status of P. acutissimus, we used baited Gee minnow traps to survey crayfish in 2014 following similar protocols used in a 1994 survey. Catches from the littoral zone of a borrow pit lake shifted from only P. acutissimus in 1994 to only Procambarus clarkii, a non-indigenous, invasive species in 2014. Trapping in 2014 documented P. acutissimus in only one of five isolated wetland depressions sampled. Procambarus clarkii appears to be replacing P. acutissimus in this wetland complex. Our results suggest that P. clarkii may displace other crayfish, particularly those that share its affinity for wetland habitats.
Re-description of the Orbost spiny crayfish, Euastacus diversus Riek 1969 (Decapoda: Parastacidae), in eastern Victoria, Australia
Authors: Coughran Jason , McCormack Robert B. , Fetzner James W.
Published: May 2020

We present a thorough redescription of the endangered freshwater crayfish Euastacus diversus Riek, based on morphological and genetic analyses of newly collected material from eastern Victoria, Australia. The species displays a remarkably diverse morphology, particularly regarding the two key features previously used in its diagnosis: spination of the antennal squame and thorax. Genetic variation is also evident between populations, although this does not correlate with morphological variation. The distribution of the species is extended to 19 sites in the Brodribb, Yalmy, Rodger and Bonang River drainages at elevations ranging from 350 – 950 m a.s.l., with an overall Extent of Occurrence of 465 km2. To accommodate the revised taxonomy of this species, and to facilitate conservation and management efforts, we provide a key to this and similar species in Victoria.
Groundwater chemistry and soils have limited influence on the habitat-scale distribution of Cambarus harti Hobbs
Authors: Gilmer Jess H. , Keller Troy
Published: May 2020

Primary burrowing crayfish constitute 32% of crayfish considered imperiled, yet little is known about their autecology. To advance our knowledge about burrowing crayfish, groundwater chemistry and soils were assessed at sites containing the state-listed, endangered Cambarus harti Hobbs. Water chemistry was collected and analyzed every one to four weeks from January 2014 – August 2014 from wells (< 2 m deep) at four sites in Meriwether County (GA). Water samples were collected from wells near active burrows, wells without burrows, and burrows showing activity. To assess crayfish soil preferences, three soil cores were collected within ten meters of each well and dry sieved to determine percent sand and silt/clay. Water from wells (with/without crayfish) and burrows showed no differences in potassium, iron, manganese, and silica concentrations. Burrow water showed elevated chloride concentrations. Soils were sand-rich and contained only minor amounts of silt/clay. Soils differed slightly among sites but showed no difference between locations with and without burrows. Thus, bedrock and soils appear to be relatively homogeneous over the spatial scales studied. It is unclear if crayfish activity elevates chloride concentrations in burrows. These results corroborate previous research suggesting groundwater chemistry and soil texture are not the exclusive environmental factors controlling the distribution of primary burrowing crayfish.
Site specific assessments of burrow- and lentic-dwelling crayfish communities: A proposed sampling design
Authors: Taylor Christopher A. , Engelbert Bryan S. , DiStefano Robert J.
Published: May 2020

We conducted a study to investigate methods to assess crayfish populations typically found in low gradient, lentic, floodplain habitats in Missouri. We used a random site selection process that allowed us to capture all known species from this region of Missouri. We compared two sampling methods for primary burrowing crayfishes at our sampling sites: hook-and-line capture technique and burrow excavation. Adjacent standing water habitats at sites were also sampled using a timed search method. Hook-and-line capture success was substantially less than reported in the literature (0.7% versus 80%), while burrow excavation was higher than reported (64% versus 40.7%). We successfully captured six crayfish species using burrow excavation, whereas lentic timed search sampling captured nine species in adjacent standing waters at our sampling sites. Our results suggest that additional efforts sampling lentic habitats rather than additional time searching for and excavating burrows is more likely to capture total community richness. We found a seasonal influence on burrow occupancy surveys, as Julian day was positively correlated to finding active crayfish burrows. Crayfish capture in standing water was positively affected by soil temperature, and negatively correlated to Julian day.
Utilization of pit telemetry to assess microhabitat affinities of stream-dwelling female crayfish during reproductive seclusion
Authors: Black Tyler R. , Mattingly Hayden T. , Smith David D.
Published: May 2020

Stream habitat-use of female crayfish during brooding of eggs and hatchlings is a poorly studied aspect of crayfish life history and ecology. Our goal was to use passive integrated transponder (PIT) technology to describe diurnal habitat-use patterns of females of two crayfish species during reproductive seclusion. PIT tags were externally attached to female Cambarus friaufi in Pine Creek, Tennessee, USA and Orconectes meeki meeki in Rock Creek, Missouri, USA. Crayfish were tracked with a portable detector and habitatuse was assessed in 2008 for C. friaufi and 2009 for O. m. meeki. PIT tags proved to be a highly effective tool for relocating crayfish, with = 85% of tagged individuals located at least once. Substrate roughness was identified as the most important variable for both species during brooding, followed by additional substrate-related variables, water velocity, and water depth. Cambarus friaufi, however, was more of a generalist and used microhabitat variables in close proportion to availability, whereas O. m. meeki showed more specialized use of brooding habitat variables. Our results suggest that female crayfish reproductive seclusion is closely linked to sufficiently heterogeneous substrate. Reductions in substrate quality could potentially alter crayfish reproductive capacity, thus impacting biodiversity and productivity of streams.
Crayfish fauna of the Maksimir Lakes in the urban area of Zagreb
Authors: Njegovan Vanja , Orešković Mislav , Hudina Sandra , Maguire Ivana
Published: May 2020

Due to the increasing anthropogenic pressures and the introduction of invasive alien species, indigenous crayfish species are rarely found in the urban areas of big cities. The aim of this research was to study, for the first time, presence and distribution of freshwater crayfish in artificial lakes of the Maksimir Park, located in the centre of Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. Additionally, the goal was to estimate population size and structure, and analyse morphometric characteristics, the proportion of injuries and crayfish body condition. In 4 out of 5 lakes within the park, two crayfish species, Astacus astacus and Astacus leptodactylus, were recorded with no overlap in their distribution. Each species was established in two lakes in relatively abundant populations. Differences in body condition, sex ratio and proportion of injuries were recorded between species. Recorded differences are most likely the result of different trapping techniques applied, predation of alien invasive species of turtles and intraspecific competition. Obtained results will serve as a baseline for further research and monitoring of the crayfish fauna in the Maksimir lakes.

We present data and results from a 9-year survey (2009 – 2017) of the Lake Saimaa signal crayfish population in Finland. This population has a history of chronic infection with Aphanomyces astaci. It has now been discovered that female signal crayfish from Lake Saimaa suffer from various stages of eroded swimmeret syndrome (ESS), and male crayfish also show symptoms of ESS-like trauma (i.e., eroded swimmerets and gonopods). Our data demonstrates the prevalence of A. astaci infection, with gross symptoms prevailing throughout the duration of the entire 2009 – 2017 survey, and that prevalence of ESS among female signal crayfish is correlated with the prevalence of A. astaci infection in the population. The data shows that an increasing proportion of female crayfish suffer from ESS, and have regenerated swimmerets, however, our observations indicate that partially regenerated swimmerets do not fully function during egg hatching. Based on data and observations during the survey, we speculate that low production levels, as indicated by the low catch per unit effort (CPUE), within the Lake Saimaa signal crayfish population could be related to both high A. astaci infection levels and ESS prevalence among females. The former could be causing increasing mortality among adult crayfish and the latter could be lowering Lake Saimaa signal crayfish reproductive output.

A fotografia autoral como tradução de memórias e afecções subjetivas em diálogos compartilhados nas ações educativas no espaço cultural
Authors: Sabiá Ana Paula
Published: May 2020

O presente ensaio apresenta parte da série fotográfica autoral intitulada “Do porão ao sótão” na qual busco traduzir e criar em imagens, memórias e devaneios poéticos a partir de referências na literatura de Clarice Lispector e Gaston Bachelard. Exploro a relação entre a casa e o corpo como simbolismos, subjetividades e coletividades a partir de justaposições que tramam arte, psicanálise e fenomenologia. A série, em questão, foi exposta  em 2019 à públicos variados, de modo que as ações educativas propostas no espaço cultural também foram diversas. Para visibilizar alguns daqueles diálogos fotográficos, selecionei um grupo específico de idosas e idosos que visitaram a exposição e relataram suas memórias e afecções.
Os retratos, a terra e o que há acima e abaixo dela
Authors: Marin Monique Burigo
Published: May 2020

Através de retratos e autorretratos de períodos diversos, verifica-se por meio de recurso didático comparativo a permanência de temas como o tempo, os ciclos, os diferentes tipos de morte e vida e a relação com a natureza expressos em pintura e fotografias de artistas brasileiros e estrangeiros, como os já consagrados John Everett Millais e Francesca Woodman, mas também abordando a produção de artistas fotógrafas da região Sul do Brasil: Danny Bittencourt, Sarah Uriarte e Lilian Barbon, que se encontram em diferentes momentos de suas carreiras. Há um fio condutor entre as obras, que se relacionam, embora nunca tenham se encontrado antes. Acredita-se que existe forte ligação entre aquilo que se assemelha e, por este motivo, a escolha das imagens não se dá por acaso e julga-se necessário colocá-las em diálogo.
A fotografia e o sentir: não vidência e outros sentidos.
Authors: Melo Cristianne , Costa Ian
Published: May 2020

O Projeto A Fotografia e o Sentir compreende o ensino e a prática fotográfica junto aos alunos do IEACN - Instituto de Educação e Assistência aos Cegos do Nordeste, localizado na cidade de Campina Grande - PB. Sua realização encontra-se ancorada na oportunidade de ampliar as pesquisas sobre acessibilidade e inclusão, bem como desenvolver recursos didáticos e metodológicos ao difundir a fotografia para pessoas com deficiência visual. Deste modo, este estudo abarca de maneira não exaustiva o uso da multissensorialidade para a construção imagética, ao explorar estímulos auditivos e táteis na produção, leitura e recepção de fotografias. O texto propõe um debate sobre as contribuições da percepção e do sentir para o processo de aprendizagem e a importância de oportunizar ao aluno não vidente o papel de fonte emissora e criativa. O percurso teórico envolveu Vygotsky (1997), Schafer (2003), Duarte Júnior (2012), Alves (2009) entre outros.
O artesanal e o mecânico na série Silhuetas e Fantasmagorias de Manuela Siebert
Authors: Costa Lima Wagner Jonasson da
Published: May 2020

O texto aborda a relação estabelecida entre pintura e imagem técnica na produção da artista catarinense Manuela Siebert, procurando investigar como essa associação interferiu no processo de elaboração e na visualidade de seus trabalhos. Para tanto, considera a fatura de determinadas pinturas da série intitulada Silhuetas e Fantasmagorias. Nesse conjunto de telas, a artista procurou conferir à pintura um aspecto semelhante à da imagem mecanicamente impressa, adotando, para esse fim, técnicas e materiais pertencentes à esfera do design e da comunicação visual. Com isso, Manuela incorporou, no interior da sua prática pictórica, uma lógica próxima ao do modo de produção industrial, assinalado pela divisão entre projeto e execução. Realizadas em estágios pré-determinados, as pinturas da série exibem contornos e cores que lembram a superfície impessoal e estandardizada das imagens veiculadas pelos meios de comunicação de massa.
Fragmentos colecionistas
Authors: Da Silva Tharciana Goulart
Published: May 2020

Resumo: Neste ensaio visual, apresento parte de minha pesquisa artística referente aos encontros entre coleção e cianotipia. A coleção surgiu ainda na adolescência; ela é o desejo pela coleta e pelo encontro do que constantemente pode passar despercebido. A prática em cianotipia foi iniciada em 2015 e, com a ela, o olhar exploratório da coleção enquanto arquivo para imagens. A fotografia neste ensaio aborda também o campo da pintura, da mancha, da marca do pincel ou da veladura. O azul expande-se em fragmentos, mas também deixa transparecer o colecionado.Palavras-chave: Coleção, cianotipia, arquivo.
The Role of Family Practices in Doing Family in the Context of Migration: Case of Lithuania
Authors: Česnuitytė Vida
Published: May 2020

The aim of the research is to analyse the role of family practices in the Lithuanian family formation under normal circumstances and in the case of migration of family members. The research object is family practices, which include routine practices, traditions and festivities. Hypothesis H is tested in the research: family practices are important for the Lithuanian family formation because they define the boundary between family members and non-family members, depending on their place of residence – within the country or abroad. The hypothesis is tested based on the empirical data collected in Lithuania: 2018 data collected in a quota survey of the country’s population. The survey was carried out in the framework of the researchers’ group project ‘Global Migration and the Lithuanian Family: Family Practices, Care Circulation and Return Strategies’ whose funding was provided by the Lithuanian Research Council (LMTLT) (Contract No. S-MIP-17-117). The analysis of 13 family practices grouped into four formal groups (routine practices, traditions, religious festivities and secular festivities) supports the hypothesis and suggests that family practices involving individuals contribute to family formation, both in usual life and in migration circumstances when family formation takes place across national borders. The power of gathering together family members, both in usual life and when a family member emigrates, is characterized by festivities, first and foremost by St. Christmas Eve. In addition, in the context of migration, family members are brought together by common financial issues, holidays at least once a year and festivity of St. Christmas. Meanwhile, household issues, daily routine and meals together at least once a week are losing their role of family gathering in the context of migration. The family practices like birthdays or New Year’s Eve celebrations bring together non-family members mostly.

Social Practice of the Restoration of Equal Opportunities in Lithuania: Personal Experience of Discrimination
Authors: Kublickienė Lilija
Published: May 2020

The article deals with such empirical measures of the quality of democracy as the attitude of the Lithuanian population towards the implementation of the principle of equal opportunities, their preparedness to fight discrimination, and the social experience of the population in the restoration of violated rights. The social practice of restoring violated rights to equal opportunities and non-discrimination is examined in the context of microsociology, that is, at the level of individual cases. Discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation has been chosen for the analysis of individual experience and the examination of social practices for the restoration of violated rights, because, given the high prevalence of discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and the very low number of people willing to defend their rights, it can be argued that this ground of discrimination plays a crucial role in identifying factors that encourage and/or limit people’s willingness to protect their rights. The paper presents a summary of the qualitative interviews conducted with those who have been discriminated on the basis of their sexual orientation and provides insights from experts with experience in dealing with such cases.
