Authors: Cepeda Alice , Nowotny Kathryn M. , Frankeberger Jessica , Onge Jarron M. Saint , Valdez Avelardo
Published: August 2018

Objectives:

Little research has examined the long-term health consequences of gang affiliation among Mexican Americans. The objectives of this study were to (1) measure biological indicators of cardiovascular and metabolic risk, as well as prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), in a sample of Mexican American men aged 25-40 who were affiliated with gangs as adolescents and (2) compare those indicators with a comparable national sample of Latino men.

Methods:

Using bivariate analyses, we compared blood pressure, body mass index, 4 metabolic and cardiovascular indicators, and 4 infections for 179 Mexican American formerly gang-affiliated men in San Antonio, Texas, and 155 Mexican American men from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. We used multivariate models to estimate adjusted risk scores for each sample controlling for age, marital status, and education.

Results:

Compared with men in the national sample, the unadjusted results showed that men in the gang-affiliated sample had significantly higher mean systolic blood pressure (125.6 vs 120.0  mm Hg, P = .001), diastolic blood pressure (81.4 vs 71.1 mm Hg, P < .001), and C-reactive protein (5.9 vs 3.6 mg/L, P = .04), and a significantly lower mean total cholesterol (164.2 vs 205.5 mg/dL, P < .001) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (91.1 vs 120.1 mg/dL, P < .001). Compared with men in the national sample, more men in the gang-affiliated sample had herpes simplex virus type 2 (64/174 [36.8%] vs 18/147 [12.2%], P < .001), chlamydia (10/176 [5.7%] vs 1/135 [0.7%], P = .02), and hepatitis C virus (85/173 [49.1%] vs 0, P < .001). The gang-affiliated sample had a significantly higher adjusted risk score than the national sample (1.5 vs 1.1, P = .003).

Conclusions:

Gang-affiliated Mexican American men had significant disparities in biological risk indicators and STIs, which can lead to long-term health implications and highlight the need for tailored prevention strategies. Long-term exposure to psychosocial stressors and subsequent systemic inflammation may also increase the risk for physiological and psychological dysregulation and detrimental chronic health conditions in this population.
Psychopathic Personality Traits and the Successful Criminal
Authors: Boccio Cashen M. , Beaver Kevin M.
Published: August 2018

A significant body of literature links psychopathy and psychopathic personality traits with criminal behavior and involvement with the criminal justice system. However, very little research has examined whether psychopathic personality traits are related to being a successful criminal (e.g., evading detection). This study addresses this gap in the literature by examining whether psychopathic personality traits are associated with the likelihood of being processed by the criminal justice system (i.e., arrest). Our findings reveal that psychopathic personality traits are generally not associated with criminal success. Specifically, individuals with high levels of psychopathic personality traits commit more crimes and report more arrests, but they do not seem to have an advantage when it comes to avoiding arrest for the crimes they commit. We discuss the implications of these findings for the psychopathy literature.
Activity-Induced Increase in Achilles Tendon Blood Flow Is Age and Sex Dependent
Authors: Wezenbeek Evi , De Clercq Dirk , Mahieu Nele , Willems Tine , Witvrouw Erik
Published: August 2018

Background:

Previous research of a young adult population identified a lower increase in Achilles tendon blood flow immediately after a running activity as a significant predictor for the development of Achilles tendinopathy (AT). Furthermore, advancing age is often mentioned as a risk factor for the development of AT, and the highest incidence for AT is reported to occur in middle-aged recreational male athletes.

Purpose:

To investigate the effect of age, sex, and type of physical activity on the increase in Achilles tendon blood flow.

Study Design:

Controlled laboratory study.

Methods:

Blood flow measurements of 33 subjects aged 18 to 25 years and 30 subjects aged 40 to 55 years were obtained before and after 4 physical activities performed in randomized order: running, cycling, dynamic stretching, and rope skipping. Blood flow measurements of the Achilles tendon were performed before, immediately after, 5 minutes after, and 10 minutes after the physical activities. The effect of age, sex, and physical activities on the increase in blood flow was investigated with linear mixed models.

Results:

The results of this study identified that running, rope skipping, and cycling resulted in a significant increase in tendon blood flow ( P ≤ .001), whereas stretching did not. Prominent was the finding that the increase in blood flow after activity was significantly lower in the older population as compared with the younger population ( P < .001). Furthermore, male participants in the older group showed a significantly lower increase in tendon blood flow than did their female counterparts ( P = .019).

Conclusion:

This study identified that sex and age significantly influence the increase in blood flow after activity, possibly explaining the increased risk for AT among middle-aged recreational athletes.

Clinical Relevance:

This study possibly identified one of the mechanisms explaining why an older male population is at increased risk for developing AT. Given that the lower increase in blood flow is an identified risk factor according to previous research, preventative measures should focus on improving this blood flow during physical activity in the physically active older male population.

Babel, Tyranny and Totality: Reading Genesis 11 with Luther
Authors: Laffin Michael
Published: August 2018

In this article, I consider Martin Luther’s treatment of the tower of Babel narrative in his late Lectures on Genesis in order to display the continuing fruitfulness of a close reading of his exposition of Scripture for the task of contemporary political theology. Luther addresses the themes of politics, tyranny, totality, and language with a theological attunement instructive to those of us formed within the societies and politics of late-modernity. In addition to attending to Luther’s reading of Genesis 11 for its critical usefulness in interrogating our understandings of the mechanisms of political formation, I also look to his reading of the Eucharist in light of the Christological doctrine of the communicatio idiomatum, and his exegesis of the account of the Syrophenician woman in the Gospels, to indicate constructive ways in which the idolatrous politics of Babel might be resisted and the politics of Pentecost embraced.
Incorporating others: what an extended self tells us about intersubjectivity
Authors: Garavito Maria Clara
Published: August 2018

Incorporation is the body’s capacity to take something to alter or extend itself. In the literature on the subject, there is a lively debate on what constitutes incorporation. According to the Hypothesis of Extended Mind, whatever extends our cognitive processes is incorporated. At the same time, that object becomes a part of our self-manifestation. However, De Preester, in what I call a narrow version of incorporation, proposes that an object is incorporated to the self only if it is included in the sense of ownership of the body. Here, I explore a broader version of incorporation, related to Merleau-Ponty’s ideas of habit and incorporation. From this perspective, incorporation is the way a self expands and alters itself in its dealings with the world. A self, as a lived body, emerges in the self’s constitutive openness to worlds; therefore, objects (and even others) are incorporated in a temporal and situated way if they participate in constitutive experiences. Finally, this perspective explores the idea of a flexible and transparent self rather than a fixed self based on representations of the body.
Do territorial rights include the right to exclude?
Authors: Nine Cara
Published: August 2018

Do territorial rights include the right to exclude? This claim is often assumed to be true in territorial rights theory. And if this claim is justified, a state may have a prima facie right to unilaterally exclude aliens from state territory. But is this claim justifiable? I examine the version of territorial rights that has the most compelling story to support the right to exclude: territorial rights as a kind of property right, where ‘territory’ refers to the public and common spaces included in the domain of state jurisdiction. I analyse the work of A. J. Simmons, who develops the political theory of John Locke into one of the most well-articulated and defended theories of territorial rights as a kind of property right. My main argument is that Simmons’ justification for rights of exclusion, which are derived from individual rights of self-government, does not apply to many kinds of public spaces. An upshot of this analysis is that most Lockean-based theories of territorial rights will have a hard time justifying the right to exclude as a prima facie right held by states against aliens.
Buildings with environmental quality management: Part 4: A path to the future NZEB
Authors: Romanska-Zapala Anna , Bomberg Mark , Yarbrough David W
Published: August 2018

The previous part of this article starts 100 years ago, at the time of the humble beginnings of building science, and brings us to the current stage of the net zero energy buildings (NZEB). We see how, over the years, knowledge from the observed failures of buildings has accumulated to become the basis for current building science. The strong interactions between energy efficiency, moisture management, and indoor environment and the need for their simultaneous analysis led to the concept of environmental assessment. More than 40 years of experience with passive houses (the first 10 were built in Canada in 1977) in process that would collect those developments into the mainstream of NZEB technology permits extrapolation to the future. As the first priority, we see a need for a fundamental change in the approach to NZEB—instead of improving the separate pieces of the puzzle before assembling them, we need first to establish the conceptual design of the whole system. Only after determination of the basic requirements for each subsystem and each assembly may materials that would fulfill the specific requirements of this assembly be selected. In this design process, the actual climate and socio-economic conditions (including construction cost) vary, so we must deal with a set of design principles rather than a description of a specific construction technology. A guiding set of considerations is presented below to establish a system of environmental quality management (EQM).
Cost-Effectiveness of Cervical Epidural Steroid Injections: A 3-Month Pilot Study
Authors: Alvin Matthew D. , Mehta Vikram , Halabi Hadi Al , Lubelski Daniel , Benzel Edward C. , Mroz Thomas E.
Published: August 2018

Study Design:

Retrospective cohort.

Objectives:

There are conflicting reports on the short- and long-term quality of life (QOL) outcomes and cost-effectiveness of cervical epidural steroid injections (ESIs). The present study analyzes the cost-effectiveness analysis of ESIs versus conservative management for patients with radiculopathy or neck pain in the short term.

Methods:

Fifty patients who underwent cervical ESI and 29 patients who received physical therapy and pain medication alone for cervical radiculopathy and neck pain of <6 months duration were included. Three-month postoperative health outcomes were assessed based on EuroQol-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D; measured in quality-adjusted life years [QALYs]). Medical costs were estimated using Medicare national payment amounts. Cost/utility ratios and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) were calculated to assess for cost-effectiveness.

Results:

The ESI cohort experienced significant ( P < .01) improvement in the EQ-5D score while the control cohort did not (0.13 vs 0.02 QALYs, respectively; P = .01). There were no significant differences in costs between the cohorts. The cost-utility ratio for the ESI cohort was significantly lower ($21 884/QALY gained) than that for the control cohort ($176 412/QALY gained) ( P < .01). The ICER for an ESI versus conservative management was negative, indicating that ESIs provide greater improvement in QOL at a lower cost.

Conclusions:

ESIs provide significant improvement in QOL within 3 months for patients with cervical radiculopathy and neck pain. ESIs are more cost-effective compared than conservative management alone in the shor -term. The durability of these results must be analyzed with longer term cost-utility analysis studies.
A Pilot Study
Authors: Nass Shafique Sani
Published: August 2018

Background:

Tetanus–diphtheria vaccine (Td+) coverage has been steadily declining in Katsina State, Nigeria. The pilot study was guided by The Andersen and Newman Framework of Health Services Utilization. The goal of the pilot study was to identify the Td+ vaccination coverage and identify any association between maternal residence, educational status, occupational status, access to routine immunization services, availability of routine immunization services, perceived need for Td+, perceived severity of maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT), and compliance with Td+ in Katsina State.

Methods:

A cross-sectional survey of 309 randomly selected women in Charanchi district of Katsina State, Nigeria, was conducted. Data were collected using structured questionnaire and analyzed using logistic regression model.

Findings:

The Td+ coverage was low at 23%. Bivariate analysis showed that age, maternal residence, educational status, availability of Td+, perception of Td+, and perception of MNT significantly affected compliance with Td+ ( P < .05, P < .05, P < .05, P < .001, P < .001, P < .001, respectively). Multiple logistic regression findings were inconclusive.

Conclusion:

Effective strategies to improve compliance were awareness creation on Td+ immunization schedule, risk factors associated with MNT, vaccine availability, and safety. Additionally, improving access to routine immunization services, especially in underserved communities, and effective use of Td+ coverage data were used as strategies.

Implications:

The pilot study suggests that the design can be used to realize more conclusive and generalizable multivariate findings in future studies.
Perceptions and Attitudes toward Data Sharing among Dental Researchers
Authors: Spallek H. , Weinberg S.M. , Manz M. , Nanayakkara S. , Zhou X. , Johnson L.
Published: August 2018

Introduction:

Increasing attention is being given to the roles of data management and data sharing in the advancement of research. This study was undertaken to explore opinions and past experiences of established dental researchers as related to data sharing and data management.

Methods:

Researchers were recruited from the International Association for Dental Research scientific groups to complete a survey consisting of Likert-type, multiple-choice, and open-ended questions.

Results:

All 42 respondents indicated that data sharing should be promoted and facilitated, but many indicated reservations or concerns about the proper use of data and the protection of research subjects. Many had used data from data repositories and received requests for data originating from their studies. Opinions varied regarding restrictions such as requirements to share data and the time limits of investigator rights to keep data. Respondents also varied in their methods of data management and storage, with younger respondents and those with higher direct costs of their research tending to use dedicated experts to manage their data.

Discussion:

The expressed respondent support for research data sharing, with the noted concerns, complements the idea of developing managed data clearinghouses capable of promoting, managing, and overseeing the data-sharing process.

Knowledge Transfer Statement:

Researchers can use the results of this study to evaluate and improve management and sharing of research data. By encouraging and facilitating the data-sharing process, research can advance more efficiently, and research findings can be implemented into practice more rapidly to improve patient care and the overall oral health of populations.
A Brief Comparative History Analysis
Authors: Haga Susanne B.
Published: August 2018

With the advent of gene-editing tools, changes to sequences encoding genes or regulatory elements can be made with relative ease compared to prior technologies. The development and anticipated commercialization of new applications using gene-editing technologies may span the gamut from therapeutic interventions to agricultural applications to cosmetic or enhancement procedures. Although objections have been raised about the purpose and on whom gene editing should be performed, limiting its uses in the absence of demonstrated harm may be difficult and unwise at this time, even at this early stage of development. The fledgling field may benefit from a review of the history of plastic and cosmetic surgery that underwent a similarly rocky start and continues to evolve to this day. From this brief comparative historical analysis, we may gain some insight about the path forward regarding the use of gene-editing tools for cosmetic purposes.

Geoscientists Without Borders celebrates 10 years of funding humanitarian geoscience work
Authors: Ford Linda
Published: August 2018

Geoscientists Without Borders® (GWB) has been supporting the humanitarian application of geosciences around the world for the last 10 years. GWB was formed after the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami that killed more than 225,000 people and caused massive destruction in Sumatra, Indonesia. Craig Beasley, then SEG president, called on members to use their geoscience skills and knowledge to help prevent catastrophic disaster in the future. It took four years to raise funds and put the structure in place to form GWB. The first projects were approved for funding in 2008. Since its establishment, GWB has awarded more than US$2.75 million to 36 projects in 27 countries. Projects have focused on water management, habitat management, pollution mitigation, archaeology, and earthquake, landslide, tsunami, and volcano hazard preparedness.
Case study: North Sea heavy oil reservoir characterization from integrated analysis of towed-streamer EM and dual-sensor seismic data
Authors: Du Zhijun , Key Kerry
Published: August 2018

Integrated analysis of geophysical data can provide valuable information on reservoir properties upon which exploration, appraisal, and development decisions can be made. Here we derive a geophysical reservoir characterization workflow from quantitative interpretation of towed-streamer electromagnetic (EM) and dual-sensor seismic data. The workflow facilitates the reliable extraction of complementary information from two high-fidelity data sets. We demonstrate how the new workflow enables a robust and reliable integration of towed-streamer EM and seismic data with examples from data acquired in a complex geologic region of the North Sea where the heavy oil fields known as Bressay, Bentley, and Kraken (BBK) are located. The BBK discoveries pose several challenges to EM surveying. Airwave coupling in the relatively shallow ocean significantly complicates the reservoir signals. Further, the reservoirs are in close proximity to other high-resistivity features, such as shallow gas in the overburden, the regional Balder Tuff, and granite intrusions. Seismic imaging over these fields is also challenging due to the presence of injectites with steep and irregular geometries. Furthermore, the heavy oil charge means there is no direct hydrocarbon indication in the seismic data due to the low acoustic impedance contrast between the reservoir and surrounding shale.
Elastic and Inelastic Near-Fault Input Energy Spectra
Authors: Alıcı F. Soner , Sucuoğlu HalÛk
Published: August 2018

The main purpose of this study is to develop a reliable model for predicting the input energy spectra of near-fault ground motions for linear elastic and inelastic systems, and to evaluate the effect of damping and lateral strength on energy dissipation demands. An attenuation model has been developed through one-stage nonlinear regression analysis. Comparative results revealed that near-fault ground motions have significantly larger energy dissipation demands, which are very sensitive to earthquake magnitude and soil type. The effect of damping on elastic and inelastic near-fault input energy spectra is insignificant. Near-fault input energy spectra for inelastic systems is dependent on lateral strength ratio R for short period systems, however, there is almost no dependency on lateral strength for intermediate and long period systems, recalling an equal energy rule. This is a significant advantage for an energy-based design approach.
Interpretation of Absorption Spectra of Some Bisazomethine Dyes in a Crystalline State in Terms of Conformational Change and Exciton Interaction
Authors: Takayanagi Naho , Jindo Takumi , Kim Byung-Soon , Son Young-A , Kim Sung-Hoon , Matsumoto Shinya
Published: August 2018

Absorption properties of 13 bisazomethine dyes in a crystalline state were studied by optical waveguide spectroscopy. Their solid-state absorption spectra were found to shift bathochromically relative to those in solution with no remarkable change in a spectral shape. The observed spectral shifts were characterized in terms of two intermolecular interactions, conformational change and exciton interaction, on the basis of the crystal structure. Solid-state fluorescence properties of the diethylamino derivatives were also examined for their electronic characterization. The characteristic two-dimensional staircase structure, one of the proposed structures of J-aggregates, was found to play a significant role in the bathochromic spectral shift of all the bisazomethine derivatives.
A 9-Month Jumping Intervention to Improve Bone Geometry in Adolescent Male Athletes
Authors: VLACHOPOULOS DIMITRIS , BARKER ALAN R. , UBAGO-GUISADO ESTHER , WILLIAMS CRAIG A. , GRACIA-MARCO LUIS
Published: August 2018

Purpose

Sports have different effects on bone development and effective interventions to improve bone health of adolescent athletes are needed. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of a 9-month jumping intervention on bone geometry and metabolism in adolescent male athletes.

Methods

Ninety-three adolescent (14.1 yr old) male swimmers (SWI), footballers (FOO), and cyclists (CYC) were randomized to intervention and sport (INT-SWI = 19, INT-FOO = 15, and INT-CYC = 14) or sport only (CON-SWI = 18, CON-FOO = 15, and CON-CYC = 12) groups. Cross-sectional area, cross-sectional moment of inertia (CSMI), and section modulus (Z) at the femoral neck were assessed using hip structural analysis and trabecular texture of the lumbar spine using trabecular bone score. Bone mineral content (BMC) at femoral neck and lumbar spine was assessed using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Serum N-terminal propeptide of procollagen type I, isomer of the carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen, total serum calcium, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D were analyzed.

Results

INT-CYC acquired significantly higher lumbar spine BMC (4.6%) and femoral neck BMC (9.8%) than CON-CYC. INT-CYC acquired significantly higher cross-sectional area (11.0%), CSMI (10.1%), and trabecular bone score (4.4%) than CON-CYC. INT-SWI acquired significantly higher femoral neck BMC (6.0%) and CSMI (10.9%) than CON-SWI. There were no significant differences between INT-FOO and CON-FOO in any bone outcomes. N-terminal propeptide of procollagen type I significantly decreased in CON-SWI, INT-FOO, CON-FOO, and CON-CYC. Carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen significantly decreased in CON-SWI and CON-CYC. The 25-hydroxyvitamin D significantly increased in INT-CYC, CON-CYC, INT-FOO, and CON-FOO.

Conclusions

A 9-month jumping intervention improved bone outcomes in adolescent swimmers and cyclists, but not in footballers. This intervention might be used by sports clubs to improve bone health of adolescent athletes.
Nonmonetary Incentives and the Implications of Work as a Source of Meaning
Authors: Cassar Lea , Meier Stephan
Published: August 2018

Empirical research in economics has begun to explore the idea that workers care about nonmonetary aspects of work. An increasing number of economic studies using survey and experimental methods have shown that nonmonetary incentives and nonpecuniary aspects of one’s job have substantial impacts on job satisfaction, productivity, and labor supply. By drawing on this evidence and relating it to the literature in psychology, this paper argues that work represents much more than simply earning an income: for many people, work is a source of meaning. In the next section, we give an economic interpretation of meaningful work and emphasize how it is affected by the mission of the organization and the extent to which job design fulfills the three psychological needs at the basis of self-determination theory: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. We point to the evidence that not everyone cares about having a meaningful job and discuss potential sources of this heterogeneity. We sketch a theoretical framework to start to formalize work as a source of meaning and think about how to incorporate this idea into agency theory and labor supply models. We discuss how workers’ search for meaning may affect the design of monetary and nonmonetary incentives. We conclude by suggesting some insights and open questions for future research.

Late orogenic extension in Hellenides
Authors: ΚΙΛΙΑΣ Α.
Published: August 2018

In the Hellenic orogen both typs of late orogenic extension, associated with deep crustal parts exhumation, are recognized during the Tertiare: In the areas of Olympos-Ossa and Pelion Mts in Northern Greece, as well as in the island of Crete in Southern Greece a bivergent late orogenic extension is recognized. Nappes collapse took place immediately above the cold accretionary wedge while compression was active at depth. Heer high pressure assemplages were good preserved. On the contrary, in the Rhodope and Cyclades areas an asymmetric extension dominates. Heer extensional exhumation of deep crustal rocks took place in the high thermal flow back-arc region and high pressure metamorphic rocks were highly overprinted by greenschist to amphibolite facies metamorphism. Partial melting and granitoids intrusions followed the high grade metamorphic reworking of the rocks. Tertiary late orogenic extension in the Hellenides tooke place simultaneously with successive subductions processes and crustal thickening at the front of the extended plate, forming with the associated compression a SW-ward migrated system. Extension started in the Rhodope massif during the Eocene/Oligocene to be reached in the Olympos, Ossa, Pilion and Cyclades areas in the Oligocene/Miocene and final in the Crete island at the more external Hellenides, during the Mid-Miocene. Changes in the rate of convergence between Africa and Eurasia associated with retreating plate boundaries conditions allowed the successive, extensional exhumation of the deep crustal rocks in the Hellenides. Assymetric collapse in the back-arc area was possibly favoured, because the high potential energy of the thickened crust in the active orogenic arc was counteracted by the continuing subduction along the boundaries of the converging segments of Africa and Eurasia. Symmetric collapse of the overthickened crust above the cold accretionary prism was favoured probably, due to an increasing of the upward pressure produced by the unterplating of the lithospheric slap beneath the accretionary wedge.

A rich fauna of Bryozoa from the Lower Pliocene of the Maronia district (location of Hagios loannis) had been studied. 47 species have been indentified belonging to the Cyclostomata (16) and Cheilostomata (31). This study allows to precise - based on the Foraminifers - the distribution of Bryozoans in this area of the South- East Mediterranean. Based on the zoarial forms, the bathymetry, the temperature and the bottoms, where some species live yet now, we attempt to give a reconstruction of the paleoenvironments. The Lower Pliocene age is based on the stratigraphie distribution of the following Foraminifers: Amphistegina lessonii, Bolivina antiqua, μBulimina cf. minima, Cibicides refiilgens, Globigerinoides extremus, Globigerinoides nepenthes, Globigerinella pseudobesa, Globulina fissicosta, Heterolepa dertonensis, Neogloboquatrina ci.acostaensis, Rectuvigerina siphogenerinoides, Sphaeroidinellopsis seminulina.

In this paper is marked the contribution of the Ecozones to the Ecostratigraphy. As an example we use the drillings (Ml, M2, M3, M4, M6, MIO) coming from the Plio- Pleistocene basin of the Magoula- Karatoulas (Pyrgos, Peloponnesus). Based on the detailed stratigraphical and paleoecological studies of the postalpine sediments (VAGIAS et al. 1995) of the formation of Vounargo (HAGEMAN 1977,1979 & ΚΑΜΠΕΡΗΣ 1987) we attempt to define 15 ecozones, as it is understood the layer or the whole of the layers, which is characterized by an association of fossils (at the level of species, genus or family). The Ecozone reflects the evolution of a sedimentary basin from the bathymetrical point of view as well as the transgressions and the regressions. The Ecozones are often related with the curve of the change of the sea level. The transgression is characterized by the rich fossil associations (species and individuals), while the regression is characterized by a diminution of species and individuals. There are also 11 white spots, which can not be enclosed in Ecozones. They are observed in the drillings M2, M3, M4, M6 and MIO.
Anthropogenic factors in the geomorphological evolution of the NE and E region of the Loutra Aedipsus area (N. Evia-Hellas)
Authors: ΠΑΠΑΔΟΠΟΥΛΟΥ-ΒΡΥΝΙΩΤΗ Κ. Α.
Published: August 2018

In the region located northeast and east of the Aedipsos Loutra area landforms of anthopogenic origin have been identified. The formation of these landforms has been attributed to morphodynamic processes that related to human interference; the latter is either straightforward, for example following road-construction, quarries or mines or indirect through human activities such as agriculture, stockbreeding and deforestation. Furthermore, it has been identified that the combined action of natural and human factors has caused the formation of the following landforms (ordered from the older to recent ones): (i) Slopes of moderate gradients and valleys of "U" and "V" shape of natural origin (ii) A vegetation-free land-network with tongue-shaped washed surfaces attributed mainly to indirect anthropogenic influence i.e. stock-breeding (iii) Very fine hydrographie network of Badlands type being the product of direct and indirect human interference (iv) Badlands of pyramid form formed directly by the anthropogenic activities. The landforms associated with stockbreeding are responsible for accelerated erosion and irregular water flow; these factors, in association with the local climatological conditions, operating on the tuffite formations has caused the dvelopement of badlands that destroy the existed valleys through the process of erosion. Pyramid badlands on the other side of the highway, connecting the village Aedipsos and Polilofo are the result of the intensive weathering processes following the construction of the road. Finally, active and inactive badlands exist along the coastal road Loutra Aedipsou-Ilia-Limni, with their formation attributed exclusively to anthropogenic factors. The accelerated erosion, responsible for the above mentioned anthropogenic landforms cause often catastrophic phenomena such as landslides, subsidence etc, which has been observed along the road network of the study area. Therefore, the presence of this type of landforms should be taken under consideration for the construction of the various technical works. Besides, the taking of preventive measures, such as the abstraction of soft (erodible) lithological formations, the construction of slopes with small gradients, the avoidance of banking up etc.

This paper deals with the systematic study of the microstructural characteristics of clay sediments. These characteristics which are closely connected to the physical and mechanical character of the sediments, are concerned with: a)the structural constituents, b)the microporosity and c)the structural bonds of the sediments. For the determination of the structural characteristics of clay sediments the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and the Optical Microscope are widely used with a supplementary mineralogical analysis of sediment components and the determination of several physical and mechanical characteristics. The observations under the microscope must be focused on the distribution of mineralogical facies and micropores, on the size and shape of clay (micro-)aggregates, as well as on the kind of authigenic facies (e.g. micrite, sparry calcite) which play the role of cementing material. The proposed methodology was applied to the study of the microstructures of marly sediments from Northern Péloponnèse and the following types of microstructures were determined: a)matrix-skeletal, mixed type, coarse dispersed of low orientation, b)matrix, coagulative, medium dispersed of medium orientation and c)crystallized-cementated, fine or medium dispersed of low orientation.
Distributed modeling of soil erosion and sediment transport
Authors: HRISSANTHOU V. , PSILOVIKOS A.
Published: August 2018

A mathematical model is used for the estimation of the annual sediment yield resulting from rainfall and runoff at the outlet of Nestos River basin (Toxotes, Thrace, Greece), where the ecologically interesting Nestos delta exists. The model is applied to that part of Nestos River basin (838 km2) which lies downstream of three dams. Two dams (Thissavros and Platanovryssi) have been already constructed, while the third one (Temenos) is under construction. The model consists of three sub-models: a rainfall-runoff sub-model, a surface erosion sub-model and a sediment transport sub-model for streams. This model is also capable of computing the annual erosion amount and sediment yield in the individual sub-basins
The palaeogeographic distribution of stromatolites in the Parnassus zone, Central Greece, during the early to middle Paleocene
Authors: SOLAKIUS Ν. , KATl M.
Published: August 2018

The stromatolites recorded in the Parnassus Zone, central Greece, were developed in shallow waters (tidal flat conditions) that prevailed in the central areas of the zone during the early to middle Paleocene. In the margins, deeper water prevailed during this interval which enabled the deposition of pelagic limestones. The wide geographic distribution of the stromatolites in the zone probably depended on the lack of organisms feeding on them, climatic factors, salinity of coastal waters and sediment supply. They further acted as post massextinction disaster forms inhabiting the shallow water areas after the extinction of the rudists at the end of the Cretaceous

This contribution refers to the history of the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) initiative for the inventory and compilation of the global geosites list, "The geosite project". This project that started in1996 came as a consequence of the recent years discussion in international level, geological sites to be included in global site-based conservation and protection projects and in the world heritage list of UNESCO.The Global Geosites Working Group set up by International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) with the support of UNESCO in 1995, undertook the initiative for the systematic inventory of the most important sites, above all for the needs of the geological sciences research and education. The project aims also, to involve the whole geological community in geoconservation, as well as to support any national or international initiative to protect geodiversity, a recourse completely unrenewable. In Europe the whole pilot work for the geosites project is carried out by ProGEO, the European Association for the geological-geomorphological heritage conservation. ProGEO to which most of Europe's nations are represented by members, through regular international congresses, meetings, workshops, has led the way for the project, supported by its regional working groups and its national representatives (Greece belongs to the ProGEO WG1 of south-eastern Europe).

The factors which defined what Geological elements and how are being taught in Greek Elementary Schools are not only included in the National Curriculum Programs and in the Textbooks. The very few teaching hours of the subjects in which are included, the poor school-libraries and the absence of specialized training of the Primary schools teaching staff have an important role also. An additional role has the absence of modern thought for the specific problems of the Geological subject matter and the needs of educational process. This study deals with the evaluation and presentation of the Geological subject matter of the textbooks in Primary Education, as it is referred in Geography of the last two years in school. Also, the potentials and perspectives of enriching the Geological matter through the Textbooks "Study of the Environment", which are taught during the first four years of Primary schools are presented. Indicative examples on development and implementation of geological knowledge in practice are suggested, according the principles of Environmental Education, splendidly covering as well, the teaching and learning targets of this subject.
Tackling resistance: emerging antimalarials and new parasite targets in the era of elimination
Authors: Mathews Emily S. , Odom John Audrey R.
Published: August 2018

Malaria remains a significant contributor to global human mortality, and roughly half the world’s population is at risk for infection with Plasmodium spp. parasites. Aggressive control measures have reduced the global prevalence of malaria significantly over the past decade. However, resistance to available antimalarials continues to spread, including resistance to the widely used artemisinin-based combination therapies. Novel antimalarial compounds and therapeutic targets are greatly needed. This review will briefly discuss several promising current antimalarial development projects, including artefenomel, ferroquine, cipargamin, SJ733, KAF156, MMV048, and tafenoquine. In addition, we describe recent large-scale genetic and resistance screens that have been instrumental in target discovery. Finally, we highlight new antimalarial targets, which include essential transporters and proteases. These emerging antimalarial compounds and therapeutic targets have the potential to overcome multi-drug resistance in ongoing efforts toward malaria elimination.
