Eighteenth-Century Russian Writers through the Eyes of the Parisian Police
Authors: Kandakou Dzianis
Published: September 2019

Since Peter the Great’s visit in 1717, Paris has become an uncontestable symbolic place of cultural pilgrimage to his compatriots. Russian presence in Paris, especially the stays of men of letters, is well documented and was described in numerous travelogues, diaries, correspondence, and memoirs. For a long time, these accounts have remained a nearly unique source of information, quite uncertain and insufficient, creating myths and misunderstanding, leaving in the shadow the everyday life of Russian writers in Paris. This study suggests another perspective that emerges through examination of Parisian police reports. These papers shed new light on literary, social, and political activities of Russian writers in the French capital. Cases of Prince Antiochus Cantemir, Count Andrei Shuvalov, Denis Fonvizin, and Ivan Chemnitzer are presented as the most spectacular examples. The comparative analysis of police reports and the literary texts and personal writings by these four writers shows that French administrative staff, generally well-informed and well-read, had very little knowledge of Russian literary and cultural life. Therefore, travelers which were unfamiliar with the French savoir-vivre looked quite suspicious to them. At the same time, Russian writers used their life in Paris to promote themselves.
What is replication?
Authors: Nosek Brian A. , Errington Timothy M.
Published: September 2019

Credibility of scientific claims is established with evidence for their replicability using new data. According to common understanding, replication is repeating a study’s procedure and observing whether the prior finding recurs. This definition is intuitive, easy to apply, and incorrect. We propose that replication is a study for which any outcome would be considered diagnostic evidence about a claim from prior research. This definition reduces emphasis on operational characteristics of the study and increases emphasis on the interpretation of possible outcomes. The purpose of replication is to advance theory by confronting existing understanding with new evidence. Ironically, the value of replication may be strongest when existing understanding is weakest. Successful replication provides evidence of generalizability across the conditions that inevitably differ from the original study; Unsuccessful replication indicates that the reliability of the finding may be more constrained than recognized previously. Defining replication as a confrontation of current theoretical expectations clarifies its important, exciting, and generative role in scientific progress.

A Legal Duty of Genetic Recontact in Canada
Authors: Thorogood Adrian , Bernier Alexander , Zawati Ma'n , Knoppers Bartha Maria
Published: September 2019

Our understanding of the clinical significance of genomic data is rapidly evolving. The meaning of a patient’s test results can therefore change over time. Reanalysis of genomic data over time and patient recontact offer an opportunity to improve patient health. But are physicians legally responsible to do so? Professional associations worldwide are outlining best practices for genetic recontact. To inform Canadian guidelines and courts faced with this issue, we review Canadian case law to determine if there is a likely doctrinal basis for judicial recognition of a duty to recontact in genetics. Foreign guidelines or malpractice case law may not adequately reflect the peculiarities of Canada’s diverse legal and public health systems. A threshold consideration is the duration of the physician-patient relationship, seeing as physicians do not generally owe legal duties to former patients. This legal relationship endures according to the need for continued care as well as the subjective perspectives of both physician and patient. Satisfying these criteria in genetics can be difficult because of interpretative uncertainty or the absence of definitive intervention. Moreover, coordination of genetic analysis, communication, and follow-up care between healthcare professionals is complex, leading to problems of incomplete hand-off between laboratories, specialists, and primary care providers. The key challenge for plaintiffs will be to establish fault, that is, breach of a duty. Physicians in Canada traditionally have duties to diagnose, inform, follow-up and of confidentiality. We conclude that a legal duty of genetic recontact is only likely in specific circumstances where physicians acquire updated genetic information of clear health significance. This remains unlikely unless health systems or laboratories commit to systemic and adaptive reanalysis. This may change with the confluence of whole genome testing and advanced health information technologies (HIT). Whole genome sequences include millions of individual genetic variants and in turn, millions of opportunities for adaptive reinterpretation. HIT enables data sharing between laboratories, automated reanalysis of genomic test results, and new lines of communication with physicians and patients. Fundamentally, it is only health systems or institutions that can provide the infrastructure needed to adapt patient care in step with an evolving genetic knowledgebase.
PEAS_EAH and diet quality ms_orig submission

Published: September 2019

Background: Scant research has examined whether direct measures of intake under controlled conditions relate to long-term dietary quality. Objective: This study investigates the association of eating in the absence of hunger (EAH) with diet quality during pregnancy.Design: In this cross-over feeding study, participants completed two eating in the absence of hunger (EAH) assessments in counterbalanced order with 1-week wash-out during the 2nd pregnancy trimester. Participants completed one 24-hour diet recall per pregnancy trimester.Participants/setting: Participants (n=46) were enrolled at ≤12 weeks gestation. Intervention: EAH of highly processed (HP) and minimally processed foods (MP) were assessed separately. EAH foods included sweet and non-sweet (savory) items.Main outcome measures: The total Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI), adherence to adequacy (HEI-adq) and moderation components (HEI-mod) were calculated from the diet recalls. Higher scores reflect better diet quality. Statistical analyses performed: Linear regressions estimated associations of pregnancy diet quality with EAH (energy, EAH-kcal; and percent offered, EAH-%) in each condition for all foods, and separately for sweet and savory foods. Results: Lower pregnancy diet quality (all indicators) was associated with greater EAH-kcal and EAH-% of all foods and sweet foods in the HP condition. Each 100-kcal increase in EAH of HP foods was associated with a 2-3-point decrease (SE=0.7 – 0.8) in HEI (P<0.01); each 10% increase of proportion consumed was associated with a 5-7-point decrease (SE=2.0) in HEI (P<0.01). Greater EAH-kcal and EAH-% of savory food intake in the HP condition were associated with lower HEI-adq, but not HEI or HEI-mod. EAH in the MP condition was not associated with pregnancy diet quality.Conclusions: Greater EAH of HP, especially sweet, foods was related to worse pregnancy diet quality. Consuming HP sweets after meal termination may reflect a tendency for eating beyond satiation and may be a useful intervention target for improving diet quality.
How we reason about innateness: the role of Dualism and Essentialism
Authors: Berent Iris , Platt Melanie , Sandoboe Gwendolyn M.
Published: September 2019

Few questions are as controversial as the origins of knowledge. Here, we examine whether reasoning about innate ideas is shaped by systematic cognitive biases. Previous research suggests that humans possess core knowledge systems that distinguish minds and matter (Dualism), and they assign living things an immutable material essence (Essentialism). These two systems collide in reasoning about cognitive nativism. If, in naïve psychology (a) cognitive traits are immaterial (per Dualism), whereas (b) innate traits must be material (per Essentialism), then (c) cognitive traits cannot be innate. Experiments 1-8 support each of these three hypotheses. These results show for the first time that reasoning about innateness is causally linked to the perceived immateriality of cognitive traits and the materiality of innate traits. While our findings (from adults) cannot ascertain the origin of these biases, they do open up the possibility that our difficulties to reason about innate ideas might be grounded deep within human cognition itself.
Voluntary Control of Auditory Hallucinations: Phenomenology to Therapeutic Implications
Authors: Swyer Ariel , powers albert
Published: September 2019

Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) have traditionally been thought to be outside the influence of conscious control. However, recent work with voice-hearers makes clear that both treatment-seeking and non-treatment seeking voice-hearers may exert varying degrees of control over their voices. Evidence suggests that this ability may be a key factor in determining health status, but little systematic examination of control in AVH has been carried out. This review provides an overview of the research examining control over AVH in both treatment-seeking and non-treatment-seeking populations. We first examine the relationship between control over AVH and health status as well as the psychosocial factors that may influence control and functioning. We then link control to various cognitive constructs that appear to be important for voice-hearing. Finally, we reconcile the possibility of control with the field’s current understanding of the proposed cognitive, computational, and neural underpinnings of hallucinations and perception more broadly. Established relationships between control, health status, and functioning suggest that the development of control over AVH could increase functioning and reduce distress. A more detailed understanding of the discrete types of control, their development, and their neural underpinnings is essential for translating this knowledge into new therapeutic approaches.

Amino-Acid Surfactants in Personal Cleansing (Review)
Authors: Ananthapadmanabhan K. P.
Published: September 2019

The consumer demand for greener, sustainable and skin friendly chemicals is driving the use of amino-acid based surfactants in the personal care area. Acyl glutamates and glycinates are already being used in commercial products. Available literature clearly shows that the amino acid based surfactants are generally milder than their corresponding alkyl sulfates and carboxylates. However, they do offer some interesting challenges in the area of structuring and consumer desired lather properties. Furthermore, the amino acid surfactants, unlike alkyl sulfates, have pH as an interesting variable for fine-tuning their functional properties. In this paper, the solution, interfacial and skin mildness properties of commercially relevant amino acid surfactants are reviewed and the opportunities and challenges for their wider application are outlined.
Hydrophilic-Lipophilic-Difference (HLD) Guided Formulation of Oil Spill Dispersants with Biobased Surfactants
Authors: Sundar Suryavarshini , Nouraei Mehdi , Latta Thomas , Acosta Edgar
Published: September 2019

The large-scale use of dispersants during the BP Horizon spill revealed various risks associated with these formulations, particularly the use of volatile organic compound (VOC) solvents linked to respiratory illnesses, and the poor biodegradability of surfactants. Previous attempts at solving these issues involved formulations of lecithin and polyethylene glycol ester of sorbitan monooleate (Tween® 80) that still required the use of a volatile solvent, ethanol. In this work, the Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Difference (HLD) framework was used to develop a lecithin formulation containing food-grade lipophilic (Glycerol MonoOleate – GMO- and sorbitan monooleate – Span® 80) and hydrophilic (polyglycerol caprylate) linkers in combination with a nonvolatile and mineral oil solvent with food additive status. The HLD parameters for lecithin, linkers, and oils were used to determine the lecithin-linker formulas that yielded HLD ∼0 (the surfactant phase inversion point), reaching interfacial tensions of 10−2 mN/m, and high emulsification effectiveness with diluted bitumen. This effectiveness was close to that obtained with a simulated dispersant, and superior to the lecithin-Tween® 80-ethanol formula. The lecithin-linker system produced 4–11 μm emulsified drops, sufficiently small to enhance the biodegradability of the dispersion.

A JUDICIALIZAÇÃO DA SAÚDE E O DESAFIO DA PRESTAÇÃO JURISDICIONAL POR MAIS SAÚDE E DIREITOS HUMANOS
Authors: Costa Silva Maria Da Vitoria
Published: September 2019

Resumo:

Este artigo tratou da judicialização da saúde e do desafio da prestação jurisdicional por mais saúde e direitos humanos no Brasil. A metodologia ancorou-se em conectivos teóricos interdisciplinar com viés jurídico, filosófico, econômico, sociológico e educacional. Os resultados evidenciaram que esse fenômeno decorre: da constitucionalização de novos direitos, do aumento de demandas por justiça, da expansão da jurisdição constitucional e da globalização neoliberal que, ao defender a racionalidade do mercado, fragiliza instituições públicas e os serviços sociais. A conclusão é de que o Judiciário brasileiro deve assumir a sua quota-parte de responsabilidade política, essencial ao fortalecimento das instituições estatais e à construção do conhecimento emancipatório, por meio de canais de interlocuções com a sociedade, que estimulem diálogos construtivista, participativo e democrático, via práticas formativas, que permitam a esfera pública atuar, ao lado do Estado, como protagonista da efetivação dos serviços de saúde e da proteção dos direitos humanos.

Abstract:

This article dealt with the judicialization of health and the challenge of providing judicial for more health and human rights in Brazil. The methodology was anchored in interdisciplinary theoretical connectives with legal, philosophical, economic, sociological and educational bias. The results showed that this phenomenon stems from the constitutionalisation of new rights, the increase of demands for justice, the expansion of constitutional jurisdiction and neoliberal globalization, which defends the rationality of the market, weakens public institutions and social services. The conclusion is that the Brazilian judiciary must assume its share of political responsibility, essential to the strengthening of state institutions and the construction of emancipatory knowledge, through channels of communication with society that stimulate constructivist, participatory and democratic dialogues, through training practices that allow the public sphere to act, alongside the State, as the protagonist of the implementation of health services and the protection of human rights.

Keywords: Justice of proximity; Democratic participation and Social protection.

Published: September 2019

At this clinical study twelve dogs, 13 eyes, presenting the prolapse of the third eyelid gland, received surgical treatment in a new technical approach. After a complete eye exam and pre-surgery laboratory exams, the surgical treatment of the prolapse of the third eyelid gland was performed through an incision, using a surgical laser on the caudal side of the base of the third eyelid; a tunnel was created by divulsion the mucosa using a Halsted-Mosquito forceps. The prolapsed gland was replaced by performing two Wolf's sutures with absorbable thread trespassing the third eyelid and its inner mucosa. This procedure was enabled to retain the prolapsed gland inside the mucosa of the caudal face of the third eyelid. The two sutures were sufficient to prevent the gland from reprofiling itself. All patients were evaluated after seven, fourteen and twenty-one days post- surgery, none of them presented recurrence of prolapse or even inflammation of the gland, conjunctiva or alteration in their lacrimal production.

Published: September 2019

The objective of this work was to demonstrate the effects of exogenous injectable progesterone on protocols of induction and estrus cycle synchronization in sheep. The production of these animals has shown to be increasing in the state of Bahia, impelling the need for new techniques applied to reproductive management to raise the rate of productivity of the herds. Thus, two hormonal protocols of short duration were conducted in 17 Santa Inês breeders. Two groups were submitted to combination of Progesterone Injection, Equine Chorionic Gonadotrophin(eCG) and Clorprostenol Sodium as precursor of Prostaglandin 2α(PGF2α), differing in doses and application interval. The results obtained in relation to estrus presentation were not significant, since parity indexes had a negative influence after the protocol.

Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease caused by protozoa that has as habitat rivers, streams and dams that are common in Alagoas. This article aims to analyze confirmed cases of schistosomiasis in Alagoas and the epidemiological profile of those infected during the years 2016/2017. The methodology used will be the analysis of statistical data provided by the SINAN and the theoretical basis of publications. A total of 125 positive cases were confirmed in 2016 and 70 cases in 2017, the profile of those infected in the year 2016 was 59% female (F) and 41% Male (M) in 2017 56% M and 44% F. In 2016 were 74 F and 51 M in 2017 39 M and 31 F. The largest age group affected in 2016 was 20-59 years and 2017 40-59 years. The municipalities with the highest indexes in 2016 are Joaquim Gomes, Novo Lino and Campo Grande, 30, 15 and 12 and in 2017 Maceió, Campo Grande and Traipu, 22, 14 and 5 respectively. Total of 50 cases in the urban area and 63 in the rural and 12 in the ignored places, 2017 presented 37 cases in the urban, 23 in the rural and 10 in ignored sites. Socioeconomic characteristics leave Alagoas in high risk, water intended for consumption or general use is not treated, households do not have basic sanitation. It is important to use preventive measures in controlling environmental and educational risk factors to reduce the number of cases.
Perfil bioquímico sérico de gatos (Felis catus domesticus) domésticos submetidos ao consumo exclusivo de dieta seca ou dieta mista
Authors: MARTINS NATHÁLYA
Published: September 2019

The objective of this study was to compare the serum biochemical profile of cats (Felis catus domesticus) submitted to a dry diet and fed a mixed diet (dry damp diet). Eight domestic cats residing in the São Luís city were selected, based on the type of diet consumed (dry or mixed), being determined the serum concentrations of urea, creatinine, total serum protein and fractions, glucose, cholesterol, activities serum levels of ALT, AST and FA. The results obtained showed statistically significant differences only for urea (P < 0.05), which may or may not be the result of dietary influence. The use of moist food as part of the feline diet was therefore a good strategy for the organic balance of these animals, necessitating a larger sample number to determine the real influence of the diet on the biochemical profiles, since other factors may have influenced the observed results.

Fish meat is the most consumed protein source of animal origin in the world, in the North the consumption is around 135 kg per capita / year. Fishmeal, although little known and used throughout the Brazilian territory, has been gradually discovered by nutritionists and followers of healthy food. This work aims to evaluate the physico-chemical and microbiological characteristics of a protein meal developed from Tambaqui (C. macropomum). In this sense, determinations were made for proteins, lipids, ashes, moisture, carbohydrates and caloric value. All analyzes were done in triplicate. Proteins were determined by the Kjeldahl method, through digestion, distillation and titration of the sample for determination of total nitrogen. For extraction of the lipids approximately 10 g of each sample were weighed and determined by the method of Bligh and Dyer (1959). The fixed mineral residue or ashes were determined by calcination of the sample. Carbohydrates were determined by difference. Based on the laboratory data and observation of the obtained results it was verified that the fish meal of Tambaqui analyzed indicates protein of 70%, fats of 5.5%, ashes of 3.9%, humidity of 7.8%, carbohydrates of 12.8% and totaling 380.7 kcal. In the microbiological analyzes, all the samples evaluated were negative for both Staphylococcus coagulase positive and Salmonella sp., Making the product suitable for human consumption. Finally, from the flour, it was possible to maintain the nutritional properties of the Tambaqui fish (C. macropomum), being an important alternative for its use.

While developing the captured territories of Ukraine, it turned out that it was impossible to get by without legal regulation means of local community, government and police forces. There was one more necessity which added – to settle personal, civil, material and family status of the people.

The occupation administration had to create a certain system of legal relations, the purpose and objectives of which was not always to achieve the goals and the tasks of the Third Reich policy in Ukraine. In these aspects of the occupation regime, the following tools of influence were more effective: criminal, labor and social legislation as well as extrajudicial, repressive and punitive means. One of the ways to achieve this goal was creation of legal departments, notary and legal consultations at city and district executive boards.

There was also Legal Consultation under the general control of the Administrative department of the Executive Board which meant to provide legal assistance to the population through consulting, various types of treaties and statutes drafting.

The legal consultation combined the functions of an advisory body and legal office. This institution provided oral consultations, filed complaints, treaties and statutes as well as presented it to the court as needed. The legal consultation existed in a self-sustaining mode: each legal action was paid as it was specified in the Provision "On Legal Advice", except for the cases when the Administrative Department solicited for the free services for the people who were not able to pay. All funds were transferred to a separate account of Consultation and were then used to pay salary to the consultants. The consultants were qualified specialists with higher education. In general, the Legal consultation was of high demand.Thus, we have some reasons to state that one of the means of establishing law and order in the occupied regions of Ukraine was creation of legal departments at city and district executive boards, notary offices and legal consultation. The latter provided legal services to the population and local governments, thus regulating social relations which also existed during occupation of our country.

The author investigates the deployment of crisis phenomena in the CPSU-CPU during 1985-1991, analyzes the causes of the crisis of confidence of ordinary communists in the policy of the CPSU-CPU, attempts to counteract the Communist Party structures for the development of the national liberation movement, examines the quantitative indicators of the composition of the CPSU-CPU, their changes under the influence of the social -political transformations. The crisis of the CPSU-KPU, which resulted in a mass exit from the party, reflected the unwillingness of the Communist Party apparatus to decisively change in the transformation of society from totalitarian to democratic. During the years of "restructuring", the leadership of the CPSU-KPU lost authority and support among the majority of socio-demographic groups of the Ukrainian population. Commitment to the dogmatic Marxist-Leninist ideology, the support of the idea of an updated Union treaty, the recognition of the Communist Party's status as a branch of the All-Union CPSU testified to the atrophy of political will. In the regions where the support of the informal population, including the opposition CPU, was the largest (in Galicia, the national-democratic organizations, in the East of Ukraine, the workers' strike committees), conditions were created for the mass exodus of the party. The failed August 1991 coup attempt put an end to the existence of not only the USSR. Established by the Presidium of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the Temporary Investigation Commission came to the conclusion of the support of the rebels by the leadership of the Communist Party. On August 30, 1991, the CPSU-CPU was banned.
LE FINANCEMENT PARTICIPATIF : UNE ALTERNATIVE AU FINANCEMENT AGRICOLE AU BENIN
Authors: TOKO KOUTOGUI Abdoul kafid Chabi
Published: September 2019

The Beninese agricultural sector suffers mainly from a lack of financing. This study, conducted on a random sample of 150 households in Parakou commune, shows that participatory financing with a counterpart in agricultural product is an alternative to financing the production of local farms. Food among the population of Parakou consists mainly of cereals, particularly maize (according to 75% of households surveyed). Non-agricultural households purchase agricultural products according to their purchasing power and the economic situation. This study confirms that people are suffering from social injustice caused by an increase in product prices caused by the agricultural financing activity of loan sharks. It should be noted that 75% of households are willing to adopt the participatory financing proposed in this article. Households are ready to buy at an average price of 12.172 XOF/Kg.
PIPE DREAMS: WATER, DEVELOPMENT AND THE WORK OF THE IMAGINATION IN ETHIOPIA'S LOWER OMO VALLEY
Authors: Pertaub David-Paul , Stevenson Edward G.J.
Published: September 2019

Ethiopia's lower Omo valley is currently undergoing profound changes, due in part to water development interventions. The state and corporate partners are implementing large dam and irrigation schemes; missionaries are attempting to install safe water supplies. We explore the reception of these projects by local people, and their implications for intergroup relations. Water development schemes, we argue, function as technologies of the imagination, stimulating people to imagine different kinds of futures. These dynamics are illustrated through ethnographic work on the reception of new wells drilled by European missionaries in Nyangatom.
TRANSFORMING LABOUR AND TECHNOLOGY OF THE ANCIENT
TULA
WELLS FOR WATERING LIVESTOCK IN BORANA, ETHIOPIA
Authors: Tiki Waktole , Oba Gufu
Published: September 2019

In southern Ethiopia, pastoralism has been possible due to complex ancient indigenous technology for excavating and rehabilitating the ancient tula wells. Despite centuries of operations, recent years have seen fundamental transformations in labour mobilisation and the technology for water harvesting, while hired labour is replacing clan-based labour organisation. Payments for well rehabilitation have changed from cattle to cash, while technological transformations include using plastic buckets (jerrycans) instead of leather buckets (
okole
), and metal tools and earth moving machines. The combined effects of such transformations will affect the sustainability of the Borana water management system, which remains uncertain.
HERDERS' WATER PRACTICES AND CONFLICTS IN A PALESTINIAN VILLAGE (WĀDĪ FŪKĪN, WEST BANK)
Authors: De Donato Anita
Published: September 2019

This article focuses on the political, economic and socio-ecological processes that have led to the gradual disappearance of mobile herding in the Palestinian village of Wādī Fūkīn (West Bank). Along with Israel's land legislation, urban development policies and redefinition of territorial borders, water centralisation and commoditisation, as well as agricultural modernisation, have brought radical changes to access to and rights over water and land. New socio-ecological conditions and marginalisation, both as a result of the policies of Israel and the Palestinian Authority and within the global economy, have led to the abandonment of mobile productive activities and affect villagers' claims for their identity as 'sedentary farmers' in opposition to 'nomadic pastoralists'.
EAU ET PÂTURAGES AU NIGER: CONFLITS, MARCHANDISATION ET MODES DE GOUVERNANCE
Authors: de Sardan Jean-Pierre Olivier , Mohamadou Abdoulaye
Published: September 2019

Among several forms of herding in Niger, mobile herding remains the most important. Water access has undergone deep transformations in this field: increasing conflict with farmers, uses of wells as land tenure markers, multiplication of drilled wells with maintenance and management problems, commoditisation of water points. Various modes of governance are thus more and more intermingled in pastoralists' access to water infrastructures, including the state (often repressive, racketeer, absent, involved in patronage relations); municipalities (taking resources from herding without investing in it); development projects (perceived as an income to benefit from); and herder associations (fostered by senior officers).
Der Entwicklung trotzen

Eingebettet in die neue Welle an großen Staudammprojekten in Afrika befasst sich der Beitrag mit dem Bau des Merowe-Staudamms im Nordsudan und der Organisation einer lokalen Widerstandsbewegung in den Peripherien des Niltals gegen Vertreibungen in staatlich verwaltete Umsiedlungsgebiete. Basierend auf ethnologischer Langzeitforschung analysiere ich den bäuerlichen Kampf um Selbstbestimmung, der sich in einer sozialen Vision des Bleibens um den künftigen Stausee ausdrückte und die staatliche Rechtfertigung der „Umsiedlung als Zivilisierung“ herausforderte. Ich argumentiere, dass Staudammprojekte „offene Momente“ produzieren, in denen sich Machtbeziehungen zwischen Staat und Gesellschaft re-konfigurieren sowie Brüche und neue Beziehungen zwischen lokalen und regionalen Akteuren entstehen. In der Auseinandersetzung mit despotischen Formen staatlicher Herrschaft entwickelte sich lokal eine provisorische autonome Zone, die staatsähnliche Verwaltungscharakteristika besaß. Die Dynamik, Kontingenzen und Unvorhersehbarkeiten politischer Prozesse stellen vorherrschende Planungsparadigmen, die darauf abzielen, Umsiedlungsprozesse zu optimieren, und diese dabei entpolitisieren, in Frage.
Ein ewiges Hin und Her
Authors: Bendix Daniel
Published: September 2019

Dieser Beitrag untersucht bäuerlichen Widerstand gegen Vertreibung durch Landgrabbing in dem zu Zeiten der französischen Kolonialherrschaft gegründeten Entwicklungsprojekt Office du Niger in Mali. In dem analysierten Fall handelt es sich um eine fast zehn Jahre andauernde Auseinandersetzung zwischen Kleinbäuerinnen und -bauern und einem malischen Großunternehmer um landwirtschaftlich nutzbare Flächen. Es werden drei Strategien kleinbäuerlichen Widerstands identifiziert (kollektives Vorgehen, Anrufung des Staates, nationale und internationale Allianzen) und deren Möglichkeiten und Beschränkungen diskutiert. Der Artikel argumentiert, dass der Kampf um Rückgabe des entzogenen Landes bzw. für umfassende Kompensation bislang erfolglos war, weil zum einen keine Einigkeit zwischen den Akteur*innen des Widerstands besteht und zum anderen die Verwaltungsbehörde Office du Niger wie ein „listiger“ Staat im Staat agiert. Erfolgreich ist der Widerstand hingegen insofern, als er immer noch andauert, wobei insbesondere transnationale Allianzbildung und die Adressierung von „Gebern“ wie der Afrikanischen Entwicklungsbank und dem BMZ Wirkung zeigt.
Density of the spectrum of Jacobi matrices with power asymptotics
Authors: Pruckner Raphael
Published: September 2019

We consider Jacobi matrices J whose parameters have the power asymptotics [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for the off-diagonal and diagonal, respectively.

We show that for [Formula: see text], or [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], the matrix J is in the limit circle case and the convergence exponent of its spectrum is [Formula: see text]. Moreover, we obtain upper and lower bounds for the upper density of the spectrum.

When the parameters of the matrix J have a power asymptotic with one more term, we characterise the occurrence of the limit circle case completely (including the exceptional case [Formula: see text]) and determine the convergence exponent in almost all cases.
A uniformly valid model for the limiting behaviour of voltage potentials in the presence of thin inhomogeneities II. A local energy approximation result
Authors: Charnley M. , Vogelius M.S.
Published: September 2019

In this second part of a two part paper, we establish a local, uniform energy-approximation estimate for the solutions to a simplified model of thin inhomogeneities with open mid-curves. This local result plays a crucial role in the proof of the global, uniform approximation results established in the first part of this paper ( Asymptotic Analysis ( 2019 )). For more details about the model we also refer the reader to ( Chinese Annals of Mathematics, Series B 38 ( 2017 ) 293–344).
Surface waves in a channel with thin tunnels and wells at the bottom: Non-reflecting underwater topography
Authors: Chesnel Lucas , Nazarov Sergei A. , Taskinen Jari
Published: September 2019

We consider the propagation of surface water waves in a straight planar channel perturbed at the bottom by several thin curved tunnels and wells. We propose a method to construct non reflecting underwater topographies of this type at an arbitrary prescribed wave number. To proceed, we compute asymptotic expansions of the diffraction solutions with respect to the small parameter of the geometry taking into account the existence of boundary layer phenomena. We establish error estimates to validate the expansions using advances techniques of weighted spaces with detached asymptotics. In the process, we show the absence of trapped surface waves for perturbations small enough. This analysis furnishes asymptotic formulas for the scattering matrix and we use them to determine underwater topographies which are non-reflecting. Theoretical and numerical examples are given.
Characterization of the acoustic fields scattered by a cluster of small holes
Authors: Challa Durga Prasad , Mantile Andrea , Sini Mourad
Published: September 2019

We deal with the time-harmonic acoustic waves scattered by a large number of small holes, with radius a, [Formula: see text], arbitrarily distributed in a bounded part of the homogeneous background [Formula: see text]. We assume no periodicity in distributing these holes. Using the asymptotic expansions of the scattered field by this cluster, we show that as their number M grows following the law [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], the collection of these holes has one of the following behaviors:

(1) if [Formula: see text], then the scattered fields tend to vanish as a tends to zero, i.e., the cluster is a soft one.

(2) if [Formula: see text], then the cluster behaves as an equivalent medium modeled by a refraction index, supported in a given bounded domain Ω, which is described by certain geometry properties of the holes and their local distribution. The cluster is a moderate (or intermediate) one.

(3) if [Formula: see text], with additional conditions, then the cluster behaves as a totally reflecting extended body, modeled by a bounded domain Ω, i.e., the incident waves are totally reflected by the surface of this extended body. The cluster is a rigid one.

Explicit errors estimates between the scattered fields due to the cluster of small holes and the ones due to equivalent media (i.e., the refraction index) or the extended body are provided.
