Yabancılaşma: Marx’ın Teorisine Bir Giriş, Dan Swain, çev. Hande T. Urbarlı, İstanbul, 2013, 108 s.
Authors: YILDIRIM Tamer
Published: June 2021

Alienation: An Introduction to Marxs Theory adıyla 2012 yılında İngilizce olarak basılan kitap, giriş, 13 bölüm, ek okuma ve notlar kısmından oluşmaktadır. 108 sayfada yabancılaşmanın tarihsel gelişimi, Marx’ın düşüncesindeki farklı yönleri ve günümüze yansıyan şekilleri ele alınarak belirtilen konuların tamamının bütün yönleriyle anlatılması mümkün değildir. Fakat kitap, Marksist bir bakış açısıyla insan doğasının niteliğinin neye dayandığını veya neye sahip olduğunu anlamak için temel düzeyde bilgiler vermekte bir anlamda yeni başlayanlara Marx’ın yabancılaşma teorisinin temel ilkelerini sunmaktadır. Derinlemesine bilgi edinmek isteyenler için kitabın sonunda ek okuma bölümü oluşturulmuş fakat burada adı verilen eserlerin yarıdan fazlasının Türkçe basımlarının olmaması bu eksikliğin giderilmesini zorlaştırmaktadır.
Afet ve Aile İçi İlişkiler: Covid-19 Pandemisinin Aile İçi Tartışma ve Şiddet Üzerindeki Etkileri
Authors: GÜNGÖR Vehbi , AŞKIN Deniz
Published: June 2021

Bu çalışma Covid-19 pandemisi sürecinde aile içi ilişkilerde meydana gelen sosyal değişme, tartışma ve şiddet parametrelerini elde edilen nitel veriler üzerinden analiz etmektedir. Veriler doğrultusunda, bireylerin özellikle evde ve kapalı mekânda kalmalarından ötürü psikolojik sorunlar yaşadıkları ve bunun aile içi ilişkilere olumsuz bir şekilde yansıdığı görülmektedir. Bireylerin tartışmalarını çoğunlukla “nedensiz” tanımlamasını, pandemi sürecinin zemin hazırladığı stres, kaygı, endişe gibi psikolojik durumların gündelik ilişkilere yansıması olarak değerlendirmek mümkündür. Çalışma kapsamında görüşülen kadın ve erkeklerin bu süreçten olumsuz etkilendiği görülürken, erkeklerin aile içi ilişkiler konusunda konuşmada daha isteksiz oldukları, buna karşın kadınların problemlerin arttığını ifade etmeleri de dikkat çekicidir. Saha çalışmasında, aile içi tartışmalara neden olan durumların çoğunlukla, evde kalınan süre içinde bütün davranışların gözetim altında olması, kadınların evde kalmaya başlayan erkekleri ev işlerine müdahale etmekle “suçlaması” iken bu durum çoğunlukla tartışma, bazen de şiddete varan sonuçlar ile aile içi ilişkileri olumsuz etkilediği çalışma bulgularına yansımaktadır. Çalışmada elde edilen veriler 2020 yılının Mart ve Nisan aylarında pandemiden dolayı sokağa çıkış yasaklarının uygulandığı süreçte 8 kadın ve 7 erkek olmak üzere toplamda 15 kişiye telefon ile ulaşılarak uygulanan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formuna dayanmaktadır. Nitel bir çalışmanın görünenin derin bilgisine ulaşma hassasiyeti ile konu ele alınmış ve bulgular sosyolojik bir zeminde tartışılmıştır.

STUDI KETERSEDIAAN INFRASTRUKTUR PROTEKSI PEMADAM KEBAKARAN DAN KELEMBAGAANNYA DI KOTA YOGYAKARTA
Authors: Nurokhman Nurokhman
Published: June 2021

Pertumbuhan penduduk yang terpusat di perkotaan menyebabkan aktivitas di kawasan ini menjadi semakin tinggi dengan hunian permukiman yang padat dan keterbatasan sarana dasar. Akibatnya akan semakin banyak masyarakat kota yang terkonsentrasi menetap pada kawasan yang rentan terhadap risiko bencana kebakaran, jika terjadi kebakaran di kawasan tersebut maka probabilitas jatuhnya korban juga akan semakin besar. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, diperlukan suatu usaha yang dapat digunakan sebagai cara untuk mengurangi atau menghilangkan risiko akibat bencana kebakaran terhadap manusia dan harta bendanya terutama di kawasan-kawasan terbangun seperti kawasan permukiman padat yang memiliki tingkat kerentanan yang relatif lebih tinggi. Ketersediaan sarana prasarana proteksi pemadam kebakaran di permukiman padat dan kelembagaan menjadi salah satu indikator perhatian pemerintah dalam mengurangi kebakaran. Tujuan dari kegiatan ini adalah mengetahui ketersediaan infrastruktur serta kondisi kelembagaan terkait penanganan bencana kebakaran di Kota Yogyakarta sehingga dapat dijadikan masukan pemerintah daerah dalam penyususnan kebijakan seperti RISPK. Kondisi sarana dan prasarana untuk pendukung penangana kebakaran berdasarkan peraturan yang ada maka Kota Yogyakarta perlu dibagi menjadi 4 wilayah manajemen kebakaran (WMK) yang selama ini baru ada 2 WMK.Dengan penambahan 2 WMK, maka sarana pendukung perlu ditambah seperti pos pemadam kebakaran, mobil kebakaran, personil, dan pendukung lainnya, untuk mewujudkan profesionalitas pemadam kebakaran, maka perlu dilakukan peningkatan kapasitas SDM. Bencana kebakaran di Kota Yogyakarta perlu ditangani bersama maka diperlukan kerjasama institusional baik antar dinas, pemerintah daerah, pihak swasta maupun masyarakat. Pada tingkat masyarakat perlu dibentuk komunitas pedulu pemadam kebakaran untuk penangan reaksi cepat dengan tetap ada koordinasi dengan lembaga terkait di pemerintah daerah. Kota Yogyakarta perlu membuat rencana strategis dalam penanganan kebakaran dalam bentuk RSIPK lima tahunan.
PERILAKU PASANGAN BATU CANDI PRAMBANAN TERHADAP GAYA GESER DENGAN PENGISI LEMPUNG DAN VARIASI PENAMBAHAN PASIR (10%, 20%, dan 30%)
Authors: Purwoko Fajar
Published: June 2021

Bangunan candi batu memiliki karakteristik struktur yang serupa sebagaimana bangunan umum lainnya, misalnya gedung. Seperti halnya candi Prambanan, dengan bentuk struktur yang tinggi dan cukup ramping maka bangunan ini memiliki karakteristik struktur yang mirip dengan bangunan yang tinggi. Sebagai sebuah struktur bangunan yang tinggi, maka bangunan candi harus memenuhi persyaratan kestabilan struktur sebagaimana halnya struktur bangunan yang lain. Hal ini berarti bahwa candi harus mampu mendukung beban yang terjadi yaitu beban gempa dan beban gravitasi dari berat sendiri candi. Beban gempa dipengaruhi oleh beban gravitasi sedangkan beban gravitasi dipengaruhi oleh berat jenis batuan penyusun candi (BP3 Yogyakarta, 2009).Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan uji geser pasangan batuan candi yaitu batu tuff dengan pengisi tanah lempung Bayat I dan II, dan Prambanan (Gunung Gilang). Dari ketiga jenis tanah tersebut diberi campuran variasi pasir, namun sebelum dilakukan pengujian geser pasangan batu, tanah campuran tersebut diuji kuat geser tanah dengan geser langsung dan pemadatan tanah untuk mencari kadar air optimum. Dalam pengujian geser pasangan batu menitikberatkan pada pengujian dengan kadar air optimum (nilai kuat geser tanah terbesar), sehingga diperoleh suatu variasi nilai yang menunjukkan perilaku geser pasangan batu dalam keadaan optimum yang dipengaruhi juga oleh variasi pasir dalam pasangan.Hasil percobaan yang telah dilakukan menghasilkan pengujian geser langsung tanah pengisi, Bayat I, II, dan Prambanan dengan sudut gesek internal terbesar pada variasi pasir 30%, masing-masing sebesar 40.70, 49.480, dan 48.930. Pada pengujian geser pasangan batu candi (tuff) tanah pengisi Bayat I, II, dan Prambanan menghasilkan nilai tegangan maksimumnya pada variasi pasir 30%, masing-masing sebesar 1.296 kg/cm2, 1.257 kg/cm2, dan 1.254 kg/cm2. Selain ketiga variasi tanah tersebut, pengujian geser pasangan batu juga dilakukan pada pasangan batuan tanpa pengisi dengan hasil tegangan maksimumnya  ebesar 1.34 kg/cm2, hasil ini lebih besar jika dibandingkan dengan ketiga variasi diatas, namun batuan penyusun sudah hancur tidak dapat dipakai dan dilanjutkan pengujiannya lagi. Disimpulkan bahwa tanah pengisi merupakan perata beban yang baik dan variasi pasir memberikan trend positif dalam menaikkan kuat geser pasangan batuan candi (tuff).

AVALIAÇÃO DE TÉCNICAS DE REFINO DE ÓLEO RECICLADO PARA A PRODUÇÃO BIODIESEL
Authors: Silva Carmem Cícera Maria da , Fonseca Gustavo Graciano
Published: June 2021

O óleo reciclado é uma opção de matéria-prima para a produção de biodiesel. Ele apresenta vantagens ambiental e econômica, mas há desvantagens na produção de biodiesel, como a presença de resíduos das reações de oxidação que ocorrem durante as frituras. O óleo reciclado chega ao produtor de biodiesel com estas impurezas e acidez acima do padrão desejado. Desta forma, necessita de tratamentos adicionais, como a neutralização química. Este processo é muito utilizado por indústrias oleaginosas e produtores de biodiesel, mas apresenta desvantagens quando o objetivo é tratar óleos com acidez elevada. Tratamentos ambientalmente corretos e inovadores para os óleos, tem sido alvo de pesquisas recentes visando menores impactos à matéria-prima e formação de resíduos (ou formação de coprodutos de maior valor agregado). Este estudo teve como objetivo apresentar o refino físico como um processo substituto de tratamento aos óleos reciclados no processo de produção de biodiesel, realizando uma avaliação comparativa como o refino químico, através de determinações de rendimento e de parâmetros físico-químicos. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que o tratamento de refino físico acarretou uma redução de 32,59% de índice de acidez, enquanto que o químico foi de 92,11%, ambos em relação ao índice de acidez do óleo inicial. Em contrapartida, o comparativo de rendimento entre as duas técnicas, demonstrou que o físico apresentou um aumento de 51,09% em relação ao químico, sem causar formação de borra e resíduos. Por meio do refino físico houve a formação de ácidos graxos livres que podem ter várias aplicações industriais na química fina ao contrário do químico.

Authors: B Vinod , V V Prasanth
Published: June 2021

Coumarin is a heterocyclic moiety containing benzo pyran ring structure. It is widely distributed in the plant kingdom as a glycoside. Many compounds of medicinal and pharmaceutical importance possess coumarin ring structure. Drugs with coumarin structure can be synthesized by many well-known synthetic reactions. Coumarin derivatives were found to be antibacterial, anticoagulant, antiinflammatory, anti-HIV, anti-cancer and antioxidant. As part of the search for new and effective antibacterial agents, eight novel derivatives of coumarins were synthesized by Mannich reaction. All the compounds were evaluated for antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli using ciprofloxacin as standard and DMSO as solvent. Three of the synthesized derivatives exhibited good antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherchia coli. The work must be extended so as to develop coumarin derivatives into highly effective antibacterial agents.

Authors: Horváthy Balázs
Published: June 2021

Az Európai Unió és az Egyesült Királyság tárgyalói 2019 őszén módosították a brexitre vonatkozó feltételeket annak érdekében, hogy sikeresen le lehessen zárni a brit parlamentben a kilépési szerződés megerősítését. Figyelembe véve a 2019. decemberben megtartott általános választások eredményeit is, ma már bizonyos, hogy az Egyesült Királyság e feltételek között fogja elhagyni az Európai Uniót 2020. január 31-ig. A cikk e feltételrendszer szűkebb, kereskedelmi jogi összefüggéseire fókuszál. Célja annak bemutatása, hogy egyrészt milyen szerepet játszottak a kereskedelmi jogi megfontolások a kilépési tárgyalásokon, másrészt hogy a kilépést követően milyen feltételek szerint határozza majd meg a kilépési megállapodás az Európai Unió és az Egyesült Királyság közötti kereskedelmi forgalmat. A cikkben a szerző ismerteti azokat fontosabb kereskedelmi jogi normákat, amelyek az átmeneti időszakban lesznek irányadók, külön kitér az Észak-Írországra alkalmazandó speciális szabályokra, valamint azokra a főbb elvekre, amelyek a jövőbeni, hosszú távú kapcsolatrendszer szempontjából lehetnek meghatározók.

A MANIFESTAÇÃO DE DEUS NA HISTÓRIA DO SEU POVO
Authors: Domingos Luiz Fabio
Published: June 2021

O presente estudo visa apresentar uma análise descritiva da manifestação de Deus na história do seu povo, considerando a necessidade de um aprofundamento da história da revelação-salvação, onde nasce o desejo de perceber a maravilha do Senhor que se revela na história, desde a criação até a vinda de Jesus e que Se corresponde com homem, imagem e sua semelhança. O objetivo dessa reflexão é levar o homem a descobrir o Senhor da História na história, onde é chamado a perceber a ação de Deus (Pai, Filho e Espírito Santo) em todos os momentos, numa relação profunda e vital, tendo em vista a salvação operada pelo Senhor. Por isso, buscou-se perceber o toque do próprio Deus, tornando a história, em seus desdobramentos, sagrada e fazendo com que a experiência religiosa do homem possa ser compreendida através dessa revelação do Senhor. Para tanto, procurou-se delinear os conteúdos, tendo em vista a dinâmica dessa Revelação de Deus, identificando na Escritura e na atualidade a relação do homem com Iahweh.

Published: June 2021

The goal of the present study is to characterize the Flow Experience in activities as Levadas, Hiking and Mountain Biking. We aim to analyse the differences between practitioners, on how they perceive their experience. A survey was applied, at the end of each activity. A sample of 449 individuals from 21 different countries was collected. From this sample 217 individuals were males and 232 females with an average age of 41.5 ± 16.1 years old. According to the results obtained in the joint analysis of activities, the natural space scale stands out, was the aspect most valued by practitioners. On the other hand, the motivation scale of the practitioners was the least valued aspect. On the demographic analysis, differences were found (p <0.05) regarding the profile of practitioners in the three activities. Mountain bikers stand out from the Levadas practitioners and the Hikers (p <0.05), being on average younger and in a greater proportion males. When comparing the three activities the description of the Flow experience is reported in a different way by the practitioners (p <0.05). Only in the natural scenario scale, no differences (p = 0.110) were verified. Overall, we consider that it is possible to conclude that this type of activities can provide the Flow experience and that the instrument used allows us to characterize it.

Avaliação em Educação Física: O Que Sabemos? Onde Estamos? Para Onde Queremos Caminhar?
Authors: Batista Paula
Published: June 2021

The assessment problematic in the educational context is the opening point of this reflection. Starting from a characterization of the assessment practices that have prevailed in the school context and the demands of the new curricular configuration in Portugal, is defend an evaluation perspective that enhances learning, in detriment of an assessment centered on the results and the traditional assessment types, where the summative assessment prevails. The text unfolds around three questions - where are we? What do we know? Where do we want to go? - seeking to deconstruct the entrenched idea that assessment is synonymous of classification, defending the value of formative assessment in a double function: to inform the teacher and students, in a dynamic collaborative work. At Physical Education is emphasize the need to value the experiential component along with the functional and propositional components. The need for an alignment between curriculum, pedagogy and assessment, and student involvement throughout whole the process, is the target that should be achieved.

Authors: GÜNGÖR Ayten
Published: June 2021

Dijital devrim, toplumsal yaşamda önemli değişimler yaratarak insanoğlunun iletişim kurma yöntemlerine bir yenisini eklemiştir. Dünyayı değiştiren ve değişen dünyaya hızla ayak uyduran bu yeni iletişim platformunun adı sosyal medyadır. Sanallığın gerçekliğe hükmettiği bu platform, politikadan, ekonomiye, ticaretten, eğitime tüm sistemleri kendi ortamına taşıyarak, onları değişime zorlamıştır. Bu noktada dijitalleşen iletişim ağlarına dâhil olmak isteyen yeni nesil anneler, anneliği sayısal dünyanın dokusuna dönüştürerek kendilerine yeni bir var olma alanı yaratmıştır. Bu çalışmada, sosyal medya ortamlarında gerçekleşen çocuk istismarı ve hak ihlalleri üzerinde durulmuştur. Bu çerçevede çocuk istismarı ve hak ihlallerinin sosyal medya üzerinden ne şekilde gerçekleştiği, pedofili ve sosyal medya paylaşımları arasındaki ilişki incelenmiştir. Çalışma sonucu, çıkan bulgular ele alınarak genel bir değerlendirme yapılmıştır.
Mahremiyetten Rızaya Dijital Albümler "Instagram Örneği"
Authors: AYDEMİR Aslı
Published: June 2021

Fotoğrafın icat edilmesi, sonrasında Osmanlılarda ilk uygulamalarının görülmesinden bugüne kadar fotoğraflar geçmişi geleceğe aktaran kültürel bir miras olarak görülmektedir. Özellikle de 1960'lı yıllardan itibaren Türk toplumunda aile toplantılarının olmazsa olmaz anlarından biri, fotoğraf albümlerine bakmak ve eski zamanlara dalıp yeni nesillere geçmişi aktarmaktır. En mahrem alanlar olan evlerde bakılan bu fotoğraf albümleri bir nevi ailenin gelecekteki nesillerine bir mirasıdır. Ancak günümüzde dijitalleşme ile birlikte en mahrem anların fotoğraflarının yer aldığı albümlerinin neredeyse yok denecek kadar azaldığı mahremiyetin de kişinin kendi rızasıyla başkaları tarafından beğenilme arzusuyla sosyal medya ortamlarında hiç çekinilmeden paylaşıldığı görülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı da sosyal medya ortamlarında paylaşılan özel anlara ilişkin fotoğrafların kişisel rızayla mahremiyet algısındaki dönüşümünü örnekler üzerinden yorumlayabilmektir. Çalışma, nitel araştırma yöntemi olan doküman analizi yöntemiyle literatür kapsamında anlatılanları açıklayabilme kapasitesi bakımdan en yüksek verileri içeren bir fotoğraf paylaşım sitesi olan Instagram üzerinden rastgele yöntemle seçilen fotoğrafların analizini içermektedir. Analiz sonucunda, bireylerin aile, çocuk, doğum anı, evlilik kurumu, çalıştıkları kurumun mahremiyeti gibi her türlü mahrem alanlarını ve toplumsal bir statü kazanabilmek adına maddi varlıklarını kendi rızalarıyla ifşa ettikleri görülmüştür. Ayrıca "canım kendim" hashtagi ile paylaşım yapan kullanıcıların gözetlenme isteği ve beğenilme arzusuyla paylaşım yaptığı bir ortamda, narsist kişiliklerin arttığı ve modernleşme adı altında sosyal medya ortamlarında yaratılan kurguyla cehalet çıkmazına sürüklenen bir toplumun oluştuğu görülmüştür.

Mangrove forests are highly productive ecosystems that sustain marine life, including fish communities. This study aimed to analyse mangrove characteristics, physicochemical parameters, nutrient and primary production derived from mangrove litter and estimate the fish production. The study was conducted at five mangrove sites in North Sumatra and the Aceh Provinces, Indonesia. Two sites represented natural forest at North Sumatra and Aceh (Jaring Halus and Langsa). In comparison, two sites were mangroves converted into oil palm plantations (Pulau Sembilan and Pulau Kampai, North Sumatra). The fifth site was a mangrove forest converted into aquacultural ponds (Percut Sei Tuan, North Sumatra). The study displays the dissemination of mangrove species in five different mangrove sites showing diversity. Avicennia spp found in estuarine near a coastal area, Rhizophora spp spread across the sites, and Sonneratia spp were more likely to occur in the mouth of the upstream river. Litter production at the present study site was dominated by Rhizophora spp., followed by Avicennia spp. This finding was very closely related to the nutrients resulting from litter decomposition in the mangrove ecosystem. The primary production value of 870-1,747 g C m-2 year had a significant role as the beginning of the estuary food chain. Our results show a close association between fish productivity and mangrove management, and conservation status. The highest fish production was found in the well-preserved forests (Jaring Halus and Langsa), followed by the sites converted to palm oil plantations (Pulau Sembilan and Pulau Kampai). At the same time, the least fishing productivity was identified at the fishing ponds (Percut Sei Tuan). The present study provides further evidence of the significant role of mangrove ecosystems for fisheries and calls for effective restoration programs to support local food security along the coast of Indonesia.

FT-Raman spectroscopy (FT-RS) was used to investigate green tea’s potential protective effect as an antioxidant during frozen storage of Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus). Atlantic mackerel was stored for more than 26 weeks at −10°C or –80°C (control), with or without green tea (GT). Raman analysis showed substantial changes in protein structure due to frozen storage, especially at the higher storage temperature (−10°C), compared with the findings at −80°C or −10°C with instant GT, indicated by a decrease in the tyrosine doublet ratio, a-helix content. O-H stretching band intensity, along with an increase in tryptophan band intensity and β-sheet structure. GT as an antioxidant at a concentration of ~250 ppm can protect the structure of fish proteins for a limited storage period. However, for optimal freshness, fish should be stored at very low temperatures.

Thorium abundance in the Earth's crust is estimated to be three to four times higher than uranium. This is one potential advantage of Thorium as a provider of attractive fuel to produce nuclear energy. Fewer transuranics produced by Thorium during the fuel burn up in the reactor may also be another advantage for reducing the long-term burden of high-level long-lived waste. The scope of this paper is to study the implication of Thorium fraction on neutronic parameters of pebble bed reactor. The reactor model of HTR-10 was selected, and the (Th, 235U)O2 fuel was used in this study. The MCNP6 code was applied to solve a series of neutron transport calculations with various Thorium fractions in (Th,235U)O2 fuel based on the ENDF/BVII library. The calculation results show that the total temperature coefficient of reactivity of Thorium-added pebble bed reactors is generally more negative than those of LEU-fuelled one, except for 10% Thorium fraction. The kinetic parameters, especially prompt neutron lifetime and neutron generation time of pebble bed reactors, are higher, which means the addition of Thorium in the fuel makes the reactor more easily controlled. However, the burn-up calculations show that the introduction of Thorium in the same fuel kernel as LEU within the pebble bed reactor is unable to lengthen the fuel residence time, except for a minimum of 40% Thorium fraction.

Synoptic revision of Kolobopetalum and Rhigiocarya (Menispermaceae) with the description of a new Kolobopetalum species from Gabon, and a new specific combination in Rhigiocarya from West Africa
Authors: Breteler Frans J.
Published: June 2021

Background and aims – In the framework of the Menispermaceae treatment for the Flore du Gabon, the closely related genera Kolobopetalum and Rhigiocarya are synoptically revised.Material and methods – Standard practices of herbarium taxonomy have been applied to study the relevant herbarium material from B, BM, BR, BRLU, HBG, K, L, P, U, and WAG. The relevant collecting data are stored in the Botany Section of the Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Leiden, The Netherlands.Key results – The distinction between the genera Kolobopetalum and Rhigiocarya is further investigated and improved. As a result, Kolobopetalum leonense is transferred to Rhigiocarya. The Gabonese collections of Kolobopetalum contained a new species named K. synsepalum, which is described and illustrated. Rhigiocarya nervosa is resurrected as a distinct species. The distribution of all species is mapped. Illustrations are provided to facilitate the use of the key for the two genera and their species.
Time since first record and population density influence range sizes of non-native plants, but also of native plants, in a chronically overgrazed island
Authors: Garcillán Pedro P. , Martorell Carlos
Published: June 2021

Background and aims − Humans are increasingly introducing species to new regions. It is necessary to understand the processes that drive the expansion of non-native species into these new habitats across multiple spatiotemporal scales.Material and methods − We studied the spatial distribution of the non-native flora (39 species) of Guadalupe Island (246 km2) in the Mexican Pacific. We analyzed how residence time (time since first report in historical sources, 1875–2004) and species attributes (population density, flowering phenology, and individual height) are related with range sizes of non-native plants. To test whether the residence time – range size relationship of non-native plants can result from other factors besides time since their arrival, we compared it to the residence time – range size relationship of native plants. Range sizes were obtained using herbarium data and a systematic field sampling of 110 transects (50 × 2 m) throughout the entire island. We used beta regression to analyze the relationship of range sizes with residence time and species attributes.Key results − Range sizes of non-natives showed a positive relationship with residence time, flower phenology, and notably with plant density, but not with individual height. However, similar relationships were found for native species, casting doubts on whether our results reflect the range expansion rates of non-native species. Conclusions − Our results suggest that the production of large numbers of propagules, both as a result of long reproductive periods and large population sizes, determines to a large extent the rates of range size expansion of non-native species. However, the relationship we found between time since discovery and range size may arise from sampling biases, biological processes, or – most likely – both. This highlights the need for new approaches that allow us to discern the relative contributions of bias and process in our study of non-native species expansion.
