Continuous state-space representation of a bucket-type rainfall-runoff model: a case study with the GR4 model using state-space GR4 (version 1.0)
Authors: Santos Léonard , Thirel Guillaume , Perrin Charles
Published: April 2018

Abstract. In many conceptual rainfall–runoff models, the water balance
differential equations are not explicitly formulated. These differential
equations are solved sequentially by splitting the equations into terms that
can be solved analytically with a technique called “operator splitting”. As
a result, only the solutions of the split equations are used to present the
different models. This article provides a methodology to make the governing
water balance equations of a bucket-type rainfall–runoff model explicit and
to solve them continuously. This is done by setting up a comprehensive
state-space representation of the model. By representing it in this way, the
operator splitting, which makes the structural analysis of the model more
complex, could be removed. In this state-space representation, the lag
functions (unit hydrographs), which are frequent in rainfall–runoff models
and make the resolution of the representation difficult, are first replaced
by a so-called “Nash cascade” and then solved with a robust numerical
integration technique. To illustrate this methodology, the GR4J model is
taken as an example. The substitution of the unit hydrographs with a Nash
cascade, even if it modifies the model behaviour when solved using operator
splitting, does not modify it when the state-space representation is solved
using an implicit integration technique. Indeed, the flow time series
simulated by the new representation of the model are very similar to those
simulated by the classic model. The use of a robust numerical technique that
approximates a continuous-time model also improves the lag parameter
consistency across time steps and provides a more time-consistent model with
time-independent parameters.

Published: April 2018

Abstract. Computer models are ubiquitous tools used to represent systems across many scientific and engineering domains. For any given system, many computer models exist, each built on different assumptions and demonstrating variability in the ways in which these systems can be represented. This variability is known as epistemic uncertainty, i.e. uncertainty in our knowledge of how these systems operate. Two primary sources of epistemic uncertainty are: 1) uncertain parameter values, and 2) uncertain mathematical representations of the processes that comprise the system. Many formal methods exist to analyse parameter-based epistemic uncertainty, while process-representation based epistemic uncertainty is often analysed informally and incompletely, or is ignored. In this model description paper we present the Multi-Assumption Architecture and Testbed (MAAT v1.0) designed to formally and more completely analyse process-representation based epistemic uncertainty. MAAT is a modular modelling code that can simply and efficiently vary model structure (process representation) during runtime, allowing the generation of large ensembles that vary in process representation, as well as in parameters, parameter values, and environmental conditions. MAAT v1.0 approaches epistemic uncertainty through sensitivity anlaysis, assigning variability in model output to processes (process representation and parameters) or to individual parameters. In this model description paper we describe MAAT and by using a simple groundwater model example, verify that the sensitivity analysis algorithms have been correctly implemented. The main system model currently coded in MAAT is a unified, leaf-scale enzyme kinetic model of C3 photosynthesis. We describe the photosynthesis model and the unification of multiple representations of photosynthetic processes. The numerical solution to leaf-scale photosynthesis is verified and examples of process variability in temperature response functions are provided. For rapid application to new systems, the MAAT algorithms for efficient variation of model structure and sensitivity analysis are agnostic of the specifc system model employed. Therefore MAAT provides a tool for development of novel or "toy" models in many domains, i.e. not only photosynthesis, facilitating rapid informal and formal comparison of alternative modelling approaches.
Compound flood potential in Europe

Published: April 2018

Abstract. The interaction between storm surges and inland runoff has been gaining increasing attention recently, as they have the potential to result in compound floods. In Europe, several flood events of this type have been recorded in the past century in Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy and United Kingdom. Here, we investigate the probability of joint occurrence of storm surges, precipitation, river discharges and waves. A coincidence of those factors have a potential to cause compound floods. We use several datasets covering most of Europe, including observations and data from the European Flood Awareness System (EFAS), ERA-Interim climate reanalysis and a regional climate model within the CORDEX framework, and carry out a statistical analysis based on copulas to assess the likelihood of joint occurrence. Further, we synthesize the joint probability of occurrence of extreme compound events, and their intensity, in the form of a composite index, thus identifying areas where compound floods could be of most concern. The results show considerable regional differences in dependency structure and the resulting joint probability of extreme surge, precipitation and river discharge events. In southern Europe the probability of joint occurrence of storm surge and precipitation is relatively high due to significant flash flood hazard. In northern Europe, along the main corridor of winter storms, dependency between surges and river discharges is higher than elsewhere, with large differences between west-facing and east-facing coasts. The occurrence of compound floods in most of the Nordic countries and along the Black Sea is very unlikely. The results allow the identification of areas at risk from compound flooding. Future studies that utilize statistical and physical methods are recommended to assess interactions between surges and inland runoff at a local scale.

Authors: Stadnyk Ihor Yaroslavovych , Novak Larysa , Matenchuk Liudmyla
Published: April 2018

An analysis was made of the model approximations of three-phase medium and its behavior under deformation impacts in the rollers bulk feed, the lack of reliability of their operation was noticed and regularities and reasonable geometric parameters was determined. The influence of engineering rheology on the medium was considered and on its basis was derived an analytical mechanical model for determining the optimum value of shift deformation in order to ensure reliable operation of the rollers injection mechanism. A new design and method of determining the geometrical parameters of the pumping unit rollers were proposed and the yeast dough state was examined after cyclic action of the rollers.

Analysis on the Effect of Chinese Medical Reform Policy on Medical Listed Companies -- Empirical Analysis on Listed Companies’ Stocks Returns
Authors: Fu Xiaoqian
Published: April 2018

This paper studies the stock market reaction of medical reform policies to examine policies’ effect on the listed companies which invested in hospital. This paper applies the method of Event Study, finding out that the announcement of the new round of medical and health systemic reform in 2009, the key work for medical and health systemic reform and its detailed rules of implementation in 2010, and the setting of several specific goals to develop the private hospitals run by civilians in 2012, have taken increases of listed companies’ stocks returns (rate of return) by 2.95%, 4.64% and 4.92% separately. That means the whole market value rose by almost 55 billion, 128 billion, and 131 billion of RMB respectively. The empirical analysis results show that share price’s return rate of the listed companies which invested in hospital are significantly associated with industrial planning and supporting policies launched by the government. That is to say, Chinese government’s policy which began to encourage and guide civilian capital to develop the medical industry stimulated the medical and health industry effectively and significantly.

Authors: Bureau Julien S. , Mageau Geneviève A. , Morin Alexandre J. S. , Gagné Marylène , Forest Jacques , Papachristopoulos Konstantinos , Lucas Ashrah , Thibault Landry Anaïs , Parenteau Chloé
Published: April 2018

The organizational environment is purported to have a profound impact on how employees behave at work. In particular, the extent to which the work environment can foster autonomy in employees has been shown to predict several positive outcomes for employees and organizations. This research explores the associations between employees’ experiences of autonomy at work and organizational deviance. We also investigate the mechanisms underlying this association and the possible role of identified motivation as a mediator of this relation. Three studies conducted in a variety of settings, countries, populations and assessment methods showed that employees who experience more autonomy at work tend to engage in lower levels of organizational deviance. Two studies also showed that this relation was mediated by identified motivation. Thus, employees’ experiences of autonomy at work seemed to foster higher levels of identified motivation towards work, which in turn predicted lower levels of organizational deviance. The present results may help guide managerial training and promote organizational cultures that are respectful of employee autonomy, potentially reducing the costs associated with organizational deviance.
Time and boredom
Authors: Chruszczewski Michał H.
Published: April 2018

The text presents two theoretical concepts: psychological time (by Philip G. Zimbardo and John Boyd) and boredom
(by Shelley A. Fahlman, Kimberley B. Mercer-Lynn, David B. Flor and John D. Eastwood). A relationship between subjective perspective of time and feeling of boredom is described. Operating in the framework of the two concepts and basing on own research, the empirical relationship between psychological time and boredom was defined. The results should be analyzed with reference to life quality.
The role of temporal perspective in economical activity – psychological perspective
Authors: Sekścińska Katarzyna , Goszczyńska Maryla , Maison Dominika
Published: April 2018

The article aims to explore the ralationship between different financial behaviours and temporal perspective. Psychological
time is defined and measured in different ways. In the studies presented in the current paper a concept by Philip Zimbardo and John Boyd (2009) was used. It distinguishes five temporal perspectives: (a) past-positive, (b) past-negative, (c) present-hedonistic, (d) present-fatalistic, (e) future. In order to measure this construct, a 15-item short version of Time Perspective Inventory (Short Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory, SZTPI, Zhang, Howell, Bowerman, 2013) was used. Two experiments using representative
(of Polish society) samples were carried out (numbers of participants were 360 and 1090). Different financial behaviours were measured: saving, investing, insurance, and loan raising. Also, their relationship with temporal perspective was looked at (SZTPI). The results revealed a relationship between temporal perspective and financial actions: a higher level of hedonistic-present perspective encouraged cash loans, and a higher level of future perspective was associated with mortgages.
Future perspective was beneficial in
terms of saving and insurance. High level
of fatalistic-present perspective encouraged
financial passivity
Time in creating human situation. On the regulatory function of time
Authors: Ratajczak Zofia
Published: April 2018

The article dwells on the role of time in regulating human behaviour. A twofold role (subjective and objective) of time was shown in the context of activity theory by Tomaszewski. The twofold role of time is a reflection of a character of a task-oriented situation. Time, being a fundamental objective condition of action, has both autotelic and instrumental values. Human behaviour in a given situation depends on an ability to use the time as a creator of actions as well as a destructive factor, leading to difficult situations. When analyzing behaviour, both instrumental and autotelic characters of time should be taken into account.
The system of counteracting and combating terrorist financing in Poland in view of the existing threats
Authors: Żyła Edyta
Published: April 2018

The article includes issues related to counteracting and combating terrorist financing in Poland in the context of existing threats. The regulations in force on the international level, and provisions governing these issues in the Polish legal system are both discussed. Based on data from the General Inspector of Financial Information (Generalny Inspektor Informacji Finansowej), the Ministry of Justice and National Prosecutors’ current efforts to combat the practice of the terrorist financing in Poland are summarised. The article shows the potential hazards for terrorist organisations, who use gaps in the Polish system to make attempts to transfer money for criminal practices. One aim of the publication is to attempt to answer the question whether Poland, to a sufficient degree, is prepared for combatting terrorist financing and whether it is able to do it effectively, taking into consideration the scale and character of existing threats.
Procrastination – why do we still know too little
Authors: Dryll Ewa
Published: April 2018

The aim of the current literature review is to turn the readers’ attention to the methods and tools used when
studying procrastination. Procrastination, which is a chronic postponing of our duties, is usually studied with tools such as
questionnaires filled by the participants or other tools using closed-end questions. The participants, therefore, cannot openly
describe why they procrastinate. Giving them such an opportunity could significantly improve our understanding of the
causes and conditions of procrastination as well as ways of justifying it. In our culture, postpoing one’s duties is usually connected with serious consequences – participants admit a deep feeling of shame, anxiety, powerlessness and hopelessness.
They declare, that despite own motivation they repeat old, irrational behavioral patterns. Taking into account the scale
of this phenomenon (75–90% of students admit to procrastination), the issue of an in-depth understanding of its mechanisms
seems vital. The text also postulates a follow-up of the previous methods with qualitative analysis.
Parental burnout and temporal perspective

Authors: Kossewska Joanna , Wojciechowska Agata
Published: April 2018

The aim of the studies presented in this article was to determine the extent of a burnout of parents with children with developmental disorders and the analysis of the relationship between burnout syndrome and temporal perspectives pattern.
The theoretical basis of the project was a theory by Philip Zimbardo, which suggests that temporal perspectives (past,
present, and future) influence cognite processes and well as emotional (positive or negative) attitudes towards events and life
experiences. They also regulate an optimal human functioning. The studies revealed that both increase in parental burnout
syndrome as well as temporal perspective profile and relationships between those are different, depending on the type of children’s disorders.

Published: April 2018

O presente estudo foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de descrever e analisar como se configura o processo de inclusão no trabalho de pessoas com deficiência em uma instituição de ensino superior privada da cidade de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Metodologicamente, desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa descritiva à luz de uma abordagem qualitativa, baseada em um estudo de caso de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior privada. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com nove funcionários com deficiência e oito gestores da instituição, e foram analisados a partir da análise de conteúdo temática. Entre os principais resultados encontrados, destaca-se um notável alinhamento do discurso dos gestores da organização com os princípios da inclusão, da ética, da moralidade e da equidade, característicos da responsabilidade social empresarial. Contudo, em termos práticos, identificou-se considerável distanciamento entre o processo de inclusão realizado pela instituição e tais princípios.
NAFTA: comprovação das proposições marxistas sobre o livre-comércio
Authors: Serrano Ferreira Carlos
Published: April 2018

O artigo aborda temas centrais nos debates nas Relações Internacionais: o livre-comércio e a integração comercial. Em particular, aborda as integrações entre países de níveis dessemelhantes de desenvolvimento. O objetivo geral teórico é apontar a existência de forma distinta de pensar a integração comercial, que transcende a dicotomia entre livre-comércio e autarquia, introduzindo a perspectiva marxista da luta de classes e sua expressão mediada na luta entre nações. Como objetivo prático busca colaborar com os debates sobre a integração latino-americana, vista como uma necessidade. O artigo principia apresentando o pensamento de alguns autores marxistas – incluindo Marx – que contribuíram sobre o tema frente as transformações no modo de produção capitalista internacional e que abordaram as relações entre o centro e a periferia a partir de diferentes pontos, do centro, no caso de Lênin, da periferia, no caso da Teoria Marxista da Dependência. Para testá-las realiza o estudo de caso do NAFTA, comprovando o papel regressivo para o México. O artigo conclui respondendo afirmativamente a pergunta de partida: as proposições marxistas sobre o caráter desestruturador para os países periféricos da integração comercial com os países centrais são corretas?
O desafio à impessoalidade na prosa poética de Jack Kerouac

Published: April 2018

Este é um estudo da prosa poética criada pelo escritor e poeta norte-americano Jack Kerouac, em que o foco está na quebra do paradigma de impessoalidade proposto pela teoria do New Criticism. Observa-se como o discurso literário e o eu apresentados na obra The Subterraneans implicam em uma forma literária de cunho autobiográfico e pessoal, criando uma contraposição aos conceitos de alta arte e poesia sugeridos por correntes críticas hegemônicas. Por fim, nota-se como essa ideia desafiadora contribui para que Jack Kerouac e a Geração Beat sejam reconhecidos no panorama da literatura norte-americana.Palavras-chave: Literatura Norte-Americana.

The Unification Church
Authors: Barker Eileen ,   Academic Publishing
Published: April 2018

The Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity (HSA-UWC), founded in Seoul in 1954 by the Reverend Sun Myung Moon (1920–2012), has been more popularly known as the Unification Church (UC) or ‘the Moonies.’ Following revelations that he reports having received as a young man, Moon devoted his life to preaching and eventually publically proclaiming himself to be the Messiah, or Lord of the Second Advent, come to fulfil the mission of restoring God’s Kingdom of Heaven on earth. His early struggles in Korea clearly had a considerable influence on the trajectory of his life and the development of the UC into a world-wide movement that reached into a wide variety of areas, such as anti-communist politics, the media, the arts, the sciences and vast businesses. Following Moon’s death, the movement has split into three separate factions, the largest of which is run by his widow, and the other two by, respectively, his oldest living and youngest sons.
INFLUENCE OF ELECTROLYSIS CONDITIONS ON PARAMETERS OF PROCESS OF ELECTROCHEMICAL POLISHING OF ALLOY STEELS
Authors: Shibaev Boris A. , Belova Valeriya S. , Balmasov Anatoly V.
Published: April 2018

The anodic behavior of structural alloyed steels St25Х3М3НБЦА and St30ХН2МФА in electrolytes of electrochemical polishing based on phosphoric and sulfuric acids with various additives was studied by the potentiodynamic polarization curves on a rotating disc electrode apparatus at different rotational speeds. It was established that the transpasive dissolution of steels begins at a potential more positive than the separation of oxygen, and therefore both processes proceed in parallel. The introduction of an organic additive - triethanolamine into the electrolyte composition results in a 2-fold increase in the area of transpasive dissolution compared to a solution containing chrome anhydride. The influence of processing conditions on the smoothing of the surface microrelief during electrochemical polishing is investigated. It has been established that the intensification of the hydrodynamic regime contributes to a limited growth of microroughness, but the relative smoothing of the microrelief remains insignificant. The process of anodic dissolution of the investigated steels at a moderate temperature does not ensure the achievement of the polishing effect. This is due to the high propensity to study chronology, nickel, molybdenum, vanadium. Increasing the temperature of the solution to 65-70 °C promotes the dissolution of passivation layers, Ra = 0.16 μm when using an electrolyte containing chromic anhydride and 0.08 μm in the case of a solution with triethanolamine. Thus, the addition of an organic additive to the electrolyte provides an improvement in the smoothing efficiency of the surface microrelief and a reduction in the energy input to the process, since the polishing effect is achieved with a lower current density and temperature. In addition, the replacement of chromium anhydride with triethanolamine makes the technology of surface treatment of steels more environmentally safe.Forcitation:Shibaev B.A., Belova V.S., Balmasov A.V.

O Traço Unário articulado ao recalque originário em Jacques Lacan
Authors: Silveira Débora Maria Gomes
Published: April 2018

Considerando os seis gestos propostos por Jacques Lacan, no Seminário XXI (1974), como necessários ao enlaçamento do nó borromeano e tomando os seis movimentos de composição do nó como os tempos de estruturação do sujeito, o presente trabalho busca localizar, nos primórdios da constituição psíquica, a marca decisiva provocada pelo Traço Unário que lança o neonato irremediavelmente no campo simbólico. Neste sentido, o trabalho coteja a possibilidade de articulação entre as elaborações empreendidas por Lacan acerca do Traço Unário, a partir do Ein Einziger Zug de Freud, e o recalque originário, uma vez que o Traço, na medida em que atravessa o ser marcando-o com o simbólico, possibilita a fundação do inconsciente e a consequente divisão intrapsíquica recalcando decisivamente a condição de puro real do ser, possibilitando-o constituir-se como sujeito representado entre significantes. O Traço articulado ao recalque originário é tomado aqui, portanto, como marca presente no primeiro movimento de trançagem do qual o sujeito poderá emergir como um determinado particular.

Published: April 2018

O objetivo dessa investigação foi identificar e analisar as representações sociais de paternidade veiculadas pela revista Pais & Filhos entre 1969 e 2008. Foram selecionados, para a análise, 40 exemplares dessa revista (um exemplar por ano; seleção aleatória do mês). Desse conjunto, foram transcritos todos os 190 itens (reportagens, entrevistas, colunas de especialistas, anúncios publicitários) que apresentavam os vocábulos “pais”, “pai”, “paternidade”, “paternal” e variantes. O corpus formado foi submetido à análise lexical realizada pelo software ALCESTE. Foram identificadas as seguintes classes de formas reduzidas: “nós, as crianças e nossas histórias”, “relacionando-se com crianças e adolescentes”, “terapia”, “as doenças dos bebês” e “pai jurídico”. Em seu conjunto, os resultados indicam que, no corpus analisado, a representação social de paternidade é composta por elementos que concedem ao pai o lugar de coadjuvante ou, mais recorrentemente, o identificam como uma referência problemática (causador de problemas ou como eventual possibilidade de solução).

Authors: Melo Wellington Dias de , Perazzo Priscila Ferreira
Published: April 2018

A produção de televisão expandiu-se no Brasil entre os anos de 1960 e 1970. Os atores e atrizes, que iniciavam nesse meio, depararam-se com a necessidade de criar novos métodos de atuação diante das câmeras. Não havia técnicas ou manuais sobre como atuar para televisão. Procuraram testar práticas de atuação, diferentemente daquelas que faziam em outros meios. Este artigo tem como objetivo identificar, a partir de 19 entrevistas, dadas ao jornalista Jefferson Balbino, publicadas no site No Mundo dos Famosos, as mudanças ocorridas no trabalho de atores e atrizes que atuaram na televisão brasileira. A partir desses relatos, conclui-se que a atuação na TV, em seu início, era empírica e experimental, permitindo que os artistas criassem novas técnicas e contribuíssem para a redação de manuais de atuação, constituindo-se um processo de inovação na comunicação.

Observado ao longo de tantas décadas, traduzido sobre diferentes materialidades, ora como cartaz lambe-lambe, ora como outdoor ou mídia exterior, a pesquisa procura demonstrar como o cartaz de rua não somente empregou visualidade temporal à cidade do Rio de Janeiro, como, principalmente, espelhou costumes, promoveu diálogos e diversificou a linguagem urbana de comunicação.
A CONSTITUIÇÃO DA INFÂNCIA NA SOCIEDADE MIDIÁTICA: notas para compreensão de outro universo infantil
Authors: Pontes Aldo
Published: April 2018

Um ponto pacífico nos estudos sociológicos sobre a infância é que muito diferente do que comumente se costuma pensar, a infância, ou o sentimento de infância como entendemos hoje, é muito mais do que apenas uma fase na vida dos indivíduos. Concebida a partir de uma perspectiva histórico-cultural, essa se constitui como sendo uma invenção, uma criação do homem influenciado por forças políticas, sociais, econômicas e culturais. Dessa forma, à medida que a sociedade sofre mudanças mais amplas, a idéia de infância também estará sujeita a transformações. A ação da Indústria Cultural na constituição da infância torna-se ainda mais fácil em uma sociedade cada vez mais violenta, em que as brincadeiras comuns da infância, profundamente marcadas pelo lúdico, pela troca, pela socialização, pela criação, realizadas em espaços abertos como quintais, parques, praças, etc., saem de cena e dão lugar hoje a uma infância cada vez mais marcada pela eletronização, na qual cada criança, enclausurada em seus quartos individuais, consomem TV, videogame, internet, celular, etc., uma infinidade de ideologias e produtos especificamente criados para elas veiculados pelas mídias. Diante disso, na brevidade deste artigo, refletimos sobre a infância em nossa sociedade, marcada definitivamente pela ação das mídias e da Indústria Cultural.

The economic crisis and future imaginaries: How the economic crisis has affected people’s future imaginaries
Authors: Schönborn Helen Sophia , Doosje Bertjan
Published: April 2018

This study looks at how people construct future imaginaries and how this has been influenced by the economic crisis of 2008/2009. Future imaginaries are conceived as a realm of plans and wishes for the future, which depend not only on an individual’s personal life history, but also on the given social/historical context (Cantó-Milà and Seebach, 2015). The economic crisis, which affected all European countries, has been portrayed as a far-reaching societal event; therefore, it may have an impact on people’s future imaginaries. For this study, life story interviews were conducted in Germany and Spain, two countries with different experiences of the economic crisis. The interviews were analyzed using a grounded theory-inspired approach guided by the concepts of images of the future, figures, and imaginaries of the future developed by Cantó-Milà and Seebach (2015). The economic crisis affected participants’ future imagination in Spain and Germany in different ways. While German participants’ outlook on the future remained unchanged by the crisis, Spanish interviewees’ accounts indicated three changes in mentality: the labor market is now perceived as less stable than before; young people have to be more prepared – meaning they need higher-level qualifications; younger Spaniards aim to live and work in foreign countries. The reasons and dynamics behind this mentality change are discussed.

By adopting a technopolitical and situated approach, in this paper, we explore the case of the 15M movement three years after its formation in May 2011. Through an online survey and a nonprobabilistic sampling procedure, we pay special attention to the perceptions and opinions of the movement’s participants. We distinguish seven thematic sections: the relationship with the movement, previous political participation and motivations, the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs), the emotions experienced, the evolution of the movement, its influence on elections, and the impacts on several aspects of social life. The results show that the respondents (N=1320) are to a large extent adherent to the movement and largely prompted into action due to political issues. Also, they mostly believe that the movement remains alive yet in new forms, and perceived impacts on different areas, institutions, behaviours, and ideas. We conclude by describing 15M as a case that adequately fits the concept of a networked social movement. Finally, we suggest future steps in the understanding of these movements by further applying the online survey designed for this study and complementing analyses via other research methods.

Despite its theoretical relationship, the effect of body size on the performance of species distribution models (SDM) has only been assessed in a few studies of terrestrial taxa. We aim to assess the effect of body size on the performance of SDM in river fish. We study seven Chilean freshwater fish, using models trained with three different sets of predictor variables: ecological (Eco), anthropogenic (Antr) and both (Eco+Antr). Our results indicate that the performance of the Eco+Antr models improves with fish size. These results highlight the importance of two novel predictive layers: the source of river flow and the overproduction of biotopes by anthropogenic activities. We compare our work with previous studies that modeled river fish, and observe a similar relationship in most cases. We discuss the current challenges of the modeling of riverine species, and how our work helps suggest possible solutions.

The family Toxoderidae (Mantodea) contains an ecologically diverse group of praying mantis species that have in common greatly elongated bodies. In this study, we sequenced and compared the complete mitochondrial genomes of two Toxoderidae species, Paratoxodera polyacantha and Toxodera hauseri, and compared their mitochondrial genome characteristics with another member of the Toxoderidae, Stenotoxodera porioni (KY689118). The lengths of the mitogenomes of T. hauseri and P. polyacantha were 15,616 bp and 15,999 bp, respectively, which is similar to that of S. porioni (15,846 bp). The size of each gene as well as the A+T-rich region and the A+T content of the whole genome were also very similar among the three species as were the protein-coding genes, the A+T content and the codon usages. The mitogenome of T. hauseri had the typical 22 tRNAs, whereas that of P. polyacantha had 26 tRNAs including an extra two copies of trnA-trnR. Intergenic regions of 67 bp and 76 bp were found in T. hauseri and P. polyacantha, respectively, between COX2 and trnK; these can be explained as residues of a tandem duplication/random loss of trnK and trnD. This non-coding region may be synapomorphic for Toxoderidae. In BI and ML analyses, the monophyly of Toxoderidae was supported and P. polyacantha was the sister clade to T. hauseri and S. porioni.
La función apelativa del marcador discursivo venga en Twitter
Authors:   Universidad de Córdoba (España), López Quero Salvador
Published: April 2018

El marcador conversacional venga se usa en Twitter en intervenciones no reactivas para transmitir ánimo o introducir una petición, y en intervenciones reactivas para expresar desacuerdo, valores derivados de su uso imperativo originario. Mayoritariamente, venga ocupa la posición inicial del enunciado y se usa, sobre todo, para transmitir ánimo en enunciados cargados de cortesía positiva. Este marcador, por tanto, potencia las relaciones sociales. La fuerza pragmática del acto ilocutivo depende del valor más o menos efectivo de los intensificadores que en cada situación comunicativa acompañen al marcador: el vocativo implicativo y determinadas expresiones imperativas son los principales intensificadores de la función apelativa. Sin embargo, en los enunciados irónicos se aminora la función apelativa. Otros marcadores discursivos en coocurrencia con venga —vamos, va, anda y pues— intensifican sobre todo el ánimo (Venga, vamos / Vamos, venga), la petición (Venga va / Pues venga) o el desacuerdo (Venga, anda / Anda, venga).
Herencias e innovaciones en el léxico matemático español peninsular del siglo XIX
Authors:   Universidad de Murcia (España), Sánchez Martín Francisco Javier
Published: April 2018

El objetivo de nuestro trabajo es dar cuenta del estado que presenta el léxico matemático en el siglo XIX. Sin duda, una de las vías de aproximación posible para el análisis diacrónico la constituye el recurso al diccionario. Otra vía es la consulta de las fuentes que sirvieron de vehículo para la expresión científica, como las obras lexicológica y lexicográfica de Felipe Picatoste, con las que este matemático intentó advertir el abandono al que estaban sometidos los tecnicismos matemáticos. En definitiva, se avanza en el estudio histórico del léxico español en su perspectiva científica.

Las historias generadas por alumnado con Trastorno Específico del Lenguaje (TEL) presentan un número significativamente menor de relaciones cohesivas. Esto da como resultado narraciones no unificadas, que pueden originar incluso ciertas rupturas en la comprensión por parte del oyente. El objetivo que se ha planteado en el presente estudio ha sido determinar y comparar el rendimiento en los mecanismos de cohesión en las narraciones de alumnado con TEL y de dos grupos de escolares con desarrollo normal del lenguaje. Los resultados confirman un peor uso de los mecanismos de cohesión en el grupo con TEL.

Na perspectiva da educação inclusiva a educação especial caracteriza-se como uma modalidade de ensino transversal a todos os níveis, etapas e modalidades. O objetivo do presente artigo é contextualizar a educação especial e o atendimento educacional especializado aos alunos que apresentam altas habilidades/superdotação, bem como na implementação de políticas institucionais do Instituto Federal Catarinense para garantir um sistema educacional inclusivo a esses estudantes. Serão abordados conceitos pertinentes a esta temática, dentre as quais se destacam: desenvolvimento humano, aprendizagem, identificação e contribuições da neurociência para educação, além de legislações específicas relativas a educação especial. Para assegurar educação inclusiva aos alunos com altas habilidades/superdotação são necessários percursos sistematizados de identificação e de intervenções nos processos de ensino aprendizagem, adequados as singularidades apresentadas por esses indivíduos; ações que requerem atuação e envolvimento de equipe interdisciplinar e trabalho contínuo entre os profissionais da instituição.
Next‐generation lineage discovery: A case study of tuberous Claytonia L.

Premise of the Study

Species formation is an intuitive endpoint of reproductive isolation, but circumscribing taxa that arise during speciation can be difficult because of gene flow, morphological continuity, hybridization or polyploidization, and low sequence variation among newly diverged lineages. Nonetheless, species complexes are ubiquitous, and their classification is essential for understanding how diversity influences ecosystem function.

Methods

We used modern sequencing technology to identify lineages of perennial Claytonia L. and assessed correspondence between genetic lineages and morphological/ecological variation. Subsets of 18 taxa from 63 populations were used for (a) lineage discovery using network and coalescent analyses, (b) leaf shape analyses using elliptical Fourier analysis and ordination, and (c) ecological analyses (soil chemistry, climate) using ANOVA and ordination.

Key Results

Samples mainly aggregated into groups representing each of the previously recognized species in each of the genetic data sets. Compared to the double‐digest restriction‐site‐associated DNA sequencing data set, genome skimming data provided more resolution and further opportunity to probe into patterns of nuclear and chloroplast genome diversity. Morphological and ecological associations are significantly different (albeit intergrading) among the taxa investigated. A new species, Claytonia crawfordii, is described based on morphological data presented here.

Conclusions

Genetic data presented in this study provide some of the first insights into phylogenetic relationships among recently diverged perennial Claytonia and are suggestive of past hybridization among caudicose and tuberous species. Given prior difficulties in understanding species boundaries among newly diverged plant lineages, this case study demonstrates the revolutionary breakthrough for systematics research that high throughput sequencing represents.
