Authors:   Energy Sector, Natural Resources Canada
Published: January 2019

Grâce à ce projet, on pourra étudier l'ingénierie préliminaire d'une centrale utilisant la technologie de gazéification intégrée à cycle combiné qui permettrait d'améliorer la qualité de l'air et de
capter les émissions de CO2 en prévision d'un stockage permanent. Si les décisions subséquentes relatives aux investissements et à la construction respectent le plan établi, une centrale de 270 mégawatts (MW) nets utilisant la nouvelle technologie pourrait
être opérationnelle en 2015. Dans le cadre de ce processus, EPCOR a sélectionné Siemens comme fournisseur de la technologie de gazéification. Pour la première fois, la technologie de gazéification de Siemens sera utilisée pour la réalisation d'un projet
de gazéification intégrée à cycle combiné à l'échelle réelle. Au cours des prochaines années, les centrales de gazéification intégrée à cycle combiné pourraient contribuer grandement à l'établissement d'un
approvisionnement énergétique plus fiable qui convienne davantage au climat et à l'environnement.

Published: January 2019

During 1982, 334 earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 or greater occurred in Canada or adjacent areas of the United States and Greenland. These are listed chronologically by region in five tables following the text. Epicentral and magnitude parameters have been
determined for 739 earthquakes smaller than magnitude 3.0 in or near Canada in 1982 and are plotted along with the larger events on seven epicentre maps. All events are catalogued on magnetic tape and are available upon request. The most significant earthquake activity in Canada in 1982 occurred in
the Miramichi region of north-central New Brunswick . The main shock of mb5.7 on 09 January was followed by three aftershocks of magnilude 5 or grealer and, five of magnitude 4. Fifty-nine earthquakes in the Miramichi region had magnitudes of 3 or greater. This aftershock sequence has continued at
reducing rates into 1985. Elsewhere in Canada, seismic activity was restricted primarily to previously recognized zones. In western Canada, the largest event was Ms5.7 in the active zone west of Vancouver Island. The largest event on land in the western region was ML4.2 on the Queen Charlotte
Islands. Three earthquakes occurred in Saskatchewan, two of which are believed to have been induced by potash mining. Swarm activity continued in the area of the B.C.-Alaska border east of Juneau. Nine earthquakes of magnitude 4.0 or greater occurred in northern Canada, the two largest, mb4.6, in
Baffin Bay and on northern Baffin Island . An mN4.3 event in western Québec east of Témiscaming was the largest earthquake in this region since the 1935, magnitude 6.2, Témiscaming earthquake. A total of 39 earthquakes were reported felt in Canada, including 7 with magnitude less than
3.0. None was large enough ta cause structural damage.
A comparative study of treatment outcome in younger and older patients with locally advanced oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers treated by chemoradiation
Authors: Biswas Rituparna , Halder Anirban , Ghosh Anshuman , Ghosh Sajal Kumar
Published: January 2019

Background: Evidence suggests that older patients with oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers may behave differently from their younger peers. Aim: The aim of this study is to determine if there is difference in responses, survival, and toxicities between young patients (≤40 years of age) with oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers and older patients (>40 years of age) treated with concurrent chemoradiation. Materials and Methods: Sixty-one patients with unresectable, locally advanced oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers received concomitant chemoradiation to a dose of 70 Gray in 35 fractions over 7 weeks with concomitant weekly cisplatin (40 mg/m2). These patients were then distributed in two arms. Arm-A patients having age ≤40 years and Arm-B patients having age >40 years, and the two arms were assessed for treatment outcome. Results: The overall response rate (complete responders + partial responders) evaluated using response evaluation criteria in solid tumors criteria version 1.1 was equivalent in both groups (80.76% in Arm-A and 74.28% in Arm-B; P = 0.93). Older patients (>40 years) experienced more acute mucositis and xerostomia (P < 0.5); although not statistically significant, more acute skin and pharynx toxicities were also observed in this group. Higher late salivary gland toxicity (P < 0.5) was also seen in older patients; however, disease-free survival and progression-free survival were found to be similar in both groups. Conclusions: Older patients with locally advanced oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers have similar response rates and survival as compared to their younger counterparts but may experience higher treatment-related toxicities.
The philosophy of affirmative action as a constraint to gender equality: an introduction to Ukém philosophy
Authors: Attoe Aribiah David
Published: January 2019

In this paper, I attempt to show in clear terms what I believe to be the inconsistencies inherent in adopting affirmative action as a proper philosophy for remedying the gender imbalance in contemporary African societies. I have also gestured towards the fact that apart from the issues involved in adopting affirmative action as a principle, the concept quite ironically further widens the gap it is meant to seal. In the spirit of the conversational tradition of African philosophy, I excavate and interrogate a theory of equality that speaks to an indigenous Efik concept of equality. Thus, as a conversational response to the inadequacies of Affirmative Action, I have in this paper adopted ukém philosophy along with its principles of ówó and ikíkè, as an alternative model or tool for combating the ills of gender inequality.Keywords: Affirmative Action, African Philosophy, Discrimination, Gender, Ikíkè, Ukém
The question of African communalism and the antithesis of democracy
Authors: Negedu Isaiah A. , Ojomah Solomon O.
Published: January 2019

In this paper, we argue that communalism is not uniquely African. It comes in different forms of social and psychological thinking which can be found in any culture and society whether capitalistic or socialistic where the notion of social belongingness through reasoned reflection transcends the desire for personal gratification. We claim that some values of communalism such as altruism, mutual cooperation, complementarity etc., can be useful in shaping a viable system of democracy for Africa, not because communalism is unique to Africa, but because it is not. We contend that part of the challenges of democratic practice in Africa is the inclination to extreme form of individualism embedded in its capitalist roots. We show that the structure of democracy can evolve to adapt to changes mediated by communal values. Using the methods of hermeneutics and conversational thinking, we will argue that democratic practice in Africa can profit from communalism and should be restructured to admit relevant communal values.Keywords: African, Communalism, African Communalism, Democracy, Communalistic Democracy

Contrastes da cobertura jornalística audiovisual da greve geral de 28 de abril no Brasil pelos media tradicional e alternativo
Authors: Fernandes Kamila Bossato
Published: January 2019

A cobertura jornalística de protestos populares tende a enfatizar aspetos negativos do evento, como demonstra o paradigma do protesto. Por sua vez, a fragmentação do ecossistema midiático tem feito com que outras narrativas disputem as representações acerca deste tipo de acontecimento. Foi o que aconteceu na greve geral realizada no Brasil no dia 28 de abril de 2017. Neste estudo, proponho uma análise multimodal de reportagens produzidas por dois dos principais telejornais brasileiros e quatro meios alternativos online. O objetivo é perceber as estratégias discursivas empregadas por cada um deles para construir narrativas jornalísticas audiovisuais. Entre as conclusões, nota-se que os meios tradicionais buscaram realçar sua legitimidade a partir das vozes de pessoas comuns, enquanto os meios alternativos fortaleceram fontes contra-oficiais, sobretudo sindicalistas.
Crítica de cobertura jornalística em um periódico científico espanhol e um periódico brasileiro
Authors: Silva Gislene
Published: January 2019

Este artigo se insere no projeto de pesquisa "Contribuições teóricas e técnicas para uma crítica cultural das notícias". Como sequência da investigação realizada na Espanha, em 2016, esta etapa procura comparar graus e procedimentos de crítica de cobertura jornalística que aparecem em dois periódicos científicos especializados em jornalismo: Estudios Sobre el Mensaje Periodística (ESMP) da Universidad Complutense de Madrid e Estudos em Jornalismo e Mídia (EJM), publicado pelo Programa de Pós-Graduação em Jornalismo da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Florianópolis, Brasil. Com base nesse objeto empírico, circunscrito em cinco anos de cada publicação, de 2011 a 2015, foram selecionados artigos que analisam o tratamento jornalístico em diferentes coberturas, com especial atenção para as seguintes variáveis: tópicos de notícias; tipo de mídia; anos das coberturas em questão; gêneros jornalísticos dos materiais analisados; métodos de análise adotados; perspectivas ou enfoques; e o grau de criticidade. O objetivo geral é teorizar sobre "como criticam os que criticam" e sistematizar algumas formas de apreciação de diferentes objetos da mídia, em particular a mídia noticiosa. Entre as conclusões, é possível dizer que os autores dos artigos criticam as coberturas jornalísticas pelos enquadramentos adotados em sua ação de formação da opinião pública, não trabalhando contra preconceitos, estereótipos, discriminações e desigualdades sociais, mas sim para a manutenção do status quo; e também criticam as coberturas por suas omissões contra o poder hegemônico.
Comparison of surface ozone simulation among selected regional models in MICS-Asia III – effects of chemistry and vertical transport for the causes of difference
Authors: Akimoto Hajime , Nagashima Tatsuya , Li Jie , Fu Joshua S. , Ji Dongsheng , Tan Jiani , Wang Zifa
Published: January 2019

Abstract. In order to clarify the causes of variability among the model outputs for
surface ozone in the Model Intercomparison Study Asia Phase III (MICS-Asia III),
three regional models, CMAQ v.5.0.2, CMAQ v.4.7.1, and NAQPMS
(abbreviated as NAQM in this paper), have been selected. Detailed analyses of
monthly averaged diurnal variation have been performed for selected grids
covering the metropolitan areas of Beijing and Tokyo and at a remote oceanic
site, Oki. The chemical reaction mechanism, SAPRC99, used in the CMAQ models
tended to give a higher net chemical ozone production than CBM-Z used in
NAQM, agreeing with previous studies. Inclusion of the heterogeneous
“renoxification” reaction of HNO3 (on soot surface)→NO+NO2
only in NAQM would give a higher NO concentration resulting in a
better agreement with observational data for NO and nighttime O3 mixing
ratios. In addition to chemical processes, the difference in the vertical
transport of O3 was found to affect the simulated results significantly.
Particularly, the increase in downward O3 flux from the upper layer to
the surface after dawn was found to be substantially different among the
models. Larger early morning vertical transport of O3 simulated by CMAQ 5.0.2
is thought to be the reason for higher daytime O3 in July in this
model. All three models overestimated the daytime ozone by ca. 20 ppbv at
the remote site Oki in July, where in situ photochemical activity is minimal.
The sensitivity of the colour of dust in MSG-SEVIRI Desert Dust infrared composite imagery to surface and atmospheric conditions
Authors: Banks Jamie R. , Hünerbein Anja , Heinold Bernd , Brindley Helen E. , Deneke Hartwig , Schepanski Kerstin
Published: January 2019

Abstract. Infrared Desert Dust composite imagery taken by the Spinning Enhanced Visible and InfraRed Imager (SEVIRI), onboard the Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) series of satellites above the equatorial East Atlantic, has been widely used for more than a decade to identify and track the presence of dust storms from and over the Sahara Desert, the Middle East, and southern Africa. Dust is characterised by distinctive pink colours in the Desert Dust false-colour imagery, however the precise colour is influenced by numerous environmental properties, such as the surface thermal emissivity and skin temperature, the atmospheric water vapour content, and the quantity and height of dust in the atmosphere. This paper is the follow-up to Banks et al. (2018), which analysed the sensitivity of the colour of the dust in the imagery to its infrared optical properties. The previous paper introduced a modelling system combining dust concentrations simulated by the aerosol transport model COSMO-MUSCAT (COSMO: COnsortium for Small-scale MOdelling; MUSCAT: MUltiScale Chemistry Aerosol Transport Model) with radiative transfer simulations from the RTTOV (Radiative Transfer for TOVS) model, in order to simulate the SEVIRI infrared measurements and imagery. Investigating the sensitivity of the synthetic infrared imagery to the environmental properties over a six month summertime period from 2011 to 2013, it is confirmed that water vapour is a major control on the apparent colour of dust, obscuring its presence when the moisture content is high. Of the three SEVIRI channels used in the imagery (8.7, 10.8, and 12.0 μm), the channel at 10.8 μm has the highest atmospheric transmittance and is therefore the most sensitive to the surface skin temperature. A direct consequence of this sensitivity is that the background desert surface exhibits a strong diurnal cycle in colour, with light blue colours possible during the day and purple hues prevalent at night. In dusty scenes, the clearest pink colours arise from high-altitude dust in dry atmospheres. Elevated dust influences the dust colour primarily by reducing the contrast in atmospheric transmittance above the dust layer between the SEVIRI channels at 10.8 and 12.0 μm, thereby boosting red and pink colours in the imagery. Hence the higher the dust altitude, the higher the threshold column moisture needed for dust to be obscured in the imagery: for a sample of dust simulated to have an AOD at 550 nm of 2–3 at an altitude of 3–4 km, the characteristic colour of the dust may only be impaired when the total column water vapour is particularly moist (⪆ 39 mm). Meanwhile dust close to the surface (altitude
Methods for identifying aged ship plumes and estimating contribution
to aerosol exposure downwind of shipping lanes
Authors: Ausmeel Stina , Eriksson Axel , Ahlberg Erik , Kristensson Adam
Published: January 2019

Abstract. Ship traffic is a major source of aerosol particles, particularly near shipping lanes and harbours. In order to estimate the contribution to exposure downwind of a shipping lane, it is important to be able to measure the ship emission contribution at various distances from the source. We report on measurements of atmospheric particles, 7–20 km downwind of a shipping lane in the Baltic Sea Sulphur Emission Control Area (SECA) at a coastal location in southern Sweden during a winter and a summer campaign. Each ship plume was linked to individual ship passages using a novel method based on wind field data and Automatic ship Identification System data (AIS), where varying wind speeds and directions were applied to calculate a plume trajectory. In a situation where AIS data is not matching measured plumes well or if AIS data is missing, we provide an alternative method with particle number concentration data. The shipping lane contribution to the particle number concentration in Falsterbo was estimated by subtracting background concentrations from the ship plume concentrations, and more than 150 plumes were analysed. We have also extrapolated the contribution to seasonal averages and provide recommendations for future similar measurements. Averaged over a season, the contribution to particle number concentration was about 18 % during the winter and 10 % during the summer, including those periods with wind directions when the shipping lane was not affecting the station. The corresponding contribution to equivalent black carbon was 1.4 %.
Is there evidence for a 4.2 ka BP event in the northern North Atlantic region?
Authors: Bradley Raymond , Bakke Jostein
Published: January 2019

Abstract. We review paleoceanographic and paleoclimatic records from the northern North Atlantic to assess the nature of climatic conditions at 4.2 ka BP, which has been identified as a time of exceptional climatic anomalies in many parts of the world. The northern North Atlantic region experienced relatively warm conditions in the early Holocene (6–8 ka BP) followed by a general decline in temperatures after ~ 5 ka BP, which led to the onset of Neoglaciation. Although a few records do show a distinct anomaly around 4.2 ka BP (associated with a glacial advance), this is not widespread and we interpret it as a local manifestation of the overall climatic deterioration that characterizes the late Holocene.
Toward modular in situ visualization in Earth system models: the regional modeling system RegESM 1.1
Authors: Turuncoglu Ufuk Utku
Published: January 2019

Abstract. The data volume produced by regional and global multicomponent Earth system
models is rapidly increasing because of the improved spatial and temporal
resolution of the model components and the sophistication of the numerical
models regarding represented physical processes and their complex non-linear
interactions. In particular, very small time steps need to be defined in
non-hydrostatic high-resolution modeling applications to represent the
evolution of the fast-moving processes such as turbulence, extratropical
cyclones, convective lines, jet streams, internal waves, vertical turbulent
mixing and surface gravity waves. Consequently, the employed small time steps
cause extra computation and disk input–output overhead in the modeling system
even if today's most powerful high-performance computing and data storage
systems are considered. Analysis of the high volume of data from multiple
Earth system model components at different temporal and spatial resolutions
also poses a challenging problem to efficiently perform integrated data
analysis of the massive amounts of data when relying on the traditional
postprocessing methods today. This study mainly aims to explore the
feasibility and added value of integrating existing in situ visualization and
data analysis methods within the model coupling framework. The objective is
to increase interoperability between Earth system multicomponent code and
data-processing systems by providing an easy-to-use, efficient, generic and
standardized modeling environment. The new data analysis approach enables
simultaneous analysis of the vast amount of data produced by multicomponent
regional Earth system models during the runtime. The presented methodology
also aims to create an integrated modeling environment for analyzing
fast-moving processes and their evolution both in time and space to support a
better understanding of the underplaying physical mechanisms. The
state-of-the-art approach can also be employed to solve common problems in the
model development cycle, e.g., designing a new subgrid-scale parameterization
that requires inspecting the integrated model behavior at a higher temporal
and spatial scale simultaneously and supporting visual debugging of the
multicomponent modeling systems, which usually are not facilitated by
existing model coupling libraries and modeling systems.
Independent perturbations for physics parametrization tendencies in a convection-permitting ensemble (pSPPT)
Authors: Wastl Clemens , Wang Yong , Atencia Aitor , Wittmann Christoph
Published: January 2019

Abstract. A modification of the widely used SPPT (Stochastically
Perturbed Parametrisation Tendencies) scheme is proposed and tested in a
Convection-permitting – Limited Area Ensemble Forecasting system (C-LAEF) developed at
ZAMG (Zentralanstalt für Meteorologie und Geodynamik). The tendencies from four
physical parametrization schemes are perturbed: radiation, shallow convection,
turbulence, and microphysics. Whereas in SPPT the total model tendencies are perturbed,
in the present approach (pSPPT hereinafter) the partial tendencies of the physics
parametrization schemes are sequentially perturbed. Thus, in pSPPT an interaction between
the uncertainties of the different physics parametrization schemes is sustained and a
more physically consistent relationship between the processes is kept. Two configurations
of pSPPT are evaluated over two separate months (one in summer and another in winter).
Both schemes increase the stability of the model and lead to statistically significant
improvements in the probabilistic performance compared to a reference run without
stochastic physics. An evaluation of selected test cases shows that the positive effect
of stochastic physics is much more pronounced on days with high convective activity.
Small discrepancies in the humidity analysis can be dedicated to the use of a very simple
supersaturation adjustment. This and other adjustments are discussed to provide some
suggestions for future investigations.
Assessing the response of groundwater quantity and travel time
distribution to 1.5, 2 and 3 degrees global warming in a mesoscale
central German basin

Published: January 2019

Abstract. Groundwater is the biggest single source of high-quality fresh water worldwide, which is also continuously threatened by the changing climate. This paper is designed to investigate the response of regional groundwater system to the climate change under three global warming levels (1.5, 2, and 3 °C) in a central German basin (Nägelstedt). This investigation is conducted by deploying an integrated modeling workflow that consists of a mesoscale Hydrologic Model (mHM) and a fully-distributed groundwater model OpenGeoSys (OGS). mHM is forced by five general circulation models under three representative concentration pathways. The diffuse recharges estimated by mHM are used as outer forcings of the OGS groundwater model to compute changes in groundwater levels and travel time distributions. Simulation results indicate that under future climate scenarios, groundwater recharges and levels are expected to increase slightly. Meanwhile, the mean travel time is expected to decrease compared to the historical average. However, the ensemble simulations do not all agree on the sign of relative change. The ensemble simulations do not show a systematic relationship between the predicted change and the warming level, but they indicate an increased variability in predicted changes with the enhanced warming level from 1.5 to 3 °C. This study indicates that a higher warming level may introduce more uncertain and extreme events for the studied regional groundwater system.
Stochastic reconstruction of spatio-temporal rainfall patterns by inverse hydrologic modelling
Authors: Grundmann Jens , Hörning Sebastian , Bárdossy András
Published: January 2019

Abstract. Knowledge of
spatio-temporal rainfall patterns is required as input for distributed
hydrologic models used for tasks such as flood runoff estimation and
modelling. Normally, these patterns are generated from point observations on
the ground using spatial interpolation methods. However, such methods fail in
reproducing the true spatio-temporal rainfall pattern, especially in data-scarce regions with poorly gauged catchments, or for highly dynamic,
small-scale rainstorms which are not well recorded by existing monitoring
networks. Consequently, uncertainties arise in distributed rainfall–runoff
modelling if poorly identified spatio-temporal rainfall patterns are used,
since the amount of rainfall received by a catchment as well as the dynamics
of the runoff generation of flood waves is underestimated. To address this
problem we propose an inverse hydrologic modelling approach for stochastic
reconstruction of spatio-temporal rainfall patterns. The methodology combines
the stochastic random field simulator Random Mixing and a distributed
rainfall–runoff model in a Monte Carlo framework. The simulated
spatio-temporal rainfall patterns are conditioned on point rainfall data from
ground-based monitoring networks and the observed hydrograph at the catchment
outlet and aim to explain measured data at best. Since we infer a three-dimensional input variable from an integral catchment response, several
candidates for spatio-temporal rainfall patterns are feasible and allow for an
analysis of their uncertainty. The methodology is tested on a synthetic
rainfall–runoff event on sub-daily time steps and spatial resolution of
1 km2 for a catchment partly covered by rainfall. A set of plausible
spatio-temporal rainfall patterns can be obtained by applying this inverse
approach. Furthermore, results of a real-world study for a flash flood event
in a mountainous arid region are presented. They underline that knowledge
about the spatio-temporal rainfall pattern is crucial for flash flood
modelling even in small catchments and arid and semiarid environments.

Background: There are limited data in the literature comparing the efficacy of aromatase inhibitors in postmenopausal hormonal receptor positive early breast cancer patients.Aim of study: To compare the efficacy of letrozole and anastrozole in hormone-receptor positive postmenopausal breast cancer patients.Methods: A retrospective study with a mean follow-up period of 64 months (about 5 years) for 74 files of early invasive postmenopausal breast cancer hormonal receptor positive patients; 39 received letrozole and 35 received anastrozole, considering TTP as primary end point, and OS as second end points.Results: Letrozole is not superior to anastrozole during the first 55 months of treatment (80% PFS at 5th year), and 80% OS benefit at 6th year. Overweight patients had better (90% PFS at 5th year) than obese patients (60% PFS at 5th year).Conclusion: Letrozole is not superior to anastrozole in efficacy in early invasive hormonal receptor positive breast cancer postmenopausal patients during the first 5 years of treatment; however, Letrozole 2nd line after tamoxifen is superior to anastrozole 2nd line after tamoxifen in treating obese patients with early invasive hormone receptor positive breast cancer.
Treatment of Adhesive Capsulitis of the Shoulder
Authors: Redler Lauren H. , Dennis Elizabeth R.
Published: January 2019

Adhesive capsulitis presents clinically as limited, active and passive range of motion caused by the formation of adhesions of the glenohumeral joint capsule. Radiographically, it is thickening of the capsule and rotator interval. The pathology of the disease, and its classification, relates to inflammation and formation of extensive scar tissue. Risk factors include diabetes, hyperthyroidism, and previous cervical spine surgery. Nonsurgical management includes physical therapy, corticosteroid injections, extracorporeal shock wave therapy, calcitonin, ultrasonography-guided hydrodissection, and hyaluronic acid injections. Most patients will see complete resolution of symptoms with nonsurgical management, and there appears to be a role of early corticosteroid injection in shortening the overall duration of symptoms. Surgical intervention, including manipulation under anesthesia, arthroscopic capsular release both limited and circumferential, and the authors' technique are described in this article. Complications include fracture, glenoid and labral injuries, neurapraxia, and rotator cuff pathology. Postoperative care should always include early physical therapy.

La foto de Aylan Kurdi, tras haber naufragado con su familia, despertó la sensibilidad de la opinión pública internacional frente a una crisis europea que venía consolidándose tiempo atrás. El presente trabajo hace un acercamiento al comportamiento e interactividad presentes en Twitter alrededor de la crisis migratoria en Europa. Tomando las cuentas de los principales influenciadores en este tema y analizando sus publicaciones desde el 30 de agosto hasta el 3 de diciembre de 2015, se busca demostrar que la crisis solo generó ruido y fue invisible para la opinión pública. Sin embargo, se hizo visible a través del acontecimiento de la fotografía de Kurdi que luego desencadenó una shitstorm temporal, provocó una rápida anestésica colectiva y devolvió los hechos a su invisibilidad original.
No solo identidad claves del independentismo en Euskadi
Authors: Alkorta Eider , Leonisio Rafael
Published: January 2019

A la luz del procés en Cataluña, han sido muchos los trabajos que han tratado de analizar qué factores explican el independentismo en esa comunidad. En el caso vasco, por el contrario, existe un vacío en la literatura académica que este artículo pretende cubrir. Hasta ahora, han prevalecido los análisis clásicos que consideraban los ejes identitarios/ étnicos como claves para el análisis del movimiento independentista en el País Vasco. En este trabajo, sin embargo, hemos querido ir más allá y analizar la influencia de otros factores de índole más instrumental.

Abarcando el periodo 1995-2016, la principal conclusión que se deriva del análisis es que en el independentismo vasco hay efectivamente un predominio de la explicación identitaria, pero que esta no es exclusiva.

También hemos podido observar la incidencia de factores coyunturales, tanto de índole económica como política.

Humanities at the Crossroads
Authors: Schneider Anna-Dorothea
Published: January 2019

The Chicago critics, a group of academics that gathered around Ronald S. Crane in the early 1930s, tackled questions that are still relevant today: What is more important — humanistic general education or vocational specialisation? How should a university define its function in the context of an industrial, technological and pluralistic democratic society? What kind of knowledge can the humanities contribute to the development of the individual and to society as a whole? While the Chicago critics’ conceptual apparatus is modelled on Aristotle’s Poetics, it is significant that their formal literary analysis appears within the context of a defence of the humanities as (humanistic) disciplines or the (liberal) arts which aim at ethical as well as aesthetic education, thus forming value standards that help individuals to find orientation.

In this paper we draw on the previous presentation in which we introduced the goals and theoretical foundations of the NAKI (National and Cultural Identity) educational programme. The main goal of NAKI was applied research and development whose results would contribute to creating a system of educational programmes focused on education about tangible and intangible cultural heritage including historical dwellings, cultural landscape and archaeological heritage. Using discourse analysis, we present the interpretation of the accounts of the participants of educational programmes which took place in buildings of the National Heritage Institute of the Czech Republic.
The Educational Work of the Slavic Women’s Union in Poland (and Czechoslovakia) during the Interwar Period – Ideas, Postulates, and Selected Examples
Authors: Piwowarczyk Mirosław
Published: January 2019

The beginning of the work of Slavic associations ought to be connected with the idea of Slavic alliance – the idea of Panslavism – which was reborn after World War I. It was argued that Slavic nations needed to be united on equal rights, without the supremacy of any single nation. This cooperation (bringing together, improving relations) was to take place, first of all, in economy (according to the idea of economic unity), and also in politics (political alliance), and culture (the idea of common acquaintance, understanding, promotion of culture) and it was to involve all Slavic nations. What may serve as an example of such cooperation can be the Polish- Czechoslovakian relations, in spite of their political and social difficulties. Throughout the years 1929–1939 associations of Slavic women were established and active in Poland as well as Czechoslovakia. The forms of their work as well as aims and tasks were similar. They would implement similar ideas. Their statutes clearly defined the aims and the forms of work in education; they were: establishing and fostering friendly contacts between Slavic nations, learning about the culture and the life of Slavs, promoting, supporting, and bringing together Slavic nations by all means permitted by law, and improving economic and cultural cooperation in the spirit of Slavonic mutuality. The broad and diverse educational work of the Slavic women’s associations in Poland and Czechoslovakia contributed to the improvement of the good relations and bringing together the two nations.
School Strikes in the Bytom Commune in 1906 and 1920
Authors: Lusek Joanna
Published: January 2019

At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries Upper Silesia was the arena of spectacular social and political movements. An experimental area in this regard was Bytom (Beuthen) along with its commune, where the Polish and German communities would clash and where even the tiniest of animosities were blown up to the scale of diplomatic scandals due to the propaganda. The school strikes in 1906 and 1920 had a significant impact on the awakening and formation of the Polish consciousness in Upper Silesia. The school strikes that took place in Upper Silesia in 1906 were aimed at introducing the teaching of religion in the Polish language. In the Bytom commune the strikes were incidental in character; they did not gain the support of the Polish political elites. As a consequence, no Polish minority schools were created in Bytom before World War 1. The situation changed significantly only during the twentyyear period between the wars. In 1919 a conference of teachers in Bytom gave rise to the Upper Silesian Teachers Association and in 1923 the Polish-Catholic School Association for Opolian Silesia was founded. The main objective of the former was to admonish the authorities about giving equal rights to the Polish language and the right to create Polish schools, while the latter aimed to work out a legal basis for a private and public Polish minority school system, organising courses for teachers as well as materially supporting youth organisations and creating scholarship funds. The authorities not fulfilling the postulates for organising regular classes in Polish became the direct reason for holding a strike in the summer of 1920. The strike also encompassed the Bytom commune with 11.4 thousand participants (34.3%).
O diário de luto de Martim: uma leitura de "A noite da espera", de Milton Hatoum
Authors: Pimentel Davi Andrade
Published: January 2019

Este artigo analisa a perspectiva do luto, enquanto afeto materno perdido, na narrativa A noite da espera, de Milton Hatoum. Tendo como base a estrutura de diário da narrativa hatouniana, três temas serão trabalhados ao longo deste artigo: o tempo e o esquecimento, a cumplicidade afetiva e corpórea entre mãe e filho, e a tentativa de superar a perda da mãe através da escrita. Em diálogo constante com este artigo, o livro Diário de luto, de Roland Barthes, nos oferece o suporte teórico para esta análise.
Por uma ética dos afetos: "Os anões", de Veronica Stigger
Authors: Alves Wanderlan Da Silva
Published: January 2019

Neste estudo, analisa-se como a escrita experimentalista levada a cabo na configuração de Os anões (2010), de Veronica Stigger, produz um desmascaramento da normalidade cotidiana, seus códigos e normas, ao mesmo tempo em que uma rede de afetos se manifesta como potência crítica relacionada à escritura e à experimentação, capaz de interromper os fluxos regulados da experiência social, apontando, deste modo, para uma ética dos afetos como um imperativo contemporâneo, em sua obra.
"Fotogramas do medo" na literatura portuguesa moderna e contemporânea
Authors: Sasaki Leonardo De Barros
Published: January 2019

O presente artigo pretende, panoramicamente, destacar nomes basilares da literatura portuguesa moderna e contemporânea pela perspectiva do medo. Em um primeiro momento, apresentam-se as justificativas do foco na emoção, como tema e como elemento inerente da criação. A seguir, discutem-se os limites e dificuldades dessa abordagem. Por fim, a partir de nomes portugueses - mas não só -, desenvolvemos como o medo integra-se às obras ambivalentemente enquanto causa e efeito do ato de escrita. Ao destacarmos o medo, sobretudo na contemporaneidade, acreditamos encontrar uma proteção do trânsito dos afetos e uma resistência à banalização e/ou mecanização da experiência.

Published: January 2019

O objetivo do presente estudo foi adaptar e testar a validade de constructo e a fidedignidade da “Children’s Figure Rating Scale” para crianças brasileiras. Participaram do estudo 235 crianças, 120 meninos e 115 meninas, com média de idade de 8.8 (±1.1) anos. Além da aplicação da escala, foram realizadas medidas de massa corporal, e estatura para o cálculo do índice de massa corporal. Os dados foram analisados no programa Statistical Package for the Social Sciences® versão 20.0, a partir dos testes, correlação de Spearman, Wilcoxon e o Coeficiente de Correlação Intraclasse, uma vez que os dados não apresentaram distribuição normal de acordo com o teste de Kolmogorov Smirnov. Observou-se uma correlação positiva entre o índice de massa corporal e a imagem real e o primeiro com a discrepância para os meninos (r= 0.42; p= 0.01) e meninas (r= 0.34; p= 0.01). A fidedignidade foi confirmada por meio do coeficiente de correlação intraclasse, apresentando valores acima de 0.70 (p= 0.001) para os dois sexos. Concluí-se que a escala testada demonstrou boas qualidades psicométricas, configurando-se como uma opção viável de avaliação da imagem corporal em crianças brasileiras.
Is boredom an animal welfare concern?
Authors: Meagher RK
Published: January 2019

Boredom, while often casually attributed to non-human animals by both laypeople and scientists, has received little empirical study in this context. It is sometimes dismissed by others as anthropomorphic or a trivial concern in comparison to other welfare problems faced in captivity. Recent work on human boredom, however, has led to evidence that, far from being trivial, it can have serious consequences in the form of risky behaviour and reduced physical as well as mental health, and potentially contributes to social problems. Research on mink, supported by older literature on farm and laboratory animals, suggests that monotonous, stimulus-poor environments can induce an increased motivation for diverse stimuli, consistent with the experience of boredom. This experience is likely to be aversive and may lead to problems such as depression-like states or self-injurious behaviour if not addressed. Boredom should therefore be treated as an important welfare concern. Research is needed to find practical ways of identifying this state and to determine how widespread it is across species and which animals are most at risk. Possible ways of alleviating or avoiding this problem include offering animals in our care a choice in the level of stimulation they experience and opportunities to experience appropriate cognitive challenge.
Complete mitochondrial genomes of five raptors and implications for the phylogenetic relationships between owls and nightjars
Authors: Liu Gang , Zhou Lizhi , Zhao Guanghong
Published: January 2019

The phylogenetic relationships between owls and nightjars are rather complex and controversial. To clarify these relationships, we determined the complete mitochondrial genomes of Glaucidium cuculoides, Otus scops, Glaucidium brodiei, Caprimulgus indicus, and Strix leptogrammica, and estimated phylogenetic trees based on the complete mitochondrial genomes and aligned sequences from closely related species that were obtained in GenBank. The complete mitochondrial genomes were 17392, 17317, 17549, 17536, and 16307 bp in length. All mitochondrial genomes contained 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and a putative control region. All mitochondrial genomes except for that of Strix leptogrammica contained a pseudo-control region. ATG, GTG, and ATA are generally start codons, whereas TAA is the most frequent stop codon. All tRNAs in the new mtDNAs could be folded into canonical cloverleaf secondary structures except for tRNASer (AGY) and tRNALeu (CUN) , which missing the “DHU” arm. The phylogenetic relationships demonstrated that Strigiformes and Caprimulgiformes are independent orders, and Aegothelidae is a family within Caprimulgiformes. The results also revealed that Accipitriformes is an independent order, and Pandionidae and Sagittariidae are independent families. The results also supported that Apodiformes is polyphyletic, and hummingbirds (family Trochilidae) belong to Apodiformes. Piciformes was most distantly related to all other analyzed orders.
The Acinetobacter baumannii Mla system and glycerophospholipid transport to the outer membrane

The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria serves as a selective permeability barrier that allows entry of essential nutrients while excluding toxic compounds, including antibiotics. The OM is asymmetric and contains an outer leaflet of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) or lipooligosaccharides (LOS) and an inner leaflet of glycerophospholipids (GPL). We screened Acinetobacter baumannii transposon mutants and identified a number of mutants with OM defects, including an ABC transporter system homologous to the Mla system in E. coli. We further show that this opportunistic, antibiotic-resistant pathogen uses this multicomponent protein complex and ATP hydrolysis at the inner membrane to promote GPL export to the OM. The broad conservation of the Mla system in Gram-negative bacteria suggests the system may play a conserved role in OM biogenesis. The importance of the Mla system to Acinetobacter baumannii OM integrity and antibiotic sensitivity suggests that its components may serve as new antimicrobial therapeutic targets.
