A Conceptually Simple Modeling Approach for Jason-1 Sea State Bias Correction Based on 3 Parameters Exclusively Derived from Altimetric Information
Authors: Pires Nelson , Fernandes M. , Gommenginger Christine , Scharroo Remko
Published: July 2016

A conceptually simple formulation is proposed for a new empirical sea state bias (SSB) model using information retrieved entirely from altimetric data. Nonparametric regression techniques are used, based on penalized smoothing splines adjusted to each predictor and then combined by a Generalized Additive Model. In addition to the significant wave height (SWH) and wind speed (U10), a mediator parameter designed by the mean wave period derived from radar altimetry, has proven to improve the model performance in explaining some of the SSB variability, especially in swell ocean regions with medium-high SWH and low U10. A collinear analysis of scaled sea level anomalies (SLA) variance differences shows conformity between the proposed model and the established SSB models. The new formulation aims to be a fast, reliable and flexible SSB model, in line with the well-settled SSB corrections, depending exclusively on altimetric information. The suggested method is computationally efficient and capable of generating a stable model with a small training dataset, a useful feature for forthcoming missions.

Published: July 2016

Assessments of forest cover, forest carbon stocks and carbon emissions from deforestation and degradation are increasingly important components of sustainable resource management, for combating biodiversity loss and in climate mitigation policies. Satellite remote sensing provides the only means for mapping global forest cover regularly. However, forest classification with optical data is limited by its insensitivity to three-dimensional canopy structure and cloud cover obscuring many forest regions. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensors are increasingly being used to mitigate these problems, mainly in the L-, C- and X-band domains of the electromagnetic spectrum. S-band has not been systematically studied for this purpose. In anticipation of the British built NovaSAR-S satellite mission, this study evaluates the benefits of polarimetric S-band SAR for forest characterisation. The Michigan Microwave Canopy Scattering (MIMICS-I) radiative transfer model is utilised to understand the scattering mechanisms in forest canopies at S-band. The MIMICS-I model reveals strong S-band backscatter sensitivity to the forest canopy in comparison to soil characteristics across all polarisations and incidence angles. Airborne S-band SAR imagery over the temperate mixed forest of Savernake Forest in southern England is analysed for its information content. Based on the modelling results, S-band HH- and VV-polarisation radar backscatter and the Radar Forest Degradation Index (RFDI) are used in a forest/non-forest Maximum Likelihood classification at a spatial resolution of 6 m (70% overall accuracy, κ = 0.41) and 20 m (63% overall accuracy, κ = 0.27). The conclusion is that S-band SAR such as from NovaSAR-S is likely to be suitable for monitoring forest cover and its changes.
Monitoring Urban Dynamics in the Southeast U.S.A. Using Time-Series DMSP/OLS Nightlight Imagery
Authors: Li Qingting , Lu Linlin , Weng Qihao , Xie Yanhua , Guo Huadong
Published: July 2016

The Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP)’s Operational Line-scan System (OLS) stable nighttime light (NTL) imagery offers a good opportunity for characterizing the extent and dynamics of urban development at the global and regional scales. However, their ability to characterize intra-urban variation is limited due to saturation and blooming of the data values. In this study, we adopted the methods of Mann-Kendall and linear regression to analyze urban dynamics from time series Vegetation Adjusted NTL Urban Index (VANUI) data from 1992 to 2013 in the Southeast United States of America (U.S.A.), which is one of the fastest growing regions in the nation. The newly built urban areas were effectively detected based on the trend analysis. In addition, the VANUI-derived urban areas with an optimal threshold method were found highly consistent with the Landsat-derived National Land Cover Database. The total urbanized areas in large metropolitan areas in southeastern U.S.A. increased from 8524 km2 in 1992 to 14,684 km2 in 2010, accounting for 5% and 9% of the total area, respectively. The results further showed that urban expansion in the region cannot be purely explained by population growth. Our results suggested that the VANUI time series provided an effective method for characterizing the spatiotemporal dynamics of urban extent at the regional scale.
Closed-Loop Lifecycle Management of Service and Product in the Internet of Things: Semantic Framework for Knowledge Integration
Authors: Yoo Min-Jung , Grozel Clément , Kiritsis Dimitris
Published: July 2016

This paper describes our conceptual framework of closed-loop lifecycle information sharing for product-service in the Internet of Things (IoT). The framework is based on the ontology model of product-service and a type of IoT message standard, Open Messaging Interface (O-MI) and Open Data Format (O-DF), which ensures data communication. (1) Background: Based on an existing product lifecycle management (PLM) methodology, we enhanced the ontology model for the purpose of integrating efficiently the product-service ontology model that was newly developed; (2) Methods: The IoT message transfer layer is vertically integrated into a semantic knowledge framework inside which a Semantic Info-Node Agent (SINA) uses the message format as a common protocol of product-service lifecycle data transfer; (3) Results: The product-service ontology model facilitates information retrieval and knowledge extraction during the product lifecycle, while making more information available for the sake of service business creation. The vertical integration of IoT message transfer, encompassing all semantic layers, helps achieve a more flexible and modular approach to knowledge sharing in an IoT environment; (4) Contribution: A semantic data annotation applied to IoT can contribute to enhancing collected data types, which entails a richer knowledge extraction. The ontology-based PLM model enables as well the horizontal integration of heterogeneous PLM data while breaking traditional vertical information silos; (5) Conclusion: The framework was applied to a fictive case study with an electric car service for the purpose of demonstration. For the purpose of demonstrating the feasibility of the approach, the semantic model is implemented in Sesame APIs, which play the role of an Internet-connected Resource Description Framework (RDF) database.
T-L Plane Abstraction-Based Energy-Efficient Real-Time Scheduling for Multi-Core Wireless Sensors
Authors: Kim Youngmin , Lee Ki-Seong , Pham Ngoc-Son , Lee Sun-Ro , Lee Chan-Gun
Published: July 2016

Energy efficiency is considered as a critical requirement for wireless sensor networks. As more wireless sensor nodes are equipped with multi-cores, there are emerging needs for energy-efficient real-time scheduling algorithms. The T-L plane-based scheme is known to be an optimal global scheduling technique for periodic real-time tasks on multi-cores. Unfortunately, there has been a scarcity of studies on extending T-L plane-based scheduling algorithms to exploit energy-saving techniques. In this paper, we propose a new T-L plane-based algorithm enabling energy-efficient real-time scheduling on multi-core sensor nodes with dynamic power management (DPM). Our approach addresses the overhead of processor mode transitions and reduces fragmentations of the idle time, which are inherent in T-L plane-based algorithms. Our experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm compared to other energy-aware scheduling methods on T-L plane abstraction.
How Much CO2 Emissions Can Be Reduced in China’s Heating Industry
Authors: Lin Jing , Lin Boqiang
Published: July 2016

China’s heating industry is a coal-fired industry with serious environmental issues. CO2 emissions from the heating industry accounted for an average 6.1% of China’s carbon emissions during 1985–2010. The potential for reducing emissions in China’s heating industry is evaluated by co-integration analysis and scenario analysis. The results demonstrate that there is a long-run equilibrium relationship among CO2 emissions and the influencing factors, including energy intensity, industrial scale, labor productivity, and energy productivity. Monte Carlo technique is adopted for risk analysis. It is found that the CO2 emissions reduction potential of the heating industry will be 26.7 million tons of coal equivalent (Mtce) in 2020 and 64.8 Mtce in 2025 under the moderate scenario, compared with 50.6 Mtce in 2020 and 122.1 Mtce in 2025 under the advanced scenario. Policy suggestions are provided accordingly.
Tourists’ Environmentally Responsible Behavior in Response to Climate Change and Tourist Experiences in Nature-Based Tourism
Authors: Han Ju , Lee Min , Hwang Yun-Seop
Published: July 2016

Nature-based tourism destinations—locations in which economic viability and environmental responsibility are sought—are sensitive to climate change and its effects on important environmental components of the tourism areas. To meet the dual roles, it is important for destination marketers and resources managers to provide quality experiences for tourists and to induce tourists’ environmentally responsible behavior in such destinations. This study documents the importance of perceptions toward climate change and tourist experiences in determining tourists’ environmentally responsible behavior while enjoying holidays at nature-based tourism destinations in Jeju Island, South Korea. Two hundred and eleven Korean and 204 Chinese tourists marked dominant tourist arrivals to the island, and responded to the survey questionnaire. Results showed that perceptions toward climate change and tourist experiences affect Korean tourists’ environmentally responsible behavior intentions, whereas tourist experiences—not perceptions toward climate change—only significantly affect Chinese tourists’ behavior intention. In a nature-based tourism context under the pressure of climate change and adverse environmental effects as consequences of tourism activities, resources managers and destination marketers need to develop environmental campaigns or informative tourist programs to formulate environmentally responsible behavior as well as to increase tourist quality experiences among domestic and international tourists.

Published: July 2016

Central and South American pitvipers, belonging to the genera Bothrops and Bothriechis, have independently evolved arboreal tendencies. Little is known regarding the composition and activity of their venoms. In order to close this knowledge gap, venom proteomics and toxin activity of species of Bothriechis, and Bothrops (including Bothriopsis) were investigated through established analytical methods. A combination of proteomics and bioactivity techniques was used to demonstrate a similar diversification of venom composition between large and small species within Bothriechis and Bothriopsis. Increasing our understanding of the evolution of complex venom cocktails may facilitate future biodiscoveries.
Cells Deficient in the Fanconi Anemia Protein FANCD2 are Hypersensitive to the Cytotoxicity and DNA Damage Induced by Coffee and Caffeic Acid
Authors: Burgos-Morón Estefanía , Calderón-Montaño José , Orta Manuel , Guillén-Mancina Emilio , Mateos Santiago , López-Lázaro Miguel
Published: July 2016

Epidemiological studies have found a positive association between coffee consumption and a lower risk of cardiovascular disorders, some cancers, diabetes, Parkinson and Alzheimer disease. Coffee consumption, however, has also been linked to an increased risk of developing some types of cancer, including bladder cancer in adults and leukemia in children of mothers who drink coffee during pregnancy. Since cancer is driven by the accumulation of DNA alterations, the ability of the coffee constituent caffeic acid to induce DNA damage in cells may play a role in the carcinogenic potential of this beverage. This carcinogenic potential may be exacerbated in cells with DNA repair defects. People with the genetic disease Fanconi Anemia have DNA repair deficiencies and are predisposed to several cancers, particularly acute myeloid leukemia. Defects in the DNA repair protein Fanconi Anemia D2 (FANCD2) also play an important role in the development of a variety of cancers (e.g., bladder cancer) in people without this genetic disease. This communication shows that cells deficient in FANCD2 are hypersensitive to the cytotoxicity (clonogenic assay) and DNA damage (γ-H2AX and 53BP1 focus assay) induced by caffeic acid and by a commercial lyophilized coffee extract. These data suggest that people with Fanconi Anemia, or healthy people who develop sporadic mutations in FANCD2, may be hypersensitive to the carcinogenic activity of coffee.
Physiologic Doses of Bilirubin Contribute to Tolerance of Islet Transplants by Suppressing the Innate Immune Response
Authors: Adin Christopher A. , Vangundy Zachary C. , Papenfuss Tracey L. , Xu Feng , Ghanem Mostafa , Lakey Jonathan , Hadley Gregg A.
Published: July 2016

Bilirubin has been recognized as a powerful cytoprotectant when used at physiologic doses and was recently shown to have immunomodulatory effects in islet allograft transplantation, conveying donor-specific tolerance in a murine model. We hypothesized that bilirubin, an antioxidant, acts to suppress the innate immune response to islet allografts through two mechanisms: 1) by suppressing graft release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and inflammatory cytokines, and 2) by producing a tolerogenic phenotype in antigen-presenting cells. Bilirubin was administered intraperitoneally before pancreatic procurement or was added to culture media after islet isolation in AJ mice. Islets were exposed to transplant-associated nutrient deprivation and hypoxia. Bilirubin significantly decreased islet cell death after isolation and hypoxic stress. Bilirubin supplementation of islet media also decreased the release of DAMPs (HMGB1), inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-6), and chemokines (MCP-1). Cytoprotection was mediated by the antioxidant effects of bilirubin. Treatment of macrophages with bilirubin induced a regulatory phenotype, with increased expression of PD-L1. Coculture of these macrophages with splenocytes led to expansion of Foxp3+ Tregs. In conclusion, exogenous bilirubin supplementation showed cytoprotective and antioxidant effects in a relevant model of islet isolation and hypoxic stress. Suppression of DAMP release, alterations in cytokine profiles, and tolerogenic effects on macrophages suggest that the use of this natural antioxidant may provide a method of preconditioning to improve outcomes after allograft transplantation.
Synthesis of ferrocenyl-substituted 1,3-dithiolanes via [3 + 2]-cycloadditions of ferrocenyl hetaryl thioketones with thiocarbonylS-methanides
Authors: Mlostoń Grzegorz , Hamera-Fałdyga Róża , Linden Anthony , Heimgartner Heinz
Published: July 2016

Ferrocenyl hetaryl thioketones react smoothly with in situ generated thiocarbonylS-methanides to give 1,3-dithiolanes. In the case of aromaticS-methanides, the sterically more crowded 4,4,5,5-tetrasubstituted 1,3-dithiolanes (2-CH2isomers) were formed as sole products. The reactions with cycloaliphaticS-methanides led to mixtures of 2-CH2and 5-CH2isomers with the major component being the sterically more crowded 2-CH2isomers. The preferred formation of the latter products is explained by the assumption that the formal [3 + 2]-cycloadducts were formed via a stepwise reaction mechanism with a stabilized 1,5-diradical as a key intermediate. The complete change of the reaction mechanism toward the concerted [3 + 2]-cycloaddition was observed in the reaction of a sterically crowded cycloaliphatic thiocarbonyl ylide with ferrocenyl methyl thioketone.

Published: July 2016

The increasing importance of considering environmental issues as a part of the corporate social responsibility, which has environmental and social impacts as well as affects the image and competitiveness of a firm, has encouraged companies to revise their major processes of supply chain management (SCM). Since the performance of a company heavily relies on its suppliers, it is of vital importance to incorporate environmental criteria into supplier selection problem to satisfy both conventional and environmental criteria, which have only been considered by a limited number of studies. Therefore, following a brief review of green supply chain management (GSCM) and sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) concepts and investigation of supplier selection approaches, this study after focuses on a modified Delphi method that has been applied to determine supplier selection criteria. Also, the intuitionistic fuzzy value (IFV) and interval value intuitionistic fuzzy (IVIF) have been utilised for supplier evaluation regarding the subjective nature and uncertainty of judgment. By using the Choquet Integral operator and fuzzy measures, the best supplier has been selected, and the comparison between IFV and IVIF has been made. This methodology has been applied to a manufacturing company to assess the applicability of the proposed methodology. The proposed methodology can be used for real world problems that contain fuzziness or interacting decision criteria. Moreover, due to a high level of expert involvement in the decision-making process, we claimed that the knowledge of experts has been utilised constructively.
AN EXACT SOLUTION FOR THE RESOURCE-CONSTRAINED CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULING PROBLEM
Authors: Sroka Bartłomiej , Radziszewska-Zielina Elżbieta
Published: July 2016

Reduced time and, by the same token, the cost of the project is a crucial factor in contemporary construction. This article presents a method for the exact optimisation of a resource-constrained scheduling problem. Based on the Critical Path Method, graph theory and linear programming, an algorithm was developed and the FROPT program was written in Matlab to minimise the execution time of the task. By using the newly-created program, sample networks were calculated and the results were compared with results obtained by using the MS Project scheduling program (using approximation algorithm). The execution time obtained by using FROPT were on average 10% shorter than those obtained using MS Project. In selected cases the improvement in execution time reached 25%. A deterministic approach to the problem may shorten planned project times and bring financial benefits. Due to the exponential complexity of the algorithm, it is most useful in solving small or highly coherent networks. The algorithm and program may result in benefits not offered by commercial software for planners of building projects.

The purpose of this article is to assess exchange rate forecasting possibilities with an information flow approach model. In the model the three types of information flows are distinguished: fundamental analysis information flow through particular macroeconomic determinants, microstructure approach information flow through dealer clients’ positioning data, technical analysis information flow through technical indicators. By using regression analysis it is shown that the composed model can forecast the exchange rate, the most significant information flows are distinguished. The results lead to further development of the information flow approach as a tool to forecast exchange rate fluctuations.
Pre–Emption Right of Shareholders to Purchase Shares for Sale in Private Limited Liability Companies: The Problematic Legal Remedies
Authors: Bitė Virginijus , Narkevičius Žygimantas
Published: July 2016

This article analyses the problems that can arise when implementing the rights of shareholders in private limited liability companies to purchase the shares of another shareholder being for sale in priority to others and the possible legal remedies for violated rights. According to the practice of the Lithuanian Supreme Court, the rights of the buyer cannot be assigned to a private limited liability company shareholder whose pre-emption right to purchase the shares being for sale has been breached. However, in this article it is being argued that perhaps in certain exceptional cases, in order to create fair business practice and ensure a “tangible” result for the plaintiff in relation to the judgment, the court could (should) take advantage of the freedom to maneuver and, by implementing justice, change the method of restitution (pertaining to the subject) – assign the shares to the plaintiff (an aggrieved shareholder) simultaneously creating an obligation on the same person to settle properly with the last owner of the disputed shares.
The Impact of Employee Empowerment on Employee Satisfaction and Service Quality: Empirical Evidence from Financial Enterprizes in Bangladesh
Authors: Ukil Minhajul Islam
Published: July 2016

Organizations face immense challenges in improving their performance and productivity in the present changing and competitive business world. Experts view employee empowerment as an effective tool that fosters organizational performance, employee satisfaction and service quality. The present study intends to identify the influence of employee empowerment on employee satisfaction and service quality, and the impact of employee satisfaction on service quality. Fourteen dimensions and 52 item statements of employee empowerment, service quality and employee satisfaction have been adopted from previous studies to undertake this study. Data have been gathered following a quantitative survey conducted among a diverse group of employees (N = 240) working in 20 different financial institutions including private banks, leasing and insurance companies in Bangladesh. Several statistical techniques consisting of descriptive analysis, Pearson correlations and regression analysis have been applied using SPSS software to analyze collected data. The results of the statistical analysis reveal that employee satisfaction and service quality significantly depend on employee empowerment, and satisfied employees provide better quality service. The findings of this research have explicit implications for both the employees and the organizations. This study suggests that by empowering employees, an organization can increase the level of employee satisfaction that in consequence upturns service quality.
PLANETESIMAL FORMATION BY GRAVITATIONAL INSTABILITY OF A POROUS DUST DISK
Authors: Michikoshi Shugo , Kokubo Eiichiro
Published: July 2016

It has recently been proposed that porous icy dust aggregates are formed by the pairwise accretion of dust aggregates beyond the snowline. We calculate the equilibrium random velocity of porous dust aggregates, taking into account mutual gravitational scattering, collisions, gas drag, and turbulent stirring and scattering. We find that the disk of porous dust aggregates becomes gravitationally unstable as the aggregates evolve through gravitational compression in the minimum-mass solar nebula model for a reasonable range of turbulence strength, which leads to rapid formation of planetesimals.
CAUGHT IN THE ACT: DIRECT DETECTION OF GALACTIC BARS IN THE BUCKLING PHASE
Authors: Erwin Peter , Debattista Victor P.
Published: July 2016

The majority of massive disk galaxies, including our own, have stellar bars with vertically thick inner region, known as “boxy/peanut-shaped” (B/P) bulges. The most commonly suggested mechanism for the formation of B/P bulges is a violent vertical “buckling” instability in the bar, something that has been seen in N-body simulations for over 20 years, but never identified in real galaxies. Here, we present the first direct observational evidence for ongoing buckling in two nearby galaxies (NGC 3227 and NGC 4569), including characteristic asymmetric isophotes and (in NGC 4569) stellar kinematic asymmetries that match buckling in simulations. This confirms that the buckling instability takes place and produces B/P bulges in real galaxies. A toy model of bar evolution yields a local fraction of buckling bars consistent with observations if the buckling phase lasts ∼0.5–1 Gyr, in agreement with simulations.

Représentation ou répétition ? À propos de la traduction du mot mimèsis dans la Poétique
Authors: Guastini Daniele
Published: July 2016

L’article examine les raisons pour lesquelles, à la différence de la majorité des autres traducteurs, Roselyne Dupont-Roc et Jean Lallot traduisent le mot «  mimèsis  » par « représentation » et non par « imitation ». Indépendamment des aspects techniques qu’ils invoquent, ce choix est sous-tendu par une thèse philosophique forte, qui les incite à renvoyer la conception aristotélicienne de la mimèsis à une idée de créativité. Une telle conception semble toutefois plus redevable aux catégories de l’esthétique kantienne qu’aux catégories de la poétique aristotélicienne.

Aristote et la comédie
Authors: Pennanech Florian
Published: July 2016

On retient couramment l’hypothèse selon laquelle la Poétique d’Aristote comprenait à l’origine une partie consacrée à la tragédie et une autre consacrée à la comédie, et que cette dernière aurait disparu suite aux aléas de la transmission des manuscrits. Le propos de cet article est de faire comme si cette absence de la poétique de la comédie avait un sens. En s’intéressant aux tentatives de reconstitution de la partie manquante de la Poétique , qu’elles soient le fait de la philologie, de la théorie littéraire ou même de la comédie elle-même, il se peut qu’on arrive à lire tout autrement la Poétique d’Aristote.
Comment les Français perçoivent-ils l’égalité des chances ?
Authors: Forsé Michel , Parodi Maxime
Published: July 2016

Les Français croient-ils à l’égalité des chances ? L’enquête Dynegal a posé la question en 2013 à un échantillon représentatif de 4 000 individus et leurs réponses sont très partagées. Ce sont les classes moyennes qui se montrent un peu plus convaincues que les autres par l’idée que l’école donne à chacun sa chance et que la réussite dans la vie ne dépend pas de l’origine sociale. Ce résultat va dans le sens d’une thèse de Simmel faisant de la classe moyenne le lieu de la mobilité sociale. L’enquête permet également de s’interroger sur le lien entre la croyance en l’égalité des chances et les attentes sociales en termes de reconnaissance des mérites et d’égalité des résultats. Comme on pouvait s’y attendre, moins on croit à l’égalité des chances, moins on défend la reconnaissance des mérites, et plus on demande d’égalité des résultats. En revanche, les Français parfaitement convaincus que tout le monde a les mêmes chances de réussir défendent non seulement la reconnaissance des mérites, mais aussi l’égalité des places. Ce résultat inattendu met en lumière, en fait, un risque inhérent à une société pensée comme totalement méritocratique : le risque de déconsidérer absolument les perdants et de ne pas leur trouver de places au sein de la société.
Quelle mesure du coût économique et social du mal-logement ?
Authors: Madec Pierre
Published: July 2016

Des situations les plus extrêmes touchant les publics les plus fragiles (sans abrisme, exclusion sociale, ...) à celles les plus répandues que sont la sur-occupation des logements, les dépenses en logement trop élevées ou encore les difficultés de chauffage, les situations de mal-logement sont multiples et variées. De fait, la qualification et la quantification de l’impact de ces situations sont complexes, d’autant plus que les données statistiques à la disposition du monde scientifique ne permettent pas d’analyser aisément l’ensemble des formes prises par le mal-logement. Une fois recensé l’ensemble des coûts résultant de l’existence de situations de mal-logement, pour la plupart inscrites au titre du programme 177 des lois de finances, mais dont cet article propose d’élargir le dessin, nous tentons de quantifier l’impact des situations de mal-logement sur l’éducation, l’insertion dans l’emploi et la santé. Les résultats montrent l’importance de l’environnement du foyer sur l’ensemble des champs d’étude retenus. En effet, les liens statistiques mis en évidence à travers notamment l’analyse économétrique employée concluent à un impact significatif des principales conditions de logement tant sur la réussite scolaire des élèves que sur la probabilité de retrouver un emploi ou celle de se déclarer en mauvaise santé. La quantification, monétaire ou non, de ces impacts négatifs des conditions de logement, bien que fragile compte tenu des données et de la méthode employée, permet d’apporter un éclairage nouveau sur les conséquences que peuvent avoir les conditions de logement sur les conditions de vie des ménages pris dans leur intégralité et ce à court mais également à moyen/long terme.
Inverted, ’parallel’ accretion of organic material in the cave Setergrotta, Rana, northern Norway: a case study
Authors: Moe Dagfinn , Lauritzen Stein-Erik , Skoglund Rannveig Øvrevik
Published: July 2016

The occurrence of an upside-down parallel accretion of organic gyttja, about 10 cm in thickness is reported from the ceiling of an overflow passage in Setergrotta cave, Mo-i-Rana, northern Norway. The deposition process depended on seasonal flooding, was 14C dated back to c. 6500 cal. BC (7645 ± 115 BP). Two pollen diagrams are presented, one from the accretion and one of a nearby minerogenic cave floor deposit. In the accretion sequence, pollen of spruce (Picea abies) was found only in the youngest parts and corresponds to what is known from vegetation historical studies in the region. No significant signals of neither of known vegetation changes caused by climate nor human impact are found in the parallel accretion, contrary to the floor deposit. One of them indicates a marked deforestation dated to about 790 cal.

Primerjamo tudi pelodna diagrama iz akrecije z diagramom minerogenih sedimentov na jamskih tleh. V zaporedju akrecije smo pelode smreke (Picea abies) našli le v najmlajšem delu, kar ustreza ugotovitvam zgodovinskih študij vegetacije v regiji. V akrecijah nismo našli nobenih pomembnih znakov vegetacijskih sprememb, ki bi jih povzročile klimatske spremembe ali človek. Drugače je v minerogenem sedimentu na jamskih tleh, kjer pelodna analiza kaže na deforestacijo v času 790 cal. BC v zbirnem območju peloda.Ključne besede: Pelodna analiza, 14C datiranje, obrnjene paralelne akrecije.
Dolomite caves within the Seroe Domi Formation on Curacao, Netherland Antilles
Authors: Sumrall Jonathan B , Larson Erik B. , Mylroie John E.
Published: July 2016

Remnant caves formed within the dolomitized Seroe Domi Formation on Curaçao were documented in order to determine their origin. Petrographic thin sections and geochemical analyses of samples from outcrops and cave wall rock agree with previous interpretations of a mixing zone origin for the replacement dolomite. Further, stable isotope analysis suggests migration of fluids from the underlying basalts along fracture networks in the Seroe Domi Formation. Most of the caves represent remnant phreatic caves based on morphology; however, a number of pseudokarst features were identified. Minimum cliff retreat rates were estimated (5 mm/1000 yrs to 52 mm/1000 yrs) using cave morphologies and elevations. These remnant caves, many of which were previously overlooked, have been used as indicators of diagenetic events within the Seroe Domi Formation and contain significant information when placed in the proper geologic framework.Key words: Flank Margin Cave, Dolomitization, Seroe Domi Formation, Curaçao.Jame v dolomitiziranem profilu formacije Seroe Domin na otoku Curaçao, Nizozemski AntiliDokumentirali smo ostanke jam v dolomitizirani formaciji Seroe Domi na otoku Curaçao in raziskovali njihov nastanek. Petrografske analize zbruskov ter geokemiče analize površinskih izdankov in vzorcev jamskih sten, potrjujejo predhodno domnevo o izvoru (replacement) dolomita v območju mešanja slane in sladke vode. Analiza stabilnih izotopov kaže na prenos tekočin iz bazaltne podlage vzdolž mreže razpok v formaciji Seroe Domi. Oblika večine jam kaže, da gre za dele freatičnih sistemov, odkrili pa smo tudi več psevdokraških pojavov. Morfološke značilnosti jam in njihova nadmorska višina sta nam omogočili oceno minimalne hitrosti umikanja otoških klifov, ki je med 5 m in 52 mm na tisoč let. Ostanki jam, ki so bili prej največkrat spregledani, so kazalci diagenetskih dogodkov v formaciji Seroe Domi in vsebujejo druge pomembne informacije, če jih le postavimo v ustrezen geološki okvir.Ključne besede: Jame tipa “flank margin”, dolomitizacija, formacija Seroe Domi, Curaçao.

Authors: Růžička Vlastimil , Mlejnek Roman , Juřičková Lucie , Tajovský Karel , Šmilauer Petr , Zajíček Petr
Published: July 2016

The invertebrates of the Macocha Abyss, Moravian Karst, Czech Republic, were collected in 2007–2008 and 222 species were identified in total. The relative abundance of individual taxa of land snails, harvestmen, pseudoscorpions, spiders, millipedes, centipedes, terrestrial isopods, beetles, and ants was evaluated. The cold-adapted mountain and subterranean species inhabit the bottom and lower part of the abyss, whereas the sun-exposed rocky margins were inhabited by thermophilous species. Macocha harbors several threatened species that are absent or very rare in the surrounding habitats. In the forest landscape, the Macocha Abyss represents a natural habitat with a distinct microclimatic gradient, and is an excellent refuge area for psychrophilous as well as thermophilous species, which significantly contributes to maintenance of landscape biodiversity.Key words: Ants, centipedes, beetles, biodiversity, harvestmen, land snails, light hole, millipedes, pseudoscorpions, terrestrial ispods, spiders.Nevretenčarji brezna Macoha (Moravski kras, Republika Češka)Med vzorčenjem v letih 2007 in 2008 smo v jami Macoha določili 222 vrst nevretenčarjev. Ovrednotili smo relativno pogostost posameznih taksonov polžev, suhih južin, paščipalcev, pajkov, stonog, kopenskih enakonožcev, hroščev in mravelj. Na mraz prilagojene gorske in podzemeljske vrste naseljujejo dno in spodnji del brezna, toploljubne vrste pa naseljujejo kamnite površine soncu izpostavljenega roba. V Macohi je več ogroženih vrst, ki jih sicer v okoliški pokrajini ne najdemo. Kot habitat s specifično mikroklimo je Macoha izjemno zatočišče za vlagoljubne in toploljubne vrste, ki pomembno prispevajo k vzdrževanju biotske raznovrstnosti v pokrajini.Ključne besede: Mravlje, stonoge, hrošči, suhe južine, kopenski polži, stonoge, psevdoškorpijoni, kopenski enakonožci, pajki, biotska raznovrstnost.

The Memoirs of Marguerite de Valois
Authors: Trotot Caroline
Published: July 2016

Les Mémoires sont une entreprise de connaissance de soi-même qui révèlent une anthropologie. Cette vision de l’être dans le temps engage les savoirs philosophiques de Marguerite, sa conception de l’histoire et de la politique. En bonne humaniste, elle met donc les nombreux savoirs qu’elle possède à l’épreuve de l’expérience vécue et de celle de l’écriture, d’une expérience personnelle des savoirs qui prend sens dans la vivacité du discours d’un sujet. L’interaction de ces différents savoirs et leur interaction avec l’écriture fabrique son identité.
“Ignorant and intractable”
Authors: Ostrowiecki Hélène Bah
Published: July 2016

Depicting herself, in the correspondence with Descartes, as an “ignorant and intractable” woman, Elisabeth, Princess of Bohemia, places a high priority on the body — a body that is at once, as a source of ignorance, an obstacle to the philosophical process, and, as a reality that resists theory, an unavoidable challenge to this same process. She thus obliges the philosopher to move from a consideration of the metaphysical ego toward a consideration of the human being who will become the subject of The Passions of the Soul.
Self-Portrait of a Lady as an Absent Latinist
Authors: Soubbotnik Michael A.
Published: July 2016

In The Memoirs of Colonel Hutchinson, Lucy Hutchinson not only built a vibrant vindication of her late beloved husband, but also wrote an impressive account of the English Civil War. The genre demanded that this remarkably talented and knowledgeable woman remain self-effaced behind the man she praised. Here we find her, however, as much self-enhanced as self-effaced in the guise of the great latinist she was, author of the first complete translation of Lucretius in verse.
Jansenist Women Negotiate the Pauline Interdiction
Authors: Jr. Thomas M. Carr
Published: July 2016

Following Saint Paul, women were excluded from public religious roles and expected to eschew theology for affective devotional practices. The article explores the gender bind this placed on Jansenist nuns and laywomen, who felt compelled to declare their stance, by focusing on Marie-Catherine Hecquet. She was pried from a convent and browbeaten into marriage. It compares her to her seventeenth-century models, the Port-Royal nuns in the formulary disputes, and to eighteenth-century nuns who protested against Unigenitus. It examines two kinds of “I” portraits of these women: professions of faith and autobiographical accounts of their persecutions which reveal acute theological learning.
“What Do I Know? Who am I?”
Authors: Seth Catriona
Published: July 2016

In their life-writing, Enlightenment women (un)consciously depict themselves. This article examines different attitudes on the basis of texts by Mary Robinson, Victoire Monnard, Adélaïde de Castellane, Françoise-Radegonde Le Noir, Jeanne-Marie Roland, Suzanne Necker and Charlotte-Nicole Coquebert de Montbret, as well as of painted self-portraits by Rosalba Carriera and Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun.
Fragmented and Oblique Autobiographies and Memoirs
Authors: Plagnol Marie-Emmanuelle
Published: July 2016

Female memoirs play off the complex status of personal testimony. The multifarious works of Mme de Genlis are a fascinating example of the tensions running between didactic texts, memoirs, remembrances, portraits and anecdotes that are there hidden under the surface of these hybrid texts. Above all, they make up a monumental work toward which converge a number of early texts and fragments of various types.
Pessoas mais comprometidas aprendem mais? Survey em uma instituição pública

Ao considerar a aprendizagem organizacional e o comprometimento dos indivíduos como fatores contribuintes para o êxito das organizações públicas e privadas, este estudo buscou compreender melhor a integração desses constructos em uma IES – Instituição de Ensino Superior, para atingir o objetivo geral, que foi analisar a relação entre o comprometimento e a aprendizagem organizacional em uma instituição pública de ensino superior. Realizou-se um survey com uma amostra válida de 116 servidores estatutários de uma IES. Foram aplicados dois questionários de autorrelato: o Organizational Learning Scale (OLS) de Goh e Richard (1997), validado no Brasil por Angelim e Guimarães (2003); e o instrumento de Meyer, Allen e Smith (1993), validado no Brasil por Medeiros e Enders (1998), nos setores administrativos e de apoio da organização. Concluiu-se que, quanto mais comprometidos os colaboradores, maior a percepção de fatores favoráveis à aprendizagem e, consequentemente, maiores as chances de que tais cenários estimulem, de fato, a aprendizagem organizacional. Destaca-se a importância de se investir nos fatores potencializadores da aprendizagem e identificar os componentes do comprometimento, buscando o aprimoramento de processos internos, bem como a capacidade de aprendizagem da organização como um todo.
A influência do marketing social corporativo na identidade corporativa: um estudo nas indústrias de alimentos do Paraná
Authors: Corrêa Patricia Soares Azoline , Vieira Francisco Giovanni David , Scharf Edson Roberto
Published: July 2016

Marketing social corporativo (MSC) é um conceito que reúne atuação social e ferramentas de marketing. Implica que corporações compartilhem valor com seus públicos por meio da divulgação de programas sociais que desenvolvem, em um processo que gera benefícios para as causas sociais e para as próprias empresas. Este artigo aborda a influência do MSC na identidade corporativa das grandes indústrias do setor alimentício do estado do Paraná. Para tanto, foi realizada pesquisa qualitativa, utilizando-se entrevistas com gestores de marketing e de responsabilidade social, e pesquisa documental em veículos de comunicação. Os dados apontam que a comunicação das indústrias é direcionada aos stakeholders e são utilizados veículos específicos para esse fim, principalmente impressos. Os gestores acreditam terem obtido resultados, como fortalecimento na marca corporativa e maior abertura de mercado, porém ainda não possuem isso de forma mensurada.
