Authors: Miremadi Alireza , Samsami Mahsa , Qamsari Alireza Eftekharian
Published: November 2017

The automobile industry especially imported cars are the most lucrative sector in Iranian market since the disposable income in both urban and rural are increasing and easy alternative finance being provided by all Iranian financial institutions are developing, furthermore imported cars are considered as a short-term investment among the consumer in Iranian market due the foreign currency fluctuations. This study is considered as the first research to review the consumer buying behavior about imported cars and how Datis Company advertise, promote and what is the best place to be advertised to convince customers to buy or try new cars in the Iranian market. Promotional mix have the consequence of creating brand images and symbolic appeals that can be the effective way to strike the responsive chord with consumers. The purpose of this paper is to examine the consumer buying behavior about the imported car through various IMC tools, discover most efficient place , most influential advertising message and how often consumers decide to change the car to better or new one in the Iranian market. A simple random sampling was selected as the sampling method. The customers of Datis Company (Previous Purchase) were sampled to respond to the online questionnaires and 197 questionnaires were returned providing an 89.5 % response rate. We initiated with conducting an exploratory research on Iranian consumer behavior to determine the most important attribute adopted by them. The regression method applied to understand the influence of independent variables (Advertising, WOM, Internet Marketing, Direct Marketing, Public Relations, and Sales Promotion) on the dependent variable (IMC) in Datis Company. Above all, online marketing Communication (OMC), web and social network is discovered as the most effective way of placing the advertisement for Datis Company in the Iranian market. The findings of this study provide managerial implications for marketers for the advertising practice of technologically advanced products. The ambiguous results of the analysis suggest that companies should put more emphasis on the selection of the communicated information content of their advertisements.

Keuze voor een sanctiestelsel: bestuurlijke boete of bestuurlijke strafbeschikking?

Sinds de invoering van de bestuurlijke strafbeschikking zijn bepaalde voordelen van de bestuurlijke boete komen te vervallen. In deze bijdrage staat de vraag centraal wat anno 2017 de voordelen van de bestuurlijke boete zijn. Betoogd wordt dat bestuurlijkeboeterecht in materieel opzicht strafrecht is en in procedureel opzicht bestuursrecht, en dat de keuze voor de bestuurlijke boete daarom vooral op procedurele argumenten moet stoelen. Het belangrijkste procedurele argument ten gunste van de bestuurlijke boete is het vermijden van extra procedures. Het argument dat de bestuurlijke boete qua rechtsbescherming zou onderdoen voor de bestuurlijke strafbeschikking wordt van de hand gewezen.

Bespiegelingen over de keuze tussen bestuursrecht en strafrecht

In de nabije toekomst zal de wetgever zich gaan beraden over de zogenoemde ‘open context’ en ‘besloten context’. Deze criteria spelen een belangrijke rol ten aanzien van de keuze tussen het bestuursrecht en het strafrecht. Vanuit meerdere hoeken zijn deze criteria bekritiseerd, omdat ze te onbepaald zijn. In deze bijdrage wordt betoogd dat de wetgever meer gewicht moet toekennen aan het criterium van de ernstige gedraging. Er dient te worden gekozen voor het strafrecht indien sprake is van een ernstige gedraging, terwijl bestuursrechtelijk optreden mogelijk is bij minder ernstige gedragingen. Ten aanzien van de keuze tussen de bestuurlijke boete en de bestuurlijke strafbeschikking dient vooral pragmatisch te worden gekozen.

‘Een beetje wet kost drie dagen’: het bevriezingswetje eigen risico zorgverzekering en andere spoedwetten

Het wetje waarmee de hoogte van het eigen risico voor de zorgverzekering voor 2018 werd bevroren op € 385 (Stb. 2017, 356) kwam binnen drie dagen tot stand. De Tweede en Eerste Kamer behandelden het wetsvoorstel op dezelfde dag. In deze bijdrage wordt ingegaan op dit bijzondere wetgevingsproces. Onder meer wordt daarbij aandacht besteed aan de figuur van een mondeling eindverslag, waar de Eerste Kamer tegenwoordig anders mee omgaat dan voorheen. Ook wordt de vraag besproken waarom het wetje per se vóór 1 oktober in het Staatsblad moest staan. Op de ranglijst van de snelst tot stand gebrachte wetten ooit neemt het bevriezingswetje waarschijnlijk een (gedeelde) tweede plaats in. De eerste plaats wordt ingenomen door twee crisiswetten uit 1914. Ook die wetten uit 1914 behandelden de Tweede en Eerste Kamer op dezelfde dag. Dat gebeurde later nog een keer in 1938. Uit de parlementaire geschiedenis blijkt overigens dat die totstandbrenging van een wet in enkele weken geen unicum is. Vaak worden wetten die heel snel tot stand moeten komen, aangeduid als ‘spoedwet’ of ‘noodwet’. Aan het slot van de bijdrage wordt deze terminologie besproken.
Evolution of sanitary-epidemiological services in Poland in the years 1944-2014

Published: November 2017

This paper presents the history of sanitary-epidemiological services in the context of the health, economic and socio-political situation in Poland in the years 1944-2014, with a critical analysis of legal restraints, efficiency and achievements.
Polish Sanitary Services, established in 1919, as a state service, have preserved for more than 95 years (also during World War II and the occupation) the continuity of its structures and essential objectives to enable their implementation in the field of public health protection. The unique effectiveness of actions was recorded in the years 1954-1998 and 2002-2009 in the time of central (vertical) subordination of sanitary-epidemiological services.
The pre-accession preparation to the European Union (EU) strongly accelerated the development of sanitary-epidemiological services in Poland. Polish accession to the European Union has promoted the implementation of the WHO document “Health for All in the 21st Century” and the reduction of “health inequalities”.
Lessons in Ephemera: Teaching and Learning through Cultural Heritage Collections
Authors: McMullan Melissa , Cobley Joanna
Published: November 2017

This article synthesizes an intern’s experience assessing the University of Canterbury’s (UC) theatre and concert music program ephemera collection for its teaching and research potential, and evaluating its storage and preservation needs. Held at the Macmillan Brown Library and Archive (MB), the collection comprises around 6,000 items and takes up seven linear meters of physical storage space. The ephemera functioned as a portal into the evolution of Christchurch’s theatrical and concert music history, giving weight to the collection as a rich local historical resource worthy of keeping. The ephemera reflected how British, European, and American cultural practices were infused into colonial Christchurch’s theatrical and concert music scene. The collection also revealed a tradition of UC teachers who, since its establishment in 1873 as Canterbury College, actively shaped, participated in, and facilitated the development of Christchurch’s theatre and concert music heritage. Overall, the collection’s research value was its localism. Different ways of engaging researchers with the ephemera were considered, in addition to identifying the transferable skills the intern gained. With growing interest from students about internships, the authors also address questions about long-term impact and scalability of cultural-heritage collection-based intern and/or classroom-based learning projects more generally. Our main message for higher education management and those charged with the custodianship of cultural heritage collections is that hands-on learning helps students appreciate and value these locally significant collections.

Abrupt Intensification and Dissipation of Tropical Cyclones in Indian Ocean: A Case Study of Tropical Cyclone Nilofar – 2014
Authors: Abdul Qayoom Bhutto  , Muhammad Jawed Iqbal  , Mirza Jawwad Baig
Published: November 2017

This study aims to investigate the possible influence of different atmospheric forcing on intensification/dissipation of tropical cyclonic “Nilofar” in Arabian Sea appeared during the last week of October, 2014 which exhibited abrupt intensification and dissipation as well. The cyclone was monitored by the Tropical Cyclone Warning Center (TCWC) of Pakistan Meteorological | department and the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center (RSMC) of Indian Meteorological | department (IMD) continuously, issued warnings and advisories with the help of available synoptic observations, satellite data and numerical models. Almost all the essential ingredients for intensification and tracking of the cyclone were studied and monitored accurately. Although the track forecast of the cyclone remained up to mark; but great errors occurred in intensity forecast. The atmospheric vertical wind shear could not be studied accurately. The intensity of wind shear itself is dependent on both; the local and global atmospheric forcing and climate variables, reoccurring periodically, especially while occurring two or more at the same time. More studies are required for influence of these climate variables while co-occurring at the same time period. This study will help weather forecasters to pay special attention on variation of climate factors affecting the wind shear for proper forecasting of tropical cyclones in the Arabian Sea for the safety of coastal communities along the coast.
Home Environment Characteristics and BMI Z-Score Among Saudi Preschool Children: A Feasibility Study
Authors: Mosli Rana H.
Published: November 2017

Objective: To assess feasibility of using preschools in Saudi Arabia as a source for collecting nutrition-related data; To examine associations among home environment characteristics and child BMI z-score (BMIz).
Methods: Fifty-three (3-5 years old) children and their mothers were recruited from two preschools in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Mothers completed a self-administered questionnaire. Child anthropometry was completed using standardized procedures. BMIz was calculated using the WHO growth standards and reference data. Associations between child and home environment variables were tested using Pearson correlation, t-tests and ANOVA.
Results: Participation rate in the middle-to high-income preschool was higher compared to the low- to middle-income preschool (27.3% vs. 17.4%, respectively). Increase in child age and maternal BMI were associated with lower maternal playtime with the child (r= -0.31, p= 0.02, and r= -0.38, p= 0.006, respectively). Increase in child age was also associated with lower paternal playtime with the child (r= -0.26, p= 0.05). Paternal playtime with the child was positively associated with both paternal involvement in feeding (r= 0.30, p= 0.03) and regular family mealtimes (r= 0.26, p=0.05). There was a trend of positive association between paternal involvement in feeding and higher child BMIz (r= 0.26, p=0.08). Mean child BMIz was lower when mothers had ³ a college education vs. not (p= 0.04). Greater child screen time was associated with fewer family mealtimes (p= 0.01).
Conclusion: Increasing awareness is needed in order to improve feasibility of studies conducted in Saudi preschools; Future work is needed to further establish the associations of home environment characteristics and child obesity.

Published: November 2017

The growth rate from birth to three months of some breastfed and non-breastfed infants age 0 – 12 weeks delivered in hospitals at Owo metropolis was evaluated with a view to know the effect of breastfeeding on growth rate. A total of one hundred (100) breastfed and non-breastfed neonates were purposely selected in the neonatal sections of three hospitals in Owo, March 2012. Anthropometry measurement was used to assess growth rate for length, weight, head and mid upper arm circumference of the infants on weekly basis using standard length board, digital weighing scale and shakir tape for twelve weeks. Epi-info 2008 nutritional software was used to determine length for – age z-score, weight for – age z-score, Head and mid-upper arm for age z – scores. Data were analyzed using SPSS soft ware (version 17.0). Results show that the rate of growth in length per week ranged between 0.5 – 1.0cm within 4th to 12th weeks of growth while an average rate of growth in weight of 100 – 400g was discovered between 2nd to 6th weeks of growth among both breastfed and non-breastfed infants. Observation shows that between birth to 4th week formula fed babies tend to be leaner in weight compared to their breastfed counterpart which maintained stable weight within this period. The study shows that breastfeeding significantly (P> 0.05) affect rate of growth among the breastfed infants. Growth pattern of infant skewed toward – 2 and 0 when compared with the NCHS/CDC reference population growth curve. In all, 2% of the breastfed and 8% of non-breastfed were severely underweight. There is no alternative to breastfeeding at this critical stage of life for optimum growth of infants. Therefore, mothers should be encouraged to breastfeed exclusively for 6th months in order to achieve optimum growth and development.

Authors: Chapoterera Byron , Maradzika J. Chideme , Marume Anesu , Zikiti Admire
Published: November 2017

Background: The dietary patterns are becoming a major public health concern. The current data from various studies in Zimbabwe shows that there was an increase in the prevalence of obesity among secondary school adolescents in Harare. There is a link between eating habits and obesity. This study was conducted to explore the factors influencing dietary practices among adolescents in Zimbabwean schools.
Methods: A school based analytic cross sectional study was conducted with 283 pupils aged 13-19 years. Systematic random sampling was used. Data was collected using self-administered questionnaire based on the ecological framework. The aim of the study was to identify the relationship between dietary patterns and occurrence of obesity. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the relationship between dietary patterns and obesity.
Findings: The prevalence of obesity was 11.4%. Females were 6.79 (95% CI: 2.17-21.22 p=0.001) more likely to be obese. Consumption of sugar and sweetened beverages were associated with occurrence of obesity; beverages (AOR=3.62, 95%CI=1.99-10.91 p=0.025); eating of snacks in between meals (AOR=2.40, 95%CI=1.03-5.64 p=0.004); so was being located in high density suburb (0R=0.45, 95CI=0.21-0.99 p=0.023); consuming burgers (OR=4.41, CI=1.54-12.64 p=0.006); being a pupil in lower adolescent with age less than 16 (OR=1.99 95%CI=0.99-4.27 p=0.038). Consuming a special diet that is recommended or as a choice was protective from obesity though this was not statistically significant. Not removing visible fat from meat was a risk factor for developing obesity. Eating the traditional maize meal staple food, sadza was protective to being obese (OR=0.3514, 0.16-0.78)
Conclusions: The study showed that obesity is a cause for concern among school children as seen by 11.4% prevalence. Choice of meals is done by parents, eating a home cooked meal such as sadza, participating in meal planning was found to be reinforcing factors. There is need to create awareness on students, parents, teachers and the wider community to increase the adoption of healthy dietary practice among school children.
Infant Feeding Practices with Oral Health Implications among Suburban Mothers of Tanzania
Authors: Shariff Mbawalla Hawa , Majid Shadia
Published: November 2017

Background: Behaviours around infants feeding influence both nutritive value and the detrimental effects of the infant feeding.
Aim: The study aimed to determine infant feeding practices with implication to child’s oral health and examine the related socio-demographic factors.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study among mothers of the infants who were attending RCH clinics in suburban areas of northwest Tanzania. Cluster sampling technique was used to obtain the participants and a structured questionnaire was used to interview the mothers. Frequency distributions and cross-tabulations were used for analysis and reported as proportions and identified differences between the comparative socio-demographic categories.
Results: Study involved 213 mother-infant pairs; infants’ mean age was 7.22 ± 3.48 months and 53.1% were female babies. Almost all (94.6 %) the infants were breastfed and 75.3% of infants under six months of age were exclusively breastfeeding. In infants age older than six months, 32.6% of mothers reported to have initiated complementary food before the baby turned six months and that sugar sweetened foods were mostly used (68.1%) complementary foods. Higher proportion of mothers who had secondary school education or beyond (43.4%) reported to have initiated complementary food before the recommended age than their counterparts. Mothers who were employed reported to mostly (74.5%) use sugar sweetened complementary foods as compared to unemployed mothers.
Conclusion: Infants of this community were mostly breastfed and initiated complementary feeding earlier than recommended time. Employed mothers and those with secondary education or above tended to have unfavorably infant feeding practices than their comparative groups.
Simulacres et reenactment : l’aura de Laura entre cinéma et télévision, de Preminger (Laura) à Lynch (Twin Peaks)
Authors: Vaillancourt Thibaut
Published: November 2017

Dans quelle mesure les pratiques subsumées sous l’intraduisible notion de reenactment sont-elles susceptibles d’être rapportées à la notion de simulacre, à l’eidôlon, dont l’exclusion du champ de la connaissance a fondé avec Platon un nouvel ordre philosophique ? En passant par l’analyse d’une remise en jeu intermédiale de Laura d’Otto Preminger (1944) par David Lynch et Mark Frost dans la série Twin Peaks (1990-1991), il s’agit de montrer en quoi convergent deux relations : le rapport du refaire à l’oeuvre dite « originale » et l’opposition d’une ontologie du simulacre à l’épuration essentialiste du geste platonicien. En cela, l’aura de Laura suggère une observation selon laquelle les pratiques de reenactment rejouent, dans les domaines de l’art, le renversement de la hiérarchie platonicienne par la revalorisation du simulacre, telle qu’elle est apparue chez Nietzsche, Klossowski ou Deleuze.
Rejouer l’archive par l’animation : la performance du geste graphique comme appropriation mémorielle
Authors: Fevry Sébastien , Wouters Nicolas
Published: November 2017

Cet article entend montrer en quoi le concept de reenactement permet d’éclairer certaines pratiques mémorielles du documentaire animé, sachant que nous nous focalisons ici sur la performance du geste graphique à l’oeuvre dans ce type de cinéma. Plus précisément, notre propos sera d’examiner les relations entre le geste graphique et les archives visuelles (films, photographies…). Sous cet éclairage, il apparaîtra que le geste graphique répond essentiellement à deux fonctions : une fonction d’approfondissement, qui consiste à explorer les contours d’une archive donnée comme pour en approfondir la résonance mémorielle, et une fonction relationnelle, visant à réassembler, par le biais de plans composites, des archives de différents statuts participant à la construction d’une même histoire personnelle. Dans les deux cas, le geste graphique sera perçu comme un geste mémoriel à part entière, doté d’une dimension corporelle et permettant de rejouer l’archive.
Le répertoire du fado ou la tradition en action
Authors: Patrix Pénélope
Published: November 2017

Cet article aborde le fado par le prisme du répertoire, un concept fortement structurant dans les pratiques et sans cesse débattu par les acteurs. Ce choix permet de réfléchir à ce qui fait l’unité, la continuité et la créativité de cette chanson intermédiale, à la fois traditionnelle et moderne, orale et écrite, performative et médiatique. Le fado peut dès lors être abordé comme un art de la reprise : chaque interprète, en se réappropriant des éléments du répertoire et en proposant de nouvelles configurations lors de sa performance, réactive et renouvelle ce dernier, tout en laissant sa trace dans une mémoire collective des interprétations. On adopte ici une perspective historique afin d’observer comment le répertoire est réinvesti et redéfini à chaque époque, et quels sont les affects, les valeurs et les mémoires que ses mises en oeuvre véhiculent.
Reconstituer Waterloo dans les années 1960 : l’histoire selon Marcel Broodthaers et Norbert Brassinne
Authors: Fourgeaud Nicolas
Published: November 2017

Avec cet article, on souhaiterait faire le portrait (contextuel, institutionnel, médiatique) de deux acteurs fondamentalement différents, mais qui font de la reconstitution historique un enjeu central de leurs pratiques dès la fin des années 1960 et la rapportent, dans un cas comme dans l’autre, à un même lieu, le champ de bataille de Waterloo, en Belgique francophone : l’artiste bruxellois Marcel Broodthaers (1924–1976) et le commerçant/reconstituteur wallon Norbert Brassine (1907–1988). En plus d’analyser quel rapport à l’histoire et à la reconstitution développent ces deux non-historiens très distincts à travers leurs actions, leurs productions ou leurs apparitions médiatiques, cet article vise aussi à revenir sur une période où la reconstitution historique en était à ses balbutiements à Waterloo, la fin des années 1960. Ce double portrait se propose donc comme une archéologie très localisée des usages et représentations de la reconstitution historique.

The presence of a hotel for journalists in a US Army training facility prompted the research on “war hotels” used by media workers when they cover a conflict. One of the results of this research is a feature-length film titled Hotel Machine, which was shot in the post-conflict environment of five hotels situated in Sarajevo, Belgrade, Beirut, Gaza, and Kiev. The various techniques used in the film to “make the hotel speak” are discussed in this essay.
Les femmes qui agressent sexuellement en compagnie de leur conjoint : trajectoires de vie
Authors: Desfachelles1 Marion , Cortoni Franca
Published: November 2017

Si les connaissances relatives aux délinquantes sexuelles se sont développées au cours des dernières décennies, les codélinquantes sexuelles ont été peu étudiées, alors que ces femmes représentent une part importante des délinquantes sexuelles. Le but de la présente étude était de mettre en lumière les trajectoires de vie des femmes qui agressent en compagnie de leur conjoint. Dix-sept entretiens avec des femmes incarcérées en France pour des faits de codélinquance sexuelle ont été menés et analysés selon l’approche de la théorisation ancrée. Notre recherche indique que les codélinquantes présentent majoritairement un historique de vie abusif et des difficultés émotionnelles, relationnelles et sociales importantes. Ces facteurs de vulnérabilité ont été acquis au cours de leur enfance et à l’âge adulte à travers leurs expériences sentimentales négatives et abusives, les mettant dans une position à risque d’agresser sexuellement.
La problématique des mineures en fugue : une question de protection ou de développement ?
Authors: Hamel1 Sylvie
Published: November 2017

Cet article présente les résultats d’une recherche ayant été réalisée de 2008 à 2011 dans le but de réactualiser notre compréhension de l’expérience de la fugue chez les jeunes. Des entretiens semi-dirigés ont été conduits auprès des 90 répondants (jeunes, parents, intervenants des milieux communautaire et institutionnel et policier). Cet article se concentre ici sur le discours des jeunes (n = 33), plus particulièrement sur celui des filles (n = 17), à propos des dangers qu’elles ont rencontrés durant leurs fugues, mais aussi à propos du sens qu’elles donnent à cette expérience qu’elles ont vécue. Les résultats indiquent que les filles ne nient pas les risques de la fugue ni les expériences difficiles pouvant y être associées. Mais, en contrepartie, ces dernières estiment apparemment que ces risques sont secondaires relativement aux impératifs de leur développement qui les mettent dans l’urgence de vérifier leurs capacités à fonctionner seules dans le monde. Sur le plan de l’intervention, les enjeux entourant le développement des jeunes, filles et garçons, semblent être tout aussi importants à considérer que ceux de leur protection.
Le crime d’honneur : dans les marges de la hiérarchie de genre
Authors: Schwab1 Aurore
Published: November 2017

La victime du crime d’honneur est généralement une femme qui est soupçonnée de gérer sa chasteté d’une façon divergente de l’avis de son groupe familial (en refusant de se marier, en ayant une relation extraconjugale, etc.). Habituellement, l’auteur du crime d’honneur est masculin et fait partie du même groupe familial que la victime. Une hiérarchie de genre est sous-jacente au crime d’honneur et traverse les échelles de gouvernance (locale, nationale, internationale). Pour le montrer, nous étudions le cas du crime d’honneur subi par Samia Sarwar le 6 avril 1999 au Pakistan et plus particulièrement le débat qui a entouré ce meurtre. D’abord, nous analysons la manière dont la hiérarchie de genre peut marginaliser le groupe social des femmes. Ensuite, nous observons le rôle des femmes non seulement comme complices du crime d’honneur, consolidant par là la structure maritale androcentrique, mais aussi comme complices des rituels amoureux concurrents des mariages. En devenant amantes et médiatrices des histoires d’amour, les femmes déstructurent en effet le système patriarcal et patrilinéaire. Enfin, cet article met en lumière, notamment par l’analyse du discours de la rapporteuse spéciale onusienne sur la violence envers les femmes, la manière dont les (op)positions sur le crime d’honneur et la hiérarchie de genre traversent les échelles de gouvernance.
It’s the workflows, stupid! What is required to make “offsetting” work for the open access transition
Authors: Geschuhn Kai Karin , Stone Graham
Published: November 2017

Watch the VIDEO here. Presenter – Kai GeschuhnThe conference contribution makes the case for a stronger engagement of libraries and consortia when it comes to negotiating and drafting offsetting agreements.Two workshops organised by the Efficiencies and Standards for Article Charges (ESAC) initiative in 2016 and 2017 have shown a clear need for an improvement of the current workflows and processes between academic institutions and their libraries and the publishers in terms of author identification, metadata exchange, and invoicing. Publishers need to invest in their editorial systems while institutions need to get a clearer understanding of the strategic goal of offsetting.To this purpose, strategic and practical elements, which should be included in the agreements, will be introduced. Firstly, the “Joint understanding of offsetting”, launched in 2016, will be discussed. This introduces the ‘pay-as-you-publish’ model as a transitional pathway of the agreements. Secondly, the contribution proposes a set of recommendations for article workflows and services between institutions and publishers, based on a draft document, which was produced as part of the 2nd ESAC workshop in March 2017. These recommendations should be seen as a minimum set of practical and formal requirements for offsetting agreements and are necessary to make any publication based open access business model work.The conference contribution is based on an article currently under review for the November 2017 issue of the journal “UKSG Insights”.
Perverse incentives: How the reward structures of academia impede scholarly communication and good science
Authors: Gowers Timothy
Published: November 2017

Watch the VIDEO here.There is widespread agreement that our practices of scholarly communication are a long way from being optimal, and that this has become particularly true in the last twenty years. In principle, the internet should make dissemination almost free and allow for new forms of communication such as "grey literature" and the sharing of data. And yet, while the internet has undoubtedly changed all our lives for the better, articles in conventional and extremely expensive journals continue to be the dominant means of communication, and it has proved to be very difficult to change the system to take advantage of the new opportunities. I shall discuss the various incentives that give the current system its robustness, and make a few suggestions for how they can be weakened. To do this I shall draw on my own experiences of campaigning for change, and also report on some important changes that have already taken place in the communication practices of mathematicians.

Published: November 2017

Second order statistical moments of the phase fluctuationsare obtained taking into account the boundary condition,diffraction effects and polarization coefficients of theordinary and extraordinary waves. The variance and thecorrelation function are calculated for arbitrary 3D spectralfunction of electron density fluctuations containing bothanisotropic Gaussian and power-law spectra; anisotropycoefficient and the orientation angle of elongated plasmairregularities. The phase scintillation index and thescintillation level are analyzed numerically. Maximum ofthe scintillation index for small-scale irregularities is in theinterval 0.2-0.3 corresponding to the moderate scintillationintensity, within the weak-scatter regime. Splashes arerevealed for different anisotropy factor of elongated largescaleirregularities varying orientation angle with respect tothe lines of force of geomagnetic field. Scintillation index iscalculated for small-scale irregularities using the “frozenin”assumption and taking into account movement of rigidirregularities. Log-log plots of the power spectrum of theintensity fluctuations have the same minimums satisfyingthe “standard relationship” of scattered ordinary andextraordinary waves. It was shown that the normalizedscintillation level growth in both non-fully-developeddiffraction pattern and in transition zone increasinganisotropy factor. Rising orientation angle scintillation leveldecreases and splashes arises in fully developedscintillation region.
Seasonal and geographic variations of Macrocystis pyrifera chemical composition at the western coast of Baja California
Authors: Rodríguez-Montesinos YE , Hernández-Carmona G
Published: November 2017

The seasonal and geographic variation of mannitol, iodine, lipids, proteins, crude fiber, ashes, humidity, sodium alginate content and the determination of viscosity and pH in the last were studied in samples of Macrocystis pyrifera that were collected seasonally at three localities of Baja California peninsula: Ensenada, B.C., Santo Tomas, B.C., and Bahia Tortugas, B.C.S. The highest percentages corresponded to ashes (34.22-41.43%) and sodium alginates (18.8-26.50%). The alginates viscosity showed a marked seasonal variation that ranges from 132 to 999 cps at 1.25% in solution. The crude protein content varied from 5.13 to 12.72%, whilst in mannitol these ranged from 2.06 to 15.03% and crude fiber from 6.38 to 8.86%. The lipids (0.69-1.14%) and iodine (0.083-0.115%) contents recorded the lowest values.
Latitudinal variation of copepod diversity on the west coast of B.C.S., Mexico 1982-1984
Authors: Hernández-Trujillo S
Published: November 2017

Species composition of copepods, as well as abundance of each identified species, were obtained by analyzing zooplankton collected on the west coast of Baja California Sur during some months of the 1982-1984 period. Diversity for each oceanographic campaign (Shannon-Wiener) was estimated. It was found that areas with higher diversity were frequently located in the southern portion of the studied area, associated with waters of up to 29%. Inversely, areas with lower diversity were located in the northern and central portions of the studied area, and are associated with waters under 20ºC. In 1983 tropical species dominated the area. Their level fell during 1984, without species of other biogeographic affinities becoming dominant.

In order to analyze mortality and expectation of life of the calanoid copepod Acartia californiensis Trinast during its life cycle an experiment was carried out under laboratory conditions (17ºC + 1ºC and 35‰). Eggs from adults collected in Estero de Punta Banda, Baja California, Mexico, were obtained and cultured until the adult stage. They were fed with microalgae Tetraselmis sp. and Isochrysis tahitiana. During the development of the organisms, the maximum mortality rate was observed in the naupliar stages. Based on a horizontal stage-specific life table, the mean expectation of life or further life for animals alive in the population showed the highest rates for the nauplii-I to nauplii-VI stages (3.98 days ± 0.61 SD); the lowest rates were recorded for the copepodid stages (2.26 days ± 1.05 SD). According to a horizontal age specific life table, during the first ten days of life of an organism, survival and expectation of life were of 0.67 ± 0.24 SD and 6.45 days ±0.82 SD, respectively. On the other hand, these rates decreased up to 0.183 ± 0.13 SD for survival, and 2.30 days ±1.32 SD for expectation of life during the last days of the experiment. The differences between the results of each type of table are probably due to the integration effect on the horizontal stage-specific table. Variations of mortality and expectation of life are probably due to the kind of food and the metabolism variations of the organism by stage. This study supplements the information on development of the life cycle and reproductive biology of A. californiensis, dominant zooplankton in the estuary zones of the northeastern Pacific.

Based on studies of the sea lion carried out on the island of Angel de la Guarda in the Gulf of California during 1986, 1987 and 1988, it has been established that the reproductive season of sea lions is between May and June. The births begin in the third week of May and end in the third week of July. It has been recommended that special captures of live animals should only be allowed between the months of January and March. This study proposes that the weight and size increment of the pups during their first year of life responds, in the case of males to a potential model, and in females to an exponential model. From these models we can derive the minimum capture size of 100 cm length and 19 kg weight. This size is reached by the age of seven months.

Introdução: o ensino nas instituições de ensino superior restringe o assunto abordado quanto à utilização de psicofármacos para sofrimentos psíquicos junto ao aluno, direcionando a aprendizagem ao tratamento específico de problemas mentais. Objetivo: Compreender a formação, conhecimento e percepção dos graduandos dos cursos de farmácia e enfermagem do Centro Universitário Católica de Quixadá-CE, sobre a utilização de psicofármacos na gestação. Metodologia: caráter predominantemente quantitativo e transversal, realizado com 59 discentes de uma instituição de ensino superior, nos cursos de Farmácia e Enfermagem dos dois últimos períodos da graduação. Para tanto, utilizou-se um questionário semiestruturado para a coleta de dados juntamente com uma análise documental. Resultados: verificou-se quanto à formação, um número insatisfatório de disciplinas elencadas com o assunto psicofármacos (5%). Em relação ao conhecimento e percepção dos discentes quanto ao assunto psicofármacos e efeitos negativos em gestantes, observou-se uma grande deficiência: (77%) relataram não conhecer os efeitos teratogênicos causados por estes. A análise revelou a necessidade que os graduandos de saúde apresentam frente à realidade prática. Como subsídio e feedback para estes alunos, foi apresentado à coordenação dos cursos uma proposta de curso optativo estruturado de metodologias ativas, e os coordenadores mostraram-se muito interessados, a ponto de repensarem em uma mudança matricial. Conclusão: acredita-se que o reconhecimento da importância e da necessidade da formação como prática transversal nos cursos de graduação em Saúde, poderá contribuir para o crescimento profissional e pessoal enquanto estudantes e colaboradores de qualidade de vida, enquanto profissionais

The dramatic increase of bioreactive nitrogen entering the Earth's ecosystems continues to attract growing attention. Increasingly large quantities of inorganic nitrogen are flushed from land to water, accelerating freshwater, and marine eutrophication. Multiple, interacting, and potentially countervailing drivers control the future hydrologic export of inorganic nitrogen. In this paper, we attempt to resolve these land‐water interactions across boreal/hemiboreal Sweden in the face of a changing climate with help of a versatile modeling framework to maximize the information value of existing measurement time series. We combined 6,962 spatially distributed water chemistry observations spread over 31 years with daily streamflow and air temperature records. An ensemble of climate model projections, hydrological simulations, and several parameter parsimonious regression models was employed to project future riverine inorganic nitrogen dynamics across Sweden. The median predicted increase in total inorganic nitrogen export from Sweden (2061–2090) due to climate change was 14% (interquartile range 0–29%), based on the ensemble of 7,500 different predictions for each study site. The overall export as well as the seasonal pattern of inorganic nitrogen loads in a future climate are mostly influenced by longer growing seasons and more winter flow, which offset the expected decline in spring flood. The predicted increase in inorganic nitrogen loading due to climate change means that the political efforts for reducing anthropogenic nitrogen inputs need to be increased if ambitions for reducing the eutrophication of the Baltic Sea are to be achieved.
A Global Assessment of Dissolved Organic Carbon in Precipitation
Authors: Safieddine Sarah A. , Heald Colette L.
Published: November 2017

Precipitation is the largest physical removal pathway of atmospheric reactive organic carbon in the form of dissolved organic carbon (DOC). We present the first global DOC distribution simulated with a global model. A total of 85 and 188 Tg C yr−1 are deposited to the ocean and the land, respectively, with DOC ranging between 0.1 and 10 mg C L−1 in this GEOS‐Chem simulation. We compare the 2010 simulated DOC to a 30 year synthesis of measurements. Despite limited measurements and imperfect temporal matching, the model is able to reproduce much of the spatial variability of DOC (r = 0.63), with a low bias of 35%. We present the global average carbon oxidation state (

The Effect of Boiling on Seismic Properties of Water‐Saturated Fractured Rock

Published: November 2017

Seismic campaigns for exploring geothermal systems aim at detecting permeable formations in the subsurface and evaluating the energy state of the pore fluids. High‐enthalpy geothermal resources are known to contain fluids ranging from liquid water up to liquid‐vapor mixtures in regions where boiling occurs and, ultimately, to vapor‐dominated fluids, for instance, if hot parts of the reservoir get depressurized during production. In this study, we implement the properties of single‐ and two‐phase fluids into a numerical poroelastic model to compute frequency‐dependent seismic velocities and attenuation factors of a fractured rock as a function of fluid state. Fluid properties are computed while considering that thermodynamic interaction between the fluid phases takes place. This leads to frequency‐dependent fluid properties and fluid internal attenuation. As shown in a first example, if the fluid contains very small amounts of vapor, fluid internal attenuation is of similar magnitude as attenuation in fractured rock due to other mechanisms. In a second example, seismic properties of a fractured geothermal reservoir with spatially varying fluid properties are calculated. Using the resulting seismic properties as an input model, the seismic response of the reservoir is then computed while the hydrothermal structure is assumed to vary over time. The resulting seismograms demonstrate that anomalies in the seismic response due to fluid state variability are small compared to variations caused by geological background heterogeneity. However, the hydrothermal structure in the reservoir can be delineated from amplitude anomalies when the variations due to geology can be ruled out such as in time‐lapse experiments.
The Influence of Plumbing System Structure on Volcano Dimensions and Topography

Volcano morphology has been traditionally studied from a descriptive point of view, but in this work we took a different more quantitative perspective. Here we used volcano dimensions such as height and basal radius, together with the topographic profile as indicators of key plumbing system properties. We started by coupling models for the ascent of magma and extrusion of lava flows with those for volcano edifice construction. We modeled volcanic edifices as a pile of lavas that are emitted from a single vent and reduce in volume with time. We then selected a number of arc‐volcano examples to test our physical relationships and estimate parameters, which were compared with independent methods. Our results indicate that large volcanoes (>2,000 m height and base radius >10 km) usually are basaltic systems with overpressured sources located at more than 15 km depth. On the other hand, smaller volcanoes (<2,000 m height and basal radius <10 km) are associated with more evolved systems where the chambers feeding eruptions are located at shallower levels in the crust (<10 km). We find that surface observations on height and basal radius of a volcano and its lavas can give estimates of fundamental properties of the plumbing system, specifically the depth and size of the magma chamber feeding eruptions, as the structure of the magmatic system determines the morphology of the volcanic edifice.

A number of members of the G protein‐coupled receptor class of cell surface receptors are ‘orphans’ with no known endogenous ligand. One of these orphan receptors is GPR61; there are little data about its expression in human cells and tissues. In this study, we investigated the post‐translational modification of GPR61 by N‐glycosylation at an identified consensus N‐glycosylation site (N12) and the impact of this modification upon the subcellular expression of the protein. The N‐glycosylation inhibitor tunicamycin reduced the apparent molecular weight of immunoreactivity associated with myc‐tagged GPR61 by 1–2 kDa, which was comparable to the evident molecular weight of the myc‐tagged N12S GPR61 mutant with disrupted consensus N‐glycosylation site. Analysis of GPR61 expression demonstrated that tunicamycin treatment reduced considerably heterologous expression of GPR61 in the cell membrane despite the N12S GPR61 mutant being readily expressed at the cell surface. These results demonstrate that GPR61 is subject to N‐glycosylation but suggest this is not a prerequisite for cell surface expression, although N‐glycosylation of other proteins may be important for cell membrane expression of GPR61. Expression of GPR61 protein was demonstrated at the cellular level in human hippocampus and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. In the latter, there was a significantly higher expression of GPR61 in the Th17 cell subset in comparison with resting CD4+ cells, which may point toward a potential role for the GPR61 receptor in autoimmune diseases. This is the first report that GPR61 protein is subject to post‐translational modification and is expressed in immune cell subsets and the hippocampus. These findings will help guide studies to investigate the function of GPR61.
