Determinantes del precio del suelo como variable proxy de las preferencias idiosincráticas de los individuos en un marco teórico de equilibrio general
Authors: Talero Bernal Jorge Andrés
Published: October 2016

Los fenómenos urbanos se caracterizan desde diferentes vertientes teóricas, por ejemplo, el equilibrio general espacial que modela el comportamiento de consumidores, firmas e impactos en la movilidad por la densificación o distribución aleatoria de los agentes en el territorio, que constituye el problema del planeador centralizado del territorio. Sin embargo, la presencia de elementos inobservables de las preferencias o gustos idiosincráticos de los agentes dueños del territorio usualmente no es modelable, pero constituye un bloqueo para la renovación urbana. En este artículo se repasan algunos de los principales supuestos de un modelo de equilibrio general y su validez empírica en términos de las dinámicas de precios, para finalmente plantear una forma de modelar aquellas preferencias idiosincráticas inobservables en los cambios de un territorio, utilizando la técnica de datos panel.

Hecha la caracterización del crecimiento  económico y la política económica, la estimación teórica se desarrolló con cifras computadas por las instituciones del país, asegurando su veracidad y pertinencia.
HIV-Associated Cognitive Impairment in Perinatally Infected Children: A Meta-analysis
Authors: Phillips Nicole , Amos Taryn , Kuo Caroline , Hoare Jacqueline , Ipser Jonathan , Thomas Kevin G. F. , Stein Dan J.
Published: October 2016

CONTEXT:

Research shows, conclusively, that perinatal HIV infection has negative effects on cognitive functioning of children and adolescents. However, the extent of these cognitive impairments is unknown. Current literature does not document specific cognitive domains most affected in HIV-infected children and adolescents.

OBJECTIVE:

To systematically review and meta-analyze the degree of cognitive impairment, and the specific cognitive domains affected, in children and adolescents with perinatally acquired HIV infection.

DATA SOURCES:

We systematically searched 5 electronic bibliographic databases, namely: PubMed, PsychINFO, Academic Search Premier, Scopus, and WorldCat, by using a search protocol specifically designed for this study.

STUDY SELECTION:

Studies were selected on the basis of set a priori eligibility criteria. Titles, abstracts, and full texts were assessed by 2 independent reviewers.

DATA EXTRACTION:

Data from included studies were extracted into Microsoft Excel by 2 independent reviewers.

RESULTS:

Twenty-two studies were identified for inclusion in the systematic review and of this, 6 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Results from the meta-analysis indicated that working memory and executive function were the domains most affected by the HIV virus.

LIMITATIONS:

Only 27% of the included studies were suitable to enter into the meta-analysis. There was significant geographic bias in published studies, with only 32% (7/22) of included studies from sub-Saharan Africa.

CONCLUSIONS:

The evidence supports an association between HIV infection in children and adolescents and cognitive impairment in the domains of working memory, executive function and processing speed, with effect size estimates also providing some support for deficits in visual memory and visual-spatial ability.

POTRET PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM DI SEKOLAH UMUM
Authors: Rouf Abd.
Published: October 2016

Bahasa Indonesia:

Praktik pendidikan agama Islam di sekolah (umum) amatlah minim atau kurang maksimal. Secara umum, jumlah jam pelajaran agama di sekolah rata-rata 2 jam per minggu. Dengan alokasi waktu seperti itu, jelas tidak mungkin untuk membekali peserta didik dengan pengetahuan, sikap, dan keterampilan agama yang memadai. Oleh karena itu, harus dilakukan strategi alternatif dalam memenuhi kebutuhan peserta didik akan pendidikan agama di sekolah umum, antara lain: melalui kegiatan ekstra kurikuler berbasis keruhanian, tambahan-tambahan materi kegamaan di luar jam pelajaran, menyisipkan muatan keagamaan kedalam semua bidang studi umum, dan lain sebagainya. Sumber daya guru agama Islam juga perlu terus ditingkatkan kualitasnya, baik dari segi content maupun metodologi. Di samping itu, proses pelaksanaan pendidikan agama Islam harus selalu dilaksanakan dengan baik dan maksimal. Evaluasinya tidak cukup hanya menilai aspek kognitif siswa, tetapi harus juga melihat dan menilai aspek afektif dan psikomotoriknya. Ketiga domain (kognitif, afektif, psikomotorik) pendidikan agama Islam harus dilihat dalam pelaksanaan penilaian, sehingga bersifat komprehensif.

 

English:

Islamic education subject in secular school is quite minimal in its duration. Generally, it takes only two credit hours per week in such kind of school. Due to the time allocation, it is clearly impossible to hand down student standard religious knowledge, attitude, and skills. Therefore, the school needs to find an alternative way to respond the needs of standard religious education in secular schools. Some of the implemented strategies are the religious extra-curricular program, extra hours for the subject, and integrated the religious messages in non-religious subjects. Religious teaching staff must also be upgraded in terms of the quality, either the subject matter enrichment or the instructional process. In addition, the instructional process needs optimal implementation. The evaluation should cover the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor areas. The three previously mentioned domain in Islamic education subject must be carefully and comprehensively assessed.
EKSISTENSI KURIKULUM PESANTREN DAN KEBIJAKAN PENDIDIKAN
Authors: Saifuddin Ahmad
Published: October 2016

Bahasa Indonesia:

Sebagai lembaga pendidikan Islam asli Indonesia, pondok pesantren sudah menunjukkan keberhasilan dalam menjaga eksistensi diri. Sejak zaman sebelum merdeka sampai orde reformasi, pesantren semakin diakui keberadaannya dalam perundang-undangan Indonesia, terutama terkait pendidikan. Sebagai lembaga pendidikan Islam, pesantren memiliki unsur kyai, santri, pondok, masjid, metode pembalajaran dan kitab kuning. Variasi pondok pesantren menjadi salafiyah dan khalafiyah. Namun keduanya tetap memakai ketiga metode pembelajaran, yaitu sorogan, bandongan dan wetonan. Kurikulum pesantren merupakan alat untuk mencapai tujuan pendidikan, sekaligus sebagai pedoman dalam pelaksanaan pendidikan yang mencerminkan pandangan hidup bangsa. Lingkungan kebijakan pendidikan adalah ruang lingkup yang berada pada lingkungan dari sistem pendidikan tersebut, baik terpusat maupun bersifat lokal. Masalah dan agenda kebijakan pendidikan terdiri dari isu-isu yang sedang dibahas serius dalam hubungan domain kebijakan di bidang pendidikan. Sistem dan prosedur perumusan kebijakan pendidikan meliputi fungsi alokasi, fungsi inquiri dan fungsi komunikasi. Kajian metodologi dalam kebijakan pendidikan tidak dapat dipisahkan dengan pembahasan mengenai subtansi pendidikan itu sendiri. Pondok pesantren –meskipun merupakan model pendidikan asli pribumi- namun dalam dinamikanya selalu tidak dapat lepas dari kebijakan pendidikan secara nasional.

 

English:

As a native Islamic educational institution in Indonesia, Pesantren has showed its success in preserving its existentialism. From the colonial period to the reformation period, Pesantren is getting more recognition in Indonesian legal system, particularly in the act of national education. As an Islamic educational institution, Pesantren has several element in its body, such as the kyai (the orthodox teacher), santri (the disciples), pondok, (the dorms), mosque, teaching methods, and kitab kuning (the yellow scriptures). The Pesantren has the salafiyah and khalafiyah as the variants. However, both of them implement the same teaching methods such as sorogan, bandongan, and wetonan. The Pesantren curriculum is a way of achieving educational goals and a direction of education with nation philosophies. The educational policy area in the Pesantren education exists both in national and local level. Issues and policy of education consist of actual problems in educational policy domain. The system and procedure of educational policy making involves several functions, such as allocation, inquiry, and communication. Methodological discourse in educational policy cannot be separated from the discourse of education itself. Pesantren –despite as a native educational system- cannot be separated from the dynamics of national education policy.
Local Environmental Context Conditions the Impact of Russian Olive in a Heterogeneous Riparian Ecosystem
Authors: Tuttle Graham M. , Katz Gabrielle L. , Friedman Jonathan M. , Norton Andrew P.
Published: October 2016

Local abiotic and biotic conditions can alter the strength of exotic species impacts. To better understand the effects of exotic species on invaded ecosystems and to prioritize management efforts, it is important that exotic species impacts are put in local environmental context. We studied how differences in plant community composition, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), and available soil N associated with Russian olive presence are conditioned by local environmental variation within a western U.S. riparian ecosystem. In four sites along the South Fork of the Republican River in Colorado, we established 200 pairs of plots (underneath and apart from Russian olive) to measure the effects of invasion across the ecosystem. We used a series of a priori mixed models to identify environmental variables that altered the effects of Russian olive. For all response variables, models that included the interaction of environmental characteristics, such as presence/absence of an existing cottonwood canopy, with the presence/absence of Russian olive canopy were stronger candidate models than those that just included Russian olive canopy presence as a factor. Compared with reference plots outside of Russian olive canopy, plots underneath Russian olive had higher relative exotic cover (exotic/total cover), lower perennial C4 grass cover, and higher perennial forb cover. These effects were reduced, however, in the presence of a cottonwood canopy. As expected, Russian olive was associated with reduced PAR and increased N, but these effects were reduced under cottonwood canopy. Our results demonstrate that local abiotic and biotic environmental factors condition the effects of Russian olive within a heterogeneous riparian ecosystem and suggest that management efforts should be focused in open areas where Russian olive impacts are strongest.
Influence of Irrigation Timing on Disturbance-Induced Reductions in Soil Seedbank Density
Authors: Schutte Brian J. , Klypin Nina , Shukla Manoj K.
Published: October 2016

Studies suggest that disturbance-induced reductions in soil seedbank density are diminished by periods of water scarcity after soil disturbance; however, this hypothesis has yet to be tested. The objectives of this study were (1) to determine the effects of increasing time between soil disturbance and flood irrigation on disturbance-induced reductions in soil seedbank density, and (2) to identify specific soil moisture levels that cause seedbank reductions under flood irrigation. Weed species in this study were junglerice, Palmer amaranth, and yellow foxtail. For Objective 1, artificial seedbanks with known numbers of seeds were disturbed 10, 3, or 0 d prior to flood irrigations under field conditions. For Objective 2, seeds were buried in soil mesocosms that were hydrated to specific soil water potentials (flooded, 0 kPa, −30 kPa, −60 kPa, and −180 kPa) and placed in laboratory conditions favorable for germination. For both objectives, seeds were recovered to determine the percentages of buried seeds that survived the disturbance or moisture treatments. Results for the field study indicated that soil disturbances reduced seedbank persistence of Palmer amaranth but did not affect seedbank persistence of junglerice and yellow foxtail. Disturbance-induced reductions in seedbank density were greatest when soil was disturbed 0 and 3 d prior to flood irrigations. For the laboratory study, results showed that waterlogged soil was not required for seedbank losses because rates of seedbank persistence were greater in saturated soils (0 kPa and flooded) compared to the lower moisture levels. These studies indicate that delays in irrigation can reduce the seedbank reduction potentials of soil disturbance events. Further, irrigation timing effects on disturbed soil seedbanks are likely to occur in all irrigation systems, including those that reduce the amount of water applied compared to flood irrigation.
Variation in the Sensitivities of Hairy Beggarticks (Bidens pilosa) Plants and Their Progenies to Glufosinate Ammonium

Published: October 2016

The objective of this study was to evaluate the response of hairy beggarticks plants to different doses of glufosinate ammonium and the range in sensitivities of the plants and their progenies to the herbicide. Three studies were conducted, all in a greenhouse and repeated at different times. In the first study, two experiments were conducted to examine the dose–response curve, and the treatments were seven different doses of the herbicide glufosinate ammonium (0, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1,600 g ai ha−1), with four replications each. In the second study, which examined the range in sensitivity of hairy beggarticks to glufosinate ammonium, 44 plants were sprayed with a dose of 200 g ai ha−1of the herbicide. Finally, in the third study, the range in sensitivity of the progeny of hairy beggarticks to glufosinate ammonium was investigated; in this experiment, the progenies of seven of the previous plants were sprayed with 200 g ai ha−1of herbicide. The ammonium contents in the tissues were measured and percent injury wase visually assessed. Ammoniun content in hairy beggarticks leaves was increased more than seven times by glufosinate application and the maximum ammonium content was observed for the highest dose of the herbicide. Variability existed in the ammonium content among the individuals of the population of hairy beggarticks; however, the behavior was not replicated in the same way in the progenies. The survival of the plants after application of the herbicide allows the production of progenies with wide variability in their sensitivity to the product, independent of the behavior for the progenitor plants.
Production of belite calcium sulfoaluminate cement using sulfur as a fuel and as a source of clinker sulfur trioxide: pilot kiln trial
Authors: Hanein Theodore , Galan Isabel , Elhoweris Ammar , Khare Sameer , Skalamprinos Solon , Jen Gabriel , Whittaker Mark , Imbabi Mohammed S. , Glasser Frederik P. , Bannerman Marcus N.
Published: October 2016

A pilot-scale trial was undertaken in a 7·4 m kiln to demonstrate the production of belite calcium sulfoaluminate cement clinker using sulfur as a raw feed. The sulfur was introduced in its elemental form as fuel to the burner, thus partially offsetting fuel costs while providing sulfur trioxide which is incorporated in the clinker. The study demonstrates that sulfur trioxide is readily sequestered into cement clinker in a standard rotary kiln; however, some scrubbing of the exit gas may still be required. As the products of scrubbing (anhydrite or gypsum) are usually required to optimise the cement formulation, the recovered sulfur product can find an immediate use in the final cement product. This trial demonstrates the successful production of targeted belite calcium sulfoaluminate clinkers at scale using sulfur as both a fuel and sulfur trioxide source.
The biological activity of high-density lipoprotein fractions and their role in the development of cardiovascular diseases

Published: October 2016

Increasing the human plasma concentration of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) may be part of strategy for control of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). HDL particles vary in their structure, metabolism, and biological activity. The review describes major HDL fractions (subpopulations) and discusses new findings on the antiatherogenic properties of HDL particles. The whole spectrum of HDL fractions, small, dense, protein-rich lipoproteins, has atheroprotective properties that are determined by the presence of specialized groups of proteins and lipids; however, this activity may be decreased in atherogenic lesion. Comprehensive structural and compositional analysis of HDL may provide key information to identify the fractions that have characteristic biological properties and lose their functionality in CVD. These fractions may be also biomarkers for the risk of CVD and hence represent pharmacological targets.
Dizziness and anxiety disorders in the elderly
Authors: Kotova O V , Zamergrad M V
Published: October 2016

Perhaps each dizzy patient feels anxiety. Varying emotional disorders are particularly common in elderly patients with dizziness. The causes of the frequent concurrence of dizziness and mental disorders (anxiety and depression) are diverse. Amongst these there are two chief conditions: 1) vestibular vertigo may cause anxiety to a greater extent than many other symptoms; 2) anxiety and depression are themselves frequently manifested by the sensations resembling vestibular ones that patients are inclined to call dizziness. On the contrary, anxiety may appear in some cases as the sensations resembling dizziness. Besides the latter, the patient may present a lot of complaints, which serves as a manifestation of psychoautonomic syndrome (the basis for which is anxiety and depression). At the same time, the term «phobic postural instability» is proposed to describe psychogenic disorders, in which dizziness becomes virtually the only chief complaint. The treatment of dizziness and anxiety disorders in the elderly encompasses a few areas: vestibular rehabilitation, drug therapy, and psychotherapy. The paper describes the possibilities of using anvifen as a pathogenetically sound treatment in patients with anxiety disorders, as anvifen is a GABA-ergic medication.
Atrial fibrillation and prolonged nocturnal cardiac arrests in a patient with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Successful correction of disorders by CPAP therapy
Authors: Bairambekov E Sh , Pevzner A V , Litvin A Yu , Fomicheva O A
Published: October 2016

The case history of a 46-year-old patient with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome was analyzed. The examination revealed fourth-degree obesity, prior myocardial infarction, persistent atrial fibrillation with nocturnal asystoles lasting as long as 14.3 sec. During selected drug therapy and regular application of secondary ventilation (continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy) used to correct breathing problems, there was a reduction in the signs of circulatory deficiency, cessation of cardiac pauses, and recovery of sinus rhythm. The therapeutic effect persisted during a 24-month follow-up.
Interrelation of Language and Culture
Authors: Bayramova Ayten Mahammad
Published: October 2016

The present article deals with the mutual influence of constituent components of language - culture interrelation. It also studies the revealing of the forms and principles of occurrence of cultural factors in the language and  provides a short insight into the history and setting of the problem. The attitude of a human being towards reality phenomena as well as to the realization of time, quantity, gender, and case categories depend on the life style, daily routine, customs / traditions and  mentality of the ethnos. The ways of defining common and distinguishing features of expressing the linguo- cultural factors in multi – system languages are investigated in the paper. It is stated in the research  that  cultural factors are reflected not only in the lexical and phraseological units of the language system, but also in its grammatical categories. Being a bearer and a transmitter of information, language is a specific means of realization of the culture.Accordinly,  cultural factors are encoded and decoded in the language depending on the mentality and outlook of the ethnos. The mutual influence of language and culture occurs in communication process between the bearers of multi – system languages and evinces quite differently.
Effects of Text-based QQ Communication on Medical College Students English Writing
Authors: Li Li
Published: October 2016

In this study, the author integrated QQ into the study of non-English majors in a medical university. The purposes of this study are to find out learner attitudes towards the design of the English writing program in QQ, to examine student performance in terms of linguistic accuracy and complexity, and to explore affordance of QQ as a platform for English writing. The guided theoretical framework for the design of the study is constructivist learning theory. Task based learning approach is applied to control the learning procedure and guide the participants. The research methodology includes a combination of quantity and quality methods, descriptive analysis, and content analysis. Results indicate that the participants all hold positive attitudes towards the design of the English writing in this platform. Learner performance in terms of linguistic accuracy has been enhanced as evidenced by: the decreased number of grammatical errors and decreased percentage of grammatical errors to total number of sentences. Learner performance in terms of linguistic complexity is significantly improved according to the following aspects: the relatively increased length of the essay within the given time; the decrease of various errors; and the increase of the compound sentences and the complex sentences, etc. Findings showthat task-based English writing in QQ is effective in scaffolding English language learning. Participants preferred the writing in QQ, including either the real-time interactions and communications or non-real-time ones, which proved to be a promising language learning environment and should be considered and further studied by educators.
A Creative Design and Implementation of Student-led Flipped Classroom Model in English Learning
Authors: Liu Chengcheng , Liu Zhongwen
Published: October 2016

The paper begins with the introduction of the origin and wide application of flipped classroom model (hereafter refers to as FCM) in American schools, and then analyzes the basic connotations and framework of FCM with creative thinking. Five famous American FCMs are illustrated in detail and compared in different areas, which are used for reference in the design of our own future class. The highlight and creation of the paper is presented in Part III expounding the creative design and practice of Student-led FCM in English learning in Chinese high schools. It includes the elaborate design of pre-class independent learning with two indispensable components of Chinese FCM: micro-course and in-class activity learning with group discussion. The paper finally demonstrates a case study of Student-led FCM in English class designed and implemented by the students in Dalian Yuming Senior High School tentatively, providing inspiration and references for the creative application of Student-led FCM in Chinese high schools.
Conversational Implicature in English Listening Comprehension Teaching
Authors: Li Qun
Published: October 2016

Owing to the importance of listening comprehension among the four basic second language acquisition skills, considerable attention has been given to the pedagogic method of improving listeners’ proficiency. In China, there exist some problems in English listening teaching in Senior Middle Schools. Professor Wang Zhongyan said “In listening teaching, it is not unusual that teachers just play records without offering any hints”. In listening teaching, listeners are only viewed as passive receivers without any hints. After listeners listen to a passage once or twice, teachers check the answers, and then play the tape sentence by sentence. However, listening comprehension is an active process. The importance of developing students’ listening competence in Senior Middle School English Teaching is obvious. So far much work has been done at home and abroad to look for ways to facilitate students’ listening competence.
Russiske kvinner i Nord-Norge: fortellinger om soppturer og sovjettid
Authors: Wara Tatiana
Published: October 2016

The article portrays and discusses various reorientation practices used by Russian women who have migrated to the Finnmark region in Northern Norway. It draws on participant observation, individual interviews and focus group interviews. The fieldwork revealed that mushroom related activites – picking, talking about, preparing and eating – constitute an important part of a shared Russian heritage accumulated through a communist-era childhood. The article makes particular use of Floya Anthias’ concept of translocal positioning. Anthias conceptualizes social positioning as a practice that occurrs within and across both concrete locations and cultural contexts, and is shaped by specific processes of minoritizing and majoritizing. Through the perspective of translocation, and inspired by Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology of the body (1994), this article aims to show how my informants position themselves as Russian women in Finnmark. Based on an analysis of the experiences and practices related to mushrooms, the article argues that migrants’ reorientations may fruitfully be viewed as practices that are constituted through the body across time and space.

Multipoint observations of Ionospheric Alfvén Resonance
Authors: Baru N. , Koloskov A. , Yampolsky Y. , Rakhmatulin R.
Published: October 2016

Among the processes that form properties of the geospace in the circumterrestrial plasma the electromagnetic resonances of the Earth, such as Schummann Resonance (SR) and Ionospheric Alfvén Resonance (IAR) are of great importance. IAR is more localized in space than SR and its properties largely depend on the characteristics of the propagation medium. In contrast to the SR, which has global nature and which is continuously observable at any time of the day, IAR signals are registered mostly during the nighttime and demonstrate more variability of the parameters than SR signals. At the Earth surface IAR is registered as Spectral Resonance Structure of the natural electromagnetic noise at frequency range 0.1-40 Hz. In this work we studied an influence of the environment characteristics on IAR parameters by the means of multipoint observations. Annual data series recorded at Ukrainian Antarctic Station 'Akademik Vernadsky', Low Frequency Observatory of the Institute of Radio Astronomy near Kharkov (Ukraine) and magnetic station of Sayan Solar Observatory Mondy near Irkutsk (Russia) were used for the analysis. We investigated the behaviour of IAR parameters, such as probability of resonance lines registration and frequency spacing $\Delta F$, for annual and diurnal intervals. These parameters were compared with characteristics of the ionosphere above all of the observation points and geomagnetic activity.

CARACTERIZACIÓN MORFOMÉTRICA DE FORMAS GLACIARES EN CUÑA EN LAS SIERRAS DE XISTRAL, TELENO Y CABRERA
Authors: Hall-Riaza Jonathan F. , Valcárcel Marcos , Blanco-Chao Ramón
Published: October 2016

En el presente trabajo se cita la presencia en distintos macizos del NW de la Península Ibérica de formas de erosión glaciar descritas como «formas glaciares en cuña». Este tipo de formas se describen en la bibliografía como vinculada a glaciares activos, y se consideran indicadoras de la presencia de glaciarismo de base fría. Estas condiciones indican en último término la presencia de permafrost continuo. Otros indicios, como la presencia en el área de estudio de campos de bloques refuerzan esta interpretación.
IDENTIFICACIÓN E INVENTARIO DE POTENCIALES GLACIARES ROCOSOS ACTIVOS EN LOS PIRINEOS MEDIANTE FOTOINTEPRETACIÓN EN VISORES CARTOGRÁFICOS 2D Y 3D: PRIMEROS RESULTADOS
Authors: Ventura Roca Josep
Published: October 2016

En este artículo se inventarían un total de 69 nuevos glaciares rocosos potencialmente activos (intact rock glaciers) en los Pirineos; incluyendo a 25 de reducidas dimen-siones y catalogados como lóbulos protalud y a 27 con una superficie superior a los 20.000 m2. La metodología utilizada en esta fase del estudio ha sido la fotointerpretación en visores cartográficos 2D y 3D con ortoimagenes de alta resolución. Se analizan sus principales características junto a los 18 glaciares rocosos inventariados previamente y se establecen 5 tipologías de estas geoformas; 3 de talud periglaciar y 2 de derrubios glaciogénicos. A destacar por su con-centración de glaciares rocosos los nuevos macizos estudiados de Perdiguero – Gourgs Blancs y Punta Alta – Colomèrs con 10 y 8 glaciares rocosos respectivamente y la localización de diversos glaciares rocosos aislados en macizos del Pirineo Oriental (Canigó, Carlit y Puigmal-Carançà).
DISTRIBUCIÓN Y CARACTERIZACIÓN DE BLOQUES ARADORES EN EL NOROESTE DE LA PENÍNSULA IBÉRICA: EL ALTO SIL Y EL MACIZO DE VIZCODILLO
Authors: Santos González Javier , González Gutiérrez Rosa Blanca , Redondo Vega José María , Gómez Villar Amelia
Published: October 2016

Los bloques aradores son una de las formas periglaciares más características de las montañas ibéricas, pero los estudios específicos sobre los mismos son muy escasos. En este trabajo se presentan datos de medio centenar de bloques de dos enclaves del noroeste ibérico: el Alto Sil (Cordillera Cantábrica) y el macizo de Vizcodillo (Sierra de la Cabrera). En ambos lugares se han tomado medidas de las características de los bloques (dimensiones, orientación, litología), así como de los surcos (longitud) y los montones (altura) generados, y de las pendientes (orientación, pendiente) en las que se ubican.
Se encuentran en zonas elevadas (1855-2116 m) con orientación entre norte y este, con pen-dientes más suaves (4 a 28º) en Vizcodillo que en el Alto Sil (16 y 40º), ya que en el primero de los lugares se encuentran en una superficie elevada por encima de los circos, mientras que en el Alto Sil están dentro de las laderas de los mismos. Su tamaño oscila entre 54 y los 440 cm de eje mayor, orientados preferentemente en el sentido de la ladera. Los surcos son relativamente cortos (menos de 1 m en varios casos), aunque algunos superan los 3 a 5 m, mientras que los montones presentan una altura modesta, entre 20 y 50 cm en la mayoría de los casos.
Aunque la mayor parte parecen inactivos, hemos observado desplazamientos al menos en 2006 y 2015 en algunos de ellos, con movimientos de entre 10 y 35 cm, pudiendo ser movimientos relativamente rápidos. El movimiento ocasional de los bloques parece estar ligado a la existencia de unas condiciones térmicas adecuadas durante un año concreto, si bien aún se tienen pocos datos sobre esa relación. En todo caso, en uno de los bloques se observó que la congelación estacional del suelo superaba los 50 cm.
Without Thought Force the Milky Way Wouldn't Be the Same—Thought Force in Practice
Authors: Lajtner Tamas
Published: October 2016

Thoughts and gravity have common roots. Gravity changes your thoughts, and your thoughts change gravity. How? According to current, widespread understanding, measurable thoughts are electromagnetic signals of the brain. We made a very simple experiment with force of thought using a paper wheel. We concluded that the energy carried by thoughts (expressed in frequency of energy wave) was eight orders of magnitude beyond the highest frequencies of the brain’s electric waves. The brain’s electromagnetic signal doesn’t explain all effects of thought, it is just a part of measurable thought. Thought is a gravity-like force. According to the General theory of Relativity, gravity is the deformation of space-time. With this definition, however, we can only partially account for the peculiarities of the force of thought. For a complete understanding, we must redefine the concept of gravity; and for this, we must broaden our concept of the "space-time" conceptual system. This broader version can be described as "space-matter" model. Gravity can be regarded as changes in the frequencies of space waves. Thought manifests itself as a gravity-like force, as a new fundamental force. This new force can be given as the changes in the frequencies of space waves, too. Using thought force is possible in our daily practice, too. We can build devices and create methods that are run by thought force.

The objective of this study is to assess the response of five varieties of sweet maize namely, Prime plus (V1), Shy 1036 (V2), Colombus (V3), GSS (V4), and JKMH-45 (V5) to three different doses of NPK (15-15-15) fertilizer: F1 (normal dose), F2 (75% of the normal dose) and F3 (125% of the normal dose). An experimental design in Fisher blocs with 15 treatments was established at the ISRA/CRA experimental station in Saint Louis (Senegal). The results have shown that 30 days after sowing (DAS), the varieties Colombus, GSS and JKMH-45 have had the highest heights with 32.75 cm, 31.85 cm and 31.46 cm, respectively with the F2 dose. The variety JKMH-45 has a greater height of the upper ear (89.39 cm) at 60 DAS and valorizes better the F2 dose (75% of the normal dose). The F3 dose increases less the plant’s height. A non-significant difference was observed among the 5 varieties used regarding the precocity. The variety V2 or Shy 1036 developed ears at first, but is not precocious compared to the variety V1 that not only shows earlier anthesis but also an appearance of darker hairs. The variety JKMH-45, although presenting darker hairs after the variety Prime plus, is the latest variety, earing at 57 DAS and with male and female anthesis appearing at 59 DAS and 63 DAS. This study can constitute a basic criterion in differentiating the sweet maize varieties in Senegal. It would also allow more financial saving on inputs and contribute to the maximization ofproduction if the choice of the variety is well done.

The most important assessment of neurological examination in the clinical setting is assessing level of consciousness. The first neurological tool used to assess patients' level of consciousness was the Glasgow Coma Scale. It is considered as the most common less subjective gold standard coma assessment tool. The purpose of this study was to assess Jordanian nurses' knowledge about Glasgow Coma Scale. A non-experimental, descriptive cross-sectional correlational design was performed in four (3 private hospitals and 1 governmental) hospitals in Amman-Jordan. A self-reported questionnaire was answered by all (ICU, CCU, ER, and Telemetry) nurses who accepted to participate in the study. A total of 200 questionnaires were distributed to the participants with 90% response rate ending with 180 questionnaires in the final analysis. More than half of the sample (56.7%) was males. The participants were young nurses with mean age of 26.3±8 years. The total mean score for the whole sample was 7.38 ± 1.96. There was no relationship between experience, level of education, and training course and knowledge level. Nurses working in accredited hospitals and governmental hospitals recorded more level of knowledge than other hospitals. Emergency Room nurses recorded less level of knowledge than other area of practice. In conclusion, knowledge about Glasgow Coma Scale is a global problem. Jordanian nurses, as other nurses, have inadequate knowledge to perform Glasgow Coma Scale assessment. It is vital and necessary to include educational programs about Glasgow Coma Scale for nurses in all areas of practice and in the curricula of nursing colleges.

The report describes the technique to measure the resistance of some novel conducting threads. All of the measurements were performed in the EMC lab at SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden, Boras. The conducting threads were received from Ms. Azadeh Soroudi of the University of Boras. The conducting additive used for the threads was Carbon Black. The resistance was measured using two different methods: The two-terminal measurement method and the four-terminal measurement method. A result from the comparison of the two methods was that the two terminal measurement method provided more information than the fourterminal method. There seemed to be no advantage to use the four terminal method at all, for the resistance range studied.

Permian volcanic Chougrane-El Had the Bouhsoussène complex (central Morocco), manifested primarily by volcanic rocks rhyodacites nature and basalt intercalated in the clay-greso-conglomeratic permian deposits. These are rocks texture in general microlitic to porphyry. Basalts consists of a primary paragenesis formed of plagioclase, pyroxene, olivine and quartz and a secondary mineral assemblage consisting of muscovite, calcite, chlorite and quartz. The rhyodacites show primary paragenesis formed of plagioclase, pyroxene and quartz and a secondary mineral assemblage consisting of calcite and sericite. Petrographic characteristics of these rocks are comparable to those of the Permian volcanic complex Khénifra and Tiddas- Sebt Ait Ikkou (Central Morocco). Area Chougrane-El Had the Bouhsoussène created on intracontinentale tear in the Asturian phase (Michard, 1976) recorded three volcanic episodes, two major eruptive episode and a third in vein deposit mode.

Positive organizational scholarship has gained attention in recent years which emphasizes investing in employee strengths. Review of relevant literature gave some insights on the relationship between organizational climate, inter-individual relationships and thriving at work. This study examines the impact of organizational trust on thriving at work quantitatively. Data was obtained from sample of academicians all over Turkey (n=422) participated to cross-sectional survey study stating their trust to management, supervisor, colleagues and their thriving at work. The structural equation modelling results showed a strong positive relationship between organizational trust and thriving at work (?=.74). Also, it was the first time thriving at work scale has been assessed in Turkey. The validity and reliability scores indicate its usability in Turkish literature.
BIOLOGI, GEJALA SERANGAN, DAN PENGENDALIAN HAMA BUBUK JAGUNG Sitophilus zeamais MOTSCHULSKY (COLEOPTERA: CURCULIONIDAE)
Authors: Nonci Nurnina , Muis Amran
Published: October 2016

Salah satu kendala dalam penyimpanan jagung adalah serangan hama
gudang. Salah satu hama gudang jagung adalah Sitophilus zeamais
Motschulsky (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). Hama ini ditemukan di
daerah panas maupun lembap. Hama ini bersifat polifag, dapat
merusak serealia seperti beras/gabah, jagung, gandum, dan sorgum,
namun dilaporkan sebagai hama penting pada jagung. Kehilangan
hasil jagung di wilayah tropis akibat S. zeamais berkisar antara 30-
100%. Biji jagung yang disimpan selama 6 bulan menunjukkan
kerusakan 85% dan bobot biji menyusut 17%. Telur hama tersebut
diletakkan di dalam biji dan dalam beberapa hari akan menetas
menjadi larva. Larva menyelesaikan siklus hidupnya di dalam biji.
Telur berwarna putih bening, berbentuk lonjong, lunak dan licin,
berukuran 0,7 mm x 0,3 mm. Larva berwarna putih kekuningan,
tidak bertungkai, kepala berwarna cokelat, terdiri atas empat instar,
panjang 1,5–4 mm. Periode larva berlangsung 25 hari. Imago S.
zeamais berukuran 3-4,5 mm. Hama S. zeamais dapat dikendalikan
dengan cara: 1) menyimpan jagung dalam wadah maupun gudang
secara higienis, 2) menanam varietas tahan, 3) menggunakan
musuh alami yaitu parasit, predator, dan patogen, seperti parasitoid
Lariophagus distinguendus dan Anisopteromalus calandrae, serta
patogen Beauveria bassiana, 4) memanfaatkan insektisida nabati
yang memiliki toksisitas tinggi terhadap S. zeamais, yaitu Ageratum
connyzoides (bandotan), Andropogon nardus (serai), Allium sativum
(bawang merah), Nicotiana tabacum (tembakau), Zingiber officinale
(jahe), dan Azadirachta indica (mimba), serta 5) menyemprotkan
insektisida sintetis metil pirimifos.

Fusarium sp. merupakan salah satu patogen penting pada tanaman jagung di Indonesia, yang menginfeksi batang, tongkol, dan biji jagung di lapangan maupun pada tempat penyimpanan. Cemaran F. verticillioides perlu diwaspadai karena patogen tersebut menghasilkan toksin fumonisin (FB1, FB2, dan FB3). Fusarium sp. terdiri atas enam spesies, dan spesies yang dominan menginfeksi jagung ialah F. verticillioides. Infeksi patogen tersebut pada biji jagung dapat menimbulkan gejala maupun tanpa gejala (symptomless). Pengendalian hayati pada tanaman di lapangan dengan Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, B. mojavensis, dan bahan kimia berbahan aktif asam amonia dan propionat efektif menekan infeksi F. verti
Effects of Light Intensity and Growth Rate on Tipburn Development and Leaf Calcium Concentration in Butterhead Lettuce
Authors: Sago Yuki
Published: October 2016

Tipburn is a severe problem in producing butterhead lettuce under artificial lighting and develops as a consequence of decreased calcium concentrations in leaves. Here, we investigated the effects of light intensity on tipburn development and calcium concentration in leaves by comparing their growth rates. Butterhead lettuce was grown in a plant factory under artificial light at photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) densities of 150, 200, 250, and 300 μmol·m−2·s−1. Fresh and dry weights of shoots, relative growth rate, the number of leaves, and the number of tipburned leaves significantly increased with light intensity. Associations existed between growth and tipburn occurrence. Calcium absorption rate per plant also increased with light intensity in association with increased water absorption rate. Consequently, calcium concentrations in the entire plant and outer leaves increased with light intensity. In contrast, calcium concentration in the inner enclosed leaves did not increase with light intensity. This pattern can be attributed to the higher mass flow of calcium to outer leaves than to inner leaves, driven by transpiration, under high light intensities. Thus, a lack of calcium in the inner leaves resulting from rapid growth may contribute to the frequent tipburn development.
