Valuing Social Responsibility in the Era of Data Analytics
Authors: Irvin Melissa R.
Published: November 2019

Higher education is increasingly interested in utilizing data analytics to support all aspects of university operations, including enrollment management and learning outcomes. Despite potential benefits to improve results and resource efficiency, the use of student information and the creation of predictive models is a potential minefield which could undermine larger higher educational missions tied to civic responsibility and social mobility. Questions remain as to the impacts of predictive modeling on underrepresented communities like students of color and differently abled students. Emerging research on similar fields of analytics, including predictive policing, provides a window into the ethical considerations that must be made to use data analytics responsibly. This chapter uses the construct of social responsibility to propose a process model for the responsible use of data analytics in colleges and universities derived from Carroll's Pyramid of Corporate Social Responsibility.
Making America Great Again
Authors: Shoemaker Dan C.
Published: November 2019

An interdisciplinary overview of more than 100 years of anti-democratic sentiment calls into question the regressive meaning of the political slogan “Make America Great Again.” The chapter is organized into four sections: (1) a review of political and economic history since the 1870s, (2) a review of media theory and history since the last third of the 20th century, (3) a theoretical excursion into social media's impact on public discourse and democracy, and (4) a theoretical proposition for employing the construct of regard as a way to negotiate the wish for both diversity and consensus, to facilitate community amid diversity, and to build democratic coalitions for progressive action in a regressive era.
Unveiling neotropical serpentine flora: a list of Brazilian tree species in an iron saturated environment in Bom Sucesso, Minas Gerais

Published: November 2019

Serpentine soils are those holding at least of 70% iron-magnesium compounds, which make life intolerable for many species. Although plant's adaptation to environmental toughness is widely studied in tropics, virtually nothing is known about Brazilian serpentine flora. Our aim was to bring up and characterize the serpentine flora in Bom Sucesso, Minas Gerais state, Brazil. We performed expeditions utilizing rapid survey sampling method to identify the arboreal compound in the area. Plants within circumference at breast high (CBH) up to 15,7 cm were included in our study. A specialist identified all the individuals to species level. We found 246 species located in 59 botanical families. Fabaceae, Myrtaceae and Melastomataceae were the most representative families in the area. Serpentine areas usually present a few species capable to survive to adverse conditions, contrasting the high number found in our study. To our knowledge, this is the first floristic survey in serpentine areas in the neotropics, reinforcing the need for more studies about plant diversity in those areas. It seems that serpentinites is not the key factor influencing plant diversity in the neotropics. The high diversity found in our study strengthens serpentine areas as a place for conservation concern.
Agostinho de Hipona (354-430) entre a antiguidade clássica e o império romano: instrução, educação e ação
Authors: Magalhães Ana Paula Tavares
Published: November 2019

As dioceses do norte africano constituíam um posto avançado da cristianização no Ocidente tardo-antigo. A presença de Agostinho favorecia a vocação da região para o debate em torno da fé e para a formulação de diretrizes formativas para os fiéis. Na perspectiva agostiniana, o papel da educação ultrapassava o ensino formal das normas das disciplinas do mundo clássico, e propunha a criação de uma nova cultura. O viés formativo caracterizou a ação agostiniana, que se voltou rapidamente para a reelaboração de saberes tendo como finalidade a cristianização. No interior desse rearranjo, assumiriam papeis de destaque as obras destinadas a leigos, embora sem prejuízo da tratadística episcopal.
Uma perspectiva sobre as escolas na Hispânia Visigoda nos séculos VI-VII
Authors: Charrone João Paulo , Michelette Pâmela Torres
Published: November 2019

Partimos de dois pressupostos: 1) Os ambientes escolares constituem-se como um locus de poder que ultrapassa a questão educacional; 2) Parte dos pesquisadores que estudaram ou estudam o medievo não se debruçaram suficientemente sobre este assunto, limitando-se apenas a fazerem breves análises gerais. Isso posto, o objetivo desse artigo será discutir as diferentes escolas e como se dava o ensino no reino visigodo, em especial nos séculos VI-VII. Lembrando que a Igreja, monopolizadora desta área, terá no campo educacional mais um elemento de reforço de sua autoridade. Deve ter em mente ainda que o período em questão do trabalho se dá logo após a consolidação desta instituição no reino visigodo com a conversão do reino ao catolicismo niceísta no III Concílio de Toledo (589).
El feudalismo en los manuales escolares argentinos: su abordaje historiográfico (1999 – 2006)
Authors: Rodríguez Gerardo Fabián , Waiman David
Published: November 2019

El feudalismo es un tema clave a la hora de explicar la Edad Media en la escuela argentina hoy y siempre. En el marco de una reforma educativa nacional que viene a provocar cambios en los contenidos y métodos de enseñanza dentro de los diseños curriculares, observamos que en la práctica áulica y, en especial en los manuales escolares usados como fuentes históricas, esto es con ideología tradicional, resisten los cambios novedosos y mantienen explicaciones de este tema medular caracterizados por el arcaísmo historiográfico, el memorismo y las indefiniciones. En suma, refuerzan una cultura escolar y una disciplina escolar, la Historia, con fuerte impronta en la visión político – institucional del tema a ser estudiado.
Potencializando a educação crítica por meio de práticas culturais na penitenciária industrial Esmeraldino Bandeira
Authors: Maia Viviane de Souza Barbosa , Faceira Lobelia da Silva
Published: November 2019

O artigo tem como objetivo analisar a cultura como instrumento de potencialização da consciência crítica, capaz de resistir aos processos de controle e domínio ideológicos produzidos pela instituição prisão.  A prisão consiste no que Goffman (1987) chamou de instituição total, lugar fechado e formalmente administrado que, ao separar indivíduos de suas relações sociais produz barreiras subjetivas. A pesquisa é de natureza qualitativa, uma vez que problematiza aspectos da vida social, que não podem se restringir a análise quantitativa dos dados, mas prioriza a complementaridade. As técnicas de construção de dados foram a entrevista semiestruturada, a observação participante, análise documental, revisão da literatura gramsciana sobre Ideologia, Hegemonia e Cultura. A pesquisa utilizou como técnica de análise de dados a análise de discurso francesa, um mecanismo que entende o discurso como uma prática social, Foi por meio da análise de discurso que se buscou compreender de modo crítico a resistência da cultura frente aos rebatimentos subjetivos ocasionados pela instituição prisão, suas manifestações e contradições no âmbito da Execução Penal e da ausência do Estado Social ou de direito. Nesse sentido, a cultura passa a ser compreendida como “instrumento” de memória e identidade, possível para apreender a prisão como um espaço “sem muros” que pode ser preenchido de luta e resistência no processo de construção da cidadania.

NOTAS SOBRE O CURRÍCULO E A FORMAÇÃO INTERDISCIPLINAR DE PROFESSORES DA EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA
Authors: Medeiros Emerson Augusto de , Dias Ana Maria Iorio , Amorim Giovana Carla Cardoso
Published: November 2019

O texto apresenta notas sobre o currículo e a formação interdisciplinar de professores da Educação Básica. Em virtude da complexidade imanente ao campo curricular – quanto à sua produção na área de Educação – e a interdisciplinaridade, propomos, neste ensaio, aprofundar o debate acerca do tema. Com apoio na revisão de literatura, entendemos que uma proposta de formação interdisciplinar de professores da Educação Básica ganha forma em um currículo que movimenta o conhecimento em sala de aula e para além dela. A interdisciplinaridade, se constituindo em “atos de aprendizagem”, não se reduz à mera organização de matrizes curriculares com a integração de áreas ou disciplinas. O currículo de formação docente que preze pela interdisciplinaridade como medula central desarmoniza a opacidade entre teoria e prática, entre cotidiano e ciência, entre formação teórica e formação humana e a materializa na ação com o conhecimento e trabalho produzido entre os diferentes sujeitos que o vivem.
FORMAÇÃO E APRENDIZAGENS DE MENTORAS INICIANTES EM UM PROGRAMA DE INDUÇÃO À DOCÊNCIA
Authors: De Souza Ana Paula Gestoso , Reali Aline Maria de Medeiros Rodrigues , Barros Bruna Cury de , Anunciato Rosa Maria Moraes
Published: November 2019

Este estudo tem como cenário uma pesquisa-intervenção sobre um Programa Híbrido de Mentoria (PHM), financiada pela FAPESP-São Paulo, Brasil. Analisamos narrativas, escritas e orais – memorial de formação, diário reflexivo e entrevista – produzidas por professoras experientes em diferentes momentos, com o objetivo de compreender suas aprendizagens ao longo da formação como mentoras e no início do acompanhamento de professoras iniciantes. Para construir uma base de conhecimentos para ensinar professores iniciantes acerca dos conteúdos de ensino, das práticas pedagógicas e outros conhecimentos relacionados à escola, a análise de dados revelou a construção de diferentes aprendizagens. Foi aprendido a: olhar para a trajetória profissional; tomar consciência de seu papel profissional; olhar para a própria prática de mentoria; conhecer a realidade de outros níveis de ensino e desenvolver maior compreensão emocional do professor de outro nível de ensino; valorizar o papel da reflexão no desenvolvimento profissional docente; valorizar a atuação docente; avaliar as próprias práticas pedagógicas; rever práticas de sala de aula e transpor práticas adotadas no PHM para sua atuação na sala de aula, entre outras. Essa análise possibilitou a organização desses conhecimentos em torno de dois eixos: aprendizagens referentes à concepção de mentoria e aprendizagens para o exercício da mentoria.
ESCOLAS CONFESSIONAIS CONVENIADAS COM O PODER PÚBLICO EM CAMPO GRANDE/MS: IMBRICAÇÕES ENTRE OS CAMPOS POLÍTICO, RELIGIOSO E EDUCACIONAL
Authors: Oliveira Letícia Casagrande , Assis Jacira Helena do Valle Pereira
Published: November 2019

Na história da educação brasileira identificamos momentos em que as organizações religiosas lutam para garantir um espaço para a religiosidade em escolas e currículos escolares. A presença de escolas confessionais conveniadas com o poder público é a ressonância desses embates, a partir de convênios entre instituições religiosas e órgãos públicos, é possível que uma instituição que tenha como mantenedor o poder público assuma uma confessionalidade religiosa como orientadora de suas práticas. Para compreender como essas instituições operam, neste texto perscrutamos como os convênios são estabelecidos e como as ações destas instituições confessionais conveniadas obstaculizam o caráter do Estado laico. A metodologia consiste na análise de Projetos Políticos Pedagógicos (PPP) de quatro escolas confessionais de Campo Grande/MS, que são conveniadas com a Secretária do Estado de Educação do Mato Grosso do Sul. A análise documental possibilitou compreender que as práticas escolares e culturais nessas instituições, ocorrem em ambientes no qual a religiosidade tem espaço privilegiado, logo reúne condições favoráveis à constituição e manutenção de habitus religioso.
The Boston Naming Test-South African Short Form, Part I: Psychometric properties in a group of healthy English-speaking university students
Authors: Thomas Kevin G.F. , Baerecke Lauren , Pan Chen Y. , Ferrett Helen L.
Published: November 2019

The Boston Naming Test (BNT) is a popular cognitive test designed to detect word-finding difficulties in neurologic disease. However, numerous studies have demonstrated the BNT’s inherent cultural bias and cautioned against uncritical administration outside of North America. There is little research on the BNT performance of South African samples and on ways to make the test culturally fair for use in this country. In this article, we describe the development and psychometric properties of the BNT-South African Short Form (BNT-SASF). This instrument includes 15 items drawn from the original test pool and judged by a panel of practising neuropsychologists and community members to be culturally appropriate for use in South Africa. We administered the standard 60-item BNT and the BNT-SASF to a homogeneous (English-fluent, high socioeconomic status and highly educated) sample of young South African adults. This design allowed us to avoid potentially confounding sociodemographic influences in our evaluation of the instrument’s basic utility. We found that the BNT-SASF demonstrates fundamental psychometric properties that are the equivalent of short forms developed elsewhere. Moreover, it appears to measure the same construct as the 60-item BNT while being less culturally biased. We conclude that the BNT-SASF has potential utility in South African assessment settings. It is quick and easy to administer, thus aiding in the rapid screening of patients. Moreover, it is cost-effective because its items are drawn from the pool comprising the original test. Future research will describe psychometric properties of Afrikaans and isiXhosa versions of the BNT-SASF and investigate diagnostic validity in dementia patients.

Use of wireless communication networks in digitalization of factory environments
Authors: Paavola Jarkko , Rautava Tuomo , Hallio Juhani , Kalliovaara Juha , Jokela Tero
Published: November 2019

Wireless communications are rapidly taking an important role in factory environment. The current Wi-Fi technologies struggle to meet the requirements of industrial factories, for example with regard to latency and security. The emerging 5G communication networks are the first networks expected to meet such requirements. Private networks are owned by the factories themselves. Private networks can utilize 5G technologies to tailor the networks to meet the exact demands within the factory environment and guarantee that the factories can use the whole bandwidth for their own use. This concurrently increases the data security as the data does not need to be deliveved over public networks. This paper describes the latest developments in 5G with regard to private networks and Industry 4.0, which is the name given to the digitalization, automatization and data exchange trend currently ongoing in factory environments. In this paper we describe a private cellular network we have installed inside a factory building. This network has been trialed with wireless pyrometer measurement data transmission and environmental surveillance of a measurement laboratory. This paper analyses the suitability of private networks for these use cases and discusses in general which applications would benefit the most from private wireless networks.
Active Power Filter Shape Class Model Predictive Controller tuning by Multiobjective Optimization
Authors: Cateriano Yáñez Carlos , Richter Jörg , Pangalos Georg , Lichtenberg Gerwald , Sanchís Saez Javier
Published: November 2019

As the share of renewable energy sources (RES) in distribution grids increases, several power quality challenges arise. Due to its intermittent nature, RES lead to voltage and frequency fluctuations in the grid that affect power quality. Moreover, as RES are connected via power converters, there is also a higher harmonic distortion pollution introduced by the switching power electronics involved, (Liang, 2017). A proven solution is the implementation of Active Power Filters (APF), which are able to compensate the unbalanced, harmonic, and reactive components of a load under different supply conditions. In order to achieve the desired compensation characteristics, the selection of an appropriate control strategy is critical, (Kumar & Mishra, 2016). Classic APF control strategies achieve said goals, although with struggles under changing load scenarios with limitations on their operational modes, (Weihe, Cateriano Yáñez, Pangalos, & Lichtenberg, 2018).This paper proposes the use of an advanced model-based control method, i.e. Model Predictive Control (MPC), to improve the performance of APF devices. Model-based control methods allow for better performance when the model of the plant is known before hand or through measurements, the MPC extends this further by introducing a cost function that ensures optimal operation even under constraints, (Maciejowski, 2002). References Kumar, P., & Mishra, M.

How to scale the societal impact of work integration social enterprises? Evidence from The Netherlands
Authors: De Bell Leendert , Drupsteen Linda
Published: November 2019

The number of social enterprises is increasing rapidly. Social enterprises are looking for new, innovative and economically sustainable ways to tackle structural societal challenges that generally fall outside the direct focus and objectives of the public and private sector. Social enterprises are primarily mission-driven, where profit is not a goal in itself but a means of creating social impact with regard to a specific social problem. The intended impact areas of social enterprises broadly range from poverty reduction, sustainability, healthcare, or labor participation of vulnerable groups. With respect to the latter impact area, many initiatives have been taken across Europe to prevent and combat marginalization of vulnerable groups as a result of long unemployment spells, which may cause financial and social pressure, as well as decay of physical and psychological health conditions. Nevertheless, the nature and extent of these initiatives vary considerably across countries (CEDEFOP, 2018). Social enterprises, in collaboration with other relevant stakeholders such as ‘conventional’ companies or local governments, can play a key role in addressing these challenges. This proposal builds on research that was completed earlier this year at HU concerning the scaling of social enterprises with a particular focus on work integration of people with a distance to the labor market (so-called WISEs) (e.g. people with low qualifications, young people disengaged from education, people with mental or physical disabilities, refugees, former prisoners, former addicts, or people who have difficulties finding a job due to their age etc.). One of the outcomes of this research showed that it is difficult for WISEs to transcend its societal impact beyond the local level. In practice, the effective realization of both social and economic value is not easy for many WISEs, but the interaction with and between different actors in the external environment or ecosystem also plays a crucial role in its success. More research is needed on what works in successfully addressing the work integration of vulnerable groups in different parts of Europe, and under what conditions. The aim is to come to a joint EU research proposal, in which WISEs play a central role, to contribute to innovative and more structural solutions for labor participation of vulnerable groups.
Arduino-based prototype to estimate heat stress indices in urban environments
Authors: Vargas-Salgado Carlos , Montuori Lina , Bastida-Molina Paula , Alfoso-Solar David
Published: November 2019

Thermal comfort indices are normally used for assessing and controlling heat stress conditions in both: insides and outsides environment. In this paper, the results of the design and test of an Arduino-base prototype for estimating heat stress index is presented.  This prototype allows the accurate detection of wind speed, air temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, atmospheric pressure, irradiation and globe temperature. By means of these parameters, it is possible to obtain indices such as mean radiant temperature (MRT) and wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT). As a result, the indices are estimated, storage in a database and analyzed. These values will be used in the future to measure the mitigation of heat stress in urban environments, by means of the construction of green facades and green roof or tree planting.
Examination of sustainable and health-conscious lifestyle among the Hungarian population based on the results of three research studies

Published: November 2019

The implementation of sustainable development and the associated values in consumer behavior is becoming more and more emphasized as well as increased attention to our health. In both of the two value dimensions, consumer interest is constantly increasing, and demand for healthy and sustainable products is growing. In our research, this trend was primarily investigated in the field of food consumption. The research was based on the segmentation theory of NMI’s LOHAS (Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability). The research consisted of three parts. First, in a representative national survey, we examined the attachment of Hungarian adult consumers to the aforementioned values (N = 1000), then high school students (N = 1000), and finally, university students (N = 298) were interviewed on the same topic. In each case, principal component analysis was used to isolate the individual value dimensions and then cluster analysis was used to identify the various segments. In all of the three studies, each group was significantly separated from each other by the values of health consciousness and sustainable development. Based on our results, it can be concluded that the younger age group is more strongly committed to the tested values than the older generation. As a result, younger generations can be considered a potential consumer market for products and services representing sustainability and health awareness. We believe that further European research of this topic would be useful for both the researchers and the business sector.
Shaping future research agenda on Sustainability research within CARPE network
Authors: Eweg Erlijn , Rietbergen Martijn
Published: November 2019

Within the involved Higher Education Institutes of the CARPE network, many research groups are working on sustainability related topics. However, the expertise of these research group are not fully exploited if it comes to acquiring new opportunities for externally funded research projects. This proposed project aims at developing a research community among CARPE partners involved in sustainability research, to shape a joint future research agenda on sustainability research, and to acquire new funds effectively. We like to discuss how to develop a community that is better informed about eachothers activities and expertise, how we could strenghten the network on sustainability and explore if and how a commun research agenda could be valuable for us.

Published: November 2019

Higher Education Research and Development Center (CHERD) at the University of Debrecen performed several basic and applied research on Higher Education. Debrecen is a typical regional HE institution with international attraction in the peripheral area of EU. We performed a series of student surveys during the last decade, and we had the opportunity to reveal the process of gaining ground of non-traditional students in HE. Our center provides an inspiring context for  researchers, where they have opportunity to discuss  their formulating new research directions  and to interpretat data and research results together. The Center supports talent esplorations and -development. Both MA/PhD students and researchers with great experience work together as a learning community. Thus, the mutual transfer and exchange of experience makes possible a continuous teaching-learning process during the research. Further more the concentration of professional development increases a special form of social capital.
Ornament and Monstrosity in Early Modern Art
Authors: Hammeken Chris Askholt , Hansen Maria Fabricius , Morgan Luke , Uchacz Tianna Helena , Nygren Barnaby , Aristova Maria-Anna , Andersen Lisa , Connelly Frances , Wamberg Jacob
Published: November 2019

Early modern art features a remarkable fascination with ornament, both as decorative device and compositional strategy, across artistic media and genres. Interestingly, the inventive, elegant manifestations of ornament in the art of the period often include layers of disquieting paradoxes, creating tensions - monstrosities even - that manifest themselves in a variety of ways. In some cases, dichotomies (between order and chaos, artificiality and nature, rational logic and imaginative creativity, etc.) may emerge. Elsewhere, a sense of agitation undermines structures of statuesque control or erupts into wild, unruly displays of constant genesis. The monstrosity of ornament is brought into play through strategies of hybridity and metamorphosis, or by the handling of scale, proportion, and space in ambiguous and discomforting ways that break with the laws of physical reality. An interest in strange exaggeration and curious artifice allows for such colossal ornamental attitude to thrive within early modern art.
The Cultural Legacy of the Royal Game of the Goose
Authors: Seville Adrian
Published: November 2019

The Game of the Goose is one of the oldest printed board games, dating back 400 years. It has spawned thousands of derivatives: simple race games, played with dice, on themes that mirror much of human activity. Its legacy can be traced in games of education, advertising and polemic, as well as in those of amusement and gambling - and games on new themes are still being developed. This book, by the leading international collector of the genre, is devoted to showing why the Game of the Goose is special and why it can lay claim to being the most influential of any printed game in the cultural history of Europe. Detailed study of the games reveals their historical provenance and - reversing the process - gives unusual insights into the cultures which produced them. They therefore provide rich sources for the cultural historian. This book is beautifully illustrated with more than 90 illustrations, many in color, which are integrated throughout the text.
Kashmir as a Borderland
Authors: Mato Bouzas Antía , Schendel Willem , Harris Tina
Published: November 2019

Kashmir as a Borderland: The Politics of Space and Belonging across the Line of Control examines the Kashmir dispute from both sides of the Line of Control (LoC) and within the theoretical frame of border studies. It draws on the experiences of those living in these territories such as divided families, traders, cultural and social activists. Kashmir is a borderland, that is, a context for spatial transformations, where the resulting interactions can be read as a process of ‘becoming’ rather than of ‘being’. The analysis of this borderland shows how the conflict is manifested in territory, in specific locations with a geopolitical meaning, evidencing the discrepancy between ‘representation’ and the ‘living’. The author puts forward the concept of belonging as a useful category for investigating more inclusive political spaces.
Atmospheric radiocarbon measurements to quantify CO2 emissions in the UK from 2014 to 2015
Authors: Wenger Angelina , Pugsley Katherine , O'Doherty Simon , Rigby Matt , Manning Alistair J. , Lunt Mark F. , White Emily D.
Published: November 2019

Abstract. We present Δ14CO2 observations and related
greenhouse gas measurements at a background site in Ireland (Mace Head, MHD) and a tall tower
site in the east of the UK (Tacolneston, TAC) that is more strongly influenced by fossil fuel
sources. These observations have been used to calculate the contribution of
fossil fuel sources to the atmospheric CO2 mole fractions; this can be
done, as emissions from fossil fuels do not contain 14CO2 and
cause a depletion in the observed Δ14CO2 value. The
observations are compared to simulated values. Two corrections need to be
applied to radiocarbon-derived fossil fuel CO2 (ffCO2): one for
pure 14CO2 emissions from nuclear industry sites and one for a
disequilibrium in the isotopic signature of older biospheric emissions
(heterotrophic respiration) and CO2 in the atmosphere. Measurements
at both sites were found to only be marginally affected by 14CO2
emissions from nuclear sites. Over the study period of 2014–2015, the
biospheric correction and the correction for nuclear 14CO2 emissions were similar at 0.34 and 0.25 ppm ffCO2 equivalent,
respectively. The observed ffCO2 at the TAC tall tower site was not significantly
different from simulated values based on the EDGAR 2010 bottom-up inventory.
We explored the use of high-frequency CO observations as a tracer of
ffCO2 by deriving a constant ratio of CO enhancements to ffCO2
ratio for the mix of UK fossil fuel sources. This ratio was found to be 5.7 ppb ppm−1, close to the value predicted using inventories and the
atmospheric model of 5.1 ppb ppm−1. The TAC site, in the east of the UK, was
strategically chosen to be some distance from pollution sources so as to
allow for the observation of well-integrated air masses. However, this distance from pollution sources and
the large measurement uncertainty in 14CO2 lead to a large
overall uncertainty in the ffCO2, being around 1.8 ppm compared to
typical enhancements of 2 ppm.
Strong Sensitivity of the Isotopic Composition of Methane to the Plausible Range of Tropospheric Chlorine
Authors: Strode Sarah A. , Wang James S. , Manyin Michael , Duncan Bryan , Hossaini Ryan , Keller Christoph A. , Michel Sylvia E. , White James W. C.
Published: November 2019

Abstract. The 13C isotopic ratio of methane, δ13C of CH4, provides additional constraints on the CH4 budget to complement the constraints from CH4 observations. The interpretation of δ13C observations is complicated, however, by uncertainties in the methane sink. The reaction of CH4 with Cl is highly fractionating, increasing the relative abundance of 13CH4, but there is currently no consensus on the strength of the tropospheric Cl sink. We use a set of GEOS global model simulations with different predicted Cl fields to test the sensitivity of the δ13C of CH4 to the diversity of Cl output from chemical transport models. We find that δ13C is highly sensitive to both the amount and geographic distribution of Cl. Simulatlons with Cl providing 0.28 % or 0.66 % of the total CH4 loss bracket the δ13C observations for a fixed set of emissions. Thus, even when Cl provides only a small fraction of the total CH4 loss and has a small impact on total CH4, it provides a strong lever on δ13C. The geographic distribution and seasonal cycle of Cl also impacts the hemispheric gradient and seasonal cycle of δ13C. The large effect of Cl on δ13C compared to total CH4 broadens the range of CH4 source mixtures that can be reconciled with δ13C observations. Stronger constraints on tropospheric Cl are necessary to improve estimates of CH4 sources from δ13C observations.
Quantile Sampling: a robust and simplified pixel-based multiple-point simulation approach

Published: November 2019

Abstract. Multiple-point geostatistics enable the realistic simulation of complex spatial structures by inferring statistics from a training image. These methods are typically computationally expensive and require complex algorithmic parametrizations. The approach that is presented in this paper is easier to use than existing algorithms, as it requires few independent algorithmic parameters. It is natively designed for handling continuous variables, and quickly implemented by capitalizing on standard libraries. The algorithm can handle incomplete training images of any dimensionality, with categorical or/and continuous variables, and stationarity is not explicitly required. It is possible to perform unconditional or conditional simulations, even with exhaustively informed covariates. The method provides new degrees of freedom by allowing kernel weighting for pattern matching. Computationally, it is adapted to modern architectures and runs in constant time. The approach is benchmarked against a state-of-the-art method. An efficient open-source implementation of the algorithm is released and can be found here (https://github.com/GAIA-UNIL/G2S), to promote reuse and further evolution.

Abstract. The magmatism (including volcanism) in East Asia (or China) could provide key clues and age constraints for the subduction and
dynamical process of the Paleo-Pacific Plate. Although many absolute
isotope ages of extrusive rocks have been published in the 1980s–2000s,
large uncertainties and large errors prevent the magmatism in southeast (SE) China from
being well understood. In this study, we investigate the zircon
geochronology of extrusive rocks and temporospatial variations in the late
Mesozoic volcanism in SE China. We reported zircon U–Pb ages of
new 48 extrusive rock samples in the Shi-Hang tectonic belt. Together with
the published data in the past decade, ages of 291 rock samples from
∼40 lithostratigraphic units were compiled, potentially
documenting a relatively complete history and spatial distribution of the
late Mesozoic volcanism in SE China. The results show that the extrusive
rocks spanned ∼95 Myr (177–82 Ma), but dominantly
∼70 Myr (160–90 Ma), within which the volcanism in the early
Early Cretaceous (145–125 Ma) was the most intensive and widespread
eruption. We propose that these ages represent the intervals of the
Yanshanian volcanism in SE China. Spatially, the age geographic pattern of
extrusive rocks shows that both the oldest and youngest age clusters occur
in the coastal magmatic arc (eastern Zhejiang and Fujian), and the most
intensive and widespread age group (145–125 Ma) occurs in a back arc or rifting basin (eastern Jiangxi, central Zhejiang, and northern Guangdong), implying
that the late Mesozoic volcanism migrated northwest and subsequently
retreated southeast. This volcanic migration pattern may imply that the
Paleo-Pacific Plate subducted northwestward and the roll-back subduction did
not begin until the Aptian (∼125 Ma) of the mid-Cretaceous.

Scaphander Montfort, 1810, is a genus of deep-sea, soft-bottom gastropods composed of approximately 23 species distributed worldwide. The systematics of the genus in the Atlantic was recently revised and eight species were recognized. The present study describes a new species
(Scaphander meridionalis sp. n.) from the Argentine continental slope using morphological and molecular data. Shells, gizzard plates, radulae, and male reproductive systems were studied by optical and scanning electron microscopy and compared with data from all other known Scaphander
species. Bayesian molecular phylogenetics based on two mitochondrial (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and 16S rRNA) and one nuclear (28S rRNA) genes together with the molecular species delimitation method Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery were used to compare the novel samples with all
known Atlantic species. Our results revealed that the Argentinian specimens have a distinct shell and penial papilla and were molecularly 6.35–6.53%, 6.9–7.44%, and 7.99–8.89% distinct (COI uncorrected p-distance) from their closest relatives, the Pacific species Scaphander
grandis and Scaphander mundus, and the northern Atlantic species Scaphander nobilis, respectively. Scaphander meridionalis sp. n. is the first species only known from the South Atlantic and its occurrence off Argentina represents a new southern geographical limit of
the distribution of the genus in the Atlantic Ocean.

Lesión de Dieulafoy en el yeyuno. Presentación de caso y revisión de la literatura
Authors: Durán López César Augusto , Durón Flor De Azalea
Published: November 2019

La lesión de Dieulafoy es una causa poco frecuente de sangrado digestivo, en especial de sangrado digestivo bajo. Consiste en la presencia de un vaso arterial de gran calibre en la submucosa del tracto digestivo, que en algún momento sufre erosión de la mucosa supra yacente y la pared vascular provocando hemorragia intermitente, potencialmente fatal. El caso que se describe es el primero de lesión de Dieulafoy localizada en el yeyuno reportado en la literatura médica hondureña e ilustra su presentación clínica y los hallazgos anatomopatológicos encontrados en la autopsia de un paciente masculino de 42 años que falleció por choque hipovolémico. El diagnóstico de la lesión de Dieulafoy es histopatológico y se hace en las resecciones quirúrgicas o la autopsia, sin embargo, sus características endoscópicas permiten diagnosticarla con alguna seguridad y tratarla, salvando la vida del paciente sin requerir otros procedimientos mayores. En el presente caso, el paciente no pudo ser sometido a endoscopia porque se mantuvo hemodinámicamente inestable, sin poderse tratar, ni determinar la región del sangrado para guiar al cirujano en la laparotomía. El objetivo de esta publicación es comunicar acerca de una causa poco frecuente de sangrado digestivo, que siempre debe considerarse en el diagnóstico clínico diferencial y los hallazgos encontrados en la autopsia, ya que estos no son reportados con frecuencia en la literatura.
