Authors: MILLENA COELHO COSTA ARYJANE , Junior Francisco Messias da Costa
Published: June 2020

Tendo em vista o dinamismo proporcionado pelo tempo que nos traz novos avanços nos mais diferenciados âmbitos da vida, busca-se com este trabalho, de forma diversificada, mostrar que a esfera familiar sofreu intensas modificações estruturais, o que levou os legisladores a fazerem importantes alterações nas normas já existentes e a criarem novos institutos capazes de solucionar os problemas surgidos com a nova estrutura familiar. Com o objetivo de alcançar um novo entendimento da esfera jurídica contemporânea, busca-se fazer uma abordagem sobre as mutações que vem sofrendo o Direito de Família no que se refere à Paternidade Socioafetiva. Para tanto, será feito um breve entendimento sobre as transformações que passou o Direito de Família desde a codificação de 1916, a Constituição Federal de 1988 até o Código Civil de 2002; a definição de parentesco; a paternidade socioafetiva, com uma breve análise jurisprudencial do assunto em exame.

Published: June 2020

Junto com o grande crescimento da tecnologia da informação crescem também as formas de ataques cibernéticos que ameaçam a segurança da informação. Uma dessas ameaças, que além de perigosa é desconhecida por muitos é a Engenharia Social, que busca obter informações enganando usuários. Ela abrange um grande conjunto de técnicas para chegar ao seu objetivo, e a mais utilizada é o Phishing cujo significado é pescar.  Desta forma, é de extrema importância o conhecimento por parte de empresas e usuários sobre como ocorrem e funcionam essas técnicas. Para tanto se fez necessário um estudo em bibliografias de autores renomados, que embasaram o desenvolvimento desta pesquisa. O objetivo principal se propõe a mostrar e analisar o funcionamento da técnica Phishing, para isso foram analisados dois estudos de casos, com detalhes de como ocorre o ataque e elaboradas políticas de segurança da informação, sendo uma proativa e outra reativa que se implementadas corretamente aumentam a segurança empresarial contra tipos de ataques de Engenharia Social, principalmente o Phishing. Em suma as políticas de segurança criadas podem oferecer um maior nível de segurança se aplicadas corretamente, porém somente o uso delas não apresenta uma total garantia de segurança contra todos os tipos de ataques de Engenharia Social e Phishing.

Published: June 2020

O presente trabalho de conclusão de curso estuda a justiça restaurativa e os princípios constitucionais penais de forma a verificar se a implementação do modelo restaurativo é uma modernização ou desestatização do jus puniendi estatal. Nesse sentido, em um primeiro momento estuda os aspectos gerais da justiça restaurativa. Já em um segundo momento, averigua-se os princípios constitucionais penais e sua importância para o ordenamento jurídico brasileiro. Derradeiramente, verifica-se se há compatibilidade dos princípios constitucionais penais com a implementação da justiça restaurativa, analisando ainda as críticas relevantes no que diz respeito a referida implementação. A fim de alcançar o objetivo do presente trabalho, utiliza-se pesquisas bibliográficas, por meio de livros, teses, artigos científicos, para assim verificar se a justiça restaurativa de algum modo viola os princípios constitucionais penais e se sua implementação é devidamente compatível com o ditames constitucionais do ordenamento jurídico vigente.
SEÇİLMİŞ BAZI ÜLKELERDE SIĞINMACI EĞİTİM POLİTİKALARI VE UYGULAMALARINA BİR BAKIŞ
Authors: SAKLAN Emine
Published: June 2020

Dünya üzerinde savaşların şiddetlenerek devam etmesi, insanların ekonomik olarak darboğazda kalması, yerlerinden edilmesi ve işsizlik gibi nedenler milyonlarca kişinin kendilerine çeşitli haklar sağladıklarına inanılan gelişmiş Avrupa ülkelerine göç etmelerine yol açmaktadır. Göç edenlerin uzun vadede göç ettikleri ülkede kaldıkları ve ülkenin sosyal, politik ve ekonomik yapısına uyum sağlamaya çalıştıkları düşünüldüğünde ülkeler için en öncelikli konulardan biri kuşkusuz sığınmacıların uyumu olmaktadır. OECD ülkeleri sığınmacıların işgücü piyasalarına uyum sağlamaları ve topluma katılımlarının gerçekleştirilebilmesi ve gelecekte ekonomik büyümenin sağlanabilmesi için eğitimin son derece önemli olduğu görüşündedirler. Eğitime, göçe ve sığınmacılık olgusuna dair geliştirilen politikaların ülkelerin gelişmişlik seviyesine göre değiştiği ve uygulamalarda farklılıklar görüldüğü söylenebilir. Gelişmiş ülkelerde sığınmacılara yönelik hazırlık eğitim süreçleri ve uyum programları uygulanırken, gelişmekte olan ülkelerde sığınmacılar doğrudan eğitim süreçlerine dahil edilebilmektedirler. Bu araştırmada Avrupa ülkeleri arasında en fazla göç alan İsveç, Almanya ve Avusturya’nın sığınmacı eğitim politikaları ve uygulamalarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada veriler, Uluslararası Kalkınma ve İşbirliği Örgütü (OECD), Global Migration Data Analysis Centre (GMDAC), Birleşmiş Milletler Mülteciler Yüksek Komiserliği (UNHCR) gibi kuruluşların yayınladığı raporlar ve seçilmiş ülkelerin sığınmacı eğitimleri ile ilgili yayınlanmış akademik makaleler esas alınarak oluşturulmuş ve doküman incelemesi yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir.
Equality of opportunities for next generation researchers in Europe: a snapshot discussion motivated by the ERC statistics
Authors: Žagar Nedjeljka , Schäfer Thomas
Published: June 2020

Abstract. This paper reflects on the results of a survey carried
out within the COST TN1301 Sci-Generation network among the holders of ERC
starting grants originating from countries of Central and Eastern Europe.
The results of the survey reveal a greater personal satisfaction of the
grant holders when carrying out the ERC-funded research in their native
countries following successful PhD and/or post-doctoral periods in Western
Europe and the USA. On the downside, a tenacious administration appears to
be the largest burden for a new generation of successful researchers. It is
discussed how the the statistics of ERC starting grants is a mirror of host
countries' and host institutions' ability to attract and keep the most
talented young researchers.

Published: June 2020

Abstract. Early season crop identification is of great importance for monitoring crop growth and predicting yield for decision-makers and private sectors. As one of the largest producers of winter wheat worldwide, China outputs more than 18% of the global production of winter wheat. However, there are no distribution maps of winter wheat over a large spatial extent with high spatial resolution. In this study, we applied a phenology-based approach to distinguish winter wheat from other crops by comparing the similarity of the seasonal changes of satellite-based vegetation index over all croplands with a standard seasonal change derived from known winter wheat fields. Especially, this study examined the potential of early season large-area mapping of winter wheat and developed accurate winter wheat maps with 30 m spatial resolution for three years (2016–2018) over eleven provinces, which produce more than 98 % of the winter wheat in China. A comprehensive assessment based on survey samples revealed producer' and user' accuracies higher than 89.30 % and 90.59 %, respectively. The winter wheat map exhibited good correspondence with the agricultural census area data at the municipal and county levels. In addition, the earliest identifiable time of the geographical location of winter wheat was achieved by the end of March, giving a lead time of approximately three months before harvest, and the optimal identifiable time of winter wheat was at the end of April with an overall accuracy of 89.88 %. These results are expected to aid in the timely monitoring of crop conditions. The 30 m winter wheat maps in China are available via an open-data repository (DOI: http://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.12003990, Dong et al., 2020).
The Influence of Turbulent Mixing on the Subsurface Chlorophyll Maximum Layer in the Northern South China Sea
Authors: Shang Chenjing , Liang Changrong , Chen Guiying , Gao Yongli
Published: June 2020

Abstract. We present observations from deployments of a turbulent microstructure instrument and a CTD package in the northern South China Sea from April to May 2010. From these we determined the turbulent mixing (dissipation rate ε and diapycnal diffusivity κ), nutrients (phosphate, nitrate, and nitrite), nutrient fluxes, and chlorophyll a (Chl-a) in two transects (A and B). Transect A was located in region far away from the Luzon Strait where turbulent mixing in the upper 100 m was weak (κ~10−6–10−4 m2 s−1). Transect B was located in region near the Luzon Strait where the turbulent mixing in the upper 100 m was strong (κ~10−5–10−3 m2 s−1) due to the influence of the internal waves originating from the Luzon strait and the water intrusion from the western Pacific. In both transects, there was a thin subsurface chlorophyll maximum layer (SCML) (0.3–0.7 mg m−3) nested in the water column between ~50 and 100 m. The observations indicate that effects of turbulent mixing on the distributions of nutrient and Chl-a were different in different transects. In transect with weak turbulent mixing, nutrient fluxes induced by turbulent mixing transported nutrients to the SCML but not to the upper water. Nutrients were sufficient to maintain a local SCML phytoplankton population and the SCML remained compact. In transect with strong turbulent mixing, nutrient fluxes induced by turbulent mixing transported nutrients not only to the SCML but also to the upper water, which scatters the nutrients in the water column, and weakens and diffuses the SCML.

Long-term outcomes after radical or partial nephrectomy for T1a renal cell carcinoma: A population-based study
Authors: Nayan Madhur , Saarela Olli , Lawson Keith , Martin Lisa , Komisarenko Maria , Finelli Antonio
Published: June 2020

Introduction: The benefit of partial nephrectomy (PN) compared to radical nephrectomy (RN) for T1a renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remains uncertain, with observational studies conflicting with level 1 evidence. Therefore, the purpose of this population-based study was to compare long-term outcomes in patients undergoing PN or RN for T1a RCC.

Methods: We studied 5670 patients in Ontario, Canada undergoing PN or RN for T1a RCC. The primary outcome was overall survival (OS). Secondary outcomes were cancer-specific survival (CSS), chronic kidney disease (CKD), end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and myocardial infarction (MI). We used multivariable Cox proportional hazard models to evaluate the association between PN or RN and these outcomes. A sensitivity analysis was performed in patients with a preoperative serum creatinine available.

Results: Median followup was 77 months. Compared to RN, PN was associated with significantly improved OS (hazard ratio [HR] 0.73; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.63–0.84), reduced risk of CKD (HR 0.18; 95% CI 0.12–0.27) and improved CSS (HR 0.45; 95% CI 0.30–0.65). The risk of myocardial infarction was not significantly different between groups (HR 0.91; 95% CI 0.62–1.34). Few patients (n=15) required renal replacement therapy. In the sensitivity analysis, the association between type of surgery and OS and CKD persisted, while the association with CSS did not.

Conclusions: Our study found that in patients undergoing surgery for T1a RCC, PN was associated with improved OS and reduced risk of CKD compared to RN. However, few patients in either group developed ESRD requiring renal replacement therapy.
Framing of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) in Elite Press of India and Afghanistan (2015-2017)

Published: June 2020

$1 trillion Belt Road Initiative (BRI)’s China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) component is a dimensional shift in Sino-Pak relations and a conception of shared future being heralded as the game changer for Pakistan as well as for the whole region. As a nodal part of the China’s ambitious Belt & Road Initiative that envisage to improve connectivity on transcontinental scale by connecting China to Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, the CPEC has come under attention of international media, policy makers, economists and academicians. This study discusses the framing of CPEC in press of India and China. India being territorial neighbors and China being the investor shares certain interests, reservations and apprehensions related to CPEC. Two English newspapers from China (China Daily & Global Times) and India (Indian Express & The Hindu) were selected and all the news and editorials related to CPEC were analyzed for the period of 2015-2017. Finding reveals that India’s press is covering CPEC more in terms of strategic and conflict perspective rather than infrastructure and connectivity aspects. However, the Chinese press covers CPEC in broader context of BRI and globalization hence connectivity, development, strategic value and economic paybacks are the dominant frames. Moreover, framing of CPEC varies over the time in the press of India and China. Study suggests that policy making is needed to reduce the negative stance and communication differences of international press towards CPEC. Findings imply that Pakistan should made efforts to develop better relations with neighboring countries by engaging them with CPEC as a project of development, mutual benefit and regional integration.
Obstetric Safety: The Security Apparatus Enhanced the Self-Efficiency of Medical Students in Vaginal Birth Practice in a Simulation Trial
Authors: Krungkraipetch Kitti
Published: June 2020

Currently, the safety of patients is an integral part of clinical practice, especially within medical schools. The safety device and the environment had to be concerned when medical education modules were set up. One of the most worriers in obstetrical practice among undergraduates was vaginal birth training. The inadequate safety instrument in training made students loss of their self-reliance and competence. This study aimed to test the effect of a new safety apparatus on the self-confidence and clinical performance of undergraduates on vaginal birth training. The medical students were randomized to this sample and split into two groups for two vaginal birth simulation stations; convention and intervention. The participants’ self-confidence assessment was carried out at the end of trial. In addition, clinical performance ratings on vaginal birth simulation were analyzed by experts during the experiments. There was 40 medical students attended to this trial and found a significant statistical increment in GSE and CPAT scores in the intervention trial. All volunteers were satisfied with the new safety equipment and more confident to taking care of mothers in vaginal birth practices. We concluded that this innovation could boost the confidence of medical students in vaginal birth practices and increase their clinical performance in simulation. However, it needs to be checked again in the workplace.
Estimation of Recoil Energy of Water-Jet Disruptor
Authors: PARATE Bhupesh Ambadas , CHANDEL Sunil , SHEKHAR Himanshu
Published: June 2020

Water is used as a liquid projectile in a disruptor for destruction of various dangerous objects such as improvised explosive devices (IED’s). This weapon is light weight and experiences certain recoil during a firing action. As there is motion between a projectile and a barrel, a recoil is experienced by the weapon. The recoil of weapon works on a conservation of momentum equation which is based on Newton’s second law of motion. A water-jet is created due to intense gas generation by a propellant burning inside the cartridge. The gas energy obtained by burning the propellant is responsible for pushing the projectile in a forward direction through the barrel. Due to gas generation by propellant burning, there is forward motion of the projectile. An attempt is made to determine the theoretical recoil velocity, its energy for the projectile in a water-jet application. The minimum and maximum recoil velocities of a water-jet varies from 2.311 m/s to 2.611 m/s. The order of magnitude for the recoil velocities is small and can be compared with a recoil of small calibre weapons that these weapons experienced during a firing mode. Based on recoil velocities, minimum and maximum kinetic energies of recoil parts are determined as 3.73 kJ and 4.77 kJ, respectively. The maximum gas force experienced by the projectile is worked out as 13.46 kN. The minimum and maximum energies to overcome the resistance force are determined as 14.657 J and 18.711 J, respectively. A small exercise for spring design is also covered.
Positive and negative effects of trauma in patients after myocardial infarction: the role of type D personality
Authors: Ogińska-Bulik Nina , Gurowiec Piotr Jerzy
Published: June 2020

Background: Experiencing a myocardial infarction threatens the health and life of the patient; therefore, it can be perceived as a traumatic event. Indeed, myocardial infarction may result in negative consequences, including symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, it is also possible to experience positive effects from traumatic events, which is expressed as posttraumatic growth. Personality characteristics, including type D (i.e., distressed) personality, are among several factors that have been shown determine the occurrence of negative and positive consequences after exposure to trauma.
Aim of the study: The aim of the present study was to establish the role of distressed personality in the occurrence of negative and positive effects of trauma resulting from myocardial infarction.
Material and methods: The study included a total of 80 patients after myocardial infarction. Sixty-three patients aged 43-85 years (M=67, SD=10.76) were included in the final analysis. The majority of respondents were men (61.9%). Patients completed a survey with three standardized measurement tools: the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5), the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), and the Type D Scale (DS-14).
Results: Negative affectivity was positively associated with PTSD symptoms, and this association was strongest for negative changes in cognition or mood. Social inhibition was not associated with PTSD symptoms, except for increased arousal and reactivity. Both dimensions of type D personality were positively related to one factor of posttraumatic growth: changes in the spiritual sphere.
Conclusions: Reducing the severity of negative affectivity may decrease PTSD symptoms and thus contribute to improved psychosocial functioning among patients who have experienced myocardial infarction.
El estrangulador poeta
Authors: Tyras Geoges
Published: June 2020

Una ferviente actividad poética, anterior al cultivo de la prosa y colocada bajo idénticos auspicios axiológicos, caracteriza la labor creadora de Manuel Vázquez Montalbán. El estrangulador (Mondadori, 1994), es un caso paradigmático de la fecundación semántica de la prosa por la poesía : un texto poético articula las dos partes de la novela. Titulado “La ciudad”, resulta ser, con algunas muy leves modificaciones, el poema que en la versión unitaria final Ciudad, será la última pieza, con el número “El siete”. La existencia de este poema primigenio, su papel germinal en la elaboración del poemario Ciudad y su importancia en la economía de la novela El estrangulador corrobora la existencia en la obra de Manuel Vázquez Montalbán de textos migrantes que, de un género a otro, hacen resonar no sólo sus propias armónicas, sino las del texto del que provienen.

Quinteto de Buenos Aires: La educación sentimental de Pepe Carvalho
Authors: Ríos-Font Wadda C.
Published: June 2020

Este trabajo se acerca a la novela Quinteto de Buenos Aires (1997) de Manuel Vázquez Montalbán desde la perspectiva de teorías de la afectividad, trazando cómo en ella la racionalidad convencional tanto del género detectivesco como de la Serie Carvalho en etapas anteriores da paso a un proceso por el cual el protagonista, personalmente implicado en el caso que investiga, atraviesa una trayectoria primordialmente sentimental. El estilo fragmentado que recuerda la composición musical, y la trama del misterio, en cuya resolución Carvalho finalmente ocupa una posición casi tangencial, eluden cualquier avance lineal hacia el descubrimiento y la justicia. Mediante entrecruzamientos, reduplicaciones entre situaciones y personajes, y un complejo entramado de relaciones intertextuales e interartísticas, la novela deviene una épica de genealogías interrumpidas que termina en algo más parecido a una catarsis que a la restauración simbólica de un orden moral o la superación de un pacto de olvido. En lugar de estos posibles objetivos, puede hablarse de la historia narrada sobre todo como ejercicio de subversión emocional de regímenes opresivos apoyados, como las dictaduras española y argentina, en la regulación de lo afectivo.

Viajes al futuro y sociedad del simulacro: Modernidad, Disneyficación y ruinas de la resistencia en Quinteto de Buenos Aires de Manuel Vázquez Montalban
Authors: Nichols William
Published: June 2020

A lo largo de la obra de Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, tanto en las obras dentro de la serie Carvalho como fuera y en la producción de libros no-ficción, el viaje sirve para como ímpetu narrativo además de eje temático para indagar las contradicciones de la globalización y explorar la memoria como estrategia de resistencia. Por un lado, el viaje ofrece una metáfora que evoca la supuesta disolución de las fronteras dentro del contexto globalizado y el libre movimiento de personas, productos, y capital. Por otro, la mirada crítica del viajero cuestiona la autenticidad de la sociedad globalizada que esconde los escombros del pasado bajo las superficies lisas y brillantes de las ciudades rediseñadas bajo la lógica Disney del simulacro. El viaje está presente en la producción literaria de Vázquez Montalbán desde la primera apariencia de Carvalho en Yo maté a Kennedy hasta los últimos tomos de Milenio I y II. El propósito de este ensayo es analizar la estructura del viaje en Quinteto en Buenos Aires como una investigación que cuestiona capacidad de resistir la globalización, encontrar la autenticidad cultural, y preservar la memoria y el pensamiento crítico. En este ensayo, el autor considerará a Vázquez Montalbán como una voz profética que anunciaba los efectos demoledores para el pensamiento crítico con la creación del “Gran consumidor” que él describía en Panfleto desde el planeta de los simios.

Published: June 2020

El ensayo trata de sentar las bases bibliográficas para elaborar una arqueología de la relación de la obra de Manuel Vázquez Montalbán con Latinoamérica. Por un lado, intenta recoger e inventariar la abundante y dispersa obra montalbaniana sobre temas relacionados con Latinoamérica, diseminada a lo largo de numerosos libros de ensayo, novelas, poemas, artículos y columnas periodísticas, amén de prólogos de libros y entrevistas. Un repaso a los libros publicados por Vázquez Montalbán con foco específicamente latinoamericano, ya sean ensayos, novelas, entrevistas u obras de nuevo periodismo, nos indica con claridad ciertas áreas de atención primordial en sus reflexiones sobre Latinoamérica. Igualmente, la revisión de los artículos y columnas periodísticas de Vázquez Montalbán sobre Latinoamérica constituye toda una arqueología que demuestra igualmente la atención especial por los aspectos políticos que han conformado la historia de Latinoamérica en los últimos cincuenta años. Por otro lado, se trata también de crear un archivo de referencias críticas acerca de la obra de Vázquez Montalbán con acentos latinoamericanos, para que ambas conjuntamente sirvan de base sobre la que poder ir articulando las piezas de una siempre creciente bibliografía para estudiosos y lectores de la obra de Vázquez Montalbán a ambos lados del Atlántico.

Imagepflege nach dem Fürsorgeprinzip. Eine Analyse der kommunikativen Optionen der Kirche in der Geflüchtetenhilfe
Authors: Evers Tanja , Kay Ramona
Published: June 2020

Die Kirche wird in der jüngeren Vergangenheit nicht nur als moralische Instanz, sondern vermehrt auch als politische Stimme wahrgenommen. Aktuell strukturiert sie Integrationsprozesse Geflüchteter mit und schafft strukturelle Rahmenbedingungen für die hauptund ehrenamtliche Arbeit im Handlungsfeld Flucht und Asyl. Welche kommunikative Rolle der Kirche dabei zugeschrieben wird und inwieweit die Unterstützung der Flüchtlingshilfe der Institution Kirche zu mehr Reputation verhelfen kann, sind Fragen, mit denen sich die Studie „Evaluation der Arbeit mit Geflüchteten in Oberbayern“ auseinandersetzt. Während Haupt- und Ehrenamt die finanzielle Hilfe und Bereitstellung von Infrastruktur und Personal loben, fordern sie von der Kirche jedoch eine stärkere politische Positionierung im öffentlichen Diskurs um Zuwanderung.
Perceived Job Quality in German Minijobs. A Multidimensional Analysis of Work in Marginal Part-time Employment RelationshipsDate submitted: August 23, 2018Revised version accepted after double-blind review: February 11, 2019.
Authors: Beckmann Fabian
Published: June 2020

Minijobs, a special form of part-time employment, have developed into an established form of employment on the German labour market since the 1990s. They are heavily criticised for their potential labour market effects, their impact on employees’ social security and their bad working conditions. Due to the multiple risks, minijobs are often considered as prime examples of low-quality jobs. However, to date there has been hardly any research dealing with the subjective perception of the work situation of minijobbers, resulting in a minijob debate without minijobbers’ views. This article examines the perceived job quality in minijobs. Based on a quantitative survey, different dimensions of work in minijobs are being analysed, concentrating on the relationship between desired and experienced work situations. Moreover, the global job satisfaction of minijobbers and its predictors are investigated. The analysis shows that minijobs are evaluated positively regarding many intrinsic, social and health-related aspects of work and that the overall job evaluation is significantly correlated to the perceived job quality. The study underlines the need for multidimensional and subjective approaches to job quality as well as a nuanced critique of minijobs which has to differentiate between the institutional regulation, the working conditions and employees’ subjective perception.
Mythische Räume der Gesetzlosigkeit in Erzählungen über Robin Hood, Klaus Störtebeker und Jesse James
Authors: Haller Andreas J.
Published: June 2020

This book attends to three outlaw heroes from England, Germany, and North America. Robin Hood, Klaus Stoertebeker, and Jesse James still fascinate people today. The myth of the outlaw expresses social discourses about law and justice, government and resistance, and sovereignty and legitimacy. Stories in which robbers, pirates, or bandits advance to become rebels and heroes give literary form to the contradictions of the legal order. Law has a social and spatial aspect. The depiction of historio-spatial constellations in the narratives reveals how law is imagined as a social relation. This study of mythic spaces of lawlessness opens up a new perspective on the meaning of heroic outlawry as a phenomenon of social and spatial transgression.

Published: June 2020

Hydrogeologists and other water experts agree on that the effective groundwater management requires: firstly, a good understanding of the aquifer system; secondly, identification of practical measures to control abstraction; and thirdly, improvement in groundwater resource through artificial recharge. A 16 years’ pumping test and drilling lithology data and productive 29 wells were used to characterize the aquifer parameters of the Hawassa City, Ethiopia. The aquifer system was characterized physically, potentially, spatially, quantitatively, and qualitatively using AquiferTest software by applying Moench method to pumping test response data considering the basic assumptions in the model. Weathered and fractured pumice, basalt Scoriaceous rocks, fine-to-coarse-grained sand, and weathered ignimbrites are major water-bearing formations found from the analysis. High porosity and permeability due to these fractures are found to be a risk for the easy contamination of the ground water from surface wastes especially at the shallow aquifer water areas. Spatially, the southern corner and the lake shore of the city were identified as a huge potential area. Percentage of recovery results are 95–100% and transmissivity varies from 4.77 × 10−4 m2/s to 1.75 × 101 m2/s. This follows the general pattern of increasing value from east to west, that is, the value increases from the upper part of the basin to the lower. Moreover, the annual ground flow vector map of the area was developed using static water level data to see the direction of subsurface flow in the area. Accordingly, a large magnitude of water flowing from the central and west directions to the lake shore is identified showing similar profile with the surface flow.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer worldwide, deteriorating approximately 1000,000 lives. Annually rising HCC to the third most common cause of cancer mortality. Liver cancer varies geographically depending on multimodality treatments available for this heterogeneous malignancy. Conglomeration of treatments has been exercised to manage this type of cancer across distinct geographic regions. Unprecedented rise of scientific knowledge mining from the published literature is a boon to develop novel treatment modalities. We aim to focus such pharmacological aspects in HCC treatment that could effectively display the improved therapies. Extrapolating the details of liver cancer (classification, diagnosis, adequate treatments, therapeutic engineering involved in the therapy, causes, epidemiology, and survival ratio) and the result obtained through this research could be a magnificent approach in the advancement of drug delivery systems that could assist in clinical trials and further betterment of survival rate and improved therapy from this deadly cancer.
Cystic Fibrosis-Related Diabetes (CFRD)
Authors: Ballmann Manfred
Published: June 2020

Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) is the most frequent comorbidity in CF. The prevalence is age-dependent and abnormalities in/of glucose homeostasis start early in life. As CFRD has an impact on pulmonary function and life expectancy, early diagnosis and treatment is mandatory. Screening is needed because initially, most patients with CFRD do not show any typical symptoms of diabetes. The question of which screening method gets the best results is still under discussion. For treatment insulin is recommended but a relevant percentage of patients do not use it, and even if insulin is used, there is no consensus on what the best insulin regime in the case of CFRD is. Recently, oral antidiabetic drugs were shown to be as effective and safe as insulin in the initial treatment of CFRD. This treatment might reduce the additional treatment burden for patients with CFRD. The best way to monitor CFRD is also under discussion (HbA1c and/or continuous glucose monitoring; CGM). The threshold of HbA1c might be lower than for other types of diabetes. As patients with CF become older, the duration of CFRD will also increase and typical diabetes complications will occur. So far, these are mainly microvascular complications. The new CFTR modulators might influence not only pulmonary function but potentially also glucose homeostasis.

Data mining is one of the most effective statistical methodologies to investigate a variety of problems in areas including pattern recognition, machine learning, bioinformatics, chemometrics, and statistics. In particular, statistically-sophisticated procedures that emphasize on reliability of results and computational efficiency are required for the analysis of high-dimensional data. Optimization principles can play a significant role in the rationalization and validation of specialized data mining procedures. This paper presents a novel methodology which is Multi-Choice Wavelet Thresholding (MCWT) based three-step methodology consists of three processes: perception (dimension reduction), decision (feature ranking), and cognition (model selection). In these steps three concepts known as wavelet thresholding, support vector machines for classification and information complexity are integrated to evaluate learning models. Three published data sets are used to illustrate the proposed methodology. Additionally, performance comparisons with recent and widely applied methods are shown.

La aparición de cepas bacterianas resistentes y los efectos secundarios de sus fármacos disponibles han hecho investigar nuevos compuestos antibacterianos bioactivos. Jatropha mollissima es una planta endémica del bioma Caatinga, Brasil. Existen informes en la literatura de que esta especie tiene acción antioxidante, antibacteriana y antiproliferativa. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar el potencial antibacteriano y modulador de J. mollissima contra cepas bacterianas multirresistentes. El perfil fitoquímico se obtuvo por cromatografía de gases junto con espectrometría de masas. J. mollissima mostró actividad antibacteriana moderada y moduló la actividad del antibiótico Norfloxacino, promoviendo una relación antagonista. Este fue el primer estudio de este tipo realizado con J. mollissima.

LE COMPLEXE DU SCAPHANDRIER
Authors: Thibeault Jimmy
Published: June 2020

Il y a, dans le roman Volkswagen Blues, cette image du complexe du
scaphandrier pour décrire une période de replis sur soi vécue par le personnage de Jack
Waterman. Dans le chapitre où il en est question, Waterman pose sa condition d’écrivain
comme une condition qui le pose en marge de la vie qui passe et qui amène avec elle les gens
qu’il aime sans qu’il s’en rende compte. La description fait certainement référence au
rapport que Jack entretient avec son frère Théo, mais on peut aussi l’appliquer aux
protagonistes des romans qui précèdent Volkswagen Blues, des êtres marginalisés qui
se coupent du monde qui les entoure. À la sortie de sa crise, Jack Waterman précise que le
mouvement de replis sur soi, d’isolement, que représente l’image du scaphandrier a cependant
ceci de rassurant qu’il sait que quelqu’un reste à la surface pour veiller sur soi et pour
actionner la pompe qui donne de l’air. Si dans les premiers romans, l’isolement semble
complet, conduisant certains à une sorte de suicide social, il n’en est rien dans
Volkswagen Blues puisque la Grande Sauterelle reste à la surface pour prendre soin
de lui. À partir de ce moment, on relève dans l’oeuvre un changement dans son rapport du soi
avec le monde. Tout se passe comme s’il y avait un désir plus marqué d’aller vers l’autre,
d’accepter le besoin que le soi a de l’autre et que cet autre a de soi.
« VERS UN ESPACE QUI PRENAIT VIE À CHAQUE FOULÉE »
Authors: Phaneuf-Jolicoeur1 Xavier
Published: June 2020

Si certains ont perçu dans Atavismes (2011), recueil de Raymond Bock, un
mouvement d’inquiétude, d’étiolement, de désespoir, cet article propose qu’il ne s’agit pas
là de la finalité du livre : celui-ci affecterait plutôt le repli par entêtement vital,
précisément pour échapper aux impasses. On étudie d’abord l’équivoque, qui est au coeur du
recueil, à la lumière de manifestations de l’irrésolution chez les personnages, des
brouillages qui marquent l’écriture et les voix de ces protagonistes, mais aussi de leurs
élans de violence et de fuite. On avance ensuite, en s’appuyant sur la figure du coureur des
bois — l’être de l’entre-deux, des risques et des possibles — que si Atavismes
accélère, dans la fiction, le mouvement de la défaite, c’est moins pour déplorer un
affaiblissement irrésistible que pour harnacher, de façon souterraine, les forces qui mènent
à l’épuisement en espérant en tirer une détermination et une vigueur neuves.
Ca2+ entry through NaV channels generates submillisecond axonal Ca2+ signaling

Calcium ions (Ca2+) are essential for many cellular signaling mechanisms and enter the cytosol mostly through voltage-gated calcium channels. Here, using high-speed Ca2+imaging up to 20 kHz in the rat layer five pyramidal neuron axon we found that activity-dependent intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in the axonal initial segment was only partially dependent on voltage-gated calcium channels. Instead, [Ca2+]ichanges were sensitive to the specific voltage-gated sodium (NaV) channel blocker tetrodotoxin. Consistent with the conjecture that Ca2+enters through the NaVchannel pore, the optically resolvedICain the axon initial segment overlapped with the activation kinetics of NaVchannels and heterologous expression of NaV1.2 in HEK-293 cells revealed a tetrodotoxin-sensitive [Ca2+]irise. Finally, computational simulations predicted that axonal [Ca2+]itransients reflect a 0.4% Ca2+conductivity of NaVchannels. The findings indicate that Ca2+permeation through NaVchannels provides a submillisecond rapid entry route in NaV-enriched domains of mammalian axons.
