Concentration Statistics for Conservative Solute Transport in River Estuaries
Authors:   , Galešić Morena
Published: April 2021

When addressing water quality issues in coastal zone management, rivers are considered to be among the most significant pathways for waterborne solute transport. On the other hand, estuaries are some of the most productive environments on Earth and multiple interests from different stakeholders put additional pressure on such an ecosystem. Estuaries are thus among the most critical areas for pollution hazard and a lot of research is being conducted in order to ensure their sustainable development. The flow in an estuary is characterized by a mixing process, which results from a combination of small-scale turbulent diffusion and larger-scale variation of mean advective velocities. Scalar concentration in such turbulent flows is a random variable, which requires a statistical approach. This thesis focuses on the development of two analytical methodologies for obtaining concentration statistics of a conservative contaminant generated by a steady river flow in a salt-wedge estuary. Analytically obtained concentration statistics, which include concentration moments, probability density function defined in point, spatially integrated moments, and expected mass fraction, significantly reduce the costs and time needed for obtaining the measured data. Although these analytical models lack the level of detail possessed by sophisticated numerical models, they can generate results within seconds and with little preprocessing. Therefore, the developed analytical models represent screening tools for obtaining concentration statistics of pollution in estuaries, and can be used by stakeholders of different backgrounds. While investigating various validation procedures for the developed analytical models, and using the case study of the Žrnovnica River estuary, near Split, Croatia, several new findings were obtained. For instance, a new model for mean velocity attenuation was proposed and verified. Furthermore, a new proxy concentration was tested and, combined with numerical modeling, it delivered qualitative verification of analytically obtained concentration statistics. The analytical model for point concentration statistics was implemented in a user-friendly computer application (CPoRT) and presented to different stakeholders as a screening tool. Finally, the most important scientific contributions of this thesis are the development of the semi-analytical approach for obtaining concentration statistics in a river-dominated estuary, application of proxy concentration using the salinity data and the introduction of the expected mass fraction as a significant novelty to address the pollution loading to coastal waters.
Modeliranje postotka vremena provedenog u koloni na dvotračnim izvangradskim cestama

Published: April 2021

In Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H), two-lane rural highways make up the largest percentage of road network and accommodate almost complete traffic. Because of this, platoons are often formed and vehicle speeds are reduced. To improve the quality of traffic flow, it is necessary to define the level of service (LOS) for the existing condition and for alternative possibilities of reconstructing critical elements of the road network. According to Highway Capacity Manual 2010 (HCM 2010), for two-lane highways LOS is defined by measures of efficiency: average travel speed (ATS) for road class I and percent time spent following (PTSF) for road classes I and II. HCM assumes very high ATS values for conditions on national roads that are classified as class I according to HCM classification, and the problem is also nonuniformity of highway geometry elements, which further complicates the application of ATS in B&H. Therefore, PTSF was studied in this paper as an appropriate measure for determining the efficiency of two-lane rural highways. Researches carried out in the world show significant differences in PTSF results compared to the HCM calculations. No research on this topic has been conducted in the region and HCM is used in its original form. The above reasons were the main motive to study this topic and develop a model that would be easy to apply in practice. The survey was conducted on main roads with calculation speed of 80 km/h, because they are the most important in the two-lane road network. In this dissertation, calibration and validation of the Vissim 9 simulation software was first made based on conducted field research. The reason for application of the simulation software is that it allows simulation of different traffic conditions that occur in the field but cannot all be covered by surveying, or for testing some new traffic conditions. Based on the simulations of different traffic conditions, a new model for calculation of PTSF on two-lane rural roads (for speed 80 km/h) was obtained. The obtained PTSF calculation model was validated on another section and the obtained results proved the applicability of the model.
Is Treatment Inertia Unique to Publicly Funded Healthcare? Insights from the Guidelines Oriented Approach to Lipid lowering (GOAL) Canada Program
Authors: Langer Anatoly
Published: April 2021

Background: We compared the use of lipid lowering therapy, low density-lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, and proportion achieving guideline-recommended LDL-C levels in patients with private vs. public insurance coverage for their lipid lowering treatment. Materials and Methods: Guidelines Oriented Approach to Lipid lowering (GOAL) Canada enrolled 2009 patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) or heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and an LDL-C above the guideline-recommended target of <2.0 mmol/L despite maximally tolerated statin therapy. During two follow-up visits physicians received online reminders of treatment recommendations. Results: Of 2009 patients enrolled (median age 63 years, 42% female), there were 1284 (64%) patients with private and 725 (36%) with public insurance for lipid lowering therapy. Patients with private insurance were younger and less likely to have a history of heart failure or to be on bile acid sequestrants. There was no difference between the groups in their lipid levels or lipid lowering therapy at baseline. During the follow up, there was no difference in the use of ezetimibe; however, the use of PCSK9i was more frequent in patients with private insurance (31.7 % vs. 21%, p<0.0001), the mean LDL-C level was slightly lower (2.11±1.17 vs. 2.31±1.17 mmol/L, p = 0.001), and the proportion of patients achieving the guideline-recommended LDL-C level was greater (54% vs. 45.5%, p = 0.001). After adjustment for other factors in a multivariable model, private insurance was not a significant predictor of achieving the guideline-recommended LDL-C level in a multivariable model. Conclusion: While PCSK9i use was higher in patients with private insurance, the majority of patients with either private or public insurance experienced similar treatment inertia. The cost of non-generic medications does not appear to be the dominant reason for the continued care gap in lipid lowering of high-risk patients.

AMELOBLASTOMA ASSOCIATED WITH DENTIGEROUS CYST
Authors: Ivanov A. , Ivanov G. , Bivolarski I.
Published: April 2021

Ameloblastoma is a benign, locally aggressive tumour, with an unicystic variant that is very difficult to be differentiated from odontogenic cysts, because of their similarity in the clinical manifestation and X-ray examination. The morphological similarities between these processes make for a more difficult histological diagnosis. We present a case of a 32-year old male, admitted in the Maxillofacial surgery clinic in a University hospital for surgical treatment, because of a swelling in the left mandibular vestibule. A cystic formation, histologically diagnosed as an epithelial one, is removed. Eight months later, the patient is admitted once again, with the same symptoms. The biopsy result from the second operation is a plexiform unicystic ameloblastoma. What is being discussed is the connection between the two pathological processes and the difficulties with giving the correct morphological diagnosis.

Published: April 2021

A non-hardware method for computer control of the geometric parameters of a twisted thread using a two-dimensional Fourier transform program of its computer image is proposed. First, the program calculates the diffraction pattern from the investigated image of the thread. Then, the same program builds a diffraction pattern from the image of the first pattern, which does not contain speckles in the proposed method. This makes it possible to carry out its automatic computer analysis with the output to the digital values ​​of the calculated parameters. The effectiveness of the method is illustrated on model and industrial samples of synthetic threads.

Postcolonial Finance
Authors: Schultz Cecilia
Published: April 2021

This article politicises the discourse of emerging markets in global finance. The black-boxed appearance of credit markets easily obscures the significant amount of subjective evaluation and cultural work that underpins capital flows. This article reveals the colonial, masculine, and racial imagination that informs the articulation of emerging markets as geographies of risk and profit. This brings into view the postcolonial nature of contemporary finance and how colonialism’s regimes of power and knowledge remain crucial for the reproduction of the global political economy. To illustrate this point, the article highlights the sociality of credit practices. Contrary to their mathematical appearance, credit is a relationship with the future, mediated by social imaginations of trust. Focusing on emerging markets as ‘risk-versus-reward’ investments, this article examines the long-term colonial histories embedded in modern investment discourses. The article aims to show the continuing relevance this history plays for emerging market economies in modern financial markets and their political economies.
American Extraterritorial Legislation
Authors: Laïdi Ali
Published: April 2021

Since the early 2000s, the United States’ different administrations of justice have been prosecuting foreign companies suspected of violating US laws on bribery of foreign public officials and of failing to respect embargoes and economic sanctions. Even if these violations take place outside US borders, the American prosecution authorities (including the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Office of Foreign Assets Control) consider themselves legitimate to intervene. European multinationals have been particularly sanctioned. For instance, in 2014, fines reached up to 9 billion dollars for the French bank BNP, which was accused of using dollars in its transactions with certain countries sanctioned by the US (mainly Iran, Cuba and Sudan). Punishing companies and hitting them in the wallet are not the only objectives of the American administration. The United States takes advantage of legal procedures against foreign companies to collect millions of bytes of data, sometimes including sensitive information on them as well as on their partners and markets. Facing this legal offensive, Europe is still struggling to provide responses to protect its companies.
Pashto-English Hybridization: Unknotting the knitted Compound Words
Authors: Ahmad Nisar , Iqbal Liaqat , Atif Muhammad
Published: April 2021

Hybridization has a significant role in creating words that have the flavor of both the knotted languages. It not only results in the formation of single words but also leads to compound word creation. The present study aims to unveil hybridization in compound words. For this purpose, 5 Pashto TV programmes from Khyber News were selected through purposive sampling. In this study, the framework developed by Kachru (1978) and adapted by Rasul (2006) has been employed. The findings show that hybridization in compounding is a frequently occurring phenomenon that usually has different arrangements of words from both languages, i.e., Pashto words coming before the English word or vice versa depending on the nature of compounding; however, mostly the Pashto words were placed before. Out of the 84 examples of hybridized compounds, there were only two adjectives, and the rest were compound nouns.

Authors: Anggraini Fitrijani
Published: April 2021

Penyediaan air minum oleh pedagang air atau swasta skala kecil menjadi fenomena penyedia layanan air minum terutama daerah yang belum terjangkau pelayanan PDAM. Perkembangan pedagang air muncul karena adanya permintaan masyarakat akan tersedianya air minum yang layak. Faktanya pedagang air ini cukup berperan dalam mengisi kesenjangan pelayanan oleh PDAM atau penyediaan mandiri oleh masyarakat. Pedagang air ini tumbuh sesuai dengan permintaan pasar, beroperasi secara informal dan belum mempunyai payung peraturan yang jelas. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan metode transek dengan menentukan sumbu utama Kota Palembang yang melintang dari Utara-Selatan pada empat titik pengamatan, dan kelurahan yang berada pada kiri dan kanan sumbu utama tersebut sebagai titik-titik penelitian. Survey dan wawancara pedagang air dilakukan terhadap pedagang yang mewakili beberapa jenis usaha. Analisa data dilakukan secara deskriptif. Ditemukan layanan air minum swasta bervariasi dengan sistem perpipaan maupun non perpipaan. PDAM Tirta Musi dengan jaringan perpipaan menunjukkan harga air terendah dari semua jenis layanan air, jaringan perpipaan dengan swasta 2 kali dari harga PDAM. Harga air sistem tangki air 31 kali lebih mahal dengan harga air dengan sambungan PDAM. Air dari pedagang keliling yang dijual per jerigen adalah 56 kali lebih mahal. Harga air minum kemasan isi ulang 293 kali harga air PDAM. Diperlukan aturan yang jelas untuk meningkatkan sinergi antara layanan air yang ada sebagai upaya percepatan air minum sesuai dengan target Millennium Development Goals 2015.

Published: April 2021

Banyak penelitian menunjukkan hubungan antara penggunaan lahan campuran, kepadatan, fasilitas, dan jaringan jalan pada lingkungan perumahan dengan perilaku aktivitas fisik seperti berjalan dan bersepeda penghuninya. Di Indonesia, studi hubungan lingkungan yang ramah pejalan kaki dengan perilaku aktivitas fisik dan kesehatan masyarakat sangat terbatas. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini penting mengingat tingginya angka kematian akibat penyakit tidak menular yang salah satu penyebabnya adalah karena kurangnya aktivitas fisik. Aktivitas yang memadai dan teratur setidaknya 150 menit per minggu dapat mengurangi faktor risiko kelebihan berat badan dan obesitas, hipertensi dan peningkatan gula darah dan lipid darah yang memicu penyakit jantung, stroke, diabetes, dan kanker. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat hubungan antara karakteristik pola perilaku aktivitas fisik dan kesehatan masyarakat berdasarkan tingkat keramahan lingkungan bagi pejalan kaki di Perumahan Margahayu Raya Bandung. Penelitian ini bersifat eksploratif dengan metode kuantitatif dengan menggunakan analisis statistik deskriptif. Penelitian dilakukan pada dua karakter lingkungan yang berbeda, yaitu di lingkungan perumahan yang cenderung lebih ramah pejalan kaki dan lingkungan yang kurang ramah pejalan kaki. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan signifikan perilaku aktivitas fisik dari dua karakter lingkungan perumahan tersebut. Analisis hubungan antara lingkungan dan kesehatan dengan perilaku aktivitas fisik sangat lemah, tetapi memiliki hubungan positif antara perilaku bersepeda dengan lingkungan dan perilaku kesehatan dan olahraga dengan lingkungan.

Studi Perbandingan Perilaku Lentur Balok Bambu Menggunakan Sifat Mekanik Yang Diperoleh Dengan Metode Rerata Dan Persentil Ke-5: Studi Kasus Bambu Wulung (Gigantochloa Atroviolacea)
Authors: Irawati Inggar Septhia , Wusqo Urwatul
Published: April 2021

Penggunaan bambu sebagai material konstruksi meningkat seiring dengan isu lingkungan yang semakin banyak dibahas. Namun demikian, tidak ada regulasi yang secara spesifik mengatur tentang desain konstruksi bambu di Indonesia. Penentuan sifat mekanik bambu di Indonesia kebanyakan masih diambil dari rata-rata hasil pengujian di laboratorium, sementara ISO 22156 mengatur penggunaan nilai persentil kelima dari hasil pengujian. Oleh karena itu, studi komparasi perilaku bambu yang nilai sifat mekanik dihitung menggunakan metode rata-rata dan persentil ke-5 hasil pengujian sangat penting untuk dilakukan karena akan meningkatkan perhatian dan pemahaman para perencana untuk menggunakan sifat mekanik dari persentil ke-5 hasil pengujian dalam perencanaan struktur bambu. Makalah ini menyajikan hasil studi komparasi perilaku lentur balok bambu yang sifat mekanik lentur, modulus elastisitas lentur dan modulus patah, dihitung menggunakan 3 metode yaitu metode rata-rata, metode persentil ke-5 ISO 22156, dan metode persentil ke-5 hubungan antara modulus elastisitas dan modulus lentur. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan modulus elastisitas dan modulus patah bambu yang didapatkan dari metode rata-rata hasil pengujian laboratorium tidak disarankan karena memberikan nilai kapasitas beban, baik pada beban maksimum maupun beban pada kondisi lendutan ijin, yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan data beban pada kedua kondisi yang diperoleh dari hasil pengujian lentur statik. Hal ini akan meningkatkan risiko kegagalan pada struktur bambu. Selain itu, hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa persyaratan kekakuan adalah faktor yang lebih menentukan pada perencanaan struktur balok bambu. Penggunaan  nilai modulus elastisitas dan modulus patah yang diperoleh dari metode ISO 22156 lebih direkomendasikan.

The quality of aviation oils was evaluated online on the basis of their lubricating, antifriction, rheological and antiwear properties in the friction contact. The use of the software and hardware complex for evaluation of operational characteristics of triboelements is offered. Approbation of the proposed methodology was performed on aviation oils SM-9. The increase in antifriction properties of the “Bora B” SM-9 oil was established to be due to the formation of limiting adsorption layers of lubricant on friction-activated contact surfaces, which are characterized by low shear stresses of the lubricant, and their structuring provides high effective viscosity in the contact at a level of 5142 Pa.s. It was revealed that at start-up the lubricant temperature is 20 0С and the mixed lubrication mode prevails, but with increasing the lubricant temperature to 100 0С the elastic-hydrodynamic (contact-hydrodynamic) lubrication mode dominates, then at maximum rotation speed of friction pairs the hydrodynamic lubrication mode dominates, regardless of oil temperature, which indicates the effective separation of the contact surfaces due to the formation of a lubricating layer between them. Analysis of the specific work of friction in the friction contact showed that the instability of this parameter evidences to intensification of destructive processes in the near-surface layers of metal and reduction in its wear resistance. The decrease in wear resistance of the lagging surface in the conditions of rolling with sliding for all types of investigated oils is due to the different directions of the friction force vector in the contact. In the course of operation of friction pairs in nonstationary conditions, the softening of the surface metal layers occurs, which has a positive effect on the tribological processes in the contact. The practical significance of the work consists in developing a methodology of analysis of lubricants, which makes it possible to more accurately evaluate their performance and provide recommendations for the choice of lubricant for specific friction units.
High-carbon steel: microstructure and abrasive wear resistance of heat affected zone after welding with fast cooling

The goal of this work is to estimate the abrasive wear resistance of heat affected zone (HAZ) after welding high-carbon low-alloy steel 120Mn3Si2 with fast cooling. The following benchmark data were used: microstructures of HAZ of 120Mn3Si2 steel after welding with cooling in water; abrasive wear resistance of different microstructure constituents of 120Mn3Si2 steel in two-body abrasive wear conditions. It is shown that high abrasive wear resistance of material in HAZ is provided in the vicinity of fusion line. The reason is unstable retained austenite which appears in HAZ as a result of quenching at fast cooling right after welding. The wear resistance of material in HAZ is altered by microstructural changes from austenite to austenite+martensite and finally martensite. The martensitic zone is about 0.5 mm wide and it is followed by zone of tempering of initial structure of steel. Zone of tempering is 1.5-2.0 mm wide and is the only zone of low abrasive wear resistance in HAZ of 120Mn3Si2 steel welded with fast cooling. Welding of 120Mn3Si2 steel with fast cooling in water results in welding joints which have as high wear resistant as the base material or even higher. This enables manufacturing flat welded elements with high wear-resistance and large surface area
Effect of Heat Radiation on Work Load and Gamelan Crafts Productivity
Authors:   Politeknik Negeri Bali, Suarbawa I Ketut Gede Juli , Yusuf M. ,   Politeknik Negeri Bali
Published: April 2021

The production process of making gamelan in Tihingan Village still uses the traditional way, namely using prapen with an open flame both for the melting process and in the formation process. This causes the workload of craftsmen to be quite heavy due to exposure to radiant heat and dust. The results of microclimate measurement of the work environment obtained an average dry temperature of 33.2oC, an average wet temperature of 24oC. The average ball temperature was 33oC, WBGT 26.3oC and the mean humidity (RH) was 59.0%. The average light intensity at work reaches 319.2 lux. The average temperature of the furnace at low heat is 340oC and during the combustion process it reaches 860 oC. The results of measurements of air quality in the workplace include levels of NO2 17.00 µg /m3 (increased by 112.50%), SO2 5.33 µg/m3 (increased by 45.23%), CO 407.16 µg/m3 (increased by 217, 99%), oxidants (Ox) 61.00 µg/m3 (increased by 1.67%) and dust 48.50 µg/m3 (increased by 125.58%). The mean pulse of the nguwad workers reached 125.81±1.35 beats/minutes (including heavy workload). This causes the productivity of craftsmen to be low due to the increase in musculoskeletal disorders and craftsmen fatigue. To overcome this condition, the workings of the craftsmen need to be improved immediately through the application of appropriate technology in the form of furnace repair so that the flames and dust produced can be removed from the workplace, then exposure to hot air and combustion dust will no longer expose the craftsmen.

As dietary factors affect the risk of cancer, communication is crucial for providing beneficial nutritional knowledge for patients to change their daily diets accurately. The communication could be through the use of the internet, as there is currently media that could be easily accessed at a large scale. As a result, modern technology could facilitate the interaction between citizens and nutritional professionals, leading to healthy lifestyles. For example, the nutritional labels of products could be read by using IoT, which is a mobile application. It is also believed that devices will be developed to help prevent cancer in the future.Keywords: health communication, nutrition for cancer prevention, IoT, social media nutrition, nutrition labeling

A Multimodal Analysis of Qawwali
Authors: Iram Amjad
Published: April 2021

This study explores qawwali from emotional, aesthetic as well as devotional aspects to get its true feel. The purpose is to trace the extent to which qawwali acts as a catalyst for ecstatic or trance-like states of spiritual experience. A multimodal framework for analysis was used to study the common emerging patterns like love of God and His last prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H), beatitudes of God and paradox of spiritual or worldly love. The qawwali sung at the three famous shrines of Lahore, Pakistan was the main source of data. To trace its impact, perceptions of devotees were taken into account in the form of 16 case studies. It was found that qawwali’s emphatic rhythmical stress patterns repeating God’s name stirred devotees’ emotions for spiritual self-repositioning. But words fall short to capture these spiritual emotions. Hence, this study only described the emotions supposedly gaining spiritual proximity with God.
Word Formation Process in SMS Language
Authors: Zainab Zaheer
Published: April 2021

Short Message Service (SMS) language can be classified in itself as a variety of written language. The classification of SMS as a distinct variety is based on the uniqueness of the way it is written, since this variety is based only on written form and not speech. This article examines the Word Formation Processes that are used in SMS language by the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) students of University of Management and Technology (UMT), Pakistan. The article also explores the choices of Word Formation Processes (WFPs) that are made by males and females. The data was collected from 50 male and 50 female students enrolled in the BBA program of a private university of Lahore. The research questions were related to the use of Word Formation Processes and the research hypotheses were tested to distinguish WFPs as a marker of Gender identity. The results revealed that Standard Word Formation Processes are used more in the SMS language as compared to non-standard WFPs and it also revealed that there is a significant difference in the choices of males and females.
Sense and Feel

Translation of poetry is a hard nut to crack. Especially, when it is loaded with cultural connotations. Beyond any doubt, translation demands linguistic and cultural skills from a translator to express meanings. Hence, the process of translation becomes challenging when both the source language and the target language belong to two different language families. The present study explores the linguistic challenges faced by translators when translating Faiz Ahmad Faiz’s Urdu poetry into English. The researchers have found that translating Urdu metaphorical expressions and compound words used in Faiz’s Urdu poetry is near to impossible as these expressions are rooted in specific cultural, social, political and historical backgrounds.
Multimodal Historiography in Spiegelman’s Maus and MetaMaus
Authors: Naila Sahar
Published: April 2021

Art Spiegelman’s act of writing (and drawing) Maus is an act of breaking silences. It’s an act of reinterpreting and reconstructing history. By collecting personal memories of his father, Spiegelman recovers, commemorates and recollects the collective heritage of a trauma in a society, where denial and erasure are primary tools of historiography.

Published: April 2021

This investigation was focused on exploring the relationship between learning and teaching English through online mode during Covid-19 which were propitious for students and teachers. Judgmental sampling of twenty-five textual units from online news blogs was drawn. Axial coding was applied to analyze thematic patterns in data. Findings flaunted that Internet use was surging during Covid-19. Teachers and students were engaged in digital interaction to overcome the academic loss, and they were not ready for the online shift. Internet speed, connectivity, and availability of laptops to low-income parents were grim realities questioning universities' capacity to go for online mode of learning and teaching English, which entailed to be devised afresh. Students were experiencing a high level of digital divide and decreasing equity during Covid-19. The study resulted that universities were preparing to cope with learning and teaching English during Covid-19 by shifting online mode even in the dearth of resources, both teachers and students needed to learn necessary software and applications for teaching and learning English through online mode. The usefulness of the study was marked by way of planning the future scheme strategically for learning and teaching English through online mode during Covid-19.

Published: April 2021

Are preventive dental interventions potential triggers for MRONJ onset? The aim of the present study was to retrospectively analyze clinical charts of subjects candidate for medical therapies with ascertained risk of MRONJ observed at the Dental Unit of the Hospital of Gorizia from 2011 to 2019. Patients who underwent a preliminary dental evaluation and preventive interventions (n = 214) were assigned to a preventive protocol group basing on the therapies performed (Complete, Partial, Not necessary). Demographical and clinical data were recorded, alongside with the interventions performed and the possible onset of MRONJ and its treatment. The obtained data were then compared with the characteristics of patients who were evaluated and treated for MRONJ (n = 34), who didn't perform a preliminary oral and dental evaluation before. Our results indicate that strict preventive protocols including single or multiple dental extractions of non maintainable teeth may represent triggers for MRONJ onset.
Economía de las grandes ciudades en Colombia: seis estudios de caso
Authors: Pérez Gerson Javier , Aguilera María , Galvis Luis Armando , Otero Andrea , Sánchez-Jabba Andrés , Acosta Karina
Published: April 2021

El libro consta de seis capítulos, los cuales han sido desarrollados por investigadores del Centro de Estudios Económicos Regionales (CEER). Cada uno de ellos profundiza en factores asociados con el crecimiento económico, especialmente los relacionados con el capital humano, visto desde sus componentes fundamentales: la educación y la salud. Si se define el PIB urbano como el agregado de la producción del sector industrial, de servicios y el financiero, se observa que seis departamentos concentran cerca del 80% de dicha producción. Para el estudio de la economía de las ciudades se ha seleccionado a Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, Bucaramanga, Barranquilla y Cartagena, capitales de esos departamentos, que representan el 72% de la población residente en las capitales departamentales y 42% de la población residente en las cabeceras urbanas del país. Estas capitales, junto con sus áreas metropolitanas, concentran la mayor parte del capital humano del país y son, también, en la mayoría de los casos, el área urbana más representativa de la región a la cual pertenecen.

Published: April 2021

Over the past 30 years, the California condor (Gymnogyps californianus) population has rebounded from 22 individuals to over 200 birds living in the wild. Historical impacts to the population have been largely anthropogenic. In this study, we explore mortality and cause of death data from condors that died during the years 2010-2014 and compare these to mortality data described by Rideout et al. in 2012, covering the years 1992-2009. In addition, morphologic and genetic analysis of the contents of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract was performed on the 2010-2014 condor mortalities to determine animal origins of the last meal eaten. The maximum population at risk within this time frame was 329 birds. During this time, 88 condors died and underwent post-mortem examination, and 41 birds were lost to tracking efforts and presumed dead (crude mortality rate of 39%; 129/329). A cause of death was determined for 66 of the 88 necropsied birds. Lead toxicosis remained a significant negative factor in condor population recovery, being related to the deaths of 37 adult and juvenile condors (proportional mortality rate 56%). Compared to condors succumbing to other causes of death, cattle were less often part of the last meal of lead-intoxicated condors. Based on these data, continued efforts to mitigate the impact of lead on California condors should be pursued.
