La phrase nominale hongroise : encore des questions
Authors: Gouesse Marie-Josèphe
Published: November 2017

Résumé En hongrois la prédication nominale, ainsi que sa réalisation sous la forme de la phrase nominale, présentent-elles des spécificités ? Dans cette langue, prédication nominale et prédication existentielle sont clairement disjointes. Quant à l’expression de la prédication nominale typique, elle partage certaines propriétés avec une partie de celle de la prédication verbale. Les réalisations de la phrase nominale concernent les types majeurs de phrase : assertive, non assertive, excla-mative… Elles vont de la forme la plus réduite (forme minimale avec le seul cons-tituant prédicat) jusqu’à la forme canonique à deux constituants ; et ceci aussi bien dans des phrases simples que dans des phrases complexes. La structure interne des constituants de cette phrase est elle-même sujette à variations. Si la phrase nominale présente des spécificités, elles sont peut-être à rechercher dans les phrases nominales d’identification : en effet dans celles-ci les deux constituants possèdent un degré de détermination équivalent et cette propriété met en évidence les limites de l’analyse syntaxique appliquée à de telles phrases. Il est alors nécessaire de recourir à un autre type d’analyse (par exemple celle de la structure informationnelle) pour cerner la fonction des constituants d’une phrase de ce type.
Les énoncés averbaux : de l’identification à l’évaluation
Authors: Guillemin-Flescher Jacqueline
Published: November 2017

Résumé Cette étude a un double objectif : à la fois théorique et contrastif. Sur le plan théorique, il s’agit de proposer une explication des énoncés averbaux en termes d’opération qualitative. Celle-ci se ramène à deux variables : soit on identifie le prédicat, soit on l’évalue. Le deuxième objectif consiste à dégager les conditions sous lesquelles ces énoncés apparaissent selon les langues. Les exemples sont relevés dans un corpus bilingue anglais / français dans la mesure où les traductions s’avèrent systématisables. Bien que la même opération soit en jeu quelle que soit la langue, la comparaison des textes originaux et de leurs traductions permet de déterminer les contraintes qui conditionnent les choix récurrents des traducteurs.
Las cabezas de la justicia: ¿“Antigona-Ismena”?, ¿“Antigona e Ismena”?, ¿“Antigona-”?, ¿“-Ismena”?...
Authors: De Prada García Aurelio
Published: November 2017

Antígona es uno de los más grandes y conocidos personajes de la tragedia griega, y ha merecido la mayor atención por parte de la posteridad. Otros personajes de la tragedia homónima de Sófocles no han merecido, sin embargo, la misma atención. Algo especialmente llamativo en lo que se refiere al de Ismena, la hermana de Antígona, quien se enfrenta con el mismo problema que ésta, pudiendo, por tanto, convertirse en protagonista junto con ella (cambiando así, no sólo el título de la obra, sino incluso también su carácter trágico). Así las cosas, en las páginas que siguen no analizaremos todos los personajes, todas las concepciones de la justicia, incluidas en la tragedia de Sófocles, sino sólo las representadas por Antígona e Ismena, y ello desde nuestro horizonte de praxis.

Published: November 2017

Caspase recruitment domain family member 14 (CARD14) was recently identified as a psoriasis-susceptibility gene, but its immunological role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis in vivo remains unclear. In this study, we examined the role of CARD14 in murine experimental models of psoriasis induced by either imiquimod (IMQ) cream or recombinant IL-23 injection. In all models tested, the psoriasiform skin inflammation was abrogated in Card14−/− mice. Comparison of the early gene signature of the skin between IMQ-cream–treated Card14−/− mice and Tlr7−/−Tlr9−/− mice revealed not only their similarity, but also distinct gene sets targeted by IL-23. Cell type–specific analysis of these mice identified skin Langerinhigh Langerhans cells as a potent producer of IL-23, which was dependent on both TLR7 and TLR9 but independent of CARD14, suggesting that CARD14 is acting downstream of IL-23, not TLR7 or TLR9. Instead, a bone marrow chimera study suggested that CARD14 in radio-sensitive hematopoietic cells was required for IMQ-induced psoriasiform skin inflammation, controlling the number of Vγ4+ T cells producing IL-17 or IL-22 infiltrating through the dermis to the inflamed epidermis. These data indicate that CARD14 is essential and a potential therapeutic target for psoriasis.
Preparing them from home: A discourse on Christian parental responsibility towards ecological crisis
Authors: Nche George C. , Okwuosa Lawrence N. , Nweze Stanley N.
Published: November 2017

Few studies have discussed the roles of parents towards addressing ecological crisis. Yet, discourses on these roles have always been approached from a secular perspective. To this end, this paper critically discusses the roles of parents towards ecological crisis from the Christian or biblical perspective of their responsibilities towards their children. Using a hermeneutic phenomenological method of analysis, the article argues that ecological disasters of tomorrow could be prevented today through effective ecologically centred Christian parenting.
Variétés abéliennes et ordres maximaux
Authors: Rémond Gaël
Published: November 2017

We prove that an abelian variety whose endomorphism ring is a maximal order can be written as a direct product of simple factors with the same property, in which furthermore two isogenous factors have isomorphic nth powers for some n. Conversely every such product has a maximal order as endomorphism ring. We deduce from this some properties for arbitrary abelian varieties, in particular for almost complements of abelian subvarieties.
Equivalence of critical and subcritical sharp Trudinger–Moser–Adams inequalities
Authors: Lam Nguyen , Lu Guozhen , Zhang Lu
Published: November 2017

Sharp Trudinger–Moser inequalities on the first order Sobolev spaces and their analogous Adams inequalities on high order Sobolev spaces play an important role in geometric analysis, partial differential equations and other branches of modern mathematics. Such geometric inequalities have been studied extensively by many authors in recent years and there is a vast literature. There are two types of such optimal inequalities: critical and subcritical sharp inequalities, both are with best constants. Critical sharp inequalities are under the restriction of the full Sobolev norms for the functions under consideration, while the subcritical inequalities are under the restriction of the partial Sobolev norms for the functions under consideration. There are subtle differences between these two type of inequalities. Surprisingly, we prove in this paper that these critical and subcritical Trudinger–Moser and Adams inequalities are actually equivalent. Moreover, we also establish the asymptotic behavior of the supremum for the subcritical Trudinger–Moser and Adams inequalities on the entire Euclidean spaces, and provide a precise relationship between the suprema for the critical and subcritical Trudinger–Moser and Adams inequalities. This relationship of supremum is useful in establishing the existence and nonexistence of extremal functions for the Trudinger–Moser inequalities. Since the critical Trudinger–Moser and Adams inequalities can be easier to prove than subcritical ones in some occasions, and more difficult to establish in other occasions, our results and the method suggest a new approach to both the critical and subcritical Trudinger–Moser and Adams type inequalities.

Alimentation minérale et urolithiases félines
Authors: Wolter Roger Michel
Published: November 2017

L’urolithiase à phosphates ammoniacomagnésiens (struvite) a représenté dans le passé plus de 90% de l’ensemble des urolithiases félines. Aujourd’hui, elle est beaucoup mieux prévenue et même traitée par voie alimentaire, en augmentant le taux de sel, en limitant la teneur magnésique, surtout en acidifiant les urines par l’apport renforcé d’anions.

Toutefois, on constate à l’inverse une forte progression de l’urolithiase à oxalate de calcium qui tendrait à devenir majoritaire. Il semblerait donc qu’une manipulation trop simpliste et trop brutale de l’équilibre alimentaire fasse tomber d’un écueil dans l’autre, vérifiant la loi du juste milieu.
Répression du génome de l’embryon : comment, pourquoi ?
Authors: Delouis Claude , Forlani Sylvie , Jule Sophia
Published: November 2017

L’expression du génome de l’embryon a été étudiée en utilisant des lapins dont la lignée germinale a été enrichie avec un gène marqueur associé au promoteur du gène tk du virus de l’herpès, et à des séquences régulatrices dérivées d’introns et d’exons du gène humain hprt et de la séquence F101 du polyome. Cette construction, nommée IIPytl2LacZ, s’exprime dans les cellules de l’embryon transgénique collecté au stade une cellule et maintenu en culture.

Lorsqu’il est d’origine paternelle, le transgène ne s’exprime in vitro qu’à partir du stade 8 cellules alors que d’origine maternelle il s’exprime à partir du stade 16 cellules. Ainsi, in vitro, l’expression du génome est réprimée pendant les premiers stades de développement de l’embryon de lapin. La répression du génome d’origine maternelle a une durée plus longue que celle du génome d’origine paternelle ; la différence correspond au temps nécessaire à la réalisation un cycle cellulaire supplémentaire.

La présence d’aphidicoline, un inhibiteur de synthèse de l’ADN, dès le début de la culture s’oppose au passage de l’embryon du stade 2 au stade 4 cellules. Dans ces conditions, le transgène n’est plus exprimé quelle que soit l’origine germinale du gène. L’addition plus tardive de l’aphidicoline dans le milieu de culture, qui permet d’arrêter le développement de l’embryon au stade 4 cellules, réduit encore significativement l’expression du génome d’origine paternelle ou maternelle. Ces résultats montrent que la transcription devient possible seulement après la réalisation des phases de synthèse de l’ADN, ce qui suggère qu’une réoganisation fonctionnelle du génome de l’embryon est nécessaire pour la levée de la répression de la transcription.

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) caused by Leishmania infantum is a lethal disease transmitted by sand flies. Although, considered a zoonosis with dogs held as the main reservoirs, humans are also sources of infection. Therefore, control policies currently focused on dog culling may need to consider that VL and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/VL patients may also be infectious, contributing to transmission. Reservoir competence of patients with VL without and with HIV infection and of persons asymptomatically infected with Leishmania was assessed by xenodiagnosis with the vector Lutzomyia longipalpis. Parasites in sand fly’s guts were identified by using optical microscopy and by conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Leishmania infantum blood parasite burden was determined by quantitative PCR. Among the 61 participants, 27 (44%) infected sand flies as seen by microscopy or PCR. When infectiousness was assessed by microscopy, xenodiagnosis was positive in five (25%) patients not infected with HIV, whereas nine (45%) of those harboring HIV were positive. Among the 19 asymptomatic patients four (21%) infected sand flies only demonstrated by PCR. One (50%) asymptomatic patient with HIV had a positive xenodiagnosis by microscopy. 9/372 (2.4%) and 37/398 (9.2%) sand flies were infected when feeding in patients without and with HIV, respectively. Infectiousness was poorly correlated with quantitative PCR. The study shows that asymptomatic humans are capable of transmitting L. infantum, that ill persons with HIV infection are more infectious to sand flies, and that humans are more important reservoirs than previously thought. This fact may be considered when designing control policies for zoonotic VL.

Sabah is a Malaysian state situated in the northern part of Borneo, and it is endemic for malaria. The incidence of malaria is the lowest (0.05/1,000 population) in Penampang districts of Sabah. In June 26, 2012, two Plasmodium falciparum malaria cases were notified to public health department from a village in Penampang. Immediate investigation was initiated to identify the risk factors and to institute control measures. We performed active case finding by asking household members of all houses in the village regarding malaria symptoms and by examining blood smears. Environmental investigation was performed by collecting samples to detect mosquito breeding sites and to identify malaria transmitting vector mosquitoes. A case–control study with a ratio of 1:4 (11 cases and 44 controls) was conducted using self-administered questionnaire. The microscopic examination of blood smear for malarial parasite and entomology sampling was carried out. The malarial attack rate was 2.3%, 6/11 smears have gametocyte, and the case fatality rate was 9.1%. One case was a migrant rubber tapper from Indonesia which happened to be the first case with gametocyte positive. Overall, the incidence of malaria was higher (6/11) among rubber tappers. The odds of cases for those living nearby stagnant water were 7.3 [95% confidence interval: 1.2–43.5] times higher. In conclusion, an outbreak of P. falciparum malaria was introduced into a malaria-free village by a migrant rubber tapper, by whom the imported parasite was introduced to the community via vector Anopheles balabacensis. Living near stagnant water bodies was the risk factor in this outbreak.

Published: November 2017

Leptospirosis is an emerging bacterial zoonosis that is endemic but underrecognized throughout the tropics. Through prospective surveillance for acute febrile illness (AFI) among patients who presented to the emergency department of a hospital located in an urban region of Puerto Rico, four patients with laboratory-confirmed leptospirosis were identified. All patients had signs and symptoms of AFI, including fever, headache, and dehydration. Three patients had leukocytosis with thrombocytopenia and were admitted to the hospital. One hospitalized patient presented with jaundice, icteric sclera, and hematuria and developed rhabdomyolysis, whereas another patient with pulmonary edema was admitted to the intensive care unit. Microscopic agglutination titers among the four patients were highest against serogroups Icterohaemorrhagiae (serovar Mankarso), Australis (serovar Bratislava), Bataviae (serovar Bataviae), and Canicola (serovar Canicola). These case reports demonstrate that infection with these apparently uncommon serogroups can result in illness ranging from mild to life-threatening.

Malaria and neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), including schistosomiasis and soil transmitted helminths, threaten the health of school aged in sub-Saharan Africa. Established school-based mass drug administration (MDA) programs are used to control NTDs. Recent clinical trials have shown benefit of mass treatment of malaria in schools. The potential of adding malaria treatment to existing NTD programs has not been thoroughly evaluated. We offered malaria treatment with artemether-lumefantrine during routine NTD MDA and developed peer education programs in two primary schools in southern Malawi. We assessed participation, safety, and tolerability of coadministration of artemether-lumefantrine with praziquantel and albendazole. Results were compared with two schools conducting standard NTD MDA with additional monitoring by study staff. A total of 3,387 students (68%) received the standard NTD MDA. Among parents who came to schools on the day of the MDA, malaria treatment was well accepted; 87% of students who received the standard NTD MDA in intervention schools also consented for treatment with artemether-lumefantrine. The most frequent treatment emergent adverse events (AEs) were headache and vomiting. However, AEs were rare and were not more frequent in students who received artemether-lumefantrine in addition to praziquantel and albendazole. In this study, we found that the addition of malaria treatment to NTD MDA is well-received and safe. Such integrated programs may leverage existing infrastructures to reduce intervention costs and could become the framework for further integrated school-based health programs.

We evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of artemether–lumefantrine (AL) fixed-dose combination to treat uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Cruzeiro do Sul, Acre State, in the Amazon region of Brazil. Between December 2015 and May 2016, we enrolled 79 patients, 5–79 years old with fever or history of fever in the previous 48 hours and P. falciparum monoinfection confirmed by microscopy. Attempts were made to provide direct observation or phone reminders for all six doses of AL, and patients were followed-up for 28 days. AL was well tolerated, with no adverse events causing treatment interruption. All but one of the 74 patients who completed the 28-day follow-up had an adequate clinical and parasitologic response = 98.6% (95% CI: 93.2-100%). We could not amplify the one isolate of the case with recurrent infection to differentiate between recrudescence and reinfection. Five (6.3%) patients demonstrated persistent asexual parasitemia on Day 3, but none met definition for early treatment failure. We found no mutations in selected kelch13 gene domains, known to be associated with artemisinin resistance in P. falciparum isolates from Day 0. These results strongly support the continued use of AL as a first-line therapy for uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria in Acre. Routine monitoring of in vivo drug efficacy coupled with molecular surveillance of drug resistance markers remains critical.

Abstract. We investigate European regional climate change for time periods when the global mean temperature has increased by respectively 1.5 °C and 2 °C compared to preindustrial conditions. Results are based on regional downscaling of transient climate change simulations for the 21st century with global climate models (GCMs) from the fifth phase Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). We use an ensemble of EURO-CORDEX high-resolution regional climate model (RCM) simulations undertaken at a computational grid of 12.5 km horizontal resolution covering Europe. The ensemble consists of a range of RCMs that have been used for downscaling different GCMs under different forcing scenarios. The results indicate considerable near-surface warming already at the lower 1.5 °C warming. Regional warming exceeds that of the global mean in most parts of Europe, strongest in northernmost parts of Europe in winter and in southernmost parts of Europe together with parts of Scandinavia in summer. Changes in precipitation, that are less robust than the ones in temperature, include increases in the north and decreases in the south with a borderline that migrates from a northerly position in summer to a southerly one in winter. Some of these changes are seen already at 1.5 °C warming but larger and more robust at 2 °C. Changes in near-surface wind speed are associated with a large spread between individual ensemble members at both warming levels. Relatively large areas over the North Atlantic and some parts of the continent shows decreasing wind speed while some ocean areas in the far north show increasing wind speed. The changes in temperature, precipitation and wind speed are shown to be modified by changes in mean sea level pressure indicating a strong relationship with the large-scale circulation and its internal variability on decade-long timescales. By comparing to a larger ensemble of CMIP5 GCMs we find that the RCMs can alter the results leading either to attenuation of amplification of the climate change signal in the underlying GCMs. We find that the RCMs tend to produce less warming and more precipitation (or less drying) in many areas in both winter and summer.

Published: November 2017

Abstract. The degradation of buildings, or rather the decline of their initial performances following external agents both natural (cold-thaw, earthquake, salt, etc.) and artificial (industrial field, urban setting, etc.), in the years lead to the necessity of developing Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) intended to give useful information for an explanation of a potential deterioration without damaging the state of buildings. An accurate examination of damages, of the repeat of cracks in condition of similar stress, indicate the existence of principles that control the creation of these events. There is no doubt that a precise visual analysis is at the bottom of a correct evaluation of the building. This paper deals with the creation of 3D models based on the capture of digital images, through autopilot flight UAV, for civil buildings situated on the area of Reggio Calabria. The following elaboration is done thanks to the use of commercial software, based on specific algorithms of the Structure from Motion (SfM) technique. SfM represents an important progress in the aerial and terrestrial survey field obtaining results, in terms of time and quality, comparable to those achievable through more traditional data capture methodologies.

Abstract. This short paper aims to detect spatiotemporal detection of land use/land cover change within Karacabey Flooded Forest region. Change detection analysis applied to Landsat 5 TM images representing July 2000 and a Landsat 8 OLI representing June 2017. Various image processing tools were implemented using ERDAS 9.2, ArcGIS 10.4.1, and ENVI programs to conduct spatiotemporal change detection over these two images such as band selection, corrections, subset, classification, recoding, accuracy assessment, and change detection analysis. Image classification revealed that there are five significant land use/land cover types, including forest, flooded forest, swamp, water, and other lands (i.e. agriculture, sand, roads, settlement, and open areas). The results indicated that there was increase in flooded forest, water, and other lands, while the cover of forest and swamp decreased.
MEGASITE MANAGEMENT TOOL (MMT): A DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM BUILT USING MAPWINDOW ACTIVEX CONTROL
Authors: Pulsani B. R.
Published: November 2017

Abstract. Megasite Management Tool (MMT) is planning and evaluation software for contaminated sites. Using different statistical modules, MMT produces maps which help decision makers in rehabilitating contaminated sites. The input data used by MMT is of geographic nature and exists as shapefile and raster format. As MMT is built using simple windows forms application, the objective of the study was to find a way to visualize geographic data and to allow the user to edit its attribute information. Therefore, the application requirement was to find GIS libraries which offer capabilities such as (1) map viewer with navigation tools (2) library to read/write geographic data and (3) software which allows free distribution of the developed components. A research on these requirements led to the discovery of MapWindow ActiveX components which not only offered these capabilities but also provided free and open source licensing options for redistribution. Although considerable amount of reports and publications exist on MMT, the major contribution provided by MapWindow libraries have been under played. The current study emphasises upon the contribution and advantages MapWindow ActiveX provides for incorporating GIS functionality to an already existing application. Similar components for other languages have also been reviewed.

Published: November 2017

Abstract. The development of mobile technologies is important in the lives of humans. Mobile devices constitute a great part of the daily lives of people. It has come to such a point that when people first wake up, they check their smart phones for the first thing. Users may share their positions with the GNSS sensors in mobile devices or they can add information about their positions in mobile applications. Users contribute to Geographical Information System with this sharing. These users consist of native (citizens) living in that geographical position not of the CBS specialists. Creating, collecting, sharing and disseminating the geographical data provided by voluntary individuals constitute the Volunteered Geographic Information System. The data in the Volunteered Geographic Information System are received from amateur users. “How reliable will the data received from amateur users instead of specialists of the field be in scientific terms?” In this study, the reliability between the data received from the voluntary users through Volunteered Geographic Information System and real data is investigated. The real data consist of the traffic accident coordinates. The data that will be received from users will be received through the speed values in the relevant coordinates and the marking of the users for possible accident points on the map.

Abstract. The digital documentation of architectural heritage is important for monitoring, preserving, managing as well as 3B BIM modelling, time-space VR (virtual reality) applications. The unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been widely used in these application thanks to rapid developments in technology which enable the high resolution images with resolutions in millimeters. Moreover, it has become possible to produce highly accurate 3D point clouds with structure from motion (SfM) and multi-view stereo (MVS), to obtain a surface reconstruction of a realistic 3D architectural heritage model by using high-overlap images and 3D modeling software such as Context capture, Pix4Dmapper, Photoscan. In this study, digital documentation of Otag-i Humayun (The Ottoman Empire Sultan's Summer Palace) located in Davutpaşa, Istanbul/Turkey is aimed using low cost UAV. The data collections have been made with low cost UAS 3DR Solo UAV with GoPro Hero 4 with fisheye lens. The data processing was accomplished by using commercial Pix4D software. The dense point clouds, a true orthophoto and 3D solid model of the Otag-i Humayun were produced results. The quality check of the produced point clouds has been performed. The obtained result from Otag-i Humayun in Istanbul proved that, the low cost UAV with fisheye lens can be successfully used for architectural heritage documentation.

The aim of this study is achievement a geological map of the study area. The data utilizes is Sentinel-2 imagery, the processes used in this study, the OIF Optimum Index Factor is a statistic value that can be used to select the optimum combination of three bands in a satellite image. It’s based on the total variance within bands and correlation coefficient between bands, ICA Independent component analysis (3, 4, 6) is a statistical and computational technique for revealing hidden factors that underlie sets of random variables, measurements, or signals, MNF Minimum Noise Fraction (1, 2, 3) is used to determine the inherent dimensionality of image data to segregate noise in the data and to reduce the computational requirements for subsequent processing, Optimum Index Factor is a good method for choosing the best band for lithological mapping. ICA, MNF, also a practical way to extract the structural geology maps. The results in this paper indicate that, the studied area can be divided into four main geological units: Basement rocks (Meta volcanic, Meta sediments), Sedimentary rocks, Intrusive rocks, volcanic rocks. The method used in this study offers great potential for lithological mapping, by using Sentinel-2 imagery, the results were compared with existing geologic maps and were superior and could be used to update the existing maps.
CLASSIFIER-FREE DETECTION OF POWER LINE PYLONS FROM POINT CLOUD
DATA
Authors: Awrangjeb M. , Islam M. K.
Published: November 2017

Abstract. High density airborne point cloud data has become an important means for modelling and maintenance of a power line corridor. Since, the amount of data in a dense point cloud is huge even in a small area, an automatic detection of pylons in the corridor can be a prerequisite for efficient and effective extraction of wires in a subsequent step. However, the existing solutions mostly overlook this important requirement by processing the whole data into one go, which nonetheless will hinder their applications to large areas. This paper presents a new pylon detection technique from point cloud data. First, the input point cloud is divided into ground and nonground points. The non-ground points within a specific low height region are used to generate a pylon mask, where pylons are found stand-alone, not connected with any wires. The candidate pylons are obtained using a connected component analysis in the mask, followed by a removal of trees by comparing area, shape and symmetry properties of trees and pylons. Finally, the parallelism property of wires with the line connecting pair of candidate pylons is exploited to remove trees that have the same area and shape properties as pylons. Experimental results show that the proposed technique provides a high pylon detection rate in terms of completeness (100 %) and correctness (100 %).

Published: November 2017

Abstract. Pan-sharpened images of RASAT and GÖKTÜRK-2 satellites were generated using High Pass Filter (HPF) in this paper. GÖKTÜRK-2 satellite has 11 bits radiometric resolution, 2.5 m GSD in panchromatic band and 5 m GSD in VNIR bands whereas RASAT has 8 bits radiometric resolution, 7.5 m GSD in panchromatic band and 15 m GSD in visible bands. Quantitative analysis was carried out by spatial metric while the while the products were qualitatively analysed with visual interpretation by an expert group. The values for spatial metric were estimated as 0.9678 and 0.9542 for RASAT and GÖKTÜRK-2, respectively. It can be concluded that the success of HPF is almost satisfactory considering the optimal value of spatial metric is 1. The visual analysis shows the performance of GÖKTÜRK-2 is higher than RASAT since the higher radiometric and geometric resolution of GÖKTÜRK-2. All operations were run in SharpQ derived by the authors in Matlab environment.

Abstract. Calculation of gullies by remote sensing images obtained from satellite or aerial platforms is often not possible because gullies in agricultural fields, defined as the temporary gullies are filled in a very short time with tillage operations. Therefore, fast and accurate estimation of sediment loss with the temporary gully erosion is of great importance. In this study, it is aimed to monitor and calculate soil losses caused by the gully erosion that occurs in agricultural areas with low altitude unmanned aerial vehicles. According to the calculation with Pix4D, gully volume was estimated to be 10.41 m3 and total loss of soil was estimated to be 14.47 Mg. The RMSE value of estimations was found to be 0.89. The results indicated that unmanned aerial vehicles could be used in predicting temporary gully erosion and losses of soil.

Abstract. Twenty-four crude oil samples were collected from the 24 oil fields distributed in different districts of SE-Turkey. API and Sulphur content (%), Stable Carbon Isotope, Gas Chromatography (GC), and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) data were used to construct a geochemical data matrix. The aim of this study is to examine the genetic grouping or correlations in the crude oil samples, hence the number of source rocks present in the SE-Turkey. To achieve these aims, two of the multivariate statistical analysis techniques (Principle Component Analysis [PCA] and Cluster Analysis were applied to data matrix of 24 samples and 8 source specific biomarker variables/parameters. The results showed that there are 3 genetically different oil groups: Batman-Nusaybin Oils, Adıyaman-Kozluk Oils and Diyarbakir Oils, in addition to a one mixed group. These groupings imply that at least, three different source rocks are present in South-Eastern (SE) Turkey. Grouping of the crude oil samples appears to be consistent with the geographic locations of the oils fields, subsurface stratigraphy as well as geology of the area.

Published: November 2017

Abstract. Nowadays Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are widely used in many applications for different purposes. Their benefits however are not entirely detected due to the integration capabilities of other equipment such as; digital camera, GPS, or laser scanner. The main scope of this paper is evaluating performance of cameras integrated UAV for geomatic applications by the way of Digital Terrain Model (DTM) generation in a small area. In this purpose, 7 ground control points are surveyed with RTK and 420 photographs are captured. Over 30 million georeferenced points were used in DTM generation process. Accuracy of the DTM was evaluated with 5 check points. The root mean square error is calculated as 17.1 cm for an altitude of 100 m. Besides, a LiDAR derived DTM is used as reference in order to calculate correlation. The UAV based DTM has o 94.5 % correlation with reference DTM. Outcomes of the study show that it is possible to use the UAV Photogrammetry data as map producing, surveying, and some other engineering applications with the advantages of low-cost, time conservation, and minimum field work.

Abstract. In this research project, many movies from UTM Kolej 9, Skudai, Johor Bahru (See Figure 1) were taken by AR. Drone 2. Since the AR drone 2.0 has liquid lens, while flying there were significant distortions and deformations on the converted pictures of the movies. Passive remote sensing (RS) applications based on image matching and Epipolar lines such as Agisoft PhotoScan have been tested to create the point clouds and mesh along with 3D models and textures. As the result was not acceptable (See Figure 2), the previous Dynamic Pulse Function based on Ruby programming language were enhanced and utilized to create the 3D models automatically in LoD3. The accuracy of the final 3D model is almost 10 to 20 cm. After rectification and parallel projection of the photos based on some tie points and targets, all the parameters were measured and utilized as an input to the system to create the 3D model automatically in LoD3 in a very high accuracy.
SUFRÁGIO, EDUCAÇÃO E TRABALHO: O FEMINISMO NA IMPRENSA EM TERESINA NAS DÉCADAS DE 1920 E 1930
Authors: Cardoso Elizangela Barbosa
Published: November 2017

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a escrita acerca do feminismo, veiculada na imprensa em Teresina (PI), entre os anos 1920 e o início da década de 1930. Procura-se enfatizar sua relação com o movimento feminista organizado no Brasil, bem como seu impacto na construção de hierarquias de gênero, na cidade. Argumenta-se que o feminismo se manifesta em Teresina nessas décadas, especialmente, enquanto objeto de debate na imprensa, cujos desdobramentos contribuíram para legitimar o sufrágio, a educação e o trabalho femininos.
“O MENU DE MEU MARIDO”: NARRATIVAS VISUAIS, HISTÓRIA E PRÁTICAS DE GÊNERO NA REVISTA FEMININA
Authors: Soares Ana Carolina Eiras Coelho
Published: November 2017

O presente artigo pretende analisar as diferentes artes gráficas criadas para a seção “O Menu de Meu Marido” que foi veiculada pela Revista Feminina (1914-1936) ao longo de toda sua produção. Analiso as imagens das artes gráficas como uma produção intencional das editoras para criar símbolos e signos associados a modernidade, civilização e progresso social, em um momento histórico na qual esses conceitos estão sendo valorizados como parte de uma construção de Nação. Interessante pensar que o Menu era preparado para o marido – cidadão e provedor familiar – , mas ensinado e elaborado pela esposa – cuidadora do lar e das educação dos futuros cidadãos. Nesse sentido, penso o suporte impresso como uma interface de práticas sociais e modos de viver e pensar. O objetivo central está na compreensão da possível participação dessa seção na constituição das subjetividades das leitoras a partir da exposição de determinados pratos, produtos consumidos e bens mercadológicos expostos em uma revista voltada exclusivamente para o público feminino. A partir das ideias de formas de sedução das leitoras e das questões sobre a edição postas nos estudos de Roger Chartier, considero que esta seção foi previamente selecionada e estudada pelas editoras – no caso a Empresa Feminina cuja proprietária era D. Virgilina de Souza Sales.
Olhares historicamente construídos sobre a planície pantaneira
Authors: Kmitta Ilsyane Do Rocio , Calheiros Débora Fernandes
Published: November 2017

O presente artigo está associado ao projeto de pesquisa, cujo objetivo geral é analisar as transformações ambientais no Pantanal de Corumbá/MS no período que compreende os anos de 1950-1990. A proposta de trabalho está vinculada ao campo de pesquisa da História Ambiental que permite fazer uma breve análise do processo de transformações no Pantanal e como tais mudanças alteraram ao longo do tempo a relação do homem com a natureza na planície pantaneira. A ideia inicial parte de uma reflexão de que as ações não são isoladas e conhecer historicamente tais transformações permite a compreensão de que as modificações, muitas delas provocadas pela implantação de programas de desenvolvimento, provocaram sérios danos aos ecossistemas, afetando o ciclo das águas que são característica inerente dos pantanais.Analisamos que os impactos gerados por essas transformações foram sentidos não apenas na economia como também no meio ambiente e na cultura, desnudando assim, a vulnerabilidade dos pantanais.
Produzindo conhecimento sobre si mesmas: uma reflexão histórica sobre práticas feministas autônomas na Bolívia
Authors: Ferreira Gleidiane De Sousa
Published: November 2017

Este trabalho tem como objetivo central analisar alguns elementos da atuação política do grupo feminista anarquista boliviano Mujeres Creando, especialmente, no que se refere às suas elaborações de análises feministas. A escrita teórica, a rádio independente, o jornal alternativo, a produção e a publicização de arte de rua, assim como a tentativa de articular a “tomada” das tecnologias e dos espaços como uma forma de produção discursiva sobre o feminismo, fazem parte da experiência de militância dessas mulheres desde a sua emergência, no ano de 1992. Buscando “tomar la palabra” como modo de pensar e falar sobre elas próprias, tal grupo construiu uma larga apropriação das mídias autônomas e autogestionadas que se tornaram marcas registradas de seu feminismo. Assim, considerando o recente contexto político boliviano, busco discutir historicamente a ideia de feminismo construída pelo grupo, em especial, considerando o desejo por autonomia como questão central de atuação.
MELINDROSAS EM REVISTA: GÊNERO E SOCIABILIDADES DO INÍCIO DO SÉCULO XX (RECIFE, 1919-1929)
Authors: Nascimento Alcileide Cabral do , Melo Alexandre Vieira da Silva
Published: November 2017

Este artigo objetiva investigar a construção de novas formas de sociabilidades, práticas e a ressignificação do corpo feminino nos primeiros anos do Brasil República, na cidade do Recife, na década de 1920. Do ponto de vista teórico, este trabalho dialoga e se apoia nas reflexões de Joan Scott sobre o conceito de gênero e de Roger Chartier de representação. Por meio da análise de revistas publicadas na época, identificamos o quanto a melindrosa incomodava a sociedade, em um período marcado pelo fortalecimento da família nuclear burguesa e declínio da família patriarcal. As representações publicadas na imprensa maximizavam as características de um “novo padrão” adotado por mulheres e homens, na figura do almofadinha, adeptos da vida moderna. Em Recife e em outras regiões do país, o corpo se ressignificava inclusive nas noções de masculinidade e feminilidade. Ademais, o período em evidência ficou conhecido exatamente pelas modificações no que concerne às práticas sociais, e pelo advento da personagem em questão, que rompia com vários padrões da vida social.
Micróbios no convés: a peste bubônica e o fim das quarentenas no Brasil (1899-1904)
Authors: Silva Matheus Alves Duarte da
Published: November 2017

O presente artigo analisa as imbricações entre as epidemias de peste bubônica no Brasil, sobretudo no Rio de Janeiro, e o progressivo relaxamento das leis quarentenárias brasileiras até a extinção da prática da quarentena, em 1904. O artigo argumenta que, em primeiro lugar, a ameaça e, posteriormente, a presença da peste bubônica no país, catalisaram uma discussão profunda sobre a pertinência, ou não, do estabelecimento de quarentenas. E em segundo lugar, que foi a mudança na descrição do comportamento do bacilo da peste em território brasileiro ? passando de uma imagem de doença incontrolável e terrível para uma de dominável pelos avanços da civilização ? que possibilitou, em conjunto com outros fatores, entre eles os problemas comerciais, a extinção das quarentenas. O artigo utiliza como fontes a documentação oficial do Ministério da Justiça e Negócios Interiores, e também discussões sobre a temática da quarentena veiculadas em periódicos diários do Rio de Janeiro.
Eugenia bandeirista: o melhoramento da raça brasileira como falso propósito de saúde pública
Authors: Coelho George Leonardo Seabra
Published: November 2017

Neste artigo avaliaremos como os temas da Saúde Pública e da eugenia são apropriados pelo Movimento Bandeira e divulgado pela revista S. Paulo e pelo jornal Anhanguera. Não consideramos que esses temas sejam exclusivos do ideário bandeirista, visto que, esse debate já estava posto pelos higienistas e eugenistas no início do século XX, assim como, já havia sido tratado pela escrita literária de Monteiro Lobato. Mesmo que a relação entre Saúde Pública e eugenia não seja inaugurada com o ideário bandeirista, esse grupo ainda não estudado pela historiografia brasileira apresentou uma forma peculiar de abordar o tema da Saúde Pública e da eugenia. Nesse sentido, demonstraremos como o ideário deste grupo se colocou na arena política da década de trinta como mais uma proposta autoritária de remodelação da Nação.
