Multi-objective land allocation for zoning of ecosystem services in mountain forests
Authors: Sitko Roman , Scheer Ľubomír
Published: November 2019

The paper proposes a system for zoning of mountain areas based on the level of provisioning of ecosystem services. Techniques of multi-objective land allocation were applied to allocate complementary and conflicting objectives. The zoning system consists of four phases: i) Identification of criteria for the evaluation of ecosystem services; ii) Quantification of criteria for three different forestland states; iii) Evaluation of potential and effect of the forest on providing the ecosystem services and iv) Zoning of ecosystem services with their prioritization and spatial allocation of support measures. The study was conducted in the Tatra Mountains (Slovakia). Erosion control, avalanche control, wood production and cultural services were evaluated. The greatest differences between potential and effect of the evaluated ecosystem services were identified for the avalanche control. A comparison of our results with the existing (control) map of ecosystem services has proved that the proposed system is a potent means for multi-objective forest planning.

Published: November 2019

Background

Indirect sampling methods are not only inexpensive but also efficient for establishing reference intervals (RIs) using clinical data. This study was conducted to select fully normal records to establish age- and gender-specific RIs for common biochemical analytes by laboratory data mining.

Methods

In total, 280,206 records from 2014 to 2018 were obtained from Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Common biochemical analytes [total protein, albumin, total bilirubin (TBil), direct bilirubin (DBil), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), potassium, sodium, chlorine, calcium, urea, glucose, uric acid (UA), inorganic phosphorus, creatinine (Cr), total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol] were measured using an automatic analyzer. Sources of variation were identified by multiple regression analysis. The 2.5thand 97.5thpercentiles were calculated as the lower and upper limits of the RIs, respectively.

Results

Metode indirektnog uzorkovanja nisu samo jeftine, već su i efikasne za uspostavljanje referentnih intervala (RI) korišćenjem velike količine kliničkih podataka. Ova studija je sprovedena sa ciljem da se odaberu potpuno normalni pojedinačni zapisi da bi se utvrdio RI za starost i pol za zajedničke biohemijske analite pomoću laboratorijski dobijenih podataka.

Conclusions

Ukupno je uzeto 280.206 pojedinačnih rezultata u periodu od 2014. do 2018. godine iz bolnice Peking Union Medical College-a. Uobičajeni biohemijski analiti [ukupni protein, albumin, ukupni bilirubin (TBil), direktni bilirubin (DBil), alanin aminotransferaza (ALT), glutamiltranspeptidaza (GGT), alkalna fosfataza (ALP), aspartat aminotransferaza (AST), laktat dehidrogenaza (LAT) kalijum, natrijum, hlor, kalcijum, ureja, glukoza, mokraćna kiselina (UA), neorganski fosfor, kreatinin (Cr), ukupni hole sterol, trigliceridi, lipoprotein holesterola visoke gustine i lipoprotein holesterola niske gustine] mereni su korišćenjem automatskog analizatora. Izvori varijacije identifikovani su višestrukom regresionom analizom. Postoci (2,5 i 97,5) su izračunati kao donja i gornja granica RI, svaki ponaosob.

Authors: Bačkor Peter
Published: November 2019

Based on published findings (1900–2010), unpublished data from museum specimens (1965–1999) and data from recent field survey (2006–2013), the presence of altogether 15 bats species was recorded from the urban area of Banská Bystrica in Central Slovakia. Nyctalus noctula, Vespertilio murinus, Pipistrellus pipistrellus, Eptesicus serotinus and Myotis daubentonii were found as common species in the area. Nyctalus noctula was a predominant species (D=67.4), followed by Vespertilio murinus (D=15.2) and Pipistrellus pipistrellus (D=9.8). The systems of concrete blocks of flats (attic ventilation holes, dilatation fissures, various systems of plumbing accessories, damages of buildings, etc.) represent the most important features of the artificial urban habitat for bats. Most frequently, the hibernation aggregations found in the buildings were formed by Nyctalus noctula, Vespertilio murinus and Pipistrellus pipistrellus, while the occurrence of Myotis myotis, M. mystacinus and M. emargiantus was only occasional. No maternity roost of bats was recorded in the city of Banská Bystrica.

What to eat if there are no fruits in the forest? The food of Muscardinus avellanarius in non-typical habitats (Rodentia: Gliridae)
Authors: Büchner Sven , Bräsel Nicolle , Wolz Irmhild
Published: November 2019

Faeces of the hazel dormouse (Muscardinus avellanarius) were collected from two forests dominated by Norway spruce (Picea abies) and three by European beech (Fagus sylvatica) for comparison with faeces from a species-rich broad-leafed forest. Samples were analysed under the microscope. At the species-rich forest the hazel dormice consumed inflorescences, acorns from the previous year, fungi and arthropods in spring, fruits (soft mast) in summer and hard mast in the autumn. As expected, there was no, or nearly no, soft mast in the hazel dormouse diet in the beech and spruce forests. The main food sources were inflorescences, seeds, arthropods and a rather high percentage of vegetative plant material. Besides the remains of insects from eight orders, we also found spiders (Araneae), harvesters (Opiliones) and centipedes (Chilopoda) as prey of hazel dormice. Hazel dormice can feed in beech woods on beech nuts in the autumn. However, it is not yet clear how they are able to gain weight in spruce dominated forests.

Bat activity and bat migration at the elevation above 3,000 m at Hoher Sonnblick massif in the Central Alps, Austria (Chiroptera)
Authors: Widerin Karin , Reiter Guido
Published: November 2019

Recent studies on the presence and activity of bats at high elevations show, surprisingly, that large numbers of bats cross the Alps up to 2,500 m a. s. l. This study takes the next step: to investigate bat activity at an elevation above 3,000 m a. s. l. The main study site was located on the top of Hoher Sonnblick at 3,106 m a. s. l. (Salzburg, Austria). Bat activity was monitored during September and October 2014, and permanently from March to November 2015, with an automated recording device. To compare bat activity at a lower location, a study site at 2,273 m a. s. l. was also monitored from May to October 2015. Contrary to our expectations, we found bats present at 3,106 m from mid-April to mid-September. However, periods of bat activity at these high altitudes were shorter than at lower elevations and were interrupted by longer periods with no activity. Among the recorded species there were all the long-distance migrants in Europe: Nyctalus leisleri, N. noctula, Pipistrellus nathusii and Vespertilio murinus. Eptesicus nilssonii, a predominantly sedentary species, was also recorded on the mountain top as well as Pipistrellus pygmaeus. Bat activity was linked to milder weather conditions. However, we did record bats at wind speeds of up to 12.2 m/s and temperatures as low as –2.1 °C.
Characteristics of Developing Professional-Pedagogical Competency in University Teachers in the Context of Polish Experience
Authors: Horokhivska Tetiana
Published: November 2019

The article deals with the trends in the development of professional-pedagogical competency of university teachers in the Higher Education Area of the EU. It is emphasized that the creation of a global international educational environment requires a holistic technological strategy, whose primary tasks include analyzing the international educational space, standardizing technologies for professional development. The article also clarifies the concept of professional competency based on the analysis of international documents and activities of international organizations (The International Board of Standards for Training, Performance and Instruction; Die Internationale Gesselschaft fur Ingenieur Pedagogik; Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area, etc.). Specific attention is paid to the theoretical analysis of trends in the development of professional-pedagogical competency of university teachers in the context of the Polish experience. Various approaches of Polish scholars, practitioners and university teachers to defining the nature and content of competencies and competences are described (K. Denek, P. Kwolik, E. Wilczkowski, et al.). It is found that the study of teachers’ professional competency is an important scientific issue. In Poland, there is still no single approach to understanding the competences, whose formation and development are necessary for developing professional-pedagogical competency in university teachers in the context of higher education reforms (J. Bugaj, A. Kotusiewicz, R. KwaTnica, N. Kwiatkowska, A. Sajdak et al.). It is determined that the professional development of university teachers in the Republic of Poland, aimed at improving their professional-pedagogical competency, involves a system of professional retraining and advanced training, which are implemented under the conditions of both relevant educational institutions (universities) and directly in the field. It is concluded that the process of developing professional-pedagogical competency in Poland is considered as a complex multidimensional phenomenon, which ensures the continuing personal and professional growth and is an important component of the system of continuing education.

Published: November 2019

The fact that the current energy production resources have a tendency to be extinguished rapidly, the raw material prices have increased, their negative effects on the environment and human health, some difficulties in their use have increased the studies conducted on new and renewable energy sources in recent years. Among the renewable energy technologies, even though it is somewhat expensive, the easiest technology in terms of design and installation is the photovoltaic technology which is an application of solar energy. But its real superiority arises from the fact that it is a technology that does not pollute the environment, is environmentally friendly and has low maintenance costs. The use of solar energy has increased considerably with the increase in the use of renewable energy sources in the world and in our country in recent years and the roofs have had the largest share in this regard. Considering that more than 50% of the installed facilities in Germany and Italy, which are the starting point of solar energy in Europe, are on the roofs, the roofs have an important place in the increase of solar energy usage. Turkey is in fortunate situation compared to many countries in terms of the solar energy potential due to its geographical location. South Eastern Anatolia Region is the region that receives the most solar energy, this is followed by the Mediterranean Region. The logistics sector has recently been one of the sectors in which the solar energy is widely used in the world and in Turkey. In particular, significant reductions have been achieved in logistics costs with the solar energy systems installed on the roofs of the logistics warehouses, this event have increased the competitiveness of the companies. In addition, it is known that solar energy has been started to be used in the transportation activities and there are R & D studies for increasing road vehicles and cargo ships working with solar energy. In addition, efforts are being made to improve the solar-powered highways which strengthen the transport infrastructure and the logistics processes and these applications are becoming widespread. In study, the solar energy which is one of the mostly interested one among the renewable energy forms and the photovoltaic technology producing electrical energy using it will be discussed in this context, an then the current situation in Turkey and the World will be presented. Finally, the usage of the solar energy in the logistics sector and the applicaton examples in the world and in Turkey will be included.

Authors: Furtado Rafaely Ximenes de Sousa , Azevedo Eduardo Bessa , Motheo Artur De Jesus
Published: November 2019

This work studied the electrochemical degradation of alachlor and atrazine (alone and mixed with each other) using a filter-press cell, a dimensionally stable anode (DSA Ti/Ru0.3Ti0.7O2), initial pH 3.0, and temperature at 25 °C. The best operational conditions for alachlor (0.33 mmol L-1) degradation were obtained by a 32 factorial design, in which the factors/levels were: NaCl concentration (0.05, 0.1, and 0.15 mol L-1) and current density (10, 30, and 50 mA cm-2). Thus, 93.1% alachlor removal and 71.2% mineralization were achieved using 0.15 mol L-1 NaCl and 30 mA cm-2. In addition, the initial degradation products (DPs) of alachlor and atrazine were identified by liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Acute and chronic ecotoxicities for three trophic levels (fishes, daphnids and green algae) and lipophilicity (log D, pH 7.4) of the DPs were also estimated using the ECOSAR 1.11 and ChemAxon Calculator software, respectively. The present study showed that the electrochemical degradation is an efficient method for removing the herbicides alachlor and atrazine from water and that the DPs formed have lower pollution potential than their original compounds.

Published: November 2019

Alloys and composites that contain molybdenum have been studied due to their excellent properties, such as corrosion resistance and catalytic activity. In this work, the parameters for Cu-Zn-Mo system electrodeposition were studied, such as deposition potentials and concentration of electroactive species. The deposition potentials were examined using cyclic voltammetry and anodic linear stripping voltammetry (ALSV), the deposit morphology was evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and crystallographic characterization was carried out for X-ray diffraction (XRD). The voltammetry studies indicated co-deposition of the metals in potentials more negative than -1.2 V, and a potential deposition at -1.5 V was chosen. The coatings presented morphology compact with small agglomerated particles with cauliflower structures, and the content of molybdenum, copper, and zinc ranged from 5 to 8%, 30 to 40% and 20 to 28%, respectively.

The global rise of arts and culture is transforming local politics. Though new to many academic urban analysts, this is a commonplace for many mayors and local policymakers around the world. We seek to overcome this divide by joining culture and the arts with classic concepts of urban politics. We offer an analytical framework incorporating the politics of cultural policy alongside the typical political economic concerns in the urban politics and development literatures. Our framework synthesizes several research streams that combine in global factors driving the articulation of culture into city politics. This frames our studies of the local processes through which this articulation occurs on the ground in Toronto and Chicago.
Habitus, Hysteresis and Organizational Change in the Public Sector
Authors: McDonough Peggy , Polzer Jessica
Published: November 2019

This paper examines the daily struggles of unionized employees whose municipal workplace was undergoing major change influenced by New Public Management. In-depth interviews with 45 front-line service providers revealed widespread frustration with working conditions and relationships with management. We interpret this response as an embodied expression of hysteresis, a term that Bourdieu used to describe the gap between changing field conditions and habitus. We argue that organizational change posed challenges for these workers because it produced a rupture between their taken-for-granted ways of being a “good” public servant (i.e., public service habitus) and what was expected of them after restructuring. Moreover, on the basis of gendered occupational class differences in employees’ practices, we suggest that hysteresis is itself a socially-structured phenomenon that reflects the tacit calculation of what was possible (or not) for workers occupying specific positions within the stratified order of the organization.
Can Breastfeeding Solve Inequality? The Relative Moderating Impact of Breastfeeding on Poverty Gaps in Canadian Child Cognitive Skills
Authors: Rippeyoung Phyllis L. F.
Published: November 2019

Research has clearly shown that poverty has a negative impact on children’s cognitive skills. Much evidence points to the importance of family environment as an important moderator of this gap. One factor within the family environment, however, that has received comparatively little attention within Sociology is breastfeeding, despite the fact that a large body of literature has shown that breastfeeding is positively correlated with child cognitive skills and negatively correlated with poverty. Nonetheless, based on these correlations, many breastfeeding promotional materials and some public health research studies assume and argue that breastfeeding can remedy cognitive skills inequalities; although, these assumptions have never been empirically addressed. Thus, in this paper, I assess whether breastfeeding can address poverty gaps in cognitive skills in Canada using cycles 6 through 8 of the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth.
“Mr S, you do have sexual fantasies?” The Parole Hearing and Treatment of a Sex Offender at the Turn of the 21st Century
Authors: Lacombe Dany
Published: November 2019

How does the Parole Board decide a sex offender is rehabilitated and can be released into the community? This case study of a parole hearing reveals the significance the Parole Board gives to a sex offender’s management of his arousal as a clear sign of his rehabilitation. To explain the Board’s preoccupation with a sex offender’s sexual fantasies and arousal, I draw on a prison ethnography of a sex offender treatment program. Rehabilitation as risk management relies on the development of a crime cycle and relapse prevention plan designed to grasp the connection between fantasies, arousal and offending. I argue the parole hearing and treatment program exist in a symbiotic relationship that fabricates the sex offender into a species larger than life, one at risk of offending all the time.

Key words: rehabilitation, sex offenders, parole, sexual fantasies, ethnography, prison.
Sustainable Consumption and the Importance of Neighbourhood: A Central City/Suburb Comparison
Authors: Kennedy Emily Huddart , Krahn Harvey , Krogman Naomi
Published: November 2019

This paper applies urban and environmental sociological theory to survey data on self-reported sustainable consumption practices, using a matched sample of central city and suburban residents in Edmonton, Alberta. We use cluster analysis to create an ordinal typology of four types of consumers, conduct an analyses of variance to characterize the resultant clusters, and perform logistic regression to predict the net effect of urban and neighborhood context on sustainable consumption practices. We find that neighborhood and environmental attitude are the strongest predictors of sustainable consumption practices. We conclude by arguing many sustainable activities are more difficult to incorporate into daily routine when residing in the suburban neighbourhood. While suburban residents may feel strongly that they should consume less, their geographic location appears to significantly constrain their ability to meaningfully reduce their own consumption. This urban Canadian case study has implications for middle class environmental practices in other North American urban and suburban settings.
Counting and Contemporary Governance: Introduction to the Special Issue
Authors: Haan Michael
Published: November 2019

In many ways, the Census of Canada barely touches the lives of Canadians. It happens once every five years, requires only a few minutes to complete, and then nothing is heard from Statistics Canada, the agency responsible for administering the quincennial headcount, for nearly a year. As results begin to trickle out, only the smallest segments of society consult the information, and it is not always clear what they do with their newfound knowledge. So inconspicuous is the census that many Canadians would not even notice if Statistics Canada cancelled it altogether.
In the Shadows" Exploring the Notion of "Community" for Temporary Foreign Workers in a Boomtown
Authors: Foster Jason , Taylor Alison
Published: November 2019

The rapid expansion of the oil sands in northern Alberta in the early 21st century led to the use of significant numbers of temporary foreign workers. These foreign workers became a part of the region’s so-called “shadow population.” This paper examines how the presence of foreign workers affects conceptions of community and social cohesion through the experiences of foreign workers employed in oil sands construction. The study finds foreign workers are excluded from the life of the community due to their differential exclusion, vulnerable and precarious connection to the labour market, experiences of discrimination, and conflicted transnational community identities. The paper discusses

the shortcomings of community and social cohesion approaches in addressing temporary foreign workers and considers the policy limitations of a widespread temporary foreign worker program.
Role-taking, Emotion and the Two Selves
Authors: Scheff Thomas
Published: November 2019

This note links three hitherto separate subjects: role-taking, meditation, and theories of emotion, in order to conceptualize the makeup of the self. The idea of role-taking plays a central part in sociological theories of the self. Meditation implies the same process in terms of a deep self able to witness itself. Drama theories also depend upon a deep self that establishes a safe zone for resolving intense emotions. All three approaches imply both a creative deep self and the everyday self (ego) that is largely automated. The creativity of the deep self is illustrated with a real life example: an extraordinary psychotherapy experiment appears to have succeeded because it was based entirely on the intuitions of the therapist. At the other end from intuition, in one of her novels, Virginia Woolf suggested three crucial points about automated thought: incredible speed, role-taking, and by implication, the presence of a deep self. This essay goes on to explain how the ego is repetitive to the extent that it becomes mostly, and in unusual cases, completely automated (as in most dreams and all hallucinations). The rapidity of ordinary discourse and thought usually means that it is superficial, leading to greater and greater dysfunction, and less and less emotion. This idea suggests a new approach to the basis of ‘mental illness’ and of modern alienation.
Settler Governmentality and Racializing Surveillance in Canada's North-West
Authors: Monaghan Jeffrey
Published: November 2019

Abstract. Examining archival materials from the mid-1880s, this article details practices of racializing surveillance carried out in the North-West. I focus on the reports from an undercover agent from the Department of Indian Affairs named Peter Ballendine. Contributing to literature on Foucauldian interpretations of race and racialization, Ballendine’s correspondence reveals a campaign of covert surveillance and infiltration that imbued indigenous leaders with characteristics of dangerousness, abnormality, and deviance, translating indigenous demands for rights and dignity into threats to security of the budding Canadian settler state. Stressing that settler colonialism follows a structured logic of elimina- tion, I use the concept of settler governmentality to stress that the rationalities of colonial governance in the North-West approached indigeneity — especially expressions of counterconduct — as threats to the health, prosperity, and legit- imacy of settler society.
Theorizing the Deep Parallel between Goffman and Freud: Goffman's Interaction Order as a Social-structural Underpinning of Psychoanalytic Concepts of the Self
Authors: Hancock Black Hawk , Garner Roberta
Published: November 2019

A dialectical reading of Goffman and Freud connects the Interaction Order to the psychoanalytic conception of the self and thereby open up new possibilities of interpretation and transformation. Goffman’s concept of the Interaction Order enables us to understand more clearly the Freudian concepts of superego, ego-ideal, and the introjected Father. Next, we draw out the dramaturgical approach of both Goffman and Freud in terms of performing self and performing illness and discuss how the psychoanalytic reading of Goffman’s work sheds light on the formation of neuroses and the neurotic symptoms which Freud characterized as a type of performance. Here we link Freud’s “symptoms” to Goffman’s modes of disordered or flawed modes of interaction, specifically hysteria connected to havoc and obsessive compulsive disorder connected to hyperritualization. This dialectical reading allows us to rethink notions of sociality and thereby opens new possibilities for constituting the relation between the self and the social.

Challenging the Anthropomorphic Master Narrative in The Elementary Forms and Forging a More Materialist Durkheimianism
Authors: Pearce Frank
Published: November 2019

An implicit goal of The Elementary Forms of Religious Life is to show that a viable and effective morality can be developed for modern differentiated societies. Durkheim believed that for this morality to be experienced as obligatory, humankind needed to believe that its source was a living moral being with recognisably similar, albeit, more perfect, attributes to themselves. Durkheim was confident that in reality only society and, as metaphors for society, the monotheistic representations of God, fitted this criterion. Thus he was disposed to select from a range of representations of society sui generis anthropomorphic ones, thereby marginalising much of his previous work. This article draws on critical realists and Antonio Gramsci to critique Durkheim’s notion of society in this text and more broadly to interrogate his use of collective subjects such as the collective conscience. His conceptual system is shown to be incoherent and somewhat tautological. But this clears the way for a new theorization involving an articulation of certain of Durkheim’s valid concepts with a rather structuralist version of Gramsci’s concept of hegemony. The intention here is to provide a fresh interpretation of Durkheim and develop a more materialist Durkheimianism.
