Published: July 2018

Objective of the study was to investigate the current borders of the invasive species Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus distribution in the south of the Krasnodar Region and climatic factors limiting their expansion. Material and methods. Mosquito larvae, pupa and imago were collected in 21 inhabited localities in August–September, 2017, using conventional entomological methods, and identified through standard morphological keys. Climatic data found on the website pogoda. ru were analyzed using SPSS program. Results and conclusions. Ae. albopictus is widely spread along the Black Sea coast, from Adler to Novorossiysk (Ozereyevka), as well as on the north slopes of Caucasus up to Maikop. Additional investigations are required to specify the northern border of species distribution and to evidence the existence of established populations here. Ae. aegypti were not found in the south of the Krasnodar Region. The obtained data suggest a possibility of much wider spreading of dengue, Chikungunya and Zika fevers in case of pathogen importation to the south of Krasnodar Region, than was assumed earlier.

Published: July 2018

Analysis of brucellosis morbidity rates in humans and animals across the Russian Federation in 2017 is presented. Epidemic situation on the infection is characterized as unstable, the incidence and number of people with brucellosis are reduced in reference to the average long-term indicators by more than 20 %, against the background of epizootic situation aggravation as regards brucellosis of farm animals. There are cases of group outbreaks of brucellosis in the Stavropol Territory, Lipetsk and Penza Regions. According to the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance, analysis of the cumulative epizootic state of the population of epidemically significant species of cattle and small cattle in 2017 defines the risk of brucellosis in the Russian Federation as “high.” In 2018, the unstable epidemic situation on brucellosis will remain; there is high probability of outbreaks with cluster human incidence, including in the territory that is free from brucellosis. Predicted for 2018 morbidity rates on brucellosis in humans will be below the level of the average long-term morbidity and may be within the range of 330–360 cases.

Natural disasters, information/communication technologies, foreign direct investment and economic growth in developed countries
Authors: Benali Nadia , Feki Rochdi
Published: July 2018

This paper investigates the causal relationship between natural disasters (DMS), information and communication technologies (ICT), foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth (GDP per capita) for 10 developed countries over the period 1990 to 2016. Panel DOLS and FMOLS results show that there is a positive relationship running from ICT to natural disasters and to foreign direct investment. In addition, ICT have a positive effect on GDP per capita. VECM Granger causality analysis results reveal a unidirectional causality in the short and long term from ICT to natural disaster and to FDI at the 5% and 10% levels. Therefore, one may note that there is a unidirectional relationship running from natural disaster to GDP and a bidirectional relationship between FDI and GDP.

Chlorine-age based booster chlorination optimization in water distribution network considering the uncertainty of residuals
Authors: Xin Kunlun , Zhou Xiao , Qian Hao , Yan Hexiang , Tao Tao
Published: July 2018

Booster chlorination has been applied by many utilities for better chlorine-residual maintenance. In this paper, a new water-age based method for optimal location and dosage of booster disinfection has been proposed, as well as an uncertainty analysis of chlorine residuals. Chlorine-age, a novel indicator of water quality, is firstly introduced based on water age. By minimizing the total chlorine-age of nodes in a water distribution network (WDN), a new model for optimal booster location is proposed. The chlorine-age based model is independent of chlorine-decay simulation, and therefore avoids the complexity of obtaining kinetic parameters and prevents misleading results caused by inaccurate simulation of chlorine residuals. The uncertainties of chlorine residuals increase along with the distance and time consumption for delivering water. In this study, chlorine-age is employed to measure the uncertainties of nodal residuals, and optimal chlorine dosage is calculated considering the uncertainties. The proposed method has been tested on an example network and a real-life network to illustrate its validity and applicability. The results have shown that the method is feasible and reliable in practical application.
DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IN THE FIELD OF COMBATING THE LEGALIZATION OF CRIMINAL PROCEEDS AND THE FINANCING OF TERRORISM AGAINST THE BACKDROP OF EXTERNAL NEGATIVE
Authors: Vashchekina I. V.
Published: July 2018

The article considers financial monitoring systems that counteract money laundering and terrorism financing, divided into three levels. The first level is formed by associations of international status, at the second level are national systems, the third is formed by separate financial and commercial organizations interacting with the first two levels. The place of Russia in these international systems is allocated, methods of risk assessment and measures taken depending on their application are indicated. The contribution of Russian organizations to counteracting the legalization of illegal incomes has been analyzed. It is noted that at present time for laundering is characterized by constant complication of illegal schemes, speeding up illegal operations, using transit accounts, which leads to great financial and reputation losses. Clean-up schemes are present in many economic crimes, and in conditions of growing globalization, it is possible to combat these crimes only through concerted actions within the framework of international organizations. However, international cooperation in this field is complicated by the foreign policy crisis unfolding in the last four years. The curtailment of international cooperation is a sure way to defeat in the fight against the legalization of illegal incomes and the financing of terrorism.
The Mechanisms Behind the Biological Activity of Flavonoids
Authors: González-Paramás Ana María , Ayuda-Durán Begoña , Martínez Sofía , González-Manzano Susana , Santos-Buelga Celestino
Published: July 2018

:

Flavonoids are phenolic compounds widely distributed in the human diet. Their
intake has been associated with a decreased risk of different diseases such as cancer, immune
dysfunction or coronary heart disease. However, the knowledge about the mechanisms behind
their in vivo activity is limited and still under discussion. For years, their bioactivity was associated
with the direct antioxidant and radical scavenging properties of phenolic compounds,
but nowadays this assumption is unlikely to explain their putative health effects, or at least to
be the only explanation for them. New hypotheses about possible mechanisms have been postulated,
including the influence of the interaction of polyphenols and gut microbiota and also
the possibility that flavonoids or their metabolites could modify gene expression or act as potential
modulators of intracellular signaling cascades. This paper reviews all these topics,
from the classical view as antioxidants in the context of the Oxidative Stress theory to the
most recent tendencies related with the modulation of redox signaling pathways, modification
of gene expression or interactions with the intestinal microbiota. The use of C. elegans as a
model organism for the study of the molecular mechanisms involved in biological activity of
flavonoids is also discussed.
The Trans Primary Care Guide: A Community-Based Approach to Developing a Web-based, Illustrated Resource for Primary Health Care Providers (Preprint)
Authors: Speck Kelly Katharina , Wall Shelley L
Published: July 2018

BACKGROUND

There is a large gap in educational and training resources on trans-sensitive care in health professional curricula. In-person continuing medical education training sessions are often limited by time, place, and instructor availability. Web-based technologies offer the potential to easily reach primary care providers across the province. However, existing online training resources are lengthy in content, lack visual communication strategies, and do not encompass the multitude of different transition options sought by trans individuals.

OBJECTIVE

This article describes a community-based, participatory approach to the design and development of a web-based, illustrated resource guide with non-sequential access to medical and basic care protocols and guidelines to improve primary care providers' knowledge and confidence in caring for trans clients.

METHODS

The design and development of the Trans Primary Care Guide was informed by a participatory design research strategy focused on iterative improvement of the resource through iterative review by an advisory committee, formative evaluations with trans participants and primary care providers, and usability testing.

RESULTS

A web-based, illustrated resource (Trans Primary Care Guide) was developed to educate primary care providers on the health care needs of trans and gender-diverse people.

CONCLUSIONS

Successful implementation of the web-based resource was in part due to the utilization of design strategies to help primary care providers contextualize trans-competencies, the community-academic partnership and due to the early engagement of trans participants to ensure that information is gender affirming and culturally specific to regional community needs.

Neoliberalism and Gender Equality: Canadian Newspapers’ Representations of the Ban of Face Coverings at Citizenship Ceremonies
Authors: Previsic Ivana
Published: July 2018

In late 2011, Canada’s Conservative government banned face coverings for those taking oath at citizenship ceremonies. The ban was unequivocally interpreted by the press to be targeting veil-wearing Muslim women. This paper analyzes newspaper coverage in the month following the announcement of the policy. It argues that most commentators conceptualized citizenship to be a neoliberal tool of rescuing veiled Muslim women from their male oppressors and making them more like the equal/neoliberal “us” and/or as a reward for those who already are or will become equal/neoliberal. Most non-Muslim commentators constructed gender oppression as the reason for which veiled women should (not) become citizens. Gender equality in Canada was represented as a key national value and inequality was erased or minimized and presented as a Muslim problem. In attempting to deflect these arguments, most Muslim commentators silenced gender inequality among Muslims by arguing that veiled Muslim women choose the practice and by relegating gender oppression to Western societies, thereby constructing veiled Muslim women as ideal neoliberal subjects worthy of Canadian citizenship.
Criteria and Methodologies for Assessing Efficiency of Environmental Government Programs in the Russian Federation
Authors: Margolin Andrey
Published: July 2018

Existing approaches to performance evaluation for environmental government programs require improvement. In the Russian context, the obstacles to objective evaluation include: target indicators for state programs are not set according to SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) criteria; the importance of budget efficiency indicators for investment decision-making is underestimated; and, some approaches to ex post evaluation of government programs are oversimplified. Specific recommendations are given that would allow improvement of the methodology for ex ante appraisal and ex-post evaluation of environmental programs. A flowchart is developed to guide decision-making on whether to terminate or continue the program on the basis of its overall evaluation rating, which is calculated using a modified Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART), and the degree of conformity between actual and planned volume of financing. The flowchart represents a formalized procedure for the adjustment of the program implementation period and schedules for the achievement of target values for individual indicators; review of target indicator values; funding amounts and schedules; and change of management. A case study of two Russian environmental programs, Pure Water and Water Industry Development, is used to test the approaches recommended by the author.
The European Stability Mechanism and the IMF: From the Enhanced Cooperation to Embedded Supervisor
Authors: Climie Cameron
Published: July 2018

This paper examines the role played by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), finding that the ESM has greatly expanded the IMF’s surveillance and oversight roles in the European Monetary Union (EMU). Building from a liberal intergovernmental framework of integration analysis, this paper argues that the IMF’s function as a de facto EMU supervisor in the ESM, a significant break from prior European integration, stems from the alignment of crisis response preferences amongst the EMU’s largest economies, the erosion of the credibility of the European Commission as an enforcer of structural reforms, and the IMF’s close fit with the preferred institutional arrangements that derived from the bargaining dynamics between euro members.
Economic Patriotism After the Crisis: Explaining Continuity and Change in European Securities Enforcement
Authors: Foster Chase
Published: July 2018

Since the global financial crisis, European governments have sought to intensify the supervision of financial markets. Yet, few studies have empirically examined whether regulatory approaches have systematically shifted in the aftermath of the crisis, and how these reforms have been mediated by longstanding national strategies to promote domestic financial interests in the European single market. Examining hundreds of enforcement actions in three key European jurisdictions, I find a mixed pattern of continuity and change in the aftermath of the crisis. In the UK, aggregate monetary penalties and criminal sanctions have skyrocketed since 2009, while in France and Germany, the enforcement pattern suggests continuity, with both countries assessing penalties and prosecuting insider trading at similar rates before and after the crisis. I conclude that financial regulation is still structured by longstanding industrial strategies (Story and Walter, 1997), but where pre-existing regulatory approaches were seen as contributing to the crisis, a broader regulatory overhaul has been pursued. Thus, in the UK, where the financial crisis served as a direct rebuke to the country’s “light touch” regulation, financial supervision was overhauled, and monetary sanctions dramatically increased, to preserve London’s status as an international financial centre. By contrast, in France and Germany, where domestic regulatory systems were implicated by the financial crisis, domestic securities supervision and enforcement was less dramatically altered. While the crisis has led to the further institutionalization of European-level supervisory institutions, these changes have not yet led to convergence in national regulatory approaches.

The Effect of Membership in the European Monetary Union on Trade Between Member Countries (An Empirical Study)
Authors: Soroka Ihor
Published: July 2018

The question of whether or not to adopt the euro is a very important one, not only for the 13 European Union members that do not share the same currency, but also for future EU candidates. Current literature on the effect of the euro on trade is scarce since the European Monetary Union (EMU) was officially created in 1999, and up until recently there has not been enough data to analyze this issue. This paper aims to estimate the effect of the euro on trade between member countries using the standard gravity model of trade. Using data from current 25 EU members over the period from 1997 to 2004, I show that higher trade volumes between EMU members cannot be attributed to the adoption of the euro. I find evidence that the euro adoption has had a short-run effect on bilateral trade and that this effect is eliminated over a short period of time. My findings suggest that members of the EMU trade on average from 8.8% to 47% more compared to non-members depending on the type of regression used, while members of the Free Trade Agreement trade 61.3% more. The effect of the euro on trade is eliminated as soon as I control for country-pair specific effects that include the FTA effect as well as history of trade relations between two countries. I conclude that the adoption of the euro should be seen as a final step in the European economic and monetary integration for countries that already benefit from relatively high volumes of bilateral trade.

Citoyenneté européenne, transnationale ou globale : penser la citoyenneté au-delà de l’État. Analyse critique d’un débat
Authors: Auvachez Élise
Published: July 2018

Objet politique pas toujours identifié, mais souvent controversé, la citoyenneté européenne, près de 15 ans après son introduction dans le Traité de Maastricht, continue de susciter le débat : quelle citoyenneté pour quelle Europe ? Quelle autonomie pour une citoyenneté européenne dont l’acquisition reste soumise à des règles nationales ? Finalement, la citoyenneté européenne est-elle possible ? La présente communication propose de lire la problématique de la citoyenneté européenne à la lumière d’un prisme élargissant l’intégrant dans un questionnement dépassant le débat spécifiquement européen, celui de la gouvernance supranationale. Les dynamiques de globalisation et de fragmentation qui caractérisent le contexte contemporain se traduisent dans la sphère politique par la multiplication des paliers de régulation. La sphère nationale n’est plus dans cette perspective le seul locus de la vie politique ; les enjeux et les rapports de force politiques se jouent à des échelles multiples. Ce constat a donné naissance à une prolifération d’analyses concernant la dimension de plus en plus européenne, post/trans/supra-nationale, voire globale, de la citoyenneté. Celles-ci constituent néanmoins un corpus théorique un corpus théorique marqué par une compréhension à la fois fractionnée et diluée de la notion de citoyenneté supranationale et caractérisé par une perspective statique conférant au débat entre les partisans d’une citoyenneté au-delà de l’État et les avocats d’une citoyenneté par essence nationale une circularité stérile. La démarche théorique proposée consiste alors moins à tenter de caractériser les changements contemporains à la lumière des critères de la citoyenneté dans une perspective dichotomique pour savoir si « la » citoyenneté est nationale ou postnationale mais plutôt à comprendre la « citoyennisation », la construction et la définition d’une citoyenneté au-delà de l’État-nation, en relation avec la constitution et la consolidation d’entités politiques supranationales.
The promotion of security sector reform strategies: Comparing the roles of the European Union and Canada
Authors: Vandemoorteele Antoine
Published: July 2018

This article analyzes the role of the European Union (EU) and Canada in the promotion of Security Sector Reforms (SSR) activities in two regional organizations, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The concept of SSR seeks to address the effective governance of security in post-conflict environment by transforming the security institutions within a country in order for them to have more efficient, legitimate and democratic role in implementing security. Recent debates within the EU have led to the adoption of an SSR concept from the Council and a new strategy from the European Commission on the SSR activities. Within the framework of the ESDP, the EU has positioned itself as a leading actor, in this domain, including in its crisis management operations. On the other hand, Canada, through its whole-of government and human security programs has also been an important actor in the promotion of SSR activities. Yet, even though several international organizations (including the United Nations, the OSCE and NATO) are effectively doing SSR activities on the ground, there does not exist a common framework within any of these organizations despite the role of the EU and Canada. As such, it is surprising to found no global common policy for SSR while this approach is precisely holistic in its foundations. Taking these elements into consideration, this paper analyzes two specific aspects : a) the absence of a common policy framework within international organizations and b) the major differences between the approaches of the OSCE and NATO in the domain of SSR and the implications for the EU and Canada’ roles.
Democratic and Market Governance in Romania: Between Domestic Politics and EU Accession
Authors: Young Patricia T
Published: July 2018

Institutional reforms to regulate the market environment and the proper functioning of democracy have been mandated by the European Union to accession countries. In spite of the uniform creation of such regulatory frameworks, governance problems persist, especially in the newest members of the EU. I analyze the institution al reform record in both market and political governance, as well as the effectiveness of these institutions, in the case of Romania, one of the laggards of reform. I argue that the EU did significantly support reform efforts, but insufficient domestic commitment to reform has resulted in ineffective institutions.
The Growing Influence of the Courts over the Fate of Refugees
Authors: Soennecken Dagmar
Published: July 2018

A number of migration scholars suggest that domestic courts have become the key protective institution for refugees. How can we explain this claim? One prominent explanation identifies group litigation as the key source of the increasing influence of the courts. How well does this explanation travel empirically? The article evaluates this explanation by examining the puzzling behaviour of German refugee NGOs. They have not entered the legal arena directly (either as parties or as interveners), nor have they concentrated on developing extensive litigation campaigns. Still, they are remarkably ‘judicialized’: their frequent engagement with the law in other respects has heightened their legal consciousness. Why have German refugee NGOs made such different choices than their North American counterparts and what do these choices tell us about the expanding influence of the courts over the fate of refugees in Germany and North America? To make sense of the different choices that these organizations have made, we need to understand the role that institutional norms and procedures, in particular policy legacies, have played in directing the behaviour and identity of these groups. For a number of reasons, German refugee NGOs historically have been discouraged from directly accessing the courts in favour of indirect participation. Since Canadian and American refugee organizations follow a pattern closer to the expectations of the (largely North American) literature on the subject, we need to be more careful in thinking through ou
EU Equality Commitments and Shifting Meanings of Gender Equality
Authors: Black Erin J.
Published: July 2018

This article follows the development of a European Union gender equality regime through three broad periods: equal treatment policies, positive action measures, and Gender Mainstreaming. The policy-making process entails conflict between competing policy frames; unequal resources behind each secures the dominance of an economic frame. Strategical framing practices have been employed by equality advocates to overcome this disadvantage. This article traces the gradual shifts in meaning within each period until equality goals are integrated into the dominant economic policy frame. It concludes that equality advocates need to engage in deeper analyses of power in order to sustain attention to equality goals over longer periods of time.
Five Lessons from European Democracy
Authors: Matijasevich David
Published: July 2018

Outside of some states still struggling with post-communist transitions, Europe itself may be the first European democracy to collapse in decades. Though never a bastion of participatory democracy and even subject to continuous criticism due to its democratic deficit, the European Union (EU) has provided hope to those who envision a post-national democratic political community. As such, whether the EU survives its present crisis or not, cosmopolitan democrats will look to the EU as a vindication of their ideals. Though perhaps surprising given their track record, this paper will argue that political scientists, especially those concerned with democratization, can also be optimistic about what the EU has brought to the table in terms of how we conceive processes of democratic development. Throughout the paper it will be demonstrated that the creation and maintenance of the European democracy has challenged much of the literature's fundamental assumptions of what makes democracy work. Five key lessons from the European democratic experience will be presented in an attempt to disrupt some of these assumptions including lessons regarding the diversity of the demos, the contingency of democratic upkeep, the challenges of the state, the role of elites in political transformation, and the necessity of exclusion within inclusive spaces. Though a general theory of democracy will not be presented, suggestions will be made as to how we can incorporate some of these lessons into the dominant approaches to democracy found in the literature.
Rethinking the Open Method of Coordination: Mutual Learning Initiatives Shaping the European Research Enterprise
Authors: Tamtik Merli
Published: July 2018

Since 2000, the Open Method of Coordination (OMC) has become a policy approach increasingly used in the European policy making process. By focusing on research policy, this study examines the ways in which the OMC and the mutual learning initiatives have influenced the wider policy discourse in the European Union. The paper argues that it is important to think about the contributions of the OMC in research policy in more broad and fundamental ways. This theory-guided study takes an empirical approach to the OMC, providing significant evidence on mutual learning effects analyzed in terms of developing an authentic dialogue, shaping policy discourse, shaping policy networks and facilitating collaborative learning. The analysis reveals that the OMC changes the ways in which the representatives from the Member States and the European Commission contribute to research policy, leading to a promising foundation for further policy enhancement.
Democratization in Serbia: An Analysis of Rational Choice and Structuralist Explanations
Authors: Apostolov-Dimitrijevic Dunja
Published: July 2018

This paper explains political democratization in Post-Milosevic Serbia, utilizing two different accounts of the democratization process: one rooted in the rational choice framework and the other in structuralism. While rational choice explains the decisive role of political leadership in overcoming path dependence, the structuralist explanations show the transnational linkages that encourage democratization in the face of domestic setbacks. This particular debate between the two types of explanations represents the larger debate concerning the role of internal factors and external linkages in propelling democratization in transitional societies. The paper concludes by integrating the two sets of explanations offered by each theoretical perspective, in order to develop a coherent understanding of Serbia's democratization.
The Politics of Face Coverings and Masks in Russia, France, and Quebec
Authors: Chandler Andrea
Published: July 2018

Since 2004, governments in a number of countries have initiated tense political debates over the question of whether religious symbols should be permitted in public places. Frequently, such debates have focussed on the head and face coverings worn by many observant Muslim women, as has been explored by a rich scholarly  literature. However, relatively little has been written about the specific reasons why these laws have been adopted, and few cross-national  comparisons have been made. This paper will examine the following cases: first, the law against wearing face coverings in France, adopted during Nicolas Sarkozy’s presidency in 2010; and second,  the extensive debates about access to government services for people wearing religious clothing  in Québèc (Canada). Finally, the paper will examine the distinct case of Russia, where high court decisions have revealed a reversal in the authorities’ former tolerance of  the wearing of  head coverings in public places. Three variables help to explain why these laws came upon the political agenda in these admittedly very different countries.  First, all three adopted previous measures to limit citizens’ ability to don face coverings during political protests; second, these countries’ choices influenced each other, showing the importance that global influences can play in policy formation; and finally, political leaders attempted  to use laws on face and head coverings as a strategy to reinforce their power.
ROYALTY OF INDONESIAN SONGS COPYRIGHTS AT YAYASAN KARYA CIPTA INDONESIA ISSUED BY LAW NUMBER 19 OF 2002 ON COPYRIGHTS
Authors: Sudini Luh Putu
Published: July 2018

This article aims at describing the role of Yayasan Karya Cipta Indonesia (YKCI) in copyright protection in Indonesia and the mechanism of royalty payment on Indonesian songs to the YKCI. The approach used in this study is normative approach as this study is conducted on secondary, primary, and tertiary legal materials, such as books, legal journals, and expert (secondary data) research results; its main legislation is Law no. 19 of 2002 on Copyright (primary data); English and Indonesia dictionaries and tertiary law which is the result of library research, supported by legal materials in the form of documents from field research results. From the collected legal materials, analysis in the method of the qualitative descriptive was conducted. The results indicated that YKCI's role as an administrator body in copyright protection is to collect royalties from parties that use songs or music commercially and help dispute resolution between creators, users or record producers of songs or music creations. Furthermore, the mechanism of royalty payments to YKCI shall be initiated by the authorization of YKCI by the creator or the copyright holder of the song, so on the basis of such power of attorney, YKCI exercises the collection or withdrawal of royalties by a percentage mechanism from the dealer's selling price through a permit saving per song at a rate for recording into a cassette, CD, VCD, and other media. Law Number 19 of 2002 on Copyright should be accompanied by the willingness and ability of the apparatus in enforcing it so that what to be achieved with the Act can be obtained. In addition, it is recommended that the government immediately issue provisions on the roles, duties and functions of the Copyright Council as well as the organic rules that explain the authority of YKCI which may be the appointment of the Director-General of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) as endorsement of a collective society in order to attract royalties. The government also needs to make a standard contract of licensing agreement between the Copyright of Songs and Music in the event of announcement. In addition, YKCI also needs to be open including to the power of attorney (Creator of the song) so that the Creator can know the frequency of their song announcement and the large royalty that must be obtained.

β3-adrenergic receptor (AR) agonists are approved to treat only overactive bladder. However, rodent studies suggest that these drugs could have other beneficial effects on human metabolism. We performed tissue receptor profiling and showed that the human β3-AR mRNA is also highly expressed in gallbladder and brown adipose tissue (BAT). We next studied the clinical implications of this distribution in 12 healthy men given one-time randomized doses of placebo, the approved dose of 50 mg, and 200 mg of the β3-AR agonist mirabegron. There was a more-than-dose-proportional increase in BAT metabolic activity as measured by [18F]-2-fluoro-D-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (medians 0.0 vs. 18.2 vs. 305.6 mL ⋅ mean standardized uptake value [SUVmean] ⋅ g/mL). Only the 200-mg dose elevated both nonesterified fatty acids (68%) and resting energy expenditure (5.8%). Previously undescribed increases in gallbladder size (35%) and reductions in conjugated bile acids were also discovered. Therefore, besides urinary bladder relaxation, the human β3-AR contributes to white adipose tissue lipolysis, BAT thermogenesis, gallbladder relaxation, and bile acid metabolism. This physiology should be considered in the development of more selective β3-AR agonists to treat obesity-related complications.
Exploring Typology of Residents Staying in Disaster-Prone Areas: A Case Study in Tambak Lorok, Semarang, Indonesia
Authors: Amin Choirul , Sukamdi S , Rijanta R
Published: July 2018

Studies about population immobility, especially immobility associated with climate change-related disaster, are very limited. As a consequence, the explanation of population immobility in disaster prone areas is still blurred. This study contributes in explaining population immobility by exploring the typology of residents who did not move from disaster-prone areas. The survey was conducted towards the residents of Kampung Tambak Lorok Semarang, which is prone to three disasters simultaneously i.e. sea level rise, land subsidence, and tidal inundation. The study sample was 235 heads of households selected using proportional sampling area technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire consisting of two parts: (1) demographic, social, and economic characteristics of people who did not move from disaster prone areas; and (2) staying intention in disaster prone areas. Data analysis used descriptive analysis by using table and graph of respondent characteristic and relation between respondent characteristic and staying intention in research area. Three (3) typologies have been identified, namely: Type-1 are residents who wishes to stay; Type-2 are residents who still have not decided whether to stay or move; and Type-3 are residents who do not want to stay/want to move. Each of these typologies is described by place of birth, age, length of stay, education, occupation, and income. The understanding of the typology of residents living in disaster prone areas is important as inputs for policy-makers, especially regarding the relocation of people from disaster prone areas to be effective. The results of this study also contribute empirical evidence to the migration theory debate at the micro level, namely that the staying intention is a key element in the 'black box' of immobile decision-making from disaster prone areas.

Supervised classification, one of the digital classification approaches to differentiate between built-up and non-built-up area, used to be leading in digital studies of urban area. Then the next generation uses index transformation for automatic urban data extraction. The extraction of urban built-up land can be automatically done with NDBI although it has one limitation on separating built-up land and bare land. The previous studies provide opportunities for further research to increase the accuracy of the extraction, particularly using index transformation. This study aims to obtain the maximum accuracy of the extraction by merging several indices including NDBI, NDVI, MNDWI, NDWI, and SAVI. The merging of the indices is using four stages: merging of two indices, three indices, four indexes and five indices. Several operations were experimented to merge the indices, either by addition, subtraction, or multiplication. The results show that merging NDBI and MNDWI produce the highest accuracy of 90.30% either by multiplication (overlay) or reduction. Application of SAVI, NDBI, and NDWI also gives a good effect for extracting urban built-up areas and has 85.72% mapping accuracy.

Elecciones nacionales y política sub nacional: Las elecciones nacionales 2013 en un departamento de la provincia de Santiago del Estero
Authors: Campos Hernan
Published: July 2018

El artículo abordó las elecciones nacionales 2013 que sucedieron a nivel departamental en la provincia de Santiago del Estero, centrándose en la descripción de un Departamento del sur de la provincia.

Se estudió las disputas políticas del oficialismo provincial en espacios departamentales para dar cuenta de la complejidad de lo político.

La política departamental o sub provincial es una categoría que supone la construcción de problemas de estudio diferentes del nivel nacional o provincial. Permite mostrar cómo los actores políticos, organizaciones, partidos y/o frentes acumulan poder de un modo situado, produciendo relaciones de poder propias y relacionales con los otros niveles.

Es poco abordado el juego político en los departamentos, lo que se juega y cómo se juega. La hipótesis trabajada es que en las elecciones nacionales del año 2013, las disputas políticas electorales de las facciones peronistas o radicales del oficialismo provincial en cada departamento pueden dotarse de conflictos particulares, y que posibilitó consolidar el liderazgo excluyente del Frente Cívico a nivel provincial.
Fomentar la herejía, combatir el dogma. Polémicas culturales en la Revolución Cubana (1959-1964)
Authors: Candiano Leonardo Martín
Published: July 2018

El trabajo inquiere en los debates culturales desarrollados en los primeros años de la Revolución Cubana a través de un análisis crítico de las reflexiones publicadas por intelectuales integrados al proceso entre 1959 y 1964, y establece puntos de contacto entre aquellas suscitadas previamente a la declaración del carácter socialista de la Revolución y las posteriores. Tales polémicas permiten acceder a una de las peculiaridades del proceso en sus comienzos: la amplitud en la convocatoria a los intelectuales a sumarse a la gestión cultural de la isla, lo que vuelve coherente la heterogeneidad de posturas sobre el quehacer estético presentes en el seno de la Revolución. Desde este lugar, el texto discute lecturas que sentencian la uniformidad ideológica y cultural de Cuba desde su ingreso a la órbita socialista, y ofrece un diálogo crítico con los estudios referidos a esta temática.El estudio se realizó desde un enfoque cualitativo y sincrónico, a través de un trabajo de documentación que incluyó fuentes primarias y secundarias. Los debates fueron sistematizados mediante el empleo de herramientas de la crítica textual, del comparatismo y de abordajes teóricos y críticos. A ello se sumó una perspectiva histórico-cultural que permitió encuadrar en su específico marco temporal las polémicas examinadas.
El conocimiento antropológico en el marco del Proceso de Memoria, Verdad y Justicia. Reflexiones sobre una experiencia como “testigo de contexto” en el marco del Juicio “Operativo Independencia (primera parte)”
Authors: Garaño Santiago
Published: July 2018

En este trabajo me interesa reflexionar sobre una nueva figura que ha ido ganando presencia en los juicios por delitos de lesa humanidad desarrollados desde 2005: la del “testigo de contexto”, aquel especialista –generalmente de las ciencias sociales– que es presentado en calidad de testigo y cuyo aporte es tomado como prueba testimonial (Abbattista, Barletta y Lenci, 2016). Para ello, me basaré en mi participación en el marco del juicio oral y púbico “Operativo Independencia (primera parte)”, en el que declaré sobre mi investigación doctoral acerca de la experiencia de los soldados conscriptos en el sur tucumano durante dicho Operativo, entre 1975 y 1977. En particular, sostendré que las ciencias sociales pueden aportar reconstrucciones minuciosas de la lógica de la represión que nos ayuden a comprender cómo fue posible el ejercicio del terror de Estado.

Wright entre medianeras. Rubén O. Pesci y la domesticidad orgánica en las viviendas platenses 1964-1968
Authors: De Grandis María Belen
Published: July 2018

El arquitecto Rubén O. Pesci, reconocido principalmente por su larga trayectoria en el planeamiento urbano sustentableo “ecología urbana” diseñó, a lo largo de la década del 60, numerosas viviendas que aportaron a la transformación de la arquitectura doméstica local y pusieron en juego nuevas experimentaciones espaciales en función de los ideales orgánicos que habían tomado un impor-tante desarrollo en el seno de la Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo de la Plata.

Estas obras, concebidas bajo la premisa de la originalidad de cada propuesta de acuerdo al sitio particular y que tenían al arquitecto Frank Lloyd Wright como principal referente, fueron reinterpre-tadas y teorizadas por él mismo con posterioridad, bajo el tamiz de las distintas teorías que ingre-saron en la disciplina a lo largo de las siguientes décadas y que desplazaron sus intereses a otros ámbitos de la profesión.

Este artículo se propone una revisión de las primeras viviendas desarrolladas por el estudio creado por R. O. Pesci con Héctor A. Rossi y Luis M. Rossi en función de entender los cambios propuestos a partir de dos premisas; la superación de la relación con la medianera para la conformación de es-pacios dinámicos en la necesidad de adaptar los modelos wrightianos a las condiciones limitantes de los terrenos urbanos, y la espacialidad interior potenciada por el hogar como principal elemento articulador de origen orgánico.
