Examining the Long-Haul Relationship between Primary Education and Economic Growth: Evidence from Three Populous Nations
Authors: Tewari Rachna , Mehlhorn Joey , Parrott Scott D.
Published: November 2015

The prominence of early education as a significant source of economic growth has long been an intriguing topic among economists. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between primary education and GDP as a measure of economic growth in China, India, and the U.S, the top three populous nations in the world, and to investigate for plausible reasons leading to the differences observed among the mentioned countries of study. Data derived from the Education Statistics of the World Bank from 1970-2012 were subject to the ordinary least square (OLS) estimation procedure, to obtain regression coefficients as a measure of influence of the study variables on economic growth. Results revealed that for all the three study countries characterized by high populations, an increase in the number of students enrolled in primary education positively impacted economic growth. Mortality rate, primary school graduation age population (female), population aged 0 to 14 as percentage of total population, and primary school enrollment ratio showed significant negative impacts on GDP. Marked differences were revealed for individual country regressions regarding the influence of the study variables on economic growth. Gender related differences in primary education graduating population can be attributed to varied differences in the cultural and social systems among the study countries. Both male and female primary education graduation age population showed no statistical significance on economic growth in the U.S, while for China and India the effects on economic growth were significant with clearly outlined gender related differences in primary education graduation age population. This study builds ground for further research on how the accumulation of human capital through education in these countries will impact the geographical concentration of global economic power in the future.
Exposing the Ruins of Law: The Rhetorical Contours of Recognition's Demand
Authors: Burgess Sarah K.
Published: November 2015

This article examines the rhetorical structure of the demand for recognition in order to refigure the relationship between law and the scene of address in political and theoretical accounts of recognition. It begins by demonstrating that theorists and critics of the politics of recognition assume that law limns the scene of recognition, framing it in a way that contains its practices and marks its end. The difficulty of such a presumption, however, is that, if law is afforded the status of a frame or background, we are unable to account for the rhetorical operations of law—the way it constitutes the norms of recognizability. A reading of the U. K.'s Gender Recognition Act of 2004 provides a brief example of how a demand for recognition might expose law's rhetorical conditions and demonstrate how legal judgment presupposes a scene of recognition in which both subjects and law take (up a) place.
Humor Across Media in the 1920s and 1930s
Authors: King Rob
Published: November 2015

This introduction to a special issue on American humor across media in the 1920s and 1930s frames the five essays that follow in relation to two major analytical issues. It proposes, first, that transmedial analysis attend to the material factors that support the circulation of comic tropes and personas across media forms; and second, that specific manifestations of those tropes/personas be examined in relation to the varying properties of the media involved. The 1920s and 1930s present a case study for such an investigation.
Determinants of financial policy in the hospitality sector in the United States
Authors: Dewally Michaël , Flaherty Susan M.V. , Shao Yingying
Published: November 2015

This article investigates the circumstances surrounding large investments by firms in the hospitality sector in the United States. The authors identify 400 large-scale investment events for firms in the restaurant, hotel, and recreation industries. During these events, firms increase their size substantially through building or acquiring assets. The authors determine that a combination of market and firm-specific factors lead to such events. Firms are more likely to engage in large investments when they have experienced strong recent sales growth and when they have lower existing leverage. These investments are more likely when the market is less volatile and when general economic conditions indicate strong consumer demand. Finally, the authors show that firms are more likely to rely on a combination of cash flow and debt financing to complete such investments, though firms experiencing higher sales growth are prone to use more equity financing.
Economía Ecológica ante la Economía Ambiental para la Reproducción de la Naturaleza en función de la vida
Authors: Flores Silva Jorge
Published: November 2015

El problema de los recursos naturales, su explotación y distribución y las implicaciones que acarrea, es un problema complejo, sus causas son diversas y su solución aparte de ser una dificultad técnica, también es de decisión política. Priva el crecimiento que se concibe como un fin en sí mismo y se subestima la política que tiene como centro y fin la vida del ser humano.El desequilibrio ecológico es resultado de la acción humana, producto de una conciencia antiecológica que privilegia el tener por sobre el ser, promoviendo un estilo de vida consumista, que lleva al ser humano a producir y consumir, en donde los valores supremos son las leyes del mercado, cuyas exigencias van en detrimento de la naturaleza y los recursos que ella provee.La lógica del crecimiento en que se ha apoyado el modelo de producción es la que obedece a la maximización de las ganancias, con disminución de costos, que lleva a explotar la tierra y sus recursos sin guardar la racionalidad, en detrimento del equilibrio ecológico y del mismo ser humano que debe ser el sujeto y fin de la actividad económica.Economía y Administración (E&A) Vol.5(2) 2014; 91-104

Quality Traits of Longissimus thoracis and lumborum and Gluteus medium Muscles from Cull Dairy Holstein-Friesian Cows
Authors: Santos Carlos , Moniz Carlos , Roseiro Cristina , Medeiros Vera , Afonso Isabel , Tavares Marina , Dias Manuel A. , Da Ponte Duarte J. B.
Published: November 2015

Longissimus thoracis and lumborum (LTL) and Gluteus medius (Gm) muscles of culled dairy cows, differing in production status (Ps) at slaughter and carcass weight were assessed for intramuscular fat and myoglobin, color, shear force (SF) and sensorial characteristics, after being aged for 2, 7, 14, 28 and 42 days. Meat from dried-off cows was lighter, redder and had higher yellowness and chroma (P < 0.05) than lactating cows. Meat of finished fed cows improved in color in relation to counterparts directly slaughtered, but not significantly. Color parameters increased with aging time and the mean values of LTL and Gm significantly differed mostly among lactating cows. SF of meat was affected by aging time, muscle type, Ps and by their respective interactions (P < 0.001), with a greater impact in LTL muscle. Meat from LTL muscle of dried-off cows had lower SF (47.30 N) than that of lactating cows (65.61 N) (P < 0.05), but such differences were not significant for Gm muscle. Meat tenderness of finished fed cows was higher than counterparts not finished (P > 0.05). Main effects and the results from their interactions were significant for all sensorial attributes (P < 0.001).
Ethnography Study in Malang, Indonesia: Petekan Tradition in Tengger Community
Authors: Kresna Rendra , Sholahuddin Agus , Sadhana Kridawati
Published: November 2015

This research is discussing about a tradition in Tengger community, Indonesia. The tradition is named as Petekan which means pressing or pushing lower abdomen in order to know whether a woman who is in fertile period is pregnant or not. The tradition was conducted because of the belief that if there is a pregnant woman without married (doing free sex), the local people will be suffered by disaster or infected disease (pageblug) that is difficult to be healed. In this study, we used descriptive study by ethnographic qualitative approach. We found that Petekan ceremony has been conducted since long time ago and preserve until today. The community conducts the tradition once in three months. Almost every year, by conducting the tradition, they found a pregnant woman without marriage. The implementation of the Petekan involves all village members which shows how important if this activity for the people. Sanction for violation in the tradition is applied both for male and female.
The new spider genus Palindroma, featuring a novel synapomorphy for the Zodariidae (Araneae)
Authors: Jocqué Rudy , Henrard Arnaud
Published: November 2015

The new genus Palindroma gen. nov. is described in the Cryptothelinae, Zodariidae. Apart from the type species, P. morogorom gen. et sp. nov. (♂♀), the genus contains P. aleykyela gen. et sp. nov. (♂), P. avonova gen. et sp. nov. (♂♀), P. sinis gen. et sp. nov. (♂) and the somewhat aberrant species P. obmoimiombo gen. et sp. nov. (♂). The four typical representatives of the genus are characterized by the profile of the carapace with a slight dip, the absence of precoxal sclerites and the characters of the male palp with enlarged tibia, large subtegulum and tegular retrolateral knob. The genus occurs in miombo-woodland and coastal forest in East and Central Africa and this peculiar distribution is discussed. A key to the males of the Palindroma species is provided. Specimens of Palindroma have a particularly well-developed tibial process fitting in a shallow metatarsal pouch on all legs in both sexes. Although less conspicuous in some derived taxa, the feature appears to be present in all representatives of the Zodariidae, but not in possible sister-group taxa and is thus an autapomorphy of the family.
Un modelo de regresión logística asimétrico que puede explicar la probabilidad de éxito en el rendimiento académico
Authors: Dávila Cárdenes Nancy , García-Artiles María Dolores , Pérez-Sánchez José María , Gómez-Déniz Emilio
Published: November 2015

En este estudio se pretende explicar la probabilidad de éxito en la asignatura Matemáticas Empresariales correspondiente al Grado en Administración y Dirección de Empresas en la Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Para ello se intentará detectar qué factores influyen en dicha probabilidad utilizando, primero un modelo de regresión logística clásico y, en segundo lugar, un modelo de regresión logística asimétrico Bayesiano. Los resultados obtenidos permiten concluir que las variables significativas que podrían determinar el rendimiento académico en términos de la probabilidad relativa de aprobar la asignatura son: la asistencia con regularidad a clases de teoría y prácticas, que el estudiante valore positivamente el material del que dispone para el seguimiento de la asignatura, el tipo de centro en que se cursaron los estudios preuniversitarios y la asistencia a clases de apoyo. La discusión abre líneas de trabajo futuras que analicen las relaciones entre algunas de las variables consideradas.
Diseño y validación de un cuestionario para la evaluación de la autoestima en la infancia
Authors: Mérida Rosario , Serrano Antonio , Tabernero Carmen
Published: November 2015

El objetivo del presente estudio ha sido diseñar y analizar la validez de contenido y comprensión de un instrumento para evaluar la autoestima infantil en niños y niñas de tres a siete años de edad. La validación de contenido se ha llevado a cabo a través del acuerdo y consenso de nueve expertos mediante la técnica Delphi y la validez de comprensión determinada por la aplicación del cuestionario a una muestra de 241 escolares de entre tres y siete años de edad. Los datos iniciales recogidos a través de la técnica Delphi aportaron algunas modificaciones realizadas por los jueces expertos. Se depuró el cuestionario en 18 ítems que mostraron ajustes adecuados tanto de validez de comprensión como de contenido. El análisis factorial confirmatorio realizado mostró cuatro dimensiones en la autoestima infantil: corporal, académica, socio-afectiva y familiar.

Authors: Pantoja Vallejo Antonio , Villanueva Roa Cristóbal
Published: November 2015

En el presente artículo se muestran los resultados de una investigación en la que se aplica un programa intercultural en red para comprobar sus efectos, tanto a nivel personal como en el conocimiento de la cultura propia y la del otro, en alumnado del tercer ciclo de Educación Primaria. Parte del artículo hace una revisión de las teorías e investigaciones previas sobre la temática, en las que se constata que en su mayor parte tratan del fenómeno de la inmigración en centros, pero prácticamente ninguna de ellas se relaciona con sistemas telemáticos. La formulación de los objetivos específicos de la investigación dan paso a la presentación de la metodología cualitativa, basada en el portafolios como instrumento de recogida de datos en alumnado y profesorado. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto mejoras sustanciales en las principales categorías del estudio, de manera especial en el conocimiento de la cultura, valores democráticos y actitudes ciudadanas.
Validación del constructo subyacente en una escala de evaluación del impacto de la investigación educativa sobre la práctica docente mediante análisis factorial confirmatorio
Authors: Díaz Costa Elisabet , Fernández-Cano Antonio , Faouzi Tarik , Henríquez Carlos Felipe
Published: November 2015

Este artículo muestra las etapas de validación de una escala de evaluación del impacto de la investigación educativa en la práctica docente, enfatizando los procedimientos de validez del constructo subyacente. Para ello, se tuvieron en consideración el problema a investigar y los criterios de rigor científico propios de la construcción de instrumentos de encuesta, concretamente la escala de evaluación. Operando con datos procedentes de tal escala aplicada a una muestra de 62 docentes universitarios y 117 docentes no universitarios de Granada (España), mediante un análisis secundario de datos, se desarrollan las diferentes etapas de validación de constructo; obteniéndose tres constructos representados por 16 sentencias (ítems) de los 43 inicialmente disponibles.
El estudio muestra la potencialidad del análisis factorial confirmatorio frente a la debilidad del exploratorio en la indagación de la validez de constructo de un instrumento de medida con variables ordinales, cual es la escala de valoración, y, al par, en la reducción de ítems de la misma.

Optimization of CO2 Sequestration in Reservoirs under Geochemistry and Thermal Effects
Authors: Temizel Cenk , Tiwari Aditya , Tuna Tayfun , Erdogan Sinem Setenay , Unan Mahmut
Published: November 2015

Disposal and long-term sequestration of anthropogenic " greenhouse gases" such as CO2 is a proposed approach to reducing global warming. Deep, regional-scale aquifers in sedimentary basins are possible sites for sequestration, given their ubiquitous nature. In order for CO2 to be stored in aquifers responsibly, it is essential to identify key concepts that need to be considered for potential implementation. Ideally, injected CO2 will migrate through an aquifer from injection wells to remote storage sites, and remain isolated from the atmosphere for a considerable period of time. Fundamental topics of interest in sequestration research have concerned not just scientific and technical aspects, but practical concerns such as the economic feasibility of storage, safety, and the maximum possible amount of CO2 storage globally and for specified regions. Thus, it is crucial to have a robust understanding of this important process not only in theory but in practice too through illustration with solid examples as in this study.

A robust commercial optimization and uncertainty software is coupled with a full-physics commercial simulator that models the phenomenon in order to investigate the significance of the major parameters on performance of wells in CO2 sequestration under geochemistry and thermal effects. CO2 injection is done for first 25 years. The injector is shut-in thereafter and the fate of CO2 is modeled for the next 225 years. Chemical equilibrium constants are functions of temperature. Trace gas is used. Molecular diffusion of CO2 in water is modeled. Thermal effects due to injection of CO2 at are modeled.

Sensitivity and optimization have been done on major reservoir parameters such as fluid and rock properties and well operational parameters and then significance of each has been illustrated in tornado diagrams. It is observed that a robust approach on handling of uncertainties in reservoir are as important as management of well operational parameters in the scope of reservoir management. Presence of impact of geochemistry and temperature effects have proven to play an important role in the process.
Le Louvre Abou Dabi : un nouveau paradigme de gouvernance en émergence ?
Authors: Gautier-Jacquet Viviane
Published: November 2015

L’entente historique de coopération culturelle sur 30 ans entre Le Louvre et le gouvernement des Émirats arabes unis signée en 2007 offre à la France l’occasion d’étendre son ascendance culturelle. Si l’Accord a suscité la controverse auprès de certains spécialistes français, il reste que, pour le gouvernement français, la réalisation du Louvre Abou Dabi représente l’occasion de conserver l’équilibre budgétaire de son portefeuille culturel tout en haussant sa rentabilité et en s’assurant une prédominance géoculturelle. En analysant certains des aspects majeurs de cette entente, Viviane Gautier-Jacquet tente de cerner la signification idéologique de cet accord.
Mona Lisa, métamorphoses d’une présentation
Authors: Bellat Fabien
Published: November 2015

En remontant l’histoire des péripéties muséologiques du célèbre tableau de Léonard de Vinci, Mona Lisa, le récit de Fabien Bellat révèle à quel point la métamorphose des modes de présentation a modifié la perception et le statut de l’oeuvre. En établissant combien cette pratique n’a rien d’innocent, il démontre comment la relation du public avec l’oeuvre se trouve associée puis à sa spectacularisation et à sa projection dans une dimension mythique, et de quelle façon ce phénomène pose un défi supplémentaire pour le musée.
L’incidence des outils pédagogiques sur la visite des adolescents au musée
Authors: Champagne Marie-Ève
Published: November 2015

L’émergence du visiteur « participant » requiert du musée l’évaluation périodique de ses approches éducatives, de façon plus particulière lorsqu’il s’agit d’adolescents. Cette clientèle bien souvent laissée pour compte a été étudiée par Marie-Ève Champagne. Cet article évalue la performance du modèle du « musée constructiviste » de Ceorge E. Hein en tant que stratégie éducative. L’enquête que l’auteure a menée auprès de 325 jeunes lui permet d’établir que ce modèle peut devenir une approche efficace auprès d’une clientèle en constante transformation.

Des espaces monographiques au sein des collections muséales : déléguer ou produire une pensée et une pratique critiques de la collection ?
Authors: Bénichou Anne
Published: November 2015

L’objectif principal de cet article est d’évaluer si l’acquisition d’espaces monographiques dédiés à des artistes permet de pallier certaines limites des modes de collection traditionnels des musées d’art moderne et contemporain. L’auteure distingue deux cas de figure. Dans le premier, le musée délègue entièrement à l’artiste la conception et le fonctionnement de son espace monographique. Celui-ci est dès lors traité comme une oeuvre autonome à inscrire dans la collection, sans forcément en redéfinir les modalités. Dans le deuxième, l’institution travaille en étroite collaboration avec l’artiste, l’espace monographique devenant un lieu d’expérimentation artistique et muséologique qui génère une pensée et des pratiques critiques de collection.
L’exposition comme média de changement social
Authors: Girard Mélanie
Published: November 2015

Depuis vingt ans, la communauté muséale, portée par l’évolution de la muséologie sociale durant les années 1980, s’est rapprochée de la société et s’est transformée en agent actif de changements. La conception d’expositions à caractère social est devenue pour le musée un médium de communication apte à promouvoir ses valeurs. En s’appuyant sur l’exposition Il était un toit présentée à l’Odyssée des Bâtisseurs, Mélanie Girard démontre comment les approches développées dans le domaine du marketing social peuvent enrichir le processus de conception de ce type d’exposition.
Cultural Commotion at the Toronto Carrying Place Trail
Authors: Boyer Diane
Published: November 2015

Constatant que l’interprétation officielle d’un site historique naturel, soit le Toronto Carrying Place Trail, ne tient pas compte de son évolution après les XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, Diane Boyer propose une réflexion sur les possibilités d’y rattacher une part d’histoire plus récente, marquée notamment par l’industrialisation et l’immigration. Pour ce faire, l’auteure réfléchit aux possibilités qu’offre la nouvelle muséologie, en particulier l’approche communautaire et inclusive de Georges-Henri Rivière, dans l’actualisation et l’appropriation d’un lieu en mutation.
Ruin and Reconstruction: Understanding the Constructed Past
Authors: Woltz Catherine
Published: November 2015

Le patrimoine bâti témoigne du temps qui passe. Une fois abandonné, il tombe en décrépitude rapidement. À partir de ce moment, afin de permettre à l’histoire de survivre, deux options s’opposent et s’exposent : mettre en scène ses ruines ou reconstruire à l’identique. En comparant ces deux figures de cas à partir d’exemples britanniques, Catherine Woltz note les divergences de perceptions sensibles propres à chacune et étudie les différentes stratégies d’interprétation qui en découlent.
L’art urbain, un nouvel objet muséologique ?
Authors: Vergnaud Stéphanie
Published: November 2015

Depuis plusieurs années déjà, des oeuvres d’art ont commencé à envahir les murs des villes. Si certaines galeries commencent à s’intéresser à cet art dit « urbain », très peu de musées lui ont ouvert leurs portes. Les artistes urbains, quant à eux, cautionnent pour une large part l’idéologie dominante de l’intégration institutionnelle et tentent d’accéder au marché de l’art. Dans cet article, Stéphanie Vergnaud propose de vérifier s’il existe ou non une dialectique entre l’espace institutionnel et l’art urbain.

L’immersion sensible : une autre façon de transmettre les contenus ?
Authors: Mariani Alessandra
Published: November 2015

Pour stimuler et favoriser la compréhension, les musées de science ont, depuis une quinzaine d’années, utilisé de façon concluante l’immersion dans l’élaboration de leurs concepts d’exposition. Si ce procédé aide le visiteur dans son interprétation, il complique le travail des concepteurs qui se doivent d’être de plus en plus innovants. En s’appuyant sur l’exposition Sensations urbaines présentée au Centre Canadien d’Architecture en 2006, l’auteur explique comment l’utilisation de stimuli sensoriels permet d’accéder à d’autres contenus.
La conservation des oeuvres à composante technologique
Authors: Veilleux Cindy
Published: November 2015

Pluridisciplinarité, avancées technologiques et utilisation de nouveaux médias par les artistes en art contemporain secouent les fondements même de la conservation curative et préventive. Ces changements demandent aux musées l’adoption de nouvelles politiques culturelles mieux adaptées à la réalité d’aujourd’hui. L’auteur s’interroge ainsi sur le potentiel d’une méthodologie combinant un questionnaire de conservation et un entretien avec l’artiste, vu comme un acteur déterminant au coeur du processus.

El lèxic popular valencià en la literatura de les primeres dècades del segle XX: l’aportació de Faust Hernández Casajuana
Authors: Martí i Mestre Joaquim
Published: November 2015

Resum: Hernández Casajuana va saber recollir en les seues obres literàries un interessant vocabulari popular, que en part enllaça amb la tradició lingüística dels dramaturgs valencians del segle XIX, i en part representa una innovació, des del moment que té en compte els canvis socials i de costums que es produeixen al segle XX, els quals tenen un reflex en el llenguatge. Aquest article se centra en aquesta parcel·la lèxica més innovadora d’Hernández Casajuana, tot i que considera també la producció d’altres autors contemporanis i anteriors. Així, proporciona novetats en relació amb els diccionaris històrics i etimològics, i dóna compte de la motivació i l’origen de determinats mots i accepcions, així com de diversos neologismes, en la seua etapa d’introducció en el català. Algunes d’aquestes innovacions lèxiques han desaparegut en la llengua actual, i altres han tingut continuïtat, però a principis del s. XX, quan encara no s’havien consolidat, presentaven a vegades formes diferents a les que han acabat triomfant.Paraules clau: història del lèxic, llengua literària dels segles XIX i XX, lèxic popular, neologismes, Hernández Casajuana.

Resum: Aquesta contribució als estudis neològics del català usat als mèdia orals, especialment a la televisió, ens permet confirmar que la neologia de manlleu, que ens facilita la denominació de nous objectes i conceptes amb vocabulari forà, prové majoritàriament de l’anglès, esdevingut l’idioma innovatiu per excel·lència en una gran varietat de camps, sobretot en els esports i la tecnologia. A més, la terminologia especialitzada, formada d’arrels clàssiques i afixació culta afavoreix la renovació i l’augment de les habilitats expressives de les llengües en qualsevol àrea científica com a resultat de la ràpida evolució de la nostra societat. S’hi tracta un bon nombre de processos de formació de paraules, com ara la de derivats i compostos cultes, l’habilitació de noms propis, l’acronímia i la siglació, així com l’adaptació al català segons les seves regles ortogràfiques i ortoèpiques.Paraules clau: llengua dels mèdia orals, llenguatge de la ràdio i la TV, manlleus de l’anglès, composició culta, afixació en terminologia especialitzada, siglació, acronímia.

The Test: Ritual as a Framing Device in the Construction of Cultural Nationalism
Authors: Lune Howard
Published: November 2015

Organised movements that challenge a government must construct and frame their own visions of the nation that legitimate their challenge. To do so, they may attempt to mobilise a cultural nationalism to supersede dominant political nationalisms. An alternative cultural nationalism can appeal to patriotism while undermining the legitimacy of a standing government. Such work is subtle, particularly when direct challenges to authority are proscribed by law. Organisational rituals of belonging are powerful tools in this process. Ritual repetition of key framing ideas can unite members around the cultural construct of the movement without directly addressing their targets. This paper examines the organisation of the Society of United Irishmen (1791–98) and their use of a membership ‘test’ ritual. The test epitomised the primary work of the society which entailed the construction of a new vision of Irish nationalism. As the Society transitioned from its rhetorical function to organising an actual rising against British rule, the Society's test and related rituals changed to reflect this shift. While the rising itself failed, the cultural construct endured.
‘Old Mobilities’? Transatlantic Women from the West of Ireland 1880s–1920s
Authors: Walter Bronwen

The ‘new mobilities paradigm’ set out by Sheller and Urry (2006) and others urges social scientists to centre many interlocking mobilities in their analyses of contemporary social change, challenging taken-for-granted sedentarism. Drawing on the example of Irish women's chain migration from small farms in the West of Ireland to the East coast of the USA in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this paper explores a longer history of high levels of mobility. Whilst migration lay at the heart of the movement, it encompassed a much wider range of movements of people, information and material goods. The ‘moorings’ of women in the their workplace-homes on rural farms and in urban domestic service constituted a gendered immobility, but migration also opened up new opportunities for intra-urban moves, circulatory Transatlantic journeys and upward social mobility. The materiality of such ‘old’ mobility provides an early baseline against which to assess the huge scale of rapidly-changing hyper-mobility and instantaneous communication in the twenty-first century.
Just One of the ‘PIIGS’ or a European Outlier? Studying Irish Emigration from a Comparative Perspective
Authors: Glynn Irial
Published: November 2015

The return of high levels of emigration has become one of the most debated and sensitive social topics in Ireland in recent years. But Irish emigration continues to be discussed in the singular rather than the plural. This paper compares Irish emigration to other Eurozone states that also encountered serious economic difficulties following the onset of the global financial crisis to highlight international trends and specify national differences. All of the ‘PIIGS’ experienced increased emigration after the crisis. Yet Irish citizens left in much greater numbers per capita than their Eurozone counterparts, with only Portugal bearing any similarities. This was because Irish emigrants possessed valuable transnational human, cultural and social capital that enabled them to access liberal labour markets outside the Eurozone. They possessed skills desired by attractive destination states; they spoke the same language and shared similar cultural traits as their hosts; and they were able to call upon recently renewed Irish networks to further facilitate their move abroad.
‘It's Different Now’: A Narrative Analysis of Recent Irish Migrants Making Sense of Migration and Comparing Themselves with Previous Waves of Migrants
Authors: Ryan Louise
Published: November 2015

The key aim of this paper is to consider how young professionals, who left Ireland since the economic recession, define their migration project – not just individually but also as a shared experience across their generation. Using narrative analysis and the concept of ‘speech acts’, I explore how these young people working in England talk about and make sense of recent Irish migration. In particular, the paper explores the extent to which the participants construct a sense of ‘cohorts’ to articulate their shared experiences and expectations as a ‘group’, ‘wave’ or ‘generation’ of recent migrants and, in so doing, contrast themselves with previous waves of migrants from Ireland. I highlight their emphasis on ‘choice’, ‘opportunities’ and ‘mobility’ in contrast to their image of the older Irish migrants as ‘forced’, disadvantaged and ‘stuck’. I suggest that this is not just an over-simplification of the past, but more importantly represents a device for making sense of the present. The paper also adopts a reflexive approach and situates myself as a researcher and an Irish migrant in the research process. In this way, I consider how my questions and comments may have influenced how narratives were constructed and shared as well as how I may have approached the analysis of the data through a specific socio-temporal mind set.
‘Emigrants in the Traditional Sense’? — Irishness in England, Contemporary Migration and Collective Memory of the 1950s
Authors: Scully Marc
Published: November 2015

Invocations of the experiences of previous generations of Irish emigrants have been frequent in discussions of the current wave of Irish emigration. This paper considers the mediating effects of viewing contemporary migration through the prism of past migrations. In particular, it is argued that the ‘postmemory’ of 1950s emigration from Ireland, and the experiences of Irish migrants in English cities, forms a transnational dominant narrative, against which the experiences of contemporary migrants are rhetorically arranged. Drawing on interview and focus group extracts from a study of Irish ‘authenticity’ in England, the paper demonstrates how subsequent generations of migrants, and those of Irish descent construct a collective memory of the 1950s experience. It also discusses how this narrative appears in Irish governmental discourses as a conveniently usable past, that seeks to emphasise the agency of contemporary migrants, and in so doing alleviate state responsibility for emigration.

Synaptic target specificity, whereby neurons make distinct types of synapses with different target cells, is critical for brain function, yet the mechanisms driving it are poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrate Kirrel3 regulates target-specific synapse formation at hippocampal mossy fiber (MF) synapses, which connect dentate granule (DG) neurons to both CA3 and GABAergic neurons. Here, we show Kirrel3 is required for formation of MF filopodia; the structures that give rise to DG-GABA synapses and that regulate feed-forward inhibition of CA3 neurons. Consequently, loss of Kirrel3 robustly increases CA3 neuron activity in developing mice. Alterations in the Kirrel3 gene are repeatedly associated with intellectual disabilities, but the role of Kirrel3 at synapses remained largely unknown. Our findings demonstrate that subtle synaptic changes during development impact circuit function and provide the first insight toward understanding the cellular basis of Kirrel3-dependent neurodevelopmental disorders.

More than 90% of lung cancers are caused by cigarette smoke and air pollution, with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as key carcinogens. In Xuanwei City of Yunnan Province, the lung cancer incidence is among the highest in China, attributed to smoky coal combustion-generated PAH pollution. Here, we screened for abnormal inflammatory factors in non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) from Xuanwei and control regions (CR) where smoky coal was not used, and found that a chemokine CXCL13 was overexpressed in 63/70 (90%) of Xuanwei NSCLCs and 44/71 (62%) of smoker and 27/60 (45%) of non-smoker CR patients. CXCL13 overexpression was associated with the region Xuanwei and cigarette smoke. The key carcinogen benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) induced CXCL13 production in lung epithelial cells and in mice prior to development of detectable lung cancer. Deficiency in Cxcl13 or its receptor, Cxcr5, significantly attenuated BaP-induced lung cancer in mice, demonstrating CXCL13’s critical role in PAH-induced lung carcinogenesis.

O objetivo da pesquisa foi avaliar os efeitos de surfatante siliconado e de chuva simulada sob a eficiência do glyphosate no controle de Brachiaria decumbens. Os experimentos foram desenvolvidos na “Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz” em condições de casa de vegetação, no delineamento de blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições. Em um experimento realizou-se chuva simulada de 10 mm, 30 minutos após a aplicação dos tratamentos, e no outro não ocorreu a simulação. Os tratamentos foram arranjados no esquema fatorial 5x3, com o primeiro fator correspondente as doses de glyphosate (0, 135, 270, 540 e 1080 g ha-1 e.a.), e o segundo as doses de surfatante siliconado (0, 50 e 100 mL ha-1). As aplicações foram realizadas aos 30 dias após a semeadura.  Na presença de chuva simulada ocorreu o aumento do percentual de controle e redução no teor de clorofila na dose de 135 g ha-1 e.a. de glyphosate juntamente com 100 mL ha-1 de surfatante siliconado. Também foi observado aumento na peroxidação lipídica com adição de 100 mL ha-1. No experimento sem chuva simulada, aos sete dias após a aplicação dos tratamentos foi observado maior percentual de controle nas doses de 540 e 1080 g ha-1 e.a. com 100 mL ha-1 de surfatante siliconado. Portanto, o uso de surfatante siliconado na dose de 100 mL ha-1 aumenta a eficiência de glyphosate no controle de Brachiaria decumbens sem a presença de chuva simulada e em condições de chuva ocorrida até meia hora depois da aplicação.

This article is a review of the science goals and activities initiated within the framework of the Pollution and its Impacts on the South American Cryosphere (PISAC) initiative. Air pollution associated with biomass burning and urban emissions affects extensive areas of South America. We focus on black carbon (BC) aerosol and its impacts on air quality, water availability, and climate, with an emphasis on the Andean cryosphere. BC is one of the key short‐lived climate pollutants that is a topic of growing interest for near‐term mitigation of these issues. Limited scientific evidence indicates that the Andean cryosphere has already responded to climate change with receding glaciers and snow cover, which directly affect water resources, agriculture, and energy production in the Andean region of South America. Despite the paucity of systematic observations along the Andes, a few studies have detected BC on snow and glaciers in the Andes. These, in addition to existing and projected emissions and weather patterns, suggest a possible contribution of BC to the observed retreat of the Andean cryosphere. Here we provide an overview of the current understanding of these issues from scientific and policy perspectives, and propose strategic expansions to the relevant measurement infrastructure in the region.

Published: November 2015

This study aims to provide a mechanistic explanation of the empirical patterns of streamflow intra‐annual variability revealed by watershed‐scale hydrological data across the contiguous United States. A mathematical extension of the Budyko formula with explicit account for the soil moisture storage change is used to show that, in catchments with a strong seasonal coupling between precipitation and potential evaporation, climate aridity has a dominant control on intra‐annual streamflow variability. But in other catchments, additional factors related to soil water storage change also have important controls on how precipitation seasonality propagates to streamflow. More importantly, use of leaf area index as a direct and indirect indicator of the above ground biomass and plant root system, respectively, reveals the vital role of vegetation in regulating soil moisture storage and hence streamflow intra‐annual variability under different climate conditions.
Reaktivität von Goldkomplexen in metallorganischen Elementarreaktionen

Published: November 2015

Seit langem war die Reaktivität von Goldkomplexen überwiegend durch ihre Eigenschaft als Lewis‐Säure bestimmt. Im Unterschied zu anderen Übergangsmetallen wurden metallorganische Elementarschritte – wie oxidative Addition, reduktive Eliminierung, Transmetallierung oder migratorische Insertion – für Gold kaum untersucht, oder sie waren bis kürzlich gar unbekannt. Doch in den letzten Jahren konnten solche Grundreaktionen für Goldkomplexe eindeutig belegt werden, und es wurde gezeigt, dass ihre Reaktionsfähigkeit weit über die π‐Aktivierung hinausgeht. Hier werden die größten Erfolge auf diesem Gebiet im jeweiligen entwicklungszeitlichen Rahmen betrachtet. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt auf mechanistischen Studien und der Strukturbestimmung entscheidender Zwischenverbindungen. Die elektronischen und strukturellen Parameter werden im Zusammenhang mit der Reaktivität der Goldkomplexe diskutiert, und zukünftige Herausforderungen werden aufgezeigt.
Rational Improvement of Molar Absorptivity Guided by Oscillator Strength: A Case Study with Furoindolizine‐Based Core Skeleton
Authors: Lee Youngjun , Jo Ala , Park Seung Bum
Published: November 2015

The rational improvement of photophysical properties can be highly valuable for the discovery of novel organic fluorophores. Using our new design strategy guided by the oscillator strength, we developed a series of full‐color‐tunable furoindolizine analogs with improved molar absorptivity through the fusion of a furan ring into the indolizine‐based Seoul fluorophore. The excellent correlation between the computable values (oscillator strength and theoretical S0–S1 energy gap) and photophysical properties (molar absorptivity and emission wavelength) confirmed the effectualness of our design strategy.
