An important issue in biodiversity conservation is the early detection of introduced and invasive organisms and identification of regions that may either be points of introduction or be particularly prone to invasion. Among insects, ants are easily transported worldwide by humans, and several species, such as Solenopsis geminata or Pheidole megacephala, can be highly invasive. To establish an initial baseline for urban ant monitoring in Côte d’Ivoire (Western Africa), fifteen cities - equally distributed over the three main ecoregions of the country - were surveyed using tuna baits as sampling method. A total of 103 ant species from 22 genera and 5 subfamilies were collected. We identified 10 potentially invasive species, amongst them two new species for the country: Solenopsis geminata and Solenopsis globularia. Another highly invasive species, Paratrechina longicornis, was the most abundant species collected throughout the country. Potentially invasive ant species co-occurred with non-invasive species, and contributed importantly to the structure of ant assemblages of all sampled urban habitats. The present study provides evidence that introduced and invasive ant species are established in cities of Côte d’Ivoire, often in high numbers and are occurring over large areas of invasion.

Comparison of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity levels between physical education, school recess and after-school time in secondary school students:
Authors: Mayorga Vega Daniel , Viciana Jesús
Published: May 2018

Regular physical activity is an important factor of health in youth. Unfortunately, in Chile 85% of adolescents do not achieve the 60 min daily recommendation of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Physical education, school recess and after-school time are considered crucial environments for adolescents to meet the recommended moderate-to-vigorous physical activity levels. This study compared the moderateto-vigorous physical activity levels between physical education, school recess and after-school time in Chilean secondary school students, and examined the influence of gender and weight status. A hundred and fifty-six Chilean secondary school students (finally 89 participants were included), aged 13-14 years, were monitored by objective measures of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity during physical education, school recess and after-school time. Results indicated statistically significant differences in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity between contexts (total minutes: After-school time>physical education>school recess; percentage: Physical education>after-school time=school recess, p<.001) as well as a gender-related influence (boys>girls, p<.05). Policy-makers are encouraged to increase the number of physical education classes and teachers to ensure that more physical education class time is spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, especially among girls. The increase in students’ moderate-to-vigorous physical activity levels during school recess and after-school time should also be promoted.
Monitoring perceived respiratory and muscular exertions and physical fitness in young professional soccer players during a 32-week period
Authors: Los Arcos Asier , Yanci Javier
Published: May 2018

The aim of this study was to examine the association of perceived respiratory and muscular exertions and associated training load (TL) for monitoring changes in several aerobic fitness and neuromuscular performance parameters during 32 weeks of soccer training in young professional players. Twenty male soccer players (age=20.6±1.8 years, body height=1.80±.06 m, body mass=73.6±6.7 kg) belonging to the same reserve team of a Spanish La Liga Club participated in this study. Countermovement jump (CMJ), CMJ with arm swing, linear sprint running (over 5 m and 15 m) and an aerobic fitness running test were performed at the start of the pre-season (Test 1) and 32 weeks later (Test 2). During these eight months, after each training session and match, players rated their perceived exertion (sRPE) separately for respiratory (sRPEres) and leg musculature (sRPEmus) effort. Training load was calculated by multiplying the sRPE value by the duration of each training session or match. Accumulated training and match volume (i.e., time) and associated respiratory and muscular training loads were negatively correlated with the changes in aerobic fitness performance after 32 weeks of training (r=-.53/-.62). In addition, accumulated perceived respiratory load was negatively correlated with the changes in 15 m sprint performance (r=-.51/-.53). A high practice volume (time) and associated respiratory and leg muscular TL can impair the long-term improvement of aerobic fitness and sprint performance in professional soccer players.
Effects of shoes on kinetics and kinematics of the squash forward lunge in male players
Authors: Sinclair Jonathan , Taylor Paul John
Published: May 2018

Squash is associated with a high incidence of chronic injuries. Currently there is a trend in many sports for players to select minimalist footwear. The aim of the current investigation was to examine the effects of squashspecific, running shoes and minimalist footwear on the kinetics and 3-D kinematics of the lunge movement in squash players. Twelve male squash players performed lunge movements whilst wearing minimalist, running shoe and squash-specific footwear. 3-D kinematics of the lower extremities were measured using an eightcamera motion analysis system alongside kinetic and tibial acceleration information which were obtained using a force platform and an accelerometer. Differences between footwear were examined using one-way repeated measures ANOVA. The results show firstly that loading rate parameters were significantly greater in the minimalist (average = 85.36B.W/s and instantaneous = 179.09B.W/s) footwear in relation to the squashspecific (average = 38.66 B.W/s and instantaneous = 50.73B.W/s) and running footwear (average = 37.62B.W/s and instantaneous = 48.14B.W/s). In addition, tibial acceleration parameters were also significantly greater in the minimalist (peak tibial acceleration = 8.45 g and tibial acceleration slope = 422.28g/s) footwear in relation to the squash-specific (peak tibial acceleration = 4.33 g and tibial acceleration slope = 182.57g/s) and running footwear (peak tibial acceleration = 4.81 g and tibial acceleration slope = 226.72g/s). The significant increase in impact loading in the minimalist footwear therefore suggests this type of shoe may place squash players at an increased risk of developing impact-related chronic injuries.

The MINERVA Software Development Process
Authors: Narkawicz Anthony , Munoz Cesar , Dutle Aaron
Published: May 2018

This paper presents a software development process for safety-critical software components of cyber-physical systems. The process is called MINERVA, which stands for Mirrored Implementation Numerically Evaluated against Rigorously Verified Algorithms. The process relies on formal methods for rigorously validating code against its requirements. The software development process uses: (1) a formal specification language for describing the algorithms and their functional requirements, (2) an interactive theorem prover for formally verifying the correctness of the algorithms, (3) test cases that stress the code, and (4) numerical evaluation on these test cases of both the algorithm specifications and their implementations in code. The MINERVA process is illustrated in this paper with an application to geo-containment algorithms for unmanned aircraft systems. These algorithms ensure that the position of an aircraft never leaves a predetermined polygon region and provide recovery maneuvers when the region is inadvertently exited.
On Conflict-Driven Reasoning
Authors: Bonacina Maria Paola
Published: May 2018

Automated formal methods and automated reasoning are interconnected, as formal methods generate reasoning problems and incorporate reasoning techniques. For example, formal methods tools employ reasoning engines to find solutions of sets of constraints, or proofs of conjectures. From a reasoning perspective, the expressivity of the logical lan- guage is often directly proportional to the difficulty of the problem. In propositional logic, Conflict-Driven Clause Learning (CDCL) is one of the key features of state-of-the-art sat- isfiability solvers. The idea is to restrict inferences to those needed to explain conflicts, and use conflicts to prune a backtracking search. A current research direction in auto- mated reasoning is to generalize this notion of conflict-driven satisfiability to a paradigm of conflict-driven reasoning in first-order theories for satisfiability modulo theories and as- signments, and even in full first-order logic for generic automated theorem proving. While this is a promising and exciting lead, it also poses formidable challenges.

Global economics crisis causes the fall of world stock. This is causes weakens it share in BEI, including sector otomotif.  BEI has some stock indexes as movement indicator of stock price, one of them is index Kompas 100.  This Index represents of  about 70-80 percent market capitalization value total of share  in BEI.  However, that can be different with other index, so that be necessary to measure of each corporate performance with using Economic Value Added (EVA) method.    EVA is used to measure of corporate performance based of the value.  value added will be create, if the retained earning more than cost of capital.  From two company analized during the 2007 to 2008 period,  there is only one of corporate have a performance increase at 2008, that is PT Multistrada Arah Sarana Tbk, this is mean the corporate has been investor expectation filled.  Differ from PT Multistrada, PT Gajah Tunggal at 2008 have a performance decrease. At 2007 it have positive value of EVA, but at 2008 value of EVA get down to negative. This is happen cause of dead loss in consequence of global economics crisis. For the companies that give the negative value, it  better find out more strategies so it  can make their profit rise and also to push the capital cost with choosing the lowest capital structure. Beside that, the companies also should erase the activities that can caused the value of the company becoming less.

Se georreferenciaron 391 árboles que se tradujeron en el mismo número de accesiones de la especie para realizar una caracterización ambiental; se consideraron ocho variables climáticas interpoladas, además de nueve ambientales. Con esta información se utilizó el modelo MaxEnt para categorizar de manera probabilística su distribución potencial. El área de estudio se ubicó al oeste de la Sierra de Quila. La validación del modelo se determinó con la técnica Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) aplicada en modelos de distribución basados en algoritmos de solo presencia. Para determinar las variables climáticas y ambientales más importantes que influyen en la distribución de la especie se utilizó la prueba de Jackknife. De acuerdo a la curva operativa área bajo la curva (AUC) del ROC, ambas interpolaciones en las curvas de entrenamiento y de prueba se situaron lo más juntas posible, lo que significó alcanzar un ajuste en el modelo utilizando las variables climáticas de 0.959 y 0.958; por otra parte, con la interpolación de los datos climáticos junto con las variables ambientales se obtuvieron los valores más altos para los datos de entrenamiento (0.973) y de prueba (0.971).

Los estudios cuantitativos acerca de la vegetación en México se han centrado en bosques tropicales y mesófilos de montaña; comparativamente, los existentes sobre bosques templados son relativamente escasos. Muchos se han enfocado a describir la luz como fuerza directriz en la repartición de recursos entre las especies; sin embargo, algunos como los nutrimentos del suelo han recibido menos atención. En el presente trabajo se describe la estructura de las comunidades arbóreas de un bosque templado a lo largo de un gradiente altitudinal en el Volcán de Tequila, Jalisco; el análisis se hizo en función de la diversidad α y β, así como las relaciones con variables de suelo, mediante técnicas de ordenación, que explicaron 97 % de la variación total; las variables más importantes fueron altitud, contenido de arcilla, potasio, pH, conductividad eléctrica, nitritos, arena, nitrógeno, fósforo y calcio. La riqueza de árboles presentó una respuesta unimodal con respecto a la altitud, con un valor máximo de 2 000 a 2 350 m. Finalmente, la mayor tasa de recambio de especies ocurre entre los sitios de mayor altitud con los de menor (1.0). En el Volcán de Tequila se tiene una diferenciación de nicho entre las especies, el cual es ocasionado por la repartición de recursos edáficos a lo largo del gradiente altitudinal, el cual se reconoce como el principal mecanismo que mantiene la diversidad arbórea en la porción templada del área de estudio.

Dancing with decorum. The eclectic usage of kalathiskos dancers and pyrrhic dancers in Roman visual culture
Authors: Habetzeder Julia
Published: May 2018

This article examines two groups of motifs in Roman visual culture: females modelled on kalathiskos dancers, and males modelled on pyrrhic dancers. Eclecticism is emphasized as a strategy which was used to introduce novelties that were appropriate within a Roman cultural context. The figures representing kalathiskos dancers and pyrrhic dancers were both changed in an eclectic manner and this resulted in motifs representing the goddess Victoria, and the curetes respectively. Kalathiskos dancers and eclectic Victoriae occur on many different media at least from the Augustan era and into the 2nd century AD. It is argued here that the establishment of these two motifs in Roman visual culture is closely related to the aesthetics which came to the fore during the reign of Augustus. Thereafter, both kalathiskos dancers and eclectic Victoriae lingered on in the Roman cultural context until many of the material categories on which they were depicted ceased to be produced. Unlike the kalathiskos dancers, the male figures modelled on pyrrhic dancers are so rare within Roman visual culture that we can only assume they were, to some extent, perceived as an inappropriate motif. This can most likely be explained by the negative attitude, amongst the Roman elite, towards male dancing.

Published: May 2018

In 2015 the sixth season of the renewed excavations at the Bronze Age city of Hala Sultan Tekke continued in the compound which was ex­posed in Area 6W in 2013–2014. Further evidence of textile process­ing was found. The results of another ground-penetrating radar (GPR) survey in 2014 indicated a new city quarter west of the former. Exca­vations were initiated there in 2015 and parts of the remains of a large compound were exposed. Two occupational phases, Strata 1 and 2, could be determined, both of which were destroyed in a conflagration. Further excavations were carried out in Area A, 550 m to the east of Area 6W and close to the mosque of Hala Sultan Tekke. In 2014 more than 80 circular anomalies were indicated by our geomagnetic survey supported by GPR. Twelve of them were excavated in 2015. Most of them turned out to be backfilled wells of which the fills mainly date from the 13th and 12th centuries BC (Late Cypriot IIC–IIIA). One of the excavated anomalies is interpreted as an offering pit. The preliminary date according to the pottery is roughly the 15th century BC (Late Cypriot IB).

MUDANÇAS EM DESEJOS E OPORTUNIDADES NO STATUS DE PECUARISTA PANTANEIRO
Authors: Lacerda André Ribeiro
Published: May 2018

O problema de pesquisa aqui enfrentado foi inspirado na teoria da escolha racional e pode ser enunciado nos seguintes termos: por que parte significativa da nova geração de pecuaristas do pantanal de Poconé não vê mais a pecuária como uma atividade econômica atrativa que vale a pena investir enquanto status ocupacional? Duas hipóteses foram formuladas para respondê-lo: (1) Mudanças na dimensão das oportunidades: o conjunto de status que desenha a estrutura organizacional da ocupação não é mais atrativo para pretensos pecuaristas; (2) Mudanças na dimensão de desejos: aqueles que escolhem o status de pecuarista pantaneiro o fazem enquanto atividade econômica complementar, secundária e que minimize conflitos com o papel social de status ocupacional principal. Entrevistas realizadas com 29 pecuaristas entre 2014 e 2015 sustentam as duas hipóteses.

Modeling Value on Investment: A Crucial Strategy Adopted by Successful Chronic Condition Management Programs
Authors: Leslie Monica , Virani Rehan
Published: May 2018

No abstract available.

Editor’s note: In this article, the authors conclude their series on the impact of chronic conditions on our nation. In the April edition of Telehealth and Medicine Today, they explained why chronic conditions will continue to be a focus of cost and utilization issues in our nation’s healthcare system and they introduced telehealth as an effective tool to supplement existing Chronic Condition Management (CCM) efforts for increased value creation.

Here, the authors describe how Chronic Condition Management technology creates value on investment (VOI), dwarfing the idea of “returns” on investment (ROI), by using a proprietary model they’ve created—the Chronic Condition Management Benefits Estimation Tool.
Home Telehealth and The Triple Aim
Authors: Reich Joel J. , Osborne Thomas F.
Published: May 2018

The Triple Aim is a framework developed to increase the value of healthcare through three interrelated components; improving the individual experience of care, improving the health of populations, and reducing the per capita cost of care for populations. Achieving the goals of the Triple Aim for everyone requires a fundamental change in how we deliver healthcare. A thoughtfully implemented home telehealth program has the potential to achieve these important endpoints for a large group of patients. However, its success is dependent upon numerous factors ranging from effective integration of technology and adoption to reimbursement policy.

Blockchain HIE Overview: A Framework for Healthcare Interoperability
Authors: Bennett Brennan
Published: May 2018

Data stored in a blockchain is immutable and available for access by separate parties. The excellent potential residing in this technology includes security, verification, and expanded data management for healthcare records, making it ideal for a new interoperability standard. As it stands today, public blockchain technology (i.e. Bitcoin) is a secure P2P (peer-to-peer) ledger system that uses public key encryption to protect information. Once entries are created on the chain, they are immutable, making blockchain ideal for storing permanent records. Because of this, authorized members of a network are confident of their data's authenticity within the encrypted chains. The shared ledger structure provides an immutable audit trail for every transaction. In healthcare, organizations can create authenticated records and entries without needing a central authority. Each link in the chain verifies the next, traceable back to what’s called the Genesis block, a.k.a. the first block in the chain ever created.

Dinamika Model Predator Hama Wereng Batang Cokelat (Nilaparvata Lugens) Pada Tanaman Padi Dengan Penerapan Pestisida
Authors: Karim Iim Abdul
Published: May 2018

Abstract. In this paper, the mathematical model we discuss the interactions among pests, predators, and effect of pesticides. Interactions between predators and pests use functional responses of Holling type I and type II and the growth of susceptible pests classes satisfied the logistic function. By this model, the existence and stability of the equilibrium point were performed. The existence of the equilibrium point, and were obtained which depend on the threshold parameter, while the equilibrium point did not depend on the parameter. The analysis of equilibrium point stability by this model discussed only on the local stability. To facilitate interpretation of the dynamics between predators, pests and the effects of pesticides, numerical simulations perform indicated by the changes in two parameters bifurcation analysis.

Intoxicación etílica secundaria a ingesta gel antiséptico en escolar femenina.
Authors: Paredes Patricia
Published: May 2018

El consumo de alcohol es una problemática que afecta a la población pediátrica, puede ocasionar varias repercusiones físicas mentales y como gatillante el consumo de otras drogas ilegales, las nuevas medidas sanitarias han ampliado el uso de gel antiséptico de manera descontrolada e insegura. El gel antiséptico contiene alcohol etílico en concentraciones superiores al 70%, de acuerdo a la cantidad de alcohol ingerido se ponen de manifiesto signos y síntomas propios de intoxicación etílica aguda (IEA). Se presenta una paciente femenina de 3 años, que acude a urgencias con mareo, dislalia, descoordinación en la marcha, ataxia e hipotonía, aliento alcohólico, relajación de esfínteres y posterior “resaca”. La analítica sanguínea con valores normales y la determinación de etanol en sangre confirmó el diagnóstico de intoxicación alcohólica. Los datos se recolectaron del historial médico de la base de datos AS400 del Hospital IESS Ambato. La amplia gama de presentaciones de gel antibacterial es un nuevo factor de riesgo para la IEA en pediatría, a partir del 2010 ha aumentado la ingesta de forma accidental, para emborracharse o  por reto; la semiología predominante es neurológica. Es imprescindible determinación de glicemia capilar y niveles de etanol en sangre en todo paciente pediátrico que se sospeche de IEA.
