Reductions in foliar Hemiptera in portions of a fescue grassland invaded by Smooth Brome (Bromus inermis)
Authors: Rosenkranz Vanessa E. , McGonigle Terence P.
Published: September 2020

Fescue grassland in Canadian prairie is characterized by Plains Rough Fescue (Festuca hallii), but the introduced exotic grass, Smooth Brome (Bromus inermis), is expanding therein. Hemiptera play an important role as herbivores in vegetation. In an invaded fescue grassland in Manitoba, 52 plant species had a combined average cover of 216%. Kentucky Bluegrass (Poa pratensis), another exotic grass, was most abundant at 64%, followed by B. inermis at 21% and the native grass F. hallii at 18%. Across 47 random sample points, B. inermis cover ranged from 0% to 180%. At these points, 2445 specimens of Hemiptera were collected by sweep net and divided into 99 morphologically distinct species. Bromus inermis cover had negative correlations with Hemiptera species richness and diversity, but not with abundance and biomass of Hemiptera. However, B. inermis cover was negatively correlated with abundance of two individual species of Hemipteran leafhoppers in the family Cicadellidae: Doratura stylata and Diplocolenus configuratus. Total graminoid cover had no significant correlation with any of the above Hemiptera variables. We conclude that feeding requirements deter some phytophagous Hemiptera from entering sections of fescue grassland invaded by B. inermis. In this way, invasion by B. inermis can be expected to modify ecosystem function by increasing feeding pressure on neighbouring natural vegetation and other introduced species.

Published: September 2020

Freshwater mussels of the family Unionidae are among the world’s most imperilled animals. A third of Canadian species have been assessed by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada as Extirpated, Endangered, Threatened, or Special Concern, with losses attributed to natural system modifications such as damming, pollution, exploitation for buttons and pearls, urbanization, and the introduction and subsequent effects of aquatic invasive species. In the Great Lakes basin, the introduction of dreissenid mussels in the 1980s caused catastrophic declines, with remnant populations restricted to lotic riverine habitats. In southwestern Ontario, the Canard River is the largest remaining direct tributary of the Detroit River that could provide a source of mussels to aid natural recovery. In 2019, nine sites in the Canard River were sampled using a timed-search approach (4.5 person-hours/site) with a combination of tactile searching by hand and mussel scoops (7-mm mesh) or underwater viewers. The search yielded 362 individuals of eight species, including two Species at Risk, Mapleleaf (Quadrula quadrula) and Lilliput (Toxolasma parvum), which had never been previously recorded in the Canard River.
COMPULSION, SECRECY, AND PAPER
Authors: Thaysen Jens Damgaard , Uhrenfeldt Rasmus , Sønderholm Jørn
Published: September 2020

In this article, we argue that anyone who accepts that (1) voting should be compulsory, (2) voting should be secret, and (3) voting should be done by paper ballot ends up with a morally problematic position. In electoral systems where compulsory voting is implemented and the secret paper ballot is in place, it is impossible for officials to check if an elector has cast a valid vote. Therefore, only those who fail to show up at the polls are penalized under the law of compulsory voting. Those electors who show up at the polls but do not vote are not penalized. We argue that this practice amounts to officially sanctioned unequal enforcement of a law, and that such a practice is morally problematic. We then argue that this problem should be solved by rejecting compulsory voting in favor of true mandatory attendance, that is, a regime where the law on the books requires only showing up at the polls on election day as opposed to formally requiring that electors actually cast a valid vote. This is so since only mandatory attendance can be enforced without infringing on the secret ballot, and the law on the books ought to reflect what is actually enforced in practice.
Influence of hatch spacing and laser spot overlapping on heat transfer during laser powder bed fusion of aluminum alloy
Authors: Nazami Ghulam Rasul , Sahoo Seshadev
Published: September 2020

Direct metal laser sintering is a kind of laser powder bed fusion process that emerged as an advanced manufacturing process in the recent era of industry 4.0. This is a rapid manufacturing process where repeated melting and solidification takes place during scanning of the powder bed. The characteristics of the as-built component depend on the melting and solidification behavior which is directly influenced by the processing conditions. Intending to make a superior part in this process, it is indispensable to comprehend the impact of process parameters on temperature distribution, melting and solidification behavior, etc. In the present study, the authors developed an improved three-dimensional transient heat transfer model and studied the influence of hatching space and laser spot overlapping on temperature distribution with molten pool behavior on the AlSi10Mg powder bed. From this investigation, it was observed that the temperature on the AlSi10Mg powder bed decreases with an increase in hatch spaces and conversely with increasing the laser spot overlapping the temperature increases. Also, the molten pool dimension changes with variation of hatch spacing and laser spot overlapping. By combining these studies, the manufactures can able to optimize the hatch space and laser spot overlap along with other processing parameters to fabricate quality components.
Impact of laser beam oscillation strategies on surface treatment of microalloyed steel
Authors: Dewi Handika Sandra , Volpp Joerg
Published: September 2020

The depth homogeneity of laser-treated zones is one possible factor to define the quality and efficacy of altered mechanical properties in materials. For instance, half-rounded cross-sectional shapes of laser hardened zones using Gaussian beams provide dissimilar hardened depth in the edges and center of the treated area. This means that the in-depth distribution of compressive residual stress varies between the edges and the center of the hardened area. Nonhomogeneity of compressive residual stress distributions can inhibit fatigue properties and can lead to product failure. The utilization of oscillated laser beams has been proven to improve the welding efficiency and energy input distribution to the material, which promises achieving a homogeneous depth of laser-treated zones in hardening applications. Therefore, this work examines the influence of triangular, square, and circular beam oscillation strategies on the energy input distribution during the process and the geometry of the laser-treated zones on microalloyed steel. Laser beam pathways were assembled using a vector graphic editor to visualize the energy distribution from each oscillation strategy. Cross section images of the hardened tracks were taken and related to the thermal energy input profiles. It was revealed that each oscillation strategy demonstrates characteristic temporal and spatial thermal energy input distribution, influencing the geometry of the hardened zone. The circular oscillation strategy produced a widely constant depth in contrary to the triangular and square beam oscillation due to its characteristic energy distribution that allows homogeneous heat dissemination in the material. This confirms that the laser beam oscillation strategy can tailor the energy input distribution to optimize the processing outcome.

Published: September 2020

One of the currently assumed causes of impaired social interaction exhibited by children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is dysfunction of the mirror neuron system (MNS), which is responsible for imitation, understanding the intentions and emotions of other people. Desynchronization of sensorimotor rhythms is considered to be the indicator of MNS activation. This study aimed to analyze the specific patterns of reactivity of the μ-rhythm in an individually determined frequency range and β-rhythm on the EEG in children with ASD during independent movements, observation, imitation and auditory perception of similar movements performed by another person. The data collected were compared to those describing normally developing children. The study involved right-handed children with ASD aged 5–10 (n = 10) and normally developing children (n = 10). In the independent movements exercise, β-rhythm desynchronization was more pronounced in children with ASD, with difference becoming significant in the P4 locus (p = 0.03). In the movements imitation exercise, the groups showed significant differences in the EEG μ-rhythm in the locus C3 (p = 0.03). Auditory perception of movements revealed significant differences in the ranges of both μ-rhythm (loci F3 and Fz (p = 0.02), F4 (p = 0.04), Cz (p = 0.009)) and β-rhythm (loci Fz (p = 0.01), F4 (p = 0.02)). In these situations, children with ASD exhibited synchronization of sensorimotor rhythms, while normally developing children showed desynchronization. The assumption is that the specific patterns revealed are the consequences of disruption of functions of MNS and anti-mirror system. The data obtained can be used in development of EEG biofeedback training protocols for children with ASD.

Published: September 2020

Nowadays sweet violet (Viola odorata) is an ornamental-medical plant that considered as endangered and threatened species. On the other hand, biotic and abiotic stresses impose a major threat to agriculture. Here, we investigated the effects of salinity and drought stresses, based on polyethylene glycol (PEG; 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 and 4%) and NaCl (0, 50, 100 and 150 mM), on growth characteristics, physiological parameters and antioxidant defense system of sweet violet under in-vitro conditions. The influences of NaCl and PEG gradients in the culture media on plant height, green leaf percentage, root dry weight (DW), and electrolyte leakage (EL) was described by a linear or quadratic model. All measured parameters (except EL) decreased when NaCl or PEG concentration increased. In contrast, EL increased other traits. Moreover, with increasing in salinity and drought severity, shoot DW decreased, while antioxidant enzymes activity such as catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POX) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and proline content increased. However, total soluble carbohydrates (TSC), at all drought levels, increased with increasing NaCl concentration up to 50 or 100 mM, and then decreased. Most variations in the shoot DW, CAT activity, proline and TSC contents due to salt stress occurred at low concentration of PEG. Overall, our findings highlight that the effect of combined drought and salt stress was more severe. However, the sensitivity of the plant to drought or salinity stress was higher in the absence of other stress.

Small Molecules Targeting the Hedgehog Pathway: From Phenotype to Mechanistic Understanding
Authors: Hoogendoorn Sascha
Published: September 2020

Since the beginning of 2019, the Hoogendoorn lab is active at the University of Geneva. We are a Chemical Biology lab and our research focuses on the Hedgehog (Hh) signalling pathway and the primary cilium, a small cellular organelle which corrects structure and function, is required
to conduct the Hh signal. Ciliary Hh signalling plays an important role in embryonic development, and its dysregulation consequently results in developmental disorders as well as a variety of cancers. We use an interdisciplinary approach, ranging from organic chemistry to cell biology and
genetics, to develop chemical tools to study and perturb ciliary signalling. In this account, I will highlight existing small molecules that target the Hh pathway, our efforts to discover new compounds, and the methodologies that we employ for target deconvolution and mechanism of action studies.
DNA Damaging Agents in Chemical Biology and Cancer
Authors: Sauter Basilius , Gillingham Dennis
Published: September 2020

Despite their toxicity, DNA alkylating drugs remain a cornerstone of anticancer therapy. The classical thinking was that rapidly dividing tumour cells left more of its DNA in an exposed single-stranded state, making these rapidly dividing cells more susceptible to alkylating drugs.
As our understanding of DNA repair pathways has matured it is becoming clear that compromised DNA repair – a hallmark of cancer – plays a role as well in defining the therapeutic window of these toxic drugs. Hence, although new alkylating motifs are unlikely to progress through
the clinic, the legacy of these medicines is that we now understand the therapeutic potential of targeting DNA damage repair pathways. Here we look at the history of alkylating agents as anticancer drugs, while also summarizing the different mechanistic approaches to covalent DNA modification.
We also provide several case studies on how insights into compromised DNA repair pathways are paving the way for potent and less toxic targeted medicines against the DNA damage response.

The organic components in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) enjoy a unique situation: they are embedded in a crystalline lattice, yet, as they are separated from each other by tunable free space, a large variety of dynamic behavior can emerge. These rotational dynamics of the organic linkers are especially important due to their influence over properties such as gas adsorption and kinetics of guest release. In order to fully exploit linker rotation, it is necessary to engineer correlated linker dynamics to achieve their cooperative functional motion. Here, we show that for MIL-53, a topology with closely spaced rotors, the phenylene functionalization allows to tune the rotors’ steric environment, shifting linker rotation from completely static to rapid motions at frequencies above 100 MHz. For steric interactions that start to inhibit independent rotor motion, we identify for the first time the emergence of correlated rotation modes in linker dynamics. These findings pave the way for function-specific engineering of gearlike cooperative motion in MOFs.

The outbreak of a pandemic, occurring after a hundred years, has taken the world by storm. The knowledge attained from the past epidemics has helped establish various supportive, symptomatic and preventive measures. Some possible therapeutic actions of substances against the concomitant SARS 2 COVID have been tested. However, evidence from randomised controlled trials in humans is not available to support the recommendation of any of the investigational therapies, including vaccines for patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 at this time. With the rapid structural changes and the constantly mutating and unpredictable nature of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the development of a definitive treatment regimen is even more challenging. Hence, management is only aimed at supportive therapy/ symptomatic treatment. In the meantime, community mitigating procedures to keep the sudden surge of cases at bay are in place, and the best healthcare workers are working tirelessly in finding a cure. A significant hurdle faced is the foreboding uncertainty about the virus-host relationship as well as the development and progression of the epidemic even today. The numerous modalities have been discussed to give an overview of the best approach for the treatment of the SARS-CoV-2 positive patients which include the contemporary antiviral drugs, chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, immunoglobulin therapies, vaccines and homoeopathic remedies.

Published: September 2020

The study of behavior and cognitive functions is rather difficult to interpret, is time-consuming and has a number of peculiarities both in planning the study and in conducting the tests themselves. For this kind of experiments, Various biomodels are used for such experiments, but this paper we will focus on experiments on the animals most often used in laboratory practice - small laboratory rodents (rats and mice). Most often, there is a need to carry out psychopharmacological studies in order to examine the specific activity of drugs belonging to the group of psychotropic drugs, however, medicine from other pharmacological groups can also have neurotropic activity and expressly influence the behavior and cognitive functions of both animals and humans.
The paper highlights the main stages of planning and conducting a study of behavior and cognitive functions, starting with the analysis of power and calculating the sample size, the formation of experimental groups and ending with the features of data interpretation. It also presents the most commonly used psychopharmacological tests, as well as methods for confirming neurological deficits.
Thus, it is possible to highlight a number of points enabling the most accurate determination the spectrum of psychotropic action of the studied drugs:
The number of animals in groups should be sufficient for statistical analysis and usually ranges from 12 to 14 per group.
When forming groups, it is necessary to type the behavior of animals using the Open Field test or its analogue and create groups of animals identical in behavior.
When studying the spectrum of psychotropic action, one should not be limited to one or two narrowly targeted tests, but use a whole range of behavioral tests for the most complete picture of the drug's action.
When assessing the effect of the drug in some cases, one should not average the results in a group, but use an assessment of the individual change in behavior of each animal.

Relevance. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) negatively affects the prognosis of myocardial infarction (MI).
Aim. To evaluate MI clinical features (CF) in men under 60 years old (y.o.) with PH, arising during MI to improve pre-vention and outcomes.
Material and methods. The study included men 19-60 y.o. with MI and various dynamics of mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP), determined by echocardiography (A. Kitabatake) in first 48 hours (1) and completion of third week (2). Patients were divided into four groups: studied (I) included 67 patients (mean age 50.4±7.1 y.o) with PH (MPAP2 25 and more mm Hg) and normal of MPAP1 level. Group II included patients with a normal MPAP in both phases of study (70; 52.1±6.6 y.o); group III – with elevated MPAP at both study points (149; 51.2±5.5 y.o) and IV – with in-creased MPAP1 and normal MPAP2 (61, 50.5±6.8 y.o). A comparative assessment of the MI CF frequency in selected groups were performed.
Results. The study group occupied intermediate place frequency in medical history presence: coronary heart disease (I: 59.5; II: 61.4; III: 63.6 and IV: 48.9%; p = 0.04), chronic heart failure (CHF) (35.7 ; 34.1; 51.1 and 24.5%, respec-tively; p=0.001), repeated (45.2; 42.0; 47.3 and 29.8%) and early recurrent (3.6; 3.4 ; 6.0 and 3.2%; pIII-IV=0.006) MI, Q-MI (44.0; 35.2; 58.7 and 56.4; p=0.001), anginal MI phenotype (75.0; 74.7; 54.3 and 77.7%; p˂0.0001) and acute HF (ACF) (45,2; 36,8; 50,5 и 48,9%; р=0,002). No pulmonary edema was detected in it (p˂0.0001).
Conclusions. Men under 60 y.o. with PH resulting from MI occupy an intermediate place in frequency of complica-tions, ACF and CHF in first 56 days of MI during routine examination compared with other MPAP dynamics patients. This confirms the need for additional verification of PH genesis for the appropriate treatment.

POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS PRESCRITAS PARA EDUCAÇÃO ESPECIAL: É POSSÍVEL PENSAR NA UNIVERSALIZAÇÃO DA ESCOLARIZAÇÃO PARA TODOS?
Authors: Barbosa Marily Oliveira , De Melo Júnior Arlindo Lins
Published: September 2020

Os alunos da Educação Especial vêm frequentando as escolas regulares e tem ascendido academicamente. Isso acontece devido as lutas dos movimentos sociais e dos próprios estudantes que buscam o comprimento dos seus direitos sociais, tais como a educação. O governo brasileiro, por intermédio das políticas públicas tem respondido as demandas por meio dos programas que prescrevem a universalização do acesso à educação. Neste sentido, perguntamos é possível pensar na universalização da escolarização para todos através das políticas públicas da Educação Especial? Objetivamos problematizar as políticas públicas voltadas ao público alvo da Educação especial, dando ênfase a entrada e permanência dos estudantes com deficiência no ambiente de escola regular em consonância com os programas de acessibilidade para a pessoa com deficiência relacionado a inclusão escolar. Esse estudo é qualitativo sob o viés da pesquisa documental. Os resultados demostram a necessidade de um melhor acompanhamento dos programas, buscando assim soluções para os problemas e novas alternativas, para que de fato as políticas saiam do prescrito e se torne realidade no cotidiano escolar

Published: September 2020

Com o objetivo de contribuir com as discussões relativas à contação de histórias para crianças, abordamos neste artigo algumas das questões que revelam esta prática como um recurso metodológico mediador da aprendizagem e do desenvolvimento das crianças em creches e pré-escolas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de cunho qualitativo e método bibliográfico que teve como suporte teórico Zilberman (2003); Rojas (2007); Kramer, 2001; Abramovich, (1997); Ariès (1986) entre outros. Os resultados apontaram que a contação de história pode ser considerada como um instrumento prazeroso com efeitos significativos para o desenvolvimento e aprendizagem das crianças na Educação Infantil e, apontaram também que é relevante que o professor crie ricas e variadas situações de interação e comunicação por meio da ludicidade e da narrativa para que a contação de história se torne ator principal no fazer pedagógico com crianças pequenas.

Keep your distance!
Authors: Heim Robert
Published: September 2020

Der Autor vertritt die Hypothese, dass mit der Corona-Krise die Welt gerade dabei ist, von einer langen Epoche der Zerstreuung Abschied zu nehmen. Ausgangspunkt dafür ist Pascals kurze Bemerkung, alles Unglück der Menschen rühre von ihrer Unfähigkeit, ruhig in einem Zimmer zu sitzen. Im Kontrast zu den global erforderten Werten der Kooperation und Solidarität zur Bekämpfung der Krise beschreibt er die ebenso wichtige Fähigkeit des Menschen, allein sein zu können, ja nötigenfalls Einsamkeit zu ertragen. Der Autor erörtert diese Fähigkeit anhand Schopenhauers Parabel der Stachelschweine, ein ironisches Modell menschlichen Zusammenlebens, das mit dem englischen Keep your distance! das neue Leitwort unserer Gegenwart bereits enthält. Er untermauert diese Fähigkeit mit psychoanalytischen Erkenntnissen von Sigmund Freud, Donald W. Winnicott und Melanie Klein.
La transformación docente de la universidad a 20 años de Bolonia: Balance y claves para un futuro por definir
Authors: Fernández Fernández Idoia , Madinabeitia Ezkurra Alba
Published: September 2020

En este artículo analizaremos la transformación que se observa en la docencia universitaria, tras cumplirse veinte años de la Declaración de Bolonia, una docencia que ha ido ampliando y diversificando su significado y que es el producto de la combinación de dos lógicas subyacentes: la lógica de la calidad y la lógica de la innovación, ambas muy relacionadas pero habitualmente disociadas en la práctica institucional. La construcción del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior ha ido transformando el trabajo docente que pasa de ser una actividad desregulada, autónoma y privada a ser una actividad prescrita, interdependiente y pública, y que además tiene una estrecha relación con la mejora de la calidad entendida como calidad del profesorado, del título y del propio centro universitario, y, por extensión de cada universidad. Se analizarán de manera diacrónica aspectos como la acreditación de titulaciones y centros, la acreditación de la actividad docente, los tipos y temáticas que se abordan en la formación docente, las peculiaridades de la innovación educativa docente y la evolución de las publicaciones sobre docencia. El análisis de los datos nos muestra que, a pesar de la intensidad de determinados momentos, el interés por los procesos de calidad, la formación del profesorado y la innovación docente, se ha estancado o incluso debilitado en la actualidad. El trabajo concluye con algunas claves que puedan ayudar a orientar un futuro particularmente incierto.
La videodanza como arte de edición del cuerpo
Authors: Payri Blas
Published: September 2020

La videodanza, una fusión del lenguaje audiovisual con la coreografía, utiliza el encuadre fotográfico y el montaje para editar el cuerpo y su movimiento. Analizamos el plano entero o general usado para mostrar el cuerpo y la coreografía enteros, y las composiciones coreográficas en gran plano general donde el cuerpo individual se convierte en fragmento de un conjunto coreografiado. El montaje clásico alterna planos generales y de detalle para destacar partes de la acción. Las micro-coreografías hacen bailar a manos o rostros filmados en primer plano. Ciertas videodanzas buscan la abstracción con el desenfoque y los planos de detalle extremos sobre partes del cuerpo que pasan a ser percibidas como texturas y líneas abstractas. La brevedad y el tiempo de lectura del plano, el ángulo de cámara y tamaño de plano influyen en el reconocimiento de la forma humana o la percepción de masas abstractas en movimiento.
La imaginación, nuestra Comuna
Authors: Didi-Huberman Georges
Published: September 2020

Hoy, la tierra –sus bosques, subsuelos, etc.– ya no está en nosotros, sino solo en unos cuantos que la explotan hasta agotarla. Entonces nos acomete el deseo de sublevarnos, por ese común que nos ha sido arrebatado. Pero, ¿qué oculta este singular de “común”? A partir de imágenes concretas y en una línea que establece un puente desde la crítica estrictamente marxista hasta un planteamiento que se declara en la línea de Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze y de una “fenomenología de los cuerpos”, este artículo plantea una reflexión sobre la imaginación como nuestra facultad común. Y por añadidura, como “nuestra Comuna”, una palabra que debe ser pensada con una C mayúscula, algo así como nuestra primera facultad de sublevación, nuestra primera potencia “libre” de reorganizar el mundo de otra forma, de una forma más justa. La densidad del mundo debe entonces imaginarse. Esto nos llevará a hacer un pequeño recorrido por el rojo o más bien por el imaginar rojo como el tono de los deseos humanos, de las potencias que les atraviesan o les rodean, les movilizan o amenazan.
Entre el reparto de lo sensible y la imagen crítica. A propósito de una discusión entre Jacques Rancière y Georges Didi-Huberman
Authors: Cabello Padial Gabriel
Published: September 2020

El ánimo de este artículo es ofrecer las líneas de la discusión que, desde hace unos años, vienen manteniendo Jacques Rancière y Georges Didi-Huberman. A partir de la interpelación que este último hizo en el año 2013 a Rancière, recorremos los textos en que se han ido posicionando para delinear los cruces y distanciamientos entre un acercamiento a las imágenes vinculado, en última instancia, al libre juego schilleriano como instrumento de suspensión del orden y como prefiguración de una comunidad emancipada, y uno que proviene de una perspectiva antropológica enriquecida por el psicoanálisis, la fenomenología y la dialéctica, donde la atención a las cristalizaciones sensibles es el punto de partida.
Kontingenz und Souveränität
Authors: Schäfer Alfred
Published: September 2020

This paper’s point of departure is that modernity reflects its contingency in the medium of childhood. It is here that modernity assigns the (impossible) task to education of respecting the space of possibilities inherent to ›childhood‹ and transforming these possibilities into a better reality. On the one hand, this leads to an irresolvable problem of educational justification – problems that can only be dealt with the help of rhetorical constructions. On the other hand, the sovereignty of childhood, which is indeterminable and not bound to rationality, has to become educationally represented in order to demonstrate its legitimacy – a construct that can never be adequately represented. This problematic relation of sovereignty and representation is connected to questions of democracy theories.
