Could the directly measured data of transpiration be replaced by model outputs?
Authors: Středová Hana , Klimešová Jana , Středa Tomáš , Fukalová Petra
Published: May 2020

Successful upscaling of the direct measurement of evapotranspiration at individual plant level to canopy level with specific microclimatic conditions has recently received considerable attention of scientific community. And since the knowledge of transpiration is among important inputs of various experiments on solitary plant level the paper employs the reverse approach – the downscaling from the canopy to individual plant. The main task of the study is thus to compare Penman–Monteith method of computing potential evapotranspiration with directly measured values of transpiration of maize. Since the model deals with canopy level and the direct measurement is being carried out on level of individual plants, this comparison answers the question if the time-consuming and demanding measurement of transpiration on plant level could be substitute by relative easily reachable model outputs. The results shown that evapotranspiration of maize computed by Penman–Monteith model cannot be successfully downscaled back to the solitary plant level. The correlation coefficient between these two data series for three individual phenological stages vary from 0.5831 to 0.7803 (α = 0.01) while for whole growing period regardless phenological stage is 0.6925 (α = 0.01). The directly measured data of transpiration cannot by simply replaced by modelled data, but their application after conversion using regression equations is possible with certain level of inaccuracy.

Published: May 2020

In recent years, there has been a noticeable uneven distribution of rainfall in Central Europe during the main vegetation season of most field crops. The rising air temperatures also increase the evapotranspiration demands of the environment and increase the frequency and length of heatwaves, which is a stress factor for plants. Using the GIS procedures, we identified the areas of significant abiotic risks occurring during the critical growth stages of spring barley (high air temperatures at the time of tillering and lack of soil moisture from the beginning of flowering to yellow ripening) with potential impact on grain yield in the Czech Republic. Unique datasets, including i) meteorological data, ii) phenological data, iii) pedological data, iv) land-use data, and v) geographic data, have been integrated and analysed using the sophisticated ArcGIS software environment. The method used in this study is universally applicable and allows comparisons at the local, regional, and supra-regional levels. The identification of risk areas will allow for a) finding tolerant varieties from problematic areas, b) locating the use of these varieties in risk areas and c) recommending and implementing adequate farming practices to reduce the impact of risk abiotic stressors on spring barley under current climate conditions. This will allow accurate estimation of weather impacts on spring barley grain yield in a particular year and precise application of countermeasures leading to reduced negative impacts on yield and the quality of spring barley production. Using the data and methods presented, we identified areas that correspond in good accordance to areas with spring barley yield deficits in dry years.
Crustal deformation analysis in Zagros and Makran zones, based on GPS permanent network data
Authors: Sakhaei Seyed Reza , Rostam Ghasem Ghorbani
Published: May 2020

We present an analysis of strain based on the evaluation of crustal deformation in Zagros and Makran, which has implications in terms of the dynamics of the study area. We have used data from 17 permanent GPS stations of the Cartographic Centre of Iran spanning the period 2011–2013. The raw observed data were in RINEX format. The elements of strain tensor were calculated by a 2D isoparametric method and the inversion of strain equation. Then the dilatation (extension and compression) and shearing were obtained through the analysis of eigenvalue and eigenvector of tensors. In most cases compression has overcome the extension, which can be expected due to the convergence of the Arabia and Eurasia plates. The compression axis is nearly vertical along the Zagros causing reverse and thrust faults in Zagros. Due to the N–S trending of the Sabzvaran–Jiroft–Kahnuj fault system and to the direction of compression and extension, the system will be of strike–slip mechanism. Sudden changes of shearing can be used to identify the strike–slip faults. As observed in this study, there were sudden changes in shearing of the Rafsanjan and Jiroft–Kahnuj faults. The P/T axis rotates significantly in the Zagros–Makran transition zone. Moreover, the Makran's P/T axis is smaller than the P/T axis of Zagros, which demonstrates that the impact of the Arabian plate, moving towards Iran, is greater than the impact of the Indian subcontinent plate movement. The values of the counter-clockwise rotation rate at stations located east of the Zagros–Makran transition zone are higher than at other stations. Also the velocity vectors at stations were determined while using the software GAMIT/GLOBK.

Żołnierze "scholae palatinae" – „nowi pretorianie” późnego cesarstwa
Authors: Łuć Ireneusz
Published: May 2020

The scholae palatinae were part of a military guard unit, which was formed as a result of evolution. They developed from a formation of several hundred caval­rymen to a formation of an independent military corps, consisting at first of 3,500, and then as many as 7,000 soldiers. Even though at first scholares seemed different from milites praetoriani (i.a. in terms of ethnic origin, serving as the horsemen), they were, in fact, the successors of the elite guard unit of the Roman emperors. They held the same status and were entrusted with similar tasks during their service. The introduction of the post of tribune in the palace guard (scholae palatinae), as the supreme commander at the level of individual divisions (scholae), was, to a large extent, a continuation of the previous command structure within praetorian cohorts (cohortes praetoriae). What is more important, in the later period (6th century AD), within the scholae palatinae there also appeared infantry units, which made the scholares even more similar to the praetorians, who were serving in mixed cohorts (cohortes equita­tae), consisting of both infantrymen and horse guardsmen. The scholares, similarly to the praetorians, held a privileged position within the Roman army. It was not without significance when it comes to their own ca­reers or those who were related to them. The sign of times, which made these for­mations different, was the fact that among the scholae palatinae appeared many soldiers who were Christians. Finally, both scholares and milites praetoriani also gained profound influence upon the election of new emperors of the Rome. In hindsight, however, it turned out to have a disastrous effect on the scholae palatinae.
Bałkany w ujęciu historiografii kościelnej V wieku związanej ze środowiskiem konstantynopolitańskim
Authors: Bralewski Sławomir
Published: May 2020

In the accounts of Socrates of Constantinople, Hermias Sozomenus and Phi­lostorgius, i.e. those ecclesiastical historians who represented the Constantino­politan point of view in church history, the region of the Balkans was neither ad­ministratively nor culturally or religiously uniform. Contents of their works sug­gest, however, that the area was very important strategically, which was indirectly stressed in Sozomenus’ and Phlilostorgius’ accounts of the conflicts between Con­stantine and Licinius, and then directly referred to when the three historians wrote on the invasion of the Goths and Maximus’ usurpation. All the three sources also imply that the Balkan peninsula became a shelter not only for refugees from the outside of the empire but also a safe haven for political fugitives from the Roman territories, as for instance is the case of Valentinian II and his entourage. It is also clearly visible that the region was treated by the historians as the hinterland of Constantinople, i.e. the second capital of the Roman Empire, founded by order of Constantine. Security of the capital was largely dependent on the stability of the Roman rule in the Balkans and the maintenance of peace in the area. The advent of the Huns, who pushed other barbarians to cross the Danube river, destabilized the region. The destabilization occurred even despite efforts of christianizing the inflowing tribes, which was an element of the strategy of the Romans targeted at subjecting the barbarian peoples to the empire both politically as well as re­ligiously. Socrates’, Sozomenus’ and Philostorgius’ accounts also show that the Balkans became a border zone of the empire (divided into its western and eastern parts) and a melting pot of various religious influences, which is exemplified by the regional history of Arianism. It is also undeniable that not only Socrates of Constantinople and Hermias Sozomenus but also Phlostorgius devoted to the Bal­kans more attention than Eusebius of Caesarea did. The fact can be explained on he basis of their geographical proximity to the region, which naturally drew the interest of the former, Constantinopole-based three. Last but not least, Sozomenus displayed in his narrative a better geographical competence as for the region than Socrates and therefore he tried to emend the account of his predecessor.

Distributive laws for Lawvere theories
Authors: Cheng Eugenia
Published: May 2020

Distributive laws give a way of combining two algebraic structures expressed as monads; in this paper we propose a theory of distributive laws for combining algebraic structures expressed as Lawvere theories. We propose four approaches, involving profunctors, monoidal profunctors, an extension of the free finite-product category 2-monad from Cat to Prof, and factorisation systems respectively. We exhibit comparison functors between CAT and each of these new frameworks to show that the distributive laws between the Lawvere theories correspond in a suitable way to distributive laws between their associated finitary monads. The different but equivalent formulations then provide, between them, a framework conducive to generalisation, but also an explicit description of the composite theories arising from distributive laws.

(IN) вклад правосудия в общем режиме социального обеспечения: RGPS с точки зрения актуарной науки с точки зрения доходов и актуарного фактора социального обеспечения
Authors: Rocha Matheus Carneiro , Araújo Jamille Carla Oliveira , Santos Neuma Teixeira Dos
Published: May 2020

Вопросы, связанные с общественным социальным обеспечением, вызвали широкие споры между обществом и правительством. Средний гражданин заботится о справедливой мере между тем, что он платит в настоящее время и сколько он будет получать от выхода на пенсию в будущем. В связи с этим данная статья направлена на определение в соответствии с основами актуарной науки, справедливой мерой между величиной взносов (платежей) и стоимостью пособий (выхода на пенсию), управляемых Общим режимом социального обеспечения – RGPS как инструмент социального (в) правосудия. Методология, используемая для получения всех параметров, относящихся к РГПС, а также к актуарному режиму социального обеспечения, заключалась в создании ситуаций с участием мужчин и женщин при особых условиях вхождения в систему социального обеспечения первоначального возраста, пенсионного возраста и заработной платы взносов, а из этих входных данных значения взносов и пособий рассчитывались в рамках программы Matlab , где расчеты были оперативны в качестве расчета рутины. Результаты были сегментированы по полу (мужчина или женщина) и диапазон доходов, было отмечено, что уровень взносов на социальное обеспечение, наиболее важный параметр для определения значения взносов в RGPS, от 28% до 31% является очень высоким по сравнению с показателем, рассчитанным актуарной науки от 16% до 17% для мужчин и 13% до 14% для женщин. Делается вывод о том, что для обычного гражданина, подпадающего под действующие правила РГПС, суммы уплаченных взносов, отражающих полученные пенсионные пособия, отличаются от справедливой меры, рассчитанной актуарной наукой, поэтому не было отмечено факторов, свидетельствуют о том, что РПГПс является справедливой для налогоплательщика и, следовательно, для общества.

Morphology and sustainability in the project of public spaces. The case of the historic centre of Viterbo (Italy)
Authors: Maretto Marco , Gherri Barbara , Chiovitti Anthea , Pitanti Greta , Scattino Francesco , Boggio Nicolò
Published: May 2020

The research at the base of the project proposal is based on the idea that a city is, first of all, a body made out of "fabrics": Social, economic, cultural and environmental fabrics that in the physical form of the built environment find their dynamic expression. If the morphological analysis of Viterbo urban fabric has been then the analytical base of the design process, the focus on daily use of urban spaces has been its main analytical goal. But to talk about a shared, efficient, citizen-friendly city, means, at the end of the day, to tell of a sustainable city where Morphology and Sustainability can be part of a unique creative process. That has been our main goal from a methodological point of view. The city is in fact a key resource for the environmental control. The scale of microclimate come into play tighter interactions between design and climate data, improving context environmental conditions, promoting social relations between users and enabling energy-saving-strategies for the creation of a healthy and comfortable urban environment. The joint use of Urban Morphology together with an accurate environmental analysis by GIS Environmental maps and a parametric costs control of design choices for the Economic and Financial sustainability has made possible the design of living spaces, aware and respectful from the identity point of view, efficient from the energetic point of view, but also open and flexible to the changing use conditions of city-life.
Roofing and thawing the sub-Arctic city. Towards the conceptualisation of wellbeing through urban surfaces
Authors: Oikarinen Essi
Published: May 2020

An increasing amount of sub-Arctic population is living in cities and settlements. Despite the urbanisation, seasonality still affects the rhythm of life and willingness to spend time outside of home, which, in turn, affects health and wellbeing of the population. In addition to built artefacts, the materiality of sub-Arctic urban environment consists largely of changing weather conditions and seasonality, including phenomena such as thawing, freezing, snow, ice and slush, which have diverse effects on humans using the urban spaces, yet are not often part of conceptualisations of urban space that are formed in southern climates. In this paper, the relationship between sub-Arctic urban form, climate and users of the urban realm is critically re-evaluated using the concept of surface. Based on a review of the literature, the proposed approach gives agency not only to the weather, but also to different types of people inhabiting the urban space. This paper argues that the proposed approach takes better into account the varied nature of sub-Arctic urban spaces and their affordances as an entity: from privatised, roofed and weather-neutralised shopping centres and arcades to sledding hills, skating rinks and other winter-related spaces. This kind of conceptualisation could be beneficial when developing soft mobility plans for northern regions. Encouraging physical activity has direct effects on the physiological health of the population, but in addition to that, the approach attempts to acknowledge personal control of different user groups as a central aspect of wellbeing, which makes the viewpoint more holistic.
Public-private interaction in low-rise, high-density Tokyo. A morphological and functional study of contemporary residential row-houses
Authors: Sano Satoshi , Filipović Ivan , Radović Darko
Published: May 2020

The focus of this paper is liveable, low-rise high-density urban morphologies of residential architecture and urban planning practices in Tokyo. Over the last several decades, historically established qualities in cities worldwide are increasingly sacrificed in favour of globalization–led ‘universal’ typologies. Tokyo is not an exception: it is gradually changing to a high-rise, high-density built city environment.
From a morphological point of view, the paper demonstrates bioclimatic and cultural disadvantages of such developmental paradigm shift in Tokyo. Presented case studies elaborate upon the ways in which low-rise high-density environments and subsequent urban forms better facilitate human interaction and, consequently, can aid in reducing social isolation and contribute to mental well-being.
Presented case studies, observed over the period of six years depict how residential environments created by row-houses can be seen as a collection of adjoining private spaces. The emphasis is on the interconnected set of phenomena: low-rise high-density morphologies, climate-responsive semi-exterior spaces, facilitating human and public-private interaction.
The conducted morphological and functional analysis shows how design requirements of bioclimatic responsive semi-exterior space fully coincide with those of desirable public-private interface and human interaction. However, site-specific constraints critically affect spatial configurations of low-rise high-density developments in contemporary Tokyo, emphasizing the requirement for case-by-case attention in design and management of such places. Only design processes conscious of spatial management aware of the potential embedded in the design process can enhance socio-cultural interplay and bioclimatic performance.

The significance of green public spaces is well documented in relation to social inclusiveness, human health, and biodiversity, yet how green public spaces achieve what Gough (2017) has termed ‘sustainable wellbeing’ is less understood. This contribution presents preliminary results from a study of green public spaces in four mega-cities of South and Southeast Asia: Chennai (Republic of India), Metro Manila (Republic of the Philippines), Singapore, and Shanghai (People’s Republic of China), cities that have climates ranging from tropical, to subtropical and temperate. The conceptual framework brings together social practice theories with human development theories, methodological implications for the study of park usage, and Protected Needs. This study sets out to understand how parks satisfy human needs by uncovering practices in relation to activities and material arrangements. Central to the research design and sampling strategy is a desire to understand park-related practices in all of their diversity, and accounting for how different activities are carried out by diverse groups of people. The paper presents exemplary results showing that parks provide a space in which a multitude of needs are satisfied, and that parks cannot be substituted by other settings such as commercialized spaces. The paper will conclude by discussing tensions between types of park usage, and in relation to commercial encroachments on public space.
Svijet (ni)je naučio lekciju iz financijske krize
Authors: Gavranović Ante
Published: May 2020

Velika financijska i ekonomska kriza pravi su školski primjer ekonomske katastrofe neshvatljivih razmjera. Iako (do danas) još uvijek nema konsenzusa o uzrocima ove krize, većina stručnjaka prepoznaje krivce za krizu, ponajviše u financijskom sustavu koji se odmaknuo od kontrole i izbjegava regulaciju i nadzor. Više od deset godina nakon početka financijske krize, centralni bankari i političari tapšu po leđima: najgore je iza nas i oporavak je učinjen. Greška. Samo je pitanje vremena do izbijanja krize. I to punom snagom ... Makroekonomski indeks otpornosti (kojeg su zajedno razvili švicarski institut SRE - Swiss Re i
britansko sveučilište LSE - londonska ekonomska škola) pokazuje da je globalna ekonomija danas manje otporna na globalnu financijsku krizu nego 2007. Analiza pokazuje da je 80 posto zemalja (koje pokrivaju 31 zemlju s 75% udjela u svjetskom BDP-u) sada ranjivije u tom pogledu, uprkos činjenici da su financijske institucije jače nego što su bile na početku krize. Nedavno je na blogu Svjetske banke objavljen članak čiji je autor Augusto Lopez-Claros, bivši direktor Globalnih pokazatelja i analitičar Svjetske banke. Zanimljiv je iz više razloga: posebno jer se zalaže za fiskalnu stabilizaciju u narednim godinama. Upozorio je da je danas u mnogim zemljama javni dug na razini zadnji put viđenoj na kraju Drugog svjetskog rata. Prema njegovom mišljenju, neki oblik fiskalne konsolidacije, podržan drugim strukturnim i institucionalnim reformama, možda će biti jedini održiv put u narednim godinama. U prilog ovoj tvrdnji iznosi i tri argumenta. To su sveukupno smanjeni fiskalni prostor, zatim povećani srednjoročni pritisci i, konačno, volatilnost financijskog tržišta. Kako su novinari i opće poslovno novinarstvo reagirali na početak financijske krize i što smo naučili iz nje? Je li nova financijska kriza stvarno na putu?

Eco-management of organizations within the green economy system
Authors: Portna Oksana V. , Iershova Natalia Yu.
Published: May 2020

The article examines the significance and role of eco-management in the system of green economy as it is connected with the need to develop new scientific and methodological approaches to managerial decision-making aimed at ensuring resource-oriented production and economic activities of an organization. The purpose of the research is to develop management technologies for eco-management to build a green economy. The eco-management technologies are studied in the following areas: 1) an analysis and evaluation of statistical observations on economic development trends and identification of issues in resource conservation, 2) justification of the need for a new approach to managing organizations, namely considering an environmental component in the decision-making process, 3) the choice of resource-saving measures in terms of a limited financial budget, 4) algorithmic implementation of environmental management components as an important component of an organization's competitive strategy.
The methodical approach to the choice of environmental measures and criteria of resource utilization completeness is suggested. This allows forming the information space as a basis for making management decisions in the field of ecological safety of industrial organizations. During the last decade, the main trends of economic development have confirmed the importance of resource efficiency as far as economic and environmental aspects, which has allowed to determine the impact of research results on the economy and the environment from the standpoint of sustainable development. To this end, practical recommendations for reusing industrial waste in the production activities of companies have been provided. Within the established system of principles, criteria, and factors of rational and efficient use of resources in the conditions of modern economy, the issues of identifying and revealing the features in the development of branch organizations within the mechanism of their resource efficiency have proved to be crucial and of paramount importance.

An investigation into the relationship between teachers’ job performance and job satisfaction in Myanmar.
Authors: Myint Lay Aye Aye
Published: May 2020

1.          IntroductionIn society, demanding the development of the youth, teachers’ job performance both inside and outside the classroom is essential to fulfilling this demand. Teachers can influence the learning process to some significant extent. Teachers are expected to be role models for their students and, therefore, teachers’ job performance is crucial for students’ success. Teachers will normally be satisfied with their job if teachers have a good relationship with the principal(s) of their school, are offered the highest possible salaries, and are involved in the decision-making process at their school, they will normally be satisfied with their job. Job satisfaction is an important facet of people's lives and their productivity in the workplace. Job satisfaction can lead to a sense of responsibility and involvement toward achieving comprehensive career goals and contributing to the productivity of an organization (Harter, James, Schmidt, Hayes, & Theodore, 2002, cited in Ismail, 2012).Robbins states, "job satisfaction refers to the individual's general attitude towards his or her job. He adds that "a person with a high level of job satisfaction holds positive attitudes about the job, while a person who is dissatisfied with his or her job holds negative attitudes about the job" (Robbins, 2003, cited in Younes, 2012). A principal’s leadership style might affect teachers’ job satisfaction. Teachers’ job satisfaction could improve their performance in the classroom (Nadarasa & Thuraisingam, 2014). Teacher job satisfaction is a "...vital area of study since several studies have found that work satisfaction influences general life satisfaction. General life is an important influence on the daily psychological health of a teacher." This, in turn, has an impact on teachers’ job performance (Andrew and Whitney, 1974, cited in Wangai, 2012).Teacher job satisfaction is a source of motivation that sustains effort in performing tasks required of good teachers (Watson et al., 1991, cited in Wangai, 2012). Effort results in higher performance when employees clearly understand and are comfortable with their roles (Kreitner, 1986, cited in Gathungu & Wachira, 2013). If a teacher is incompetent, dissatisfied with his jobs, and not guided by proper values, the entire edifice of the education system will be shaky (Raza, 2010). Due to better performance shown by satisfied workers, it is the top priority of all organizations to achieve the desired goals by increasing their satisfaction (Chambers, 1999, cited in Iqbal & Akhtar, 2008). In this point of view, examining the relationship between teachers’ job performance and satisfaction is crucially important for promoting a better job performance in the future.

Published: May 2020

Surveys of selected terrestrial invertebrates on Anak Krakatau, Indonesia, during the 1980s/1990s
exemplify the variety of colonization and successional processes contributing to foundation of new
ecological communities. Both aeolian and vegetation-based successions are important, but interpretation
is hampered by lack of knowledge of the fauna of species-rich source areas in this tropical environment.
Major disturbances from increased visitor numbers contaminate the natural processes, and volcanic
activity is an ever-present influence. The monitoring and inventory studies needed to provide a sound
basis for ecological management and conservation of this unique island, despite wide acknowledgement
of its interest and significance, will be difficult to assure. The scenarios for documenting and conserving
terrestrial invertebrates on Anak Krakatau and Surtsey are briefly compared.

The author reviews the emotional effects of the novel coronavirus pandemic on adults and children as they cooperate to combat the risk of infection by agreeing to social isolation. Confined to their homes, patients and therapists alike must deal with reactions to stress and pressure to adapt to changes in their domestic routines and school or work settings. The author then reviews the accommodations and innovations psychoanalytic mental health professionals in particular are developing when suddenly required to move their work completely online to provide continuity of care. She reviews the fears and anxieties expressed by therapists and analysts, makes suggestions for their self-care, and offers practical advice for making the necessary adjustments to provide competent, ethical teleanalysis and teletherapy under emergency conditions. She concludes by asking what impact the current learning about telemental health will have on the future of psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.
On the use of teleanalysis during COVID-19 in Panama
Authors: Varela Yolanda
Published: May 2020

The author reviews practical and psychoanalytic features relevant to the need to convert in-room therapy and psychoanalysis to online platforms. She draws on the experience of her own analysis that included both in-room and distance segments to comment on the use of the differing experiences to enlarge the meaning, and on anxieties of both analysand and analyst in this shift in modalities. In doing so, she employs the theoretical ideas of Jose Bleger on the meaning of the frame to represent the earliest pre-verbal experiences and disruptions that stem from that developmental period of life.
Traumatised women—organised violence
Authors: Varvin Sverre , Lægreid Eivor
Published: May 2020

This article focuses on the conditions for the development of organised violence to women and children with the ensuing traumatic effects, and details the situation of the affected persons. The claim is that present situations of social unrest, wars, and persecution produce conditions where archaic images of male dominance and entitlement are likely to emerge. When these are justified by some religious–political ideology, atrocities are particularly likely to follow. In the same way that ethnic groups may be targeted, women and girls may be the chosen objects of repression and aggression.

En el presente artículo se describe el diseño, simulación e implementación de un prototipo de gestión, operación y control de un sistema de iluminación fotovoltaico desde una plataforma Cloud/GIS. La plataforma Cloud/GIS regula la intensidad lumínica de diferentes luminarias LED interconectadas y visualizadas en un Sistema de Información Geográfico, GIS. El prototipo electrónico de iluminación LED se instaló en la Universidad Técnica de Ambato. El prototipo de control automático de iluminación se programa para dos formas de funcionamiento: los días de lunes a viernes, y los sábados y domingos. Asimismo, se propone una metodología de análisis del impacto económico y medioambiental, asociado a la implementación de una plataforma de gestión, operación y control de sistemas fotovoltaicos de iluminación. Finalmente, se realizó un análisis comparativo del impacto económico y medioambiental de sistemas convencionales de alumbrado público, sin ningún tipo de control de luminosidad, frente a un sistema de alumbrado público integrado a una plataforma Cloud/GIS de gestión, operación y control de luminarias LEDs.

Bacterioplankton and protists fulfil key roles in marine ecosystems. Understanding the abundance and distribution of these organisms through space and time is a central focus of biological oceanographers. The role of oceanographic features, in addition to environmental conditions, in structuring bacterioplankton and protist communities has been increasingly recognised. We investigated patterns in bacterioplankton and protist diversity and community structure across the Southland Front system, a compaction of the subtropical front zone, to the east of New Zealand’s South Island. We collected 24 seawater samples across a ~65 km transect and characterised bacterioplankton and protist community composition using high-throughput sequencing of the 16S and 18S rRNA genes, respectively. We identified frontal waters as a bacterioplankton diversity hotspot relative to neighbouring subtropical and subantarctic waters, but did not find evidence of this effect in protists. Bacterioplankton showed pronounced spatial structuring across the front, with communities closely tracking water type through the region. Protist communities also tracked water type through the region, though this effect was substantially less pronounced. We used an ecological null model approach to demonstrate that protist communities are primarily assembled through stochastic processes, whilst bacterioplankton are primarily assembled through deterministic processes across the Southland Front system. We suggest that this divergence emerges from fundamental differences in the characteristics of bacterioplankton and protist communities. Our findings add to a growing body of literature highlighting the importance of oceanographic features in shaping bacterioplankton and protist communities, promoting the necessity for such features to be considered more explicitly in the future.
Framing Childhood: Representations of Children in Gunnar Lundh’s Photo Agency Archive
Authors: Hörnfeldt Helena
Published: May 2020

Based on Gunnar Lundh’s photographs from the period 1920-1960, this article aims to discuss how a visualisation of children and childhood in cultural history collections can be addressed. This period is known as the time when the Swedish welfare state and society took shape, a period when the conditions for children in society changed in a number of ways. Lundh’s photographs are therefore viewed as cultural expressions of an era of cultural, societal and political change in which photographs of children came to play a particularly important role. Some of Lundh’s pictures have been reproduced in works about the constructive period of the Swedish welfare state and have thereby had an important role in narrating the story of the welfare society. In this way, Lundh’s photographs of children must be understood in the specific context of visual representations of children and childhood from this time period. In the many pictures of children in Lundh’s collection, the children play, are dressed up in fine clothes and national costumes, visit the library, pick flowers, play along the shore, etc. The children are depicted both active and passive, innocent, childish and pure. In that sense, the photographs follow a genre-specific way to portray children which was typical at the time and still is. In the article, I argue that an understanding and a specific way of seeing and portraying children and childhood became institutionalised during this period. However, in this institutionalisation process of images of childhood, Lundh’s pictures of children seem to reproduce and enhance this “pictorial vocabulary” in many ways that appear natural to childhood.
“…of immediate use to society”. On Folklorists, Archives and the Definition of “Others”
Authors: Hyltén-Cavallius Charlotte , Fernstål Lotta
Published: May 2020

This article focuses on archival collections relating to so-called “tattare” and “zigenare” (roughly translated as “tinkers” and “gypsies”) created by Swedish folklore scholars during the twentieth century, and how these scholars influenced politics and interventions regarding these categories. It addresses questions regarding the production of knowledge about these categories and the contexts, structures and actors that have created the basis for these kinds of collections. Special focus has been placed on works by the folklore scholars Carl-Martin Bergstrand and Carl-Herman Tillhagen, and collections at the Institute for Language and Folklore, Department of Dialectology, Onomastics and Folklore Research and the Nordic Museum. By unfolding the networks of Bergstrand and Tillhagen and following the traces of their work to other archives, the article highlights some of the political and monitoring dimensions of archival practices in relation to minority groups in Sweden.

Background and objectives: Lower vitamin status has been linked to cognitive deficits, pending mechanistic elucidation. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], folate and cobalamin were explored against brain volumes and white matter integrity (WMI).

Methods: Two prospective waves from Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity Across the Life Span (HANDLS) study were primarily used [Baltimore, City, MD, 2004–2015, N = 183–240 urban adults (Agev1: 30–64 years)]. Serum vitamin 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], folate and cobalamin concentrations were measured at visits 1 (v1: 2004–2009), while structural and diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (sMRI/dMRI) outcomes were measured at vscan: 2011–2015. Top 10 ranked adjusted associations were corrected for multiple testing using familywise Bonferroni (FWER < 0.05) and false discovery rates (FDR, q-value < 0.10).

Results: We found statistically significant (FWER < 0.05; β±SE) direct associations of 25(OH)D(v1) with WM volumes [overall: +910 ± 336/males: +2,054 ± 599], occipital WM; [overall: +140 ± 40, males: +261 ± 67 and Agev1 > 50 years: +205 ± 54]; parietal WM; [overall: +251 ± 77, males: +486 ± 129 and Agev1 > 50 years: +393 ± 108] and left occipital pole volume [overall: +15.70 ± 3.83 and above poverty: 19.0 ± 4.3]. Only trends were detected for cobalamin exposures (q < 0.10), while serum folate (v1) was associated with lower mean diffusivity (MD) in the Anterior Limb of the Internal Capsule (ALIC), reflecting greater WMI, overall, while regional FA (e.g., cingulum gyrus) was associated with greater 25(OH)D concentration.

Conclusions: Among urban adults, serum 25(OH)D status was consistently linked to larger occipital and parietal WM volumes and greater region-specific WMI. Pending longitudinal replication of our findings, randomized controlled trials of vitamin D supplementation should be conducted against brain marker outcomes.
