Repeated Measures Designs and Analysis of Longitudinal Data: If at First You Do Not Succeed—Try, Try Again
Authors: Schober Patrick , Vetter Thomas R.
Published: June 2018

Anesthesia, critical care, perioperative, and pain research often involves study designs in which the same outcome variable is repeatedly measured or observed over time on the same patients. Such repeatedly measured data are referred to as longitudinal data, and longitudinal study designs are commonly used to investigate changes in an outcome over time and to compare these changes among treatment groups. From a statistical perspective, longitudinal studies usually increase the precision of estimated treatment effects, thus increasing the power to detect such effects. Commonly used statistical techniques mostly assume independence of the observations or measurements. However, values repeatedly measured in the same individual will usually be more similar to each other than values of different individuals and ignoring the correlation between repeated measurements may lead to biased estimates as well as invalid P values and confidence intervals. Therefore, appropriate analysis of repeated-measures data requires specific statistical techniques. This tutorial reviews 3 classes of commonly used approaches for the analysis of longitudinal data. The first class uses summary statistics to condense the repeatedly measured information to a single number per subject, thus basically eliminating within-subject repeated measurements and allowing for a straightforward comparison of groups using standard statistical hypothesis tests. The second class is historically popular and comprises the repeated-measures analysis of variance type of analyses. However, strong assumptions that are seldom met in practice and low flexibility limit the usefulness of this approach. The third class comprises modern and flexible regression-based techniques that can be generalized to accommodate a wide range of outcome data including continuous, categorical, and count data. Such methods can be further divided into so-called “population-average statistical models” that focus on the specification of the mean response of the outcome estimated by generalized estimating equations, and “subject-specific models” that allow a full specification of the distribution of the outcome by using random effects to capture within-subject correlations. The choice as to which approach to choose partly depends on the aim of the research and the desired interpretation of the estimated effects (population-average versus subject-specific interpretation). This tutorial discusses aspects of the theoretical background for each technique, and with specific examples of studies published in Anesthesia & Analgesia, demonstrates how these techniques are used in practice.
Smashing mantis shrimp strategically impact shells
Authors: Crane R. L. , Cox S. M. , Kisare S. A. , Patek S. N.
Published: June 2018

Many predators fracture strong mollusk shells, requiring specialized weaponry and behaviors. The current shell fracture paradigm is based on jaw- and claw-based predators that slowly apply forces (high impulse, low peak force). However, predators also strike shells with transient intense impacts (low impulse, high peak force). Toward the goal of incorporating impact fracture strategies into the prevailing paradigm, we measured how mantis shrimp (Neogonodactylus bredini) impact snail shells, tested whether they strike shells in different locations depending on prey shape (Nerita spp., Cenchritis muricatus, Cerithium spp.) and deployed a physical model (Ninjabot) to test the effectiveness of strike locations. We found that, contrary to their formidable reputation, mantis shrimp struck shells tens to hundreds of times while targeting distinct shell locations. They consistently struck the aperture of globular shells and changed from the aperture to the apex of high-spired shells. Ninjabot tests revealed that mantis shrimp avoid strike locations that cause little damage and that reaching the threshold for eating soft tissue is increasingly difficult as fracture progresses. Their ballistic strategy requires feed-forward control, relying on extensive pre-strike set-up, unlike jaw- and claw-based strategies that can use real-time neural feedback when crushing. However, alongside this pre-processing cost to impact fracture comes the ability to circumvent gape limits and thus process larger prey. In sum, mantis shrimp target specific shell regions, alter their strategy depending on shell shape, and present a model system for studying the physics and materials of impact fracture in the context of the rich evolutionary history of predator–prey interactions.

A metafunção interpessoal nos gêneros relato e sentença: contribuições linguísticas para o ensino de Direito
Authors: Rodrigues Tiago De Aguiar
Published: June 2018

Este trabalho analisa as estratégias empregadas por estudantes do curso de Direito de uma faculdade particular de Brasília, para construir o sistema do modo oracional (GOUVEIA, 2009) em dois gêneros discursivos atrelados ao universo jurídico: o relato e a sentença. Em um primeiro momento, justifica-se a escolha da Linguística Sistêmico-funcional (HALLIDAY & MATTHIESSEN, 2014; FUZER & CABRAL, 2010; NEVES, 2007; VIAN JR, 2009; e SILVA, 2010) como aporte teórico da pesquisa. Em seguida, definem-se, segundo essa teoria, o sistema MODO, bem como os elementos que o constituem (modo (finito + Sujeito) e resíduo (predicador + complemento + adjunto)), e se relaciona brevemente a discussão de modalidade a gêneros discursivos (SILVA, 2010). Na metodologia, apresentam-se como os dados deste trabalho foram levantados. Na seção de análise de resultados, cruzam-se as análises com os pressupostos teóricos. Os dados mostraram que os alunos, mesmo antes de terem explicações teóricas sobre os gêneros em questão, possuem conhecimento prévio sobre as relações interpessoais nesses gêneros, principalmente na sentença, em que é possível definir melhor o actante principal: o juiz. Esses resultados comprovam a necessidade de se trabalhar, em sala de aula e de maneira mais sistemática, aspectos léxico-gramaticais vinculados às condições de produção dos gêneros.
Drivers, enablers and resistors of electronic health record system implementation in India
Authors: Jakhar Meenakshi , Srivastava Manoj K
Published: June 2018

Technology enabled healthcare is transforming the healthcare sector by altering the way health services are delivered. An electronic health record system is one such intervention that has integrated technology with healthcare to improve the quality of care. Implementing an electronic health record system is a complex process involving multiple stakeholders. Research has shown that a substantial amount of projects fail, or are scrapped, leading to a loss in terms of finances effort and resources. It is, therefore, vital to identify the drivers, enablers and resistors of the electronic health record system implementation in order to gain a better understanding of the process. The majority of research on electronic health record initiatives has been undertaken in developed countries. However, there is a significant difference in infrastructure, regulatory policies, demographics and context between the developed and the developing countries, and the research from the developed countries cannot be wholeheartedly replicated in an emerging market. This article explores the drivers, enablers and resistors of the electronic health record system implementation. in a public hospital, in an emerging economy focusing on case based-evidence from India. The results are reflected in light of existing theories of change implementation and diffusion.
Entangled states: Putting affect theory into play with John Burnside’s A Summer of Drowning
Authors: Ringer Laurie
Published: June 2018

This article reads John Burnside’s A Summer of Drowning (2011) as resistance to the progress narratives or ‘man-making tales’ (Haraway 2016) that threaten life in fiction and in reality. The choice in Burnside’s gothic narrative and in affect theory is not to drown or not to drown but how to engage with old habits of thought that drown us in recursivity. The Norwegian island Kvaløya/Sállir is both marked and obscured by troubling events in history and in fiction, though it is impossible to tell which is which. At 28, narrator Liv Rossdal reflects on the disturbing events of midnattsol when she was 18. In the temporal distortions, it is hard to know what actually happens, but Liv and her artist mother Angelika survive by cultivating different styles of noticing their entangled states and ecologies (Tsing 2015, Barad 2007). Noticing the ways that ‘real’ characters are entangled with fairytale characters like Narcissus and the huldra disrupts habits that centre anthropocentric points of view, that eclipse other ways of making history, and that commoditize certain types of desire. Liv and her mother resist the simplifications, linearizations, and commoditizations of man-making habits by cultivating ‘unnatural’ connections. What else can bodies do, besides drown in representational thought in these disturbing times?

W poszukiwaniu „narodowości w fotografice”
Authors: Szymanowicz Maciej
Published: June 2018

In Search for the “National Features in Photography” Summary The main point of the paper is the interest of Polish photographers in nationalist ideas, which has long been one of the forgotten and overlooked episodes in the history of twentieth-century Polish photography. The issue appeared for the first time in 1931-1933, when Polish photographic magazines published a debate about revealing national traits in a photo. It was an aftermath of the idea of the national style in Polish art, promoted since the early 1920s in relation to the needs of the state that just became independent. The greatest authorities of the time took part in the debate, including Jan Bułhak, Józef Świtkowski, Jan Sunderland, and Antoni Wieczorek, who were the main theorists of the Polish photography in the early 20th century. Analyzing the problem, they reverted to various arguments, from purely formal ones, assuming a characteristic tendency of Polish artists to choose particular forms and types of composition (a view based on the theory of pictorialism), through thematic (referring to collective memory and the historical experience of Poles), sociological, and even legal (based on the ideas of Leon Petrażycki). The same arguments were often used later throughout the century. The paper presents the development and theoretical basis of the debate in the early 1930s, as well as later evolution of the concepts which, coined at that time, contributed to the theory of Polish photography in the 20th century.

Machine Repair System with F-Policy, Two Unreliable Servers, and Warm Standbys
Authors: Kumar Kamlesh , Jain Madhu , Shekhar Chandra
Published: June 2018

This investigation deals with machine repair problems with F-policy and a repair facility that has two unreliable servers and the provision of warm standbys. F-policy implies that when the number of failed machines reaches a maximum capacity K of the system, the next arrival of failed machines is not allowed into the system until the number of failed machines again decreases to a fixed level F. The first server repairs the failed machines as soon as they fail, but the second server starts the repair service only when there are more than a prespecified number of failed machines available in the system to minimize the work load of failed machines in the system. Both servers may be broken down during the repair of failed machines and, after repair, again return to the system for service to the failed machines. We developed a Markov model for the machine repair problem, which consists of the combination of operating and standby machines using the birth-death process. The matrix method is employed to determine the transient probabilities of the number of failed machines in the system, throughput of the system, and some other performance measures. The cost function is also provided for the determination of optimal service rates to depict the system utility at optimum cost.

Electronic and electrochemical properties of grid-type metal ion complexes (Fe+2 and Co2+) with a pyridine-pyrimidine-pyridine based bis(hydrazone)
Authors: Chaur Valencia Manuel Noé , Zuluaga Corrales Héctor Fabio , Martínez Gabriel
Published: June 2018

Se reporta la síntesis de nuevos complejos metálicos de Co2+ y Fe2+ tipo rejilla que contienen como ligando orgánico una doble hidrazona altamente soluble en solventes orgánicos. Los datos obtenidos de resonancia magnética nuclear (RMN 1H), espectroscopía infrarroja con transformada de Fourier (FT-IR) y análisis elemental indican que los complejos adoptaron una estructura de tipo rejilla. Las propiedades electrónicas de las metalo-rejillas fueron analizadas a través de espectroscopía UV-Vis en cloroformo, metanol y diclorometano. Adicionalmente, se realizaron medidas de voltamperometría cíclica y voltametría de onda cuadrada en DMF. Los complejos exhibieron dos procesos de oxidación atribuidos al ligando orgánico y a varios eventos reductivos que comprometían al ligando y a los centros metálicos, por tanto, la interacción entre la naturaleza del ion metálico y la estructura del ligando fue analizada en detalle. Estos resultados representan un avance en la química de metalo-rejillas no solo por los escasos reportes de propiedades electroquímicas encontrados en la literatura, sino también por el diseño de nuevos ligandos hidrazónicos de alta solubilidad y fácil preparación.

La acción en perspectiva. Una aproximación desde la neuroética y la teoría de la racionalidad Elsteriana
Authors: Vázquez Parra José Carlos , García Caballero Lorena
Published: June 2018

El artículo busca hacer una reflexión sobre la acción y la toma de decisiones desde la neuroética y la teoría de la racionalidad elsteriana. En este análisis, se pretende escudriñar en los elementos que son considerados como constituyentes del acto desde ambos enfoques, determinando qué rol juega la racionalidad al momento de la toma de decisiones. A pesar de que ambas propuestas, la neuroética y la propuesta elsteriana, valoran la racionalidad sobre cualquier otro elemento del comportamiento, en la conclusión se ha podido identificar que existen nociones, como las emociones, que, aunque muchas veces no se consideran, desempeñan un rol tan relevante al momento de tomar decisiones, que pueden incluso constituirse como elementos en común entre ambas propuestas teóricas.
Pensamiento Tecnocientífico Hiperhumanidad
Authors: Aguilar Rocha Irving Samadhi
Published: June 2018

Este estudio busca comprender el tiempo en que vivimos caracterizada por la era de la ciencia y la tecnología, en un tiempo en que no se reducen a herramientas u objetos a disposición del ser humano, sino que se han convertido en formas de ver y entender el mundo, entendimientos y formas que hoy son dominantes, poderosas y hegemónicas. Así expuesto podemos hablar de una “cultura” científico y tecnológicadominantes en la medida en que establece una epistemología del mismo tipo. Se propone desde aquí esclarecer en qué medida la técnica actual o tecnología se instaura como un poder nunca antes visto y que se ve expresado en todos los ámbitos de nuestra vida, pero no de manera superficial sino de forma profunda, es decir, en la manera de entender y relacionarse con el mundo. La técnica actual posibilita los sistemas de control explícitos e implícitos en el desarrollo de las sociedades actuales que determinan con su constitución en lo individual como en lo colectivo, manteniendo las relaciones de poder y asimetría entre el pensamiento hegemónico, tecnocientífico y lo “otro” (todo aquello que no puede ser representado y pensando bajo esta lógica). Si bien Lipovestsky caracteriza al nuevo régimen de cultura (nunca antes visto antes) como hipermodernidad, aquí se propone reflexionar entorno al pensamiento tecnocientífico como expresión de una hiperhumanidad/deshumanidad.

Published: June 2018

Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate gas exchange and production of Maçã bananas type, at different times of the year and the day in semi-arid environment. Seven genotypes genotypes were used: Maçã, Caipira, BRS Tropical, BRS Princesa, YB42-03, YB42-17 and YB42-47, arranged in a completely randomized experimental design with five replicates and four useful plants per plot. For the physiological characteristics, a factorial arrangement 7x7x2 was considered (seven genotypes, seven evaluation periods, two reading times, 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.). Photosynthetic rates, carboxylation efficiency, and instantaneous water use efficiency are higher at 8:00 a.m., due to meteorological conditions, while foliar temperature and transpiration are higher at 2:00 p.m., due to the elevation of air temperature and low humidity. Months with higher radiation and intermediate temperature provided higher rates of photosynthesis, higher efficiency of carboxylation and photochemistry of photosynthesis. In general, genotype YB42-47 was the most productive, with higher water use efficiency and photosynthesis rates.

ABSTRACT: Selenium (Se) fertilization in grazing to biofortification of animal products have been carried out in low Se soils. The objective of this study was to increase the Se content in the biomass of Brachiaria spp.with urea coated with Se. The experiment was performed in a typical Hapludox soil under greenhouse conditions. A completely randomized block design with four replicates in a factorial structure with two cuts and six Se doses (0, 10, 20, 40, 80, and 160gha-1) was used. The Brachiaria brizantha demonstrated the absence of changes in higher harmful doses without modifying the activity of glutathione peroxidase enzyme. We concluded that enrichment of Brachiaria brizantha with coated urea is obtained with 34.5gha-1of Se.

Diversas metodologias qualitativas são abordadas e desnudadas, considerando-se o contexto de sujeitos sociais ligados aos países da CPLP e ao mundo colonial. Na busca por uma sociologia das falas e uma geografia dos discursos, damos ênfase à importância do cotidiano como base de trabalho e reflexão epistemológica. Pensá-lo continuamente a partir das diferenças relacionais que o contexto lusófono provoca, é parte do resultado da reflexão do pesquisador nessa seara.
A importância da perspectiva histórica para o pensamento social em saúde: a contribuição de Madel Luz e Emerson Merhy
Authors: Marques Maria Cristina da Costa , Ianni Áurea Maria Zöllner , Mendes Áquila , Mantovani Rafael
Published: June 2018

Resumo O artigo examina a obra de dois autores representativos da produção acadêmica de saúde coletiva nos anos 1970-1980: Madel Luz e Emerson Merhy. Sua produção teórica se apoiou em estudos marxistas e em Michel Foucault, dando centralidade à história. Procurou-se analisar esse aspecto, que nesses trabalhos se tornou importante para o campo da saúde coletiva, pois os autores romperam com o pensamento anterior, positivista e evolucionista, sobre saúde. Concluiu-se que, embora os autores reiterem ideias e abordagens metodológicas dos seus antecessores, eles são parte do grupo que inaugurou uma historiografia crítica no campo da saúde. O estudo de obras como essas contribui para a compreensão da relevância da historicidade na relação entre saúde coletiva, política, saber e prática.
Capturing effects of container location dispersion on quay crane performance
Authors: Yu Hang , Ge Ying-En , Fu Xiaowen , Huang Youfang , Zhang Yahua , Tan Caimao
Published: June 2018

The relationship between container location dispersion for a single loading and the efficiency of quay cranes (QCs) was investigated. For this purpose, a discrete-event-based simulation model was developed to capture the container-handling process at a transshipment container terminal. A series of experiments were conducted to illustrate the effects of container location dispersion on the long-term performance of QCs and container allocation. These experiments showed that the container location dispersion has a significant effect on the distribution of loading containers. An optimal choice of container location dispersions can improve the efficiency of the QC and help to manage uncertainty at a lower cost. It is suggested that yard managers consider the workload of each berth when deciding on the location dispersion for a loading service. In addition, it was found that optimal container allocation dispersion reduces the congestion caused by time window conflicts and insufficient available equipment.

Published: June 2018

Este estudo objetivou investigar as fontes de prazer e sofrimento enfrentadas pelos profissionais de Recursos Humanos (RH). Adotou-se os pressupostos teóricos da psicodinâmica do trabalho, preconizados por Dejours (1991, 1994, 1996), que estuda as relações entre a organização do trabalho e os sentidos atribuídos ao processo de subjetivação do trabalhador. Para atingir o objetivo proposto, foi realizada uma pesquisa quantitativa, com o levantamento de dados por meio da aplicação de formulário eletrônico em redes sociais com profissionais de RH atuantes em diversos tipos de empresas, localizadas predominantemente em Fortaleza-Ceará, utilizando a amostragem por bola de neve (nowball sampling). A pesquisa foi realizada a partir da escala EIPST – Escala de Prazer e Sofrimento definidos por Ferreira e Mendes (2007), que faz parte do Inventário sobre trabalho e riscos do adoecimento – ITRA. Os resultados encontrados indicam que as maiores vivências positivas estão relacionadas à confiança entre os colegas, liberdade para usar a criatividade, identificação com as tarefas. Com relação às vivências negativas, as mais significativas estão relacionadas ao esgotamento emocional, falta de reconhecimento do esforço e desqualificação.
A PARODIZAÇÃO DA AÇÃO TRÁGICA EM FRANK PIG SAYS HELLO, DE PATRICK McCABE: DRAMA SOCIAL, VIOLÊNCIA E IRREVERÊNCIA
Authors: Luna Sandra , De L. Vieira Bruno Rafael
Published: June 2018

Publicado em 1992, The Butcher Boy, celebrado romance de Patrick McCabe, logo foi adaptado para o cinema e para o teatro. Em sua forma dramática, intitulada Frank Pig Says Hello, a peça teatraliza as memórias de infância de Frank Pig, ou Piglet, um “menino-porquinho”. A despeito da dimensão trágica dos conflitos existenciais e sociais que modelam a peça de McCabe, sua dramaturgia subverte a conhecida tradição das tragédias e dos dramas sociais por meio da paródia e da ironia, substituindo o pathos trágico por humor e deboche. Fortemente marcada por traços recorrentes na arte pós-moderna, Frank Pig Says Hello apresenta-se como uma peça que, ao desconstruir as formas dramáticas tradicionais, desconstrói também, por via do riso, do sarcasmo e do grotesco, motivos e fatos associados à história da Irlanda, assim como questiona valores hegemônicos da cultura ocidental. O presente estudo analisa a parodização da ação trágica na peça, examinando as relações entre dramaticidade, violência e irreverência estética.
Corpo como resistência: questões de gênero em poemas de Elizandra Souza
Authors: Lousa Pilar Lago e
Published: June 2018

A poética de Elizandra Souza traz uma preocupação estética, literária e política com a subalternização das mulheres periféricas, relegadas pelo cânone literário nacional e marginalizadas tato pela questão de gênero quanto pelo viés geográfico-econômico e, na maioria das vezes, pelo viés racial. Importante expoente da literatura marginal-periférica, a autora tem como prática literária a busca constante pela desconstrução da representação feminina tradicional e eurocêntrica, a problematização de mitos e tabus, além de denunciar a violência e o estigma imputados às mulheres periféricas. Ao romper com agentes mediadores do processo de produção editorial, revela uma autorrepresentação que vem de dentro da periferia. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar as questões de gênero que perpassam os poemas utilizados como recorte deste estudo, contidos nos livros Punga (2007) e Águas da Cabaça (2012), e verificar como a linguagem literária é utilizada para evidenciar o corpo como espaço simbólico de luta e resistência. Para tal, serão utilizadas as perspectivas teóricas de autoras como Sueli Carneiro (2003), Bell Hooks (2014), Guacira Lopes Louro (2010), Elaine Showalter (1993), Lucia Teninna (2015) e Naomi Wolf (1992).
A educação do corpo e o processo civilizatório: a formação de “estátuas pensantes”
Authors: Pinto Rubia-Mar Nunes
Published: June 2018

O texto busca realizar um resgate histórico da relação indivíduo, sociedade e corpo na Modernidade a partir das concepções do sociólogo Norbert Elias (1897-1990). Pretendo demonstrar como educação do corpo, especialmente na infância, se apresenta como o contexto privilegiado para o processo civilizatório, a qual impõe, aos indivíduos das sociedades urbanizadas, o exercício de um intenso autocontrole das pulsões e necessidades corporais. O enfoque recai nas conseqüências advindas, para a vida individual e social, da compreensão do ser humano como ser cindido em exterior-interior, corpo-mente.
A Static-Loop-Current Attack against the KLJN Secure Key Exchange System
Authors: Melhem Mutaz Y. , Kish Laszlo B.
Published: June 2018

A new attack against the Kirchhoff-Law-Johnson-Noise (KLJN) key distribution system is introduced. The attack is based on 1) Utilizing the dc-voltage-source - which we put at Alice’s end in our mathematical modeling of the attack-that could exist due to errors, imbalances, Electromagnetic interference and etc.2) On studying the number of samples per bit in the security key that the measured Alice/Bob voltages exceeds or falls below a threshold voltage, respectively. The threshold voltage is the average between dc voltages across low and high resistors- generated by a dc-voltage source. We count the number of samples the voltage at Bob’s end (containing both the noise and dc components) exceeds the threshold voltage and how many times it falls below the threshold to judge whether the resistor can be guessed as low or high for every cycle. Also for a pre-specified key-length we count the number of high resistance estimations per bit –at Bob’s end-according to the previous criterion and the non-successful estimations per bit to judge the final guessed resistor value at Alice’s end and Bob’s end, where if we have more bits with most of its measured samples are above the threshold voltage then we will predict Bob’s resistance as high resistance, otherwise we predict Bob’s resistance to be low resistance. The Simulation was conducted and the attack proved that it is successful unless the temperature increased dramatically to ranges more than a threshold temperature ~ Kelvin that increases when the number of samples per bit increases.

Published: June 2018

In the last decade, sub-Saharan African countries have taken various measures to plan for and adapt to floods in order to reduce exposure and its impacts on human health, livelihoods and infrastructure. Measuring the effects of such initiatives on social resilience is challenging as it requires to combine multiple variables and indicators that embrace thematic, spatial and temporal dimensions inherent to the resilience thinking and concept. In this research, we apply a before-after-control-intervention (BACI) evaluation to empirically measure the impacts of the “Live with Water” (LWW) project on suburban households in Dakar, Senegal. We developed a resilience index that combines anticipatory, adaptive and absorptive capacity – considered as structural dimensions – with the concept of transformative capacity – considered as a temporal reconfiguration of the first three dimensions. Our finding let us estimate that the project increased the absorptive and the anticipatory capacities by 10.61% and 4.61%, respectively. However, adaptive capacity remained unchanged. This may be explained by the fact that the programme was more successful in building drainage and physical infrastructures, rather than improving multi-level organisations and strategies to cope with existing flood events. Further flood resilience program should better combine engineering approaches with institutional change and livelihood support to poor urban dwellers.

Published: June 2018

In our continuous search for selective anticancer treatments, we have screened 65 extracts from 45 plants collected in several areas of Western Andalusia (Spain) for cytotoxic activity against lung cancer cells and lung normal cells. Active extracts were also tested against 11 cell lines from other tissues. An extract from the leaves of Tetraclinis articulata (Vahl) Mast. (Cupressaceae) showed a marked cytotoxicity (IC50 = 0.37 ± 0.03 µg/mL) and selectivity (selectivity index = 378.3) against the lung cancer cells; cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil and an extract from the leaves of Taxus baccata L. (Taxaceae) were less cytotoxic and selective.
Assessing the Capacity to Govern Flood Risk in Cities and the Role of Contextual Factors

Published: June 2018

Sea level rise and increased storm events, urge cities to develop governance capacity. However, a cohesive conceptual and empirical-based understanding of what governance capacity implies, how to measure it, and what cities can learn, is largely lacking. Understanding the influence of context is critical to address this issue. Accordingly, we aim to identify crosscutting contextual factors and their influence in impeding, enhancing or prioritising different elements of governance capacity to address urban flood risk. By assessing governance capacity through nine conditions and 27 indicators in two Dutch and two cities in the UK, three crosscutting contextual factors are identified: 1) flood probability and impact, 2) national imposed institutional setting, and 3) level of authority to secure long-term financial support. We found that contextual factors explain differences in urban capacity-priorities within and between both countries. The institutional setting in the UK and recent political devolution emphasized the role of citizen awareness, stakeholder engagement, entrepreneurial agents, and the overall necessity for local capacity-development. The Dutch focus on flood safety through centralised public coordination reduces flood probability but also inhibits incentives to reduce flood impacts and reduced public awareness. In conclusion, the three identified contextual factors enable a better understanding of capacity-building priorities.
Impacto de la crisis en los movimientos migratorios en la Comunidad de Madrid (2007–2013)
Authors: Pozo Rivera Enrique , Rodríguez Moya Juana Mª
Published: June 2018

Una consecuencia de la crisis económica ha sido la modificación del modelo migratorio. La reducción de la intensidad de las migraciones y la aparición de saldos migratorios negativos por una emigración exterior creciente que supera la corriente inmigratoria se extiende por gran número de regiones incluida la Comunidad de Madrid. En este artículo se  estudia el caso madrileño marcado además por un cambio en la migración interprovincial y una reducción del proceso de expansión periférica metropolitana en consonancia con la reducción de las migraciones internas residenciales que condiciona la aparición de un nuevo modelo demográfico de escaso crecimiento y menor importancia del factor migratorio.

Core Ideas

Starter N may be beneficial to increase yields of drill‐seeded, delayed‐flood rice.

Starter N did not increase plant height or grain yield in both years.

Starter N does not appear to be a viable option to increase rice yield in Mississippi.

Seedling rice (Oryza sativa L.) growth can be slow on high cation‐exchange‐capacity clay soils, which represent the majority of rice acreage in Mississippi and elsewhere in the Mid‐South US rice‐growing region. Strategies to increase vigor and growth of seedling rice may be beneficial to increase yields of drill‐seeded, delayed‐flood rice. Studies were established during the 2007 and 2008 growing seasons in Stoneville, MS to evaluate the use of starter N fertilizer to improve growth and yield of rice conventional cultivar Cocodrie and the hybrid cultivar XL 723. Ammonium sulfate (AMS) was applied at 20 lb N/ac as starter N fertilizer at the two‐leaf stage. Recovery of starter N was also determined at multiple sampling times using 15N‐labeled ammonium sulfate. Hybrid XL 723 had greater tissue N concentration when measured at V5 (five‐leaf stage) than Cocodrie, but Cocodrie had greater total dry matter (TDM) and total N uptake (TNU) compared with XL 723 likely due to the higher seeding rate for Cocodrie. XL 723 produced 27 and 25% greater grain yield than Cocodrie in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Recovery of 15N was greater in XL723 compared with Cocodrie at the R1 and R3 stages but similar at V5 stage in 2007. Starter N did not increase plant height or grain yield in either variety in both years, but it increased TDM and TNU in 2008. The use of starter fertilizer does not appear to be a viable option to increase seedling vigor or grain yield of rice cultivars Cocodrie and XL 723 in Mississippi.
