O trabalho teve como objetivo caracterizar a cadeia produtiva de carne bovina da marca APROCCIMA, bem como identificar as percepções de qualidade na cadeia de produção e o comportamento do consumidor com relação ao produto. Essa marca de carne está organizada para trabalhar na forma de aliança mercadológica com certificação de origem. O método de pesquisa envolveu três momentos distintos: 1 – por meio de entrevista aos coordenadores da aliança, foram identificados os quatro agentes envolvidos na cadeia de produção: produtores, agroindústria de processamento, varejistas e mercado consumidor; 2 – aplicação de questionários estruturados aos três primeiros elos, com perguntas comuns que visaram identificar as percepções entre esses agentes; 3 – teste de aceitabilidade dos consumidores, feito por meio de amostras de carne distribuídas aos potenciais consumidores desses produtos, diretamente nos pontos identificados. A cadeia de produção está caracterizada por treze produtores, uma agroindústria e quatro mercados varejistas que comercializam em duas cidades. A carne bovina APROCCIMA, teve aceitabilidade em relação ao produto no julgamento de potenciais consumidores, apontando possíveis mercados futuros para o produto cárneo da aliança mercadológica.

Published: March 2019

El cerdo Ibérico y la mayor parte las razas de cerdos Mediterráneos, han sido consideradas como cerdos autóctonos tradicionalmente vinculados al medio en los que se han desarrollado, con libertad de movimientos y alimentación basada en recursos naturales. Sin embargo, se conoce poco sobre el papel medioambiental desempeñado por estas razas, y en la actualidad, los sistemas productivos respetuosos con el medio están ganado reconocimiento. Además, en el futuro la contaminación generada por las granjas porcinas será objeto de una regulación más rígida de la que existe hoy día, debido a la rápida expansión experimentada por este tipo de producción en los países desarrollados. El 34 % de los gases de efecto invernadero generados en la producción de carne de cerdo, corresponden a las fases de cría y engorde de los animales. Para esta finalidad, España importa maíz y soja de más de 39 países diferentes. Estos flujos de mercado ocasionan una gran cantidad de CO2, y añadido a esto, los sistemas de producción porcina intensivos generan una gran cantidad de purines. En este punto, es importante remarcar los sistemas tradicionales de producción de cerdo Ibérico caracterizados por un ciclo de producción largo y una baja densidad de animales, donde los residuos orgánicos generados no son un problema medioambiental añadido. En conclusión, las implicaciones medioambientales de la producción de cerdos mediterráneos en condiciones extensivas, aún no se han cuantificado y deben ser estudiados. Por tanto, se necesita un mayor número de investigaciones que desarrollen prácticas respetuosas con el medio ambiente evitando así impactos medioambientales innecesarios.

O porco Turopolje (TP) é uma raça suína autóctone Croata em perigo. Este estudo preliminar tinha como objectivo a determinação de parâmetros morfológicos e reprodutivos de porcas reprodutoras TP criadas de forma extensiva no Sistema tradicional ao ar livre. As medições corporais foram efectudas num total de 40 porcas e os dados reprodutivos recolhidos em 34 dessas 40 porcas inscritas no livro genalógico da raça TP. A idade média (±desvio padrão) e o peso corporal das porcas era de 67,5±26,0 meses e 96,6±18,4kg, respetivamente. A altura média na cernelha e garupa eram, respetivamente de 65,2±2,8cm e 68,4±2,9cm, enquanto que o perímetro torácico era de 111,2±10,4cm. Os comprimentos médios do corpo, cabeça, orelhas e cauda eram de 126,0±6,5cm, 27,0±0,90cm, 22,5±8,3cm e 29,9±2,01cm, respetivamente. A idade média ao primeiro parto foi de 23,3±5,7 meses. O número médio de leitões nascidos vivos foi de 4,47±1,96, dos quais 3,08±2,17 foram desmamados. Conclui-se que a população de porcas reprodutoras TP analisada apresenta uma morfologia típica, com um tamanho corporal menor que as raças modernas e uma baixa prolificidade. No entanto, a grande variabilidade nos parâmetros reprodutivos indica que é possível o seu melhoramento, desde logo através dum melhor maneio das porcas.

La tecnología NIRS se utilizó como alternativa a los métodos convencionales para determinar el contenido de nutrientes en bellotas y pastos de la dehesa. Materia seca (MS), contenido en grasa (G), proteína total (TP), almidón, compuestos fenólicos totales (FT), α-tocoferol, γ-tocoferol, ácidos grasos, fibra neutro detergente (FND), actividad antioxidante total (AAT) y energía total (ET) fueron determinadas por métodos convencionales para el posterior desarrollo de las ecuaciones de predicción del NIRS. Se han realizado todos los espectros NIR de cada una de las muestras para todos los parámetros estudiados obteniendo un modelo predictivo y una validación externa. Se han obtenido buenas ecuaciones de predicción para la humedad, contenido en grasa, proteína total, energía total y γ –tocoferol en muestras de bellotas obteniendo un alto coeficiente de correlación (1-VR) y un bajo error estándar de predicción (SEP) (1-VR=0.81, SEP=2.62; 1-VR=0.92, SEP=0.54; 1-VR=0.86, SEP=0.47; 1-VR=0.84, SEP=0.2; 1-VR=0.88, SEP=5.4, respectivamente), así como la proteína total, NDF, α-tocoferol y contenido de ácido linolénico en muestras de pasto (1-VR=0.9, SEP=1.99; 1-VR=0.87, SEP=4.13; 1-VR=0.76, SEP=10.9; 1-VR=0.82, SEP=0.6, respectivamente). Por lo tanto, estos modelos de predicción podrían ser utilizados para determinar la composición nutricional de los recursos naturales de la Montanera.
Capacidade reprodutiva dos suínos Mangalica – Qual a realidade?
Authors: Egerszegi I. , Brüssow K-P. , Sarlós P. , Manabe N. , Rátky J.
Published: March 2019

A história do porco Mangalica remonta à primeira metade do século XIX, no entanto, há informação sobre os seus ascendentes no século XVIII. Este porco tipo “gordura” chegou às suas características típicas no último quarto do século XIX sendo que estas ainda se mantêm até hoje. Dado que os porcos Mangalica estavam praticamente extintos após os anos 50’s do século passado também foi reduzida a informação científica e conhecimento prático sobre a raça. Nesta revisão comparamos em detalhe informação antiga e moderna sobre a reprodução dos suínos Mangalica. Descrições antigas relatavam o primeiro cio das marrãs Mangalica aos 10-11 meses de idade. Efetivamente, as fêmeas Mangalica podem ter cios aos 7-8 meses de idade e, portanto, podem ter o seu primeiro parto com 11-12 meses. Há relatos que várias linhas “mãe” tinham ninhadas grandes (8-9 leitões) no início do século XX, no entanto, por causa de diferentes esquemas de seleção essas linhas desapareceram. Afortunadamente, hoje podemos identificar novamente essas porcas mais prolíficas. Através da comparação do conhecimento antigo e atual da biologia reprodutiva da Mangalica devemos concluir que a incorporação do conhecimento antigo válido tem a mesma importância que os novos dados obtidos com metodologias e instrumentos mais sofisticados. A sua síntese é necessária para a preservação do valor genético original e para a produção orientada para o mercado.

Published: March 2019

O presente estudo aborda a composição da carcaça e da qualidade da carne de suínos provenientes de três fileiras distintas de criação de porcos destinados à produção de kulen Baranjski (IGP). Estas fileiras diferem na raça e no sistema de produção. Na primeira fileira, usaram-se suínos híbridos modernos que foram engordados intensivamente até ao peso vivo 160 kg, em média, atingidos aos 6 meses de idade. Na segunda cadeia produtiva utilizou-se um genótipo cruzado, Duroc x Large White, sendo os suínos criados em instalações com cama de palha espessa, foram abatidos com aproximadamente 180 kg de peso vivo e idade de 12 meses. A última das fileiras produtivas investigada envolveu porcos eslavos pretos (Crna slavonska) alimentados exclusivamente em pastoreio, até chegarem aos 110 kg de peso vivo em média (idade = 12 meses). A composição das carcaças foi apresentada como o peso de carcaça e a proporção do peso dos cortes nobres (kg) principais usados na produção de kulen Baranjski (presunto, pá e lombo) bem como a percentagem relativa de cada um na carcaça inteira. Cada peça foi dissecada nos principais tecidos (músculo, gordura e osso). Os parâmetros avaliados nas carcaças foram todos significativamente afetados pela fileira de produção. Os parâmetros de qualidade na carne foram obtidos 24 horas após o abate, incluindo: pH24; cor de carne (CIE L * a * b *); perda por gotejamento pelo método EZ drip; perda por cozedura e força de cisalhamento Warner-Bratzler. Todos os parâmetros de qualidade da carne diferiam significativamente entre as fileiras investigadas com exceção da força de cisalhamento Warner-Bratzler medida no músculo Longissimus dorsi.
Evaluación de la tecnología NIRS para el control de calidad de productos curados loncheados y envasados del cerdo Ibérico
Authors: Tejerina D. , García-Torres S. , Cabeza de Vaca M. , Ortiz A. , Romero-Fernandez M.P.
Published: March 2019

En los últimos años, el consumo de jamón Ibérico loncheado y envasado ha aumentado significativamente. Pero la vida útil de estos productos es menor que la de la pieza entera, lo que requiere que se lleven a cabo un gran número de análisis físico-químicos para el control y evolución de la calidad de los mismos. Esto requiere una gran inversión de tiempo, dinero así como la destrucción de la muestra. Por lo tanto, el objetivo principal de este trabajo fue evaluar el potencial de la Espectroscopia de Reflectancia de Cercano Infrarrojo (NIRS) como una alternativa a los métodos convencionales para la predicción a tiempo real del contenido de los principales parámetros de calidad, ya que se trata de una técnica no destructiva, rápida y versátil. Las ecuaciones predictivas se desarrollaron mediante el método de regresión multivariante por mínimos cuadrados parciales (PLS) y se evaluó el efecto de diferentes pretratamientos espectrales (1ª y 2ª derivada, EMSC, SNV y sus combinaciones). Los resultados mostraron una buena habilidad predictiva para el contenido en NaCl (SNV, R2 = 0,96, SEC = 0,12, 1-VR = 0,85, SEVC = 0,23 y RPD = 2,6), C16: 0 (1,11,15 + EMSC, R2 = 0,87; SEc = 0,93; 1-VR = 0,81; SEVC = 1,14 y RPD = 2,12) y C18: 1 (1,11,15 + SNV, R2 = 0,80; SEc = 1,70; 1-VR = 0,83; SEVC = 1,47 y RPD = 2,28). Sin embargo, los resultados para α-tocoferol, γ-tocoferol, C18: 0, C18: 2, C18: 3 y oxidación de lípidos, no fueron tan buenos, aunque podrían usarse para control interno y se podrían mejorar aumentando el número de muestras o el rango de cada parámetro.

Objetivou-secom esta pesquisa avaliar níveis de proteína bruta em rações com milho ou sorgo sobre o desempenho e qualidade de ovos de codornas japonesas na fase de postura. Foram utilizadas 320 codornas com idade inicial de 14 semanas. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial 2 x 5, sendo 2 alimentos (milho e sorgo) e 5 níveis de proteína bruta (16, 18, 20, 22 e 24%), totalizando 10 tratamentos com 4 repetições e 8 aves por unidade experimental. Foram avaliadas as variáveis de desempenho e de qualidade dos ovos. Houve efeito quadrático dos níveis de proteína bruta (PB) sobre o consumo de ração, conversão alimentar por dúzia e por massa, peso dos ovos, índice de albúmen e peso específico. A ração com milho proporcionou melhor produção de ovos e de ovos comercializáveis em relação à ração com sorgo quando o nível de PB utilizado foi de 16%. Houve efeito quadrático de níveis de PB sobre a produção de ovos totais e comercializáveis somente das aves que receberam ração com sorgo. Conclui-se que o sorgo pode substituir na totalidade o milho nas rações para codornas japonesas. Rações com sorgo devem conter 21,7% de proteína bruta para maior produção de ovos e 19,38% de proteína bruta para maior peso específico dos ovos.
DETERMINANTS OF INDONESIA’S INCOME VELOCITY OF MONEY
Authors: Sharma Susan Sunila , Syarifuddin Ferry
Published: March 2019

Using monthly time-series data and both short- and long-run models, our paper examines the determinants of Indonesia’s income velocity of money. Our findings strongly suggest that in the long-run, tax revenue, short-term interest rates, and industrial production, and in the short-run, money demand significantly determines income velocity of money. Our analysis suggests that the effect on income velocity is mostly over the long-run as most determinants are dormant in the short-run. The implication from a policy perspective is that shocks that are transitory are unlikely to burden income velocity.
THE INFLUENCE OF OIL PRICES ON INDONESIA’S EXCHANGE RATE
Authors: Narayan Seema Wati , Falianty Telisa , Tobing Lutzardo
Published: March 2019

This study tests for a long-run relation between oil prices and the rupiah–US dollarexchange rate. We discover, first, that the long-run cointegration relation between oilprices and the real exchange rate (RER) is sensitive to different exchange rate regimesin Indonesia. Second, we find a long-run cointegrating relation between oil prices andthe RER over the float exchange rate regime. However, in the managed float period,there is no evidence of a long-run relation between oil prices and the RER. In the longrun, higher oil prices lead to an appreciation of the rupiah against the US dollar in thefloat period (post-August 1997 period). We demonstrate that these results are robust todifferent data frequencies.
PRUDENTIAL REGULATORY REGIMES, ACCOUNTING STANDARDS, AND EARNINGS MANAGEMENT IN THE BANKING INDUSTRY

Published: March 2019

We analyze if a change in accounting standard or a change in prudential regulationimpacts banks’ loan loss provision. We find that, in general, the banks using aprinciples-based accounting standard exhibit a lower level of earnings managementcompared to banks using a rules-based accounting standard. When a country movesfrom pro-cyclical macro-prudential regulations to a dynamic provisioning regime,banks are more likely to set aside a larger amount of loan loss provision for the purposeof income smoothing.
Was the Cypress Cluster one of the (Many) Victims of the 1539 - 1543 De Soto Expedition?
Authors: Thurmond J. Peter
Published: March 2019

In my master's thesis on the archeology of the Cypress creek basin and a subsequent article in the Bulletin of the Texas Archeological Society, I proposed the identification of a third late prehistoric-protohistoric confederacy for the Caddoan area of northeast Texas, in addition to those of the Hasinai and Kadohadacho. I named the archeological manifestation of this hypothesized sociopolitical entity the Cypress cluster, following a model of late Caddoan sociopolitical organization formulated by Dee Ann Story. The Cypress cluster is centered geographically on the upper Cypress Creek, White Oak Bayou and Lake Fork Creek basins. Two sequential temporal units are defined within the Cypress cluster, the Whelan and Titus phases, perhaps dating to the 15th and 16th centuries, respectively. Components of the Titus phase are sufficiently well-documented to permit the identification of four distinct spatial subgroups within the Cypress cluster on the basis of their associated ceramic and lithic assemblages. These spatial subgroups are termed subclusters (the Three Basins, Tankersley Creek, swauano Creek and Big Cypress Creek subclusters), and probably represent the archeological remains of four affiliated tribal groups.
The Archaeological Conservancy: Ten Years of Preservation Success and the New Landowner's Preservation Partnership Program
Authors: McKee Bonnie C.
Published: March 2019

The Archaeological Conservancy, the only national nonprofit organization dedicated solely to the acquisition of cultural resource sites for preservation and future re search, celebrated ten years of operation in January 1990. Since its founding, the Conservancy has acquired 57 sites in eleven states. In the Caddoan Cultural Area, the Conservancy currently owns four sites (Grobin Davis in Oklahoma [34MC253], and Hale [41TT12], Fasken (41RR14], and Hudnall-Pirtle [41 RK4] in Texas} and holds a conservation easement for Cabe Mounds (41BW14), near Texarkana, Texas.

While the Conservancy's major focus for permanent preservation is the acquisition of sites to hold as archeological preserves, professional archeologists may be permitted to conduct research on Conservancy holdings by submitting a valid research design for board approval. All Conservancy preserves in Northeast Texas will be actively managed under the guidelines of a 100 year management plan which will be individually drafted for each site, and will include the participation of a committee of active professional and avocational archeologists.
The Caddo Indian Village
Authors: Bagur Jacques
Published: March 2019

The Kadohadacho, or Great Chiefs, of the Caddo Nation left their home in the Great Bend of the Red River in Arkansas in 1790 because of disease and Osage depredations and moved south, joining a related tribe, the Petit Caddo, on the floodplain of the Red River above present-day Shreveport. In 1800, when the Great Raft began to affect the area, the Caddos moved to higher ground on Sodo Lake (a complex of five lakes that later came to be called Caddo, Clear, Cross, Shifttail, and Soda). They lived there until the early 1840s, when they sold their land to the United States and moved to a reservation in Oklahoma.
Spiroan Entrepots at and Beyond the Western Border of the Tans-Mississippi South
Authors: Schambach Frank
Published: March 2019

Although this paper is primarily a reinterpretation of the Sanders site in the Red River Valley in northeastern Texas, that reinterpretation will make no sense unless I first outline, very quickly, the new paradigm for the archeology of the Arkansas Valley in eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas upon which it is based.

For the last five years, as I am sure most of you know, I have been challenging the standard interpretation of the archeology of the Arkansas Valley in eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas--the Northern Caddoan Area paradigm. I have done this on the grounds that there is no documentary evidence and no archeological evidence for a Caddoan connection of any sort other than trade. In my view the basic biological and cultural ties of this tradition, which I call the Arkansas Valley tradition, were, as Bell has speculated, to the east with peoples of the Central and Lower Mississippi Valley, not to the south with the Caddoan area or to the west with the Wichita. I suspect, as I have said before, that this tradition was a part,at least, of the long lost ancestral Tunican tradition.
Book Review: A Naturalist in Indian Territory: The Journals of S. W. Woodhouse
Authors: Keener Barbara
Published: March 2019

Samuel Washington Woodhouse, a Philadelphia physician and avid ornithologist, was appointed surgeon-naturalist of two expeditions to survey the Creek-Cherokee boundary in Indian Territory. The Creek boundary expedition that Woodhouse was asked to join was a Corps of Topographical Engineers survey party sent to survey and mark the northern and western boundaries of the Creek Indian lands in Indian Territory to comply with the requirements of the Creek Treaty of 1845. The usual purpose of these surveys was to map the land, describe its topography, and learn about its native inhabitants. Later objectives were to establish roads and to set boundaries as the westward movement of settlers began, in addition to observing and gathering specimens of the animals, plants, and minerals of the West. Woodhouse served on both expeditions of the survey, the first in 1849 under Capt. Lorenzo Sitgreaves and the second under Lt. Israel Carle Woodruff in 1850.

Preliminary Report on a Stratified Late Archaic-Woodland Era Rockshelter in Rogers County, Oklahoma
Authors: Jobson Robert W. , Winchell Frank , Picarella A.E. , Hill Kiven C.
Published: March 2019

In northeastern Oklahoma, very little is known about the transition from the Late Archaic to the Woodland period (Wyckoff and Brooks, 1983: 55). To date, most of the archeological evidence documenting this time period has been derived from sites with mixed or otherwise uncertain components. In this report, we present a preliminary description of a small rockshelter, 34RO252, which has a Late Archaic deposit stratigraphically below a Woodland era cultural deposit. These two deposits are unmixed, discrete, and are physically separated by an apparently sterile clay soil horizon. It is anticipated that the stratified cultural deposits at this site will help characterize the transition from the Late Archaic to the Early Woodland period along the Verdigris River in northeast Oklahoma.

This site was first reported in April 1994 by two men who had discovered partially exposed human skeletal remains located in the rear remnant of a rockshelter at Oologah Lake in Rogers County, Oklahoma. The two men illegally excavated the remains and removed them from the site. 1 The rockshelter where the remains originated was subsequently examined by the authors and additional skeletal material was identified, in situ, in an exposed soil profile. A series of three radiocarbon assays, described below, placed the cultural deposit and the human remains within the Late Archaic-Woodland period (circa 780 B.C. to A.O. 900).2 This site is provisionally classified as corresponding to a cultural sequence that includes the old Grove C described by Purrington and Vehik.

There, these authors challenge my Sanders entrepot hypothesis and my new paradigm for the Mississippi period archeology of the Arkansas Valley, claiming that the Sanders focus, as propounded by Alex D. Krieger, is alive and well, so much so that they have renamed it the Sanders phase to ready it for service in the 1990s and beyond.
Extractive Strategies at Peoria Quarry, Ottowa County, Oklahoma
Authors: Dickson Don
Published: March 2019

The Peoria Quarry complex was first recognized as representing prehistoric activities by geologist Walter P Jenny in 1891. Jenny, who was studying the zinc and lead mines in southwestern Missouri and adjacent areas, made collections from the Peoria extractive area and submitted these specimens along with an introductory letter to Mr. G. K Gilbert of the United States Geological Survey. The latter contacted William H. Holmes, who visited the location in late October of that year (Holmes 1894:7-8). Prior to the evaluation of Jenny, the site was referred to as "old Spanish mines" because the local populace could not attribute such extensive digging to prehistoric peoples. Some early accounts of the Peoria Quarry area greatly exaggerated the vertical and horizontal extent of excavations. For example, Nieberding mentions that John P. McNaughton visited these "mines" in 1877 and concluded that at least 500 to 1000 men must have been engaged in digging pits over an extended period of time in a 40 acre area. According to McNaughton, some of the shafts were 250 to 300 feet in depth, and it amazed him that the pits apparently had been excavated using stone tools. He did not mention the great quantities of lithic debitage which surrounded each pit Holmes, while admitting that digging at the site had been extensive, estimated that chert had been extracted from an area of no more than four or five acres and stated that the greatest depth of pits in 1891 was about five feet. He did mention that a few trenches of 100 feet or more in length could be found along the margins of the site, but stated that most evidence of digging consisted of round pits up to 40 feet in diameter. His sketch map depicts the approximate extent of quarry pits and associated workshop areas.

The Caddo Indian Burial Ground (3MN386), Norman, Arkansas
Authors: Early Ann M. , Trubitt Mary B.
Published: March 2019

Human burials were exposed accidentally during construction of a city sewer treatment plant in Norman, Arkansas, in October 1988. Archeological salvage excavations in the days following, directed by Ann Early of the Arkansas Archeological Survey’s Henderson Research Station, identified two burials, a small cluster of residential features, and artifacts dating from the Archaic through Caddo periods. After discussions between the various agencies and groups involved, a new location was found for the sewer treatment plant. The human bone and associated grave goods were returned to the Caddo Tribe for reburial, and the site was covered up for protection. The site, 3MN386, originally named the Norman Sewer Plant site and now called the Caddo Indian Burial Ground in Norman, is part of a city park. The Southern Montgomery County Development Council has plans to install a series of signs along a walking path at the park to interpret the site.

Site 3MN386 is located on a low terrace next to the confluence of Huddleston Creek and the Caddo River. Based on the distribution of chipped stone debris, the site was at least 1.5 hectares (almost 4 acres) in area, but the full extent of the site was never determined by archeological investigations. The archeological salvage excavations in 1988 were limited to a small area of 25 x 30 m where the burials and other features were uncovered. While artifacts diagnostic of Archaic and Fourche Maline periods were found at the site, the main use of the site was in the Mississippian period. Two Caddoan occupations between about AD 1250-1500 are indicated based on the materials associated with these features: an earlier residential use of the site that left the remains of a large circular house with hearth and a burned ash floor deposit; and a later use of the site as a cemetery.
The Pine Saddle site (3PL1080) in the Ouachita Mountains, Polk County, Arkansas
Authors: Perttula Timothy K. , Nelson Bo
Published: March 2019

Novaculite was procured and knapped by aboriginal Indian populations living in southwestern Arkansas for thousands of years, and there are numerous prehistoric novaculite quarries in the Ouachita Mountains. In Late Archaic times. this desirable material was widely traded and exchanged with other groups to the south, east, and west, particularly with the peoples living at the Poverty Point site and environs in the lower Mississippi valley in northern Louisiana. Later groups such as the Caddo also made considerable use of this material, since it was in their traditional homelands, and many habitation sites and mound centers in the region contain quantities of novaculite lithic debris and tools. Other local materials were also chosen for lithic tool manufacture, such as Big Fork chert, a distinctive black chert. Abundant amounts of novaculite and Big Fork chert are also found apparently in nondomestic Caddo contexts on lithic workshops and camp sites in the Ouachita Mountains, and one such site is discussed in this article.
Remote Sensing at the Horace Cabe Site (41BW14)
Authors: Walker Chester P. , Perttula Timothy K.
Published: March 2019

A magnetometer survey was conducted at the Horace Cabe Mound site (41BW14) in 2005 by Walker and Schultz as part of the Bowie County Levee Realignment project in Bowie County, Texas. The purpose of the survey was to attempt to locate anomalies that may represent potential archaeological features at this important Late Caddo mound center near the Red River. The area was surveyed using a Geometrics portable G858 cesium sensor magnetometer and a G-856 proton magnetometer base station. This article puts on record another substantive example of Caddo archaeology as seen through the use of remote sensing technology.

The original processing and interpretation of this data presented in Sundermeyer et al. are not simply re-hashed here. Further data processing has revealed several possible Caddo structures on and in the immediate vicinity of Mounds B and C at the Cabe site.
Archeological Investigations of the Lang Pasture (41AN38) Midden Deposits on private property west of the SH 155 Right-of-Way, Anderson County, Texas

In the spring of 2006 data recovery investigations were completed at the Lang Pasture site (41AN38) by Coastal Environments, Inc. (Baton Rouge, Louisiana) and Archeological & Environmental Consultants, LLC (Austin and Pittsburg, Texas) for the Texas Department of Transportation. The site is situated along the SH 155 rightof- way in the Caddo Creek basin in northeastern Anderson County, Texas, in the Caddo archeological area of Northeast Texas. The archeological excavations indicate that the site was primarily occupied by Caddo peoples during the Frankston phase, sometime after A.D. 1400. The number and kinds of features identified in the right-of-way—portions of two circular structures, two possible ramadas or work platforms, several large pit features, and a number of extended burials with associated funerary offerings— indicate that the Lang Pasture site is likely a domestic farmstead occupied by more than 1-2 families. Most of the site occurs outside the right-of-way on private property.

At the time of the data recovery work, Bo Nelson and Mark Walters noted dark midden-stained sediments in gopher mounds ca. 8-15 m west of the 4-5 m wide right-of-way (ca. N189 E184 on the 41AN38 right-of-way grid) but on private property. Since no midden deposits had been identified (and were never identified) in the SH 155 right-of-way, despite extensive excavations, we felt it was important as part of a better and broader understanding of the archeological record at the Lang Pasture site (41AN38) to investigate the midden to establish its content, age, and overall extent. Permission was obtained from the private landowner, Mr. Earl Lang, to carry out a limited amount of work, and this work was done in March 2006. This article presents the results of the archeological investigations at these prehistoric Caddo midden deposits.

The 14th century Caddo Leaning Rock site was initially discovered in the Fall of 2004. It was located during reconnaissance to search out a location for the survey portion of the Texas Archeologica! Society's Academy IO I held in Tyler in February 2005. This was not a formal survey with transect lines. nor one using regularly spaced shovel tests. but was rather more of a "windshield"' type survey, consisting of driving across pasture lands looking at gopher mounds and checking fore, evidence of archeological deposits on likely looking landforms.

!n this area. landform and soil type seem to be the major determining factors in locating Caddo sites. The sandy soils in the scattered gopher mounds appeared almost white. especially in droughty conditions that prevailed at the time. causing an area with darker mounds of soil to catch my attention. Pocket gophers (G. breviceps) can play havoc with buried archeological deposits but can also be useful in bringing buried soils along with archeological materials to the surface from their underground tunnel system. While this dark area could have been the result of past historic land clearing and burning activities. a closer inspection revealed burned bone. mussel she!L and Caddo sherds mixed in the dark brown soils in the scattered gopher mounds.

The next step was to record the site with the State of Texas, obtaining the trinomial 41SM325. It is common practice to also gin: sites informal names and after recording several hundred sites, selecting a name becomes a challenge. One large sandstone slab, pan of the R-horizon that is exposed around the margins of Leaning Rock. was unearthed during prior landclearing activities and pushed up against a lonely pine tree on the northern margins of the site: consequently the nom de plume "Leaning Rock."
An Ancestral Caddo Site (41CS125) on the Sulphur River at Lake Wright Patman, Cass County, Texas

Published: March 2019

ln December 2017, AmaTerra Environmental lnc. conducted an intensive archeological survey of 41CS125, a previously reported ancestral Caddo site at Lake Wright Patman in Cass County, Texas. The work was done at the request of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District in advance of a proposed bank stabilization pro}ect. The site was occupied from the Late Paleoindian period through historic times with extensive occupations during the Formative to Early Caddo and Late Caddo periods. Artifacts recovered in the investigations included both arrow and dart points, lithic debitage, bifaces, ground stone, a celt fragment, pitted stone, ceramic sherds, a ceramic bead, charred organic material, unidentified bone fragments, and 19th century historic domestic materials. While the site has been adversely affected through alluvial erosion and looting, survey results indicate that intact components of the site still exist along the northern and western periphery of the landform.
Current Research: Building a Corpus of Crockett Curvilinear Incised Vessels
Authors: McKinnon Duncan
Published: March 2019

As presented in an earlier report (McKinnon 2018), I have been compiling, with the help of several Caddo researchers, a comprehensive multi-state database of Caddo vessels (now close to 15,000). The on-going goal is to evaluate landscape scale social interactions and interregional relationships using this growing ceramic database. Some initial explorations have been productive in evaluating relationships between proposed Caddo communities (archaeological phases) and I suggest that these exercises have offered insights into Caddo interaction, identity, and ideological exchange in a visual and (continually) comprehensive way (McKinnon 2011, 2016).
THE RESOLUTION OF SOCIAL CONFLICT IN THE NATIONAL CONSTITUTION AND ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVES: Integrating Formal and Non-Formal Approaches
Authors: Hanafi Yusuf , Thoriquttyas Titis
Published: March 2019

Abstract: Social conflict resolution is often viewed as a complex matter. Thus, a non-formal approach is needed to complement the formal approach of Law No.7 of 2012 that was legalized by The House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia several years ago. It is not uncommon for non-formal conflict resolution to be more effective since it has a broader acceptance in society. A non-formal approach does not mean to undermine the existing laws; it can even complement it and become an alternative solution when the formal approach does not work. This study aims to describe the model of social conflict resolution based on Law No.7 of 2012 and the Quran as a comprehensive combination in resolving social conflict through a formal and non-formal approach. This study discusses that the Quran has a unique formula in resolving social conflicts by emphasizing the principal of kindness to prevent conflicts and implementing justice as a resolution to conflicts.الملخص: معالجة النـزاع الاجتماعي كثيرا ما يكون أمرا صَعْباً تدوْرُ حوله أبعادٌ معقَّدَةٌ, وهناك حاجّةٌ ماسّةٌ لمعالجتِه من النّهج غير الرسميّ بجانب النهج الرسميّ الّذي قرَّرَه مجلسُ النّواب الشعبي بواسطة القانون رقم 7 سنة 2012 عدة سنوات ماضية, إذْ قد يكون النهج غير الرسميّ أكثَرَ فعاليةً وقبولًا لدى المجتمع في معالجة النـزاع الاجتماعي. وهذا النوع من النهج لا يعني إلغاء القانون الوطني الرسمي, بل يسُدُّه ويكمِّلُهُ —خصوصا إذا كان هناك عواعِقُ تعوقُ دون نجاح. تستهْدِفُ هذه المقالَةُ إلى وصف النماذج في معالجة النـزاع الاجتماعي من وجهة نظر القانون رقم 7 سنة 2012 ووجهة نظر الإسلام, رجاءً الحصول على النموذج المثالي المتكامل لهذه القضية. تصف هذه المقالة أن للقرآن صيغة خاصة متميزة في معالجة النـزاع الاجتماعي, وهو تأييد "اللطف لمنع النزاع" وتطبيق "العدل كحل للصراع"Abstrak: Penanganan konflik sosial seringkali berdimensi kompleks. Oleh karena itu, perlu diupayakan penyelesaian konflik dengan pendekatan non-formal, di samping pendekatan formal melalui Undang-Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2012 yang disahkan oleh Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat (DPR) Republik Indonesia beberapa waktu silam. Tidak jarang, penanganan konflik secara non-formal justru lebih efektif karena mempunyai level keberterimaan yang lebih luas dan tinggi di tengah masyarakat. Pendekatan non-formal ini tidak dimaksudkan untuk mengesampingkan undang-undang yang telah diberlakukan itu, tetapi justru melengkapinya sekaligus menjadi alternatif solusi jika pendekatan formal mengalami kebuntuan. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan model penanganan konflik sosial menurut UU Nomor 7 Tahun 2012 dan Al-Qur’an, sebagai kombinasi penanganan konflik sosial yang komprehensif, baik melalui jalur formal maupun non-formal. Tulisan ini akan memaparkan bahwa Al-Qur’an memiliki formula penanganan konflik sosial yang unik dan khas, yakni penekanan prinsip kebaikan sebagai prevensi konflik, dan penerapan prinsip keadilan sebagai resolusi konflik.
INTRA-RELIGIOUS DIALOGUE IN POST-SECTARIAN VIOLENCE: Assessing Sampang Sunni-Shiite Relation in Indonesia
Authors: Ali Fiqh Vredian Aulia
Published: March 2019

Abstract : While there were various studies about Sampang Shiites which explore violence, exclusion, and conflict, the study analyzing intra-religious dialogue initiative and assessing the impact of it in enhancing Sunni-Shiite resolution in post-sectarian violence in Sampang, East Java, remains understudied. For this, I use Reina Neufeldt’s framework (2011) on “the theory of change” in interfaith dialogue and employs qualitative inquiry by conducting observation, interview, and documentation. This study argues that the inability of returning Sampang Shiite to their home is in line with insufficiencies of intra-religious dialog initiatives in dealing with Sunni-Shiite antagonism theologically, facilitating reconciliation politically, and intensifying civic engagement culturally to restore social and intersect relation. However, there is a hope of peace from intersecting grassroots reconciliation between the former perpetrators and victims by “the People Peace Charter” that significantly decreased Sunni-Shiite antagonism and segregation.الملخص: على الرغم من وجود العديد من الدراسات حول سامبانج الشيعية التي تستكشف العنف والاستبعاد والنزاع ، فإن الدراسات التي تحلل مبادرات الحوار بين الأعراق وتقييم تأثيرها على تحسين حل السني و الشيعي بعد العنف الطائفي في سامبانغ ، جاوة شرق ، لم تدرس. لهذا، استخدم أطر رينا نيوفلد (2011) عن "نظرية التغيير" في الحوار بين الأديان وباستخدام نهج نوعي للمراقبة، والمقابلات، والوثائق. وترى هذه الدراسة أن العقبات سامبانغ الشيعة يعود إلى قريتهم وفقا لمبادرة الحوار قيود بين الاديان في تعامل العداء بين السني والشيعي لاهوتيا، وتسهيل المصالحة السياسية وبناء السلام وتكثيف لاستعادة الربط بين طائفة الاجتماعي. ومع ذلك، هناك توقعات المصالحة الشعبية بين الجناة والضحايا السابقين ب "ميثاق السلام للشعوب" التي تعيد التفرقة والعداء بين السنة والشيعة.Abstrak: Meskipun ada berbagai studi tentang Syiah Sampang yang mengeksplorasi kekerasan, eksklusi, dan konflik, studi yang menganalisis inisiatif dialog antarsekte dan menilai dampaknya dalam meningkatkan resolusi Sunni-Syiah pasca kekerasan sektarian di Sampang, Jawa Timur, masih belum dikaji. Untuk ini, saya menggunakan kerangka kerja Reina Neufeldt (2011) tentang “teori perubahan” dalam dialog antaragama dan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Studi ini berargumen bahwa kendala mengembalikan Syiah Sampang ke kampung halaman mereka sejalan dengan keterbatasan inisiatif dialog intrareligious dalam menangani antagonisme Sunni-Syiah secara teologis, memfasilitasi rekonsiliasi secara politis, dan mengintensifkan bina-damai secara kultural untuk mengembalikan pertalian antar-sekte. Namun, ada harapan dari rekonsiliasi akar-rumput antara para mantan pelaku dan korban dengan “Piagam Perdamaian Rakyat” yang secara signifikan mengurangi segregasi dan antagonisme Sunni-Syiah.
Efficient History Matching Using the Markov-Chain Monte Carlo Method by Means of the Transformed Adaptive Stochastic Collocation Method
Authors: Liao Qinzhuo , Zeng Lingzao , Chang Haibin , Zhang Dongxiao
Published: February 2019

Bayesian inference provides a convenient framework for history matching and prediction. In this framework, prior knowledge, system nonlinearity, and measurement errors can be directly incorporated into the posterior distribution of the parameters. The Markov-chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method is a powerful tool to generate samples from the posterior distribution. However, the MCMC method usually requires a large number of forward simulations. Hence, it can be a computationally intensive task, particularly when dealing with large-scale flow and transport models.

To address this issue, we construct a surrogate system for the model outputs in the form of polynomials using the stochastic collocation method (SCM). In addition, we use interpolation with the nested sparse grids and adaptively take into account the different importance of parameters for high-dimensional problems. Furthermore, we introduce an additional transform process to improve the accuracy of the surrogate model in case of strong nonlinearities, such as a discontinuous or unsmooth relation between the input parameters and the output responses. Once the surrogate system is built, we can evaluate the likelihood with little computational cost. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed method can efficiently estimate the posterior statistics of input parameters and provide accurate results for history matching and prediction of the observed data with a moderate number of parameters.

Purpose: to present different modalities of biliary decompression and specific antitumor treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma (Klatkin tumor). material and methods. The review was based on 318 publications available from Pubmed, Medline, Elibrary, etc. in the interval time between 19212018. results. Hilar cholangiocarcinoma is a rare hepatobiliary malignancy with dismal prognosis demonstrating slow periductal infiltrative growth, late metastasis and causing death mainly due to local complications. Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) is the optimal way of biliary decompression for malignant hilar strictures nowadays. PTBD is the safest, technically accessible technique with reproducible results. Transpapillary decompression in Klatskin tumor patients is technically feasible in 40 % of cases only. Biliary resection accompanied by major hepatectomy is considered the only curative modality to the date, but its results aren’t satisfactory a well as the majority of patients aren’t seemed the surgical candidates. Thus the locoregional technologies, i.e. radiation therapy, radiofrequency ablation and photodynamic therapy (PDT), are widely spread. PDT should be preferred over other local modalities due to safety, efficiency, possibility of reinterventions, technical and economic accessibility. conclusion. Modern approaches to the management of Klatskin tumor do not differ much from the those proposed by the first researchers in the middle of the xxth century and comes down to the biliary stricture dilatation and the sustenance of the normal bile passage as long as possible. However, despite the strategic stagnation, significant tactical successes were achieved thus allowing significant prolongation of survival in previously considered incurable patients.
