Los modelos de regresión aleatoria (MRA) son utilizados para estudiar las curvas de lactancia individuales como desvíos de la media, mediante el uso de polinomios ordinarios de funciones lineales. Fueron analizados 5.386 registros para La PDC de 1.546 primeras lactancias de búfalas mestizas, hijas de 30 toros y 446 búfalas, entre 1998 y 2005. Los componentes de varianza fueron estimados utilizando el paquete estadístico WOMBAT. El modelo incluyó como aleatorios los efectos genéticos aditivo y de ambiente permanente, como efectos fijos los grupos contemporáneos (mes y año del control) y edad de la búfala al parto (efecto lineal y cuadrático). Las varianzas residuales fueron modeladas utilizando clases de varianza con 4 clases residuales. Los resultados de los criterios de información de Akaike y de Bayesiano de Schwarz, sugirieron que el modelo que considero el 7 orden del polinomio de Legendre para el efecto aditivo y el 6 orden polinomial para el efecto de ambiente permanente fue el mejor. Las heredabilidades variaron desde 0,10 hasta 0,33 a lo largo de la lactancia. En conclusión, los MRA son apropiados para estudiar la curva de lactancia en búfalos lecheros en este rebaño.

El chigüiro es autóctono del continente americano; en Colombia se encuentran dos especies: Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris, con distribución en los Llanos Orientales de Colombia y Amazonas colombiano (también distribuido en Argentina, Paraguay, Ecuador, Venezuela, Brasil, Perú, Bolivia, las Guyanas); e Hydrochoerus isthmius, que habita al norte de Colombia, Panamá y Venezuela, aislada por los Andes de Mérida y la Serranía del Perijá. Este estudio buscó conocer el área de acción de H. isthmius, en paisajes ganaderos de Córdoba, al noroccidente de Colombia. Durante el período de marzo y mayo de 2007, dentro de predios ganaderos del municipio de Valencia, departamento de Córdoba, Colombia, se realizaron trabajos de seguimiento a individuos de dos grupos de una población de chigüiros. Se utilizó la técnica de radio-seguimiento usando cuatro animales previamente radio-marcados. Se encontró que el área de acción de H. isthmius en paisajes de ganadería extensiva de Valencia, presenta una mayor área de acción durante la época seca (1,93±0,88 ha), comparada con la época de lluvias (0,47±0,32 ha) en contraste con áreas de acción descritos en otros trabajos de H. hydrochaeris con reportes de áreas de uso que varían desde 5,5±10,8 ha hasta 44 (10-56) ha, H. isthmius presenta áreas de acción más pequeños (1,20±1,0 ha).

Published: May 2018

El mercurio (Hg) es considerado un contaminante global por su alta toxicidad y características fisicoquímicas que le permiten trasportarse a los diferentes compartimientos ambientales, bioacumularse y biomagnificarse en la cadena trófica. Existen numerosos sitios contaminados por mercurio entre el norte de Antioquia y el Sur de Bolívar debido a la explotación aurífera, en ellos viven mineros y sus familias, quienes consumen cantidades considerables de animales domésticos como gallinas, cerdos y patos, por lo que esta investigación tuvo por objeto evaluar la concentración de mercurio presente en animales domésticos en Mina Santa Cruz, Sur de Bolívar. Se tomaron 146 muestras biológicas procedentes del sitio de estudio, distribuidas en 39 muestras de pelo de Sus scrofa (cerdo) y 107 muestras de pluma, 91 en Gallus gallus (gallina) y 16 en Cairina moschata (pato); asimismo, se tomó un grupo de comparación en zona rural del municipio de Sincelejo de 10 individuos de las mismas especies, que no estaban expuestos al metal por actividades mineras y se determinó la concentración de mercurio total (HgT) por espectrofotometría de absorción atómica por vapor frío. Las concentraciones más altas de HgT se observaron en Sus scrofa, (8156,9 ± 882,2 ng/g peso seco), seguido de Gallus gallus (3391,9 ± 639,5 ng/g peso seco) y Cairina moschata (1426,5 ± 263,9 ng/g peso seco). El consumo de patos, gallinas y cerdos establecidos en Mina Santa Cruz, representan un riesgo importante a la salud pública, debido a las altas concentraciones acumuladas en sus organismos.

Published: May 2018

Del género Tropidophis Cocteau y Bibron, 1843, en la subregión antillana existen 27 especies, de las cuales 16 son cubanas, todas endémicas. El Sistema Nacional de Áreas Protegidas en Cuba (SNAP) comprende 211 áreas protegidas, caracterizadas en el Plan del Sistema Período de 2014-2020. El objetivo de este trabajo es verificar cuáles especies del género Tropidophis se encuentran cubiertas por el SNAP, como una de las vías para su conservación. Se revisó la literatura para determinar la distribución geográfica, así como se chequearon los ejemplares de colecciones cubanas y del mundo, con el mismo fin. Cada localidad fue georeferenciada e incluida como una capa en el Sistema de Información Geográfica Mapinfo 6.5, el cual contiene una capa con los límites actualizados de las áreas protegidas. Sobre esta información se determinó que una especie está cubierta por el SNAP si, al menos, una de sus localidades se encuentra en alguna de las 211 áreas protegidas. Se encontró que solo dos especies no cumplen con este precepto. Debido a que algunas especies son locales y otras tienen distribución geográfica limitada a pocas localidades, todas ellas están incluidas en el Apéndice II de la CITES y en el Apéndice I de la Resolución 160 de 2011 del Ministro de Ciencia, Tecnología y Medio Ambiente y 11 fueron categorizadas en el Libro Rojo de los Vertebrados de Cuba. Por tanto, estas especies se deben tener en cuenta en los planes de manejo y conservación de las áreas protegidas de Cuba.

Published: May 2018

Con el fin de contribuir a la búsqueda de estrategias nutricionales y mejorar la ganancia de peso de terneros en los sistemas pecuarios, se evaluó el comportamiento productivo de terneros lactantes suplementados en un sistema doble propósito. Se utilizaron 40 terneros (20 hembras y 20 machos), de 1 a 30 días de edad y con pesos promedios de 26,5±3,08 kg, los cuales fueron sometidos al manejo de semiconfinamiento y suplementados con una mezcla alimenticia basada en torta de algodón y maíz molido en proporciones de 1:1, así como la administración de heno a voluntad (grupo tratado) y se compararon con un grupo similar sin suplementar (grupo control), durante 270 días, principalmente en época de lluvias. Los animales suplementados se destetaron con un peso ajustado a los 270 días de 170 kg., y una ganancia de peso de 531 g/animal/día, siendo mayor a los encontrados en el tratamiento control. La ganancia de peso de las crías lactantes manejadas en semiconfinamiento fue afectada de manera significa por la suplementación (p<0.05), siendo en las crías suplementadas la ganancia diaria de peso 120,3% superior a las crías no suplementadas, esto puede deberse al aporte de nutrientes de alta digestibilidad por parte del suplemento y al mayor estimulo en el desarrollo del aparato digestivo. El sexo de las crías no afectó la ganancia diaria de peso de los terneros dentro de cada tratamiento (p>0.05). La estrategia suplementar propuesta demostró ser técnica, biológica y económicamente viable en terneros lactantes tipo doble propósito.

THE INFLUENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL SUPERVISORY AGENCIES ON ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION DISCLOSURE IN NIGERIA
Authors: HALADU Alhassan , SALIM Basariah BT.
Published: May 2018

Purpose: - Environmental reporting based on triple bottom line (TBL) reporting consists of three basic elements of profit, people and planet depicting economic, social and environmental information respectively. Past studies have tend to examine the relationships between these three collectively and other variables, especially corporate characteristics. Of greater concern to environmentalists however, is the dissemination of environmental information, which has been greatly ignored. This study is, therefore, an attempt to examine exclusively the relationship between pure environmental information disclosure and environmental monitoring agencies. Methodology: - Using environmentally sensitive firms operating in Nigeria, the study employed content analysis and regression to determine the relationship covering the period 2009-2014. Findings: - It concluded that both significant positive and negative relationships exists between environmental reporting and monitoring agencies. Research Implications: - This shows that while Nigerian Stock Exchange contributes positively to environmental information disclosure, Department of Petroleum Resources and National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency are having a negative impact on environmental information dissemination. Practical Implications: - There is a clear indication that the Department of Petroleum Resources and National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency are inefficient/ineffective. Originality/ Value: - The lack of treating environmental information dissemination independently from other elements of sustainability is what this study capitalized on. Furthermore, studying the influence of environmental monitoring agencies (NSE, DPR and NESREA) on environmental reporting is mostly overlooked by scholars.

INFLUENCE OF TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP ON KNOWLEDGE HIDING: MEDIATING ROLE OF ORGANIZATIONAL PSYCHOLOGICAL OWNERSHIP: A PROPOSED FRAMEWORK
Authors: LADAN Sahnun , BINTI NORDIN Norani , BELAL H. M.
Published: May 2018

Purpose: Research on knowledge hiding behavior among employees in organizational is still in its infancy and remains scarce despite its prevalence and negative impact as reported by previous studies. Some of the possible suggested antecedents of knowledge hiding studied include trust, job characteristic, organizational culture, and work environment. Despite these studies, few have attempted to investigate the influence of transformational leadership on knowledge hiding behavior. Furthermore, the mechanisms through which transformational leadership influences on knowledge hiding behavior in organizations are not adequately investigated. Therefore, mediator variable is proposed. Findings: Based on transformational leadership theory and psychological ownership theory, this paper proposes that the relationship between transformational leadership and knowledge hiding behavior of employees in the organization could be mediated by organizational psychological ownership. Implications: Thereby the organization would contain employees that are motivated and behave positively towards organizational performance.

THE URGENCY OF CHILD EMPOWERMENT IN DEVELOPING A COMMUNITY-BASED TOURISM IN KAMPUNG WARNA-WARNI OF EAST JAVA INDONESIA
Authors: SARI Nurul Ratna
Published: May 2018

This paper is an evaluation study of a Community-Based Tourism (CBT) project in Kampung Warna-Warni in East Java, Indonesia. Kampung Warna-Warni was one of slum residential areas along a river bank. A partnership between university students, a paint company, art communities, local government, and local community have successfully established the Kampung as one of the attractive and well-known tourism objects in East Java. Related to it, child empowerment emerges as one of the most pertinent aspects in developing a community-based tourism. This case study indicates some impacts in turning a slum residential into a potential tourism object in children’s lives. The research data were collected through in-depth interviews and site observation in order to examine the implementation of CBT and health promotion program which are relevant to child empowerment in the area. This paper reports the interviews’ results with some respondents, namely health promoters, opinion leaders, local communities, and visitors. It is revealed that CBT project significantly influences the community’s circumstances. The project has improved community environmental and economic aspects, yet neglected child empowerment. Altering a slum residential into a tourism object requires a community empowerment and adaptation process, particularly for children, because it potentially affects their development. The findings provide some insights for governments and relevant stakeholders to implement an effective and empowering policy for child health development program and community-based tourism.

Felix Frankfurter and the Law
Authors: Halper Thomas
Published: May 2018

Felix Frankfurter, renowned as a public intellectual fighting for justice, became as a member of the Supreme Court a figure proclaiming his devotion to the rule of law and its corollary, judicial self restraint, even when its results conflicted with his deepest beliefs. Yet an analysis of several of his leading opinions suggests that his famous balancing tests had little to do with law. In sacrificing his policy and ethical goals in the service of law, he often failed to serve the law, and in that sense, his well publicized sacrifices were for nothing.
The Holmes Truth: Toward a Pragmatic, Holmes-Influenced Conceptualization of the Nature of Truth
Authors: Schroeder Jared
Published: May 2018

Truth as a fundamental ingredient within the flow of discourse and the application of freedom of expression in democratic society has historically received considerable attention from the U.S. Supreme Court. Many of the Court’s central precedents regarding First Amendment concerns have been determined by how justices have understood truth and how they have conceptualized the complex relationship truth and falsity share. Despite the attention truth has received, however, the Court has not provided a consistent understanding of its meaning. For these reasons, this article examines how the Supreme Court has conceptualized truth in freedom-of-expression cases, ultimately drawing upon the results of that analysis, as well as pragmatic approaches to philosophy, the so called “pragmatic method” put forth by American philosopher William James, to propose a unifying conceptualization of truth that could be employed to help the Court provide consistency within its precedents regarding the meaning of a concept that has been central to the Court’s interpretation of the First Amendment since, in many ways, another pragmatist and friend of James’s, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, substantially addressed truth in his dissent in Abrams v. United States. The article concludes by proposing that the courts conceptualize the nature of truth via three substantially related understandings: that truth is a process, that it is experience-funded, and that it is not absolute and is best approached without prejudice. Each of the three ingredients relates, at least to some extent, with thematic understandings put forth by the Court in previous freedom-of-expression cases, and therefore does not represent a significant departure from justices’ traditional approaches to truth. The model, most ideally, does seek, with the help of pragmatic thought and ideas put forth by Justice Holmes, to encourage consistent recognition of certain principles regarding truth as justices go about considering its nature in First Amendment cases.

A fundamental question in peptide folding/unfolding is how the peptide fleets through a set of transition states which dominate the dynamics of biomolecular folding path. Owing to their rapid duration and sub-nm structure difference, however, they have always been oversimplified because of limited instrumental resolution.1-3 Moreover, the most experiments indicate a single fold pathway while the simulations suggest peptides owns the preference in multiple pathways. Using the electrochemical confined effect of a solid-state nanopore, we measured the multiple transit paths of peptide inside nanopores. Combining with Markov chain modelling, this new single-molecule technique is applied to clarify the 5 transition paths of the β-hairpin peptide which shows 4 nonequilibrium fluctuating stages. These results enable experimental access to previously obscured peptide dynamics which are essential to understand the misfolding in peptides. The statistical analysis of each peptide from high throughput shows that 78.5% of the peptide adopts the Pathways I during their folding/unfolding in a nanopore while 21.5% of the peptide undergoes the hidden folding/unfolding of transit Pathways II-IV. The frequency of the ionic fluctuation reveals a harmonic structure difference of the metastable peptide. Our results suggest the folding/unfolding of β-hairpin undergo four major structure vibrations which agree well with the theoretical expectation. These measurements provide a first look at the critical experiment picture of the mechanical folding/unfolding of a peptide, opening exciting avenues for the high throughput investigation of transition paths.
Register: de la realización a la activación

Published: May 2018

Este artículo presenta el proceso de realización y activación del proyecto multimedia Register, que aborda la discontinuidad entre la inmediatez orgánica de la vida y el mundo simbólico mediante tecnologías intervenidas. Para ello, se emplearon tecnologías libres y abiertas formadas por dos sistemas interactivos de registro. Con ello, se generó una instalación formada por diferentes ambientes, donde dos artistas se encuentran inmersos en labores de recolección, clasificación y ficción, empleando diversos géneros, lenguajes y medios, como live art, new media performance y sound design, entre otros. El usuario se enfrenta a la construcción técnica manipulada de su propia imagen y a una experiencia estética donde se posiciona como espectador y es material fundamental e involuntario de la obra. Así, Register devela el proceso de construcción de la realidad mediada por imágenes esterotipadas en la cultura contemporánea.
Arpilleras de Wellington: los hilos de la memoria, un allá cercano y un pasado contemporáneo
Authors: Galarza Maite
Published: May 2018

Este texto plantea una reflexión en torno a la práctica creativa de las Arpilleras de Wellington, un colectivo de mujeres arpilleristas latinoamericanas migrantes en Aotearoa Nueva Zelanda. La práctica de las arpilleristas es entendida desde dos ejes, por un lado, el carácter ético y político de las intervenciones del grupo en ámbitos relacionados con el arte, la academia y la comunidad; y por otro lado, desde la noción de contemporaneidad, asumiendo como punto de partida las preguntas de Giorgio Agamben “¿De quién y de qué cosa somos contemporáneos? Y, sobre todo, ¿qué significa ser contemporáneo?”

Published: May 2018

In June 2017, a decree-law to increase the number of mandatory vaccinations from 4 to 10 for minors up to 16-years-old was issued in Italy. The vaccination coverage for 2017 showed a positive impact for all the vaccines, particularly for the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine at 91.6% for the year 2017, showing a 4.4% increase compared with 2016 (87.2%). Continued monitoring is needed to evaluate the medium to long-term effects of the law.
BioRobotics: Surveillance and the automation of biological life
Authors: Schaeffer Felicity Amaya
Published: May 2018

New developments in state surveillance technologies and Biorobotics at Harvard University turn to nature, such as bees, with the goal of automating border control, labor, and to fill the vacuum of disappeared pollinating bees.  The turn to insects for use in Automated Intelligence (AI) relies on a racialized understanding of biology, and the body rather than the brain, as the mechanism for automated intelligence with consequences for revitalizing binary notions of primitive from rational intelligence, stripping humans as well as historical and social context from the violent causes and consequences of border governance, automated labor, and ecological disaster.
Building Data Science Capabilities into University Data Warehouse to Predict Graduation

Published: May 2018

The discipline of data science emerged to combine statistical methods with computing. At Aalto University, Finland, we have taken first steps to bring educational data science as a part of daily operations of Management Information Services. This required changes in IT environment: we enhanced data warehouse infrastructure with a data science lab, where we can read predictive model training data from data warehouse database and use the created predictive models in database queries. We then conducted a data science pilot with an objective to predict students’ graduation probability and time-to-degree with student registry data. Further ethical and legal considerations are needed before using predictions in daily operations of the university.
Specifying and Verbalising Answer Set Programs in Controlled Natural Language
Authors: Schwitter Rolf
Published: May 2018

We show how a bi-directional grammar can be used to specify and verbalise answer set programs in controlled natural language. We start from a program specification in controlled natural language and translate this specification automatically into an executable answer set program. The resulting answer set program can be modified following certain naming conventions and the revised version of the program can then be verbalised in the same subset of natural language that was used as specification language. The bi-directional grammar is parametrised for processing and generation, deals with referring expressions, and exploits symmetries in the data structure of the grammar rules whenever these grammar rules need to be duplicated. We demonstrate that verbalisation requires sentence planning in order to aggregate similar structures with the aim to improve the readability of the generated specification. Without modifications, the generated specification is always semantically equivalent to the original one; our bi-directional grammar is the first one that allows for semantic round-tripping in the context of controlled natural language processing.

Published: May 2018

Dalam industri pembuatan busana, proses pembuatan pola busana secara manual akan membutuhkan waktu lama dan memerlukan keahlian pembuatan pola, sehingga mempengaruhi waktu dan biaya produksi. Pada industri skala besar, pembuatan pola busana dilakukan secara otomatis menggunakan teknologi modern. Tetapi teknik ini membutuhkan alat canggih yang mahal. Terlebih lagi, pemanfaatan teknik tersebut belum dapat melakukan variasi mengenai detail busana yang akan dibuat seperti variasi jenis kerah, variasi jenis lengan, variasi jenis rok, celana dan sebagainya. Pada penelitian ini diusulkan sebuah sistem pembuatan pola busana secara otomatis menggunakan garis dan kurva b-spline. Kelebihan dari sistem ini mampu untuk membuat pola busana beserta variasi detailnya. Di samping itu, pemakai juga dapat membuat pola tanpa harus memiliki keahlian dalam pembuatan pola. Secara umum, pembuatan pola busana dibagi menjadi empat tahap, yaitu pemilihan jenis busana, variasi detail desain busana, pengaturan ukuran busana, dan pembuatan pola busana. Hasil prosentase kemiripan pola yang dihasilkan sistem dengan data benarnya sebesar 59% Sangat Mirip, 28% Mirip, 11% Kurang Mirip, dan 2% Tidak Mirip. Dengan adanya sistem ini, pembuatan pola busana menjadi lebih cepat dengan biaya yang lebih terjangkau jika dibandingkan dengan alat-alat penggambar pola yang sudah ada.

Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk melihat kecendrungan penyakit yang ditimbulkan akibat pola hidup yang tidak sehat pada masyarakat tertinggal dan pesisir desa-desa sekitar kabupaten Gresik dan Tuban dengan menggunakan algoritma hybrid melalui konstruksi struktur Bayesian Network. Masalah yang akan diselesaikan pada penelitian ini adalah belum ada system yang mampu mendeteksi hubungan antara perilaku hidup tidak sehat dengan penyakit yang di timbulkan. Model struktur ini belum pernah diaplikasikan secara langsung di lapangan untuk mendeteksi suatu kejadian sebab akibat misalnya jika suatu perilaku itu tidak sehat maka akan timbul suatu penyakit. Pengaplikasian model ini perlu dilakukan dengan suatu studi lapangan untuk mengetahui dan membuktikan manfaat yang sebenarnya dari konsep konstruksi struktur hybrid bayesian network. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menghasilkan model perangkat lunak yang mampu mendeteksi dini kecenderungan resiko penyakit masyarakat desa tertinggal dan pesisir yang memiliki pola hidup tidak sehat dalam bentuk konstruksi struktur dan menghasilkan probabilitas nilai dengan cendrungan penyakit. Hasil perbandingan antara struktur asal dengan struktur hasil uji coba menunjukan tingkat kecocokan untuk data uji lengkap selisih 10% dengan struktur aslinya, dan tingkat kecocokan untuk data uji tidak lengkap sebesar lebih dari 20% tergantung jumlah missing value nya. Validitas bahwa orang merokok akan mengalami kecendrungan punya penyakit Tuberculosis, Bronkitis atau Lung cancer melalui uji system adalah 80% sampai 90%.
