Published: January 2017

We present the structure and first results of the "Thales" project on site classification in Greece. The aim of the project is twofold: to develop and present a methodology for the characterization and classification of site conditions based on their geological, geomorphological and geophysical characteristics and to apply the proposed methodology to case studies in Greece, including the urban areas of Xanthi, Edessa and Grevena. In particular, the units described on a surficial geological map will be correlated to shear-wave velocity data, corresponding to the upper 30m (Vs30) of the soil column, aiming to produce first order maps to help practitioners and provide the tools to realistically predict ground motions triggered by an earthquake. The classification will be based on information provided by borehole logs, where velocity profiles were measured and will be validated using the three case studies. The outcome of the project will be usable by national agencies and decision makers for urban planning.
Correlation between mechanical and petrographic parameters of sandstones.
Authors: Ktena St. , Sabatakakis N.
Published: January 2017

Sandstone intact rock specimens are tested to study their point loading strength, while the microscopic properties of the tested specimens are analyzed in thin sections to determine the mineral composition, grain size, cement and contact modes between grains. The intrinsic influence of petrographic characteristics on measured strength is evaluated using regression analysis among the obtained laboratory data.
Applicability of the "Lefka Ori" Western Crete region "GeoFactors" Interaction Matrix (GFIM) as a key to understanding the engineering geological condtions
Authors: Pavlaki A. , Meladiotis I. , Pavlakis P.
Published: January 2017

The results of extensive and long-lasting investigations on various geofactors in the "Lefka Ori - Chania" W.Crete region revealed the major role of their interaction in the engineering geological conditions’ formation. The investigated region has a specific scientific interest due to its admirable geoenvironment which is governed by an active geodynamic regime and affects the active development of all the geofactors. It also shows a rapid growth, which evolves into a fragile balance with the valuable geoenvironment thus the vision of its aeiforos development in the future, needs, among others, the wide recognition of its engineering geological conditions. The methodology was based on multidisciplinary and thorough research studies utilizing qualitative & quantitative analysis of various geofactors. The results, which are depicted on new geothematic maps, prove that these geofactors are the product of parallel progressive and interactive evolutions in an environment dominated by an active geodynamic regime, where the corresponding stress field affects in a catalytic way to many geo-developments. Besides this, a great number of striking geo-structures have been revealed, characterizing the investigated area of "Lefka Ori - Chania", as a globally unique Natural Geological Laboratory. The GeoFactors’ Interaction is represented graphically on a Matrix form creation, called then "Lefka Ori Western Crete GFIM". This matrix can serve us, as a useful scientific tool, for the investigated area’s engineering geological conditions’ recognition and we propose its application to relevant research studies.
Along-strike variations in the Hellenide Anatolide orogen: A tale of different lithospheres and consequences
Authors: Ring U. , Gessner K. , Thomson S. , Markwitz V.
Published: January 2017

Structure and exhumation history of the Hellenide-Anatolide Orogen in the Aegean Sea region and the adjacent Anatolian peninsula is controlled by along-strike variations of pre-Alpine palaeogeography. In the Hellenides, Mesozoic extension created ribbon-like continental fragments of thinned and dense lithosphere that pinch out eastwards. In the east, the relatively large Anatolide microcontinent mostly escaped Mesozoic extension and lithospheric thinning, presumably because it had a distinctly different, thicker and more depleted lithosphere. In the Aegean transect these alongstrike differences in lithosphere structure ultimately resulted in sustained highpressure metamorphism followed by progressive slab retreat since about 60 Ma. Further east, collision of the Anatolide microcontinent at about 42 Ma formed a south verging greenschist-facies thrust-and-fold belt. Pronounced slab retreat in the Aegean forced differential extension resulting in a broad sinistral wrench corridor that started to from at 24-23 Ma. Since then, extension in both regions mainly controlled denudation. This review highlights how differences in pre-orogenic architecture control lithospheric thickening and the subsequent exhumation of high-pressure rocks, and how large-scale continental extension evolves
Groundwater quality of the coastal aquifers in the eastern part of Thermaikos Gulf (from Aggelochori to Kallikrateia)
Authors: Pavlou A. , Soulios G. , Dimopoulos D. , Tsokas G. , Mattas C. , Kazakis N. , Voudouris K.
Published: January 2017

The study area is located in the coastal area of the eastern Thermaikos Gulf, covering an area of 252 km2. The area is characterised by intense agricultural activity, and during the past few years it has undergone considerable residential development. From a geological point of view, the area consists of Quaternary alluvial coastal deposits, river terraces and Neogene deposits (marly limestones and sandstone- marl series). The bedrock formations are Jurassic limestone and Mesozoic granite. The main aquifer system is developed within the sand, gravel, and sandstone layers of the Quaternary deposits as well as within the sandstone-marl series. This paper investigates the relationship between the groundwater quality and groundwater level. Groundwater sampling and water level measurements took place in April and September 2010. The results of chemical analyses indicate degradation of the groundwater quality. The sources of the groundwater pollution are seawater intrusion due to the overexploitation of the coastal aquifers, fertilizers from the agricultural activities and the disposal of untreated wastewater in torrents.
STUDYING IN THE PAXOS ZONE THE CARBONATE DEPOSITIONAL ENVIRONMENT CHANGES DURING UPPER CRETACEOUS, IN SAMI AREA OF KEFALLINIA ISLAND, GREECE
Authors: Zoumpoulis E. , Pomoni-Papaioannou F. , Zelilidis A.
Published: January 2017

The shallow-marine carbonate sequence of Sami (Kefallinia isl. Fig. 1) is a part of the Upper Cretaceous carbonate platform of the Paxi zone. Detailed lithostratigraphic and microfacies analysis of that sequence revealed clear periodicities and cyclicity. The high-resolution stratigraphic analysis has shown a number of lithofacies organized in groups (lithofacies associations), suggesting, on the whole, sedimentary environments ranging from lagoonal to peritidal context. The vertical arrangement of these lithofacies allowed the identification of a cyclic recurrence of the depositional and early diagenetic features, including a meteoric overprint on top of the elementary cycles. The cycles exhibit a shallowing upward trend from shallow subtidal to inter-supratidal and hypersaline facies, in a warm shallow marine environment.
EARTH SCIENCE APPLICATIONS IN THE FIELD OF ARCHAEOLOGY: THE HELIKE EXAMPLE
Authors: Katsonopoulou Dora
Published: January 2017

Earth science applications are widely used in the field of archaeology today. The Helike Project made use of such applications at a time when archaeology in Greece was mostly limited to traditional methodology only. Thus Helike constitutes a pioneer study case of such investigations and of their usefulness in the field of archaeology. In searching for Ancient Helike, our team since 1988 combined extensively traditional archaeological research methods and geophysical and geological exploration. The results of this multidisciplinary approach were in most cases successful beyond expectations. In this paper, I present and discuss the most significant archaeological discoveries in the area of Helike based primarily on data from our geological and geophysical investigations the last 20 years.

ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING OF ABANDONED QUARRIES REHABILITATION – A METHODOLOGY
Authors: Hagiou Eleonora , Konstantopoulou Garyfalia
Published: January 2017

Restoration of abandoned quarry sites has been for quite a few years practiced in various places in Greece, mainly in the broader district of Athens, a wide range of rehabilitation solutions has been used by the local authorities in order to cover basic needs of the population (cultural and athletic centres, municipal storage and parking facilities for heavy vehicles, open theatres, municipal waste facilities, cemeteries etc.). Still restoration of abandoned quarries (aggregate material, marble, industrial minerals etc) remains a major problem for almost every prefecture and has to be solved gradually due to lack of the necessary funds, solving the most acute environmental problems and covering basic needs of the population for municipal facilities. In this paper the development of a methodology is presented for the elaboration of a priority list for the restoration/rehabilitation of numerous abandoned quarries comprised in a geographical or administrative entity. Using multi-criteria analysis and geographical information system we have concluded in a quick and cost effective method for the hierarchical classification of restoration sites. The establishment of an adequate set of criteria for the priority list is of main importance for the successful application of the method.

Authors: Lainas S. Lainas S. , Koulouris S. , Vagenas S. , Depountis N. , Sabatakakis N. , Koukis G.
Published: January 2017

On the 8th of June 2008 an earthquake of magnitude Ms=6.5 occurred in Western Greece, affecting Achaia and Ilia Prefectures. According to state reports 2 casualties occurred, 214 people were injured and more than 15 villages and towns suffered extensive damages in properties and infrastructures. Among the secondary phenomena that were reported were extensive rockfalls that affected Santomeri village; a small village located on the western slope of the Scolis mountain. Large-sized limestone boulders, some reaching a volume up to 10m3 stroke houses and blocked roads, fortunately without casualties. The village was temporarily evacueated and the Laboratory of Engineering Geology was commissioned to undertake an Engineering Geological appraisal in order to investigate the extent of the rockfall events, assess the rockfall hazard and propose retention and protective measures so the area to be soon re-inhabited. After conducting a detailed engineering geological and geotechnical survey which included large scale engineering geological mapping, rockmass characterization and laboratory tests the inhabited area was initially divided in two zones of different rock fall risk level. By performing rockfall analyses in critical traverses a rock fall retention system, 325m long in total, comprising rock fall barrier was finally proposed.
GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE ROCK SLOPE STABILITY PROBLEMS OCCURRED AT THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE COASTAL BYZANTINE WALL OF KAVALA CITY, GREECE
Authors: Loupasakis C. , Spanou N. , Kanaris D. , Exioglou D. , Georgakopoulos A.
Published: January 2017

The coastal Byzantine wall of Kavala is located at the Panagia peninsula and it is founded on the Simvolou granite. The granite rock mass appears to be fractured by joint sets with very high persistence (>20m) and very wide spacing (60cm – 2m), forming large rock blocks. Further more, the Panagia peninsula is intersected by numerous parallel normal faults, forming extended zones of intensively fractured rock mass. Along the coastline the granite appear to be eroded by the sea waves, forming small gulfs around the faults. The Byzantine wall is founded along the edge of the fractured slopes forming the coast line of the peninsula, arising issues about the safety of the historical construction. The joint sets form numerous rock wedges with unfavourable orientation, many sections of the slopes are undercut by the wave erosion and in the majority of the fault zones the rock mass presents intensive fragmentation. The above described condition of the rock mass was recorded in detail along the entire coast line and all unstable sections were located. A full set of support measures was proposed for all unfavourable sections aiming to the improvement of the geotechnical behaviour of the rock mass, constituting the foundation formation of the Byzantine wall.
SLOPE INSTABILITY MONITORING BY SPACE-BORNE SAR INTERFEROMETRY: PRELIMINARY RESULTS FROM PANACHAICO MOUNTAIN (WESTERN GREECE)
Authors: Parcharidis I. , Foumelis M. , Kourkouli P.
Published: January 2017

Space borne differential synthetic aperture radar interferometry (DInSAR) has already proven its potential for mapping ground deformation phenomena, e.g. earthquakes, volcano dynamics, etc covering in continuity large areas. The innovative Persistent Scatterers Interferometry (PSI) technique, which overcomes several limitations of conventional SAR differential interferometry especially for applications in landslide studies, is suitable for monitoring slope deformations with millimetric precision. With PSI technique we detect the deformation, for long periods, that occur in an area as average annual deformation (mm/y) and is not spatially continuous but in terms of points (point targets). The aim of this study is to present preliminary results on the monitoring of slope instability in Panachaiko Mountain and particularly of the slopes facing the city of Patras. For this purpose we processed and analysed 42 ERS 1 and ERS 2 SAR scenes acquired in the time span 1992 and 2001, by applying the Interferometric Point Target Analysis algorithm. Point target reflectors with stable radar response over time were selected. In this case most of the point targets correspond to buildings of the local settlements or to rock outcrops. Additionally, millimetric target displacements along the line of sight direction were detected allowing measurements of slow terrain motion.

Published: January 2017

In our days the strategy of an integrated planning approach in dealing with urban development matters, is a reality and engineering geology plays a primary role. In the present study an approach of the engineering geological conditions of Nafplion city and the wider area are given. In the region of interest, four (4) sampling boreholes were drilled by IGME, up to the depth of 40m. During the boring procedure in situ SPT and permeability tests were carried out, as well as the lithology of obtained material has been described. Samples, undisturbed and disturbed, have also collected for further laboratory tests. After the completion of each borehole, piezometric tubes were installed, for the monitoring of the underground water table. Laboratory tests for the determination of physical and mechanical characteristics of all drilled formations were executed. The geotechnical distinction and unification of the geological forma tions was made on a 1:5,000 topographical map, in accordance with the up to date in ternational practice. The engineering geological map in the urban and suburban region of Nafplion city is presented and the geotechnical characteristics of the formations struc turing the area are evaluated. The combination of the results of the drilling programme as well as on the engineering geological approach and the geological structure of the studied area, resulted the compilation of the engineering geological map (scale 1:5,000) of Nafplion city wide area, where 18 engineering geological types are distinguished. The boreholes data of other public bodies have been also taken into account for this compilation. As the task of this project was the contribution to the urban development of Nafplion city, this engineering geological map will be a useful tool for engineers, planners, civil authorities, etc.
A STUDY OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THE MODIFIED TRANSFORMED VEGETATION INDEX MTVI
Authors: Skianis G. Aim. , Gournelos Th. , Vaiopoulos D. , Nikolakopoulos K.
Published: January 2017

In the context of a recent research on the performance of vegetation indices we have shown, with the aid of probability theory, that the shape and width of the histogram of the Transformed Vegetation Index TVI is controlled by the ratio of the standard deviation of the Red band to that of the NIR band. Therefore a modification of the mathematical expression of the TVI vegetation index may produce images with a varying tonality contrast. In the present paper the modified transformed vegetation index MTVI is introduced, the value of which is controlled by a positive parameter c. A theoretical study of the effect of this parameter on the image histogram is first carried out and it is shown that changing c one can obtain MTVI images with different histograms and standard deviations. Experimentation with a satellite image over western Peloponnese verifies that the parameter c controls the shape of the MTVI histogram and, furthermore, the optical effect of the MTVI image as well as the spatial variation (semivariogram) of the pixel values. Therefore the proposed modified transformed vegetation index may help the potential user in broadening his/her choices to map the vegetation cover of the area under study.

Published: January 2017

This paper deals with the hydrogeological study of the evolution of groundwater salinisation - degradation at the eastern Nestos River Delta. Relevant field works including in-situ measurements of groundwater level, pH, Specific Electrical Conductivity (SEC) and temperature took place in the years 2008 and 2009. Groundwater samples were also collected for chemical analysis at the Engineering Geology Laboratory of the Department of Civil Engineering of D.U.Th. (July of 2009). Important conclusions regarding the progress of the groundwater degradation at the study area were drawn based on the analysis of all the available data and the elaboration of the designed piezometric maps and the various maps showing the distribution of SEC, Chloride, SAR (Sodium Absorption Ratio) and Revelle coefficient values. Some managerial suggestions for the confrontation of the seawater intrusion regime of the study area are also included.

Οι Δημοκρατικές Γιορτές της Γαλλικής Επανάστασης και η Ελληνική Αρχαιότητα
Authors: Menegaki Kintis Maria
Published: January 2017

Οι δημοκρατικές γιορτές ήταν ένας νέος θεσμός που λειτούργησε στη Γαλλία από το 1789 ώς το τέλος του ι800. Πρόκειται για ένα σύστημα δημόσιων τελετών συνδεδεμένων με τη νέα «πολιτική θρησκεία» η οποία αντικατέστησε," για ένα διάστημα, το καθολικό δόγμα και τις τελετουργίες του. Σκοπός τους ήταν η διάδοση των νέων αξιών που είχαν διατυπωθεί από το κίνημα του Διαφωτισμού, και πρότυπο τους οι δημόσιες τελετουργίες της αρχαίας Ελλάδας, ο χαρακτήρας των οποίων ανταποκρινόταν απόλυτα στα οράματα της επαναστατικής αστικής τάξης. Η ηθοπλαστική τους αξία είχε εξαρθεί τόσο από τον J.-J. Rousseau, μελετητή και θαυμαστή του Πλούταρχου, όσο και από τον Abbé Barthélémy, συγγραφέα του έργου Το Ταξίδι τον Νεαρού Ανάχαρση στην Ελλάδα, στο μέσο του 4ον> π-%- Αιώνα (1788).Η προσπάθεια αυτή της Γαλλικής Επανάστασης να εκριζώσει τις χριστιανικές καταβολές του γαλλικού πολιτισμού οδήγησε στην καθιέρωση, από την Convention, της θρησκείας του Υπέρτατου Όντοςκαι του εορτολογίου της. Ο μεγαλειώδης εορτασμός της εορτής του Υπέρτατου ' Οντος στο Παρίσι και σε όλες τις κοινότητες της χώρας, στις 20 πραιριάλ του δεύτερου έτους της Δήμοκρατίας, ήταν το αποκορύφωμα της επιστροφής στην αρχαιότητα. Ο θεσμός των δημοκρατικών γιορτών είναι ένα πρωτοφανές φαινόμενο για τον γαλλικό και τον ευρωπαϊκό πολιτισμό. Χάρη σ' αυτόν πλατιά στρώματα του γαλλικού λαού μυήθηκαν στις αξίες του αρχαίου ελληνικού πολιτισμού, που ήταν ώς τότε προνόμιο μιας ολιγάριθμης ελίτ λογίων και ανθρώπων των γραμμάτων. Σήμερα, στην αυγή του 2ΐου αιώνα, όπου ταφαινόμενα θρησκευτικού φανατισμού πληθαίνουν και θέτουν σε κίνδυνο τις ανθρώπινες ελευθερίες, βλέπουμε τον ουνιβερσαλισμό της γαλλικής σκέψης, θρεμμένης με την αρχαία ελληνική κληρονομιά, ως μια από τις σημαντικότερες όψεις της Γαλλικής Επανάστασης.

Η Ελλάδα και ο Eugène Sue
Authors: Skourtis Yiannis A.
Published: January 2017

Ποια τα αισθήματα του Eugène Sue για την Ελλάδα;Με βάση αυτό το ερώτημα ερευνάται η ζωή του συγγραφέα για να βρεθούν οι δεσμοί του με την Ελλάδα, και γίνεται επίσης αναφορά σε συγκεκριμένο έργο του, που τιτλοφορείται La Bataille de Navarin. Σύμφωνα με τα γαλλικά Ναυτικά Αρχεία, ο Sue, προερχόμενος από το Αλγέρι, πέρασε πρώτα από τις Κυκλάδες με κατεύθυνση το Νάυαρίνο, όπου στα 1827 το πλοίο στο οποίο επέβαινε πήρε μέρος στην περίφημη ομώνυμη ναυμαχία. Οι Έλληνες λόγιοι πληροφορήθηκαν ότι ο Γάλλος λογοτέχνης συμμετείχε ως ιατρός στη ναυμαχία του Ναυαρίνου πάνω σ' ένα πολεμικό πλοίο του γαλλικού Ναυτικού, και για το γεγονός αυτό, χωρίς να λάβουν υπόψη τους ότι ο Sue επιβιβάσθηκε στο καράβι για να αποφύγει την πατρική οργή, τον χαρακτήρισαν ως φιλέλληνα. Ο Sue όμως κυριολεκτικά αδιαφόρησε κατά τη διεξαγωγή της μάχης για την Ελλάδα και τους ' Ελληνες, μα και αμέσως μετά τη μάχη δεν προέβη σε καμιά εκδήλωση φιλελληνικών αισθημάτων ή στη σύνθεση έργου με σκοπό να υμνήσει την Ελλάδα και τους Νεοέλληνες. Κυριολεκτικά αδιαφόρησε για τη χώρα αυτή και τους κατοίκους της για να επιδοθεί στην καλοζωία, εγκαταλείποντας το γαλλικό Ναυτικό, αφού έγινε πλούσιος από κληρονομιές συγγενών του. Πολύ αργότερα θυμήθηκε αναγκαστικά τα γεγονότα του Ναυαρίνου, όταν χρειάστηκε να γράψει έργο για να προβληθεί ο ίδιος στο λογοτεχνικό στερέωμα, παρακινούμενος από τους φίλους του. Και τότε μόνον συνέθεσε το έργο La Bataille de Navarin, που ανταποκρινόταν στις ικανότητες του, μια και ο Sue δεν είχε άλλες ιδέες κατά νου. Οι λογοτεχνικές του λοιπόν φιλοδοξίες τον προσανατόλισαν στο θέμα της περιγραφής της ναυμαχίας, και όχι η αγάπη του για την Ελλάδα ή τους Έλληνες, χωρίς βέβαια να λησμονούμε ότι μια συγκεκριμένη έκθεση ζωγραφικής στο Παρίσι αποτέλεσε το κύριο έναυσμα για σύνθεση αυτού του λογοτεχνικού έργου. Καμιά λοιπόν φιλελληνική σκέψη δεν διακατείχε τον Sue στα 1831, αλλά και λίγα χρόνια αργότερα με τη δημοσίευση του έργου του Kardiki, που το έγραψε βιαστικά για να κερδίσει τη ζωή του και όχι για να προβάλει τη βασανισμένη από τον οθωμανικό ζυγό Ελλάδα. Η προβολή του Sue στην Ελλάδα και ο χαρακτηρισμός του ως φιλέλληνα έγινε μόνον από τους " Ελληνες μεταφραστές των έργων του, που τον περιέβαλαν με τον μανδύα του φιλέλληνα για να πουλήσουν, μεταξύ άλλων, τα μεταφρασμένα Μυστήρια των Παρισίων και τον Περιπλανώμενο Ιουδαίο. Τα ιστορικολογοτεχνικά δεδομένα και το αρχειακό υλικό δεν επιτρέπουν να υποστηρίζουμε :διαίτερους δεσμούς του Sue με την Ελλάδα και τους Έλληνες.

Ο μύθος του Ορφέα στο θεατρικό έργο του Tennessee Williams
Authors: Koutsoudaki Mary
Published: January 2017

Τ Williams' use of Dionysicism is evident in his theater. A very interesting sample of this use can be found in Battle of Angels, Orpheus Descending, Camino Real and Suddenly Last Summer. These plays present various treatments of the ritual and the myth in the playwright's effort to give a universal meaning to the plights of modern man. The Orphic identity of Dionysus is predominant in Battle of Angels (1940), which was one of Williams' favorite plays. The use of Orphic Dionysicism expresses the playwright himself who believed that Battle of Angels was «coming directly from his heart as an expression of fundamental human hungers». It has been often labelled as «the root Williams play, a powerful mixture of sex, violence and religion». He revised it on and off for seventeen years before its mature version, Orpheus Descending, appeared in 1957. Both plays tell us about the advent of the Orphic hero to a city of the American South, the revival that he brings and his death-«sparagmos» that is commemorated by the inclusion of the snakeskin jacket in the local museum. In these plays, springsummer is followed by autumn-winter, and there is no continuation of the ritual, no god's resurrection and no coming of the following spring. Battle of Angels and Orpheus Descending could therefore be classified as Williams' non-regenerative plays in the sense that they do not follow the cyclical pattern of the Dionysiac death and rebirth.

Objetivo :La presente investigación buscó evaluar la formación de microfisuras dentinarias en el conducto radicular después de la preparación químico mecánica con los sistemas Protaper Universal, Protaper Next y TF Adaptive. Para luego poder determinar cual de los sistemas genera menor número de microfisuras luego de la preparación quimico mecanica. Materiales y método: Se seleccionaron 38 premolares mandibulares recién extraidos, que tuvieran un solo conducto radicular. La muestra se dividio en tres grupos experimentales (n= 11) correspondiente a cada sistema de preparación químico mecánica. Grupo A: Protaper Universal, Grupo B: Protaper Next, Grupo C: TF Adaptive. Y un cuarto grupo (n=5) que correspondía al grupo de control negativo. Luego de la preparación químico mecánica se realizaron cortes horizontales a 4mm, 8mm y 12mm desde el ápice, los cuales fueron evaluados con un estereomicroscopio de 20x donde se determinó la presencia de microfisuras. Resultados: El Protaper Universal, produce microfisuras en comparación al Protaper Next y el TF Adaptive siendo esta diferencia estadisticamente significativa (p>0.05). A los 12mm el sistema TF Adaptive presenta mayor número de microfisuras sin ser esta estadisticamente significativa. Conclusión: Los sistemas Protaper Next y Twisted File Adaptive tienden a generar menor cantidad de microfisuras dentinarias en comparación al sistema Protaper Universal en el tercio apical.
Confianza en la policía en Chile: un arma de doble filo
Authors: Dammert Lucia
Published: January 2017

Carabineros es una de las policías mejor evaluadas en América Latina. Una de sus características es la positiva evaluación ciudadana que la instala como la institución con mayor nivel de confianza. Sin embargo este elemento también ha limitado la intervención política sobre los procesos institucionales e inhibido las reformas que emanan de actores sociales y políticos en áreas que requieren ser revisadas. El artículo describe el proceso chileno marcado por niveles de criminalidad estables, creciente temor, alta preocupación por el delito y baja evaluación de los actores del sistema. Paradojalmente, la institución policial parece no ser afectada por el panorama de molestia y preocupación ciudadana, por el contrario es calificada positivamente. También el documento muestra que el indicador de confianza debe ser analizado con mayor detalle y focalizar en aquellos grupos que muestran más desconfianza e insatisfacción en el trabajo policial: pobres, jóvenes y aquellos que han tenido contacto con funcionarios policiales.

A new series of low-melting, highly volatile, thermally and air-stable cadmium MOCVD precursors have been synthesized and characterized. Cd(hfa)2(N, N-DE-N', N'-DMEDA) has been successfully utilized in the growth of highly conductive and transparent CdO thin films. Hall measurements conducted on films deposited simultaneously on MgO (100) single crystal and Corning 1737F glass substrates reveal that the films on MgO have significantly enhanced carrier mobilities. Owing to similar grain sizes and carrier concentrations we attribute this effect to improved texture and associated improvements crystalline order. Conductivities as high as 8,590 S/cm are obtained which is to our knowledge the highest value reported to date for CdO films without aliovalent dopants.

The thermal stability of nanocrystalline ultra-soft magnetic (Fe98Zr2)1-xNx films with x=0.10-0.25 was studied using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), positron beam analysis (PBA) and thermal desorption spectrometry (TDS). The results demonstrate that grain growth during the heat treatment is accompanied by an increase of the free volume, by nitrogen reallocation and desorption. All this can drastically deteriorate the ultra-soft magnetic properties. The desorption starts already at slightly elevated temperatures, below 100°C. However, most of the nitrogen leaves the sample at a temperature above 500°C.

Suaka perikanan merupakan perangkat dalam pengelolaan sumber daya ikan yang sebagian besar dilakukan di perairan umum daratan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui upaya konservasi keanekaragaman hayati ikan perairan umum daratan di Pulau Jawa. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Jawa Barat,Jawa Tengah, dan Jawa Timur dilakukan pada bulan April sampai Nopember 2007. Metode yang digunakan adalah survei lapang, wawancara, dan studi pustaka. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa persepsi yang berbeda terhadap suaka perikanan pada waduk akan memberikan status pengelolaan yang berbeda. Upaya konservasi yang telah dilakukan di Pulau Jawa berupapembentukan suaka perikanan yang menjadi bagian dari pengelolaan waduk dan bentuk dari kearifan lokal. Pengembangan suaka perikanan yang sudah ada memerlukan peraturan yang efisien dan efektif karena belum dikelola denganbaik.Reservat is a part of fisheries resources management and largely conducted in the inland open waters. The research objective was to determine the conservation of biodiversity of inland open waters on the island of Java. The study was conducted in West Java, Central Java, and East Java in April to November 2007. The method used is the field surveys, interviews, and literaturereview. The results showed that the different perceptions of reservat fishery in the reservoir will provide a different management status. Conservation efforts that have been conducted on the island of Java in the form of the establishment offisheries reserves that are part of reservoir management and forms of local wisdom. Development of existing reservat fisheries regulations requires an efficient and effective because it has not managed properly.
PERKEMBANGAN DAN OPTIMISASI PRODUKSI PERIKANAN LAUT DI INDONESIA

Published: February 2017

Tulisan ini menjelaskan perkembangan kegiatan penangkapan dan produksi perikanan laut Indonesia pada kurun waktu 22 tahun terakhir. Jumlah dan daya tangkap armada perikanan laut telah berkembang pesat dan menghasilkan peningkatan produksi perikanan. Perkembangan produksi tersebut cenderung melambat pada 10 tahun terakhir dan mendekati level-off, namun volume produksi ikan tersebut tidak mencapai tingkat optimalnya. Beberapa permasalahan yang menyebabkan capaian sub-optimal tersebut antara lain adalah terjadinya overcapacity pada armada perikanan yang berdampak terjadinya overfishing, struktur armada perikanan yang didominasi perahu dan kapal berskala kecil yang beroperasi tidak jauh dari pantai menggunakan alat tangkap dengan selektivitas rendah, dan adanya praktek penangkapan ikan secara ilegal. Permasalahan lainnya adalah karakteristik sumberdaya ikan yang terdiri dari banyak species yang bermigrasi ke dan/atau dimanfaatkan bersama oleh nelayan dari daerah atau negara yang berbeda. Pengendalian upaya penangkapan ikan dalam kerangka pengelolaan perikanan dengan mempertimbangkan hal-hal tersebut perlu dilakukan untuk optimisasi produksi lestari. Pilihan pengendalian untuk masing-masing wilayah pengelolaan perikanan dijelaskan pada tulisan ini.This paper describes the development of fishing activities and marine fisheries production of Indonesia during the last 22 year period. The number and fishing power of fishing fleet increased considerably, resulting in higher quantity of marine fisheries production. The growth of the production tends to be slower in the last decade approaching a level-off. However, the quantity of production was much lower than the optimal level. Some problems causing this suboptimal achievement included overcapacity of fishing fleet resulting in overfishing, domination of the fishing fleet by small-scale boats operating less selective fishing gears in the waters close to coastal areas, and illegal fishing practices. Another problem was multispecies nature of fisheries, with some fishery resources migrated to and/or were shared amongst fishers from different districs, provinces or countries. Control of fishing effort in the fisheries management famework taking into account these matters should be conducted in order to optimise sustainable production. Alternative control measures for each fisheries management area are explained here.

An algorithm of avoiding obstacles with intelligent objects
Authors: Yildirim Şahin , Yasar Ebubekir
Published: February 2017

In this research a path planning which is the first step of motion planning in robotic applications, away from an obstacle in an environment where exist many obstacles is developed. Different from the algorithms in literature, a path away from an obstacle is planned without determining the configuration free space in a place that contains many different shaped obstacles with the help of intelligent objects that are created object oriented programming(OOP). With the help of this developed algorithm not only the probable paths but also finding the shortest path and correcting it with the help of intelligent objects are evaluated at the same time. This algorithm is so profound that it can form the basic principles of many original Works with the additional in future works.

Published: January 2017

Background: SLE is an autoimmune disease most frequently found in women of child bearing age and may co­exist with pregnancy. Its multisystem involvement and therapeutic interventions pose a high risk for both the mother and the foetus. Disease flares in pregnancy pose challenges with respect to distinguishing physiologic changes related to pregnancy from disease related manifestations. The present study analyzes the fetomaternal outcome of pregnant women with SLE.Methods: An analysis of fetomaternal outcome of pregnant women with SLE during April  2015 to May 2016 at JSS hospital.Results: During the period from April 2016 to May 2016, 3773 deliveries were conducted in the department. Eleven pregnant women with SLE were followed up during this period, giving an incidence of 0.29/1000 deliveries. A high rate of lupus flare during pregnancy was found in the current study. Even among women in remission for more than six months before pregnancy, the rate of lupus flare was not low (27%). Also other complications seen were pre-eclampsia 54.54%, HELLP syndrome in 9.09% , PPH in 50%, polyserositis seen in 9.09% and one maternal death was seen (9.09%). No neonate suffered from heart-blocker however there was 75 % NICU admissions among live borns.Conclusions: Advancing technology and better understanding of the maternal-foetal relationship in lupus have improved outcomes in lupus pregnancies over the last decade. The multisystem nature of the disease, the severity of the organ involvement needs to be assessed and a multidisciplinary approach is required for its diagnosis and successful management.

Published: January 2017

Background: Tuberculosis is a serious health problem worldwide and constitutes the main infectious cause of death. There are two types of clinical manifestation of tuberculosis are pulmonary tuberculosis and extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Apart of this, extra pulmonary tuberculosis, highly vascular areas such as lymph nodes, kidneys, spine, eyes, bones etc are commonly affected. Methods: The aim of the present study was carried out to determine the clinical profile of patients presenting with EPTB. The diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis relies on the detection of the causative organism after Staining technique for AFB ZealNeelsons method, Ultrasonography of abdomen, Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Results: Our study comprised of 151 individuals, out of whom EPTB showed similar preponderance in males and females. Maximum patients were in the age group 21-30years. Mean age of the study patients was 38.9 years with a standard deviation of 16.5 years. lymphadenitis as the most common form of EPTBin both males and females, followed by pleura, bones & joints, brain & Meninges, Miliary TB and TB abscess. Histopathology is the most commonly used method of diagnosis, followed by chest X ray. Past history of pulmonary TB and concurrent pulmonary TB are more chances to get the EPTB, 4(2.66%) patients had HIV seropositivity. DTB was found to be the commonest EPTB in HIV co-infected patients. Conclusions: In developing countries, the proportion of EPTB is relatively higher. Thus, based on our study there is a need to develop novel diagnostic techniques for appropriate treatment of extra pulmonary tuberculosis and to prevent its complications. Moreover, the treatment should be recommended by the WHO.
Congenital Mesoblastic Nephroma Presenting With Refractory Hypertension in a Premature Neonate: A Case Study
Authors: Robertson-Bell Tracey , Newberry Desi M. , Jnah Amy J. , DeMeo Stephen D.
Published: January 2017

The most common nonencapsulated solid renal tumor in the neonatal period is congenital mesoblastic nephroma. Mesoblastic nephroma is a solid lesion originating within or extending from the renal parenchyma. These tumors proliferate rapidly, typically within 3–6 months after birth. Mesoblastic nephromas are stratified by classification as either classical (benign) or atypical (malignant); masses composed of both benign and malignant cells are also reported. The hallmark clinical manifestation of mesoblastic nephroma is a palpable abdominal mass, which may be accompanied by hypertension, hypercalcemia, hematuria, and polyuria. Differentiating between benign and malignant renal tumors is essential to invoke a timely, evidence-based management and treatment plan. With appropriate surgical intervention in a timely manner, prognosis is excellent and mesoblastic nephroma is considered curable. We present a case involving a premature infant with congenital mesoblastic nephroma with discussion of embryology, pathophysiology, diagnostic, management, and prognostic implications for the neonate and family.
Más allá de la victimización. Resistencias, creaciones y cuestionamientos = Beyond victimization. Resistances, creations and questionings

Published: January 2017

Resumen: Este artículo nace de una investigación doctoral que analiza las re-formulaciones identitarias de las mujeres indígenas desplazadas en el contexto de conflicto armado en Colombia. El objetivo del mismo es mostrar cómo la condición de víctimas trae consigo estrategias de resistencia, creaciones y cuestionamientos. Desde las circunstancias que viven muestro cómo las identidades de género, etnia y desplazada son base de vulneración de sus derechos. Asimismo, las mujeres indígenas, como sujetos activas, re-formulan sus identidades tras pasar por situaciones de ruptura de las mismas. Se posicionan como agentes de cambio, generadoras de nuevos discursos y prácticas. A través de estas realidades advertimos las redes y movilizaciones que las mujeres indígenas están llevando a cabo, así como las reflexiones y cuestionamientos que se dan desde el activismo y el campo teórico. Palabras clave: identidad de género, identidad étnica, violencia, resistencia, discursos propios. Abstract: This article builds on my doctoral research which analyzed reformulations of identity of displaced indigenous women in the context of armed conflict in Colombia. The objective is to show how the condition of victims bring about resistance strategies, creations and questions. Focusing on the case of displaced indigenous women, I show how identities of gender, ethnicity and displacement are based on infringement of their rights. Furthermore, indigenous women, as active subjects, reformulate their identities after going through situations of rupture. They position themselves as agents of change, generating new discourses and practices. Through these realities we advise the networks and mobilizations that indigenous women are carrying out, as well as reflections and questions which they make, both from the perspectives of activism and theory.
