OMEN-SED(-RCM) (v1.1): A pseudo reactive continuum
representation of organic matter degradation dynamics for
OMEN-SED
Authors: Pika Philip , Hülse Dominik , Arndt Sandra
Published: March 2021

Abstract. OMEN-SED is a one-dimensional, analytical reaction-transport model for early diagenesis in marine sediments. It explicitly resolves organic matter (OM) degradation and associated biogeochemical terminal electron acceptor, reduced species and nutrient dynamics in porous media under steady state conditions. OMEN-SED has been specifically designed for the coupling to global Earth System Models and the analytical solution of the coupled set of mass conservation equations ensures the computational efficiency required for such a coupling. To find an analytic solution, OMEN-SED expresses all explicitly resolved biogeochemical processes as a function of OM degradation. The original version of OMEN-SED contains a relatively simple description of OM degradation based on two reactive OM classes, a so-called 2-G model. However, such a simplified approach does not fully account for the widely observed continuous decrease in organic matter reactivity with burial depth/time. The reactive continuum model that accounts for the continuous distribution of organic compounds over the reactive spectrum represents an alternative and more realistic description, but cannot be easily incorporated within the general OMEN-SED framework. Here, we extend the diagenetic framework of OMEN-SED with a multi-G approximation of the reactive continuum model (RCM) of organic matter degradation by using a finite, but large number of OM fractions, each characterized by a distinct reactivity. The RCM and its multi-G approximation are fully constrained by only two free parameters, α and ν, that control the initial distribution of OM compounds over the reactivity spectrum. The new model is not only able to reproduce observed pore water profiles, sediment-water interface fluxes and redox zonation across a wide range of depositional environments, but also provides a more realistic description of anaerobic degradation pathways. The added functionality extends the applicability of OMEN-SED to a broader range of environments and timescales, while requiring fewer parameters to simulate a wider spectrum of OM reactivities.

Modos de representación de la mujer en los documentales sobre ejecuciones extrajudiciales en Colombia a través del análisis fílmico
Authors: Calvo de Castro Pablo , Eusse Garcés Laura Alexandra , Alzate Giraldo Alberto Alejandro
Published: March 2021

Este trabajo analiza la representación de las mujeres en los documentales sobre ejecuciones extrajudiciales en Colombia. Está inserto en una investigación sobre la representación y las estrategias discursivas de colectivos sociales de mujeres víctimas del conflicto en medios de comunicación, redes sociales y en obras audiovisuales documentales, en tanto estas últimas se constituyen como una herramienta fundamental para el cambio social. A través de una metodología cualitativa que emplea el análisis fílmico analizamos seis títulos sobre ejecuciones extrajudiciales dentro del conflicto colombiano para comprobar que las mujeres son las principales protagonistas en la búsqueda de la verdad y analizar cómo la construcción del discurso documental, en ocasiones, reduce ese protagonismo.

Published: March 2021

Global warming impacts plant phenology and the effect of climate change will be more intensely experienced at the edges of a plant's distribution. This work focuses on Iberian alder's climatic range (Alnus lusitanica Vít, Douda & Mandák). The Iberian Peninsula constitutes the Southwestern edge of the global chorological distribution of European black alder (Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn. s.l.), and some of the warmest and driest conditions for the alder population are located in the center of Spain. The critical temperature-relevant periods that regulate the reproductive phenology of alder were analyzed using a statistical-based method for modeling chilling and forcing accumulation periods in temperate trees. Our results reveal that autumn chilling was the most important thermal accumulation period for alder in a Mediterranean climate while forcing requirements are satisfied in a short period of time. Autumn temperatures were significantly correlated with the timing of flowering, and chill units during this season directly influence start-dates of alder flowering. A positive trend was observed in pollen seasons' timing, meaning a slight delay of alder flowering in central Spain. It coincided with autumn warming during the period 2004-2018. If this warming trend continues, our results predict a delay in the start-date of flowering by around 3-days for every degree increase in maximum autumn temperatures according to the most optimistic emission scenarios.
Use of machine learning to establish limits in the classification of hyperaccumulator plants growing on serpentine, gypsum and dolomite soils
Authors: Mota-Merlo Marina , Martos Vanessa
Published: March 2021

The so-called hyperaccumulator plants are capable of storing hundred or thousand times bigger quantities of heavy metals than normal plants, which makes hyperaccumulators very useful in fields such as phytoremediation and phytomining. Among these plants there are many serpentinophytes, i.e., plants that grow exclusively on ultramafic rocks which produce soils with a great proportion of heavy metals. Even though there are multiple classifications, the lack of consensus regarding which parameters to use to determine whether a plant is a hyperaccumulator, as well as the arbitrariness of stablished thresholds, bring about the need to propose more objective criteria. To this end, plant mineral composition data from different vegetal species were analysed using machine learning techniques. Three complementary case studies were established. Firstly, plants were classified in three types of soils: dolomite, gypsum and serpentine. Secondly, data about normal and hyperaccumulator plant Ni composition were analysed with machine learning to find differentiated subgroups. Lastly, association studies were carried out using data about mineral composition and soil type. Results in the classification task reach a success rate over 75%. Clustering of plants by Ni concentration in parts per million (ppm) resulted in four groups with cut-off points in 2.25, 100 (accumulators) and 3000 ppm (hyperaccumulators). Associations with a confidence level above 90% were found between high Ni levels and serpentine soils, as well as between high Ni and Zn levels and the same type of soil. Overall, this work demonstrates the potential of machine learning to analyse data about plant mineral composition. Finally, after consulting the red list of the IUCN and those of countries with high richness in hyperaccumulator species, it is evident that a greater effort should be made to establish the conservation status of this type of flora.

Published: March 2021

The core aim of this study was to investigate the cultural aspects namely, gender egalitarianism, assertiveness and future orientation of female leaders’ effects on their leadership effectiveness. The study explains that cultural aspect of the developed and the Arab countries is different, thus, women leaders in Arab countries face different restrictions, choose different style of leadership and have different future orientations which has significant influence on effectiveness of leadership. The findings of the study revealed that female leaders were less future orientated, less assertive and have limited facilitates as compared to their male counterparts. Hence, leadership effectiveness of women leaders being an important phenomenon was investigated in the Arab countries having male dominance and where women have limited freedom. Moreover, specifically, in Saudi Arabia, women leaders are found in education sector only. Hence, the current study proposed a model to account for the effects of cultural aspects on leadership effectiveness in the education sector.

Published: March 2021

The role of higher education in the progress of a society is indispensable. It shapes up the minds, mold behaviors and develops distinctive capabilities in the human being to serve the society better. Higher Education in the Arab World began to emerge and spread after the mid-twentieth century. There is a dearth of empirical research pertinent to the employee performance in general and employee performance in higher education. This condition had therefore illuminated a significant gap in the education sector of KSA that tends to focus on overall sectoral problems and organizational level problems in respect to job performance. Thus, the present study may contribute to the existing literature on Public Sector Universities in KSA through proposed a research model which has not received much attention.

Previous studies anticipated that there is need of justice in educational institutions in order to protect the academicians’ psychological as well as emotional needs under teaching profession. Therefore, the purpose of current study is to examine the moderating role of organizational justice between the relationship of emotional exhaustion and job-related outcomes (Teachers’ Learning, Organizational Commitment, and Organizational loyalty). In order to accomplish this purpose, the survey questionnaire method was used. The study is quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional in nature. 250 respondents were selected by applying simple random sampling. Results indicated that emotional exhaustion is significantly and negatively related to teachers’ learning and loyalty. Meanwhile, findings divulged the negative association between emotional exhaustion and teachers’ commitment. Moreover, results also enlightened that organizational justice (distributed justice, procedural justice, and interactional justice) significantly moderate on the relationship of emotional exhaustion and job-related outcomes (Teachers’ Learning, Organizational Commitment, and Organizational loyalty). This study enriches the body of knowledge regarding the moderating role of organizational justice as previous studies almost ignored it. It also gives insight understanding regarding the role of teachers’ emotional exhaustion towards their learning, loyalty, and commitment. Additionally, On the basis of these finding, organizations can make their employees more committed and loyal by reforming policies about organizational justice.

Authors: Peter Amade , Bakari Ibrahim H.
Published: March 2021

This study examines the impact of population growth on the economic growth of African countries using panel data approach from 1980 -2015. The impact of population growth on economic growth is still largely controversial at national and regional levels. The study used annual secondary data of fifty three (53) African countries sourced from the World Development Indicators database. Data were collected for economic growth, proxied by GDP, population growth, fertility rate, crude death rate and inflation rate. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, as well as dynamic panel models of difference and system GMM. The results of the difference and system GMM suggest that population growth exerts a positive impact on economic growth of Africa while fertility has a negative impact on economic growth of Africa. The paper concludes and recommends that population growth impacts positively on economic growth and thus African countries should adopt and implement pragmatic policy measures that will enhance the productivity of its population so as to reap more demographic dividends.

This paper revisit one of Nigeria’s paradox: net food importer (especially in rice and wheat) accompanied by huge import bill running into billions of Naira despite huge agricultural potentials of 82 million hectares of arable land, conducive agro-ecology system for varieties of crops and dynamics smallholder farmers; Growth Enhancement Support Scheme (GESS, 2011) and Anchor Barrower Programs (ABP,2015) are among various initiatives aimed at boosting domestic production capacity particularly of rice and wheat; reduced importation and import bills and consequently conserve scarce foreign exchange. Base on before-and-after approach of evaluating policies and programs, a regression approach to single factor Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to determine whether significant mean difference exist on area harvested, domestic production and import of rice and wheat in Nigeria before (1988-2009) and after (2010-2019) the implementation of the two programs. The findings indicate a significant and moderate increase in Nigeria’s capacity to produce more rice and wheat respectively; and the programs have not drastically reduced rice and wheat importation in Nigeria. The paper recommends expansion and sustainability of the programs with emphasis on wheat, quality output and competitive price, if Nigeria is serious about achieving self-sufficiency in rice and wheat.

Economic growth is not a new phenomenon; empiric is filled with studies from the preceding two centuries that examined growth. The new thing in this analysis is that this study considers growth determinants for south Asian economies. The reason behind this selection is that most of the studies didn’t consider a combined analysis of these states. In this regard, this paper has examined seven explanatory variables that are unemployment, Access to electricity, domestic credit to the private sector, foreign direct investment, inflation, and total debt while gross domestic product as a dependent variable has been examined. To prove these determinants' role statistically, PMG/ARDL (Pooled Mean Group Auto-Regressive Distributed Lagged Model) test has been utilized. Estimates provoked a statistically significant role of these determinates in economic growth determination.

POSSIBILIDADES DE FORMAÇÃO DE UMA IDENTIDADE FEMININA A PARTIR DAS PÁGINAS DO JORNAL DIÁRIO DOS CAMPOS – 1910 A 1930
Authors: Campagnoli Karina Regalio
Published: March 2021

O objetivo deste artigo é discutir a formação de uma identidade feminina por meio da análise das publicações do jornal Diário dos Campos, periódico ponta-grossense centenário, abordando o contexto histórico das décadas de 1910 a 1930. A partir de análise documental, com abordagem qualitativa, procurou-se compreender como as reportagens, artigos e demais matérias do referido jornal dirigiam-se às mulheres, refletindo sobre as possibilidades de formação oportunizadas ao público feminino neste contexto histórico específico. Constata-se que o engajamento e empoderamento femininos evidenciados neste periódico ocorreram apenas para uma parcela pequena das mulheres, ou seja, as que possuíam capital econômico, cultural e social, com a conformação de alguns habitus que favoreceram esses comportamentos.
Fotoperformance como estratégia artística - isolamento social voluntário e reinvenção da casa
Authors: Duarte Tatiana dos Santos , Rodeghiero Thiago Heinemann
Published: March 2021

A arte contemporânea é afetada pela vida. Em meio a solitude imposta pela covid-19, produzimos releituras da história da arte, onde mulheres artistas são protagonistas. Ao abraçar o contexto do isolamento social voluntário, mantemos a saúde mental e emocional com processos artísticos que se conectam com outras pessoas, reinventando a casa e cuidando de si (FOUCAULT, 2017).

Essas releituras são uma fotoperformance deste momento, “conferindo-lhe autonomia discursiva” (VINHOSA, 2014, p. 2882). Foram feitas duas imagens por dia, transformando-os em poesia. Em todas as etapas (a casa como estratégia de expressão, a pesquisa dos artistas e a montagem da fotoperformance) encontrando no corpo gestos de potência (GIL, 2001).

Em justaposição com a força do artista referência, compomos imagens com o que tem disponível na casa. O meio doméstico possibilita uma fabulação ao criar outros lugares para desenfadar-se: uma diversão-brincante à serviço da saúde. Ao juntar objetos e gestos, faz-se uma relação entre arte e vida, colocando a casa à viajar e habitar novos lugares e territórios.

Nosso processo é partilhado nas redes sociais virtuais (facebook, instagram, youtube e twitter) em meio às fake news, discursos de ódio, ataque a ciência e abandono da saúde pública. Logo, as releituras encontram uma fuga e dão um alívio ao stress causado pela necropolítica (MBEMBE, 2018) geradora de desconforto.

Estes trabalhos possibilitaram uma conexão com outros artistas e meios e, mesmo com uma contaminação invisível e uma morte à espreita, a janela virtual da casa é aberta para alcançar o mundo. Um aglomerado sensível que busca a sensação de presença. Portanto, criamos um meio comum: um mundo pelas fotoperformances. Na internet, durante este truculento período, intensificou-se os discursos de ódios e a divisão da verdade. A arte é o exercício de invenção compartilhada: fruir o sensível na tríade artista, obra e público.

Published: March 2021

Depois de mais de quarenta anos de atuação junto à sociedade goianiense, os programas e projetos de extensão da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás (PUC Goiás) foram suspensas, diante da necessidade de isolamento social devido à pandemia da COVID19. Os professores, funcionários administrativos e acadêmicos voluntários da Universidade aceitaram o desafio e buscaram outras formas de atuação junto ao público, formado de pessoas sujeitadas à situação de vulnerabilidade social. Ao mesmo tempo que funciona como campo de estágio e aprendizado para os acadêmicos, as realidades das periferias de Goiânia não poderiam ficar sem o auxílio da universidade nos tempos em que mais precisavam de apoio. Por isso, os atendimentos continuaram, em muitos casos de forma on-line.

A bioética de Francisco: elementos para a construção de uma bioética global cristã
Authors: Sganzerla Anor , Pessini Leocir , Zanella Diego Carlos
Published: March 2021

Nos primeiros anos de seu pontificado, Papa Francisco fez pouco uso da palavra ‘bioética’. Quando fez menção à palavra, empregou-a no sentido formal, para tratar de alguma comissão, e não para manifestar uma posição. Mas, a partir de 2018, Francisco assumiu uma posição bem definida em relação à bioética, afirmando que os nossos tempos precisam ampliar a visão tradicional da bioética para uma visão de bioética global, pois não é mais possível pensar a saúde, o bem-estar e a realização humanas de forma independente da saúde da totalidade da vida da biosfera. Essa bioética global, afirma Francisco, tem as suas bases na Laudato Si. Se o posicionamento escrito de Francisco sobre a bioética não ocorreu de forma imediata ao iniciar seu pontificado, a opção do pontífice de “começar” seu pontificado em Lampedusa, acolhendo migrantes e refugiados, deixou evidente qual seria o compromisso de sua Igreja. As duras palavras proferidas em Lampedusa, de que nos tornamos insensíveis aos gritos dos outros e que globalizamos a indiferença, tornando-nos incapazes de chorar pelo outro, deram o tom da sua missão. Nesse sentido, este artigo pretende investigar o pensamento bioético defendido pelo Papa Francisco a partir de documentos, encíclicas, homílias e cartas por ele escritas.
Contemporary and Evolving Treatment of Tricuspid Endocarditis
Authors: I. Ayzenbart Vira , Joseph Mark
Published: March 2021

The current treatment paradigm for right sided infective endocarditis is rapidly evolving. The existing recommendations for right sided infective endocarditis include medical therapy with surgical therapy used in certain situations. Surgical therapy is based on the size of the vegetation, presence of infective complications and certain causative organisms as well the retention of intracardiac devices. Unfortunately, medical therapy alone is usually not enough to clear the infection, especially when intravenous drug use is associated as the etiology. Intravenous drug use is associated with a high rate of recidivism in tricuspid valve endocarditis. Even with indications for surgery, these patients present an ethical dilemma as most of these patients will re-infect their valves post-surgery. This often provides little option than for the surgeon to re-operate in a setting with a higher risk of mortality and morbidity. We present an evolving technique of percutaneous extirpation of vegetation, allowing for rapid clearance of endocarditis, less chance of failure of medical therapy with a lower risk profile for complication.
Very Low Voltage and High Efficiency Motorisation for Electric Vehicles

This chapter details the design of a new innovative solid bar winding for electrical machines (either motors or generators) dedicated to the electric propulsion. The goal of this new winding technique is to enhance the performance by better utilizing the stator slot and increasing the copper fill factor to higher than 75%, and also to reduce the inactive copper at the end-windings. Accordingly, many advantages arise from the application of this solid bar winding: higher torque-to-weight ratio, better thermal behavior, lower rotor losses, higher efficiency, higher reliability and lower cogging torque. However, the solid bar has its inherent constraints, which should be considered with care when designing an electric motor: the AC copper losses and the manufacturing process. The suggested winding technique aims at addressing these challenges.

Reliable prediction of drainage flow rate and drainage chemistry is essential to the treatment of drainage from waste rock storages at mine sites. The traditional predictive models require simplification and assumption of geo-bio-chemical processes followed by intensive characterization, and sometimes lead to poor prediction accuracy. In the big data era, various sensors are installed in field to constantly monitor mine sites, which enables machine learning to utilize the generated monitoring data and study the underlying pattern behind the data. This chapter describes an approach to use artificial neural network to predict the drainage flow rate and drainage chemistry based on weather monitoring data collected at mine sites. The advantage of this approach is that generally no additional characterization are required to make prediction because the relevant geo-bio-chemical mechanisms are embedded naturally in the monitoring data, which can be captured through machine learning process.

In the case of infection control, one of our primary concerns is typhoid fever. According to WHO, typhoid prevalence in Indonesia is highly endemic. There is also the problem with the low efficacy of the available vaccine to prevent the disease. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a highly effective typhoid vaccine. One of the phases in vaccine development is an exploratory phase, a research-intensive phase of the vaccine development process designed to identify natural or synthetic antigens that might help prevent or treat a disease through computer in silico prediction targets. The vaccines developed through epitope peptide are designed to be safer, more efficacious, and less expensive than traditional vaccines. A thorough understanding of the disease agent, particularly critical epitopes to induce the appropriate immunological reaction, is required to achieve these aims. Mapping epitope sequences or antigenic peptides from pathogenic proteins recognized by B cells and T cells is crucial for vaccine development. Once the epitopes were identified, the polypeptide production could be produced through protein recombinant technology. The polypeptide vaccine, in the end, could be delivered using a liposomal delivery system.
Retinol binding protein 4 levels relate to the presence and severity of coronary artery disease
Authors: Nar Gokay , Sanlialp Sara , Nar Rukiye
Published: March 2021

Background: The previous studies have showed that serum retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) levels increase in metabolic disorders which are closely associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVD). However, the human studies investigating the role of RBP4 in CVD are conflicted. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between RBP4 with the presence and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in this study. Methods: 55 patients with presenting acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and 43 control subjects who had various cardiovascular risk factors with normal coronary artery on coronary angiography were included in this study. The serum RBP4 concentrations were measured using ELISA method, clinically and anatomically score models were used to assess the severity of coronary lesion. Results: Serum RBP4 levels were significantly higher in patients with ACS compared to the without ACS (68.40 ± 47.94 mg/L vs. 49.46 ± 13.64 mg/L; p = 0.014). RBP4 was correlated with GENSINI and SYNTAX I score (r = 0.286 p = 0.034; r = 0.403 p = 0.002 respectively). However, there was no relationship between RBP4 and GRACE score. Conclusions: The serum RBP4 levels increase in patients with CAD and its increased levels may be correlated with CAD severity.
Pastoreo extensivo en un pueblo de Soria: Etnografía de un mundo en extinción
Authors: Mata Romeu Anna

Humor y millennials: conectando con la generación del desencanto
Authors: Valiente Sònia
Published: March 2021

El humor es una estrategia poderosa en publicidad capaz de minimizar la percepción de la violencia (Blackford et al., 2011), ayudar a romper las resistencias, mejorar la asociación positiva de la marca (Strick et al., 2012), hacer risibles los tabúes (Oudade, 2012), aumentar la notoriedad, memorabilidad e intención de compra (Cifuentes; Sánchez, 2006) y establecer vínculos emocionales y transferencia de afecto a la marca (Cline; Kellaris, 2007; Bassat, 2008). A pesar de ello, la publicidad televisiva en España (2012-2015) no ha empleado especialmente el humor. Con todo, poco a poco se observa que las marcas apuestan por esta estrategia para establecer conexiones emocionales con los millennials, la generación del desencanto, a través de memes, repeticiones y el humor incongruente.
Hacia una ontología del escuchar. Fundamento del diálogo intercultural
Authors: Gueijman Patricia
Published: March 2021

Desde una mirada metafísica perspectivista y raciovitalista se pretende hacer un análisis del “escuchar” extrayendo de ello consecuencias aplicables al diálogo y a las prácticas interculturales, con el objetivo de realizar un aporte teórico sobre el arte de escuchar para que se efectúe un cambio liberador en el diálogo humano y un rescate de actitudes y características positivas de escuchas entre diversas sabidurías, tendiente a superar el eurocentrismo filosófico – teológico occidental hegemónico
