Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change: Do Floods Affect Cropping Intensity? Evidence from a Flood Prone District in Assam, India
Authors: Basumatary Rupon
Published: August 2018

Empirical studies that have recently built up in stock particularly with the growing awareness about the climate change since the 1970s show that people’s agricultural activities are disastrously affected, among others, by natural calamities of which floods are the most common hazards that the farming populations in particular have ever confronted with across the world. Their adverse effects are further expected to escalate with the present pace of global climate change, making it necessary to devise suitable adaptation measures for sustainable agriculture. Given these premises, the present study based in one frequently flood hit district of Dhemaji in the state of Assam, India, makes an attempt to examine whether cropping intensity of the cultivator households is affected by their flood proneness. Ordinary least square estimation result shows that the cultivator households in flood prone areas have statistically higher cropping intensity compared to the flood free households. This, however, does not in any way predict higher agricultural production or productivity by the flood prone farmers. The results, on the contrary, implicitly prescribe for a comprehensive agricultural policy particularly designed for flood prone areas, enveloping strategies but not limited to suitable irrigation infrastructure, mass awareness for productive agricultural practices, subsidised seeds and other inputs, and post harvest agriculture infrastructures including marketing facilities.

Critérios para Avaliação da Qualidade de Água no Brasil
Authors: Passos Ana Luiza Litz , Muniz Daphne Heloisa de Freitas , Oliveira Filho Eduardo Cyrino
Published: August 2018

A resolução CONAMA n° 357/2005 é a principal normativa nacional relacionada à qualidade de água, pois dispõe sobre a classificação dos corpos hídricos. Os IQAs baseiam-se em um pequeno número de parâmetros que estabelecem categorias de qualidade da água. Ambos apresentam problemas quanto às avaliações, pois a Resolução CONAMA elenca cerca noventa parâmetros para analisar os corpos hídricos, enquanto os IQAs não consideram os usos múltiplos da água e as características regionais do Brasil. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo reavaliar a utilização dos índices de qualidade da água empregados no Brasil. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica buscando trabalhos que discutam as questões dos IQAs, bem como normas brasileiras que se utilizam desse critério avaliativo. Entre os problemas observados notou-se que os índices de qualidade da água no Brasil necessitam de um redirecionamento que considere as características especificas de cada região, e as principais finalidades do uso da água.
Genetic Algorithm to Evaluate Downstream and Upstream Information Sharing
Authors: Rached Mansour
Published: August 2018

Background:

In this paper, we present an approach to evaluate the information sharing
in the supply chain.

Materials and Methods:

We propose a study of four scenarios of sharing upstream and downstream
information simultaneously. Replenishment lead time is the upstream information studied
in this work and demand information is the downstream one. We treat in this context the case of
two-echelon (a warehouse and several retailers) and multi-products supply chain.

Results:

We focus our approach on the centralised decision, in which, the warehouse is the decision
maker and his goal is to minimise the system cost independently. In our formulation, we consider
a system cost composed of holding, ordering, penalty and transportation costs. Then, we use
a Genetic Algorithm in order to approximate the optimal echelon inventory position at the
warehouse and optimal allocation quantity of each item from the warehouse to the respective retailer,
which minimises the system cost.

Conclusion:

Our approach is illustrated by some numerical experiments.

Authors: August Jessica N. , Boyd Linda D. , Giblin-Scanlon Lori
Published: August 2018

Dental educators are challenged to bridge the theory‐practice gap to enhance the educational experience and meet the diverse learning needs of students. The aim of this study was to explore dental hygiene students’ perceptions of the effectiveness, appeal, and satisfaction regarding instrumentation videos as a resource to improve learning in the clinical environment. All 152 first‐year students in a U.S. baccalaureate dental hygiene program at two sites in two consecutive years were invited to participate in the study. Survey questions addressed demographics, effectiveness, appeal, and satisfaction with the instrumentation videos along with open‐ended questions to explore students’ perceptions of the videos’ value and benefits. A total of 143 students completed the survey, for a response rate of 94%. The results showed that 50% to 70% of the respondents agreed or strongly agreed with questions relating to effectiveness, appeal, and satisfaction with the videos. Most participants used the videos while practicing (83%). Students who spoke English as a second language were less likely to feel the videos were effective, found them less appealing, and were less satisfied with them (p<0.05). Participants who practiced while using the videos were more likely to report them as being effective and appealing and were more satisfied with the videos than were participants who did not practice with them (p<0.05). Thematic analysis revealed the following themes in the open comments: helpfulness of the videos in clinical practice to clarify, reinforce, and visualize skills learned. These students reported satisfaction with the instrumentation videos, suggesting these learning aids have potential value in closing the theory‐practice gap in clinical dental hygiene education.

Authors: Coitinho Gercton Bernardo , Miranda Maria Geralda , Friede Reis
Published: August 2018

O turismo se desenvolve em ritmo acelerado na Ilha Grande desde os anos 1980, desencadeando impactos econômicos, sociais e ambientais. Através de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, associada a entrevistas estruturadas com os habitantes locais, fez-se uma primeira análise desses impactos, focando nos aspectos socioambientais. Observa-se descompasso entre o número crescente de turistas e a evolução da infraestrutura para suportar tal afluxo sem ocasionar impactos ambientais negativos, assim como insipiente educação ambiental e baixo grau associativo dos ilhéus e, ainda, ocorrência de choques culturais advindos da interação entre os locais e os turistas devido às suas diferenças. É positivo gerar um processo que empodere os ilhéus, tornando-os protagonistas deste processo que envolve o desenvolvimento e a manutenção de infraestrutura, efetiva educação ambiental e capacitação da população de modo a permitir interação com outras culturas sem perda de autenticidade.
The Diplomacy of Empathy in International Relations
Authors: Ali Omran Omer
Published: August 2018

This study attempts to answer the following question: to what extent the diplomacy of empathy and emotional dynamics has an impact on the negotiations on Iran's nuclear programme? It discusses that the failure or success of the policy of empathy, which means understanding the needs and interest of the other party, play an important role in increasing or decreasing the likelihood of reaching a diplomatic solution. It also argues that the complex emotional dynamics between the negotiating parties, particularly the United States and Iran, have contributed to the domination of the mistrust and hostile attitudes during the negotiations. This research was concluded that pursuing policy of isolation and sanctions is not likely to achieve the desired goals. Whereas, pursuing the policy of empathy has an important influence in international relations, especially in transforming conflicts and hostility to more cooperation and peace. It was also concluded that emotional beliefs such as hostility, fear, good and evil, trust, dignity, identity, etc., directly affect the behavior and policies of the negotiating parties, whether towards more conflict, hostility or more communication and cooperation.

Background: According to Framingham Study, independent risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) are diabetes, hypertension, smoking, dyslipidemia, family history of CHD and obesity. Previous study reported cut-off value of Duke Treadmill Score (DTS) < -0.5 represents a significant coronary lesion with positive predictive value 88.4%. Objective: To compare the incidence of predicted significant coronary lesions by DTS among various risk factors for coronary heart disease. Methods: A cross sectional study was done on 292 patients age 18 to 74 years old who had positive exercise testing for CAD screening during period of June 1st 2016 until May 30th 2017. DTS was calculated from treadmill test as: exercise time - (5 x ST deviation in mm) - (4 x exercise angina). A coronary lesion was predicted significant with DTS cut off value < -0.5. Results: Subjects mean age was 57 years old, male were 60.4%. The risk factors for CHD were found sequentially from the most frequent were hypertension 51.9%, smoking 35.3%, diabetes mellitus 23.1%, dyslipidemia 11.9%, obesity 4.2% and family history of CHD 6.3%. It was found that diabetes was significantly different from its effect on DTS value with p value = 0.021, while hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and family history CHD had no significant effect. Logistic regression found consistently that diabetes was significant (p=0.019). Conclusion: Predicted significant coronary lesions by DTS developed more frequent in diabetes compared to, hypertension, smoking, dyslipidemia, obesity and family history of coronary heart disease.
Kritik Pragmatisme Richard Rorty Terhadap Epistemologi Barat Modern
Authors: Kalumbang Yuventia Prisca
Published: August 2018

This essay focuses on characteristic of pragmatism and its philosophical function in pragmatism milieu that has been improved by Richard Rorty. It dicussess Rorty’s famous book: Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature. In Rorty’s view, pragmatism is a new philosophy orientation that goes beyond modern Western epistemology tradition. Epistemology in Western tradition since the 16-17 Century have been deeply influenced by Descartes, Locke and Kant, who spent great effort in stipulating all formal a priori categories as foundational constitutive factors of human knowledge. Such fondational knowledge is believed to represent reality and creates abstract-apriori and contemplation world. Instead of contemplation, Rorty pragmatism suggests a reverse way of knowing by introducing to the virtue of human’s concrete dimension which is united with dimension of action. In other words, understanding Rorty’s characteristic of pragmatism the same way to understand his critics against modern Western epistemology which has only created an abstract world and contemplation. The paper offers three parts of discussions; firstly, Rorty’s view on modern Western epistemology; followed by general characteristic of Rorty’s pragmatism, and last, its consequence toward philosophy function. Through pragmatism, Rorty affirms his support to plurality of human values and interest as concrete subject.
Exploring the Management of Anxiety in Advanced EFL Classes through English Clubs Provision for Oral Communication Improvement Secondary Schools in Benin
Authors: Bankole-Minaflinou Estelle
Published: August 2018

One of the major challenges that EFL students have to face in francophone countries is their inability to speak the English language due to many causes among which the linguistic environment and the fear of making mistakes while speaking. To solve the problem, some Beninese students refer to English Clubs (ECs) activities that provide them with a flexible learning environment. To shed light on the effectiveness of these EC programs, the present study has attempted to explore the management of language anxiety and the development of speaking ability through student participation in these programs. The findings have shown that ECs can offer a pedagogical environment where participants progressively get rid of hindrances like anxiety, stress, fear of making mistakes and being ridiculed while they develop self-esteem and oral communication and gain flexibility and fluency. Based on these findings, the study has addressed the pedagogical value of ECs programs and recommended the support of educational authorities if the battle for the oral communication of Beninese students is to be won.

Published: August 2018

El síndrome de estrés tibial medial, es una de las causas más comunes de dolor inducido por el ejercicio en las extremidades inferiores entre los practicantes de actividad física y deporte, es un evento semiológico producido por lesiones repetitivas de estrés mecánico en la región medial de la tibia, frecuente entre las patologías que afectan a los corredores y militares en formación; generalmente no suele ser grave, pero si no se trata adecuadamente puede evolucionar a lesiones incapacitantes como la llamada fractura por estrés de la tibia. Existen factores de riesgo que contribuyen al desarrollo de la patología entre los que cabe mencionar  el tipo de actividad, las inadecuadas técnicas de entrenamiento,  las condiciones del terreno y el tipo de calzado utilizado, también la pronación anormal de la articulación subastragalina, el sexo femenino, un índice de masa corporal elevado, así como la disminución de la densidad mineral ósea. El diagnóstico generalmente se establece a través del interrogatorio y el examen físico ya que las radiografías no aportan datos de interés, solamente sirven para establecer el diagnóstico diferencial con las fracturas por estrés de la tibia y exámenes de imágenes más costosos no se justifican. El tiempo de recuperación de los afectados por esta patología es bastante prolongado, existiendo la tendencia al abandono, impidiendo así conseguir los objetivos terapéuticos propuestos, el tratamiento gold estándar es la terapia física, sin embargo, existen otras modalidades terapéuticas con grandes perspectivas para el tratamiento de esta entidad patológica entre las que sobresale la terapia por ondas de choque extracorpórea, y aunque existen estudios científicos a respecto, no son suficientes,  tanto la fisiopatología, como la prevención y el tratamiento aún no están claros. Debido a lo anteriormente expuesto se realiza una revisión del estado del arte de los aspectos fundamentales de la patología.

Published: August 2018

A novel effi cient adsorbent, alkali-pretreated Paeonia ostii seed coats (AP-PSC), was investigated for the removal of methylene blue (MB) dye from solution. Orthogonal array design was applied to optimize the process parameters viz. alkali concentration, liquid-solid ratio (LSR) and pretreatment time. The results revealed that the optimal pretreatment conditions were at 0.8% (w/w) NaOH with LSR of 0.35 L g-1 treating for 50 min. Equilibrium and kinetic studies indicated that Langmuir isotherm and Pseudo-second-order models described the experimental data well. The maximum adsorption capability was of 368.2 mg g-1 for MB at 25oC. Thermodynamic parameters suggested that the AP-PSC adsorption process was physical, endothermic and spontaneous. Furthermore, the adsorption process was infl uenced by several interactive mechanisms, including ion-exchange, as well as Van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds that occur concomitantly. It was concluded that AP-PSC may be potential as an effi cient adsorbent to remove MB from solution.
Pedestrianism as an Effective Tool for Sustainable Intra-City Commuting in Calabar, Southern Nigeria
Authors: Okon Inah
Published: August 2018

The promotion of walking has become a global strategy in sustainable urban transportation planning. This is with the aim of reducing the urban commuter’s problems that result from the dominance of motorized urban transit, especially in developing countries with an increasing rate of urbanization. This study is carried out in Calabar, Southern Nigeria with the aim of assessing the conditions under which pedestrianism is enhanced. Research questionnaires were administered to household heads in all 22 localities with political delineation (wards) in the city. Respondents were sampled using the stratified sampling technique where every 10th residential house is sampled after the initial listing of houses. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to predict the conditions under which about 382 household heads (about 98% respondent rate) in Calabar could undertake utilitarian walking using factors such as motorized traffic, weather conditions, lack of safety of pedestrians and socio-economic variables as category predictors. A test of the full model against a constant single model was statistically significant, indicating that the predictors, as a set, reliably distinguished utilitarian walking and non-walking (chi square = 60.544, p < .001 with df = 17). Nagelkerke’s R2 of .232 indicated a moderately strong relationship between prediction and grouping. Prediction success overall was 70.5% (53.5% for non-walking, and 81.5% for walking). The Wald criterion demonstrated that only pedestrian conflict, lack of safety of pedestrian and the age of the pedestrian made a significant contribution to the prediction in model 1 (p = .000). Furthermore, about 99.2% of pedestrians indicated walking distances of not more than 5km while on the other hand, they can afford 0.8km to bus station, 3km to school, 5km for shopping, and about 20km for recreation trips. The study recommended counseling strategies for promoting pedestrianism among which is the development of pedestrian walkways and complementary facilities to enhance pedestrian safety and comfort.

Published: August 2018

Este artículo describe una investigación cualitativa, correlacional, básica y sincrónica, que aborda diversos aspectos que tienen implicaciones en la manera en la que se desarrolla la conciencia ambiental en educandos del último grado de primaria en el contexto del Proyecto educativo “Salva a tu mundo”, realizado en una escuela pública de Xalapa, Veracruz. El objetivo fue comprender e interpretar cómo se desarrolla la conciencia ambiental y cómo emergen los significados que la conforman. Se efectuó mediante el Método del Interaccionismo Simbólico, desde el Enfoque Histórico-Hermenéutico, posicionándose en el Paradigma Investigativo Interpretativo Naturalista. Los resultados aportan conocimientos en cuatro dimensiones para la comprensión del proceso de desarrollo de la conciencia ambiental, lo cual puede coadyuvar a la reformulación de programas de estudio y selección de metodologías didácticas propicias para favorecer la conciencia ambiental desde edades tempranas y con ello contribuir a una educación sustentable acorde a las actuales problemáticas ambientales.Development of the environmental consciousness in children of sixth grade of primary education. Meanings and perceptionsAbstractThis article describes a qualitative, correlational, basic and synchronous research that addresses several aspects that have implications in the way in which the environmental conscience is developed in children of sixth grade of primary in the context of the Educational Project “Save your world”, Carried out in a public school in Xalapa, Veracruz. The objective was to understand and interpret how environmental awareness develops and how the meanings that shape it emerge. It was carried out through the Method of Symbolic Interactionism, from the Historical-Hermeneutic Approach, positioning itself in the Naturalistic Interpretative Investigative Paradigm. The results brings in knowledge in four dimensions for understanding the process in which the environmental conscience is developed, which can contribute to the reformulation of study programs and selection of didactic methodologies propitious to favor the environmental conscience from early ages and with that to help to a Sustainable education in line with current environmental issues.Recibido: 21 de junio de 2017Aceptado: 04 de diciembre de 2017
The e-governance approach to register-based census, based on the case of the GCC countries: A research note
Authors: Bah Sulaiman , Mansour Jaffar
Published: August 2018

This paper discusses the experience of the Scandinavian countries with respect to register-based census (RBC), outlining important enabling features that facilitated this type of accounting system in Scandinavia. The central question examined is whether RBC is possible in the Gulf Cooperation Countries (GCC) as they proceed toward the 2020 round of census. The secondary question is whether, for the GCC countries, the e-governance approach offers a viable alternative to the classical Scandinavian approach to RBC.L’article traite de l’expérience de pays scandinaves en matière de recensement à registre (RR); il donne les importantes caractéristiques qui permettent de faciliter ce genre de système de comptabilité en Scandinavie. La question centrale qui y est examinée consiste à déterminer si le RR est possible dans les pays du Conseil de coopération du Golfe (CCG) en vue du prochain recensement de 2020. L’autre question consiste notamment à savoir si, pour les pays du CCG, l’approche d’une gouvernance électronique fournit une solution de rechange viable à l’approche scandinave classique au RR.

Published: August 2018

Mutations in theclk-1gene impair mitochondrial ubiquinone biosynthesis and extend the lifespan inCaenorhabditis elegans. We demonstrate here that this life extension is linked to the repression of cytoplasmic mRNA translation, independent of the alleged nuclear form of CLK-1.Clk-1mutations inhibit polyribosome formation similarly todaf-2mutations that dampen insulin signaling. Comparisons of total versus polysomal RNAs inclk-1(qm30)mutants reveal a reduction in the translational efficiencies of mRNAs coding for elements of the translation machinery and an increase in those coding for the oxidative phosphorylation and autophagy pathways. Knocking down the transcription initiation factor TATA-binding protein-associated factor 4, a protein that becomes sequestered in the cytoplasm during early embryogenesis to induce transcriptional silencing, ameliorates theclk-1inhibition of polyribosome formation. These results underscore a prominent role for the repression of cytoplasmic protein synthesis in eukaryotic lifespan extension and suggest that mutations impairing mitochondrial function are able to exploit this repression similarly to reductions of insulin signaling. Moreover, this report reveals an unexpected role for TATA-binding protein-associated factor 4 as a repressor of polyribosome formation when ubiquinone biosynthesis is compromised.

Authors: González La Rotta Elsa Cristina , González Yazo Oswaldo , Becerra Fernández Mauricio
Published: August 2018

Este artículo presenta una revisión a la literatura del problema de ruteo de vehículos con componentes aleatorios: svrp (Stochastics Vehicle Routing Problem). A pesar de la atención reciente hacia los problemas de ruteo y la variedad de estudios al respecto, con este trabajo se pretende enfatizar en una tipología especial, la cual presenta uno o múltiples parámetros de carácter probabilístico o estocástico. Después de una búsqueda rigurosa en las bases de datos Science Direct, ebsco y Google Scholar, utilizando una
ventana de tiempo de los últimos diez años y clasificando dichas investigaciones, se logra establecer un concepto particular para este tipo de problemas de ruteo, sus clasificaciones y métodos de solución, lo cual resulta de gran ayuda para quienes desean investigar el tema, pues facilita la indagación acerca de enfoques de modelamiento y métodos de solución. Como conclusión principal, se determina que, debido a la complejidad de su solución, son menos los resultados y aplicaciones que contemplen este tipo de formulaciones, con respecto a las que presentan parámetros
deterministas; ofreciendo un amplio campo de trabajo para trabajos posteriores.
