Estimating the Cost of Biofuel Use to Mitigate International Air Transport Emissions: A Case Study in Palau and Seychelles
Authors: Hong Yijun , Cui Huijuan , Dai Junhu , Ge Quansheng
Published: June 2019

International air transport is one of the fast-growing sources of CO2 emissions. However, it has always been omitted from the international emission mitigation pledges. The delayed mitigation process in this area may slow down the process of global CO2 emission control. In this article, we evaluated the potential to realize the emission mitigation targets in air transport through biofuel and estimated the corresponding cost. The emission from international air transport of Palau and Seychelles was taken as the example. Then, the emission caused by each airline to these two islands was calculated by the distance-based method, with information of the travelers’ arrival data, fuel consumption of different aircraft types, routes, and aircraft seat data. Future scenarios with and without commitment to CO2 mitigation targets were predicted to evaluate the emission difference. Then, we estimated the amount of biofuel required to fill the emission gap, and the corresponding cost based on the future biofuel price prediction. The results show that distance is the determining factor of international air transport emission per capita. The component of origin can decrease the aggregated emission per capita to small island destinations by 0.5–2%. The accumulated emission gaps are 3.15 Mt and 9 Mt for Palau and Seychelles, which indicates that 7.64 and 19.34 Mb of biofuel are needed for emission mitigation, respectively. The corresponding costs are $27–163 million and $72–424 million per year.
Potential Therapeutic Applications of Bee Venom on Skin Disease and Its Mechanisms: A Literature Review
Authors: Kim Haejoong , Park Soo-Yeon , Lee Gihyun
Published: June 2019

Skin is larger than any other organ in humans. Like other organs, various bacterial, viral, and inflammatory diseases, as well as cancer, affect the skin. Skin diseases like acne, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis often reduce the quality of life seriously. Therefore, effective treatment of skin disorders is important despite them not being life-threatening. Conventional medicines for skin diseases include corticosteroids and antimicrobial drugs, which are effective in treating many inflammatory and infectious skin diseases; however, there are growing concerns about the side effects of these therapies, especially during long-term use in relapsing or intractable diseases. Hence, many researchers are trying to develop alternative treatments, especially from natural sources, to resolve these limitations. Bee venom (BV) is an attractive candidate because many experimental and clinical reports show that BV exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, anti-fibrotic, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and anticancer effects. Here, we review the therapeutic applications of BV in skin diseases, including acne, alopecia, atopic dermatitis, melanoma, morphea, photoaging, psoriasis, wounds, wrinkles, and vitiligo. Moreover, we explore the therapeutic mechanisms of BV in the treatment of skin diseases and killing effects of BV on skin disease-causing pathogens, including bacteria, fungi and viruses.

A remarkable percentage of acute gastroenteritis cases remain etiologically undiagnosed. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of common and emerging enteric viruses, such as novel human astroviruses, among undiagnosed samples from children with acute gastroenteritis. Epidemiological studies for novel human astroviruses are still scarce. Stool samples collected over two consecutive winter seasons (2016–2017) from children with gastroenteritis in Spain, which were negative for bacteria, rotavirus, and adenovirus by routine diagnostics were screened by real-time RT-PCR assays for the presence of classical and novel astrovirus, rotavirus, norovirus GI and GII, sapovirus, and adenovirus. Overall, 220/384 stool samples (57.3%) were positive for at least one virus. Co-infections were identified in 21% of cases. Among a total of 315 viruses identified, adenovirus was the most prevalent (n = 103), followed by rotavirus (n = 51), sapovirus (n = 50), classical astrovirus (n = 43), novel astroviruses (n = 42), and norovirus (n = 26). Novel astroviruses were present in 13.3% of virus-positive cases. Most novel astroviruses were found in children <2-year-old (30/39 children, 77%, p = 0.01) and were found in co-infection (66%). Only classical astroviruses demonstrated significant differences in the Cq values during mono-infections compared to co-infections. In conclusion, common enteric viruses may be frequently found in children with undiagnosed gastroenteritis, indicating the need to implement more sensitive diagnostic methods. Novel astroviruses circulate in the community and could be the cause of gastroenteritis among young children.
An Endorheic Lake in a Changing Climate: Geochemical Investigations at Lake Trasimeno (Italy)
Authors: Frondini Francesco , Dragoni Walter , Morgantini Nicola , Donnini Marco , Cardellini Carlo , Caliro Stefano , Melillo Massimo , Chiodini Giovanni
Published: June 2019

Lake Trasimeno is a shallow, endorheic lake located in central Italy. It is the fourth Italian largest lake and is one of the largest endorheic basins in western Europe. Because of its shallow depth and the absence of natural outflows, the lake, in historical times, alternated from periods of floods to strong decreases of the water level during periods of prolonged drought. Lake water is characterised by a NaCl composition and relatively high salinity. The geochemical and isotopic monitoring of lake water from 2006 to 2018 shows the presence of well-defined seasonal trends, strictly correlated to precipitation regime and evaporation. These trends are clearly highlighted by the isotopic composition of lake water (δ18O and δD) and by the variations of dissolved mobile species. In the long term, a progressive warming of lake water and a strong increase of total dissolved inorganic solids have been observed, indicating Lake Trasimeno as a paradigmatic example of how climate change can cause large variations of water quality and quantity. Furthermore, the rate of variation of lake water temperature is very close to the rate of variation of land-surface air temperature, LSAT, suggesting that shallow endorheic lakes can be used as a proxy for global warming measurements.
A Time-Integrated Index for Flood Risk to Resistance Capacity
Authors: Rezende Osvaldo M. , Guimarães Luciana F. , Miranda Francis M. , Haddad Assed N. , Miguez Marcelo G.
Published: June 2019

The lack of open spaces and the intense land use occupation in flood plains makes floods in consolidated urban areas difficult to mitigate. In these areas, setting a standard pre-defined return period for projects can limit and even preclude flood mitigation actions. However, it is possible to propose flood control alternatives that are compatible with available spaces. Thus, determining how much the original risk is reduced and how significant the residual risk can be becomes the main target. In this context, a time-integrated index for risk to resistance capacity is proposed to address these questions. This index correlates the exposure of buildings and urban infrastructure to the hazard of a given flood and is then evaluated over a project horizon through a sequence of events. The proposed index is applied to the Canal do Mangue catchment, a highly urbanized watershed located in Rio de Janeiro. The results demonstrate the difficulty of designing flood mitigation measures in extremely occupied watersheds and the importance of evaluating residual risks associated with proposed projects. As an additional result, a scenario with concentrated measures is compared to another with distributed interventions, evidencing the greater coverage of the latter.
Links between Teleconnection Patterns and Water Level Regime of Selected Polish Lakes
Authors: Plewa Katarzyna , Perz Adam , Wrzesiński Dariusz
Published: June 2019

The paper identifies relationships between lake water levels and indices of macroscale atmospheric circulations: Arctic Oscillation (AO), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), East Atlantic (EA), and Scandinavian pattern (SCAND). Correlation coefficients between synchronous and asynchronous series of monthly water levels and 4 circulation indices were calculated. Based on Ward hierarchical grouping considering 156 correlation coefficients, the groups of lakes were designated due to the strength and term of relation of circulation indices with lake water levels. It was found that these links are not strong but noticeable. The strength of relationships varies in space and time, and the designated groups of lakes refer not only to the climatic diversity of the studied area, but also to some extent to the types of water levels regime. The observed relationships are the most important in the case of AO and NAO (particularly in winter period), and slightly weaker for EA and SCAND. The analysis used mean monthly water levels of 15 lakes in northern Poland from 1976–2015.

Authors: Lestari Setyani Dwi , Mariah Mariah , Iswanti Heni , Riyanto Umbar
Published: June 2019

Objective – Banks are financial intermediaries which are vital to support the economy of a country. Banks can be interpreted as the financial institutions whose activities are collecting funds from the community, distributing the funds back to the community, and providing other banking services. The development and improvement of service quality from the banks should be the center of public attention. This is because of the tight competition in terms of quality of the services, products, and marketing strategies undertaken by the banks. In an environment of tight competition, the top priorities of service companies such as banks are customer satisfaction and excellent service quality in order to improve customer loyalty and word-of-mouth behavior. This research aims to study, analyze, and explore the effect of product, service, and customer satisfaction on word-of-mouth (WOM) behavior at PT Bank Jakarta.
Methodology/Technique –The models used in this research is a descriptive and associative model using SPSS 19. This study uses a simple random sampling technique with a total sample of 80 people. The research instrument used as a measuring tool in this study is a questionnaire consisting of 40 statements.
Findings & Novelty – The result of this research show that product (X1), service (X2), and customer satisfaction (X3) simultaneously affect word-of-mouth behavior (Y). The results conclude that PT Bank Windu Kentjana International Tbk Jakarta should improve the quality of its products and services delivered to its customers and prospective customers in order to build their loyalty and improve their word-of-mouth.

Published: June 2019

Currently, the study of religious coping is one of the main lines of research in psychology of religion. Since there is a lack of instruments in the Argentinean context, this study aims to adapt and validate the Brief Religious Coping Scale (B-RCOPE), one of the most widely used techniques for empirical evaluation. 200 students of both genders from secondary catholic schools in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires participated in this study.According to our results, confirmatory factor analysis presents an adequate fit to the data, similar to those reported in other studies. Internal consistency was acceptable for both positive and negative coping. Results indicate that B-RCOPE has adequate psychometric characteristics for use within an Argentinean context.
Dimensionalidad de un Test de Conducta Prosocial
Authors: Auné Sofía Esmeralda , Attorresi Horacio Félix
Published: June 2019

Prosocial behavior is regarded as positive social conduct with or without altruistic motivation. The realization of this type of behavior boosts self-esteem and contributes to the construction of support networks. The aim of this study was to analyze the dimensionality of the Prosocial Behavior Scale (ECP) by Aune, Abal, and Attorresi, comprising 28 items. An accidental sample of 692 individualswho responded to the ECP was selected from Gran Buenos Aires and Argentine provinces. Twenty-five cases were disregarded, as they were considered anomalous according to Mahalanobis distance. The study was carried out using Exploratory Factor Analysis based on a polychoric correlation matrix with promax rotation. Parallel Analysis procedure was chosen to determine thenumber of factors, which was estimated by the method of non-weighted least squares. A model of 15 items and two factors achieved adequate fit indices (GFI = .99, RMSR = .0384), accounting for 50.61% of the variance. These results are consistent with the literature, since items related to comfort were grouped by one of the factors, while items involving aid were grouped by the second factoranalyzed.

Published: June 2019

Mental health problems in children can affect their ability to develop emotional and cognitive resources. An early diagnosis of these problems is an excellent prevention strategy; therefore, it is necessary to have validated instruments.We proposed to standardize the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL 1½-5) in its Spanish version for parents.A methodological study was carried out on a sample of 541 preschool children from urban population of Argentina, n = 369 from the general population and n = 172 from a mental health clinical group. According to the results, the CBCL 1½-5 is appropriate to evaluate degrees of behavioral and emotional problems in early ages. The broad scales (total score, externalizing problems and internalizing problems) adequately discriminated between the clinical group and the general population group. The reliability of the instrument was corroborated by high degree of agreement between informants (parents), adequate values of internal consistency, high correlation values after 7 days (test-retest), and after 6 months (stability).The standarized CBCL 1½-5 allows an early detection of behavioral and emotional problems, improving the diagnosisof mental health problems in children.

Published: June 2019

In recent years, interest in studying Mindfulness and its relationship with subjective well-being has increased. In addition, evaluation of this construct is becoming more common in clinical practice, in order to design interventions to enhance physical and psychological health. In this study, the short version of Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory (FMI-14) has been translated and validated. Thestudy sample consisted of 200 Mexican individuals, from both university and non-university settings. The scale was analyzed with various statistical methods, including exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Four components of Mindfulness, hereby called attention, self-control, acceptance, and self-perception were found by using EFA. Subsequently, by using CFA, we found that this model had a good fit (CFI = .93; GFI = .93; AFGI = .89; SRMR = .05; RMSEA = .04). Finally, our results show that our instrument is reliable (? = .80) and valid to assess Mindfulness in Spanish-speaking population.
Matrices Progresivas de Raven: Percentiles para Preescolares Cubanos de entre 4 y 6 años

Published: June 2019

The Raven Progressive Matrices Test is an alterna-tive to assess intelligence in preschool children. This study attempted to determine percentiles in the Raven Matrices Test to assess Cuban children between 4 and 6 years old, to validate these percentiles regarding a Cuban cut-off point (Ramírez-Benítez et al., 2015) and to determine the psycho-metric properties of the test through item analysis. A total of 803 children (380 boys) were selected in 15 regular edu-cational institutions in the cities of Cienfuegos and Matan-zas, Cuba. The validity analysis between a Cuban cut-off point and the obtained percentiles indicated that these per-centiles should be used in practice with caution. However, percentiles allow for a more flexible assessment in children with neurodevelopmental disorder than the Cuban cut-off point from Ramírez-Benítez et al., 2015. Evidence supports adequacy of percentiles to assess Cuban preschool children, although further validity studies are required to support these findings.

The main goal of this study was to examine the ex-tent to which psychometric properties from the Basic Psy-chological Needs in Exercise Scale (BPNES) are invariant across samples of Argentine, Spanish and Colombian phys-ical education students. The questionnaire was distributed to 1153 students (44.6% male) from ages 13 to 16 (M = 14.68; SD = 1.09). Confirmatory factor analyses carried out in independent samples revealed suitable psychometric properties in the three samples. Multi-sample confirmatory factor analyses showed that factor structure, factor load-ings and intercepts can be considered invariant across the groups. However, residual variances were found to be dif-ferent across some of the samples. Findings are discussed in terms of internal consistency and differences observed be-tween the three samples. Findings support valid cross-cul-tural comparisons using BPNES.

Reliable and valid ways to measure fatigue are required in order to determine its prevalence and consequences. One of the methods widely used to measure fatigue is the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS; Krupp, LaRocca, Muir-Nash, & Steinberg, 1989). Thus, the purpose of this study was to validate this scale psychometrically in a culturally relevant manner, to identify whether its structure is the most appropriate through a confirmatory factor analysis, and to test the invariance by sex. Two groups of participants, inhabitants of Mexico City, were included in the present study, 150 for validation studies, and 220 for confirmatory factor analysis and invariance test studies. A structure with six items, ade-quate reliability (α = .93), goodness of fit [χ2(9) = 12.56, p = .183; CF1 = .99; RMSEA = .05] and invariance by sex was found. So, it is concluded that FSS is a reliable and valid measure of fatigue.

In this article evidence of validity was analyzed, based on the internal structure and reliability of the scores of the 11 items of the De Jong-Gierveld Loneliness Scale (DJGLS) in Peruvian adolescents. The study was carried out with a sample of 851 adolescents (M = 15.07 years old, SD. = 1.5) from schools in Metropolitan Lima. Factor analysis showed a two-dimensional oblique structure (social and emotional loneliness) with good indices of goodness of fit (CFI ≥ .90, RMSEA ≤ .08). Reliability was estimated using the omega coefficient (ω = .827), and considered as acceptable (≥ .70). It is concluded that the DJGLS shows adequate psychometric properties and can be considered a brief measure for the study of loneliness in Peruvian adoles-cents. Also, the use of DJGLS with this factorial structure allows a better knowledge of the individual and social factors involved in the development of loneliness.

Deletion inhibition constitutes an inhibitory kind which allows for the elimination of irrelevant information during the execution of a task. The instruments or tests for evaluating it are scarce. The aim of this work is to obtain evidence of construct validity using a computerized task from the TAC (cognitive auto-regulating task) to measure deletion inhibition. Fifty three adults (32 young adults and 21 older adults) participated in this study. The analyses car-ried out indicate that the task fulfills the assumptions of in-ternal structure and the maturational changes expected for this process. The task is an appropriate instrument for mea-suring deletion inhibition in young and older adults.
Adaptación de la Escala de Prosocialidad de Caprara en Adolescentes Argentinos

The aim of this work is to expose the metrical properties of the Salvadorian Right Wing Authoritarianism Scale (RWA), developed by Orellana (2017). Based on a sample of 421 inhabitants, 15 years of age and older (M = 39.2; DE = 17.2) from the San Salvador Metropolitan Area (SSMA), the scale is the product of a process of selection of questions already adapted or included in public opinion surveys or political culture polls. According to the Cronbach ´s Alpha coefficient, the scale presents a satisfactory total internal consistence (? = .83). A confirmatory factorial analysis evidences an adequately fitting model, that reproduces the recognized three-dimensional factorial structure of Altemeyer´s RWA (1996; construct validity). The scale correlates with certain constructs (e.g., dimensions of political culture, citizen insecurity and psychosocial dispositions as prejudice) in theoretical and empirical concordance with the former studies on authoritarianism (concurrent-criterion validity). Its characteristics and future ways of application are discussed.

Published: June 2019

School violence among peers has serious consequences for the victims. Victimization can be direct, through physical and verbal aggression, and relational, through exclusion and social rejection. The objective of this study wasto analyze the psychometric properties of the Peer School Victimization Scale (VE-I), which consists of 11 items related to different forms of victimization. 1389 adolescents (50.45% boys) ranging from 11 to 15 years old (M = 13.37, SD = 1.23) participated in this study. The structure of the scale was analyzed by means of exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis using two different subsamples. The results show the existence of three factors (physical victimization, verbal victimization and relational victimization), with reliability coefficients higher than ? = .70 and negative correlations with social self-concept and life satisfaction. The analyzed scale has adequate psychometric properties and can be useful in research and interventionsabout this topic.

The Job Demands-Resources model (Bakker & Demerouti, 2007) is currently an important framework in explaining health and motivational-related processes at work.The present study examined the psychometric properties ofthree scales measuring general personal resources previouslyvalidated in a sample of university students derived from the Social Cognitive theory related to the workplace: Scale of Perceived Social Support, Scale of Outcome Expectations and Scale of Goal Progress. Two hundred and twenty-three Argentinian workers participated in the study. Internal structure, criterion validity and reliability (Cronbach’s alpha and omega) were assessed. The results support the unidimensionality of the scales and theoretically relevant relations with the dimensions of burnout, engagement, positive emotions and job satisfaction as well as appropriate indicators of reliability. Practical implications of the findings are discussed.
Advantages of the Rasch Model for Analysis and Interpretation of Attitudes: the Case of the Benevolent Sexism Subscale
Authors: Zamora-Araya José Andrey , Smith-Castro Vanessa , Montero-Rojas Eiliana , Moreira-Mora Tania Elena
Published: June 2019

Este artículo describe cómo el uso del Análisis de Rasch (AR), comparado con la Teoría Clásica de los Tests (TCT) y otros modelos de Teoría de Respuesta a los Ítems (TRI), puede mejo-rar el estudio y la interpretación de escalas actitudinales. Esto se ilustra con datos de 197 estudiantes de la Universidad de Costa Rica que tomaron la escala de Sexismo Benevolente (SB; Glick & Fiske, 1996). Además de proveer estimaciones específicas de la precisión de la medición en diferentes niveles del constructo, el Análisis de Rasch, gracias al mapa de personas versus ítems, permitió generar perfiles de los participantes en términos de as-pectos particulares del constructo y de acuerdo con sus puntajes estimados en la escala. El análisis indicó que las categorías del constructo para participantes con puntajes entre [-0.30, 0.5] en la escala logit son las que están mejor representadas, con más ítems que cubren este intervalo y reflejan los tres aspectos de la esca-la descritos en la teoría. Por otro lado, los resultados mostraron menos precisión en la medición para un considerable número de participantes con puntajes más bajos, lo que sugiere la necesidad de desarrollar ítems adicionales para este nivel de la escala. Estas evidencias son discutidas a la luz de los beneficios de usar el AR para el entendimiento e interpretación de puntajes en escalas de actitud, de acuerdo con la teoría subyacente.
Validación de la Escala de Búsqueda de Sensaciones Sexuales en mexicanos casados o cohabitantes
Authors: Moral de la Rubia José
Published: June 2019

The objective of this study was to validate the 9-item Sexual Sensation Seeking Scale (SSSS-9) in a population of Mexican adults married or cohabiting with a partner of the opposite sex. A sample of 807 participants was collected (53.4% women and 46.6% men, 90.1% married and 9.9% cohabitants) from random sources. The SSSS-9, one scale of unfaithful behavior and other one of attitude toward marital exclusivity were applied. The SSSS-9 showed very high internal consistency. The number of factors was one through Horn’s parallel analysis. The one-factor model had a good fit and was valid across both sexes through confir-matory factor analysis. The distribution of SSSS-9 showed positive asymmetry. Its average was higher among men than among women. SSSS-9 had a high correlation with un-faithful behavior, and moderate with attitude toward marital exclusivity. It is concluded that the properties of SSSS-9 are better in this population than those reported with SSSS-11 in other populations.

Published: June 2019

The objective of this work was to evaluate the psychometric properties of a modified version of the Motivational Regulation Strategies Questionnaire of Wolters and Benzon (2013) in a sample of Argentinian university students. Thirty bilingual students answered the instrument in English and Spanish and the equivalence of the translation was analyzed. Spearman’s correlations between the original and the translated version were strong (.71 to .90), which showed the equivalence. Then, the adapted questionnaire (N = 329) was administered and its internal structure and internal consistency were analyzed. The exploratory factor analysis showed a questionnaire consisting of 37 items and eight factors. The scales showed good internal consistency indexes (? = .68 to ? = .95). The questionnaire evaluates value regulation, situational interest regulation, performance-approach regulation, performance-avoidance regulation, mastery-approach regulation, mastery-avoidance regulation, self-consequence, environmental structuring. The results and the need for new psychometric studies are discussed.
Validación de la Escala de Esperanza Disposicional para Adultos en Paraguay
Authors: Vuyk María Alexandra , Codas Gerónimo
Published: June 2019

Hace algunas décadas, la esperanza disposicional se propuso como un constructo bifactorial. Sin embargo, evidencia reciente sugiere que podría entenderse mejor con un modelo unifactorial. En el presente estudio, mediante análisis factoriales confirmatorios se probó el ajuste de estructuras unifactoriales, con dos factores correlacionados, con dos factores más un factor de segundo orden, y bifactor, de la Escala de Esperanza Disposicional para Adultos (Snyder et al., 1991), traducida al español y adaptada a la poblaciónparaguaya. Se realizó el cuestionario a 219 estudiantes universitarios de Paraguay (edad promedio de 23 años; DE = 3.717; 55 participantes de sexo masculino y 163 de sexo femenino). Los resultados indican un excelente ajustepara los tres modelos, considerándose preferible el modelo bifactor debido a que los índices complementarios indican que la escala es primariamente unidimensional. La escala demuestra propiedades psicométricas adecuadas para su uso en poblaciones latinoamericanas.
Analysis Of The First Pilar Community-Based Total Sanitation Implementation
Authors: Rusiandy H. , Rozi Veby Fransisca
Published: June 2019

The implementation of Community-Based Total Sanitation starts from the first pillar of open defecation which is the entrance to total sanitation. ODF conditions are marked by 100% of the community having access to Defecate in their own latrine, there is no dirt in their environment, and they are able to maintain the cleanliness of the latrine (Health Minister Regulation No.3 of 2014). In the City of Bengkulu, from 19/67 triggering  Village / Sub-district, achievements of the new ODF village 7 villages / Sub-district. The research objective was to analyze the implementation of the first pillar Community Based Total Sanitation. This type of research is qualitative research with descriptive research methods. The informants in this study amounted to 6 people consisting of the Head of the Community Health Center and sanitation officers. The results showed that in implementing the first pillar community-based total sanitation in Bengkulu City there was policy support from the government, namely the Republic of Indonesia Health Minister's Regulation No. 3 of 2014, there were still energy workers, funding sources for implementation came from Health Operational Assistance funds, availability of facilities and infrastructure in the form of brochures, leaflets, counseling, and FGD. The process was carried out starting from the pre-triggering phase by conducting technical preparations, observing Clean and Healthy Life Behavior, arranging triggering schedules and locations, triggering by holding meetings with the community, triggered by the outbreak of disease transmission, growing disgust, shame and fear of illness and post-triggering by looking at the village with ODF village status, building community commitment and mentoring and monitoring triggering activities. The output of the Village in the City of Bengkulu with the status of the SBS headman varies from 25%, 50%, and 100%. It is recommended to develop further analysis and results, in particular, to deepen the analysis of the implementation of the first pillar community-based total sanitation and the factors contributing to the success of ODF Villages.
Ultrafast processes triggered by one- and two-photon excitation of a photochromic and luminescent hydrazone
Authors: Iagatti Alessandro , Shao Baihao , Credi Alberto , Ventura Barbara , Aprahamian Ivan , Di Donato Mariangela
Published: June 2019

In this work we apply a combination of steady state and time resolved luminescence and absorption spectroscopies to investigate the excited-state dynamics of a recently developed molecular photoswitch, belonging to the hydrazone family. The outstanding properties of this molecule, involving fluorescence toggling, bistability, high isomerization quantum yield and non-negligible two-photon absorption cross section, make it very promising for numerous applications. Here we show that the light induced Z/E isomerization occurs on a fast <1 ps timescale in both toluene and acetonitrile, while the excited state lifetime decreases with increasing solvent polarity, suggesting a partial charge transfer nature of its low lying excited state. Time resolved luminescence measurements evidence the presence of a main emission component in the 500-520 nm spectral range, attributed to the Z isomer, and a very short living blue-shifted emission, attributed to the E isomer. Finally, transient absorption measurements performed upon far-red excitation are employed as an alternative method to determine the two-photon absorption cross-section of the molecule.
Influences of the area, shape and connectivity of coastal lakes on the taxonomic and functional diversity of fish communities in Southern Brazil

Published: June 2019

In this study we investigated the influence of landscape variables on the alpha taxonomic and functional diversity of fish communities in coastal lakes. We built an analytical framework that included possible causal connections among variables, which we analyzed using path analysis. We obtained landscape metrics for the area, shape and connectivity (estuary connectivity and primary connectivity to neighboring lakes) of 37 coastal lakes in the Tramandaí River Basin. We collected fish data from 49 species using standardized sampling with gillnets and obtained a set of traits related to dispersal abilities and food acquisition. The model that best explained the taxonomic diversity and functional richness took into account the shape of the lakes. Functional richness was also explained by estuary connectivity. Functional evenness and dispersion were not predicted by area or connectivity, but they were influenced by the abundant freshwater species. This indicates that all lakes support most of the regional functional diversity. The results highlight the importance of the dispersal process in this lake system and allow the conclusion that considering multiple diversity dimensions can aid the conservation of local and regional fish communities.
Faire place aux chiffres dans l’attention à soi
Authors: Dagiral Éric , Dessajan Séverine , Legon Tomas , Martin Olivier , Pharabod Anne-Sylvie , Proulx Serge
Published: June 2019

Loin d’interroger les usages des self-trackers – ces outils numériques de quantification personnelle – dans la perspective du mouvement californien du Quantified Self , cet article en étudie la cohérence dans le prolongement des techniques ordinaires de l’attention à soi. Sa proposition originale consiste à analyser les pratiques concrètes de quantifications personnelles par le prisme transverse du cycle de vie. Pour cela, il articule une enquête par questionnaire (n=1829) à une grande enquête qualitative (n=105). La première rend compte de la place conséquente des chiffres dans l’attention à soi : selon les classes d’âge, elle analyse les pratiques d’enquêtés qui sont entre 28 % et 43 % à conserver des traces numériques de soi, et dont 14 % à 27 % sont équipés d’un objet connecté de mesure. La seconde fouille l’entrelacement des enjeux qui sont au cœur de ces pratiques et montre que malgré la diversité des contextes individuels, les visées de la quantification de soi évoluent selon l’âge et le cycle de vie. Si la régulation d’une vie instable grâce aux automesures est un objectif répandu chez les plus jeunes, l’exigence de rationalisation des vies professionnelle, domestique et personnelle devient souvent centrale dans les usages de quantification après la naissance des enfants et cède la place, après 50 ans, à un souci de prévention contre les menaces de l’avancée en âge.

Published: June 2019

L’université française possède une façon propre de pratiquer la philosophie, aussi bien dans ses travaux théoriques que dans ses exercices scolaires : il s’agit d’élaborer une position personnelle à travers une traversée de l’histoire de la philosophie. Cette tradition nationale remonte à Victor Cousin ; elle faisait partie de la stratégie pour construire une philosophie au service de l’État mais indépendante de l’Église.
