Seasonal changes in background levels of deuterium and oxygen-18 proves water drinking by harp seals, which affects the use of the DLW method
Authors: Nordøy Erling S. , Lager Anne R. , Schots Pauke C.
Published: October 2017

The aim of the study was to monitor seasonal changes in stable isotopes of pool freshwater, and harp seal (Phoca groenlandica) body water, and to study if these potential seasonal changes might bias results of using the doubly labeled water (DLW) method when measuring energy expenditure in animals with access to fresh water. Seasonal changes in the background levels of deuterium and oxygen-18 in the body water of four captive harp seals and in the freshwater pool in which they were kept, were measured over a time period of one year. The seals were offered daily amounts of capelin and kept under a seasonal photoperiod of 69° N. Large seasonal variations of deuterium and oxygen-18 in the pool water was measured, and the isotope abundance in body water showed similar seasonal changes as the pool water. This shows that the seals were continuously equilibrating with surrounding water due to significant daily water drinking.

Variations in background levels of deuterium and oxygen-18 in freshwater sources may be due to seasonal changes in physical processes such as precipitation and evaporation that may cause fractionation of isotopes. Rapid and abrupt changes in the background levels of deuterium and oxygen-18 may complicate calculation of energy expenditure by use of the DLW method. It is therefore strongly recommended to perform analysis of seasonal changes in background levels of isotopes before the DLW method is applied on (free-ranging) animals, and to use a control group in order to correct for changes in background levels.
A short review on the potential of coffee husk gasification for sustainable energy in Uganda
Authors: Miito Gilbert John , Banadda Noble
Published: October 2017

Agricultural biomass is widely recognized as a clean and renewable energy source, with increasing potential to replace conventional fossil fuels in the energy market. Uganda, like other developing countries, has a high dependency (91%) on wood fuel, leading to environmental degradation. With a coffee production of 233 Metric Tonnes per annum, relating to 46.6 Mega Tonnes of coffee husks from processing, transforming these husks into syngas through gasification can contribute to resolving the existing energy challenges. The objective of this article is to briefly review the energy potential of coffee husks through gasification, and how the gasification process could increase energy recoveries for coffee farmers. Previous  findings indicate that the 46.6 Mega Tonnes per year of coffee husks generated in Uganda, with a heating value of 18.34 MJ/kg, is capable of generating 24 GWh of energy. This will address a 0.7% portion of the energy situation in Uganda, while protecting the environment.

Published: October 2017

Background: Renal impairment is regularly seen in hospitalized stroke patients, affecting the outcome of patients, as well as causing difficulties in their management. A prospective cohort study was conducted to assess the trend of renal function in hospitalized ischemic and haemorrhagic stroke patients. The incidence of renal impairment in these subgroups, the contributing factors and the need for renal replacement in renal impaired patients was evaluated.

Methods: Alternate day renal function testing was performed in hospitalized stroke patients. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (e-GFR) was calculated and the trend of renal function in the two stroke subgroups (haemorrhagic and ischemic) was assessed, with renal impairment defined as e-GFR < 60mL/ minute per 1.73m2.

Results: Among 52 patients, 25 had haemorrhagic stroke (mean age 59.81 ± 14.67) and 27 had ischemic stroke (mean age 56.12 ± 13.08). The mean e-GFR (mL/minute per 1.732m2) at admission in the haemorrhagic stroke subgroup was 64.79 ± 25.85 compared to 86.04 ± 26.09 in the ischemic stroke subgroup (p=0.005). Sixteen out of 25 (64%) patients in the haemorrhagic stroke subgroup and 9 out of 27 (33.3%) patients in the ischemic subgroup developed renal impairment (p=0.027). The location of the bleed (p=0.8), volume of hematoma (p=0.966) and surgical intervention (p=0.4) did not predispose the patients to renal impairment. One out of 16 patients with haemorrhagic stroke (who eventually died), and 2 out of 9 patients with ischemic stroke required renal replacement.

Conclusion: Renal impairment is commonly seen in stroke patients, more so in patients who suffered haemorrhagic strokes.  The impairment, however, is transient and rarely requires renal replacement therapy.
How apomictic taxa are treated in current taxonomy: A review
Authors: Majeský Ľuboš , Krahulec František , Vašut Radim J.
Published: October 2017

Gametophytic apomixis (asexual seed formation without syngamy of female and male gametes) is a highly interesting mechanism for researchers in plant biotechnology, genetics, evolutionary biology, and taxonomy. Apomixis evolved repeatedly and independently in the evolution of multiple genera. It is an effective reproduction barrier and, consequently, conserved apomictic genotypes may become overrepresented in nature. Apomictic plants may easily colonize free niches with only one or a few individuals and outcompete outcrossing plants. In spite of the indisputable pros of asexual reproduction, apomixis also has several cons. One of the most commonly mentioned is the accumulation of deleterious mutations in asexual lineages and decreased genetic variation. However, apomicts in general can be genetically highly diverse. The most common sources of this variation are the accumulation of mutations, hybridization with sexual plants, and facultative apomixis. Facultative apomicts are highly variable in their level of residual sexuality, which increases their genotypic and phenotypic variation. Even in the case of obligate apomicts, gene flow is possible due to functional male meiosis and the production of viable pollen grains by apomicts. Apomixis occurs in plant genera in which hybridization together with polyploidization play an important role in diversification and causes severe problems in taxonomy. How to accommodate apomictic taxa in taxonomic treatments, and understanding what should and what should not be referred to as a species are intriguing questions. This review aims to provide an overview of the main characteristics of “apomictic genera” and the approaches used to treat apomictic taxa within these genera. To achieve this aim, the review was divided into several parts. Firstly, the distinctive features of apomictic reproduction and apomictic taxa are described together with issues related to the taxonomic evaluation of apomictic taxa. The second part discusses approaches in the known apomictic genera, and the final part presents the authors’ view on important points, which need to be taken into account in the classification of apomictic taxa.
Multi‐locus phylogeny of Ludwigia (Onagraceae): Insights on infra‐ generic relationships and the current classification of the genus
Authors: Liu Shih-Hui , Hoch Peter C. , Diazgranados Mauricio , Raven Peter H. , Barber Janet C.
Published: October 2017

Ludwigia (Onagraceae) is a worldwide wetland genus with 83 species currently classified as members of 23 sec­ tions. Past studies have documented the morphological diversity and complex evolutionary history. Here we provide the first comprehensive molecular phylogeny of Ludwigia, using our new data to examine the existing evolutionary hypotheses. We employed both nuclear (ITS, waxy) and chloroplast (rps16, rpl16, trnL‐trnF, trnL‐CD, trnG) DNA regions for this study. Our results suggest that the North Temperate haplostemonous (NTH) group and a second group that includes all other species of Ludwigia(clade B) form strongly supported sister clades. In the NTH group, a monophyletic sect. Ludwigia is sister to the Microcarpium complex, but sect. Microcarpium and sect. Isnardia are not monophyletic. In clade B, the multi‐species sec­ tions Jussiaea and Macrocarpon are well‐supported monophyletic clades, but others, including the largest sect. Myrtocarpus, are not monophyletic. In sum, this first molecular phylogeny of Ludwigia clarifies and supports several major relationships in the genus but also highlights parts of the classification that should be changed. Our results imply that allopolyploidy played an important role in the evolutionary history of the genus, giving rise to complex patterns of relationships that are not yet adequately reflected in the classification.
On the Issue of Genetically-Cultural Foundations of Human Existence
Authors: Волков А. , Volkov A.
Published: October 2017

Borrowing his arguments from genetics and cross-cultural studies, the author reveals the problematic nature of the phenomenon of genetic determinism. The thesis such as: a) all the necessary «information» for the development of an organism resides in its genes; b) genes are the exclusive means by which this information is transmitted from one generation to the next; c) there is no meaningful feedback from the environment or the experience of the organism to its genes are under critical investigation. The author seeks to show that genetic and cultural factors are complementary in understanding of human being development. The author pays special attention for a person's ability to go beyond the local cultural identity and thereby keep an open mind to other cultures and traditions.

Published: October 2017

This article reflects the results of a theoretical understanding of the problem of spiritual-moral formation of personality. Relying on the method of theoretical analysis, we note the fact very long and sustained interest of representatives of various branches of anthropology to this issue. Fundamental research in this area was carried out by philosophers, culturologists, sociologists, the results of whose researches, from our point of view, can be regarded as a theoretical, methodological bases for the development of the problem of education of spirituality and morality of the individual from the standpoint of pedagogy. No of less important for the development of technological approaches to optimization of the process of spiritually-moral education of personality you are the works of psychologists. It was the psychologists, analyzing the essential characteristics of spirituality and morals in the first place, bind them with the attitude of the subject, both to the world and to ourselves; associate spirituality and morality as the cognitive and affective processes. The allocation of the spectrum of characteristics that reflect the essence of spirituality and morality of the individual, will allow, from our point of view, to optimize the process of developing technological approaches to solving this problem.

The article presents the results of a study of the psychological perception of time as a factor of social adaptation of persons with disabilities. This study is a part of study of the peculiarities of perception of physical variables: time and space - by persons with disabilities. Its purpose is the development of psycho-pedagogical methods of correction of perception and orientation in time and space in people with disabilities. To assess the psychological perception of time the person the methodology was applied, reflecting the understanding by a man his life segments (past, present and future). The authors have developed the technique of "Scale definitions shades" to represent the respondents received estimates. The results of studies of the psychological perception of time show that persons with disabilities perceive the disabilities and the period of their lives more negative, intensely, in dark colors than those from healthy conventionally group. The perception of its past due in people with disabilities since the emergence of mental and physical defects (birth or acquired) and painted in their representation in the "dark" tone as a period of critical events in their lives. This occurs quite monotonous, passive, grey. The future, as demonstrated by the results of the study, is the lightest, full of hope for the improvement of their position. Perception of life and psychological time periods personality is reflected in his social adaptation, complicating the process for persons with disabilities.

Phenomenology As a Strategy of Resistance to the Medicalization Attitudes
Authors: Минеев В. , Mineev V.
Published: October 2017

Topicality of the issue is determined with medicalization being an important part of social, political technologies. This article is aimed to demonstrate a political background of medicalization, and respectively a potency of the philosophical-phenomenological approach as a strategy of resistance. The methods of logical analysis, etymological analysis, as well as hermeneutics are applied. This study provides with a new understanding of the nature of medicalization, thus allows to ground a conclusion that the opposition “health – disease” is distorted within the framework of the medical-political discourse, as well as to explain why an incorrect definition of health is still in use in the WHO documents.
Central Limit Theorems for Aggregate Efficiency
Authors: Simar Léopold , Zelenyuk Valentin
Published: October 2017

Applied researchers in the field of efficiency and productivity analysis often need to estimate and make inference about aggregate efficiency, such as industry efficiency or aggregate efficiency of a group of distinct firms within an industry (e.g., public versus private firms, regulated versus unregulated firms, etc.). While there are approaches to obtain point estimates for such important measures, no asymptotic theory has been derived for it. This is the gap in the literature we fill with this paper. Specifically, we develop full asymptotic theory for aggregate efficiency measures when the individual true efficiency scores being aggregated are observed as well as when they are unobserved and estimated via the data envelopment analysis or the free disposal hull. As a result, the developed theory opens a path for more accurate and theoretically better grounded statistical inference (e.g., estimation of confidence intervals and conducting statistical tests) on aggregate efficiency estimates such as industry efficiency, etc.

Authors: El Kharrassi Y. , Mazri M.A. , Sedra M.H. , Mabrouk A. , Nasser B . , El Mzouri E.
Published: October 2017

The genetic diversity within and among 124 accessions of Opuntia spp. collected from different regions of Morocco was assessed using morphological descriptors and molecular markers. Based on 10 morphological traits, the accessions were separated into 3 main clusters; each cluster was containing accessions from different regions and species. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was then performed on 22 accessions from different regions and species, with 10 inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) primers and one random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primer. ISSR primers produced 66 bands overall, 64 (96.9 %) of which were polymorphic while 6 bands were generated by the RAPD marker, all polymorphic. The polymorphic information content (PIC) values ranged from 0.62 to 0.97, with an average of 0.82. The dendrogram of genetic differences generated using the unweighted pair-group method using arithmetic averages (UPGMA) method showed 7 different clusters at a similarity of 0.76, which was confirmed by the principal component analysis (PCA). The main conclusion of our work is the high genetic similarity between Opuntia ficus indica and Opuntia megacantha species in Morocco. Our results will be useful for plant breeding and genetic resource conservation programs.

Published: October 2017

Purpose

Spine surgeons have increasingly used intraoperative application of topical vancomycin powder (TVP) to prevent surgical site infections (SSIs). The goals of this study were to define the rate of pharmacological adverse reaction to TVP in young patients undergoing posterior spinal surgery and to summarise institutional variation in TVP dosing.

Methods

This retrospective observational study included ten spine centres in the United States and one in Europe. Patients with early onset scoliosis who underwent posterior spine surgery were eligible for inclusion. Age, weight, TVP dose and surgery type were recorded. Surgeries where patient age was > 12 years were excluded. Pharmacological adverse reactions were defined as clinical instances of Red Man Syndrome, rash, nephrotoxicity, proteinuria, hepatotoxicity or ototoxicity. The rate of pharmacological adverse reaction to TVP was calculated. Dosing practices were summarised.

Results

Patient age was in the range of seven months to 12 years (median ten years). Of 1398 observations, there was one possible pharmacological adverse reaction. This was in a ten-year-old, 20.4-kg female patient with neuromuscular sco-liosis undergoing growing rod implantation. She was dosed with 1500 mg of TVP and immediately developed a transient rash without systemic symptoms. This abated over minutes without any medical intervention. There were no other adverse reactions in the sample. The population rate of pharmacological adverse reaction was 0.072% (95% confidence interval 0 to 0.4). Significant variability in dosing practices existed between centres.

Conclusion

Pharmacological adverse reactions to TVP are rare. Future work may establish evidence-based guidelines for TVP dosing based on patient weight and other variables.
Keeping expertise in its place: understanding arm’s-length bodies as boundary organisations
Authors: Boswell John
Published: October 2017

Policy and administration scholars have struggled to explain the waxing and waning of arm’s-length bodies over time and across contexts. This article draws on the science and technology studies’s concept of boundary work – understood as practices which both demarcate and enable collaboration across distinct areas of expertise – to help explain variation in these institutional arrangements. Conceptualising arm’s-length bodies as boundary organisations shows how their authority rests on their capacity to enable ongoing coordination while preserving the authority and autonomy of relevant expert spheres. The article demonstrates this analytical purchase through reference to two cases in contemporary British government.
Researching ‘Punk Indonesia’: Notes towards a non-exploitative insider methodology
Authors: Donaghey Jim
Published: October 2017

Researching punk from an insider perspective throws up important challenges, and in the context of Indonesia these issues are further complicated and intensified. This article draws on the author’s experience of, and reflections on, the process of researching ‘punk Indonesia’,
augmented with reflective contributions from nine other social theorists, ethnographers and anthropologists, to suggest a research methodology that is dialogical and non-exploitative while remaining rigorous, analytical and critical. The academy’s relationship to punk has often been
identified as intrusive and exploitative – and with good reason – but it is argued here that academic research into punk can be included within punk’s own tradition of self-critique, especially when that research emerges from insider perspectives. The lessons learned from
insider perspectives may also be mapped effectively onto outsider approaches. A non-exploitative methodology is concerned with both research processes and research outputs, and these two aspects are closely entwined. Anarchist epistemological concerns are taken on board, along with engagements
with Orientalism and Grounded Theory Method, to develop an approach that gives voice to the punks, involving them in a dialogical research process and creating research outputs that are useful to the scenes, cultures and movements that are being researched, while maintaining a high level of
academic rigour, analysis and critique.
Effectiveness of Subsidies in Technology Adoption: A Case Study Involving Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membrane Technology
Authors: Laili Nur , Febrianda Rendi , Surminah Iin
Published: October 2017

Adoption of new technologies is a process that involves technological learning and penetration of new products into the market. Within the process of new technologies adoption, government usually intervened by providing incentives, in order to support the technology adoption to be succeed. This paper examines the effectiveness of incentives for the sustainability of reverse osmosis (RO) membrane technology adoption. The study conducted through single case study on SWRO installation in Mandangin Island, East Java, Indonesia. Results of case study indentify the existence of government incentive in the form of direct subsidies to decrease the price of clean water. Although successful in reducing the price of water, but effectiveness of the subsidy on the sustainability of SWRO is still low, which is operates only 30% in a year. Further analysis shows that these subsidies actually be counter-productive to the sustainability of SWRO installation.

Attitudes and concerns of doctors and nurses about using a translation application for in-hospital brief interactions with Korean patients
Authors: Day Karen Jean , Song Nicole
Published: October 2017

Background: New Zealand is becoming more ethnically diverse, with rising numbers of people with limited English language proficiency. Consequently, hospital interactions are increasing where patients have insufficient English to communicate adequately with doctors or nurses for appropriate, effective, and safe care. Translation technology is rapidly evolving, but evidence is limited regarding its usefulness to clinicians.Objective: To examine the acceptability to doctors and nurses of a translation application (app) used on a tablet, in brief interactions with Korean patients.Method: An app was developed to facilitate brief conversations between patients and clinicians as part of clinical care. We used the Technology Acceptance Model 2 to develop semi-structured interview questions for 15 junior and senior doctors and nurses in an urban hospital. Participants used the app to interact with the interviewer as part of a scenario. The interviews were analysed thematically.Results: The app was easy to use, learn to use, and to memorise for future use. It was considered useful for everyday brief interactions, urgent situations where there is no time to call an interpreter, and after hours, to augment the work of interpreters. Subject to perceived usefulness, there appears to be little need for social normalisation of a translation app, other than management support for the costs, maintenance, and implementation of the app for everyday use.  Conclusion: Guidelines are required for the use of a translation app by doctors and nurses to augment the interpreter role. A larger study and future research on the patient’s perspective are required.
An Informatics Approach to Interprofessional Management of Low Back Pain: A Feasibility Study using the Omaha System
Authors: Austin Robin R. , Monsen Karen A. , Schulz Craig
Published: October 2017

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a complex health care issue that often involves multiple providers across various care settings. Health information technology (HIT) holds promise to improve care delivery by providing infrastructure for communication, clinical documentation, and management of patient data. Standardized terminology is essential for interoperability and enables evaluation of clinical data generated by documentation in an electronic health record (EHR).Objective: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of mapping evidence-based practice for conservative management of low back pain to the Omaha System and foster inter-professional communication and collaboration among diverse practitioners and patients.Methods: Evidence-based practice (EBP) guidelines for non-invasive treatment of low back pain were mapped to the Omaha System using a clinical expert approach with attention to content feasibility, linguistic validity, and granularity of terms. Results: A clinical guideline for low back pain management was developed consisting of 13 interventions for Pain and Neuro-musculo-skeletal problems. The most common intervention categories were Case management followed by Treatments and procedures, Teaching, guidance, and counseling and Surveillance. Scope of practice overlap was identified between primary care, chiropractic, and physical therapy practice.Conclusion: Use of the guideline may facilitate clinical documentation using the Omaha System for low back pain management, and has potential to generate meaningful data to evaluate clinical effectiveness and promote quality research. The use of encoded EBP evidence within an EHR can increase use of available evidence, enable interprofessional communication, improve quality of care, and enhance usability of data across care settings.

Este texto utiliza los conceptos de localidad y barrio para explicar el modo en que la escena musical de la cueca urbana de Santiago de Chile crea eventos espacializados que van más allá de la dicotomía campo-ciudad. Se busca demostrar el modo en que este baile territorializa la identidad urbana creando una memoria geográfica desde los barrios, así como explicar de qué manera la performance sirve como medio para criticar la configuración actual del espacio público y a través de ella se resiste la planificación urbana de Santiago. El texto expone primero los conceptos de “localidad”, “lugar” y “ciudad” para luego detallar las políticas de planificación urbana de Santiago del último medio siglo, explicar la importancia de los lugares en la performance y sociabilidad, describir la importancia del concepto de barrio y, finalmente, ejemplificar con un evento de cueca los argumentos anteriores. palabras clave: cueca; espacio; identidad.
Teatro, tráfico negreiro e política no Rio de Janeiro imperial (1845-1858): os casos de Luiz Carlos Martins Penna e José Bernardino de Sá

Utilizando como fontes principais as atas da Câmara dos Deputados, os folhetins líricos, as cartas da diretoria do Teatro de São Pedro de Alcântara e os autos da Questão Villa Nova do Minho, este artigo pretende desvelar a rede da qual faziam parte políticos, artistas e empresários teatrais do Rio de Janeiro imperial, na época em que o tráfico negreiro foi totalmente proibido. As duas figuras principais contempladas serão o dramaturgo e músico Luiz Carlos Martins Penna (1815-1848) e o barão, visconde e traficante negreiro português José Bernardino de Sá (c. 1802-1855), presidente da diretoria do Teatro de São Pedro de Alcântara, onde a maioria das comédias de Martins Penna foi encenada. O período abordado no texto é iniciado quando duas de suas comédias são censuradas, sendo finalizado com a disputa judicial pela vultosa herança de José Bernardino de Sá.Palavras-chave: comédia; escravidão negra; censura.
A escrita de si stanislavskiana: quatro notas sobre Minha vida na arte
Authors: De Gusmão Henrique Buarque
Published: October 2017

O livro Minha vida na arte, do diretor russo Constantin Stanislavski, é aqui analisado a partir da possível relação entre a “escrita de si” operacionalizada por seu autor e o “trabalho do ator sobre si mesmo” levado adiante pelo próprio Stanislavski em sua prática teatral. O artigo discute os dispositivos formais que tornam possível a construção de um personagem autobiográfico nessa narrativa (a noção idealista de arte, condições históricas específicas e, finalmente, a descrição do personagem), percebendo como, no desenvolvimento do enredo, ocorre uma fusão entre a voz do narrador e a voz do personagem. Tal fusão parece indicar uma das operações primordiais que os atores deveriam realizar para atingir a espontaneidade que o personagem busca ao longo de todo o livro em suas diversas experiências cênicas. Assim, recorrendo a ferramentas da crítica literária, da teoria da História e dos estudos teatrais, avança-se na hipótese de que o trabalho que Stanislavski propõe a seus atores passa, necessariamente, por um tipo de escrita que encontra no romance moderno a sua grande inspiração.Palavras-chave: Constantin Stanislavski; teatro; autobiografia.
Dias Gomes entre textos e cenas: a construção e a reconstrução de um autor
Authors: Paranhos Kátia Rodrigues
Published: October 2017

As balizas temporais que enquadram e classificam as obras de um autor estão associadas a processos de demarcação de seu sentido que se revelam muitas vezes móveis e fugidios. Nessas operações, empreende-se um trabalho de apropriação e reapropriação de seu significado por vezes estranho às intenções que guiaram os autores dessa ou daquela obra. Dias Gomes e sua produção teatral não escaparam, obviamente, a determinadas periodizações e classificações que implicam, no fundo, maneiras de ver e editar que procedem a construções e reconstruções várias, quando não a desconstruções. Neste artigo, pretendo examinar a trajetória do dramaturgo Dias Gomes tendo como referências básicas os textos teatrais e os livros lançados pelas editoras Civilização Brasileira, nos anos 1970, e Bertrand Brasil, na década de 1980.Palavras-chave: Dias Gomes; autoria; edições.
De leões sem garras e homens eruditos: visões do masculino em Lésbia (1890), de Maria Benedita Câmara Bormann (Délia)
Authors: Da Silva Evander Ruthieri
Published: October 2017

O artigo se propõe analisar a construção das masculinidades no romance Lésbia (1890), de Délia, pseudônimo literário de Maria Benedita Câmara Bormann (1853-1895). A trama narra a formação e a trajetória ficcional de uma romancista brasileira, por meio da qual a autora delata os estigmas sociais que recaem sobre as mulheres, sobretudo das classes médias, que anseiam pela inserção em carreiras profissionais no fin-de-siècle brasileiro. A multiplicidade de perfis masculinos delineados na narrativa possibilita a reflexão a respeito do modo como Bormann problematiza a construção dos modelos predominantes de virilidade na passagem para o período republicano no Brasil oitocentista, bem como seus impactos sobre as hierarquias e contrastes de gênero. Por um lado, indica as apropriações críticas de elementos do naturalismo no escrutínio de perfis de masculinidade compreendidos pela romancista como vaidosos e mesquinhos, violentos e irresponsáveis; por outro, sugere a possibilidade de outras vivências do masculino, demarcados pela erudição e sensibilidade, capazes de cultivar relações menos verticalizadas com mulheres, baseadas na paixão e na valorização do intelecto.Palavras-chave: História e Literatura; Maria Benedita Câmara Bormann; Lésbia.
Terceira margem: sintomas antimodernos no Rio da Prata
Authors: De Souza Fábio Feltrin
Published: October 2017

O objetivo deste ensaio é problematizar as noções de modernidade que circulavam nas décadas de 1830 e 1840 na região do Rio da Prata, examinando os sintomas e os saberes compreendidos como antimodernos. Para isso, tenciona- se cotejar os escritos dos intelectuais argentinos da “geração” de 1837 e seus interlocutores com as reflexões de teóricos como Antoine Compagnon e Raúl Antelo. Desse modo, pretende-se propor outra genealogia da modernidade, diferente do que a tradição crítica apontou, restaurando seu caráter heterogêneo e aberto.Palavras-chave: Rio daPrata; século XIX; antimodernidade.
A problem of coefficient determination in parabolic equations solved as moment problem
Authors: Pintarelli Maria Beatriz
Published: October 2017

The problem is to find a(t) y w(x; t) such that wt = a(t) (wx)x+r(x; t) under the initial condition w(x; 0) =fi(x) and the boundary conditions w(0; t) = 0 ; wx(0; t) = wx(1; t)+alfa w(1; t) about a region D ={(x; t); 0 <x < 1; t >0}. In addition it must be fulfilled the integral of w (x, t) with respect to x is equal to E(t) where fi(x) , r(x; t) and E(t) are known functions and alfa is an arbitrary real number other than zero.The objective is to solve the problem as an application of the inverse moment problem. We will find an approximated solution and bounds for the error of the estimated solution using the techniques on moments problem. In addition, the method is illustrated with several examples.

О задаче оптимального управления коэффициентами эллиптического уравнения

Published: October 2017

В данной работе рассматривается задача оптимального управления для линейного эллиптического уравнения второго порядка. Управляющие функции входят в коэффициенты уравнения для состояния, в том числе в коэффициенты при старших производных. Пространство управлений является произведением пространств Соболева и Лебега. Функционалом цели является сумма интегралов по области и по части ее границы. Исследованы вопросы корректности постановки задачи в слабой топологии пространства управлений. Доказано, что множество оптимальных управлений задачи не пусто, слабо компактно и любая минимизирующая последовательность функционала цели слабо сходится в пространстве управлений к множеству оптимальных управлений. Приведены примеры, показывающие, что решение рассматриваемой задачи может быть не единственным и минимизирующая последовательность функционала цели может не иметь предела в сильной топологии пространства управлений. Доказана дифференцируемость по Фреше функционала цели и найдено выражение для его градиента. Установлено необходимое условие оптимальности в виде вариационного неравенства.
Анализ общих свойств кривых ползучести при циклических ступенчатых нагружениях, порождаемых линейной теорией наследственности
Authors: Хохлов Андрей Владимирович , Khokhlov Andrew Vladimirovich
Published: October 2017

Аналитически изучены общие свойства кривых ползучести, порождаемых линейным определяющим соотношением вязкоупругости с произвольной функцией ползучести при циклических двухступенчатых нагружениях с произвольным коэффициентом асимметрии цикла. Исследованы интервалы монотонности и выпуклости циклических кривых ползучести, поведение последовательностей максимальных и минимальных значений деформации в каждом цикле и их полусуммы (условия их ограниченности, монотонности, сходимости), их отклонение от обычной кривой ползучести при среднем напряжении цикла, условия моделирования циклического упрочнения и разупрочнения, а также зависимость всех обнаруженных свойств от характеристик функции ползучести и параметров цикла нагружения.
Для импульсных (отнулевых), симметричных и произвольных циклических ступенчатых нагружений выведены общие формулы и точные двусторонние оценки для максимальных и минимальных значений деформации в каждом цикле и их пределов, для отклонения кривой циклической ползучести от обычной кривой ползучести при среднем напряжении цикла, для скорости накопления пластической (необратимой) деформации и рэтчетинга. Выявлена ключевая роль выпуклости вверх функции ползучести и величины предела еe производной на бесконечности; в частности, доказано, что равенство этого предела нулю является критерием отсутствия накопления пластической деформации при циклических нагружениях и критерием асимптотической симметризации отклонения деформации от кривой ползучести для среднего напряжения.
На основе сравнения обнаруженных свойств теоретических кривых с типичными свойствами экспериментальных кривых ползучести вязкоупругопластичных материалов при ступенчатых нагружениях изучены возможности линейной теории вязкоупругости по описанию различных эффектов, наблюдаемых при циклических ступенчатых нагружениях, сферы влияния общих качественных характеристик функции ползучести и способы идентификации и настройки определяющего соотношения. В частности, доказано, что линейное соотношение вязкоупругости с произвольной функцией ползучести моделирует отсутствие рэтчетинга (и убывание последовательности модулей полусумм максимального и минимального значений деформации в каждом цикле) при симметричных циклических нагружениях, а при наложении симметричного (ступенчатого) циклического возмущения на постоянную нагрузку не происходит ускорения ползучести по сравнению с ползучестью при среднем напряжении.

Об одной краевой задаче с операторами Сайго для уравнения смешанного типа
Authors: Репин Олег Александрович , Repin Oleg Aleksandrovich
Published: October 2017

В силу прикладной важности теория уравнений смешанного типа является одним из важнейших разделов теории уравнений с частными производными. Это обусловлено тем, что уравнения смешанного типа непосредственно связаны с проблемами теории сингулярных интегральных уравнений, интегральных преобразований и специальных функций.
Актуальным продолжением исследований в этих областях будет доказательство однозначной разрешимости внутреннекраевой задачи, когда в гиперболической части области задано условие, связывающее обобщенные производные и интегралы дробного порядка с гипергеометрической функцией Гаусса от значений решения на характеристике искомого уравнения.
