O artigo teve como objetivo avaliar a toxicidade dos extratos produzidos a partir de sementes de Annona muricata seca sobre Brevicoryne brassicae no cultivo de couve (Brassica oleracea). Foram utilizadas quatro caldas para pulverização: água acrescida de adjuvante (®Tween 80), água com inseticida ®Decis 25 EC, água acrescida de extrato hexânico e água acrescida de extrato etanólico, ambos de Annona muricata, avaliando a mortalidade de Brevicoryne brassicae após 2 e 24h de pulverizadas. Os testes foram feitos de 3 formas: pulverização em contato direto com o inseto, pulverização em superfície natural (folha de couve) e pulverização em superfície artificial (papel). Foram utilizados 5 insetos em cada placa de Petri, em 6 repetições por tratamento, num esquema fatorial 4 (caldas) x 2 (tempos).  Para as ações testadas não houve uma diferença estatística entre os extratos e o produto químico comercial, porém o extrato hexânico de sementes secas de Annona muricata apresentou o melhor potencial ação inseticida a Brevicoryne brassicae em plantas de couve (Brassica oleracea L.).

Pode-se dizer que a sobrevivência e o desenvolvimento de Aphis craccivora Koch (Hemiptera: Aphididae) é afetado pelo tipo de planta hospedeira. Objetivou-se estimar os parâmetros demográficos do pulgão-preto (Aphis craccivora Koch) em cultivares de feijão-caupi (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) recomendadas para a colheita mecanizada no Brasil. Foram usadas as cultivares: BRS Pingo de Ouro, BRS Tumucumaque, BRS Itaim, BRS Nova Era, BRS Imponente e BRS Guariba. A cultivar VITA 7 fez parte do estudo na qualidade de padrão de susceptibilidade ao inseto. Foi formado uma coorte, onde cada cultivar teve 10 plantas como réplicas, e cada réplica recebeu um pulgão. Foram registrados diariamente o número de indivíduos vivos, o número de descendentes, os quais em seguida eram retirados e a longevidade dos insetos da coorte. A razão finita de crescimento (λ) do pulgão-preto nas cultivares BRS Nova Era, BRS Imponente, BRS Tumucumaque, VITA 7, BRS Itaim, BRS Pingo de Ouro e BRS Guariba foi, respectivamente, de 1,77, 1,74, 1,73, 1,73, 1,73, 1,71 e 1,16. Os dados sugerem que a cultivar BRS Guariba apresenta resistência do tipo antibiose frente ao pulgão-preto, e que possivelmente sua população não deve estar sujeita a surtos.

Political Interconnection in the Operation of Digital Terrestrial Free-to- Air Television Broadcasting
Authors: Rahayu Rahayu
Published: May 2018

Agent(s) role in the implementation of policies is frequently considered as the determining factor for the success of policy implementation. This is reflected quite clearly in the “principle- agent” theory that describes how self-interested agent influences the implementation process. However, is self-interested agent still relevant in explaining Indonesia’s broadcasting policy implementation? What if policy implementation involved many actors with their respective personal interests? How will agents position themselves amidst numerous personal interest- bearing actors? By using the political economy approach, this research aims to reveal the role of agents in the constellation of actors’ relation to Indonesia’s broadcasting policy implementation. The operation of digital terrestrial free-to-air television broadcasting case is used to provide a reflection of agents’ position and political behavior in responding to the interest among actors. This research was conducted using the qualitative approach by implementing the data collection technique through in-depth interviews and document analysis. The research result shows that broadcasting policy implementation is not merely influenced by a self-interested agent but is also influenced by political interconnection and multiple-principles’ political-economic interest.
Institutionalization of Ethical Principles to Overcome Ethical Dilemmas in the Public Sector
Authors: Krisnajaya I Made
Published: May 2018

Discussions on public sector ethics essentially cover three main issues. First, how to establish a theoretical argument capable of providing answers to queries about what is considered an ethical and unethical conducts in public sector management. Second, how to develop ethical instruments and standards capable of helping resolve ethical dilemmas that commonly occur in the public sector. Third, how to institutionalize ethical principles and instruments developed in public institutions. Both theoretical studies and empirical experiences indicate that the essence of the various forms of a dilemma in the public sector is the conflict between personal virtue and public virtue. These ethical dilemmas may be subdued by institutionalizing ethical principles in public institutions, and it basically involves two substantial activities, namely integration, and revitalization of ethical principles in public institutions. These ethical principles should be integrated within a system of conducts covering standard values and norms that serve as a reference in conducting oneself and in minimizing unethical conducts and in preventing maladministration in public sector management. Legal instruments remain necessary in order to ensure the effectiveness of ethical principles as a code of conduct for government personnel to carry out their tasks and functions. Of no less importance is the effort to improve leadership that highly reveres ethical principles in the public bureaucracy.

Authors: Šaric Mirza , Hivziefendić Jasna , Kevrić Jasmin
Published: May 2018

This paper presents a new algorithm for distribution system reconstruction planning based on Mamdani type fuzzy inference and BellmanZadeh multi criteria decision making method. The proposed algorithm takes system attributes as inputs (number of customers served by renewed infrastructure, energy losses, power demand and cost of investment) and returns crisp output values which are used as planning criteria. The aim of this paper is to provide a logical decision making framework which can be used to model, evaluate, and rank projects according to required criteria. The proposed model is flexible and can be extended to include additional planning criteria. The proposed method
is tested on a realistic distribution system to demonstrate its relevance. It is expected that this paper will make a contribution toward more effective management of power distribution network planning process and that it will be used by planning engineers in practical problems.
Falling weight impact test of a new-type flexible rock-shed
Authors: Yang Jianrong , Zhang Zhiyu
Published: May 2018

A new concept of a flexible rock-shed is presented for protection of the
railway from falling rocks. The flexible rock-shed is made of flexible
nets connected by specific spring spacer bars to an array of reinforced
concrete portable frames which are linked by a longitudinal steel tube
truss. To evaluate the performance of the flexible rock-shed,
experimental and numerical studies are carried out in the present study.
Impact tests are conducted on a full-scale partial model of the
prototype structure when it is subjected to a falling block of 340 kg.
The impact time interval, maximum deflection of the flexible net,
tensile forces in the supporting ropes, and axial strains of spring
spacer bars are recorded. To further examine the dynamic behavior of the
flexible rock-shed, numerical simulations are also carried out by using
the explicit finite element code ANSYS/LS-DYNA. It is found that the
numerical results coincide well with the experimental data and both the
numerical and experimental studies reveal that the structure can
withstand impact energy of 50 kJ with all the materials working in the
elastic range. The structural details are improved and the basis for the
design and construction of similar structures in the future is
provided.
Active disturbance rejection control for heavy cargo airdrop operations
Authors: Zhao Shiwei , Wang Dong , Liu Ri , Sun Xiuxia
Published: May 2018

In view of the strong nonlinear and coupling characteristics of the airdrop operations, a novel control method is proposed based on the active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) for decoupling control strategy of the pitch angle and airspeed. The unknown disturbances, including aerodynamic uncertainty and nonlinear coupling effect between the aircraft and cargo dynamics, are estimated and compensated with the extended state observer (ESO). Meanwhile, the nonlinear law state error feedback (NLSEF) is adopted to restrain the compensation residual. Simulation and flight quality evaluation shows the satisfactory capacity
and strong robustness of the proposed control method in guaranteeing the airdrop task and flight safety.

Authors: Guo Xiaotao , Wang Xing , Zhou Dongqing , Wang Yubing
Published: May 2018

This paper proposes a novel sequential identification method for enhancing the anti-jamming performance and for accurate recognition rate
of the emitters’ individual identification in the complicated environment. The proposed method integrates the D-S evidence theory and features extraction that can get the utmost out of features of information systems and decrease the influence of uncertain factors in the signal processing. Firstly, selected features are extracted from intercepted signals. Then, the proposed self-adaptive fusing rule based on the decision vector is utilized to fuse the evidences that are transformed by features and the previous fusing information. Finally, recognition results can be obtained by judgment rules. The simulation analysis demonstrates that self-adaptive fusing rule can achieve a great
balance between computational efficiency and accurate identifying rate.
While comparing with other identifying methods, the proposed sequential
identifying method can provide more accurate and stable recognition results, which makes the utmost care and use of existing information.
Improving ultra wideband (UWB) system by modified random combination of pulses
Authors: Goyal Vikas , Dhaliwal B.S.
Published: May 2018

Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology uses very narrow pulses of nano-seconds duration to provide very high data rates. The pulses to be used for the UWB are very important and should meet the emission mask regulatory requirements to get good performance when transmitted over the channel. To meet these requirements, a combination of higher order derivatives of
Gaussian pulses can be considered to form a combined pulse instead of transmitting them separately. The main aim of this paper is to improve the performance of Ultra Wideband (UWB) multiple access modulation system with a newly Proposed combined pulse, generated using a modified random pulse combining of the first five Gaussian derivative pulses with
optimal shaping factors as basic functions. In order to meet the UWB power spectrum regulations, the power spectral utilization of the newly designed pulse is calculated and the bit error rate performance of the pulse position modulation time hopping system using the newly proposed pulse is analyzed in a multi-path channel environment using RAKE receiver. The simulation results carried out in MATLAB software shows that the new proposed combined pulse has higher pulse energy matching the spectral limits of UWB and an improved bit error rate performance as
compared to the previous literature results.

The paper offers an overall analysis of the level and dynamics of accounts receivable at Ukrainian enterprises by types of economic activity. A critical role in accounts receivable management is assigned to identification of factors affecting its occurrence. Hence, the factors of internal and external environment that may influence the size of receivables and provide the information basis for managerial decisions to reduce its net volume and simultaneously its share within the current assets have been explored. During the study, modern system theories in the area of finance and financial management as well as statistical analysis methods, in particular, comparative analysis and statistical comparisons methods were employed. The factors affecting their increase in the current assets have been revealed. Management solutions to resolve the above issues based on the factors facilitating prompt collection of receivables have been proposed. It is argued that accounts receivable makes a specific form of lending without interest, expiry date, and penalties. For its maintenance it is recommended to apply an interest rate and set payment term, and in the case of breaching the contract – to charge a fine. Regardless of the choice of the method of accounts receivable management, it is important to consider the impact factors (both external and internal). Receivables management will be effective only when the company will pay due attention to the specific characteristics of the above asset, its classification features, and identify the most significant factors that may affect its size in future.

Authors: GÜLTEKİN Rohat , ERTEK Ahmet
Published: May 2018

This study was conducted to determine the effects of deficit irrigation on tuber growth and quality of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). Certified seeds of potato variety “Agria” were used as study material. Irrigation treatments was consisted of one irrigation interval (5 days) and five different levels (I100, I85, I70, I55, I40) of soil water deficit measured before irrigations. First irrigation was applied by drip irrigation up to field capacity the soil water content in 0-60 cm depth in all treatments. Subsequent irrigations were applied according to the treatments. 

The irrigation water and evapotranspiration (ET) values of treatments ranged from 243.0 to 311.9.4 mm and from 337.1 to 385.9 mm in the first year, respectively, and from 166.7 to 223.2 mm and from 204.0 to 255.7 mm in the second year, respectively. Yields varied from 30.85 to 47.13 t/ha in the first year and from 28.77 to 44.45 t/ha in the second year. The yields were decreased based on water deficit levels. The highest yields were obtained from I100 treatment.

The results have indicated that water restriction had a significant effect on yield, single tuber weight, percentage of marketable tuber, plant length, mean tuber length, mean tuber diameter and percentage of tuber peeling. The results were showing that the I100 treatment in especially was of the most importance for the highest percentage marketable tuber and tuber yield obtained per unit water applied. Therefore, the I100 treatment can be recommended for potato cultivation under similar climatic and soil conditions.

Different patterns of livelihood are found in different places within same community or different communities over the generation. Therefore livelihood strategy is a changing process of an individual or a household level of economic and social activities in order to fulfill daily livelihood needs. This paper seeks to explore the changing rural livelihood strategies of a community in mountain region of Nepal. The study is mainly based on primary data collected from field survey, focus group discussion (FGD) and key informant interview (KII). Questionnaire survey was conducted within 52 households by applying random sampling method. Likewise five KII and three FGDs were conducted and participants belonged to different field i.e. ward chairperson, ward women member, businessmen, wage labor, farmer and social worker. The finding indicates that livelihood strategies are changing rapidly in the rural areas. Similarly, multiple sources of income of a household have resulted into secured livelihood system in Goljung. Despite the fact that the agriculture with livestock farming was an important traditional source of livelihood in the past, the roles of non-agricultural sectors have become significant for livelihood sustaining in the rural community in Goljung, Rasuwa in the present days. After a decade, development of the hydro-electricity projects and trade route between Nepal and China has played the catalyst role for changing rural livelihoods of local people in this village. The Third Pole: Journal of GeographyVol. 17: 20-36, 2017

Authors: Dhakal Bhola Nath
Published: May 2018

In the present paper an attempt has been made to assess the spatial variation in the level of agriculture development in the Western Development Region of Nepal. Nine variables are used in determining the level of agricultural development. Those are net sown area, cropping intensity, crops productivity, irrigated area, use of High Yield Variety (HYV) seeds, chemical fertilizer (NPK) consumption, agricultural implements, agricultural labours and support from commercial and development banks. Besides, districts are classified as their respective categories viz. high, medium and low on the basis of scores (like mean and SD) of these variables. These analyses have been carried out by transforming and combining the data related to nine variables, using ‘Z’ score to get the composite ‘Z’ score. On the basis of composite score, developments of districts have been again categorized into three categories i.e. high, medium and low. On an aggregate four districts range their composite Z-score value above 0.1, are highly developed districts, six districts fall under medium category (value ranged from -0.25 to 0.1) and remaining six districts lie under low category having their composite Z-score below -0.25. The Third Pole: Journal of GeographyVol. 17: 59-72, 2017
Disaster Risk Management: From Preparedness to Response in Thecho of Kathmandu Valley, Nepal
Authors: Maharjan Sony , Shrestha Shova
Published: May 2018

Disaster preparedness is one of the component of disaster risk management among Prevention, Mitigation, Preparedness and Response (FAO, 2008) . Earthquake is one of the most destructive natural hazards, which occur at any time causing disaster. The current study explores the status of earthquake disaster awareness and preparedness in ward number 12 of Godawari Municipality (previously, Thecho VDC). The study is based on pre and post-earthquake disaster survey of 25 April, 2015 through household questionnaire survey, KIS, FGD and field observation. The study found that although majority of households are aware and have knowledge of earthquake, preparedness at both household and community level was very low before the earthquake. Saving money was the most practiced emergency preparedness whereas only five percent households have emergency kit for the disaster. The knowledge on awareness and preparedness rose from eighty percent before earthquake to ninety-two percent after the earthquake. Similarly, perception on vulnerability of human loss and physical property rose from seventy-three percent to ninety-five percent. Individual household and community role was identified as key for disaster risk reduction and survival strategy (e.g. arrangement of emergency kit) which rose from five percent to ninety-five percent after earthquake. The study revealed that people were aware and have knowledge on earthquake disaster but preparedness strategies are not implemented neither existed any disaster response plans at household or community level. People’s risk acceptance and preparedness is determined by direct event experience in contrast to risk perception of potential disaster. Earthquake risk reduction and implementation of the action plan at community level is important. It is concluded that media and local organizations could play major role in awareness on preparedness whereas individual household and community are key for implementing the preparedness strategies to reduce disaster loss and damage. Knowledge, awareness and preparedness at individual household level are key and most effective for reducing earthquake vulnerability at local level.The Third Pole: Journal of GeographyVol. 17: 98-108, 2017

A osteoartrite é um dos distúrbios do sistema osteoarticular mais comuns, chegando a atingir cerca de 15% da população mundial. Seu tratamento convencional é feito com medicamentos analgésicos e anti-inflamatórios que possuem risco de efeitos adversos, como ulcerações gastrointestinais, eventos hemorrágicos e nefrotoxicidade. Vislumbrando novas alternativas de tratamento, esta revisão buscou evidências científicas em estudos clínicos feitos em humanos com as espécies vegetais Boswellia serrata Roxb., Harpagophytum procumben DC. e Curcuma longa L. em pacientes com osteoartrite. Os resultados observados com o uso da B. serrata foram alívio rápido da dor, redução da rigidez e recuperação da habilidade funcional articular, bem como sua segurança de uso em humanos, até mesmo por períodos prolongados. O extrato da cúrcuma-doméstica foi tão eficiente quanto o ibuprofeno no manejo da AO de joelho, os efeitos colaterais foram similares, porém com menos relatos de distúrbios gastrointestinais no grupo da cúrcuma-doméstica. O uso do Harpagophytum procumbens reduziu ou cessou o uso de analgésicos em 60% dos pacientes estudados, sendo comparado à diacereína. Os resultados encontrados nos apresentam um cenário muito promissor em se tratando de opções eficientes, acessíveis e seguras para o tratamento dos pacientes com problemas osteoarticulares, trazendo maior segurança de uso porserem plantas de uso tradicional e milenar em algumas culturas.

A Equisetum arvense conhecida popularmente como cavalinha é uma planta que apresenta diversas propriedades e indicações, dentre elas: atividade diurética e adstringente do trato geniturinário, remineralizante, cicatrizante e reparadora dos tecidos ósseos e da pele. Dessa forma, considerando o crescente uso de ativos cosméticos de origem vegetal e tendo em vista a carência de pesquisas científicas sobre o mecanismo de ação destes ativos, este trabalho avaliou a ação de diferentes concentrações do extrato bruto hidroalcoólico de Equisetum arvense na proliferação de fibroblastos em diferentes períodos de tempo, além de mensurar os níveis de colágeno. Neste sentido, nossos resultados sugerem que a E. arvense na concentração de 1000ug/mL aumentou a proliferação de fibroblastos humanos, além de aumentar, embora não significativamente a quantidade de colágeno destas células. Por fim, nossos resultados nos permitem sugerir o uso da E. arvense também como auxiliar na regeneração tecidual, assim como agente capaz de melhorar a síntese de colágeno cutâneo.

Aim of this article put forward that Ptolemaios’ (M.Ö. 305-30) has
maintained dynasty system, which reflected ancient Egypth politics and religion
tradition. All of Ptolemaios’ like ancient period Egypth emperors had seen
themselves as inheritor of Pharaoh from the beginning period of dynasty and had
appliedsuch as politics. It would discuss how this political tradition work
within Ptolemaios Dynasty, which was last one of Egypth, how successful were
emperors and how reflect their religion politics in the public eye. In this
way, it would emphasize that Egypth traditional politics, which had been lasted
from first emperor of Ptolemaios Dynasty named Ptolemaios I to last queen
Cleopatra VII. So, the role of Egypt local tradition over emperors of
Ptolemaios, who put themselves as Pharaoh-king/queen, god-king or
goddess-queen, has been tried to understand. In other words, it has been
revealed what gain emperor of Ptolemaios by application of religion politics
depending upon adoring. It was said that divinity of king or queen had been
realized by impelementing emperor cult, which was regarded by dynasty.
Ptolemaios emperors, who thought tradition of emperor divinity had significant
role over their legitimacy, paid attention to Egypth religion both getting
community affection and strenghtening their politics. In a manner of speaking,
dynasty, who might convince its community to her/his politics, had
unproblematically governed their public, who was under their souvereignty. So,

Türkiye’nin Akdeniz kıyısında Akdeniz Bölgesi’nin Antalya Bölümü’nde
bulunmaktadır. Antalya’nın bir ilçesi olan Manavgat 36o 38ı
22ıı ve 37o 25ı 45ıı kuzey
enlemleri ile 31o 02ı 25ıı ve 31o
44ı 35ıı doğu boylamları arasında konumlanmıştır. İlçenin
yüz ölçümü 2 283 km2’dir.Araştırmanın
öncelikli amacı; Manavgat’taki alternatif
turizm potansiyelini ortaya koyarak turizmin bu faaliyet biçiminin
geliştirilmesi yönünde ne gibi çabaların olabileceğinin saptanmasıdır.
Çalışmanın diğer amacı ise; sahada başlamış olan alternatif turizm
faaliyetlerinin uzun vadeli etkilerinin neler olabileceğinin ortaya
konulmasıdır.Diğer turizm bölgelerinde
de görüldüğü gibi sahada önde gelen etkilerden birisi olarak finansal etki
büyük önem taşımaktadır. Araştırma sahasında turizmin ekonomik etkilerinden
yararlanmak isteyen yöre halkı haklı olarak turizmin en fazla bu yönü ile
ilgilenmektedir. O nedenle sahada turizmin birçok olumsuz etkisi yanında ön
plana çıkanı çevresel etkileridir. Sahada çevresel etkilerin; katı atık
kirlenmesi, su kirlenmesi, doğal görünümün turizm tesisleri ile bozulması gibi
birçok yönünden bahsedilebilir. Çalışma sahasında çevresel etkilerin neler
olduğu tam olarak ortaya konularak bu sorunların çözüm yollarının saptanması
büyük önem taşımaktadır.Türkiye’de, 1980’li yıllarda turizm patlamasının yaşandığı yerlerden
birisi olan Manavgat’ta; şelaleler, plajlar, mağaralar, akarsular, yaylalar,
birçok bitki ve yaban hayvanı türleri ilçenin alternatif turizme yönelmesinde
büyük oranda etkili olmuştur.

Araştırma sahasındaki turizm
faaliyetlerinde alternatif turizmin
katkısının gittikçe arttığı görülmektedir. Ekolojik yürüyüş, salcılık, yayla
turizmi, av turizmi, dağ yürüyüşü gibi faaliyetler sahada geliştirilebilecek
olan en önemli alternatif turizm faaliyetleri olarak dikkati çeker.
ÜSTÜ-HÜRE FESTİVALİ: TUVALARIN DİNİ İNANIŞLARI VE HALK MÜZİĞİ
Authors: Kulmanova Aidana
Published: May 2018

Tuva
Türkleri, Budist ve şamanist olmak üzere iki dini inanca sahiptir. Günümüzde
Tuva Budizm’i resmi din olarak kabul eden tek Türk topluluğudur. Budizm ve
Şamanizm’in bir arada uyum içinde yaşamasındaki en büyük etken, Tuvaların
tabiata duyulan saygıdır. Tuva’da Sovyetler Birliğinin ardında yapılan
Üstü-Hüre Festivalinde dini inanşların yeniden canlanması, bir hayat tarzının
başlangıcı olmuştur. Üstü-Hüre Festivali’nin kutlanması SSCB döneminde, ne
geldikleri yöreden, ne oraya ait deneyimlerinden ne de inanşların kendine özgü
yapısından bağımsız olamamıştır. Geleneğin yeniden üretimi sürecinde bir
taraftan bir şeyler yeniden üretilerek geleceğe aktarılırken diğer taraftan
ortaya çıkan yeni şartlar biçiminde gerçekleşen yeniden üretim nedeniyle
gelecek özgün bir formda inşâ olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, SSCB sonrası döneminde
yeniden canlandırılan Üstü-Hüre Festival’i araştırılmaktadır. 

Üstü-Hüre,
Tuvaların kültürel-dini pratiklerden yola çıkılarak şamanizm ve Budizm bir  arada kutlanan festivaldir. Bu festivalde,
Tuvaların söylenen modernleşen müzikleri ve yapılan dini inanışları da yazılacaktır.
Makalenin yazınsal incelenmesinde Tuva ve Rusya araştırmacıları hariç Batı
seyahatçileri tarafından yapılan çalışmaları da içerir. Bununla birlikte, 8-28
Temmuz 2017 yılının arasında Tuva’da yapılan alan araştırmalarına
dayanılmaktadır.

Antioxidant is a defence mechanism in thehuman body preventing the
occurence of oxygen types and the damage generated by them. They are used for
neutralizing free radicals. The presence of antioxidants activity indicates the
presence of the defense mechanism against the various diseases in the human
body. In
this study, activities of for the first time synthesized benzimidazole
compounds antioxidant activities are investigated spectrophotometrically. The
antioxidant activities of benzimidazole derivatives were investigated by
different antioxidant tests such as DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS
radical scavenging activity and reducing power. All results were compared with
synthetic antioxidants such as BHT and Trolox. As the
result of the study, antioxidant activity level of the compounds especially 2, 5, 6a, 6b and 7b which are benzimidazole derivatives are found higher extent too

The Best Management
Practices (BMP), designed to reduce the adverse impacts of urbanization and
population growth and make more use of rainwater, are built to design
water-sensitive cities. With these applications, it is aimed to reduce the
amount of runoff increasing due to urbanization, to increase the amount of
water infiltrating into the ground, to delay the peak discharge formation, to
decrease the peak discharge and to increase the water quality. Swales are one
of these practices and it is advisable to use them extensively because they are
important contributions to maximum benefit from rainwater. As the swales are
economical and easier to apply than other rainwater systems, today its
importance increases. In this study, the capacity calculations of the swales,
the design parameters, the construction and maintenance costs of the swales are
explained in detail and an example calculation of the swale is given. In this
way, it is aimed to contribute to spreading the applications of the swale in
our country.

in commercial drug samples were successfully performed by using ribavirin
selective microsensor.
“Be Prepared!” (But Not Too Prepared)
Authors: Andrew Lucy
Published: May 2018

This article examines the shifting representation of the ideal of masculinity and boys’ role in securing the future of the British Empire in Robert Baden-Powell’s Boy Scout movement from its inauguration in 1908 to the early years of World War I. In particular, it focuses on early Scout literature’s response to anxieties about physical deterioration, exacerbated by the 1904 Report of the Inter-Departmental Committee on Physical Deterioration. In Baden-Powell’s Scouting handbook, Scouting for Boys (1908), and in early editions of The Scout—the official magazine of the Scout movement—there was a strong emphasis on an idealized image of the male body, which implicitly prepared Boy Scouts for their future role as soldiers. The reality of war, however, forced Scouting literature to acknowledge the restrictions placed upon boys in wartime and to redefine the parameters of boys’ heroic role in defense of the empire accordingly.
Social Representations of Masculinity in Mexican Youth’s Creative Narratives
Authors: Singelton Robyn , Carter Jacqueline , Alencar Tatianna , Piñeirúa-Menéndez Alicia , Winskell Kate
Published: May 2018

A study of 50 narratives (16 male-authored, 34 female-authored, ages 13–16) contributed to a scriptwriting competition by Mexican youth from Oaxaca State was undertaken to understand youth social representations of hegemonic masculinity. Representations of masculinity manifested within three domains: substance use, companionate or abusive relationships, and economic roles. Positively portrayed male characters maintained companionate relationships and economically provided for loved ones. Rejection of abusive rural male characters who misuse financial resources occurred via condemnatory language and tragic outcomes. The young authors highlight financial control as a key element of Mexican masculinity, but this control goes unchallenged if dependents benefit. The rejection of a macho hegemonic masculinity in favor of a companionate relationship model mirrors historic trends in Mexico regarding migration, gender, class, and modernity.
