Authors: Lemaitre Ruiz Ximena , Corzo Gerald Augusto , Santos German Ricardo , Angarita Hector Andres
Published: September 2018

Water management is a complex problem that relates to human and physical variables that are very hard to predict, there is a cultural and social and human driven variables (Agricultural practices, Cities growth and others) that are hard to capture into the complex interactions of the water allocation and the hydrological system.

This research presents a new novel yet simple system that integrates information from river basin social and hydrological variables in an online system for decision support. The concept developed so far represents the Magdalena river system in Colombia, and allows to simulate and to share ideas. A communication bar includes a score of goodness provided by decision makers such that a level of agreement between actors can be achieved. Aside of this, the system is made open source such that other river basin can be set up and even other hydrological modelling systems can be plugged in.
Study on Optimization of the Operation of Dams Using Ensemble Prediction and a Distributed Rainfall-Runoff Model
Authors: Oishi Satoru , Tahara Toshihiko , Ogawa Mariko
Published: September 2018

Recently, heavy rain by typhoon increases risk of disaster everywhere in Japan. There has been considerable interest to improve the flood control function of dams by prior releasing because an action plan was enacted to fully use the existing hydraulic structures to prevent flood disasters. Carrying out prior releasing has a risk in terms of water supply purpose, in other words, it may cause artificial drought. Therefore, it should be taken into consideration that releasing larger amount of water than rain gives water shortage. In the present study, we suggested the method of dam operation based on rainfall forecast including prior releasing considering the risk in terms of water supply purpose. Concretely, first, we investigated that it could estimate the accuracy of forecasted accumulated rainfall based on Global Spectral Model (GSM) by adding the information of spreads calculated by Weekly Ensemble Prediction System (WEPS) in the Yodo river basin. Second, accumulated rainfall based on GSM errors using gamma distribution was analyzed. Third, the method of dam operation based on rainfall forecast including prior releasing was applied to past examples and the effect was verified. As a result, peak discharge in Hirakata point was reduced than normal operation in case of rainfall prediction was accurate.
High-Performance Integrated hydrodynamic Modelling of Storm Induced Floods at a Catchment Scale
Authors: Xia Xilin , Liang Qiuhua , Ming Xiaodong
Published: September 2018

Flooding is one of the most common types of natural hazards. The current practice of large-scale fluvial flood modelling relies on the use of hydrological models to predict upstream discharge hydrograph to drive inundation modelling at downstream. However, the oversimplified representation of both catchment topographies and hydraulics make hydrological models heavily rely on model parameterisation and calibration. This makes the modelling strategy unsuitable for prediction of extreme events featured with highly transient hydraulic processes, for which high-quality hydrological data is commonly missing to support model parameterisation and calibration. In this paper, the High-Performance Integrated hydrodynamic Modelling System (HiPIMS) has been adapted and applied to the whole 2500 km2 Eden catchment in the UK to reproduce the flood event caused by Storm Desmond in December, 2015. Without necessity of intensive calibration and using hydrographs as boundary conditions, satisfactory results have been obtained for both inundation extent and water level time series in channels, in comparison with observations. Accelerated by multiple modern graphic processing units (GPUs), the model runs more than 20 times faster than real time for the simulation of the whole catchment at 20m resolution. The results successfully demonstrate HiPIMS as a promising tool for real-time flood forecasting and flood risk assessment.

Authors: Wang Yuankun , Wang Dong , Shi Xiaorui
Published: September 2018

Based on sample entropy, we investigated spatial distribution and dynamic change of runoff series complexity with the long-term daily runoff series of main stem in the Yangtze River. The results showed that, complexity of the runoff series show an obvious spatial difference, and an increasing trend from upstream to downstream in the Yangtze River. There are negative relationship between average of runoff sliding window and the corresponding sample entropy, and their peak-to-valley value shows the well corresponding relationships. Complexity of the runoff series at Yichang and Datong stations show a continuous increasing trend, while that of Hankou station an increasing trend after 2000. It could provide scientific reference for understanding of runoff series dynamic evolution in the Yangtze River.

Authors: Monti Alessandro , Omidyeganeh Mohammad , Pinelli Alfredo
Published: September 2018

A large-eddy simulation over a fully submerged, rigid canopy in an open-channel flow under transitional canopy flow regime has been carried out. The simulations revealed a flow structure characterized by the emergence of coherent structures, which are very elongated in the streamwise direction occupying a large portion of the flow inside and outside the canopy. These very large structures have a strong impact on the flow inside the canopy as well.
Technical Breakdown of a Time-Series Data Federation System
Authors: Sommer Ashley , Stenson Matthew , Searle Ross
Published: September 2018

A very large volume of climatic and agricultural data is captured and recorded by on-farm monitoring devices that is uploaded to various different data service providers. It is consistently difficult for land managers to discover, access, understand and use the data due to its disparate nature, limited access to it and multiple proprietary formats used. The Soil Sensing project is developing tools and technologies to help improve the ability to discover, access, understand, and use time-series farm-scale data across disparate data providers. This is achieved by the development and deployment of loosely-coupled web services in the form of a Data Streams Integrator system (DSI), which implements a combined brokered and federated data supply chain pattern. The DSI is composed of the Data Brokering Layer, the Observations and Measurements translation layer, the Sensor Observation Service interface and a metadata registry and repository.
Application of a Sequential Data Assimilation Technique to Improve Modeling of Surface Currents Using Radar Data at a Coastal Domain
Authors: Ren Lei , Hartnett Michael
Published: September 2018

Numerical model is generally to simulate hydrodynamic parameters such as surface currents. However, it has limits such as difficulty in definition of initial and boundary conditions. As remote sensing such as satellite and radars advances and is applied in practice. Data assimilation technique has becoming a promising means to improve modeling performance through taking advantages of available observations. In this paper, surface currents hourly monitored by a radar system were assimilated into a 3D numerical model to improve modeling performance using a sequential data assimilation algorithm. Results indicated that application proposed data assimilation approach not only improved hindcasting of surface flow fields, but also improved its forecasting.

Published: September 2018

Installing an efficient monitoring and control sensor system provides the possibility to carry out main tasks on Water Distribution Networks (WDNs) management and protection. Given the WDNs complexity, efficient numerical techniques are needed to support optimal monitoring system design. Generally, it is appropriate to locate sensors at highly connected places in the WDN with water flow reaching several parts of the network. This paper introduces a general method to support water utilities on the decision making process for an efficient water system monitoring. The proposal is based on graph spectral techniques that take advantage on spectrum properties of the adjacency matrix of the water distribution network graph. It is consequently created a novel tool-set of graph spectral techniques adapted to improve the water monitoring tasks and consequently simplify further sensor placement. This is approached with no need of hydraulic simulation, as data availability is often limited or not suitable to face anomaly events changing assets and distribution performance. A real water distribution network serving a town near to Naples is used to analyze the proposed graph spectral methodology. In order to test the proposed procedure, a comparison was made with a sensor layout obtained through a bi-objective optimization, through some performance indicators. The results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed spectral procedure.
A Study of the Average Flow in Open Channel with Baffle Blocks Distributed Uniformly
Authors: Tran Dung Tien , Le Anh Tuan , Le Hong Nhung , Ho Viet Hung
Published: September 2018

A study of average flow in open channel with baffle blocks distributed uniformly has been considered by using channel with varied slopes. In this article, experimental and modelling studies were introduced when the correlation between the water depth and baffle block size is significant. The objective of the work is to give the rudimentary relations between discharge and water level in the channels. When the water depth is large, the effect of bottom channel friction on the flow is relatively small. This paper also gives applications of the software ‘Telemac-2D’ to simulate the flow under different conditions.
O enquadramento biopolítico de pessoas empobrecidas: entre o governo dos corpos e a biopotência de modos de vida na imagem
Authors: Salgueiro Marques Angela Cristina
Published: September 2018

Neste artigo, argumento, junto com Fassin e Butler, que existe uma modalidade particular de governo dos corpos coletivos: o enquadramento biopolítico de sujeitos e grupos empobrecidos no contexto da implementação de políticas sociais. De modo mais específico, recorro a imagens institucionais de beneficiários do Programa Bolsa Família (encontradas no site do Ministério do Desenvolvimento Social) para mostrar como o governo biopolítico dos corpos coletivos envolve a produção de narrativas, argumentos e enunciados que passam a traçar distinções entre modos de vida considerados dignos e aqueles amplamente percebidos como menosprezáveis. O enquadramento biopolítico é uma técnica de governo ou de governamentalidade que formata as cenas de aparência, preparando-as para definir sujeitos e grupos exemplares, considerados como parâmetro, cujo projeto e modo de vida é tido como antítese do desvio e de existências moralmente julgadas como indignas de consideração e apreciação.

O realismo especulativo e a metafísica dos outros
Authors: Bensusan Hilan
Published: September 2018

O artigo contrasta os caminhos para sair da era do correlato escolhidos por Graham Harman e Quentin Meillassoux, e o realismo especulativo em geral, com o caminho de uma metafísica dos outros. Para isso, uma análise que os autores do realismo especulativo fazem da especulação é realizada para mostrar que há um compromisso maior com a totalidade especular do que com a exterioridade ou com um Grande Fora. A partir de um contraste entre a especulação e a metafísica dos outros, fica claro como as alternativas à metafísica da subjetividade, nos termos de Meillassoux, podem envolver um menor compromisso com os procedimentos especulativos.
Transas Possíveis: Nova Psicanálise e Virada Especulativa
Authors: Bogéa Diogo
Published: September 2018

Investigação sobre a possibilidade de relação entre alguns aspectos da Nova Psicanálise elaborada por MD Magno e diversos interesses da chamada “virada ontológica”. A crítica de Magno ao “correlacionismo” kantiano -- e consequentemente à redução lacaniana dos processos psíquicos ao “simbólico” -- é ainda mais radical que a de Meillassoux, pois não se trata apenas de encontrar uma via de acesso a uma realidade independente do sujeito, trata-se mesmo de eliminar a suposição de “sujeito” e, com ela, eliminar a noção de “acesso privilegiado” à realidade -- objetiva ou fenomênica -- por meio de “pensamento”, “linguagem”, “consciência” ou “formas e categorias” da intuição sensível. Trata-se de pensar toda comunicação, em qualquer caso, apenas como transas entre formações.
Por uma ontologia da mídia
Authors: Kittler Friedrich
Published: September 2018

Este artigo aborda a exclusão das midias  técnicas e físicas das questões ligadas à Ontologia. Primeiramente argumenta-se que desde Aristóteles a Ontologia privilegiou a matéria e a forma das coisas, relegando ao segundo plano a relação entre as coisas, o espaço e o tempo. Em segundo lugar, argumenta-se que devido a indistinção entre elementos do discurso falado e as letras alfabéticas nos Gregos, criou-se uma tendência na Filosofia de se negligenciar a escrita como o seu próprio meio  técnico. Este artigo traça estas tendências através de uma série de fontes filosóficas: de Aquino a Descartes e de Fichte a Hegel. Argumenta-se, a título de resposta, que somente em Heidegger surgirá uma consciência filosófica para os meios técnicos. Hoje as conexões entre matemática e mídia, mídia e Ontologia devem ser formuladas em termos mais precisos.
ESPAÇOS DE DISPUTAS EM OLHOS D' ÁGUA
Authors: Alemão Suelen Tavares , Aguiar Adriana
Published: September 2018

Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar o espaço físico/geográfico em alguns contos da obra Olhos d’ água, de Conceição Evaristo. Pretende-se, também, enfatizar a representatividade de personagens negros e suas vivências em espaços, na maioria, marginalizados e pobres, mas sem ausentar a forma com a qual a autora desenha e estrutura o início e o fim, como e o porquê o personagem encontra-se em determinada situação, pois quando a mão que escreve a literatura brasileira contemporânea é a de uma mulher, afrodescendente, nascida na periferia de Belo Horizonte, haveria diferença à representação e ao espaço do negro? Busca-se investigar, a partir das narrativas que compõem Olhos d’água (2016), da escritora afrodescendente Conceição Evaristo, a relação entre representação do negro e do espaço, aqui empregado numa perspectiva dialética, em que o corpo e a memória do negro também são lidos como espaços que atravessam e são atravessados pelo espaço/lugar geográfico. A investigação inscreve-se como pesquisa de caráter bibliográfico.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a condição feminina na obra. Optou-se pelo levantamento bibliográfico de obras com abordagem histórica, com ênfase nos de autoria da brasileira Mary Del Priore, da teórica indiana Gayatri Spivak e do livro acima citado, de Aluísio Azevedo. Ambas teorias remetem  ao colonialismo e ao pós-colonialismo, no primeiro retratando a sociedade brasileira e no segundo as relações de poder do primeiro mundo em relação ao terceiro mundo. O que nos faz refletir sobre o tratamento e condição dada às mulheres, visto as mudanças no modo de viver da classe burguesa do Brasil e no resto do mundo. Para a associação com a obra, foi observada constante inferiorização e dependência das personagens mulheres em relação aos homens, comportamento este que é fruto de uma sociedade patriarcal escravocrata. Dada a relevância do tema e a permanência do comportamento observado, os estudos e discussões sobre a temática tornam-se cada vez mais importantes.

Piezo-actuated common rail injector structure and efficient design
Authors: KÖTEN Hasan , GUNES Ebubekir Can , GUNER Kubilay
Published: September 2018

Piezo-actuated
common rail injectors are often utilized in today’s automobile engines’ fuel
systems. This high-tech instrument decreases fuel consumption, thereby harmful
exhaust emissions are also lowered especially in diesel ignition engines. Owing
to ultra-high pressure in piezo-injection systems, fuel droplets are scaled
down into a smaller particle form and thus provided more efficient combustion.
Pulverized fuel droplets are evaporated and oxidized in a very short time and
they provide exact combustion inside the combustion chamber.  In this study, numerical simulation of a
piezo-actuated common rail injector fluid-mechanical model with detail is
demonstrated. The hydraulic and mechanical component interaction is modeled
through the fluid-mechanical components. Thus, the piezo injector dynamics are
predicted based on the geometry and the physical quantities describing the
equipment. Input voltage in the entrance is used to describe the piezo actuator
force for piezo-electric material. In model, fuel flows from the common rail to
a tee that separates the flow into two paths: fuel gallery and valve with the
inlet orifice. Using this detailed model, behavior of the piezo injector,
effects of the injector parameters on the fuel flow were investigated
numerically and results were represented.
Fuel Demand Elasticities in Pakistan: An Analysis of Households'
Expenditure on Fuels using Micro Data
Authors: Burney Nadeem A. , Akhtar Naeem
Published: September 2018

This study aims to examine the pattern of households'
expenditure on fuel consumption in Pakistan using the data of Household
Income and Expenditure Survey (1984-85). Price and income elasticities
have been estimated by applying the Extended linear Expenditure System.
It is found that the expenditure pattern of the rural households is
different from the urban households, with the rural households spending
proportionately more on fuels. The estimates of the income elasticities
imply that all fuels are a necessity for both urban and rural
households. The price elasticities of different fuels are found to be
extremely low, implying that the Consumption of fuels in Pakistan is
highly price inelastic.
La peronización de universitarios en los años sesenta y setenta
Authors: Dip Nicolás Alberto
Published: September 2018

Un lugar común a la hora de pensar la relación entre peronismo y universidad es referirse a la importante oposición que concitaron los dos primeros gobiernos de Juan Domingo Perón en ese ámbito particular. Otro lugar no menos transitado es reseñar el vuelco político que experimentaron varios universitarios en los años sesenta y setenta. Cambio que podía ir desde una reconsideración del movimiento peronista hasta a una plena identificación con él, en un contexto político local e internacional muy distinto a las décadas del cuarenta y cincuenta. En este marco, la peronización de estudiantes, docentes e intelectuales es señalada con distinto grado de detenimiento en producciones académicas que indagan experiencias de la historia reciente de nuestro país a partir de distintas perspectivas disciplinares.
La peronización de los universitarios como categoría nativa (1966-1973)
Authors: Friedemann Sergio Martín
Published: September 2018

Si en 1955 el peronismo era insignificante desde el punto de vista de la militancia estudiantil, hacia 1973 concentraba una importante cantidad de activistas y ganaba elecciones en los centros de estudiantes. En consecuencia, no resulta llamativo que se haya analizado esta mutación en términos de peronización. Lo cierto es que más allá de su uso analítico en trabajos actuales sobre el período, se trata de una categoría utilizada por los actores, quienes observaron un creciente apoyo o inserción de los jóvenes universitarios en el peronismo entre 1966 y 1973. En ese sentido, el propósito del artículo es abordar la llamada peronización como categoría nativa, es decir, atender a los puntos de vista de los actores en su situación particular. Serán situadas y matizadas en su contexto de producción nociones como peronización y nacionalización de los universitarios. Se realiza un recorte que integra la obra de intelectuales referentes de la izquierda peronista junto a observaciones de similar tenor presentes en la correspondencia de Juan Domingo Perón durante su exilio, documentación que resulta en parte inédita y ha sido recolectada recientemente. Conjuntamente, se utilizan otras fuentes primarias como entrevistas, publicaciones periódicas y documentación institucional.
Politik Hukum Putusan MK Nomor 36/PUU-X/2012 dalam Upaya Mengembalikan Kedaulatan Negara dan Perlindungan HAM
Authors: Asnawi Habib Shulton
Published: September 2018

The background of this paper departs from concern over the fragility of the value of Indonesia's sovereignty which has an impact on the violations of the rights of Indonesian citizens (human rights). Law No. 22 of 2001 on Oil and Gas (Oil and Gas Law) has undermined the sovereignty of the state and the nation's economic sovereignty. Oil and Gas Law poses systemic impact on people's lives and could harm the country's finances. This is because oil and gas law opened liberalization of oil and gas management which is highly dominated by foreign entity since oil and gas world in Indonesia is dominated by foreign companies up to 89 percent. Therefore, in an effort to restore the sovereignty of the Republic of Indonesia in the field of oil and gas, the Constitutional Court as a State institution has taken progressive step in its decision No. 36 / PUU-X / 2012 on the dissolution of BP Migas. The legal policy of the Court decision constitute a wise choice and is a progressive step in the field of law, especially the protection of human rights of the people of Indonesia.
Alternatif Penyelesaian Sengketa Pertambangan (Studi di Kabupaten Lumajang Provinsi Jawa Timur)
Authors: Safa'at Rachmad , Qurbani Indah Dwi
Published: September 2018

Paradigma pengelolaan sumber daya alam di sektor pertambangan yang dilakukan pemerintah selama ini menimbulkan berbagai permasalahan, antara lain: semakin meningkatnya konflik, kerusakan lingkungan dan tingkat kemiskinan masyarakat yang belum berubah serta mengabaikan sistem nilai, sosial, ekonomi, dan budaya masyarakat lokal. Sebagaimana yang terjadi di Lumajang, Konflik pertambangan di Lumajang berkaitan dengan isu sengketa kepemilikan lahan antara masyarakat dengan penambang maupun perusahaan tambang, interaksi pelaku tambang dengan masyarakat sekitar lokasi tambang, legalitas aktivitas pertambangan, degradasi lingkungan akibat adanya aktivitas lingkungan, dan regulasi pertambangan. Dalam kaitan itu diperlukan mekanisme penyelesaian sengketa alternatif atau alternative dispute resolution yang tidak membuat masyarakat tergantung pada dunia hukum yang terbatas kapasitasnya, namun tetap dapat menghadirkan rasa keadilan dan penyelesaian masalah. Mekanisme tersebut sebenarnya telah memiliki dasar hukum dan telah memiliki preseden serta pernah dipraktikkan di Indonesia walau jarang disadari. Mekanisme tersebut juga memiliki potensi untuk semakin dikembangkan di Indonesia.The paradigm of natural resource management in the mining sector by the government, has brought many problems, among others: the increasing conflict, environmental degradation and the poverty rate has not changed and the society that ignores the value system, social, economic, cultural and local communities. As in Lumajang, Lumajang mining conflicts relating to issues of land ownership disputes between communities and miners and mining companies, mining offender interaction with the community around the mine site, the legality of mining activities, environmental degradation due to environmental activities, and mining regulations. That regard the necessary mechanisms of alternative dispute resolution does not make people dependent on the legal capacity, but still can bring a sense of justice and problem resolution. The mechanism actually has a legal basis and already have a precedent and once practiced in Indonesia though rarely recognized. The mechanism also has the potential for further development in Indonesia.
Pengawasan terhadap Kebijakan Pemerintah Melalui Mekanisme Citizen Lawsuit
Authors: Nasir Cholidin
Published: September 2018

Salah satu unsur terpenting negara hukum menurut Sri Soemantri adalah pengawasan dari badan-badan peradilan. Salah satu bentuk pengawasan adalah judicial review yang dilakukan oleh Mahkamah Agung dan Mahkamah Konstitusi. Namun, tidak semua tindakan pemerintah berdasarkan peraturan perundang-undangan yang telah ada. Beberapa tindakan atau kebijakan pemerintah justru lahir lebih dahulu sebelum adanya peraturan perundang-undangan yang mengatur dan bahkan beberapa peraturan perundang-undangan dibentuk untuk melahirkan kebijakan pemerintah yang justru merugikan warga negara.Terkadang sengketa hukum terjadi bermula dari kebijakan yang dikeluarkan oleh pemerintah, yangseharusnya mempertimbangkan kepentingan umum atau kepentingan orang banyak (publik)dan bukan hanya kepentingan orang per orang saja, namun kenyataannya banyak terjadi suatu kebijakan merugikan kepentingan umum, sehingga acapkali kepentingan umum diabaikan yang pada akhirnya kepentingan umum tidak lagi menjadi prioritas utama. Hal inilah yang menjadi penyebab pelanggaran hukum yang dilakukan oleh penguasa. Terjadinya pelanggaran hukum inilah yang menimbulkan daya dorong bagi masyarakat untuk ikut berperan serta dalam upaya menyelesaikan sengketa guna menegakkan hukum.Dalam tulisan ini penulis hanya akan membahas penyelesaian melalui badan peradilan sebagai salah satu syarat dari negara hukum (rechtstaat) yaitu judicial control. Badan peradilan merupakan suatu badan yang memegang peranan penting dalam penyelesaian sengketa. Salah satu gugatan kelompok yang dilakukan oleh para pencari keadilan adalah gugatan citizen lawsuit;One of the most important elements of state law by Sri Soemantri is the supervision of the judicial authorities. One form of oversight is judicial review conducted by the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court. However, not all government action based on legislation that has been there. Some activities or government policies born before the legislation that governs and even some legislation established to give birth to government policies that harm the citizens. Sometimes a legal dispute occurs stems from policies issued by the government, which should take into consideration the public interest or the interests of many (public) and not just the interests of individuals. There were many cases of a policy detrimental to the public interest so that often the public interest is ignored that the ultimately the public interest is no longer a top priority. This is the cause of the violation committed by the authorities. Violations of the laws are what caused the impetus for the public to participate in efforts to resolve the dispute to enforce the law. In this paper, the authors will only discuss a settlement through the judiciary as one of the requirements of state law (rechtstaat) is judicial control. The judiciary is a body that plays important role in the settlement of disputes. One of a class action carried out by those seeking justice is a citizen lawsuit.
An optimized catch-only assessment method for data poor fisheries

Published: September 2018

Catch statistics are perhaps the most commonly collected data and are widely available for many fisheries. However, it is currently difficult to provide scientific advice for management purposes using only catch data. This article presents a catch-only method for stock assessment of data-poor fisheries. It uses time series of catches and two priors, one for the intrinsic population growth rate derived from life history parameters, and another for stock depletion based on catch trends. The method applies an optimization algorithm to search the potential parameter space. All computations are model or equation based rather than using predefined rules. The utility of this method is demonstrated by applying it to 13 stocks in Australia that are assessed using Stock Synthesis—an assessment package that can make use of a variety of data sources. The estimated parameters, including carrying capacity, intrinsic population growth rate, maximum sustainable yield, and depletion from the catch-only method are broadly comparable with those from the full assessments. The circumstances in which the method may perform poorly, such as longer-term changes in productivity and episodic recruitment, are highlighted.
Towards reducing misrepresentation of national achievements in marine protected area targets
Authors: Smallhorn-West patrick , Govan Hugh
Published: September 2018

Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) adopted 20 targets, known as the Aichi Targets, to benchmark progress towards protecting biodiversity. These targets include Target 11 relating to Marine Protected Area coverage and the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) is the accepted international database for tracking national commitments to this target. However, measuring national progress towards conservation targets relies on sound data. This paper highlights the large-scale misrepresentation, by up to two orders of magnitude, of national marine protected area coverage from two Pacific Island nations in multiple online databases and subsequent reports, including conclusions regarding achievements of Aichi 11 commitments. It recommends that for the target driven approach to have value, users of the WDPA data should carefully consider its caveats before using their raw data and that countries should strive for a greater degree of accountability. Lastly it also concludes that protected area coverage may not be the best approach to environmental sustainability and that the remaining 19 targets should be considered to a greater extent.
Our words matter: acceptability, grammaticality, and ethics of research on singular 'they'-type pronouns
Authors: Ackerman Lauren Marie
Published: September 2018

Until now, there has been little experimental work investigating the processing and formal properties of the singular they suite of pronouns. As scientific and popular attention to singular they increases, it will be critical for research to acknowledge theoretical and ethical issues regarding discussion of this phenomenon. This commentary uses the recent paper by Doherty & Conklin (2017) as a starting point to discuss issues surrounding work on the various forms of singular they. It concludes that there is sufficient theoretical and empirical evidence to claim they has a grammatically singular form (at least in colloquial English). It also recommends care be taken in academic discussions of the grammaticality and acceptability of terms which are associated with marginalised communities.
Motion-Induced Blindness as a Tool to Measure Attentional Biases and the Link to Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Traits
Authors: McEwen Cassandra , Paton Bryan , Tsuchiya Naotsugu , van Boxtel Jeroen
Published: September 2018

Typically, individuals have an attentional bias towards the left visual field. This is often absent in individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity (ADH) disorder (ADHD). We used a motion-induced blindness task with targets in four quadrants in order to assess left/right as well as upper/lower spatial biases in perceptual disappearances, and also measured changes in the disappearances with time-on-task. Fifty-eight university students (41 female) completed the Conners Adult ADHD self-report short-form to assess the number of ADH traits, and 48 trials of a one-minute motion-induced blindness (MIB) task. Through a hybrid hypothesis-driven and data-driven analysis approach, we found that the MIB illusion increased with more ADH traits, decreased with time-on-task, and was stronger for left and lower quadrants. The time-on-task likely contributed to the strength of the illusion through changes in arousal, as pupil size decreased with time-on-trial in a subset of participant (n=11) for who we measure eye-movements. Additionally, whilst participants were biased towards the lower left visual field, this was, unexpectedly, most prominent with those with higher ADH traits. This novel result suggests an additive effect of left/right and upper/lower spatial biases. Taken together, this study supports an association between spatial attention, arousal and ADH traits in MIB.
Olympic lifting vs. traditional lifting methods for North American high school football players
Authors: ROBERTS Matt , DEBELİSO Mark
Published: September 2018

A stronger emphasis has been placed on increasing strength, power, size, and speed for today’s football player. The key to obtaining these abilities and skills are accomplished in the weight room. There are various types of lifting methods when it comes to resistance training (RT) for football. Two types of lifting styles that are often used for high school football weight training programs are the traditional lifting or core training programs and Olympic style lifting. It is thought that Olympic lifts help to increase power, which is something that can be transferred onto the playing field and help improve overall performance. This study compared two different styles of RT (traditional vs. Olympic) in North American High School football athletes in order to determine if one RT protocol was superior at improving measures of speed, strength, and power. Forty male, high school football players ranging from 14 to 18 years old participated in an eight week, off-season, early morning football resistance training program. Each participant was randomly selected into either the traditional resistance protocol (TR: n = 20) or Four Quarters protocol (FQ: n = 20) experimental groups. The players each had the same weight lifting/conditioning routine, however, twice a week the FQ group performed an Olympic lift variation and the TR group performed a dead lift. Pre- and post-assessment scores were obtained and compared in the 1-RM squat, 1-RM power clean, vertical jump (VJ) and 9.14 meter sprint. Pre- post- scores were compared with in each group with a dependent t-test. A gain score was also calculated for each dependent variable (post-pre score) and compared between the experimental groups with an independent t-tests (p≤0.05). Both groups made improvements in pre to post assessments in the 1-RM squat, 1-RM power clean, and VJ (p<0.05). The gain scores for the 1-RM squat, 1-RM power clean were significantly greater for the FQ group (p<0.05). Neither group improved 9.14 meter sprint times (p>0.05). The results of this study are consistent with those found in previous literature demonstrating that increases in both the 1-RM squat and 1-RM power clean are better achieved using an Olympic lift variations when compared to using a traditional lifting method. Resistance training programs for athletes are designed with the goal of improving physical performance on the field of play. The results of this study suggest that improvements in muscular strength and power as measured by the 1-RM squat and 1-RM power clean are best achieved with a RT protocol that includes the Olympic lift variation of the power clean.

Loco-regional anesthesia in the femoral and sciatic nerve has been widely used in veterinary medicine, since it is known to reduce the need for general anesthetics and analgesic drugs in the postoperative period, reducing their associated side effects. With this review, a greater understanding of sciatic and femoral nerve block is sought, addressing its main characteristics, when used in surgical procedures of the hind limbs in small animals. When comparing with epidural anesthesia, more studies are needed, but several studies have already been performed and published, both in humans and in animals, and have reported success in reducing the pain threshold in orthopedic surgical procedures.

The pneumococcal infection is an important issue due to its prevalence, numerous severe complications, high mortality rate and disability. However modern vaccination allows preventing of the pneumococcal infection and reduces the severity of clinical complications. This article presents the analysis of the morbidity and mortality indicators from community-acquired pneumonia and the effect of pneumococcal vaccination on its dynamic in the at-risk groups within the adult population of the Aldan area and the city of Aldan of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). In the Aldan area pneumonia morbidity persistently exceeds the national Russian average: in 2015 – 1.5 times (499.3 per 100,000 population) and in 2016 – 1.2 times (500.8 per 100,000 population). The morbidity indicators in Aldan are comparable to the national values. The community-acquired pneumonia mortality rates in the Aldan area were 20.55 per 100,000 population in 2015, and 18.5 per 100,000 population in 2016; these values are, respectively, 4.3 and 3.8 times higher than the national average. In the city of Aldan the community-acquired pneumonia mortality rates were 9.87 per 100,000 population in 2015 and 15.8 per 100,000 population in 2016, which is more than double the national average in the Russian Federation. Pneumococcal vaccinations of the adult population using the conjugate vaccine Prevenar 13 have been observed to lower the pneumonia morbidity and respiratory infections; the vaccinations also reduced the number of hospitalizations due to condition exacerbations or decompensations among adult patients with chronic lung disorders, cardiac insufficiency, and diabetes.

The review article summarizes and systematizes scientific data on the pathogens of new respiratory infections discovered in the early XXI century – Human metapneumovirus (HMPV), Human bocavirus (HBoV), Human coronavirus (HCoV). Groups of microorganisms with which they act as associates are identified: other viruses (HMPV – HRSV, Rhinovirus, Adenovirus, HCoV; НBoV– Rhinovirus, HRSV, Rotavirus, Norovirus; HCoV – Influenza virus, Adenovirus and HRSV), and also some bacteria (HMPV – S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae type b; НBoV – S. enteritidis, C. jejune; HCoV – M. pneumoniae, K. pneumoniae). The clinical and epidemiological features of combined forms of infections are analyzed: predominance of moderate course, with risk of complications, risk groups (young children), seasonality (autumn-winter). The complexity of verification of these infections from other viral infections based on the clinical picture is established.
The Use of Biblicizing Techniques in Isaac Salkinson’s Hebrew Translations
Authors: Shuali Eran
Published: September 2018

In this article, I examine the character and reception of the Hebrew translations of St.
Paul’s Epistle to the Romans, Milton’s Paradise Lost, Shakespeare’s Othello and Romeo
and Juliet, Tiedge’s Urania, and the New Testament produced in the second half of the
nineteenth century by Isaac Salkinson, a Jew converted to Christianity and employed as
a missionary by the British Society for the Propagation of the Gospel among the Jews. I
focus on a salient feature of these translations, that is the use of biblicizing techniques.
In contrast to previous studies, I tie the production of all of Salkinson’s translations to
his activity as a missionary.

The Theory of Half-education (translation from German Maria Kultaieva)
Authors: Adorno Theodor W.
Published: September 2018

The theory of  half- education was presented at first on the congress of German sociologists (1959). The tendencies regarded in this theory are really taking place in the contemporary education and have determining its crises, which becomes more evidence in the social and cultural contexts of the later capitalism. The theory of half-education is rethinking  and actualizing  of the conceptualizations of education and culture in the German idealism, Marxism and Freudianism, explicating the dialectic of Enlightenment through diagnostics of its degenerations and deformations in the options of the alien spirit, what has a very dangerous consequence of the liquidation of culture  that is converting into the mas one. Half-education  is parasitizing    on   the idea of education which has  intrinsic contradictions: its conditions are the individual autonomy and social freedom, but it is depending on society. Id demands both: the individual autonomy and social adaptation. These contradictions can be overcame  by the  application of  the negative dialectic, which joins complementary the critic of education and the critic of society opening new perspectives for them.
