Maritime potential of the Russian sector of the south-eastern Baltic Sea and its spatial usage
Authors: Ulyanova Marina , Danchenkov Alexandr
Published: December 2016

Five major uses of sea space in the Russian sector of the southeastern Baltic Sea (SEBS) are navigation, fishery, mining, recreation, and military uses. A brief description of each existing and future marine space user as well as conflicts between them are presented in this study. The total area of each use was calculated. The most extensive zones are occupied by commercial fishery and military uses, which cover almost the entire exclusive economical zone. Special attention was made for potential marine protected areas (especially in offshore areas of the Curonian Spit, which is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List), which are not under legislation of the Kaliningrad Oblast’ but require a particular defence. The area offshore of the western coast has the greatest economic activity and is the most vulnerable part of the open sea. Future intensification of the marine space use will result in increased negative load to the marine environment. Sustainable development concept and maritime spatial planning are declarative at the state level for many years, there is still no implementation mechanism.

Authors: AlSaraireh Mohammad Yousef Ahmad , Hamid Ku Mohd Nabil Ku
Published: December 2016

The aim of this study is to examine the impact of using the reciprocal teaching model on Jordanians’ first year students at Mutah University in the academic year 2015/2016. 176 participants took part and were arbitrarily selected and divided into two gender mixed groups; the experimental group which was exposed to the reciprocal teaching model (RT), and the control group which was taught using the traditional method (TM). A total of fourteen  independent sample T-tests and paired samples T-tests were used for the purpose of comparing and analysing the scores of the pre-tests and the post-tests, and with the intention to pinpoint the effect of using RT as well as to measure the extent of such effect on the development of the students’ reading comprehension skills. Through the analysis of the results and in line with the two questions of this study, it has emerged that the use of the RT model has a positive effect on the first year students’ reading comprehension achievement in the experimental group; a fact that is reflected in the significant statistical difference when compared to the reading comprehension achievement of the students from the control group taught using the TM. It has also emerged that although the male students’ scores are better than the scores attained by the female students, the use of the RT remains of great benefits for both; male and female students.
Learning English as a Second Language through Social Media: Saudi Arabian Tertiary Context
Authors: Mubarak Amin Ali Al
Published: December 2016

This paper aims to identify the role of social media in learning English as a second language among Saudi Arabian students. Four year students majoring B A in English at Al Ardh college of Science and Arts for girls in Jazan University were identified as the participants of this study. The instrument of this study is a comprehensive questionnaire, which is constructed in order to explore the students’ perceptions and attitudes on using social media for English language learning. It is found that majority of the participants use social media to enhance their communication skills. Moreover, the result revealed that collaborative learning that are embedded in a social media may help improve learning activities which in turn leads to the success of learning English as a second language. Apart from that, some of the problems encountered when using social media and combined group work in the learning and teaching of English as a second language at Tertiary level are also highlighted. Most importantly, the students agreed that social media has by and large affected in their English language learning skills.
Power Subverted and Desired Love Achieved, An Optimistic Look at Shelly’s Poem “England 1819”
Authors: Babamiri Navid Salehi
Published: December 2016

The poem “England 1819” is to be considered as one of the best poems of the romantic poet Shelly, which has to deal with political statements. The poem, as a symbol both to suppress the power in the hands of some and to make people encourage in their life, shows Shelly’s deep feeling toward his people especially ones who have been trapped in the bitter power of Tops, big noses who ruled the England and had the complete authority over the oppressed ones.Thus the poem not only deals with the oppression of government, religion, churches and oppressors but also gives hope to people that by resistance they can abolish it and make a utopian life in their own domain. The present paper sheds light on this despotism through symbols and other literary devices and also demonstrates through the same literary devices that if people want, it will not be impossible for them to overthrow that unjust power.
Floral Resources Sustaining African Meliponine Bee Species (Hymenoptera: Meliponini) in a Fragile Habitat of Kenya
Authors: Bobadoye Bridget O. , N. Ndegwa Paul , Irungu Lucy , Ayuka Fombong , Kajobe Robert
Published: December 2016

A vast majority of insects visit flowers for food, generally termed as floral rewards. Detailed insights on flowering phenology of plants could give a hint of habitat status and the extent to which such landscapes could support insect pollinators to render both direct and indirect ecosystem services. This study monitored flowering plants which could potentially provide both pollen and nectar sources to four African meliponine bee species (Apidae: Meliponini) naturally occurring in six diverse habitat gradients of the eastern arc mountains (Taita hills) of Kenya. Blooming sequences of identified flowering plants overlapped across seasons with approximately 80 different plant species belonging to 34 families recorded, with the highest proportions from Fabaceae and Asteraceae families dominating flowering plants that were visited (67% of the visits).  A flowering calendar is presented to indicate the phenological pattern of all identified floral resources.  Hypotrigona gribodoi being the most abundant species had the highest visitation rates on plants belonging to Fabaceae and Asteraceae families, followed by Meliponula ferruginea (black), Plebeina hildebrandti and Hypotrigona ruspolii. This indicates that such fragile habitat could invariably sustain nutritional requirements essential for the survival of insect pollinators such as native meliponine bee species, though bee abundance at flowers did not significantly correlate to food availability (expressed by flowering plant richness).
The Risk Observatory: Developing an Aviation Safety Information Sharing Platform in Europe
Authors: Verstraeten Joram , Baren Gerben van , Wever Rombout
Published: December 2016

In Europe the accident rate in commercial aviation has stagnated at around 40 accidents per ten million flights: forty times higher than Europe’s ambition. Currently safety management is done per organisation, focusing on an organisation’s own domain. European research institutions and the aviation sector have joined their expertise in the EU-funded Future Sky Safety Programme. One project within the programme aims to enable inter-organisation and inter-domain safety management. The four year project will deliver a tool, the Risk Observatory, which acquires safety data and translates it into actionable safety information. In the first year, more than 20 European stakeholder organisations have been consulted to express their needs for a Risk Observatory. The resulting requirements have been used to develop an early prototype: mock-ups of dashboards and a user interface. The Risk Observatory has four main elements. (1) Tracking of safety performance indicators distilled from input safety data. (2) Trend diagrams and visualisations of accident risk. Risk models will be developed to translate the input data into accident risk. The risk models also allow (3) assessment of the effects of mitigation measures. There is added value in sharing qualitative safety knowledge, such as identified hazards, therefore, (4) a searchable repository is included. The early prototype is successfully used to validate and further specify the requirements. The need for inter-organisation and inter-domain safety data dissemination was confirmed by the stakeholders. In the coming years the project will develop a fully functional prototype risk observatory, risk models and a business model.
“A Powerful Tool”: A Phenomenological Study of School Counselors' Experiences with Social Stories
Authors: Goodman-Scott Emily , Carlisle Robert , Clark Madeline , Burgess Melanie
Published: December 2016

Social stories are an evidence-based practice used to address students' social skills. Current literature primarily addresses special education teachers' use of social stories when working with youth with autism spectrum disorder. Although school counselors meet students' social/emotional needs, little research exists documenting their experiences with social stories. This phenomenological study examined the lived experiences of school counselors using social stories (N = 12). The authors found that school counselors experienced social stories as a powerful process and encountered obstacles to social story use, and that social stories fit within the role of school counselors, including running a comprehensive school counseling program.
The Influence of Deck Flexibility on the Dynamic Response of Railway Bridges
Authors: Amaral Pollyana Gil Cunha
Published: December 2016

A simplified methodology is proposed for railway bridge vibration analysis under train loading. Dynamic models of both train and bridge were assumed to be initially uncoupled, yet bound by contact forces. These forces were evaluated from the dynamic response of the vehicle subjected to support excitation caused by rail and wheel geometric irregularities. Such forces were statically condensed in the vehicle centre of gravity and applied to a 3D-beam finite-element model of the bridge. The influence of the rigid-deck hypothesis on the dynamic response is assessed via an iterative procedure to redefine updated an equivalent rail irregularities� as the sum of he deck displacements and the actual� rail irregularities. The new interaction forces are re-applied to the bridge model to determine new displacements, repeating the procedure until the results converge.

Authors: Carvalho HERMES , Queiroz Gilson , Fakury Ricardo Hallal
Published: December 2016

Tradicionalmente, a análise de cabos submetidos ao vento é realizada usando uma análise estática equivalente. Entretanto, a ocorrência de inúmeros acidentes com sistemas estruturais compostos por cabos, sem que a velocidade de projeto tenha sido atingida, indica que o colapso pode ter sido causado por ações dinâmicas ou erros nas estimativas das forças de vento. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma metodologia para a análise dinâmica de cabos submetidos ao vento, considerando as não-linearidades geométricas e o amortecimento aerodinâmico. A validação do procedimento proposto é realizada por meio da comparação com resultados obtidos por outros pesquisadores e com resultados experimentais em túnel de vento. Paralelamente, apresenta-se a comparação das respostas obtidas para a análise dinâmica e a análise estática equivalente.

A partir da observação participante, realizada na sede da Igreja Holiness de Londrina, foi possível perceber que apesar de estar presente na cidade há aproximadamente 76 anos ela continua sendo predominantemente frequentada por membros de descendência japonesa, tendo dentre eles imigrantes idosos que não fazem uso da língua portuguesa. Foram necessárias contribuições advindas da Sociologia das Religiões e da Escola de Chicago no que tange o processo de observação participante, bem como, uma pesquisa bibliográfica sobre a temática. Este trabalho apresenta as características centrais da instituição londrinense e da prática religiosa de seus membros, foi possível perceber o papel histórico desempenhado pela instituição e sua importância em termos da socialização dos descendentes nipo-brasileiros de Londrina.
Spatial Inequality and Uneven Development: The Local Stratification of Poverty in Appalachia
Authors: Greenberg Pierce
Published: December 2016

Scholars have long analyzed the persistence of Appalachian poverty in counties, but less is known about the dimensions of poverty at smaller geographic levels. This paper builds upon the concept of spatial inequality, which explains how socio-economic disadvantage is segregated across residential space based on race and class. I extend the study of spatial inequality to Appalachia by investigating how local poverty is stratified across the region. The literature suggests two historical processes that could lead to spatial stratification in Appalachia: (1) the concentration of local economic opportunity in county seat cities, and (2) historical economic development processes that emphasized growth and marginalized the most rural areas of the region. Therefore, I analyze whether distance to a county seat influences poverty rates in Appalachian neighborhoods. The results indicate that distance to a county seat has a curvilinear ‘U-shaped’ relationship with poverty: the poorest neighborhoods, on average, are likely to be closest and farthest away from county seats. While data limitations exist, these findings emphasize the importance of place-based, subcounty initiatives for poverty alleviation in Appalachia.
Thieves Stealing from Thieves, Victims from Victims: The Culture, Morality, and Politics of Stolen Art in Twentieth Century Poland
Authors: Radzilowski John
Published: December 2016

The article examines the legal, moral, and political contradictions of recovering and repatriating works of art and related objects of cultural significance stolen from Poland and its neighbors during and after World War II. Poland suffered the highest rate of loss of any country occupied by Nazi Germany during the war, but a great deal of art was also taken by the Soviets, for whom art theft was a matter of policy. Art plundered by the Nazis was often re-stolen by the communists. Works were taken from both public and private owners. The losses have been compounded by the policies of postwar governments and public institutions in Poland and other countries, which have often prioritized rather vague public rights and claims for wartime compensation over the rights of individuals. In addition, governments and public institutions have lodged competing claims to specific works of art (of varying degrees of validity) against each other, making a just accounting of wartime losses nearly impossible to achieve.
American Books to the Rescue: The American Library Association (ALA) and the Postwar Restoration of Polish Libraries, 1944–1948
Authors: Sroka Marek
Published: December 2016

The American Library Association (ALA)’s role in the postwar cultural restoration of Polish libraries remains relatively unknown. This article discusses the ALA’s efforts at sharing the works of American cultural and research institutions with war devastated libraries in the context of war losses suffered by Polish libraries. Special attention is given to individual requests for American books and journals as they offer insight into various needs of Polish libraries. The ALA’s collaboration with the Kosciuszko Foundation and the American Book Center for War Devastated Libraries with respect to Polish libraries is also examined.
Geochemical Characteristics and Tectonic Setting of Amphibolites in Ifewara Area, Ife-Ilesha Schist Belt, Southwestern Nigeria
Authors: Bolarinwa Anthony Temidayo , Adepoju Adebimpe Atinuke
Published: December 2016

Trace and Rare Earth Elements (REEs) data are used to constrain the geochemical evolution of the amphibolites from Ifewara in the Ife-Ilesha schist belt of southwestern Nigeria. The amphibolites can be grouped into banded and sheared amphibolites. Major element data show SiO2 (48.34%), Fe2O3 (11.03-17.88%), MgO (5.76-9.90%), CaO (7.76-18.6%) and TiO2 (0.44-1.77%) contents which are similar to amphibolites in other schist belts in Nigeria. The Al2O3 (2.85-15.55%) content is varied, with the higher values suggesting alkali basalt protolith. Trace and rare earth elements composition reveal Sr (160-1077ppm), Rb (0.5-22.9ppm), Ni (4.7-10.2ppm), Co (12.2-50.9 ppm) and Cr (2-7ppm). Chondrite-normalized REE patterns show that the banded amphibolites have HREE depletion and both negative and positive Eu anomalies while the sheared variety showed slight LREE enrichment with no apparent Eu anomaly. The study amphibolites plot in the Mid Oceanic Ridge Basalts (MORB) and within plate basalt fields on the Zr/Y vs Zr discriminatory diagrams. They are further classified as volcanic arc basalt and E-type MORB on the Th- Hf/3- Ta and the Zr-Nb-Y diagrams. The amphibolites precursor is considered a tholeiitic suite that suffered crustal contamination, during emplacement in a rifted crust.
Geochemistry of Weathered Profiles over Syenite and Younger Granite in Pankshin Area, North Central Nigeria
Authors: Bolarinwa Anthony Temidayo , Adeola Adewole John
Published: December 2016

Metallic ores of economic values often occur within profiles above basement rocks in tropical regions due to weathering and secondary enrichment. This study is carried out to determine the geochemistry and appraise the potential for metallic ore enrichment in the weathered profiles over Syenite and Younger Granite in Pankshin area. Top-soil, laterite and rock samples are collected from two lateritic profiles above Syenite and Younger Granite. The syenite rock is composed of alkali feldspars (perthite), nepheline, clinopyroxene, with minor amount of orthopyroxene, hornblende, plagioclase and few quartz grains, indicating oversaturation. The Younger Granite contains plagioclase feldspars, microcline, quartz, biotite, hornblende and reibeckite. Quartz (61.0%), kaolinite (32.0%) and microcline (7.0%) are the dominant minerals in the X-ray diffraction (XRD) of the decomposed rocks. The Chemical Index of Alteration (CIA) of both rocks is generally >90. There are enhancements of V, Sc, Zr and TiO2 in the Syenite profile and Fe2O3, Zr, V and TiO2 in the Younger Granite profile as reflected in the Accumulation Factor (AF), loss and gain of elements (K), though the values were too low for ore mineralization except for iron and titanium in the Younger Granite profile.

PURPOSE: Sex determination is one of the most important aspects of the personal identification in forensic medicine. The present study thus aimed to assess the value of cephalogram in determining sex by applying eleven linear and an angular cephalometric variables measured on lateral cephalograms among Iranians.METHODS: In a cross-sectional study, 11 linear and 1 angular cephalometric measurements were studied. Those are: basion to anterior nasal spine, upper facial height, length of cranial base, total face height, frontal sinus height, mastoidale to sella-nasion plan, mastoidale to porion-orbital plan, mastoid height from cranial base, mastoid with at the level of cranial base, mandibular effective length (central condyle to prognation), occipitofrontal diameter, and gonial angle. Measurements were assessed in 150 individuals (75 males and 75 females) aged 25 to 54 years. After preparing lateral cephalograms, the cephalometric measurements were analyzed using PACS software. SPSS version 22.0 was used for analysis. P values of 0.05 or less were considered statistically significant.RESULTS: With the exception of gonial angle, comparison of lateral cephalometric indices between two sexs showed greater values in males than in females (p<0.001). In general, almost all of the cephalometric measurements were found reliable to distinguish between male and female sex skulls with a high sensitivity (100%) and specificity (97.3% to 1000%).CONCLUSION: The cephalometric measurements used in this study are able to differentiate with high specificity and sensitivity between male and female skull
Efficient forest fuel supply systems: Research, development and dissemination of knowledge in Sweden
Authors: Wide Maria Iwarsson
Published: December 2016

Efficient Forest Fuel Supply Systems (ESS) was run as a collaboration program, financed by the forestry sector, the energy sector, and the Swedish Energy Agency. The objective was to enable a long-term, sustainable and greatly increased use of forest fuel by supporting the development of a more efficient production system. The financial framework of ESS was SEK 130 million (approximately CA $ 19.5 million) over eight years, and the program supported approximately 150 research and development projects. Skogforsk administered the program, and was responsible for coordination and disseminating information to the stakeholders. A program board made formal decisions, and a fuel technology collaboration group helped to identify R&D areas. A project pilot was linked to each project to ensure that the focus was on sector needs and interests, and to help the project manager with relevant study objects, networks and updated information. In and around the program, valuable expertise and networks were built up in each sector and in research organisations, both nationally and internationally. Great emphasis was placed on practical demonstration, implementation and communication, in order to disseminate knowledge about new technology and methods and to influence attitudes toward forest fuel harvest. The forestry sector and its contractors gradually strengthened the supply system through improved skills, better organisation, and advanced equipment. The goals were largely attained, and practical aspects relating to forest fuel were implemented, incorporating many of the results.

One of the key elements of the PGNiG Group business strategies is the expansion of exploration and production activities outside Poland. Gaining access to foreign deposits allows for the expansion of the potential of own resources and entering foreign markets. Article provides a detailed description of the scope of works carried out by PGNiG SA specialists at licenses located abroad, and provides information of issues related to the geology of individual regions. Operations carried out by PGNiG Upstream International on the Norwegian continental shelf are an example of the mentioned activities. The company operates oil as well as oil and gas deposits (Skarv, Snadd, Morvin, Vale, and soon, also Gina Krog), and carries out exploration works in the vicinity of the operated deposits, as well as in the areas that are less recognized from the geological point of view. Another form of the company activities are its operations in Denmark (South Jutland) and Germany (South Brandenburg) where the research focuses on the Main Dolomite (Ca2) reservoir level that is well-known to the Polish geologists. Two of the largest oil and gas deposits in Poland (BMB and LMG) have been discovered, documented and developed for the production by PGNiG SA at this level. In Pakistan, in turn, PGNiG SA successfully conducts exploration at Kirthar license, located in the Sindh Province, where exploitation of Rehman deposit has recently been launched; the exploitation of the newly discovered Rizq deposit will also be launched in the near future. Operations are complemented by activities in Libya and Egypt. The exploration works conducted in Libya by POGC Libya BV are focused in the Murzuq petroleum basin at concession area no. 113, and are continued despite the announced force majeure state that, in practice, means holding up the field works. PGNiG SA has conducted exploration works at the Bahariya license located in the northern part of the Egyptian Western Desert, however, unsatisfactory results led the company to leave this country.
The impact of CLIL on the acquisition of L2 competences and skills in primary education
Authors: Nieto Moreno de Diezmas Esther
Published: December 2016

The aim of this paper is to provide new evidence on the effectiveness of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in the acquisition of English language competences (reading, writing, listening and spoken production and interaction) compared to traditional learning of English as a foreign language (EFL) in primary school settings. To do so, results of CLIL and non-CLIL learners enrolled in the 4 th year of primary education (9-10-year-olds) were examined and contrasted. Findings showed that the only communicative competence in which differences in favour of CLIL students were significant was spoken production and interaction. However, significant differences have also been detected in the following indicators: “preparing an outline before writing” (writing), “understanding space-time relations” (reading), and “global comprehension” and “identification of details” (listening). The confined effectiveness of CLIL may be due to the limited time of extra exposure to English, the young age of participants and the absence of any selection process for CLIL learners.
Paisajes Rituales y Políticos Paracas en el Valle de Chincha, Costa Sur del Perú
Authors: Tantaleán Henry
Published: December 2016

En este artículo se realiza una descripción y análisis de los primeros edificios monumentales, caminos, geoglifos y canales de irrigación del valle de Chincha, costa sur del Perú, como un conjunto de rasgos producto de la construcción de un paisaje ritual y político. Se plantea que los edificios monumentales del periodo Paracas tardío (400–100 a.C.) fueron puntos de llegada, encuentro y salida de grupos humanos muy bien organizados en el territorio. Para organizar y dirigir los movimientos sociales hacia esta arquitectura, las elites que dirigieron la construcción de estos rasgos en el paisaje utilizaron su conocimiento del movimiento del sol durante el año, especialmente, durante los solsticios y equinoccios.
La vie et l’activité de la pensée dans la philosophie de Maine de Biran (1766-1824)
Authors: Hamraoui Éric
Published: December 2016

Penseur de la naissance de la conscience (ou « aperception ») de soi à partir du déploiement de l’effort moteur du corps, Maine de Biran (1766-1824) analyse tout au long de son oeuvre la nature complexe et polémique des rapports entre pensée et affectivité. De nature réflexive car faisant retour sur les affections, sensations, impressions et sentiments procurés par la vie du corps, qui en obscurcissent le discernement, la première, détermination intérieure du moi, nous procure les idées que nous pouvons acquérir de nous-mêmes et de nos actes intellectuels, au fondement de notre personnalité. Or, l’affirmation de celle-ci, résultat de l’effort de stylisation en lequel consiste l’activité de la pensée, peut se trouver contrariée par des déterminants de nature endogène (les effets de l’habitude, le défaut de concentration, l’absence de but intellectuel, etc.) ou exogènes (en l’occurrence, les bouleversements d’ordre social et politique occasionnés par la Révolution française). Aussi, à côté de ses mémoires définissant sur le plan théorique les conditions de la constitution ou de la diminution du sentiment du moi, le journal intime de Biran répond à la nécessité de retrouver l’unité d’un moi fragmenté dans une société ayant perdu l’ensemble de ses hiérarchies et repères anciens. Selon Biran, la construction d’une mémoire du travail de la pensée, sans cesse confronté aux fluctuations du quotidien et aux aléas de la vie du corps, constitue le garant de cette unité. Cela sur la base d’une nette distinction entre les objets et intentions propres à la physiologie et à la psychologie, au coeur du projet d’élaboration d’une Science de l’Homme.
História e percepção: notas sobre arquitetura e fenomenologia
Authors: Scarso Davide
Published: December 2016

A arquitetura fenomenológica não possui talvez a solidez e a homogeneidade de uma escola ou de um movimento em sentido estrito, mas representa, no entanto, um vetor notável do pensamento arquitetônico contemporâneo. Juntamente com as obras de Heidegger, as obras de Merleau-Ponty são utilizadas com frequência por aqueles que se reconhecem como representantes de uma arquitetura de inspiração fenomenológica. Neste artigo será analisado o papel que o pensamento de Merleau-Ponty desenrola nas obras e no pensamento de Juhani Pallasmaa e Steven Holl, autores que se destacam pela força de seus trabalhos e pela determinação de suas posições teóricas. Particular atenção se prestará à dupla oposição que caracteriza a arquitetura fenomenológica, que se distancia com igual firmeza tanto do modernismo como do pós-modernismo. Estes autores, na reivindicação da primazia do corpo vivido e da experiência perceptiva, consideram ter encontrado um “antídoto” à ossificação produzida pela racionalidade moderna, com seus espaços funcionais e inabitáveis, como também à celebração da autorreferencialidade de um certo pós-modernismo, com seus edifícios destinados essencialmente a serem contemplados pelos apreciadores. A partir dessa dupla oposição, a arquitetura fenomenológica parece procurar um plano mais sólido numa forte acentuação da positividade da experiência corpórea e perceptiva, quando Merleau-Ponty parece empenhado, pelo contrário, em uma progressiva revisão destes aspetos.
Imigração, Estado de direito e biopolítica
Authors: Alves da Fonseca Márcio
Published: December 2016

O artigo procura discutir a atualidade da noção de biopolítica, cuja formulação inicial é dada por Foucault no ano de 1976, simultaneamente no livro A vontade de saber e no curso Em defesa da sociedade. Para tanto, toma o problema da “crise de imigração” dos últimos anos, compreendida como uma expressão da biopolítica em uma de suas concretizações extremas, na medida em que revela o acoplamento entre o domínio jurídicoestatal, os mecanismos disciplinares dos corpos e os mecanismos de segurança das populações. A partir deste exemplo, pretende refletir sobre os limites do Estado de direito que, sendo uma das categorias jurídico-políticas que se constitui como paradigma da política ocidental moderna, encontra-se confrontado com os efeitos da biopolítica no presente.
Las tesis sobre el poder de Foucault ante el problema de la subsunción
Authors: Fazio Ariel
Published: December 2016

Desde la conceptualización marxiana, la subsunción aparece como una noción fundante de la definición y descripción de la explotación propiamente capitalista, permitiendo caracterizar tanto el rol formal del capital desde el mercado de trabajo como el material o real desde la división del tarbajo y el desarrollo de la maquinaria. Pero además, a través de su reapropiación por parte de Herbert Marcuse, amplía su alcance para expresar la problemática de la servidumbre voluntaria: una dominación que incluye al tiempo que subordina a los individuos. En efecto, las nuevas necesidades y nuevas mercancías que proliferan en el capitalismo tardío llegan a condicionar, modelar y direccionar el «sí mismo» de cada uno de los individuos, constituyendo un estadio más avanzado de alienación en el que el mundo-objeto se transforma en una extensión de la mente y el cuerpo del hombre. Desde aquí, se traza un paralelo con las inquietudes del «último Foucault», que llevan a profundizar su concepto del poder a través del análisis de las diversas técnicas de sujeción de los cuerpos y de control de las poblaciones, que se traducirán en un poder disciplinario que actúa sobre los cuerpos y de un poder biopolítico que actúa sobre la especie, en contraposición con aquel poder soberano que únicamente administraba la muerte y el castigo. En este sentido, la subsunción como problema de la teoría política podría verse a su vez como una clave de lectura para entender el giro de Foucault en torno al poder. En función de esta hipótesis, la confrontación de los aportes del autonomismo italiano sobre la temática con las tesis sobre el poder del propio Foucault son desarrolladas como un camino posible para nuevas respuestas al problema contemporáneo de la subsunción.

Hydrocolloid dressing is a bioactive product used to improve the healing process of large open wounds. InMarch 2011, a horse was evaluated at the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital- UNICENTRO, Guarapuava,Brazil. The animal presented with epistaxis and inspiratory dyspnoea associated with fracture of the orbitalpart of the frontal bone with a comminuted fracture of the zygomatic process and bone loss of the articulartubercle of the temporal bone reaching the zygomatic process, tooth fracture and a partial laceration of theleft cheek with avulsion of the eyeball. After the reconstructive facial surgery and enucleation we used thehydrocolloid dressing during the repair phase. It helped re-establish the epithelial layer, avoided excessivegranulation tissue formation and decreased the healing time. Seven days after surgery and the use ofbiological membrane we verified the production of intense and controlled granulation tissue, beyond thatthe membrane was a viable and low cost alternative.

Os animais foram distribuídos em três grupos: Grupo progesterona(P4) + GnRH (P4GnRH; n=117), Grupo P4 + BE (P4BE; n=82) e um Grupo Controle P4 sem qualquer outrohormonio (C; n = 78). O P4GnRH recebeu no dia 46 (d-46), antes da sincronização do estro propriamentedita, um dispositivo intravaginal com 0,558g de P4 + exame ultrassonográfico (US) dos ovários; no d-38remoção da P4 + 100,0 mcg de hormônio liberador de gonadotrofinas (GnRH); no d0 implante da P4 +2,0 mg de benzoato de estradiol (BE) + US; no d8 remoção da P4 + 300mcg de cloprostenol + 300 UI degonadotrofina coriônica da égua prenhe (eCG); no d9 1,0 mg de BE; no d10 IATF; no d31 monta naturalcom touros e no d42 diagnóstico de prenhez; o P4BE foi submetido à idêntico protocolo ao do P4GnRH,exceto no d-38, que recebeu 2 mg de BE; o C foi submetido ao mesmo protocolo que P4GnRH na fase depré-sincronização, exceto o não recebimento de qualquer hormônio em d-38. As TP na IATF nos P4GnRH,P4BE e C resultaram respectivamente em 32,5; 29,3 e 23,0% e a TP final foi de 82,0; 74,4 e 70,5 %, comdiferença entre P4GnRH e C (P < 0,05). Não houve correlação entre os parâmetros analisados. Concluiu-seque os protocolos de pré-sincronização do estro em novilhas, utilizando a associação P4 + GnRH ou P4 + BE,aumentaram a eficiência reprodutiva em relação ao C; protocolos administrados às novilhas e direcionados apré-sincronização do estro antes do inicio da estação de monta, devem ser considerados visando o aumentoda performance reprodutiva.

This experiment aimed at determining the effect of farmyard manure (FYM)applicationon a natural pasturein Western Serbia, with a 30 t ha-1treatment incomparison to control (no fertilizer added) during two years (2012-2014).The FYMwas applied in the autumn of 2012 and the trial plots were harvested twice a year.Dry matter (DM) yield and forage quality - content of crude protein (CP),nonprotein N (%CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF) andnet energy for lactation(NEL), were estimated for each production year. Treatmentwith manure gave a higher DM yield compared to control plots in bothexperimental years (5.91 t ha-1 vs. 3.01 t ha-1 in 2013, and 2.76 vs. 2.03 t ha-1 in2014). As expected,the yield in the second cuts of both years was much lower thanin the first cuts. The FYM application did not affect chemical composition and netenergy concentration of forages, whereas significant effects of different cuts werefound, but were inconsistent between the first and second experimental year. Ingeneral, it can be concluded that application of FYM did not have a significanteffect on forage quality ina permanent grassland, whereas chemical compositionwas significantly affected by different cuts and experimental years. Based on theresults, a grassland may have a good DM yield response if FYM is used as afertilizer, while the effect on forage qualitymay be much weaker.

The organic food industry in India is in the early stages of growth. Higherdisposable income and greater health awareness have resulted in an increaseddomestic demand for organic food. There is huge premium in selling organicproducts, not only to export markets but also to affluent, health conscious domesticconsumers. India is endowed with an abundance of labour and has diverse agroclimaticregion that is well suited to year round agriculture. It still has strongtraditional agricultural practices. Can India make use of this comparative advantageto introduce sustainable agriculture practices and at the same time improveincomes of small and marginal farmers?On the supply side, small and marginalfarmers realize that there is an opportunity to get higher net incomes even if yieldsare low in organic agriculture. This is because the price of pesticides and chemicalshas increased significantly over the last few decades resulting in a significantincrease in the cost of production. Organic farming cost could be 50% to 60% lesswhen compared to inorganic farming practices.In addition to domestic demandside, globalized markets provide significant opportunities for Indian agriculture tocapture a larger share of the global demand for organic food. This paper analyzesthe growth of the organic food industry in relation to domestic and export demand.We also look at the supply side to determine if organic farming and sustainableagricultural practices could help improve farmers’ income. Finally, this paperanalyses existing policy framework towards organic agriculture and how small andmarginal farmers could possibly benefit in this niche market.

To reduce greenhouse gas emission (GGE) researchers propose to shorten theperiod of breeding calves of dairy breeds (Mirzaei-Aghsaghali et al., 2015, Fao,2010). However, producers try to prolong the time of rising animals in order to getmore valuable production. The aim of this research was to determine the impact ofdifferent dosages of inulin concentrate (50%) produced in Latvia by using specialtechnologies on calves’ health, amount of obtained production and to evaluatepossible reduction of GGE. Research has been supported by the National researchprogramme AgroBioRes (2014-2017).Four week old clinically healthy HolsteinFriesian calves which were kept in barn in individual cages were included in thisresearch. Ten were in control group (CoG) and thirty were fed with additional floursupplement (groups: Pre6 (n=10), Pre12 (n=10), Pre24 (n=10)) until the groups’median weight was above 90kg. We found out that inulin supplement reduced thecases of diarrhoea especially in Pre12 (P=95%) less than in CoG. Also, the overallhealth condition in Pre12 was the most stable. The best rate of live weight showedcalves from Pre12 and Pre24, the desired weight was exceeded on 42nd test day(median increase rate respectively 0.85 kg/day and 0.95 kg/day). Pre6 reached thatgoal on day 56 (0.76 kg/day), CoG only on 70 (0.55 kg/day). Conclusion: theoptimal dose of that supplement for speeding up the growth rate is 12g which canstabilize the health and reduce breeding time. Besides shortening breeding timeminimum to 3 weeks (i.e. 17%), GGE can be reduced too.

A change of the agricultural policy in Poland after 1990 caused significant changesin the structures of the agricultural landscape functioning in the area of WestPomerania (Pomorze Zachodnie). The field fragments, which had been in a form ofbarren land in the protective zone of Miedwie Lake for 30 years, were chosen forthe detailed phytosociological studies. The aim of the current study was theanalysis of anthropogenic impacts on flora in the surveyed terrain. In the studiedarea, the values of the synanthropization indices of the flora were as follows:synanthropization - 2.58, apophytisation - 2.0, anthropophytisation - 0.56,archaeophytisation - 0.38, kenophytisation - 0.16, and fluctuation changes in theflora - 0.04. It is assumed that the larger the share of nonsynanthropic species, thelarger the naturalness of the flora inthese biotopes. The large values for theapophytisation index showed degradation in natural habitats A large share ofanthropophytes indicates dominance of the processes of a decline in native speciesin a given biotope, which means that there are disturbances of the ecologicalbalance of a given ecosystem. The 30 year cessation of agricultural use around thelake resulted in the improvement of the chemical state of waters. A significant rolein stopping water runoff played dense sodification of the surveyed area. The stateof the flora found in this area was influenced by both natural and anthropogenicfactors. This is proved by thedominance of synanthropic over nonsynanthropic, andspontaneophytes over anthropophytes species.

Helminthes have embryotoxic and teratogenic effects to host’s cells and tissues.Investigations were carried out mainly on embryo and fetus in mammals.Blaszkowska, J. (1998); Kadlubowski R. (2000) conducted studies of in chickembryos. Dose-dependent effect is also studied and found that small doses causeembryotoxic effect, while higher doses - teratogenic. Anisakis simplex antigenshave also embryotoxic effect has been found. The aim of our research was toexamine the effect of A. simplex somatic antigen to the development of chickembryos in its experimental introduction in various ways and at different stages ofembryogenesis. For the study chicken embryos were used at different stages ofembryogenesis: 7.5, 10.5 and 12.5 days. Methods for introducing antigen chickenembryos: in the allantois cavity, on-chorion allantois membrane and yolk sac at 0.2ml. The autopsy was performed on embryos 2 and 8 days. The eggs and embryoswere weighed and evaluated the embryonic development. As a result of the firstexperience the greatest change observed by mass, and when administered in thedevelopment of antigen in both yolk sac on day 2 (1.68 ± 0.06, unlike control 2.25± 0.20), and at 8 days ( 9.97 ± 6.21 in the experiment versus 14.89 ± 0.78 in thecontrol), respectively. In the second experiment eggs were used at 1 and 5 dayincubation embryos. The antigen was administered in both cases also in the yolksac at a dose of 0.2 ml. In the second experiment there was a delay in thedevelopment of both cases at autopsy after 2 days in non-incubated eggs missingthe development of, unlike the control, the development of which 48 hourscorresponded; including 5 daily observed decrease in weight 0.88 ± 0.22, against1.05 ± 0.05 and 8 days in a similar way. As a result of experiments on the effect ofthe Anisakis simplex somatic antigen on the development of chick embryosembryotoxic action installed. Thus antigen has the greatest effect on developmentof early embryos and putting it into the yolk sac.
