The hydrochemical, physical-chemical, and biological dynamics were studied in the eastern waters of the gulf ofCariaco, where wind and precipitation patterns govern these processes to a significant degree. Average monthly values forboth surface and bottom waters were respectively as follows: temperature: 25.69 °C each; salinity: 35.41 and 35.75 units;density anomaly (ó-t): 23.43 and 23.84 kg/m3; oxygen concentration: 184.49 and 178.38 mmol/kg; pH: 7.98 and 7.94;nitrates: 3.18 and 4.22 μmol/L; nitrites: 0.45 and 0.60 μmol/L; ammonium: 1.25 and 1.39 μmol/L; total nitrogen: 25.28 and26.31 μmol/L. Phosphate concentrations between surface and bottom waters varied between 0.60 and 0.79 μmol/L, whereasthose of total phosphorus ranged from 2 to 170 μmol/L. Surface and bottom chlorophyll a concentrations ranged from 5.19to 4.33 mg/m3, respectively. ANOVA (P<0.05) did not reveal any significant variation between the values studied, but it didshow differences between the values for different months. Decomposition of organic matter was detected, as typified by bothoxygen utilization greater than 50 mmol/kg and denitrification (N*), which increased ammonium concentration and reducedthe pH during periods of upwelling relaxation. There was an imbalance between the maxima of chlorophyll a and those ofnutrients, which evidenced that phosphorus could be an inhibitor of phytoplankton production, especially during upwellingletup, when Readfield ratio increases from N:P = 16:1 up to N:P = 24:1.

Is Christianity a Hoax?
Authors: Mboti Nyasha
Published: July 2018

Can a thing be what it is not? Can a thing be where it is not, and not be where it is? Can God not be God? Can God afford to be a dununu? In this article, I unveil the “Jesus Paradox”, and try to solve it using a Biblically derived principle. I propose that Christianity is a hoax, because it breaks the “stupidity principle” or the dununu principle. The stupidity principle is the fact that a sovereign God cannot do stupid things. Christianity, though, bears all the marks of a very deep stupidity. Any God who seems to make provision for His own death, or who admits that He once died, seems to me to be a hopelessly stupid God. The Jesus paradox arises because of what seems to be a unique though simple discovery: that there is, in fact, one thing that God cannot do. God cannot afford not to be God. That is, God cannot die. The paradox which traps Jesus is that He needs to die in order to show that He is God, but by dying He forfeits being God. Could Jesus die? Can He die? Can God afford to die? In this theoretical article I draw some provisional notes around the problem. In the end, I solve the Jesus paradox through the dununu principle. Because God cannot die, resurrection and Christianity are in fact irrelevant.

The interplay of personality and social relationships is as fascinating as it is complex and it pertains to a wide array of largely separate research domains. Here, we present an integrative and unified framework for analysing the complex dynamics of personality and social relationships (PERSOC). Basic principles and general processes on the individual and dyadic level are outlined to show how personality and social relationships influence each other and develop over time. PERSOC stresses the importance of social behaviours and interpersonal perceptions as mediating processes organized in social interaction units. The framework can be applied to diverse social relationships such as first encounters, short-term acquaintances, friendships, relationships between working group members, educational or therapeutic settings, romantic relationships and family relationships. It has important consequences for how we conceptualize, understand, and investigate personality and social relationships.
A cylindrical Venn diagram model for categorical syllogisms - latest version
Authors: Radulescu Dan Constantin
Published: July 2018

One shows that a set theoretical approach to categorical syllogisms is much more natural than the“figures, moods and rules of the syllogism approach”. (The latter satisfies “Aristotle's requirementthat the middle term M should not appear in the conclusion. Striker, 2009. ) In the “set approach”one deals with the eight 3-set intersections that span a universal set U: U=MSP+MS'P+MSP'+MS'P'+M'SP+M'S'P+M'SP'+M'S'P', where S,P,M are the usual categorical terms (interpreted nowas sets) appearing in the wording of the pairs of categorical premises (PCPs) and of the logicalconclusions (LCs) which the PCPs might entail; the union of disjoints sets is denoted by a + sign;MSP:= M∩S∩P, etc.; S',P',M' are the categorical terms non-S, non-P, non-M,, now interpreted asthe complementary sets in U of the S,P,M, respectively. In this model of categorical syllogisms,when using a cylindrical Venn diagram, (Marquand 1881), (Veitch 1952), (Karnaugh 1953), it isself-evident that if a PCP entails an LC at all, (and thus generates a valid categorical argument(VCA), then the LC singles out one and only one of the 8 subsets of U, and affirms about it eitherthat it is non-empty, or, that one of the sets S,P,M,S',P',M' is empty except, possibly, the subset whichthe LC singled out. Thus the middle term M, or its complementary M', are very much part of theLC. (Of course, to satisfy Aristotle's requirement that M should not appear in the LC, an LC of thefirst type, e.g., SPM≠Ø, may be re-written, with some loss of “intuitive information”, as I(S,P), andan LC of the second type, e.g., S=SPM, may be re-written as A(S,P).) The valid syllogisms (VSs) arethose VCAs whose LCs can be re-written in the “(S,P)-format”, i.e., one of the categoricaloperators A,O,E,I is applied to the ordered pair (S,P). After the “middle term elimination”, the LCsof the VCA\VS set are of the I(S',P'), A(P,S), or O(P,S) type. It is easy to see that there are fiveclasses of PCPs – two do not entail LCs, and three do, thus generating three distinct VCA classes.Inside each VCA class, via a relabeling transformation of the sets S,P,M, S',P',M', any of the VCA(or VS) can be recast (or reformulated) as any other VCA from the same class. This “namingcovariance” suggests that, at least from a set theoretical point of view, (i) the (S,P)-format LCrestriction is not meaningful, and (ii) one may consider that there are only three distinct VCAs (andVSs), chosen as any one representative per VCA class; for example, one may choose asrepresentatives Darapti, Darii and Barbara – all the other VCAs (not only VSs) maybe written,using appropriately chosen terms, as either a Darapti, Darii or Barbara VS. There are alwaysrelabelings transforming any VCA from the VCA\VS set into a VS. The role of VCA relabelings issimilar to the role of “reduction of syllogisms” (the latter was applied only to the VSs).
Self-Assessment of Critical Thinking Skills in EFL Writing Courses at the University Level: Reconsideration of the Critical Thinking Construct
Authors: Journal Arab World English , Nadri Youssef , Azhar Adil
Published: July 2018

The Critical Thinking (CT) component has by now secured a key place within EFL curriculum aims and objectives. The integration of a CT dimension into the teaching of the writing skill in particular has received considerable attention in research. However, research has also pointed to the failure of assessment practices to evaluate CT development. It is within this context that the present work advocates a standard based approach to the assessment of CT in EFL writing that aligns assessment criteria to the critical abilities articulated in the learning outcomes (i.e., standards). This fosters a conception of CT measures that associates components of CT with higher order writing skills. Accordingly, the first objective of the study is to empirically test the relationship between CT dispositions and metacognitive strategy use in an attempt to establish a model of writing (self-)assessment that combines these two dimensions. As assessment is viewed as a formative evaluation process subservient of learning, the study also targets the students’ self-assessment strategies during the writing process. To this purpose, a questionnaire has been designed, and administered to 100 students at the Faculty of Letters and Human Sciences in Rabat to tap their perceptions and use of CT skills. The data analysis revealed that critical thinking development and assessment are metacognitive in nature; it follows that metacognitive skills such as planning, self-evaluating and reflecting are to be used as an essential vehicle in the development of Critical Thinking skills. This points to the paramount role of CT-informed formative (self-)assessment practices in benefiting ELT writing learners.
Slovak-Hungarian relations in the mirror of the Soviet-German conflictive alliance (1939–1941)
Authors: Piahanau Aliaksandr
Published: July 2018

This article focuses on Slovak-Hungarian relations in the context of the Soviet-German framed antagonism (1939-1941). It tends to show that Slovakia and Hungary tried to rely on those two powers in order to achieve their revisionist aims. Reversely, they were exploited by Berlin or Moscow in their diplomatic chessboards until the Soviet-German war, which was underway by 1941. Between September 1939 and June 1941, Bratislava raised a few times territorial demands to Hungary. Those revisionist attempts were sometimes backed by Berlin, especially when, willing to recover Transylvania, Budapest tried to benefit from Soviet territorial ambitions in Romania. However, after the Second Vienna Award (30 August 1940), Germany exerted pressure on Slovakia so that she would abandon her revisionist ideas.

Practical barriers to implementation prevent the promises of genetic medicine from being realized across the U.S. healthcare system. Though new genetic technologies are introduced daily, the process of determining if, when, and how to use them can take decades. Last Fall, we convened a multi-stakeholder summit to address systemic barriers to delivering precision medicine at scale. In particular, we focused on digital infrastructure connecting genetic information in healthcare. Our group consists of stakeholders across the supply chain including health insurers, clinicians, hospital systems, researchers, policy makers, patient advocates, clinical laboratories, technology vendors, and drug developers. Through facilitated discussions, we identified barriers to ordering, performing, delivering, reimbursing, and regulating genetic tests and the information they provide, and generated proposals to overcome these barriers. In a series of in-depth panel discussions and solution-oriented breakout sessions, we explored five key focus areas: (1) Laboratory quality and patient safety; (2) clinical validity, utility, and value assessment at scale; (3) test identification for market tracking, evidence-gathering, billing, and payment; (4) provider education, communication, and support at the point-of-care; and (5) patient access and control of genetic data. Here, we present each focus area with potential solutions and suggested next steps. Consistent with the Summit, all five draw on multi-stakeholder solutions to pressing problems, ultimately enabling a more connected genetic health information network to serve patients more effectively. To maintain a near-to-mid-term time horizon, both the meeting and this paper focus on projects that can achieve meaningful advancement within a 3-year time frame.

CONTENIDO DE GRASA Y PROTEINA EN Pygocentrus cariba, Prochilodus mariae, Plagioscion squamosissimus, Piaractus brachypomus e Hypostomus plecostomus EN UNA LAGUNA DE INUNDACION DEL ORINOCO MEDIO
Authors: González Ángel , Márquez Arístide , Senior William James , Martínez Gregorio
Published: July 2018

It was determined the concentration of fat and protein in the muscular tissue of 40 fish of each one of the species Pygocentrus cariba, Prochilodus mariae, Plagioscion squamosissimus, Piaractus brachypomus and Hypostomus plecostomus; captured in a lagoon flood of the middle Orinoco river using gillnets. The protein content and fat were determined by the methods of the Association of Official Analytical Chemistry (AOAC), being considered an average in the concentration of fat for P. cariba of 0.30 ± 0.01%; 0.60 ± 0.01% for H. plecostomus; 0.65 ± 0.01% for P. mariae; 0.90 ± 0.01% for P. squamosissimus and 1.55 ± 0.01% for P. brachypomus. The average in the protein concentration was of 19.60 ± 0.10% for P. mariae; 19.70 ± 0.13% for P. squamosissimus 19.70 ± 0.09% for H. plecostomus; 19.80 ± 0.15% for P. cariba and 19.80 ± 0.15% for P. brachypomus. A variance analysis (ANOVA) and a later test of Duncan it demonstrated differences statistically significant in the content of fat among species, with the bigger values of fat corresponding to P. brachypomus and P. squamosissimus and the smallest to P. cariba. The protein contents did not present significant differences. Seemingly the species P. cariba, P. mariae, P. squamosissimus, P. brachypomus and H. plecostomus, in general have a low content of fat and a high protein concentration, depending their concentrations mainly of the food, reproduction time and migration. This work constitutes a contribution to the knowledge of the chemical composition of these species, some of commercial importance as P. squamosissimus, P. brachypomus and P. mariae and other ecologically important as P. cariba and H. plecostomus.
Weighted Brier score decompositions for topically heterogenous forecasting tournaments
Authors: Merkle Edgar C.
Published: July 2018

Brier score decompositions, including those attributed to Murphy and to Yates, provide popular metrics for estimating forecast performance attributes like calibration and discrimination. However, the decompositions are generally limited to situations where forecasters make successive forecast judgments against the same class of substantive event (e.g., rain vs. no rain). They do not readily translate to common situations where: forecasts are weighted unequally; forecasts can be made against a range of heterogeneous topics and events over varying time horizons; forecasts can be updated over time until an event occurs or an event deadline is reached; or outcome alternatives can vary in number and nature (e.g., ordered vs. unordered outcomes) across forecast questions. In this paper, we propose extensions of the Murphy and Yates decompositions to address these features. The extensions involve new analytic expressions for the decompositions of weighted Brier scores, along with proposed resampling methods. We use data from a recent forecasting tournament to illustrate the methods.

The content of Fe, Mn, Cu, Cr, Ni, Zn, Cd and Pb in muscle tissuesof fish and crustaceans from the Unare lagoon (Lagunade Unare) in the state of Anzoátegui, Venezuela, was analyzedby flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry. The levels of thesemetals present in suspended material of the water and in sedimentswere also determined in order to detect possible impacton the ecosystem. The mean concentrations in the water werelow (0.104-0.53 μmol/L Fe; 0.004-0.06 μmol/L Mn; 0.002-0.028μmol/L Zn; 0.004-0.012 μmol/L Cr; undetectable-0.011 μmol/LNi and undectable-0.001 μmol/L Cd). In the sediments, evidencewas found of anthropogenic intervention with mean valuesin decreasing order of Mn (516.37) > Zn (127.49) > Ni(52.41) > Cr (51.69) > Cu (41.13) > Pb (29) > Cd (1.51 μg/g),all of which are greater than established levels for uncontaminatedsediments. Toxic metals were detected in the examinedorganisms, such as lead and cadmium with levels above 0.16and 0.04 μg/g, respectively, and zinc with levels greater than17 μg/g in the majority of the species. ANOVA statistical tests(P < 0.05) show discrepancies in the concentrations or themetals in the tissues of the different genera and species, aswell as in the values for individuals of the same species(Cathorops spixii) which live inside and outside of the lagoon.The levels are higher in those which live within the lagoon, which indicates bioaccumulation processes. This study confirmsthat the lagoon and its biota have suffered a progressiveand important deterioration inasmuch as the neighboring populationrelies on the commercialization of the fish and crustaceansfor their economic stability.
Managing challenges and cultivating collaborations in Indonesia's knowledge society
Authors: Purwaningrum Farah
Published: July 2018

AbstractThe transition to a knowledge society in South East Asia since the 1970s has produced differing effects in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. The paper explores the challenges and existing collaborations of Indonesia's knowledge society. On the basis of a qualitative investigation based on interviews with 18 policymakers in Indonesia, observations from eight meetings and documentary analysis from 2011 to 2016, the paper sheds light on the historical, structural and scientisation problems encountered by Indonesia's knowledge society. This includes the challenges that academia faces in scientific knowledge production at the micro level and macro level. Further, the analysis suggests that existing collaborations between different governmental levels and academia are based on trust and friendship rather than scientific pursuits. Also, collaboration between industry and academia is likely to occur when the industry acts as an initiator. The author contends that for a knowledge society to materialise in Indonesia, challenges need to be managed and certain collaborations that nurture scientific knowledge production need to be cultivated.

Published: July 2018

Rapid technological advances, such as the development of next-generation sequencing, are driving the need for comprehensive computational tools to analyse the wealth of generated genomic data. Systematic benchmarking has been successful in many research disciplines to help non-computational researchers evaluate the accuracy and applicability of new computational tools. Adopting a standardized benchmarking practice and following established principles for the design of new benchmarking studies could help researchers using omics data to better leverage technological innovation. In this Review, we propose step-by-step instructions for increasing reusability, transparency, and reproducibility of benchmarking studies by using containerization, common data representation, open data, and systematic parameter description.

The predictive value of early intraocular pressure and bleb morphology in mitomycin-C augmented trabeculectomy
Authors: Loewen Nils
Published: July 2018

Purpose: To determine the predictive value of postoperative bleb morphologic features and intraocular pressure (IOP) on the success rate of trabeculectomy.Methods: In this prospective interventional case series, we analyzed 80 consecutive open angle glaucoma patients who underwent mitomycin-augmented trabeculectomy. The IOP and bleb morphology was assessed before surgery and on day 1, 7, 14, and month 1, 3, 6, and 12. The bleb morphology was scored according to the Indiana bleb appearance grading scale (IBAGS). Success was defined as IOP of ≤15 mmHg with or without medications at 12 months. We tested for IOP and bleb morphological differences between groups and applied a multivariable regression analysis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was determined. Results: The mean age of the study participants was 62.3±13.1 years with equal gender distribution (P=0.911). Patients matching the success definition of an IOP of ≤15 mmHg at 12 months did not have an IOP that was statistically different from individuals with an unsuccessful outcome on day 1, 7 and 30, respectively (7.4±2.5 vs 6.0±2.4 mmHg (P=0.193), 7.8±2.5 vs 7.1±2.1 mmHg (P=0.639), 8.4±2.4 vs 9.3±4.6 mmHg (P=0.238)). The AUC of IOP at day 1, day 7 and 30 for a successful outcome was 0.355, 0.452, and 0.80, respectively. The AUC for bleb morphology parameters of bleb height, extension, and vascularization on day 14 were 0.368, 0.408, and 0.549, respectively. Values for day 30 were 0.428, 0.563, and 0.654. The IOP change from day 1 to day 30 was a good predictor of success (AUC=0.838, 95% CI: 0.704 to 0.971). A change in IOP less than or equal to 3 mmHg was predictive of success at 12 months with a sensitivity of 82.5% (95% CI: 68 to 91%) and a specificity of 87.5% (95% CI: 53 to 98%).Conclusion: The postoperative IOP on day 30 had a fair to good accuracy while the bleb features failed to predict a successful outcome. An IOP increase by as little as 3 mmHg during the first 30 days was a good predictor of failure.

Awesome play: Awe increases preschooler’s exploration and discovery
Authors: Colantonio Joseph , Bonawitz Elizabeth
Published: July 2018

Affective states, exploration, and learning are tightly inter- twined. For example, research has connected surprise to play and learning in early development (Stahl & Feigenson, 2015), but less is known about the potential impact of other affec- tive states and how they might influence exploration and sub- sequent discovery. Given that past research has suggested that awe may increase feelings of uncertainty and lead to pursuit of cognitive accommodation in adults (Valdesolo & Graham, 2014), we posit that awe-induced uncertainty may similarly lead children to think-outside-the-box and explore more during play. In Experiment 1, we modify emotion-inducing videos (Awe, Happy and Calm) and validate them on adult participants using the perceived self-size Circle Task (Bai et al., 2017). In Experiment 2, children were presented with one of the three videos and their exploratory play with a novel toy was recorded. Results revealed both a significant effect of the manipulation (children associated with smaller selves in the Awe condition) and also an influence of the videos on play. Children in the Awe condition played more and explored more variably than children in the control conditions. These results suggest that awe influences motivation that increases variability and discovery in exploration.

The Effect of Segregated Cities on Ethnoracial Minority Healthcare System Distrust
Authors: Gibbons Joseph
Published: July 2018

Distrust of the health system is a longstanding issue for ethnoracial minorities, especially for Blacks. Not well understood, however, is the role ethnoracial segregation within a city plays in this distrust. While segregation is typically associated with neighborhood ills, there is evidence that it also can moderate distrust. This study draws on the 2008 wave of the Public Health Management Corporation's Southeastern Pennsylvania Household Health Survey and the 2005-2009 American Community Survey to explore the possibility that segregation effects healthcare system distrust. Using Hierarchical Linear Modeling, we find residence in predominately Black neighborhoods was associated with less distrust in the healthcare system for the Black respondents while residence in mixed neighborhood was associated with more distrust for Black respondents. These findings call for a reevaluation of how healthcare system distrust is understood. Distrust has been connected to poorer health outcomes, playing into wider gaps in ethnoracial minority health outcomes.

Critical Thinking Development: The Case of the English Course in the CPGE Classes in Meknes, Fes and Kenitra
Authors: Journal Arab World English , Belghiti Karima , Allame Yamina El Kirat El , Chana Mohamed

Critical thinking is generally claimed to be an essential requirement to effective learning and productive living. In a world of rapid change and globalization, skills such as problem solving, decision making and critical thinking are believed to be particularly acute for engineering graduates. While the Moroccan public university has just started to gain interest in critical thinking development (Belghiti, 2012; El Kirat & Belghiti, 2014), the Moroccan engineering education has been fostering such skills for many years now; this has led the English Language Teaching (ELT) guidelines of the Classes Préparatoires aux Grandes Ecoles (CPGE) in Morocco to clearly emphasize the explicit use of critical thinking instruction in the English courses to develop the students' critical thinking and prepare them for the social and professional life. Accordingly, this study has attempted to investigate the extent to which critical thinking skills are important in the English course in engineering preparatory classes. It has also aimed to investigate the teaching and assessment practices used in the English classes to develop the students' critical thinking skills. Adopting the mixed methods approach, the study focused on the CPGE centers in Meknes, Fez, and Kenitra. The findings of the study revealed that both CPGE students and teachers are aware of the importance of critical thinking at the professional, academic, social and personal levels. The findings also revealed that the teaching and assessment of critical thinking is done in an explicit way in the CPGE English classes.
Maternal sensitivity to distress, attachment and the development of callous-unemotional traits in young children
Authors: Wright Nicola , Hill Jonathan , Sharp Helen , Pickles Andrew
Published: July 2018

Background: Callous-unemotional (CU) traits are characterized by a lack of responsiveness to the emotions of others, particularly negative emotions. A parenting environment where the child’s own distress emotions are sensitively responded to may help foster the child’s ability to respond to the emotions of others. We tested whether maternal sensitivity to distress, and other parenting characteristics, were associated with CU traits over the preschool period, and examined whether this was mediated via infant attachment status.Method: In an epidemiological cohort, CU traits were assessed at age 2.5, 3.5, and 5.0 years by mother report. Dimensions of parenting were assessed in free play at age 29 weeks in a stratified subsample of 272, and attachment status at 14 months (n = 265). Structural equation modelling with maximum likelihood estimation was used to examine predictions from parenting dimensions and attachment status. Results: A parenting factor comprised of sensitivity to distress (n = 207), sensitivity to non-distress, positive regard towards the infant, and intrusiveness, predicted child CU traits (p = .023). This effect was accounted for mainly by sensitivity to distress (p = .008) and positive regard (p = .023) which showed a synergistic effect as evidenced by a significant interaction (p = .01). This arose because the combination of low sensitivity to distress and low positive regard created the risk for elevated CU traits. Although sensitivity and positive regard predicted attachment security and disorganization, there were no associations between attachment status and CU traits. Conclusions: The finding of contributions from both sensitivity to infant distress and positive regard to reduced CU traits suggests that children’s responsiveness to others’ emotions may be increased by their own mothers’ responsiveness to them and their mothers’ warmth. There was no evidence that this was mediated via attachment status. Implications for intervention and future directions are discussed.
