Pindara revisited – evolution and generic limits in Helvellaceae
Authors: Hansen K. , Schumacher T. , Skrede I. , Huhtinen S. , Wang X.-H.
Published: April 2019

The Helvellaceae encompasses taxa that produce some of the most elaborate apothecial forms, as well as hypogeous ascomata, in the class Pezizomycetes (Ascomycota). While the circumscription of the Helvellaceae is clarified, evolutionary relationships and
generic limits within the family are debatable. A robust phylogeny of the Helvellaceae, using an increased number of molecular characters from the LSU rDNA, RPB2 and EF-1α gene regions (4 299 bp) and a wide representative sampling, is presented here. Helvella
s.lat. was shown to be polyphyletic, because Helvella aestivalis formed a distant monophyletic group with hypogeous species of Balsamia and Barssia. All other species of Helvella formed a large group with the enigmatic Pindara (/Helvella) terrestris
nested within it. The ear-shaped Wynnella constitutes an independent lineage and is recognised with the earlier name Midotis. The clade of the hypogeous Balsamia and Barssia, and H. aestivalis is coherent in the three-gene phylogeny, and considering the lack
of phenotypic characters to distinguish Barssia from Balsamia we combine species of Barssia, along with H. aestivalis, in Balsamia. The closed/tuberiform, sparassoid H. astieri is shown to be a synonym of H. lactea; it is merely an incidental
folded form of the saddle-shaped H. lactea. Pindara is a sister group to a restricted Helvella, i.e., excluding the /leucomelaena lineage, on a notably long branch. We recognise Pindara as a separate genus and erect a new genus Dissingia for the /leucomelaena
lineage, viz. H. confusa, H. crassitunicata, H. leucomelaena and H. oblongispora. Dissingia is supported by asci that arise from simple septa; all other species of Helvellaceae have asci that arise from croziers, with one exception being the /alpina-corium
lineage of Helvella s. str. This suggests ascus development from croziers is the ancestral state for the Helvellaceae and that ascus development from simple septa has evolved at least twice in the family. Our phylogeny does not determine the evolutionary relationships within
Helvella s.str., but it is most parsimonious to infer that the ancestor of the helvelloids produced subsessile or shortly stipitate, cup-shaped apothecia. This shape has been maintained in some lineages of Helvella s.str. The type species of Underwoodia, Underwoodia
columnaris, is a sister lineage to the rest of the Helvellaceae.
A MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF PAPER DRYING
Authors: Cepitis J.
Published: April 2019

The mathematical model of wood drying based on a detailed transport phenomena considering both heat and moisture transfer have been offered in the article [5]. We apply this model to quickly moving paper sheet. The range of the moisture content correspond to the period of drying and only vapor movement in the web is possible. By averaging we have obtained the desired model as a system of two nonlinear first order ordinary differential equations.
Droit et éthique chez Kant
Authors: Braz Adelino
Published: April 2019

Au sein de la Métaphysique des mœurs publiée en 1797, l’impératif catégorique kantien se présente comme le fondement commun au droit et à l’éthique, comme lois de liberté. Kant considère alors le droit comme un concept moral et construit une autonomie de la volonté générale. Afin de dépasser l’hétérogénéité qui existe entre ces lois morales, dans la relation de la loi à la volonté, il est alors nécessaire de penser la relation entre droit et éthique comme un passage téléologique. Dans ce procédé qui s’inscrit dans l’histoire comme lieu de réalisation des dispositions originelles, le droit se révèle alors comme moyen de son propre dépassement, dans la mesure où il conduit la communauté humaine à sortir de l’état de nature et à entrer dans un état civil, afin de tendre vers sa destination finale qui réside dans un état éthique. Ainsi, chaque individu, au sein de la communauté éthico-civile, ne vivra plus sous des lois de contrainte mais bien sous des lois de vertu. Il s’ensuit que la pensée morale de Kant ne doit plus être lue selon la perspective d’un monologisme, mais au contraire dans l’horizon d’une communauté humaine universelle.
À une déesse inconnue
Authors: Quaglioni Diego
Published: April 2019

La conception pré-moderne du droit traverse la pensée philosophique, en lui fournissant un outillage conceptuel, des modèles à raviver ou à critiquer, des arguments, des problématiques et, avant tout, les éléments d’un dialogue. Des textes les plus classiques aux moins fréquentés de l’histoire de la philosophie, la culture juridique est omniprésente, mais le temps, l’évolution de l’enseignement et le partage des disciplines l’ont rendue invisible. L’ignorer, c’est se priver de fils d’Ariane souvent irremplaçables pour construire les cheminements de l’histoire de la philosophie. Centré sur la justice comme exigence intrinsèque au droit, l’ouvrage de Diego Quaglioni comble cette lacune.L’auteur met à l’épreuve une hypothèse de travail à tous égards provocatrice pour les philosophes : « Au moins pour ce qui concerne la justice, la clef de l’histoire de la philosophie est l’histoire du droit. » L’ouvrage s’attache à la constitution historique du « paradigme pré-moderne de la justice », dans la vision romaine du droit revivifiée par les glossateurs, couplée avec celle de la théologie développée dans le droit canon et réélaborée par Thomas d’Aquin. Il fait la part belle à la fin du Moyen Âge (Bartole), à l’humanisme et à la Renaissance (Alberti, Pietro del Monte, Machiavel, Guichardin, Bodin), jusqu’à la dissolution du fondement éthique et religieux universel du paradigme (Montaigne, Grotius). La méthode de Diego Quaglioni, strictement historique, repose sur la présentation, la traduction et le commentaire des textes les plus significatifs d’une tradition qui va de l’Antiquité romaine au seuil de l’époque classique. Issu d’un cours tenu à l’Université Paris I, l’ouvrage propose aux étudiants et aux chercheurs, littéraires, philosophes, historiens ou juristes, une introduction stimulante et précise à la conception pré-moderne du droit et de la justice.

À la vision d’un Moyen Âge replié sur lui-même et fractionné en mondes clos, les travaux du XXXIIe Congrès de la Société des historiens médiévistes de l’enseignement supérieur public, réuni à l’Université du Littoral Côte d’Opale en mai 2001, opposent le tableau vivant d’une société animée par la vigueur de ses échanges culturels.

Donner et recevoir : le système de l’échange est évidemment au cœur de toute vie sociale au Moyen Âge. Il s’agit ici d’un échange de type particulier, où prime la dimension symbolique : de là sans doute l’accent mis sur les reliques, objets cultuels et textes sacrés. Les essais réunis dans ce volume tentent pourtant d’appréhender l’échange culturel dans toutes ses composantes, des plus matérielles (les lieux, les acteurs, les supports) aux plus idéelles (Comment mesurer une influence ? Qu’est-ce qu’une aire de diffusion culturelle ?).

Ce qui est en jeu ici, c’est bien l’existence d’un système de communication médiéval, qui associe étroitement la parole, le geste et l’écrit, et permet, grâce à l’intensification des transferts culturels, de voir se dessiner l’ébauche d’une culture européenne.
Le temps des moulines
Authors: Verna Catherine
Published: April 2019

La mouline est une forge hydraulique de réduction directe, l’ancêtre de la forge à la catalane du XVIIe siècle. Elle apparaît autour des années 1300 en Languedoc où elle se diffuse avec rapidité et s’implante durablement dans les Pyrénées centrales. Autour de la mine de la communauté de Vicdessos, dans les montagnes du comté de Foix, s’organise ainsi une industrie du fer, pourvoyeuse d’acier, qui ne s’effondre pas avec la guerre et au contraire profite du retournement de conjoncture à partir de la seconde moitié du XIVe siècle.

Le temps des moulines est donc aux origines de la mécanisation du travail du fer dans la France méridionale. Le cas de cette forge hydraulique illustre les modalités de diffusion d’une innovation technique, celles de son implantation durable puis de son abandon. La mouline a bouleversé les conditions traditionnelles de production ; elle a alimenté un marché qui dépasse la sphère locale ; elle a mobilisé l’intérêt des comtes de Foix qui ont su accompagner l’innovation par leur législation ; elle a imposé une redéfinition des droits d’usage sur le bois et le minerai qui a confirmé la force des maîtres de mouline au sein de la puissante communauté de Vicdessos et face aux comtes de Foix.

Ainsi, cette histoire des techniques est également une histoire du travail et du pouvoir et renvoie à des interrogations toujours d’actualité.
Entre Vosges et Forêt-Noire
Authors: Kammerer Odile
Published: April 2019

L’histoire médiévale du Saint Empire romain germanique offre une séquence à la fois emblématique et singulière dans sa partie sud-ouest, entre Vosges et Forêt-Noire, l’Oberrhein : aucune unité politique pendant le siècle qui sépare la disparition des Staufen et la reconstruction impériale de Charles IV (entre 1250 et 1350 environ). Ce paysage politique émietté correspondait parfaitement à la géographie impériale. En revanche, l’Oberrhein montre une véritable cohérence dans son mode de vie, sa langue et sa dynamique économique. D’où vient cet étonnant paradoxe d’une entité de vie sans unité politique ? L’analyse des pouvoirs princiers, ecclésiastiques ou laïques tente d’expliquer dans un premier temps pourquoi il n’y eut pas de comte de l’Oberrhein. Puis, l’étude se porte sur les terroirs qui ont modelé une distribution et une occupation de l’espace, caractérisées par la densité et l’abondance. Le réseau des petites villes, enfin, évoluant d’alliances informelles en ligues, permet de comprendre l’originalité de cette région aux campagnes urbanisées et aux cités rurales. Cette séquence de l’histoire se termine par la réussite du regroupement territorial des Habsbourg, et le retour d’un pouvoir impérial qui va instrumentaliser en 1354 le réseau des villes en créant la Décapole.

Où commence l’étranger dans la société médiévale ? comment y vit-on en étranger ? peut-on au Moyen Âge supporter « l’autre », celui qui n’est pas au village, de la ville où on naît et travaille, celui qui ne parle pas la même langue ? Ce sont les questions, si fort d’actualité, qui ont servi de trame aux travaux du XXXe congrès de la Société des historiens médiévistes de l’Enseignement supérieur public, accueilli en juin 1999 à Göttingen, lieu hautement symbolique, par la Mission historique française en Allemagne et l’Institut Max Planck d’histoire.

Les communications, prolongées par les conclusions d’Otto Gerhard Oexle, font le point sur la manière dont les hommes du Moyen Âge concevaient l’altérité. Les pratiques, les institutions, et aussi l’imaginaire ont contribué à faire de l’étranger une figure marquante de l’ordre social. Mobiles par vocation ou par nécessité, marchands, hommes d’armes, hommes d’Église, intellectuels et artistes ont suscité et façonné des manières d’être, des lieux de rencontre, des statuts codifiés, mais aussi des comportements de méfiance et de rejet, dans un constant va-et-vient entre exclusion et intégration.

Authors: Ben Charhi Youssef , Mannane Nada , Bendriss Elmahdi , Boubker Regragui
Published: April 2019

Cyberattacks present a ubiquitous threat to an enterprise's information in Cloud Computing assets and must be properly controlled. The use of the current generation of IDS have various limitations on their performance making them not effective for cloud computing security and could generate a huge number of false-positive alarms. Analyzing intrusion based on attack patterns and risk assessment has demonstrated its efficiency in reducing the number of false alarms and optimizing the IDS performances. However, the use of the same value of likelihood makes the approach lack a real risk value determination. This article intends to present a new probabilistic and behavioral approach for likelihood determination to quantify attacks in cloud environment. With the main task to increase the efficiency of IDS and decrease the number of alarms. Experimental results show that the approach is superior to the state-of-the-art approach for intrusion detection in the cloud.
Integrating Enablers of Sustainable Freight Transportation and Perishable Commodity Supply Chain
Authors: Goswami Mohit , Sarma PRS , Kumar Gopal
Published: April 2019

Extant research has addressed the challenges pertaining to sustainable freight transportation and those associated with transportation of perishable commodities in disparate ways in that enablers of sustainable freight transportation have not been mapped with the considerations of transportation related to perishable commodities. This is characterized by short product life-cycles, retail demand uncertainties, traceability issues and so forth. In this backdrop, the authors' research attempts to integrate the considerations related to sustainable freight transportation with that of perishability-related aspects. To this end, this research employs interpretive structural modelling (ISM) so that enablers related to both the problems can be fused and modeled in such a way that enablers related to independent, autonomous, dependent, and linkage attributes can be identified, and their interactions can be understood.

Authors: Parsad Chandan , Chandra Chandra Prakash , Suman Shekhar
Published: April 2019

This study sets out to identify the various factors of a health drink product that affects the consumer decision-making process. It aims to determine the relative importance connected to multiple aspects of health drink beverages, such as brand, nutrition content, taste, muscle building, brain boosting, price, ingredients, and country of origin. The paper also aims to identify consumer segments by the relative importance consumers give to various attributes of health drinks. Through examining the literature, the researchers identified various attributes of health drinks, which they analyzed empirically using a choice-based conjoint survey conducted with the help of the internet-based software 1000minds. Cluster analysis was also done to identify different consumer segments. The study identified two consumer segments: brand conscious and value conscious. As the name indicates, the brand-conscious segment gives more importance to a trusted brand, followed by nutrition content and price.
Determination of Internal and External Surface Area of Atomistic Porous Carbons
Authors: Phadungbut Poomiwat , Bunsaksit Chanon , Dachdecho Kemmatat , Kedtip Chosita
Published: April 2019

In this work, we propose the computational algorithm to compute the temperature-independent specific surface area of atomistic models of porous carbons. Concisely, the method is to divide the simulation space into fine grid points, place the selected probe molecule on each grid point and then check whether that insertion is accessible or inaccessible regions based on molecular force field. Three models of porous carbon structures are chosen as examples for estimating internal and external specific surface areas and trend of surface curvature. By comparing the computational cost, our proposed technique significantly requires less time-consuming than the physisorption. Therefore, for atomistic models of porous carbons, we recommend that our proposed method be more efficient and accurate than the experimentally and computationally traditional physisorption.
The Effect of Poly(Butylene Adipate-co-Terephthalate) on Crystallization Behavior and Morphology of Poly(3-Hydroxybutyrate-co-3-Hydroxyvalerate)
Authors: Duangphet Sitthi , Szegda Damian , Tarverdi Karnik , Song Jim
Published: April 2019

The effects of poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) on crystallization behavior and morphology of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) were studied to provide the useful information to control and improve PHBV processing. PHBV were blended with 15, 30 and 50 wt% PBAT by twin screw extrusion and these were subsequently compared to unblended PHBV. The rate of crystal development determined from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at 120 °C showed that the incorporation of PBAT retarded the crystal growth rate. Moreover, the crystal structure of polymer blends was examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the results revealed that PBAT did not affect the crystal structure of PHBV. The responses of the melt-crystallized PHBV to different quantities of PBAT were recorded by polarized optical microscopy (POM). The results demonstrated that the size of spherulite dramatically increased when 15 wt% PBAT was added and the shape of spherulite was imperfect when PBAT reached 30 wt%. The morphologies of PHBV and its blends on the freeze-fractured specimens were exposed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SEM images revealed the phase separation of PHBV/ PBAT blends in any composition. The morphology of 15 and 30 wt% PBAT presented droplet in matrix morphology and changed to co-continuous morphology at 50 wt% PBAT.

Published: April 2019

Portland cement consists essentially of compounds of lime mixed with silica and alumina whereas zeolite is a kind of minerals containing high content of reactive silica and alumina. Therefore, there is a probability to apply zeolite in cement mortar in order to develop mortar properties. The purpose of this research was to study and analyze the efficiency of zeolite addition on properties of cement mortar. X-ray diffraction (XRD), universal testing machine (UTM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to characterize for mortar specimens. Mechanical property test was compressive strength according to ASTM C109 and carried out on 5 x 5 x 5 cm3 cube specimens at 1, 7 and 28 curing days. In this research, cement mortars were prepared by mixing type I Portland cement, fly ash, sand and zeolite. Zeolite was varied as 0, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 wt.% to cement and w/b (water to binder ratio) was 0.48. The results presented that the compressive strength of mortar with small amount of zeolite was improved since 1day age obviously comparing to that of mortar without zeolite. It was confirmed that zeolite would help strengthening the cement mortars at early strength.
Study of Underflow Diameter, Vortex Finder, Cylindrical and Conical Lengths of a Hydrocyclone to Achieve High Separation Sharpness
Authors: Supachart Pakpoom , Swasdisevi Thanit , Wongsarivej Pratarn
Published: April 2019

In the past, the main function of a hydrocyclone was to separate solids from a liquid. At a later time, it has been continually developed for classification functions in addition to separation. Therefore, this research aimed to study experimentally the effects of underflow diameter, vortex finder, cylindrical and conical lengths of a hydrocyclone on separation sharpness. The separation sharpness was studied using a 40-mm hydrocyclone body diameter. The tested suspension was a mixture of silica and water. The silica particles have a mean diameter of 8.097 µm at a feed-flow rate of 1 m3/h. The experimental result revealed that an increase in the separation sharpness resulted from either increasing vortex finder or conical length of the hydrocyclone, either decreasing underflow diameter or cylindrical length. To increase the separation sharpness of the 40-mm hydrocyclone, the designer should consider the hydrocyclone dimensions by choosing an underflow diameter of 2.4 mm, vortex finder length of 40 mm, cylindrical length of 60 mm and conical length of 280 mm.
Effect of Boron Addition and Sintering Atmosphere on Precipitation in Sintered Fe-Mo-C Steels

Published: April 2019

Sintered steels, with and without boron addition, were prepared from powder compacts of pre-alloyed Fe-1.5Mo powder mixed with varied amounts of graphite (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 wt.%) and hexagonal boron nitride (0 and 0.5 wt.%). Sintering was performed either in hydrogen or in vacuum atmosphere at 1280 °C for 45 minutes. The post-sintering cooling was performed in a furnace that was equivalent to 0.1 °C/s. The sintered boron-free steels showed dual-phase microstructure consisting polygonal ferrite and precipitate-containing grains. Each precipitate-containing grain contained packets, each of which was characterized by lamellar structure with alternating fibrous particles and ferritic laths, when carbon contents were in the range 0.1-0.3 wt.%. All the grains containing fine needle particles decorating ferritic lath boundaries were observed in the sintered Fe-Mo-0.4C steels. Boron addition caused some effects on sintered steels. The action of boron was the formation of grain boundary boride in the vacuum-sintered steels although it was hardly observed in case of hydrogen-sintered steels. Boron also promoted precipitation inside polygonal ferrite grains and along ferritic lath boundaries. The precipitate particle shape was fine needle-like in the sintered boron-containing steels. Due to liquid phase sintering, as a result of eutectic melting, the associated grain growth was observed. Disappearance of grain boundary boride was evidenced in the hydrogen-sintered steels. Without boron addition, hardening of the sintered steels strongly depended on carbon content. With boron addition, all the sintered steels showed high tensile strength and hardness even in the case of no graphite addition. Hardening action by carbon in the sintered boron-containing steels was weaker than that in the sintered boron-free steels.
The Interconnected Open-Channel Highly Porous Carbon Material Derived from Pineapple Leaf Fibers as a Sustainable Electrode Material for Electrochemical Energy Storage Devices
Authors: Kingsakklang Saran , Roddecha Supacharee , Sriariyana Malinee
Published: April 2019

The activated porous carbon anode material was successfully prepared from the agro-waste pineapple leaf fiber by using the simple hydrothermal technique and KOH chemical activation under heat treatment in Ar atmosphere. The obtained amorphous activated carbon with three-dimensional interconnected porous structure exhibited a high specific surface area of about 1520 m2/g. Furthermore, polyaniline (PANI) conductive polymer was grown on the porous carbon surface to promote its capacitance for the preliminary test as the anode for a lithium battery. The SEM characterization revealed the homogeneous longitudinal growth of polyaniline crystalline at the applied concentration of 0.03M aniline monomers on the surface of targeted porous carbon. The pineapple leaf fiber derived activated porous carbon could exhibit high capacity density as 320 mAh/g for the initial charge-discharge test and then substantially dropped to the reversible capacity of about 63 mAh/g at a current density of 0.5C. After composited with polyaniline, the porous carbon/polyaniline composite showed the superior initial capacity density of 425 mAh/g with the following improved reversible capacity by 27% relative to that of the bared porous carbon material. Moreover, the conducted porous carbon/polyaniline composite could also sustain higher cycle stability after 50 cycling tests.

Sensitivity of submarine melting on North East Greenland towards ocean forcing
Authors: Anhaus Philipp , Smedsrud Lars H. , Årthun Marius , Straneo Fiammetta
Published: April 2019

Abstract. The Nioghalvfjerdsbræ (79NG) is a floating ice tongue on Northeast Greenland draining a large part of the Greenland Ice Sheet. A CTD profile from a rift on the ice tongue close to the northern front shows that Atlantic Water (AW) is present in the cavity below, with maximum temperature of approximately 1 °C at 610 m depth. The AW present in the cavity thus has the potential to drive submarine melting along the ice base. Here, we simulate melt rates from the 79NG with a 1D numerical Ice Shelf Water (ISW) plume model. A meltwater plume is initiated at the grounding line depth (600 m) and rises along the ice base as a result of buoyancy contrast to the underlying AW. Ice melts as the plume entrains the warm AW. Maximum simulated melt rates are 50–76 m yr−1 within 10 km of the grounding line. Within a zone of rapid decay between 10 km and 20 km melt rates drop to roughly 6 m yr−1. Further downstream, melt rates are between 15 m yr−1 and 6 m yr−1. The melt-rate sensitivity to variations in AW temperatures is assessed by forcing the model with AW temperatures between 0.1–1.4 °C, as identified from the ECCOv4 ocean state estimate. The melt rates increase linearly with rising AW temperature, ranging from 10 m yr−1 to 21 m yr−1 along the centerline. The corresponding freshwater flux ranges between 11 km3 yr−1 (0.4 mSv) and 30 km3 yr−1 (1.0 mSv), which is 5 % and 12 % of the total freshwater flux from the Greenland Ice Sheet since 1995, respectively. Our results improve the understanding of processes driving submarine melting of marine-terminating glaciers around Greenland, and its sensitivity to changing ocean conditions.
Reconsidering the Pauline Conception of Time
Authors: Despotis Athanasios
Published: April 2019

This article offers fresh insights regarding the interpretation of the Pauline representation of time. The research survey at the beginning of the article shows that no critical study that examines how Paul’s interpretation of the Jewish concepts of time reflects his experience of spiritual transformation through turning to faith in Christ has hitherto been conducted. Therefore, this article analyzes what kind of impact Paul’s “conversion” experience had on his time schemata once–now and already–not yet as well as on his notion of kairos and understanding of salvation history. Similarly, this study demonstrates the critical function of the representation of time for the interpretation of the present into the community as an ongoing and dynamic transformation of the self. Last, the discussion involves two perspectives that are mostly ignored in the relevant debates: first, the embodied or somatic dimensions of experiencing time and spiritual transformation in Early Christianity and, second, the coexistence of patterns both of continuity and discontinuity in the reconstructions of the worldview and biography of a convert.
What Then Is τὸ περισσὸν τοῦ Ἰουδαίου? Romans 3:1 and the “Benefit from the Jew”
Authors: Monkemeier Matthew
Published: April 2019

Romans 3:1 is commonly understood to be asking about an advantage that Jews alone possess. This essay challenges that understanding and argues that a “benefit from the Jew” is a more likely interpretation of the phrase τὸ περισσὸν τοῦ Ἰουδαίου. The first section argues on the basis of contemporary linguistic usage that this would have been the more natural interpretation of this phrase. The second section shows how this interpretation of Rom 3:1 fits into the surrounding discourse, suggesting that 3:1–2 clarifies the previous discussion of Jewish vocation in 2:17–29, that it anticipates the point that will be most fully expressed in the climactic section of 11:11–32, and that it introduces a very important “benefit from the Jew” in 3:1–4. Thus, the salvation that is now for Jew and Gentile alike is a salvation that “much in every way” comes from the Jews.

On the (Ir)Relevance of Psychological Research: Students versus Scientists and Implications for Teaching
Authors: Güss C. Dominik , Bishop Travis
Published: April 2019

Research articles are widely used in the training of undergraduate students. Editors and reviewers of the top scientific psychology journals influence the development in the field by publishing certain articles and rejecting others, probably assuming that the published articles are empirically sound and theoretically highly relevant. The current study investigated if published articles are indeed regarded as relevant by a sample of 393 psychology undergraduate students from a university in the Southeast of the United States. The students’ age ranged between 18 and 57 (M = 23, SD = 6.05) and 84% were female. Students received brief statements about potential research studies and rated them regarding relevance, not knowing that the summaries were from actual research studies published in peer-reviewed journals. Results showed that (1) overall, research articles were regarded as generally irrelevant, (2) applied articles were regarded as more relevant than basic research articles, (3) ratings did not differ based on gender or age, and (4) the more advanced students were in the Psychology program, the higher their relevance ratings were for applied research as compared to basic research. Results are comforting or disturbing; comforting, because students might not have the professional expertise to make such relevance judgments; disturbing, because results might indicate how specialized and insulated journals have become by not addressing topics relevant to a wider population. Results also have implications for teaching research methods and experimental psychology courses.
Determinants of Crossbreeding Practices by Cattle Farmers in South Benin, West Africa: Implications for the Sustainable Use of the Indigenous Lagune Cattle Population

While it is widely acknowledged that the small-sized West African Shorthorn taurine Lagune cattle is being increasingly crossbred with and replaced by large-sized zebus, little is known about the factors that influence farmers’ crossbreeding decisions and selection practices. But this information is necessary for the development of strategies towards a rationale use and conservation of this unique African genetic resource. To fill this knowledge gap, we conducted, between September and November 2016, a questionnaire survey in the belt of this breed in South Benin. One hundred seventy-three cattle farms were surveyed. The binomial logistic regression approach was used to predict the likelihood of a Lagune cattle farmer to be willing to introduce zebus in his herd. The herds were composed of either Lagune only (82.1%), zebu only (4.0%), crossbred Lagune x zebu (1.2%), Lagune and zebu (9.2%) or Lagune and crossbred Lagune x zebu (3.5%). The low productivity of the Lagune cattle and the market demand for large-sized animals were the main farmers’ motivations for crossbreeding. Farmers raising large herds of Lagune cattle under control mating system were more likely to adopt crossbreeding. The risk of dilution of the Lagune breed could be reduced by increasing awareness among farmers, improving their technical skills in herd management and empowering them to develop legal institutions, by-laws and collective actions for sustainable breed management. Farmers who have already adopted crossbreeding should be provided with appropriate services and technical assistance, whereas breed conservation initiatives should mainly focus on small purebred herds kept under control mating.
Assessment of the going concern value of a business entity by means of selected discriminative models.
Authors: Wójcik-Jurkiewicz Magdalena , Karczewska Monika
Published: April 2019

The issue of evaluation of a business as an ongoing concern is frequently explored in accounting science and practice. Despite this fact, however, the authors managed to identify an interesting research gap i.e. the possibility to apply discriminative analysis to detect threats for the ongoing concern. The research hypothesis assumed and defended by the authors is that the ongoing concern principle on long term basis can only be verified by means of discriminative analysis models. For the purposes of the paper the authors applied the following research methods: the analysis method, the deduction method, the analysis of literature on the subject matter as well as national and international regulations. As the result of the conducted research, the authors identified factors for evaluation of ongoing concern and presented sample applications of discriminative analysis for assessing the chances of businesses to operate in the future. The paper is of cognitive and practical nature especially with respect to the ongoing concern and to the usefulness of collected data for development of businesses. Additionally, the authors point to vital threats that may impact the decision taking processes regarding continuation of business activity.
Phenomenology’s Constitutive Paradox
Authors: Kleist E. Eugene ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2019

I provide a phenomenological response to Quentin Meillassoux’s “realist” criticism of phenomenology and I explore the resources and limits of phenomenology in its own attempt to grapple with the paradox Meillassoux believes sinks it: subjectivity has priority over the physical reality it constitutes despite the anteriority and posteriority of that physical reality to subjectivity. I first offer a corrective to Meillassoux’s interpretation of Husserl. Then, I turn to Merleau-Ponty’s lectures on the philosophy of nature, where he addresses the paradox by interpreting Husserl in the light of Schelling. I argue throughout that the correct understanding of Husserl’s concept of constitution, and particularly, passive constitution, defangs this realist criticism of phenomenology and suggests phenomenology to be capable of a Naturphilosophie intimating pre-reflective being. The prime instance of this pre-reflective being is subjectivity’s entanglement with a reality that encompasses it.

Published: April 2019

O presente estudo teve como objetivo a análise florística da regeneração natural em área de corte raso de Pinus taeda L., após reflorestamento de aproximadamente quinze anos, num prazo de cerca de dois anos após corte. A área de estudo localiza-se na cidade de Campo Largo – PR, cuja tipologia florestal pertencente a Floresta Ombrófila Mista, num total de 5,5 hectares. A área amostral compreendeu dez parcelas de 10x10m (100 m²) cada, no interior das quais foram alocadas cinco subparcelas totalizando 5 m², dos quais foram coletados todos os indivíduos de característica arbórea. Foram amostrados 406 indivíduos, pertencentes a 64 espécies botânicas. A família Asteraceae foi a que apresentou maior número de exemplares, seguida de Solanaceae e Myrsinaceae. Os índices de diversidade ecológica de Shannon, e índice de equabilidade de Pielou apresentaram valores de 3,42 e 0,82 respectivamente. O número de indivíduos de Pinus em regeneração na área estudada foi de 23 exemplares, apresentando um alto valor quando comparado às demais espécies. No entanto, pode-se concluir que o número de indivíduos, bem como de espécies, não apresentou comprometimento devido ao reflorestamento com a espécie exótica.
Bioética y políticas públicas de tamización neonatal en los Estados Unidos, el Reino Unido y Colombia
Authors: Cifuentes Ricardo
Published: April 2019

Introducción. La reflexión sobre cómo deber ser la tamización neonatal requiere revelar la relevancia de los factores bioéticos involucrados.Objetivo. Comprender la relación de las consideraciones bioéticas con la forma en que se efectúa la tamización neonatal e indicar la relevancia de esta actividad en las normas colombianas.Materiales y métodos. Se hizo un estudio comparado de las políticas públicas en Estados Unidos y el Reino Unido, las cuales representan casos extremos de la tamización neonatal. Con base en las similitudes y las diferencias, se interpretó la influencia de los principios bioéticos. Con esta información, se indicaron en la normatividad colombiana sobre tamización neonatal las consideraciones bioéticas pertinentes.Resultados. En el Reino Unido prevalece la autonomía de los padres, lo que ocasiona riesgos al no cumplirse con las acciones obligatorias de beneficencia. En los Estados Unidos prevalece la beneficencia, con un amplio y obligatorio cubrimiento de anomalías sujetas a tamización, lo cual incrementa la probabilidad de falsos positivos y ocasiona un alto costo de oportunidad. Hay similitudes entre los procedimientos de los dos países que también están parcialmente contemplados en Colombia, como la pretensión de equidad en el acceso. Otras, como el asesoramiento profesional especializado o la posibilidad de rechazar la tamización, no se tienen en cuenta en la normatividad colombiana sobre tamización neonatal. Además, hay diferentes enfoques de justicia frente a la inclusión de las anomalías en la tamización y falta de armonía entre las normas, lo que impide una detección eficaz.Conclusión. Las consideraciones bioéticas no solo explican las diferencias entre países, sino que algunas veces prevalecen en la concepción de las políticas públicas de tamización neonatal. En Colombia, se propone su inclusión en las normas de mayor jerarquía para hacerlas más efectivas.

The mango fruit fly (Ceratitis cosyra Walker) is the major pest of economic importance and which restricts mango exports from infested production areas in the SADC region. The effect of three pruning techniques, box/rectangle, spherical/round and the central leader, on assessing spatial distribution of fruit fly populations in high density mango production were investigated at Chiredzi Research station (21°01’S, 31°33’E) from 2010 to 2013. Results showed a significant rise in the number of adult fly catches among pruning techniques as from July to December (p< 0.05). Traps baited with Malathion 25% WP with molasses as an attractant were used to trap the flies. Results from all treatments indicated a significant rise in mean adult fruit fly catches from the months of July to December. It can be concluded that spatial distribution of the mango fruit fly is influenced by the fruiting and ripening patterns of mango.
