Preliminary development of the Vietnamese Marital Satisfaction Scale (MSS-VN): a pilot study using a Vietnamese intellectual sample
Authors: Trinh Linh , Phan Hanh Thi
Published: August 2019

Background

The objective of the present study was to develop a scale to measure marital satisfaction within a Vietnamese context (Vietnamese Marital Satisfaction Scale – MSS-VN). Due to the lack of in-depth studies in Vietnam on marital satisfaction, as well as a paucity of specialized Vietnamese context measurement tools in this field, the marital satisfaction dimensions of the MSS-VN were based on extant research literature and the social-cultural context of Vietnamese intellectual couples.

Participants and procedure

A group of 10 Vietnamese intellectuals (ages 28 to 43 years, five males/five females) were used to vet the MSS-VN questions during the question development phase of the study. The final version of the MSS-VN was administered to a convenience sample consisting of 144 male and 145 female Vietnamese intellectuals (age 22 to 50 years, M = 31.60, SD = 5.40). Analysis involved tests of reliability and validity (internal consistency, content validity, and convergent validity).

Results

The results in the exploratory factor analysis of the MSS-VN indicated the maintenance of 33 items, distributed in five factors: emotional support, division of responsibilities and housework, child-rearing, decision making and financial management, and cohesion. The convergent validity showed rather strong correlation between the final scale solution and the sub-scale “dyadic satisfaction” from the Dyadic Adjustment Scale of Spanier.

Conclusions

The MSS-VN was considered satisfactory for the proposed intent of developing a measure of marital satisfac-tion within a Vietnamese context, with consistency for application in other studies on Vietnamese intellectual’s marital satisfaction; however, due to the limitation of the convenience sample, further evidence on the valida-tion of the MSS-VN is required.

This work also compares the mechanisms of action of risankizumab and ustekinumab and their importance in the treatment of psoriasis and describes the role of IL-23 in the etiopathogenesis of psoriasis. The work also refers to the effectiveness of risankizumab treatment and its safety profile. The results of molecular and histological studies that show changes in psoriatic skin after risankizumab treatment are also described.
Monostotic Paget’s disease of bone – literature review
and case report
Authors: Wysiński Piotr , Krajewska-Włodarczyk Magdalena
Published: August 2019

Paget’s disease of bone (PDB) is a localized, chronic bone metabolic disorder, characterized by an osteoclastic malfunction, causing increased bone resorption and subsequent compensatory creation of new bone with a defective microstructure. Monostotic cases of PDB are less common than asymmetrical polyostotic PDB cases. The radiological diagnosis of PDB is usually straightforward, but monostotic cases can cause diagnostic difficulties.

We report a case of monostotic PDB in a 64-year-old man. He experienced pain of the left lower extremity and radiological investigations revealed irregular areas of bone destruction in the left femur. Bone biopsy findings indicated PDB. Treatment with bisphosphonates was initiated, but after about three years of treatment left hip arthroplasty was required due to a large area of bone destruction. Presentation of this case report aims to discuss diagnostic challenges of monostotic cases of PDB and present guidelines of treatment.

The artificial neural networks modeling might simulate the efficiency of wheat grain yield involving biological and environmental conditions during the development cycle.  Considering the main succession systems in wheat crop in Brazil, the study aimed to adapt an artificial neural network architecture capable of predict the wheat grain productivity throughout the growth cycle, involving nitrogen and non-linearity of maximum air temperature and rainfall. The field experiment was conducted in two successions systems (soybean/wheat and maize/wheat) in 2017 and 2018, the trial design was in a randomize blocs with eight replicate in the level 0, 30, 60, and 120 kg ha-1 N-fertilizer doses in the phenological stage of third fully expanded leaves. Every 30 day of the development cycle were obtained the biomass yield, maximum air temperature and accumulated rainfall information. The perceptron multi-layered artificial neural networks with backpropagation algorithm with network architecture 5-8-1 and 5-7-1 in soybean/wheat and maize/wheat system respectively, is able to simulate the wheat grain yield involving the nitrogen dose at top-dressing and the non-linearity of maximum air temperature and rainfall with biomass information obtained during the cycle crop.
A novel low-cost, high-precision sea temperature sensor for coral reef monitoring
Authors: Hendee James , Amornthammarong Natchanon , Gramer Lewis , Gomez Andrea
Published: August 2019

The role of elevated sea temperatures in coral bleaching has been well documented. Many of the sea temperature records utilized for purposes of widespread, multi-species bleaching predictions in recent publications have been acquired through satellite remote sensing. Satellites estimate
sea temperatures at only a narrow range of depths near the surface of the ocean and may therefore not adequately represent the true temperatures endured by the world's coral ecosystems. To better characterize sea temperature regimes that coral reef ecosystems experience, as well as better
define the individual thresholds for each species that bleaches, in situ sea temperature sensors are required. Commercial sensors are expensive in large quantities, however, reducing the capacity to conduct large- scale research programs to elucidate the range of significant scales of temperature
variability. At the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML), we designed a low-cost (roughly US$9 in parts) and high- precision sea temperature sensor that uses an Arduino microprocessor board and a high accuracy
thermistor. This new temperature sensor autonomously records temperatures onto a memory chip and provides better accuracy (+0.05 °C) than a comparable commercial sensor (+0.2 °C). Moreover, it is not difficult to build; anyone who knows how to solder can build the temperature sensor.
In March 2019, students at middle and high schools in Broward County, Florida, built close to 60 temperature sensors. During 2019, these sensors will be deployed by Reef Check, a global-scale coral reef monitoring organization, as well as by other programs to determine worldwide sea temperature
regimes through the Opuhala Project (https://www. coral. noaa. gov/opuhala). This paper chronicles results from the initial proof-of-concept deployments for these AOML-designed sensors.

Published: August 2019

Diez años después de finalizadas las reformas al sector de telecomunicaciones, el Informe Global de Tecnologías de la Información 2016, publicado por el Foro Económico Mundial, deja a Nicaragua en una posición no deseable. El problema, más allá de apuntar a la estructura de mercado imperante, señala también a la modalidad pública reguladora adoptada para intervenir al sector. En este sentido y haciendo uso de una revisión bibliográfica de la literatura existente, la autorregulación de la industria surge como una propuesta interesante dentro de las nuevas formas de gobernanza regulatoria y convenientemente tratable desde el enfoque de la teoría de juegos.
The 2014 South Napa earthquake and its relevance for New Zealand
Authors: Galloway Bruce , Ingham Jason M.
Published: August 2019

The South Napa earthquake occurred on Sunday, 24 August 2014 at 3.20 am local time at a depth of 10.7 km, having MW 6.0 and causing significant damage to unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings in the City of Napa and generating strong ground shaking in a region well known for its wine production. Parallels exist between the damage in past New Zealand earthquakes, particularly to unreinforced masonry buildings, and the disruption in the Marlborough region following the recent 2013 MW 6.5 Seddon earthquake. Furthermore, the event was the largest to have occurred in Northern California since the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake 25 years earlier, and hence was an important event for the local community of earthquake researchers and professionals regarding the use of a physical and virtual clearinghouse for data archiving of damage observations. Because numerous URM buildings in the City of Napa had been retrofitted, there was significant interest regarding the observed performance of different retrofitting methods.
Following a brief overview of the earthquake affected area and previous earthquakes to have caused damage in the Napa Valley region, details are provided regarding the characteristics of the 2014 South Napa earthquake, the response to the earthquake including placarding procedures and barricading, and more specific details of observed building and non-structural damage. Aspects of business continuity following the South Napa earthquake are also considered. One conclusion is that in general the seismic retrofitting of URM buildings in the Napa region proved to be very successful, and provides an important benchmark as New Zealand begins to more actively undertake seismic assessment and retrofitting of its earthquake prone building stock. It is also concluded that there are sufficient similarities between New Zealand and California, and a rich network of contacts that has developed following the hosting of many US visitors to New Zealand in conjunction with the 2010/2011 Canterbury earthquakes, that it is sensible for the New Zealand earthquake engineering community to maintain a close focus on ongoing earthquake preparedness and mitigation methods used and being developed in USA, and particularly in California.
Design of base-isolated buildings
Authors: Pietra Dario , Pampanin Stefano , Mayes Ron L. , Wetzel Nicholas G. , Feng Demin
Published: August 2019

Base isolation is arguably the most reliable method for providing enhanced protection of buildings against earthquake-induced actions, by virtue of a physical separation between the structure and the ground through elements/devices with controlled force capacity, significant lateral deformation capacity and (often) enhanced energy dissipation. Such a design solution has shown its effectiveness in protecting both structural and non-structural components, hence preserving their functionality even in the aftermath of a major seismic event.

Despite lead rubber bearings being invented in New Zealand almost forty years ago, the Christchurch Women’s hospital was the only isolated building in Christchurch when the Canterbury earthquake sequence struck in 2010/11. Furthermore, a reference code for designing base-isolated buildings in New Zealand is still missing. The absence of a design standard or at least of a consensus on design guidelines is a potential source for a lack of uniformity in terms of performance criteria and compliance design approaches. It may also limit more widespread use of the technology in New Zealand.

The present paper provides an overview of the major international codes (American, Japanese and European) for the design of base-isolated buildings. The design performance requirements, the analysis procedures, the design review process and approval/quality control of devices outlined in each code are discussed and their respective pros and cons are compared through a design application on a benchmark building in New Zealand. The results gathered from this comparison are intended to set the basis for the development of guidelines specific for the New Zealand environment.
Shaking table tests of a base isolated structure with Double Concave Friction Pendulum bearings
Authors: Ponzo Felice C. , Cesare Antonio D. , Leccese Gianmarco , Nigro Domenico
Published: August 2019

An extensive experimental testing programme named JETBIS project (Joint Experimental Testing of Base Isolation Systems) was developed within the RELUIS II project (Task 2.3.2) and RELUIS III project (Line 6) involving partners from different Italian universities. This paper describes the seismic tests performed by the research unit of University of Basilicata (UNIBAS) on an isolation system based on Double Concave Friction Pendulum (DCFP) bearings. The DCFP bearing contains two separate concave sliding surfaces and exhibits different hysteretic properties at different stages of displacement response. The main objective of this work is to evaluate the horizontal response of the DCFP isolators by means of controlled-displacement tests and shaking table tests. The experimental model was a 1/3 scaled steel framed structure with one storey and one bay in both directions. Four DCFP bearings with equal properties of the sliding surfaces were considered. In this work, three different sliding surface conditions (with and without lubrication) have been studied. The isolated base model was subjected to 8 natural earthquakes of increasing seismic intensities and considering two mass configurations (with both symmetrical and eccentric masses). The reliability of the design procedure considered for the isolation system was verified also when relevant residual displacements occurred due to previous earthquakes. In this paper, the comparisons between the experimental outcomes and the numerical results of nonlinear time-history analyses using SAP2000 are shown.
Benefits of site-specific hazard analyses for seismic design in New Zealand
Authors: Bradley Brendon A.
Published: August 2019

This paper summarizes the role site-specific seismic hazard analyses can play in seismic design and assessment in New Zealand. The additional insights and potential improvements in the seismic design and assessment process through a better understanding of the ground motion hazard are examined through a comparative examination with prescriptive design guidelines. Benefits include the utilization of state-of-the-art knowledge, improved representation of site response, reduced conservatism, and the determination of dominant seismic source properties, among others. The paper concludes with a discussion of these relative benefits so that the efficacy of site-specific hazard analysis for a particular project can be better judged by the engineer.

Published: August 2019

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of quality service on the image and the reputation obtained in restaurants. We also analyze the effect that the business image has on the reputation of restaurants. Finally, we want to discover the mediation effect of the image between the quality service and the reputation of the restaurants. This research is based on a sample of 202 consumers of five restaurants (franchise type) in the city of Guaymas Sonora, Mexico. The data collection was conducted during the months of March to June 2016. The estimates of the relationships (hypothesis) have been tested through the System of Structural Equations based on the variance with the Partial Least Squares technique. The results show that quality in the service has a strong influence on the image of restaurants. In addition, we found that the image of the business significantly influences the reputation of restaurants. However, the service quality does not have significant effects on business reputation. We have also found that the business image is a variable that contributes to a greater significant effect between business reputation and service quality. Research contributes to the development of the literature on consumer behavior and service marketing.

Authors: Stupko-Lubczyńska Anastasiia
Published: August 2019

On the lateral walls of the Bark Hall in the Main Sanctuary of Amun in the Temple of Hatshepsut, four stands for burning offerings are represented in front of Amun’s bark. Conservation work on the walls of this room uncovered the painted layer. One of the stands preserves traces of an inscription which was erased in ancient times in two phases. The first phase of erasure may be dated to the reign of Tuthmosis III, while the second one was executed during the Amarna period. The paper presents the legible parts of the text, which was a standard dedication formula, along with a reconstruction of the damaged areas

RIGHT TO INFORMATION AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Authors: Fleszer Dorota
Published: August 2019

The necessity to include citizens in the decision making process of society is pointed out in the discussion on the quality of management in the public sphere. An argument is raised here that making certain decisions with the use of only administrative mechanisms in consequences is not always adequate to the real needs and expectations of the society. Only by establishing social dialogue, the competent authority has the ability to recognise social preferences and respond appropriately by taking proper actions. The simplest form of participation, necessary and at the same time engaging citizens in the slightest is to inform. People, in order to engage in social activities must therefore have an access to information which will be understandable for them, in some way proven and properly interpreted, which will make it possible for example to foresee the consequences of their actions, give grounds
or motives to engage in the details of the case, or express an opinion on the subject.

THE PROHIBITION OF PLACING PETS INTO PUBLIC FACILITIES AS A SUBJECT OF REGULATION OF CLEANLINESS AND ORDER REGULATIONS IN THE COMMUNE
Authors: Krawiec Grzegorz
Published: August 2019

The legal regulations in Poland do not give the basis to enter the prohibition of placing pets into public facilities. Placing such prohibition in the act of local rank is a significant violation of the law, which makes it necessary to eliminate the norm from legal transactions. The self-government has a constitutionally guaranteed independence. However, this does not entitle the local government to introduce such a prohibition. This violates the principle of legality expressed in art. 7 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. Placing the prohibition in question is a violation of clearly statutory provisions. However, also other constitutional provisions remain violated if such a prohibition is introduced: these are, among others provisions regulating the principle of proportionality, resulting from art. 31 para. 3 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, which is expressed by the prohibition of excessive interference in the sphere of individual rights and freedoms. It requires legal means resulting from the application of legal provisions to be adequate to achieve the intended purpose and not go beyond what is necessary to achieve it
Influence of short-term fluidised bed nitriding upon mechanical proprieties and pitting corrosion resistance of 41CrAlMo structural steel
Authors: Żółciak Tadeusz , Łataś Zbigniew
Published: August 2019

The study investigated the influence of short-term nitriding conditions upon the strength properties and pitting corrosion resistance of 41CrAlMo structural steel. The steel was fluidised bed nitrided in ammonia at temperatures of 480 and 570oC. The increase in layer thickness and/or nitrogen concentration was accompanied by the increase in compressive rest stresses up to a maximum of approx. -660MPa. The decrease of tensile strength Rm and the offset yield point R0,2 in all nitriding variants did not exceed10% in relation to the quenched and tempered sample. The decrease of the relative elongation A10 reached a maximum of 37%. In the bend test, with the increase of layer thickness and nitrogen concentration the offset yield point R0,2 increased by a maximum of approx 12%. Impact strength decreased with increasing layer thickness and nitrogen concentration up to 14%. After optimum nitriding, pitting corrosion resistance Rp9 = 500 h was achieved.
Statistical analysis for genotype stability and adaptability in maize yield based on environment and genotype interaction models
Authors: Machado Nadja Gomes , Lotufo-Neto Névio , Hongyu Kuang
Published: August 2019

Current analysis investigates genotype x environment interaction and stability performance of grain yield with nine maize genotypes in seven environments. ANOVA revealed highly significant (p-value<0.001) data for genotypes, environments and their interactions. Only PC1 (45.4%) and PC2 (35%) were significant (p ≤ 0.05). Genotype G7 had a specific adaptation to environment E7, whereas genotypes G2 and G3 were adapted to environment E1, and genotypes G8 and G9 to environment E5. Dataset was divided into group A, composed of E5 and E7, and group B composed of E1, E2, E3 and E6. Genotypes G1, G2, G3 and G6, belonging to group B, were the most productive. Further, no environment fell into the G4, G5, G7, G8 and G9 sectors, denoting these genotypes as the poorest ones across environments. GGE biplot indicated that genotype G4 was highly unstable, whereas G3 very stable. In addition, G2 was more desirable due to its small contribution to both G and GE. On the other hand, G4 and G9 were more undesirable due to large contribution to either G or GE. Finally, genotypes G2 and G9 were very different. Their dissimilarity may be due to difference in mean yield and/or in GEI.

Published: August 2019

The solid waste management in Brazil is supported by the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS) and, in the case of municipal waste, the responsibility lies for municipalities. The aim of this research was to describe the perception of the managers of the municipalities of the South Region of Rio Grande do Sul regarding solid waste management. Through the application of a questionnaire addressed to the managers of the cities, difficulties were identified: the lack of technical and financial resources for the implementation of the instruments proposed by the PNRS, such as the Municipal Integrated Solid Waste Management Plans (PMGIRS) and selective collection of municipal solid waste. In addition, there were found problems as the lack of collaboration of the population for the functioning of collection systems and difficulties in the insertion of cooperatives and associations of collectors of recyclable materials within the management cycle. Despite the problems faced, managers recognize the importance of integrated solid waste management to improve management and planning of actions, to promote environmental quality and public health and as a method to reduce costs and raise funds.

Institutionelle logikker i biblioteksvæsenet og dets omverden. NPM vs. Bibliotekarisk praksis
Authors: Kann-Christensen Nanna
Published: August 2019

Artiklen analyserer hvordan eksempler på NPM-inspirerede forandringer i folkebibliotekerne mødes af ledere og bibliotekarer. Formålet med artiklen er dels at introducere begrebet institutionelle logikker i biblioteksforskningen, og dels at diskutere hvordan den bibliotekariske logik formes i mødet med NPM-inspirerede organisationsudviklingsprojekter. Når et felt mødes af forandringer, som udspringer af en anden tankegang end den, som er fremherskende i feltet, bliver feltets egne logikker og forestillinger om, hvad der er vigtigt, undertiden synlige. I artiklen diskuteres det, hvordan den bibliotekariske logik betyder, at der ikke automatisk øves modstand mod forandringer, men at bibliotekarerne, både på feltniveau og på organisationsniveau, står fast, når de oplever at blive truet på deres faglighed og deres muligheder for indflydelse.
Humaniora, elektronisk publicering og forskningsbibliotekerne
Authors: Lind Gunner
Published: August 2019

En række strukturelle forhold har gjort, at humaniora i langt mindre grad end naturvidenskab og medicin har lagt om til elektronisk publicering afforskningsresultaterne. Det er forhold der dels er økonomisk-organisatoriske, dels skyldes mangel på tilfredsstillende tekniske løsninger. I begge sammenhænge kan forskningsbibliotekerne indgå i nye løsningsmodeller, til gavn for både humanisterne ogbibliotekerne.
Om tjekkede teoretikere, vilde youngsters og seje praktikere. Hvordan danske biblioteksagenter præger et aktuelt billede af informationskompetence
Authors: Engerer Volkmar , Thestrup Jesper Boserup
Published: August 2019

I vores artikel tager vi udgangspunkt i en todimensionel model af informationskompetence (IK), bestående af en proces- og en vilkårskomponent, som hver for sig dækker over en række underkategorier. De to komponenter er informationssøgningens kronologiske trin samt de ydre vilkår i informationssøgningen: kontekst, anvendte medier og overordnede videnskrav. I artiklen støtter vi disse teoretiske antagelser vha. en kursorisk gennemgang af tre biblioteksagenters (teoretikeres, youngsters og praktikeres) specifikke bidrag til begrebets dimensioner og underdimensioner. I vores afsluttende perspektiveringer fremfører vi i stikord nogle fokuspunkter, som, mere eller mindre eksplicit, ligger i agenternes bidrag, og som kan bidrage til et mere moderne koncept af IK.

Kritik af evidensbevægelsen
Authors: Johannsen Carl Gustav
Published: August 2019

Denne artikel har som formål at præsentere en række af de kritikpunkter, der fra forskellig side herhjemme har været rettet mod evidensprincipperne og evidensbevægelsen i perioden fra midten af ’90erne til i dag. Herudover vil evidensteoriens relationer og berøringsflader til en række udvalgte samfundsvidenskabelige teorier blive behandlet. Artiklen vil lægge hovedvægten på den kritik mod og den debat, der har været om evidensbevægelsen inden for uddannelsessektoren. Udover at systematisere i forhold til og referere til en række forskellige kritikpunkter vil argumenter og svar fra  evidensbevægelsen også blive inddraget med henblik på at rette fejl og opklare eventuelle misforståelser. Det er en grundlæggende antagelse hos forfatteren af artiklen, at kritikken af evidensbaseret praksis i flere tilfælde bygger på misforståelser bl.a. i forhold til formålet med evidensbasering.
Evidensbaseret praksis i videnskabsteoretisk belysning
Authors: Hjørland Birger
Published: August 2019

Evidensbaseret praksis er en ca. 20 år gammel tværfaglig bevægelse, der stammer fra medicin. Den er af betydelig interesse for biblioteks- og informationsvidenskab, fordi den fokuserer på en grundig dokumentation af det beslutningsgrundlag, der er etableret i forskningen, og på en optimering af alle led i dokumentations- og søgeprocesserne. Evidensbaseret praksis er imidlertid også en kontroversiel bevægelse, især i bløde områder som psykologi, sygepleje og biblioteks- dokumentations- og informationsfaget (BDI), men også inden for medicin selv. Hovedkritikken går dels på, at praktikere fratages deresautonomi og på, at forståelsen for grundlæggende årsagsmekanismer svækkes. Denne videnskabsteoretiske kritik er ikke blot relevant for praktiseringen af fx evidensbaseret medicin, men også for BDIs forhold til dokumentationsprocesser generelt. Artiklen præsenterer og undersøger disse videnskabsteoretiske problemer. Selvom det er vigtigt at forholde sig åbent over for forskelle mellem forskellige domæner,er det især inden for medicin de principielle spørgsmål, der er relevante for hele EBP-bevægelsen, kan analyseres mest dybtgående. Dette skyldes, at de problemer, der er i evidensbaseret praksis i det relativt hårde medicinske område, gør sig endnu mere gældende i blødere områder. Derfor koncentrerer denne artikel sig mest om evidensbaseret medicin (EBM).
Evidensbevægelsens spredning til biblioteker i Danmark, Norge og Sverige
Authors: Johannsen Carl Gustav
Published: August 2019

Artiklen søger med afsæt i Røviks teori om konceptmigration at identificere og forklare mønstre for spredning og udbredelse af evidensbevægelsens begreber og praksisser i biblioteker i Danmark, Norge og Sverige. For alle tre lande gør sig store forskelle gældende i forhold til bibliotekstyper, hvor forskningsbiblioteker i almindelighed og medicinske biblioteker i særdeleshed er langt mere involverede og aktive i evidensbevægelsen end folkebibliotekerne i de tre lande. Sammenligner vi de tre lande indbyrdes er det oplagt, at Sverige er det land, hvor evidensbevægelsen i bibliotekssammenhænge slog tidligst og mest synligt igennem. I Norge har der også de senere år været en voksende interesse for evidens, hvilket bl.a. er kommet til udtryk gennem en række målrettede uddannelses- og efteruddannelsestilbud. En faktor som utvivlsomt har hæmmet evidenskonceptets udbredelse har været oversættelsesproblemer fra en naturvidenskabelig medicinsk sammenhæng til blødere, mere humanistiske og samfundsfagligt orienterede biblioteksmiljøer. En sammenligning med fx den meget hurtige immigration og spredning af læringskonceptet 23 ting fra amerikanske biblioteker til biblioteker i Danmark og mange andre lande kan illustrere den barriere som ligger i dekontekstualisering og kontekstualisering af et koncept.

Artikelns syfte är att skapa en ökad förståelse för deutmaningar som uppstår när man i klassrumsprak-tiker skapar mening åt informationskompetens i all-mänhet och i synnerhet åt trovärdighet. En kvalitativstudie har genomförts i två svenska gymnasieklassermed elever från andra året på samhällsvetenskap-ligt program. Artikeln ger en inblick i de utmaningarsom pedagoger möter i samtidens skola när manrör sig i ett förändrat medielandskap som i ökadutsträckning bjuder in användare till att skapa ochorganisera digital information. Olika vägar att görainformationskompetens och, mer specifikt, trovär-dighet till objekt för undervisningen diskuteras. Vi-dare identifieras en inflytelserik diskurs kopplad tilltrovärdighet, en diskurs som fokuserar på kontroll.I studien dras slutsatsen att pedagoger behöver åter-vända till de traditionella kriterierna för källkritikoch diskutera hur dessa kan utnyttjas i digitala mil-jöer i syfte att erhålla en ökad reflexivitet vid källkri-tiska bedömningar.
Studerendes informationspraksis omkring den akademiske opgave
Authors: Schneider Maria Viftrup , Thrige Susanne
Published: August 2019

Med udgangspunkt i Annemaree Lloyds informationspraksis-begreb analyserer artiklen studerendes informationspraksis med fokus på brugen af tekstuelle, sociale og kropslige informationskilder. Analysen baserer sig på en interviewundersøgelse af 8 studerendes oplevelse af akademisk opgaveskrivning og informationssøgning på to bacheloruddannelser.Undersøgelsen belyser dels studerendes brug af de tre forskellige informationskilder, og dels hvordan denne brug synes at være påvirket af deres opfattelse af den uddannelsesmæssige kontekst (alignment), samt deres vurdering af den ́tilstrækkelige ́ indsats (satisficing).
Den rådne banan på kort : Visuel literacy - fra billeder til viden

Mange taler om ”Udkantsdanmark”, men ingen gør tilsyneladende nogetvirkningsfuldt ved det, selv om regeringen kommer med politiske udspil, ændrer lovgivningen og opfinder nye støttemuligheder i lange baner. Det er der givetvis forskellige årsager til. En kunne være, at det slet ikke er ønsket, at der gøres noget virkningsfuldt ved Udkantsdanmark. En andenkunne være, at debatgrundlaget og den præsenterede information er for ringe. Artiklen viser eksempler på kort fra den eksisterende, ikke altid konstruktive debat om Udkantsdanmark. Som modstykke hertil præsenteres i artiklen utraditionelle kort, der er designet til netop somvisual literacy at bidrage til, at der overhovedet bliver en reel debat om Udkantsdanmark & Kernedanmark.Artiklen fremlægger ikke et politisk synspunkt. Artiklen præsenterer, hvor forbløffende effektivt politiske synspunkter kan fremlægges ved at tænke og agere i visual literacy. Artiklens budskab er at fremme den konstruktive debat generelt, hvor Den Rådne Banan og kortene blot tjener som eksempel.

Mexico is one of the most diverse countries that is losing a large amount of forest due to land use change, these data put Mexico in fourth place for global deforestation rate, therefore, Mexico occupies the first place in number of endangered species in the world with 665 endangered species. It is important to study amphibians because they are among the most threatened vertebrates on Earth and their populations are rapidly declining worldwide due primarily to the loss and degradation of their natural habitats. Pseudoeurycea robertsi is a micro-endemic and critically endangered Plethodontid salamander from the Nevado de Toluca Volcano and to date almost nothing is known about its natural history therefore, we survey fourteen sites of the Nevado de Toluca Volcano a mountain that is part of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, Mexico. We carry out the most exhaustive sampling scheme of this species throughout the Nevado de Toluca Volcano to know the number of individuals and the microhabitat features associated with the presence of P. robertsi. Likewise, we carry out a morphometric study and coloration measurements of P. robertsi individuals and we determine the potential distribution of P. robertsi and the other 3 species of pletodontids present in the NTV using ecological niche modeling and to determine the most important habitat features associated with the presence of salamander species, as well as to know the niche overlap among salamander species. This information will help raise conservation strategies for this micro-endemic and critically endangered salamander.

The mechanisms that regulate pluripotency are still largely unknown. Here, we show that Telomere Repeat Binding Factor 1 (TRF1), a component of the shelterin complex, regulates the genome-wide binding of polycomb and polycomb H3K27me3 repressive marks to pluripotency genes, thereby exerting vast epigenetic changes that contribute to the maintenance of mouse ES cells in a naïve state. We further show that TRF1 mediates these effects by regulating TERRA, the lncRNAs transcribed from telomeres. We find that TERRAs are enriched at polycomb and stem cell genes in pluripotent cells and that TRF1 abrogation results in increased TERRA levels and in higher TERRA binding to those genes, coincidental with the induction of cell-fate programs and the loss of the naïve state. These results are consistent with a model in which TRF1-dependent changes in TERRA levels modulate polycomb recruitment to pluripotency and differentiation genes. These unprecedented findings explain why TRF1 is essential for the induction and maintenance of pluripotency.
Suppression of transcytosis regulates zebrafish blood-brain barrier function
Authors: O'Brown Natasha M , Megason Sean G , Gu Chenghua
Published: August 2019

As an optically transparent model organism with an endothelial blood-brain barrier (BBB), zebrafish offer a powerful tool to study the vertebrate BBB. However, the precise developmental profile of functional zebrafish BBB acquisition and the subcellular and molecular mechanisms governing the zebrafish BBB remain poorly characterized. Here, we capture the dynamics of developmental BBB leakage using live imaging, revealing a combination of steady accumulation in the parenchyma and sporadic bursts of tracer leakage. Electron microscopy studies further reveal high levels of transcytosis in brain endothelium early in development that are suppressed later. The timing of this suppression of transcytosis coincides with the establishment of BBB function. Finally, we demonstrate a key mammalian BBB regulator Mfsd2a, which inhibits transcytosis, plays a conserved role in zebrafish, as mfsd2aa mutants display increased BBB permeability due to increased transcytosis. Our findings indicate a conserved developmental program of barrier acquisition between zebrafish and mice.
Twisted tale of the tiger: the case of inappropriate data and deficient science

Publications in peer-reviewed journals are often looked upon as tenets on which future scientific thought is built. Published information is not always flawless and errors in published research should be expediently reported, preferably by a peer-review process. We review a recent publication by Gopalaswamy et al. (10.1111/2041-210X.12351) that challenges the use of “double sampling” in large-scale animal surveys. Double sampling is often resorted to as an established economical and practical approach for large-scale surveys since it calibrates abundance indices against absolute abundance, thereby potentially addressing the statistical shortfalls of indices. Empirical data used by Gopalaswamy et al. (10.1111/2041-210X.12351) to test their theoretical model, relate to tiger sign and tiger abundance referred to as an Index-Calibration experiment (IC-Karanth). These data on tiger abundance and signs should be paired in time and space to qualify as a calibration experiment for double sampling, but original data of IC-Karanth show lags of (up to) several years. Further, data points used in the paper do not match the original sources. We show that by use of inappropriate and incorrect data collected through a faulty experimental design, poor parameterization of their theoretical model, and selectively picked estimates from literature on detection probability, the inferences of this paper are highly questionable. We highlight how the results of Gopalaswamy et al. were further distorted in popular media. If left unaddressed, the paper of Gopalaswamy et al. could have serious implications on statistical design of large-scale animal surveys by propagating unreliable inferences.
