Barry Lopez's Relational Arctic // El Ártico relacional de Barry Lopez
Authors: Kjeldaas Sigfrid
Published: April 2020

Arctic Dreams: Imagination and Desire in a Northern Landscape (1986) can be read as American nature writer Barry Lopez’s attempt to evoke a more profound and ecologically sound understanding of the North-American Arctic. This article investigates how Arctic Dreams uses insights from Jacob von Uexküll’s Umwelt theory, in combination with what Tim Ingold describes as a particular form of animism associated with circumpolar indigenous hunter cultures, to portray the Arctic natural environment as a living and lively space. Doreen Massey has described such spaces as recognizing plurality and allowing encounters. By highlighting networks of relationship and trajectories both human (historical) and animal (evolutionary), Arctic Dreams recognizes human and animal cultures that not only exist upon and can lay claim to this land, but that in a fundamental way is the land. In this way the text dismisses previous conceptions of the North-American Arctic as an empty space awaiting colonization and modernization, while on a deeper level it also questions the modern nature/culture dichotomy that allows nature to be perceived as the mere substratum of culture. Resumen El libro Arctic Dreams: Imagination and Desire in a Northern Landscape (1986) puede considerarse un intento por parte del escritor de la naturaleza americano Barry Lopez de evocar un conocimiento más profundo y ecológicamente sensato del Ártico norteamericano. Este artículo analiza cómo Arctic Dreams utiliza la teoría Umwelt  de Jacob von Uexküll, combinada con lo que Tim Ingold describe como una forma particular de animismo asociada con las culturas de los indígenas cazadores circumpolares, para retratar el entorno natural ártico como un lugar vivo y vivaz. Doreen Massey ha descrito dichos lugares como capaces de reconocer la pluralidad y permitir encuentros. Al destacar las redes de relaciones y de trayectorias tanto humanas (históricas) como de animales (evolucionarias), Arctic Dreams reconoce culturas humanas y animales que no sólo existen sobre y puede reclamar esta tierra, sino que también estas culturas son de una manera fundamental la tierra. De esta manera el texto desestima las concepciones previas del Ártico norteamericano como un espacio vacío pendiente de colonización y modernización; mientras que en un nivel más profundo también cuestiona la dicotomía moderna naturaleza/cultura que permite que la naturaleza se perciba como un mero sustrato de la cultura.

Introduction
Writing Beyond Nature: Interview with Julian Hoffman // Escritura más allá de la naturaleza: Entrevista a Julian Hoffman
Authors: Lilley Deborah Ann
Published: April 2020

This interview discusses new nature writing in Europe with Greece-based writer Julian Hoffman. The dialogue explores the notion of new nature writing in Europe through Hoffman’s practice, from the legacies and influences of the tradition and the contemporary development of the form to the ecological, political and social considerations of the places and people that inform and inspire his work. Focusing in particular upon Hoffman’s 2013 publication The Small Heart of Things: Being at Home in a Beckoning World (Athens and London: University of Georgia Press), the discussion explores the ways in which the work approaches and accounts for the complex environmental and political geography of the region of the Prespa Lakes, described as a “transboundary park” bordering Greece, Albania and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. Exploring the interconnected attention that Hoffman directs towards the nature, history and politics of the area, the discussion explores the possibilities of social and cultural engagement in nature writing. Further, it examines the ways that Hoffman’s approach is informed by the particular complexities of the cultural and ecological landscapes of Prespa, addressing conceptions of nature and of place in borderlands and at the margins between regions. Additionally, the exchange explores Hoffman’s use of digital media to mix the tradition of nature writing with photography.   Abstract                   Esta entrevista analiza la nueva escritura de la naturaleza en Europa con el escritor afincado en Grecia Julian Hoffman. El diálogo explora la noción de nueva escritura de la naturaleza en Europa a través de la práctica de Hoffman, desde los legados e influencia de la tradición y el desarrollo contemporáneo de la forma hasta las consideraciones ecológicas, políticas y sociales de los lugares y la gente que forman su trabajo. Centrándose en particular en la obra de Hoffman de 2013 The Small Heart of Things: Being at Home in a Beckoning World (Athens and London: University of Georgia Press), el análisis explora las formas en que el trabajo aborda y representa la compleja geografía medioambiental y política de la región de los lagos Prespa, descrita como un “parque trans-frontera” conlindante con Grecia, Albania y Macedonia. Explorando la atención interconectada que Hoffman presta a la naturaleza, la historia y la política de la zona, se analizan las posibilidades de compromiso social y cultural en la escritura de la naturaleza. Además, examina las formas en que el enfoque de Hoffman abarca las complejidades particulares de los paisajes culturales y ecológicos de Prespa, abordando los conceptos de naturaleza y lugar en las zonas fronterizas y los bordes entre regiones. Asimismo, el intercambio explora el uso que hace Hoffman de los medio digitales para mezclar la tradición de la escritura de la naturaleza con la fotografía.
Being Homo Radix // Ser Homo Radix
Authors: Fratus Tiziano
Published: April 2020

Losing oneself in the singing silence of old-growth forests and being reborn at the age of 30 as Homo Radix, Root Man: words can still change your life, offer a profound, formerly absent meaning. Tiziano Fratus encountered his first thousand-year-old sequoias in Big Sur, and from that point perceived the call of the voices of great trees. He began to cross landscapes in search of new fathers and new mothers. He plumbed the depths of Californian parks and the Italian, French, Swiss, and Austrian Alps; he immersed himself in the Mediterranean scrub. In botanical gardens, in the parks of historical homes, in cities and in the vast countryside, he met exotic old-growth trees that tell stories of other continents. He made his way to Singapore, Sweden, Spain, and returned to a height of 3000-3900 meters to observe the worn-out wood of the oldest conifers on the planet: more than 5000 years of living matter, again in California, in the White Mountains. He began to write books and to accompany people on journeys to meet the patriarchs of the planet. He became a faithful disciple of the verb “arborescere,” to make oneself a tree, coined by Pliny the Elder 2000 years ago. Resumen             Perderse uno mismo en el silencio cantor de los bosques de árboles antiguos y renacer a la edad de 30 como Homo Radix, Hombre Raíz: las palabras aún pueden cambiar tu vida, ofrecer un profundo significado antes ausente. Tiziano Fratus encontró sus primeras secuoyas milenarias en Big Sur, y desde ese punto percibió la llamada de las voces de los grandes árboles. Empezó a cruzar paisajes en busca de nuevos padres y nuevas madres. Exploró las profundidades de los parques californianos y los Alpes italianos, franceses, suizos y austríacos; se sumergió en los arbustos mediterráneos. En los jardines botánicos, en los parques de hogares históricos, en las ciudades y en la amplia campiña, conoció exóticos árboles antiguos que cuentan historias de otros continentes. Viajó a Singapur, Suecia, España, y volvió a una altura de 3000-3900 metros para observar la exhausta madera de las coníferas más antiguas del planeta: más de 5000 años de materia orgánica, de nuevo en California, en las Montañas Blancas. Empezó a escribir libros y a acompañar a la gente en viajes para conocer a los patriarcas del planeta. Se convirtió en un fiel discípulo del verbo “arborescere”, hacerse árbol, acuñado por Plinio el Viejo hace 2000 años.

From Green to Brown Landscapes—and Back Again: Urban Agriculture, Ecology and Hae-jun Lee’s Cast Away on the Moon // De paisajes verdes a marrones—y de vuelta: Agricultura urbana, ecología y Cast Away on the Moon de Hae-jun Lee
Authors: Schliephake Christopher Martin
Published: April 2020

My essay looks at contemporary developments in urbanism that re-negotiate the place of nature in our cities. Looking at the example of bottom-up and top-down models of urban agriculture, two alternative approaches to urban systems will be presented which try to re-embed them in the natural-material cycles of life. Firstly, the changes that have occurred in our urban landscapes (and our cultural images of them) since the age of Industrialization will be discussed to uncover the socio-historical dimension of the subject. The second part will analyze the cultural urban ecology invoked in South Korean director Hae-jun Lee’s film Cast Away on the Moon (2009). As I want to show, the film imaginatively deals with these issues and invites a re-consideration of our urban lifestyles before the background of the question what place nature has in our cities and in how far working with the soil can lead to regeneration.Resumen      Mi ensayo contempla los desarrollos contemporáneos en urbanismo que renegocian el lugar de la naturaleza en nuestras ciudades. Observando el ejemplo de los modelos ascendentes y descendentes de la agricultura urbana, se presentan dos enfoques alternativos a los sistemas urbanos que tratan de incorporarlos en los ciclos de vida naturales-materiales. En primer lugar, se debaten los cambios que han ocurrido en nuestro paisajes urbanos (y nuestras imágenes culturales de estos) desde la época de la industrialización, para descubrir la dimensión socio-histórica del asunto. La segunda parte analiza la ecología urbana cultural invocada en la película del director surcoreano Hae-jun Lee Cast Away on the Moon (2009). Tal y como muestro, la película trata estos temas de forma imaginativa e invita a reconsiderar nuestros estilos de vida urbanos ante el trasfondo de la pregunta de qué lugar ocupa la naturaleza en nuestra ciudades y en cuánto puede llevar a la regeneración trabajar con el suelo.
El espíritu de Namsetoura y colonialidad de la naturaleza en Kamau Brathwaite // The Spirit of Namsetoura and Coloniality of Nature in Kamau Brathwaite
Authors: Vergara Nora
Published: April 2020

Resumen      Las concepciones y prácticas culturales de la naturaleza que se observan en la representación del entorno geográfico y social del Caribe en la obra poética de Kamau Brathwaite (Barbados, 1930-) configuran un modelo local de naturaleza que responde a la pretensión de imponer un modelo único de modernidad promovido por la globalización contemporánea. En sus poemas, el lugar se configura mediante la oralidad de herencia africana que caracteriza las lenguas caribeñas, que depende de una fuerte conciencia espacial y le permite plasmar la presencia de las huellas culturales africanas en el territorio. En este artículo, proponemos ahondar en la importancia que la perspectiva ecológica cobra en su obra a la hora de construir la diferencia, destacando la manera en la que esa perspectiva medioambiental pone de manifiesto el valor político y epistemológico de Barbados, entendido como unas prácticas y relaciones implicadas en la producción de un complejo entramado global-local que opera en el sistema mundializado de poder. Para ello, abordaremos la perspectiva ecológica en la construcción de la isla caribeña que realiza en la segunda etapa de su obra desde los presupuestos planteados por el  programa decolonial del grupo de Modernidad/Colonialidad, apoyándonos en las nociones de diferencia colonial y colonialidad de la naturaleza. Abstract      Kamau Brathwaite’s (Barbados, 1930-) depiction of the Caribbean geographical and social environment encompasses conceptions and cultural practices of nature that shape a local model of nature as a way to respond to the imposition by contemporary globalization of a single model of modernity. In his poems, place is reconfigured through the African-derived orality that characterizes Caribbean languages, which is dependent upon a spatial awareness, allowing him to capture the presence of the African cultural traces in the region. This article addresses the relevance the ecological perspective has in constructing difference in his work and the ways in which the environmental perspective highlights the political and epistemological value of Barbados, which is conceived as a set of practices and relations involved in the production of a complex global/local pattern operating in the world system of power. In order to do so, we will explore the ecological perspective in his depiction of the Caribbean island in the second stage of his work within the framework of the decolonial project promoted by the Modernity/Coloniality group of scholars, relying on the notions of colonial difference and coloniality of nature.
Desierto - Piedra // Desert - Stone
Authors: Galindo Regina José
Published: April 2020

ResumenDesierto       La obra Desierto, fue especialmente creada para el contexto chileno: habla de las formas de opresión, abuso, racismo y colonialismo que se ocultan tras la exitosa industria de la explotación del pino, que ha invadido el territorio mapuche, generando además graves daños al ecosistema. El problema de la tierra y de los pueblos indígenas que han sido violentados y saqueados por las familias pudientes y el Estado, no es un problema ajeno a Guatemala. Durante la guerra en mi país, la estrategia de la tierra arrasada fue una constante. Miles de indígenas mayas fueron atrincherados en sus comunidades, los asesinaron y les expropiaron las tierras, que hoy son negocio de familias oligarcas, del Estado o de extranjeros. En Guatemala no hay pino pero hay otra forma de aniquilar la tierra. En Guatemala se da la palma africana que ha venido creciendo de manera desorbitante y ha causado estragos. Recientemente la fábrica Repsa (que elabora aceite de palma marca Olmeca) contaminó los ríos. En sus aguas miles de peces y demás han muerto en un ecocidio sin precedente.Piedra      Mi cuerpo permanece inmóvil, cubierto de carbón, como piedra. Dos voluntarios y alguien del público orina sobre el cuerpo piedra.Fotos: Julio Pantoja, Marlene Ramírez-Cancio. AbstractDesert      “Desierto” was created especially for the Chilean context: it speaks to the forms of oppression, abuse, racism, and colonialism that hide behind the success of the forestry industry, dedicated to the exploitation of pine trees, that has invaded indigenous Mapuche-Huilliche lands, causing grave damage to the ecosystem. The problem of indigenous communities being subjected to violence and their lands being pillaged by wealthy families and the State is not foreign to Guatemala. During the war in my country, the scorched earth strategy was a constant. Thousands of indigenous Mayan people were beseiged in their communities and murdered, while their lands were expropriated, becoming the source of profit for local oligarchies, the State, and foreign corporations. In Guatemala, there are no pines, but there are other forms of annihilating the land, among them the rapid proliferation of highly destructive palm-oil plantations. Recently, the Repsa factory, which makes Olmeca brand palm oil, has been polluting Guatemala’s rivers, killing thousands of fish in an unprecedented ecocide.Piedra      My body remains immobile, covered with charcoal, like a stone.

Opening up connectivity between documents, structures and bioactivity
Authors: Southan Christopher
Published: April 2020

Bioscientists reading papers or patents strive to discern the key relationships reported within a document “D“ where a bioactivity “A” with a quantitative result “R” (e.g., an IC50) is reported for chemical structure “C” that modulates (e.g., inhibits) a protein target “P”. A useful shorthand for this connectivity thus becomes DARCP. The problem at the core of this article is that the community has spent millions effectively burying these relationships in PDFs over many decades but must now spend millions more trying to get them back out. The key imperative for this is to increase the flow into structured open databases. The positive impacts will include expanded data mining opportunities for drug discovery and chemical biology. Over the last decade commercial sources have manually extracted DARCP from ≈300,000 documents encompassing ≈7 million compounds interacting with ≈10,000 targets. Over a similar time, the Guide to Pharmacology, BindingDB and ChEMBL have carried out analogues DARCP extractions. Although their expert-curated numbers are lower (i.e., ≈2 million compounds against ≈3700 human proteins), these open sources have the great advantage of being merged within PubChem. Parallel efforts have focused on the extraction of document-to-compound (D-C-only) connectivity. In the absence of molecular mechanism of action (mmoa) annotation, this is of less value but can be automatically extracted. This has been significantly accomplished for patents, (e.g., by IBM, SureChEMBL and WIPO) for over 30 million compounds in PubChem. These have recently been joined by 1.4 million D-C submissions from three major chemistry publishers. In addition, both the European and US PubMed Central portals now add chemistry look-ups from abstracts and full-text papers. However, the fully automated extraction of DARCLP has not yet been achieved. This stands in contrast to the ability of biocurators to discern these relationships in minutes. Unfortunately, no journals have yet instigated a flow of author-specified DARCP directly into open databases. Progress may come from trends such as open science, open access (OA), findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR), resource description framework (RDF) and WikiData. However, we will need to await the technical applicability in respect to DARCP capture to see if this opens up connectivity.
Preparation and in situ use of unstable N-alkyl α-diazo-γ-butyrolactams in RhII-catalyzed X–H insertion reactions
Authors: Eremeyeva Maria , Zhukovsky Daniil , Dar’in Dmitry , Krasavin Mikhail
Published: April 2020

N-Alkyl α-diazo-γ-butyrolactams, previously found to be unstable and to undergo unproductive dimerization to bishydrazones, were successfully converted immediately to various X–H insertion products with alcohols, aromatic amines and thiols via an in situ RhII-catalyzed reaction. With aliphatic amines or unreactive, sterically hindered anilines, the reactions tended to yield enamine adducts.

An analysis of a relationship between fire resistance limits scatter for steel structures coated with intumescent fire retardant coating and an appropriate interval of thicknesses of the coating was carried out. A methodology for the determination of this relationship was proposed. This methodology was tested on a practical example. A steel structure with a reduced thickness of 6 mm was considered. A typical dependence of the required thickness of the structure was taken into account. A ratio of a mean square deviation of the fire resistance limit to this limit was accepted to be equal 0.1. Using these values an appropriated interval of the thicknesses of the intumescent fire retardant coating was determined. This interval can be calculated for any given confidence level. Boundaries of this interval can be not symmetric in relation to the value of the normative thickness of the fire retardant coating. The proposed methodology can be used for the determination of the required thicknesses of the intumescent fire retardant coatings on steel structures for the given r value, reduced thickness of the structure and the confidence level.
Экспресс-оценка пространственных и временных возможностей вертолетов при выполнении задач пожаротушения и аварийно-спасательных работ
Authors: Novikov Andrey , Osipov Yury , Yershov Vladimir , Panfilova Elena
Published: April 2020

В статье рассмотрен графоаналитический метод, позволяющий оперативно осуществлять оценку пространственных и временных возможностей вертолетов при выполнении задач авиационного пожаротушения и аварийно-спасательных работ, связанных с доставкой сил и средств противодействия чрезвычайным ситуациям. Актуальность материалов статьи обусловлена следующим: выполнение большого объема расчетов по нескольким вариантам действий требует значительных затрат времени при использовании традиционных методов, изложенных в Руководствах по летной эксплуатации вертолетов. По мнению авторов, представленный в статье графоаналитический метод экспресс-оценки успешно применяется в частях и подразделениях военной авиации и позволяет проводить расчеты оперативно.

The article describes the grapho-analytical method for quick assessment of spatial and temporal capabilities of helicopters when solving tasks of aviation fire fighting as well as rescue and emergency operations. The relevance of the article is caused by the following: performing a large amount of calculations for several action options requires significant time when using traditional methods from the helicopter flight Manuals. The presented in the article grapho-analytical method of express-evaluation is successfully used by military aviation units and allows performing calculations quickly. When solving problems related to the delivery of forces and means of emergency response, helicopter crews have to fly again to places for loading additional equipment or replenishment of the onboard water supply (fire-extinguishing composition). In such situation it is extremely important for crews to be aware of the possible number of flights to the wrecking area without refuelling. For assessment of helicopter capabilities it is not always possible and operational to use traditional methods of engineering and navigation calculation. One of the easiest ways to solve such problems, which do not require a lot of time, is a graphical method using a set of integral range lines. In the article the set of lines is presented in the form of nomogram to make the task solving process easier. The nomogram is constructed based on the information from the helicopter flight Manual concerning the hourly and kilometre fuel consumption. There are given algorithms for operative task solution with use of this nomogram. The use of nomograms while decision-making for emergency and rescue tasks performance provides an operational assessment of helicopter capabilities to reach objects of impact without computationally intensive traditional engineering and navigation calculations.

Hepatitis B; Acquaintance and Prevention in Beauty Therapists, Peshawar
Authors: Rasool Shaista , Gillani Syed Imran , Afridi Saira
Published: April 2020

OBJECTIVES:

To assess the knowledge and practices of beauty therapists regarding hepatitis B virus.

METHODOLOGY:

A cross-sectional study conducted on beauty therapists of Peshawar. It was an interview-based questionnaire. Beauty therapists were investigated about hepatitis B transmission, vaccination, sterilization, use of gloves, and sterile equipment. Data was collected from most of the beauty salons of Peshawar. Data was analysed using SPSS 17.

RESULTS:

Around 90.6% therapists reported that they have knowledge about hepatitis B transmission by reuse of pointers (needles), 56.1% identified that vaccine can prevent hepatitis B, 98.7% beauty therapists that were interviewed reported exposure to blood during their work. 14.3% reported using gloves and 19.4% reported using only aprons. 20.4% of beauty therapists claimed sterilizing their instruments between clients, 51.4% reused needles whereas 88% reused orange sticks.

CONCLUSION:

Alertness about hepatitis and risks of transmission among beauty therapists is minimum, and their repetition of needles and inappropriate cleaning of tools is one of the reasons to spread hepatitis, which is widespread.

NTT: Network Topology Tool for Enhancing NS-2
Authors: AL-Behadili Hayder
Published: April 2020

Network Simulator-2(NS-2) is one of the most popular simulation systems that is widely used in the network community. C++ and the object-oriented Tool Command Language (TCL) are both used to write this simulator. C++ works as a background for this simulator, whereas TCL is responsible for scheduling discrete events and network configuration objects. The TCL language is used to write the code of the simulation scenario. NS-2 does not
present enough graphical interfaces that could help a researcher reduce the time spent on writing long TCL scripts. Therefore, network researchers spend a great deal of time focusing on how to write the TCL simulation script, which consequently makes the simulation process more difficult. This study presents a novel tool that enhances simulation by using graphical interfaces. The graphical interface is used to create the network topology and convert it into a TCL script. Thus, the process is visualized easily, efficiently, and quickly. This work describes the Network Topology Tool(NTT),which is intended to help researchers who work under the network simulation environment of NS-2. In such a scenario, researchers can create the network topology through an interactive graphical user interface and also they can retrieve and edit it which considered a very important and unique service from the other previous works. This tool will allow professional users to focus on the development of new algorithms or architectures rather than spend time writing scripts for data processing.
Unified P-Q based STATCOM Control for Wind Driven Induction Generator
Authors: Hafez Ahmed , Al-Bouthig R. , AL-Sadey J.
Published: April 2020

This paper principally advises a simple and reliable control for Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) in a stand-alone wind driven self-excited induction generator power system. The control was proposed based on instantaneous P-Q theory. The advised control enjoys the merits of robustness, reliability and simplicity. The paper also proposes a dimensioning procedure for the STATCOM that involves advising an annotative
analytical expression for sizing the DC-link capacitor. This procedure has the advantages of applicability for different reactive power compensators that depend on a separate DC-link in its operation. Comprehensive simulation results in Matlab environment were illustrated for corroborating the performance of the advised control under rigorous operating scenarios. The results show the feasibility, reliability and practicability of the proposed controller.
Multilevel Permutation with Different Block Size/ Stream Cipher Image Encryption
Authors: Jasim Abbas , Hakim Hiba
Published: April 2020

In this work, a new image encryption method using a combined multilevel permutation with stream cipher is proposed. In the permutation algorithm, image is divided into blocks in each level and its blocks are rearranged by using pseudorandom permutation method. A new non linear stream cipher algorithm is also proposed that is based on combining several keys generated by Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR). The results shown that the proposed algorithm has a high security feature and it is efficient for image encryption. Practical tests proved that the proposed encryption algorithm is robust, provides high level of security and gives perfect reconstruction of the decrypted image.
Matlab/Simulink Modeling of Parallel Resonant DC Link Soft-Switching Four-leg SVPWM Inverter
Authors: Omar Riyadh , Thejel Rabee
Published: April 2020

This paper suggests the use of the traditional parallel resonant dc link (PRDCL) circuit to give soft switching to the Four-leg Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) inverter. The proposed circuit provides a short period of zero voltage across the inverter during the zero-vectors occurrence. The transition between the zero and active vectors accomplished with zero- voltage condition (ZVC), this reduces the switching losses. Moreover, the inverter output voltage Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) not affected by circuit operation, since the zero voltage periods occur simultaneously with zero-vector periods. To confirm the results, balanced and unbalanced loads are used. Matlab/Simulink model implemented for simulation.

Beslenme fetal
genomun ekspresyonunu değiştiren ve yaşam boyu sonuçları olabilecek ana
intrauterin çevresel faktördür. Maternal dönemde, çok düşük veya yüksek enerji
alımı, daha yüksek protein ve yağ alımı yenidoğanlarda obezite riskini
arttırabilir. Bu durum cinsiyete göre değişmekle birlikte kızlar erkeklere göre
daha savunmasızdır. Genel olarak gebelik sırasında yeterli ve dengeli protein
ve enerji alımı yetişkin obezitesi için koruyucu bir faktör olabilir.

Gebeliğin erken
dönemlerinden itibaren yeterli demir, krom, folik asit, vitamin B12 takviyeleri
yenidoğanlarda obeziteyi önleyebilirken, aşırı folik asit, vitamin B12
gibi metil vitaminleri ile aşırı multivitamin alımı da obezite riskini
arttırabilir. Annedeki mevcut obezite veya gebelik sırasındaki özellikle de ilk
trimesterdeki aşırı vücut ağırlığı kazanımı da birçok komplikasyonun yanında yenidoğanlarda
obez olma riskini de arttırır.

Doğum ağırlığı ile BKİ, bel çevresi ve
vücut yağ yüzdesi arasında U-şeklinde bir ilişki vardır. Yapılan çalışmalarda
hem yüksek doğum ağırlığının hem de düşük doğum ağırlığının sonraki yaşamda
obezite riski ile ilişkili olduğu gösterilmiştir. Optimal maternal beslenme
doğum ağırlığını ve annenin gebelik sırasındaki vücut ağırlığı kazanımını
etkileyerek obezite riskini azaltabilir. Optimal beslenmeyi teşvik etmek sadece
optimal fetal gelişimi sağlamakla kalmaz, aynı zamanda ilerleyen dönemde
obezite gelişme riskini de azaltır.

Bu derleme makalenin amacı, gebelikte
maternal beslenme ve maternal vücut ağırlığı kazanımı, annenin vücut ağırlığı
ve bebek doğum ağırlığı ile çocukluk, erişkinlik gibi ilerleyen dönemde obezite
gelişimi ile olan ilişkilerini yapılan çalışmalar eşliğinde özetlemektir.
Iron Line Tomography of General Relativistic Hydrodynamic Accretion around Kerr Black Holes
Authors: Porter Kaitlyn , Fukumura Keigo
Published: April 2020

We consider a temporal response of relativistically broadened line spectrum of iron from black hole accretion irradiated by an X-ray echo under strong gravity. The physical condition of accreting gas is numerically calculated in the context of general relativistic hydrodynamics under steady-state axisymmetry in Kerr geometry. With the onset of a point-like X-ray flare of a short finite duration just above the accretion surface, the gas is assumed to be ionized to produce a neutral iron fluorescent line. Using a fully relativistic ray-tracing approach, the response of line photons due to the X-ray illumination is traced as a function of time and energy for different source configurations around Schwarzschild  and Kerr black holes. Our calculations show that the X-ray echo on the accretion surface clearly imprints a characteristic time-variability in the line spectral features depending on those parameters. Simulated line profiles, aimed for the future microcalorimeter missions of large collecting area such as Athena/X-IFU for typical radio-quiet Seyfert galaxies, are presented to demonstrate that state-of-the-art new observations could differentiate various source parameters by such an X-ray tomographic line reverberation.
X-Ray Scaling Relations for a Representative Sample of Planck-selected Clusters Observed with XMM-Newton

We report the scaling relations derived by fitting the X-ray parameters determined from analyzing the XMM-Newton observations of 120 galaxy clusters in the Planck Early Sunyaev–Zel’dovich (SZ) sample spanning the redshift range of 0.059 < z < 0.546. We find that the slopes of all the investigated scaling relations significantly deviate from the self-similar predictions, if self-similar redshift evolution is assumed. When the redshift evolution is left free to vary, the derived slopes are more in agreement with the self-similar predictions. Relaxed clusters have on average ∼30% higher X-ray luminosity than disturbed clusters at a given mass, a difference that, depending on the relative fraction of relaxed and disturbed clusters in the samples (e.g., SZ vs. X-ray selected), has a strong impact on the normalization obtained in different studies. Using the core-excised cluster luminosities reduces the scatter and brings into better agreement the L–M
tot and L–T relations determined for different samples. M
tot–T, M
tot–Y
X, and M
tot–M
gas relations show little dependence on the dynamical state of the clusters, but the normalizations of these relations may depend on the mass range investigated. Although most of the clusters investigated in this work reside at relatively low redshift, the fits prefer values of γ, the parameter accounting for the redshift evolution, different from the self-similar predictions. This suggests an evolution (<2σ level, with the exception of the M
tot–T relation) of the scaling relations. For the first time, we find significant evolution (>3σ) of the M
tot–T relation, pointing to an increase of the kinetic-to-thermal energy ratio with redshift. This is consistent with a scenario in which higher-redshift clusters are on average more disturbed than their lower-redshift counterparts.
Spatial Distribution of Electromagnetic Waves near the Proton Cyclotron Frequency in ICME Sheath Regions Associated with Quasi-perpendicular Shocks: Wind Observations
Authors: Li Q. H. , Yang L. , Xiang L. , Wu D. J.
Published: April 2020

Electromagnetic waves (EMWs) near the proton cyclotron frequency f
cp are transverse left-handed (LH) or right-handed (RH) polarized waves, and are ubiquitous in the solar wind. However, the characteristics of these waves in the sheath regions of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) are poorly understood. Through a comprehensive survey of Wind magnetic field and plasma data using dynamic spectra and repeated filtering analyses, 700 EMW events (7.1% of the analysis time) are identified in the 62 ICME sheath regions associated with quasi-perpendicular shocks involved with a low shock Mach number M
f and low upstream β
1. In the ICME sheath regions, outward (inward)-propagating LH (RH) EMWs have relatively higher counts and longer duration than inward (outward)-propagating LH (RH) EMWs in the plasma frame, consistent with previous STEREO observations. The spatial distributions of the magnetic field, plasma, and frequency parameters of EMWs are also presented in both spacecraft and plasma frames, especially the proton (alpha) temperature anisotropy

A. After removing the Doppler shift, 81.1% (59%) of all outward (inward)-propagating LH EMWs have a frequency below (above) 0.5f
cp, while 68.3% (64%) of all outward (inward)-propagating RH EMWs have a frequency smaller (greater) than 0.5f
cp. Further investigations of local plasma parameters reveal that different excitation mechanisms for EMWs are in different subregions of the ICME sheath regions. These results are helpful in understanding the important role of EMWs in the solar wind–ICME coupling process with different sheath regions.

Observations of ammonia in interstellar environments have revealed high levels of deuteration, and all its D-containing variants, including ND3, have been detected in cold prestellar cores and around young protostars. The observation of these deuterated isotopologues is very useful for elucidating the chemical and physical processes taking place during the very early stages of star formation, as the abundance of deuterated molecules is highly enhanced in dense and cold gas. Nitrogen hydride radicals are key species lying at the very beginning of the reaction pathway leading to the formation of NH3 and organic molecules of prebiotic interest, but relatively little is known about their D-bearing isotopologues. To date, only ND has been detected in interstellar gas. To aid the identification of further deuterated nitrogen radicals, we have thoroughly reinvestigated the rotational spectrum of NHD by employing two different instruments: a frequency-modulation submillimeter spectrometer operating in the THz region and a synchrotron-based Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer operating in the 50–240 cm−1 frequency range. NHD was produced in a plasma of NH3 and D2. A wide range of rotational energy levels have been probed thanks to the observation of high-N (up to 15) and high-K

a
(up to 9) transitions. A global analysis including our new data and data from the literature has provided a comprehensive set of very accurate spectroscopic parameters. A highly reliable line catalog has been generated to assist archival data searches and future astronomical observations of NHD at submillimeter and THz regimes.
A missing municipalist legacy: The GLC and the changing cultural politics of Southbank Centre
Authors: Williams Kathy
Published: April 2020

This article analyses key moments in the cultural history of Southbank Centre and focuses on two important legacies, one which is widely celebrated and the other marginalised. It discusses the 1951 Festival of Britain and the ways in which this heritage permeates recent and current
working practices at Southbank Centre, and compares this to the mostly silenced legacy of the policies of Ken Livingstone's GLC towards participatory arts and accessible public space. Drawing on a wide range of interviews, it argues that Livingstone's GLC's radical arts policies and high profile
funding galvanised participatory arts at Southbank Centre, and the launch of the Open Foyer Policy in 1983 promoted democratic access to the site. This historical example of the potential of municipalism is mostly missing from discourses of cultural workers for Southbank Centre today. The
prevailing silence on this period of municipal socialism is part of a wider silencing of alternatives to neoliberal capitalism.
