Effects of Continuum Fudging on Non-LTE Synthesis of Stellar Spectra. I. Effects on Estimates of UV Continua and Solar Spectral Irradiance Variability
Authors: Criscuoli Serena
Published: February 2019

Syntheses performed under non-LTE conditions usually overestimate stellar spectra. An approach widely adopted in the literature to reduce the excess of UV radiation consists of artificially increasing the continuum opacity by using multiplicative fudge factors, which are empirically derived to impose that the synthetized spectrum match the observed one. Although the method was initially developed to improve non-LTE synthesis of spectral lines, it has been recently employed to model solar spectral irradiance variability. Such irradiance reconstruction techniques combine spectral synthesis of different types of structures, which are performed making use of factors derived from a reference, quiet-Sun model. Because the opacity scales in a complex way with plasma physical properties, the question arises whether, and to what extent, fudge factors derived using a reference model can be used to adjust the opacity of models representing different types of quiet and magnetic features. Here we investigate the effects of opacity fudging on estimates of solar and stellar irradiance variability in UV bands. We find that the use of fudge factors might underestimate the variability by 19% and up to 20% in the ranges 230–300 nm and 300–400 nm, respectively. These estimates are model dependent and should be considered as upper limits. Finally, our analysis suggests that the uncertainties generated by the use of fudge factors increase with the decrease of stellar metallicity and are significant for stars whose variability is facula dominated and whose effective temperature is larger than ∼4000 K.

In this paper, we investigate full-wave computed radar tomography (CRT) using a rubble-pile asteroid model in which a realistic shape (Itokawa) is coupled with a synthetic material composition and structure model. The aim is to show that sparse bistatic radar measurements can distinguish details inside a complex-structured rubble-pile asteroid. The results obtained suggest that distinct local permittivity distribution changes such as surface layers, voids, low-permittivity anomalies, high-permittivity boulders, and cracks can be detected with bistatic CRT, when the total noise level in the data is around −10 dB with respect to the signal amplitude. Moreover, the bistatic measurement setup improves the robustness of the inversion compared to the monostatic case. Reconstructing the smooth Gaussian background distribution was found to be difficult with the present approach, suggesting that complementary techniques, such as gravimetry, might be needed to improve the reliability of the inference in practice.

Uncertainties in stellar structure and evolution theory are largest for stars undergoing core convection on the main sequence. A powerful way to calibrate the free parameters used in the theory of stellar interiors is asteroseismology, which provides direct measurements of angular momentum and element transport. We report the detection and classification of new variable O and B stars using high-precision short-cadence (2 minutes) photometric observations assembled by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). In our sample of 154 O and B stars, we detect a high percentage (90%) of variability. Among these we find 23 multiperiodic pulsators, 6 eclipsing binaries, 21 rotational variables, and 25 stars with stochastic low-frequency variability. Several additional variables overlap between these categories. Our study of O and B stars not only demonstrates the high data quality achieved by TESS for optimal studies of the variability of the most massive stars in the universe, but also represents the first step toward the selection and composition of a large sample of O and B pulsators with high potential for joint asteroseismic and spectroscopic modeling of their interior structure with unprecedented precision.

A cytogenetic analysis based on the integration of a number of different chromosomal methodologies, including chromosome microdissection was carried out to characterize the chromosomally polymorphic Hypostomusregani population from the Paraguay River basin, state of Mato Grosso do Sul in Brazil. All specimens had 2n=72 (FN=116) but two distinct karyotype formulas: karyomorph A (12m+14sm+18s+28a) and karyomorph B (13m+14sm+17st+28a). Karyomorph A and B differed only for pair 19 that consisted of two subtelocentrics in karyomorph A and a large metacentric and a subtelocentric in karyomorph B. This heteromorphism was due to extensive heterochromatinization of the short arm of the large metacentric, as highlighted by C-banding. The microdissection of the large metacentric of pair 19 allowed the production of a probe, named HrV (Hypostomusregani Variant), that hybridized to the whole p arm of the large metacentric and the pericentromeric region of the short arm of its (subtelocentric) homologue (karyomorph B) and of both homologs of pair 19 in karyomorph A. Additional cytogenetic techniques (FISH with 18S and 5S rDNA probes, CMA3 and DAPI staining) allowed a finer distinction of the two karyomorphs. These results reinforced the hypothesis that the novel large metacentric of H.regani (karyomorph B) was the result of the amplification of heterochromatin segments, which contributed to karyotypic diversification in this species.

Published: February 2019

Fly ash and phosphogypsum were used as Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) by-products for the synthesis of belite-sulfoaluminate clinkers. The influence of raw mixture composition and firing temperature was investigated. Clinkers and cements were examined by X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The compressive strength of the cements was determined after 28 days. Clinker phases identified included ye’elimite, ß-phase of belite, ternesite and gehlenite, while the main hydration product of the cement pastes was ettringite. The results showed that belite-sulfoaluminate cements can be fabricated with a compressive strength of 45.9 N/mm2 by firing the raw mixture (70 wt.% marl, 10 wt.% bauxite and 20 wt.% phosphogypsum) at a temperature of 1320°C/1h.

T lymphocytes (T cells) are highly specialized members of the adaptive immune system and hold the key to the understanding the hosts’ response toward invading pathogen or pathogen-associated molecular patterns such as LPS. In this study, noninvasive Raman spectroscopy is presented as a label-free method to follow LPS-induced changes in splenic T cells during acute and postacute inflammatory phases (1, 4, 10, and 30 d) with a special focus on CD4+ and CD8+ T cells of endotoxemic C57BL/6 mice. Raman spectral analysis reveals highest chemical differences between CD4+ and CD8+ T cells originating from the control and LPS-treated mice during acute inflammation, and the differences are visible up to 10 d after the LPS insult. In the postacute phase, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from treated and untreated mice could not be differentiated anymore, suggesting that T cells largely regained their original status. In sum, the biological information obtained from Raman spectra agrees with immunological readouts demonstrating that Raman spectroscopy is a well-suited, label-free method for following splenic T cell activation in systemic inflammation from acute to postacute phases. The method can also be applied to directly study tissue sections as is demonstrated for spleen tissue one day after LPS insult.
Molecular identification of Sarcocystis spp. in cattle: partial sequencing of Cytochrome C Oxidase subunit 1 (COI)
Authors: Rubiola Selene , Chiesa Francesco , Zanet Stefania , Civera Tiziana
Published: February 2019

Sarcocystis spp. are protozoan parasites with an obligatory two-host life cycle, with herbivores as intermediate hosts and carnivores as definitive hosts. Cattle are intermediate hosts for several species of Sarcocystis: indeed, in addition to S. cruzi, S. hirsuta and S. hominis, at least four new species were recently identified in bovine muscle: S. bovifelis, S. rommeli, S. bovini and S. heydorni. Since is not possible to unambiguously discriminate between S. hominis and the new species either morphologically or by the analysis of the 18S ribosomial (rRNA) gene, the aim of the present study was to use molecular techniques to discriminate cattle Sarcocystis species, taking advantage of the higher discriminative power of the Cytochrome C Oxidase subunit I mitochondrial (mtDNA COI) gene. Therefore, 119 bovine muscle samples were tested to identify S. hominis-like sarcocystis using a multiplex PCR of the 18S rRNA gene; later, positive samples were tested using a newly designed primer set for the PCR amplification of COI gene. Species identification was achieved by sequencing the amplified products: 16 sequences were confirmed to belong to S. bovifelis, while 12 sequences didn’t constitute the best BLAST match of any of the published sequences, allowing to speculate the possible presence of S. hominis. This study confirms the higher discriminatory power of COI mitochondrial gene; besides, our work provides the first report of S. bovifelis in Italy.

Multi-order hydrologic position: a high-resolution dataset for the conterminous United States
Authors: Belitz K , Moore R , Arnold T , Sharp J , Starn J

Published: February 2019

The location of a point within a stream network can be an important measure in hydrology. Hydrologic position (HP) is defined here by two metrics: lateral position (LP) and distance from stream to divide (DSD). LP is the relative position of a point between the
stream and its watershed divide. DSD for a point is the sum of the shortest distance to the stream (DS) and the shortest distance to the divide. LP is the quotient of DS divided by DSD. In addition, HP is specified relative to a stream network of a given order, and hence each point is assigned
multiple values of HP. The highest stream order in the conterminous U.S. is ten (Mississippi River below Missouri River).
Hydrologic order "n" is defined here as the network of streams of order n and higher. For example, hydrologic order 1 is the network of all streams, and hydrologic order 2 consists only of streams of order 2 and higher. For a given hydrologic order, watershed divides are defined by Thiessen
polygons, rather than by topographic divides. A Thiessen watershed consists of all points that are closer to a given stream than to any other stream. Thiessen watershed divides can change from one hydrologic order to the next. The term multi-order hydrologic position (MOHP) is used to acknowledge
that HP for a point is defined for each of the different hydrologic orders. MOHP was developed for nine hydrologic orders.
MOHP for the conterminous U.S. was developed using the National Hydrography Dataset Version 2 (NHDPlusV2). The NHDplusV2 represents streams and waterbodies as flowlines, and includes an attribute equivalent to stream order. In addition, it was necessary to identify streams in Canada and Mexico that
are close enough to the U.S. to influence computations. Values of MOHP were identified using a raster approach with a 30-meter cell size. The file sizes for the resulting geodatabases - LP and DSD for 9 hydrologic orders for about 8.7 billion cells - were large. Consequently, an additional dataset
was developed for 90-m cells by subsampling the 30-m datasets.
Two case studies, using random forest models, are presented that demonstrate the utility of MOHP as predictor variables: geomorphic province in California's Central Valley, and depth to the water table for the Fox-Wolf-Peshtigo drainages in Wisconsin.

The Earth Resources and Geoscience Mapping section of the Ontario Geological Survey (OGS) has a groundwater-focussed initiative as part of its core mapping function. The OGS groundwater initiative involves the collection, interpretation and dissemination of
high-quality geoscience data to enhance characterization of the subsurface with three mapping activities; 3-D Paleozoic bedrock mapping, 3-D Quaternary sediment mapping, and ambient groundwater geochemistry mapping. Although the OGS has been collecting data that supports groundwater studies for over
a century, these efforts were ramped up in the early 2000's following the Walkerton tragedy, with an enhanced OGS mandate adopted in 2007. The enhanced mandate emphasized the need for high quality geoscience data in 3-D.
The OGS groundwater mapping initiative has generated new insights into groundwater quality, quantity and vulnerability and has supported water policy development in the province. Some examples include: supporting public health and the agricultural industry by identifying naturally occurring elements
at levels above provincially mandated drinking water limits; helping several municipalities explore for new groundwater resources with a predictive geological framework, saving them millions of dollars; and providing essential geological and geochemical information to support the protection and
management of municipal drinking water sources throughout Ontario. From a policy perspective, OGS geoscience data and knowledge have been integrated into recent government initiatives including: the potential growth of the Greenbelt in the outer ring of the Greater Golden Horseshoe; the development
of Provincial Watershed Planning Guidance for municipalities; bedrock groundwater vulnerability/karst; and a research project to examine the capacity and constraints of water and wastewater systems in the Greater Golden Horseshoe.
As we look to the future, the OGS aims to continue providing geoscience information that supports science-based groundwater management decisions and policy development for decades to come. Recognizing groundwater as one of the earth's resources deserving of dedicated geoscience mapping was an
insightful move for the OGS in the 2000's, and one that will continue to benefit the people of Ontario for generations to come.
Influence of litter source on soil splash rates and organic carbon loss in different soil horizons
Authors: Parwada Cosmas , Van Tol Johan
Published: February 2019

Organic litter stabilizes soil particles against the raindrop splash effect. To date, limited research has critically examined the effects of litter quality on soil aggregate detachment and soil organic carbon loss by raindrop splash impact. A study was conducted to determine the effects of different litter sources on quantity of splashed sediments and soil organic carbon (SOC) loss under simulated rainstorm patterns. Soils from seven sieved (< 0.25 mm) horizons mixed with either high-quality Vachellia karroo leaf (C/N = 23.8) and/or low-quality Zea mays stover litter (C/N = 37.4) were incubated in a laboratory for 30 weeks. Splashed sediments and SOC were measured at 1, 3, 8, 14, 23 and 30 weeks of incubation for each soil at 360 mm/h simulated rainfall intensity applied as either single 8-min rainstorm (SR) or 4 × 2-min intermittent rainstorms (IR) separated by a 72-h drying period. Organic litter significantly (P < 0.05) reduced the splashed sediments up to 8 and 14 weeks under IR and SR storms, respectively, and thereafter gradually lost its stabilizing effect on soil aggregates. In order to maintain low quantities of splashed sediments, fresh litter has to be re-applied after this stage. Generally, 13% and 25% more sediments were splashed under IR than SR at 1, 3 and 30, and 8, 14 and 23 weeks after incubation, respectively. Litter quality effect on splash sediments varied across soil horizons but were the same within a soil horizon. Soil horizons with more clay than sand particles had lower quantities of sediments. The SOC loss was influenced by the initial SOC content and primary particle size distribution. Rainstorm pattern and initial SOC content were the main factors that influenced SOC loss. However, more rainstorm patterns should be investigated for these soils.

Pan-Arctic measurements of wintertime water vapour column using a satellite-borne microwave radiometer

Published: February 2019

Abstract. A methodology for retrieving high-latitude winter water vapour columns from passive microwave satellite measurements from Perro et al. (2016) is extended to use measured surface reflectance ratios under more realistic surface reflection assumptions. Pan-Arctic wintertime water vapour is retrieved from Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) measurements made from January 2012 through March 2015 (December to March). The water vapour retrievals are validated using two ground based instruments: the G-band Vapor Radiometer (GVR) at Barrow, Alaska, and the Extended-Range Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (E-AERI) at Eureka, Nunavut. E-AERI was chosen as an additional point of validation compared to Perro et al. (2016) due to the different technology and frequencies employed to determine water vapour column compared to the ATMS and GVR. For water vapour columns less than 6 kg m−2, the biases are +2.6 % and +0.01 % relative to the GVR and E-AERI, respectively. A comparison with radiosonde humidity measurements shows they are dry relative to the ATMS measurements in North America and Western Europe, and moist in Asia and Eastern Europe, with an apparent dependence on radiosonde manufacturer. Reanalyses (ERA-5, ERA-Interim, ASR V2, JRA-55 and NCEP) are systematically drier than the ATMS measurements for water vapour columns less than 6 kg m−2, with relative biases ranging from −10 % to −23 %. These differences could have implications for the understanding of the Arctic water budget and climate.
Steady State Non-isothermal Well Flow in a Slanted Aquifer:
Mathematical formulation and Field Application to a Deep
Fault in the Xinzhou Geothermal Field in Guangdong, China
Authors: Lu Guoping , Hu Bill X.
Published: February 2019

Abstract. This paper develops a novel mathematical formulation for geothermal well flow. Non-isothermal flow would implicate the effectiveness of gravity as a body force term regulated by viscosity and density as well. Consequently it is a critical concept in practice that a dome-shaped water head surface would be present in its equilibrium-state water potential, as a proper observation needed to understand geothermal flow fields. Tabulation and formula are compiled on water density and viscosity as a function of temperatures and pressures to facilitate calculations. The derived formulas were applied to the field study site in a deep fault zone at a geothermal field in coastal Guangdong province, China, based on observations from a thousand-meter-depth borehole drilling project. The deep fault is unique in having a steep plane that emerges at the ground surface, and constitutes fast flow path for deep thermal water up to 115 °C and static water pressure up to 10 MPa at the borehole bottom. The fault is conceptualized as an inclined thin aquifer, and formula are derived for thermal outflows for the sloped aquifer to quantify the flow in the fault plane. Results showed that the deep fault has permeability equivalent to clean sands and lower end of unconsolidated gravels. Deep faults could provide useful information on pathways of preferential fluid flows. The deep fault study has several implications in deep geothermal environments and pressure characterizations, regional groundwater circulation limits, and pressure wave propagations in earthquake prediction in the deep crust.
Hydrologic Diversity in Glacier Bay Alaska: Spatial Patterns and Temporal Change
Authors: Crumley Ryan L. , Hill David F. , Beamer Jordan P. , Holzenthal Elizabeth
Published: February 2019

Abstract. A high spatial resolution (250 m), distributed snow evolution and ablation model, SnowModel, is used to estimate current and future freshwater runoff into Glacier Bay, Alaska; a fjord estuary that makes up part of Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve (GBNPP). The watershed of Glacier Bay contains significant glacier cover (tidewater and land-terminating) and strong spatial gradients in topography, land cover, and precipitation. The physical complexity and variability of the region produces a wide variety of hydrological regimes, including rainfall, snowmelt, and ice-melt dominated responses. The historic (1979–2015) mean annual runoff into Glacier Bay proper is found to be 24.5 km3 yr-1, with a peak in July, due to the overall dominance of snowmelt processes that are largely supplemented by ice-melt. Future scenarios (2070–2099) of climate and glacier cover are used to estimate changes in the hydrologic response of Glacier Bay. Under the RCP 8.5 scenario, the mean of five climate models produces a mean annual runoff of 27.5 km3 yr-1, a 12.2 % increase from historical conditions. When spatially aggregated over the entire bay region, the future seasonal hydrograph is flatter with weaker summer flows and higher winter flows. The peak flows shift to late-summer and early-fall and rain runoff becomes the dominant overall process. The timing and magnitudes of modeled historic runoff are supported by a freshwater content analysis from a 24-year, CTD-based oceanographic dataset from the U.S. National Park Service's Southeast Alaska Inventory and Monitoring Network (SEAN). Individual watersheds display a variety of changes, depending upon total glacier coverage, elevation distribution, landscape characteristics, and seasonal changes to the freezing line altitude.

A cenografia aqui é conceituada e aplicada como atividade teatral, parte importante da cena, seja ela dramática ou performativa, superando a ideia de decoração ou de coadjuvante na contextualização espacial e temporal. O corpo expressivo do ator, o espaço quase totalmente desprovido de objetos inanimados e a inversão de lugares entre atores e cenário, são colocados em questão no universo da prática cenográfica.

As abordagens cênicas no teatro lírico envolvem transposições espaço temporais e mudanças de narrativa que incidem diretamente no processo criativo dos figurinos e de seus acessórios. Nesse sentido, refletimos sobre como as convenções de estilo, datações preestabelecidas pelo libreto, bem como as narrativas textuais e musicais da ópera, podem determinar a visualidade do espetáculo, sobretudo no tocante ao figurino. Sendo assim, procuramos sondar, de que maneira os figurinos históricos, modernos, atemporais, entre outras denominações, podem condicionar o processo da encenação, assim como influir na percepção do público.
ATUAÇÃO DOCENTE DE JACQUES LECOQ NA FORMAÇÃO DE ARQUITETOS
Authors: Scheffler Ismael
Published: February 2019

O presente artigo trata sobre a atuação docente de Jacques Lecoq na formação de arquitetos junto a Escola Nacional Superior das Belas Artes de Paris, na Unidade Pedagógica de Arquitetura nº 6, atualmente Escola Nacional Superior de Arquitetura de Paris La Villette, de 1969 a 1987. Neste período, ele desenvolveu duas disciplinas que eram relacionadas ao campo da Cenografia Experimental: Laboratório de Estudo do Movimento e Laboratório de Arquitetura Dramática. Estas disciplinas deram origem ao projeto autônomo e homônimo do Laboratório de Estudo do Movimento (LEM), ligado à Escola Internacional de Teatro Jacques Lecoq, fundado em 1976 e em atividade até os dias de hoje. O artigo, elaborado a partir de fontes documentais, apresenta conteúdos e práticas metodológicas das ementas destas duas disciplinas. Diante do pouco material bibliográfico deixado por Lecoq, estes documentos ajudam a conhecer estas práticas e a compreender fundamentos de sua pedagogia, tanto para a formação de atores quanto de cenógrafos e arquitetos. O ensino proposto nas décadas de 1970 e 1980, não correspondia a uma instumentação para a produção de cenários, mas a um processo de sensibilização e desenvolvimento de um olhar poético a partir de relações fenomenológicas do estudante com o seu entorno.
“Cristo Parou em Éboli”: para um diálogo entre literatura e formação humana
Authors: Pereira Márcia Ferreira Torres
Published: February 2019

O objetivo desse artigo consiste em compreender, a partir do entrecruzamento das leituras e estudos realizados e em diálogo com Bourdieu, o estabelecimento da relação entre os aspectos interno (estética pura) e externo (reflexo do social) da literatura, ou seja, como expressão do social e criação do espírito humano, considerando o romance “Cristo Parou em Eboli” de Carlo Levi, com possibilidades de extrair desta obra elementos necessários à análise sociológica, interrogar a formação humana e o seu sentido estético emancipatório. O estudo contou com as leituras de alguns teóricos em diálogo com Bourdieu, como: Benjamin (1994); Bourdieu (1994; 2003; 2008); Brum (1996); Cândido (2002); Cohen (1978); Fisher (1981); Goldmann (1979) Lukács (1981) e outros referenciais bibliográficos, como: Adorno e Horkheimer (1978); Brandão (1986). Considera-se a literatura como veículo que intervém em posturas

político-culturais diante das formas de produzir a vida, como forma de transformar o mundo, constituinte da cultura e constituída pela cultura, visa conscientização da realidade pela compreensão dialética e estética entre a imanência da tradição e a transcendência com fins à criação.
Letramento literário e ensino de literatura no ensino médio: os reflexos de um paradoxo
Authors: Mantovani Juliana Estanislau de Ataíde
Published: February 2019

Para o debate acerca do ensino de literatura, é indispensável considerar o que a escola tem divulgado como literatura e de que maneira a prática do letramento literário está sendo inserida nas aulas, bem como analisar os Parâmetros Nacionais que regem os currículos escolares. Nesses estudos, será analisado o

conceito de letramento literário e se problematizará o que preconizam os Parâmetros curriculares acerca do ensino de literatura nas escolas de Ensino Médio brasileiras. Para tanto, será feita a apresentação e a análise dos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais e Orientações Curriculares Nacionais, bem como do

Currículo do Distrito Federal, com o objetivo de ampliar as reflexões sobre como a literatura é proposta para o Ensino Médio. Essa análise apontará para as contradições que se refletem na dificuldade do professor de literatura, dividido no paradoxo de promover o letramento literário – e, portanto, de criar

abordagens didáticas que visem à formação de leitores literários e incluam práticas diversas de leituras – ou de ensinar a historiografia literária portuguesa e brasileira. Após tais considerações, será apresentada, por fim, uma proposta de reflexão e de mudança, apontando para caminhos que possam auxiliar na

compreensão e na alteração desse cenário de paradoxos.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected database was carried out from 1990–2015. Patient demographics, comorbidities, stone and procedure characteristics were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression was used to evaluate differences in operative duration, complications, stone-free rate, and length of stay.

Results: A total of 2486 patients with a mean age of 54±15 years, body mass index (BMI) of 31±8, and stone surface area of 895±602 mm2 were analyzed; 47% of patients had comorbidities, including hypertension (22%), diabetes mellitus (14%), and cardiac disease (13%). Complication rate was 19%, including a 2% rate of major complications (Clavien grade III–V). There was a statistically significant increase in patient age, BMI, and comorbidities over time, which was correlated with an increased complication rate (odds ratio [OR] 1.15; p=0.010). The overall transfusion rate was 1.0% and remained stable (p=0.131). With time, both OR duration (mean Δ 16 minutes; p<0.001) and hospital length of stay (mean Δ 2.4 days; p<0.001) decreased significantly. Stone-free rate of 1873 patients with available three-month followup was 87% and decreased significantly over time (OR 1.09; p<0.001), but was correlated with an increased use of computed tomography (CT) scans for followup imaging.

Conclusions: Despite an increasingly complex patient population, PCNL remains a safe and effective procedure with a high stone-free rate and low risk of complications.

O histórico das recentes políticas climáticas estadunidenses é essencial para o entendimento da atual conjuntura.No início do artigo apontamos um breve histórico, com ênfase na gestão de Obama, seguimos com a análise dos fatores domésticos, responsáveis pela saída do Acordo; ao final concluímos com os impactos nas negociações internacionais e no âmbito doméstico.
Lobo sem pele de cordeiro: o impacto do “fator Trump” para a mobilização conservadora latino-americana
Authors: Bragança Danillo Avellar , Freitas Marcello De Souza
Published: February 2019

Neste texto, os autores investigam de forma coordenada o declínio do poder norte-americano, a chegada de Donald Trump ao poder e o impacto nas políticas de integração sul-americana. Este texto demonstra como que a mudança na política externa norte-americana ao longo desta década culminaram em cambios institucionais importante nos países da região e suas estruturas compartilhadas. O argumento é que estes processos estão todos interligados, ainda que esparsados pelo tempo, anteriores até a Trump. Nesse sentido, demonstra-se a existência de uma janela de oportunidade, onde é possível que, num ponto no futuro, novos arranjos podem surgir da incapacidade do mandatário norte-americano em produzir uma política consistente para a região.
Repräsentationen von Staat in Afrika
Authors: Krämer Anna Maria
Published: February 2019

In academic as well as political and media discourse, fragile and failed states are described today as safe havens for transnational terrorists and thus as a global security threat. The vast majority of the states labelled as such are located on the African continent. Within these discourses, statehood in general is often denied to African states, or the internal state actors are represented as solely corrupt and criminal.
In this book, Anna Krämer presents a critical genealogical reconstruction of hegemonic representations of statehood in the Euro-Western discourse on Africa. By juxtaposing contemporary political science discourse on statehood in Africa to the field of historical (colonial) representations of African states from the 18th and 19th centuries, she reveals continuous power relations and submits them to a critical interrogation. Thereby, her book contributes to a postcolonial conceptualisation of statehood on the African continent.
Registrierte Gegenstände im grenzüberschreitenden Insolvenzverfahren nach der EuInsVO
Authors: Schneider Isabelle
Published: February 2019

With the growing international integration of corporate activities into the European Single Market, there is also a growing number of insolvencies with cross-border implications. The European Insolvency Regulation (EIR) creates a uniform international insolvency law for this purpose. This work examines how registered assets, i.e. land, ships and aircraft, which belong to a debtor are treated in cross-border insolvency proceedings under the EIR. Essentially, the work answers the question of how insolvency proceedings opened in one EU Member State affect the debtor’s assets that are registered in another Member State and how the insolvency administrator or a secured creditor can realise them. The recent insolvencies of the airlines Air Berlin and Niki in 2017 as well as of numerous shipping funds show the relevance and topicality of this matter.
A escrita-currículo da perspectiva cultural da Educação Física: por que os professores fazem o que fazem?
Authors: Bonetto Pedro Xavier Russo , Neira Marcos Garcia
Published: February 2019

Na esteira do exemplo de Deleuze-professor, o presente artigo problematiza os elementos a partir dos quais 10 docentes constroem o currículo cultural da Educação Física, ou seja, os aspectos didático-metodológicos que mobilizam e as forças que os atravessam quando pensam as atividades de ensino. Como forma de produção de dados, empregamos o Diário de Bordo Digital e o Grupo de Discussão. Nas análises realizadas mediante o confronto com o referencial deleuze-guattariano, observamos que a “escrita-currículo” é produzida no entrecruzar de infinitas linhas, algumas molares (as leis educacionais, as regras e normas do regimento escolar, o Projeto Político Pedagógico), outras moleculares (a cultura dos alunos, seus desejos, atitudes, falas, as disposições espaciais, temporais e os princípios pedagógicos) e, por fim, as linhas de fuga, que, sendo efêmeras, passam pela “escrita-currículo” como acontecimentos e agenciamentos inesperados, disruptivos e criadores. Atentos e desejando tais agenciamentos, os professores e professoras, sensíveis às linhas de força flexíveis, fazem da “escrita-currículo” um acontecimento sempre traduzido, singular, diferente, especial, raro e único.
Agentic and communal interaction goals in conflictual intergroup relations
Authors: Aydin Anna Lisa , Ullrich Johannes , Siem Birte , Locke Kenneth D. , Shnabel Nurit
Published: February 2019

Members of conflicting groups experience threats to different identity dimensions, resulting in the need to restore the aspect of identity that was threatened. Do these needs translate into specific goals in social interactions? In the present research, we examined the hypotheses that (1) experiencing one’s ingroup as illegitimately disadvantaged or victimized arouses agentic goals (to act and appear assertive and confident) when interacting with the advantaged or victimizing group, while (2) experiencing one’s ingroup as illegitimately advantaged or perpetrating transgressions arouses communal goals (to act and appear warm and trustworthy) when interacting with the disadvantaged or victimized group. Study 1 (N = 391) generally supported both hypotheses across diverse intergroup contexts involving gender, national/ethnic, and consumer identities. Study 2 (N = 122) replicated this pattern in a context of occupational identities. Study 2 further showed that the effect of ingroup role on agentic and communal intergroup goals was not moderated by participants’ general dispositional preferences for agentic and communal goals in interpersonal interactions, thus demonstrating how ingroup role exerts a distinct and robust influence on goals for interactions with other groups. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Abstract. Identifying fastidious pathogens in patients with prosthetic joint infection (PJI) by culture is challenging. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is a novel culture-independent approach that is associated with a higher likelihood for identifying pathogens. We present a case where mNGS was implemented to identify Parvimonas micra, a rarely reported and difficult-to-culture PJI pathogen.
La Seine du crime et les petits métiers parisiens
Authors: Gauthier Nicolas
Published: February 2019

La Seine offre un défi particulier à l’auteur de mystères urbains dont le programme consiste à dévoiler les secrets de Paris : il paraît tout aussi incongru de faire l’économie de cet élément incontournable de la géographie parisienne que de présenter ce fleuve bien connu comme un mystère. Plusieurs de ces romans choisissent donc la seconde option, mais en proposant du fleuve une mise en scène complexe, organisée autour d’une population de personnages exerçant divers petits métiers présentés, eux, comme méconnus du lecteur. Y dominent les figures du chiffonnier et du pirate, livrant du monde fluvial un portrait d’abord socioéconomique. À travers l’analyse des modalités de cette mise en scène, cette étude vise à montrer comment les mystères urbains situent, dans la grande ville, l’espace que constitue la Seine.
Où est la Seine dans les Tableaux parisiens de Baudelaire ?
Authors: Roldan Sébastien
Published: February 2019

Où est la Seine dans les Tableaux parisiens ? Cette question toute simple à résoudre en apparence recèle maints pièges qu’il est nécessaire d’examiner si l’on espère offrir un portrait juste et éclairé de l’image du fleuve parisien dans la plus référentielle (et la plus commentée) des sections des Fleurs du Mal. Parmi ces pièges, citons : les liens entre réel et idéal chez Baudelaire, les stratifications vertigineuses du sens dans la poésie baudelairienne, les faux-semblants et les effets spéculaires souvent trompeurs, l’exotisme, le romantisme, le symbolisme… de même que l’abondance de la critique ancienne et récente sur toutes ces questions. La présente étude aborde ces problèmes au fil d’une enquête qui aboutit à un paradoxe tout baudelairien : plus la présence de la Seine se fait ténue au sein de ces Tableaux parisiens, plus elle est significative.
Géocritique du fleuve dans les mémoires de la Commune de Louise Michel
Authors: Narayana Valérie
Published: February 2019

Une approche géocritique examine le motif fluvial dans l’écriture autobiographique de Louise Michel et plus particulièrement dans La Commune : histoire et souvenirs (1898). La Seine est prise comme principe figuratif ordonnant le courant des foules, les jeux de pouvoir et le sort des insurgés. Le bassin fluvial est parcouru comme espace mémoriel et métaphorique, à la convergence de forces militaires et géopolitiques. Une poétique de la fluidité fait de ce récit intertextuel, tactique et fragmentaire, un lieu où se reflètent les aléas de la politique et les méandres du progrès.
Efek moderasi kepercayaan politik terhadap hubungan antara religiusitas Islam dan intoleransi politik
Authors: Zhafira Ananda
Published: February 2019

Penelitian ini merupakan studi kuantitatif yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan an­tara religiusitas Islam dan intoleransi politik dan efek moderasi kepercayaan politik ter­hadap hubungan dua variabel tersebut. Intoleransi politik diprediksi memiliki hubungan positif dengan intoleransi politik di mana kepercayaan politik dapat memperkuat hubungan keduanya. Intoleransi politik diukur dengan Political Intolerance Scale yang dikembangkan oleh Sullivan, Marcus, Feldman, dan Piereson (1981) sementara itu religiusitas Islam diukur dengan Muslim Religiosity Scale yang disusun oleh El-Menouar (2014). Ke­percayaan politik diukur dengan Citizen Trust in Government Organizations Scale yang dikembangkan oleh Grimmelikhuijsen dan Knies (2015). Responden penelitian ini meru­pakan 841 orang mahasiswa di Indonesia yang beragama Islam dan dijaring secara daring. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa religiusitas Islam berkorelasi positif dan signifikan dengan intoleransi politik. Sementara itu, kepercayaan politik tidak berkontribusi sebagai moderator terhadap hubungan religiusitas Islam dan intoleransi politik.
