Coral reefs worldwide are affected by excessive sediment and nutrient delivery from adjacent watersheds. Land cover and land use changes contribute to reef ecosystem degradation, which in turn,diminish many ecosystem services, including coastal protection, recreation, and food provisioning. The objectives of this work were to understand the role of coastal oceanic and biophysical processes in mediating the effects of sedimentation in shallow reef environments, and to assess the efficacy of land-based sediment remediation in the coastal areas near Maunalei reef, Lāna’i Island, Hawai’i. To the best of our knowledge, this was the first study of sediment dynamics on an east-facing (i.e., facing the trade winds) reef in the Hawaiian Islands. We developed ridge-to-reef monitoring systems at two paired stream bed-to-reef sites, where one of the reef sites was adjacent to a community stream sediment remediation project. We found that the two reef sites were characterized by different processes that affected the sediment removal rates; the two sites were also exposed to different amounts of sediment runoff. The community stream sediment remediation project appeared to keep at least 77 tonnes of sediment off the reef flat in one wet season. We found that resuspension of sediments on this reef was similar to that on north-facing and south-facing reefs that also are exposed to the trade winds. We posit that sites with slower sediment removal rates due to slower current velocities or high resuspension rates will require more-robust sediment capture systems on land to reduce sediment input rates and maximize potential for reef health recovery. This suggests that interventions such as local sediment remediation and watershed restoration may mitigate sediment delivery to coral reefs, but these interventions are more likely to be effective if they account for how adjacent coastal oceanographic processes distribute, accumulate, or advect sediment away from reefs. Our results on the effectiveness of gabion dam sediment capture may help guide scalable solutions for erosion control on islands.
Transoesophageal echocardiography before DC cardioversion: a survey of clinical practice in the UK
Authors: Ahluwalia Nikhil , Bhattacharyya Sanjeev , Munns Christopher , Chambers John
Published: January 2016

Transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) can be used to expedite DC cardioversion (DCCV) in the absence of adequate anticoagulation. There are no guidelines for the management of sedation or general anaesthetic. We performed a survey of NHS echocardiography departments to determine UK practice. Responses were received from 95 (50%) of 189 centres, and TOE-guided DCCV was performed in 81 centres. The numbers were <10 a year in 41 (50%), 10–50 in 31 (38%), 50–100 in 8 (10%) and >100 in 4 (5%) centres. Sedation for TOE was a usual practice in 67 (80%) centres but often temporally disconnected from DCCV due to logistical reasons. TOE under general anaesthetic was performed in 35 (43%) centres and as the usual method in 16 (20%). The patient was in the supine position with endotracheal intubation in 20 (57%) of centres, but without any form of airway protection while supine in 5 (14%). There is variability in practice across centres in the UK, in part due to limitations to services in most centres but also because of an absence of UK guidelines. The development of national standards may address this and aid in the development of local business cases to extend services.
Fecal transplantation indications in ulcerative colitis. Preliminary study
Authors: Laszlo Mihaela , Ciobanu Lidia , Andreica Vasile , Pascu Oliviu
Published: January 2016

Background and aims. Fecal microbiota transplantation is used with success in persistent (more than two episodes) Clostridium Difficile Infection; it has also gained importance and started to be used in inflammatory bowel disease. There are theoretical arguments that justify its use in ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease. Based on our clinical cases we tried to evaluate the indications of fecal microbiota transplantation young patients with ulcerative colitis  and multiple relapses, in which biological or immunosuppressive treatment were ineffective.Methods. Five patients with moderate-severe ulcerative colitis or Clostridium Difficile infection who ceased to have a therapeutic response to biological therapy, were given fecal microbiota transplant as an alternative to biological therapy and/or immunosuppression. Fecal microbiota transplant was administered via colonoscopy using healthy donors from their family.Results. The results were favorable and spectacular in all patients and complete remission was achieved for at least 10 months. Clinical remission was achieved in all patients. Endoscopic appearance of ulcers in patients improved. In 2 patients the effect of the fecal microbiota transplant diminished after 10-12 months and the tendency to relapse appeared (3-4 stools/day, blood streaks present sometimes in the stool). Reintroduction of systemic therapy or immunosuppression demonstrated that patients regained the therapeutic response to these treatments, and remission was maintained.Conclusion. Fecal microbiota transplantation can be used as salvage therapy in patients refractory to biological therapy, as elective therapy in clostridium difficile infection or as an alternative therapy in young patients with multiple relapses who have reservations regarding biological or immunosuppressive treatment.
The Register of the Qadi Court “Kiyahi Pĕqih Najmuddin” of the Sultanate of Banten, 1754-1756 CE.
Authors: Yakin Ayang Utriza
Published: January 2016

The present study focuses on manuscript LOr 5626 from the archives of the Qadi of the Sultanate of Bantěn (1527-1813), in Indonesia. This codex is preserved in the Leiden University library, which acquired it from C. Snouck Hurgronje. It consists of the ‘legal cases’ brought before the Kiyahi Pěqih Najmuddin, the Islamic judge in Bantěn, by the inhabitants. The register, which covers the period from 1754 to 1756, is the oldest ‘sijill’ (court record) in Southeast Asia, and it contains cases on marriage, divorce, inheritance, litigation, private transactions, loans, debts, and violence. The manuscript demonstrates the judicial practice exercised by the qadi of Banten and reveals important findings on the relationship between Islamic legal theory and practice This essay hopefully will contribute to Islamic legal history in general both by providing textual evidence that the qadi record (sijill) existed in Southeast Asia during the eighteenth century and by presenting its contents.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v22i3.2354

Este artículo presenta los principales discursos asociados a las prácticas del graffiti (tagging,
arte urbano, político) y sus productores en el periódico La Nación, durante el periodo
2001-2010. A través del análisis cualitativo de artículos de noticia y de opinión, el graffiti
aparece como una amenaza a nociones de patrimonio y bien común, enfatizando su impacto
sobre el orden público y la seguridad. No obstante, el graffiti en su forma más artística
(influenciado por la cultura hip-hop) parece ser aceptado socialmente solo a partir de la
institucionalización de la práctica, considerando su valor estético y sus usos sociales.

The Baha’i Faith: A Case Study in Globalization, Mobility and the Routinization of Charisma
Authors: Fozdar Farida
Published: January 2016

‘Founding Father’ of sociology Max Weber argued that charismatic authority, based on the personal magnetism of a prophetic leader and necessary at the initial stages of the establishment of religions, is not sustainable. He suggested that the charisma of the founder must be ‘routinized’ in bureaucratic structures that formalize leadership and organization. The danger in this process is the loss of the ‘spirit’ of the original movement, with an increasing focus on the preservation and replication of formal structures and practices. This paper considers the case study of the Baha’i Faith, a religion founded in the 1860s in Iran, but which quickly mobilized, through a structured program of dissemination in the form of international plans of action and the movement of ‘pioneers’ (unpaid missionaries), to become a worldwide religion whose fundamental orientation is global (it promotes itself as the second most widespread religion in the world). Most recently the process of routinization is evident not only in the formalizing of structures of leadership and organization, but in the systematization of beliefs, speci?cally structures of study and practice, through a program called ‘the Ruhi institute process’. This paper outlines these developments, and suggests possible causes for the phenomenon, including ‘elective af?nity’ between it and other globalizing factors such as the Iranian diaspora, with special reference to Australia.
A Spirit Map of Bangkok: Spirit Shrines and the City in Thailand
Authors: Johnson Andrew A.
Published: January 2016

As many scholars of Thai Buddhism have shown, Thailand’s religious sphere incorporates animist and Brahminist elements into a new fusion. But this religious system is not seamless, rather it rests upon internal contradiction and division, between upper and lower class, rural and urban. Alongside the of?cial spirit shrines devoted to the Thai state and the continued progress and expansion of the city, via an analysis of urban spirit cults, I address the unexpected irruption of nature, death, and accident into the planned urban cityscape. Here, I examine one nocturnal pilgrimage by a spirit medium and her devotees across Bangkok’s spiritual cityscape. I ask what this ‘spirit map’ of Bangkok opens up for analysis in the context of those areas of Bangkok swallowed up by its continuous expansion, and address the nature of urban religious aspirations for her and her spirit’s devotees. Ultimately, drawing from Bhabha’s idea of hybridity, I argue that this medium’s Bangkok presents a challenge to established hierarchies of power, a challenge that focuses on the unusual (e.g. accident sites) as evidence for the appearance of the transcendent.
Mobile Religion on Ancestral Ground: Rituals of Christian Conversion in the Western Solomon Islands
Authors: McDougall Debra
Published: January 2016

Conversion to Christianity from an ancestral religion is often depicted as a move from a closed world of local spirits to a radically open world of a transcendent God. This article focuses on the Paci?c Islands, one of the most thoroughly Christian parts of the world, where people themselves often describe conversion as a move from a local to a global world. Drawing on ethnohistorical research conducted over a period of decades on the island of Ranongga in the Western Province of Solomon Islands, this article focuses on narratives about the arrival of Christianity and stories recounting the efforts of indigenous missionaries to establish Christianity in local places. It complicates a simple but compelling contrast between Christian universalism and ancestral localism by showing that many ancestral powers had themselves come from afar and new converts drew on old ritual techniques for conquering localized powers and installing their new God.
Badanie egzogeniczności zmiennych stosowanych w modelowaniu handlu zagranicznego na przykładzie krajów Grupy Wyszehradzkiej
Authors: Salamaga Marcin
Published: January 2016

Some concepts of modern econometrics do not use an arbitrary split of the variables into endogenous and exogenous ones. One of the most popular is the Granger causality test, in which it is assumed a priori that there is no distinction between the exogenous and endogenous variables. On the other hand, from the point of view of an econometric model, estimation or prediction may be important to test weak or strong exogeneity of variables. In modelling an economy, including international trade, there are often variables between which feedback may occur. The causality of the variables in the classical sense is not always so obvious here, and it should be tested. This will facilitate the proper model specification of foreign trade. The aim of this paper is to study the exogeneity of selected macroeconomic variables used in the models of foreign trade using the example of the Visegrad Group countries. The results may be helpful in determining the structure of the actual relationships between variables, in choosing the estimation method of appropriate models and in forecasting.
Family and Educational Institutions (Kindergarten and School) as the Areas of Experiencing Values
Authors: Jezierska - Wiejak Elżbieta
Published: January 2016

At the time when a child is given birth to, its process of rooting in the social world begins and through the two specific phenomena, i.e. socialisation and upbringing, such child becomes a representative of a society. However, there are two institutions inseparable from this process, i.e. kindergarten and school. Nonetheless, a family is the fist and natural upbringing environment for children, teaching them appropriate behavior, providing with code of conduct and values. Intergenerational transmission of values is the mechanisms allowing generational continuity, as it focuses on passing on values crucial for the parents, manifested through a specific contact with their children. On the other hand, kindergarten and school as institutions reflect the period when a child becomes a part of a structured social group, where all pupils are subject to the same rules, by which members of such group build up their knowledge on society and culture, constructing their individual and unique image of own self and the world around. Last but not least, it is also the time of preparing them to undertake autonomous and efficient activities. Such institutions conduct their upbringing activities in intentional and organised manner, in accordance with the curricula, taking into consideration socially established, upbringing objectives involving assistance of pedagogical staf and appropriately adjusted equipment. Therefore, cooperation and engagement of these three institutions allows to establish a coherent image of own self and own position in a society.
Changes in Pedagogical Interaction in the Context of Productive Learning
Authors: Petruškevičiūtė Auksė
Published: January 2016

Productive Learning, an educational innovation in the education system of Lithuania, whose theoretical paradigms and methodology enable widening the scope of the concept of pedagogical interaction to the conceptual scope of educational interaction, is presented in this article. Social actors surrounding the young person, i.e. peer students, local community, various entities of the labour market, are being consistently involved into the process of his / her self-education. A student in cooperation with a teacher and other actors of the self-educational process design the self-education content that meets his / her individual needs, while the process of self-education of a student is integrated into the process of learning at sites of practical training that are selected by himself / herself.

Productive Learning is introduced as a “branch” of Alternative Education in Lithuania’s education system. Its target-group is students of Forms 9–10 who experience lasting failures at school and are attributed to the risk group of early school leavers.

In this article, changes at student, teacher and school level caused by the educational interaction taking place in the context of Productive Learning are discussed and the main impediments for building the educational interaction in the new environment are disclosed.

Building on the results of the empirical study that are corresponding those obtained in other countries (Germany, Finland) where Productive Learning is being adopted, an assertion can be made that the educational interaction being developed in Productive Learning leads to positive changes. Therefore, Productive Learning can be transferred and adopted in the education system of Lithuania as a feasible and effective pedagogical system.

The results and conclusions of the study bear relevance for education policymakers, researchers and practicians who are looking for new and effective possibilities for development of (self-) educational processes and those who conduct a deeper analysis of the phenomenon of educational interaction.
Perspectives of Relations between School and Parents from the Middle Ages to the Reformation
Authors: Vidmar Tadej
Published: January 2016

Author analyses some perspectives and interpretations of relations between school and parents in the past. He points out how they were developing in the Middle Ages and in the time of Reformation. In that time cooperation of parents and a school was understood essentially different as today. In the Middle Ages the relation between parents and a school was clear and mostly non-problematic, at least regarding the contents, methods and objectives of education. Relations inside the school were an image of relations inside the family. In the time of Reformation status was not essentially different, still educators as Johannes Sturm began more intensively to think about meaning of cooperation between a school and a family.
Antenna Arrays Principle and Solutions: Robust Control Approach
Authors: Hutu Florin , Cauet Sebastien , Coirault Patrick
Published: January 2016

This paper treats solutions on the ability of a chain of non identical oscillators to drive antenna arrays. Frequency approaches were studied in order to solve the problem of synchronization of the oscillators. However, in this article, a new structure of chain of oscillators is introduced. Secondly, Lyapunov theory of stability is used to design a dynamical controller guarantying the oscillators synchronization. The problem of synchronization is transformed into a problem of asymptotic stabilization for a nonlinear system. It is formulated as a system of linear matrix inequalities where the parameter variations of the two oscillators and their differences are modeled by polytopic matrices. The theoretical result is successfully applied to an array of transistor-based oscillators used in "smart antenna" systems.

Published: January 2016

Abstract This article aims to determine the pattern of alcohol use in the elderly and its associations with sociodemographic characteristics in an elderly sample of patients from the city of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 557 seniors, aged 60 years or more, through application of the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview and a global assessment questionnaire for the elderly. The majority of the 557 senior citizens did not complete elementary school (58.3%), were white (65.1%), married (37.6%), had no caregiver (62.2%), were catholic (65.5%) and practicing their religion (68.6%), were retired (67.7%), and had a personal income of up to one minimum salary (56.1%). The study revealed 67 (12%) elderly people with a history of alcoholism, of which 17 (3.1%) had a diagnosis of current alcoholism, 50 (9%) had a history of alcohol dependence in the past and 16 (2.9%) had a current alcohol abuse problem. Men had a prevalence ratio of 11.6 times for a history of alcoholism in comparison to women. The results confirm that alcoholism is frequent in the population of Brazilian elderly, drawing attention to some socio-demographic characteristics that can make a difference in the early diagnosis of alcoholism.

Published: January 2016

Resumo O objetivo do artigo é conhecer a distribuição e a frequência de consumo de ansiolíticos benzodiazepínicos, bem como avaliar a correlação entre consumo e características demográficas, epidemiológicas, econômicas e sociais. Estudo ecológico tendo como unidade amostral as 27 capitais brasileiras. A coleta de dados foi executada através do banco da Anvisa, para a dispensação do Alprazolam, Bromazepam, Clonazepam, Diazepam e Lorazepam, de 2010 a 2012, do Censo Demográfico 2010 (IBGE), Datasus e da pesquisa Demografia Médica. A análise estatística descritiva e a de regressão linear múltipla foram realizadas para análise dos dados. A região Norte possui as capitais com menores médias de consumo desses medicamentos e o Sudeste as mais elevadas. O consumo médio para a população de todas as capitais foi de 3,60 DHD. O Alprazolam é o mais dispensado pelas farmácias e drogarias particulares, com média de 2,00 DHD para as capitais. A análise de regressão linear múltipla demonstrou que 76% da variância do consumo foi explicada pela variação da densidade demográfica (β = 0,310 p = 0,045) e percentual de médicos (β = 0,507 p = 0,016). O consumo de ansiolíticos de meia vida curta vem crescendo ao longo dos anos, principalmente nas capitais de maior densidade demográfica e concentração de médicos.
Retirantes cearenses na província do Amazonas: colonização, trabalho e conflitos (1877-1879)
Authors: Barboza Edson Holanda Lima
Published: January 2016

RESUMO O artigo trata da migração de cearenses para a província do Amazonas em decorrência da grande seca que afetou o Ceará entre 1877 e 1879. Acompanhamos os esforços de rearticulação de colônias agrícolas, anteriormente planejadas para receber imigrantes europeus, as quais acabaram incorporando levas de retirantes que buscavam manter atividades similares às de seus locais de origem, com destaque para a agricultura. Destacamos ainda a segunda tentativa de construção da Ferrovia Madeira-Mamoré, frente de trabalho que, além de cearenses, incorporou também imigrantes norte-americanos, irlandeses e italianos. Questões ambientais, esgotamento financeiro, ações de resistência e desvios de recursos inviabilizaram tanto as colônias agrícolas como a ferrovia, causando o retorno dos trabalhadores estrangeiros e a insatisfação generalizada entre os nativos. As elites amazônicas passaram a direcionar as migrações para as afastadas regiões de extração de borracha, isolando e pulverizando novas aglomerações e insubordinações.

Published: January 2016

ABSTRACT Current meters are equipment widely used for estimating flow velocity in rivers and streams. Periodic calibrations of current meters are important to ensure the quality of measurements, but the required testing facilities are complex and only available in a few institutions. However, advances in electronics and automation may contribute to developing simple and reliable calibration systems. Thus, this study aimed to develop an automated system for testing current meters, which consisted of a trapezoidal channel, a step motor, a tow car and a management system, composed of a supervisory application and microprocessed modules to control the motor and the data acquisition. Evaluations of the displacement velocity showed that it matched the reference value up to 1.85 m s-1 for a vertical-axis current meter and 2.3 m s-1 for a horizontal-axis one. The developed system showed reliability during tests, for both current meter movement and data acquisition. The management of the system based on the developed modules and the supervisory application improved its user interface, turning all the procedure into a simple task.

Increasing Engagement in French and Francophone Studies: Structured Journaling on the Emotions in La Fayette's La princesse de Clèves
Authors: Connors Logan J.
Published: January 2016

Literary representations of emotions fascinate us as readers; they connect to us logically and naturally because we experience in our daily lives many of the emotional events depicted in novels, plays, and poems. Students are intrigued by the similarities and differences between their everyday feelings and the emotions represented in literature. Emotions are thus interesting processes to study, and in classroom discussions and activities most students have something to say about them. For this reason, I use emotion (broadly defined) as an important subject of inquiry in my literature and culture classes. In what follows, I share a structured journaling assignment based on emotion that helps students read with more detail, improves their foreign language skills, and boosts their engagement with difficult subject matter.
Efficiency of sophorolipids for arsenic removal from mine tailings
Authors: Arab Fereshteh , Mulligan Catherine N
Published: January 2016

Mine tailings are one of the main sources of dissolved arsenic (As) in groundwater. In the present study, an investigation was conducted on the efficiency of sophorolipids, at different concentrations and pH levels and at two different temperatures (15°C and 23°C), to remove arsenic and heavy metals from mine tailings. Furthermore, the effect of sophorolipids on the speciation of arsenic and the effectiveness of sophorolipids on different fractions of the specimens were investigated by way of sequential extraction. After the treatment of the specimens with a solution of 1% sophorolipids at pH 5 and 23°C, 0·7% of the total removed arsenic was from the water-soluble portion of the mine tailing sample, 0·7% was from the exchangeable portion, 0·6% was from the carbonates, 29·9% was from the oxide/hydroxide fraction, 3·0% was from the organic portion and 65·1% was from the residual fraction of the specimen. The results from this study can help develop a sustainable and environment-friendly solution for the remediation of mine tailings.
Towards the future-proofing of UK infrastructure
Authors: Masood Tariq , McFarlane Duncan , Parlikad Ajith Kumar , Dora John , Ellis Andrew , Schooling Jennifer
Published: January 2016

Ensuring long-term performance from key infrastructure is essential to enable it to serve society and to maintain a sustainable economy. The future-proofing of key infrastructure involves addressing two broad issues: (i) resilience to unexpected or uncontrollable events (e.g., extreme weather events); (ii) adaptability to required changes in structure and/or operations of the infrastructure in the future. Increasingly, infrastructure owners, designers, builders, governments and operators are being required to consider possible future challenges as part of the life cycle planning for assets and systems that make up key infrastructure. A preliminary study is reported here that aimed at exploring the following questions related to infrastructure (systems): what does ‘future-proofing’ of infrastructural assets mean? Why and when should critical infrastructure be future-proofed? How can infrastructure assets (systems) be prepared for uncertain future events? How can future-proofing considerations be incorporated into infrastructure asset management practices? To seek answers to the above questions, two industrial workshops were conducted that brought together leading practitioners in the UK infrastructure and construction sectors, along with government policymakers. This paper captures lessons learnt from the workshops and proposes a framework for linking future-proofing into asset management considerations. Case studies of Dawlish railway and Heathrow airport are also presented.

AmiRNA Designer - new method of artificial miRNA design.
Authors: Mickiewicz Agnieszka , Rybarczyk Agnieszka , Sarzynska Joanna , Figlerowicz Marek , Blazewicz Jacek

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that have been found in most of the eukaryotic organisms. They are involved in the regulation of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level in a sequence specific manner. MiRNAs are produced from their precursors by Dicer-dependent small RNA biogenesis pathway. Involvement of miRNAs in a wide range of biological processes makes them excellent candidates for studying gene function or for therapeutic applications. For this purpose, different RNA-based gene silencing techniques have been developed. Artificially transformed miRNAs (amiRNAs) targeting one or several genes of interest represent one of such techniques being a potential tool in functional genomics. Here, we present a new approach to amiRNA*design, implemented as AmiRNA Designer software. Our method is based on the thermodynamic analysis of the native miRNA/miRNA* and miRNA/target duplexes. In contrast to the available automated tools, our program allows the user to perform analysis of natural miRNAs for the organism of interest and to create customized constraints for the design stage. It also provides filtering of the amiRNA candidates for the potential off-targets. AmiRNA Designer is freely available at http://www.cs.put.poznan.pl/arybarczyk/AmiRNA/.

Authors: Castro Franco Alexandra
Published: January 2016

Migrants en détresse, tensions aux frontières, crises humanitaires et peurs liées au phénomène migratoire sont devenus un refrain quotidien et médiatique dans toutes les régions du monde. En effet, le phénomène migratoire met à l’épreuve de façon très concrète et immédiate la souveraineté des états, et pose un grand nombre de questions d’ordre juridique, de difficile résolution. Cet article offre une introduction synthétique et pédagogique à la question de la gouvernance des flux migratoires et aux défis que représentent pour les états leur contrôle et la régulation. Par ailleurs, l’auteure décrit les grandes lignes des possibles scénarios qui doivent être explorés pour construiré une gouvernance des flux migratoires qui permettent d’articuler les régimes juridiques nationales et internationales pour protéger les états et les migrants, dans le cadre d’un monde globalisé.

It is done through the construction of Islam as a religion of moderation and delegitimize Charlie Hebdo as magazine satyr abusing freedom. Various strategies are used ranging from strategy passivation to interdetermination. In this case, there are two poles of attraction in both media, namely the Western and Islamic ideology. If both media are quoting from Western sources, the Western ideology dominates the media narrative. Conversely, when both media used Islamic sources, the influence of Islamic ideology dominates the narrative of both media.
