Published: October 2019

Abstract. The demand of aerial photogrammetry has increased recently especially after the development of unmanned aerial vehicle system. This study explores the use of different UAV systems which comprised of conventional UAV, UAV RTK and UAV Lidar systems. This study also comprises of three experiments. The first experiment involved the mapping of Lingkaran Ilmu, UTM by using fixed wing Ebee UAV with 20megapixel digital camera. This first experiment used conventional UAV. The second experiment involved the fixed wing Ebee UAV equipped with real time kinematic (RTK) system on-board for mapping the study area. The last experiment is the used of octacopter UAV equipped with Riegl Lidar system for mapping the study area. The study area for all experiments is located in Lingkaran Ilmu of main campus Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia. Ebee UAV and Ebee RTK UAV are flown in autonomous mode at 200 meters altitude. Both systems are used to capture high resolution aerial photo of the study area. Riegl UAV Lidar system is flown at 100 meter altitude for capture high resolution and point cloud data. GPS rapid static method was used for establishing ground control points (GCP) and check point (CP) in the study area. Three different GCP configuration was applied in geometry correction. Meanwhile, CPs is used for accuracy assessment where RMSE equation was employed. The 15CGP configuration produce more accurate result compared to another. Where, the planimetric RMSE values of Ebee UAV, Ebee RTK UAV and Riegl UAV Lidar are 0.21 m, 0.09 m and 0.15 m respectively. For height RMSE values for Ebbe, Ebee RTK and Octacopter Lidar are 0.34 m, 0.13 m and 0.07 m respectively. In conclusion, Ebee RTK UAV is identified as a system that can produce an accurate digital orthophoto compared to other systems while Riegl UAV Lidar system can produce highest accurate DEM and DTM compared to other systems in 15GCP configuration.
SPATIAL ADJACENCY ANALYSIS OF CITYGML BUILDINGS VIA 3D TOPOLOGICAL DATA STRUCTURE
Authors: Salleh S. , Ujang U. , Azri S. , Choon T. L.
Published: October 2019

Abstract. Adjacencies between objects provides the most basic connectivity information of objects. This connectivity information provides support for more complex 3D spatial analysis such as 3D navigation, nearest neighbour and others. In 3D models, the connectivity information is maintained by building a comprehensive 3D topology. As the international standard for 3D city models, CityGML employs a simple XML links mechanism that references related entities to each other as a means of maintaining topological information. This method fulfils the purpose of relating connected entities but, it does not describe how the entities are related or in other words its adjacencies. In this study, a 3D topological data structure was utilised to preserve topological primitives and maintain connectivity information for CityGML datasets of buildings in LoD2. The adjacencies tested in this study were based on the topological links maintained by the Compact Abstract Cell Complexes 3D topological data structure. Four types of adjacencies were tested which are Point-to-Line, Line-to-Surface, Surface-to-Surface and Volume-to-Volume adjacency. As a result, all adjacencies were able to be executed for both datasets which consisted of two connected buildings and disjointed buildings. It was found that the ability of the 3D topological data structure to preserve topological primitives and build topological links supported the maintenance of connectivity information between buildings. The maintenance of connectivity information was also not limited to objects of the same dimension and could extend to connectivity between building elements in different dimensions.

SITE SELECTION FOR NEW POINT TO POINT (P2P) BUS ENDPOINTS AND ROUTES IN METRO MANILA, PHILIPPINES
Authors: Vergara K. A. , Sanchez J. , Bautista E. L.
Published: October 2019

Abstract. The Point to Point Bus system (P2P) is a relatively new transportation alternative available in selected areas in Metro Manila and other provinces nearby. New routes are continuously added to cater to the ever-increasing demand of the commuting public to avoid wasting time in heavy traffic and to provide alternatives to the inconvenient metro trains. This paper presents a methodology for the identification of potential sites of additional routes for P2P Premium Bus Service in Metro Manila. Trip generation, trip attraction, and friction factor were determined to show trip distribution using gravity model. A raster-based approach of gravity model was conducted to disaggregate zonal data into discrete and continuous trip distribution values. Through the generated trip distribution values, site suitability was conducted to identify origin and destination of routes, primarily the major malls. Using network analysis, 14 new routes were identified by connecting suitable sites for P2P Premium Bus Service routes.

Published: October 2019

Abstract. The leaf area index (LAI) is one of key variable of crops which plays important role in agriculture, ecology and climate change for global circulation models to compute energy and water fluxes. In the recent research era, the machine-learning algorithms have provided accurate computational approaches for the estimation of crops biophysical parameters using remotely sensed data. The three machine-learning algorithms, random forest regression (RFR), support vector regression (SVR) and artificial neural network regression (ANNR) were used to estimate the LAI for crops in the present study. The three different dates of Landsat-8 satellite images were used during January 2017 – March 2017 at different crops growth conditions in Varanasi district, India. The sampling regions were fully covered by major Rabi season crops like wheat, barley and mustard etc. In total pooled data, 60% samples were taken for the training of the algorithms and rest 40% samples were taken as testing and validation of the machinelearning regressions algorithms. The highest sensitivity of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) with LAI was found using RFR algorithms (R2 = 0.884, RMSE = 0.404) as compared to SVR (R2 = 0.847, RMSE = 0.478) and ANNR (R2 = 0.829, RMSE = 0.404). Therefore, RFR algorithms can be used for accurate estimation of LAI for crops using satellite data.

Authors: Yazid N. M. , Din A. H. M. , Abdullah N. M. , Omar A. H.
Published: October 2019

Abstract. A dynamic datum denotes a coordinate datum in real-time linked with the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) in order to provide a dynamic ITRF-like datum to the users. The ITRF is dynamic and updating every few years as its stations’ coordinates consider the motion of earth’s tectonic plate and other deformations. This paper is an effort to review the implementation of dynamic geocentric datum techniques from a few countries. An overview of dynamic geocentric datum implements Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Uzbekistan, Israel and Brunei will be summarized to support the future application. Thus, a review consists of a type of datum; datum parameters, reference frame and epoch will be discussed and outlined. This initiative is the significance for the advancement of the future datum development.

Published: October 2019

Abstract. The state-of-the-art lightweight multispectral cameras are widely used for low altitude remote sensing, also can be exploited as a tool for close-range photogrammetry application. The acquired imagery can be used for generating the 3D model using Structure-from-Motion/ Multi-view Stereo (SfM/MVS) processing software. In photogrammetry, camera calibration is an essential step for accurate measurement. The parameter of the camera system can be estimated using photogrammetric self-calibration bundle-adjustment, or by automatic and straightforward calibration procedure developed by computer vision (CV) community. When using SfM/MVS photogrammetry software, the pre-calibration value is not required, as the algorithm calculates the parameter as a part of point cloud construction process. Nevertheless, processing with the uncalibrated image is only suitable when no metric accuracy required in the modelling project. This paper aims to evaluate the measurement accuracy on generated 3D point cloud based on different estimated parameter method. The evaluation of measurement accuracy started by estimates the camera’s interior parameter using two different approaches; photogrammetric self-calibration bundle-adjustment and computer vision calibration. The estimated parameter from both methods then imported into commercial SfM/MVS software to construct the 3D point cloud. The point cloud also generated using uncalibrated images and used for measurement accuracy assessment. All parameters applied to the same datasets involved three different check-fields. Two accuracy assessments were performed by comparing the check-points and check-distance extracted with the total station measurement. As a result, the point cloud generated using photogrammetric approach provides the most accurate result on both assessments. While the automatic on-the-job self-calibration shows inconsistent results.

Published: October 2019

Abstract. A major concern in groundwater exploration is to determine a precise location of the groundwater resources. The geospatial technology such as UAV mapping, precise GPS surveying and GIS data management could be integrated with other geospatial information to augment the groundwater exploration. The aim of this research project is to support groundwater exploration at UTM, Johor Bahru campus by employing the geospatial approach. In doing so, the aerial photo captured by using UAV and GPS will be utilised to support geology and geophysics data collection. Subsequently, subsurface information such as lithology, stratigraphy and geological structures have been used to form the subsurface profile. Afterward, development of the groundwater geospatial database had commenced by using a GIS approach. It is expected that by integration of geospatial technology in groundwater exploration works will help to identify the location of potential groundwater zone in the study area.

Authors: Zamzuri N. A. A. , Hassan M. I.
Published: October 2019

Abstract. Fish are the part of marine ecosystem and play an important role as contributors of nutrients and dependent on the ecosystem which is affected by the parameters to provide the right conditions for reproduction. Artificial reefs were being applied as an approach to sustain food security. Food security is a major concern for all countries in the face of population increase and diminishing water supplies including in the fisheries sector. Hence, artificial reefs become one of the methods to improve the preservation of fish supplies. Suitable environment for fish ground breeding area need to be identified in order to place the artificial reef. Therefore, this study is proposed to locate the potential fish ground breeding area in Terengganu, Malaysia based on localized criteria which is suitable to place the artificial reefs by examining the parameters in the area. Parameters that have been studied were water temperature, water salinity, water acidity, chlorophyll concentration and dissolve oxygen. Those parameters have their own criteria that represent the suitability for fish population. Localized data have been applied in order to analyse and support localized criteria for this study area. To locate the potential fish ground breeding area, Geographic Information System (GIS), Multi-criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA), Spatial Interpolation and Weighted Analysis have been applied. For MCDA, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) has been used to get the weightage of the parameters by running Pairwise Comparisons between the selected parameters using AHP software, Expert Choice. Then, those parameters weightage were applied in weighted analysis to identify the potential ground breeding area. At the end of this study, final map showing the location for fish ground breeding area. The final output resulted potential location for fish ground breeding area in four classes which are very high, high, medium and low potential area. This study may facilitate the decision makers to place the artificial reefs in potential area to increase fish population.
El concepto de tradición clásica y su permanencia en la poesía contemporánea española (de 1950 a la actualidad)
Authors: Álvarez Ramos Eva
Published: October 2019

El uso de motivos grecolatinos puede ser tomado como hilo conductor que nos guía –nuevo hilo de Ariadna– por el laberinto poético de las últimas décadas. Su importancia es tal que obliga a reflexionar sobre el concepto de clásico y su permanencia. Del mismo modo da pie a analizar cuáles son los modos acomodativos de la tradición grecolatina en las últimas décadas poéticas; cómo reinterpretan el sentido clásico y lo actualizan. Precisamente, tanto el mito como el acervo de los clásicos lo son por su capacidad de dar cauce a diferentes mensajes, amoldarse a diversas estéticas y no solo como adorno, sino como expresión propia.

A partir del cambio en la noción de autor que tiene lugar en la década de los sesenta del pasado siglo, este trabajo aborda el conflicto que surge al tratar de comprender desde esta perspectiva la idea de autor en las poéticas explícitas, un género que tradicionalmente se funda en la estrecha identificación entre autor textual y autor biográfico. Se cuestiona la idea de un autor previo al texto y se explora la construcción de la figura de autor, mostrando todas sus complejidades.
Tres escritores frente al "Quijote": Javier Marías, Vladimir Nabokov y Thomas Mann
Authors: Orduña Labra Mónica
Published: October 2019

Las notas utilizadas por Javier Marías para preparar sus clases acerca del Quijote son el inicio de este artículo que compara su lectura con la de otros dos escritores: Vladimir Nabokov y Thomas Mann. Estas publicaciones cervantinas de estos tres autores proporcionan un material muy valioso para la crítica literaria porque demuestran que el interés por una determinada cultura modifica considerablemente el punto de vista desde el que se analiza sus distintos hechos literarios. Por el contrario, una obra perteneciente a otro horizonte literario puede desencadenar una postura desdeñosa o despertar un aprecio superlativo.
El reflejo de Alejandro Sawa en los personajes bohemios barojianos
Authors: Santiago Nogales Rocío
Published: October 2019

Mucho anteriores a Rafael Villasús o al famoso Max Estrella valleinclanesco son otros personajes bohemios que Pío Baroja creó para sus novelas como contraposición a sus protagonistas. El escritor vasco no simpatizaba con un tipo de vida que se ejemplificaba en Alejandro Sawa, de tal modo que los estudiosos han querido ver tras esos personajes al propio escritor sevillano, pero sin profundizar en un exhaustivo análisis comparativo entre realidad y ficción. Este estudio pretende justificar tanto las posibles asociaciones como dar motivos para rechazar otras.

En este artículo se analizan los procesos de transculturación y conformación de identidades en la emblemática política de la Primer nueva corónica y buen gobierno de Guamán Poma de Ayala (ca. 1616). Entendida como un acto dialógico pluricultural entre las visiones cosmológicas andinas y los nuevos sistemas de codificación cultural europeos, el trabajo estudia la emblemática pomiana en torno a la educación colonial, la enseñanza del español y el indio ladino, a partir de las relaciones establecidas entre espacio, icono y símbolo.
“Clarín” cosmopolita frente a la literatura americana: erudición, nacionalismo y tensiones críticas en la defensa del canon español
Authors: Saba Mariano
Published: October 2019

Dentro del campo intelectual español del siglo XIX, Leopoldo Alas “Clarín” ocupó el rol privilegiado de crítico de actualidad capaz de organizar el canon deseable de la literatura moderna de su patria. Sin embargo, ante la crisis finisecular y la pérdida de las últimas colonias, diferentes zonas de la praxis clariniana revelan familiaridades notables con la erudición más conservadora. Desde la reivindicación del canon del Siglo de Oro a la reacción contra los modernismos americanos, Clarín exhibe un nacionalismo pocas veces estudiado para la comprensión cabal de su producción crítica.
An analysis of the sessile, structure-forming invertebrates living on California oil and gas platforms
Authors: Love Milton S , Nishimoto Mary M , Snook Linda , Kui Li
Published: October 2019

Using video transects of oil and gas platform crossbeams off central and southern California, we characterized the structure-forming invertebrates (with a height of at least 20 cm) found around 23 oil and gas platforms at depths between 20 and 363 m. We observed 20,357 individual invertebrates,
comprising 19,800 Cnidaria and 557 Porifera of at least 15 species or species groups. Metridium farcimen (Brandt, 1835) was by far the most commonly observed cnidarian, forming 97.6% of all invertebrates catalogued. The alcyonacean, Leptogorgia chilensis (Verrill, 1868), and
the scleractinian, Lophelia pertusa (Linnaeus, 1758), were the most commonly observed corals. White vase sponges (most or all in the family Aphrocallistidae) were the most abundant of the sponges (comprising 38.4% observed). We also documented a variety of unidentified foliose, barrel,
and other various-shaped sponges. The height of these invertebrates ranged from 20 to 80 cm. Taxa displayed a variety of depth patterns. Some, such as M. farcimen, unidentified white vase sponges, and L. pertusa, were found throughout most or all of the survey depth range, while
others (notably the gorgonians L. chilensis, Placogorgia spp., and Acanthogorgia spp.) were found over a relatively narrow range. Invertebrate assemblages tended to be similar among many platforms reflecting species similarities over a broad range of platform depths. Based
on these relationships, it is apparent that the assemblages of structure-forming invertebrates varied by depth rather than geography.
Decommissioning impacts on biotic assemblages associated with shell mounds beneath southern California offshore oil and gas platforms
Authors: Meyer-Gutbrod Erin L , Love Milton S , Claisse Jeremy T , Page Henry M , Schroeder Donna M , Miller Robert J
Published: October 2019

The decommissioning of southern California offshore oil and gas platforms will create major economic, engineering, and environmental challenges in the next decade. Platform jackets, conductors, and shell mounds often host a diverse and productive marine community, and among the myriad
considerations associated with decommissioning planning, platform operators and federal and state regulatory agencies will consider the ecological value of existing underwater structures as artificial reefs. In the event of partial removal of platform structure, fish assemblages on decommissioned
platforms may remain unchanged in areas where structure is left intact. However, on the seafloor beneath the platforms, a mound of debris often called the shell mound will likely change over time if the supply of falling mussels and other organisms from the productive surface part of the structure
is removed. In this study, we review shell mound research relevant to decommissioning, including mound formation, contaminant loads, associated biological communities, and transitions following the removal of platform structures at four sites. To address the gap in knowledge of shell mound
fish community structure, we used manned submersible and remotely operated vehicle surveys from 1997 to 2013 to estimate the biomass, density, species composition and similarity between shell mounds at 22 southern California platforms. We found a wide range of variability in fish density and
shell mound areal extent. Species composition also varied among sites, with three significant community clusters primarily distinguished by species depth preferences. These results will help inform a comprehensive net environmental benefit analysis of southern California offshore platform
decommissioning alternatives.
Fishes and invertebrates of oil and gas platforms off California: an introduction and summary
Authors: Love Milton S
Published: October 2019

This paper serves as an introduction to a symposium on the role that California oil and gas platforms serve as habitats for fishes and invertebrates. As of 2019, there are 27 platforms in state and federal waters off California, and the decommissioning of some of these platforms is
imminent. Thus, consideration of whether to completely remove a platform or cut it off at some depth below the sea surface and retain the submerged portion as a reef is a decision that will occur in the near future. The objectives of the 10 papers in this dedicated issue of the Bulletin
of Marine Science are to: (1) increase scientific understanding of the inter- and intrarelationships of fish and invertebrate populations at offshore oil and gas platforms and natural reefs within the Southern California Bight; (2) determine the extent of influence of platform assemblages
on southern California and the Pacific coast populations of fishes and invertebrates; and (3) synthesize relevant reports, existing peer-reviewed literature, and new data analyses into a single peer-reviewed reference. This introductory paper contains a synopsis of all extant California platforms
including information on: (1) the original operator, (2) the current operator of records, (3) the date the platform was installed, (4) the first production date, (5) the platform's distance from shore [including whether it is state or outer continental shelf (OCS) waters], (6) the bottom depth
of the platform, (7) the number of well slots, (8) the number of conductors, (9) what the platform produces (oil and/or gas), (10) the platform jacket dimensions [generally at the seafloor (bottom)], (11) the platform's footprint, (12) the midwater surface area, (13) the total removal weight,
(14) the platform location, (15) the shell mound size, (16) the shell mound volume, (17) the shell mound height, (18) the center of the shell mound location, and (19) the bottom slope. In addition, we present an overview of all previous research on the biology and ecology of California platform
organisms.

Proceso de acidificación de las precipitaciones de Managua
Authors: Barberena Moncada Javier Antonio , Hurtado García Iris Lisseth
Published: October 2019

El objetivo principal de la investigación es determinar el origen del acidez de las precipitaciones que inciden en la ciudad de Managua. Analizando diversos componentes tanto físicos, químicos como movimientos atmosféricos que estarían incidiendo en las características del agua que precipita. Para esto se realizaron monitoreo de cinco estaciones distribuidas en la ciudad, se lograron analizar el pH de 105 eventos de precipitación, y análisis de iones Ca2+, Na+, Mg2+, NH4-, Fe+3, NO3-, SO42-, HCO3- para el mes de octubre 2018. Los valores de pH que predominaron fueron inferiores a 5.6, valor tomado como equilibrio para acidez de agua de lluvia, el carácter ácido predomino en 51% de los eventos, con valor medio de 4.67, máximos de 5.59 y mínimo de 3.13. No hay evidencia que la acidez de las precipitaciones esté influenciada por movimiento atmosférico, como tampoco por la intensidad de los eventos. Los principales iones que predominan son Ca2+>Na+, Ca2+>Mg2+, Mg2+>Ca2+, Cl-> SO42, SO42->Cl-. Los análisis de correlación de Pearson y análisis de componentes principales nos indican que las lluvias ácidas son fuerte influenciadas por fuentes de contaminación antropogénica relacionadas por la quema de combustibles fósiles. Se concluye que los componentes contaminantes están prevaleciendo sobre los iones con capacidad neutralizante como es Ca2-, así también la presencia del ion SO42- indica que es producto de la oxidación de ácidos producto de la flotabilidad de contenientes emitidos por fuentes difusas y puntuales propios de las actividades de las ciudades en todo el mundo.
Metallogeny of the Tethyan Orogenic Belt: From Mesozoic Magmatic Arcs to Cenozoic Back-Arc and Postcollisional Settings in Southeast Europe, Anatolia, and the Lesser Caucasus: An Introduction
Authors: Moritz Robert , Baker Timothy
Published: October 2019

Introduction

The Tethyan mountain ranges stretch from northwestern Africa and western Europe to the southwest Pacific Ocean and constitute the longest continuous orogenic belt on Earth. It is an extremely fertile metallogenic belt, which includes a wide diversity of ore deposit types formed in very different geodynamic settings, which are the source of a wide range of commodities mined for the benefit of society (Janković, 1977, 1997; Richards, 2015, 2016).

There are other ore deposit types in this segment of the Tethyan metallogenic belt that are not covered in this special issue, such as bauxite and Ni laterite deposits (Herrington et al., 2016), ophiolite-related chromite deposits (Çiftçi et al., 2019), sedimentary exhalative and Mississippi Valley-type deposits (Palinkaš et al., 2008; Hanilçi et al., 2019), or deposits related to surficial brine processes (Helvacı, 2019).

Published: October 2019

The aim of this study was to determine the accelerated weathering and decay resistance of the heattreated wood reinforced polypropylene composites (HT-WPC). Polypropylene (PP) was used as a matrix and the heat-treated wood treated at 180 °C and 220 °C as reinforcement filler. The effect of three filler type, such as 40, 60 and 100 mesh, on the outdoor performance of composites was also investigated. The composites were prepared with twin screw extruder, and the test samples were obtained with compression molding. Lightness index (L*), color changes (ΔE*) and physical changes on the surface of the composites after the accelerated weathering, and decay resistance of the composites were investigated. According to the results, the effects of heat-treated wood on color changes were found to be more than its filler size, and while the filler loadings were increased from 5 % to 20 %, it was determined to increase the color changes of the composites. In scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, crack formation and deterioration on the surface of the composites were determined. In FTIR spectra, no difference was determined between the composites, and all peaks were similar to each one. The addition of heattreated wood improved the antifungal efficiency of the composite, and the mass losses decreased with the increasing of heat treatment temperature. As a result, adding heat-treated wood to PP was found to improve the outdoor performance of the HT-WPCs.
SELF REPORTED INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES IN INNER SPEECH (INTERNAL MONOLOGUE AND DIALOGUE) IN ADOLESCENTS WITH SOCIAL (PRAGMATIC) COMMUNICATION DISORDER (SCD)
Authors: Siedler Agnieszka , Gałkowski Tadeusz , Pąchalska Maria
Published: October 2019

The aim of the study was to assess self-reported individual differences in the use of the inner speech of adolescents with Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder (SCD) and in particular to answer the questions: Do adolescent with SCD have inner speech and what is the direction of this speech? Is this a monologue and internal dialogue, i.e., do they speak to themselves (internal monologue) or to other people (internal dialogue)?

We tested 22 adolescents with SCD, diagnosed according to the DSM-5 criterion. The average age was 16.48 years, SD = 2.71. The youngest patient was 12 years old and the oldest was 19 years old. The modified version of the Puchalska-Wasyl Scale of Inner Speech was used for the study. The questionnaire was tailored to the capabilities of the persons with SCD and included questions about the occurrence of internal speech and the direction of this speech, that is, internal conversations to yourself (internal monologue) or to other people (internal dialogue). The patients participating in the experiment were informed in detail about the whole procedure and they or their parents, if they were under age, provided written consent for their participation in the experiment (according to the guidelines of the Helsinki Declaration, 2008).

Statistical analysis showed that in adolescents with SCD there is a statistically significant relationship in the frequency of the monologue and internal dialogue. Persons who declared a more frequent occurrence of internal dialogue also declared more frequent occurrences of internal monologue, which means that they had the general ability for inner speech. A comparison of the direction of inner speech, that is the internal monologue and internal dialogue has shown that during inner speech they more often use internal dialogue than internal monologue.

It was found that in adolescents with SCD, inner speech is present, and it manifests itself in the form of an internal monologue and internal dialogue. However, far more often do they use internal dialogue than internal monologue.

Published: October 2019

The aim of the study was to evaluate the microscopic structure of the bladder wall in children with a neurogenic bladder to find a correlation between changes in the microscopic structure of the bladder wall and functional disorders. The study group consisted of 42 children who underwent bladder augmentation. Full-thickness fragments of the bladder wall were collected during operation, photographed for evaluation with a morphometric analysis. The proportion of muscle and connective tissue was determined. Results were correlated with the results of urodynamic tests. The analysis showed a progressive increase in connective/muscle tissue ratio with a decrease in the number of nerve trunks with a correlation between the connective/muscle tissue ratio and the deterioration of lower urinary tract in urodynamic investigations. Dysfunctions of the bladder are associated with histological abnormalities of the bladder wall, particularly increases in the amount of connective tissue and reduction of the number of nerve trunks. The increase in the percentage of the connective tissue correlates positively with deterioration of bladder function, reduced compliance of the bladder wall, and changes in the structure of the bladder wall and deterioration of the upper urinary tract.
Catholic Hylomorphism, Disembodied Consciousness, and Temporary Bodies
Authors: Potts Michael ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2019

This paper considers the possibility of a disembodied conscious soul, arguing that a great deal of current research converges in a direction that denies the possibility of a bodiless consciousness for human beings. Contemporary attacks on Cartesianism also serve as attacks on the view of some hylomorphist Catholics, such as Thomas Aquinas, that there can be a disembodied consciousness between death and resurrection, a view that violates the Catechism of the Catholic Church. However, there may be a way out for the Catholic hylomorphist which was suggested by Dante—the possibility of a temporary body. The first section of the paper will summarize the contemporary attack against both the Cartesian soul and physicalist systems that reduce the mind to the brain. The alternative position proposed is that the human being is a psychosomatic unity at the level of the organism as a whole, and that both mind-body and brain-body dualism should be avoided. Such a position, I will argue, supports the notion that a disembodied soul, including a disembodied consciousness, is not possible for human beings. Finally, I will discuss Dante’s views on temporary bodies and explore three ways of understanding a temporary body, any of which can preserve a conscious intermediate state between death and resurrection.

A inovação no contexto das empresas: uma abordagem estratégica
Authors: Rodrigues Manoel Gonçalves , Costa Fernando José Pereira da
Published: October 2019

Este artigo tem por objetivo abordar a questão da inovação no contexto das empresas/organizações, no âmbito da estratégia, na qual ganha relevo a administração estratégica. Essa, por seu lado, confere maior dinamismo/flexibilidade ao processo estratégico, superando a relativa inércia de muitas operacionalizações do planejamento estratégico. Desse modo, a questão da inovação, quer ou não de índole tecnológica, no concerto das empresas/organizações, deve assumir notório carácter estratégico.

A captura de Salminus brasiliensis (Cuvier, 1816) no Pantanal está proibida desde 2012 com o intuito de preservação da espécie, considerando que esta medida proporcione o reestabelecimento do seu nível populacional. O Pantanal é considerado um ambiente propício para a manutenção ictiofauna, sendo composto por diferentes fitofisionomias e riqueza de habitat, o que pode promover uma efetiva recuperação da espécie, principalmente em áreas de alto grau de preservação, como é o caso de Estações Ecológicas. Assim, este estudo analisou a dinâmica reprodutiva de S. brasiliensis, popularmente conhecido como dourado, entre os anos de 2004 a 2017, coletados na Estação Ecológica de Taiamã e rio Sepotuba no estado de Mato Grosso, analisando 123 espécimes (74 fêmeas e 49 machos). O maior número de machos e fêmeas estão contidos nos intervalos de classes de 57,05 a 62,66 e 62,66 a 68,27 cm, respectivamente. Estes resultados indicam que os espécimes coletados nessa região possuem comprimento total maiores do que os citados na literatura. Já a reprodução da espécie está de acordo com outros estudos, em que o período de atividade reprodutiva ocorre entre a estiagem e enchente, cessando durante o período de águas altas. Embora o período reprodutivo esteja de acordo com outros estudos, ele difere daquele estabelecido pela lei estadual de Mato Grosso, por exemplo, o que pode implicar nas tomadas de decisão para a espécie estudada. As condições desta espécie no ambiente pantaneiro refletem a qualidade ambiental do sistema, apontando para a importância de pesquisas nessa área considerando a elaboração e implementação de políticas públicas e uso sustentável dos recursos naturais, bem como a valoração das áreas de proteção como repositório da ictiofauna.

A ação antrópica sobre o solo comumente resulta em degradação desse recurso natural, em grande parte devido às práticas agrícolas inadequadas. Portanto, torna-se imprescindível a adoção de alternativas mitigadoras da degradação do solo, haja vista sua estreita relação com o manejo utilizado. Nesse contexto, objetivou-se avaliar a qualidade de um Latossolo Amarelo Distrófico de textura franca-arenosa, cultivado com soja sob plantio convencional (S_PC) e direto (S­_SPD) no Cerrado (Savana) da região Oeste da Bahia, Brasil. Para a avaliação foram utilizados como indicadores da qualidade do solo a argila dispersa em água (ADA), o grau de floculação (GF), o grau de dispersão (GD), o carbono orgânico total (COT), o carbono da biomassa microbiana do solo (C-MBS) e o quociente microbiano (qMic). O estudo foi desenvolvido em experimento conduzido na estação Experimental da Fundação de Apoio à Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento do Oeste Baiano, município de Luís Eduardo Magalhães, Bahia, Brasil. Os tratamentos consistiram em parcelas de soja cultivadas sob plantio convencional e direto. Como referência, amostras de solo foram coletadas em uma área de Cerrado nativo (CN) de fitofisionomia campo sujo, adjacente à área experimental. A tratamento S_PC promoveu aumento nos valores de ADA e o GD do solo, enquanto os valores do GF, COT BMS e qMIC foram reduzidos. Em contraste, no S_SPD, os teores de ADA e o GD do solo foram reduzidos, enquanto o GF, o COT, a BMS e o qMic foram promovidos, evidenciando a capacidade e importância do SPD em favorecer a qualidade do solo. O GF do solo relaciona-se positivamente com o COT, que é reduzido sob plantio convencional, evidenciando a importância do sistema plantio direto, como sistema capaz de promover a floculação, a biologia e a qualidade do solo.

O Brasil, é o maior produtor e, também, o maior consumidor mundial de maracujá. Com esta demanda e oferta da fruta a agricultura familiar tem na cadeia produtiva do maracujá-azedo um grande potencial para gerar renda e segurança social.  A cultura do maracujá no Brasil é favorecida pelo clima tropical e subtropical com luminosidade, volumes hídricos ideais, condições climáticas e variedades mais resistentes. Estas condições proporcionam maior longevidade às plantas, que produzem em média três safras ao ano por até três anos consecutivos. O cultivo desta fruta representa uma alternativa viável de atividade para agricultura familiar, por gerar receita mais rápida devido aos períodos maiores de safra, com comercialização e capitalização a curto prazo.  Porém, o processo comercial é um desafio para este segmento, já que o agricultor precisa ter habilidades e tempo para desenvolver atividades que vão além do trato da cultura. Eles precisam realizar trabalhos que abrangem administração de custos, captação de recursos, viabilização de insumos, embalagem, armazenamento do produto e o escoamento junto ao comércio, representado por intermediários, mercados varejistas, clientes finais, associações e cooperativas. Diante do exposto, investigamos a produção e comercialização do maracujá-azedo no município de Tangará da Serra/MT, envolvendo 20 produtores locais e 38 comércios varejistas. Abordamos a relação do produtor com seu plantio tendo a polinização como fator produtivo da frutífera, observando as principais fragilidades e oportunidades, considerando que esta cultura já ocupou importante espaço junto à agricultura familiar local.

Na agricultura atual, a busca por estratégias de manejo integrado de doenças deve ser uma busca constante, visando a máxima eficiência produtiva, o menor custos de produção e redução de possíveis impactos ambientais e humanos. Nesse sentido, tem-se buscado por métodos alternativos, que sejam diferentes do controle químico com nematicidas a fim de atender aos princípios que norteiam o manejo integrado.  Objetivou-se avaliar a incorporação de folhas de Copaifera sp. e Vismia guianensis, para se determinar seu potencial biofumigante-nematicida contra o nematoides-das-galhas do cafeeiro (Meloidogyne incognita). Os materiais foram divididas em material vegetal seco (60º C por 72 horas) e fresco. Esta incorporação foi feita proporção de 62,5 gramas de material vegetal por litro de solo, aos 15 dias e um dia antes do plantio das mudas de cafeeiro. Foram utilizados como testemunha o nematicida Carbofuran (20 mL/litro), e tratamentos sem material vegetal, com e sem inoculação, com seis repetições. Após a ANOVA e teste de média de Scott Knott a 5%, observou-se que, para o número de galhas por grama de raízes destacou o tratamento Copaifera sp. seca e incorporada 15 dias antes em comparação ao nematicida, e para fator de reprodução e número de ovos/grama de raízes se destacou o Vismia guianensis 15 seca e incorporada 15 dias antes em comparação ao carbofuran. Entretanto, observa-se que em todos os casos avaliados com o uso de material incorporado seco ou fresco, houve algum efeito deletério sobre o crescimento das mudas, tanto no sistema radicular quanto na parte aérea das plantas, quando comparados à testemunha não tratada, embora somente no caso de Vismia houve diferença significativa quando comparadas ao controle. Os resultados apresentados demonstram que é possível inibir o patógeno pela incorporação de folhas secas e trituradas de Vismia guianensis no substrato para mudas de cafeeiro, preferencialmente 15 dias antes do plantio.
