Quantifying new water fractions and transit time distributions using ensemble hydrograph separation: theory and benchmark tests
Authors: Kirchner James W.
Published: January 2019

Abstract. Decades of hydrograph separation studies have estimated the proportions of
recent precipitation in streamflow using end-member mixing of chemical or
isotopic tracers. Here I propose an ensemble approach to hydrograph
separation that uses regressions between tracer fluctuations in precipitation
and discharge to estimate the average fraction of new water (e.g., same-day
or same-week precipitation) in streamflow across an ensemble of time steps.
The points comprising this ensemble can be selected to isolate conditions of
particular interest, making it possible to study how the new water fraction
varies as a function of catchment and storm characteristics. Even when new
water fractions are highly variable over time, one can show mathematically
(and confirm with benchmark tests) that ensemble hydrograph separation will
accurately estimate their average. Because ensemble hydrograph separation is
based on correlations between tracer fluctuations rather than on tracer mass
balances, it does not require that the end-member signatures are constant
over time, or that all the end-members are sampled or even known, and it is
relatively unaffected by evaporative isotopic fractionation. Ensemble hydrograph separation can also be extended to a multiple regression
that estimates the average (or “marginal”) transit time distribution (TTD)
directly from observational data. This approach can estimate both
“backward” transit time distributions (the fraction of streamflow that originated as
rainfall at different lag times) and “forward” transit time distributions
(the fraction of rainfall that will become future streamflow at different
lag times), with and without volume-weighting, up to a user-determined
maximum time lag. The approach makes no assumption about the shapes of the
transit time distributions, nor does it assume that they are time-invariant,
and it does not require continuous time series of tracer measurements.
Benchmark tests with a nonlinear, nonstationary catchment model confirm that
ensemble hydrograph separation reliably quantifies both new water fractions
and transit time distributions across widely varying catchment behaviors,
using either daily or weekly tracer concentrations as input. Numerical
experiments with the benchmark model also illustrate how ensemble hydrograph
separation can be used to quantify the effects of rainfall intensity, flow
regime, and antecedent wetness on new water fractions and transit time
distributions.
Tectono-thermal evolution of Oman's Mesozoic passive continental margin under the obducting Semail Ophiolite: a case study of Jebel Akhdar, Oman
Authors: Grobe Arne , von Hagke Christoph , Littke Ralf , Dunkl István , Wübbeler Franziska , Muchez Philippe , Urai Janos L.
Published: January 2019

Abstract. We present a study of pressure and temperature evolution in the passive
continental margin under the Oman Ophiolite using numerical basin models
calibrated with thermal maturity data, fluid-inclusion thermometry, and
low-temperature thermochronometry and building on the results of recent work
on the tectonic evolution. Because the Oman mountains experienced only weak
post-obduction overprint, they offer a unique natural laboratory for this
study. Thermal maturity data from the Adam Foothills constrain burial in the basin
in front of the advancing nappes to at least 4 km. Peak temperature
evolution in the carbonate platform under the ophiolite depends on the
burial depth and only weakly on the temperature of the overriding nappes,
which have cooled during transport from the oceanic subduction zone to
emplacement. Fluid-inclusion thermometry yields pressure-corrected
homogenization temperatures of 225 to 266 ∘C for veins formed
during progressive burial, 296–364 ∘C for veins related to peak
burial, and 184 to 213 ∘C for veins associated with late-stage
strike-slip faulting. In contrast, the overlying Hawasina nappes have not
been heated above 130–170 ∘C, as witnessed by only partial
resetting of the zircon (U-Th)/He thermochronometer. In combination with independently determined temperatures from solid bitumen
reflectance, we infer that the fluid inclusions of peak-burial-related veins
formed at minimum pressures of 225–285 MPa. This implies that the rocks of
the future Jebel Akhdar Dome were buried under 8–10 km of ophiolite on top
of 2 km of sedimentary nappes, in agreement with thermal maturity data
from
solid bitumen reflectance and Raman spectroscopy. Rapid burial of the passive margin under the ophiolite results in
sub-lithostatic pore pressures, as indicated by veins formed in dilatant
fractures in the carbonates. We infer that overpressure is induced by rapid
burial under the ophiolite. Tilting of the carbonate platform in combination
with overpressure in the passive margin caused fluid migration towards the
south in front of the advancing nappes. Exhumation of the Jebel Akhdar, as indicated by our zircon (U-Th)/He data and
in agreement with existing work on the tectonic evolution, started as early
as the Late Cretaceous to early Cenozoic, linked with extension above a
major listric shear zone with top-to-NNE shear sense. In a second exhumation
phase the carbonate platform and obducted nappes of the Jebel Akhdar Dome
cooled together below ca. 170 ∘C between 50 and 40 Ma before the
final stage of anticline formation.
The role of debris cover in the evolution of Zmuttgletscher, Switzerland, since the end of the Little Ice Age
Authors: Mölg Nico , Bolch Tobias , Walter Andrea , Vieli Andreas
Published: January 2019

Abstract. Debris-covered glaciers often exhibit large, flat tongues. Many of these glaciers show high thinning rates today despite thick debris cover. Due to lack of observations, most existing studies have neglected the dynamic interaction between debris cover and glacier evolution over longer time periods. The main aim of this study is to reveal this interaction by reconstructing changes of debris cover, glacier geometry, flow velocities, and surface features of Zmuttgletscher (Switzerland), based on historic maps, satellite images, aerial photographs, and field observations. We show that debris cover extent has increased from ~ 13 % to > 32 % of the total glacier surface since 1859 and that the debris is sufficiently thick to reduce ablation compared to bare ice over much of the ablation area. Despite the debris cover the volume loss of Zmuttgletscher is comparable to that of debris-free glaciers located in similar settings whereas changes in length and area have been small in comparison. Increased ice mass input in the 1970s and 1980s resulted in a temporary velocity increase, as well as a lowering of the upper margin of debris cover and exposed-ice area, and a reduction of ice cliffs. Since ~ 2001, the lowest ~ 1.5 km are stagnant despite a slight increase in surface slope of the glacier tongue. We conclude that the debris cover governs the pattern of volume loss without changing its magnitude, which is due to the large ablation area and strong thinning in regions with thin debris further up-glacier and in the regions of meltwater channels and ice cliffs. At the same time rising temperatures lead to increasing debris cover and decreasing glacier dynamics, thereby slowing down length and area losses.

The emergence of food policy: beyond the drawing board’

To address a range of interconnected food-related challenges, Dutch policymakers have invested in the development of integrated food policy in recent years. This article discusses this development in two parts. The first part contains a detailed description of the main events and lines of thinking that characterized the food policy process. From this description it becomes clear that food policy has been gradually developing towards a separate institutionalized policy domain. In the second part, this development is analysed from a policy integration perspective. This analysis shows that although considerable steps towards strengthened policy integration have been made, the Dutch ‘Food agenda’ does not yet proceed beyond symbolic levels. This particularly shows in the absence of concrete policy goals and in a policy instrument mix that has not been adjusted to strengthen consistency and effectiveness. In addition, the involvement of relevant ministries gradually decreased after the initial stages. The article concludes that the food policy process has arrived at a critical juncture: the next steps of the new government will prove decisive for whether food policy integration intentions will advance beyond the drawing board. Political and administrative leadership are identified as key conditions for such further steps to occur.

Wie zorgt er voor de samenleving?
Authors: Peeters Piet-Hein
Published: January 2019

But who takes care of society?

The most relevant part of a discussion is not what is discussed but what cannot be spoken of. The real taboos are those for which it is taboo to call them taboos. The status quo defines itself as non-ideological while denouncing any challenge to itself as radical. Therefore the column ‘De Blinde Vlek’ frames the framers, politicizes the status quo and articulates what is not heard of.

Islamic schools and indoctrination

Islamic schools are often criticized for indoctrinating children, which would violate the goals of education in a democratic society. This article explores whether, as a matter of principle, parents could legitimately choose to send their child to a school where he or she will be indoctrinated, for example because they believe that at a religious schools the opportunities for a child to be stigmatized are smaller. Besides, the article investigates whether it is plausible that children in Islamic school in the Netherlands are indeed being indoctrinated.
De enige shariarechtbank in Europa

The only Sharia court in Europe

When we consider a ‘court’ a judicial institution recognized by the state that renders judgment based on law recognized by the state, then the only ‘sharia courts’ to be found in Europe are located in the eastern province of Greece. Their jurisdiction is limited to Islamic family law, but a recent case before the European Court of Human Rights has rekindled the discussion on the scope of this jurisdiction, and opened the discussion on the desirability of such courts in a European country. This article presents an analysis of this discussion, based on literature study and fieldwork in the region.

Authors: Gorazdowski Maciej
Published: January 2019

The article describes Polish, Czech and Lithuanian regulations on secret ballot, with a particular emphasis on the functionality and technical aspects of its execution. The two main methods of voting subjected to research are voting at polling station and postal voting, with some references to other alternative voting methods (proxy voting, mobile polling station, mobile ballot box) as well. Statutory provisions are at some point confronted with the views of legal doctrine and international regulations on the matter. Appearing across the whole work are considerations on the legal status of the secret ballot rule for individuals, whether it is an obligation or a right. The part devoted to Polish law also contains a commentary on changes to Polish Electoral Code in force from years 2016–2018.
Transpozycja zasady non-refoulement do polskiego systemu ochrony uchodźców
Authors: Grześkowiak Maciej
Published: January 2019

The paper aims at examining the influence of international legislations on the scope and content of the non-refoulement principle as articulated in the Polish law. Its shape on the Polish national ground is in fact a sum of influences stemming from external law systems. The article is based on the determination of three major sources of the refugee law that shape the content of the principle: public international law, European Union law and Polish national law. The Author first scrutinises the scope and content of the principle as laid down in crucial legislations belonging to these three sources which later enables their comparison and examination of the impact they make on one another in terms of conceptualisation of the principle of non-refoulement. The EU law reflects and specifies mechanisms established in the public international law which are further specified on a national ground. The final product is a national structure of the principle which is far more specific than the one known from the 1951 Refugee Convention that first stipulated it. The Author concludes with pointing at flaws and inaccuracies in a national articulation of the principle.
Tax autonomy and non-discrimination rules in the era of conflicting political goals: international and Polish perspective
Authors: Tychmańska Aleksandra
Published: January 2019

The aim of this paper is to discuss non-discrimination rules concerning tax matters on the example of Polish case analysis. Author wishes to conduct research work in broader context. In this regard it is necessary to outline the current globalized world in which tax systems of states operate, discuss the concept of state’s tax autonomy and examine how the role of a state on tax matters has recently changed. Subsequently the non-discrimination rules from an international perspective shall be presented. It is also important to answer the question about the impact of those rules on state’s tax autonomy and about the role which they could play in reconciling political goals in the current globalized world. All of this contexts enables to examine non-discrimination rules from Polish perspective. Author introduces all of non-discrimination rules concerning taxation in Polish legal order, accordingly presents and studies Polish case law regarding those rules. Finally, overall conclusions of the research work are introduced which are intended to discuss the role, significance and the future of non-discrimination rules in contemporary globalized world, both from international and Polish perspective.

Competencias básicas y procesos perceptivos: factores claves en la formación y orientación de los jóvenes en riesgo de exclusión educativa y sociolaboral
Authors: Olmos Rueda Patricia
Published: January 2019

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo el estudio del perfil competencial de 228 jóvenes en situación de fracaso escolar participantes en 18 programas de formación inicial para el trabajo en 7 municipios del área metropolitana de Barcelona, a partir del análisis del autoconcepto y de la percepción que éstos poseen de su nivel de dominio de las competencias básicas y de la percepción que otros (16 tutores de formación y 9 agentes empresariales) tienen al respecto. Los resultados obtenidos de la aplicación de instrumentos como cuestionarios y entrevistas anticipan diferentes percepciones del nivel de dominio de las competencias analizadas, pero que evidencian una tendencia positiva respecto al autoconcepto y percepción de las mismas, y orientan un modelo interrelacionado de competencias a partir del cual articular propuestas de mejora en los procesos de formación profesional inicial orientados a la reinserción educativa y sociolaboral de estos jóvenes en situación de exclusión educativo-sociolaboral.

This research suggests improvements in guidance processes and initial vocational training of young people between 15-21 years old that are at risk of educational, social and labour exclusion, drawing on the needs emanating from the findings. The present study is based on a comparative analysis of the self-perception of the mastery of key competencies of 228 young people involved in 18 training programmes in the surrounding area of Barcelona, Spain, and others’ perceptions on the matter (16 tutors and 9 entrepreneurs). The results show differences between the perceptions of the two groups of participants. Based on the findings, an interrelated model of key skills was designed. In this model, linguistic competence, learning to learn competence, social-citizenship competence and labour competence become the axis that articulate the connections between competencies. Likewise, this model sets training guidelines within these training programmes.

Published: January 2019

El ajuste escolar es un factor prioritario a considerar para comprender y dar una respuesta psicoeducativa a los crecientes problemas de fracaso escolar, absentismo y convivencia en las aulas. Por su parte, el autoconcepto juega un papel decisivo en el ajuste del alumnado. Los objetivos de este estudio son analizar la relación entre las dimensiones académica y global del autoconcepto y las escalas del ajuste escolar; examinar las diferencias en el ajuste escolar, así como en el autoconcepto académico y global, según el sexo y la edad del alumnado; y comprobar la capacidad explicativa del dominio académico y global del autoconcepto sobre el ajuste escolar. En el estudio participan 1468 estudiantes entre 12 y 17 años (M= 14.03; D.T.= 1.36), 51% mujeres y 49% hombres. Se emplean la Escala Breve de Ajuste Escolar –EBAE– y el Cuestionario de Autoconcepto Dimensional –AUDIM–. El autoconcepto mantiene relaciones significativas con el ajuste escolar. Por otra parte, las mujeres informan de un mayor ajuste escolar y autoconcepto académico verbal, mientras que los hombres perciben un mayor autoconcepto académico matemático y global. Además, el autoconcepto y el ajuste escolar son mayores en la adolescencia temprana que en la adolescencia media. Por último, el autoconcepto académico y global tienen una capacidad predictiva grande-moderada sobre las dimensiones del ajuste escolar, siendo destacable la influencia del autoconcepto académico sobre el rendimiento escolar.

School Adjustment is considered to be an outstanding factor in order to understand and give a pshycoeducational response to the growing problems of academic failure, truancy and cohabitation in the classroom. Self-concept has likewise an essential role in students’adjustment. The aims of this study are to analyse the relationship among Academic and Global dimensions of Self-concept and School Adjustment’s scales; to examine the differences in School Adjustment, as well as in Academic and Global Self-concept, according to the students’gender and age; and to check predictive ability of Academic and Global Self-concept on School Adjustment. 1468 students participated in this studybetween 11 and 17 years of age (M=14.03; SD= 1.36), 51% women and 49% men. The Brief Scale of School Adjustment (EBAE) and the Multidimensional Self-Concept Questionnaire (AUDIM) were implemented. The School Adjustment keeps significant relationships with the Self-concept. Furthermore, women have been considered to have a larger School Adjustment and Academic Self-concept in oral skills, while men perceive better the Mathematic and Global Self-concept. Besides, the Self-concept and the School Adjustment are larger in the early adolescence than in the middle adolescence. Finally, the Academic and Global Self-concept have a high and moderate predictive ability about the School Adjustment’s dimensions, and the Academic Self-concept a remarkable influence regarding the academic achievement.
Evaluación de la eficacia de un programa de tutoría formativa
Authors: Clerici Renata , Da Re Lorenza
Published: January 2019

La tutoría universitaria es un proceso central en el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES), en sus distintas modalidades y con sus distintas estrategias. Actualmente, en la educación superior coexiste una transformación basada en una renovada visión del pasado donde la atención personalizada ocupa un lugar privilegiado, con la finalidad de fomentar el desarrollo integral de los estudiantes, favoreciendo el aprendizaje y atenuando el abandono, y donde la tutoría universitaria tiene un papel decisivo. El presente estudio se centra en la evaluación de un programa de tutoría formativa en tres grados de la Universidad de Padua. Se realiza una verificación de la eficacia a través de la creación de un grupo control ex-post, compuesto por los sujetos no-tratados, cuyas características eran similares a las de los sujetos tratados. Se utiliza un procedimiento de propensity score matching. Los resultados muestran que la verificación contra-factual de las hipótesis de investigación acerca de la eficacia del programa da resultados significativos, en relación al abandono, se redujo a la mitad y el rendimiento académico mejoró, sobre todo en términos de resultados de aprendizaje.

University tutoring is a central process in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), with its different modalities and strategies. Nowadays, in post-secondary education a new attention to customer-tailored educational actions coexists with the goal to promote a wholeperson development of students in order to improve learning and contrast drop-outs: university tutoring plays a crucial role in this new vision. The study is focused on the evaluation of a programme of formative tutoring that involved three first-cycle degree courses at the University of Padova. The hypothesis of effectiveness, in particular, was verified by ex-post selection of a control group, composed of the most similar not treated students to treated ones. The selection of the control group members was carried out by propensity score matching, a statistical technique that predicts the probability to receive the treatment accounting for a set of students observable characteristics. This counter-factual causal analysis gave significant results: the drop-out rate fell by half, and performance increased in terms of learning outcomes.
Educación Primaria y alumnas gitanas. Análisis de las barreras sociales en contextos de exclusión

Published: January 2019

Actualmente se está produciendo una transformación de los roles tradicionales asociados a hombres y mujeres, sin embargo, en los contextos desfavorecidos de exclusión social estas desigualdades entre hombres y mujeres sigue siendo muy notable. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo reflexionar sobre la situación de la mujer gitana en contextos desfavorecidos a lo largo de su proceso educativo, así como establecer las estrategias necesarias para favorecer el proceso educativo de estas alumnas. Para ello, aplicamos una metodología mixta basada en cuestionarios y grupos de discusión con profesorado y agentes claves de cuatro centros educativos situados en contextos de exclusión social con alto porcentaje de alumnado gitano. Los resultados obtenidos nos demuestran la percepción del profesorado y agentes claves sobre las dificultades de las alumnas gitanas en el Sistema Educativo, así como las actuaciones que se llevan a cabo desde los centros educativos para favorecer la progresión educativa de las alumnas gitanas. En cualquier caso, es importante señalar que el contexto socioeconómico determina la trayectoria educativa de las alumnas gitanas más que las características culturales, ya que muchas de las dificultades que se encuentran las alumnas están más relacionadas con los contextos de marginación social que con su cultura.

Nowadays a transformation in the traditional roles associated to men and women is being produced, however, in disadvantaged contexts of social exclusion these inequalities between men and women are still very notable. The following work aims to reflect on the situation of romani female in disadvantaged contexts throughout their educational process and to establish the necessary strategies to promote the educational process of these students. To do it, we applied a mixed methodology based on questionnaires and focus groups with teachers and key agents from four schools located in contexts of social exclusion with high percentage of romani students. The results obtained show us the perception of teachers and agents about the difficulties of romani female students in the Educational System, and the actions that are carried out from schools to promote the educational progression of romani female students. In any case, it is important to point out that the socio-economic context determines the educational trajectory of romani women students more than the cultural characteristics, since many of the difficulties encountered by the students are more related to the contexts of social marginalization than to their culture.
L’écoute musicale comme construction du commun
Authors: Solomos Makis
Published: January 2019

Dans la tradition musicale idéaliste, l’écoute s’apparente à la plongée dans l’univers singulier de l’oeuvre musicale, conçue comme monade où chaque élément de la réalité a sa représentation : écouter signifie s’immerger dans une intériorité qui forme un monde en soi. La conséquence de cette forme d’écoute est une relative surdité à son environnement immédiat. Certaines formes actuelles d’addiction aurale, bénéficiant notamment du productivisme consumériste, renforcent jusqu’à la caricature cette surdité. C’est sans doute pourquoi de nombreux artistes d’aujourd’hui, et notamment ceux gravitant autour de l’écologie acoustique ou sonore, renversent la perspective et pensent l’écoute comme manière de se mettre en relation avec le monde. Cela passe souvent par une relative disparition de l’oeuvre (au profit de processus) et par un recentrement sur l’acte même d’écouter. Ce renversement n’est pas seulement un choix esthétique, il est aussi politique : il met en avant l’idée que l’écoute peut être construction du commun.
Danse et gestuelle des ménades

Le ménadisme est sans doute le phénomène rituel grec qui suscite encore aujourd’hui le plus de fascination et d’interrogations. Bien qu’un grand nombre de sources littéraires et iconographiques se rapportent à ce sujet, la réalité historique du ménadisme reste néanmoins difficile à appréhender. Ce que nous en savons et ce qui nous a été transmis relève avant tout de l’image mythico-poétique, une idée préformée d’un comportement et d’un état d’esprit propres à l’enthousiasme dionysiaque. Réalité cultuelle d’un rite dansé ou image poétique d’un état d’esprit : dans les sources textuelles comme iconographiques, les deux réalités se confondent. Il s’agira ici d’en dégager les différents principes, afin d’offrir une analyse de la gestuelle ménadique et de sa signification.
Enlivening Spirits
Authors: LaMothe Kimerer L.
Published: January 2019

In the history of dance and Christian theology, the United Society of Believers in the Second Coming of Christ, otherwise known as the Shakers, prove a unique case. Not only did the Shakers practice dancing for over 140 years as the central, constitutive ritual of a successful separatist religious socialism ; and not only did the Shakers mount a biblically informed theological defense of their dancing practice. The Shakers also elevated dancing alongside the Bible as a privileged medium of divine revelation. This paper mobilizes an ecokinetic approach in relation to the first two arcs of Shaker history to argue that the Shakers’ dancing serves as an authorizing source for their theological innovations. Dance is theopraxis.
A Personal Relationship with the Mysteries
Authors: Kieft Eline
Published: January 2019

This article investigates the possible role of improvised, conscious dance movement in nature as a way of reclaiming our direct experience of the metaphysical. I first discuss some aspects of the body and embodiment, not as contradictory with but absolutely essential to spirituality. I briefly touch on the possibility of embodied ecstasy, as well as various elements of embodiment such as awareness, alignment, presence, and connection. Then, after introducing some notions of dance and spirituality in various contexts, I zoom in on the ingredients of improvised movement as a way of negotiating the unknown, unpacking the possibilities of movement improvisation as a spiritual practice. Thirdly, I consider the potential for waking up to the sacred all around us, when movement practice is brought out into nature. Finally, I weave these threads together in some concluding thoughts on the role that dance can play in enhancing mystical participation in an enchanted world.
Constantin en postcolonie ou le tournant nègre de la théologie
Authors: Katchekpele Léonard Amossou
Published: January 2019

Les grandes vagues missionnaires des xixe et xxe siècles qui portèrent tant d’hommes et de femmes sur les rives du Sud, en l’occurrence l’Afrique, pour annoncer l’Évangile, semblent bien derrière nous. De nos jours, le mouvement semble même parfois s’inverser. Il ne s’agit pas tant ici de rendre compte de ces va-et-vient que de se demander si la théologie pourrait apprendre quelque chose de son passage par l’Afrique, en utilisant le filtre de la théologie politique comme révélateur des difficultés que porte la théologie dans cette rencontre. Le parcours permet de suggérer que ce que la théologie pourrait en recevoir, à titre de réapprentissage, représente le destin même de la théologie en Afrique : occuper le site du « nègre » entendu ici comme une « xénotopie » qui permet de réinterroger, à nouveaux frais, avec un regard d’étranger, les structures des sociétés où l’Église trouve demeure.

The process of structure formation in the alloys of the system TiC-VC(NbC)-NiCr with the alloying additions of the fine or nano WC, depending on the chemical composition and sintering temperature using the optical microscopy, SEM and XRD analysis, is investigated in this paper. The core/rim structure alloys were found irrespective of the amount of tungsten carbide additions. The research suggests that the adding of nano WC causes decrease in carbide grains, redistribution of the elements in the core and rim, and decrease in sintering temperature by 50–100 °С.

Centru/aptvērumu struktūras sakausējumi tika konstatēti neatkarīgi no volframa karbīda piedevu daudzuma. Pētījums liecina, ka nano WC pievienošana samazina karbīda graudus, elementu pārdali centros un aptvērumos, kā arī notiek saķepināšanās temperatūras samazināšanās par 50–100° С.

The reef crests of the Jardines de la Reina National Park are largely formed by Acropora palmata, but colonies of Acropora cervicornis and the hybrid Acropora prolifera are also present. This study shows spatial distribution of colonies, thickets and live fragments of these species in the fore reefs. Snorkeling was used to perform the direct observations. The maximum diameter of 4,399 colonies of A. palmata was measured and the health of 3,546 colonies was evaluated. The same was done to 168 colonies of A. cervicornis and 104 colonies of A. prolifera. The influence of the location and marine currents on a number of living colonies of A. palmata was analyzed. For such purpose, reef crests were divided into segments of 500 m. The marine park was divided into two sectors: East and West. The Caballones Channel was used as the reference dividing line. The park was also divided into five reserve zones. We counted 7,276 live colonies of Acropora spp. 1.4% was A. prolifera, 3.5% A. cervicornis and 95.1% A. palmata. There were 104 thickets of A. palmata, ranging from 8 to 12 colonies, and 3,495 fragments; 0.6% was A. cervicornis and the rest A. palmata (99.4%). In the East sector, 263 colonies (3.8 % of the total), 6 thickets (5.8 %) and 32 fragments (1 %) of A. palmate were recorded. In the same sector, there were 11 fragments (50 %) of A.cervicornis and 2 (2 %) colonies of A. prolifera. Health of A. palmata was evaluated as good and not so good in the study area. Health of A. cervicornis was critical and health of A. prolifera was good in all five reserve zones. There was a significant increase in the number of colonies from east to west (Χ2 = 11.5, gl = 3.0, p = 0.009). This corroborates the existence of a important abundance differences between the eastern and the western region of the JRNP. A negative relationship was observed between the number of colonies and the distance from the channel (Χ2 = 65.0, df = 3.0, p <0.001). The influence of the channel, for the live colonies of A. palmata is greater within the first 2000 m. It then decreases until approximately 6000 m, and no significant increase beyond. The orientation of the reef crests significantly influenced the abundance of the colonies (Χ2 = 15.5, df = 2.9, p = 0.001). The results presented here provide a baseline for future research on the status of the populations of Acropora spp., considering that there has been a certain recovery of the species A. palmata during the last 10 to 16 years. Given the current status of the populations of Acropora spp., conservation actions focusing A. cervicornis should be prioritized.
Potential surrogate plants for use in semi-field pesticide risk assessment with Megachile rotundata

Background

Current regulatory pesticide risk assessments for bees are based primarily on the honey bee (Apis mellifera) and may not always be protective of solitary bees. To incorporate solitary bees into the risk assessment process, standardized methods to assess the hazard of pesticides under semi-field (Tier II) conditions will be needed. We conducted a series of experiments over 2 years to assess potential surrogate plants and adult release rates for use in semi-field experiments with the alfalfa leafcutting bee (ALB, Megachile rotundata).

Methods

We compared ALB foraging activity and reproduction on 12 m2 plots of flowering alfalfa (Medicago sativa) and buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) at low (10♀/20♂) and high (20♀/40♂) adult release rates. The following year, we assessed the same endpoints on plots of purple tansy (Phacelia tanacetifolia) at a release rate of 10♀/15♂.

Results

Although ALB foraging activity was high on buckwheat plots, fewer adults were produced compared to alfalfa plots. On alfalfa, there were no differences in foraging activity, nesting, or reproduction between the low and high release rates. ALB readily foraged from purple tansy flowers, but females avoided purple tansy leaves for leaf cell construction.

Discussion

Our study suggests that buckwheat alone cannot support ALB during semi-field studies on small plots. For alfalfa, we recommend a maximum release rate of 10♀/20♂ in 12 m2 plots. Further study of higher ALB release rates on purple tansy is warranted. A mixed planting of purple tansy and a plant suitable for leaf piece collection (e.g., buckwheat) may provide favorable conditions for ALB activity and reproduction during semi-field testing.

FORMA E CONTEÚDO DO ENSINO NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL: O PAPEL DO JOGO PROTAGONIZADO E AS CONTRIBUIÇÕES DA LITERATURA INFANTIL
Authors: Pasqualin Juliana Campregher , Abrantes Angelo Antonio
Published: January 2019

Esse artigo aborda a relação entre ensino escolar e desenvolvimento psíquico à luz da psicologia histórico-cultural e da pedagogia histórico-crítica, tecendo apontamentos sobre a tríade forma-conteúdo- destinatário do ensino na particularidade da educação infantil. Considerando a finalidade de promover a formação das bases do pensamento teórico na criança pequena, analisa-se o papel do jogo protagonizado como atividade dominante da idade pré-escolar e discute-se as contribuições da literatura dirigida à criança, destacando a importância do acesso a produções artísticas que retratam imaginativamente objetos e fenômenos da realidade considerados a partir da prevalência do movimento e multilateralidade. 
A PEDAGOGIA HISTÓRICO-CRÍTICA E A FORMAÇÃO DA INDIVIDUALIDADE PARA SI
Authors: Duarte Newton
Published: January 2019

Há lugar no marxismo para a discussão sobre a individualidade? A pedagogia histórico-crítica precisa de uma teoria da formação do indivíduo? O artigo responde afirmativamente a essas duas perguntas e analisa os pilares de uma teoria marxista da formação do indivíduo humano. O ponto de partida é a relação entre os processos de objetivação e apropriação que têm sua gênese na atividade de trabalho. Essa relação é analisada numa perspectiva dialética, materialista e histórica, compreendendo-se a contradição gerada pela luta de classes que confere ao desenvolvimento sociocultural tanto o significado de humanização quanto o de alienação. Dessa maneira, a formação do indivíduo é entendida no interior do processo histórico de autoconstrução do gênero humano, num movimento que parte do em si e caminha em direção ao para si, ou seja, que promove a formação da individualidade livre e universal. 
PEDAGOGIA HISTÓRICO-CRÍTICA: TEORIA SEM PRÁTICA? – ONDE ESTÁ O CRITÉRIO DE VERDADE?
Authors: Gasparin João Luiz
Published: January 2019

Este trabalho tem como objetivo evidenciar uma prática da pedagogia histórico-crítica no processo escolar de ensino e aprendizagem. A questão diretriz deste trabalho docente e foi assim formulada: É possível a pedagogia histórico-crítica se constituir teórica e praticamente em uma didática nos cursos de licenciatura e no trabalho dos professores da rede pública estadual e das prefeituras municipais? O referencial teórico-metodológico do trabalho é o materialismo histórico-dialético. O relato trata da pedagogia histórico-crítica em sua aplicação prática em sala de aula. A metodologia de trabalho nos cursos de licenciatura consiste na apresentação dos fundamentos do materialismo histórico-dialético e da teoria histórico-cultural, bem como da explicação dos passos da pedagogia histórico-crítica e sua respectiva didática. Nas assessorias a secretarias municipais de educação segue-se a mesma estrutura teórica acrescida do planejamento de unidades de conteúdo que serão efetivamente aplicadas em sala de aula. Os resultados do trabalho teórico-prático com os licenciandos e com os professores da rede estadual de ensino e com os docentes das prefeituras evidenciam resultados positivos de aprendizagem dos educandos, mas apontam também a necessidade de aprofundamento teórico e a luta pela conquista das condições adequadas para a implantação efetiva da pedagogia histórico-crítica e sua didática nas escolas. 
OS DESAFIOS DA INSTITUCIONALIZAÇÃO E IMPLEMENTAÇÃO DA PEDAGOGIA HISTÓRICO-CRÍTICA NOS ANOS INICIAIS DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL DE ITAIPULÂNDIA-PR
Authors: Balzan Celso Sidinei , Orso Paulino José
Published: January 2019

O presente trabalho situa-se no âmbito da história da educação e tem por objeto investigar os desafios da institucionalização da pedagogia histórico-crítica (PHC) nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental da rede pública municipal de Itaipulândia-PR. Nele, procuramos analisar a trajetória educacional itaipulandiense articulada com as proposições e ações realizadas ao longo de vários anos, especialmente em 2010. Essas conquistas compõem atualmente a política pública educacional municipal que compreende programas que articulam formação com melhores condições de trabalho, de ensino e de aprendizagem. Com base na análise documental e bibliográfica, procuramos discutir e entender como os professores deste município elaboraram proposições a partir do estudo dos principais desafios que a pedagogia histórico-crítica enfrenta na educação brasileira, utilizando-se de experiências, programas e projetos educacionais das esferas estadual e federal. Ao abordar as condições concretas que incidem sobre a educação, a escola e a organização do trabalho didático, por meio da análise de sua trajetória histórico- educacional, pretendemos analisar o processo de institucionalização e implementação desta tendência pedagógica nos anos iniciais da educação básica do município de Itaipulândia.
