Abstract. Applying remote sensing technology to map and monitor agriculture and its impacts can greatly contribute for the proper development of this activity, promoting efficient food, fiber and energy production. For that, not only remote sensing images are needed, but also ground truth information, which is a key factor for the development and improvement of methodologies using remote sensing data. While a variety of images are current available, inclusive cost-free images, field reference data is scarcer. For agricultural applications, especially in tropical regions such as Brazil, where the agriculture is very dynamic and diverse (recent agricultural frontiers, crop rotations, multiple cropping systems, several management practices, etc.), and cultivated over a vast territory, this task is not trivial. One way of boosting the researches in agricultural remote sensing is to stimulate people to share their data, and to foster different groups to use the same dataset, so distinct methods can be properly compared. In this context, our group created the LEM Benchmark Database (a project funded by the ISPRS Scientific Initiative project - 2017) from the Luiz Eduardo Magalhães (LEM) municipality, Bahia State, Brazil. The database contains a set of pre-processed multitemporal satellite images (Landsat-8/OLI, Sentinel-2/MSI and SAR band-C Sentinel-1) and shapefiles of agricultural fields with their correspondent monthly land use classes, covering the period of one Brazilian crop year (2017–2018). In this paper we present the first results obtained with this database.

Published: August 2020

Abstract. India is one of the top space-faring nations in the world, which not only to build satellites and launches them using indigenously developed launch vehicles but also spearheads the use of space technology for many applications at the national and international level. Training, education and capacity building (TECB) are important components in promoting the use of space technology, thereby benefitting the society. North Eastern Space Applications Centre (NESAC) is one of many institutions under the umbrella of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Department of Space (DOS) which is responsible for promoting TECB at National level. ISRO / DOS also supports TECB at an International level through many initiatives such as IIRS – ITC JEP, UN-CSSTEAP, CEOS, UNSPIDER, UN-FAO, WMO, Commonwealth, and BIMSTEC etc. NESAC established in 2000, initiated capacity building and spearheaded Outreach programs from 2019 in the North East Region of India. Prime Minister of India announced in the plenary meeting of BIMSTEC(Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation) Summit at Kathmandu, Nepal in August 2018, recognizing NESAC to conduct space technology training programs of two weeks and 3 months for BIMSTEC Countries every year for the next five years with full financial support from Government of India. The first two week training program on “capacity building on the earth observation applications and research” was successfully conducted for 24 participants, four participants each representing Bangladesh, Bhutan, Thailand, Myanmar, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. The participants are from User Departments, Science and Technology Ministries, Space Organizations and Academia and Research Institutions. The training benefitted the participants from state of the art training facilities and experienced faculties from NESAC/ISRO/Academia from across India. The summary of feedback from the participants (excellent – 57%, good – 40%, average – 2.6% and poor – 0.4%) indicates that the course is very much useful as it has enhanced their knowledge in earth observation, geospatial analysis capabilities that will be put into use on their return. The training and capacity building has opened new vistas of cooperation and possible collaboration between BIMSTEC countries ranging from availing satellite data, expansion and access to data sharing portals, creating knowledge network to promote young researchers and expert sharing within the region, further to expand the capacity building by initiating distance learning programs, taking up joint research and application projects, etc. The rich experience of conducting a unique program, one of its kind and detailed feedback and possible expansion of BIMSTEC programs in the future is presented in the paper.

Abstract. Copernicus, the European Space program ensures free data availability and the organisational and financial framework to provide standardized information products in its service domains atmosphere, marine, land monitoring, climate change, emergency management and human security. A key to success to the market uptake process is knowledge exchange among all actors from the various sectors involved, notably research and educational institutions, industry, and the public sector. As a successful instrument to foster and stimulate this exchange, maximize the impact and additionally boost related capacity building and training activities, the Copernicus Academy has been anchored in the European Space Strategy. The present paper highlights some key activities to leverage the potential of this dynamically growing network of experts from universities and research institutions, public and private organizations, companies, stakeholders, and increase the benefit to its members. The vision of establishing both physical implementations of regional Copernicus hubs and virtual Copernicus hubs, built on key elements of the European Innovation strategy, is discussed. Regional hubs, attached e.g. to centres of excellence, are essential to meet local needs for exchange and training to boost the user uptake. The increasing importance of virtual hubs is becoming evident as a critical means to maximise synergies among actors in the rapidly advancing technological areas. Proposed technical elements demonstrate innovative solutions to visualize and facilitate easy harvesting of the Copernicus Academy member´s expertise for different stakeholder and the public, and show cast possibilities of active involvement and exchange within the network.
DEVELOPMENT OF A CITSCI AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SUPPORTED GIS PLATFORM FOR LANDSLIDE DATA COLLECTION
Authors: Can R. , Kocaman S. , Gokceoglu C.
Published: August 2020

Abstract. Geospatial data are fundamental to understand the relationship between the geographical events and the Earth dynamics. Although the geospatial technologies aid geodata collection, the increasing possibilities yield new application areas and cause even a greater demand. Considering the increment in data quantity and diversity, to be able to work with the data, they must be collected, stored, analysed and presented with the help of specifically designed platforms. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) with mobile and web support are the most suitable platforms for these purposes. On the other hand, the location-enabled mobile, web and geospatial technologies empowered the rise of the citizen science (CitSci) projects. With the CitSci, mobile GIS platforms enable the data to be collected from almost any location. As the size of the collected data increases, considering automatic control of the data quality has become a necessity. Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) with the CitSci based GIS designs allows automatic quality control of the data and helps eliminating data validation problem in CitSci. For this reason, the purpose of the present study is to develop a CitSci and AI supported GIS platform for landslide data collection because landslide hazard mitigation efforts require landslide susceptibility, hazard and risk assessments. Especially, landslide hazard assessments are necessary the time of occurrence of a landslide. Although this information is crucial, it is almost impossible to collect time of occurrence in regional hazard assessment efforts. Consequently, use of CitSci for this purpose may provide valuable information for landslide hazard assessments.

PARTICIPATORY APPROACH FOR THE ENHANCEMENT OF ARCHITECTURAL
ARCHIVES FUNDS: THE EXPERIENCE AT MUSEO DELLA RAPPRESENTAZIONE IN CATANIA
Authors: Santagati C. , D'Agostino G. , Garozzo R. , La Russa F. M. , Galizia M.
Published: August 2020

Abstract. This paper describes the results of a participatory approach experienced during the training of university and high school students at the MuRa (Museo della Rappresentazione). Mura is a university museum belonging to the Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture at University of Catania. It houses and exhibits the collections of architectural projects of Francesco Fichera and a series of chalcographies including the collection of the renown engraver Giovan Battista Piranesi. The training program has been addressed at the documentation, visualization and communication of the architectures realized by Francesco Fichera and other Sicilian architects in the city centre of Catania in the first half of XXth century, whose projects are hosted by the museum. The methodology adopted has included the experimentation of participatory strategies aimed at the communication and the narration of the architectures built in the early twentieth century in Catania. After a preliminary training phase on digital tools for 3D documentation and enhancement of architectural heritage, the students were invited to participate with their ideas and creative expressions in the dissemination actions of the identified case studies.
Introduction to the Special Issue on World-Systems Analysis and the Anthropocene
Authors: Sklair Leslie , Murphy Michael Warren
Published: August 2020

Across the social sciences and humanities, and in diverse forms of popular media around the world, discourse about the Anthropocene is proliferating. From the plastic particles found in deep sea trenches to the unfolding of Earth’s sixth mass extinction, among many other indicators—notably anthropogenic climate change—it is clear that human impacts may have irreversibly perturbed the planet. This special issue sets out to deepen and broaden the conversation from a world-systems perspective. Building upon a long tradition of scholarship deploying world-systems theory to understand global environmental change, we wish to explore the past, present, and future of the world-system with/in the Anthropocene. In this introduction we first offer prefatory remarks about the Anthropocene (by no means a universally accepted concept) that are meant to help orient readers to debates around the Anthropocene before turning to a summary of the contributions and the themes that emerge in this Special Issue.
Envisioning Indigenous Models for Social and Ecological Change in the Anthropocene
Authors: Fenelon James , Alford Jennifer
Published: August 2020

Indigenous societies provide alternatives to hegemonic social institutions that global capitalism spread around the world, contributing to human caused environmental degradation called the Anthropocene, coterminous with the development of the modern world-system.  In this work we describe Indigenous communities using ten social spheres, that balance human needs through ecological mindfulness, including spirituality, and then we model how these social spheres can be adapted to contemporary world-systems using a radical imaginary, building off Indigenous works by Fenelon (2015; 2016), social perspectives of Pellow (2017) and Norgaard (2019), and environmental geospatial sciences (Lui, Springer, and Wagner 2008; Jankowski 2009). We identify four social constructs from Indigenous peoples—(1) decision-making, (2) land tenure and resource management, (3) economic and (4) community—which we model for societies in world-systems through the ten imagined social spheres, to present foundations that empower communities to resist the coming climate change futures of the Anthropocene.
Enabling (e)motion
Authors: Bågander Linnea , Kent Karolin
Published: August 2020

This article discusses a practical exploration of the ability of a textile to meet with and affect bodies. It buildson the inherent ability of textiles, particularly in the form of a garment, to evoke movements and emotions. This paper suggests a shift in focus of the design of bodily materiality, towards an expression emerging from interactions connecting materiality and performativity. The findings are the result of 2.5 years of exploration,during which four performances, ten workshops, and four exhibitions were performed. The entwined parameters of expressing and informing are applied as a material choreographic thinking, which in this case results in a material choreography of openness, where expressing and informing are essential as entwined design parameters in the design of body-material interactions. The material choreography is developed as a method for addressing somatic experience, with improvements in terms of wellbeing and presence as aesthetic goals, focusing on reducing movements and emotions relating to stress for people suffering from chronic fatiguesyndrome.
Holding the space: Choreography, architecture and urban heritage
Authors: Crawley Marie-Louise , Kostic Cisneros Rosemary
Published: August 2020

This article responds to the interdisciplinary developments that choreography has undergone in the twenty-first century, in terms of a focus on relationships between dance, architecture, site and cultural heritage. It makes a claim for how choreography within the city manifests itself in the form of a public bodily act, as artistic boundary-crosser and socio-political agent. We explore this through the lens of a central case study: artist Anton Mirto’s Scaffolding (2019), a workshop-performance event for seven dancers sited within The Chapel of Many, an architectural installation by architect Sebastian Hicks and set inside the ruins of Coventry Cathedral (UK) as part of the Coventry Welcomes Festival’s Refugee Week. Grounded in an exploration of dance and architecture in terms of spatiotemporal relations following Rachel Sara’s (2015) framework of a transontology of architecture and dance and Rachel Hann’s (2019) concept of fast architecture, we argue for how the choreographic process of making Scaffolding speaks back to both the architectural space and the urban heritage site in which it is located and addresses a certain experience of temporality, history and memory. In turn, the potential political agency of such a performed conversation between architecture and choreography in the twenty-first century city is revealed.
Dance curation as choreographic practice
Authors: Dupuis Chris
Published: August 2020

Dance curators (or programmers, as they are often called) have a significant impact on the dance field throughtheir selection processes: elevating certain works, practices, and artists, while effectively excluding others. Through this, they have a considerable hand in shaping what kinds of dance pieces a local audience has access to,effectively writing dance history over time. But their working processes remain poorly understood, and there have been limited attempts to theorize their practice. This article begins with an exploration of the etymology of the term curator and the historical emergence of the curator in both the fine arts and dance. It then goes on to examine the role of the curator as mediator in two common models for dance presentation (the festival and the theater season) and explores two alternative curatorial models (the focus program at Brussels venue Beursschouwburg and the uncurated model of Amsterdam festival Come Together). Finally, it explores the practice of dance curation as a form of choreography itself. It concludes that contextualizing dance curation asa form of choreography could be an effective starting point for theorizing the practice, hopefully paving the way for further study.
The article a(n) in English quantifying expressions: A default marker of cardinality
Authors: Klockmann Heidi
Published: August 2020

Certain English quantificational expressions feature what appears to be an indefinite article, e.g. a bunch, a few, a hundred. These can be divided into three types of quantifying expressions: pseudopartitives (a lot, a bunch, a ton), article-requiring quantifiers (a few, a couple, a hundred), and article-free quantifiers (three, many, several); article-free quantifiers have an article under certain circumstances, e.g. modification by an adjective (a surprising 30 …). While standard analyses would take the article in these expressions to be a D head, it is argued here that the article is not in D, nor is it singular or count, as evidenced by its (lack of an) interaction with verbal agreement. Instead, it is claimed that a(n) is a default cardinality marker, which surfaces when a QP is present, but fails to be spelled-out by other material. The distribution of default a(n) further interacts with adjective placement (a surprising 30), plural marking on some quantifiers (tons of), other determiners (the hundred), and the functional status of the quantifier (a wealth of vs. a lot). The resemblance of this article to the English indefinite article a(n) is also considered, and a possible unifying analysis is given.
Willingness of medical students to refer patients to a physician associate or a doctor based on clinical scenarios when time is a trade-off
Authors: Joyce Pauline , Syed Saifullah , Arnett Richard , Sreenan Seamus , Hooker Roderick S
Published: August 2020

Background: The Physician Associate (PA) role was introduced in Ireland in 2015 in an effort to bolster medical services. From the perspective of the patient and staff they have been well received. However, the attitude of medical students about PAs is not known.Objective: To investigate the willingness of medical students to refer patients to a PA or a doctor.Methods: A quantitative study was undertaken using an online survey with a sample of 1,909 undergraduate and graduate entry medical students. Based on three outpatient scenarios, they were asked, in their role as future intern (PGY1), to choose a referral to a PA or a doctor, with six time trade-off options offered. Year of study, country of residence and working or treatment experience with PAs and Nurse Practitioners were recorded. Descriptive statistics, and logistic regression models were used.Results: In 2019, in Dublin, 177 medical students took part in the survey. Those surveyed were international and domestic nationals. Overall the PA option was chosen where the patient’s wait time was shorter and the clinical condition was perceived more serious. The doctor option was selected more readily when the wait time difference was less significant. Respondents from countries with established PA roles may have had experience to choose PAs than naïve ones.Conclusion: This study confirms that medical students’ willingness to refer a patient is influenced by familiarity with the PA role and severity of the medical condition. In addition wait time is a primary motivator for selecting the PA over doctor option. These findings suggest a need to improve communication about the PA role among Irish medical students.
A Comparative Study of Language Development in Monolingual and Bilingual Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
Authors: Al-khresheh Mohammad Hamad
Published: August 2020

This study sought to analyze how the process of language development differed between a group of monolingual and bilingual children with autism spectrum disorders (n = 201) who were aged between 5-8 years and hailed from different countries around the world. To achieve this objective, a self-designed five-point Likert scale covering six different language domains was developed to measure the level of difficulty experienced by the participants. The measurement of the level of these difficulties was conducted based on reliable statistical analysis methods. The participants in the two groups were then compared on the basis of these difficulties. No statistically significant differences between the two groups were observed in any language domain. While mild differences within the items of main domains were indeed observed, they were deemed to be statistically non-significant. The results of this study suggest that both monolingualism and bilingualism do not have any detrimental effects on the language development abilities of children with autism spectrum disorders. Both groups were observed to experience the same level of difficulty in their language development process. This study’s limitations, implications, and other research suggestions have been discussed in detail as well.

I wanted to perpetuate a residue of a nonrenewable natural resource such as oil, in art. Making a symbiosis of the perishable with the immortal that is the painting.

I seek to convey the effort often invisible and unrecognized. Suddenly immortalize the operating personnel of a factory that performs physical and strong work, which is developed in the oil field. And not only in the Bolivian context but an international one.

These industrial landscapes are made of hot paint, such as oil cuts that come out as waste from different operational activities.
CONTINUITY AND INTEGRATION OF PERSON-CENTERED ASSESSMENT AND CARE ACROSS THE LIFE CYCLE
Authors: Appleyard Jim , Botbol Michel
Published: August 2020

Health is a consequence of multiple determinants operating in interrelated genetic, biological, behavioral, social, and economic contexts that change as a person develops.
The timing and sequence of such events and experiences influence the health and development of both individuals and populations. A life course perspective offers a more joined up approach with significant implications for long term health gain. A three-dimensional picture needs to evolve laterally in the present, longitudinally from earlier life events and likely future projections, and vertically from the advances in the medical sciences.
Interfaces entre a Linguística e a Literatura : um estudo de Madame Bovary
Authors: Mello Renata Aiala de
Published: August 2020

Literatura e Linguística são duas disciplinas que, historicamente, foram tratadas de maneira separada. Hoje, aparentemente, há um reconhecimento recíproco por parte dos estudiosos de cada área. Com este trabalho, mostramos algumas interfaces possíveis entre os estudos linguísticos e os estudos literários através de uma análise discursiva do romance Madame Bovary, de Gustave Flaubert (1856, 1951). Com o arcabouço teórico da AD, delineamos as imagens de si (ethos) da personagem principal, Emma Bovary. Além disso, com o auxílio do quadro comunicacional da Semiolinguística de Charaudeau (1983), contextualizamos o romance e seu discurso na sociedade francesa do século XIX, fazendo, assim, uma análise pluridisciplinar da obra.
Língua, literatura e impressos franceses no Brasil do século XIX
Authors: Lages Rita Cristina Lima
Published: August 2020

A proposta deste trabalho é tratar da circulação de livros, e impressos de modo geral, que circularam no Brasil no século XIX, e que foram apropriados para o ensino da língua francesa. Nos primeiros momentos de escolarização do idioma, mapas que traziam os programas dos exames indicaram a utilização não só de manuais específicos, as gramáticas, como também a apropriação de obras de belas letras, de filosofia, política e economia para o ensino da língua. Tomaremos de modo mais específico a experiência da província de Minas Gerais. Destacou-se na província mineira uma ambiência cultural marcada por uma forte influência francesa que se fazia, sobretudo, pela circulação de livros e impressos.
Literatura indígena entre tradição ancestral e crítica do presente: sobre a voz-práxis indígena em termos estético-literários
Authors: Danner Leno Francisco , Dorrico Julie , Danner Fernando
Published: August 2020

Argumentaremos que a literatura de minorias de um modo geral e a literatura indígena em particular possibilitam a publicização da voz-práxis dessas mesmas minorias (em nosso caso, aqui, dos indígenas) desde uma perspectiva que intersecciona eu e comunidade-grupo e que se funda e se constitui por meio da tríade memória (enquanto comunidade e como vítima), autoafirmação (como minoria) e resistência político-cultural (contra a marginalização, a exclusão e a violência sofridas e vividas como minorias). No que se refere à literatura indígena brasileira, argumentaremos que ela se desenvolve nessa correlação de retomada e afirmação da tradição comunitária ancestral (o que liga de modo totalmente imbricado sujeito estético-literário e comunidade de cultura) e crítica do presente (a constituição de uma voz-práxis vinculada, carnal e política, relatada autobiográfica e mnemonicamente), possibilitando-se e impulsionando-se a publicização da própria condição e o ativismo estético-político do indígena frente às instituições e aos demais sujeitos epistemológico-políticos, rompendo-se com o silenciamento em torno à questão indígena estabelecido em termos de esfera pública. Assim, nosso argumento central consiste em que a literatura de minorias e a literatura indígena se constituem diretamente como ativismo estético-literário por meio seja da utilização da – e em termos da própria vinculação à – tradição comunitária (o eu-nós lírico, político, cultural), seja da voz-práxis de denúncia e de desvelamento da condição de exclusão, de marginalização e de violência vividas – essa é, defendemos, uma condição fundamental para se analisar o sentido da autoria e da expressão estético-literária das minorias em geral e das produções indígenas em particular.
Tendências da produção científica brasileira na área de Letras sobre letramento acadêmico na formação de professores
Authors: Souza Elisa Bragança Curi Magalhães de , Rodrigues Jéssica do Nascimento
Published: August 2020

Apesar de decorrer das práticas sociais vivenciadas pelos universitários, o ensino da escrita acadêmica tem sido pouco presente nos cursos de licenciaturas. Isso se reflete na formação desses estudantes e futuros professores, que costumam apresentar lacunas no ler-escrever textos da esfera acadêmica. Considerada ainda a escassez de produções científicas brasileiras acerca desse tema, este estudo busca investigar as principais tendências da produção científica sobre letramento acadêmico na formação de professores na área de Letras, publicadas no banco de teses da CAPES, entre 2013 e 2017, visando mapear os desafios e as contribuições do debate acerca do letramento acadêmico na formação de professores. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica do tipo estado da arte que considera os trabalhos completos de dissertações e teses publicadas nessa plataforma e desenvolvidas no contexto brasileiro. Nessa investigação, encontraram-se apenas quatro trabalhos publicados sobre o tema na área de Letras, reafirmando a necessidade de investimento em pesquisa para avançar nas imbricações entre letramentos acadêmicos e letramento docente.
Se eu digo que emudeci, nada do que eu digo estou dizendo: aspectos do diálogo entre homem e Deus em "Floema", de Hilda Hist
Authors: Sippel Juliano
Published: August 2020

Neste artigo analiso as categorias de tempo (SINHA; GÄRDENFORS, 2014) e aspecto (DAHL, 1985), nomeadamente aspectos do pretérito perfeito do indicativo (TRAVAGLIA, 2016; CAMPOS, 1997; CAMPOS, XAVIER, 1991) do presente do indicativo (TRAVAGLIA, 2016), do gerúndio e da perífrase estar + gerúndio (MENDES, 2005), no texto Floema de Hilda Hilst (2003). Nesse texto a autora desenvolve um diálogo entre um homem (Koyo) e um Deus (Haydum), que se materializa à sua frente. À medida que a narrativa avança, o que se observa é a representação da impossibilidade de se estabelecer comunicação direta entre Homem e divindade. Em meio a essa inviabilidade de conversa, ao analisar alguns eventos desse texto como categorias aspectuais (acabadas, não acabadas, cursivas, durativas, perfectivas, imperfectivas), procuro sistematizá-los em momentos específicos, na tentativa de encontrar uma organização textual/discursiva do confronto que ali se apresenta.

Das neue „Gesetz zur Modernisierung des Strafverfahrens“ vom 10.12.2019: Steter Tropfen höhlt den Stein der Rechtsstaatlichkeit?
Authors: Duttge Gunnar
Published: August 2020

Der moderne Gesetzgeber gibt eine zukunftsgerichtete Reform des Strafverfahrens vor, die er aber in Wahrheit verweigert. Anstelle dessen wärmt er alte Vorschläge auf, denen eines gemein ist: der Abbau von Verfahrensrechten und schützenden Formen. In einer komplexer gewordenen Welt bedarf es jedoch keines „vereinfachten“, sondern eines intelligenten, differenzierenden Rechts; die vielbeschworene „Praxisgerechtigkeit“ steht daher unter dem Vorbehalt der Sachgerechtigkeit. Denn eine Praxis ohne Bezugnahme auf den Sinn des Ganzen ist - in den Worten des großen Königsbergers - „bloßes Herumtappen in Versuchen und Erfahrungen“, und derjenige, der auf eine übergreifende Leitidee („Theorie“) verzichten zu können glaubt? - ein „Ignorant“ (Kant, Über den Gemeinspruch: Das mag in der Theorie richtig sein, taugt aber nicht für die Praxis, 1793).
Lücken im Ombudswesen: Polizeibeauftragte
Authors: Kreuzer Arthur
Published: August 2020

Das aus Skandinavien stammende Institut der Ombudsleute hat sich hierzulande gut entwickelt. Es ist ein Scharnier zwischen Staat und Gesellschaft, formeller und informeller Rechtskontrolle, hoheitlicher und zivilgesellschaftlicher Verantwortlichkeit. Es hat kriminalpräventive Wirkung. Beispiele sind Wehr-, Missbrauchs-, Drogen- und Datenschutzbeauftragte auf Bundes- und Landesebene. Ombudsleute in gesellschaftlichen Einrichtungen wie den Wohlfahrtsverbänden kommen hinzu. Überwiegend fehlen noch Vertrauensleute für die Pflege und für Haftanstalten. In Bund und Ländern stehen Vorhaben an für Polizeibeauftragte. Nur wenige gibt es bisher. Dieser Einrichtung wird oft entgegengehalten, sie beruhe auf Misstrauen oder dem Generalverdacht von Diskriminierung und Gewaltmissbrauch durch Polizei. Unabhängige, vertraulich wirkende Polizeibeauftragte leisten jedoch wertvolle Arbeit für Polizei und Bevölkerung. Sie tragen zur rechtsstaatlich nötigen Transparenz bei. Sie können Einzelkonflikte klären, strukturelle Mängel erkennen, Erfahrungen in Politik und Gesetzgebung weitergeben. Durch sie lassen sich Hemmungen überwinden, wenn sich Betroffene innerhalb und außerhalb der Institution mit Anregungen, Verdachtshinweisen und Beschwerden an eine kompetente Stelle wenden wollen, die mit entsprechenden Befugnissen ausgestattet ist und Vertraulichkeit gewährleistet. Nur so kann Befürchtungen von Hinweisgebern um eine mögliche Verschlechterung der Situation, Mobbing, dienst- und arbeitsrechtliche Risiken oder Strafanzeigen wegen Verleumdung vorgebeugt werden. Die Institution des Polizeibeauftragten gewinnt neuestens große Aufmerksamkeit zu aufgrund der Debatten um wissenschaftliche Befunde oder geforderte Untersuchungen über Polizeigewalt, Gewalt gegen Polizei, Polizeieinsätze bei Großveranstaltungen, „racial profiling“ und die Kennzeichnungspflicht und Identifizierbarkeit von Einsatzkräften. Weiter werden Fragen von Struktur und Organisation solcher Ombudsleute erörtert. Für polizeiliche und vergleichbare Ombudsleute fehlen bislang funktional unabdingbare, bundesgesetzlich verankerte Zeugnisverweigerungsrechte und Schweigepflichten.
Neural Control of Homeostatic Feeding and Food Selection
Authors: Minokoshi Yasuhiko
Published: August 2020

Neural regulation of feeding is key to the control of body energy balance. Recent studies have identified multiple neural circuits that contribute to the control of homeostatic or hedonic feeding, with these circuits acting cooperatively to regulate feeding overall. Neuropeptide Y (NPY)-agouti-related peptide (AgRP) neurons and pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus appear to be primary and reciprocal regulators of homeostatic food intake. However, the central mechanisms underlying the regulation of nutrient intake remain largely unknown. 5′-Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an important molecule in the regulation of energy metabolism. We recently showed that AMPK-regulated corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) neurons in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus regulate the selection of carbohydrate over a more palatable diet. Here, I address key recent findings that have shed light on the homeostatic regulation of feeding including total calorie and macronutrient intake.
Transfer Learning of Pre-Trained CNN Models for Fingerprint Liveness Detection
Authors: Samma Hussein , Azmin Suandi Shahrel
Published: August 2020

Machine learning experts expected that transfer learning will be the next research frontier. Indeed, in the era of deep learning and big data, there are many powerful pre-trained CNN models that have been deployed. Therefore, using the concept of transfer learning, these pre-trained CNN models could be re-trained to tackle a new pattern recognition problem. As such, this work is aiming to investigate the application of transferred VGG19-based CNN model to solve the problem of fingerprint liveness recognition. In particular, the transferred VGG19-based CNN model will be modified, re-trained, and finely tuned to recognize real and fake fingerprint images. Moreover, different architecture of the transferred VGG19-based CNN model has examined including shallow model, medium model, and deep model. To assess the performances of each architecture, LivDet2009 database was employed. Reported results indicated that the best recognition rate was achieved from shallow VGG19-based CNN model with 92% accuracy.
CPLE et protocoles de consultation autochtones au Brésil

À partir de l’étude comparée de deux cas de protocoles de consultation autochtones brésiliens (les Protocoles juruna et munduruku), cet article entend documenter le phénomène en retraçant l’émergence et les usages de ces protocoles par les acteurs en place, afin d’en souligner non seulement la portée juridique, mais aussi politique. Ainsi, et c’est ce que la comparaison permet de mettre en lumière, même si les avancées et les défis des protocoles de consultation communautaires autochtones du Brésil sont en théorie similaires, on observe en réalité une grande variation au regard de leurs trajectoires d’émergence et de mise en oeuvre. La comparaison proposée montre qu’une analyse située contextuellement qui met la focale sur les stratégies et les pratiques des acteurs peut être plus fructueuse afin de comprendre, en pratique, comment opèrent les mécanismes d’appropriation de la norme de CLPE et leur mise en oeuvre.
Mettre en oeuvre le consentement préalable, libre et éclairé (CPLE) en Eeyou Istchee
Authors: Bourgeois Sabrina , Rodon Thierry
Published: August 2020

Le projet d’uranium Matoush de Ressources Strateco était promu par le gouvernement Charest, notamment dans le Plan Nord ; cependant, il n’était pas acceptable pour la communauté crie de Mistissini qui a obtenu l’appui du Grand Conseil des Cris d’Eeyou Istchee. Cet article documente la mobilisation de la norme du CPLE (Consentement préalable, libre et éclairé) par les Cris dans leur opposition au projet. Les auteurs montrent qu’en bloquant le projet Matoush, les Cris ont su créer un contexte politique favorable au respect de leur consentement sur la gestion des activités extractives, comme la politique minière crie l’indique clairement. Ils mettent ainsi en oeuvre le CPLE prévu par la Déclaration des Nations unies sur les droits des peuples autochtones et ce, même si le Canada ne l’a pas encore mise en oeuvre dans ses législations.
Changement paradigmatique de la théologie catholique à l’université à la lumière d’une étude de cas
Authors: Lefebvre Solange
Published: August 2020

Les études de la religion se transforment rapidement depuis la fin des années 1990. Dans une perspective sociohistorique d’analyse des changements institutionnels, cet article résume l’état de la situation en trois temps : le repli de la théologie dans des institutions initiatiques homogènes, le développement de l’intérêt scientifique pour le religieux, le passage du pastoral au spirituel. Les mutations qu’a connues la Faculté de théologie de l’Université de Montréal depuis les années 1960 sont analysées dans quatre autres sections. Ces mutations constituent le baromètre de trois grands phénomènes interreliés, à savoir la transformation profonde des cultures en ce qui concerne le rapport à la religion, la cléricalisation de la théologie catholique et le bouleversement des grands modèles universitaires classiques. Un nouveau paradigme d’une théologie critique à l’Université publique est proposé.
The moss family Bruchiaceae in Australia: Introduction and the genus Trematodon.
Authors: Ramsay Helen , Downing Alison , Seppelt Rod
Published: August 2020

An introduction to the family Bruchiaceae (Bryopsida in Australia is provided for the two genera Bruchia Schwaegr. and Trematodon Michaux together with a detailed revision, key to the species, illustrations and distribution maps for the five species of Trematodon now recognised in Australia. Of the nine species previously recorded for Australia, one species, T. amoenus (Müll. Hal.) Stone & Scott is endemic while T. flexipes Mitt. in Hook f. & Wilson, T. mackayi (R.Br. ter.) Broth. and T. suberectus Mitt., occur in Australia and New Zealand. Three species previously considered Australian endemics, T. baileyi Broth., T. brachyphyllus Müll. Hal. and T. longescens Müll. Hal. are now considered synonymous with the widespread T. longicollis Michx, the type species for the genus.
Redescription of the suspended aquatic Utricularia aurea Lour. (sect. Utricularia) and a new species U. adamsii for northern Australia
Authors: Jobson Richard W , Davies-Colley Taylor
Published: August 2020

Australia has seven species in Utricularia L. section Utricularia, with the habit for all members of either affixed or suspended aquatic. Of the six recognised Australian species, one is endemic, one is pantropical, three are also distributed across Asia or Papua New Guinea - with U. australis R.Br. extending into Europe, and one other, U. stellaris L.f. into Africa. We present a molecular phylogeny based on two plastid and the nuclear ITS sequences for members of the subgenus Utricularia representing U. aurea Lour. and closely allied species from across each of their distributions. The molecular phylogeny provides strong support for recognition of a new species Utricularia adamsii R.W.Jobson & Davies-Colley (Lentibulariaceae), here described as new member

of section Utricularia. This taxon was previously included within U. aurea, however, our molecular phylogeny and morphology supports a sister relationship with U. muelleri Kamienski. We provide a revised concept of

U. aurea, and a description of the new species. The morphological differences between U. adamsii, U. muelleri, U. aurea and closely related species are here discussed, and an identification key provided. Distributions and

habitat preferences of these taxa are discussed.

Balanites aegyptiaca (L.) Delile (Zygophyllaceae), is used in traditional medicine for the treatment of intestinal worms, wounds, and inflammatory diseases. The purpose of this study is to assess the anti-proliferative effect and to analyse the pro-apoptotic and cell cycle arrest activities of                     B. aegyptiaca root bark extract and fractions against colorectal cancer cells HCT-116 and HT-29. The cytotoxicity of the crude extract and fractions were evaluated by MTS assay. The most active fractionwas subjected to crystal violet assay, Hoechst staining, cell cycle arrest, and annexin V/PI assays on cancer cells to highlight its mechanisms of action. The ethyl acetate fraction demonstrated the most cytotoxic effect on HCT-116 and HT-29 with IC50 values ranging between 3 and 4 µg/mL. At 10 µg/mL in the cell cycle arrest assay, the fraction increased G1 phase by 3.83% on HCT-116 and by 8.6% on HT-29 whilst G2/M phase was decreased by 5.63% on HCT-116 and by 6.62% on HT-29. Moreover, apoptotic cells were increased by 11.4% on HCT-116. The results suggest a potential source of anticancer molecules against colorectal cancer for isolation from the ethyl acetate fraction.

Authors: Pateras E. , Morogiannis N.
Published: August 2020

Aims: To compare the anterior chamber angle values recorded by Pentacam and AS-OCT SD “Spectralis” (Heidelberg Engineering) and present the correlation between the two devices.

Sample and Study Design: A total of 50 patients were examined at the Private Ophthalmology Clinic O.M.M.A. Ophthalmological Institute. All participants volunteer to participate in this study where the data was kept anonymous. Patients aged 18-45 years without a pathological history were selected. All of them were emmetropes or with ametropia ranged ±0.75 D. There was no separation between hyperopic, myopic or emmetropic patients.

Place and Duration of Study: University of West Attica Dept Biomedical Science Course Optics & Optometry in collaboration with Private Ophthalmology Clinic O.M.M.A. during the period between January 2019 to October 2019.

Methodology: In this study, two basic structures of the eye are measured with the help of two devices of different principle of operation. Specifically, the study of the angle of the anterior chamber (ACA) as well as the depth of the chamber (ACD). The two devises are compared.

Results: The ACA for both devices had mean difference of -2,004° for the R.E. while the mean difference for L.E. was 1,986°. Pentacam arithmetic mean ACA (R.E.) was 37,638 ± 2,98° and AS-OCT “Spectralis” 35,766 ± 2,90° with Correlation coefficient 0,7063 (P<0,0001). Pentacam arithmetic mean ACA (L.E.) was 37,638 ± 2,98° and AS-OCT “Spectralis” 35,652 ± 2,79° with Correlation coefficient 0,7569 (P<0,0001). The ACD for both devices had mean difference of -0,3028 for the R.E. while the mean difference for L.E. was -0,2860. Pentacam arithmetic mean ACD (R.E.) was 3,5866 ± 0,20 and AS-OCT “Spectralis” 3,2838 ± 0,20 with Correlation coefficient 0,4201 (P=0,0024). Pentacam arithmetic mean ACD (L.E.) was 3,558 ± 0,21 and AS-OCT “Spectralis” 3,2720 ± 0,20 with Correlation coefficient 0,4023 (P=0,0038).

Conclusion: Values of ACA measured by Pentacam and AS-OCT “Spectralis” were similar within the sample population of normal eyes right and left (P<0,0001). ACD measured by Pentacam and AS-OCT “Spectralis” showed also similar results the sample population of normal eyes for the right eye (P=0,0024) and left (P=0,0038).

Information on air‐conditioning and ventilation has been continuously disseminated in response to the Japanese Government's announcement of the need for appropriate ventilation measures against the new coronavirus disease (COVID‐19), and the issuing of an emergency presidential discourse by the presidents of Engineering Societies. In this paper, we add to the information the latest knowledge on the behavior of SARS‐CoV‐2 in air, describe its diffusion characteristics in the built environment, and summarize the effects of temperature and humidity on the virus. Then we recommend varying approaches of air‐conditioning control for facility type.
Fischer–Tropsch synthesis with ethene co‐feeding: Experimental evidence of the CO‐insertion mechanism at low temperature

Published: August 2020

Experiments were performed at both normal and rather extreme Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) operating conditions over a typical cobalt‐based catalyst, with the aim of exploring if aspects of the reaction mechanism could be elucidated. The results show that CO reacted when co‐feeding C2H4 with syngas, while CO did not react with H2 in absence of C2H4, under extremely low‐temperature conditions (140°C). The adsorbed CO and C2H4 may behave as monomers and initiators, respectively, and react with each other to form long chain hydrocarbons. It suggests that the CC bond coupling precedes the CO bond dissociation, which is consistent with the CO‐insertion mechanism. C3–6 product distribution with a feed of H2/CO/C2H4 at low temperature followed the same trends in terms of normal FTS product distribution. The observed FTS‐type chain growth reaction that occurs at abnormally low temperatures (140°C) when co‐feeding C2H4 may provide new insights into the chemistry of FTS.
