Non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) accumulation and photosynthesis traits were studied in two rice (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes maintained under control (22/30 °C - night/day) and at high night temperatures (HNT) (28/30 °C) conditions from heading to milk stage. Rice cultivars were Nagina22 - N22 and BRS Querência - Quer, which are tolerant and sensitive to high temperatures, respectively. The source-sink flow related attributes were tested to understand the nature of NSC accumulation and translocation. Compared to N22, Quer maintained higher stem starch in glucose on seventh day after heading and at milk stage independently of imposed temperatures. However, the levels of starch in glucose were lower for N22 meanwhile their total sugar concentration (TSC) were higher at control and at HNT at milk stage as compared to Quer. N22 maintained unaltered the spikelet sterility and 1000-grain weight across environments showing a consistent trend with its stem NSC translocation. Both genotypes showed similarity in some gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence performance suggesting unaffected photosystem II photochemistry, linear electron flux, and CO2 assimilation. Beyond indicating that source functioning was not the limiting factor for low TSC and starch in glucose levels found in N22 on seventh day after heading stage. Moreover, our data suggest that the higher translocation capacity shown by N22 can be involved in their lower spikelet sterility and 1000-grain weight stability across the environments. These results indicate that selecting genotypes with higher capacity to stem NSC translocation at HNT could lead to more grain yield stability in future climate scenarios.

El discurso de la utilidad y esencialidad mantiene el imaginario del SAMU como un servicio que no puede ni parar ni fallar. Conclusión: este análisis más reflexivo y crítico del SAMU muestra la necesidad de superar las descripciones de los servicios de salud, reconociendo la presencia cotidiana de las relaciones de poder y la perpetuación de los discursos hegemónicos.
Lip muscle training improves obstructive sleep apnea and objective sleep: a case report
Authors: Suzuki Hiroshi , Yoshimiura Mayuko , Iwata Yoshihiro , Oguchi Sumito , Kawara Misao , Chow Chin-Moi
Published: November 2017

The present study assessed the potential of lip muscle training for improving sleep. A patient with heavy snoring, daytime sleepiness and dry mouth underwent lip muscle training. Lip closure force LCFmax increased by 67.3% and LCFmin by 152% post-training. AHI decreased from 12.2 to 3.9 events/h by reducing hypopneic episodes. TST, sleep stage N3 and REM sleep increased, and WASO, sleep stage N1, and AI decreased. The patient switched from mouth to nose breathing during sleep and stopped snoring. Improved LCF, by moving the tongue into the anterior-superior oral cavity, may increase upper airway space and reduce the hypopnea index.
What wrist should you wear your actigraphy device on? Analysis of dominant vs. non-dominant wrist actigraphy for measuring sleep in healthy adults
Authors: Driller Matthew William , O'Donnell Shannon , Tavares Francisco
Published: November 2017

OBJECTIVE: Differences in sleep results due to the placement of actigraphy devices (non-dominant vs. dominant wrist) are yet to be determined.

METHODS: 65 nights of data from 13 adult participants was collected while participants wore two actigraphy devices, one on each wrist. Sleep indices including total sleep time (TST), total time in bed (TTB), sleep efficiency (SE%), sleep latency (SL), wake after sleep onset (WASO), sleep onset time (SOT) and wake time (WT) were assessed between the two devices.

RESULTS: There were no significant differences between devices for any of the measured sleep variables (p>0.05). SE%, SL and WASO resulted in high correlations between devices (0.89, 0.89 and 0.76, respectively), with all other sleep variables resulting in very high correlations (>0.90) between devices.

CONCLUSIONS: Based on our results, it does not seem critical which wrist the actigraphy device is worn on for measuring key sleep variables.
Water Conservation Benefits of Long‐Term Residential Irrigation Restrictions in Southwest Florida
Authors: Boyer Mackenzie J. , Dukes Michael D. , Duerr Isaac , Bliznyuk Nikolay
Published: November 2017

Long‐term watering restrictions for single‐family residential customers in southwest Florida coincided with lower irrigation. Irrigation demand (landscape water applied) was estimated from monthly water billing records of approximately 127,250 customers from 1998 to 2010. Mean monthly irrigation demands under restrictions that limited irrigation to two days/week and one day/week were calculated for each customer and summed to yield annual irrigation demands. Annual irrigation demand was 13% lower (9.8 versus 11.3 in./year), while the irrigation required by the landscape as a result of weather conditions was 3% higher (25.7 versus 25.0 in./year) under the more stringent restrictions. The majority of customers irrigated less than their landscape required. High irrigators (those irrigating above what their landscape required) irrigated 20% less (10.2 in./year) under the more stringent conditions, indicating that those who irrigated most had the highest conservation potential. Additional conservation potential existed for high irrigators, whose irrigation demand exceeded landscape requirements by 56% under one day/week restrictions.
Anotaciones manuscritas en bibliotecas de autor. Propuesta de etiquetado y de publicación digital
Authors: Losada Palenzuela José Luis
Published: November 2017

En los libros que pertenecieron a Arthur Schopenhauer, entre ellos, sus libros españoles, se encuentran anotaciones manuscritas, marcas de lectura, glosas y dibujos.  Nos referimos a un tipo de específico de anotación conocida en inglés como author’s marginalia. Muy pocos se editan debido a la complejidad de una edición; incluso en el creciente mundo digital suponen un reto, pues casi siempre van unidas al contexto en el que surgen, la materialidad del libro. Este artículo ofrece una propuesta general que busca justificar su utilidad, los criterios de etiquetado elegidos (XML/TEI) y el entorno de publicación (Drupal implementado con el modulo TEICHI)

En algunas ocasiones, el hablante que interviene activamente y de forma escrita en el debate político y social que tiene lugar en la Red provoca un acto comunicativo fallido, al dar prioridad a su deseo de expresarse sin prestar atención a los parámetros lingüísticos y discursivos que dotan de eficacia a estos intercambios. El trabajo que presentamos pretende contribuir a la mejora de las estrategias de comunicación de los actores sociales. Para ello, desarrollaremos un análisis teórico y aplicado de las estrategias lingüísticas y comunicativas definitorias de la argumentación, que haga posible el diseño y desarrollo de una herramienta informática, OpinionText TIP, con la que el usuario pueda llevar a cabo un análisis de su propia producción argumentativa basándose en parámetros objetivables y mensurables, de modo que aumenten las posibilidades de que su texto logre la adhesión de sus lectores.
Digital Humanities and the Common Good. The case of Entiendelo
Authors: Binotti Lucia , Urioste Azcorra Carmen
Published: November 2017

Entiendelo. An App Helping Latin@s and their Advocates Navigate Stressful Linguistic and Cultural Situations is based on the idea that language should not be the last frontier to a good quality of life. The app contains three essential parts, all of them connected: 1) a glossary that aims to collect all Hispanic-American and US Latino variants of keywords associated with violence and healing, along with an urban dictionary that contains literary excerpts and authentic street sentences; 2) an interactive bilingual collection of inspirational quotes; 3) an interactive bilingual game, based on the model of Spent, where players are faced with the dilemmas of being a monolingual speaker in situations where their lack of diglossic dominance becomes a hindrance.
From Ancient Texts to Maps (and Back Again) in the Digital World. The DigilibLT Project
Authors: Borgna Alice
Published: November 2017

Greek and Latin have long played a central role in the intellectual life of the West, but recent statistics indicate this role is now in jeopardy. This paper suggests how the interaction between Classics and Digital Humanities might help to reverse this negative trend: starting from the case-study of DigilibLT, the Digital Library of Late Antique Latin Texts, I will explain some of the process behind building a digital library and show how digital projects of this sort can create a feedback loop that not only revives Classics Programs in universities, but also generates new projects and new receptions of the Classics within digital media.
Glivne okužbe pri bolnikih s cistično fibrozo
Authors: Tomazin Rok , Matos Tadeja
Published: November 2017

In the last two decades prevalence of fungal infections is increasing for various reasons. One of them is the advance of medical science and the associated longer life expectancy in some patient groups. This includes cystic fibrosis patients who encounter fungal diseases already in their childhood. Fungal pathogens isolated in high frequencies from the respiratory tract include Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida albicans and Scedosporium apiospermum. In the case of cystic fibrosis, these organisms normaly colonise the respiratory and intestinal mucosae and can cause hipersensitivity reactions and invasive diseases. The fungus-patient interactions are complex and depend on several diﬀerent factors which determine what course will the colonisation/infection take.

Background: Te increased prevalence of iron defciency anemia represents a global public health issue which can be reduced by early diagnosis of pre-iron defcient states. Clinical utility of biochemical indices for iron defciency diagnosis is limited due to the inﬂuence of inﬂammation. Erythrocyte and reticulocyte indices, reticulocyte hemoglobin content, and percentage of hypochromic red cells have been extensively used in diagnosing diﬀerent iron-defcient conditions. Te aim of our study was to compare the utility of erythrocyte and reticulocyte indices provided by diﬀerent hematology analyzers for the diagnosis of iron defciency.Methods: 186 people, 25 patients with iron defciency anemia, 103 patients with chronic kidney disease, and 58 healthy donors were included in our study. Teir whole blood samples were analyzed using two diﬀerent automated analyzers, XN-1000, Sysmex and Advia 120, Siemens Bayer Diagnostics, to compare reticulocyte and erythrocyte indices.Results: Linear correlation between indices for hemoglobin reticulocyte content (Ret-He and CHr) has been confrmed while correlation between both erythrocyte indices (Hypo-He and %HYPO) can be described by 2nd degree polynomial. Cut-oﬀ value for the diagnosis of iron defciency for Ret-He was established at < 28.2 pg and for Hypo-He at > 1.6 % and showed high diagnostic sensitivity (RetHe = 76 %; Hypo-He = 72 %) and specifcity (100 %).Conclusions: Reticulocyte indices Ret-He and CHr are directly comparable and can be used for latent iron defciency evaluation. Although erythrocyte indices Hypo-He and %HYPO are not exchangeable, both can be used for long-term iron defciency evaluation. Additionally, we determined reference intervals for Hypo-He and Ret-He.

Zdravljenje jugularnih paragangliomov v UKC Maribor
Authors: Rebol Janez , Lanišnik Boštjan , Ravnik Janez , Jevšek Marko , Ložar Miha
Published: November 2017

Background: Jugular paragangliomas are rare, almost exclusively benign and slowly growing tumors. Arising from the cells of paraganglia in jugular bulb, they infiltrate the temporal bone and later grow intracranially. Because of insidious onset, their diagnosis is relatively late. Patients at presentation usually complain of pulsatile tinnitus and hearing loss, lasting for years. Also common are palsies of the cranial nerves in the area of tumor growth – i.e., facial, glossopharyngeal, vagal, accessory and hypoglossal nerves. Surgical resection is the standard treatment, though technically demanding because of difficult approach to the lateral cranial base and vital structures in the area. The team for treating such patients comprises an ENT specialist, interventional radiologist and a neurosurgeon. The purpose of this article is to review clinical experiences with the treatment of jugular paragangliomas at our Department of ENT and Maxillofacial Surgery of the University Medical Centre Maribor.Methods: We reviewed the documentation of ten patients treated for jugular paraganglioma in the last 15 years, and presented the clinical data in a table.Results: Nine patients were treated by preoperative embolization and surgical resection. Surgery was contraindicated in one patient with highly dominant venous drainage on the side of the tumor and aplastic transverse sinus on the opposite side. She was treated by primary radiotherapy. One patient with intracranial tumor growth was treated by subtotal resection and adjuvant radiotherapy. At presentation, lower cranial nerve palsies were present in 60 % of our patients. With the other 40 % we managed to preserve the nerve function postoperatively. Facial nerve function practically normalized in all patients with anterior transposition of the nerve. Our patients were provided with postoperative rehabilitation and corrective procedures such as vocal cord medialization and BAHA hearing aid implantation.Discussion: Despite the risks, the surgical treatment is eﬀective in halting the disease and preserving cranial nerve function. The results of our work demonstrate that our patients are provided with a thorough and comprehensive care.

Authors: Hernández Liechti Alicia
Published: November 2017

Resumen: Este artículo trata de la primera generación de verdaderos nativos digitales en Europa, nacidos en torno al año 2000 y que en la actualidad asisten a los institutos de secundaria. Son diferentes a los de generaciones anteriores debido sobre todo al impacto que la tecnología ha tenido en sus vidas, pero la mayoría sigue sistemas educativos desfasados, diseñados para alumnos del siglo pasado. Muchos profesores intentan adaptarse a la nueva situación incorporando las TIC en sus cursos. La autora analiza el proceso de creación de un telediario, actividad realizada en el marco de un proyecto piloto de uso de los Ipad en los cursos de E/LE. Este proyecto obtuvo el Primer Premio del concurso a la Mejor práctica docente de E/LE basada en las TIC convocado por la Editorial Difusión/Prolinter en 2017, con la colaboración del Instituto Cervantes y el patrocinio de SIELE y FEDELE.  Palabras clave:  E/LE con Ipads, nativos digitales, enfoque por proyectos, tarea final. Abstract: This article concerns the first generation of true digital natives in Europe, children born in 2000, who, today, attend colleges or secondary schools. They are different to the previous generations due to the important impact of technology on their lives. However, they are compelled to attend schools with an outdated educational system designed for the older generations. Some teachers try to adapt themselves to the new situation by incorporating the ICT. The Spanish teacher at the LFZ therefore analyzes in this article the elaboration process of a newscast, whilst using the school iPads with her students of second year of Spanish. This video was presented at a well-known contest amongst language teachers, where the best teaching practice of Spanish as a foreign language based on the use of ICT is selected, and won the first prize in March 2017.  Keywords: S/FL, digital natives, S/FL with Ipads, Task-based language learning.

El uso del diccionario como componente estratégico en las clases de ele para alumnado sinohablante
Authors: Iglesia Martín Sandra , Gibert Escofet María Isabel
Published: November 2017

Resumen: El diccionario cumple una función importante en el proceso de aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera (Lew, 2016).  Cuando un alumno sinohablante está aprendiendo español ve la necesidad de usar el diccionario para verificar la ortografía o el significado de las palabras que desconoce (Tungmen Tu, 2010). Esto se evidencia en el hecho de que cuando un alumno llega a clase siempre trae consigo un diccionario.  Los objetivos principales de este estudio son: (1) hacer  un  diagnóstico  del  uso  que  los estudiantes  sinohablantes  hacen  de  los  diccionarios  en  clase; y (2) analizar la percepción que tienen dichos estudiantes de las ventajas y desventajas que representa el diccionario en el aula de lengua. En las conclusiones del trabajo se propone una línea de actuación docente en el ámbito del  componente  estratégico  para  optimizar  el  uso  de  diccionarios monolingües  y  bilingües  en  clase.Palabras clave: ELE, sinohablantes, diccionarios, competencia estratégica Abstract: The dictionary plays an important role in the learning process of a foreign language (Lew, 2016). The need to use the dictionary to verify the spelling or the meaning of the words that the Chinese student does not know when s/he is learning Spanish is beyond doubt (Tungmen Tu, 2012). The fact that when a student arrives in class s/he always brings a dictionary is an evidence. The main objectives of this study are: (1) to make a diagnosis of Chinese students dictionary use in class; and (2) analyze the students' perception of the advantages and disadvantages of the dictionary in the language classroom. In the conclusions of the work, a teaching approach is proposed in the scope of the strategic component to optimize the use of monolingual and bilingual dictionaries in class.Key words: ELE, Spanish, Chinese learners, dictionary, strategic competence.

La competencia textual y mediática en el aula de ELE
Authors: Ulloa Saceda Marta , Tesch Bernd
Published: November 2017

Resumen: La habilidad de comprender y producir textos es una de las competencias básicas en la sociedad de la información y de la comunicación (OECD, 2000). Sin embargo, el concepto texto ha evolucionado adquiriendo una versatilidad que rebasa la concepción tradicional de texto escrito. Para superar este desfase al que la competencia lectora o las destrezas en la comprensión y/o expresión oral no llegan, se propone desde Alemania el término competencia textual y mediática[1]. La finalidad de esta comunicación es reflexionar sobre la importancia de esta nueva competencia y dotar al profesorado de herramientas en el tratamiento de la competencia textual en el aula de ELE. Para ello, presentaremos un modelo bidimensional de competencia textual y mediática: la que el alumnado debe adquirir y la competencia didáctica que el profesorado debe poseer.Palabras clave: texto, competencia textual y mediática, elaboración de tareas Abstract: The ability to understand and produce texts is one of the basic competences in the information and communication society (OECD, 2000). However, the concept text has evolved beyond the traditional conception of written text. In order to overcome this gap, a new competence, the textual and medial competence is proposed. The purpose of this communication is to reflect on the importance of this new competence and to provide the teaching staff with tools in the treatment of the textual competence in the classroom. For this we present a bidimensional model of textual and medial competence: the one that students must acquire and the didactic textual competence that teachers must have.Keywords: text, textual and medial competence, task design[1] En alemán, Text- und Medienkompetenz.

RAZVOJ BANJSKO REKREATIVNO ZDRAVSTVENOG TURIZMA U REPUBLICI SRPSKOJ KAO MOGUĆNOST ZA STRANE ULAGAČE
Authors: Segić Slavko
Published: November 2017

Banjsko rekreativni zdravstveni turizam je bio i ostao kao fenomen potreba ljudi, ali još nedovoljno obrađen u stručnoj literaturi zbog mnogih sukoba važnost pojedinih funkcija uopšte u turizmu. Članak pokušava ovu prazninu djelimično rasvjetliti jasnijim definisanjem banjsko rekreativno zdravstvenog turizma na naučnoj i stručnoj osnovi, sa svojim specifičnostima u rehabilitaciji, profilaksi i medicinsko programiranim aktivnim odmorom. Uvažavane su i sve funkcije turizma, a posebno je apostrofirana zdravstvena, jer je ona osnovni pokretač turista.  Nastojanja su da se okruženju i Evropskoj uniji ponudi dvanaest raspoloživih termalno mineralnih resursa sa postojećom infra strukturom kao osnovu za investiciona ulaganja uz mogućnost brzog povratka uloženih sredstava i stvaranje mogućnosti intezivnog zapošljavanja domicilnog stanovništva.Takođe, pokušava se dokazati da ulaganja i razvoj banjsko rekreativno zdravstvenih centara, u našim ekonomskim uslovima, mogu znatno pospješiti i ubrzati razvoj privrede Republike Srpskse sa stanovišta izvoza usluga. Vjerovatnoća je tada velika da će turizam imati niži kapitalni koeficijent u ovome procesu od ukupne privrede i treba da postane snažna propulzivna djelatnost u odnosu prema cjelokupnoj ekonomiji Republike.
Protection of Property Rights in the Law of Republika Srpska / Zaštita prava svojine u pravu Republike Srpske
Authors: Medić Duško
Published: November 2017

Property right as the most extensive legally recognized ownership on things has also wide-ranging legal protection. The author deals with the issue of the protection of the property rights in accordance with the Republika Srpska Law of Proprietary Rights. This Law distinguishes property claim for return on things (rei vindicatio), hypothetical property claim, (actio Publiciana) and claim for intrusion or disturbance (actio negatoria). The aforementioned claims also existed in the Roman legislation. Principles regarding protection of the property rights, mostly apply to the protection of rights of co-owners and joint proprietors.
Guilty Plea Agreement in Proceedings Before the International Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia / Sporazum o priznanju krivice u postupku pred međunarodnim krivičnim tribunalom za bivšu jugoslaviju
Authors: Janković Radenko
Published: November 2017

Guilty plea agreement is a new legal concept in the criminal procedure legislation of Bosnia and Herzegovina that was accepted under foreign influences. While frequently applied, a number of contentious issues still remain. To resolve them it is necessary to study the agreement in other legislations. A special place here belongs to the procedure and practice of The Hague Tribunal and the Office of the Prosecution that influenced its standardization in Bosnia and Herzegovina. As a result, certain solutions are specific and do not exist in legislations of other countries of the former Yugoslavia such as, for instance, a separate hearing for the imposition of criminal sanction following the agreement’s acceptance. At the time of its introduction in the Bosnia and Herzegovina legislation, the Statute and the Rules of the Hague Tribunal were well-known, just like the practice created in proceedings before it and the Hague Office of the Prosecution. The majority of indictees before the Hague Tribunal were citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with many lawyers from Bosnia and Herzegovina acting as defence counsels. An examination of this issue contributes to a better understating of this principle, enables more proper application, but should, also, lead to better legal solutions.
Odgovornost pravnih lica za prekršaj / Misdemeanor Liability of Legal Entities
Authors: Mitrović Ljubinko
Published: November 2017

According to the provisions of the newest Law on Misdemeanors of the Republic of Srpska, for misdemeanor offence the following categories of rights holders can be held responsible: physical body, (independent) entrepreneur/contractor, legal body, responsible person within the legal body and responsible person within the state authority, republic authority and local self-government authority units. Against the listed offenders different misdemeanor offence sanctions can be applied (under Article 36 of the mentioned Law), thus, the legal body, under legally provided conditions, can be sanctioned for misdemeanor offence as follows: monetary fine, measure of warning, protective measures involving object confiscation and prohibition to perform a business activity, along with non-penal measures involving property gains seizure and damage recovery. Liability of legal bodies for misdemeanors perpetrated, in the same way as it is foreseen in criminal justice, is based on so-called, objective liability, that is, the fact that a misdemeanor was caused and causal relations between the misdemeanor action and consequence of that action. Liability of legal persons for perpetrated misdemeanor are elaborated in this paper.

Published: November 2017

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are a rapidly growing area for research and commercial development with very wide range of applications. Using WSNs many critical events like fire can be detected earlier to prevent loosing human lives and heavy structural damages. Integration of soft computing techniques on sensor nodes, like fuzzy logic, neural networks and data mining, can significantly lead to improvements of critical events detection possibility. Using data mining techniques in process of patterns discovery in large data sets it’s not often so easy. A several algorithms must be applied to application before a suitable algorithm for selected data types can be found. Therefore, the selection of a correct data mining algorithm depends on not only the goal of an application, but also on the compatibility of the data set. This paper focuses on comparative analysis of various data mining techniques and algorithms and in that purpose three different experiments on WSN fire detection data are proposed and performed. The primary goal was to see which of them has the best classification accuracy of fuzzy logic generated data and is the most appropriate for a particular application of fire detection.

Published: November 2017

A review of the literature dealing with the electrochemical corrosion of copper and its alloys with purpose to find the most suitable inhibitor for its protection has been done. According to their chemical composition of corrosion inhibitors are divided into inorganic and organic inhibitors. Inhibition of alloying metals are possible (such as the addition of arsenic alloy components in brass, preventing its unzincanization). The paper reviews the theoretical basis of application of inhibitors to protect metals from corrosion as well as an overview of current research application of inhibitors to protect copper and copper alloys. Benzotriazole (BTA) is most often used corrosion inhibitor for copper and its alloys in acidic and alkaline solution, because of its high inhibition efficiency. The lowest concentration of inhibitor for protection of copper in various solutions was 0.05%, and for the protection of copper in contact with steel is 0.1%. On the surface of copper and brass BTA forms a protective Cu-BTA film. However, BTA is like many other synthesized organic inhibitors is very toxic and if used in very small concentrations. It turned out that the AETD, AETDA and PTAT good corrosion inhibitors of copper mixed type with the efficiency of inhibition increases with concentration. Due to the adverse effects on the environment, health and other bodies in recent times the focus of research is transferred to the inhibiting action of biological molecules or mixtures of natural compounds called „Green inhibitors“.

The study examined catalytic conversion of diethyl ether in a gas phase in the static system on the synthetic mordenite (NaM) and the mordenite which the bivalent cobalt cation was introduced into (CoM). The reaction was observed in the temperature range from 424 K to 653 K, and the reaction products on both catalysts were ethene and water, and on NaM a small quantity of butene.The reaction of diethyl ether dehydration in the observed temperature interval is accelerate in time. The initial reaction is registered at the very beginning of the reaction followed by the water occurrence. The water originating from the reaction is generated on the surface of the zeolite catalyst the active centers that is favorable for the dehydration reaction. With the temperature growth the initial period on NaM catalyst gradually disappears and the reaction becomes the first order reaction (temperature is 653 K), while on CoM catalyst the initial period is registered at all observed temperatures. The explanation of the role of water in the occurrence of active centers needed for diethyl ether hydrolysis was obtained by experiments in which water was also added to the reaction mixture of diethyl ether – catalyst.

Published: November 2017

The countries in the Balkan region report an increase in the number of tourist arrivals and spending but the question that remains is if their overall tourism industry is efficient. Using the methodology data envelopment analysis, this paper analyzes the efficiency of the tourism industry in the Balkans at the macro level. Eleven countries in the Balkan region were included in the research, namely Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, and Turkey. The period of observation was six years (2010-2015). Two inputs and two outputs were selected. Visitor exports and domestic travel and tourism spending were inputs, while travel and tourism total contribution to GDP and employment were outputs. According to the obtained results, there was no country that was efficient in every year in every window, and it was found that the most efficient country in the whole observed period is Albania, while the least efficient country is Montenegro.

Authors: Ghaphery Jimmy , Byrd Sam , Miller Hillary
Published: November 2017

INTRODUCTION There is a growing body of accepted author manuscripts (AAMs) in national, professional, and institutional repositories. This study seeks to explore librarian attitudes about AAMs and in what contexts they should be recommended. Particular attention is paid to differences between the attitudes of librarians whose primary job responsibilities are within the field of scholarly communications as opposed to the rest of the profession. METHODS An Internet survey was sent to nine different professional listservs, asking for voluntary anonymous participation. RESULTS This study finds that AAMs are considered an acceptable source by many librarians, with scholarly communications librarians more willing to recommend AAMs in higher-stakes contexts such as health care and dissertation research. DISCUSSION Librarian AAM attitudes are discussed, with suggestions for future research and implications for librarians.
Lowland extirpation of anuran populations on a tropical mountain
Authors: Campos-Cerqueira Marconi , Aide T. Mitchell
Published: November 2017

Background

Climate change and infectious diseases threaten animal and plant species, even in natural and protected areas. To cope with these changes, species may acclimate, adapt, move or decline. Here, we test for shifts in anuran distributions in the Luquillo Mountains (LM), a tropical montane forest in Puerto Rico by comparing species distributions from historical (1931–1989)and current data (2015/2016).

Methods

Historical data, which included different methodologies, were gathered through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and published literature, and the current data were collected using acoustic recorders along three elevational transects.

Results

In the recordings, we detected the 12 native frog species known to occur in LM. Over a span of ∼25 years, two species have become extinct and four species suffered extirpation in lowland areas. As a consequence, low elevation areas in the LM (<300 m) have lost at least six anuran species.

Discussion

We hypothesize that these extirpations are due to the effects of climate change and infectious diseases, which are restricting many species to higher elevations and a much smaller area. Land use change is not responsible for these changes because LM has been a protected reserve for the past 80 years. However, previous studies indicate that (1) climate change has increased temperatures in Puerto Rico, and (2)Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd)was found in 10 native species and early detection of Bd coincides with anurans declines in the LM. Our study confirms the general impressions of amphibian population extirpations at low elevations, and corroborates the levels of threat assigned by IUCN.
On a parthenogenetic population of Artemia (Crustacea, Branchiopoda) from Algeria (El-Bahira, Sétif)
Authors: Amarouayache Mounia , Belakri Naim
Published: November 2017

The brine shrimp Artemia is a small crustacean of hypersaline lakes which is commonely used in larviculture. There are parthenogenetic forms and bisexual species. The formers are from the Old World, and are the most widespread. They are known to prefer high temperatures and relatively stable environments, they are more fertile than sexual species and usually reproduce by ovoviviparity. The parthenogenetic population of Artemia from El-Bahira Lake (10 ha area), situated in the High Plateaus of Northeastern Algeria (1034 m alt), has been characterized and surveyed during two hydroperiods of 2009 and 2013. It has been found to develop only in cold seasons (winter and spring), even if the lake doesn’t dry in summer, and salinities between 46 and 127 ppt. It reproduces by oviparity and produces few cysts (5.69 ± 3.6 and 98.00 ±  28.32 offsprings/brood). Indeed, it behaves more like bisexual Mediterranean populations of A. salina than other parthenogenetic populations. Individual density was much lower during the hydroperiod of 2013, whereas fecundity was higher than in the previous hydroperiod (2009). Cyst reserve was estimated at 133.13 kg of dry weight which corresponds to a rate of 13.31 kg.ha-1
