A critical evaluation of sustainable stormwater management practice and policy in Dublin
Authors: Rooney John Paul , Gill Laurence
Published: April 2018

Ireland has experienced significant recent changes as to how the nation’s water and wastewater infrastructure is managed, as a result of a national water utility, Irish Water, being founded in 2013. The management of surface and foul water used to be governed by local authorities, with inherently local outlooks with respect to the prevention of both pollution and flooding. The introduction of Irish Water with a more national (and global) agenda into this traditionally locally focused service has introduced an additional layer of governance. This study has used this management structure overhaul opportunity to make a critical evaluation of current sustainable stormwater management practices and policies in Ireland, using Dublin as a case study. From a combination of structured interviews and literature review, the paper evaluates the conditions that help promote effective sustainable drainage policies and implementation against those aspects that cause such infrastructure to be merely an irrelevant add-on. The key barriers to the uptake of sustainable stormwater management practices in Ireland have been summarised as well as suggestions made as to how these can be overcome. This research has highlighted the need for the engineer to play a more visible role in such matters of public interest.
Combining hydraulic modelling with partnership working: towards practical natural flood management
Authors: Norbury Michael , Shaw David , Jones Peter
Published: April 2018

The UK government’s Future Flooding Inquiry called for more integrative methods to respond to flood risk management challenges. The 25-year plan for the environment, A Green Future (published by the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in 2018), has reiterated the requirement for integrated catchment management. There is growing acceptance that natural flood management (NFM) can complement traditional urban flood defence schemes. This paper examines the outcomes of a knowledge transfer partnership (KTP) between Waterco Consultants and the University of Liverpool which explores some of the challenges of implementing what appear to be relative simple NFM measures. Through a multidisciplinary partnership, the KTP project explored multiple delivery challenges. Using case study evidence from north-west England, the paper demonstrates the need for combining partnership working with more traditional hydraulic modelling approaches that can predict the potential flood risk reduction benefits of multiple NFM features, combined with the need to design structurally resilient interventions, so that appropriate permits can be approved. One of the key findings is that while NFM can contribute to flood risk alleviation, with multiple socio-environmental benefits, NFM can only be part of a more holistic approach. Primary evidence for hard and soft engineering measures, combined with use of automated attenuation management, could provide opportunities for more significant integrated flood risk benefits.

Published: April 2018

Este artigo tem como objetivo compreender a institucionalização e o funcionamento do Conselho de Alimentação Escolar (CAE) enquanto um conselho gestor de política pública no município de Ijuí, localizado no Noroeste do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul (RS), bem como analisar sua atuação e os desafios da gestão. O referencial teórico utilizado foi de conselhos gestores de políticas públicas na perspectiva da gestão social. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória, cuja estratégia de investigação foi o estudo de caso único, com abordagem qualitativa dos dados coletados por meio de pesquisa documental e entrevistas. Os resultados apontam a atuação do CAE em Ijuí/RS como efetiva, apesar dos entraves enfrentados. O principal desafio identificado foi quanto à recomposição de seus membros, processo que está ocorrendo com êxito. Conclui-se que a institucionalização de um CAE ocorre a partir da interação entre os diferentes órgãos que compõem um programa governamental, como no caso do PNAE, e que o seu funcionamento depende da atuação efetiva de todos os atores envolvidos.
Construindo a “Picada”: colonização florestal, capital social e obrigações comunitárias em Picada Felipe Essig, Travesseiro/RS
Authors: Relly Eduardo
Published: April 2018

A picada teuto-brasileira se constituiu historicamente a partir das colonizações florestais realizadas por comunidades oriundas da Europa de língua alemã ou de seus descendentes diretos. Neste sentido, o discurso sobre os assentamentos rurais teuto-brasileiros assumiu na historiografia uma dimensão que realçava os aspectos autossuficientes, comunitários e isolados destas mesmas comunidades diante da sociedade brasileira. Este artigo propõe repensar estas assertivas colocando em causa esta perspectiva a partir da teoria de capital social em contexto pré-modernos. Utiliza-se a Picada Felipe Essig/RS como estudo de caso para a verificação empírica dos pressupostos teóricos acima expostos. Logo, a picada teuto-brasileira aparece como uma expressão cultural atualizada do contexto de aldeia centro-europeia e surge como uma forma de organização social que embora mostre inúmeros conflitos em seu interior, apresenta, ao mesmo tempo, vetores de cooperação e institucionalização comunitária que pretenderam diminuir as complexidades do novo ambiente colonizado.

Uma pequena Europa na Serra Gaúcha: as apropriações culturais na arquitetura do espaço urbano de Gramado (RS)
Authors: Gevehr Daniel Luciano , Berti Franciele
Published: April 2018

Discute-se as apropriações culturais na arquitetura do espaço urbano de Gramado (RS). Para tanto, por meio de visita de campo, foram mapeadas 10 edificações. Na oportunidade, empregando a observação sistemática, realizou-se os registros fotográficos dos lotes em análise. Tencionando ir ao encontro da origem da difusão do estilo arquitetônico da cidade, adotou-se a coleta de dados de fonte documental, envolvendo registros de obras que narram a história do município [elaboradas por moradores de Gramado]. Os resultados evidenciaram que embora a migração italiana tenha sido mais quantitativamente mais expressiva na região, percebe-se a busca por uma identidade arquitetônica vinculada à etnia germânica. Este direcionamento da estética citadina parece estar atrelado à elite germânica que adquiriu terras em Gramado no final da década de 1930, bem como a um personagem histórico [descente de imigrantes germânicos] diretamente ligado ao setor turístico da região.

Narratives of everyday resistance from the margins
Authors: Canham H , Langa M
Published: April 2018

In this introduction and framing to this special issue on "Narratives of everyday resistance from the margins", we make the case that narrative method and practice can contribute to a radical scholarship of psychosocial praxis. Critical scholarship is after all the mainstay of the PINS (Psychology in society) tradition since its inception in 1983 (Anonymous, 2014). To continue with this tradition of this critical theorisation, we reflect on themes contained in the five papers that constitute this issue and beyond, especially in relation to how these themes also link with similar global issues. We argue for conceiving of the collection of stories as agential narratives which contribute to a decolonial scholarship by centring lives positioned on the margins of post-apartheid South Africa. The stories told here recognise that the capitalist, racist and patriarchal orders which create abjection and poverty reside alongside lives permeated by joy and the search for meaning. The hallmark of the stories is a narrative of resistance and the refusal to accept inequality and injustice. We posit that the narrative frame is humanising and enables scholars to centre the everyday as a site for illuminating "wretched making" and the different ways of saying no.
Public Policy Design and Implementation in Slovenia
Authors: Mencinger Jernej , Kovač Polonca , Jukić Tina , Vintar Mirko
Published: April 2018

Public policy design and implementation is a complex process, and so decision makers try to monitor all of the policy lifecycle stages in a particular policy domain. However, the question of coherent integration of various policy activities arises, including agenda-setting, ex-ante evaluation, formulation, decision-making, implementation, ex-post evaluation of individual policies, sector-specific ones, and even horizontal ones. Therefore, it is important to investigate and understand the reasons why an individual country, such as Slovenia, does not exploit all potential aspects of carrying out policy activities in a systematic and coherent manner. This article explores and analyzes Slovenian practice in policy design based on an in-depth empirical study among key public policyholders and decision makers. Furthermore, the authors identify the key success factors that facilitate or inhibit the development and progress of public policies, programs, and projects (PPPP) in Slovenia. The key findings indicate a particular lack of a professional policy unit to monitor the process holistically and the absence of ex-post evaluation. A need for a systemic solution in public policy design is established, which would merge different authorities’ efforts, epistemic communities, and the public in developing a structural multilevel model for good public governance.
Creating Good Administration by Persuasion: A Case Study of the Recommendations of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe
Authors: Andrijauskaitė Agnė
Published: April 2018

This contextual paper tackles a rather under-researched topic of Council of Europe’s possible impact on national administrative law. It seeks to examine how one of its instruments – Recommendations of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe – can influence national standards of administrative law and provide a systematic assessment of the diverse functions and manifestations such instruments might have in a national legal order. For these purposes, the constitutional basis of these recommendations and their main features are examined followed by a subsequent analysis of the perceived importance and various functions and implications they might have in the chosen national legal system. This paper concludes that the scope of the functions and implications these instruments are capable of having to national administrative law is wide, yet it is not without limitations.
Analysis of the Relationship of Professionals towards the Vertical Equity of the Slovenian Tax System and Its Comparison with Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and the USA
Authors: Klopčič Jelena , Klun Maja
Published: April 2018

Vertical equity states that taxpayers whose positions are not the same should be treated differently while taking into consideration all the relevant characteristics. The main purpose of using the vertical equity principle is to require the redistribution of income in a way that reduces the income inequality of the society. The presented research aims to check the opinion of Slovenian tax system professionals on the principle of vertical equity. Slovenian results have been compared to a similar analysis carried out in Croatia, and partly with survey results from Bosnia and Herzegovina and the United States of America. The results show that the professional public agrees with the principle of vertical equity in the implementation of tax systems. All of the compared countries are similarly favourable towards vertical equity. However, this is also affected by the current tax arrangements of the individual countries.

Published: April 2018

The relationships between bone turnover, the growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor-1 (GH/IGF-1) axis and vitamin D are complex, but still not fully explained. The GH/IGF-1 axis and vitamin D could modulate their metabolism mutually and influence activation of cell proliferation, maturation, and mineralization as well as bone resorption. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reciprocal associations between bone formation markers [alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP)], the GH/IGF-1 axis and 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] in children with growth hormone deficiency at baseline and during recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) therapy. ALP, BALP, 25(OH)D and IGF-1 concentrations were evaluated in 53 patients included in this prospective three-year study. ALP, BALP and IGF-1 increased during rhGH therapy. Baseline ALP correlated positively with baseline height velocity (HV). ALP and BALP at 12 months correlated positively with HV in the first year of therapy. We found positive correlations between ALP and IGF-1 at baseline and during the first year of therapy, between BALP at 12 months and rhGH dose in the first year of therapy, and between mean doses of cholecalciferol in the first year of rhGH therapy and early changes in BALP during rhGH therapy. Our results indicate that vitamin D supplementation enhances the effect of rhGH on bone formation activity, which could improve the effects of rhGH therapy. ALP and BALP are useful in early prediction of the effects of rhGH therapy, but their utility as long-term predictors is not sufficient.
INTERACTIVE FUZZY PROGRAMMING MODEL IN MULTI-OBJECTIVE INVENTORY CONTROL PROBLEM USING VARIOUS OPERATORS
Authors: Kumari Neha , Burnwal Arun Prasad
Published: April 2018

This paper deals with the interactive fuzzy programming approach for Multi Objective Inventory Control Problem (MOICP). In multi-objective optimization problem, objectives are often non-commensurable and cannot be combined into a single objective. Moreover, the objectives usually conflict with each other in that any improvement of one objective can be achieved only at the expense of another. In real world, all objectives of MOICP are not rigid. Some are rigid and some are fuzzy or all are imprecise. Fuzzy goals are defined by different membership functions through interaction with decision maker. By making the aspiration levels more flexible and by assigning different values to the normal weights to corresponding objectives functions, different solutions are determined to interact with the decision maker.

Published: April 2018

Genus Clematis is one of the largest within Ranunculaceae. Here we report the chloroplast genome of two Clematis species, C. brachyura and C. trichotoma endemic to Korea. The chloroplast genome lengths of C. brachyura and C. trichotoma are 159,532 bp and 159,170 bp, respectively. Gene contents in the complete chloroplast genomes of these two Clematis species are identical to that of most Ranunculaceae and other angiosperms. However, our data results demonstrated that genus Clematis has inversion and rearrangement events concerning gene rps4 gene, rps16 to trnH region, and trnL to ndhC region, and IR regions expansion. Comparison of IR regions among Ranunculaceae species revealed that Clematis species contained six protein coding genes (infA, rps8, rpl14, rpl16, rps3, and rpl22) usually found in the long single copy (LSC) region of other species. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that genus Clematis is closely related to genus Ranunculus. Differences in repeat structure, substitution rates, and IR expansion in genera Clematis and Ranunculus, explained their relationship. Clematis species showed slightly higher tandem repeats content than Ranunculus species. The six protein-coding genes showed lower synonymous substitution rates in the IR of Clematis species than in the LSC of Ranunculus species. Overall, the chloroplast genomes and results presented here provide important information on the evolution of Ranunculaceae.
A New Analytical Procedure to Solve Two Phase Flow in Tubes
Authors: Moschandreou Terry
Published: April 2018

A new formulation for a proposed solution to the 3D Navier-Stokes Equations in cylindrical co-ordinates coupled to the continuity and level set convection equation is presented in terms of an additive solution of the three principle directions in the radial, azimuthal and z directions of flow and a connection between the level set function and composite velocity vector for the additive solution is shown. For the case of a vertical tube configuration with small inclination angle, results are obtained for the level set function defining the interface in both the radial and azimuthal directions. It is found that the curvature dependent part of the problem alone induces sinusoidal azimuthal interfacial waves wheras when the curvature is small oscillating radial interfacial waves occur. The implications of two extremes indicate the importance of looking at the full equations including curvature.
REE and Y Mineralogy of the Krudum Granite Body (Saxothuringian Zone)
Authors: René Miloš
Published: April 2018

The Krudum granite body comprises highly fractionated granitic rocks ranging from medium-F biotite granites to high-F, high-P2O5 Li-mica granites. This unique assemblage is an ideal site to continue recent efforts in petrology to characterize the role of zircon, monazite and xenotime as hosts to REEs. The granitic rocks of the Krudum body analysed in this study were found to contain variable concentrations of monazite and zircon, while xenotime was only found in the high-F, high-P2O5 Li-mica granites and in the alkali-feldspar syenites of the Vysoký Kámen stock. For analysed monazites of all magmatic suites cheralite substitution was significant. The highest concentration of cheralite was found in monazites from the high-F, Li-mica granites and from the alkali-feldspar syenites. The proportion of YPO4 in all analysed xenotimes ranges from 71 to 84 mol. %. Some xenotimes were found to be hydrated and the observed water content estimated from analytical data ranged from 5 to 11 wt. % H2O. Analysed xenotimes were commonly enriched in HREEs (9.3– 19.5 wt. % HREE2O3) and thorite-coffinite and cheralite exchange was observed. Analysed zircons from granite suites of the Krudum granite body contained moderate Hf concentrations (1.0–4.7 wt. % HfO2; 0.010–0.047 apfu Hf). The highest concentrations of HfO2 were found in zircons from the high-F, high P2O5 Li-mica granites (1.2–4.7 wt. % HfO2) and from the alkali-feldspar syenites (1.3–4.1 wt. % HfO2). Zircons from the high-F, high-P2O5 Li-mica granites were often hydrated and fluorised. The concentrations of F in zircon from partly greisenised high-F, high-P2O5 Li-mica granites reached up to 1.2 wt. % (0.26 apfu F). In zircons from the alkali-feldspar syenites enrichment in P, which is not associated with a simultaneous enrichment in Y + REE, was also observed. Analysed zircons from the high-F, high P2O5 Li-mica granites were enriched in Y (up to 5.5 wt. % Y2O3; 0.10 apfu Y) and Sc (up to 1.17 wt. % Sc2O3; 0.03 apfu Sc).

Potential Geographic Distribution of Palmer Amaranth under Current and Future Climates
Authors: Kistner Erica J. , Hatfield Jerry L.
Published: April 2018

Core Ideas

CLIMEX model projections match known Palmer amaranth distribution.

Sub‐Sahara Africa and Australia are at risk for Palmer amaranth establishment.

Future climate scenarios indicate the potential for poleward range expansion.

Herbicide‐resistant weeds are increasingly becoming a major challenge for agricultural production worldwide. Palmer amaranth [Amaranthus palmeri (S.) Wats.] is an invasive annual forb that has recently emerged as one of the most widespread and severe agronomic weeds in the United States, due in part to its facility for evolving herbicide resistance. It has invaded several parts of the world, including key agricultural production regions in South America. Climate change will likely exacerbate the challenges of managing this species. To assess this, we developed a process‐oriented bioclimatic niche model of Palmer amaranth to examine its potential global distribution under current conditions and future climate scenarios. The model agreed well with all credible current distribution data. Projected future increases in temperatures will expand potential Palmer amaranth range northward into portions of Canada and Europe. Model projections under current and future climates highlight several agricultural production regions of increasing and emerging risk from this weed.
Site‐Specific Covariates Affecting Yield Response to Nitrogen of Late‐Sown Maize in Central Argentina
Authors: Coyos Tomás , Borrás Lucas , Gambin Brenda L.
Published: April 2018

Core Ideas

We used linear mixed effects models to explore maize yield response to applied N.

Final models accurately described the observed data (R2 = 0.93).

Best models indicated that yield response to applied N depended on soil N and soil type.

Information is useful to optimize management decisions on N fertilizer rates.

Resulting models are better than traditional ones based on ordinary least squares.

Optimizing fertilizer rates is a common problem in modern agriculture. Frequently used response models ignore basic statistical assumptions and do not allow quantifying the effects of variables influencing yield response to fertilizer, generating uncertainty in fertilizer rate recommendations. We used linear mixed‐effects models to explore maize (Zea mays L.) yield response to applied nitrogen (N) in late sowings, and we tested different predictors for explaining yield responses across sites. Data included yield response trials to applied N at 17 different environments (combination site × year) with four to five N rates replicated twice in each trial. The best model (Model A) that included significant effect of N rate applied, sowing date, and soil N‐NO3 at sowing described grain yield variations with high accuracy (R2 = 0.93). Another best model (Model B) showed that soil type as additional variable affected significantly yield response to applied N. The final model indicated that the overall response across sites was characterized by a linear coefficient of 67 kg grain ha−1 per additional kg N ha−1 applied and a quadratic coefficient of −0.37 kg grain ha−1 per additional kg N ha−1 applied. Across all sites, soil N‐NO3 at sowing (explored range from 34 to 356 kg N ha−1) explained 46% of the variability in the linear yield response to applied N. We proposed a method and generated statistical models with site specific covariates that can help optimize farmers’ decisions on the use of optimal N fertilizer rates.
