Unravelling the diversity of the lichen genus Porina (Porinaceae) in Mauritius
Authors: Ertz Damien , Diederich Paul
Published: March 2022

Background and aims – Despite the publication of a recent checklist for Mauritius, a small archipelago in the south-western Indian Ocean, our knowledge of the lichen flora of this region remains incomplete. The present contribution is part of an ongoing study of lichen diversity of the islands of Mauritius and Rodrigues. It aims to unravel the diversity of the genus Porina s.l. on these islands and to improve the taxonomy and the phylogeny of the family Porinaceae following the morphological study and the sequencing of recently collected material.Material and methods – Lichens were collected in 2016 and 2019 in a range of environments, from lowland dry habitats up to dense evergreen upland forests on the islands of Mauritius and Rodrigues. In total, 85 samples of Porina were examined using light microscopy. A molecular study using mtSSU sequences was performed in order to investigate the phylogenetic position of the species of Porina occurring in the study area.Key results – The analyses revealed the presence of 23 species of Porina s.l. in Mauritius, while only four were previously accepted for this country. Five new species are described: Porina covidii, P. griffithsii, P. mauritiana, P. nuculoides, and P. rupicola, while two sterile species remain unidentified. The mtSSU phylogenetic tree includes 19 of the 23 species occurring in Mauritius. These species are dispersed throughout the phylogenetic tree, in at least eight main and strongly supported lineages, suggesting multiple colonizations of Mauritius. A new lineage only including Paleotropical and mainly foliicolous species (P. epiphylloides, P. longispora, P. mauritiana, and P. mazosioides) is revealed. Pseudosagedia crocynioides, a species that was previously known only from Florida, is newly reported from Mauritius, highlighting a remarkable disjunct distribution. Photos of each taxon are provided, along with an identification key to all species.Conclusion – The study of the genus Porina in Mauritius highlights a rich flora. The true diversity of Porina species in the south-western Indian Ocean is certainly underestimated and in need of further investigation, while a taxonomic-phylogenetic revision of tropical Porina at a broader geographical scale is highly desirable. The identity of several Mauritian specimens remains uncertain despite the use of molecular data.

Abstract. Land use and land cover (LULC) mapping are of paramount importance to monitor and understand the structure and dynamics of the Earth system. One of the most promising ways to create accurate global LULC maps is by building good quality state-of-the-art machine learning models. Building such models requires large and global datasets of annotated time series of satellite images, which are not available yet.
This paper presents TimeSpec4LULC (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5913554; Khaldi et al., 2022), a smart open-source global dataset of multispectral time series for 29 LULC classes ready to train machine learning models. TimeSpec4LULC was built based on the seven spectral bands of the MODIS sensors at 500 m resolution, from 2000 to 2021, and was annotated using spatial–temporal agreement across the 15 global LULC products available in Google Earth Engine (GEE).
The 22-year monthly time series of the seven bands were created globally by (1) applying different spatial–temporal quality assessment filters on MODIS Terra and Aqua satellites; (2) aggregating their original 8 d temporal granularity into monthly composites; (3) merging Terra + Aqua data into a combined time series; and (4) extracting, at the pixel level, 6 076 531 time series of size 262 for the seven bands along with a set of metadata: geographic coordinates, country and departmental divisions, spatial–temporal consistency across LULC products, temporal data availability, and the global human modification index.
A balanced subset of the original dataset was also provided by selecting 1000 evenly distributed samples from each class such that they are representative of the entire globe.
To assess the annotation quality of the dataset, a sample of pixels, evenly distributed around the world from each LULC class, was selected and validated by experts using very high resolution images from both Google Earth and Bing Maps imagery.
This smartly, pre-processed, and annotated dataset is targeted towards scientific users interested in developing various machine learning models, including deep learning networks, to perform global LULC mapping.

Published: March 2022

Abstract. Most land surface models can, depending on the simulation experiment, calculate the vegetation distribution and dynamics internally by making use of
biogeographical principles or use vegetation maps to prescribe spatial and temporal changes in vegetation distribution. Irrespective of whether
vegetation dynamics are simulated or prescribed, it is not practical to represent vegetation across the globe at the species level because of its
daunting diversity. This issue can be circumvented by making use of 5 to 20 plant functional types (PFTs) by assuming that all species within a
single functional type show identical land–atmosphere interactions irrespective of their geographical location. In this study, we hypothesize that
remote-sensing-based assessments of aboveground biomass can be used to constrain the process in which real-world vegetation is discretized in PFT
maps. Remotely sensed biomass estimates for Africa were used in a Bayesian framework to estimate the probability density distributions of woody,
herbaceous and bare soil fractions for the 15 land cover classes, according to the United Nations Land Cover
Classification System (UN-LCCS) typology, present in Africa. Subsequently, the 2.5th
and 97.5th percentiles of the probability density distributions were used to create 2.5 % and 97.5 % credible interval PFT maps. Finally,
the original and constrained PFT maps were used to drive biomass and albedo simulations with the Organising Carbon and Hydrology In Dynamic Ecosystems (ORCHIDEE) model. This study demonstrates that
remotely sensed biomass data can be used to better constrain the share of dense forest PFTs but that additional information on bare soil fraction is
required to constrain the share of herbaceous PFTs. Even though considerable uncertainties remain, using remotely sensed biomass data enhances the
objectivity and reproducibility of the process by reducing the dependency on expert knowledge and allows assessing and reporting the credible
interval of the PFT maps which could be used to benchmark future developments.

Encapsulated Bleb and Fibrous Ingrowth in the Ahmed Glaucoma Valve System and Bleb Revision with Mitomycin-C
Authors: Jeong Hyo Chan , Lee Won June
Published: March 2022

Purpose: To report a case of fibrous tissue ingrowth after Ahmed valve implantation and bleb revision using mitomycin-C.Case summary: A 50-year-old man, who had received an Ahmed implantation 6 months prior, underwent bleb revision due to persistent high intraocular pressure, despite massage and multiple needling attempts. Bleb encapsulation over the entire valve plate was observed, and the bleb was gently dissected. Fibrous ingrowth over the entire valve system was confirmed. The broad stalk-like fibrous tissue was firmly adhered to the valve system. It was removed by pulling the connected bleb, taking care not to cut the stalk. Then, the long stalk-like fibrous ingrowth along the cleft between valve leaflets and main plate was removed, in the same manner. A sponge soaked with mitomycin-C (0.3 mg/mL) was instilled for 2 minutes, and the conjunctiva was sutured. Two weeks after the surgery, conjunctival suture was performed due to Ahmed valve exposure. Three weeks later, the Ahmed valve was removed due to re-exposure. Trabeculectomy surgery was performed due to uncontrolled intraocular pressure.Conclusions: There is a possibility of extensive fibrous tissue ingrowth after Ahmed valve implantation; thus, care should be taken when using mitomycin-C for bleb revision.

Published: March 2022

This work aimed to analyze the average temperature and rainfall in the Southern and Steppe regions of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, obtained by three global climate models regionalized by the Eta model (CANESM2, HADGEM2-ES and MIROC5) for the historical period, and two future climate scenarios (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5), subdivided into three periods: F1 (2006-2040), F2 (2041-2070), and F3 (2071-2099). The analysis was conducted by applying the trend tests Mann Kendall’s, Sen’s Slope and Pettitt’s to the dataset. The study noted an increase in temperature, and that the highest temperatures will occur at the end of the century. For the three climate models, temperatures will be milder in the RCP 4.5 scenario, mostly, when compared to the RCP 8.5. For those scenarios, a significant increase up to 0.95 C/year was observed in the temperature of all series, with the years of change in the mean values occurring between 2048 and 2060. The projections also suggest that there may be an increase in the average accumulated rainfall in the future periods analyzed, with exception of the result found with CANESM2 model at the RCP 8.5 scenario, which showed a significant decrease of annual rainfall in all series, ranging approximately from -3,1 to -6,6 mm/year. Those significant changes in mean of the rainfall series are expected for the late 2070’s. With exception of this result, most cities and models indicate an increase in rainfall regimes, with clear variations between models and scenarios.

The present study has tested the Shelter-Quality Protocol (SQ) and its applicability in nine long-term dog shelters in the Curitiba metropolitan area, State of Paran , southern Brazil. Welfare indicators were scored on three different levels including shelter, pen and dogs. Data were qualitatively analyzed, presenting an average of 66.67 ( 27.63) allocated dogs per shelter, receiving only dry food, with meal frequencies varying from once (44.4%), twice a day (33.3%), and ad libitum (22.2%). Water was available ad libitum in 98.5% of pens and was clean in (89.5%) of shelters. Most of the shelters grouped the dogs by size. Animals were kept indoors (41.0%) or entirely outdoors with only close movable shelters (41.3%), from which 78.5% had materials that could hurt the animals. None of the dogs were panting, crowding, or had any stereotypy behavior. No cough, swelling, and ectoparasites were observed. Animals were in satisfactory body-score condition and clean; no lameness was observed. In the human-animal relationship test, 15.3% of animals showed fearful and aggressive reactions. Hence, the level of shelter-quality was feasible and provided relevant information about the Brazilian dog shelter welfare. However, it is important in future studies to include and adopt additional indicators to gather other relevant aspects of dogs’ welfare, such as health management, environmental enrichment, dogs’ socialization, people involved in the chain, rate of adoption, and turnover of dogs.

Published: March 2022

Composite resins are widely used aesthetic materials in restorative dentistry. These materials were introduced to overcome the inherent shortcomings of amalgam restorative materials. Dental amalgams are unesthetic and toxic. Earlier composites lack in mechanical properties to withstand the masticatory forces. Various filler particles have been added to composite resins to improve their physical and mechanical properties. Filled composite resins exhibit high compressive strength, abrasion resistance, ease of application and high translucency. Depending on the filler size and shapes, various composites have been developed until now. This article is a review of numerous types of composites that are technologically advanced to modify their properties.

THE FRAMEWORK FOR EVALUATING CHILDREN’S WELLBEING AS RELATED TO THEIR ACTIVE SCHOOL TRAVELING (AST)
Authors: Charkas Marwa
Published: March 2022

Investigating wellbeing-related concerns nowadays is greater than ever. This extends to all aspects of human beings’ daily life. In this context, children’s wellbeing is having an increasing interest as they are the core constituents of tomorrow’s world. Studies have affirmed the vital role of children’s physical activities as catalysts for all domains of their wellbeing. Active school traveling is one of these daily activities practiced by children frequently. The way it is practiced, and its interrelated activities are profoundly affecting children’s feeling and accordingly their well-being. However, the paper builds an argument about conceptualizing an applicable understanding of wellbeing. Reviewing several approaches, it exploits the capabilities approach to investigate the correlation between children’s active school traveling and their wellbeing. Using the outlines of children’s mobility framework, a set of domains were concluded within three categories specifying the children's movement from home to school and vice versa, and the fourth one is a general category. Two questionnaires are used to validate the paper’s theoretical approach. They were performed to a sample of two schools in Alexandria, Egypt targeting both students and their parents. The paper findings show the positive attitude of parents towards active school traveling as a means for conveying their children’s wellbeing. The results show the validity of applying resources/challenges balancing approach for understanding wellbeing obstacles while active school traveling is practiced. However, the results concluded in this paper can inform future studies by drawing attention to aspects to contemplate while investigating children’s wellbeing and mobility domain.

The metamorphosis philosophy is related to architecture, for instance this translation is showcased in the transformation of spaces in buildings that is either done by the destruction or modification of the architectural product. Unfortunately, many buildings, structures and spaces are left abandoned because of changing situations, war, or natural causes. These abandoned buildings can increase the crime rate and leave lands covered in leftover spaces which can have drastic consequences on the environment. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to propose a set of design approaches that can apply the philosophy of metamorphosis in the revival of abandoned buildings with the goal of discovering adaptive solutions for abandoned buildings through their transformation. Hence, to accomplish this aim, this paper will cover accordingly a literature review, desk research case studies and previous readings about the relation of metamorphosis to abandoned buildings. Through the analysis, the research will detect ways of applying space transformation to abandoned buildings and will test the role of metamorphosis in reviving a place. That being the case, the paper will highlight on the reuse of abandoned buildings in Mar Mikhael, Lebanon as a case study.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, fakta atau temuan dari Ombudsman dan Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan, berupa maladministrasi dan konflik kepentingan, sehingga Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 62 Tahun 2019 tentang Perubahan Kedua Atas Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 46 Tahun 2007 tentang Kawasan Perdagangan Bebas Dan Pelabuhan Bebas Batam, perlu disikapi dan dikaji ulang dengan melibatkan bukan cuma tenaga ahli pemerintah namun juga dari eksternal pemerintahan, agar bisa memberi rasa keadilan bagi rakyat dan dapat dipertanggungjawabkan.
¿Cómo casi destruir un mercado sin querer y no fallar en el intento? El caso del impuesto sobre los automóviles de lujo en Argentina
Authors: Abba Luis M. , Moncarz Pedro E.
Published: March 2022

Under the pressure of a growing capital outflow, by the end of 2013 the Argentine government implemented what was known as the tax on "luxury cars". Even when not explicitly declared, the main objective was to reduce imports of most expensive cars to reduce the trade deficit of the automotive sector, which was contributing heavily to the capital account deficit. Even when the policy could be categorized as "successful" in terms of reducing a USD 4.5 billion deficit in 2013 to one of just over USD 0.7 billion in 2014, it had a devastating and lasting impact on the internal market, that just in 2013 had achieved a record in sales. We obtain that during the first year of the implementation of the tax, the overall impact on sales of models reached by the tax was 53.7%. Despite some differences, the negative impact took place throughout the whole year. Not surprisingly, cars reached by the highest tax rate were most affected, as well as carmakers that produce more expensive varieties. However, even when the measure may have been designed to have a direct impact on a small part of the market, the negative effects extended to the whole market.
Cómo Evitar el Colapso Ecosocial: el Proyecto del Decrecimiento
Authors: Buch-Hansen Hubert
Published: March 2022

In response to the looming eco-social collapse, a growing number of scholars and activists in Europe and beyond call for 'degrowth'. They advocate democratic transitions towards post-capitalist societies that can function within ecological boundaries while being socially equitable. The present paper takes stock of what degrowth entails and addresses where it stands, both as an academic and a political project. It suggests that whereas the academic project is currently flourishing, the political project remains marginalised. Against this background, the question of what it would take for the political project of degrowth to gain momentum is addressed.

POTENSI SLAG NIKEL HALUS (FeNi 4) PT. ANTAM POMALAA SEBAGAI AGREGAT HALUS PADA CAMPURAN ASPAL
Authors: Putra Dimas Manggala , Nasrul Nasrul , Ngii Edward
Published: March 2022

ABSTRAKSlag nikel (FeNi4) adalah jenis terbaru dengan ukuran butiran mendekati pasir (lolos No. 8). Jumlah buangan slag nikel telah mencapai 1 juta ton pada tahun 2018, sehingga berbahaya bagi lingkungan jika tidak dimanfaatkan secara luas. Disisi lain kebutuhan agregat halus campuran aspal jenis Hot Rolled Sheet (HRS-WC) sangat tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui potensi pemanfaatan slag nikel FeNi4 sebagai agregat pada campuran aspal jenis HRS.Slag nikel (FeNi4) diperoleh dari PT. Antam Pomalaa. Penelitian dirancang dengan tiga variasi penggunaan slag terhadap agregat halus standar yaitu Variasi 1 (0/100%); Variasi 2 (50/50%); dan Variasi 3 (100/0%). Penyetaraan berat jenis dilakukan untuk menghitung jumlah slag yang digunakan. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 45 sampel dan diuji menggunakan alat Marshall Test. Spesifikasi yang digunakan dalam penelitian mengacu pada Bina Marga 2010.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada benda uji Variasi 2 (50/50%) masih diperoleh kadar aspal optimum sebesar 6,319%, hampir sama dengan kadar aspal optimum benda uji kontrol sebesar 6,331%, namun dengan range kadar aspal yang lebih sempit. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa slag nikel FeNi4 sangat berpotensi digunakan dalam campuran HRS-WC namun dibatasi sampai 50%. Penelitian lanjutan dapat lakukan untuk mengetahui karakteristik campuran HRS-WC pada penggunaan slag nikel FeNi4 dibawah 50%. Kata Kunci :   Slag, Antam, Nikel, Aspal, AgregatABSTRACTNickel slag (FeNi4) is the latest type that was close to sand material (pass No.8). The amount of nickel slag discharges reached 1 million tons in 2018, making it dangerous for the environment if not widely used. On the other hand, the need for fine aggregate asphalt mix type Hot Rolled Sheet (HRS) is very high. This study aims to determine the potential use of FeNi4 nickel slag as fine aggregate in the HRS mixture.Nickel slag (FeNi4) obtained from PT. Antam Pomalaa. The study was designed with three variations of the use of slag against standard fine aggregates, namely Variation 1 (0/100%); Variation 2 (50/50%); and Variation 3 (100/0%). Equal density is done to calculate the number of slags used. The total sample is 45 samples and tested using Marshall Test. The specifications used in the study refer to the 2010 Bina Marga.The results showed that Variation 2 (50/50%) of the specimens were still obtained optimum asphalt content of 6.319%, almost the same as the optimum asphalt content of control specimens of 6.331%, but with a narrower range of asphalt content. These findings indicate that FeNi4 nickel slag is very potentially used in HRS-WC mixtures but is limited to 50%. Further research can be done to determine the characteristics of the HRS-WC mixture on the use of FeNi4 nickel slag below 50%. Keywords  : Slag, Antam, Nickel, Asphalt, Aggregate

Financial administration, equipment, school relations with the community are carried out in an effort to improve the quality of education in schools. The method used in writing this paper is qualitative by using a literature study, namely by finding and analyzing journals or reading sources related to the papers discussed. In implementing educational supervision, financial administration, completeness and relations between schools and the community must be considered. In addition, improving the relationship between the scope of the school and the relationship between the community also needs to be improved in order to form supervision in the world of education based on improving the quality of education in schools. In the supervision of education, it is necessary to have a model or strategy that is useful to increase the scope of the study. In this case, financial administration, equipment, school relations with the community are carried out in an effort to improve the quality of education in schools
Public Support to Research and Innovation: Do European Resources Boost Innovation Outputs?
Authors: Baláž Vladimír , Jeck Tomáš
Published: March 2022

The paper analyses the financial indicators of 546 Slovak firms that received support from the European Structural and Cohesion Funds (ESCF) in the period of 2013-2015. Two support schemes were analysed: one for innovations (technology transfer) and another for R&D grants. The research combines data from public and private resources. It applies the difference-in-differences (DiD) evaluation method along with the propensity score matching (PSM) technique. The research tests the hypotheses that (i) assistance from the ESCF improved the economic and innovation performance of the supported firms, and (ii) smaller firms transformed public support into innovation outputs more efficiently than did large enterprises. Both hypotheses are confirmed. The finding comes with some reservations concerning the efficiency of the support, grant-seeking behaviour, and the reliability of output indicators.
Girolamo, Elvidio e il contesto teologico romano al tempo di Damaso
Authors: Di Santo Emanuele ,   Instituto Patristico Augustinianum
Published: March 2022

This essay places the debate between Jerome and Helvidius in the theological context of the Rome of Pope Damasus. It presents the different theological positions of Helvidius and Jerome, highlighting that the literary clash was in the first place centered on asceticism and only later on the question of the perpetual virginity of Mary. The controversy, before being dogmatic, was exegetical in nature and this could explain the absence of an official intervention by Pope Damasus. Referring mainly to the testimony of Ambrosiaster, it is proved in this study that the thought of Helvidius differed from the tradition of the Church in Rome, and that even Jerome innovates with his exegetical solution to the issue of the «brethren of the Lord».
Vocibus concinentium
Authors: Campone Maria Carolina ,   Instituto Patristico Augustinianum
Published: March 2022

The analysis of Letter XLV of Paulinus of Nola, addressed to Augustine, shows how the author rebuilds, at its deepest level, the conceptual nucleus of platonic reflection, founded on the notion of “harmony” – with clear mathematical-musical and political implications – which also determines the presence of the cursus of this subject in the letter’s prose. Contrasting this text with others by the Cimitilite ascetic, it is possible to point out a precise line of thought, intended to define an ideal model of society founded on the polysemic value of concinentia through a revival of the common themes that pertain specifically to neoplatonic philosophy.
Acerba funera. “Pagani” e cristiani di fronte alla morte infantile
Authors: Zocca Elena ,   Instituto Patristico Augustinianum
Published: March 2022

The Funus acerbum is a rite typical of traditional Roman religion and therefore it should not be related to the Christian attitude in the face of the death of children. However, although Christians and Pagans had different ideas about the afterlife, they shared rules about respect for graves, a similar timing in the cult of the dead, and often also the same burial places. This article examines the Pagan sphere and the Christian sphere and highlights similarities and differences. Concerning more specifically Christians, it shows their wide range of attitudes towards infant death, also in relation to thorny question of the paedobaptism. In this sense, the influence of Augustine is reduced at both the theoretical level and, especially, at the level of burial practices.
XLVII Incontro di studiosi dell’antichità cristiana (Roma, 9-11 maggio 2019). Nota d’insieme sui paradigmi patristici di “maschile” e “femminile”e del perché del loro interesse
Authors: Grossi Vittorino ,   Instituto Patristico Augustinianum
Published: March 2022

The patristic period is of particular interest for the theme of “masculine” and “feminine” given the interconnection between the patristic exegesis of the two stories of creation (Gn 1:26-27 and 2:7) and the religious and social culture of the time. Late antiquity parameters of masculine and feminine, however although they are placed beyond the modern questions, cannot be considered completely extraneous from modernity for that path of history that connects human epochs beyond their own determined period. In this note we attempt to summarize the patristic approaches with an overall view, having both, a not too dispersive picture, and also to obtain some elements for further reflections, keeping in mind what Freud already observed «that the concepts “masculine” and “feminine”, whose content appears so devoid of ambiguity to common opinion, belong to the most confused concepts in science».
Development of seven secondary neoplasms in a nevus sebaceous: a case report and literature review
Authors: Kuo Yi-Wen , Lin Jung-Chia , Tsai Wei-Hsuan
Published: March 2022

Nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn is a congenital cutaneous hamartoma with epidermal, sebaceous, follicular, and apocrine structures that usually appears at birth or in early childhood. It has the potential to generate a variety of secondary neoplasms of different lineages, and the risk increases with patient age. Although multiple neoplasms may occasionally arise within the same lesion, the coexistence of more than five secondary tumors is extremely rare. Here we report a case of seven secondary tumors including syringocystadenoma papilliferum, desmoplastic trichilemmoma, sebaceoma, trichoblastoma, pigmented trichoblastoma, sebaceous adenoma, and tumor of follicular infundibulum arising within a nevus sebaceous. The complete diagnosis relies on the histopathological analysis of multipoint biopsies and delicate pathological sections.
