Authors: Yan Ning , Zhang Hongbo , Zhang Zhongfeng , Shi John , Timko Michael P. , Du Yongmei , Liu Xinmin , Liu Yanhua
Published: September 2016

Solanesol is a noncyclic terpene alcohol composed of nine isoprene units and it mainly accumulates in solanaceous plants, especially tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.). Here, RNA-seq analyses of tobacco leaves, stems, and roots were used to identify solanesol biosynthesis genes. Six 1-deoxy-d-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase, two 1-deoxy-d-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase, two 2-C-methyl-d-erythritol 4-phosphate cytidylyltransferase, four 4-diphosphocytidyl-2-C-methyl-d-erythritol kinase, two 2-C-methyl-d-erythritol 2,4-cyclodiphosphate synthase, four 1-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-(E)-butenyl 4-diphosphate synthase, two 1-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-(E)-butenyl 4-diphosphate reductase, six isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase, and two solanesyl diphosphate synthase (SPS) genes were identified to be involved in solanesol biosynthesis. Furthermore, the two N. tabacum SPS (NtSPS1 and NtSPS2), which had two conserved aspartate-rich DDxxD domains, were highly homologous with SPS enzymes from other solanaceous plant species. In addition, the solanesol contents of three organs, and leaves from four growing stages, corresponded with the distribution of chlorophyll. Our findings provide a comprehensive evaluation of the correlation between the expression of different biosynthetic genes and the accumulation of solanesol in tobacco.

Fault identification and severity assessment of rolling element bearings based on EMD and fast kurtogram
Authors: Cheng Lei , Fu Sheng , Zheng Hao , Huang Yiming , Xu Yonggang
Published: September 2016

Faults in rolling element bearings often cause the breakdown of rotating machinery. Not only the fault type identification but also the fault severity assessment is important. So this paper emphasizes the fault severity assessment. The method proposed in this paper contains two steps: first, identify the fault type based on the combination of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and fast kurtogram; Second, assess the fault severity. In the first step, the original signal is firstly decomposed into some intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and the representative IMFs are selected based on correlation analysis, and then the reconstruction signal (RS) is generated; Secondly, the fast kurtogram method is applied to the RS, and the optimum band width and center frequency is obtained. The fault type can be identified based on the fault characteristic frequency marked in the envelope demodulation spectrum. In the second step, the energy percentage of the most fault-related IMF is chosen as an indicator of the fault severity assessment. Experimental data of rolling element bearings inner raceway fault (IRF) with three severities at four running speeds were analyzed. The results show that the IRF identification and fault severity assessment is realized. The breakthrough attempt provides the great potential in the application of condition monitoring of bearings.

Authors: Yasa Cenk , Dural Özlem , Bastu Ercan , Uğurlucan Funda Güngör
Published: September 2016

PPolycystic ovary syndrome is the most common endocrine abnormality that affects reproductive-aged women. Diagnostic criteria of polycystic ovary syndrome have been established by different societies in recent years, and hyperandrogenism remains as one of the main criteria for diagnosis. Cutaneous manifestations of hyperandrogenism include hirsutism, acne and androgenic alopecia and are commonly observed in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. The major determinants of cutaneous manifestations are increased production of androgen and increased tissue availability. Cutaneous manifestations of hyperandrogenism are cosmetic problems, which produce significant emotional distress and psychological morbidity. Treatment includes a combination of combined oral contraceptives, antiandrogens, insulin sensitizers, gonadotropin releasing hormone agonists, topical medications, and cosmetic procedures. The diagnosis, management, and treatment approaches are described in detail in this review.
Sustainable groundwater modeling using single- and multi-objective optimization algorithms
Authors: Sadeghi-Tabas S. , Samadi S. Z. , Akbarpour A. , Pourreza-Bilondi M.
Published: September 2016

This study presents the first attempt to link the multi-algorithm genetically adaptive search method (AMALGAM) with a groundwater model to define pumping rates within a well distributed set of Pareto solutions. The pumping rates along with three minimization objectives, i.e. minimizing shortage affected by the failure to supply, modified shortage index and minimization of extent of drawdown within prespecified regions, were chosen to define an optimal solution for groundwater drawdown and subsidence. Hydraulic conductivity, specific yield parameters of a modular three-dimensional finite-difference (MODFLOW) groundwater model were first optimized using Cuckoo optimization algorithm (COA) by minimizing the sum of absolute deviation between the observed and simulated water table depths. These parameters were then applied in AMALGAM to optimize the pumping rate variables for an arid groundwater system in Iran. The Pareto parameter sets yielded satisfactory results when maximum and minimum drawdowns of the aquifer were defined in a range of −40 to +40 cm/year. Overall, ‘Modelling – Optimization – Simulation’ procedure was capable to compute a set of optimal solutions displayed on a Pareto front. The proposed optimal solution provides sustainable groundwater management alternatives to decision makers in arid region.
Using information value chains for asset management planning
Authors: Bacuñgan F. A. C.
Published: September 2016

The manner in which an asset management plan (AMP) is documented depends on the utility's perception of what information needs to be shared and how best to communicate it to the plan's reviewers and approvers. This function of information selection should be taken outside the document itself, in the sense that the manner of presentation should not affect the information that needs to be documented. The information documented in an AMP needs to be based on a nested data structure that clearly illustrates the data's provenance, how it was processed and analyzed, and what controls are in place to validate the processed information. The use of information value chains (IVCs) for planning is founded on the concept that decisions and investments driven by sound data, as agreed with key stakeholders such as regulators, are irrefutable. The only possible considerations remaining are design and affordability. Developing an IVC is also valuable because it makes the planning process more sustainable and consistent. In summary, preparing IVCs saves time and effort, while safeguarding quality. Documentation would only follow information preparation, where data quality becomes the dominant measure of the AMP's completeness.

Modern spiritual situation is determined as a transfer from a united cultural paradigm to a poliparadigmal cultural space. It is characterized by an unlimited diversity of unlinked spiritual structures, ideas, theories, styles and direction. Polyphony, eclecticism, subjective assembling, inlaid, and omnivorous are perceived as a norm today. Total impact of cultural specimen, intensified by an industry of informational technologies deform valuable aesthetic orientations of a personality, including taste. Individual experience in the taste becomes unified and social. Tastes differentiated before (aesthetic, artistic, mass, elite, etc.) became homogenous. Cultural reflection may be a purposeful preservation of elite valuable cultural orientation.

Análise paramétrica do deslocamento de óleo em um meio poroso governado pela teoria de Buckley-Leverett
Authors: De Oliveira Camylla Moreira , Cordeiro Daniel Cardoso , Romero Oldrich Joel
Published: September 2016

Um dos problemas mais clássicos no escoamento de fluidos em meios porosos para a indústria do petróleo é o modelo de Buckley-Leverett, que consiste num fluxo unidimensional e bifásico em que ocorre a injeção de um determinado fluido - comumente a água -  e a produção de óleo. Tal modelo físico-matemático é não-linear e sua solução analítica depende de simplificações que geram aproximações do resultado real com grande percentual de erro associado. Para contornar tal situação, utiliza-se de métodos numéricos para obter soluções mais próximas à realidade. O presente trabalho visa simular tal problema de fluxo bifásico e analisar as alterações ocorridas na recuperação de óleo provocadas pelas mudanças das diversas variáveis de entrada, como por exemplo a porosidade, o número de blocos da malha, a viscosidade do óleo, entre outros. Para realizar tal modelagem, utilizou-se o software UTCHEM, capaz de simular o fluxo com comportamento de múltiplas fases (água, óleo, gás e microemulsão), transformações físicas e químicas, e propriedades de meios porosos. Em geral, os resultados mostraram alterações na produção acumulada de óleo mediante às mudanças das propriedades dos fluidos e da formação modelada que foram compatíveis com os modelos analíticos e numéricos propostos.

Published: September 2016

Bovine tuberculosis is a complex disease that is difficult to diagnose, control and eradicate and negatively impacts many farms. The objective of this study was to assess the degree of concordance between the results of histopathological examination and bacterial culture in the diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis lesions obtained in the laboratories certified by the Secretaría de Agricultura, Ganadería, Desarrollo Rural, Pesca y Alimentación (Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Production, Rural Development, Fisheries and Feeding) at the national level between January 2009 and December 2012 in Mexico. Tissue samples (10,818) from regular slaughter cattle that did not have tuberculin tests but had lesions suspected of having been caused by tuberculosis were sent to 10 authorized laboratories. Using Cohen’s kappa to measure the reliability of the diagnosis, a general concordance was obtained between the histopathological examination and bacterial culture results with a kappa of 0.634 and a 95% (0.618 – 0.650) confidence interval (CI), which shows good concordance between the two techniques at the national level. The laboratory in Chihuahua had the highest kappa [k=0.784, 95% CI (0.754–0.814)] and the laboratory of the La Laguna Region in the state of Coahuila had a low value of global concordance [k= 0.334, 95% CI (0.257–0.412)]. The number of positive samples in bacterial culture was low in Tamaulipas (21 samples), Sonora (41 samples), and Yucatán (45 samples) because tuberculosis prevalence in those states is ≤ 0.04%. The number of positive samples in bacterial culture was low in Tamaulipas (21 samples), Sonora (41 samples), and Yucatán (45 samples) because tuberculosis prevalence in those states is ≤ 0.04%. The reason for the disagreement between the two tests among some laboratories includes factors such as a lack of economic resources, infrastructure or personnel training. Correct sampling procedures, storage facilities, and shipping and sample processes are important in optimizing the bacteriological and histopathological results and obtaining correct diagnoses and differential diagnoses of bovine tuberculosis.

Authors: Aguilar Ubaldo , Hernández-Cerón Joel , Domínguez Yesmín , Gutiérrez Carlos
Published: September 2016

This study tested whether the oral administration of glycerol at the time of progestin removal and in the first 6 days of the estrous cycle increased the ovulation rate, prolificacy, and pregnancy rate in goats. Intravaginal sponges impregnated with fluorogestone acetate were inserted into 129 goats for 12 days; upon sponge removal, goats were randomly assigned to one of the two following treatment groups: the glycerol group (n = 65), which received an oral drench of 100 mL of glycerol upon sponge removal and was repeated on days 0, 2, 4, and 6 following estrus (estrus = day 0), and the control group (n = 64), which did not receive glycerol. The goats in estrus were mated, and their ovulation rate was determined by ultrasonography between days 8 and 12 of the estrous cycle. Pregnancy was diagnosed by ultrasonography on day 40, and the prolificacy was determined at birth. In 6 goats treated with glycerol and 5 controls, their insulin concentrations at 0, 2, 4, 8, and 12 h after the glycerol drench were determined by radioimmunoassay. The proportion of goats with multiple ovulations (glycerol = 71 vs control = 64) and the proportion of goats with multiple births (glycerol = 52 vs control = 56) were similar (P > 0.05) between treatments. Likewise, the pregnancy rate was similar (P > 0.05) between treatments (glycerol = 88 vs control = 85%). The insulin concentrations tended to be higher in goats treated with glycerol (P = 0.08). In conclusion, an oral drench of 100 mL of glycerol at the time of progestin withdrawal and in the first 6 days of the estrous cycle did not increase the ovulation rate, prolificacy, or pregnancy rate in goats.

¿Hacia la “falsa conciencia” o hacia la “conciencia de clase”? Apuntes en torno a la ideología en la obra de Marx
Authors: Cristeche Mauro
Published: September 2016

Este trabajo se propone intervenir en la discusión sobre la noción de ideología en la obra de Marx, tratando de seguir el curso del desarrollo que realiza el autor para desentrañar su significación. Se toman como referencia los textos: La ideología alemana, que produjo junto a Engels, y El Capital, en particular los primeros capítulos.Se proponen dos ejes de discusión. Por un lado, partiendo de la hipótesis de que El Capital es la obra en que Marx alcanza el mayor desarrollo científico en torno a la ideología como forma de la conciencia de los individuos, se plantea que la ideología es la enajenación de la conciencia en el capital como relación social general en el modo de producción capitalista; y, en consecuencia, la clase obrera, como portadora de la necesidad de superación del capitalismo, no necesita desarrollar su ideología de clase, sino avanzar críticamente sobre su enajenación. Por otro lado, el ordenamiento jurídico es el conjunto de formas jurídicas en que se expresa la relación social capitalista, y tiene una función ideológica; para una “crítica de raíz” a tal relación social, no cabe formular una teoría crítica del derecho, sino una crítica del derecho
O Método na Sociologia do Direito: Ehrlich visitado por Pachukanis
Authors: Da Silveira Moreira Júlio
Published: September 2016

Este artigo propõe um enfoque teórico-metodológico sobre a Sociologia Jurídica, e se constrói a partir da definição dessa disciplina e da contribuição de Eugen Ehrlich, analisado à luz do método materialista dialético do qual faz parte Evgeni Pachukanis. O contexto introdutório do artigo leva em consideração a explicação, por Alysson Mascaro, dos três caminhos do pensamento jurídico contemporâneo. A concepção de Ehrlich se opõe ao normativismo mais tradicional do pensamento jurídico, sedimentado por Hans Kelsen, pois busca encontrar o direito nas instituições sociais e não no formalismo das normas. Pachukanis aponta o direito como um fenômeno específico da sociedade capitalista, que introduz as noções de igualdade e liberdade no plano jurídico abstrato para sustentar relações de circulação e produção de mercadorias, chegando aos conceitos de sujeito de direito e de relação jurídica. A estrutura do artigo se baseia, portanto, na crítica de Ehrlich a Kelsen e na na crítica de Pachukanis a ambos, concluindo com uma contribuição relevante para que o jurista sociólogo possa captar a realidade por trás da abstração das relações jurídicas.

Inspection problems of rural stone churches
Authors: Cherkasova Lyudmila Igorevna , Paushkin Aleksandr Glebovich , Alekseev German Valer’evich
Published: September 2016

The authors describe the reasons for the destruction and the difficult process of restoring old stone churches built before 1917. The article notes the difference between these processes in the village and in the city. In the villages a large number of churches are in emergency condition, but continue to be operated as intended, i.e. for divine service. The article gives the classification of the causes for the destruction process of old rural churches. At the present time old temples usually destruct due to the lack of timely rehabilitation works. Recovery is hindered by the high cost of a comprehensive inspection and restoration. The work can be greatly reduced if the goal is not restoration, but conservation and prevention of an emergency condition. The authors come to the conclusion that the survey of rural churches as opposed to urban ones has the main goals: to determine the state category, to provide space in which the religious services may be held, for example, in the summer, and to provide materials for preservation of the part of the building, the operation of which is impossible. The problems of preservation of the architectural decor and restoration of items are not considered in such an inspection. Such a survey can be called “Express survey”. Express survey is conducted for a short time with a small group of specialists. The examination includes visual examination, thorough photographic images, study of the geological history of the area, interviews with the residents, description of the defects, which reduce the reliability of the building, recommendations for the strengthening of structures, conservation and monitoring frequencies. The works on measurement and determination of the strength of materials must be minimized. For more efficient operation, it is proposed to amend the regulations or create a separate document in addition to the known norms regulating the work using a rapid survey.
Undergraduates' day-to-day lying behaviors: Implications, targets, and psychological characteristics
Authors: Chiu Su-Lin , Hong Fu-Yuan , Chiu Shao-I
Published: September 2016

We analyzed undergraduates' (N = 232) day-to-day lying behavior in order to explore the frequency of occurrence, kinds of lying behavior, and gender differences, and to analyze the relationship between lying behaviors and individual undergraduates' psychological characteristics.
We developed a questionnaire and analyzed the results using descriptive statistics, t tests, and Pearson product-moment correlation analysis. Results showed that the undergraduates' day-to-day behavior could be divided into the following 5 types of lying: excuse, absenteeism, cheating,
negative, and spending. More than 80% of the undergraduates said they had told a lie in a day-to-day situation within the 1-year period covered in this study. There was no significant gender difference in any aspect of the undergraduates' day-to-day lying behavior, although there was a significant
correlation between day-to-day lying behavior and negative psychological characteristics.

Published: September 2016

Background/Aim. Dental appearance plays an important role in practically all personal social interactions. The main factors that define the dental appearance are tooth colour, shape and position, quality of restoration, and the general position of the teeth in arch, especially in the anterior region. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of dental status (tooth shape, fracture, dental and prosthetic restorations and presence of plaque) on patient''s satisfaction with the dental appearance, controlling for the age and gender. Methods. A total of 700 Caucasian subjects (439 women) aged 18?86 (median 45 years) participated in the cross-sectional study. Study included clinical examination and self-administrated questionnaire based on selfperceived aesthetics and satisfaction with the appearance of their maxillary anterior teeth. Results. A regression analysis demonstrated that presence of dental plaque, tooth fracture, composite fillings and crowns had significant independent contribution and were negative predictors of satisfaction with teeth appearance. Participants with presence of plaque on upper teeth (p < 0.001), fractures (p = 0.005), composite fillings (p < 0.001) and crowns (p = 0.032) were less satisfied than those without it. Model explains 12% or variance of general satisfaction with the appearance of maxillary frontal teeth (p < 0.001) and the major contributors are composite fillings (5.3%) and plaque (3.2%). Tooth shape, age and gender were not significant predictors of satisfaction. Conclusion. Satisfaction with the teeth appearance is under the influence of many factors with significant negative influence of presence of dental plaque, fractures, composite restorations, and crowns.
Providing Assurance for Sustainability Reports: An Instructional Case
Authors: Brown Veena Looknanan , Kohlbeck Mark J.
Published: September 2016

Due to increased interest in sustainability from non-governmental organizations (NGO), investors, and other stakeholders, many companies prepare sustainability reports, sometimes with third-party assurance as to the veracity of their claims. This instructional case provides a challenging and enriching experience for students in which the provision of assurance services on nonfinancial sustainability reporting is addressed. The case involves determining the procedures necessary to provide assurance on a sustainability report where procedures are non-standard and may vary substantially from client to client. To arrive at a solution, students are required to familiarize themselves with sustainability reporting in general and use judgment in deciding the most appropriate type of assurance and related procedures to provide. Students are also asked to discuss a number of related topics including the need for assurance in this area and auditor independence issues. This instructional resource provides students with an opportunity to gain an understanding of sustainability reporting and assurance. The case is appropriate for upper-division undergraduate and graduate auditing courses in which assurance services other than audits are discussed and can be assigned on an individual or group basis for out-of-class preparation, followed by in-class discussion.
Are Accountants Made or Born? An Analysis of Self-Selection into the Accounting Major and Performance in Accounting Courses and on the CPA Exam
Authors: Blay Allen D. , Fennema M. G.
Published: September 2016

This study examines whether college students self-select into the accounting major based on accounting decision-making ability that they bring with them to their first accounting course and whether such ability is associated with performance in accounting coursework and on the CPA Examination. We analyzed the performance on three financial and managerial accounting-related tasks of 1,110 students prior to taking a principles of financial accounting course for the first time. We found that students who intend to be accounting majors performed no better on these tasks than other first-time accounting students. However, we found a strong correlation between performance on these tasks and ultimate performance in accounting courses and on the CPA Examination after controlling for measures of intelligence, academic performance, task effort, and demographic factors. Thus, we conclude that high-performing accounting majors start their college education with a greater ability to perform at least some accounting-related tasks, but that those students do not self-select into the accounting major based on these abilities. In a follow-up study upon completion of their accounting degree, we found that students with lower incoming ability to complete these tasks were not able to catch up with their higher-ability accounting major peers. In addition, they did not improve performance on the accounting-related tasks any more than a lower-ability non-accounting major despite having earned an accounting degree.

Are You Making Learning Too Easy? Effects of Grouping Accounting Problems on Students' Learning
Authors: Phillips Fred
Published: September 2016

Prior accounting education research claims learning outcomes are improved by grouping together similar accounting practice problems rather than presenting such problems in an interleaved order. The present study revisits this prior research by asking whether making initial problem solving easier inadvertently leads to less durable longer-term learning. The evidence in the present study confirms that grouping practice problems helps students complete problem-solving practice in less time and with greater accuracy; this performance improvement is evident on a test given immediately after problem-solving practice. However, grouping together similar practice problems significantly reduces longer-term learning, as measured by a delayed test given one week after problem-solving practice. Further, the present study shows the efficient problem-solving experience created through grouping practice problems fools students into thinking they will be able to successfully solve similar problems in the future, and it also misguides them into believing they will need to study less when preparing for an upcoming test involving similar problems. This study raises the possibility that initial instruction is most effective when it does not simplify but rather presents learners with a desirable level of difficulty.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the genotoxicity of in-office bleaching with 35% hydrogen peroxide in epithelial cells from the gingival and lip tissues.

Methods and Materials: Thirty volunteers with central incisors shade A1 or darker were selected for this study. The gingival tissue of the teeth to be bleached was isolated with a light-polymerized resin dam, and the 35% hydrogen peroxide gel was administered during three 15-minute applications over the course of the 45-minute application period. Two bleaching sessions with a one-week interval in between were performed. Exfoliated oral mucosa gingival epithelial cells and upper lip lining were collected at baseline and one month after the in-office dental bleaching. The scraped cells were placed on clean glass slides and smears were prepared. After staining with Giemsa solution, two blinded examiners performed cell and micronuclei counts under a 100× optical microscope. Tooth sensitivity was evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Shade evaluation was recorded before and one month after the bleaching treatment with the value-oriented shade guide Vita Bleachedguide 3D-MASTER and the spectrophotometer Vita Easyshade. Data from the shade guide units and the micronuclei (MN) frequency were subjected to a Mann-Whitney test (α=0.05). The overall difference between before and one month after the bleaching treatment (ΔE and ΔSGU), absolute risk, and intensity of tooth sensitivity (TS) were calculated, as was the 95% confidence interval (CI).

Results: The frequency of MN was not increased after bleaching with 35% hydrogen peroxide in both study groups (p>0.05). The absolute risk of TS of the participants was 93% (95% CI, 79%-98%), with a mean VAS intensity of 5.7 ± 2.9 (95% CI, 4.6-6.8). Meaningful whitening was observed after bleaching. The change in shade guide units in the Bleachedguide 3D-MASTER was 2.3 ± 1.4. In terms of ΔE, the change in color was 7.7 ± 3.5.

Conclusions: The in-office bleaching did not induce DNA damage to the gingival and lip tissue during the bleaching period. Although effective whitening was observed, most of the participants experienced TS.
Feminisms from the Perspective of Afro-Brazilian Women
Authors: Cardoso Cláudia Pons , Adelman Miriam
Published: September 2016

This article was written on the basis of interviews with 22 Afro-Brazilian activist women. It uses research on their trajectories to show how, as political subjects, they have used inequalities based on class, race, gender, and sexuality as instruments for the construction of an identity as activists in Black women's movements and for building the movement as a place for protagonism and for experiences that successfully challenge the powers that be. Furthermore, the article explores Brazilian feminist discourse, as it is recreated through the specific demands of Black women. The concept of feminism was first appropriated on Brazilian soil by educated white middle-class women who, in the process, built a particular history in which poor and Black women found little room to express their needs. Black women have been developing a critique of this appropriation since the initial debates on this issue began in the 1970s and 1980s. They have pointed to the inadequacy of a certain feminism that is based on European and U.S. theories and which starts from the experiences of white women to interpret those of Black women, thereby neglecting the determinants of class and race. On the other hand, the elements that are mobilized to provide a basis for the critique of white feminism make it hard for Black women activists to work more closely with white feminists in a unified movement. Nonetheless, the premises of a conception that promotes the emancipation of women are shared, appropriated, and reworked in order to understand Black women's reality. Thus, Brazilian Black women have built their political autonomy—that is, their ability to read and interpret reality—coming up with their own version of feminist thought based on the concrete and historical experiences of Black women, as they run counter to the established order and are nourished by a Black African cosmovision or point of view, constitutive of Afro-Brazilian civilizational values. The latter elements form the basis for their thought, supplying thematic content and an epistemological perspective that promote a politics for decolonizing knowledge. This signifies methodological detachment from dominant perspectives, enabling them to examine history from the point of view of Afro-Brazilian women, who have historically been excluded from what has been referred to as “hegemonic knowledge.”
Geographies of Power: Black Women Mobilizing Intersectionality in Brazil
Authors: Perry Keisha-Khan Y.
Published: September 2016

In Brazil and throughout the African diaspora, rarely are black women, especially poor black women, considered leaders of social movements, much less political theorists. While Afro-Brazilian women are at the very heart of the struggle for urban housing and land rights in Salvador, the prevailing image of black women, particularly those who live in poor neighborhoods, is that they lack the knowledge and political sophistication needed to organize mass social movements. This article seeks to undermine this image by exploring how black women have come to radicalize local communities. It also explores why they are the main political actors interpreting the racial, gender, and class dynamics of urban development policies and fighting to reform projects of socio-spatial inclusion in cities. Bridging the scholarly gap between black feminist theorization and the grassroots practice of intersectionality, I argue that black women who organize as blacks, women, and poor people provide key insights into how intersectionality is mobilized for social and poltical change. Furthemore, the ethnographic focus on black women's activism illustrates the ways in which grassroots politics have advanced our understanding of intersectional identity formation in relationship to the material interests of the marginalized communities in Brazil.
L’étude d’évaluabilité : utilité et pertinence pour l’évaluation de programme
Authors: Soura Biessé Diakaridja , Dagenais Christian , Bastien Robert , Fallu Jean-Sébastien , Janosz Michel
Published: September 2016

Abstract: Evaluability assessment (EA) was conceptualized in the late 1970s following the finding of poor program implementation quality and inability of evaluations to meet stakeholders’ needs. EA is an approach that might allow improvement to both the program and the evaluation to be conducted later. In fact, EA may, on the one hand help clarify a program theory and on the other hand, facilitate the elaboration of the logic model, which are helpful for program implementation. When conducted by an evaluator or team of evaluators with the required skills, EA may also help to gather useful information in support of the program’s summative and formative evaluation. EA is considered an exploratory type of evaluations that can be conducted over a period of few weeks to several months, depending on the complexity of the program and its scope.

The Development and Initial Validation of Competencies and Descriptors for Canadian Evaluation Practice
Authors: Maicher Brigitte , Frank Christine
Published: September 2016

Abstract: This article presents the Canadian experience of establishing competencies as part of a professional designation project. First we discuss the foundations of the competencies, including the preliminary work of compiling a cross-walk of evaluator competencies, a document that then served as the basis for consultations across Canada. The next steps were to extract five broad themes or competency domains, each containing specific competencies, and to develop descriptors for each competency. A group of Canadian evaluation experts was then asked to rate the competencies and their descriptors. The results of this preliminary validation exercise are highlighted. To conclude, we note how the competencies and their descriptors are currently being used and look ahead to next steps.

INPRET: The Interval Prediction Tree algorithm for temporal numerical data
Authors: Alberg Dima , Last Mark
Published: September 2016

This paper presents Interval Prediction Tree INPRET algorithm for interval prediction of numerical target variables from temporal mean-variance aggregated data. The proposed algorithm allows to process mean-variance aggregated multivariate temporal data and to identify outliers in training data instances. The proposed algorithm enables, on the one hand, to utilize predictive feature information obtained from mean and variance of temporally aggregated instances, and on the other hand, to achieve a considerable reduction in the depth of the induced prediction tree by using interval prediction tree leaves. As shown by our empirical evaluation of aircraft maintenance real world multi-sensor data set, in terms of the prediction tree size and the root mean square error, the proposed algorithm provides better integration between accuracy and performance than existing regression tree models.
