Characterization of a fracture zone using seismic attributes at the In Salah CO2 storage project
Authors: Zhang Rui , Vasco Donald , Daley Thomas M. , Harbert William
Published: April 2015

The In Salah carbon dioxide storage project in Algeria has injected more than 3 million tons of carbon dioxide into a water-filled tight-sand formation. During injection, interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) reveals a double-lobed pattern of up to a 20-mm surface uplift above the horizontal leg of an injection well. Interpretation of 3D seismic data reveals the presence of a subtle linear push-down feature located along the InSAR determined surface depression between the two lobes, which we interpreted to have to be caused by anomalously lower velocity from the fracture zone and the presence of [Formula: see text] displacing brine in this feature. To enhance the seismic interpretation, we calculated many poststack seismic attributes, including positive and negative curvatures as well as ant track, from the 3D seismic data. The maximum positive curvature attributes and ant track found the clearest linear features, with two parallel trends, which agreed well with the ant-track volume and the InSAR observations of the depression zone. The seismic attributes provided a plausible characterization of the fracture zone extent, including height, width, and length (80, 350, and 3500 m, respectively), providing important information for further study of fracture behavior due to the [Formula: see text] injection at In Salah. We interpreted the pattern of depression between two surface-deformation lobes as caused by the opening of a subvertical fracture or damage zone at depth above the injection interval, which allowed injected [Formula: see text] to migrate upward. Our analysis corroborated previous interpretation of surface uplift as due to the injection of [Formula: see text] in this well.
Causal and mediating factors for anxiety, depression and
well-being
Authors: Kinderman Peter , Tai Sara , Pontin Eleanor , Schwannauer Matthias , Jarman Ian , Lisboa Paulo
Published: April 2015

Background

The relationship between well-being and mental ill health is complex;
people may experience very low levels of well-being even in the absence
of overt mental health problems.

Aims

This study tested the hypothesis that anxiety, depression and well-being
have different causal determinants and psychological mediating
mechanisms.

Method

The influence of causal and mediating factors on anxiety, depression and
well-being were investigated in a cross-sectional online questionnaire
survey hosted on a UK national broadcasting website.

Results

Multivariate conditional independence analysis of data from 27 397
participants revealed different association pathways for the two
constructs. Anxiety and depression were associated with negative life
events mediated by rumination; low levels of subjective well-being were
associated with material deprivation and social isolation, mediated by
adaptive coping style.

Conclusions

Our findings support the ‘two continua’ model of the relationship between
psychological well-being and mental health problems, with implications
for both treatment and prevention.
Teaching Blu’s Hanging
Authors: Ninh erin Khuê
Published: April 2015

This article shares tactics for teaching Blu’s Hanging as a text assigned because of its controversy, though not necessarily subsumed by it. The novel is presented so as to grapple with the stakes of ethnic/racial representation alongside careful textual analysis, using the controversy around Yamanaka’s work to “teach the conflicts” of literary studies.
Reading Communities in the Dickens Classroom
Authors: Cook Susan , Henley Elizabeth
Published: April 2015

The Material Wallace Thurman
Authors: Barwick Clark
Published: April 2015

Barwick uses Wallace Thurman’s The Blacker the Berry: A Novel of Negro Life (1929) to introduce students to the concept of colorism. Barwick’s essay outlines a strategy for integrating technology into the classroom, which helps facilitate discussions of the United States as a postracial society. In addition, his essay explores ways that Thurman’s novel can be used to examine the commodification of the black female body and the relationship between the visual and literary production during the Harlem Renaissance.

Control of E-cadherin apical localisation and morphogenesis by a SOAP-1/AP-1/clathrin pathway in C. elegans epidermal cells
Authors: Gillard Ghislain , Shafaq-Zadah Massiullah , Nicolle Ophélie , Damaj Raghida , Pécréaux Jacques , Michaux Grégoire
Published: April 2015

E-cadherin (E-cad) is the main component of epithelial junctions in multicellular organisms, where it is essential for cell-cell adhesion. The localisation of E-cad is often strongly polarised in the apico-basal axis. However, the mechanisms required for its polarised distribution are still largely unknown. We performed a systematic RNAi screen in vivo to identify genes required for the strict E-cad apical localisation in C. elegans epithelial epidermal cells. We found that the loss of clathrin, its adaptor AP-1 and the AP-1 interactor SOAP-1 induced a basolateral localisation of E-cad without affecting the apico-basal diffusion barrier. We further found that SOAP-1 controls AP-1 localisation, and that AP-1 is required for clathrin recruitment. Finally, we also show that AP-1 controls E-cad apical delivery and actin organisation during embryonic elongation, the final morphogenetic step of embryogenesis. We therefore propose that a molecular pathway, containing SOAP-1, AP-1 and clathrin, controls the apical delivery of E-cad and morphogenesis.
Hierarchical differentiation competence in response to retinoic acid ensures stem cell maintenance during mouse spermatogenesis

Published: April 2015

Stem cells ensure tissue homeostasis through the production of differentiating and self-renewing progeny. In some tissues, this is achieved by the function of a definitive stem cell niche. However, the mechanisms that operate in mouse spermatogenesis are unknown because undifferentiated spermatogonia (Aundiff) are motile and intermingle with differentiating cells in an ‘open’ niche environment of seminiferous tubules. Aundiff include glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor receptor α1 (GFRα1)+ and neurogenin 3 (NGN3)+ subpopulations, both of which retain the ability to self-renew. However, whereas GFRα1+ cells comprise the homeostatic stem cell pool, NGN3+ cells show a higher probability to differentiate into KIT+ spermatogonia by as yet unknown mechanisms. In the present study, by combining fate analysis of pulse-labeled cells and a model of vitamin A deficiency, we demonstrate that retinoic acid (RA), which may periodically increase in concentration in the tubules during the seminiferous epithelial cycle, induced only NGN3+ cells to differentiate. Comparison of gene expression revealed that retinoic acid receptor γ (Rarg) was predominantly expressed in NGN3+ cells, but not in GFRα1+ cells, whereas the expression levels of many other RA response-related genes were similar in the two populations. Ectopic expression of RARγ was sufficient to induce GFRα1+ cells to directly differentiate to KIT+ cells without transiting the NGN3+ state. Therefore, RARγ plays key roles in the differentiation competence of NGN3+ cells. We propose a novel mechanism of stem cell fate selection in an open niche environment whereby undifferentiated cells show heterogeneous competence to differentiate in response to ubiquitously distributed differentiation-inducing signals.
Customer Recognition in Experience vs. Inspection Good Markets
Authors: Jing Bing
Published: April 2015

We study the effects of customer recognition and behavior-based price discrimination (BPD) in a two-period experience good duopoly with a discrete value distribution, and we investigate the role of consumers’ ex ante valuation uncertainty in dynamic price competition through comparison with an inspection good duopoly. Several results are reached. First, the firms may reward repeat purchase when the probability of a high value is relatively low and when the high–low value difference is large; otherwise, they may engage in poaching. Second, BPD frequently increases each firm’s total profits, even in the poaching equilibrium. These results contrast with the inspection good duopoly, and the driver is that consumers’ period 2 product preference depends on their realized values in period 1. Third, consumers’ ex ante valuation uncertainty may increase or decrease firm profits without BPD, and it weakly increases firm profits with BPD, relative to the inspection good duopoly.

Optimal Coordination Mechanisms for Unrelated Machine Scheduling
Authors: Azar Yossi , Fleischer Lisa , Jain Kamal , Mirrokni Vahab , Svitkina Zoya
Published: April 2015

We investigate the influence of different algorithmic choices on the approximation ratio in selfish scheduling. Our goal is to design local policies that minimize the inefficiency of resulting equilibria. In particular, we design optimal coordination mechanisms for unrelated machine scheduling, and improve the known approximation ratio from Θ(m) to Θ(log m), where m is the number of machines.

A local policy for each machine orders the set of jobs assigned to it only based on parameters of those jobs. A strongly local policy only uses the processing time of jobs on the same machine. We prove that the approximation ratio of any set of strongly local ordering policies in equilibria is at least Ω(m). In particular, it implies that the approximation ratio of a greedy shortest-first algorithm for machine scheduling is at least Ω(m). This closes the gap between the known lower and upper bounds for this problem and answers an open question raised by Ibarra and Kim (1977) [Ibarra OH, Kim CE (1977) Heuristic algorithms for scheduling independent tasks on nonidentical processors. J. ACM 24(2):280–289.], and Davis and Jaffe (1981) [Davis E, Jaffe JM (1981) Algorithms for scheduling tasks on unrelated processors. J. ACM 28(4):721–736.]. We then design a local ordering policy with the approximation ratio of Θ(log m) in equilibria, and prove that this policy is optimal among all local ordering policies. This policy orders the jobs in the nondecreasing order of their inefficiency, i.e., the ratio between the processing time on that machine over the minimum processing time. Finally, we show that best responses of players for the inefficiency-based policy may not converge to a pure Nash equilibrium, and present a Θ(log2 m) policy for which we can prove fast convergence of best responses to pure Nash equilibria.
Technical Note—Price-Setting Newsvendor Problems with Uncertain Supply and Risk Aversion
Authors: Kazaz Burak , Webster Scott
Published: April 2015

The price-setting newsvendor problem, which models the economic trade-offs associated with uncertain demand of a perishable product, is fundamental to supply chain analysis. However, in settings such as agriculture, there is significant economic risk associated with supply uncertainty. We analyze how risk aversion and the source of uncertainty—demand and/or supply—affect tractability and optimal decisions. We find that concavity of the objective function is preserved under the introduction of risk aversion if the source of uncertainty is demand, but it is not necessarily preserved if the source of uncertainty is supply. We identify a structural difference that explains this result, and show that this difference can lead to opposing directional effects of risk aversion on optimal decisions.

Authors: Bruun Hanne
Published: April 2015

This article presents an analysis of the attempt to revitalize the genreviewer relationship in the political debate talk show in multi-platform public service television in Denmark. Based on the generic development since the 1990s, and main findings from a comprehensive case study of the interaction between the live broadcast and the Facebook profile of the show The Debate, the article argues that the communicative ethos has changed profoundly. Populism is no longer adequate to understand the entertaining qualities produced. Finally, the article discusses the emerging conceptualization of the audience at work in the production culture and the creative challenges it entails.

Authors: Inácio Gil , Graça Marcelo , Lopes Diogo , Lino Beatriz , Teles André , Lima Tiago , Marques Adilson
Published: April 2015

O objetivo do estudo foi analisar as dificuldades sentidas por professores estagiários de educação física ao nível do planeamento, nomeadamente na construção do plano anual de turma (PAT), na sua reestruturação e articulação com planos deetapa de aprendizagem. Foi constituído um grupo focal no qual participaram quatro estagiários, alunos do último ano do mestrado em educação física e com formação inicial idêntica, que lecionavam em diferentes escolas de Lisboa. A entrevista foianalisada e categorizada em três partes: dificuldades dos estagiários, construção do PAT e articulação entre o PAT e os planos de etapa. Os resultados evidenciam que todos os estagiários tinham dificuldades com o planeamento e a avaliação do desempenho dos seus alunos. Concluímos que a falta de linhas orientadoras para a construção do PAT, publicadas ou, em alternativa, previamente lecionadas aos estagiários, sugere lacunas na formação inicial de professores.

Published: April 2015

ResumoObjetivos: Caracterizar as variáveis alexitimia, espiritualidade (dimensão crenças espirituais/religiosas e dimensão esperança/otimismo), assertividade e qualidade de vida de mulheres com cancro de mama.Método: A amostra é composta por 85 mulheres com cancro de mama de um Hospital do Grande Porto, com uma média de 47 anos e maioritariamente casadas. As doentes foram avaliadas através de 6 instrumentos de autopreenchimento: Questionário Sociodemográfico e Clínico; Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS); Escala de Alexitimia de Toronto (TAS-20); Escala de Avaliação da Espiritualidade; Escala de Assertividade de Rathus e The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQC-30, v.3.0). Resultados: Os resultados indicam que a alexitimia se correlaciona de forma negativa com a dimensão esperança/otimismo e com a assertividade e que estas três variáveis têm influência na qualidade de vida. Mostram ainda a existência de uma correlação positiva entre a idade e a qualidade de vida global, bem como uma correlação negativa do número de anos de escolaridade com a alexitimia e com a dimensão crenças. O modelo preditor da qualidade de vida obtido exclui a influência da assertividade e mostra o impacto negativo da alexitimia e a influência positiva da dimensão esperança/otimismo na qualidade de vida de mulheres com cancro de mama, mesmo depois de controladas as variáveis ansiedade e depressão.
Casamento, casamentos? Representações sociais do casamento heterossexual e do casamento homossexual
Authors: Poeschl Gabrielle , Da Silva Bruno Pereira , Cardoso Filipa Tenreiro
Published: April 2015

Partindo da constatação de que, na actualidade, o poder atractivo do casamento parece diminuir por parte das pessoas heterossexuais enquanto aumenta por parte das pessoas homossexuais, examinaram-se as representações do casamento heterossexual e do casamento homossexual de 240 adultos heterossexuais portugueses, que responderam a um questionário constituído por questões abertas e questões fechadas. Os resultados sugerem que ambas as formas de casamento são consideradas como tendo por finalidade principal cimentar o amor, mas que constituir família será uma melhor justificação para o casamento heterossexual do que para o casamento homossexual. Os discursos acerca das duas formas de casamento apresentam apenas uma dimensão comum, que remete para a partilha e o companheirismo. Enquanto a representação do casamento heterossexual engloba referências à família, às relações amorosas e aos compromissos, a representação do casamento homossexual esvazia-se na problemática dos direitos e dos preconceitos. De acordo com os resultados habitualmente encontrados na literatura, as mulheres e as pessoas com nível de educação mais elevado apresentam uma representação do casamento homossexual mais positiva mas, contrariamente ao esperado, este não é o caso das pessoas mais jovens.

Published: April 2015

The article is devoted to the effectiveness of the use of local lore material in mountainousterrain schools to improve student achievement in the development of their cognitive interest. Inparticular, the analysis of the role of the school in the development of Ukrainian Carpathianmountain areas of education and younger generation training. Attention is drawn to the fact thatduring the organization of the educational process in schools of mountainous terrain ,we are totake into consideration rather high level of spirituality of Highlanders, their love for their land ,traditions and customs. Therefore, during the lessons of social and humanitarian course the teacheris to use local history material that will provide development of students cognitive interest. Theauthors in the experimental studies process demonstrated that the organization of learning thehistory of Ukraine in the 5th grade should be directed to the development of cognitive interest inhistory. So, the children in the 5th grade will not have to study the whole history. They are to beprepared to gradually assimilate to it according to the curriculum. A critical factor in successfullearning is to form cognitive interest. To make the learning process easier and more interesting theteacher must offer his/her students the curriculum material which they would not only feel, butalso easily understand. The students must realize that it's not about teaching something/someoneunknown, but about themselves, their parents, grandparents, great grandparents, family, region,country. Therefore, the initial training should dominate local history material, allowing thedevelopment of cognitive interest in history, lay the foundations of historical knowledge andprovide increasing levels of students’ achievements. This is ensured by a parallel study of thehistory of the native land. The authors defined teaching and learning requirements for local lorematerial to be used in the process of study and presented their own examples .

Authors: Alisa Alisa
Published: April 2015

In the current stage of development of our country globalization and integrationprocesses are becoming more powerful. In these circumstances, the problem of preservingUkrainian national identity becomes urgent. The article deals with conditions of the linguisticidentity as the bearer of the Ukrainian national cultural space. Based on the analysis of currentresearches of individual language learning the author concludes that linguistic identity is a socialphenomenon. The development and establishment of the linguistic personality arises in the processof education, training, communication, i.e. in different activities depending on the nature of thesocial environment in general and speech environment in particular. However, some scientificresearch allow to affirm the need to incorporate formative influence of the nature on the linguisticidentity. The focus of the article is Carpathian region as an environment in which ethnic cultureand language were almost no external influences. An important conclusion from this research isthat learning the problem of linguistic identity should take into account forming impact of theenvironment - both natural and linguistic.

Peculiarities of Real Educational Institutions Functioning in the Subcarpathian Rus (Pidkarpatska Rus)
Authors: Safyanyuk Zoryana
Published: April 2015

The article highlights historical and pedagogical aspects of the development of realsecondary educational institutions that functioned in the territory of the Subcarpathian Rus (1919-1939). After World War I the Czechoslovak Republic undertook a commitment to arrangeTranscarpathia as an administrative unit entitled the “Subcarpathian Rus”. The situation withUkrainian schools in the Subcarpathian Rus was very poor. Only two town schools wereUkrainian. In spite of the language chaos in the land, Rus (Ukrainian) town schools started to be setup and Hungarian ones started being re-organized. In the 20ies – 30ies in the Subcarpathian Rus asthere appeared real national secondary schools (real grammar schools) in which students weremainly Ukrainians. In real grammar schools with their utilitarian nature of the content of educationthere could be traced the growth in the number of students due to improved access to thoseinstitutions. However, gradually, the trend towards Czechization could be traced, a number offorms with Czech as the language of teaching were opened. The Academy of Sciences in Prague,having researched the language issue, decided that the language the “Subcarpathian Rus people”were speaking was identical to the Ukrainian language of the Halychyna people, thereforeUkrainian was acknowledged to be the language of teaching at Ukrainian real grammar schools.All in all, as of 1933 Ukrainian real grammar schools in Berehovo, Khust, Mukachevo andUzhhorod had 46 forms, parallel Czech units in Khust, Mukachevo and Uzhhorod had 20 forms,parallel Hungarian units in Berehovo had 12 forms, the reformed Jewish grammar school inMukachevo had 8 forms. In total there were 9 secondary schools.

The article presents the problem of social exclusion, which in the context of suchchallenges of global society as poverty, inequality, migration, aging of population, has become oneof the most urgent in different countries and continents. It is actual both, for the residents of theUSA and for the citizens of Ukraine. While living in different countries, we are the residents of ourcommon “house”- Earth and many problems of modern global world make us more close to eachother than we even can think. Among them - a problem of social exclusion and aging ofpopulation, which destroyes the democratic and human rights both of the inhabitants ofAppalachians and the hutsuls, living in Carpathian Mountains in Ukraine. The social, cultural andbehavioral aspects of the problem of exclusion and aging of population are analyzed in the article.Peculiarities of aging, cognitive and emotional state of personalities in the period of aging, thepersonality’s attitude towards aging and social exclusion reflect the feelings and experience ofpeople and show that they are similar as for residents of Appalachian region and for gutsuls ofCarpathian mountains. In the article it is stressed that social exclusion is dangerous for people ofall ages, especially for people from families, for residents of mountain regions, for orphans anddisabled. Not having sufficient capacity to manage the situation, they all feel powerless and unableto manage their life. That is why most countries of the world pay great attention to overcome socialexclusion. And since the second half of the 90-th the fight with social exclusion is an integral partnot only of the EU's and of the USA’s social policy, but it also has become an important direction ofthe social work in Ukraine.

Authors: Romaniuk Svitlana
Published: April 2015

The trends of development of native language education of Ukrainians living in Ukraine,the USA and Canada have been analyzed. They are stipulated by globalization as well asintegration processes on a global scale in the end of the 20th and at the beginning of the 21stcenturies. Their dependence on state language and language education policies in Ukraine havebeen grounded together with national consciousness of the Ukrainians whereas the westerndiaspora dependence on external (language policy in the country of residence, assimilation,assistance from Ukrainian part) and internal factors (national consciousness of Ukrainians in thediaspora, their integration into different society, functioning of native language education, publicorganizations) have also been reasoned.The functioning of institutions in the USA and Canada have been studied (parents/family –kindergartens – Ukrainian Studies Schools and Courses at Universities). Where the subjects inUkrainian Language and Systems of State Educational Institutions for young generations of theAmerican and Canadian Ukrainians are being taught.The following key trends of native language education have been distinguished: bilingualism(Russian-Ukrainian languages in Ukraine which, in general, has a negative impact on the status ofnational language. English-Ukrainian languages in the USA and Canada which is an essential partof the integration of national minorities representatives into the societies of these countries);reduction of Ukrainian language speakers in the USA and Canada as well as in Ukraine; stateassistance in language teaching for ethnic communities/minorities in Ukraine and separateCanadian provinces; seeking for efficient means and methods of teaching native language inpolytechnic / multilingual environments such as mountainous regions of the USA, Canada andUkraine.The conclusion is that despite of assimilation and migration processes in the diaspora andUkraine, the need of Ukrainian language learning is growing. This is particularly connected withthe fourth emigration wave of Ukrainians who are willing to study their own language and obtainappropriate education.

The author reveals theoretical approaches to the problem, interprets the views of otherresearchers. The problem of higher educational establishment deadaptation is cleared up in thearticle, interpretation of the phenomenon of teenagers’ deadaptation in different spheres ofpsychological-pedagogical science is given. At the modern stage deadaptation is understood as atotality of features and manifestations, which affirm inconsistency of a person’s interaction with hisor her environment. And as deadaptation ruins the results, which were achieved in the process ofadaptation, it is necessary in the first place to found out the essence of this phenomenon. Literatureanalysis and practical experience of work in the pedagogical university allow us to determine somecharacteristics of social status of a student of the first years of study. The analysis of different formsof pedagogical work as foe the overcoming of deadaptation manifestations of the future educatorsin higher educational establishment is done. The author analyses the questionering conducted atthe faculty of pre-school education, which allows to affirm that at the beginning of study studentsovercome educational difficulties and aren’t very thoughtful as for the perspectives of their futureprofessional activity. In this period great responsibility is on the academic group supervisors. Toprevent the manifestations of deadaptation the supervisors should should create psychologicalcomfort in the group for the students – desirable for students state, affirming harmony in the inner,psychological and social life. To avoid the manifestations of deadaptation of the students-freshmenand in order to accelerate their adaptation, we have created the program for special course for theteachers and supervisors of academic groups

The article deals with the problem of unsocial behavior of young people in Ukraine inthe XXth century. At that time Ukraine was in the structure of former Soviet Union (1917-1991). InSoviet times the theory of unsocial phenomena could not freely develop because the unsocialphenomena were considered as an acquisition of capitalist society. For a long time researches aboutalcoholism, drug addiction, criminality, sexual demoralization, and others were closed and theirresults were not presented for a public discussion. Nevertheless certain traditions in research of theseparate phenomena of un sociality were successfully formed in pre-soviet times. First of all itconcerns the researches of suicides, criminality and alcoholism. The views of scientists on reasonsof unsocial behavior in Ukraine in the ХХth century are analyzed by authors in this paper.

Abstract: This research is based on the reasoning that transformation of IAIN to UIN can not release the expectation to do the integration of science and shake off dichotomy both Islam and science. The dichotomous of Islam and science appear in cosequence of the differences at the level of ontological, epistemological and axiological in religious sciences (Islam) and general sciences. In response to preliminary research and findings with respect to science integration in UIN, researchers assume to do comprehensive research to find out at analyzing the implementation of the integration of science in UIN throughout Indonesia, especially in the context of curriculum design and the learning process. DOI: 10.15408/tjems.v1i1.1108

The article presents a method of preparing input data for 3D visualizations. The authors implemented the proposed procedure when they were working on a visualization, with use of
Autodesk 3ds Max software.
The test object were the ruins of a historic grange that belonged to the Nostitz family in
Mściwojów (Mściwojów commune, Jaworski district, Lower-Silesia Voivodeship). After surveying the area and analyzing the data, using MicroStation with a geodetic application MK
(Mapa Kontekstowa – context map), a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) was created along with
contour lines, with use of Data Acquisition (a tool in some programs of Bentley). Next, the
models of spatial objects were created using the authors’ software Vital Landscapes
Tools, developed during the EU CENTRAL EUROPE program. It was the basis for development of a visualization of current land management, using the software Autodesk 3ds Max.
This allowed the design of the future land management of the historic grange so that the
landscape balance is maintained.
The data processed in this manner can be used for photorealistic visualizations in Autodesk
3ds Max or other graphical software.
