Published: September 2018

DAS merupakan kawasan yang khas dan mempunyai fungsi yang sangat penting dalam hidrologi. Sekarang ini kawasan DAS di Indonesia telah mengalami kerusakan. Kerusakan ini telah menimbulkan berbagai bencana seperti longsor, erosi dan banjir. Hal ini umumnya disebabkan oleh terjadinya perubahan penggunaan lahan. Bencana alam serta aktivitas manusia juga telah menimbulkan pencemaran pada air sungai. Dewasa ini hampir sebagian besar sungai-sungai di Indonesia telah mengalami pencemaran, bahkan di pulau Jawa pencemaran sungai sudah dalam tahap yang mengkhawatirkan. Perubahan penggunaan lahan dan pencemaran sungai telah melampaui daya dukung dan daya tampung lingkungan. Penyebab dari kerusakan ini antara lain disebabkan oleh pertambahan penduduk, kelembagaan, kemiskinan, pemenuhan kebutuhan hidup masyarakat seperti sandang, pangan dan pemukiman, perkebunan, pertambangan dan partisipasi masyarakat yang sangat rendah dalam melakukan konservasi. Beberapa cara penanggulangan telah dilakukan mulai dari konservasi secara teknis yaitu teras dan guludan, agroforestri, pelibatan masyarakat serta harmonisasi kelembagaan. Namun masih terjadi kerusakan di dalam DAS. Perlu dikaji lebih lanjut akar permasalahan yang sebenarnya sehingga bisa dicari penanggulangan yang tepat.
Analisis Tingkat Produksi dan Tingkat Kelayakan Usaha Tani Tembakau (Nicotiana Tabacum) di Nagari Baruah Gunung Kecamatan Bukit Barisan Kabupaten Limapuluh Kota
Authors: Sefrimon Sefrimon
Published: September 2018

Tembakau merupakan tanaman perkebunan jangka pendek, sehingga petani akan mudah beralih usahatani lain jika harga komoditi ini kurang menguntungkan.  Selain itu persoalan yang dihadapi petani tembakau adalah petani hanya bertindak sebagai price taker  (penerima harga) dalam pemasaran tembakau dan lemahnya konsolidasi kelembagaan yang ada sehingga tidak mampu untuk membantu petani merubah posisinya sebagai price maker (pembuat harga). Kecamatan Bukit Barisan adalah sebuah Kecamatan di Kabupaten Limapuluh Kota yang memiliki luas 394,85 km2 dan terdiri dari 5 nagari. Kecamatan Bukit Barisan merupakan salah satu sentra produksi tembakau jenis tembakau payakumbuh cukup tinggi yaitu 14,40 ton/ha dibandingkan kecamatan lainnya. Salah satu nagari penghasil tembakau terbesar di kecamatan Bukit Barisan adalah nagari Baruah Gunung. Pengelolaan tembakau rakyat kurang intensif dibandingkan penanganan oleh perkebunan besar swasta atau perkebunan negara.  Teknik budidaya dan teknologi tradisional, input tidak optimal dan sejumlah faktor tidak terkontrol lain seperti iklim, merupakan masalah utama peningkatan produksi tembakau rakyat seperti di nagai tempat penelitian. Produktivitas tembakau rakyat rendah disebabkan ketersediaan benih tidak murni dan manipulasi agronomis bersifat tradisional. Penelitian ini juga menggunakan metode survey, yaitu penyelidikan yang diadakan untuk memperoleh fakta-fakta dari gejala-gejala yang ada dan mencari keterangan-keterangan secara faktual tentang sosial ekonomi petani. Dari hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan, menunjukkan bahwa: Rata-rata tingkat produksi  tembakau petani sebesar 308,38 kg. Tingkat kelayakan Usahatani tembakau : R/C = 329.705.000/232.381.657 = 1.42. R/C > 1, berarti  usahatani tersebut layak untuk dilanjutkan.
Spatial Orientation and Directional Judgments in Pilots vs. Nonpilots
Authors: Verde Paola , Angelino Gregorio , Piccolo Francesco , Carrozzo Paolo , Bottiglieri Alessia , Lugli Laura , Piccardi Laura , Nori Raffaella
Published: September 2018

BACKGROUND: Reading a map requires the ability to judge one’s position in a large-scale space from information presented in a small-scale representation. Individuals are more accurate and faster in making judgments when the “up” direction on the map is the same
as the “forward” direction of the environment, which is when a map is aligned with the perspective of the spatial layout they have learned (alignment effect). The aim of this study was to explore whether military pilots, who have high spatial abilities, would not show the alignment
effect compared with nonpilots.METHODS: Recruited were 20 military pilots and 20 nonpilots. Mean flight hours were 418.75. Nonpilots without flight experience were matched for age and education with pilots. Subjects were asked to learn a map and to perform directional judgments
to verify whether the alignment effect was present considering absolute angular errors.RESULTS: An ANOVA for mixed designs on absolute angular errors revealed a main “group” effect: pilots performed better than nonpilots (pilots: M = 22.60 ± 5.57; nonpilots: M
= 82.59 ± 5.56). A main “directional judgments” effect was also observed: aligned judgements were easier than contra-aligned judgements (aligned, M = 9.277 ± 0.938; contra-aligned, M = 11.004 ± 0.805). ANOVA showed a significant “group × directional
judgments” interaction: post hoc comparison showed that contra-aligned were more difficult than aligned judgments for nonpilots.DISCUSSION: High visuo-spatial abilities preserved pilots from having alignment effect bias. They performed directional judgments equally well, being
less influenced by the increased cognitive effort requested by the changing perspective.Verde P, Angelino G, Piccolo F, Carrozzo P, Bottiglieri A, Lugli L, Piccardi L, Nori R. Spatial orientation and directional judgments in pilots vs. nonpilots. Aerosp Med Hum Perform. 2018; 89(10):857–862.
Change Detection Flicker Task Effects on Simulator-Induced Spatial Disorientation Events
Authors: Lewkowicz Rafał , Fudali-Czyż Agnieszka , Bałaj Bibianna , Francuz Piotr
Published: September 2018

INTRODUCTION: A visual stimulus change detection is an extremely important pilot’s cognitive process. This is especially true when pilot errors caused by perceptual failures have a negative effect on his/her spatial orientation. The aim of this research was to investigate
the effect of the change detection flicker task (CDFT) on pilots’ response to spatial disorientation (SD) events. We hypothesized that the additional cognitive processing, based on CDFT, produces more deterioration of the pilots’ spatial orientation.METHODS: Using an
SD flight simulator, 50 male military pilots (M = 27.2; SD = 6.68) were exposed to 12 flight sequences. Of the 12 flight profiles, 6 involved an SD conflict, with 3 involving motion illusions and 3 with visual illusions. We measured and compared pilots’ flight performance in response
to visual and motion illusion conflicts across two simulations (CDFT vs. control) and SD conditions (nonconflict vs. conflict).RESULTS: Of the six applied illusions, significant differences in pilot flight performance were found for three visual and one vestibular illusion (Coriolis).
The differences were observed between control and CDFT groups for both nonconflict and conflict flight sequences, associated with the approach and landing maneuvers.DISCUSSION: The CDFT increased the pilots’ cognitive workload, affecting their flight performance and susceptibility
to SD, especially in the approach and landing maneuvers. This partially supports our hypothesis that performing the CDFT leads to greater deterioration of pilots’ spatial orientation. We recommend that when problems in maintaining proper flight performance arise, pilots should not respond
to external stimuli until they have recovered their spatial orientation.Lewkowicz R, Fudali-Czyż A, Bałaj B, Francuz P. Change detection flicker task effects on simulator-induced spatial disorientation events. Aerosp Med Hum Perform. 2018; 89(10):863–872.
Chinese Herbal Medicine Effects on Muscle Atrophy Induced by Simulated Microgravity
Authors: Zhang Shu , Yuan Ming , Cheng Cheng , Xia Dong-hui , Wu Shi-wen
Published: September 2018

BACKGROUND: Skeletal muscle atrophy is a striking example of the multiple changes in the physiological state of humans and animals induced by microgravity. Previous studies have shown that a blood circulation disorder may be a cause of this atrophy, and traditional Chinese medicine
has been regarded as a potential countermeasure to reverse the atrophy in China. This study was carried out to test the effects of Xuefuzhuyu capsules (XFZY) on the skeletal muscle atrophy induced by simulated microgravity.METHODS: The mass and cross-sectional area of the soleus
muscle were compared in rats treated with XFZY that were hindlimb unloaded for 30 d (XFZY-TS group), untreated rats that were hindlimb unloaded for 30 d (TS group), and control rats (CON group). The expression and phosphorylation levels of key proteins of the sarcoplasmic reticulum stress
system were also measured.RESULTS: Treatment with XFZY attenuated the loss of muscle mass and cross-sectional area induced by hindlimb unloading. Western blot analysis showed that the phosphatidyl-inositol-3-kinase/phospho-Akt (PI3K/p-Akt) pathways were down-regulated after 30 d
in the TS group compared with the CON group. This effect was partly reversed by XFZY. Hindlimb unloading increased the expression of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), cytosine-cytosine-adenosine-adenosine-thymidine/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP), C-Jun N-terminal kinase
(JNK), and Caspase 12. Treatment with XFZY alleviated this increased protein expression.DISCUSSION: Our results suggest that XFZY could partially reverse the effects of hindlimb unloading on muscle atrophy and perhaps target the sarcoplasmic reticulum stress system, possibly through
the GRP78-CHOP-JNK-Caspase 12 pathway.Zhang S, Yuan M, Cheng C, Xia D, Wu S. Chinese herbal medicine effects on muscle atrophy induced by simulated microgravity. Aerosp Med Hum Perform. 2018; 89(10):883–888.
Thermal Regulation of Emergency Oxygen Supplies in Commercial Space Vehicles
Authors: Pattarini James M. , Blue Rebecca S. , Alexander David J.
Published: September 2018

INTRODUCTION: While NASA requires that commercial spaceflight vehicles provide onboard emergency oxygen supplies for crew, there are currently no requirements in place regarding thermal constraints of delivered gas. The question has been raised whether or not onboard emergency
oxygen supplies must be warmed prior to administration to the crew, as inclusion of warming capabilities will increase the complexity and mass of life support systems in the vehicle. We sought to identify the risk of various inhaled oxygen temperatures and resultant pulmonary inflammatory
response in potentially injured crewmembers.METHODS: A systematic review of published literature was conducted concerning thermal regulation of inhaled gases, reactive airway response, and inflammatory reactions. In particular, we sought literature that correlated inhaled gas temperature
to airway response to identify a temperature threshold that would avoid deleterious sequelae.RESULTS: Cold air inhalation can induce acute bronchoconstriction, increased respiratory rate, and associated dyspnea and hypoxia. Physiological response to cold air varies between healthy
lungs and injured tissues, and increased inflammation is associated with increasing airway reactivity. Most studies suggest that inhaled gas temperatures below 10°C may induce deleterious physiological sequelae.DISCUSSION: Best practices would include maintenance of inhaled
gas temperatures to >10°C to avoid poor physiological response, preferably as close to physiological norms as possible. Given that inhaled gas temperature may be altered by transit through an oxygen delivery system, measurement of actual delivered gas temperature should occur at the
point of crewmember inhalation.Pattarini JM, Blue RS, Alexander DJ. Thermal regulation of emergency oxygen supplies in commercial space vehicles. Aerosp Med Hum Perform. 2018; 89(10):918–922.
Monitoring the Effectiveness of Fatigue Risk Management: A Survey of Pilots’ Concerns
Authors: Gander Philippa , Mangie Jim , Phillips Adrienne , Santos-Fernandez Edgar , Wu Lora J.
Published: September 2018

INTRODUCTION: Airlines are required to monitor the effectiveness of their pilot fatigue risk management. The present survey sought the views of all pilots at Delta Air Lines on fatigue-related issues raised by their colleagues participating in regular airline safety audits.METHODS:
All 13,217 pilots from 9 aircraft fleets were invited to participate in an anonymous online survey. Questions related to aspects of scheduling, fatigue mitigations, and fatigue safety culture.RESULTS: There were 1108 pilots who completed the survey (response rate = 8.4%). On 7/9
fleets, most pilots thought 5- to 7-d rotations were too long (exceptions: B747, median = 14 d; A330 median = 8.5 d). In the previous year, on average across all fleets, 60.6% of pilots had worked up to or beyond their personal rotation limit (minimum, B747 = 6.3%; maximum, MD88/90 = 75.9%).
Rotations where duty periods start progressively earlier were considered highly fatiguing by 73.8% of pilots, compared to 14.7% for rotations where duty periods started progressively later and 1.6% for rotations with successive duty periods starting at the same time. The median optimum break
length between rotations was 3-4 d. On 7/9 fleets, fewer than 20% of pilots tried to build their monthly schedules with back-to-back rotations (exceptions: B747, 43.8%; A330, 34.3%). Awareness of fatigue and perceptions of company fatigue risk management activities varied widely among fleets.DISCUSSION:
The findings identify possible improvements in fatigue risk management and highlight that care is needed when extrapolating from one operational context to another. As a safety assurance exercise, we recommend repeating the survey biannually, or sooner if warranted by specific circumstances.Gander

The U.S. Experience with Special Issuance Waivers
Authors: Mills William D. , Davis Joshua T.
Published: September 2018

INTRODUCTION: The special issuance (SI) waiver is the primary mechanism for U.S. pilots who do not meet FAA standards to obtain a medical certificate. About 34,000 pilots possess an SI waiver, but there is a large gap in knowledge of the relationship of SI waivers to aviation
safety.METHODS: All FAA pilot medical exams from 2002 through 2011 were matched to the National Transportation Safety Board accident database. The association of an SI waiver with accidents was explored using logistic regression models. Accident rates were also calculated using
a novel technique based on pilots’ reported flight times on their applications for medical certification.RESULTS: For third-class flight exams overall, the presence of an SI waiver is associated with 8.7% lower odds of an accident than regular issuance exams. The calculated
overall accident rate was 6.6 per 100,000 h. For the first and second-class exams, there was no significant association of SI waivers with safety for the overall group. The oldest and youngest pilots in the third-class group and the younger pilots in the first and second-class groups had somewhat
elevated accident odds. The significance of these higher odds is uncertain, especially for the younger pilots who have a probable flight time bias.DISCUSSION: The overall FAA program of special issuance waivers shows no detrimental effect on aviation accidents and enables a large
number of pilots to safely continue their aviation pursuits in spite of failure to meet specific regulatory medical standards.Mills WD, Davis JT. The U.S. experience with special issuance waivers. Aerosp Med Hum Perform. 2018; 89(10):905–911.
Radiologic and Pathological Investigation of Pseudarthrosis in Ankylosing Spondylitis: Distinguishing Between Inflammatory and Traumatic Etiology
Authors: Qiao Mu , Qian Bang-ping , Qiu Yong , Mao Sai-Hu , Wang Yi-hua
Published: September 2018

Objective.

To investigate the pathogenesis of pseudarthrosis in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) based on the pathological analysis of specimens harvested during surgery.

Methods.

Radiographic and clinical data for 17 consecutive AS patients with pseudarthrosis were retrospectively analyzed. Meanwhile, the pathological analysis of specimens obtained during surgery was also performed.

Results.

In total, 18 extensive Andersson lesions were included. Pseudarthrosis located at the apical region were noted in 12 patients. Complete ossified anterior longitudinal ligaments above or below pseudarthrosis and fracture through posterior elements or facet joints were observed in 7 and 6 lesions, respectively. The most definitive pathological characteristic in all cases was proliferating hypovascular edematous fibrous tissue involving disc, bone-disc border, and vertebral body. Fibrinoid necrosis, necrotic bone fragments, hemosiderin deposits, and active subchondral osteogenesis were found, indicating trauma process. Mild perivascular collections of inflammatory cells were detected in only 2 cases.

Conclusion.

AS-related pseudarthrosis is more likely to originate from mechanical trauma than inflammation. The above-mentioned radiological and histological findings showed that multiple mechanisms lead to the formation of pseudarthrosis. These mechanisms include excessive stress, insufficiency fracture, and an acute fracture involving a 3-column structure.
Les compétences clés du négociateur en situation de vente complexe
Authors: Pélabère Julien , Le Flanchec Alice
Published: September 2018

La vente complexe est un processus de vente Business to Business (B2B) qui met en interaction un grand nombre d’acteurs pour faire émerger une « solution » et qui s’inscrit dans une relation de long terme. Le vendeur (souvent appelé ingénieur d’affaires) est alors conduit à gérer une situation de négociation commerciale particulière, qui a fait l’objet de peu d’études académiques à ce jour. Cet article fait apparaître un certain nombre de compétences clés de l’ingénieur d’affaires qui sont sources de succès de la vente complexe. Il montre notamment l’importance de l’empathie de l’ingénieur d’affaires à l’égard de l’acheteur, afin de mieux percevoir ses attentes et ses besoins concrets, la place centrale de la confiance interpersonnelle qui se construit entre l’acheteur et le vendeur au cours du processus de vente, l’importance de la réduction de l’incertitude qui pèse sur l’acheteur quant à la valeur ajoutée de la solution proposée ; et enfin le rôle fondamental de « médiateur » de l’ingénieur d’affaires, qui interagit avec les différentes parties prenantes et permet de rapprocher et d’amener celles-ci à résoudre les conflits et/ou incompréhensions de manière à faire « émerger » la solution et favoriser la conclusion de la vente. Cette étude permet de ce fait de plaider en faveur d’une formation à la médiation des ingénieurs d’affaires dans le cadre de ventes complexes. Les résultats s’appuient sur une étude empirique qualitative. 35 entretiens approfondis ont été menés auprès d’acheteurs et de vendeurs impliqués dans des processus de vente complexe, permettant d’appréhender 70 cas de négociations.
Using rhetorical criticism to track Twitch Plays Pokémon fans' attachment to sacrifice
Authors: James Eric Andrew
Published: September 2018

This expansion of the existing literature on fan discourse analyzes rhetorical form as a tool and constraint. By analyzing the rhetorical forms used to develop the cult neoreligious styles of Twitch Plays Pokémon fan art, I track the evolution of sacrifice as a guiding trope that allows the community to narrativize accidents, make sense of chaos, and respond to the game's overall lack of player agency. Rhetorical forms are reproduced in fan discourse alongside popular community art styles, genres, and rules for speaking. Rhetorical forms are thus both effects of fan discourse and factors in later evolutions for that discourse. Rhetorical criticism will become increasingly more important in the study of sense-making practices in collective participatory media such as Twitch Plays Pokémon.
Owning the servers: A design fiction exploring the transformation of fandom into "our own"
Authors: Fiesler Casey
Published: September 2018

This essay serves as a speculative design fiction that traces the history of fan creation platforms from the past to the present and finally to a possible future. Using the history and success of the Archive of Our Own (https://archiveofourown.org/) as a focal point, I consider the importance of owning the servers as a way for fan communities to create and preserve culture and reassert values. Examining one possible legal and technological future with an air of optimism allows us to consider what fannish communities can do now to maintain a path of our own.
Fandom names and collective identities in contemporary popular culture
Authors: Peyron David
Published: September 2018

Fandom names are one of the first ways for fans as a group to express their taste. As a category of thought, they allow fans to bond with the object and with a community. Within this collective, selecting a name is a performative way to bring the group into existence. It is also a differentiation tool (from other audiences) from which attitudes emerge, making it possible to describe these communities as subcultures. In the digital era, names are the result of collective mobilizations revealing tensions between fans and industries, leading to new ways to assert and present oneself on social networks and media.
Generations, migrations, and the future of fandom's private spaces
Authors: Dym Brianna , Fiesler Casey
Published: September 2018

An exploration of old versus young fandom indicates that this divide is fueled by shifting norms encouraged by migration across online platforms, with changes that focus on conflicting norms around the publicness of fandom. Although fandom has become more public facing, fans are also more broadly participating in activism, forming communities for political action and media criticism, causing long-standing fans to worry that these changes could lead to a collapse between private and public spaces. However, what makes fandom important remains intact: fandom is and will continue to be a home for those pushed to the margins of media.

La fiesta del señor de Chalma y su contribución a la iconografía del muralismo mexicano
Authors: Sánchez Mauricio César Ramírez
Published: September 2018

Después del movimiento armado que estalla en México en 1910, el país está en un proceso de restauración, que se manifiesta en lo político, social y cultural. En el último aspecto resulta fundamental el arte, que alcanza su máxima expresión a través del muralismo. En éste será fundamental la iconografía de que se nutre, pues se revalora la historia, pero en especial el pasado indígena. Así, se resaltan tradiciones y costumbres, que le dan una identidad propia al arte mexicano.
Perspectivas del indígena en el Manifiesto del Sindicato de Obreros, Técnicos, Pintores y Escultores
Authors: Villar Sureya Alejandra Hernández del
Published: September 2018

El Sindicato de Obreros Técnicos, Pintores y Escultores (grupo que reunía a los protagonistas del Muralismo Mexicano) publicó un manifiesto que daba sustento teórico a la pintura mural, pero además contenía interpretaciones sobre el indígena. Éste era representado como un elemento subyacente en el arte mexicano, pero también como un sujeto interpelado de acuerdo con la proclama estética y política que se enunciaba en el manifiesto. Este artículo describe la manera en que se proyectaron ciertas imágenes del indígena en el discurso de los pintores muralistas como uno de los ejes de las proposiciones de su manifiesto.
Corporate photography goes to the forest
Authors: Hartenthal Mariana von
Published: September 2018

The article examines how images, material culture, and texts intersect in the representation of the Karipuna, an indigenous group who lived in the Brazilian Amazon. I discuss how authors historically employed “markers of typicality” (PINNEY 1997) to signal the “purity” of the Madeira and Mamoré Valley’s native population. I specifically focus on Dana Merrill’s photographic documentation of the construction of the Madeira-Mamoré Railway, built in the region between 1907 and 1912. I analyze Merrill’s corporate imagery in relation to the visualities of the Noble Savage. I argue that, although the photographer’s gaze did follow elements that connoted the isolation of Amerindians, he was also interested in the hybrid reality of the Karipuna.
“Hegemonía, Historia y religiosidad popular en Guatemala: el diálogo de los pueblos mayas con la cultura occidental a través de la política, el mestizaje cultural y el imaginario”
Authors: Catalán Néstor Felícito Véliz
Published: September 2018

En este trabajo se explica la forma en que los pueblos mayas han establecido un diálogo particular con la cultura occidental en Guatemala. La Historia y la religiosidad popular son espacios en que el contacto e interrelación entre las tradiciones culturales autóctonas y las occidentales han generado lógicas discursivas, prácticas culturales y subjetividades. Estos elementos han contribuido a la construcción identitaria de los grupos étnicos que constituyen la Nación, efectuando como elemento modulador de este movimiento la hegemonía ladina instalada con el triunfo de los liberales en 1871.

Ce numéro 12 d'Artelogie rassemble des articles traitant des sources extra-latino-américaines de l'indigénisme dans une approche diachronique et transdisciplinaire et invite à analyser cette thématique sous l'angle des transferts culturels, des processus d'appropriations intellectuelles et plastiques ou bien des refus d'adoptions de modèles politiques et artistiques.La « négociation » entre nationalisme et internationalisme est au cœur de la problématique de ce numéro qui propose de questionner un tel processus comme une stratégie de transculturation entre l’Amérique latine et le reste du monde. Jusqu’alors majoritairement étudié comme un mouvement centripète à cette aire géographique, il convient ici d’appréhender l’indigénisme comme un phénomène centrifuge, pluriséculaire et transculturel.
The experiences of female ministers in counselling female rape survivors: A phenomenological study
Authors: Van Wyk Neltjie C.
Published: September 2018

Rape is an act of humiliation that leaves the survivors ashamed. They therefore often try and hide from others and rarely seek help. Informal discussions with female ministers revealed that some of them had counselled female rape survivors. A descriptive phenomenological study, aimed at exploring and describing the experiences of female ministers in counselling female rape survivors through individual interviews, was conducted. Six ministers were interviewed. They experienced the dichotomy of being a woman and being a minister during their encounter with rape survivors. As women, they became emotionally involved in the suffering of the rape survivors, and as ministers they experienced that prayer and scripture reading in collaboration with counselling promote healing. They also experienced that rape survivors perceived them as approachable because of their gender, but less approachable because of their status as ministers.
Toward Blind Language: John Milton Writing, 1648–1656
Authors: Dhar Amrita
Published: September 2018

Using Milton's poetry from his years of failing and newly lost sight, this article demonstrates the beginnings of Milton's blind language. Through close analysis of the sonnet “To Mr Cyriack Skinner Upon his Blindness,” the psalms translations (Milton's only sustained poetic exercises during his years of approaching and full blindness), and finally, Sonnet 16 (“On His Blindness”), this article argues that Milton harnesses his intellectual and emotional powers into a blind and generative poetic energy.
Influence of the urban morphology on the urban heat island intensity: an approach based on the Local Climate Zone classification
Authors: Long Nathalie , Gardes Thomas , Hidalgo Julia , Masson Valéry , Schoetter Robert
Published: September 2018

This article presents the development and application to a set of French urban agglomerations of a method for Local Climate Zones (LCZ) attribution using the open-source language R. The LCZs classify the urban fabric at high spatial scale (such as a block of houses) according to its morphological characteristicsand land use. The LCZ classification is carried out for 42 urban agglomerations and is then related to urban heat island intensity (UHII) obtained from numerical simulations at a spatial resolution of 250m. The objective is to study the adequacy of the LCZ classification to characterise the impact of urban morphology on the UHII. The variance analysis (ANOVA) carried out confirms the highly significant relationship between LCZs and the UHII for a given urban agglomeration. For all the urban agglomerations in the sample, linear regression models show a significant correlation between the percentages of surface covered by different LCZ and the mean UHII for the time periods tested (21-23 UTC), with adjusted coefficients of determination higher than 0.40.
Hypothesis: Avian flight originated in arboreal archosaurs gliding on membranous wings
Authors: Bajdek Piotr , Sulej Tomasz
Published: September 2018

The oldest feathers known to date have been found in archosaurs capable to fly. However, some of them (scansoriopterygids) flied by the use of a membrane rather than feathers. We therefore propose a new mechanism for the origin of avian flight by the use of membranous wings on both the forelimbs and the hindlimbs. It complements the Beebe’s (1915) prediction of the tetrapteryx stage. Paleontological and embryological evidence suggest that feathers are a modification of reptilian scales. Scansoriopterygids were covered mostly by down-like feathers which seemingly acted as a thermal isolation rather than were adapted for flight. Certain early birds, including scansoriopterygids, possessed elongate shafted tail feathers, which were probably used principally for display and resembled elongate scales. We suppose that display is the primary function of early feathers, which were preadapted for the thermal isolation and also the flight. The body of theropods was covered mostly by typical reptilian scales, yet some ornithischian dinosaurs possessed filamentous integumentary structures which might have had a comparable display function. However, it is doubtful that these structures in dinosaurs were homologous with avian feathers. Early birds probably shared with theropod dinosaurs an incipient endothermy, which was inherited from their common ancestor from the Triassic Period.

Authors: Loewe Peter
Published: September 2018

This submission reports on the continuing efforts by OSGeo activists within the annual General Assembly gatherings of the European Geoscience Union (EGU). Starting as improvided splinter events, the format soon emerged both into dedicated topical sessions for Open Source within the EGU division of Earth and Space Science Informatics (ESSI), but also dedicated annual evening events (Townhalls). Further, the format of topical Open Source sessions was quickly adopted also by the American Geophysical Union (AGU). This talk covers lessons learned from past events, current developments and opportunities within ESSI in EGU and AGU, and also new acitivities.
Electra Complex and the Confusion of Albee’s Martha’s Sexual Identity: A Psychoanalytic Study
Authors: Abdali Rakhees Arafat , Bin Janoory Lajiman
Published: September 2018

According to the Freudian psychoanalytic theory, earlier traumatic experiences highly influence the psychological development of personality. Freud also affirms that the earlier years of childhood development play a crucial role in the formation of personality. He states that all normal infants go through specific stages of psychosexual development that are naturally progressive, namely: oral, anal and phallic stages. Any disruption of or delay in the progress of any of the psychosexual stages or failure to cope with them causes the fixation of the libido at a particular stage. Martha, the central figure in Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, suffered from painful emotional experiences during childhood which gave her an unbalanced personality and a fragile ego. She lived a lonely and troubled childhood because she was abandoned and rejected by her father, a matter that has left a deep scar on her psyche. Martha also has a phallic fixation owing to the unresolved sexual conflicts during the phallic phase of the psychosexual development, a matter that negatively influences her personality. Applying Freudian psychanalytic theory, the aim of this study is to investigate the influence of past traumatic experiences of childhood on Martha’s behaviour and her psychological wellbeing. The study also seeks to uncover the impact of the unresolved Electra Complex on the development of Martha’s personality and her sexual maturity.
Providing Comprehension Clues in L1 to Japanese EFL Summary Writers: Do they help?
Authors: Kato Makiko
Published: September 2018

The present paper reports part of a larger project investigating the effectiveness of explicit instruction of writing a summary to Japanese learners learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Given that the process of producing a written summary involves both understanding the source text and producing its gist succinctly, the present study examined if helping learners to understand the text would help them to improve the quality of the summary they produce. A total of 25 Japanese high school EFL students who took part in the study were divided into three groups. The first group (n = 8) and the second group (n = 9) were experimental groups, where the first group was given L1 translation, and the second group was provided the L1 glossary. The third group (n = 8) was served as a control group, who did not have any support material. To examine the longitudinal nature of the effect of writing a summary with L1 clues, they were asked to write a summary once a week for five weeks, using different texts each time. The summaries were assessed by three different raters. The results showed that three groups were different in the quality of the summaries they produced. Overall, the summaries of the students who were given L1 glossary improved more compared with the other two groups. The paper concludes with several suggestions for EFL teachers teaching summary and for the researcher who is interested in the current topic.
A Corpus-Based Study of the Phraseological Pattern It + V-link + ADJ + That Clause in L1 and L2 Expert Academic Writing
Authors: Sadick Ngula Richmond
Published: September 2018

This study discusses the phraseological pattern It + V-link + ADJ + That Clause as a rhetorical feature of argumentation in Ghanaian scholars’ research articles (RAs) across the disciplines of Sociology, Economics and Law. It looks at the pattern’s occurrence with the adjectives possible, likely and clear in RAs by Ghanaian authors based in Ghana and in RAs by international scholars who are native speakers to determine potential divergent patterns of use between the two groups of scholars in the three disciplinary fields. Because RAs produced by non-native writers are often said to be characterized by overuse, underuse or misuse of rhetorical features (e.g., Martinéz, 2005, Englander, 2006), this study adopts a corpus-based approach to investigate the extent to which Ghanaian scholars’ use of the above collocational pattern involving possible, likely and clear differs from international scholars’ use of the pattern in terms of frequency information, levels of epistemic force, and intensification/mitigation styles. A close inspection of a million-word corpus of RAs, supported by robust statistical analyses, reveals considerable differences in the way the pattern is used between the two groups of scholars across the disciplines studied, which suggest that Ghanaian scholars do not fully apply the preferred stereotypical uses of the pattern found in reputable international RAs. The study has implications for how Ghanaian scholars have acquired rhetorical strategies of academic writing.
An Examination of Berman’s Negative Deformation Tendencies on Persian Translation of Tess of the d’Urbervilles Novel
Authors: Vamenani Fahimeh , Sadeghi Moslem
Published: September 2018

The primary purpose of this study was to examine the frequency of deforming tendencies on Persian translation of Hardy’s Tess of the d’Urbervilles based on Berman’s model. Moreover, the study set out to find out how words have been changed from the source language to fit the target language by adopting deforming tendencies. To achieve the aims of study, the researchers relied on content or document analysis as a qualitative type of study to analyze the strategies which were used in the translation of Tess of the d’Urbervilles novel from English to Persian. The data came from a sample of 300 sentences which were randomly selected from the novel translated into the Persian language by Mina Sarabi.The trustworthiness of the research findings was met through inter-rater agreement and it was reported 0.94. The results indicated that Persian translation of the work suffered from lexical mismatches, destruction of rhythm and destruction of vernacular networks, although destruction of rhythms and destruction of vernacular networks were among the most frequently used deformation tendencies. The findings also revealed that the translation has in one way or another maintained the genre and social stance of the author. Overall, it appears that Berman offers a model which is too severe on keeping the form and syntax of the source text in the Persian translation of Hardy’s Tess of the d’Urbervilles.
English Proverbs into Arabic through Machine Translation
Authors: H. Al-khresheh Mohammad , Almaaytah Shahab A.
Published: September 2018

Proverbs are sentences used by people to convey wisdom, truth or morals that have been handed down for generations. Translating them from one language into another through machine translation has been a matter of interest because of their importance in keeping the religious, cultural and historical aspects. The accuracy of machine translation systems has become one of the most important issues nowadays as the demand for online translation is increasing. Therefore, the current study aimed at investigating the linguistic obstacles that machine translation might face in carrying out the same translation from English proverbs into Arabic. It also attempted to confirm the importance of human intervention in solving the issue of accuracy. To achieve these objectives, a group of English proverbs were randomly selected, translated into Arabic by ‘Google translate’ and analysed qualitatively by the researchers. On the one hand, the findings revealed that ‘Google translate’ faced some linguistic obstacles in carrying out the same meaning of English proverbs into Arabic. Lexically, words that have multiple meanings present countless challenges and difficulties to online translation. On the other hand, the different linguistic structures between English and Arabic make the process of translation sometimes a bit challenging as both languages belong to unrelated families. Simply put, machine translation is expected to encounter various problems in providing meaningful logical translation. A detailed discussion is provided and recommendations for further research are given based on the analysis.
