Les plantations artificielles d'Okoumé au Gabon
Authors: Biraud J. , Catinot René
Published: July 2018

Le commerce de l'Okoumé représente 80 % de la vie économique du Gabon mais son avenir est compromis par l'épuisement des forêts naturelles d'Okoumé. Ceci impose la création de quelques 120.000 hectares de plantations artificielles au rythme de 2.000 hectares par an. Des recherches et des essais sont menés depuis 1935 pour déterminer les meilleures méthodes de plantation. Le problème semble avoir été résolu et le rythme de plantation a atteint 1.300 hectares par an. Après avoir retracé l'historique de ces recherches, l'auteur décrit la technique actuellement utilisée.

Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators: An Overview of Implantation Techniques and Clinical Outcomes
Authors: Al-Ghamdi Bandar
Published: July 2018

Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) is a significant health problem worldwide.

Multiple randomized controlled trials have shown that Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators
(ICDs) are effective life-saving management option for individuals at risk of SCD in both primary
and secondary prevention. Although the conventional transvenous ICDs (TV-ICDs) are safe and
effective, there are potential complications associated with its use, including localized pocket or
wound infection or systematic infection, a vascular access related complication such as pneumothorax,
and venous thrombosis, and lead related complications such as dislodgement, malfunction, and
perforation.

Furthermore, transvenous leads placement may not be feasible in certain patients like those with
venous anomaly or occlusion, or with the presence of intracardiac shunts. Transvenous leads extraction,
when needed, is associated with considerable morbidity & mortality and requires significant
skills and costs. Totally subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD) is designed to afford the same life-saving
benefit of the conventional TV-ICDs while avoiding the shortcomings of the TV-leads and to simplify
the implant techniques and hence expand the use of ICDs in clinical practice. It becomes
commercially available after receiving CE mark in 2009, and its use increased significantly after its
FDA approval in 2012. This review aims to give an overview of the S-ICD system components,
implantation procedure, clinical indications, safety, efficacy, and future directions.

As disputas coloniais e neocoloniais em torno do futebol: Portugal e França, dois casos significativos
Authors: Melo Lucas Martins Santos
Published: July 2018

Uma das características da diáspora africana é o movimento voluntário de pessoas para novas regiões, onde, geralmente,

há uma demanda de mão de obra específica. Sendo o futebol uma das ocupações profissionais mais específicas

que existe e dado o crescente número de jogadores africanos atuando nos grandes centros do futebol mundial,

decidimos fazer uma breve investigação para aferir essa relação entre diáspora e futebol. Dessa forma, escolhemos

dois países que possuem uma extensa comunidade e uma larga tradição de recepcionar imigrantes, dentre outras

categorias profissionais, a de jogador de futebol. Referimo-nos aos casos de Portugal e da França, dois países que

adotaram o sistema legal dos assimilados, que tiveram um largo conjunto de territórios, principalmente na África,

e que usufruem proficuamente dos “pés de obra” das colônias de outrora. Este artigo, elaborado a partir de uma

literatura científica sobre o tema e dados quantitativos, tem a intenção de mostrar os usos coloniais e neocoloniais

do futebol empreendidos por estes países e traçar uma trajetória histórica correspondente para tal uso.

Curadoria em serviços streaming de música: infra-poderes algorítmicos e micro-políticas da escuta
Authors: Rodrigues Rodrigo Fonseca e , Cardoso Ana Maria Pereira
Published: July 2018

O artigo trata das modalidades de curadoria desenvolvidas por serviços streaming de música e como afetam hábitos e práticas culturais na experiência da escuta. A discussão pauta-se em estudo da literatura, assinalando características dos processos de recomendação musical oferecidos pelos serviços comerciais com base na combinação de análises algorítmicas com intervenção de curadores especializados. São comparadas políticas de curadoria dos serviços Spotify, Tidal, AppleMusic e Radiooooo. Levantam-se questões referentes à escuta musical exercida por meio das plataformas streaming sob o foco do conceito de micro-política de Michel Foucault. Indagamos se, mesmo sob as condições econômicas e midiáticas instauradas por tais dispositivos tecnológicos, as ações, mediações e interações, que se exercem como micro-poderes, logram ultrapassar a dinâmica interativa de infra-poderes preestabelecidos pela lógica dos sistemas automatizados de recomendação e contagiam práticas musicais criativas.

Curadoria educativa em arquivos-museus literários: reflexões iniciais
Authors: Cavalheiro Marcos Ulisses
Published: July 2018

Compreendidos como lugares de memória e/ou espaços científicos e culturais, os “arquivos-museus literários” brasileiros são unidades de informação de missão e valores engajados com a preservação e disseminação da memória da Literatura e do seu patrimônio documental; para tanto, recolhe, trata e divulga acervos cuja proveniência são personalidades da “arte da palavra”. Objetivamos revisitar suas práticas documentárias pelas vias da curadoria educativa, da experiência (ação cultural) e da construção (arte-educação), de modo a concebê-las como estratégias de mediação e democratização do acesso à informação/arte. Trata-se de um recorte teórico, documental, exploratório e qualitativo; o norte interdisciplinar da Arquivologia com a Museologia fez-se essencial ao processo investigativo, para fins de assimilação quanto à natureza do “documento”, não outro, senão o “documento de arquivo-museu” que, pela ótica curatorial, tem seus valores probatório, testemunhal, artístico e patrimonial, tendo como foco, sobretudo, a acessibilidade. Em síntese, registramos nossas primeiras impressões da relação entre a curadoria educativa, o arquivo-museu, a arte-literária e o acesso à informação.

Identifica termos no 2º Plano Diretor para o Desenvolvimento da Informação e Tecnologia de Informação em Saúde (2º PlaDITIS) e relacioná-los com a Gestão de Documentos (GD). Parte dos pressupostos de que os arquivos são mecanismos de transferência de informação com potencial para propiciar inovações nos serviços, e que diretrizes da GD se aplicam nas Políticas de Informação em Saúde. Os métodos de Análises de Conteúdo e de Redes Semânticas são utilizados como estratégias para as informações levantadas nas pesquisas documental e bibliográfica. Os resultados revelam que os termos relacionados aos princípios, técnicas e procedimentos arquivísticos são pouco referenciadas no 2º PlaDITIS, o que resulta na necessidade de aprofundar os temas relacionados à GD, aos processos de tratamento, organização e disseminação das informações orgânicas em saúde nas próximas edições do plano. Por fim, é requerido que os gestores e os agentes da assistência, promoção e prevenção à saúde adotem as práticas arquivísticas possibilitando a geração de inovações, reduzindo a incongruência, profissionalizando a GD e potencializando a aprendizagem organizacional e as inovações nos organismos produtores de serviços de atenção à saúde.

Published: July 2018

A focus on novel, confirmatory, and statistically significant results by journals that publish experimental audit research may result in substantial bias in the literature. We explore one type of bias known as p-hacking: a practice where researchers, whether knowingly or unknowingly, adjust their collection, analysis, and reporting of data and results, until nonsignificant results become significant. Examining experimental audit literature published in eight accounting and audit journals within the last three decades, we find an overabundance of p-values at or just below the conventional thresholds for statistical significance. The finding of too many “just significant” results is an indication that some of the results published in the experimental audit literature are potentially a consequence of p-hacking. We discuss potential remedies that, if adopted, may to some extent alleviate concerns regarding p-hacking and the publication of false positive results.

Managing Group Audit Risk in a Multicomponent Audit Setting
Authors: Graham Lynford , Bedard Jean C. , Dutta Saurav K.
Published: July 2018

This article summarizes “Managing Group Audit Risk in a Multicomponent Audit Setting” (Graham, Bedard, and Dutta 2018), who address a long-standing issue in audit practice that remains a concern of regulators and auditors in the current environment. Specifically, how can auditors demonstrate that sufficient evidence has been gathered to support the auditor's opinion when the entity comprises multiple components and when sufficient evidence cannot be attained by selecting all or just a few large components for examination? The model presented in the original paper conforms to the general principles of multicomponent audits in auditing standards literature. By explicitly documenting assumptions used in applying the model, the auditor articulates the elements of judgment going into scoping decisions regarding the number of components selected and the extent of procedures to be performed at those locations. Here, we show a simple example illustrating the model, while the original paper contains computation details and more complex scenarios.
Using Blockchain to Aggregate and Share Misconduct Issues across the Accounting Profession
Authors: Sheldon Mark D.
Published: July 2018

A perennial challenge in the accounting profession is how to aggregate and share instances of practitioner misconduct among numerous relevant parties. At present, both the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) offer solutions for centralized collection of misconduct, but both likely experience issues with incomplete reporting from key constituents. I propose a novel use of blockchain technology to address this issue, such that all key parties in the accounting profession leverage an accountancy blockchain to aggregate and share instances of practitioner misconduct across the country on a nearly real-time basis. Such a network creates an immutable record of misconduct and allows key constituents in the accounting profession to work together and share information as peers without the risk of one party taking control of the ledger. I close by discussing blockchain-specific roadblocks to realizing this proposed model.

Authors: Hsieh Tien-Shih , Wang Zhihong , Abdolmohammadi Mohammad J.
Published: July 2018

This study investigates factors associated with public companies' choices of eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) implementation strategies. These strategies include Disclosure Management Solution (DMS) versus Stand-Alone Solution (SAS), and outsourcing versus in-house XBRL implementation. Using survey data provided by the Financial Executive Research Foundation, we find that perceived helpfulness of educational resources and perceived difficulties with companies' reporting review process are positively related to the use of DMS. Concerns about XBRL compliance and perceived difficulties with companies' accounting processes are inversely related to the use of DMS. Moreover, advanced XBRL knowledge and perceived helpfulness of XBRL guidance materials are negatively related to the outsourcing of XBRL implementation. Finally, concerns about XBRL compliance and earnings announcement time lags are positively associated with the outsourcing of XBRL implementation. Our results provide guidance for policymakers in developing XBRL implementation policies and for XBRL service providers in designing XBRL solutions for their clients.

Published: July 2018

Black cumin plant ‘Habatussaudah’ (Nigella sativa L.) is a new introduced plant in Indonesia, therefore it is necessary to study cultivation method in order to produce high yield of good quality. This study was aimed to evaluate the growth of black cumin on different composition of media and watering intervals. The experiment was conducted at Sarongge Experimental Station, Cipanas, West Java (1,117 m asl) from June to October 2016. The experiment used a randomized block design with three replications. The treatment consisted of two factors, namely the composition of the planting media and the watering interval. The composition of planting medium consisted of  soil only (M0), soil: manure (1:1, v/v) (M1), soil: manure: rice-hull charcoal (1: 1: 1) (M2), soil: manure: rice-hull charcoal (2: 1: 1) (M3). The watering interval consisted of 4 levels, i.e., watering every 4, 7, 10 and 13 days. The results showed that soil with manure and or rice-hull charcoal increased the growth of vegetative, generative and production of black cumin 1.5 g per plant. Watering at intervals of 4 and 7 days produced better plant growth than those of  watering with longer intervals.

Published: July 2018

Improvement of rice panicle architecture is one important objective in the development of improved new-plant-type rice varieties. Panicle architecture is directly related to yield components in rice. The aims of this study were to obtain information on inheritance pattern of panicle architecture on F2 generation and to obtain the best selected individuals. The experiment was conducted at Sawah Baru Experimental Farm Bogor, from May to October 2016. Two F2 populations derived from crosses of IPB 3S/IPB160-F-36, IPB160-F-36/IPB 5R and three genotypes of parents were used as experimental materials. A total of 208 and 204 plant samples were taken representing each of the two F2 populations and 20 plants representing the parents. Three panicles were taken randomly from each individual as observed samples. The results showed that additive gene action influenced number of primary branches in population of IPB 3S/IPB160-F-36, whereas in the population of IPB160-F-36/IPB 5R, most of the panicle architecture traits were controlled by additive gene action except for the length of primary branches. All of panicle architecture traits were controlled by relatively many genes except length of primary branches and number of grains on primary branches in the IPB 3S/IPB160-F-36 population. The panicle architecture of the two observed population was genetically varies. The heritability estimates were moderate to high. Selection could increase the mean of panicle architecture traits using either single or multiple traits simultaneously.

Safety Assessment of Dairy Microorganisms, Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Isolated from Traditional Yoghurt Cultures
Authors: Gezginç Yekta , Demirbanka Fatma Gül , Dağgeçen Elif Coşkun , Akyol İsmail
Published: July 2018

The traditional fermented food consumption has become very popular because of the increasing public concern about food additives. Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) species have traditionally been used as starter cultures in the production of fermented food. LAB can acquire antibiotic resistance from other bacteria in the natural environment and different resistant mechanisms via mutation. The resistance of bacteria to antibiotics is an increasingly important public health problem worldwide. In this study, antibiotic resistance of 115 Streptocoocus thermophilus and 35 Lactobacillus bulgaricus isolates obtained from traditional Turkish yogurts were tested against kanamycin, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, ampicillin, rifampicin, tetracycline, vancomycin and gentamicin using disc diffusion method. Study results showed that most strains were susceptible to all the antibiotics tested while a few of them were determined to be resistant only to kanamycin, ampicillin, erythromycin, and tetracycline. When contacted in a human body, resistant strains might transfer the related genes to the pathogenic species, which may result in devastating consequences.

Published: July 2018

Suprapubic catheter placement is a common method of bladder diversion. To date, there are limited reports describing safe placement of large-bore (18–28 F) catheters as smaller catheters often clog and require upsizing procedures. We retrospectively evaluate the image-guided percutaneous placement of large-bore catheters by interventional radiologists in our institution, totaling 51 catheters in 51 patients over 5 years. We successfully placed a large-bore catheter in 96% (49/51) of first attempts with no post-procedural complications. This data demonstrates that percutaneous placement of large-bore suprapubic catheters by interventional radiologists is a safe and less-invasive bladder diversion alternative to traditional blind or open surgical techniques.

Published: July 2018

Isomorphousβ-triketonate-based lanthanoid polymers containing tris(4-methylbenzoyl)methanide (mtbm) and Rb+with formula,{[Ln(Rb)(mtbm)4]2}n (Ln = Eu3+ and Nd3+) have been synthesised and structurally characterised. The photophysical properties for the Nd3+complex presented long lifetimes and relatively high quantum yields in comparison with analogous β-diketonate complexes. Mixed lanthanoid complexes were also formed and their luminescence properties studied, with effective sensitisation of the 4F3/2 of Nd3+ via the 5D0 of Eu3+, which is to the best of our knowledge the first example of Eu3+to Nd3+sensitisation in a coordination complex or polymer.
Posverdad y exposición selectiva a fake news. Algunos ejemplos concretos de Argentina
Authors: Clavero Juan
Published: July 2018

Este trabajo se enmarca en el debate sobre la posverdad y el impacto de las fake news en el periodismo y las audiencias. Pero no solo eso, sino que busca comprender este fenómeno desde una perspectiva sociocultural, más allá del entorno periodístico. En este contexto, la posverdad no puede ser considerada como una serie de eventos individuales inconexos, sino que debe ser pensada como un fenómeno que atraviesa el debate público actual, tal como lo mostró el último escándalo de Cambridge Analytica y Facebook, y la utilización de algoritmos que pueden llegar a generar un alto grado de opacidad en la información. Este trabajo, por último, también refleja la multiplicación y fragmentación de las formas en que las mentiras se propagan y perpetúan en el caos de la comunicación contemporánea.
El periodismo científico y el uso de las emociones en las narrativas noticiosas en la era de la posverdad. Un estudio comparativo entre el Reino Unido y la India
Authors: Lugo-Ocando Jairo , Glück Antje
Published: July 2018

En este artículo, examinamos el poder del periodismo científico para atraer y vincularse a las audiencias noticiosas. Observamos cómo las expectativas normativas de ser objetivos e imparciales se han convertido en un obstáculo para la comunicación de la ciencia, a pesar de que son absolutamente necesarias para lograr rigurosidad. El problema es que, aun cuando los periodistas reconocen la necesidad de incorporar elementos subjetivos relacionados con lo emotivo y humano, la naturaleza de la fuente científica impide y limita la capacidad del periodismo de hacer la noticia científica relevante en una era en que las emociones en la comunicación pública son cada vez más relevantes. El artículo refleja los resultados de una investigación desarrollada entre los años 2015 y 2018, y se basa en entrevistas semiestructuradas a 52 periodistas en la India y el Reino Unido, así como en la lectura cerrada de una muestra de noticias científicas producidas en el Reino Unido.
