GEOCONSERVATION LEGAL STATUS AND GEOPARK ESTABLISHMENT IN GREECE
Authors: Haidarlis M. , Sifakis A. , Brachou C.
Published: January 2017

Under Greek (and EU) law, geo-conservation (geological conservation) is an issue not being dealt with in an organized and systematic way, in contrast with bio-conservation (nature conservation). Therefore geo-conservation approaches, as the ‘geopark’ concept, are not recognized under Greek legislation and elements of geological heritage can only be granted protection in isolation and in limited extension, mainly as playing a role to the biotic environment. However, to date, geoparks have been established and recognized by the European Geoparks Network (E.G.N.), in Greece. Those geoparks are protected under the Forestry Legislation, the Archeological Legislation or/and the Environmental Legislation. In view of the plans of the Institute of Geology and Mineral Exploration (I.G.M.E.) to expanding the Geoparks Network in Greece, a thorough examination of the available legal tools to protecting elements of geological importance in geoparks is required, with a view to proposing a legal protection regime that would realistically deal with the conservation of geosites and the establishment of geoparks focusing on overlapping with nature conservation areas, namely “Natura 2000 sites”. In addition, building on the experience of the administration and management of national parks and Natura 2000 sites, the available management options will be examined with a view to providing the optimum management alternatives.
EXCAVATION DATA AND FAILURE INVESTIGATION ALONG TUNNEL OF SYMBOL MOUNTAIN
Authors: Chatziangelou M. Chatziangelou M. , Thomopoulos Ach. , Christaras B.
Published: January 2017

The tunnel of Symbol Mountain, which is 1160m long, is placed on South-west of Kavala City at Northern Greece. The tunnel consists of two bores with NW-SE direction, which are connected with two small tunnels. The stability of the rock mass was limited, during the excavation, because the rock mass was often changing, the faults are open, and the aquifer is placed above the excavation. The aim of the present paper is to describe the dangerous geological status of Symbol Mountain and to propose excavation solutions of the unexpected failure conditions. For the above reasons, the sudden changes of the rock mass quality along the tunnel excavation are described. The causes of the geological failures were investigated and the failures were classified. Furthermore, the efficacy of support measures was tested and a relationship between the apparent face of wedges and the shotcrete thickness was proposed.
ENGINEERING GEOLOGICAL AND GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION OF LANDSLIDE EVENTS IN WILDFIRE AFFECTED AREAS OF ILIA PREFECTURE, WESTERN GREECE
Authors: Depountis N. , Lainas S. , Pyrgakis D. , Sabatakakis N. , Koukis G.
Published: January 2017

In August 2007 Ilia Prefecture suffered one of the most devastating wildfires that have ever happened on European level. Approximately 870km2 , mainly forest and agricultural land, were lost, more than 60 people were killed, hundreds were injured and many villages suffered extensive damage. Heavy rainfall and human activities, favoured by the loss of vegetation and the overall susceptibility of geological formations in landsliding, induced the manifestation or reactivation of various scale landslide phenomena. In order to investigate and mitigate the problem University of Patras was commissioned by the Region of Western Greece to undertake an Engineering Geological and Geotechnical investigation. Site investigation accomplished in seven municipalities focusing on several landslide events with serious socio-economic impact and as a result many small scale cases were identified. In each one of these cases large scale engineering geological mapping was conducted and remedial and protection measures were designed.
THE FINE-GRAINED PLIO-PLEISTOCENE DEPOSITS IN ACHAIA – GREECE AND THEIR DISTINCTION IN CHARACTERISTIC GEOTECHNICAL UNITS
Authors: Kouki A. , Rozos D.
Published: January 2017

The fine grained Plio-Pleistocene sediments encountered along the Patras Ring Road project (PRR) were distinguished into two lithological units, the Upper Geotechnical and the Lower Geotechnical Unit, based on the detailed engineering geological – geotechnical mapping, at a scale of 1:5000, on fieldwork, as well as on data gained from the boreholes drilled during the design and construction of the project. These units are distinguishable, stratigraphically successive and present basic differences in lithological composition, consistency and permeability and therefore different mechanical behaviour during construction.
NEW PROPOSED GSI CLASSIFICATION CHARTS FOR WEAK OR COMPLEX ROCK MASSES
Authors: Marinos P. V
Published: January 2017

The paper deals with the geotechnical classification of weak and complex rock masses. The complexity of these geological material demands a more specialized research and geological characterization due to the special features of their rock mass types regarding both their structure and their lithological characteristics. The weak and complex rock masses under consideration, often heterogeneous and containing rocks of extremely low strength, have in most cases undergone highly tectonised disturbance resulting in the destruction of their initial structure, while weathering can be another particular feature. The geotechnical types and their characterization of rock masses that can be developed in flysch, molasse, brecciated limestone, ophiolites and disturbed or weathered gneiss are studied here. In order to describe these masses in a quantitative way and provide numerical values to engineering design, new or revised rock mass classification diagrams are introduced within the general concept of the GSI system, or specific projections inside the existing GSI diagram are proposed The fundamental source for this research was data from the design and construction of 62 tunnels of Egnatia Highway appropriately assessed, processed, correlated and associated with field work.
STRENGTH AND DEFORMABILITY OF SPECIFIC SEDIMENTARY AND OPHIOLITHIC ROCKS
Authors: Marinos P. V , Tsiambaos G.
Published: January 2017

The paper deals with the evaluation of strength and deformability of sedimentary rocks and ophiolites based on the processing of laboratory testing results. Characteristic values and their typical range for the parameters σci, Ei , as well as the Modulus Ratio (MR) are presented. These parameters are significant for the estimation of the strength and deformability of the rock mass since σci is basic component for the solution of Hoek-Brown failure criterion and Ei and MR are important components of the latest rock mass deformability expression (Hoek-Diedrichs, 2006). The recent site investigation and laboratory work undergone for the design of numerous tunnels in the Greek territory provided very good and sufficient data, derived from a specifically established database, for the estimation of strength and deformability of specific rocks. These rocks are sandstones and siltstones of flysch and molassic formations, as well as limestones and ophiolites.
HISTORICAL LANDSLIDES IN THE PREFECTURE OF IOANNINA – COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS OF DATA
Authors: Kalantzi F. , Doutsou I. , Koukouvelas I.
Published: January 2017

The present study assessed landslide events over a time span of fifty years in the prefecture of Ioannina. Historical data analysis commonly provides valuable data for understanding distribution of landslides. The methodology included collection and analysis of articles about landslides events found in the local newspapers between 1960 and 2008, also in the national newspapers (1960-1967) and in the contemporary national newspapers (1995-2008). The time interval selected in this study is representative of the entire time period of systematic newspapers publication. During this time spam, eighty nine historical landslides were identified. Newspaper articles annotate the time and the location of the landslides as well as primarily the role of weather conditions in triggering the landslides. In addition, published articles provide information on the damages caused by the landslides. The study shows that these events occurred due to extremely high precipitation, snowstorms or prolonged rainfall. The monthly distribution of the recorded phenomena shows an increase of landslide events during January-March and November-December, as these are the months with the highest precipitation and snowing in the prefecture. Although time clustering of the landslides within the Ioannina Prefecture in the time interval 1960 to 2006 was found to be repeated every forty years, their spatial clustering appears to change.

Published: January 2017

This paper made an effort through the data and conclusions drawn to highlight the impact of the water element, surface and groundwater in urban and suburban area of Nafplio. Through exploratory wells constructed for this reason ,water - measurements and water – chemical analysis carried out, made a series of thematic maps which are dimensioned Spatiotemporal rain water flocking to urban and suburban area in case of extreme rainfall events, illustrating the depth, the direction of groundwater flow and the corrosivity of groundwater in relation to the foundations. The accuracy of the figures obtained for surface water and groundwater is a function of time series and the density of the network, and certainly is indicative and could be much more detailed if the network was denser. In any case, this work tries to highlight the value that may have similar operations on urban planning and foundations.
COULD WATER CO-MANAGEMENT CONTRIBUTE TO PEACE, IN MIDDLE EAST?
Authors: Christaras B.
Published: January 2017

Water is the most precious resource in the Middle East, more important even than oil, given that while the citizens represent the 5% of the total world population, the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) region contains only 0.9% of global water resources (World Bank, 1996, Allan, 1999). For this reason, almost all conflicts, in Middle East, are mainly related to shared-water resources. Historically, water was very often used as military tool or for religious purposes, Conflicts, for water management, were known from ancient years, till to the recent time. But also in our days, by 2010, the water deficit (difference between water supply and demand) is estimated to be at around 1 billion cubic meters, explaining the importance of the water to the joint futures of Palestinians, Jordanians, and Israelis. For managing the water demand, various projects were proposed or already performed related to deep aquifers pumping, brackish-groundwater reverse-osmosis desalination, sea water desalinization, water transfer using canal or pipeline systems and dam construction. Nevertheless, it is important to understand that Peace can be possible in Middle East only if a rational and fair co-management of water resources could be real.
REMARKS ON THE KARSTIFICATION IN THE WIDER AREA OF THE UPPER MESSINIA CLOSED HYDROGEOLOGICAL BASIN (SW PELOPONNESUS, GREECE)
Authors: Mariolakos I. , Spyridonos E.
Published: January 2017

The Upper Messinia Basin is part of the Kalamata - Kyparissia graben structure, defined by two fault zones, one of E-W direction to the north and one of N-S direction to the east. The Tripolis and the Pindos alpidic units build up the basement of the region, and are covered by post-alpidic Pleistocene and quaternary deposits. The Basin is a closed hydrogeological system. In the upper cretaceous Pindos limestones, we observe two different karst types, according to drilling results. In the western part of the basin, where the limestones appear on the surface, the merokarst type is observed and water flow is limited in separated karstic conduits. On the contrary, in the central part of the basin, where the limestones underlie the clastic post-alpidic formations, the holokarst type is observed and a rich karstic aquifer is developed. This is explained by the closed hydraulic conditions. In the western part of the basin the karstic aquifer is unconfined, while in the central part it is confined, due to the overlying impermeable post-alpidic sediments and the overall closure of underground flow to the south. It appears that the confined conditions led to the development from merokarst to holokarst in this region.

Published: January 2017

According to European legislation, environmental control and monitoring of landfills has become of crucial importance. This study includes a thorough geochemical approach aiming to evaluate the environmental impact of the landfill of Komotini, N. Greece. Samples of waters were taken from inside the working landfill as well as from the area of the neighbouring old landfill. The waters were analyzed chemically (major elements and heavy metals) and isotopically (D and 18O). Also, biogas flow was measured and the ratio CH4/CO2. Based on the geomorphological, hydrogeological and land use data of the area, we proceeded to analyses of waters both from the area of the landfill and from the wider region (drainage basin). The obtained results were used to construct digital maps (GIS) in order to determine the special dispersion of the polluted aquifers. The biogas flow in the old and new garbage burial sites was measured by accumulation chamber device for methane and carbon dioxide ratio determination. The obtained results show an important agent of pollution in the water samples downstream from the landfill and in a distance more than 2km, along the dispersion of the leachate. The land use of the area was taken into account to evaluate the importance and the criticality of the situation.
GROUNDWATER QUALITY OF THE HYDROLOGICAL BASIN OF AMYROS RIVER, AGIA AREA THESSALY, GREECE
Authors: Skordas K. , Tziritis E. , Kelepertsis A.
Published: January 2017

The area of Agia (Thessaly, Central Greece) is a highly cultivated region, whose hydrogeochemical status is influenced both by natural and manmade factors. Chemical analyses of 40 groundwater samples from the examined area, revealed that geology has a significant impact to aquifers chemistry, mainly expressed through the presence of carbonate rocks and evaporitic minerals of the Neogene formations of the area., as well as the ultrabasic rocks of the substrate. The manmade influence is assessed through the elevated values of nitrates (values up to 168,7 mg/L). Furthermore, the analytical results of the groundwaters revealed that NO3-, Fe and Se, in several samples, exceeded the EC and SMCL (USEPA) limits. More specifically, the 20% of NO3- samples exceeded the EC limits as well as the 2,5% of Se in samples. The 2,5% of Fe in samples exceeded both the EC and SMCL (USEPA) limits.

Published: January 2017

A hydrogeological study took place in the broader area of Mesologgi – Aitoliko lagoons (West Greece) aiming at the investigation of a) the hydrogeological conditions of the area as well as the surface and groundwater influences on the quality of the clay deposits found in the lagoons and b) the properties of the clay in order to be identified as “therapeutic peloids”. Due to their location, the clay deposits could be influenced and possibly polluted from the surface waters. The aquifer of the unconsolidated formations presents low hydraulic conductivity, while the carbonate aquifer is bounded from the foregoing aquifer and therefore the possibility of clay pollution from the groundwater is very limited. pH of the sediments showing neutral and alkaline values, limits the mobility of some pollutants. Seawater affects some of the clay samples, which present high electrical conductivity. Iron and manganese show also high concentrations, while some of trace elements such as Cd, Hg, Hf, Be, Ag present concentrations under the detection limit. Most of the organic material of the clay consists of humus and therefore they could be suitable for fangotherapy.

Published: January 2017

A seismic source is defined, in the present work, as the part of the seismogenic layer of theearth’s crust with a circular horizontal dimension (E, R), where E is the epicenter of the largestearthquake (mainshock) ever occurred in this seismic source and radius equal to the half faultlength of this largest earthquake (R=L/2). In addition to foreshocks and aftershocks othersmaller mainshocks occur in other smaller faults of this source or in parts of the main fault.All available historical and instrumental data concerning strong (M³6.0) shallow (h≤60 km) andintermediate depth (60km<h≤100km) shocks which occurred in the Aegean area between 464B.C. and 2008 are used in the present work in an attempt to identify the seismic sources in thisarea, as well as to determine the basic parameters of the largest fault in each source. A particularprocedure is followed to identify 155 seismic sources in this area and determine thebasic parameters of the largest fault in each source. Declustering has been also performed todefine mainshocks in the Aegean area and the completeness of this mainshock catalogue hasbeen determined. Results are summarized in table (1).
MICROSEISMICITY AND SEISMOTECTONIC PROPERTIES OF THE LEFKADA – KEFALONIA SEISMIC ZONE
Authors: Karakostas V. G. , Papadimitriou E. E. , Karamanos Ch. K. , Kementzetzidou D. A.
Published: January 2017

Microseismicity, focal–mechanisms, and previously–published focal parameter data are usedto determine the current tectonic activity of the prominent zone of seismicity in Lefkada and KefaloniaIslands. Recordings from a local network installed and operated on the two Islands, aswell as from permanent stations there, were used to obtain accurate microseismicity locations,which in turn is exploited to reveal properties of smaller localized active structures and thelarge–scale crustal faulting. The microseismicity substantially agrees with the historic seismicityand delineates a relatively narrow, major zone of activity that extends along the westerncoasts of both Islands. Cross sections were used in order to provide a detailedcharacterization of the microseismicity and a high–resolution picture of the seismically definedstructures. For the investigation of the past seismic activity relocation of the hypocenters ofolder events was performed, using a reliable velocity model and time delays for the regional stations,calculated on the basis of the accurately determined focal parameters using the localrecordings. The yielding location improvement contributes to the geometry identification of theactive structures, which were previously obscured by location errors, and which constitute acritical input for the study area seismic hazard assessment.
RECENT SEISMIC ACTIVITY IN CENTRAL GREECE REVEALING LOCAL SEISMOTECTONIC PROPERTIES

Published: January 2017

The December 2008, M=5.2 earthquake occurred in the Voiotikos–Kifissos basin near the town of Amfikleia in Central Greece and was followed by an intense sequence with hundreds of earthquakes. Mainshock source characteristics derived from the recordings of the Greek National Seismological Network are consistent with previous known earthquakes as well as with the current nearly N–S extensional regime. The adequate azimuthal coverage and the calculated time residuals at each seismological station ensure high location accuracy, whereas the stations operated close to the seismic excitations constrained 80% of the focal depths between 8 and 12km. Distances from the mainshock epicenter to the 10 closest seismological stations vary from 15 to 75 km. Hypoinverse and HypoDD were used for locations, and FPFIT was used for fault plane solutions of events with an adequate number of clear first arrivals. The hypocenters and focal mechanisms illuminate a ≈10km–long fault zone striking nearly E–W with oblique normal faulting and a small left lateral component. The Voiotikos–Kifissos basin is bordered in the south by two left–stepping en echelon segments known as the Pavliani fault zone and the Parnassos detachment, which strike NW and dip NE. In our preferred interpretation, the Amfikleia mainshock ruptured a previously recognized south–dipping fault antithetic to the basin border faults. This fault may be associated with the left step on the border fault, which would be releasing if that fault had a sinistral component.

Published: January 2017

The coseismic stress changes due to strong earthquakes (M>6.5) that occurred in Greece and its adjacent areas since the beginning of the 20th century (instrumental era) are calculated and the future seismic hazard expressed in terms of the probabilities of occurrence of M≥6.5 events is assessed. Calculations of the change in Coulomb failure stress reveal that 61 out of 67 ruptures were brought closer to failure by the preceding shocks. A new insight on the evaluation of future seismic hazards, in the study area, is given by translating the calculated coseismic stress changes into earthquake probability. We incorporated the effect of stress change into the time–depended probability estimates using an earthquake nucleation constitutive relation, which includes both permanent and transient effects of stress changes. Taking into account the current stress changes onto each major fault, the probability calculations were performed and given for the whole study area during the next 30 years
MODERATE MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE SEQUENCES IN CENTRAL GREECE (FOR THE YEAR 2008)
Authors: Roumelioti Z. , Kiratzi A.
Published: January 2017

The small-to-moderate magnitude earthquake sequences offshore NE Evia island (Mantoudi, October 2008) and in central Greece, to the NW of the town of Amfiklia (December 2008) are studied in terms of their source parameters and strong shaking in nearby populated areas. Moment tensors of the strongest events of the sequences, their seismogenic faults and the distribution of slip on them are sought through the inversion of regional broadband waveforms. We then apply a forward modelling technique, which incorporates synthetic Green’s functions calculated for a 1D velocity model, previously proposed for the broader studied area, to get a first-order evaluation of the distribution of strong ground shaking around the hypocenters. The Mantoudi earthquake sequence is found to be associated to an offshore NESW trending normal fault that dips to the NW, with a considerable dextral strike-slip component. The Amfiklia earthquake sequence is related to a pure normal, E-W trending fault which dips to the south. This conclusion is drawn by both the distribution of aftershocks and the inversion process for the computation of slip on the seismogenic fault of the strongest event of the sequence (Mw5.1). Forward modelling of strong ground shaking based on event-specific moment tensor and slip distribution indicates low levels of expected ground motion in accordance with the limited observed damage.
CORRELATIONS OF THE MEAN TIME AND MEAN MAGNITUDE OF ACCELERATING PRESHOCKS WITH THE ORIGIN TIME AND MAGNITUDE OF MAINSHOCK
Authors: Scordilis E. M.
Published: January 2017

Forty-five preshock sequences preceding corresponding strong (M≥6.4) mainshocks which occurred recently (since 1980) in a variety of seismotectonic regimes (W. Mediterranean, Aegean, Anatolia, California, Japan, Central Asia, South America) have been examined to identify new predictive properties. It has been observed that the mean origin time, , and the mean magnitude, of the accelerating preshocks of each sequence are correlated with the origin time, tc, and the magnitude, M, of the mainshock, respectively. The following relations have been derived: where sa (in Joule ½ /yr.104 Km2 ) is the Benioff strain rate in each preshock (critical) region and σ is the corresponding standard deviation. The possibility for using these relations as constraints in attempts for intermediate term earthquake prediction is discussed.

Ο Ορφέας του σκότους (Στον κινηματογράφο του Ζαν Κοκτό)
Authors: Kolovos Nikos
Published: January 2017

Lévénement le plus important de la «vie» d' Orphée fut sa descente dans l'Hadès, à laqualle il se résolut, demeuré inconsolable après la mort de sa bien- aimée Eurydice. La «mort» d' Orphée est le second événement extraordinaire de sa vie. Jean Cocteau s'est limité essentiellement à la description du premier événement pour tourner ses films «Orphée» (1950) et «Le Testament d'Orphée» (1959). Pour Cocteau, le cinéma était poétique par excellence, «un véhicule de poésie», selon ses propres termes. Car l'inventif langage audiovisuel lui donnait la possibilité de dépasser la réalité et de se mouvoir librement dans l'irréalité. Cocteau a vu le mythe secondaire mais universel d'Orphée sous deux angles: a) dans son film «Orphée», comme une série d'ombres rayonnantes et une réunion de corps éphémères. Mais certains d'entre eux traversent le temps du monde d' En-Haut tandis que d'autres se meuvent entre celui-ci et le monde d'En-Bas. Un film qui pourrait être lu comme un étrange film noir mais aussi comme un récit chargé de la parole poétique de Cocteau. b) dans son film «Le Testament d'Orphée», comme une possibilité pour Cocteau lui-même de s'incarner en Orphée. En un poète sensible, mélancolique et inquiet errant entre le monde des Enfers et le monde des vivants, prêt à léguer à l'avenir des poètes sa noble et sage expérience. Par ces deux textes filmiques, Cocteau «a usurpé ou s'est approprié» le mythe d'Orphée. Il en a fait un radeau poétique pour façonner la mer d'ombres qui unit les deux univers, celui d'En-Haut et celui d'En-Bas.«Orphée» est à maints égards une version parodique qui transgresse le mythe archétype. «Le Testament d'Orphée» vient en interprétation authentique et en post-scriptum «narcissique» au film précédent. Mais il s'inscrit aussi comme une destruction de la relation excentrique de Cocteau avec le cinéma.

The paper gives a short comparison of three dramatic versions of the Orpheus-myth in Modern Greek drama. Among the mythological themes dramatized in Modern Greece the most frequent is Troia cycle, the Atrides, the Argonautic cycle, heroes like Prometheus, Heracles, Theseus, Zeus etc. Orpheus is quite rare. The first analysis concerns the Greek translation of «Orphée et Euridice», the second reformation opera of Christoph Willibald Gluck, concretely the French version of Pierre Louis Moline (1774 in Paris), which is edited in Greek in Vienna 1796, and highlights the context of this translation. The second is «The Dithyramb of the Rose» (written 1932, translated in French 1933 by Louis Roussel, 1939 in English), performed 1933 in Athens, as a sort of continuation of the Delphic festivals (1927 and 1930), The third is a satiric dramatic version «The process of Orpheus and Eurydice» (1973) where Orpheus is condemned by the rulers of the Underworld because he caused troubles by his invasion with music; the one-act play has to be seen in the context of the political processes at the time of the Junta regime and is very exact in reproducing mythological details.
Σονέτα στον Ορφέα του R. M. RILKE: ερμηνευτική προσέγγιση
Authors: Raizis Marios-Byron
Published: January 2017

The collection Sonette an Orpheus, by Rainer Maria Rilke (1923), is discussed and interpreted as having two functions. First, it constitutes an elegiac composition honoring the memory of a prematurely deceased young lady, and second -and most important- it obliquely suggests and illustrates his personal poetics. His sonnets A-l, B-5, B-6, B-28 and the last one B-29, are presented in a precise rhyming translation into Greek, and their individual symbolic or structural features (e.g., tree, woods, hearing, ear, melody, rose, anemone etc.) are explained as personal signs signifying beauty, transience, vulnerability, emotion, inspiration, creativity etc. which constitute the main themes and artistic concerns of a mature and almost existential Rilke, intimating how he functions as a poet.

Projetos de infraestrutura de transportes demandam estudos de viabilidade como etapa antecessora as atividades de construção. As políticas públicas e os códigos ambientais que regem atualmente o processo de planejamento de transportes são mais abrangentes e complexos quando comparados ao praticado no passado. O processo atual requer a participação pública e a flexibilidade por parte dos atores envolvidos. Isso aumenta o volume de variáveis, de valores e de opiniões envolvidos no processo de tomada de decisão, demandando elevado grau de coordenação dos gestores. Soluções em geopro-cessamento foram desenvolvidas para promover a coordenação, flexibilidade e a robustêz necessárias no planejamento de transportes. A análise multicriterial acoplada a um Sistema de Informações Geográficas (GIS) permite apoiar as decisões em transportes integrando elevada gama elevada de informações, procedimentos e regras de decisão de forma coordenada e organizada. O presente trabalho aborda uma metodologia desenvolvida para processar e ilustrar alternativas de corredores ferroviários que maximizem simultaneamente as viabilidades técnica, econômica e ambiental. A solução integra 35 variáveis organizadas em 5 cenários independentes (mercadológico, logístico, socioeconômico, físico e ambiental) utilizando ferra-mentas GIS básicas e avançadas, bem como o processo analítico hierárquico de tomada de decisão. Com o modelo foi possível desenvolver análises de sensibilidade em diferentes cenários, canalizando alternativas de corredores de viabilidade visando a redução do tempo e do custo nos trabalhos de campo. Contudo a solução resultou em métricas importantes como o controle, a eficiência, a transparência e a organização dos dados e dos processos.

Published: January 2017

O processo de compactação desenvolvido por Proctor é o mais difundido atualmente. A NBR 7182/86, que regu-lamenta este ensaio no Brasil, permite quatro metodologias para execução deste, onde cada uma proporciona distintas estru-turas e porosidade dos solos. Este fato pode influenciar no comportamento mecânico e hidraúlico do solo, principalmente em camadas de pavimentos rodoviários que sofrem à influência de alterações ambientais e provocam variações de umidade nas camadas de base e sub-base. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar influência das diferentes metodologias de execução do ensaio Proctor no comportamento mecânico de solos para uso em pavimentos rodoviários. A fase experimental compreendeu ensaios de compactação, compressão simples, resistência à tração por compressão indireta e determinação da curva caracte-rística por meio da técnica do papel filtro. Por meio destes ensaios pretendeu-se estabelecer correlações entre as umidades do solo, sucção e resistência mecânica destes. Os resultados demonstraram que as variações na umidade e no método de com-pactação induzem a um comportamento mecânico diferenciado e que este pode ser compreendido por meio da relação entre a sucção e o teor de umidade.

Non-physiological antioxidants: How safe?
Authors: Islam Muhammad
Published: January 2017

Antioxidants of various origins, by these days are one of the known health promotion tools in the world. These are also vastly used as over-the-counter medications. Having a protective capacity, antioxidants have been procured much attention in various fields; these include- dietary consumption, medicinal and cosmetic preparations, food and drinks preparation and preservation, and so on. Antioxidants are more concerned with the medical and pharmaceutical fields, where therapeutic applications are the prime apprehension. Our body has a number of antioxidants called physiological antioxidant systems. Generally, antioxidants are the reducing agents. A failure of balance between the production of oxidative substances and internal or physiological antioxidant molecules asks us to intake external or non-physiological antioxidants. How safe the non-physiological antioxidants? This text sketches theoretically a short scenario on safety and precautions of biologically installation of non-physiological antioxidants. This article is an update of previously published article by EC Orthopaedics 5.2 (2017): 29-31, where the author reserves all rights.

Pragmatic Study of Discourse Hegemony on the Enactment of Dhalang Trah in Ruwatan Ceremony: A Critical Discourse Analysis Approach
Authors: Efendi Agus , Purwasito Andrik , Sudardi Bani , Abdullah Wakit
Published: January 2017

This study applies qualitative research with Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) of Fairclough (1995) and the criticism on the ideological dissection of social opacities. The data collection encompasses the interactive and non-interactive techniques which involve the techniques of in-depth interviewing, observation and content analysis. Results of the analysis reveal that units of language use reflected from the texts and contexts of the ruwat puppeteer based genealogy's enactment can be traced from the use of modalities, the phrase ‘mboten kalilan’ (impermissible, unable) in the decree of dhalang ruwat can be further extend to express the word ‘unable’ and ‘able to’, other aspects such as politeness, metaphors, ethos which is classified into the verbal and non-verbal discourse are the devices of discursive enactment of the elite power of dhalang trah. The findings conclude that there is arising symptoms of social inequality narrowing the role and significance of the non-ruwat puppeteers. The hegemonic practice such as the discursive enactment of dhalang trah (descendent of Ki Lebdajiwa) is determined by certain associations which try to normalize certain condition. The argument which refers to the enactment of Ki Lebdajiwa and his descendants as the holder of power is enacted through transactional form, where power is centered on one point.

Objetivo: Determinar la longitud total y diámetro mayor a nivel cervical, medio y apical de los conduc-tos radiculares de la raíz palatina (Rp), raíz mesial (Rm) y raíz distal (Rd) del primer molar superior de-ciduo utilizando la tomografía Cone Beam. Materiales y método: Estudio descriptivo transversal. Una muestra de 21 primeros molares superiores deciduos con la longitud de la raíz completa y sin fractura. Los dientes fueron escaneados utilizando la Tomografía Cone Beam y se midió el diámetro del conducto radicular tomando tres puntos de referencia: cervical, medio y apical. Las imágenes obtenidas fueron analizadas y medidas mediante un software procesador de imágenes 3D. Las medidas de los conductos fueron realizadas por un solo observador (CCI=0.70). Se usaron las pruebas no paramétricas de Kruskal-Wallis para comparar y encontrar las diferencias. Resultados: Longitud media de los primeros molares superiores deciduos fue de 13.53 mm, corona 5.61 mm y raíz 7.92 mm. Diámetro medio del canal radicular de la raíz palatina según corte fue 0.98 mm a nivel cervical, 0.73 mm a nivel medio y 0.50 mm a nivel apical; de la raíz mesial fue 0.60 mm a nivel cervical, 0.46 mm a nivel medio y 0.27 mm a nivel apical; de la raíz distal fue 0.70 mm a nivel cervical, 0.54 mm a nivel medio y 0.37 mm a nivel apical. Conclusión: En los primeros molares superiores deciduos los diámetros de los conductos radiculares de la raíz palatina son mayores a los diámetros de la raíz mesial y la raíz distal en todos los niveles, mientras que la raíz mesial es la raíz que presenta el menor diámetro.
The Tensions Between EFL Teacher Identities and INSET in the Turkish Context
Authors: Güngör Fatih
Published: January 2017

Due to the insufficiency of current in-service training courses which are far from the collaboration and the reflection of teachers, the current study scrutinizes the incongruities between teacher identities and in-service training programs offered by the Ministry of National Education in Turkey based upon the use of the activity theory. In this narrative study, two English as a foreign language teachers reflected on their environment, behaviors, beliefs, competencies, and missions under the heading of teacher identity concept. The results suggest that teachers need a supportive community of practice and a well-tailored mentoring system to be able to reflect on themselves and the context in which they are teaching.

Published: January 2017

Instituições policiais têm se constituído em objeto crescente de preocupações por razões relacionadas às dificuldades que temos de desenvolver mecanismos eficazes de controle da sua atividade, bem como a percepção de que são pouco eficazes no controle do crime. Neste artigo, apresentamos uma reflexão sobre os limites e possibilidades de mudança do nosso modelo policial. Partindo de uma revisão das disfunções que o atual arranjo organizacional possui, analisamos propostas de reforma que englobam desde alterações pontuais na prática policial até transformações estruturais nas instituições existentes, como a adoção do ciclo completo. Por fim, sublinhamos as dificuldades a serem superadas em quaisquer dos cursos de ação delineados para que a mudança em direção a uma polícia mais eficiente na sociedade brasileira possa acontecer.
Magnetically Controlled Photovoltaic Diode Structure
Authors: Dugaev V. K. , Vygranenko Yu. , Vieira M. , Litvinov V. I. , Barnaś J.
Published: January 2017

We propose a new integrated device for spintronics application, which is based on a hybrid metal-semiconductor structure. The device consists of a Si-based p-i-n photodetector sandwiched between two layers of a ferromagnetic metal (3d ferromagnet or half-metallic compound). The photocurrent flowing in such a system is shown to depend on its magnetic configuration. This, in turn, allows controlling the device performance by an externally applied magnetic field. We have estimated magnitude of the effect and also determined the role of relevant material parameters.
