Abbey Road: The (Ongoing) Journey to Reliable Expert Evidence
Authors: Chin Jason
Published: December 2018

Canadian courts draw a tenuous distinction between expert scientific evidence and what they characterize as specialized knowledge gained through the expert witness’s experience, training, and research. This characterization is based on unclear criteria and has significant consequences. Notably, specialized knowledge regularly receives considerably less scrutiny than that which is characterized as science, while still often serving as powerful inculpatory evidence in criminal trials. Moreover, specialized knowledge is often provided by figures that carry an air of authority, like police officers and scientists. This article focuses on the leading opinion on specialized knowledge, the Court of Appeal for Ontario’s decision in R v Abbey. An analysis of Abbey’s application to three fields of contested specialized knowledge (including the evidence the Abbey Court admitted, but fresh evidence revealed as fundamentally unreliable) provides two general insights. First, while Abbey could be interpreted as providing for a flexible and probing analysis of all expert evidence, courts have often relied on it to justify giving almost no scrutiny to specialized knowledge. Second, this review of the post-Abbey jurisprudence suggests that scrutiny focused on the transparency of the expert’s data and analysis, and whether that analysis can reliably be applied to the relevant factual question, may provide a valuable way to evaluate expertise.
Using globally threatened pelagic birds to identify priority sites for marine conservation in the South Atlantic Ocean
Authors: Dias Maria P. , Oppel Steffen
Published: December 2018

The Convention on Biological Diversity aspires to designate 10% of the global oceans as Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), but so far, few MPAs protect pelagic species in the high seas. Transparent scientific approaches are needed to ensure that these encompass areas with high biodiversity value. Here we used the distribution of all globally threatened seabirds breeding in a centrally located archipelago (Tristan da Cunha) to provide guidance on where MPAs could be established in the South Atlantic Ocean. We combined year-round tracking data from six species, and used the systematic conservation-planning tool, ‘Zonation’, to delineate areas that would protect the largest proportion of each population. The areas used most intensively varied among species and seasons. Combining the sites used by all six species suggested that the most important areas of the South Atlantic are located south of South Africa, around the central South Atlantic between 30°S and 55°S, and near South America. We estimated that the longline fishing effort in these intensively used areas is around 11 million hooks on average each year, highlighting the need for improved monitoring of seabird bycatch rates and the enforcement of compliance with bird bycatch mitigation requirements by fisheries. There was no overlap between the identified areas and any of the existing MPAs in the South Atlantic. The conservation of these highly mobile, pelagic species cannot be achieved by single countries, but requires a multi-national approach at an ocean-basin scale, such as an agreement for the conservation of biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction under the United Nation Convention on the Law of the Sea.
Disposisi Berpikir Terbuka secara Aktif: Definisi, Pengukuran, dan Kaitannya dengan Prestasi Akademik
Authors: Aditomo Anindito
Published: December 2018

This study seeks to evaluate the validity of a scale intended to measure actively open-minded thinking (AOT), and to explore the relationships between AOT and academic performance. The Rasch model was applied to evaluate the scale’s construct validity through the mirt package in R. Scale validation was based upon a sample of university students in Surabaya (N=424), while regression analysis to predict academic achievement was based on a sub-sampel for which data was available (n=220). Rasch analysis results suggested that the 10-item self-report scale had good construct validity, especially when measuring participants from the lower end of the trait level spectrum. AOT was found to be positively and moderately correlated with conscientiousness and openness to experience. AOT also predicted higher performance in a course which assessed students’ ability to analyse and evaluate arguments, as well as overall performance assessed by their grade point average (GPA) 18 months later. These results suggest that AOT is an important variable that can be adequately measured using a self-report instrument. Further work should focus on creating items which are more difficult to endorse.
Unusually devastating tornadoes in the United States: 1995--2016
Authors: Fricker Tyler , Elsner James B.
Published: December 2018

Previous research has identified a number of physical, socioeconomic, and demographic factors related to tornado casualty rates. However, there remains gaps in our understanding of community-level vulnerabilities to tornadoes. Here a framework for systematically identifying the most unusually devastating tornadoes, defined as those where the observed number of casualties far exceeds the predicted number, is provided. Results show that unusually devastating tornadoes occur anywhere tornadoes occur in the United States, but rural areas across the Southeast appear to be most frequented. Five examples of unusually devastating tornadoes impacting four communities are examined in more detail. In addition, results highlight that cities and towns impacted by unusually devastating tornadoes have their own socioeconomic and demographic profiles. Identifying geographic clusters of unusually devastating tornadoes builds a foundation to address community-level causes of destruction that supports ethnographic and qualitative---in addition to quantitative---studies of place-based vulnerability.

Authors: Nauque Nelsinio , Morales Núñez Gissela , Lescano Palacios Javier
Published: December 2018

Introducción: La espondilitis anquilosante es una enfermedad inflamatoria crónica que afecta fundamentalmente a las articulaciones de la columna vertebral, las cuales tienden a soldarse entre sí, provocando una limitación de la movilidad. Como resultado final se produce una pérdida de flexibilidad de la columna, quedándose rígida y fusionada mediante osificaciones que forman uniones entre articulaciones de la columna, tanto articulaciones facetarias como discos intervertebrales. Es una enfermedad frecuente, sobre todo en la raza blanca (0.5-1% de la población). Habitualmente aparece entre los 20 y 30 años de edad. El tratamiento de esta patología comprende AINES a dosis máxima como fármacos de primera línea y terapia física (terapia inicial), y en caso de no respuesta pueden ser utilizados fármacos inhibidores de TNF alfa, que han mostrado éxito terapéutico sobre todo en etapas tempranas. Se asocia a diferentes lesiones inflamatorias, donde el compromiso puede ser óseo, del disco, de articulaciones sinoviales y/o entesis. Las lesiones vertebrales llevan en última instancia a la formación de sindesmófitos y anquilosis.

Objetivo: Describir un caso de Pan hipopituitarismo secundario a Síndrome de Sheehan.

Material y Métodos: Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo, presentación de caso clínico.

Resultados: Se presenta el caso de una paciente femenina de 72 años de edad que acude por dolor lumbar de 2 meses de evolución, sin causa aparente, acompañado de edema de miembros inferiores y parestesias, escala de Glasgow 15/15, en la RMN de columna lumbar se observa imagen difusa a nivel de L4 - L5, la movilidad y la fuerza estaban conservadas. Evolutivamente la RMN reporta Espondilodiscitis a nivel de L4- L5. Al no ceder la sintomatología con tratamiento fisioterapéutico ni analgésico. Se decidió intervencionismo quirúrgico encontrando lesión tipo Fusión a nivel L4-L5 con inestabilidad vertebral, se realizó Artrodesis Lumbosacra. El estudio histopatológico mostro signos compatibles de Espondilitis Anquilosante.

Conclusión: Aunque la espondilitis anquilosante es más común en varones entre 20-30 años de edad, debe considerarse como un diagnóstico diferencial en mujeres de edad avanzada con dolor lumbar de etiología no especificada, para un tratamiento correcto.

Substitution of chemical fertilizer nitrogen through Rhizobium inoculation technology
Authors: Paudyal Som Prasad , Gupta V.N.P.
Published: December 2018

Nitrogen is one of the most essential elements for plants growth and development. Urea is commonly used as a substitute for chemical nitrogen. Rhizobium inoculation technology for legume crop was evaluated in a number of field experiments comparing with 80kg urea per hectare application. The inoculation and urea application trial showed almost similar biomass accumulation, nodule number and nodule dry weight compared to un-inoculated control. The symbiotic effectiveness with inoculated and urea application showed similar results. The inoculant strains isolated locally from Mucuna pruriens (velvet bean) were found suitable for inoculants production. The bio-technology of inoculation can be a promising and cheap alternative of urea for the legume crops.

Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis is a gram-positive bacillus that causes caseous lymphadenitis in goats and sheep. Among its virulence factors are the pld proteins (Phospholipase D), cpp (Serine protease CP40), nanH (Neuraminidase H), sodC (Superoxide Dismutase C), spaC (Adesina SpaC) and pknG (Protein Kinase G). Objective: this study aimed to verify the transcription of these genes in macrophages of two lineage of mice infected in vitro with a virulent strain of C. pseudotuberculosis (CP1002), through the qRT-PCR technique. In parallel, the expression of pld, cpp, nanH, sodC and spaC genes in these same cells was also studied. Method: the total RNA from macrophages of C57BL/6 and Balb/c mice was extracted, and the complementary DNA was synthesized to the extracted RNA. The detection of messenger RNA from PknG, Pld, CP40, NanH, SodC and SpaC was obtained by quantitative PCR. Results: the six genes in infected mouse macrophages of Balb/c and C57BL/6 lineages were expressed in vitro in the three-time intervals (1, 12 and 24 hours after infection). The transcription intensity of pknG, pld, cpp, nanH, sodC and spaC genes one hour after infection appears to be greater than in the subsequent intervals, both in Balb/c macrophages and in C57BL/6 macrophages, although in the first cited all the genes show a supposedly accentuated transcript intensity in this interval. The pknG gene appears to have a more intense transcription magnitude than the others in both types of animals. Conclusion: the pknG, pld, cpp, nanH, sodC and spaC genes are transcribed into Balb/c and C57BL/6 macrophages, with apparently more pronounced expression in the first hour after infection in both types of cells. All genes appear to exhibit more intense transcription in Balb/c macrophages.

The present study aims to report a case suggestive of Mycoplasma spp. in a nutria, in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil, treated at the Center for Wildlife Rehabilitation and Center and Screening of Wild Animals, Federal University of Pelotas (NURFS / CETAS – UFPel), an adult and male nutria, about 4.8 kg, was rescued at Praia do Laranjal, in the municipality of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. During the clinical care of the animal, it was observed that it had motor incoordination and prostration, besides difficulty in food intake. Blood samples were collected from the animal, packed in a tube containing anticoagulant ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), to perform blood counts. The hemogram was performed by cellular counting, using veterinary automation pocH-100iV Diff - Sysmex®; evaluation of blood smear, previously stained with Panotico Rápido®, by light microscopy; and measurement of total plasma proteins and plasma fibrinogen through refractometry. Through cell counting and measurement of total plasma proteins and plasma fibrinogen, it was possible to observe that the animal had anemia, leukocytosis and a possible hyperfibrinogenemia. Blood smear observation showed extracellular basophilic structures attached to the red blood cells, compatible with the morphological description of Mycoplasma spp., suggesting acute hemoplasmosis. In the clinical setting, antibiotic therapy with 2.5% enrofloxacin (7 mg / kg) was instituted. After 15 days of therapeutic protocol, it was possible to observe clinical improvement and erythrocyte parameters of the animal, suggesting that the success of the therapeutic protocol corroborates with the suggestive infectious disease.

OSMANLI DEVLETİ ÖNCESİNDE VEZİRLİK
Authors: BARDAKÇI Veli Vehbi
Published: December 2018

Özet:
Vezirlik,
devlet teşkilâtında hükümdarlıktan sonra yer alan ikinci önemli icra makamıdır.
Buna göre vezir hükümdarın bütün işlerini yüklenen, birçok yetkiyi elinde
bulunduran kişidir. Hz. Peygamber (sas) devrinden itibaren Abbâsîler dönemine
kadar istişare geleneği olmakla beraber, vezir unvanlı görevliler devlet
teşkilâtında yer almamıştır. Emevîler döneminde halifenin sırdaşı olarak bu
görevi kâtipler yerine getirmiştir. Abbâsîler, ilk devirlerinde Bizanslılardan
ve Sâsânîlerden etkilenerek vezirlik makamını ihdas etmişlerdir. Vezirlik
makamı, Hârûn Reşîd’in Yahya bin Hâlid’i geniş yetkilerle vezir tayin etmesiyle
en güçlü dönemine ulaşmıştır. Daha sonra Türk devlet teşkilâtında da görülen
vezirlik kurumu, önceki dönemlerin etkisini taşır. Nitekim Büyük Selçuklu ve Anadolu Selçuklu
devlet teşkilatlarında Abbâsîler, Sâmânoğulları ve Gazneliler örnek alınarak
vezirlik kurumu oluşturulmuştur. Devlet işleri vezirin başkanlık yaptığı Divan
tarafından yürütülmüştür. Harizmşahlar ve İlhanlılar da Büyük Selçuklu
Devleti’nin teşkilât yapısından örnek alarak hükümdarın mutlak vekili olan
veziri geniş yetkilerle merkezi idarenin en üst noktasına yerleştirmişlerdir.
New genus and new species of the family Issidae (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Fulgoroidea) from Southern Spain
Authors: Gnezdilov V.M. , den Bieman C.F.M.
Published: December 2018

A new genus, Dozierana gen. nov., is erected for Thionia gibbicollis Dozier, 1931 which is transferred from the family Issidae Spinola, 1839 to the family Nogodinidae Melichar 1898, subfamily Colpopterinae Gnezdilov, 2003. This new combination increases the fauna of Colpopterinae of Haiti Island up to 3 genera with 5 species. Accordingly, the family Issidae is no longer formally known from the island. Dozierana gen. nov. is characterized by wide metope, with distinct median carina and very weak sublateral carinae, upper margin of metope concave; coryphe 3 times as wide as long medially; large ocelli present; pronotum short, with 4 lateral carinae, its anterior margin strongly convex and posterior margin strongly concave; mesonotum 7 times as long as pronotum along midline, greatly elevated along median carina, with two lateral carinae joined with median one in shape of inverted “V”; fore wings wide, with wide hypocostal plate and rich cross-venation through whole wing, except subcostal area; basal cell large oblong-oval; costal vein with distinct upper keel appearing as a separate vein; clavus as long as whole wing, open; hind tibiae with single lateral spine subapically.
« L’art de perdre », le professionnel résilient
Authors: Boitier Marie , Jerman Lambert , Rivière Anne
Published: December 2018

Cet article développe le concept de « professionnalisme résilient » pour comprendre le travail identitaire du contrôleur de gestion dans une organisation publique. À partir d’entretiens biographiques, les auteurs montrent comment le contrôleur compose avec une perception dégradée de lui-même, se résigne à affronter les difficultés dans la durée sans abandonner sa mission, et adopte une logique personnelle de dépassement ou de contournement des antagonismes. Ces trois ensembles de pratiques et discours permettent de comprendre une facette méconnue du travail identitaire, i.e. comment l’individu se construit en professionnel par sa capacité à résister et à absorber les difficultés.
Effet de levier du parrainage sur l’efficacité d’une action de marketing direct
Authors: Herrmann Jean-Luc , Derbaix Christian , Kacha Mathieu
Published: December 2018

À ce jour aucune étude n’a montré l’effet de levier du parrainage dans d’autres actions de communication marketing en termes de comportement. Pour combler cette carence, un publipostage promotionnel mettant en avant (ou non) le statut de parrain d’une enseigne de magasins a été envoyé, d’une part à 1 270 supporters, et d’autre part à 1 270 non-supporters, de l’équipe parrainée. Leurs comportements de visite et d’achat dans 28 magasins du parrain ont ensuite été suivis pendant trois semaines. Les résultats montrent que la mise en avant du parrainage influence les comportements des supporters de l’équipe, mais pas ceux des non-supporters, soulignant l’importance de l’attachement à l’entité parrainée.
Quelle est la valeur des entreprises légales-mafieuses ?
Authors: Champeyrache Clotilde
Published: December 2018

La présence d’entreprises légales possédées par des mafieux et la possibilité pour l’État de les confisquer posent la question de leur valeur réelle. Notre étude montre que la valeur de ces entreprises est difficile à évaluer car elles fonctionnent dans un réseau mafieux capable de construire des actifs spécifiques. Par ailleurs, la mafia utilise son réseau d’entreprises pour établir une rareté artificielle et prendre le contrôle des marchés infiltrés, ce qui crée une valeur artificielle. Enfin, la mafia utilise également des mécanismes pour, ultérieurement, obscurcir la valeur de ses entreprises.

Published: December 2018

Bu
çalışmada koç katım sezonunda koç etkisinin farklı uygulamalarının sürüdeki koç
katım, doğum sezonu ve döl verimine etkisi araştırıldı. Sürülere aynı tarihte
koç katımından sekiz gün sonra işletmelerden birinde koçlar altı gün süreyle
ayrılırken (İşletme I) diğer işletmede (İşletme II) koçlar ayrılmadı. Koçların
ayrıldığı işletmede koçların tekrar katımından sonraki 19 günde koyunların (271/300)
%90,3’ünde aşımlar gerçekleşti. Koçların ayrılmadığı işletmede ise 50 günde koyunların
(388/400) %97’sinde aşımlar gerçekleşti. Her iki işletmede de çiftleşmeler elde
aşım ile gerçekleştirildi.  Uygulama
yapılan işletmede aşım sezonu 39 günde tamamlanırken diğer işletmede 65 günde
tamamlanmıştır. Araştırmanın yapıldığı işletmeler doğum süreleri yönünden
değerlendirildiğinde; uzaklaştırma yapılan işletmede doğuran koyunların (254/291)
%87,3’si doğumların yoğunlaştığı 20 günde gerçekleşti. Doğum sezonu 41 günde
tamamlandı. Uygulama yapılmayan işletmede ise doğuran koyunların (326/373) %87,4’ü
doğumların yoğunlaştığı 29 günde gerçekleşirken, doğum sezonu 63 günde
tamamlandı. Uygulamalar arasında aşım sezonu süresinde fark olduğu (P< 0.05)
ancak doğum süresinde fark olmadığı tespit edildi. (P≥0.05). Kuzu veriminde uygulamalar
arasında fark olmadığı belirlendi (P≥0,05). Değerlendirmeler istatistiki olarak
Chi-Square yöntemi ile karşılaştırıldığında aşım ve doğum süreleri açısından
uzaklaştırma yapılan işletme lehinde önemli olduğu görülmektedir.

Sonuç olarak koç katım
mevsiminde koçların sürüye 8 gün katılıp 6 gün ayrılması sonrasında tekrar
katılması, aşım ve doğum sezonunun zaman olarak daha kısa sürede tamamlanmasını
sağlamakla birlikte istatistiki fark oluşturmadığı belirlenmiştir.
Sera Koşullarında Melez Tilapiaların Sarımsak (Allium sativum) destekli yemlerle beslenmesinin büyüme performansına ve vücut besin bileşenleri üzerine etkileri
Authors: ÖZGÜVEN Alp , DİKEL Suat
Published: December 2018

Bu çalışmada melez tilapia yavrularının (Oreochromis niloticus x O.aureus) farklı oranlarda sarımsak desteğiyle (Allium sativum) beslenmesi sonucunda, büyüme parametreleri üzerine olan etkisi araştırılmıştır. Balıklar (2.57 ± 0.01 g), beslemede 0% (kontrol), 0.5% ve %1 sarımsak konsantrasyonlarına sahip üç deney grubuna ayrılmış ve günlük vücut ağırlıklarının %2'si kadar beslenmiştir. Deneysel beslenme periyodunun sonunda,  düşük seviyede sarımsak takviyeli grubun balıkları, kontrol gruplarındaki balıklarla karşılaştırıldığında melez tilapia yavrularının canlı ağırlık kazancında herhangi bir belirgin etkisi olmadığı görülmüştür. Bununla birlikte, yüksek düzeyde sarımsak eklenmiş grubun ise diğer gruplardan önemli düzeyde daha iyi büyüdüğü saptanmıştır (P> 0,05). Elde edilen büyüme değerleri sırasıyla 7,41 ± 0,64g, 7,44 ± 0,30g,  8,09 ± 0,84g’dır. Ancak, diyette yüksek sarımsak katkılı yemle beslenen balıklar ile diğer gruplar arasında yem değerlendirme oranları açısından önemli düzeyde farklı bulunmuşlardır (P <0.05). Sonuç olarak, sera koşullarında yavru melez tilapiaların kışlatmasında daha iyi yem değerlendirme elde etmek için beslenmede sarımsağın %1'lik besin takviyesi önerilebilir görülmektedir.
