Novos diálogos dos estudos feministas da deficiência
Authors: Gomes Ruthie Bonan , Lopes Paula Helena , Gesser Marivete , Toneli Maria Juracy Filgueiras
Published: January 2019

Resumo: O objetivo deste estudo foi o de caracterizar a produção recente dos estudos feministas da deficiência (Feminist disability studies), com o foco na intersecção entre gênero e deficiência. Para tanto, foi realizada uma revisão da literatura internacional na qual foram incluídos artigos publicados nos últimos cinco anos em revistas disponíveis no portal de periódicos da CAPES. Os artigos analisados ressaltam que os modelos de compreensão da deficiência têm efeitos sociais e políticos nas formas de se pensar em questões como a corporeidade, a sexualidade, o cuidado e a interdependência. Além disso, as produções estudadas apontam que a inclusão da deficiência como categoria de análise a ser considerada nos estudos e práticas sociais tem um potencial analítico e político.
ÁREAS PROTEGIDAS, POPULAÇÕES TRADICIONAIS DA AMAZÔNIA E NOVOS ARRANJOS CONSERVACIONISTAS
Authors: Silva Ana Tereza Reis da
Published: January 2019

O reconhecimento de que é possível conciliar modos de vida de Povos e Comunidades Tradicionais (PCTs) com a conservação da biodiversidade desencadeou a criação de dispositivos legais em favor da permanência desses sujeitos em suas terras. Contudo, as áreas protegidas seguem sendo espaços em disputa, nos quais se projetam os interesses sociais pelo território, como meio de produção material e imaterial da vida, os interesses que visam destinar esses espaços exclusivamente à proteção ambiental e os interesses de mercado, que permeiam muitas das práticas incentivadas em Unidades de Conservação. Neste artigo, apresento os contornos que esses conflitos assumem na Floresta Nacional do Tapajós (Flona Tapajós), onde o “direito de ficar” impôs condicionalidades à população, isto é, restrições de uso e a introdução de novas práticas que têm modificado as relações comunitárias e as dinâmicas socioeconômicas do lugar.
Pavement degradation: a city-scale model for San Francisco, USA
Authors: Zhao Bingyu , Silva Elisabete , Soga Kenichi
Published: January 2019

Data from long-term systematic pavement condition surveys provide opportunities to understand better the pavement degradation process. To provide more accurate predictions on future pavement conditions, spatial conditions are incorporated into degradation models of pavements in this paper. Long-term, city-scale pavement condition data from the San Francisco open data portal in USA are used to test and guide model development. Spatial and non-spatial degradation models are developed and compared with parameter estimations carried out using the Bayesian approach. Specifically, the integrated nested Laplace approximation method is used for the Bayesian regression. It was found that (a) the non-spatial model including only coarse categories of pavement types is too simple to provide a good fit to the data; (b) for models with fine categories (individual street segments), the spatial model is more preferable than the non-spatial model due to its lower deviance information criterion and slightly smaller fitting and testing errors; and (c) only the spatial model can reveal the spatial clustering of streets where high/low degradation rates concentrate.

Uma infinidade de práticas e relações codificam e ressignificam o corpo para diferentes tempos e culturas, tendo a imagem como seu principal meio. As imagens do cinema e toda a sua complexidade, aguçam nosso olhar para um maior aprofundamento. Por isso, neste artigo, olhamos para o corpo com o auxílio das ideias de Aumont e Badiou e tentamos condensar noções para interpretações de imagens em movimento, relacionando cinema, corpo e dança em uma análise no documentário Pina (2011), de Win Wenders.
Epistemología genética y la (in)visibilidad de los enfoques constructivistas en neurociencias
Authors: Oliveira Martins Taís , Eichler Marcelo Leandro
Published: January 2019

This paper discusses the current debate about the field of cognitive neurosciences, its possible relation with the genetic epistemology of Jean Piaget and the reasons why the constructivist approaches in the neurosciences have been little promoted. In order to demonstrate that the neurosciences don’t constitute a singular, unanimous and finalized area as it establishes the common sense, is proposed a theoretical revision of the stages of development of Piaget and the discussion of the psycho-physiological parallelism defended by him. Thus, is presented the neurobiological evidences pointed out by Herman T. Epstein for the occurrence of Phrenoblysis (periods of fast brain growth), interspersed with periods of slow growth and that occurring in correlation with the Piagetian stages. With this, we search to draw possible approximations between the genetic epistemology of Piaget and cognitive neurosciences, demonstrating that human cognitive development is structured in the psychological and biological pillars, and that these are linked to social, cultural, educational and genetic factors as well as to demonstrate that the base of support of the constructivist pole in the neurosciences is quite solid. Also is discussed that the superficial analysis of Piagetian precepts, the adoption of partiality and omission of data, the failure to consider his works as a whole, the attachment to isolated works in certain periods, secondary and tertiary readings of the Piagetian work and the problems of reading and translation of the original texts impede Piaget’s view as epistemologist and justify the little dissemination of the constructivist approach in neuroscientific research.
Refugee Students’ Access to Three European Universities: An Ethnographic Study
Authors: Sontag Katrin
Published: January 2019

The article presents an ethnographic fieldwork carried out at three universities in Switzerland, Germany, and France, and analyses how access to higher education for refugees was addressed in the three cases, how and which institutional change and activities were initiated, and by which actors. The article argues that the topic cannot be addressed in isolation but has to consider four intersecting areas: the personal biography and migratory history of the students, the asylum system, the educational system, and the funding situation. For the refugee students, the challenge is that these areas need to be taken into account simultaneously, but what is more challenging is that they are not well in tune with one another. Solutions need to take this complex—and place-specific—situation into account.
Nem 'complexo de vira-latas', nem 'herói genial': o caso da imprensa de Montes Claros frente às máximas de Nelson Rodrigues nas Copas de 1958 e 1962
Authors: Alves Rogério Othon Teixeira , Silva Luciano Pereira da
Published: January 2019

A Copa do Mundo de 1958 tornou-se um limiar de passagem do complexo de vira-latas para o herói genial de Nelson Rodrigues. Todavia, tal sentimento construído na fronteira imaginária da Copa da Suécia poderia ser notado em qualquer cidade brasileira? Neste artigo, objetiva-se discutir nuanças que pairam sobre o tema Copa do Mundo de Futebol e o próprio futebol, no período que circundou a Copa de 1958, tomando por base a imprensa do Rio de Janeiro e da cidade de Montes Claros, Norte de Minas Gerais. Conclui-se que o futebol tinha peculiaridades inerentes ao aspecto interno, ou seja, o jornal montes-clarense Gazeta de Norte enfocava o futebol municipal, destacando os eventos da cidade em detrimento do futebol externo. Mesmo que o futebol já detivesse significativa importância, não se nota no jornal norte-mineiro crônicas análogas às feitas ao estilo de Nelson Rodrigues, supostamente refletindo o brasileiro através do futebol.

A geopolítica do futebol em transformação: o caso chinês
Authors: Leite Jr. Emanuel , Rodrigues Carlos
Published: January 2019

A China só esteve em uma Copa do Mundo de futebol masculino. Foi em 2002 e sua seleção perdeu os três jogos que disputou. Na 75ª posição no ranking da FIFA (junho 2018), a seleção chinesa não se classificou para a Copa do Mundo 2018. As autoridades chinesas, entretanto, querem mudar essa realidade. Para isso, em 2016 foi lançado o “Plano de desenvolvimento do futebol a médio e longo prazo (2016-2050)”. Dentre os objetivos, está o de sediar uma Copa. A meta final é ainda mais ambiciosa: fazer da China uma potência mundial. Para tal, o governo conta com o apoio da iniciativa privada. E desde o lançamento do ‘Plano’, os investimentos de empresas chinesas no futebol aumentaram significativamente, assim como na Copa da Rússia, em que marcas chinesas representaram 37% dos patrocinadores da competição. Este artigo objetiva analisar de que forma o ‘Plano’, como instrumento de Soft Power chinês, tem contribuído para mudar a geopolítica do futebol.
Impact of mechanisation on soil loss in terraced vineyard landscapes
Authors: Pijl A. , Barneveld P. , Mauri L. , Borsato E. , Grigolato S. , Tarolli P.
Published: January 2019

Soil loss poses a threat to hilly and mountainous areas, particularly where local economies strongly depend on agricultural production. Among agricultural landscapes, vineyards are responsible for the highest erosion rates, particularly in steep-slope landscapes. The impact of vineyard mechanisation on soil loss is only marginally explored in published literature. This study provides an estimation of the annual soil loss rate by application of the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) in 24 terraced vineyards located in north-eastern Italy. Field observations showed that 13 vineyards consisted of fully mechanised fields, 5 vineyards had no form of mechanisation, while in 6 vineyards a mixture of practices was found. Soil erodibility (K factor) was derived for these practices (based on soil characteristics and varying degrees of compaction), while slope length and steepness (LS factors) were calculated from a 1-m LiDAR-based DTM, and remaining factors were based on datasets by the European Soil Data Centre. Mechanised fields showed 29% higher erosion rates than non-mechanised fields (respectively 53.9 and 69.5 t ha-1 y-1), although this is not statistically significant. Still, the direct impact of mechanisation is underestimated in this comparison, due to the predominant steep slopes in the manually cultivated fields. Furthermore, estimated soil loss from mechanised fields in addition to mechanised paths and roads is significantly higher by 37% than non-mechanised fields. This study thus offers an indication of how machinery and related soil compaction and transformation of terraces and infrastructure, increases soil loss risk.

Microsoft paint software was used to obtain the concentration of color on the patient images and matched for the color differences of impression materials. This color concentration is transferred to the Vinyl Siloxane Impression (VPS) material. The colors were added by addition technique to the catalyst paste of VPS impression materials. Disposable syringe is used to inject the material around the implant analogue of the implant impression and soft cast obtained simulates the gingival color and tissue of the patient around the implant. The patient gingival color on the cast is obtained with this customized technique of gingival mask.
A Modified Cryer Elevator During Removal of Roots in Impacted Mandibular Third Molar Surgery
Authors: Vadepally Ashwant Kumar , Sinha Ramen
Published: January 2019

The most important aspect of impacted mandibular third molar surgery or in complicated exodontia is removal of roots. Based on our clinical experience, we modified the cryer elevator and compared with normal cryer elevator during surgical removal of roots in bilateral symmetrical impacted mandibular third molars. Therefore, a randomised single blind clinical trial was designed to analyze the efficacy of modified cryer elevator. Thirty-six patients with bilateral identical impacted lower third molars requiring surgical removal, under local anaesthesia, were included. A standard surgical protocol was followed. Roots were removed using Cryer elevator on one side and modified cryer elevator on the other. The ease of the removal of roots (easy, moderate and difficult) and time interval from the start of buccal guttering until removal of roots out of the socket were noted. The difference in ease of removal of roots (p =0.03) and duration (p<0.001) was statistically significant between the two elevators. We conclude use of modified cryer elevator is effective in surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molars.

Comparative analysis of the ftness of Drosophila virilis lines contrasting in response to stress
Authors: Karpova E. K. , Rauschenbach I. Yu. , Gruntenko N. E.
Published: January 2019

One of the crucial elements contributing to the adaptation of organisms to unfavorable environmental conditions is the reaction of stress. The study of its genetic control and role in adaptation to unfavorable conditions are of special interest. The juvenile hormone (JH) acts as a gonadotropic hormone in adult insects controlling the development of the ovaries, inducing vitellogenesis and oviposition. It was shown that a decrease in JH degradation in individuals reacting to adverse conditions by stress reaction (R­individuals) causes delay in egg laying and seems to allow the population to “wait out” the unfavorable conditions, thereby contributing to the adaptation at the population level. However, monitoring natural populations of D. melanogaster for the capability of stress reaction demonstrated that they have a high percentage of individuals incapable of it (NR­individuals). The study of reproductive characteristics of R­ and NR­individuals showed that under normal conditions R­individuals have the advantage of procreating oﬀspring. Under unfavorable conditions, if the stressor is intense enough, NR­individuals die, but if its intensity is low, then they, unlike R­individuals, continue to produce oﬀspring. Based on these data, it was hypothesized that the balance of R­ and NR­alleles in the population ensures its adaptation under frequent stresses of low intensity. To verify the hypothesis by an experiment, the ftness characteristics (lifespan, fecundity) of the R and NR lines of D. virilis were studied under normal conditions and under regular heat stress of various frequency.

Ésta es la primera traducción al castellano del quinto capítulo de la sátira sánscrita Madre por conveniencia (Samayamātṛkā), escrita por el gran poeta de Cachemira Kṣemendra (s. XI e.c.). Titulado “Breve tipología del deseo” (rāgavibhāgopanyāsa), el capítulo forma parte de las lecciones que, siguiendo la trama de la obra, imparte una experimentada proxeneta a su joven aprendiz en el oficio más antiguo del mundo. En un sentido más profundo, el capítulo constituye una especie de digresión teórica sobre diversos tipos de amantes desde la perspectiva del deseo (rāga) que cada uno de ellos manifiesta. Esta tipología destaca por su estilo y contenidos, así como por carecer de paralelos en el corpus sánscrito. En este contexto, el artículollama la atención sobre la trascendencia del capítulo y señala los temas que ameritan un estudio exhaustivo.
Séneca como personaje literario en una Europa en transformación. Consideraciones metodológicas sobre su recepción
Authors: Teodoro-Peris Josep L.
Published: January 2019

A partir del estudio de la Historia de la vida de Lucio Anneo Séneca español (Madrid, 1625) de Juan Pablo Mártir Rizo y del Essai sur les règnes de Claude et de Néron et sur les moeurs et les écrits de Sénèque pour servir d’introduction à la lecture de ce philosophe (1782) de Denis Diderot, este artículo tiene como objetivo estudiar la relación entre las diferentes interpretaciones de los aspectos cruciales de la vida del personaje y el contexto político y filosófico en el que se conciben ambas obras. El análisis permite comprobar que, si bien Mártir Rizo desarrolla una reflexión sobre la naturaleza del poder en el marco del tacitismo, Diderot se centra en la libertad y la responsabilidad política del filósofo bajo un gobierno autocrático. Este artículo, asimismo, permite conocer ciertos aspectos de la obra de Mártir Rizo, autor poco tratado hasta ahora.
Associations between Personality Traits and the Quality of Sibling Relationships
Authors: Gözü Hamide , Newman Joan
Published: January 2019

Sibling
relationship is one of the longest relationships in human life and play a major
role since some skills such as nurturance,
caretaking, and meeting their own needs and those of other people around them
(e.g. spouse, children, and parents) are fostered through sibling
interaction. Several studies have been conducted among adults to identify the
factors associated with sibling relationships. Despite its seeming importance,
only a few researchers have focused on the role of personality type in sibling
relationships. The current study examined whether Big-Five personality traits
were associated with the quality of sibling relationships among young adults.
Participants included 552 university students living in the United States of
America (54% female and 46% male) aged 18 to 25 years. Participants completed
the Lifespan Sibling Relationship Scale and the Big Five Inventory. A series
regression analyses revealed that all personality traits were significantly
associated with the quality of sibling relationships after controlling
participant’s gender and gender constellation. Of the personality traits, agreeableness
was the strongest predictor of quality of sibling relationships. The current
study’s strengths and limitations and the implications future research are
discussed.
PERIPHRASIS IN A POETIC TEXT ABOUT THE MOON: W. STEVENS “LUNAR PARAPHRASE”
Authors: Du Chunyang
Published: January 2019

Based on the material of the poetic text of the poem by Wallace Stevens “Lunar Paraphrase” we establish that the periphrasis has a nominative character, has the replacing function, replacing the word “moon”, has metaphorical in relation to the replaced word, a descriptive and allegorical character, a unique individual author's metaphoricity. We prove that the peripheral education formation is provided by the cognitive abilities of a person, among which are such as the choice of the object of observation, sensory perception, attention, proper mental operations. There is a process of profiling, as a result of which focuses the attention of a person on a certain conceptual feature, highlighting a specific area and forming a paremic education. The appearance of periphrasis closely linked to a reflection on our perception of reality in language, which is governed by the cognitive and linguistic mechanisms. Periphrasis “mother of pity and pathos”, “mother of pathos and compassion”, “mother of sorrow and compassion”, “mother of pity and sadness” reflect the principle of variability in the interpretation of the MOON by different statements, which, of course, reflect the text subjective perception by the translator. The phenomenon of periphrasis in the Russian language determines the semantic and formal structure of the descriptive structure. It is assumed that we can talk about the coexistence of individual author’s peripherals.
The Trade-Off between the Controller Effort and Control Quality on Example of an Electro-Pneumatic Final Control Element
Authors: Bartyś Michał , Hryniewicki Bartłomiej
Published: January 2019

For many years, the programmable positioners have been widely applied in structures of modern electro-pneumatic final control elements. The positioner consists of an electro-pneumatic transducer, embedded controller and measuring instrumentation. Electro-pneumatic transducers that are used in positioners are characterized by a relatively short mean time-to-failure. The practical and economical method of a reasonable prolongation of this time is proposed in this paper. It is principally based on assessment and minimizing the effort of the embedded controller. For this purpose, were introduced: the control value variability, mean-time and the cumulative controller's effort. The diminishing of controller effort has significant practical repercussions, because it reduces the intensity of mechanical wear of the final control element components. On the other hand, the reduction of the cumulative effort is important in the context of process economy due to limitation of the consumption of energy of compressed air supplying the final control element. Therefore, the minimization of introduced effort factors has an impact on increasing the functional safety and economics of the controlled process. As a result of the performed simulations, the recommendations regarding the selection of the structure and tuning of positioner controller were elaborated. The simulations were performed in the Matlab-Simulink environment with the use of the liquid level control system in which a phenomenological model of a final control element was deployed. It has been proven that under appropriate conditions, it is possible to extend significantly the lifetime of the final control element and simultaneously enhance the control quality factors.
Suppression of IgE-Independent Degranulation of Murine Connective Tissue-Type Mast Cells by Dexamethasone

Published: January 2019

Steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are widely used for treatment of chronic cutaneous inflammation, such as atopic dermatitis, although it remains unknown how they modulate cutaneous mast cell functions. Murine connective tissue-type mast cells, which were sensitive to mast cell secretagogues, such as compound 48/80 and substance P, were generated by co-culture of bone marrow-derived mast cells with Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts in the presence of stem cell factor. This process was accompanied by up-regulation of a subunit of a trimeric G protein, Gi1, and several Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor (Mrgpr) subtypes. Secretagogue-induced degranulation and up-regulation of these genes were suppressed when they were cultured in the presence of a synthetic glucocorticoid, dexamethasone. The profiles of granule constituents were drastically altered by dexamethasone. Several Mrgpr subtypes were found to be expressed in the cutaneous tissues and their expression levels were decreased in response to topical application of dexamethasone. The numbers of degranulated cutaneous mast cells in response to compound 48/80 were decreased in mice treated with dexamethasone. These results suggest that mast cell-mediated IgE-independent cutaneous inflammation could be suppressed by steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs through down-regulation of Gai1 and several Mrgpr subtypes in mast cells.
Application of Game Theory to Conflict Management in a Construction Contract
Authors: Grzyl Beata , Apollo Magdalena , Kristowski Adam
Published: January 2019

The subject of this article is the application of game theory (GT) to solve the problem occurring in the management of construction contracts. One of the fundamental reasons for disputes between the investor (IN) and the general contractor (GC) is payment for supplementary works—an additional expenditure incurred by GC that was not planned at the tender stage. If IN delays signing the annex to the contract and rejects any financial and timeframe-related claims, GC usually considers one of the two strategies: to stop works or to continue works without the annex and the guarantee of payment for additional works. IN also analyzes the consequences of adopting one of the two strategies: not to sign the annex, or to sign the annex and pay for the additional work. The aim of the presented game is to indicate the optimal strategy from the GC point of view in the conflict situation with IN. The article defines the background of the problem, the cause of the dispute, and formulates a theoretical model of the game.

Published: January 2019

The aim of this article has been to evaluate the impact of a physical-sport education programme, based on the pedagogical model of Sport Education within the framework of quality Physical Education and approached from the field of social and emotional learning, on a set of psychological variables: subjective well-being (quality of life related to health, positive affect and negative affect); trait emotional intelligence and social anxiety. A total number of 113 Compulsory Secondary Education students were involved, aged 12 to 15 years old, 44 of whom belonged to the control group (CG) and 69 to the experimental group (EG). A quasiexperimental design of repeated pretest and posttest measures with the CG was used. The results obtained in this investigation revealed that the intervention programme caused significant improvements in the subjective well-being and the trait emotional intelligence for the EG. These findings reinforce the pedagogical efficiency of the programme with regards to the aim that has been set. Likewise, the findings also highlight the suitability and appropriateness in terms of innovative teaching proposals. In the same way, the results showed relevant empirical contributions in this given school context due to its psychological benefits and the encouragement of healthy living.
Generating Scenarios of Cross-Correlated Demands for Modelling Water Distribution Networks
Authors: Magini Roberto , Boniforti Maria Antonietta , Guercio Roberto
Published: January 2019

This paper presents a methodology for the generation of a limited and representative number of water demand scenarios, taking into account the natural variability and spatial correlation of nodal consumption in a Water Distribution Network (WDN), and estimates their corresponding occurrence probabilities. Scaling laws are used to evaluate the statistics of water consumption at each node as a function of the number of users, considering the main statistical features of the unitary user' demand. Besides, consumption at each node is considered to follow a Gamma probability distribution. A high number of groups of cross-correlated demands, i.e. scenarios, for the entire network were generated using Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) and the numerical procedure proposed by Iman and Conover. The Kantorovich distance is used to reduce the number of scenarios and estimate their corresponding probabilities, while keeping the statistical information on nodal consumptions. By hydraulic simulation, the whole number of generated demand scenarios was used to obtain a corresponding number of pressure scenarios on which the same reduction procedure was applied. The probabilities of the reduced scenarios of pressure were compared with the corresponding probabilities of the demand.
Custom Design of Packaging through Advanced Technologies: Case of Study Applied to Apples
Authors: Rodríguez-Parada Lucía , Mayuet Pedro F. , Gámez Antonio J.
Published: January 2019

In the context of food packaging design, customization enhances the value of a product by meeting the needs of the consumer. Personalization is also linked to adaptation. This makes it possible to improve the properties of the packaging from various points of view: functional, aesthetic, economic and ecological. Currently the functional and formal properties of packaging are not investigated among themselves, however the study of both properties are the basis for creating a new concept of personalized and sustainable product. In accordance with this approach, the conceptual design procedure of packaging with personalized and adapted geometries based on the digitization of fresh food is proposed in this work. This study is based on the application of advanced technologies for the design and development of food packaging, in this case apples, in order to improve the quality of the packaging. The results obtained show that it is possible to use advanced technologies in the early stages of product design in order to obtain competitive products adapted to new emerging needs.
Evaluation of Reliefs’ Properties on Design of Thermoformed Packaging Using FDM Moulds
Authors: Rodríguez-Parada Lucía , Mayuet Pedro F. , Gámez Antonio J.
Published: January 2019

The increased consumption of food requiring thermoformed packaging means that the packaging industry demands customized solutions in terms of shapes and sizes to make the packaging unique. In particular, the food industry increasingly requires more transparent packaging, with greater clarity and a better presentation of the product features they contain. However, in turn, the differentiation of products is sought through the geometry and final finish of the product, as well as the arrangement of food inside the packaging. In addition, these types of packaging usually include ribs in the walls to improve physical properties, however they also affect the final aesthetics of the product. In accordance with this, this research study analyses by studying the mechanical properties of different relief geometries that can affect not only the aesthetics but also their strength. For this purpose, tensile and compression tests have been carried out. The results provide comparative data on the reliefs studied and show that there are different shapes, sizes and layout.
The Use of Non-destructive Methods to Detect Non-metallic Reinforcement in Concrete and Masonry
Authors: Drobiec Łukasz , Jasiński Radosław , Mazur Wojciech
Published: January 2019

An increasing use of non-metallic reinforcement is problematic as it has to be detected at the stage of accepting construction works, or later when expert opinions are prepared for the building. In contrast to metallic reinforcement, location of this type of reinforcement is difficult using non-destructive techniques. Small diameters of rebars and their location in a tested element were troublesome. This article describes an attempt to locate non-metallic reinforcement in a concrete element and the masonry. Tests were performed using an ultrasonic tomograph and GPR with a broad range of frequencies.

We determine the nikfar domination number  v for several classes of fuzzy graphs. The bounds is obtained for it. We prove both of the Vizing's conjecture and the Grarier-Khelladi's conjecture are monotone decreasing fuzzy graph property for nikfar domination. We obtain Nordhaus-Gaddum (NG) type results for these parameters. Finally, we discuss about nikfar dominating set of a fuzzy tree by using the bridges and -strong edges equivalence.
Chemostratigraphy of the Upper Jurassic (Oxfordian) Smackover Formation for Little Cedar Creek and Brooklyn Fields, Alabama
Authors: Engle Rian , Yarbrough Lance D. , Easson Greg
Published: January 2019

The Upper Jurassic (Oxfordian Age) Smackover Formation is a significant source for hydrocarbon production in southwest Alabama. Brooklyn Field is in southeast Conecuh County, Alabama and has been a major producer of oil and natural gas for the state. The Smackover is a carbonate formation that is divided into seven distinct lithofacies. In southwest Alabama, the Smackover Formation is heavily influenced by paleotopography from the underlying Paleozoic rocks of the Appalachian system. The goal of this study is to determine elemental ratios in rock core within the Smackover Formation using a X-ray fluorescence (XRF) handheld scanner, to correlate between lithofacies in the Smackover Formation and elementally characterize the upper oolitic grainstone reservoir and the lower thrombolite boundstone. Eight wells were used for the study within Brooklyn Field and Little Cedar Creek fields. Cores from the eight wells were scanned on six-inch intervals. Chemical logs were produced to show elemental weights in relation to depth and lithofacies. Well data collected for chemical signatures within producing zones were correlated to reservoir lithofacies and porosity. Aluminum, silicon, calcium, titanium, and iron were the most significant (>95% confidence level) predictors of porosity and is related to the depositional environment and subsequent diageneses of the strata. XRF data suggests relative enrichments in iron, titanium, and potassium may be related to deposition in relatively restricted marine waters.
The Violation Imperative Part 1: Allegations and Fraud
Authors: Carroll La Shun L.
Published: January 2019

In recent decades, a number of high-profile cases involving fraud as research misconduct have been in the media and resulted in severe consequences for those convicted. According to the increased cases of allegations and coverage in the media, this reflects a heightened awareness that fraudulent actions exist.  Nonetheless, the Office of Research Integrity data suggests that despite the growth in the number of the cases of allegation there has not been a commensurate increase in findings of misconduct. The purpose of this paper is to explore misconduct to better understand what it entails. An analysis of misconduct from the perspective of the definitions of allegations and fraud of is conducted and potential frameworks for understanding both are considered. The paper considers serial-positioning effects of primacy and recency on allegation phenomena, as well as supervenience theory and contextualism as a lens for understanding fraud. Discussion of the relational semantics of the core aspects of fraud and de facto grouping of forms of misconduct.  It is concluded that the interrogative pronouns of “what” and “when” could be used to categorize forms of misconduct laying the foundation for the next paper that deconstructs the definition of falsification according to the Public Health Service.
Taxonomic status of Flexopecten glaber ponticus (Bucquoy, Dautzenberg & Dollfus, 1889) – the Black Sea Flexopecten glaber (Linnaeus, 1758) (Bivalvia: Pectinidae)
Authors: Bondarev I. P.
Published: January 2019

The name Flexopecten glaber ponticus (Bucquoy, Dautzenberg & Dollfus, 1889) is generally used for the only Pectinidae representative inhabiting the Black Sea. It is registered in the Red Book of the Republic of Crimea as endemic subspecies reducing in amount. F. glaber ponticus is listed in WoRMS MolluscaBase as the only accepted subspecies of Flexopecten glaber (Linnaeus, 1758). In the past its taxonomic status has been changed from a geographic variety to valid species. The purpose of this study is to establish its correct taxonomic status. The study is based on a comparative analysis of conchological features of Flexopecten glaber and F. glaber ponticus in relation with the brief natural history of population in the Black Sea. Sampling was performed by snorkel equipment in Kazach’ya Bay (Black Sea, Crimea, Sevastopol) at 2–6 m depths. A total of 100 scallop specimens were sampled in September 2017. To assure a better understanding in a broader context those results are compared with the previously published morphological data based on the analysis of a large amount of material from the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea – Marmara Sea regions. Comparative analysis of conchological features of F. glaber ponticus from the Black Sea with F. glaber from the Mediterranean region has not revealed any distinct differences between them. Thus, there are no evidenced data for the diagnosis of F. glaber ponticus as a subspecies. Species F. glaber appeared in the Black Sea not earlier than 7,000 years ago and formed a well developed population less than 3,000 years ago. We have to conclude that the specified divergence period is not long enough to form a subspecies. As a result of the present survey the subspecific status of F. glaber ponticus is not retained and the name is placed in synonymy of the parent species Flexopecten glaber.

Впервые изучены нуклеотидные последовательности ITS1 кластера генов рРНК марит черноморских трематод Cainocreadium flesi Korniychuk & Gaevskaya, 2000 от камбалы глоссы Platichthys flesus (депонированы в GenBank с номерами MG980645, MG980646), Cainocreadium sp. от морского налима Gaidropsarus mediterraneus (MG980643, MG980644, MK248037, MK248038) и Helicometra fasciata (Rud., 1819) от собачки-павлина Salaria pavo (MG980647, MG980648). ITS1-последовательности черноморских трематод C. flesi и Cainocreadium sp. оказались идентичными, однако, ввиду морфологических отличий между этими гостальными морфами, видовой статус трематод от морского налима пока не определён. По четырём позициям ITS1-последовательности черноморских Cainocreadium отличались от аналогичных последовательностей, описанных у церкарий близкородственного средиземноморского вида, C. labracis. Пять инсерций-делеций и 38 нуклеотидных замен отличают ITS1-последовательности черноморских Cainocreadium от аналогичных последовательностей представителей ещё одного средиземноморского вида этого рода, C. dentecis. ITS1-последовательности черноморских и средиземноморских образцов H. fasciata также различаются: выявлено пять нуклеотидных замен и 11 инсерций-делеций.

Роль мидий в формировании химического состава морской воды определяется особенностями протекания в них сорбционных и трофодинамических процессов. Медь является жизненно необходимым элементом и в то же время занимает второе место по токсичности после ртути среди десяти металлов, токсическое действие которых проверено на эмбрионах мидий и устриц. Выявление закономерностей накопления содержания меди в органах и тканях моллюсков позволяет проанализировать как санитарно-гигиенические риски их продуктового использования при выращивании в марикультуре, так и их роль в биогеохимических процессах изменения состава морской среды в акваториях размещения мидийных плантаций. Цель работы ― определить содержание ионов меди в органах и тканях мидий в масштабе сезонного хода онтогенеза, проанализировать с использованием математической модели и эмпирических данных степень их накопления моллюсками при пищевом пути минерального питания и оценить влияние марихозяйств на процессы переноса меди в прибрежной экосистеме. Моллюски отобраны с коллекторов мидийной фермы, расположенной на внешнем рейде г. Севастополя. Для определения содержания меди в системе среда ― мидии ― биоотложения использован метод атомно-абсорбционной спектроскопии с электротермической атомизацией. Представлена общая модель процесса обмена меди между мидиями и морской средой. Предложены уравнения для определения степени усвоения из пищи ионов меди (q) и предельного коэффициента их накопления (Кп) по результатам измерений концентрации в рационе мидий, в мягких тканях и в биоотложениях без применения радиоактивных меток микроэлементов. Рассчитаны величины изъятия меди из морской среды мидийной фермой. Показана роль культивируемых моллюсков в осаждении тяжёлых металлов.

Бурые водоросли в симбиозе с эпифитными бактериями играют важную роль в биоремедиации морской среды после попадания в неё нефтепродуктов, поэтому их изучение в различных по уровню загрязнения местообитаниях представляется актуальным. Целью работы являлось определение методами сканирующей и трансмиссионной электронной микроскопии присутствия и локализации эпифитных бактерий бурых водорослей Fucus vesiculosus Linnaeus, 1753 из условно чистой (губа Зеленецкая, Восточный Мурман) и загрязнённой нефтепродуктами (Кольский залив, Мурманский морской порт) прибрежных акваторий Баренцева моря. Для учёта численности культивируемых гетеротрофных бактерий использован культуральный метод с применением жидких питательных сред. Выявлено, что бόльшая часть бактерий в эпифитном сообществе концентрируется в естественных углублениях поверхности таллома. В загрязнённой акватории бактерии локализуются также в слизистом слое на поверхности водорослей, на плёнке нефтепродуктов или под плёнкой, покрывающей талломы. Помимо гетеротрофных бактерий, в перифитоне растений обнаружены в большом количестве цианобактерии. Показано, что количество культивируемых эпифитных гетеротрофных бактерий на поверхности водорослей в загрязнённой акватории превышало 17 млн кл.·см-2, а в чистой акватории оно достигало 14,5 тыс. кл.·см-2. Количество культивируемых эпифитных углеводородокисляющих бактерий в водных массах загрязнённой нефтепродуктами акватории составляло до 17,4 тыс. кл.·см-2. В условно чистой акватории бактерии данной группы не обнаружены.
Water turbulence effect on egg survival and characteristics of hatched larvae of the Black Sea turbot Scophthalmus maeoticus (Pallas, 1814)
Authors: Baiandina Iu. S. , Khanaychenko A. N.
Published: January 2019

The impact of different level of turbulence on developing eggs and prelarvae of the Black Sea turbot Scophthalmus maeoticus obtained from the pair of wild spawners at the end of natural spawning season has been studied. The incubation was carried out at three different levels of turbulence generated by diffused aeration: without aeration (calm water), low aeration (34 ml per minute) and high aeration (75 ml per minute). In calm water hatching rate (HR) of turbot eggs was 20 % and the hatched prelarvae had the longest standard length (SL = 3.13 mm) and the biggest volume of the yolk sac (VYS = 0.37 mm³) as compared to those of low aeration (HR = 18 %; SL = 3.10 mm; VYS = 0.32 mm³) and high aeration conditions (HR = 14 %; SL = 3.10 mm; VYS = 0.29 mm³). One day after hatching the percentage of survived prelarvae from the number of hatched was the highest – 86 % at high aeration, compared with that of low aeration (72 %) and calm water (61 %). Application of turbulence leads to elimination of “poor” quality eggs during incubation, presumably enables hatching of more viable larvae and can reduce mortality of more advanced larvae.
Suspending the Habit Body through Immersive Resonance:Hesitation and Constitutive Duet in Jen Reimer and Max Stein’s Site-Specific Improvisation
Authors: Elliott Rachel
Published: January 2019

There is increasing appreciation for the role that location plays in the experience of a musical event. This paper seeks to understand this role in terms of our habitual relationships to place, asking whether and how being musical somewhere can expand and transform our habituated comportment there, and with what consequences. This inquiry is anchored in a series of site-specific improvised performances by Jen Reimer and Max Stein, and the theory and practice of the late experimental music pioneer Pauline Oliveros. The argument made interpreting these performances is grounded in Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology of embodiment, and Alia Al-Saji’s reception of it. This paper claims that such site-specific improvised performances can elicit a sort of hesitation in our everyday style of sensory-motor conditioning, and, concomitantly, awaken a layer of sensory living amenable to radically new sonic and behavioural configurations.
