El plan de parto como documento de instrucciones previas.
Authors: Busquets Gallego Marta
Published: February 2020

Introduction In the last decades birth plans have been gaining relevance as instruments of manifestation of the will of women. They have been linked to satisfactory obstetric results but have been also referred to as a source of conflict between professionals and users, as well as a frustration source for the latter in case they cannot be accomplished. Objectives This article aims to clarify the legal status of birth plans in Spain. Methodology An experiment is carried out: an extensive birth plan is written, then notarized and finally registered in the Catalan Register of Advance Directives. Results and Conclusions According to the experiment, birth plans are an advance directive, which has legal consequences regarding their enforceability and application.

Transformaciones territoriales de las migraciones internas de los latinoamericanos en España en tiempos de crisis económica.
Authors: Quintero Lesmes Doris Cristina
Published: February 2020

This paper analyzes the evolution of internal migration of Latin Americans in Spain between 1998 and 2011 from the Residential Variation Statistics and the Continuous Population Register. In it we highlight the changes occurred during the years of economic crisis. In particular, we are interested in changes in migration intensity, the effects on the distances, geographical patterns and internal net migration rates. In the first part of the article we show the results from a statistical-descriptive analysis of the intra-provincial and inter-provincial flows. The second part explores first on different aspects of migration distance and secondly, discusses the effects of internal migration on the territory, through the analysis of internal net migration and its impact on the concentration and dispersion of Latin Americans.
Territorio y crisis: impacto territorial de la crisis económica en las regiones metropolitanas de Madrid y Barcelona.
Authors: Rubiales Pérez Miguel
Published: February 2020

The economic crisis has had a major impact on the country, but has been little studied in its socio-territorial dimension. To analyze it in the metropolitan areas of Barcelona and Madrid, we 1) present a time series of the unemployment rates, the evolution of which will be 2) analyzed against the main sociodemographic features of the studied population: age, gender and nationality. 3) These results are further broken down by sector of activity and professional category to account for the occupational characteristics of said population. 4) Next, the obtained time series of unemployment rates are analyzed from a geographical perspective, through the comparison of territorial aggregates such as the cluster of municipalities by size, 2 by comarcas (NUTS4), and by socioeconomic level. Finally, 5) the evolution of said unemployment rates for each period and metropolitan region is studied through multivariate analysis. The obtained results allow for the presentation of a synthesis of the processes that underlie the changes in unemployment rates and their territorial articulation. This analysis shows that the crisis has two distinct phases, with an earlier and more intense incidence in the regional peripheries, in areas most linked to the construction
Fiber-based phase-sensitive optical amplifiers and their applications
Authors: Andrekson Peter A. , Karlsson Magnus
Published: February 2020

Optical parametric amplifiers rely on second-order susceptibility (three-wave mixing) or third-order susceptibility (four-wave mixing) in a nonlinear process where the energy of incoming photons is not changed (elastic scattering). In the latter case, two pump photons are converted to a signal and to an idler photon. Under certain conditions, related to the phase evolution of the waves involved, this conversion can be very efficient, resulting in large amplification of an input signal. As the nonlinear process can be very fast, all-optical applications aside from pure amplification are also possible. If the amplifier is implemented in an optical input-phase-sensitive manner, it is possible to amplify a signal wave without excess noise, i.e., with a noise figure of 0 dB. In this paper, we will provide the fundamental concepts and theory of such amplifiers, with a focus on their implementation in highly nonlinear optical fibers relying on four-wave mixing. We will discuss the distinctions between phase-insensitive and phase-sensitive operation and include several experimental results to illustrate their capability. Different applications of parametric amplifiers are also discussed, including their use in optical communication links.
Relative-cavity-length-controlled slow light in a cascaded magnon-photon system
Authors: Liu Chao-Zhu , Deng Yun-Long , Yin Miao
Published: February 2020

We theoretically discuss the input–output characteristics of the cascaded magnon-photon system by focusing on the slow light effect caused by positive group delay. When two identical magnon-photon systems are cascaded, compared with the single cavity system, the bandwidth of the whole system is wider, but the group delay is smaller. The change of the group delay is different from that of the general linear system. Moreover, by changing the cavity length of the two microwave cavities, the system is slightly mismatched and the group delay could obviously increase. The slow light effect could be controlled by relative cavity length. The slow light effect of the mismatched double cavity system is more sensitive to external magnetic field than that of the single cavity system. The results provide a way to manipulate the transmission rate in optical information networks and a new view about the interconnection of microwave cavities.
Advanced photo-induced substrate-integrated waveguides using pillar-array structures for tunable and reconfigurable THz circuits
Authors: Deng Yijing , Ren Jun , Shi Yu , Wang Yi-Chieh , Cheng Li-Jing , Fay Patrick , Liu Lei
Published: February 2020

Substrate-integrated waveguides (SIWs) have recently attracted increasing attention for the development of terahertz (THz) circuits and systems. However, conventional SIWs employ fixed metallic vias to form the waveguide sidewalls, resulting in limited tunability and reconfigurability. In this paper, we report a novel approach for the realization of high-performance tunable and/or reconfigurable THz SIW structures. In this approach, photo-induced free carriers are generated in a high-resistivity silicon pillar-array structure to form well-defined, highly conductive, vertical sidewalls. The wave propagation properties of these optically-defined photo-induced SIWs (PI-SIWs) have been evaluated using full-wave electromagnetic simulations. Higher-functionality THz components, including a single-pole double-throw switch and a phase shifter were also designed and simulated. Based on these example circuits, PI-SIWs using pillar-array structures appear to be attractive candidates for the development of tunable and reconfigurable THz components for THz sensing, imaging, and communication systems.
Channelized photonic-assisted deramp receiver with an extended detection distance along the range direction for LFM-CW radars
Authors: Yang Jiyao , Li Ruoming , Mo Zhenwei , Dong Jingwen , Li Wangzhe
Published: February 2020

A novel photonic-assisted deramp receiver extends detection distance along range direction of linearly-frequency-modulated continuous wave (LFM-CW) radars is proposed. A dual-polarization quadrature phase shift keying (DP-QPSK) modulator is used to modulate an optical frequency-comb (OFC) to generate orthogonally polarized optical signals. Then the orthogonally polarized optical signals are coherently detected with an optical local oscillator (OLO), which is generated by modulating the other OFC with the RF-reference signal on a null-biased Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM). At the output of each detection unit, beating results can be recovered using a digital signal processing algorithm. By stitching the beating results of several paralleled detection units, the deramp signal corresponded to an extended range distance can be recovered. The proposed technique is experimentally evaluated through both simulated echoes and real echoes of two static trihedral corner reflectors (TCRs) distributed along range direction.

Multioctave and reconfigurable frequency-stepped radar waveform generation based on an optical frequency shifting loop
Authors: Zhang Yamei , Liu Ce , Shao Kunlin , Li Zhaoyu , Pan Shilong
Published: February 2020

A photonic method for multioctave and reconfigurable frequency-stepped radar waveform generation is proposed and experimentally demonstrated based on an optical frequency shifting loop (OFSL). When a rectangular optical pulse is applied to the OFSL, a frequency-stepped optical signal can be generated. Beating the signal with another continuous-wave optical carrier, an electrical frequency-stepped waveform can be obtained. By meticulously adjusting the relations between the time duration of the rectangular optical pulse and the loop delay of the OFSL, the frequency-hopping rate (or the frequency-hopping period) of the generated frequency-stepped signal can be reconfigured. An experiment is carried out. The generation of frequency-stepped signals with frequency intervals of 1 GHz, 3 GHz, 5 GHz, 8 GHz, and 10 GHz is realized. The reconfigurability of the frequency-hopping period is also investigated and different frequency-hopping periods of 189, 10.2, 5.1, and 2.42 ns are achieved.

High-dimensional entanglement has demonstrated its potential for increasing channel capacity and resistance to noise in quantum information processing. However, distributing it is a challenging task, imposing severe restrictions on its application. Here we report the first distribution of three-dimensional orbital angular momentum (OAM) entanglement via a 1-km-long few-mode optical fiber. Using an actively stabilizing phase precompensation technique, we successfully transport one photon of a three-dimensional OAM entangled photon pair through the fiber. The distributed OAM entangled state still shows a fidelity up to 71% with respect to the three-dimensional maximally entangled state (MES). In addition, we certify that the high-dimensional quantum entanglement survives the transportation by violating a generalized Bell inequality, obtaining a violation of

As the experiment neutrinoless double beta decay which can prove the Majarana quantum characteristic of neutrino goes into a technical problem of detection (the energy of neutrino is too small to distinguish from background radiation), ideas of newly designed experiment using neutrinos from single beta decay may solve the problem. This paper based on neutrinos released by beta radiation and photoelectric effect introduce a new experiment that could prove the Majarana quantum characteristic of neutrino.

PERCORRENDO OS CAMINHOS DIANTE DA PESQUISA BIBLIOGRÁFICA: OS MOVIMENTOS DE FORMAÇÃO EM GÊNERO E SEXUALIDADES NOS CURSOS DE LICENCIATURA EM PEDAGOGIA ENTRE OS ANOS DE 2006 E 2018
Authors: Silva Apolônia Ferreira
Published: February 2020

O artigo é parte de um texto de qualificação que resultará em uma tese de doutorado realizada pelo Programa de Pós- graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora. Apresenta como objetivo problematizar a discussão que circunscreve os movimentos de formação no curso de Licenciatura em Pedagogia no que diz respeito ao gênero e às sexualidades e como essas se encaminham em meio aos trabalhos acadêmicos produzidos entre os anos de 2006 e 2018. Foi possível perceber como a política envolvendo o gênero e as sexualidades vêm apresentando novas cores e contornos nos últimos anos. Até meados de 2010, a discussão já se consolidava como importante e as instituições buscavam a implementação de disciplinas, uma vez que a procura por docentes que discutiam a temática ainda era escassa. Porém, o que presenciamos hoje está marcado pela necessidade da volta a lógica do convencimento.
A AMIZADE COMO POSSIBILIDADE DE EXPERIMENTAÇÃO DA SEXUALIDADE EM “AQUELES DOIS” DE CAIO FERNANDO ABREU
Authors: Santos Costa Dhermersson Warly , De Brito Maria dos  Remédios
Published: February 2020

O ensaio pondera uma leitura fundamental do conto “Aqueles dois” de Caio Fernando Abreu, originalmente publicado na obra “Morangos Mofados” (2015). Argumenta-se que os personagens Raul e Saul agenciam em seus corpos uma amizade como possibilidade de exercício e experimentação das suas sexualidades em tempos de autoritarismo extremo. Trata-se de uma leitura interpretativa, influenciada pela filosofia francesa contemporânea de Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari. Sem pretensões formativas ou metodológicas, o que se pretende é experimentar com a literatura de Caio Fernando Abreu blocos de sensações que mobilizem outras formas de pensamento no corpo, na sexualidade, na vida.

“A MULHER MAIS LINDA DO MUNDO POR ACASO ERA UM HOMEM.”: EDUCANDO SOBRE OUTRAS MASCULINIDADES ATRAVÉS DOS ARTEFATOS CULTURAIS
Authors: Lopes da Silva José Rodolfo
Published: February 2020

O presente artigo tem como objetivo problematizar aquilo que aprendemos a ver como o “homem de verdade” e a potência pedagógica, social, estética e política dos artefatos culturais como, por exemplo, filmes, séries, novelas, documentários, etc. Para tal serão analisadas diferentes passagens do documentário I am Divine, que conta a história de Harris Glenn Milstead – intérprete da drag queen Divine, famosa por suas músicas e filmes do cinema underground estadunidense. Através das entrevistas, fotos, registros audiovisuais pessoais e jornalísticos da produção podemos refletir sobre questões como, por exemplo, gênero, sexualidade, sucesso, entre outras. Dessa forma, a obra cinematográfica nos permite descolar de concepções essencialistas e binárias sobre o “ser homem”, entender que há outras opções para além daquilo que está posto como “sucesso” e que artefatos culturais podem fomentar debates, ensinar e fazer repensar sobre modos de ser e estar nas relações sociais.
Le rôle des corvées dans le système des redevances acquittées par les habitants des villages de ius Valachicum en Petite-Pologne et en Ruthénie de la Couronne aux XVe et XVIe siècles

The Role of Serfdoms in the Obligation System of the Inhabitants of Villages on the Wallachian Law in Lesser Poland (Małopolska) and Crown Ruthenia (15th-16th century).

The aim of the article is an attempt to define a role of serfdoms in the system of obligations provided by the population living in the settlements established on the Wallachian law. On the basis of a critical analysis of a relatively numerous sources preserved from the region in question (in particular, the documents associated with the rights given to individual villages, inventories, and royal domain), an attempt was made to verify the common belief in the scholarship on this topic about the lack of, or at least the minimum, share of the serfdoms for the owners in the obligation system of the inhabitants. As a result, a specific feature of the Wallachian law was indicated, which was the obligation – elsewhere unknown or occurring only in minute traces – of performing small errands a few times in a year for the benefit of the dukes (kniaź). It was recorded throughout the entire studied period and in all of the areas partaking in the Wallachian colonisation. In contrast, there are many more doubts regarding the conviction about a complete lack of serfdoms for the owners of villages. The presented source material indicates that there were indeed settlements to which this duty did not apply (and perhaps this situation was even dominating), but in other places the older and usually less strenuous forms of labours were present (annual works, duties “under the order”, ect.), while the attempts to impose weekly serfdoms date back to the 1530s and 1540s. Its widespread implementation in the areas outside of mountains is strictly linked to the development of a grange, set up for the production of grain. For the Wallachian settlements this meant a limitation, and then a thorough disposal of their privileged legal status. It is not a matter of coincidence that this colonising tendency was clearly restrained at the turn of the 16th and 17th century. This fate was avoided only be the villages situated in a typically mountainous area where the natural conditions prevented the production of crops on a large scale. Populations living therein – that were ruled by the Wallachian law – lasted longer and the processes of assimilation and integration with the local surroundings took place more slowly.
Elity bułgarskie po podboju bizantyńskim. 1018-1041 r.
Authors: Dudek Jarosław
Published: February 2020

Cesarz Bazyli II podbijając Bułgarię w 1018 r. podzielił ją na prowincje zarządzane przez bizantyńskich namiestników. Kościół bułgarski pozostał pod zwierzchnictwem miejscowych kapłanów. Członkowie panującego rodu Komitopulów otrzymali pałacowe tytuły i apanaże, zaś pozostali bułgarscy nobilowie utrzymali swoje posiadłości służąc równocześnie w armii cesarskiej. Podjęta po dwóch dekadach przez ministra Jana Orfanotrofa próba redukcji ich znaczenia w lokalnych strukturach wojskowych i obciążenie podatkowe majętności doprowadziło do powstania Piotra Deliana w 1040-1041. Rezygnacja władz bizantyńskich z decyzji szkodzących prestiżowi bułgarskiej arystokracji przyczyniło się do uśmierzenia powstania.
Stolen wealth, perpetrators and punishments in Moldova (17th century – early 18th century)
Authors: Chelcu Cătălina
Published: February 2020

For the historical period we refer to, no proper inventories have been made containing the unjustly appropriated goods. They are just mentioned as such or listed, if that was the case, according to the size of the damage. There are also documentary sources in which the object of the theft is less represented, the justice system focusing in those cases rather on the wrongdoers, than on the wrong actions. That is why, the blood money “paid for some reason”, with no other specific details, is quite frequently cited. Rare or frequent, these documents are complaints addressed by the victim to the Prince and his officials, documents in which the perpetrators admitted their fault, or deeds issued by the judicial authority subsequent to the investigation of the criminal act. In discussing the theft of/from the wealth, i.e. from the whole amount of the available goods, we are interested in clarifying some aspects pertaining to a reality that the historian should reconstruct, with all the complexity of its evolution: the motivations of the theft and its circumstances, the types of theft, the social categories involved, the time and space of the misdemeanour, the perpetrators’ punishment. Briefly, the study is about starting to write a history of the reprehensible acts liable to punishments for theft and robbery in 17th and early 18th century Moldavia.
On the analysis of a geometrically selective turbulence model
Authors: Chorfi Nejmeddine , Abdelwahed Mohamed , Berselli Luigi C.
Published: February 2020

In this paper we propose some new non-uniformly-elliptic/damping regularizations of the Navier-Stokes equations, with particular emphasis on the behavior of the vorticity. We consider regularized systems which are inspired by the Baldwin-Lomax and by the selective Smagorinsky model based on vorticity angles, and which can be interpreted as Large Scale methods for turbulent flows. We consider damping terms which are active at the level of the vorticity. We prove the main a priori estimates and compactness results which are needed to show existence of weak and/or strong solutions, both in velocity/pressure and velocity/vorticity formulation for various systems. We start with variants of the known ones, going later on to analyze the new proposed models.
Design and evaluation of a new intersection model to minimize congestions using VISSIM software
Authors: Fabianova Jana , Michalik Peter , Janekova Jaroslava , Fabian Michal
Published: February 2020

Traffic modelling and simulation is one of the frequent tools used in road infrastructure design. Software tools designed for traffic simulations are an important supportive tool in decision-making and in choosing the optimal solution. The aim of this paper is to introduce the application of the VISSIM program, in the design and testing a model of the traffic-light-controlled intersection. The traffic on the selected congested intersection is modelled and simulated first for the current state, then for two models with modifications that are to increase the throughput of the intersection. The monitored criterion of the intersection throughput is the length of queues. Both adjustments have led to a significant reduction of the number of vehicles waiting in direction of the greatest congestions. In the first model, the average line length was reduced by 75%, and in the second model, the modifications lead to a fluent passage of right-turn vehicles and a significant reduction in vehicle lines for other directions.
Mapping Evaluation, Appraisal and Stance in Discourse (2000–2015): A Bibliometric Analysis

Published: February 2020

The present study employs a bibliometric analysis to examine the research trends in the field ofevaluation,appraisalandstance. The bibliometric information of publications between 2000 and 2015 was retrieved from the Web of Science SSCI Core Collection database. The indicators analyzed include the number of publications by year, most frequently explored topics, most cited works, major individual contributors, publication venues, distribution among countries/regions and institutions. Our findings showed that the annual publications increased dramatically, revealing an upward trend in this research field. The results concerning the most frequently addressed topics suggested that EAP has been a fruitful domain in terms of the evaluative dimension of discourse. Besides, future research will feature more discipline-specific and language-specific empirical studies and comparative cross-linguistic studies. Pedagogical applications of evaluation research also need to be explored. Citation results indicated that the groundbreaking monographs in this field generate the highest citation counts, and that the most cited works cover a variety of sub-fields of linguistics, which may further prove the heterogeneous nature of the evaluative dimension of language.
A Corpus-based Study of Transfers in English Nominal Groups
Authors: He Qingshun
Published: February 2020

This article investigates the possibility to form determiner complexes in English nominal groups and the potential of leftward transfer of functional elements in nominal groups. The research finds that it is not possible to form hypotactic determiner complexes; rather there are hypotactic numeral complexes, hypotactic Epithet adjective complexes, hypotactic Classifier noun complexes and hypotactic Thing noun complexes, and the words for all the slots have the potential to form paratactic complexes. The corpus-based research confirms the potential of leftward transfer in nominal groups. Thereby, four types of shifts were identified: the shift from the Thing noun to the Classifier noun or adjective is a process of metaphorization from the group rank to the word rank; (2) the shift from the Classifier adjective to the Epithet2 adjective is a process of subjectification from the distinctive to the nondistinctive features of the Thing noun within the domain of ideational metafunction; (3) the shift from the Epithet2 adjective to the Epithet1 adjective is a process of subjectification from the domain of ideational metafunction to that of interpersonal metafunction; (4) the shift from the Epithet1 adjective to the post-Deictic adjective is a process of grammaticalization from the open-set attitude adjectives to the closed-set attitude adjectives.
Microencapsulation of Pigments by Directly Spray-Drying of Anthocyanins Extracts from Blueberry Pomace: Chemical Characterization and Extraction Modeling
Authors: Lu Yushuang , Liang Xianrui , Cheng Lishuang , Fang Sheng
Published: February 2020

The aim of this study was to develop an environmentally friendly process to extract anthocyanins from blueberry pomace using water as a solvent and directly microencapsulate anthocyanins by spray drying. The anthocyanins in water and ethanol extracts were characterized by high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. The malvidin-3-O-galactoside and malvidin-3-O-glucoside were identified as the main anthocyanins in the blueberry pomace. The anthocyanins profiles of water extracts were similar to that by ethanol extraction. The effects of extraction parameters including solid-to-liquid ratio and temperature on the extraction efficiency and anthocyanins concentration were studied. The blueberry anthocyanins degraded at temperatures higher than 60 °C and all anthocyanins showed similar degradation tendency. The result showed that the artificial neural network (ANN) modeling could be well used to portray the effects of these parameters. Finally, the water extracts were successfully spray dried to produce microencapsulation of blueberry anthocyanins with maltodextrin (MD) as wall materials.

A Short Note on the Determinant of a Sylvester–Kac Type Matrix
Authors: da Fonseca Carlos M.
Published: February 2020

The Sylvester–Kac matrix, also known as Clement matrix, has many extensions and applications. The evaluation of determinant and spectra of many of its generalizations sometimes are hard to compute. Recently, E. Kılıç and T. Arikan proposed an extension the Sylvester–Kac matrix, where the main diagonal is a 2-periodic sequence. They found its determinant using a spectral technique. In this short note, we provide a simple proof for that result by calculating directly the determinant.

From linguistics to litigation: Reflections on the legal aspects of reversing language shift
Authors: Viangalli François
Published: February 2020

The Corsican language is in a paradoxical situation characterized, on the one hand, by a decline in its use which is directly related to strong political action by the French Republic in favour of a complete centralization of the language in the country – which began in the middle of the nineteenth century as regards Corsica in particular – and, on the other hand, by a strong political desire, expressed by a large majority of the population and carried out by the Corsican Assembly, to initiate a real program of linguistic revitalization in order to grant the language of the island an official status. This situation enlightens the linguistic tension hidden behind the official monolingualism that the French Constitution enacts. It constitutes a real challenge for the State, on both political and legal grounds. This article expounds, from a political and legal point of view, especially in municipal, international and European law, the different obstacles such a desire for a revitalization will encounter, as well as the potential legal disputes that could emerge from it, on the base of the European Convention on Human Rights or European Union law.
Relative sea-level rise and land subsidence in Oceania from tide gauge and satellite GPS
Authors: Boretti Alberto
Published: February 2020

The relative and absolute sea-level patterns in the five LTT tide gauge stations of Oceania, Fremantle, and Sydney in Australia, Auckland, and Dunedin in New Zealand, and Honolulu in the Hawaii Islands, United States of America, are analyzed first based on tide gauge and GPS time series. The average relative rate of rise is +1.306 mm/yr., the average acceleration is +0.00490 mm/yr2, and the average absolute rate of rise is +0.125 mm/yr. This result is consistent with the result for Japan and the West Coast of the Americas. All the LTT tide gauges of the Pacific consistently show a small sea-level rise, with a significant contribution by subsidence, and negligible acceleration. This result is well-matched by the land increase, rather than shrinking, of the Pacific atolls’ islands recently highlighted by other researchers. Two case studies for locations where there are no LTT tide gauges are then provided. In Tuvalu, over the short time window 1977 to present, the relative rate of rise is +1.902 mm/yr., biased by low ESO water levels, and subsidence, but the absolute rate of rise is +0.157 mm/yr. In Adelaide, the relative rate of rise of the sea level is less than 2.3 mm/yr. with an overwhelming contribution by subsidence of 2.1 mm/yr. The thermosteric effect is thus less than 0.2 mm/yr. The sea-level acceleration is also small negative in Adelaide, −0.01936 mm/yr2.
Analysis of elastic rolling stand deformation and interstand tension effects on section faults of hot rolled wire rod and bars
Authors: Overhagen Christian , Braun Rolf , Deike Rüdiger
Published: February 2020

The present work aims at the modelling and simulation of the hot rolling process for wire rod and bars. After the fundamentals of plasticity, which are essential for the understanding of the process characteristics have been described, typical section deviations that can be expected in wire rod and bar mills are calculated with help of a numerical simulation model. The model allows the calculation of section shapes under the influence of elastic rolling stand deformations and interstand tensions. From this computational assessment of section faults, the necessity of inline measurement and process control for wire rod and bar mills is shown. This work is part of the PIREF project which incorporates the development of sensors, control systems and process models in order to control the dimensional accuracy of hot rolled wire rod and bars. The metal forming process model, as described here is used internally as a model for the static and kinematic interactions in the rolling process inside of the control model.
What is the Sceptical Solution?
Authors: Miller Alexander
Published: February 2020

In chapter 3 of Wittgenstein on Rules and Private Language, Kripke’s Wittgenstein offers a “sceptical solution" to the sceptical paradox about meaning developed in chapter 2 (according to which there are no facts in virtue of which ascriptions of meaning such as “Jones means addition by ‘+’” can be true). Although many commentators have taken the sceptical solution to be broadly analogous to non-factualist theories in other domains, such as non-cognitivism or expressivism in metaethics, the nature of the sceptical solution has not been well-understood. The main aim of this paper is to advance our understanding of the nature of the non-factualism about meaning proposed in the sceptical solution. It attempts to outline some desiderata that should be respected by interpretations of the sceptical solution and considers two objections raised against it in Barry Stroud’s paper “Wittgenstein on Meaning, Understanding and Community". It attempts to correct misconstruals of the sceptical solution that have been promulgated by Davidson and some of his followers and suggests that the sceptical solution developed by Kripke’s Wittgenstein is best viewed as a form of quasi-realism about meaning. It ends by outlining what it takes to be the most pressing challenges facing the sceptical solution.

Fever is a common phenomenon during infection or inflammatory conditions. This stereotypic rise in body temperature (Tb) in response to inflammatory stimuli is a result of autonomic responses triggered by prostaglandin E2 action on EP3 receptors expressed by neurons in the median preoptic nucleus (MnPOEP3Rneurons). To investigate the identity of MnPOEP3Rneurons, we first usedin situhybridization to show coexpression of EP3R and the VGluT2 transporter in MnPO neurons. Retrograde tracing showed extensive direct projections from MnPOVGluT2but few from MnPOVgatneurons to a key site for fever production, the raphe pallidus. Ablation of MnPOVGluT2but not MnPOVgatneurons abolished fever responses but not changes in Tb induced by behavioral stress or thermal challenges. Finally, we crossed EP3R conditional knock-out mice with either VGluT2-IRES-cre or Vgat-IRES-cre mice and used both male and female mice to confirm that the neurons that express EP3R and mediate fever are glutamatergic, not GABAergic. This finding will require rethinking current concepts concerning the central thermoregulatory pathways based on the MnPOEP3Rneurons being GABAergic.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTBody temperature is regulated by the CNS. The rise of the body temperature, or fever, is an important brain-orchestrated mechanism for fighting against infectious or inflammatory disease, and is tightly regulated by the neurons located in the median preoptic nucleus (MnPO). Here we demonstrate that excitatory MnPO neurons mediate fever and examine a potential central circuit underlying the development of fever responses.
A case study in competing methane regulations: Will Canada’s and Alberta’s contrasting regulations achieve equivalent reductions?
Authors: Johnson Matthew R. , Tyner David R.
Published: February 2020

The Canadian federal government and the Province of Alberta (the dominant oil and gas producing province) have released competing methane regulations for the oil and gas sector intended to take effect between January 2020–2023. Provisions in Canadian law could allow the provincial regulations to take precedent, but only if they are deemed to be equivalent in effect. This paper presents a comprehensive technical comparison of these upcoming regulations by considering potential site-by-site mitigation impacts on active oil and gas facilities in Alberta in 2018. This analysis was made possible by first creating a detailed inventory using recent pneumatic device count data and current production and activity data, which allowed detailed site-level calculations of regulatory impacts on a monthly basis as required by the regulations. The federal regulations are found to be stronger, achieving ~26% more methane mitigation at full implementation. Key differences are in limits on pneumatic pump emissions, vented emissions, and expected reductions in fugitive emissions through leak detection and repair surveys. The full analysis was repeated using production and inventory data for 2012 and 2017 to examine sensitivities to changing production patterns and facilitate comparisons to the 2012 baseline referenced in federal policy targets for methane reduction. The results were robust in all scenarios. Through a “Potential to Emit” threshold, the federal regulations also impact slightly fewer sites overall by exempting small sites handling limited gas volumes, while achieving greater overall methane reductions. Relative to a 2012 baseline, if fully implemented in 2018 the federal regulations would just reach the bottom of the 40–45% methane reduction target through a combination of past reductions (13%) and additional regulated mitigation (27%). However, recent trends in emissions from mined oil sands operations in particular (which are not affected by these regulations) suggests the 40–45% reduction goal for the overall sector may not be achieved by the 2025 target. Different scenarios to make the regulations equivalent are briefly discussed where the contrast in achieved mitigations for different key sources is important case study data for design of effective and efficient methane regulations.
Legal Regulation Of Private Law Aspects Of Water Use By Owners And Users Of Neighboring Land
Authors: Myronenko I.V.
Published: February 2020

The article is devoted to some questions of the legal legal regulation of neighborhood relations related to the use of water to meet the needs of owners and users of neighboring land. The regulation of this relationship has historically been an inseparable part of neighbour law. Regulations of this kind were contained in many historically significant Ukrainian legal documents (in particular, various editions of the Lithuanian Statutes, the Rights of the Little Russian People (1743), and others). Currently, the regulation of the use of water resources mainly comes under the sphere of public law. Consequently, the current Land Code of Ukraine does not contain regulations of this kind. Nevertheless, a study of international legislation and regulation policies on neighbourly relations emphasizes the necessity to legislate on the private aspects of neighbourly water use. In particular, such provisions include the laws of the Republic of Moldova, Georgia, Republic of Azerbaijan and some other post-soviet states. The findings of the study has made it possible to formulate the proposals aimed at improving the current legislation on this issue. They are based on a general rule forbidding to alter the natural movement (flow) of water, if it violates the rights and legitimate interests of owners or land users of neighboring land. The artificial movement (flow) of water, caused by the activity of land owners or land users, is proposed to regulate by contract by establishing land easements (discharge of water to a neighboring land plot, their redistribution between neighbors, etc.).

Regulating water-related relationships to meet the needs of owners or land users of neighboring land has historically been an integral part of «neighborhood law». Nowadays, the legal regulation of the relationship regarding the use of water resources has shifted to the sphere of public legal regulation. Nevertheless, the study of the laws of foreign countries and the practice of regulating good neighborly relations indicate the need for legal regulation of private aspects of neighborhood water use. They are mainly related to the prohibition of altering the natural movement of water if it violates the rights and legitimate interests of owners and owners of neighboring properties.
