Authors: Li Yang , Xu Zeshui , Wang Xinxin , Filip Florin Gheorghe
Published: November 2019

As an international scientific journal, Studies in Informatics and Control (SIC ) covers the field of Information Technology (IT) and topics related to research areas, as well as important applications in IT, with particular emphasis on Advanced Automatic Control, Modeling and Optimization. SIC has greatly contributed to the areas where it involves since its first online publication way back in 1992. This paper sets out to analyze the structure and the underlying trend of the journal by making use of bibliometric methods. Firstly, the classical indicators are provided to illustrate the performance of the journal. This current study performs an in-depth analysis of the most productive and the most influential authors, institutions, and countries/regions, as well as the most cited research works published in SIC. Secondly, the visualization tools VoS viewer and CiteSpace are used to create scientific maps that may explain the structure of the journal in an intuitionistic way. In the science mapping, the co-citation maps, and the co-authorship networks of various items (such as authors, institutions, and countries/regions) are conducted. Also, the bursts detection of these items are derived. The co-occurrence of keywords and their bursts detection and timeline review are shown, respectively. Finally, some conclusions are given. This paper provides a comprehensive and visual understanding of this well-regarded scientific journal.

O foco é na produção de normatividades pela difusão dessas tecnologias, tanto nos modos de objetivação e subjetivação quanto nas tensões de operação das técnicas jurídicas e dos sistemas de decisão assistidos por inteligência artificial. A questão final é sobre as implicações dessas mudanças para o direito enquanto prática de juízo centrada na questão da justiça. Estaríamos diante do fim do direito?
Access barriers to medical facilities for people with physical disabilities: the case of Peru
Authors: Moscoso-Porras Miguel , Fuhs Amy Katherine , Carbone Angela
Published: November 2019

Abstract: People with disabilities (PWD) face several challenges accessing medical services. However, the extent to which architectural and transportation barriers impede access to healthcare is unknown. In Peru, despite laws requiring that buildings be accessible for PWD, no report confirms that medical facilities comply with such regulations. Thus, we aim to provide an association between these barriers and access to medical facilities. Data from a Peruvian disability survey were analyzed. Participants were 18 years of age and older people who reported having a physical disability. Accessibility was defined by reported struggles accessing medical facilities (health or rehabilitation centers). Absence of ramps, handrails, elevators, adapted bathrooms, and information counters in medical facilities were reported as architectural barriers. The transportation barriers analyzed included struggles using buses or trains. Poisson regression models with robust variance were used to estimate prevalence ratios (PR) and to control for confounding variables. 20,663 participants were included, their mean age was 66.5 years and 57.5% were females. Architectural and transportation barriers reported were 40% and 61%, respectively. All barriers reported were more prevalent in rural compared to urban areas (p < 0.001). Inadequacy of ramps, handrails, and adapted elevators and bathrooms were associated with limited use of rehabilitation centers (p < 0.001) but not of health centers (p > 0.05). Architectural and transportation barriers represent a hindrance to seeking treatment at rehabilitation centers. Actions to improve this situation are needed.

Resumo: Este artigo tem como objetivo compreender como os pais de crianças com microcefalia receberam a comunicação do diagnóstico. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, realizado no Centro de Referência Estadual em Neurodesenvolvimento, Assistência e Reabilitação de Crianças (NINAR), em São Luís, Maranhão, Brasil, no período de abril de 2017 a fevereiro de 2018. Participaram do estudo os responsáveis de crianças com microcefalia. As técnicas de coleta de dados foram entrevistas estruturadas e semiestruturadas com 3 casais, 16 mães e 1 bisavó, totalizando 20 entrevistas. A amostra foi definida pelo critério de saturação, e foi realizada análise de conteúdo na modalidade temática. Para 18 entrevistados, a forma da comunicação foi considerada inadequada e traumática, algumas vezes atrelada ao sentido de “fim da vida” e dissociada de orientações sobre as formas de enfrentar a situação e cuidar do filho. Em 15 dos 20 casos, o diagnóstico de microcefalia foi dado por médicos e, em 3 casos, por enfermeira, por sogra (que soube pelo médico) e por uma funcionária da Secretaria de Saúde. Os dois outros não receberam diagnóstico: um casal soube da microcefalia pela Declaração de Nascido Vivo e outro associou o problema do filho a informações veiculadas na mídia. Foram três os eixos temáticos analisados: omissão do diagnóstico, processo de comunicação do diagnóstico e antecipação de prognóstico. As formas de comunicação do diagnóstico da microcefalia aos familiares influenciaram nos modos de aceitação e enfrentamento da situação.

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate physicochemical properties and bioactive potential of Sealer Plus, in comparison with MTA Fillapex, Sealapex and AH Plus. Setting time, flow, and radiopacity were evaluated based on ISO 6876 Standard. Flow was also assessed in area (mm²). The solubility and volumetric change of the sealers were evaluated after 7 and 30 days of immersion in distilled water. Solubility was evaluated by the difference in mass of materials before and after immersion. Volumetric change was evaluated by using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT). The bioactive potential was observed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) after immersion in PBS. Data were compared using ANOVA and Tukey tests (α=0.05). Sealer Plus presented the shortest setting time (196 min.) and Sealapex the longest (912 min.) (p<0.05). AH Plus showed the highest radiopacity (9.5 mm Al) and MTA Fillapex the lowest (2.7 mm Al) (p<0.05). All the sealers presented flow in accordance with ISO 6876/2012 (>17 mm). Sealer Plus showed low solubility and volumetric change (<1%), and MTA Fillapex showed the highest solubility (>25%), and volumetric change (>4%) after all time intervals (p<0.05). MTA Fillapex was the only sealer that showed bioactive potential. In conclusion, Sealer Plus presented proper physicochemical properties. However, this sealer did not present a bioactive potential.

Abstract This study correlated the bond strength (BS) and dentin penetration of different sealers by push-out test and Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) analysis. Forty-five root canals were prepared according to the crown-down technique and filled with gutta-percha associated to the following sealers (n=15): Endofill, AH Plus and MTA Fillapex. Five canals of each group were filled with the sealers added with 0.1% Rhodamine B dye. Next, the specimens were transversely sectioned and submitted to the push-out test (n=10) and CLSM analysis (n=5). The BS data showed the following means (MPa) and standard deviation: AH Plus (4.17±1.86); MTA Fillapex (3.13±1.96) and Endofill (2.10±1.03). Statistical analysis (two-way ANOVA, α=0.05) showed significant difference among sealers (p<0.001) and root canal thirds (p<0.001). The BS results of Endofill and MTA Fillapex were statistically similar (p>0.05), however, they were statistically different from AH Plus (p<0.001). The regional analysis of BS showed similarity between middle and apical thirds (p>0.05), and both were different from coronal portion (p<0.001). CLSM analysis verified tags formation in all groups and higher penetration of the specimens filled with AH Plus (p<0.05). The Kendall test (correlation between BS to dentin and sealer penetration into dentinal tubules) and the Pearson test (between failures pattern and sealer penetration into dentinal tubules) did not show correlation between the variables evaluated for all the tested sealers (p>0.05). AH Plus group had higher BS to dentin, and deeper tags formation than the other sealers. There was no significant correlation between BS and intratubular penetration of the tested sealers.

Abstract This study to evaluate the effects of different hydrofluoric acid (HF) concentrations and thermal cycling on the shear bond strength (SBS) of brackets to ceramic. Cylinders of ceramic were divided into 10 groups (n=15), according to HF concentrations: 1-1%;2-2.5%;3-5%;4-7.5%;5-10% (storage 24 h); 6-1%;7-2.5%;8-5%;9-7.5%; and, 10-10% (thermal cycling). All cylinders were etched for 60s and received one layer of silane. Metallic brackets were bonded to the cylinders using Transbond-XT, light activated for 40 s, using a LED (Radii Plus) and stored in deionized water at 37o C for 24h. The groups 6 to 10 were submitted to thermal cycling (7,000 cycles - 5o/55oC). SBS was performed in an Instron at crosshead speed of 1.0 mm/min. Data were submitted to two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post-hoc test (α=0.05). The Adhesive Remaining Index (ARI) was evaluated at 40x magnification. The different HF acid concentrations influenced on the SBS of the brackets to ceramic (p<0.05). The thermal cycling decreased the SBS of the brackets to ceramic for all acid concentrations (p<0.05). The ARI showed a predominance of scores 0 for all groups, with an increase in scores 1, 2 and 3 for the group storage for 24 h. In conclusion, the different HF acid concentrations 5.0%, 7.5% and 10% influenced on the SBS of brackets to ceramic. The thermal cycling decreased significantly the SBS of brackets to ceramic.

Published: November 2019

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate and correlate information about soil seed bank and canopy (%Canopy Openness and Leaf area index-LAI) in a mined area in restoration process through natural regeneration. The study area is located in Zona da Mata of Minas Gerais, which presents predominance of Semideciduous Seasonal Forest, and has an area of 0.5 ha in process of natural regeneration after six years of bauxite exploitation (without any intervention). Along the area, ten plots of 45x29cm were allocated and distributed in the best way to represent the whole area in restoration process. Seed bank diversity and canopy characteristics were evaluated in these plots, the last one using a NIKON D40X photographic camera, with fisheye lens of 8mm. As results, 8280 individuals (tree, shrub, herbs, and vines) were found, totaling 51 species and 24 botanical families. The Shannon diversity index (H’) was 2.770, and the equability (J) was 0.705, which demonstrate an average diversity in this area, with a density of 2114.94 germinated seeds m-2. Through the evaluation of the seed bank, the presence of exotic species (23.5%), the dominance of the pioneer species (68.6%), as well as high dispersal by wind (52.9%) were verified in the area. According to canopy characteristics, a significant variation between different points/regions within the study area was found, while patterns of existence of certain herbs as a function of canopy openness (lower vegetal cover/clearings) were also identified, as well as in response to spatial proximity between the allocated plots, confirming the high correlation between these two variables and their importance in the process of forest restoration.

Published: November 2019

Resumo O Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos (PAA) tem visado garantir alimentos em quantidade e qualidade para as pessoas em situação de insegurança alimentar, assim como incentivar a produção e a comercialização de produtos provenientes da agricultura familiar. Neste artigo são analisados os efeitos do PAA em relação à produção vegetal, comercialização e renda dos agricultores familiares assentados que participaram do referido programa, na modalidade Compra para Doação Simultânea, no município de Mirandópolis (SP), a partir da visão desses agricultores. A metodologia da pesquisa baseou-se na aplicação de questionários a 50 beneficiários do PAA, em 2014, residentes em três assentamentos do referido município. Entre os efeitos multidimensionais do PAA destacaram-se a ampliação da diversidade da produção para fins de comercialização; a redução da participação em outros canais de comercialização, principalmente via intermediários, e o aumento expressivo da renda monetária, especialmente daquelas famílias mais vulneráveis do ponto de vista econômico.
Habitat use, fruit consumption, and population density of the black-headed night monkey, Aotus nigriceps, in southeastern Peru
Authors: HELENBROOK William. D. , WILKINSON Madison L. , SUAREZ Jessica A.
Published: November 2019

ABSTRACT The black-headed night monkey, Aotus nigriceps, has one of the largest distribution ranges of the 11 night monkey species found across Central and South America. Yet, only three studies have focused on their ecology, describing considerable variation in habitat, group composition, and population density. Therefore, we analyzed habitat use, group composition, population density, and diet of 14 groups at two field sites in southeastern Peru. All sampled groups were found in secondary tropical rainforest, often dominated by native bamboo species. Half of the observed sleeping sites were in bamboo stands, though groups also emerged from cane thickets and lianas. This contrasts with other Aotus studies which have found groups living in tree cavities and lianas. Population density estimates for both sites were 19 and 50 individuals per km2, outside the range previously reported for A. nigriceps (31−34 individuals per km2). We recovered seeds of 12 species from fecal samples over the course of two field seasons, belonging mainly to Cecropiaceae, Piperaceae and Moraceae. Our results suggest that the black-headed night monkey in Peru can survive and even thrive in secondary forest, feeding extensively on pioneer species, occupying a range of forest types, all while living near human settlements.
ATUAÇÃO EX POST DOS DEPUTADOS BRASILEIROS EM POLÍTICA EXTERNA: Entre a critical issue perspective e a relação Executivo-Legislativo
Authors: Santiago Rodrigo
Published: November 2019

A pergunta que se pretende responder é: os deputados federais brasileiros são omissos ao debate da política externa? Para isso, levantam-se elementos que possibilitem a compreensão sobre o interesse congressual na política externa, especificamente na tramitação dos atos internacionais. A análise compreende o período de 1988 a 2014 com foco na Câmara dos Deputados. Testam-se duas hipóteses: 1) o tipo de ato internacional influencia positivamente na atuação parlamentar; 2) a atuação dos deputados exerce um efeito positivo sobre a probabilidade de atuação do Executivo. Por fim, percebe-se que os parlamentares atuam, de um lado, a partir da lógica da critical issue perspective e, do outro, constrangidos pela dinâmica Executivo-Legislativo.
What do children know upon entry to pre-school in Rio de Janeiro?
Authors: Bartholo Tiago Lisboa , Koslinski Mariane Campelo , Costa Marcio da , Barcellos Thais
Published: November 2019

Abstract The paper discusses the need for studies with longitudinal design and a baseline for construction of value added models to assess the impact of policies and school practices in pre-school and in the first years of primary school. The objective was to identify family factors or previous experience in a crèche that are correlated with the starting point in pre-school. The multivariate regression models suggest that a) age is a key factor to explain children’s cognitive development when they start compulsory education; b) educational level of parents/guardians is the most significant factor for family characteristics; c) the home learning environment indicator suggests a positive association with the cognitive test, even after control of socio-economic level and age variables.

Vínculos entre homeopatia e espiritismo no Rio Grande do Sul na passagem para o século XX
Authors: Weber Beatriz Teixeira
Published: November 2019

Resumo A prática da homeopatia teve importante desenvolvimento no Brasil na passagem para o século XX. Especialmente do Rio Grande do Sul, estado na região Sul do Brasil, homeopatas conseguiram introduzir suas práticas vinculando-se a uma perspectiva científica que organizou uma proposta de curso superior, mas também a um movimento religioso que divulgava o uso da homeopatia por meio de receituário recebido por médiuns. Esses dois movimentos possuíam adeptos que atuavam em frentes diversas, oferecendo os medicamentos homeopáticos gratuitamente ou divulgando suas ideias em periódicos e outros meios. O artigo analisa esses contextos de interação dos homeopatas e de práticos espíritas na primeira metade do século XX, procurando entender como essas perspectivas se aproximaram e permitiram permanências.
Homeopatia, medicina alternativa: entre contracultura, Nova Era e oficialização (Brasil, década de 1970)
Authors: Sigolo Renata Palandri
Published: November 2019

Resumo O artigo analisa como a homeopatia foi veiculada ao público leigo no Brasil da década de 1970, período importante no processo de legitimação desse conhecimento como especialidade médica, o que ocorre em 1980. As fontes analisadas – compostas de artigos que circulavam no Jornal do Brasil e de livros destinados ao público leigo – permitem distinguir diferentes interlocutores que possuíam expectativas diversas diante da homeopatia, revelando um universo heterogêneo de compreensões e utilizações dessa medicina. Ao mesmo tempo, as fontes estabelecem um universo de representações envolvidas na construção da homeopatia como medicina alternativa, em que é perceptível sua relação com os movimentos de contracultura e Nova Era na formação de um “público consumidor de homeopatia”.

Authors: de Pontes Ricardo A. S. , Santa-Rosa Sandra , Martinelli Adriana Pinheiro , Versieux Leonardo M.
Published: November 2019

Abstract—Araeococcus lageniformis is a new species described and illustrated here based on collections from the Atlantic Forest from the south of Bahia State, northeastern Brazil, and on morphological and anatomical characters. It is distinguished from
A. nigropurpureus by the diameter of the tank, the morphology of the leaf, floral bracts, and sepals, by its sessile to nearly sessile flowers, its seed morphology, and by the presence of trichomes on both sides of the leaves. So far, the species is only known from Apuarema and Ibirapitanga
municipalities. The type population was found in an unprotected area, fragmented by tracks and roads, where illegal logging takes place. Here we preliminarily assessed its conservation status as critically endangered.
An Updated Synopsis of Adenocalymma (Bignonieae, Bignoniaceae): New Combinations, Synonyms, and Lectotypifications
Authors: Fonseca Luiz Henrique M. , Lohmann Lúcia G.
Published: November 2019

Abstract—Adenocalymma is a genus of Neotropical lianas, shrubs, and treelets that belongs to tribe Bignonieae (Bignoniaceae). The genus is recognized by the cupular trichomes found on the prophylls, bracts, bracteoles, calyces, and fruits, and the presence of
articulated petioles and petiolules. A recent molecular phylogeny of Adenocalymma recovered all three species of Neojobertia as well as Pleonotoma albiflora nested within the genus, indicating the need for an updated circumscription. Molecular phylogenetic results combined
with morphological data also revealed the need for a revised circumscription for several species. Here, we present an updated circumscription and synopsis of Adenocalymma that recognizes 76 species within the genus. New combinations are proposed for N. alboaurantiaca, N. candolleana,
and N. mirabile. Lectotypes are proposed for A. longeracemosum, A. nodosum, and A. validum, a neotype is proposed for A. paucifoliolatum, and an epitype is designated to support the lectoype of A. trifoliatum. In addition, twelve new synonyms are proposed
as follows: 1) A. croatii is synonymized under A. biternatum; 2) A. aspericarpum is synonymized under A. cladotrichum; 3) A. fruticosum is synonymized under A. hyposticum; 4) A. apterospermum is synonymized under A. marginatum; 5) A.
campicola is synonymized under A. nodosum; (6, 7, 8) A. axillare, A. bipinnatum, and A. paucifoliolatum are synonymized under A. peregrinum; 9) A. involucratum is synonymized under A. pubescens; 10) A. reticulatum is synonymized under
A. scabriusculum; 11) A. pseudopatulum is synonymized under A. schomburgkii; and 12) A. prancei is synonymized under A. subincanum.

Systematics of Hymenophyllum subgenus Mecodium (Hymenophyllaceae) in Taiwan
Authors: Hsu Tian-Chuan , Huang Yu-Fang , Chao Yi-Shan
Published: November 2019

Abstract—Hymenophyllum subg. Mecodium, composed of the taxonomically notorious H. polyanthos and approximately 15 other closely related taxa, is a common element of filmy fern communities in the tropical and subtropical moist forests. In Taiwan,
although only H. polyanthos and one or two closely related taxa were recognized in recent studies, considerable morphological variation has been observed among populations throughout the island. Thus, we conducted an extensive morphological investigation, as well as a molecular phylogenetic
analysis, to clarify the specific diversity and phylogenetic relationships within Hymenophyllum subg. Mecodium in Taiwan. Field and herbaria surveys helped in recognizing five morphs in Taiwan, mainly differentiated by the combination of certain traits, viz., the presence or
absence of stipe wings, general frond size and shape, degree of laminar crispation, sori position, and involucre shape. The different morphs had diverse ecological preferences. The phylogenetic tree, inferred from the sequences of the plastid loci rbcL and rps4-trnS, demonstrated
that Hymenophyllum subg. Mecodium materials in Taiwan comprise several well-supported lineages, mostly corresponding to the classification based on morphology. Comparing with the protologues and type specimens of 34 related scientific names, the five morphs are herein recognized
as five independent species. A new species, Hymenophyllum exquisitum, is described here. Also, the status of H. paniculiflorum is reconfirmed and that of H. fujisanense, H. parallelocarpum, and H. punctisorum reinstated. Only H. exquisitum
and H. parallelocarpum are endemic to Taiwan among all the species studied. In addition, the names Hymenophyllum blumeanum, H. integrum, H. microsorum, H. polyanthos, H. tenellum, and H. wrightii are now excluded from the regional flora, and
several related taxa from China, Taiwan, and the Philippines are treated as synonyms. This study unravels the deep phylogenetic relationships within Hymenophyllum subg. Mecodium in Taiwan and Eastern Asia.
Taxonomic Delimitation of Species Complexes: A Challenge for Conservation; First Steps with the Abarema cochliacarpos Complex
Authors: Guerra Ethiéne , Andrade Bianca Ott , Morim Marli Pires , Vieira Iganci João Ricardo
Published: November 2019

Abstract—Taxonomic and ecological knowledge of plant species complexes informs their conservation status. Poorly delimited species boundaries can lead to incorrect assessments of biodiversity, and a rare species might have its distribution range overestimated if considering
other closely related taxa as the same one. The present study investigates the level of morphometric variation within the Abarema cochliacarpos complex throughout its entire distribution range in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and Caatinga vegetation, and considers the drivers of this
variation. A morphometric study using cluster, PERMANOVA, and NMDS analyses was conducted. We analyzed patterns of trait variation among and within populations, and their relationship with environmental factors along with their geographical gradient. From the four morphotypes previously cited
for the complex, the analyses delimited three morphological groups. Their morphological characteristics differed in response to environmental drivers. We identified morphological characters that differentiated the groups within the complex. The development of conservation strategies and actions
to fully protect a species complex requires the understanding of the morphological variation within the complex. In the Abarema cochliacarpos complex different threats and challenges are associated with the conservation of each morphotype. We highlight the importance of conserving the
various morphotypes of a species complex which has a large distribution range as evolutionary significant units, something that is frequently neglected in the published literature.
A New Bernardia (Euphorbiaceae) with Stellate Trichomes from the Brazilian Cerrado

Published: November 2019

Abstract—A new species of Bernardia with stellate trichomes from the Brazilian Cerrado is described and illustrated. Bernardia allemii is most similar to B. gardneri, but differs by its multi-stemmed, subshrub habit, broader leaf blades,
tomentose old branches, staminate bracteoles that are usually reniform to flabellate, and larger sepals and bracts in the pistillate flowers. Photographs, a distribution map, information about the conservation status of the new species, and a key to the species with stellate trichomes in Brazil
are also provided.
Taxonomic Observations Within Stellaria (Caryophyllaceae): Insights from Ecology, Geography, Morphology, and Phylogeny Suggest Widespread Parallelism in Starworts and Erode Previous Infrageneric Classifications
Authors: Sharples Mathew T.
Published: November 2019

Abstract—Recent phylogenetic analysis circumscribes the bounds of a core genus of Stellaria comprising five major extant clades and around 112 species. Some finer scale phylogenetic relationships emerging from that study are interpreted here. The Larbreae
and Petiolares clades are the main foci, as they comprise the bulk of Stellaria diversity. In particular, I address the implications of our phylogenetic work on some widespread and morphologically complex lineages of starworts, including the Stellaria borealis, Stellaria
cuspidata, Stellaria longipes, and Stellaria media groups, and also briefly discuss other subclades within the Larbreae and Petiolares clades. Based on phylogenetic evidence, Stellaria sitchana is here recognized as a distinct species from Stellaria
borealis rather than as Stellaria borealis subsp. sitchana, and this lineage is furthermore reported from the southern hemisphere for the first time. Other newly discovered lineages that require revised nomenclatural concepts pending future work also are briefly treated.
Overall, a picture of widespread evolutionary parallelism emerges within Stellaria, and this parallelism is largely responsible for the non-monophyletic nature of most previous subdivisions of the genus.
Two New Species of Turnera (Passifloraceae s. l., Turneroideae) from Northeastern Brazil and Considerations on the Identity of T. pernambucensis
Authors: Lucas da Costa-Lima James , Celestino de Oliveira Chagas Earl
Published: November 2019

Abstract—Two new species of Turnera (Passifloraceae s. l., Turneroideae), T. acangatinga and T. ibateguara, from the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil, are described. Some specimens of T. acangatinga were originally
treated as T. annularis. Turnera ibateguara was recently considered part of T. pernambucensis, a species which also occurs in the Atlantic Forest in northeastern Brazil, and which was, until then, only known from the type material. In this study, recent collections
of T. pernambucensis in the state of Alagoas revealed that both are distinct species and that have been mistakenly identified so far. We provide data on morphology, distribution, habitat, and phenophases, a preliminary conservation status assessment for the three species, and a key
to the species with capitate inflorescences from Alagoas and Pernambuco.
Fritzschia atropurpurea (Melastomataceae, Marcetieae): A New Species from the Serra do Cipó, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Authors: Nunes da Silva Diego , Reis da Rocha Maria José , Fernandes Guimarães Paulo José
Published: November 2019

Abstract—Fritzschia atropurpurea, an endemic new species from the Serra do Cipó, Espinhaço Range, Minas Gerais state, Brazil, is described and illustrated. This new species can be easily differentiated from its congeners by the combination
of the following characters: hirsute-glandular trichomes covering the branches, petioles, leaves, bracteoles, pedicels, hypanthium, sepals, and the medial-apical portion of the right margin of the petals; membranaceous leaves with a dark purple abaxial surface; and long pedicels. Images from
scanning electron microscopy, photos of the species in the field, a distribution map, and a key to identify the congeners that occur in the Serra do Cipó are presented. We suggest that if a formal assessment were performed, Fritzschia atropurpurea would probably be categorized
as an Endangered (EN) species.

Abstract—Monteiroa rubra is described as a remarkable new species from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. It is notably distinct from the other ten species of Monteiroa. The new species is morphologically most similar to the four species of the genus with
unlobed leaves that also lack cordate leaf bases. Monteiroa rubra apparently is an endemic species known from three localities in wetlands associated with grasslands in Augusto Pestana and Fontoura Xavier municipalities in southern Brazil. A morphological description, distribution map,
photographs, ecological notes, and a key to morphologically most similar species are presented. According to IUCN criteria, if a formal assessment were performed, the new species would probably be considered Endangered.
Full Characterization of Parikh's Relevance-Sensitive Axiom for Belief Revision
Authors: Aravanis Theofanis , Peppas Pavlos , Williams Mary-Anne
Published: November 2019

In this article, the epistemic-entrenchment and partial-meet characterizations of Parikh's relevance-sensitive axiom for belief revision, known as axiom (P), are provided. In short, axiom (P) states that, if a belief set $K$ can be divided into two disjoint compartments, and the new information $\varphi$ relates only to the first compartment, then the revision of $K$ by $\varphi$ should not affect the second compartment. Accordingly, we identify the subclass of epistemic-entrenchment and that of selection-function preorders, inducing AGM revision functions that satisfy axiom (P). Hence, together with the faithful-preorders characterization of (P) that has already been provided, Parikh's axiom is fully characterized in terms of all popular constructive models of Belief Revision. Since the notions of relevance and local change are inherent in almost all intellectual activity, the completion of the constructive view of (P) has a significant impact on many theoretical, as well as applied, domains of Artificial Intelligence.

The paper presents the results obtained when studying particles of aluminum-modifier-quartz composites by different physicochemical methods after mechanochemical treatment (MCT) in a planetary centrifugal mill. Graphite (C), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and stearic acid (SA) were used as modifiers. To increase the dispersibility of plastic metal powders in the composition (modifier metal), MCT was carried out in the presence of quartz with its mass fraction in the composite ranging from 5 to 20 %. The most significant grinding of aluminum particles was observed with an increase in the graphite content from 5 to 20 %, and SiO2 from 5 to 10 % in the composition of aluminum-modifier-quartz composites. The particle size decreases, while the crystallite size increases with an increase in the quartz content in the composite during the Al–SA–SiO2 system MCT. Al–SA–5%SiO2 showed the maximum defectiveness of aluminum after MCT. For the Al–PVA–SiO2 composition after MCT, an increase in the particle size and, accordingly, a decrease in the specific surface were observed at sufficiently low crystallite size values. It was shown that with an increase in the quartz content in the system, the defective crystal structure of aluminum particles increases as a result of MCT. In this case, the synthesized powder material is a composite formation of aluminum and quartz particles bound by a polymer obtained from polyvinyl alcohol. As a result of Al–modifier–SiO2 mixture MCT, powder activity increases due to the accumulation and redistribution of defects in aluminum particles, as well as changes in the surface structure occurring after modifying additives penetration into the oxide layer to be destroyed. A conceptual model for the transformation of the surface layer and subgrain structure of aluminum particles as a result of MCT is presented.

Savunma
yapıları oldukça karmaşık ve artzamanlı inşa tekniklerini barındırır.
Bulundukları toprakların hakimi olan medeniyetler değiştiği zaman onarılarak
kullanılmaya devam edilmiştir. Genellikle özel tasarım ya da süslemelerin
uygulanmadığı, az maliyetle hızlı inşa teknikleri tercih edilmiştir. Son yüzyıl
itibariyle özgün işlevini kaybetmiş bu kültür varlıkları bulundukları kentlerin
en belirleyici unsurudur. Kullanıcının kentsel hafızasında savunma yapıları çok
belirleyicidir çünkü kente bu savunma yapısı olmadan hiç tanık olmamışlardır.
Bu sebepten bu yapılara yapılacak müdahaleler en küçük ölçekte olmalıdır. Amasra
Kalesi, ilçe merkezinin bir bölümünü kapsamaktadır. Kalenin bazı bölümleri
tamamen yok olmuştur. Günümüze ulaşmış kısımları üzerinde detaylı araştırmalar
yapılarak, kalenin inşa edildiği dönemler ortaya konmuştur. 2013 yılından beri
UNESCO Dünya Mirası Geçici Listesi’nde bulunan Amasra Kalesi’nin tüm Ceneviz
kolonisi Karadeniz kıyı kaleleri ile karşılaştırılması yapılmıştır.

Bu
çalışmanın amacı, akademik çalışmaların oldukça az olduğu bu kültür varlığının
nasıl korunabileceği konusunu aydınlatmaktır. Bu yüzden öncelikle Amasra
Kalesi’nin kısaca tarihi geçmişine değinilmiştir. Ardından kalenin mevcut
durumu belgelenmiştir. Kalenin üzerinde gözlemlenen ve belgelenen hasarlar
ortaya konulmuştur. Bu hasarlara nasıl müdahale edileceği belirlenmiştir. Son
olarak kısa, orta ve uzun vadeli koruma önerileri geliştirilmiştir. Koruma
önerilerinin hayata geçirilebilir olması en önemli kıstastır. Bu yüzden alanda
yapılan görüşmeler, gözlemler ve diğer surlu yerleşimler ile yapılan
kıyaslamalar temel alınmıştır. Yapılan akademik çalışmalar ışığında bu kültür
varlığının doğru şekilde korunarak geleceğe aktarılması hedeflenmektedir.

Embedding and freezing fresh human tissue in OCT using isopentane v2
Authors: Roberts Kenny , Tuck Liz
Published: November 2019

For many cutting-edge spatial transcriptomic analysis methods, it is essential to prepare and store tissue in a manner that preserves RNA integrity, tissue morphology, and spatial orientation. This protocol describes the process of freezing fresh or fixed and cryoprotected tissues in optimal cutting temperature compound (OCT) using an isopentane-dry ice slurry. Rapid controlled freezing preserves RNA and mimises ice damage, while embedding in OCT prepares tissues for future cryosectioning.

This article tracing the existence of the pedagogic thinkers and their works in several teacher colleges in Indonesia in the period of 1950 to the late of 1990, among others in teacher training institute and pedagogy (IKIP) in Yogyakarta, Bandung, Jakarta, Semarang, Malang, Surabaya, Padang, and Ujung Pandang. This research employing qualitative approach by analyzing several classical references on pedagogy and find out that the pedagogic thinkers in IKIP Bandung and Yogyakarta are very prominent than others. For examples Imam Barnadib and Noeng Muhadjir from Yogyakarta, and Kartini Kartono, Sikun Pribadi, Redja Mudyahardja, Ngalim Purwanto dan others from Bandung. Several pedagogic thinker from another teacher college also prominent, but they are still less productive than pedagogic thinkers from IKIP Bandung and Yogyakarta. It is just Mochtar Buchori and Soegarda Poerbakawatja who could offset the pedagogic thinker’s productivity from IKIP Bandung and Yogyakarta. Artikel ini menelusuri keberadaan para tokoh pemikir ilmu pendidikan dan karya-karyanya di beberapa LPTK di Indonesia dalam kurun waktu 1950-an hingga 1990-an akhir, antara lain IKIP Yogyakarta, IKIP Bandung, IKIP Jakarta, IKIP Semarang, IKIP Malang, IKIP Surabaya, IKIP Padang, IKIP Ujung Pandang, dan juga beberapa institusi lain. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan penelitian kualitatif melalui penelusuran terhadap referensi-referensi klasik mengenai ilmu pendidikan, terlihat bahwa para penulis ilmu pendidikan di IKIP Bandung dan IKIP Yogya­karta sangat menonjol dibanding lainnya. Sebut saja Imam Barnadib dan Noeng Muhadjir dari IKIP Yogyakarta, kemudian Kartini Kartono, Sikun Pribadi, Redja Mudyahardja, Ngalim Purwanto dan lainnya dari IKIP Bandung. Beberapa penulis dari LPTK lain juga cukup diperhitungkan, namun masih kalah produktif dari IKIP Bandung dan IKIP Yogyakarta. Kiranya hanya Mochtar Buchori dan Soegarda Poerbakawatja yang dapat mengimbangi produktivitas dari para penulis ilmu pendidikan IKIP Bandung dan Yogyakarta tersebut.

This study was conducted since there is a problem of limited social studies learning source for junior high school or SMP. Mostly, teachers only provide textbooks or other learning material, but do not use environment as the source of social studies learning. Thus, learning source which uses environment is highly needed, such as role Dynamics of Asy-syuro Mosque in 1912-2015, which aims to increase students’ enthusiasm in learning social studies in class and to make students understand the lesson more easily because they can see it directly. In this research, the case study method was used because the researcher carefully observed the role of Asy-syuro Mosque in the Pre Independence (1912-1945) and the Post-Independence (1949-2015) periods. Data collection technique of this study was through Literature study, Observation, interview, and documentation study. The subjects of this study are the family of the mosque’s founder, Asy-syuro Mosque management, Cipari village’s elders, social studies teachers, and students of MTs Ponpes Cipari. Based on the research, it is found that Asy-syuro Mosque had a quite significant role change in seven aspects (Ritual, Social, Economy, Education, Da’wah, Politics, and Health). The role of Asy-Syuro Mosque in politics in 1912, 1945 and 1949 has values and meanings of great fighting, togetherness, cooperation, and nationalism soul. This case is included into learning source "Message" component.

Published: November 2019

Rhizoctonia solani es un hongo que afecta la producción de tubérculos y vigor de las plantas de papa Solanum tuberosum L. Las consecuencias ambientales que genera su control han impulsado la búsqueda de alternativas menos contaminantes, en donde los aceites esenciales tienen gran potencial. El arbusto silvestre Lippia origanoides H.B.K. (Verbenaceae) ha sido estudiado por sus propiedades fungicidas en su extracto esencial, por ello, el objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la actividad biocida del aceite esencial de L. origanoides sobre R. solani en condiciones in vitro. La extracción del aceite se realizó mediante arrastre con vapor. La composición química se determinó por cromatografía de gases-espectrometría de masas (GC-MS) y la actividad biocida del aceite se evaluó mediante la técnica de dilución en medio de cultivo, complementando los resultados con la técnica de bioautografía, la cual permitió identificar al timol como el compuesto mayoritario del aceite (60,7%) y responsable de la inhibición del hongo. La concentración 110 µL mL-1 limitó el crecimiento de R. solani al afectar sus estructuras, con ello se demostró el efecto biocida del aceite esencial y el potencial agente antifúngico natural.
