Prevalence of asymmetrical rupture in small earthquakes and its effect on the estimation of stress drop: a systematic investigation in inland Japan
Authors: Yoshida Keisuke 
Published: December 2019

AbstractStress drops of small earthquakes have been estimated under the assumption that the rupture propagates symmetrically within a circular fault. However, recent studies have observed directivity effects on seismic waves even for small earthquakes. In this study, rupture directivity was investigated systematically for small-to-moderate-sized earthquakes (M 3.5–5.5) that occurred beneath inland Japan from 2004 to April 2019. Apparent moment rate functions were determined for 1463 earthquakes, and their corner frequencies were inverted for their rupture parameters. The results indicate that most of the analyzed earthquakes (1217 of 1463) are characterized by significantly asymmetrical rupture propagation. The stress drops of the earthquakes estimated by considering asymmetrical rupture propagation were 16.8 MPa, which are almost twice the estimates based on the commonly used symmetrical rupture model. This shows the importance of recognizing the diversity of ruptures, even for small earthquakes, for extracting information about earthquake sources and the Earth’s structure. The prevailing rupture directivity can provide useful information on source parameters including the fault size, fault geometry, and rupture velocity of small earthquakes.
Deriving intensity–duration–frequency (IDF) curves using downscaled in situ rainfall assimilated with remote sensing data

Published: December 2019

AbstractThe rainfall intensity–duration–frequency (IDF) curves play an important role in water resources engineering and management. The applications of IDF curves range from assessing rainfall events, classifying climatic regimes, to deriving design storms and assisting in designing urban drainage systems, etc. The deriving procedure of IDF curves, however, requires long-term historical rainfall observations, whereas lack of fine-timescale rainfall records (e.g. sub-daily) often results in less reliable IDF curves. This paper presents the utilization of remote sensing sub-daily rainfall, i.e. Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP), integrated with the Bartlett-Lewis rectangular pulses (BLRP) model, to disaggregate the daily in situ rainfall, which is then further used to derive more reliable IDF curves. Application of the proposed method in Singapore indicates that the disaggregated hourly rainfall, preserving both the hourly and daily statistic characteristics, produces IDF curves with significantly improved accuracy; on average over 70% of RMSE is reduced as compared to the IDF curves derived from daily rainfall observations.
Advanced 4-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography reconstruction by combining motion estimation, motion-compensated reconstruction, biomechanical modeling and deep learning

Published: December 2019

Abstract4-Dimensional cone-beam computed tomography (4D-CBCT) offers several key advantages over conventional 3D-CBCT in moving target localization/delineation, structure de-blurring, target motion tracking, treatment dose accumulation and adaptive radiation therapy. However, the use of the 4D-CBCT in current radiation therapy practices has been limited, mostly due to its sub-optimal image quality from limited angular sampling of cone-beam projections. In this study, we summarized the recent developments of 4D-CBCT reconstruction techniques for image quality improvement, and introduced our developments of a new 4D-CBCT reconstruction technique which features simultaneous motion estimation and image reconstruction (SMEIR). Based on the original SMEIR scheme, biomechanical modeling-guided SMEIR (SMEIR-Bio) was introduced to further improve the reconstruction accuracy of fine details in lung 4D-CBCTs. To improve the efficiency of reconstruction, we recently developed a U-net-based deformation-vector-field (DVF) optimization technique to leverage a population-based deep learning scheme to improve the accuracy of intra-lung DVFs (SMEIR-Unet), without explicit biomechanical modeling. Details of each of the SMEIR, SMEIR-Bio and SMEIR-Unet techniques were included in this study, along with the corresponding results comparing the reconstruction accuracy in terms of CBCT images and the DVFs. We also discussed the application prospects of the SMEIR-type techniques in image-guided radiation therapy and adaptive radiation therapy, and presented potential schemes on future developments to achieve faster and more accurate 4D-CBCT imaging.

Published: December 2019

Background
Depressive symptoms show different trajectories throughout childhood and adolescence that may have different consequences for adult outcomes.

Aims
To examine trajectories of childhood depressive symptoms and their association with education and employment outcomes in early adulthood.

Method
We estimated latent trajectory classes from participants with repeated measures of self-reported depressive symptoms between 11 and 24 years of age and examined their association with two distal outcomes: university degree and those not in employment, education or training at age 24.

Results
Our main analyses (n = 9399) yielded five heterogenous trajectories of depressive symptoms. The largest group found (70.5% of participants) had a stable trajectory of low depressive symptoms (stable–low). The other four groups had symptom profiles that reached full-threshold levels at different developmental stages and for different durations. We identified the following groups: childhood–limited (5.1% of participants) with full-threshold symptoms at ages 11–13; childhood–persistent (3.5%) with full-threshold symptoms at ages 13–24; adolescent onset (9.4%) with full-threshold symptoms at ages 17–19; and early-adult onset (11.6%) with full-threshold symptoms at ages 22–24. Relative to the majority ‘stable–low’ group, the other four groups all exhibited higher risks of one or both adult outcomes.

Conclusions
Accurate identification of depressive symptom trajectories requires data spanning the period from early adolescence to early adulthood. Consideration of changes in, as well as levels of, depressive symptoms could improve the targeting of preventative interventions in early-to-mid adolescence.
A survey exploring biomedical editors’ perceptions of editorial interventions to improve adherence to reporting guidelines
Authors: Blanco David , Hren Darko , Kirkham Jamie J. , Cobo Erik , Schroter Sara 
Published: December 2019

Background: Improving the completeness of reporting of biomedical research is essential for improving its usability. For this reason, hundreds of reporting guidelines have been created in the last few decades but adherence to these remains suboptimal. This survey aims to inform future evaluations of interventions to improve adherence to reporting guidelines. In particular, it gathers editors’ perceptions of a range of interventions at various stages in the editorial process. Methods: We surveyed biomedical journal editors that were knowledgeable about this topic. The questionnaire included open and closed questions that explored (i) the current practice of their journals, (ii) their perceptions of the ease of implementation of different interventions and the potential effectiveness of these at improving adherence to reporting guidelines, (iii) the barriers and facilitators associated with these interventions, and (iv) suggestions for future interventions and incentives. Results: Of the 99 editors invited, 24 (24%) completed the survey. Involving trained editors or administrative staff was deemed the potentially most effective intervention but, at the same time, it was considered moderately difficult to implement due to logistic and resource issues. Participants believed that checking adherence to guidelines goes beyond the role of peer reviewers and were concerned that the quality of peer review could be compromised. Reviewers are generally not expected to focus on reporting issues but on providing an expert view on the importance, novelty, and relevance of the manuscript. Journals incentivising adherence, and publishers and medical institutions encouraging journals to take action to boost adherence were two recurrent themes. Conclusions: Implementing and evaluating editorial interventions to improve adherence to reporting guidelines is essential to improve the transparency of published research. This survey aims to cast light on the barriers and facilitators that can be expected when implementing diverse interventions, as well as on the potential impact of these interventions.

Published: December 2019

Can television be used to teach and foster entrepreneurship among youth in developing countries? We report from a randomized control field experiment of an edutainment show on entrepreneurship broadcasted over almost three months on national television in Tanzania. The field experiment involved more than 2,000 secondary school students, where the treatment group was incentivized to watch the edutainment show. We find some suggestive evidence of the edutainment show making the viewers more interested in entrepreneurship and business, particularly among females. However, our main finding is a negative effect: the edutainment show discouraged investment in schooling without convincingly replacing it with some other valuable activity. Administrative data show a strong negative treatment effect on school performance, and long-term survey data show that fewer treated students continue schooling, but we do not find much evidence of the edutainment show causing an increase in business ownership. The fact that an edutainment show for entrepreneurship caused the students to invest less in education carries a general lesson to the field experimental literature by showing the importance of taking a broad view of possible implications of a field intervention. This paper was accepted by David Simchi-Levi, behavioral economics.

Published: December 2019

<p>The quality of coffee is strongly affected by its aroma, so that instrument for aroma testing is necessary especially for quality control. In this research, coffee aroma was tested using electronic nose and then correlated to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The green beans of robusta coffee (<em>coffee canephora </em>var.<em>robusta</em>) originated from Sumatra was used as a testing sample. The roasting temperature was varied to be 180 °C, 195 °C, and 210 °C, while the roasting time was set to be constant at 20 minutes. After the roasting process, the coffee beans were grounded using a coffee grinder. The feature of the response signal for each gas sensors of the electronic nose to ground coffee aroma, was extracted using two methods; i.e. gradient multiplied by signal peak and average value. The principle component analysis (PCA) was applied to discriminate the aroma of ground coffee with varied roasting temperature. The scoreplot of PCA analysis shows a clear discrimination of each coffee aroma, produced by different roasting temperature. From the GCMS analysis, it is clearly confirmed that more aromatic compounds detected when the roasting temperature increase. It is correlated with the discrimination result using electronic nose. The loading plot interpretation provides information that TGS822 and TGS826 are the most affecting sensors for discrimination of coffee aroma with varied roasting temperature. In the future, the electronic nose is potentially applied in coffee industry for quality control during process.</p>
Transgressive or just unexpected? Heteroglossic gender performance and informal popular music learning
Authors: Bylica Kelly , Butler Alison , Wright Ruth 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
This article explores the tensions between ‘doing gender’ and ‘doing popular music’ within the context of informal popular music learning for one group of girls of age 12–14 in a Southwestern Ontario elementary school. Using the transposition of Bakhtin’s concepts of monoglossia and heteroglossia to the performance of gender, the authors explore how members of Group G, an all-girl popular music band, perform heteroglossic gender behaviours, even while maintaining and presenting an outwardly monoglossic performance of gender in other respects. Furthermore, we explore how aspects of the girls’ behaviours vacillated between traditional gendered discourses and traditional discourses of popular music. Finally, findings suggest that the girls of Group G may not have been deliberately transgressive in their performances of gender but that they may have produced heteroglossic gender performances as part of a process of exploring their own identities. We conclude by considering the informal popular music classroom as a space that may be conducive or constricting towards the possibilities of heteroglossic gender performances and the need for a broadening of pedagogies of popular music that take into consideration both gender and power as it relates to gender.
CanRock classroom: Two pre-service teachers’ experiences of a popular music pedagogy course in Canada
Authors: Bell Adam Patrick , Stelter Ryan , Ahenda Kathleen , Bahhadi Joseph 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Research on popular music pedagogy tends to centre on teaching and learning practices related to school-aged students; less research has focused on the training of pre-service teachers. We present the perspectives of two pre-service teachers on their experiences taking the first iteration of a popular music pedagogy course at a university in Canada as part of their music education studies. The examination we present is limited to one site and two pre-service teachers’ perspectives, but focuses on some important themes including group dynamics, songwriting, integrating technology and learning popular music instruments. We begin by surveying some recent related literature on popular music pedagogy before outlining our purpose and method. Then, we detail the underpinning ‘informal learning’ ethos of the course and provide a course description. Finally, we present our findings on the two pre-service teachers’ experiences with the course and conclude with a brief discussion that contextualizes these results with related literature.
Sobre o que cantam as mulheres camponesas e Ronderas de Cajamarca?
Authors: Paredes Penafiel Adriana Paola 
Published: December 2019

Este artigo analisa as manifestações de mulheres camponesas e ronderas de Cajamarca (Peru) em forma de cantos sobre a resistência contra o projeto de mineração Conga em espaços de diálogos com diversas audiências simpatizantes da luta. Estes cantos tornam visíveis relações e protocolos com a água e com a terra e restituem a autoridade às relações que permitem a continuidade da vida. O canto é visto assim como uma prática insurgente no sentido que articulam os pactos e as traições guardados na memória oral e torna visíveis os “seres da terra” que padecem dos efeitos da mineração. Os encontros entre estas mulheres e as várias audiências são espaços para estender nossos conhecimentos, sobre as práticas, pensares, entre pessoas de regimes de relação diferentes para uma proposta cosmopolítica.

What do the peasant women and Ronderas of Cajamarca sing about?

This article examines contestations of peasant women and ronderas (rural
patrol) from Cajamarca (Peru) that are performed in songs. These songs are about people`s struggle and resistance against the Conga mining project and are shared in spaces of dialogue with various audiences that support the cause. Connections and protocols to the land and water become visible and these performances restitute authority to relations that allow the flux of life. To sing is seen as an insurgent practice because it articulates pacts and betrayals from the oral memory and sentient earth-beings are turned into view. These encounters between women and various audiences are opportunities for extending our knowing about practices, thoughts, among people of different regimes of relationships for a cosmopolitical proposal.

Frente a la necesidad de gestionar proyectos educativos en función de una formación ético-política que responda a las realidades escolares actuales, el proyecto aula-ciudad es una propuesta pedagógica que se implementó en una institución educativa de Bogotá D. C. con la finalidad de contribuir a la convivencia escolar a partir de aprendizajes en el marco de la formación en competencias ciudadanas; la experiencia permitió realizar un análisis de los resultados desde una metodología de investigación-acción y de los logros y alcances que se generan con prácticas pedagógicas en este sentido. El ejercicio de investigación presenta algunas reflexiones para concebir el aula de clases como espacio de aprendizaje y ejercicio de la ciudadanía, allí el conflicto escolar se concibe como oportunidad para mejorar la convivencia escolar y se reconfigura la manera en que se piensa la democracia, la participación o la multiculturalidad en el aula, de tal forma que se genere un impacto real en la cotidianidad de las relaciones sociales en la escuela.
Transnational History and Colonial Records: Locating Bengali Mobility in the British Malaya
Authors: Rahman Gazi Mizanur 
Published: December 2019

By the late 1980s, some historians began to identify their works as transnational history – which dealt with the past human mobility, and the circulation of goods, information, and ideas across the globe. Colonial records are an essential source for reconstructing transnational history. However, some of the colonial census-makers were not aware of the racial identity of transmigrants during the population enumeration. They categorised the transmigrants under different umbrella heads, and due to their stringent systems of cataloguing, the identity of diverse migrants was misplaced or generalised in census reports. Therefore, these certain ambiguities complicate the reconstruction of the transnational history of some specific migrant communities. With the impact of British colonialism in present-day South and Southeast Asia, South Asian multi-ethnic people, including Bengalis, migrated to Malaya. Initially, the British colonial administrators categorised the South Asian multi-racial migrants under different heads including “Bengalis & c.”, “Tamils & c.” and “Indians”. These umbrella terms in colonial records create problems in reconstructing the transnational history of anyone specific race from South Asia, such as the Bengali. Through a reinterpretation of colonial documents, empirical evidence, and oral interviews, this paper attempts to locate the Bengali migrants in British Malaya.

Abstract
The purpose of the supply chain management is to ensure a competitive advantage as well as specific added value for the benefit of all supply chain links. Appropriate management practices generate many benefits, allow for savings in particular segments of the supply chain by means of cost reduction, which in turn directly leads to the competitiveness of enterprises belonging to a specific chain. The above-mentioned issues have become the subject of this thesis. Therefore, the British American Tobacco distribution network is strategically analyzed. A location and number of distribution centers will be i.a. taken into account. Reduction in the number of distribution centers will be suggested in order to reduce logistics costs in the supply chain, i.e. transport and storage. The studies were carried out based on the analysis of flows and route planning of the logistics operator for the transport of the company's products.
Field Spectroradiometry for African Oil Palm Plantations in the Pacific of Costa Rica

Published: December 2019

This study allowed the leaf-scale spectral characterization of African oil palm by conducting field work with a portable spectroradio meter in plantations of the Central and South Pacific of Costa Rica. Spectral signatures of healthy, diseased and nutrient-deficient oil palms were collected. A geodatabase was designed and implemented for geographical, spectral and phytosanitary records. Determination of spectral signatures allows developing spectral libraries of different types of vegetation, soils and water. It also improves the classification of satellite images for thematic cartography and provides the calculation of multiple indices, among others. Healthy vegetation presents low reflectivity in the visible, although there is a peak in the green wavelength due to the presence of chlorophyll. The spectral behavior of diseased vegetation shows a reflectivity curve with a decrease in the infrared and an increase in the red and blue wavelengths. Reflectivity also depends on the water content of the plant.
