Published: October 2020

Objetivo: Describir la variación en diversos indicadores de la composición corporal antes y después de vacaciones de fiestas patrias (VFP) en estudiantes universitarios con sobrepeso y obesidad. Métodos: Se evaluó la composición corporal a 11 estudiantes, dos veces antes (t1 y t2) y una vez posterior a VFP (t3). Se midió el peso, cintura, cadera, se calculó el índice de masa corporal (IMC) y se evaluó la masa grasa y magra segmental a través de absorciometría dual de rayos X (DEXA). Una ANOVA de medidas repetidas se utilizó para detectar cambios entre los tiempos (t1, t2 y t3). Resultados:Previo a VFP (t1-t2) se observa una disminución en la razón cintura/cadera (-4.26%; p=0.024). Posterior a las VFP (t2-t3) se aprecia un aumento significativo de la masa grasa total (+428g, p=0.019) y también una disminución en el índice musculoesquelético relativo (IMSR; -1.35%; p=0.048). No se observan cambios en indicadores antropométricos como peso e IMC. Conclusión: Las VFP se asocian a una variación desfavorable de la composición corporal en estudiantes universitarios con sobrepeso y obesidad. Considerar el peso corporal o IMC podría subvalorar el real impacto de este periodo crítico sobre la composición corporal de personas que presentan malnutrición por exceso.
Northwestward cropland expansion and growing urea-based fertilizer use enhanced NH3 emission loss in the contiguous United States
Authors: Cao Peiyu , Lu Chaoqun , Zhang Jien , Khadilkar Avani 
Published: October 2020

Abstract. The increasing demands of food and biofuel have promoted cropland
expansion and nitrogen (N) fertilizer enrichment in the United States over
the past century. However, the role of such long-term human activities in
influencing the spatiotemporal patterns of ammonia (NH3) emission
remains poorly understood. Based on an empirical model and time-series
gridded datasets including temperature, soil properties, N fertilizer
management, and cropland distribution history, we have quantified monthly fertilizer-induced NH3 emission across the contiguous US from 1900 to 2015. Our results show that N-fertilizer-induced NH3 emission in the US has increased from <50 Gg N yr−1 before the 1960s to 641 Gg N yr−1 in 2015, for which corn and spring wheat are the dominant contributors. Meanwhile, urea-based fertilizers gradually grew to the largest NH3 emitter and accounted for 78 % of the total increase
during 1960–2015. The factorial contribution analysis indicates that the
rising N fertilizer use rate dominated the NH3 emission increase since 1960, whereas the impacts of temperature, cropland distribution and
rotation, and N fertilizer type varied among regions and over periods.
Geospatial analysis reveals that the hot spots of NH3 emissions have
shifted from the central US to the Northern Great Plains from 1960 to 2015. The increasing NH3 emissions in the Northern Great Plains have been found to closely correlate to the elevated NH4+ deposition in this region over the last 3 decades. This study shows that April, May, and June
account for the majority of NH3 emission in a year. Interestingly, the
peak emission month has shifted from May to April since the 1960s. Our
results imply that the northwestward corn and spring wheat expansion and
growing urea-based fertilizer uses have dramatically altered the spatial
pattern and temporal dynamics of NH3 emission, impacting air pollution
and public health in the US.
Measurement report: Short-term variation in ammonia concentrations in an urban area increased by mist evaporation and emissions from a forest canopy with bird droppings
Authors: Osada Kazuo 
Published: October 2020

Abstract. Local meteorological conditions and natural and anthropogenic sources affect atmospheric NH3 concentrations in urban areas. To investigate potential sources and processes of NH3 variation in urban areas, hourly NH3 and NH4+ concentrations were measured during November 2017–October 2019 in Nagoya, a central Japanese
megacity. Average NH3 concentrations are high in summer and low in
winter. Daily minimum NH3 concentrations are linearly correlated with
daily minimum air temperatures. By contrast, daily maximum NH3
concentrations increase exponentially with temperature, suggesting that
different nighttime and daytime processes and air temperatures affect
concentrations. Short-term increases in NH3 concentrations of two types were examined closely. Infrequent but large increases (11 parts per billion (ppb) for 2 h)
occurred after mist evaporation during daytime. During 2 years of
observations, only one event of this magnitude was identified in Nagoya,
although evaporation of mist and fog occurs frequently after rains. Also,
short-term increases occur with a large morning peak in summer. Amplitudes
of diurnal variation in NH3 concentration (daily maximum minus minimum)
were analyzed on days with nonwet and low wind conditions. Amplitudes were
small (ca. 2 ppb) in winter, but they increased from early summer along with
new leaf growth. Amplitudes peaked in summer (ca. 20 ppb) because of
droppings from hundreds of crows before roosting in trees on the campus.
High daily maximum NH3 concentrations were characterized by a rapid
increase occurring 2–4 h after local sunrise. In summer, peak NH3
concentrations at around 08:00 local time (LT) in sunny weather were greater than in cloudy
weather, suggesting that direct sunlight particularly boosts the morning
peak. Daily and seasonal findings related to the morning peak imply that
stomatal emission at the site causes the increase. Differences between daily amplitudes during the two summers was explained by the different input amounts of reactive nitrogen from bird droppings and rain, suggesting that bird droppings, a temporary rich source of NH3, affected the small forest canopy.
Structural study of decrespignyite-(Y), a complex yttrium rare earth copper carbonate chloride, by three-dimensional electron and synchrotron powder diffraction

Published: October 2020

Abstract. The crystal structure of the mineral decrespignyite-(Y) from the
Paratoo copper mine (South Australia) has been obtained by applying δ recycling direct methods to 3D electron diffraction (ED) data followed by
Rietveld refinements of synchrotron data. The unit cell is a= 8.5462(2), c= 22.731(2) Å and V= 1437.8(2) Å3, and the chemical formula for Z=1 is
(Y10.35REE1.43Ca0.52Cu5.31)Σ17.61(CO3)14Cl2.21(OH)16.79⋅18.35H2O
(REE: rare earth elements). The ED data are compatible with the trigonal
P3‾m1 space group (no. 164) used for the structure solution (due to the
disorder affecting part of the structure, the possibility of a monoclinic
unit cell cannot completely be ruled out). The structure shows metal layers
perpendicular to [001], with six independent positions for Y, REE and Cu (sites
M1 to M4 are full, and sites M5 and M6 are partially vacant), and two other sites, Cu1 and
Cu2, partially occupied by Cu. One characteristic of decrespignyite is the
existence of hexanuclear (octahedral) oxo-hydroxo yttrium clusters
[Y6(μ6-O)(μ3-OH)8O24] (site M1) with
the 24 bridging O atoms belonging to two sets of symmetry-independent
(CO3)2− ions, with the first set (2×) along a ternary axis giving rise
to a layer of hexanuclear clusters and the second set (6×) tilted and
connecting the hexanuclear clusters with hetero-tetranuclear ones hosting
Cu, Y and REE (M2 and M3 sites). The rest of the crystal structure consists of
two consecutive M3 + M4 layers containing the partially occupied M5, M6, and
Cu2 sites and additional carbonate anions in between. The resulting
structure model is compatible with the chemical analysis of the type
material which is poorer in Cu and richer in (REE, Y) than the above-described
material.

Religião e linguagem: uma leitura da religião na Escrita do Deus de Jorge Luis Borges
Authors: Rocha Abdruschin Schaeffer , Terra Kenner Roger Cazotto 
Published: October 2020

Nietzsche é considerado figura de vital importância na crítica a certa “inflação do sentido” verificada no pensamento ocidental, tanto no que diz respeito à tradição filosófica quanto no que concerne ao Cristianismo. Esse caráter tirânico do sentido fortaleceu sua crítica que, em geral, conclui que todo sentido deriva do fenômeno, que é a representação subjetiva e interpretativa do mundo. Mesmo que não tenha sido a intenção de Nietzsche, suas reflexões ensejaram novos parâmetros para a compreensão da religião em bases não metafísicas. Por outro lado, temos o escritor Jorge Luis Borges, que parece aquiescer à crítica nietzschiana da assimetria entre mundo e linguagem. O escritor argentino relativiza a relação direta entre linguagem e mundo, o que coloca os limites da metáfora em um lugar de importância significativa. Além de uma aproximação criativa entre o filósofo alemão e o escritor argentino, destacamos a percepção borgeana da realocação de conteúdos metafísicos envelhecidos para o universo ficcional e criativo da literatura fantástica. Nesse sentido, a partir das teorias da linguagem, devedoras que são dessa tradição que remonta a Nietzsche, o presente artigo propõe uma compreensão da religião a partir do conto A Escrita do Deus, de Borges.

The welfare of culled dairy cattle sent to market and its impact on economic return
Authors: Rosen K , Llonch P , Langford FM 
Published: October 2020

AbstractThe aim of this study was to assess the welfare of culled dairy cattle sent to an auction in the UK and identify associations between animal-based measurement and economic gain. The population of cull dairy cows sold at a Scottish livestock market were assessed on ten occasions for measures including body condition, mobility, hair loss and lesions, swelling, body cleanliness, claw conformation and total time in pre-sale pens. Details on breed, age, breeding status, farm, weight and price were gathered from market reports and cattle passports. Questionnaires sent to farms gathered information on reason for culling, retirement period (a finishing period to improve body condition), and number of lactations, among other variables. Measures such as bodyweight, breeding status, and breed type influenced price paid, with heifers and larger animals receiving higher prices. A negative effect over price paid was due to reduced mobility and hair loss scores, suggesting that some animal-based indicators of compromised welfare may be associated with a lower economic return from the cows sent to market. No influence of retirement length on price paid was noted. Reason for culling also did not influence price paid, but considering the association found between welfare and price paid, this suggests that the farmers’ reason for culling may not be necessarily revealed by the visual appearance of the cow. This study reveals reasons for culling and quantifies the welfare of dairy cows at market and demonstrates how measures of breeding status and body size, as well as measures of welfare, influence the buyers’ decisions and prices paid at auction.
Evaluating factors influencing dog post-adoptive return in a Canadian animal shelter
Authors: Friend JR , Bench CJ 
Published: October 2020

AbstractUnderstanding the factors associated with post-adoptive return in dogs (Canis familiaris) is important for reducing shelter return rates. The objective of this retrospective study was to identify factors detectable in shelters associated with post-adoptive return in an objective dog-centric analysis. The records of 959 dogs were evaluated via factor analysis of seven behaviour and seven physical variables which resulted in the extraction of six principal factors. Fear aggression, ongoing health concerns, separation anxiety, sex-specific aggression, and age effect on source were not found to significantly impact outcome. In particular, dog aggression risk (a factor composed of breed, size, and dog aggression) was found to be significantly higher in returned dogs. Since dog aggression risk is associated with post-adoptive return, this could help shelters to modify policies to either screen aggressive dogs from the adoption population or improve adoption counselling in an attempt to help lower return rates.
