Benign juvenile focal epilepsy in a captive Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus)
Authors: Mínguez Juan J , Martinez Fernando , Vargas Astrid , Wessmann Annette , Lorenzo Valentina 
Published: October 2019

An 8‐week‐old intact male lynx cub (Lynx pardinus) from a captive breeding colony was presented with a 2‐day history of cluster seizures. There was no history of intoxication. Physical and neurological examinations were normal. Complete blood profile, infectious diseases panel, MRI of the brain and cerebrospinal fluid analysis were unremarkable. A diagnosis of suspected idiopathic epilepsy was made. The lynx cub was treated with increasing doses of phenobarbital and seizure activity stopped within 28 days. After 23 seizure‐free months, phenobarbital was tapered over 4 months and finally discontinued. No further seizures were observed during the follow‐up period of 8 years. Given the early onset followed by rapid and maintained remission, seizure semiology and the lack of underlying disease, a presumptive diagnosis of benign focal epilepsy similar to benign childhood focal epilepsies as described in human medicine is postulated.

Abstract
The CRESST (Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting Thermometers) dark matter search experiment aims for the detection of dark matter particles via elastic scattering off nuclei in $$\mathrm {CaWO_4}$$CaWO4 crystals. To understand the CRESST electromagnetic background due to the bulk contamination in the employed materials, a model based on Monte Carlo simulations was developed using the Geant4 simulation toolkit. The results of the simulation are applied to the TUM40 detector module of CRESST-II phase 2. We are able to explain up to $$(68 \pm 16)\,\mathrm {\%}$$(68±16)% of the electromagnetic background in the energy range between 1 and $$40\,\mathrm {keV}$$40keV.
Casimir effect in an axially symmetric spacetime with unparticles
Authors: Bezerra V. B. , Muniz C. R. , Vieira H. S. 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
We investigate the Casimir effect of the massless scalar field in a cavity formed by ideal parallel plates in the spacetime generated by a rotating axially symmetric distribution of vector or scalar (tensor) unparticles, around which the plates orbit. The presence of the unparticles is incorporated to the background by means of a correction to the Kerr solution of the Einstein equations, in which the characteristic length and the scale dimension associated to the unparticle theory are taken into account. We show that the Casimir energy density depends also on these parameters. The analysis of the “ungravity” limit for the Casimir energy density, in which the characteristic length is very large in comparison to the horizon radius, is made, too. At zero temperature, we show that such a limit implies the instability of the system, since the Casimir energy density becomes an imaginary quantity. The general result is compared to the current terrestrial experiments of the Casimir effect. Thermal corrections also are investigated and the ungravity limit again examined, with the aforementioned instability disappearing at high temperatures.
Filmação e representação: o audiovisual nas montagens de performance do batuque de Ponto Chique – MG
Authors: Ribeiro Pâmilla Vilas Boas Costa 
Published: October 2019

O presente artigo discute como a produção de um filme com o batuque de Ponto Chique e outros grupos de batuques vizinhos, ligados pelo rio São Francisco, mobiliza processos sociais e estéticos, ou seja, como o filme, enquanto processo de produção e exibição, se insere nessa relação entre drama estético, drama social e drama ritual. A partir do diálogo com autores da teoria da performance, o ponto de partida é discutir categorias como representação, drama e montagem, compreendendo a filmação como a materialização desse espaço fluido onde se assenta a cultura batuqueira/vazanteira. A partir do uso das imagens enquanto método etnográfico, o artigo busca refletir sobre as relações entre as montagens batuqueiras e as montagens do filme como ficção e fricção entre passado e presente. Opera-se com a hipótese de que os fragmentos do passado organizam o tempo fílmico e podem constituir uma temporalidade própria dos batuques.

Authors: Bruno Fabiana 
Published: October 2019

A contarmos da primeira metade do século XIX, as histórias da antropologia e da fotografia mereceram capítulos vinculados, que atestam uma relação de proximidade ao longo de suas trajetórias. Nos dias atuais, considerando-se o universo de saturação do mundo das imagens, referenciado por muitos autores como “pós-fotográfico”, à guisa das confidências entre fotografia e antropologia, o que se subscreve é um cenário de reflexões críticas sobre “os usos” e “o pensamento” das imagens fotográficas em suas perspectivas antropológicas. Nesse cenário, emerge também um arco de problematizações acerca de um conhecimento próprio das imagens e indaga-se sobre qual é o lugar das imagens e o que queremos delas.

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is the most modern technique for plankton research. The present paper deals with the taxonomy and morphology of some rare and endangered planktonic chlorophytes in relation to scanning electron microscopy. Water samples from the distinct water body of the Sundarbans have been concentrated and examined by scanning electron microscopy. A total of 45 species, of which 17 species of Scenedesmaceae, 10 species each of Hydrodictyaceae and Desmidiaceae, five species of Chlorococcaceae, two species of Selenastraceae and only one species of Chlorellaceae were recorded from the study site. Some species were recorded as new and rare from the study area. About 18 species including nine extremely rare, seven occasional, six frequent, four sporadic and one abundant was recorded in the present study. A detailed taxonomic description with line drawings is also included in the present communication.
Diversity of parasitic Hymenoptera in three rice-growing tracts of Tamil Nadu, India
Authors: Daniel Johnson Alfred , Ramaraju Kunchithapatham 
Published: October 2019

Parasitic hymenoptera play a vital role in rice ecosystems as biocontrol agents of pests. Surveys were conducted from August 2015 to January 2016 in three rice growing zones in Tamil Nadu: western zone, Cauvery Delta zone, and high rainfall zone. A total of 3,151 parasitic hymenoptera were collected, of which 1,349 were collected from high rainfall zone, 1,082 from western zone, and 720 from Cauvery Delta zone. Platygastridae, Ichneumonidae, and Braconidae were the most abundant families in all the three zones. The species diversity, richness, evenness as well as beta diversity were computed for all three zones via Simpson’s, Shannon-Wiener and Margalef indices. The results showed the high rainfall zone to be the most diverse and the Cauvery Delta zone the least diverse, but with more evenness. Pairwise comparison of zones using Jaccard’s index showed 75–79% species similarity.

Published: October 2019

A camera trap survey was conducted in the recently protected Cleopatra’s Needle Critical Habitat (CNCH) in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, Philippines from February to May 2015 at 39 camera trap sites. A bait of common pig’s blood was used at 36 sites, while the three remaining sites were surveyed without a bait and monitored a stream with a latrine site or mud bath with tracks. Seven native species were detected and three of these species were endemic to the island province. Species included: Common Palm Civet Paradoxurus philippinensis, Palawan Porcupine Hystrix pumila, Collared Mongoose Urva semitorquata, Palawan Stink Badger Mydaus marchei, Palawan Leopard Cat Prionailurus bengalensis heaneyi, Asian Small-clawed Otter Aonyx cinereus, and Malay Civet Viverra tangalunga. Analysis of the activity patterns of the three most commonly captured species revealed predominantly nocturnal activity for the Common Palm Civet, Palawan Porcupine, and Palawan Stink Badger. The Philippine Palm Civet showed occasional diurnal activity. The seven photo-captured species appeared most common, or were at the least recorded, below 750m. Five species (the Philippine Palm Civet, Palawan Porcupine, Collared Mongoose, Palawan Stink Badger, and Palawan Leopard Cat) were also recorded above 1000m. The CNCH supports two threatened species, the Palawan Porcupine and the Asian Small-clawed Otter, which are listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN, and the Collared Mongoose is listed as Near Threatened. The Palawan Leopard Cat is considered Vulnerable within the Philippines, although it has yet to be assessed by the IUCN. This documentation highlights the biodiversity significance within the newly protected critical habitat and the need to support ongoing conservation efforts within the critical habitat.

Lines selected for different durations of tonic immobility have different leg lengths in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum
Authors: Matsumura Kentarou , Miyatake Takahisa 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Tonic immobility is an adaptive anti-predator behaviour observed in many species. This anti-predator behaviour is often correlated with a species’ movement motivation, so a relationship between the duration of tonic immobility and morphological traits supporting movement would be expected. Using the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, we carried out two-way artificial selection for the duration of tonic immobility over more than 43 generations, establishing populations with longer (L) and shorter (S) tonic immobility durations compared to those of a non-selected control (C) population. Here, we investigated differences in walking motivation and leg length between the selected populations. Walking motivation was significantly higher in beetles from the S population than that in those from the L population. Moreover, S-population beetles of both sexes had significantly longer legs than those from L and C populations. The present results suggest the evolution of longer legs in response to selection pressure for a shorter duration of tonic immobility in T. castaneum.
Ficophagus chaozhouensis n. sp. (Nematoda: Aphelenchoididae), an associate of Ficus hirta Vahl var. roxburghii (Miq.) King in China
Authors: Zeng Wensheng , Zhang Dayuan , Huang Jianghua , Zeng Yongsan , Ye Weimin , Giblin-Davis Robin M. 
Published: October 2019

Summary
A new nematode species was recovered from the syconia of Ficus hirta var. roxburghii from Chaozhou, Guangdong, China. It is described herein as Ficophagus chaozhouensis n. sp. and is characterised by possessing the combined characters of a short post-uterine sac, excretory pore located near the head, amoeboid sperm, three pairs of subventral papillae on the male tail, rounded male tail tip with mucron (occasionally swollen), absence of gubernaculum (or apophysis), a blunt rosethorn-shaped spicule without a terminal cucullus, and a digitate rostrum with a broadly squared tip. Ficophagus chaozhouensis n. sp. was separated from other sequenced species by differences in the partial small subunit (SSU) rRNA gene and D2-D3 expansion segments of the large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene. Phylogenetic analysis with LSU D2-D3 expansion segment sequences suggested that F. chaozhouensis n. sp. is clustered in the same highly supported monophyletic clade with F. aculeata, F. maxima and F. yoponensis, and is sister to F. aculeata.
From the Maistry to the Computer Operator: the Colonial Legacy of “Skilling India” through ICT Training
Authors: Sarkar Sreela 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Under the Hindu nationalist Narendra Modi government, the largest state-run and supported network of skills training schools, the Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs), are slated to be the most important sites for transforming subaltern youth into appropriate global workers for the IT-ITES sectors. Based on historical, archival research and sustained, ethnographic work in industrial schools in New Delhi, I trace parallels between the colonial, skilled craftsman, or the “maistry,” in the nineteenth century to the contemporary computer operator in the twenty-first century through inextricable linkages between forms of governmentality, communication technologies, and labor formations. Colonial and contemporary industrial students are constructed as uncivilized and trained for subordinate positions despite the leveling promise of industrial schools. However, both groups critically interpret development messages in the context of their everyday lives in demanding an “education” versus “training,” and in holding the state responsible for their welfare. Historical and ethnographic research is vital to critically examine the promise of “Skilling India” for marginalized communities.
The Effect of Economic Development on Women’s Well-Being in the Developing Economies
Authors: Gani Azmat , Al-Fori Alia 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the effect of economic development, measured by per capita incomes, on women’s well-being by relating a country’s per capita GDP with several dimensions that affect women’s affluence and well-being within the economic, social, and political context. The analysis is based on the theoretical framework of the modernisation-neoclassical approach. Regression analysis is conducted on data from a sample of the countries in the low- and middle-income category to determine the effect of economic development on several indicators of women’s well-being. The results provide strong evidence that economic growth was associated with improvements in some economic and social indicators of women’s well-being in low- and middle-income countries. However, the results do not reveal any strong association between economic development and women’s political participation. Some policy implications are drawn.
ICT Integration into Education: a Comparison of South Korea and Turkey
Authors: Tinmaz Hasan , Ozturk Yunus Emre 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
In this modern era, information and communication technology (ICT) devices such as smartphones have been influencing every aspect of our lives, including education systems. It is needless to say that ICT-integrated education systems enable more effective and efficient teaching and learning environments for societies. However, the levels and processes of ICT integration into education are different by country. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to compare South Korea and Turkey in terms of the of ICT integration into their education systems. For this, the study has been conducted as an archival study, and has comprehensively analyzed the academic resources and governmental reports by employing ICT Literacy framework. The results showed that both countries have made, and have been continuing to make, efforts to bring ICT and its benefits into education environments. While South Korea has had PCs and video systems for a long time, Turkey has only recently acquired tablet PCs and smartboards in classroom settings. Besides, both countries have been experiencing similar challenges integrating ICT into education, including stakeholders’ acceptance and teacher-training programs related to ICT utilization. Lastly, the obvious difference of these two countries seems that there is a huge business sector regarding ICT-based education in South Korea compared to Turkey due to the fact that South Korea initiated the ICT utilization in education years before Turkey. It is hoped that this study provides various helpful insights on integrating ICT into education for other countries.
The Phases of the Postwar Evolution of Capitalism: the Transition from the Current Crisis into a New Worldwide Developmental Trajectory
Authors: Vlados Charis 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
This article focuses on the evolutionary dynamics of the world economy after the Second World War to current day by reviewing the subject in evolutionary and holistic terms. In particular, its purpose is to examine the structuring of the current crisis and the prospects for overcoming it by advancing toward a new developmental phase, a new sustainable model of global development. We articulate our approach precisely at the link between the interconnection and the dialectic interdependence of the central structural components of global dynamics. In this direction, we introduce, propose, and utilize a three-sided structural analysis of global dynamics, a triptych. In particular, we claim that the changes in the global system are imprinted and can be studied at three co-located and dialectically interwoven central structural levels: at the level of current international regimes, at the level of central models of development and crisis, and at the level of the dominant types of business innovation. As a whole and on every level, the structural changes define and form in the background the evolutionary dynamics of the world economy, and thus by extension prescribe the conditions for the global system to construct the trajectory to exit from its current crisis.
Cities and the Meanings of Late Antiquity
Authors: Humphries Mark 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
The last half century has seen an explosion in the study of late antiquity, largely prompted by the influence of the works of Peter Brown. This new scholarship has characterised the period between the third and seventh centuries not as one of catastrophic collapse, but rather as one of dynamic and positive transformation. Where observers formerly had seen only a bleak picture of decline and fall, a new generation of scholars preferred to emphasise how the Roman Empire evolved into the new polities, societies, and cultures of the medieval West, Byzantium, and Islam. Yet research on the fortunes of cities in this period has provoked challenges to this increasingly accepted positive picture of late antiquity and has prompted historians to speak once more in terms that evoke Edward Gibbon’s History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. This study surveys the nature of the current debate, examining problems associated with the sources historians use to examine late-antique urbanism, as well as the discourses and methodological approaches they have constructed from them. It aims to set out the difficulties and opportunities presented by the study of cities in late antiquity, how understanding the processes affecting them has issued challenges to the scholarly orthodoxy on late antiquity, and how the evidence suggests that this transitional period witnessed real upheaval and dislocation alongside continuity and innovation in cities around the Mediterranean.

Published: October 2019

Background Magnetic resonance myelography (MRM) with three-dimensional (3D) T2-weighted (T2W) turbo spin echo (TSE) sampling perfection with application-optimized contrasts using different flip angle evolution (SPACE) may be a guide to the etiology of low back pain. Purpose To research the efficiency of a 3D T2W TSE SPACE MRM sequence for visualization of anatomic details of spinal nerve root at the spinal canal and lateral recess levels in the patients with low back pain. Material and Methods Lumbar spinal MRM 3D T2W TSE SPACE was performed in a total of 70 patients (median age 46 years). Patients were imaged while lying in a supine position with straightened legs. According to the degree of facet arthropathy findings, patients were divided into four separate subgroups in our retrospective cross-sectional study. Spinal nerve root angle was measured within the spinal canal and at lateral recess level, and facet joint angle and lumbar lordosis measurements were measured by two radiologists, independently. Results Lumbar level was strongly negatively correlated with facet joint angle (r = −0.95) as well as nerve root angle within the spinal canal (NRASC) (r = –0.857) and at the lateral recess level (NRALR) (r = −0.947). Intracanal decline of the spinal root angle caused by spinal stenosis findings was also observed ( P < 0.05). For the measurements of NRASC and NRALR, inter-observer correlation was 0.85 and 0.82 for the spinal canal and at lateral recess level, respectively. Conclusion 3D T2W SPACE in NRASC and NRALR provided high resolution images for evaluation. Therefore, this method may be a qualitative guide for the clinician and the surgeon in terms of root anatomy before any intervention.
