A ESCAVAÇÃO NO SÍTIO ARQUEOLÓGICO TEMPLO DOS PILARES E SUA RELAÇÃO COM A OCUPAÇÃO HUMANA E A PRODUÇÃO DE ARTE RUPESTRE EM MATO GROSSO DO SUL
Authors: Souza João Carlos de , Aguiar Rodrigo Luiz Simas de 
Published: March 2018

Apesar de um terço da arte rupestre de Mato Grosso do Sul estar em Alcinópolis, nunca lá houve escavação arqueológica. Visando superar esta lacuna, em março de 2016 o Laboratório de Arqueologia da UFGD empreendeu a primeira escavação arqueológica da região, tendo por objeto o Templo dos Pilares. Os resultados permitiram identificar dois momentos de ocupação humana: um mais antigo, que abrangeu o período entre 10 e 7 mil anos atrás e que está relacionado aos primeiros povos caçadores e coletores, autores das pinturas; e outro, mais recente, de povos ceramistas cuja presença remonta 3 mil anos, sendo os autores das gravuras. As datações radiocarbônicas apresentadas neste artigo foram feitas no Laboratório Beta Analytic, em Miami, USA. The excavation in Templo dos Pilares Archaeological Site and its Relation with Human Occupation and Rock Art Production in Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil ABSTRACTAlthough a third of rock art sites in Mato Grosso do Sul is located in Alcinópolis, until then no archaeological site was subject of archaeological excavation in this city. In the aim to eliminate this gap, the Laboratory of Archaeology at the Universidade Federal da Grande Dourados promoted the first archaeological excavation in that municipality and the chosen place was Templo dos Pilares. The results of the excavation indicates two moments of human occupation: the first and older covered the period between 10,000 and 7,000 years ago and is related to the first groups of hunters and gatherers, authors of rock paintings; the other one, more recent, is related with ceramists groups whose presence dates back 3,000 years, being the authors of the engravings figures. The radiocarbon dating was made by Beta Analytic Laboratory in Miami, USA.Keywords: Prehistory, Rock Art, Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil

Responses of hydrological model equifinality, uncertainty, and performance to multi-objective parameter calibration
Authors: Her Younggu , Seong Chounghyun 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Multi-objective calibration can help identify parameter sets that represent a hydrological system and enable further constraining of the parameter space. Multi-objective calibration is expected to be more frequently utilized, along with the advances in optimization algorithms and computing resources. However, the impact of the number of objective functions on modeling outputs is still unclear, and the adequate number of objective functions remains an open question. We investigated the responses of model performance, equifinality, and uncertainty to the number of objective functions incorporated in a hierarchical and sequential manner in parameter calibration. The Hydrological Simulation Program – FORTRAN (HSPF) models that were prepared for bacteria total maximum daily load (TMDL) development served as a mathematical representation to simulate the hydrological processes of three watersheds located in Virginia, and the Expert System for Calibration of HSPF (HSPEXP) statistics were employed as objective functions in parameter calibration experiments. Results showed that the amount of equifinality and output uncertainty overall decreased while the model performance was maintained as the number of objective functions increased sequentially. However, there was no further significant improvement in the equifinality and uncertainty when including more than four objective functions. This study demonstrated that the introduction of an adequate number of objective functions could improve the quality of calibration without requiring additional observations.
Degradation of azo dye by bacterium, Alishewanella sp. CBL-2 isolated from industrial effluent and its potential use in decontamination of wastewater
Authors: Ajaz Mehvish , Elahi Amina , Rehman Abdul 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
In the present study, Alishewanella sp. CBL-2 was characterized on the basis of biochemical and 16S rRNA sequencing. The bacterium was found to decolorize 83% Sumifex Tourqi blue within a period of 6 days at 37 °C and pH 7. The predominant form of the enzyme was found to be extracellular (78%) as compared to intracellular (16%). The breakdown of azo bond was confirmed through thin layer chromatography (TLC) analysis as new bands and peaks were observed in chromatograms of extracted metabolites of decolorized samples. Growth of beneficial microbial fauna in the presence of bacterial decolorized wastewater indicates that this wastewater is safe for the survival of microorganisms. High bioremediation potential makes Alishewanella sp. CBL-2 an impending foundation for green chemistry to remove azo dyes from industrial wastewater.

If you haven’t measured something, you really don’t know much about it. —Karl Pearson (attributed)Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms represent an important and often unappreciated cause of morbidity in diabetes, although the significance of this burden across the spectrum of patients and the underlying pathophysiology, including the relationship of symptoms with glycemic control, remain poorly defined. The relevance of GI symptoms and the necessity for their accurate assessment have increased with the greater focus on the gut as a therapeutic target for glucose lowering. This review addresses the prevalence, assessment, pathogenesis, and management of GI symptoms in diabetes, beginning with broad principles and then focusing on specific segments of the GI tract. We initially performed a literature search of PubMed by using synonyms and combinations of the following search terms: “gastrointestinal symptoms”, “diabetes”, “prevalence”, “pathogenesis”, “diagnosis”, and “management”. We restricted the search results to English only. Review papers and meta-analyses are presented as the highest level of evidence where possible followed by randomized controlled trials, uncontrolled trials, retrospective and observational data, and expert opinion.

The Amomos in the Byzantine chant: a diachronical approach with emphasis on musical settings of the 19th and 20th centuries
Authors: Papatzalakis Dimos 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
The book of the Psalms constitutes the main source from where the Offices of the Orthodox church draw their stable parts. It has been diachronically one of the most used liturgical books of the cathedral and the monastic rite. In this paper we focus on the Psalm 118, which is well known under the designation “Amomos”. In the first part of our study we look for the origin of the book of the Psalms generally. Afterwards we present the Offices in which the Amomos is included, starting from the Byzantine era and the use of the Amomos in the cathedral and the monastic services. Then, we negotiate the question of its use in the post-Byzantine era. In the next section we quote the most important settings of the Byzantine, post-Byzantine and new-Byzantine composers in Constantinople, Smyrna and Thessaloniki, as well as some evidence of their lives and their musical works. In the next section we introduce some polyprismatic analyses for the verses of the first stanza of the Amomos, which are set to music in 19th and 20th centuries. After some comparative musicological analyses of the microform of the compositions or interpretations, we comment on the music structure of the settings of Amomos in their liturgical context. Our study concludes with some main observations, as well as a list of the basic sources used to write this paper.
Thermodynamic model for solution behavior and solid-liquid equilibrium in Na-Al(III)-Fe(III)-Cr(III)-Cl-H2O system at 25°C

Published: March 2018

Abstract
The knowledge of the thermodynamic behavior of multicomponent aqueous electrolyte systems is of main interest in geo-, and environmental-sciences. The main objective of this study is the development of a high accuracy thermodynamic model for solution behavior, and highly soluble M(III)Cl3(s) (M= Al, Fe, Cr) minerals solubility in Na-Al(III)-Cr(III)-Fe(III)-Cl-H2O system at 25°C. Comprehensive thermodynamic models that accurately predict aluminium, chromium and iron aqueous chemistry and M(III) mineral solubilities as a function of pH, solution composition and concentration are critical for understanding many important geochemical and environmental processes involving these metals (e.g., mineral dissolution/alteration, rock formation, changes in rock permeability and fluid flow, soil formation, mass transport, toxic M(III) remediation). Such a model would also have many industrial applications (e.g., aluminium, chromium and iron production, and their corrosion, solve scaling problems in geothermal energy and oil production). Comparisons of solubility and activity calculations with the experimental data in binary and ternary systems indicate that model predictions are within the uncertainty of the data. Limitations of the model due to data insufficiencies are discussed. The solubility modeling approach, implemented to the Pitzer specific interaction equations is employed. The resulting parameterization was developed for the geochemical Pitzer formalism based PHREEQC database.

Abstract
The article presents the results of a study of the soil surface seasonal activity of two species of julidae, widely spread in the Balkan Peninsula: Leptoiulus trilineatus (C.L. Koch, 1847) and Megaphyllum trassylvanicum (Verhoeff, 1897). The material was collected by means of pitfall traps between May 2007 and May 2009 in natural and urban habitats exposed to varying degrees of anthropogenic pressure. In the study period 1474 specimens of L. trilineatus and 618 specimens of M. transsylvanicum were collected. The impact of the soil and air temperature and humidity on the seasonal activity of both species was measured through statistical analysis. The statistical data processing was conducted using SPSS 9.0 and StatPlus 3.5.3 software packages.
L. trilineatus and M. trassylvanicum are polytopic, mesophilic and mesotermic species with year-round activity in the studied area. There is no statistically significant correlation between the degree of anthropogenic impact and the activity of the two species.
Leptoiulus trilineatus shows equal preference for both urban and natural habitats in the studied area. The species demonstrates the typical of all millipedes bimodal activity, which is the highest in spring and the beginning of winter – in the periods from March to May and from November to December. The coefficients of correlation dependence of L. trilineatus activity on the tested abiotic environmental factors are not statistically significant. The Pearson-Brave coefficient which measures the effect of soil humidity on species activity is 0.417, which shows a positive correlation. M. trassylvanicum has the highest frequency in urban biotops such as parks in the urban and suburban areas of Shumen and in the coniferous habitats on the Shumen Plateau. In this area the species demonstrates its highest activity in spring and summer (from February to July). The abiotic factors with statistically significant effect on the soil surface activity of M. trassylvanicum are the soil and air temperature – the values of the Pearson-Brave correlation coefficients are 0.708 and 0.586 respectively.

Published: March 2018

Abstract
The method of heat protection and control of phenophases of fruit trees by means of a ring energy divider with insert in the zones of risky agriculture has been developed. This method is performed on the principle of a heat pipe (thermosyphon) or thermopile working in the device of a ring energy divider. The naturally circulating coolant can change the aggregate state, and the presence of a capillary porous structure in the ring channel facilitates the efficient transport of the liquid. The problem of soil freezing was solved as a task of a semi-infinite solid body, when the heat flux passing through the surface of the soil was about 5 W∙m−2, and the driving pressure was −9 °C. The operating pressure is established, the temperature profile is measured, and the coolant consumption and the type of porous structure are optimised. The economic impacts on one tree will make approximately $50, and for a fruit zone of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the economic impacts exceed 500 million dollars per year.

Published: March 2018

Abstract
Technologies for processing of digital signals find broad application in all spheres of the human activity, including agriculture. Further perfecting of these technologies is related to increasing of resolving power in analogue-to-digital and digital-to-analogue converters, requiring the improvement of quality indicator of the reference voltage sources such as noise level. This paper presents the possibilities for level reduction of output noise of the reference voltage sources. Circuit solutions of the single-stage and twostage, unipolar and bipolar low-noise sources of stable voltage of direct current produced on the basis of standard integral chips of voltage stabilizers are observed. The proposed circuit solutions provide reduction of output noise level of the reference voltage sources to the level of intrinsic noise of the operational amplifiers, which are part of the developed devices. It should be emphasized that single-stage unipolar low-noise sources of stable voltage of direct current are characteristic by the inversion of output voltage polarity that takes place in accordance with the polarity of output voltage of voltage stabilizer integral chip.

Published: March 2018

Abstract
Extensive and continuous areas of urban greenery are essential for the proper functioning of cities and for achieving optimal natural conditions. The aim of our study was to investigate the changes in the areas of public green space of Szczecin, Poznań and Wrocław in the years 1996–2013, and compare data on public greenery with demographic data and changes in the spatial development of the described cities. We used a linear regression and exponential regression to explain the results. In our opinion, it is necessary to establish the appropriate proportion of public greenery to the built-up areas in cities. Otherwise, we will be observing an adverse reduction of green areas in relation to residential areas. Surveys also indicate the need for action to prevent the outflow of population to the suburban areas.
Population projections for Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland, 2015–2065
Authors: Tarvainen Kyösti 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
The ethnic and religious compositions of Nordic populations have been projected by Eurostat (Lanzieri, 2011), the Pew Research Center (2015), and Statistics Denmark (2015). These studies are updated and complemented in this paper. Lanzieri’s consideration of the native population is supplemented by taking into account assimilation via marriages between natives and foreign-background persons. Immigration to Nordic countries increased significantly in 2015, but, on the other hand, immigration restrictions have been put in place. Therefore, there are no reliable estimates of future immigration. In this situation, the paper’s “what if” projections, incorporating the average 2012–2014 net immigration level, serve as useful reference information. The projected demographic changes are similar in the four Nordic countries. The development is fastest in Sweden; in 2065, the share of the native population is to decrease to 49%, the Western population is projected to fall to 63%, and the Muslim population increase to 25%.

Published: March 2018

Abstract
The present study evaluated the effects of five species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on vegetative development parameters and nutrient uptake of persimmon (Diospyros kaki L.) seedlings. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized experimental design with six treatments involving AMF inoculation (non-inoculated; Dentiscutata heterogama, Claroideoglomus etunicatum, Rhizophagus clarus, Acaulospora scrobiculata and A. morrowiae), in sterile soil (Oxisol – Dystrophic Red Latosol) under greenhouse conditions. Persimmon seeds were germinated in sterile sand and the seedlings were transplanted to the sterile soil and received AMF inocula. After 360 days, the following vegetative parameters were analyzed: plant height, number of leaves, leaf surface area, stem diameter, shoot and root dry mass, percentage of root colonization and nutrient accumulation in shoot and root biomass. We observed different responses to the AMF species tested. Seedling height and leaf surface area were promoted by inoculation with D. heterogama and A. morrowiae, and these species also promoted a higher percentage of root colonization. Plants inoculated with D. heterogama and C. etunicatum presented a greater number of leaves, but only D. heterogama promoted significant increases in stem diameter. Shoot dry mass was improved by inoculation with D. heterogama, A. morrowiae and C. etunicatum, while the first two species and R. clarus increased root dry mass. Nutrient accumulation in shoot and root biomass was stimulated by AMF inoculation, especially by D. heterogama and A. morrowiae. Therefore, the effects on early vegetative development were more pronounced in the persimmon seedlings inoculated with D. heterogama.
