USING LANDSAT SATELLITE IMAGES AND GIS TO ESTIMATE AND MONITOR THE AMOUNT OF ABSORBED CO2 IN DIPTEROCARP FOREST, DAK LAK PROVINCE
Authors: Trinh Huynh Thi Kieu , Duc Bui Hien 
Published: April 2018

Dipterocarp forest is a typical ecosystem in Central Highlands of Vietnam and Dak Lak province. Dipterocarp forest plays significant role about biodiversity values, CO2 absorption and concentration. However, there is a lack of awareness of biological potentials in the local people after years of logging. It is necessary to collect data about forest biomass and carbon stored on maps by space and time in order to estimate and monitor CO2 absorbed in the large area. Hence, using GIS to develop relationships between biomass factor and carbon stock with digital values for monitoring carbon sequestration is important and meaningful in dipterocarp forest ecosystem; this method can generate the necessary database and information in terms of CO2 emission. The research results can create a basis for the dissemination and promotion of payment for environmental services according to REDD+ program.Unsupervised classification into 3-4-5 class and overlap forming combinations were close relationships with TAGTB derived from square plots (30x30m) and achieved confidence level 86.8% which were applied to estimate biomass and forest carbon through Landsat image. In this study, remote sensing and management of data in ArcGIS software through allometric equations model showed dipterocarp forest in Ea Soup and Ea Hleo districts (Dak Lak province) with a total area of 125,404.8 hectares and biomass tanks (above and below ground) of forest trees reaching at 8,156,667.6 tons. Total carbon was stored 4,093,501.1 tons. Total CO2 was absorbed 15,023,149.1 tons.

Există societăți în care mentalitatea individuală și cea socială sînt profund impregnate de religie, care domină ca filozofie de viață ce-și călăuzește supușii de la cele mai mărunte la cele mai importante gînduri și fapte. Acolo, viața laică este reflexia fidelă a ideologiei religioase și se petrece sub imperiul narativelor ei ancestrale și colective. Acolo, prezentul și viitorul celebrează un trecut mistic, reproducîndu-l printr-un efort circular și în condițiile lor.
Există societăți în care viața socială interferează nesemnificativ sau deloc cu cea religioasă, religia fiind doar tolerată, nu asimilată ori devoratoare. Acolo, ea nu este ghid ideologic, factor și forță atotcălăuzitoare, ci doar o paradigmă reminiscentă, prezentul și viitorul constituindu-se ca etape ale unei spirale evolutive.
O societate căreia religia i se impune ca forță ce tinde să conserve perpetuu starea de fapt, opunîndu-se evoluției de paradigmă, spre a păstra societatea pe linia uniformă a idealului impus, și o societate ce consideră că, de vreme ce realitatea fundamentală este materia supusă legităților interne, ideologia apare, există și devine prin și în chipul ființelor materiale supuse evoluției, peste dezvoltări și avatarii.
Phenomenological Inquiry into Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy
Authors: Sneed Jenilee , Hammer Tonya 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
There is growing recognition within psychology and other disciplines that body experience may be as important as cognitive and emotional experience. However, psychology has few psychotherapeutic interventions to support the integration of mind and body within therapy. Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy (PRYT) is a form of mind-body therapy that uses yoga posture, touch, and psychotherapeutic dialogue to facilitate growth and healing. The current study explored the phenomenological experience of four women who each received five PRYT sessions. Research questions posed were: (1) What are the clients' experiences of the phenomena of PRYT? and (2) How does receiving PRYT sessions impact the clients' lives? The following themes emerged from the data as the essence of PRYT sessions: mindfulness, self-awareness, mind-body connection, in vivo experience of new behaviors, client-directed, empowerment, and life changes. These themes show significance in the mind-body connection and that it is important to consider alternative modalities such as PRYT for clients. Each participant noted greater insight into mind-body connection. They noticed the effect of cognition and emotion on the body, observed how the body can be used to improve coping through movement and breathing, and experienced different thoughts and emotions associated with different areas of their bodies. Although these results are not necessarily generalizable, they offer interesting theoretical implications for embodied interventions.

Authors: Barbosa Gomes Thalles Vicente , De Souza Tamara Daiane , Feliciano Braga Bruzze Patricia 
Published: April 2018

O presente trabalho visa apresentar considerações sobre uma estratégia simplificada de tratamento de águas superficiais, empregando tanino Tanfloc SG e extrato de sementes de Moringa oleifera como coagulantes primários na tratabilidade dessa água para fins não nobres. Para avaliar a viabilidade do emprego destes coagulantes biodegradáveis e fazer um estudo comparativo entre a utilização deles foram realizados ensaios, utilizando o aparelho Jar Test com diferentes concentrações dos coagulantes e medições da turbidez em intervalos de sedimentação de 2 horas, além de diferentes faixas de pH. A Moringa oleifera não mostrou viabilidade na tratabilidade da água superficial. Verificou-se que a concentração de 5mg.L-1 de tanino Tanfloc SG, para um tempo de sedimentação de 2 horas, foi a que proporcionou a maior redução de turbidez (79%). A partir de diferentes faixas de pH (5 e 9), a Moringa oleifera não apresentou nenhuma eficiência. Já o tanino mostrou viabilidade, sendo que em pH 5 houve uma redução de 87,9% e em pH 9 a redução da turbidez foi de 87,72%. Os estudos referidos, no presente trabalho, sugerem haver um maior potencial de aplicação do tanino como coagulante primário, por ter apresentado maior viabilidade no tratamento da água bruta em relação ao extrato de sementes de Moringa oleifera.Palavras-chave: Turbidez. Moringa oleifera. Tanino.AbstractThe aim of the present study is to present considerations on a simplified surface water treatment strategy using Tanfloc SG tannin and Moringa oleifera seed extract as primary coagulants in the treatability of this water for non-noble purposes. To evaluate the viability of the use of these biodegradable coagulants and to make a comparative study between the use of them, tests were performed using the Jar Test apparatus with different concentrations of coagulants and turbidity measurements in sedimentation intervals of 2 hours and different pH ranges. Moringa oleifera showed no viability in the surface water treatability. It was verified that the concentration of 5mg.L-1 of tanfloc SG tannin, for a settling time of 2 hours, was the one that provided the greatest turbidity reduction (79%). From different pH ranges (5 and 9), Moringa oleifera showed no efficiency. The tannin showed viability, and at pH 5 there was a reduction of 87.9% and at pH 9 the turbidity reduction was 87.72%. The studies referred to in this work suggest that there is a greater potential for the application of tannin as a primary coagulant, as it has been shown to be more viable in the treatment of crude water regarding the Moringaoleifera extract.Keywords: Turbidity.

The data set reported here includes the part of a Hot Serial Cereal Experiment (HSC) experiment recently used in the AgMIP-Wheat project to analyze the uncertainty of 30 wheat models and quantify their response to temperature. The HSC experiment was conducted in an open-field in a semiarid environment in the southwest USA. The data reported herewith include one hard red spring wheat cultivar (Yecora Rojo) sown approximately every six weeks from December to August for a two-year period for a total of 11 planting dates out of the 15 of the entire HSC experiment. The treatments were chosen to avoid any effect of frost on grain yields. On late fall, winter and early spring plantings temperature free-air controlled enhancement (T-FACE) apparatus utilizing infrared heaters with supplemental irrigation were used to increase air temperature by 1.3Â°C/2.7Â°C (day/night) with conditions equivalent to raising air temperature at constant relative humidity (i.e. as expected with global warming) during the whole crop growth cycle. Experimental data include local daily weather data, soil characteristics and initial conditions, detailed crop measurements taken at three growth stages during the growth cycle, and cultivar information. Simulations include both daily in-season and end-of-season results from 30 wheat models. Data access via doi 10.7910/DVN/M9ZT0F

Designing a Peer-Mentoring Program for Education Doctorate (EdD) Students
Authors: Lowery Kendra , Geesa Rachel , McConnell Kat 
Published: April 2018

Objectives: In preparation for creating a peer-mentoring program for education doctorate (EdD) students, we conducted a literature review to learn about the characteristics of peer-mentoring programs for graduate students and EdD students specifically.
Method: Our search criteria included articles about peer mentoring for graduate students only; published in peer-reviewed journals since the year 2000; and about programs that involved more experienced students, students farther along in the program, or recent graduates. These criteria resulted in 15 articles.
Results: We applied what we learned about program design and characteristics in the creation of a voluntary peer-mentoring program for first year students, including purposeful selection and assignment of mentors and mentees along with stated expectations for the type and frequency of mentor/mentee conversations.
Conclusions: More research is needed that addresses a consistent definition of peer mentoring, methodological concerns about research, challenges of these programs, and how certain aspects of peer-mentoring programs relate to program completion rates.
Implications for Theory and/or Practice: Continued investigation into the benefits and challenges of mentoring programs will inform our service to students. Investigation into multiple programs and peer mentoring in the later stages of the doctoral journey will strengthen the extant literature about peer mentoring for doctoral students.
The Environmental Protection Agency in the Early Trump Administration: Prelude to Regulatory Capture

Published: April 2018

We explore and contextualize changes at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over the first 6 months of the Trump administration, arguing that its pro-business direction is enabling a form of regulatory capture. We draw on news articles, public documents, and a rapid response, multisited interview study of current and retired EPA employees to (1) document changes associated with the new administration, (2) contextualize and compare the current pro-business makeover with previous ones, and (3) publicly convey findings in a timely manner. The lengthy, combined experience of interviewees with previous Republican and Democratic administrations made them valuable analysts for assessing recent shifts at the Scott Pruitt–led EPA and the extent to which these shifts steer the EPA away from its stated mission to “protect human and environmental health.” Considering the extent of its pro-business leanings in the absence of mitigating power from the legislative branch, we conclude that its regulatory capture has become likely—more so than at similar moments in the agency’s 47-year history. The public and environmental health consequences of regulatory capture of the EPA will probably be severe and far-reaching.
Tensividade e intersubjetividade no conto “A menina de lá”, de Primeiras estórias
Authors: Lima Eliane Soares de 
Published: April 2018

Com base nos apontamentos feitos por Luiz Tatit nas análises realizadas em seu livro Semiótica à luz de Guimarães Rosa, e também em outros textos seus, nosso intuito é o de examinar e descrever a configuração tensiva que subjaz ao conto “A menina de lá”. Interessa explicitar as operações sintáxicas que estão na base da estruturação narrativa e discursiva da trama e que, por isso mesmo, respondem pela sua força de convocação sensível-inteligível. Ao que nos parece, por meio da construção das personagens dessa narrativa, Rosa traz valiosas contribuições acerca das condições que regulam a interação entre os sujeitos.
