A study of the bat diversity was conducted in Hulu Terengganu dipterocarp forest and Setiu Wetland Beach Ridges Interspersed with Swales (BRIS) forest in Terengganu, to study the species diversity, composition and stratification of fruit bats from the understorey to the forest canopy. Mist nets were set up at the understorey, sub-canopy and canopy layer while harp traps were set up at the understorey layer. We recorded 170 individuals from six families’ compromised 21 species from Hulu Terengganu dipterocarp forests and four species from Setiu Wetland BRIS forests throughout the sampling period. Megaerops ecaudatus and Cynopterus brachyotis were the most dominant species in Hulu Terengganu dipterocarp forest and Setiu Wetland BRIS forests. Our study also recorded two species with new distributional records for the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, namely, Rhinolophus chiewkweeae and Chaerephon johorensis in Hulu Terengganu dipterocarp forests. Potential factors that might influence the results were in terms of the canopy covers, the structural complexity of canopy, food availability and spatial characteristics. This study was able to increase the knowledge on the species diversity and composition of bats in Hulu Terengganu dipterocarp forest and Setiu Wetland BRIS forest, thus, further aid in the effort of bat conservation in both areas.

Satu kajian kepelbagaian kelawar telah dijalankan di hutan dipterokarp Hulu Terengganu dan hutan Beach Ridges Interspersed with Swales (BRIS) tanah lembap Setiu di Terengganu untuk mengkaji kepelbagaian spesies, komposisi dan stratifikasi kelawar dari bawah hingga ke kanopi hutan. Jaring kelawar telah di pasang di bawah kanopi, sub-kanopi dan kanopi, manakala perangkap harp telah diletak pada lapisan bawah kanopi. Kami merekodkan 170 individu daripada enam keluarga dan 21 spesies dari hutan dipterocarp Hulu Terengganu dan lima spesies dari hutan BRIS tanah lembap Setiu sepanjang tempoh pensampelan. Megaerops ecaudatus dan Cynopterus brachyotis adalah spesies yang paling dominan dalam hutan dipterocarp Hulu Terengganu dan hutan BRIS tanah lembap Setiu. Kajian kami juga telah mencatatkan dua spesies yang mempunyai rekod penyebaran baru di pantai timur Malaysia, iaitu Rhinolophus chiewkweeae dan Chaerephon johorensis daripada hutan dipterokarp Hulu Terengganu. Faktor-faktor yang berpotensi mempengaruhi keputusan adalah dari segi litupan kanopi, kepelbagaian struktur kanopi, ketersediaan makanan dan ciri-ciri ruang. Kajian ini dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan mengenai kepelbagaian spesies dan komposisi kelawar di hutan dipterokarp Hulu Terengganu dan hutan BRIS tanah lembap Setiu. Dengan itu, kajian lanjut diperlukan dalam usaha pemuliharaan kelawar di kedua-dua kawasan tersebut.

Chloromethane (CH3Cl, methyl chloride) is the most abundant volatile halocarbon in the atmosphere and involved in stratospheric ozone depletion. The global CH3Cl budget, and especially the CH3Cl sink from microbial degradation in soil, still involves large uncertainties. These may potentially be resolved by a combination of stable isotope analysis and bacterial diversity studies. We determined the stable isotope fractionation of CH3Cl hydrogen and carbon and investigated bacterial diversity during CH3Cl degradation in three soils with different properties (forest, grassland, and agricultural soils) and at different temperatures and headspace mixing ratios of CH3Cl. The extent of chloromethane degradation decreased in the order forest > grassland > agricultural soil. Rates ranged from 0.7 to 2.5 μg g−1 dry wt. d−1 for forest soil, from 0.1 to 0.9 μg g−1 dry wt. d−1 for grassland soil, and from 0.1 to 0.4 μg g−1 dry wt. d−1 for agricultural soil and increased with increasing temperature and CH3Cl supplementation. The measured mean stable hydrogen enrichment factor of CH3Cl of −50 ± 13‰ was unaffected by temperature, mixing ratio, or soil type. In contrast, the stable carbon enrichment factor depended on CH3Cl degradation rates and ranged from −38 to −11‰. Bacterial community composition correlated with soil properties was independent from CH3Cl degradation or isotope enrichment. Nevertheless, increased abundance after CH3Cl incubation was observed in 21 bacterial operational taxonomical units (OTUs at the 97% 16S RNA sequence identity level). This suggests that some of these bacterial taxa, although not previously associated with CH3Cl degradation, may play a role in the microbial CH3Cl sink in soil.Core Ideas
Chloromethane biodegradation is affected by temperature and soil properties.
The stable carbon enrichment factor of CH3Cl strongly depends on CH3Cl consumption.
The overall bacterial community is unaffected by chloromethane degradation.
Unexpected bacterial taxa displayed increased abundance upon CH3Cl incubation.

Published: March 2018

The increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment is problematic due to the risk of horizontal gene transfer and development of antibiotic resistant pathogenic bacteria. Using a suite of monitoring tools, this study aimed to investigate the sources of ARGs in a rural river system in Nova Scotia, Canada. The monitoring program specifically focused on the relative contribution of ARGs from a single tertiary‐level wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in comparison to contributions from the upgradient rural, sparsely developed, watershed. The overall gene concentration significantly (p < 0.05) increased downstream from the WWTP, suggesting that tertiary‐level treatment still contributes ARGs to the environment. As a general trend, ARG concentrations upstream were found to decrease as proximity to human‐impacted areas decreased; however, many ARGs remained above detection limits in headwater river samples, which suggested their ubiquitous presence in this watershed in the absence of obvious pollution sources. Significant correlations with ARGs were found for HF183 human fecal marker, Escherichia coli, and some antibiotics, suggesting that these markers may be useful for prediction and understanding of ARG levels and sources in rural rivers.Core Ideas
Tertiary wastewater treatment contributed antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) to the river.
ARG levels decreased as proximity to anthropogenic influence decreased.
ARGs were observed at detectable levels even in undeveloped headwaters.
High flow conditions correlated to high ARG loading in the river.
Positive correlations were found between ARGs and fecal indicators.

Published: March 2018

La acción que el sistema nervioso ejerce sobre el conjunto de células cromatóforos de los peces, la establecieron numerosos investigadores apoyándose en experiencias de excitación y de seccionamiento de nervios, así como en ensayos de estimulación eléctrica y de mutilación de determinados centros y tractos nerviosos. Con todo, y no obstante la armonía que existe en el estudio de la fisiología cromática de los teleósteos, en lo que atañe al control que ejerce el sistema nervioso a las células pigmentarias, los resultados diametralmente opuestos, apuntados sobre la materia por diversos investigadores, ponen de manifiesto la conveniencia de realizar otros estudios al respecto. En este artículo se hace la descripción de un trabajo que forma parte de las experiencias que se realizan en nuestro laboratorio, con el objeto de determinar el papel que desempeñan diferentes factores en el sistema de pigmentación de la carpa dorada - Carassius auratus.

Abstract
This paper assessed the potential impacts of trends detected in rainfall, temperature and wind speed on hydro and wind power resources in Burundi. Two climatic stations located at two contrasting regions, namely Rwegura catchment and northern Imbo plain, were considered. Rainfall, temperature and wind speed observed data were considered for the period 1950–2014 and future projection data from seven Regional Climate Models (RCMs) for the period 2021–2050 were used. The interannual variability analysis was made using standardized variables. Trends and rupture were respectively detected through Mann–Kendall and Pettitt non-parametric tests. Mann–Whitney and Kolmogorov–Smirnov tests were considered as subseries comparison tests. The results showed a downward trend of rainfall while temperature and wind speed revealed upward trends for the period 1950–2014. All models projected increases in temperature and wind speed compared to the baseline period 1981–2010. Five models forecasted an increase in rainfall at northern Imbo plain station while four models projected a decrease in rainfall at Rwegura station. November was forecasted by the ensemble mean model to slightly increase in rainfall for both stations. Therefore, the country of Burundi may benefit more if it plans to invest in wind power.
Multivariate frequency analysis of urban rainfall characteristics using three-dimensional copulas

Abstract
Urban runoff is a major cause of urban flooding and is difficult to monitor in the long term. In contrast, long term continuous rainfall data are generally available for any given region. As a result, it has become customary to use design rainfall depth as a proxy for runoff in urban hydrological analyses, with an assumption of the same frequency for runoff and rainfall. However, this approach has lack of overall coordination and cannot fully reflect the variability of rainfall characteristics. To address this issue, this study presents a three-dimensional copula-based multivariate frequency analysis of rainfall characteristics based on a long term (1961–2012) rainfall data from Guangzhou, China. Firstly, continuous rainfall data were divided into individual rainfall events using the rainfall intensity method. Then the characteristic variables of rainfall (design rainfall depth, DRD; total rainfall depth, TRD; peak rainfall depth, PRD) were sampled using the annual maximum method. Finally, a copula method was used to develop the multivariate joint probability distribution and the conditional probability distribution of rainfall characteristics. The results showed that the copula-based method is easy to implement and can better reflect urban rainstorm characteristics. It can serve a scientific reference for urban flood control and drainage planning.
Do signo à construção: o legado saussuriano e as abordagens construcionistas da gramática
Authors: Marques Priscilla Mouta , Alonso Karen Sampaio , Pinheiro Diogo Oliveira 
Published: March 2018

A importância das proposições de Ferdinand de Saussure, apresentadas no Curso de Linguística Geral (CLG), para o estabelecimento dos pilares da dita Linguística Moderna é consenso entre os estudiosos da linguagem. Apesar disso, na literatura há pouco ou nenhum reconhecimento dos ecos das reflexões gramaticais do CLG sobre o modelo teórico da Gramática de Construções (GC), desenvolvido nos Estados Unidos no fim do século XX. Tendo isso em vista, este artigo propõe-se a: (i) mostrar de que maneira a GC oferece um caminho eminentemente saussuriano para a superação do hiato deixado pelo CLG no que tange ao tratamento da criatividade sintática e (ii) mais amplamente, avaliar a convergência – e eventuais divergências – entre a GC e o modelo gramatical esboçado no CLG. Espera-se, com isso, contribuir para uma reavaliação da extensão do legado de Saussure sobre a teorização gramatical contemporânea, reconhecendo-o como um (improvável?) antecessor da Gramática de Construções. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/gragoata.2017n44a1022

Published: March 2018

Students find it hard to speak English despite the fact that they have the basic knowledge of the language due to the lack of motivation and confidence. As the technology advances, teachers must be willing to take advantage of the potential channels provided by it. This study aims to improve students’ motivation and confidence to speak English through the use of Vlog in the Youtube Channel as well as to find out the element that affect the most to the improvement of the motivation and confidence. The data were obtained through classroom observations, questionnaires and interviews. In terms of findings, this study revealed that the use of Vlog in the Youtube Channel improved students’ motivation and confidence. The data also suggested that students were most motivated and confident to speak English because they were given enough time to think of what they wanted to talk about and it was done in the place they found familiar. Therefore, teachers are suggested to bring technology into the classrooms more often and adjust it to the situation where students find it convenient to speak up.
