A reply to “Ranging Behavior Drives Parasite Richness: A More Parsimonious Hypothesis”
Authors: Charpentier Marie , Kappeler Peter 
Published: September 2018

This preprint has been reviewed and recommended by Peer Community In Ecology (https://dx.doi.org/10.24072/pci.ecology.100001).
In a recent article, Bicca-Marques and Calegaro-Marques [Bicca-Marques JC, Calegaro-Marques C (2016) Ranging behavior drives parasite richness: A more parsimonious hypothesis. American Journal of Primatology 78: 923–927.] discussed the putative assumptions related to an interpretation we provided regarding an observed positive relationship between weekly averaged parasite richness of a group of mandrills (Mandrillussphinx) and their daily path lengths (DPL), published earlier in the same journal [Brockmeyer T, Kappeler PM, Willaume E, Benoit L, Mboumba S, Charpentier MJE (2015) Social organization and space use of a wild mandrill (Mandrillussphinx) group. American Journal of Primatology 77: 1036–1048.]. In our article, we proposed, inter alia, that “the daily travels of mandrills could be seen as a way to escape contaminated habitats on a local scale”. In their article, Bicca-Marques and Calegaro-Marques proposed an alternative mechanism that they considered to be more parsimonious. In their view, increased DPL also increases exposure to novel parasites from the environment. In other words, while we proposed that elevated DPL may be a consequence of elevated parasite richness, they viewed it as a cause. We are happy to see that our study attracted so much interest that it evoked a public comment. We are also grateful to Bicca-Marques and Calegaro-Marques for pointing out an obvious alternative scenario that we failed to discuss and for laying out several key factors and assumptions that should be addressed by future studies examining the links between parasite risk and group ranging. We use this opportunity to advance this discourse by responding to some of the criticisms raised in their discussion of our article. In this reply, we briefly contextualize the main object of criticism. We then discuss the putative parsimony of the two competing scenarios.
Étudier le care en infrastructure

Published: September 2018

S’inscrivant dans le champ des Infrastructure Studies initié par la sociologue des sciences et des techniques Susan Leigh Star, l’article propose d’entrer dans les coulisses d’une infrastructure spécifique, une biobanque hospitalière, et de suivre gestes à gestes le travail de ses agents opérationnels, assistants médicaux et techniciens de laboratoire. Il propose ce faisant et dans un premier temps une mise à l’épreuve de la notion de care telle que théorisée par la philosophe Maria Puig de la Bellacasa à la suite des travaux de Bruno Latour et de sa notion de matters of concern. La spécificité de cette notion (care) étant d’interroger notre responsabilité face au devenir de la « chose » que nous étudions (qui est aussi la chose que nous construisons et que nous habitons), l’article propose dès lors d’initier dans un second temps un « style » d’enquête et de compte rendu d’enquête alternatif (alternatif en tant qu’altération du modèle classique), portant un care de forme symétrique à celui qu’ont manifesté ses enquêtés.

Ossigenoterapia iperbarica e terapia a pressione negativa nel trattamento delle lesioni difficili/Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and negative pressure wound therapy in the treatment of non-healing wounds
Authors: Bissoni Chiara , Hoxha Klarida , Scalise Alessandro , Longobardi Pasquale 
Published: September 2018

Lo scopo di questo articolo è valutare i risultati ottenibili trattando lesioni difficili attraverso la combinazione di ossigenoterapia iperbarica (OTI) e terapia a pressione negativa (TPN). Individuare le modalità con cui queste possano agire in sinergia coadiuvandosi, al fine di ottimizzare la rigenerazione dei tessuti e favorire la guarigione come qualità e tempi più brevi. Sono stati presi in analisi i dati di tre pazienti trattati presso il Centro Iperbarico di Ravenna che presentavano ferite agli arti inferiori aperte da più di sei settimane. È stato eseguito l’assessment iniziale della ferita e applicato un approccio multi terapeutico OTI e TPN per un periodo compreso tra 3-6 settimane. I pazienti presi in analisi sono giunti a guarigione completa entro 10 settimane di trattamento rispetto alla media di presa in carico per 28 settimane degli altri pazienti trattati presso la stessa struttura (dato reale) e alla media di 12 settimane previste nelle linee guida (benchmark). Le due terapie associate hanno prodotto un esito positivo che avrebbe richiesto tempi e costi maggiori se fossero state utilizzate singolarmente.
The purpose of this work is the evaluation of the results obtaineble by treating hard to heal wounds with the combination of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and Negative Wound Pressure Therapy (NWPT). Identify how HBOT and NWPT can act in synergy, in order to optimize tissue regeneration and promote a good quality healing and in shorter time. The study analyzes data of three patients affected, for more than six week, by lower limb wounds and treated at the Hyperbaric Center of Ravenna. The initial wound assessment was performed and a multi-therapeutic approach, HBOT and NWPT, was applied over a period of 3-6 weeks. The patients underwent to a complete healing after a maximum of 10 weeks of treatment compared to the 28-weeks average of other patients treated at the same facility (real data) and the 12-weeks average expected in the guidelines (benchmark).The combination of the two therapies, has led to a positive result saving time and money; the individual use of them would have required more time and costs.
The fructose–copper connection: Added sugars induce fatty liver and insulin resistance via copper deficiency
Authors: DiNicolantonio James J. , Mangan Dennis , O'Keefe James H. 
Published: September 2018

Background: Evidence suggests that the overconsumption of added sugars can induce fatty liver disease and insulin resistance.Aim: To propose a hypothesis that added sugars induce copper deficiency which can lead to hepatic iron overload, fatty liver disease, insulin resistance and eventually non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.Setting: On average, the intake of added sugars in humans is higher than levels that have been found to impair copper status in animals.Methods: Narrative review.Results: Fructose-induced copper deficiency may be a leading cause of fatty liver disease and insulin resistance.Conclusion: The reduction in the intake of added sugars may improve copper status and reduce the risk of fatty liver disease and insulin resistance.
Global 5 km resolution estimates of secondary evaporation including irrigation through satellite data assimilation

Published: September 2018

Abstract. A portion of globally generated surface and groundwater resources evaporates
from wetlands, waterbodies and irrigated areas. This secondary evaporation
of “blue” water directly affects the remaining water resources available
for ecosystems and human use. At the global scale, a lack of detailed water
balance studies and direct observations limits our understanding of the
magnitude and spatial and temporal distribution of secondary evaporation.
Here, we propose a methodology to assimilate satellite-derived information
into the landscape hydrological model W3 at an unprecedented 0.05∘, or
ca. 5 km resolution globally. The assimilated data are all derived from
MODIS observations, including surface water extent, surface albedo,
vegetation cover, leaf area index, canopy conductance and land surface
temperature (LST). The information from these products is imparted on the
model in a simple but efficient manner, through a combination of direct
insertion of the surface water extent, an evaporation flux adjustment based on LST
and parameter nudging for the other observations. The resulting water balance
estimates were evaluated against river basin discharge records and the water
balance of closed basins and demonstrably improved water balance estimates
compared to ignoring secondary evaporation (e.g., bias improved from +38 to
+2 mm yr−1). The evaporation estimates
derived from assimilation were combined with global mapping of irrigation
crops to derive a minimum estimate of irrigation water requirements
(I0), representative of optimal irrigation efficiency. Our I0
estimates were lower than published country-level estimates of irrigation
water use produced by alternative estimation methods, for reasons that are
discussed. We estimate that 16 % of globally generated water resources
evaporate before reaching the oceans, enhancing total terrestrial evaporation
by 6.1×1012 m3 yr−1 or 8.8 %. Of this volume,
5 % is evaporated from irrigation areas, 58 % from terrestrial waterbodies and 37 % from other surfaces. Model-data assimilation at even
higher spatial resolutions can achieve a further reduction in uncertainty but
will require more accurate and detailed mapping of surface water dynamics and
areas equipped for irrigation.
Does the East Greenland Current exist in the northern Fram Strait?
Authors: Richter Maren Elisabeth , von Appen Wilken-Jon , Wekerle Claudia 
Published: September 2018

Abstract. Warm Atlantic Water (AW) flows around the Nordic Seas in a cyclonic boundary
current loop. Some AW enters the Arctic Ocean where it is transformed to
Arctic Atlantic Water (AAW) before exiting through the Fram Strait. There the AAW
is joined by recirculating AW. Here we present the first summer synoptic
study targeted at resolving this confluence in the Fram Strait which forms the
East Greenland Current (EGC). Absolute geostrophic velocities and hydrography
from observations in 2016, including four sections crossing the east
Greenland shelf break, are compared to output from an eddy-resolving
configuration of the sea ice–ocean model FESOM. Far offshore (120 km at
80.8∘ N) AW warmer than 2 ∘C is found in the northern Fram
Strait. The Arctic Ocean outflow there is broad and barotropic, but gets
narrower and more baroclinic toward the south as recirculating AW increases
the cross-shelf-break density gradient. This barotropic to baroclinic
transition appears to form the well-known EGC boundary current flowing along
the shelf break farther south where it has been previously described. In this
realization, between 80.2 and 76.5∘ N, the southward transport along
the east Greenland shelf break increases from roughly 1 Sv to about 4 Sv and
the proportion of AW to AAW also increases fourfold from 19±8 % to
80±3 %. Consequently, in the southern Fram Strait, AW can propagate
into the Norske Trough on the east Greenland shelf and reach the large
marine-terminating glaciers there. High instantaneous variability observed in both
the synoptic data and the model output is attributed to eddies, the
representation of which is crucial as they mediate the westward transport of
AW in the recirculation and thus structure the confluence forming the EGC.
Multiscale porosity changes along the pro- and retrograde deformation path: an example from Alpine slates

Published: September 2018

Abstract. Estimating the porosity of slates is of great interest for the industries dealing with sub-surface areas such as CO2 sequestration, nuclear waste disposal and shale gas but also for engineering purposes in terms of mechanical stability for underground or surface constructions. In this study, we aim at understanding estimates of the porosity of slates from the Infrahelvetic flysch units (IFUs) in the Glarus Alps (eastern Switzerland). Surface and sub-surface samples were collected along a temperature gradient from 200 to 320 °C and therefore give the opportunity to link pore types along this temperature and deformation path. In addition, we indicate which porosity is the effect of surface processes and indicate the contribution of artificially induced porosity. The developed workflow consists of a combination of bulk rock measurements including helium pycnometry (He pycnometry) and mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) with image analysis. Image analysis was performed with high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM) on broad ion beam (BIB) prepared cross sections (BIB-SEM). Different vein generations provide evidence of porosity formation at depth, as they present paleo-porosity. Towards peak metamorphic conditions (prograde path), porosity reduces to < 1 vol%, indicated by matrix porosity detected by BIB-SEM. During exhumation (retrograde path) porosity increases due to the formation of microfractures interpreted as the effect of unloading (open fractures). At the surface, porosity is further increased due to the formation of macro-fractures (fracture apertures up to 1 mm), which are interpreted as being either due to the effect of weathering processes such as freeze and thaw cycles or artificially induced by sample preparation. Additionally, porosity and pore morphology are strongly dependent on mineralogy, sample homogeneity and strain, which change dynamically in time and space.
The effect of foliar feeding on physiological condition of apple trees and chemical content of fruits
Authors: Popova Valentina , Yaroshenko Olesya , Sergeeva Natalya 
Published: September 2018

Chemical content of leaves and fruits of the low growing apple trees on the rootstocks SК4 and М9 in the result of application of foliar feeding with water solutions of various mineral fertilizers was studied. Special ballastless multi-nutrient fertilizers in solid and liquid forms containing a wide range of chelated microelements were used. The effect of foliar feeding on the content in plants and fruits of macro- and microelements at the fruit maturity stage was estimated with the help of the method of leaf analysis. Significant stable increase of the content of nitrogen and potassium was observed in the leaves of apple trees on the rootstocks SК4 and М9. The content of potassium and calcium in apples became higher. With the help of statistical analysis it is shown that there exists close correlation between the content of elements in leaves and fruits: (N) r = 0.79; (K) r = 0.77; (Ca) r = 0.94; (Cu) r = 0.75; (Mn) r = 0.89; (Zn) r = 0.75; (B) r = 0.70. In the result of our physiological and biochemical tests positive effect of mineral feeding on the functional condition of apple trees during summer season when being subjected to intensive hydrothermal stress factors was established. The foliar feeding effect appeared as changing of the ratio of water fractions in the apple tree leaves at the background of increasing atmospheric drought, which in some years in July and August reached the criteria of "hazardous weather". Sufficient level of water content in the cells of apple trees on the rootstocks SК4 and М9 in case of foliar application of fertilizers was ensured as a result of bound water increasing. Statistic analysis of the experimental data showed significant changes in the ratio of bound and free water fractions. In August, in the environment of strong impact of negative abiotic factors, at higher level of water content in the tissues it was found that the content of pigments in leaves was much higher than in the reference version. The functional changes confirm that application of mineral nutrients contributes to activation of the adaptation mechanism. When foliar feeding is used the content of biologically active substances in apples is the highest: content of vitamin C increases by 13.6 - 15.2%, vitamin Р - by 8.7 - 24.6%.
The Power of Making Places: Collaborative Heritage and Working with ARISC in Armenia
Authors: Franklin Kathryn , Babajanyan Astghik 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
This article discusses the origins and ongoing research of the Vayots Dzor Silk Road Survey (VDSRS), a collaborative archaeological project that for the last three years has focused on the recording, research, and management of the medieval landscape in Vayots Dzor, Armenia. The VDSRS was created in a space opened by the commitment and support of the Armenian Research Institute of the South Caucasus (ARISC), an Overseas Research Center supporting research in and about Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. We discuss the ways in which the support structure of ARISC has shaped both the potential for and the nature of research in Armenia. As we will explore, the “soft power” of institutional support has enabled a critical shift in the demographics of who leads research as well as an opening of possibilities for questions asked about the past and the accessibility of archaeological data.
Similarities and differences between positive and negative particle masses in the bicubic equation limiting particle velocity formalism: positive or negative muon neutrino mass?
Authors: Soln Josip 
Published: September 2018

Here, rather detailed numerical comparisons of energies and momenta for$\ $\ positive $m_{+}=m\succ 0$ \ and negative \ $m_{-}=-m\prec 0$ \ \particle masses with $m_{+}^{2}=m_{-}^{2}=$ $m^{2}$ , within the bicubic
equation limiting particle velocity formalism with three particle limiting velocities $c_{1},$ $c_{2}$\ and $c_{3}$, are done. Already these limiting velocities, on a global scale, can differentiate positive, $m_{+}$ and&nbsp;negative \ $m_{-}$ particle masses. While $c_{1}(m_{+})$, $c_{2}(m_{+})$ and&nbsp;$c_{3}(m_{+})$ are real, imaginary and real, corresponding, respectively, to&nbsp;primary, obscure and normal particles; $c_{1}(m_{-})$, $c_{2}(m_{-})$ and $%&nbsp;c_{3}(m_{-})$ are respectively imaginary, real and real, now representing&nbsp;respectively, obscure, primary and normal particles. In fact, from limiting&nbsp;velocity solutions, one identifies: $c_{1}^{2}(m_{+})=$ $%&nbsp;c_{2}^{2}(m_{-}),c_{1}^{2}(m_{-})=c_{2}^{2}(m_{+})$, $c_{3}^{2}(m_{-})=$ $%&nbsp;c_{3}^{2}(m_{+})$.\ \ The unified particle mass-shell like forms with&nbsp;particle energies and momenta are readily expressible for $m_{+}=m\succ 0$&nbsp;and $m_{-}=-m\prec 0$ masses with respective limiting velocities, separating&nbsp;$c_{3}(m_{+})$ from $c_{3}(m_{-})$ as well as $c_{1}(m_{+})$ from $%&nbsp;c_{1}(m_{-})$ and $c_{2}(m_{+})$ from $c_{2}(m_{-}).$

We assume that flavor neutrinos, which, while in process do not change flavor, belong to normal limiting velocity $c_{3}$ class. Then the muon&nbsp;neutrino from OPERA velocity measurement should maintain the same velocity&nbsp;squares $v^{2}$ and $c_{3}^{2}$ when one changes the positive neutrino mass $%&nbsp;m_{+\nu }\left( \mu \right) \succ 0$ into the negative neutrino mass $%&nbsp;m_{-\nu }\left( \mu \right) \prec 0$ , since theoretically $%&nbsp;c_{3}^{2}(m_{+\nu }(\mu ))=c_{3}^{2}(m_{-\nu }(\mu ))$. For OPERA&nbsp;measurements this is verified perturbatively by simultaneously evaluating&nbsp;squares of normal limiting velocities with $m_{+\nu }(\mu )$ and $m_{-\nu&nbsp;}(\mu )$ masses, yielding the same result $c_{3}^{2}(m_{+\nu }(\mu&nbsp;)=c_{3}^{2}(m_{-\nu }(\mu )\simeq v_{\nu }^{2}\left( \mu \right) \simeq&nbsp;c^{2} $.
De interactielogica van verzet: een dramaturgische analyse van escalatie tijdens een informatieavond

The interaction of resistance: a dramaturgic analysis of escalation during an information evening
Theory about participation has long moved beyond merely informing citizens, arguing for more influential and effective instruments. Nevertheless, ‘inspraak’ remains widely implemented in Dutch practice, with mixed results. This article argues that the deliberative quality of the instrument is closely related to the performance of power. Dramaturgical concepts are employed to analyze resistance against the siting of a homeless facility in an Amsterdam neighborhood. One particular evening sets the stage for escalation, which ultimately frustrates the policy process. The analysis shows how the performance of the meeting invokes specific kinds of resistance. A different performance of ‘informing’ could potentially improve the quality of the public sphere.
De politiek van buy-to-let

Published: September 2018

The politics of buy-to-let
In this feature authors discuss recent research findings that are of interest to readers of Beleid en Maatschappij.Mounting concerns exist that small private investors exacerbate the urban housing crisis, by purchasing dwellings to rent out so-called ‘buy-to-let’ purchases. By buying up property, they may drive up house prices and exclude regular house-seekers. In this paper, we show that buy-to-let purchases constitute an increasing share of all purchases on the Dutch housing market, and especially so in larger cities and university cities. We argue these local trends do not emerge out of thin air and are not a ‘natural’ market process but should be considered the product of both global economic developments and national policies supporting these changes. Global developments include the increased mobility and ample availability of capital, exemplified by a prolonged low interest environment and a growing scarcity of high quality collateral and investment opportunities, making housing attractive for storing capital. Dutch housing policies have increasingly restricted access to social rent to low-income groups, while blowing up house prices fuelled with mortgage debts. As a consequence, a growing number of households falls in-between these two tenures: they have to resort to private rent. Private investors respond to and accommodate this demand through buy-to-let investments. Furthermore, the Dutch national government has made steps to relax regulation on the private-rental market and weakened tenant rights. In so doing, it sets the scene for amplifying social and spatial inequalities between the property rich and the property poor.
