The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is the most widely used information source on the extinction risk of species. One of the uses of the Red List is to evaluate and monitor the state of biodiversity and a possible approach for this purpose is the Red List Index (RLI). For many taxa, mainly hyperdiverse groups, it is not possible within available resources to assess all known species. In such cases, a random sample of species might be selected for assessment and the results derived from it extrapolated for the entire group - the Sampled Red List Index (SRLI). The current contribution is the second in four papers that will constitute the baseline of a future spider SRLI encompassing 200 species distributed across the world.
A sample of 200 species of spiders were randomly selected from the World Spider Catalogue, an updated global database containing all recognised species names for the group. The 200 selected species where divided taxonomically at the family level and the familes were ordered alphabetically. In this publication, we present the conservation profiles of 45 species belonging to the families alphabetically arranged between Gnaphosidae and Nemesiidae, which encompassed Gnaphosidae, Idiopidae, Linyphiidae, Liocranidae, Lycosidae, Micropholcommatidae, Mysmenidae and Nemesiidae.
Influence de la force de la cohésion sur l’expression des facteurs thérapeutiques dans les traitements de groupe offerts à une clientèle dépendante
Authors: Légaré Andrée-Anne , Giroux Isabelle , Ferland Francine 
Published: July 2018

Cette étude vise à documenter les facteurs thérapeutiques présents dans le discours de joueurs et de toxicomanes ayant pris part à une thérapie de groupe dans un centre de traitement de la dépendance selon la force de la cohésion perçue. L’étude documente également la manière dont les facteurs thérapeutiques sont perçus et s’expriment chez cette clientèle dépendante. À cette fin, une analyse qualitative est réalisée sur les transcriptions d’entrevues de 15 participants répartis en deux catégories selon leur score à une évaluation de la cohésion du groupe, à savoir les catégories Forte et Faible cohésion. L’analyse qualitative des entrevues a permis de relever huit facteurs thérapeutiques dans le discours des participants. L’universalité, l’espoir et la compréhension de soi sont identifiés dans le discours des participants, peu importe le niveau de cohésion. L’analyse du discours des participants de la catégorie Forte cohésion révèle d’autres facteurs thérapeutiques non invoqués par les autres participants, soit : le partage d’information, l’altruisme, l’apprentissage interpersonnel, le développement d’habiletés sociales et la catharsis. Ainsi, une forte cohésion semble associée à une plus grande variété de facteurs thérapeutiques. Les résultats de la présente étude réitèrent l’importance d’une forte cohésion pour le développement des facteurs thérapeutiques en groupe et incidemment le rétablissement des membres.
Une méthode simple de relaxation : la répétition passive
Authors: Larroque Michel 
Published: July 2018

Les deux méthodes classiques de relaxation, le training autogène et la méthode de Jacobson, peuvent présenter des difficultés d’apprentissage. La répétition passive d’un mantra ouvre à tous un accès plus facile à la détente. Elle reprend, sans faire appel à l’hétérosuggestion, le processus générateur de l’hypnose. Ce procédé s’est d’abord incarné dans les diverses formes de prière ; mais on le retrouve aussi en dehors de la vie religieuse comme dans la méthode Coué ou la méditation transcendantale.
Joseph II Cellony (1730-1786) : l’Académie contre l’oubli
Authors: Rimaud Yohan 
Published: July 2018

La récente exposition du musée de Marseille a mis en évidence le rôle central de l’Académie dans la formation et la carrière des artistes, parfois au point d’en constituer la seule trace subsistante. C’est le cas de Joseph II Cellony (1730-1786), fils et petit-fils de portraitistes aixois, qui renonça à une carrière officielle après avoir échoué à se faire reconnaître en tant que peintre d’histoire. Ses peintures, non localisées, ne permettent hélas de se faire une idée de l’artiste ; il existe en revanche un groupe de dessins, la plupart à la plume, qui témoigne d’une main habile. Les deux sources que nous publions ici, la notice manuscrite rédigée par son frère Jean-Louis ainsi que les mentions des relations que Cellony entretint avec l’Académie de peinture et de sculpture de Marseille au début des années 1760, permettent de mieux comprendre la trajectoire de cet artiste gentilhomme ; à ces quelques points de repère biographiques, nous proposons de relier un premier corpus de dessins.

Des fleurs d’indiennes aux roses de Lyon, la production des manufactures provençales et la peinture de fleurs enseignée dans les académies
Authors: Gril-Mariotte Aziza 
Published: July 2018

Les indiennes évoquent des toiles de coton imprimées de motifs orientaux. Les échantillons conservés dans le Manuscrit de Richelieu montrent que les fabriques de toiles peintes marseillaises ont repris ce vocabulaire, entre la fin du xviie siècle et la première moitié du xviiie siècle, pendant la prohibition (1686-1759). La levée de la prohibition entraîne la délocalisation des manufactures dans le reste de la Provence, la plus célèbre est la manufacture d’Orange qui aurait employée des artistes formés dans les académies. Les rares étoffes conservées posent la question de leur rôle dans la création de motifs et le renouvellement artistique des toiles peintes. L’ouverture de l’Académie de peinture à Marseille en 1752 et de l’école de dessin à Lyon en 1756, a-t-elle contribuée à l’évolution stylistique des motifs ? À partir des sources, quelques étoffes conservées de la manufacture d’Orange comparées aux échantillons marseillais, nous donnerons plusieurs éléments de réponse.
Exploring the pregnant women’s perspective of late booking of antenatal care services at Mbekweni Health Centre in Eastern Cape, South Africa
Authors: Kaswa Ramprakash , Rupesinghe George F.D. , Longo-Mbenza Benjamin 
Published: July 2018

Background: Antenatal care (ANC) services are the gateway for integrated management of several conditions that adversely affect the mother and foetus. More stillbirths than neonatal deaths in South Africa are a reflection of poor quality ANC services. Aim: The primary aim of this study was to explore the reasons for late booking, and also to determine pregnant women’s knowledge, perceptions and attitude towards antenatal care services they receive in Mthatha area in Eastern Cape, South Africa. Setting: This was a qualitative study, conducted at Mbekweni Health Centre in the King Sabata Dalindyebo (KSD) subdistrict municipality of the Eastern Cape Province. Methods: This qualitative study consisted of selected pregnant women who presented after 19 weeks of gestation at Mbekweni Health Centre. Data were collected through two different methods, namely, semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions were used until saturation of the themes were reached. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and thematic analyses were undertaken. Results: Twenty women participated in the study. They were diverse in terms of age 18–41 years, gravidity 1–6 and time of ANC booking 20–28 weeks. The interviews identified a variety of personal, service and organisational reasons for late ANC booking. The themes identified for late ANC bookings were: health care system related issues, socio-economic factors, women’s perceptions and knowledge, and failure of family planning services. Conclusions: Women’s beliefs, knowledge and perceptions regarding antenatal services outweigh the perceived benefit of early ANC visit. The majority of women had lack of knowledge of contraception, early signs of pregnancy, purpose, timing and benefits of ANC visit.
A Basis Theorem for the Degenerate Affine Oriented Brauer–Clifford Supercategory
Authors: Brundan Jonathan , Comes Jonathan , Kujawa Jonathan Robert 
Published: July 2018

AbstractWe introduce the oriented Brauer–Clifford and degenerate affine oriented Brauer–Clifford supercategories. These are diagrammatically defined monoidal supercategories that provide combinatorial models for certain natural monoidal supercategories of supermodules and endosuperfunctors, respectively, for the Lie superalgebras of type Q. Our main results are basis theorems for these diagram supercategories. We also discuss connections and applications to the representation theory of the Lie superalgebra of type Q.
Spatial Structure in Chinese and Japanese Cities: A Comparative Study of the Supergrid and Superblock Structure

Title: Spatial Structure in Chinese and Japanese Cities: A Comparative Study of the Supergrid and Superblock StructureAuthor Name: Xiao Fei Chen Affiliation: Faculty of Architecture Design and Planning, The University of Sydney Address: The Wilkinson Bldg G04, 148 City Rd, Darlington NSW 2008 Email Address: xche3951@Sydney.edu.au Mobile: 61 (02) 0450875226 Keywords: Supergrid and Superblock, Urban Morphology, China and JapanAbstract:Supergrids and Superblocks form an urban structure that extends across large areas of many Chinese and Japanese cities. The grid structures consist of wide roads at a city scale and define Superblocks, each with a network of narrower streets. My paper investigates the form-function interrelationships of these structures from morphological perspectives against a backcloth of theory that stresses an integrated network of streets as the prerequisite for a convenient and synergetic environment, with a specific focus on road/street networks, and mix and distribution of functional activities. Both qualitative and quantitative methods (including space syntax) are used to investigate four Superblocks from two pairs of Chinese and Japanese cities: Xi’an and Kyoto, and Nanjing and Osaka, from three aspects: integration, connection and interaction. Here I focus on the Nanjing-Osaka pair and the findings demonstrate clear but divergent patterns between the two cities, which are indicative of general differences between Chinese and Japanese Superblocks: there are very strong interrelationships between the street network and distribution of activities in the Japanese Superblocks, but these are much less evident in the Chinese Superblocks and this results largely from the extensive Chinese cultural practice of building walls around compounds. It reveals some structural disadvantages, leading to congestion of traffic and functional activities in some strategic locations in Chinese Superblocks. It also highlights some crucial qualities in the structures of many Japanese Superblocks that can provide inspiration for China’s future urban development and possibly for cities in other parts of the world.Reference:Alexander, C.

The dual nature of land parcels: exploring the morphological and juridical definition of the term.
Authors: Bobkova Evgeniya , Marcus Lars , Berghauser Pont Meta 
Published: July 2018

The importance of the parcel (also referred to as ‘plot’ or ‘lot’) as one of the fundamental elements of urban form is well recognized within the field of urban morphology. It has been described as a basic element in the pattern of land divisions that works as an organizational grid for urban form. One of the distinctive features of the parcel is its dual character: it means both a legal unit defining property rights and a physical entity. In urban fabrics, these dimensions act together to drive the evolution of built space. In this paper, we will investigate the entanglements of the morphological and the legislative definitions of the term, with the aim to resolve these, we better can address and compare the vital layer of parcels in different urban contexts, by both identifying common properties of the notion parcels, and dealing with variations in its legal framework in different countries. What we aim to capture with such a comprehensive definition is the relation between urban form and generic functions, which mainly concerns the functions of occupation and movement, where the system of parcels can be identified as spaces that embed an affordance for occupancy in cities of most kinds. The intended outcome of the paper is to unveil the power of the dual nature of the parcel, bridging between spatial and non-spatial dimensions of cities, that is, more precisely, a potential to establish a stronger interface between urban design and planning practice.

A set of features are shared by traditional cities where dominated by Islam religion. The notion of “Islamic city”, often criticised for its Eurocentric nature, has guided most studies of these traditional cities. The modernisation process in so-called Islamic cities is crucial due to its serious impacts on the traditional morphology and transformation of their urban structure. We, thus, need more holistic and integrated understanding about changes of these cities derives from the modernisation process. In order to explore the broad and wide-spread changes due to modernisation process in the traditional cities in Muslim world, it is more enlightening if we study second order cities, rather than studying the transformations of major capitals such as Cairo, Istanbul or Teheran, where interventions are goal to approach a more exceptional and rhetorical characters. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to study the historic core of Kermanshah city, to understand the link between urban transformations and social due to modernisation process by tracing it historically. We will focus, particularly, on studying the stages of urban transformation and changes of urban morphology as well as conflict and differences between traditional urban features with the modern ones. For example, we are interested in understanding how traditional morphology and structure of residential and commercial zone are affected by the opening of new and wide boulevards in course of modernisation process, and how these changes influence everyday people life.

Energy Efficiency in the Urban Scale: Case Study – Prague, Czech Republic
Authors: Yunitsyna Anna , Shtepani Ernest 
Published: July 2018

Cities are a complex mass of morphological properties of many city fragments, which play a major role in energy consumption. Urban form, urban patterns, or city fragments can also be seen as defined by algorithms or form generators. Cities are designed taking into account infrastructure, city standards and land use regulations. Energy efficiency of the urban form may be understood as the balance between gains and losses of energy, which may depend on a set of parameters mostly defined by the geometrical shape of the buildings and the distance between them. The study starts from the development and analysis of 60 hypothetical models in order to evaluate their energy efficiency potential. The Galapagos Evolutionary Solver is used as a tool in order to find the set of parameters, which brings to the morphological properties the optimal combination of density and surface-to-volume ratio. At the final stage morphological properties of 64 Prague’s patterns were selected. Computer simulation and analysis is performed using the models extracted from the virtual Google Earth model of Prague. During the process of evaluation of the samples, the relationship between the urban form and such parameters as plot coverage, surface-to-volume ratio and the incident solar radiation was established and potentially higher energy efficient structures were indicated. As the result of analysis the interrelation between urban form and energy efficiency was established, which allowed to identify the urban patterns with the higher potential of energy efficiency.
Exploring Patterns of Socio-spatial Interaction in the Public Spaces of City through Big Data.
Authors: Iranmanesh Aminreza , Alpar Atun Resmiye 
Published: July 2018

Research on socio-spatial aspect of cities has never been so vibrant and exciting. The form of urban life is changing and evolving with new advancements in communication and technology. Digital communication and social media has reshaped the way people as the actors of society interact with each other and with the network of city. New social networks and widespread of mobile devises can be used to create and reinforce existing social ties. Mobile devises also change the role of citizens from consumers into producers of data; they are the new reporters, photographers, videographers of everyday life. This production creates large quantities of data known as the “Big Data”. Big data has opened up many doors for researchers to investigate new aspects of cities. This paper aims to explore how people access urban public spaces through social media by taking the parameter of distance and physical proximity into account. We tried to investigate if different levels of accessibility effects the way people interact with space through social media. Through this process the study explored different socio-spatial patterns in the city that are being affected by social media. The research data was collect in two layers of Nicosia in Northern Cyprus: first, the geo-tagged social media data was collected from the target group, and it was located on the map. Twitter as a microblogging medium was selected for data collection due to its public nature, geo-tagged abilities, and manageable short content. Second, degrees of accessibility in local and global scale were calculated using Space Syntax. The data was analyzed using regression analysis, scatter plot, and outlier detention. The result shows various patterns in correlation of interactions between society and space; it illustrates the importance of exploring the outliers when reading big data on the city. The result shows clear importance of local accessibility even when social media is the effective variable.
Valencia: the territorial structures of the Roman city substratum.

Keywords: Roman Valencia, substratum permanent structures, city planning, historical transformations Text abstract: The shape of the territory and the urban settlement of numerous Valencian cities were strongly conditioned by the original imprinting of Roman planning, characterized –as it is known- by large scale infrastructures, by settlements of orthogonal axes and by the allocation of the plot division into square modular divisions called centuriae. All the later interventions took necessarily into account such structures, which underwent numerous transformations over time, especially from the second half of the twentieth century. Then innovations and developments in modern technology contributed –more than in any other period– to neglect and override the traces of the original configuration. Territorial and urban research into Roman structures in the Italian peninsula has allowed the recognition of a sufficiently large number of plans, thus allowing the development of a complete general research method to read analogous structures in different Romanized territories. The authors now propose to apply this method to the territory of the Valencian Community. The rectilinear outline of Via Augusta with its forking side paths, the orthogonal signs of the agrarian fabric, the military milestones and the administrative divisions suggest, also in this case, the possibility of retracing the original pattern. Its structure could contribute, among other things, to explain the logic of the expansions outside the walls of the historic centre of Valencia that might otherwise seem arbitrary and meaningless.
