Extrafiscalidade e ações afirmativas – Diálogos entre teoria constitucional tributária e finanças públicas
Authors: Gomes Ana Paula de Oliveira 
Published: September 2018

Pode a tributação ser compreendida como “instrumento” de inclusão social do terceiro milênio? Eis a questão orientadora do presente estudo. Acredita-se que extrafiscalidade, se utilizada adequadamente, contribui para efetivação dos direitos fundamentais. Investigar-se-á o assunto a partir das relações existentes entre a teoria geral das finanças públicas e o direito tributário. Conclui-se que a utilização das ações afirmativas fiscais representa uma forma de resposta à problemática que envolve a concretização dos direitos fundamentais. Trata-se de estudo eminentemente bibliográfico e relacional. Justifica-se a pesquisa pela atualidade e transdisciplinaridade do assunto.
O papel dos Tribunais de Contas na atual conjuntura política e econômica do país: uma questão de cidadania
Authors: Cusciano Dalton Tria 
Published: September 2018

A importância do Tribunal de Contas reside no seu papel de controle da administração pública e de sua imagem como verdadeiro guardião do dinheiro público, que por ser público é de todos, pressuposto este usualmente ignorado pela coletividade.Todavia, sua tarefa de guardião é desafiada cotidianamente, por gastos de duvidosa qualidade ou necessidade realizados por agentes da máquina estatal que utilizam nosso dinheiro como meio exclusivamente político, de questionável benefício ao interesse público. Logo, enquanto todos deveriam interessar-se pelos gastos do Estado, poucos o fazem, transformando sua atuação em um Álamo, que resiste bravamente, esperando diariamente o reforço de cidadãos para auxiliarem em uma fiscalização que vise a efetiva gestão responsável e justa da coisa pública. Por fim, devemos ter em mente que não cabe somente ao Tribunal de Contas o combate e a prevenção do uso equivocado da máquina estatal, e sim principalmente a nós, cidadãos.

Abstract
We compare updated Torino postprocessing asymptotic giant branch (AGB) nucleosynthesis model calculations with isotopic compositions of mainstream SiC dust grains from low-mass AGB stars. Based on the data-model comparison, we provide new constraints on the major neutron source, 13C(α, n)16O in the He-intershell, for the s-process. We show that the literature Ni, Sr, and Ba grain data can only be consistently explained by the Torino model calculations that adopt the recently proposed magnetic-buoyancy-induced 13C-pocket. This observation provides strong support to the suggestion of deep mixing of H into the He-intershell at low 13C concentrations as a result of efficient transport of H through magnetic tubes.
Photosynthesis on a Planet Orbiting an M Dwarf: Enhanced Effectiveness during Flares
Authors: Mullan D. J. , Bais H. P. 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
On planets near M dwarfs, oxygenic photosynthesis (PS) will occur with an effectiveness that depends on the supply of visible photons with wavelengths between 400 and 700 nm. In this paper, we quantify the effectiveness of PS in two contexts that are relevant for M dwarfs. First, using photons from an M dwarf in its quiescent (nonflaring) state, we find that PS on an M dwarf planet in the habitable zone (HZ) of its parent star is less effective than on Earth by a factor of 10 for a flare star with mid-M spectral type. For a flare star with late-M spectral type, PS effectiveness (PSE) is smaller than on Earth by a factor of 100 or more. Second, using photons that are incident on the HZ planet during flares, we find that PSE can increase by factors of 5–20 above the quiescent values. In the case of a flare star with mid-M spectral type, we find that the PSE during a flare can increase up to as much as 50%–60% of the values on Earth. However, for a late-M flare star, even during flares, the PSE remains almost one order of magnitude smaller than on Earth. We suggest that for biological processes on M dwarf planets, the stellar activity cycle may replace the orbital period as the “year.”
Fostering viability and sustainability of small and medium enterprises: Determining the true beneficiaries of university research output
Authors: Nani Gwendoline V. 
Published: September 2018

Orientation: The focus of this study was dissemination of university research output to small and medium enterprises.Research purpose: This study sought to determine the true beneficiaries of research output.Motivation of the study: Situations occur where research was conducted, but the purported beneficiaries did not receive feedback.Research design, approach and method: A case survey approach involving 80 lecturers from the Faculty of Commerce of one public university in Zimbabwe was utilised. Semi-structured questionnaires were used to elicit responses from academic researchers. Analysis of quantitative data was done through frequencies, percentages, cross tabulations and Pearson chi-square tests. Qualitative data were analysed thematically.Main findings: The findings revealed that only 36.92% had conducted studies on small and medium enterprises (SMEs), while the remaining 63.08% had conducted other studies not related to SMEs. Out of the 36.92% of the respondents who had conducted studies on SMEs, 41.67% had not disseminated their results to the targeted beneficiaries. The study concluded that dissemination of research output for practical use seemed not to be a priority for some academic researchers. Non-distribution of results by academics indicated underlying challenges.Practical/managerial implications: The study recommended that researchers should be reminded of the importance of conveying their findings for practical use and responsible authorities should encourage the dissemination of research output through the provision of incentives and support systems.Contribution/value-add: The study identified a dearth of research on who benefits if research studies are conducted on SMEs but the results are not disseminated to them and thus attempted to address this gap.
Pipes to Earth's subsurface: the role of atmospheric conditions in controlling air transport through boreholes and shafts
Authors: Levintal Elad , Lensky Nadav G. , Mushkin Amit , Weisbrod Noam 
Published: September 2018

Abstract. Understanding air exchange dynamics between underground
cavities (e.g., caves, mines, boreholes, etc.) and the atmosphere is
significant for the exploration of gas transport across the
Earth–atmosphere interface. Here, we investigated the role of atmospheric
conditions in controlling air transport inside boreholes using in situ field
measurements. Three geometries were explored: (1) a narrow and deep shaft
(0.1 m wide and 27 m deep), ending in a large underground cavity; (2) the same
shaft after the pipe was lowered and separated from the cavity; and (3) a deep
large-diameter borehole (59 m deep and 3.4 m wide). Absolute humidity was found to be a
reliable proxy for distinguishing between atmospheric and cavity air masses
(mainly during the winter and spring seasons) and thus to explore air transport
through the three geometries. Airflow directions in the first two
narrow-diameter geometries were found to be driven by changes in barometric
pressure, whereas airflow in the large-diameter geometry was correlated
primarily with the diurnal cycles of ambient atmospheric temperature. CO2
concentrations of ∼2000 ppm were found in all three
geometries, indicating that airflow from the Earth's subsurface into the
atmosphere may also be significant in the investigation of greenhouse gas emissions.
Assessment of hydrological pathways in East African montane catchments under different land use

Published: September 2018

Abstract. Conversion of natural forest (NF) to other land uses could lead to significant
changes in catchment hydrology, but the nature of these changes has been
insufficiently investigated in tropical montane catchments, especially in
Africa. To address this knowledge gap, we aimed to identify stream water
(RV) sources and flow paths in three tropical montane sub-catchments (27–36 km2)
with different land use (natural forest, NF; smallholder agriculture,
SHA; and commercial tea and tree plantations, TTP) within a 1021 km2 catchment
in the Mau Forest complex, Kenya. Weekly samples were collected from stream
water, precipitation (PC) and mobile soil water for 75 weeks and analysed for
stable isotopes of water (δ2H and δ18O) for mean transit
time (MTT) estimation with two lumped parameter models (gamma model, GM; and exponential
piston flow model, EPM) and for the calculation of the young water fraction.
Weekly samples from stream water and potential endmembers were collected
over a period of 55 weeks and analysed for Li, Na, Mg, K, Rb, Sr and Ba for
endmember mixing analysis (EMMA). Solute concentrations in precipitation were lower
than in stream water in all catchments (p < 0.05), whereas
concentrations in springs, shallow wells and wetlands were generally more
similar to stream water. The stream water isotope signal was considerably
damped compared to the isotope signal in precipitation. Mean transit time
analysis suggested long transit times for stream water (up to 4 years) in the
three sub-catchments, but model efficiencies were very low. The young water
fraction ranged from 13 % in the smallholder agriculture sub-catchment to
15 % in the tea plantation sub-catchment. Mean transit times of mobile
soil water ranged from 3.2–3.3 weeks in forest soils and 4.5–7.9 weeks in
pasture soils at 15 cm depth to 10.4–10.8 weeks in pasture soils at 50 cm
depth. The contribution of springs and wetlands to stream discharge increased
from a median of 16.5 (95 % confidence interval: 11.3–22.9), 2.1
(−3.0–24.2) and 50.2 (30.5–65.5) % during low flow to 20.7
(15.2–34.7), 53.0 (23.0–91.3) and 69.4 (43.0–123.9) % during high flow
in the natural forest, smallholder agriculture and tea plantation
sub-catchments, respectively. Our results indicate that groundwater is an
important component of stream water, irrespective of land use. The results
further suggest that the selected transit time models and tracers might not
be appropriate in tropical catchments with highly damped stream water isotope
signatures. A more in-depth investigation of the discharge dependence of the
young water fraction and transit time estimation using other tracers, such as
tritium, could therefore shed more light on potential land use effects on the
hydrological behaviour of tropical montane catchments.

Published: September 2018

The aim of this study was to evaluate chosen physicochemical and sensory properties of soft cheeses with addition of chilli peppers Fatalii. These samples were packed into plastic vacuum packages and analysed during 14 days of storage at cooling temperature (6 ±1 °C). Within the physicochemical properties, dry matter content, fat content, moisture in fat-free-substance, fat in dry matter and pH values were determined. Physicochemical analyzes, except pH value measure, were carried out only on the 1th day following the cheeses production. Textural properties hardness and stickiness were measured by the texture analyser. Within the sensory properties, consistency (hard, spreadable and friable) and taste (salty and spicy) were evaluated. Measurements of pH value, textural and sensory analysis were carried out on the 1st, 7th and 14th day of storage. All of cheese samples were classified as full-fat (FDM 48.21%) soft (MFFS 71.92%) cheeses. Their pH values decreased during 14 days of storage. The hardness of cheese samples decreased (p ˂0.05), while their stickiness statistic significantly increased during storage. From the view of sensory evaluation, the hard consistency of cheeses statistic significantly decreased and the spreadable consistency increased (p ˂0.05) during storage. The changes of friable consistency were no statistic significant. During storage of cheese samples were observed statistic significantly increase in the spicy taste and statistic significantly decrease in the salty taste.
“Nya Anghuwa Che” (Our Food Gives Us Life): Exploring Indigenous Perspectives on Traditional Food Gathering and Foraging in an Irigwe Community from Nigeria
Authors: Oloko Majing , Shukla Shailesh 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
This article is based on a community-based case study of the Indigenous food system of the Irigwe people of north-central Nigeria, a farming community known for its tradition of gathering wild food. We explore the Irigwe's perspective on their food system through participatory research tools, including oral history interviews with thirty indigenous food-knowledge experts and elders. We document the cultural meanings of food within their Indigenous food system and their relationship to Indigenous food-production practices such as food foraging. Because the Irigwe people perceive their indigenous food systems and knowledge as holistic, many wild foods—such as Gbangri (Grewia mollis), which is used in a traditional soup—are eaten with claims of medicinal potency. Foraging trips are significant for gathering food, intergenerational teaching, and socialization. Despite environmental and social challenges, the community has maintained its unique Indigenous food system through transmission of values, such as reciprocity and traditional dispute resolution.
CAARI at Forty: Celebrating a Place for Collaboration on Cyprus
Authors: Crewe Lindy 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The Cyprus American Archaeological Research Institute (CAARI) celebrates the 40th anniversary of its foundation in 2018. CAARI is the youngest of the U.S. Overseas Research Centers (ORCs) affiliated to ASOR, and one of the more recently established in the Near East and the Mediterranean. Over the past 40 years, CAARI has cemented its place in the cultural and heritage landscape of Cyprus, creating a space in which U.S. students and scholars share research and build friendships with Cypriot colleagues and those from around the world. Facilitated by our location in the center of the eastern Mediterranean region, CAARI on Cyprus has become a hub in which connections are made and international dialogue is fostered. This occurs despite the difficulties caused by the continued division of the island to the people of Cyprus, and to the preservation and interpretation of the island's heritage.

The purpose of our project was to explore the explicit or implicit engagement of faculty members across the curriculum in teaching the entrepreneurial mindset. We begin by defining entrepreneurship on a spectrum, recognizing the contextual nature and psychological development associated with entrepreneurial thinking. We developed a self-report survey containing a combination of quantitative and qualitative items to determine faculty member knowledge of entrepreneurship and their engagement in teaching elements of the entrepreneurial mindset. We surveyed the faculty at a primarily teaching university in the western United States. Sixty-four faculty members (~20%) with representation from across the disciplines completed our survey. We found constrained knowledge of entrepreneurship, indications of teaching elements of the entrepreneurial mindset, and approaches to assignments that were limited in scope for fostering entrepreneurial thinking. The implications of our research are a need for professional development to enhance faculty members’ knowledge of entrepreneurial thinking and support for instructional and content choices that could enhance student development of an entrepreneurial mindset.
