Abstract
The article describes occurrence and distribution of Eustrongylides trematodes in fish in the waters of the Dnipro-Buh estuary and the delta of Dnipro River in Mykolaiv and Kherson Region. Study was conducted in 2015–2016. This parasite was found in natural water reservoirs in Mykolaiv and Kherson region in following fish species: Sander lucioperca (Linnaeus, 1758), Perca fluviatilis (Linnaeus, 1758) and Esox lucius (Linnaeus, 1758). Ichtyopathological investigation of 346 fishes was conducted. Parasites were observed in abdominal cavity, muscle tissue, wall of gastro-intestinal tract, gonads and hepatopancreas. P. fluviatilis was the most affected species, prevalence of infection was 85.1 %. Less infected were S. lucioperca and E. lucius, with the prevalence of infection 58.1 % and 58.9 % respectively. Mean prevalence of infection of predatory fish in studied reservoirs was 70.5 %. The intensity of infection was the highest in perch (1–14 nematodes per fish). The lowest intensity of infection was found in pike-perch (1–9 nematodes per fish).
Cytology of the Pituitary Gonadotrophs, Histological Characteristics of Interrenal and Chromaffin Cells in Relation to Testicular Activities in Mystus Vittatus (Siluriformes, Bagridae) During Growth, Maturation and Spawning Phases
Authors: Banerjee M. , Ghosh S. , Chakrabarti P. 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
The histological changes observed in the pituitary corticotrophs, gonadotrophs, adrenocortical tissues and testicular cells in M. vittatus (Bloch, 1794) have been studies during growth, maturation and spawning phases. The studies based on the changes observed in the cell types, shape and size of the cells of the adrenocortical tissues, testes and the overall percentage of gonadotroph (GTH) and thyrotroph (TSH) cells of the pituitary. However, during growth phase, in proximal pars distalis (PPD) the considerable increment of GTH and TSH have been observed having intense aniline blue stain. The corticotrophs (ACTH) also showed significant accumulation of fuchsinophilic cytoplasmic granules. The cytoplasmic features and the architecture of the interrenal cells were well coincident with the increase of different spermatogenic cells. During the maturation phase dense granulation in the GTH and TSH cells appeared to be concomitant with the spermiation. The amount of cytoplasmic granules of the interrenal cells increased than chromaffin cells and was well coincidence with the increase of spermatids and spermatozoa. The hyperactive and vacuolated features of the interrenal cells during spawning phase appeared to be concomitant with the final process of spermiation.
Trample damage of stone flakes as an index of occupation intensity: a case study from Magnificent Gallery
Authors: Jung Silvano 
Published: May 2018

A comparative index of trampling intensity was used in the analysis of the stone artefact assemblage at Magnificent Gallery (southeast Cape York Peninsula, Northern Queensland), to take into account the inter-related processes of flake breakage and sedimentation.Â This demonstrated a late decrease in the proportion of broken flakes, which largely reflected associated increases in sedimentation rates, rather than decreased occupational intensity.Â The analysis took into account the inverse relationship between sedimentation rate and frequency of flake breakage.Â the results indicate that people may have visited the site more frequently and/or for longer periods in the past 1,000 years.
Antiquity of marine fishing in South-east Queensland
Authors: Walters Ian 
Published: May 2018

The Moreton Region Archaeology Project has investigated coastal sites in South-east Queensland since the late 1970s.Â Despite Pleistocene occupation in the area adjacent to the then coastline, and more recent coastal settlement dating to the later Middle Holocene, evidence of a well developed marine fishery dates only to the most recent 2,000 years.Â According to the data presently available, this does not appear to relate to taphonomic factors.
Sand traps for the unwary - problems in the interpretation of sedimentological analyses
Authors: Webb Esmee 
Published: May 2018

The principles of sedimentology are briefly described.Â Four recently published archaeological reports containing sedimentological analyses are critically reviewed and it is suggested that they could all have been improved if the archaeologists who undertook them had discussed their investigations with a sedimentologist before beginning laboratory work.Â Finally, reference is made for comparative purposes to some sedimentological work recently undertaken in Western Australia and a plea is entered that archaeologists familiarise themselves with the full range of sedimentological techniques before undertaking their own analyses.

Refractory Ulnar Nerve Symptoms in an Adolescent Pitcher With Medial Apophysitis
Authors: Hellem Aaron R. , Jelsing Elena J. , Hurd Wendy J. 
Published: May 2018

A 16-year-old high school baseball pitcher with a 3-week history of acute-onset pain in his medial elbow during throwing presented to physical therapy. Following examination, physical therapy was initiated and the patient was referred for imaging, with suspicion of ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injury. Radiographs were noncontributory. Ultrasound imaging, however, was performed by a physiatrist and was suggestive of a partial-thickness tear of the UCL and ulnar nerve enlargement. The physiatrist ordered magnetic resonance imaging, which confirmed a medial apophyseal stress reaction, a mild UCL sprain, and reactive ulnar nerve edema.

Do Second-Time Users of Topical Imiquimod have a More Rapid Onset of Clinical Response?
Authors: McMurray Stacy L , Reynolds Matthew , Dinehart Matthew S , Dinehart Scott M 
Published: May 2018

Introduction: Topical imiquimod is commonly used in dermatology for treatment of actinic keratoses (AK). Prior studies in humans and mice have suggested the potential for immune recall with imiquimod based on higher degrees of AK clearance and activation of memory γδ T-cells in a mouse model. Anecdotal reports suggest a more rapid time-to-onset of clinical response with second time use of imiquimod. However, the potential for immune recall demonstrated by time-to-onset of clinical response has not been formally investigated.Objective: The primary objective of this study was to determine if there is a difference in time-to-onset of clinical response between naïve and prior users of topical imiquimod for the treatment of actinic keratoses.Methods: A total of 92 patients were treated with 5% imiquimod cream for actinic keratoses of the head and neck. Patients were instructed to apply 5% imiquimod cream to the affected areas once daily until reaching a therapeutic endpoint of crusting/scabbing. The primary endpoints in the study were time (days) to onset of erythema and time to onset of crusting/scabbing. Results were self-reported.Results: The average time (days) to onset of erythema was 5.48 ± 3.19 days in naïve users and 4.7 ± 2.91 days in prior users (p= 0.22). Average time to onset of crusting/scabbing was 9.2 ± 4.34 days in naïve users and 9.02 ± 3.65 days in prior users (p=0.35).Conclusion: Our study revealed there is no difference in time-to-onset of erythema or scabbing/crusting with second-time use of imiquimod. While immune recall may be possible with use of imiquimod, the results of this study indicate that it may be independent of time-to-onset of clinical response.
La función registral y la sentencia que juzgó una anotación en el registro
Authors: Molina Walteros Sara Marlén 
Published: May 2018

Para cumplir los fines estatales es necesario no solo la tridivisión del poder sino el reparto de competencias y funciones entre sus diferentes ramas. El legislativo legisla, el ejecutivo ejecuta y el judicial interpreta y aplica la ley. Así se evita la invasión en competencias ajenas y el desbordamiento o exceso de poder, que fácilmente pueden conducir a la anarquía cuando se actúa a espaldas de la ley, entendida esta en sentido amplio2 de derechos protegidos y de normativa para disponer de ellos se realiza. En este trabajo el análisis crítico racional normativo de una sentencia, proferida en la jurisdicción contencioso administrativa, y bajo un esquema integracionista se emite una estudiada opinión sobre los actos administrativos expedidos por el Registrador de instrumentos públicos, quien desbordando sus funciones y so pretexto de “interpretación”, transfirió el dominio de un bien inmueble a un municipio mediante una “anotación registral” que llamó “cesión de bienes obligatoria”.
The Coming Revolution of Peer Production and Revolutionary Cooperatives. A Response to Michel Bauwens, Vasilis Kostakis and Stefan Meretz
Authors: Rigi Jakob 
Published: May 2018

This article agrees with Meretz (2014) that the peer producing cooperatives which are proposed by Bauwens & Kostakis (2014) will become parts and parcels of the capitalist economy. Further, it argues that the so called Peer Production Licenses (PPL), originally designed by Dmitry Kleiner (2010), which is the basis of their proposal is a rent seeking instrument. Contra Bauwens & Kostakis, it argues that, from the perspectives of both reform and revolution, GPL is profoundly anti-capitalist. The article critiques Meretz`s understanding of exchange and reciprocity, on the one hand, and his underestimation of GPL`s communist aspect, on the other. On the positive side, the article, explicating the communist nature of GPL-oriented peer production, speculates about the general contours of a society where peer production is the dominant mode of production. The technological basis of this society, the article suggests, will be digital copying and automation. Spatially, it will be based on localities that transcend the current division between the city and country, synthesising agriculture with industrial, affective and symbolic production. The rise of a globally unified revolutionary social struggle which adopts peer production as its platform is indispensible for the transformation of capitalism into such a society. A global network of revolutionary peer producing cooperatives which break with market and reduce their relations to it to an absolutely unavoidable necessary minimum can be a significant component of this social struggle. The building of these revolutionary cooperatives requires a massive exodus from the city to the country.
Communicating Protest Movements: The Case of Occupy
Authors: Kavada Anastasia 
Published: May 2018

How do you communicate a protest movement? And how do communication practices shape its character and power relations? Based on a view of communication as constitutive of protest movements, this talk considers these questions as two sides of the same coin. The focus lies on the Occupy movement and particularly on its use of digital media. Characterised by a belief in direct participation and a rejection of central leadership, Occupy emerged through a bottom-up process of organizing that spanned different platforms and physical places, from Facebook pages to public squares. The process of constructing the collective involved the creation of communication sites and foundational texts, and their interlinking. This process was influenced by the rules, affordances and proprietary character of media platforms and physical spaces, as well as the diverse cultures and strategies of the activists using them. A closer look at this process sheds light on the power relations within the movement and particularly on five sources of communication power. These range from the power to create communication sites and texts to the power to access or link them together. The picture that emerges is complex, revealing a movement with both centralizing and decentralizing dynamics. Ultimately, it was the balance between these opposing dynamics that determined both the emergence of the movement and its decline.Acknowledgement: This contribution is the podcast of a talk Anastasia Kavada gave in the Communication and Media Research Institute (CAMRI)'s Research Seminar Series on February 25, 2015, at the University of Westminster.
Workplace Suicide and States of Denial: The France Telecom and Foxconn Cases Compared
Authors: Waters Sarah 
Published: May 2018

Workplace suicides are sharply on the rise and reflect a generalised deterioration in working conditions across the globalised economy. Despite their growing prevalence, workplace suicides are subject to specific modes of repression that tend to keep them hidden from public view. Suicides and their social recognition threaten the vested interests of corporate and political elites by giving material embodiment to relations of production in the form of extreme human suffering. This article focuses on 'suicide waves' at two distant corporations in the information and communications sector: in France, the telecoms provider, France Télécom (rebranded Orange in 2013) and in China, electronics supplier, Foxconn. Drawing on Stanley Cohen's notion of 'states of denial', the article examines the tactics used by corporate and political elites in an effort to keep the suicides concealed. These include discourses that denied the suicides, individualised their causes and repressive tactics intended to control information and impede investigations. Recognising workplace suicides and the forms of repression that seek to occlude them, is crucial if we are to confront the profound human costs of a new international division of digital labour on lived experiences of work.
Social Reproduction in the Live Stream
Authors: Thorburn Elise 
Published: May 2018

In the most recent wave of struggles a changed logic of activism is evident (Dyer-Witheford, 2015). Research on this wave has often emphasised the interactions of the digital (through online forms of activism, communication, and coordination) with the embodied (in assemblies, spatial occupations, and face-to-face encounters) (Gerbaudo, 2012). Although gender has been considered in regard to these struggles (Herrera, 2014) feminist concerns over social reproduction – concerns which have also been central to the contemporary epoch of struggle (Brown, et al, 2013) – have been largely neglected. Social reproduction refers to the capacities of populations to reproduce themselves and through this to reproduce the material basis of the economy (Bezanson and Luxton, 2006; Federici, 2012). It is a site wherein human beings and capital compete for the reproduction of living bodies, and contemporary social movements have become ground zero for such socially reproductive contestations (Thorburn, 2015). Within contemporary movements, struggles over social reproduction are increasingly channelled through digital networks as well as embodied practices. This digital-embodied convergence opens up strengths and weaknesses in the contemporary epoch of social/political contestation. In this paper I seek to explicate how alternative feminist modes of social reproduction emerge through digital networks in contemporary social movements and compare this digital social reproduction to more embodied forms also witnessed. Using a case study of Concordia University Television’s live streaming of Quebec’s 2012 student strike, as well as the live streaming initiatives in the anti-police brutality protests in Ferguson and Baltimore 2015, this paper will suggest future horizons of digital and embodied activism around social reproduction focused on media forms within social movements. Based on ethnographic research, including participant observation and interviews, I argue that the practices and projects of live streaming can expand forms of social reproduction autonomous from both the state and capital. The digital practices of social reproduction emerging in contemporary struggles can contribute to circumventing power while at the same time constituting sites of resistance within and beyond social and political contestations.
Socio-epistemic analysis of scientific knowledge production in little science research
Authors: Pepe Alberto 
Published: May 2018

The processes that drive knowledge production and dissemination in scientific environments are embedded within the social, technical, cultural and epistemic practices of the constituent research communities. This article presents a methodology to unpack specific social and epistemic dimensions of scientific knowledge production using, as a case study, the Center for Embedded Networked Sensing (CENS), a National Science Foundation “little science” research center involved in theoretical and applied work in the field of wireless communication and sensor networks. By analysis of its scholarly record, I construct a social network of coauthorship, linking individuals that have coauthored scholarly artifacts (journal articles and conference papers), and an epistemic network of topic co-occurrence, linking concepts and knowledge constructs in the same scholarly artifacts. This article reports on ongoing work directed at the study of the emergence and evolution of these networks of scientific interaction. I present some preliminary results and introduce a socio-epistemic method for an historical analysis of network co-evolution. I outline a research design to support further investigations of knowledge production in scientific circles.
Latin America’s information technologies: promises and realities
Authors: Mastromatteo Estela 
Published: May 2018

This contribution emphasizes that in order to achieve a real and sustainable human development in Latin America, and for this region to be part of the information society is extremely important to create conditions for a free access to information, education for everyone and permanently, and a development in science and technology destined to serve society. Access to information and information technology are major promises in this era, but at the same time, become new forms of exclusion. In Latin America the two realities coexist. Is crucial in the solution, to rethink the ethics of information and values that underlie it, respect for human rights, the commitment of societies and our leaders. Highlights the role of libraries as mediators in the production process, organization and retrieval of information access, in safeguarding the freedom of information and the right to free expression through technology, with ethics and values into a real development in Latin America.
The Convergence Theory on ICT, Society and Human Beings – towards the Good ICT society
Authors: Bradley Gunilla 
Published: May 2018

The convergence model illustrates ongoing changes in the Net Society. However the theoretical model goes back and synthesises the theoretical framework in research on psychosocial work environment and computerization. Interdisciplinary research programs were initiated by the author in the 70th and then analyzed changes in society related to various periods in “the history” of ICT. The description of the convergence model is structured with reference to the concepts Globalization, ICT, Life Environment, Life Role, Effects on Humans. Both Convergence and Interactions are important features in the model. There are four levels of analysis – individual, organisational, community, and societal.
Book Review: Signs of Science - Linguistics meets Biology
Authors: Prinz Robert 
Published: May 2018

„Biosemiotics“ is an integrative and interdisciplinary research effort that investigates living systems with concepts borrowed from linguistics and the communication sciences. Life is seen as an entanglement of communicative processes relating entities with each other by defined rules. Those “rules” are the very heart of (bio)semiotic analysis. A hallmark of life is the existence of rules that are very different from natural laws. We can find such rules embedded in the genetic code, for example, where a transfer RNA relates a codon in mRNA to an amino acid. Nevertheless, it could have evolved in another way as well as genetic code engineering shows. Apparently arbitrary relationships are inherent to all levels of biological organization: from cells to organisms. Parts are connected in ways that can hardly be inferred from physical (thermodynamic) principles and still await reconciliation in a reasonable manner.
