Core Ideas
Saturation changes can be monitored with ambient seismic noise.
We present a new and nondestructive tool to investigate deep and heterogeneous vadose zones.
At the site scale, this tool fills the gap between local boreholes and global basin information.
Different geophysical datasets can be assimilated for hydrological model calibration.
On a heterogeneous karstic site in the Larzac plateau (France), we performed cross‐correlations of ambient seismic noise recorded at two broadband seismometers to obtain daily seismic velocity changes. Rayleigh velocity changes at the 6‐ to 8‐Hz frequency band show variations of ±0.2% over 1 yr. Assuming a simple velocity profile, changes are expected to come from depths of tens of meters. Therefore velocity changes at 6 to 8 Hz were interpreted as induced by water saturation changes. A slow infiltration rate would explain the delay of several months between the rainy season (November) and the minimum velocity (June). Superconducting gravimeter, evapotranspiration, and magnetic resonance sounding (MRS) measurements were then combined with seismic data in one‐dimensional physical simulations. Velocity changes clearly constrain hydrological parameters, like saturated hydraulic conductivity, even if the Biot–Gassmann theory does not explain all of the amplitude observed. Nevertheless, this nondestructive method demonstrates great potential in hydrological model calibration. It overcomes the lack of depth resolution of gravimetry and the lack of temporal resolution of MRS. The combination of ambient seismic noise with gravimetry and MRS could fill the instrumental gap currently existing in hydrology for the study of deep and/or complex critical zones.
Stolica Apostolska w polskiej polityce zagranicznej na uchodźstwie (Wrzesień 1939 – czerwiec 1940)

The Holy See In Polish Foreign Policy of the Government on exile (September 1939 — June 1940) The article is devoted to the reexamining of the policy of Polish Government on exile toward the Holy See after Poland’s defeat in September 1939 and the reestablishment of the legal authorities of Poland in France, under President Raczkiewicz and General Sikorski as Prime Minister. Terminus ad quem of the narration is the collapse of France and transfer of the Government of Poland to London in June 1940. Problems of Vatican’s perception of Polish Question is discussed on the basis of Polish archival documents, especially those of Polish Embassy to the Holy See. Vatican-Polish relations at the beginning of the World War II require special attention because the last treatment of this highly debatable problem was made in historiography by Zofia Waszkiewicz more than thirty five years ago in her monograph Polityka Watykanu wobec Polski 1939–1945 [Policy of the Vatican toward Poland 1939—1945] (Warsaw 1980). How much Polish diplomacy achieved fighting for the Holy See’s support against Nazi Germany? Two things must be said. Firstly, the Holy See recognized the legal continuity of Polish State after the German-Soviet occupation of Poland’s territory in September 1939, but did not sent the papal nuncio to Angers, when Polish Government resided. Secondly, Polish thesis on the special significance of Polish Question as the test-case of international justice received the positive response of the Pope Pius XII in his encyclical Summi Pontificatus published on October 20 1939, but the guidelines of Vatican’s policy were based on the doctrine of strict neutrality of the Papacy in the international relations. It did not permit for Papal condemnation ex officio of the Nazi crimes and criminal policy of extermination in Poland.

Published: May 2018

Aim:
To compare adherence, healthcare utilization and costs among real world, Medicare-eligible patients with schizophrenia using long-acting injectable paliperidone palmitate (PP) versus oral atypical antipsychotics.
Patients & methods:
Historical cohort study used Medicare Advantage claims data. Inverse probability of treatment weighting was applied to adjust for baseline differences. 12-month adherence, healthcare utilization and costs were compared.
Results:
Patients using PP were more adherent (proportion of days covered ≥0.8; 48.1 vs 32.6%; p < 0.001), had lower odds of hospitalization (odds ratio [OR]: 0.81; 95% CI: 0.68–0.96) and lower medical costs ($11,095; 95% CI: $10,374–11,867 vs $15,551; 95% CI: $14,584–16,583), but higher pharmacy costs ($14,787; 95% CI: $14,117–15,488 vs $5781; 95% CI: $5530–6043).
Conclusion:
Compared with patients using oral atypical antipsychotics, PP had lower hospitalizations and medical costs with greater medication adherence accompanied by higher pharmacy costs.
El cuerpo y los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria: los imaginarios sociales del cuerpo de los profesionales de la salud
Authors: Labora González Juan Jose 
Published: May 2018

Se exponen los resultados de una investigación cualitativa mediante entrevistas en profundidad sobre la percepción del cuerpo que tienen los/las profesionales del Trabajo Social y de la Psicología de las cuatro provincias de la comunidad autónoma de Galicia, que hayan trabajado tanto en el sector público como privado, como elemento que puede influir en los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria. Las entrevistas han sido realizadas a lo largo de los dos últimos años. Esta percepción ha sido analizada como un elemento que influye en los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria. Esta investigación llega a tres conclusiones principales: Primera, el cuerpo es considerado por los profesionales como un instrumento para detener el tiempo cuando surgen problemas con la identidad personal, en especial cuando la paciente es una mujer. Segundo, los/las profesionales perciben cuerpo de sus pacientes como una responsabilidad en abierto conflicto con las percepciones sociales vistas como algo irrealizable, ideales y sometidas a parámetros inalcanzables. Finalmente, la percepción del cuerpo se orienta por imaginarios sociales en los cuales la moral (tabú y pecado) y lo biológico son claramente predominantes.

Abstract
Ship motion in the sea is a complex nonlinear kinematics. The hydrodynamic coefficients of ship model are very difficult to accurately determine. Establishing accurate mathematical model of ship motion is difficult because of changing random factors in the marine environment. Aiming at seeking a method of control to realize ship positioning, intelligent control algorithms are adopt utilizing operator's experience. Fuzzy controller and the neural network controller are respectively designed. Through simulations and experiments, intelligent control algorithm can deal with the complex nonlinear motion, and has good robustness. The ship dynamic positioning system with neural network control has high positioning accuracy and performance.
Adaptive sliding mode formation control of multiple underwater robots

Published: May 2018

Abstract
This paper proposes a new adaptive sliding mode control scheme for achieving coordinated motion control of a group of autonomous underwater vehicles with variable added mass. The control law considers the communication constraints in the acoustic medium. A common reference frame for velocity is assigned to a virtual leader dynamically. The performances of the proposed adaptive SMC were compared with that of a passivity based controller. To save the time and traveling distance for reaching the FRP by the follower AUVs, a sliding mode controller is proposed in this paper that drives the state trajectory of the AUV into a switching surface in the state space. It is observed from the obtained results that the proposed SMC provides improved performance in terms of accurately tracking the desired trajectory within less time compared to the passivity based controller. A communication consensus is designed ensuring the transfer of information among the AUVs so that they move collectively as a group. The stability of the overall closed-loop systems are analysed using Lyapunov theory and simulation results confirmed the robustness and efficiency of proposed controller.
The Influence of Macrostructure of Nickelbased Superalloys IN713C and MAR 247 on the Characteristics of High-temperature Creep

Published: May 2018

Abstract
The study consisted in assessing the influence of surface and volume modification on the characteristics of high-temperature creep of castings made of waste products of nickel-based superalloys IN 713C and the MAR-247. The results of high-temperature creep tests performed under conditions of two variants of research were analysed. The characteristics of creep according to variant I were obtained on the basis of earlier studies of these alloys with the parameters T=982°C, σ=150MPa [1]. Variant II included carrying out creep tests of alloy IN713C with the parameters T=760°C, σ =400MPa and alloy MAR247 with the parameters: T=982°C, σ=200MPa.Developed creep characteristics were compared with the results of these alloys with the parameters according to variant I of the study. It was observed that the conditions of experiments carried out depending upon the value of the creep test temperature and stress with the creep stability depends on the size of the macrograin (I variant of the studies) or such influence was not observed (II variant of the studies). Stability of samples with coarse structure in variant I of creep tests was significantly higher than the samples with fragmented grain. It was found that the observed stability conditions are dependent on the dominant deformation mechanisms under creep tests carried out - diffusion mechanism in variant I and a dislocation mechanism in variant II of the study. The conditions for the formation and growth of the cracks in the tested materials, including the morphological characteristics of their macro-and microstructure were tested
Negotiation of Legitimacy of Witch-Finders in Lusaka
Authors: Mildnerová Kateřina 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
The article aims at legal and illegal activities of Lusaka´s traditional healers within the system of traditional medicine which is primarily anchored in the constitution of traditional healers´ associations. It primarily focuses on witch-finders, whose social status, professional position and authority is constantly negotiated within the formal and informal sector of traditional medicine. Since the late 1990s, the quest for services of traditional healers specialised in witch-finding has gained popularity, particularly amongst the impoverished Lusaka compound-dwellers. Due to the increasing public violence against those denoted as witches, the activities of witch-finders were officially banned by the Witchcraft Act in 1995 and this profession is not officially recognised by the Constitution of Traditional Health Practitioners Association of Zambia (THAPAZ). In spite of the prohibition, there remain many witch-finders in Lusaka who practise witch-finding secretly, in order not to commit an offence they do not openly denounce the name of an alleged witch. Their authority and credibility is threatened by many “official” as well as “unofficial” competitors in the city and it must be constantly reaffirmed and negotiated by introducing innovations. The ability to keep clients and to gain a good reputation thus depends on the originality of their diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. At the same time witch-finders must counter diverse obstacles and uncertainties resulting from their illegal status within the sector of traditional medicine. The author analyses tactics that Lusaka´s witch-finders have developed and employed to negotiate their social status, credibility and authority visà-vis the competition from the “official” traditional healers.

Published: May 2018

Recently, in Japan, safety measures such as earthquake-resistant reinforcement work and tile-reinforcement work are increasing. Current concrete drilling methods have issues such as noise, vibration, dust, and reaction force. These methods are causing stress for the residents. Consequently, solutions are being sought for work taking place on skyscrapers and at facilities that cannot shut down during construction, such as hotels, schools, hospitals and geriatric facilities for instance. This study investigated how laser drilling change the conditions, depending on the type of concrete in order to determine the possibility of using laser drilling for tile-reinforcement work and repairing concrete on building exterior. The results confirmed that it’s possible to successfully drill holes for drilling diameters of 4 to 6 mm and depths of around 50 mm in concrete with a compressive strength within the range of 20 to 100 N/mm2 by adjusting laser conditions. In case of deep holes the CW-mode should be chosen. Furthermore, by controlling laser irradiation conditions, it is possible to change the shape of the holes. These different kinds of holes are suitable for different applications. It is expected that laser irradiation drilling will be applied to new construction methods.

Authors: Da Silva Silvio Bitencourt 
Published: May 2018

O presente estudo investiga a ampliação dos papéis de coordenação e gerenciamento em redes de inovação aberta identificadas como Living Labs através de um modelo conceitual denominado de Coreografia. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa caracterizada como estudo de caso cuja unidade de análise se refere as ações tomadas para coordenação e gerenciamento da Plataforma Corais.org, já reconhecida como membro da European Network of Living Labs (Rede Europeia de Living Labs, em português). Os membros da rede participam de um processo de auto-organização em que a ordem emerge devido às interações entre membros em que simultaneamente todos estão envolvidos na gestão contínua da rede, onde a estrutura e o desempenho resultantes são co-produzidos por suas ações. Gera como implicações a teoria existente a criação de conhecimento sobre certas atividades auto-organizadas entre os membros da rede e orientadas pela informação: gestão do fluxo de conhecimento, gestão da apropriabilidade da inovação, gestão da estabilidade da rede e gestão da vitalidade e saúde da rede. Tais atividades levam à alavancagem da inovação e à coerência da inovação contribuindo com o alcance do resultado final de inovação de uma rede. Em termos gerenciais possibilita a obtenção de novos discernimentos quanto a liderança e o controle distribuídos entre os membros de redes de inovação em que os padrões de colaboração são mais relevantes na rede que os papéis individuais. As atividades inerentes a Coreografia possibilitam a definição de um tipo de modelo de gestão de relações colaborativas no uso de redes para o desenvolvimento de inovações.
Estimation of the chemical composition of black grouse Tetrao tetrix diets in the eastern Italian Alps
Authors: Filacorda Stefano , Sepulcri Angela , Piasentier Edi , de Franceschi Paolo F. 
Published: May 2018

In a study area situated in the eastern Italian Alps, samples of the main ingredients in the diet of male black grouse were collected nine times between September 1993 and December 1994 and analysed for crude protein (CP) content and cell wall components (NDF, ADF, ADL). The mean monthly chemical composition of the diet was calculated on the basis of the percentage of dry matter (DM) weight of the main ingredients in the crop or gizzard, estimated in a previous experiment with 100 male birds shot in the same region in the periods April‐June and September‐December. Dietary CP reached its maximum value in spring (17.4 and 14.5% DM in May and June respectively), and its minimum in autumn (8.4% DM). Non‐protein cellular solubles (NPS) were particularly high (66.7% DM) in September. The NDF content was highest in May (52.5% DM) and lowest in autumn, when it increased linearly from September (24.7% DM) to November (35.3% DM). The variability of the diets could be described by two principal factors, the first of which was correlated with the level of fibrous constituents and the second with the protein level and an ingredient diversity index (DI). In the plane defined by these two factors, five different types of diets were identified by cluster analysis; one diet distributed over all months was associated with two ‘spring’ and two ‘autumn’ diets. The first, ‘basal’ diet had intermediate chemical characteristics (CP 10.2% DM; NDF 37.1% DM) and a relatively high DI (3.3). The two spring diets had very high (CP 18.1% DM; NDF 64.7% DM) or high (CP 11.9% DM; NDF 46.7% DM) protein and fibre levels, due to the selection of beech Fagus sylvatica buds or bilberry Vaccinium myrtillus or larch Larix decidua shoots and needles. The two autumn diets had a high concentration of NPS (70.5% DM and 61.2% DM) due to the presence of fruits, particularly from bilberry and cowberry Vaccinium vitis‐idaea; they differed in their DI (2.6 vs 3.5) and the partial substitution of bilberries by bilberry shoots and Rhododendron spp. buds and leaves in the second diet.
Long‐term changes in sage grouse Centrocercus urophasianus populations in western North America
Authors: Connelly John W. , Braun Clait E. 
Published: May 2018

Available data indicate that sage grouse Centrocercus urophasianus have declined throughout their range. This species presently occurs in 11 U.S. States and in two Canadian provinces. In nine states having long‐term data, breeding populations have declined by 17–47% ( = 33%) from the longterm average. Six states have long‐term information on sage grouse production. In five of these states, production has declined by 10–51% ( = 25%) from the long‐term average. Habitat deterioration, loss, and fragmentation have reduced the quantity and quality of nesting and early brood‐rearing habitat causing population declines. Factors appearing to be largely responsible for the changes in habitats and, ultimately, sage grouse populations over wide areas of western North America are discussed, and hypotheses that could be tested to provide better insight into sage grouse population declines are suggested. Once these changes are better understood, conservation strategies that address protection and rehabilitation of sagebrush Artemisia spp. rangelands should be developed and implemented in each state and province to halt the decline of sage grouse and initiate recovery.
