Towards an improved understanding of hydrological change – linking hydrologic metrics and multiple change point tests
Authors: Vu T. T. , Kiesel J. , Guse B. , Fohrer N. 
Published: November 2018

AbstractUnderstanding the connections between climate, anthropogenic impacts, and hydrology is fundamental for assessing future climate change. However, a comprehensive methodology is lacking to understand significant changes in the discharge regime and their causes. We propose an approach that links change point tests with hydrologic metrics applied to two Vietnamese catchments where both climatic and anthropogenic changes are observed. The change points in discharge series are revealed by six widely used change point tests. Then, 171 hydrologic metrics are investigated to evaluate all possible hydrological changes that occurred between the pre- and post-change point period. The tests showed sufficient capabilities to detect hydrological changes caused by precipitation alterations and damming. Linking the change point tests to the hydrological metrics had three benefits: (1) the significance of each detected change point was evaluated, (2) we found which test responds to which hydrologic metric, and (3) we were able to disentangle the hydrological impacts of the climatic and anthropogenic changes. Due to its objectivity, the presented method can improve the interpretation of anthropogenic changes and climate change impacts on the hydrological system.

Abstract
Many urbanised deltas face development challenges due to growing economies, populations and climate change. Changes in land–water strategies are often required, as ‘business-as-usual’ solutions are no longer sufficient. The aim of this paper was to study tidal river management (TRM) as a strategic innovation, and trace how it is appreciated by people and used in master plans to address congested rivers and waterlogging in Bangladesh. In this context, a strategic innovation can be categorised as having four features: (i) it is a fundamental reconceptualisation of business as usual strategies; (ii) it is rule breaking and reshapes markets; (iii) it offers value improvement for livelihoods; (iv) it is sustainable. The case study analysis was built from 17 interviews, a focus group discussion and numerous documents. The case analysis revealed that tidal river management is very different (local, natural, complex) from mainstream engineering strategies for tidal rivers and polder systems, and is strongly supported by local people for its potential livelihood improvement. The paper concludes that tidal river management has strategic potential, though is hardly recognised in master plans. To advance practice, reconceptualisations are needed that focus on the diverse benefits of TRM, such as restored tidal rivers, flora and fauna. Further research could elaborate livelihood models that thrive on these benefits, and evaluate their costs and benefits accordingly.
A comparative analysis of practitioners' experience in sediment remediation projects to highlight best practices
Authors: Jawed Zobia , Krantzberg Gail 
Published: November 2018

AbstractThe Randle Reef contaminated site, located in the southwest corner of Hamilton Harbour, is approximately 60 hectares in size. This site contains approximately 695,000 m3 of sediment contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and metals. The complex Randle Reef sediment remediation project is finally coming to fruition after more than 30 years of study, discussion, collaborations, stakeholder consensus-building, and debate. This paper unravels the reasons behind the delays associated with implementing sediment management at the Randle Reef site. In-depth interviews with experts and professionals from organizations who are/were involved in the project were conducted to identify the nature of performance in five theme areas that are important for successful action namely: (1) participation of appropriate actors with common objectives; (2) funding and resources; (3) decision-making process; (4) research and technology development; and (5) public and political support. It is evident from this study that the hurdles to progress with addressing contaminated sediment sites involve technical, political, regulatory as well as social challenges. We offer potential solutions and a series of recommendations based on experts' first-hand experience with the management of such complex sites to inform how future remediation projects can overcome obstacles.This article has been made Open Access thanks to the kind support of CAWQ/ACQE (https://www.cawq.ca).

Appraising Independent Mobility of Children in Military Barrack Community Milieu of Developing Countries
Authors: Daodu Tosin , Said Ismail 
Published: November 2018

Independent mobility refers to children's liberty to play freely in the neighbourhood without being supervised by adults. However, mobility restriction has affected child-friendliness in military barrack communities in developing countries including Nigeria. The study aimed to explore principles of independent mobility in creating a child-friendly barrack. Thirty journal articles related to children's environment studies, military geographies and barrack housing were reviewed and analyzed. Children's level of independent mobility impacts their physical, social, cognitive, and emotional development. Consequently, walking or cycling-friendly environment as active travel mode was found to have positively contributed to improved well-being and quality of life of children in military barracks.
Knowledge and Practice Discordance in Treating Urinary Tract Infections
Authors: Bauer David W. , Adkison Julie , Hamilton Heather 
Published: November 2018

Background and Objectives: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common condition in women. Guidelines have been published on the diagnosis and management of such infections with the twin goals of improved patient safety and avoiding unnecessary health care costs. In this study we evaluated both physicians’ knowledge of these guidelines, and whether that knowledge translates to their clinical practice.
Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of UTI management before and after an educational intervention in a family medicine residency. Two control sites were also included. We also assessed physicians’ knowledge of current UTI management guidelines using an anonymous quiz.
Results: At the intervention site, guideline adherence improved following the educational session. Inappropriate culture use decreased from 88% to 68% (P&lt;.005) while first-line antibiotic use increased from 68% to 92% (P&lt;.005). No such benefits were seen at the control sites. The control and intervention site providers did not differ in knowledge of antibiotic choice on the quiz (86% and 88% correct respectively, P=.85), but all control providers felt routine cultures were appropriate, whereas only 38% of the intervention providers did (P&lt;.05).
Conclusions: A simple educational intervention made an impact on the management of UTI. Our results also highlighted that knowledge and practice are not always aligned.
Relações entre a Concentração de Propriedade e o Conservadorismo Condicional nas Companhias Abertas Brasileiras: Uma Análise através do Modelo de Regressão Quantílica
Authors: Prazeres Rodrigo Vicente

Authors: NUNES [Editor Convidado] Pedro , SOUSA Joana Belarmino de 
Published: November 2018

A Revista Latino-americana de Jornalismo – ÂNCORA disponibiliza a sua nona edição [V.5 N.2] tendo como dossiê temático um conjunto de contribuições acadêmicas transdisciplinares que versam sobre JORNALISMO, MÍDIA e PODER: o processo de impeachment e o contexto pós-Dilma. Trata-se de uma composição textual interpretativa com olhares argutos, meticulosos e aprofundados de pesquisadores e pesquisadoras que integram diferentes universidades do Brasil, Argentina, Portugal e Colômbia. Essas diferentes vozes plurais e singulares se debruçaram particularmente sobre as complexidades que envolveram o processo de impeachment da ex-presidenta Dilma Rousseff no tocante ao viés narrativo de determinadas coberturas jornalísticas produzidas pela grande imprensa e, em alguns casos, sobre reverberações desses acontecimentos noticiosos nas redes sociais. A grande imprensa teve um papel preponderante neste espetáculo político alimentado por fatos cotidianos envolvendo instituições dos poderes constituídos da república, como o Legislativo, o Judiciário e o Ministério Público. Os artigos e a entrevista do presente dossiê iluminam de modo analítico essas fraturas expostas relacionadas ao contexto do processo democrático, quanto ao papel do jornalismo em períodos de crise política, e, ainda, o comportamento da imprensa e as problematizações necessárias ao Executivo, Legislativo e Judiciário e outros fios desencapados que provocaram curtos-circuitos e apagões na democracia brasileira.
O IMPEACHMENT DO JORNALISMO: clima de opinião e manipulação ideológica no golpe contra Dilma Rousseff
Authors: VIZEU Alfredo , ROCHA Heitor Costa Lima da , CARDOSO Laís Cristine Ferreira 
Published: November 2018

Este trabalho investiga evidências de como o Jornal do Commercio construiu um clima de opinião favorável ao golpe parlamentar que derrubou a ex-presidente Dilma Rousseff. O corpus do trabalho foi a cobertura das manifestações sobre o impeachment da ex-presidente. Na análise confirmamos a hipótese de uma distorção sistemática das notícias visando legitimar a cassação, através de um clima de opinião em que a minoria populacional pertencente às elites é representada como majoritária, com o intuito de intimidar os defensores do mandato da presidente, descritos como minoritários, com a ameaça de isolamento, conforme o conceito da Espiral do Silêncio de Noelle-Neuman.

Published: November 2018

ABSTRACT

Objectives:
To investigate how patients adhere to instructions and how force magnitude fluctuates and influences the use of cervical headgear (CHG) therapy.

Materials and Methods:
In this controlled clinical trial, subjects (n = 40) were treated with CHG with light (L, 300 g) or heavy (H, 500 g) force. Patients were asked to wear CHG for 10 hours per day for 10 months (ie, during sleep), but the importance for treatment of wearing CHG also in the evening hours was emphasized. Adherence to instructions and force magnitude in CHG use were monitored by electronic module (Smartgear, Swissorthodontics, Switzerland).

Results:
Force magnitude can be set at a certain level, L or H, even if great individual variability is seen in all subjects (0–900 g). Children in the L group used CHG longer per day than those in the H group (9.3 hours ±1.5 hours and 7.8 hours ± 2.1 hours, respectively, P = .002). During evening hours, CHG was used more (P = .02) in the L group than in the H group. In both groups, CHG was used less in the evening hours during school breaks than in the evening hours during school (P &lt; .001).

Conclusions:
Children with lower force in CHG seem to adhere better to the instructions for CHG use. Daily rhythm also influences the time of appliance use regardless of force magnitude. The force can be set to a certain magnitude level, even though there is substantial individual variability.
