Tendencia en la distribución estadística de la anomalía de la temperatura en Cataluña
Authors: Téllez-Jurado Beatriz 
Published: June 2018

En este trabajo se analizan los parámetros de la función de distribución de probabilidad (FDP) de las anomalías de las temperaturas máximas y mínimas en Cataluña durante el periodo 1951-2017, así como su tendencia. Para ello, se utilizan series diarias de anomalías de temperaturas promediadas para Cataluña. Se concluye que el aumento en la temperatura media ha sido de 0,23 ºC por década. El incremento ha sido mayor en las temperaturas máximas que en las mínimas y el verano ha sido la estación que más ha contribuido a este incremento. De los resultados obtenidos del análisis de las FDP de las series de anomalías de temperatura destaca que la dispersión de las anomalías de las máximas es mayor que la de las mínimas y que el sesgo de ambas distribuciones es negativo. Respecto a la evolución interdecadal de las FDP de las series, resalta el aumento de la varianza en las anomalías de las temperaturas máximas, especialmente en verano y en primavera. El efecto combinado del aumento del valor medio y de la varianza ha conducido a un incremento de la severidad y la frecuencia de los episodios extremadamente cálidos.

“É possível controlar a multidão?” Libânio em defesa de Juliano e contra a população de Antioquia (séc. IV)
Authors: Da Silva Gilvan Ventura 
Published: June 2018

Quando tratamos do emprego do humor e do deboche como mecanismos de resposta da população urbana ao desempenho das autoridades romanas, um caso emblemático de estranhamento entre súditos e imperador é aquele que ocorre entre 362 e 363, em Antioquia, durante a estadia de Juliano na cidade. Esse estranhamento foi tão intenso que acarretou, num primeiro momento, a elaboração de uma obra no mínimo desconcertante como o Misopógon, texto satírico no qual Juliano tece duras críticas ao modus vivendi dos habitantes da cidade. Na sequência, como desdobramento do episódio, vem à luz dois discursos de Libânio, um deles intitulado Aos antioquenos, sobre a ira do imperador (Or. XVI) e o outro, Embaixada a Juliano (Or. XV). Ambos os discursos buscavam reverter a difícil situação na qual se encontrava Antioquia, alvo da cólera do soberano. Nesse artigo, pretendemos explorar os argumentos de Libânio sobre a controvérsia envolvendo Juliano e os antioquenos a fim de demonstrar como o sofista se encontrava comprometido com a proposta de reforma da pólis idealizada pelo imperador.
The analysis of data errors in financial information databases: New evidence from the Korean financial markets
Authors: Jung Hyung-Chan , Nam Hyun-Jung 
Published: June 2018

Background: As financial professionals including policy-makers tend to base decisions on research performed using large machine-readable financial databases, the accuracy of the financial data provided by database companies has a direct impact on the quality of their decisions. Objectives: The objective of this study was to examine data errors in the DataGuide and KisValue databases which are both primary sources of stock prices and return data for Korea Exchange securities in Korea. This article also discussed the methodological implications of erroneous data on monthly stock returns in empirical studies on Korean financial markets. Methods: A cross-checking technique was used in this study. Results: The results suggest that there are material discrepancies between the DataGuide and KisValue databases in monthly stock returns, most of which are attributable to the mishandling of split events and of missing values. The results also indicate that DataGuide provides a more reliable service than KisValue in terms of monthly stock returns. Conclusion: The results show that extreme monthly returns resulting from serious data errors in the DataGuide and KisValue databases may be enough to sharply change the properties of monthly stock return distributions and to over- or underestimate long-term abnormal stock returns.
Analysis of the disaster characteristics and emergency response of the Jiuzhaigou earthquake
Authors: Wang Wei , Chen Hong , Xu Aihui , Qu Minhao 
Published: June 2018

Abstract. China's earthquake emergency response system has been improved by lessons learned
from multiple earthquakes. This paper focuses on the Ms 7.0
earthquake that occurred in Jiuzhaigou County, Sichuan Province, China, on
8 August 2017 and assesses the emergency response activities of all levels of
government as well as various departments, rescue teams, enterprises and
public institutions and social organizations. The emergency response is
compared to other large earthquakes that occurred in China in recent years.
The lessons learned from these experiences can inform the emergency response
to future disasters. The characteristics of the Jiuzhaigou earthquake and the
emergency responses after the event are analysed. The response level and
resource mobilization were appropriately adjusted as the disaster developed,
and various departments worked together to conduct multi-sector joint rescue
efforts. Additionally, professional rescue forces and participating social
organizations were more rationally mobilized than during past earthquake
emergency responses. A set of effective disaster relief command and
coordination mechanisms was established to facilitate cooperation between
multiple departments and social organizations under the leadership of the
local government. Finally, new and more effective technologies played an
important role in the emergency response and rescue efforts following the
earthquake.
Understanding Political – Administrative Relations in Local Governments in Tanzania: A Case of Tanga City Council
Authors: Njunwa Kelvin M. 
Published: June 2018

Political-administrative relations are attracting the attention of researchers in the current public administration domain in developing countries. Local governments in Tanzania operate based on two types of officials namely; politicians and administrators and whose performance is largely dependent on the relationship of the two. The purpose of the paper was to provide a clear picture of the political-administrative relation in local governments. The study adopted a case study design by purposefully selecting Tanga City Council. A total of fifty (50) respondents were selected purposefully based on their knowledge and experience in working with the elected officials. The methods of data collection used include, survey method, interview, observation, Focus Group Discussion and Key Focus Interview (KFIs). Qualitative data were analysed using content analysis and quantitative data were analysed using SPSS whereby descriptive statistics were computed. The study revealed that the relationship between the elected and the appointed officials is characterized by conflict, distrust and interference that negatively affect employee’s performance in local government. Further, the study revealed that poor relations is highly associated with conflict of interests, distrust, task interdependence, political interference, lack of education on the side of politicians, poor communication and partisan politics. The study recommends that the government should have a regular monitoring of the relations between the two and encourage cooperation. Also the elected officials need to be trained on how to perform their roles in their areas of jurisdiction. The study recommend further that the elected and the appointed officials should perform their duties for public interests, increase the level of trust and do away with partisan politics in performing local government functions.

Asian Americans are the fastest growing ethnic group in U.S. However, they represent only 1.7% of U.S. cancer clinical trial participants. This pilot study describes findings on barriers, promoters and recommendations related to cancer clinical trial participation from Asian Americans. The research team conducted 3 focus groups comprised of 21 community members and 4 key informant interviews with healthcare providers. Qualitative methodology was used to identify themes about cancer clinical trial participation. Barriers and promoters were categorized based on themes identified and previous study findings. Eight major themes and 5 recommendations were identified from the focus group data. Five major themes and 7 recommendations were identified from the key informant data. Asian Americans’ decision to participate in cancer clinical trials is largely influenced by their cultural values and practices such as altruism and family-based decision making process. Technology platforms provide promising venues to reach Asian Americans. Family-based decision making process, altruism, and the use of technology platforms may need to be considered when outreaching to Asian Americans on cancer clinical trial participation.

Onderzoek naar de mogelijke juridische integratie van de Elektriciteits-, Gas- en Warmtewet en een uniform toezicht op de energiesector
Deze bijdrage geeft de belangrijkste bevindingen weer van een onderzoek naar de vraag in hoeverre integratie van de Nederlandse Gas-, Elektriciteits- en Warmtewet en de stroomlijning van het toezicht hierop mogelijk is. Op basis van de bevindingen van dit onderzoek zijn drie belangrijke conclusies te trekken. Allereerst bestaan grote mogelijkheden tot integratie van de Gaswet en Elektriciteitswet 1998 en de uniformering van het toezicht hierop. Desalniettemin bestaan ook barrières tot integratie. Zo leiden de begripsomschrijvingen van de kernbegrippen tot problemen voor integratie. Dit probleem wordt verergerd door de recente inwerkingtreding van de Europese netwerkcodes door de Europese Commissie, die buiten het bestek van dit onderzoek vallen. Daarnaast bestaan grote verschillen tussen de Warmtewet enerzijds en de Gas- en Elektriciteitswet anderzijds, omdat de bepalingen uit de Warmtewet een gebrek aan vergelijkbare artikelen vertonen. Daarom kan worden geconcludeerd dat de huidige Warmtewet nog niet te integreren is met de huidige Elektriciteitswet 1998 en Gaswet. Ten derde komen de meeste belemmeringen voort uit Nederlands beleid. Dit betekent dat de Nederlandse wetgever de ruimte heeft om de verschillende bepalingen aan te passen en te integreren. Op basis van bovenstaande conclusies en wanneer er speciale aandacht aan het begrippenkader wordt gegeven lijkt het mogelijk om een integrale energiewet met geharmoniseerd toezicht door de Autoriteit Consument en Markt in de elektriciteits- en gasmarkt te creëren, mits de grenzen van het Europees recht en technologische kenmerken van de markten worden gerespecteerd.
Sobre el origen de los derechos naturales en los juristas del siglo XII || On Natural Rights’ Origin in the Jurists of the XIIth Century
Authors: Megías Quirós José Justo 
Published: June 2018

RESUMEN: Ha sido frecuente últimamente atribuir a los decretistas del siglo XII la primera formulación de los derechos naturales. Brian Tierney ha situado su origen en las obras de Rufino y Huguccio al comentar la parte “demostrativa” del derecho natural. Esta tesis supondría adelantar su nacimiento a una época dominada por la concepción objetivista del Derecho. Examinamos aquí la concepción del Derecho en los decretistas más importantes de la segunda mitad del siglo XII, Paucapalea, Rufino, Esteban de Tournai, Simón Bisiniano y Huguccio, así como la relevancia que otorgaron estos juristas al Derecho desde una perspectiva subjetiva.

ABSTRACT: Recently, it has often been attributed to the 12th century decretists the first formulation of natural rights. In this sense, Brian Tierney placed his origin in the works of Rufino and Huguccio, when they commented on the "demonstrative" part of natural law. This thesis would mean bringing forward his birth to an era dominated by the objectivist conception of Law. We examine here the conception of Law in the most important decretists of the second half of the 12th century (Paucapalea, Rufino, Esteban de Tournai, Simón Bisiniano and Huguccio) as well as the relevance that these jurists gave the law from a subjective perspective
Los derechos humanos en la sociedad del riesgo. Crisis del Estado, justicia intergeneracional y medio ambiente || Human rights in risk society. State crisis, intergenerational justice and environment
Authors: De Julios-Campuzano Alfonso 
Published: June 2018

RESUMEN: Esta era de la globalización es, como Beck ha apuntado, la era del riesgo global, que se caracteriza por el creciente nivel de riesgo en el manejo de los medios técnicos que amenaza la preservación del planeta y la supervivencia de la especie. En ese contexto, resulta cada vez más notoria la insuficiencia de un modelo de comprensión de los derechos humanos vinculado a la primera modernidad, que concibió los derechos ligados al marco espacial del Estado-nación y a una concepción de la temporalidad como tiempo presente. Frente a ello, reivindicamos un nuevo paradigma de los derechos humanos que, a partir de la dimensión global de los problemas y de una concepción intergeneracional de la justicia, trascienda los límites territoriales del Estado e incorpore la dimensión del futuro en la protección de los bienes jurídicos.

ABSTRACT: The globalisation era is, as Beck has pointed out, the age of global risk, characterized by the increasing level of risk in the management of technical means. In this context, the insufficiency of a model of understanding human rights linked to the first modernity becomes increasingly evident. Against this, we demand a new paradigm of human rights that, from the global dimension of problems and from an intergenerational conception of justice, transcend the territorial limits of the State and incorporate the dimension of future in the protection of legal assets.
Innvandrerkvinners erfaringer med svangerskap, fødsel og barseltid i Norge - en kvalitativ studie

Published: June 2018

Right to equal healthcare is statutory in Norway, but there is little knowledge of immigrant women's experiences of health- and welfare services during pregnancy and the portnatal period. Immigrant women are at higher risk for a number of complications related to this period. The purpose of this study was to acquire deeper insight into immigrant women's needs and experiences during their pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal period in Norway. The study has a qualitative design using in-depth interviews of immigrant women during pregnancy and the postnatal period. The results are divided into four categories; networks, health professionals have different approaches, the father`s role, and knowledge and information. Results show that language is an important prerequisite for equitable and culture-sensitive health services. Mutual understanding has to be established for the woman's needs to be met and to experience co-determination and recognition. More attention to the father's role is suggested. equal healthcare; immigrant women; qualitative design; birth; postnatal periodlikeverdige helsetjenester; innvandrerkvinner; kvalitativt design; fødsel; barseltid
Multiple Bonding in Actinide Chemistry
Authors: Boreen Michael A. , Arnold John 
Published: June 2018

Abstract

The field of actinide–ligand multiple bonds has flourished in recent years, with many new types of complexes only first having been isolated within the past decade. The structure and bonding in many of these species highlight the unique chemistry of the actinide elements. Synthetic routes to actinide–ligand multiple bonds are diverse; this article provides an overview of the methods for preparing actinide nitrido, imido, and terminal mono‐oxo compounds, as well as their heavier pnictogen and chalcogen analogs. Carbene complexes of thorium and uranium are also discussed. Many of these classes of compounds tend to display short An–L bonds, providing structural evidence for multiple bond character. Nevertheless, An–L multiple bonds are generally strongly polarized as established by reactivity studies of these often highly reactive species. Calculations have provided additional insight into the nature of the An–L bond with results ranging from strong triple bond character in
trans
‐bis(imido) and nitrido complexes of uranium to substantial ionic interactions in carbene complexes of thorium.
Mössbauer Spectroscopy of Actinide Compounds
Authors: Gaczyński Piotr 
Published: June 2018

AbstractMössbauer spectroscopy is a microscopic element‐specific technique that is a well‐established tool for probing aspects of electronic structure, especially those reflected in magnetic properties. Even though the properties of a sample material may well depend on long‐range behavior, Mössbauer spectroscopy does not require the probe atoms or nuclei to be polarized and it hence can be performed in zero applied field. Even so, special external conditions such as high pressure, high magnetic fields, or ultralow temperatures are fairly easily applied. The most distinctive feature of Mössbauer spectroscopy is the possibility to gain rather direct information on the charge state of the resonant atom via the so‐called isomer shift. The needed information is gained by determination of hyperfine interaction energies, that is, the coupling between the electron shell and its nucleus. The signal is given only by solid materials; however, they need not be crystalline, meaning that glasses, frozen solutions, and amorphous solids can be studied. Two examples are presented to demonstrate the power of Mössbauer spectroscopy in the study of magnetic and electronic properties of materials with 5f‐electrons. Both of them are counterparts of superconducting materials. NpFeAsO is a counterpart of a rare‐earth iron oxypnictide, and NpTGa5is a counterpart of the plutonium superconductor PuCoGa5.

Published: June 2018

AbstractSustainable remediation has been increasingly regarded as a promising alternative in recent years. It considersnet environmental impactssuch as energy use, greenhouse gas emission, and waste reduction. Passivein situremediation or natural attenuation are the key component of sustainable remediation often intended to minimize the net environmental impacts. However, leaving contaminants in the subsurface requires the increased burden of proof to show that plumes are stable and residual contaminants do not pose a significant health risk. Particularly in complex geological environments and for actinide species with complex geochemical behaviors, it is difficult to ensure the system stability as well as to predict the future plume conditions. This article presents recent scientific advances to support sustainable remediation in complex geological systems, including site characterization techniques, hydrological and geochemical model developments, and numerical simulations. In particular, we highlight the recent developments in non‐invasive geophysical characterization as well as computationally efficient geochemical models for describing uranium and other reactive species. We demonstrate this approach using the extensive data and models from the Savannah River Site F‐area, which has been contaminated by low‐level radioactive waste solutions including uranium, tritium, and other radionuclides.

AbstractIncreasing occurrences of degenerative diseases, defective tissues, and severe cancers heighten the importance of advanced biomedical treatments, which in turn enhance the need for improved biomaterials with versatile theranostic functionalities yet using minimal design complexity. Leveraging the advantages of citrate chemistry, a multifunctional citrate‐based biomaterial platform is developed with both imaging and therapeutic capabilities utilizing a facile and efficient one‐pot synthesis. The resulting aniline tetramer doped biodegradable photoluminescent polymers (BPLPATs) not only possess programmable degradation profiles (<1 to > 6 months) and mechanical strengths (≈20 MPa to >400 MPa), but also present a combination of intrinsic fluorescence, photoacoustic (PA), and electrical conductivity properties. BPLPAT nanoparticles are able to label cells for fluorescence imaging and perform deep tissue detection with PA imaging. Coupled with significant photothermal performance, BPLPAT nanoparticles demonstrate great potential for thermal treatment and in vivo real‐time detection of cancers. The results on BPLPAT scaffolds demonstrate 3D high‐spatial‐resolution deep tissue PA imaging (23 mm), as well as promote growth and differentiation of PC‐12 nerve cells. It is envisioned that the biodegradable dual‐imaging‐enabled electroactive citrate‐based biomaterial platform will expand the currently available theranostic material systems and open new avenues for diversified biomedical and biological applications via the demonstrated multifunctionality.
