Abstract
In Ontario, Canada, information is lacking on chlorine and ultraviolet (UV) light disinfection performance against enteric viruses in wastewater. We enumerated enteroviruses and noroviruses, coliphages, and Escherichia coli per USEPA methods 1615, 1602, and membrane filtration, respectively, in pre- and post-disinfection effluent at five wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), with full-year monthly sampling, and calculated log10 reductions (LRs) while WWTPs complied with their monthly geometric mean limit of 200 E. coli/100 mL. Modeling of densities by left-censored estimation and Bayesian inference gave very similar results. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-detected enteroviruses and noroviruses were abundant in post-disinfection effluent (mean concentrations of 2.1 × 10+4–7.2 × 10+5 and 2.7 × 10+4–3.6 × 10+5 gene copies (GC)/L, respectively). Chlorine or UV disinfection produced modest LRs for culture- (0.3–0.9) and PCR-detected enteroviruses (0.3–1.3), as well as noroviruses GI + GII (0.5–0.8). Coliphages and E. coli were more susceptible, with LRs of 0.8–3.0 and 2.5, respectively. Sand-filtered effluent produced significantly higher enteric virus LRs (except cultured enteroviruses). Coliphage and human enteric virus densities gave significantly positive correlations using Kendall's Tau test. Enteric viruses are abundant in wastewater effluent following routine chlorine or UV disinfection processes that target E. coli. Coliphages appear to be good indicators for evaluating wastewater disinfection of enteric viruses.
Public Opinions on Using Social Media Content to Identify Users With Depression and Target Mental Health Care Advertising: Mixed Methods Survey

Published: August 2019

BackgroundDepression is a common disorder that still remains underdiagnosed and undertreated in the UK National Health Service. Charities and voluntary organizations offer mental health services, but they are still struggling to promote these services to the individuals who need them. By analyzing social media (SM) content using machine learning techniques, it may be possible to identify which SM users are currently experiencing low mood, thus enabling the targeted advertising of mental health services to the individuals who would benefit from them.ObjectiveThis study aimed to understand SM users’ opinions of analysis of SM content for depression and targeted advertising on SM for mental health services.MethodsA Web-based, mixed methods, cross-sectional survey was administered to SM users aged 16 years or older within the United Kingdom. It asked participants about their demographics, their usage of SM, and their history of depression and presented structured and open-ended questions on views of SM content being analyzed for depression and views on receiving targeted advertising for mental health services.ResultsA total of 183 participants completed the survey, and 114 (62.3%) of them had previously experienced depression. Participants indicated that they posted less during low moods, and they believed that their SM content would not reflect their depression. They could see the possible benefits of identifying depression from SM content but did not believe that the risks to privacy outweighed these benefits. A majority of the participants would not provide consent for such analysis to be conducted on their data and considered it to be intrusive and exposing.ConclusionsIn a climate of distrust of SM platforms’ usage of personal data, participants in this survey did not perceive that the benefits of targeting advertisements for mental health services to individuals analyzed as having depression would outweigh the risks to privacy. Future work in this area should proceed with caution and should engage stakeholders at all stages to maximize the transparency and trustworthiness of such research endeavors.
Assessing Whether Meditation Improves Quality of Life for Adolescent Girls With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Hewawasam Erandi , Brennan Leah , Giles Lynne , Hull Mary Louise , Short Asha , Norman Robert , Peña Alexia S 
Published: August 2019

Background
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine condition characterized by irregular periods, hirsutism, acne, or hyperandrogenemia. Adolescents with PCOS have impaired quality of life (QOL) and increased psychological distress. Transcendental Meditation (TM) is a well-established self-management strategy that has been used to improve stress and well-being. A meta-analysis of TM trials has shown beneficial effects on stress and blood pressure in adults. Recent data are suggesting that another self-management strategy called a mindfulness stress management program has a role in improving QOL in women with PCOS, but there are no studies in adolescents.

Objective
This study aims to evaluate the effect of TM on QOL and psychological distress in adolescent girls with PCOS.

Methods
This study is a randomized controlled trial that will be conducted over eight weeks at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Adelaide, South Australia, to determine the effect of TM on QOL and psychological distress in adolescent girls (aged 12-20 years) with PCOS. A total of 40 girls will be randomized into either the TM (n=20) or control group (n=20). The TM group will be asked to practice TM in a comfortable sitting position with the eyes closed, for 15 minutes twice daily over eight weeks. The control group will be asked to sit quietly for 15 minutes twice daily for eight weeks. The primary outcomes are any effects on improving QOL and psychological distress, and the secondary outcomes are any effects on lowering blood pressure and salivary cortisol levels.

Results
The recruitment of study participants began in May 2019 and is expected to be completed by June 2020. It is expected that the adolescent girls with PCOS practicing TM over eight weeks will have a significant improvement in QOL and psychological distress compared to adolescents in the control group. Also, it is expected that adolescent girls in the TM group will have lower salivary cortisol levels and lower blood pressure.

Conclusions
This study will be the first to evaluate the effect of TM on QOL in adolescent girls with PCOS. The study will provide valuable information on a potential self-management strategy to improve QOL and well-being in adolescent girls with PCOS.

A respeito da compreensão da geografia pelos artistas viajantes nos séculos XVIII e XIX - Tradução: Pablo Diener
Authors: B. Keller Susanne 
Published: August 2019

Na segunda metade do século XVIII se verifica uma
coincidência nos interesses dos pintores de
paisagem e os dos naturalistas empíricos. O anseio
comum de uma observação naturalista minuciosa e
a necessidade de apreender a geografia de países
estranhos conduziram à colaboração e redundou
numa influência recíproca. Durante as viagens,
cientistas e artistas enfrentavam a tarefa de
apropriar-se em palavras e imagens das vistas
exóticas. Segundo pretende demonstrar este artigo,
no final do século XVIII e inícios do XIX, a percepção
dos espaços geográficos desconhecidos se encontra
em íntima relação com o desenvolvimento de novos
meios de representação visual. A apreensão estética
do espaço desempenhou um papel central nas
viagens, mas também na recepção do Panorama,
entendido como sucedâneo da vivência da paisagem
e substituto das viagens.
A litografia como veículo difusor da obra dos artistas viajantes: imagens do México entre 1828 e 1847 - Tradução: Vinícius Oliveira Godoy
Authors: Aguilar Ochoa Arturo 
Published: August 2019

Este artigo estuda a introdução e difusão da
litografia no México a partir do final da década
de 1820 e constata que seu desenvolvimento
esteve associado principalmente a dois
fenômenos. Por uma parte, foi dada a conhecer
através das diversas publicações periódicas
empreeendidas nesse país pelo italiano Claudio
Linati. Por outra, as edições européias de livros
de viajantes, que costumavam incluir ilustrações
litografadas dando a conhecer imagens do
México, sua paisagem e sua população, gozaram
de grande prestígio no próprio país; estas
publicações constituiram um importante impulso
para a difusão desta técnica de reprodução de
registros visuais e contribuíram ao interesse pelo
estabelecimento de oficinas de litografia,
sobretudo na capital da República Mexicana.

De acordo com o quê: arte e a filosofia do "fim da arte"
Authors: Kudielka Robert 
Published: August 2019

Em 1964, quando Danto pela primeira vez encontrou a Brillo Box de Warhol, Jasper Johns fez uma pintura intitulada De acordo com o quê. O novo livro de Danto, Após o fim da arte, também provoca essa questão porque em sua reafirmação do veredito de Hegel sobre o papel histórico da arte ele abandona uma parte essencial da definição implícita de arte: a questão da adequação entre conteúdo e apresentação.
Por que dispensar esse ponto crucial do julgamento de qualidade? Minha crítica se divide em três partes. A primeira parte mostra como todo o argumento histórico se apoia em uma mudança de critério. De acordo com Hegel, a arte atinge seu mais alto ponto de realização na antiguidade clássica quando a incorporação adequada parecia indispensável para a presença do espírito. Subsequentemente perdeu esse posto exclusivo – primeiro através da Cristandade, depois através da filosofia moderna – quando emergiu uma nova autoconsciência que não mais parecia precisar de manifestação externa. Ainda que Danto discuta o conceito de autocontrole absoluto como o ponto de fuga metafísico da construção de Hegel, ele, no entanto, endossa sua aparente evidência na arte e na cultura do final do século XX. Na segunda parte discuto as características distorções do tipo hegeliano de historicismo e as confronto tanto com a óbvia deturpação das próprias obras de arte quanto com o diferente código de conduta na história prática da arte. Isso leva a uma conclusão algo decepcionante: de acordo com um antigo, profundamente enraizado preconceito filosófico, não há problema sobre qualidade em arte, porque o verdadeiro parâmetro e concretização da arte é a própria filosofia. A parte final tenta desatar esse nó ao mostrar que há, na verdade, contemporaneamente a Hegel, uma notável interpretação diferente dos auto referentes auspícios da arte moderna que chega muito perto de suas verdadeiras realizações, e isso sem negar o básico predicamento filosófico do qual Danto nos lembrou.
Saussure, Benveniste e o objeto da Linguística
Authors: Juchem Aline 
Published: August 2019

Este trabalho tem por objetivo delinear as relações existentes entre o pensamento de Ferdinand de Saussure e de Émile Benveniste a respeito da constituição do objeto da Linguística. A partir de uma pesquisa teórico-conceitual, busca-se responder à seguinte questão: o que Benveniste altera em relação ao objeto da Linguística se comparado a Saussure? Considerando os princípios teóricos abordados, verifica-se, essencialmente, que, para Saussure, o objeto da Linguística é a língua enquanto sistema; enquanto para Benveniste, é a língua enquanto enunciação. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Saussure – Benveniste – Língua RÉSUMÉ : Ce travail prétend décrire les relations existantes entre la pensée de Ferdinand de Saussure et d’Émile Benveniste à propos de la constitution de l'objet de la Linguistique. À partir d'une recherche théorique et conceptuelle, on essaie de répondre à la question suivante : quelle est la modification de Benveniste à propos de l'objet de la Linguistique étant en comparaison à Saussure? En considérant les principes théoriques adoptés, on vérifie essentiellement que, pour Saussure, l'objet est la langue en tant que système ; pour Benveniste, c'est la langue en tant qu’énonciation.

Street Art: Fronteiras entre autoria e audiência na análise dialógica do documentário “Exit through the gift shop”
Authors: Cé João Pedro , Pizzinato Adolfo 
Published: August 2019

Este trabalho apresenta uma análise realizada sobre uma das obras de Banksy – expoente da street art contemporânea – o documentário “Exit through the gift shop”. O foco do estudo, porém, está no protagonista dessa narrativa: Thierry Guetta, um imigrante francês que reside nos Estados Unidos e é proprietário de uma loja de roupas. A narrativa retrata o processo que o personagem passa, de fã a autor reconhecido no contexto da street art, gradativamente assumindo mais a identidade de Mr. Brainwash, em detrimento da identidade de Thierry. São consideradas, na análise dessa transformação, as noções de identidade, alteridade, self-dialógico e a concepção bakhtiniana de Herói. Emerge dessa análise uma noção eminentemente dialógica de construção dos personagens-chave e a relação que a própria narrativa estabelece com as possibilidades de exercício de si-mesmo em um processo que questiona as fronteiras de autor, personagem e audiência em uma proposta de reflexão sobre as possíveis construções e mutações identitárias dos sujeitos contemporâneos.

Neste trabalho problematizamos o desafio de cumprimento do direito universal ao acesso em saúde para usuários de álcool e outras drogas no Brasil. Para isso apresentamos alguns vetores que interferem na produção de saúde para esta população. Analisar os desafios do campo da saúde nos conduziu à necessidade de compreender alguns vetores construídos historicamente e ao mesmo tempo nos conduziu à necessidade de avaliar como estes vetores se atualizam no contemporâneo. Além destes aspectos cabe ressaltar o trabalho conceitual que propôs uma análise histórica do conceito de universalidade e dos diferentes sentidos que ele pode assumir.
Pursuing Relevant (Tax) Research
Authors: Mills Lillian F. 
Published: August 2019

ABSTRACT
Successfully producing relevant research requires investment throughout one's career to acquire fresh institutional knowledge, theories, and methods. In my case, almost a decade in public accounting launched multiple papers examining the tension between financial reporting and tax planning. Some of these papers directly generated new requirements for tax compliance (Schedule M-3) and indirectly influenced new financial reporting disclosures (FIN 48). As tax accounting researchers, we have the best competitive advantage in helping tax policymakers and tax authorities distinguish real effects from reporting effects. We can use that knowledge when analyzing the 2017 tax reform, especially with the help of the American Accounting Association (AAA) to build our professional networks.
Vattimo y el anuncio heideggeriano de la eventualidad del ser
Authors: Bueno González Antonio 
Published: August 2019

La indagación del segundo Heidegger acerca del ser encuentra su maduración en la doctrina del Ereignis, un nuevo concepto «post-metafísico», según Vattimo, con el que el filósofo alemán trata de responder a la pregunta de qué es el ser una vez ha mostrado, en su primera etapa intelectual, la esencial diferenciación ontológica. El ser no es un ente, ni aquello fijo e inmutable que fundamenta lo ente. Ni de él puede decirse que es; el ser «se da». Y se da al hombre en un acto de donación recíproca en la totalidad del acontecer histórico. Vattimo parte de esta idea para concluir que el ser es evento que orbita en la constelación del Ge-Stell, el destino de la época actual en cuanto forma de desocultar el ser, de desvelar la verdad, y convierte a Heidegger en precursor de la postmodernidad y de su pensiero debole.
The effects of chrysin on cypermethrin-induced acute intoxication in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
Authors: Cerit Ozge , Koc Feride 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Cypermethrin (CP) is a toxic insecticide to fishes. Chrysin (CR) is a flavonoid, which can be obtained from plants. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of CR in fishes that had acute CP toxicity. In the study, a total of 60 fishes were used and added to feed and water with CR and CP for 10 days. Blood and tissue samples were collected. The serum enzymes aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), interleukin-10 (IL-10), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and catalase (CAT) levels/activities were determined for liver and kidneys. In this study, when the CP group was compared to the control group, an increase was observed in the levels/activities of AST, ALT, IL-1ß, TNF-α, and IL-6, otherwise, there was a decrease in the IL-10 level in the CP group. Additionally, an increase of MDA levels and a decrease of SOD, GSH-Px, and CAT levels/activities were observed in the CP group. When the CP group was compared to the CR groups, there was a decrease in IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, ALT, AST, and MDA levels/activities and there was an increase, depending on the dosage in GSH-Px, SOD, and CAT levels/activities of the CR groups. In conclusion, CR can prevent tissue damage, affecting oxidation via anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects of acute toxicity of fishes exposed to CP.
Evaluation of visual encounter surveys of the noble crayfish, Astacus astacus, and the spiny-cheek crayfish, Orconectes limosus
Authors: Bonk Maciej , Bobrek Rafał , Dołęga Jacek , Strużyński Witold 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Several methods of sampling are commonly used to detect freshwater crayfish (Decapoda: Malacostraca). Many of them are laborious, time-consuming, and require dedicated equipment. The aims of this contribution are i) to compare visual encounter surveys and baited trap success in the detection of the noble crayfish, Astacus astacus (L.), which is endangered in Poland, and ii) to assess the time needed to detect the invasive spiny-cheek crayfish, Orconectes limosus (Raf.). The study is based on data collected between 2016–2018 in various habitats of Astacus astacus and Orconectes limosus in Poland. Visual encounter surveys are at least as effective in assessing the presence of A. astacus as the trapping method. The modal value for the detection time of O. limosus at all sites and all surveys was two minutes. Sample rarefaction showed that one survey covered 11.33 (SD = 0.43) of a maximum of 12 detections per survey. This suggests that, despite some limitations, visual detection might be an efficient method for determining crayfish presence/absence for a wide range of applications.
Modelling Support Mechanism Impact on Electric Vehicle Registration in Latvia
Authors: Gudzuks Gustavs , Cakula Sarma 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Globalization has led to an increased anthropological impact on the climate, and transport is one of the most greenhouse gas (GHG) intensive sectors that is facilitating it. Transport generated around 14 percent of global GHG emissions in 2010. Transport decarbonization is vital for limiting climate change, and electric vehicle (EV) is one of the solutions. EV prevalence in Latvia after Climate Financial Instrument (CCFI) funding has steadily increased and the average yearly EV growth has remained at 0.09 percent among newly registered light-duty passenger vehicles. The aim of this research is to model the impact of different direct and indirect support mechanisms on EV growth in Latvia taking into account the costs of the given support mechanisms. Accordingly, theoretical literature and research on vehicle decarbonization, EV support mechanisms, and barriers were analyzed. In order to obtain the data related to individual attitude towards EVs and their support policies a survey of different age groups was conducted. Based on the theoretical literature, a model was devised using STELLA software. The model was verified and validated. The results of the model indicate that until 2030 direct subsidies of at least 45 percent will have the largest impact on EV registration, while decreasing VAT by at least 9 percent is the most cost-effective option. The results regarding indirect support mechanisms show that free charging and development of charging infrastructure, as well as improvements to EV related technologies would increase EV registration. However, to ensure sustainable support to EVs it is advisable to combine direct incentives with indirect support mechanisms. Combining different policies lowers incentive costs and increases their efficiency.
Performance effects of privatisation: an empirical analysis of telecommunication companies in Germany and Romania
Authors: Bartels Andreas , Weiss Pablo 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
The privatisation of state-owned companies is still on the agenda of many governments worldwide. One often stated goal in the privatisation process is the increase of efficiency of the company.
The question is which factors do lead to an increase in efficiency and performance of a privatised company. Where are the fundamental differences between public and private companies in this respect? One goal of this paper is also to determine if other or additional variables influence the efficiency of privatised companies in transitional countries - in contrast to developed economies. Based on the research literature, a model was developed that displays all major forces and effects in the privatisation process. Two case studies of telecommunications companies in Germany and Romania are utilised to verify the model. It is expected that privatisation will lead to an increase of efficiency, but that the main thrust derives from competition. Regulation and organisational change will typically also increase the efficiency of the company. The variables “laws and policies” and “economic condition” are of special importance for privatisations in transition economies.
NLP tools and processes of motivation

Published: August 2019

Abstract
Neuro-linguistic programming (international acronym: NLP) is a special approach to understanding the communication process, triggering an attitude of curiosity, passion and dedication in studying the ways of improving and developing the behavior of human being, being not only an efficient system for stimulating spiritual evolution and increasing spiritual harmony, but also a great impetus for changing mentalities at the social level. also, it provides many useful means to deal with the real problems of today’s management and leadership. However, the information about NLP presented in the paper should not be interpreted as therapeutic indications, but this does not mean that it may be considered unnecessary.
