Authors: Mohammed Ahmed , Porru Giovanni 
Published: June 2017

AbstractMotivated by the work [9], in this paper we investigate the infinite boundary value problem associated with the semilinear PDE{Lu=f(u)+h(x)}on bounded smooth domains{\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n}}, whereLis a non-divergence structure uniformly elliptic operator with singular lower-order terms. In the equation,fis a continuous non-decreasing function that satisfies the Keller–Osserman condition, whilehis a continuous function in Ω that may change sign, and which may be unbounded on Ω. Our purpose is two-fold. First we study some sufficient conditions onfandhthat would ensure existence of boundary blow-up solutions of the above equation, in which we allow the lower-order coefficients to be singular on the boundary. The second objective is to provide sufficient conditions onfandhfor the uniqueness of boundary blow-up solutions. However, to obtain uniqueness, we need the lower-order coefficients ofLto be bounded in Ω, but we still allowhto be unbounded on Ω.
Chaotic Laser “Broadcast-Star” Synchronization Network and Its Application in Logic Gates
Authors: Sen Lin Yan 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
A novel network of “broadcast-star” constituted by a few of injection semiconductor laser cells and its synchronization in chaos are presented to apply in logic gates. Chaotic “broadcast-star” synchronization network is achieved in numerical simulation, where a broadcast using an injected laser drives three response systems with three injected lasers as three “stars” to achieve synchronization between the broadcast and stars while the “stars” obtain synchronization between themselves. The synchronization network model and equation are demonstrated. And logic controlling principle and equation are deduced. We create theoretically the constructions of fundamental gates based on the synchronization network in the “stars” and define their computational principle. Logic gate cell or logic computation can be implemented via controlling logic input and output to the system to synchronize or desynchronize appropriately the chaotic states of twin stars. We present and emulate a lot of all-optical XNOR, NOR, NOT, optoelectronic and combinational optoelectronic logic gates via the optical or optoelectronic modulation while we introduce these logic computational methods. Finally, we analyzed effects of resynchronization and desynchronization on logic detection in a practical implementation of the system. Results show the feasibility of the method.

Abstract
Moalla, W, Fessi, MS, Makni, E, Dellal, A, Filetti, C, Di Salvo, V, and Chamari, K. Association of physical and technical activities with partial match status in a soccer professional team. J Strength Cond Res 32(6): 1708–1714, 2018—The purpose of this study was to examine the association between physical and technical activities and partial match status (winning, drawing, or losing) in a professional soccer team over 2 seasons. Physical and technical activities of 52 official matches were collected and analyzed at each 15-minute interval, for each half (45 minutes), and full match (90 minutes) using a multiple-camera computerized tracking system. The results indicated that according to full match outcome: winning status was characterized by players covering more total distance (p ≤ 0.05) and low-intensity running (<14.4 km·h−1) (p ≤ 0.05), whereas, losing status induced more sprinting (≥25.2 km·h−1) (p < 0.01) and high-intensity running (≥19.8 km·h−1) (p ≤ 0.05). However, according to partial match status (i.e., 15 minutes and half time), players covered more distance for all running intensities while winning (p < 0.01). Technical match performance scores were not influenced by match status. In conclusion, the present study showed that the physical activities including high-intensity running and total distance covered were related to the match status, whereas technical activities were not. The overall outcome shows that higher physical activity was associated with winning partial match periods. This approach highlights the importance of physical fitness in soccer and may help coaches to better modulate players' roles and team tactical organization throughout the match.

Abstract
Garcia-Gil, M, Torres-Unda, J, Esain, I, Duñabeitia, I, Gil, SM, Gil, J, and Irazusta, J. Anthropometric parameters, age, and agility as performance predictors in elite female basketball players. J Strength Cond Res 32(6): 1723–1730, 2018—In addition to technical, tactical, and psychological skills, performance in playing basketball depends on anthropometry and physical fitness. However, limited information is available regarding such features in women. We hypothesized that anthropometry and physical fitness are associated with female basketball performance, and consequently, performance could be predicted using the results of certain anthropometric measures and fitness tests. Body parameters (age, height, body mass, skinfold thicknesses, limb perimeters, and lengths) were measured. Physical fitness capacities (jumping, agility with and without the ball, and speed) were measured by specific tests. In addition, game performance was assessed using technical statistics (rebounds, assists, and points) and the performance index rating (PIR). Teams ranked better in the regular season had smaller mean fat skinfold thickness and spent less time in the agility tests (T-Drill). Correlation analyses indicated that players with better PIR were older, taller, and had a longer arm span and greater contracted arm perimeter (CAP). Furthermore, those players had better results in the T-Drill test. Multiple regression analysis indicated that combined age, height, CAP, fat skinfold thickness, and time in T-Drill test yielded a strong predictor of PIR per time played. In conclusion, the results of the present study indicate that some anthropometric and physical fitness characteristics of female elite basketball teams and players are highly associated with performance-related parameters. In addition, a regression model has been developed to predict the performance of female basketball players.

Cholewa, JM, Rossi, FE, MacDonald, C, Hewins, A, Gallo, S, Micenski, A, Norton, L, and Campbell, BI. The effects of moderate- versus high-load resistance training on muscle growth, body composition, and performance in collegiate women. J Strength Cond Res 32(6): 1511–1524, 2018—Twenty young women (20.3 + 1.5 years, 164 + 6 cm, 68.7 + 13.8 kg) without prior structured resistance training experience were recruited for this study. Body composition (BodPod), compartmental water (Bioelectrical Impedance), 7-site skinfold, and arm and thigh cross-sectional area (CSA) were assessed before and after 8-week training. Performance testing consisted of vertical jump, 3-kg chest pass initial velocity, squat 1RM, and overhead press 1RM. After 2 weeks of familiarization training, subjects were matched for body composition and relative squat strength and randomly assigned to either a high-load (HL: n = 10; 4 sets of 5–7 repetitions) or moderate-load (ML: n = 10; 2 sets of 10–14 repetitions) group that completed 6–7 exercises per day performed to momentary muscular failure. Training was divided into 2 lower and one upper body training sessions per week performed on nonconsecutive days for 8 weeks. There were no statistically significant main effects for group or group × time interactions for any variable assessed. Both HL and ML resulted in similar significant increases in lean body mass (1.5 ± 0.83 kg), lean dry mass (1.32 ± 0.62 kg), thigh CSA (6.6 ± 5.6 cm2), vertical jump (2.9 ± 3.2 cm), chest pass velocity (0.334 ± 1.67 m·s−1), back squat one repetition maximum (1RM) (22.5 ± 8.1 kg), and overhead press (3.0 ± 0.8 kg). High-load group and ML group also both resulted in significant decreases in percent body fat (1.3 ± 1.3%), total body water (0.73 ± 0.70 L), and intracellular water (0.43 ± 0.38 L). The results of this study indicate that both moderate-load and high-load training are effective at improving muscle growth, body composition, strength and power in untrained young women.

OBJECTIVES:The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends infant-parent room-sharing until age 1. We assessed the association between room-sharing and sleep outcomes.METHODS:The Intervention Nurses Start Infants Growing on Healthy Trajectories study is an obesity prevention trial comparing a responsive parenting intervention with a safety control among primiparous mother-infant dyads. Mothers completed the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire at 4, 9, 12, and 30 months. Reported sleep duration and overnight behaviors, adjusted for intervention group, were compared among early independent sleepers (own room &lt;4 months), later independent sleepers (own room between 4 and 9 months), and room-sharers at 9 months.RESULTS:At 4 months, reported overnight sleep duration was similar between groups, but compared with room-sharers, early independent sleepers had better sleep consolidation (longest stretch: 46 more minutes, P = .02). At 9 months, early independent sleepers slept 40 more minutes nightly than room-sharers and 26 more minutes than later independent sleepers (P = .008). The longest stretch for early independent sleepers was 100 and 45 minutes more than room-sharers and later independent sleepers, respectively (P = .01). At 30 months, infants sleeping independently by 9 months slept &gt;45 more minutes nightly than those room-sharing at 9 months (P = .004). Room-sharers had 4 times the odds of transitioning to bed-sharing overnight at both 4 and 9 months (P &lt; .01 for both).CONCLUSIONS:Room-sharing at ages 4 and 9 months is associated with less nighttime sleep in both the short and long-term, reduced sleep consolidation, and unsafe sleep practices previously associated with sleep-related death.
Entre a política e o prazer: ditadura, arte e boêmia através do filme Garota de Ipanema (Leon Hirszman, 1967)
Authors: De Pinto Carlos Eduardo Pinto 
Published: June 2017

O artigo aborda, através da análise do filme Garota de Ipanema (Leon Hirszman, 1967) e de seu circuito social, as tensões entre política e prazer no cotidiano do Rio de Janeiro durante a ditadura militar. A releitura de uma canção da Bossa Nova através de um filme que pretendia acompanhar o cotidiano de uma menina de classe média em Ipanema é esperada como um rompimento com os pressupostos do cinema político seguidos até então por seu diretor, um dos expoentes do Cinema Novo brasileiro. Afinal, tanto a Bossa quanto Ipanema eram consideradas metonímias de uma boêmia despolitizada que não se conectava, aparentemente, com a proposta de intervenção da arte na sociedade, seguida pelos cinemanovistas. Ironicamente, o filme decepcionou a crítica, justamente por não ser um bom entretenimento, se propondo a compreender a inserção da protagonista no mundo, inclusive sua relação com a política sob uma ditadura. Desse modo, a análise possibilita pensar as conexões entre ditadura, arte e boêmia no filme e através dele.
A imprensa e a construção da memória do regime militar brasileiro (1965-1985)
Authors: Napolitano Marcos 
Published: June 2017

Neste artigo, pretendo analisar os editoriais de quatro jornais da grande imprensa (O Estado de São Paulo, Folha de São Paulo, Jornal do Brasil e O Globo) nos aniversários anuais do golpe de Estado de 1964, mapeando as vicissitudes da representação sobre este evento e sobre o regime ditatorial que se seguiu. Nesta perspectiva, pretendo analisar as guinadas e revisões da memória liberal sobre o regime militar, partindo da hipótese que foi esta linhagem ideológica que definiu as bases de uma memória hegemônica sobre o período histórico, calcada na “resistência democrática”.

In Southern Italy and Sicily, strawberry cultivation is dominated by international cultivars such as ‘Candonga Sabrosa’, ‘Florida Fortuna’, ‘Sabrina’ and ‘Sant Andreas’. The primary objective of our study was to compare the field performance of two experimental lines and four established cultivars in a Sicilian representative strawberry production area. The second objective was to compare the fruits physic-chemical nutraceutical characteristics of these genotypes in response to different postharvest fruit storage temperatures. A supporting genetic analysis, via SSR markers, was also performed in order to establish genotype correlations. Our study confirmed the high result of ‘Florida Fortuna’ in terms of earliness and productivity and the high performance of ‘Candonga Sabrosa’ in terms of total soluble content and fruit firmness. The new lines ‘PA1’ and ‘PA2’ showed satisfying results. However, the new line ‘PA2’, might deserve particular attention by growers involved in strawberry early fruit production in Mediterranean areas both for its yield performance and fruit quality characteristics. This study also showed that a 4 °C fruit storage temperature treatment for 36 hours positively affects the physical and chemical quality properties of strawberry fruits, whereas overall quality declines at 20 °C storage. According to the genetic characterization, ‘PA2’ was closely related to ‘Candonga Sabrosa’ and ‘Florida Fortuna’.
Ecuador, Plan Colombia y seguridad: una impredecible vecindad
Authors: García Gallegos Bertha 
Published: June 2017

Durante mucho tiempo, Colombia y Ecuador compartieron su mutua frontera con una confianza tal que no necesitó de reglas ni acuerdos institucionales, salvo en los temas de rigor previstos por las relaciones entre estados. Esta situación contrastó evidentemente con lo que ocurría en la frontera sur con el Perú, donde cualquier incidente podría desatar desentendimiento y sospechas que agudizaran el viejo conflicto territorial(*). Especialmente en la región central del norte ecuatoriano y el sur colombiano, esta confianza se tejió con profundas raíces históricas y sociales (Ecuador y Colombia compartieron en la colonia y en los primeros años de la República un territorio y una administración política común) no solo a través de un entramado de lazos de parentesco sino dentro de una verdadera cultura (la cultura “pastuza”) Esta comprendía desde un particular y común acento al hablar el idioma español, dichos y sabiduría popular, costumbres culinarias, hasta una complicada red de contrabando forjada a vista y paciencia de todos, acuciada, primero por el mayor grado de industrialización del vecino del norte y después por la exuberante producción agrícola de las provincias del Carchi e Imbabura que pasaba por el cordón fronterizo para aliviar los precios altos de la canasta colombiana. Esta red de contrabando, al menos en el caso ecuatoriano, fue matizada pintorescamente por la corrupción criolla vinculada al populismo1. A partir de la era petrolera la frontera cultural, la confianza y el desvergonzado contrabando, se extendieron hacia la Amazonia.
La formación integral. Mito y realidad

Published: June 2017

El ser y el hacer de la Universidad como institución que satisface las necesidades de profesionalización de los países, como espacio de mejoramiento de los niveles de cultura general de la población y como instancia de formación de una elite para el desarrollo de la ciencia y la tecnología, requiere ser replanteado en el marco de los nuevos escenarios que afectan la efectividad de las instituciones, caracterizados por la globalidad, la movilidad, la flexibilidad, la complejidad y el impacto de la revolución científico-técnica en los modos de producción del conocimiento, en las dinámicas de aprendizaje y en la forma de relacionar las funciones sustantivas de las instituciones de educación superior. Los componentes tradicionales del concepto de universidad, aquellos que hacen parte de su historia milenaria, necesitan una interpretación que concilie la "idea de universidad" que forjaron los clásicos del pensamiento universitario, con las demandas actuales de sociedades que se asoman al próximo milenio sin haber resuelto su problema estructural de inequidad en la distribución de los bienes, con las consecuencias que de ello se derivan para las formas de organización de la sociedad, para sus estructuras jurídico - políticas y las diversas formas de la conciencia social. La Universidad como espacio de investigación, de formación humana y de apoyo solidario a la sociedad global puede seguir teniendo vigencia si, más allá de sus enunciados retóricos, se logra convertir tales funciones en propósitos precisos.

Tomografía: más allá de las aplicaciones médicas
Authors: Gavilánez Franklin 
Published: June 2017

Tomography using CT scans and MRI scans is now well-known as a medical diagnostic tool which allows for detection of tumors and other abnormalities in a noninvasive way, providing very detailed images of the inside of the body using low dosage X-rays and magnetic fields. They have both also been used for determination of material defects in moderate size objects. In medical and other applications they complement conventional tomography. There are many situations where one wants to monitor the electrical conductivity of different portions of an object, for instance, to find out whether a metal object, possibly large, has invisible cracks. This kind of tomography, usually called Electrical Impedance Tomography or EIT, has also medical applications like monitoring of blood flow. While CT and MRI are related to Euclidean geometry, EIT is closely related to hyperbolic geometry. A question that has arisen in the recent past is whether there is similar "topographic" method to monitor the "health" of networks. Our objective is to explain how EIT ideas can in fact effectively be used in this context.

Las medias verdades que dificultan las soluciones

<div id="cke_pastebin">Las medias verdades son afirmaciones que contienen elementos ceñidos a la realidad, pero que son premisas incompletas. Su parte de veracidad hace que puedan convencer fácilmente en el corto plazo. Los profesionales de la publicidad conocen muy bien el manejo de las medias verdades, ya que ellos magnifican sólo ciertos aspectos de los productos ofrecidos. Otros personajes hábiles en este juego son los políticos en campaña electoral. Su lenguaje a menudo es demagógico, es decir, está más orientado a halagar al pueblo que a informarle correctamente. Para hacerse aceptables dicen lo que a la gente le encanta escuchar, pero callan los aspectos desagradables o dolorosos de asumir. Por ello, cuando llegan al poder, después de cierto tiempo, son tildados de mentirosos. En el caso de la disponibilidad de recursos para alimentar a la humanidad, circula una cantidad de medias verdades que no resultan para nada inocuas, porque orientan la búsqueda de soluciones en direcciones equivocadas.</div>
