Authors: Moura Luiz Rodrigo Cunha , Souki Gustavo Quiroga , Veiga Ricardo Teixeira , Cunha Nina Rosa da Silveira , Fontes Samuel Triginelli 
Published: August 2017

AbstractWater scarcity in Brazil is a reality. Residences in various parts of the country have gone through water rationing through the past years. The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is formed by beliefs, attitudes, subjective norms, perceived control and behavioral intentions in relation to a specific behavior. This theory seeks to identify individuals′ behavioral intentions and, consequently, predict peoples′ behavior. This study aimed to identify the beliefs and attitude components, social norms and perceived control in relation to the behavior of saving water. Twenty-six interviews were supported by a questionnaire related to TPB components. The obtained results indicated the attitudes in terms of saving water are related to economic advantages, in financial terms from cheaper water bills. In addition, there is an advantage to society in the future about the water availability for human use, as well as avoiding rationing and preserving a natural resource that is becoming scarce. Regarding to saving water problems, the need to change habits and the possibility of places and belongings getting dirtier over time has been described. The social norms are current present in the family figure, friends and neighbors mainly. In the case of perceived control, changes of habits, government campaigns and even the client - among other factors - were considered as factors that help or hinder individuals trying to save water.
Destination Branding: A Review of the City Branding Literature
Authors: Kasapi Irisi , Cela Ariana 
Published: August 2017

AbstractWhile there exist studies which attempt to measure the brand equity of cities and countries from a customer perspective, there is little or no evidence regarding a thorough review of the destination branding literature from its inception to date, and more specifically about city branding. The objective of this study is thus to present a review of the literature of city branding, with the main aim of aiding tourism destination researchers who are conducting studies in this particular field. In order to conduct this review, ProQuest (ABI/INFORM) database was utilized, using the terms ‘city branding’ and ‘destination branding’ from 2005 through December 2016, as the review of the literature suggests the first traces of publications documenting 'city branding' studies appeared on 2005. This review serves as a roadmap for researchers in the field of destination branding, as it provides an overview of the concept of branding and its origins, a review of the concepts of place and destination branding who served then as an umbrella to the concept of city branding. Further, attention is devoted to summarizing the studies published on ‘city branding’, providing in this way a valuable contribution for the audience interested in the topic of destination branding, and more specifically its city-related subarea. In light of the review conducted, it is found out that the research field of city branding remains still in its infancy, suggesting that there is still room for further research in this particular area.
Miloš Pietor and Shakespeare’s Historical Chronicles in the Slovak National Theatre
Authors: Sládeček Ján 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
The plays of William Shakespeare, except for Hamlet (Nová scéna, 1974) and Richard III (SND, 1987), do not define the artistic profile of Miloš Pietor, yet they significantly supplement it. Although as a dramaturge he felt at his best in a different repertoire, his several encounters with Shakespeare cannot go unnoticed. They must be examined for complete information about the director’s artistic development, but also about the productions of Shakespeare in Slovakia. Pietor had encountered Shakespeare six times; their seventh encounter was interrupted by the director’s unex pected death. The present paper deals with Pietor’s production of Shakespeare’s historical chronicles for the Slovak National Theatre in the period of 1980-1987.
The Annexation of the Transvaal in 1877: The First Boer Reactions
Authors: Leśniewski Michał 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
In April 1877 The South African Republic was annexed by the British Empire. This was a part of a wider scheme to unify the sub-continent under the British rule. The story is well known. Many works deals with the motives of Lord Carnarvon and other British decision-makers. Much less deals with the question of immediate Boer reaction, or to be exact, the reasons behind their inaction. This article deals with this problem. Tries to evaluate the attitudes of both, the British and the Boers, and to show why the Transvaal Boers mostly ignored the annexation declaration? This text is just an excursion into field which demands much wider and more detailed studies.
Land Reform in the Republic of South Africa: Social Justice or Populism?
Authors: Żukowski Arkadiusz 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
In the paper land reform in South African political discourse will be investigated, especially the process of its politicization. How the topic of land reform is used by political forces, especially the ruling party; the African National Congress and current President Jacob Zuma. Does the Republic of South Africa take a populist turn on land reform or is it some kind of social justice after the suppression of the apartheid era and decades before? The political disputes and decisions will be analysed in confrontations with the fundamentals and values of a democratic state as a guarantee of property rights, private ownership and free market principles (dilemma of the problem of willing buyer - willing seller). It will be necessary to present the historical background of land problem in the RSA. The problem will be investigated in connection with the socio-economic situation of the RSA. The study will also tackle the problem of social and economic inequality from the perspective of politics. In the paper, a mix of primary and secondary research methods of data collection and analysing will be used. Theoretical framework will be based on assumptions of political discourse and the paradigm of “classic” land reform.
The Historical Taboo: Colonial Discourses and Postcolonial Identities in Belgium
Authors: Bobineau Julien 
Published: August 2017

AbstractThis article examines so-called colonial discourses in Belgium related to the former Sub-Saharan colony owned by Leopold II of Belgium which today is known as the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) or the Congo-Kinshasa. Having introduced the colonial history of the DR Congo from the 15thcentury until 1910, the study starts with a discussion of Van den Braembussche’s concept of a ‘historical taboo’ and four ways of engaging with such implicit interdictions. Finally, an empirical analysis of colonial discourses in Belgium from the 1890s until today will be presented in conjunction with Belgium’s linguistic-cultural division, taking into account age-related divergence.

Abstract
The comparative study of the influence of different types of nitriding (ion nitriding and gas nitriding) on the fatigue strength, during the rotating bending fatigue tests of the samples of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, after refinement of grain structure by thermohydrogen treatment was carried out. It was shown that increasing the fatigue strength to σ−1 = 590 MPa, obtained by refinement of grain structure of the samples, decreased after nitriding, remaining at σ−1 = 520 MPa for ion nitriding and σ−1 = 410 MPa for gas nitriding. The reasons of such a decrease were considered.

Abstract
Wheat stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici Eriks. & E. Henn, can incur yield losses in susceptible cultivars of durum wheat, Triticum turgidum ssp. durum (Desf.) Husnot. Although several durum cultivars possess the stem rust resistance gene Sr13, additional genes in durum wheat effective against emerging virulent races have not been described. Durum line 8155-B1 confers resistance against the P. graminis f. sp. tritici race TTKST, the variant race of the Ug99 race group with additional virulence to wheat stem rust resistance gene Sr24. However, 8155-B1 does not confer resistance to the first-described race in the Ug99 race group: TTKSK. We mapped a single gene conferring resistance in 8155-B1 against race TTKST, Sr8155B1, to chromosome arm 6AS by utilizing Rusty/8155-B1 and Rusty*2/8155-B1 populations and the 90K Infinium iSelect Custom bead chip supplemented by KASP assays. One marker, KASP_6AS_IWB10558, cosegregated with Sr8155B1 in both populations and correctly predicted Sr8155B1 presence or absence in 11 durum cultivars tested. We confirmed the presence of Sr8155B1 in cultivar Mountrail by mapping in the population Choteau/Mountrail. The marker developed in this study could be used to predict the presence of resistance to race TTKST in uncharacterized durum breeding lines, and also to combine Sr8155B1 with resistance genes effective to Ug99 such as Sr13. The map location of Sr8155B1 cannot rule out the possibility that this gene is an allele at the Sr8 locus. However, race specificity indicates that Sr8155B1 is different from the known alleles Sr8a and Sr8b.

AbstractAs forward genetic screens in zebrafish become more common, the number of mutants that cannot be identified by gross morphology or through transgenic approaches, such as many nervous system defects, has also increased. Screening for these difficult-to-visualize phenotypes demands techniques such as whole-mount in situ hybridization (WISH) or antibody staining, which require tissue fixation. To date, fixed tissue has not been amenable for generating libraries for whole genome sequencing (WGS). Here, we describe a method for using genomic DNA from fixed tissue and a bioinformatics suite for WGS-based mapping of zebrafish mutants. We tested our protocol using two known zebrafish mutant alleles, gpr126st49 and egr2bfh227, both of which cause myelin defects. As further proof of concept we mapped a novel mutation, stl64, identified in a zebrafish WISH screen for myelination defects. We linked stl64 to chromosome 1 and identified a candidate nonsense mutation in the F-box and WD repeat domain containing 7 (fbxw7) gene. Importantly, stl64 mutants phenocopy previously described fbxw7vu56 mutants, and knockdown of fbxw7 in wild-type animals produced similar defects, demonstrating that stl64 disrupts fbxw7. Together, these data show that our mapping protocol can map and identify causative lesions in mutant screens that require tissue fixation for phenotypic analysis.
A Key Regulator of the Glycolytic and Gluconeogenic Central Metabolic Pathways in Sinorhizobium meliloti

Published: August 2017

Abstract
The order Rhizobiales contains numerous agriculturally, biotechnologically, and medically important bacteria, including the rhizobia, and the genera Agrobacterium, Brucella, and Methylobacterium, among others. These organisms tend to be metabolically versatile, but there has been relatively little investigation into the regulation of their central carbon metabolic pathways. Here, RNA-sequencing and promoter fusion data are presented to show that the PckR protein is a key regulator of central carbon metabolism in Sinorhizobium meliloti; during growth with gluconeogenic substrates, PckR represses expression of the complete Entner–Doudoroff glycolytic pathway and induces expression of the pckA and fbaB gluconeogenic genes. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays indicate that PckR binds an imperfect palindromic sequence that overlaps the promoter or transcriptional start site in the negatively regulated promoters, or is present in tandem upstream the promoter motifs in the positively regulated promoters. Genetic and in vitro electrophoretic mobility shift assay experiments suggest that elevated concentrations of a PckR effector ligand results in the dissociation of PckR from its target binding site, and evidence is presented that suggests phosphoenolpyruvate may function as the effector. Characterization of missense pckR alleles identified three conserved residues important for increasing the affinity of PckR for its cognate effector molecule. Bioinformatics analyses illustrates that PckR is limited to a narrow phylogenetic range consisting of the Rhizobiaceae, Phyllobacteriaceae, Brucellaceae, and Bartonellaceae families. These data provide novel insights into the regulation of the core carbon metabolic pathways of this pertinent group of α-proteobacteria.

Published: August 2017

Esse artigo tem como objetivo investigar sobre os fatores predominantes na escolha dos estudantes pelos Bacharelados Interdisciplinares (BI) da Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA). Para isso foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa exploratória que teve por objetivos investigar se a escolha pelos BI implicava em uma busca vocacional e identificar quais fatores motivaram e influenciaram a escolha pelos cursos. Os resultados dos estudos demonstraram a presença de uma indecisão vocacional/profissional nos estudantes dos Bacharelados Interdisciplinares, bem como um conhecimento mais informal sobre os BI ao ingressar. Por outro lado, muitos entrevistados indicaram interesse prévio nos cursos de progressão linear que caracterizam os de segundo ciclo. Portanto, esse estudo pode contribuir para o fortalecimento e crescimento do modelo de ciclos proposto com a criação dos BI na UFBA, já que mostra sua importância em oferecer uma formação mais ampla, interdisciplinar e oportunizar um tempo maior para escolha vocacional/profissional, o que pode contribuir para uma maior maturidade nesta escolha.

ABSTRAK ANALISIS UJI FUNGSI SISTEM ELEKTRODE IGNITOR UNTUK SUMBER ELEKTRON KATODE PLASMA. Sistem elektrode sumber elektron katode plasma adalah suatu sistem yang berfungsi untuk menghasilkan plasma pulsa di dalam bejana generator plasma secara terkendali. Sistem elektrode terdiri dari sistem elektrode ignitor yang menginisiasi lucutan plasma dan sistem elektrode pembentuk plasma. Sistem elektrode ignitor yang dirancang tersusun dari bahan kuningan dan di depannya diberi penyambung dari bahan magnesium, bahan isolator terbuat dari teflon karena mempunyai nilai resitivitas elektrik yang tinggi (>1018 Ω cm), dan anode dibuat dari bahan SS 304 non magnetik. Bahan magnesium digunakan sebagai katode, karena magnesium mempunyai sifat fisis laju erosi paling rendah (11,7 μg/C) dan energi kohesif yang rendah sekitar 1,51 eV/atom. Dengan demikian semakin besar arus menuju katode akan semakin besar pula lucutan spot plasma yang dihasilkan. Hasil uji fungsi sistem elektrode ignitor diperoleh arus spot plasma 10,58 A dengan lebar pulsa 39 μs. Spesifikasi katode yang digunakan pada sistem elektrode ignitor berbentuk silinder dengan diameter 6 mm dan panjang 20 mm. Untuk frekuensi pengulangan spot plasma 10 Hz, katode akan tererosi dan berkurang sepanjang 17,64 μm, sedangkan untuk katode tererosi membentuk kerucut, maka katode akan berkurang sepanjang 26,46 μm untuk waktu pengujian sumber elektron katode plasma selama 5 jam. Bentuk erosi dari katode dipengaruhi oleh arus spot plasma, lebar pulsa serta kevakuman bejana plasma.

ABSTRAK ANALISA PERMUKAAN MATERIAL ALUMINIUM PADUAN (AlSiCu) HASIL NITRIDASI ION. Paduan aluminium (AlSiCu) merupakan material yang banyak digunakan untuk komponen mesin misalnya piston dan pully karena ringan dengan kekuatan spesifiknya yang tinggi. Kelemahan utama dari paduan ini adalah kekerasan dan kehandalan aus yang rendah. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut dilakukan perlakuan permukaan dengan teknik nitridasi ion untuk meningkatkan kekerasan permukaan maupun kehandalan ausnya. Proses nitridasi ion ini dilakukan dengan berbagai variasi parameter meliputi: lamanya proses, tekanan dan temperatur. Untuk mengetahui hasil proses nitridasi dilakukan analisa struktur mikro dan komposisi unsur, uji keras maupun uji aus baik untuk sampel awal maupun yang telah di nitridasi. Dari hasil pengujian diperoleh bahwa kondisi optimum dari parameter proses dicapai pada lamanya proses 3 jam, tekanan 1,2 mbar dan temperatur 150 °C. Berdasarkan analisa struktur mikro dan unsur untuk hasil nitridasi pada kondisi optimun diperoleh perubahan struktur permukaan akibat terbentuknya senyawa AlN dan Al2O3 dan terdeksi kandungan unsur nitrogen serta oksigen masing masing sebesar 3.95 %/berat dan 29.93%/berat. Untuk uji keras dan aus diperoleh kekerasan permukaan meningkat dari 60,24 VHN untuk material awal menjadi 120,88 V setelan dinitridasi yaitu 2,01 kalinya, keausan turun (ketahan aus meningkat) dari 4,1 × 10-5 mm2/kg menjadi 3 × 10-6 mm2/kg atau terjadi peningkatan ketahan aus sebesar 13.67 kalinya. Dari data tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa peningkatan kekerasan maupun ketahanan aus kemungkinan besar disebabkan oleh terbentuknya senyawa AlN maupun Al2O3. Dari data tersebut juga dapat disimpulkan bahwa dengan meningkatnya kekerasan maupun ketahan aus maka umur pemakaiaan komponen juga meningkat (umur pemakaian lebih lama)

Kontribusi P dari Mikrob Pelarut Fosfat, Fosfat Alam dan Sp-36 yang Ditentukan Menggunakan Teknik Isotop 32P. Teknik isotop 32P dapat digunakan untuk menelusuri prilaku P di dalam tanah dan hubungan tanah-tanaman. Penggunaan 32P memungkinkan untuk merinci kontribusi P dari aktifitas mikrob pelarut fosfat dan pupuk P dalam tanah. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mendapatkan data kuantitatif kontribusi P berasal dari aktifitas mikrob pelarut P (Aspergillus niger dan Burkholderia cepacia), fosfat alam dan SP-36 melalui P yang diserap tanaman menggunakan teknik isotop 32P serta mempelajari pengaruhnya terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman jagung. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa inokulasi mikrob pelarut fosfat, fosfat alam dan SP-36 menghasilkan aktifitas jenis (32P) lebih rendah dari kontrol. Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa seluruh perlakuan mampu menyumbang P bagi tanaman. Perlakuan mikrob pelarut fosfat yang disertai pemberian SP-36 mampu memberikan kontribusi P paling besar, secara signifikan lebih besar dibanding kontrol dan pemberian SP-36 saja. P berasal dari aktifitas mikrob yang dikombinasikan dengan SP-36 adalah sebesar 56.06% - 68.54% pada tanaman umur 50 hari setelah tanam, 51.96% - 59.65% pada brangkasan, 46.33% - 47.70% pada biji dan 53.02% - 59.87% pada tongkol. Selanjutnya, kontribusi P ini secara signifikan mampu mendukung pertumbuhan dan produksi tanaman jagung. Hal ini ditunjukan dengan peningkatkan jumlah daun pada 35 hari setelah tanam, bobot kering tanaman pada umur 50 hari setelah tanam dan bobot kering biji.
