ABSTRACT
LOFAR, the Low-Frequency Array, is a powerful new radio telescope operating between 10 and 240 MHz. LOFAR allows detailed sensitive high-resolution studies of the low-frequency radio sky. At the same time LOFAR also provides excellent short baseline coverage to map diffuse extended emission. However, producing high-quality deep images is challenging due to the presence of direction-dependent calibration errors, caused by imperfect knowledge of the station beam shapes and the ionosphere. Furthermore, the large data volume and presence of station clock errors present additional difficulties. In this paper we present a new calibration scheme, which we name facet calibration, to obtain deep high-resolution LOFAR High Band Antenna images using the Dutch part of the array. This scheme solves and corrects the direction-dependent errors in a number of facets that cover the observed field of view. Facet calibration provides close to thermal noise limited images for a typical 8 hr observing run at

Redescription of the little-known grasshopper Willemsella (Acrididae, Hemiacridinae) from Peninsular Malaysia
Authors: Tan Ming Kai , Kamaruddin Khairul 
Published: March 2016

Catantopinae is a huge subfamily and is in need of a major revision. We contribute to the taxonomy of the subfamily by reviewing one poorly known genus, Willemsella Miller, 1934. This is a monotypic genus so far found only in Peninsular Malaysia.
Rediscovery and new locality records of the species was reported here. The species is redescribed in accordance to modern criteria of taxonomy. Male phallic complex is also described for the first time. The subfamily position of the species is also verified and is more correctly placed under Hemiacridinae.

Published: March 2016

The Cerambycidae are one of the largest beetle families. Cerambycid beetles are found on all continents, but the tropics are extremely rich in this species. The genus Criodion (Audinet-Serville, 1833) includes 13 species in the Neotropical Region, two of which occur in Central America. Panama has a high biodiversity, yet a small number of sites have been extensively studied. In this contribution, new distributional data are given for C. cinereum (Olivier, 1795) and C. tuberculatum Gahan, 1892.
Two species of the genus Criodion (Audinet-Serville, 1833) are recorded for first time in Panama, Criodion cinereum (Olivier, 1795) and Criodion tuberculatum Gahan, 1892. Relevant details are presented for each species.

La reivindicación democrática a través de las viñetas. Las temáticas del humor gráfico en el periódico vasco Egin (1977)
Authors: Castañeda Zumeta Aitor , Pineda-Martínez Paula 
Published: March 2016

El estudio pretende identificar las temáticas empleadas en las tiras cómicas del periódico vasco Egin (1977/98) durante el primer año de su existencia. El diario, de tendencia “abertzale”, resultó de gran impacto en la sociedad vasca de la Transición por ser el primero en encuadrarse plenamente en aquel espectro social de la izquierda, y por dedicar toda una página al humor gráfico. Metodología. Se lleva a cabo un análisis temático de las tiras cómicas que se encuentran en la página de entretenimiento del diario durante todo 1977. Del mismo modo, se emplean técnicas cuantitativas para medir la frecuencia de las temáticas identificadas. Resultados y conclusiones. Los resultados muestran una clara preferencia de los autores por los temas relacionados con la reivindicación democrática, así como la muestra de un contrapunto entre las tesis del nacionalismo vasco tradicional contra un nuevo nacionalismo que se está gestando a través de la izquierda.
Anti-Money Laundering Regulations and the Effective Use of Mobile Money in South Africa – Part 2
Authors: Kersop M , Du Toit SF 
Published: March 2016

Mobile financial services, specifically mobile money, has the potential to expand access to financial services to millions of unbanked people in South Africa. As such, it looks very promising in terms of financial inclusion. However, concerns exist that mobile money can be detrimental to financial integrity since there are several proven risk factors linked to mobile financial services. These risk factors make mobile money very susceptible to money laundering. The potential for abuse and the need for appropriate controls is therefore something which cannot be ignored. While the South African legislator has made provision for comprehensive anti-money laundering preventative measures by means of the Financial Intelligence Centre Act 38 of 2001, there exists no South African legislation explicitly concerned with mobile money. It is therefore difficult to determine what the regulatory stance is in terms of mobile money in South Africa. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is, however, currently focusing attention on the effect which mobile money may have on financial integrity. The latest FATF Recommendations make provision for several anti-money laundering controls which are specifically applicable to mobile money, including controls regarding money or value transfer services and new technologies. While it is always difficult to balance financial integrity and financial inclusion, the risk-based approach makes it possible for governments to implement effective antimoney laundering measures, thereby preserving financial integrity, without the need to compromise on financial inclusion objectives. The fact that South Africa has not fully adopted a risk-based approach is a problem which needs to be addressed if mobile money is to deliver on its promises for financial inclusion, without being detrimental to financial integrity.
Linking biogeochemistry to hydro-geometrical variability in tidal estuaries: a generic modeling approach
Authors: Volta Chiara , Laruelle Goulven Gildas , Arndt Sandra , Regnier Pierre 
Published: March 2016

Abstract. This study applies the Carbon-Generic Estuary Model (C-GEM) modeling platform to simulate the estuarine biogeochemical dynamics – in particular the air–water CO2 exchange – in three idealized tidal estuaries characterized by increasing riverine influence, from a so-called "marine estuary" to a "riverine estuary". An intermediate case called "mixed estuary" is also considered. C-GEM uses a generic biogeochemical reaction network and a unique set of model parameters extracted from a comprehensive literature survey to perform steady-state simulations representing average conditions for temperate estuaries worldwide. Climate and boundary conditions are extracted from published global databases (e.g., World Ocean Atlas, GLORICH) and catchment model outputs (GlobalNEWS2). The whole-system biogeochemical indicators net ecosystem metabolism (NEM), C and N filtering capacities (FCTC and FCTN, respectively) and CO2 gas exchanges (FCO2) are calculated across the three idealized systems and are related to their main hydrodynamic and transport characteristics. A sensitivity analysis, which propagates the parameter uncertainties, is also carried out, followed by projections of changes in the biogeochemical indicators for the year 2050. Results show that the average C filtering capacities for baseline conditions are 40, 30 and 22 % for the marine, mixed and riverine estuary, respectively, while N filtering capacities, calculated in a similar fashion, range from 22 % for the marine estuary to 18 and 15 % for the mixed and the riverine estuaries. Sensitivity analysis performed by varying the rate constants for aerobic degradation, denitrification and nitrification over the range of values reported in the literature significantly widens these ranges for both C and N. Simulations for the year 2050 suggest that all estuaries will remain largely heterotrophic, although a slight improvement of the estuarine trophic status is predicted. In addition, our results suggest that, while the riverine and mixed systems will only marginally be affected by an increase in atmospheric pCO2, the marine estuary is likely to become a significant CO2 sink in its downstream section. In the decades to come, such a change in behavior might strengthen the overall CO2 sink of the estuary–coastal ocean continuum.
Indian Ocean Dipole modulated wave climate of eastern Arabian Sea

Published: March 2016

Abstract. Intrinsic modes of variability have a significant role in driving the climatic oscillations in the oceanic processes. In this paper, we investigate the influence of an inter-annual mode of variability, the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), on the wave climate of the eastern Arabian Sea (AS). Using measured, modeled and reanalysis wave data and reanalysis wind data, we show that the IOD plays a major role in the variability of wave climate of the study region. Due to the IOD-induced changes in equatorial sea surface temperature and sea level pressure, the winds from the northern AS gets modified and cause inter-annual variability in the wave climate over the eastern AS. The changes in wind field over the AS due to the IOD influence the generation or dissipation of the wave field and hence cause a decrease in northwest short-period waves during positive IOD and an increase during negative IOD.
Perfumes, Aromatics, and Purple Dye: Phoenician Trade and Production in the Greco-Roman Period
Authors: Frangié-Joly Dina 
Published: March 2016

ABSTRACTThis article examines the Phoenician contribution to the aromatic, perfume, and purple dye industries and resultant commerce during the Hellenistic and Roman periods. Although the archaeological record is still limited, many other sources—mainly textual—show that both Phoenicia and the Phoenicians were active participants in the production and trade of these commodities.
A Demythologized Auto/Biography: Beginnings and Evolution of Metabiography in Feminine Postmodern Fiction
Authors: Zekri Souhir 
Published: March 2016

The postmodern features of English fiction like fragmentation and metafictionality seem to find an equivalent in life writing and metabiography. Such instances of metabiography either expose the protagonist in the process of writing a biography or memoir, and/or include extracts of life writings which are textually incorporated in their original format. The aim of this paper is first to explore the structural characteristics of metabiography and its evolution from a theme to a structure/form, through Henry James’s The Aspern Papers (1888), A.S. Byatt’s The Biographer’s Tale (2000) and Marina Warner’s fiction. As Richard Holmes explains, “the boundaries between fact and fiction have become controversial and perilous” (16), boundaries which are crossed by Warner and Byatt, both postmodern female novelists who rely on the plurality of voices and textual collage instead of the conventional omniscient narrator and the linear narrative represented by James. Second, the focus will be on the strategies combining the aesthetic with the ethical, or “the political desire to write the histories of the marginalised, the forgotten, the unrecorded” (Byatt On Histories 10-11) through metabiographical autobiographies and diaries in Warner’s Indigo and The Lost Father. The life writing themes treated in these novels are also studied in relation to the modernist and postmodernist views of reality, history and representation which they reflect.

The Stranger in the Self. Hofmannsthal’s Relationship to Jewishness
Authors: Osterle David 
Published: March 2016

This articles examines Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s changing view on his own Jewish origins from a biographical perspective. In his youth Hofmannsthal not only repeatedly expressed sympathy for the Jews and their plights but also antipathy towards Roman Catholicism. However, the poet’s views got increasingly skeptical towards his great grandfather’s religion from the mid-1890s onwards. This shift of opinion needs to be seen in the context of continued migration of ethnic groups within the multi-ethnic Habsburg empire, especially of Jews and Slavs from Galicia, who were perceived as a threat by large parts of the rest of the population. With recourse to Michel Foucault (Of Other Spaces) Hofmannsthal’s increasing identification with the Catholic culture of the Habsburg monarchy and the suppression of his Jewish heritage can be interpreted as a dialectical process of appropriation and resistance. This article discusses the question, if the poet’s creative biographical engagement with prominent figures of the Habsburg monarchy such as Prince Eugen and Empress Maria Theresa became a surrogate for Hofmannsthal’s own troubled and therefore unwritten history. This article was submitted to the European Journal of Life Writing on March 6th 2015, and published on February 21st 2016.
Designing Public Radio in Canada
Authors: Windover Michael 
Published: March 2016

Cet article examine une station de transmission de la Société Radio-Canada qui a ouvert ses portes à Watrous, en Saskatchewan, en 1939. Le bâtiment est vite devenu un phare de modernité, correspondant ainsi à la présence visuelle des postes de radio dans les maisons ou publicités. Notre étude met en lumière les différents registres matériels et spatiaux du système de radiocommunication — de l’espace intime de la maison à l’architecture institutionnelle. Notre analyse de la conception du bâtiment révèle ses liens avec le paysage (réel et représenté) ainsi qu’avec les notions complexes de lieu (matériel et immatériel). Nous soutenons que les études de design offrent une façon unique et significative d’aborder l’histoire des médias, dans laquelle ces derniers sont conceptualisés en termes de matérialité et comme éléments constituants de la société.
Drawing Out Illustration History in Canada
Authors: Grove Jaleen 
Published: March 2016

Cette historiographie critique documente la réception des illustrateurs canadiens anglophones par l’histoire de l’art, la cultural theory, la politique culturelle et les collections institutionnelles, de la fin du dix-neuvième siècle au présent. Nous montrons que la préservation de la culture visuelle canadienne a été biaisée en faveur d’un agenda culturel nationaliste qui a mis à l’écart la majorité de la culture visuelle populaire illustrée et qui, par ailleurs, a négligé l’héritage culturel états-unien en faveur des liens avec la Grande-Bretagne. En outre, à cause du manque d’espace pour des archives et des expositions, d’importantes collections d’illustration attendent urgemment un foyer, et les archives existantes sont incapables de gérer les fonds existants. Avec une méthodologie guidée par la pratique, nous proposons un centre de recherche idéal pour l’histoire graphique canadienne qui serait opéré sur un modèle d’affaires autarcique.
Screening Instruments for the Early Detection of Cognitive Impairment in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis

Published: March 2016

Background: Cognitive impairments are common in individuals with MS and adversely affect functioning. Early detection of cognitive impairment, therefore, would enable earlier, and possibly more effective, treatment. We sought to compare self-reports with a short neuropsychological test as possible screening tools for cognitive impairment.
Methods: One hundred patients with MS were tested with the Minimal Assessment of Cognitive Function in Multiple Sclerosis; z scores were used to derive the Cognitive Index (CI). Receiver operator characteristic curve analyses were performed, with criteria for impairment set at −1.5 and −2.0 SD below the mean. Scores from two self-reports (the Multiple Sclerosis Neuropsychological Screening Questionnaire–Patient Version and the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function–Adult Version [BRIEF-A]) and a neuropsychological test (the Symbol Digit Modalities Test [SDMT]) were entered as test variables. Exploratory regression analyses were conducted with 1) CI and self-reports and 2) CI and the Problem-Solving Inventory (PSI).
Results: Classification accuracy was high or moderately high for SDMT when the criterion was −2.0 or −1.5 SD, respectively, but low for the self-reports. Hierarchical linear regression showed that the SDMT alone was the best predictor of cognitive impairment; adding the self-reports did not improve the model. Exploratory analyses indicated that certain self-reports (BRIEF-A, PSI) provided some explanatory power in separate models.
Conclusions: The SDMT is a more accurate screening tool for cognitive impairment; however, self-reports provide additional information and may complement objective testing. Results suggest that screening for cognitive impairment may require a multidimensional approach.
Emergence of heat extremes attributable to anthropogenic influences

Published: March 2016

AbstractClimate scientists have demonstrated that a substantial fraction of the probability of numerous recent extreme events may be attributed to human‐induced climate change. However, it is likely that for temperature extremes occurring over previous decades a fraction of their probability was attributable to anthropogenic influences. We identify the first record‐breaking warm summers and years for which a discernible contribution can be attributed to human influence. We find a significant human contribution to the probability of record‐breaking global temperature events as early as the 1930s. Since then, all the last 16 record‐breaking hot years globally had an anthropogenic contribution to their probability of occurrence. Aerosol‐induced cooling delays the timing of a significant human contribution to record‐breaking events in some regions. Without human‐induced climate change recent hot summers and years would be very unlikely to have occurred.
Stochastic secular trends in sea level rise
Authors: Ocaña Victor , Zorita Eduardo , Heimbach Patrick 
Published: March 2016

AbstractGlobal mean sea level (GMSL) has been rising since (at least) the nineteenth century and the rate of rise may be increasing. Several studies that attempt to explain the long‐term trend of GMSL during the instrumental record share the common assumption that this trend is deterministic in nature and different from natural variations. Here we show that the trend can alternatively be explained, at least in part, as being caused by random variations within the coupled ocean‐atmosphere‐cryosphere system, and hence not having a deterministic origin. These random trends, which add to externally forced changes (e.g., through anthropogenic climate change), are a consequence of the integrated character of GMSL, which is the cumulative addition of temporal contributions that exhibit random character, and whose integration results in GMSL variations with persistence on decadal‐centennial time scales. The generation of trends by integration of random stationary noise (i.e., even in a constant climate) is a robust and fundamental feature of stochastically forced systems with memory. The integrated character of GMSL results in an intrinsic difficulty in distinguishing internal from externally forced trends.
Observations of wave dispersion and attenuation in landfast ice
Authors: Sutherland Graig , Rabault Jean 
Published: March 2016

AbstractObservations of wave propagation in landfast ice were obtained in Tempelfjorden, Svalbard during March 2015. Wave motion was measured near the ice edge using inertial motion units and consisted of a combination of swell from the North Atlantic and wind‐generated waves. The waves were observed to be unidirectional in the ice with comparable magnitudes in the vertical and horizontal displacements. The dispersion relation was calculated from the measured phase difference between two adjacent sensors separated by a distance of approximately 60 m. Deviations from the gravity wave dispersion relation were observed during the growth phase of the waves and were consistent with the presence of flexural waves. This period of wave growth was accompanied by significant wave attenuation in the high frequency portion of the wave spectrum which persisted for 3–5 h.
