Estimating energetics in cetaceans from respiratory frequency: why we need to understand physiology

Published: March 2016

ABSTRACTThe accurate estimation of field metabolic rates (FMR) in wild animals is a key component of bioenergetic models, and is important for understanding the routine limitations for survival as well as individual responses to disturbances or environmental changes. Several methods have been used to estimate FMR, including accelerometer-derived activity budgets, isotope dilution techniques, and proxies from heart rate. Counting the number of breaths is another method used to assess FMR in cetaceans, which is attractive in its simplicity and the ability to measure respiration frequency from visual cues or data loggers. This method hinges on the assumption that over time a constant tidal volume (VT) and O2 exchange fraction (ΔO2) can be used to predict FMR. To test whether this method of estimating FMR is valid, we measured breath-by-breath tidal volumes and expired O2 levels of bottlenose dolphins, and computed the O2 consumption rate (V̇O2) before and after a pre-determined duration of exercise. The measured V̇O2 was compared with three methods to estimate FMR. Each method to estimate V̇O2 included variable VT and/or ΔO2. Two assumption-based methods overestimated V̇O2 by 216-501%. Once the temporal changes in cardio-respiratory physiology, such as variation in VT and ΔO2, were taken into account, pre-exercise resting V̇O2 was predicted to within 2%, and post-exercise V̇O2 was overestimated by 12%. Our data show that a better understanding of cardiorespiratory physiology significantly improves the ability to estimate metabolic rate from respiratory frequency, and further emphasizes the importance of eco-physiology for conservation management efforts.

Published: March 2016

The paper presents the experience of the Volgograd State Pedagogical University in elaborating the assessment tools stock for the basic university
educational programs for the current, midterm and end-of-course assessment. The role of disciplinary and interdisciplinary assessment toolkits in the
structure of the basic university curriculum is defi ned. Also suggested is the author�s vision on how the assessment toolkits should be structured and
also the techniques for developing such toolkits. Based on the specifi c examples, the authors show some possible approaches to assessing the level of
students� competences formedness in the course of the current, midterm and end-of course certifying in the higher school institutions. The features,
indicating various levels of competencies formedness are described. The technology for development of the End-of-Course Assessment Program is
presented. The paper is focused mainly on the new approaches to selecting appropriate assessment tools for the state exam. Potential problems, arising
while developing the assessment tools for the end-of-term exam on the �Education and Pedagogy� training program are identifi ed. Also presented are
the examples of practice-oriented assignments, allowing, on the authors� opinion, to identify the level of formedness of the professionally signifi cant
competences.

The main innovative directions in the system of higher education are considered. Analyzed are the innovative models and technologies of training. Also
characterized is the modular system of training as kind of innovation. The main feature of the modular training is systematic: system maintenance; alternation
of informative and educational and professional parts of the module; systemic control. As a result, signifi cantly improved the quality of training
of future specialists in terms of formation and development of an eff ective system of his knowledge and skills in a holistic individualized approach to
the student&#180;s personality, creating the conditions for its independence, the formation of the teacher an atmosphere conducive to improving students&#180;
motivation.
Cognitive activity of a student does not just happen, it is the result of the content and teaching methods - active, intensive and problematic. But it is also
important to create such psychological and pedagogical conditions in which a student can take an active personal position and to fully manifest himself
as the subject of learning activities.
On Culture-General Training of Master�s Degree Students at Higher Pedagogical Institutions
Authors: ���������  , Elkanova B. 
Published: March 2016

The ongoing reforms of the Russia�s educational system call for improvements in the system of higher education. Thus there is a critical need to provide the
theoretical and methodological basis for training Master�s degree students, and particularly for the culture-general training. Meanwhile the Federal State
Educational Standard of the 3rd generation does not describe in detail the concept of culture-general training of Master�s students, providing only the set
of general cultural competencies, which students are required to develop to graduate with the Master�s degree. As higher education institutions are free to
set up their own mechanisms of culture-general training, the author emphasizes, that she and her colleagues place a particular focus on culture-general
training of Master�s degree students attending the higher pedagogical institutions, because the graduates would not become valued society members,
unless they have mastered and enhanced the whole range of culture-general competencies.

The paper considers, how to adapt requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard of the 3rd generation to the educational process, conducted
at the clinical Department of Cardiovascular surgery and cardiology, the Faculty of Professional Development and Re-Training, SBEI of HPE �Kuban
State Medical University�. The issue of training operating cardiovascular surgeons under the conditions, when approaches to training and teaching
at the higher school have changed is considered. The authors suggest the option of learning and teaching support for the educational activities of a
Department, which are in tune with the new requirements and conducive to training the knowledgeable clinicians. Special emphasis is put on the process
of developing culture-general competencies of meta-subject and creative nature in resident medical practitioners. Considered is the idea of critical and
creative application of the construct, already at hand in the pedagogical theory and international practice and helpful for assessing the level of personal
culture-general development of a to-be-professional.
Technical power and human impotence
Authors: Vanderburg Willem H. 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
The article presents an overview of a five-volume study of the transition of our civilization from a primary reliance on approaches to human knowing and doing based on symbolization and culture to a primary reliance on approaches organizing this knowing and doing by means of disciplines, which has taken us well beyond rationality and technique as a result of desymbolization. It is undermining our being a symbolic species by reifying human lives and communities while creating ways of life that cannot be sustained by the biosphere. These developments have significantly affected the roles of the old and new media in our lives.
Questions concerning Ge-Stell: Heideggerian confrontations with technology
Authors: Gilchrist Brian 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
Martin Heidegger (1889–1976) gained a reputation as one of the most significant and perhaps infamous continental philosophers of the twentieth century. This article addresses the following question: how did Heidegger’s confrontations with ge-stell articulate an approach for contemporary human beings to resist technological domination? Ge-Stell refers to Heidegger’s term for the essence of technology. The essence of technology represents the presupposition that technology provides a means for human beings to dominate nature and to establish a system for ordering the world according to perspectives driven by technology. First, ge-stell is noted as Heidegger’s term that described the essence of technology. Ge-Stell functioned as a paradigm in which human beings accepted technology as the source for answers to all questions and for solutions to all problems about existence. Second, Heidegger’s embrace of Nazism is interpreted as his first attempt to confront ge-stell and to enact a metaphysical revolution in Germany. Third, thinking poetically is positioned as Heidegger’s most successful way for human beings to resist technological domination. Heidegger’s call to thinking represents a bottom-up approach to enact social change that empowers each person to resist ge-stell on an individual basis.
The body electric in the age of virtual reality and transhumanism: Forces changing the West’s notions of self, identity and humanness
Authors: Scott Robert B. 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
This article begins by exploring the relationships connecting Walt Whitman’s ‘body electric’, Marshall McLuhan’s ‘discarnate man [sic]’ and Neil Postman’s ‘citizen of technopoly’. It then examines the disruptive effects that electric technologies have had on western culture’s notions of ‘self’, ‘identity’ and particularly ‘the body’, especially the development of Virtual Reality systems, social networking and transhuman technologies over the past three decades. A survey of new wearable and immersive devices, advances in artificial intelligence, and invasive biotechnical procedures reveals increasingly questionable attempts to replace the human body by machines. These endeavours are supported, notably, by some of the world’s wealthiest investors in artificial intelligence and biotechnology, statesmen, media barons and members of the military – the forces of technopoly. The article concludes that, despite the efforts to replicate, improve or even replace it, the body is essential to our humanness.
Postman’s loving resistance fighter and Ellul’s Christian anarchy as counters to technopoly
Authors: Grosswiler Paul 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
Neil Postman and Jacques Ellul both critiqued a media culture dominated by technique, or technology, although each had a different name for it. Postman called it ‘technopoly’; Ellul called it ‘technological society’ long before. As different as the names were their proposed stances to combat it. Postman wrote fleetingly of the ‘loving resistance fighter’, Ellul of the ‘Christian anarchist’. The former was a more individualized, education-based response, the latter a political, activist response. This article compares their responses and offers a synthesis of the two, ‘the media ecology education anarchist’ in an attempt to mesh the strengths of each approach.

State Traditions and Language Regimes: A Historical Institutionalism Approach to Language Policy
Authors: Sonntag Selma K. , Cardinal Linda 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
This paper is an elaboration of a theoretical framework we developed in the introductory chapter of our co-edited volume, State Traditions and Language Regimes (McGill-Queen’s University Press, 2015). Using a historical institutionalism approach derived from political science, we argue that language policies need to be understood in terms of their historical and institutional context. The concept of ‘state tradition’ focuses our attention on the relative autonomy of the state in terms of its normative and institutional traditions that lead to particular path dependencies of language policy choices, subject to change at critical junctures. ‘Language regime’ is the conceptual link between state traditions and language policy choices: it allows us to analytically conceptualize how and why these choices are made and how and why they change. We suggest that our framework offers a more robust analysis of language politics than other approaches found in sociolinguistics and normative theory. It also challenges political science to become more engaged with scholarly debate on language policy and linguistic diversity.
Differences in basal DNA damage in blood cells from men and women

Published: March 2016

AbstractWe have recently shown that inhabitants of two polluted areas in Kosovo display more DNA damage (strand breaks in blood cell DNA) than do residents of a cleaner area. Here, we present additional analyses of these data and discuss additional data sets from Kosovo. Based on our data as well as the available data from other authors, age and sex-related differences in DNA damage or in susceptibility to DNA-damaging agents in the environment should be carefully considered when designing biomonitoring studies and when carrying out statistical analysis of the data.
The Soliton-Ricci Flow with variable volume
forms
Authors: Pali Nefton 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
We introduce a flow of Riemannian metrics and positive volume forms over compact oriented manifolds
whose formal limit is a shrinking Ricci soliton. The case of a fixed volume form has been considered in
our previouswork.We still call this new flow, the Soliton-Ricci flow. It corresponds to a forward Ricci type flow
up to a gauge transformation. This gauge is generated by the gradient of the density of the volumes. The new
Soliton-Ricci flow exist for all times. It represents the gradient flow of Perelman’s W functional with respect to
a pseudo-Riemannian structure over the space of metrics and normalized positive volume forms. We obtain
an expression of the Hessian of the W functional with respect to such structure. Our expression shows the
elliptic nature of this operator in the orthogonal directions to the orbits obtained by the action of the group of
diffeomorphism. In the case that initial data is Kähler, the Soliton-Ricci flow over a Fano manifold preserves
the Kähler condition and the symplectic form. Over a Fano manifold, the space of tamed complex structures
embeds naturally, via the Chern-Ricci map, into the space of metrics and normalized positive volume forms.
Over such space the pseudo-Riemannian structure restricts to a Riemannian one. We perform a study of the
sign of the restriction of the Hessian of the W functional over such space. This allows us to obtain a finite
dimensional reduction of the stability problem for Kähler-Ricci solitons. This reduction represents the solution
of this well known problem. A less precise and less geometric version of this result has been obtained
recently by the author in [28].
Comparison of an ultra-low volume (ULV) sprayer against a conventional sprayer, for foliar fertiliser and fungicide applications in turfgrass

Published: March 2016

AbstractTwo field studies (I and II) at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln: John Seaton Anderson Turfgrass Research Facility near Mead, NE, USA, were conducted to determine if a new ultra-low volume (ULV) sprayer can apply foliar nutrient, growth regulator, and fungicide treatments, in a manner similar to that of a conventional sprayer. Treatments were applied over creeping bentgrass ‘L-93’ (Agrostis stolonifera L.) managed as a fairway at 561 l · ha−1and 47 l · ha−1with the conventional and ULV sprayer, respectfully. Data were collected for chlorophyll content with a chlorophyll meter, and for the normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI) with a turf colour meter. Each plot was harvested for biomass at 21 days after treatment. Study II compared the ULV sprayer and a conventional sprayer, for the control of brown patch (Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn) in creeping bentgrass. The treatments were propiconazole and azoxystrobin. Spray volume was 561 l · ha−1for the conventional sprayer, and 19 l · ha−1for the ULV sprayer. Statistical differences in turf quality or dry weight reductions between the conventional and ULV sprayer were not detected. Brown patch control was also similar between the two sprayers, but azoxystrobin provided better control than propiconazole. Even with a 30-fold decrease in application volume, the results indicated that the Kamterter ULV sprayer may be a useful and effective management option for foliar fertiliser and fungicide applications in turfgrass.
What is Late Biblical Hebrew?
Authors: Fassberg Steven E. 
Published: March 2016

AbstractLate Biblical Hebrew is the literary language preserved in the post-exilic books of the Hebrew Bible. It differs from the literary Hebrew of the First Temple period, Classical Biblical Hebrew, in several orthographic, grammatical, syntactic, and lexical features. The distinction between pre-exilic and post-exilic language in the Hebrew of the Bible contradicts the assertion of the minimalists, who argue for the late date of the composition of the Hebrew Bible. The linguistic examination of Biblical Hebrew reveals an unmistakable difference between the language of the First Temple period and the language of the Second Temple period.
The Wave-like Motion of the »Song of the Sea« (Ex 15,1–18) and the People of Israel as a Worshipping Community
Authors: van der Lugt Pieter 
Published: March 2016

AbstractIt is argued that, from a thematic point of view, the »Song of the Sea« (Ex 15,1–18) has a linearly alternating design, a wave-like motion: explicit praises of God alternate with portrayals of the fate of the enemies. This design coincides with a pattern of linearly alternating verbal recurrences. The design is also supported by a strict regularity in terms of cantos and strophes: vv. 1–2.3–5 | 6–8.9–10 | 11–13.14–16b | 16c–18 > A.B|A’.B’|A’’.B’’|A’’’ > 3.3 | 3.3 | 3.3 | 3 > 6.6.6.3 lines of poetry.
