Abstract. Reliable and timely information on the environmental conditions at sea is key to the safety of professional and recreational users as well as to the optimal execution of their activities. The possibility of users obtaining environmental information in due time and with adequate accuracy in the marine and coastal environment is defined as sea situational awareness (SSA). Without adequate information on the environmental meteorological and oceanographic conditions, users have a limited capacity to respond, which has led to loss of lives and to large environmental disasters with enormous consequent damage to the economy, society and ecosystems. Within the framework of the TESSA project, new SSA services for the Mediterranean Sea have been developed. In this paper we present SeaConditions, which is a web and mobile application for the provision of meteorological and oceanographic observation and forecasting products. Model forecasts and satellite products from operational services, such as ECMWF and CMEMS, can be visualized in SeaConditions. In addition, layers of information related to bathymetry, sea level and ocean-colour data (chl a and water transparency) are displayed. Ocean forecasts at high spatial resolutions are included in the version of SeaConditions presented here. SeaConditions provides a user-friendly experience with a fluid zoom capability, facilitating the appropriate display of data with different levels of detail. SeaConditions is a single point of access to interactive maps from different geophysical fields, providing high-quality information based on advanced oceanographic models. The SeaConditions services are available through both web and mobile applications. The web application is available at www.sea-conditions.com and is accessible and compatible with present-day browsers. Interoperability with GIS software is implemented. User feedback has been collected and taken into account in order to improve the service. The SeaConditions iOS and Android apps have been downloaded by more than 105 000 users to date (May 2016), and more than 100 000 users have visited the web version.
An offline–online Web-GIS Android application for fast data acquisition of landslide hazard and risk
Authors: Olyazadeh Roya , Sudmeier-Rieux Karen , Jaboyedoff Michel , Derron Marc-Henri , Devkota Sanjaya 
Published: April 2017

Abstract. Regional landslide assessments and mapping have been effectively pursued by research institutions, national and local governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and different stakeholders for some time, and a wide range of methodologies and technologies have consequently been proposed. Land-use mapping and hazard event inventories are mostly created by remote-sensing data, subject to difficulties, such as accessibility and terrain, which need to be overcome. Likewise, landslide data acquisition for the field navigation can magnify the accuracy of databases and analysis. Open-source Web and mobile GIS tools can be used for improved ground-truthing of critical areas to improve the analysis of hazard patterns and triggering factors. This paper reviews the implementation and selected results of a secure mobile-map application called ROOMA (Rapid Offline–Online Mapping Application) for the rapid data collection of landslide hazard and risk. This prototype assists the quick creation of landslide inventory maps (LIMs) by collecting information on the type, feature, volume, date, and patterns of landslides using open-source Web-GIS technologies such as Leaflet maps, Cordova, GeoServer, PostgreSQL as the real DBMS (database management system), and PostGIS as its plug-in for spatial database management. This application comprises Leaflet maps coupled with satellite images as a base layer, drawing tools, geolocation (using GPS and the Internet), photo mapping, and event clustering. All the features and information are recorded into a GeoJSON text file in an offline version (Android) and subsequently uploaded to the online mode (using all browsers) with the availability of Internet. Finally, the events can be accessed and edited after approval by an administrator and then be visualized by the general public.
Numerical rainfall simulation with different spatial and temporal evenness by using a WRF multiphysics ensemble
Authors: Tian Jiyang , Liu Jia , Yan Denghua , Li Chuanzhe , Yu Fuliang 
Published: April 2017

Abstract. The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model is used in this study to simulate six storm events in two semi-humid catchments of northern China. The six storm events are classified into four types based on the rainfall evenness in the spatial and temporal dimensions. Two microphysics, two planetary boundary layers (PBL) and three cumulus parameterizations are combined to develop an ensemble containing 16 members for rainfall generation. The WRF model performs the best for type 1 events with relatively even distributions of rainfall in both space and time. The average relative error (ARE) for the cumulative rainfall amount is 15.82 %. For the spatial rainfall simulation, the lowest root mean square error (RMSE) is found with event II (0.4007), which has the most even spatial distribution, and for the temporal simulation the lowest RMSE is found with event I (1.0218), which has the most even temporal distribution. The most difficult to reproduce are found to be the very convective storms with uneven spatiotemporal distributions (type 4 event), and the average relative error for the cumulative rainfall amounts is up to 66.37 %. The RMSE results of event III, with the most uneven spatial and temporal distribution, are 0.9688 for the spatial simulation and 2.5327 for the temporal simulation, which are much higher than the other storms. The general performance of the current WRF physical parameterizations is discussed. The Betts–Miller–Janjic (BMJ) scheme is found to be unsuitable for rainfall simulation in the study sites. For type 1, 2 and 4 storms, member 4 performs the best. For type 3 storms, members 5 and 7 are the better choice. More guidance is provided for choosing among the physical parameterizations for accurate rainfall simulations of different storm types in the study area.
Experimenting With the Occult: The Role of Liminality in Slumber Party Rituals
Authors: Farris Anelise 
Published: April 2017

ABSTRACT
While the slumber party itself is a significant preadolescent ritual, this article examines, in particular, how the import of belief is heightened by conditions of liminality during three specific slumber party rituals that involve the occult: “Cat Scratch,” “Concentrate,” and “Sandman.” After contextualizing the study within children's folklore and examinations of ritual and belief specifically, the author discusses how the slumber party space, as a liminal environment, is conducive to these belief-oriented rituals. The latter portion of the article analyzes interview material, collected by the author, in light of specific contextual information—such as the informants' religious, educational, and political backgrounds. Ultimately, the author concludes that within these three rituals that involve the occult (and thus a whole host of beliefs), the liminal environment allows participants, who might in other circumstances feel less permitted to engage in these activities, to experience a measure of freedom.
Crescimento e produção de arroz irrigado de pericarpo colorido em função da aplicação de nitrogênio e potássio
Authors: Schmidt Fabiana 
Published: April 2017

O potássio (K) estimula o aproveitamento do nitrogênio (N) pelas plantas possibilitando que as produtividades sejam maiores. Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar o efeito da aplicação de N e K sobre o crescimento, produção de grãos e assimilação do N e K de genótipos de tipos especiais de arroz irrigado. O experimento foi realizado em casa de vegetação, em vasos com 9 kg de amostras da camada de 0-0,2m de um Gleissolo Háplico. Nos dois genótipos de tipos especiais de arroz (SCS119 Rubi, de pericarpo vermelho e SCS120 Ônix, de pericarpo preto) foram testadas: omissão individual e completa (0%) de N e K e aplicação combinada destes nutrientes, em esquema fatorial 2x2. As quatro combinações de N e K, em mg dm-3 foram: 0-0; 0-60; 180-0; 180-60. O N e o K foram fornecidos como ureia e cloreto de potássio, respectivamente. O delineamento experimental foi de blocos ao acaso, com 3 repetições. A adição de K à adubação nitrogenada para o SCS119 Rubi foi fundamental para maximizar o perfilhamento, o crescimento da parte aérea na fase vegetativa do arroz e a produção de grãos. Alta dose de N com a omissão da aplicação de K ocasionou desiquilíbrio nutricional das plantas evidenciado pelas altas concentrações de N no tecido vegetal. Os genótipos de arroz diferiram quanto ao aproveitamento do N e K para o perfilhamento e crescimento sendo considerado responsivo o SCS119 Rubi e não responsivo o SCS120 Ônix.

Published: April 2017

Objective: Nursing education institutions globally have called for mentorship to help address the nursing faculty shortage; however, little is known about the current state of mentorship or the barriers and facilitators for implementing mentorship programs in Canadian nursing schools. The objective of this study is to identify the current state of mentorship in Canadian nursing academia and explore factors that impact implementation of mentorship programs.Methods: A sequential-explanatory mixed methods design with 2 phases: (1) cross sectional survey of nursing faculty to identify the current state of mentorship in Canadian schools of nursing and explore facilitators and barriers to implementing mentorship programs; and, (2) qualitative interviews about nursing faculty member’s experiences with mentorship. Integration occurred when selecting phase 2 participants based on phase 1 results. A web-based survey was developed based on a review of literature; surveys were collected between September 2015 and March 2016 from 935 nursing faculty members. Survey participants (n = 48) were purposively sampled for maximum variation to participate in qualitative interviews, and data were analyzed thematically.Results: The majority of Canadian nursing schools lack formal mentorship programs with existing mentorship programs varying in scope and components. Factors influencing mentorship program implementation include: mentorship training and guidelines; quality of the mentoring relationships; choice and availability of mentors; organizational support; time and competing priorities; culture of the institution; and evaluation of mentorship outcomes.Conclusions: Our results confirm lack of formalized mentorship programs in Canadian schools of nursing. In developing mentorship programs, academic leaders need to consider multiple barriers and facilitators to ensure success.

4-(9-Hydroxy-1,4,7-trioxynonyl)phthalonitrile was prepared by reaction of 4-nitrophthalonitrile with triethylene glycol in dry DMSO in the presence of fresh-calcined fine milled K2CO3 at 60 °C for 12 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into cold distilled water and extracted by CH2Cl2. Then the crude product obtained after solvent evaporation was purified by column chromatography on silica gel using elution mixture of ethyl acetate : hexane (1:3) and after that end product was dried at reduced pressure at 80 oC for 4 h. The product was characterized by IR and 1Н NMR spectroscopies, mass-spectrometry, elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction data. In MALDI-TOF spectrum, two signals located at 299 [M+Na]+ and 315 [M+К]+ Da were detected. Conformity between the calculated isotopic distributions and those derived from experimental data proves these assignments. A colorless monocrystal suitable for X-Ray measurements was grown up by low temperature solvent evaporation from a solution of 4-(9-hydroxy-1,4,7-trioxynonyl)phthalonitrile in ethyl acetate. X-ray studying showed that this compound is a monohydrate of 4-(9-hydroxy-1,4,7-trioxynonil)phthalonitrile with a water molecule located in lateral chain. Four molecules of 4-(9-hydroxy-1,4,7-trioxynonil)phthalonitrile and four water molecules were founded to be located in one unit cell with formatting eight intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Hence triethylene glycol fragment forms a chelate-like cavity which is able to hold a water molecule or a cation of alkali metal. It was found that its structure is very similar to that optimized at DFT/B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level. The some bond lengths of theoretical calculations are found to be greater than experiment data because of close intermolecular interactions in solid state.Forcitation:Kuznetsova A.S., Dmitriev M.V., Zav’yalov A.V., Koifman O.I., Islyaikin M.K.

CATALYTIC ACTION OF NITROGEN-CONTAINING BASES ON KINETICS OF ZINC AND HEXA- (m-TRIFLUOROMETHYLPHENYL)BENZOPORPHYRAZINE COMPLEX FORMATION
Authors: Petrov Oleg A. , Sadovskaya Irina N. 
Published: April 2017

A complexation reaction of hexa(m-trifluoromethylphenyl)benzoporphyrazine with zinc acetate in the system “morpholine (piperidine) – benzene” was studied. Preliminary studies have shown that at concentrations of morpholine and piperidine in benzene less than 0.95 and 0.2 mol/l respectively, the reactions between hexa(m-trifluoromethylphenyl)benzoporphyrazine and zinc acetate not observed. The reaction takes place only at the range of concentrations of morpholine of 0.95 to 8.70 mol /l in benzene and at the range of concentrations of piperidine of 0.2 to 7.74 mol /l in benzene. The changes in the electronic absorption spectrum do not depend on the nature of the nitrogen-containing base, and accompanied by π - chromophore molecules from D2h to D4h symmetry increase. It was shown that complexation describes with the total kinetic equation of the third order. That is there is the first order on every reagent -hexa (m-trifluoromethylphenyl) benzoporphyrazine, zinc acetate and the base. A possible scheme of the mechanism in which the acid - base interaction of hexa (m-trifluoromethylphenyl) benzoporphyrazine with morpholine (piperidine), leading to the H – complex formation is the rate-limiting step of the process proposed. This complex unlike molecular form posseses higher reactivity at interaction with zink cation since an expenditure of energy for breaking intracyclic NH bonds is essentially lower. It was found that rate of hexa (m-trifluoromethylphenyl) piperidin benzoporfirazina coordination by zinc is higher in system “piperidine – benzene”. At replacement of piperidine with morpholine рКа of bases decreases by a factor of about 2.5. It results in the decrease in complexation rate judging by values of k298 by a factor of ~7 on the background of constancy of activation parameters of reaction. This fact is not surprising since less pronounced proton acceptor ability of morpholine complicates removal of intracyclic proton of NH - groups with formation of N - complex and, consequently, complicates zinc cation entrance into the coordination plane of the macrocycle.For citation:Petrov O.A., Sadovskaya I.N.

Published: April 2017

Introduction: Domestic accidents are one of the main causes of death among children, characterized by an event that involves multiple determinants, emphasizing, among others, intrapersonal, interpersonal, cultural and institutional factors. Objective: To analyse the determinants of domestic accidents in early childhood. Methods: This is an exploratory, descriptive, and cross-sectional study carried out in the Emergency Hospital of Teresina city, Piauí, Brazil, between January and March 2016. The population was composed of 21 caregivers of children under five years old, hospitalized between January and March 2016. For data collection, a structured interview was conducted on aspects related to the risk factors associated with the incidence of domestic accidents involving children. A descriptive analysis was performed, with absolute and relative frequencies for the variables. The Human Research Ethics Committee approved the research with Protocol No. 1324184. Results: In relation to intrapersonal factors, pre-school children were the main victims (57.2%). For interpersonal factors, it was observed that most of participants (85.7%) considered the household unsafe for children. The evaluation of institutional factors showed that most caregivers (52.4%) had not been advised about the prevention of accidents at home. In terms of cultural factors, most participants (81%) had not heard news about domestic accidents. Conclusion: Parents and caregivers have very limited knowledge about the prevention of childhood accidents at home, with male pre-schoolers the main victims of domestic accidents.

Introduction: In recent years, there has been a reduction in cases of malnutrition in Brazil but this has been accompanied with an increase in the overweight and obesity rates. These changes, together with others, such as changes in eating patterns and lifestyle, characterise the process of nutritional transition. Objective: We aimed to compare the prevalence of nutritional status of beneficiary children of the Bolsa Família Program (PBF) in the states of Acre and Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and to analyse the changes in the anthropometric profile of these children during 5 years. Methods: This is an ecological study using secondary data from the Food and Nutrition Surveillance System (SISVAN) and Bolsa Família Department of SUS (DATASUS), which assessed the nutritional status of children over 5 years and under 10 years benefiting from the PBF in the years 2011 to 2015 in the states of Acre and Rio Grande do Sul. The sample consisted of 94,865 children from Acre and 342,462 children from Rio Grande do Sul. The Body Mass Index was used to classify the nutritional status. Results: The mean prevalence of eutrophic children aged 5 to 10 years in Acre was 70.42% and was 61.28% in Rio Grande do Sul. Overweight was 13.06% in Acre and 19.48% in Rio Grande do Sul. Obesity was 5.08% in Acre and 9.36% in Rio Grande do Sul. Severe obesity was 4.02% in Acre and 6.92% in Rio Grande do Sul. Conclusion: Overweight and obesity in children benefiting from the PBF has been growing in the last 5 years, notably in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. This is possibly due to the fact that the nutritional transition is at a more advanced stage here than in Acre State.
