A new downscaling approach and its performance with bias correction and spatial disaggregation as contrast
Authors: Zhang Shaobo , Chen Fulong , He Xinlin , Liu Bing 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Bias correction and spatial disaggregation (BCSD) is widely used in coupling general circulation models (GCMs) and hydrological models. However, there are some disadvantages in BCSD, such as only one GCM being selected, correcting biases through quantile-mapping (QM), and downscaling through interpolation. Then a combined approach of canonical correlation analysis filtering, multi-model ensemble, and extreme learning machine (ELM) regressions (CEE) was advanced. The performance of CEE and BCSD was evaluated with Manas River Basin as a study area. Results show it is unreasonable to correct biases through QM as it implies that the climate remains unchanged. Multi-model ensemble provides additional information, which is beneficial for regressions. CEE performs better than BCSD in temperature and precipitation rate downscaling. In CEE, the residual in temperature forecasting can be lower than 0.05 times temperature range and that in precipitation rate can be 0.33 times precipitation rate range. The performance of CEE in temperature downscaling in plains is better than mountainous areas, but for precipitation rate downscaling, it is better in mountainous areas. Increasing rate of temperature in the basin is 0.0254 K/decade, 0.1837 K/decade, and 0.5039 K/decade, and that of precipitation rate is 0.0028 mm/(day × decade), 0.0036 mm/(day × decade), and 0.0022 mm/(day × decade) in RCP2.6, RCP4.5, and RCP8.5, respectively.
Impacts of temperature and precipitation on the spatiotemporal distribution of water resources in Chinese mega cities: the case of Beijing

Published: August 2017

Abstract
Water shortages in China have hindered development of mega cities, especially Beijing. Assessing the impact of temperature and precipitation on water resources is important. This study analyzed spatiotemporal variations and impacts of temperature and precipitation on water resources in Beijing from 1956 to 2013, using statistical and spatial analysis. The results showed the following. (1) Temperature and precipitation affect water resources variously from region to region; their correlation in mountains is lower than in other areas. Precipitation redistribution caused by terrain reduces water resources. (2) The inter-annual variabilities of precipitation, temperature and water resources are different among five water resource divisions. Because of ‘rain-slope’, Beisanhe's precipitation is larger than others; Yongdinghe's precipitation is less than others due to ‘rain-shadow’; suffering from urban heat island effect, Beisihe and Daqinghe-plain's temperature is higher than others; Beisanhe and Beisihe's water resources are greater than others due to area differences. (3) Water resources are positively correlated with precipitation and negatively with temperature. (4) In recent years, precipitation and water resources decreased and temperature rose. Population growth, land use/land cover change, urbanization and pollution affected precipitation, temperature and water resources. Imported water cannot completely solve water shortages. With increasing water demand, precipitation and temperature will significantly influence water resources in Beijing.

AbstractUnderstanding how potential climate change will affect availability of water resources for citrus production globally is needed. The main goal of this study is to investigate impacts of potential future climate change on citrus irrigation requirements (IRR) in major global citrus producing regions, e.g., Africa, Asia, Australia, Mediterranean, Americas. The Irrigation Management System (IManSys) model was used to calculate optimum IRR for the baseline period (1986–2005) and two future periods (2055s and 2090s) subject to combination of five and seven temperature and precipitation levels, respectively. Predicted IRR show significant spatio-temporal variations across study regions. Future annual IRR are predicted to globally decrease; however, future monthly IRR showed mixed results. Future evapotranspiration and IRR are projected to decrease by up to 12 and 37%, respectively, in response to increases in CO2 concentration. Future citrus canopy interception and drainage below citrus rootzones are expected to slightly increase. Annual rainfall changes are negatively correlated with changes in IRR. These projections should help the citrus industry better understand potential climate change impacts on citrus IRR and major components of the water budget. Further studies are needed to investigate how these potential changes in CO2 concentration, temperature, evapotranspiration, rainfall, and IRR will affect citrus yield and its economic impact on the citrus industry.
Cadaveric Study of the Junction Point Where the Gastrocnemius Aponeurosis Joins the Soleus Aponeurosis
Authors: Lui Tun Hing , Mak Chong Yin 
Published: August 2017

Purpose:
To study the location of the junction point where the gastrocnemius aponeurosis joins the soleus aponeurosis to form the Achilles tendon.

Methods:
Twelve lower limb specimens were used. The distance between the medial tibial plateau and the superior border of the posterior calcaneal tubercle (A) was measured and the distances of the junction point to the superior border of the posterior calcaneal tubercle (B) were measured.

Result:
The ratio B/A averaged 0.45. The gastrocnemius muscle reached or extended beyond the junction point in eight specimens (67%). The average distance from the lowest border of the muscle to the junction point was 0±12mm (-25-25).

Conclusion:
There are great anatomical variations of the gastrocnemius insertion. Resection of muscle bound portion of the gastrocnemius aponeurosis is a more appropriate approach of endoscopic gastrocnemius aponeurosis recession.

Clinical Relevance:
This report suggests that resection of muscle bound portion rather than the muscle void portion of the gastrocnemius aponeurosis is a more appropriate approach of endoscopic gastrocnemius aponeurosis recession.

Authors: Kendrick Jessica , Andrews Emily , You Zhiying , Moreau Kerrie , Nowak Kristen L. , Farmer-Bailey Heather , Seals Douglas R. , Chonchol Michel 
Published: August 2017

Background and objectives
High circulating vitamin D levels are associated with lower cardiovascular mortality in CKD, possibly by modifying endothelial function. We examined the effect of calcitriol versus cholecalciferol supplementation on vascular endothelial function in patients with CKD.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements
We performed a prospective, double-blind, randomized trial of 128 adult patients with eGFR=15–44 ml/min per 1.73 m2and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level <30 ng/ml at the University of Colorado. Participants were randomly assigned to oral cholecalciferol (2000 IU daily) or calcitriol (0.5 μg) daily for 6 months. The primary end point was change in brachial artery flow-mediated dilation. Secondary end points included changes in circulating markers of mineral metabolism and circulating and cellular markers of inflammation.

Results
One hundred and fifteen patients completed the study. The mean (SD) age and eGFR of participants were 58±12 years old and 33.0±10.2 ml/min per 1.73 m2, respectively. There were no significant differences between groups at baseline. After 6 months, neither calcitriol nor cholecalciferol treatment resulted in a significant improvement in flow-mediated dilation (mean±SD percentage flow-mediated dilation; calcitriol: baseline 4.8±3.1%, end of study 5.1±3.6%; cholecalciferol: baseline 5.2±5.2%, end of study 4.7±3.6%); 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels increased significantly in the cholecalciferol group compared with the calcitriol group (cholecalciferol: 11.0±9.5 ng/ml; calcitriol: −0.8±4.8 ng/ml; P<0.001). Parathyroid hormone levels decreased significantly in the calcitriol group compared with the cholecalciferol group (median [interquartile range]; calcitriol: −22.1 [−48.7–3.5] pg/ml; cholecalciferol: −0.3 [−22.6–16.9] pg/ml; P=0.004).

Conclusions
Six months of therapy with calcitriol or cholecalciferol did not improve vascular endothelial function or improve inflammation in patients with CKD.

La sexualidad como aleph de la prisión política argentina en los años setenta
Authors: D’Antonio Débora 
Published: August 2017

Me interesa en este texto trabajar la articulación de género y sexual en el campo de fuerzas que se dio en la prisión entre el Estado y las personas apresadas por razones políticas en la Argentina de los años setenta. La penalización de la condición de género y sexual en la prisión política fue utilizada como una estrategia para ultrajar, doblegar y redoblar los efectos deshumanizantes, despersonalizantes y destructivos de la estrategia represiva. La violencia ejercida en las cárceles durante este periodo muestra cómo la estructura de género reaparece constantemente para reafirmar al poder represivo. De allí que la sexualidad y el género puedan ser identificados como un aleph que permite observar a los cuerpos como territorios donde se dirimieron lógicas de poder pero también de resistencias. <em><em><br /></em></em>
Naturaleza jurídica de la protección diplomática a la luz del desarrollo progresivo del derecho internacional: ¿derecho del Estado o de la persona humana?
Authors: Ortega Velázquez Elisa 
Published: August 2017

El objetivo de este artículo es estudiar la naturaleza jurídica de la protección diplomática, con el fin de dilucidar si es un derecho de los Estados strictu sensu, de los individuos, o de ambos. Para ello se estudiarán los antecedentes generales de la institución; se analizará el derecho del Estado a ejercer la protección diplomática; el derecho subjetivo lesionado del individuo subyacente; se explorará si el ejercicio de la protección diplomática es un deber de los Estados, y se esbozarán cuáles son las condiciones de ejercicio de la protección diplomática. Se concluye que el verdadero desafío a la naturaleza jurídica de la protección diplomática no es la sustitución del Estado por el individuo en la titularidad del derecho principal sino el reconocimiento de que dos derechos complementarios se encuentran presentes en la institución: el derecho subjetivo sustantivo del individuo y el correlativo derecho subjetivo sustantivo de protección del Estado.

Published: August 2017

Introduction: Family medicine residency programs (FMRPs) endeavor to meet evidence-based medicine (EBM) subcompetencies through the milestones project. Comprehensive descriptions of clinical pharmacists’ contributions in teaching EBM within the context of residency are limited. Methods: Over a study period of 2 months, clinical pharmacists across five FMRPs in four states were invited to track their interactions with physician residents. EBM resources, skills, and targeted milestone data were collected. Pharmacists also quantified their nonpatient care contributions to EBM. Results: Of the 16 clinical pharmacists invited, 16 (100%) participated in the October and 12 (75.0%) in the March collection period. A total of 598.9 half days over 2 months (42 working days) of available teaching time were reported. The tracking tool captured 1,253 EBM teaching encounters with a total average of 2.1 encounters per half day. Of those encounters, point-of-care references were most commonly used (63.7%) and “apply” was the most common EBM skill taught (83.8%). The most commonly tracked milestone was Medical Knowledge 2 (75.3%) at Level 2. Nine out of 10 faculty pharmacists included in this study reported performing the following roles: preceptor (100%), lecturer (89.9%), provider (77.8%), expert/consultant (77.8%), health care team (66.7%), and other (11.1%). Faculty pharmacists also reported directly evaluating milestones for physician residents through: committee work (44.4%), resident evaluations (77.8%), and rotation evaluations (77.8%). Conclusions: As FMRPs strive to meet ACGME EBM-related competencies, clinical pharmacists across multiple sites demonstrated contributions to teaching EBM in medical resident education. Using a nonphysician faculty for this purpose may provide an example for other FMRPs.

Pelaksanaan demokrasi di Indonesia dalam praktiknya menghadapi kendala yang bersifat politis dan ideologis. Sungguhpun demikian demokrasi sudah menjadi pilihan politik yang diyakini sebagai salah satu bentuk sistem politik terbaik untuk mencapai efektivitas penyelenggaraan pemerintahan negara. Akan tetapi setelah merdeka, praktik kehidupan demokrasi masih mengalami pasang surut seiring dengan dinamika perkembangan politik di Indonesia. Secara konseptual pemikiran demokrasi yang berkembang di Indonesia dipengaruhi oleh perkembangan pemikiran demokrasi di luar Indonesia, khususnya pemikiran demokrasi yang dikembangkan oleh elit intelektual pada masa pergerakan dan sesudahnya.
Kata kunci: demokrasi dan ketatanegaraan.

The implementation of democracy in Indonesia in practice had hindrance politically and ideologically. However, democracy had been political choice assumed as one of the best political system to achieve effectivity in performing the State. Yet, after independence, the living democracy practice still have to move high and low along with dynamic political growth in Indonesia. Conceptually, democracy’s thought developed in Indonesia affected by the development of foreign democracy’s though, especially thought of democracy developed by intellectual expert at the movement ages and subsequently.

Dalam melaksanakan Tugas dan Kewajiban yang tertuang dalam Tridharma Perguruan Tinggi, dosen melakukan berbagai macam kegiatan. Untuk memaksimalkan pelaksanaan kegiatan dosen agar tidak ada kegiatan yang terlewatkan, maka dibutuhkan sebuah pengingat kegiatan yang berbeda dengan pengingat yang telah ada saat ini. Untuk itu dibuat sebuah aplikasi e-Reminder Services (layanan pengingat elektronik) untuk kegiatan dosen berbasis SMS (Short Message Service) gateway. Alasan digunakannya media SMS karena layanan SMS pasti ada disetiap ponsel, berbeda dengan MMS dan WAP yang hanya ada dibeberapa merek dan tipe ponsel tertentu, serta penggunaan SMS tidak memakan banyak biaya. SMS gateway pada aplikasi ini menggunakan operator GSM (Global system for mobile Communications) dan modem GSM sebagai alat penghubung perangkat komputer dengan SMS gateway. Hasil akhir penelitian ini adalah SMS pengingat kegiatan yang diterima oleh dosen pada ponsel masing-masing. Dari hasil pengujian dapat ditarik kesimpulan bahwa aplikasi e-Reminder Services (layanan pengingat elektronik) untuk kegiatan dosen dapat diimplementasikan pada Jurusan Teknik Informatika UIN Suska Riau.

O presente artigo tece reflexões em relação a infância, experiência e educação na perspectiva de Walter Benjamin. Traz como problemática o que a falta de experiência pode ocasionar aos homens na atualidade, especialmente as crianças que desfrutam de suas infâncias. Essas indagações são pertinentes ao considerar que os brinquedos e as brincadeiras podem ser valorizados na infância como instrumentos favoráveis a elaboração da experiência e composição da linguagem. A metodologia adotada foi ensaio teórico realizado por meio da leitura e análise dos textos de Benjamin e de seus leitores. Ao apresentar as contribuições de Benjamin, conclui-se que a educação pode contribuir para a valorização da experiência na infância favorecendo momentos em que as crianças desfrutam de seus brinquedos e brincadeiras de forma criativa e espontânea.

A tese aqui presente é a de que existe em Cuiabá uma comunidade em situação de rua que habita a Ilha do Bananal no Centro da Cidade e que esta comunidade possui uma auto-organização a partir dos arte-fatos e afetos que mobilizam. Este fenômeno foi descrito a partir da pesquisa de campo exploratória e contou com o diálogo com moradores em situação de rua e descrição dos fenômenos que compõe a comunidade que habita a Ilha do Bananal. Os arte-fatos e afetos são uma maneira de dizer de toda uma cultura material e imaterial que envolve a vida da população em situação de rua que habita a Ilha do Bananal. A pesquisa revela que mesmo vivendo sob égide da vulnerabilidade a comunidade da Ilha do Bananal consegue resistir frente a fenômenos como a pobreza e a violência e que também possui potencial educativo, do ponto de vista da educação popular se fazer inerente à comunidade.
