Published: January 2018

The massive scale of forest fire by big companies in Kapuas Hulu have caused smog disaster that affect surrounding areas suh as Kalimantan Island and Malaysia.These companies cleared land without considering season calendaras indigenous peopleof Dayak did. As a result, forest fire is uncontrollable that cause serious haze disaster. In contrast, the Dayak people have local wisdom called bambi‘ari to prevent forest fire. According to bambi ‘ari, Dayak people clear small scale land and use season calendar before fire the forest.This research concern swith bambi ‘ari’s implementation to prevent forest fire haze by using qualitative method to collect primary data. This research argues that as a local wisdom, bambi ‘ari was built upon collaboration among the Dayak people to develop social solidarity. Since the Dayak people rely heavily on natural resources, they set a system to help natural resources management, such as forest. This set of system called tembawang, applies season calendar to determine planting in the field and land clearing. Forest fire as a tool of land clearing, conducted in natural ways and in particular time to avoid haze disaster. Collaboration among the Dayak people occurred when they fire forest by monitoring hot spots and supplying water to prevent uncontrolled forest fire.This research concludes that the implementation of bambi‘ari as a long term natural resources management by the Dayak people enable haze disaster prevention.Bencana kabut asap yang terjadi di Kapuas Hulu disebabkan oleh pembakaran hutan untuk membuka lahan baru. Mayori tas pelakunya perusahaan yang membakar dalam skala massif dan tidak menggunakan kalender musim. Masyarakat Dayak pun melakukan pembakaran hutan dalam skala kecil dengan meng gunakan konsep bambi ‘ari untuk mencegah terjadinya kebakaran hutan. Penelitian ini hendak mengkaji bagaimanakah implementsai bambi ari’ dalam penanganan bencana kabut asap. Metode peneli ti an kualitatif untuk mendapatkan data primer dari masyarakat Dayak tentang bagaimana mengelola hutan. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa masyarakat Dayak memiliki kearifan lokal dalam mengelola sumber daya alam untuk dimanfaatkan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Pengelolaan hutan untuk kehidupan sehari-hari dengan sistem tembawang yang mengenal kalender musim untuk proses penanaman di ladang. Pembakaran hutan sebagai bagian dari pembukaan lahan dilakukan dengan cara dan waktu yang tepat sehingga secara alami tidak menimbulkan bencana. Pada saat proses pembakarran hutan dilakukan dengan melibatkan banyak orang (keluarga atau komunitas) dengan menjaga titik-titik yang rawan terbakar dan menyediakan air untuk mencegah kebakaran hutan. Konsep bekerja bersama dan membangun solidaritas sosial tersebut yang mereka namakan bambi ‘ari. Sistem ini memungkinkan pengelolaan alam dalam jangka panjang dan menggunakan tanda-tanda alam dalam prosesnya, yang mampu untuk mencegah timbulnya bencana kabut asap.
Quantum-chemical study of molecular structure and relative stability of trans and cis isomers of model anilide derivatives
Authors: Cagardová Denisa , Poliak Peter , Lukeš Vladimír 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
Derivatives of anilide were studied systematically by the density functional theory (DFT) using the B3LYP hybrid functional and the 6-311+G(3df,2p) basis set. Characteristic frequencies of N-H and C=O stretching modes for cis and trans conformers distinguishing were compared with available experimental and theoretical data. Effect of substitution in ortho position and acidic residue group is discussed with respect to the bond length changes in the aromatic ring and aromaticity indexes. Energy differences between cis and trans conformations allow estimating the effect of intramolecular hydrogen bonds stabilizing the studied conformations. The trans conformation of parent formanilide is stabilized via the C(aromatic) -H∙∙∙O=C interaction with the energy of around 4 kJ・mol-1. The selected anilide series represent model compounds for drug design.
Extrapolation of Atomic Natural Orbitals of basis set to complete basis set limit
Authors: Granatier Jaroslav 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
Relativistic Atomic Natural Orbitals (ANO-RCC) are extrapolated to the complete basis set limit. ANO-RCC-VXZP (X = D, T, Q) basis sets were extrapolated using standard extrapolation techniques. Five noncovalent complexes, characterized by hydrogen, dispersion and halogen interactions, were chosen. Accurate description of the studied complexes is allowed only after the inclusion of electron correlation and large basis sets which have to include polarization and diffuse functions. Results are in quantitative agreement with the benchmark data obtained by standard aug-cc-pVXZ-DK (X = D, T, Q) basis sets considering chemical accuracy of ±1 kcal/mol.
Evaluation of cadmium, lead, zinc and copper levels in selected ecological cereal food products and their non-ecological counterparts
Authors: Slepecka Katarzyna , Kalwa Klaudia , Wyrostek Jakub , Pankiewicz Urszula 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
In the everyday human diet, cereal products are considered to be basics. Such food should have healthy properties and not contain harmful additives, especially heavy metals as exposure to low doses of such xenobiotics can adversely affect human health. Ecological farming is the answer to consumer expectations regarding food safety, and ecological products are recommended as a basis for proper nutrition, despite the higher cost of their purchase. The present study was carried out to evaluate the content of heavy metals in ecological cereal products and their non-ecological analogues.
Recommendations and Results of Supplemental Feeding of Pheasants Depending on the Season
Authors: Đorđević Nenad , Popović Zoran , Beuković Dejan , Beuković Miloš 
Published: January 2018

Summary
The quality and quantity of natural food resources and food from agricultural land vary considerably depending on the type of the hunting ground and the season. In order to achieve better body weight of the hunted pheasants, to preserve their number and achieve better reproductive potential of these birds, supplemental feeding is necessary. Previous studies have shown that feeding of pheasants in hunting grounds in all seasons, and especially during the winter, yields positive results. The achieved results, however, are significantly dependent on the degree of anthropogenic activity in the hunting grounds, as well as the amount of natural food. Moreover, nutrition must be adequate not only in terms of the quantity, but also the quality. This means that instead of single feeds (most commonly cereals: wheat, corn, etc.), complete mixtures should be used, which is a costly solution. However, pheasants aged five or more months are increasingly in demand for hunting on the polygons. Nevertheless, hunting in preserved nature and with a diverse wildlife fund will never lose its significance.

Authors: Rusan Andrei , Vasiu Radu 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
Wireless mobile telecommunications are of growing importance and an enabler for the Internet of Things. Most networks are IP based or moving to an IP based infrastructure, including the latest 4G LTE and the future 5G networks. Understanding and being able to predict the behavior and performance of such networks in various scenarios and conditions is critical. This drives the need to study IP impairments in wireless telecommunications networks and to assess their impact on network and service performance. One method is to emulate/generate IP impairments while observing and measuring their impact on network performance. In this paper the authors analyze the challenges associated with analyzing the behavior of mobile wireless networks. They discuss the importance and benefits of IP impairments testing and mention the high cost of dedicated IP impairment emulators for telecommunications. A flexible and affordable solution is proposed for educational purposes and the study of IP impairments on wireless telecommunication networks.

Published: January 2018

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyze and improve through recommendations the revenue management, in this case the turnover, applied by changing the method of feeding calves with age ranging from 0 to 6 months from the zootechnical farm at the Development and Research Center for Cattle Breeding from Arad. This will be achieved by using an approved and certified feed substitute (milk powder) to feed the calves instead of the cow’s milk so that the milk produced by the dairy cows can be delivered to customers. The differences between the cost of buying and feeding calves with this substitute and the income from selling milk are substantial. By this method, the income of the resort and that of any zootechnical farm will be maximized without endangering the health of the calves or the end-users. At the same time, we will disseminate the results obtained by applying this method in 2016, the results being conclusive.

Published: January 2018

AbstractWe describe the case of an 83-year-old woman with left-sided ophthalmoplegia. She had no family history of connective tissue disease. The computed tomography study found a dilated left cavernous sinus. The conventional cerebral panangiography confirmed the diagnosis - a direct carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF), with no evidence of ruptured aneurysm. The woman underwent endovascular treatment with coiling of the cavernous sinus in combination with application of the Onyx embolic agent in the fistula. During the first 48 hours after the embolization the local pain, exophthalmos and conjunctival injection of the left eye were significantly ameliorated. The pulsatile tinnitus on the left disappeared and the ptosis of the left eyelid partially recovered. Selective angiography is the best method for the diagnosis and classification of CCF. Currently, treatment is possible with low mortality and morbidity rates. The endovascular intervention is able to completely occlude the fistula and maintain adequate blood fl ow through the carotid artery.
Long-Term Comparative Advantages of the Eurasian Economic Union Member States in International Trade
Authors: Falkowski Krzysztof 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
On 1st January 2015 the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) - a new integration block comprising initially Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Russia, and later that year also Armenia and Kyrgyzstan - appeared on the world map. This paper endeavors to identify the EAEU countries’ long-term international comparative advantages within four basic groups of goods according to the OECD classification of manufacturing industries based on technology intensity. The analysis, using B. Balassa’s RCA methodology and covering the years 2000-2014, indicates that these countries lack competitiveness, with none of them possessing any RCAs in the high-technology category whereas in the medium-hightechnology category - only Belarus. In contrast, all the EAEU countries fared the best in the medium-low-technology category, which is mostly attributable to the resources-based character of their economies. Surprisingly, dramatically low international competitiveness was recorded by Kazakhstan and Russia.

Authors: Zhang Xuping , Li Yongxiang 
Published: January 2018

AbstractWe consider the fractional retarded evolution equations
$$^{C}D_{t}^{q}u(t)+Au(t)=f\Big(t,u_t,\int_{0}^{t}w(t,s,u_s)ds\Big),\quad t\in[0,a],$$where $^{C}D_{t}^{q}$, $q\in(0,1]$, is the fractional derivative in the Caputo sense, $-A$ is the infinitesimal generator of a $C_0$-semigroup of uniformly bounded linear operators $T(t)$$(t\geq0)$ on a Banach space $X$ and the nonlinear operators $f$ and $w$ are given functions satisfying some assumptions, subjected to a general mixed nonlocal plus local initial condition of the form $u(t)=g(u)(t)+\phi(t)$, $t\in[-h,0]$. Under more general conditions, the existence of mild solutions and positive mild solutions are obtained by means of fractional calculus and fixed point theory for condensing maps. Moreover, we present an example to illustrate the application of abstract results.
The Pleistocene record attributed to the cricetid genus Nectomys (Rodentia, Sigmodontinae): unexpected connections
Authors: Pardiñas Ulyses F.J. , Barbière Franck 
Published: January 2018

Abstract

Nectomys is a cricetid genus of medium-large sized oryzomyines broadly distributed in creeks and rivers of lowland South America. It has been mentioned in two localities, one in Bolivia and another in Argentina in Pleistocene assemblages. After revising the fossils that supported both records we conclude that they are not Nectomys. The record from Bolivia is Reigomys primigenus. The record from Argentina is attributable to Scapteromys. In conclusion, past occurrences of Nectomys are restricted to those of undifferentiated Quaternary age from Brazilian caves. The unexpected connections between fossils described here are discussed to explore the rationality behind detected misidentifications.
Caveolin1 Identifies a Specific Subpopulation of Cerebral Cortex Callosal Projection Neurons (CPN) Including Dual Projecting Cortical Callosal/Frontal Projection Neurons (CPN/FPN)

Published: January 2018

AbstractThe neocortex is composed of many distinct subtypes of neurons that must form precise subtype-specific connections to enable the cortex to perform complex functions. Callosal projection neurons (CPN) are the broad population of commissural neurons that connect the cerebral hemispheres via the corpus callosum (CC). Currently, how the remarkable diversity of CPN subtypes and connectivity is specified, and how they differentiate to form highly precise and specific circuits, are largely unknown. We identify in mouse that the lipid-bound scaffolding domain protein Caveolin 1 (CAV1) is specifically expressed by a unique subpopulation of Layer V CPN that maintain dual ipsilateral frontal projections to premotor cortex. CAV1 is expressed by over 80% of these dual projecting callosal/frontal projection neurons (CPN/FPN), with expression peaking early postnatally as axonal and dendritic targets are being reached and refined. CAV1 is localized to the soma and dendrites of CPN/FPN, a unique population of neurons that shares information both between hemispheres and with premotor cortex, suggesting function during postmitotic development and refinement of these neurons, rather than in their specification. Consistent with this, we find thatCav1function is not necessary for the early specification of CPN/FPN, or for projecting to their dual axonal targets. CPN subtype-specific expression ofCav1identifies and characterizes a first molecular component that distinguishes this functionally unique projection neuron population, a population that expands in primates, and is prototypical of additional dual and higher-order projection neuron subtypes.
Spontaneous Infraslow Fluctuations Modulate Hippocampal EPSP-PS Coupling

Published: January 2018

AbstractExtensive trial-to-trial variability is a hallmark of most behavioral, cognitive, and physiological processes. Spontaneous brain activity (SBA), a ubiquitous phenomenon that coordinates levels and patterns of neuronal activity throughout the brain, may contribute to this variability by dynamically altering neuronal excitability. In freely-behaving male rats, we observed extensive variability of the hippocampal evoked response across 28-min recording periods despite maintaining constant stimulation parameters of the medial perforant path. This variability was related to antecedent SBA: increases in low-frequency (0.5–9 Hz) and high-frequency (40.25–100 Hz) band-limited power (BLP) in the 4-s preceding stimulation were associated with decreased slope of the field EPSP (fEPSP) and increased population spike (PS) amplitude. These fluctuations in SBA and evoked response magnitude did not appear stochastic but rather exhibited coordinated activity across infraslow timescales (0.005–0.02 Hz). Specifically, infraslow fluctuations in high- and low-frequency BLP were antiphase with changes in fEPSP slope and in phase with changes in PS amplitude. With these divergent effects on the fEPSP and PS, infraslow SBA ultimately modulates EPSP-PS coupling and thereby enables hippocampal circuitry to generate heterogeneous outputs from identical inputs. Consequently, infraslow SBA appears well suited to dynamically alter sensory selection and information processing and highlights the fundamental role of endogenous neuronal activity for shaping the brain’s response to incoming stimuli.
Prefrontal Corticostriatal Disconnection Blocks the Acquisition of Goal-Directed Action
Authors: Hart Genevra , Bradfield Laura A. , Balleine Bernard W. 
Published: January 2018

The acquisition of goal-directed action requires encoding of the association between an action and its specific consequences or outcome. At a neural level, this encoding has been hypothesized to involve a prefrontal corticostriatal circuit involving the projection from the prelimbic cortex (PL) to the posterior dorsomedial striatum (pDMS); however, no direct evidence for this claim has been reported. In a series of experiments, we performed functional disconnection of this pathway using targeted lesions of the anterior corpus callosum to disrupt contralateral corticostriatal projections with asymmetrical lesions of the PL and/or pDMS to block plasticity in this circuit in rats. We first demonstrated that unilaterally blocking the PL input to the pDMS prevented the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-related kinase/mitogen activated protein kinase (pERK/pMAPK) induced by instrumental training. Next, we used a full bilateral disconnection of the PL from the pDMS and assessed goal-directed action using an outcome-devaluation test. Importantly, we found evidence that rats maintaining an ipsilateral and/or contralateral connection between the PL and the pDMS were able to acquire goal-directed actions. In contrast, bilateral PL–pDMS disconnection abolished the acquisition of goal-directed actions. Finally, we used a temporary pharmacological disconnection to disrupt PL inputs to the pDMS by infusing the NMDA antagonistdl-2-amino-5-phosphonopentanoic acid into the pDMS during instrumental training and found that this manipulation also disrupted goal-directed learning. These results establish that, in rats, the acquisition of new goal-directed actions depends on a prefrontal–corticostriatal circuit involving a connection between the PL and the pDMS.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTIt has been hypothesized that the prelimbic cortex (PL) and posterior dorsomedial striatum (pDMS) in rodents interact in a corticostriatal circuit to mediate goal-directed learning. However, no direct evidence supporting this claim has been reported. Using targeted lesions, we performed functional disconnection of the PL–pDMS pathway to assess its role in goal-directed learning. In the first experiment, we demonstrated that PL input to the pDMS is necessary for instrumental training-induced neuronal activity. Next, we disrupted ipsilateral, contralateral, or bilateral PL–pDMS connections and found that only bilateral PL–pDMS disconnection disrupted the acquisition of goal-directed actions, a finding we replicated in our final study using a pharmacological disconnection procedure.
Outcome of endoscopic vs microsurgical transsphenoidal resection for Cushing’s disease
Authors: Qiao Nidan 
Published: January 2018

Introduction
It is unclear whether the proportions of remission and the recurrence rates differ between endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery (TS) and microscopic TS in Cushing’s disease (CD); thus, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate studies of endoscopic TS and microscopic TS.

Methods
We conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed to identify relevant studies. Remission and recurrence were used as outcome measures following surgical treatment of CD.

Results
A total of 24 cohort studies involving 1670 adult patients were included in the comparison. Among these studies, 702 patients across 9 studies underwent endoscopic TS, and 968 patients across 15 studies underwent microscopic TS. Similar baseline characteristics were observed in both groups. There was no significant difference in remission between the two groups: 79.7% (95% CI: 73.1–85.0%) in the endoscopic group and 76.9% (95% CI: 71.3–81.6%) in the microscopic group (P = 0.485). It appears that patients who underwent endoscopic surgery experience recurrence less often than patients who underwent microscopic surgery, with recurrence proportions of 11.0% and 15.9%, respectively (P = 0.134). However, if follow-up time is taken into account, both groups had a recurrence rate of approximately 4% per person per year (95% CI: 3.1–5.4% and 3.6–5.1%, P = 0.651).

Conclusions
We found that remission proportion and recurrence rate were the same in patients who underwent endoscopic TS as in patients who underwent microscopic TS. The definition of diagnosis, remission and recurrence should always be considered in the studies assessing therapeutic efficacy in CD.
