Local environmental NGO roles in biodiversity governance: a Czech-German comparison
Authors: Slavíková Lenka , Syrbe Ralf-Uwe , Slavík Jan , Berens Astrid 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
Recently, the role of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs)s in environmental governance has been widely investigated, especially regarding the issue of mandatory public participation in policy-making within a European context. This paper aims to redirect scientific attention from their pure participation to their field actions, i.e., to the role they play in actual natural resource management, especially at the local level, and reframe local environmental NGO roles and positions based on the criteria for scale and influence. More specifically, this paper seeks to identify factors that promote NGOs as effective complements in the protection of state biodiversity and stresses local impacts of different governance schemes.
Determining factors were investigated through a series of in-depth case studies undertaken in the Czech-German border region of the eastern Krušné hory Mts. (Erzgebirge, Ore Mts.). Rather than a quantitatively oriented survey among NGOs, this study focused primarily on a specific territory and, subsequently, on the identification of relevant actor performance (including NGO representatives) within this territory. The method applied for comparison was the Institutional Analysis and Development Framework (IAD Framework). This design enabled a comparison of different social practices in the homogeneous ecosystem present on both sides of the border and captured the influence of specific social and historical cross-border features on environmental NGO performance.

Abstract
In this paper, the iterative reweighted least squares (IRLS) algorithm for sparse signal recovery with partially known support is studied. We establish a theoretical analysis of the IRLS algorithm by incorporating some known part of support information as a prior, and obtain the error estimate and convergence result of this algorithm. Our results show that the error bound depends on the best

Finally, a series of numerical experiments are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm for sparse signal recovery with partially known support, which shows that an appropriate q (

Authors: Klemashev Nikolay I. , Shananin Alexander A. , Zhang Shuhua 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
We develop an approach to the analysis of stock market crises based on
the generalized nonparametric method. The generalized nonparametric method is based on solvability and regularization of ill-posed inverse problem in Pareto’s demand theory. Our approach allows one to select a few companies that may be considered as the main reason for the crisis. We apply this approach to study the Chinese stock market crash in 2015.

Authors: Ribeiro Maria de Fátima Bento 
Published: July 2017

A instalação da hidrelétrica de Itaipu, na fronteira do Brasil com Paraguai, transformou-se em um episódio importante na história contemporânea, pois foi um projeto considerado de maior impacto na história de transformação da natureza e da ecologia do planeta, visto que a usina representou um impacto ambiental e de prejuízos humanos. Neste texto, temos o objetivo de analizar o discurso presente na Obra Entre a Cruz e a Política querelata eventos durante operíodo de instalação da Itaipu, contextualizando toda uma época. Tal discurso refletea questão da luta pela terra, do fortalecimento da oposição e seu crescimento nas cidades do oeste paranaense, principalmente com a formação do MDB naquela região. De modo geral, são memórias do cotidiano que ganham vida no interior de um discurso narrativo, e este material se faz importante para que a memória, na perspectiva das lutas populares, não caia no esquecimento.

Published: July 2017

A infiltração consiste na entrada de água na camada superficial do solo. Este processo é influenciado por diversos fatores tais como: características da precipitação, condições físicas do solo e tipo de uso do solo. Os diferentes tipos de uso do solo em uma bacia hidrográfica indicam variações nas condições físicas do solo que podem alterar o processo de infiltração da água. Neste contento, este artigo teve como objetivo mensurar a infiltração de água no solo em uma bacia hidrográfica no município de Irati na Região Sudeste do Paraná com diferentes tipos de uso do solo. Realizamos duas campanhas de coleta de dados, uma no verão e outra no inverno. Para mensurar a infiltração da água no solo utilizamos um infiltrômetro de anéis concêntricos. Ao término do monitoramento concluímos que a taxa de infiltração é maior no período de inverno em todos os usos da terra. A agricultura indicou maior variação na infiltração entro os dois períodos de monitoramento devido ao manejo do solo. A área urbana indicou menor variação na infiltração, por não haver mudanças significativas no solo ao longo do ano. Abstract:The infiltration consists of the input of water into the soil. This process is influenced by several factors such as: characteristics of rainfall, soil physical conditions and land use type. The different types of land use in a watershed show variations in soil physical conditions that can alter the process of water infiltration. Therefore, this article has as objective to measure the infiltration of water in the soil in a watershed in the Municipality of Irati in the Southeast Region of Paraná with different types of land use. We carried out two campaigns of data collection, one in the summer and other in the winter. We used a concentric ring infiltrometer to measure the infiltration of water in soils. At the end of the monitoring we conclude that the rate of infiltration is higher in the winter period in all land uses. Agriculture indicated greater variation in infiltration between the two monitoring periods due to soil management. The urban area indicated less variation in the infiltration, as there were no significant changes in the soil during the year.Keywords: Infiltration rate; Land Use; Rural Area; Urban Area; Seasonality.

Dans une recherche sur la littérature produite par des prisonniers politiques et autres, j’ai toujours essayé de répondre aux questions suivantes :─ Comment la prison est-elle représentée dans les écrits de la contemporanéité à la première personne dans la littérature brésilienne et québécoise ? ─ Dans ces écrits, quelle relation y a-t-il entre l’institution prison et les autres institutions telles que : la Famille, l’École, l’Église, l’État, face à la question de la violence ?─ Comment le corps se dessine-t-il dans l’écriture face à la violence ?─ Comment subjectivité et collectivité se conjuguent-elles pour figurer les sujets narratifs en question ? ─ Comment esthétique, éthique et politique s’associent-elles dans l’écriture de la prison ?Dans cette étude, j’analyse les livres Memórias de um sobrevivente (Mémoires d’un survivant), de Luís Alberto Mendes, et Bienvenue dans mon cauchemar, de Marie Gagnon, en observant notamment le rôle de l’écriture en situation-limite entre la marginalité et la loi.

Objective
Cross-sectional studies found that higher levels of the novel adipokine omentin-1 were associated with higher adiponectin and lower levels of risk factors for type 2 diabetes, but its relevance for incident type 2 diabetes is currently not understood. Therefore this study investigated whether serum omentin-1 was associated with changes in glycaemia and incident type 2 diabetes independently of adiponectin.

Design and methods
The study was based on participants aged 62–81 years from the population-based Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg (KORA) F4/FF4 cohort. Associations of baseline serum levels of omentin-1 and adiponectin with changes in glycaemia were assessed in 471 non-diabetic participants, and associations between both adipokines and incident type 2 diabetes were assessed in 76 cases and 430 non-cases (follow-up time 6.5 years). Multivariable linear and logistic regression models were adjusted for multiple potential confounders.

Results
Higher serum levels of omentin-1 were associated with increases in fasting glucose, 2-h glucose and HbA1c (all P < 0.001) and with incident type 2 diabetes (adjusted odds ratio (OR) (95% CI): 1.40 (1.03; 1.90) per s.d. of log2-transformed omentin-1; P = 0.032). These associations were independent from adiponectin levels, which showed associations with changes in glycaemia and risk of type 2 diabetes in the opposite direction. We found no statistically significant interactions of omentin-1 with adiponectin or sex in the association with incident type 2 diabetes (all P > 0.1).

Conclusions
Systemic levels of omentin-1 were positively associated with increases in glycaemia and incident type 2 diabetes in this older population. These associations were independent of potential confounders including adiponectin.
Risk Prediction Modeling on Family-Based Sequencing Data Using a Random Field Method
Authors: Wen Yalu , Burt Alexandra , Lu Qing 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
Family-based design is one of the most popular designs in genetic studies and has many unique features for risk-prediction research. It is robust against genetic heterogeneity, and the relatedness among family members can be informative for predicting an individual’s risk for disease with polygenic and shared environmental components of risk. Despite these strengths, family-based designs have been used infrequently in current risk-prediction studies, and their related statistical methods have not been well developed. In this article, we developed a generalized random field (GRF) method for family-based risk-prediction modeling on sequencing data. In GRF, subjects’ phenotypes are viewed as stochastic realizations of a random field in a space, and a subject’s phenotype is predicted by adjacent subjects, where adjacencies between subjects are determined by their genetic and within-family similarities. Different from existing methods that adjust for familial correlations, the GRF uses this information to form surrogates to further improve prediction accuracy. It also uses within-family information to capture predictors (e.g., rare mutations) that are homogeneous in families. Through simulations, we have demonstrated that the GRF method attained better performance than an existing method by considering additional information from family members and accounting for genetic heterogeneity. We further provided practical recommendations for designing family-based risk prediction studies. Finally, we illustrated the GRF method with an application to a whole-genome exome data set from the Michigan State University Twin Registry study.

Abstract
Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii is the causative agent of cryptococcal meningitis, a significant source of mortality in immunocompromised individuals, typically human immunodeficiency virus/AIDS patients from developing countries. Despite the worldwide emergence of this ubiquitous infection, little is known about the global molecular epidemiology of this fungal pathogen. Here we sequence the genomes of 188 diverse isolates and characterize the major subdivisions, their relative diversity, and the level of genetic exchange between them. While most isolates of C. neoformans var. grubii belong to one of three major lineages (VNI, VNII, and VNB), some haploid isolates show hybrid ancestry including some that appear to have recently interbred, based on the detection of large blocks of each ancestry across each chromosome. Many isolates display evidence of aneuploidy, which was detected for all chromosomes. In diploid isolates of C. neoformans var. grubii (serotype AA) and of hybrids with C. neoformans var. neoformans (serotype AD) such aneuploidies have resulted in loss of heterozygosity, where a chromosomal region is represented by the genotype of only one parental isolate. Phylogenetic and population genomic analyses of isolates from Brazil reveal that the previously “African” VNB lineage occurs naturally in the South American environment. This suggests migration of the VNB lineage between Africa and South America prior to its diversification, supported by finding ancestral recombination events between isolates from different lineages and regions. The results provide evidence of substantial population structure, with all lineages showing multi-continental distributions; demonstrating the highly dispersive nature of this pathogen.
ESTUDIO TEÓRICO DEL FERROMAGNETISMO DE LA SUPERFICIE m-GaN DOPADA CON Mn
Authors: Martínez Oscar , López William , González Alvaro , González Rafael 
Published: July 2017

Se realizaron cálculos de primeros principios para estudiar las propiedades estructurales, electrónicas y magnéticas de la superficie m-GaN dopada con manganeso (Mn). Este dopaje generó un momento magnético total de 4 µB debido a la interacción de los estados 2p-N y 3d-Mn. Se encontró que el dopaje de Mn es responsable del 82 % de la magnetización total de la superficie. Además, el dopaje generó cambios estructurales en la superficie y se evidenciaron en las distancias entre las capas atómicas “d12, d23, d34, d45”. La superficie mostró propiedades de metal y semiconductor simultáneamente, estos materiales son llamados “half-metalic”, dependiendo de la polarización del espín. Se determinó la posición sustitucional del dopaje mas estable energéticamente, así mismo se observó que este dopaje generó menos cambios estructurales como lo muestran los porcentajes de cambio en las distancias entre capas atómicas “∆d12, ∆d23, ∆d34, ∆d45”
Uso potencial de lixiviados y tés de vermicompost en el control del ojo de gallo del cafeto <i>Mycena citricolor</i>
Authors: Zamora Karen 
Published: July 2017

El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el efecto de tés y lixiviados de vermicompost obtenidos a partir de diferentes materiales de origen animal y vegetal, sobre la supresión del hongo M. citricolor en hojas de cafeto (Coffea arabica) en condiciones de laboratorio. A las hojas de cafeto se les aplicó tés de vermicompost de diferentes estiércoles, de broza de café y de una mezcla de lixiviados de vermicompost de broza de café y estiércol bovino, previo a la inoculación con el hongo M. citricolor. Se evaluó la incidencia (porcentaje de hojas enfermas) y severidad (porcentaje de área foliar dañada), el número de lesiones con gemas y de estructuras reproductivas del hongo (gemas). Se observó diferencias dentro de cada grupo de abono, así, cuando se aplicaron tés a base de vermicompost de estiércoles, se encontró que el té de vermicompost de estiércol caprino favoreció el desarrollo de los síntomas de la enfermedad, pues presentó un 16,5% más de área foliar dañada y un mayor número de lesiones con gemas, comparado con el tratamiento testigo; por el contrario el tratamiento con té de vermicompost de estiércol bovino presentó un 50% menos de hojas enfermas que el tratamiento testigo y no presentó lesiones con gemas. El uso de tés de vermicompost de broza de café aumentó el desarrollo de la enfermedad con un porcentaje de hojas enfermas y del área foliar dañada superior al testigo en más de un 20%. En el caso de los tratamientos con lixiviados de vermicompost, aquellos a base de vermicompost de broza, no presentaron lesiones con formación de gemas.
El calcio es un nutriente limitante en cafetales bajo manejo intensivo de fertilizantes en ultisoles
Authors: Castro-Tanzi Sebastián 
Published: July 2017

La producción intensiva de café (Coffea arabica) demanda cantidades considerables de potasio (K) y nitrógeno (N). En agroecosistemas fertilizados con N, K y P, es razonable prever que el calcio (Ca) ó el magnesio (Mg) resulten limitantes. Se exploró la relación entre la fertilidad de K, Ca y Mg en el suelo y su efecto nutritivo en hojas de café cultivado en Ultisoles; también se analizaron asociaciones entre la variación de estos macronutrientes en el tejido foliar y la productividad del cultivo. Se tomaron 6 muestras de suelo y de tejido foliar durante 2 años en 26 fincas cafetaleras del cantón de Tarrazú, Costa Rica. Para cada nutriente se construyeron modelos de regresión lineal y para desarrollarlos se relacionaron el contenido de los mismos en tejido foliar y en la solución intercambiable del suelo. A partir del modelo se establecieron asociaciones entre Ca, Mg y K en las hojas y de 2 categorías, definidas entre menor y mayor productividad, lo que generó así, un quasiexperimento de bloques al azar. El contraste entre productividades se utilizó para analizar la variación de los macronutrientes en el tejido foliar. El análisis de variancia reveló que las hojas de las parcelas de alta productividad contenían más Ca que aquellas con menor rendimiento. Igualmente, el contenido de K y las relaciones Ca/K y Ca/N en estas últimas muestras fue relativamente menor (valor-p<0,05). Esto corrobora la importancia del Ca en la productividad de café sobre Ultisoles.
