John Wevers: a life in local politics in Maastricht
From 1974 until 1994 John Wevers was alderman in Maastricht (an old city in the deep south of the Netherlands) in the area of urban development. Before (from 1967 until 1974) Wevers was already a political activist in this domain. In 2016 he published his autobiography, which is very interesting for several reasons. The autobiography not only gives insight in the policy and the organization in the area of urban renewal in that period, but also in the functioning of local politics in general. At his farewell as an alderman in 1994 Wevers was the last remnant of a generation of Dutch Labour politicians (the other three were Adri Duivesteijn in The Hague, Ypke Gietema in Groningen and Fons Asselbergs in Amersfoort) who made architecture a public matter during the eighties. During the seventies Wevers also belonged to the generation of Dutch Labour politicians (amongst Jan van der Ploeg in Rotterdam, Max van den Berg in Groningen and Jan Schaefer in Amsterdam) who propagated the human scale and living in the inner city for ordinary people. In this respect they could rightfully call themselves the heirs of the legendary Labour alderman Floor Wibaut (alderman in Amsterdam from 1914 until 1931).

Espera-se, através de uma comparação entre três ações de cada uma das áreas citadas acima, compreender o grau de compartilhamento de soberania dos países do bloco nestas duas áreas temáticas, que, não apenas estão presentes desde a criação do mesmo, mas também são temas cada vez mais discutidos nas agendas atuais da União Europeia. </span>
Teoria das relações internacionais: a pluralidade absoluta e a pluralidade relativa da disciplina
Authors: Gomes Daniel Costa 
Published: May 2017

<p>O presente trabalho é um estudo sobre a disciplina Teoria das Relações Internacionais. Tem-se por objetivo analisar a evolução da disciplina, de modo a verificar se a difusão de cursos de Relações Internacionais em países periféricos tem sido acompanhada pela emergência de novas teorias, de novas perspectivas em relação ao conhecimento científico e de novas formas de se ensinar a disciplina. Para auferir isso, o artigo é dividido em duas partes, em que se analisam, respectivamente, a narrativa tradicional e as novas narrativas na disciplina. Foram formulados dois conceitos: pluralidade absoluta (critério quantitativo) e pluralidade relativa (critério qualitativo). Duas conclusões principais são alcançadas. A primeira: numericamente, a disciplina Teoria das Relações Internacionais se tornou mais plural, em decorrência do surgimento de teorias, de cursos de graduação, de programas de pós-graduação e de periódicos especializados. Assim, constata-se pluralidade absoluta. A segunda conclusão: a diversidade, conceituada como pluralidade relativa, ainda não se consolidou na disciplina. Afinal, as novas teorias geralmente constituem variantes dos mesmos matizes, a língua inglesa continua a dominar nos livros e nos periódicos, as grades curriculares apresentam poucas variações, as novas formas de pensar as Relações Internacionais normalmente são consideradas não científicas.</p>
Representing Ethnicity in Contemporary French Visual Culture
Authors: McGonagle Joseph 
Published: May 2017

The issue of ethnicity in France, and how ethnicities are represented there visually, remains one of the most important and polemical aspects of French post-colonial politics and society. This is the first book to analyse how a range of different ethnicities have been represented across contemporary French visual culture. Via a wide series of case studies – from the worldwide hit film Amélie to France’s popular TV series Plus belle la vie – it probes how ethnicities have been represented across different media, including film, photography, television and the visual arts. Four chapters examine distinct areas of particular importance: national identity, people of Algerian heritage, Jewishness and France’s second city Marseille.
Chemical mass transport between fluid fine tailings and the overlying water cover of an oil sands end pit lake

Published: May 2017

AbstractFluid fine tailings (FFT) are a principal by‐product of the bitumen extraction process at oil sands mines. Base Mine Lake (BML)—the first full‐scale demonstration oil sands end pit lake (EPL)—contains approximately 1.9 × 108 m3 of FFT stored under a water cover within a decommissioned mine pit. Chemical mass transfer from the FFT to the water cover can occur via two key processes: (1) advection‐dispersion driven by tailings settlement; and (2) FFT disturbance due to fluid movement in the water cover. Dissolved chloride (Cl) was used to evaluate the water cover mass balance and to track mass transport within the underlying FFT based on field sampling and numerical modeling. Results indicated that FFT was the dominant Cl source to the water cover and that the FFT is exhibiting a transient advection‐dispersion mass transport regime with intermittent disturbance near the FFT‐water interface. The advective pore water flux was estimated by the mass balance to be 0.002 m3 m−2 d−1, which represents 0.73 m of FFT settlement per year. However, the FFT pore water Cl concentrations and corresponding mass transport simulations indicated that advection rates and disturbance depths vary between sample locations. The disturbance depth was estimated to vary with location between 0.75 and 0.95 m. This investigation provides valuable insight for assessing the geochemical evolution of the water cover and performance of EPLs as an oil sands reclamation strategy.

AbstractClimate forecasts predict an increase in frequency and intensity of wildfires. Associations between health outcomes and population exposure to smoke from Washington 2012 wildfires were compared using surface monitors, chemical‐weather models, and a novel method blending three exposure information sources. The association between smoke particulate matter ≤2.5 μm in diameter (PM2.5) and cardiopulmonary hospital admissions occurring in Washington from 1 July to 31 October 2012 was evaluated using a time‐stratified case‐crossover design. Hospital admissions aggregated by ZIP code were linked with population‐weighted daily average concentrations of smoke PM2.5 estimated using three distinct methods: a simulation with the Weather Research and Forecasting with Chemistry (WRF‐Chem) model, a kriged interpolation of PM2.5 measurements from surface monitors, and a geographically weighted ridge regression (GWR) that blended inputs from WRF‐Chem, satellite observations of aerosol optical depth, and kriged PM2.5. A 10 μg/m3 increase in GWR smoke PM2.5 was associated with an 8% increased risk in asthma‐related hospital admissions (odds ratio (OR): 1.076, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.019–1.136); other smoke estimation methods yielded similar results. However, point estimates for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) differed by smoke PM2.5 exposure method: a 10 μg/m3 increase using GWR was significantly associated with increased risk of COPD (OR: 1.084, 95%CI: 1.026–1.145) and not significant using WRF‐Chem (OR: 0.986, 95%CI: 0.931–1.045). The magnitude (OR) and uncertainty (95%CI) of associations between smoke PM2.5 and hospital admissions were dependent on estimation method used and outcome evaluated. Choice of smoke exposure estimation method used can impact the overall conclusion of the study.
The robustness of future changes in Northern Hemisphere blocking: A large ensemble projection with multiple sea surface temperature patterns
Authors: Matsueda Mio , Endo Hirokazu 
Published: May 2017

AbstractFuture changes in the frequency of Northern Hemisphere blocking are investigated via large ensemble simulations using a 60 km mesh atmospheric general circulation model prescribed with six future sea surface temperature patterns derived from state‐of‐the‐art climate models under a 4 K warmer climate. Our simulations depict the frequency of wintertime blocking decreasing from 16.6% ± 0.7% to 13.1% ± 2.1% in the Euro‐Atlantic sector and from 17.4% ± 0.7% to 14.8% ± 2.4% in the Pacific sector. This decline in frequency is seen to affect Euro‐Atlantic blocking of all durations and Pacific blocking of more than 15 days' duration. During summer, our simulations not only exhibit a robust decrease (from 10.7% ± 0.4% to 7.6% ± 0.7%) in the Euro‐Atlantic blocking frequency but also show that the magnitude of this decrease is smaller for longer‐lived blocking. In contrast, the Pacific blocking frequency either does not change or increases slightly, particularly for events of 15–29 days' duration.
Early Events in the Ethylene Biosynthetic Pathway – Regulation of the Pools of Methionine andS‐Adenosylmethionine
Authors: Bürstenbinder Katharina , Sauter Margret 
Published: May 2017

AbstractEthylene is synthesized fromS‐adenosylmethionine (SAM), an activated form of methionine (Met). Continuous supply of SAM and hence of Met is necessary for the maintenance of prolonged ethylene synthesis, especially when it occurs at high rates. Met can be replenished throughde novosynthesis and through the Yang cycle, which recycles 5′‐methylthioadenosine (MTA), the by‐product of ethylene synthesis, to Met. This chapter summarizes the pathways and regulation of Met and SAM syntheses with a particular focus on the regulation by ethylene. While the Yang cycle was discovered about three decades ago, not all of the respective genes have yet been identified in any one plant to date. In rice, one of the genes encoding acireductone dioxygenase (ARD) is under immediate control of ethylene whereas inArabidopsisno known Yang cycle gene is regulated by ethylene, likely reflecting species‐specific requirements for ethylene production during development and stress adaptation. The molecular mechanisms by which ethylene synthesis and Met/SAM production are coordinated still await discovery. As ethylene synthesis is a major means to control ethylene levels, unravelling these mechanisms is certainly of interest.
Ethylene and Fruit Ripening

Published: May 2017

AbstractThe ripening of fleshy fruit is a developmentally regulated process unique to plants during which the majority of the sensory quality attributes are elaborated including aroma, flavour, texture and nutritional compounds. In climacteric fruit, the plant hormone ethylene is the key regulator of the ripening process as exemplified by the dramatic inhibition of fruit ripening that results from the down‐expression ofACC(1‐amino‐cyclopropane‐1‐carboxylic acid)synthaseandACC oxidasegenes involved in ethylene biosynthesis. By contrast, the ripening of non‐climacteric fruit is not dependent on ethylene but rather on cues of unknown nature though ethylene may contribute at least partly to the control of some aspects of the ripening process. The expression of the ripening‐associated genes is regulated by a network of signalling pathways among which ethylene perception and transduction play a primary role. Building on the knowledge gained on theArabidopsis thalianamodel system, the importance of ethylene signalling in fruit ripening has been extensively studied. This chapter summarizes the present knowledge on the role of ethylene in fruit ripening and addresses the molecular mechanisms involved in ethylene perception and responses. It also highlights recent advances and prospects on the means by which the ethylene transduction pathway leads to diversified physiological responses and how ethylene signalling interacts with other hormones to activate the expression of ripening‐related genes. While this review mostly refers to the tomato as major model for fruit research, it also gives insight on the ripening process in other fruit species, including non‐climacteric types.
Ethylene: Multi‐Tasker in Plant–Attacker Interactions
Authors: Van der Ent Sjoerd , Pieterse Corné M.J. 
Published: May 2017

AbstractIn the past decades, the role of ethylene in the regulation of plant responses to biotic stress has been intensively studied. Analyses of plant genotypes that are impaired in ethylene biosynthesis, perception or signalling revealed an important role for ethylene in the primary response to pathogen attack. In addition, ethylene has been demonstrated to fulfil a key function in the control of systemic immune responses that are induced by beneficial micro‐organisms. Although the importance of ethylene in the regulation of plant immune responses is evident, its role in stimulating disease resistance or susceptibility appears to depend greatly on the plant–attacker combination. Whereas in many studies ethylene was demonstrated to facilitate disease resistance or tolerance, in other studies ethylene was shown to support pathogen infection. Recent advances in defence‐signalling research have revealed that ethylene plays an important role in modulating interactions between defence‐signalling pathways that are regulated by either salicylic acid (SA) or jasmonic acid (JA). By functioning as a modulator of these important defence‐regulatory pathways, ethylene may play a decisive positive or negative role in the final outcome of the immune response of a plant.
The Morphology and Development of Lycophytes
Authors: Ambrose Barbara A. 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
During the Carboniferous Period around 350 million years ago, lycophytes dominated the landscape, comprising about 50% of the world's flora. Today, however, lycophytes are mostly inconspicuous plants, representing only about 0.5% of the flora. Studying the morphology of the lycophytes is integral to our understanding of land plant evolution and development because the lycophytes are sister to all other vascular plants. They represent an evolutionary lineage that has been distinct from other vascular plants, a lineage that has evolved growth forms and organs analogous to vascular plants and other organs that are homologous to those found in their sister group. As such, they provide a fascinating comparison for evolutionary developmental studies. The overall morphology of the lycophytes is relatively simple, with the sporophyte body composed of root, stem, microphyll, and sporangium. Three families comprise the present‐day lycophytes: (1) Lycopodiaceae, (2) Isoetaceae, and (3) Selaginellaceae. Their unifying feature is the presence of a single sporangium per leaf, and this sporangium is located on the adaxial side of the leaf. Here, I briefly discuss the morphology and development of key lycophyte structures including meristems, sporangia, microphylls, rhizophores, and ligules.
Evolutionary Morphology of Ferns (Monilophytes)
Authors: Schneider Harald 
Published: May 2017

AbstractThroughout its long history, concepts of plant morphology have been mainly developed by studying seed plants, in particular angiosperms. This chapter provides an overview to the morphology of ferns by exploring the evolutionary background of the early diversification of ferns, by discussing the main structures and organs of ferns, and finally by exploring our current knowledge of fern genomics and evolutionary developmental biology. Horsetails (Equisetopsida) and whisk ferns (Psilotales) are treated as part of the fern lineage. Throughout the chapter, I employ a process‐oriented approach, which combines the process orientation of the Arberian Fuzzy Morphology with the process orientation of Darwinian evolution as reflected in current phylogenetics.
Genomics, Adaptation, and the Evolution of Plant Form
Authors: Shepard Kristen 
Published: May 2017

AbstractA central question in the evolution of plant development is to understand how modifications of plant form contribute to adaptation within a species. Molecular population genomics and quantitative genetics offer complementary tools for answering this question. Quantitative trait locus mapping identifies genetic variation that underlies variation in plant form, while analyses of nucleotide diversity illuminate the evolutionary history of developmentally relevant genes. By combining these tools with developmental genetic characterization of natural sequence variants and with ecological experiments that test adaptive hypotheses, recent studies have begun to tease apart the genetic basis of adaptation. This chapter includes an overview of genome‐wide mapping and population genomic methods, as well as case studies detailing the application of these techniques in root development, plant domestication, phytochrome‐mediated phenotypic variation, and regulation of flowering time.
One‐year weight change and long‐term sickness absence in professional firefighters
Authors: Choi BongKyoo 
Published: May 2017

BackgroundLittle is known about the association between weight change (particularly moderate weight loss, 5‐10% in initial weight) and long‐term sickness absence (LSA) in working populations.MethodsThree hundred and forty professional firefighters reported their current and past (1 year ago) weights in a cross‐sectional survey, along with their LSA experience due to a severe accident, injury, or illness during the previous 12 months.ResultsThe prevalence of LSA was 14.7%. In the non‐smoking male firefighters, the prevalence of LSA was 3.4% in those with moderate weight loss over the past year; 13.3% in those who maintained their weight; and 21.7% in those who gained their weight moderately: gamma coefficient, 0.44 (95%CI: 0.05, 0.66). The linear association remained significant after further controlling for age and alcohol consumption. And it was similar across the adiposity strata (normal weight, overweight, and obesity) of the firefighters 1 year ago.ConclusionsOne‐year weight loss was associated with decreased risk of LSA in professional firefighters.
Aryne–Imine–Aryne Coupling Reaction via [4+2] Cycloaddition between Aza‐o‐Quinone Methides and Arynes

Published: May 2017

AbstractA direct method for the synthesis of acridane derivatives based upon a 2:1 coupling reaction between arynes and imines was developed. The reaction proceeds through formation of transient aza‐ortho‐quinone methides arising from a net [2+2] cycloaddition between arynes and imines. Introduction of steric bulk into an imine carbon has proven to be vital for this facile coupling.

AbstractEinkaufszentren, Sport‐ und Veranstaltungsgebäude sowie Hallenkonstruktionen des Industrie‐ und Gewerbebaus weisen durch ihre große Ausdehnung bei gleichzeitiger Anforderung einer barrierefreien Nutzung Brandabschnittsgrößen auf, die baurechtlich definierte Grenzen um ein Vielfaches überschreiten können. Auf Grundlage des § 2 Abs. 4 der Muster‐Bauordnung (MBO 2002) werden dementsprechende Gebäude infolge ihrer Nutzung und/oder Brandabschnittsgrößen als Sonderbauten klassifiziert.Der bauliche Brandschutz für Industriebauten wird auf Grundlage der länderspezifischen Industriebaurichtlinien geregelt. Dabei werden an die Bedachung in Brand‐ oder Brandbekämpfungsabschnitten mit mehr als 2 500 m2 Anforderungen an eine „behinderte Brandausbreitung” gestellt. Eine Möglichkeit zum Nachweis einer „behinderten Brandausbreitung” erfolgt für diese Bedachungselemente in Deutschland durch die Prüfnorm DIN 18234. Als Beurteilungskriterien in der Brandprüfung werden die Brandweiterleitung, das Abfallen von Bestandteilen des Dachs, fortschreitendes Glimmen innerhalb der Dachkonstruktion und die Tragfähigkeit unter Eigenlast berücksichtigt.In einem Forschungsprojekt konnten neben den grundlegenden Erkenntnissen zum Baustoff Holz und zu verwendeten Beplankungs‐ und Bekleidungsmaterialien hinsichtlich des thermischen Verhaltens unter Naturbrandszenarien weiterführende Erkenntnisse zur Brandweiterleitung hölzerner Bedachungen, zum Glimmbrandverhalten biogener Baustoffe und zur brandschutztechnisch sicheren Ausbildung von Elementfugen und Anschlüssen im Holzbau gewonnen werden. Die Untersuchung brandschutztechnischer Ertüchtigungsmaßnahmen zur Gewährleistung des bauaufsichtlich geforderten Sicherheitsniveaus mit anschließender Erstellung eines Bauteilkatalogs stellte den Schwerpunkt der Untersuchungen dar.

Published: May 2017

AbstractTo increase game loyalty but decrease game addiction, this study examines online game social migration and tests the mediating effects of offline social value and maladaptive cognition on the basis of the theory of consumption value and the cognitive behavioral model of pathological Internet use. The results are as follows: (i) Overall, online game social migration is associated with greater game loyalty and less game addiction; (ii) The positive association between online game social migration and game loyalty was mediated by offline social value; and (iii) Online game social migration is associated with lower game addiction. This paper provides a new perspective (taking into account both business interests and players' psychological health) for online game research and also offers practical guidance for cooperation between game companies and the public.
