La sémiotique de Greimas: Une épistémologie (discursive) immanente
Authors: Beividas Waldir 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
The concept of immanence occupies today a central and, at the same time, uncomfortable place among semioticians. Some criticize it overtly, others feel the concept has fulfilled its role as a methodological regulator of descriptions and its scope that should be enlarged so as to integrate context, practices, interactions, in short, the human experience. This paper presents immanence through another light. According to Hjelmslev’s Prolegomena, after having suspended transcendent data in the name of methodological immanence – as “the price that had to be paid to elicit from language itself its secret” – “immanence and transcendence are joined in a higher unity on the basis of immanence.” From the methodological level, we move up to the epistemological level of knowledge, whose main thesis condenses its reach: language is the form by which we conceive the world. Greimas also has piercing formulations in this sense. He embraces the immanent methodology and presents his semiotics as an immanent epistemology of knowledge. In this sense, he proposes that science in its entirety is one single language, where the natural sciences operate on the expression plane and the humanities operate on the content plane of this macro-language.

AbstractSpongy degeneration with cerebellar ataxia (SDCA) is a genetically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorder with autosomal recessive inheritance in Malinois dogs, one of the four varieties of the Belgian Shepherd breed. Using a combined linkage and homozygosity mapping approach we identified an ∼10.6 Mb critical interval on chromosome 5 in a Malinois family with four puppies affected by cerebellar dysfunction. Visual inspection of the 10.6 Mb interval in whole-genome sequencing data from one affected puppy revealed a 227 bp SINE insertion into the ATP1B2 gene encoding the β2 subunit of the Na+/K+-ATPase holoenzyme (ATP1B2:c.130_131insLT796559.1:g.50_276). The SINE insertion caused aberrant RNA splicing. Immunohistochemistry suggested a reduction of ATP1B2 protein expression in the central nervous system of affected puppies. Atp1b2 knockout mice had previously been reported to show clinical and neurohistopathological findings similar to the affected Malinois puppies. Therefore, we consider ATP1B2:c.130_131ins227 the most likely candidate causative variant for a second subtype of SDCA in Malinois dogs, which we propose to term spongy degeneration with cerebellar ataxia subtype 2 (SDCA2). Our study further elucidates the genetic and phenotypic complexity underlying cerebellar dysfunction in Malinois dogs and provides the basis for a genetic test to eradicate one specific neurodegenerative disease from the breeding population in Malinois and the other varieties of the Belgian Shepherd breed. ATP1B2 thus represents another candidate gene for human inherited cerebellar ataxias, and SDCA2-affected Malinois puppies may serve as a naturally occurring animal model for this disorder.
Evaluation of ‘Arrayana’ tangerine (<i>Citrus reticulata</i> Blanco) grafted onto different rootstocks in tropical lowlands of Colombian Orinoquia, 2005-2011 (second cycle)

'Arrayana' tangerine (Citrus reticulta Blanco) is the most cultivated variety in Meta piedmont; it is mainly grafted onto the 'Cleopatra' tangerine rootstock (Citrus reshni hort. ex Tanaka). Plants grafted onto this rootstock have a late production entrance, produce big plants and their yield is affected by the rainfall patterns that occur during the dry season. Five rootstocks were evaluated to identify the one with the best productive performance for 'Arrayana' tangerine. The experiment was established in 1997. The report of the first five harvest was published in 2006. This report shows the results of six additional pickings. The rootstocks with the highest yields were citrumelo 'Swingle' (CPB 4475) and Sunki x English (SxE), without statistical differences, followed by Sunki x Jacobson (SxJ) (no statistical differences with SxE), 'Cleopatra' and 'Volkamer'. The lowest yield was obtained from 'Carrizo'. Citrumelo 'Swingle', SxE, SxJ and 'Volkamer' obtained plants of 'Arrayana' tangerine with less height and volume than 'Cleopatra'; the best productive efficiency was obtained by SxJ followed by citrumelo 'Swingle', SxE (no statistical differences) markedly higher than 'Cleopatra' and 'Carrizo'. Citrumelo 'Swingle' produced 2,438 kg/plant in 11 pickings overpassing SxE by 1,776.6 kg of fruit per plant, 'Volkamer' (1,572.99 kg/plant) and SxJ (1,498.95 kg/ plant). Citrumelo 'Swingle' outyielded 'Cleopatra' by more than 1 t per tree in cumulative yield of 11 pickings. All rootstocks showed good fruit quality for domestic market.
Effect of fertilization level on water use and production of corn (Zea mays L.) in a cereal producing area in Colombia - a modeling exercise using AquaCrop-FAO
Authors: García A. Javier , Fischer Gerhard , Riaño H. Nestor 
Published: June 2017

The effect of the amount of fertilization applied to the corn variety 'ICA V-156' (white grain) was calibrated and validated with the simulator AquaCrop in Cerete (Cordoba, Colombia) at an altitude of 20 m. The fertilization level determined factors related to biomass production, the harvest index, yield and water use, and potential evapotranspiration (Eto). The basic information which calibrated and validated the model came from research conducted in different altitudes in maize growing areas in Colombia. Unexpectedly, the water shortages occurred during the growing season, which the modelling had not considered. Levels of 90 to 60% of fertilization were applied to the crop according to the analysis of the evaluated soil. The information was subjected to an analysis of variance; the results showed that the level of fertilization affected the formation of biomass, harvest index and yield, as well as, the use of water during the growing season. The ETo values were extreme at 0.9 and 7.3 mm day-1. Likewise the total biomass production was 4.64% less at the level of 90 and 25.04% less at 60% fertilization, as compared to the biomass measurements in the field. Similarly, the harvest index was 32.3 and 29.8% for the 90 and 60% levels of fertilization, respectively; on the other hand the grain yield was not affected by the highest level (90%), whereas when the reduction in fertilization was 40%, a decrease of 14.335% in the grain yield was obtained. In addition, per m3 of water 18.87 and 23.02 kg of grain for the fertilization levels of 60 and 90% were formed, respectively.

Se presenta el diagnóstico del estado de organización y conservación de la colección de escarabajos coprófagos (Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) del Museo Entomológico Francisco Luis Gallego, de acuerdo con los diferentes niveles de curaduría del Índice de Salud de Colecciones (ISC). Se evaluaron 2405 especímenes con el fin de obtener información sobre el perfil de organización de la colección y las prioridades de gestión de la misma. El mayor porcentaje de especímenes se encontraron en los niveles dos (30.6%): ausencia de un proceso curatorial adecuado; y cinco (30.2%): curaduría completa, pero sin nomenclatura taxonómica actualizada. El índice de salud muestra que el 68.9% de la colección requiere actividades curatoriales. Las prioridades de manejo se enfocan en los niveles dos y tres, referentes a la organización física y accesibilidad al material por especialistas. Los resultados sugieren la necesidad de aumentar esfuerzos en el procesamiento taxonómico y visita de especialistas. Además es urgente catalogar, sistematizar e incorporar especímenes en la colección taxonómica central.

A lipomák az emésztőtraktusban ritkán fordulnak elő, leggyakrabban a subcutisban
találhatók. Általában nem okoznak panaszt, eltávolításra csak a tünetekkel járó
(vérzés, passzázszavar) lipomák kerülnek. Három, gastrointestinalis lipoma miatt
sikerrel operált betegünk esetét mutatjuk be: egy duodenalis (a bulbusból 4
cm-es lipomát enucleáltunk), egy vékonybél (intussusceptiót okozó lipoma az
ileumban; a bizonytalan makroszkópos kép miatt szegmentreszekciót végeztünk),
illetve egy vastagbéllipoma (47 cm-re az anustól elhelyezkedő, időszakos
elzáródást okozó nyeles lipomát colotomiából távolítottunk el).

Az akut has életet veszélyeztető állapot, amelynek azonnali helyes megítélése,
diagnózisa és kezelése mind a mai napig komoly kihívást jelent a műtéti
szakmában. A szerzők célul tűzték ki négy akut beteg diagnosztikai nehézséget
okozó kórképének a bemutatását, amiket nagyméretű benignus ovariumtumorok
okoztak. A benignus ovariumtumorok döntő többsége véletlenül kerül felismerésre,
például más okból elvégzett kismedencei fizikális vagy képalkotó vizsgálat,
egyéb okból végzett hasi műtétek során. Gyakran akut hasi tüneteket okoznak. A
kórtörténet, a fizikális vizsgálat és a képalkotó eljárások eredményei sem
vezetnek el mindig a pontos diagnózishoz. A szerzők a hasi feltárás során
jutottak el a betegség pontos felismeréséhez, s ez után tudták a megfelelő
műtétet elvégezni. A műtétet követően mind a négy beteg gyógyultan távozott a
kórházból.

A Hartmann-műtétet eredetileg a rectosigmoideum tumoros betegségeinek kezelésére
alkalmazták. Az utóbbi években a bal colonfél gyulladás okozta szövődmények,
tumoros bélelzáródás, perforáció, reszekciót követő varratelégtelenség esetén,
továbbá trauma okozta bélsérülés sürgős ellátására alkalmazzák, ha az
anasztomózis készítése kockázatos. A későbbi gastrointestinalis tractus
folytonosságának helyreállítása lehetséges hagyományos vagy laparoscopos úton.
Ez utóbbi technikával végzett műtéttel kapcsolatos tapasztalatainkat mutatjuk
be, összehasonlítva eredményeinket a hagyományos műtéti megoldással.

REHABILITATION OF POLLUTED URBAN AREAS

Published: June 2017

Industrial structures, residential buildings and other objects of infrastructure are being constructed in many Russian cities now. In addition to new constructions, reconstruction and rebuilding of existing buildings is also being performed. Meanwhile, such construction objects are situated not only in open suburban areas but also in urban districts and city zones. Often it is necessary to dismantle or demolish old run-down buildings or distressed structures before constructing new buildings. Such works always cause large amounts of construction waste.
To accommodate constructive materials for new structures and to store elements of disassembled buildings and construction wastes special storage grounds are used. Being of temporal nature, these storage grounds are not capable to ensure full protection of the environment from pollution.
The team of employees of Samara State Technical University investigated several districts of the city of Samara. This investigation revealed that in all temporary dumping sites construction wastes amount to 8% and dumping sites of a mixed type containing construction wastes – to 35%.
The majority of temporary dumping sites are removed in a short time. Mostly, it is done by collection and removal of construction waste to special waste landfills. At the same time, the investigation demonstrated that though these dumping sites are temporal, their existence causes environmental pollution of underlying open ground as repugnant substance penetrates the ground with rains and pollution of airspace as light pollutants are dispersed by wind. Moreover, even after these temporary dumping sites are removed, already polluted soil layers continue to pollute soils as a secondary pollutant source.
The authors offer a technical solution which allow to carry out rehabilitation of polluted urban areas more effectively. In particular, it is recommended to remove waste from the temporary dumping sites stage by stage. At the first stage, off-site areas should be inspected and the extent of pollution (pollution depth) of underground layers should be estimated. At the next stage, a protective barrier in the ground around the dumping site and on the surface should be built. Only after that we recommend that wastes should be removed and sent to a waste recycling plant or to a specially equipped waste landfill. Then, it is required to cut off all polluted soils and to remove them to a special waste landfill for storage.
Thus, this solution makes it possible to reduce the risk of secondary environmental pollution.
AUTO-SCALING AND ADJUSTMENT PLATFORM FOR CLOUD-BASED SYSTEMS
Authors: Kampars Jānis , Pinka Krišjānis 
Published: June 2017

For customers of cloud-computing platforms it is important to minimize the infrastructure footprint and associated costs while providing required levels of Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) dictated by the Service Level Agreement (SLA). To assist with that cloud service providers are offering: (1) horizontal resource scaling through provisioning and destruction of virtual machines and containers, (2) vertical scaling through changing the capacity of individual cloud nodes. Existing scaling solutions mostly concentrate on low-level metrics like CPU load and memory consumption which doesn’t always correlate with the level of SLA conformity. Such technical measures should be preprocessed and viewed from a higher level of abstraction. Application level metrics should also be considered when deciding upon scaling the cloud-based solution. Existing scaling platforms are mostly proprietary technologies owned by cloud service providers themselves or by third parties and offered as Software as a Service. Enterprise applications could span infrastructures of multiple public and private clouds, dictating that the auto-scaling solution should not be isolated inside a single cloud infrastructure.
The goal of this paper is to address the challenges above by presenting the architecture of Auto-scaling and Adjustment Platform for Cloud-based Systems (ASAPCS). It is based on open-source technologies and supports integration of various low and high level performance metrics, providing higher levels of abstraction for design of scaling algorithms. ASAPCS can be used with any cloud service provider and guarantees that move from one cloud platform to another will not result in complete redesign of the scaling algorithm. ASAPCS itself is horizontally scalable and can process large amounts of real-time data which is particularly important for applications developed following the microservices architectural style. ASAPCS approaches the scaling problem in a nonstandard way by considering real-time adjustments of the application logic to be part of the scalability strategy if it can result in performance improvements.

Introduction. Treating children with degenerative dystrophic diseases of the hip joint has become one of the most acute problems in contemporary orthopedics. Until recently, we performed arthroplasty by demineralized bone-cartilage allocups (DBCA) in the Clinic of the Hip Joint Pathology of the Turner Scientific and Research Institute for Children’s Orthopedics for patients showing clinical and radiological signs of irreversible destruction of the hip joint; we carried out this procedure to preserve the function of the lower limb. However, over the last 8 years, we have changed our protocol for children older than 12 years of age and have replaced DBCA with total hip replacement. In a number of cases, total hip replacement was performed after a previous intervention involving arthroplasty with DBCA.
Objective. To determine the technical peculiarities of total hip replacement after a previous intervention involving arthroplasty with DBCA.
Material and methods. We analyzed the results of treatment involving various types of hip pathology in 13 children (100%) aged between 15 and 16 years [8 girls (61.5%) and 5 boys (38.5%)]. The medical histories of all 13 children (100%) showed repeated operations on the hip joint, ultimately resulting in arthroplasty with DBCA. All 13 children (100%) underwent a total hip replacement. Upon hip replacement, all 13 patients (100%) showed a pronounced thinning and hardening of the edges and the bottom of the acetabulum, which created some difficulties in the process of acetabular component implantation. The transformation of DBCA was not evident in any of the 13 cases (100%).
Results. During the observation period of 3–5 years following total hip arthroplasty, all 13 cases (100%) showed recovery in the range of motion and absence of pain. An important criterion for evaluating the quality of care was the complete social and domestic adaptation of all 13 children (100%) during the period from 6 to 9 months following total hip replacement surgery.
Conclusions. The main feature of the implementation of total hip replacement, following a previous intervention involving arthroplasty with DBCA, was a pronounced deficit of the pelvic bone in the joint component. This significantly complicated the subsequent implantation of the acetabular prosthesis component, and in some cases required the use of a cemented acetabular component. Our experience suggests that patients under 11 years of age who show clinical and radiological signs of coxarthrosis can be treated with arthroplasty with DBCA in order to save the lost function of the hip joint and maintain the function of the periarticular muscles.
Some Conventional and Convenient Process for Functionalization of 6-Phenyl-4,5-Dihydropyridazinone Compounds
Authors: Asif Mohammad 
Published: June 2017

The pyridazinone derivatives, particularly those bearing substituted different group or atom at a different position, have attracted considerable attention due to their characteristic pharmacological and other anticipated activities. These activities promoted the synthesis of a large number of substituted pyridazinone derivatives in order to explore the usefulness of this heterocyclic system. In the present review, various synthetic methods have been studied for the synthesis of substituted pyridazinone derivatives. The behaviour of the pyridazinone toward formaldehyde/piperidine, ethyl chloroacetate, chloroacetic acid, benzene sulfonyl chloride, bromine/acetic acid and aromatic aldehydes has also been studied. However, the reactions of the chloro derivative resulting from the reaction of pyridazinone with phosphorus oxychloride (POCl<sub>3</sub>). The behavior of chloropyridazine toward hydrazines, thiourea, sodium azide, anthranilic acid, aromatic amines and sulfa compounds have also been taken into consideration. Thethiopyridazinone derivativeswere prepared from the reaction of pyridazinone with phosphorus pentasulphide (P<sub>2</sub>S<sub>5</sub>). All the structures of were established on the based of spectroscopic data.<p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p>
Are Blood Lactate Levels Better Than a Crystal Ball – the Veterinary Evidence Base
Authors: Boag Amanda 
Published: June 2017

<p>Blood lactate levels are a simple and inexpensive parameter that is increasingly available to practitioners in both emergency medicine and general practice. But what does it really tell us? The earliest studies in people dating from the 1970s were the first to advocate lactate as a prognostic indicator with one of the landmark studies showing that as admission lactate concentration increased from 2.1 to 8.0 mmol/L survival decreased from 90% to 10%. When treating emergency patients with distressed owners, there is something very attractive about the idea of measuring a simple parameter on admission that could give us a better sense of prognosis than our clinical opinion alone... But does the data support that? In this session we will briefly review lactate physiology and then focus on the small animal veterinary evidence base – how has it evolved, what do we now know and where are the gaps in knowledge and potential misinterpretations that could affect our use of this clinical tool.</p><p> </p><img src="https://www.veterinaryevidence.org/rcvskmod/icons/oa-icon.jpg" alt="Open Access" />
