The goalkeeper influence on ball possession effectiveness in futsal
Authors: Vicente-Vila Pedro , Lago-Peñas Carlos 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify which variables were the best predictors of success in futsal ball possession when controlling for space and task related indicators, situational variables and the participation of the goalkeeper as a regular field player or not (5 vs. 4 or 4 vs. 4). The sample consisted of 326 situations of ball possession corresponding to 31 matches played by a team from the Spanish Futsal League during the 2010–2011, 2011–2012 and 2012–2013 seasons. Multidimensional qualitative data obtained from 10 ordered categorical variables were used. Data were analysed using chi-square analysis and multiple logistic regression analysis. Overall, the highest ball possession effectiveness was achieved when the goalkeeper participated as a regular field player (p<0.01), the duration of the ball possession was less than 10 s (p<0.01), the ball possession ended in the penalty area (p<0.01) and the defensive pressure was low (p<0.01). The information obtained on the relative effectiveness of offensive playing tactics can be used to improve team’s goal-scoring and goal preventing abilities.

Published: July 2016

Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between pre-competition mood state factors in gymnastics by gender, age and a national ranking. Participant-gymnasts (total n=116, male n=49, female n=67) completed a Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS) one day prior to their main competition of the year. Information was also gathered from gymnasts of gender, age and a national ranking. Consistent with theoretical predictions, results confirmed that a number of pre-competition mood states differed by age with both juniors and seniors having a higher level of anger than children (p<.05 respectively). Also, seniors demonstrated higher tension than children (p<.001). However, only anger showed significant differences by gender with male gymnasts demonstrating higher levels of anger than female gymnasts (p<.05), and with international gymnasts registering higher levels of anger compared with second class gymnasts (p<.05). Authors suggest that future research should investigate relationships between the pre-competition mood in other gymnastics-related disciplines and sports, as well as competitive performances.
Quality Retention Enhancement in Canned Potato and Radish Using Reciprocating Agitation Thermal Processing

Published: July 2016

Abstract
This study focusses on evaluating the effects of reciprocating agitation thermal processing (RA-TP) on the quality of canned potato cubes and whole radish packed in brine solution (1 % NaCl+1 % CaCl2 solution). Experimental cans were subjected to RA-TP in a lab-scale steam retort at different temperatures (110–130 °C) and reciprocation frequencies (0–3 Hz). Color, texture, antioxidant activity and solids leached into the liquid were evaluated to characterize the quality of processed product. RA-TP resulted in superior quality retention in processed vegetables as compared to static retort (0 Hz) due to the associated shorter (up to 70 %) process times. In general, higher operating temperatures and reciprocation frequencies resulted in better retention of color and antioxidant activity. However, RA-TP also increased texture damage and nutrients/solids leaching, but these negative effects were milder at higher process temperatures. Therefore, high-temperature and high agitation frequency RA-TP concept with shorter process time could be effectively used for better quality retention. The optimal product quality was obtained at 130 °C retort temperature and 3.0 Hz reciprocation frequency for whole radish and at 130 °C retort temperature and 1.5 Hz reciprocation frequency for potato cubes.
Gain Saturation Analysis of Raman–Fiber Optical Parametric Hybrid Amplifier
Authors: Kaur G. P. , Kaur G. , Sharma S. 
Published: July 2016

AbstractWe demonstrate higher saturation powers for Raman and fiber optical parametric-cascaded amplifier (FOPA). Analysis of Raman-parametric amplifier cascade has been done for saturated gain regime. The second-order dispersion analysis of cascaded amplifier has been in the saturation region. Comparisons have been made with conventional parametric amplifiers in both single pump and dual pump. Results show 14 dB gain enhancement in saturation power for proposed cascade. Uniform gain for careful optimized values of dispersion has been observed in saturated region with minimum gain value enhanced by 10 dB than dual-pump parametric amplifier. This is important for exploring Raman–FOPA hybrid amplifiers for high-power, long-haul wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) systems.
An Analytical Approach for Performance Enhancement of FSO Communication System Using Array of Receivers in Adverse Weather Conditions
Authors: Nagpal Shaina , Gupta Amit 
Published: July 2016

AbstractFree Space Optics (FSO) link exploits the tremendous network capacity and is capable of offering wireless communications similar to communications through optical fibres. However, FSO link is extremely weather dependent and the major effect on FSO links is due to adverse weather conditions like fog and snow. In this paper, an FSO link is designed using an array of receivers. The disparity of the link for very high attenuation conditions due to fog and snow is analysed using aperture averaging technique. Further effect of aperture averaging technique is investigated by comparing the systems using aperture averaging technique with systems not using aperture averaging technique. The performance of proposed model of FSO link has been evaluated in terms of Q factor, bit error rate (BER) and eye diagram.

Abstract
We explain why general techniques from formal linguistics can and should be applied to the analysis of monkey communication – in the areas of syntax and especially semantics. An informed look at our recent proposals shows that such techniques needn’t rely excessively on categories of human language: syntax and semantics provide versatile formal tools that go beyond the specificities of human linguistics. We argue that “formal monkey linguistics” can yield new insights into monkey morphology, syntax, and semantics, as well as raise provocative new questions about the existence of a pragmatic, competition-based component in these communication systems. Finally, we argue that evolutionary questions, which are highly speculative in human language, can be addressed in an empirically satisfying fashion in primate linguistics, and we lay out problems that should be addressed at the interface between evolutionary primate linguistics and formal analyses of language evolution.

S bár Herrmann mint az Ethnologische Mitteilungen aus Ungarn egykori szerkesztője, a néprajzi gyűjtésének nagyobb részét szakfolyóiratokban már publikálta, hagyatéka számos ismeretlen és felbecsülhetetlen értékű dokumentumot őriz, mint például azt a levelezést, amelyet a híres szegedi néprajztudóssal, Kálmány Lajossal folytatott, s amelyet Péter László Kálmány-életrajza sem használt fel. De talán ennél is becsesebb – mert nemzetközi érdeklődésre is számot tarthat – az az iratcsomó, amellyel az alábbiakban részletesen foglalkozunk.

Abstract
Gene duplication and loss are major sources of genetic polymorphism in populations, and are important forces shaping the evolution of genome content and organization. We have reconstructed the origin and history of a 127-kbp segmental duplication, R2d, in the house mouse (Mus musculus). R2d contains a single protein-coding gene, Cwc22. De novo assembly of both the ancestral (R2d1) and the derived (R2d2) copies reveals that they have been subject to nonallelic gene conversion events spanning tens of kilobases. R2d2 is also a hotspot for structural variation: its diploid copy number ranges from zero in the mouse reference genome to &gt;80 in wild mice sampled from around the globe. Hemizygosity for high copy-number alleles of R2d2 is associated in cis with meiotic drive; suppression of meiotic crossovers; and copy-number instability, with a mutation rate in excess of 1 per 100 transmissions in some laboratory populations. Our results provide a striking example of allelic diversity generated by duplication and demonstrate the value of de novo assembly in a phylogenetic context for understanding the mutational processes affecting duplicate genes.

Published: July 2016

ABSTRACTThis work shows the development of several models for chain-growth polymerizations that admit the direct calculation of the complete molecular weight distribution of the polymer. The direct and complete calculation implies that no statistical mean values are employed as in the moments method neither numerical approximations like in the minimum-squared based methods. The free radical polymerization of ethylene (LDPE) and the coordination via metallocenes polymerization of ethylene (HDPE) are taken as examples for analysis.In the free radical polymerization case, the conventional scheme for chain-growth polymerization is adopted, with steps for initiation, propagation, chain transfer to small species and the additional step of chain transfer to dead chains [1]. The kinetic parameter are obtained from the open literature. Two kind of reactors were modelled: batch and continuous stirred tank reactor. For this last case, a simulation strategy was considered in which the run started from an initial known population of dead chains. Results show that typical non-linear polymerization profiles for the molecular weight distribution are obtained. For the coordination polymerization of ethylene via metalocenes, the standard coordination model was employed [2]. A two-site catalyst was considered and kinetic parameters reported in the open literature were used. For this study an experimental program in a lab-scale reactor was undertaken in order to obtain modelling data [3]. Results show that the standard model adequately reproduces the experimental data in the kinetic and molecular attributes of the polymer.

Some virulence factors are targets to create fundamentally new anti-TB drugs.
Teach or Perish: The Stavka System and its Impact on the Quality of Instruction
Authors: Steiner-Khamsi Gita 
Published: July 2016

The post-Soviet teacher salary system is referred to as a “teaching load” (stavka) system, because the number of teaching hours accounts for the wide range of teachers’ income. This article discusses the challenges of the stavka system, presents a few changes and modifications over time, and provides examples of salary reforms of two countries: the 2007 teacher salary reform in Mongolia and the 2011 reform in K yrgyzstan. The UNICEF Kyrgyzstan study identifies six negative consequences of the high correlation between the salary and the number of hours taught: vulnerability of teachers, micromanagement of teachers, overcrowding of schools, vacancies as placeholders or “strategic vacancies”, excessive teaching loads, the redistribution of teaching hours to non-specialists. The Government of Mongolia successfully replaced the teaching load system with a workload system in 2007. In Kyrgyzstan, the re-stratification process led to a revolt of those who lost in the wake of the reform. Within a period of two years only, they ensured that the stavka-system was, with a few exceptions, put back in place.

Published: July 2016

This study estimated the sexual maturity of Dilocarcinus pagei Stimpson, 1861 based on relative growth and gonadal development. In addition, a possible sexual dimorphism was reported. The specimens were monthly captured from October 2005 to September 2007 in the Marimbondo/Furnas Hydroelectric Plant Reservoir, municipality of Icem in northwestern São Paulo State. Handedness was recorded for males, with the right cheliped propodus invariably longer and wider than the left. The estimated carapace width for morphological sexual maturity in males was 28.7 mm, based on the biometric relationship of the cheliped propodus length vs. carapace width; for females, this value was 24.2 mm, using the relationship of the abdominal width vs. carapace width. The size at gonadal maturity was estimated at 39.2 mm and 39.9 mm, for males and females respectively (CW50). There was not sexual dimorphism in relation to carapace width. For a crab to be able to procreate, it must reach morphological maturity and have developed gonads. Thus a minimum capture size based on the size, at which 50% of the population is considered reproductive, can ensure the continued preservation of this species.

Published: July 2016

O objetivo do trabalho foi a avaliação da diferença entre o tratamento com o probiótico 1 (P1) e o tratamento com o probiótico 2 (P2) no cultivo larval de Litopenaeus vannamei, com duração de 18 dias. O tratamento com o P1 consistiu na adição do probiótico comercial Epicin G2 (Epicore Networks Eastampton, Estados Unidos) contendo Bacillus subtilis, B. licheniformis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, B. pumilus e Saccharomyces cerevisiae. No tratamento com o P2 foi utilizado o probiótico comercial ProBacyl (Bern&Roc Aquacultura Ltda, Ceará-Mirim, Brasil) com uma mistura de B. subtilis, B. licheniformis, Pediococcus acidilactici e bactérias probióticas (total). As unidades experimentais consistiram em seis tanques de 15.000 L, e cada tratamento contou com três repetições. Os probióticos foram aplicados diariamente na água, avaliando-se o potencial zootécnico e a resistência a estresse iônico de larvas e pós-larvas (PL). Os parí­¢metros salinidade, temperatura, pH e oxigênio dissolvido foram controlados. As pós-larvas submetidas ao P2 apresentaram valores médios maiores (p < 0,05) para comprimento (PL 1 e PL 5), pesos úmido e seco (PL 5) e percentual de metamorfose (90%) em relação í­Â s pós-larvas do outro tratamento, e os valores das demais variáveis não diferiram. A sobrevivência final foi de 56,4% e 64,9% para pós-larvas submetidas ao P1 e ao P2, respectivamente. Dessa forma, o probiótico 2 apresentou melhores resultados que o P1 para o cultivo de L. vannamei em sistema de larvicultura comercial em algumas fases de desenvolvimento.

Estudos sobre as comunidades são essenciais para uma interpretação adequada dos eventos perturbadores, sejam eles antrópicos ou não. Na pesca camaroneira, muitos crustáceos sem valor econômico são capturados. Tal fato é atribuí­­do ao uso de um apetrecho de pesca não seletivo (rede double-rig), tornando a pesca uma atividade desestabilizadora das comunidades bentônicas. Este estudo apresenta um panorama sobre as espécies de crustáceos decápodes capturados na pesca de Xiphopenaeus kroyeri (camarão-sete-barbas). As coletas foram realizadas no perí­­odo de novembro/1988 a outubro/1989 na Enseada da Fortaleza, litoral norte paulista. Foram coletados 20.377 indiví­­duos pertencentes a 44 espécies, das quais a mais abundante foi X. kroyeri com 13.206 indiví­­duos. Os maiores valores de í­­ndice de diversidade (Shannon-Wiener) foram observados nos pontos amostrais II e V, que correspondem a áreas de exclusão natural de pesca. Este estudo aponta que, em locais onde a atividade pesqueira é mais intensa, a biodiversidade pode ser afetada.
Más allá del Liberalismo: el Enfoque de las Capacidades y la Justicia Social Crítica
Authors: Pereira Gustavo 
Published: July 2016

ResumenEl enfoque de las capacidades ha estado principalmente asociado al liberalismo, ya que sus figuras fundacionales, Sen y Nussbaum, se han explícitamente asumido como parte de esa corriente de pensamiento. Sin embargo, puede afirmarse que algunas de las características de dicho enfoque podrían encontrar su mejor formulación, proyección y desarrollo fuera del liberalismo. La justicia social crítica a partir de sus conceptos constitutivos de reconocimiento, intersubjetividad y alta sensibilidad a la vulnerabilidad se presenta como un espacio normativo más apropiado para el desarrollo y la proyección del enfoque de las capacidades. Esta tesis es ilustrada a través de dos importantes discusiones normativas, la primera de ellas es la que tiene por tema a la métrica de justicia y la segunda es la que hace a la forma de entender la democracia, la ciudadanía y la razón pública. A partir de la interpretación de estos conceptos es que se justifica que la justicia social crítica es un mejor marco normativo para el enfoque de las capacidades que el liberalismo. AbstractThe capabilities approach has been primarily associated with liberalism, since its founding figures, Sen and Nussbaum, have expressly assumed themselves as part of that school of thought. However, it can be argued that some of the characteristics of such approach could find their best formulation, projection and development outside liberalism. Critical social justice, from its constituent concepts of recognition, intersubjectivity and high sensitivity to vulnerability, seems to be a more appropriate normative space for the development and projection of the capabilities approach. This thesis is illustrated through two important normative discussions, the first of which is the one that has the metric of justice as its subject, and the second is the one related to the way democracy, citizenship and public reason are understood. From the interpretation of these concepts, it can be justified that critical social justice is a better normative framework for the capability approach than liberalism is.
Laryngeal structure and function in dogs with cough
Authors: Johnson Lynelle R. 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence and type of laryngeal abnormalities in dogs examined because of cough that did not have signs of upper airway disease and to compare the prevalence of those abnormalities among dogs with various respiratory tract diseases.
DESIGN Prospective study.
ANIMALS 138 dogs with cough that did not have signs of upper airway disease.
PROCEDURES The study was conducted between July 2001 and October 2014 and included dogs examined for cough that had laryngoscopic and bronchoscopic examinations performed by 1 examiner. Laryngeal hyperemia and swelling were recorded, and laryngeal function was assessed before and after doxapram stimulation when indicated. Results were compared among dogs on the basis of cough duration (acute [< 2 weeks], subacute [2 weeks to 2 months], and chronic [> 2 months]) and disease diagnosed (inflammatory airway disease, airway collapse, lower respiratory tract infection, and eosinophilic bronchopneumopathy).
RESULTS Laryngeal hyperemia was detected in 73 of 134 (54%) dogs with cough of subacute or chronic duration, and its prevalence did not vary significantly among dogs with various diseases. Thirteen dogs had laryngeal paresis, and 13 dogs had laryngeal paralysis; dysphonia (n = 2) and stridor (1) were uncommon findings in those dogs. The prevalence of laryngeal dysfunction (paresis or paralysis) did not differ significantly among diseases.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results indicated that 26 of 138 (19%) dogs examined because of cough alone had laryngeal dysfunction, which suggested that a complete laryngoscopic examination should be included in the diagnostic evaluation of dogs with cough.

L’émergence d’une économie de la connaissance amène les managers à être confrontés à des situations de gestion que l’on qualifie d’extrêmes parce qu’elles se déploient dans un contexte évolutif, incertain et risqué. L’auteur explore dans cet article différentes pistes pour dégager des règles de gestion propres à cette classe de situations, à partir de terrains comme les expéditions polaires. Les résultats mettent en évidence trois registres d’intelligibilité : la construction du sens, les capacités d’ambidextrie organisationnelle et les dispositifs d’expansion des connaissances.
