DA LI JE KREACIONISTIČKO UČENJE O NASTANKU SVETA OZBILJNA ALTERNATIVA TEORIJI EVOLUCIJE? RAZMATRANJE IZ FILOZOFIJE NAUKE
Authors: KÖTTER RUDOLF 
Published: June 2016

Izrazom ,kreacionizam‘ se označava jedna hrišćansko-fundamentalistička struja kojaje nastala pre otprilike osamdeset godina u SAD-u i koja do današnjih dana pronalazi sve višepristalica. Konsekventno sprovodeći svoje shvatanje o vernosti Bibliji ti krugovi žele da doslovnoshvate biblijski izveštaj o nastanku svetu i pokušavaju ga etablirati kao serioznu alternativuprirodno-naučnoj teoriji evolucije i kosmologiji. S jedne strane, oni pokušavaju da ospore naučnostteorije evolucije (sa njom i kosmologije i istorijske geologije), tako što njihove otvorene problemei nerešena pitanja prikazuju kao temeljne teoretske deficite; s druge strane, oni biblijski izveštaj ostvaranju sveta žele potkrepiti naučnim dokazima i argumentima. Na taj način teorija evolucije trebabiti devalvirana u „učenje o evoluciji“, a mit o stvaranju sveta prevrednovan u „učenje o stvaranjusveta“. U očima kreacionista onda intelektualno poštenje nalaže da se u toku nastave biologijepored „učenja o evoluciji“ u istom obimu prikazuje i hrišćansko učenje o stvaranju sveta. U člankuautor pokazuje da kreacionisti u svojoj kritici teorije evolucije polaze od krajnje pojednostavljene slike prirodno-naučne teorije koja ne uvažava prave odnose u fizici, hemiji ili biologiji i u kojoj seposebno briše razlika između obrazloženja jednog prirodno-naučnog zakona i njegove primene. Zarazliku od teorije evolucije kreacionističko učenje o stvaranju sveta ne poseduje nikakav istraživačkiprogram, pošto je izveštaj o stvaranju sveta prikaz istorijskog toka događaja koji njegove pristaliceuopšte ne mogu podvrći naučnoj kritici, jer bi to značilo bogohuljenje. Neprihvatanje principaaktualnosti u suštini implicira neprihvatanje svakog naučnog istraživačkog programa u svrhurazjašnjenja prirodno-istorijskih sklopova. Dakle, govor o „Creation Science“ je običan retoričkitrik.<br />

Performance of Combination of Texture and Object Based Techniques in Image Classification for Urban Land Cover
Authors: Jennifer J. Jacinth 
Published: June 2016

<div><p class="IJARCSAbstract"><em>Satellite imagery paves way to obtain tangible information through remote sensing techniques. It is necessary to classify the image in order to extract the features. There exist various classification techniques and algorithms to retrieve various features from imagery. As the technology development proceeds in a faster track it is necessary to compensate its advancements by developing new techniques for feature retrieval. As far as high resolution satellite imagery are concerned object based feature retrieval and texture based feature retrieval techniques are gaining its importance. The texture based feature retrieval has various techniques involved in it, among which Haralick’s texture parameters has much importance. Thereby object based technique also has its own way of algorithms and processes for feature retrieval. The eCognition software provides a platform for combining texture and object based technique. It is well known from various journals that object based technique is best for classifying high resolution imagery. Thus the image is primarily segmented into objects for classification. The Haralick’s texture parameters which serve well in classification of urban land cover is chosen by computing statistical analysis. Finally the chosen texture parameter is adopted in the classification of the objects. The classified imagery is checked for accuracy and a high accuracy of 94.5% is obtained.</em></p></div>

Published: June 2016

Background:
The use of tranexamic acid (TXA) in primary total hip arthroplasty is well documented. However, considering the potential side effects, including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, the ideal method of providing TXA to patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty remains controversial. The objective of this trial was to assess the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) administration combined with topical administration of TXA regarding postoperative blood loss and transfusion rates in patients treated with primary unilateral total hip arthroplasty.

Methods:
In this prospective, randomized controlled trial, 150 patients were divided into three groups: the combined group (IV administration of 15 mg/kg of TXA combined with topical administration of 1 g/100 mL of TXA), the single IV group (IV administration of 15 mg/kg of TXA), and the placebo group. The primary outcomes included blood-loss variables (total, intraoperative, and drainage blood loss; changes in hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelet concentration; and amount of IV transfusion fluid) and transfusion values (frequency of transfusion and number of transfused blood units). The secondary outcomes included the length of the hospital stay, range of hip motion, Harris hip score, and prevalences of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

Results:
The total blood loss in the combined group (mean and standard deviation, 835.49 ± 343.50 mL) was significantly reduced (p < 0.05) in comparison with that in the single IV group (1002.62 ± 366.85 mL) and placebo group (1221.11 ± 386.25 mL). The combined group also had fewer transfusions in comparison with the single IV and placebo groups (1, 8, and 19, respectively; p < 0.05). There was no difference among the 3 groups with regard to the rates of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.

Conclusions:
Intravenous combined with topical administration of TXA in patients undergoing a primary unilateral total hip arthroplasty significantly reduced postoperative bleeding and the transfusion rate. Studies with more patients and longer follow-up are needed to confirm whether this promising combined strategy is safe with regard to thromboembolic complications.

Current Controversies in Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
Authors: Churchill Jessica L. , Garrigues Grant E. 
Published: June 2016

➢ Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty can restore forward elevation in pseudoparalytic shoulders, can reduce pain, and can increase quality of life for patients; however, there are a number of issues with regard to the design and ideal implantation technique of reverse total shoulder arthroplasties that remain controversial.➢ Glenospheres with a Grammont, medialized center of rotation and designs with a more lateralized center of rotation have specific pros and cons. Medialized designs have historically decreased glenosphere loosening but increase scapular notching, and lateralized designs decrease notching and improve range of motion but historically have resulted in increased baseplate failure. As such, a concrete conclusion with regard to medialization or lateralization of the glenosphere cannot be made at this time.➢ Caudal, inferior placement of the glenosphere increases internal rotation, external rotation, abduction, and adduction while reducing notching. Superior baseplate positioning and tilt are correlated with baseplate failure and therefore should be avoided. It remains unclear whether neutral or slightly inferior tilt is preferred.➢ The ideal humerosocket inclination angle remains unclear. The 135° designs appear to have a lower rate of scapular notching than the Grammont-style 155° humerosockets. The implications of this angle for instability remain unclear as, to our knowledge, there have been no randomized comparisons and the largest meta-analysis was confounded by other implant variables.
Characterizing Soybean Yield and Quality Response to Multiple Prophylactic Inputs and Synergies

Published: June 2016

There is little peer‐reviewed information regarding prophylactic use of multiple inputs in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] production systems as a way to increase seed yield and profitability. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine the effect of multiple inputs on soybean yield and quality in Wisconsin (WI). Two separate studies were established from 2011 to 2013. The inputs examined included: trait [first (RR1) and second (RR2Y) generation Roundup Ready traits], rhizobia inoculant, fungicide seed treatment, foliar fertilizer, foliar insecticide, and foliar fungicide. In the first experiment, main effects and up to three‐way interactions were evaluated; whereas in the second experiment, all inputs were combined in a high‐management (i.e., intensive) treatment. In the first experiment, soybean yield was not consistently increased due to the used inputs. Trait and foliar fungicide use were significant factors with variable effect on soybean seed yield in three and four of the nine location‐years, respectively. The foliar insecticide effect varied between traits in three location‐years. The (rhizobia inoculant + fungicide seed treatment) × foliar insecticide × foliar fungicide interaction was a significant factor in three of the nine location‐years. None of the examined factors significantly increased yield across all location–years. In the second experiment, high‐management, trait, and their interaction did not consistently increase soybean yield, nor improved seed quality characteristics. Overall, these results suggest that WI growers should continue to use university‐developed integrated pest management principles for making input decisions instead of relying on prophylactic input applications for maximizing soybean yield and profitability.

No sole input or interaction consistently increased soybean yield across site‐years.
Intensive management had inconsistent and minimal effect on soybean yield.
Growers should not rely on prophylactic input applications to maximize soybean yield.
Soil Temperature Variability in Complex Terrain Measured Using Fiber‐Optic Distributed Temperature Sensing
Authors: Seyfried Mark , Link Timothy , Marks Danny , Murdock Mark 
Published: June 2016

Core Ideas
Soil temperature variability within land surface units is low, with a SD of <1.5°C.
Land surface effects are greater than a 911‐m elevation change.
Fiber‐optic DTS provides a unique look at soil temperature variability.
Soil temperature (Ts) exerts critical controls on hydrologic and biogeochemical processes, but the magnitude and nature of Ts variability in a landscape setting are rarely documented. Fiber‐optic distributed temperature sensing (DTS) systems potentially measure Ts at high density across a large extent. A fiber‐optic cable 771 m long was installed at a depth of 10 cm in contrasting landscape units (LUs) defined by vegetative cover at Upper Sheep Creek in the Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed (RCEW) and Critical Zone Observatory in Idaho. The purpose was to evaluate the applicability of DTS in remote settings and to characterize Ts variability in complex terrain. Measurement accuracy was similar to other field instruments (±0.4°C), and Ts changes of approximately 0.05°C at a monitoring spatial scale of 1 m were resolved with occasional calibration and an ambient temperature range of 50°C. Differences in solar inputs among LUs were strongly modified by surface conditions. During spatially continuous snow cover, Ts was practically homogeneous across LUs. In the absence of snow cover, daily average Ts was highly variable among LUs due to variations in vegetative cover, with a standard deviation (SD) greater than 5°C, and relatively uniform (SD < 1.5°C) within LUs. Mean annual soil temperature differences among LUs of 5.2°C was greater than those of 4.4°C associated with a 910‐m elevation difference within the RCEW. In this environment, effective Ts simulation requires representation of relatively small‐scale (<20 m) LUs due to the deterministic spatial variability of Ts.
Spatial and Temporal Variability of Soil Water Content in Two Regions of Southwest Germany during a Three‐Year Observation Period
Authors: Poltoradnev Maxim , Ingwersen Joachim , Streck Thilo 
Published: June 2016

Core Ideas
A set of all possible states of spatial soil water content variability in relation to the mean spatial soil water content is a contingent phase space.
The left and the right outermost points of the phase space and its lower bound are determined by the variability of soil physical properties.
Generation or dissipation of soil water content variability depends on its momentary location in relation to these points and the phase space bounds.
Soil water content temporal dynamics can be divided onto sequential wetting‐drying periods.
At the event‐scale spatial soil water content variability moves along the hysteretic loop, triggered by rainstorms with spatially highly variable intensities.
The topsoil water content (SWC) plays a key role in partitioning energy and water fluxes at the land surface. Knowledge about its spatial and temporal variability is crucial for improving climate and hydrology modeling. We investigated SWC variability, its relation to the mean spatial soil water content (〈θ〉), and the variability of rainfall on the regional spatial and event temporal scales. We used a 3‐yr data set, obtained at 15‐min resolution from two soil moisture sensor networks (spatial extent: 25 by 25 km), set up at croplands in the Kraichgau and Swabian Alb regions in southwest Germany. The relationship of SWC standard deviation (σθ) versus 〈θ〉 was studied (σθ–〈θ〉). The closer σθ is located to the edge of the envelope, the σθ at the permanent wilting point (σθ–〈θwp〉), and the σθ at saturation (σθ–〈θs〉)—the anchor points—the easier it is to apprehend whether σθ will increase or decrease on a change in 〈θ〉. The σθ–〈θ〉 relationship forms combinations of concave and convex hyperbolas reflecting the variability of soil texture and depending on σθ in relation to the anchor points. Most σθ–〈θ〉 clockwise hysteresis cases occurred in an intermediate and intermediate‐wet state of SWC. The initiation of a clockwise hysteretic loop is initiated by preferential flow. The σθ phase space can be used to test whether hydrological or land surface models capture a realistic range of soil water heterogeneity.

Published: June 2016

The development of communication technology and Internet-based information encourage the emergence of new changes in the marketing world. Customer-oriented makes it an effective medium for the activities of Word-of-Mouth (WOM). In this information era, Word-of-Mouth becomes credible resource in the community. To harness the power of electronic Word-of-Mouth (e-WOM), the company must first identify and understand effectively users of the web to spread their opinions. By using 60 respondents as a source of information and data collection, results of the study found various types of Foursquare users and various motivations that drive them. The first finding of this study revealed six types of Foursquare users, namely: The Gamers, The Existence, The Need Help, The Mayor, The Showoff, and the Angels. The second finding was the type of motivation that Foursquare users are distinguished by category Feature Involvement, Self Satisfaction, Seeking Advice, Economic Incentives, Self Enhancement, and Concern for Other Users. From this study, Self Satisfaction, Self Enhancement, and Concern for Other Users are the motivation type of Foursquare users that give positive contribution to the activities of e-WOM because the three types directly do some sort recommendations or promotions of the places they check-in. Furthermore, Feature Involvement, Seeking Advice, and Economic Incentives are the types that less provide positive contribution to the activities of e-WOM. Advice Seeking and Economic Incentives are the types that the most feel benefits of e-WOM activities through Foursquare. Feature Involvement is the type that does not contribute the most to the activities of e-WOM and do not feel the most benefits of e-WOM activities through Foursquare. This research is expected to help companies that use Foursquare to establish the right business strategy in encouraging e-WOM among Foursquare users.
Peran Strategic Entrepreneurship dalam Membangun Sustainable Competitive Advantage
Authors: Handrimurtjahjo Agustinus Dedy 
Published: June 2016

Strategic entrepreneurship has emerged as a new concept in examining convergence in entrepreneurship studies (opportunity-seeking behavior) and strategic management (advantage-seeking behavior). Studies in the area of strategic management have gradually exposed the relationship betweenstrategic management and entrepreneurship: entrepreneurial strategy making; intrapreneurship; entrepreneurial strategic posture within organizations; entrepreneurial orientation; strategic managementintegration as a context for entrepreneurial actions; and entrepreneurship theory with strategic management and the resource-based view (RBV). A conceptual model of SE that has been developed by Ireland et al.suggested that a firm which linearly and sequentially: employs an entrepreneurial mindset to identify opportunities; manages resources strategically to tackle the opportunity; applies creativity and innovation; andgenerates a competitive advantage is strategic and entrepreneurship operation. Managers must maximize the pursuit of new business opportunities while simultaneously maximize the generation and application of temporary competitive advantages to sustainably create organizational value. This paper develops a conceptual framework that demonstrate the role of strategic entrepreneurship in building sustainable competitiveadvantage.

Published: June 2016

Os padrões temporais de mudanças das paisagens somente serão revelados através da descrição dos processos que influenciam sua a dinâmica. Diante da necessidade de determinar estes processos, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo realizar a caracterização ambiental do município brasileiro de Americana-SP, bem como, analisar a dinâmica de uso e cobertura da terra em 1984, 1991, 1997, 2008 e 2014. O enfoque do procedimento metodológico foi a caracterização ambiental do município e a utilização da dinâmica de usos na avaliação da paisagem por meio de imagens LandSat, referentes à área de estudo. O uso com maior destaque ao longo dos anos foi o urbano, com aumento de 16,88% em todo o período estudado. Em contrapartida, tal crescimento tem gerado impactos sobre os ecossistemas naturais, com perda de áreas e diminuição de sua conectividade. O planejamento do município deve ser sistemático para que sejam ideais sustentavelmente e cumpram seus objetivos.
