Abstract. Hasani R, Mehregan I, Larijani K, Nejadsattari T, Scalone R.2017. Survey of the impacts of soil and climatic variations on the production of essential oils in Heracleum persicum Biodiversitas 18: 365-377.Essential oils have been extracted from different parts of the Heracleum persicum plants (Apiaceae) since many years. However, the effect of the climate and the soil composition on their quality and quantity of the essential oils have never been investigated in this species. For this aim, ten populations of Persian hogweed were selected regarding their different localities in Iran and their essential oils were extracted from dry fruits by hydrodistilation clevenger type, GC-FID and GC-MS analyses. During the sampling of the Heracleum populations, certain climatic and edaphic parameters were also recorded. Within these ten populations, 18 to 43 different oil compounds were identified expanding the diversity of chemical compounds found in Iranian populations. Certain rare molecules as per example the isopropyl-2-methyl butyrate, the isopropyl-3-methyl butyrate, the Î³-terpinene or the p-cymene should be considered to categorize the different populations between them within the species. Certain environmental factors (e.g., EC, Cl, P) are related with the production of certain essential oils within the studied populations and are providing crucial information for the production of these oils by this aromatic herb. To conclude, the study of the environment of the populations can help to improve the utility of this aromatic plant, although certain preliminary results have still to be confirmed by controlled-environment experiments.

Abstract. Muliadi M, Lahjie AM, Simarangkir B.D.A.S., Ruslim Y. 2017. Bioeconomic and enviromental valuation of dipterocarp estate forest based on local wisdom in Kutai Kartanegara, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 18: 401-408. Research was conducted in the dipterocarp estate forest in Kutai Kartanegara District, East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia and aimed (i) to find out the potentials of logs; (ii) to find out the correlation among variables based on bioeconomic and environmental analysis; (iii) to analyze the value of bioeconomic and environmental equilibrium; (iv) to find out the price of logs based on local wisdom. Findings showed that bioeconomic analysis based on local wisdom in dipterocarp plantation forest at different estating distance had different potential and increment, while the same maximum increment was found at 40 years and their equilibrium was found at 30 years. Other local wisdom also showed there was a strong relationship between bioeconomic and environmental variables. Diameter influenced the price of logs and local wisdom suggested higher than the market prices at the diameter of 35 cm at $ 230.50 USD, while the price of log in the market was actually $145 USD. Thus the unpaid environmental services amounted to $ 85.5 USD m-3. Therefore the government should change the amount of the current levy. If there is no change, the government will not be able to finance the restoration of estate forest and natural forest and have further impacts on climate change.

Abstract. Bellatreche A, Mahdad MY, Kaouadji Z, Gaouar SBS. 2017. Agro-morphological diversity of some accessions of breadwheat (Triticum aestivum) in western Algeria. Biodiversitas 18: 409-415. The diversity of wheat in Algeria is well known. An inventory has been conducted in the west of Algeria (North and South) to collect local accessions of bread wheat Triticuma aestivum for their morphological characterization. In this context, a collection of 23 traditional and new accessions of bread wheat was investigated using nine quantitative agro-morphological traits. The phenotypic diversity was determined by the Shannon-Weaver diversity index (H') at different levels (sample Totality which is by type of wheat and varietal name). The H' showed a wide phenotypic variability for different traits with Hâ€™ average of 0.59. The results of the multiple correspondence analysis and hierarchical clustering showed a clear distinction between different accessions. The results of this work have revealed the great phenotypic diversity of wheat accessions. These accessions were partially matched the names of varieties because of the existence of homonyms and synonyms in the names given by farmers. The results showed that these local accessions (that genetic composition should be studied more precisely) are mainly cultivated by traditional farmers who conserve this genetic resource, often on very small plots in the oases or in an inaccessible terrains.

Abstract. Mursyidin DH, Nazari YA, Daryono BS.2017. Tidal swamp rice cultivars of South Kalimantan Province, Indonesia: A case study of diversity and local culture.Biodiversitas 18: 427-432.Traditional rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars may become an indispensable part of the local culture and traditions of rice-growing people across Asia over many generations. The existence of this germplasm in the tidal swamp area of South Kalimantan Province, Indonesia has been observed morphologically and showed a close relationship with the local culture. A total of forty (40) traditional rice cultivars with different morphological characteristics have been found in this country, and still preserved sustainable by the local farmers along with their local culture and traditions. The tradition of 'wadai 41' may become a good example for this relationship. In this tradition, some traditional foods are made by the local people and use some of the local rice as basic ingredients. This information may be useful as guidance for conservation and rice breeding programs in the future.

Azadirachta excelsa Jack. is one of the fast growing species which have high resistance to pest and disease, good quality of wood, and high economic value. A. excelsa planting can be integrated with Phyllanthus spp. in agroforestry system. The research about meniran and sentang in agroforestry system was conducted to analyze the influence of A. excelsa allelopathy towards the growth of meniran and to analyze the growth of both plants. This research was conducted for six months in Bogor, West Java. This study was divided into three parts, (i) analyze the effect of allelopathy in A. excelsa leaf and twig on the growth of P. urinaria and Phyllanthus debilis, (ii) analyze the growth of A. excelsa in monoculture and agroforestry systems and (iii) analyze the growth of meniran in monoculture and agroforestry systems. The result showed that leaf and twigs litter of A. excelsa did not have negative allelopathic effect for the growth of P. urinaria and P. debilis. Agroforestry system did not give significant effect to the growth of A. excelsa . Agroforestry systems reduced the growth of both P. urinaria and P. debilis due to light deficiency.

The Computational and Neural Basis of Rhythmic Timing in Medial Premotor Cortex
Authors: Merchant Hugo , Averbeck Bruno B. 
Published: March 2017

The neural underpinnings of rhythmic behavior, including music and dance, have been studied using the synchronization-continuation task (SCT), where subjects initially tap in synchrony with an isochronous metronome and then keep tapping at a similar rate via an internal beat mechanism. Here, we provide behavioral and neural evidence that supports a resetting drift-diffusion model (DDM) during SCT. Behaviorally, we show the model replicates the linear relation between the mean and standard-deviation of the intervals produced by monkeys in SCT. We then show that neural populations in the medial premotor cortex (MPC) contain an accurate trial-by-trial representation of elapsed-time between taps. Interestingly, the autocorrelation structure of the elapsed-time representation is consistent with a DDM. These results indicate that MPC has an orderly representation of time with features characteristic of concatenated DDMs and that this population signal can be used to orchestrate the rhythmic structure of the internally timed elements of SCT.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe present study used behavioral data, ensemble recordings from medial premotor cortex (MPC) in macaque monkeys, and computational modeling, to establish evidence in favor of a class of drift-diffusion models of rhythmic timing during a synchronization-continuation tapping task (SCT). The linear relation between the mean and standard-deviation of the intervals produced by monkeys in SCT is replicated by the model. Populations of MPC cells faithfully represent the elapsed time between taps, and there is significant trial-by-trial relation between decoded times and the timing behavior of the monkeys. Notably, the neural decoding properties, including its autocorrelation structure are consistent with a set of drift-diffusion models that are arranged sequentially and that are resetting in each SCT tap.
Task-Dependent Behavioral Dynamics Make the Case for Temporal Integration in Multiple Strategies during Odor Processing

Differing results in olfactory-based decision-making research regarding the amount of time that rats and mice use to identify odors have led to some disagreements about odor-processing mechanics, including whether or not rodents use temporal integration (i.e., sniffing longer to identify odors better). Reported differences in behavioral strategies may be due to the different types of tasks used in different laboratories. Some researchers have reported that animals performing two-alternative choice (TAC) tasks need only 1–2 sniffs and do not increase performance with longer sampling. Others have reported that animals performing go/no-go (GNG) tasks increase sampling times and performance for difficult discriminations, arguing for temporal integration. We present results from four experiments comparing GNG and TAC tasks over several behavioral variables (e.g., performance, sampling duration). When rats know only one task, they perform better in GNG than in TAC. However, performance was not statistically different when rats learned and were tested in both tasks. Rats sample odors longer in GNG than in TAC, even when they know both tasks and perform them in the same or different sessions. Longer sampling is associated with better performance for both tasks in difficult discriminations, which supports the case for temporal integration over ≥2–6 sniffs in both tasks. These results illustrate that generalizations from a single task about behavioral or cognitive abilities (e.g., processing, perception) do not capture the full range of complexity and can significantly impact inferences about general abilities in sensory perception.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTBehavioral tasks and training and testing history affect measured outcomes in cognitive tests. Rats sample odors longer in a go/no-go (GNG) than in a two-alternative choice (TAC) task, performing better in GNG unless they know both tasks. Odor-sampling time is extended in both tasks when the odors to be discriminated are very similar. Rats may extend sampling time to integrate odor information up to ∼0.5 s (2–6 sniffs). Such factors as task, task parameters, and training history affect decision times and performance, making it important to use multiple tasks when making inferences about sensory or cognitive processing.

Astrocytes have in recent years become the focus of intense experimental interest, yet markers for their definitive identification remain both scarce and imperfect. Astrocytes may be recognized as such by their expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein, glutamine synthetase, glutamate transporter 1 (GLT1), aquaporin-4, aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member L1, and other proteins. However, these proteins may all be regulated both developmentally and functionally, restricting their utility. To identify a nuclear marker pathognomonic of astrocytic phenotype, we assessed differential RNA expression by FACS-purified adult astrocytes and, on that basis, evaluated the expression of the transcription factor SOX9 in both mouse and human brain. We found that SOX9 is almost exclusively expressed by astrocytes in the adult brain except for ependymal cells and in the neurogenic regions, where SOX9 is also expressed by neural progenitor cells. Transcriptome comparisons of SOX9+ cells with GLT1+ cells showed that the two populations of cells exhibit largely overlapping gene expression. Expression of SOX9 did not decrease during aging and was instead upregulated by reactive astrocytes in a number of settings, including a murine model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (SOD1G93A), middle cerebral artery occlusion, and multiple mini-strokes. We quantified the relative number of astrocytes using the isotropic fractionator technique in combination with SOX9 immunolabeling. The analysis showed that SOX9+ astrocytes constitute ∼10–20% of the total cell number in most CNS regions, a smaller fraction of total cell number than previously estimated in the normal adult brain.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTAstrocytes are traditionally identified immunohistochemically by antibodies that target cell-specific antigens in the cytosol or plasma membrane. We show here that SOX9 is an astrocyte-specific nuclear marker in all major areas of the CNS outside of the neurogenic regions. Based on SOX9 immunolabeling, we document that astrocytes constitute a smaller fraction of total cell number than previously estimated in the normal adult mouse brain.
Dalírio: arte y locura
Authors: Marín Villalobos Roberto 
Published: March 2017

¿Cuál es el lugar del arte en la psicología? ¿Hay en la locura un vértice entre ambos campos? ¿Hay en el delirio una función psíquica y cultural, más allá de las versiones románticas y psicopatológicas? Sin duda alguna, la propuesta daliniana sobre la paranoia-crítica puede ser considerada como una fuente de particular riqueza para intentar responder a tales interrogantes y abrir otras nuevas, lo cual, se convierte precisamente en el objetivo del presente artículo. La principal discusión gira en torno al hecho de que el delirio ha sido exiliado por cierta psicología y psicoanálisis actual hacia la psiquiatría, principalmente en su práctica clínica. Se establece, entonces, un análisis sobre cómo el método paranoico-crítico creado por Salvador Dalí puede ser utilizado para cuestionar este distanciamiento, ya que el delirio podría ser un fenómeno psíquico más común de lo que muchos hallan hoy creíble.
El Arte, un espectador de la Guerra. Del dolor de los cuerpos femeninos a la profanación del Ser
Authors: Solorzáno Alejandra 
Published: March 2017

El arte en algunas de sus obras más importantes, ha sido observador declarante de la historia y la continuidad de un cierto proceso de "naturalización" por la que el cuerpo femenino ha sido botín de guerra. Las autorías que ilustran a través del tiempo "el rapto", y en alguna medida la justificación de robo, sometimiento y sacrificio de mujeres a causa de su belleza como recompensa de guerra, revelan un problema vigente y crítico sobre nuestra contemporaneidad, el secuestro del cuerpo por sobre la anulación del Ser femenino. Importantes obras de arte que registran de forma bella y acrítica, sucesos de la mitología tales como el rapto de Europa, el secuestro de Perséfone, las Sabinas, el sacrificio de Ifigenia, por mencionar algunas, fundamentan las bases de una maquillada “justificación” de la violencia sexual y la esclavitud femenina, que en la historia del mundo, casos como el de Boc Dong Kim y las “mujeres de solaz” o “mujeres de confort” de Corea, China, Filipinas, Malayas, entre otras (Segunda Guerra Mundial), y el caso de las mujeres de Sepur Zarco en Guatemala (1980-1983), son ejemplos de un doble crimen de guerra. Se anula al Sujeto femenino por la instrumentalización de su corporalidad. La belleza como mandato social y asignación de género es un enemigo profanador de la constitución ontológica del ser femenino. La mujer como cuerpo y el cuerpo que le es despojado. En tanto, el arte ha sido un testigo pasivo y quizá, en su indolencia, legitimador.
