Published: November 2017

The phenology of Synanthedon myopaeformis Borkhausen. (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae) was studied in the region of Larissa, Central Greece, for three consecutive years (1993-1995). S. myopaeformis most propably completes one generation per year on apple trees. It overwinters as lavra of different sizes in the feeding tunnels in the trunk and branches. Pupation takes place from the end of March to the beginning of September with a peak in late May – beginning June. The emergence of adults takes place from late April to the beginning of October with the main peak in mid June. The larvae of the new generation start to appear from the beginning of May with a maximum in late June–beginning of July. Most of the infestation is observed in the grafting points and the pruning wounds. The results indicate that the pest becomes increasingly important in the study area. This study could be useful in determining the optimum timing of control measures.
Prediction of Infestation by Beetles in Stored Wheat Using Two Sampling Methods
Authors: Athanassiou G. , Buchelos C. Th. 
Published: November 2017

Studies were conducted in order to assess the use of binomial sampling for prediction of infestation level in stored wheat. In each of three steel silos with 1500 metric tones of wheat each, located in central Greece, 14 probe traps were placed on 15 June 1997. The traps were checked for adult coleoptera. every 15 days, from 30 June until 30 January 1998. On the same dates, 14 wheat samples were taken adjacent to the trap locations, using a grain trier. Most abundant species were found to be Cryptolestesferrugineus and Tribolium castaneum in the traps, while Sitophilus oryzae in the samples. Regarding all species detected, traps were proved to be more effective as compared to the samples. Taylor’s Power Law was used, in order to estimate y-intercept and slope values for each species, The comparison of these parameters indicated that a single (weighted) equation can describe equally well the relation between the mean and the variance, according to Taylor’s Power Law, for all adults found, regardless of species. The parameters of this relation were utilized to connect the ratio of sampling units containing one or more adults and the mean number of adults per sampl i ng unit (x), using Wilson and Room’s model. Regarding trap catches, the same model can he used to predict an infestation, with a sufficient precision level, mainly when K<5; on the contrary, the results were not satisfactory in the case of adult numbers in the samples.
Draft genomes of two Australian strains of the plant pathogen, Phytophthora cinnamomi
Authors: Longmuir Amy L. , Beech Peter L. , Richardson Mark F. 
Published: November 2017

Background: The oomycete plant pathogen, Phytophthora cinnamomi, is responsible for the destruction of thousands of species of native Australian plants, as well as several crops, such as avocado and macadamia, and has one of the widest host-plant ranges of the Phytophthora genus. The currently available genome of P. cinnamomi is based on an atypical strain and has large gaps in its assembly. To further studies of the pathogenicity of this species, especially in Australia, more robust assemblies of the genomes of more typical strains are required. Here we report the genome sequencing, draft assembly, and preliminary annotation of two geographically separated Australian strains of P. cinnamomi. Findings: Some 308 million raw reads were generated for the two strains. Independent genome assembly produced final genomes of 62.8 Mb (in 14,268 scaffolds) and 68.1 Mb (in 10,084 scaffolds), which are comparable in size and contiguity to other Phytophthora genomes. Gene prediction yielded > 22,000 predicted protein-encoding genes within each genome, while BUSCO assessment showed 82.5% and 81.8% of the eukaryote universal single-copy orthologs to be present in the assembled genomes, respectively. Conclusions: The assembled genomes of two geographically distant isolates of Phytophthora cinnamomi will provide a valuable resource for further comparative analysis and evolutionary studies of this destructive pathogen, and further annotation of the presented genomes may yield possible targets for novel pathogen control methods.
You can’t burn the house down because of one bedbug: a qualitative study of changing gender norms in the prevention of violence against women and girls in an urban informal settlement in India
Authors: Daruwalla Nayreen , Hate Ketaki , Pinto Preethi , Ambavkar Gauri , Kakad Bhaskar , Osrin David 
Published: November 2017

Background: The contribution of structural inequalities and societal legitimisation to violence against women, which 30% of women in India survive each year, is widely accepted. There is a consensus that interventions should aim to change gender norms, particularly through community mobilisation. How this should be done is less clear. Methods: We did a qualitative study in a large informal settlement in Mumbai, an environment that characterises 41% of households. After reviewing the anonymised records of consultations with 1653 survivors of violence, we conducted 5 focus group discussions and 13 individual interviews with 71 women and men representing a range of age groups and communities. We based the interviews on fictitious biographical vignettes to elicit responses and develop an understanding of social norms. We wondered whether, in trying to change norms, we might exploit the disjunction between descriptive norms (beliefs about what others actually do) and injunctive norms (beliefs about what others think one ought to do), focusing program activities on evidence that descriptive norms are changing. Results: We found that descriptive and injunctive norms were relatively similar with regard to femininity, masculinity, the need for marriage and childbearing, resistance to separation and divorce, and disapproval of friendships between women and men. Some constraints on women’s dress and mobility were relaxing, but there were more substantial differences between descriptive and injunctive norms around women’s education, control of income and finances, and premarital sexual relationships. Conclusions: Programmatically, we hope to exploit these areas of mismatch in the context of injunctive norms generally inimical to violence against women. We propose that an under-appreciated strategy is expansion of the reference group: induction of relatively isolated women and men into broader social groups whose descriptive and injunctive norms do not tolerate violence
Case Article—Business Value in Integrating Predictive and Prescriptive Analytics Models
Authors: Kopcso David , Pachamanova Dessislava 
Published: November 2017

This article suggests ways to frame classroom discussion around the business value of models in data science, predictive analytics, and management science classes. We consider an example in which predictive analytics is used to determine the inputs to prescriptive models for customer service, and illustrate how calculations of business value enter the process of creating recommendations for business stakeholders. A review of predictive and prescriptive techniques and how they map to business problems is provided to explain the context for the exercise, and the level of analytics maturity of organizations is discussed in connection with the use of predictive and prescriptive analytics. This example presents a unified view of concepts from traditionally disparate areas of analytics, making it suitable as a capstone or an ongoing project in a data science or business analytics course.

Embedding Formulations and Complexity for Unions of Polyhedra
Authors: Vielma Juan Pablo 
Published: November 2017

It is well known that selecting a good mixed-integer programming (MIP) formulation is crucial for effectively obtaining a solution with state-of-the art solvers. Although best practices and guidelines for constructing good formulations abound, there is rarely a single systematic construction approach that leads to the best possible formulation. Here, we introduce embedding formulations and complexity as a new MIP formulation paradigm for systematically constructing formulations for disjunctive constraints that are optimal with respect to size. More specifically, they yield the smallest possible ideal formulation (i.e., one whose LP relaxation has integral extreme points) among all formulations that only use 0-1 auxiliary variables. We use the paradigm to characterize optimal formulations for special ordered sets of type 2 and certain piecewise linear functions of two variables. We also show that the resultant formulations can provide a significant computational advantage over all known formulations for piecewise linear functions.

Increasing forearm vessel diameter before arteriovenous fistula creation for patients with chronic kidney disease
Authors: Barbosa Jefferson BN , Medeiros Ana IC , Fuzari Helen KB , Rocha Taciano DS , Cerqueira Mikhail S , Marinho Patricia EM 
Published: November 2017

Background/Aims: To prevent failure in the formation of arteriovenous fistulas, performing exercises for the forearm is beneficial for the maturation of blood vessels, but it has not yet been performed in association with a partial restriction of blood flow. This protocol will analyse the effectiveness of physical exercise with a partial restriction of blood flow on the diameter of the cephalic vein in patients with chronic kidney disease before an arteriovenous fistula is created. Methods: A total of 40 patients with chronic kidney disease with an indication for arteriovenous fistulas formation will conduct an 8-week training programme. They will be allocated to an experimental group where they will perform exercises (isometric and isotonic concentric) to the muscles of the non-dominant forearm with partial restriction of blood flow. The control group will perform the same exercises but without any restriction of blood flow. The protocols will be performed for 5 days a week (2 days in ambulatory physical therapy and 3 days at home). Conclusion: It is expected to note the increase in the diameter of the vessels studied after physical training combined with partial restriction of blood flow to patients with chronic kidney disease.
Collapsing times: The Attis Theatre workshop, Athens, July 2015
Authors: Siouzouli Natascha 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
This article reflects upon a personal experience deriving from the juxtaposition of the Attis Theatre workshop that took place in Athens, in July 2015, and its socio-political context, namely the events surrounding the country’s vote on the new deal with its creditors and the mass migration from countries of west and central Asia to Greece. Focusing on the journeys between ‘outside’ and ‘inside’, the ­article specifically explores different temporalities, how they emerged, how they corresponded with each other, how they clashed. Viewing the strategy developed by the workshop and its wider impact as a metaphor for an ethical stance trespassing the limits of its aesthetic context, I outline the possibility of theatre as a timespace that changes everything.

El síndrome de Prune Belly es un trastorno congénito infrecuente, caracterizado por alteración de la musculatura abdominal (hipoplasia), criptorquidia bilateral y anomalías del tracto genitourinario; esta última característica es determinante para la amplia variedad clínica con que se presenta este trastorno en la etapa neonatal y, además, está directamente asociada con el pronóstico de la enfermedad, dado que este depende del grado de compromiso de la función renal al momento del diagnóstico. En este reporte, se presenta el caso de un neonato con diagnóstico prenatal de este síndrome, con manejo multidisciplinario durante el periodo neonatal . Se recomienda el abordaje diagnóstico-terapéutico temprano y oportuno que disminuya el riesgo de complicaciones y permita prolongar la sobrevida en este tipo de pacientes.
Clinical Manifestations of Self-disorders in Schizophrenia Spectrum Conditions
Authors: Henriksen Mads Gram , Parnas Josef 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
This article explores the phenomenologically informed, theoretical and empirical research direction on self-disorders in the schizophrenia spectrum conditions. First, we describe the concept of ‘self’ that is operative in the concept of ‘self-disorders’ and we discuss how this self may be disordered or fragile in the schizophrenia spectrum. Second, we offer a detailed psychopathological presentation and discussion of 3 patients with schizophrenia. The vignettes provide paradigmatic examples of self-disorders in schizophrenia. Third, we summarize the main findings in the current empirical research on self-disorders. These findings consistently indicate that self-disorders constitute a crucial, trait phenotype of the schizophrenia spectrum.

First record of Stibarobdella moorei (Annelida, Hirudinea, Piscicolidae) a marine leech parasitizing Octopus bimaculatus (Mollusca: Octopodidae) from the Mexican Pacific coast
Authors: López-Peraza D. J. , Hernández-Rodríguez M. , Barón-Sevilla B. , Bückle-Ramírez L. F. , Grano-Maldonado M. I. 
Published: November 2017

Summary
The occurrence of the parasitic marine leech Stibarobdella moorei (Oka, 1910) (Hirudinea: Piscicolidae) along the northwest Mexican Pacific coast is described for the first time. This ectoparasite was collected from the skin of the Octopus bimaculatus (Verril, 1983) (Mollusca: Octopodidae). Stibarobdella loricata (Hardig, 1924) is synonymized with S. moorei as this species resembles other species of the genus based on tubercle patterns and the presence of papillae and a marginal fringe on the oral sucker. The present finding throws new light on the biodiversity and host preference of the ectoparasite and suggests a successful migration to unusual host. The coast of the Pacific Ocean, particularly in the Bay of Los Angeles, Baja California, Mexico is a new geographical distribution area for S. moorei, and O. bimaculatus is a new host reported for this leech. The morphology of this ectoparasite is briefly described.

The collaborative dimensions of argument maps: A socio-visual approach
Authors: Bresciani Sabrina , Eppler Martin J. 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
This paper examines the collaborative use of visual argument maps in the context of argument production in organizations. Argument maps are highly multimodal, as their use involves the combination of diagrams, text elements, as well as spoken statements. In this theoretical piece, we apply a Collaborative Dimensions framework to argument maps that can be used to better design, understand, evaluate, and use argument maps in collaborative settings for decision making purposes. Specifically, our conceptual framework – derived from interdisciplinary perspectives – takes into consideration how the visual dimensions of argument maps have a bearing on the social interactions of people involved in a complex argumentation process. We posit that cognitive dimensions of argument maps need to be enriched with additional communicative and collaborative dimensions in order to foster a more widespread adoption of argument mapping in organizational decision making. In our socio-visual approach to argument mapping, we thus distinguish the following seven dimensions: Visual Insight, Outcome Clarity, Directed Focus, Perceived Finishedness, Visual Appeal, Content Modifiability, and Collaboration Support. We illustrate the use of the framework as an evaluation tool and analyze three different approaches to argument mapping with the help of the seven dimensions. In this way, the framework can be used to improve collaborative argument mapping. Our contribution thus lies in proposing an interdisciplinary and theoretically grounded set of factors to augment the quality of argument maps, both from a process and a results perspective. In this manner we hope to contribute to the theory of argumentation through the rich notion of “collaborative dimensions,” as well as further the practice of collaborative argument production through a more reflective and systematic use of interactive argument visualization.

Structural, Optical and Magnetic Properties of Nanocrystalline Co-Doped ZnO Thin Films Grown by Sol–Gel
Authors: Kayani Zohra Nazir , Shah Iqra , Zulfiqar Bareera , Riaz Saira , Naseem Shahzad , Sabah Aneeqa 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Cobalt-doped ZnO thin films have been deposited using a sol–gel route by changing the number of coats on the substrate from 6 to 18. This project deals with various film thicknesses by increasing the number of deposited coats. The effect of thickness on structural, magnetic, surface morphology and optical properties of Co-doped ZnO thin film was studied. The crystal structure of the Co-doped ZnO films was investigated by X-ray diffraction. The films have polycrystalline wurtzite hexagonal structures. A Co2+ ion takes the place of a Zn2+ ion in the lattice without creating any distortion in its hexagonal wurtzite structure. An examination of the optical transmission spectra showed that the energy band gap of the Co-doped ZnO films increased from 3.87 to 3.97 eV with an increase in the number of coatings on the substrate. Ferromagnetic behaviour was confirmed by measurements using a vibrating sample magnetometer. The surface morphology of thin films was assessed by scanning electron microscope. The grain size on the surface of thin films increased with an increase in the number of coats.

Published: November 2017

Abstract
Competitive activities always support improvement in quality. In this study, a repetitive group sampling plan is designed to compare the two process yield indices of respective suppliers. A ratio statistic of two yield indices is proposed for estimated linear profiles under normal assumptions. The operating characteristic function is derived by using the distribution of the ratio statistic. Designed parameters are optimized to minimize the sample size required.
Impact Properties of Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes Modified Composites

Published: November 2017

Abstract
Multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) modifications are introduced on the surface of prepreg to enhance the impact properties of epoxy/Kevlar fiber composites. First, six kinds of Kevlar fiber reinforced composite modified by different weight fractions of MWCNTs were prepared using the combination of spray and brush methods. Second, low-velocity impact experiments were carried out to study the dynamic behavior of neat and modified laminates in terms of the impact force, damage morphology, strain evolution, and impact energy. Finally, the results indicated that the MWCNTs modified laminates with weight fraction 1.67, 3.33 wt. % had superior dynamic responses than neat laminate, but much more MWCNTs content will decrease the impact properties of composite materials obviously. This work provided an important basis for designing and evaluating the nanometer modified laminates.
