Published: August 2015

Abstract
Climate changes are expected to create favourable conditions for development and spread of diseases. Therefore, the impact of meteorological factors on needle cast damage, and relationship between degree of damage and growth of trees had been assessed in the study. Analysis was carried out in open-pollinated progeny trial of Norupe seed orchard clones, established in the spring of 2006, in Ltd. “Rīgas meži” (LLC “Riga Forests”). In this trial needle cast damage was assessed in three consecutive years using a fivegrade scale, dependent on the level of damages on current year needles. At the end of each growing season a tree height was measured. Plantation was significantly affected by infection average more than 66% of current year damaged by the disease. Significant (p<0.001) correlation was detected between the degree of needle cast damage and tree height increment as well as the tree height. Significant (p<0.001) differences in needle cast infection level as well as tree height and height increment were found also between open-pollinated families. The results suggest a potentially increasing needle cast infection due to predicted increase of temperature and precipitation, as well as the potential to select more resistant families against damages of this disease in tree breeding process.
Preparation and fluid drag reduction properties of superhydrophobic paper-based films comprising carbon nanotubes and fluoropolymers
Authors: Ma Weiwei , Zhou Zhiping , Li Ping 
Published: August 2015

AbstractCarbon nanotubes (CNTs) were successfully prepared using chemical vapor deposition method on nickel-coated silicon substrates. The CNTs were then modified to obtain functionalized ends. Afterward, acrylate polymers were successfully grafted on the surface of CNTs by atom transfer radical polymerization method. The synthesis process was optimized by studying the surface properties of the composite films. It revealed the existence of chemical bonding between CNTs and polymers. The introduction of CNTs into polymers could improve the water resistance of films. Micro/nano and papillary structures similar to that of lotus leaf were obtained when the polymer matrix was partly etched. The excellent fluid drag reduction performances of film surfaces were expected to be applied in microfluid devices and packaging field.
Review of Speaking hatefully: Culture, communication, and political action in Hungary
Authors: Kvam Dani 
Published: August 2015

AbstractThis review discusses the major contributions of David Boromisza-Habashi’s (2013) book, Speaking hatefully: Culture, communication, and political action in Hungary to the study of hate speech, public discourse, and ways in which culture makes both meaningful. In particular, this review describes how Boromisza-Habashi’s book makes novel claims about a commonly employed communication practice, hate speech, by treating the Hungarian political context as a cultural context and the political discourse that populates this context as cultural discourse. Although the book offers many contributions to diverse interests and literatures, this review names the author’s discussion of context, key symbol analysis, and offer of counsel as the book’s most compelling contributions. Additionally, this review offers a brief critique of the book, calling for more details about the “authoring unity” solution proposed to unify opposing parties in the hate speech debates. Ultimately, this review highlights the exceptional quality of the book and its potential utility for EC and public discourse scholars.

„Ethik des ‚Reiches Gottes‘ “
Authors: Danz Christian 
Published: August 2015

AbstractThis contribution analyzes the connection between Tillich’s eschatology and morality against the historical background of Immanuel Kant and Albrecht Ritschl. Both in his early and in his later work, Tillich connects the idea of the kingdom of God with his own historical context and with the knowledge of the changing character of all historical norms.
La radicalité eschatologique de l’éthique et la dimension théonomique de l’autonomie.
Authors: Müller Denis 
Published: August 2015

AbstractTillichian correlation tendency presents undeniable advantages towards a nuanced and dynamic articulation of philosophy and theology, and as such of ethics and religion. Nonetheless, there are reasons to wonder whether the modern rediscovery of apocalyptic and eschatological discourse in the heart of theological thinking will not create new tensions that might subvert the conception of ethics in itself. Can we reconsider this critical dialectic with tillichian categories, or must we also touch on this problematic under a new angle?
Die politische Ethik Paul Tillichs
Authors: Scheliha Arnulf von 
Published: August 2015

AbstractThe following essay reconstructs Tillich’s political ethics during the period of Weimar until the end of World War II (1919-1945). After a short introduction into his early understanding of theological ethics and normativity selected publications and statements are discussed with special respect to the topics Democracy, Religious Socialism and human rights. Thus Tillich’s theological reason in combination with his view on contemporary political questions indicates a development in mutual dependency. It also shows his theological basis as the main protection against ideological thinking especially in regard to the thoughts and consequences within German National Socialism.
„Wenn aber die vulkanischen Kräfte aufwachen…“
Authors: Christophersen Alf 
Published: August 2015

AbstractThe theological “eschatologism” of the 1920’s can be described as a radical criticism of traditionally spoken language and a rapid expansion of the historio-semantic universe. In the discourses on the interpretation of time in the Weimar Republic, ‘kairos’ experienced a unique career. The fascinating openness of the word’s concept made it very attractive from a linguistic point of view, but it also meant that it was vulnerable to a takeover by the intellectual elements connected with the National Socialist seizure of power that endeavored to make it their own. This essay picks out one of the most central elements within the kairos discourse: it analyzes both connections between Paul Tillich and controversial sociologist Hans Freyer from Leipzig while presenting contrasts of philosophy of life, political romanticism and religious socialism.
„Wir alle sind von Hause aus Nominalisten.“
Authors: Röbel Marc 
Published: August 2015

AbstractThis paper works out Tillich’s discussion of Nominalism as a base of contrast, against which his own thought developed. This is true for what he called his “constructive ontology” in his American period, during which he replaced the transcendental philosophical approach to meaning of his early period. But he also began to sketch this out already in his early writings, especially in his historical interpretation of the late medieval direction of thought. One can also find this in his analysis of culture and ask how it affects his present philosophical relevance.
Unbedingtsetzung von Bedingtem.
Authors: Raatz Georg 
Published: August 2015

AbstractWhy is religion vulnerable to fundamentalism? This question plays no significant role in the current empiric and historical rather than religio-theoretical research. At first the article reconstructs structures of Tillich’s concept of religious fundamentalism in his later works. In a second step it scrutinizes elements of Tillich’s Religionsphilosophie (1925), which are relevant to a theory of the conditions of the possibility of religious fundamentalism, even to the present debate. The central thesis is: Religious fundamentalism grounds on the confusion of absoluteness with relativeness.
An der engen Pforte der historischen Methode vorbei …
Authors: Sturm Erdmann 
Published: August 2015

AbstractThis edition shows the problems associated with Tillich’s habilitation in Halle (1914- 16), and provides details of his subsequent “Umhabilitierungen” (transfers of habilitation) from Halle to Berlin and Marburg. Tillich had been obliged to write his habilitation thesis on supernaturalism as a historical study, but he wrote it as a purely logical and dialectical work from the standpoint of Schelling’s philosophy of identity. That was the conclusion of the referees of his thesis (Kattenbusch, Loofs, Lütgert). But Lütgert’s argument helped in getting the work accepted. Tillich’s anti-supernaturalism is reflected in his correspondence with E. Hirsch. In January 1919, Tillich was allowed to change from Halle to Berlin (“because of economic reasons”). Another “Umhabilitierung”, this time to Marburg, was made in 1924 although Tillich would have preferred to stay in Berlin.

Abstract
With the help of the conditional similarity reduction method, a new family of complex wave solutions with q=lx + my + kt + Γ(x, y, t) for the (2+1)-dimensional modified dispersive water-wave (MDWW) system are obtained. Based on the derived solitary wave solution, some novel complex wave localised excitations are investigated.
The ‘microliths’ from the Isles of Scilly and the continental Mesolithic: similar yet still so different
Authors: Crombé Philippe 
Published: August 2015

There is little doubt that the small lithic assemblage from the Isles of Scilly is totally different to that from any other Mesolithic site in Britain. As the authors correctly state, the general resemblances to trapeze-dominated assemblages from the continent, in particular to the Late and Final Mesolithic industries from northern France, Belgium and the southern Netherlands, are very obvious. Typologically, the majority of armatures relate to continental rhombic trapezes, called ‘trapèzes à bases décalées’. Upon closer examination, however, several armatures display morphological or technical features that deviate from continental trapezes, making the Scilly assemblage both unique and enigmatic within north-west Europe. In particular, the presence of a dorsally or ventrally retouched base between both truncations on at least 20 of the armatures (p. 962, fig. 5) is remarkable. This is a feature that does not occur on continental trapezes, not even on the evolved rhombic trapezes known as flèches de Dreuil. The latter are particularly numerous in assemblages from the Somme valley (Ducrocq 1991), near the coast where the Channel crossing is narrowest. The combination of a length–width ratio typically <1 and the general use of flakes as blanks prompts us to interpret these implements as transverse arrowheads rather than standard trapezes. Pursuing this interpretation, the basal retouch might have been applied in order to facilitate their hafting, while the irregular small ‘splinters’ on the unretouched opposite end, visible on several of the drawings, might correspond to damage resulting from use.

Published: August 2015

RESUMO
Este trabalho teve por objetivo analisar se o valor repassado pelo Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) é suficiente para cobrir os custos das diárias da Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) pediátrica em hospitais Universitários de Ensino através de uma pesquisa de campo realizada no hospital Universitáro do Triângulo Mineiro. O equilíbrio da sustentabilidade econômico-financeira do hospital depende da gestão de custos em hospitais que estão coveniados ao SUS como fonte de receita. A metodologia utilizada caracteriza-se por um estudo de caso e, para a coleta de dados, foi utilizada a técnica de observação e análise documental, evidenciando um déficit entre a receita e a despesa do centro de custo das diárias de UTI pediatria. Verificou-se, também, que os gestores hospitalares necessitam da sustentabilidade econômico-financeira das organizações hospitalares, sendo necessário, para isso, que a Tabela SUS seja reajustada para se adequar aos reais custos de uma entidade hospitalar.

Colméias com padrão Langstroth, povoadas com abelhas africanizadas (Apis mellifera L.), foram introduzidas em áreas de cultivo comercial de melão amarelo (Cucumis melo L.), variedade AF-646, no Projeto de Irrigação do Baixo Acaraú, município de Marco-CE. O experimento constou de quatro tratamentos: Testemunha (sem a introdução de colméias), 2 colméias/ha, 4 colméias/ha e 6 colméias/ha. As variáveis observadas foram: Freqüência de abelhas nas flores, taxa de vingamento inicial de frutos, produção total de frutos, produção de frutos para o mercado interno, produção de frutos para exportação. O tratamento 06 colônias por hectare apresentou freqüência de abelhas melíferas nas flores, superior aos demais tratamentos. Para o vingamento inicial de frutos, os tratamentos com 6 e 4 colmeias/ha apresentaram maior número de frutos vingados, entre os quais não foi observada diferença estatística significativa(P>0,05). A produção total de frutos também foi superior nos tratamentos 6 e 4 colmeias/ha, que não apresentaram diferença estatísticas entre si. Os tratamentos com as menores produções foram 2 colmeias por hectare e sem a introdução de colmeias, que diferiram dos anteriores e entre si (P<0,05). O uso de 4 colmeias padrão Lanstroth, povoadas com colônias plenamente desenvolvidas de abelhas melíferas africanizadas (Apis mellifera L.), é suficiente para maximizar a produtividade do meloeiro (Cucumis melo L.), para as condições em o estudo foi conduzido.
Perfil de idosos atendidos pela Terapia Ocupacional na Residência Multidisciplinar de um hospital público

Published: August 2015

Esta é uma pesquisa quantitativa e descritiva, tendo como objetivo traçar o perfil dos idosos encaminhados ao atendimento em Terapia Ocupacional na Residência Integrada Multiprofissional em Saúde (RIMS) do Hospital de Clínicas em Uberaba. Os resultados evidenciaram que a grande prevalência de múltiplas patologias esteve associada à diminuição da capacidade funcional, à baixa participação social na comunidade, ao impacto das atividades de lazer rotineiras na internação e à correlação existente entre uma boa qualidade de sono e uma melhor capacidade funcional. O conhecimento e a análise desses perfis devem facilitar as estratégias de terapia ocupacional para essa população que ganha destaque e necessita de atenção especial.

O objetivo deste artigo é descrever o processo e os resultados associados com a adoção no estudo Worksite Weight Control (Controle de Peso no Local de Trabalho). Este é um estudo quantitativo desenvolvido no Estado da Virginia nos Estados Unidos entre os anos de 2007 e 2010. Um total de 119 locais de trabalho foram identificados como potencialmente elegíveis com base em tamanho, no acesso à internet e vontade de realizar um questionário breve de saúde no local de trabalho. Setenta e três foram elegíveis, 28 (38,3%) foram inscritos, e 26 completaram os 12 meses de intervenção (35,6%). Estes locais incluíram quatro instalações médicas (14,3%), seis centros de distribuição e produção (21,4%), cinco grupos profissionais das áreas de direito, publicidade, engenharia, vendas e suporte de tecnologia da informação (17,9%), dois centros de atendimento (7,1%), quatro faculdades e universidades pequenas (14,3%), e sete agências governamentais (25,0%). Não houve diferenças estatisticamente significativas nas taxas de adoção com base no tipo de local de trabalho. No entanto, houve tendências sugerindo que grupos profissionais e faculdades pequenas eram mais propensos a recusar a participação, sendo que as fábricas e agências governamentais eram mais aptos à participação. Os resultados sugerem que os programas foram aceitáveis para uma variedade de tipos de local de trabalho, mas programas aplicados pela internet podem não ser tão atraentes para grupos profissionais e faculdades de pequeno porte.
Near‐Remote Green: Red Perpendicular Vegetation Index Ground Cover Fraction Estimation in Cotton
Authors: Sharma Bablu , Ritchie Glen L. , Rajan Nithya 
Published: August 2015

ABSTRACTGround cover fraction (GCF) can be used as a proxy for leaf area index, plant radiation capture, and plant canopy characteristics in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). One method of imagery‐based GCF estimation is to separate plant pixels from soil pixels based on intensity of reflected green and red radiation. However, this method can be time‐consuming, may be subject to bias, and is limited by image resolution. We examine a simple, image‐based measure of GCF that provides a rapid measurement of crop growth based on the concept of the perpendicular vegetation index (PVI) but using two visible camera channels. The method is based on two linear relationships: one of which measures the relationship between intensity of green and red reflectance for all soil brightness values (the soil line) and another that measures green and red for 100% canopy cover. The GCF in an image is then calculated based on the mean reflectance of the image and the ratio of the image green values to that of 100% GCF from a defined soil line (GCFPVI‐Green). A strong linear relationship was found between the GCFPVI‐Green and a method of separating soil pixels from plant pixels (GCFPixelCount). The GCFPVI‐Green was relatively insensitive to multiple cultivars and irrigation levels. The high correlation between GCFPVI‐Green and GCFPixelCount, as well as the similarities of results between this method and previous methods based on near‐infrared (NIR) and red pixel values, suggest that GCFPVI‐Green may be useful as a more timely alternative method to estimate GCF in agricultural fields.
Genomewide Association for Sugar Yield in Sweet Sorghum
Authors: Burks Payne S. , Kaiser Chris M. , Hawkins Elizabeth M. , Brown Patrick J. 
Published: August 2015

ABSTRACTSweet sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is characterized by juicy stems with high concentrations of fermentable sugars. The genetic basis of these phenotypes is not understood. A sweet sorghum diversity panel (n = 252), consisting of sweet sorghum cultivars (n = 80) and diverse landraces selected for matching plant height and maturity (n = 172), was genotyped and phenotyped in three environments over 2 yr for sugar‐yield‐related traits. Sugar yield is the product of juice volume and sugar concentration (Brix). Juice volume but not Brix was significantly higher in sweet sorghum cultivars than in diverse landraces. Most diverse landraces had white midribs, whereas most sweet cultivars had green midribs. The presence of green midribs was strongly correlated with increased sugar yield, juice volume, and moisture but was not significantly correlated with dry biomass. Genomewide association identified a major quantitative trait locus for midrib color, sugar yield, juice volume, and moisture at ∼51.8 Mb on chromosome 6, a genomic region previously reported to contain the Dry midrib (D) locus. Midrib color itself was more highly predictive of sugar yield than any significant single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in this region, suggesting that either the causal mutation at the D locus is not in high linkage disequilibrium with any SNP in the dataset or that multiple mutations affect midrib color in sorghum. Significant negative correlations between Brix and grain harvest index indicate the existence of trade‐offs between grain and sugar yields.
