Abstract
Background
The Commerson’s leaf-nosed bat, Hipposideros commersoni sensu stricto, is endemic to Madagascar and is relatively common in the western portion of the island, where it is found in areas, including forested zones, from sea level to 1325 m. A previous study on morphological patterns of geographic variation within the species highlighted the presence of two distinct morphotypes; larger individuals in the north portion of the island and smaller individuals in the south. The main aim of this study was to use a combination of craniodental morphology and molecular data (mitochondrial and nuclear) to test previous hypotheses based on morphology and clarify the evolutionary history of the species group.

Methods
We sequenced mitochondrial and nuclear genes from Hipposideros commersoni obtained from the western portion of Madagascar, and compared them with other African species as outgroups. We analyzed the sequence data using Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian phylogenetic inference. Divergence dates were estimated using Bayesian molecular clock approach. Variation in craniodental variables was also assessed from sequenced individuals.

Results
The molecular analyses suggest that H. commersoni is not monophyletic, with strong support for the presence of several independently evolving lineages. Two individuals amongst those sequenced from Isalo (south central) and Itampolo (southwest) form a separate clade (Clade A), distinct from other H. commersoni, and sister to continental African H. vittatus and H. gigas. Within the H. commersoni clade, the molecular data support two geographically distributed clades; one from the south (Clade B) and the other from the north (Clade C), which diverged approximately 3.38 million years ago. Morphometric data were consistent with the molecular analyses, suggesting a north–south break within H. commersoni. However, at some localities, animals from both clades occurred in sympatry and these individuals could not be differentiated based on external and craniodental measurements.

Conclusions
Using a combination of molecular and morphological characters, this study presents evidence of cryptic diversity in H. commersoni on Madagascar. Further fine-scale phylogeographic studies are needed to fully resolve the systematics of H. commersoni. This study highlights the utility of the combined approach in employing both morphological and molecular data to provide insights into the evolutionary history of Malagasy population currently assigned to H. commersoni.

Abstract
Introduction
In immunocompromised patients, acute respiratory failure (ARF) is associated with high mortality, particularly when invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) is required. In patients with severe hypoxemia, high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) therapy has been used as an alternative to delivery of oxygen via a Venturi mask. Our objective in the present study was to compare HFNO and Venturi mask oxygen in immunocompromised patients with ARF.

Methods
We conducted a multicenter, parallel-group randomized controlled trial in four intensive care units. Inclusion criteria were hypoxemic ARF and immunosuppression, defined as at least one of the following: solid or hematological malignancy, steroid or other immunosuppressant drug therapy, and HIV infection. Exclusion criteria were hypercapnia, previous IMV, and immediate need for IMV or noninvasive ventilation (NIV). Patients were randomized to 2 h of HFNO or Venturi mask oxygen.

Results
The primary endpoint was a need for IMV or NIV during the 2-h oxygen therapy period. Secondary endpoints were comfort, dyspnea, and thirst, as assessed hourly using a 0–10 visual analogue scale. We randomized 100 consecutive patients, including 84 with malignancies, to HFNO (n = 52) or Venturi mask oxygen (n = 48). During the 2-h study treatment period, 12 patients required IMV or NIV, and we found no significant difference between the two groups (15 % with HFNO and 8 % with the Venturi mask, P = 0.36). None of the secondary endpoints differed significantly between the two groups.

Conclusions
In immunocompromised patients with hypoxemic ARF, a 2-h trial with HFNO improved neither mechanical ventilatory assistance nor patient comfort compared with oxygen delivered via a Venturi mask. However, the study was underpowered because of the low event rate and the one-sided hypothesis.

Stripping very low frequency communication signals with minimum shift keying encoding from streamed time-domain electromagnetic data
Authors: Macnae James 
Published: October 2015

The objective of this research is to eliminate very low frequency (VLF) communication signals with frequencies in the range of 15–25 kHz from streamed time-domain electromagnetic data. The frequency-domain approach of notch filtering or bandwidth limitation is unsatisfactory when early delay-time data are required in a time-domain system. United States military VLF transmitters presently communicate [Formula: see text] using minimum shift keying modulation, and it is possible to derive the encrypted bitstream from the data sampled at typical geophysical streaming rates. The method involves convolving the data with waveforms of frequency different by one-quarter of the bit rate above and below the carrier frequency and using the difference between the convolutions to predict the transmitted bits. The transmitted signal is then exactly recreated from the decoded bits, and the predicted signal at the receiver is subtracted from the data stream. It is possible to predict bit rates and encoding methods from other military transmitters through data analysis and again subtract the predicted signals from the streamed data. This procedure reduces the variance of data, implying that unwanted VLF signals have been reduced by a factor of three to nine in stations thousands of kilometers from a VLF transmitter. Much larger signal/noise improvements are predicted for stations within a few hundred kilometers of the VLF source. Lower degrees of improvement are noted from Indian and Chinese transmitters, which appear to have different encoding and modulation methods.
Feeling the future: A meta-analysis of 90 experiments on the anomalous anticipation of random future events

Published: October 2015

In 2011, one of the authors (DJB) published a report of nine experiments in theJournal of Personality and Social Psychologypurporting to demonstrate that an individual’s cognitive and affective responses can be influenced by randomly selected stimulus events that do not occur until after his or her responses have already been made and recorded, a generalized variant of the phenomenon traditionally denoted by the termprecognition. To encourage replications, all materials needed to conduct them were made available on request. We here report a meta-analysis of 90 experiments from 33 laboratories in 14 countries which yielded an overall effect greater than 6 sigma,z= 6.40,p= 1.2 × 10-10 with an effect size (Hedges’g) of 0.09. A Bayesian analysis yielded a Bayes Factor of 1.4 × 109, greatly exceeding the criterion value of 100 for “decisive evidence” in support of the experimental hypothesis. When DJB’s original experiments are excluded, the combined effect size for replications by independent investigators is 0.06,z= 4.16,p= 1.1 × 10-5, and the BF value is 3,853, again exceeding the criterion for “decisive evidence.” The number of potentially unretrieved experiments required to reduce the overall effect size of the complete database to a trivial value of 0.01 is 544, and seven of eight additional statistical tests support the conclusion that the database is not significantly compromised by either selection bias or by “p-hacking”—the selective suppression of findings or analyses that failed to yield statistical significance.P-curve analysis, a recently introduced statistical technique, estimates the true effect size of our database to be 0.20, virtually identical to the effect size of DJB’s original experiments (0.22) and the closely related “presentiment” experiments (0.21). We discuss the controversial status of precognition and other anomalous effects collectively known aspsi.

Notes on a New Kind of Art
Authors: Moura Leonel 
Published: October 2015

I started working with robots applied to art around the turn of the century. Aiming at the most possible autonomy of the process, they were the next logical step after experimenting with algorithms confined to the computer environment. I was never interested in “digital art”. The first experiences, with an ant algorithm running on a computer connected to a robotic arm [fig. 1], showed the potential for a machine to create its own drawings and paintings as a kind of artificial creativity. The claim that these works represent a new kind of art, the art of machines, may be controversial in the context of the mainstream art world. But, actually, it is inscribed in the global evolution of robotics and artificial intelligence towards a greater autonomy of machines. Art announces what is about to arrive.

Ele Canta o Corpo Elétrico: Câmara Neuronal como Performance Pós-humanista e Pós-digital
Authors: Bettencourt Sandra 
Published: October 2015

Neste artigo pretendo relacionar a performance multimodal e multimédia Câmara Neuronal (2012) com noções como mediação em performances ao vivo, pós-humanismo e pós-digital. O estabelecimento destas relações, informado por paradigmas da cultura digital (bases de dados e arquivos digitais), sugere que o conceito de mediação no âmbito de Câmara Neuronal deve ser, em primeiro lugar, entendido como “intermediação” (Hayles, 2008). Este conceito revela-se pertinente na reflexão acerca dos fluxos que operam e atravessam toda a performance: Câmara Neuronal desenvolve-se através de processos de retroação entre subjetividades computacionais e humanas, com base num modelo de distribuição dos processos cognitivos entre entidades biológicas e tecnológicas.

Tacto/Contacto: Processos de Experienciação Háptica no Corpo Cíbrido
Authors: Marques Diogo 
Published: October 2015

Com o presente artigo proponho-me reavaliar a utilização do adjectivo “háptico” na sua relação com a intensificação da procura de tangibilidade entre ser humano e máquina, nomeadamente através de experiências multissensoriais possibilitadas por processos de realidade/virtualidade misturada. Partindo de uma tradição haptológica de linhas filosóficas, que tem oscilado entre “ocularcêntrica” e “tactilocêntrica”, o artigo explora ainda as noções de toque, de gesto e de contacto, nas suas mais variadas acepções, utilizando-se esta última para explorar a ideia de corpo cíbrido em processos de experienciação háptica com base na Interface Humano-Máquina (IHM).

Bens Comuns: Uma Análise Linguística e Terminológica
Authors: Vieira Miguel Said 
Published: October 2015

A ampliação das práticas de compartilhamento de artefatos culturais possibilitada pela digitalização e pelas redes tem levado pesquisadores a aplicar a noção de commons (ou “bens comuns”) ao domínio dos bens intelectuais — em casos como o software livre, a Wikipédia e a publicação científica em acesso aberto, por exemplo. Este artigo aborda questões linguísticas e terminológicas que envolvem esse conceito e suas traduções (em particular para o português): analisa algumas confusões frequentes em relação ao conceito, como a mistura das acepções jurídicas, econômicas e teológicas da expressão “bem comum”; apresenta diversas expressões usadas para nomeá-lo em outras línguas; e discute os méritos e desvantagens de algumas das opções existentes em português — principalmente da opção “bens comuns”.

La Epifanía de Dioniso: Una Interpretación del Fragmento 357 PMG de Anacreonte a partir de la Consideración de sus Ediciones Modernas
Authors: Larrosa Marina 
Published: October 2015

En el presente artículo realizamos una interpretación de un famoso poema del poeta griego Anacreonte (fr. 357 PMG) teniendo en cuenta su peculiar historia textual. Planteamos que el poema, una plegaria al dios Dioniso, presenta rasgos que lo aproximan al género del enigma. Pero más allá de esta hipótesis, nos interesa ofrecer esta lectura como un ejemplo de cómo el conocimiento de las distintas ediciones de un texto puede arrojar luz sobre algunos aspectos poéticos que, caso contrario, podrían permanecer velados, y cómo puede asimismo estimular la creatividad en la propia tarea de interpretación.

Retraduzir a Obra para Traduzir o Rascunho: Tradução da Poética dos Rascunhos em Mon coeur mis à nu, de Charles Baudelaire
Authors: Mattos de Oliveira Thiago 
Published: October 2015

Mon coeur mis à nu é, tal qual o Livro do Desassossego, de Fernando Pessoa, ou Pensées, de Pascal, uma obra inacabada, formada por notas dispersas, provisórias, por vezes incompletas. Utilizando a noção de poética do rascunho, podemos considerar que Mon coeur mis à nu constitui-se na e pela incompletude: o provisório e o inacabado são constitutivos dessa poética. Busca-se, a partir daí, discutir e elaborar um modo de traduzir Mon coeur mis à nu tomando por base precisamente sua dimensão processual e incompleta, buscando-se evidenciar as múltiplas possibilidades de ordenação e estruturação do texto, além de igualmente evidenciar a própria materialidade dessa escritura, isto é, o manuscrito, rasuras etc. Para tanto, recorre-se ao hipertexto, estratégia tradutória e editorial que permitiria uma leitura rizomática e multicursal desse material, levando o leitor a se experimentar o assombramento e a “monstruosidade” dessa textualidade movente que comparece em Mon coeur mis à nu.

Published: October 2015

This research empirically re-tests the effects of auditor reputation, client’s financial condition, and potential intensive economy on artificial auditor rotation. The issue of audit quality is still interesting for the researchers to empirically. Auditors are demanded to execute their profession independently. To maintain their being independent, this profession is regulated in the Decree by the Minister of Finance No.17/PMK.01/2008 on public accountant service. It is mandatory for auditor rotation in that regulation and this is interesting to study more profoundly because in Indonesia this phenomenon of artificial rotation is found. Artificial auditor rotation indicates a condition in which, conceptually, there has been a change of the auditor but substantially the relationship between the auditor and the client is still going on. This research uses sample of companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2002-2011, by purposive sampling technique. The analysis of the research was done using logistic regression. The results of the research show that auditor reputation affects auditor rotation. Yet, company’s financial condition and potential incentive economy do not affect auditor rotation. This research is expected to deepen the concept of audit quality, whereas in practice it is expected to provide inputs for regulating auditor rotation. Auditors are expected to show real auditor rotation.

Published: October 2015

It has been the fact that the main objective of a business is to get profit as much as possible and so does the business of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Besides that, the business should be able to reduce unemployment in a country. This study tries to determine the benefits of accounting information for small and medium businesses. It is a qualitative and ethnography type. The qualitative data were derived from internal data sources, using three methods, namely observation, interviews, and documentation. The analytical techniques was used is to compare the theory with the results of interviews on the informants of five persons, in which they were the owner and managers of SMEs. Their average monthly income is 10 million rupiahs. The benefits of accounting information is a source of data to control the performance of SMEs and for consideration for decisions, in which accounting information is used for internal party SMEs and not for external parties SMEs. Barriers faced by SME owners and managers are on the knowledge and ability in applying accounting in SMEs, so these should be taken seriously into account in accounting so that they can understand about accounting.
The effect of IFRS implementation on earnings quality and corporate value (an empirical study on go public manufacturing companies)
Authors: Hudiwinarsih Gunasti 
Published: October 2015

IFRS Implementation on Earnings Quality and Corporate Value needs to be paid attention. This is due to the fact that in the era of globalization, the companies require an international accounting system that can be applied internationally in every country, or a necessary harmonization of international accounting standard in order to produce comparable financial information, ease in conducting competitive analysis and good relationship with customers, suppliers, investors, and creditors. The purpose of this research is to obtain empirical evidence on the effect of IFRS implementation on earnings quality and corporate value. The samples used are manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, during the period of one year before the implementationof IFRS and one year after the implementation of IFRS. The results ofthis study indicate that there are differences in earnings quality and corporate value, either after or before the implementation of IFRS. IFRS can provide quality reporting and better business environment.

On the Design of Educational Conditional Cash Transfer Programs and Their Impact on Non-Education Outcomes: The Case of Teenage Pregnancy
Authors: Cortés Darwin , Gallego Juan , Maldonado Darío 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
Using a simple model to characterize adolescents’ behavior, we show that the effect of educational Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programs on teenage pregnancy depends on the limits and conditions of the programs. The model shows that when benefits are conditional on school success or when the program has a binding duration limit, the CCT reduces teenage pregnancy rates. Using original data, we estimate this relation for two different CCT programs implemented in Bogotá, Colombia. The two programs differ in that only one of them conditions benefit renewal on school success. The empirical results are consistent with the predictions of the model. Only the program that conditions renewal of the transfer, reduces average teenage pregnancy rates. We also find that, also consistent with our model, the other program reduces teenage pregnancy rates only for those girls for which the duration limit is binding.
