The study has shown that the Sasi Laut has benefits that can be used as a basis for building local level management institutions.Fisheries, Co-management, Resource management, Indonesia,

Remembering the Dead: post-mortem guild membership in late medieval England

As in many areas of pre-Reformation devotion, the dead were a conspicuous presence in English religious guilds of all sizes. Members joined in the expectation that the guild would say prayers and perform masses for their souls after death, and previous members and benefactors would be commemorated with regularity. This article, however, investigates a new avenue of the fraternal relationship with the dead: the practice of enrolling people after their death. Doing so shifts the paradigm of our understanding of the multi-dimensional functions of pre-Reformation society, commemoration, and guilds, privileging the experiences of the dead and living equally while highlighting the interplay of the spiritual and socio-economic. Taking the extensive membership records of England’s ‘great’ guilds as its basis, it is revealed that post-mortem enrolment was a practice both common and widespread, and questions of practicalities and motivations are addressed. As such, the richness of commemoration in late medieval society is demonstrated, and the importance of post-mortem membership brought to the fore

Impaired Insulin Profiles Following a Single Night of Sleep Restriction: The Impact of Acute Sprint Interval Exercise

Experimental sleep restriction (SR) has demonstrated reduced insulin sensitivity in healthy individuals. Exercise is well-known to be beneficial for metabolic health. A single bout of exercise has the capacity to increase insulin sensitivity for up to 2 days. Therefore, the current study aimed to determine if sprint interval exercise could attenuate the impairment in insulin sensitivity after one night of SR in healthy males. Nineteen males were recruited for this randomized crossover study which consisted of four conditions—control, SR, control plus exercise, and sleep restriction plus exercise. Time in bed was 8 hr (2300–0700) in the control conditions and 4 hr (0300–0700) in the SR conditions. Conditions were separated by a 1-week entraining period. Participants slept at home, and compliance was assessed using wrist actigraphy. Following the night of experimental sleep, participants either conducted sprint interval exercise or rested for the equivalent duration. An oral glucose tolerance test was then conducted. Blood samples were obtained at regular intervals for measurement of glucose and insulin. Insulin concentrations were higher in SR than control (p = .022). Late-phase insulin area under the curve was significantly lower in sleep restriction plus exercise than SR (862 ± 589 and 1,267 ± 558; p = .004). Glucose area under the curve was not different between conditions (p = .207). These findings suggest that exercise improves the late postprandial response following a single night of SR

Una sistematización comunicacional de participación socio-educativa en Plan FinEs 2 de Rauch

Al objeto de estudio lo construyo desde el campo de la Comunicación/Educación y se basa en la recolección de las experiencias de cara a la construcción de una sistematización participativa de la gestión e implementación del Plan FinEs 2 en el Distrito de Rauch, Provincia de Buenos Aires. Experiencias de participación que se enmarcan en el periodo 2012-2018. Con perspectiva hermeneútica sobre el rol del/a investigador/a en comunicación social y, lecturas y articulación de obras anteriores de distintos trabajos realizados por colegas de nuestra Facultad (Mañez, 2015; Martínez, 2016; Artiguenave, 2019) se logra mostrar los rasgos particulares de una comunidad donde a través del Plan FinEs las personas ejercen nuevamente el derecho a la educación pública haciendo del proceso un momento de transformación social. Las técnicas que se utilizaron fueron la entrevista etnográfica para la recolección de los datos, con el fin de producir una reflexión de la práctica social de experiencia comunicacional.Facultad de Periodismo y Comunicación Socia

IceDust: Incremental and Eventual Computation of Derived Values in Persistent Object Graphs

Derived values are values calculated from base values. They can be expressed in object-oriented languages by means of getters calculating the derived value, and in relational or logic databases by means of (materialized) views. However, switching to a different calculation strategy (for example caching) in object-oriented programming requires invasive code changes, and the databases limit expressiveness by disallowing recursive aggregation. In this paper, we present IceDust, a data modeling language for expressing derived attribute values without committing to a calculation strategy. IceDust provides three strategies for calculating derived values in persistent object graphs: Calculate-on-Read, Calculate-on-Write, and Calculate-Eventually. We have developed a path-based abstract interpretation that provides static dependency analysis to generate code for these strategies. Benchmarks show that different strategies perform better in different scenarios. In addition we have conducted a case study that suggests that derived value calculations of systems used in practice can be expressed in IceDust

Porting a visualization package from IRIX to NT : what will I get, what will I pay?

We discuss our experiences in porting a moderately large scientific visualization environment from IRIX to NT~4.0. Two porting strategies have been taken: a port via a POSIX emulation layer and a native NT port. POSIX compliant code can be ported to NT with relatively little effort if the code adheres to general accepted programming principles, such as modularity and encapsulation. The performance of a modern 3D Wintel machine is quite satisfactory for a variety of scientific desktop tasks. We have compared the performance of a 2 CPU Dell OptiPlex with FireGL 4000 graphics option to various SGI desktop workstations

Quantitative Super-Resolution Microscopy

Super-Resolution Microscopy is an optical fluorescence technique. In this thesis we focus on single molecule super-resolution, where the position of single molecules is determined. Typically these molecules can be localized with a 10 to 30nm precision. This technique is applied in four different studies. To determine the spatial distribution of Ras-protein in live cells, Ripley's analysis is used on localization data to quantify size an diffusion parameters of nanodomains. Particle image correlation spectroscopy (PICS) is a second order spatial distribution analysis to determine diffusion properties of single molecule populations. A mathematical framework to correct the data when applied on 3D diffusion is presented in the second chapter. In the fourth chapter the uptake of alpha-synuclein aggregates by the cells is observed using super-resolution microscopy. Their partial degradation was followed and showed the importance of the lysosome-dependent mechanism for protecting cells from exposure to potentially toxic a-synuclein. In the fifth chapter we correlate the number of vinculin proteins in a focal adhesion protein complex, to the local force generated by the cell via this complex. A method was developed to determine the local stoichiometry of molecules by their correlated distances as obtained from SMLM. Biological and Soft Matter Physic
