Abstract:
Contact inhibition of locomotion (CIL) is the process whereby cells collide, cease migrating in the direction of the collision, and repolarize their migration machinery away from the collision. Quantitative analysis of CIL has remained elusive because cell-to-cell collisions are infrequent in traditional cell culture. Moreover, whereas CIL predicts mutual cell repulsion and ‘scattering’ of cells, the same cells in vivo are observed to undergo CIL at some developmental times and collective cell migration at others. It remains unclear whether CIL is simply absent during collective cell migration, or if the two processes coexist and are perhaps even related. Here, we used micropatterned stripes of extracellular matrix to restrict cell migration to linear paths such that cells polarized in one of two directions and collisions between cells occurred frequently and consistently, permitting quantitative and unbiased analysis of CIL. Observing repolarization events in different contexts, including head-to-head collision, head-to-tail collision, collision with an inert barrier, or no collision, and describing polarization as a two-state transition indicated that CIL occurs probabilistically, and most strongly upon head-to-head collisions. In addition to strong CIL, we also observed ‘trains’ of cells moving collectively with high persistence that appeared to emerge from single cells. To reconcile these seemingly conflicting observations of CIL and collective cell migration, we constructed an agent-based model to simulate our experiments. Our model quantitatively predicted the emergence of collective migration, and demonstrated the sensitivity of such emergence to the probability of CIL. Thus CIL and collective migration can coexist, and in fact a shift in CIL probabilities may underlie transitions between solitary cell migration and collective cell migration. Taken together, our data demonstrate the emergence of persistently polarized, collective cell movement arising from CIL between colliding cells.

Intercultural dialogue can be an exchange of cultural subjects, activity kinds and an exchange of consciousness images. New foreign culture activity is understood by means of the subject image and activity of one’s own culture. Dialogue of the cultures proceeds only in the mind of con-crete culture carrier. Collision with a new culture during intercultural communications makes the person to study his own culture more deeply and promotes its better understanding.

Abstract:
The culture of science is deeply influenced and conditioned by the socio-political realities of both time and locale. Pre-colonial India, for example, was no tabula rasa. It had a vigorous tradition in at least the realms of mathematics, astronomy and medicine. But gradual colonization made a big dent. It brought forth a massive cultural collision which influenced profoundly the cognitive and material existence of both the colonizer and the colonized.

Abstract:
The Silk Road is a product of the mutual exchange of material culture and spiritual culture among ancient China and other countries, regions, and nations. It is the result of the contact and collision between Eastern and Western civilizations. Historically, the Silk Road served as a bridge of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, closely linking ancient Chinese culture with the cultures of Central Asia, West Asia, and even ancient Siberian. In various areas along the Silk Road, all kinds of painted pottery art were integrated and developed.

Abstract:
Modern Spanish is a multi-ethnic, complex structured, hierarchical formation ofnan abstract nature that serves its communicative, cognitive, pragmatic and other needs, diverse peoples, ethnos and social groups in contemporary Spanish -speaking countries located on different continents. This language has gone the difficult way of asserting its identity and has felt the ambiguous effect of collision with other linguistic cultures in the process of socio-political, economic and cultural changes. We consider that the language is the main consolidating force of society, it participates in the complex relationships in the triad society-language-culture, and simultaneously plays a key role in social transformations and preserving national and cultural identity. A culture that relies on the language system and cannot exist without it, is a decisive factor in changes in social practices. Therefore, we regard the language as a kind of a framework for culture, and in its complex, both the language and the culture, form an indivisible phenomenon such as the linguoculture, which is inherent in a particular people, ethnicity, society. Within the limits of the theory of linguistic collision, the causes of the original design of the Iberian-Roman linguistic culture can be considered as the intrinsic processes, which were set in the crisis (in the Vth century) and the fall (in the VIth cenury) of the Roman Empire, in the collapse of the Roman linguistic culture. The effect of the contact with German and Arabic linguistic cultures were manifested in complete abandoning of German linguoculture or partial rejection of Arabic linguoculture and in the Spaniards’ awareness of their own national linguistic and cultural identity.

Abstract:
We describe a direct way of measuring contact inhibition of locomotion by analysing the changes in motion of pairs of colliding cells. This allows values to be assigned to each type of cell in mixed collisions and will enable certain hypotheses about the relationship between contact inhibition and invasion in culture to be tested critically. We find that fibrosarcoma (FS9) cells, on colliding with chick heart fibroblasts, show a reversed contact-inhibition response that we call contact promotion of locomotion. We also describe a measure of the lateral changes in motion that result from collisions between cells and show that this is dependent on the type of colliding cell but, unlike contact inhibition, it does not appear to be dependent on the type of cell with which it collides for the types studied here. Finally, we analyse how the total response is dependent on the dispositions and motions of the cells before collision and we find that FS9 cells, on colliding with fibroblasts, tend to turn towards the point of initial marginal contact. We conclude that the FS9 cells show a pronounced response on colliding with the fibroblasts, which is in contrast to the subjective impression that the FS9 cells do not respond much. These findings support the thesis of Abercrombie and colleagues, that the infiltration of a population of normal cells by a population of invasive cells in culture is dependent on the nature of the response of each cell type to collision with the other and that the invasive cells fail to show contact inhibition in these heterotypic collisions; but the findings further suggest that these invasive cells show an active invasionary response as opposed to merely failing to show contact inhibition.

Mestrado em Ciências Empresariais
Os processos de fusão e aquisição são situações complexas que impõem fortes desafios aos gestores responsáveis pela sua condução. Um dos desafios mais importantes prende-se com a capacidade de diagnosticar e gerir os conflitos de natureza cultural que emergem do processo de mudança. O confronto das culturas organizacionais e uma fraca integração dos recursos humanos na nova empresa é uma das grandes causas de fracasso nas fusões e aquisições. Este trabalho aborda este tema dando particular atenção à gestão dos conflitos de natureza cultural. Para além da reflexão bibliográfica que conduziu à elaboração do quadro teórico, foi estudada uma empresa que participou recentemente num processo de Fusão ou Aquisição. No decurso deste trabalho constatou-se que a cultura das empresas estudadas era diferente, o que originou conflitos. As duas empresas tinham formas de trabalhar muito diferentes e o próprio ambiente de trabalho era mais informal numa empresa do que na outra. Um dos factores que permitiu o sucesso do processo de fusão foi o seu planeamento, o que incluiu o diagnóstico às culturas das organizações envolvidas e a promoção do processo de integração dos seus colaboradores
The merger and acquisition processes are complex procedures which represent a challenge for the managers who are responsible for their implementation. One of the most important challenges is the ability to diagnose and manage the cultural conflicts which emerge from the change process. The collision of organizational cultures and a weak integration of human resources in the new company is one of the biggest causes of failure in mergers and acquisitions. The purpose of this study is to analyze this issue, with particular attention to the management of conflicts of cultural nature. In support to the theoretical framework, an empirical research was carried out based on analysis of a company that has been recently envolved in a merger and acquisition process. During this study it emerged that the culture of the companies in question was different, resulting in some conflict. The two companies had different ways of working and the environment itself was more informal in one of the companies than in the other. One of the factors that enabled the success of the merger was its planning, which included the diagnosis of the cultures of the organizations and the promotion of integrating employees.

Abstract:

When companies go trough a merger or an acquisition all involved parties within the organisations becomes affected. These changes can affect the company in many areas which could create tensions and anxiety among employees which could create strong negative forces at the end and prevent the new organisation to function at its best. In service companies this could be of great importance to overcome since they often are dependent on functional organisations to help them create a wanted quality. This study will address this problem and will do so in a case study performed on a transportations company which have gone trough a number of mergers. Due to these mergers, the company has also grown in both numbers of employees and in financial conditions.

The applied thesis statement is: “How should a small expanding company manage the integration of acquired companies and at the same time maintain a sought identity within the organisation, in order to reach their main strategic objectives? “. The ambition is to be able to understand how the studied company has developed and also to analyse its organisational transition. Furthermore we also want to create proposals for organisations that are facing future organisational transitions, based from our findings in this study.

This study has been conducted with a hermeneutic scientific ideal and an abductive approach. The empirical collection was done inside the studied organisation in a qualitative manner. We conducted nine interviews, one with the manager (co-owner) and the other eight with employees inside the company. We wanted to be able to see both parties’ sides of the mergers. Therefore the interviews where conducted at two separate offices in different cities.

The theoretical framework consists of a number of theoretical areas, who together creates a holistic view over the entire research area. The theoretical parts consist of: Organisation, network, mergers, acquisitions, family firms, corporate culture, identity, social identity, service quality and Human Resources.

Our main conclusion is of the studied company shows that the biggest problem which the organisation faces today is the lack of communication between the manager and the employees. Although we claim that the merger has played a mayor impact on the company in many areas. Some of the main difficulties which we identified were the fact that the merger never was discussed thoroughly between the management and the employees. We also claim that the company when divided between the two offices have created a cultural gap between the wanted culture and the actual culture. We argue that the quality thinking permeates trough the entire organisation and all of the respondents have described the importance of achieving a high quality service within the organisation.

Abstract:
The paper focuses on the collision of high and popular culture in Robert Coover’s collection of short stories “Pricksongs and Descants”. The methods chosen for the study are close reading and textual analysis by interpreting every short story, defining its genre, noticing the features of high and popular culture and ways of presenting them, grasping the hot point where high and popular cultures collide, analyzing the aim and message of the collision. The paper emphasizes the blend of high-popular culture collision and discloses it with the help of postmodernism, high and popular culture instances, intertextuality, metafiction and genres transformation techniques through the themes of sexuality, violence and television. The research has revealed the message of the author hidden in the collision of high and low culture to satirize the image of 1960s America society and help the readers better understand the present reality.
Šio darbo tikslas yra atskleisti aukštosios ir populiariosios kultūrų sankirtą amerikiečių rašytojo Roberto Coover’io apsakymų rinkinyje ,,Raudos ir dainos” (1969) remiantis postmodernizmo literatūros ypatumais: naujų formų ieškojimu, ,,žaidimu” su jomis, populiariosios kultūros pabrėžimu, aukštosios ir žemosios kultūrų suliejimu, ironija, juoduoju jumoru, absurdo fantazija. Aptariami pagrindiniai postmodernistinės visuomenės bruožai – žmonių susvetimėjimas, įsiliejimas į masės visuomenę, vertybių praradimas, grožio kultas ir seksualumo garbinimas, dieviškųjų absoliutų atmetimas, smurto ir nepagarbaus elgesio protrūkiai, keiksmažodžiais užteršta žmonių kalba. Šie bruožai analizuojami apsakymų rinkinyje “Raudos ir dainos”, nes jų pagalba ir yra atskleidžiama anksčiau minėtųjų kultūrų sankirta. Prie šios sankirtos atskleidimo prisideda ir intertekstualumo, metafikcijos ir žanrų (pasakų, religinių istorijų, įprastų, gerai žinomų kasdienių įvykių) transformavimo pavyzdžiai. Pagrindiniai darbo metodai yra nuodugnus skaitymas, kiekvieno apsakymo analizavimas ir interpretavimas, bandant apibrėžti jo žanrą, pastebint aukštosios ir populiariosios kultūrų atvejus ir jų pateikimo būdus, užčiuopiant šių dviejų kultūrų susikirtimo tašką ir analizuojant toje sankirtoje paslėptą autoriaus mintį. Darbe atskleidžiama pagrindinė apsakymų rinkinio mintis – nepasitenkinimas šiuolaikine Amerikos visuomene. Remiantis apsakymų rinkinio analize, bandoma parodyti, jog visuomenė yra nykimo...

Abstract:
Background Expatriate failure can be a devastating consequence for both an enterprise and the expatriate himself. An expatriate is a person who resides outside his native country for working purposes. Moving to a foreign country implies many challenges and problems. One of the challenges is the new culture. Culture shock and problems with the acculturation process can jeopardize the international assignment: adaptation problem for expatriates is one of the reasons for expatriate failure. Nevertheless, culture shocks can be provided against by preparing the expatriate for the new culture. Knowledge about the other culture will increase the expatriate’s cultural competence, and hence facilitate the adaptation process, which will provide against expatriate failure. Purpose The thrust of this Bachelor Thesis was to analyze which important cultural differences a Swedish expatriate can encounter in Spain on an international assignment. The aim was to establish a check-list for future Swedish expatriates who are going to Spain, in order increase their cultural competence. We approached the cultural differences from a Swedish expatriate’s point of view. Methodology A qualitative study was conducted. The empirical data was collected through five semi-structured interviews with Swedish expatriates that are, or have been, working in Spain. All the interviewees work at companies who operate within the high-tech business trade. A frame of reference was elaborated in order to interpret and analyze the results obtained from the empirical data. Conclusions We found relevant cultural differences for Swedish expatriates going to Spain within four cultural aspects. Organization: organizations in Spain are more hierarchical and the manager more authoritarian compared to Sweden. The purpose of meetings is to inform or make decisions, rather than discuss and decide by consensus. Long working days are normal, and efficiency is not highly prioritized. Small talk before meetings is used more extensively than in Sweden. Time: Spaniards perceive time as fluid, which leads to less rigid agendas and schedules. Punctuality is a minor issue since time is approximate. Communication: The culture is expressive. Spaniards are emotional in their way of communicating, which is classified as an expressive culture. Moreover, frequent interruptions are seen as commitment to, and engagement in, the conversation. Indirect language is preferred over the direct, the context is more important than the words used. Social life: Spaniards prefer to meet up outside. The Spaniard’s private zone is bigger and includes more persons, compared to the Swede’s. Furthermore, respect is only shown people the Spaniard knows and cares about.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the new theatrical form of cyberformance (live performance by remote players using internet technologies) and contextualises it within the broader fields of networked performance, digital performance and theatre. Poststructuralist theories that contest the binary distinction between reality and representation provide the analytical foundation for the thesis. A critical reflexive methodological approach is undertaken in order to highlight three themes. First, the essential qualities and criteria of cyberformance are identified, and illustrated with examples from the early 1990s to the present day. Second, two cyberformance groups – the Plaintext Players and Avatar Body Collision – and UpStage, a purpose-built application for cyberformance, are examined in more detailed case studies. Third, the specifics of the cyberformance audience are explored and commonalities are identified between theatre and online culture. In conclusion, this thesis suggests that theatre and the internet have much to offer each other in this current global state of transition, and that cyberformance offers one means by which to facilitate the incorporation of new technologies into our lives.

Abstract:
In the 1950s and 1960s, the government of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador in collaboration with Roman Catholic missionaries coerced the Innu, until this time migratory hunter-gatherers in the Labrador-Quebec peninsula, to adopt a sedentary village existence. The transition was difficult and traumatic. One of the principal means used to induce the Innu to accept these drastic changes to their way of life was schooling based on an imposed formal, European model of education and a policy of assimilation. The implicit attack on their connection to their land and related practices combined with diminution of their native language, suppression of religious beliefs and confiscation of land for development have led to a number of devastating social and psychological problems for the Innu and the process of Innu knowledge transmission and learning has been profoundly affected. On 1st July 2009 the federal government and Labrador School Board granted the Innu Nation devolved control of existing educational programmes; an achievement the Innu had been working towards for over thirty years. The main objectives of the research are to interpret the meaning of this transfer of education to Innu and and to present a narrative of the relationship (or rather 'cultural collision') between the Innu community of Sheshatshiu, Labrador and the colonial Canadian state, society and forms of knowledge on the path to devolution. It was of particular interest to ascertain how much value is placed on transmission of non-Innu and Innu knowledge, whether what is learned inside or outside school is enough to succeed in either society and to understand aspirations for the future of Innu education. The nature of the research requires a detailed and rich understanding of the personal histories of a diverse group of Innu and non-Innu respondents and how this manifests itself in their attitudes towards education.

Abstract:
In this paper, I consider how Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers (1959) and Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game (1985) allegorically treat U.S. Cold War fears of invasion by the Soviet Union. Given the texts' historical relationship to the Vietnam War and their use of very similar science fiction tropes (namely, invasion by communistic, insect-like aliens), I argue that Orson Scott Card reimagines the binary Cold War conflict, softening the rhetoric of Starship Troopers and allowing for a more qualified understanding of the relationship between the U.S.S.R. and the U.S. Through this analysis, I also consider how science fiction is a useful tool of cultural criticism in that it posits future worlds so as to reflect contemporary social concerns.

Full text
Abstract:

Although the under education of Latino males has not been a priority to many, the high dropout rate of minority males can no longer be ignored. When school principals engage in the practice of cultural collision and collusion, it has an adverse impact on the academic achievement of Latino males and on their decision to drop out of high school. The purpose of this study is to explore the perception of school principals of Latino males, disciplinary policies, and how school principals are addressing the dropout rate of Latino males in their schools; it can aid school policy makers, educational advocates, educators, and parents in better understanding why so many Latino males dropout of school every day. Interviews were conducted on six urban school principals from New York City public schools. Analysis of the interview responses showed that language, poverty, family engagement, and gang affiliations are parts of the Latino culture that could impede their academic success. Three major themes were found: (a) the culture of Latino males has an impact on the dropout rate; (b) suspension has an impact on the dropout rate, is ineffective in preventing unwanted behavior, and school principals do not have any specific programs to combat suspension; and (c) school principals do not have any specific programs to combat the dropout rate in their respective schools. The findings of this study suggest that a future study should be conducted on designing public schools that promotes the unique academic needs of Latino males in urban settings.

Abstract:
Themes from the previous two chapters are interwoven for a trans-Atlantic, comparative perspective on the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries in Mexico and Spain on the eve of encounter. The emphasis is primarily on their most consequential kingdoms: the Aztec Triple Alliance and the Crown of Castile-León. Major themes of comparison include ethnic affiliation and national mythos, patterns of urbanism and political and economic organization, military and transportation technologies, and worldview framed through religion and philosophy. Previous comparative histories of the two culture areas have emphasized technological differences, particularly with regard to naval and military capabilities. These differences certainly existed, but such accounts often ignore the role of cultural and ideological variables, such as the role of micro-patriotism within Mesoamerican polities of the region and differences in battlefield ethos and the religious framing of warfare between Aztecs and Spaniards. These were critical to how the Spanish-led invasion of Mesoamerica unfolded. Likewise, similarities in certain cultural variables between the two regions enabled the post-conquest creation of New Spain to be a negotiated process that saw the birth of hybrid and syncretic beliefs and material culture.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper focuses on the safety aspect of passenger trains approaching a terminal station with a bumper block/post. As evidenced by the recent collision of a commuter train at Hoboken terminal on September 29, 2016, the consequences of a collision with a bumper post could be catastrophic, however, railroads can take preventative measures to reduce the element of risk. Case studies obtained from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) involving similar bumper block accidents are analyzed to identify any potential common denominator. The objective of this paper is to comprehensively present the various mitigation techniques that railroads can adopt to safeguard their systems against these types of accidents. Although some of the mitigation techniques presented in the paper may already be known in the industry generically, their application to specifically mitigating the hazard of bumper collisions is a novel attempt to focus systematically on this topic. Examples of mitigation techniques discussed here in include speed restricting devices, driver alerted features, bumper blocks with more impact tolerance, and organizational safety culture. The effect of newer technologies such as PTC (in USA only) and CBTC towards mitigating this hazard as well as the unique constraints presented at terminal stations is also assessed.

Abstract:
Abstract A 3 year, 23 well project drilled by a major operator in Nigeria was challenged to develop methodologies to optimize every aspect of drilling for a development project to reduce total project time and costs. The team of operator and service company personnel created an approach that systematically examined and challenged the efficiency of all tasks. They then developed and implemented innovative methods to save time by both analyzing repetitive, lengthy, or troublesome operations and challenging many status quo rig activities. The culture of continually challenging the causes of invisible lost time (ILT) that developed resulted in the creation of several critical performance improvement methodologies each of which are explained in detail. The multiple focus areas where process improvements were made included hole cleaning efficiencies, optimizing the ROP to deliver shortest well time from drilling out the casing shoe to landing the next casing, anti-collision practices to drill out conductors with a separation factor of less than 1.0, BHA design efficiencies for equipment standardization and faster make up and break down times, managing differential sticking risks, improving survey times, and developing best practices to side-track with a point-the-bit Rotary steerable system. Exact times were tracked to establish the required baselines and drilling optimization services were introduced to modify the drilling practices to reach the technical limit. The technical limit for ROP was achieved and best practices developed in this environment for effective hole cleaning, ease of tripping, and improved tripping speeds of the BHA at the end of every run saved 38.25 days over 15 wells. Average ROP's were improved by 48% in the 17 ½" section and 57% in the 12 ¼" section. The new anti-collision methodology saved 5 hours per well. BHA assembly and tool download efficiencies saved 11.47 days. Wellbore strengthening techniques prevented seepage losses and reduced stuck pipe events. Surveying improvements saved 11.78 days and new sidetracking practices saved 5 hours per sidetrack. Tasks that could be done in parallel to the critical path were identified and tasks on the critical path were performed more efficiently. ILT elimination in drilling processes saved a total of 96 days of rig time over an established performance baseline during this 23 well project. The operator set two records for the fastest drilled and completed conventional offshore wells in Nigerian history.

The land acquisition and real estate development have caused rapid disappearance and decline of a large number of traditional villages, resulting in "urban villages" in China. They seem chaotic, but contain rich and colorful social life. The living environment is really harsh, but people always maintain close relationship with each other. They are different from neither the modern urban nor traditional villages, but they have their own unique vitality. Such heterogeneous space is always a symbol of historical change and cultural collision which, according to the French philosopher Michel Foucault, can be called Heterotopias. In order to study this heterotopic phenomenon, the triangular area of Guandongdian district in Beijing has been chosen as the object of this case study. With the in-depth investigation of interviews, observation, statistics and sketches, this paper is trying to interpret the characteristics of the heterotopic state of the urban village from three aspects of social form, urban morphology and architectural feature. Eventually, in order to keep the complexity and diversification of urban village, several strategies are put forward for reference to future transforming practice. References Foucault, M.

Abstract:
In the process of globalization, building on the particular spatial scenery of the waterfront, cities tend to refresh their strategies of development to adapt new trends of urban life with huge urban waterfront regeneration projects. These usually focus on a target of maximum marketing and construction of a new image-vision, which aims to represent the city in the global agenda. This aspect is depending on bigger changes in the urban context, the shift in government structures to entrepreneurial forms that involve externalization of state functions (Swyngedouw 2005; p. 1998). The rationale behind the phenomenon of waterfront regeneration and the global embracement of it is now “widely recognized if incompletely understood" (Hoyle 2001 pp. 297), as the relevant literature is based on case studies with focus on the examples of North American and European cities. The goal is to contribute to the more general, theoretical contention of urban waterfront regeneration in developing countries in understanding their dimensions in terms of governance and planning. The research tackles urban waterfront regeneration in Istanbul, Turkey by studying the most recent initiative of urban waterfront regeneration along Halic /The Golden Horn, the Halic Shipyard Conservation Project. The theoretical framework that underpins this study is derived from the discourse on new forms of urban governance including private, public and civic actors (Paquet 2001) that influence planning processes and project outcomes. To evaluate the planning process from a comprehensive governance perspective, indicators include: the legal framework, decision-making process, actors and their relations (Nuissl and Heinrichs 2010) and as normative the perspective of an inclusive planning approach (Healey 1997, 2006) helps to evaluate the planning process of the project. As urban waterfront regeneration literature is mostly based upon case study approaches, a critical overview of international examples is conducted. Both primary and secondary data is collected through: literature review, review of laws, review of official documents and land-use plans, an internship, 31 interviews, 91 questionnaires, participatory observation, a workshops, observation and photographs. The aim is to assess to which extend the top-down governance forms, but also bottom-up grass root empowerment influence the planning process and project outcomes, giving recommendations for an inclusive planning approach. The second aim is to evaluate the urban waterfront regeneration project studying its impact on the neighboring community. Bedrettin Neighborhood is chosen for analysis and its position in the planning process along with its needs are exposed. The thesis argues the modes in which along with clear targets for the improvement of the quality of life for the neighboring community, the urban waterfront regeneration project, Halic Shipyard Conservation Project, will be able to escape the current deadlocks and collisions between government, investors, resistance and local community and might have a chance to actually set an urgently needed precedent of a new planning culture in Istanbul.

Khomenko, Tetiana. TIME AND SPACE OF HISTORICAL PARALLELS OF EUGEN SVERSTIUK’S JOURNALISM. Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, March 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.30970/vjo.2021.50.11095.

Full text
Abstract:
The article is dedicated to the investigation of time-space measurements of journalistic works of Eugen Sverstiuk, a well-known Ukrainian journalist. In particular, the time-space continuum of his works is being discussed, which is characterized as comprehensive, continuous, filled with archetypical images which metaphorize the text, but at the same time structure it, and are beaded on the axis of time and documentarily located in the space. The logics of images initiated in the text is exaggerated by constant dwelling of the author in the time-space dimensions of the epoque, of which he was a contemporary, as well as precise knowledge of World and Ukrainian history and culture. Historical parallelism of journalism of E. Sverstiuk possesses double potential. On the one hand, the author provides arguments for confirmation of his own opinion, and on the other, he shows us historical collisions in the new aspect, which helps consider the past, better understand the present, and think of the future. Pages of his works is space for author’s considerations, which logics impresses by free transgression of the author in the time, and his ability to grasp the most essential, although sometimes precedent, sometimes sudden and forgotten, or even unknown historical facts in order to force them to resonate in the new historical realities, first of all to indicate the importance of national and the need for assigning to it more significance. Using retrospectives, E. Sverstiuk encourages us to return to the national sources and to seek in ourselves the reflections of nationality in order to return historical truth to our audience. This is what, according to E. Sverstiuk, was believed to be one of the most necessary conditions of existence to the independent state. Time-space continuum of E. Sverstiuk’s journalism is reproduction of comprehensive history as continuous process of the development of humanity, and of formation of comprehensive, total, and so to say epic reading and understanding of these processes via accentuation of reader’s attention on key events, phenomena, and facts.

Peitz, David, and Naomi Reibold. White-tailed deer monitoring at Arkansas Post National Memorial, Arkansas: 2005–2020 trend report. Edited by Tani Hubbard. National Park Service, April 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.36967/nrr-2285087.

Full text
Abstract:
From 16 years (2005–2020) of monitoring trends in white-tailed deer within a defined survey area of Arkansas Post National Memorial, we have been able to demonstrate both population declines and recoveries. The adjusted count of deer had a seven-fold increase between 2007 and 2011 following a two-year decline and a three-fold increase between 2017 and 2019 following a six-year decline. Overall, the deer population has declined slightly, averaging a 0.5% reduction in herd size annually. The number of deer in the survey area ranged from 16.77 ± 21.26 (mean + 95% CI) individuals/km2 in 2007 to 118.95 ± 39.03 individuals/km2 in 2011. The amount of visible area surveyed each year varied between 0.25 and 0.47 km2 (coefficient of variation = 16.47%). If the white-tailed deer population becomes too large, this poses several problems for Arkansas Post National Memorial. First, it adds a level of complexity to implementing active natural resource management critical to preventing the cultural landscapes of Arkansas Post National Memorial from changing into something that has little resemblance to the historical character of the park. Deer deferentially browse native vegetation over exotic vegetation, thus promoting the spread of exotic species, and the success of tree planting can be curtailed by heavy deer browsing. Second, controlling deer related disease, some of which can affect domestic livestock and human health in and around the park, becomes increasingly difficult when there are more deer. Third, as additional ancillary data suggests, the largely unreported and costly deer-vehicle collisions in and around Arkansas Post National Memorial have the potential to increase if the deer populations grow.

Full text
Abstract:
Channel Island National Park (CHIS), incorporating five islands off the coast of southern California (Anacapa Island, San Miguel Island, Santa Barbara Island, Santa Cruz Island, and Santa Rosa Island), has an outstanding paleontological record. The park has significant fossils dating from the Late Cretaceous to the Holocene, representing organisms of the sea, the land, and the air. Highlights include: the famous pygmy mammoths that inhabited the conjoined northern islands during the late Pleistocene; the best fossil avifauna of any National Park Service (NPS) unit; intertwined paleontological and cultural records extending into the latest Pleistocene, including Arlington Man, the oldest well-dated human known from North America; calichified “fossil forests”; records of Miocene desmostylians and sirenians, unusual sea mammals; abundant Pleistocene mollusks illustrating changes in sea level and ocean temperature; one of the most thoroughly studied records of microfossils in the NPS; and type specimens for 23 fossil taxa. Paleontological research on the islands of CHIS began in the second half of the 19th century. The first discovery of a mammoth specimen was reported in 1873. Research can be divided into four periods: 1) the few early reports from the 19th century; 2) a sustained burst of activity in the 1920s and 1930s; 3) a second burst from the 1950s into the 1970s; and 4) the modern period of activity, symbolically opened with the 1994 discovery of a nearly complete pygmy mammoth skeleton on Santa Rosa Island. The work associated with this paleontological resource inventory may be considered the beginning of a fifth period. Fossils were specifically mentioned in the 1938 proclamation establishing what was then Channel Islands National Monument, making CHIS one of 18 NPS areas for which paleontological resources are referenced in the enabling legislation. Each of the five islands of CHIS has distinct paleontological and geological records, each has some kind of fossil resources, and almost all of the sedimentary formations on the islands are fossiliferous within CHIS. Anacapa Island and Santa Barbara Island, the two smallest islands, are primarily composed of Miocene volcanic rocks interfingered with small quantities of sedimentary rock and covered with a veneer of Quaternary sediments. Santa Barbara stands apart from Anacapa because it was never part of Santarosae, the landmass that existed at times in the Pleistocene when sea level was low enough that the four northern islands were connected. San Miguel Island, Santa Cruz Island, and Santa Rosa Island have more complex geologic histories. Of these three islands, San Miguel Island has relatively simple geologic structure and few formations. Santa Cruz Island has the most varied geology of the islands, as well as the longest rock record exposed at the surface, beginning with Jurassic metamorphic and intrusive igneous rocks. The Channel Islands have been uplifted and faulted in a complex 20-million-year-long geologic episode tied to the collision of the North American and Pacific Places, the initiation of the San Andreas fault system, and the 90° clockwise rotation of the Transverse Ranges, of which the northern Channel Islands are the westernmost part. Widespread volcanic activity from about 19 to 14 million years ago is evidenced by the igneous rocks found on each island.
