Long-term variability of the cold subsurface water (CSW) in the Okhotsk Sea is analyzed on the base of all available oceanographic data collected in March through August of 1946-2015 (total 65,742 stations). The Integral Heat Content (IHC) is calculated for each station and average annual IHC anomalies of the cold subsurface water are determined by month and by 2-degree grid. The IHC anomaly series are analyzed using the EOF analysis. Cycles with period of approximately 30 years are revealed in the variations of the subsurface layer heat content. Thus, in the 1946-1950, its temperature decreased, but it grew since 2009-2010 to 2015. The warming of CSW was also observed in the 1951-1964 and 1978-1994, while the cooling was in the 1965-1977 and 1995-2008. Based on this criterion, the CSW thermal condition in certain years is classified as «extremely cold» in 2001, as «cold» in 1949, 1950, 1951, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1966, 1967, 1969, 1973, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1980, 1999, 2000, 2010, 2012, as «normal» in 1946, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955, 1957, 1961, 1962, 1965, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1975, 1979, 1982, 1983, 1985, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1993, 1995, 1996, 1998, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2014, as «warm» in 1948, 1956, 1964, 1968, 1974, 1981, 1984, 1987, 1991, 1992, 1994, 1997, 2015, and as «extremely warm» in 1963. Statistically significant correlation is found between changes of the CSW thermal conditions and long-term variations of atmosphere and ocean climate indices, as well as local patterns of the atmosphere-ice-ocean interaction in the Okhotsk Sea and adjacent onshore and offshore areas of Asia and the Pacific Ocean.

O objetivo deste artigo foi analisar o comportamento da variabilidade têmporo-espacial da pluviosidade na região de Unaí, noroeste do estado de Minas Gerais-Brasil. A metodologia consistiu no uso de dados pluviométricos de 100 estações da Agência Nacional de Águas (ANA) e 22 estações meteorológicas (INMET), correspondendo ao recorte temporal entre os anos de 1995/1996 e 2014/2015, empregados na determinação dos anos-padrão pela técnica do desvio padrão e mapeados pelo método dos polígonos de Thiessen. Os resultados possibilitaram identificar a espacialização dos padrões regionais de pluviosidade, caracterizados temporalmente como: Chuvoso (1996/1997, 2003/2004 e 2006/2007); Chuvoso/Tendente a Chuvoso (2010/2011); Habitual/Tendente a Chuvoso (2005/2006); Habitual (2001/2002, 2002/2003, 2008/2009 e 2009/2010); Seco/Tendente a Seco (1995/1996, 1997/1998, 2000/2001, 2007/2008 e 2013/2014); Seco (2014/2015); Misto (1998/1999, 1999/2000, 2004/2005, 2011/2012 e 2012/2013). A interpretação dos padrões regionais (mapas) e locais (estações pluviométricas no transecto) das chuvas proporcionou relacioná-los com os fatores de teleconexões do clima (ENOS/ODP) e extremos de pluviosidade.

W Zamościu, wraz z powołaniem do życia Oddziału Wydziału Rolniczego Uniwersytetu Przyrodniczego w Lublinie, rozpoczęto zbieranie materiałów dokumentujących warunki atmosferyczne mające wpływ na wielkość produkcji roślinnej. Początkowo był to „Biuletyn Agrometeorologiczny”, wydawany przez IMGW w Warszawie, w którym publikowano wyniki pomiarów ze stacji meteorologicznej położonej w Zamościu przy ul. Obronnej 1. Rozwój Oddziału Wydziału Rolniczego, powstanie Pracowni Agroklimatologii, a w dalszej kolejności Zakładu i wreszcie Katedry Ochrony i Kształtowania Środowiska przyczyniły się m.in. do założenia na terenie Gospodarstwa Doświadczalnego stacji meteorologicznej. Niniejsza praca prezentuje wyniki zweryfikowanych wartości temperatury powietrza, która była mierzona w Zamościu w okresie ostatnich 30 lat. W pracy scharakteryzowano zmienność średnich miesięcznych wartości temperatur powietrza ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem okresu wegetacyjnego (kwiecień–październik). Największe średnie miesięczne wartości temperatur powietrza notowano w lipcu – od 15,5°C w 1984 do 23,3°C w 2006 r., a najmniejsze w styczniu – od -12,8°C w 1987 do 3,1°C w 2007 r. W badanym okresie występowały odstępstwa od tej reguły. I tak w latach: 1982, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1990, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008 średnia miesięczna temperatura powietrza w lipcu była niższa niż w sierpniu, a temperatura w styczniu w latach: 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1991, 1993, 1994, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007 wyższa niż w lutym. W analizowanym 30-leciu obserwowano istotne wahania wartości temperatur powietrza z roku na rok, efektem czego są zmiany (zarówno pozytywne, jak i negatywne) mające wpływ na wielkość i jakość produkcji roślinnej.

Abstract. Total column ozone reduction in the Arctic is evaluated each winter since 1993/1994 by the transport method (3-D CTM passive ozone minus measurements). The cumulative loss from 1 December to the end of the season ranges from 5–10% during warm winters like 1998/1999, 2000/2001 and 2001/2002 up to 30%–32% during cold winters like 1994/1995 and 1995/1996. The 23% cumulative loss observed during the winter 2002/2003 is similar in amplitude to the 20–24% measured in 1996/1997 and 1999/2000 but the timing is different. It started unusually early in December after the occurrence of very low temperature at all stratospheric levels between 550 K and 435 K allowing PSC formation and thus chlorine activation. The early ozone loss of 2002/2003 is well captured by current 3-D CTM models.

Este artigo tem por objetivo expor a trajetória epistemológica da definição do conceito de politecnia como princípio pedagógico e explicar porque é o fundamento determinante da educação integral politécnica. Analisa a concepção marxiana de educação comparando as versões em língua francesa, inglesa, portuguesa e brasileira (MARX, 1976, 1982, 1983, 1996), bem como algumas das mais importantes obras brasileiras sobre o tema (SAVIANI, 1989, 2003, 2007; KUENZER, 1989, 2005; FRIGOTTO, 2002, 2012; SOARES, 2000, 2004; LOMBARDI, 2008; SANFELICE, 1991; NOGUEIRA, 1990; NOSELLA, 2004, 2007, 2009), passando por Manacorda (2010) para demonstrar a importância, mas, ao mesmo tempo, os limites do conceito de trabalho como princípio educativo. O resultado do estudo aponta para a necessidade de: a) atualizar a concepção marxiana de educação; b) complementar o trabalho como princípio educativo com a politecnia como princípio pedagógico; c) operacionalizar a prática pedagógica pela formulação da politecnia como princípio pedagógico; d) demonstrar a educação integral politécnica, da educação infantil à universidade, como alternativa às propostas pedagógicas de educação escolar estatal.

This bibliographic-documental investigation aims at building a map of the aspects regarding graduate (four-year college) studies that stood out in the academic production presented in the ANPEd (National Association for Post-graduate studies and Research in Education) meetings between the years 1996 and 2003. In order to do so, we have analysed 163 papers contained in the ANPEd historical CD-ROM which gathers documents up to 2001 and from the 2002 and 2003 annual meeting CD-ROMs, selecting those that deal with higher education and approach aspects of graduate studies. Special attention was given to aspects that refer to the relationship between teaching and research in this level of teaching. We set off from a bibliographic review that situates graduate studies into higher education and universities and analyses teaching and research functions as inserted in the history of higher education in Brazil and in the expectations for the XXI century. For the data analyses we based on studies of Brazilian authors that produced syntheses of the academic production in theses, dissertations and national periodicals on higher education and teachers training. The texts that have been analyzed originate mainly from public universities; 30% refer to the relationship between teaching and research as inserted in analises of the history, financing, structure or organization of the Brazilian higher education; 38% of the texts approach in classroom investigations or documental and bibliographic research the courses, disciplines, curricular structure, pedagogical practices, teaching/learning processes or several concepts from teachers and students, among others. Although the production that focuses on graduate studies increases in this period, it tends to decrease in the last years, as opposed to the texts that approach the teachers training for higher education, which show an increase. We find a greater incidence of studies on teachers training courses and less on another graduate courses, as well as a recurrence of studies about courses as Pedagogy and Mathematics. The field of research about graduate students is little explored and investigations on quality and working conditions for professors, as well as substitute professors are practically ignored in the academic production
O objetivo dessa investigação, de tipo documental bibliográfica, foi construir um mapa dos principais aspectos abordados nos estudos sobre graduação com base nos textos apresentados nas reuniões da Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Educação (ANPEd), no período entre 1996 e 2003. Para tanto, foram analisados 163 textos, de um total de 1985 publicados no CD ROM histórico da ANPEd - que reúne documentos até 2001 - e nos CDs ROM das reuniões anuais de 2002 e 2003. Dentre eles, foram selecionados aqueles que tratam da educação superior e que abordam questões relacionadas à graduação. Especial atenção foi dedicada aos trabalhos que focalizam a relação entre ensino e pesquisa nesse nível de ensino. Partiu-se de uma revisão bibliográfica que situa a graduação no ensino superior e nas universidades e analisa as funções de ensino e pesquisa inseridas no contexto histórico do ensino superior no Brasil e suas expectativas para o Século XXI. Para análise dos dados tomou-se por base estudos de autores brasileiros que realizaram sínteses da produção acadêmica em teses e dissertações e em periódicos nacionais sobre Educação Superior, Formação de Professores e Licenciaturas. Os textos analisados procedem, em sua maioria, de universidades públicas ou privadas, do tipo confessional; 30% referem-se à relação ensino e pesquisa inserida em análises da história, do financiamento, da estrutura ou da organização da educação superior brasileira; 38% dos textos abordam em investigações em sala de aula ou em pesquisas bibliográficas e documentais - os cursos, as disciplinas, a estrutura curricular, as práticas pedagógicas, os processos de ensino - aprendizagem ou diversas concepções de professores e alunos. A produção que focaliza aspectos da graduação, apesar de aumentar no período, tende a diminuir nos últimos anos, ao contrário dos textos que abordam a formação do professor para o ensino superior que evidenciam crescimento. Encontrou-se maior incidência de estudos sobre licenciaturas e menor sobre cursos de bacharelado, assim como recorrência de estudos sobre alguns cursos como os de Pedagogia e Matemática. O campo de pesquisa sobre os alunos de graduação é pouco explorado e investigações sobre qualidade e condições de trabalho dos professores, bem como a dos professores substitutos são praticamente ignoradas na produção acadêmica

Texto completoResumen
China has adopted diversified funding mechanisms for its HEIs. This observation
becomes the point of departure of the present research: the mismatch between the
socialist state ideology and the diversified funding structure of higher education in China,
which grants a greater share to non-govemment resources in financing HEIs. The
research sets out to analyze the funding of China's higher education and the process of its
diversification.
The first chapter is a brief introduction to China's higher education. The second chapter
describes China's higher education reforms since later 1970s and presents the problem
statement regarding the mismatch between State ideology and the funding patterns of
HEIs.
In Chapter 3, four theoretical hypotheses are formulated to explain the above the
mismatch. Human Capital Theory: by channeling money back into public institutions
from non-government sectors, the State reduces its burden to finance higher education.
Resource Dependence Theory: inadequate funding for institutions and competition
formed an environment in which institutions' need to seek diverse resources from non-
State actors. Mass Higher Education Theory: with mass higher education, only a
diversified funding scheme can sustain the expanded higher education system because
public finance alone is no longer sufficient. Social Constructivism: in the current global
economy, China's diversified funding scheme for higher education is shaped by global
norms reflecting broader patterns of higher education restructuring despite its political
ideology.
Chapter 4 introduces the research methods and data of the study. The data used in this
study covers the time period 1996-2003. It includes government policies and information
about sources of funding for various types of HEIs. Chapter 5 reviewed China's tuition
policy, Action Plans 21 for the Rejuvenation of Education, Project 211 and Project 985.
The Action Plans emphasizes invigorating state economy by strengthening education. Project 211 and Project 985 are focused on building a few elite HEIs. Chapter 6 shows
that non-government expenditure became the largest funding source for HEIs replacing
government budget expenditure in 1999, when the Action Plans was implemented. Data
also shows that national regular HEIs are given funding priority as reflected in Project
211 and Project 985. In contradiction, local regular HEIs and their students remain underfunded.
In conclusion, Chapter 7 examines the four hypotheses over the backdrop of the findings.
The first three theories dwell on domestic factors and fail to properly explain the
mismatch between funding diversification and China's socialist ideology. Social
Constructivism, with a focus on international factors, is able to account for the mismatch
by claiming that global norms shape China's domestic policies and redefine the identity
of the Chinese society. Chapter 8 provides insights regarding the implications of the
study and reflections on future researches.Education, Faculty of

Previous issue date: 2007Esta dissertação teve o objetivo de analisar a ocorrência do dengue no Município de Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, entre 1996 e 2003 com base em geoprocessamento. A base de dadosde dengue foi obtida através do SINAN. As informações demográficas foram conseguidas no Instituto Brasileiro de Geoia e Estatística (IBGE), pela Base de Informações por SetorCensitário. Os dados populacionais, socioeconômicos e de saneamento necessários ao estudo são os disponíveis no censo demográfico de 2000 do IBGE. (...) Na análise da incidência de dengue por bairros, destacou-se a presença de mosaicos debairros próximos com níveis de incidência muito elevados contíguos a outros com baixa incidência, em várias regiões. Esse padrão heterogêneo chama atenção no primeiro períodopor ser esta uma avaliação média da incidência durante cinco anos de DEN-1. Sendo que este tipo já circulava anteriormente por uma década, sugerindo que diferentes fatores daimunidade de grupo interferiram de forma relevante na expressão endêmica territorial deste processo endêmico-epidêmico. No segundo período (2001), a característica mais marcante foia magnitude da incidência em um dos bairros da região Oceânica, enquanto outros da sua vizinhança não acompanharam esta expressão, o que não foi observado no uso da unidadeterritorial região. Na epidemia do período de introdução do DEN-3 (2002) novamente o padrão em mosaico se torna mais evidente, com bairros apresentando elevadas incidências,contrastando com suas vizinhanças. Convém ressaltar que essa foi uma epidemia por um sorotipo novo (DEN-3).

Texto completoResumen
Den snabba tillväxten av organiserad brottslighet under de senaste tio åren ger en bra möjlighet att undersöka dess inverkan på brottsförekomst – ett relativt outforskat område i Sverige. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur kommuners brottsfrekvens påverkas av förekomsten av kriminella MC-gäng. En panel med kommundata för åren 1996–2003 ligger till grund för den modell, med kommun- och tidsspecifika effekter, som används för att undersöka effekterna av kriminella MC-gäng på ett antal brottskategorier. De brottskategorier som undersöks är: tillgrepp av fordon, stöld ur och från fordon och inbrottsstöld samt misshandel mot män utomhus, och därtill även total brottslighet, total tillgreppsbrottslighet, total våldsbrottslighet och total hotbrottslighet. För flera brottskategorier visar resultatet tecken på att antalet anmälda brott minskar då kriminella MC-gäng finns etablerade i kommunen, vilket kan vara följden av en avskräckande effekt som framkallas på grund av gängens närvaro, och/eller genom hot och andra metoder. En avskräckande effekt kan medföra att anmälningsbenägenheten sjunker vilket följaktligen skulle betyda att antalet anmälda brott minskar.

O presente estudo buscou avaliar, a partir de informações da Pesquisa Anual Industrial do IBGE, a evolução da Produtividade Total dos Fatores (PTF) para a indústria farmacêutica nacional, objetivando contribuir com o debate acerca dos reajustes de preços do setor no âmbito da resolução Nº 1, de 27 de Fevereiro de 2004 da CMED. Para tanto, foram estimadas as fronteiras de produção estocásticas segundo o modelo implementado em Battese e Coelli (1995) com o emprego da Forma Flexível de Fourrier. A partir da metodologia citada acima, calculou-se os índices PTF de Malmquist para o período compreendido entre 1996 e 2003. Foram construídos seis índices distintos de produtividade para avaliar o setor. Tal construção se deveu à necessidade de se atribuir exogenamente as taxas de depreciação para o cálculo do estoque de capital. Desta forma, três hipóteses distintas (8%, 9% e 10%, seguindo valores dentro do intervalo utilizado pela literatura de ciclos reais no Brasil) foram atribuídas com o objetivo de checar a robustez dos índices. A partir deste conjunto de três séries, foram calculados índices de média geométrica (seguindo a metodologia mais popular entre os autores da literatura de índices de Malmquist) e de média ponderada (cujo peso atribuído foi a participação do Valor da Transformação Industrial de cada empresa em relação ao total do mercado). Dentre os resultados obtidos, vale destacar que, no período investigado, o setor não apresentou variações tecnológicas significativas. Os coeficientes são, numericamente próximos a zero e os índices de variação técnica variam positivamente até 1999 e, posteriormente, apresentam variações negativas que compensam o efeito positivo do período anterior. O mesmo não pode ser dito ineficiência técnica. De acordo com as equações estimadas, a ineficiência não apenas está presente, como predomina a variância do erro idiossincrático. Sua variação não apresenta um padrão decrescente nítido como a tecnologia. Entretanto, quando avaliada de maneira acumulada, os resultados mostram que, em todos os índices elaborados, houve uma perda de eficiência. Os resultados finais dos índices, obtidos a partir da variação da eficiência técnica e da variação técnica, apontam para uma perda de produtividade acumulada nos dois grupos de índices, isto é, tomando como base o ano de 1996. Desta forma, o ano de 2003 apresentou uma perda média de 8% para a média ponderada e de aproximadamente 7% na média geométrica.The aim of this study is develop a contribution about the prices readjustments in Brazilian Pharmaceutical Industrial Sector, which is regulated by Resolution Nº 1 from 27 February of Brazilian?s Medicines Chamber (CMED). The present work uses information from IBGE?s Industrial Annual Research between 1996-2003. This contribution comes from measuring the Malmquist Total Factor Productivity Index of this sector. In order to do so, Battese and Coelli?s (1995) stochastic productions frontiers were estimated whit employment of Fourrier Flexible Form. Six different indexes were constructed by the necessity to attribute an exogenous depreciation factor to calculus of capital stock. Therefore, three distinct hypotheses (8%, 9% and 10%) were established to this factor, following the values used by Brazilian Real Business Cycles Literature. Apart from these values, two sets of indexes were constructed: a geometric mean index (following the most popular methodology in the Malmquist Index Literature) and a weighted mean index (the weight used is the relatively participation of each firm at the total Industrial Transformation Value). The results shows that the sector doesn?t have a significant technological variation in the investigated period. The technological coefficients are numerically near to zero and the derivative technological indexes present positive variation until 1999. After this period, the technological indexes present negative variation, so the final effect is quite null. Looking to the technical efficiency, we can?t assume the same result. According to the estimated equation, inefficiency is not only present but it?s effects seem dominate the idiosyncratic error. Moreover, the inefficiency doesn?t show a clear decreasing pattern like technological variation. However, when someone evaluate this variable accumulated, the results show an efficiency lost. The final results of these indexes were got by the technical indexes and technical efficiencies indexes and present an accumulated efficiency lost in two sets of indexes with 1996 as basis. Therefore, 2003 shows an average lost about 8% in weighted mean and about 7% in geometric mean.

The Toulon-Verona Conference was founded in 1998 by prof. Claudio Baccarani of the University of Verona, Italy, and prof. Michel Weill of the University of Toulon, France. It has been organized each year in a different place in Europe in cooperation with a host university (Toulon 1998, Verona 1999, Derby 2000, Mons 2001, Lisbon 2002, Oviedo 2003, Toulon 2004, Palermo 2005, Paisley 2006, Thessaloniki 2007, Florence, 2008). Originally focusing on higher education institutions, the research themes have over the years been extended to the health sector, local government, tourism, logistics, banking services. Around a hundred delegates from about twenty different countries participate each year and nearly one thousand research papers have been published over the last ten years, making of the conference one of the major events in the field of quality in services.

ZusammenfassungMedium-term price continuation, commonly defined as momentum, is a widespread phenomenon in financial markets. It exists for individual stocks (Jegadeesh and Titman, 1993), for industry sectors (Moskowitz and Grinblatt, 1999), for style portfolios (Lewellen, 2002), in international equity markets (Rouwenhorst, 1998; Chui et al., 2010), and across asset classes (Bhojraj and Swaminathan, 2006; Menkhoff et al., 2012; Asness et al., 2013). Momentum also appears to be persistent over time, at least outside the U.S. stock market (Jegadeesh and Titman, 2001; McLean and Pontif, 2016; Green et al., 2017; Jacobs and Müller, 2020).

Academic research on film tourism has been around since the early 1990s, but the popularity and extensiveness of research in this area has increased in recent years (Hahm, Upchurch & Wang, 2008; Beeton, 2010), with a number of studies examining the increase of visitor numbers to film locations (Beeton, 2005; Busby, Brunt, & Lund, 2003; Cousins & Anderek, 1993; Croy & Walker, 2003; Gundle, 2002; Kim & Richardson, 2003; Riley, Baker, & Van Doren, 1998; Riley & Van Doren, 1992; Schofield, 1996; Tooke & Baker, 1996; Di Cesare et al., 2009). Similarly, the impact of films on people's image formation has been widely acknowledged in the literature (Butler, 1990; Gartner, 1993; Iwashita, 2003). Films are not generally produced with the intent to attract tourists to a destination, but tend to influence viewers indirectly as a background part of the movie's message (Butler, 1990; Hudson & Ritchie, 2006). This is because they can present millions of viewers with substantial information about a destination, create a first-time image, or alter an existing image in a relatively short period of time (Hahm et al., 2008). Thus, this study makes a modest attempt in the direction of identifying the relationship between film tourism and tourist's desire to travel, which is a cross national comparison between India and China.

The effective use of information and communication technology, or ICT (Barua, Kriebel, & Mukhopadhyay, 1995; Burn & Szeto, 2000; Mahmood & Mann, 2005; Mukhopadhyay, Kekre, & Kalathur, 1995; Sircar, Turnbow, & Bordoloi, 2000; Zammuto, 1982), requires a careful design of information systems and the business processes they support from a communicative perspective (language-action perspective). The literature on language action provides a broad spectrum of frameworks for modeling business processes, for example, business action theory (BAT; Goldkuhl, 1996, 1998; Goldkuhl & Lind, 2004), dynamic essential modeling of organizations (DEMO; Dietz, 1999; Dietz & Habing, 2004; Liu, Sun, Barjis, & Dietz, 2003; van Reijswoud, 1996; van Reijswoud & Dietz, 1999), action workflow (Denning & Medina-Mora, 1995; Kethers & Schoop, 2000; Medina-Mora, Winograd, Flores, & Flores, 1992), action-based modeling (Lehtinen & Lyytinen, 1986), and conversation for action (Winograd & Flores, 1986). Among these frameworks, BAT can be seen as the most general because it does not commit the modeler to any specific methodology allowing for a free choice of the most appropriate one in the context. A possible choice would be that of the situation-adaptable work and information systems modeling method (SIMM; Goldkuhl, 1996).

From the standpoint of the 1990s, the twentieth century seems to have ended on especially depressing notes. Run through the catalogue of tragedy: the hopeful Oslo Accords go dead with the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin (1995); Serbian-Slovenian War (1991); Serbian-Croatian War (1991–1995); Bosnian War (1992–1996); first Congo War (1996–1997); Great War of Africa (1998–2003), where 6 million were killed; and the Kosovo War (1998–1999). Their driving force was nationalism, undoubtedly, some found themselves the key. For Aung San Suu Kyi of Burma (Myanmar) her choice in the three-tiered political identity was the nation for which she gave up her family and all the global ideals in the beginning of her career: human rights, democracy, and individual freedom.

Digital government is a complex socio-technical phenomenon, which is affected by technical, managerial, institutional, and environmental factors (Dawes & Pardo, 2002; Fountain, 2001; Gant, 2003; Garson, 2000; Heeks, 2005; Kraemer, King, Dunkle et al., 1989; Landsbergen & Wolken, 2001; Laudon, 1985; Rocheleau, 2003). Recent studies have greatly contributed to developing the necessary knowledge about e-government benefits and success factors (Barrett & Greene, 2000; Dawes, 1996; Gil-García & Pardo, 2005; Heeks, 2003; Holmes, 2001; O’Looney, 2002; Rocheleau, 1999; West, 2005; Zhang et al., 2002). However, an important portion of this research has used a single measure of e-government and relatively simple assumptions about the relationships between information technologies and organizational, institutional, and contextual factors (Gil-García, 2005b).

Histograms have been extensively studied and applied in the context of Selectivity Estimation (Kooi, 1980; Muralikrishna & DeWitt, 1998; Piatetsky-Shapiro et al., 1984; Poosala et al., 1996; Poosala, 1997), and are effectively implemented in commercial systems (e.g., Oracle Database, IBM DB2 Universal Database, Microsoft SQL Server) to query optimization purposes. In statistical databases (Malvestuto, 1993; Shoshani, 1997), histograms represent a method for approximating probability distributions. They have also been used in data mining activities, intrusion detection systems, scientific databases, that is, in all those applications which (i) operate on huge numbers of detailed records, (ii) extract useful knowledge only from condensed information consisting of summary data, (iii) but are not usually concerned with detailed information. Indeed, histograms can reach a surprising efficiency and effectiveness in approximating the actual distributions of data starting from summarized information. This has led the research community to investigate the use of histograms in the fields of database management systems (Acharya et al., 1999; Bruno et al., 2001; Gunopulos et al., 2000; Ioannidis & Poosala, 1999; Kooi, 1980; Muralikrishna & DeWitt, 1998; Piatetsky-Shapiro et al., 1984; Poosala, 1997; Poosala & Ioannidis, 1997), online analytical processing (OLAP) systems (Buccafurri et al., 2003; Cuzzocrea, 2005a; Cuzzocrea & Wang, 2007; Furfaro et al., 2005; Poosala & Ganti, 1999), and data stream management systems (Guha et al., 2001; Guha et al., 2002; Thaper et al., 2002), where, specifically, compressing data is mandatory in order to obtain fast answers and manage the endless arrival of new information, as no bound can be given to the amount of information which can be received.

The objective of this article is to sketch out the profile of the digital citizen. The premise for this article rests upon utopian views that embrace new media technologies as democratizers of postindustrial society (e.g., Bell, 1981; Johnson & Kaye, 1998; Kling, 1996; Negroponte, 1998; Rheingold, 1993) and cautionary criticism that questions the substantial impact new media could have on reviving a dormant public sphere (e.g., Bimber & Davis, 2003; Davis, 1999; Hill & Hughes, 1998; Jankowski & van Selm, 2000; Jones, 1997; Margolis & Resnick, 2000; Scheufele & Nisbet, 2002). Concurrently, declining participation in traditional forms of political involvement and growing public cynicism (e.g., Cappella & Jamieson, 1996, 1997; Fallows, 1996; Patterson, 1993, 1996) position the Internet and related technologies as vehicles through which political activity can be reinvented. Still, conflicting narratives on civic involvement, as articulated by the government, politicians, the media, and the public, create confusion about the place and role of the citizen in a digital age. The digital citizen profile, therefore, is defined by historical and cultural context, divided between expectation and skepticism regarding new media, and presents hope of resurrecting the public sphere and awakening a latent, postmodern political consciousness. This article outlines these conditions, reviews perceptions of the digital citizen, and proposes a digital citizen role model for the future.

Este artigo objetiva socializar resultado de uma pesquisa sobre como as representações docentes se relacionam com o desenvolvimento das práticas letradas na educação básica. Trata-se de seus reflexos sobre tarefas, ações e atividades que compõem o trabalho docente. Suas bases teóricas são: interação social (VOLOCHÍNOV, 2004; BAKHTIN, 2003), elementos socio-históricos e culturais para o desenvolvimento das pessoas (VIGOTSKY, 1987; BRONCKART, 2006, 2014), o trabalho docente (MACHADO; ABREU-TARDELLI, 2005), Teoria das Representações Sociais (MOSCOVICI, 2007; PY, 2004; GUARESCHI, 2000), gênero textual (KLEIMAN; CECINEROS; TINOCO, 2013; DOLZ; NOVERRAZ; SCHNEUWLY, 2004) e de Letramentos (KLEIMAN, 2007). Relata aspectos de um estudo de caso/ etnográfico, desenvolvido em instituições públicas. Os dados – advindos de entrevistas, questionários, Projeto Político-Pedagógico de cada escola e diário de campo da pesquisadora - foram examinados sob a ótica da Análise do Discurso (ORLANDI, 1996, 2011, 2003; AUTHIER-REVUZ, 1990) e da Semântica Argumentativa (DUCROT, 1987; KOCH, 1996). Revelam que as RS que interferem no agir docente refletindo sobre o trabalho coletivo, o planejamento cotidiano e recai sobre as práticas didáticas desenvolvidas no interior da escola. Tais interferências expressam, concomitantemente, um movimento de manutenção e de mudança sobre as próprias representações e sobre as práticas profissionais. Os docentes vêem-se interpelados pelas injunções e negociações que restringem as próprias ações. Essas restrições manifestam-se nos processos de planejamentos coletivos e individuais e expressam contradições diante dos objetivos enfim, os professores encontram possibilidades para agir na direção de mudanças e/ou transformações marcadas pelos posicionamentos.

In recent years, mild or moderate hypothermia during which brain temperature is reduced to 30–35°C, has been proposed for clinical use as an adjunct for achieving protection from cerebral ischemia during cardiac bypass injury [Nussmeier 2002], carotid endarterectomy [Jamieson et al., 2003] and resection of extra-cranial aneurysm [Wagner and Zuccarello 2005], as well as stroke and traumatic brain injury [Marion et al., 1996; Marion 1997]. It has been shown that a reduction in brain temperature as small as 2°C substantially reduced ischemic cell damage [Clark et al., 1996], or improved significantly post-ischemic regional histopathology [Wass et al., 1995]. Most of the currently used clinical studies have examined only systemic hypothermia by whole body cooling. The major methodological drawback of this approach is slow cooling rate (∼0.5°/hour) due to the large volume of the human body and arteriovenous shunt vasoconstriction [Krieger et al., 2001; Marion et al., 1997; Schwab et al., 1998]. Whole body cooling does induce systemic complications. The systemic risks may outweigh the beneficial effects of neuro-hypothermia in the current clinical practice. Selective brain cooling which keeps the rest of body at normal temperature, on the other hand, can be used to maximize the neuroprotection of hypothermia.

Texto completoResumen
Size is one of the most controversial influencing factors in the diffusion literature. Some authors argue that large firms have several advantages over smaller firms in the adoption of an innovation (Brown 1981), while others argue that diffusion of innovation in small firms is quicker than in large firms because of the advantages associated with small size (Acs & Audretsh, 1988; Julien, 1993; Lefebvre & Le-febvre, 1993; Riding, 1993). However, the controversy on the impact of size on diffusion of innovation has been further complicated by the mixed results of the studies investigating the relationship between size as an influential factor and diffusion of innovation (Aiken, et al., 1980; Blau & McKinley, 1979; Booth & Giacobbe, 1998; Damanpour, 1992; Dewar & Dutton, 1986; Hage, 1980; Krumwiede, 1998; Libby & Waterhouse, 1996). Shedding light on this controversy, this paper examines the relationship between business size and the diffusion of both technological innovation and activity based costing (ABC) through a longitudinal study in a single industry.

The flow through a compliant-walled channel or tube is analogous to human systems, such as blood vessels (Holt, 1969), the trachea during forced expiration (Elad and Kamm, 1989), and, with some limitations, the glottis (Conrad, 1980). Typical studies involving collapsible channels have used a rigid channel with a longitudinal section of the channel wall replaced with a deformable structure, such as a membrane. Numerical and analytical studies of the flow and accompanying wall deformation have used 1-dimensional or lumped-parameter models (e.g., Shapiro, 1977; Cancelli and Pedley, 1985) as well as detailed flow and structural models using the finite element method (e.g., Rast, 1994; Luo and Pedley, 1995, 1996; Shim and Kamm, 2002; Cai and Luo, 2003).

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is critically involved in cognitive processes underlying working memory (WM), attention, and inhibition of responses to non-relevant stimuli (Fuster, 2000; Goldman-Rakic, 1996). In this context, catecholaminergic inputs have proven to be critical for the regulation of these cognitive processes (Levitt et al., 1984; Lewis et al., 1987; Lewis and Morrison, 1989; Porrino and Goldman-Rakic, 1982). Aston-Jones and Bloom (1981a, b) showed that, in addition to dopamine (DA) the norepinephrine (NE) neurons located in the locus coeruleus (LC) and terminating in the PFC are important in mediating selective and sustained attention and vigilance. Moreover, stimulation of the LC increases the discrimination of incoming external stimuli to the PFC by reducing the background noise, therefore enhancing the cortical signal-to-noise ratio (Aston-Jones et al., 1985; Berridge and Waterhouse, 2003; Foote et al., 1980, 1983; Waterhouse et al., 1980; Robbins, 2000). More recently, several studies have shown that adrenergic agonists, especially specific alpha-2 agonists, are very effective in enhancing WM and attention. Indeed, administration of alpha-2 agonists can ameliorate some of the negative effects on cognition produced by NE depletion due to aging in monkeys (Arnsten and Goldman-Rakic, 1985; Arnsten et al., 1988; Arnsten and Leslie, 1991) and improve performance in WM-related tasks in young monkeys with NE depletion (Arnsten and Goldman-Rakic, 1985; Cai et al., 1993). Moreover, the therapeutic effects of the specific alpha-2 agonists, clonidine and guanfacine in treating disorders related to dysfunction of WM in patients have been proved (Fields et al., 1988; Mair and McEntree 1986, 1988; Hunt et al., 1985, 1990, 1995).

Texto completoResumen
13 uranium mines operated in the South Alligator Valley of Australia’s Northern Territory between 1953 and 1963. At the end of operations the mines, and associated infrastructure, were simply abandoned. As this activity preceded environmental legislation by about 15 years there was neither any obligation, nor attempt, at remediation. In the 1980s it was decided that the whole area should become an extension of the adjacent World Heritage, Kakadu National Park. As a result the Commonwealth Government made an inventory of the abandoned mines and associated facilities in 1986. This established the size and scope of the liability and formed the framework for a possible future remediation project. The initial program for the reduction of physical and radiological hazards at each of the identified sites was formulated in 1989 and the works took place from 1990 to 1992. But even at this time, as throughout much of the valley’s history, little attention was being paid to the long term aspirations of traditional land owners. The traditional Aboriginal owners, the Gunlom Land Trust, were granted freehold Native Title to the area in 1996. They immediately leased the land back to the Commonwealth Government so it would remain a part of Kakadu National Park, but under joint management. One condition of the lease required that all evidence of former mining activity be remediated by 2015. The consultation, and subsequent planning processes, for a final remediation program began in 1997. A plan was agreed in 2003 and, after funding was granted in 2005, works implementation commenced in 2007. An earlier paper described the planning and consultation stages, experience involving the cleaning up of remant uranium mill tailings and other mining residues; and the successful implementation of the initial remediation works. This paper deals with the final planning and design processes to complete the remediation programme, which is due to occur in 2009. The issues of final containment design and long term stewardship are addressed in the paper as well as some comments on lessons learned through the life of the project.

Texto completoResumen
Assessment of student learning outcomes plays an important role in educational effectiveness, improvement, and sustainability that is increasingly being recognized and required by accrediting bodies (Buzzetto-More, 2006; Haken, 2006). A form of performance-based assessment that is growing in popularity and is heralded for its purposeful, dynamic, and integrated nature is the portfolio (Cooper, 1999; ePort, 2003; Paulson, Paulson, & Meyer, 1991). Electronic portfolios encourage students to engage in self reflection by providing a broad range of means for expressing the total learning experience as linked to standards and learning outcomes (AAHE, 2001; Barett, 2004; ePort, 2003; Martell & Calderon, 2005; Popper, 2005). They are an effective form of assessment that encourages students and educators to examine skills that may not be otherwise accessed using traditional means such as higher order thinking, communications, and collaborative abilities (Buzzetto-More, 2006; Wright, 2004). Electronic portfolios can be created using tools ranging from off-the-shelf generic software applications to widely available systems. This paper will focus on the latter by investigating the eight most widely available systems and by providing a detailed examination of their platform features. A matrix has been provided that offers a side-by-side comparison of the platforms by a variety of features that include: learning outcomes, rubrics, storage, support, assessments, surveys, advisement, communication, collaboration, data collection/reporting, intended user, supporting file types, pricing structure, and accessibility.

Texto completoResumen
Enbridge Pipelines Inc. operates the world’s longest and most complex liquids pipeline network. As part of Enbridge’s Integrity Management Program In-Line Inspections have been and will continue to be conducted on more than 15,000 km of pipeline. This extensive program is comprised of a mature metal loss and geometry inspection component as well as a crack inspection program utilizing the most sophisticated In-Line Inspection (ILI) tools available. Enbridge conducted its first ultrasonic crack inspection with the British Gas Elastic Wave Vehicle (Now GE Power Systems – Oil & Gas – PII Pipeline Solutions) in September 1993 on a Canadian portion of it’s 864–mm (34”) diameter line. The Elastic Wave Vehicle was also used for crack detection on additional segments of this same 864–mm (34”) diameter line during the following years, 1994, 1995 and 1996. Enbridge then conducted its first crack inspection with the Pipetronix UltraScan CD tool (Now also GE Power Systems – Oil & Gas – PII Pipeline Solutions) in November 1997 on a segment of this 864–mm (34”) diameter line that was previously inspected with the Elastic Wave Vehicle. The UltraScan CD tool was then utilized again in 1999, 2000 and 2001 completing crack inspection of the Canadian portion of this 864–mm (34”) diameter line. Enbridge conducted its first magnetic crack inspection with the PII TranScan (TFI) Circumferential Magnetic inspection tool in December 1998 on a United States portion of another 864–mm (34”) diameter line. This same section of line was subsequently inspected with the PII UltraScan CD tool in July 2001. This paper discusses the comparison of results from overlapping crack inspection data analysis from these three PII crack detection tools. Specifically, the overlap of the UltraScan CD and Elastic Wave Vehicle along with the overlap of the UltraScan CD and TranScan (TFI) tool. The relative performance of each crack detection tool will be explored and conclusions drawn.

Texto completoResumen
This paper explains in a de-westernized sense (Gunaratne, 2010) how internet-mediated communication changes the way we deal with and plan time both individually and culturally in Germany and China. Therefore, it blends Western and Eastern culture and media theories. The paper focuses on two distinct phenomena: temporal change due to social media, and Online journalism, as the core of Internet-mediated communication (for Germany 39% communication, media use 24% Projektgruppe ARD/ZDF-Multimedia, 2016; for China 90.7% instant messaging, 82% Internet news China Internet Network Information Center, 2017), with other temporal change via smart devices touched upon (Ash, 2018). General research on time in post modern societies, recently more focused on media’s temporal change phenomena (e.g. Barker, 2012; Barker, 2018; Castells, 2010; Eriksen, 2001; Hartmann, 2016; Hassan, 2003; Innis, 2004; Neverla, 2010a, 2010b; Nowotny, 1995; Rantanen, 2005; Wajcman, 2010; Wajcman and Dodd) has not yet linked the different societal and cultural levels of temporal change. Thus, we suggest the following to fill this research gap: For a micro perspective the notions of network theories (e.g. Granovetter, 1973; Schönhuth, 2013), media synchronicity (Dennis, Fuller, and Valacich, 2008) and the idea of permanent connectivity (Sonnentag, Reinecke, Mata, and Vorderer, 2018; van Dijck, 2013; Vorderer, Krömer, and Schneider, 2016) are linked. On a meso level, institutional change in Online journalism with a focus on acceleration is modeled (Ananny, 2016; Bødker and Sonnevend, 2017; Dimmick, Feaster, and Hoplamazian, 2011; Krüger, 2014; Neuberger, 2010). On a macro level, mediatization theory (Couldry and Hepp, 2017; Krotz, 2001, 2012) and recent acceleration theory (Rosa, 2005, 2012, 2017) is discussed. The levels are systematically linked suggesting a micro-meso-macro-link (Quandt, 2010) to then ask if and how many of the dimensions of the construct temporal understanding (Faust, 2016) can be changed through Internet-mediated communication. Temporal understanding consists of nine dimensions: General past, general future, instrumental experience (monochronicity), fatalism, interacting experience (polychronicity), pace of life, future as planned expectation and result of proximal goals as well as future as trust based interacting expectation and result of present positive behavior. Temporal understanding integrates the anthropological construct of polychronicity (Bluedorn, Kalliath, Strube, and Martin, 1999; Hall, 1984; Lindquist and Kaufman-Scarborough, 2007), pace of life (Levine, 1998) and temporal horizon (Klapproth, 2011) into a broader framework which goes beyond Western biased constructs through the theory driven incorporation of Confucian notions (Chinese Culture Connection, 1987). Finally, meta trends are laid out.

The German pilot reprocessing plant WAK was shut down in 1990 after reprocessing about 200 Mg of nuclear fuels and is decided to be dismantled completely to the green field until year 2023. During the years 1994 until 2008 approximately 2.000 Mg of partly highly contaminated process equipment and 1.500 Mg of concrete structures corresponding to 99% of the radioactive inventory of 5E14 Bq of the WAK reprocessing building have already been dismantled. A major prerequisite for the complete dismantling of the WAK is the management of the 60 m3 high-level liquid waste (HLLW) with a total β/γ-activity of 8.0E17 Bq resulting from reprocessing. For this purpose the Karlsruhe Vitrification Plant (VEK) was constructed in the years between 2000 and 2005 and inactively tested in 2007. The subsequent nuclear test operation and routine hot operation of the VEK plant are planned to start mid-2009. In parallel to vitrification operation, dismantling of the four HLLW tanks in the storage buildings will be prepared for remote dismantling.

Texto completoResumen
La desigualdad de género es una realidad en la mayoría de las regiones del mundo, particularmente en los países en desarrollo (Banco Mundial, 2018). A su vez, la evidencia empírica nos muestra que el cierre de brechas de género contribuye significativamente al crecimiento económico (Dollar y Gatti, 1999; Klasen, 2002; Barro y Sala-i-Martin, 2003; Abu-Ghaida y Klasen, 2004; Klasen y Lamanna, 2009; Thévenon et al., 2012; entre otros). Existen varios factores que impactan las desigualdades de género. Por ejemplo, las transformaciones estructurales de los países promueven sectores en los cuales mujeres y hombres exhiben distintas ventajas comparativas (Galor y Weil, 1996; Ngai y Petrongolo, 2017). Factores culturales desencadenan discriminaciones arbitrarias en el mercado laboral (Bertrand y Duflo, 2016). Algunas regulaciones laborales promueven el empleo femenino a través de diferentes canales (Albagli y Rau, 2018). También existen diversos ejemplos de cómo elementos de la política fiscal recaen asimétricamente entre mujeres y hombres (Greenspun y Lustig, 2015). Esto último, motiva el interés por analizar la forma en que distintos aspectos del proceso presupuestario de los países impactan las brechas de género, originando así el enfoque de gender budgeting. Este capítulo describe y discute dicho enfoque y extrae lecciones de política para los países CID.

Texto completoResumen
Plants monitor environmental signals and modulate their growth and development in a manner optimal for the prevailing light conditions. The mechanisms by which plants transduce light signals and integrate them with other environmental and developmental signals to regulate plant pattern development are beginning to be unraveled. A large body of knowledge has accumulated regarding the roles of specific photoreceptors in perceiving light signals, and about the downstream developmental responses responding to light (Batschauer, 1999; Chamovitz and Deng, 1996; Deng and Quail, 1999). Still, little is know about the molecular mechanisms connecting the photoreceptors to development, and how these developmental pathways are integrated with additional developmental regulatory pathways to modulate growth. The multi-subunit protein complex COP9 signalosome (previously referred to as the "COP9 complex") has a central role in mediating the light control of plant development, and in general developmental regulation. Arabidopsis mutants that lack this complex develop photomorphogenically even in the absence of light signals (reviewed in Chamovitz and Deng 1996, 1997). Various genetic studies have indicated that the COP9 signalosome acts at the nexus of upstream signals transduced from the individual photoreceptors, and specific downstream signaling pathways. Thus the COP9 signalosome was hypothesized to be a master repressor of photomorphogenesis, and that light acts to abrogate this repression. However, the COP9 signalosome has roles beyond the regulation of photomorphogenesis as all mutants lacking this complex die following early seedling development, and an essentially identical complex has also been detected in animal systems (Chamovitz and Deng, 1995; Seeger et al., 1998; Wei et al., 1998). Our long term objective is to determine the role of the COP9 signalosome in controlling plant development. In this research project we showed that this complex contains at least eight subunits (Karniol et al., 1998; Serino et al., 1999) and that the 27 kD subunit is encoded by the FUS5 locus (Karniol et al., 1999). The FUS5 subunit also has a role extraneous to the COP9 signalosome, and differential kinase activity has been implicated in regulating FUSS and the COP9 signalosome (Karniol et al., 1999). We have also shown that the COP9 signalosome may work together with the translational-regulator eIF3. Our study of the COP9 signalosome is one of the exciting examples of plant science leading the way to discoveries in basic animal science (Chamovitz and Deng, 1995; Karniol and Chamovitz, 2000; Wei and Deng, 1999).

Texto completoResumen
The Environmental Laboratory (EL) and the Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL) have jointly completed a number of large-scale hydrodynamic, sediment and water quality transport studies. EL and CHL have successfully executed these studies utilizing the Geophysical Scale Transport Modeling System (GSMB). The model framework of GSMB is composed of multiple process models as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 shows that the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) accepted wave, hydrodynamic, sediment and water quality transport models are directly and indirectly linked within the GSMB framework. The components of GSMB are the two-dimensional (2D) deep-water wave action model (WAM) (Komen et al. 1994, Jensen et al. 2012), data from meteorological model (MET) (e.g., Saha et al. 2010 - http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/pdf/10.1175/2010BAMS3001.1), shallow water wave models (STWAVE) (Smith et al. 1999), Coastal Modeling System wave (CMS-WAVE) (Lin et al. 2008), the large-scale, unstructured two-dimensional Advanced Circulation (2D ADCIRC) hydrodynamic model (http://www.adcirc.org), and the regional scale models, Curvilinear Hydrodynamics in three dimensions-Multi-Block (CH3D-MB) (Luong and Chapman 2009), which is the multi-block (MB) version of Curvilinear Hydrodynamics in three-dimensions-Waterways Experiments Station (CH3D-WES) (Chapman et al. 1996, Chapman et al. 2009), MB CH3D-SEDZLJ sediment transport model (Hayter et al. 2012), and CE-QUAL Management - ICM water quality model (Bunch et al. 2003, Cerco and Cole 1994). Task 1 of the DOER project, “Modeling Transport in Wetting/Drying and Vegetated Regions,” is to implement and test three-dimensional (3D) wetting and drying (W/D) within GSMB. This technical note describes the methods and results of Task 1. The original W/D routines were restricted to a single vertical layer or depth-averaged simulations. In order to retain the required 3D or multi-layer capability of MB-CH3D, a multi-block version with variable block layers was developed (Chapman and Luong 2009). This approach requires a combination of grid decomposition, MB, and Message Passing Interface (MPI) communication (Snir et al. 1998). The MB single layer W/D has demonstrated itself as an effective tool in hyper-tide environments, such as Cook Inlet, Alaska (Hayter et al. 2012). The code modifications, implementation, and testing of a fully 3D W/D are described in the following sections of this technical note.

Texto completoResumen
Plants adjust their growth and development in a manner optimal for the prevailing light conditions. The molecular mechanisms by which light signals are transduced and integrated with other environmental and developmental signals are an area of intense research. (Batschauer, 1999; Quail, 2002) One paradigm emerging from this work is the interconnectedness of discrete physiological responses at the biochemical level, for instance, between auxin and light signaling (Colon-Carmona et al., 2000; Schwechheimer and Deng, 2001; Tian and Reed, 1999) and between light signaling and plant pathogen interactions (Azevedo et al., 2002; Liu et al., 2002). The COP9 signalosome (CSN) protein complex has a central role in the light control of plant development. Arabidopsis mutants that lack this complex develop photomorphogenically even in the absence of light signals (reviewed in (Karniol and Chamovitz, 2000; Schwechheimer and Deng, 2001). Thus the CSN was hypothesized to be a master repressor of photomorphogenesis in darkness, and light acts to bypass or eliminate this repression. However, the CSN regulates more than just photomorphogenesis as all mutants lacking this complex die near the end of seedling development. Moreover, an essentially identical complex was subsequently discovered in animals and yeast, organisms whose development is not light responsive, exemplifying how plant science can lead the way to exciting discoveries in biomedical model species (Chamovitz and Deng, 1995; Freilich et al., 1999; Maytal-Kivity et al., 2002; Mundt et al., 1999; Seeger et al., 1998; Wei et al., 1998). Our long-term objective is to determine mechanistically how the CSN controls plant development. We previously that this complex contains eight subunits (Karniol et al., 1998; Serino et al., 1999) and that the 27 ilia subunit is encoded by the FUS5/CSN7 locus (Karniol et al., 1999). The CSN7 subunit also has a role extraneous to the COP9 signalosome, and differential kinase activity has been implicated in regulating CSN7 and the COP9 signalosome (Karniol et al., 1999). In the present research, we further analyzed CSN7, both in terms of interacting proteins and in terms of kinases that act on CSN7. Furthermore we completed our analysis of the CSN in Arabidopsis by analyzing the remaining subunits. Outline of Original Objectives and Subsequent Modifications The general goal of the proposed research was to study the CSN7 (FUS5) subunit of the COP9 signalosome. To this end we specifically intended to: 1. Identify the residues of CSN7 that are phosphorylated. 2. Monitor the phosphorylation of CSN7 under different environmental conditions and under different genetic backgrounds. 3. Generate transgenic plants with altered CSN7 phosphorylation sites. 4. Purify CSN7 kinase from cauliflower. 5. Clone the Arabidopsis cDNA encoding CSN7 kinase 6. Isolate and characterize additional CSN7 interacting proteins. 7. Characterize the interaction of CSN7 and the COP9 signalosome with the HY5-COP1 transcriptional complex. Throughout the course of the research, emphasis shifted from studying CSN7 phosphorylation (Goals 1-3), to studying the CSN7 kinase (Goal 4 and 5), an in depth analysis of CSN7 interactions (Goal 6), and the study of additional CSN subunits. Goal 7 was also abandoned as no data was found to support this interaction.
