No full textTrabalho apresentado no 31º SEURS - Seminário de Extensão Universitária da Região Sul, realizado em Florianópolis, SC, no período de 04 a 07 de agosto de 2013 - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.O presente trabalho, desenvolvido por acadêmicos do Projeto MediAres – Ação Esportiva, visa ofertar uma oficina constituída por três atividade para ser realizada com alunos do ensino fundamental que favorece o acesso e compreensão da história e cultura presente nas brincadeiras de forma dinâmica e divertida. Uma das atividades é o jogo da geometria com bolas de gude, utiliza-se a percepção das figuras fazendo associação com seus respectivos nomes geométricos e estimulando a coordenação motora dos participantes. Outra atividade é a fabricação e teste de pipas, onde será conhecido o sonho de alcançar os ares, a história e a origem da pipa, além de perigos e malefícios causados pelo cerol. A corrida de tampinhas fecha esse ciclo estimulando a criatividade e o trabalho de equipe, além de noções dos princípios básicos de se elaborar um projeto. Em todos eles os conhecimentos esportivos serão difundidos
Provenance-CSL - A Provenance Client Side Library
No full textData management is a challenge in both scientific and technical environments. Therefore researchers have developed a special interest in this field. Modern approaches (i.e. Subversion, CVS) already offer authoring and versioning in distributed systems. However this might be insufficient in a vast number of scenarios, where not only the data resulting from a process, but also data which describes the process that generated those results is crucial.
For example, if a doctor needs to decide how to treat a patient, he must have access to the patient’s data. Moreover he needs to know how the data was obtained (which tests were made), how old it is (when the tests were made), by whom it was provided (which doctor treated the patient in the past) and so on. This means that not only the patient’s condition, i.e. his bloodpressure, needs to be documented, but also the process which led to the data. This process is called the Provenance of the data. Meta-data describing such a process is the process documentation.
There are many more scenarios where the process of acquiring the data might be almost as important as the data itself. The task of collecting a processes documentation might be quite easy in simple local systems, but becomes rather difficult in distributed environments.
The EU-Project Provenance aims at the development of an open architecture which enables grid-applications to collect and collaborate process documentation in such environments. The general design of the Provenance-architecture is built around a Provenance store. Applications, or actors, which are part of a process may record P-Assertions, which are the atomic units of the process documentation, on the Provenance store. They may query the Provenance store for certain P-Assertions as well.
In order to ease the process of developing applications which make use of Provenance, a client side library, which offers a simple API for interaction with Provenance stores, needs to be developed. This report describes the design of a Provenance-architecture, provides details of the API specification and presents the implementation of a Provenance client side library

Chersaecia Gude 1899
No full textGenus Chersaecia Gude, 1899 Chersaecia Gude, 1899d: 148. Endoplon Gude, 1899 d: 148. Syn. nov. Chersaecia – Páll-Gergely et al. 2015 c: 9. Type species Helix (Plectopylis) leiophis Benson, 1860 by original designation. Included species and subspecies Chersaecia auffenbergi sp. nov., C. brachyplecta (Benson, 1863) comb. nov., C. dextrorsa (Benson, 1860), C. feddeni (Blanford, 1865) comb. nov., C. goniobathmos (Ehrmann, 1922) comb. nov., C. leiophis (Benson, 1860), C. leucochila (Gude, 1897) comb. nov., C. magna (Gude, 1897) comb. nov., C. mogokensis sp. nov., C. nagaensis nagaensis (Godwin-Austen, 1875), C. nagaensis muspratti (Gude, 1897), C. perarcta perarcta (Blanford, 1865), C. perarcta simplex (Solem, 1966), C. perrierae (Gude, 1898), C. refuga (Gould, 1846), C. reversalis sp. nov., C. shanensis (Stoliczka, 1873), C. shiroiensis shiroiensis (Godwin-Austen, 1875), C. shiroiensis subnagaensis subsp. nov., C. smithiana (Gude, 1897) comb. nov., C. woodthorpei (Gude, 1899) comb. nov. Diagnosis Shell sinistral or dextral, flat, widely umbilicated; in most cases protoconch seemingly ‘smooth’, but never glossy, matt or with tubercles of various size; aperture always with fold; parietal wall with one or two vertical lamellae and usually one or two long horizontal plicae reaching the parietal callus (main and lower plica); all palatal plicae horizontal, sometimes divided in the middle, in some species with several additional denticles posteriorly, in some species three horizontal plicae above and one below the vertical plate formed by the accretion of two plicae (similar to that of Plectopylis). Penis long, cylindrical to very short (reduced), internally with irregular longitudinal folds; penial caecum usually absent (rudimentary caecum rarely discernible); epiphallus present or absent; retractor muscle inserts on penis-epiphallus transition (or at the proximal end of penis); vas deferens slender, with thickened proximal part (or entire vas deferens thickened); vagina slender, usually long, with weak fibre muscles; bursa copulatrix long, with slightly or moderately thickened bursa; diverticulum conical to elongated, cylindrical, shorter than bursa (note that in C. perarcta simplex no diverticulum was reported). Differential diagnosis Chersaecia differs from Endothyrella, Gudeodiscus, Halongella, Sicradiscus and Sinicola by the usually tuberculated (not regularly ribbed) protoconch and the presence of long palatal plica extending to the parietal callus (the only exception is Gudeodiscus longiplica). For the delimitation of Chersaecia from Plectopylis, see Remarks. Distribution The genus Chersaecia is known from northeastern India, Myanmar and northern Thailand (Fig. 4). Remarks Gude (1899 d) diagnosed Chersaecia: “Sinistral or dextral. Umbilicus wide. Palatal folds horizontal or oblique. Sometimes with one or oblique or vertical plate”, whereas the diagnosis of Plectopylis s.s. was given as follows: “Sinistral. Shell flattened. Palatal armature: one vertical plate with three horizontal folds above, one below”. However, the fusion of the fourth and fifth palatal plicae into a vertical plate, which is very characteristic in Plectopylis, is also present in two species (perrierae, shiroiensis) assigned to Chersaecia by Gude (1899 d). Therefore this character-state cannot be used as a distinguishing character between the two genera. The peculiarity of Gude’s division is that all species of Plectopylis have two lamellae (sometimes connecting at their upper end), whereas all Chersaecia have only one lamella. These character-states, however, were mentioned by Benson (1860), but not Gude (1899 d). Gude (1914 b) referred to Plectopylis woodthorpei as the transitional form between Plectopylis and Chersaecia, probably because of the small size of the species, which is similar to Chersaecia, but with two lamellae, which is characteristic of Plectopylis sensu Gude (1899d). Some specimens of Chersaecia perrierae show an intermediate character-state between the one and two lamellae types (see under that species). Moreover, the main difference between typical Chersaecia leiophis and Plectopylis goniobathmos is the absence (leiophis) and presence (goniobathmos) of an anterior lamella. These data suggest that the distinguishing mark between Plectopylis and Chersaecia cannot be the number of lamellae, because it shows clinal variability between species, or even between different specimens of the same sample (Fig. 5). I therefore retain all species that are characterized by two lamellae fused at their upper ends, forming a structure which resembles the Greek letter lambda, in the genus Plectopylis. All other former species of Plectopylis, which possess two independent lamellae, are henceforth assigned to the genus Chersaecia. The two species classified in the genus Endoplon Gude, 1899 (type species: Helix (Plectopylis) brachyplecta Benson, 1863, by original designation) do not differ from some species of Chersaecia (e.g., C. magna) in any notable shell characters, only by the coiling direction, which is insufficient to maintain the generic distinction. Therefore, Endoplon is moved to the synonymy of Chersaecia. Gude (1899 d) classified all Vietnamese species in Endoplon. The revision of the Chinese species, however, revealed that the western (Burmese) and eastern (Chinese and Vietnamese) species are only distantly related (see Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi 2013). The genus Gudeodiscus was erected for the Vietnamese and Chinese taxa formerly placed in Endoplon. Chersaecia is very diverse in terms of anatomical characters, especially the length of the penis and the presence or absence of the epiphallus. So far, the limited information on the genitalia is not in agreement with conchological characters. For example, the epiphallus is absent in C. perrierae, but present in the conchologically similar C. shanensis. In contrast, the conchologically different C. scabra sp. nov. is very similar to C. dextrorsa in the genital anatomy (especially the absence of the epiphallus and the vestigial penis). The species classified in this genus should be placed in at least two different genera based on the presence/absence of the epiphallus. However, I here refrain from describing any new genera, because the anatomy of the type species (C. leiophis), and the majority of the other species are unknown.

Diagnosis A very variable species with medium-sized to very large, flat shell, shouldered body whorl due to flat dorsal side (although edge of body whorl rounded), strong main plica, which is connected to both the anterior lamella and the apertural fold, lower plica usually reaches the peristome. Type material The original description (Pfeiffer 1845) was based on a single specimen from the private collection of J.E. Gray, and was said to be collected in South America (“soll aus Südamerika herstammen”). This locality was questioned later (Pfeiffer 1848b: 406), and in the 5 th edition of the Monographiae Heliceorum Viventium, Pfeiffer (1868) designated “Farm Caves, prope Moulmein” as the locality of the species. The location of the single shell (holotype) is unknown, and it is most probably lost. Pfeiffer’s collection was destroyed during WWII (Dance 1986). If not destroyed, there are two possibilities where the holotype could be: either in the collection of Cuming, or the shells could have remained in the collection of Gray. Both collections are deposited in the NHM (Dance 1986). I have been unable to locate the holotype there. Since this is the type species of Plectopylis, which is the type genus of the family Plectopylidae, I found it necessary to select a neotype. The shell detailed below, collected at the type locality, is therefore designated as the neotype. Material examined Neotype (here designated) MYANMAR: 1 shell, Kha Yon Caves, approx. 16°32′ N, 97°42.9′ E, 15 Oct. 2009, K. Okubo leg. (NHMUK 20170143, ex coll. K. Okubo).

Sinistral, flat, but protoconch usually protrudes above dorsal surface; colour variable, from yellowish to blue and flesh-coloured/reddish (usual); shells usually not monochrome, but with lighter stripes of variable thickness; ventral shell surface usually much lighter than dorsal side; protoconch large, consists of 3.25–3.75 whorls, very finely, irregularly wrinkled; ca first whorl of teleoconch with reticulated sculpture; following ca 1.5 whorls rather glossy, with rough, irregular wrinkles; body whorl rounded or slightly, bluntly keeled, above and below shouldered; aperture oblique, oval; peristome strongly expanded and reflected; parietal callus strongly developed, blunt, slightly S-shaped; apertural fold usually strong, connected to parietal callus; umbilicus wide, without periumbilical keel. Four opened shells were examined. Lambda-complex complete; upper branch does not extend beyond left leg; right leg long or very long; main plica connected to lambda-complex, continuous with apertural fold; lower plica starts below lambda-complex and runs until peristome, or in some populations stops in the middle. Palatal plicae six; first relatively short, situated close to suture; second strongly elongated anteriorly, with a dichotomous posterior end; third shorter, its posterior end descends in direction of lower suture; fourth and fifth form a vertical plate, with one or two additional denticles on posterior side, near its lower end; sixth short, curved. MEASUREMENTS (in mm). D = 17.7–31.3, H = 7–9.1 (smallest and largest specimens found in the NHM); D = 26.2–28.8, H = 8.6–9.1 (repercussa, NHMUK paralectotypes); D = 23.8, H = 8.1 (holotype of achatina var. castanea); D = 17.7, H = 7 (holotype of achatina var. venusta); D = 27.3, H = 8.8 (holotype of achatina var. repercussoides); D = 21.8, H = 8.6 (holotype of achatina var. infrafasciata); D = 19.3, H = 7.5 (holotype of achatina var. obesa). Stoliczka (1871) mentioned that the largest shell was 35 mm in width. CHARACTERS OF THE GENITAL STRUCTURE. Two specimens were anatomically examined (NHMUK 20170152). Left ommatophoral retractor crosses penis and vagina; atrium very short; penis with a longer, cylindrical proximal, and a shorter, also cylindrical but slightly thicker distal portion; penis internally with approx. 10 longitudinal, serrate folds without calcareous granules; epiphallus slightly shorter than distal part of penis; internally with 4–5 strong, longitudinal folds; distal part of penis and epiphallus bound together with weak muscle fibres; a short, blunt penial caecum discernible; retractor muscle slender, flat, and inserts on penial caecum; vas deferens slender, even near its insertion to pedunculus; it is bound to distal part of penis and vagina by weak membrane; vagina approximately as long as penis, flattened at its curving point (this is the point where vaginal bulb is developed in some specimens), otherwise rather cylindrical; uterus with three large, elongated embryos in one specimen; diverticulum triangular, robust, short, bursa copulatrix with very long, slender stalk, bursa elongate oval; a long, club-like, easily weathering spermatophore was found in bursa; slender end of spermatophore curly; whole surface of spermatophore finely wrinkled; spermatophore internally not structured. RADULA. Centrals with small, triangular cusps; endocones of laterals wide ovoid with pointed tips; ectocones of first laterals much larger than centrals; ectocones of marginals undivided, endocones of marginals mostly undivided or divided by shallow incision. See also under radula of Plectopylis cyclaspis. Differential diagnosis See under P. anguina, P. cairnsi and P. linterae. Distribution The species has been reported from several southern localities in Myanmar. Georeferenced sites are known from the limestone hills of the Kayin and Mon States. Although many historical samples are recorded as from from Sri Lanka or Ceylon, these probably all represent erroneous localities on the labels (see also Fig. 12), because no plectopylid has been found in Sri Lanka recently (D. Raheem, pers. comm., 2017 January), and this distribution type is highly unlikely from a biogeographical point of view. Remarks Plectopylis achatina was described by L. Pfeiffer (1845) as “ Helix achatina Gray ”. However, Gray never described this taxon, so the author should be considered as Pfeiffer. For a long time this species was called Plectopylis achatina Pfeiffer, 1845. That name, however, was already occupied by Helix achatina Gmelin, 1791 (see Gmelin 1791). Therefore, Gude proposed the replacement name Plectopylis bensoni. The only remarkable difference between Plectopylis repercussa and P. bensoni is the strongly elongated upper branch of the lambda-complex in P. repercussa, which differs from the shorter upper branch of P. bensoni. This, however, does not allow the distinction of the two species, which otherwise do not differ in general shell shape. Moreover, P. bensoni var. repercussoides is described as an “intermediate between typical P. bensoni and P. repercussa ” (Gude 1914b). I therefore treat P. repercussa as a synonym of P. bensoni. One sample (“Attaram-Tal”, coll. Möllendorff, SMF 150092) had three shells with a somewhat elevated spire and a slightly keeled body whorl (similar to that of Plectopylis anguina). This sample might be a locally isolated form with peculiar shell characters.Published as part of Páll-Gergely, Barna, 2018, Systematic revision of the Plectopylinae (Gastropoda, Pulmonata, Plectopylidae), pp. 1-114 in European Journal of Taxonomy 455 on pages 79-85, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2018.455, http://zenodo.org/record/381770
STRATEGI PENGENDALIAN PENCEMARAN AIR SUNGAI GUDE PLOSO MENGGUNAKAN PEMODELAN QUAL2Kw
No full textWater pollution is a serious environmental problem caused by human activities, especially in urban and industrial areas. The Gude Ploso River in Jombang District, East Java, was the focus of the study due to the impact of pollution from household waste and the tofu industry. In order to control water pollution, QUAL2Kw modeling was used as a tool to identify major pollution sources, predict changes in water quality, and test the effectiveness of countermeasure strategies. This study revealed that the water quality of the Gude Ploso River has TSS, Phosphate, and COD parameters that still exceed the quality standards. The results of the calculation of pollutant load capacity show that the parameters Phosphate and COD at all sampling points have exceeded the maximum pollutant load capacity. The STORET method analysis also showed a moderate level of pollution with scores of -30, -20, -21, and -21 Various pollution control strategies were proposed, including monthly or quarterly monitoring of factories around the Gude Ploso river, conducting socialization and workshops for the surrounding community regarding concern for the Gude Ploso river, implementing phytoremediation at several river points, fostering NGOs around the river, and conducting water discharges when the river experiences drought. By implementing the right strategy, it is hoped that water pollution in the Gude Ploso River can be reduced, maintain the sustainability of the river ecosystem, and improve the quality of life of people who depend on these water resources
