Reflexiones sobre la Educación Ambiental con enfoque territorial en el marco del posconflicto colombiano

Desde el año 2016 Colombia camina, a pasos lentos, hacia un nuevo capítulo su historia: el posconflicto. Contexto que exhorta a (re)pensar el papel de los educadores ambientales. En ese orden, este artículo tiene como objetivo conocer el concepto que estudiantes de licenciatura en ciencias naturales y educación ambiental, en zonas de alto impacto por el conflicto armado interno, poseen sobre Desarrollo Sostenible, Territorio y Desarrollo Territorial, analizando como estos condicionan su praxis como educadores ambientales. Constatando la presencia de lógicas neoliberales, extractivistas e instrumentalistas del “desarrollo” en los estudiantes, que representan una preocupación frente a la implementación del acuerdo de paz que aboga por nuevas alternativas pos-desarrollistas inscritas en lógicas comunitarias, democráticas y participativas.
Human geography and socio-technical transition studies: Promising intersections

Abstract Transition researchers recognize increasingly the need to better address the role that spatial and geographical factors play in guiding the evolution of socio-technical and technological innovation systems. At the same time, some geographers are being drawn to transition studies as they strive to better understand the development trajectories of cities, industries, production networks, and economies. Building off these convergences, this paper proposes two interventions through which geographical ideas might further contribute to transitions research. The first focuses on conceptualizations of the socio-spatial dynamics through which TIS or niche contexts are coupled or aligned effectively with socio-technical regimes such that regime shifts become possible. The second brings the concept of place-making to bear on transition studies in order to analyze the political processes that shape the evolution of socio-technical systems. The paper closes with general arguments about ways to expand and diversify the geography-of-sustainability-transitions epistemic community.
Programmable high watermark in stack frame cache using second region as a storage if first region is full and an event having a predetermined minimum priority

A programmable high watermark for a stack frame cache for eliminating frame spills initiated by certain critical events. A stack frame cache in a microprocessor is divided into two regions. The second region in the stack frame cache is reserved for context switches initiated by high priority events. Low priority events will result in a frame spill when the first region of the stack frame cache is filled. A high priority event will utilize the second region of the stack frame cache for a context switch if the first region is filled, thus eliminating the need for a reference to off-chip main memory.
Analysis of surface anchored lattice plane orientation in blue phase liquid crystal and its in-plane electric field-dependent capacitance response

Uniformly oriented macroscopic monodomain of cholesteric blue phase liquid crystal has been realised by the influence of surface anchoring. Orientation of the lattice planes in surface-treated (ST) and non-surface-treated (NST) cell were analysed and compared by Kossel diagram technique. NST cell has revealed the green and blue domains corresponding to reflection from oriented (110) and (112) planes of the body-centred cubic lattice. However, in the ST cell only the lattice plane (110) oriented uniformly and tailored the macroscopic monodomain. Electric field driven reorientation of the (110) lattice plane was noticed in NST cell whereas for ST cell such reorientation was absent. Two distinct electric field-induced capacitive responses have been observed in the two different cells. In NST cell anomalous electrostriction was observed, whereas for ST cell normal electrostriction was observed. Interestingly, the capacitance has decreased with an increasing electric field for anomalous electrostriction in NST...
Analysis of Fracture Resistance of Endodontically Treated Teeth Restored with Different Post and Core System of Variable Diameters: An In Vitro Study

The restoration of endodontically treated teeth requires the fabrication of a post and core; to provide retention and support for the final crowns. The purpose of this study was to evaluate fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth restored with prefabricated zirconia post (CP), milled zirconia post (MZ), pressable ceramic post (PC) and cast metal post (Ni-Cr) of 1.4 and 1.7 mm diameter. 48 freshly extracted human maxillary central incisors were used for this study. The teeth were distributed in four groups of 12 teeth each. From each group, 6 teeth were selected for 1.4 mm diameter post and rest of the 6 teeth, is selected for 1.7 mm diameter post. All teeth were restored with metal crowns. Each specimen from the group was subjected to "load to fracture" in universal testing machine at 130° angle and the maximum load at failure was recorded. Statistically significant difference was found between the failure load of the groups studied. In group I (Ni-Cr)-1.4 mm diameter post and core recorded a maximum fracture load of 534.83 ± 1.28 N and 1.7 mm diameter post and core showed 294.33 ± 1.02 N. In group II (PC)-1.4 mm diameter post and core recorded a maximum fracture load of 205.33 ± 1.61 N and 1.7 mm post and core showed 375.00 ± 1.57 N. In group III (CP)-1.4 mm diameter post and cores recorded a maximum fracture load of 313.00 ± 0.73 N and 1.7 mm post and core showed 638.67 ± 0.81 N. In group IV (MZ)-1.4 mm diameter post and cores recorded a maximum fracture load of 312.00 ± 0.86 N and 1.7 mm post and core showed 415.00 ± 0.89 N. Prefabricated zirconia post (1.7 mm) with pressable ceramic core (Cosmo post)-exhibited higher fracture resistance. Milled zirconia and prefabricated zirconia post-showed same value with 1.4 mm diameter post. Pressable ceramic post and core showed satisfactory result with 1.7 mm post, but showed lesser values with 1.4 mm diameter post.
Russia's Interest in Trading with the "Axis of Evil"

The puzzle is why a Russia that has improved its relations with the United States and Western Europe, that has supported the United States in the fight against the Taliban and Al Qaeda in Central Asia, and that seeks membership in the World Trade Organization (WTO) and to attract foreign investment would maintain and even deepen trade with North Korea, Iran, and Iraq— countries with regimes that reject market economics and democracy. Furthermore, Russian trade with Iran and Iraq, in particular, appears to support those regimes in their pursuit of what the United States believes to be policies to acquire weapons of mass destruction and the means for their use. This apparent contradiction suggests that Russia does not hold as a priority economic transformation, international integration, and fundamental cooperation with the United States and its Western allies. It suggests, some have argued, that Russia’s true purpose is a new round of competition with the United States, determined by great power ambitions rather than Soviet ideology.

Geographical Assessment of the Impact of MGNREGS Created Common Property Resources on Gender: A Ground Based Discussion

MGNREGS is a much discussed rural development scheme currently operational in all rural districts of India. It’s vast extension and decentralized nature of planning has made it special to Indian economy. Employment related aspects of this scheme has always remain the focus of discussion since its inception. However, little attempts have been made to relate MGNREGS created CPRs and gender. This paper provides an empirical research on the impact of MGNREGS generated CPRs on gender. The impact is assessed through a structured questionnaire and the identification of mostly used CPRs across gender. The degree of ease of livelihood and the utilization pattern of these CPRs are different across gender in study area. In the last section, this paper provides suggestions regarding the improvement of the gendered access of CPRs and its sustainable use.
Influences of Lake Malawi on the spatial and diurnal variability of local precipitation

Abstract. We investigate how the intensity and spatial distribution of precipitation vary around Lake Malawi on a diurnal timescale, which can be valuable information for water resource management in tropical south-eastern African nations. Using a state-of-the-art satellite product and regional atmospheric model, the well-defined diurnal cycle is detected around Lake Malawi with harmonic and principle component analyses: the precipitation is intense during midnight to morning over Lake Malawi and the precipitation peaks in the daytime over the surrounding area. This diurnal cycle in the precipitation around the lake is associated with the lake–land breeze circulation. Comparisons between the benchmark simulation and an idealized simulation in which Lake Malawi is removed reveal that the diurnal variations in precipitation are substantially amplified by the presence of Lake Malawi. This is most evident over the lake and surrounding coastal regions. Lake Malawi also enhances the lake–land breeze circulation; the nocturnal lakeward land breeze generates surface convergence effectively and precipitation intensifies over the lake. Conversely, the daytime landward lake breeze generates the intense divergence over the lake and precipitation is strongly depressed over the lake. The lake–land breeze and the background vapour enriched by Lake Malawi drive primarily a diurnal variation in the surface moisture flux divergence/convergence over the lake and surrounding area which contributes to the diurnal cycle of precipitation in this region.

Non-fragile guaranteed-cost controller design for the networked control systems with network-induced time delay

Considering that the feedback gain is of additive norm-bounded uncertainties, based on linear matrix inequality (LMI), a design method of non-fragile guaranteed-cost controller for the networked control systems (NCS) with network-induced time delay is discussed in this paper. A sufficient condition of such controller is presented in LMI forms. The controller parameters can be obtained by solving the LMI. A numerical example is then given to illustrate the effectiveness of the designed method, that is, the designed nonfragile guaranteed-cost controller ensures the NCS asymptotically stable and the upper bound of the cost function value in expectation can also be obtained, while the NCS controlled by the robust guaranteed-cost controller will be unstable with respect to the uncertainties in the controller gain.
Relation between Labour Productivity and Export Competitiveness of Indian Textile Industry: Co-integration and Causality Approach

The most important factor impacting the export competitiveness (EC) of an industry is productivity trends. One such significant variable of productivity can be labour productivity (LP). The purpose of this article is to examine the relationship between LP and EC for the Indian textile industry in the post-liberalization period, that is, from 1991 to 2015. The present study uses Johansen and Juselius test for examining the co-integration between select variables and reveals the long-run relationship between the select variables for Indian textile industry. The study uses Granger causality test to explain the direction of causation between the select variables for the analysis. The results of the present study show the absence of feedback effects among the variables, and only unidirectional causality is found. The result of the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) reveals that there is no long-run or short-run causality running from independent variable to dependent variable. The diagnostic tests are performed, and the result indicates that the model has the property of goodness of fit. The study recommends that the productivity-based wages policy should be implemented by textile firms.
Disruption of Circadian Rhythms: A Crucial Factor in the Etiology of Depression

Circadian factors might play a crucial role in the etiology of depression. It has been demonstrated that the disruption of circadian rhythms by lighting conditions and lifestyle predisposes individuals to a wide range of mood disorders, including impulsivity, mania and depression. Also, associated with depression, there is the impairment of circadian rhythmicity of behavioral, endocrine, and metabolic functions. Inspite of this close relationship between both processes, the complex relationship between the biological clock and the incidence of depressive symptoms is far from being understood. The efficiency and the timing of treatments based on chronotherapy (e.g., light treatment, sleep deprivation, and scheduled medication) indicate that the circadian system is an essential target in the therapy of depression. The aim of the present review is to analyze the biological and clinical data that link depression with the disruption of circadian rhythms, emphasizing the contribution of circadian desynchrony. Therefore, we examine the conditions that may lead to circadian disruption of physiology and behavior as described in depressive states, and, according to this approach, we discuss therapeutic strategies aimed at treating the circadian system and depression.
TRANSMISSION SYSTEM FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE

Transmission system for a motor vehicle, comprising - two input shafts (1 1, 12), - a mainshaft (15), - an output shaft (5), - a clutch arrangement (40) for connecting alternately said input shafts (1 1, 12), - a first power transmission shaft (A1 ) provided with at least a first gearwheel (K1 b) which is in engagement with a gearwheel (K17a) situated on either of the input shafts, and a second gearwheel (K3a) which is in engagement with a gearwheel (35b) situated on the mainshaft, and - a second power transmission shaft (A1 ) provided with at least a first gearwheel (K4b) which is in engagement with a gearwheel (K4a) situated on either of the input shafts, and a second gearwheel (K5a) which is connected or connectable to said gearwheel (K35b) on the mainshaft via an intermediate gearwheel (K5c) to allow the establishment of a power transfer path for a reverse gear via these gearwheels (K5a, K5c, K35b).
Farm income, population and farmland prices: a relative information approach

This paper uses an entropy-based information approach to determine if farmland values are more closely associated with urban pressure or farm income. The basic question is: how much information on changes in farm real estate values is contained in changes in population versus changes in returns to production agriculture? Results suggest population is informative, but changes in farmland values are more strongly associated with changes in the distribution of returns. However, this relationship is not true for every region nor does it hold over time, as for some regions and time periods changes in population are more informative. Results have policy implications for both equity and efficiency.
Virtual image holographic optical elements for windscreens, enabling the next generation of automobile head-up displays

Head-up Displays (HUDs) represent the next generation of information display in cars. Every major automotive manufacturer
(OEM) is seeking low-cost, compact HUDs that can display information across a wide field of view (FOV). Analysts predict an $11.8 billion market opportunity by 2025.

However, existing solutions based on conventional optics cannot meet these market needs. Using current technology, a
HUD covering the driver’s FOV would be too bulky for all but the largest vehicles and cost €4000+.

At Ceres, we have broken the link between size and performance by replacing part of the complex HUD optics with a
photopolymer Holographic Optical Element (HOE) laminated within a vehicle windshield. This dramatically reduces the size
of the HUD unit, allowing 'windshield display' HUDs to be fitted to any vehicle.

Our primary customer, a major European OEM, has successfully demonstrated our technology in full size windscreen
laminated prototypes. They are now so excited by the technology’s potential that they have a stated aim to fit at least 2
million of the 1st generation VIEW-AHEAD HUDs across their vehicle range by 2025.

However, to manufacture in volumes required by the market we must adapt our latest flat-bed replication machine to work on
a continuous reel-to-reel basis and prove the HOE integration with the windshield interlayer material and final lamination
process. Our prospective customers are asking for volume manufacture to be demonstrated before 2021, meaning we
urgently need to accelerate the development of the manufacturing technology.

With help from Horizon 2020, we will deliver a game-changing technology to a hungry market, resulting in cumulative sales
of over 3.9 million HOE units by 2025. Across multiple revenue streams we anticipate turnover of €162m and net profits of
€93m cumulative within 3 years, with over €2.6 billion revenue across the supply chain.

A cost-effective process for methanisation of unexploited agricultural waste.

Context Biogas production level in the EU has grown considerably in the past ten years to over 16 Mtoe, with optimistic forecasts predicting that by 2030 Europe will produce over 40 Mtoe.   Problem The production of biomethane from organic waste matter faces a series of practical problems which are holding back its growth: - Cannot treat all wastes. Straw waste represents a massive biogas potential, but less than 5% is currently used for Biogas production. - Foreign objects often enter into the system, causing damage and increasing maintenace costs - Have high energy costs  - Require several treatment stages, which increase the CAPEX and OPEX. Solution – the DualMetha Plant We have developed and patented a simplified, biomethane production process that: • cuts down some of the waste pre-treatment stages,  • allows for the methanation of all types of biomass including straw,  • does not break when foreign objects are introduced  • and has low OPEX (50% less in maintenance, wear, repairs, electricity costs). DualMetha represents the opportunity to turn unexploited organic waste into biogas.  The aim of the phase 1 project is to improve our understanding of the EU market for Biogas, identifying regional market variations in terms of purchase decision makers, appropriate business models, pricing structure and identifying which are the most attractive markets for us to use as a beachhead. We estimate that, only considering crop residual waste (straw) that DualMetha plants could supply 80Mtoe. We aim to install 75 plants by 2025.
Mountain Ecosystem Services: Who Cares?

Abstract Mountain regions provide diverse goods and services to human society. At the same time, mountain ecosystems are sensitive to rapid global development. Over the past 2 decades the number of papers mentioning “ecosystem services” (ESS) has risen exponentially. While the concept holds great potential to improve the societal relevance of conservation efforts, it is at risk of dying of misuse and reduction to a buzzword. The definitions of the term often compete and the utility of the concept is under debate. The present article reviews the literature on mountain ESS to investigate whether the term was understood correctly by the community, and addresses the question whether ESS is a suitable concept to protect mountain regions. We link land use and other physical properties of terrestrial ecosystems with their capacity to provide ESS with a view to mapping the global supply of ESS and we contrast it with population density data as a proxy for the demand for ESS. The spatially explicit assessment show...
L’envers du spectacle: quatre énigmes picturales de Marguerite Duras

Marguerite Duras’s work has been widely studied for the ambiguous nature of the images she uses in her narratives and films. However, little research has been devoted to another type of iconic medium present in her texts: paintings. This article explores four pictorial works exploited in her fiction: the Etruscan motives of The Little Horses of Tarquinia, the paintings of Francisco Goya in Ten-thirty ona Summer Night, the “Annunciation” by Fra Angelico in the Sailor from Gibraltar and the prehistoric drawings in Les Mains negatives (Negative Hands). Starting from a thorough analysis of the nature and role of these artistic components, the study explores how Duras reflects through them her rejection of representation and her conception of writing.
