The Root Causes of the Crisis in Northeast Nigeria: Historical, Socioeconomic and Environmental Dimensions
Authors: Kamta Frederic Noel , Azadi Hossein , Scheffran Jürgen
Published: May 2020

Nigeria is confronted with numerous conflicts throughout the country. In the northeast part, a humanitarian crisis has been playing out for the past ten years, mostly caused by the insurgency of the Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram. In this paper, we examine the root causes of the crisis based on its historical, socioeconomic and environmental dimensions. We examine available literature and draw conclusions and recommendations based on interviews that we conducted with experts in Nigeria. The results show that even though poverty may constitute a strong reason for many youths to join the insurgency, it is not a sufficient factor to explain the conflict. Furthermore, the results also show that the historical legacy of northeast Nigeria as well as the socioeconomic neglect of the region and its harsh environmental conditions may have created favorable conditions for the current crisis. We recommend a reinforced education system that significantly increases school attendance and that aims at educating young individuals on the historical legacy of the region. The identification of the various conflict actors in order to better understand the reasons behind their involvement is also recommended. In conclusion, the causal link between poverty, environmental change and past history contributing to the region’s crisis is not easily drawn, but the evidence suggests that the lack of economic opportunities and the lack of education may contribute to the development of the conflict that leads to the crisis.
Activity and Thermodynamic Parameters of Urease Enzymes in Soils Treated with Some Heavy Metals Under Different Temperatures and Moisture Levels
Authors: Tfaij Ali L. , Al-Ansari Abdul Mehdi S. , Al- Jaberi Meiad M.
Published: May 2020

Incubation studies were conducted to reveal effected heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) add at critical concentrations to soils with different texture on urease activity and thermodynamic parameters (Ea and Q10) incubated under different temperatures (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70) °C for 14 days under field capacity and waterlogged moisture levels. Urease activity was measured and thermodynamic parameters were calculated. Results showed that the urease activity increased with increasing temperature of incubation from 10 to 50°C then the activity decreased as temperature increased above 50°C at both moisture levels and at all heavy metals treatments. Increasing moisture level from field capacity to water-logged significantly (P=0.05) decreased urease activity, while increased Ea value, at all heavy metals treatments. The soil texture significantly affected urease activity and thermodynamic parameters (Ea and Q10). Results also indicated that effect of heavy metals on urease and thermodynamic parameters differed according to the soil temperature and the moisture level.
Some Families of Trees Arising in Permutation Analysis
Authors: Bouvel Mathilde , Mishna Marni , Nicaud Cyril
Published: May 2020

We extend classical results on simple varieties of trees (asymptotic enumeration, average behavior of tree parameters) to trees counted by their number of leaves.  Motivated by genome comparison of related species, we then apply these results to strong interval trees with a restriction on the arity of prime nodes.  Doing so, we describe a filtration of the set of permutations based on their strong interval trees.  This filtration is also studied from a purely analytical point of view, thus illustrating the convergence of analytic series towards a non-analytic limit at the level of the asymptotic behavior of their coefficients.
Erdős–Ko–Rado Theorem for a Restricted Universe
Authors: Frankl Peter
Published: May 2020

A family $\mathcal F$ of $k$-element subsets of the $n$-element set $[n]$ is called \emph{intersecting} if $F \cap F'\neq \emptyset$ for all $F, F' \in \mathcal F$. In 1961 Erdős, Ko and Rado showed that $|\mathcal F| \leq {n - 1\choose k - 1}$ if $n \geq 2k$. Since then a large number of resultső providing best possible upper bounds on $|\mathcal F|$ under further restraints were proved. The paper of Li et al. is one of them. We consider the restricted universe $\mathcal W = \left\{F \in {[n]\choose k}: |F \cap [m]| \geq \ell \right\}$, $n \geq 2k$, $m \geq 2\ell$ and determine $\max |\mathcal F|$ for intersecting families $\mathcal F \subset \mathcal W$. Then we use this result to solve completely the problem considered by Li et al.
Honeycombs for Hall Polynomials
Authors: Zinn-Justin Paul
Published: May 2020

We propose a new formulation of Hall polynomials in terms of honeycombs, which were previously introduced in the context of the Littlewood–Richardson rule. We prove a Pieri rule and associativity for our honeycomb formula, thus showing equality with Hall polynomials. Our proofs are linear algebraic in nature, extending nontrivially the corresponding bijective results for ordinary Littlewood–Richardson coefficients [A. Knutson, T. Tao, C. Woodward, 2004].
Krisen, lange Wellen und die Weltsystemtheorie
Authors: Komlosy Andrea
Published: May 2020

Abstract Ausgangspunkt meiner Überlegungen bildet die aktuelle Umbruchphase der Weltwirtschaft.1 Die Krise von 2008 scheint zwar vordergründig durch neues Wachstum überwunden, zur Stabilität ist die Weltwirtschaft allerdings keineswegs zurückgekehrt.
Im Gegenteil: Die Nachwirkungen der letzten Krise halten reichhaltiges Anschauungsmaterial für den Katastrophencharakter von Krisen bereit, die von der Sphäre des Ökonomischen ins Soziale und Politische umschlagen. Es bietet sich allerdings auch die Möglichkeit, Krisen
und Umbrüche als Wendepunkte, als Chancen für den Übergang zu einer sozial gerechteren Weltwirtschaft zu begreifen. Um diese Chancen auszuloten, kann der Vergleich mit früheren großen Krisen – 1973/74, 1929, 1873 – hilfreich sein.
Globalisierung des Rechts: Regulierungsregime Luftrecht
Authors: W. Otto Dietrich
Published: May 2020

Abstract Kann man sich einen Ort auf dem Globus vorstellen, an dem weder Recht oder Rechtsordnungen – wertfrei verstanden – existieren? Die Frage nach der Globalisierung des Rechts sowie von Rechtsdenken ist dabei kein neues Phänomen,1 wobei zur Analyse seines
Entwicklungsprozesses die Rechtsgeschichte heranzuziehen ist. Den Begriff ,,Globalisierung“ findet man hier sehr spät in der Diskussion darüber, ob es in der Rechtsgeschichte einen Entwicklungsprozess zu einem einheitlichen globalen Verständnis des Rechts gegeben hat.
Zunächst erscheint lediglich das Konzept der ,,europäischen“ Rechtsgeschichte, welche nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges aus eurozentrischer Sicht entwickelt wurde. 2 Jüngere Diskussionen verlangen eine neue, globale Betrachtungsweise, welche durch die Entwicklung einer
methodologisch reflektierten transnationalen Rechtsgeschichte offen zu sein hat für eine globale Sicht, welche Europa immer noch eine wichtige regionale, aber nicht alles überragende Rolle einräumt.3 Der Vorschlag, die Forschung in der Rechtsgeschichte auf transnationale, letztendlich
globale Rechtsräume zu richten,4 erlaubt die Offenheit für auch andere Konzepte.
Jamaikanische Missionare an der kamerunischen Küste am Vorabend der deutschen Kolonisierung (1844–1887)
Authors: Márquez García Ricardo
Published: May 2020

Abstract ,,Die protestantische Mission entwickelte sich aus der eng mit der Abolitionsbewegung verknüpften evangelikalen Erweckungsbewegung. Dabei ist es eine besondere Ironie der Geschichte, dass ausgerechnet die Abolitionisten in gewisser Weise zu den Wegbereitern
der kolonialen Expansion in Afrika gehörten. Die Abschaffung des Sklavenhandels hatte […] zu einer Intensivierung der Sklaverei in Afrika geführt. Der Aufruf der Missionare zum Kampf gegen die Sklaverei und tyrannische Sklavenhalter bot wiederum einen zentralen Vorwand für
europäische Mächte, in Afrika zu intervenieren.“2
Trabalho escravo im Amazonasgebiet: Peripherisierung, unfreie Arbeit und Weltmarkt

Abstract Trabalho escravo1 (übersetzt: Sklavenarbeit) ist der in Brasilien benutzte und rechtlich verankerte Begriff für eine bestimmte Form von unfreier Arbeit im 20. und 21. Jahrhundert. Nach der üblichsten Schätzung sind es in Brasilien
ca. 25.000 Personen, die jährlich in Trabalho escravo geraten.2 In diesem Artikel werden die globalen Zusammenhänge von Trabalho escravo in Pará, einem peripheren Bundesstaat in Brasiliens Amazonasgebiet, anhand eines konkreten Beispiels – der Firma Vale,
einem der größten Bergbauunternehmen der Welt – nachgezeichnet. Dafür müssen sowohl historische Entwicklungen, die Einbindung der Region in den Weltmarkt als auch die Funktionsweise von Produktionsketten mitbedacht werden.
Als der Kaiser den Dschihad erfand. Zur »Revolutionierung « des islamischen Orients durch das Deutsche Reich im Ersten Weltkrieg
Authors: G. Nagel Jürgen
Published: May 2020

Abstract Das Jahr, in dem sich das Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs zum 100. Mal jährt, neigt sich selbst dem Ende entgegen, während diese Zeilen geschrieben werden.1 Die zahlreichen Gedenk- und Erinnerungsaktivitäten der vergangenen vier Jahre haben auch
ein Thema wieder ins öffentliche Licht gerückt, das lange allenfalls als Marginalie oder Anekdote der Weltgeschichte behandelt wurde: die Orientpolitik des Deutschen Reichs zwischen 1914 und 1918. Diese Wiederentdeckung, die in der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung markanter ausfiel
als in der fachwissenschaftlichen Forschung, war nicht nur der Tatsache geschuldet, dass historische Jubiläen zur Spurensuche in allen erdenklichen Ecken Anlass geben. Es war auch die tagespolitische Situation der letzten Jahre, die ihren Anteil beisteuerte. Weltkriegsgedenken und aktuelle
Dschihadismuserfahrung trafen aufeinander und ließen mit dem unsäglichen Begriff »Dschihad des Kaisers« eine weitverbreitete Schlagzeile entstehen, die weit über Studierstuben und Archive hinaus Aufmerksamkeit erregen konnte.

Abstract Kleinschmidt rekonstruiert einen Zustand der Migration, in dem Gastrecht und Siedelrecht zwei verschieden Rechtsbereiche waren; aus dem allgemeinen Gastrecht also nicht automatisch das Recht zum Siedeln folgte. Die Veränderung macht er in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts
fest und verdeutlicht sie an dem Fall schiffbrüchiger Japaner, die 1834 an der Küste Oregons antrieben und von den Angehörigen des dort wohnenden indianischen Stammes als Gäste aufgenommen wurden. Mehrere amerikanische und britische Versuche, einen dieser Japaner als Mittel
zur ,,Öffnung“ Japans einzusetzen, misslangen, aber an seinem Recht als Gast in fremden Ländern zu leben gab es keinen Zweifel. 1906 dagegen strandete ein amerikanisches Schiff an der britischen Westküste. Die Schiffbrüchigen kamen ohne Papiere (die mit dem Schiff
versunken waren) in einen kleinen Hafen und wurden wegen Verstoßes gegen den 1905 erlassenen ,,Aliens Act“ festgesetzt. Sie wurden nach einer Intervention des amerikanischen Botschafters begnadigt und mussten keine Strafe zahlen, ,,obwohl“ sie sich für ihren Schiffbruch
einen zur Einwanderungskontrolle nicht zugelassenen Hafen ausgesucht und außerdem nicht als erstes ihre Papiere gerettet hatten (sondern nur das ,,nackte“ Leben). Die Gegenüberstellung macht die Veränderung deutlich: die Natürlichkeit, mit der Gestrandete als Gäste
in einer ,,alten“ Gesellschaft aufgenommen wurden, und das Bedürfnis, Einwanderung zu kontrollieren, in einer ,,modernen“.

Abstract In der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts stellte die weltweite europäische Dominanz auch für Siam (ab 1939 Thailand) eine Herausforderung dar. Insbesondere durch Großbritannien und Frankreich sah sich Siam bedroht und reagierte mit umfassenden
Reformen in der Innen- und Außenpolitik. Die Öffnung des Landes gegenüber dem Westen und die Aneignung europäischer Symbolpolitik als Bestandteile eines Herrschaftssystems waren Innovationen in der siamesischen Politik während der Amtszeit der Könige Mongkut
(1851– 1868) und Chulalongkorn (1868–1910).

Published: May 2020

The problem of litigation and disputes in the construction sector is a major impediment to a country’s development goals. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the problem of high legal costs and long delays that arise due to litigation involving project owners, designers, contractors and other construction parties worldwide and in Saudi Arabia, as well as give recommendation according to the outcomes of this research. The causes of litigious behavior in Saudi Arabia and around the world were identified and documented; also the differences in litigation of the Saudi Arabian construction industry as compared to other countries were identified. Preliminary investigations revealed that there is some level of similarity in the nature of the causes. Thus, these causes were grouped into three main categories, which are expectation factors, communications factors and documentation factors. Further research based on existing literature showed that the practices used to minimize litigation in the construction industry were investigated. The following delivery processes were researched: Design-Build (DB) Delivery Method, Alliance Contracting, Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR), Best Value Model (BVM), Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) and the Best Value Performance Information Procurement System (BV PIPS). Many of these delivery methods were found to have issues, which means the methods by observation do not seem to be the ideal solution to minimize litigation in the construction industry. The only delivery method found to have no litigation issues was the BV PIPS approach.

Type specimens from the collection of beetles (Coleoptera) deposited in the Department of Entomology, National Museum, Prague, are currently being catalogued. In this part of the catalogue dealing with the Staphylinini subtribe Philonthina (Staphylinidae: Staphylininae) we present information on types of 278 species level taxa. Except for the general collection, the type material comes mostly from the recently acquired collection of the late Lubomír Hromádka. A new substitute name, Philonthus acervulus nom. nov., is proposed for Philonthus zosterops Hromádka, 2013, a junior primary homonym of Philonthus zosterops Hromádka, 2011. One new combination is established: Eccoptolonthus terezae (Hromádka, 2016) comb. nov. from Pseudohesperus Hayashi, 2008. Philonthus zosterops Hromádka, 2011 is synonymized with P. mesophoyx Hromádka, 2016, syn. nov. Correct original spellings of Philonthus terathopius Hromádka, 2012 and Philonthus crecopsis Hromádka, 2013 are fixed. The type locality and distribution of Philonthus camelus Hromádka, 2008 is corrected from Tanzania: Kilimandjaro to the Republic of the Congo: Bouansa.

Summary. Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type I (CRPS I) (G90.5) is a set of condi- tions accompanied by regional pain that is disproportionate in time and degree relative to the normal course of the post-traumatic period or other lesion, does not correspond to the zones of innervation of certain nerves or nerve roots and is usually manifested by sensory, motor, vasomotor, and/or trophic disorders in distal extremities. A multidisciplinary consensus on the basic principles of diagnosis and treatment of complex regional pain syndrome type 1 was adopted at a round table meeting at the XVIII Congress of Orthope- dists Traumatologists of Ukraine in Ivano-Frankivsk on October 10, 2019.Principles of diagnosis and treatment:1) Individual approach taking into account the leading pathogenetic mechanisms of the disease.2) Control over the total number of appointments.3) Using the Bruehl, Atkins or Veldman criteria to diagnose CRPS I.The treatment influence the following links of the pathogenesis of the disease or indi- vidual symptoms: a) inflammation – DMSO (compresses), corticosteroids (short course), b) pain – gabapentin or pregabalin, in case of low effect – antidepressants (in case of no effect – pain treatment by using subanesthetic doses of ketamine, narcotic analge- sics, implantation of neurostimulants or pumps for intrathecal drug administration or sympathetic blocks); c) central nervous system training (mirror therapy, imaging and behavioral therapy, etc.); d) reduction of fear of movements and pain; e) anti-edema and venotonic agents; f) vitamin C; g) activation of the affected limb with increase in range of movements, muscle strength and load tolerance (immobilization only accord- ing to strict indications); с) transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the nerves, ultra high frequency (UHF) in impulse mode and oligothermal dose; i) surgical interventions - surgical treatment is indicated for CRPS type II; for CRPS type I it is indicated in cases where such treatment is intended to eliminate the trigger for CRPS development with adequate multimodal anesthesia/analgesia.

Published: May 2020

Summary. Relevance. Negative results of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction occur in 10-20% of cases. The incidence of infectious arthritis can reach up to 1.7% and even up to 7.1%, according to the literature. However, ACL reconstruction can be complicated not only by infectious but also by reactive arthritis. Differential diagnosis between infectious and reactive arthritis is often hard to be done, but it is necessary for effective treatment. Objective: to determine the possible causes of the development of reactive and infectious arthritis after ACL reconstruction, peculiarities of their diagnostics and differential diagnostics. Materials and Methods. The literature data regarding the frequency of reactive and infectious arthritis after various methods of surgical treatment of ACL injury and the use of different types of implants, as well as laboratory indicators of the activity of the inflammatory process in the postoperative period and such indicators in reactive and infectious arthritis, were analyzed. We also analyzed literature data on the sensitivity and specificity of various methods of microbiological studies in patients with infectious synovitis or arthritis. Results. Numerous probable causes of a higher incidence of infectious arthritis in ACL reconstruction are suspected. Synthetic implants may be the cause of the development of reactive arthritis, according to a number of studies. Our experience in using different biodegradable fixators from various manufacturers suggest that the percentage of complications depends not only on the fact of the biodegradability of the implant, but on its composition, and even on the percentage of tricalcium phosphate or the manufacturer. Therefore, it is impossible to unambiguously state that biodegradable fixators are worse or better then metallic or non-biodegradable polymeric ones. However, on average, if we consider all existing fixators from various manufacturers, the number of complications when using biodegradable implants is higher. Diagnosis of reactive arthritis is often based on negative bacteriological findings. Given the not always high sensitivity of bacteriological inoculation of synovial fluid and the duration of the investigation, we cannot rely only on its results. Conclusions. The most difficult for differential diagnosis between infectious and reactive arthritis (synovitis) is acute synovitis after ACL reconstruction with normal results of bacteriological studies, but high biochemical parameters of inflammation. We suggest to suspect infectious arthritis after ACL reconstruction in the following hemogram values: 1) CRP >40-50 mg/l, 2) ESR >30-50 mm/h, 3) fibrinogen >800 mg/ml, 4) procalcitonin in blood plasma >0.5 ng/ml, 5) leukocytosis and left shift of the leukocyte formula, with the following synovial fluid test parameters: a) CRP >40-50 mg/l, b) leukocytosis with an increase in the percentage of polymorphonuclear leukocytes >75%.
Features of the Metabolism of Organic and Inorganic Matrix of Bone Tissue in Patients with Degenerative-Dystrophic Changes in the Hip Joint

Published: May 2020

Summary. In 77 patients (37 men and 40 women) of different age groups who underwent hip joint replacement, the content of calcium, phosphorus, creatinine, alkaline phosphatase and hydroxyproline in blood serum was determined. The results of a study of biochemical markers showed the predominance of osteoporotic processes in patients of elder age groups, as is evidenced by an increase in the level of free hydroxyproline and a decrease in protein-bound hydroxyproline in blood serum, as well as by an increase in the level of hydroxyproline in daily urine excretion compared with reference indices. A decrease in calcium excretion with age both in men and women can be associated with a decrease in calcium intake and its absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, which is typical for the elderly. Calcium has the greatest importance in metabolic disorders of bone tissue. Maintaining the normal state of bones in adults is associated with continuously ongoing process called “bone remodeling”. Violation of remodeling in the direction of increasing bone resorption and reducing bone formation is considered as the main reason for the development of osteoporosis. The processes of bone formation and resorption are displayed in the blood and urine at the level of various enzymes from bone tissue, by products of bone matrix synthesis or cell destruction products. Biochemical markers of osteoporosis manifestations are specific, expressing bone synthesis and resorption processes. The violations of bone metabolism reflect most objectively not the absolute indicators of mineral metabolism and metabolites of the main bone tissue protein (collagen), but the coefficient of their ratios.

Published: May 2020

Summary. Relevance. The treatment of the consequences of intraarticular injuries of fingers is still one of the problems that requires further solution. Objective: to improve the results of surgical treatment of post-traumatic persistent contractures of the interphalangeal joints of the fingers. Materials and Methods. To analyze the effectiveness of the proposed treatment approach The results of treatment of 77 patients with post-traumatic contractures of the joints of the fingers, distributed into clinical groups and subgroups, depending on the severity of the injuries and the type of applied clinical rehabilitation program, were analyzed. Patients of the main groups were treated according to the proposed clinical rehabilitation program, indicators were analyzed before treatment, 3 months and 1 year after treatment using a point system for assessing the functional state of the hand and the QuickDASH scale. Results. According to the results of the analysis of 77 patients with the consequences of injuries of the interphalangeal joints using 2 systems for assessing the function of the interphalangeal joints, it was found that treatment of severe and moderate arthrogenic contractures with the method of distraction arthroplasty and corrective osteotomy improves functional results by achieving congruent relationships in joints and mobilization of the ligamentous apparatus. Conclusions. Comprehensive treatment according to the proposed clinical rehabilitation program allows to increase the number of immediate positive results in the main subgroups of both groups to 22 (68.8%) versus 5 (11.1%) in the comparison subgroups (p<0.001) on a rating scale, and excellent and good results on the QuickDASH scale up to 20 (62.5%) and 12 (37.5%) versus 1 (2.2%) and 41 (91.1%) cases, respectively (p<0.001). When studying the long-term results of surgical treatment of arthrogenic contractures of the interphalangeal joints, positive results were obtained in 37 (63.8%) patients, satisfactory in 20 (34.5%) and unsatisfactory in 1 (1.7%) case according to the rating scale; 27 (46.6%) excellent, 30 (51.7%) good and 1 (1.7%) satisfactory results showed QuickDASH scale.
Sobre el látigo
Authors: Gómez Castellano Irene
Published: May 2020

En una de las escenas más conocidas de la Sonata de otoño (1902) de Ramón María del Valle Inclán, el Marqués de Bradomín, un irresistible y maduro “don juan feo, católico y sentimental,” le pide a su amada Concha “¡Azótame, Concha!, ¡Azótame como a un divino Nazareno!” (...) ¡Azótame hasta morir!”. Tras esta petición Concha, ya muy enferma, muere sin confesión en medio del acto sexual. El placer de la literaria pareja y el de los lectores es magnificado por la fusión erótico-religiosa del discurso, presidido por un imaginario látigo de cabello que, en vez de dar dolor, acaricia. Este transgresor látigo hecho de cabello es un perfecto emblema de la fusión estética que se produce a partir del siglo XVIII entre lo erótico y lo religioso en la percepción social de la penitencia física, especialmente la que gira alrededor del látigo y sus variantes.
Galdós y Tolstoi
Authors: Navajas Gonzalo
Published: May 2020

El siglo XIX genera una extensa narrativa en torno al hecho de la guerra y el modo en que la guerra determina el núcleo más intrínseco y definitorio de la comunidad nacional. Los casos de León Tolstoi y Benito Pérez Galdós son ilustrativos de este modo de narración en torno a la guerra y del análisis y cuestionamiento de los principios legitimizadores de la agresión bélica para la obtención de unos fines políticos. A partir del análisis de obras determinantes de ambos autores, desde Guerra y paz a Trafalgar y Bailén en particular, el trabajo muestra que ambos autores destacan los elementos de destructividad y crueldad de la guerra que no pueden enmascararse, como en otros momentos de la historia, con la grandilocuencia épica. Al mismo tiempo, los actos de conducta sobrehumana y extraordinaria que la guerra segrega pueden reconceptualizarse para fundamentar un paradigma nuevo de la nación como un hogar o Heimat subliminalmente inclusivo. Dentro de él, todos sus miembros podrían sentirse instalados y reconocerse, al menos ocasionalmente, en episodios excepcionales, como Bailén o Borodino, y compartir una misma visión de acontecimientos que siguen siendo susceptibles de una hermenéutica histórica fluida y abierta.

Introducción
EMILIA PARDO BAZÁN Y RAMÓN LLULL
Authors: DuPont Denise
Published: May 2020

Este artículo trata lo espiritual, la colonización de América y el sueño de África en los escritos de Emilia Pardo Bazán (1851-1921), centrándose en sus lecturas del filósofo mallorquín Ramón Llull (1212-1316) en San Francisco de Asís: siglo XIII (1882) y “Los franciscanos y Colón” (1892). Para la coruñesa, Llull era un caballero andante del amor, la fe, la razón y la misión: las misiones franciscanas funcionan como tela de fondo para su discusión del místico polímata, que era terciario franciscano. La idea llulliana de la evangelización trazada por la escritora, forma el marco para una visión del imperio que cede su protagonismo a las antiguas colonias que se han hecho fértiles para la extensión del amor evangélico. Si la difusión cultural es típica en la historia del cristianismo, el auge de los territorios que antes pertenecían a España frente a la decadencia de ésta era de esperar, y Pardo Bazán tendría que aceptar la alteración ya que entendía las dinámicas de la misión. El cambio no dejaba de ser doloroso para una persona tan patriótica como ella, pero tampoco era sorprendente, igual que no lo es hoy en día.

El presente estudio se centra en el análisis contextualizado de siete documentos conservados en el Archivo del político Antonio Maura en un periodo cronológico de notable relevancia, pues abarcan desde la Semana Trágica de Barcelona (26 de julio / 2 de agosto de 1909) hasta el final de la Gran Guerra Europea (1914-1918). Las seis cartas y una nota se centran en los últimos años de vida de la escritora americanista Emilia Serrano, Baronesa de Wilson (¿1833?-1923), e ilustran aspectos relacionados con el activismo socio-político y cívico femenino y con la construcción de la figura de la escritora patriota. Frente a procesos vinculados con la panteonalización de algunos escritores en el Estado liberal, la documentación hallada en el Archivo de Antonio Maura demuestra los infructuosos intentos por lograr un tratamiento similar por parte de la escritora y de un grupo de promotores de su imagen pública como americanista y constructora de puentes culturales con las repúblicas americanas.

Due to sharp increases in data dimensions, working on every data mining or machine learning (ML) task requires more efficient techniques to get the desired results. Therefore, in recent years, researchers have proposed and developed many methods and techniques to reduce the high dimensions of data and to attain the required accuracy. To ameliorate the accuracy of learning features as well as to decrease the training time dimensionality reduction is used as a pre-processing step, which can eliminate irrelevant data, noise, and redundant features. Dimensionality reduction (DR) has been performed based on two main methods, which are feature selection (FS) and feature extraction (FE). FS is considered an important method because data is generated continuously at an ever-increasing rate; some serious dimensionality problems can be reduced with this method, such as decreasing redundancy effectively, eliminating irrelevant data, and ameliorating result comprehensibility. Moreover, FE transacts with the problem of finding the most distinctive, informative, and decreased set of features to ameliorate the efficiency of both the processing and storage of data. This paper offers a comprehensive approach to FS and FE in the scope of DR. Moreover, the details of each paper, such as used algorithms/approaches, datasets, classifiers, and achieved results are comprehensively analyzed and summarized. Besides, a systematic discussion of all of the reviewed methods to highlight authors' trends, determining the method(s) has been done, which significantly reduced computational time, and selecting the most accurate classifiers. As a result, the different types of both methods have been discussed and analyzed the findings.

In this book is not the science of children psychology present only but also many efforts, optimism, the willingness to help and the struggle, which are concomitants of each expert investigation. The authors struggled, gave evidence and created a palpable product from their experiences gained by expertise, what can toss you into depths unrealisable in the world of human euphoria and moral. We can have a certain impression at beginning already as the benchmark of a book can often depend on the recommender, too. The book Forensic child psychology is recommended by Prof. Theo Doreleijers MD, president of the European Association for Forensic Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Psychology and other involved professions (EFCAP-EU), for experts working with children and adolescents.

Innovation in ADHD Care Pathway in a DGH Setting
Authors: Shekhar Swasti
Published: May 2020

In the UK, the prevalence of ADHD in children (age 5 to 16 years) is 3-5%. Symptoms of ADHD should meet the diagnostic criteria in DSM-5 or ICD-10. Children with ADHD would benefit from the improved organisation of care and better integration of child health services, CAMHS and adult mental health services (NICE guidelines 2008). We describe changes made in the ADHD pathway at a DGH hospital to improve the patient journey.
The Warm Gas in the MW: A Kinematical Model
Authors: Qu Zhijie , Bregman Joel N. , Hodges-Kluck Edmund , Li Jiang-Tao , Lindley Ryan
Published: May 2020

We develop a kinematical model for the Milky Way Si iv-bearing gas to determine its density distribution and kinematics. This model is constrained by a column density line-shape sample extracted from the Hubble Space Telescope/Cosmic Origins Spectrograph archival data, which contains 186 active galactic nucleus sight lines. We find that the Si iv ion density distribution is dominated by an extended disk along the z-direction (above or below the midplane), i.e.,

, where z
0 is the scale height of

kpc (northern hemisphere) and

kpc (southern hemisphere). The density distribution of the disk in the radial direction shows a sharp edge at 15–20 kpc given by,

, where r
0 ≈ 12.5 ± 0.6 kpc. The difference of density distributions over r
XY and z directions indicates that the warm gas traced by Si iv is mainly associated with disk processes (e.g., feedback or cycling gas) rather than accretion. We estimate the mass of the warm gas (within 50 kpc) is

(assuming Z ≈ 0.5 Z
⊙), and a 3σ upper limit of

(excluding the Magellanic system). Kinematically, the warm gas disk is nearly co-rotating with the stellar disk at

, which lags the midplane rotation by about

(within 5 kpc). Meanwhile, we note that the warm gas in the northern hemisphere has significant accretion with v
acc of 69 ± 7

at 10 kpc (an accretion rate of

), while in the southern hemisphere, there is no measurable accretion, with an upper limit of 0.4 M

On the Contribution of Quiet-Sun Magnetism to Solar Irradiance Variations: Constraints on Quiet-Sun Variability and Grand-minimum Scenarios
Authors: Rempel M.
Published: May 2020

While the quiet-Sun magnetic field shows only little variation with the solar cycle, long-term variations cannot be completely ruled out from first principles. We investigate the potential effect of quiet-Sun magnetism on spectral solar irradiance through a series of small-scale dynamo simulations with zero vertical flux imbalance (

) and varying levels of small-scale magnetic field strength, and one weak network case with an additional flux imbalance corresponding to a flux density of

G. From these setups, we compute the dependence of the outgoing radiative energy flux on the mean vertical magnetic field strength in the photosphere at a continuum optical depth τ = 1 (

). We find that a quiet-Sun setup with a mean vertical field strength of

G is about 0.6% brighter than a non-magnetic reference case. We find a linear dependence of the outgoing radiative energy flux on the mean field strength

with a relative slope of 1.4 × 10−4 G−1. With this sensitivity, only a moderate change of the quiet-Sun field strength by 10% would lead to a total solar irradiance variation comparable to the observed solar cycle variation. While this does provide strong indirect constraints on possible quiet-Sun variations during a regular solar cycle, it also emphasizes that potential variability over longer timescales could make a significant contribution to longer-term solar irradiance variations.
An Extreme Ultraviolet Wave Associated with a Solar Filament Activation
Authors: Zheng Ruisheng , Chen Yao , Wang Bing , Song Hongqiang
Published: May 2020

Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) waves are impressive coronal propagating disturbances. They are closely associated with various eruptions and can be used for global coronal seismology and the acceleration of solar energetic particles. Hence, the study of EUV waves plays an important role in solar eruptions and space weather. Here we present an EUV wave associated with a filament activation that did not evolve into any eruption. Due to the continuous magnetic flux emergence and cancellation around its one end, the filament rose with untwisting motion, and the filament mass flowed toward another end along the rising fields. Intriguingly, following the filament activation, an EUV wave formed with a fast constant speed (∼500 km s−1) ahead of the mass flow, and the overlying coronal loops expanded in both lateral and radial directions. Excluding the possibility of a remote flare and an absent coronal mass ejection, we suggest that the EUV wave was only closely associated with the filament activation. Furthermore, their intimate spatial and temporal relationship indicates that the EUV wave was likely directly triggered by the lateral expansion of overlying loops. We propose that the EUV wave can be interpreted as a linear fast-mode wave, and the most vital key for the successful generation of the EUV wave is the impulsive early phase lateral expansion of overlying loops that was driven by the activated filament mass flow without any eruption.

Published: May 2020

The CHemical Abundances Of Spirals (CHAOS) project is building a large database of Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) H ii region spectra in nearby spiral galaxies to use direct abundances to better determine the dispersion in metallicity as a function of galactic radius. Here, we present CHAOS LBT observations of C ii
λ4267 emission detected in 10 H ii regions in M 101, and using a new photoionization model-based ionization correction factor, we convert these measurements into total carbon abundances. A comparison with M 101 C ii recombination line observations from the literature shows excellent agreement, and we measure a relatively steep gradient in log(C/H) of −0.37 ± 0.06 dex

. The C/N observations are consistent with a constant value of log(C/N) = 0.84 with a dispersion of only 0.09 dex, which, given the different nucleosynthetic sources of C and N, is challenging to understand. We also note that when plotting N/O versus O/H, all of the H ii regions with detections of C ii
λ4267 present N/O abundances at the minimum of the scatter in N/O at a given value of O/H. If the high surface brightness necessary for the detection of the faint recombination lines is interpreted as an indicator of H ii region youth, then this may point to a lack of nitrogen pollution in the youngest H ii regions. In the future, we anticipate that the CHAOS project will significantly increase the total number of C ii
λ4267 measurements in extragalactic H ii regions.
