Financial statement should provide high quality of information which is useful for stakeholder, especially investors to make investment decision. The important quality of a financial statement is timeliness. Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) has regulated that go public companies have to provide annual financial statement along with the audit report from public accountant that must be given to OJK not later than the end of third month after the financial year ends. Therefore, it is important for companies to pay attention in audit report lag. This research is focused on the effect of liquidity, solvability, type of industry and auditor switching toward audit report lag. This research is conducted at LQ45 Index Companies which are listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2015 – 2018. The research method is causal study. The hypothesis is testing using panel data regression. This research founds that type of industry has a significant partial effect on audit report lag. Whereas, liquidity, solvability and auditor switching do not have significant partial effect on audit report lag. Furthermore, on simultaneous test, it is founded that liquidity, solvability, type of industry and auditor switching are simultaneously affecting audit report lag.

El "Nuevo Catolicismo” en Córdoba durante las primeras décadas del siglo XX
Authors: Vidal Gardenia
Published: March 2020

Este artículo se inspira en la noción de “nuevo catolicismo” desarrollada por Cristopher Clark quien sostiene que en el oeste europeo durante el s. XIX la jerarquía eclesiástica y los militantes laicos confrontaban sus ideas, constituyendo facciones en el interior de la Iglesia, es decir mientras el “nuevo catolicismo” se construía, no sin problemas entre los dirigentes, los sectores populares crecían y se organizaban, dejando atrás el integrismo medieval y se apropiaban de estilos modernos de organización, más allá de los problemas intelectuales y doctrinarios que preocupaban a las élites.El trabajo que desarrollo en esta oportunidad utiliza ese concepto para aplicarlo a lo sucedido en la ciudad de Córdoba. Por un lado, ciertamente, la fragmentación de la élite católica, es un hecho que se manifiesta de diversas maneras; no obstante simultáneamente se producía el crecimiento y organización de los sectores populares católicos y los fieles ganaban las calles mediante variadas demostraciones, en gran medida apoyados, al menos en parte, por esa misma élite.Palabras clave: Nuevo Catolicismo; Élites; Sectores Populares; Fragmentación; Modernización
Católicos uruguayos reunidos y movilizados: las peregrinaciones a la Virgen del Verdún (1901 -1941)
Authors: Monreal Susana
Published: March 2020

A fines del siglo XIX y durante la primera década del siglo XX, a pesar de las políticas secularizadoras y del desarrollo del anticlericalismo, la Iglesia católica uruguaya se fortaleció y se hizo presente en el espacio público. En esta línea, las devociones marianas, uno de los rasgos distintivos de la religiosidad ultramontana, tuvieron especial impulso. En 1901, se levantó la imagen de la Virgen en el cerro del Verdún,  muy cerca de la ciudad de Minas, que atrajo peregrinaciones frecuentes. Para los católicos, estas eran una expresión de fe y un acto de resistencia ante el proceso de separación de Iglesia y Estado. Por otro lado, la oposición fue dura desde la prensa anticlerical y hubo mutilaciones de la imagen. Venerada o atacada, la Virgen del Verdún suscitó actitudes de violencia o desagravio, constituyéndose en símbolo de la sociedad sin religión o de la patria cristiana, y de los proyectos que cada una de estas posiciones comportaba.Palabras Clave: Catolicismo de masas; devoción mariana; secularización; Virgen del Verdún; Uruguay
Aportes para la comprensión del taylorismo soviético de Octubre a la NEP (1917-1929)
Authors: Sgrazzutti Jorge , Oliva Antonio
Published: March 2020

En 1917 los soviets de obreros y soldados y las organizaciones revolucionarias encabezadas por el Partido Bolchevique, provocaron un vuelco sustancial en la vida política rusa al comenzar a controlar el poder político en los principales núcleos urbanos del país, poniendo fin a la experiencia del Gobierno provisional que había continuado con la presencia rusa en la Guerra Mundial, abriendo así la posibilidad de una primera fase en la construcción del socialismo. Sin embargo, la Guerra civil que se cernió sobre el territorio del ex imperio zarista y que enfrento a los ejércitos de las fuerzas revolucionarias contra los bolsones de resistencia contrarrevolucionaria a partir de 1918, terminó de agotar las fuerzas productivas de una incipiente industria. Al término de la contienda, la desesperada situación de la economía soviética desbrozó el camino para que se intentaran implementar una serie de experiencias de planificación de la producción en el marco de la Nueva Política Económica (NEP) que contemplaba el desarrollo de la industrialización gradual, pero basada en el indispensable aumento de la productividad y la racionalización de la organización productiva fabril. La incidencia de las ideas organizacionales de Taylor, que ya habían influido en la dirigencia bolchevique en los años de la guerra civil como formas de reorganización racional de la producción, fueron introducidos en las directivas de los organismos de planificación con cierto grado de eficacia. El trabajo intenta relevar los trazos generales de esta implementación en las fábricas, sus dificultades de traslación al ámbito productivo, y, por último, los debates y disidencias que su implementación ocasionó en la sociedad soviética. Palabras clave: Revolución Rusa; Industrialización; Organización científica del trabajo; taylorismo
Mestizaje colonial y mestizajes estratégicos. Una mirada crítica a la relación entre historia regional e historia indígena
Authors: Fontenla Manuel
Published: March 2020

En el imaginario racial de la historiografía nacional argentina, tanto la del Siglo XIX como la del XX, el mestizaje fue uno de los ejes principales que estructuró el discurso de blanqueamiento y la “desaparición/extinción” de las sociedades indígenas. En un resumen abrupto y simplificador, pero no menos cierto, podría decirse que en estos registros históricos predominó un borramiento deliberado de la historia indígena, de su agencia, de su presencia y de su devenir histórico. En la actualidad, algunas perspectivas críticas del colonialismo han avanzado en la descripción de estos imaginarios y sus lógicas históricas de saber/poder, y entre ellos, de la función que cumplió el mestizaje como discurso ideológico (blanqueador y patriarcal) y como imaginario racial en ese borramiento histórico. Pero muy pocas investigaciones se han focalizado sobre estos mismos aspectos en las historiografías regionales, y mucho menos aún, en la relación entre ese pasado indígena negado e invisibilizado, y la actual historia regional. Para contrarrestar estas ausencias, y explorar estas relaciones, propongo una relectura del mestizaje, que no sea reductible necesariamente a la idea de un discurso ideológico de homogeneización y blanqueamiento, sino que, a modo de una categoría de pivoteo, nos permita mirar tanto la historia regional como la historia indígena desde una perspectiva diferente.

On the definition of the healthiest body weight for children and adults
Authors: Lorenzini Antonello
Published: March 2020

Ongoing changes in societies are driving an expanding fraction of the world’s population towards a sedentary and overfed lifestyle. An overwhelming amount of data has linked increased body weight with an increased risk of acquiring a number of major diseases. Gerontologists, in order to extend the life span of laboratory animals, have used caloric restriction successfully for decades. This basic research on animals along with epidemiological data taken from vast human cohorts is cumulatively indicating that reducing one’s body weight should be part of the strategy to increase health and life span while reducing pathologies. What is not a trivial matter is defining the correct weight for each individual. This mini review raises some discussion points regarding this important public health issue.
INJURY RISK FACTORS IN CHILDREN AND YOUTH IN PHYSICAL / SPORTS ACTIVITY
Authors: Dobnik Marina
Published: March 2020

Purpose: The aim of the article is to define the injury risk factors in physical/sports activity and how they may correlate. 

Methods: A systematic review of electronic databases MEDLINE, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect and Cinahl in May 2015 has provided potentially suitable articles, 10 of which were deemed original for a further detailed review. The studies include children and youth aged 0 to 19 and consider different possible injury risk factors in children in physical/sports activity.

Results: The majority of article authors (7) in selected studies share the opinion that rather than in girls, injuries are more common in boys. One of the authors claims that the factor of gender carries no substantial emphasis. The highest number of physical/sports activity-related injuries occurs in older children and adolescents. One of the selected studies finds that overweight youth develop a higher risk of sports injuries. The opinions of the authors differ when it comes to the level of physical/sports activity. Some authors conclude that children who are more active suffer fewer injuries, while other authors believe the actively involved children to be subject to a higher number of injuries. Younger children (up to the age 12) are subject to injuries while involved in an unorganised type of activity, whether during active games outside or inside, walking or running freely. Older children and adolescents (aged above 12 years) sustain injuries more often in an organised type of activity.

Conclusions: Given the selected studies we were not able to introduce general conclusions regarding the connection between various injury risk factors, since all studies partially differ from each other, regarding age range of study participants, geographical sampling, selected injury risk factors, and different injury definitions. It can be concluded that a higher level of physical/sports activity brings a higher risk of injury.
Living Same-Name Siblings and British Historical Demography
Authors: Galley Chris , Garrett Eilidh , Davies Ros , Reid Alice
Published: March 2020

This article examines the extent to which living siblings were given identical first names. Whilst the practice of sibling name-sharing appeared to have died out in England during the eighteenth century, in northern Scotland it persisted at least until the end of the nineteenth century. Previously it has not been possible to provide quantitative evidence of this phenomenon, but an analysis of the rich census and vital registration data for the Isle of Skye reveals that this practice was widespread, with over a third of eligible families recording same-name siblings. Our results suggest that further research should focus on regional variations in sibling name-sharing and the extent to which this northern pattern occurred in other parts of Britain.
Family Size and Expectations about Housing in the Later Nineteenth Century: Three Yorkshire Towns
Authors: Atkinson Paul
Published: March 2020

This article illustrates how cultural history can deepen the understanding of demographic change, presenting evidence about ways in which rising working-class expectations about appropriate living standards may have created additional pressures on the perceived costs of child-rearing. Among the key areas of family consumption, housing costs are selected for examination. It is shown that higher expectations about appropriate housing quality put pressure on family budgets, augmented by the rising cost of like-for-like housing. The discussion considers expectations about the size of the dwelling and attitudes to furnishing the home, and suggests that these rising expectations helped encourage family limitation. Existing accounts of the fertility decline which stress the role of rising expectations are often too generalised: this article illustrates what can be gained by adding detail and geographical variation.
Infant Mortality in London, 1538–1850: a Methodological Study
Authors: Razzell Peter
Published: March 2020

A review of evidence on infant mortality derived from the London bills of mortality and parish registers indicates that there were major registration problems throughout the whole of the parish register period. One way of addressing these problems is to carry out reconstitution studies of individual London parishes, but there are a number of problems with reconstitution methodology, including the traffic in corpses between parishes both inside and outside of London and the negligence of clergymen in registering both baptisms and burials. In this paper the triangulation of sources has been employed to measure the adequacy of burial registration, including the comparison of data from bills of mortality, parish registers and probate returns, as well as the use of the same-name technique. This research indicates that between 20 and 40 per cent of burials went unregistered in London during the parish register period.
Adolescent Mortality at Winchester College, 1393–1540: New Evidence for Medieval Mortality and Methodological Considerations for Historical Demography
Authors: Oakes Rebecca
Published: March 2020

This article presents new data on mortality in the late medieval period, and suggests methodologies for analysing incomplete datasets. Using data collated from the records of Winchester College this study follows the lives of 2,692 individuals, and analyses adolescent mortality in the sample group for the period 1393–1540. This study of mortality among 10–18 year olds is the first of its kind to produce data for a sample of adolescents in late medieval England, and thereby contributes significant new data to our understanding of late medieval mortality. These data are placed within the context of that obtained for other medieval population samples, most notably with studies of medieval monastic groups.

Published: March 2020

A field experiment was undertaken to study the effect of nutrient management on rice cv. Puspa (IET-17509) during pre-kharif season of 2013 and 2014. The experiment was conducted at Rice Research Station, Bankura with eleven different nutrient management practices i.e., N1 = N, P2O5, K2O @ 60, 30, 30 kg ha-1 (RDF);N2 = RDF + Vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1; N3 = RDF + FYM @ 5 t ha-1 ; N4 = FYM @ 5 t ha-1, N5 = Vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 ; N6 = RDF + glyricidia (well decomposed) as green manure @ 3 t ha-1; N7 = RDF + ZnSO4 @ 20 kg ha-1 N8 = RDF + borax @ 2 kg ha-1 ; N9 = RDF + Vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 + ZnSO4 @ 20 kg ha-1 ; N10 = RDF +Vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 + borax @ 2 kg ha-1 ; N11 = RDF + Vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 + ZnSO4 @ 20 kg ha-1 + borax @ 2 kg ha-1 respectively in randomized block design comprising of three replications. The result of experiment revealed that rice plot fertilized with the combination of NPK @ 60:30:30 + VC + ZnSO4@ 20 kg ha-1 + borax @ 2 kg ha-1 recorded the highest grain yield of 4.45 t ha-1 which was 56.69 % higher (2.84 t ha-1) than the FYM treated plot. Organic substitution by FYM and vermicompost (VC) had failed to register the significant impact on growth, yield and nutrient uptake. Nutrient uptake and residual nutrient status was also highest in NPK @ 60:30:30 kg ha-1 + VC @ 2.5 t ha-1 + ZnSO4 @ 20 kg ha-1+ borax @ 2 kg ha-1 fertilized plot.
Effect of different sources of nitrogen on yield and yield attributes of transplanted rice under east and south coastal plains of Odisha
Authors: Pradhan Abhijit , Behera Biswajit , Chowdhury Md Riton , Gulati JML
Published: March 2020

Integrated nutrient management (INM) plays an important role to maintain the soil health and improve crop productivity. A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of integrated nitrogen application on transplanted rice. The present investigation was laid out in randomised block design with 10 treatments. Growth parameters like plant height, dry matter accumulation varied significantly among different treatments and the highest value was recorded under the treatment T6 (75% N through fertilizer + 25% N through vermicompost with full dose of P and K). All the yield attributing characters like panicles m-2, grains panicle-1 significantly varied under different treatments. Significantly, higher tiller m-2, grain panicle-1 and panicle length were recorded under T6. Similarly, significantly highest grain yield (4.93 t ha-1) and straw yield (6.01 t ha-1) were observed under T6. Thus, substituting a part of nitrogen fertilizer with organic manure improves soil quality and sustains the crop productivity.
MODELLING OF SPINTRONIC DEVICES FOR APPLICATION IN RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY
Authors: Politanskyi Ruslan , Vistak Maria , Veryga Andriy , Ruda Tetyana
Published: March 2020

The article analyzes the physical processes that occur in spin-valve structures during recording process which occurs in high-speed magnetic memory devices. Considered are devices using magnetization of the ferromagnetic layer through transmitting magnetic moment by polarized spin (STT-MRAM). Basic equations are derived to model the information recording process in the model of symmetric binary channel. Because the error probability arises from the magnetization process, a model of the magnetization process is formed, which is derived from the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equations under the assumption of a single-domain magnet. The choice of a single-domain model is due to the nanometer size of the flat magnetic layer. The developed method of modeling the recording process determines the dependence of such characteristics as the bit error probability and the rate of recording on two important technological characteristics of the recording process: the value of the current and its duration. The end result and the aim of the simulation is to determine the optimal values of the current and its duration at which the speed of the recording process is the highest for a given level of error probability. The numerical values of the transmission rate and error probability were obtained for a wide range of current values (10–1500 μA) and recording time of one bit (1–70 ns), and generally correctly describe the process of information transmission. The calculated data were compared with the technical characteristics of existing industrial devices and devices which are the object of the scientific research. The resulting model can be used to simulate devices using different values of recording currents: STT-MRAM series chips using low current values (500-100 μA), devices in the stage of technological design and using medium current values (100–500 μA) and devices that are the object of experimental scientific research and use high currents (500–1000 μA). The model can also be applied to simulate devices with different data rates, which have different requirements for both transmission speed and bit error probability. In this way, the model can be applied to both high-speed memory devices in computer systems and signal sensors, which are connected to sensor networks or connected to the IoT.

Authors: Sana Ali  , Uroosa Zeb  , Mashooq Khan  , Muhammad Anees
Published: March 2020

The novel Coronavirus (nCoV-19) pandemic began in Wuhan, China with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in December, 2019. The virus transmitted from China to other countries by traveling of the infected individuals. The number of infected populations with Coronavirus is increasing day by day with an increased mortality rate. The signs and symptoms of the disease include fever, non-productive cough, dyspnea, and fatigue. The transmission routes of the virus include respiratory secretions or droplet infection and direct contact with the infected person. Dentists are a group of professionals that are highly exposed to infectious diseases. The nCoV-19 is transmitted from patient to dentist and dentist to patient mainly through aerosol and splatter produced by the dental procedure and saliva of an infected person. To avoid transmission of the virus from patient to dentist and from dentist to other patients, screening tests should be done at dental setups. The use of gloves, face shields, masks, gowns, and antiseptic handwash are mandatory for the dentist. Awareness programs should be conducted to prevent further transmission of the disease. We searched Google, Google Scholar, WHO website for coronavirus and National Institute of Health website (nih.org.pk) for relevant literature by using various MeSH terms including ‘2019-nCoV’, ‘transmission of 2019-nCoV in dental clinics’, ‘dentistry and COVID-19’ and ‘infection control’, etcKey words: COVID-19, Dental clinics, Infection control, Transmission
Uji Uses and Gratifications dalam Intensitas Menonton Program Talk Show Melalui Televisi
Authors: Haqqu Rizca
Published: March 2020

A survey of media consumption in several cities throughout Indonesia shows that television use still dominates. The results of a survey conducted by the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission explained that television programs considered to have quality with a high standard value of 3.04 were talk show  programs. The purpose of this study is to examine the use of media and its underlying relationships based on the standpoint of the uses and gratification theory. This research uses theories of uses and gratification. The theory of uses and gratification considers that mass media do not have the power to influence the audience, but the audience using mass media is certainly based on different needs. An explanatory quantitative approach is used in this study to explain a social phenomenon that can be measured. Correlation test results in this study explained that the entertainment satisfaction obtained by respondents did not come from the intensity of the respondents when watching talk show s through television media, but the high level of entertainment satisfaction obtained by respondents came from the magnitude of the desired information motive.

Influence of hyperthyroidism on hepatic antioxidants and cytokines Levels: An Experimental Study
Authors: Bahtiyar Nurten , Yoldaş Aysun , Aydemir Birsen , Toplan Selmin
Published: March 2020

Objective: Thyroid diseases greatly affect the liver. Hyperthyroidism can affect the function of the liver. This study aimed to investigate the possible change of antioxidant and pro-inflammatory cytokines levels in liver tissue in hyperthyroid rats.

Material and Methods: This study was carried out with 2 experimental groups. Hyperthyroid group was fed with 4 mg/kg L-thyroxine added standard fodder. Control group was fed with standard rat fodder. Liver selenium (Se) levels were measured by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrophotometer (ICP-OES). The antioxidant markers such as Selenoprotein P (SelP), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and the pro-inflammatory cytokines such as Interleukin (IL)-18, and Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels were studied in liver tissues by ELISA. All markers levels of liver samples were measured in tissue homogenates.

Results: Se, SelP, and GPx levels of the hyperthyroidism group were lower than the control group. (p=0.038, p=0.046, p=0.008 respectively). There was a significant increase in IL-18 and TNF-α levels in hyperthyroidism group when compared to control group (p=0.002, p=0.023 respectively). There was positive correlation between FT3 and FT4, IL-18 and TNF-α (r=0.761, r=0.843, and r=0.826 respectively), but there was negative correlation between FT3 and Se, SelP, and GPx (r=-0.833, r=-0.754, and r=-0.778 respectively).

Conclusion: Our findings showed that antioxidant marker levels were decreased, and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels were increased in liver tissues of hyperthyroid rats. These findings suggest that impaired antioxidant and pro-inflammatory status may play a role in liver pathogenesis due to hyperthyroidism.
For Cause: Rethinking Racial Exclusion and the American Jury
Authors: Ward Frampton Thomas
Published: March 2020

Peremptory strikes, and criticism of the permissive constitutional framework regulating them, have dominated the scholarship on race and the jury for the past several decades. But we have overlooked another important way in which the American jury reflects and reproduces racial hierarchies: massive racial disparities also pervade the use of challenges for cause. This Article examines challenges for cause and race in nearly 400 trials and, based on original archival research, presents a revisionist account of the Supreme Court’s three most recent Batson cases. It establishes that challenges for cause, no less than peremptory strikes, are an important—and unrecognized—vehicle of racial exclusion in criminal adjudication.

Challenges for cause are racially skewed, in part, because the Supreme Court has insulated the challenge-for-cause process from meaningful review. Scholars frequently write that jury selection was “constitutionalized” in the 1970s and 1980s, but this doctrinal account is incomplete. In the interstices of the Court’s fair-cross-section, equal protection, and due process jurisprudence, there is a “missing” law of challenges for cause. By overlooking challenges for cause, scholars have failed to notice the important ways in which jury selection remains free from constitutional regulation.

Challenges for cause as they exist today—effectively standardless, insulated from meaningful review, and racially skewed—do more harm than good. They hinder, more than help, the jury in its central roles: (1) protecting the individual against governmental overreach; (2) allowing the community a democratic voice in articulating public values; (3) finding facts; (4) bolstering the perceived legitimacy and fairness of criminal verdicts; and (5) educating jurors as citizens. We need to rethink who is qualified to serve as a juror and how we select them.

FACTORS OF INFLUENCE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF HOTEL AND RESTAURANT BUSINESS IN UKRAINE
Authors: Kulyk Andriy
Published: March 2020

Introduction. Since tourism in Ukraine in recent years has been turning into a dynamic and profitable sector of economic activity, the substantiation and search for ways to improve the quality of services in it is of particular relevance. Access to international markets for tourism services enhances interest and actualizes the study of factors affecting the quality of tourism services in Ukraine. Largely, the implementation of the task of substantiating ways to improve the quality of tourism services in general depends on the activities of the respective hotel and restaurant business institutions and their functional interaction.
Methods. Empirical methods and questionnaires were used to establish and identify factors affecting the quality of services in the hotel and restaurant business. The method of abstraction and generalization was used in the study, which allowed us to draw conclusions regarding the prospects and ways to improve the quality of services in the Ukrainian hotel and restaurant business.
Results. A study of the factors affecting the quality of services in the hotel and restaurant business allowed them to be classified, to identify the level of influence, to offer ways and measures to smooth out the negative and increase positive trends in this area. The development of a position on possible ways to overcome the negative impact of various factors on the quality of services in the hotel and restaurant business was the logical result of a scientific search, including through the phased implementation of measures to smooth or eliminate each of them.
Discussions. The proposals worked out will make it possible to improve the quality of services in the hotel and restaurant business in Ukraine. In the future, more in-depth research is needed on how to develop the composition of hotel and restaurant services, methods of evaluation and quality control, the use of positive foreign experience on these issues, as well as finding ways to improve the use of computers and communications possible technologies in the tourism industry.

Authors: Rozhok Mikhail P.
Published: March 2020

Introduction: Acute middle purulent otitis is a fairly common disease among both children and adults. The share of acute otitis media is 25-30% of the total number of ear diseases. Children and the elderly are much more likely to suffer. Successful selection of a topical medicinal product plays a significant role in the treatment of people with acute purulent otitis media. Despite the large number of medicines available on the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine and the world, there is a tendency to increase antibiotic resistance in pathogens of this disease.
Therefore, the purpose of the study was to determine the impact on the course of this disease use of a new drug «Neladex».
Materials and methods: The studies were conducted in an outpatient setting. 30 patients were divided into two groups, one of which the main (15 people) received Neladex drops in addition to conventional treatment, and the other did not.
Results: In patients of the main group, the regression of symptoms of the disease, results of otoscopy and tonal audiometry occurred faster than those in the patients of control group.
Conclusion: The use of the drug Neladex in the treatment of patients with acute purulent otitis media in the pre-perforation stage increases the effectiveness of therapy, which gives reason to recommend this drug for topical treatment of patients with the above pathology as an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent. «Neladex» can replenish the arsenal of local agents used in the treatment of patients with acute middle purulent otitis with myringitis in the pre-puncture stage.

Não vamos ao hiper, nos mudamos para o hiper (e lá permanecemos por quatro dias)
Authors: Fragoso Maria Luiza (Malu)
Published: March 2020

A atual sedução por maÌquinas e tecnologia, especialmente aquelas que têm a capacidade de interagir/comunicar, ou seja, maÌquinas “inteligentes”, desperta uma producÌ§aÌƒo simboÌlica na arte que lida com processos de tomada de conscieÌ‚ncia sobre conexões entre seres vivos e máquinas. Tratamos aqui de descrever um pouco da vivência de um acontecimento/dispositivo que provoca essas conexões, o Hiperorgânicos.

Environmental Justice and Third Wave Ecocritical Approaches to Literature and Film
Authors: Adamson Joni
Published: March 2020

Key words: environmental justice, globalization, indigenous peoples, third wave ecocriticism Using films such as Babel directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Iñartu, or novels such as Almanac of the Dead by Leslie Marmon Silko can raise consciousness on environmental justice issues and the consequences of globalization and free trade agreements for different communities around the world. Both works illustrate quite poignantly the meaning of such landmark manifestos such as the United Nations Declaration on the the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, the 17 Principles of Environmental Justice or the Earth Charter. Likewise these approaches constitute the third wave of ecocriticism whose interests lie in exploring human experience from eco-global perspectives which transcend ethnic and national borders in research.  Palabras clave: justicia medioambiental, globalización, pueblos indígenas, tercera oleada de la ecocríticaIncorporar al aula largometrajes como Babel de Alejandro Gonzalez Iñartu o novelas como Almanac of the Dead de Leslie Marmon Silko puede redundar en un aumento de la concienciación sobre la justicia medioambiental y fomentar la reflexión  sobre las consecuencias de la globalización y del comercio libre en distintas comunidades que coexisten en el planeta.  Ambos documentos resultan útiles para ilustrar el significado de otros tan importantes como la Declaración de las Naciones Unidas sobre los derechos de los pueblos indígenas, los 17 principios para la justicia ambiental y la Carta de la Tierra, al mismo tiempo que se inscriben en la tercera oleada de la ecocrítica cuyos intereses se centran en explorar la experiencia humana desde perspectivas ecoglobales y trascender  las fronteras étnicas y nacionales en la investigación.

Ecocrítica en España e Hispanoamérica
Authors: Binns Niall
Published: March 2020

Key words: environment, environmental awareness, ecological commitment, ecological disasters, Spanish America Despite repeated efforts to introduce environmental consciousness in the Humanities in Spain, there is still a significant gap between ecocriticism in Spain and Latin America. Latin American literature has always been tied to the historical ecological disasters which have taken place in America while it is surprising to see the few Spanish poets committed to the environment. In Latin America, there is a flowering of both poetry and criticism which analyzes the consequences of urbanization and industrialization of the landscape which contrasts with the neglect of Spanish poets for environmental issues. Palabras claves: entorno, concienciación medioambiental, compromiso ecológico, desastre ecológico, Hispanoamérica  A pesar de repetidos intentos de introducir la concienciación por la conservación del mundo natural en las facultades de Letras en España, aun existe gran disparidad entre la ecocrítica en España y en Hispanoamérica. La literatura hispanoamericana ha estado desde siempre ligada al desastre ecológico histórico que ha tenido lugar en América mientras que sorprende el reducido número de poetas españoles comprometidos con el entorno y la conservación del medioambiente. En Hispanoamérica, sin embargo, florecen las producciones poéticas y críticas que analizan las consecuencias de la urbanización e industrialización del entorno al mismo ritmo que los poetas españoles muestran su despreocupación por los desastres ecológicos.
