The Islands of Malta and Gozo in Greek and Roman History and Literature
Authors: Vella Horatio Caesar Roger
Published: January 2022

Malta, Gozo and Comino, the Thrinacia of Homer and the Melitē, Phoebe and Lampas of Scylax, form an archipelago in the centre of the Mediterranean Sea inhabited by both Phoenicians and Greeks before the coming of the Romans to those islands. Many geographers mention them, but other authors refer to their importance as places of production of textiles and other natural goods like oil and honey. Of particular importance was the site of the temple of Juno and Hercules known to Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans as well as to Numidians. Malta and Gozo were also praised for their good harbors and stone. The Grand Harbour itself served as an important Byzantine base with its tower and inner harbour, both places bearing Greek names. Malta was converted to Christianity in AD 60 following St Paul’s shipwreck there, where he spent three winter months. The aim of this article is to scrutinize the information about Malta and Gozo in numerous Greek, Roman and Christian sources.
Model Equations and Formation of Structures in Media with Memory
Authors: Makarenko A.S.
Published: January 2022

We propose new types of models of the appearance of small- and large-scale structures in media with memory, including a hyperbolic modification of the Navier--Stokes equations and a class of dynamical low-dimensional models with memory effects. On the basis of computer modeling, the formation of the small-scale structures and collapses and the appearance of new chaotic solutions are demonstrated. Possibilities of the application of some proposedmodels to the description of the burst-type processes and collapses on the Sun are discussed.
Category of Vilenkin−Kuznetsov−Smorodinsky−Smirnov Trees
Authors: Moskaliuk S.S. , Moskaliuk N.M.
Published: January 2022

First, we briefly review the definitions and the basic properties of operads and trees. There are many useful types of operads, and each type is determined by the choice of two categories: basic symmetric monoidal category (C, □), which supports the classical linear operads, and a category of graphs Γ reflecting the combinatorics of operadic data and axioms. From this viewpoint, the specific operad is a functor Γ → C. Second, our aim is the construction of the category of Vilenkin–Kuznetsov–Smorodinsky–Smirnov (VKSS) trees, which contains VKSS-trees as objects and morphisms generated by a rotation of the n-dimensional space and transforming functions of VKSS-trees.
The Negative Result of Gravitational Tests for Multidimensional Kaluza−Klein Models
Authors: Eingorn M. , Zhuk A.
Published: January 2022

In the Kaluza–Klein model with toroidal extra dimensions, we obtain the metric coefficients in the weak-field approximation for delta-shaped matter sources. These metric coefficients are used to calculate the formulas for the frequency shift, perihelion shift, and deflection of light. In the leading order of approximation, the formula for the frequency shift coincides with the well-known expression from general relativity. However, for the perihelion shift and the light deflection, we obtain formulas Dπrg/[(D – 2)a(1 – e2)] and (D – 1)rg/[(D – 2)ρ], respectively, where D is a total number of spatial dimensions. These expressions demonstrate good agreement with experimental data only in the case of the ordinary three-dimensional (D = 3) space. This result does not depend on the size of the extra dimensions. We also obtain the exact 5-D soliton solution with correct non-relativistic Newtonian limit. The energy momentum tensor for this solution has clear physical interpretation. However, the classical tests for this metric do not satisfy the experimental data. Therefore, the considered multidimensional Kaluza–Klein models face a severe problem.

The Position of the Syar-iyah Court in Aceh In the Judicial Power System of the Republic of Indonesia
Authors: Murtadlo Ahmad Sujud , Tamrin Abu
Published: January 2022

Aceh's Syar'iyah Court is a subset of the province's General Courts and Religious Courts, established by Law No. 50 of 2009 on the Second Amendment to Law No. 7 of 1989 regarding Religious Courts. According to the judicial authority law's stipulations, special courts may only be established in a single of the Supreme Court's subordinate judicial systems. The Syar'iyah Court, as envisioned by Law No. 50 of 2009, stands in stark contrast to the special court provisions of the Law on Judicial Power. This study employs a qualitative research design, normative approach, and library-based methodology by reviewing relevant books, statutes, regulations, papers, and journals. According to this research, the Syar'iyah Court, as a specialized court, belongs in just one jurisdiction: the Supreme Court. If the Sar'iyah Court is any indication, the Syar'iyah Mahakamah should be treated as a unique religious court because of its expertise in Islamic law.

MI is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Coronary artery thrombosis is the final pathologic feature of the most cases of acute MI primarily caused by atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. The concept of vulnerable plaque has evolved over the years but originated from early pioneering work unveiling the crucial role of plaque rupture and subsequent coronary thrombosis as the dominant cause of MI. Along with systemic cardiovascular risk factors, developments of intravascular and non-invasive imaging modalities have allowed us to identify coronary plaques thought to be at high risk for rupture. However, morphological features alone may only be one of many factors which promote plaque progression. The current vulnerable-plaque-oriented approaches to accomplish personalized risk assessment and treatment have significant room for improvement. In this review, the authors discuss recent advances in the understanding of vulnerable plaque and its management strategy from pathology and clinical perspectives.
É trabalho de preto... Emergência e insurgência da luta contra o racismo pela ressignificação do discurso
Authors: Gonçalves Tatiana Jardim
Published: January 2022

Este artigo centra-se na defesa da ressignificação do discurso como uma das frentes de insurgência e de atualização da luta contra o racismo. Para cumprir tal intento, são analisados os nomes de duas páginas da rede social Instagram que são ressignificações de expressões racistas cristalizadas. Este percurso será orientado por Achille Mbembe (2018), Abdias Nascimento (2016) e Beatriz Nascimento (2018), no que tange às questões ligadas ao racismo e ao negro. O tratamento das questões discursivas está pautado nos conceitos de formação discursiva (FOUCAULT, 2016), de prática discursiva desenvolvido por Dominique Maingueneau (1997; 2008) e de linguagem-intervenção defendido por Décio Rocha (2006; 2014). Com isso, será possível mostrar que a relação entre língua e história sempre se atualiza e propicia construções de outros mundos e de outras possibilidades de sociedade.
Representação da mulher negra nas capas da versão brasileira da revista Glamour
Authors: Moura Amanda dos Santos , Almeida Fabio Sampaio de
Published: January 2022

O objetivo deste texto é problematizar a construção discursiva da representação de mulheres negras em capas da revista Glamour (Editora Globo), publicadas entre abril de 2012 e dezembro de 2018, por meio de análise intersemiótica de enunciados e imagens. Para tal, discutimos questões raciais e de gênero, propostas pelo feminismo negro (BORGES, 2012; CARNEIRO, 2011; COLLINS, 2017; GOMES, 2012; HOOKS, 2018), e de linguagem na perspectiva teórico-metodológica da Análise do Discurso (MAINGUENEAU, 2008, 2013, 2015), a partir dos conceitos de interdiscurso e práticas intersemióticas. Os resultados evidenciam deslocamentos que apontam mudanças positivas em curso na representação da mulher negra, ainda que o cenário seja o de predominância de padrões estéticos eurocêntricos que subalternizam o corpo que não é branco.
Linguagem neutra
Authors: Seidel Verônica Franciele
Published: January 2022

Recentemente a discussão sobre o uso de uma linguagem neutra, que não promova a exclusão de pessoas que não se identificam com a divisão binária de gênero em masculino e feminino, tem ganhado espaço na sociedade. Tal temática vem sendo foco de discussões realizadas tanto no âmbito acadêmico, a exemplo de artigos científicos e palestras acerca dessa forma de expressão linguística, quanto da população em geral e, inclusive, do Poder Legislativo, que propôs em 2020 quatro projetos a esse respeito. Tendo em vista a relevância do tema na atualidade, o objetivo deste estudo consiste em refletir sobre o uso dessa forma de linguagem a partir da perspectiva do Círculo de Bakhtin, tomando como base o conceito de signo ideológico proposto por esses pensadores. Para tanto, também analisamos alguns excertos do Projeto de Lei n.º 5.385, que trata da linguagem neutra, buscando dialogar com as motivações e implicações dessa forma de expressão. A partir disso, entendemos que tal forma de linguagem se pauta em uma reacentuação dos signos ideológicos, advinda de uma modificação na realidade, de modo que os signos se tornam palco da tensão entre grupos que percebem a identidade como binária e grupos que não a percebem dessa maneira.

This study evaluates the effect of curing modes and times on the mechanical properties of nanocomposites. Two nanocomposite resins were investigated: supra-nanohybrid (Estelite Posterior Quick; EP) and nanohybrid (Solare X; SX). They were polymerized with a light-emitting diode light-curing units (LED LCU, Valo) as follows: standard mode for 20s (ST20), high power mode for 12s (HP12), high power mode for 20s (HP20), extra power mode for 6s (XP6), and extra power mode for 20s (XP20). For Vickers microhardness (HV), disc-shaped specimens were fabricated (n=10). For the three-point bending test, bar-shaped specimens were fabricated (n=10). Flexural strength and resilience modulus were calculated. The fractured surfaces and specimen surfaces of composites were observed using scanning electron microscopy. The data were analyzed with repeated measures ANOVA, two-way variance, and Bonferroni tests (p<0.05). On the top and bottom surfaces of the EP nanocomposite resin, ST20 and HP12 revealed statistically higher HV than with XP6. Moreover, HP20 and XP20 had statistically higher HV than HP12 and XP6. For the SX nanocomposite resin, HP20 had statistically higher HV than HP12. For EP and SX, there were no significant differences in flexural strength and resilience modulus regarding the curing modes and times. Furthermore, SX demonstrated lower mechanical properties than EP. Scanning electron microscopy indicated that both nanocomposites had similar surface appearances. However, with all curing modes and times, SX exhibited layered fractures and more crack formations than EP. Different curing modes and times could influence the microhardness of nanocomposites.

Separation of ampicillin on polar-endcapped phase: Development of the HPLC method to achieve its correct dosage in cardiac surgery
Authors: Kubickova Vendula , Racova Zuzana , Strojil Jan , Santavy Petr , Urbanek Karel
Published: January 2022

The accurate, simple, and selective reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) has been established and validated for the determination of an antibiotic ampicillin (AMP) in human blood plasma. The SPE extraction was used for the sample preparation. Chromatographic separation was accomplished by a mobile phase containing 15 mM monopotassium phosphate solution of pH 3.3 and methanol (75:25, v/v) in an isocratic mode at a flow rate of 1.4 mL min−1 at 30 °C. The separation was evaluated on a column with a new polar-endcapped C18 stationary phase Arion® Polar C18 or well-known phase Luna® Omega Polar C18. Excellent linearity (R2 0.9998) was shown over range 10–300 mg L−1 with mean percentage recovery 90%. Peak shapes were symmetrical in both columns, Arion® Polar C18 and Luna® Omega Polar C18, with asymmetry factor of 1.0 and 1.4, tailing factor of 1.0 and 1.2, and retention factor of 4.6 and 5.6, respectively. The Arion® Polar C18 was almost 1.4-fold more effective than Luna® Omega Polar C18 phase. The LOQ for ampicillin was achieved 10 mg L−1 for Luna® Omega Polar C18 and 5 mg L−1 for Arion® Polar C18 using 20 µL of a solution containing 0.24 mg mL−1 of cephalexin as an internal standard.

A number of articles dealing with the determination of ampicillin is limited, therefore, this study showed the HPLC method suitable for the determination of AMP in human blood plasma from patient who underwent elective cardiac surgical revascularization. In addition, the determination of AMP was also performed for the first time using an Arion® Polar C18 column, which effectively separated AMP from other compounds present in human blood plasma. This new polar-endcapped phase can help in separation of polar antibiotics or other polar compounds, which are unsuccessfully separated on conventional C18 column, and thus can help during method development.
MODELLING OF PROCESS OF PRESSING OF AXISYMMETRIC HARDWARE TAKING INTO ACCOUNT TECHNOLOGICAL P ARAMETERS
Authors:   Perm National Research Polytechnic University, Kuznetsova Elena
Published: January 2022

In work modeling of processes of pressing of axisymmetric hardware at production of bars and pipes is considered. Modeling is carried out in the conditions of the optimum scheme of a tension - mainly in the conditions of uneven three-axis compression. When developing model of technological operations the cross amount of preparation is chosen, proceeding from minimum admissible extract providing optimum mechanical properties of a product and their uniformity on the section and length. Thus the saved-up practical data taking into account key parameters of process of pressing - pressing speeds (speed of the movement of a punch of a press) and the expiration speed (the size defining high- speed conditions at the exit from a matrix point) are used.

ON STABILITY WITH DERIVATIVE OF A CLASS OF DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS OF NEUTRAL TYPE
Authors:   Perm National Research Polytechnic University, Balandin Anton , Malygina Vera ,   Perm National Research Polytechnic University
Published: January 2022

We consider an important class of differential-difference equations of neutral type, for which we study the asymptotic properties of a solution. We present necessary and sufficient conditions of exponential stability. The conditions have a geometric form of a region in the parameter space. The behavior of a solution at the boundaries of the region is analyzed separately. The loss of stability on the boundary can occur in various ways, namely through the appearance of stationary solutions, and through the appearance of periodic modes. Along with the asymptotic properties of a solution, we study analogous properties of its derivative.

OPERATIONAL EVALUATION OF THE PROBABILITY OF PERFORMANCE OF THE ORDER IN THE CONDITION OF UNCERTAINTY OF CONSUMER DEMAND
Authors:   Perm National Research Polytechnic University, Tolstobrov Danil
Published: January 2022

Modern software allows industrial enterprises to rationalize the use of employees' working hours, to reduce labor intensity and material consumption of manufactured products, but the factor of consumer demand uncertainty forces us to focus on a probabilistic model when forming a portfolio of orders. The paper considers the method of operational forecasting of production costs and the probability of execution of the application by an enterprise operating in the market of perfect competition in the conditions of clients filing applications with an incomplete amount of information. The author's approach to the operational assessment of production costs is based on the ABC method and the rules of cutting design "Muller and son". It allows the calculation step of the request to edit a group of multidimensional products according to customer's requirements, the result is the ratio of the balance between expected customer price and pledged the company profitability. It allows at the stage of calculating the application to edit a group of multidimensional products according to customer requirements, as a result, a balance is reached between the price expected by the client and the profitability laid by the enterprise. According to this method, for calculating a non-standard request, a multidimensional product is represented as a group of rectangular parallelepiped shapes. Costs for each material layer used in the product are considered separately in the calculation process. The study of the nature of the relationship between the consumption rates of sheet material, the dimensions of a multidimensional product and the useful width of the roll made it possible to establish their proportions leading to peak values of the consumption of material. To exclude additional material costs, a method has been developed and tested to find the optimal material consumption taking into account the probability of order fulfillment. Application of these recommendations will allow industrial enterprises to increase the value of products and the enterprise for each participant of relations; will be the basis for the growth of competitiveness of domestic products.

Authors: De Castro Seabra Anderson Leonardo , Fernandes Ferreira Lissa Valeria
Published: January 2022

Este estudo analisa a produção científica das pesquisas em Branding no campo do turismo, a partir de teses e dissertações publicadas no Brasil, para identificar as suas principais características quanto a metodologia. Do exame de 39 trabalhos no banco de dados da Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD) foi possível conhecer e enquadrar as abordagens metodológicas adotadas pelos pesquisadores nesse específico campo. Entre os principais resultados: foi identificado a hegemonia da postura epistêmica empírico-analítica na fundamentação dos estudos; o uso de métodos essencialmente positivistas; a primazia de abordagens qualitativas, e, de caráter exploratório; e a adoção indiscriminada da estratégia do estudo de caso (único) combinado a outros delineamentos.  Conclui-se que as pesquisas em Branding no turismo têm seguido uma agenda de pesquisa positivista, essencialmente empírica, e, pouco reflexiva.  Espera-se que estimule a discussão sobre novas e distintas possibilidades metodológicas para esse campo específico de pesquisa, bem como a extensão para outros estudos que ampliem a compreensão sobre seus modos de investigação.

Em relação às mulheres, o número ainda é inferior ao de homens, apesar de significativo.
UNIVERSIDADES CORPORATIVAS: EDUCAÇÃO OU DOUTRINAÇÃO?
Authors: VERGARA SYLVIA CONSTANT , BRAUER MARCUS , GOMES ANA PAULA CORTAT ZAMBROTTI
Published: January 2022

RESUMO A presente pesquisa foi motivada pela disseminação de iniciativas voltadas para a gestão do conhecimento no ambiente empresarial, como as chamadas Universidades Corporativas (UC), consideradas uma evolução da tradicional área de Treinamento & Desenvolvimento. Questiona-se, contudo, se tais universidades oferecem aos seus participantes subsídios para refletir, criticar, criar, agir em todas as ações inseridas no escopo da educação, ou se, ao contrário, optam pela doutrinação. Foi este questionamento crítico que desencadeou o estudo aqui apresentado, suportado por pesquisa bibliográfica e de campo. Esta última foi realizada em uma UC brasileira. Contou com a participação de 103 funcionários da empresa. Os dados foram coletados por meio de um questionário fechado, elaborado com base nas teorias de doutrinação de Ivan Snook e Olivier Reboul. Os resultados desta pesquisa revelaram que a UC pesquisada tem poucas características doutrinárias. Essa circunstância, de certa forma, fere a suposição inicial do estudo, porém suscita outras, ao seu final: a) nesta UC não predomina a doutrinação e o fato de abrir-se para a pesquisa já o afirma; b) por ser uma UC do setor público, a doutrinação não se faz presente, tanto quanto se faz em uma empresa privada; c) a UC pesquisada tem caráter doutrinário, porém na era do conhecimento em que vivemos, as formas de doutrinação são sutis; não raro os doutrinados não as percebem. Uma nova agenda de pesquisa poderá ajudar a confirmar ou não essas suposições.

Published: January 2022

Introduction: Olfactory dysfunction (OD) is one of the most reported symptoms of COVID -19. Previous studies have identified olfactory training (OT) as an important treatment for postinfectious OD, but little is known about its effect after SARS-CoV-2 infection and how it can be optimized. Objective: To assess whether OT can be optimized if performed intensively, with more fragrances over a shorter period in patients with persistent OD after COVID -19. Also, to determine the presence of other variables related to OD and treatment response in this population. Method: This multicenter randomized clinical trial recruited 80 patients with persistent OD with previous COVID-19 for less than three months. The patients were divided into two groups, who received treatment with 4 and 8 essences over four weeks. Subjective assessments and the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) were performed before and after treatment. Results: A significant improvement in olfaction was measured subjectively and on UPSIT in both groups, but without significant differences between groups. In addition, the presence of olfactory fluctuation was associated with higher UPSIT scores. Conclusion: These data suggest that intensifying the training by increasing the number of essences for 4 weeks does not show superiority over the classical method. Moreover, a fluctuating olfactory ability seems to be related to a better score in the UPSIT.
Exercise-Heat Stress, Hyperthermia, Dehydration and Fatigue Effects on Cognitive Performance among Semi-Professional Male Athletes
Authors: Dube Adiele , Gouws Chantell , Breukelman Gerrit J.
Published: January 2022

Background: Evidence regarding heat stress, dehydration, hypohydration and fluid balance effects on semi-professional athletes’ cognitive function is still limited. This study aimed to examine the effects of exercise heat-stress, hyperthermia, dehydration and fatigue on cognitive performances in semi-professional athletes. Methods: Eighteen healthy male athletes from individual and team sports participated. Participants completed a cognitive and mood test battery prior, immediately after and post 120 min of treadmill exercise. A soccer-specific intermittent treadmill exercise protocol was completed in four experimental trials in temperate (normothermic) and hot (hyperthermic) conditions. Participants were hydrated and dehydrated in both conditions. Trial conditions were; normothermic 16.4 ± 0.02°C and 52 ± 1% RH, while hyperthermic 33.9 ± 0.3°C and 61 ± 1% RH. Results: Response times; the Stroop effect and Visual search tasks were quicker (584 to 690 ms, p= 0.001; 1978 to 2213 ms, p= 0.003) in the heat. Cognitive tasks showed that reaction time, visual process, motor speed and mood were similar in normothermic (p=0.001). Accuracy improved in hydrated hyperthermic by 1.2% (p=0.002) in Visual search. Total Mood Disturbance was significant in heat (p<0.001). Hydration status had no major effect in some cognition performance markers except for mood. Conclusion: The response times and accuracy improved following the cognitive testing in semi-professional athletes exercising in relatively humid, hot conditions. However, semi-professional athletes’ cognitive performances were relatively affected by hypohydration and their hydration status needs to be closely monitored during exercise.

Background It was previously reported that diethylnitrosamine (DEN) enhanced liver cancer progression in ATT-MYC mouse model of liver cancer. Radiogenomics is a new tool in advanced science technology that gives information on tumor biology, non-tumor surrounding tissue, the degree of tumor size and presence of necrosis of cells especially with joined micro computed tomography – positron emission tomographys (CT/PETs). Aim To evaluate the correlation of gene expression and non-invasive microPET information of the liver tumors at different points of the stage of growth. Methods Exon array expression of the liver of ATT-MYC mice treated with DEN or butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) compared to control non-transgenic mice were analyzed by array track and the current data were also compared to microarray expression of liver tumor of ATT-MYC mice. Results The expression of genes responsible for glucose transport such as glut1, 3, 4, hk1, slc1a5, slc1a1, slc1a4, slc1a2, gp6c and gpc-1-3-4 were up-regulated significantly in DEN-treated transgenic mice immediately after end of treatment (p≤0.05), while glut2 (fold change 0.9503, p-value 0.4385) and hk2 (fold change 3.0589, p-value 0.0565) genes were increased not significantly immediately after end of treatment. Additionally, at 4.5-months of observation after the end of treatment slc1a5, slc38a2, glut1, glut4 and gpc3-4 genes had a significant fold change in liver tumor tissue in DEN treated mice when compared to BHT or control transgenic or non-transgenic one. While hk1, 2, slc5a1, slc1a4, glut2, glut3, g6pc and gpc-1 genes were increased non-significantly in the liver of treated mice when compared to control group at 4.5-months of observation after the end of treatment. Notably, c-myc, hif-1 and aldoa glycolytic genes were expressed significantly both time points of 4 and 8.5-months while ldhb, hk-2 and PKM2 were increased non-significantly in DEN treatment when compared to BHT/control non-transgenic animals. Conclusion There is a definitive correlation between genes responsible for glucose transport and 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the early and advanced degree of liver carcinogenesis. This study of glucose pathway in Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) at different stages of early and advanced one is the potential for therapeutic anticancer therapy.

Carotid cavernous fistulae (CCF) are unique communication between the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA) and the cavernous sinus. CCF are rare and result from traumatic skull base fractures (0.2-0.8%). CCF resulting from iatrogenic intradural traumatic aneurysms are not common, and they are hard to treat using a surgical approach. This report presents the case of a female patient with iatrogenic CCF, which resulted from proximal ICA injury. The CCF was successfully treated using the endovascular coil embolization. The patient has reported improvement in her vision, one-year follow-up routine has indicated no recurrence with this technique.

The use of lead protection in patient contexts has recently come under scrutiny, with organisations moving towards ceasing its use in plain film radiography. The use of lead shielding in protecting staff in low-dose settings, such as plain film and mobile radiography, is therefore an important aspect of practice to be reviewed. The objective of this review is to evaluate the use of lead shielding in protecting staff in plain film and mobile radiography, while also exploring the evolution of occupational doses and perceptions of lead protection. While literature is limited on the use of lead protection for staff in mobile settings, lead protection has been shown to reduce staff and adjacent patient dose from scatter. Furthermore, despite the increased frequency of medical imaging procedures in contemporary radiography, the occupational doses of medical radiation workers have reduced over time. With literature demonstrating gaps in current understandings of radiobiological mechanisms at low doses, the linear no-threshold model utilised to estimate radiation risk and develop protection standards cannot be rejected. Thus, this review finds the need for further research to be undertaken to improve risk estimates at low doses in larger cohorts of medical radiation workers, for the demonstration of long-term effects from occupational exposure, prior to ceasing staff lead protection.

Currently, the COVID-19 pandemic is one of the major health issues in the world [1,2]. In December 2019, a population of patients with pneumonia of unknown etiology was found in Wuhan, China. Many of the first patients were associated with a local seafood shop and live wild animals [1]. Therefore, it was initially thought that the disease was transmitted from animal to human. But after closing the said shop, the number of infected cases increased and it seemed that the second method of transmission of this disease was human-to-human [3].
Paesaggi culturali intesi come integrazione di processi dinamici: il vomero da luogo di delizie a luogo urbano
Authors: Martone María
Published: January 2022

Il contributo illustra, attraverso gli strumenti della rappresentazione e del rilievo, le trasformazioni che il paesaggio della collina del Vomero a Napoli ha subito nel corso della storia, passando da "luogo di delizie" a "luogo urbano", continuando a caratterizzare il paesaggio dell’intera città. A tale scopo, si è ritenuto importante riconoscere e identificare, in uno spazio fisico, vissuto ed eterogeneo di un luogo, nel caso specifico, della collina del Vomero, i paesaggi culturali che contengono sia i segni del passato che quelli della contemporaneità. Delineare, quindi, quei processi dinamici che rappresentano la storia degli insediamenti umani in continua trasformazione, significa anche delineare il nostro patrimonio identitario, la cui conoscenza è necessaria per ritrovare il racconto di “chi siamo” e di “chi eravamo” e per costruire il futuro delle nuove generazioni.

Published: January 2022

En la actualidad, la ciudad mexicana de Puebla, declarada Patrimonio Mundial por la UNESCO en 1987 y con una actividad turística-cultural destacada, se encuentra en la demanda de políticas integrales que garanticen y eleven la calidad y la vida del patrimonio y de los ciudadanos. Dentro de estas actuaciones, como objetivo principal a analizar en el presente trabajo y partiendo de una perspectiva histórico-artística, destacamos la labor de conservación y preservación desarrollada por la Escuela Taller de Capacitación en Restauración de Puebla, creada a modelo de las españolas, como primer taller de México en 2001, año en el que inició la formación de jóvenes a fin de seguir incrementando el valor del patrimonio cultural poblano.
Espacio intermedio en los pueblos de colonización de Alejandro de la Sota
Authors: Flores Soto José Antonio
Published: January 2022

En el INC comenzaron sus carreras muchos arquitectos españoles luego reconocidos como ‘maestros’ de la arquitectura moderna española. Proyectaron pueblos para gente del campo. Aunque partieron de unos postulados muy rígidos, pudieron interpretarlos e introducir novedades de interés en ellos. Uno de aquellos arquitectos fue Alejandro de la Sota. En este estudio se presentan sus investigaciones sobre un espacio urbano de relación intermedio entre la plaza institucional y la calle funcional. A través de un recorrido analítico por los cinco pueblos que proyectase De la Sota en colonización, se muestra la gestación y configuración de este espacio novedoso entonces, tratado en paralelo al debate internacional del Team X. El objeto final es poner de manifiesto lo que espacialmente ganaron los pueblos del INC y sus habitantes con estas investigaciones urbanas; el caso de De la Sota es uno de los más interesantes en este aspecto.
El siglo XXI en entornos vacíos a través de los murales rurales. Un ejemplo en Puerto de Santa Cruz (Cáceres), obra de Sojo.
Authors: García Manso Angélica
Published: January 2022

Una de las características del arte mural contemporáneo radica en el traslado de una práctica predominantemente urbana a otra rural. El mural rural se inscribe en la dinamización cultural de los entornos en riesgo de vaciamiento de sus habitantes. En Puerto de Santa Cruz (Cáceres), el artista Sojo propone una estampa en torno a la fuente de la plaza cuando en el pasado servía de abastecimiento de agua. El mural posee reminiscencias de pinturas clásicas del Arte Español, de Sorolla y Murillo, pero también plantea una lectura mitológica a partir del mito de Eco y Narciso que traslada a una realidad del campo contemporáneo.
El Patrimonio agrario como marco de referencia de los paisajes culturales: criterios para su delimitación y protección
Authors: Castillo Ruíz José
Published: January 2022

Aunque la figura de paisaje cultural es la más utilizada para proceder al reconocimiento y actuación sobre los espacios agrarios, ésta presenta importantes carencias en aspectos fundamentales como la delimitación de dichos espacios o los mecanismos y medidas establecidos para su protección. Para poder avanzar en la mejora de estas deficiencias es necesario aplicar sobre los paisajes culturales agrarios los principios que rigen el Patrimonio Agrario, que es el marco conceptual que debería guiar cualquier actuación sobre los bienes agrarios, incluidos los paisajes culturales, que no son más que un instrumento legal, una tipología de bien inmueble (tal y como intentamos demostrar al principio de nuestro artículo), para abordar la tutela de la dimensión territorial (por otro lado, la más importante) de los bienes agrícolas, ganaderos y silvícolas.
