Effect of cover crops in olive groves on Cicadomorpha communities
Authors: Carpio Antonio J. , Solana Marta , Tortosa Francisco S. , Castro Jesús
Published: June 2020

Aim of study: To identify the environmental variables that affect the Cicadomorpha communities and the role played by cover crops in olive groves by comparing olive orchards with cover crop to those with bare ground.Area of study: Córdoba, Spain.Material and methods: Two study plots, one with cover crop and the other with bare ground, were delimited in three areas of olives orchards. Three passive samplings (May, June and July) were performed in each study plot to estimate the abundance and the species richness of potential Cicadomorphas vectors of Xylella fastidiosa. In each sampling, eight yellow sticky traps (22 × 35 cm) were randomly distributed in each study plot (n = 144 traps).Main results: The Cicadomorpha communities were mainly affected by landscape variables (such as the total surface and the distance to remnants of natural vegetation) and environmental variables (such as the temperature, moisture or ETo), whereas cover crops played a secondary role in the abundance of the Cicadomorpha.Research highlights: The results of the study suggest that Cicadomorpha richness and abundance depend on the structural complexity provided by cover crops (positive effect) and live hedges (negative effect), which may be owing to the higher food abundance and shelter when cover crops are present, whereas higher insect predation may occur close to hedges, probably owing to insectivorous song birds.
Patient-Report-Outcome-Measure and Incentives for Inpatient Chronic Care in Germany
Authors: Romeyke Tobias , Noehammer Elisabeth , Stummer Harald
Published: June 2020

INTRODUCTION: In general, incentive tools like pay for performance (P4P) have positive effects regarding treatment quality and financial outcomes. As they are applicable to the clinical management of chronic conditions like asthma and diabetes, this article analyses their potential for multimodal complex treatment of chronic rheumatic diseases.

METHODS: Cost data for chronic rheumatic diseases with and without specified complex treatments and their respective remuneration are compared to permit specific statements regarding incentive aspects in a DRG setting. Moreover, several standardized Patient-Report-Outcome-Measures (PROMs) are considered in the context of complex treatment to allow not only for efficiency, but also effectiveness evaluation.

RESULTS: In total, 375 patients with complex treatment for rheumatic conditions were surveyed from 2013 to 2018. The incentive is slightly below (4,821.05 €) the costs incurred for complex treatments (4,972.44 €). The results of the used PROMs are positive as pain intensity decreased considerably (p <.001, r=0.75) and mental state complaints were reduced (p <.001).

CONCLUSIONS: PROMs are valid instruments to capture changes in patient well-being. They also help to improve clinical operations and can be used for benchmarking. The P4P approach should cover the costs incurred to ensure the incentive structure.

Authors: Costa Carlos Alberto , Grandi Suzete , Alves William Roberto Ennes
Published: June 2020

O presente trabalho apresenta uma proposta de indicadores a serem utilizados em serviços de saúde, especialmente em clínicas de reabilitação. Tal proposta fornece insumos que instrumentalizam gestores a desenvolverem uma visão mais estratégica acerca dos serviços enquanto unidades de negócio, além de auxiliá-los quanto a informações que influenciam na qualidade dos serviços prestados. Inicialmente, foi realizado um mapeamento dos processos internos de um serviço de reabilitação física, por meio da notação de gerenciamento de processos de negócio BPMN - Business Process Management Notation, com o uso da ferramenta Bizagi Modeler. Foram identificados nove processos. Após o mapeamento inicial e a descrição dos processos, foram levantados, junto ao gestor, pontos de interesse dentro da organização, visando a otimização e a agilidade das atividades, bem como a redução de retrabalho e o aumento na qualidade da prestação dos serviços. Com base nisso, foram propostos os seguintes indicadores: tempo total de atendimento, tempo de processamento e volume de laudos, tempo de dispensação de órteses e próteses, tempo do processo de reabilitação e tempo de atendimento por consulta. Os indicadores criados tiveram como premissa o uso de informações já disponíveis dentro dos ambientes gerenciais da clínica. Num próximo trabalho, serão realizadas a implantação dos indicadores e a verificação dos reais impactos destes no serviço.

Authors: Loureiro Ruben , Ferreira João J. M. , Simões Jorge Manuel Marques
Published: June 2020

As Capacidades Dinâmicas de Aprendizagem (CDA) assumem-se como principal gerador de vantagem competitiva influenciando a dinâmica das organizações. O principal objetivo do trabalho é compreender, com base nos gestores logísticos das organizações de saúde, de que forma as CDA acrescentam eficiência às organizações de saúde, procurando a melhoria organizacional. Foi escolhida uma abordagem qualitativa, com recurso à entrevista e análise documental, baseada em quatro estudos de organizações de saúde do setor público e privado. Os resultados sugerem que nas diferentes organizações (publico, social, privado) as CDA acrescentam eficiência às organizações de saúde de forma muito dispare. As organizações do setor público não procuram melhoria organizacional através das CDA contrariamente às organizações do setor privado. O estudo pretende compreender de que forma as CDA acrescentam eficiência às organizações de saúde. Os resultados contribuem para a literatura atual sobre o tema, assim como um contributo prático às organizações de saúde.
Gestão estratégica de hospitais: uma análise da produção científica (2008-2018)
Authors: Felipe Luciano Maldonado , Stocker Lago Sandra Mara
Published: June 2020

A necessidade de adoção de ferramentas e técnicas já consolidadas em outros setores da economia com foco em uma gestão estratégica, ainda é um grande desafio para as organizações hospitalares. Logo, este estudo busca levantar e analisar a produção científica sobre “gestão estratégica hospitalar” no Brasil e no mundo entre 2008 a 2018, esboçando um panorama das principais ferramentas e técnicas que estão sendo estudadas para o desenvolvimento da gestão hospitalar, por meio de pesquisa de revisão sistemática e bibliográfica da literatura já produzida, aplicando leis da bibliometria (Lotka e Bradford) para análise de dados. Assim, estudos sobre ‘business intelligence’ (16 estudos), ‘avaliação de desempenho’ (15), ‘indicadores de gestão’ (13), ‘administração hospitalar’ (11), ‘administração estratégica’ (5) e ‘business activity monitoring’ (2), realizados por 159 autores e coautores, permearam as discussões sobre “gestão estratégica hospitalar”, especialmente no período de 2015 a 2018 (37 estudos, 60% do total). Contudo, não foi possível observar conexão entre as várias ferramentas e técnicas estudadas, tão pouco, qual o caminho ideal para uma “gestão estratégica hospitalar”. Por fim, este estudo buscou nivelar e organizar os diversos estudos selecionados, fornecendo visualização e compreensão do conhecimento sobre gestão estratégica de hospitais, sobretudo sobre a adoção do ‘business activity monitoring’, técnica que possibilita melhorar a velocidade e a eficácia das suas operações, evidenciando ainda alternativas para estudos e pesquisas futuras.
Problems, Limitations, and Challenges in Species Identification of Ascomycota Members on the Basis of ITS Regions
Authors: Baturo-Cieśniewska Anna , Pusz Wojciech , Patejuk Katarzyna
Published: June 2020

The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region is regarded as a formal fungal primary barcode with a high probability of the correct identification for a broad group of fungi. ITS sequences have been widely used to determine many fungal species and analysis of rDNA ITS is still one of the most popular tools used in mycology. However, this region is not equally variable in all groups of fungi; therefore, identification may be problematic and result in ambiguous data, especially in some species-rich genera of Ascomycota. For these reasons, identification based on rDNA ITS is usually complemented by morphological observations and analysis of additional genes. Reliable species identification of Ascomycota members is essential in diagnosing plant diseases, verifying air quality and the effectiveness of agronomic practices, or analyzing relationships between microorganisms. Therefore, the present study aimed to verify, using specific examples, the extent to which ITS sequence analysis is useful in species identification of pathogens and saprobionts from Ascomycota and demonstrate problems related to such identification in practice. We analyzed 105 ITS sequences of isolates originating from air and plant material. Basic local alignment search tool (BLASTn) significantly contributed to the reliable species identification of nearly 80% of isolates such as Arthrinium arundinis, Beauveria bassiana, Boeremia exigua, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Epicoccum nigrum, Nigrospora oryzae, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, or Sordaria fimicola and members of the genera Alternaria and Trichoderma. However, for most isolates, additional morphological observations, information regarding the isolate origin and, where possible, a PCR with species-specific primers were helpful and complementary. Using our practical approach, we determined that ITS-based species identification and comparative analysis with GenBank sequences significantly helps identifying Ascomycota members. However, in many cases, this should be regarded as suggestive of a taxon because the data usually require the use of additional tools to verify the results of such analysis.
Capital Adequacy Regulation
Authors: Siddika Aysa , Haron Razali
Published: June 2020

This chapter aims to provide a concise overview of the capital adequacy regulation, importance of the regulation, and evolution of the capital adequacy regulation. Bank capital executes the significant role of preventing the bank from failure and acts as a buffer against possible losses. Capital adequacy is the least amount of capital a bank has to preserve to execute the business, take advantage of profitable growth opportunities, absorb losses, and sustain the customers’ confidence on it. Several bank crises and bank defaults motivate the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision to provide a comprehensive guideline in managing bank capital. The capital adequacy regulation is an international standard to safeguard the banks through setting a risk-sensitive minimum capital requirement. The regulatory authority sets the regulatory capital, and the operating banks are required to maintain the adequate level of capital.
Contagion, Exchange Rate, and Financial Volatility: Indonesian Case in Global Financial Turbulence
Authors: Falianty Telisa , Budimanta Arif
Published: June 2020

Global turbulence after the financial crisis has hit Indonesia and almost all emerging countries. Quantitative Easing (QE) normalization (tapering of) has caused the capital outflows from emerging countries. Trade war and increasing geopolitical tension together raise the pressure. Argentina and Turkey have been experiencing economic shock. Indonesia should identify the contagion possibility and refer to Thai baht contagion experience in 1997. This paper assesses the contagion, exchange rate, and financial volatility triggered by global turbulence and Argentina-Turkey crisis in 2018. We use vector autoregression (VAR), simple correlation, dynamic conditional correlation (DCC), and regression method. We will investigate the potential contagion both in stock and exchange rate markets and in the rupiah exchange rate determination from both contagion and fundamental factors regarding the balance of payment (BOP) condition. The empirical result shows the potential contagion from Argentina and Turkey’s financial crisis to the Indonesian economy, especially to the stock market and exchange rate. The regression and correlation result also shows that Turkey has a higher financial contagion effect than Argentina to Indonesian financial market. Balance of payment condition also has the significant effect to explain rupiah exchange rate depreciation.
Current Advances in Mass Spectrometry Imaging for Insect Physiology and Metabolism
Authors: Yang Fei-Ying , He Wei-Yi , You Min-Sheng
Published: June 2020

Research regarding the distribution of metabolites is a vital aspect of insect molecular biology. However, current approaches (e.g., liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry or immunofluorescence) have cons like requirement of massive tissues, low efficiency, and complicated operating processes. As an emerging technology, mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) can visualize the spatiotemporal distribution of molecules in biological samples without labeling. In this chapter, we retrospect the major types of in situ measurement by MSI, and the application of MSI for investigating insect endogenous and exogenous metabolites and monitoring the dynamic changes of metabolites involved with the interactions between insects and plants. Future studies that combine MSI with other genetic tools can facilitate to better explore the underlying mechanisms concerning insect physiology and metabolism.
A Review of Virtual Inertia Techniques for Renewable Energy-Based Generators
Authors: Fernández-Guillamón Ana , Gómez-Lázaro Emilio , Muljadi Eduard , Molina-Garcia Ángel
Published: June 2020

Over recent decades, the penetration of renewable energy sources (RES), especially photovoltaic and wind power plants, has been promoted in most countries. However, as these both alternative sources have power electronics at the grid interface (inverters), they are electrically decoupled from the grid. Subsequently, stability and reliability of power systems are compromised. Inertia in power systems has been traditionally determined by considering all the rotating masses directly connected to the grid. Thus, as the penetration of renewable units increases, the inertia of the power system decreases due to the reduction of directly connected rotating machines. As a consequence, power systems require a new set of strategies to include these renewable sources. In fact, ‘hidden inertia,’ ‘synthetic inertia’ and ‘virtual inertia’ are terms currently used to represent an artificial inertia created by inverter control strategies of such renewable sources. This chapter reviews the inertia concept and proposes a method to estimate the rotational inertia in different parts of the world. In addition, an extensive discussion on wind and photovoltaic power plants and their contribution to inertia and power system stability is presented.
Methods of Collection and Transport of Materials to Laboratory from Oral and Dental Tissue Lesions
Authors: Sireesha Sundaragiri Krishna , Makarla Soumya , Sankhla Bharat
Published: June 2020

The oral pathology laboratory is the most resourceful place for the diagnosis of oral lesions. Most clinicians err on the collection and transport of oral and associated tissues to the laboratory. Oral tissue examination includes a wide range such as oral biopsy (for routine formalin fixed and fresh tissue), saliva, swabs, cytology smears and fine needle-aspirated, cystic fluid. This in turn adversely affects the final diagnosis of the disease. Thus, it is high time to appreciate and acknowledge the role of collection containers, fixing reagents and transport media as an adjunct for successful diagnosis.
Advances in Dropwise Condensation: Dancing Droplets
Authors: Wen Rongfu , Ma Xuehu
Published: June 2020

Vapor condensation is a ubiquitous phase change phenomenon in nature, as well as widely exploited in various industrial applications such as power generation, water treatment and harvesting, heating and cooling, environmental control, and thermal management of electronics. Condensation performance is highly dependent on the interfacial transport and its enhancement promises considerable savings in energy and resources. Recent advances in micro/nano-fabrication and surface chemistry modification techniques have not only enabled exciting interfacial phenomenon and condensation enhancement but also furthered the fundamental understanding of interfacial wetting and transport. In this chapter, we present an overview of dropwise condensation heat transfer with a focus on improving droplet behaviors through surface design and modification. We briefly summarize the basics of interfacial wetting and droplet dynamics in condensation process, discuss the underlying mechanisms of droplet manipulation for condensation enhancement, and introduce some emerging works to illustrate the power of surface modification. Finally, we conclude this chapter by providing the perspectives for future surface design in the field of condensation enhancement.

Resum: El propòsit d’aquest article és analitzar les formes d’entreteniment en la cort reial aragonesa a principis del segle XV, concretament, en el període entre 1424 i 1430 en què el rei Alfons el Magnànim (1416-1458) s’estableix a València. Amb d’aquest estudi volem establir quines són les activitats lúdiques del rei i dels nobles (justes, cacera, entreteniments musicals i qualsevol altre tipus de jocs i espectacles) i determinar quina era la missió d’aquestos jocs i passatemps en l’organització de la cort, la diplomàcia i les relacions del rei amb els aristòcrates o, encara, en la propaganda reial.Paraules clau Alfons el Magnànim, cort, jocs, noblesa, entreteniment.Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to analyze which were the forms of entertainment in the Aragonese Royal court at the beginning of the XVth century, more specifically, during the period between 1424 and 1430 during which the king Alfonso the Magnanimous (1416-1458) settled in Valencia. Through this paper, we expect to determine the leisure activities of the king and the noblemen (jousting, hunting, music entertainment and all sorts of shows and games) and to establish the role of the entertainment in organization of the court, the diplomacy, the relations between the king and the noblement or even in in the spread of royal propaganda.Keywords: Alfonso the Magnanimous, court, games, nobility, entertainment.
Ancora un plagio in Italia del Tirant lo Blanc: la lettera dedicatoria alla Tragicocomedia di Calisto e Melibea (1506)
Authors: Gesiot Jacopo
Published: June 2020

Riassunto: Nel 1506 usciva a Roma la prima versione italiana de La Celestina, corredata da una lettera dedicatoria del traduttore in gran parte risultato del plagio di diversi passaggi del Tirant lo Blanc di Joanot Martorell. Il presente articolo ha lo scopo di rendere notizia di questo stratagemma e, soprattutto, di chiarire le ragioni della contaminazione: all’inizio del Cinquecento la lettura del Tirant, oltre a essere un’occasione di svago, preservava il suo motivo formativo, come dimostrato dall’intento didascalico (almeno apparente) dichiarato dal primo traduttore certo di un brano di Martorell: Alfonso Ordóñez.Parole chiave: Tirant lo Blanc, traduzione, La Celestina, Rinascimento italiano.Abstract: The first translation of La Celestina appears in Rome in 1506 and it was furnished with a dedicatory letter by the translator, mostly composed of plagiarized fragment from Tirant lo Blanc by Joanot Martorell. The present article aims to publicize this stratagem and especially to explain the reason of this fusion: in the early of 15th century the reading of Tirant, besides the amusement, preserves its educational purpose, as we can see from the didactic intent of the first translator of some excerpts from Martorell: Alfonso Ordóñez.Keywords: Tirant lo Blanc, translation, La Celestina, Italian renaissance.
La Vita Christi d’Isabel de Villena, misericòrdia restaurativa i profitosa doctrina al servei de la meditació

Published: June 2020

Resum: Aquest article se centra en la intencionalitat de la Vita Christi d’Isabel de Villena, a partir dels aspectes controvertits que han sigut objecte de comentaris per part de la crítica literària, com ara la constant presència de les dones que envolten la vida de Jesucrist, així com el recurs a l’estil afectiu, pietós i emotiu que s’hi evidencia, i que hom ha considerat com a exponents de literatura profeminista o de gènere. En aquestes pàgines s’aporta una lectura de la Vita Christi basada en la influència del corrent espiritual de la devotio moderna, a mode d’ars meditandi, alhora que es reflexiona al voltant del propòsit doctrinal i didàctic de l’obra, en què la presència de les imatges femenines, que ara són redimides, així com de les imatges masculines, a les quals es concedeix el reconeixement pels actes virtuosos o el perdó per les faltes comeses, es justifica des de la misericòrdia restaurativa i la clemència divina, com a exemple a seguir per les monges, que són les receptores primeres de l’obra. Paraules clau: misericòrdia restaurativa, feminisme, doctrina, meditació, Vita Christi.Abstract: This article focuses on the intentionality of the Vita Christi of Isabel de Villena, based on the controversial aspects that have been the subject of comments by literary criticism, such as the constant presence of women surrounding the life of Jesus Christ, as well as the resource in the emotional, pious and emotional style that is evident, and that has been considered as exponents of prophecy or gender literature.

Published: June 2020

Resum: El treball posa en relleu dues maneres de desenvolupar els aspectes religiosos en el Tirant lo Blanc. Una manera que encaixa amb dificultat amb la doctrina de l’Església, però que sembla ajustar-s’hi quan la pràctica de la cavalleria pren forma de croada, mentre s’exposa una vivència formal, externa i rutinària del cristianisme, malgrat la seva omnipresència; i una altra en què hom procura respectar els articles de la fe i reconduir les conductes dels personatges a una experiència de la fe menys acomodatícia, i més preocupada per les exigències doctrinals.Paraules clau: Religió, Martorell, Tirant, croada, cavalleria, erotisme, humor, psalms, litúrgia.Abstract: This paper highlights two ways of explaining the religious matter in the Tirant lo Blanc. One way that hardly agrees with the Church’s doctrine, but seems to do so when the practice of chivalry takes form of crusade, meanwhile extending a formal, external and routine experience of Christianity, in spite of its omnipresence; and another one in which the writer tries to respect the articles of Faith and to redirect the behavior of the characters into a less accommodative faith experience, and more concerned with doctrinal requirements.Keywords: Religion, Martorell, Tirant, crusade, chivalry, erotism, humour, psalms, liturgy.
Corporeïtat, conflicte i abjecció en Les mans de la deixebla d’Anna Moner
Authors: Mira-Navarro Irene
Published: June 2020

Resum: Aquest article té per objectiu analitzar la novel·la Les mans de la deixebla d’Anna Moner (2011) com una obra a cavall entre la narració gòtica i l’ambientació històrica en el segle xviii, d’una banda, i com a exponent de la representació de la corporeïtat, d’una altra. Estudiem els mecanismes a través dels quals l’autora construeix tres personatges complexos que giren al voltant del conflicte generat per la naturalesa abjecta (Kristeva 2006) del cos de la protagonista. A partir d’aquest punt, ens proposem explorar com les mans deformades esdevenen un símbol que connecten amb la tradició gòtica (Cornich i Sedgwick 2017) i que en aquesta novel·la funcionen com un agent que distorsiona la psicologia de la protagonista. Estudiarem el procés d’abjecció del personatge principal en relació al rebuig del propi cos i alhora a la instrumentalització d’aquest com a agent capaç de fer trontollar la concepció il·lustrada de la ciència com a mitjà de progrés.Paraules clau: corporeïtat, abjecció, psicologisme, novel·la gòtica, dissecció.Abstract: The main aim of this article is to analyse the novel Les mans de la deixebla by Anna Moner (2011) both as a novel through gothic narration and the historical environment of the XVIII century, and as the exponent of the corporeality’s representation. We study the mechanisms through which the author builds three complex characters that turn around the conflict generated by the abject nature of the main character’s body (Kristeva 2006). From this point on, we look to explore how the deformed hands become into a symbol that connects with the gothic tradition (Cornich and Sedgwick 2017). In this novel, the hands also play the role of a disruptive agent of the main character’s psychology. We will study the abjection process of the main character related to the rejection of the own body and, at the same time, to its instrumentalization as an agent capable of undermining the illustrated conception of science as a means of progress.Keywords: corporeality, abjection, psycologism, Gothic novel, dissection.

Marginacions d’ahir i d’avui: drets humans i discursos discriminatoris a la pel·lícula También la lluvia
Authors: Ripa Valentina
Published: June 2020

Resum: Al present article s’analitza la pel·lícula También la lluvia, una bona mostra de com també el cine «pel gran públic» pot contribuir, a través de les seves representacions, a conscienciar els espectadors; en aquest cas, sobre temes com el genocidi indígena a l’edat moderna, la històrica marginació dels pobles indígenes d’Amèrica Llatina i el dret a l’aigua que hom posa en discussió arreu del món. S’hi destaca, especialment, el racisme inherent als discursos de les elits que estan reproduïts a la pel·lícula i que són una bona mostra –dins del codi realista de También la lluvia– d’idees i d’un llenguatge prou difós.

Paraules clau: Divulgació dels drets humans a través del cinema; anàlisi crític del discurs; pobles indígenes d’Amèrica Llatina; Bolívia entre els segles XX i XXI; Bartolomé de las Casas

Abstract: The present article analyses the film También la lluvia, a good example of how cinema «for the general public» can also contribute, through its representations, to people’s awareness; in this case, on themes such as the indigenous genocide in the modern era, the historical marginalisation of the indigenous peoples of Latin America and the right to water that is questioned all over the word. Particularly noteworthy is the inherent racism of the discourses of the elites that are reproduced in the film and that are a good example –in the realistic code of También la lluvia– of rather widespread ideas and language.

La fundación del Studium Generale de Lleida y la tradición jurídica ilerdense
Authors: Busqueta Joan J.
Published: June 2020

Resumen: Tras unas consideraciones sobre las relaciones entre el proceso de consolidación de una oligarquía urbana, durante el siglo XIII, y la misma fundación del Estudio General, entre otras razones esgrimidas por la historiografía, reflexionamos, en esta ocasión, sobre la tradición jurídica que ayudaría a definir el contexto normativo fundacional, y, derivado de esto, la necesidad e importancia de aquella primera Facultad de Derecho (Civil y Canónico) surgida en los territorios hispánicos de la Corona de Aragón, así como de los juristas que impartieron sus lecciones y de aquellos que las recibieron.

Abstract: After some considerations on the relationships between the process of consolidation of an urban oligarchy, during the 13th century, and the foundation of the General Study, among other reasons given by hisotriography, we reflect, on this occasion, on the legal tradition, that would help define the foundational normative context, and, derived from this, the need and importance of that first Faculty of Law emerged in the Hispanic territories of the Crown of Aragon, as well as of the jurists who taught their lessons and of those who received them.

Els orígens de l’Estudi General de Girona: uns començaments que es faran esperar
Authors: Torres Xavier
Published: June 2020

Resum: Els orígens i la trajectòria mateixa de l’Estudi General de Girona (1446-1717) són força mal coneguts encara, sobretot per unes mancances documentals que semblen de mal solucionar a curt i potser a llarg termini. En aquestes pàgines s’ofereix, doncs, una síntesi de l’evolució del vell Estudi gironí, tot remarcant el seus inicis més aviat tardans, a la segona meitat del segle xvi, és a dir, un segle després de l’obtenció del pertinent privilegi reial. Aquesta lenta arrencada de la universitat gironina es pot explicar per les vicissituds polítiques, econòmiques i religioses tant del període com de la ciutat de Girona.

Paraules clau: Universitat, Girona, Època moderna, Estudis superiors

Abstract: The origins and the secular evolution of the Estudi General de Girona are not yet well known because of a notorious lack of sources. Such a problem does not seem to have an easy solution in the short and even long term. Therefore, only a general view can be offered at the moment. Such a survey remarks the laborious beginnings of the old Girona university, a century after the perceptive royal permission was given. Besides, the long way of the Estudi is related to the political, economic and religious events of the period, as well as the city.

Los difíciles orígenes de la Universidad de Barcelona (1401-1559)
Authors: Fernández Luzón Antonio
Published: June 2020

Resum: La primera institución verdaderamente universitaria de Barcelona fue el Estudio General de Medicina fundado por el rey Martín I en 1401, al que al año siguiente añadió una facultad de Artes. Habría que esperar hasta 1559 para que el ayuntamiento llegara a un acuerdo con la universidad de los médicos y pusiera en práctica el antiguo privilegio que le otorgó Alfonso el Magnánimo, en 1450, para fundar un Estudio General con todas las facultades. Esta institución universitaria, financiada y gobernada por el municipio, se convirtió rápidamente en un avanzado centro de saber con una gran proyección cultural y política en la Cataluña moderna.

Palabras clave: Universidad, Estudio General, humanismo, artes liberales

Abstract: The first truly university institution in Barcelona was the medical Studium Generale, founded by Martin I in 1401. The next year an arts faculty was added. It was necessary to wait until 1559 for the town hall to reach an agreement with the medical faculty to put into practice the old privilege granted by Alfonso the Magnanimous, who in 1450 founded a Estudio General with all faculties. This university institution, funded and governed by the municipality, quickly became an advanced center of knowledge with a great cultural and political projection in modern Catalonia.

Resum: L’article ressegueix l’itinerari històric de l’Estudi, o Universitat, dominica de Tortosa, institució fundada el 1529, que atorgà graus d’Arts i Teologia fins al 1717, any de l’abolició de les universitats catalanes per Felip V. El centre gaudí d’un reconegut prestigi i fou un pol d’atracció per a alumnes de tota la Corona d’Aragó. Cal notar que l’abolició del 1717 no va significar el tancament de les aules, sinó la privació d’atorgar graus acadèmics. Així, podem dir que l’activitat pedagògica continuà fins el 1824, any de la fundació d’un seminari conciliar.

Abstract: This paper explains the history of the dominican Convent-university of Tortosa. This institution, founded in 1529, was entitled to award degrees in arts and theology until the merging of all Catalan universities into the new center of Cervera, in 1717. The well-known and prestigious University of Tortosa attracted students all over the Crown of Aragon. Though the center was disallowed to confer degrees, the 1717 abolishment was not the end of the pedagogical activity, which continued until the foundation of a conciliar Seminary, in 1824.

La Universitat de Cervera: Un projecte reformista frustrat
Authors: Prats Joaquim
Published: June 2020

Resum: La universitat de Cervera, fundada per Felip V, suposà una fita important per a Catalunya: per un costat, naixia com un projecte borbònic de futur i, per un altre, significava que les universitats catalanes històriques havien estat abolides, en virtut de la política repressora del nou monarca. El present article analitza aquella institució i el fracàs d’aquell projecte. La creació de la Universitat ha de situar-se en un context reformista de tall centralista, propi de les noves monarquies europees que van prendre com a imatge la cort i l’acció en política interna de Lluís XIV. Tanmateix, amb el pas dels anys, aquella proposta es va veure frustada.

Paraules clau: Universitat de Cervera, orígens, declivi, Catalunya, segle XVIII

Abstract: The University of Cervera, founded by Philip V, was an important milestone for Catalonia: on the one hand, it was born as a Bourbon project for the future and, on the other, it meant that historic Catalan universities had been abolished, under the policy repressive of the new monarch. This article discusses that institution and the failure of that project. The creation of the University must be situated in a reformist context of a centralist nature, typical of the new European monarchies that took as their image the court and action in domestic politics of Louis XIV. However, over the years, that proposal was thwarted.

A typology of student diversity and an inclusive student learning support system: Insights for higher education
Authors: Lim Weng Marc
Published: June 2020

Higher education today is characterized by a highly diversified student population. This, in turn, calls for greater inclusivity in higher education. To answer this call, this paper introduces a typology of student diversity in, and an inclusive student learning support system for,
higher education. More specifically, the typology of student diversity suggests that students in higher education may comprise of adults, school leavers, indigenous students, low socio-economic background students, and international students. The typology explains each student classification
in detail using five relevant factors, namely autonomy, anxiety, motivation, discipline, and life experience. Finally, the paper offers some pertinent insights to create an inclusive student learning support system for higher education based on the insights derived from the typology of student
diversity in higher education.
Tornedalian Teachers’ and Principals’ in the Swedish Education System: Exploring Decolonial Pockets in the Aftermaths of ‘Swedification’
Authors: Poromaa Isling Pär
Published: June 2020

This article explores decolonial pockets among Tornedalian teachers and principals by scrutinising the pre-requisites for school staff to integrate Tornedalen’s minority culture and practise the Meänkieli language in ordinary teaching and learning. It also investigates the challenges and opportunities aligned with such en-deavours. The data collection is based on qualitative focus-group and individual interviews with teachers, principals and pupils at upper secondary schools in two Tornedalian municipalities, in Northern Sweden. The findings reveal a practice in which teachers’ and principals’ Tornedalian cultural background is either more or less prominent, depending on the occasion. Particularly in the classroom context, teachers are obliged to mute and put aside their minority language, Meänkieli. Thus, they transform their behaviour and adopt a Swedish manner of conduct in their contacts with pupils. Consequently, teachers’ Tornedalian cul-tural identity becomes less prominent. Simultaneously, Swedish school culture takes precedence, and its authority controls what can be seen as proper educational subjects as well as the classroom’s social interactions. The analysis, guided by decolonising perspectives, reveals that minority language and cultural practices are mainly alive and active in the unofficial settings of the schools. These manifestations of resistance against the Swedish language and Swedish culture’s dominance of school practices, which remain alive in these decolonial pockets, is not organised and not part of official school practice. However, the conversations with school staff and pupils revealed that the competence, desire and strategies exist to ignite a pedagogy more inclusive of minority perspectives that can facilitate the transfer of Tornedalian minority knowledge and perspectives to pupils. This could empower decolonial Meänkieli practices and revitalise Tornedalian culture among young Tornedalians.
Identifying potential threats to soil biodiversity
Authors: Tibbett Mark , Fraser Tandra D. , Duddigan Sarah

A decline in soil biodiversity is generally considered to be the reduction of forms of life living in soils, both in terms of quantity and variety. Where soil biodiversity decline occurs, it can significantly affect the soils’ ability to function, respond to perturbations and recover from a disturbance. Several soil threats have been identified as having negative effects on soil biodiversity, including human intensive exploitation, land-use change and soil organic matter decline. In this review we consider what we mean by soil biodiversity, and why it is important to monitor. After a thorough review of the literature identified on a Web of Science search concerning threats to soil biodiversity (topic search: threat* “soil biodiversity”), we compiled a table of biodiversity threats considered in each paper including climate change, land use change, intensive human exploitation, decline in soil health or plastic; followed by detailed listings of threats studied. This we compared to a previously published expert assessment of threats to soil biodiversity. In addition, we identified emerging threats, particularly microplastics, in the 10 years following these knowledge based rankings. We found that many soil biodiversity studies do not focus on biodiversity sensu stricto, rather these studies examined either changes in abundance and/or diversity of individual groups of soil biota, instead of soil biodiversity as a whole, encompassing all levels of the soil food web. This highlights the complexity of soil biodiversity which is often impractical to assess in all but the largest studies. Published global scientific activity was only partially related to the threats identified by the expert panel assessment. The number of threats and the priority given to the threats (by number of publications) were quite different, indicating a disparity between research actions versus perceived threats. The lack of research effort in key areas of high priority in the threats to soil biodiversity are a concerning finding and requires some consideration and debate in the research community.
Conservation implications of using an imitation carnivore to assess rarely used refuges as critical habitat features in an alpine ungulate
Authors: Sarmento Wesley , Berger Joel
Published: June 2020

Understanding relationships between animals and their habitat is a central goal in ecology with important implications for conservation. Misidentified habitat requirements can have serious repercussions because land protection or reintroductions might occur in less than optimal habitat. Studies of resource selection have greatly facilitated an understanding of ecological relationships but can be improved when vital yet infrequently utilized habitat features are more fully described. A critical element for many prey species is escape terrain or some other form of refuge to avoid predation. Mountain goats (Oreamnos americanus) are well known for their use of cliffs to avoid predation, but a survey of the literature revealed at least twelve different approximations of goat escape terrain, ranging from > 25° to > 50° slopes. Here, we seek to (1) enhance estimates of mountain goat escape terrain and antipredator behavior, and (2) highlight the limitations of the assumption that the time an animal spends in an area is proportional to importance. To improve estimates of goat escape terrain, we conducted field work across two years (2014–15) in Glacier National Park, Montana USA and manipulated apparent predation risk by exposing mountain goats to a threatening simulated grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) treatment and a non-threatening ungulate (control) treatment. Mountain goats moved in response to the simulated bear but not in response to the simulated ungulate, with shorter latencies to move for subjects in larger groups and at shorter distances to the simulated threat. Through a used-unused resource selection function we tested 22 landscape variables to describe the use of escape terrain. Proximity to slopes greater than 60° best explained the locations to which mountain goats fled after exposure to the simulated bear, and the average slope of these escape locations was 56.5° (±14.1 S.D.). Our results suggest that mountain goat escape terrain be considered at slopes of 60° as a minimum because our simulated threat did not include pursuit of goats and, thus, slopes of 60° are likely underestimates of actual escape terrain. Additionally, because direct interactions between carnivores and goats seldom occur, serious escape terrain is infrequently used. Past estimates of escape may have miscalculated the slopes which goats select for in response to predation risk. Based on experimental approaches in the wild, we suggest that anti-predator behavior should be included in studies of resource selection when the goal is to consider habitat as a predictor for conservation success. Finally, we discuss evidence suggesting a past mountain goat introduction failed due to lack of adequate escape terrain and subsequent recolonization of a predator.
