Authors: Wu J. , Liao M. , Li N.
Published: May 2018

Abstract. With the rapid development of urban economy, convenient, safe, and efficient urban rail transit has become the preferred method for people to travel. In order to ensure the safety and sustainable development of urban rail transit, the PS-InSAR technology with millimeter deformation measurement accuracy has been widely applied to monitor the deformation of urban rail transit. In this paper, 32 scenes of COSMO-SkyMed descending images and 23 scenes of Envisat ASAR images covering the Shanghai Metro Line 6 acquired from 2008 to 2010 are used to estimate the average deformation rate along line-of-sight (LOS) direction by PS-InSAR method. The experimental results show that there are two main subsidence areas along the Shanghai Metro Line 6, which are located between Wuzhou Avenue Station to Wulian Road Station and West Gaoke Road Station to Gaoqing Road Station. Between Wuzhou Avenue Station and Wulian Road Station, the maximum displacement rate in the vertical direction of COSMO-SkyMed images is −9.92 mm/year, and the maximum displacement rate in the vertical direction of Envisat ASAR images is −8.53 mm/year. From the West Gaoke Road Station to the Gaoqing Road Station, the maximum displacement rate in the vertical direction of COSMO-SkyMed images is −15.53 mm/year, and the maximum displacement rate in the vertical direction of Envisat ASAR images is −17.9 mm/year. The results show that the ground deformation rates obtained by two SAR platforms with different wavelengths, different sensors and different incident angles have good consistence with each other, and also that of spirit leveling.

Authors: Xia Z. , Cheng S. , Huang Q. , Tian G.
Published: May 2018

Abstract. The high resolution satellite with the longer focal length and the larger aperture has been widely used in georeferencing of the observed scene in recent years. The consistent end to end model of high resolution remote sensing satellite geometric chain is presented, which consists of the scene, the three line array camera, the platform including attitude and position information, the time system and the processing algorithm. The integrated design of the camera and the star tracker is considered and the simulation method of the geolocation accuracy is put forward by introduce the new index of the angle between the camera and the star tracker. The model is validated by the geolocation accuracy simulation according to the test method of the ZY-3 satellite imagery rigorously. The simulation results show that the geolocation accuracy is within 25m, which is highly consistent with the test results. The geolocation accuracy can be improved about 7 m by the integrated design. The model combined with the simulation method is applicable to the geolocation accuracy estimate before the satellite launching.
STUDY ON LANDSLIDE DISASTER EXTRACTION METHOD BASED ON SPACEBORNE SAR REMOTE SENSING IMAGES – TAKE ALOS PALSAR FOR AN EXAMPLE
Authors: Xue D. , Yu X. , Jia S. , Chen F. , Li X.
Published: May 2018

Abstract. In this paper, sequence ALOS PALSAR data and airborne SAR data of L-band from June 5, 2008 to September 8, 2015 are used. Based on the research of SAR data preprocessing and core algorithms, such as geocode, registration, filtering, unwrapping and baseline estimation, the improved Goldstein filtering algorithm and the branch-cut path tracking algorithm are used to unwrap the phase. The DEM and surface deformation information of the experimental area were extracted. Combining SAR-specific geometry and differential interferometry, on the basis of composite analysis of multi-source images, a method of detecting landslide disaster combining coherence of SAR image is developed, which makes up for the deficiency of single SAR and optical remote sensing acquisition ability. Especially in bad weather and abnormal climate areas, the speed of disaster emergency and the accuracy of extraction are improved. It is found that the deformation in this area is greatly affected by faults, and there is a tendency of uplift in the southeast plain and western mountainous area, while in the southwest part of the mountain area there is a tendency to sink. This research result provides a basis for decision-making for local disaster prevention and control.

The results of the case study demonstrate that UAV remote sensing is capable of providing fast and accurate measurements and calculations for the needs of monitoring of riparian constructions.
AIRCRAFT SEGMENTATION IN SAR IMAGES BASED ON IMPROVED ACTIVE SHAPE MODEL
Authors: Zhang X. , Xiong B. , Kuang G.
Published: May 2018

Abstract. In SAR image interpretation, aircrafts are the important targets arousing much attention. However, it is far from easy to segment an aircraft from the background completely and precisely in SAR images. Because of the complex structure, different kinds of electromagnetic scattering take place on the aircraft surfaces. As a result, aircraft targets usually appear to be inhomogeneous and disconnected. It is a good idea to extract an aircraft target by the active shape model (ASM), since combination of the geometric information controls variations of the shape during the contour evolution. However, linear dimensionality reduction, used in classic ACM, makes the model rigid. It brings much trouble to segment different types of aircrafts. Aiming at this problem, an improved ACM based on ISOMAP is proposed in this paper. ISOMAP algorithm is used to extract the shape information of the training set and make the model flexible enough to deal with different aircrafts. The experiments based on real SAR data shows that the proposed method achieves obvious improvement in accuracy.

Authors: Zhang X.
Published: May 2018

Abstract. To coordinate with the small UAV at reconnaissance mission, we’ve developed a smart multi-functional integrated aviation photoelectric payload. The payload weighs only 1kg, and has a two-axis stabilized platform with visible task payload, infrared task payload, laser pointers and video tracker. The photoelectric payload could complete the reconnaissance tasks above the target area (including visible and infrared). Because of its light weight, small size, full-featured, high integrated, the constraints of the UAV platform carrying the payload will be reduced a lot, which helps the payload suit for more extensive using occasions. So all users of this type of smart multi-functional integrated aviation photoelectric payload will do better works on completion of the ground to better pinpoint targets, artillery calibration, assessment of observe strike damage, customs officials and other tasks.
COMPARISON AND ANALYSIS OF ACCURACY OF ELEVATION EXTRACTION BASED ON THE ZY-3 01 AND 02 SATELLITES STEREOSCOPIC IMAGES
Authors: Zhao L. , Fu X. , Dou X. , Liu H. , Fang Z.
Published: May 2018

Abstract. The ZY-3 is the civil high-resolution optical stereoscopic mapping satellite independently developed by China. The ZY-3 constellation of the twin satellites operates in a sun-synchronous, near-polar, circular 505 km orbit, with a descending location time of 10:30 AM and a 29-day revisiting period. The panchromatic triplet sensors, pointing forward, nadir, and backward with an angle of 22°, have excellent base-to-height ratio, which is beneficial to the extraction of DEM. In order to extract more detailed and highprecision DEM, the ZY-3 (02) satellite has been upgraded based on the ZY-3 (01), and the GSD of the stereo camera has been optimized from 3.5 to 2.5 meters. In the paper case studies using the ZY-3 01 and the 02 satellite data for block adjustment and DEM extraction have been carried out in Liaoning Province of China. The results show that the planimetric and altimetric accuracy can reach 3 meters, which meet the mapping requirements of 1 : 50,000 national topographic map and the design performance of the satellites. The normalized elevation accuracy index (NEAI) is adopted to evaluate the twin satellite stereoscopic performance, and the NEAIs of the twin ZY-3 satellites are good and the index of the ZY-3(02) is slightly better. The comparison of the overlapping DEMs from the twin ZY-3 satellites and SRTM is analysed. The bias and the standard deviation of all the DEMs are better than 5 meters. In addition, in the process of accuracy comparison, some gross errors of the DEM can be identified, and some elevation changes of the DEM can also be found. The differential DEM becomes a new tool and application.

Published: May 2018

Abstract. In the traditional cultural relics splicing process, in order to identify the correct spatial location of the cultural relics debris, experts need to manually splice the existing debris. The repeated contact between debris can easily cause secondary damage to the cultural relics. In this paper, the application process of 3D model of cultural relic in virtual restoration is put forward, and the relevant processes and ideas are verified with the example of Terracotta Warriors data. Through the combination of traditional cultural relics restoration methods and computer virtual reality technology, virtual restoration of high-precision 3D models of cultural relics can provide a scientific reference for virtual restoration, avoiding the secondary damage to the cultural relics caused by improper restoration. The efficiency and safety of the preservation and restoration of cultural relics have been improved.
HIGH-RESOLUTION REMOTE SENSING IMAGE BUILDING EXTRACTION BASED ON MARKOV MODEL
Authors: Zhao W. , Yan L. , Chang Y. , Gong L.
Published: May 2018

Abstract. With the increase of resolution, remote sensing images have the characteristics of increased information load, increased noise, more complex feature geometry and texture information, which makes the extraction of building information more difficult. To solve this problem, this paper designs a high resolution remote sensing image building extraction method based on Markov model. This method introduces Contourlet domain map clustering and Markov model, captures and enhances the contour and texture information of high-resolution remote sensing image features in multiple directions, and further designs the spectral feature index that can characterize “pseudo-buildings” in the building area. Through the multi-scale segmentation and extraction of image features, the fine extraction from the building area to the building is realized. Experiments show that this method can restrain the noise of high-resolution remote sensing images, reduce the interference of non-target ground texture information, and remove the shadow, vegetation and other pseudo-building information, compared with the traditional pixel-level image information extraction, better performance in building extraction precision, accuracy and completeness.

Published: May 2018

Abstract. As the headstream of the Yellow River, the Yangtze River and the Lantsang River, located in the hinterland of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Qinghai province is hugely significant for ecosystem as well as for ecological security and sustainable development in China. With the accomplishment of the first national geographic condition census, the frequent monitoring has begun. The classification indicators of the census and monitoring data are highly correlated with Technical Criterion for Ecosystem Status Evaluation released by Ministry of Environmental Protection in 2015. Based on three years’ geographic conditions data (2014–2016), Landsat-8 images and thematic data (water resource, pollution emissions, meteorological data, soil erosion, etc.), a multi-years and high-precision eco-environment status evaluation and spatiotemporal change analysis of Qinghai province has been researched on the basis of Technical Criterion for Ecosystem Status Evaluation in this paper. Unlike the evaluation implemented by environmental protection department, the evaluation unit in this paper is town rather than county. The evaluation result shows that the eco-environment status in Qinghai is generally in a fine condition, and has significant regional differences. The eco-environment status evaluation based on national geographic conditions census and monitoring data can improve both the time and space precision. The eco-environment status with high space precise and multi-indices is a key basis for environment protection decision-making.

Abstract. Malaria is a vector borne disease which is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. It is one of the major diseases in the category of infectious diseases. The survival and bionomics of malaria is affected by environmental factors such as climatic, demographic and land-use/land-cover etc. Currently, a very few under developing countries are using Geo-informatics approaches to control this disease. Gujrat a district of Pakistan, is still under threat of malaria disease. Current research is carried on malaria incidents obtained from District Executive Officer of Health Gujrat. The objective of this study was to explore the spatio-temporal patterns of malaria in district Gujrat and to identify the areas being affected by Malaria. Furthermore, it has been also analyzed the relationship between malaria incident and environmental factors in highly favorable zones. Data is analyzed based on spatial and temporal patterns using (Moran’s I). Moreover cluster and hot spots analysis were performed on the incident data. This study shows positive correlation with rainfall, vegetation index, population density and water bodies; while it shows positive and negative correlation with temperature in different seasons. However, variation between amount of vegetation and water bodies were observed. Finding of this research can help the decision makers to take preventive measures and reduce the morbidity and mortality related with malaria in Gujrat, Pakistan.
Near- and far-field tsunami waves, displaced water volume,
potential energy and velocity flow rates by a stochastic
submarine earthquake source model
Authors: Ramadan Khaled T.
Published: May 2018

Abstract. Sources of tsunamis are non-uniform and commonly uncorrelated and very difficult to predict. The best ideal way to appear their aspects is through heterogeneous or stochastic source models which are more realistic. The effect of random fluctuation of submarine earthquake modeled by vertical time-dependent displacement of a stochastic source model is investigated on the tsunami generation and propagation waves. The noise intensity parameter controls the increase of the stochastic bottom amplitude which results in increasing the oscillations and amplitude in the free surface elevation which provides an additional contribution to tsunami waves. The L2 norm of the free surface elevation, the displaced water volume and the potential energy are examined. These quantitative information about predicting tsunami risk are useful for risk managers who decide to issue warnings and evacuation orders. The horizontal average velocity flow rates of the tsunami wave are investigated. The average velocity flow rates can provide valuable information about the stochastic bottom topography by the distinctive velocity oscillations. Flow velocity is of importance in risk assessment and hazard mitigation which may provide a clear signal of tsunami flows. Time series of the flow velocities and wave gauges under the effect the water depth of the ocean are investigated.

Authors: Slater Thomas , Shepherd Andrew , McMillan Malcolm , Muir Alan , Gilbert Lin , Hogg Anna E. , Konrad Hannes , Parrinello Tommaso
Published: May 2018

Abstract. We present a new digital elevation model (DEM) of the Antarctic ice
sheet and ice shelves based on 2.5×108 observations
recorded by the CryoSat-2 satellite radar altimeter between
July 2010 and July 2016. The DEM is formed from spatio-temporal fits
to elevation measurements accumulated within 1, 2, and 5 km
grid cells, and is posted at the modal resolution of
1 km. Altogether, 94 % of the grounded ice sheet and
98 % of the floating ice shelves are observed, and the remaining
grid cells north of 88∘ S are interpolated using ordinary
kriging. The median and root mean square difference between the DEM
and 2.3×107 airborne laser altimeter measurements
acquired during NASA Operation IceBridge campaigns are −0.30 and
13.50 m, respectively. The DEM uncertainty rises in regions
of high slope, especially where elevation measurements were
acquired in low-resolution mode; taking this into account, we
estimate the average accuracy to be 9.5 m – a value that is
comparable to or better than that of other models derived from
satellite radar and laser altimetry.
Práticas de violências na fronteira: estudo sobre os garimpos de diamante em Juína, MT (1987-1994)
Authors: Joanoni Neto Vitale , Cesar dos Santos Júlio
Published: May 2018

Este artigo realiza uma discussão inicial acerca das relações de poder e da violência nas áreas de fronteira reocupadas por diferentes grupos sociais, tais como mineradores tradicionais, prostitutas, peões e comerciantes, nos espaços dos garimpos, constituídos a partir das descobertas de jazidas diamantíferas no município de Juína, Noroeste de Mato Grosso, Brasil, entre os anos de 1987 e 1994. O poder é compreendido como relação legítima de comando e obediência, ao passo que violência é pensada como instrumento de dominação e imposição sobre o outro em locais cuja presença do Estado é incipiente. Weber e Arendt são importantes referências para o diálogo da relação entre poder e violência. A fronteira é pensada na lógica das frentes de expansão e pioneirismo de José de Souza Martins. O recurso da história oral foi utilizado para recuperar relatos de violência nesses espaços, em especial no Garimpo do Arroz.
A expedição militar ao norte do Paraguai antes da Retirada da Laguna
Authors: Maestri Mário
Published: May 2018

A coluna militar enviada em inícios de 1865 através do interior do Império do Brasil para atacar o norte do Paraguai tinha sobretudo objetivos propagandísticos. Acreditava-se que a guerra terminaria muito antes que chegasse ao seu destino. Malcomandada e mal-organizada, ela deixaria rastro de mortos por doenças e deserções, antes de avançar, em junho de 1867, alguns quilômetros adentro do norte desabitado do território paraguaio, antes de empreender desastrada retirada. Pouco se destaca que essa última operação foi coordenada com o, igualmente paradoxal, assalto, a conquista e o abandono da vila de Corumbá, pelo apenas momeado presidente da província, o jovem Couto Magalhães.

O objetivo foi investigar a prevalência do uso de medicamentos cardiovasculares e sua associação com variáveis sociodemográficas
e clínicas em idosos atendidos na Estratégia Saúde da Família por meio de um estudo transversal realizado no município
de Porto Alegre. A coleta de dados foi feita com um questionário que observou aspectos sociodemográficos, econômicos, relacionados a doenças autorreferidas e uso de medicamentos. Foram avaliados 761 idosos, que tiveram 67,7% de prevalência de
uso de medicamentos cardiovasculares. As características que mostraram uma associação significativa, de forma independente,
com o uso de alguma medicação cardiovascular foram: sexo feminino, cor negra, consulta nos últimos seis meses, hipertensão,
diabetes e doença cerebrovascular. Os medicamentos cardiovasculares e as classes mais utilizadas, respectivamente,
foram: hidroclorotiazida (34,8%) e captopril (33,5%); agentes que atuam sobre o sistema renina-angiotensina (46,8%) e diuréticos
(42%). Esses dados são importantes, pois a população idosa é afetada sobretudo por doenças cardiovasculares, e dados populacionais podem auxiliar na formulação de estratégias e políticas públicas voltadas, principalmente, para a população idosa
atendida pelo Sistema Único de Saúde.

Published: May 2018

O rápido processo de envelhecimento populacional aponta para a necessidade de repensar a atenção no cuidado dos idosos, considerando a mudança de paradigmas que busca compreender a importância das crenças pessoais e espirituais e sua relação com o aumento de bem-estar e qualidade de vida dos idosos. Este estudo tem o objetivo de conhecer a percepção da qualidade de vida de idosos residentes em instituições de longa permanência para idosos e sua relação com a espiritualidade. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo de natureza qualitativa de que participaram 35 idosos de ambos os sexos, com idades entre 60 e 93 anos, de três municípios paulistas – Ribeirão Preto, Franca e São Joaquim da Barra.
Esses idosos responderam a uma entrevista aberta, que foi, posteriormente, transcrita e categorizada. O estudo foi conduzido em novembro de 2015. Foram propostas duas categorias temáticas, de acordo com a técnica da análise do conteúdo: a) Qualidade de vida: saúde, lazer e autonomia; e b) Espiritualidade: bem-estar e valor para a vida. Os relatos demonstraram que os idosos entendiam que a qualidade de vida estava intimamente relacionada a ter saúde, lazer, autonomia para as atividades diárias e contato com familiares e amigos. Os idosos reconheceram que a religião e algumas práticas espirituais afetavam positivamente a qualidade de vida. A espiritualidade foi importante também como um sistema de valores para a vida, dimensionando atos e dirigindo ações e condutas pessoais, fatores que, segundo eles, interferiam na percepção da boa qualidade de vida. Conclui-se que a espiritualidade pode ser importante aliada para o desenvolvimento de ações nos âmbitos social, da saúde, da assistência, atuando ainda como apoio para o enfrentamento das adversidades típicas do envelhecimento e da proximidade da finitude da vida, refletindo na qualidade de vida e no bem-estar nessa fase da existência.
Teoria da instrução como cultivo social do espírito humano: papel formativo do interesse e da disciplina em John Dewey
Authors: Dalbosco Claudio Almir
Published: May 2018

O ensaio investiga aspectos da teoria educacional de John Dewey, tomando como referência textual o capítulo X de Democracy and Education. Procura mostrar a profunda influência que o pedagogo americano sofre da tradição filosófica passada e, simultaneamente, sua extraordinária capacidade de ir além de tal tradição. Trata, na primeira parte, de sua nova noção de Mind (Geist), resultante de sua crítica ao modelo idealista, deixando claro o conflito entre, por um lado, o espírito como entidade mental isolada e independente da experiência humana e, por outro, como ação mediada simbolicamente, cujo sentido brota da condição social da linguagem humana. Na segunda parte, mostra que a condição ativa e participante do espírito permite a Dewey conceber sua teoria da educação como teoria da instrução, interpretando-a no sentido de preparação do ser humano para assumir formas democráticas de vida. É nesse contexto que ele atribui papel indispensável tanto ao interesse como à disciplina. O ensaio procura mostrar, em síntese, que a teoria da instrução ancorada nas noções de interesse e disciplina torna-se referência moral indispensável para Dewey pensar a democracia como forma de vida e organização social.
Dewey e os sofistas: a tirania do lógos e as bases para uma educação retórica1
Authors: Da Silva Tatiane
Published: May 2018

A comparação dos princípios filosóficos e educacionais de John Dewey com as teses de filósofos que escreveram na Grécia Clássica constitui um recurso frutífero para compreender as concepções e propostas deweyanas. O presente trabalho analisa as concepções Sofísticas, especialmente as de Protágoras, Górgias e Hípias, juntamente com teorizações de Dewey, focalizando a relevância do lógos, entendido como comunicação, raciocínio, inteligência e deliberação em uma sociedade democrática, evidenciando a demanda por uma educação retórica. A metodologia utilizada para elaborar os marcos discursivos dos autores analisados é a análise retórica, cujo fundamento são as proposições aristotélicas retomadas por Chaïm Perelman e Lucie Olbrechts-Tyteca (1996). A argumentação dos Sofistas e a de Dewey evidenciam que o desenvolvimento do homem e da inteligência humana se dá por meio do método experimental, quando os indivíduos se envolvem nas discussões a respeito da homonoia, dos consensos, que direcionam a vida da sociedade. Mediada pelos métodos democráticos de persuasão, raciocínio, comunicação, deliberação e debate, a participação viabiliza experiências mais amplas, ricas, emancipadoras e compartilhadas. O alcance e a concretização da participação dependem do acesso dos indivíduos a uma educação retórica que os habilite a examinar e julgar as diversas opiniões que se apresentam e criar novas perspectivas de ação.

Published: May 2018

Este artigo tem o objetivo de discutir a expansão do ensino superior no Brasil no contexto da cultura digital contemporânea, com o foco na relação entre educação e arquitetura. Após análise deste contexto e de um panorama sobre as políticas públicas recentes, visando à expansão da universidade brasileira, discutimos os desafios que a cultura digital traz para a educação contemporânea e seus reflexos na arquitetura. Nesta análise, consideramos a arquitetura como um elemento de um currículo que denominamos de (in)visível. Com dados de uma pesquisa de campo sobre a expansão de duas instituições de ensino superior na Bahia, a Universidade Federal do Oeste da Bahia (Ufob) e o Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia – Bahia (Ifba), ambos na cidade de Barreiras, desenvolvemos, ao final, a ideia de que outras arquiteturas são necessárias para as edificações do ensino superior no contexto contemporâneo, imerso em tecnologias digitais de informação e comunicação.

Introducción de los esclavos negros africanos en el reino de Guatemala y provincias de San Salvador y Honduras
Authors: Cabrera Rajo Sigfredo
Published: May 2018

El Salvador no tiene Historia Moderna, por falta de la memoria histórica. Muy poco se ha escrito e investigado sobre la introducción de africanos en Guatemala, El Salvador y Honduras, el tema fue tratado por los historiadores de la Universidad Tecnológica de El Salvador. En la edad media y principios del siglo XVI, se conocía el tráfico y venta de esclavos en Sevilla. Lisboa y Sevilla se disputaban el comercio de esclavos, adquiridos en las gradas de la Catedral de Sevilla, cuyo mercado de Cádiz, Sevilla y Lisboa, se disputaban dicho comercio humano por el Atlántico.Mi investigación sobre la historia de edad moderna, siglo XVI, de El Salvador, me ha permitido encontrar en la memoria histórica de los castellanos que introdujeron los primeros negros africanos en Guatemala, San Salvador y Honduras. En las primeras décadas del siglo XVI, esclavizaron a los indígenas de las comunidades que habían sometido utilizándolos en la explotación minera y búsqueda de oro en las minas y ríos, como en actividades agrícolas. A partir de 1546 se introducen los esclavos negros en la zona de los Izalcos y otros pueblos de Cuscatlán, El puerto de Acajutla, por el comercio del cacao y los comerciantes de Villa de la Trinidad y encomenderos de los pueblos de Izalcos en 1560 introdujeron los primeros negros africanos para realizar trabajos en sus encomiendas.Revista de Museología "Kóot" No.8 2017: 82-175

La música de los historiantes a diferencia de las historias, es más local y desarrollada por los grupos de danzantes y músicos que les acompañan. Se determina, además, las poblaciones donde se han establecido los historiantes generalmente corresponden a antiguos poblados indígenas donde los españoles ya sean como colonizadores o evangelizadores establecieron la tradición, enseñándola a los pueblos originarios. Se hace alusión también a la manera en que son percibidos los historiantes por las organizaciones indígenas y las contradicciones existentes. Finalmente se presenta un mapa geográfico de los pueblos con sus fiestas patronales y fechas de presentación de los historiantes.Revista de Museología "Kóot" No.8 2017: 203-2018

Authors: Perry Julie Ann , Ward-Smith Peggy
Published: May 2018

Experiencing distress is a common phenomenon among pediatric critical care nurses. Expressive writing provides a cost-effective and easily implemented intervention nurses can utilize to address distress as a consequence of providing care for critically ill patients. This intervention may decrease the array of consequences of distress and improve nursing staff satisfaction and retention.
Single-frequency induction hardening
of structural steel
Authors: Rokicki P. , Bąk E. , Mrówka-Nowotnik G. , Nowotnik A.
Published: May 2018

Purpose: Current paper presents investigation of specimens after single frequency
induction hardening process. The main aim is to compare microstructure of the material
after the process conducted with different voltage on the induction coil. Moreover, two
different steel grades are used for comparative reasons. As the final result it is desired to
obtain sufficient parameters for the process in aim to obtain proper surface treatment of the
material.
Design/methodology/approach: The objectives of the research are achieved by using
single-frequency induction hardening device with varying voltage. Two different steel grades
were treated with change of the induction voltage from 300 to 600 V.
Findings: In the outcomes of the study, the main conclusion is that there is an impact of the
induction voltage in the hardening process on the microstructure of treated elements, both
for 40H41Cr4 and 40HNMA36NiCrMo16 steels.
Research limitations/implications: Obtained results will be used for much more
complex investigation of the induction hardening process in future to introduce more exact
parameters and double-frequency induction hardening process for complex geometries as
gears.
Originality/value: The originality of the research is based on the specific process and the
materials that are being submitted to the comparative analysis. Moreover, executed research
will be a basis for more complex induction hardening processes in the future.
Maria, madre di Cristo, e altri madri presenti nell'arte funeraria paleocristian
Authors: Ahlqvist Agneta
Published: May 2018

Le prime scene nell’arte funeraria paleocristiana che comprendono la figura della Vergine sono “La Natività di Gesù” e “L’Adorazione dei magi”. Raccontano episodi della storia d’infanzia di Gesù e appaiono a partire dal quarto secolo. La scena “Mater Christi con Bambino in grembo”, solenne, rappresentativa e soprattutto narrativa, non appare nelle catacombe prima del sesto secolo. Le prime figure erroneamente identificate come Maria Vergine, datate al terzo-quarto secolo, sono semplicemente raffigurazioni di donne defunte, madri e/o mogli, seppellite nelle tombe. In concordanza con la consuetudine di commemorare il defunto tramite vari episodi del suo iter terrestre fu ricordata anche la maternità, prima nel mondo pagano e poi in quello cristiano. L’iconografia funeraria paleocristiana non si basa in questo caso sul repertorio iconografico della Chiesa ma più largamente sulla diffusissima tradizione iconografica greco-romana. Non c’era bisogno questa volta di attendere la diffusione di un motivo prescritto dalla Chiesa.
Egyptian and Other Elements in the Fifth- Century Mosaics of S. Maria Maggiore
Authors: Sande Siri
Published: May 2018

The point of departure for this article is the mosaic with Nilotic motifs that runs along the bottom of the apse of S. Maria Maggiore in Rome. The mosaic is a work of Iacopo Torriti dating to 1296. There has been a great deal of discussion, however, whether he invented the motifs or whether he copied them from the fifth-century apse (or even included parts of the original). It is here suggested that Torriti used motifs which were originally present in the fifth-century apse and that they, together with other motifs relating to Egypt in the still preserved fifth-century mosaic panels, had a symbolism well suited to the ideas about Mary and the Incarnation that were prevalent in Rome in the fifth century.
The Bride and Groom of the “Canticum novum”
Authors: Hodne Lasse
Published: May 2018

The article concentrates on the “Coronation of the Virgin” in medieval art. This image is based on the Bride and Groom theme from the Canticles. However, whereas this text from the Old Testament was examined already by the Church Fathers in their exegetical writings, a “canonical” representation of it was coined only in the 12th century. This “late introduction” reflects deeply rooted changes in religious life which profoundly changed church history. The turtle dove whichsings in the Canticles is, according to Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, not only a symbol of faithfulness but also of chastity. This chastity must, in turn, be connected with the chastity of the clergy and the development of the idea of celibacy precisely in this period. Hence, the “Coronation”, besides being a symbol of the Church, is also an expression of a precise conception of the Church, namely a body constituted of men who maintain their virginity as brides awaiting the arrival of the Groom.
La Madonna della Misericordia individuale
Authors: Bacci Michele
Published: May 2018

Il presente articolo riprende la questione, già ampiamente dibattuta, della diffusione pressoché contemporanea in diverse aree del Mediterraneo verso la fine del secolo XIII del tema iconografico della Madonna che stende un lembo del suo velo sopra una o più figure di supplicanti. Si propone di leggerlo come una versione in chiave individuale del tema noto come “Madonna della Misericordia” e di ricercarne le origini non tanto in une deviazione iconografica dalla tradizionearmena, bizantina o italiana, bensì in una sensibilità religiosa condivisa che vede nell’immagine sacra uno strumento di espressione dell’ansia individuale per la propria sorte nel mondo a venire. Viene illustrata la dinamica dei gesti che trova espressione nelle testimonianze figurative attraverso la testimonianza offerta da un testo poco noto, la Vita della beata Gherardesca da Pisa (c. 1212-1269), che descrive numerose visioni in cui avevano luogo contatti ravvicinati e forme di interazione diretta tra un singolo e i suoi interlocutori celesti.
"Die drei Marien": Menschwerdung als Andachtsbild – Neue Überlegungen zu Grünewalds Isenheimer Altar
Authors: Kaspersen Søren
Published: May 2018

Der Aufsatz plädiert für ein neues Verständnis der Inkarnationsszene des Isenheimer Altars und erörtert einige sich daraus für die Interpretation eröffnende Perspektiven.Gestützt auf die Forschungsgeschichte, wird die Ansicht vertreten, dass es sich bei der im Tabernakel knienden Frauengestalt höchst wahrscheinlich um die Jungfrau Maria in Erwartung ihrer Niederkunft handelt und dass Christian Lerse mit seiner ursprünglichen Vorstellung, bei der Tabernakelszene handele es sich um eine Vision der Muttergottes bei Betrachtung des Neugeborenen, recht hatte. In Weiterführung dieser Überlegungen wird die Frauengestalt in der Mitte der blauen Aureole oben im Tabernakel als Maria aeterna bestimmt, ausgehend von der Tatsache, dass sie in der gleichen Weise gekennzeichnet ist wie die schwangere Maria, nämlich mit einer Flammenkrone, einer Aureole und in Andacht dem Neugeborenen in den Armen seiner Mutter zugewandt. Danach wird deutlich, dass jeder der drei Engel des sogenannten „Konzerts“ für eine der drei Marien spielt. Die Implikationen dieser Interpretation werden erörtert, in erster Linie die neue Betonung des Prozesses,der die Jungfrau zur Muttergottes werden lässt, und seine Bedeutung für den Betrachter.Ausserdem werden Strategien für eine weiterführende Interpretation nicht allein der Grünewaldscheninventio, sondern auch seiner Formsprache, seiner elocutio, vorgschlagen, wobei zugleichdie Möglichkeiten historischer Interpretationen an sich erwogen werden.
Adventus travels North. A Note in the Iconography of some Scandinavian Gold Bracteates
Authors: Åkerström-Hougen Gunilla
Published: May 2018

This paper is part of ongoing research concerning the iconography of some of the Scandinavian gold bracteates. In 1895 the bracteates were sorted into groups according to their motifs – however difficult to define. So far very few, if any, satisfactory solutions have been presented. The adventus motif was at one recognized as Roman, but never analyzed, nor its background. If there was a model once, it has been lost.
Ducks, Dolphins, and Portrait Medallions: Framing the Achilles Mosaic at Pedrosa de la Vega (Palencia)
Authors: Killerich Bente
Published: May 2018

The frame is often perceived as parergonal or secondary compared with the image it enframes. However, in the large fourth century Achilles on Skyros mosaic at Pedrosa de la Vega, in Northern Spain, the border framing the emblema has a unique design: portrait medallions are suspended from the spread wings of antithetical duck-dolphins, which flank a golden amphora, hanging from a ribbon held in their beaks. The article discusses the meaning of the frame with particular attention to the portrait medallions and traces the decorative scheme back to early imperial Rome.
The Iconography of the Sarcophagus in S. Ambrogio. Hope for Salvation through the Word of Christ
Authors: Steen Olaf
Published: May 2018

The sarcophagus in the church of S. Ambrogio in Milan is dated to about 390. The lid of the sarcophagus shows scenes and symbols connected to the New Testament. On the front and rear sides, we find Christ represented among the Apostles. Figures from the Old Testament are shown on the two short sides. In this way, the narrative scenes are well arranged, and the arrangement differs from other early Christian sarcophagi in which scenes from the Old and New Testament are places together without any apparent connection between the scenes. Rows of city-gates run around all four sides, forming the background for the reliefs. The city-gates invite the beholder to read the images not as isolated scenes, but as parts of a connected whole. In this paper, I will argue that the iconography of the sarcophagus can be interpreted as a complete programme. The programme emphasizes the teaching of Christ and the Apostles’ teaching-mission given by Christ. Taking into consideration the monument’s funerary context, the programme of the sarcophagus focuses on the Word or the teaching of Christ as the way to salvation.
Frascati (RM): Contributo allo studio topografico della villa romana
