Verdad, vida y texto en el reflejo repetido de Friederike Brion: una relectura de los libros X y XI de "Poesía y verdad" de J. W. Goethe
Authors: Lavernia Kilian
Published: November 2019

El artículo propone una relectura de los libros X y XI de "Poesía y verdad" (1813), de Johann Wolfgang Goethe, con el fin de dignificar la figura femenina, aparentemente menor, de Friederike Brion. En primer lugar, nos acercaremos al relato goetheano de la mano de Jacques Lacan, a partir de cuyas indicaciones sobre el mito individual del neurótico iremos introduciendo el episodio amoroso construido por el poeta. A continuación, ampliaremos la mirada con una reflexión tardía de Goethe sobre dicho episodio, tal como plasmó en su breve ensayo “Reflejos repetidos”, de 1823. Gracias al juego de espejos generados en y por el texto autobiográfico, la presencia de la persona amada sólo emerge, para el viejo escritor, asumiendo una dimensión entóptica de la vida, de ahí que en Friederike identifique un estatuto simbólico que someteremos a consideración. Por último, desde cierto trabajo intertextual, mostraremos algunos campos proyectivos en "Poesía y verdad" desde los que la dignidad hermenéutica de Friederike podría ser revaluada.

Authors: Celestino Pinto Laine , Paula Guimarães da Costa Carvalho Ana , Caroline Nazaré Pinto dos Santos Maria , Oliveira de Araujo Morais Roberta
Published: November 2019

The purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency of intestinal parasites in public transport buses in the city of Belém, Pará, Brazil, as well as to compare the frequency of these enteroparasites according to the bus lines, collection sites within the vehicles, and presence of pathogenic and nonpathogenic parasites in the samples. This is a cross-sectional analytical study carried out between February and April 2019, in which 320 samples were analyzed, from 5 bus lines, 8 buses each, collected from 8 different surfaces inside the vehicles, according to Graham’s method. Subsequently, the statistical test was performed to evaluate the differencesbetween the variables, considering p ≤ 0.05. The results indicated that 7.8% of the samples were parasitized and the right handrail presented the highest prevalence of parasites, namely 2.2%. The pathogenic parasites corresponded to 26.7% and the non-pathogenic 73.3%. The non-pathogenic parasite most commonly found was Entamoeba coli totaling 50%, whereas the only pathogenic parasite was Giardia intestinalis in 26.7%. Thus, the presence of pathogenic and non-pathogenic parasites reflects the precarious hygiene of users of this type of transport, presenting a public health issue which needs to be addressed.

A 44-year-old healthy farmer, was stung by a scorpion on his right hand while preparing soil for planting in the Caatinga area (a large area in the north-east of Brazil characterized by semiarid scrub forest), in the Catarina Municipality countryside, Ceará State, Brazil. According to the reports of carers and family members, the patient initially reported mild pain at the site of the sting, but within a few minutes he developed malaise, pruritus in the body and throat, edema in the nostrils, and a dry mouth which led to looking for water to drink. It rapidlyevolved into sphincter, urinary and fecal release, salivation and a convulsive episode with loss of the senses. He was dead on arrival at Catarina Municipality Hospital emergency department.The necroscopic report indicated suffocation due to glottal edema and acute lung edema as the “cause of death”. The animal which caused the accident was under a rock that the patient was manipulating at the time of the incident, and has been identified by experts as Jaguajir rochae (Borelli, 1910) scorpion species, formerly synonymized Rhopalurus rochae. This is the first report of a fatality due to an allergic reaction to the venom of this species. This leads to the possibility that deaths caused by stings from other scorpion species may be due to anaphylaxis, whose symptoms in some situations may be confused with severe envenomation.

Published: November 2019

The study aimed at identifying the appropriateness of educational outputs in the Saudi public universities for the labor market from the point of view of graduates from the specialization of accounting and finance by investigating the following axes (Motivation in specialization identification, teaching staff in universities, the appropriateness of the study plan for the labor market, and the extent of knowledge of professional tests) and its impact on the quality of educational outputs. The study adopted the inductive method trough reviewing the previous studies regarding the research subject. On the field study, the study used the questionnaire as the study tool. On the statistical side, the following statistical analyzes were conducted (frequencies, percentages, arithmetic means and standard deviations), as well as Pearson correlation coefficients to determine the relationships between the variables of the study. The study population consisted of all graduates from the accounting and finance departments of the Saudi public universities working in the public sector or the private sector or self-employed " entrepreneurial". The field study was carried out in 2018 and the number of participants was (125) graduates from Saudi public universities and (80%) of the participants were under the age of (30) years. This is an excellent percentage as the study focused more on graduates. The study concluded the approval of the sample on each of the following: (the specialization identification was their personal desire, the teaching staff at the university is characterized by knowledge and eruditeness, the quality of study plans in universities and their knowledge of the study plan and its requirements, quality of educational outputs). It also concluded that the most prominent obstacles for graduates in the professional tests was the high financial fees of professional tests. In addition to there was no relationship between the specialization identification and the quality of educational outputs, while there was a relationship between (the efficiency of the teaching staff, the study plan, and the professional tests) and the quality of the educational outputs.

Published: November 2019

Maize (Zea mays L.) is a plant of the Poaceae family, originating in Central America and cultivated in practically every region of the world. In Brazil, it is the most important cereal for the economy, but the productivity is lower when compared to other countries. This may be due to inadequate plant density per unit area, low soil fertility and spatial arrangement of plants. Thus, the development of better performance hybrids and changes in sowing density and spacing appear as techniques for increasing productivity without increasing production costs. Therefore, the objective of this work is to evaluate the agronomic performance of two maize hybrids as a function of plant population and row spacing in semiarid microclimate to identify those agronomic and microclimatic factors that influence it. Two simultaneous fieldwork were conducted in an experimental area, at the microregion of Paraíba swamp. A randomized complete block design was used with six treatments distributed in a 2 x 3 factorial scheme, resulting from the combination of two maize hybrids (H1 and H2) and three population densities (40,000, 60,000 and 80,000 plants.ha-1) for Experiment 1; and two maize hybrids (H1 and H2) and three spacings (0.40, 0.60 and 0.80 m) for Experiment 2. In general, the results of this study suggest that larger populations of maize provide significant increases in grain yield for microclimatic conditions Paraíba semiarid, and when environmental factors are not limiting.

El presente artículo es el resultado de la investigación documental, en la que se utilizaron documentos fuentes de diversa naturaleza con el propósito de analizar su contenido desde el punto de vista cualitativo, acerca de la igualdad política femenina en Nicaragua, específicamente, en su carácter de estrategia pública nacional. Se toma en cuenta el contexto histórico y cultural en el que la sociedad nicaragüense interactúa en el sistema político vigente. Las relaciones de género fueron un factor clave para el estudio de la igualdad política y forman parte integral del análisis. De modo que, la perspectiva de género se constituyó en una herramienta de análisis fundamental en su función de facilitar una mirada crítica y transversal de las relaciones de género y de poder. Los principales hallazgos reflejaron que la estructura de la estratega nacional de género durante el periodo 2007- 2016 se expresa en tres aspectos centrales, la igualdad ante la ley mediante la aprobación y reformas de un conjunto de leyes a favor de los derechos de las mujeres, acciones afirmativas expresadas en la implementación de programas sociales, y una transversalización del género como política nacional y parte de los planes nacionales de desarrollo humano. Así como una amplia presencia e inclusión de las mujeres en distintas instancias del Estado.
The Challenges of Existing Syntactic Models for English Language Teaching and Learning in Nigeria
Authors: Adejare Roseline Abonego
Published: November 2019

A recent survey of existing syntactic models shows that none accurately describes the syntax of the English languagethat people actually use and that they inhibit rather than promote knowledge of natural language by creating a gapbetween what should be taught and learned and what obtains. To demonstrate this gap, this paper critically examinesfour recommended senior secondary school English course books to determine the extent to which they reflectexisting syntactic models’ descriptive inadequacies, and highlights the implications for language education inNigeria. Using the emerging Natural Language Linguistics (NLL) model as analytical tool, each book was carefullyexamined to identify topics on the syntactic units: sentence, clause and group. These were then critically studied,paying great attention to definitions, descriptive statements, models, and examples, and noting common features anddifferences. The bits of information pieced together constitute the data. Findings show inconsistency in modelapplication, no uniformity in, and consensus on, the number and nomenclature of syntactic units, terminologicalconfusion, descriptive inaccuracies, typological inexactness, incorrect definitions, wrong and inappropriate examples,and confusion between constituents and elements of structure. The absence of a clear-cut distinction between phraseand clause and between clause and sentence in existing syntactic models, which reflected in the books, explains theshortcomings that potentially limit learners’ knowledge and use ability. Only a syntactic model that accuratelymirrors natural language structure can positively promote language education in the Nigerian context where coursebooks are the most important English teaching-learning resource.

Published: November 2019

To explore the status and influencing factors of attitudes toward mental illness among minority freshmen and provide references for mental health education and service assistance in ethnic colleges, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 581 minority freshmen by using Mental Illness Emotional Scale, Stereotype Scale and Social Distance Scale from autumn of 2018 to next spring. The scores of minority freshmen on these scales were significantly higher than the theoretical median, which demonstrated that they did have negative attitudes. There were the significant main effect of nation on the anger and sympathy dimensions of Mental Illness Emotional Scale while the same results were found in the main effect of gender on the danger and suicidal behavior dimensions of Mental Illness Stereotype Scale and the main effect of nation on the dimension of dependence consciousness. Whether relatives or friends are mental illness patients had significant effect on the suicidal behavior dimension of Mental Illness Stereotypes Scale. Overall, attitudes toward mental illness were negative and some mental illness stigma phenomenon were found among minority freshmen; ethnic was an important factor affecting the attitudes of minority freshmen toward mental illness, and the inter-group contact with patients who suffer mental illness in life had a slight impact on the attitudes toward mental illness.
Harmonic Equivalence of the Impulse Loads in Vibration Fatigue
Authors: Ogrinec Primož , Slavič Janko , Boltežar Miha
Published: November 2019

In vibration fatigue, three unique types of loads are typical: random, harmonic and impulse. In an application any of these loads are possible. A fatigue-life analysis is possible in the time and frequency domains using the frequency-response function of a structure. Recent studies demonstrated that the impulse loads influence the accuracy of a fatigue-life prediction in the frequency domain. The focus of this research is a theoretical study of an equivalent harmonic load to the impulse load on a single-degree-of-freedom system in order to investigate the feasibility of impulse loads in vibration testing. This research shows that there is a relationship between the impulse and harmonic loads that is related to the underlying dynamic properties (e.g., damping, natural frequency). Based on a theoretical analysis an experimental procedure was developed for both cases of excitation, which was able to confirm the theoretical analysis. Using the modal decomposition the single-degree-of-freedom approach can be generalized to multiple-degrees-of-freedom systems.
Multi-Physics and Multi-Scale Meshless Simulation System for Direct-Chill Casting of Aluminium Alloys
Authors: Šarler Božidar , Dobravec Tadej , Glavan Gašper , Hatić Vanja , Mavrič Boštjan , Vertnik Robert , Cvahte Peter , Gregor Filip , Jelen Marina , Petrovič Marko
Published: November 2019

This paper represents an overview of the elements of the user-friendly simulation system, developed for computational analysis and optimization of the quality and productivity of the electromagnetically direct-chill cast semi-products from aluminium alloys. The system also allows the computational estimation of the design changes of the casting equipment. To achieve this goal, the electromagnetic and the thermofluid process parameters are coupled to the evolution of Lorentz force, temperature, velocity, concentration, strain and stress fields as well as microstructure evolution. This forms a multi-physics and multi-scale problem of great complexity, which has not been demonstrated before. The macroscopic fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, and electromagnetic solution framework is based on local strong-form meshless formulation, involving the radial basis functions and monomials as trial functions, and local collocation or weighted least squares approximation. It is coupled to the micro-scale by incorporating the point automata solution concept. The entire macro-micro solution concept does not require meshing and space integration. The solution procedure can be easily and efficiently automatically adapted in node redistribution and/or refinement sense, which is of utmost importance when coping with fields exhibiting sharp gradients, which occur in the phase-change problems. The simulation system is coded from scratch in modern Fortran. The elements of the experimental validation of the system and the demonstration of its use for round billet casting in IMPOL Aluminium Industry are shown.
The Effect of Population Ageing on Heating Energy Demand on National Level: A Case Study of Slovenia
Authors: Lampret Žiga , Krese Gorazd , Prek Matjaž
Published: November 2019

Residential energy demands are expected to change significantly in the future with increasing electrification, energy efficiency, and improved comfort as well as climate change. While many studies have been performed into how the aforementioned influential factors could affect the energy needs of the forthcoming generations, far less are present for how population aging affects the future heating demand. The latter is particularly relevant for Europe and Slovenia as declining fertility rates and lengthening life spans give rise to the increasing ratio of the elderly. In this paper, the future residential space and water heating energy demands of the aging society in Slovenia, using a sample of geographically dispersed nursing homes as a proxy, are estimated. The results are compared against the latest EU reference scenario until 2050, whereby the adjusted estimates differ by up to 9.6 %. Thus, the study highlights the need for energy policy to be further refined and redefined to link the energy performance requirements of buildings to specific consumption characteristics of the elderly.
Some Observations on Triplet Ground-States in the Context of ‘Topological’ (HLPM) Ring-Currents in Conjugated Systems
Authors: Dickens Timothy K. , Mallion Roger B.
Published: November 2019

When the quasi graph-theoretical Hückel–London–Pople–McWeeny (HLPM) approach is used to calculate ‘topological’ π-electron ring-currents and bond-currents in conjugated hydrocarbons, a problem is identified that occurs whenever application of the Aufbau process gives rise to a π-electronic ground-state configuration that is a triplet. This circumstance seems to occur only occasionally and, even when it does, the generally somewhat outré molecular graphs in question appear unlikely to represent extant or viable conjugated systems. The molecular graphs of four examples are used to illustrate this ‘triplet ground-state problem’, only one of which represents a hydrocarbon that has actually been synthesised. It is pointed out that the ‘triplet ground-state problem’ does constitute an intrinsic limitation of the HLPM approach. It is, though, a limitation that is also necessarily inherent in other equivalent (though ostensibly different) methods of calculating magnetic properties due to π-electron ring-currents — methods that are likewise founded on the Hückel molecular-orbital conventions. When a triplet ground-state arises, topological ring-currents and bond-currents cannot be calculated by the HLPM method and its equivalents. Infinite paramagnetism is formally to be predicted in such situations.
Investigation of Selected Utility Properties of Woven Fabrics Made of Soybean Protein Fibres
Authors: Matusiak Małgorzata , Kamińska Dominika
Published: November 2019

Soybean Protein Fibres (SPF) are man-made fibres manufactured from the proteins contained in soybeans. They are biodegradable fibres derived from renewable sources, friendly for people and the environment. Within the framework of the work presented, selected utility properties of fabrics containing SPFs were investigated. The scope of the investigation included determination of mechanical properties, drapeability, water-vapour permeability and liquid moisture transport. The investigations carried out allowed to evaluate the utility value of fabrics made with the use of SPFs and to compare the fabric 100% made of SPFs with ones with weft yarns other than from SPFs. The research showed that fabrics with SPFs are suitable for clothing products, which may be a very good alternative to the currently available clothing made from fabrics containing standard natural and chemical fibres.
Conocimiento y transversalidad

Published: November 2019

El conocimiento contemporáneo está marcado por una excesiva compartimentación. Esto es fruto de la disciplinaridad, que tiene un doble sentido: tanto induce a la delimitación de un campo específico como a la jerarquización y al ejercício del poder. La propuesta interdisciplinar surgió para proporcionar el tránsito entre los varios compartimentos del saber contemporáneo. Debemos preguntarnos: ¿esa propuesta da conta de superar la histórica compartimentación del saber? Este artículo defende que no, y propone su superación, tomando por basie un nuevo paradigma para la comprensión del conocimiento: el rizoma y la transversalidad.
Balance de la moción de censura constructiva en un parlamento fragmentado
Authors: García-Escudero Márquez Piedad
Published: November 2019

La aprobación de una moción de censura en España por primera vez desde la aprobación de la Constitución ha supuesto el cambio de signo político del Gobierno a mitad de la XII legislatura, caracterizada por la fragmentación del Congreso de los Diputados que ha sustituido al cuasibipartidismo anterior. El artículo examina las consecuencias que la moción ha tenido en el funcionamiento y funciones del Parlamento y en la inestabilidad de un Gobierno que se ha mantenido en el poder apenas nueve meses, haciendo balance del periodo que se extiende de la moción de censura a la disolución, comparándolo con el periodo anterior asimismo dificultoso y con otras legislaturas, para en último término mostrar cómo el fin del bipartidismo ha influido en las relaciones Gobierno-Parlamento en nuestro régimen parlamentario.The adoption of a constructive vote of no confidence in Spain for the first time since the adoption of the Spanish 1978 Constitution has led to the change of political sign of the Government in the middle of the XII legislature or term, characterised by the fragmentation of the Congress of Deputies which has replaced the former nearly two-party system. The essay analyses the consequences of this change on the functioning and functions of Parliament and on the instability of a Government that has been in power for only nine months, taking stock of the period extending from the vote of no confidence to dissolution of Parliament, comparing it with the equally difficult previous period and with other terms, to ultimately show how the end of the two-party system has influenced Government-Parliament relations in the Spanish parliamentary political system.

Sobre el nombramiento del Presidente y de los vocales del Consejo General del Poder Judicial. Una reflexión desde el sentido común
Authors: Gómez Colomer Juan Luis
Published: November 2019

La independencia judicial es un principio subjetivo clave del poder judicial democrático. La ciudadanía espera, ante todo, que quien detenta el poder del estado para resolver su conflicto sea ajeno a él, objetivo e imparcial. Un peligro acecha cuando el sistema de nombramiento de los jueces, al menos de los más importantes (los llamados altos tribunales), depende directamente del poder político y no se deja al propio poder judicial, o dependiendo sólo del poder judicial, la composición de la correspondiente comisión está influida claramente por el poder político. No hay un sistema de nombramiento de los altos jueces perfecto, el español tampoco lo es por el control político del Consejo General del Poder Judicial. Se analizan aquí las causas, los efectos y las posibilidades de mejora, para garantizar mejor la independencia judicial.Judicial independence is a key subjective principle of the democratic judiciary. Citizens expect, first and foremost, that whoever holds the State’s power to resolve their conflict is unrelated to it, objective and impartial. Danger lurks when the system of appointment of judges, at least of the most important ones (the so-called high courts), depends directly on the political power and is not left to the judicial power itself, or depending only on the judiciary, the composition of the corresponding commission is clearly influenced by the political power. There is no perfect system for appointing high judges, nor is the Spanish system due to the political control of the General Council of the Judiciary. The causes, effects and possibilities of improvement are analysed in this paper, in order to better guarantee judicial independence.

Published: November 2019

En el reciente debate sobre la reforma de la regulación de los derechos sociales en la Constitución y el ascenso de algunos de ellos a la categoría de derechos fundamentales, el derecho a la protección de la salud cobra un gran protagonismo. La propuesta de transformar en derecho fundamental al derecho a la protección de la salud, si bien pudiera tener efectos positivos desde la perspectiva del aseguramiento de las condiciones mínimas para el ejercicio de la libertad, también presenta problemas en atención al poder económico que caería en manos de los Tribunales y al incremento de la litigación de provocaría tal reforma. Por otro lado, nuestro sistema constitucional tiene suficientes instrumentos legales para garantizar ese derecho social sin la necesidad de transformarlo en un derecho fundamental.In the recent debate on the reform of the regulation of social rights in the Constitution and the rise of some of them to the category of fundamental rights, the right to healthcare takes on a prominent position. The proposal to transform the right to healthcare into a fundamental right, although it could have positive effects from the perspective of ensuring the minimum conditions for the exercise of freedom, also presents problems related to the economic power that the proposal would give to the Court and to the increase of litigation that it would cause. On the other hand, our constitutional system has enough legal instruments to guarantee such social right without the need of transforming it into a fundamental right.
Realidad y perspectiva del derecho de sufragio activo de las personas con discapacidad intelectual

Published: November 2019

La superación del modelo proteccionista por una progresiva extensión del pleno disfrute de derechos de las personas discapacitadas ha generado, al menos en el caso español, algunas disfuncionalidades no exentas de polémica. Con la reforma de la LOREG de 2018, se ha pasado de un sistema en el que el juez determinaba en cada caso el grado de «capacidad política» de la persona discapacitada, a otro donde el legislador liberaliza el ejercicio del sufragio activo, dejando en el aire algunos aspectos, relativos a las condiciones y límites de dicho ejercicio, que generan una cierta inseguridad jurídica.The overcoming of the protectionist model by a progressive extension of the full enjoyment of the rights of disabled people has generated, at least in the Spanish case, some dysfunctions not exempt from controversy. With the reform of the LOREG of 2018, it has gone from a system in which the judge determined in each case the degree of «political capacity» of the disabled person, to another where the legislator liberalizes the exercise of active suffrage, leaving in the air some aspects, related to the conditions and limits of this exercise, which generate a certain legal uncertainty.

La ley de reforma constitucional de 2005 en el Reino Unido ha significado un cambio constitucional sin precedentes. Estas páginas analizan el modelo anterior a la reforma aludida, el contenido de esta reforma y sus importantes efectos en el Poder Judicial. El viejo sistema es descrito y comentado y después se exponen los principales contenidos de la reforma, centrándose en la creación de la JAC la Judicial Appointments Commission que es órgano público creado para nombrar a la Judicatura del Reino Unido. Por último se analizan los efectos positivos y negativos de un nuevo modelo que sin duda ha rediseñado el poder judicial en este país.This paper studies the Constitutional Reform Act published in the 2005 in United Kingdom. This important reform means a deep constitutional change in an unwritten constitution model. The first part shows, critically, the old model explaining how the judges were appointed. The second part analyses the new model in which the most relevant role is played by the Judicial Appointments Commission, this new public body designed as recommendation body appoints the Judiciary in United Kingdom and it’s being representative of the deepest change amid the classical concept of Judicial independence. More than ten years before the JAC’s creation, important inputs could be commented.
De la cuestión prejudicial de convencionalidad en marcha

Se examina aquí, a partir de sus antecedentes, el primer dictamen prejudicial de convencionalidad dictado por el TEDH a instancia del Tribunal de casación de Francia, en relación con el controvertido asunto de la gestación subrogada y del régimen de filiación resultante, en este caso, con la madre comitente. Tras una somera aproximación a la respuesta brindada a las cuestiones expresamente planteadas, se trata de recapitular acerca del significado y alcance de esta novedosa vía de preventiva clarificación del estándar convencional, sin contrariar las exigencias presupuestas en el sistema convencional de tutela de derechos y libertades fundamentales por los instrumentales principios de la subsidiariedad de la jurisdicción del TEDH y del margen nacional de apreciación.On the basis of its antecedents, the first preliminary ruling under the Convention issued by the ECtHR at the request of the French Court of Cassation is examined here in relation to the controversial issue of surrogacy and the resulting system of filiation, in this case with the mother principal. After a brief approximation to the answer given to the questions expressly raised, it is a question of recapitulating the meaning and scope of this novel way of preventive clarification of the conventional standard, without contradicting the presuposed requirements in the conventional system of protection of fundamental rights and freedoms by the instrumental principles of subsidiarity of the jurisdiction of the ECtHR and the national margin of appreciation.

Multifaceted roles of microRNAs: From motor neuron generation in embryos to degeneration in spinal muscular atrophy
Authors: Chen Tai-Heng , Chen Jun-An
Published: November 2019

Two crucial questions in neuroscience are how neurons establish individual identity in the developing nervous system and why only specific neuron subtypes are vulnerable to neurodegenerative diseases. In the central nervous system, spinal motor neurons serve as one of the best-characterized cell types for addressing these two questions. In this review, we dissect these questions by evaluating the emerging role of regulatory microRNAs in motor neuron generation in developing embryos and their potential contributions to neurodegenerative diseases such as spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Given recent promising results from novel microRNA-based medicines, we discuss the potential applications of microRNAs for clinical assessments of SMA disease progression and treatment.
Understanding gender imbalances among university professors
Authors: Suboticki Ivana
Published: November 2019

Gender imbalance among university professors is a persistent problem. Although the share of women full professors has increased from 13% in 2000 to 26% in 2015 in Norway, the gender gap persists. Gender imbalance is not only a problem at specific faculties (e.g. engineering) but can very drastically between departments. For instance, the percentage of women full professors varied between 14% and 71% at the departments of the Faculty of Humanities at NTNU. At the same time, universities are also drastically changing in order to accommodate shifts such as new public management measures, new imaginaries about what a university should be, and increased pressure on academics to improve their performance with respect to teaching, publishing, innovation, and outreach. To understand this changing landscape, we need to explore how gender imbalances are produced in the day to day work at universities. In other words, how gender imbalances are embedded in scientific cultures.

In the newly started project “Understanding gender imbalances among university professors: the shaping and reshaping of epistemic living spaces (GENDIM)” we aim to use ‘epistemic living spaces’ (Felt, 2009) as a key concept to unpack the way gender issues and gender policies are intertwined with the day to day work at universities. In this presentation, I aim to present this concept and discuss its potential in opening new ways for understanding and responding to questions of gender balance among university professors.
A Sparse-Modeling Based Approach for Class Specific Feature Selection
Authors: Nardone Davide , Ciaramella Angelo , Staiano Antonino
Published: November 2019

In this work, we propose a novel Feature Selection framework called Sparse-Modeling Based Approach for Class Specific Feature Selection (SMBA-CSFS), that simultaneously exploits the idea of Sparse Modeling and Class-Specific Feature Selection. Feature selection plays a key role in several fields (e.g., computational biology), making it possible to treat models with fewer variables which, in turn, are easier to explain, by providing valuable insights on the importance of their role, and likely speeding up the experimental validation. Unfortunately, also corroborated by the no free lunch theorems, none of the approaches in literature is the most apt to detect the optimal feature subset for building a final model, thus it still represents a challenge. The proposed feature selection procedure conceives a two-step approach: (a) a sparse modeling-based learning technique is first used to find the best subset of features, for each class of a training set; (b) the discovered feature subsets are then fed to a class-specific feature selection scheme, in order to assess the effectiveness of the selected features in classification tasks. To this end, an ensemble of classifiers is built, where each classifier is trained on its own feature subset discovered in the previous phase, and a proper decision rule is adopted to compute the ensemble responses. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, extensive experiments have been performed on publicly available datasets, in particular belonging to the computational biology field where feature selection is indispensable: the acute lymphoblastic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia, the human carcinomas, the human lung carcinomas, the diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and the malignant glioma. SMBA-CSFS is able to identify/retrieve the most representative features that maximize the classification accuracy. With top 20 and 80 features, SMBA-CSFS exhibits a promising performance when compared to its competitors from literature, on all considered datasets, especially those with a higher number of features. Experiments show that the proposed approach may outperform the state-of-the-art methods when the number of features is high. For this reason, the introduced approach proposes itself for selection and classification of data with a large number of features and classes.

Despite continuous improvements, our knowledge of the palaeoneurology of sauropod dinosaurs is still deficient. This holds true even for Titanosauria, which is a particularly speciose clade of sauropods with representatives known from numerous Cretaceous sites in many countries on all continents. The data currently available regarding the palaeoneurology of titanosaurs is strongly biased towards Gondwanan forms (Argentina above all, but also India, Malawi and Australia). In contrast, the palaeoneurology of Laurasian titanosaurs is known only from a few taxa from Spain and Uzbekistan, despite the discovery in other countries of Laurasia of a number of neurocranial remains that would lend themselves well to investigations of this kind. To fill in this gap in our knowledge, we subjected a titanosaurian braincase from the uppermost Upper Cretaceous of southern France to X-ray computed tomographic scanning, allowing the generation of 3D renderings of the endocranial cavity enclosing the brain, cranial nerves and blood vessels, as well as the labyrinth of the inner ear. These reconstructions are used to clarify the phylogenetic position of the specimen from the Fox-Amphoux-Métisson site. A combination of characters, including the presence of two hypoglossal rami on the endocast, the average degree of development of the dorsal-head/caudal-middle-cerebral vein system and the relatively short and subequal lengths of the ipsilateral semicircular canals of the labyrinth, are particularly revealing in this respect. They suggest that, compared with the few other Laurasian titanosaurs for which in-depth palaeoneurological data are available, the French taxon is more derived than the distinctly more ancient, possibly non-lithostrotian titanosaur from the Uzbek site of Dzharakuduk but more basal than derived saltasaurids, such as the coeval or slightly more recent forms from the Spanish locality of Lo Hueco.
Different nitrogen sources speed recovery from corallivory and uniquely alter the microbiome of a reef-building coral

Corals are in decline worldwide due to local anthropogenic stressors, such as nutrient loading, and global stressors, such as ocean warming. Anthropogenic nutrient loading, which is often rich in nitrate, inhibits coral growth and worsens corals’ response to warming while natural sources of nitrogen, such as ammonium from fish excretion, promotes coral growth. Although the effects of nutrient loading and ocean warming have been well-studied, it remains unclear how these factors may interact with biotic processes, such as corallivory, to alter coral health and the coral microbiome. This study examined how nitrate vs. ammonium enrichment altered the effects of increased seawater temperature and simulated parrotfish corallivory on the health ofPocillopora meandrinaand its microbial community. We tested the effects of nitrogen source on the response to corallivory under contrasting temperatures (control: 26 °C, warming: 29 °C) in a factorial mesocosm experiment in Moorea, French Polynesia. Corals were able to maintain growth rates despite simultaneous stressors. Seawater warming suppressed wound healing rates by nearly 66%. However, both ammonium and nitrate enrichment counteracted the effect of higher temperatures on would healing rates. Elevated seawater temperature and ammonium enrichment independently increased Symbiodiniaceae densities relative to controls, yet there was no effect of nitrate enrichment on algal symbiont densities. Microbiome variability increased with the addition of nitrate or ammonium. Moreover, microbial indicator analysis showed that Desulfovibrionaceae Operational taxonomic units (OTUs) are indicators of exclusively temperature stress while Rhodobacteraceae and Saprospiraceae OTUs were indicators of high temperature, wounding, and nitrogen enrichment. Overall, our results suggest that nitrogen source may not alter the response of the coral host to simultaneous stressors, but that the associated microbial community may be distinct depending on the source of enrichment.
