Published: June 2020

Background: Breast cancer is the most common malignant disease among the female population of Kazakhstan like in many developed countries of the world (Canada, UK, US, Western Europe), and it accounts for every 5th tumor. We aimed to assess the epidemiological aspects of breast cancer incidence and mortality among Almaty and Astana (Now Nur-Sultan), Kazakhstan residents in 2009-2018.
Methods: A retrospective study using modern descriptive and analytical methods of epidemiology was conducted to evaluate the breast cancer incidence and mortality in megapolises of Kazakhstan.
Results: The average annual age-standardized incidence rate of breast cancer amounted to 61.90/0000 (95% CI=56.2-67.6) in Almaty and 61.20/0000 (95% CI=56.765.7) in Astana. The average age-standardized mortality was 19.20/0000 (95% CI=17.3-21.1) in Almaty and 19.30/0000 (95% CI=17.1-21.4) in Astana. The standardized incidence in the megapolises tended to increase (Тgr=+0.8% in Almaty and Тgr=+1.4% in Astana), while the mortality was decreasing (Тdec=−4.2% in Almaty and Тdec=−1.1% in Astana). According to the component analysis, the growth in the number of breast cancer cases was due to a population increase (ΔP=+130.4% in Almaty and ΔP=+93.2% in Astana), with a notable decrease of factors related to the risk of getting sick (ΔR=−27.9% in Almaty, ΔR=−6.1% in Astana).
Conclusion: This is the first epidemiological study to assess the changes in incidence and mortality from breast cancer in megapolises of Kazakhstan because of screening. The results of this study can be used to improve the government program to combat breast cancer.

Authors: JIANG Youhua , NI Kewei , FANG Meiyu , LIU Junling
Published: June 2020

Background: This study intended to investigate the effects of serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) on the incidence of lung cancer in male patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.
Methods: A total of 1091 male patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital, Hangzhou, China from Jan 2009 to Jan 2012 were selected as the research objects. All patients were followed up from the beginning of hospitalization. According to serum hs-CRP level, patients were divided into two groups: group A (hs-CRP < 1 mg/L) and group B (hs-CRP > 3 mg/L). The relationship between baseline hs-CRP and the risk of lung cancer in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis was analyzed by multivariate Cox proportional risk regression model, and the serum levels of hs-CRP between lung cancer patients in all groups and other non-lung cancer patients were compared.
Results: There were differences in age, drinking, smoking, diabetes history, body mass index (BMI), thyroglobulin (TG), history of hypertension and hyperglycemia among the three groups (P=0.036, 0.018, 0.040, 0.029, 0.006, 0.034, 0.020, 0.010). The serum levels of hs-CRP in patients with squamous carcinoma, adenocarcinoma and small cell carcinoma were significantly higher than those in non-lung cancer patients (P=0.022, 0.043, 0.011). The incidence rates of lung cancer in patients in group B and C were 1.37 and 1.69 times higher than that in group A, respectively.
Conclusion: The increased serum level of hs-CRP will increase the incidence rate of lung cancer in male patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.

Published: June 2020

Background: Indonesia as an archipelagic country, makes the efforts to fulfill the needs of medical specialists in remote areas are not easy tasks. This study aimed to explore the availability and the needs fulfillment efforts of medical specialist in remote areas; and to know whether the availability of medical specialists have met the hospital needs, and how the authorities efforts to fulfill them, also the factors that affect the effort.
Methods: This qualitative research was conducted with case study approach in Haji Abdoel Madjid Batoe District Hospital (RSUD HAMBA) Batanghari Jambi and Malingping District Hospital (RSUD Malingping) in Lebak Banten. In-depth interviews were conducted with various stakeholders.
Results: The availability of medical specialist in both hospitals in number and type are inadequate. This fact indicates low retention and motivation of medical specialists to work in remote area. The major factor in both hospitals is inadequate salaries, difficult access, lack of medical equipment, also the difficulty to develop a career. However, these factors in both area ultimately boil down to the lack of government policies that support medical specialist fulfillment.
Conclusion: The important factors that affect the lackness of effort in fulfilling medical specialists’ placement in remote areas are inadequate of infrastructures, competence and career development contraints, and the coordination between national and regional policies. The commitment of central and regional government to improve the infrastructures, competence and career developments, and regulations with respect to medical specialists in remote areas.

Published: June 2020

Background: We assessed the prevalence of obesity, overweight, central obesity and their associated risk factors in an urban population in Ahvaz, southwest of Iran.
Methods: This population-based cross-sectional study was performed via random cluster sampling method in 6 health centers in Iran in 2015. A questionnaire was completed by each individual.
Results: Of 2575 participants, 1187 (46%) were men. Nearly 50% of the participants’ level of education was high school or higher. About 82% of the population was married and about one-third had positive family history of parental obesity. The total prevalence of obesity, overweight, and central obesity were 26.5%, 38.7%, and 28.6%, respectively. The rate of obesity in men was lower than in women (P<0.001). The prevalence of obesity increased until the age of 60 yr in both genders and decreased thereafter except for central obesity in women, which increased without any lag. Low level of education, marriage, positive history of parental obesity and parity ≥five were associated with increased odds of obesity (OR=2.14(1.52, 3.00), OR=2.4(1.75, 2.99), OR=2.7(1.71, 3.2) and 4.16(2.17, 7.65), respectively).
Conclusion: Obesity and overweight have a high prevalence in southwest of the country, increasing with age. Although several risk factors are associated with obesity, the prevalence of obesity and overweight can be reduced by controlling the risk factors in the community.

Published: June 2020

Abstract: Cement industry contributes to 5% of global CO2 emissions. To mitigate pollution, there is a need of CO2 sequestration into stable forms. Present research focusses on CO2 being channelized towards an important construction practice. This paper summarizes the potential of CO2 absorption in concrete. To verify CO2 absorption in concrete, an artificial CO2 environment for curing of concrete cubes using dry ice was created. Considering concrete of M20 grade, a comparative experimental study of water cured concrete cubes, CO2 cured concrete cubes, for penetration (using phenolphthalein indicator), and compressive strength was carried out. The result analysis of the tests indicated that CO2 cured concrete cubes showed 22.125% higher compressive strength than water cured concrete cubes and CO2 penetration of 13.5 mm after 2 hours. The rate of CO2 penetration and strength gain in concrete was found to be rapid in the early hours. It is shown that CO2 can prove to be a useful resource in the construction scenario, especially in the precast.

Published: June 2020

Purpose of the study: The primary purpose of this experiment is to design, fabricate, and test the efficiency of a low-cost hot-air dryer. This type of dryer will help remove the maximum percentage of the moisture from fruits, rice, etc., so that they can be stored for longer times with high nutritional contents.

Methodology: Diameters, length of the column, and mesh size were calculated. The length and width of the pipe were taken as 35 cm*15 cm, respectively. For the purpose of fabrication, metal pipes were selected, welding equipment was used which joins by the fusion of the materials, then some wet particles were put in the mesh for testing, air is blown in the upward direction with high velocity, solid particles blow up in the air, and hot air will remove the moisture of the wet particles in the vapor form after a fixed time mesh was removed and the dried particles were weighed.

Main Findings: The drying process mainly depends on air temperature, velocity, and time. It was found that the food gets spoiled with the high temperature, velocity, and time; this leads to a lower nutritional value. It can dry 1000 kg of particles for 10 hours with 4433.2875 kg of flow air per hour when the temperature driving force for the heat transfer in flow systems is 80.750C.

Applications of this study: The main applications of the design and fabrication presented in this research work are that it will replace some of the costly drying equipment like rotating tray air dryers.

Published: June 2020

Inicialmente hacemos una descripción sobre la fisiología endocrina de la implantación ovular y la importancia que juega el cuerpo lúteo en esta fase temprana de la gestación. Seguidamente entramos a considerar la endocrinología de la placenta y su papel como órgano endocrino secretor de la gonadotrofina coriónica, de los esteroides ováricos, de los corticosteroides, los los andrógenos, HPL y las prostaglandinas. Hacemos hincapié en el concepto de la unidad feto-placentaria como entidad sintetizadora del estríol, el más importante de los compuestos estrogénicos producidos en el embarazo y su valor como medio diagnóstico del ambiente fetal.Posteriormente se describen los cambios endocrinos que sufre la madre, al incorporarse la placenta a su organismo, lo cual significa que tiene un nuevo órgano secretor interno. Estos cambios se cumplen en su función ovárica, en su hipófisis, en su tiroides, paratiroides, páncreas y corteza suprarrenal.A medida que el feto alcanza su término, sus glándulas endocrinas empiezan a mostrar actividad Se revisa entonces el sistema endocrino-fetal con referencia a todas las glándulas endocrinas clásicas (gonadas, hipófisis, tiroides etc.) y en particular al timo.A continuación se entra a tratar sobre el parto, sus diferentes períodos y sus mecanismos desencadenantes (inervación motora autónoma, estrógenos, ambiente externo, "stress" fetal, ACTH, corticosteroides, estimulación mecánica, ocitocina, progesterona y prostaglandinas).Después mencionamos brevemente los cambios que se observan en el puerperio, o sea el tiempo comprendido entre el nacimiento del niño y el alumbramiento de placenta y membranas ovulares y el retorno de los genitales internos y externos de la madre a su estado previo al embarazo. Este período dura de 6 a 8 semanas.Finalmente, entramos a considerar los aspectos endocrinos de la lactancia: la lactogénesis y la influencia que sobre ella tienen las hormonas hipofisiarias, la prolactina, los glucocorticoides y las hormonas ováricas y placentarias; el amamantamiento y estímulo de succión, y por último, la galactopoyesis.

Published: June 2020

The language of paraphrase (taa’wil, In Arabic: تاویل ) uses divine unseen (gheiybi, غیب) signs to shape the mosque institution. There are mosques and praying rituals for all realms: Literal (Mulki, مُلکی), Ethereal (Mithaali, مثالی), and Spiritual (Malakuti, ملکوتی). The rituals accomplish in mosque architecture in the hierarchy of being. The authority helps to explain the unseen concepts by paraphrase. The research questions are what factors have led to the manifestation of hidden ideas in the architecture of the Isfahan Jame Mosque objectively? And what are the evidence of unseen confirmations which led to introspection and personal approach? This research aims to answer the questions raised, then used a qualitative research method and describes the case study by using an analytical-introspective survey in combination with grounded theory to elucidate unseen concepts as esoteric meanings of architecture, in place and time. Numerous issues of the invisible architecture of mosque explain how to convert this mosque to desirable ones in the future.  The architecture of the Jame Mosque of Isfahan is a live example of unseen architecture. It has a close relationship with esoteric literature of not only its era but also for all periods of history. Issues of the invisible architecture of the mosque explain how to convert this mosque to desirable ones in the future.
TRANSITION ZONE IN SELJUQ DOME CHAMBERS
Authors: Moradi Amin
Published: June 2020

Architecturally, the Seljuqs' dominion makes a significant shift from the Pre-Islamic Sassanid squinches into a sophisticated transition mechanism employed to change the walls of a square chamber to an octagonal base to set a dome. It initiated a new construction methodology to hybridize the previous experiences of Sassanid domes with new architectural tendencies since the prior understanding of the transition zone was a makeshift in quality. It is not consistent enough for future architectural adventures in creating larger structures. Although a cursory investigation of transition zones of Seljuq dome chambers in some respects reveals a relatively homogeneous framework, it has never meant the stagnation of architectural creativity in different parts of the Seljuk territory. On the other hand, the typology and local schools of Seljuq transition zones of dome chambers have not been thoroughly considered by geographical centralism in Iran. For a better understanding of the standardization of various techniques considered in Seljuq architecture between the 11th and 12th centuries to span the cubic structure to a circular plan, this project is aimed to clarify three different schools of architectural articulation concerning transition zone in the Seljuq dome chambers. A structural analysis was conducted assuming several scenarios over Seljuq domes to clarify its geographical characteristics as well as static behaviors in different parts of Iran. This study shows that no dome has a regular mechanism of a transition zone, no two regions share the same approach, and three different empirical attitudes towards the transition zone would be enough to consider three architectural schools encompassing Northwest Iran, Alborz, and Central Iran, in which the difference lies in the basic elements of the construction of the transition zone rather than proportions.

Objective

The study aims were to identify maternal perceptions about the influence of a hospital-based breastfeeding peer support group in addressing breastfeeding concerns, assisting them to achieve their breastfeeding goals, and providing additional benefits.

Methods

A descriptive, cross-sectional, online survey was conducted with a convenience sample of women who attended a hospital's breastfeeding support group. Participants reported their breastfeeding concerns and breastfeeding goals prior to and after their attendance at the breastfeeding support group. Changes in reported breastfeeding concerns and breastfeeding goals were analyzed with chi-square statistics.

Results

After participating in the support group session, survey participants (N = 100) expressed less concern about latching (81%–66%), mother's milk production (77%–62%), breastfeeding while apart from infant (75%–65%), and all other reported breastfeeding concerns. Overall, participants reported the support group successfully addressed their concerns (92%, n = 89), provided adequate time for responses to their questions (87%, n = 87), and assisted them to achieve their breastfeeding goals (91%, n = 88). Over 90% of participants planned to exclusively breastfeed through 6 months.

Conclusion

Hospital-based breastfeeding support groups can successfully address mothers’ key breastfeeding concerns and support extended duration of breastfeeding.

Authors: Dolmatova O. I. , Lemesheva V. S. , Zadneprovskaya L. A.
Published: June 2020

The authors proposed a milk-containing product with a substitute for milk fat, produced according to the technology of sour cream using a protective culture in order to prolong the shelf life. The use of protective starter cultures does not require additional equipment or changes in technological parameters. The protective culture is introduced along with the main sourdough and works according to the traditional principle of fermentation, as well as through competitive exclusion, i.e. taking up space and reducing the possibility for the growth of yeast, molds and BGKP. Two developments of a milk-containing product were carried out - the first using a protective culture (experimental sample), the second without using a protective culture (control sample). The products are stored for 40 days at a temperature of 4 ± 2 °C. In the control sample, on day 30, yeast growth, deterioration in organoleptic indices, increase in titratable acidity were observed, on day 40, the product was considered spoiled. In the experimental sample, organoleptic, physicochemical and microbiological parameters during storage were within normal limits. The shelf life of a milk-containing product with a milk fat substitute produced using the technology of sour cream is determined using a protective culture taking into account a safety factor of 30 days. An increase in the shelf life of the latter by 30% was established in comparison with the control sample.

Authors: Yakovlev N. A. , Plakunova E. V. , Mostovoy A. S. , Shcherbakov A. S.
Published: June 2020

The structure and properties of ammonium polyphosphate and sodium silicofluoride used as dispersed fillers for epoxy compositions were studied. The morphology of the fillers was studied separately and in an epoxy composite matrix using scanning electron microscopy with an X-ray energy dispersive analysis detector. Due to the fact that sodium silicofluoride is a by-product in the production of phosphoric acid, its particle size was determined by sieve analysis and particle parameters were statistically calculated, while a comparative analysis of the studied filler with ammonium polyphosphate widely used in the production of composite materials, which at the same time, was performed time was not modified by the surfactant 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. The study of morphology and properties is a determining factor describing the size and type of particles, which entails the possibility of controlling technological parameters, such as the dynamic viscosity of the system, resistance to various loads, therefore, it is possible to obtain highly filled composites having high physical and mechanical characteristics. In this regard, the influence of the studied fillers on the properties of polymer composite materials is determined. The mechanisms of interaction of the modifying additive of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane with an epoxy oligomer and the effect of sizing on the properties of sodium silicofluoride and ammonium polyphosphate, processes, and the formation of a monolayer heterofunctional surfactant are studied.
Comparative evaluation of the coagulation methods effectiveness in the extraction of biologically active components from highly concentrated effluents
Authors: Korchagin V. I. , Dochkina J. N. , Denisova E. A. , Plyakina A. A.
Published: June 2020

A characteristic feature of highly concentrated effluents is the presence of valuable components - biologically active substances, which are secondary raw materials. The effectiveness of physico-chemical coagulation and electrocoagulation methods in relation to highly concentrated wastewater from a poultry processing enterprise, as well as the prevention of the secondary pollution of the effluent supplied to biological treatment, were analyzed in the work. The objects of the study included poultry stock (suspended solids 1770.0 mg / dm3, dry residue 1920.0 mg / dm3, chemical oxygen demand (COD) 1769.0 mg O2 / dm3), iron (III) FeCl3 chloride, iron soluble electrodes as the coagulant. The objectives of study involved determination of wastewater treatment effectiveness by the studied methods (physico-chemical coagulation and electrocoagulation) with the priority indicators changing: suspended solids, dry residue, chemical consumption of oxygen, iron, chlorides, and the precipitated residue mass. As a result of testing of highly concentrated effluents with a COD index of at least 1700.0 mg O2 / dm3, it was found out that during physico-chemical coagulation with FeCl3 at a concentration of 0.75 g / dm3, the content of priority indicators decreased by no less than 60%, while the effectiveness of electrocoagulation in relation to reducing the concentration of priority indicators was at least 70%. The content of iron compounds in wastewater with the application of electrochemical coagulation was 2.08 mg / dm3, which is 34% lower than after treatment of the effluent with iron (III) chloride FeCl3 at a concentration of 0.75 g / dm3. The chloride concentration did not change. As a result of the treatment of the effluent during the coagulation of (III) FeCl3, the secondary contamination of the treated effluent and the isolated products with iron and chlorides took place. This aspect may adversely affect the subsequent biological wastewater treatment, as well as lead to a decrease in the quality of the isolated product and its use limitation. Electrocoagulation is a more preferred way of isolating valuable components in relation to physico-chemical coagulation.

This study describes the ways to optimize the stage of processing multidimensional data of simulation systems with an integrated analytical signal such as an electronic nose. Programming models are presented in Exel tables for calculating additional parameters of the qualitative composition of a mixture of gases and vapors. Programming spreadsheets greatly simplifies the processing of the initial data of a set of sensors and allows you to quickly get new parameters to characterize the composition of the smell of samples. The formulas for calculating 4 additional characteristics are presented: identification parameters of sorption, kinetic parameter, sorption parameter for 3 sensors, mass fraction of components, mainly sorbed on each sensor in the array of electronic nose, and Pearson's similarity parameter for sets of these characteristics in order to compare the multi-component composition of the odor analyzed samples. The example of analyzing the smell of human skin shows the possibility of developing software for personal devices. The software includes the calculation of the characteristics of the proposed models and the visualization of their sets for easy perception by untrained users. The software allows you to quickly process data from the device, to present the possible causes of the deviation of the state from the average statistical norms. For a set of identification parameters of sorption, the boundaries of numerical values are defined, which characterize the normal functioning of the organism as a whole, individual organs and systems. When a calculated parameter enters these boundaries in the state diagram, it is colored green. The numerical limits of parameters and for anomalous states are determined. When the values of the calculated parameters fall into these intervals, on the state sphere, the zones of the corresponding parameters are colored yellow or red.So, untrained users easily perceive information without complex processing of multi-dimensional data.

The presence of unique natural complexes and landscapes in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, creating the prerequisites for the development of the hospitality and tourism industry. A study of the current state and the competitive advantages of the region for the development of the tourism industry in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic have been identified. The study found that on the territory of the Republic there are currently 11 zones of potential recreational specialization with different levels of development, including the Nalchik health resort complex, the Prielbrusye mountain recreation complex, and the Jyly – health-improving complexes Su”, “Aushiger”, “Tambukan”, climbing complex “Bezengi”, excursion-tourist complexes “Chegem waterfalls”, “Blue Lakes”, “Valley of Narzanov”, archaeological and tourist complexes» Upper Balkaria” and “Upper Chegem”. There are 14 different types of mineral springs in the republic: iodine-bromine, nitrogen-thermal, hydrogen sulfide, sodium bicarbonate, and bromine compounds. In the tourist complex of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic in 2019, there is a positive trend in the number of beds, the number of persons accommodated, the number of tourist companies and the number of persons rested, and the number of visits to museums and theaters. Despite the positive dynamics of these indicators, there are negative aspects, characterized by a decrease in the number of children who had a rest in health camps for children, the number of Russian tourists sent by CBD travel agencies in the Russian Federation and in foreign tours, an imbalance between supply and demand (demand exceeds supply). The obtained results reveal an understanding of specific activities that ensure the economic growth of the tourism industry and the competitive advantages of the region. The results of the study can be applied in developing trends in the development of the tourism industry in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, in educational processes and in the tourism sector.
Social risks and their impact on the quality of the human capital of the region
Authors: Leontieva A. G.
Published: June 2020

This article reveals the problem of the quality of human capital in the Russian regions. The relevance of the study is determined by the need for Russia to transition to a new model of economic growth, which is possible only on the basis of full use of human capital. An increased number of social risks that reduce the quality of life of citizens guides public authorities to determine the most important areas in the development of socio-economic policies. Based on official statistics for years 2014–2018, the human development index (HDI) was calculated for the Tyumen region (no autonomous districts included). The value of this indicator was compared with the Federal subjects, included in the Urals Federal District, as well as with the all-Russian indicator. Based on the values of the HDI index, conclusions revealing problems and giving guidelines of the regional socio-economic policy aimed at improving the quality of life of citizens in the Russian Federation and reducing the impact of social risks on it.
Brahmi Word Recognition by Supervised Techniques

Significant progress has made in pattern recognition technology. However, one obstacle that has not yet overcome is the recognition of words in the Brahmi script, specifically the recognition of characters, compound characters, and word because of complex structure. For this kind of complex pattern recognition problem, it is always difficult to decide which feature extraction and classifier would be the best choice. Moreover, it is also true that different feature extraction and classifiers offer complementary information about the patterns to be classified. Therefore, combining feature extraction and classifiers, in an intelligent way, can be beneficial compared to using any single feature extraction. This study proposed the combination of HOG +zonal density with SVM to recognize the Brahmi words. Keeping these facts in mind, in this paper, information provided by structural and statistical based features are combined using SVM classifier for script recognition (word-level) purpose from the Brahmi words images. Brahmi word dataset contains 6,475 and 536 images of Brahmi words of 170 classes for the training and testing, respectively, and the database is made freely available. The word samples from the mentioned database are classified based on the confidence scores provided by support vector machine (SVM) classifier while HOG and zonal density use to extract the features of Brahmi words. Maximum accuracy suggested by system is 95.17% which is better than previously suggested studies.
MFNR: Multi-Frame Method for Complete Speckle Noise Removal in Ultrasound images Using KDE

Published: June 2020

Speckle noise is one of the most difficult noises to remove especially in medical applications. It is a nuisance in ultrasound imaging systems which is used in about half of all medical screening systems. Thus, noise removal is an important step in these systems, thereby creating reliable, automated, and potentially low cost systems. Herein, a generalized approach MFNR (Multi-Frame Noise Removal) is used, which is a complete Noise Removal system using KDE (Kernal Density Estimation). Any given type of noise can be removed if its probability density function (PDF) is known. Herein, we extracted the PDF parameters using KDE. Noise removal and detail preservation are not contrary to each other as the case in single-frame noise removal methods. Our results showed practically complete noise removal using MFNR algorithm compared to standard noise removal tools. The Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) performance was used as a comparison metric. This paper is an extension to our previous paper where MFNR Algorithm was showed as a general purpose complete noise removal tool for all types of noises

Published: June 2020

This study was a descriptive research with the quantitative approach which aimed to describe the academic integrity of the Buddhist college students in Indonesia. This study used 224 students who selected using proportionate cluster sampling. The data were collected using the academic integrity questionnaire with five dimensions, namely honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility. The questionnaire consisted of 39 items with a Likert modification scale (four options). The result of this study showed that the academic integrity of Buddhist College students in Indonesia was supported by the fairness dimension. The academic integrity both of male and female college students were supported by the fairness dimension, and neither was based on the department, the academic integrity both of Dharmacarya and Dharmaduta students were supported by the fairness dimension. Generally, the academic integrity of Buddhist college students in Indonesia was supported by the fairness dimension which included fairness form lecturers, fairness in expressing opinions, and transparency of the values in the lecture process. Nevertheless, both the honesty and the trust dimension need to be considered because they got a lower score than the other dimensions.
Trapiche o ingenio de azúcar de Jimena de la Frontera
Authors: Moreno Moreno Ana
Published: June 2020

La plantación de cañas y la instalación del ingenio para la obtención de azúcar en Jimena de la Frontera se enmarcan dentro de las distintas actividades emprendedoras que inició el VI duque de Medina Sidonia, D. Juan Alonso de Guzmán y Zúñiga. El azúcar de Jimena podía aportar al ducado una nueva fuente de ingresos a través de la venta del producto. Sin embargo, se trató de una empresa arriesgada que estuvo a expensas de las condiciones meteorológicas que fueron las que arruinaron la actividad.

Tuvo un importante impacto económico en la zona aunque efímero, y como su vida fue tan breve, no dio tiempo a que tuviera efectos colaterales sobre el paisaje y los recursos.

Published: June 2020

The main objective of the current study is to offer the first critical edition, accompanied by an English translation and introductory study, of a tripartite Latin text addressing world astrology preserved in a single manuscript: MS Vatican City, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Pal. lat. 1407, fols. 55r–62r (14th/15th century). This study also includes the Middle English translation of discontinuous sections of this tripartite Latin text as transmitted in MS London, Royal College of Physicians, 384, fols. 83v–85r. It is argued that the first part of this tripartite text incorporates a hitherto unknown Latin translation by Henry Bate of the lost third version of Abraham Ibn Ezra’s Sefer ha-ʿOlam. The other two parts include two Latin translations, also carried out by Henry Bate, of treatises ascribed to Ya‘qūb ibn Ishāq al-Kindī, the « philosopher of the Arabs ».
