The “purity” of an organic compound typically refers, in practice, to an assignment of the mass fraction content of the primary organic component present in the material. The “purity” value of an organic primary calibrator material is the ultimate source of metrological traceability of any quantitative measurement of the content of that compound in a given matrix. The primary calibrator may consist of a Certified Reference Material (CRM) whose purity has been assigned by the CRM producer or a laboratory may choose to value-assign a material to the extent necessary for their intended application by using appropriately valid methods. This report provides an overview of the approach, performance and applicability of the principal methods used to determine organic purity including mass balance, quantitative NMR, thermal methods and direct-assay techniques. A statistical section reviews best practice for combination of data, value assignment as the upper limit values corresponding to 100 % purity are approached and how to report and propagate the standard uncertainty associated with the assigned values.
Theoretical models for gas separation prediction of mixed matrix membranes: effects of the shape factor of nanofillers and interface voids
Authors: Chehrazi Ehsan
Published: January 2023

In this work, a new model is developed by modifying the existing Maxwell–Wagner–Sillars (MWS) model to predict the gas separation properties of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). The new modified MWS model, for the first time, provides the simultaneous exploration of the role of nanofillers/matrix interface voids and the exact geometrical shape of nanofillers in predicting the gas separation properties of MMMs. To unveil the crucial role of nanofillers/matrix interface voids, a mixed matrix membrane is considered a three-component system composed of the polymer matrix as the continuous component, nanofillers as the dispersed component and the interface voids between the two components. Moreover, the new model elucidates the role of the exact ellipsoidal shape of nanofillers within the membrane on the gas separation of MMMs by considering the shape factor of nanofillers. The newly developed modified MWS model is accurately able to predict the gas permeation of MMMs with a lower average absolute relative error (%AARE) of around 8% compared with the around 30% for conventional models such as the Maxwell model, Bruggeman model, Lewis–Nielsen model and Pal model and even compared with the modified Maxwell model (∼24%).
The Cambridge structural database (CSD): important resources for teaching concepts in structural chemistry and intermolecular interactions
Authors: Tetteh Samuel
Published: January 2023

The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) is a repository of all published organic and metal-organic crystal structures of small molecules. These compounds have been crystallized under different conditions and have variable bond parameters and molecular landscapes. Entries in the database therefore serve as real models that can be used to illustrate structural properties such as bond angles, bond distances, torsion angles and other intra- and intermolecular interactions. This paper illustrates how the CSD programs ConQuest and Mercury can be used to search the database for 3D molecular structures to teach concepts such as molecular geometry, symmetry and group theory, organometallic chemistry and intermolecular interactions involving hydrogen bonding and Full Interaction Maps (FIMs) to explore molecular landscapes for halogen bond interactions. Results obtained from these studies are beneficial to understand and predict crystal properties as well as the structural properties of molecules and ions in crystal environments.
The Arab Spring and Its Implications for FDI Inflows to the MENA Region
Authors: Ghazalian Pascal L.
Published: January 2023

The Arab Spring (AS) marked an unprecedented event in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and it generated political and economic uncertainties and triggered violent conflicts and political rifts. This paper empirically examines the short-run and long-run effects of the AS on foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows to the MENA region and to individual MENA countries. The empirical analysis is implemented through the generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator for dynamic panel models, using different empirical specifications. The benchmark results show that the AS has led to important reductions in FDI inflows to the MENA region. A more detailed empirical analysis reveals significant variations in the AS effects on FDI inflows across MENA countries and it underscores distinct patterns over different time periods. These findings imply that governments in the MENA region are required to maintain political stability, and to adopt distinctive policies that lessen the adverse implications of the AS and that set favorable conditions for FDI inflows in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era.
Resonant Column Testing Procedure for Microbial-Induced Carbonate-Precipitated Sands
Authors: Na Kyunguk , Cabas Ashly , Montoya Brina M.
Published: January 2023

One of the fundamental inputs to site response analysis is the characterization of the dynamic properties of the soil, namely the shear modulus and material damping ratio. Because of soil’s nonlinear behavior, these properties change with induced shear strains, and modulus reduction and damping (MRD) curves have been proposed to capture that cyclic shear strain dependency. Microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a natural cementation process that induces the precipitation of calcium carbonate, bonding soil particles together. Laboratory experiments have demonstrated that MICP can improve the mechanical behavior of soils and mitigate their liquefaction potential. However, MRD curves have not been developed for MICP-treated soils, which hinders further evaluations of their suitability as a ground improvement technique for geotechnical earthquake engineering applications. To the best of our knowledge, this paper provides the first empirical study measuring the shear strain–dependent dynamic properties of MICP-treated sands for different cementation levels (i.e., lightly to heavily cemented). Outcomes from this work include empirical models of the maximum shear modulus and minimum shear strain damping ratio of MICP-treated clean sands and the corresponding mean MRD curves. The experimental program includes MICP-treated specimens of Ottawa 20-30 sand tested with a resonant column (RC) device incorporating a modified RC porous disk that (1) minimizes the disturbance between treatment and installation of MICP-treated samples prior to being tested in the RC device, (2) prevents slippage between the specimen and the modified RC porous disk during RC shearing, and (3) enables repeatability of the MICP-treated sample preparation. We find that the level of cementation influences the MRD curves of MICP-treated sands. Linear elastic and volumetric shear strain thresholds for MICP-treated sands are smaller than those for untreated sands, whereas the initial shear modulus for treated soils is larger than its counterpart for untreated sands.

Since its first identification in 1894 during the third pandemic in Hong Kong, there has been significant progress in understanding the lifestyle of Yersinia pestis, the pathogen that is responsible for plague. Although we now have some understanding of the pathogen’s physiology, genetics, genomics, evolution, gene regulation, pathogenesis and immunity, there are many unknown aspects of the pathogen and its disease development. Here, we focus on some of the knowns and unknowns related to Y. pestis and plague. We notably focus on some key Y. pestis physiologic and virulence traits that are important for its mammal-flea-mammal life cycle, but also its emergence from the enteropathogen, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. Some aspects of the genetic diversity of Y. pestis, the distribution and ecology of plague, as well as the medical countermeasures to protect our population are also provided. Lastly, we present some biosafety and biosecurity information related to Y. pestis and plague.
An fMRI-Based Brain Marker of Individual Differences in Delay Discounting

Published: January 2023

Individual differences in delay discounting—how much we discount future compared to immediate rewards—are associated with general life outcomes, psychopathology, and obesity. Here, we use machine learning on fMRI activity during an intertemporal choice task to develop a functional brain marker of these individual differences in human adults. Training and cross-validating the marker in one dataset (Study 1,N = 110 male adults) resulted in a significant prediction–outcome correlation (r = 0.49), generalized to predict individual differences in a completely independent dataset (Study 2:N = 145 male and female adults,r = 0.45), and predicted discounting several weeks later. Out-of-sample responses of the functional brain marker, but not discounting behavior itself, differed significantly between overweight and lean individuals in both studies, and predicted fasting-state blood levels of insulin, c-peptide, and leptin in Study 1. Significant predictive weights of the marker were found in cingulate, insula, and frontoparietal areas, among others, suggesting an interplay among regions associated with valuation, conflict processing, and cognitive control. This new functional brain marker is a step toward a generalizable brain model of individual differences in delay discounting. Future studies can evaluate it as a potential transdiagnostic marker of altered decision-making in different clinical and developmental populations.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTPeople differ substantially in how much they prefer smaller sooner rewards or larger later rewards such as spending money now versus saving it for retirement. These individual differences are generally stable over time and have been related to differences in mental and bodily health. What is their neurobiological basis? We applied machine learning to brain-imaging data to identify a novel brain activity pattern that accurately predicts how much people prefer sooner versus later rewards, and which can be used as a new brain-based measure of intertemporal decision-making in future studies. The resulting functional brain marker also predicts overweight and metabolism-related blood markers, providing new insight into the possible links between metabolism and the cognitive and brain processes involved in intertemporal decision-making.
Infralimbic Projections to the Nucleus Accumbens Shell and Amygdala Regulate the Encoding of Cocaine Extinction Learning
Authors: Nett Kelle E. , Zimbelman Alexa R. , McGregor Matthew S. , Alizo Vera Vanessa , Harris Molly R. , LaLumiere Ryan T.
Published: January 2023

Prior evidence indicates that the infralimbic cortex (IL) mediates the ongoing inhibition of cocaine seeking following self-administration and extinction training in rats, specifically through projections to the nucleus accumbens shell (NAshell). Our own data indicate that IL activity immediately following an unreinforced lever press is critical for encoding the extinction contingencies in such procedures. Whether extinction encoding requires activity in the IL exclusively or also activity in its outputs, such as those to the NAshell and amygdala, is unknown. To address this issue, we used a closed-loop optogenetic approach in female and male Sprague Dawley rats to silence IL–NAshell or IL–amygdala activity following an unreinforced lever press during extinction training. Optical illumination (20 s) was given either immediately after a lever press or following a 20 s delay. IL–NAshell inhibition immediately following an unreinforced lever press increased lever pressing during extinction training and impaired retention of extinction learning, as assessed during subsequent extinction sessions without optical inhibition. Likewise, IL–amygdala inhibition given in the same manner impaired extinction retention during sessions without inhibition. Control experiments indicate that critical encoding of extinction learning does not require activity in these pathways beyond the initial 20 s post-lever press period, as delayed IL–NAshell and IL–amygdala inhibition had no effect on extinction learning. These results suggest that a larger network extending from the IL to the NAshell and amygdala is involved in encoding extinction contingencies following cocaine self-administration.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTInfralimbic cortex (IL) activity following an unreinforced lever press during extinction learning encodes the extinction of cocaine-seeking behavior. However, the larger circuitry controlling such encoding has not been investigated. Using closed-loop optogenetic pathway targeting, we found that inhibition of IL projections to the nucleus accumbens shell and to the amygdala impaired the extinction of cocaine seeking. Importantly, these effects were only observed when activity was disrupted during the first 20 s post-lever press and not when given following a 20 s delay. These findings suggest that successful cocaine extinction encoding requires activity across a larger circuit beyond simply inputs to the IL.

U vremenu neposredno nakon ukidanja Vojne krajine 1881. godine i pripojenja ovoga teritorija Hrvatskoj pojavljuju se prve novine na teritoriju tadašnje Ličkokrbavske županije koja je ustrojena 1886. godine. Vrijeme nakon ukidanja Vojne krajine je vrijeme prilagodbe civilnom načinu života poslije vremena kada je ovaj teritorij predstavljao branu turskim prodorima u Hrvatsku. U takvim okolnostima gospodarske prilike i društveni život bili su prilagođeni vojničkom načinu razmišljanja. Ukidanjem Vojne krajine 15. srpnja 1881. godine ona je pripojena Kraljevini Hrvatskoj i Slavoniji kao autonomnoj pokrajini koja je imala obilježja državnosti u sastavu Zemalja krune sv. Stjepana. U Kraljevini Hrvatskoj i Slavoniji kao dijelu Austro-Ugarske što je određeno Austro-ugarskom nagodbom od 1867. godine i pod vlašću Franje Josipa I. (1848. – 1916.) otvara se mogućnost za stvaranje županija na tom teritoriju, a samim time i Ličko – krbavske županije. Tema ovoga rada je prikaz stanja u Ličko-krbavskoj županiji i posebno u njenom središtu, Gospiću, na prijelazu iz 19. u 20 stoljeće. Prije svega gospodarskih prilika, ali i društvenog i kulturnog života, odnosno uvjeta u kojima se pojavljuju prve novine koje su i glavni izvor informacija za ovaj rad.

La garantía del derecho a la reunión familiar de personas inmigrantes y refugiadas venezolanas de Dourados en el Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul
Authors: Zanoni da Silva João Lucas
Published: January 2023

The municipality of Dourados, located in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, is the fourth largest recipient of Venezuelan immigrants and refugees interiorized in Brazil. The voluntary and assisted relocation of these people in this location occurred, for the most part, through the actions implemented by Operation Shelter and Project Shelter. Until September 2022, 3.349 people from the Venezuelan population had already been relocated to Dourados, of which 2.612 had arrived in the locality through the process of interiorization through family reunification and social gathering, based on the concept of family based on affectivity. Thus, this study aims to analyze the right to family reunification of immigrants and refugees as a human and fundamental right, as well as the public policies implemented in the aforementioned municipality to guarantee them this right and promote their local integration into the host society. The research is justified by bringing an analysis of the access policy and implementation of the right to family reunion of these people, through the mentioned process, with a view to their local integration. Therefore, the deductive method is used, in a qualitative approach, in a basic research of bibliographic and documentary references to verify how the right to family reunion has been guaranteed to this group of Dourados. Finally, it appears necessary to develop a public policy at the three federal levels of government to ensure their local integration into the host society, since relocation by family reunification and social gathering are not enough.
La política pública de cuidado alternativo institucional en Chile: análisis a partir de situaciones de violación a los derechos de niños, niñas y adolescentes
Authors: Aguirre Arredondo Claribel Angelina , Tristán Rodríguez María Suhey
Published: January 2023

In the text, we reflect about the possibility that the serious rights violations of children and adolescents who are in alternative care centers because of a determination of a Family Court, could be directly related to the design and the implementation of public policy in this area. Four possible causes of these violations are presented, which were identified from a documentary analysis, among them, the way in which the protection of children’s and adolescents’ human rights has been understood in Chile, the outsourcing of public policy, its implementation, and the delay in the processing of laws related to the protection of children’s and adolescent’s rights. Towards the end of the text, the need for this alternative care policy to be designed and executed from a comprehensive rights protection approach is raised. At the same time, the need to design and strengthen programs to prevent the children´s and adolescents’ rights violation in order to prevent them from being later separated from their families and institutionalized is raised.
Studies on the use of glassionomer
Authors: Gherman Adina-Mădălina , Buduru Smaranda Dana , Mesaroș Anca-Ștefania
Published: January 2023

Background and aims. This study is focused on the analysis of the properties of glassionomers following the choice of the type of material by the dentists. The study evaluated the properties of glassionomers used for restorations directly by comparing those prepared manually with those prepared mechanically, to find an “ideal” glassionomer and to counteract the disadvantages of the material.

Method. The study was conducted on the basis of a questionnaire and included 254 dentists from Romania. It took place between April 6 - 24, 2020 and the questionnaire was administered online. The questions focused on: the type of glassionomer chosen by every dentist, the doctor’s opinion about the properties, type and clinical indications of the material.

Results. The results showed that in Romania, the dentists use the glassionomer for a permanent filling in adults because of the financial aspect, as they stated. In their opinion the best advantages are the fluoride release and adhesion to dental tissues and, on the other hand the biggest disadvantage is aesthetics.

Conclusions. Among the conclusions are the following: the glassionomer is frequently used in dental offices, especially the powder-liquid system, as a commercial product; no standard type of glassionomer was found.
Prognostic markers for ischemic stroke – are they truly reliable?
Authors: Roman-FIlip Corina , Catană Maria-Gabriela , Mihaila Romeo-Gabriel
Published: January 2023

Background. Stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Despite extensive research, to this date there is no panel of biomarkers for the prevention and prognosis of ischemic stroke and there is still much incomplete and insufficiently researched information.

Aim. We conducted a prospective, observational study between January and June 2020. The main objective of this study was to clarify the role of inflammation markers, i.e. neutrophil/ lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), high-sensitivity C – reactive protein (hsCRP) in ischemic stroke and whether there is or not a correlation between these markers and carotid stenosis.

Study design. In the study we included 150 subjects divided in two groups: study group – 100 subjects and control group – 50 subjects.

Methods. Data collected during the research (at the time of patient admission): 1) biological sample: 5 ml of peripheral blood were collected in a vial with clot activator and separating gel, from which the following laboratory tests were performed: hsCRP, neutrophils, lymphocytes, platelets. NLR and PLR were subsequently calculated as the ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes, respectively platelets and lymphocytes), 2) paraclinical examinations: extracranial carotid Doppler ultrasound examination.

Results. The results were impressive: high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hsCRP), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were strongly, respectively moderately correlated with the severity of stroke (the severity being established with the NIHS (National Institute of Health Stroke) score. None of the inflammation markers included in the present study was correlated with carotid stenosis.

Conclusion. hsCRP, NLR and PLR may potentially be prognostic markers for ischemic stroke, being of major help in preventing its possible complications.
Changes in the linguistic identity of Ukrainians during the Russian-Ukrainian war: 2022
Authors:   Uzhhorod National University, Shumytska Halyna
Published: January 2023

The paper considers the views of the contempory thinkers and those of the past on the inextricable link between the language and human spiritual strength, as well as the role of the Ukrainianlanguage as a national one at the present stage of its development. Examples from the Ukrainian life in the Russian-Ukrainian war, as well as the fragments of transcripts from sociolinguistic research in the Transcarpathian region, in particular within the «Contested LanguageDiversity — Dealing with Minority Languages in post-Soviet Ukraine» project, characterize the language and linguistic and political situation in Ukraine in general and the Transcarpathian region in particular. It is hoped that at this historic moment, the Ukrainian language will become the basis for the nation unification. Attention has been also paid to the manipulativeness of Russian narratives, to Russianspeaking fighters who defend Ukraine, and to the need to generate one’s own ways of addressing events. The author hopes that precisely at this historical moment, the latest temporary «resettlement» of Ukrainian residents will contribute to the gradual and organic transition of Russian-speaking citizens of Ukraine to Ukrainian, which will eventually become the basis for the unification of the nation. Keywords: linguo-philosophy, the Ukrainian language, mother tounge, de-Russification, language policy, sociological polls
Sacred precedent in the Ukrainian linguistic culture of the war period
Authors:   Kharkiv National Pedagogical University named after G. S. Skovoroda, Piddubna Nataliia
Published: January 2023

The article is devoted to the verbalization of sacred category in Ukrainian linguistic culture during the Russian — Ukrainian war 2022. The durability of tradition in the presentation of religious meanings and their modernization in modern conditions are shown as a kind of linguistic creativity of Ukrainians in regard to the continuation of the national tradition in the modeling of semantic-pragmatic meanings in the plane sacred-profanne. Attention is drawn to the fact that verbalization of sacred and anti-sacred, as everything in the language system and speech, semonstrates progress, dynamics, development. The article examines the linguistic manifestations of the processes of sacralization, desacralization, and resacralization as components of the category of sacred. The role of the language game that manifested at different linguistic levels (graphical, word-forming, phraseological) in the desacralization of certain religious concepts is demonstrated. The cultural and worldview conditioning of the sacred is shown, which is realized in the partial desacralization of religious concepts and sacralization of national precedent ones, primarily the Armed Forces. The attention is focused on the appearance of new specific precedent texts, in which the partial desacralization of important religious concepts is a kind of background for the expression of the sacralization of the Armed Forces and Ukraine, which demonstrates both the durability of tradition and innovation in Ukrainian linguistic culture. Keywords: sacralization, desacralization, resacralization, precedent, language game
Insular dialect and foreign-language environment (on the material of the Ukrainian dialects of Bashkortostan)
Authors:   Institute of the Ukrainian Language of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Tkachuk Maryna
Published: January 2023

The article is devoted to the issue of the interaction of insular Ukrainian dialects abroad and the foreign dialectal environment. It is emphasized that such interaction is two-way: not only insular dialects adopt the features of contact languages, but vice versa — the impact of insular dialects on the foreign language environment is noticeable, which is illustrated by the example of Ukrainian and Russian dialects of Bashkortostan. The analysis showed that the “Dictionary of the Russian Dialects of Bashkiria” affirms a significant Ukrainian influence on the non-Ukrainian dialects of these areas, as it contains a lot of vocabulary of Ukrainian origin in the dialects that are represented in the dictionary as Russian ones. The analyzed dictionary presents both commonly used Ukrainian lexis, which belongs to the active vocabulary of speech, and passivized lexis, including ethnographicisms, names from the sphere of spiritual culture and nominations of realities that have fallen out of use. It was found that loanwords from Ukrainian presented in the dictionary are different parts of speech. At the same time, the originally Ukrainian lexis in the Russian dialects of Bashkortostan can have a different temporal origin: it can be borrowed not only directly from Ukrainian settlers in Bashkyria, but also brought from genetically Ukrainian areas in the southeast of the Russian Federation (for example, Voronezh region, Kuban, etc.). It creates a certain difficulty for the researcher in analyzing of language material and the need to refer to a wider source background. Keywords: insular dialects, enclave dialects, foreign-language environment, foreign-dialect environment, Ukrainian enclaves, Ukrainian dialects in a foreign-language environment, loanwords
L. T. Masenko: a strategy for researching the language situation in Ukraine and language development
Authors:   Institute of the Ukrainian Language of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Sokolova Svitlana
Published: January 2023

The article characterizes the works of L. Masenko, according to which the directions of research of the linguistic situation of Ukraine that are relevant today are determined, and the development of these directions in the works of other Ukrainian sociolinguists is traced. A number of the author’s publications are devoted to the analysis of the Soviet language policy aimed at limiting the functions of the Ukrainian language and artificially interfering with its structure in order to bring it closer to Russian. They present a brief period of Ukrainization in the 20th century, the policy of great terror that followed, the period of Khrushchev’s thaw, which was accompanied by a certain liberalization, and the subsequent period of intensified russification. In connection with the periodization of the Soviet language policy, the term linguocide was discussed. In several works of the scientist, the main parameters of the description of the modern language situation of Ukraine are defined. Such parameters include: the demographic power of languages, their communicative power in various spheres, in particular in the system of education, science, culture, mass media, and state administration. Equally important is attention to intergenerational features of communication, axiological parameters, etc. It was emphasized that the screening of the state of affairs in these areas should be regular, territorially oriented and carried out according to comparative methods. These features of the language situation are carefully covered in a collective monograph based on the results of an international scientific project under the leadership of Iu. Besters-Dilger (2006—2008) and in the materials of the next project under the leadership of M. Wingender (2016—2019), in which L. T. Masenko took part. The specified parameters are still relevant. In connection with the study of language behavior, the concept of language stability, which was proposed by O. Tkachenko at one time, was discussed. Attention is focused on topical issues of sociolinguistics, in particular, the study of the surzhyk phenomenon, which is ambiguously interpreted in the literature, with the involvement of a wide range of factual material. The importance of preparing materials for the formation of a scientifically based state language policy (a topic that L. T. Masenko is actively working on), in particular in the field of protecting the languages of indigenous peoples and the use of languages of national minorities, was also emphasized. Keywords: sociolinguistics, Ukrainian language, Surzhyk, language policy, linguicide, language stability
Community-Academic Advocacy to Improve Shelter Access for Families Experiencing Homelessness
Authors: Kanak Mia , Turley Kelly , Lee Lois K. , Sandel Megan , Stewart Amanda M.
Published: January 2023

A 2012 Massachusetts shelter eligibility regulation required many families to spend a night in a location “not meant for human habitation” before qualifying for the state-run shelter system, and many families experiencing homelessness stayed in pediatric emergency departments (EDs) overnight to meet this requirement. ED clinicians initially recognized an increase in ED visits for homelessness after this regulation and began compiling and sharing stories with key institutional and community partners and stakeholders. To bolster advocacy efforts, the authors collected data on the magnitude of the problem and its associated health care costs. Guided by the policy knowledge of community partners, the authors leveraged the expertise and advocacy power of clinicians to share these data and stories with legislators via written and oral testimony, community events, and the media. Academic publication lent additional credibility and exposure to their research. In 2019, the Massachusetts Legislature passed budget language to overturn the 2012 shelter eligibility regulation. However, despite this policy victory, some families continue to present to EDs for homelessness. Therefore, current advocacy efforts have shifted focus toward implementation and enforcement of the new policy, monitoring issues, and developing new programmatic responses. In this advocacy case study, we illustrate how clinicians have unique abilities to serve as effective advocates for social policy change using a framework of strategies including storytelling, coalition building, tailored communication, and data sharing. Partnering with existing advocacy networks within their institution and community enhances the advocacy efforts of all stakeholders to influence social and health outcomes for children and families.

Orígenes de la fragmentación espacial en Bogotá 1940-1970. Aportes para la reflexión sobre ciudades latinoamericanas
Authors: Jiménez González Camilo Arturo , Berti Natalia Teresa
Published: January 2023

Este artículo problematiza la noción de fragmentación espacial en ciudades latinoamericanas. Para ello, aborda el tema de la desarticulación urbana desde un enfoque semiótico y sociohistórico de la ciudad de Bogotá. Presenta las raíces de este fenómeno y sus principales expresiones en la centralidad urbana de la capital colombiana entre los años 40 y 70. Se concluye que la fragmentación no es un fenómeno propio del urbanismo neoliberal, sino que se originó en la conflictiva y excluyente modernización de la ciudad en las primeras décadas del siglo XX, cuando las estructuras asociativas históricas se vieron amenazadas por nuevas fuerzas de cambio. El estudio sugiere elementos teórico-metodológicos para establecer formas alternativas de comparación socioespacial y diálogos entre diferentes referentes urbanos de la región.
La evolución de los vínculos entre los poderes laicos y las órdenes religiosas en la Castilla bajomedieval
Authors: Prieto-Sayagués Juan-A.
Published: January 2023

En el presente trabajo se analiza la evolución de las relaciones de benefactoría y protección entre la nobleza y el patriciado urbano, por una parte, y las órdenes religiosas, por otra, durante la Baja Edad Media castellana. Se pondrá el centro de atención en las diversas fundaciones monásticas y conventuales protagonizadas por estos grupos, así como las donaciones y la protección brindada a los centros religiosos. Se tratará de hacer un análisis de conjunto en torno a las diferentes órdenes religiosas que tuvieron presencia en Castilla durante el periodo de estudio: tradicionales –benedictinos, cistercienses y premonstratenses–, mendicantes –franciscanos, dominicos, agustinos y carmelitas–, redentoras de cautivos –trinitarios y mercedarios– y las órdenes que hicieron su entrada en Castilla en los primeros reinados Trastámara –jerónimos y cartujos–.
The Common Pre-Individual Dimension of Labor and Art under Post-Fordism: the Post-Operaism Approach
Authors: Yana Grigorova
Published: January 2023

The study explores the ways of involving the potential dimension of labor into its formation at the current stage. The concept of individualising the “pre-individual” by the Italian philosopher P. Virno is drawn upon to expand the "aesthetic model" onto all productive activities. In the process of the modern labor formation, individualising the pre-individual reality, including the language, human perception, affective sphere, and productive forces of the society, manifests itself through the workforce. All the aforementioned factors constitute the total potential charge of the “pre-individual”. The paper goes on to demonstrate the influence of the artistic critique of industrial labor on this process. The demands for autonomy, creativity, and freedom postulated by art criticism were incorporated into new forms of labor organization. Ways of managing labor began to be directed towards reducing unjustified labor costs as they started to be associated with the unrealized potential of workers. Subsequently, the model of artistic practices spread to the entire world of labor. The problem of involving the potential dimension of labor in its formation is considered through the prism of post-operaism showing that the cultural industry is built around the communicative activity "without the work". An attempt is made to demonstrate that artistic activity in modern society is characterized by the total involvement of the entire life into artistic practices. In addition, such activity is associated with project-based, unstable and intensive forms of human self-actualization. The study emphasizes that such activity is associated with collective practices since it includes the activity of not only the artist, but also the public. Accordingly, the subjectivity of the contemporary worker must be described through the processes of collective creativity and collective subjectivity. The second part of the study focuses on the potential labor dimension and emphasizes that the modern metamorphosis of labor echoes A. Gastev's famous project which emerged as a way to transform labor itself in its potentiality. Gustev's scientific labor organization project demonstrates the possibility of involving pre-individual potentialities into the production practices. In order for this involvement to take place, it is necessary to influence the human body in a certain way and to activate its creative potential suggesting a connection between Gustev's ideas and biopolitics. The investigation paves the way for a new artistic critique that might allow for the commodification of “the pre-individual '' to take place.
The Self-Styled Amateur: the Imagined Subject and Self-Organisation in the Post-Capitalist Era
Authors: Yana Tsyrlina
Published: January 2023

This study addresses two interrelated issues: separating various forms of subjectivity in the context of contemporary artistic production and constructing a postcapitalist subject. The mechanisms of such construction are considered in connection with the concept of space outlined in contemporary philosophical and critical studies. Forms of space are understood in terms of the conceptual framework defined by David Harvey and Felix Guattari, on the one hand, and Karl Marx, on the other. It is assumed that representative forms of art have the capacity to reflect certain types of subjectivity. In defining a potential model of the postcapitalist subjectivity, the study deals with two chosen positions: the amateur and "just doing” focusing on another foundational element of the research – the notion of "work” – and following in the path of John Holloway and J.C. Gibson Graham. The capabilities of out-of-work practices and "just doing" are explored through the example of exhibitions and art projects while artistic practices are provided to demonstrate the capacity of self-organized cultural activity and amateur practices. The theory of "dark matter" art by Gregory Sholette is discussed helping to identify the characteristics of the postcapitalist subject as non-essentialist ones. In both cases, it has been shown that the subjects are enmeshed in capital, however, acceptance of such an entanglement as represented by art is a starting point for articulating new forms of activity and creating an alternative to capitalism.

A Comparative Study on global Innovation Companies Based on Wide Lens Theory
Authors:   Korea Association for International Commerce and Information, Park Mun Su
Published: January 2023

This study was based on the topic of why countless innovation efforts by companies fail. The purpose of this study is to analyze cooperative innovation cases and present implications for overseas companies that have succeeded in innovation based on Ron Adner's wide lens theory (2012). Through this study, we present insights that companies should think deeply about not only their own innovations, but also joint innovations with innovation ecosystem partners, and make integrated joint efforts. Through the case of overseas companies, it can be confirmed that not only the innovation efforts and development of the company itself, but also the importance of the value chain and innovation partners and the formation of a joint front are important factors. It is presented by dividing it into three areas of wide lens theory. The implications are as follows. First, for a company's own innovation, it is necessary to structure the company culture and organization that are not afraid of failure. Second, to strengthen joint innovation, building positive and cooperative relationships with partner research institutes is of paramount importance, such as Pfizer's vaccine development case. Third, it is necessary to find partnership opportunities and establish strategic convergence that develops in order to strengthen value chain innovation.
A Study on the Foreign Transactions of China’s Cotton Textile Industry Before the Reform and Open Door Era

Published: January 2023

This paper aims to confirm how China's representative industry, the cotton textile industry, was influenced by external transactions before the reform and open door era, and what role it played in the Chinese economy.
In the China’s cotton textile industry, raw cotton showed a significant level of self-sufficiency through domestic cotton cultivation. This result was because the Chinese government effectively implemented a cotton production increase policy through the planned economic system.
In addition, few imports were made because cotton products were produced enough to meet domestic demand. Rather, by exporting cotton products that exceed domestic demand, food and facilities could be imported as export price.
As a result, the China’s cotton textile industry has become a leading export industry. It contributed to economic growth by acquiring foreign currency through the export of cotton products and helping to solve the problem of foreign currency shortage in the early stages of economic development.
Compared to the case of Korea, Korea and China showed different patterns in the external trade of raw cotton and cotton products, but their roles in the economy were similar.
In conclusion, the China’s cotton textile industry increased production by importing raw cotton, which was insufficient through external transactions, and it can be said that it contributed to the development of the cotton textile industry and the development of the Chinese economy by exporting cotton products.
