Creación de reglas secundarias por la Corte Internacional de Justicia: Un estudio del “caso relativo a las actividades militares y paramilitares en Nicaragua y contra Nicaragua”
Authors: Idárraga Martínez Ana María
Published: December 2019

This essay addresses the issue regarding the law making by the International Court of Justice in its contentious function. This problem is addressed from the analysis of the case concerning military and paramilitary activities in and against Nicaragua. In particular, the essay analyses the determination of the effective control standard for the attribution of responsibility for acts of a person or group of persons, and the relevance of the so-called secondary rules in international law. Through a doctrinal and jurisprudential study, the author demonstrates the important role of secondary rules in international law, and therefore, the implications on domestic law of the law of the fact that secondary rules are created principally by international tribunals.

Financial Reporting Standards Legal nature and rules for their interpretation in Colombia
Authors: Agreda Moreno Enrique Jorge
Published: December 2019

Financial Reporting Standards (FRS) are generally analyzed from the accounting, economic and financial perspective; this paper seeks to contribute to their understanding from the legal perspective. The objectives hereof are, first, to establish the legal nature of Act 1314 of 2009 from the theory of law, taking into account that decrees incorporate into the legal system the International Accounting Standards (IAS) and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) an approximation to its structure, in addition, to making explicit rules for interpretation applicable in Colombia. The second objective is to analyze in a simple random sample of concepts issued by the Consejo Técnico de la Contaduría Pública (CTCP per its acronym in Spanish-Technical Council of Public Accounts-), during the period 2013-2018, whether the rules of interpretation have been considered, to identify if there are normative gaps, conflict among rules or between rules and principles. The results allowed us to infer that: (a) the grammatical method prevails, (b) there are few cases formulated by absence or normative conflict, and (c) the presence of a principled model is not yet perceived by the structure of queries and concepts.

Introduction: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common bacterial infections in childhood and causes acute and chronic morbidity and long-term hypertension and chronic kidney disease.

Objectives: To describe the demographic characteristics, infectious agents, patterns of antibiotic resistance, etiologic agent and profile of susceptibility and response to empirical treatment of UTI in a pediatric population.
Methods: This is a descriptive, retrospective study.
Results: Included in the study were 144 patients, 1:2.06 male to female ratio. The most common symptom was fever (79.9%) and 31.3% had a history of previous UTI. 72.0% of the patients had positive urine leukocyte count (>5 per field), urine gram was positive in 85.0% of samples and gram negative bacilli accounted for 77.8% for the total pathogens isolated. The most frequent uropathogens isolated were Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Our E.coli isolates had a susceptibility rate higher than 90% to most of the antibiotics used, but a resistance rate of 42.6% to TMP SMX and 45.5% to ampicillin sulbactam. 6.3% of E. coliwas extended-spectrum beta-lactamases producer strains. The most frequent empirical antibiotic used was amikacin, which was used in 66.0% of the patients. 17 of 90 patients who underwent voiding cistouretrography (VCUG) had vesicoureteral reflux.
Conclusion: This study revealed that E. coli was the most frequent pathogen of community acquired UTI. We found that E. coli and other uropathogens had a high resistance rate against TMP SMX and ampicillin sulbactam. In order to ensure a successful empirical treatment, protocols should be based on local epidemiology and susceptibility rates.
Reduction of maternal mortality due to preeclampsia in Colombia-an interrupted time-series analysis
Authors: Herrera Julian Alberto , Herrera-Miranda Rodolfo , Herrera-Escobar Juan Pablo , Nieto-Díaz Aníbal
Published: December 2019

Introduction.  Preeclampsia is the most important cause of maternal mortality in developing countries. A comprehensive prenatal care program including bio-psychosocial components was developed and introduced at a national level in Colombia. We report on the trends in maternal mortality rates and their related causes before and after implementation of this program. Methods: General and specific maternal mortality rates were monitored for nine years (1998-2006). An interrupted time-series analysis was performed with monthly data on cases of maternal mortality that compared trends and changes in national mortality rates and the impact of these changes attributable to the introduction of a bio-psychosocial model. Multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate correlations between the interventions. Results: Five years after (2002–2006) its introduction the general maternal mortality rate was significantly reduced to 23% (OR= 0.77, CI 95% 0.71-0.82).The implementation of BPSM also reduced the incidence of preeclampsia in 22%  (OR= 0.78, CI 95% 0.67-0.88), as also the labor complications by hemorrhage in 25%  (OR= 0.75, CI 95% 0.59-0.90) associated with the implementation of red code. The other causes of maternal mortality did not reveal significant changes. Biomedical, nutritional, psychosocial assessments, and other individual interventions in prenatal care were not correlated to maternal mortality (p= 0.112); however, together as a model we observed a significant association (p= 0.042). Conclusions: General maternal mortality was reduced after the implementation of a comprehensive national prenatal care program. Is important the evaluation of this program in others populations.

Structure-Photochemical Function Relationships in Nitrogen-Containing Heterocyclic Aromatic Photobases Derived from Quinoline
Authors: Alamudun Sophya , Tanovitz Kyle , Fajardo April , Johnson Kaitlind , Pham Andy , Araghi Tina Jamshidi , Petit Andrew
Published: December 2019

Photobases are compounds which become strong bases after electronic excitaton into a charge-transfer excited state. Recent experimental studies have highlighted the photobasicity of the 5-R quinoline compounds, demonstrating a strong substituent dependence to the pKa*. Here we describe our systematic study of how the photobasicity of four families of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic aromatics are tuned through substituents. We show that substituent position and identity both significantly impact the pKa*. We demonstrate that the substituent effects are additive and identify many disubstituted compounds with substantially greater photobasicity than the most photobasic 5-R quinoline compound identified previously. We show that the addition of a second fused benzene ring to quinoline, along with two electron-donating substituents, lowers the vertical excitation energy into the visible while still maintaining a pKa* > 14. Overall, the structure-function relationships developed in this study provide new insights to guide the development of new photocatalysts that employ photobasicity.

METHODOLOGY OF MODELING COGNITIVE PROCESSES OF THE INDIVIDUAL’S SPEAKING-AND-THINKING AND THINKING-AND-ACTING MECHANISMS
Authors: Клименюк А. В. , Калита А. А.
Published: December 2019

The paper advances methodology of modeling cognitive processes of speaking-and-thinking and thinking-andacting mechanisms. The methodology is substantiated with the application of theoretical apparatus of a series of psychological, linguistic and social sciences using a systematic approach as well as a modern synergetic doctrine of the chaos theory. The basis of the authors’ methodological reflection is shaped by the results of the following scientific assumptions of the new speech energetics theory: a theoretical principle of preserving the utterance emotional-and-pragmatic potential, the dimensionless quantitative K-criterion of defining the level of emotionaland-pragmatic potential of any speech segment, the global pyramid model of the spheres of the individual’s spiritual being that allows performing both qualitative and quantitative research of any cognitive phenomena, processes or events related to human thinking and speaking activities. The paper also outlines the main stipulations, rules, and requirements for modeling cognitive processes on the plane of the individual’s spiritual being differentiated into the spheres of existence, mentality, transcendence and consciousness. It is emphasized that the flow of cognitive processes in the existential sphere of the individual’s spiritual being is based on his/her emotional (unconscious) thinking; the mental sphere, which forms together with the transcendental sphere a psychic level of the pre-conscious, is characterized by emotional thinking; in the transcendental sphere the acts of cognition are realized by means of rational thinking, while the consciousness monitors the results of cognitive processes’ self-development on a logical basis solely. The paper demonstrates a high efficiency of using the model as a methodological tool for the interdisciplinary retrospective obtaining of new knowledge in such sciences as cognitive studies, ecolinguistics, psychology, philosophy, sociology, psychiatry, history, economics, political science, literary studies, ethnology, etc.
PAREMEOLOGICAL WORLD VIEW OF ITALIAN SPEAKERS
Authors: Гольцева М. І.
Published: December 2019

In the proposed research, the analysis of paremiological picture of the world of Italian language is performed; the notions of “picture of the world”, “linguistic picture of the world”, “paremiological picture of the world” are analyzed; the connection between the linguistic and paremiological picture of the world is distinguished; the frequency of using mythological proverbs with the proper name is set. According to the conducted research, it is possible to distinguish the following notions : 1) picture of the world is the way people see this world, how they communicate with each other, etc.; 2) linguistic picture of the world deals with the linguistic approach in seeing the world, how with the help of words people express their feelings towards different things; 3) paremiological picture of the world deals with proverbs and sayings, with the help of which people show their attitude to different things. As a result, it is possible to notice that this research of proper names in Italian proverbs in the paremiological picture of the world promotes reconstruction of one of important components of a national language picture of the world which is a cultural sphere of any language. We have distinguished that proverbs and sayings with the proper name are mythological, religious, historical, literal, toponymic, from various spheres of social and individual activity of native speakers. As a result, in the studied proverbs and sayings the features connected with mythology come to the first place among the rest of them. Never before have the scientists studied proper names in the light of meaning and form. While investigating proverbs with proper names it is possible to notice the link between ancient myths and modern mass media where we have found the majority of our examples during the research. And it is noticed that the majority of analyzed proverbs in mass media have examples in political and economic articles. From the studied proverbs and sayings we can make the conclusion that it is a vital source of national and cultural wisdom that is worth analyzing.

Co-Becoming with Diatoms
Authors: Lykke Nina
Published: December 2019

The article is an autophenomenographic-poetic, eco-critical meditation on diatoms. It combines a reflection on the role of this algae species in the author’s posthuman modes of mourning her passed away lesbian life partner, with a discussion of philosopher Isabelle Stengers’s notion of wonder in materialist science, defined as open-ended approaches to unexpected diversity. Diatoms are single-celled aquatic algae, a kind of phytoplankton, which, due to their ability to photosynthesize, have been categorized as plantlike. However, in 2011, it was discovered that diatoms have an animal-like urea cycle, assumed to provide robustness in times of nutrient scarcity, but also making diatoms resist categorizations as either plant- or animal-like. Taking the author’s entangled commitments to human–diatom relations and this unexpected discovery as entrance point to reflect on wonder in technoscience, the article discusses ways of shifting from instrumentalizing to wonder-based algae research, asking if speculative art and poetry can open new horizons, interpellating pathways to ethically care for diatoms. The article introduces two poems, articulating the author’s relations to the diatoms of Limfjorden, the Danish fjord, where her partner’s ashes are spread. The author’s autophenomenographic-poetic work is also brought in conversation with feminist technoscience scholar Astrid Schrader’s critical research on utilitarian instrumentalism in current harmful algal blooms (HABs) research.
Productivity and Efficiency Analysis of Pakistani Textile Industry using Malmquist Productivity Index Approach
Authors: Naz Farah , Khan Hafsa , Sayyed Madeeha
Published: December 2019

The key purpose of this study is to evaluate the total factor productivity of the textile sector by using DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) and also identifying the components which play a significant role in the growth of productivity. This paper examines productivity performance of the Pakistan’s textile manufacturing industry using firm-level panel data of a total of 64 firms for the period 2011-2015. Moreover, the sources of expansion and compression in output are recognized for the whole textile industry as well as for the three sub sectors comprising of 35 firms from spinning, 21 from composite and 8 from weaving textile sector. Empirical results suggest that total factor productivity growth of composite, spinning and weaving textile sectors are not presenting skewed distribution. Moreover, the component of technological change had a negative impact on spinning textile sector. Technical efficiency and technological change, both, had a positive impact on the productivity of composite and weaving textile sectors. Overall, the spinning textile sector has no contribution in the productivity growth. A critical evaluation of the production factors is necessary for the maintenance of the performance of the organization. This paper provides information to the decision makers and policy makers about the allocation, acquisition and anticipation of the resources. To eradicate the industry’s pitfalls, textile sector in combination of subsectors has been selected providing a comparative analysis of the efficiencies adding to the existing body of literature by detecting the primary zones for improving productivity performance in Pakistani textile manufacturing as the pure efficiency component.
LIGHT and DARK
Authors: Martinek Svitlana
Published: December 2019

Cognitive Linguistics, which primarily deals
with the conceptual structures of human mind via their language
manifestation, opens new prospects in studying binary oppositions. Despite
numerous researches of this phenomenon, lots of questions raised here do not
have exhaustive answers. What we need is not only inquiry oriented toward
ascertainment of the universality (or the degree of universality) of some
binary oppositions, but studies of their system in a certain linguaculture
within a given time period. The precise study of interrelations among various
symbolic domains in this sphere is another important problem. Furthermore,
binary oppositions should not be seen as stable and unchangeable structures
presented within human consciousness but they must be regarded as the
external manifestation of specific cognitive mechanisms.
This paper presents an empirical
investigation of the binary opposition light-dark
based on the method of an associative experiment. The analysis of the
responses clearly reveals binary oppositions which are deep-rooted in the
speakers’ consciousness and which closely interact. These oppositions build a
rich background for the metaphorical interchange between corresponding
domains which create a whole system where the correlating parts are used for
the metaphoric designation of each other. The main focus of this study is the
interaction of cognitive mechanisms of contradistinction with conceptual
metaphor and further analysis of the result of this process in a language.
Light as a visual source domain for the divine in the 17th century painting
Authors: Čulig Janja
Published: December 2019

The aim of this paper is to explain the motivation behind the creation of religious visual art in which light plays the role of the signifier of divine presence. We will endeavor to show that representations of light in paintings from a particular socio-cultural period and context are based on metaphorization. The meaning that arises from this metaphorization establishes a connection between depicted light and the basic conceptual metaphor KNOWING IS SEEING. Our aim is to show that the understanding of these kinds of representations by the viewer as the presence of the divine is based on the fundamental human capacity to conceptualize abstract notions through concrete ones. We propose that a visual representation of light would not be completely understandable if the viewer did not possess an inherent knowledge of basic conceptual metaphors of light. The visual material selected for this article comprises samples of 17th century religious paintings of the Western artistic tradition, in which light serves as the primary carrier of divine meaning and the central element of the composition. Our proposition is based on the conjoining of two disciplines into an interdisciplinary approach to analyzing paintings from the Baroque period. The selected theoretical framework includes Conceptual Metaphor Theory and the conceptualization of abstract notions (Lakoff & Johnson 1980; Gibbs 1994, 2008; Kövecses 2005; Forceville & Urios-Aparisi 2009; Sharifian 2011; Raffaelli 2012; Forceville 2017), as well as art-historical insights into the utilization of pictorial elements of light in the formal visual language of the Baroque (Haskell 1963; Lambert 2007; Toman 2007; Cvetnić 2007). The significance of this kind of research lies in the prospects of interdisciplinary approaches to concepts in general. This combination of scientific perspectives could enable us to approach the concept of light from a wider perspective, which could lead to a deeper understanding of the concept, its use in human communication, and its significance for the structuring of the knowledge of the world by an individual, but also by the wider socio-cultural collective to which they belong.
Figurative representation of death in the Italian comic book Dylan Dog
Authors: Škrgić Ilhana
Published: December 2019

The canonical representation of death as the Grim
Reaper is a well-known trope in art. The main aim of this paper is to analyze
this trope as it appears in selected instalments of the Italian comics series Dylan Dog. Fauconnier and Turner have
extensively discussed its complexity by describing it in terms of the Blending
Theory/Conceptual Theory model. As a complex integration of several mental spaces, including a
space with an individual human being dying, and a harvest space, the Grim
Reaper blend involves metaphoric and metonymic interactions of non-counterpart
elements (Fauconnier & Turner 1998). This model will be used as a starting point in the
analysis of the corpus consisting of four separate Dylan Dog stories. In the selected issues, the Grim Reaper appears
in both the traditional version: a skeleton-like creature dressed in a monk’s
robe and holding a scythe, as well as variants in which its appearance gains
new and unusual characteristics. It will be demonstrated how the artists' use of the comics medium,
with its combination of written text and
static visuals, enables certain creative varieties
on the classic trope.
An Analysis on Understanding of the Relationship between Perimeter and Area of the Quadrilateral :Focused on 6th Graders
Authors:   The Korea Society Of Educational Studies In Mathematics, Park Haemin , Chang Hyewon
Published: December 2019

This study focused on analyzing the understanding of relationship between perimeter and area of the quadrilateral by 97 sixth grade students that learned perimeters and areas of polygons. To do this, a paper and pencil test consisting of four questions that contain the relationship between perimeter and area was conducted. The results for this study were analyzed by frameworks. As per the results, students had errors about the concept of the relationship between perimeters and areas in quadrilaterals. The levels of the students’ justification mainly correspond to the experiential, comprehensive, and deductive ones. The types of students’ errors were classified as the errors of [same A-same B] or [increase A-increase B] between perimeter and area of the quadrilateral, hasty generalization, visual judgment, and illogical development. Based on the results of the analysis, some significant implications for the teaching of relationship between perimeter and area in school education field were derived.
Second Grade Elementary School Students’ Understanding of Time and Elapsed Time
Authors:   The Korea Society Of Educational Studies In Mathematics, Kwon Misun
Published: December 2019

Time and elapsed time are concepts that are applicable in everyday life and thus directly affect students' lives. This is because students study the concepts in the lower grades of elementary school. Unlike other aspects of measurement, time is characterized by continuous flow and it uses a number system that is unfamiliar to students such as base-12 and 60 system. With such specificity, lower grade students may have difficulty in understanding time and elapsed time. In this respect, this study analyzed the concepts of time and elapsed time in the 2015 revised mathematics curriculum and textbooks and examined 108 second-grade elementary school students' responses. The results show that students are struggling to grasp these concepts. To be specific, many students had difficulty recognizing the movement of the minute and the hour hand over time. Moreover, they also had difficulty finding the elapsed time using the time band. This study provides guidance on how to teach time and elapsed time when learning occurs in the classroom.

Published: December 2019

This study is aimed to find out mortality and morbidity in the elective patients while waiting and description of waiting time in elective patients at The Department of cardiovascular surgery, Harapan Kita Hospital. This study research was using quantitative and qualitative design study. The quantitative data collected prospectively within two months from August until September 2010. From 58 patients, one patient died while waiting and one patient falls into stroke. There’s no adequate system in scheduling patient, including put the patient into the list of que, decide the urgency and remove the patients from the list. It’s known that morbidity and mortality are not found as a significant event happened while waiting for CABG in this study. It’s difficult to ignore the two patients, especially after knowing there’s no adequate system to decide wait time and schedule at The Department of cardiovascular surgery, Harapan Kita Hospital, while resources are still quite enough (facility and human resources) to accommodate all the cases.
Influence of Dietary Vitamin A and Iron Deficiency on Hematologic Parameters and Body Weight of Young Male Wistar Rats
Authors: Restrepo-Gallego Mauricio , Díaz Luis E
Published: December 2019

Micronutrient deficiency is one of the most prominent public health concerns; in particular, vitamin A and iron are determinants of appropriate development, and vitamin A influences iron homeostasis and metabolism. Here we compared the effects of diets that were sufficient and insufficient
in vitamin A and iron on the hematologic parameters and body weight of rats. Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 dietary groups (n = 7 per group): adequate in iron and vitamin A (control); adequate in iron but low in vitamin A (FesvAi); adequate in iron but lacking vitamin
A (FesvAd); low in iron but adequate in vitamin A (FeivAs); and low in both iron and vitamin A (FeivAi). After 6 wk, rats showed significant differences in serum iron relative to the control diet (control, 256 ± 44 μg/dL; FesvAi, 220± 16 μg/dL; FesvAd, 181 ± 15 μg/dL;
FeivAs, 131 ± 44 μg/dL; FeivAi, 75 ± 19 μg/dL). Rats on iron-deficient diets showed reduced Hgb values relative to the control diet (control, 15.9 ± 0.7 g/dL; FeivAs, 13.2 ± 1.6 g/dL; FeivAi, 12.9 ± 1.0 g/dL), MCV (control: 57 ± 10 fL; FeivAs,
48 ± 10 fL; FeivAi, 44 ± 3 fL), and Hct (control, 53% ± 2%; FeivAs, 44% ± 5%; FeivAi, 42% ± 8%). All of the experimental dietary groups showed significant differences in reticulocyte count when compared with the control group (control, 2.7% ± 2.2%;
FesvAd, 0.6% ± 0.2%; FesvAi, 0.3% ± 0.1%; FeivAs, 1.2% ± 0.2%; FeivAi, 0.6% ± 0.5%). The mean difference in body weight for the experimental groups, relative to the control group, was 30 ± 10 g. These results suggested that, in young male Wistar rats, both
iron and vitamin A are essential to cause increases in body weight and various hematologic parameters.
Herniorrafia hiatal y fundoplicatura laparoscópica de Toupet en un paciente con esófago corto
Authors: Manrique-Mendoza Alexis R. , González-Muñoz Alejandro , Reyes Óscar , González Johan R.
Published: December 2019

El esófago corto es una complicación infrecuente del reflujo gastroesofágico, polémico para algunos autores. Su diagnóstico se hace de manera intraoperatoria, ante la imposibilidad de conservar un esofago intrabdominal mayor a tres centímetros desde el hiato diafragmático. Algunos expertos niegan la existencia de esta entidad, argumentando que se debe a una mala disección del esófago.

En este artículo, se presenta el caso de un paciente sometido a herniorrafia hiatal con colocación de malla, con gran dificultad para conservar una adecuada longitud del esófago abdominal, y que no requirió gastroplastia.

Hidden Markov Model: Tutorial
Authors: Ghojogh Benyamin , Karray Fakhri , Crowley Mark
Published: December 2019

This is a tutorial paper for Hidden Markov Model (HMM). First, we briefly review the background on Expectation Maximization (EM), Lagrange multiplier, factor graph, the sum-product algorithm, the max-product algorithm, and belief propagation by the forward-backward procedure. Then, we introduce probabilistic graphical models including Markov random field and Bayesian network. Markov property and Discrete Time Markov Chain (DTMC) are also introduced. We, then, explain likelihood estimation and EM in HMM in technical details. We explain evaluation in HMM where direct calculation and the forward-backward belief propagation are both explained. Afterwards, estimation in HMM is covered where both the greedy approach and the Viterbi algorithm are detailed. Then, we explain how to train HMM using EM and the Baum-Welch algorithm. We also explain how to use HMM in some applications such as speech and action recognition.

Mental Time-Travel, Semantic Flexibility, and A.I. Ethics
Authors: Arvan Marcus
Published: December 2019

This article argues that existing approaches to programming ethical AI fail to resolve a serious moral-semantic trilemma, generating interpretations of ethical requirements that are either too semantically strict, too semantically flexible, or overly unpredictable. This paper then illustrates the trilemma utilizing a recently proposed 'general ethical dilemma analyzer', GenEth. Finally, it uses empirical evidence to argue that human beings resolve the semantic trilemma using general cognitive and motivational processes involving ‘mental time-travel’, whereby we simulate different possible pasts and futures. I demonstrate how mental time-travel psychology leads us to resolve the semantic trilemma through a six-step process of interpersonal negotiation and renegotiation, and then conclude by showing how comparative advantages in processing power would plausibly cause AI to use similar processes to solve the semantic trilemma more reliably than we do, leading AI to make better moral semantic choices than humans do by our very own lights.
O autobiografskim zapisima Antuna Hrvatina, Ivana Aničića i Katarine Šćuka-Kukec iz fondova Državnog arhiva u Pazinu
Authors: Grdinić Iva , Mrkonjić Jasna
Published: December 2019

Ovaj smo rad pripremile kako bi poslužio kao uvodni tekst tri članka koja slijede u ovom broju Vjesnika istarskog arhiva, a naslova su: »Rodjen sam u Kašćergi…. Autobiografsko kroničarski zapis Antuna Hrvatina (1875. – 1913.)«, »Pisma Ivana Aničića (Zlovečere) Antunu Flegi (1910. – 1913.)« i »Righe na duši pravom arhivu«. U ta su tri članka pored uvodnih objašnjena uvršteni prijepisi autobiografsko-kroničarskih zapisa te preslici fotografija, tiskovina i fragmenata nastalih mahom u prva dva desetljeća 20. stoljeća i pohranjenih u dva osobna fonda (HR-DAPA-904 Antun Hrvatin: 1905/1937 [1945/1946] i HRDAPA- 925 Katarina Šćuka Kukec: 1905/1989) i Zbirci pisama DAPA (HR-DAPA-899/7 Zbirka Pisama (1824/1913). Pisma Ivana Aničića Antunu Flegi (1910/1913)). Riječ je o ostavštinama Antuna Flege i Katarine Šćuka-Kukec, koji su ih osobno predali u pohranu ondašnjem Historijskom arhivu u Pazinu, odnosno DAPA, te o pisanoj ostavštini Antuna Hrvatina koju su mu unuci kao nasljedstvo predali Historijskom arhivu u Pazinu. Nakon uvoda se u radu objašnjava zajednički kontekst navedenog gradiva s obzirom na različite stvaratelje te značaj tih primopredaja i u arhivskom i u osobnom kontekstu. Sve tri biografski kontekstualizirane primopredaje jasno pokazuju kako je DAPA u slučajevima preuzimanja takvih ostavština »malih ljudi« preuzeo ne samo dužnosti skrbnika njihove materijalne ostavštine, nego je zadobio i povjerenje takvih stvaratelja ili njihovih nasljednika kao pouzdan čuvar i posrednik osobnih životnih priča.
