Detecting Walking Challenges in Gait Patterns Using a Capacitive Sensor Floor and Recurrent Neural Networks
Authors: Hoffmann Raoul , Brodowski Hanna , Steinhage Axel , Grzegorzek Marcin
Published: February 2021

Gait patterns are a result of the complex kinematics that enable human two-legged locomotion, and they can reveal a lot about a person’s state and health. Analysing them is useful for researchers to get new insights into the course of diseases, and for physicians to track the progress after healing from injuries. When a person walks and is interfered with in any way, the resulting disturbance can show up and be found in the gait patterns. This paper describes an experimental setup for capturing gait patterns with a capacitive sensor floor, which can detect the time and position of foot contacts on the floor. With this setup, a dataset was recorded where 42 participants walked over a sensor floor in different modes, inter alia, normal pace, closed eyes, and dual-task. A recurrent neural network based on Long Short-Term Memory units was trained and evaluated for the classification task of recognising the walking mode solely from the floor sensor data. Furthermore, participants were asked to do the Unilateral Heel-Rise Test, and their gait was recorded before and after doing the test. Another neural network instance was trained to predict the number of repetitions participants were able to do on the test. As the results of the classification tasks turned out to be promising, the combination of this sensor floor and the recurrent neural network architecture seems like a good system for further investigation leading to applications in health and care.
Acoustic Emission Signal Entropy as a Means to Estimate Loads in Fiber Reinforced Polymer Rods
Authors: Shateri Mohammadhadi , Ghaib Maha , Svecova Dagmar , Thomson Douglas
Published: February 2021

Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) rods are widely used as corrosion-resistant reinforcing in civil structures. However, developing a method to determine the loads on in-service FRP rods remains a challenge. In this study, the entropy of acoustic emission (AE) emanating from FRP rods is used to estimate the applied loads. As loads increased, the fraction of AE hits with higher entropy also increased. High entropy AE hits are defined using the one-sided Chebyshev’s inequality with parameter k = 2 where the histogram of AE entropy up to 10–15% of ultimate load was used as a baseline. According to the one-sided Chebyshev’s inequality, when more than 20% (k = 2) of AE hits that fall further than two standard deviations away from the mean are classified as high entropy events, a new distribution of high entropy AE hits is assumed to exist. We have found that the fraction of high AE hits. In glass FRP and carbon FRP rods, a high entropy AE hit fraction of 20% was exceeded at approximately 40% and 50% of the ultimate load, respectively. This work demonstrates that monitoring high entropy AE hits may provide a useful means to estimate the loads on FRP rods.
Textronic UHF RFID Transponder

Published: February 2021

In order to respond the growing interest towards radio frequency identification textile transponders, the authors propose a new approach to design radio frequency identification (RFID) devices by introducing the RFIDtex concept. The coupling system of inductive loops is implemented in the textronic structure with the RFID interface in order to split the transponder into two independently manufactured components. Then both modules can be easily integrated into the RFIDtex tag. The presented simulation and measurement results prove the concept of manufacturing a relatively small antenna in the form of a meandered dipole sewn in with a single thread, and further, that can be connected to the RFID chip through the coupling system without galvanic junctions. The achieved parameters clearly indicate that the tag can correctly communicate with the read/write device as well as the coupling between its both parts works properly, and the impedance matching is possible in this case. The possibility of confectioning products with electronic identification tags at the textile factory site and improved resistance to the impact of environmental conditions are the main advantage of the proposed approach to the RFID devices designing. The RFIDtex transponder idea proposed by the authors was restricted in the patent no PL 231291 B1.

Published: February 2021

This paper presents an analytical model to determine a closed form mathematical representation for the output displacement of a displacement amplification compliant mechanism used for energy harvesting. A symmetric five-bar compliant mechanism with right-circular and corner-filleted flexure hinges was mathematically modeled and its displacement was determined using the Castigliano energy theorem. The stresses within the flexure joints, the weakest points in the mechanism body, were calculated. The mathematical model expresses both the displacement amplification and the stresses as functions of the design parameters and the load caused by the harvester. The developed model can be used to optimize the mechanism dimensions for maximum harvested power, while minimizing its structural stresses. The mechanism was also modeled numerically using finite element methods; both the analytical and numerical models were verified experimentally. The mathematical model of the mechanism was integrated with a model representing a piezoelectric energy harvester to calculate the open-circuit voltage. As a proof of concept, experiments were performed using an unimorph piezoelectric cantilever at low-frequency (less than 1 Hz) harmonic excitation inputs. The measured open-circuit voltage was found to be in agreement with that calculated using the proposed model, when integrated with the model representing the piezoelectric beam. The power generated by the piezoelectric harvester, equipped with the proposed displacement amplification mechanism, was more than a hundred times that without amplification.
STAC: Spatial-Temporal Attention on Compensation Information for Activity Recognition in FPV
Authors: Zhang Yue , Sun Shengli , Lei Linjian , Liu Huikai , Xie Hui
Published: February 2021

Egocentric activity recognition in first-person video (FPV) requires fine-grained matching of the camera wearer’s action and the objects being operated. The traditional method used for third-person action recognition does not suffice because of (1) the background ego-noise introduced by the unstructured movement of the wearable devices caused by body movement; (2) the small-sized and fine-grained objects with single scale in FPV. Size compensation is performed to augment the data. It generates a multi-scale set of regions, including multi-size objects, leading to superior performance. We compensate for the optical flow to eliminate the camera noise in motion. We developed a novel two-stream convolutional neural network-recurrent attention neural network (CNN-RAN) architecture: spatial temporal attention on compensation information (STAC), able to generate generic descriptors under weak supervision and focus on the locations of activated objects and the capture of effective motion. We encode the RGB features using a spatial location-aware attention mechanism to guide the representation of visual features. Similar location-aware channel attention is applied to the temporal stream in the form of stacked optical flow to implicitly select the relevant frames and pay attention to where the action occurs. The two streams are complementary since one is object-centric and the other focuses on the motion. We conducted extensive ablation analysis to validate the complementarity and effectiveness of our STAC model qualitatively and quantitatively. It achieved state-of-the-art performance on two egocentric datasets.
Automatic Annotation of Change Detection Images
Authors: Neptune Nathalie , Mothe Josiane
Published: February 2021

Earth observation satellites have been capturing a variety of data about our planet for several decades, making many environmental applications possible such as change detection. Recently, deep learning methods have been proposed for urban change detection. However, there has been limited work done on the application of such methods to the annotation of unlabeled images in the case of change detection in forests. This annotation task consists of predicting semantic labels for a given image of a forested area where change has been detected. Currently proposed methods typically do not provide other semantic information beyond the change that is detected. To address these limitations we first demonstrate that deep learning methods can be effectively used to detect changes in a forested area with a pair of pre and post-change satellite images. We show that by using visual semantic embeddings we can automatically annotate the change images with labels extracted from scientific documents related to the study area. We investigated the effect of different corpora and found that best performances in the annotation prediction task are reached with a corpus that is related to the type of change of interest and is of medium size (over ten thousand documents).
An Attention-Enhanced Multi-Scale and Dual Sign Language Recognition Network Based on a Graph Convolution Network
Authors: Meng Lu , Li Ronghui
Published: February 2021

Sign language is the most important way of communication for hearing-impaired people. Research on sign language recognition can help normal people understand sign language. We reviewed the classic methods of sign language recognition, and the recognition accuracy is not high enough because of redundant information, human finger occlusion, motion blurring, the diversified signing styles of different people, and so on. To overcome these shortcomings, we propose a multi-scale and dual sign language recognition Network (SLR-Net) based on a graph convolutional network (GCN). The original input data was RGB videos. We first extracted the skeleton data from them and then used the skeleton data for sign language recognition. SLR-Net is mainly composed of three sub-modules: multi-scale attention network (MSA), multi-scale spatiotemporal attention network (MSSTA) and attention enhanced temporal convolution network (ATCN). MSA allows the GCN to learn the dependencies between long-distance vertices; MSSTA can directly learn the spatiotemporal features; ATCN allows the GCN network to better learn the long temporal dependencies. The three different attention mechanisms, multi-scale attention mechanism, spatiotemporal attention mechanism, and temporal attention mechanism, are proposed to further improve the robustness and accuracy. Besides, a keyframe extraction algorithm is proposed, which can greatly improve efficiency by sacrificing a little accuracy. Experimental results showed that our method can reach 98.08% accuracy rate in the CSL-500 dataset with a 500-word vocabulary. Even on the challenging dataset DEVISIGN-L with a 2000-word vocabulary, it also reached a 64.57% accuracy rate, outperforming other state-of-the-art sign language recognition methods.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Customer End of Retail Supply Chains: A Big Data Analysis of Consumer Satisfaction
Authors: Brandtner Patrick , Darbanian Farzaneh , Falatouri Taha , Udokwu Chibuzor
Published: January 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has been one of the biggest disruptive events of recent decades and has had a global effect on society and the economy. The political regulations resulting from COVID-19 also led to significant changes in physical grocery shopping. However, the specific impact of COVID-19 on consumer satisfaction at the customer end of retail supply chains, i.e., the point-of-sale (PoS), has not yet been addressed. By gathering and analyzing consumer satisfaction data (ratings) and sentiments (evaluation comments) available on the open web, the current study evaluates the impact of COVID-19 on consumer satisfaction at the PoS. Focusing on the five biggest retail chains in Austria, the results show that there was a general and significant decline in consumer satisfaction due to the pandemic. The results also show a high impact of political regulations on consumer satisfaction. Furthermore, the text-mining based analysis of evaluation comments indicate that store layout and facilities, as well as product availability and waiting time had a great impact on consumer satisfaction. In total, over 533,000 consumer satisfaction ratings and over 153,000 textual comments have been analyzed, providing the basis for a comprehensive and sound discussion of the impact of COVID-19 on consumer satisfaction and perceptions. Future research could focus on applying the used data analysis technique and the adapted consumer sentiment dimensions in different settings, such as countries other than Austria or smaller retail chains.
History, Knowledge, and Sustainable Economic Development: The Contribution of John Stuart Mill’s Grand Stage Theory
Authors: Meramveliotakis Giorgos , Manioudis Manolis
Published: January 2021

The aim of this paper is to sketch out the idea for a grand theory in development studies as the necessary research field for fruitful historical interdisciplinary, arguing that Mill’s stage theory provides such a powerful theoretical framework able to contextualize, develop, and integrate the multiple, diverse, and middle-range contemporary strands in development studies. Second, an attempt is made to reconstitute Mill’s stages theory of economic development placing it at the center of his political economy. We claim that Mill’s theory of economic development implies that the dialectical relation between knowledge/innovation (human capital) and nature (natural capital) accelerates the course of economic change. In Mill’s analysis, the dialectical relation between knowledge and nature penetrates through culture, which is regarded by Mill as a structural element of each stage of economic development. By highlighting the importance of knowledge in the transition between different stages of economic development, and by proposing a reassessed interpretation of Mill’s stages theory of economic development, we propose that in Mill’s political economy both innovation and nature play a pivotal role in accessing sustainable economic development.
Ebulin l Is Internalized in Cells by Both Clathrin-Dependent and -Independent Mechanisms and Does Not Require Clathrin or Dynamin for Intoxication
Authors: Iglesias Rosario , Ferreras José M. , Llorente Alicia , Citores Lucía
Published: January 2021

Ebulin l is an A-B toxin, and despite the presence of a B chain, this toxin displays much less toxicity to cells than the potent A-B toxin ricin. Here, we studied the binding, mechanisms of endocytosis, and intracellular pathway followed by ebulin l and compared it with ricin. COS-1 cells and HeLa cells with inducible synthesis of a mutant dynamin (K44A) were used in this study. The transport of these toxins was measured using radioactively or fluorescently labeled toxins. The data show that ebulin l binds to cells to a lesser extent than ricin. Moreover, the expression of mutant dynamin does not affect the endocytosis, degradation, or toxicity of ebulin l. However, the inhibition of clathrin-coated pit formation by acidification of the cytosol reduced ebulin l endocytosis but not toxicity. Remarkably, unlike ricin, ebulin l is not transported through the Golgi apparatus to intoxicate the cells and ebulin l induces apoptosis as the predominant cell death mechanism. Therefore, after binding to cells, ebulin l is taken up by clathrin-dependent and -independent endocytosis into the endosomal/lysosomal system, but there is no apparent role for clathrin and dynamin in productive intracellular routing leading to intoxication.

Published: January 2021

Maternal-derived immunity is a critical component for the survival and success of offspring in pigs to protect from circulating pathogens such as Type 2 Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV-2). The purpose of this study is to investigate the transfer of anti-PRRSV immunity to piglets from gilts that received modified-live virus (MLV) alone (treatment (TRT) 0), or in combination with one of two autogenous inactivated vaccines (AIVs, TRT 1+2). Piglets from these gilts were challenged with the autogenous PRRSV-2 strain at two weeks of age and their adaptive immune response (IR) was evaluated until 4 weeks post inoculation (wpi). The systemic humoral and cellular IR was analyzed in the pre-farrow gilts, and in piglets, pre-inoculation, and at 2 and 4 wpi. Both AIVs partially protected the piglets with reduced lung pathology and increased weight gain; TRT 1 also lowered piglet viremia, best explained by the AIV-induced production of neutralizing antibodies in gilts and their transfer to the piglets. In piglets, pre-inoculation, the main systemic IFN-γ producers were CD21α+ B cells. From 0 to 4 wpi, the role of these B cells declined and CD4 T cells became the primary systemic IFN-γ producers. In the lungs, CD8 T cells were the primary and CD4 T cells were the secondary IFN-γ producers, including a novel subset of porcine CD8α−CCR7− CD4 T cells, potentially terminally differentiated CD4 TEMRA cells. In summary, this study demonstrates that maternal AIV vaccination can improve protection of pre-weaning piglets against PRRSV-2; it shows the importance of transferring neutralizing antibodies to piglets, and it introduces two novel immune cell subsets in pigs—IFN-γ producing CD21α+ B cells and CD8α−CCR7− CD4 T cells.

Published: February 2021

Background: Influenza vaccination (IV) and Pneumococcus vaccination (PV) are recommended for patients with cardiometabolic diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the immunization rate of ambulatory cardiometabolic patients during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Americas. Methods: Electronic surveys were collected from 13 Spanish speaking countries between 15 June and 15 July 2020. Results: 4216 patients were analyzed. Mean age 60 (±15) years and 49% females. Global IV rate was 46.5% and PV 24.6%. Vaccinated patients were older (IV = 63 vs. 58 years; PV = 68 vs. 59, p < 0.01) but without gender difference. Vaccination rates were greater in higher-risk groups (65+, diabetics, heart failure), but not in coronary artery disease patients. In the Southern cone, the rate of IV and PV was approximately double that in the tropical regions of the Americas. In a multivariate model, geographic zone (IV = OR 2.02, PV = OR 2.42, p < 0.001), age (IV = OR 1.023, PV = OR 1.035, p < 0.001), and incomes (IV = OR 1.28, PV = OR 1.58, p < 0.001) were predictors for vaccination. Conclusions: During the COVID-19 pandemic, ambulatory patients with cardiometabolic diseases from the Americas with no evidence of COVID-19 infection had lower-than-expected rates of IV and PV. Geographic, social, and cultural differences were found, and they should be explored in depth.
Antibody Focusing to Conserved Sites of Vulnerability: The Immunological Pathways for ‘Universal’ Influenza Vaccines
Authors: Sangesland Maya , Lingwood Daniel
Published: February 2021

Influenza virus remains a serious public health burden due to ongoing viral evolution. Vaccination remains the best measure of prophylaxis, yet current seasonal vaccines elicit strain-specific neutralizing responses that favor the hypervariable epitopes on the virus. This necessitates yearly reformulations of seasonal vaccines, which can be limited in efficacy and also shortchange pandemic preparedness. Universal vaccine development aims to overcome these deficits by redirecting antibody responses to functionally conserved sites of viral vulnerability to enable broad coverage. However, this is challenging as such antibodies are largely immunologically silent, both following vaccination and infection. Defining and then overcoming the immunological basis for such subdominant or ‘immuno-recessive’ antibody targeting has thus become an important aspect of universal vaccine development. This, coupled with structure-guided immunogen design, has led to proof-of-concept that it is possible to rationally refocus humoral immunity upon normally ‘unseen’ broadly neutralizing antibody targets on influenza virus.

ZERO VALUE OF FOREST RESOURCE
Authors: Rafailov Mikhail , Morkovin Vladimir
Published: January 2021

The article examines the current approaches in the domestic forestry economy to determine the price of forest resources. The analysis of the pricing system in the Russian Federation and a number of foreign multi-forest countries with similar climatic and forest conditions is presented.

The work reflects global trends and challenges that necessitate a revision of the pricing system for wood from forest plantations. Emphasis is laid on the main points of the Paris Agreement and the carbon tax, since these aspects are now becoming more and more relevant in the strategic planning of state forest management and industrial policy on the world stage.

An approach to assessing forest resources is proposed, taking into account new challenges in the socio-economic and environmental spheres.

A formula for the zero cost of a forest resource is given, which depends not only on the factors of the classical economic theory of supply and demand, but also on the factors of changes in the demand of future periods, the transformation of its conjuncture or a fundamental change up to extinction, tending to zero, as well as the social and environmental needs of the population for not raw materials and services of the forest ecosystem.

Authors: Popov E.
Published: January 2021

In a pandemic, the banking sector of the Russian Federation faced many economic problems. One of these challenges is customer acquisition and retention. In addition to the traditional "marketing mix", tools and methods of innovative marketing are becoming more widespread, which include neuromarketing and Internet marketing. Neuromarketing methods have shown their effectiveness on foreign platforms, therefore, considering their use in the financial sector of Russia is a new non-standard way to attract new customers and increase loyalty of old customers.

In this article, the author provides information on the methods of neuromarketing used, which include: electrical activity of the skin; monitoring the cardiovascular system; eye-tracking; functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); electroencephalography (EEG); electromyography (fEMG); analysis of human mimic reactions. Based on the well-known emotional triggers of a person (sight, smell, touch, hearing, taste), marketing tools are presented that are used in the banking sector of the Russian Federation.

The analysis of neuromarketing tools in the TOP-5 banks in terms of profit for 2020 was also carried out. Recommendations on the use of new tools are offered and conclusions are drawn about the situation with the use of neuromarketing in the Russian Federation.
PROTECTION OF THE NATIONAL LABOR MARKET
Authors: Vyzhimova Natal'ya , Pomykalova M.
Published: January 2021

This article examines one of the country's top priorities, such as protecting the national labor market. The modern labor market plays a unique role in the state of the Russian economy. The specificity of this phenomenon is expressed in the diversity of labor resources: Russian and foreign. The bearer of labor power is man, it is he who represents the power of production of the whole society. The labor resource possesses a set of intellectual and physical abilities, values, norms and labor characteristics, which should, first of all, be assessed by the state and the employer in building labor relations. The improvement of the labor market is led by the improvement in the indicators of the economically active population, the level of unemployment and employment.

The external labor market is distinguished by its openness and accessibility. The jobs are predominantly occupied by foreign workers. The high level of flows of foreign labor in the Russian Federation forces the state authorities to promptly respond to the situation. The state pays attention, first of all, to providing jobs for the citizens of its country to prevent unemployment. But for a stable economic situation, foreign labor is also required, which is why the state seeks to quantitatively and qualitatively regulate the attraction of foreign flows. Modern Russia is characterized by the western way of attracting foreign labor and limiting migration, it consists in the gradual introduction of a point system for individual assessment of the labor potential of each foreign worker.
MODERN TRENDS OF HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT IN THE CONDITIONS OF INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Kuznecov S.
Published: January 2021

The new economy, the knowledge economy, is fundamentally changing the attitude towards the workforce. The concept of "personnel" first replaced the concept of "human resources", but today it is already "human capital". Thus, the “war for brains” becomes the mainstream of HR management. The profession of an HR manager in business entities comes to the fore, and it is on their actions that the effectiveness of not only the correct selection of personnel depends, but also the further path of each employee, up to painless dismissal, without causing negative consequences for the HR brand

Today VUCA-reality forces us to radically revise the existing classical approaches to human resource management. Stability replaces instability, predictability - uncertainty, simplicity - complexity, certainty - ambiguity. The flagship is the "Person-centered" approach in HR - management, when effective management does not respond to the position and the focus of attention is completely directed to a specific employee, to his emotions, feelings, problems, behavior, the possibility of combining "brains".

Thus, the process of human resource management of business entities needs effective management based on new trends in the full management cycle, taking into account the transformation of life associated with the introduction of a remote work format. Accelerated development and implementation of IT technologies is also reflected in the process of effective HR - management of business entities focused on innovative development.

This article examines modern trends in HR management at different stages, including adaptive management decisions that meet the conditions of remote work, allowing modern business to be competitive and occupy a leading position in the market.

Authors: Stepanycheva E. , Yakovleva L.
Published: January 2021

In modern conditions, agrotourism is one of the most promising areas of development of the tourism industry. The growing interest of tourists in agrotourism is due to the intensification of the pace of life, excessive information load, and unfavorable environmental conditions in cities. On the one hand, agrotourism is an independent type of tourism, and on the other hand, it combines various types of tourism developed in rural areas, taking into account available resources. For rural areas, agrotourism is the tool that can ensure the inflow of financial resources, and, consequently, their effective development. Today the decision of tasks of development of agro-tourism in many regions is based on state-private partnership, due to the fact that the development of agritourism allows to increase the efficiency of use of resources of rural areas to provide rural residents more jobs, reduce the outflow of population to the cities, to increase the interest of local residents in the development of rural areas. The article considers the concept of agrotourism, specifies the tasks and factors of agrotourism development, analyzes foreign and domestic experience of agrotourism development. The state of development of agrotourism in the Tambov region is investigated, prospects of development of agrotourism in the Tambov region are determined, a set of measures for the organization of agrotourism in the Tambov region is proposed.

Published: January 2021

Photovoltaic Emulators (PVEs) has become more a fundamental tool in the study of PV systems. Besides their many operating principles, the design and the implementation of a PVE are still in progress. In this paper, we propose a simple and efficient PVE based on the dsPIC30F4011, which is equipped with a DSP engine dedicated to high-performance control applications. The control algorithm consists of an adaptive PI controller and a Perturb and Observe (P&O) algorithm for reference generation. This innovative and straightforward combination gives an efficient algorithm easy to be loaded and programmed on low-cost digital platforms, such as microcontrollers. The implementation under the dsPIC device makes the prototype inexpensive compared with the existing commercial PVEs, but not at the expense of simplicity and accuracy. The prototype is well optimized and described to be reproducible in laboratories. The effectiveness of the proposed method was validated using a platform that consists of a dsPIC30F4011, a current-controlled buck converter, a current sensor, and voltage one. The results show that the designed emulator prototype accurately behaves as the studied PV panel under different load and weather conditions.

Published: January 2021

Exergy analysis has sparked interest within the scientific community to require a more in-depth check up on the energy conversation devices. Exergy analysis gives entropy generation, irreversibility percentage exergy loss and second law efficiency. The exergy loss or irreversibility is the maximum at boiler. Thus to know about actual flow of exergy in the cycle thermodynamic analysis based on second law is desirable. In this report exergy analysis of operating condition of boiler has been carried out based on mass and exergy balance. The power plant boiler was simulated based on the measured operating data and the thermodynamic states of the plant components. . It has been found that maximum exergy destruction occurs due to combustion process. Exergy efficiency of boiler according to second law analysis and the exergy analysis of back pressure steam turbine is performed. It is found that at minimum flue gas outlet temperature second law efficiency is the maximum.

Published: January 2021

Climatic changes are the main concerns of varying crop yields nowadays. The world has reached where it will start a journey towards deterioration. Sustainable production will ensure food security in days to come. Sugarcane is considered a major crop for sugar as well as bio-fuel production in the world. Environmental changes have severely affected the cane production worldwide especially in the developing countries because of relatively low adaptive capacity, high vulnerability to natural hazards, poor forecasting systems and mitigating strategies. The changing rainfall patterns (Monsoon season) during July to September due to climate change may result in water stress induced by drought although harvesting efficiency is expected to increase. These studies also expound on the mitigation and adaptation strategies that can be employed in the sugarcane industry as a way of reducing losses in sugarcane production. This will also help to know how cane production is affected due to extreme environmental changes in Pakistan.

nuevas derechas como movimiento social: pandemia, acción colectiva y batalla por el sentido
Authors: Gómez Marcelo
Published: February 2021

La situación internacional caracterizada por la crisis ambiental y financiera, los cambios del tablero geopolítico, y ahora la pandemia del Covid/19 resquebrajan los discursos y marcos interpretativos de las derechas en todas sus variantes. En este trabajo se analizan, con las herramientas conceptuales de la Teoría de los Enmarcados Interpretativos, las formas operativas de producción de sentido que las nuevas derechas vienen poniendo de manifiesto desde hace varias décadas. La emocionalización, la estigmatización, la moralización y el estilo conspirativo paranoico, la manipulación identitaria y el aprovechamiento de los sistemas de creencias y fondos culturales forman parte de un dispositivo que desplaza la resonancia por credibilidad empírica y se vuelca unilateralmente a la obtención de resonancia por fidelidad narrativa, shock moral y compromiso identitario.
Erlazio-atzizkia eta hitz-ordenaren aldaketa
Authors: KrajewsKa Dorota
Published: February 2021

LABURPENA Lan honetan -ko erlazio-atzizkia duten sintagmen kokapena (izenaren aurrekoa eta izenaren ostekoa) aztertzen da ikuspuntu diakronikotik. atzizkiaren funtzioa izenen modifikatzaileak sortzea da, adberbioetatik, leku kasua, instrumentala edo postpo-sizioa duten izenetatik eta izen-multzoetatik. Helburua da hitz-ordenaren bariazioa deskribatzea eta erabileran eragina zuten faktoreak identifikatzea. Proposatzen da izen osteko -ko modifikatzaileak sortu zirela erlazio-atzizkia zuten sintagma batzuk adjek-tibo bezala lexikalizatu zirelako, eta adjektiboari zegokion kokapenean hasi zirela jar-tzen, hau da, izenaren eskuinean. RESUMEN En el presente trabajo se analiza la posición de los sintagmas que contienen el sufijo de relación-ko(pronominal o postnominal) desde un punto de vista diacrónico. Mediante dicho sufijo se crean modificadores adjetivales a partir de adverbios, sintagmas nomina-les o sustantivos dotados con casos locativos, instrumentales o posposiciones. El objeto del trabajo esdescribir la variación existente en el orden de las palabras e identificar los factores que influyen en el uso de unas u otras variantes. se propone que los modificado-res con-kopostnominal fueron creados tras la lexicalización como adjetivos de algunos sintagmas dotados del sufijo relacional; en concreto, su posición sintáctica cambió a la del adjetivo, pasando de ser pronominales a postnominales. ABSTRACT This paper deals with the relational marker -ko, which derives adjectival modifiers from a wide range of phrases: adverbs, local-case- or instrumental-marked nouns, postpo-sitions and determinerless nPs. More specifically, the goal is to describe the constitu-ent order variation from a diachronic perspective. There are two options: the modifier might be prenominal (default in the modern language) or postnominal. My proposal is that postnominal -ko modifiers appeared because some -ko phrases lexicalized as adjec-tives and started to be placed after the noun, in the position where canonical qualitative adjectives go in Basque.

LABURPENA Olaibarko hau Louis-Lucien Bonaparte euskalariak, Iruñe ondoko Atarrabia herria hegoaldeko mugatzat harturik, Ezkaba menditik iparraldera, Ezkabarte, Olaibar eta Odieta izeneko ibarrek osatzen duten esparrua aintzat hartuz jo zuen aldaeratzat, beste gainerakoekin batera (Erro, Auritz, Artze eta Elkano deiturikoekin) cispamplonés deitu zuen azpieuskalkiaren bosgarrena osatuz, hori guztia, jakina denez, Hegoaldeko goi-nafarrera deitu ere zuen euskalkiaren barruan kokatuz. Lan honetara, azpitituluan aipatzen denez, aldaerari dagozkion erdialde eta hegoaldeko zenbait herritan duela hogeita hamabost, ia berrogei urte, bildu genituen grabazioetatik ateratako hainbat testu ekarri dugu. RESUMEN Esta de Olaibar fue así denominada por el vascófilo Louis-Lucien Bonaparte cuando formalizó su clasificación de las hablas vascas. Estableció el punto más al sur de esta variedad en el pueblo de Atarrabia (Villava), a las afueras de Iruñea (Pamplona), extendiendo la misma al norte del monte Ezkaba abarcando los valles de Ezkabarte, Olaibar y Odieta. Con dicha variedad –la quinta–, sumada a las de Erro, Auritz (Burguete), Artze y Elkano, completó lo que él denominó subdialecto cispamplonés, dentro del dialecto alto navarro meridional. Tal como se indica en el subtítulo de este trabajo, traemos aquí diversos textos recogidos en las partes central y sur de la variedad, hace ahora unos treinta y cinco, casi cuarenta años. ABSTRACT The Olaibar variety was given its name by the Basquephile Louis-Lucien Bonaparte when he made his classification of the Basque language. He defined the southernmost point of the variety as the town of Atarrabia (Villava), on the outskirts of Iruñea Pamplona), spreading it north of Mount Ezkaba to encompass the valleys of Ezkabarte, Olaibar and Odieta. By adding this fifth variety to the Erro, Auritz (Burguete), Artze and Elkano varieties, he completed what he called the cispamplonés subdialect of the southern upper Navarrese dialect. As indicated in the subtitle, this paper offers several texts collected from the central and southern parts of the area some thirty-five, almost forty, years ago.
Relatar desde el margen: género, identidad sexual e infancia en la literatura acerca del conflicto vasco
Authors: Rodriguez Eider
Published: February 2021

RESUMEN El conflicto vasco ha atravesado la literatura vasca contemporánea de manera radical. Desde el año 1976 hasta el año 2000, la novela en euskera, salvo en contadas excepciones, ha representado el conflicto a través de masculinidades hegemónicas identificadas tanto positivamente como negativamente con eta. A partir del año 2000, sin embargo, el corpus novelístico en euskera se vuelve cada vez más polifónico. Las tres novelas analizadas en este artículo son muestra de esta nueva manera de relatar: en ellas, el núcleo de la novela no es eta ni sus acciones, sino que se desliza a otros márgenes. Así, las mujeres (Lagun izoztua/‘El amigo congelado’), las identidades sexuales no heteronormativas (Ezinezko maletak/Las maletas imposibles) y los niños y adolescentes (Gerra txikia/La pequeña guerra) pasan a formar parte del relato del conflicto. LABURPENA Euskal gatazkak alderik alde zeharkatu du euskal literatura garaikidea. 1976 eta 2000 urteak bitarte, euskarazko nobelagintzak etarekin positiboki zein negatiboki identifikatutako maskulinitate hegemonikoen bidez irudikatu du gatazka. Alabaina, 2000. urteaz geroztik, euskarazko nobelen corpusa geroz eta polifonikoagoa bilakatuz joan da. Artikulu honetan aztertutako hiru nobelak narratzeko modu berri honen adierazle dira: eleberrion muina ez da ez eta ezta bere ekintzak ere, beste bazter batzuetara lerratu da. Horrela, Lagun izoztua-n emakumezkoak, Ezinezko maletak-en sexu identitate ez heteronormatiboak eta Gerra txikia-n haurrak eta nerabeak errelatoaren parte izatera pasa dira. ABSTRACT The Basque conflict has crossed contemporary Basque literature in a radical way, not only as a literary topic. From 1976 to 2000, the novel in Basque, with few exceptions, has portrayed the conflict through hegemonic masculinities, which were identified positively or negatively with eta. From 2000 onwards, however, basque novels have become increasingly polyphonic. The three novels analyzed in this article are examples of this new way of telling: in them, the core of the novel is not eta or its actions, but slips to other margins. Thus, women (Lagun izoztua/‘The frozen friend’), non-heteronormative sexual identities (Ezinezko maletak/‘Impossible suitcases’) and children and adolescents (Gerra txikia/‘The little war’) become part of the narrative of the conflict.
