L’Activité physique adaptée pour les personnes obèses : une socialisation de transformation ?
Authors: Jacolin-Nackaerts Myriam
Published: January 2018

À partir d’observations effectuées lors de séjours d’hospitalisation pour des adultes obèses et d’entretiens biographiques menés avec certains de ces patients, cet article appréhende les modalités médicales de la socialisation sportive et ses effets sur l’évolution des rapports des patients à l’activité physique. L’analyse montre que, d’une part, si la médicalisation de l’obésité a contribué à améliorer le statut de l’activité physique dans les propositions thérapeutiques, elle en a également façonné les usages. D’autre part, les patients adhèrent d’autant plus difficilement à ces offres institutionnelles qu’elles sont éloignées de leurs dispositions. En effet, leur engagement n’est pas durable.
Transformations of (Verbal) Folklore in Contemporary Culture: Krivopete in the Upper Soča Valley and in Venetia
Authors: Ivančič Kutin Barbara
Published: January 2018

Prispevek obravnava folklorno izročilo o krivopetah ter lik oz. podobo krivopete v kontekstu sodobne kulture v Benečiji in v Zgornjem Posočju. Skozi 20. stoletje skoraj pozabljena bajčna bitja so danes navzoča bolj kot kadar koli prej, seveda v drugačnih funkcijah kakor v preteklosti. Predstavljeni so izbrani primeri od začetka 21. stoletja do danes: javni pripovedovalski dogodki, dramske uprizoritve, poustvarjanje v sodobni poeziji, prozi, glasbi, likovni umetnosti, v izobraževanju, turizmu in drugih tržnih dejavnostih in storitvah.

This article discusses folk traditions about krivopete and the figure and images of krivopete in the context of contemporary culture in Venetia (Benečija) and the region of the Upper Soča Valley. Mythical beings that were almost forgotten during the course of the 20th century are now more present than ever, yet assuming different roles than in the past. The author presents examples from the early 21st century to the present time: public storytelling events, theater productions, reproductions in contemporary poetry, prose, music, the arts, education, tourism and other economic/business activities and services.
On Silence in Ethnography: From Secret to Trauma and Incompatible Memories
Authors: Hrobat Virloget Katja
Published: January 2018

Avtorica z vidika samorefleksije premišlja o problemu molka v etnografskem raziskovanju in v produkciji etnološkega znanja. Analizira različne vrste molka, na katere je postala pozorna pri svojih terenskih raziskavah folklore, verovanj in spominov na 2. svetovno vojno in čas po njej. Molk je lahko posledica tega, da sogovorniki namenoma obdržijo skrivnost, še posebej o verovanjskih praksah, ali pa travm in neskladnih spominov.

Fabrication of Al-Si-Mg Functional Composites Engine Cylinder and its Bench Test
Authors: Lin Xue Dong , Liu Chang Ming , Sun Jian
Published: January 2018

The centrifugal casting method was adopted to fabricate Al-25Si-8Mg functional composites tubes reinforced with in-situ particles to acquire the Al-Si-Mg composites cylinder liner which was used to produce 600 cc aluminum alloy engine cylinder for the first time through the low pressure die casting. The inner layer of the cylinder was corroded and a bench test was carried out to test the performance of the engine assembled with the cylinder. It is found that a large number of primary Si/Mg2Si particles are segregated in the inner layer of Al-25Si-8Mg tubes in the centrifugal filed, forming the particle reinforcement layer. During die-casting process, the cylinder bore needs to be filled with refractory cotton to avoid the running-out of liquid aluminum alloy. Using the Al-Si-Mg composites cylinder, the measured maximum output power and output torque of the 600 cc water-cooled engine reach 22.66 KW and 44.37 N·m, respectively. Temperature monitoring shows a reduction of 5~8 degrees than usual.

Published: January 2018

The progress in the world industrial sector, together with new technologies increases solid waste generation and the consequent concern with the correct management of them. One of the biggest problems in the foundry sector is the generation of solid waste, consisting mainly of waste sands or discarded sand castings (ADF). Proper waste disposal is a challenge for industries, which are increasingly concerned about the need to preserve the environment and seeking for sustainable development. In Brazil, fused production in 2008 exceeded three million tons, generating approximately one ton of waste for each ton of metal produced. The main destination of this waste is industrial disposal landfills, which have high cost and is an increasing environmental concern for companies. Therefore, the aim of this research was to solve this problem, that is, it was proposed a methodology to reuse these solid wastes, testing our methodology by using concrete slabs with incorporation of foundry sand in different concentrations, in an increasing order of 5%, where natural sand was replaced by founding sand. The viability for the use of casting sand in relation to the resistance was significant in the traces 30% and 35%.
A Novel Preparation Method of CH3NH3PbI3 Thin Films for Perovskite Solar Cell
Authors: Zhao Wei Liang
Published: January 2018

A novel two-step sequential deposition method is proposed for the preparation of CH3NH3PbI3 for perovskite solar cell. In order to increase the crystallinity of the PbI2 film, rapidly drop the anhydrous chlorobenzene to the center of the substrate at 6 seconds of spin coating. Ultimately, the quality of the CH3NH3PbI3 film is improved. Through the transmission spectrum of CH3NH3PbI3 thin films, it is clear to see the use of the additive reduces the transmittance of the film. The PL spectroscopy of CH3NH3PbI3 thin films dropping with different additives shows that CH3NH3PbI3 thin films all have an emission peak at 768nm. The J-V test curve of the perovskite solar cell shows that the use of the additive improves the power conversion efficiency.
Study on the Structural Analysis of Al2O3 Ceramic-Lined Steel Pipe Prepared with the Gravitational Separation SHS Method
Authors: Hou Xing Hui , Yu Jing Kun , Yang Xin , Liu Zhao Yang
Published: January 2018

One kind of Al2O3 ceramic-lined steel pipe was prepared with the gravitational separation SHS method by using the reaction system of Al-Fe2O3-Cr2O3. The element line scans of transition structure and the element plane scans of ceramic coating far away from transition layer were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy, and then they were used to discuss the coating structure and interface bonding mechanism, and investigate the element composition distribution of coating. All of these were closely related to improving the properties of ceramic-lined steel pipe. The results showed that a transition layer was formed between metal pipe and ceramic coating, it was due to the gravitational separation and molecular diffusion motion of the reaction products in molten state; in the transition structure the amount of the reaction elements was gradually transitional from the direction of the coating-transition layer-steel pipe, which could reduce the stress difference between the layers; in the coating far away from the transition layer, only small amount of Fe embedded in the ceramic was left in the form of Fe-Cr alloy, while Cr was uniformly enriched in the Al2O3 ceramic, these all have great influence on the anti-corrosion ability of coating.

Effect of Lattice Mismatch Strain Grading on the Electromechanical Behavior of Functionally Graded Quantum Dots
Authors: Bishay Peter L. , Sampat Bhavin , Sladek Jan , Pan Ernian , Sladek Vladimir
Published: January 2018

A fully coupled thermo-electro-mechanical models of cylindrical and truncated conical GaN/AlN Functionally Graded Quantum Dot (FGQD) systems with and without WL are analyzed in this study to determine the effect of lattice mismatch strain grading on the electromechanical behavior of the FGQD system. This has a technological and fundamental importance because the production methodology adopted for manufacturing QDs enables the composition of the QD material to be graded in the growth direction, so the material properties as well as the induced mismatch strain between the QD and the carrier matrix are accordingly graded. The power law is used to describe the grading function. Based on the obtained results, grading of material properties and lattice mismatch strain have significant effect on the distribution of the electromechanical quantities inside the QD and can be used as another tuning parameter in the design of QD systems.
A New Approach to Grow A-TiO2 Nanocubes
Authors: Shyju Thankaraj Salammal , Paulraj Manidurai
Published: January 2018

The vertically aligned TiO2 Nanotubes (TiNTs) extracts electrons from an absorber and also helps in its transport in perovskite and dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) solar cells. Thus electron transporting layer plays a very important role in photon to electron conversion. Electrochemical anodization is been used widely to grow TiNTs for solar cell applications; due to its low cost, flexibility to vary pore diameter and tube length. We observed that, TiNTs maintained its tubular array only for a set time period. On increasing the growth time they begin to take the form of nanocrystals with {001} facets. Formation of these titanium nanocrystals (TiNcs) was clearly observed through field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Thus TiO2 nanostructures can be tuned by varying anodization time. More importantly, optimization of the reaction process led to the growth of more orderly, crystalline anatase TiNTs/TiNcs over Ti metal foil substrate. The crystal structure and surface morphology of the prepared thin film samples were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and scanning and transmission electron microscopes (TEM). XRD confirmed the anatase phase of as grown TiO2 with (101) as major intensity preferred orientation. Lattice parameters calculated were found to be a= 3.77-to-3.82 and c= 9.42-to-9.58 for grown TiO2.

Published: January 2018

Recently, the composited nanofiber attraction has been growing from researchers across the world due to its exciting opportunities for use in biomedical applications. In this study, we fabricated electrospun fibers from poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) composited with Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanoparticle for potential use in biomedical applications. From the experimental results, there was not any chemical bonding between the ZnO nanoparticles and the PVA molecules. The effect of concentration of ZnO nanoparticles in PVA solution on the diameter of electrospun fibers was found that the diameter of electrospun fibers increased with raising the concentration of suspended ZnO nanoparticles in solution. This is probably because the effect of nanoparticles on the diameter of electrospun fibers was through their effect on the viscosity of solution. In addition, we found that the diameter of electrospun fibers depended on the solution and processing parameters.

O trabalho objetivou avaliar os efeitos de diferentes preparos do solo e coveamentos na implantação de um pomar de nogueira-pecã Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch (Juglandaceae), através da fauna da Ordem Coleoptera. O pomar de nogueira-pecã foi implantado em fevereiro de 2012, em espaçamento de 7 m x 7 m, em Santa Maria, RS, em delineamento de blocos ao acaso, com cinco blocos e quatro tratamentos, compostos por plantio: em cova pequena de 20 cm x 60 cm (Cp); subsolador mais grade niveladora e cova pequena (Scp); enxada rotativa e cova pequena (Ecp); e em cova grande de 40 cm x 60 cm (Cg). De março de 2014 a novembro de 2015, foram realizadas oito coletas da fauna de Coleoptera, uma por estação do ano, com quatro armadilhas pitfall distribuídas em cada tratamento e cinco em cada área do entorno, totalizando 100 amostras por coleta. O tratamento Ecp apresentou os menores valores de diversidade, riqueza e equitabilidade para a coleopterofauna, enquanto que os tratamentos Cg e Cp apresentaram os maiores índices. A espécie Diloboderus abderus (Sturm) apresentou-se como muito frequente. Conclui-se que o tratamento Cg não interfere na diversidade de coleópteros e promove o maior crescimento em diâmetro de plantas de nogueira-pecã.
Configuraciones de la lengua en La casa de los conejos de Laura Alcoba
Authors: Di Meglio Estefanía Luján
Published: January 2018

El presente artículo estudia una novela de la posdictadura argentina, escrita en francés, a saber, La casa de los conejos (2007) de Laura Alcoba. El eje central del trabajo está dado por la lengua y sus múltiples relaciones con la historia –la historia de la violencia de Estado– que narra la novela. En primer lugar, se analiza el hecho de que el texto está escrito en francés a pesar de que la lengua materna de la autora es el español: Alcoba debió exiliarse, a sus diez años, en Francia junto a su madre. En segundo lugar, se vislumbra que más allá de que el idioma de escritura sea el francés, hay palabras puntuales que –aún en el original– se escriben en español. Tales términos funcionan como metonimia de una lengua entera (el español), como símbolo de una historia (la del terrorismo de Estado) y como metonimia, a la vez, de la literatura de la posdictadura argentina: esas palabras representan el hecho de contar una historia de forma alternativa a los relatos oficiales de la época.
“Jacob y el otro”: a la luz del cine (Apolo)
Authors: Escobar Armando
Published: January 2018

La relación entre el escritor uruguayo Juan Carlos Onetti y el cine es extensa y, al analizar una de las tantas adaptaciones que se han hecho de su obra, tenemos que considerar que se trata de una relación de doble influjo, ya que nuestro autor también ha abrevado del cine para desenvolver una de las obras más extensas e imprescindibles de la literatura latinoamericana. Por ello, cada vez es más común encontrar interpretaciones que proponen una lectura cinematográfica de la obra de Onetti. Como parte de un ejercicio semejante, proponemos la lectura del cuento “Jacob y el otro” (1961) a la luz de su adaptación al cine realizada por Álvaro Brechner en Un mal día para pescar (2009). Al realizarlo de esta forma, el cuento de Onetti alcanza nuevas interpretaciones a las que podemos llegar analizándolo con los ojos del cine.
M. M. Bakhtin as a University Professor
Authors: Vasiliev Nikolai L
Published: January 2018

This article presents M. M. Bakhtin as a University professor through his own views of on the nature of university teaching: lecturing, seminars and colloquia, engaging students in debates and reflexive analysis of literary texts, “scientific thinking”, and working with bibliography. As a Chair of Russian and Foreign Literature department of the Mordovian National Pedagogical Institute (later the Mordovia State University), for a quarter of a century, Bakhtin was promoting teaching approaches that would support students’ informed, independent, analytical and reflexive learning. According to the minutes from different department meetings at his university, over the years, Bakhtin struggled to define and improve his own guidance and teaching in the Literature studies and the overall work of his department. His three pedagogical goals for a literary lecture were: 1) Communication of certain information on a given topic - establishing the level of students’ familiarity with the topic; 2) Fostering students’ scientific thinking; and 3) Fostering students’ aesthetic perception and taste. Some of his former students emphasized his erudition, pedagogic skill, and ability to stimulate his students’ imagination and reflective thinking.
Different destination, different commuting pattern? Analyzing the influence of the campus location on commuting
Authors: Vale David Sousa , Pereira Mauro , Viana Claudia Morais
Published: January 2018

There is a vast literature on the relationship between built environment and travel, emphasizing the importance of built environment as a determinant of travel. However, the majority of studies focuses on the characteristics of origins and neglects the influence that the destination might have on travel, despite the already demonstrated importance of destinations to explain travel. In this paper, we test the relationship between residential and workplace built environment and the commuting pattern of staff and students of the University of Lisbon, a multi-campus university. Data was obtained through a dedicated travel survey, containing 1474 georeferenced individuals. Chi-square analyses were developed to analyze differences between staff and students and between different campuses. A logistic regression model was developed to explain car commuting, controlling for socio-demographic data. Two different models were developed for students and staff.

Our results show the built environment and associated multimodal accessibility of the campuses are important explanatory variables of commuting. Free parking at the campus is crucial for car commuting, especially for students. These results emphasize the importance of measuring destinations as explanatory variables and promoting good urban integration of the campus in the city, increasing its multimodal accessibility.
Transportation impacts of affordable housing: Informing development review with travel behavior analysis
Authors: Howell Amanda , Currans Kristina , Gehrke Steven , Norton Gregory , Clifton Kelly
Published: January 2018

Planning for affordable housing is challenged by development policies that assess transportation impacts based on methodologies that often do not distinguish between the travel patterns of residents of market-rate housing and those living in affordable units. Given the public goals of providing affordable housing in areas with good accessibility and transportation options, there is a need to reduce unnecessary costs imposed by the potential overestimation of automobile travel and its associated impacts. Thus, the primary objective of this paper is to examine and quantify the influences of urban characteristics, residential housing type, and income on metrics commonly used to assess the transportation impacts of new development, namely total home-based trips and home-based vehicle trips. Using the 2010-2012 California Household Travel Survey, we regressed these metrics on urban place type, regionally adjusted income, and housing type, controlling for household size, weekday travel, and home location. The results indicate significant reductions in vehicle trip making with lower incomes and increasing urbanization. These findings support more differentiation of affordable and market-rate housing in the development review process and emphasize the need for development standards to be more sensitive to the characteristics of future residents and location.
Land-use transport models for climate change mitigation and adaptation planning
Authors: Ford Alistair , Dawson Richard , Blythe Phil , Barr Stuart
Published: January 2018

The adoption of the Paris Agreement has committed the world to limiting anthropogenic climate change to 2°C above preindustrial levels, adapting to climate risks, and fostering climate resilience. Given the high proportion of global emissions released by cities and the concentration of people living in urban areas, this will require an unprecedented reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and transformation of the built environment on a yet unparalleled timescale. This poses substantial challenges for urban land-use and transport planning and for the use of land-use transport models (LUTM), which have historically been developed to test incremental changes rather than the rapid transformations implied by the Paris Agreement.
This paper sets out the need for a new generation of tools to support the planning of a transition toward a low-carbon and resilient future, arguing that land-use and transport modeling tools are crucial to support this process. Recent developments in urban integrated assessment that link models of land-use and transport with other environmental models of greenhouse gas emissions and climate hazards show promise as platforms to assess the potential of urban policies in achieving the goals set out in the Paris Agreement.

The paper concludes by defining challenges for the LUTM community if it is to achieve these goals. Crucial will be the adoption of new modeling approaches to better represent rapid social and technological change and to concurrently assess the resilience and sustainability implications of different land-use and transport policies. Simple models to explore multiple scenarios of change must be integrated with more sophisticated models for detailed design. Collaborative approaches will be necessary to allow multiple stakeholders to use these tools to explore urban futures and design radical urban transitions across multiple and interdependent urban sectors.
A review of Conocetus Desbrochers des Loges, 1875, subgenus of Polydrusus Germar, 1817 (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Entiminae)
Authors: Germann Christoph
Published: January 2018

The species of the subgenus Conocetus Desbrochers des Loges, 1875 are reviewed and Polydrusus (Conocetus) transjordanus sp. nov. is described. Upon examination of the holotype of Polydrusus bardus Gyllenhal, 1834, it was observed that the species hitherto determined sensu auctorum as P. bardus was a misidentification. The specimen in question was therefore unnamed and is thus newly described as Polydrusus (Conocetus) crinipes sp. nov. Polydrusus femoratus (Stierlin, 1888) is a junior synonym of P. angustus (Lucas, 1854). Polydrusus gracilicornis Kiesenwetter, 1864, P. cylindrithorax (Desbrochers des Loges, 1900) and P. quadraticollis (Desbrochers des Loges, 1902) are proposed as junior synonyms of P. bardus. Polydrusus zurcheri (Schilsky, 1912) is proposed as a junior synonym of P. grandiceps (Desbrochers des Loges, 1875). Polydrusus kahri Kirsch, 1865 is transferred from subgenus Conocetus to Denticonocetus subgen. nov., with P. siculus Desbrochers des Loges, 1872 and P. vodozi Desbrochers des Loges, 1903 both recognized as new junior synonyms of P. kahri. The lectotypes of P. gracilicornis, P. zurcheri, P. marcidus Kiesenwetter, 1864, P. gracilis (Stierlin, 1888), P. rhodiacus (Schilsky, 1912) and P. grandiceps are designated. A key, figures, label data and distribution maps are provided for all species, except for P. longus (Stierlin, 1884), for which no specimens were available for examination, and whose placement in the subgenus Conocetus remains uncertain (thus categorized as incertae sedis). Polydrusus angustus is recorded for the first time for Italy, P. rhodiacus for mainland Turkey and P. festae (Solari, 1925) for Greece.

Capacity Management as a Service for Enterprise Standard Software
Authors: Müller Hendrik , Bosse Sascha , Turowski Klaus
Published: January 2018

Capacity management approaches optimize component utilization from a strong technical perspective. In fact, the quality of involved services is considered implicitly by linking it to resource capacity values. This practice hinders to evaluate design alternatives with respect to given service levels that are expressed in user-centric metrics such as the mean response time for a business transaction. We argue that utilized historical workload traces often contain a variety of performance-related information that allows for the integration of performance prediction techniques through machine learning. Since enterprise applications excessively make use of standard software that is shipped by large software vendors to a wide range of customers, standardized prediction models can be trained and provisioned as part of a capacity management service which we propose in this article. Therefore, we integrate knowledge discovery activities into well-known capacity planning steps, which we adapt to the special characteristics of enterprise applications. Using a real-world example, we demonstrate how prediction models that were trained on a large scale of monitoring data enable cost-efficient measurement-based prediction techniques to be used in early design and redesign phases of planned or running applications. Finally, based on the trained model, we demonstrate how to simulate and analyze future workload scenarios. Using a Pareto approach, we were able to identify cost-effective design alternatives for an enterprise application whose capacity is being managed.

An assessment of linear enamel hypoplasia defects in Early Archaic Texan hunter-gatherers
Authors: Berbesque J. Colette , Hoover Kara C
Published: January 2018

Digital photographs taken under controlled conditions were used to examine the incidence of linear enamel hypoplasia defects (LEHs) in burials from the Buckeye Knoll archaeological site (41VT98 Victoria county, Texas), which spans the Early to Late Archaic Period (ca. 2500-6500 BP uncorrected radiocarbon). The majority (68 of 74 burials) date to the Texas Early Archaic, including one extremely early burial dated to 8,500 BP. The photogrammetric data collection method also results in an archive for Buckeye Knoll, a significant rare Archaic period collection that has been repatriated and reinterred. We analyzed the incidence and developmental timing of LEHs in permanent canines. Fifty-nine percent of permanent canines (n = 54) had at least one defect. There were no significant differences in LEH frequency between the maxillary and mandibular canines (U = 640.5, n1 = 37, n2 = 43, p = .110). The sample studied (n=92) had an overall mean of 0.93 LEH defect per tooth, with a median of one defect, and a mode of zero defects. Average age at first insult was 3.92 (median = 4.00, range = 2.5 – 5.4) and the mean age of all insults per individual was 4.18 years old (range = 2.5 - 5.67). Age at first insult is consistent with onset of weaning stress—the weaning age range for hunter-gatherer societies is 1- 4.5. Having an earlier age of first insult was associated with having more LEHs (n = 54, rho = -0.381, p = 0.005).
A postsynaptic PI3K-cII dependent signaling controller for presynaptic homeostatic plasticity

Published: January 2018

Presynaptic homeostatic plasticity stabilizes information transfer at synaptic connections in organisms ranging from insect to human. By analogy with principles of engineering and control theory, the molecular implementation of PHP is thought to require postsynaptic signaling modules that encode homeostatic sensors, a set point, and a controller that regulates transsynaptic negative feedback. The molecular basis for these postsynaptic, homeostatic signaling elements remains unknown. Here, an electrophysiology-based screen of the Drosophila kinome and phosphatome defines a postsynaptic signaling platform that includes a required function for PI3K-cII, PI3K-cIII and the small GTPase Rab11 during the rapid and sustained expression of PHP. We present evidence that PI3K-cII localizes to Golgi-derived, clathrin-positive vesicles and is necessary to generate an endosomal pool of PI(3)P that recruits Rab11 to recycling endosomal membranes. A morphologically distinct subdivision of this platform concentrates postsynaptically where we propose it functions as a homeostatic controller for retrograde, trans-synaptic signaling.

Olipudase alfa, a recombinant human acid sphingomyelinase (ASM), is an enzyme replacement therapy for the treatment of nonneurologic manifestations of acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD). This ongoing, open‐label, long‐term study (NCT02004704) assessed safety and efficacy of olipudase alfa following 30 months of treatment in five adult patients with ASMD. There were no deaths, serious or severe events, or discontinuations during 30 months of treatment. The majority of adverse events were mild and included headache, nausea, and abdominal pain. No patient developed anti‐drug antibodies and there were no clinically significant adverse changes in vital signs, hematology, or cardiac safety parameters. Statistically significant reductions in liver (31%) and spleen (39%) volumes were maintained through 30 months of treatment. There was a mean increase in lung diffusing capacity of 35%, and clinically relevant improvements in infiltrative lung disease parameters. Lipid profiles improved in all patients. Improvements in bone mineral density of the spine were observed in some patients. Chitotriosidase in serum and lyso‐sphingomyelin in dried blood spots decreased with olipudase alfa treatment, suggesting utility as biomarkers for monitoring treatment efficacy. Olipudase alfa is the first etiology‐specific treatment in development for ASMD. This study demonstrates that treatment with olipudase alfa for 30 months is well‐tolerated and associated with life‐transforming sustained improvements in relevant disease clinical measures.

Understanding change in violence‐related attitudes for adolescents in relationship education
Authors: Savasuk‐Luxton Rachel , Adler‐Baeder Francesca , Haselschwerdt Megan L.
Published: January 2018

Relationship education (RE) targets common correlates of adolescent dating violence (ADV), such as gender role beliefs (GRB) and DV acceptance (DVA), yet few studies have evaluated the influence of RE on GRB and DVA and none have considered participants' sociodemographic characteristics. Using a sample of adolescents from the United States (Mage = 15.66 years; 58% female), this study examined pre‐ and post‐test GRB and DVA scores of RE participants (n = 1645) compared to nonparticipants (n = 522) and explored the differential and combined effects of participants' sociodemographic characteristics on change. Black males held the most traditional GRB at pre‐test, but became more egalitarian after programming. RE participation also appeared to act as a buffer against an increase in DVA for females, but not males. Study findings provide a more complex picture of the role of RE in shifting beliefs and attitudes associated with ADV and provide implications for programming.
Richard of St Victor's Solutions to Problems of Architectural Representation in the Twelfth Century
Authors: Kinsella Karl
Published: January 2018

This article argues that Richard of St Victor's twelfth-century architectural drawings for his historical exegesis of Ezekiel's vision of the Temple of Jerusalem is more sophisticated than the historiography has suggested to date. In his commentary, Richard provided plans and elevations for a number of different buildings, including the Temple's gatehouse. When attempting to convey the dimensions of the gatehouse, he made a distinction between measurements taken as if along a flat plane and those that take the slope of the mountain into account, calling theseplanumandsuperficiesrespectively, words that indicate a strong correlation to contemporary practices in geometry. When he wished to illustrate the dimensions of a gatehouse's interior, he included a lateral section of the building, which is possibly the earliest in existence. The use of the termplanum(similar in meaning to the subsequent word ‘plan’) and the appearance of a section are unusually early, although there is still no evidence that Richard's work directly influenced later architectural drawings.
The Hammer-beam Roof of Westminster Hall and the Structural Rationale of Hugh Herland
Authors: Beech Robert
Published: January 2018

This paper examines the carpentry of the late medieval roof of Westminster Hall. The structure, a hammer-beam roof, is analysed from the perspective of the king's carpenter Hugh Herland. This analysis is based on drawings made in 1913 to facilitate the repair of the roof, and on the author's archaeological reconstruction of the carpentry based on those drawings. Herland's experience at Winchester in the early 1390s, immediately before beginning work at Westminster, is also considered. The paper also places the Westminster roof in the context of earlier hammer-beam roofs, particularly Pilgrims' Hall, Winchester. It concludes that the hammer-beam carpentry was crucial to the roof's structure, and that Herland intended the hall's ‘great arched ribs’ primarily as ornamental components.
Reviving Antiquity with Granite: Spolia and the Development of Roman Renaissance Architecture
Authors: Waters Michael J.
Published: January 2018

Ancient granite columns have been a pervasive element in the architecture of Rome since the Imperial era. However, in the fifteenth century, just as the effort to revive Antiquity intensified, these ubiquitous and durable ancient columns fell out of use. It was instead the stone travertine that became the columnar material of choice. Yet, just as quickly as this change occurred, within an exceptionally short period of thirty years, beginning with the construction of the Palazzo della Cancelleria courtyard, Rome saw a renascence in their application. While little has been made of this material shift, this article argues that the sudden extensive employment of spoliated granite columns was a crucial component in the recovery of a distinctly local Roman Antiquity. It was through the use and transformation of spolia that builders and patrons attempted to create an architecture that not only recalled Antiquity, but resubstantiated it, literally making it whole again.
‘Proceeding like Guy Faux’: the Antiquarian Investigation of St Stephen's Chapel Westminster, 1790–1837
Authors: Hill Rosemary
Published: January 2018

St Stephen's Chapel Westminster is one of Europe's great lost buildings. An elaborate palatine chapel, work on it began in 1292 and continued until at least 1363. After 1546 it became the House of Commons and was so obscured by successive alterations that the original building had passed out of living memory by the late eighteenth century. It was then that it attracted the interest of a number of antiquaries who recorded it in the years up to and after the fire of 1834. In 1837 it was demolished. The antiquaries’ accounts provide the only records of the chapel's appearance and construction and have been much used in studies of the medieval building. This article, however, considers them as a body of work in their own right, one that casts light not only on St Stephen's but on the changing attitudes of the Romantic age towards history and the medieval past in the years which saw the transformation of the Gothic Revival and the birth of the modern idea of conservation.
Edwin Lutyens in Spain: the Palace of El Guadalperal
Authors: Basarrate Íñigo
Published: January 2018

Although the work of Edwin Lutyens has received careful scholarly study since the 1980s, his projects in Spain remain very little known. Unfortunately, Lutyens was unable to complete his Spanish commissions, mostly because of the deterioration of country's economy and social order in the 1930s, and this has played a major role in keeping these projects in the dark. Furthermore the devastation caused by the Civil War obliterated most of the evidence once held in Spanish archives.

This paper focuses on Lutyens's main commission in Spain, the palace of El Guadalperal, designed for the eighteenth Duke of Peñaranda as a country house on his estate in south west Spain. This decades-long commission, lasting from 1915 to 1934, represents a very significant and original work in Lutyens's output. The first version for the palace shows his capacity to adapt his architecture to the local climate and architectural traditions, while the second would have been, if built, his largest country house, approaching the grandeur and magnificence of the Viceroy's House in Delhi.
Theobalds, Hertfordshire: The Plan and Interiors of an Elizabethan Country House
Authors: Cole Emily
Published: January 2018

This article aims to reconstruct the plan of Theobalds, Hertfordshire, built between 1564 and 1585 by Sir William Cecil, Lord Burghley. Theobalds was perhaps the most significant English country house of the Elizabethan period and in 1607 was taken on as a royal palace. It was visited by all the major court and political figures of the age, while its fame also extended overseas. Theobalds was innovative in various respects, as the article makes clear, and it had a profound impact on the architecture of its generation. Its importance is all the more extraordinary given that Theobalds was so short-lived: the house was taken down shortly after 1650 and few traces of it survive today. The assumption has been that, because the house was demolished so long ago, it could not be well understood. This article contradicts that view by reconstructing in detail the plan of Theobalds, using evidence provided by primary documents.
