La música y su celosía. Las ideas y usos musicales de las grandes casas españolas del Siglo de Oro (1580-1640) como caso de “estado latente”
Authors: Rodulfo Hazen Ignacio
Published: December 2018

Desde finales del siglo XVI hasta bien entrado el siglo XVII, en pleno Siglo de Oro, la música se retira de la documentación española. La crítica insiste en el fenómeno aduciendo razones económicas y sociológicas: entre ellas, que la aristocracia española no cultivó la música. Retomando la obra de Menéndez Pidal y su concepto de “estado latente”, plantéase aquí la posibilidad de que aquello en realidad no sucediera, sino que la música fuera entonces conscientemente velada, tomando formas nuevas que sólo pueden comprenderse en la vida aristocrática de la época; formas que de hecho pudieron ser razones del triunfo de la música española en la Europa del momento.
El legado musical de Pedro de Ardanaz y Miguel de Ambiela. Dos inventarios con papeles de música en latín de la catedral de Toledo (1713 y 1737)
Authors: Martínez Gil Carlos
Published: December 2018

Con la perspectiva de tener ya casi terminado el Catálogo de fondos musicales conservados de la catedral de Toledo (1600-1900), el autor del artículo nos remite a dos inventarios que recogen una ingente lista de obras de música en latín, la mayoría de ellas desaparecidas. Las fechas de los inventarios, 1713 y 1737, reflejan la actividad musical de dos maestros de dilatada trayectoria al frente de la capilla toledana: Pedro de Ardanaz (1674-1706) y Miguel de Ambiela (1710-1733). Por un lado, el inventario redactado tras la muerte de Ardanaz nos describe las características del repertorio latino practicado en los templos españoles durante el siglo XVII; por otro, el documento relacionado con Ambiela supone una lanzadera de las propuestas musicales que, en el mismo ámbito, se van a ir desarrollando a lo largo del siglo XVIII. Los inventarios de música son un complemento necesario para la elaboración de los catálogos de obras conservadas, ya que éstos solo nos dan una información incompleta sobre la historia musical de una institución. Para ello, un catálogo de música siempre debería ir acompañado de la sucesión lineal de los inventarios hallados, de tal modo que nos permitan valorar la actividad musical de un determinado lugar a través del repertorio que hay (catálogo), pero también del que hubo (inventarios).
Francisco Viñas y la nueva concepción de la música en la catedral de Jaca (1722-1731)
Authors: Escuer Salcedo Sara
Published: December 2018

La admisión de Francisco Viñas (*Barcelona, 1698; †Calahorra, 1784) como maestro de capilla de la catedral de Jaca en 1722 supuso el inicio del mayor cambio estilístico desarrollado en la música en la seo altoaragonesa durante la primera mitad del siglo XVIII. Durante su magisterio florecieron en la catedral jaquesa nuevos rasgos estilísticos influenciados por innovadoras técnicas de composición que habían comenzado a llegar a España procedentes de Italia. Francisco Viñas es el autor de las primeras composiciones registradas en la catedral de Jaca con presencia de violines y oboes, así como de nuevas tipologías y secciones en las obras en lengua romance (cantadas, recitados, arias, oberturas...). En esa catedral, en la que permaneció casi diez años, se conserva el 80% de la producción musical de Francisco Viñas, localizada actualmente en seis ciudades de España.

Une méditation cosmopolite : l’assimilation de l’art précolombien péruvien dans l’itinéraire plastique de Fernando de Szyszlo
Authors: Baudry Paul
Published: December 2018

Figure incontournable des arts plastiques latino-américains de la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle, Fernando de Szyszlo (Lima, 1925-2017) fascine, entre autres, par le dialogue intericonique qu’il a su établir entre l’abstractionnisme des avant-gardes européennes et les traditions amérindiennes au Pérou. Son travail, marqué par une mise en tension entre l’ici et l’ailleurs, naît aussi d’un besoin de modernité qui ne peut être assouvi que par la fréquentation des grands carrefours cosmopolites de l’après-guerre, dont Paris. Cependant, la dialectique qui s’en suit, à savoir, l’appropriation d’un langage abstrait pour représenter une spatialité primordiale antérieure ou contemporaine à la Conquête, se produit grâce à une prise de conscience progressive des leurres de la modernité occidentale. En ce sens, l’objectif de cet article est de donner à voir cette itinérance en suggérant quelques pistes d’interprétation autour de son assimilation de ces traditions exogènes qui, loin de dénaturer la matière locale, lui permettent au contraire de trouver sa voix au sein des paysages, des mythes et des rituels qu’il transpose avec succès jusqu’à nos jours.
Characterisation of Treated Wastewater of M’Zab Valley for Reuse in Irrigation (Southern Algeria)
Authors: Zegait Rachid , Remini Boualem
Published: December 2018

The reuse of treated wastewater can reduce the water deficit in Saharan areas, especially in Ghardaia. The M'Zab wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is designed to treat wastewater by the natural lagoon system, and to reuse the treated water for irrigation of agricultural perimeters in order to contribute to sustainable development efforts in the region. Indeed the present work aims to search for the study of the possibility of reusing treated wastewater of M 'Zab in irrigation, to do this, we established and followed the evolution of the various physical-chemical and bacteriological analysis for two years (2013-2015), to study the effectiveness of biological treatment in the reduction of wastewater pollution, and then compare the results of treated water with national and international standards in the field of 'irrigation. The results showed that the treated water is considered as poor quality water is not usable only for some salt-tolerant species and on well-drained soil and leached, require additional treatments for ensured the quality of this precious resource.

Spectral Structures and Topological Methods in Mathematical Quasicrystals
Authors: Baake Michael , Damanik David , Kellendonk Johannes , Lenz H. Daniel
Published: December 2018

The mathematical theory of aperiodic order grew out of various predecessors in discrete geometry, harmonic analysis and mathematical physics, and developed rapidly after the discovery of real world quasicrystals in 1982 by Shechtman. Many mathematical disciplines have contributed to the development of this field. In this meeting, the goal was to bring leading researchers from several of them together to exchange the state of affairs, with special focus on spectral aspects, dynamics and topology.
Mini-Workshop: PDE Models of Motility and Invasion in Active Biosystems
Authors: Berlyand Leonid , Fuhrmann Jan , Marciniak-Czochra Anna , Surulescu Christina
Published: December 2018

Cell migration is crucial for the development and functioning of multicellular organisms; it plays an essential role in, e.g., morphogenesis, immune system dynamics, wound healing, angiogenesis, bacterial motion and biofilm formation, tumor growth and metastasis. Cell motility is a highly complex phenomenon involving a plethora of biophysical and biochemical events occuring on several time and space scales. The associated dynamics range from the subcellular level over individual cell behavior and up to the macroscopic level of cell populations; all these scales are tightly interrelated.

For decades, partial differential equations have been used to model the motility of single cells as well as the collective motion of cell assemblies like tumors. Mathematical models for both individual motile cells and invading tumors have major features in common. The active nature of cells leads to very similar nonlinear systems of coupled equations, the solutions of which often determine the position and shape of the objects of interest. Recently, several types of models attracted particular attention in the description of these systems: free boundary problems, phase field models, reaction-diffusion-taxis and kinetic transport equations. Both tumor growth/invasion and cell motility can be described by parabolic, hyperbolic, or elliptic equations; in case of free boundary problems, the boundary conditions are very similar. Thereby, the involved free boundaries can describe cell membranes, tumor margins, or interfaces between different tissues.

In this mini-workshop applied mathematicians and biophysicists using these model classes to describe different but related biological systems came together, presented their recent work and identified commonalities and differences in their approaches. Moreover, they discussed possible model extensions and their application to different, but related problems, along with the innovative utilization of certain mathematical tools to the analysis of the resulting systems.
Variational Methods for Evolution
Authors: Mielke Alexander , Peletier Mark A. , Slepčev Dejan
Published: December 2018

Many evolutionary systems, as for example gradient flows or Hamiltonian systems, can be formulated in terms of variational principles or can be approximated using time-incremental minimization. Hence they can be studied using the mathematical techniques of the field of calculus of variations. This viewpoint has led to many discoveries and rapid expansion of the field over the last two decades. Relevant applications arise in mechanics of fluids and solids, in reaction-diffusion systems, in biology, in many-particle models, as well as in emerging uses in data science.

This workshop brought together a broad spectrum of researchers from calculus of variations, partial differential equations, metric geometry, and stochastics, as well as applied and computational scientists to discuss and exchange ideas. It focused on variational tools such as minimizing movement schemes, Gamma convergence, optimal transport, gradient flows, and large-deviation principles for time-continuous Markov processes.

Optimizing PCR Detection of Zika Virus from Various Body Fluids
Authors: Gorchakov Rodion , Berry Rebecca M. , Patel Shital M. , El Sahly Hana M. , Ronca Shannon E. , Murray Kristy O.
Published: December 2018

Current diagnostic protocols of acute Zika virus (ZIKV) infection focus on detection of viral RNA in serum or urine using reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR); however, detecting infection can be a challenge, given that 80% of people with acute ZIKV infection are asymptomatic, and the window to detect viremia in serum is short. The ability to extend that window is needed to detect ZIKV at later time points after infection, particularly in high-risk individuals such as pregnant women. We evaluated RNA extraction methods to optimize detection of ZIKV in various body fluids using RT-qPCR as a means of improving the analytical sensitivity of detection. We optimized methods for ZIKV RNA recovery from a number of body fluids by spiking with three varying concentrations of virus, then comparing recovery with that of spiked buffer control. RNA extraction protocols were adjusted as necessary for maximum RNA recovery. Adjustment of the elution step was essential for improved ZIKV RNA recovery from whole blood, saliva, vaginal secretions, and breast milk. Optimal recovery from urine samples required the addition of Urine Conditioning Buffer, and the use of RLT Plus buffer and RNeasy Mini Spin Columns was necessary for RNA extractions from semen samples. Optimized QIAamp MinElute Virus Spin Kit (QIAGEN, Valencia, CA) protocol followed by the singleplex ZIKV RT-qPCR assay provided a reliable method for detection of ZIKV RNA in a variety of biological samples. Improved diagnostics are crucial for timely detection and diagnosis, particularly during pregnancy when the consequences of ZIKV infection can greatly impact the developing fetus.

Este trabalho apresenta uma revisão da literatura sobre o uso do Arduino no ensino de Física, realizada através da consulta a artigos publicados nas principais revistas de ensino de Ciências do Brasil. A pesquisa concentrou-se nas contribuições do uso do Arduino direcionados ao ensino de Física e resultou numa amostra de 20 artigos. Os trabalhos consultados foram classificados em duas categorias: propostas didáticas testadas em sala de aula, e propostas didáticas para aplicação em sala de aula. Além disso, são apontados os principais objetivos esperados pelas práticas, as quais são: inovação dos laboratórios didáticos, interdisciplinaridade e contextualização, potencializar a aprendizagem dos conceitos físicos, tornar as aulas atraentes e motivadoras, obtenção de dados e difusão do Arduino. É possível constatar que, apesar dessa tecnologia ser relativamente nova, já existem muitas publicações na área, com possíveis aplicações no ensino de Física. A maioria, com propostas metodológicas voltadas para a prática experimental, bem como, a automatização dos laboratórios didáticos. Em geral, nas práticas experimentais abordadas foram obtidos resultados de pesquisa satisfatórios, porém pontuais. Embora sejam divulgadas muitas propostas didáticas inovadoras, ainda há poucos trabalhos que mostram dados quanto à aprendizagem de conceitos físicos por meio da aplicação dos recursos já citados, em sala de aula.

Abstract. The two concerted
field campaigns, Arctic CLoud Observations Using airborne measurements during
polar Day (ACLOUD) and the Physical feedbacks of Arctic planetary boundary
level Sea ice, Cloud and AerosoL (PASCAL), took place near Svalbard from
23 May to 26 June 2017. They were focused on studying Arctic mixed-phase
clouds and involved observations from two airplanes (ACLOUD), an icebreaker
(PASCAL) and a tethered balloon, as well as ground-based stations. Here, we
present the synoptic development during the 35-day period of the campaigns,
using near-surface and upper-air meteorological observations, as well as
operational satellite, analysis, and reanalysis data. Over the campaign
period, short-term synoptic variability was substantial, dominating over the
seasonal cycle. During the first campaign week, cold and dry Arctic air from
the north persisted, with a distinct but seasonally unusual cold air
outbreak. Cloudy conditions with mostly low-level clouds prevailed. The
subsequent 2 weeks were characterized by warm and moist maritime air from
the south and east, which included two events of warm air advection. These
synoptical disturbances caused lower cloud cover fractions and
higher-reaching cloud systems. In the final 2 weeks, adiabatically warmed
air from the west dominated, with cloud properties strongly varying within the range of the two other periods. Results presented here provide
synoptic information needed to analyze and interpret data of upcoming studies
from ACLOUD/PASCAL, while also offering unprecedented measurements in a
sparsely observed region.
Marine and terrestrial influences on ice nucleating particles during continuous springtime measurements in an Arctic oilfield location

Published: December 2018

Abstract. Aerosols that serve as ice nucleating particles (INPs) have the potential to
modulate cloud microphysical properties and can therefore impact cloud
radiative forcing (CRF) and precipitation formation processes. In remote
regions such as the Arctic, aerosol–cloud interactions are severely
understudied yet may have significant implications for the surface energy
budget and its impact on sea ice and snow surfaces. Further, uncertainties in
model representations of heterogeneous ice nucleation are a significant
hindrance to simulating Arctic mixed-phase cloud processes. We present
results from a campaign called INPOP (Ice Nucleating Particles at Oliktok
Point), which took place at a US Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation
Measurement (DOE ARM) facility in the northern Alaskan Arctic. Three time-
and size-resolved aerosol impactors were deployed from 1 March to 31 May 2017
for offline ice nucleation and chemical analyses and were co-located with
routine measurements of aerosol number and size. The largest particles (i.e.,
≥ 3 µm or “coarse mode”) were the most efficient INPs by
inducing freezing at the warmest temperatures. During periods with snow- and
ice-covered surfaces, coarse mode INP concentrations were very low (maximum
of 6 × 10−4 L−1 at −15 ∘C), but higher
concentrations of warm-temperature INPs were observed during late May
(maximum of 2 × 10−2 L−1 at −15 ∘C). These
higher concentrations were attributed to air masses originating from over
open Arctic Ocean water and tundra surfaces. To our knowledge, these results
represent the first INP characterization measurements in an Arctic oilfield
location and demonstrate strong influences from mineral and marine sources
despite the relatively high springtime pollution levels. Ultimately, these
results can be used to evaluate the anthropogenic and natural influences on
aerosol composition and Arctic cloud properties.

Abstract. Number concentrations of ice nucleating particles (NINP) in the Arctic were derived from ground-based filter samples. Examined samples had been collected in Alert (Nunavut, Northern Canadian Archipelago on Ellesmere Island), Utqiagvik, formerly known as Barrow (Alaska), Ny Ålesund (Svalbard) and at the Villum Research Station (VRS, North Greenland). For the former two stations, examined filters span a full yearly cycle. For VRS, 10 weekly samples, mostly from different month of one year, were included. Samples from Ny Ålesund were collected during the months from March until September of one year. At all four stations, highest concentrations were found in the summer months from roughly June to September. For those stations with sufficient data coverage, an annual cycle can be seen. The spectra of NINP observed at the highest temperatures, i.e., those obtained for summer month, showed the presence of INP that nucleate ice up to − 5 °C. It is know from literature that ice activivity observed at such high temperatures indicates the presence of ice active material of biogenic origin. Spectra observed at the lowest temperatures, i.e., those derived for winter month, were on the lower end of respective values reported in literature. An analysis concerning the origin of INP that were ice active at high temperatures was carried out, using back-trajectories and satellite information. Both, terrestrial locations in the Arctic and the adjacent sea were found to be possible source areas for highly active INP.
Deglacial to postglacial history of Nares Strait, Northwest Greenland: a marine perspective from Kane Basin
Authors: Georgiadis Eleanor , Giraudeau Jacques , Martinez Philippe , Lajeunesse Patrick , St-Onge Guillaume , Schmidt Sabine , Massé Guillaume
Published: December 2018

Abstract. A radiocarbon-dated marine sediment core retrieved in Kane Basin, central
Nares Strait, was analysed to constrain the timing of the postglacial opening
of this Arctic gateway and its Holocene evolution. This study is based on a
set of sedimentological and geochemical proxies of changing sedimentary
processes and sources that provide new insight into the evolution of ice
sheet configuration in Nares Strait. Proglacial marine sedimentation at the
core site initiated ca. 9.0 cal ka BP following the retreat of
grounded ice. Varying contributions of sand and clasts suggest unstable sea
ice conditions and glacial activity, which subsisted until ca. 7.5 cal ka BP under the combined influence of warm atmospheric temperatures and
proglacial cooling induced by the nearby Innuitian (IIS) and Greenland (GIS)
ice sheets. An interval rich in ice-rafted debris (IRD) is interpreted as the collapse of the ice
saddle in Kennedy Channel ca. 8.3 cal ka BP that marks the complete
opening of Nares Strait and the initial connection between the Lincoln Sea
and northernmost Baffin Bay. Delivery of sediment by icebergs was
strengthened between ca. 8.3 and ca. 7.5 cal ka BP
following the collapse of the buttress of glacial ice in Kennedy Channel that
triggered the acceleration of GIS and IIS fluxes toward Nares Strait. The
destabilisation in glacial ice eventually led to the rapid retreat of the GIS
in eastern Kane Basin at about 8.1 cal ka BP as evidenced by a noticeable
change in sediment geochemistry in our core. The gradual decrease in
carbonate inputs to Kane Basin between ∼8.1 and
∼4.1 cal ka BP reflects the late deglaciation of Washington
Land. The shoaling of Kane Basin can be observed in our record by the
increased winnowing of lighter particles as the glacio-isostatic rebound
brought the seabed closer to subsurface currents. Reduced iceberg delivery
from 7.5 to 1.9 cal ka BP inferred by our dataset may be linked to the
retreat of the bordering ice sheets on land that decreased their number of
marine termini.
A database of water and heat observations over grassland in the north-east of Japan
Authors: Ma Wenchao , Asanuma Jun , Xu Jianqing , Onda Yuichi
Published: December 2018

Abstract. A highly valuable database of long-term hydrometeorological measurements is
presented, containing in situ observations for a period of 37 years from a
well-maintained grassland in the north-east of Japan. The observations
include shortwave radiation, net radiation, air and dew point temperatures at
three elevations, soil temperature at four depths, sensible heat flux, soil
heat flux, wind speed, relative humidity, air pressure and precipitation. The
heights of measurements are 1.6, 12.5 and 29.5 m above ground, with the
soil-layer observations at depths of 0.02, 0.1, 0.5 and 1 m. This
high-quality database includes four temporal resolutions of 10 s, 0.5 h,
1 h and 24 h, with the hourly data
presented here. Monthly and annual statistics are presented at the database
web page of the Center for Research in Isotopes and Environmental Dynamics
and Prediction of the University of Tsukuba,
http://doi.org/10.24575/0001.198108. We validated the data by comparing
them with published data from the local meteorological agency in Tateno operated
by the Japan Metrological Agency, including the average, maximum and minimum
values of air temperature, shortwave radiation, wind speed, relative
humidity and precipitation. We have generated a daily downward longwave
radiation time series with a method developed by Kondo and Xu (1997) based on
the observations from the database. This constructed time series agrees well
with observations collected between 2002 and 2006, as evaluated based on the
values of the Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (=0.947) and percent bias (=1.486). For the whole database, annually averaged values show a positive
trend in precipitation, air temperature, shortwave radiation, net radiation
and sensible heat flux over the past 37 years, with a negative trend detected
for wind speed, soil heat flux and soil temperature.

Published: December 2018

Abstract. Temporal series maps of irrigated areas, and the
corresponding irrigation water requirements based on remote sensing, is a
recognized tool contributing to water governance at different scales, from
water user associations to whole river basin districts. These thematic
cartographies offer a first estimation of the crop irrigation requirements,
and a biophysical based approach of the temporal and spatial distribution of
the crop water use in the cultivated areas. This work describes the
operational application of these methodologies, providing valuable
information for water governance and management purposes. The basic products
obtained in the whole Spanish part of the Iberian Peninsula during the
period 2014–2017 were: (i) annual maps of irrigated crops based on time
series of multispectral satellite imagery; and (ii) the direct remote
sensing-based water accounting, by quantifying agricultural water flows
(e.g. rainfall, irrigation, evapotranspiration, drainage and recharge),
through a remote sensing-based soil water balance. Hence this paper provides
a remote sensing based water accounting approach, which relies on dense time
series of multispectral imagery acquired by the multisensor constellation
arranged by Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2 satellites, jointly with meteorological
data and agronomic knowledge. Then, based on these purpose and approach,
annual and monthly maps of net irrigation water requirements have been
elaborated at the most practical spatial and temporal scales for water
governance purposes over big areas such river basin districts. This work
summarizes the methodologies used and discuss the technical and
non-technical feasibility of the proposed approach.
Remote sensing vegetation index methods to evaluate changes in greenness and evapotranspiration in riparian vegetation in response to the Minute 319 environmental pulse flow to Mexico
Authors: Nagler Pamela L. , Jarchow Christopher J. , Glenn Edward P.
Published: December 2018

Abstract. During the spring of 2014, 130 million m3 of water were
released from the United States' Morelos Dam on the lower Colorado River to
Mexico, allowing water to reach the Gulf of California for the first time in
13 years. Our study assessed the effects of water transfer or ecological
environmental flows from one nation to another, using remote sensing.
Spatial applications for water resource evaluation are important for
binational, integrated water resources management and planning for the
Colorado River, which includes seven basin states in the US plus two
states in Mexico. Our study examined the effects of the historic binational
experiment (the Minute 319 agreement) on vegetative response along the
riparian corridor. We used 250 m Moderate Resolution Imaging
Spectroradiometer (MODIS), Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) and 30 m Landsat 8 satellite imagery to track
evapotranspiration (ET) and the normalized difference vegetation index
(NDVI). Our analysis showed an overall increase in NDVI and
evapotranspiration (ET) in the year following the 2014 pulse, which reversed
a decline in those metrics since the last major flood in 2000. NDVI and ET
levels decreased in 2015, but were still significantly higher (P < 0.001) than pre-pulse (2013) levels. Preliminary findings show that the
decline in 2015 persisted into 2016 and 2017. We continue to analyse results
for 2018 in comparison to short-term (2013–2018) and long-term (2000–2018)
trends. Our results support the conclusion that these environmental flows
from the US to Mexico via the Minute 319 “pulse” had a positive, but
short-lived (1 year), impact on vegetation growth in the delta.
Nutrition marketing of honey: chemical, microbiological, antioxidant and antimicrobial profile

Published: December 2018

Honey and all bee products have very good biological and chemical properties. They have been used in medicine for a long time. In our study we evaluated twenty polyfloral honey samples, the first ten were commercial honeys from a selected supermarkets with country of origin indicated "blend of EU and non-EU honeys" and represented imported honey. The second ten honeys were from a local beekeepers (Nitra region) and represented the Slovak origin. The aim of the study were to analyze chemical, microbiological, antioxidant, antimicrobial profile of honey and recommend marketing strategies for honey producers by applying nutrition marketing. From chemical point of view, the study examined mineral profile of honeys, antioxidant properties as antioxidant activity, total polyphenols, flavonoid and phenolic acid content and from microbiological view the study evaluated a total count bacteria, coliform bacteria and microscopic filamentous fungi. Results of minerals showed that the most dominant element in commercial honeys is sodium (30 mg.100g-1) followed by calcium, potassium, magnesium and phosphorus. Iron, arsenic and selenium are present only in trace amounts. In local honeys the most dominant element is potassium (84.181 mg.100g-1) followed by calcium, phosphorus, sulfur and magnesium. The presence of hazardous heavy metals (cadmium, lead and chrome) was not detected in either of the samples. Moreover, antioxidant activity determined by the DPPH method was slightly higher in local polyfloral honeys and vice versa the content of total polyphenol, flavonoid and the phenolic acid content was slightly higher in commercial polyfloral honeys. From the microbiological point of view, the total count of bacteria was found only in commercial polyfloral honeys while local honeys were without detectable microorganisms. The best antimicrobial activity was found against gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli in both concentrations of honeys, and the local honeys reached better antimicrobial activity. All in all, honey has very good biological properties and mineral composition which opens opportunities for beekeepers to apply nutrition marketing and target new segments of consumers, e.g. sportsmen, people in convalescence, consumers following healthier lifestyle or seeking functional food. Moreover, educating consumers from a nutritional point of view will foster daily intake of honey and will increase annual consumption of honey in the future.

Objetivo: avaliar a eficácia de um dentifrício, que contém em sua composição extratos vegetais e xilitol para inibição de Streptococcus mutans (UA159). Materiais e método: para verificação da atividade antimicrobiana, foram realizados ensaios in vitro de difusão de ágar, baseados na metodologia da norma M2A8 Anvisa. O estudo foi feito utilizando inóculo de 108 UFC/mL da cepa de S. mutans. O princípio básico foi a difusão de uma solução de dentifrício na superfície do ágar a partir de um disco impregnado. O ensaio foi realizado utilizando como controle negativo água deionizada estéril e como controle positivo clorexidina 0,12%, e foram comparados aos dentifrícios Orgânico Natural® e Colgate Total 12®. O resultado foi analisado a partir da medição dos halos de inibição (mm). Resultados: a clorexidina 0,12% teve maior halo de inibição (21,08 ± 1,02), seguida do dentifrício Orgânico Natural® (11,33 ± 4,35) e do dentifrício Colgate Total 12 (3,93 ± 4,67) P<0,05. Conclusão: a inibição da cepa de S. mutans evidenciada neste ensaio in vitro demonstra o potencial antimicrobiano do dentifrício Orgânico Natural®, mesmo como um possível auxiliar no controle do biofilme dental cariogênico.

O Suporte Básico de Vida (SBV) é um protocolo de atendimento da American Heart Association (AHA) que estabelece o reconhecimento e realização das manobras de ressuscitação cardiopulmonar (RCP) com o objetivo de manter a vítima de parada cardiorrespiratória (PCR) viva até a chegada da unidade de transporte especializada. As manobras são simples e, quando são bem aplicadas pelo socorrista, colaboram para a recuperação com o mínimo de sequelas possíveis para vítima. Na odontologia os pacientes atendidos são constantemente submetidos ao estresse gerado pela fobia e a administração de anestésicos locais; fatores estes que podem interferir no sistema cardiovascular e consequentemente induzir a uma PCR. A utilização da desfibrilação recebe um crescente destaque quanto à prioridade e rapidez no atendimento, sendo definida como um choque elétrico de corrente contínua e curta duração para o retorno do ciclo cardíaco normal. O objetivo é ressaltar a importância do SBV na Odontologia de acordo com as Diretrizes da AHA-2015. O conhecimento teórico-prático é imprescindível para o cirurgião-dentista, pois a sua competência é determinante na sobrevida do paciente. Dessa forma, faz-se necessário a constante capacitação para o desenvolvimento da habilidade prática para obter sucesso no atendimento de parada cardiorrespiratória no consultório odontológico.
Markers of Agency in Preservice Music Teachers: A Directed Content Analysis of Written Coursework
Authors: Rathgeber Jesse , Mantie Roger
Published: December 2018

The purpose of this study was to examine agentic thinking among preservice music teachers through a “directed content analysis” (Hsieh & Shannon, 2005) of the written coursework of 2 cohorts of preservice music teachers (N = 66) enrolled in an introduction to music education course in order to advance knowledge of agentic thinking in music teacher education research and practice. We used a theoretical framework informed by Emirbayer and Mische’s (1998) triadic conception of agency that positions human agency at the nexus of 3 temporally oriented elements: iteration (past), projectivity (future), and practical evaluation (present). We investigated the agentic temporalities of different assignment types and analyzed the agentic vocabulary usage in premidterm and postmidterm assignments by cohort, identified gender, year in school, residency status, major, and applied instrument. We found slight differences in overall agentic vocabulary and vocabulary by agentic element between cohorts. Unexpectedly, we noted a marked decline in overall agentic vocabulary usage in postmidterm written assignments compared to premidterm written assignments. Analysis of change over time by agentic element found decreases in iterative and practical evaluative vocabulary and an increase in projective vocabulary usage in postmidterm written assignments. Findings from key-word-in-context analysis, however, suggest that a decline in agentic vocabulary may be related to a refinement in agentic vocabulary usage and an increased openness to different perspectives and career options. Based on our results, we argue that Emirbayer and Mische’s framework may provide music teacher educators and researchers with a nuanced tool by which to investigate, understand, and foster music teacher agency.

Twitter, perceptions of safety and police image

This article reports briefly on research into the relationship between Twitter use by community police officers and citizens’ perceived safety. To this end, multiple relevant determinants of safety perceptions were included in the study: assessment of objective safety, perceptions of quality of life and social capital, risk perception and opinion on the police. The use of Twitter proved to have a modest, yet significant impact: followers on Twitter report a lower assessment of objective safety and a more positive opinion on the police. No direct, significant relation was found between the use of Twitter by the neighbourhood police officer and citizens’ perceived safety.

It could have been your daughter

Three cases of sexual violence with two teenagers and one young woman as dead victims have put – besides the indescribable sufferings of themselves, their families, friends and acquaintances – a heavy burden on Dutch collective memories of the year 2017. Dutch society commiserated on a massive scale: volunteers helped searching, thousands united in silent marches and more than 400 thousand citizens signed an online petition that emotionally called for a firm revision of the ‘failing justice system’. In this article we explore the deeper social, personal and cultural elements that gave media messages their strong emotional impact in Dutch society.
Terugkoppeling door de rechter, wat moet de wetgever daarvan vinden?

Terugkoppeling door de rechter, wat moet de wetgever daarvan vinden?

In deze bijdrage staat centraal wat de terugkoppeling van de rechter aan de wetgever vraagt van de wetgever. Allereerst wordt geconcludeerd dat ook zonder expliciete terugkoppeling de rechter zich wendt tot de wetgever en dat een expliciete terugkoppeling als zodanig geen verandering in de verhouding tussen rechter en wetgever met zich brengt. Er lijken echter wel tekenen te zijn dat de verhouding tussen rechtspraak en wetgever in beweging is. Daar hoeft de wetgever niet bij te staan kijken. Hij kan door een actieve houding de beweging beïnvloeden. Verschillende mogelijkheden die de wetgever heeft om met inachtneming van de staatsrechtelijke verhoudingen te reageren op rechtspraak en het belang van het tijdig maken van duidelijke keuzes in maatschappelijk gevoelige kwesties door de wetgever zelf, passeren de revue. Ten slotte wordt een oproep gedaan om met elkaar in gesprek te gaan over de kwaliteit van de wetgeving, de betekenis van de jurisprudentie, de overlap tussen politieke afwegingen en rechtsvinding en over de vraag waar de grenzen nu precies liggen.
Is terugkoppeling naar de wetgever een taak van de bestuursrechter?

Is terugkoppeling naar de wetgever een taak van de bestuursrechter? Ja, maar op het juiste moment en op transparante wijze

In welke mate moet de rechter – meer in het bijzonder de Centrale Raad van Beroep (CRvB) – zijn ervaringen met wetgeving rechtstreeks terugkoppelen naar de wetgever? Bij ervaringen valt te denken aan geconstateerde leemtes of tegenstrijdigheden in wet- en regelgeving, aan strijd met hoger recht, aan problemen met overgangsrecht, of meer fundamenteel, aan de gevolgen van (grote) wetgevingsoperaties zoals de ‘decentralisaties’ in het sociaal domein.

Conflict management as an added value in care organisations: a practical story

The hospital sector is not only confronted with the challenges of technical and digital medicine (AI), but also with the expectations of increasingly more talkative patients and their relatives. Luc Van Bauwel introduces you to and testifies about the way in which the ombudsman service of an important hospital group in Antwerp evolved from mere complaint handling as an ombudsservice on the basis of principles of mediation to anchoring the ideas in the liars of management, doctors and other employees; he gives an overview of how the professional ombudsman organized his self and how the surrounding other stakeholders perceived this relatively new ‘ombudsman’ service, which was established by law; how patients have experienced this form of conflict management in the past 15 years, which has been monitored inside the care institution twice in the last 15 years; in the end, he testifies how the acquired/gained trust has grown, as a result of which he now participates on board level in an active role from the very beginning of developing and implementing changes, in the ever-present processes of change, in particular aimed at the doctors associated with the organization.
