Insurance and Indemnity Problems in Offshore Drilling Operations
Authors: Hope-Ross W. J.
Published: December 2018

This paper examines marine insurance and indemnity as it relates to offshore drilling. It looks at obvious natural risks which are difficult to insure against, and then discusses Hull insurance, which is the insurance on the "hull and machinery" of seagoing vessel; Protection and Indemnity insurance, which is the "public liability" coverage for shipowners; Tower's Liability insurance which is commonly overlooked by small operators, but which is essential to protect against loss of the drilling barge when it is under tow; and Excess Liability or "Umbrella" insurance which is additional insurance monies, or secondary insurance coverage, for public liability. In discussing indemnity provisions, the author suggests that present indemnity clauses are not entirely satisfactory and that better approach may be an agreed proportioning of the risk in the individual contracts. Workmen's Compensation has jurisdictional problem in Canadian waters; both as between the federal and provincial governments and as between the United States and Canada. Added employer's liability coverage is the recommendation.
Considerations in the Search and Exploration for Minerals in British Columbia
Authors: Mackay John R.
Published: December 2018

In the following article, Mr. Mackay discusses the acquisition and develop ment of mineral property under the provisions of the Mineral Act of British Columbia. The writer reviews three main types of agreements (and the more important terms of the various agreements) used for the acquisition of an "interest" in mineral claim. Financing is requisite of any exploration and development activity, and the author examines various sources of funds available for financing in the mining industry, concentrating on the most common method, incorporating company to take over the development of the mining property, with particular emphasis on the various procedural steps which must be followed before public offering can be made. Finally, Mr. Mackay briefly examines the problem of placing mineral property into commercial production.

Royalty Trusts
Authors: Brussa John A.
Published: December 2018

This article outlines several key economic and income tax aspects of the royalty trust financing form. The author describes various ways to structure a royalty trust, to ensure that it will function as a successful financing vehicle with the ability to take maximum advantage of certain tax consequences which are enumerated by the author. Three variations of the royalty trust structure are identified by the author: (a) the classic royalty trust, (b) the income trust, and (c) the acquisition royalty trust. Each of the three variations are distinguished on the basis of their economic utility, and in particular their structure and their resulting tax implications — the greatest attention being given to the classic royalty trust variant. The author concludes that notwithstanding the complexity of these structures, royalty trusts can provide a flexible financing vehicle, having the ability to achieve desirable economic results.

What Canadian Oil and Gas Companies Need to Know about U. S. Antitrust Laws
Authors: Arnold Theresa J.
Published: December 2018

The author presents an introduction to and a cautionary warning about the idiosyncrasies, complexities and dangers of U.S. antitrust law for the Canadian oil and gas industry in a post-NAFTA economic and legal reality. Pre-NAFTA transborder Canadian rules, customs and business practices in the oil and gas industry may have to be reconsidered in light of the serious implications of U.S. antitrust jurisprudence to date. The reach and the scope of U.S. Title 15 Trade and Commerce legislation, such as the Sherman Act, the Clayton Act, the Robinson-Patman Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Foreign Trade Antitrust Improvements Act, and the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, are outlined and presented. The author also describes the powers and authority of the United States Department of Justice, the United States Federal Trade Commission, the state attorneys general, and the "private" attorneys general to launch civil actions, class actions and criminal prosecutions serially, concurrently or in combination should an unwary foreign or domestic person run afoul of US. antitrust law. In addition, the author discusses the relevant leading case law, legal tests and legal principles, remedies, penalties, consequences and pitfalls of U.S. antitrust law.

Due Diligence in Disclosing Environmental Information for Securities Transactions
Authors: Denstedt Shawn H. T. , Miller Scott R.
Published: December 2018

Society's increasing awareness of and interest in environmental matters has had a direct effect upon the public offering process. New environmental laws impose increasing obligations upon a company, placing greater demands upon available capital and giving rise to increased concern about current or future environmental obligations. Similarly, the public's interest in, or perception of, the environmental performance of a company may significantly affect the company's ability to raise funds through such an offering. As a result, the disclosure of environmental information is of increased importance to the public, the underwriter, the issuing company and its officers and directors. The process of environmental disclosure is, however, complicated by a variety of factors. Environmental matters are not always easily identified or quantifiable and future environmental effects are difficult to predict. Given such imprecision, issues of materiality are likely to arise. As a result, both the issuing company and the underwriter must ensure that there has been a thorough and complete investigation of existing and potential environmental concerns in order to provide reasonable assurance that the disclosures that are made in the course of a due diligence review are true and that there are no omissions of material facts. This article discusses many of the concerns that arise with respect to environmental disclosure and provides practical examples of the methods and techniques that have been used to ensure "full, true and plain disclosure".

While these types of laws have similar purposes, there are differences in the standards applied and the consequences imposed. For those projects where both regimes may apply, hidden pitfalls may exist. This article examines the collision of these types of regimes and the constitutional issues that such collisions create, and attempts to clearly delineate under which circumstances each regime will apply.
The Effect of Low Oil and Gas Prices on Freehold Oil and Gas Leases: A Problem of Interpretation
Authors: Bartlett Richard H.
Published: December 2018

Freehold oil and gas leases seek to reconcile the interests of the lessor and the lessee by providing in the habendum a clause for an initial primary term and "so long thereafter as there is production''. Both Canadian and United States jurisprudence indicate that leases will terminate if production is not' 'in paying quantities''.

A test as to whether or not oil or gas is being produced in paying quantities is whether the value of the oil or gas produced exceeds the operating costs. If production fails this test then it must be considered whether a reasonably prudent operator would have continued to produce the well. It is suggested that a slight loss due to a temporary fall in price will not necessarily terminate a lease. But if the well was marginal before the fall in price, or if it extends over a substantial period of time, the holding of the lease by the lessee will most likely be construed as mere speculation.

Further, most shut-in clauses do not assist the lessee. Vie clauses generally assume the existence of a well capable of production ' 'in paying quantities''. However, the actual wording must govern and some clauses provide for ' 'economical "or" 'unprofitable'' markets and thereby specifically address the lessee's dilemma.

Initiating a Non-Anthropocentric Jurisprudence: The Rule of Law and Animal Vulnerability Under a Property Paradigm
Authors: Deckha Maneesha
Published: December 2018

This article discusses a recent Canadian entry to the accretion of legal texts which question, to various degrees, law’s anthropocentrism: the dissenting judgment of the Alberta Court of Appeal in Reece v. Edmonton (City of). Written by Chief Justice Catherine Fraser, the 162-paragraph dissent stands out in the Canadian landscape (and is impressive even in the international scene) given the existing Canadian law addressing animal issues that either regulate animals as objects and/or subordinate animal interests to human or corporate ones. This article argues that the dissent in Reece departs from the standard legal instrumentalist view of animals by providing a non-anthropocentric analysis of the animal interests at stake. The decision thus provides a new way of thinking about animals when compared to the existing Canadian jurisprudence. The dissent’s departure from the traditional anthropocentric legal view of animals is seen in three main ways: (1) the level of importance it assigns to the animal interest legally at issue by connecting it to the rule of law; (2) the respect it affords to critiques of animals’ current legal status (including the animal rights critique seeking to abolish the property status of animals and the default subordination of animal interests to human or corporate ones); and (3) the empathy and respect it gives to the individual animal at the heart of the legal dispute by recognizing her as a sentient and vulnerable being whose subjectivity matters. The cumulative effect is a judgment that not only provides the most sophisticated Canadian judicial analysis to date of the law’s relationship to animals, but impugns the traditional anthropocentric paradigm through which the law minimally responds to (some) animal suffering.
Competing with Ourselves: Supply-side Competition for Corporate Charters in Canada
Authors: Jameson Glenford
Published: December 2018

This article considers the Canadian interjurisdictional corporate law framework and assesses whether, from a supply side, there is a competitive market for corporate charters in Canada. The article considers two opposing views on whether Canadian corporate law jurisdictions compete with each other and discusses political, legal, and institutional barriers to competitive corporate law production in Canada. Corporate law reform in Quebec, specifically the development of the Quebec Business Corporations Act, is examined as an example of how barriers to corporate competition can be overcome.
Gait Analysis after Unilateral Total Hip Replacement Surgery
Authors: Hamandi Sadiq J. , Azzawi Marwa , Abdulwahed Waleed
Published: December 2018

Total hip replacement (THR) is an elective surgical procedure with the primary indication being pain relief. The aim of this study is to analyze gait dynamics for patients after they underwent a unilateral THR surgery and compare it with normal parameters. To investigate the gait dynamics a gait analysis was performed on five patients after they underwent a unilateral THR surgery; only two of them were examined before the surgery. The gait analysis was performed using a digital video camera with two force plates. Kinematics data were obtained from 2D trajectories of seven passive markers using SkillSpector software. MATLAB software has been used for inverse dynamics computation. General gait parameters, Harris Hip Score, joints’ angles, forces, moments and powers were obtained during gait cycle. It was found that the average of improvement in Harris Hip Score (for four patients who were examined 1.5, 2.5, 3 and 9 months after surgery) is 61.8 points, which is an indication of pain relief. In the other hand, the general gait parameters were found slightly lower than normal after THR surgery. The average hip reaction force was found to be 2.988 N/BW, which is within normal range. Also, the average of maximum hip extension and maximum hip flexion angles were found to be 25.69 and -13.524 degree respectively, which both are within normal ranges. Furthermore, hip, knee and ankle moments and powers results showed some abnormality. Therefore as a conclusion, patient satisfaction and functional improvement are not related to general gait parameter. And it is not unusual that gait mechanics improvement would not reach normal after months of recovery. Also, the results of gait dynamics which are from the engineer’s perspective are compatible with Harris Hip Score, which is from the physician’s perspective, in quantifying surgical results and subsequent recovery progress.
Deposition Hydroxyapatite /Titania Composite on Ti-6Al-7Nb Alloy for Human Body Implants
Authors: Hamdi Dunya Abdulsahib
Published: December 2018

The microstructural analysis and electrochemical measurements tests were used to investigate the behaviors of (TiO2) and (HAp)-coated Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy in the SBF solution .By using RF sputtering, a thin TiO2 layer coated  the substrate, while a thick layer of HAp coated the outer side of surface. The generated middle layer consist of  the  composite of TiO2 and HAp which is by AFM characterized as uniformly distributed coating system with nano size. The images of the scan electron microscopy (SEM) shows that there is no any cracking observed in the outer layer of tested samples due to the use of thin film TiO2 as mid lead to reduce the difference in the thermal expansion between the HAp material and Ti-6Al-7Nb substrate .The HAp upper layer significantly improve the bioactivity of the Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy. In this study, the bonding strength and the corrosion resistance was improved by using thin layer of TiO2. From electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) study Bod plot, the composite layer of TiO2 and HAp was suggested by the capacitive act as barrier layer coated substrate and prevent the relays of the ion from metallic. The results shows the values of Rox (309.2 k? cm2)are greater than for Rct(19.2 k? cm2), by assumes the presence  oxide film increases for coated substrate are greater than that of uncoated, which is a result of the presence of coated film that improve the corrosion resistance of the sample.

Seiring dengan berkembangnya teknologi informasi yang semakin pesat, kemampuan untuk mengakses dan menyediakan informasi ke pengguna semakin cepat dan akurat. Maka dari itu, melindungi informasi tersebut terhadap pihak yang tidak berwenang merupakan suatu hal yang penting. Kriptografi dapat digunakan karena kriptografi adalah salah satu bidang pengembangan teknologi informasi untuk mengamankan data atau pesan yang bersifat pribadi dan rahasia. Sehingga, dibutuhkan sebuah pengamanan untuk mencegah hal-hal yang tidak di inginkan. Dalam hal ini proses pengiriman pesan akan melakukan enkripsi (plainteks ke ciphertext) dan penerima pesan perlu dilakukan dekripsi (ciphertext ke plainteks), Algoritma yang akan   digunakan adalah algoritma simetrik “American Encryption Standard” (AES) 256-bit dan asimetrik (RSA). Pengujian performa (ukuran dan time-proses), keutuhan (“data integrity”), kerahasiaan, dan “non-repudiation” keamanan data atau pesan dengan metode algoritma di atas akan merujuk pada 4 (empat) tujuan kriptografi modern dikembangkan. Algoritma tersebut digunakan untuk menyandikan data yang disimpan dalam file dokumen dan mengimplementasinya menggunakan bahasa Python 3.0 dan beberapa aplikasi yang didukung. Dan hasil proses perancangan dan pengujian data (teks maupun gambar) diperoleh tidak mengalami perubahan yang signifikan, akan tetapi enkripsi/dekripsi pada metode algoritma RSA jauh lebih lambat dibandingkan kinerja time-processing metode algoritma AES

Pathfinder: e-Estonia as the β-version
Authors: Drechsler Wolfgang
Published: December 2018

Estonia is often presented as the leading Digital Governance country globally, but this is not backed up by any of the standard rankings. This essay attempts to answer why this is so, by demonstrating that while the official communications strategy of the Estonian Government emphasizes the country's role as a pathfinder, global media demand, and some of the local protagonists also push, the perfection narrative. This is partially related to the specific historical and geopolitical situation of Estonia, and the subsequent local attitude towards the (Nation) State, which renders (since it is rather unique) the Estonian overall model of only limited use for e-policy transfer.

Authors: Molinari Paula Maria Aristides de Oliveira , Fonterrada Marisa Trench de Oliveira
Published: December 2018

Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar e discutir a imanência da Música como área de conhecimento essencial no processo de formação de educadores. Partindo de uma visão colaborativa de pesquisa e dos recursos que apontam a Pesquisa Educacional Baseada em Arte, a A/r/tografia e a Etnosonia como método, desenvolve-se o percurso metodológico. O desenvolvimento de uma cultura auditiva significativa envolve Ecologia Acústica. A prática intercultural requer uma visão que envolve, no mínimo, a Sociologia e a Psicologia. Por sua vez, a Ecologia Acústica envolve Acústica, Psicologia, Sociologia e Música, e, portanto, foi tomada como caminho de encontro rumo à experiência intercultural na redescoberta da cultura auditiva significativa. Em ambientes de Ensino Superior alocados fora dos grandes centros urbanos, a rica diversidade cultural impõe aos educadores uma flexibilidade calcada na sensibilidade. Este estudo contribui para elucidar os alicerces que podem conduzir uma ação docente exitosa tomando-se a ecologia de saberes como paradigma qualitativo de formação em todos os níveis.

Oryantiring
sporu bilinmeyen bir bölgedeki işaret veya kontrol noktalarını harita ve pusula
yardımıyla bulma faaliyetidir. Oryantiring bireyleri hem fiziksel hem de zihinsel anlamda geliştirmektedir. Oryantiring sporunda genellikle ormanlık arazilerin tercih edilmesi sebebiyle Nevşehir ilk etapta pek uygun görülmemiştir. Oryantiringin yaygınlaşması ve çeşitli sahalarda
uygulanmasıyla birlikte ilin uygun olduğu görülmüştür. Nevşehir’de peri
bacalarının yaygın olduğu alanlarda oryantiring yapılmaya başlanmış ve taş
orman deyimi ortaya çıkmıştır. Oryantiring sporu Nevşehir’de yapılan diğer
birçok doğa sporu gibi bazı negatif sonuçlar doğurmaktadır. Örneğin oryantiring
müsabakaları sırasında bazı bitki türleri koparılabilir. Yine oryantiring alanı
içerisinde yer alan canlılar korkutulabilir. Müsabaka sahalarında toprak
sıkışması olabilir. Toprağa infiltre olamayan sular yüzeysel akışa geçerek
erozyona sebebiyet verebilir. Yarışma yapılan doğaya zarar verecek maddeler
atılabilir.

Oryantiring
Nevşehir ili için önemli bir değerdir. Oryantiring etkinliklerinin turizme
katkısı göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır. Oryantiringin Nevşehir doğası üzerindeki
olası negatif etkileri dikkate alınmalı ve uygun sahalar seçilmelidir.
La representación figurativa de la lactancia en el registro arqueológico. Un caso de la Magna Grecia

Los restos arqueológicos, la cultura material, constituyen una prueba testimonial de las vidas de las mujeres y niñas en la Grecia Antigua de gran valor. Las fuentes escritas estuvieron principalmente copadas por varones y reflejan sus ideas y deseos sobre las mujeres y las actividades y procesos de los que eran partícipes; no pretendo, por ello, poner en cuestión la utilidad de las fuentes literarias, sino señalar que al compatibilizarlas con las arqueológicas, epigráficas y con el análisis de los restos biológicos humanos, podemos obtener una visión amplia y compleja de las sociedades del pasado...
Concepciones sobre innovación educativa. ¿Qué significa para los docentes en Chile?
Authors: Pascual Medina Javier , Navío-Gàmez Antonio
Published: December 2018

Resumen:La sociedad del conocimiento, las nuevas reformas y la creciente presión por la mejora escolar han hecho que en Chile sea, más necesario que nunca, innovar en educación. ¿Pero qué entienden los docentes cuando se les exige semejante tarea? El presente artículo tiene por objetivo describir de qué manera los docentes de escuelas y liceos en Chile comprenden el concepto de innovación educativa. Para conocer las concepciones de los docentes se han realizado entrevistas estructuradas, cuyas respuestas fueron analizadas de forma inductiva, complementadas con entrevistas semiestructuradas a un grupo de profesores, y puestas en discusión con lo dicho por la literatura experta. El estudio muestra que para los profesores la innovación educativa no es un concepto unívoco, pero que mayoritariamente la conciben como cambios curriculares, necesarios para adaptarse a los nuevos tiempos y los nuevos alumnos, y orientados a la mejora de los aprendizajes. Además, se concibe como cambios aislados, sin existencia o necesidad de procesos formales de crítica posterior o de institucionalización. Los resultados además sugieren que los docentes conciben la innovación educativa desde un paradigma práctico-reflexivo, pero se sienten condicionados por un sistema que apenas está superando un paradigma tecnológico.
La competencia evaluativa como factor clave en la calidad docente: Percepción de las/os maestras/os en la formación inicial
Authors: Bilbao Martínez Ainhoa , Villa Sánchez Aurelio
Published: December 2018

Resumen:La competencia evaluativa docente destaca por su incidencia en la enseñanza, el aprendizaje y el desarrollo institucional. Su relevancia se hace especialmente manifiesta en la formación básica de maestras/os, donde el alumnado configura buena parte de las representaciones evaluativas que reproducirá al desempeñar el rol docente. El presente trabajo analiza la visión de una muestra de 704 estudiantes de los Grados de Educación Infantil y Primaria sobre la competencia evaluativa del profesorado. La recogida de información se ha realizado por medio de un cuestionario que capta el cumplimiento percibido en cinco factores vinculados a la evaluación: Diseño, Implementación, Control, Resultados y Revisión. El análisis estadístico ofrece una descripción general de la competencia evaluativa advertida por las/os estudiantes y la contrasta en función del grado de competencia docente que subjetivamente atribuyen al profesorado (poco competente, competente o muy competente en su labor docente) competencia docente que subjetivamente atribuyen al profesorado (poco competente, competente o muy competente en su labor docente). Los resultados revelan percepciones significativamente diferentes sobre la práctica evaluativa desarrollada en los tres grupos docentes. La magnitud de tales diferencias es grande en el Diseño evaluativo y el Control técnico, y media para la Implementación, los Resultados y la Revisión. En todas ellas, los promedios que indican una mayor percepción de cumplimiento recaen sobre el profesorado considerado muy competente en la labor docente. Incluso en este caso, el alumnado percibe un amplio margen de mejora en el ejercicio de la competencia evaluativa. La Revisión de la evaluación y el feedback y la proacción a partir de los Resultados representan, a su juicio, los factores menos desarrollados.
Concepciones de los profesores sobre resultados escolares

El estudio ofrece los resultados de una investigación acerca de las concepciones de los profesores sobre los buenos resultados escolares de alumnos en condiciones de pobreza económica y las acciones pedagógicas que sugieren para lograrlo. Participaron 158 profesores que laboran en escuelas de educación básica en la ciudad de Chihuahua. Se utilizó una aproximación cualitativa para categorizar las respuestas a las preguntas abiertas y análisis cuantitativo para contrastar las comparaciones entre frecuencias de respuesta. Los resultados indican que la expectativa de posibilidad de que los niños en condiciones de pobreza pueden obtener resultados de excelencia, está relacionada con quienes expresan acciones pedagógicas en el contexto del salón de clase, mientras que quienes expresan que nula o baja posibilidad de logro de estos alumnos proponen acciones estratégicas que no están directamente relacionadas con la enseñanza aprendizaje. Los resultados fundamentan programas de intervención a partir del campo teórico sobre el cambio (por ej. Watzlawick, Weakland y Fish, 1989), la resiliencia y el Constructivismo Radical (Glasersfeld, 1996), los cuales evidencian la importancia de modificar las concepciones docentes para mejorar los resultados escolares de estudiantes en condiciones de pobreza.
Investigación Escolar Abierta y desarrollo de la meta-cognición en estudiantes de Primaria: Un caso de estudio
Authors: Alonso Rodríguez Yesid , Chiappe Andrés
Published: December 2018

Resumen:El desarrollo de la meta-cognición en niños de edades tempranas es uno de los retos más interesantes que enfrenta el sistema educativo actual dado el efecto que ésta tiene para la consolidación del aprendizaje a lo largo de la vida en una era de sobreabundancia de información, de incertidumbre y de permanentes y acelerados cambios sociales y culturales. En este contexto, se ha encontrado en las Prácticas Educativas Abiertas (PEA) una alternativa emergente de innovación educativa que ofrece una diversidad de elementos útiles para profesores y estudiantes y al mismo tiempo provee un espacio amplio de indagación para los investigadores en educación. En este artículo se describe el proceso y resultados de un estudio de naturaleza cualitativa en el que se presenta una de estas prácticas educativas en particular - la Investigación Escolar Abierta (IEA)- y se describe un caso de implementación de dicha práctica y su efecto en el desarrollo de la meta-cognición en estudiantes de primaria. Dicho estudio se realizó a partir de la exploración de rutinas de pensamiento en los estudiantes, en el marco de algunas actividades de un proceso de investigación escolar de carácter abierto, en especial en actividades que tienen que ver con la observación, el análisis y la indagación. Los resultados muestran que los elementos meta-cognitivos que resultaron fortalecidos fueron la meta-atención, la meta-memoria y la meta-comprensión.

Published: December 2018

Resumen:En este trabajo presentamos una experiencia de taller llevada a cabo en Uruguay con dos formadores de profesores de matemática para el nivel secundario. La experiencia tuvo como objetivo presentar a los formadores un tipo de tareas llamadas actividades novedosas, analizarlas, reflexionar acerca de su potencial para la enseñanza e indagar si estos procesos impactan en el conocimiento didáctico del contenido. Observamos que el análisis de actividades novedosas es una herramienta valiosa para enriquecer el conocimiento didáctico del contenido de los profesores formadores.
Pensamiento del profesorado acerca de los materiales curriculares en la enseñanza natural y social tipologías docentes
Authors: Soto  Rosales Antonio , Travé González Gabriel
Published: December 2018

El uso del libro de texto y de los materiales curriculares de elaboración docente afecta a todos los colectivos implicados en el hecho educativo, constituyendo un aspecto controvertido de la práctica educativa que se necesita investigar. El estudio que se presenta analiza las concepciones y prácticas docentes vinculadas con esta problemática, al objeto de establecer tipologías del profesorado en función de la progresión de sus ideas y prácticas en la enseñanza básica del Medio Natural y Social. El principal instrumento de investigación ha sido una escala tipo Likert de 51 ítems con cuatro opciones de respuesta. Se obtuvo información cuantitativa y cualitativa de 863 maestros (94 centros y 81 localidades andaluzas). El análisis de clúster, triangulado con datos cualitativos, presenta cuatro clúster configurando las tipologías docentes siguientes: profesorado dependiente, funcional, ecléctico y diseñador. Entre las conclusiones, se constata un cambio de tendencia del profesorado en la utilización de materiales, caracterizado por el cuestionamiento del libro de texto que obtiene la menor valoración profesional, frente al incremento de las concepciones de la práctica referidas a la elaboración de materiales docentes con la aportación de las nuevas tecnologías. Se observa finalmente correspondencia entre el nivel de desarrollo profesional del profesorado participante y la tipología docente en la que se ubica.
Jonathan Culler: Teoría, literatura y la posibilidad de la crítica
Authors: BARBEITO VARELA J. Manuel
Published: December 2018

Este ensayo examina el modo en que Jonathan Culler aborda el problema de la posibilidad de la crítica y del papel de la literatura en la realización de esta posibilidad en el contexto postmoderno de cuestionamiento de la verdad. Se prestará especial atención a la trilogía Literary Theory. A Very Short Introduction (1997), The Literary in Theory (2007) y Theory of the Lyric (2015) donde Culler propone el retorno a lo literario sin olvidar las aportaciones de la teoría.Culler defiende la capacidad de la literatura de sustraerse a la determinación de la ideología. En su defensa de esta capacidad se hace sentir tanto la herencia de la estética – la concepción de la imaginación como juego libre de la determinación de las circunstancias materiales y la idea de la conciliación del particular y el universal – como del giro lingüístico. Veremos el alcance de esta posibilidad comparando la textualidad general derrideana, que Culler suscribe, con la “idéalinguisterie”, neologismo acuñado por Alain Badiou para referirse a la reducción de toda realidad a discurso. Concluiremos señalando en qué medida la falta de una teoría de la verdad fuerte impide a Culler ir más allá de la posibilidad de substraerse a la ideología.
Efecto de los nidos de Acromyrmex lobicornis (Formicidae: Myrmicinae) sobre la descomposición de hojarasca, en el desierto del Monte
Authors: Navas Romero Ana Laura , Herrera Moratta Mario Andrés , Zuliani Melina Elizabeth
Published: December 2018

La descomposición es un proceso fundamental de los ecosistemas. En ambientes áridos y semiáridos, estos procesos se ralentizan debido a las condiciones climáticas desfavorables para la actividad microbiana, por lo que, organismos como las hormigas se vuelven claves ya que en sus nidos acumulan materia orgánica como consecuencia de su actividad de forrajeo. Nuestro objetivo fue evaluar la influencia de los nidos de Acromyrmex lobicornis sobre el proceso de descomposición del material circundante. Se enterraron 42 bolsas de hojarasca en 7 arbustos con y sin hormiguero (tres bolsas por arbusto). A los 21, 35 y 60 días, las bolsas fueron retiradas, limpiadas, pesadas, secadas y calcinadas. La tasa de descomposición en nidos de A. lobicornis fue significativamente menor con respecto a la de suelos sin hormigueros. La marcada estacionalidad en el desierto del monte y la esterilización del nido podrían ser algunos de los causantes.
