La resistencia desde el arte como práctica cultural en la ciudad
Authors: Fragoso Susunaga Olivia
Published: July 2020

El texto aborda el fenómeno de la resistencia como práctica cultural en la ciudad. Para hacerlo se parte del concepto de la “objetividad entre paréntesis” que formula Maturana para comprender el fenómeno de la resistencia como práctica cultural. Se propone que este fenómeno pertenece al campo del discurso y que puede ser comprendido siguiendo las “prácticas semiótico discursivas” de Haidar. La explicación de la resistencia como fenómeno del arte se concibe entonces como práctica cultural, semiótico discursiva, la cual se entiende desde la óptica de la “estética política” de Rancière. Finalmente se plantea que, desde el enfoque de De Certeau, esta práctica es una táctica que, en el ámbito de lo cotidiano, siguen los actores ante las estrategias de dominio.

Authors: Rodríguez-Robayo Karla Juliana , Méndez-López María Elena , Juárez-Téllez Lilián , Peralta-Blanco Rosa Martha
Published: July 2020

El artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la configuración actual de los sistemas socio-ecológicos en ocho municipios de la zona metropolitana de Mérida (Yucatán, México), a partir de la integración de cartografía regional, entrevistas a actores clave y revisión bibliográfica. Los resultados evidencian que, aunque la zona de estudio ha tenido la histórica tendencia hacia los sectores secundario y terciario, en la actualidad hay dos sistemas socio-ecológicos marcadamente diferenciados, que proveen servicios ecosistémicos relevantes para la ciudad: en el norte caracterizado por la pesca, apicultura y turismo y en el sur por la apicultura y agricultura de temporal. Las recomendaciones destacan la relevancia de conservar y promover la relación sociedad-naturaleza con el fin de consolidar sistemas agroalimentarios sostenibles en la zona metropolitana y conectar las zonas de conservación existentes al norte de la zona de estudio con la selva baja; de tal forma que se constituya un corredor que contenga los servicios ecosistémicos ante el creciente desarrollo económico y urbano de la zona metropolitana.
PRACTICES OF INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS IN AN INDIAN SUGAR INDUSTRY: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY
Authors: Ms. N.Anupama  , Prof.G.L.Narayanappa
Published: July 2020

‘JUPITER’ sugars India LTD was founded in the year 1941 in southern India as a private sugar factory. Later it has enhanced its production from 1000 TCD to 8500 TCD in the year 1962. It was amalgamating of many sub units and multi locational products into its main unit. The company has focussed its attention on various projects and substantial resources. Subsequently, they have decided to organise the company into two units one in southern India and one in northern India.
The sugar industry workers today are progressively taught and they know about their duties and rights. The executives need to manage them not merely as factors of production; however as people having human pride and dignity. The goal of sugar industry is to change the traditional perspectives of management and labour towards one another and create mutual understanding and co-operation and work towards accomplishment of common goal. Good industrial relations lead to industrial harmony and increase in production sugar industry. Joint consultation among workers and the board paves the way for industrial democracy and they contribute to the growth of the organisation.
THE BEGINNING OF THE EUROPEAN RENAISSANCE
Authors: Mahmudov Otabek
Published: July 2020

In article on the basis of careful analysis of the scientific literature devoted to history of the translations in Spain in XII–XIII centuries, the place of the Toledo school in the formation of the Renaissance process in Europe is revealed. In addition, the historical significance of this school in the translation and study of the works of scholars of the medieval Muslim East is assessed. As a result of the analysis of political, social and cultural processes that took place in the VIIΙ-ΧΙΙ centuries on the Iberian Peninsula, the historical factors that influenced the formation of the Toledo school are established, and it is also proved that the period of mutual synthesis of East and West cultures was the main historical factor in the formation of the school. The scientific and methodological foundations of views on the stages of the Toledo school’s activity, the staff, tasks, as well as translators and scientists who worked at the school are revealed. based on this, it is proved that the Toledo school is the logical beginning of the Renaissance of the West.

Improvement of design method of rock-socketed pile based on the enhancement effect of shaft resistance
Authors: Xing Haofeng , Wu Jin
Published: July 2020

Large diameter rock-socketed piles are usually used to support bridge with long-span or high piers. To research its mechanical properties in mountain area, field loading tests based on distributed fiber sensing technique were performed. The tests results indicate that shaft resistance came into play earlier than tip resistance and the upper load was borne mainly by shaft resistance. When the load-sharing ratio of tip resistance exceeded 10%, the enhancement phenomenon of shaft resistance occurred, which became more and more obvious with the increase of the ratio. The shaft resistance and tip resistance are not independent but interact of each other. The increase of tip resistance can promote the shaft resistance to play its role effectively. According to the field test results, the design method of rock-socketed piles was improved based on the enhancement phenomenon of shaft resistance. The calculation results indicate that the rock-socketed length of pile can be shorten effectively by this method which can obtain considerable economic benefits.
Study on Aeolian Sand Bearing Capacity Based on California Bearing Ratio in the Northwest of China
Authors: Xia Han
Published: July 2020

California Bearing Ratio is a kind of method for testing the bearing capacity of the material. Aeolian sand is wildly distributed in north-west of China, such as Qinghai, Ningxia, Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia. Different sedimentary history and condition makes the sand have different characteristics. This paper aim to testing different moisture content, mud content and gradation affect the Aeolian sand strength and bearing capacity through California Bearing Ratio method. The result of this experience shows that moisture content and mud content have a significant influence of the Aeolian sand strength and bearing capacity. Before the optimal moisture content, the CBR is increased, after the optimal moisture content, the CBR is decreased. Before the optimal mud content, the CBR is increased, after the optimal mud content, the CBR is also decreased. With the increase of compaction, the result of CBR is increasing. Under the same gradation condition, the CBR becomes smaller and smaller with the increase of mud content. Increasing compaction work, the CBR value also increased.
A closed-form solution for stress analysis of hollow circular cylinder structure under non-uniform external load and its engineering application
Authors: Liu Xiaoben
Published: July 2020

Hollow circular cylinder structures are widely used in industry for their high bearing capacity. In some engineering cases, these structures are always subjected to complicated non-uniform external loads. For example, casings used for oil production are subjected to non-uniform ground stresses. In this study, a generalized closed-form analytical solution for stress analysis of hollow circular cylinder under non-uniform external load was derived. The common non-uniform external load was decomposed by Fourier series under the principle of superposition by theory of elasticity. Analytical solutions for stress results of sine or cosine series external load problems were obtained by the semi-inverse method. A baseline analysis of a casing under non-uniform ground stress was presented using the proposed analytical method and the finite element method to validate the accuracy of the proposed analytical model. A parametric analysis was conducted finally to discuss the effects of non-uniform coefficients on the stress results. Results show that, the hollow circular cylinder structure’s anti-collapse capacity will be strongly weakened, when the non-uniform coefficient increases. This proposed analytical model can be referenced in strength verification of hollow circular cylinder structures in engineering practice.

Environmental contamination poses a real threat to the environment and all organisms. Air pollution has increased markedly due to an increase in human activities and petroleum use for electricity generation, transportation, and industrial applications. Internal combustion engines play a significant role in society’s health and power requirements. However, automobiles are the main source of pollution and NOX emissions. This work presents a study of the performance and exhaust emissions of an internal combustion engine fuelled by gasoline available in the Saudi Arabian market, RON91/RON95, with an admixture of syngas and 5% by volume pure ethanol (E5) in the presence of different ultra-lean mixture regimes, including λ=1 for a stoichiometric mixture. The studied ranges were λ=1.13, λ=1.26, λ=1.43, and λ=1.67. An entirely automated engine and plasma converter system was developed for feeding the same type of fuel. The engine was modified for a more efficient operation by introducing a plasma-based fuel reformer. Syngas was produced through the partial oxidation of gasoline with air in a plasma-assisted fuel reformer in the presence of steam to reduce the amount of soot formed in the plasma reactor. The fuel consumption and related emissions were measured. The experimental results demonstrated a significant total reduction of NOx emissions compared with those from the original engine. The most obvious reduction (approximately 50%) of harmful pollution was observed under lean conditions, and the total gasoline consumption (including the gasoline required for the plasma-assisted converter) slightly increased. The results also showed that the NOx content for these new blends was lower using E5-gasoline 91 than that using E5-gasoline 95 and was generally lower using E5-gasoline 91 and syngas than that using E5-gasoline 95 and syngas.

Authors: MALEKI Mohammad , MOHAMMADPOUR Saber , AZADEH Seyed Reza
Published: July 2020

This article examines the impacts of Infrastructural integration of Regional transport (IIRT) on tourism and the idea of using IIRT to promote tourism. The process of striving for IIRT requires a number of factors to be operationalized, among which the most common are: multimodal terminals (MMT), shared stops (SST), highway construction and improvement (HCI), and railway construction and improvement (RCI). The aim of this article is to evaluate the impacts of IIRT factors on the factors which lead towards the promotion of tourism. The results showed that Guilan province, despite of profiting with all four major transportation modes, has a lack of infrastructural integration among all transportation modes. Furthermore, it was concluded that IIRT can have a significant effect on the promotion of tourism and it can be used as an approach to promote the tourism industry of Guilan province with using several strategies in this regard.

Authors: Gowa Yasintha , Wahab Thalib Sabra B. , Londa Yulita
Published: July 2020

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) is a form of community small business and is one of the home industry businesses that has experienced rapid development. Most SMEs still use simple or conventional cost accounting methods in calculating the cost of production while the business world is currently experiencing increasingly rapid development so it must require a current report that is quite accurate and reliable. Direct costing is a method of determining the cost of production that only takes into account variable production costs or which directly affects production volume. Direct costing is often called variable costing and marginal costing.

This study aims to determine the implementation of the direct costing method in Nangaba VCO SMEs in addition to knowing the classification of costs in calculating the cost of production using the direct costing method. This type of research is qualitative. Analysis of the data used is a qualitative descriptive analysis which is an analysis that describes or provides an overview of how to determine the cost of goods using variable costing or direct costing in the Nangaba Ende VCO industry.

The results of this study indicate that there are differences in the calculation of the cost of production and the net profit made by the company much lower when compared to using the calculation by the direct costing method.

Published: July 2020

The tomato leaf miner (TLM), Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), is one of the major pests that attacks commercial tomato. TLM is becoming resistant to many of the pesticides used in the tomato fields. A potential alternative method of control is host plant resistance, which may be mediated by glandular trichomes. We studied glandular and non-glandular trichomes potentially related to tomato resistance of nine tomato genotypes (Lycopersicon hirsutum Humb & Bonpl), extensively cultivated in western Iran. The antixenosis and/or antibiosis effect of the genotypes Mobil, Falat 3, Cal J N3, Dehghan, Super Strain B, Río Grande, King Ston, Early Urbana and Peto Mech were evaluated under greenhouse conditions (25 ± 1°C, 65 ± 5% R.H., photoperiod of L16: D8 h). TLM elicited the lowest egg-laying response on Peto Mech, Río Grande and King Ston; and the highest one on Dehghan. King Ston and Mobil allowed the lowest and highest larvae density on the leaves, respectively. The highest preference was observed on Mobil and the lowest one on Río Grande and King Ston. Moreover, trichome type and density of the assayed genotypes appeared to be related to TLM population density: the most infested genotype (Mobil and Cal J N3) displayed the lowest IV and VI trichome style ranks of leaf blade, vein and domatia (glandular trichomes). Significant negative relations were found between egg and larvae density with leaf I style trichome; and also larvae and adult density with IV and V style trichome. Finally, this preliminary study screened two genotypes (Río Grande and King Ston) quite promising for developing resistance programs in western Iran against TLM.

Published: July 2020

Our investigation targeted the diversity of spider communities of meadows under nature conservation management and the relationship between mowing and the spider diversity. The study sites represented by six grasslands on three localities of Mátra mountain of Hungary. All three localities were contained a hay meadow and a not mowed meadow. Hay meadows had the richest spider communities.  In the control habitats, the equitability and the Shannon-Wiener diversity were lower than in the mowed grasslands. According to the Bray-Curtis similarity index significant differences were observed between spider assemblages of mowed and control habitats. The prevention of succession effects so rich structure of the vegetation where diverse spider communities can live. Our results suggest that mowing is a suitable management for maintaining a high biodiversity in mountain grasslands.
SILKS AND SILK-PRODUCING ORGANS OF NEOTROPICAL TARANTULA AVICULARIA METALLICA (ARANEAE, MYGALOMORPHAE, THERAPHOSIDAE)
Authors: Hajer Jaromír , Karschová Simona , Řeháková Dana
Published: July 2020

Silks and silk-producing organs of the theraphosid species Avicularia metallica were studied using scanning electron microscopy. The spinning apparatus is made up of two pairs of spinnerets located at the end of the ventral side of the opisthosoma. Both pairs of spinnerets are equipped with spigots (modified setae), i.e. external outlets of silk-producing glands which, in the case of posterior lateral spinnerets, are present on all three segments.The secreted silk, which hardens when exposed to air, is processed by movements of spinnerets and the opisthosoma. An investigation of spinning activity revealed two different manners in which silk is affixed to the ground: (1) by smearing silk secretion directly onto the surface of the substratum; or (2) by attaching silken fibers onto a layer of adhesive silk of attachment fields. The fibers connecting the walls of tubular shelters to the silk of attachment fields are essentially bundles of parallel nanofibrils. The connection between multifibrillar connecting fibers and the adhesive silk of attachment fields is, in essence, “silk-to-silk” connection. Nanoglobules (spherical subunits) are the basic microstructural blocks in the studied silk materials irrespective of whether the fibrils are a part of the tube, connecting fibers, or attachment fields. SEM images showed that the liquid silk, running through spigot ducts, has two components, which do not mix as they leave the spigots. The peripheral component of the solidified protein mixture surrounds the central component, which has a granular appearance

A Wind-driven Model: Application to Peculiar Transients AT2018cow and iPTF14hls
Authors: Uno Kohki , Maeda Keiichi
Published: July 2020

We propose a wind-driven model for peculiar transients, and apply the model to AT2018cow and iPTF14hls. In the wind-driven model, we assume that a continuous outflow like a stellar wind is injected from a central system. While these transients have different observational properties, this model can explain their photometric properties which are not reproduced by a supernova-like instantaneous explosion. Furthermore, the model predicts characteristic spectral features and evolution, which are well in line with those of AT2018cow and iPTF14hls. Despite the different observational properties, the wind model shows that they have some common features; the large mass-loss rates (up to

for AT2018cow and

for iPTF14hls), and the characteristic radii of

for the launch of the wind. It would indicate that both may be related to events involving a red supergiant (RSG), in which the RSG envelope is rapidly ejected by an event at a stellar core scale. On the other hand, the main differences are the kinetic energies, the total ejected mass, and the timescales. We then suggest that iPTF14hls may represent a dynamical common-envelope evolution induced by a massive binary system (

). AT2018cow may be either a tidal disruption event of a low-mass RSG by a black hole (BH), or a BH-forming failed supernova.

We test whether the population of “extreme” trans-Neptunian objects (eTNOs) detected in the first four years of the Dark Energy Survey (DES Y4) data exhibit azimuthal asymmetries that might be evidence of gravitational perturbations from an unseen super-Earth in a distant orbit. By rotating the orbits of the detected eTNOs, we construct a synthetic population that, when subject to the DES selection function, reproduces the detected distribution of eTNOs in the orbital elements a, e, and i as well as absolute magnitude H, but has uniform distributions in mean anomaly

, longitude of ascending node Ω, and argument of perihelion ω. We then compare the detected distributions in each of Ω, ω, and the longitude of perihelion

to those expected from the isotropic population, using Kuiper’s variant of the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. The three angles are tested for each of four definitions of the eTNO population, choosing among a > (150, 250) au and perihelion q > (30, 37) au. These choices yield 3–7 eTNOs in the DES Y4 sample. Among the 12 total tests, two have the likelihood of drawing the observed angles from the isotropic population at p < 0.03. The three detections at a > 250 and q > 37 au and the four detections at a > 250 and q > 30 au have a Ω distribution with p ≈ 0.03 coming from the isotropic construction, but this is not strong evidence of anisotropy given the 12 different tests. The DES data taken on their own are thus consistent with azimuthal isotropy and do not require a “Planet 9” hypothesis. The limited sky coverage and object count mean, however, that the DES data by no means falsify this hypothesis.
Possible Evidence of p-modes in Cassini Measurements of Saturn’s Gravity Field
Authors: Markham Steve , Durante Daniele , Iess Luciano , Stevenson Dave
Published: July 2020

We analyze the range-rate residual data from Cassini’s gravity experiment that cannot be explained with a static, zonally symmetric gravity field. We reproduce the data using a simple forward model of gravity perturbations from normal modes. To do this, we stack data from multiple flybys to improve sensitivity. We find a partially degenerate set of normal-mode energy spectra that successfully reproduce the unknown gravity signal from Cassini’s flybys. Although there is no unique solution, we find that the models most likely to fit the data are dominated by gravitational contributions from p-modes between 500 and 700 μHz. Because f-modes at lower frequencies have stronger gravity signals for a given amplitude, this result would suggest strong frequency dependence in normal-mode excitation on Saturn. We predict peak amplitudes for p-modes on the order of several kilometers, at least an order of magnitude larger than the peak amplitudes inferred by Earth-based observations of Jupiter. The large p-mode amplitudes we predict on Saturn, if they are indeed present and steady state, would imply weak damping with a lower bound of Q > 107 for these modes, consistent with theoretical predictions.
Les expositions universelles, entre écofictions et paysages du progrès ? Dubaï 2020 & Osaka 2025
Authors: Ballester Patrice
Published: July 2020

Les paysages d’une exposition universelle ne restituent jamais une vision neutre et objective de la nature environnante. Pour devenir un paysage, l’environnement est décomposé puis recomposé par les politiciens, les architectes, les urbanistes et les paysagistes déformant et traduisant selon leurs propres critères esthétiques une civilisation ; ceci par des mots, des langages, des plastiques et surtout une conjonction sensible entre perçu et vécu, imaginé et détourné par le jeu des représentations. À travers une exposition à venir, Dubaï 2020, proposant un portrait de ville difficilement soutenable et Osaka 2025, une exposition universelle en devenir, nous abordons les fondations mêmes d’une écofiction pour le tourisme mondial en proie à la sacro-sainte dialectique concernant les effets durables de l’éphémère. Le paysage des expositions universelles est d’une certaine façon une sorte de médiane, une trajectoire, trajective mésologique selon Augustin Berque, voulant faire d’un environnement de nature urbaine une identité propre, mais avec un caractère universel et humaniste. Néanmoins, elles portent en elles-mêmes les germes de leur propre fin ou d’un principe d’espérance à caractère utopique très souvent imparfait.
Le goût amer du miel : penser un avenir commun pour l’abeille, l’homme et la planète
Authors: Latour David
Published: July 2020

La crise actuelle de l’effondrement des colonies d’abeilles est une occasion pour l’homme de s’interroger sur la gravité de la situation dans laquelle se trouve l’abeille par sa faute. En effet, à cause, entre autres, de la monoculture, de l’utilisation de pesticides et de l’introduction de nombreux parasites, l’homme est le principal responsable du CCD («  Colony Collapse Disorder  »). Cela est d’autant plus paradoxal que l’avenir de nombreuses vies, dont celle des hommes, dépend quasi exclusivement de l’activité de cet insecte pollinisateur qui existe depuis des temps immémoriaux. Un autre paradoxe est qu’au lieu de prendre soin de l’abeille, l’homme l’exploite entre autres pour son miel, sa gelée royale ou sa cire, maltraitant voire tuant de nombreuses abeilles. Un autre modèle relationnel plus éthique doit être imaginé par l’homme afin de partager la planète avec l’abeille.
Les Espèces Exotiques Envahissantes : les mal-aimées
Authors: Yengué Jean Louis , Boureau Matthias
Published: July 2020

Les termes fléaux, cauchemars, nuisibles, sont récurrents pour qualifier les Espèces Exotiques Envahissantes (EEE) dans les médias, mais aussi dans les outils de sensibilisation destinés au public. On parle de chasse, de lutte, de combat, de guerre et même d’extermination massive pour les éradiquer. Mais pourquoi tant d’aversion face à ces espèces ? Sur quoi celle-ci est-elle construite ? Quels sont les concepts utilisés pour ancrer leur caractère indésirable ? Par une revue de la littérature, nous proposons une analyse critique de la notion de EEE. La mobilisation des sciences humaines et sociales, dans un sujet éminemment écologique, ouvre de nouvelles perspectives. Mais les EEE soulèvent d’autres questions qui relèvent de la philosophie, de l’éthique, du rapport à soi et aux autres. Les certitudes s’effritent, les nuances se renforcent, les arguments s’entrechoquent. Il s’ensuit des débats scientifiques, parfois vifs mais toujours constructifs, qui inscrivent désormais les EEE dans le champ des Humanités environnementales.
Imaginaire du big data dans les sociétés modernes contemporaines
Authors: Desmaret-Bastien Marie-Christine
Published: July 2020

À travers les récits de Laurent Alexandre, La guerre des intelligences , et de Yuval Noah Harari, Homo deus, l’étude se propose d’interroger l’imaginaire des sociétés digitales, entre fantasme et réalité, entre pratiques et prospective. La confrontation des deux textes de la pensée contemporaine autour des enjeux du numérique est l’occasion de questionner les représentations à l’œuvre dans des discours contradictoires. La digitalisation des sociétés est-elle le lieu du devenir machinique de l’humanité ou l’espace de circulation de nouvelles formes de savoirs ? Dans quelle mesure l’outil technologique redessine-t-il les contours de l’épistémologie et le rapport aux objets dans la perspective d’une humanité augmentée ? Entre asservissement et instrument de libération, il s’agit de déterminer comment le sens se dessine à travers la radicale nouveauté et de cerner les contours de la révolution globale en cours, obligeant à penser l’homme et le monde autrement.
Au-delà de la socialité. Chatroulette et les nouvelles subjectivités dans le réseau numérique
Authors: Bovalino Guerino Nuccio
Published: July 2020

Cet article propose une étude sur le site Chatroulette, entendu comme format qui incarne le mieux la nouvelle perspective de l’anthropologie humaine déclenchée par le web. La réflexion construit un itinéraire autour des modifications du corps et des liens sociaux en mettant l’accent sur la reproduction numérique du corps acéphale que Georges Bataille et sa communauté intellectuelle ont choisi comme sceau esthétique.
Arthroplasty Surgeons Do Not Improve Acute Outcomes for Patients With Hip Fracture Relative to Other Subspecialists

Published: July 2020

As bundled reimbursement models continue to evolve, there is a continued effort to increase the value of care for patients undergoing arthroplasty. The authors sought to evaluate the effect of surgeon specialization (arthroplasty vs non-arthroplasty) on acute outcomes for patients with hip fracture who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA), in an effort to determine whether the value of care can be improved by surgeons specializing in these procedures. They performed a multicenter retrospective cohort study of patients who had hip fracture and were treated with THA between June 2013 and February 2018 at 2 academic institutions that were involved in bundled reimbursement initiatives. Patients were stratified based on the subspecialty training of the operative surgeon (fellowship-trained adult reconstruction vs other orthopedic sub-specialty), and 90-day readmissions, length of stay, and discharge disposition were compared between groups. A total of 291 patients were included in the final cohort, with 120 (41.2%) undergoing surgery performed by a fellowship-trained adult reconstruction surgeon. No significant difference was found in age, sex, race, or American Society of Anesthesiologists score between the 2 groups. In addition, no significant difference was found in length of stay, discharge to a facility, or 90-day readmissions on univariable or multivariable analysis when adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, and American Society of Anesthesiologists score. This study showed that the acute outcomes used to assess the value of care for patients undergoing THA were not significantly different when the surgery was performed by an adult reconstruction specialist compared with other orthopedic surgeons at 2 high-volume academic centers with perioperative care pathways. Alternative modalities to significantly improve acute postoperative outcomes in a bundled reimbursement model must be investigated. [
