Edition im Dialog: Das Kompendium des ʿAlī Ufuḳī (Istanbul, Mitte 17. Jahrhundert) in kritischer Edition und historischer Aufführungspraxis
Authors: Haug Judith I.
Published: November 2019

The compendium of the Polish-born Ottoman court musician and interpreter ʿAlī Ufuḳī/Albert Bobowski, MS Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale, Turc 292, is a crucial source of the history of music in the Ottoman Empire and at the same time a highly individual document. On 626 pages it contains notations of the most diverse genres, song texts and many marginal notes relating to various aspects of music. Composed between the 1630 s and 1670 s in Istanbul, it can be understood as a still image of the predominantly oral tradition. This results in special challenges to edition and performance practice. In exchange with three Turkish experts in the fields of performance, musicology and instrument building, the present contribution explores possible interpretations and inspirations for a historically informed performance practice of Ottoman music on the basis of ʿAlī Ufuḳī’s notations.
Performanz in der Briefkommunikation und ihre editorische Repräsentation
Authors: Strobel Jochen
Published: November 2019

Letters as a form of communication gain their meanings not least by performative practices hints of which are clearly shown in their materiality. Vice versa, the paper discusses the possibilities of performing and making a film of correspondences using the example of Paul Celan and Ingeborg Bachmann (published 2008) and its film version Die Geträumten (‘Dreamed people’, 2016). The performative aspects of letters may also be represented by audio books or picture books. Yet especially digital letter editions should examine the phatic and conative functions of letter communication supplying specially designed kinds of metadata and their visualizations. The ‚Jenaer Romantikertreffen‘ (‘Jena Meeting of Romanticists’) in 1799 serves as a final historical example.
The Importance of Connections: The Rise of Jewish Business Elites in Galicia
Authors: Moskalets Vladyslava
Published: November 2019

The article explores relations within the milieu of Jewish elites involved in the oil industry of two towns in Eastern Galicia – Drohobych and Boryslav – in the second half of 19th century. The oil industry, one of the unique examples of early industrialization in Galicia, attracted numerous Jewish participants, especially in the initial stages. They became workers, overseers and entrepreneurs, less or more successful. The Jewish communities of both cities were socially and culturally diverse. This article examines the formation and structure of Jewish economic elites, arguing that kin relations and connections with elites in a non-Jewish environment helped a group of oil entrepreneurs to distinguish themselves from others and sustain business. Though 19th-century industry in Galicia inspired writers with the idea of the oil magnate gaining wealth overnight, the formation of Jewish elites in Drohobych and Boryslav was a long process, which required the ability to connect with different networks.
The influence of first language on referential expressions of Japanese language learners: A focus on narrative story by native Chinese and Korean speakers
Authors: Tōyama Chika
Published: November 2019

The present study examines how Japanese language learners use referential expressions in discourse, especially topicalized or non-topicalized subjects, in addition to whether the first language of a Japanese language learner influences the choice of referential expressions. The text of narrative stories, written in both the subject’s first language and second language (i.e. Japanese) by native Chinese speakers and native Korean speakers, as well as text written by Japanese native speakers, were analyzed. As a result, the first language influence and common difficulties were observed in the use of referential expressions by Japanese language learners. Using referential expressions is not simply a matter of negative or positive transfer.
The Tort of Outrage and Some Objectivity about Subjectivity
Authors: Tilley Cristina Carmody
Published: November 2019

The tort of outrage has been sidelined in recent decades by judges and academics who question its legitimacy. This Article is an attempt to move outrage from the margins to the center of American tort law. It begins by unearthing the complex intellectual history that produced judicial skepticism about this tort. The Legal Realists who “invented” outrage made a strategic decision to condition liability on the “outrageousness” of behavior rather than to identify discrete acts as wrongful. This doctrinal indeterminacy was necessary to quell corporate opposition to the tort. Ultimately, however, it has led modern courts and scholars to label outrage as “inherently subjective” and therefore “disfavored.”

The Article challenges this conventional view by proposing a scientific basis for distinguishing ordinary aggression from its outrageous counterpart. Neuroscience literature suggests that threats levelled with awareness of a target´s inability to follow through on the biologically reflexive fight or flight response produce physiologically maladaptive distress. In contrast, threats to which a target can freely respond produce benign, adaptive, stress. Consequently, defendant aggression is “outrageous” when it exploits a plaintiff’s known inability to execute a prosocial response. This science-based model of “outrageousness” provides a neutral baseline against which to evaluate the critique that the tort necessarily requires subjective evaluations of defendant behavior. When plaintiff paralysis results from external dynamics the defendant recognized and exploited, jurors need not assign priority to either the plaintiff’s or the defendant’s worldview to find a wrong. But when plaintiff paralysis results from internal feelings of powerlessness that may stem from race or gender experience, jurors must credit the plaintiff’s experience and disregard the defendant´s apparent ignorance of it in order to find a wrong, a process that appears to subjectively prioritize one worldview over another. So whether liability is objective or subjective in a given case turns on whether the impediment to plaintiff action was external or internal.

In its concluding section, the Article undertakes an empirical examination of jury verdicts to determine the relative frequency of “objective” and “subjective” liability assignments. It finds that juries are most likely to assign liability in situations where plaintiff paralysis arose from external, objectively observable impediments recognized by defendants. In other words, outrage liability typically stigmatizes behavior that is objectively understood by both the defendant and the community at large to be antisocial. That said, juries occasionally assign liability where a woman or a person of color felt paralyzed by perceived powerlessness the defendant may not have appreciated. The Article ultimately suggests that this small but persistent segment of “subjective” verdicts – far from demonstrating the tort’s illegitimacy – highlights the social power of private injury law.
Organizational Determinants of Political Involvement in Trade and Professional Membership Associations
Authors: Saitgalina Marina , Dicke Lisa A. , Birungi Patricia
Published: November 2019

Trade and business associations and professional membership societies like many other political interest groups in the United States advocate and lobby their interests in the policy arena. Yet, we lack the understanding of how organizational capabilities shape different forms of political engagement in trade and professional associations. Research on the political involvement of tax-exempt organizations has been focused on charitable nonprofits. Studying the elements that underlie political action strategies and tactics of trade and professional associations would expand our understanding of political engagement in the nonprofit sector. In our sample of occupational mutual benefit associations, both resource dependence and institutional factors such as board size, affiliated foundation, tax-exempt status, business classification, and membership type explained the likelihood of political strategies including advocacy, lobbying, grassroots activity, and having a political action committee (PAC). Organizational size characteristics such as budget, staff, and membership size mattered as well.

L’expertise psychiatrique est une des disciplines de la psychiatrie légale. Sa pratique est spécifique aux juridictions où elle s’exerce et aux ressources qui lui sont attribuées. L’évolution des connaissances en psychiatrie et psychopathologie, ainsi que les décisions politiques ont un impact majeur sur la nature et le déroulement des missions d’expertise. Il existe des différences significatives entre les pays, ce qui surprend fréquemment, puisque la pratique de la psychiatrie générale est quant à elle la même. Nous proposons dans cet article une comparaison entre la pratique de l’expertise psychiatrique pénale en France et au Canada.

Published: November 2019

The phenomena of settlement and wear of the ballast under dynamic stresses lead to high frequencies and high maintenance costs on high-speed railway lines. Studies have shown that these settlements are linked to high accelerations produced in the ballast by the passage of high-speed trains (HST). A layer of asphalt concrete (GB) was introduced under the ballast layer on the high-speed line Bretagne-Pays de Loire (BPL HSL). It is intended, among other things, to reduce the amplitude of accelerations produced at the passage of the HST and thus improve the durability of the track. The BPL HSL spans 105 km, with a sublayer of asphalt concrete under the ballast and 77 km with a granular sublayer (UGM). To evaluate the performance of the structures with bituminous sublayer and to compare it with traditional structures with granular sublayer, four track sections have been instrumented during construction. This article presents the different sensors of the instrumentation, as well as the acquisition system installed to collect measurements. The focus, in this study, concerns the temperature, water content, and vertical settlement measurements made on the instrumented sections. Temperature variations recorded during two years on the railway structure with bituminous sublayer were analyzed and compared with those measured on a classical bituminous pavement. Influence of the bituminous layer on water infiltration and track settlements has also been studied.
Impact on Machining of AISI H13 Steel Using Coated Carbide Tool under Vegetable Oil Minimum Quantity Lubrication
Authors: Vishal R. , Nimel Sworna Ross K. , Manimaran G. , Gnanavel B. K.
Published: November 2019

In machining, final surface quality and dimensional accuracy are the most specified customer requirements. AISI H13 tool steel is used in many fields such as the automotive, aerospace, and defense fields. It is considered to be a hard-to-machine material because of its immense strength. Conventional machining has several negative effects for the environment and human health. It has failed to produce a superior performance on machining of H13 steel. In this study, an eco-friendly minimum quantity lubrication technique is implemented by using a commercially available vegetable-based cutting fluid. An investigation was done on surface characteristics, chip morphology, and intensity of cutting temperature evolved during the machining of H13 steel. Further, wear on the tool of PVD-titanium-aluminum-nitrogen/titanium-nitrogen–coated carbide inserts used for milling was observed for the given input cutting speeds of 30, 45, 60, and 75 m/min and feed rates of 0.08, 1, and 1.2 mm/rev for the constant depth of cut of 1 mm. The results obtained from vegetable oil–based minimum quantity lubrication showed a reduction in the cutting temperature by 52–57 % and 38–45 % and the average surface roughness in the range of 53–64 % and 22–40 % compared to dry and wet machining.
Hippocampal and Prefrontal Theta-Band Mechanisms Underpin Implicit Spatial Context Learning
Authors: Spaak Eelke , de Lange Floris P.
Published: November 2019

Humans can rapidly and seemingly implicitly learn to predict typical locations of relevant items when those items are encountered in familiar spatial contexts. Two important questions remain, however, concerning this type of learning: (1) which neural structures and mechanisms are involved in acquiring and exploiting such contextual knowledge? (2) Is this type of learning truly implicit and unconscious? We now answer both these questions after closely examining behavior and recording neural activity using MEG while observers (male and female) were acquiring and exploiting statistical regularities. Computational modeling of behavioral data suggested that, after repeated exposures to a spatial context, participants' behavior was marked by an abrupt switch to an exploitation strategy of the learnt regularities. MEG recordings showed that hippocampus and prefrontal cortex (PFC) were involved in the task and furthermore revealed a striking dissociation: only the initial learning phase was associated with hippocampal theta band activity, while the subsequent exploitation phase showed a shift in theta band activity to the PFC. Intriguingly, the behavioral benefit of repeated exposures to certain scenes was inversely related to explicit awareness of such repeats, demonstrating the implicit nature of the expectations acquired. Together, these findings demonstrate that (1a) hippocampus and PFC play complementary roles in the implicit, unconscious learning and exploitation of spatial statistical regularities; (1b) these mechanisms are implemented in the theta frequency band; and (2) contextual knowledge can indeed be acquired unconsciously, and awareness of such knowledge can even interfere with the exploitation thereof.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTHuman visual perception is determined not just by the light that strikes our eyes, but also strongly by our prior knowledge and expectations. Such expectations, particularly about where to expect certain objects given scene context, might be learned implicitly and unconsciously, although this is hotly debated. Furthermore, it is unknown which brain mechanisms underpin this type of learning. We now show that, indeed, spatial prior expectations can be learned without awareness; in fact, strikingly, awareness seems to hinder the exploitation of the relevant knowledge. Furthermore, we demonstrate that one brain mechanism (hippocampal theta-band activity) is responsible for learning in these settings, whereas another mechanism (prefrontal theta-band activity) is involved in exploiting the learned associations.
A Single, Shared Triploidy in Three Species of Parasitic Nematodes
Authors: Schoonmaker Ashley , Hao Yue , Bird David McK , Conant Gavin C
Published: November 2019

The root-knot nematodes of the genus Meloidogyne are important and damaging parasites capable of infecting most flowering plants. Within this genus, several species of the Meloidogyne incognita group show evidence of paleopolyploidy in their genomes. We used our software tool POInT, the Polyploidy Orthology Inference Tool, to phylogenetically model the gene losses that followed that polyploidy. These models, and simulations based on them, show that three of these species (M. incognita, M. arenaria and M. javanica) descend from a single common hybridization event that yielded triplicated genomes with three distinguishable subgenomes. While one of the three subgenomes shows elevated gene loss rates relative to the other two, this subgenome does not show elevated sequence divergence. In all three species, ancestral loci where two of the three gene copies have been lost are less likely to have orthologs in Caenorhabditis elegans that are lethal when knocked down than are ancestral loci with surviving duplicate copies.
Genetic Interactions Affect Lung Function in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis
Authors: Tyler Anna , Mahoney J Matthew , Carter Gregory W
Published: November 2019

Scleroderma, or systemic sclerosis (SSc), is an autoimmune disease characterized by progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. The most common cause of death in people with SSc is lung disease, but the pathogenesis of lung disease in SSc is insufficiently understood to devise specific treatment strategies. Developing targeted treatments requires not only the identification of molecular processes involved in SSc-associated lung disease, but also understanding of how these processes interact to drive pathology. One potentially powerful approach is to identify alleles that interact genetically to influence lung outcomes in patients with SSc. Analysis of interactions, rather than individual allele effects, has the potential to delineate molecular interactions that are important in SSc-related lung pathology. However, detecting genetic interactions, or epistasis, in human cohorts is challenging. Large numbers of variants with low minor allele frequencies, paired with heterogeneous disease presentation, reduce power to detect epistasis. Here we present an analysis that increases power to detect epistasis in human genome-wide association studies (GWAS). We tested for genetic interactions influencing lung function and autoantibody status in a cohort of 416 SSc patients. Using Matrix Epistasis to filter SNPs followed by the Combined Analysis of Pleiotropy and Epistasis (CAPE), we identified a network of interacting alleles influencing lung function in patients with SSc. In particular, we identified a three-gene network comprising WNT5A, RBMS3, and MSI2, which in combination influenced multiple pulmonary pathology measures. The associations of these genes with lung outcomes in SSc are novel and high-confidence. Furthermore, gene coexpression analysis suggested that the interactions we identified are tissue-specific, thus differentiating SSc-related pathogenic processes in lung from those in skin.
La agenda de género en Arabia Saudí e Irán: factores para una socialización internacional
Authors: ORTEGA SÁNCHEZ Carlos
Published: November 2019

Con la llegada al poder del heredero al trono saudí, Muhammad Bin Salman (MBS), Arabia Saudí ha procedido a desarrollar una serie de políticas de género que atienden a un proceso de socialización internacional, estrechamente relacionado con la intensificación de una pragmática actividad diplomática. Como parte de ese proceso, se ha procedido a una política de ridiculización de su enemigo regional, Irán, para legitimarse a escala internacional como líder en Oriente Medio bajo la etiqueta de “monarca reformista”.En el presente artículo se proceden a analizar los factores explicativos de la incorporación de las cuestiones de género en las agendas políticas de Arabia Saudí e Irán desde una perspectiva doméstica e internacional. Para la comprensión de la adquisición de estas políticas atenderemos tanto a la internacionalización de la agenda de género como a las luchas de los movimientos sociales en ambos estados, lo cual ha presentado dos modelos: el saudí, basado en la apropiación del discurso de las activistas y en su silenciamiento; y el iraní, mucho más modesto a escala doméstica e internacional pero directamente relacionado con las demandas de dichos movimientos sociales a partir de una integración de los mismos en las dinámicas de poder.Para ello, en primer lugar, se estudiarán las trayectorias de las políticas de género de ambos estados; en segundo lugar, se procederá al estudio de la rivalidad regional de ambos estados bajo la construcción de identidades polarizadas; y, finalmente, se analizará la incorporación de políticas de género como modelo de legitimación del liderazgo regional.

El texto describe a Neom como un proyecto impulsado por élites globales transnacionales el cual implica, para llevarse a cabo, una serie de maniobras militares por parte de Riad en el Mar Rojo en conjunto con la ayuda de países aliados en la región como Egipto e Israel. El artículo se divide en tres partes: la primera expone el marco teórico ofrecido por autores como Saskia Sassen, William Robinson y David Harvey en el que se utiliza la relación entre financiarización, nuevo urbanismo y militarismo para explicar el fenómeno a estudiar. La segunda parte explica la inserción de algunas élites saudíes en las élites globales transnacionales para entender el papel que desempeña Neom en la conducta saudí en el Mar Rojo. Finalmente, la última parte analiza algunas consecuencias regionales del fenómeno, enfatizando en las oportunidades y obstáculos que tienen los saudíes en la zona del Mar Rojo para crear un nuevo balance de poder político y económico en dicha área.
Sodium–Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitors and Heart Failure Prevention in Type 2 Diabetes
Authors: Khan Muhammad Shahzeb , Butler Javed
Published: November 2019

Diabetes and heart failure (HF) are closely linked, with one causing a worse prognosis in the other. The majority of anti-hyperglycaemic agents primarily reduce risk of ischaemic microvascular events without targeting the mechanisms involved for diabetes cardiomyopathy and HF. Sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have emerged as a novel class of glucose-lowering agents that have consistently reduced HF hospitalisations, unlike other agents. The authors discuss the current evidence and highlight possible future directions for the role of SGLT2 inhibitors in HF prevention.
Inotropes in Acute Heart Failure: From Guidelines to Practical Use: Therapeutic Options and Clinical Practice

Published: November 2019

Inotropes are pharmacological agents that are indicated for the treatment of patients presenting with acute heart failure (AHF) with concomitant hypoperfusion due to decreased cardiac output. They are usually administered for a short period during the initial management of AHF until haemodynamic stabilisation and restoration of peripheral perfusion occur. They can be used for longer periods to support patients as a bridge to a more definite treatment, such as transplant of left ventricular assist devices, or as part of a palliative care regimen. The currently available inotropic agents in clinical practice fall into three main categories: beta-agonists, phosphodiesterase III inhibitors and calcium sensitisers. However, due to the well-documented potential for adverse events and their association with increased long-term mortality, physicians should be aware of the indications and dosing strategies suitable for different types of patients. Novel inotropes that use alternative intracellular pathways are under investigation, in an effort to minimise the drawbacks that conventional inotropes exhibit.
Antimicrobial, antibiofilm and biochemichal properties of Thymus vulgaris essential oil against clinical isolates of opportunistic infections
Authors: Kryvtsova M. V. , Salamon I. , Koscova J. , Bucko D. , Spivak M.
Published: November 2019

Thyme belongs to a genus encompassing over 215 species of hardy perennial herbaceous plants and sub-shrubs, which are native to Europe, particularly around the Mediterranean. Thymus vulgaris L., or garden thyme, with narrow small leaves and clusters of tubular mauve flowers, is used mainly in cookery. Dried herb yields 1% and more essential oil, which is a pale yellowish-red liquid with a sweet, very aromatic odour. Thyme is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry and is a source of substances of antimicrobial effect upon antibiotic-resistant strains of microorganisms. The purpose of our work was to identify the biochemical and antimicrobial peculiarities of Th. vulgaris essential oil against clinical isolates of opportunistic microorganisms. The analysis of thyme essential oil was carried out using GC/MS analysis. The clinical isolates were isolated with the use of differentially diagnostic nutrient media. The antibiotic susceptibility was identified with the help of the disc-diffusion test. The sensitivity of microorganisms to plant extracts was determined by the agar diffusion test. The antibiofilm activity of the extracts was tested in standard 96-well microtitration plates. The GC/MS results confirm the earlier reports that the major volatile constituents obtained from the aerial parts of thyme species were thymol, γ-terpinene, p-cymene, 3-carene and carvacrol. After subjecting the selected essential oil to effective steam distillation, substantial contents of phenolic monoterpenoids were obtained – thymol (67.7%) and γ-terpinene (8.2%). The European Pharmacopoeia set quality standards for thyme essential oil, which dealt mainly with the % content (w/w) of the volatile phenols (expressed as thymol: 36.0–55.0%). Garden thyme essential oil has been found to show a high antimicrobial activity against antibiotic-resistant microorganism strains. The obtained results proved the wide spectrum of antibiotic activity of thyme essential oil. The highest antimicrobial activity was registered against the typical and clinic strains of S. aureus and microscopic Candida genus fungi. Garden thyme essential oil was ascertained to show high antibiofilm-forming activity against S. aureus. The antimicrobial and antibiofilm-forming activities of thyme essential oil against both bacterial pathogens of opportunistic infections and microscopic fungi have proven the good prospects for development of a broad-spectrum agent against opportunistic microbial associations based on this oil.
Strategic portfolio of IT projects at universities: A systematic and non-conventional literature review
Authors: Valverde Alulema Francisco Xavier , Llorens Largo Faraón
Published: November 2019

One of the most accepted review methods in the scientific community is the Systematic Literature Review (SLR). A SLR process allows determining the interest of the scientific community in the subject matter of the preliminary research, the type of research and the areas of knowledge to which the topic is more related, among other aspects. For our research, we need to determine the scientific basis of the portfolio of information technology (IT) project, as initial good practice for the implementation of an IT governance culture. Universities have been specifically selected as the type of organization in the communities that have developed formal processes and good practices for the implementation of IT governance. In addition to the SLR, a review was carried out based on non-conventional literature from repositories of prestigious professional organizations and universities. It is concluded that the portfolio of IT projects is a good practice of IT governance and that there is an interest from the scientific community. From this analysis, it is clear that there are works in both the area of Computer Science and the Administration of Organizations.
Evaluation of internal curing effects on concrete
Authors: Torres Castellanos Nancy , Rodríguez-Torres Sergio David
Published: November 2019

The objective of the present research was the evaluation of some fresh and hardenedstate properties of concretes, in which coarse aggregates were partially replaced by lightweight ones previously saturated, in percentages of 15% and 25 %. The lightweight aggregates were calcined clays and crushed clay bricks. In parallel, the effect of an internal curing agent composed of superabsorbent polymers (SAP) was evaluated. The properties evaluated in the fresh and hardenedstate of concretes with a/c of 0,30 were: slum, air content, density, compression resistance, modulus of elasticity, initial superficial absorption and chlorine resistance. Results showed the efficiency of crushed clay bricks as internal curing, as well as the need for deeper research on the use of the evaluated lightweight aggregate as internal curing aggregate in concrete. Results indicate that the crushed clay bricks and the internal curing agent fulfill the behavior expected, in terms of strength and durability. However, the evaluated lightweight aggregate produces a reduction in the resistance and durability of the concrete. The observed behavior in strength and durability is especially variable for the age of 180 days, compared with conventional concretes.
Effect of the presence of CuOx on the catalytic behavior of bimetallic Au-Cu catalyst supported on Ce-Zr mixed oxide in CO preferential oxidation
Authors: Arevalo Juan David , Vargas Julio César , Córdoba Luis Fernando
Published: November 2019

The effect of the presence of copper was evaluated on a bimetallic catalyst Au-Cu based on mixed oxide cerium-zirconium in the preferential oxidation of CO (CO-PROX). Six catalytic materials, based on mixed oxides, were prepared: (1) the support (CeZr); (2) the monometallic catalysts, i.e. gold (Au/CeZr), (3) impregnated copper oxide (CuOx/CeZr) and (4) incorporated copper (CuCeZr); and the bimetallic catalysts, i.e. (5) impregnated copper oxide and gold (Au-CuOx/CeZr), and (6) gold and incorporated copper (Au/CuCeZr). The catalysts were evaluated in the CO-PROX in the range 30-300°C and atmospheric pressure, where the Au-CuOx/CeZr showed the best catalytic behavior. The influence of CO2 and H2O in the feed stream was evaluated on the catalytic performance of the Au-CuOx/CeZr. An inhibitory effect for the CO2 was observed, while the presence of H2O enhanced the performance. Additionally, the catalytic stability was evaluated, reaching CO conversion of 93% and selectivity of 90% for 118 h. The catalytic materials were characterized by XRD, showing in all cases the fluorite cubic structure. The N2 adsorption-desorption analyses showed that synthesized materials were mesoporous and the TPR-H2 test reveals that the presence of the active phase increases the reducibility of Ce4+ to Ce3+. Reduction peaks of the gold catalyst were present at lower temperatures than those of the copper catalyst, which is related to a hydrogen spillover phenomenon. Finally, the samples were analyzed by SEM and TEM, which confirmed the formation of nano-particles with a diameter of about 4 nm.

Effects of changes in locations of fault zones on property values
Authors: Erdem Nuri
Published: November 2019

Earthquake fault zoning and geological survey have attracted considerable attention in Turkey, particularly after the major earthquake on 17 August 1999. Detection of faults, processing the results on zoning plans and prohibition of construction on these fault zones were brought to the agenda in Turkey only after this major earthquake. This study investigated the plots on which Osmaniye Municipality made zoning changes in old and new zoning plans due to faults. Then, the effects of these changes on property values in the region were determined using zoning diameters, current property (buy–sell) values and the building coverage and floor area ratios. Accordingly, recommendations were made particularly for implementing agencies to find solutions for the problem.
Effect of Syrian refugees on housing rents in the southeast of Turkey
Authors: Erdem Nuri
Published: November 2019

Syrians fleeing from the civil war in their county to Turkey have started to live mostly in the southern provinces which are close to the border such as Gaziantep, Kilis, Mardin, Şanlıurfa, Adana, Osmaniye, Hatay and Mersin. This situation has both caused an excessive increase in the housing rents in these provinces and made it difficult to find a house for rent. In this study, the effects of Syrian refugees living outside the sheltering camps in Turkey and settling in city centres close to the border on the price increase in the rent in the region were examined. For this purpose, the number of annual housing sales, rental prices, rental increase rates and Turkish Statistical Institute data like consumer price index and the number of Syrian refugees living outside the sheltering camps between 2008 and 2018 were compared. A significant relationship was found between the rental increase rates in the region and the number of Syrian refugees.
Shaking table tests on strengthened adobe dwellings typical of Mexico
Authors: Catalán-Quiroz Policarpo , Moreno-Martínez Jatziri Y. , Galván Arturo , Arroyo-Matus Roberto
Published: November 2019

This paper investigates experimentally the effectiveness of a cost-effective strengthening technique using steel meshes at improving the seismic behaviour of adobe dwellings typical of developing countries. To achieve this, two 1 : 2 scaled-down adobe dwellings were tested on a shaking table using increasing levels of shaking intensity. The first model was tested in an as-built condition, whereas the second one was strengthened with a hexagonal chicken-wire mesh rendered with cement mortar. The main parameters investigated include the vibration period, accelerations, displacements, damping, stiffness and base shear. The results show that, compared to the as-built model, the reinforced model sustained twice the accelerations and experienced 10 times less drift, while only increasing by approximately 20% the material and labour costs. It is also shown that the proposed strengthening strategy was very effective at reducing structural damage in adobe dwellings. This study contributes towards a better understanding of the seismic response of adobe structures, as well as towards developing cost-effective strengthening techniques for structures in developing countries.

Metodologicamente, analisaram-se as práticas desenvolvidas nas aulas de História, em suas dimensões, recorrências, relações com outros componentes curriculares e transformações ao longo dos anos. Cadernos como esses comumente são vistos como resíduos da escola, entretanto, conservam sua potência como documentos inscritos nos campos da História da Educação em suas interfaces com a História da Cultura Escrita.
Assistência a infância: história de uma educação moralizante e higienista
Authors: Grotti Giane Lucélia , Da Silva Bezerra Maria Irinilda
Published: November 2019

O objetivo deste é apresentar uma discussão sobre a assistência à infância no Brasil, destacando práticas moralizantes na educação, através de preceitos médicos e higienistas. Para tanto, utilizamos como aporte teórico Marcílio (19997, 2006, 2006b), Rizzini; Marques (2012), Azzi (2008), Sousa (2010), Del Priori (1991), Bazílio (2002), dentre outros. Como resultados apontamos que a infância no Brasil, por muito tempo foi negligenciada, literalmente abandonada ou colocada à mercê de ações assistencialistas, moralizantes e higienistas. Concluímos que as ações nacionalizantes típicas da República, visou criar nas crianças uma vida regrada pelas normas sociais e pelas necessidades do mundo adulto.
“Todo desconstruidinho”: jovens líderes do movimento estudantil Ocupa Tudo RS
Authors: Medaets Chantal , Mézié Nadège , Carvalho Isabel Cristina de Moura
Published: November 2019

O artigo tem como objetivo apresentar narrativas e memórias de líderes do movimento de ocupação das escolas ocorrido no Rio Grande do Sul em 2016. Do ponto de vista metodológico, o estudo se baseou em uma etnografia, e em entrevistas realizadas naquela época e um ano depois. Combinando dados sobre o grupo e o contexto do movimento com detalhes da trajetória individual de dois líderes, os resultados mostram aspectos menos abordados na crescente literatura sobre a onda de ocupações de escolas de 2016, como os “rachas” internos ao movimento e a mobilização e o reconhecimento de competências adquiridas no contexto da participação religiosa. A análise traz também à tona as aprendizagens ligadas à prática militante e a importância da presença feminina e feminista neste movimento social, dialogando com a literatura antropológica e sociológica sobre movimentos sociais.

RESUMO

Este artigo analisa a formação de Odinéia dos Santos Barbosa, como curadora evangélica da Comunidade quilombola de Abacatal - PA. Baseia-se nos pressupostos teóricos dos campos da Educação, e História Cultural. Trata-se de uma pesquisa do tempo presente, ocorrida entre o período de 2013-2015, do tipo etnográfico com abordagem qualitativa sob a metodologia da História Oral. As práticas educativas encontradas na formação de Dona Dionéia conformam uma educação pautada nos saberes da experiência que perpassam a sua trajetória de vida que a habilitou ao ofício de benzer, curar e educar pessoas, nos permitindo, com isso, pensar a educação em seu sentido alargado, e em uma pedagogia do cotidiano.

Las democracias para la liberación como utopía nuestroamericana
Authors: Altamirano Martínez Héctor Alberto
Published: November 2019

Este articulo presenta la idea que hizo pública Tomás Moro hace 500 años: un país ideal, en donde los seres humanos viven en un clima social de armonía. Dicha idea tiene una gran potencia para el pensamiento y la acción de sujetos y colectivos que pretenden cambiar la realidad existente. Para ello, se realizará una aproximación sobre aspectos mundiales, regionales y locales, los cuales permitirán argumentar la necesidad de cuestionar lo que sucede en nuestras sociedades contemporáneas. Este trabajo se detendrá en la obra de tres autores que son referentes: Roig, Hinkelammert y Cerutti Guldberg. La obra de estos autores permitirá reflexionar sobre la importancia de la utopía para pensar y comenzar a explorar otros mundos que hoy se vuelven necesarios. Finalmente se propondrá pensar a la democracia como camino de liberación de los seres humanos. Hoy las democracias que hemos denominado hegemónicas (Altamirano, 2016) no tienen en cuenta dos aspectos fundamentales de la vida: los seres humanos y la naturaleza. De esta manera se propone pensar-actuar en dirección de proyectos liberadores (y por tanto utópicos), en donde los seres humanos se transformen en sujetos de los cambios.
La Aretedemocracia o Virtudemocracia: Un sistema de gobierno calificado contra las deformaciones de la democracia
Authors: Arrieta López Milton
Published: November 2019

El propósito de la presente investigación consiste en presentar, dentro del eje temático de la teoría política, una nueva forma de organización social de gobierno que otorgué herramientas para garantizar el deber ser de la democracia en el marco de los derechos humanos y políticos. La democracia es constantemente vulnerada por causa de influencias desequilibradas en la toma de decisiones, deformándose en plutocracia y/u oclocracia, lo anterior acontece bajo el disfraz de legitimación que ostenta la autoridad elegida para gobernar. La metodología empleada es la revisión documental, bibliográfica y el análisis crítico, mediante la cual se diserta sobre la construcción del concepto de la Aretedemocracia a partir de antecedentes históricos y filosóficos, y examina la calificación y cualificación previa a la que debe ser sometido el aspirante para poder representar al pueblo con idoneidad. La Aretedemocracia (Aretecracia) o Virtudemocracia (Virtudcracia) es una forma de organización social que atribuye la titularidad calificada, idónea y capacitada del poder al conjunto de la ciudadanía. En sentido estricto es una forma de organización de gobierno en la cual las decisiones colectivas son adoptadas por el pueblo mediante la concurrencia de dos escenarios consecuentes, el primero de estos escenarios está encaminado a la consecución de la calificación previa de los pretendientes a ser representantes del pueblo y el segundo escenario comprende, después de la obtención de la calificación, los mecanismos de participación directa o indirecta.
Clientelismo armado en el Caribe colombiano por medio de la Reconfiguración cooptada del Estado. El caso del Bloque Norte de la Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia.
Authors: Fernando Trejos Luis , Guzmán Cantillo Jolie
Published: November 2019

El caribe colombiano ha sido, desde hace varias décadas, escenario de fuerte presencia de los grupos paramilitares en el marco de la dinámica del conflicto armado. La región Caribe fue, sin lugar a dudas, un escenario configurado para la acción y desarrollo de las AUC (Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia) como agente social ilegal, logrando, mediante prácticas ilegales o ilegales pero ilegítimas, alterar desde adentro el régimen y tener real influencia en la formulación, modificación, interpretación e implementación de las reglas de juego y de las políticas públicas. Así, el presente trabajo sostiene que el Bloque Norte de las Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia en el periodo 2000-2006, desplegó su accionar por medio de la “Reconfiguración Cooptada del Estado” (RcdE), persiguiendo beneficios económicos pero también políticos, además de impunidad legal y legitimidad social. Lo anterior dentro de un marco de operación más amplia: el clientelismo armado, toda vez que se privatizó la vida pública, apropiándose de bienes comunes a través de la fuerza o la amenaza real de su uso. Se estructura entonces el presente trabajo alrededor de estas dos categorias conceptuales, reconstruyendo el control paramilitar en la región caribe en el periodo señalado, describiendo cómo ha sido la captura criminal de la administración pública y señalando la influencia y magnitud de los pactos entre políticos y las AUC como parte importante de sus lógicas de control territorial.
Bench top CUT&Tag with antibodies-online™ CUT&RUN Sets v2
Authors: Online Gmbh Antibodies
Published: November 2019

CUT&RUN (Cleavage Under Targets and Release Using Nuclease) offers a novel approach to pursue epigenetics. The method is designed to map genome wide transcription factor binding sites, chromatin-associated complexes, and histone variants and post-translational modifications. In CUT&Tag is performed in situ on immobilized, intact cells without crosslinking. DNA fragmentation is achieved using micrococcal nuclease that is fused to Protein A and/or Protein G (pA/G-MNase). The fusion protein is directed to the desired target through binding of the Protein A/G moiety to the Fc region of an antibody bound to the target. DNA under the target is subsequently cleaved and released and the pA/G-MNase-antibody- chromatin complex is free to diffuse out of the cell. DNA cleavage products are extracted and then processed by next generation sequencing (NGS). All steps from live cells to sequencing-ready libraries can be performed in a single tube on the benchtop or a microwell in a high-throughput pipeline, and the entire procedure can be performed in one day.

Authors: Belitsyn Igor V.
Published: November 2019

The article considers inductive interference components. A description of the induced voltage electromagnetic component is described in detail. The technique of the calculated wire suspension height determining based on the actual magnetic field distribution is presented. The technique for the number of power line spans determining is provided. Dependences of the magnetic field induction vector on the distance along one power line’s span are obtained. Relationships of the magnetic field induction determining error depending on the number of adjacent spans are obtained. Recommendations for the number of spans determining, which must be taken into account when evaluating the magnetic component of the power line electromagnetic field are given
