El Imposible Regreso a Itaca
Authors: Sánchez María Del Carmen
Published: January 2019

La saga del hombre es un viaje sin regreso, desde su condición nómada hasta los asentamientos urbanos, da pie a valores diferenciados que definen las distintas culturas que se expresan físicamente, a través de las arquitecturas que definen espacios y ciudades. La lectura de la historia humana como memorias acumuladas, tiene múltiples posibilidades de ser revisada en libros o relatos, en imágenes físicas o virtuales que otorgan al lector la oportunidad de reconstruir su propia historia, personal o colectiva, a través de diferentes lecturas interpretativas. Estas realidades construidas, están sometidas a constante evolución a través del tiempo y los avatares sucedidos. Solo su cuidado y mantenimiento garantizan su continuidad a través de la preservación de la memoria y los recuerdos en su lucha contra el olvido.
O fotojornalismo gaúcho dos anos 1970: Jacqueline Joner e Eneida Serrano
Authors: Etcheverry Carolina Martins
Published: January 2019

Este artigo tem por objetivos apresentar e problematizar o trabalho de duas fotojornalistas gaúchas nos anos 1970, Jacqueline Joner (1953) e Eneida Serrano (1952), a fim de compreender sua inserção e seu papel no campo fotojornalístico gaúcho. As fotógrafas fazem parte da história da fotografia brasileira, o que permite compreender não apenas as tensões nas relações de trabalho e as formas de opressão que sofreram, mas também os mecanismos de emancipação. Assim, abordam-se, de modo específico, as fotografias do fotolivro Santa soja, a passagem pelo jornal Agricultura & Cooperativismo e pela agência de fotografia Ponto de Vista.

Evaluation of the usefulness of the alternative light source (ALS) in differentiating simulated bloodstains
Authors: Szeremeta Michał , Drobuliakova Petra , Janica Maciej , Lomperta Karolina , Niemcunowicz-Janica Anna , Pepiński Witold
Published: January 2019

The alternative light source (ALS) is a helpful technique for the detection of biological traces at a crime scene, which allows preservation of the material without destroying it. The aim of this study was to differentiate the human blood from a group of simulated bloodstains, which included: red borscht, raspberry juice, cherry liqueur, cranberry juice, tomato bruschetta, tomato paste, raspberry jam, rust, red spray, red wine and tomato ketchup. Stains, made of different types of material, were illuminated with the ALS emitted by the Mini-CrimeScope 400 (SPEX Forensics) with yellow, dark yellow, orange and red filters. The results of the analysis were presented as a description and also documented in photographs. The usage of light sources without color cut-off filters does not allow us to differentiate unequivocally real bloodstains from the trace evidence imitating or resembling bloodstains. The usage of different color cut-off filters (especially red filter) allowed us to exclude simulated bloodstains made of food and alcohol by using CSS light and light with a wavelength of 535 nm, 515 nm, 455 nm, 415 nm and 300-400 nm. Due to the different optical properties of blood and substances containing vegetable ingredients, forensic experts can differentiate human blood from simulated bloodstains by using the ALS in a non-destructive and quick way already at the crime scene. The ALS may be an example of a method which can replace more commonly used chemical-based screening tests.
Partnerstwo publiczno-prywatne a porozumienie administracyjne. Efektywna realizacja zadań własnych administracji publicznej w ujęciu
porównań systemowych
Authors: Krajewski Jan
Published: January 2019

This publication focuses on defining the legal nature of the constructions of public-private partnership and administrative agreements under different legal systems, with particular emphasis on Polish regulations. Due to complex changes within the concept of public administration, alternative methods of its operation gradually appear. Unification of European legal structures and global socio-economic innovations are an impulse for the analysis of methods that allow adapting to the marketization of public tasks. The aim of the author is to assess the effectiveness of a hybrid forms of public-private partnership and administrative agreement combining the features of private and public law, based on the evaluation of doctrine and jurisprudence. Solutions taken from Polish legal acts on local government and the practice of public institutionsreflect the challenging problem of multilayeredness of obligations undertaken by aforementioned form. Extracting the conclusions from market research and cited government reports allows to formulate postulates de lege ferenda and accurate diagnosis of the activities of modern administration.
Konstytucyjne gwarancje praw jednostki. Model szwedzki
i nowozelandzki
Authors: Sikora Katarzyna
Published: January 2019

The purpose of this article is to analyse and describe fundamental individual rights in relation to the Constitution of Sweden and New Zealand. Basic human rights include the right to dignity, right to liberty and the right to equality. Everyone is equally entitled regardless of origin, race, gender or education.
Based on the analysis of several acts concerning the constitutional legislation of both countries it is evident that there is a lack of uniformity the nature of these have been complex and difficult to convey.
Concerning Sweden, the Constitution consists of four acts in which the act of government includes standards governing and representing protection of the rights a liberty of a citizen.
Constitutional legislation of New Zealand is more complicated because it consists of the Treaty of Waitangi 1840, The New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990, numerous laws, statutes setting up by the New Zealand Parliament as well as numerous constitutional customs, which may constitute legal standards and translate into precedent acts of courts.
Despite the daily violation of rights in both Sweden and New Zealand, the complex legal systems protect and secure the rights of the people in their countries by introducing a series of laws and other regulations. The government of both countries, as well as public authority and other non-governmental organisations do their best to ensure they are respected and not violated.
It should be noted that both Sweden and New Zealand have proven to comply with the obligations imposed on them under their national and international obligations with some undoubtable success, with generally well accepted principles in the whole civilised world.
Dimensional accuracy and surface
roughness of polymeric dental bridges
produced by different 3D printing
processes
Authors: Dikova T.D. , Dzhendov D.A. , Ivanov D. , Bliznakova K.
Published: January 2019

Purpose: To compare the dimensions accuracy and surface roughness of polymeric dental
bridges produced by different 3D printers.
Design/methodology/approach: Four-part dental bridges were manufactured by three
printing systems working on the basis of digital light projection (DLP) stereolithography
(SLA), laser-assisted SLA and fused deposition modeling (FDM). The materials used from
SLA printers are liquid methacrylate photopolymer resins, while FDM printer use thin wire
plastic polylactic acid. The accuracy of the external dimensions of dental bridges was
evaluated and the surface roughness was measured.
Findings: It was found that compared to the base model, the dimensions of the SLA
printed bridges are bigger with 1.25%-6.21%, while the corresponding dimensions of the
samples, made by FDM are smaller by 1.07%-4.71%, regardless the position of the object
towards the substrate. The samples, produced by FDM, are characterized with the highest
roughness. The average roughness deviation (Ra) values for DLP SLA and lase-assisted SLA
are 2.40 μm and 2.97 μm, respectively.
Research limitations/implications: For production of high quality polymeric dental
constructions next research should be targeted to investigation of the polymerization
degree, stresses and deformations.
Practical implications: Our study shows that 3D printers, based on laser-assisted
and DLP SLA, can be successfully used for manufacturing of polymeric dental bridges –
temporary restorations or cast patterns, while FDM system is more suitable for training
models. The results will help the dentists to make right choice of the most suitable 3D printer.
Originality/value: One of the largest fixed partial dentures – four-part bridges, produced
by three different commercial 3D printing systems, were investigated by comparative
analysis. The paper will attract readers’ interest in the field of biomedical materials and
application of new technologies in dentistry.
ANALYSIS OF THE UK PRIME MINISTERIAL DISCOURSE ON BREXIT: THEMATIC CHOICES AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS
Authors: Leung Ray C. H.
Published: January 2019

This study of political discourse focuses on three selected texts about Brexit delivered by British Prime Minister Theresa May in early 2017. The texts represent three rare occasions on which May revealed to the public in detail what “negotiating objectives” the government has for Brexit. The three texts are: (i) the Lancaster House speech; (ii) Britain’s Article 50 notification letter; (iii) May’s oral statement in Parliament on the notification letter. Analytic tools from systemic functional linguistics (SFL) were employed to investigate the thematic choices in these three texts. The findings shed light on the interface between discourse and ideology. For example, frequent reference to the British society in the experiential Themes of the Lancaster House speech suggests that May tries to give prominence to the voice of the British people while addressing the general public. In the Article 50 notification letter, textual Themes which signal an adversative relation construe May’s optimism about the prospect of Brexit. Furthermore, the first-person plural pronoun we in the thematic position serves multiple purposes, one of which is to establish solidarity between Britain and the European Union. The current research underscores the contributions of SFL thematic analysis to the study of ideology in discourse.
NEWSPAPER PORTRAYAL OF TEACHERS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF REPRESENTATIONS OF TEACHERS IN A BRITISH AND A CZECH BROADSHEET
Authors: Trčková Dita
Published: January 2019

The study compares representations of teachers in the Czech broadsheet Mladá fronta and the British broadsheet The Daily Telegraph, aiming to reveal their possible impact on the level of public respect towards teachers. The methodology employed is critical discourse analysis, combining an investigation of semantic macrostructures and recurrent transitivity patterns. It is revealed that both newspapers call attention to problems regarding the teaching profession, advocating social change and higher job prestige. The social significance of a teacher is enhanced in both newspapers by allocating a teacher not only the role of a transmitter of knowledge but also a moral guide concerned with social issues. The main difference between the two broadsheets is that The Daily Telegraph foregrounds teachers’ wrongdoings, while Mladá fronta highlights teachers’ accomplishments. This seems to be mainly due to the inclusion of a section with regional content in the Czech broadsheet.

Published: January 2019

Robotic surgery facilitates surgical procedures by employing flexible arms with multiple degrees of freedom and providing high-quality 3-dimensional imaging. Robot-assisted nipplesparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction is currently performed to avoid breast scars. Four patients with invasive ductal carcinoma underwent robot-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy and immediate robot-assisted expander insertion. Through a 6-cm incision along the anterior axillary line, sentinel lymph node biopsy and nipple-sparing mastectomy were performed by oncologic surgeons. The pectoralis major muscle was elevated, an acellular dermal matrix (ADM) sling was created with robotic assistance, and an expander was inserted into the subpectoral, sub-ADM pocket. No patients had major complications such as hematoma, seroma, infection, capsular contracture, or nipple-areolar necrosis. The mean operation time for expander insertion was 1 hour and 20 minutes, and it became shorter with more experience. The first patient completed 2-stage prosthetic reconstruction and was highly satisfied with the unnoticeable scar and symmetric reconstruction. We describe several cases of immediate robot-assisted prosthetic breast reconstruction. This procedure is a feasible surgical option for patients who want to conceal surgical scars.
The diathermy scratch pad: A cheap and efficient tool for chemical and explosion-related burns
Authors: Wong Allen Wei-Jiat , Hong Qi En , Hui Cheryl Li Yu , Chong Si Jack
Published: January 2019

The burn center in our hospital is a national and regional (Southeast Asia) center. Of all admissions, 10% are related to blast explosions, and 8% due to chemical burns. In the acute burn management protocol of Singapore General Hospital, early surgical debridement is advocated for all acute partial-thickness burns. The aim of early surgical debridement is to remove all debris and unhealthy tissue, preventing wound infection and thereby expediting wound healing. In chemical burns, there can be stubborn eschars that are resistant to traditional debridement. We would like to present a novel technique using the diathermy scratch pad as a cheap and efficient tool for the dual purpose of surgical debridement and dermabrasion.
Estudio y valoración de un modelo didáctico intertextual literario-musical. Una investigación en la Región de Murcia
Authors: De Vicente-Yagüe Jara María Isabel
Published: January 2019

En el presente artículo exponemos una investigación sobre la práctica lectora y el hábito de escucha musical, pilares fundamentales de la educación literaria y musical, en la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria, el Bachillerato y las Enseñanzas Artísticas de Música. Hemos pretendido comprobar si se fomenta el interés lector y auditivo del alumnado a través de un modelo didáctico interdisciplinar basado en el estudio de referentes intertextuales en las obras mixtas literario-musicales, que se ha aplicado en diversos centros educativos de la Región de Murcia. Como instrumentos metodológicos se han utilizado, fundamentalmente, la observación, los cuestionarios (15 tipos) y las entrevistas, aunque en este trabajo solo contemplamos los datos cuantitativos de los alumnos, tratados mediante el programa informático SPSS, versión 15. Finalmente, del análisis de los resultados se desprende que la aplicación del método ha estimulado considerablemente la afición por la lectura y la audición musical, al mismo tiempo que ha contribuido de forma significativa en la interpretación de las obras trabajadas.

This paper describes research into high school pupils’ reading and listening to music habits, both of which are key pillars of literary and music education in Secondary Education, Baccalaureate and Musical Studies. The study examined whether pupils’ interest in literature and music is enhanced by an interdisciplinary teaching approach based on the analysis of intertextual references in combined literary works and musical compositions. Data were collected in various schools throughout the Region of Murcia using classroom observation, questionnaires (15 types) and personal interviews. Statistical analyses (SPSS version 15) of quantitative data revealed that the implementation of this teaching approach not only increased pupils’ interest in reading and music, but led to a significant improvement of their interpretation of the textual and musical pieces studied.

Published: January 2019

Este estudio pretende indagar en los dilemas y controversias de un centro de secundaria que influyen en el desarrollo de procesos de planificación y gestión a partir de un trabajo colaborativo que propicie el progreso y la mejora. Para ello se han utilizado técnicas biográfico-narrativas en tres momentos: entrevistas individuales y grupales y observaciones de reuniones, grabaciones de sesiones de un Programa de Formación y discusión de temas a debate y entrevistas individuales finales a miembros observadores inmersos en el proceso del estudio. En este estudio han participado profesores, alumnos, orientador, equipo directivo, coordinador del grupo de trabajo así como alumno en prácticas durante un curso escolar. Los resultados muestran datos respecto a una variedad de conflictos y dilemas de índole contextual y estratégica que impiden el establecimiento de un trabajo colaborativo en el centro que potencie una filosofía de trabajo basada en la equidad y el aprendizaje para todos.

The aim of this study is to analyze the issues and controversies that arise in a secondary school that affect the development of planning and management procedures based on cooperation, aiming to progress and improvement. The methodology of the study consists of biographical and narrative techniques applied in three phases: individual and group interviews, analysis of meetings, recordings from sessions of a Training Program and discussions of several topics; and final individual interviews to monitoring members involved in the analysis. The study includes the participation of teachers, students, the school counselor, the executive board, the coordinator of the working group and a student who was working in the school as part of an internship during the academic year. The results show several issues and conflicts of a contextual and strategic nature that prevent the development of cooperative work with a philosophy based on equity and general development.
Modalidades participativas de evaluación: Un análisis de la percepción del profesorado y de los estudiantes universitarios
Authors: Ibarra Saiz María Soledad , Rodríguez Gómez Gregorio
Published: January 2019

El uso de modalidades participativas de evaluación es una de las principales líneas de investigación e innovación en la educación superior. Esta investigación se planteó con el objetivo de analizar la percepción que el profesorado y los estudiantes universitarios manifiestan respecto a la utilización de la autoevaluación, evaluación entre iguales y coevaluación. Para ello se diseñaron dos cuestionarios, profesorado y estudiantes, a través de los cuales se recogieron las percepciones de 3.459 estudiantes y 424 profesores en siete universidades, iberoamericanas y españolas, pertenecientes a seis países. Como conclusión se evidencia, en primer lugar, un acuerdo sobre el escaso uso de modalidades participativas de evaluación en las universidades y, en segundo lugar, se resalta la necesidad de establecer procesos formativos, tanto para profesorado como para estudiantes, que incidan en el conocimiento y puesta en práctica de dichas modalidades con el fin de mejorar en los estudiantes un aprendizaje autónomo y estratégico.

The use of participatory assessment methods is one of the main lines of research and innovation in higher education. The aim of this research was to analyse the perception of both university teaching staff and students regarding the use of self-assessment, peer-assessment and co-assessment. Two questionnaires were designed for this purpose, one for the lecturers and one for the students, by means of which the perceptions of 3,459 students and 424 lecturers of seven Latin American and Spanish universities from six different countries were measured. In conclusion, there is, in the first place, evidence of an agreement regarding the scant use of participatory assessment methods in universities and, secondly, there is an emphasis on the need to establish training processes for both teaching staff and students in order to disseminate information concerning these methods and put them into practice in order to improve students´ independent and strategic learning.

Published: January 2019

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo fundamental analizar los predictores de Ansiedad, Felicidad y Rendimiento Académico, considerando la edad, género, cultura y estrato socioeconómico, así como contemplar las relaciones que se pudieran dar entre las variables, para una población adolescente multicultural. Para ello, se ha contado con 811 participantes, de seis centros en los que se imparte formación perteneciente a la Etapa Secundaria. Considerando la cultura, el grupo mayoritario es el de participantes pertenecientes a la cultura-religión musulmana. Estos constituyen el 71.6% de la muestra, mientras que el 28.4% de la misma pertenecía a la culturareligión cristiana, siendo el 46.1% varones y el resto de la muestra (53.9%) mujeres. Como instrumentos de evaluación se han empleado el Inventario de Ansiedad Estado-Rasgo para Niños (STAIC, Spielberger, 2001), un cuestionario elaborado para evaluar la Felicidad junto con las calificaciones de los estudiantes. Los resultados reflejan que los predictores de la Ansiedad son la Edad y el Género. Para la Felicidad aparecen todas las variables sociodemográficas: Edad, Cultura, Estatus y Género. Se ha halló una fuerte relación inversa entre Ansiedad y Felicidad, actuando cada una como principal predictora de la otra. En Rendimiento Académico los predictores son el estatus, la cultura/religión y la edad. No se ha halló relación estadísticamente significativa entre Ansiedad y Rendimiento Académico, pero sí en el caso de la Felicidad.

This work has as main objective to analyze the predictors of Anxiety, Happiness and Academic Achievement, according to age, gender, culture and socioeconomic stratum as well as the relationships that could be given between all the variables, for a multicultural adolescent sample. To make it possible we focused on 811 participants from six educational centre; 71.6% of the total were Muslims and 28.4% belonged to the Christian religion, 46.1% were male and 53.9% female. The techniques used in this survey were the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC, Spielberger, 2001), a Happiness questionnaire, as well as the students’ grades. The results reflect that the predictors of Anxiety are Age and Gender. For Happiness, all the sociodemographics variables act as predictors: They are Age, Culture, Socioeconomic stratum and Gender. We found a strong and inverse relationship between Anxiety and Happiness. Each one act as the main predictor of the other. Academic Achievement predictors’ are the sociodemographic factors of status, culture and age. There is no statistically significant relationship between Anxiety and Academic Achievement, but we found it between Academic Achievement and Happiness.

Gernikaren itzalpean: Propaganda, Appropriation, and Depoliticisation of Basque Art Music
Authors: Besada José L. , Zubizarreta Ainara
Published: January 2019

The Bombing of Guernica stands as the best-known war crime during the Spanish Civil War. The town symbolically representing the Basque essences was destroyed by a German-Italian air raid lasting over three hours, and almost two hundred people were killed. Unfortunately, this abominable event remains contentious among disparate political factions, sometimes upholding its memory by means of tailor-made interpretations.

As music often performs a political role within conflicts, particularly those involving violence, it is not surprising that the Bombing of Guernica has inspired several compositions of art music. Among them, we study three works by Basque composers, namely Pablo Sorozábal, Francisco Escudero, and Ramon Lazkano. Each case study respectively stands, politically speaking, as a propagandistic event, a musical appropriation, and a collateral depoliticization of the vivid memories around the war crime.
Danser, ordonner, contrôler
Authors: Monteils-Laeng Laetitia
Published: January 2019

Dans lesLoisde Platon, la danse (choreia) prend une place importante au sein de l’éducation. Substituant l’ordre aux gesticulations et aux mouvements désordonnés de l’enfance grâce au pouvoir du rythme, elle produit des effets apaisants mais aussi structurants au sein de l’âme agitée ou tourmentée. Don des dieux, elle enchante pour un temps le quotidien laborieux des hommes lors des fêtes religieuses. Mais si Platon la met au coeur de sa cité, c’est surtout qu’avec sa capacité à créer de l’ordre, elle devient un formidable outil de stabilisation politique.
« C’est devant YHWH que j’ai dansé »
Authors: Bellavance Éric
Published: January 2019

Le comportement du roi David « devant YHWH », alors que l’arche de Dieu est transportée vers Jérusalem, dans un premier temps, puis dans Jérusalem, dans un deuxième temps, a fait couler beaucoup d’encre. De quelle nature est la danse qui y est décrite ? Pourquoi le roi agit-il de la sorte ? Et pourquoi sa femme Mikal, la fille de l’ancien roi Saül, est-elle choquée au point de le mépriser et de lui reprocher de s’être comporté comme un homme sans valeur ? Nous sommes d’avis que la femme du roi réagit négativement parce que David a eu une conduite qui s’apparente à celle d’un prophète extatique. L’hypothèse que nous avançons pour expliquer pourquoi David adopte une attitude semblable aux prophètes extatiques est inédite : le roi danse en présence non seulement de l’arche, mais d’une représentation de YHWH, possiblement sous forme de statue.
Une théologie de l’altérité : Michel de Certeau
Authors: Hervieux Lucie
Published: January 2019

La question de l’altérité chez Michel de Certeau est au coeur de sa (dé)-marche théologique et noue inséparablement la question d’un sujet en quête de son désir et en ce qu’il se reconnaît comme manque à être. Quelques repères nous permettent d’étayer l’état de la question. Il semble que pour Certeau, la théologie, s’il en est une, se fait autrement. Depuis la modernité, quelque chose s’est rompu, le « dire » et le « faire » théologiques ne font plus consensus, ni sur les pavés des Églises, ni dans l’ordre des discours relatif à l’éveil des sciences humaines. Un socle s’est rompu. La rupture même fait office de lieu théologique, elle porte une coupure épistémologique : le travail théologique ne peut en aucun temps être fixé une fois pour toutes et figé dans des énoncés évidés de leur fondement, c’est-à-dire qui évacuent l’expérience même d’une rencontre de l’autre et de l’Autre. Il ne s’agit pas pour Michel de Certeau de poser un savoir sur Dieu ni de lui imposer un lieu mais de reconnaître l’(in)-appropriable d’un « non-lieu ». L’acte théologique pose désormais l’acte d’un sujet qui se met en mouvement, entamant une marche incessante, en travail de désir d’autre et en la rencontre de l’Autre. Le discours théologique porte le produit langagier de cette rencontre dans son (im)-possibilité d’en tenir lieu. La théologie devient ainsi elle-même acte d’énonciation.
Naftas produktu tranzīta stacijas “Ilūkste” teritorijas reālo sanācijas rezultātu salīdzinājums ar 1997. gada datorprognozi
Authors: Pudāne Aija , Seļivanovs Igors , Aleksāns Oļģerts , Spalviņš Aivars
Published: January 2019

Naftas produktu tranzīta stacija “Ilūkste” (turpmāk TS) nodrošina naftas produkta (turpmāk NP) dīzeļdegvielas plūsmu cauruļvadā no Baltkrievijas līdz Ventspilij. No 1970. gada līdz 1996. gadam TS veica arī NP iepildīšanu dzelzceļa cisternās. Tad notika NP noplūdes zem un pie dzelzceļa estakādes. Izveidojās pazemes ūdens piesārņojums ar NP, kas kā peldošs slānis (turpmāk NPPS) sasniedza Ilūkstes upes stāvo krastu. Lai novērstu NP iekļūšanu upē, te tika izrakts NP savākšanas dīķis, no kura varēja aizvākt NP. Piesārņotās teritorijas sanācija sākās 1996. gadā, un tā turpinās arī šobrīd. Kā īpašnieks šos darbus finansē un uzrauga SIA “LatRosTrans”. Kopš 2000. gada sanācijas darbus veic a/s “VentEko”. Šobrīd, pateicoties abu organizāciju sekmīgai ilgstošai sadarbībai un efektīvu NP savākšanas ierīču izmantošanai, piesārņotajā teritorijā praktiski nav NPPS. Diemžēl vēl ilgu laiku piesārņojumu, šķīstot ūdenī, radīs nekustīgā NP daļa gruntī. Rīgas Tehniskās universitātes (RTU) zinātnieki 1997. gadā izveidoja piesārņotās teritorijas hidroģeoloģisko modeli. Izmantojot šo modeli un programmatūru “ARMOS”, izdevās atrast galvenās NP noplūdes avotu. Modelēšana prognozēja, ka pašnotecē 25 gadu laikā NP var ieplūst savākšanas dīķī. RTU 2018. gadā novērtēja sanācijas rezultātus un konstatēja, ka tie visumā atbilst 1997. gada prognozei. Galvenās atšķirības skaidrojamas ar atkārtotām NP noplūdēm. Pieredze, kas iegūta TS “Ilūkste” teritorijas sanācijas gaitā, apstiprina modelēšanas metožu izmantošanas lietderību, uzsākot vides atveseļošanas pasākumu īstenošanu.

The Ilukste oil transit station pipelines ensure the flow of diesel fuel from Belarus to the town Ventspils in Latvia. In 1970–1996, the station also filled fuel (oil) in railway tanks, which resulted in oil leakages. Due to this, the groundwater under the railway terminal routes was contaminated. The groundwater flow enters the nearby Ilukste river. Fortunately, oil discharged over the ground from a steep bank before the river. To prevent the oil inflow into the river, a special pond was dug for its intercepting. Later, in order to divert the oil discharge underground, the horizontal drain for catching oil was installed before the pond.In 1996, remediation of the oil-contaminated station area started, which is followed up until now. The work was supervised and financed by the station owner “LatRosTrans” Ltd. Since 2000, the site sanitation was performed by the company “VentEko”.

The problem of mathematical construction for the process of the control of the metal casting crystallization and cooling in a foundry mold is considered. The casting is surrounded by a layer of sand mixture, which is a porous dispersed medium that conducts heat, in terms of the concepts of the construction of foundry rotary-conveyor lines (RCL). The problem of developing an interval model for determining the speed of the conveyor line from the production of metal castings is studied. Herewith, continuous processes of the transport and technological movement of the processed materials, equipment, tools, energy carriers, and final production output are combined with inevitable stops of this continuity, which lead to discreteness, and a combination with a number of accompanying continuous, discrete or reciprocating processes. The adequacy of the model for the given technological parameters is justified. The mathematical description and agreement of the values of technological parameters for regulation and finding the optimal speed of the conveyor line at the interaction of its component rotational systems, as well as the mathematical models for program control and remote monitoring of technological modes in order to obtain the casting of the given quality are considered. The possibility of selecting the corrective parameters for the change of the conveyor line speed is shown.

“Por que devemos ser bons para com os animais?” A formação prática e moral dos brasileiros por meio dos discursos de proteção aos animais (1930-1939)
Authors: Carvalho de Ostos Natascha Stefania
Published: January 2019

Objective/context: This article analyzes the development of the Sociedade União Infantil Protetora dos Animais, through its magazine Amigo dos Animais, published by that organization throughout the 1930ʼs. The organization was founded in a context where there was more and more of a commitment to the cause of the animals in Brazil, marked by the work of such animal protection societies, the passing of the first federal law for the protection of animals in 1934 and the growing interest in the subject on the part of the press and public opinion. Originality: Environmental History is a field of research which is already well established in Latin America. However, the branch of it which is devoted to the History of Animals has been little explored, especially in Brazil, and requires more attention from scholars. This article investigates the work of groups devoted to the protection of animals, a subject which has been practically ignored in Brazilian historiography, and it makes use of a publication which has not been previously consulted either, the magazine Amigo dos Animais. Methodology: This investigation favors the representational focus on animals, with an analysis of the work and discourses of the Sociedade União Infantil Protetora dos Animais. We believe that the actions and narratives which create the symbolic animal uphold a tense relation with what is called the “real” animal, moving between a dependence on materiality and a resort to the imagination. Conclusions: This study shows that by contending with the categories of man and animal, the pronouncements of the animal protection society were shot through with contradictions which always revealed the wavering nature of these concepts. We provide evidence of how the defense of animals also roused ethical and political dilemmas, since it implied a need to choose what the limits of that protection would be.

JCVI-syn3A, a robust minimal cell with a 543 kbp genome and 493 genes, provides a versatile platform to study the basics of life. Using the vast amount of experimental information available on its precursor, Mycoplasma mycoides capri, we assembled a near-complete metabolic network with 98% of enzymatic reactions supported by annotation or experiment. The model agrees well with genome-scale in vivo transposon mutagenesis experiments, showing a Matthews correlation coefficient of 0.59. The genes in the reconstruction have a high in vivo essentiality or quasi-essentiality of 92% (68% essential), compared to 79% in silico essentiality. This coherent model of the minimal metabolism in JCVI-syn3A at the same time also points toward specific open questions regarding the minimal genome of JCVI-syn3A, which still contains many genes of generic or completely unclear function. In particular, the model, its comparison to in vivo essentiality and proteomics data yield specific hypotheses on gene functions and metabolic capabilities; and provide suggestions for several further gene removals. In this way, the model and its accompanying data guide future investigations of the minimal cell. Finally, the identification of 30 essential genes with unclear function will motivate the search for new biological mechanisms beyond metabolism.
Neuronal morphologies built for reliable physiology in a rhythmic motor circuit

It is often assumed that highly-branched neuronal structures perform compartmentalized computations. However, previously we showed that the Gastric Mill (GM) neuron in the crustacean stomatogastric ganglion (STG) operates like a single electrotonic compartment, despite having thousands of branch points and total cable length >10 mm (Otopalik et al., 2017a; 2017b). Here we show that compact electrotonic architecture is generalizable to other STG neuron types, and that these neurons present direction-insensitive, linear voltage integration, suggesting they pool synaptic inputs across their neuronal structures. We also show, using simulations of 720 cable models spanning a broad range of geometries and passive properties, that compact electrotonus, linear integration, and directional insensitivity in STG neurons arise from their neurite geometries (diameters tapering from 10-20 µm to < 2 µm at their terminal tips). A broad parameter search reveals multiple morphological and biophysical solutions for achieving different degrees of passive electrotonic decrement and computational strategies in the absence of active properties.

Accurate lineage reconstruction of mammalian pre-implantation development is essential for inferring the earliest cell fate decisions. Lineage tracing using global fluorescence labeling techniques is complicated by increasing cell density and rapid embryo rotation, which hampers automatic alignment and accurate cell tracking of obtained four-dimensional imaging data sets. Here, we exploit the advantageous properties of primed convertible fluorescent proteins (pr-pcFPs) to simultaneously visualize the global green and the photoconverted red population in order to minimize tracking uncertainties over prolonged time windows. Confined primed conversion of H2B-pr-mEosFP-labeled nuclei combined with light-sheet imaging greatly facilitates segmentation, classification, and tracking of individual nuclei from the 4-cell stage up to the blastocyst. Using green and red labels as fiducial markers, we computationally correct for rotational and translational drift, reduce overall data size, and accomplish high-fidelity lineage tracing even for increased imaging time intervals – addressing major concerns in the field of volumetric embryo imaging.
A large cockroach from the mesosaur-bearingKonservat-Lagerstätte(Mangrullo Formation), Late Paleozoic of Uruguay
Authors: Calisto Viviana , Piñeiro Graciela
Published: January 2019

Barona arcuata, n.gen et n.sp., a left forewing of a relatively large cockroach of the Order Blattaria, is described from mesosaur-bearing lagoonal shales of the Mangrullo Formation (north-eastern Uruguay). While most of the insect remains recovered from the Mangrullo Formation come from sandy limestones, associated to scarce isolated mesosaur bones and pygocephalomorph crustaceans, the cockroach wing here described was found in the overlaying green to brownish, gray and dark black shales associated to intercalated bentonites and evaporitic gypsum crystals.Barona arcuatashares some features with typical Late Carboniferous taxa such as its general venation pattern and outline of the wing, four main and powerful veins arising close together from near the base of the wing, Sc simple forked, pectinate, reaching the costal border through a long fork, R and M bifurcating and terminating in the wing margin above and below the apex respectively, short and narrow CuA, and the presence of a broad interspace between CuP and AA. Cross venation seems to be absent or it was not preserved. Some characters might relateBarona arcuatato the Late Carboniferous-Early Permian Neothroblattinidae such as the presence of sigmoidal veins in the anal area, a condition not found in any of the remaining representatives of the Palaeozoic Blattaria. Intriguingly, the Uruguayan blattarian also presents a strong similarity withQilianiblatta namurensisZhang, Schneider & Hong, 2012 from the Westphalian of China, clearly a smaller taxon that is also difficult to relate to any of the preexistent families. The apparent plesiomorphic venation pattern of the new species which is reminiscent of that present in the oldest known blattarians, is in agreement with a Permo-Carboniferous (Gzhelian-Asselian) age for the Mangrullo Formation also supported by the presence of a macrofloral assemblage dominated by arborescent lepidondendrids and other lycopsids and the pygocephalid-like morphology of the pygocephalomorph crustaceans from the same levels.
