La expulsión del extranjero como castigo penal
Authors: Salvador Concepción Rosa
Published: May 2017

Resumen: La normativa de aplicación establece que constituye causa de expulsión de un extranjero el que haya sido condenado por la comisión de manera dolosa de una infracción penal que le haya conllevado una condena de más de un año de privación de libertad o el que esté imputado por delitos que conlleven una pena de menos de seis años, suscitándose con el establecimiento de esta medida un intenso debate acerca de la idoneidad de la misma y de si con ella se puede estar incumpliendo el principio de proporcionalidad que ha de regir nuestro sistema sancionador. Es por lo que, en este trabajo vamos a realizar un análisis pormenorizado acerca de lo actuales criterios de aplicación de esta medida y sus inmediatas consecuencias. Abstract: The implementing legislation provides that constitutes grounds for expulsion of a foreigner who has been convicted for committing international way of a criminal offense that has led to a sentence of more than one year´s deprivation of liberty or is charged with crimes that carry a sentence of less than six years, prompting the establishment of this as an intense discussion about the appropriateness of it and if it can not be complying with the proportionality principe that have to govern our system of penalties. And that is why we will perform a detailed analysis of what current criteria for application of this measure and its immediate consequences.

La migración del campo a las ciudades. La pobreza y la exclusión social de los pobladores de la colonia Miguel Alemán en Xalapa, México
Authors: Teajan Ortega María Jesús
Published: May 2017

Resumen: Este trabajo analiza la migración rural-urbana, en particular el caso de los habitantes que llegaron a fundar la Colonia Miguel Alemán en la ciudad de Xalapa. Se hace una descripción de la situación del campo en México y en Veracruz para poder entender el continuo éxodo de campesinos a los centros urbanos. Respecto a los campesinos que llegaron a la colonia, ellos han experimentado condiciones de pobreza extrema y de exclusión social. Para subsistir se han tenido que incorporar a la organización vecinal y con el tiempo esta gestión incide para mejor sus condiciones de vida. Por otra parte, se explica cómo los colonos han ido desarrollando competencias culturales producto de un proceso de hibridación cultural entre las pautas de la sociedad rural tradicional con la cultura urbana a la que se han adaptado. Abstract: This paper analyzes the rural-urban migration, in the special case of the people who founded the Miguel Aleman neighborhood in Xalapa. A description is made of the rural situation in Mexico and in Veracruz, in order to understand the continuing emigration of peasants to urban centers in Mexico. Regarding the peasants who came to this specific neighborhood, they have experienced extreme poverty and social exclusion in relation to housing, education, health services and employment. Because of this, to survive, they have had to join a neighbour organization and through its aid over time, they have improved their living conditions. In addition to this, there is a description of how the recent migrants have been developing cultural competences because of a hybridization process between the patterns of the traditional- rural- social guidelines of their place of origin and the urban culture to which they have adapted.

Authors: Fernández-Borrero Manuela , Vázquez-Aguado Octavio
Published: May 2017

Resumen: La sociedad española es multicultural debido a los movimientos migratorios, lo que conlleva cierta preocupación por conocer procesos sociológicos, de convivencia, integración etc. en contextos de diversidad cultural. El objetivo principal de este estudio es conocer los perfiles de la población autóctona andaluza en relación a su Sensibilidad Intercultural (SI), conocer variables sociodemográficas relevantes, así como proponer líneas de actuación. Han participado 415 personas autóctonas en Andalucía. A través de un muestreo aleatorio sistemático se determinaron las localidades y número de cuestionarios a obtener. Se ha hallado elevada SI, destacando el respeto, la confianza y escasa dificultad de interacción. Se han obtenido cinco clases del análisis tipológico realizado. El género, el nivel de estudios y el contacto con extranjeros son elementos de interés por su asociación significativa con la SI. Abstract: The Spanish society is multicultural due to migration processes, leading to some concern about knowing sociological processes, coexistence, integration etc. in culturally diverse contexts. The main objective of this study is to determine the profiles of the Andalusian native population in relation to their Intercultural Sensitivity (SI), and to analyze and propose future lines of action and research. Participants include 415 native people from Andalusia. Locations and number of questionnaires were determined through a systematic random sampling. The instrument used consists of two parts. The first one corresponds to sociodemographic variables and the second part corresponds to the IS Scale proposed by Chen and Starosta (2000) with 24 items (Likert scale 1-5). The data obtained show high SI, emphasizing respect, trust and little difficulty of interaction. We have obtained a typology of five distinct classes according to responses. Gender, level of education and contact with foreigners are important variables for its significant association with SI.

The impact of return migration on the Mexican labor market
Authors: Mendoza Cota Jorge Eduardo
Published: May 2017

Abstract: Mexican return migration has been stable until 2012, while migration flows to the USA have fallen substantially between 2005 and 2012; the changes in the Mexican migration flows have affected the supply side of the Mexican labor market. The paper analyses the potential effects of the return migration on the Mexican labor market. According to the National Survey of Occupation and Employment (ENOE), return migrants to Mexico started to significantly increase since the third quarter of 2005 to the third quarter of 2009, and after that the number of returned migrants started to slightly decline until the second quarter 2013. Considering the availability of data an empirical econometric model is established including the unemployment rate as dependent variable and the real GDP and socioeconomic characteristics of migrants as explanatory variables. The results showed that changes in return migration have a positive impact in changes in the unemployment rate. On the other hand, the real GDP and migration to the USA have had a negative impact on the unemployment rate of Mexico. Given the increase of unemployment reported in ENOE, the results suggest that the inadequate capacity of the Mexican economy to absorb the return migration workers is limited. Resumen: Desde el 2012, la migración de retorno de México se ha estabilizado mientras que los flujos de trabadores migrantes se ha reducido substancialmente. En este contexto, el presente trabajo analiza los efectos de la migración mexicana de retorno en el mercado laboral en México, en particular, en la tasa de desempleo. De acuerdo a la Encuesta Nacional de Ocupación y Empleo (ENOE), la cantidad de migrantes de retorno hacia México se incrementó entre el tercer trimestre e 2005 y el tercer trimestre de 2009 y, posteriormente, el número de migrantes retornados empezó a declinar ligeramente hasta el 2013. Con base en la disponibilidad de información estadística de la ENOE se realizó una regresión de mínimos cuadrados para analizar el efecto de los cambios del PIB real y los cambios en los flujos migratorios de trabajadores mexicanos a los EUA en los cambios de la tasa de desempleo en México. Los resultados corroboran que los cambios en la migración de retorno tienen un impacto positivo en la tasa de desempleo de México. Por otra parte, el PIB real y la migración de trabajadores mexicanos tienen un impacto negativo en el desempleo laboral de México. Por tanto, considerando que la ENOE ha mostrado un incremento de la tasa de desempleo de México, los resultados sugieren la poca capacidad de la economía mexicana para absorber los migrantes de retorno y la migración declinante de trabajadores mexicanos hacia los EUA.
“Saber alemán”: Inserción de migración calificada mexicana en el mercado laboral de Berlín.
Authors: Peña Muñoz Jesús Javier
Published: May 2017

Resumen: En nuestra investigación usamos el concepto de capital creativo como un instrumento teórico integrador de actividades, perfiles y movilidad de un tipo de migración laboral que llamamos clase creativa. Por medio de un enfoque cualitativo basado en entrevistas semi-estructuradas, observación de campo y análisis de discurso, nos adentramos en las experiencias de integración laboral de migrantes mexicanos de la clase creativa en el mercado laboral de Berlín. Encontramos que su inserción laboral y su “valor” para la economía receptora están condicionados por su capacidad de aprender y ajustar sus cualificaciones y estilo de vida a una “cultura común alemana”. Llamamos a este aprendizaje “saber alemán”. Este saber alemán refleja la orientación de la política migratoria del Estado alemán, la cual ponen a la asimilación cultural como un requisito para la integración económica y política. Abstract: We take the concept of creative capital to identify and analyze a type of skilled migration known as creative class. We employ qualitative research based on interviews to explore the economic insertion of Mexican creative class in Berlin, Germany. We found that the economic insertion of this type of skilled migrants as well as their economic “value” for the receiving economy are conditioned to their ability to learn and adjust their skills and lifestyle to a “common German culture”. We identify this learning process as “understand German”. This process reflects the orientation of the migration policy of the German State in terms of requesting cultural assimilation as a requisite for economic and political integration.
Diversidad y cultura: etnografía de las “ausencias” del paradigma intercultural español. El caso de Granada
Authors: Olmos Alcaraz Antonia , Contini Pierangela
Published: May 2017

Resumen: Los discursos sobre gestión de la diversidad, y en concreto los relativos al interculturalismo como modelo, aparecen en España al constatar la presencia de población extranjera procedente de la inmigración, a principios de los años ‘90. En este artículo se analizan, a través de una etnografía llevada a cabo en contextos urbanos, las ausencias (Santos, 2009) que emergen en el paradigma intercultural español al considerar los conceptos de diversidad y de cultura fundamentalmente en términos étnicos y nacionales, y relacionados casi exclusivamente con la población inmigrante. Dichas ausencias, como se aclarará con la ayuda del material etnográfico producido en el contexto de la ciudad de Granada, generan consecuencias relevantes tanto a nivel epistémico como en la percepción y experimentación de la convivencia en contextos multiculturales. Abstract: The discourses on diversity management, and in particular those relating to interculturalism as a model, appear in Spain on having stated the presence of foreign population proceeding from the immigration. In this article we analyze, through an ethnography carried out in urban contexts, the absences (Santos, 2009), which are emerging in the intercultural Spanish paradigm when considering the concepts of diversity and culture primarily in ethnic and national terms, and related almost exclusively to the immigrant population. Such absences, as we will clarify with the help of the ethnographical material produced in Granada, generate significant consequences at the level of both epistemic as well as in the perception and experimentation of living together in multicultural settings.
La inmigración legal en el marco de la Política Común de Inmigración de la Unión Europea: De un papel secundario a un protagonismo sobrevenido
Authors: Lirola Delgado Isabel , Fernández Liste Ángeles
Published: May 2017

Resumen: El presente trabajo pretende analizar el tratamiento del que ha sido objeto la inmigración legal dentro de la Política Común de Inmigración de la Unión Europea. Desde sus inicios, las Instituciones Europeas se han mostrado partidarias de impulsar la configuración de un marco jurídico para la inmigración legal, en tanto que los Estados miembros se han mantenido reacios a avances significativos. El resultado ha sido la aprobación paulatina de directivas que recogen acuerdos de mínimos, sólo regulan determinadas categorías sectoriales de inmigrantes y que han sido adoptadas según las necesidades de los Estados miembros. Ante esta situación y en un escenario de presión migratoria constante hacia una Unión Europa envejecida y con carencias para cubrir ciertos puestos de trabajo, la adecuada regulación de la inmigración legal se configura como un medio necesario para afrontar dichos retos en el marco de la Agenda Europea de Migración. Abstract: This paper aims to analyze the treatment which has been given to legal immigration in the frame of the European Union Common Immigration Policy. Since the early steps of such policy, the European Institutions have shown in favour of promoting a common legal framework for labour immigration, while Member States have been opposed to significant progress. The result has been the gradual adoption of a package of directives that contain agreements of minimums, only regulate sector-based categories of immigrants and have been adopted according to Member States’ needs. In view of this situation and in a context of constant migratory pressure towards an aging European Union with sector-specific labour shortages, the suitable regulation of legal immigration is included in the European Agenda on Migration as a necessary means to tackle these challenges.
La construcción mediática de la migración en el Mediterráneo: ¿nociudadanía en la prensa española?
Authors: Fajardo Fernández Rocío , Soriano Miras Rosa M.
Published: May 2017

Resumen: El objetivo del presente artículo es desvelar el relato de la prensa española sobre los migrantes que intentan cruzar la frontera de la Unión Europea pero se ven estancados en la misma a causa de la estrecha vigilancia. Para ello, se ha llevado a cabo el análisis de contenido y el análisis crítico del discurso de una muestra de noticias de varios periódicos nacionales, de aquellas que informan sobre la migración irregular en el Mediterráneo. No se han encontrado grandes diferencias en el tratamiento de las noticias publicadas por los periódicos seleccionados. La construcción del discurso sigue la lógica de las políticas migratorias de la Unión Europea, que consisten en la externalización de las fronteras (la gestión de las mismas fuera de la UE) y la producción estatal y mediática del estatuto de irregularidad de la migración. En el discurso mediático los migrantes son retratados en la mayoría de los casos como agentes pasivos, como víctimas de las mafias o como objeto de atención asistencial por parte de diferentes entidades. En algunas noticias aparecen como actores que hacen uso de la violencia para alcanzar su propósito, mientras que son pocos los casos en los que aparecen como sujeto activo no asociado a conflictos. En suma, el relato dominante “desciudadaniza” a estas personas en los distintos discursos analizados. Abstract: The main purpose of the present article is to uncover the account of the Spanish press about migrants who try to cross the European Union border but find themselves at a standstill caused by the strong surveillance. In order to that, we use both content analysis and critical discourse analysis of a news sample of several national newspapers, specifically of those news which inform about irregular migration in the Mediterranean Sea. We haven’t found huge differences in the news treatment offered by selected newspapers. The way that the discourse concerning migration is elaborated follows the logic of European migration policy, which is based on the externalization of borders (the management of EU borders abroad) and the state and media production of the statute of irregularity of migrants. According to the discourse of the media, migrants are reflected in most cases as passive agents, mafia victims or assisted by different entities. Sometimes they appear as actors using violence to reach their purpose while the image of them as an active subject which is not linked to conflicts is limited. To sum up, the prevailing discourse “takes citizenship away” from these people, as we have seen in the analyses of the different media outlets.

Authors: Christantyawati Nevrettia
Published: May 2017

The haze disaster that have been devastating many regions in Indonesia from July to October 2015, was stated as national tragedy by the Government. As a consequence, there were many cases of public health deterioration.There were many efforts done to tackle this crisis due to provision of public information. In a contrary, there were also many angry public statements and dissatisfaction.This paper will scrutinize the content of using social media, particularly twitter, as various channels and mediums employed in order to cast overwhelming information to public. This is because social media pervasively and easily gets through to wide range of public. It has a high promptness and simplicity in stating effective messaging. The observation conducted through collecting data during the haze have been occuring since July until October 2015. Furthermore, the research will pore over public communication that commited by the National Disaster and Mitigation Guard, Non Government Organization and Mass Media.More over, the research  is part of risk and crisis communication in overcoming the mitigation of haze disaster and due to public health. The outcome will be able to contribute to figure out the tendency of risk and crisis communication patterns in Indonesia.Finally, the conclusion leads to the relevancy of connectivity amid society, state and capitalists in public communication.Keywords : risk and crisis communication, haze disaster, social media.
Monist Dramaturgy in Strindberg’sThe Black Glove
Authors: Balkin Sarah
Published: May 2017

During his Inferno period (1894–97), August Strindberg studied Ernst Haeckel’s monism, which sought to bring the divine back into Darwinist natural science and proclaimed the unity of all matter. Monism influenced a range of late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century artistic, social, and political movements, including art nouveau, the historical avant-garde, spiritualism and the occult revival, the early women’s and homosexual rights movements, and eugenics. Strindberg’s study of Haeckel’s monism coincided with his alchemical investigations into the transformability of matter. These occult studies altered Strindberg’s dramaturgical approach to human and non-human stage matter, particularly the affective relations among characters, settings, and props. This article tracks Strindberg’s engagement with Haeckel’s ideas and posits nineteenth-century monism as an inverse predecessor to present-day new materialisms.
Feeling, Sensation, and Being Moved: Case Studies in Affective Performance
Authors: Varney Denise
Published: May 2017

This article examines three recent adaptations of canonical works of modern drama – Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler, Tennessee Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire, and Botho Strauss’s Gross und Klein – that resituate their historically troubled female characters within the temporality of the contemporary spectator. It argues that Katharina Schüttler’s cool and detached Hedda for the Schaubühne Berlin production, Isabelle Huppert’s karaoke-singing Blanche DuBois in Odéon – Théâtre de l’Europe’s Un tramway, and Cate Blanchett’s emotionally vulnerable Lotte in the Sydney Theatre Company’s production of Gross und Klein bring gestural extra-literary qualities to the characters and unexpected affective registers that call for a new interpretation of gendered experience. The analysis focuses therefore on the feeling, somatic, non-cognitive, and pre-rational sides of lived experience in the west today. It is interested in how gender and emotion, sociality, and historicity produce gestic affects that move audiences along the pathways of reactive feeling and sensation.
Effect of grain size on hydration and rheological behavior of calcium aluminate cements containing spinel
Authors: Wang Yulong , Li Xiangcheng , Zhu Boquan , Chen Pingan , Sheng Yong
Published: May 2017

In this paper, using industrial alumina, calcined magnesite, ground calcium carbonate as raw materials, spinel-containing calcium aluminate cements (CMA) were prepared at 1500 °C with different calcine holding times (3 h and 6 h). The mineral composition and microstructural characteristics of prepared cement samples were studied using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, and their hydration and rheological behavior were also investigated. The results indicated that increasing holding time can promote growth of CaAl2O4 grains and reduce setting time. The hydration mechanism of CMA follows the nucleation and crystal growth–diffusion (NG–D) process, and the hydration rate of CMA–3 h in the acceleratory period is higher than that of CMA–6 h, but there is no significant distinction in deceleration and stabilization periods. The slowdown of hydration rate directly affects the rheological behavior of CMA slurry, leading to decrease in yield stress, and thixotropic character. Also, the storage modulus (G') growth rate of CMA–3 h slurry is significantly higher than for CMA–6 h slurry, indicating the CMA synthesized at 1500 °C for 6 h possesses lower hydration activity.

Conversion-type lithium ion batteries experience severe and partly irreversible phase transitions during operation. Such phase transitions reduce the crystallite size and therefore enhance the exchange of the Li ions. Concurrently, the irreversible nature of the phase transitions may deteriorate the cycling stability and the long-term capacity of conversion-type batteries. In this contribution, the observed correlations between the crystal structures of compounds which are employed as anodes in conversion-type Li ion cells, the capacity and the long-term stability of these cells are discussed. The central characteristics affecting the performance of conversion-type Li ion cells seem to be the similarity of crystal structures of intermediately forming phases during the charge/discharge process, which facilitates strong local preferred orientation of nanocrystallites of neighboring phases and for the formation of local strain fields at partially coherent phase boundaries. The effect of the above-mentioned phenomena on capacity and cycle stability is argued from the point of view of a possibly impeded ion exchange. Equilibrium open circuit potentials are calculated using the CALPHAD method. However, it is shown that in order to better reproduce the experimentally determined plateau voltages, thermodynamic descriptions of the non-equilibrium intermediate phases have to be included. In addition, the stabilization of the conversion reaction by the electrolyte is pointed out.
Simulation of directional solidification furnace with bottom opening insulation to grow quality mc-Si ingot for PV applications
Authors: Nagarajan Somi Ganesan , Srinivasan Manickam , Aravinth Karuppanan , Ramasamy Perumalsamy
Published: May 2017

2D axi-symmetric transient simulation based on the thermo-plastic model was carried out for analyzing the thermal field of directional solidification (DS) furnaces during the solidification process. The simulation was carried out for two different furnaces: One conventional DS furnace and the other a modified DS furnace. In the modified DS furnace the bottom insulation was provided with a circular shape opening. The simulation was performed for conventional and modified furnaces which suggest that the lifting velocity of the side insulation in the conventional DS furnace significantly affects the solidification process of mc-Si ingot and the opening speed of the bottom insulation in the modified DS furnace has less influence on solidification and also gives optimal conditions to grow good quality mc-Si ingots. The results for conventional and modified DS grown mc-Si ingots were taken with two different insulation lifting profiles and their influence on thermally induced stress, dislocation density and growth rate were compared and analyzed.
A modified parallel constitutive model for elevated temperature flow behavior of Ti-6Al-4V alloy based on multiple regression
Authors: Cai Jun , Shi Jiamin , Wang Kuaishe , Li Fuguo , Wang Wen , Wang Qingjuan , Liu Yingying
Published: May 2017

Constitutive analysis for hot working of Ti-6Al-4V alloy was carried out by using experimental stress–strain data from isothermal hot compression tests. A new kind of constitutive equation called a modified parallel constitutive model was proposed by considering the independent effects of strain, strain rate and temperature. The predicted flow stress data were compared with the experimental data. Statistical analysis was introduced to verify the validity of the developed constitutive equation. Subsequently, the accuracy of the proposed constitutive equations was evaluated by comparing with other constitutive models. The results showed that the developed modified parallel constitutive model based on multiple regression could predict flow stress of Ti-6Al-4V alloy with good correlation and generalization.
Urban forestry and urban greening for sustainable urban development-A case of Dhaka north city corporation area (Zone-1)
Authors: Roy S , Dutta S , Hoque MM
Published: May 2017

Urban forestry and urban greening is one of the most substantial factors for sustainable urban development, which can contribute towards good quality of life and sound environment. Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh once renowned for its green resources but in recent times the city is losing its greeneries very rapidly. This study was intended to explore the status of urban greening as well as to investigate the prospects and challenges for enhancing urban forestry and urban greening in Dhaka North city corporation area (Zone-1). This study focused on the qualitative approach where interview with key informants, questionnaire survey and observation techniques were followed to obtain required information. The study identified some factors that are responsible for losing of green resources in Dhaka city including transformation of existing green areas or open spaces to other land use purposes, unplanned urbanization & improper planning, rapid increase of urban population and lack of conservation activities for protecting the existing greeneries. The study also revealed that still there are ample opportunities to enhance the greeneries in Dhaka city by conserving the existing green areas (e.g. parks, gardens, playgrounds etc.), increasing roadside plantation, promoting homestead and rooftop gardening and by initiating afforestation and nursery activities.J.

Authors: Khan SA , Saqib MN , Alim MA
Published: May 2017

In this study, attempt was taken to increase the functionality of cake by substituting wheat flour with 10%, 20%, and 30% jackfruit seed flour (JSF). JSF contained 6.29% moisture, 13.23% protein, 3.09% crude fibre, 73.42% carbohydrates, 2.72% ash and 1.25% fat, and wheat flour contained 12.86% moisture, 1.2% ash, 10.76% protein, 1.32% fat, 1.4% crude fibre and 72.46% carbohydrate. Three cake samples were prepared with composite flour (JSF and wheat flour)mixed with other ingredients and compared with a control sample. The specific volume of cake for 20% substitution was higher than that of all other cakes. The crust and the crumb characteristics changed with the incorporation of JSF. Proximate composition of the cakes like carbohydrate, ash, fibre and protein increased with the substitution of JSF, butfat and protein decreased. Nutritionally, composite cakes with different levels of JSF were found better than control sample. In sensory tests, significant changes were found in color, flavour, texture and taste, and overall acceptability of cakes were observed with the increase of substitution. However, cake with 10% JSF incorporation got the highest acceptability by the panelists.J. Bangladesh Agril. Univ. 14(2): 219-227, December 2016
Histological study of the developing gonads of endangered freshwater spiny eel, Mastacembelus armatus during the reproductive cycle
Authors: Ali MR , Rahman MM , Sarder MRI , Mollah MFA
Published: May 2017

The spiny eel, Mastacembelus armatus is one of the most common and economically important inland teleost species of Asia having high market and nutritive values. The demand for the fish is almost always exceeds its supply. Histological analysis of developmental stages of both oocytes and sperrnatocytes maturation were undertaken and dimensions of ovarian oocytes were observed to evaluate the annual reproductive condition of M. armatus during August 2012 to July 2013. Monthly sampling of adult individuals of M. armatus was done from haor region of Kishoreganj district, Bangladesh. Both the gonads were paired, elongated and of unequal in length. The colour of ovaries varied from reddish brown to light yellowish; whereas, testes varied from whitish to creamy or dull white. From the histological study, five stages of oocyte development (oogonia, chromatin nucleolar stage oocyte, perinucleolar stage oocytes, yolk vesicle oocyte, and yolk granule stage) were observed upon their changes in nucleus. Female M. armatus having immature stages of oocytes (early and late perinucleolar stage oocytes) were mostly available in the months of November and December. Yolk vesicle stage oocytes appeared during the months of January and February. Early yolk granule stage oocytes appeared during the months of March and April while late yolk granule stage oocytes were observed during the months of May and June. Oocytes and nuclei diameters were observed ranged from 121050 ?m and 10212 ?m, respectively until ovulation. In male gonads, four stages of spermatogenesis (spermatogonia, spermatocytes, spermatids, and spermatozoa) were distinguished during the study period where spermatids were prominent in January to March and spermatozoa in April to July. From this study, the peak gonadal development of M. armatus is found in June and thus, it is clearly indicated that the fish breed during May to June.J. Bangladesh Agril.

Thomas More's “rule” of pleasure before, after, and in Utopia
Authors: Wegemer Gerard
Published: May 2017

After establishing a context of More's lifelong engagement with the “calculus” of pleasure, this essay shows how the section devoted to the Utopians' pleasure philosophy is structured around five formulations of a “rule” to calculate “true and honest [honesta]” pleasure in ways that playfully imitate and echo the “rule” Cicero formulates several times in De officiis to discern one's duty when there seems to be a conflict between honestas et utilitas. When followed, the Utopian pleasure calculus shows the necessary role of societas, officii, iustitia, caritas, and the other aspects of human nature, most importantly friendship, that Cicero stresses in his rule and that he argued Epicurus ignored. Much of the irony and humor of this section depends on seeing the predominance of Ciceronian vocabulary in Raphael's unusual defense [patrocinium] of pleasure, rather than a Ciceronian defense of duty rooted in honestas. Throughout, however, this essay also shows how More goes beyond Cicero by including Augustinian and biblical allusions to suggest ways that our final end is not as Epicurus or the Stoics or Cicero claim; the language and allusions of this section point to a level of good cheer and care for neighbors and for God in ways quite different from any classical thinker.

La autopista de Congress Street
Authors: Van Gorp Dick
Published: May 2017

Para la construcción de la gran autopista denominada de Congress Street, de la ciudad de Chicago (EE. UU.) se tuvo que pasar por debajo de la Central de correos, de cuyas obras se dio cuenta en el número 78 de esta revista. En este trabajo se describen los métodos constructivos que se emplearon para pasar, también por debajo, las once vías y plataformas de la estación ferroviaria de la calle La Salle; pero, con la particularidad, que el tráfico ferroviario sólo podía ser interrumpido en dos vías a la vez, condición que parecía difícil en principio y que finalmente se resolvió con relativa facilidad.
¿Queremos más o menos? Desencuentros entre las horas de trabajo que tenemos y las que preferimos en España, 2005-2014
Authors: Torre Fernández Margarita
Published: May 2017

Los desajustes entre el número de horas que la gente trabaja y el que desearía trabajar son frecuentes y tienen importantes consecuencias para la vida individual, familiar y organizativa. Este trabajo contribuye a la investigación sobre los efectos de la crisis económica en la calidad del trabajo. A partir de datos de la Encuesta Española de Población Activa (LFS) entre 2005 y 2014, este estudio testa tres escenarios alternativos sobre las tendencias de los desajustes en las horas de trabajo en tiempos de crisis. El estudio revela que el nivel de desajustes ha crecido significativamente con la recesión económica, debido al aumento de personas que desean trabajar más horas de las que trabajan. Los resultados muestran que este aumento ha sido particularmente llamativo entre los trabajadores con contratos temporales, a tiempo parcial, en ocupaciones de bajo estatus y mujeres. Como resultado, la crisis económica ha acelerado la brecha entre trabajadores de alto y bajo estatus en la última década significativamente.
Riesgo de reincidencia y evolución, a través del Inventario IGI-J en una población de menores infractores
Authors: Cuervo Gómez Keren , Villanueva Badenes Lidón , Pérez Castillo Jesús María
Published: May 2017

La evaluación del riesgo de reincidencia juvenil permite comprender los factores de riesgo específicos que impulsan al menor a la comisión de actos delictivos. La mayoría de estos menores tendrán una relación puntual con el sistema judicial y solo un pequeño porcentaje persistirá en este tipo de conductas. Sin embargo, parece que la sociedad percibe a estos menores como de alto riesgo y con altos niveles de reincidencia. Por ello, con la premisa de dilucidar esta cuestión, el objetivo de este trabajo sería el de explorar el riesgo de reincidencia general, así como las áreas con mayor riesgo, realizando un seguimiento prospectivo de la evolución del nivel de riesgo de los menores infractores reincidentes. Los participantes de esta investigación fueron los menores con expediente judicial en el Juzgado de Menores de Castellón (N= 210), a los que se aplicó el Inventario de evaluación del riesgo de reincidencia (IGI-J), a lo largo de los distintos periodos de tiempo del seguimiento de 2 años. Los resultados mostraron un perfil mayoritario de menores con un nivel de riesgo bajo y un contacto puntual con el sistema judicial, rebatiendo por tanto la creencia de la peligrosidad general de los menores infractores. Por el contrario, los menores reincidentes con largas trayectorias delictivas, sí se caracterizan por un alto riesgo que iría aumentando a lo largo del periodo de seguimiento.
Frugoni, Chiara. Le Moyen âge par ses images. Paris: Les Belles Lettres, 2015, 388 p.
Authors: Lima Wallas Jefferson
Published: May 2017

Le Moyen âge par ses images é um dos mais felizes exemplos de como investigação crítica, método e interpretação podem amalgamar-se para produzir uma obra referencial carregada de valor histórico. Talvez, se dispostos isoladamente, tais elementos não provocariam o impacto no leitor, altamente proveitoso quando se pensa o conjunto do livro. A História torna-se arte, em sua plenitude, pelo encantamento que se processa em escritas como essa. Isso ocorre porque a obra de Chiara Frugoni, respeitada medievalista italiana, inova ao confrontar narrativas imagéticas relacionando-as com o simbólico, o metafórico e o místico. Essa escolha metodológica é facilmente explicável: para se compreender a imagem medieval, torna-se fundamental investigar suas dimensões ideológicas, seus significados culturais e suas funções estéticas. Apenas assim, defende Frugoni, poder-se-ia projetar uma análise histórica que, agregando saberes entrelaçados, se desdobra automaticamente em temas como imaginário coletivo, formas de devoção e práticas religiosas. Ao longo de todo o livro, tais questões expandem-se em uma liberdade associativa entre personagens e contextualizações temporais.
Impact of a nutrition/educational program in a group of type 2 diabetes patients, already involved in a wider â€œGroup Careâ€ plan and not achieving complete target: an observational study
Authors: Comba Anna , Ardizzone Alessandra , Leto Laura , Feola Mauro
Published: May 2017

Type 2 diabetes is one of the most frequent chronic degenerative diseases in the world (5.4% in Italy); it has many chronic consequences with a significant impact either on expectation or quality of life. About 80-90% of type 2 diabetes patients is either overweight or obese, condition that can cause many more negative consequences than in individuals in the same conditions but with normal weight. The aim of the research is to assess if diabetic people who cannot reach the goals of glycemic control, good eating habits and weight loss can eventually obtain, with an individualized care plan, long lasting improvements. This study involved a little group of diabetic patients who did not achieve an optimal therapeutic target. These patients have been individually followed by a dietician for six months through a program of dietetic counseling and regular controls and at the end we compare the results of another group of diabetic people, involved in the Group Care Plan (but without the support of the dietitian). The nutrition educational program determined a significant weight loss (- 4.62 kg vs + 3.46 kg; p<0.05), a reduction of waist circumference (-5.34 cm vs + 4.15 cm; p<0.05), an improvement of glycemic control (Hb1Ac: - 0.67 % vs + 0.57%; p<0.05), lipidic profile (total cholesterol: - 1 mg/dl vs + 12.85 mg/dl; p<0.05) and perceived quality of life (Test Att 19: 0 subjects vs 6 subjects). An individualized nutrition educational program in patients with type 2 diabetes not achieving a therapeutic target can optimize global care of the disease.Â
Septic pericarditis and pneumopericardium in a dog with an oesophageal foreign body
Authors: Botha Willem J. , Mukorera Varaidzo , Kirberger Robert M.
Published: May 2017

A 5-year-old, intact, male Yorkshire Terrier presented with a 6-day history of lethargy and anorexia. Clinical examination revealed dental plaque accumulation, abdominal effort during respiration and muffled heart sounds. Thoracic radiographs revealed an enlarged globoid cardiac silhouette and mild pneumopericardium, transthoracic ultrasonography revealed a pericardial effusion after which pericardiocentesis, cytology and culture diagnosed septic pericarditis. Three multidrug-resistant bacteria were isolated, two of which have been implicated in gas-producing infections before. Medical management failed to resolve the pericarditis and euthanasia was opted for. A chronic osseocartilaginous oesophageal foreign body cranial to the heart base was found on necropsy. Septic pericarditis and pneumopericardium are rare conditions in dogs. This is the first case to describe a multidrug-resistant polybacterial aetiology causing mild pneumopericardium and only the second case to describe septic pericarditis associated with an oesophageal foreign body.
