Caracterización de la violencia en la relación de pareja en el contexto de la minería aurífera en dos municipios de influencia del páramo de Santurbán
Authors: Andrade Manjarres Lucia , Alvarez Orozco René , Valencia Atuesta Yinny Paola
Published: January 2020

El presente artículo parte de una investigación que pretende describir y analizar la forma como se configura la violencia de pareja contra la mujer en los municipios de Vetas y California entre los años 2008 a 2015 desde el análisis estadístico y de discurso. En los municipios de Vetas y California se han venido generando una serie de conflictos socio-ambientales resultado del interés de explotación de los recursos minerales de la región. El proyecto desarrollado por la UIS plantea adentrarse en análisis de los conflictos sociales expresados a través de la violencia de pareja y de género contra la mujer y su relación con la explotación aurífera. Se encontró la existencia de tres factores que subyacen a la violencia de pareja contra la mujer en Vetas y California: Una fuerte división sexual del trabajo, la minería y un alto consumo de alcohol. Las autoridades deben crear políticas públicas en estos municipios que den cuenta de la afectación del conflicto socioambiental en Santurban a la mujeres de la zona y su garantía a vivir una vida libre de violencias.
Stabilized Benders Methods for Large-Scale Combinatorial Optimization, with Application to Data Privacy
Authors: Baena Daniel , Castro Jordi , Frangioni Antonio
Published: January 2020

The cell-suppression problem (CSP) is a very large mixed-integer linear problem arising in statistical disclosure control. However, CSP has the typical structure that allows application of the Benders decomposition, which is known to suffer from oscillation and slow convergence, compounded with the fact that the master problem is combinatorial. To overcome this drawback, we present a stabilized Benders decomposition whose master is restricted to a neighborhood of successful candidates by local-branching constraints, which are dynamically adjusted, and even dropped, during the iterations. Our experiments with synthetic and real-world instances with up to 24,000 binary variables, 181 million (M) continuous variables, and 367M constraints show that our approach is competitive with both the current state-of-the-art code for CSP and the Benders implementation in CPLEX 12.7. In some instances, stabilized Benders provided a very good solution in less than 1 minute, whereas the other approaches found no feasible solution in 1 hour.

Index Policies and Performance Bounds for Dynamic Selection Problems
Authors: Brown David B. , Smith James E.
Published: January 2020

We consider dynamic selection problems, where a decision maker repeatedly selects a set of items from a larger collection of available items. A classic example is the dynamic assortment problem with demand learning, where a retailer chooses items to offer for sale subject to a display space constraint. The retailer may adjust the assortment over time in response to the observed demand. These dynamic selection problems are naturally formulated as stochastic dynamic programs (DPs) but are difficult to solve because the optimal selection decisions depend on the states of all items. In this paper, we study heuristic policies for dynamic selection problems and provide upper bounds on the performance of an optimal policy that can be used to assess the performance of a heuristic policy. The policies and bounds that we consider are based on a Lagrangian relaxation of the DP that relaxes the constraint limiting the number of items that may be selected. We characterize the performance of the Lagrangian index policy and bound and show that, under mild conditions, these policies and bounds are asymptotically optimal for problems with many items; mixed policies and tiebreaking play an essential role in the analysis of these index policies and can have a surprising impact on performance. We demonstrate these policies and bounds in two large scale examples: a dynamic assortment problem with demand learning and an applicant screening problem.

Sidewalk Accessibility and Pedestrian Safety among Students with Physical Disability in the University of Cape Coast
Authors: Odame Prince Kwame , Amoako-Sakyi Regina Obilie
Published: January 2020

In pursuance of the UN’s Convention on the Right of Persons with Disability and Ghana’s disability act, the University of Cape Coast has equally instituted a string of interventions to ensure equitable access to its facilities to all students regardless of one’s disability. Emphasis on this has however focused on the modification and inclusion of disability accessories in the construction of new facilities as well as the enactment of disability inclined policies related to admission, residential status and others aspect of campus life. One key area that has not received much attention has been the nature of campus walking environment and how it promotes easy mobility among all students’ groups. To assess the nature of campus walking environment, the study employed the use of an accessibility auditing scheme and also engaged 30 visually impaired and one wheelchair user who were reached through snowballing. An in-depth interview guide was used as the primary data collection instrument for the qualitative study. The study found that the absence of walkway in some high pedestrian traffic areas, discontinuity of sidewalk and path obstructing objects were key factors that reduced the ease with which students with disability use sidewalk on campus. The study recommends an overhauling of the current walking environment as well as enforcement of state and international policy regarding the development of an inclusive environment.
Accidental Administration of Auto-Injectable Adrenaline into a Digit
Authors: Wanis Christine , Jawad Huda , Moore Richard J , Burke Julie
Published: January 2020

General Dental Practitioners (GDPs) and Dental Care Professionals (DCPs) have a duty of care to ensure that patient safety is at the forefront of their clinical practice. Medical emergencies, although rare, can occur in the dental setting, and early, effective management of these emergencies can, not only save lives, but also improve long-term outcomes. A case is reported which highlights a safety incident involving accidental self-administration of an adrenaline auto-injector (AAI) into a digit during a medical emergencies training session. Consequently, the aim is to raise awareness of these unexpected safety incidences and propose a protocol for the treatment of such injuries.

CPD/Clinical Relevance: This paper highlights the importance of vigilance when undertaking a medical emergency training course, and the introduction of a new protocol to be used in cases of accidental AAI injury.

A Sialolith and a Megalith: a Report of Two Cases
Authors: Asif Jawaad Ahmed , Ahmad Paras , Noorani Tahir Yusuf
Published: January 2020

Sialolithiasis is considered as one of the most frequently encountered diseases of the salivary glands. The most susceptible site is the submandibular gland and its duct. However, megaliths have been sparsely reported in the literature. This article portrays management of a sialolith and a megalith in a 26-year-old and a 59-year-old male patient, respectively. The sialolith in the first case case was 4 mm long, whereas the second case demonstrated a megalith measuring 46 mm at its greatest size. Follow-up revealed normal functioning and a painless gland in the first case, while the second case showed no eventful complications. It is interesting to know that both patients remained relatively pain-free, despite having such longstanding sialolith/megaliths. After removal of the small sialolith, the gland regained its normal functioning swiftly, whereas in the case of the megalith, the gland removal was mandatory because such a longstanding megalith led to irreversible functional injury to the gland.

CPD/Clinical Relevance: A giant sialolith can be easily misdiagnosed as a submandibular infection or neoplasm, especially when the patient presents with a longstanding pain-free swelling. Hence, early and appropriate referral and investigation is necessary for early diagnosis and treatment.
Case report of a geminated premolar and hypodontia
Authors: Sinnott Paula , Sah Sunil , Barker Chris
Published: January 2020

This case report describes the diagnosis and treatment of a non-syndromic unilateral geminated second premolar complicated by hypodontia of three second premolars. Gemination is defined as a developmental disturbance of the shape of teeth and is usually recognized as a partial cleavage of a single tooth germ resulting in one root and one pulp space with two partially or totally separated crowns. Hypodontia is defined as the developmental absence of one or more teeth, excluding the third molars. Geminations of maxillary second premolars are rarely reported. These dental anomalies can cause local malocclusion manifesting as crowding or spacing.

CPD/Clinical Relevance: Diagnosis of dental anomalies such as gemination can be difficult. This paper discusses the diagnosis and management of one such case which involved CBCT.

Translator’s Introduction
Authors: Ibn Kammūna al-Baghdādī Sa‘d ibn Mansur
Published: January 2020

This introductory chapter provides a short biography of Ibn Kammūna and the historical context in which he lived. It also discusses the background behind the text this volume translates: the Kalimāt wajīza mushtamila ʻalā nukat lạtīfa fī al-ʻilm wa-l-ʻamal, literally “Brief Words Containing Nice Points Concerning Knowledge and Practice.” The Kalimāt is meant to contain in capsular form Ibn Kammūna's “discourse on intellectual matters (ʿaqliyyāt).” He includes in it “nice points concerning knowledge and practice” which he organized symmetrically: two “gates,” or sets of “points,” on knowledge and two on practice. The sections on knowledge deal with knowledge of the deity, or the “Necessary Existent,” and knowledge of the soul—which amounts to a person's knowledge of their own self. The first section on practice concerns personal ethics, the second political matters—that is, advice on how to govern.
On Knowledge
Authors: Ibn Kammūna al-Baghdādī Sa‘d ibn Mansur
Published: January 2020

This chapter is a treatise on knowledge. It first discusses the “categories of knowledge” and explicates on what the true knowledge—or the knowledge of “true realities”—consists of. It then introduces the “Supreme Being,” an entity whose name's meaning is rather subtle and rife with philosophical connotations. Afterward, the chapter takes up attributes (properties, descriptions) of the deity that must be confirmed, and another set that must be denied. From there on, the chapter makes a significant refutation of dualism—the counterpart to monotheism—which becomes a major focus of the final section of this chapter. To this end, this chapter demonstrates that the “Governor of the Cosmos” has no partner and also makes a very brief rebuttal of the possibility that there be more than one cosmos.
Congress, the President, and Domestic Policy: Who Governs?
Authors: Ginsberg Benjamin , Hill Kathryn Wagner
Published: January 2020

This chapter looks at the patterns of conflict and cooperation between the president and Congress in the realm of domestic policy. Here, congressional power depends upon constituency, organization, and Congress's relationship to the executive. In the realm of domestic policy, its inability to solve this third problem has gradually pushed Congress into a subordinate role. This is because initiative in lawmaking has gradually passed from the Congress to the president, with most major pieces of legislation emanating from the White House. The president's role, in principle, is to execute the laws enacted by Congress. Nowhere does the Constitution suggest that the president is expected to take a lead role in lawmaking. Yet, many presidents have taken a broad view of their responsibilities, and, since the 1930s and Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, every president has proposed packages of programs and policies to the Congress.
Congress and the Bureaucracy: Who Makes the Law?
Authors: Ginsberg Benjamin , Hill Kathryn Wagner
Published: January 2020

This chapter concerns how Congress deals with bureaucratic power. Much of today's federal bureaucracy can trace its origins to Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. Under FDR's leadership, the federal government began to take responsibility for management of the economy, provision of social services, protection of the public's health, maintenance of employment opportunities, promotion of social equality, protection of the environment, and a host of other tasks. As the government's responsibilities and ambitions grew, Congress assigned more and more complex tasks to the agencies of the executive branch, which sometimes were only too happy to expand their own power and autonomy. Executive agencies came to be tasked with the responsibility for analyzing and acting upon economic data; assessing the environmental impact of programs and projects; responding to fluctuations in the labor market; safeguarding the food supply; regulating the stock market; supervising telecommunications and air, sea, and land transport; and, in recent years, protecting the nation from terrorist plots.
Reflections on Congress
Authors: Ginsberg Benjamin , Hill Kathryn Wagner
Published: January 2020

This chapter looks at several common complaints about Congress. When Americans are asked why they have a negative image of the Congress, three factors appear to stand out. First, Congress is seen as having slow and cumbersome procedures that interfere with “getting the job done.” Second, Congress is seen as polarized, with members unwilling to develop the compromises needed to serve the public interest. Third, Congress is seen as corrupt, serving lobbyists, special interests, and campaign contributors rather than the American people. The chapter thus considers whether these charges amount to a serious indictment of Congress, its members, and its procedures.
Patterns of Human Settlement and Industrialization
Authors: Southgate Emily W. B. Russell
Published: January 2020

This chapter treats a variety of human interactions with the land that trace their origins more to political and commercial drivers rather than directly to geology, topography, soils and local biota. Examples of land subdivisions are taken mostly from the United States, which illustrates a variety of land-use patterns that result from property surveys. Land hunger and government policies have also contributed to wars, which have altered landscapes. These have characterized the history of most parts of the world, having major repercussions on the environment as well as on people. Examples range over time and space. Industrialization increased the ability of people to travel and thus trade quickly over long distances thus intensifying and extending the impact of humans on the land, especially as industrialization further separated local land use from resource protection. Cities have flourished, often along trade routes, perhaps even before the development of agriculture Some all but disappeared, but all have had both local and regional effects on the land. Examples are discussed of effects both within cities today and resulting from cities that no longer exist.
Biospheric Sustainability in a Changing World
Authors: Southgate Emily W. B. Russell
Published: January 2020

This chapter discusses the concept of sustainability using as a specific example concerns about the sustainability of oak-dominated forests in the northeastern United States. The discussion from the first edition is updated with current research, leading to the conclusion that climate is the most critical factor in determining species ranges even in human-dominated landscapes, and that fluctuations during the Holocene have been reflected not only in altered species composition of forests, but also in human populations and thus land use. At the same time, changes wrought by people have influenced decadal dynamics, such as secondary successional patterns, and often all but eliminated species within some plant communities, by land use change. Merely comparing present to inferred processes in the past misses vital factors in change; inference must be supported by historical data. Worldwide, droughts inferred from multi-proxy data can be correlated with declines in human populations as well as with changed vegetation, regardless of the complexity of the civilizations and agricultural systems. Managing systems for sustainability, requires consideration of legacies left by past land use.
A Fragile Truce
Authors: Rahe Paul A.
Published: January 2020

This concluding chapter discusses the agreement conducted between the Athenian diplomat Callias and the Spartans during the 440s. The resulting arrangement reflected an enduring balance of power. It acknowledged the facts and left the Spartans and their allies supreme on land and the Athenians supreme at sea. In the aftermath, neither was in a position to strike terror into the other. The Peloponnesus was once again a bastion of defense for Lacedaemon, and Athens retained her Long Walls, her maritime allies, and her great fleet. Furthermore, neither Sparta nor Athens nursed a grievance. Apart from Aegina and Naupactus and perhaps Molycreium to the north of the Corinthian Gulf and Chalcis to the west on the north shore of the Gulf of Patras, Athens relinquished everything that she had seized. None of her remaining acquisitions lay within Lacedaemon's natural sphere of influence; and, to head off possible objections on the part of the Spartans, she may even have reiterated that she would honor the autonomy of their sometime allies the Aeginetans.
Dream Visions and Prophecies
Authors: Litwa M. David
Published: January 2020

This chapter compares dream visions and prophecies in mythic historiography with analogous stories in the gospels. Most of the visions and prophecies reveal the birth of a divine child. Fathers have dreams or oracles instructing them not to thwart the divine will. Older prophets play a role and have intimate conversations with mothers. The comparison of Simeon in Lukan myth and the Roman Nigidius Figulus is developed at length.
Empty Tombs and Translation
Authors: Litwa M. David
Published: January 2020

This chapter first compares Jesus’s translation and reappearance story with similar tales of Achilles appearing in a transformed body around White Island. Both Achilles and Jesus were translated after their deaths, both had their corpses enlivened and immortalized in another location, both appear in solid form to many witnesses, and both were worshipped by their votaries. A second comparison analyzes Jesus’s tomb tokens with those of Numa, Rome’s second king. The tombs of both Numa and Jesus are sealed, but their bodies disappear. Despite the disappearance, sure signs of their presence are revealed, as in the case of Alcmene (mother of Heracles). This chapter also discusses the trope of alternative reports, used in the stories of both Romulus and the Matthean Jesus.
Elephantine Revisited
Authors: Toorn Karel van der
Published: January 2020

This chapter revisits the scholarship regarding the discovery of the Elephantine Jews. A full century has passed since Eduard Sachau's edition of the Elephantine papyri in 1911. The Elephantine papyri promised direct and unbiased access to a Jewish community as it had been in real life. Furthermore, the sheer number of publications on the papyri between 1905 and 1915 conveyed a sense of the excitement that characterized the early days of Elephantine studies. This chapter shows that Elephantine studies continue to flourish in the twenty-first century. Counting monographs only, the secondary literature is expanding by almost one book a year. An important impetus for the ongoing investigations is the time frame of Elephantine, which is crucial in the formation of ancient Judaism and warrants a reassessment of prevailing scholarship.
How the Electoral College Works
Authors: Edwards George C.
Published: January 2020

This chapter discusses how the electoral college works. It shows that the popular election every fourth November is only the first step in a complex procedure that should culminate in the formal declaration of a winner two months later. In fact, under the Constitution, the November election is not for the presidential candidates themselves but for the electors who subsequently choose a president. All that the Constitution says of this stage of the election process is that “each state shall appoint, in such manner as the legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors, equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which the state may be entitled in Congress.” The chapter thus discusses the roles and functions of the electors and Congress, as well as extreme cases such as when disputed votes occur or when a presidential candidate or president-elect dies.
Contingent Elections
Authors: Edwards George C.
Published: January 2020

This chapter focuses on contingent elections. If the presidential and vice presidential candidates fail to receive a simple majority of electoral college votes, the Twelfth Amendment provides that the House of Representatives chooses the president and the Senate chooses the vice president in a process known as “contingent” election (contingent upon the absence of a majority in the electoral college). There have been two contingent elections for president in U.S. history, following the elections of 1800 and 1824. Very minor shifts of popular votes in the nation, however, would have sent a number of other elections to the Congress for a decision. In the House, where each state must vote as a unit, a majority of 26 or more votes is required to elect a president; in the Senate, a majority of 51 or more votes is required to elect a vice president. Although a superficial reading of these rules suggests the operation of majority rule, the chapter maintains that this process actually represents the most egregious violation of democratic principles in the American political system.
Numerical analysis of a SUSHI scheme for an elliptic-parabolic system modeling miscible fluid flows in porous media
Authors: Soualhi Ouafa , Mandari Mohamed , Rhoudaf Mohamed
Published: January 2020

In this paper, we prove the convergence of a schema using stabilisation and hybrid interfaces of partial differential equations describing miscible displacement in porous media. This system is made of two coupled equations:an anisotropic diffusion equation on the pressure and a convection-diffusion dispersion equation on the concentration of invading fluid. The anisotropicdiffusion operators in both equations require special care while discretizing bya finite volume method SUSHI. Later, we present some numerical experiments.
The Effect of 2D Van der Waals Materials on the Photoresponse of Upconversion Nanoparticles
Authors: Jin Hangshuai , Zhang Zhimin , Liu Lei , Dong Mingdong
Published: January 2020

Upconversion materials, a type of novel functional materials, have manygood physicochemical properties, such as high luminescence stability, highchemical stability, long luminous life, and low potential biotoxicity. How toregulate the luminescence of upconversion materials is a significant chal-lenge. Two-dimensional (2D) Van der Waals materials are a new type ofnanomaterials with a layer structure. Some of them are capable of quenchingthe luminescence of dyes, which could be applied in the modulation of opticalresponse of upconversion materials. Therefore, in this work, we explored thephotoresponse of β-NaYF4:Yb/Er triggered by 2D Van der Waals materialsincluding graphene oxide, MoS2, g-C3N4 and BN. The results obtained inthis work would be beneficial for the further application of luminescencemodulation of UCNPs. Using UCNPs as a potential fingerprint of 2D Vander Waals materials, their optical response might be used to distinguish the2D Van der Waals materials.
Banco de dados para gestão de riscos de movimentos em massa em Coimbra e análise da influência dos principais condicionantes atmosféricos
Authors: Cunha Lúcio José Sobral da , Pellegrina Geórgia Jorge
Published: January 2020

A instabilidade de vertentes está presente sobretudo em regiões montanhosas e serranas com declives elevados, mas o crescimento urbano desordenado em áreas suscetíveis, somado à falta de ordenamento do uso do solo, tem aumentado a ocorrência de desastres relacionados com estes processos também em espaços urbanos. O estudo climático se faz necessário para acompanhamento e prevenção dos movimentos em massa, já que eles são, quase sempre, deflagrados por eventos de precipitação extrema e/ou de longa duração. Um banco de dados é uma ferramenta importante para a contribuição destes estudos e para a gestão de riscos.
Caracterização socioeconômica e percepção ambiental dos pescadores artesanais do município de Canguaretama, Rio Grande do Norte – Brasil.
Authors: Thaís Thaís Bezerril Brandão de Lima Bezerril , Da Silva Márcia Regina Farias , De Carvalho Rodrigo Guimarães , Rocha Fernanda Rízia Fernandes
Published: January 2020

Na atualidade é evidente a condição de degradação e alteração dos bens naturais em que o planeta se encontra e a perda considerável do poder de recuperação inerente aos ecossistemas. Simultâneo a isso, todas os seres vivos sofrem as consequências dessas alterações. Dessa forma, o objetivo principal dessa pesquisa foi verificar o perfil socioeconômico, o papel da colônia de pescadores e a percepção ambiental de marisqueiras e pescadores artesanais do município de Canguaretama, estado do Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil. Foram identificados 420 pescadores ativos cadastrados na colônia. Como procedimento metodológico foi utilizado um roteiro de entrevistas e questionários semiestruturados com 71 pescadores, 47% deles compreendidos na faixa etária de 51 e 61 anos e 76,1% baixo nível de escolaridade. Foi verificado que a renda da maioria era de um a menos de um salário mínimo, os quais 31% possuíam renda, exclusivamente, da pesca. Dos entrevistados, 61% nasceram na própria comunidade, 59,2% tem mais de 29 anos de profissão. Sobretudo, 96% consideram o ecossistema de manguezal como principal meio de sobrevivência, 78% atribuíram a atividade da carcinicultura, o declínio da atividade pesqueira na região e as alterações da paisagem local. Todos os entrevistados se preocupavam com a preservação e conservação do ecossistema local, 32% afirmaram que não desmatam, 24% fiscalizam e denunciam abuso a floresta de manguezal. Conclui-se, portanto, que a pesca artesanal não cumpre mais a função de subsistência do pescador, levando-os a procurarem outras alternativas que possam complementar a renda que obtêm com a atividade.

Cómo los estudiantes universitarios utilizan las tecnologías para aprender: un cuestionario sobre PLE en España
Authors: Prendes Espinosa María Paz , Román García Marimar , González Calatayud Víctor
Published: January 2020

Los Entornos Personales de Aprendizaje –o PLE como se les conoce ampliamente a partir de sus siglas en inglés– han despertado un gran interés entre los investigadores en los últimos cinco años y han sido objeto de estudio específico en el proyecto conocido como CAPPLE. Este trabajo ofrece una visión completa de todo el proyecto, cuyo objetivo principal era realizar un análisis exploratorio de los PLE de los estudiantes universitarios españoles de último curso de Grado. Se utilizó un método cuantitativo de tipo descriptivo, a través de un cuestionario, como método de recogida de información. El tamaño de la muestra fue de 2.054 estudiantes. Nuestros principales resultados muestran que, a pesar de su nivel de competencia digital, cuando los estudiantes aprenden se adhieren a un papel más tradicional. Por ejemplo, prefieren el papel para anotar cosas o para estudiar antes que las posibilidades que les ofrecen ciertas herramientas tecnológicas. Esto nos ha permitido plantear diversas recomendaciones institucionales que abrirán interesantes líneas de investigación para el futuro.
Pensamiento computacional desenchufado
Authors: Zapata-Ros Miguel
Published: January 2020

La idea de pensamiento computacional desenchufado (Computational thinking unplugged) hace referencia a un conjunto de actividades que se elaboran para fomentar en los niños habilidades que pueden ser evocadas después, para favorecer el pensamiento computacional. Estas actividades están pensadas y diseñadas para ser incluidas en las primeras etapas de desarrollo cognitivo (educación infantil, primer tramo de la educación primaria, juegos en casa con los padres y los amigos, etc.). Las habilidades están pensadas para que puedan ser evocadas en otros ciclos y niveles educativos, en la educación secundaria, en la formación técnica, en la profesional o en la educación universitaria incluso. Las actividades se suelen hacer sin ordenadores y sin pantallas móviles, con fichas, cartulinas, juegos de sala de clase o juegos de patio, juguetes mecánicos, etc. En este trabajo se pone de relieve que hay una serie de datos, ideas y circunstancias que hacen posible ahora, y no antes, que se implemente el pensamiento computacional desenchufado. Por último, describimos actividades, iniciativas y experiencias que se están desarrollando ya, y hacemos unas propuestas de actividades y de sus guías para profesores y cuidadores de preescolar.
Productividad científica sobre el Blended Learning en el Perú: aproximaciones a su evolución desde las tesis universitarias
Authors: Turpo-Gebera Osbaldo , Hurtado-Mazeyra Alejandra
Published: January 2020

La significativa presencia de las Tecnologías de la Información y de la Comunicación en los escenarios educativos suscita la necesidad de reconocer los efectos generados, fundamentalmente, con la emergencia del Blended Learning desarrollado en Perú. Se demanda, pues, determinar la evolución de la productividad científica sobre las tesis universitarias que la investigan. Para dicho propósito, la revisión sistemática constituyó el método propicio para identificar, evaluar, interpretar y sintetizar sus aspectos significativos. Las tesis han sido recuperadas de RENATI (Repositorio Nacional de Trabajos de Investigación), producidas en los últimos 12 años. Los resultados muestran que las tesis analizadas revelan ciertas prevalencias: de las tesis de posgrado sobre las de grado, de una creciente evolución en el último quinquenio, de desarrollo semejante en universidades públicas y privadas, de una alta centralidad en la capital, y de una raleada distribución a lo largo del país. También se ha evidenciado la priorización de algunos dominios durante la formación, de lo cognitivo sobre lo procedimental y actitudinal, de un trabajo más individualizado que participativo y de un desarrollo similar de contenidos disciplinares y transversales. El estudio expone, igualmente, los logros concretados a partir de los soportes formativos, tanto de carácter tecnológico como del acompañamiento tutorial, mostrando una inevitable convergencia. En conclusión, los hallazgos revelan las distancias y proximidades del Blended Learning de sus equivalentes internacionales.

La relación entre la soledad, la envidia maliciosa y el ciberacoso en adultos emergentes
Authors: Ozden-Yildirim Melis Seray
Published: January 2020

El propósito principal de este estudio es investigar la relación entre la soledad, la envidia maliciosa y la perpetración del ciberacoso de adultos emergentes. El grupo de investigación se dirigió a 580 adultos emergentes, de entre 18 y 25 años. Los datos se recopilaron con el Formulario de Información Demográfica, el Inventario Revisado de Ciberacoso, la Escala de Soledad Social y Emocional, la Escala de Soledad del Entorno Virtual, la Escala de Envidia Benigna y Maliciosa. Los resultados mostraron que solo hay relaciones significativas entre la soledad familiar, la soledad virtual, la envidia maliciosa y el ciberacoso. Solamente la soledad de la familia y la envidia maliciosa predijeron el ciberacoso de manera significativa. Los resultados indicaron que el nivel de ciberacoso de los hombres es más alto que el nivel de ciberacoso de las mujeres. Además, según el estado civil de sus padres, los resultados mostraron que el nivel de ciberacoso de los adultos emergentes cuyos padres se habían divorciado es mayor que el de los adultos emergentes con familias intactas. No hubo diferencias significativas entre el nivel de ciberacoso de los adultos emergentes con respecto a sus facilidades demográficas como tener un hermano, el nivel de ingresos de su familia, su espacio de vida, su estado de relación y su estado de empleo.
Bosque de signos sombríos: introducción a la Amazonia de Inglês de Sousa
Authors: Rodrigues Ferreira Filho Benjamin
Published: January 2020

Inglés de Sousa no presenta la Amazonia del siglo XIX con una una mirada lírica o deslumbrada; la describe como resultado de un transcurso histórico que, empezando por la violencia de la conquista europea, genera pobreza y degradación, en oposición a la riqueza de quien, movido por el afán económico, alcanza lucro y estatus. Los espacios amazónicos representados en la obra de Inglés de Sousa portan siempre las marcas de la desigualdad social, de la precariedad de las infraestructuras y de la disputa política. El factor político aparece como móvil pernicioso de la situación de decadencia y deterioro de las comunidades de la rivera. Este trabajo invita a reflexionar sobre la degradación de la región como resultado de las acciones y procesos políticos-económicos registrados a lo largo de la historia.

Este trabajo ofrece un análisis sobre la reconfiguración del campo político en Brasil a partir de datos recogidos durante la campaña a la presidencia de la República, realizada en la TV pública. El resultado de los comicios dio la victoria al candidato de derecha, Jair Bolsonaro, del Partido Social Liberal (PSL). Entre 1994 y 2014, el escenario político estaba centrado en el problema del desarrollo socioeconómico, teniendo como principales competidores la respuesta reformista del Partido de los Trabajadores (PT), y la visión neoliberal del Partido de la Social Democracia Brasileña (PSDB). En 2018, esta dinámica se vio alterada en favor de una lógica represiva. El enfoque aquí utilizado se inspira en la interpretación elaborada por Pierre Bourdieu, particularmente en su concepto de campo político. La documentación consta de los programas emitidos por TV en el Horario de Propaganda Electoral Gratuito (HPEG). El objetivo de esta investigación no es comprobar en qué medida la campaña en este medio logró convencer a los electores. Lo que se busca es, desde la perspectiva de comprensión de la opinión pública en Brasil, demarcar el proceso de emisión de discursos y establecer su relación con lo que se entiende es un cambio cualitativo en la dinámica del campo.
Circo: desafíos para la consolidación científica de un arte secular
Authors: Fernandes Miranda Rita de Cassia
Published: January 2020

La presente entrevista con el Prof. Dr. Marco Antonio Coelho Bortoleto, de la Universidad Estatal de Campinas (Unicamp, Brasil), se realizó en abril de 2018. Su objetivo principal fue dialogar sobre el avance del circo como objeto de estudio e investigación, en medio de una intrincada red de relaciones políticas, sociales e históricas que todavía se anteponen a su consolidación científica. Su opinión problematiza el status quo del circo en Brasil revelando que, a pesar de su pujante situación en el terreno artístico nacional e internacional y del reconocimiento por parte de la Unesco de su valor cultural, las instituciones brasileñas, entre las que se incluyen las universidades, todavía se resisten y se muestran poco comprometidas, dificultando su deseado reconocimiento académico.
La representación de Brasil en la prensa alemana, el cambio de imagen en la era de Bolsonaro y el papel de los medios en la ascensión del populismo de derecha en todo el mundo
Authors: Saucedo Añez Patricia Carolina , Cazzamatta Spinola Costa Regina
Published: January 2020

Esta entrevista fue realizada en Alemania, en la Universidad de Erfurt. El entrevistado es el Profesor Dr. Kai Hafez, que ocupa la Cátedra de Comparación de Sistemas de Medios y Culturas Comunicacionales. Entre los principales temas abordados están la representación de Brasil y América Latina en la prensa alemana, la imagen negativa generada por “la era Bolsonaro” y el papel de las, así llamadas, Fake News como estrategia de comunicación por parte de la extrema derecha. Otra discusión relevante traída a colación por el entrevistado es la responsabilidad de los medios tradicionales ante la creciente ola del populismo de derecha. La visión crítica que el Prof. Dr. Hafez ofrece sobre el papel de los medios en exagerar la atención brindada a los movimientos de extrema derecha puede aplicarse al contexto brasileño, en el que candidatos y grupos polémicos como el Movimiento Brasil Libre (MBL) reciben cada vez más atención. El entrevistado discute la lógica de la política del entretenimiento y hace hincapié en la necesidad de la autorreflexión por parte de los medios de comunicación para que éstos no impulsen y den excesiva visibilidad a los extremistas de derecha.
Los debates sobre identidad y derecho cultural en la ampliación de las acciones para el patrimonio cultural en Brasil
Authors: De Araujo Aguiar Mariana , Da Silva Vidal Cid Gabriel
Published: January 2020

Tenemos por objetivo analizar el proceso de construcción del campo del patrimonio inmaterial a través de la relación entre las políticas culturales brasileñas y los marcos legales internacionales que refuerzan un camino de valorización de la identidad como herramienta de articulación de derechos. A partir de un recorrido histórico, observamos cómo la política de patrimonio inmaterial ha permitido la ampliación de la participación de diferentes agentes y, consecuentemente, la ampliación, también, de los derechos culturales. Sin embargo, percibimos que, en el marco de la política de patrimonio material, ese aspecto no se observa en la misma medida, reflejando límites a los avances de las acciones públicas de patrimonialización, que se ven impregnadas por limitaciones a la efectividad de la ciudadanía cultural.
Open Access publication workflow for academic books
Authors: Schrader Antonia , Grossmann Alexander , Reiche Michael , Böhm David
Published: January 2020

A draft (final version) of an media-neutral as well as both cost-effective and personnel-efficient publications workflow for Open Access (OA) monograph publishing at university presses is presented. The workflow has been developed as a result of the research project
Open-Access-Hochschulverlagat the Leipzig University of Applied Sciences, Germany. The aim of the project is to develop a sustainable and adoptable workflow to enable universities to publish their publications as OA and printed books simultaneously in a state-of-the-art way and without any restrictions regarding the license, the variety of formats, print run etc.

Up to now, we have defined 17 process groupswith up to 9processes,which a university press has to consider when publishing OA books state-of-the-art. These processes have been shown on the poster (it is the final version of the project, two preliminary versionswerealready published in April and June 2019).

The arrangement and the arrows between the processes indicate in which order the processes should be ideally organised by the university presses. Since any university may adapt that workflow individually, it includes several possible ways by which an OA book can be published (see process group
Kaor
Qe at the poster). The visualisation of the publication workflow represents only a part of the results of our research project. In addition detailed descriptions for each process have been created, which explain a certain process in depth, e.g. who is responsible for it, what time it takes and what it may cost to complete the process. These detailed descriptions will be published elsewhere.
From Smoking to Vaping: What does Judaism have to Say?
Authors: Turner Akiva
Published: January 2020

The author reviews rabbinic decisions about smoking from a historical perspective along with the positions of the medical community. The author then brings the current, though limited, rabbinic considerations about vaping given the current state of science, as well as possible discussions for the future, as more becomes known about the safety and health risks associated with vaping.
In the Shadows
Authors: Ryan Tom
Published: January 2020

This chapter is a discussion of the Sirk films in which the influence of noir is discernible, less in the plotting than in the way the films have been shot, not only in terms of their use of light and dark but in the visual relationships they establish between individuals or groups and their surroundings.
Sirk and God
Authors: Ryan Tom
Published: January 2020

This chapter discusses how Sirk’s films in which religion plays an important part aren’t concerned with whether or not there is a God. Instead their focus is firmly fixed on those who believe in some higher power or who don’t. And what matters is their humanity, or lack of it, and the existential crises they might face, whatever their beliefs.
Pastoral Yearnings
Authors: Ryan Tom
Published: January 2020

Sirk’s musicals exude an infectious sense of fun that isn’t customarily associated with his work in the US. Part of that fun is the playful knowingness that Sirk brings to them, consistent with the ironic distance that underpins the melodramas but also of a different order. It’s as if he’s taken on these musicals with a bemused smile rather than a troubled frown, allowing their characters room to move amidst the constraints that shape their lives.
Sirk and John M. Stahl
Authors: Ryan Tom
Published: January 2020

Sirk remade three films that were originally directed by John M. Stahl in the 1930s, his versions based on fictions by well-known novelists. This chapter focuses on how the various intersections and divergences between the three versions of “the same story” amount to an implicit dialogue, even a three-way debate, between a novelist and two filmmakers (and their other collaborators) about how best to tell that story.
Neil Gaiman and the Multifarious Approach to the Superhero
Authors: Harris-Fain Darren
Published: January 2020

In this chapter, Darren Harris-Fain offers a structuralist examination of the comics career of Neil Gaiman. Overseeing a longitudinal analysis of his work in the medium, Harris-Fain separates Gaiman's work into five distinct criteria: 1) the straightforward/direct; 2) the oblique/indirect; 3) the revisionist; 4) the comic; and 5) the mythic. While not mutually exclusive, they do, for the first time, offer clear connections between his works for all companies while distinguishing his career as it developed over the years.
Liminality and the Gothic Sublime of the Sandman
Authors: McCrystal Erica
Published: January 2020

This chapter explores how liminality and subliminality interweave in Gaiman's seminal work, The Sandman, infusing the text with fantastic opportunity and subversive potential. The series presents an overlap between the dreaming and waking worlds, dissipating clear distinctions between reality and fantasy. However, when there is an overlap between the dreaming and the waking worlds, the border is dissolved and humans too become liminal figures who navigate both worlds. The infinite possibilities that emerge when concrete and fantastic worlds collide make the series evocative of the sublime. Gaiman and his illustrators use liminality and the sublime throughout the series
Coda
Authors: Sanders Joe Sutlif
Published: January 2020

This chapter concludes the volume proper with a personal anecdote from notedcomics scholar Joe Sutliff Sanders. Sutliff Sanders examines the contents of the book against a personal experience he had with the book American Gods and his own work with Gaiman over time. He concludes by examining the contents of the book commenting on the importance of reading and rereading Gaiman with an eye towards further liminal interpretations echoing the introduction.
