41SM195A, The Browning Site
Authors: Walters Mark
Published: March 2019

A surface collection of early 19th century historic sherds led to archeological investigations in 2002 and 2003 at the Browning site (41SM195A) in Smith County, Texas. My interest was whetted by mention in the original land abstract that the property had once been deeded to the Cherokee. In all, a total of 6.5 cubic meters was excavated, including twenty-two shovel tests and 10 1 x 1 m test units, and a fine-screen sample was taken from the midden. As a result, 1076 prehistoric and historic artifacts were recovered, along with new information about the Woodland period archeology in this part of East Texas.

The initial shovel tests found, in addition to the historic component, a buried midden with evidence of Woodland period occupation. Based on the excavations, the midden covered approximately 500 m2. The 19th century historic artifacts were found in the upper sediment zone (a light brown sandy loam that was mostly gravel-free) covering the midden. The buried midden was a dark yellowish-brown gravelly loam that contained prehistoric pottery, bone, charred wood and nutshells, lithic materials, including lithic debris, flake tools, arrow and dart points, and ground stone tools. A calibrated radiocarbon date of AD 625 to 880 (2 sigma), with a calibrated intercept of AD 685, was obtained on charred nutshell from 40-50 cm bs in the midden zone. A series of Oxidizable Carbon Ratio dates from the midden indicate that the midden began to form about AD 147, with dates of AD 359-817 from the main part of the midden, indicating when the Browning site was most intensively occupied in prehistoric times.
Casanas, Hidalgo, and Espinosa: A Spanish Leaming Curve
Authors: Wade Mariah F.
Published: March 2019

In 1690, Alonso de Leon arrived in East Texas to establish two missions among the Asinai. He was accompanied by Fr. Fontcuberta, Fr. Casanas, Fr. Bordoy, Fr. Massanet, and Brother Antonio. Fr. Massanet returned to Mexico to inform the Viceroy about the trip, and came back to East Texas with Teran de Los Rios in August 1691. Fr. Fontcuberta died in February 1691 of an epidemic that, according to Fr. Casanas, killed about 3,000 natives in the area. Fr. Casanas who died in New Mexico in 1696, left us the first intimate view of the Caddoan-speaking groups in East Texas. Casanas Relacion was written in spurts and delivered to Teran de los Rios in August 1691. The Teran expedition brought to the Asinai Fr. Hidalgo who stayed about two years. In 1716, Fr. Hidalgo returned to Texas with Fr. Espinosa. While in the Asinai Province, the social conditions, the environment for learning and the interests of the three friars were quite different. We have found little archival material from Hidalgo, and Espinosa s style and education provide a disengaged narrative that loses flavor and re-uses some of the material provided by the other friars.

The arrival of the Spaniards did not match native expectations. The Asinai wanted a Spanish community composed of families that would live side-by-side with them and would provide a measure of protection and prestige, as well as trade opportunities. Instead they got seven single males: four friars and three soldiers. Casanas grappled with a new language and its dialects, unfamiliar social and religious practices, a major epidemic in 1691 that deeply affected the relationship between Europeans and Natives, and very poor harvests in 1691 and 1692. His Relacion, which serves as a colonial baseline, was created while learning, attempting to proselytize and surviving. Casanas Relacion is constructed from several kinds of knowledge: what he saw, experienced, and was told.

Casanas did not travel beyond the Asinai Province, nor could he: most of the time there were only two other friars and three soldiers, and between February and August 1691 Casanas was left with one companion and two soldiers. At first, Casanas was at Mission San Francisco de los Tejas because he only established Mission Santisimo Nombre de Maria (hereafter shown as S.N. de Maria) in October 1690. From 1690 through 1691 he probably remained at S. N. de Maria where he was met by Teran on August 4. 1691. Unlike Hidalgo and Espinosa, most of the information related by Casanas concerns the political and religious structure and the practices of the people in the Asinai Province. In this article I will concentrate on two issues: first, what can we learn about the location of the nations belonging to the Asinai Province using the archival materials from these friars, and second what cosmological and religious changes occurred between the period of Casanas and Hidalgo, and the period of Hidalgo and Espinosa. I should add that all the evidence to be presented, except for obvious exceptions. is based completely on the archival materials mentioned.
A Rediscovery of Caddo Heritage: The W. T. Scott Collection at the American Museum of Natural History
Authors: Cast Robert , Perttula Timothy K. , Gonzalez Bobby , Nelson Bo
Published: March 2019

Back in August 1997, the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma had submitted a Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) claim for a cranium that had been obtained by the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York City in 1877. Very little information was known about these remains, other than it had been obtained "as a purchase/gift" to the museum by Charles C, Jones Jr. and was "found in a mound" somewhere near the "Shreveport vicinity" in Caddo or Bossier Parish, Louisiana. "Based on the presence of artificial cranial deformation," the museum dated these human remains to a period of between A.D. 800 and the contact period. Because of the cranial deformation, and the archeological investigations that had taken place in the past in Louisiana, the museum had determined that the remains were culturally affiliated to the Caddo Nation.

Through consultation with the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma and the Cultural Resources Office staff at the AMNH, in February 200 l the Notice of Inventory Completion was published for these human remains in the Federal Register.

A panel, consisting of Thompson Williams, Vynola Newkumet, Phil Newkumet, and Pete Gregory, was also part of that conference.
Book Review: Our Unprotected Heritage: Whitewashing the Destruction of our Cultural and Natural Environment
Authors: Walters Mark
Published: March 2019

Before becoming involved in archeology, I was a commercial nurseryman for thirty years in East Texas. Finally though, I had my fill of fighting weather, unstable markets, pests and yes, government agencies. After retirement I sought what I thought would be tranquility in the field of archeology. Archeology was a topic that I had been interested in since I was a teenager and I thought it would provide the peace-of-mind I was seeking. Wrong again.
In Between Two Worlds: Past Perspectives on the Neosho Phase (A.D. 1400-1650)
Authors: Ford Paige
Published: March 2019

The Neosho phase (A.D. 1400-1650) in northeastern Oklahoma, northwestern Arkansas, southwestern Missouri, and southeastern Kansas represents Late Pre-contact peoples engaged in widespread trade from the Plains to groups in the southeastern United States. The phase has confounded researchers since its de.ftnition, although debates mainly concern one of two main questions concerning the identity of Neosho peoples: origins and cultural af.ftliation. Most research to date has focused simply on the question of emergence. Early in these debates, Orr (1946) suggested that Neosho peoples represented one or more plains-oriented groups that had migrated into the area, while Wyckoff (1980) and others later argued that Neosho represented a dissolution of the Arkansas River Valley Caddo- Mississippian system. Numerous issues have inhibited progress in defending either of these models, including a dependence upon research methods that rely upon descriptive cultural trait lists, a reluctance to contextualize and emplace Neosho peoples within the region at large, and even the initial de.ftnition of the phase and culture area. This article represents the beginning stages of my dissertation research and will focus on discussion of the Neosho phase, including previous research, issues and debates, and ways to resolve and reinvigorate research in this area and time period.
Current Research: Organic Residues on Engraved Vessels from Ancestral Caddo Sites in East Texas
Authors: Perttula Timothy
Published: March 2019

In the course of recently documenting ancestral Caddo ceramic vessels from sites dating to Late Caddo period Titus phase contexts (ca. A.D. 1430-1680) in East Texas, specifically on sites in the Big Cypress Creek and Sabine River basins, I have encountered a significant number (ca. 9.6 percent) of more than 1790 engraved fine ware vessels that have an exterior organic residue (Table 1), including carinated bowls, compound bowls, jars, bowls, and even bottles. In some cases, the exterior residue on certain carinated bowls and compound bowls is so thick that the engraved design is obscured and almost completely covered with the organic residue (Figure 1a- c). If engraved fine wares from ancestral Caddo sites were used in daily life for the serving of foods and liquids, how did they accumulate an exterior carbonized residue by the time they were placed in burials as funerary offerings?
Current Research: Renewing Research on Holman Springs (3SV29), A Caddo Saltworks in Western Arkansas
Authors: Drexler Carl , Taylor Fiona
Published: March 2019

The Holman Springs site (3SV29) lies in western Sevier County, Arkansas, near the Oklahoma border. It is, along with Bayou Sel (3CL27), one of two major excavations of Caddo saltworks that has not been substantially reported. Excavated between 1984 and 1986 by the Arkansas Archeological Society during their annual Training Program digs, the collections remain at the Arkansas Archeological Survey's research station (ARAS) at Southern Arkansas University (SAU) in Magnolia.

The collections lay dormant for many years. Then, in 2015, the station staff revived the project and started moving it towards completion. This is a daunting challenge, given the massive size of the collection (estimates for the ceramics alone run to 4,000 pounds of sherds). We detail some of the efforts that have been taking place.

The purpose of the study was to analyze the antitumor activity of magnetic bimetallic Ag-Fe nanoparticles having the structure of Yanus particles produced by the electrical explosion of wires. material and methods. For the synthesis of bimetallic Ag-Fe nanoparticles, a simultaneous electric explosion of silver and iron wires in an argon atmosphere was used. The morphology and size of the nanoparticles and their agglomerates were determined by transmission electron microscopy. To determine the average size of nanoparticles, particle size distribution histograms approximated by log-normal distribution were plotted. The phase composition was determined using x-ray method. The cytotoxic effect of the nanoparticles was evaluated by MTT assay using mouse neuro-2a (N2a) neuroblastoma cell lines and J774 histiocytic sarcoma cell lines. results. In case of simultaneous electric explosion of silver and iron wires in an argon atmosphere, the spherical 72 nm particles were obtained. Silver and iron were shown to be unevenly distributed in particles. There were areas enriched with one of the components with clear boundaries of phase separation or Janus nanoparticles. On the diffractogram of the sample, the main reflections correspond to the phases of metallic Ag and Fe. Aqueous suspensions of monometallic Ag and Fe nanoparticles reduced cell viability to a lesser extent than bimetallic nanoparticles. Ag-Fe nanoparticles showed the highest dose-dependent antitumor activity. The higher corrosion rate of bimetallic Ag-Fe particles compared to monometallic nanoparticles was due to the larger contact area between metallic phases in Janus nanoparticles, which determined a larger number of corrosion centers in bimetallic nanoparticles. conclusion. As a result of an electric explosion of wires from immiscible metals of iron and silver, bimetallic Ag-Fe nanoparticles with Janus particle structure were obtained. Ag-Fe nanoparticles exhibite higher antitumor activity than the individual metals from which they are composed and are a promising material for the fight against cancer cells.

The proliferation of unproductive forms of human capital, deepening of the processes of its digitization, which is currently taking place in the sphere of education, health care and social and labor sphere, is a rather threatening trend for the national economy. In this regard, the purpose of the article is to study the influence of the main factors of the process of the formation of labor potential, the development, use and preservation of human capital in the field of education, health care and social and labor sphere, as well as substantiation of the ways of reducing the negative influence of the factors of digitization. The existing asymmetries in socio-economic development are described, the deepening of which contributes to the spread of unproductive forms of human capital are described by the author. In the educational sphere, it is primarily the reduction of the quality of educational services and corruption; low wages; low level of academic integrity, etc. In the health sector, the processes of filing are primarily due to the poor state of the material base of the national state health care institutions; low wages in state health care institutions; low availability of quality medical services for the general population; insufficient distribution of a culture of health support throughout life, etc. In the social and labor sphere of human capitalization, the following factors contribute to the following: low wages in the whole economy; low social stability, low social guarantees; orientation of entrepreneurs for «fast results», short-term planning; discrimination of certain categories of people in the labor market; low level of social responsibility of the state, etc.
Legitimasi Berlapis dan Negosiasi Dinamis pada Pembayaran Perkawinan Perspektif Pluralisme Hukum
Authors: Wardatun Atun
Published: March 2019

This article is based on an ethnographic study that uses participatory observation of eight marriage payment negotiations in the city of Mataram, West Nusatenggara. It argues that the marriage payment in the Muslim tradition of Sasak in the city of Mataram is based on strong legal pluralism or a variety of equally strong laws in which no single legal system dominates and is subordinated to each other. Furthermore, this research sheds light on extending meaning of legal pluralism in which it may include dialogue between the same legal system eg between different customary laws. This strong model of legal pluralism is seen in two ways. First, the layered legitimacy of Sasak marriage by using many models of marriage payments, namely religious payment in the form of mahr for marriage validity, local payment in the form of pisuke and ajikrama for social appropriateness, and state payment in the form of administrative costs for formal legality. Second, the dynamic negotiation between customary law holders concerning the marriage payment when inter-ethnicity marriage occurs (exogamy), where different traditions can absorb each other. The argument at the same time debates the view that has placed the three legal systems: Islam, adat (customs), and the state as opposed and subordinate to each other.
High performance adsorption of hazardous triphenylmethane dye-crystal violet onto calcinated waste mussel shells

Published: March 2019

Synthetic dyes are harmful to human beings, and the removal of colour from process or waste effluents is environmentally important. Crystal violet (CV) is a typical triphenylmethane dye, which is widely used in textile dyeing and paper printing industries. The present study shows that granulated and calcinated waste mussell shells (CWMS) can be used as a potential low-cost and locally available adsorbent for the removal of CV from aqueous solutions. The adsorption capacities of the CWMS for CV were investigated with respect to the effect of pH value, adsorbent dosage, contact time, initial dye concentration and temperature. Process variables were optimized, and a maximum dye adsorption of 482.0 mg/g was achieved at pH 6, 0.2 g/L adsorbent dosage, 220 min contact time and 25 °C for dye initial concentration of 100 mg/L. Adsorption kinetics and isotherms were followed by the pseudo-second order model and Freundlich isotherm models, respectively. Thermodynamic parameters demonstrated that adsorption of CV was spontaneous and endothermic in nature. The results indicated that the CWMS as a new adsorbent had the potential to serve in wastewater treatment applications, especially in the removal of CV from aqueous solutions.

Authors: Paramita Deryne Anggia , Nasution Khairina , Lubis Nova Zairina
Published: March 2019

Background: A pressure ulcer (PU) is localized injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence, as a result of pressure, or pressure in combination with sharp surface. Several studies have found that PU is also a common problem in the pediatric population. Infection at PU sites is the most common complication, where PU can host resistant microorganisms and can turn into a local infection that is a source of bacteremia in hospital patients. This study aims to determine the most common bacteria and antimicrobial susceptibility at the site of PU in pediatric patients that serve as baseline data in Haji Adam Malik Hospital.Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in July-December 2017, involving 30 PU pediatric patients. For each subject, swab from ulcers were cultured in microbial laboratory to determine the microbial pattern and antimicrobial susceptibility.Results: The most common age group was 0-3 (53.3%), the highest gender was male (60%), the most common type was type 2 (46.7%), the main location was occipital (30%) and the most common undelying diseases were hydrocephalus (16.6%). The most common microbial pattern in PU pediatric patients is Acinetobacter baumannii (40%). The highest sensitivity is vancomycine for gram positive bacteria and amikacine for gram negative bacteria.Conclusion: The most common microbial pattern in PU pediatric patients in Haji Adam Malik Hospital is Acinetobacter baumannii (40%). The highest sensitivity is vancomycine for gram positive bacteria and amikacine for gram negative bacteria.Keywords: pressure ulcer, pediatric, microbial pattern, antimicrobial susceptibility

Published: March 2019

Background: Several emerging problems of regular hemodialysis (HD) including cardiovascular complication or atherosclerosis formation caused by chronic inflammation. High sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and intima-media thickness (IMT) of the carotid artery can be applied as atherosclerosis progressivity marker. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between some inflammatory factors, including hs-CRP, interleukin (IL)-6, oxidized-low-density lipoproteins (LDL), with  IMT  among end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. This was the first study in Indonesian population. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on ESRD patients who performed regular HD at Hemodialysis Unit of Dr. Kariadi Hospital and Telogorejo Hospital Semarang between October 2009 and April 2010. This was a preliminary report for the cohort study.Results: Seventy-eight HD subjects were enrolled in this study, with mean age of 49.8 years old. Mean HD duration was 25.5±32.16 months. The mean carotid artery wall thickness was 0.64±0.149 mm. IL-6, hs-CRP, and ox-LDL level were higher in IMT group ≥0.5 mm than IMT group <0.5 mm. There was a significant correlation between hs-CRP (prevalence ratio (PR)=1.3; 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.02-1.7; p-value=0.01) as well as IL-6 (PR=1.5; 95% CI=1.1 -2.0; p-value<0.001) and IMT wall thickness. The oxidized-LDL level was not a significant factor to be associated with IMT. The cut-off value for hs-CRP and IL-6 to predict IMT progressivity was 2.8 mg/L and 2.88 mg/L, respectively.Conclusion: There was a significant correlation between IL-6 and hs-CRP levels and IMT. There was not significant correlation between oxidized LDL and IMT.Keywords: hemodialysis, atherosclerosis, IMT, IL-6, hs-CRP, Oxidized-LDL
Gossypetin Inhibits Solar-UV Induced Cutaneous Basal Cell Carcinoma Through Direct Inhibiting PBK/TOPK Protein Kinase
Authors: Wang Lijuan , Zhang Zixi , Ge Rui , Zhang Jian , Liu Wenli , Mou Kuanhou , Lv Shemin , Mu Xin
Published: March 2019

Background:

Skin photoaging, skin inflammation and skin cancer are related with excessive exposure to solar UV. PDZ-binding kinase/T-LAK cell-originated protein kinase (PBK/TOPK), a member of the serine/threonine protein kinase, which regulates the signaling cascades of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) and extracellular signal regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2). PBK/TOPK plays a significant role in solar-UV-induced cutaneous basal cell carcinoma (BCC), and targeting PBK/TOPK can be supposed to treat and prevent cutaneous BCC.

Methods:

The pathological feature and the expression level of PBK/TOPK in cutaneous BCC tissues of human were studied in clinical samples. SUV-induced the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and ERK1/2 were demonstrated ex vivo. Moreover, the interaction between Gossypetin and PBK/TOPK were detected by in vitro kinase assay and Microscale thermophoresis (MST) assay. Furthermore, the effect of Gossypetin to solar UV-induced the activity of PBK/TOPK were detected ex vivo and in vivo.

Results:

The clinical samples showed that the expression levels of PBK/TOPK, phosphor-p38 MAPK and phosphor- ERK1/2 were up-regulated in cutaneous BCC tissues of human. The expression of phosphor-p38 MAPK or phosphor-ERK1/2 increased in a dose and time dependent manner after solar UV treatment in HaCaT cells. MTT cytotoxicity assay results showed that Gossypetin has no effect on HaCaT cells. In vitro kinase assay and MST assay results showed that Gossypetin bound with PBK/TOPK and suppressed PBK/TOPK activity. Ex vivo results showed Gossypetin inhibited solar UV-induced phosphorylation of PBK/TOPK, p38 MAPK, ERK1/2 and H2AX by suppressing PBK/TOPK activity. In vivo test results indicated that Gossypetin suppressed solar UV-induced increase of PBK/TOPK, phosphor-p38 MAPK, phosphor-ERK1/2 and phosphor- H2AX in SKH-1 hairless mice.

Conclusion:

Our data demonstrated that Gossypetin can alleviate solar-UV-induced cutaneous BCC by blocking PBK/TOPK, and Gossypetin could be a remarkable agent for treating solar-UV induced cutaneous basal cell carcinoma.

Authors: López-Valverde Nansi , López-Valverde Antonio , Ramírez Juan M , Gómez de Diego Rafael
Published: March 2019

Introduction:

Erythromelalgia or erythermalgia, is a peripheral paroxysmal vascular disease of the distal extremities, although it can also affect the face, ears and knees. It is characterized by increased skin temperature, erythema and intermittent episodes of burning pain. Likewise, it can also be characterized by lesions of the oral mucosa.

Case report:

Here we present the case of a 6-year old female with EM presenting ulcerative and scaly lesions in the oral cavity and whitish linear branching ulcerative lesions on the tongue. Fabry disease and rheumatoid conditions were ruled out and there were no mutations in SCN9A gene. Treatment with voltage-gated sodium channel blockers (oxcarbacepine-Trileptal®) and anticonvulsants (Perampanel-Fycompa®) did not improve pain symptoms, however, performing moderate physical activity, use of comfortable footwear, and local application of cold resulted in the restoration of patient´s quality of life

Conclusion:

To our knowledge, this report described for the first time, the successful treatment of ulcerative lesions of the oral mucosa in Erythromelalgia. We believe that the treatments described here (exercise, comfortable footwear and local application of cold) could improve the quality of life of Erythromelalgia patients.

Strengthening competitiveness is an important factor in facing the growth of international trade in commodity markets, especially for maize as feed commodities.This research aims to: (1) analyze the level of profit and competitiveness of maize farming, (2) investigate farming components affecting competitiveness, and (3) analyze sensitivity level of profit and competitiveness towards the changes. Data were processed using PAM (Policy Analysis Matrix) and sensitivity analysis. The research was conducted on March- May 2018 in Pacitan with 102 maize farmers as sample respondents, collected proportionally. Sensitivity analysis observed four changes, i.e; increase of purchase price, the structure of labor, optimization of maize productivity, and weakening of rupiah exchange rate. Research findings indicated that (1) maize farming in Pacitan does not generate either financial or economic profits, as well as competitiveness, as shown by PCR and DRCR accounting for 1,033 and 1,024 respectively; (2) the component influencing competitive advantages is purchase price and component influencing comparative advantages is rupiah exchange rate; components simultaneously influencing both advantages are structure of labor and maize productivity; (3) the sensitivity analysis proves that the changes of profit are elastic towards the changes of four components indicated by elasticity indicator with a value of more than one. The changes of competitiveness are elastic only for purchase price, but for other components they are inelastic.
Literature Survey of Interleaved DC-DC Step-Down Converters for Proton Exchange Membrane Electrolyzer Applications
Authors: Guida Vittorio , Guilbert Damien , Douine Bruno
Published: March 2019

Recently, the use of electrolyzers for hydrogen production through water electrolysis is of great interest in the industrial field to replace current hydrogen production pathways based on fossil fuels (e.g. oil, coal). The electrolyzers must be supplied with a very low DC voltage in order to produce hydrogen from the deionized water. For this reason, DC-DC step-down converters are generally used. However, these topologies present several drawbacks from output current ripple and voltage gain point of view. In order to meet these expectations, interleaved DC-DC step-down converters are considered as promising and interesting candidates to supply proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers. Indeed, these converters offer some advantages including output current ripple reduction and reliability in case of power switch failures. In addition, over the last decade, many improvements have been brought to these topologies with the aim to enhance their conversion gain. Hence, the main goal of this paper is to carry out a thorough state-of-the-art of different interleaved step-down DC-DC topologies featuring a high voltage gain, needed for PEM electrolyzer applications.

Published: March 2019

En el presente artículo se reflexiona en torno al derecho del trabajo toando como punto de partida la función protectora de la relación  que tiene el mismo en cuanto al trabajo, máxime si se consideran las fuerzas de producción. El análisis revisa la subordinación desde los fenómenos actuales: el mercado laboral como la gigeconomy y los empleos atípicos.Asimismo se estudia la tendencia a la desregulación como un factor importante, sosteniendo que los fenómenos que se examinan no degradan el valor de la subordinación como criterio de determinación de la relación de trabajo.
La evolución del factor social en el Derecho agrario
Authors: Guerra Daneri Enrique
Published: March 2019

Es inocultable que en la base de la agricultura hay un problema de naturaleza social que constituye uno de los factores de calificación del derecho agrario. Ello permite incluirlo entre las llamadas ramas sociales del derecho, que son disciplinas orientadas a operar con correctivos en situaciones condicionadas. Pero los factores que inciden en la agricultura son variados y al igual que el hecho social, han ido evolucionando en sus efectos sobre la materia agraria.
La libertad sindical colectiva en el Derecho español
Authors: García Viña Jordi
Published: March 2019

El contenido colectivo de la libertad sindical se contempla en España en la Constitución de 1978 de forma limitada, ya que el art. 28.1 de esta norma hace referencia únicamente al derecho de federación nacional e internacional: “(…)el derecho de los sindicatos a formar confederaciones y a fundar organizaciones sindicales internacionales o afiliarse a las mismas.”Es, por tanto, la Ley Orgánica de Libertad Sindical y el Tribunal Constitucional en sus diversos pronunciamientos los que han completado los derechos que corresponden a las organizaciones sindicales en el ejercicio de la libertad sindical
La Promoción del Empleo de las personas con discapacidad en España
Authors: García Sabater Antonio B.
Published: March 2019

En España existen diferentes tipos de empleos y distintos tipos de apoyos para acceder al trabajo. En general la estructura laboral para promover la incorporación al empleo de las personas con discapacidad es buena, contando con oportunidades intermedias entre el empleo ordinario y los servicios sociales. La desconexión entre las necesidades de apoyo y los beneficiarios de algunas medidas, está perjudicando el derecho al trabajo de las personas con discapacidad con especiales dificultades de acceso al empleo.
Narrativa laboral y principios del derecho del trabajo chileno
Authors: Gamonal C. Sergio
Published: March 2019

Este artículo se ocupa de la narrativa laboral y de los relatos que contextualizan la aplicación del derecho. Cada área del derecho tiene un relato fundacional, que es algunas veces implícito y que suele operar sin que nos demos cuenta. Este relato hegemónico va cambiando con el tiempo y en casos excepcionales puede ser desafiado por un relato radicalmente distinto. En este artículo analizaremos el relato laboral basado en la narrativa de los principios del derecho del trabajo, estudiando dos casos jurisprudenciales chilenos de los últimos quince años, en donde la Corte Suprema ha evolucionado desde una narrativa privatista a una laboral.
Combate a la corrupción y sociedad
Authors: Ackerman John M.
Published: March 2019

En 2016, se hizo un intento por reconfigurar el sistema de vigilancia y control del gasto público. Se aprobó una nueva Ley General del Sistema Nacional Anticorrupción (LGSNA), con el objetivo de articular las diferentes partes del enorme rompecabezas que existe en la materia, también se aprobó una nueva Ley General de Responsabilidades Administrativas y una nueva Ley Orgánica del Tribunal Federal de Justicia Administrativa. Adicionalmente, la reforma al artículo 102 constitucional transformó la Procuraduría General de la República en una Fiscalía General de la República con plena autonomía legal del Ejecutivo Federal. El ensayo actual inicia con una reflexión crítica sobre algunas de las reformas recientes y después propone algunas acciones que nos permitirían construir un Sistema Nacional de Transparencia, Fiscalización y Rendición de Cuentas que realmente sirva.

El sentido de la audición es un proceso complejo y los casos en los que existe una pérdida auditiva surgen consecuencias directas en la adquisición de la lengua oral. A raíz de la labor que se realiza en la Unidad de Atención a las Personas con Discapacidad y NEE de la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, y con el fin de atender la preocupación que los alumnos con sordera e hipoacusia muestran por su falta de preparación y conocimientos para afrontar la asignatura de Idioma Moderno, surgió la necesidad de realizar una investigación sobre el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de un segundo idioma oral. Para ello, se ha realizado un estudio observacional con una muestra de 36 alumnos de las etapas educativas de Infantil y Primaria pertenecientes a un centro de educación Compartida de enfoque bilingüe de la Comunidad de Madrid. Los resultados muestran la importancia de la aplicación de las adaptaciones de acceso centradas en el entorno físico, comunicación e información.

Location and optimal sizing of photovoltaic sources in an isolated mini-grid
Authors: Jiménez Juliana , Cardona John E. , Carvajal Sandra X.
Published: March 2019

This article introduces a new mixed integer linear programming model that guarantees the optimal solution to the location and sizing problem of distributed photovoltaic generators in an isolated mini-grid. The solar radiation curves of each node in the mini-grids were considered, and the main objective was to minimize electric power losses in the operation of the system. The model is non-linear in nature because some restrictions are not linear. However, this article proposes the use of linearization techniques to obtain a linear model with a global optimal solution, which can be achieved through commercial solvers; CPLEX in this case. The proposed model was tested in an isolated 14-bus mini-grid, based on real data of topology, demand and generation adapted to a balanced operation. This model shows, as a result, the optimal location of photovoltaic generators and their optimal capacity produced by the maximum active power delivered at the maximum solar irradiation time of the region. It is also evident that the hybrid operation between small hydroelectric power plants and photovoltaic generation improves the network voltage profile and the electric power losses without the use power storage systems.

This work is focused on preparation of poly(urethane-siloxane)/titanium-dioxide nanocompo-sites (PUSNs) with enhanced features. PUSNs were prepared by the in situ polymerization re-action using titanium-dioxide as a nano-filler in different amounts (1, 2, 3 and 5 wt.%) with respect to the poly(urethane-siloxane) (PUS) matrix. PUS copolymer was based on ?,?-dihy-droxy-ethoxypropyl-poly(dimethylsiloxane), 4,4?-methylenediphenyldiisocyanate and 1,4-bu-tanediole. In order to investigate the influence of TiO2 content on the structure, UV resistance, thermal properties, hydrophobicity and morphology of the prepared PUSNs, FTIR spectro-scopy, UV-Vis diffuse-reflectance spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), contact angle measurements, surface free energy (SFE) analysis, water absorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were performed. The PUSNs showed excellent UV resistance, high hydrophobicity, low surface free energy and also higher thermal stability and rougher surface and cross-section relief structure as compared to the pure PUS copolymer. Based on the obtained results it can be concluded that prepared PUSNs could be potentially used as protective coatings.
