Direktorat Pengembangan Teknologi dan Sistem Informasi (DPTSI) merupakan direktorat yang bertugas menyediakan dan mengelola layanan SI/TI di ITS. Dalam mengelola layanan diperlukan tata kelola untuk memastikan layanan dapat diberikan dengan baik. Tata Kelola Organisasi diterapkan untuk meningkatkan kinerja, keunggulan kompetitif, dan pencapaian tujuan bisnis. Sehingga bila tata kelola jelas, hal tersebut akan mempermudah kinerja DPTSI dalam memberikan layanan. Saat ini, DPTSI masih memiliki berbagai permasalahan terkait prosedur layanan SI/TInya. Maka dari itu diperlukan sebuah pengembangan SOP dan pada penelitian ini akan dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode analisis kesenjangan (Gap Analysis), dengan hasil akhir berupa prosedur. Pengembangan SOP yang dilakukan berupa penyempurnaan SOP yang sudah ada namun tidak bisa secara maksimal digunakan karena isi kurang jelas. Dalam pembuatan SOP akan dilakukan pengamatan terhadap kondisi dari sisi organisasi (management perception) dengan kondisi yang diharapkan dari sisi pengguna (customer expectation) terhadap SOP untuk keseluruhan layanan SI/TI yang dimiliki oleh DPTSI. Metode Analisis Kesenjangan dipilih dengan mempertimbangkan kebutuhan pengguna bertujuan untuk dapat memberikan kepuasan kepada customer. Hasil pengamatan terhadap kedua kondisi tersebut, selanjutnya akan dilakukan analisis kesenjangan untuk mengetahui perbedaan antara kedua kondisi untuk selanjutnya akan digunakan sebagai bahan pertimbangan dalam pembuatan SOP layanan.

Three new species of Tricalysia (Rubiaceae) from Atlantic Central Africa
Authors: Lachenaud Olivier , Stévart Tariq , Sonké Bonaventure
Published: July 2020

Background and aims – The genus Tricalysia A.Rich. (Rubiaceae), regarded here in the strict sense (i.e., excluding Empogona Hook.f.), includes 77 species in tropical Africa, Madagascar and the Comoros. In the current paper, three new species from Atlantic Central Africa are described and illustrated; their conservation status is also assessed.Material and methods – This paper is based on a study of herbarium collections from BR, BRLU, K, LBV, P, WAG and YA. Normal practices of herbarium taxonomy have been applied. The conservation status assessments follow the IUCN Red List criteria.Results – Tricalysia lophocarpa O.Lachenaud & Sonké is endemic to Gabon and is best recognised by its fruits with 8–10 narrow longitudinal ribs. Tricalysia obovata O.Lachenaud & Sonké is endemic to Equatorial Guinea (Rio Muni) and may be recognised by its obovate leaves with rounded base, glabrous stems, and sessile flowers with included style and half-exserted anthers. Tricalysia wilksii O.Lachenaud & Sonké occurs in Gabon and southwestern Republic of Congo, and may be recognised by its glabrous stems and leaves, the latter with crypt domatia, its linear calyx teeth equalling or exceeding the tube in length, and its shortly pedicellate fruits. The three species are assessed respectively as Near-threatened (T. lophocarpa), Critically Endangered (T. obovata) and Vulnerable (T. wilksii).

Abstract. The Amazon rainforest presents a unique, natural laboratory for the study of surface-atmosphere interactions. Its alternation between a near-pristine, marine-influenced atmosphere during the wet season, and a vulnerable system affected by periodic intrusions of anthropogenic pollution during the dry season, provides an opportunity to investigate some fundamental aspects of boundary-layer chemical processes. This study presents the first simultaneous hourly measurements of concentrations, fluxes and deposition velocities of the inorganic trace gases NH3, HCl, HONO, HNO3 and SO2 and their water-soluble aerosol counterparts NH4+, Cl−, NO2−, NO3− and SO42− over the Amazon. Species concentrations were measured in the dry season (from 6 October to 5 November 2017), at the Amazon Tall Tower Observatory (ATTO) in Brazil, using a two-point gradient, wet-chemistry instrument (Gradient of Aerosols and Gases Online Registration, GRAEGOR) sampling at 42 m and 60 m. Fluxes and deposition velocities were derived from the concentration gradients using a modified form of the aerodynamic gradient method corrected for measurement within the roughness sub-layer. Findings from this campaign include observations of elevated concentrations of NH3 and SO2 partially driven by long-range transport (LRT) episodes of pollution, and the substantial influence of coarse Cl− and NO3− particulate on overall aerosol mass burdens. From the flux measurements, the dry season budget of total reactive nitrogen dry deposition at the ATTO site was estimated as −2.9 kg N ha−1 a−1. HNO3 and HCl were deposited continuously at a rate close to the aerodynamic limit. SO2 was deposited with an average daytime surface resistance (Rc) of 28 s m−1, whilst aerosol components showed average surface deposition velocities of 2.8 and 2.7 mm s−1 for SO42− and NH4+.

Instrumental characteristics and potential greenhouse gas measurement capabilities of the Compact High-Spectral-Resolution Infrared Spectrometer: CHRIS
Authors: El Kattar Marie-Thérèse , Auriol Frédérique , Herbin Hervé
Published: July 2020

Abstract. Ground-based high-spectral-resolution infrared measurements are an
efficient way to obtain accurate tropospheric abundances of different
gaseous species, in particular greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as
CO2 and CH4. Many ground-based spectrometers are used
in the NDACC and TCCON networks to validate the Level 2 satellite
data, but their large dimensions and heavy mass make them inadequate
for field campaigns. To overcome these problems, the use of portable
spectrometers was recently investigated. In this context, this paper
deals with the CHRIS (Compact High-Spectral-Resolution Infrared
Spectrometer) prototype with unique characteristics such as its high
spectral resolution (0.135 cm−1 nonapodized) and its wide
spectral range (680 to 5200 cm−1). Its main objective is
the characterization of gases and aerosols in the thermal and
shortwave infrared regions. That is why it requires high radiometric
precision and accuracy, which are achieved by performing spectral and
radiometric calibrations that are described in this paper. Furthermore,
CHRIS's capabilities to retrieve vertical CO2 and CH4
profiles are presented through a complete information content
analysis, a channel selection and an error budget estimation in the
attempt to join ongoing campaigns such as MAGIC (Monitoring of
Atmospheric composition and Greenhouse gases through multi-Instruments
Campaigns) to monitor GHGs and validate the actual and future
space missions such as IASI-NG and Microcarb.
Modeling biological nitrogen fixation in global natural terrestrial ecosystems
Authors: Yu Tong , Zhuang Qianlai
Published: July 2020

Abstract. Biological nitrogen fixation plays an important role in the global
nitrogen cycle. However, the fixation rate has been usually measured or
estimated at a particular observational site. To quantify the fixation
amount at the global scale, process-based models are needed. This study
develops a biological nitrogen fixation model to quantitatively estimate
the nitrogen fixation rate by plants in a natural environment. The revised
nitrogen module better simulates the nitrogen cycle in comparison with our
previous model that has not considered the fixation effects. The new model
estimates that tropical forests have the highest fixation rate among all
ecosystem types, which decreases from the Equator to the polar region. The
estimated nitrogen fixation in global terrestrial ecosystems is 61.5 Tg N yr−1 with a range of 19.8–107.9 Tg N yr−1 in the 1990s. Our
estimates are relatively low compared to some early estimates using
empirical approaches but comparable to more recent estimates that involve
more detailed processes in their modeling. Furthermore, the contribution of
nitrogen made by biological nitrogen fixation depends on ecosystem type and
climatic conditions. This study highlights that there are relatively large
effects of biological nitrogen fixation on ecosystem nitrogen cycling. and
the large uncertainty of the estimation calls for more comprehensive
understanding of biological nitrogen fixation. More direct observational
data for different ecosystems are in need to improve future quantification of fixation
and its impacts.
BFM17 v1.0: Reduced-Order Biogeochemical Flux Model for Upper
Ocean Biophysical Simulations
Authors: Smith Katherine M. , Kern Skyler , Hamlington Peter E. , Zavatarelli Marco , Pinardi Nadia , Klee Emily F. , Niemeyer Kyle E.
Published: July 2020

Abstract. We present a newly developed reduced-order biogeochemical flux model that is complex and flexible enough to capture open-ocean ecosystem dynamics, but reduced enough to incorporate into highly resolved numerical simulations with limited additional computational cost. The reduced-order model, which is derived from the full 56 state variable Biogeochemical Flux Model (BFM56; Vichi et al. (2007)), follows a biological and chemical functional group approach and allows for the development of critical non-Redfield nutrient ratios. Matter is expressed in units of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphate, following techniques used in more complex models. To reduce the overall computational cost and to focus on open-ocean conditions, the reduced model eliminates certain processes, such as benthic, silicate, and iron influences, and parameterizes others, such as the bacterial loop. The model explicitly tracks 17 state variables, divided into phytoplankton, zooplankton, dissolved organic matter, particulate organic matter, and nutrient groups. It is correspondingly called the Biogeochemical Flux Model 17 (BFM17). After providing a detailed description of BFM17, we couple it with the one-dimensional Princeton Ocean Model (POM) for validation using observational data from the Sargasso Sea. Results show good agreement with the observational data and with corresponding results from BFM56, including the ability to capture the subsurface chlorophyll maximum and bloom intensity. In comparison to previous reduced-order models of similar size, BFM17 provides improved correlations between model output and field data, indicating that significant improvements in the reproduction of in situ data can be achieved with a low number of variables, while maintaining the functional group approach.

Los debates sobre maternidad han aumentado en las redes sociales de internet, especialmente en Brasil. Por medio de narrativas personales, distintas mujeres comparten sus vivencias maternas en estos espacios, creando redes de apoyo, negociación y conflicto. El artículo explora los valores disputados a través de estas narrativas; la manera en que las redes sociales de internet hacen visibles las problemáticas de la maternidad; y cómo las narrativas personales se integran al ambiente dialógico de la cultura digital. El corpus está compuesto por nueve posts brasileños ‒ tres en fanpages de Facebook, tres en perfiles personales del mismo sitio web y tres en blogs maternos ‒, con sus respectivos comentarios. En términos metodológicos, el artículo se apoya en el Análisis del Discurso Mediado por Computadora (ADMC). Las discusiones on-line sobre maternidad sugieren una potencial difusión del tema generada por las performances discursivas de las participantes.
El nosotros y los otros en los discursos del presidente ecuatoriano Lenín Moreno durante 2018
Authors: Andino Byron Pacífico
Published: July 2020

El artículo analiza los discursos del mandatario ecuatoriano Lenín Moreno (2017-2021) a partir de la construcción de los prodestinatarios y los contradestinatarios, es decir, de un nosotros y un otros, con sus representaciones positivas y negativas. El estudio indaga en la estrategia discursiva del presidente en el contexto de Ecuador durante el año 2018, cuando Moreno asume una lógica política del consenso para su articulación con grupos de poder y que su nuevo opositor sea su excorreligionario y exmandatario Rafael Correa, a quien se dirigen todos los ataques mediante las entidades del imaginario y con una reescritura de lo que fue ese gobierno. Los resultados del análisis del discurso político evidencian un abandono de categorías aglutinadoras del nosotros en la “Revolución Ciudadana” de Correa a “El Gobierno de todos” de Moreno.
Memorias de la represión. Violencia política en la ficción televisiva a 40 años del Golpe de Estado en Chile

Published: July 2020

Este artículo se centra en las lecturas que realizan tres generaciones de telespectadores de las series televisivas ficcionales emitidas en televisión abierta en el marco de la conmemoración de los 40 años del golpe de estado en Chile. A partir del análisis de 24 entrevistas y de 6 grupos focales realizados a hombres y mujeres de tres generaciones distintas -los que vivieron el golpe de Estado; los que crecieron en dictadura y; los que crecieron en democracia-, nos preguntamos: ¿Qué memorias sobre la violencia política del pasado reciente de Chile construyen los telespectadores de estas tres generaciones a partir de sus lecturas de las series ficcionales producidas en el contexto de la conmemoración de los 40 años del golpe militar? Los resultados obtenidos señalan que la experiencia vivida en relación con la dictadura impacta diferenciadamente en sus lecturas acerca de la violencia política del periodo representado en las series ficcionales.

Zeker en vast. De invloed van de wijziging van leningsvoorwaarden, fusie, splitsing, omzetting, schuldoverneming en overdracht van bezwaarde goederen op goederenrechtelijke zekerheden

Dit artikel behandelt de positie van de zekerheidshouder na herstructurering van de groep vennootschappen waartoe de zekerheidsgever(s) behoort (behoren). Herstructurering kan leiden tot wijziging van de kredietovereenkomst, tot een ‘wijziging’ van de schuldenaren of zekerheidsgevers (door bijvoorbeeld fusie of splitsing), of tot een herschikking van de goederen binnen de groep. Vanuit kosten-, tijds- en juridisch oogpunt vermijdt zowel de zekerheidshouder als de zekerheidsgever bij voorkeur dat zekerheden hergevestigd moeten worden. De auteur bespreekt of, en in welke gevallen, hervestiging nodig of gewenst is in het geval van wijziging van de kredietovereenkomst, fusie, splitsing of omzetting van een zekerheidsgever, schuldoverneming en overdracht van goederen binnen de groep.

OV-verboden: tussen publiekrecht en privaatrecht. Het rechtskarakter van toegangsverboden op stations en in het openbaar vervoer

OV-verboden worden opgelegd om overlast in het openbaar vervoer en op stations te bestrijden. Zowel het privaatrechtelijke huisrecht en contractenrecht als de Wet personenvervoer 2000 bieden vervoerders en hun veiligheidspersoneel een juridische basis voor dit optreden. Bij de totstandkoming van de wettelijke regeling is onduidelijk gebleven wat het rechtskarakter van de OV-verboden is. Dit heeft gevolgen voor de toepasselijkheid van de beginselen van behoorlijk bestuur, grondrechten en de laagdrempelige bestuursrechtelijke rechtsbeschermingsprocedure. Om onduidelijkheid in de (rechts)praktijk te voorkomen, zou in algemene zin nagegaan moeten worden wat privaatrechtelijk al kan en wat de noodzaak is van nadere publiekrechtelijke bevoegdheden, voordat wordt overgegaan tot wettelijke regeling van sancties die worden opgelegd door private partijen.
Short-term audiological outcomes according to stapedotomy technique: microdrill at low revolutions versus manual perforator to perform the small fenestra of the footplate. An observational prospective study.
Authors: Palacios-Garcia Jose , Ropero-Romero Francisco , Aguilar-Vera Francisco , Sanchez-Gomez Serafin
Published: July 2020

Introduction: Stapedotomy is currently the surgical technique of choice for treating otosclerosis. Despite this, there is not an agreement about the best technique to perform the small fenestra on the footplate, therefore multiple procedures have been proposed. The aim of this study was to investigate the hearing outcomes of microdrill and manual perforator. Material and Methods: Observational prospective study was carried out on patients that underwent stapedotomy. We analyzed the hearing threshold in two groups of patients according to the way the fenestra footplate was realized by microdrill or manual perforator. Results: A total of 113 patients were evaluated. Postoperative hearing gain of the microdrill group was 23.29 (18.58) dB HL 95% CI (18.40-28.18). In the manual perforator group, it was 22.67 (12.91) dB HL 95% CI (19.07-26.26). Both groups were statistically significant. Postoperative bone conductive hearing threshold at the frequencies of 0.5, 1 and 2 KHz and postoperative air conductive hearing threshold at the frequencies of 2 and 4 KHz showed statistically significant differences in the manual perforator group. The closure of air-bone gap was higher in the microdrill group with statistically significant differences. Conclusion: Both, manual perforator and microdrill, have good hearing outcomes at six months after surgery. Manual perforator has better audiological outcomes than microdrill. Hence, manual perforator is a safe technique and can be used in center that do not have other methods to do the small fenestra.

Published: July 2020

In the current case report we present a novel case of a successful coil embolization of the left internal carotid artery aneurysm.
The patient presented with neck pain and a palpable pulsating tumor and was admitted to the vascular surgery clinic where an
angio-CT scan of the neck was performed. Angio-CT revealed a left internal carotid artery aneurysm with a narrow neck. The
patient was admitted to the department of vascular surgery where she was enrolled into endovascular coil embolization. After
the procedure, control angiography showed complete embolization of the aneurysm. Three months following the procedure,
doppler ultrasonography of the carotid arteries showed no demonstrable flow into the aneurysm. Six months following the
procedure, angio-CT confirmed complete aneurysm thrombosis. Based on this case, endovascular coil embolization of the
carotid artery aneurysms is a safe and effective method of treatment.

The Use of Synchronous Fluorescence Technique in Environmental Investigations of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Airborne Particulate Matter from an Industrial Region in Poland
Authors: Matuszewska Aniela , Czaja Maria
Published: July 2020

The applicability of the fluorescence techniques to identify the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in environmental samples is presented. The technique of synchronous fluorescence enabled the identification of the PAHs series containing 2–6 condensed rings in urban airborne particulate matter from Upper Silesia industrial region in Poland. The results obtained by synchronous and conventional fluorescence measurements have been confirmed by those from gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. As the air sample was taken in summer season, the main source of pollution by PAHs component seems to be transport – the exhaust gases from motor vehicles.
Application of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells in Treatment of Bone Tissue Defects
Authors: Najman Stevo , Najdanović Jelena , Cvetković Vladimir
Published: July 2020

Despite excellent self-regeneration capacity of bone tissue, there are some large bone defects that cannot be healed spontaneously. Numerous literature data in the field of cell-based bone tissue engineering showed that adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) after isolation could be subsequently applied in a one-step approach for treatment of bone defect, without previous in vitro expansion and osteoinduction. However, standard approaches usually involve in vitro expansion and osteoinduction of ADSCs as an additional preparation step before its final application. Bioreactors are also used for the preparation of ADSC-based graft prior application. The commonly used approaches are reviewed, and their outcomes, advantages, disadvantages, as well as their potential for successful application in the treatment of bone defects are discussed. Difficulty in spontaneous healing of bone defects is very often due to poor vascularization. To overcome this problem, numerous methods in bone tissue engineering (BTE) were developed. We focused on freshly isolated stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells and ADSCs in vitro induced into endothelial cells (ECs) as cells with vasculogenic capacity for the further application in bone defect treatment. We have reviewed orthotopic and ectopic models in BTE that include the application of SVFs or ADSCs in vitro induced into ECs, with special reference to co-cultivation.
Principles and Applications of Nanoplasmonics in Biological and Chemical Sensing: A Review
Authors: A. Sohi Parsoua , Kahrizi Mojtaba
Published: July 2020

Biosensing requires a highly sensitive real-time detection of the biomolecules. These properties are granted by nanoplasmonic sensing techniques. SPR-based optical sensors have evolved as a sensitive and versatile biosensing tool. A growing number of SPR-based sensing applications in the solution of clinical problems are reported in the recent years. This refers to the point that these sensors provide label-free detection of the living cells and non-destructive analysis techniques. In this study, we will review the mechanism of the detection in SPR biosensing, followed by the methods used to develop sensors to detect gases and the chemical, biological, and molecular interaction. The device sensitivity improvement based on plasmonic effects is also addressed in this study, and accordingly, the size and material dependence of the resonance frequency are discussed. The reviewed articles are categorized into three groups, depending on the SPR excitation configuration. In the first group of the sensors, the sensitivity of LSPR-based sensors in prism coupler configurations is reviewed. The second group, SPR excitation by optical fiber, slightly improved the sensitivity of the detections. The unique capability of the third group, photonic crystal fiber SPR sensors, in providing greatly improved sensitivity, generated a vast field of researches and applications in biosensing devices.
Adipose-Derived Stem Cells Conditioned Media Promote In Vitro Osteogenic Differentiation of Hypothyroid Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Published: July 2020

Background: Thyroid hormones have many effects on the physiological functions of cells, including growth, differentiation, and metabolism. Objectives: Recently, studies have shown that the adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells conditioned medium (ADMSCs-CM) has many osteogenic factors, such as IGF-1, IL-6, and FGFs. Methods: In the current study, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were isolated from two sources; the adipose tissue of the testicular fat pad and the bone marrow of rat, and then characterized by flow cytometry. ADMSCs-CM was collected from the ADMSC in the healthy adult male rats. Hypothyroidism was induced by the administration of the Methimazole during 60 days and confirmed by the analysis of the serum level of T4 and TSH hormones. Cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation potential of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) derived from hypothyroid rats were investigated in the presence and absence of the CM by MTT assay, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, calcium content assay, and bone-related gene expression. Healthy BMSCs were assigned to the control group. Results: Although Cell proliferation was decreased in the hypothyroid BMSCs, there was no significant difference between the control and the hypothyroid-CM groups. Similarly, osteogenic potential was significantly reduced in the hypothyroid group compared to the control and hypothyroid-CM groups according to the ALP, calcium content assays, and gene expression results. There was no significant difference between the hypothyroid-CM group and control. Conclusions: Our results indicated that hypothyroidism can decrease cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Although ADMSCs-CM improved these parameters, it may be a promising candidate for the bone regeneration of the hypothyroidism cases.

Published: July 2020

Context: Vitamin D (VD) has been found to play a key role in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This meta-analysis explored the effects of VD supplementation in patients with NAFLD. Methods: The PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library databases were searched to find randomized control trials (RCTs) that measured the changes between the VD supplement group and the control group until May 2019. Standard mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) was calculated when data units were different, otherwise weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% CI was calculated. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 statistic. Results: Eight RCTs with 624 individuals were extracted. The main indicators, including serum alanine aminotransferase (WMD = -0.052; 95% CI: -3.740, 3.636; P = 0.978) and aspartate aminotransferase concentrations (WMD = -0.479; 95% CI: -2.791, 1.833; P = 0.685) were not significantly different between the intervention and placebo groups. In addition, no significant intergroup difference was observed in the following secondary indicators: fasting blood glucose (WMD = 0.466; 95% CI: -5.313, -10.879; P = 0.061), homeostasis model assessment (WMD = 0.380, 95% CI: -0.162, 0.923; P = 0.169), serum insulin concentration (WMD = 0.760; 95% CI: -0.532, 2.052; P = 0.249), high-density lipoprotein (WMD = -0.012; 95% CI: -0.188, 0.164; P = 0.891), and low-density lipoprotein (WMD = -0.115; 95% CI: -3.849, -3.620; P = 0.952). Conclusions: The results indicate that VD supplementation does not improve liver enzymes, insulin resistance, glucose metabolism parameters, and lipid levels in patients with NAFLD.

The preponderance of the articles in July issue of College & Research Libraries deal with topics related to technology. I note this with some irony as, due to social distancing and working from home, much of our work is happening through technology. Heck, it seems like our entire lived experience right now is computer-mediated! There has been a translation of the analog work experience into digital with Zoom meetings and email/chat consultations, not to mention the changes with the day-to-day minutiae with everything from ordering food, clothing, or other necessities (toilet paper?) online to binge-watching and gaming in order to keep from going crazy with shelter-in-place orders to watching YouTube videos to stay in shape (my youngest daughter is now talking about bringing back Jazzercise?!).

Modelos científicos em tempos de pandemia
Authors: Maar Alexander
Published: July 2020

A pandemia de COVID-19 deu maior visibilidade ao trabalho de epidemiologistas, e em particular ao uso de modelos epidemiológicos. Projeções da expansão da doença, número de casos e o seu pico esperado, são amplamente divulgadas na mídia. Políticas de saúde pública, como medidas de isolamento social, são justificadas à população com base na necessidade de se ‘achatar a curva’, e evitar o colapso do sistema de saúde. Mas o público não é informado sobre os usos e limitações dos modelos. A necessidade de recalibrarmos os modelos com novos dados e de revisarmos projeções também são pouco compreendidas e por vezes se tornam fonte de frustração, alimentando ceticismo para com a verdade científica. Neste artigo eu discuto brevemente de que maneira a reflexão filosófica sobre os usos dos modelos, e de suas propriedades epistêmicas – cognição, explicação e entendimento – pode mitigar esses problemas.

El municipio Anticaria Sulpicia : una propuesta sugerente pero improbable
Authors: Del Castillo Arcadio
Published: July 2020

Este trabajo sustenta la tesis de que la propuesta de Th. Mommsen, aceptada por un buen número de investigadores, según la cual la ciudad de Anticaria (Antequera) pudo haber recibido el estatuto municipal del emperador Galba, es a todas luces improbable. Para ello hemos analizado exhaustivamente la inscripción dedicada a C. Sentio Placeo, veterano de la legio XIV Gemina IVIartia Victrix y decurión de la colonia Dacica Sarmizegetusa (CIL, ///, 1196), que sirvió de base al referido autor, y hemos llegado a la conclusión de que sólo es aceptable una concesión municipal mediante el Edicto de Latinidad del emperador Vespasiana, el cual, según un conocido texto de Plinio el Viejo, concedió el derecho latino a la totalidad de la península Ibérica.This article sets out to show that Th. Mommsen 's widely accepted claim that the town of Anticaria (Antequera) was granted its municipal charter by the emperor Galba is extremely farfetched. The basis of the counterargument is an exhaustive analysis of the inscription devoted to C. Sentius Placeas, a veteran of the legio XIV Gemina Martia Victrix and decurión of the colonia Dacica Sarmizegetusa (CIL, ///, 1196), which provided the ground for Mommsen's original proposal. The paper concludes that the most the inscription allows us to assume is a municipal concession arising out of Vespasian's Edict of Latinitas, given that the Emperor, according to the well known text of Pliny the Eider, granted Latín rights to the entire Iberian Península.
La participación de la provincia tarraconense en la crisis de los años 68/69 d.C.
Authors: Fernández Uriel Pilar
Published: July 2020

Los turbulentos acontecimientos que se desarrollaron entre los años 68/69, son considerados como el tramo final de la dinastía Julio-Claudia y el inicio de una nueva etapa en el Alto Imperio. En un corto espacio de tiempo Roma padeció una guerra civil, sublevaciones en las provincias occidentales y cuatro emperadores se sucedieron en el gobierno de Roma. Todos estos hechos son consecuencia lógica de otros procesos anteriores, que se desarrollaron principalmente en el Principado de Nerón, eclosionando en estas graves manifestaciones que pusieron fin al mismo. Tales sucesos históricos incidieron de manera muy directa en la Híspanla romana y más concretamente en la provincia Tarraconense, que tuvo en ellos una activa participación.
Hallazgos de mosaicos romanos en Hispania (1977-1987)
Authors: Blázquez Martínez José María , López Monteagudo G. , Neira Jiménez M.L. , San Nicolás Pedraz María Pilar
Published: July 2020

Con motivo de la celebración del V Coloquio Internacional sobre Mosaicos Antiguos, celebrado en Bath en el año 1987, decidimos presentar una comunicación que diera a conocer los últimos hallazgos de mosaicos romanos en Hispania. Nos planteamos este objetivo para facilitar a la comunidad científica internacional interesada en el tema el conocimiento de mosaicos que, o bien habían sido publicados de forma dispersa en medios de difícil acceso y escasa difusión, o bien se hallaban inéditos o se conocían solamente a través de noticias muy vagas y escuetas. De este modo, no hacíamos sino seguir las pautas de otros países, conscientes de lo útil que resulta a cualquier investigador el poder contar con un repertorio accesible. Dada la amplitud del tema, estimamos conveniente iniciar nuestro trabajo relacionando los mosaicos publicados o conocidos a partir de 1977, de forma que en la fecha de la celebración del Congreso en 1987, completaran una década.

¡Pelayo vive! : un arquetipo político en el horizonte ideológico del reino asturleonés
Authors: Dacosta Arsenio
Published: July 2020

Pelayo vive. Los diversos trabajos aparecidos en los últimos años son muestra de la vitalidad del primer rey cristiano de la Edad Media hispana. Tales análisis han tratado de probar la validez de dos teorías historiográficas contrapuestas sobre los orígenes políticos y sociales del reino asturleonés. El presente artículo, en espera de la apertura de un debate al respecto, plantea otra posibilidad explicativa del contenido del ciclo cronístico asturiano del siglo ix, fuentes principales para el estudio de esta figura. En este sentido, aquí se procede al análisis de las mismas retomando estudios parciales, hoy prácticamente olvidados, que demuestran que gran parte de su contenido es básicamente literario. Pero se trata de un tipo de literatura muy especial, formada con retales de hagiografías altomedievales, pasajes bíblicos y leyendas de muy diverso origen. En este sentido, el autor plantea el hecho de que un Pelayo distinto viva tras el contenido aparentemente histórico de las crónicas asturianas. Este personaje legendario y su particular epopeya se inscribiría dentro de una política desarrollada a fines del siglo ix en la corte de Alfonso III conocida bajo el nombre de neogoticismo. Así, el relato legendario de Pelayo constituye un producto neogoticista tendente a crear un mito fundacional, un ascendiente legendario para el monarca y un arquetipo político útil en los procesos de integración social y política en el reino asturleonés.Pelayo lives. The different papers published in these years show the vitality of the first christian king of the spanish Middie Age. These analysis have tried to prove the validity of two opposite historigraphyc theories about the social and political origins of the asturleones kingdom. This article, while waiting the begining of a debate about this subject, introduces another alternative to explain the content of the asturian chronicle cycle of the IX century, which represente the main sources to study this figure. In this sense, they are anlysed considering partial studies, today practically forgotten, which show that a great part of their content was basically literature of a very special kind, formed with pieces of high middie age hagiographies, bible chapters and legends of very different origins. In this sense, the author introduces the fact that a different Pelayo lives behind the apparently historie content of the asturian chronicles. This legendary figure and his personal epopeya could be included in a context of the policy developed at the end of the nine century, under the kingdom of Alfonso III, known by the name of neogothicism. Henee, the legendary tale of Pelayo represents a neogothicist product towards the creation of a constituent myth, a legendary ancestor for the king and a usefull politycal archetype for the social and politycal processes of integration in the asturleonés kingdom.
