Categorization of digitized artworks by media with brain programming
Authors: Chan-Ley Mariana , Olague Gustavo
Published: April 2020

This work describes the use of brain programming applied to the categorization problem of art media. The art categorization problem—from the standpoint of materials and techniques used by artists—presents a challenging task and is considered an open research area. Brain programming is a machine learning methodology successfully tested for the problem of object categorization; however, when working with art images, the objects in pictures of the same category may be different from each other regarding image content. Therefore, it is necessary to find the best set of functions that extract specific features to identify patterns among different techniques. In this study, we show a comparison with deep learning to understand the limits and benefits of our approach. We train and validate solutions with the Kaggle database and test the best results with the WikiArt database. The results confirm that brain programming matches or surpasses deep learning in three out of five classes (over 90%) while being close (less than 5%) in the remaining two with significantly simpler programs.

Published: April 2020

Detecting articular cartilage (AC) degeneration in its early stage plays a critical role in the diagnosis and treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). Polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) is sensitive to the alteration and disruption of collagen organization that happens during OA progression. This study proposes an effective OA evaluating method based on PS-OCT imaging. A slope-based analysis is applied on the phase retardation images to segment articular cartilage into three zones along the depth direction. The boundaries and birefringence coefficients (BRCs) of each zone are quantified. Two parameters, namely phase homogeneity index (PHI) and zonal distinguishability (Dz), are further developed to quantify the fluctuation within each zone and the zone-to-zone variation of the tissue birefringence properties. The PS-OCT based evaluating method then combines PHI and Dz to provide a G
PS
score for the severity of OA. The proposed method is applied to human hip joint samples and the results are compared with the grading by histology images. The G
PS
score shows very strong statistical significance in differentiating different stages of OA. Compared to using the BRC of each zone or a single BRC for the entire depth, the G
PS
score shows great improvement in differentiating early-stage OA. The proposed method is shown to have great potential to be developed as a clinical tool for detecting OA.
Single-cavity dual-wavelength all-fiber femtosecond laser for multimodal multiphoton microscopy
Authors: Akhoundi Farhad , Peyghambarian N.
Published: April 2020

A single-cavity dual-wavelength all-fiber femtosecond laser is designed to generate 1030 nm wavelength for high resolution multiphoton imaging and 1700 nm wavelength for long penetration depth imaging. Considering two-photon and three-photon microscopy (2PM and 3PM), the proposed laser provides the single-photon wavelength equivalent to 343 nm, 515 nm, 566 nm and 850 nm, that can be employed to excite a wide variety of intrinsic fluorophores, dyes, and fluorescent proteins. Generating two excitation wavelengths from a single laser reduces the footprint and cost significantly compared to having two separate lasers. Furthermore, an all-reflective microscope is designed to eliminate the chromatic aberration while employing two excitation wavelengths. The compact all-fiber alignment-free laser design makes the overall size of the microscope appropriate for clinical applications.
In vivo deep-brain blood flow speed measurement through third-harmonic generation imaging excited at the 1700-nm window

Published: April 2020

Measurement of the hemodynamic physical parameter blood flow speed in the brain in vivo is key to understanding brain physiology and pathology. 2-photon fluorescence microscopy with single blood vessel resolution is typically used, which necessitates injection of toxic fluorescent dyes. Here we demonstrate a label-free nonlinear optical technique, third-harmonic generation microscopy excited at the 1700-nm window, that is promising for such measurement. Using a simple femtosecond laser system based on soliton self-frequency shift, we can measure blood flow speed through the whole cortical grey matter, even down to the white matter layer. Together with 3-photon fluorescence microscopy, we further demonstrate that the blood vessel walls generate strong THG signals, and that plasma and circulating blood cells are mutually exclusive in space. This technique can be readily applied to brain research.
Observation of Selényi rings in the diffraction patterns of layered samples with periodic arrays of cylindrical structures
Authors: Shlyagina Anna , González-Alcalde Alma K. , Salas-Montiel Rafael , Méndez Eugenio R.
Published: April 2020

We present an experimental and numerical study of the optical
properties of nanofabricated samples with layered dielectric
structures. The samples, which contain periodic arrays of silicon
disks over a flat layer of silicon dioxide on a silicon substrate,
present diffraction and thin film interference effects. Well-defined
circular fringes that modulate the intensity of the diffraction orders
are observed in the far-field angular distribution of scattered light.
We also find that although the angle of incidence modulates the
intensity of the observed circular ring patterns, it has little or no
effect on their angular position. The problem is modeled theoretically
through numerical calculations based on a Rayleigh method.
Effect of interband polarization on a solid's high-order-harmonic generation just belowthe band gap
Authors: Zhao Yi-Ting , Jiang Shi-Cheng , Zhao Xi , Chen Ji-Gen , Yang Yu-Jun
Published: April 2020

A series of theoretical and experimental results has proved that harmonics below/above the band gap are produced mainly by the intraband current/interband polarization for solids in strong mid-infrared laser pulses. However, which mechanism dominates the harmonic process is still debated. In this work, based on simulating high-order-harmonic generation from an MgO crystal in a linearly polarized mid-infrared laser by solving semiconductor Bloch equations, we demonstrate that harmonics just below the band gap originate from the interference between intraband and interband currents. Furthermore, it is found that intensities of harmonics just below the band gap are apparently enhanced with an increase in the incident laser’s strength. By analyzing the band dispersion and the transition dipole moment of the 001-cut MgO crystal, this can be attributed to the interband polarization between two conduction bands.
Extended-viewing-angle waveguide near-eye display with a polarization-dependent steering combiner
Authors: Yoo Chanhyung , Bang Kiseung , Chae Minseok , Lee Byoungho
Published: April 2020

A waveguide-based near-eye display (WNED) with an extended viewing angle using a polarization-dependent steering combiner (PDSC) is proposed. The novel eyepiece-combiner is composed of polarization gratings and polarization optics attached to the outcoupler part of the waveguide, which can control the output beam path depending on the polarization state. The viewing angle limited by the grating properties can be extended up to twice. Also, an ultrathinness of about 1.4 mm is suitable for the WNED. The demonstrated prototype system achieves a horizontal field of view of 33.2°, which is 2 times wider than the conventional structure (without the PDSC). The proposed configuration can resolve the viewing angle issue for the WNED.
Ecofeminist ‘lines of convergence’: Remapping the American West in Rebecca Solnit’s Savage Dreams
Authors: Henwood Daisy
Published: April 2020

This article examines the ways Rebecca Solnit’s Savage Dreams (1994) (re)maps two key locations in the American West. The text centres on Yosemite National Park and the Nevada Test Site, locations emblematic of histories of colonialism, patriarchy, capitalism and the military in the United States. Considering how Solnit constructs a counter-map of these places, this article argues that by tracing ‘lines of convergence’ on a landscape deemed empty by the dominant culture, Solnit both documents and is part of resistance to power structures upheld by traditional cartography. Using an ecofeminist framework based on drawing connections in the face of the dominant culture’s emphasis on fragmentation and separation, I discuss how Solnit exposes the silence and violence of the map. I then consider the ways she constructs a ‘testimonial network’ that counters both. Finally, I suggest that Solnit’s textual counter-map prompts us to re-read the traditional map on connective, ecofeminist terms.

Oíza en Ciudad Blanca
Authors: Ferrer Forés Jaime J.
Published: April 2020

Invitado a participar en la reunión del Team 10 en Royaumont (1962), Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oíza (Cáseda 1918 - Madrid 2000) construye en Mallorca Ciudad Blanca (1961-1963) que ilustra la asimilación de las ideas del Team 10 y la revisión crítica del Movimiento Moderno. El proyecto de Ciudad Blanca indaga en los planteamientos tratados en la reunión del Team 10 en Royaumont: Urban infrastructure and building-group concept. Redactado en colaboración con Juan Daniel Fullaondo, el proyecto de ordenación concibe un extenso desarrollo turístico frente a la bahía de Alcudia del que se construye únicamente un bloque escalonado de 100 apartamentos y una torre. La misma respuesta formal basada en la modulación y el escalonamiento se asocia a las diversas escalas, el bloque, la torre y el conjunto de la urbanización. Como revisión crítica del sistema racional de la Carta de Atenas, el bloque aislado moderno se escalona y se modela. Esta evolución formal muestra, en la trayectoria de Oíza, el tránsito de las formas compactas de los bloques aislados de vivienda colectiva a las formas articuladas y escalonadas de Ciudad Blanca; desde el orden espacial y la diversidad de la composición de los bloques autónomos de las viviendas sociales de Fuencarral A (1953) o Entrevías (1956), a una estructura arquitectónica dinámica y continua en Alcudia.
When Lisbon met the Team 10 Cluster City
Authors: Borges João Cunha , Marat-Mendes Teresa
Published: April 2020

In the aftermath of the Doorn Manifesto (1954), Team 10 members synthesize their earlier projects into a new urban model: the Cluster City. In 1961, the Lisbon Technical Office for Housing (Gabinete Técnico de Habitação) – GTH was established to support the Portuguese government in solving an ongoing housing shortage. Soon, this new office planned the urbanization of the Chelas Valley, a large suburban agricultural area situated in the East area of Lisbon. This plan tested approaches to neighbourhood planning unprecedented in the municipality. The Zone I of the Plan, by Francisco Silva Dias and Luís Vassalo Rosa (1966) was the first to be implemented, echoing in practice the principles of the Doorn Manifesto.

In this essay, we identify the urban forms used in this Plan, and the ‘ground rules’ which structured it and influenced its change over time. Furthermore, we ask how sustainable this Cluster City is, and whether it can shed some light in the recent demise of emblematic examples like Toulouse-Le Mirail and Robin Hood Gardens.
Computer-assisted Existence Proofs for One-dimensional Schrödinger-Poisson Systems
Authors: Wunderlich Jonathan , Plum Michael
Published: April 2020

Motivated by the three-dimensional time-dependent Schrödinger-Poisson system we prove the existence of non-trivial solutions of the one-dimensional stationary Schrödinger-Poisson system using computer-assisted methods.

Starting from a numerical approximate solution, we compute a bound for its defect, and a norm bound for the inverse of the linearization at the approximate solution. For the latter, eigenvalue bounds play a crucial role, especially for the eigenvalues "close to" zero. Therefor, we use the Rayleigh-Ritz method and a corollary of the Temple-Lehmann Theorem to get enclosures of the crucial eigenvalues of the linearization below the essential spectrum.

With these data in hand, we can use a fixed-point argument to obtain the desired existence of a non-trivial solution "nearby" the approximate one. In addition to the pure existence result, the used methods also provide an enclosure of the exact solution.
Youngsters’ Partnership Behaviour in the Carpathian Basin
Authors: Vita Emese
Published: April 2020

This paper aims to present the social and demographic characteristics of
partnership types among the group of youngsters beyond the borders of
Hungary. We also analyze the relationship between partnership status and
basic socio-demographic variables, to explore to what extent partnership
status is determined by the aforementioned factors (cohort, region/location,
social background, education, value orientation). The analysis is based on
empirical survey data, collected in 2015. The target group of the research
was ethnic Hungarian youth, aged between 15–29, who live beyond the borders
of Hungary. As for methodology, descriptive statistics and multivariate
analyses are used, more precisely logistic regressions in order to explain
the effects of social determinants of partnership behavior. Explanatory
models were usually carried out in three steps, including independent
variables as the social-demographic ones, as well as education background of
fathers and educational level of respondents. Factors measuring value
orientation were introduced in the second step, and the final models
incorporates variables such as parenting status and the parents’national
identity referring to mixed or homogenous family background.

According to our analysis partnership status is strongly determined by
domicile type, age, gender and value system. Subcarpathian youngsters tend
to be the most traditional, while postmodern partnership formation trends
are most adopted by youngsters from Southern Slovakia. Older cohorts and
women are more likely to live in cohabitation or marriage. However,
religiosity and having children significantly raises the chance of living in
marriage, cohabitation is more likely determined by career oriented values
and provenience from ethnically mixed families.

La temporalidad de la participación y valor de su consideración para la sostenibilidad ambiental del hábitat en pequeñas comunidades costeras
Authors: Freyre Joaquin Alonso , Castellón Ginley Durán , Moya Edelkis Rodríguez
Published: April 2020

La consideración de la temporalidad de la participación para la sostenibilidad ambiental del hábitat en pequeñas comunidades costeras resulta indispensable por su aporte a la diferenciación del encargo que corresponde a cada sujeto implicado en tal sostenibilidad, al diagnóstico del estado de simetría social presente en sus relaciones sociales mutuas y al planteo de alternativas de solución de problemáticas con el involucramiento de todos los implicados. Ello es un requerimiento de gobernanza de la sostenibilidad ambiental del hábitat para afrontar el cambio climático como ocurre con la reubicación espacial de comunidades con decisiones que impactan de manera profunda en su vida cotidiana, no solo en el ejercicio laboral relacionado con la costa, sino además en toda la subjetividad involucrada con el arraigo al ambiente marino, donde los afectados son atendidos solo en términos de percepción del riesgo.

Palabras clave: participación, temporalidad, sostenibilidad ambiental, hábitat y comunidades costeras.

The Man in the Balloon
Authors: Ackland Valentine
Published: April 2020

This article puts into the public domain for the first time a correspondence between Valentine Ackland and Elizabeth Wade White written in January 1951. The affair between the two women which had begun in 1938 ended in 1950, although they continued to correspond and occasionally meet until Ackland’s death in 1969. The letters were written when both women were struggling to come to terms with the end of their physical and romantic attachment and were deeply unhappy. In the letters each correspondent analyses the history of the relationship and the causes of the fracture between them. The letters and their attachments are remarkable representations of love and guilt, heartache and compassion. Their publication adds to our knowledge of an affair which had repercussions for the lives not only of Ackland and Wade White but also for those of their life partners: Sylvia Townsend Warner and Evelyn Holahan.
Inne miejsca – filmowe obrazy antykwariatu jako heterotopie

An antiquarian bookshop is a compelling site in the space of culture. Its history and its dense network of associations with an array of other cultural phenomena (e.g. fetishism, collecting, the rise and roles of libraries and museums, to name but a few) have long captivated creative practitioners – writers, painters and film-makers. 84 Charing Cross Road by D.H. Jones, The Ninth Gate by R. Polański and Antykwariat (The Second-Hand Bookstore) by M. Cuske are films in which antiquarian bookshops are appointed similarly central roles, but which at the same time differ from each other generically, each of them being a generic hybrid. In their cinematic renderings, the antiquarian bookshops appear as heterotopias in the sense proposed by Michel Foucault. The representations of the antiquarian bookshop revolve around its otherness vis-à-vis their surroundings, and frame it as unique, functionally variable within culture (a trading venue vs. a meeting point; a trading venue vs. a microcosm) and time-accumulating (heterochrony). Though generically disparate, the cinematic images of the antiquarian bookshop are all intimately embedded in Western culture.

Using selected films, a picture of library buildings and their interiors from the 1950s to the present day has been created. The vast majority of libraries are “temples of knowledge”, and librarians (invariably educated and relatively unattractive women) are the “guardians” of the collections. Contemporary film rarely depicts shows libraries as a system not to be overestimated “in the times of smart phones and social media”. Filmmakers’ attention is drawn mainly the interesting architecture of library interiors to, in which “library scenes” are set, hence the aura of library is seldom perceptible. Książnice is often the backdrop or part of the story told in the film, and sometimes reveal other features such as the genre and other books important to the characters.

Poznań 2019, Adam Mickiewicz University Press, pp. 257–272. ISSN 1644-6763. DOI 10.14746/pt.2019.32.13.

The article is an attempt to interpret Ray Bradbury’s anti-utopian novel 451 degrees Fahrenheit, published in 1953, and two film adaptations of this book: the film directed in 1966 by François Truffaut and Ramin Bahran television adaptation from 2018. All versions have a similar story structure and tell about the near future, in which the main task of the fire department is burning books. The differences consist in shifts of emphasis within the world presented. The author proves that the 1966version shows a possible world, which is “an audio world”, while in Ramin Bahrani’s work we are dealing with the “pictorial world”; in the 1966 film the written word is replaced by sounds and the spoken word, and in the version from 2018 by paintings. These differences indicate not only different possibilities for interpreting Ray Bradbury’s novel, but also transformations that took place at different levels of the reality surrounding us.

The article focuses on two productions (the TV series Upstart Crow and the feature film Shakespeare in Love), which present the life of the famous playwright in an unusual way. It also looks at matters related to the practice of writing biographies of famous people, as well as biographism, which is treated by the makers of the aforementioned productions in a deceptive and hypothetical way. Finally, the question is asked regarding the function of deception and mystification, which were consciously used in the process of creating Shakespeare’s biographies in the two examples analysed.

The article (of an analytical and interpretative nature) is devoted to the literary background of Luchino Visconti’s Vaghe stelle dell’Orsa (1965). The author studies in detail the links to three works, which form, as she claims, the primary points of literary references. What the article discusses, apart from the myth of Electra and Gabriele D’Annunzio’s novel Forse che si, forse che no (1910), are Richard Wagner’s music drama Die Walküre (1870) – absent so far in the Viscontian literature concerning the said movie – and Thomas Mann’s novella Wälsungenblut (1905/1958), which argues with Wagner’s work in a parodistic manner. By demonstrating how Visconti (1) transposes the literary allusions, (2) combines them into an overall structure, and (3) uses them on the plot level to encode the topic of brother- sister incest, the author comes to the conclusion that what we have here is a story in the form of a riddle, which Visconti dubbed for his own use a “crime movie unlike any other”. That riddle appears as a settlement with a romantic myth of love and carries on the poetics of philosophical ambivalence, so proper to Visconti.

84 Charing Cross Road (1987, dir. by David Jones) is the story of 20-year-long (1949–1969) correspondence between the American writer Helene Hanff and London antiquarian Frank Doel. The letters (edited and prepared for printing by Hanff) were published under the same title in 1970. This article is a precise analysis of the film work, particularly in the context of the two most important elements of its narrative and semantic plane (excluding the strictly historical introductory part). The first is a letter, understood mainly in its artistic function, the second, a book, both as a material object and a medium of literary content. Treating the epistolary material with ingenuity worthy of respect, the filmmakers managed to create one of the most convincing images of literary culture in the history of cinema, albeit one rather forgotten nowadays.

Dbf4-Dependent Kinase (DDK)-Mediated Proteolysis of CENP-A Prevents Mislocalization of CENP-A inSaccharomyces cerevisiae

Published: April 2020

The evolutionarily conserved centromeric histone H3 variant (Cse4 in budding yeast, CENP-A in humans) is essential for faithful chromosome segregation. Mislocalization of CENP-A to non-centromeric chromatin contributes to chromosomal instability (CIN) in yeast, fly, and human cells and CENP-A is highly expressed and mislocalized in cancers. Defining mechanisms that prevent mislocalization of CENP-A is an area of active investigation. Ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis of overexpressed Cse4 (GALCSE4) by E3 ubiquitin ligases such as Psh1 prevents mislocalization of Cse4, and psh1Δ strains display synthetic dosage lethality (SDL) with GALCSE4. We previously performed a genome-wide screen and identified five alleles of CDC7 and DBF4 that encode the Dbf4-dependent kinase (DDK) complex, which regulates DNA replication initiation, among the top twelve hits that displayed SDL with GALCSE4. We determined that cdc7-7 strains exhibit defects in ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis of Cse4 and show mislocalization of Cse4. Mutation of MCM5 (mcm5-bob1) bypasses the requirement of Cdc7 for replication initiation and rescues replication defects in a cdc7-7 strain. We determined that mcm5-bob1 does not rescue the SDL and defects in proteolysis of GALCSE4 in a cdc7-7 strain, suggesting a DNA replication-independent role for Cdc7 in Cse4 proteolysis. The SDL phenotype, defects in ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis, and the mislocalization pattern of Cse4 in a cdc7-7 psh1Δ strain were similar to that of cdc7-7 and psh1Δ strains, suggesting that Cdc7 regulates Cse4 in a pathway that overlaps with Psh1. Our results define a DNA replication initiation-independent role of DDK as a regulator of Psh1-mediated proteolysis of Cse4 to prevent mislocalization of Cse4.
Genome-Wide Discovery of G-Quadruplexes in Wheat: Distribution and Putative Functional Roles
Authors: Cagirici H Busra , Sen Taner Z
Published: April 2020

G-quadruplexes are nucleic acid secondary structures formed by a stack of square planar G-quartets. G-quadruplexes were implicated in many biological functions including telomere maintenance, replication, transcription, and translation, in many species including humans and plants. For wheat, however, though it is one of the world’s most important staple food, no G-quadruplex studies have been reported to date. Here, we computationally identify putative G4 structures (G4s) in wheat genome for the first time and compare its distribution across the genome against five other genomes (human, maize, Arabidopsis, rice, and sorghum). We identified close to 1 million G4 motifs with a density of 76 G4s/Mb across the whole genome and 93 G4s/Mb over genic regions. Remarkably, G4s were enriched around three regions, two located on the antisense and one on the sense strand at the following positions: 1) the transcription start site (TSS) (antisense), 2) the first coding domain sequence (CDS) (antisense), and 3) the start codon (sense). Functional enrichment analysis revealed that the gene models containing G4 motifs within these peaks were associated with specific gene ontology (GO) terms, such as developmental process, localization, and cellular component organization or biogenesis. We investigated genes encoding MADS-box transcription factors and showed examples of G4 motifs within critical regulatory regions in the VRN-1 genes in wheat. Furthermore, comparison with other plants showed that monocots share a similar distribution of G4s, but Arabidopsis shows a unique G4 distribution. Our study shows for the first time the prevalence and possible functional roles of G4s in wheat.

La ansiedad matemática (AM) es una de las reacciones afectivas que mayor influencia presenta en el desempeño del estudiantado; factores como el rendimiento académico, el género y la escogencia de la titulación se ven negativamente afectados por este constructo afectivo. En estudios anteriores se concluyó que tanto en Costa Rica como en España se han encontrado estudiantes que presentan ansiedad matemática, por lo tanto, en este artículo científico derivado de una investigación se profundizó en ello y se propuso como objetivo realizar un estudio comparativo sobre AM entre el estudiantado de la Universidad Nacional Costa Rica y de la Universidad de Granada en España, y precisar esta comparación observando lo que ocurre en cada país respecto a las diferencias de género y a la escogencia de la titulación. Para ello se aplicó una escala tipo Likert a un grupo de 2 085 estudiantes que cursaban la primera materia de matemática de su carrera universitaria, de este, 895 son estudiantes de la Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica y 1 190 son estudiantes de la Universidad de Granada en España. La escala permitió agrupar los ítems en tres categorías: ansiedad matemática ante los problemas, ansiedad matemática ante los exámenes, y ansiedad ante la matemática en general; en esta última categoría se incluyen aquellas situaciones relacionadas con el transcurso habitual de las clases de matemática. La investigación es de tipo cuantitativa. Para el análisis de utilizó un diseño factorial en el que las medidas de la ansiedad matemática y la de sus subconstructos actúan como variables dependientes, y la nacionalidad del estudiantado, el sexo y el tipo de carrera que cursan son los factores considerados en dicho diseño. Se evidenció que el alumnado de ambos países mostró un comportamiento similar con respecto a su ansiedad matemática; además, tanto en Costa Rica como en España, el estudiantado de las carreras con la mayor cantidad de cursos de matemática presenta ansiedad matemática, ansiedad matemática ante los problemas, ansiedad matemática ante los exámenes y ansiedad ante la matemática en general, significativamente menor que el resto del alumnado. No encontramos diferencias estadísticamente significativas del país según el género, evidenciando que en ambos países se mantiene que las mujeres presentan mayor ansiedad matemática, ansiedad matemática ante los problemas, ansiedad matemática ante los exámenes y ansiedad ante la matemática en general que los hombres. También, encontramos de forma significativa una correlación positiva entre las variables dependientes.

Factualidad e imparcialidad informativa en la prensa digital publicada durante la campaña presidencial en Colombia, 2014 -2018
Authors: García-Arango Ximena
Published: April 2020

En este artículo se describe y analizan los contenidos publicados en los medios de comunicación en la web durante las campañas presidenciales de Colombia de 2014, para identificar la imparcialidad y la factualidad informativa en la prensa digital. Se sustenta en el método interpretativo – hermenéutico, mediante el estudio de caso y análisis de contenido de los artículos web publicados entre el 25 de mayo y el 15 de junio de 2014 por los periódicos El Tiempo y El Espectador. Dentro de los hallazgos se identificó: el uso de una única fuente informativa y la limitación de testimonios a opiniones personales de políticos; priorización a contenidos sobre políticos y eventos de campaña por encima de análisis y programas de gobierno; los temas de paz y apoyo para la reelección presidencial fueron relevantes. Se concluye que el relato discursivo de ambos medios, redujo la narrativa escrita y le dio prioridad al uso de imágenes y videos, estableciendo una noticia que, si bien amplía los formatos en capacidad informativa, simplifica y modifica los elementos informativos relacionados con el hecho-suceso.
The orchids of John Henry Lance (1793–1878)
Authors: Ossenbach Carlos
Published: April 2020

John Henry Lance, a British barrister, spent a ten-year term in Surinam as Judge appointed to the ‘Mixed Court’ in Paramaribo, a post created to supervise the compliance of the Dutch authorities with a treaty signed between the Netherlands and England in 1818 prohibiting the slave trade in the Dutch colonies. During his term in Paramaribo, Lance, a friend of Bateman and Lindley, collected several new orchid species. However, his collection of watercolors depicting plants from Surinam, many of them orchids, would appear to be more important. Some of these were painted by himself, others by the Surinamese artist Gerrit Schouten. The orchids of this collection, never published, were supplied by the Lindley Library of the R.H.S. and are reproduced here with its kind permission.

Each religious sect has its own characteristics, whether fundamental, radical, or religious. One of them is Insan Al-Kamil Congregation, which is in Cijati, South Cikareo Village, Wado District, Sumedang Regency. This congregation is Sufism with the concept of self-purification as the subject of its teachings. So, the purpose of this study is to reveal how the origin of Insan Al-Kamil Congregation, the concept of its purification, and the procedures of achieving its purification. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with a normative theological approach as the blade of analysis. In addition, the data generated is the result of observation, interviews, and document studies. From the collected data, Jamaah Insan Al-Kamil adheres to the core teachings of Islam and is the tenth regeneration of Islam Teachings, which refers to the Prophet Muhammad SAW. According to this congregation, self-perfection becomes an obligation that must be achieved by human beings in order to remember Allah when life is done. The process of self-purification is done when human beings still live in the world by knowing His God. Therefore, the peak of self-purification is called Insan Kamil.

The essence of the paradigm of business process reengineering, “graphical thinking”, and “graphical utterance”, infographic modeling, it is shown that infographic models allow developing organizational solutions and technologies of activity that allow to imitate multi-position collective thinking in the conditions of individual thinking in the process of extracting new aspects of knowledge by the method of repeated reproduction and associative perception of the text in time and in space (the method of the INAZ).
The materials presented in this article are the result of the study “The use of infographics in serviology” carried out in continuation of earlier studies, the results of which were summarized in the publications.
Anti-sliding mechanism of soil–rock slope in transparent soil and discrete-element method
Authors: Li Chi , Wang Zhuang , Ding Xuan-ming
Published: April 2020

Double-row piles are an effective means to control landslides. The purpose of this research study was to explore internal deformation of the anti-sliding mechanism of double-row piles by using a transparent soil model test. Furthermore, the influence of the section shape, the space between the front and rear rows and the layout of piles on the formation, development and failure process of the soil-arching effect were also studied. The PFC2Dnumerical simulation method is used to simulate the model tests. The results show that the deformation process of a soil–rock composite slope with double-row piles can be divided into the following three stages: the initial stage, the uniform stage and the acceleration stage. The soil-arching effect would be obvious when the space between the front and back piles is four times the diameter of the pile. The spacing between the front and rear piles is four times the diameter of the pile, and the quincunx arrangement is more advantageous to delay a landslide of the soil–rock composite slope than is a rectangular section pile arrangement. This finding is a significant contribution to reveal the anti-slide mechanism of the double-row piles from the visualisation of the internal slipping.
Beyond a Passive Conduit: Implications of Lymphatic Biology for Kidney Diseases
Authors: Jafree Daniyal J. , Long David A.
Published: April 2020

The kidney contains a network of lymphatic vessels that clear fluid, small molecules, and cells from the renal interstitium. Through modulating immune responses and via crosstalk with surrounding renal cells, lymphatic vessels have been implicated in the progression and maintenance of kidney disease. In this Review, we provide an overview of the development, structure, and function of lymphatic vessels in the healthy adult kidney. We then highlight the contributions of lymphatic vessels to multiple forms of renal pathology, emphasizing CKD, transplant rejection, and polycystic kidney disease and discuss strategies to target renal lymphatics using genetic and pharmacologic approaches. Overall, we argue the case for lymphatics playing a fundamental role in renal physiology and pathology and treatments modulating these vessels having therapeutic potential across the spectrum of kidney disease.
