Doctorate of Nursing Practice Students' Impressions of Uses for Visual Thinking Strategies
Authors: Hensel Desiree , Moorman Margaret
Published: July 2017

Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) is a structured art-viewing technique designed to teach critical thinking and aesthetic appreciation. Literature on how VTS might be used in nursing is just emerging. This qualitative descriptive study examined written responses to how 14 doctorate of nursing practice students thought they might use VTS in their practice after engaging in a classroom session. Three themes emerged for how nurses might use VTS: Facilitating Interpersonal Relationships, Changing Thinking in Practice, and As a Teaching Tool. This study contributes to the growing body of literature that suggests that art and VTS and can be used in nursing with practitioners of all levels to promote conversations that involve listening intently and considering other possibilities.

El agua posee un importante valor simbólico en numerosos complejos religiosos, pero cuando cuenta, además, con una coloración oscura, constituye un nexo privilegiado con el ámbito subterráneo. El presente artículo incide en la relación entre santuarios dedicados a divinidades infernales y los «ríos negros», al tiempo que analiza el caso concreto de Endovellicus y su centro de culto de San Miguel de Mota (Portugal).
Fragmentos de códices litúrgico-musicales en España: apuntes para una historiografía y una propuesta de descripción
Authors: Fernández David Andrés , Martí Martínez Cristina
Published: July 2017

Desde la Edad Media, diversas circunstancias han fomentado la destrucción de los códices litúrgicos y la reutilización de sus folios. Los fragmentos subsistentes son prueba de lo que otrora formó parte de la cultura escrita en Occidente, por lo que estas fuentes primarias permiten conocer diversos aspectos de nuestra historia. En España, algunos investigadores han identificado y estudiado estos restos documentales, particularmente los litúrgico-musicales. Este artículo realiza una revisión historiográfica de las investigaciones efectuadas en España en la materia y propone, en base a esa revisión, una ficha descriptiva que pueda utilizarse como modelo en el análisis de dichos fragmentos que sirva a su vez de diseño de los campos en una potencial base de datos o catálogo colectivo en español. Como resultado, se ha actualizado la información en la materia y dispuesto una ficha descriptiva exhaustiva, rigurosa y adaptada a los estándares más aceptados.
La liturgia procesional de completas en el ámbito de los monasterios femeninos de la Orden de Predicadores en Castilla
Authors: Pérez Vidal Mercedes
Published: July 2017

La liturgia de las monjas dominicas castellanas y, por extensión, la de los monasterios femeninos en la Península Ibérica, ha sido escasamente estudiada y sigue siendo un asunto prácticamente desconocido. En consecuencia, el estudio del arte y la arquitectura en relación a la liturgia no ha tenido apenas impacto en la historiografía del monacato femenino en este ámbito. En este artículo se analizan los problemas de tal metodología en el estudio de los monasterios de dominicas de la Provincia de España, destacando la necesidad de adoptar un enfoque integrador, que tenga en consideración los escasos libros conservados, junto a otro tipo de fuentes documentales y también los edificios en sí mismos. Posteriormente, siguiendo esta metodología, se intenta reconstruir la celebración de la compleja liturgia de completas y el uso de los espacios monásticos a tal fin en estas fundaciones. Finalmente, se analizan los espacios destinados a la penitencia y también la probable influencia de ciertos movimientos ultrarrigoristas en tales prácticas y en la construcción de estos edificios.
El cardenal Joan Llopis, política y mecenazgo al servicio de los Borja (1454-1501)
Authors: Fernández de Córdova Miralles Álvaro
Published: July 2017

El presente trabajo analiza la actividad política y cultural del valenciano Joan Llopis, secretario de Rodrigo de Borja (futuro Alejandro VI) y uno de sus cardenales más afectos durante su pontificado. Gracias a su destreza y discreción, ocupó el oficio de la dataría convirtiéndose en uno de los principales colaboradores del papa en el gobierno de la Iglesia y sus relaciones con los Reyes Católicos, Florencia y el reino de Nápoles, sin abandonarle en los años finales de aproximación a Francia. Desde su privilegiada posición, Llopis participó en los círculos intelectuales romanos e impulsó proyectos artísticos en Perugia y la Ciudad Eterna que reflejan su sensibilidad por las corrientes culturales del Renacimiento. Aunque la acumulación de beneficios le acarrearon acusaciones de corrupción, Llopis no consolidó un patrimonio familiar, dedicando vida y ganancias a un papado al que sirvió en uno de los períodos más polémicos de su historia.
En torno al retablo mayor del monasterio de San Jerónimo de Granada: sus artífices, proceso constructivo, iconografía y modelos visuales
Authors: Cruz Cabrera José Policarpo
Published: July 2017

El retablo mayor de San Jerónimo de Granada constituye sin duda alguna una de las piezas señeras de la retablística andaluza e hispana de la Edad Moderna, tanto por la impronta clasicista de su arquitectura como por la confluencia de diversos maestros en la transición del renacimiento al primer naturalismo seiscentista. El artículo ofrece un estado de la cuestión sobre sus posibles autores, profundiza en su historia constructiva y aspectos iconográficos y, finalmente, aporta una visión inédita sobre las fuentes visuales que sirvieron de inspiración a esta magna obra.

El rey y el gran inquisidor: religión y política en los escritos de B. Monteagudo y C. Henríquez (Buenos Aires, 1810-1820)
Authors: Tcherbbis Testa Jimena
Published: July 2017

El artículo examina la relación entre política y religión durante la primera década revolucionaria del Río de la Plata a partir del análisis de la crítica a la Inquisición española por parte de quienes se aventuraron a la revolución. El análisis de las representaciones que B. Monteagudo y C. Henríquez construyeron acerca del tribunal, y el uso político que se hicieron de las mismas en la esfera pública porteña, demuestra que la cuestión inquisitorial ocupó un lugar significativo en el pensamiento político del período revolucionario. Es que la crítica a la Inquisición, allí cuando aparece, cede lugar a la defensa de los derechos naturales del hombre conjugada con una forma de gobierno que se imagina como liberal. Pues su crítica no era un mero recurso para atacar a España, era, también, un medio para imaginar nuevas formas de articular religión y política.
La Armada y la Iglesia en tiempos de Independencia: la Asociación de Jesús Sacramentado de Cartagena, 1808-1814
Authors: Sánchez Baena Juan José , Irigoyen López Antonio
Published: July 2017

El presente trabajo pretende analizar la introducción de la Armada en la esfera religiosa de la ciudad de Cartagena gracias a su alianza con la Iglesia católica. Debido a la situación de inestabilidad generada por la Guerra de la Independencia, los oficiales de la Marina quedaron encargados de la defensa de la ciudad y fueron mayoría dentro de la Junta local, lo que significó que habría de ocuparse también de asuntos religiosos. En este contexto se funda la Asociación de Jesús Sacramentado, cuyos cargos directivos serán ocupados preferentemente por oficiales de la Armada, la cual se reservaba, de este modo, un espacio propio dentro del panorama religioso de la ciudad.
La Biblioteca Ostolaza en Deva y el obispo Mateo Múgica (Polémica en 1930 en torno a unos libros y sus autores)
Authors: García de Juan Miguel Ángel
Published: July 2017

En el año académico 1928-1929 comenzó a funcionar en la localidad de Deva (Guipúzcoa) la “Escuela Biblioteca Emigrante Fundación Ostolaza” (EBEFO) creada por este filántropo indiano devarés, el cual había vivido en ella durante su infancia y adolescencia. Al principio del tercer curso se desencadenó, de forma privada y pública, una agria polémica entre el obispo de Vitoria monseñor Múgica Urrestarazu, secundado por los periódicos católicos más intransigentes, y los defensores de la fundación de José Manuel Ostolaza, a propósito de ciertos libros que, para los primeros, no debían engrosar los anaqueles de la mencionada biblioteca. La controversia, en la que tuvo parte activa a favor de Ostolaza el escritor donostiarra Pío Baroja, se decantó del lado de quienes apoyaban al fundador, hasta el punto de que, al empezar el curso 1932-1933, fue visitada por el presidente de la II República D. Niceto Alcalá Zamora.

Para ello, el texto se centra en su acción a través de su órgano de expresión, Hojas Sueltas, y en sus primeras conferencias públicas. Asimismo, se da a conocer la identidad del grupo fundacional de la ACN de JP, ya que los nombres completos y semblanzas del conjunto de estos miembros cofundadores eran prácticamente desconocidos. Finalmente, el texto aporta algunas conclusiones para clarificar la identidad ideológica del grupo.
Characterization of the role of RILP in cell migration
Authors: Margiotta Azzurra , Progida Cinzia , Bakke Oddmund , Bucci Cecilia
Published: July 2017

Rab-interacting lysosomal protein (RILP) is a regulator of late stages of endocytosis. Recent work proved that depletion of RILP promotes migration of breast cancer cells in wound healing assay, whereas its overexpression influences re-arrangements of actin cytoskeleton. Here, we further characterized the role of RILP in cell migration by analyzing several aspects of this process. We showed that RILP is fundamental also for migration of lung cancer cells regulating cell velocity. RILP silencing did not affect Golgi apparatus nor microtubules reorientation during migration. However, both RILP over-expression and expression of its mutated form, RILP-C33, impair cell adhesion and spreading. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that RILP has important regulatory roles in cell motility affecting migration velocity but also in cell adhesion and cell spreading.
Anticoagulation therapy in the elderly with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: a double-edged sword
Authors: Vetta Francesco , Locorotondo Gabriella , Vetta Giampaolo
Published: July 2017

Prevalence of non-valvular atrial fibrillation is increasing over time. Particularly in elderly population, treatment strategies to reduce the rate of stroke are challenging and still represent an unsolved cultural question. Indeed, the risk of thromboembolism increases in the elderly in parallel with the risk of bleeding. The frequent coexistence of several morbidities, frailty syndrome, polypharmacy, chronic kidney disease and dementia strengthens the perception that risk-benefit ratio of anticoagulant therapy could be unfavorable, and explains why such treatment is underused in the elderly. Recently, the introduction of non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) has allowed us to overcome the large number of limitations imposed by the use of vitamin K antagonists. In this manuscript, the benefits of individual NOACs in comparison with warfarin in elderly patients are reviewed. Targeted studies on complex elderly patients are needed to test usefulness of a geriatric comprehensive assessment, besides the scores addressing risk of thromboembolic and hemorrhagic events. In the meantime, it is mandatory that use of anticoagulant therapy in most elderly people, currently excluded from randomized controlled trials, is prudent and responsible.
Overlap between frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer’s disease: case report
Authors: Di Battista Maria Elena , Gallucci Maurizio
Published: July 2017

The frontal variant of Alzheimer’s disease (fv-AD) has been described in patients with prominent behavioral or executive dysfunctions. Subsequently, the spectrum of frontal variant Alzheimer’s disease has been enlarged to comprise patients with early personality and behavioral changes including disinhibition, apathy or compulsiveness. We describe the case of a patient with a history of memory loss and behavioral changes. The neuropsychological profile overlapped with the presence of behavioral disorders such as marked apathy, disinhibition, hostile behavior, agitation, irritability and hyperorality. The results of the neuropsychological examination leaned towards a diagnosis of frontotemporal circuit functional impairment, however, the 18-FDG PET study demonstrated a moderate-to-severe impairment in the bilateral parietal regions. On the basis of the neuropsychological profile and 18-FDG PET imaging, a diagnosis of a probable fv-AD was made, the patient started oral rivastigmine 3 mg/daily and subsequent assessments showed only modest worsening in the cognitive profile and a moderate improvement in behavioral symptoms.
The probabilistic innovation theoretical framework
Authors: Callaghan Chris W.
Published: July 2017

Background: Despite technological advances that offer new opportunities for solving societal problems in real time, knowledge management theory development has largely not kept pace with these developments. This article seeks to offer useful insights into how more effective theory development in this area could be enabled.Aim: This article suggests different streams of literature for inclusion into a theoretical framework for an emerging stream of research, termed ‘probabilistic innovation’, which seeks to develop a system of real-time research capability. The objective of this research is therefore to provide a synthesis of a range of diverse literatures, and to provide useful insights into how research enabled by crowdsourced research and development can potentially be used to address serious knowledge problems in real time.Setting: This research suggests that knowledge management theory can provide an anchor for a new stream of research contributing to the development of real-time knowledge problem solving.Methods: This conceptual article seeks to re-conceptualise the problem of real-time research and locate this knowledge problem in relation to a host of rapidly developing streams of literature. In doing so, a novel perspective of societal problem-solving is enabled.Results: An analysis of theory and literature suggests that certain rapidly developing streams of literature might more effectively contribute to societally important real-time research problem solving if these steams are united under a theoretical framework with this goal as its explicit focus.Conclusion: Although the goal of real-time research is as yet not attainable, research that contributes to its attainment may ultimately make an important contribution to society.
Online Research Output Submission System as a mechanism to influence publication citations: A pilot study
Authors: Nundulall Reetha
Published: July 2017

Background: Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) need to ensure that the education provided meets the student’s and employer’s requirements, for today and the future. However, in addition to the challenges of teaching and learning, internationalisation, globalisation and world university rankings are rearing their heads thus increasing the demands made on many HEIs.Objective: One of the ways in which HEIs can make their mark is through world university rankings. This may be achieved by exposing more information on new and innovative research knowledge to the broader community in the global market via research publications that attract citations on open access platforms, hence influencing the university’s ranking. For this purpose and intent, a ‘simple’ and ‘easy-to-use’ online web tool was developed at a HEI. The aim was to have research publications submitted via the Online Research Output Submission System (OROSS) tool, screened and deposited in the institution’s open access database.Method: Training was provided to the relevant participants and a survey was conducted to ascertain the participants’ perceptions about the utilisation of the OROSS tool and the training provided.Conclusion: This article reflects on the pilot phase of a longitudinal study. Results of an evaluation conducted by the researcher of the OROSS application from a user perspective (process) are highlighted. In general, users rated OROSS favourably in terms of it being a useful, simple and easy-to-use web-based tool. The findings of this study may assist University of Johannesburg’s executive management in deciding the fate of the OROSS tool for future use.
A New 2 D Bracket Positioning Gauge
Authors: Saklecha Bhuwan , Tekale Pawankumar Dnyandeo , Kulkarni Rahul
Published: July 2017

Bracket positioning is the basic premise of pre-adjusted system, which allows the teeth to be placed with a straight wire into an occlusal contact with an excellent mesiodistal inclination (tip) and excellent faciolingual inclination (torque). Improper bracket placement may lead to poorly placed teeth and necessitate bracket repositioning and archwire adjustments. This can lead to an increased treatment time or poor occlusion. Therefore, a bracket positioning gauge has been designed using both the planes and evaluated for its accuracy in bonding of brackets. It was found that the gauge not only helped in the placement of brackets accurately, but also reduced chairside time.

Role of the Clinical Research Coordinator in Orthopaedic Research: Making Research Less Onerous
Authors: Tainter David M , Grimm Nathan L
Published: July 2017

Conducting clinical research can be challenging. The challenges are derived from not only the logistical difficulties of proper scientific conduct but also the many regulatory bodies that are in place to safeguard against harm in subjects involved in clinical research. With the advent of the role of the Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) these challenges have improved. However, many don't understand the exact role of the CRC.

Published: July 2017

The increasing adoption of electronic medical record (EMR) systems has added complexity to performing clinical research in today's care environment. Each of the contributions from Duke University within this journal has interfaced with the systems for performing clinical research described in this study. While the increased use of EMRs has aided many aspects of clinical care, the logistics of doing the work of clinical research is seldom discussed. In this review, we briefly outline current practices regarding clinical research as they relate to interface with the EMR.

Highlights in Spine Care during the Last One Hundred Years
Authors: Nasca Richard J
Published: July 2017

The article reviews milestones in spine care that have occurred in the past 100 years. The various conditions and diagnoses we commonly treat today were poorly understood and there were few reliable treatments available in the first half of the twentieth century. Various diagnostic and imaging techniques have evolved as well as nonoperative and operative modalities to treat deformity, degenerative, and traumatic spine conditions. The reader should gain an understanding and appreciation of how interrelated the early concepts of management and treatment relate to the procedures and technology we take for granted today.

Preoperative Deep Vein Thrombosis following Acute Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tear: Report of Three Cases
Authors: Baumgartner Rita , Jones Matthew D , Hame Sharon L , McAllister David R
Published: July 2017

Case report

We report 3 cases of preoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in a 20-year-old female volleyball player (C1), a 22-year-old female snowboarder (C2), and a 36-year-old male recreational basketball player (C3). In all three cases, the patients presented with hypersensitivity in the injured knee and guarded significantly on physical examination. The patients were all placed on anticoagulation prior to operative intervention. C1 underwent repair 45 days after her injury and C2 delayed repair until completion of a 6 month course of warfarin. C3 did not undergo repair of the ACL; he developed significant stiffness and had diagnostic arthroscopy with lysis of adhesions and synovectomy 5 months following his injury.

Conclusion

Data is limited regarding the risk of DVT after nonmajor orthopaedic injury, such as ACL injury. Recognition and immediate treatment of the DVT is essential in minimizing the risk of additional complications. Duration of anticoagulation and delay in surgical intervention should be determined based on individual patient goals and risk factors.

Abstract. A wide range of anthropogenic halocarbons is released to the atmosphere, contributing to stratospheric ozone depletion and global warming. Using measurements of atmospheric abundances for the estimation of halocarbon emissions on the global and regional scale has become an important top-down tool for emission validation in the recent past, but many populated and developing areas of the world are only poorly covered by the existing atmospheric halocarbon measurement network. Here we present six months of continuous halocarbon observations from Finokalia on the island of Crete in the Eastern Mediterranean. The gases measured are the hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), HFC-134a (CH2FCF3), HFC-125 (CHF2CF3), HFC-152a (CH3CHF2) and HFC-143a (CH3CF3), and the hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), HCFC-22 (CHClF2) and HCFC-142b (CH3CClF2). The Eastern Mediterranean is home to 250 million inhabitants, consisting of a number of developed and developing countries, for which different emission regulations exist under the Kyoto and Montreal Protocols. Regional emissions of halocarbons were estimated with Lagrangian atmospheric transport simulations and a Bayesian inverse modelling system, using measurements at Finokalia in conjunction with those from Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment (AGAGE) sites at Mace Head (Ireland), Jungfraujoch (Switzerland) and Monte Cimone (Italy). Measured peak mole fractions at Finokalia showed generally smaller amplitudes for HFCs than at the European AGAGE sites, except periodic peaks of HFC-152a, indicating strong upwind sources. Higher peak mole fractions were observed for HCFCs, suggesting continued emissions from nearby developing regions such as Egypt and the Middle East. For 2013, the Eastern Mediterranean inverse emission estimates for the four analysed HFCs and the two HCFCs were 14.7 (6.7–23.3) Tg CO2eq yr-1 and 9.7 (4.3–15.7) Tg CO2eq yr-1, respectively. These emissions contributed 17.3 % (7.9–27.4 %) and 53 % (23.5–86%) to the total inversion domain, which covers the Eastern Mediterranean as well as Central and Western Europe. Greek bottom-up HFC emissions reported to the UNFCCC were much smaller than our top-down estimates, whereas for Turkey our estimates agreed with UNFCCC-reported values for HFC-125 and HFC-143a, but were much and slightly smaller for HFC-134a and HFC-152a, respectively. Sensitivity estimates suggest an improvement of the a posteriori emission estimates, i.e. a reduction of the uncertainties by 40–80 %, compared to an inversion using only the existing Central European AGAGE observations.

Abstract. Ground based Multi-Axis Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) and lidar measurements were performed in Shanghai, China during May 2016 to investigate the summertime atmospheric pollutants vertical distribution. In this study, vertical profiles of aerosol extinction coefficient, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and formaldehyde (HCHO) concentrations were retrieved from MAX-DOAS measurement using the Heidelberg Profile (HeiPro) algorithm, while vertical distribution of ozone (O3) was obtained from an ozone lidar. Sensitivity study of the MAX-DOAS aerosol profile retrieval shows that the a priori aerosol profile shape has significant influences on the aerosol profile retrieval. Aerosol profiles retrieved from MAX-DOAS measurements with Gaussian a priori demonstrate the best agreements with simultaneous lidar measurements and vehicle-based tethered-balloon observations among all a priori aerosol profiles. MAX-DOAS measured tropospheric NO2Vertical Column Densities (VCDs) show a good agreement with OMI satellite observations with Pearson correlation coefficient (R) of 0.95. In addition, measurements of the O3 vertical distribution indicate that the ozone productions do not only occur at surface level but also at higher altitudes (about 1.1 km). Planetary boundary layer (PBL) height, horizontal and vertical wind fields information were integrated to discuss the ozone formation at upper altitudes. The results reveal that enhanced ozone concentrations at ground and upper altitudes are not directly related to horizontal and vertical transportations. Similar patterns of O3 and HCHO vertical distributions were observed during this campaign, which implies that the ozone productions near to the surface and at higher altitudes are mainly influenced by the abundance of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the lower troposphere.
Detecting changes in forced climate attractors with Wasserstein distance
Authors: Robin Yoann , Yiou Pascal , Naveau Philippe
Published: July 2017

Abstract. The climate system can been described by a dynamical system and its associated attractor. The dynamics of this attractor depends on the external forcings that influence the climate. Such forcings can affect the mean values or variances, but regions of the attractor that are seldom visited can also be affected. It is an important challenge to measure how the climate attractor responds to different forcings. Currently, the Euclidean distance or similar measures like the Mahalanobis distance have been favored to measure discrepancies between two climatic situations. Those distances do not have a natural building mechanism to take into account the attractor dynamics. In this paper, we argue that a Wasserstein distance, stemming from optimal transport theory, offers an efficient and practical way to discriminate between dynamical systems. After treating a toy example, we explore how the Wasserstein distance can be applied and interpreted to detect non-autonomous dynamics from a Lorenz system driven by seasonal cycles and a warming trend.

Abstract. We propose a new satellite mission that uses a near-nadir Ka-band Doppler radar to measure surface currents, ice drift and ocean waves at spatial scales of 40 km and more, with snapshots at least every day for latitudes 75 to 82, and every few days otherwise. The use of incidence angles at 6 and 12 degrees allows a measurement of the directional wave spectrum which yields accurate corrections of the wave-induced bias in the current measurements. The instrument principle, algorithm for current velocity and mission performance are presented here. The proposed instrument can reveal features on tropical ocean and marginal ice zone dynamics that are inaccessible to other measurement systems, as well as a global monitoring of the ocean mesoscale that surpasses the capability of today’s nadir altimeters. Measuring ocean wave properties facilitates many applications, from wave-current interactions and air-sea fluxes to the transport and convergence of marine plastic debris and assessment of marine and coastal hazards.
Speaking Images. Chomsky and Ricoeur on Linguistic Creativity
Authors: Pedriali Walter B.
Published: July 2017

Linguistic creativity is the ability to understand indefinitely many previously unencountered sentences. In this paper, I compare Chomsky’s and Ricœur’s contrasting conceptions of this ability, in particular, their divergent views of nonsense. With nonsense, it seems as if syntax is outrunning semantics. Chomsky took this to show that syntax is autonomous of semantics. I propose a reading of Ricœur’s work on metaphor whereby Chomsky’s thesis is modified so that syntax and semantics are declared to be ultimately co-extensive notions.
Histoire et vérité chez Paul Ricœur et Thucydide: mimesis et enargeia
Authors: Soares Martinho Tomé
Published: July 2017

Cet article essaye d’analyser l’Histoire de la Guerre du Péloponnèse de Thucydide à la lumière des thèses ricœuriennes sur l’épistémologie de la connaissance historique, notamment les trois moments essentiels de l’opération historiographique : la preuve documentaire, l’explication/compréhension et l’écriture/représentation. Ce qui nous amène à insérer le texte de Thucydide dans la séquence des trois phases de la mimésis impliquée dans toute mise en discours : préfiguration, configuration, refiguration. Le dialogue que nous établissons entre le philosophe français et l’historien grec nous permet aussi de trouver plusieurs dissimilitudes et similitudes entre les deux, soit en réfléchissant sur la question de la vérité, soit en réfléchissant sur la dialectique entre lire et voir, sous le signe du concept rhétorique de l’enargeia.
Les ruines à l'épreuve de La mémoire, l'histoire, l'oubli: Imaginer se souvenir?
Authors: Barillas Laure
Published: July 2017

Quelle place accorder aux ruines dans la phénoménologie du souvenir esquissée par Ricœur dans La mémoire, l’histoire, l’oubli? La contemplation des ruines suscite le même problème que celui qui occupe tout l’ouvrage de Ricœur: la représentation du passé et les rapports de la mémoire et de l’imagination dans la formation du souvenir. Les ruines peuvent-elles donner lieu à un réagencement des relations de la mémoire et de l’imagination et produire un “imaginer se souvenir”?

Paul Ricœur et la question de la singularité et de l’unicité de l’événement à l’épreuve de la Shoah
Authors: Delacroix Christian
Published: July 2017

Il s’agit dans cet article d’analyser le travail de désingularisation relative de l’événement que Ricœur opère par couplage avec le récit dans Temps et récit au début des années 1980, puis la reprise de la question de la singularité et de l’unicité de l’événement dans La mémoire, l’histoire, l’oubli (paru en 2000) dans le cadre théorique recomposé de la représentation historienne mise à l’épreuve de “l’événement aux limites” qu’est la Shoah. Dans Temps et récit Ricœur entend dépasser, par l’entrecroisement entre histoire et fiction appliqué à des événements fondateurs d’identité collective comme la Shoah, l’aporie épistémologique de la dichotomie entre une histoire qui dissout l’événement dans l’explication et une attitude purement émotionnelle face aux événements à intensité éthique considérable. Cette narrativisation de l’événement se heurte cependant à la puissance traumatique de l’extra-textuel radical de l’événement-Shoah qui constitue ainsi un défi pour la représentation historienne du passé. C’est cette question que Ricœur reprend dans La mémoire, l’histoire, l’oubli, mais cette fois-ci cet examen a été largement reconfiguré par la dialectique de la mémoire et de l’histoire contribuant à la représentation du passé. Tout en distinguant l’incomparabilité absolue au plan moral de la Shoah et l’incomparabilité relative (c’est-à-dire la comparabilité possible) sur le plan historiographique, Ricœur maintient que l’enchevêtrement entre jugement historiographique et jugement moral est inévitable, ouvrant ainsi sur la grande question de la responsabilité sociale, politique et éthique de l’historien.
La reivindicación de la nación civilizada: masculinidad española en el discurso colonial sobre Marruecos (1900-1927)
Authors: Torres Gemma
Published: July 2017

El presente trabajo analiza cómo en el marco del discurso colonial español en Marruecos se discutía y construía la identidad nacional. Algunos sectores impulsores de la colonización reivindicaron que España era y debía ser una nación civilizada en un periodo en el que su pertenencia al mundo de la modernidad estaba en duda. Era tildada de nación decadente y semiafricana. Se estudiará cómo esta reflexión sobre la identidad nacional se vehiculó a través de los valores y las imágenes de la virilidad. Para ello, se analizarán los arquetipos masculinos españoles –y marroquíes– que se dibujaron en los discursos coloniales creados en España sobre Marruecos en el periodo de las guerras del Rif (1909-1927).
Retratos des-compuestos: cinco peculiares caricaturas del Sexenio democrático
Authors: Redondo González Blanca
Published: July 2017

Durante el Sexenio democrático fueron publicadas en los semanarios satíricos El Caos y El Lío cinco caricaturas que recuerdan, al menos formalmente, a las cabezas compuestas que pintase en el siglo XVI Giuseppe Arcimboldo. En el presente artículo se estudian las circunstancias en las que aparecieron los cinco dibujos y se comparan con las pinturas del artista del Cinquecento a través de la lectura que de las cabezas compuestas originales hiciese el filósofo Roland Barthes. El objetivo que subyace en este ejercicio de equiparación es el análisis del procedimiento y de los recursos de los que pudieron valerse los dos autores de las caricaturas.
Raimon "a la villa, 1968/1976": la voz de un pueblo y la construcción de su mensaje
Authors: Torres Blanco Roberto
Published: July 2017

Nuestra intención en este artículo es revisar un importante episodio de la historia cultural española: el concierto de Raimon –cantautor valenciano– en Madrid el 18 de mayo de 1968. Inserto en el fenómeno de la canción protesta en España, tomamos como base para el estudio la documentación archivística sobre censura discográfica y los testimonios sobre el concierto y la obra de Raimon. En última instancia, alcanzaremos la idea de una “recepción subjetiva del mensaje” por parte del público, llegando a la recreación y reconstrucción del mismo en función de una “identidad heterogénea”, fundamentada en la oposición al régimen dictatorial, aunque diversa en sus manifestaciones y objetivos particulares.
Re-Assessing the New York City Seismic Design Building Code
Authors: Benyaminov Zoya Susan , Sadiku Merins , Stueber Mishka
Published: July 2017

This paper addresses the need for reassessment and revision of the New York City Seismic Design Building Code to include reinforcing existing structures that were built before 1995. Although earthquakes in New York City are rare, the combination of its geology and pedology allow for little damping and the lack of adequate reinforcement in existing structures have the potential to amplify the consequences of otherwise small events. The NYC Building Code of 1995 requires new structures to be designed against seismic activity, but does not require the addition of seismic reinforcement for existing buildings.  In an effort to fill this gap, a case study of Brooklyn Brownstones is presented, illustrating the concern for unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings and describing the cultural and economic implications of reassessment. This case study, in combination with a literature review and commentary, supports the need for an updated seismic building code. Reassessment will not only preserve culturally significant structures like the Brooklyn Brownstone, but also provide standards for a more resilient infrastructure that will keep New York City operating through greater magnitude events.
Demineralized Dentin and Enamel Matrices as Suitable Substrates for Bone Regeneration
Authors: Bono Nina , Tarsini Paolo , Candiani Gabriele
Published: July 2017

Background

In recent decades, tooth derivatives such as dentin (D) and enamel (E) have been considered as potential graft biomaterials to treat bone defects. This study aimed to investigate the effects of demineralization on the physical-chemical and biological behavior of D and E.

Methods

Human D and E were minced into particles (Ø<1 mm), demineralized and sterilized. Thorough physical-chemical and biochemical characterizations of native and demineralized materials were performed by SEM and EDS analysis and ELISA kits to determine mineral, collagen type I and BMP-2 contents. In addition, MG63 and SAOS-2 cells were seeded on tooth-derived materials and Bio-Oss®, and a comparison of cell responses in terms of adhesion and proliferation was carried out.

Results

The sterilization process, as a combination of chemical and thermal treatments, was found to be effective for all materials. On the other hand, D demineralization allowed preserving the collagen content, while increasing BMP-2 bioavailability. D and demineralized D (dD) displayed excellent biocompatibility, even greater than Bio-Oss®. Conversely, the high mineral content displayed by E, as confirmed by EDS analysis, inhibited cell proliferation. Of note, even though the demineralization process was somehow less effective in E than in D, demineralized E (dE) displayed increased BMP-2 bioavailability and improved performance in vitro compared with native E.

Conclusions

Our results substantiate the idea that the demineralization process lead to an increase of BMP-2 bioavailability, thus paving the way toward development of more effective, osteoinductive tooth-derived materials for bone regeneration and replacement.
Looking forwards and backwards: The real-time processing of Strong and Weak Crossover
Authors: Kush Dave , Lidz Jeff , Phillips Colin
Published: July 2017

We investigated the processing of pronouns in Strong and Weak Crossover constructions as a means of probing the extent to which the incremental parser can use syntactic information to guide antecedent retrieval. In Experiment 1 we show that the parser accesses a displaced wh-phrase as an antecedent for a pronoun when no grammatical constraints prohibit binding, but the parser ignores the same wh-phrase when it stands in a Strong Crossover relation to the pronoun. These results are consistent with two possibilities. First, the parser could apply Principle C at antecedent retrieval to exclude the wh-phrase on the basis of the c-command relation between its gap and the pronoun. Alternatively, retrieval might ignore any phrases that do not occupy an Argument position. Experiment 2 distinguished between these two possibilities by testing antecedent retrieval under Weak Crossover. In Weak Crossover binding of the pronoun is ruled out by the argument condition, but not Principle C. The results of Experiment 2 indicate that antecedent retrieval accesses matching wh-phrases in Weak Crossover configurations. On the basis of these findings we conclude that the parser can make rapid use of Principle C and c-command information to constrain retrieval. We discuss how our results support a view of antecedent retrieval that integrates inferences made over unseen syntactic structure into constraints on backward-looking processes like memory retrieval.

Authors: Batista Bruna Daniela , Bruggemann Odaléa Maria , Junges Carolina Frescura , Velho Manuela Beatriz , Costa Roberta
Published: July 2017

O objetivo foi avaliar a satisfação do acompanhante com o cuidado prestado à mulher durante o trabalho de parto e nascimento e estimar fatores associados. Estudo transversal, realizado em Hospital Universitário no Sul do Brasil, foram entrevistados 369 acompanhantes de março a setembro 2015. As associações foram investigadas em análises bivariadas, razão de chance bruta e ajustada, através da regressão logística. A chance de satisfação foi maior nos acompanhantes que não presenciaram violência à mulher no trabalho de parto (RCaj 16,05; IC95% 6,35-40,52) e nascimento (RCaj 14,25; IC95% 4,81-42,20), que acompanharam trabalho de parto que culminou em parto vaginal (RCaj 2,84; IC95% 1,31-6,17), que consideraram que as vontades da mulher foram respeitadas (RCaj 8,16; IC95% 3,41-19,54) e cujas queixas foram atendidas (RCaj 3,21; IC95% 2,07-4,99). O relacionamento, atitudes e condutas dos profissionais de saúde influenciam na satisfação dos acompanhantes com o cuidado à mulher, independente das suas características sociodemográficas.
Development of an adjustable suture for trabeculectomy
Authors: Lai Yongjun , Elkaseh Husam , Campbell Robert
Published: July 2017

This study reports a new suture design that enables simple, controlled intraocular pressure (IOP) adjustments in the postoperative period after trabeculectomy surgery, a common operation used in the treatment of glaucoma. Detailed configuration of this novel suture design and the process of fabricating the new sutures are demonstrated. Ex-vivo testing with prototyped sutures has demonstrated IOP drops of over 50% following suture adjustment. The concept of using adjustable suture to realize controllable IOP drop in the post trabeculectomy treatment is proved to be feasible.

Recent developments in technology have changed the learner’s profile and the learning outcomes. Today, with the emergence of higher-order thinking skills and computer literacy skills, teaching through traditional methods is likely to fail to achieve the learning outcomes. That is why; teachers and teacher candidates are expected to have computer literacy skills. Programming is the main focus of this study since it is an important part of computer literacy. The study aims to analyze mathematics education students’ skills in the process of programming and their practices of integrating it into their teaching. The participants of the study are 42 third grade students of an Elementary Mathematics Education Program of a state university in Turkey. Within the study in which theory and practice was carried out simultaneously, the participants were taught the basics of programming and the algorithms with C programming language. The teacher candidates put the theoretical knowledge into practice using the visual programming application by MIT App Inventor at the computer laboratory. In addition, they used the MIT App Inventor visual programming environment to develop programs they will use in teaching mathematics in groups. Given the component of teaching of programming during this process, it is considered that the process of teaching in question will be effective in planning the teaching process of future studies. The reason is that not only it analyses the development of the variables used in this study but also because it takes into consideration the opinions of teacher candidates.
