EVALUATING THE EFFECT OF USING MIRRORS IN 3D RECONSTRUCTION OF SMALL ARTEFACTS
Authors: Kontogianni G. , Lindstaedt M. , Kersten T. P. , Georgopoulos A.
Published: August 2019

Abstract. Small artefacts pose many challenges to 3D documentation techniques due to their often complex details, which are very difficult to capture completely in 3D. Small objects may also have characteristics that are not optimal for 3D documentation, e.g. glossiness, shininess, textureless surfaces, etc. Furthermore, hidden parts of the artefact cause occlusions and obstructions, which may complicate the data acquisition process, since additional images or scan data are necessary in order to compensate for these restrictions. All these aspects increase acquisition and data processing times. Currently, the two main categories of 3D documentation methods are Image Based Modelling (IBM) and Range Based Modelling (RBM). In this paper, preliminary investigations aimed at evaluating the accuracy and performance of a front surface mirror in Image Based Modelling for small artefacts are presented. These results are then compared to a reference model generated from the artefact using a structured light system.

Published: August 2019

Abstract. Historical architecture is of great significance to the continuation of urban historical context, and it is an important part of cultural heritage. The general survey and identification of historical buildings is the basis and support of the protection and utilization of historical buildings. However, the existing working methods and technical means are relatively backward, it can not reflect and record the value characteristics and basic information of historical buildings truly and completely. These backward means have led to the inefficiency of the general survey and identification of historical buildings, which has also led to the fact that the results of the general survey can not be digitized and difficult to refer to. This paper analyzes the problems existing in the traditional methods of general survey and identification of historical buildings, and constructs the basic technical support of the general survey and identification of historical buildings from the aspects of general survey and identification standard system, investigation and data processing tool system, operation guidance system and so on, which is based on the technical requirements and the secondary development of GIS, taking the general survey and identification of historical buildings in Beijing as an example. It is hoped that this paper can convey our thinking and research results to our professional colleagues. In addition, we look forward to the promotion and application of this method, so as to promote the protection and management of cultural heritage towards comprehensive data.
LAMINATED WOOD AND MULTIMATERIAL WOOD – ADHESIVE MESHAS
REPLACEMENTS OF SOLID WOOD IN RESTORATION OF HISTORICAL BUILDINGS
Authors: Macedo Alquicira I. , Sotomayor Castellanos J. R. , Castro Sánchez F. J.
Published: August 2019

Abstract. Wooden structure restorationwork in historical buildings requires substitution and/or reparation of structural elements. The aim of this investigation is to compare the density, wave velocity, dynamic module, and quality factor intest pieces of solid wood, laminated wood and a multimaterial of P. pseudostrobus. The work hypothesis proposes that dynamic modules of laminated wood and multimaterial laminated wood reinforced with stainless steel mesh are, at least, equal to solid wood. Small dimension test pieces made of solid wood, laminated wood, and multimaterial wood elaborated with the species P. pseudostrobus were prepared. Humidity content and apparent density of wood were determined. Ultrasound tests in radial, tangential, and longitudinal direction were doneand wave velocity, dynamic module, and quality factor were determined. Empiric evidence indicates that wave velocity, dynamic module, and quality factors are different with the three kinds of test pieces. Laminated wood and multimaterial wood characteristics are similar to P. pseudostrobus solid wood; so that the two compound material have good expectations to substitute some pieces that work as resistance elements in wooden structures.
BUNKERS OF THE SPANISH WAR: FROM THE REARGUARD TO THE TECHNICAL
CULTURE OF THE INTER-WAR PERIOD. THE CASE OF CLOT DE GALVANY
Authors: Martínez-Medina A. , Marco Molina J. A. , Juan-Gutiérrez P. J.
Published: August 2019

Abstract. During the Spanish Civil War (1936–39) the Second Republic ordered to build, from the end of 1937, a series of military structures to protect the cities located on the Mediterranean coast from a hypothetical landing or air incursions of the national side. This set of defenses was organized in two lines: coastal and antiaircraft detachments on top of hills and bunkers on the coast. In this work we proceed to the drawing of the bunker CG-bk04.elc, located in Clot de Galvany (Elche), 8 km south of Alicante, next to Carabassí beach, whose shape and dimensions are relevant enough, and its state of repair is quite good. This bunker is part of a larger group with a total of ten bunkers (of which eight still stand) that tried to prevent the advance of the enemy. The exterior drawing has been done by photogrammetry and the interior one manually, due to the small dimensions of its spaces. This work is included in a larger plan to document all these defences that are part of our technical and material legacy, as real ruins of the first modern concrete architecture, since the original designs of these bunkers were lost at the end of the conflict and nothing remains in the Army archives about them.

Published: August 2019

Abstract. This paper discusses the graphical data flow, based on terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and photogrammetry, for the conservation and rehabilitation project of the Fortress of Juromenha, located nearby the Portuguese-Spanish border in the Alentejo Province. First, we describe the strategy of data acquisition including GPS positioning, drone imagery, ground based imagery, and TLS survey. For the data input, this study considers two types of natures: quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative means anything that can be quantified such as a measurement, an orthoimage, a point cloud or a 3D model. Qualitative means more intangible information such as a perspective on the state of conservation of a surface, a texture, or an ambience. Second, we illustrate the processing step highlighting the challenges and defining the outcomes. Next, it is detailed what kind of data was extracted to prepare the basis for the documents to be used on the conservation project. This section is complemented with the analysis on how data was shared among the project team and how it was used. Finally, it is discussed how the nature of the data and information generated influenced the consolidation design.

Published: August 2019

Abstract. The present paper illustrates the documentation activities developed since 2013 on Upper Kama territories, preliminary to an extensive and joint research action within the European project “PROMETHEUS” (2019–2021), which aims to produce digitized databases and models for the management of the main religious monuments present on this Russian area, nowadays endangered by risk of conservation. The project is funded by the EU program Horizon 2020 – R&I – RISE – Research & Innovation Staff Exchange Marie Skłodowska-Curie, and it is aimed at the definition of inter-sectoral collaboration protocols for the development and promotion of a new methodology for the development of reliable 3D databases and models of monumental complexes in Upper Kama region. The project, that involves the collaboration between three Universities (University of Pavia, Italy, Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain, Perm National Research Polytechnic University, Russia) and two enterprises (EBIME, Spain, SISMA, Italy), aims to promote actions to develop interdisciplinary activities for the documentation, management and production of collaborative H-BIM models, for the start-up of monitoring and development activities on this specific Cultural Heritage. Researches and initiatives conducted in the previous years on Upper Kama territory highlight potentialities and opportunities of digital survey to define a basis of knowledge that is both scientific and technical, for future interventions on endangered architectural heritage, where academies, companies and administrations promote actions to develop interdisciplinary documentation activities through collaborative management H-BIM models and an intervention protocol on Cultural Heritage.

Published: August 2019

Abstract. Movable heritage preserved in our museums are an invaluable evidence of our past. In order to properly respond to the need of 3D documentation of these significant assets, in the last few years both range-based and image-based solutions have been developed by researchers operating in the framework of Geomatics with a special focus on reaching a high level of detail and on texture radiometric quality, taking into consideration the intrinsic fragility of these kinds of objects which during the survey require a contactless approach. During the presented research a collection of architectural models representing ancient Nubian temples from “Museo Egizio di Torino” had been digitalized using different techniques; in particular, the wooden maquette of the temple of El-Hilla has been acquired using a new structured light handheld laser scanner, the Stonex F6 SR, and applying a close-range photogrammetric approach. In this paper a comparison between the two approaches is proposed as regards acquisition workflow, final results and suitability as regards digitisation of objects belonging to movable heritage and museum collections.
RESULTS OF HYPERSPECTRAL ANALYSIS FOR THE CHARACTERIZATION OF MUDWALL. COMPARISON BASED ON NORMALIZATION
Authors: Pozo Ledesma C. , Martínez Corrales L. F. , Sánchez Fernández M. , Aguilar Mateos P. L. , Tejado J. J.
Published: August 2019

Abstract. Currently, intervention in heritage is a task of social need. Non-destructive techniques are often used to carry out conservation and maintenance tasks. In the present. In this work we study the necessary calibration mode of a hyperspectral camera used in the characterization of the material to be conserved or to intervene. This camera is used to characterize the material according to its reflectance in different wavelengths. The result obtained is expressed as a function of the light condition at the time of the measurement. One of the most important phases of this technique is to normalize the values obtained in each take. This is conditioned by the intensity of light: the bigger it is, the bigger was reflectance value of a material at a given wavelength. This factor is corrected from patterns that are introduced in the scene. These patterns are elements whose reflectance values are known in the bands of the spectrum that the camera used registers. Likewise, they must reflect or absorb the maximum light (black and white reference, respectively) in order to delimit the maximum and minimum reflectance of each scene. These references will allow two scenes taken in different light conditions to be comparable. Therefore, the influence of black and white references on the scene is studied from the use of materials of different nature.

Abstract. Wall paintings are a unique case of decorated surfaces because of its direct relation to the supporting structure. This paper points out the importance of considering the conservation of wall paintings from its fourth-dimensionality–surface (2D), depth (3D), and time (4D) – and taking into account three different scales–surface, building, and territory. The relationship between these three scales becomes significant with a case study of three temples: Loka-hteik-pan, Myin-pya-gu, and Kubyauk-nge, in the context of Old Bagan (Myanmar), where more than 2,500 temples with valuable wall paintings exist. To that end, firstly, different documentation techniques and management methods are reviewed for each of the scales proposed; secondly, a multi-scale documentation project, mostly unexplored within the context of wall paintings, is developed using BIM and GIS. Ultimately, the case study in Old Bagan proposes a comprehensive methodology to document and manage wall paintings that belong to a large group of heritage assets considering its four-dimensionality at multiple scales, addressing the interoperability at a basic level between: (1) surface and building, (2) building and territory, and (3) surface and territory. The objective is to create data exchange among different platforms and users, generating a collaborative instrument that evolves with the participation of different specialists.

Is Technology Paving the Way for Autonomous Learning?
Authors: Esfandiari Mehran , Gawhary Mir Wais
Published: August 2019

The shift towards communicative, learner-centered approaches to teaching has resulted in attention being drawn to promoting autonomy as a capacity for independent learning. Taking responsibility for their own learning enables students to break down barriers to learning that appear in teacher-directed environments. With independence and interdependence as its two interrelated aspects, autonomy has its roots in interaction with others in social contexts, and it is now looked upon as being certain abilities that facilitate the navigation of learning through higher degrees of motivation, creative thinking, and conceptual learning. Thanks to technology, language learners easily access authentic materials for out-of-class learning. However, this paper aims to argue that where promoting autonomous learning is concerned, it cannot be enough per se; proper guidance is crucial, and the interrelation between pedagogy and technology has to be explored so that enough attention is paid to the affordances of certain technological tools to enable language learners to become more autonomous.

Published: August 2019

Objective: To develop healthier comminuted meat products to meet consumer demand, the gel properties, rheological properties, microstructure and water distribution of pork meat batters formulated with various amounts of bamboo shoot dietary fiber (BSDF) were investigated.Methods: Different levels of BSDF (0% to 4%) were added to pork batters, and the pH, color, water-holding capacity, texture and rheological properties of pork batters were determined. Then, pork batters were analyzed for their microstructure and water distribution using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR).Results: Compared with the control, BSDF addition into meat batters showed a significant reduction in L*-value and a significant increase in b*-value (p<0.05). BSDF addition of up to 4% reduced the pH value of pork batters by approximately 0.15 units; however, the cooking loss and expressible water loss decreased significantly (p<0.05) with the increased addition of BSDF. The hardness and gel strength were noticeably enhanced (p<0.05) as the content of BSDF increased. The rheological results showed that BSDF added into pork batters produced higher storage modulus (G′) and loss modulus (G″) values. The SEM images suggested that the addition of BSDF could promote pork batters to form a more uniform and compact microstructure. The proportion of immobilized water increased significantly (p<0.05), while the population of free water was decreased (p<0.05), indicating that BSDF improved the water-holding capability of pork batters by decreasing the fraction of free water.Conclusion: BSDF could improve the gel properties, rheological properties and water distribution of pork meat batters and decrease the proportion of free water, suggesting that BSDF has great potential as an effective binder in comminuted meat products.

Published: August 2019

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of compound organic acid calcium (COAC) on growth performance, hepatic antioxidant status and intestinal barrier of male broilers under high ambient temperature (32.7°C).Methods: Nine hundred healthy one-d-old Cobb-500 male broiler chicks were randomly assigned into three groups with six replicates of 50 birds each. A basal diet supplemented with 0% (control), 0.4% and 0.8% COAC, respectively were fed to birds for 6 weeks. All treatments were under high ambient indoor temperature of 32.7°C, and had a constant calcium and available phosphorus ratio.Results: The results showed that, compared with control, the average daily gain of broilers in 0.4% and 0.8% was significantly increased and the ratio of feed to gain in in 0.4% and 0.8% was significantly decreased at 1 to 21, 22 to 42 and 1 to 42 days of age (p<0.05). Compared with control, 0.8% COAC slightly decreased (p = 0.093) the content of malondialdehyde in liver at 42 days of age while 0.4% COAC significantly decreased (p<0.05) the activity of alkaline phosphatase. Furthermore, 0.4% COAC significantly enhanced the intestinal barrier function via increasing jejunal and ileal ocln transcription, promoting jejunal mucin 2 transcription at 42 days of age (p<0.05), and decreasing jejunal toll-like receptor 2 (TLR-2) and ileal TLR-15, inducible nitric oxide synthase compared with control group (p<0.05). Whereas, no significant differences on the transcription of interleukin-1β in jejunum and ileum were observed among three treatments (p>0.05). Overall, heat stress caused by high natural environment temperature may induce the damage to hepatic antioxidation and intestinal barrier.Conclusion: Dietary inclusion of COAC can improve the tolerance of broilers to thermal environment through the modification of antioxidative parameters in liver and the mRNA expression of genes in intestinal barrier, resulting in an optimal inclusion level of 0.4%.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical-nutritional parameters, oxidative stability and volatile profile of eggs and cakes made with eggs from laying hens fed with a dietary supplementation of extruded linseed.Methods: Two thousand ISA Warren laying hens were randomly divided into two groups: a control group was fed with a standard diet while the experimental group received the same diet supplemented with 7% of extruded linseed. The trial lasted 84 days, in which three samplings of laid eggs were performed. Samples of eggs and food systems arising from eggs were then analyzed in order to obtain information about β-carotene and total flavonoid content, antioxidant activity, fatty acid profile, lipid oxidation, and volatile profile.Results: Linseed induced the increase of α-linolenic acid with consequent reduction of the ω-6/ω-3 ratio (4.3:1 in egg yolk); in addition to this, was evidenced the cholesterol reduction and the significant increase in total flavonoids and β-carotene, although no variations were detected in antioxidant capacity. Even in cooked products there was not only a direct effect of linseed in increasing α-linolenic acid, but also in inducing the reduction of cholesterol and its major oxidation product, 7-ketocholesterol. The dietary linseed integration was also shown to affect the volatile profile of baked products.Conclusion: Data confirmed that dietary supplementation with extruded linseed resulted in food products with interesting implications for human health. With regard to the volatile profile of baked products it would be necessary undertake further sensorial analysis in order to evaluate any variations on flavor and consumer acceptability.

Authors: Kim Do-Gyun , Shim Joon-Yong , Cho Byoung-Kwan , Wakholi Collins , Seo Youngwook , Cho Soohyun , Lee Wang-Hee
Published: August 2019

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify a distribution pattern of meat quality grade (MQG) as a function of carcass yield index (CYI) and the gender of Hanwoo (bull, cow, and steer) to determine the optimum point between both yield and quality. We also attempted to identify how pre- and post-deboning variables affect the gender-specific beef quality of Hanwoo.Methods: A total of 31 deboning variables, consisting of 7 pre-deboning and 24 post-deboning variables from bulls (n = 139), cows (n = 69), and steers (n = 153), were obtained from the National Institute of Animal Science (NIAS) in South Korea. The database was reconstructed to be suitable for a statistical significance test between the CYI and the MQG as well as classification of meat quality. Discriminant function analysis was used for classifying MQG using the deboning parameters of Hanwoo by gender.Results: The means of CYI according to 1+, 1, 2, and 3 of MQG were 68.64±2.02, 68.85±1.94, 68.62±5.88, and 70.99±3.32, respectively. High carcass yield correlated with low-quality grade, while high-quality meat most frequently was obtained from steers. The classification ability of pre-deboning parameters was higher than that of post-deboning parameters. Moisture and the shear force were the common significant parameters in all discriminant functions having a classification accuracy of 80.6%, 71%, and 56.9% for the bull, cow, and steer, respectively.Conclusion: This study provides basic information for predicting the meat quality by gender using pre-deboning variables consistent with the actual grading index.
Cloudy with a Chance of Taxation
Authors: Azam Rifat , Mazur Orly
Published: August 2019

The growth of the digital economy, and, in particular, cloud computing, has put a significant strain on sales taxation and other consumption tax systems. The borderless, anonymous, and digital nature of cloud computing raises questions about the paradigm used to determine the character of the transaction and the location where consumption, and therefore, taxation occurs. From a U.S. perspective, the effective resolution of these issues continues to grow in importance in light of the recent Supreme Court decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair and the growing number of U.S. businesses transacting overseas in jurisdictions that impose value-addedtaxes (VATs).The cloud magnifies difficulties with VAT compliance and enforcement, as businesses increasingly are subject to VAT laws in multiple jurisdictions. Tax authorities therefore have to collect from remote vendors who have numerous opportunities for VAT avoidance and evasion. The outcome of these challenges is unfair competition, a burden on international trade, and a huge gap in VAT revenues.In this important Article, we closely analyze these cutting-edge challenges and contribute to the debate on how to tax the digital economy. We argue that while the approaches taken by both the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, of which the United States is a member, and the European Union introduce some noteworthy improvements to the current system, more substantial measures are necessary. Thus, we propose a range of fundamental changes that include improving the existing registration-based VAT system through the enhanced use of new technologies, replacing the current system with a blockchain real-time basis VAT system, and shifting the VAT collection burden from suppliers to payment intermediaries. As the digital transformation of the economy accelerates, each of these changes will help adapt consumption taxation to the modern realities of our digital era.

Ni vencedores ni vencidos. Zonas grises y resistencia(s) en ámbito de la cultura literaria durante el Primer Franquismo = Neither Winners nor Losers. Gray Areas and Resistance(s) in the Field of Literary Culture during the First Francoism
Authors: De Lima Grecco Gabriela
Published: August 2019

El surgimiento de una reciente literatura sobre actitudes sociales refleja una nueva sensibilidad por parte de los investigadores e investigadoras sobre los múltiples vectores de actividad de resistencia que siempre existen en cualquier sociedad. Este artículo tiene como objetivo desarrollar el concepto de resistencia y complejizar su uso a través de algunas categorías como «resistencia endógena» y «exógena». Para llevar a cabo este estudio, se pretende analizar las actitudes sociales de la gente corriente en ámbito de la producción y de consumo de textos. Las actitudes sociales de los españoles durante la postguerra revelan las complejas relaciones construidas a lo largo del primer franquismo en ámbito cultural y literario. Así, las interacciones entre los ciudadanos y el régimen fueron variables y ambiguas, y las referencias a las parejas antitéticas entre víctimas y verdugos deben ser matizadas. A través del examen de las políticas del libro, se busca señalar las actitudes de la gente corriente, cuyas prácticas cotidianas de indisciplina se mostraron a menudo una barrera para el desarrollo del proyecto cultural de la dictadura.AbstractThe emergence of a recent literature on social attitudes reflects a new sensitivity on the part of researchers on the multiple vectors of resistance activity that always exist in any society. The aim of this article is to develop the concept of resistance and to make its use more complex through some categories, such as «endogenous resistance» and «exogenous resistance». To carry out this study, it is intended to analyze the social attitudes of ordinary people in the field of production and consumption of texts. The social attitudes of Spaniards during the postwar period reveal the complex relationships built up during the first Franco period in the cultural and literary fields. Thus, the interactions between citizens and the regime were variable and ambiguous, and antithesis references, such as victims and executioners, must be questioned. Through the examination of the book’s policies, this article aims to point out the attitudes of ordinary people, whose daily practices of indiscipline were often a barrier to the development of the cultural project of the dictatorship.
Frente a nuevos tipos de «absolutismos». Lecturas sobre los autoritarismos europeos de entreguerras desde la mirada de juristas argentinos (1920-1940) = In Face of New Types of «Absolutisms». Readings on European Authoritarianisms from Argentine Lawyers (1920s-1940s)

Este artículo tiene por objeto reflexionar acerca de las lecturas que juristas argentinos realizaron sobre la emergencia de instituciones políticas en algunos europeos en el contexto de entreguerras. El cuerpo de profesores y académicos aquí trabajados alternaron sus clases en la universidad con intervenciones intelectuales más amplias, mediante artículos y libros académicos de circulación especializada.Mediante un corpus de fuentes poco exploradas, como las revistas de la Facultad de Derecho y Ciencias Sociales de la Universidad de Buenos Aires y de la Universidad de La Plata, y del Boletín de la Biblioteca del Congreso, el artículo pretende primero demarcar cierta agenda de producción académica que estos juristas desarrollaron en el período 1920-1940, y luego, dilucidar cómo estas intervenciones sobre el contexto europeo fueron clave para desarrollar nuevos vocabularios y modelar conceptos nuevos. En la ponderación de un enfoque jurídico-científico, estos profesores y juristas complejizaron los lenguajes jurídico-políticos sobre los fenómenos que estaban percibiendo.AbstractThis article aims to reflect on readings that Argentine lawyers made about the emergence of political institutions in some Interwar Europeans countries. The body of professors and scholars analyzed in this article delivered classes in the Law School of the University of Buenos Aires, in the National University of La Plata and in the National University of Córdoba. Through an unexplored corpus of sources, such as the Journal of the University of Buenos Aires’ School of Law, the Annals of the University of La Plata’ School of Legal and Social Sciences and the Bulletin of the Library of Congress, the article intends to describe the existence of an academic agenda that these scholars developed during 1920 and 1940, and then, to elucidate how these intellectual interventions on the European context sought to be read with a local perspective. In the formation and translation of a scientific and legal approach, these professors assessed the necessity to adapt these new European mechanisms to the local reality and to form more complex vocabularies and concepts about the phenomena they were perceiving.

Authors: Martín Gutiérrez Sara
Published: August 2019

Este artículo analiza el papel del Sindicato de Costureras de Buenos Aires, ideado por la Acción Católica Argentina (ACA), en un periodo que abarca desde sus orígenes hasta la llegada del primer peronismo. A través de un ejercicio de historia social con perspectiva de género se presentan las estrategias de la Asociación de Mujeres de la Acción Católica (AMAC) en los ambientes laborales, y también el proselitismo que desarrollaron las católicas con las trabajadoras de la industria textil durante este periodo. En esta investigación se muestran los arquetipos de género y el ideal de feminidad de la cultura católica en Argentina, que atravesaban la pertenencia social de las católicas y de las costureras. Finalmente, se realiza una aproximación a la campaña por la defensa de la Ley de Trabajo a Domicilio que enarboló la ACA, concluyendo cómo los discursos proteccionistas se encontraron en perfecta consonancia con las representaciones de género del peronismo y del catolicismo social.AbstractThis paper analyses the role of the Seamstresses Trade Union from Buenos Aires, conceived by the Argentinian Catholic Action (ACA) between its origins and the arrival of First Peronism. Through Social History and Gender Studies this article is focused on Female Catholic Action strategies over the working environments. Also, it researches the proselytism that Catholic women did against women workers from the textile industry among this period. Furthermore, the article presents gender archetypes and femininity ideal from the Catholic culture in Argentina, which outperform the social class of Catholics leaders and the seamstresses. Finally, this paper shows an approach to the campaign in defence of the «Ley de Trabajo a Domicilio», led by the ACA. Conclusions shows that these speeches where in perfect accordance with Peronism and Social Catholicism gender representations.

El 26 de mayo de 2019 se celebraron las elecciones europeas de 2019.Tras un tumultuoso lustro, debido a varios intentos de ruptura como el Grexit o el Brexit, al auge de numerosos movimientos eurófobos o euroescépticos, y a pesar de las encuestas, estos partidos no han conseguido romper la barrera del 33% de escaños del Parlamento Europeo, cifra que les habría permitido activar numerosos cambios estructurales en la UE.Por otro lado, aún de forma modesta, han entrado en la Eurocámara nuevos movimientos políticos pan-europeos, que buscan contrarrestar la amenaza de una descomposición de la UE. Junto a los partidos clásicos, hijos del bipartidismo histórico, como el Partido Popular Europeo o el Partido Socialista Europeo, y al auge de liberales y verdes, las posiciones más moderadas, refuerzan el espíritu de la Unión. La novedad son los partidos pan-europeos como Volt Europe o Diem25.Abstract Between may the 23rd and the 26th, the 2019 European Elections were held in the EU. After a tumultuous five-year period, due to several rupture attempts such as Grexit or Brexit, and the rise of numerous Europhobic or Eurosceptic parties, these movements have failed to break the barrier 33% of seats in the European Parliament, which would have enabled them to trigger numerous structural changes in the EU.At the same time, pan-European political movements like Volt Europe or Diem25, even modestly, entered at the Europarliament, which seek, together with the classical parties, to counteract the threat of a breakdown of the European Union.What influence do social networks have on the coordination and dissemination of their political messages? Taking those examples, we will compare the online effect of new political parties, analyzing a series of data obtained from the social network Twitter, to weigh its relevance and political influence.Could it be that European Union is in better shape that we thought and that voters are more moderate of what mass media and politics say? ¿Son Volt Europa y Diem25 un ejemplo de pan-europeísmo en contraposición a un nuevo concepto de neo-soberanismo que recorre Europa como el Brexit Party, la Lega o Fidesz, y que en España podría identificarse con los partidos independentistas catalanes (ERC, Lliures por Europa, CUP), Podemos y Vox?¿Qué características tienen estos movimientos y cómo se relacionan?¿Qué influencia tienen las redes sociales en la coordinación y difusión de sus mensajes políticos?¿Podría ser que, a pesar de catastrofismos agoreros, la Unión Europea esté demostrando más fortaleza de la preconizada?

La revolucion de octubre de 1934 en el Andévalo onubense = The Revolution of October 1934 in the Andévalo Onubense
Authors: Raposo Gutiérrez Noemí
Published: August 2019

La revolución de octubre de 1934 fue uno de los acontecimientos de gran importancia en España durante la Segunda República. Con este trabajo se ha pretendido estudiar la revolución del octubre de 1934 en uno de los focos mineros más significativos de España como es el Andévalo onubense. Asimismo, se ha analizado la posterior represión que sufrió la población de esta comarca. Represión que tuvo un carácter tanto física, con un gran número de detenciones y algunas muertes, como política con los “desmoches” llevados a cabo en los distintos ayuntamientos.AbstractThe revolution of October 1934 was one of the most significant events in Spain during the Second Republic. In this paper it is presented a study of the revolution in the Andévalo, an important mining field in the province of Huelva (Southern Spain). It was examined the subsequent repression that the population who had taken part in the insurrection suffered. The repression was marked by a large number of deaths and detentions. As an additional severe consequence, lots of mayors, councilors and many others chairpersons of the province were struck off their positions, a process that is known as «desmoche» in Spanish historiography.
Integrating the Principles and Practice of Scholarly Activity Into Undergraduate Medical Education: A Narrative Review and Proposed Model for Implementation

Published: August 2019

The osteopathic undergraduate medical education standards have evolved over the past 2 decades to require undergraduate medical student participation in research and scholarly activity. The authors’ objective was to review those evolving standards and develop a model for introducing the principles and practice of research that combines core content with experiential learning. They identified fundamental topics pertinent to the research process and herein provide their recommendations for incorporating these topics into the curriculum as self-study, online modules, and team-based and active learning exercises. The authors’ proposed educational model would provide an avenue for osteopathic medical schools to meet the requirements for scholarly activity. Increasing students' and residents' knowledge of the research process will lay the foundation for their engagement is research and scholarly activity and their practice of evidence-based medicine.
Interprofessional Education: Collaboration and Learning in Action

Interprofessional education (IPE) is necessary to ensure that future health care professionals are prepared to provide holistic, patient-centered prevention programs, assessments, diagnoses, treatment plans, and chronic illness management in a collaborative manner. Accrediting bodies such as the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation and the American Psychological Association newly require programs to implement instruction and evaluate IPE core competency development in each year of their programs. The IPE core team at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine has designed, implemented, and tested an IPE core course over the past 2 years that includes students in osteopathic medicine, clinical psychology, mental health counseling, and physician assistant programs. Throughout this process, the IPE core team has identified strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges. Cultural considerations, institutional resources, pedagogy for large interdisciplinary groups at different stages of training, and technology and assessment tools for student and course evaluation are all critical considerations.
Steady state particle swarm

Published: August 2019

This paper investigates the performance and scalability of a new update strategy for the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The strategy is inspired by the Bak–Sneppen model of co-evolution between interacting species, which is basically a network of fitness values (representing species) that change over time according to a simple rule: the least fit species and its neighbors are iteratively replaced with random values. Following these guidelines, a steady state and dynamic update strategy for PSO algorithms is proposed: only the least fit particle and its neighbors are updated and evaluated in each time-step; the remaining particles maintain the same position and fitness, unless they meet the update criterion. The steady state PSO was tested on a set of unimodal, multimodal, noisy and rotated benchmark functions, significantly improving the quality of results and convergence speed of the standard PSOs and more sophisticated PSOs with dynamic parameters and neighborhood. A sensitivity analysis of the parameters confirms the performance enhancement with different parameter settings and scalability tests show that the algorithm behavior is consistent throughout a substantial range of solution vector dimensions.
Profiling the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA network to reveal potential crosstalk between inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer

Background

Because of the increasing dysplasia rate in the lifelong course of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, it is imperative to characterize the crosstalk between IBD and colorectal cancer (CRC). However, there have been no reports revealing the occurrence of the ceRNA network in IBD-related CRC.

Methods

In this study, we conducted gene expression profile studies of databases and performed an integrated analysis to detect the potential of lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA in regulating disease transformation. R packages were used to screen differentially expressed mRNA, lncRNA and miRNA among CRC, IBD and normal tissue. The lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network was constructed based on predicted miRNA-targeted lncRNAs and miRNA-targeted mRNAs. Functional analyses were then conducted to identify genes involved in the ceRNA network, and key lncRNAs were evaluated based on several clinical outcomes.

Results

A total of three lncRNAs, 15 miRNAs, and 138 mRNAs were identified as potential mediators in the pathophysiological processes of IBD-related CRC. Gene Ontology annotation enrichment analysis confirmed that the dysplasia process was strongly associated with immune response, response to lipopolysaccharide, and inflammatory response. Survival analysis showed that LINC01106 (HR = 1.7; p < 0.05) were strongly associated with overall survival of colorectal cancer patients. The current study identified a series of IBD-related mRNAs, miRNA, and lncRNAs, and highlighted the important role of ceRNAs in the pathogenesis of IBD-related CRC. Among them, the LINC01106-miRNA-mRNA axis was identified as vital targets for further research.
