INFLUENCE OF CHEMICAL POLYMER ADDITIVE ON THE PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE CONCRETE
Authors: Wasiu John , Baba Daoud Mohammad
Published: May 2020

This research investigated the effect of Renolith chemical polymer additive (RCPA) on the properties of expanded polystyrene (ESP) concrete. Renolith chemical additive is a polymer-based product in a liquid form made up of latex and cellulose. Polystyrene panels were collected as a waste materials and grinded into smaller beads. An experimental investigation was carried out on the EPS replacement ranging from 0% to 100% on the M30 (C25/C30) mix design. Engineering properties, such as workability, density, water absorption, compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength tests, were studied for both the conventional and EPS concrete. The results indicate that workability increases with increasing amount of EPS contents. Water absorption, compressive, tensile, and flexural strength yielded a satisfactory result at 0-50% replacement. The density of the EPS concrete at 0-37.5% replacement revealed similar values to a conventional concrete; and light-weight concrete (1817.5 - 1030 kg⁄m3) was achieved at a 50-100% replacement. Generally, the addition of the RCPA to the concrete mix has caused an improvement in the properties of the EPS concrete. It was concluded that EPS beads can be used as a partial replacement for coarse aggregates in the production of both structural light-weight and dense concrete. The replacement of coarse aggregate with EPS beads showed a positive application as an alternative material for the construction industry.
The “Condition D’immigrés” in Fatou Diome’s the Belly of the Atlantic and the Aesthetics of Migration in the Francophone African Literary Tradition
Authors: Foster Christopher Ian
Published: May 2020

Through an analysis of Fatou Diome’s 2010 novel The Belly of the Atlantic, this chapter rethinks Jacques Chevrier’s definition of migritude, which he describes as a recent cohort of African writers in France who narrate existence between Africa and France and for whom immigration and exile are central themes. The chapter argues more narrowly that migritude writers disclose what Diome terms the “condition d’immigres”; that is, they image the conditions and structures of immigration as a national and international network of systems expropriating the means of movement from formerly colonized peoples and that these systems have a colonial past. In addition, it unpacks Diome’s conversations with the Négritude tradition, noting that, at the same time she borrows from her authors, she refashions aspects of Négritude in terms of migration. She reappropriates, for example, Léopold Sédar Senghor’s black humanism, and mobilizes it into her global twenty-first century as a migrant humanism challenging immigration under neoliberal globalization.
“A Matter Of Timing”
Authors: Foster Christopher Ian
Published: May 2020

In 2013 Diriye Osman wrote Fairytales for Lost Children, a striking collection of short stories that follow queer Somali immigrants in Kenya and Britain. This chapter shows how Osman’s creates a radically queer migritude text through his complex philosophy of temporality, home, and freedom. It also examines instances of queer liberalism and liberal (in)tolerance of queerness in Somali writer Nurrudin Farah’s Hiding in Plain Sight (2014). Building on Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Robert Reid-Pharr, and David Eng, this chapter argues that neoliberal globalization, nationalism, and the ways in which these forces necessarily manage or police movement cannot be disentangled from heteronationalist discourses and laws circumscribing sexuality, and that queer liberalism and liberal toleration of queerness both practice and promote intolerance.
On the Imperial Origins of Immigration in Nadifa Mohamed’s Black Mamba Boy and Claude Mckay’s Banjo
Authors: Foster Christopher Ian
Published: May 2020

This chapter assesses the imperial origins of immigration. Chapter 6 studies Nadifa Mohamed’s 2010 novel Black Mamba Boy as a refashioning of Claude McKay’s novel Banjo. The chapter reads Mohamed’s novel as a migritude text and demonstrates the ways in which it reshapes Banjo’s migrant pan-Africanism into a narrative that negotiates colonial structures from the perspective of Somali migration. Jama’s diasporic nomadism, for example, circulates through, and is impinged upon by, both British and Italian colonial institutions and modes of managing movement. Furthermore, he is literally conscripted by the Italian army—a fate not uncommon for Somalis. Beyond the colonial setting of Black Mamba Boy, Mohamed, also speaks to our twenty-first century and the ways in which immigrants from the Global South are haunted, even conscripted, by colonial structures of immigration in the present.
Remembering Dixie
Authors: Falck Susan T.
Published: May 2020

Nearly seventy years after the Civil War, Natchez, Mississippi, sold itself to Depression-era tourists as a place “Where the Old South Still Lives.” Tourists flocked to view the town’s decaying antebellum mansions, hoop-skirted hostesses, and a pageant saturated in sentimental Lost Cause imagery. Organized by the town’s female garden club, the Pilgrimage created a popular culture experience that appealed to 1930s tourists. This book traces how the selective white historical memories of a small southern community originated from the hardships of the Civil War, changed over time, and culminated in a successful heritage tourism enterprise still in business today. Simultaneously, this study examines the ways in which Natchez African Americans contested this selective narrative to create a short lived but distinctive post-emancipation identity. This book demonstrates that southern memory making was never monolithic or static but was continuously shaped and reshaped by the unique dynamics of a community’s class, gender, racial, and social complexities. In the course of revealing how historical memory evolved in Natchez, this book contributes new insights on the periodization of Lost Cause ideology and the gendering of historical memory. Covering the period from the tumultuous early post-Civil War years through the economic hardships of the Great Depression, Remembering Dixie reveals that historical memory is often a contested process. Perhaps most importantly, this study helps to reclaim some of the earliest post-emancipation black memories that were nearly erased when white males reclaimed political power in the late 1870s.
Natchez Pilgrimages
Authors: Falck Susan T.
Published: May 2020

The introduction provides historical background on Natchez, Mississippi, and the town’s most famous heritage tourism product, the Natchez Pilgrimage, founded in the early 1930s. Similar to earlier expressions of historical memory in Natchez, the Pilgrimage home tours and pageants represented the romanticized values of the Old South and its Lost Cause. The town’s public and private historical memory following the Civil War through the Great Depression in the form of letters, emancipation parades, associations, militia groups, photography and other popular amusements are discussed. The history of the town in the aftermath of the Civil War and its impact on the formerly enslaved, the white planter class, elite free blacks, and social conditions following the war through the Great Depression are noted. The idea that historical memories are constantly in flux and frequently contested is discussed.
Memory Making on Parade
Authors: Falck Susan T.
Published: May 2020

This chapter clarifies that black communities experienced emancipation traditions in different ways. Given the large proportion of blacks in Natchez, and the region’s well-established free black community, it seemed probable that Natchez would experience a robust emancipation tradition. That was not the case. The grand 1867 Fourth of July parade in Natchez organized by the Union League drew a large crowd of African Americans, suggesting the beginnings of a bold emancipation tradition. Instead, public emancipation celebrations dwindled. By the time of the 1871 Decoration Day observance, leaders stressed reconciliation and a tribute to Confederate as well as Union soldiers, a far different message heard only four years earlier. The erosion of a black emancipation tradition resulted from the unusually close ties that existed between Natchez free blacks and white elites, and the fear among free blacks that it was in their best political interests to suppress such traditions.
The Battle of the Hoopskirts
Authors: Falck Susan T.
Published: May 2020

This chapter details the courtroom battle that erupted in 1941 between the Natchez Garden Club and Pilgrimage Garden Club, dubbed by the media as “The Battle of the Hoopskirts.” The dispute began when the rival clubs clashed over overlapping home tour schedules. But much more was at stake than a heated court hearing to determine tour dates. The clubwomen of Natchez were battling for the control and spoils of their town’s cultural image. The issue was not so much a differing definition of the past as much as a conflict over who would control the presentation of that past and the marked differences in lifestyles and ideals that polarized the warring factions. The opposing clubs agreed on the end product—a highly romanticized, whitewashed image of the Old South mirrored by popular culture of the era but differed on the management of that past as a marketable commodity.
Anonymous Authors

This chapter continues to reveal Misty’s hidden history. It explains the weekly process of putting the comic together, giving detailed information on its editorial team, its script fees and practices, and identifying a number of the Misty writers and creators, including Pat Mills, Wilf Prigmore, and editor Malcolm Shaw. Identifying and interviewing these creators is significant as the stories were uncredited and many have never spoken publically about their work. The chapter also reflects on Misty’s framing and marketing as a ‘mystery paper’ rather than ‘horror comic’, and responds to gendered claims about its creators and contributors.It also includes the previously unseen script for “The Banana King,” a Pat Mills story that would become “Red Knee–White Terror!” (Misty #1, with art by John Richardson), and analyzes this alongside the published version to demonstrate how the Misty tales were shaped around mystery and terror rather than outright horror.
Gothic for Girls
Authors: Round Julia
Published: May 2020

This chapter uses the previous analyses to construct the conventions of the ‘Gothic for Girls’ subgenre and reflect on its development and position within children’s literature. It surveys existing work on childhood and Gothic, with a particular focus on the fairy tale and the cautionary tale as subgenres of children’s literature. It argues that Misty combines Female Gothic tropes with fairy tale markers to create stories that bring together adult and child concerns. The chapter concludes by relating Misty to some contemporary dark fairy tales and offering a working definition of Gothic for Girls. Elements include an isolated or trapped female protagonist in an abstracted world that juxtaposes the mundane and supernatural, a narrative awakening to magical potential that is often driven by fear and particularly terror, the use of feminine symbols and fairy tale sins as catalysts, and the weight placed on personal responsibility and self-control or self-acceptance.
Leaving these Misty Isles
Authors: Round Julia
Published: May 2020

This chapter considers the comic’s demise and Misty’s dwindling appearances in Tammy, looking closely at the material produced after Misty’soriginal run ended and the memories of its readers. It discusses the possible reasons for the comic’s termination and looks more closely at the process of merging Misty into Tammy, demonstrating how Misty’s rolewas significantly altered and weakened. It identifies some of Misty’s international appearances in countries such as France, Sweden, Germany and Canada, and analyzes these reprints. It closely examines the material included in the British annuals and reprints during the 1980s, and summarizes the millennial re-emergence of Misty in fan websites, fanzines and other tribute publications, and reprinted and new material from Egmont and Rebellion.
On the Blackness of Post-Blackness
Authors: Leader-Picone Cameron
Published: May 2020

This chapter argues that Colson Whitehead’s novel Sag Harbormirrors post-Black art’s emphasis on simultaneously rejecting and embracing the racial categorization of African American art. In doing so, Whitehead’s novel represents a qualified liberation for African American artists that optimistically imagines a freedom from racial categorizations that is still rooted in them. This chapter analyzes Whitehead’s novel in the context of the competing definitions of post-Blackness offered by Touré in Who’s Afraid of Post-Blackness? as well as in the original formulation by Thelma Golden. Employing a framework of “racial individualism,” the chapter argues that a loosening sense of linked fate has led to the privileging of individual agency over Black identity. In doing so, post-Blackness serves to discursively liberate African American artists from any prescriptive ideal of what constitutes black art without implying either a desire or intent to not address issues of race.
A Non-American Black Guide to American Blackness
Authors: Leader-Picone Cameron
Published: May 2020

This chapter’s focus on Black immigrant authors addresses the tension between the continued racialization of American culture and shifting demographics that undermine the applicability of previous definitions of Blackness. Novels such as Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah make explicit the connection between the prominence of such immigration and the rise of a figure such as Barack Obama. As Adichie’s novel makes clear, Obama’s background—the son of an African student and a white mother—underlines the shifting definitions of racial identity in twenty-first century America. While her protagonist’s presence in the United States is testament to the symbolic resonance that America still holds as a land of opportunity, her ultimate disillusionment with the United States, and the role that race plays in her return to Nigeria, underscores the incompleteness of the project of racial progress. The chapter engages with Afropolitanism as a post era discourse related to the African immigrant experience.
“The Treatment for Stirrings”: Dystopian Literature for Adolescents

Published: May 2020

Chapter 3 gives a history of the utopian/dystopian genre of works over time. This chapter also gives a sampling of theoretical approaches that have been used to study these texts. It specifically shows how the theoretical lens provided in chapter one regarding surveillance, power, subjectivity, and ideology, can be applied to these texts, and give specific examples via close readings of dystopian works intended for young adults.
Black Cuban Literati in the Age of Revolution
Authors: Pettway Matthew
Published: May 2020

This chapter discusses Plácido and Manzano’s involvement in the 1844 antislavery movement and it refutes the notion that Manzano was an apolitical author.With few exceptions, critics have claimed that Manzano was bereft of a political project and argued that Plácido’s liberal discourse had no relationship to his racial politics.The final chapter disproves both of these theses.It analyzes the government narrative of black conspiracy and white victimhood side by side with a close reading of Plácido and Manzano’s letters and depositions.Government accounts of uprising legitimize power by deliberately creating silences, speaking in code, and otherwise dissembling the truth.Thus, this chapter deconstructs the official government narrative and Manzano and Plácido’s joint interrogation.It highlights the way that Manzano and Plácido developed different strategies to distance themselves from the 1844 antislavery movement, the notion of anti-white conspiracy, and even from each other.
Introduction
Authors: Fraser Benjamin
Published: May 2020

This introduction outlines the urban cultural studies method of the book and provides the theoretical and scholarly context for readers. It argues that comics are an inherently urban and global phenomenon. It also addresses geographical areas not included in the chapters of the book, including for example comics from Africa, before summarizing the chapters that follow.
The Passions of Everyday Urban Life
Authors: Fraser Benjamin
Published: May 2020

This chapter continues to explore the comics depiction of life on the modern city streets. Discussion concentrates on the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and is carried out through the lens of the human passions. First, the wordless novels by Belgian artist Frans Masereel serve as yet another paradigmatic example of the urban legacy of early comics. Will Eisner’s trilogy uses tenement life as a stage for the Jewish American urban experience of New York. My New York Diary (1993-98) by Julie Doucet blends the artist’s feminist commitment with themes of urban alienation and entrapment. In twenty-first-century Madrid, Spain, Raquel Córcoles Moncusí a.k.a. ‘Moderna de pueblo’ and Rafael Martínez Castellanos explore romantic and sexual passions as they line up with the social identities of women and gay urbanites. Finally, contemporary artist Daishu Ma’s Leaf returns to hallmark aspects of Frans Masereel’s style nearly one-hundred years later.
Posthuman Folklore
Authors: Thompson Tok
Published: May 2020

Posthuman Folklore explores how our human condition is increasingly thought of, and performed, in posthuman terms. Insights from animal studies have triggered the “animal turn” in scholarship, while the increasing digitization of human culture and the newly emerging roles of androids and artificial intelligences provide yet another crux for reconsidering what it means to be a person. Taken together, such outlooks cast in doubt the previous assurances of human ontology which were lodged in Western discourse. This book explores not only the scholarship behind such moves, but also, and perhaps more importantly, the ways in which everyday people are increasingly enacting posthumanism in their everyday lives. The book follows a narrative thread of various case studies ranging from the pre-hominid to the cyborg, and ends with a futurist appraisal of current trajectories.
When Your BFF Is an AI
Authors: Thompson Tok
Published: May 2020

Artificial intelligence programs have increasingly entered public discourse in many diverse and overlapping ways. The various artificial intelligences are connected to our biologically based ones largely (though not solely) via the cyber network, which itself increasingly draws our species into its communicative framework. In this new, mediated, cyborg realm of culture there are no non-human animals, or plants, or any other natural forms of intelligence, but that does not mean we are all alone. Rather, there are new voices in our shared agora, now, and their voices do not necessarily attend to our own. This chapter explores the cultural overlaps of human and artificial intelligences online.

Monstrous Imaginaries
Authors: Ahmed Maaheen
Published: May 2020

This books engages with studies on Romanticism and on monsters in order to map out the heritage, functions, and affects of good monsters in contemporary comics and graphic novels. It shows how Romantic inclinations and themes are continued through comics monsters that question the distinction between human and monster, self and other.
Taking as its point of departure Romantic artists such as Goya and Blake and protagonists such as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein's monster as well as figurations of the trickster and Baudelairian ennui, the book gleans recurrent Romantic features that are then drawn out through monstrous protagonists in English- and French-language comics: dark romantic predilection for ruins and the sordid, the solitary protagonist, his quest, nostalgia, the prominence of the spectacle, excessive emotions, and above all, the characters' ambiguity and rebelliousness. In addition to insights from studies on comics, monsters, and Romanticism, the book also engages with the concepts of the imaginary, presence, and remediation.
In blurring the otherness of the monster, these protagonists retain the exaggeration and uncontrollability of all monsters while incorporating Romantic elements and thus exemplifying the continuation of one of the most significant transformations of Western consciousness. Each theme is highlighted through close readings of well-known but often overlooked comics: Enki Bilal's Monstretetralogy, Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run, Mike Mignola'sHellboy, and James O'Barr'sThe Crow.
Romantic Monsters
Authors: Ahmed Maaheen
Published: May 2020

The second chapter elaborates on the history of Romantic monsters and their connections to comics monsters as well as the medium of comics. It describes the context of the burgeoning romantic visual culture, including the perpetuation of imaginative prints by William Blake and Francesco de Goya as well as the increase in freak shows and other forms of entertainment based on visual illusions.
This underscores the close ties between entertainment, 'spectacularity' (which combines theatricality and the spectacle while also alluding to specters) and monsters, while also showing how more rebellious, anti-Enlightenment strains crept in through the interest in the abnormal and the increasing space offered for unbridled emotionality at the ends of both production and reception.
The inclinations towards ambiguity and even human-like renditions discernible in the literary monsters created by Mary Shelley and Victor Hugo are discussed. Three monsters with strong romantic inclinations—Frankenstein’s monster, Baudelairian ennui, and the trickster (included for his playful ambiguity and love for the spectacle)—are introduced which personify the different potentialities of the medium while having commonalities with comics monsters.
Monstre
Authors: Ahmed Maaheen
Published: May 2020

This chapter begins by drawing out the similarities between Baudelairian Romanticism—especially the Baudelairian monster, ennui—and the protagonists and aesthetics of Enki Bilal’s Monstretetralogy. The ambiguity of the monster is likened to the relativization of good and evil discernible in Baudelaire's works. In addition to discussing the problematization of memory, the chapter also highlights connections between monstrous spaces and its monstrous inhabitants. A discussion of the amorphousness of monstrosity is followed by an examination of the roles of specularity and rebelliousness. The chapter ends with a brief reflection on how Monstreand fluid monsters reflect on modern and contemporary history. Comparisons are also made between Baudelaire's modern ennui and Bilal's postmodern monster, both of which reflect upon a broader cultural change and experience of everyday life.
Comics Monsters
Authors: Ahmed Maaheen
Published: May 2020

This concluding chapter traces the forms of rebelliousness discernible in comics monsters by highlighting the rebellious romantic heritage ensconced in the comics medium itself. It summarizes the shared and distinct romantic features embodied by the monstrous protagonists in the previous chapters. This is followed by a brief close reading of Emil Ferris’ My Favorite Thing is Monsters to show how many of the romantic features brought out through the other comics reappear in this graphic novel.
Drawing links between the prominence of the spectacular and the spectacle in the analyzed stories as well as the medium, the chapter then elaborates on the embedding of romantic features and monstrous inclinations in comics, especially on spectacularity as an inevitable accompaniment to rebelliousness. The chapter ends with a brief coda on the presence of Romanticism through monsters in contemporary culture.
Transformative Performances
Authors: Trefzer Annette
Published: May 2020

This chapter proposes that Eudora Welty’s “Negro State Fair Parade” photographs of Jackson during the 1930s capture not only the segregated practices and spaces of the American South but also the transgressive rituals and transformative performances of an increasingly socially mobile black culture. These photographs, many of them never before published, display the tensions between cultural integration and racial segregation, and they speak sharply and sometimes humorously to the immediate political and economic contexts. Welty captures new African-American middle class opportunities in photographs that display long-standing black professions such as the burial and beauty parlor business, but also aspirations for upper middle-class vocations. Together these photos depict boisterous African American men and dignified women whose access to parade floats and cars indicates a new kind of racial and social mobility in the segregated southern cityscape. Welty creates a visual record of the act of claiming public space as she zooms in on various strategies of African American self-fashioning.
Moon Lake’s Orphans and “The Other Way to Live”
Authors: Griffith Jean C.
Published: May 2020

This essay examines the roles the character Easter in “Moon Lake” plays in the context of early-twentieth-century debates about the roots of poverty and society’s level of responsibility to poor children. By placing the focus of the story not on Easter but on the genteel Morgana girls’ shifting attitudes about her, Welty illustrates the ways child welfare policy was shaped by conflicting attitudes, whereby sympathy for innocent children coexisted with scorn for their parents. Assuming that Easter lives outside the boundaries that mark their own places in Morgana’s gendered, class-bound, and racially-segregated society, Jinny Love Stark and Nina Carmichael imagine the “orphan” to embody a womanhood untethered by race or rank, one, perhaps, more representative of American democracy. Ultimately, though, the girls come to see that Easter’s status as an orphan makes her more marked by and vulnerable to the violence and oppression that shape the South’s racial patriarchy.

Alteração dimensional de troquéis confeccionados com resina epóxi
Authors: Serraglio Bento Luiz , Grassia-Júnior Cléo Fernandes , Vitti Rafael Pino , Miranda Milton Edson , Cunha Brandt William
Published: May 2020

Objetivo: O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar e comparar a alteração dimensional de modelos obtidos em gesso especial tipo IV e em resina epóxi com diferentes proporções de pastas base/catalisadora. Métodos: Um modelo metálico da arcada superior, com os dentes #14 e #16 preparados para coroa total e dente #15 ausente, foi utilizado para as moldagens. As moldagens foram realizadas com silicone polimerizado por adição (Express XT). Os mode- los (n = 10) foram confeccionados em gesso especial tipo IV (Durone, Dentsply), resina epóxi (Sikadur 32, Sika) com proporção 2:1 (pastas base/ catalisadora) e resina epóxi modificada com proporção 2:0,8 (pastas base/catalisadora). Para a avaliação da alteração dimensional, as superfícies dos dentes #14 e #16 foram medidas com um paquímetro digital nas superfícies oclusal (M-D), cervical (V-P) e oclusocervical (O-C). Foram realizadas três medidas em cada superfície, obtendo-se uma média. Os dados coletados foram subme- tidos à análise de variância (ANOVA one-way), sendo as médias comparadas pelo teste de Tukey ( =0,05). Resultados: Na superfície V-P do dente #16, a resina epóxi modificada mostrou diferenças com o gesso. Na superfície M-D do #14 e #16, o gesso não apresentou diferença em relação ao modelo padrão. Entretanto, a resina epóxi e a resina epóxi modificada apresentaram diferenças em relação ao modelo padrão e ao gesso. Na superfície O-C do #14, houve diferença nos valores entre as resinas epóxi e o gesso. Na avaliação da mesma superfície no dente #16, o gesso não apresentou diferença em relação ao modelo padrão. O gesso apresentou uma expansão horizontal média de 0,27%; já no sentido vertical, evidenciou uma expansão máxima de 2,85%. A resina epóxi evidenciou uma contração média de -1,15% no sentido horizontal, e entre -1,00% e -2,94% no sentido vertical. Conclusões: O gesso especial tipo IV não apresentou alteração dimensional em relação ao modelo mestre; e a resina epóxi, independentemente da proporção utilizada, mostrou elevados valores de alteração dimensional (contração).
O que utilizar, sistemas adesivos convencionais ou autocondicionantes?

Published: May 2020

QUE OS SISTEMAS ADESIVOS AUTOCONDICIONANTES já são uma realidade na Odontologia Restauradora mundial ninguém mais duvida. A quantidade de artigos científicos disponíveis — laboratoriais, clínicos ou, até mesmo, revisões sistemáticas — demonstrando a qualidade e a confiabilidade desses sistemas é muito grande e, de uma maneira geral, na maioria dos cursos de pós-graduação em Dentística no Brasil, esses sistemas adesivos autocondicionantes são a primeira opção quando se pensa em procedimentos restauradores. Ora, se isso acontece,por que esses sistemas adesivos não estão entre os mais vendidos em nosso país? Por que esses sistemas adesivos ainda geram tanta desconfiança entre os profissionais generalistas? Por que os cirurgiões-dentistas brasileiros ainda têm como primeira opção os sistemas adesivos convencionais, quando realizam, por exemplo, uma restauração direta com resina composta?
Una Nueva Forma de Reducir la Intermitencia Eléctrica de Manera Sustentable, Caso de Estudio: Un Sistema Híbrido Tipo Rebombeo Solar en México
Authors: Ramos Leonardo de Jesus , Fragoso Manuel Montenegro
Published: May 2020

Contexto: México, antes de 2013, tenía un control unilateral tipo gubernamental del sector eléctrico, situación que fue modificada con la reforma energética donde las políticas de operación cambiaron, creando un nuevo esquema basado en un mercado eléctrico mayorista (MEM) a través de un mercado abierto; al mismo tiempo, las fuentes con mayor presencia a la fecha son las fuentes de generación eléctrica tipo intermitente, tales como las centrales solares fotovoltaicas y las centrales eólicas. La intermitencia que de estas fuentes surja en la red de transmisión eléctrica provocará un problema de seguridad energética denominado la curva de pato.

Método: Este estudio técnico-administrativo realiza un panorama pormenorizado para estructurar un modelo a través de la toma de decisiones con el proceso de análisis jerárquico (AHP, por sus siglas en inglés), ello con el fin de repotenciar el sector eléctrico mexicano mediante la toma de decisiones con los criterios sociales, ambientales, económicos, políticos y técnicos.

Resultados: Se presenta un análisis de sensibilidad resultado del software Lingo y Web-Hipre, el cual sustenta el criterio y subcriterio que mayor beneficio tendrá al incluir una nueva innovación denominada rebombeo solar, ello para salvaguardar las finanzas públicas y disminuir la intermitencia eléctrica en México.

Conclusiones: Llevar a la toma de decisiones y tecnologías dentro de políticas energéticas sin necesidad de un modelo físico, pero sí con una investigación de operaciones, comprobando la factibilidad de estas.

In the course of the study, the authors obtained the following results: - In legal practice, the non-acceptance of inheritance and refusal to inherit exclusive rights have their specific features; - It is proposed to supplement the existing civil legislation on the protection of the testator's copyrights.

‘Kazakhstan Authors' Society’ conducts its activities in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Its main function is to manage the property rights of authors. This management includes the issuance of permits to use deliverables on behalf of authors, as well as the collection, distribution and payment of royalties. It has been established that a notary has the right to apply to ‘Kazakhstan Authors' Society’ to determine one's authorship.

The authors have revealed that the current Kazakh legislation does not state the creation time of some deliverable and does not provide for the notarial certification of a web page (in case of copyright infringement).

Thus, a notary takes measures to protect the intellectual property rights owned by the copyright holder that might become the subject of succession.
