Abstract: This paper focuses on fabrication aspects of automatic drilling & tapping machine and it describe the various components of the machine. This paper also focusses on working of automatic drilling & tapping. Our machine also suitable with the economical mass production with increased the productivity and accuracy. This is done by reducing the set up cost and manual fatigue. This machine is capable of performing both drilling and tapping operation with the help for speed reduction gear box. As drilling requires high RPM and tapping requires low RPM to perform the drill and internal threads operation. We know that for tapping we need to rotate the spindle in both direction so we use bevel gear arrangement for reversal of the spindle and also worm and worm gear is used for speed reduction as drilling requires high RPM and tapping requires low RPM to perform the drill and internal threads

This study aims to determine the effect of compost and biochar doses and their interactions on the growth and yield of shallots. This research was conducted at the Local Waste Processing Site (TOSS), Kusamba Village, Dawan District, Klungkung Regency, Bali Province. The design used in this study was a factorial randomized block design (RAK) consisting of 2 factors. The first factor is the treatment of compost dose (K) which consists of 3 levels, namely: K1 = 5 tons ha-1, K2 = 10 tons ha-1, and K3 = 15 tons ha-1. While the second factor is the dose of biochar (B) which consists of 3 levels, namely: B1 = 5 tons ha-1, B2 = 10 tons ha-1, and B3 = 15 tons ha-1. The interaction between compost treatment with biochar had a significant (P<0.05) effect on the fresh weight of tubers per clump and fresh weight of rhizomes per clump, and a very significant effect (P<0.01) on the number of tubers per clump, but not significant (P≥0.05) to other variables. The compost dose treatment had no significant effect (P≥0.05) on all observed variables except for the maximum number of leaves. Biochar dose treatment had a significant to a very significant effect on the variables of maximum leaf number, fresh weight of tubers per clump, the oven-dry weight of tubers per clump, and oven-dry weight of tubers per clump, and had no significant effect (P≥0.05) on other variables. The interaction between compost 5 tons ha-1 and biochar 10 tons ha-1 (K1B2) gave the highest fresh weight of tubers per clump of 100.00 g which was significantly different or increased by 38.60% compared to the lowest fresh weight of tubers per clump at the interaction of compost 5 tons ha-1 with biochar 15 tons ha-1 (K1B3) is 72.15 g.

Kesehatan tanah merupakan salah satu aspek penting dalam mencapai pertanian atau kelapa sawit yang berkelanjutan. Berbagai upaya dapat dilakukan dengan meningkatkan produktivitas tanah baik untuk mendukung pertumbuhan maupun produktivitas tanaman. Salah satu upaya yang dapat dilakukan adalah dengan pemanfaatan bakteri pemacu pertumbuhan tanaman atau lebih dikenal sebagai plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB). Eksplorasi bakteri bermanfaat tersebut perlu dilakukan untuk mendapatkan isolat unggul yang nantinya dimanfaatkan sebagai pupuk hayati. Sebanyak empat strain kandidat bakteri pemacu pertumbuhan tanaman yaitu NT2, NT5, PD1, dan PK1 telah berhasil diisiolasi dari perakaran kelapa sawit. Keempat strain tersebut diidentifikasi sebagai Azotobacter chroococcum, Azospirillum brasilense, Bacillus alkalicellulosilyticus, dan Pseudomonas brassicacearum. Keempat strain tersebut dikonfirmasi sebagai multi fungsi bakteri pemacu pertumbuhan tanaman berdasarkan uji kualitatif dan uji kuantitatif. Aplikasi konsorsium keempat strain tersebut dalam bentuk biofertilizer pada bibit kelapa sawit dapat meningkatkan serapan hara, performa vegetatif tanaman yang lebih baik, biomassa bibit yang lebih tinggi, pengurangan dosis pupuk anorganik hingga 50%, dan 7-30% lebih efisien dibandingkan dengan penggunaan 100% pupuk anorganik.
Uma catedral da modernidade: Patrimônio, Sagrado e Secular na vida social da Catedral da Sé de São Paulo
Authors: Almeida Juliano Florczak
Published: April 2023

O presente artigo se dedica a analisar o início da trajetória de construção da Catedral Metropolitana de São Paulo, abarcando o fim do século XIX e início do século XX, com o objetivo de refletir sobre como a Igreja Católica vive o processo de secularização. Metodologicamente, trata-se de uma investigação em Antropologia Histórica que se baseia em pesquisa em arquivos, especialmente em jornais do período. Os resultados dessas análises apontam que a derrubada da antiga Catedral estimulou a emergência de movimento em prol da preservação do patrimônio histórico. Por outro lado, a demolição para erguer um novo templo propiciou a construção de um horizonte comum entre as elites eclesiástica e política e econômica, interessadas na “modernização” do país. Como conclusão, afirma-se que, ao fazer crescer religioso e secular simultaneamente no novo edifício, integrantes da hierarquia eclesiástica dialogam com o processo de secularização e modernização para engajar setores da elite e o poder público no projeto da nova catedral.
“Você é a favor ou contra o gênero?”: disputas, discursos e atos administrativos na discussão do Plano Municipal de Educação do Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Dias Carolina
Published: April 2023

O artigo oferece uma perspectiva sobre a atuação parlamentar municipal a partir da observação da discussão sobre a exclusão de termos como “gênero” e “sexualidade” no Plano Municipal de Educação do Rio de Janeiro. Este, que poderia ser um fato menor dentro do todo, acaba virando o centro da disputa entre os parlamentares da Câmara Municipal da cidade. Argumento que isso se dá porque tais palavras são carregadas de significados ameaçadores conferidos pelos próprios parlamentares, quando defendem sua visão sobre elas, em embates com outros parlamentares que conferem outros significados aos termos. Desse modo, tais parlamentares e seus apoiadores dão a sua contribuição para o processo de produção de concepções que qualificam, regulam e enquadram corpos, sujeitos e afetos como (in)desejáveis, ainda que isso seja feito apenas pela remoção de uma palavra de uma política pública. Para tal, foi realizada a análise etnográfica dos documentos que registram os trâmites legislativos da discussão, os demais documentos produzidos durante a elaboração da política pública em questão e entrevistas com nterlocutoras fundamentais nesse processo de elaboração. Nesse sentido, procuro destacar nesses fatos e registros o modo como parlamentares do Legislativo municipal desempenham seu papel, produzindo efeitos, discursos e performances na sua atividade parlamentar e levam a cabo os atos administrativos.
Apresentação: Antropologia das instituições e das práticas de poder: etnografia, política e bases sociais do conhecimento
Authors: Teixeira Carla Costa , Silva Cristina Dias da , Castilho Sérgio Ricardo Rodrigues
Published: April 2023

Embora a antropologia possua uma longa tradição de estudos das formas de organização social, foi apenas a partir dos anos 1920 e do início dos anos 1930 que uma antropologia das instituições começou a tomar forma. Com a intensificação da globalização e a expansão do capitalismo industrial e pós-industrial, a partir das últimas duas décadas do século XX a antropologia voltou-se cada vez mais para o entendimento das sociedades complexas e de suas instituições. Os problemas tradicionais derivados da inserção da/o antropóloga/o no seu ambiente de estudo e análise tornam-se mais agudos quando nos voltamos para as instituições, uma vez que elas, numa definição operacional inicial: têm o objetivo do aumento da produtividade (de mercado e/ou política); têm regras formais internas, estruturadas a partir de uma hierarquia funcional; separam as relações organizacionais das demais; e disciplinam os “de dentro”, erigindo barreiras ao acesso dos “de fora”.O dossiê focaliza algumas das principais questões – empíricas e teóricas – com que antropólogos e antropólogas se defrontam quando procuram construir uma antropologia das instituições e das práticas de poder, sem, para isso, excluir as contribuições de autores de áreas conexas interessados no tema e todo o arcabouço teórico-metodológico que a antropologia nos legou. Três dimensões principais foram exploradas, com maior ou menor intensidade, nos seis artigos aqui reunidos: 1) as questões relacionadas à etnografia nos variados contextos institucionais, suas potencialidades e limites; 2) os processos de institucionalização e as bases compartilhadas de conhecimento e 3) as práticas governamentais, o processo sócio-histórico e cotidiano de construção das ‘políticas públicas’, a dimensão documental dos itinerários burocráticos experimentada pelos interlocutores.
Performance measurement system in local governments: A critical analysis and advancements
Authors: Sorano Enrico , Biancone Paolo Pietro , Giovando Guido , Sardi Alberto
Published: April 2023

The literature highlights the need to develop and utilise a balanced, dynamic, and multi-perspective performance measurement system (PMS) for managing organisations. The system should report the key performance indicators (KPIs) to support decision-making processes. Although the useful approaches for the development of this system are described in the literature, they are not sufficiently applied to public organisations. Hence, this paper aims to identify and apply a useful approach for PMS design in a local government according to national legislation. A qualitative case study method is adopted in this research. It is recognised as the most effective method for obtaining an in-depth understanding of complex environments. To define the steps for developing a PMS, the context and regulation of an Italian municipality are investigated in this research. The result highlights the steps of PMS development suggested by national legislation. It illustrates a local government context, highlighting the considerable complexity of the organisational perspective and numerous controls to carry out to be compliant with the legislation background. The contribution of this study is twofold. First, the study contributes to the performance measurement literature through the approach definition of PMS development in local governments. Second, it contributes to practice by providing a useful case study of PMS development of local governments according to a national legislation background. The research describes a useful approach for designing a PMS in a complex and bureaucratic environment. Moreover, it highlights the main steps to develop a performance measurement system in a local government.
Brain structural correlates of psychopathic traits in elite female combat-sports athletes
Authors: González-Alemañy Eduardo , Armony Jorge , Rodríguez-Olivera Anelin , Bobes-Leon Maria
Published: April 2023

Psychopathy is characterized by glibness and superficial charm, as well
as a lack of empathy, guilt, and remorse, and is often accompanied by
antisocial behavior. The cerebral bases of this syndrome have been
mostly studied in violent subjects or those with a criminal history.
However, the antisocial component of psychopathy is not central to its
conceptualization and, in fact, psychopathic traits are present in
well-adjusted, non-criminal individuals within the general population.
Interestingly, certain psychopathy characteristics appear to be
particularly pronounced in some groups or professions. Importantly, as
these so-called adaptive or successful psychopaths do not show
antisocial tendencies or have significant psychiatric comorbidities,
they may represent an ideal population to study this trait. Here we
investigated such a group, specifically elite female judo athletes, and
compared them to matched non-athletes. Participants completed
psychopathy, anger, perspective-taking and empathic concern
questionnaires and underwent structural magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI). Grey matter density (GMD) was computed using voxel-based
morphometry from the T1-weighted images. Athletes scored significantly
higher in primary psychopathy and anger, and lower in empathy and
perspective taking. They also exhibited smaller GMD in the right
Temporal Pole, left Occipital Cortex, and left Amygdala/Hippocampus. GMD
values for the latter cluster significantly correlated with primary
psychopathy scores across both groups. These results confirm and extend
previous findings to a little-studied population and provide support for
the conceptualization of psychopathy as a dimensional personality trait
which, not only is not necessarily associated with antisocial behavior,
but may potentially have adaptive value.

Published: April 2023

Increasing studies have shown the importance of intraspecific trait
variation (ITV) on the ecological process. However, the patterns and
sources of ITV are still unclear, especially in the propagule of coastal
vegetation. Here, we measured fresh weight (FW), fresh length (FL),
maximum transverse diameter (TDmax), minimum transverse diameter (TDmin)
and the ratio of TDmax to TDmin (RTD) of the hypocotyl (propagule) of
Kandelia obovata for 66 genealogies across 26 sites. By combining
multiple factors of climate, ocean and maternal tree to analyze their
effects on the intraspecific trait variation of mangrove hypocotyl. The
results showed that value of establishment traits (FW, FL, TDmax and
TDmin which are related to mass) decreased along increasing latitudinal
gradients and they were directly positively regulated by temperature.
ITV of dispersal trait (RTD) was unstructured along latitudinal
gradients, which was constrained by fitness tradeoff. Our findings
indicate that establishment traits mainly varied between populations,
whereas dispersal traits mainly varied between individuals. This study
provides insights into the ITV of propagule in different functional
dimensions on a broad scale and that may help integrate ITV into future
analyses of mangrove protection.

Published: April 2023

This review presents a comprehensive examination of fully conjugated
covalent organic frameworks (COFs), which constitute an emerging class
of porous materials with immense potential for diverse applications.
This article focuses on diversified fully conju-gated COFs, including
sp2 carbon-carbon linkages, pyrazine linkages, benzobisoxazole linkages,
dioxin linkages, β-aminoalkenone linkages, etc. The synthesis techniques
and structural attributes of these COFs are expounded upon in great
detail, along with their potential applications in various fields. The
review thus provides a valuable resource for researchers keen on delving
into the synthe-sis and applications of fully conjugated COFs, thereby
highlighting their potential for developing novel functional materials
with dis-tinctive properties.
Signal detection theory applied to giant pandas: Do pandas go out of their way to make sure their scent marks are found?

Published: April 2023

The purpose of inter-animal communication is to allow signals released
by the animal to be perceived by others. Scent marking, with its
characteristics of specificity and delay, is thought to be the primary
mode of communication in giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca). The
“signal detection theory” predicts that animals choose the substrate
and location of their scent marks so that the signals released are
transmitted more widely and remain longer. As an energetically marginal
species, the cost of generating and marking chemical signals is costly
for pandas, so they are predicted to make trade-offs in scent marking.
However, existing studies do not account for the selective preferences
of pandas for marking, as they are only explained by the density of
marks at a certain location. Our study wanted to investigate whether the
marking behavior of pandas is indeed consistent with signal detection
theory. For the first time, we propose to use fecal counts to reflect
the intensity of habitat use by pandas, combined with mark counts to
determine the selective preference for marking. Our findings show that
the scent marking behavior of pandas is consistent with signal detection
theory, and that they go out of their way to ensure that their marks are
detected. The results of the study will help us to further develop the
conservation of pandas and their habitats.

Using Jensen’s inequality and integration by parts, we derive some tight
upper bounds on the Gaussian Q-function. The tightness of the bounds
obtained by Jensen’s inequality can be improved by increasing the number
of exponential terms, and one of them is invertible. We obtain a
piece-wise upper bound and show its application in the analysis of the
symbol error probability of various modulation schemes in different
channel models.
A survey of North American physicians' clinical practices related to pharmacologic, herbal, and nutritional substances used to increase milk production
Authors: Sadovnikova Anna , Sommers Jan , Oberhelman-Eaton Sara
Published: April 2023

Introduction Patients turn to foods, herbs, and medications to
increase milk supply (i.e., galactagogues). Physicians may be asked to
prescribe, recommend, or discuss perceived galactagogues despite a lack
of evidence for their use. It is unclear how factors such as education,
experience, and regulations influence clinical practice. The primary
objective of this study was to document Canadian and US-based
physicians’ attitudes towards, practice patterns surrounding, and
utilization of pharmacologic, nutritional, and herbal products for the
management of low milk supply. A secondary objective of this study was
to determine factors that influence physicians’ decision-making with
respect to the use of pharmacologic agents, foods, and vitamin, mineral,
and herbal supplements for the treatment of low milk supply.
Methods Physicians were recruited from two Facebook groups to
complete an anonymous, online survey about their clinical use of
pharmaceutical, supplemental, and nutritional substances perceived to
increase milk production. The association between practice patterns and
lactation medicine expertise or country for different perceived
galactagogues was determined. Results A total of 307 physicians
completed the primary portion of the survey. There was no difference in
the proportion of physicians in Canada or the United States (US) who
were defined as lactation medicine experts. Canadian physicians were
more likely to prescribe metformin, levothyroxine, and domperidone,
despite limited evidence of their effectiveness as galactagogues.
Experts used all of the pharmacologic galactagogues. Canadians and
experts were more likely than US-based and non-expert physicians,
respectively, to include herbs in their practice. Numerous reasons for
recommending or not recommending a given agent were cited, including
patient request, personal and clinical experience, and lack of
education, research, or access. Discussion The US FDA ban on
domperidone affects which pharmacologic agents physicians in North
America prescribe for low milk production. Despite having access to
domperidone and limited evidence of their effectiveness, Canadian
physicians are more likely than US physicians to also discuss,
recommend, or prescribe herbal supplements as galactagogues.
Conclusion In this online survey about medications, herbs, and
foods commonly used in an effort to increase milk supply, Canadian and
US-based physicians with and without lactation medicine expertise
described their practice patterns and reported limitations in knowledge,
medication access, and evidence. Though Canadian physicians prescribed
domperidone without limitations, US physicians were less likely to
incorporate it into clinical practice.

Published: April 2023

In this study, It was aimed to determine the effects of different
production and preservation methods on the shelf life and quality of the
Gemlik variety natural black table olives produced with low salt (2%).
For this purpose the olives processed with traditional Turkis turning
black olive using starter culture The MAP (Modified athmosphere
packaging), vacuum and gamma irradiation method (1, 3 and 5 kGy) was
applied for the first time in the preservation of table olives. The
reducing effect of 5 kGy dose on total phenolic substance and DPPH
antioxidant activity was found to be higher than other doses. During
storage, pH (4.30-4.83) and titratable acidity (0.68-1.02%) values of
black table olives changed in normal course. At the and of the
fermentation and storage, total phenolic substance and DPPH antioxidant
activity decreased and were found statistically significant
(p<0.01). During the storage period, the total amount of
phenolic matter in olives in normal production (without starter culture)
decreased from 232 to 144 mgCAE/100g and in starter culture added table
olives from 200 to 138 mgCAE/100g. As a result of the study, it was
ensured that table black olives produced with less salt (2%) could be
stored on the shelves for at least 6 months without using any
preservatives. In addition, radiation effect on quality was relatively
similar to other applications.

have been identified through literature review, which are essential for
the medical facilities to prepare to deal with the pandemic load.
‘COVID-19 positive cases per day’ and ‘efficiency of covid-19 testing
facility’ are factors that drives two dependent factors, ‘COVID-19 bed
availability’ and ‘oxygen demand’ while remaining factors as
intermediate linkage factors. Research Limitations/Implications
- Examination of the interrelationships among factors can support in
decision making about capacity building for COVID-19 medical facilities
in hospitals. The impact of these resources on the recovery rate of
COVID-19 patients can be studied further. The factors identification has
been done from the perspective of India and region specific factors can
be added or deleted from the TISM model. Originally/Value - An
analytic study of the literature review demonstrates the relationship
among the factors for healthcare accessibility to every COVID-19
positive patient and TISM examines “why” and “what” factors need
more consideration for the development of the healthcare infrastructure
for COVID-19 patients.
Global health, global networks: a multilingual network approach to COVID-19 tweets in Norway, Korea, and Italy
Authors: Robinson Jessica Yarin
Published: April 2023

Social media have created new opportunities for public health communicators to reach citizens without the filter of the news media. But these platforms also pose the challenge of having to compete with a wider variety of other actors – actors who, in a global pandemic, may be inside or outside the country. This transnational dimension of health communication, while alluded to in the academic literature, is still little understood, raising the need for new methodologies. Using large Twitter datasets from the period of the first pandemic lockdown in Norway, Italy, and South Korea, this paper demonstrates the use of multilingual network data for understanding health communication. The findings suggest that such a methodological approach, which reveals users’ transnational networks, can help identify the larger networks in which users interact and find health information, including global sources of misinformation.
Autonomian auvo ja kiro
Authors: Kuisma Merja
Published: April 2023

Julkisessa keskustelussa on kannettu huolta yläkoulun ja lukion oppilaiden ja opiskelijoiden kyvystä suoriutua opinnoissa, joissa heille annetaan runsaasti vapautta suunnitella ja toteuttaa itse omaa oppimistaan. Eri-ikäiset oppijat kuitenkin hyötyvät vapaudesta, kunhan opettaja ohjaa sopivassa määrin oppimisprosessia. Tutkiva oppiminen tarjoaa oppijalle mahdollisuuden kokea jokaiselle ihmiselle tärkeitä asioita, kuten autonomiaa eli itsekseen pärjäämistä sekä kompetenssia eli pätevyyden tunnetta. Lisäksi tutkiva oppiminen voidaan toteuttaa yhdessä oppien, jolloin oppijat kokevat kullekin meistä tärkeää aitoa yhteyttä ja vuorovaikutusta muihin ihmisiin.

Väitöstutkimus osoittaa, että tutkiva oppiminen mahdollisti paremmat tiedolliset oppimistulokset kuin perinteisempi opettajakeskeinen opetusmalli. Yläkoululaisilla myös motivaatiotaso nousi. Lisäksi kävi ilmi, että molempien ikäryhmän oppijat pystyivät omaksumaan tarvittavat itsesäätelyn taidot kyseisen opintojakson aikana, olivatpa heidän oppimisen itsesäätelytaitonsa alussa hyvät tai huonot.

Authors: Aw Jian Xin , Mohamed Nor Firdous , Rahmatullah Bahbibi
Published: April 2023

Past research revealed concerns over the depressive symptoms and psychological well-being of university students. The present study utilizes a stratified random sampling to examine the role of perceived social support on psychological well-being between depressed and non-depressed university students during the COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia. This study recruited a total  of 244 university students from different universities across Malaysia from November 2021 to July 2022 through social media such as Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
A prevalence rate of 50.4% of university students was found to present significant depressive symptoms. There is a significant correlation between perceived social support and psychological wellbeing (r = 0.769, p < 0.05). Non-depressed university students reported significantly higher on their perceived social support and psychological well-being than university students with significant depressive symptoms with values of p<0.001 and p<0.043. Among depressed university students, perceived social support from friends and significant others was reported to be significantly lower than non-depressed university students with a value of p<0.001 and p<0.023.
Overall, the present study discovered that a higher level of perceived social support could predict greater psychological well-being and reduced depressive symptoms among university students. Hence, perceived social support should be promoted as an effective intervention for university students due to its accessibility and cost. Future research should look into the effectiveness of perceived social support and other psychological resources for university students with different mental health concerns.

Published: April 2023

Background: Employees require an appropriate working environment that helps them work without problems limiting their performance.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the perspectives of the employees at the Ministry of Health in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region regarding their work environment and satisfaction with the various aspects of work.
Methods: This self-administered questionnaire survey involved 109 employees from the Ministry of Health in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan Region. A questionnaire containing different questions about the work environment and work satisfaction was used to assess employees' perspectives about their working environment.
Results: The participants thought that the sense of preserving public money and materials and feeling responsible among employees is low. The employees were not much satisfied with the relations between managers and employees. Most participants thought that improving the financial situation would affect the employees' capacity (96.3%) and that implementing modern systems, equipment, and programs would improve protection (84.4%). Most participants were satisfied with their workplace (71.6%) and thought their education was relevant to their work (73.4%). They emphasizedthe importance of making employees feel responsible, providing training courses, and improving the services and work facilities to improve the working conditions.
Conclusion: Low work awareness and commitment exist among employees. The working environment was an important factor in the job satisfaction of employees.
Análisis espacial mediante Google Earth Engine para el estudio y comprensión de las vías de circulación entre la Puna y los Valles Altos catamarqueños
Authors: Lepori Matías , Zamora Diego
Published: April 2023

Las investigaciones arqueológicas de carácter internodal requieren de un cambio en las escalas y perspectivas al plantear un abordaje que exceda los límites arbitrarios (y autoimpuestos) de alcance territorial en las investigaciones. Los datos generados tanto en la microrregión de Antofagasta de la Sierra como en la de los Valles Altos Catamarqueños indican vínculos y relaciones sostenidas en el tiempo entre estas y otras regiones aledañas. Así, proponemos el uso del Google Earth Engine (GEE) como herramienta analítica para la generación de información que aporte datos novedosos al tema de investigación propuesto, como pueden ser la disponibilidad de agua y pasturas, o el análisis de pendientes. La utilización de esta herramienta novedosa se sustenta en el análisis y procesamiento remoto de grandes catálogos de imágenes satelitales, actualizados constantemente, lo cual habilita una visión más dinámica y acorde de los procesos que buscamos entender.
Calibrando un mundo negro sobre rojo. Análisis visual, morfo-técnico y temporal de la cerámica Belén de la región de Fiambalá (Catamarca, siglos XIII-XV)
Authors: Basile Mara , Ratto Norma
Published: April 2023

Articulamos el análisis visual y morfo-técnico con los fechados radiocarbónicos de piezas del estilo Belén provenientes del oeste de Tinogasta, para evaluar la existencia de cambios y continuidades en términos visuales, técnicos y morfológicos (formas y contornos), y discutir su valor cronológico. El conjunto cerámico analizado forma parte de colecciones depositadas en museos públicos o privados y en instituciones gubernamentales y/o educativas, que difieren en la calidad de la información complementaria asociada, tanto contextual como documental.
Este acercamiento permitió: (i) reafirmar la profunda reiteración de imágenes, técnicas, morfologías y modos de organizar el espacio plástico que perduran en el tiempo; (ii) identificar ciertos cambios fundamentalmente en los repertorios temáticos y técnicos que, al menos en la región de Fiambalá, permiten plantear diferencias cronológicas entre las piezas Belén; y (iii) comenzar a asignarle una temporalidad tentativa a las piezas provenientes de excavaciones asistemáticas y depositadas en las Colecciones sin información cronológica.
Identidades performativas en los cuerpos-soporte Condorhuasi
Authors: Isasmendi María Victoria
Published: April 2023

El presente trabajo expone una propuesta teórico-metodológica en claves de género, feministas y queer, para abordar un estudio iconográfico de vasijas antropomorfas. Se toma como caso de estudio las piezas asignadas al estilo Condorhuasi, que integran los acervos del Instituto de Arqueología y Museo de la Facultad de Ciencias Naturales e Instituto Miguel Lillo ‒IAM (FCNeIML-UNT)‒. La metodología propuesta está orientada a identificar, diferenciar y registrar la presencia/ausencia de indicadores fenotípicos sexuales, como así también los actos corporales y los elementos identitarios a ellas asociados. Entre los ejemplares estudiados se identificaron figuras masculinas, femeninas y feminizadas, que fueron concebidas, a su vez, como cuerpos soportes que llevan consigo las identidades individuales, grupales y en algunos casos identidades combinadas. Asimismo, este estudio también comprende una instancia de comparación entre los componentes y/o referentes icónicos registrados en los cuerpos soportes, con objetos semejantes, registrados en contextos arqueológicos y etnográficos del Noroeste argentino.
Climatic conditions and habitats in Belső-Somogy, Külső-Somogy and Zselic as vegetation-based landscape regions II. Temperature and precipitation sensitivity of woodlands
Authors: Salamon-Albert Éva , Ortmann-Ajkai Adrienne , Horváth Ferenc
Published: April 2023

In our study climatic sensitivity of significant woody habitats are discussed in the territory of vegetation based landscape regions of South Transdanubia, including Belső-Somogy, Külső-Somogy and Zselic. Selected bioclimatic variables are used to characterize regional and habitat climate surfaces and envelopes by habitat occurrence. Gaussian probability curves were fitted, using long term (1961-1990) data for yearly and quarterly temperature and precipitation variables, representing general and extreme climatic conditions. Studied woodlands are sufficiently integrated into the climate surface and envelopes of the region, according to multipeaks of bioclimatic indices. Among woody habitat types, riverine and swamp woodlands (J) turned to be the most climate sensitive habitats, due to their few peaks with extreme values by numerous bioclimatic indices, especially yearly and quarterly precipitation variables. Mesic deciduous woodlands (K) are no directly climate sensitive on temperature relations, but they are like on the short time quarterly precipitation. Peaks of dry closed deciduous woodlands (L) and other tree dominated habitats (R) are completely fitted to regional climate surfaces and envelopes, so they have no significant climate sensitivity by any analysed bioclimatic variable.

Algunas reflexiones sobre los servicios públicos e iniciativa económica local: Balance tras diez años de aprobación de la LRSAL
Authors: Montoya Martín Encarnación
Published: April 2023

El trabajo tiene por objeto una reflexión acerca de los servicios públicos locales y la iniciativa económica local cuando se aproxima el décimo aniversario de la promulgación de la Ley 27/2013, de 27 de diciembre, de Racionalización y Sostenibilidad de la Administración local (LRSAL). Se trata de hacer un balance de su aplicación, de una parte, de los aspectos que estimamos más deficientes y problemáticos en esta materia: en particular el propio concepto de servicio público local y su delimitación con las actividades económicas locales e íntimamente relacionado con dicha diferenciación, la determinación del procedimiento legalmente establecido para la implantación y modificación de las formas de prestación de los servicios públicos. Se trata pues, de “viejos” problemas pendientes de resolver. Asimismo, se examina la incidencia de la legislación autonómica de régimen local promulgada tras la LRSAL en el régimen de gestión de los servicios públicos y ejercicio de la iniciativa económica local. 
Entre los aciertos de la LRSAL se analiza la incorporación de la perspectiva del impacto sobre el mercado y la concurrencia. Asimismo, se pone de manifiesto la ausencia de una política pública sobre la calidad de los servicios públicos locales.
