Differences in Risk Tolerance and Asset Allocation among White, Black, and Hispanic Households in the United States
Authors: Hisada Takanori
Published: December 2017

This study examines differences in risk tolerance and asset allocation among white, black, and Hispanic households in the United States. Regressions are run using a sample chosen by propensity score matching because there are substantial differences in the distributions of covariates among race and ethnicity. This study finds that white, black, and Hispanic households are more likely to have similar risk tolerances. In addition, this study finds that all three households are more likely to have similar asset allocations. Simultaneously, in practice, there is wealth inequality between whites and nonwhites. These results imply that differences among race and ethnicity do not affect risk tolerance and asset allocation, and therefore, wealth inequality between whites and nonwhites is not attributed to asset allocation.
The Level of Integration of Bancassurance Products of Financial Groups Erste Group Bank, UniCredit Group and KBC Group in Selected Countries
Authors: Přečková Lenka , Vávrová Eva
Published: December 2017

This paper will evaluate the current state of cooperation between banks and insurance companies as well as internal integration of bancassurance products in financial groups Erste Group Bank, UniCredit Group and KBC Group. The evaluation is performed as of September, 2016. There shall be selected ten countries which are located in Central and Eastern Europe: Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Slovenia and Serbia. The aim of this paper is to determine whether or not there is a similarity in integrated financial products belonging to different financial groups in individual countries. This paper will apply a qualitative research approach. A theoretical base for evaluating the level of cooperation between banks and insurance companies and for evaluation of an internal integration of bancassurance products will be set in the paper. The theoretical base is to be compared with the current bancassurance practice within financial groups and countries. To evaluate bancassurance practice, this paper shall use data available on web sites, financial and annual reports of financial institutions. The qualitative research is to contain a detailed analysis, sorting and comparison of set theoretical bases. The financial groups show differentness as far as integration is concerned. The research led to the conclusion that there is a similarity in bancassurance products which are offered in evaluated countries. A dissimilarity was found in the level of integration of bancassurance products.
“A character does not make a genus, but the genus makes the character”: three-taxon statement analysis and intuitive taxonomy
Authors: Mavrodiev Evgeny , Yurtseva Olga
Published: December 2017

Three-taxon statement analysis (3TA) is a method that may help to formalize the taxonomical intuition of the synapomorphy of the clade as a combination of its diagnostic traits, even if each trait, if taken separately, may be found in one or many other taxa of the same relationship. Using example based on the real morphological data, we are showing that 3TA can recognize clade in case of the complete lack of it synapomorphies, as optimized under the criterion of standard parsimony.

El texto analiza, desde una perspectiva integral, la evolución de Madrid andalusí. A partir de su fundación, en el siglo IX, hasta el siglo XI, el hábitat original, surgido alrededor del primitivo recinto emiral, impulsado por el emir Muḥammad I, crecerá como un ḥiṣn hasta trasmutar en una madīna. Aquí, se estudiará, no solo la arquitectura militar, también la planta “urbana” del asentamiento, junto al perfil económico desarrollado por sus pobladores. Igualmente, rompiendo un corsé historiográfico, hemos pretendido delinear, dentro de lo posible, los límites territoriales de Maŷrīṭ.This article examines, from a holistic perspective, the evolution of Islamic Madrid. From its founding in the ninth century to the eleventh century, the original habitat, emerged around the early emiral enclosure, powered by emir Muḥammad I, ḥiṣn to grow as a transmute in madīna. Here, you will explore not only the military architecture, too "urban" plant the settlement, alongside economic profile developed by its inhabitants. Similarly, breaking a historiographical corset, we have tried to outline, as far as possible, the territorial limits of Maŷrīṭ.

El consumo de la Prehistoria a través del videojuego, representaciones, tipologías y causas = The Prehistory through the Videogames: Representations, Tipologies and Causes
Authors: Venegas Ramos Alberto
Published: December 2017

Las representaciones de la Prehistoria en la cultura popular siempre han sido parciales, deformadas por los propios creadores para fijar una “marca prehistórica” que fuera fácilmente reconocible para los consumidores. En este trabajo intentaremos trazar un recorrido por la historia de las representaciones del videojuego ambientados en la Prehistoria para establecer una tipología y una serie de rasgos generales. Como conclusión ligaremos esta tipología, las diferentes representaciones y rasgos generales con las nociones de consumo, el pasado y el uso de la Historia en la cultura popular expresadas en los trabajos de Barthes Samuel (2012), David Lowenthal (2015) y Jerome de Groot (2016).The representation of the Prehistory in popular culture have been always partial, deformed by the creators of contents to create a “prehistoric brand” that be easily recognoscible for the consumer. In this paper we will try to trace a history of the prehistoric representations in the video games and stablish a typology for the different manifestations. In the last place, we will question himself the reasons for this representations in relation with the works of Barthes Samuel (2012), David Lowenthal (2015) and Jerome de Groot (2016) and their notions of the relation between the consuming, the past and the use of History in the popular culture.
La decoración escultórico-arquitectónica de carácter funerario en el Conventus Cluniensis = Funerary Type Sculptural-Architectural Decoration in the Conventus Cluniensis
Authors: Gutiérrez Behemerid María Angeles
Published: December 2017

El análisis detallado, tanto estilístico como tipológico, de un variado conjunto de materiales arquitectónicos y escultóricos, mayoritariamente descontextualizado, ha permitido constatar su carácter funerario así como su posible vinculación con diferentes tipologías funerarias dentro las categorías más habituales en el mundo romano: la edícula sobre podio, los altares con pulvinos o los altares decorados con roleos de acanto. Se pone de manifiesto su temprana adopción en el convento cluniense, desde comienzos de la época julio-claudia, así como las diferentes influencias estilísticas ―itálicas, galas fundamentalmente― que confluyen en la decoración cluniense, sin olvidar la fuerte impronta local. A partir de ahí, se traza un panorama global con respecto al proceso de monumentalización de las necrópolis en este ámbito geográficoDetailed analysis, both in stylistic as well as typological terms, of a range of architectural and sculptural materials, most of which have been displaced, has confirmed their funerary nature and their possible link to different funerary forms within the varieties most commonly found in the Roman world:  “aedicula”, altars with “pulvini” or altars with garland. Their early incorporation into the convent at Clunia is confirmed, dating from the Julio-Claudian period, together with various stylistic influences ― mainly italic, Gaul ― which converge in Clunian decoration, whilst not forgetting the strong local influence. Based on this evidence, an overall view is traced of the process of monumentalization of the necropolises in the area.
Modelos de abastecimiento urbano de aguas en la Bética romana: las cisternas = Urban Water Supply Models in Roman Baetica: The Cisterns
Authors: Castro García María del Mar
Published: December 2017

Las cisternas son el principal medio de aprovisionamiento de agua en las ciudades romanas en muchos casos. La historiografía ha identificado la existencia de un verdadero modelo de gestión del agua que emplea únicamente estas construcciones, o bien que las utiliza en conjunción con otros medios, como el aprovechamiento de aguas subterráneas mediante pozos. Partiendo desde una conceptualización teórica del término latino cisterna, realizamos un recorrido en la identificación de este modelo en casos específicos de Hispania como marco general del estudio, y en la provincia Ulterior Baetica como marco particular.Water storage cisterns are the main source of water supply in roman cities in many cases. Their existence has been identificated as a water management model which employs these hydraulic infrastructures exclusively, or together with others forms as groundwater extraction by wells. Starting to a theoretical conceptualization of the latin term cisterna, we carry out a review to identify this model in specific cases in Hispania as general spatial framework, and in Hispania Ulterior Baetica province as particular framework.

En 1.962, en pleno comienzo de los años del “desarrollismo” en nuestro país, inmerso entonces en pleno gobierno franquista, una pequeña y casi desconocida editorial con sede en Madrid, la editorial Norte y Sur se planteó la posibilidad de traducir al castellano la obra señera de Ronald Syme, The Roman Revolution, casi treinta años antes de que finalmente lo consiguiera la editorial Taurus. El proyecto de Norte y Sur finalmente no se llevó a término. Se trata, no obstante, de un episodio tan interesante como poco conocido de la historiografía de la historia antigua en España.

Palabras persas en el mitraísmo: la construcción de una imagen oriental del culto mitraico = Persian Words in Mithraism: The Construction of an Oriental Image of Mithraic Cult
Authors: Campos Méndez Israel
Published: December 2017

La cuestión de la procedencia oriental del culto mitraico se ha sostenido tradicionalmente en el propio origen persa del dios Mitra y por la presencia de otros testimonios en el culto vinculados con este territorio. El análisis en profundidad de las evidencias epigráficas en torno a la palabra “nama” nos permiten establecer la hipótesis de un empleo tardío de este término y por tanto permiten señalar un uso interesado para fomentar una representación oriental del culto mitraico romano.The question of the western origin of the Mithraic cult has been supported traditionally by the own Persian origin of the god Mithra and by the presence of other testimonies in the worship linked by this territory. The analysis of the epigraphic evidence concerning the word "nama" allow us to establish the hypothesis of a late incorporation of this expression and therefore they allow to indicate a use interested to promote an oriental representation of the Roman Mithraic cult.

Nonno e Arato: alcune proposte = Nono y Arato: algunas propuestas = Nonnus and Aratus: some proposals
Authors: Magnolo Arianna
Published: December 2017

Il presente articolo si propone di indagare il rapporto che Nonno intrattiene nelle Dionisiache con Arato, uno dei suoi molteplici modelli. Lo studio prende in analisi quattro passi significativi (1, 163-175; 25, 123-133; 38, 354-371; 47, 448-452) e li pone a confronto con i relativi versi dei Fenomeni e con il poema arateo nel suo complesso. Sarà messo in luce il duplice atteggiamento di semplice imitatio cum variatione/totale rovesciamento in cui si esplica la sfida ingaggiata dal Panopolitano. Il poeta, descrivendo le immobili costellazioni aratee come creature reali, giunge a superare il predecessore tramite un mimetismo sempre più esasperato, fino a dare vita a un'astronomia "dionisiaca", consona sia alle proprie tendenze stilistiche (paradosso) sia ai motivi portanti della propria opera (rapporto tra originale e copia). Questa astronomia personale prende forma nella Corona di Arianna, simbolo dell'unità cui, in un'ottica ispirata al Neoplatonismo, la ποικιλία finisce per tornare.El presente artículo pretende investigar la relación entre Nono y Arato, uno de sus muchos modelos, en las Dionisíacas. El estudio examina cuatro pasajes significativos (1, 163-175; 25, 125-133; 38, 354-371; 47, 448-452) y los compara con los relacionados versos de los Fenómenos y el poema arateo en su conjunto. Se destacará la actitud dual de sencilla imitatio cum variatione/total derrocamiento en la que se manifiesta el reto lanzado por Nono. El poeta, describiendo las inmóviles constelaciones arateas como criaturas reales, llega a superar su predecesor por medio de un mimetismo cada vez más acentuado, hasta crear una astronomía "dionisíaca", apropiada tanto para sus tendencias estilísticas (e. g. paradoja) como para los principales motivos de su obra, es decir la relación entre original y copia. Esta astronomía personal toma forma en la Corona de Ariadne, símbolo de la unidad a la cual, en una perspectiva inspirada en el Neoplatonismo, la ποικιλία tiene que volver.The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between Nonnus and one of his many models, Aratus, in the Dionysiaca. The study examines four significant passages (1, 163-175; 25, 125-133; 38, 354-371; 47, 448-452) and compares them with related verses of the Phaenomena and the aratean poem as a whole. The dual attitude, i. e. bare imitatio cum variatione/complete inversion, the Panopolitan shows in his competition with the predecessor will thus be highlighted. Describing the fixed aratean constellations as real creatures, the poet finally overcomes his model through an increasingly enphasized mimetism whose main outcome is a novel and authentic "dionysiac" astronomy: appropriate both to his own stylistic devices (e. g. paradox) and to the underpinning themes of his work, namely the relationship between original and copy. This personal astronomy finds expression in Ariadne's Crown, a symbol of unity to which, in a Neoplatonism-inspired perspective, ποικιλία is meant to go back.

ABSTRACT

One of the most significant changes in language classrooms over recent decades has been the introduction of ICTs. Despite a broad range of previous research in the field, little work has been done to date on assessing the benefits of teaching pronunciation through ICTs, something surprising in view of the large number of existing programs and other materials specifically designed to improve learners’ pronunciation. This paper is intended to contribute to the field in that it will provide an overview of the materials currently available for teaching pronunciation through the use of ICTs, as well as an empirical preliminary study on ESP students’ first contact with using ICTs for learning pronunciation. Results indicate that these students enjoyed using these technological tools and would like to use them again to practise their pronunciation.

ABSTRACT

This study aims to investigate whether it is possible to assess learners’ sociopragmatic competence in learner spoken data by examining requests produced by Japanese learners of English. Various pragmalinguistic features of requests in shopping role plays in the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology Japanese Learner English (NICT JLE) Corpus were extracted and the appropriateness of these linguistic features was rated by twenty English language instructors (10 native speakers and 10 Japanese) in terms of their politeness in different shopping situations. A significantly high rate of agreement was only obtained in judging the requests negotiating for a refund or exchange of the purchased item. The Japanese informants showed a relatively lower agreement than the natives especially on requests asking for permission to test an item. The highly rated linguistic features were not frequently used in the corpus. Therefore, annotating the sociopragmatic information in the target corpus seems unrealistic.

Published: December 2017

Abstract. The objective of the present study was to investigate the antibiotic susceptibility including mupirocin among Staphylococcus. epidermidis isolated from prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) (n=183) and nasal isolates (n=75) from patients intended to undergo prosthetic joint replacements. Susceptibility to mupirocin (used for eradication of nasal carriership of Staphylococcus aureus) was investigated by gradient test, and susceptibility to various other antimicrobial agents was investigated by disc diffusion test. All isolates, except three from PJIs and one from the nares, were fully susceptible to mupirocin. Multi-drug resistance (≥3 antibiotic classes) was found in 154/183 (84.2%) of the PJI isolates but only in 2/75 (2.7%) of the nares isolates, indicating that S. epidermidis causing PJIs do not originate from the nares.
Anthropologie existentiale et phénoménographie
Authors: Piette Albert
Published: December 2017

Comment garder tout au long d’un processus de recherche l’être humain qui est le plus souvent absorbé dans des ensembles, fragmenté ou mis entre parenthèses au profit d’autres entités, comme l’action, la relation ou aussi l’expérience ? L’auteur propose alors de considérer l’homme en tant qu’il existe, comme thème d’une anthropologie existentiale. C’est dans cette perspective que ce qu’il nomme phénoménographie insiste sur l’importance du suivi d’un seul individu à la fois pour observer comment il existe, c’est-à-dire comment il continue d’instant en instant. Cela suppose, d’une part, de travailler sur la singularité plutôt que sur les ensembles, sur l’unité empirique plutôt que sur les interactions, sur la passivité plutôt que sur la seule action, et, d’autre part, de réfléchir sur la place des relations dont l’auteur critique l’omniprésence théorique en anthropologie et sur les modes complexes et toujours mitigés de présence des humains.
Entre l’autre et le même
Authors: Cunin Elisabeth
Published: December 2017

Le Territoire de Quintana Roo, au sud-est du Mexique et à la frontière avec le Belize, naît en 1902. Dans cette région périphérique, le peuplement constitue un enjeu stratégique d’affirmation de la souveraineté et de l’identité nationales. Cette recherche mène une anthropologie historique portant à la fois sur la racialisation des politiques migratoires, l’instauration de mesures d’intégration et de développement de la région et les négociations entre administrations du centre (México) et de la capitale du Territoire (Payo Obispo, Chetumal). En s’intéressant à l’émergence d’une nouvelle entité politico-administrative à la marge de la nation et en inscrivant le Mexique au sein des sociétés post-esclavagistes marquées par les migrations de travailleurs afrodescendants, il s’agit ainsi d’introduire une altérité autre qu’indienne dans les réflexions sur la nation, le métissage et la race, à partir du cas de l’étranger noir.
Adaptations et résiliences des pratiques esclavagistes en Thaïlande et en Birmanie
Authors: Ivanoff Jacques , Chantavanich Supang , Boutry Maxime
Published: December 2017

Parler d’esclavage moderne soulève des questions éthiques, religieuses, politiques et économiques. L’esclavage « traditionnel » est tellement complexe, pouvant même aller jusqu’à un esclavage « volontaire », aujourd’hui tout comme hier, que l’on a parlé de formes extrêmes de dépendance (Condominas 1998) pour définir cette catégorie sociale. L’histoire de l’Asie du Sud-Est a été sujette à la colonisation de territoires, suivant les affrontements d’États nations en formation qui, pour coloniser leurs terres, mettaient en esclavage les populations soumises. D’autres formes existaient, les serfs aux mains de seigneurs ou les esclaves pour dettes. Ces derniers peuvent être encore définis aujourd’hui comme des esclaves. D’une part, les autorités, malgré tous les efforts menés, ne peuvent éradiquer ce problème trop ancré culturellement et, d’autre part, les économies locales ont besoin de ces travailleurs-esclaves pour faire tourner leurs économies de manière compétitive, quitte à aller les chercher dans les pays voisins (la Thaïlande puise dans la main-d’oeuvre cambodgienne et birmane). Un paradoxe est évident. Comment supprimer l’esclavage alors que celui-ci est nécessaire à l’économie ? D’où il découle par exemple des difficultés de dialogue entre les États-Unis et la Thaïlande pour savoir dans quelle catégorie « Tier » mettre le Royaume de Thaïlande, qui malgré ses efforts pour lutter contre le trafic humain, mène une lutte plus déclarée qu’effective et est demeurée dans la catégorie infamante « Tier 3 » jusqu’au mois d’août 2016. Malgré les outils pertinents que représentent les ONG, les recherches, les commissions d’enquêtes et les sanctions (le « carton jaune » de l’Europe par exemple concernant les produits de la pêche venus de Thaïlande), cela ne suffit pas à éradiquer des pratiques tellement anciennes qu’elles sont inscrites dans la culture népotique de l’Asie du Sud-Est elle-même. Seules l’éducation et la pratique des petits pas permettront de remédier à ce problème, avec évidemment une redistribution des richesses, dont la lacune constitue un des piliers de l’archaïsme du Sud-Est asiatique.
Formes contemporaines de la servitude pour dette et continuum des formes de travail en Inde du sud : le cas du système Palamur
Authors: Picherit David
Published: December 2017

L’article explore les manières dont les formes contemporaines de la servitude pour dette en Inde sont façonnées par des articulations concrètes avec d’autres formes de travail et de circulation comme l’emploi journalier et l’auto-emploi. En considérant la servitude non comme une catégorie homogène et hermétique, mais comme inscrite dans un continuum de formes de travail, l’article examine les pratiques et les représentations de l’asservissement pour dette, dans un contexte de relations de patronage remodelées tant par les travailleurs et les maistri que les leaders politiques-industriels. L’auteur s’appuie sur une étude ethnographique du système de servitude pour dette, Palamur, mis en oeuvre dans le district de Mahabubnagar, État du Telangana.
Abdias Nascimento
Authors: Saillant Francine
Published: December 2017

L’article propose une lecture de la pensée et des formes d’actualisation politique et culturelle d’un penseur du mouvement noir contemporain au Brésil, Abdias Nascimento. À travers les écrits politiques de cet auteur, il est possible de retracer les interprétations des actions privilégiées dans la lutte contre les discriminations qui ont suivi et suivent toujours l’expérience post-abolitionniste. L’adhésion à la pensée de la décolonisation puis à celle de l’afrocentrisme, et aussi à une version du panafricanisme qu’est le quilombisme (et dont il est l’auteur), n’a pas empêché cet intellectuel de la diaspora de penser l’émancipation depuis le continent latino-américain, et plus particulièrement depuis le Brésil. La perspective selon laquelle la fin de l’esclavage n’aurait pas eu lieu, leitmotiv du mouvement noir contemporain au Brésil et dont Nascimento est une figure fondatrice, permet l’établissement d’un parallèle entre les luttes du mouvement noir et celles du mouvement contre l’esclavage contemporain.
Silences et construction sociale du récit historique chez les Boni de la Guyane française
Authors: Moomou Jean
Published: December 2017

L’article propose une étude de la pratique du silence dans le processus de transmission et d’acquisition des faits relatifs au passé des Boni du Suriname en Guyane française, entre le début du XVIIIe siècle et la première moitié du XXe. Dans la société boni, des enjeux politiques, sociaux, culturels et religieux, placés au service des rapports de force, peuvent se cacher derrière les silences et les oublis. Paradoxalement, ces mêmes silences peuvent contribuer « objectivement » à l’écriture de l’histoire-science de ce groupe socioculturel. L’étude s’attachera à l’aspect méthodologique mais révélera aussi une ambiguïté entre morale et savoir.
Complexité et auto-organisation en entrepreneuriat collectif : analyse d’une scène musicale locale
Authors: Emin Sandrine , Guibert Gérôme
Published: December 2017

Cet article a pour objet de proposer une autre manière d’appréhender le processus entrepreneurial que celle ancrée dans une vision individualiste. Pour ce faire, il documente une forme spécifique d’entrepreneuriat collectif, celle dans laquelle l’organisation impulsée est un contexte entrepreneurial (et non une entreprise ou une activité innovante). Il repose sur l’étude longitudinale d’une scène musicale locale reposant essentiellement sur les pratiques amateurs et le bénévolat. S’inscrivant dans l’approche processuelle en entrepreneuriat (Steyaert, 2007) et dans les travaux sur l’ancrage territorial de l’entrepreneuriat (Julien, 2005), il s’intéresse aux interactions entre acteurs et aux phénomènes d’encastrement pour répondre aux questions suivantes : comment se forme un tel contexte ? Que produit-il ? Quel est son processus d’organisation ? Les résultats défont l’évidence d’une vision causale et linéaire du processus entrepreneurial ; une telle approche ne permettant pas de saisir le phénomène collectif étudié. L’analyse montre un acte collectif de création que l’on peut qualifier d’auto-organisé et émergent. L’intérêt des résultats est alors à rechercher dans une meilleure compréhension de la complexité et de la créativité du processus entrepreneurial.
Proeses que les barceloneses dones han ostentat en este siti de l’any 1706: una aproximació filològica
Authors: Sogues Marco Marc
Published: December 2017

Resum: Durant el setge borbònic de Barcelona de l’any 1706, es produí una contraofensiva dels barcelonins per recuperar la fortalesa de Montjuïc en la qual les dones de la ciutat tingueren un paper molt destacat. Aquesta participació va ser lloada en una relació en vers que va circular a través un plec solt intitulat Proeses que les barceloneses dones han ostentat en este siti de l’any 1706. L’obra és coneguda dins l’àmbit de la historiografia, però fins ara no disposàvem de cap acostament al text que proporcionés al lector una edició filològicament fiable, actualitzada i comentada del poema complet, de manera que aquest és l’objectiu del present treball. Per assolir-lo, l’article s’estructura en tres parts: 1) l’enquadrament del text dins el seu context històric i cultural; 2) la seva descripció i interpretació a la llum de les eines metodològiques i conceptuals de la teoria literària i de la comparatística; i 3) l’establiment del text a partir de l’acarament crític de tots els testimonis disponibles i la seva edició, amb l’adaptació ortogràfica i els aparats crítics corresponents. Paraules clau: Poesia catalana, literatura barroca, dones, setge de Barcelona, Guerra de Successió Espanyola Abstract: During the Bourbon siege of 1706, the inhabitants of Barcelona launched a counter-offensive in order to recover the fortress of Montjuïc. The women of the city played a significant role in this actions and their participation was praised in an account of events written in verse that circulated through a libel entitled Proeses que les barceloneses dones han ostentat en este siti de l’any 1706 (Feats that Barcelona women have shown in this site of the year 1706). This work is well known in the field of historiography, but nonetheless, until this moment, no approach has been proposed providing the reader with a philologically reliable, updated and commented edition of the complete poem. Therefore this is the objective of the present work. To achieve this objective, the article is structured in three parts: 1) the framing of the text in its historical and cultural context; 2) its description and interpretation in the light of the methodological and conceptual tools of literary theory and comparative literature; and 3) the establishment of the text based on the critical comparison of all the available printed testimonials and its edition, with the spelling adaptation and the corresponding critical apparatus.. Keywords: Catalan poetry, baroque literature, women, siege of Barcelona, War of the Spanish Succession
La poètica de la mort en la poesia catalana dels segles XVII i XVIII
Authors: Ortiz García José A.
Published: December 2017

Resum: L’objectiu d’aquest estudi és proposar una visió sobre el tòpic de la mort en la poesia catalana pels segles XVII i XVIII. El punt central és la projecció pública de les composicions poètiques, tot apropant-nos a la literatura des d’un punt de vista cultural per presentar certs aspectes d’un tema clau en l’art barroc: el final de la vida. La primera part del text introdueix dos dels escriptors del barroc català, Francesc Fontanella i Agustí Eura. La segona secció recerca l’ús de la poesia catalana en les exèquies reials al voltant de la figura del monarca hispànic Carles II. Un cop presentades públicament les poesies en 1701, les edicions impreses són les que ens permeten una lectura contemporània. Publicacions d’altres gèneres poètics són la darrera part de l’article. Els Desenganys de l’Apocalipsi és una coneguda obra barrejant poesia i imatges amb una vessant didàctica per explicar el purgatori, l’infern, la glòria i el paradís als fidels lectors.  Paraules clau: mort, poesia, barroc, exèquies  Abstract: The aim of this study is a global vision about the topic of death in Catalan poetry throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. Focusing on the public use of poetical compositions, we want to approach literature from a cultural point of view in order to present some aspects about a typical subject in baroque art: the end of life. The first part of the text introduces two main Catalan baroque writers, Francesc Fontanella and Agustí Eura. Moving to the second section, the paper researches the use of poetry in royal obsequies around the figure of the Spanish monarch Charles the Second. After the public presentation of the texts in 1701, the printed publication of them is how we can still read them. The printed copies for other kind of poetry creations is the last part of this article. Desenganys de l’Apocalipsi is a well-known text mixing poetry and images with a didactical purpose: to explain the Purgatory, the Hell, the Glory and the Heaven to faithful readers. Keywords: death, poetry, baroque, obsequies

ДУБРОВАЧКО ПИСМО КРАЉУ СТЕФАНУ ОСТОЈИ
Authors: Смиљанић Аранђел
Published: December 2017

Дубровчани су 3. јула 1398. упутили писмо краљу СтефануОстоји,као одговор на његово писмо у коме је тражио да му изруче хумскогвластелина Ђурђа Радивојевића. Остојин захтјев био је у вези са промјенамакоје су се у прољеће те године десиле у Босни, односно са детронизацијомкраљице Јелене Грубе и његовим избором за новог краља. Већина властелеподржала је избор Остоје за краља, али је било и оних који су остали вјерникраљици. Међу њима водећа личност био је управо кнез Ђурађ Радивојевић,који је морао напустити своје баштинске посједе у Хуму, нашавши азил у Дубровнику.Власти Општине одбиле су његово изручење, објашњавајући то поштовањемсвојих закона и слобода. У завршном дијелу писма Дубровчани супоручили краљу да ће, без обзира на одбијање његовог захтјева, и у будућностинастојати да одрже пријатељске односе са Босном.

MJESTO I ULOGA ORGANIZACIONE KULTURE U SISTEMU KVALITETA
Authors: Jekić Cviko
Published: December 2017

U članku se istražuje organizaciona kultura i njen uticaj na uvođenje i primjenu sistema kvaliteta. Navedeni su osnovni elementi sistema kvaliteta koji obuhvata: organizacionu strukturu, odgovornosti, resurse, postupke, procese i kulturu koja objedinjuje sve ove elemente. Za shvatanje mjesta i uloge organizacione kulture u sistemu kvaliteta neophodno je bilo ukratko objasniti šta je sadržaj organizacione kulture, navesti karakteristike uspješne organizacione kulture, obrazložiti promjene organizacione kulture i navesti uticaje koje ima organizaciona kultura na organizaciju, menadžment i performanse. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da je snažna kultura koja predstavlja skup određenih vrijednosti, uvjerenja i stavova koje dijele članovi jedne organizacije izvor konkurentske prednosti i superiornih performansi. Za implementaciju savremenog koncepta kvaliteta je potrebna izgradnja novih stavova i novih vrijednosti u organizaciji, konstituisanje organizacione kulture u kojoj je ključna odrednica ponašanja kvalitet koji stvaraju svi u organizaciji. Potrebna je nova kultura a to je kultura kvaliteta.
МЕТОДЕ ИСТРАЖИВАЊА САТИСФАКЦИЈЕ КУПАЦА
Authors: Тешић Дејан
Published: December 2017

Успјешност сваког предузећа зависи од тога колико је оно способно да континуирано унапређује производе и/или услуге из свог асортимана са циљем да се купцима понуди већи квалитет, боље цијене и већа вриједност у односу на конкуренцију. Купци умију да препознају напоре предузећа да се реализују њихови захтјеви. Лојалност купаца је циљ сваког предузећа јер су лојални купци важни за профитабилност предузећа. Предуслов лојалности купаца јесте њихова сатисфакција. Сатисфакција купаца спада у тзв. soft карактеристике предузећа, односно карактеристике које се не могу мјерити квантитативним методама.У последњих неколико деценија многи аутори су покушали да дефинишу неколико метода за мјерење сатисфакције купаца, чији резултати би били основа на којој би се дизајнирале стратегије усмјерене према купцима. Квалитативне и квантитативне методе су доступне, али квалитативне методе немају исти проценат поузданости као квантитативне методе. Између квантитативних и квалитативних метода, предузећа се најчешће одлучује на комбиноване методе које искориштавају све предности једних и других.

Published: December 2017

O presente ensaio teve por objetivo refletir sobre as considerações conceituais dos registros de enfermagem em sua dimensão assistencial. Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa que discutiu os registros de enfermagem sob o ponto de vista teórico e contextual. A síntese crítica foi produzida a partir das dissertações e teses vinculadas à Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) com aderência à área de Enfermagem Fundamental; artigos atuais com mais de cem citações pesquisados no Google Acadêmico, sobretudo os que discorrem sobre o núcleo significativo para a construção das reflexões; e registros de enfermagem. O material produzido foi submetido à análise de conteúdo de Bardin e agrupado em uma unidade descritiva intitulada “mensagens científicas dos registros de enfermagem para o cotidiano do cuidar”. Nessa pesquisa estão contidas as análises reflexivas sobre as formas e os conteúdos dos registros provenientes das situações de cuidar ocorridas a partir do encontro estabelecido entre a enfermagem e o paciente nos diversos cenários do cuidado. As (in)conclusões dos materiais analisados apontaram para registros de enfermagem cifrados, ilegíveis, presença de rasuras, erros ortográficos, espaço em branco entre as anotações, conteúdos que privilegiam o saber biomédico e uso indiscriminado de abreviaturas e siglas.
Neurobiology of Sexual Assault and Osteopathic Considerations for Trauma-Informed Care and Practice
Authors: Cuevas Kristen M. , Balbo Jane , Duval Krista , Beverly Elizabeth A.
Published: December 2017

Sexual assault is a traumatic event with potentially devastating lifelong effects on physical and emotional health. Sexual assault is associated with gastrointestinal, neurologic, and reproductive symptoms, as well as obesity, diabetes, and chronic pain. With 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men experiencing some form of unwanted sexual violence in their lifetime, sexual assault is a significant public health problem that necessitates attention in the medical community. This review discusses relevant literature on the neurobiologic changes that occur as a consequence of sexual assault, such as how the brain responds during a traumatic experience and the impact of trauma on memory. Osteopathic considerations for trauma-informed care and practice and how all physicians can better serve patients with a history of sexual assault are also discussed.
Cost-efficient enactment of stream processing topologies
Authors: Hochreiner Christoph , Vögler Michael , Schulte Stefan , Dustdar Schahram
Published: December 2017

The continuous increase of unbound streaming data poses several challenges to established data stream processing engines. One of the most important challenges is the cost-efficient enactment of stream processing topologies under changing data volume. These data volume pose different loads to stream processing systems whose resource provisioning needs to be continuously updated at runtime. First approaches already allow for resource provisioning on the level of virtual machines (VMs), but this only allows for coarse resource provisioning strategies. Based on current advances and benefits for containerized software systems, we have designed a cost-efficient resource provisioning approach and integrated it into the runtime of the Vienna ecosystem for elastic stream processing. Our resource provisioning approach aims to maximize the resource usage for VMs obtained from cloud providers. This strategy only releases processing capabilities at the end of the VMs minimal leasing duration instead of releasing them eagerly as soon as possible as it is the case for threshold-based approaches. This strategy allows us to improve the service level agreement compliance by up to 25% and a reduction for the operational cost of up to 36%.
ArsenophonusandSodalisreplacements shape evolution of symbiosis in louse flies
Authors: Šochová Eva , Husník Filip , Nováková Eva , Halajian Ali , Hypša Václav
Published: December 2017

Symbiotic interactions between insects and bacteria are ubiquitous and form a continuum from loose facultative symbiosis to greatly intimate and stable obligate symbiosis. In blood-sucking insects living exclusively on vertebrate blood, obligate endosymbionts are essential for hosts and hypothesized to supplement B-vitamins and cofactors missing from their blood diet. The role and distribution of facultative endosymbionts and their evolutionary significance as seeds of obligate symbioses are much less understood. Here, using phylogenetic approaches, we focus on the Hippoboscidae phylogeny as well as the stability and dynamics of obligate symbioses within this bloodsucking group. In particular, we demonstrate a new potentially obligate lineage ofSodalisco-evolving with the Olfersini subclade of Hippoboscidae. We also show several likely facultativeSodalislineages closely related toSodalis praecaptivus(HS strain) and suggest repeated acquisition of novel symbionts from the environment. Similar toSodalis,Arsenophonusendosymbionts also form both obligate endosymbiotic lineages co-evolving with their hosts (Ornithomyini and Ornithoica groups) as well as possibly facultative infections incongruent with the Hippoboscidae phylogeny. Finally, we reveal substantial diversity ofWolbachiastrains detected in Hippoboscidae samples falling into three supergroups: A, B, and the most common F. Altogether, our results prove the associations between Hippoboscoidea and their symbiotic bacteria to undergo surprisingly dynamic, yet selective, evolutionary processes strongly shaped by repeated endosymbiont replacements. Interestingly, obligate symbionts only originate from two endosymbiont genera,ArsenophonusandSodalis, suggesting that the host is either highly selective about its future obligate symbionts or that these two lineages are the most competitive when establishing symbioses in louse flies.
Measurement of sedentary behaviour in population health surveys: a review and recommendations
Authors: Prince Stephanie A. , LeBlanc Allana G. , Colley Rachel C. , Saunders Travis J.
Published: December 2017

Background

The purpose of this review was to determine the most valid and reliable questions for targeting key modes of sedentary behaviour (SB) in a broad range of national and international health surveillance surveys. This was done by reviewing the SB modules currently used in population health surveys, as well as examining SB questionnaires that have performed well in psychometric testing.

Methods

Health surveillance surveys were identified via scoping review and contact with experts in the field. Previous systematic reviews provided psychometric information on pediatric questionnaires. A comprehensive search of four bibliographic databases was used to identify studies reporting psychometric information for adult questionnaires. Only surveys/studies published/used in English or French were included.

Results

The review identified a total of 16 pediatric and 18 adult national/international surveys assessing SB, few of which have undergone psychometric testing. Fourteen pediatric and 35 adult questionnaires with psychometric information were included. While reliability was generally good to excellent for questions targeting key modes of SB, validity was poor to moderate, and reported much less frequently. The most valid and reliable questions targeting specific modes of SB were combined to create a single questionnaire targeting key modes of SB.

Discussion

Our results highlight the importance of including SB questions in survey modules that are adaptable, able to assess various modes of SB, and that exhibit adequate reliability and validity. Future research could investigate the psychometric properties of the module we have proposed in this paper, as well as other questionnaires currently used in national and international population health surveys.
