The influence of political and economic changes on macro-level property crime variation: The case of post-communist Central and Eastern Europe
Authors: Stamatel Janet P
Published: December 2017

The goal of this article was to assess the extent to which major changes in the political and economic systems of Central and Eastern European countries after the fall of communism contributed to variations in property crime rates, controlling for other structural predictors. Data for 17 countries from 1990–2003 were collected for three types of property crimes: total theft; motor vehicle theft; and domestic burglary. Traditional predictors derived from modernization and routine activities theories produced inconsistent results, but political and economic changes due to the post-communist transformations were significant predictors of property crime variation. Economic changes toward liberalization, marketization, and privatization were strongly, positively related to higher property crime rates across all three types. Political changes toward democratization were only positively related to higher domestic burglary rates. The control variables were weak and inconsistent predictors of all three property crimes. The article discusses some of the implications of these findings for updating macro-level crime theories.
Adsorption of phenanthrene by stevensite and sepiolite
Authors: González-Santamaría D.E. , López E. , Ruiz A. , Fernández R. , Ortega A. , Cuevas J.
Published: December 2017

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are increasingly widespread pollutants introduced into the environment via oil spillage and incomplete anthropogenic combustion of fossil fuels. In this work, the capacity of stevensite and sepiolite to adsorb phenanthrene (PHE) has been evaluated experimentally by batch testing. Both clay minerals are distributed widely in the Madrid Basin, are of low cost and can be applied with minimal environmental impact. In the context of few previous studies, adsorption isotherms have been developed to understand the adsorption mechanisms and were fitted to the Freundlich and linear models with virtually the same results. Although stevensite showed greater adsorption capacity than sepiolite, the isotherms were constructed for equilibrium concentrations up to 0.8–1.0 mg/L due to the low solubility of PHE in water. When compared to other adsorbents the ability of stevensite to retain PAHs should be examined further in order to add and complement novel functions in reactive barriers.
How to Identify and Manage Cognitive Dysfunction After Breast Cancer Treatment
Authors: Lange Marie , Joly Florence
Published: December 2017

Attention and memory dysfunction is a common complaint among patients with breast cancer that can be reported during and up to several years after treatment. It can negatively affect patients’ quality of life and their ability to work. This phenomenon has mainly been studied in patients with breast cancer who are treated with adjuvant chemotherapy. Women describe concentration problems and difficulties with word finding, multitasking, or remembering new information, as well as more effort and time needed to accomplish these tasks. Such cognitive dysfunction is subtle or moderate and occurs in 15% to 25% of patients. Older patients seem more likely to experience cognitive decline with chemotherapy than do young women with breast cancer. Patients who report that cognitive dysfunction has affected their daily lives for 6 to 12 months after the end of chemotherapy or during hormone therapy may need referral to a neuropsychologist. During the cognitive assessment, the etiology of their cognitive complaints is sought and neuropsychological tests are administered to assess objective cognitive functioning. Psychological factors—fatigue and pain—should be assessed systematically with cognitive complaints to identify precisely the cause of the problems. A nonpharmacologic approach—mainly cognitive rehabilitation—seems to be the most promising for the management of these difficulties, but these preliminary results require confirmation. In the future, early detection of cognitive impairment and cognitive rehabilitation should be included in the portfolio of oncology supportive care to facilitate the return to work of young women and to avoid potential repercussions on adherence to oral treatments and on autonomy in older patients.
The long reads ahead: de novo genome assembly using the MinION
Authors: de Lannoy Carlos , de Ridder Dick , Risse Judith
Published: December 2017

Nanopore technology provides a novel approach to DNA sequencing that yields long, label-free reads of constant quality. The first commercial implementation of this approach, the MinION, has shown promise in various sequencing applications. This review gives an up-to-date overview of the MinION's utility as a de novo sequencing device. It is argued that the MinION may allow for portable and affordable de novo sequencing of even complex genomes in the near future, despite the currently error-prone nature of its reads. Through continuous updates to the MinION hardware and the development of new assembly pipelines, both sequencing accuracy and assembly quality have already risen rapidly. However, this fast pace of development has also lead to a lack of overview of the expanding landscape of analysis tools, as performance evaluations are outdated quickly. As the MinION is approaching a state of maturity, its user community would benefit from a thorough comparative benchmarking effort of de novo assembly pipelines in the near future.

Recent advances in understanding and managing T-cell lymphoma
Authors: Yi Jun Ho , Kim Seok Jin , Kim Won Seog
Published: December 2017

Owing to the rarity of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) and the heterogeneity of subtypes, there are no compelling data to guide the therapeutic approaches for such patients. Over the years, there have been remarkable advances in molecular subtyping and treatment of PTCL, although there are still many areas to be explored. In this review, we summarize recent updates on the evolution of understanding and treatment for PTCL.
Characterisation of a stably integrated expression system for exogenous protein expression in DT40
Authors: Skouteri Meliti , Hochegger Helfrid , Carr Antony M.
Published: December 2017

The use of constitutive promoters to drive exogenous protein expression is an important tool for the study of diverse biological processes. To create and characterise a stably integrated expression system for DT40 cells, we constructed integration cassettes for three commonly used promoter elements; CMV (cytomegalovirus), CBA (chicken beta actin) or CAG (a hybrid promoter containing the CMV enhancer and chicken beta actin promoter), and used these to stably integrate a TOPBP1 transgene at the OVA locus, a transcriptionally silent locus commonly used in DT40. We next performed a comparative analysis of protein expression levels and identified CAG as the most efficient of the promoter elements we have tested in DT40 cells. To assess whether the site of integration affected the levels of transgene expression, a second chromosomal locus, immediately adjacent to the endogenous TOPBP1 gene, was tested for CAG. No major differences in TopBP1 overexpression were observed. This confirms that use of the OVA locus for integrating transgenes is a rational choice for DT40. Finally, we demonstrate that our stably integrated overexpression system (SIOS) constructs can be efficiently excised by the induction of tamoxifen-regulated Cre expression. Taken together, SIOS is an easy-to-use and versatile system for constitutive, reversible exogenous protein production that provides a range of potential expression levels. This will be a useful tool for future DT40 experiments.
Threshold-Based Allocation Policies for Inventory Management of Red Blood Cells
Authors: Sarhangian Vahid , Abouee-Mehrizi Hossein , Baron Opher , Berman Oded
Published: December 2017

Under current regulations, red blood cell (RBC) units can be transfused to patients up to 42 days after donation. However, recent studies suggest an association between the age of transfused RBCs and adverse clinical outcomes for their recipients. Therefore, there is an interest in inventory management policies that could reduce the age of transfused RBCs without compromising their availability. In this work, we study the performance of a practical family of threshold-based allocation policies, designed to trade off the age of RBC transfusions with their availability at hospitals. To this end, we consider a stylized model of a hospital blood bank that procures its required blood from local donations. For this model, we develop a new method to exactly evaluate the performance of the threshold policy in terms of the distribution of the age of allocated units and the proportion of outdates and lost demand. Through numerical and structural results, we obtain new insights on the performance of the threshold policy and in particular on how it compares with shortening the shelf life of RBCs (e.g., from 42 to 28 days). We verify and discuss the robustness of these results to the model assumptions in a simulation study calibrated using data from a Canadian hospital blood bank.

Same-sex love in times of Dutroux: The articulation of homosexuality with child abuse in late 1990s’ Flemish print media
Authors: Vanlee Florian , Van Bauwel Sofie , Dhaenens Frederik
Published: December 2017

In this article, we point to the peculiar conjuncture between the increased emancipation of gay men and lesbian women in late 1990s’ Belgium, and the noted impact of the contemporaneous Dutroux affair on the construction of sexual diversity in the country. Approaching the case as a moral panic, we conducted a discourse analysis of the associated coverage in four mainstream Flemish newspapers, focusing on the articulation of homosexuality with child abuse. In doing so, we show how the folk devil is an a posteriori construct, operating as an empty signifier rather than a defined character, rendering it open to recuperation by other discourses. Hence, we illustrate how the conspiratorial construction of the folk devil in the Dutroux affair provided a space to articulate homosexuality with while still refraining from engaging in an explicitly homophobic rhetoric. Finally, we point to how historical contingencies inhibited the presence of moral entrepreneurs, pointing to moral opportunists as discursive agents instead.
‘Fight like a girl’: Virtual bedroom culture in public school occupations in Brazil
Authors: Castilho Fernanda , Romancini Richard
Published: December 2017

The aim of this work is to analyse a possible association of feminist engagement, young women and media activism through observing the public school occupations (PSO) in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, in 2015. This issue has implications for education, gender and media policies, and citizenship. Cultural Studies was the main theory approach used, especially the concept of bedroom culture. The research design of this study was qualitative and exploratory with focus group data analysis. In the results we observe that gender had a specific relationship with the PSO due to the central role of females in the movement, which was highlighted by the six girls who participated in the focus group. The online and offline involvement with this movement helped increase gender awareness among the youth, enabling the development of a political posture for the confrontation of the oppression and domination of women, especially for girls who had never had contact with feminism out of their bedrooms.
Pasión e infidelidad: discursos eróticos en la prensa femenina de los ’60
Authors: Schaufler Maria Laura
Published: December 2017

El artículo presenta un análisis de los discursos eróticos y los discursos de género en revistas femeninas de la década del ’60 en Argentina a partir de dos tópicos claves de las narrativas de la época: la pasión y la infidelidad.El texto es producto de la indagación de los sentidos del erotismo, los géneros y sexualidades en la prensa femenina, como parte de la tesis doctoral «La construcción del erotismo en revistas femeninas de la década del ’60 en Argentina» (CONICET, CIM–UNR), se asentó en el supuesto de que revistas de época como Para Ti, Femirama, Maribel, abonaron a una resignificación del erotismo femenino. Durante los ’60, los cambios culturales que afectaron desde distintos frentes a los sentidos del erotismo dejaron fuertes rastros en la cultura erótica desde las relaciones sexo–génericas. Definida como un proceso de producción de sentido, la categoría de erotismo puede rastrearse en diversos géneros discursivos comprendidos en la prensa femenina: narrativas, notas periodísticas, correos de lectoras, publicidades. Sin desconocer sus diferencias formales, en conjunto estos fragmentos de discursos permiten abordar un objeto escurridizo y turbio como es el erotismo. En tal dirección, dos conceptos claves y recurrentes para analizar la erótica de época son los de pasión e infidelidad, ambos emparentados con la idea de transgresión (Bataille, 2010).
Ficción y memoria como objetos discursivos y objetos de conocimiento
Authors: Novo Maria Del Carmen , Bonnet Marcela , Degli Uomini Mariano
Published: December 2017

Nuestro trabajo se inscribe en el análisis del discurso académico, especialmente en el que indaga acerca de los vínculos entre escritura y conocimiento en humanidades y ciencias sociales. En esta dirección, exploramos los aportes de la lógica natural propuesta por Grize (1982) para revisar de qué manera las operaciones lógico–discursivas señaladas por el autor permiten describir el proceso de construcción de objetos discursivos como objetos de conocimiento. Con ese fin, indagamos acerca de la construcción discursiva de los objetos «ficción» y «memoria» en un corpus de ensayos producidos por alumnos de primer año del Profesorado en Lengua y Literatura a partir de la lectura de una serie de novelas que anclan referencialmente en el terrorismo de Estado de las últimas dictaduras militares de nuestro país. Describimos cómo el despliegue de operaciones lógico-discursivas en la escritura incide en las diversas maneras ensayadas por los estudiantes para apropiarse del conocimiento de los textos estudiados y configurarse como sujetos discursivos, al mismo tiempo que construyen los  objetos discursivos «ficción» y «memoria» en función de un pasado político determinado.
Representaciones sociales de la juventud en la toma y ocupación del Centro Cultural San Martín
Authors: Zukerfeld Gilda
Published: December 2017

En este artículo nos interesa poner en relación las formas de denominación que aparecieron en los medios de comunicación de las personas que, entre enero y marzo de 2013, acamparon y ocuparon el Centro Cultural San Martín, en la ciudad de Buenos Aires, con la pertenencia a la categoría de jóvenes. Elegimos como corpus tres textos de los días posteriores a la resolución del conflicto: un editorial del diario La Nación del 27 de marzo, una crónica del 25 de marzo del diario Página/12 y un texto informativo del Gobierno de la Ciudad del mismo día. Pretendemos establecer las representaciones (Raiter, 2016) que circulan en los tres medios sobre los que acamparon y por qué estas representaciones pueden ser asociadas a la categoría de joven.Sostenemos como hipótesis que existirá una tensión entre los discursos: ser joven es ser víctima de la represión policial o ser delincuente y esto se manifiesta en los textos con estrategias discursivas diferenciadas: a partir de distintos sistemas de clasificación, por el tipo de procesos asociados a los participantes, a través de las transformaciones en las estructuras básicas de las cláusulas (Hodge y Kress, 1993; Trew, 1979).
Del latín al español. Procesos de (des)agentivación y gramaticalización de las construcciones pasivas e impersonales en crónicas medievales y renacentistas
Authors: Ghio Elsa , Cornú Silvio , Mónaco Fabián
Published: December 2017

Este trabajo se encuadra en un proyecto de mayor alcance que intenta rastrear las variaciones históricas del discurso y los géneros de la historiografía en español desde la perspectiva de la Lingüística Sistémico Funcional (LSF) (Halliday, 1994; Halliday & Matthiessen, 1999; Halliday & Martin, 2003). En trabajos anteriores hemos abordado el estudio de significados ideacionales, interpersonales y textuales en la Estoria de Espanna de Alfonso X (1221–1284), o Primera Crónica General, según edición de Menéndez Pidal. En esta oportunidad nos centraremos en los procesos de desagentivación que se registran en la evolución diacrónica del español en el sistema de ergatividad (causalidad y (des)agentivación), de acuerdo con la concepción sistémico funcional propuesta por Halliday, 1985/1994 y focalizando nuestra atención en algunos prólogos fragmentos de crónicas medievales desde el siglo XIII al XV.

Efficient denial constraint discovery with hydra
Authors: Bleifuß Tobias , Kruse Sebastian , Naumann Felix
Published: December 2017

Denial constraints (DCs) are a generalization of many other integrity constraints (ICs) widely used in databases, such as key constraints, functional dependencies, or order dependencies. Therefore, they can serve as a unified reasoning framework for all of these ICs and express business rules that cannot be expressed by the more restrictive IC types. The process of formulating DCs by hand is difficult, because it requires not only domain expertise but also database knowledge, and due to DCs' inherent complexity, this process is tedious and error-prone. Hence, an automatic DC discovery is highly desirable: we search for all valid denial constraints in a given database instance. However, due to the large search space, the problem of DC discovery is computationally expensive.

We propose a new algorithm H
ydra
, which overcomes the quadratic runtime complexity in the number of tuples of state-of-the-art DC discovery methods. The new algorithm's experimentally determined runtime grows only linearly in the number of tuples. This results in a speedup by orders of magnitude, especially for datasets with a large number of tuples. Hydra can deliver results in a matter of seconds that to date took hours to compute.
Worker recommendation for crowdsourced Q&A services
Authors: Liu Zheng , Chen Lei
Published: December 2017

Worker Recommendation (WR) is one of the most important functions for crowdsourced Q&A services. Specifically, given a set of tasks to be solved, WR recommends each task with a certain group of workers, whom are expected to give timely answers with high qualities. To address the WR problem, recent studies have introduced a number of recommendation approaches, which take advantage of workers' expertises or preferences towards different types of tasks. However, without a thorough consideration of workers' characters, such approaches will lead to either inadequate task fulfillment or inferior answer quality.

In this work, we propose the Triple-factor Aware Worker Recommendation framework, which collectively considers workers' expertises, preferences and activenesses to maximize the overall production of high quality answers. We construct the Latent Hierarchical Factorization Model, which is able to infer the tasks' underlying categories and workers' latent characters from the historical data; and we propose a novel parameter inference method, which only requires the processing of positive instances, giving rise to significantly higher time efficiency and better inference quality. What's more, the sampling-based recommendation algorithm is developed, such that the near optimal worker recommendation can be generated for a presented batch of tasks with considerably reduced time consumption. Comprehensive experiments have been carried out using both real and synthetic datasets, whose results verify the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed methods.
Topoisomerase IIβ Selectively Regulates Motor Neuron Identity and Peripheral Connectivity through Hox/Pbx-Dependent Transcriptional Programs
Authors: Edmond Michaela , Hanley Olivia , Philippidou Polyxeni
Published: December 2017

Vital motor functions, such as respiration and locomotion, rely on the ability of spinal motor neurons (MNs) to acquire stereotypical positions in the ventral spinal cord and to project with high precision to their peripheral targets. These key properties of MNs emerge during development through transcriptional programs that dictate their subtype identity and connectivity; however, the molecular mechanisms that establish the transcriptional landscape necessary for MN specification are not fully understood. Here, we show that the enzyme topoisomerase IIβ (Top2β) controls MN migration and connectivity. Surprisingly, Top2β is not required for MN generation or survival but has a selective role in columnar specification. In the absence ofTop2β, phrenic MN identity is eroded, while other motor columns are partially preserved but fail to cluster to their proper position. InTop2β-/- mice, peripheral connectivity is impaired as MNs exhibit a profound deficit in terminal branching. These defects likely result from the insufficient activation of Hox/Pbx-dependent transcriptional programs asHoxandPbxgenes are downregulated in the absence ofTop2β.Top2βmutants recapitulate many aspects ofPbxmutant mice, such as MN disorganization and defects in medial motor column (MMC) specification. Our findings indicate thatTop2β, a gene implicated in neurodevelopmental diseases such as autism spectrum disorders, plays a critical, cell-specific role in the assembly of motor circuits.

Integrated Drug Discovery in Continuous Flow
Authors: Fleming Gabrielle S. , Beeler Aaron B.
Published: December 2017

There are great opportunities for innovation in the drug discovery process, particularly in the lead development phase. The traditional “design-synthesize-screen” cycle has seen little innovation as a whole despite major advances at each stage, including automated purification and synthesis as well as high throughput biological screening. It could be argued that the hit-to-lead and lead optimization processes remain slow and modular with inefficient flow of information, resulting in a loss of time and money. New flow technologies may provide a promising foundation for developing a continuous integrated small molecule optimization platform that would greatly enhance hit-to-lead and lead optimization programs. Herein, we discuss major developments in integrating synthesis, purification, screening, and machine learning into a single continuous-flow platform and provide some insight into future directions of this field.
The Bricoleur Researcher, Serendipity and Arts-based research.
Authors: Fitzpatrick Esther
Published: December 2017

My work as a critical autoethnographer has been haunted by Elliot Eisner's insistence that arts-based research should find a place of its own and not adhere to the scientific method. I have found that the more I worked as a Bricoleur researcher, using arts-based methods, the more I came to understand that there is no need to find a place, but rather return. I argue here that as arts-based researchers the notion of serendipity and the role of a bricoleur, are useful to make sense of embodied, sensory, and at times messy, research processes.
Researching Ngā Kōti Rangatahi –Youth Courts on Marae: Koia te Hāngaitanga?: That’s the Right Way?
Authors: Black Stella Aroha , Kidd Jacquie , Thom Katey , Mills Alice , McIntosh Tracey , Quince Khylee
Published: December 2017

Researching in a complex-cultured space that exists to help vulnerable young people has illuminated both tensions and rare insights for our research team. The project aimed to explore Ng? K?ti Rangatahi,[1] which are youth courts that take place on marae (tribal meeting places). The focus of this paper is the preliminary work spanning five years  that needed to take place to ensure the protection of young people and for the research to find its place within, between and across spaces occupied by M?ori,[2] the p?keh?[3] legal system and both p?keh? and M?ori academic research conventions. The work we needed to do before we could begin the work of researching included doing the work of forming the right team, whakawhanaungatanga (building relationships), making time for kanohi kitea hui (face to face meetings) and the development of the research questions. At the same time, we attempted to walk two paths cognisant of the need of doing things the right way. One was exacting and was based on meeting the orthodox written legal, ethical and academic requirements to conduct research. The other, can be viewed as  pragmatic and its unwritten less structured and rule like approach more flexible and adaptable but equally exacting in determining how marae engagement and consultation should be carried out (Gallagher 2008). This paper offers insights into the strengths and challenges of developing a uniquely kaupapa Maori methodology for conducting research within a marae domain when it is occupied by a foreign legal concept.

 

[1] Ng? is the plural form of te meaning the, for the purpose of this paper ng? refers a sample of K?ti Rangatahi marae sites researched in this project (n=4). The use of Te can refer to a single rangatahi court or all fourteen currently in operation, the use of te will depend on the context.

[2] M?ori are the indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand.

[3]We struggled to find the right word to describe the legal system. It is based on the Parliamentary system which was introduced at the time of European settlement and is largely consistent with the systems in place in the UK and Australia. We considered western and dominant as descriptors, but ultimately decided to use p?keh?, the M?ori term to describe non-M?ori peoples. This was a political as well as a pragmatic decision as we grappled with privilege, domination and colonisation in our research space.
Ethical Procedures? A Critical Intervention: The sacred, the profane, and the planet
Authors: Tomaselli Keyan
Published: December 2017

Issues relating to ethical clearance, how these procedures relate to very different ontologies, ways of making sense,conditions of existence, and the ideological implications thereof are critically discussed.   Written as an invited intervention, the author takes readers through a variety of paradigms: indigenous approaches involving the sacred and the profane, instrumentalization of research; multispeciesism and research as a lived practice. Comments are offered on the nature of science and some questions are posed on the contradictions of ethical practices that readers encounter. The method is eclectic, read through a Peirceian pragmatism, and the outcome proposes relationality rather than the inevitability of discrete findings. Some conclusions are offered on the geographical distribution of populations sampled.
Finite-element analysis of arching in highway piled embankments subjected to moving vehicle loads
Authors: Zhuang Y. , Wang K. Y.
Published: December 2017

This paper presents a simplified finite-element model, based on which the arching in highway piled embankments subjected to moving vehicle loads is investigated. The analyses demonstrated that the pile spacing was a more sensitive factor than embankment height, whose increase from 2·0 to 3·0 m led to a 60–68% increase of the normalised maximum settlement at the base of the embankment. The effect of moving vehicle loads was of particular interest, increasing the normalised maximum settlement and vertical stress at the base of the embankment by approximately 23% and 19%, respectively, compared to the static situation. The influence height of soil arching related to the pile spacing and embankment height was investigated, and showed that the vertical extent of arching was within a normalised distance of 2·0 from the base of the embankment. Factors of the embankment properties – that is, elastic modulus, friction angle, dilation angle and cohesion – were examined and showed that the cohesion was a most sensitive factor, whose increase from 1 to 10 kPa reduced the normalised maximum settlement and vertical stress by approximately 56% and 42%, respectively. Also shown was that the increase in the velocity of a moving vehicle from 30 to 120 km/h slightly increased the normalised maximum settlement and vertical stress by approximately 9% and 10%, respectively. Finally, a modified analytical method was developed by considering the additional vertical stress induced by moving vehicle loads based on the Boussinesq equation, whose solution was found to be in good agreement with the finite-element results.
A client’s perspective of design for manufacture and assembly in the UK water industry
Authors: Trinder Lyndon , Browne John , Brocklebank Kieran
Published: December 2017

UK water companies are under increasing pressure from regulators, customers and tightening legislation to deliver more for less. The design for manufacture and assembly (DFMA) has proven to deliver efficiencies in other sectors including construction and manufacturing. Faced with increasing financial constraints, many water industry companies are now looking to gain the benefits of DFMA. A study was undertaken to summarise the processes adopted by one of the UK’s largest water companies to achieve the benefits of DFMA. The company sees DFMA as an efficiency strategy in delivering its investment programme. To enable, lead and drive this strategy, the company implemented a client-led DFMA change programme supported by collaboration with key supply partners including contractors, consultants and suppliers. DFMA forms part of a wider strategic shift at the company comprising better digital data management and a design-and-build contract strategy. These changes will drive efficiencies across the investment programme and optimise the future operation and whole-life cost of the company’s asset base. This paper describes the company’s strategic shift to a DFMA delivery model and culture. It covers the who, what, why and how of the DFMA programme.

El legado político-intelectual de Eric Hobsbawm : Historias globales desde arriba y desde abajo
Authors: Lao Montes Agustín
Published: December 2017

Escribir historias globales no es solo hilar argumentos en una narrativa historiográfica, sino también accionar para cambiar el mundo a través de una praxis transformativa. En este breve artículo, no pretendemos hacer un balance del legado de un gigante intelectual, con una obra tan prolífica, versátil y variada, como fue Eric Hobsbawm, pero sí presentar una reflexión general sobre su trabajo que combinó orgánicamente teoría, historia y praxis política. Pensar críticamente su legado implica trascender la simple hagiografía y celebración de su enorme estatura intelectual, para reconocer no solo sus grandes virtudes sino también sus ambigüedades, problemas y contradicciones, lo cual intentaremos hacer en este ensayo.

La actuación de la mujer indígena guaraní kaiowá en las reinvindicaciones territoriales
Authors: Pacheco Isabela Stefanes
Published: December 2017

Este artículo tiene por objetivo abordar el tema de la presencia de las mujeres indígenas en los procesos de reivindicaciones de sus territorios tradicionales. Hace hincapié en que las demandas indígenas y las movilizaciones por sus derechos no son nuevas. A lo largo del siglo XX, han protagonizado sucesivas demandas en defensa de sus tierras y particularmente desde 1980, pusieron en marcha un poderoso proceso de rearticulación social y político, con el fin de obtener el reconocimiento como pueblos étnicamente diferenciados. La entrada de las mujeres indígenas en la arena política, aunque implica importantes avances, es un proceso complejo, pues ha dependido entre otros factores de la dicotomía entre tradición y modernidad y, por otro lado, de las políticas indigenistas. Utilizamos como caso de estudio el proceso en el que viven las mujeres guaraní kaiowá del Estado de Mato Grosso del Sur, Brasil.

Este ensayo no quiere ser, de modo alguno, un manifiesto del movimiento feminista ni una representación de las mujeres como víctimas o heroínas. Simplemente toma en cuenta la frase: movimientos de mujeres. Mujeres imaginadas juntas en movimiento, una daza de liberación, una lucha por sus derechos.

‘A Peaceful Path to’ Healthy Bodies: The Biopolitics of Ebenezer Howard’s Garden City
Authors: Clevenger Samuel Martin , Andrews David Lawrence
Published: December 2017

Recent renewed discussions of the garden city as a “developmental model for the present and foreseeable future” (Stern, Fishman, & Tilove, 2013) have prompted us to reflect upon its endurance as an agent of spatial and urban reform. Looking to extend the established garden city literature, we argue the history of Ebenezer Howard’s community model should be reexamined as a cultural history of body and environmental politics. In this commentary, we explicate how Howard’s garden city model served as a spatial vehicle for installing the biopolitical agendas of Victorian reformers keen to “civilize” working class bodies in the service of British industrial and imperial power. This entails a brief examination of the biopolitical dimensions of garden city history, keying on the prescribed restructuring of urban life and the concomitant “regeneration” of working class bodies within and through garden city designs. Our aim is to challenge scholars, planners, and policymakers of the garden city present, to consider the ways the garden city was historically planned to reproduce the cultural, spatial, and biopolitical relations of Western capitalism.
Variación lingüística interxeracional na Illa de Ons (Bueu). Seseo
Authors: Dopazo Entenza José
Published: December 2017

A Illa de Ons, desde comezos do século XIX ata o seu despoboamento na década de 1970, tivo unha importante comunidade de fala que desenvolveu características e peculiaridades lingüísticas. Tras o éxodo da súa poboación cara ás penínsulas máis próximas (O Salnés e O Morrazo), as persoas máis novas presentaron unha maior permeabilidade coas falas dos lugares de destino. As últimas xeracións son as que máis influencia tiveron, tanto do ambiente en que viven, coma do estándar do galego e do castelán. O modelo de tempo aparente permite achegarse á mudanza da comunidade de fala da Illa de Ons a través de tres xeracións para describir as fricativas que empregan os seus falantes (apical, laminal e interdental), así como as dependencias que mostren das variables sexo, nivel de estudos, lingua e nivel socioeconómico. Para tal fin conto con 24 gravacións transcritas cun total de 32 informantes. O que se observa é que a primeira das xeracións presenta sempre seseo, alternando entre apical e laminal (con predominancia deste último). A segunda ten unha maior vacilación canto á presenza ou non do seseo, sendo o apical o que máis aparicións mostra dentro desta modalidade. Por último, a terceira das xeracións presenta maioritariamente a fricativa interdental, por tanto, non hai apenas casos de seseo e, en caso de o empregaren, é de tipo apical.
Unha mirada cara a u e onde n’As Cantigas de Santa María: un traballo cuantitativo
Authors: Gravely Brian
Published: December 2017

A variabilidade lingüística dos adverbiais u e onde é unha das diferenzas máis excepcionais no galego-portugués. Aquí pretendo analizar de xeito cuantitativo os usos de ambos os adverbios, fixándome tanto na variación ortográfica coma na variación semántica. A miña análise baséase nunha das coleccións máis grandes das composicións líricas da Idade Media, As Cantigas de Santa María, e probo que os usos específicos de u e onde documentados neste período para o galego-portugués marcaban os usos orixinais das respectivas variantes do latín.

Avaliação das diretrizes e ações do Plano de Mobilidade da cidade de Passo Fundo de acordo com a Lei n° 12.587/2012
Authors: Saraiva Paola Pol , Santiago Alina Gonçalves , Ribeiro Lauro André
Published: December 2017

O agravamento dos problemas relacionados à mobilidade urbana traz à tona uma série de desafios para pensadores e corpo técnico das cidades. É de fundamental importância analisar, refletir e avaliar a consistência das políticas públicas voltadas à mobilidade, a fim de mensurar sua efetividade e aplicabilidade, bem como a coerência entre as políticas nacionais e as locais. Neste contexto, desde o ano de 2014 a cidade de Passo Fundo possui um Plano de Mobilidade, focado em ações e estratégias de curto, médio e longo prazo para melhoria da mobilidade local. Sendo assim, o presente estudo tem como objetivo principal analisar as diretrizes e ações do Plano de Mobilidade Urbana da cidade de Passo Fundo, a fim de avaliar sua compatibilidade com os princípios, diretrizes e objetivos da Lei Nacional n° 12.587/2012- Lei de Mobilidade Urbana, bem como compreender como as ações em nível local são influenciadas pelas políticas nacionais. Além disso, objetiva-se compreender como o processo de urbanização influenciou na mobilidade da cidade de Passo Fundo. A metodologia utilizada foi o levantamento documental de leis e regulamentos oficiais dedicados à mobilidade urbana das escalas nacional até a local bem como o estudo de caso da cidade analisada. Os resultados mostraram que há conformidade entre a Lei Nacional 12.587/2012 e o Plano Municipal de Mobilidade, com algumas lacunas, como a ausência de diretrizes voltadas ao uso de energias mais limpas. Nota-se, porém, que há uma grande distância entre boa parte das diretrizes locais e a aplicabilidade das mesmas na cidade, já que algumas requerem grandes investimentos.
La Bioética una razón para ver la vida con otros ojos
Authors: Salas Francy Hollminn
Published: December 2017

La bioética es el campo donde se reflexiona, analiza y vela por la supervivencia del ser humano, el deber ser, lo que se debe hacer; esto se encuentra íntimamente relacionado con el desarrollo humano. En este aspecto la bioética se tendría que tener en cuenta desde  el proceso de la sociedad, a partir del desarrollo económico, cómo mejora de manera integral las condiciones de vida desde el acceso de las personas a los sistemas de salud y educación, plenas libertades políticas y culturales entre otros elementos. Por esto, la bioética es una razón para ver la vida con otros ojos; el concepto de sentido de vida como guía en el camino de la existencia que orienta la acción. A partir de esto, se puede incluir en la vida de cada persona, dando sentido y significado a las actividades diarias.

El correcto funcionamiento de la administración pública: fundamento de incriminación de los delitos vinculados a la corrupción pública
Authors: Chanjan Documet Rafael H.
Published: December 2017

El presente estudio pretende efectuar un análisis político-criminal y dogmático penal de la intervención del Derecho penal en el ámbito de los delitos contra la administración pública, de tal manera que se examine la legitimidad del Derecho penal en la prevención de la corrupción pública. En ese sentido, se demostrará que este tipo de delitos no busca sancionar las meras desobediencias a la autoridad o infracciones de deberes y principios éticos funcionariales, sino fundamentalmente asegurar que la función pública misma cumpla las finalidades sociales de carácter prestacional constitucionalmente rece la tutela penal en la medida en que es el instrumento a través del cual el Estado hace llegar de manera igualitaria los servicios públicos, como educación, salud, seguridad, etc., a los ciudadanos, posibilitando el disfrute efectivo de sus derechos fundamentales. Sobre esta base, se mostrará cómo es que el correcto funcionamiento de la administración pública es el bien jurídico genérico, de naturaleza colectiva, o ratio legis en los delitos vinculados a la corrupción en el ámbito público.
Un acercamiento a las marcas animadas
Authors: Leyva Salazar Gretell
Published: December 2017

Se vislumbra que las aún novedosas marcas compuestas por imágenes en movimiento puedan gozar de mayor aceptación en un futuro cercano. Es por ello por lo que este trabajo tiene como objetivo realizar un acercamiento a la figura de las marcas animadas, también conocidas como marcas en movimiento o de multimedia. Se propone centrar el análisis en la viabilidad jurídica para su protección, el reconocimiento internacional del que gozan en diferentes latitudes, algunas observaciones respecto a la forma en que pueden cumplir los requisitos de representación gráfica y distintividad para el registro marcario, así como una breve referencia a las potencialidades para la protección de estas marcas en Cuba.
