Predictable well performance is a key factor for the economic development of unconventional reservoirs including tight sands, tight carbonates and shales. A factory approach to developing unconventional reservoirs has resulted in unpredictable and highly variable well performance, much of which has been uneconomic. Minimizing the uncertainty in production forecasting and reservoir simulation necessitates an accurate model, which captures the interaction of induced hydraulic fractures with existing natural fractures. One method to achieve this is by using a 3G workflow, which leverages the synthesis of geophysical and geological information through geomechanical techniques to model the hydraulic fracturing of unconventional reservoirs.

A complete workflow is presented for modeling and simulation of unconventional reservoirs, which incorporates the characterization of natural fractures and their interaction with hydraulic fracture stimulation. The 3G workflow is applied to an unconventional well in the Wolfcamp Shale, Permian Basin. The geomechanical modeling results are exported to a standard commercial numerical reservoir simulator using two different approaches; strain volume and constrained asymmetric hydraulic fractures. A third reservoir simulation case is created in which commonly used symmetric hydraulic fractures are generated without any external geomechanical model. An automated history matching tool is used to find the hydraulic fracture parameters for this over simplistic and unrealistic case. The production forecast and pressure depletion profiles are compared for all three cases. The proposed unconventional modeling workflow is not only fast but also significantly reduces uncertainty in the reservoir simulation results, improving reliability of the production forecast as well as the pressure depletion profile. These constrained simulations provide the information necessary to make better decisions in field development planning.

Gas migration through cement columns has been an industry challenge for many years. Formation gas/influx can migrate through the cement column resulting in gas being present at the surface. To overcome gas migration on existing wells, remedial jobs are executed, which requires detailed engineering and testing prior field deployment.

The objective of this paper is to detail the effort and experimental work that took place to use different polymer resin systems in Saudi Arabia gas wells. The two polymer resin systems are differentiated by their main component, either epoxy resin or polyester resin. The epoxy resin system is prepared by mixing an epoxy resin with an aromatic amine curing agent while the polyester resin system is prepared by mixing polyester resin with norpol peroxide curing agent, filler, and silicon dioxide. This study is the first to assess the performance of two different types of polymer resin systems and evaluate their remedial operations according to the authors’ best knowledge. In addition, this paper discusses operational challenges that may occur when using each type of polymer resin system.

Lab tests were conducted to measure the thickening time, the rheological properties, compressive strength, and limitations for each polymer resin system. The tests suggest that a maximum temperature of 225°F and 275°F should be maintained when using the epoxy and polyester polymer resin systems, respectively.

Based on the study, the epoxy resin system is easier to control as it is composed of only two components unlike the polyester resin system, which is comprised of several components. The lab study suggests operational recommendations to increase the probability of success of the polymer resin systems.
On the Edge of Chaos: Complexity Offering Value Expectations on O&G Projects
Authors: Ziadat WaEL , Kirkham Richard , Gardiner Paul
Published: June 2017

Oil and gas drilling schemes are inherently complex systems comprising different technical disciplines and multiple interconnected, globally diverse stakeholders, operating within a dynamic environmental and legislative environment. This presents numerous challenges to traditional project management which assumes a very ‘reductionist lens’ and which fails to account for the impact of dynamic internal and external forces on the ‘soft’ boundaries of the project domain. Oil and gas projects are characterized by extreme difficulty in predicting outcomes and system behaviors and, at the tails of the distribution of events, ‘black-swans’ do occur. This increases project and business risk for stakeholders and affects value creation and appropriation opportunities.

The paper argues that a holistic understanding of oil and gas drilling projects is necessary to account for the experiences, politics, human interactions, emergence and complex behavior of individuals and teams, both internal and external to the project environment. Experience and case studies will be discussed and challenged to uncover if this complexity is one of the reasons why projects sometimes fail to deliver sustainable value outcomes to clients. Then, through exploring complexity theory, we will attempt to understand the importance of understanding and coping with the emergent behavior of systems, using the theoretical ‘edge of chaos’ as a metaphor for ‘highly complex projects’. By understanding complexity (as distinct from attempting to quantify it), the authors suggest that our existing ‘bodies of knowledge’ in project management may require a significant renovation to improve project outcomes, the value expectations that clients have and to contribute to long term sustainable and competitive growth for the industry.
Clayey Sandstone Rocks Integrity after Flooding with High pH Chelating Agent EOR Solutions
Authors: Mahmoud Ahmed Abdulhamid , Al-Hashim Hasan S.
Published: June 2017

Chemical flooding of sandstone reservoirs having different types and contents of clays and non-clay minerals requires special attention to understand the interaction between the injected fluids and the reservoir rock minerals.

Four coreflood experiments were conducted in this study using two different sandstone samples (Gray Berea and Gray Bandera) with different clay contents (8 - 12wt%). The core samples were characterized through XRD, SEM and NMR firstly before coreflood experiments to identify the presence and distribution of the different minerals inside the pore system and after the flooding experiments to evaluate the rock integrity after interaction of these minerals with the injected EDTA solutions. The effluent was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) and ionic chromatography (IC) analyses to study the exchange ability of the different cations between sandstone cores and EDTA solutions. The core samples permeability was also measured before and after the flooding experiments to study the compatibility of the different clays with different concentrations of EDTA solutions.

The EDTA solutions with concentrations up to 10wt% were found to be compatible with Gray Berea sandstone as indicated by the permeability enhancement, NMR results and the pressure drop during the flooding tests; which indicates that there was no clay minerals swelling or fine migration occurred or nonclay minerals dissolution duo to the interaction of Gray Berea/EDTA solutions. On the other hand, EDTA solutions of concentrations higher than 5wt% were found to be incompatible with Gray Bandera samples as indicated by the high permeability enhancement duo to the interaction of EDTA with Ankerite mineral. The pressure drop along both Gray Berea and Gray Bandera core samples during the flooding experiments confirmed the stability of the different clays with EDTA solutions.

This study focused on evaluating the interaction of the sandstone rock surfaces with the high pH EDTA chelating agent solutions and the ability of this chemical to chelate the multivalent cations from clay minerals and its effect on the integrity of different sandstone rocks.

Soil Erosion as Affected by Freeze‐Thaw Regime and Initial Soil Moisture Content
Authors: Liu Hongyuan , Yang Yang , Zhang Keli , Sun Chuanlong
Published: June 2017

Core Ideas

Freeze‐thaw generally increased detachment capacity by an average of 36.5%.

The impact of freeze‐thaw on soil erosion was affected by initial moisture content.

Detachment capacity and rill erodibility was increased at 30 and 45% moisture.

Soil erosion was reduced at 20% moisture content after 5 or 10 freeze‐thaw cycles.

The effect of freeze‐thaw exponentially increased with the freeze‐thaw cycles.

To quantify the effects of freeze‐thaw (F‐T) on rill erosion, scouring test using a tilting flume (5 m length, 0.4 m width) was conducted. Typical black soil in Northeast China was tested. Five F‐T cycles (FTCs; 0, 1, 3, 5 and 10), four gravimetric moisture contents (θg; 10, 20, 30 and 45%), and seven flow shear stresses (τ; evenly spaced from 1.90 to 14.59 Pa) were examined. The soil samples subjected to 0 FTC were termed as the unfrozen control group. The results showed that the F‐T processes increased soil detachment capacity (Dc) by an average of 36.5% across all experimental conditions together. The effects of F‐T on Dc varied with initial θg. To eliminate the consolidation impact induced by water spraying, the Dc ratio (RDc) between each F‐T group and the corresponding unfrozen control group was calculated. This ratio was found to exponentially increase with FTCs, with an R2 of 0.94. The rill erodibility (Kr) increased with FTCs only at initial θg of 30 and 45%. Soil critical shear stress (τc) of the experimental group was significantly higher relative to the unfrozen control group and reached its maximum after 10 FTCs at the initial θg of 20%. These findings help to understand the effects of FTCs on soil erosion and thereby to improve soil erosion models, e.g. modifying rill erodibility parameters.
A Népességtudományi Kutatóintézet története és a népesedéspolitika a Kádár-rendszerben
Authors: Bódy Zsombor
Published: June 2017

A cikk a magyar demográfia történetét vizsgálja a Kádár-korszakban elsősorban a politikai hatalom és a szakma kölcsönös kapcsolatai, illetve a korszak népesedéspolitikai intézkedései szempontjából. Bár a demográfia az 1950-es évek végén, a ’60-as évek elején intézményesült tudományként, valójában az államszocializmust megelőző időszak tudományos hagyományaira épített. Az NKI alapítása és rendszerváltásig tartó működésének története azt mutatja, hogy a demográfia rendelkezett korlátozott szakmai autonómiával – és kitűnő nemzetközi beágyazottsággal – az 1960-as, ’70-es és ’80-as években. A demográfia legfontosabb hazai tudományos műhelyei nem láttak el előkészítő feladatokat a pártállami család-, és népesedéspolitikai döntésekkel kapcsolatban, s többnyire nem is tudták befolyásolni a döntéshozókat, bár egyes demográfusokban meg lett volna erre az igény. A tanulmány bemutatja, hogy a legfelső szintű döntéshozókat milyen szempontok vezették a népesedéspolitikai döntések meghozatalánál.
Investigating effect of socio-economic and climatic variables in urban water consumption prediction via Gaussian process regression approach
Authors: Roushangar Kiyoumars , Alizadeh Farhad
Published: June 2017

Due to the importance of forecasting urban water demand (WD), the present study investigated the capability of Gaussian process regression (GPR) using different features as input data. WD could be represented as a function of various variables such as climatic, socioeconomic, institutional and management factors to understand it better. Therefore, in the present study, GPR was used to predict daily WD by taking advantage of several socio-economic and climatic variables for Hamadan city, located in the west of Iran. The selected variables were comprised of daily weather data such as rainfall (R), maximum temperature (Tmax), mean temperature (Tmean), min temperature (Tmin) and relative humidity, Socioeconomic variables such as average monthly water bill (MWB), population (P), number of households (NH), gross national product, and inflation rate (I). The results indicated that GPR could predict the daily WD accurately in terms of statistical evaluations criteria. Sensitivity analysis among various climatic and socio-economic data showed the best input structure in water consumption prediction via GPR. Accordingly, the results approved the substantial impression of WD with three day-lag, I, MWB and Tmax as the input dataset.

Authors: Sousa Gerson de
Published: June 2017

Este artigo discute e analisa a produção de sentido do jornalismo no período de 1990 a partir dois pontos: a identidade do sujeito negro, em sua relação histórica por movimentos sociais, e a representação do jornal paulistano, Folha de S. Paulo. As abordagens do veículo permitem identificar o tratamento concedido aos negros em 1990, de forma a verificar se a representação do veículo está em conformidade ou disparidade com a identidade dos sujeitos. A valorização histórica do jornalismo é o principal ponto de análise, e direciona o trabalho ao próprio estudo da história da profissão, já que caminha em direção à verificação do cumprimento de sua responsabilidade social. A análise é baseada na teoria dos Estudos Culturais e no método de Análise Cultural, de forma a valorizar a contextualização e as vivências particulares no processo comunicativo. A investigação dos textos jornalísticos revela o conflito de memórias existente e de que forma o jornalismo contribuiu para a atual situação de desigualdade desses sujeitos.

The mass as the beginning of a new society: the philosophy of social organization of utopian socialism
Authors: Venancio Rafael Duarte Oliveira
Published: June 2017

O presente artigo deseja mostrar que, para os principais autores do Socialismo Utópico, o conceito de massa é o princípio de organização para a sociedade politicamente desejada. Através da análise comparativa entre as ideias de Conde de Saint-Simon, Charles Fourier e Robert Owen, é possível notar que, para essa corrente de pensamento, a massa existe aqui ora como representante da forma social que os pobres devem estar para buscar sua emancipação social, ora como encarnação simbólica da cooperação, a verdadeira sabedoria social tal como é bem sintetizado pelo pensamento oweniano.

Authors: Simic Sanja , Pavlovic Jasna , Nikolic Predrag , Vujacic Amila , Vukicevic Vladanka , Jovanovic Radovan
Published: June 2017

Background/Aim. Many authors find that impacted maxillary canines is associated with missing and peg-shaped lateral incisor. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of peg-shaped and missing lateral incisor in subjects with impacted maxillary canines, and compare the size of maxillary lateral incisor on the side with palatally impacted canines and on the opposite side of the jaw where there is no impaction. Methods. The study included 64 patients with 80 impacted maxillary canines (23 males and 41 females, mean age 16.3). For each maxillary unerupted canine, precisely correct localization and classification into groups was done. We analyzed the morphology of the lateral incisor (normal, atypical) and frequency of missing of lateral maxillary incisors with canine impaction. Then, from the mentioned examinees sample with the maxillary canine teeth, a subgroup was formed. The criteria for selection were those with unilateral palatally impacted canines (33 subjects, 22 females and 11 males, mean age 17.8 years). The linear variables of the maxillary lateral incisor were measured by using digital measurements tools. The t-test was used to test the differences between the groups. Results. Normal morphology of the lateral incisors was found in 72% of the subjects with the impacted canines, 11.2% of the subjects had the peg-shaped lateral incisors, 6% had a bilateral and 4% had unilateral deficiency of lateral incisors. In the subgroup of the patients with unilateral palatal impaction, the middle value of the length of the lateral incisors was 1.9 mm shorter and the middle value of the width of the lateral incisors was smaller by 0.9 mm when comparing to the control group. Conclusion. The frequency of the deficiency of lateral incisors was statistically significantly higher in the group with palatal canine impaction. The maxillary lateral incisors on the side with palatally impacted canines were smaller than those on the side where there was no impaction.

Background/Aim. The most frequent form of sternal defects is a single foramen, usually located at the distal half of the sternal body, with prevalence that varies among different ethnic populations. Clinical importance of these defects arises from various diagnostic and therapeutic sternal treatments and close location of heart, lungs and other vital organs of the chest cavity. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and morphometric characteristics of the sternal midline foramen in the population of central Serbia. Methods. The multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) chest images of 422 patients of both genders were analyzed. The radiological imaging was performed on 64- slice MDCT scanner (Aquilion 64, Toshiba, Japan). All scans were performed in the axial plane, with subsequent multiplanar reconstruction (MPR). Due to the angulation of the sternal body coronal curved-planar, the images were obtained in order to show the whole length of the sternum and the vertical diameter of the sternal foramen. The measurements were done using the commercially available software (Imaging Software ver. 4.1.14.0, Vital-Images). Results. The solitary foramen, located in the distal segment of the sternal body, was detected in 24 patients, representing 5.9% of the observed population with slightly higher prevalence in males. The average size of foramen was 3.9 ? 4.2 mm. The mean distance from the skin was 12.7 ? 3.3 mm, the distance from skin to pericardium was on average 37.3 ? 8.2 mm, while the average distance from skin to pleura was 25 ? 5.9 mm. The average depth of foramen 8.7 ? 2 mm, while the mean distance from the posterior surface of foramen to pericardium was 12.7 ? 9.1 mm. Conclusion. The results presented in this paper confirmed the prevalence of 5.9% regarding the midline sternal foramen in the observed population. Serious complications of the sternal puncture could be prevented by prior MDCT imaging.

Aldeas indias entre la antropología y la historia
Authors: Dube Saurabh
Published: June 2017

El presente ensayo considera la aldea en India como un concepto y una entidad a la vez. Por un lado, los múltiples mapeos y las agudas ambivalencias que rodean a la aldea, a los que doy seguimiento, reflejan el pasado y el presente de la antropología y la sociología de India, incluidos los vínculos disciplinarios con el Estado y la nación. Por el otro, las articulaciones definidas y las expresiones discretas de las aldeas de la región de Chhattisgarh, en la India central, actúan como una suerte de prisma que refleja y refracta los diseños y los detalles del imperio y la modernidad, del proyecto misionero y un cristianismo vernáculo, del derecho (y el orden) oficial y las legalidades (e ilegalidades) cotidianas. En su conjunto, este ensayo aborda las aldeas como interpretadas y habitadas a través de convenciones de significado y práctica de mundos académicos y sociales, mundos que se unen y se separan. En este sentido, la aldea insinúa más que un objeto de entendimiento, una condición de conocimiento.El ensayo se convierte en una labor de unión de retazos que hilvana y a la vez desentraña patrones de la aldea en los tejidos históricos y etnográficos de la India del siglo xx. Esta labor consta de tres partes, cada una entretejida con la otra de manera que las tres se superponen y al mismo tiempo se amplían una a otra. Como punto de partida, planteo ciertas cuestiones críticas sobre el pasado y el presente de la aldea en la antropología de India, preguntas que establecen el tono para los siguientes pasos. A continuación, subrayo el lugar de la aldea en procesos de engranamiento evangélico. Por último abordo la preponderancia de la aldea en los involucramientos entre la ley colonial moderna y las legalidades populares contemporáneas. Así, tomando como base aspectos de mis escritos anteriores y mi investigación en curso, exploro la aldea como expresión de diseños amplios y texturas íntimas de conocimiento antropológico y configuraciones disciplinarias, imperio y modernidad, cristianismo y conversión, y Estado y nación, y a la vez como ilustración de ellos.Todo ello se vincula con otro objetivo más de la labor de unión de retazos. Dicho propósito es amplio y franco, y de hecho está motivado críticamente a su propia manera. Registrar la manera en la que los materiales, los objetos y los temas de investigación —en este caso, documentos para el estudio de las aldeas pero también las aldeas mismas, especialmente sus habitantes y aquellos que las estudian (o estudian en ellas)— se encuentran, se pierden y se recuperan. La unión de retazos revela asimismo la contingencia que marca los emprendimientos académicos. Enfrentar tal contingencia es abandonar la arrogancia de una academia hipermuscular que se hace pasar por ciencia desinteresada, que siempre sabe dónde ha iniciado y ya sabe cómo terminará. En lugar de ello, se trata de sondear prudentemente la interpretación académica cambiante de los objetos, los temas y la investigación, sin dejar al último nuestros propios esfuerzos.

Gráficas y relatos. Cómo evolucionaron las vocaciones sacerdotales en la Arquidiócesis de México, 1930-2000
Authors: Padilla Pineda Mario T.
Published: June 2017

Este artículo se propone hacer una contribución al estudio de las vocaciones sacerdotales en la Iglesia católica y los factores sociales que las condicionan. Para esto, recurre al uso de técnicas cuantitativas y cualitativas de recopilación de información y análisis, relacionando la representación gráfica de la evolución numérica de los sacerdotes con los relatos de los sacerdotes acerca de cómo surgió su vocación. Al proceder de esta manera, se ha podido identificar que uno de los factores relacionados con la declinación de las vocaciones al sacerdocio en la Arquidiócesis de México es que las familias católicas han perdido su función como transmisoras de la fe e incubadoras de la vocación al sacerdocio.

A POLÍTICA CRIMINAL AMERICANA E SEU PAPEL NA CRIAÇÃO DAS CORTES DE DROGAS: INFLUÊNCIAS HISTÓRICAS SOFRIDAS PELO PROGRAMA DE JUSTIÇA TERAPÊUTICA
Authors: Fensterseifer Daniel Pulcherio
Published: June 2017

O presente estudo discute a criação do Programa de Justiça Terapêutica no Brasil a partir de um enfoque histórico, partindo-se da política criminal de drogas americana e seu desenvolvimento ao longo das décadas, bem como sua influência sobre as políticas brasileiras. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica para a qual foram eleitos dois autores americanos como referência principal acerca da política criminal americana sobre drogas, bem como outras obras relacionadas ao tema que contribuíssem na discussão do tema proposto por David Garland e Jonathan Simon e que pudessem explicar o paralelismo com o contexto brasileiro ao passar do tempo. Pode-se afirmar que a política criminal brasileira sobre drogas sofreu, e continua sofrendo, grande influência das políticas americanas. Vislumbra-se que inúmeras medidas tomadas nos Estados Unidos foram reproduzidas fielmente no Brasil, com alguns anos de atraso, causando consequências semelhantes, especialmente aquelas que se mostram confirmadoras de um sistema criminal seletivo e de reforço da exclusão social. Recentemente, entretanto, surge uma ideia que aparenta destoar dessas políticas negativas e busca minimizar os efeitos da aplicação do direito penal enquanto reforça o tratamento do que é apontado como principal fator de uma gama de comportamentos criminosos, qual seja, o uso de drogas. Com o afastamento do sujeito das consequências penais, aproximando-o de um tratamento, as Cortes de Drogas buscam reduzir a criminalidade que até então não vinha sendo combatida de forma adequada, considerando as finalidades propostas pelas políticas criminais adotadas ao longo do tempo.

O estudo demonstra, mediante pesquisas realizadas pelo Conselho Nacional de Justiça que, atualmente, a Fazenda Pública é uma das maiores litigantes do Poder Judiciário e na busca de se reduzir estes processos de forma célere e eficaz para as partes enumera quais seriam os benefícios da aplicação da conciliação nestas causas. Assim, apresenta uma análise dos meios alternativos de solução dos conflitos, especialmente da conciliação, destacando, em seguida, os principais aspectos da Administração Pública para se poder compreender o conceito de Fazenda Pública. Por fim, verifica-se que a aplicação da conciliação é benéfica para todas as partes, que respeita o Princípio da Indisponibilidade do Interesse Público, pois, segundo o Supremo Tribunal Federal, este Princípio, embora seja considerado um dos pilares de todo direito administrativo, pode ter sua aplicação amenizada, bem como que os Princípios da Legalidade, Celeridade e Economia Processual também são respeitados e cumpridos.
O ACESSO À JUSTIÇA NAS ORGANIZAÇÕES SOCIAIS COMPLEXAS COMO CONCRETIZAÇÃO DO PRINCÍPIO DA DIGNIDADE DA PESSOA HUMANA
Authors: Ruiz Ivan Aparecido , Nunes Taís Zanini de Sá Duarte
Published: June 2017

o presente artigo visa retratar a importância dos métodos autocompositivos na sociedade contemporânea, tendo em vista que concedem à pessoa a oportunidade de refletir sobre o conflito de interesses e participar ativamente na solução do mesmo, proporcionando uma verdadeira pacificação social. Dentre os novos direitos provocados pela complexidade de relações da sociedade de massa e rede, o princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana serve de fundamento para o Estado Democrático de Direito, gerando, também, a necessidade de garantir, por meio do acesso à justiça, os direitos fundamentais da pessoa. Aborda-se, de forma sucinta, a origem da sociedade de massa e de rede, bem como algumas das suas implicações sociais resultando, principalmente, na alienação do ser humano, que por algumas décadas acreditou que o Poder Judiciário fosse o detentor do monopólio de solução de conflitos.
SOBERANIA NACIONAL E IMÓVEIS RURAIS

Published: June 2017

A globalização, fenômeno que surgiu ao final do século XX, como resultado do dinamismo do sistema capitalista ao gerar novos e grandes mercados, propicia uma integração global nos aspectos políticos, sociais, culturais e econômicos. Sendo esta última faceta determinante para o sistema. Neste contexto, observa-se a formação de conglomerados de capital apátrida, sempre solícitos à investimentos nos países em desenvolvimento. Estes investimentos buscam assumir a coordenação a jusante e a montante das cadeias produtivas, especialmente no agronegócio. A Soberania nos moldes atuais, segundo os defensores destes investimentos, é um obstáculo à entrada de capitais estrangeiros para compra de terras agrícolas e pode comprometer o desenvolvimento brasileiro, prejudicando a geração de emprego e renda. Todavia, argumentações econômicas e jurídicas contundentes, comprovam a não necessidade da entrada de capitais para investimentos na forma de compra de terras agrícolas. O presente trabalho busca apresentar as justificativas dos defensores da flexibilização sobre a compra de terras agrícolas no Brasil por capital estrangeiro e fundamentar uma contraposição econômica e jurídica a esta flexibilização.

Nesse contexto, o presente trabalho analisará o uso da força preventiva com o intuito de combater o terrorismo, apresentando o Princípio da Responsabilidade de Proteger, a possibilidade de uso da força estabelecida na Carta das Nações Unidas e por fim, as alterações sofridas no cenário internacional após os atentados de 11/09. Ao combater o terrorismo, traz as considerações que não se pode aceitar o uso da legítima defesa como uma capa para os reais interesses por meio da luta do bem comum. Ademais, o uso inadequado do Princípio da Responsabilidade de Proteger para combate ao terrorismo enfraquece um mecanismo de proteção e prevenção de conflitos, o que levou a um enfraquecimento do referido princípio. A regulação do uso da força e a responsabilidade de proteger, bem como as intervenções humanitárias são questões de suma importância para a sociedade internacional, pois buscam o fortalecimento das normas internacionais, levando em consideração a proteção dos direitos humanos.

EL ESTADO-HOSPITAL: CORPORALIDADES ANÁRQUICAS, BIOPOLÍTICA Y VIOLENCIA EN IMPUESTO A LA CARNE DE DIAMELA ELTIT
Authors: Solorza Paola Susana
Published: June 2017

El presente trabajo se propone, a partir del análisis de la novela Impuesto a la carne (2010) de Diamela Eltit, demostrar el modo en que el paradigma biopolítico da lugar a un control excesivo sobre los cuerpos, “legitimando” distintas formas de violencia con el riesgo de caer en una tanatopolítica. La metáfora del hospital, en tanto espacio simbólico asimilable al Estado, remite a la memoria de la dictadura y los años de opresión en Chile. Allí, una madre y una hija, proyectándose en un vínculo simbiótico de fuerzas anárquicas, atentarán contra la estabilidad del Estado-hospitalario, oponiendo una acérrima resistencia.Palabras clave: Biopolítica, tanatopolítica, violencia, Diamela Eltit, Impuesto a la carne.The Hospital-State: Anarchic Corporalities, Biopolitics and Violence in Impuesto a la carne by Diamela EltitAbstract: Focusing on the novel Impuesto a la carne (2010) by Diamela Eltit, this paper analyses the way in which the biopolitical paradigm develops an excessive control over the bodies, “legitimizing” different forms of violence and risking falling into a  thanatopolitics. The metaphor of the hospital –as a symbolic space resembling the State– relates to the memory of the dictatorship and the years of oppression in Chile. In Eltit’s novel, a mother and a daughter, projecting themselves onto the other in a symbiotic relationship of anarchical forces, they will threaten the stability of this “hospital” State, opposing a staunch resistance.Key-words: Biopolitics, thanatopolitics, violence, Diamela Eltit, Impuesto a la carne.

Authors: Costa Mónica Amenedo
Published: June 2017

Las mujeres del siglo XVIII desempeñaron un papel activo en la producción cultural británica. En aquel momento, algunas publicaciones periódicas eran de gran valor, especialmente a la hora de proporcionar información sobre autores y sus obras. Este documento examina la representación de Elizabeth Montagu y de Anna Letitia Barbauld en The Westminster Magazine. El énfasis principal recae en cómo se percibieron y presentaron al público estas dos autoras y en cómo se dio cobertura a su contribución al ámbito literario. Además, se hace hincapié en la influencia de este tipo de publicaciones en las opiniones y percepciones del lector.
La educación de niñas amuzgos en el estado de Oaxaca (México)
Authors: Gramigna Anita
Published: June 2017

Resumen: Este trabajo es un resumen de la investigación realizada durante los años 2010-14 entre el pueblo Amuzgo de San Pedro de Oaxaca3 . El escrito, para el que se utilizan instrumentos etnográficos, se propone como objetivo reflexionar acerca de la formación, los procesos de construcción del conocimiento y sobre el valor cognitivo y epistemológico de la relación (LéviStraus 1978: 48). Proponemos una obra de autohermeneusis, de análisis de la direccionalidad de los puntos de vista, de descubrimiento de los presupuestos implícitos, de verificación de los procesos científicos en la investigación. Por esta razón la nuestra es una aproximación de tipo hermenéutico. The Education of Amusgos Girls in the State of Oxaca (Mexico) Abstract: This essay presents the results of the research we carried out on the Amusgo people of San Pedro, in Oxaca, between 2010 and 2014. This work, for which we use ethnographic instruments, aims to reflect on the formation, on the processes of building knowledge, and on the cognitive and epistemological value of the relationship (Lévi-Straus 1978: 48). We suggest a written piece of auto-interpretation, by analysing the points of view, the implicit premises and the scientific processes of research. For this reason, our study perspective is hermeneutic.
Sorelle di Querelle. Poetesse dell’al-Andalus, trobairitz e poetesse italiane del Duecento e Trecento
Authors: Cerrato Daniele
Published: June 2017

Riassunto: Il dibattito della Querelle des Femmes in Italia si sviluppa soprattutto durante il XV e XVI secolo attraverso vari trattati di autori ed autrici. In realtà l’inizio della Querelle des Femmes si potrebbe far concidere con le poetesse italiane del Duecento e del Trecento. L’articolo analizza come alcuni dei temi presenti nei testi di queste autrici si possono far risalire ad una tradizione di poesia femminile che comprende le poetesse dell’al-Andalus e le trobairitz. Sisters of Querelle. Al-Andalus Women Poets, Trobairitz and Italian Women Poets in the 13th and 14th Centuries Abstract: The debate on the Querelle des Femmes during the 16th and 17th centuries in Italy is based on different male and female authors’ dissertations. This Querelle des Femmes can be traced back to Italian women poets in the 13th and 14th centuries. This paper analyses some topics dealt with by these Italian women poets and studies the features they share with preceding al-Andalusian women poets and trobairitz

Toward a Crip-of-Color Critique: Thinking with Minich's 'Enabling Whom?'
Authors: Kim Jina B
Published: June 2017

Response to Julie Avril Minich, "Enabling Whom? Critical Disability Studies Now," published in Lateral 5.1. Kim elaborates upon a crip-of-color critique, which has possibilities to both criticize structures that inherently devalue humans and to take action to work toward justice. Kim’s final call is to identify and act against the inequalities and harm of academic labor, urging readers to take seriously a “politics of refusal” that might help academics of color survive through alternative collectivities.

Published: June 2017

The present study aims in analyzing the mechanical behavior of natural fiber (abaca) reinforced polymeric composites under dynamic conditions. It is evident from the past research reports that natural fiber offers desirable physico-mechanical properties to the added polymers. In the present research work, abaca fiber is utilized for the preparation of composites due to its promising mechanical properties and resistance to salt water corrosion, its lignin content is 15% and grows up to 3 m. Abaca is extracted from leaf sheath of Manila hemp plant, it is a kind of banana family. Influence of temperature on the mechanical behavior of natural fibers needs to be identified to ensure its usage for high performance applications. Pure and chemically treated abaca fiber based vinyl ester composites are subjected to dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The reason for the chemical treatment of abaca fiber is to enhance its interfacial bonding with base matrix. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis signifies the morphological changes in abaca fiber after chemical treatment. Storage modulus (E') and damping characteristics of abaca fiber reinforced vinyl ester composites are comparatively higher than in neat polymer. In addition, surface treatment of fiber demonstrates significant enhancement in storage modulus compound compared to pure and raw fiber reinforced polymer due to strong physical interaction between fiber and matrix.
Equal-strength precision diffusion bonding of AA6063 aluminum alloy with the surface passivated by a self-assembled monolayer

Published: June 2017

Precision diffusion bonding of aluminum alloy requires good mechanical properties and very low deformation. However, oxidation lowers the quality of the joint. This paper used a self-assembled monolayer, 1-hexyl mercaptan, on the aluminum surface to prevent the secondary oxidation after pre-bonding treatment. An AA6063/Ni/AA6063 sandwich structure joint was intentionally designed and bonded to characterize the effect of the self-assembled monolayer. AA6063/AA6063 joints were diffusion bonded, in which three different pre-bonding surface treatments were used that were as-cleaned, ethanol adsorbed and self-assembled monolayer passivated. With the surface passivated by self-assembled monolayer, there were few voids at the bonding interface. Ductile fracture was observed during tensile testing. The joint had a bond ratio of 97.4% and elongation of 20.4%, which is very close to the base metal and is considered as equal-strength bonding.

Published: June 2017

The Pipeline embolization device (PED) is the most widely used flow diverter in endovascular neurosurgery. In 2011, the device received FDA approval for the treatment of large and giant aneurysms in the internal carotid artery extending from the petrous to the superior hypophyseal segments. However, as popularity of the device grew and neurosurgeons gained more experience, its use has extended to several other indications. Some of these off-label uses include previously treated aneurysms, acutely ruptured aneurysms, small aneurysms, distal circulation aneurysms, posterior circulation aneurysms, fusiform aneurysms, dissecting aneurysms, pseudoaneurysms, and even carotid-cavernous fistulas. The authors present a literature review of the safety and efficacy of the PED in these off-label uses.
