Published: January 2019

Abstract. Under the framework of the modern theory of restoration, this paper shows the experimental results obtained during the structural diagnosis of one of the most important master gates inside the military modern complex of Almeida in Portugal: the inner master gate of Saint Antonio. This master gate was conceived with the aim of supporting the siege of an early modern army, using to this end a masonry framework filled by a natural soil able to absorb the impacts. However, this infill is promoting the disaggregation of the masonry and thus the reduction of its bearing capacity. In order to evaluate the current and future structural behaviour, it is proposed a method able to combine the terrestrial laser scanner with the limit analysis for masonry constructions. The results obtained by this combination shows that the major barrel vault has, in its current conservation state, enough bearing capacity to support an agglomeration of people. However, it is recommended a material restitution in order to recover the contact are between masonry blocks as well as to recover the architectural interpretation of the element.
MODELLING BUILDING COSTS FROM 3D BUILDING MODELS – ESTIMATING THE CONSTRUCTION EFFORT FROM IMAGE-BASED SURFACE MODELS OF DRY-STONE SHEPHERD SHELTERS (KRAS, SLOVENIA)
Authors: Štuhec S. , Verhoeven G. , Štuhec I.
Published: January 2019

Abstract. In the second half of the 19th and early 20th century, sheep shepherds have built dry-stone shelters all over the Slovene Kras (or Karst) region. Despite being made out of stones that are interlocked without the use of any binding material, many of these vernacular constructions survived – even though sometimes only partially – the ravages of time. The fact that over one hundred fifty shepherd shelters are currently known is mainly due to the craftsmanship of their builders and thanks to (and even despite) their present location. A majority of these stone constructions can be found in areas that are nowadays forested, thus shielding them from weather-related or anthropogenic damage (because they are difficult to spot). This paper reports on the geometric documentation of those shelters using a photogrammetric computer vision pipeline, thereby mainly focussing on the difficulties that were encountered during this process. However, such image-based modelling approaches merely yield digital three-dimensional (3D) approximations of the shelters’ surface geometry (along with some sub-optimal colour data). Although these 3D surface models might be suitable to digitally preserve vulnerable vernacular buildings to some extent, they do not magically advance our understanding of them. The second part of this article focuses, therefore, on the extraction of archaeological information from these digital 3D constructions. More specifically, the total amount of stones, the total building time and the building cost regarding caloric energy expenditure are estimated for each of the digitised shelters. Although this assessment of architectural energetics provided useful insight into the building efforts and nutrient uptake of the shepherds, it also revealed many assumptions and shortcomings that often characterise archaeological information extraction from digital 3D models of buildings.
VIRTUALISING AN OTTOMAN FORTRESS – LASER SCANNING AND 3D MODELLING FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTERACTIVE, IMMERSIVE VIRTUAL REALITY APPLICATION

Published: January 2019

Abstract. “A picture is worth a thousand words”: a famous quote about knowledge dissemination but also literally true. The documentation of cultural heritage (CH) monuments is carried out by measurements and photos and stored in 3d models – not by textual information alone. So what could be a more straightforward way to inform the public about CH than visual information? This approach can be extended not only by providing static images or videos from predefined angles but by giving the user the opportunity to interactively explore the virtual representation and interact with the scene. Recent advances in contemporary Virtual Reality (VR) have made it available to more people as prices have dropped. New devices have entered the market so that VR is not limited to VR labs, but is available even at home. With modern head-mounted displays the user can immerse himself in the virtual CH monument to explore and interact with it. Game engines offer tools for rapid development of interactions and help to produce visually appealing worlds.In this paper is presented the generation of a virtual 3D model of Rumeli Hisarı, an Ottoman fortress at the Bosporus in Istanbul, Turkey (Fig. 1) and its processing for data integration into the game engine Unity. The project has been carried out as a co-operation between BİMTAŞ, a company of the Greater Municipality of Istanbul, Turkey and the Photogrammetry & Laser Scanning Lab of the HafenCity University Hamburg, Germany with the aim of a VR application for an immersive and interactive visualisation of the fortress using the VR system HTC Vive. The workflow from data acquisition to VR visualisation, including the necessary programming for navigation, is described. Furthermore, the possible use (including simultaneous multiple users environments) of such a VR visualisation for a CH monument is discussed.
CONSIDERATIONS ON THE USE OF DIGITAL TOOLS FOR DOCUMENTING ANCIENT WALL GRAFFITI
Authors: Valente R. , Barazzetti L. , Previtali M. , Roncoroni F.
Published: January 2019

Abstract. Ancient graffiti are a valuable and constant historical evidence through the human history, regardless from the geographic area or historical period. They can be found on different kinds of surfaces and in different contexts, such as religious building or civic structures, in public or private environments. Their study and comprehension need to be grounded on good and complete documentation techniques. The application of accurate recording methods is even more important for ancient graffiti, for a series of reasons. First of all, their perception is often less immediate than other historical or artistic evidence, and directly depends on external aspects, such as the lighting conditions, and personal skills. Moreover, their interpretation is often challenging also for expert scholars, so as to require both the most objective reproduction possible and the personal interpretation of the scholar. As a case study, several late medieval graffiti scratched on frescos have been documented with digital methods. Results will be presented and discussed. This paper will mainly focus on graffiti scratched on frescos or plaster, and not on petroglyphs, i.e. marks and drawings on rock surfaces.
A COMPARISON BETWEEN TLS AND UAV TECHNOLOGIES FOR HISTORICAL INVESTIGATION
Authors: Valenti R. , Paternò E.
Published: January 2019

Abstract. The architectural and sculptural value of the investigated Cultural Heritage has suggested a variety of possible approaches ranging from the traditional modus operandi to the implementation of innovative technology. The conducted research implemented digital and automatic photogrammetry software using Structure from Motion or SFM. These techniques which involve the convergence of different disciplines, such as Computer Vision and photogrammetry seek to generate 3D models, that is the mathematical representation of the investigated 3D objects. The integration of UAS, photogrammetry and TLS develops 3D models able to provide more detailed information. The main purpose of the present research is to test the potentialities offered by the new survey and 3D processing systems in order to carry out historical analyses and investigations in closed environments and for small scale architecture. Starting from the acquired data, the 3D models of the altars allow a 3D comparison between the works object of study and Pozzo’s treatise, also allowing speculation about their possible relations, providing extraordinary outcomes from the point of view of survey integrated methodologies and from the point of view of historical and geometric interpretation.
Slab Break-offs in the Alpine Subduction Zone
Authors: Kästle Emanuel D. , Rosenberg Claudio , Boschi Lapo , Bellahsen Nicolas , Meier Thomas , El-Sharkawy Amr
Published: January 2019

Abstract. After the onset of plate collision in the Alps, tectonic processes are inferred to have changed dramatically in the Alps: European plate break-offs in various places of the Alpine arc, as well as a subduction polarity reversal in the eastern Alps have been proposed. We review body-wave tomographic studies, compare them to our surface-wave-derived model, and interpret them in terms of slab geometries. We infer that the shallow subducting portion of the European plate is likely detached under both the western and eastern (but not the central) Alps. The Alps-Dinarides transition may be explained by a combination of European and Adriatic subduction. This implies that the deep high-velocity anomaly (> 200 km depth) mapped by tomographers under the eastern Alps is a detached segment of the European plate. The shallower fast anomaly (100–200 km depth) can be ascribed to European or Adriatic subduction, or both. These findings are compared to previously proposed models for the eastern Alps in terms of slab geometry, but also integrated in a a new, alternative geodynamic scenario that best fits both tomographic images and geological constraints.
Quantifying the light absorption and source attribution of insoluble light-absorbing particles on Tibetan Plateau glaciers between 2013 and 2015
Authors: Wang Xin , Wei Hailun , Liu Jun , Xu Baiqing , Wang Mo , Ji Mingxia , Jin Hongchun
Published: January 2019

Abstract. The deposition of
insoluble light-absorbing particles (ILAPs) on snow and ice surfaces can
significantly reduce albedo, thereby accelerating the melting process. In
this study, 67 ice samples were collected from seven glaciers located on the
Tibetan Plateau (TP) between May 2013 and October 2015. The mixing ratios of
black carbon (BC), organic carbon (OC), and mineral dust (MD) were measured
with an integrating sphere/integrating sandwich spectrophotometer (ISSW) system,
which assumes that the light absorption of MD is due to iron oxide (Fe). Our
results indicate that the mass-mixing ratios of BC, OC, and Fe exhibit
considerable variability (BC: 10–3100 ng g−1; OC:
10–17 000 ng g−1; Fe: 10–3500 ng g−1) with respective mean
values of 220±400 ng g−1, 1360±2420 ng g−1, and
240±450 ng g−1 over the course of the field campaign. We
observed that for wavelengths of 450–600 nm, the measured light absorption
can be largely attributed to the average light absorption of BC (50.7 %)
and OC (33.2 %). Chemical elements and selected carbonaceous particles
were also analyzed for source attributions of particulate light absorption
based on a positive matrix factorization (PMF) receptor model. Our findings
indicate that on average, industrial pollution (33.1 %), biomass or
biofuel burning (29.4 %), and MD (37.5 %) constitute the principal
sources of ILAPs deposited on TP glaciers.
Manuel Puig y lo latino en la producción de Wong Kar-wai
Authors: Mas López Jordi
Published: January 2019

El cineasta chino Wong Kar-wai ha reconocido la influencia de las novelas de Manuel Puig en la estructura de sus películas, y esta influencia ha sido comentada por diversos críticos. Sin embargo, se ha tendido a obviar el hecho de que el director también presentó Happy Together como “basada en” la novela The Buenos Aires Affair del mismo escritor. Nuestro artículo analiza la influencia de la narrativa de Manuel Puig en las producciones de Wong Kar-wai, haciendo especial hincapié en la que afecta al contenido de los filmes y explica, tal como argumentamos, la construcción de una determinada idea de lo latino, estereotipada pero al mismo tiempo bien definida, que el director contrapone a la de lo chino.
El periódico cultural "La Brasa", un espacio de intercambios en el noroeste argentino
Authors: Martínez Ana Teresa
Published: January 2019

Este estudio analiza los ocho números de un periódico editado en Santiago del Estero (Argentina) entre 1927 y 1928 por la Asociación cultural La Brasa. Se propone rastrear a través del estudio de los textos y del análisis de sus condiciones de producción, la densidad que había alcanzado la producción cultural local. Al mismo tiempo estudia la construcción de un espacio de confluencia e intercambio de relaciones con múltiples escritores, pintores, escultores, poetas y científicos, con sus grupos y sus editoriales, circulando por y desde un espacio periférico como era la ciudad de Santiago del Estero en la década de 1920. Se propone así contribuir al desarrollo de una sociología de la cultura en Argentina que esté menos condicionada en sus contenidos por la organización de la circulación y consagración de bienes y productores culturales con centro en la capital del país.
El simio, el "akka" y el loco: lecturas del evolucionismo en "Dos partidos en lucha" de Eduardo L. Holmberg y "La ciudad y los locos" de Juan José de Soiza Reilly
Authors: Iso Catalá Juan
Published: January 2019

El presente trabajo explora el impacto del evolucionismo en la Argentina de fin de siglo como eje articulador de la biopolítica estatal. Entendido como una auténtica “tecnología de la vida” que decide cuáles son las “vidas a rescatar”, el pensamiento biopolítico unido a las nuevas corrientes evolucionistas sirvió a los intelectuales del establishment para consolidar el discurso del progreso en la Argentina, racionalizando la Campaña del Desierto llevada a cabo por Roca que llevó al exterminio masivo de los pueblos originarios. Esta politización del discurso científico tiene su reflejo en las ficciones que surgen en torno al evolucionismo entendido como progreso: entre 1875 y 1914 dos obras, Dos partidos en lucha de Eduardo L. Holmberg y La ciudad y los locos, del periodista de Caras y Caretas Juan José de Soiza Reilly representan el arco entre el desarrollo, apogeo y caída del evolucionismo como política de Estado.
Conflicto y representación. El “tano” criminal en un sainete de Carlos Mauricio Pacheco
Authors: De Aldama Ordóñez Celia
Published: January 2019

Indagar acerca del tipo de representación del inmigrante italiano en Los disfrazados (1906), pieza breve firmada por el sainetero criollo Carlos Mauricio Pacheco, constituye la principal incógnita a desvelar a lo largo de las siguientes páginas. La reflexión que en ellas se recoge centra su atención en el personaje del “tano” para tratar de especificar los rasgos con que se perfila, desde las tablas, la imagen de los nuevos actores sociales arribados al arrabal porteño desde las orillas europeas. El acercamiento al personaje del “gringo” como cuerpo ideológico será indispensable para poner de relieve los conflictos de convivencia entre inmigrantes y criollos en un horizonte político dominado por los discursos nacionalistas que criminalizan al extranjero a través de los estigmas de la enfermedad y la violencia.

La Dimensión Ética y Ciudadana del Aprendizaje Servicio: Una apuesta por su institucionalización en la Educación Superior
Authors: Zayas Latorre Belén , Gozálvez Pérez Vicent , Gracia Calandín Javier
Published: January 2019

El presente artículo es una reflexión acerca del valor ético y cívico de los proyectos de Aprendizaje Servicio, a partir de argumentos y pruebas procedentes de un proceso de revisión bibliográfica, pero elaborando asimismo una fundamentación propia a partir de un análisis hermenéutico de esta metodología de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Se concluye que los proyectos de Aprendizaje Servicio favorecen desde la práctica una síntesis de la ética del cuidado y de la justicia, y contribuyen a una nueva definición del concepto de educación, en tanto que fomentan el aprendizaje significativo y revitalizan la dimensión ética y ciudadana de los procesos educativos, en sintonía con las propuestas de desarrollo humano y de la educación entendida como bien común de organismos internacionales como la Unesco. Tras la fundamentación teórica, se presenta un caso de su institucionalización en Educación Superior (Universitat de València), a partir de la reconsideración de la universidad como espacio público comprometido con la formación ética del estudiantado y la responsabilidad social universitaria.
Principales canales para la comunicación familia-escuela: análisis de necesidades y propuestas de mejora
Authors: Macia Bordalba Monica
Published: January 2019

La implicación de las familias en la educación dela infancia, si bien es esencial, sigue siendo un gran reto educativo. En este contexto, se vuelve imprescindible volver la mirada hacia la comunicación entre familiares y docentes, ya que propicia la confianza y, por tanto, las buenas relaciones entre ambos. Con este objetivo, el presente artículo analiza los puntos débiles de los principales canales de comunicación entre familia y escuela, y describe prácticas comunicativas eficaces que pueden ayudar a superar estas barreras y mejorar la comunicación. El estudio, que se enmarca dentro de una investigación más amplia sobre la participación de las familias en los centros españoles, utiliza la etnografía como método de investigación. Concretamente, se han estudiado un total de 20 centros de primaria distribuidos en cuatro comunidades autónomas (La Rioja, Aragón, Islas Baleares y Cataluña). Los resultados muestran que las escuelas están llevando a cabo múltiples acciones que pueden considerarse buenas prácticas para superar las debilidades de los medios actuales, y que pueden servir como propuestas iniciales para mejorar la comunicación entre docentes y familias.
Las estrategias de aprendizaje y las metas académicas en función del género, los estilos parentales y el rendimiento en estudiantes de secundaria
Authors: Suárez Valenzuela Sara , Suárez Riveiro José Manuel
Published: January 2019

El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar la relación entre las estrategias de aprendizaje, las orientaciones a meta y el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes, teniendo en cuenta la influencia de los estilos educativos parentales y las diferencias según el género. El Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), la Escala de Orientación a Metas y el Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) fueron administrados a una muestra de 221 estudiantes de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria, con edades comprendidas entre los 12 y los 17 años. Los resultados obtenidos muestran diferencias significativas: primero respecto al género, en la estrategia de organización y en las metas de autoensalzamiento y evitación de la tarea; segundo respecto a los estilos educativos parentales, en estrategias, metas académicas y rendimiento, que favorecen a los estilos democrático y permisivo; y tercero respecto a los niveles de rendimiento, con peores resultados para el nivel de rendimiento más bajo. De este estudio se desprende la necesidad de considerar las variables estudiadas a la hora de orientar a las familias y al alumnado en relación a la mejora del proceso de aprendizaje y el rendimiento académico. Finalmente, se ofrecen conclusiones que serán necesarias tener en cuenta en futuros trabajos en esta línea.
Educación para el emprendimiento: análisis y aportes a la política pública de educación en Colombia desde la sistematización de experiencias en instituciones de educación básica y media
Authors: Guarnizo Vargas Claudia Marcela , Velasquez Moreno Jairo Rodrigo , Jiménez Guzmán Claudia Patricia , Álzate Gómez Beatriz Helena
Published: January 2019

La educación para el emprendimiento funciona como dispositivo gubernamental en establecimientos educativos (EE) de educación básica y media de Colombia desde el 2006 en el marco de la ley 1014 y desde ahí, se han construido diversas interpretaciones que se traducen en discursos, los cuales orientan prácticas, que en este proyecto se han recontextualizado y vale la pena analizarlas en clave de aportes a la política pública educativa. El objetivo es divulgar nuevos conocimientos de EE participantes en la sistematización de experiencias relacionadas con la cultura del emprendimiento. El método utilizado se centra en una investigación cualitativa centrada en la sistematización de experiencias y el posterior análisis de enunciados y de regularidades discursivas de los relatos. Como resultado se observaron prácticas institucionales que movilizan la cultura institucional para el emprendimiento y la empresarialidad (CIEE); procesos de gestión institucional que empoderan a las personas en la línea de una CIEE y una educación centrada en la formación integral que responda a los retos del contexto actual. Como conclusiones de este trabajo se afirma que la política de educación actualmente es fortalecida por las reflexiones de prácticas institucionales que han asumido que la educación para el emprendimiento debe tener una concepción de cultura institucional pertinente para los territorios.

La discusión se centra en la necesidad de introducir en el desarrollo profesional de los docentes universitarios formación en torno a estrategias que permitan diseñar los contenidos que imparten conforme a los principios del diseño universal para la enseñanza.
Planning for Education Development Projects: Experiences from the Application of O&OD Approach in Kiroka Ward, Morogoro Rural District
Authors: Mseti Elias , Mwakasangula Eliza
Published: January 2019

Participatory planning has been regarded as an approach to enhance development through popular participation of local people in setting local plans and preferences. In an effort to make participatory planning a reality, the Tanzanian government through President's Office Regional Administration and local government (PO-RALG) introduced Opportunities and Obstacles to development (O & OD) with the aim of promoting bottom up planning process. The O&OD approach was thus designed to promote community initiatives in the planning process as well as accelerating achievement of national development goals as per Tanzanian Development Vision 2025. Therefore, this approach functions as an essential approach to identify community preferences for developing local plans. Nevertheless, the empirical research shows that despite this initiative, the planning process is still top down. The O & OD has not realized the intended objective. This study, therefore, examined the Planning for Education Development Projects by drawing experiences from the Application of O&OD Approach in Kiroka Ward in Morogoro Rural District. The study used a case study design, drawing a total sample of 94 respondents including 14 key informants, 10 members of village council and 70 community members. Purposive sampling was used to select key informants; simple random sampling was used to select members of the village council and that snowball sampling was used to select community members. Primary data were collected through interviews, questionnaire and direct observation. NVIVO software for qualitative data analysis was used to analyze the in depth interviews while the questionnaires was analyzed using SPSS computer software. The quantitative analysis involved descriptive statistics such as frequencies and percentages which were presented in the form of tables and figures. The study found that, Education Development Planning (EDP) process started at the school committees, village council and village assembly. EDP in the two villages was made by community leaders. Community members were involved at the implementation stage. Therefore EDP did not follow O&OD approach. This shows that participation for education planning in Kiroka and Kiziwa is conducted by leaders this affected education project since most of the projects were not implemented as villagers were not involved.

Parental Involvement in Students' English Writing Competence: A Model at Chinese Junior Middle School
Authors: Sun Hongqiong , Rungrojsuwan Sorabud
Published: January 2019

This paper provides an in-depth research into parental involvement at Chinese urban Junior Middle School. Parental involvement plays a substantial role in developing student’s English writing competence as long as parents are fully aware of skills of parental involvement. The present study constructs the model of parental involvement in terms of helping students’ English writing at Junior Middle School by qualitative interviews and documentation based on Brown’s parental formula in Chinese English learning context. Physical capital, together social capital and human capital will predict students’ English writing competence. The model demonstrates what may be included in Chinese parents’ physical capital, social capital and human capital in detail. However, the model is constructed from the perspectives of English writing in Chinese culture, hence it might be a good hint for parental involvement in Asian context.
The Analysis of Teachers’ Competence in Participating the In-Service Training Program of Inclusive Education in Indonesia
Authors: Salim Abdul
Published: January 2019

Theory, strategy, learning method, technology, and curriculum of inclusive education for both regular children and children with special needs (CWSN) are changing from time to time. Teachers require In-Service Training (IST) which enables them to adapt to these changes. One of the alternative ways for teachers who were already employed to obtain a new development access in education and educational technologies is to get IST. This research aimed to classify the teachers’ competence in inclusive schools based on their participation in the In-Service Training program of inclusive education. The research subjects were the 38 inclusive school teachers, taken by purposive random sampling. The data was collected by using questionnaire and analyzed by using descriptive and parametric statistic. The results reveal that there was a significant difference in pedagogic competence of teachers based on their participation in the In-Service Training (IST) program of inclusive education. The more often the teachers participate in the In-Service Training program, the better their pedagogic competence can be.
The Mediterranean Way a model to achieve the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Authors: Tarsitano Elvira , Calvano Gabriella , Cavalcanti Elisabetta
Published: January 2019

The Mediterranean diet, inscribed in the representative list of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity by UNESCO in 2010, is inspired by the traditional food models of Italy, France, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Cyprus and Croatia, all countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. In particular, the Mediterranean area, geographically and territorially, has the characteristics to give value to past food models, which are products of the local territory (legumes, grains, vegetables, fruit, fish). The major aim is to encourage this type of food, which has always been one of the key points for biology studies in the fields of nutrition, food safety and biodiversity protection. The notion of "Mediterranean diet", or "Mediterranean way. How to eat well and stay well” (Keys & Keys, 1975) does not refer only to a nutritional model shared by many peoples of the Mediterranean basin, but embraces wider and deeper concepts that refer to a peculiar lifestyle, to a specific modality of production and consumption of food, to a certain way of conceiving the relationship between people and the environment. The Mediterranean way is a tool for achieving the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
Performance Evaluation of LEED-certified Affordable Homes: Case Study of LEED-certified Habitat for Humanity
Authors: Lee Eunsil
Published: January 2019

Despite the rapid growth in the number of LEED-certified homes, little data is currently available about the actual effects of LEED-certified affordable homes. The purpose of present study is to conduct a comprehensive performance evaluation for LEED-certified Habitat for Humanity residences in terms of (1) energy efficiency, (2) indoor environmental quality, (3) health impact, (4) residential satisfaction, (5) quality of life, and (6) environmental attitudes and behaviors. A case study was conducted with 15 households living in LEED-certified Habitat for Humanity homes in Kent County, Michigan using observation, in-depth interviews, and surveys. Findings revealed overall housing satisfaction was very high although some residents indicated lower satisfaction with their neighborhood. Most of case study homes had 30-50% lower electricity and natural gas bills. Most participants were satisfied with indoor environmental quality (IEQ) including thermal comfort, indoor air quality, amount daylight, quality of artificial lighting, and acoustical condition. Most participants agreed that since moving into their current homes they have experienced improved family relationships, better health conditions, more positive attitudes, and better performance of their children. The major findings of this case study support the positive effects of LEED-certified low-income homes on residents’ behavioral, social, and psychological aspects of well-being.

ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF PROGRESSIVE AND PROPORTIONAL TAXATION OF INCOMES
Authors: Wołowiec Tomasz
Published: January 2019

The case for a flat tax has been around for over two decades. In the early 1980s, Robert Hall and Alvin Rabush-ka of the Hoover Institution developed a tax system that is based on a single rate of taxation for all sources of income, as close as possible to the source. All income is classified as either business income or wages and taxed at one rate, except for a personal allowance exempting lower income individuals and families from taxation (this makes the Hall-Rabushka proposal to some extent progressive). There are no other exemptions, no deductions, no loopholes. The other essential aspect of the flat tax system developed by Hall-Rabushka is radical simplification of the tax system, by removing any deductions or reliefs, and by eliminating double taxation. This proposal repre-sents a fundamental change in the way governments would collect tax revenue. Flat tax is believed to help reduce red tape and associated difficulties and confusion. With tax form down to size of postcard the flat tax system makes tax filling much simpler and more efficient; achieve simplicity, economic efficiency and fairness (same rate for all) – three principle of effective/sound taxation; reduce tax evasion and cheating, by lowering opportunity cost of avoiding taxes. Flat tax systems means elimination of relief, allowances and thus eliminates loopholes in the sys-tem and provide incentives to work, save and invest that trigger an economic boom.

Post-Critical Platonism
Authors: Turkis Martin E. ,   The Polanyi Society
Published: January 2019

This article explores intriguing resonances in the work of Michael Polanyi and Iris Murdoch, touching on ethics, aesthetics, epistemology, and ontology, as well as Murdoch’s literary output. In so doing, it begins to outline a phenomenological approach to Platonist virtue ethics informed by Murdoch’s work and drawing heavily on Polanyi’s post-critical epistemology; it also gestures toward how such an approach might be applied in the classroom.
Protein C Deficiency
Authors: Dinarvand Peyman , Moser Karen A
Published: January 2019

Protein C (PC) deficiency is a heritable or acquired risk factor for thrombophilia, with presentations varying from asymptomatic to venous thromboembolism to neonatal purpura fulminans, a life-threatening disorder. Hereditary PC deficiency is caused by mutation in the PC (PROC) gene located on chromosome 2q14.3. Heterozygous and acquired PC deficiencies are more common than homozygous deficiency. The recommended initial laboratory test measures PC activity using either clot-based or chromogenic methods. There are numerous potential interferences in PC activity testing that may result in either false-positive (falsely low activity) or false-negative (falsely normal or elevated activity) results. In the present review, we discuss common clinical presentations; laboratory testing, with a focus on potential assay interferences; treatment options; and prognosis in patients with PC deficiency.

PALABRAS SIN RIMA O DISONANTES
Authors: Domínguez Caparrós José
Published: January 2019

La rima disonante, constituida por las palabras sin rima, ha ocupado un lugar en la teoría métrica española tradicional: bien agrupadas en una lista especial como la de Rengifo, bien apareciendo en los diccionarios de la rima del siglo XIX de Peñalver, Landa y Benot. Modernamente son los diccionarios inversos los que informan sobre la posibilidad o imposibilidad de una rima. El análisis detallado de la lista de Rengifo es la base para una descripción y una teoría de la disonancia como tercera forma de rima, o no rima, junto a las canónicas consonancia y asonancia de la métrica española.
GIANGIORGIO TRISSINO: INNOVADOR, POETA Y MÁXIMO TEÓRICO DE LA MÉTRICA ITALIANA RENACENTISTA
Authors: Paraíso Isabel
Published: January 2019

Este trabajo presenta los aportes e innovaciones de Giangiorgio Trissino (1478-1550) en el campo de la Métrica italiana. Con sus obras Sophonisba e Italia liberata da’ Goti consagró la utilización del verso suelto para obras extensas, buscando naturalidad y reproducir la grandeza del hexámetro. Y su Poética contiene la teoría métrica italiana más completa, sistemática y sensible escrita hasta entonces. De ahí su carácter modélico.

IDEAS MÉTRICAS EN THE ART OF ENGLISH POESY DE GEORGE PUTTENHAM
Authors: Frau Juan
Published: January 2019

El propósito de este artículo es analizar las ideas métricas que aparecen en The Art of English Poesy (1589), de George Puttenham, un ambicioso tratado teórico que se ocupa de la prosodia, la retórica, la poética y la versifi cación, y cuyo segundo libro, titulado De la proporción poética, está dedicado casi por completo al metro y al ritmo. La teoría de Puttenham sobre el verso, en parte original y en parte infl uida por Escalígero –sobre todo– y –en menor grado– por otros autores franceses, describe detalladamente la prosodia y el verso inglés y defi ende la poesía vernácula, aunque el autor trata de ofrecer una especie de guía para adaptar el metro clásico a la poesía inglesa.
PROCEDIMIENTOS MÉTRICOS EN LA LÍRICA UNAMUNIANA
Authors: Romero Luque Manuel
Published: January 2019

La prolífi ca fi gura de don Miguel de Unamuno es, sin duda, una de las cimas literarias del siglo XX. No obstante, su labor como poeta lírico ha sido con frecuencia, hasta tiempo bien reciente, echada en olvido. Este trabajo pretende exponer cómo la poética del rector de Salamanca demuestra, desde el primero de sus libros hasta su póstumo Cancionero, un notable conocimiento de la tradición literaria y sus procedimientos métricos, así como su capacidad para innovar dentro del panorama literario de su tiempo, en el que consolidó una obra al margen de los estereotipos vigentes. Su lírica queda caracterizada por la variedad en el cultivo de metros, en la que se aprecia una evolución desde el ritmo endecasilábico al octosilábico; la abundancia de formas estrófi cas que utiliza, aunque el soneto sea la fi gura central, y la valoración cambiante que suscita en el poeta el uso de la rima.
JUAN CARAMUEL LOBKOWITZ SUR LA VERSIFICATION HONGROISE
Authors: Seláf Levente , Horvath Ivan
Published: January 2019

La existencia de sílabas largas y breves en la lengua húngara, así como su peculiar sistema acentual, posibilita una versifi - cación en pies métricos. En este contexto, se analiza la aportación de Juan Caramuel, metricista español del siglo XVII, sobre la base de un poema húngaro, que es asimilable a los romances.
ALGUNOS EJEMPLOS DE INFLUENCIA MODERNISTA EN LA GENERACIÓN DEL 70
Authors: Moreno Pedrosa José Manuel
Published: January 2019

En la literatura española de posguerra, los poetas conocidos como “novísimos” y “generación del 70” han reivindicado de modo muy particular la infl uencia del Modernismo. Esta infl uencia puede verse en su concepción de la poesía, como una actividad en la que los aspectos técnicos son esenciales, comportando cierta ironía y la construcción de una identidad. Además, los poetas del 70 son herederos de los modernistas en sus prácticas métricas, particularmente en lo que se refi ere a la rima y al uso del verso alejandrino.
Metros narrados: el verso en la novela española
Authors: Frau Juan
Published: January 2019

Este trabajo analiza el modo en el que el verso a veces se oculta o se refugia en obras extensas de prosa narrativa. En términos relativos, son pocos los versos publicados o conservados en las páginas de una novela; sin embargo, desde los primeros géneros narrativos hasta la novela moderna, hay una variada casuística a la hora de incluir fragmentos líricos en verso, que pueden tener una presencia anecdótica, o desempeñar un papel protagonista, como sucede en El Quijote, La pícara Justina, Fray Gerundio de Campazas o la novela pastoril; los ejemplos son infinitos.This paper analyzes how verse can be hidden or hosted in extensive works of narrative prose. Comparatively few verses have been published or transmitted in the pages of a novel; however, from the earliest narrative genres to modern novel, there is a manifold practice in including lyric excerpts in verse, which can be anecdotic, or claim a main role, as happens in El Quijote, La pícara Justina, Fray Gerundio de Campazas or pastoral romance; examples may be multiplied indefinitely.
Iconos, de Rafael Almanza Alonso: un nuevo caso de uso intencional del endecasílabo dactílico
Authors: Manresa González Carlos
Published: January 2019

El endecasílabo anapéstico, dactílico o de gaita gallega ha sido utilizado en pocas ocasiones en la poesía española. El siguiente trabajo describe la existencia de un nuevo caso de endecasílabo anapéstico, dactílico o de gaita galleta en la obra del poeta cubano contemporáneo Rafael Almanza Alonso. Primero, se hace un recorrido por su poesía de juventud para demostrar su marcado interés por el empleo de este metro. Se estudia en particular el uso intencional o uniforme de la variedad dactílica del endecasílabo en el himno Iconos de este autor. Al comparar este himno con los textos poéticos hasta ahora documentados por la crítica que han usado esta variante del endecasílabo, se pretende demostrar que Iconos constituye el ejemplo de uso uniforme más extenso de este endecasílabo en la poesía lírica española. Por último, para su estudio, se sugiere utilizar el concepto teórico de verso variable de Oldřich Bělič.The dactylic hendecasyllable has been rarely used in Spanish poetry. The following paper describes the existence of a new case of the dactylic hendecasyllable in the work of contemporary Cuban poet Rafael Almanza Alonso. We will first study his youth poetry in order to demonstrate their strong interest in the use of the hendecasyllable. We will also document the intentional use of the dactylic hendecasyllable by this author in the hymn Iconos. By comparing this poem with the poetic texts that have used this variant of hendecasyllable, so far documented by critics, we aim to demonstrate that Iconos is the example of the largest and uniform use of this variety of hendecasyllable in the lyric Spanish poetry. Finally, we suggest to study this hendecasyllable by using the metric theoretic concept variable verse from Oldřich Bělič.
Métrica y edición del verso. El ejemplo de Fernando de Herrera
Authors: Domínguez Caparrós José
Published: January 2019

En la edición de textos en verso existe la preocupación por ayudar gráficamente al silabeo métrico. No existe, sin embargo, una norma de esta representación gráfica, sino usos variados de editor a editor e incluso incongruencias en el uso de un mismo editor. Fernando de Herrera, en su edición anotada de la poesía de Garcilaso, presenta un muestrario ejemplar de preocupación por la representación gráfica de la sílaba métrica. A partir del análisis de veintidós ejemplos de Herrera y la solución ofrecida en los mismos casos por reconocidos editores modernos de Garcilaso, se concluye que es imposible identificar una norma partiendo de los usos examinados, y se propone limitar la peculiaridad del aspecto gráfico del verso al uso de la diéresis o crema para la escansión del diptongo ortográfico en dos sílabas métricas.In editing a text of verse there is concern regarding to help graphically the metric scansion. There is not, however, a rule of this graphical representation, but varied uses of editor to editor and even inconsistencies in the use of a single editor. Fernando de Herrera, in his annotated edition of Garcilaso’s poetry presents an exemplary display of concern for the graphical representation of the metric syllable. From the analysis of twenty two examples of Herrera and the solution offered in the same cases by renowned modern editors of Garcilaso, is concluded that it is impossible to identify a rule based on the uses which were examined, and it is proposed to limit the peculiarity of the graphic aspect of the verse to the use of diaeresis for the scansion of the orthographic Principio del formulario diphthong into two metric syllables.
Fundamentos para una fraseometría histórica del español
Authors: Pla Colomer Francisco Pedro
Published: January 2019

La presente investigación tiene como fi nalidad analizar contrastivamente las variantes fraseológicas documentadas en textos poéticos medievales, tomando como base aquellos que se corresponden con el segundo ciclo de la escuela del mester de clerezía, compuestos en el entorno cultural del siglo XIV. Con ello se pretende asentar las bases de una fraseometría histórica que dé cuenta de la relación existente entre métrica y proceso de fi jación de las variantes locucionales en el devenir de la lengua.The current research has the aim to describe the evolution of idioms, and its variants, documented in the medieval poetry. The corpus is based on the poems that belong to the second cycle of the mester de clerezía, written along the 14th century. It is expected to set the basis of a Praseometry theory, taking into account the Metrics in connection with the evolution of the Spanish idioms.
