Sublaminar Subdivision of Mouse Auditory Cortex Layer 2/3 Based on Functional Translaminar Connections
Authors: Meng Xiangying , Winkowski Daniel E. , Kao Joseph P.Y. , Kanold Patrick O.
Published: September 2017

The cerebral cortex is subdivided into six layers based on morphological features. The supragranular layers 2/3 (L2/3) contain morphologically and genetically diverse populations of neurons, suggesting the existence of discrete classes of cells. In primates and carnivores L2/3 can be subdivided morphologically, but cytoarchitectonic divisions are less clear in rodents. Nevertheless, discrete classes of cells could exist based on their computational requirement, which might be linked to their associated functional microcircuits. Throughin vitroslice recordings coupled with laser-scanning photostimulation we investigated whether L2/3 of male mouse auditory cortex contains discrete subpopulations of cells with specific functional microcircuits. We use hierarchical clustering on the laminar connection patterns to reveal the existence of multiple distinct classes of L2/3 neurons. The classes of L2/3 neurons are distinguished by the pattern of their laminar and columnar inputs from within A1 and their location within L2/3. Cells in superficial L2 show more extensive columnar integration than deeper L3 cells. Moreover, L3 cells receive more translaminar input from L4.In vivoimaging in awake mice revealed that L2 cells had higher bandwidth than L3 cells, consistent with the laminar differences in columnar integration. These results suggest that similar to higher mammals, rodent L2/3 is not a homogenous layer but contains several parallel microcircuits.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTLayer 2/3 of auditory cortex is functionally diverse. We investigated whether L2/3 cells form classes based on their functional connectivity. We usedin vitrowhole-cell patch-clamp recordings with laser-scanning photostimulation and performed unsupervised clustering on the resulting excitatory and inhibitory connection patterns. Cells within each class were located in different sublaminae. Superficial cells showed wider integration along the tonotopic axis and the amount of L4 input varied with sublaminar location. To identify whether sensory responses varied with sublaminar location, we performedin vivoCa2+imaging and found that L2 cells were less frequency-selective than L3 cells. Our results show that the diversity of receptive fields in L2/3 is likely due to diversity in the underlying functional circuits.
“Professional Movements” and the Expansion of Access to Healthcare in the Industrializing World
Authors: Harris Joseph
Published: September 2017

Explanations for the expansion of the welfare state have frequently centered on the importance of left-wing political parties and labor unions. Scholars have even pointed to the rare but growing significance of social democracy in the industrializing world. Yet, in the field of healthcare, labor unions frequently oppose sweeping universalistic reforms that threaten to erode members’ existing benefits, and those most in need of healthcare in rural areas and the informal sector are often the least organized politically. In the absence of mass demands, who then is responsible for universal healthcare programs in the industrializing world, and by what means do they successfully advocate for far-reaching reforms? This article explores the role that “professional movements” played in expanding access to healthcare in an industrializing nation that was engaged in processes of democratization. Mass movements are typically composed of lay people; by contrast, professional movements are made up of elites from esteemed professions who command knowledge, networks, and access to state resources that set them apart from ordinary citizens. The account illustrates how and why professional movements are able to play such a powerful role in health policymaking in the industrializing world, points to the need for more research on professional movements in other cases and policy domains, and discusses their relevance to social change in the industrializing world.
RET-mediated modulation of tumor microenvironment and immune response in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2)
Authors: Castellone Maria Domenica , Melillo Rosa Marina
Published: September 2017

Medullary thyroid carcinomas (MTC) arise from thyroid parafollicular, calcitonin-producing C-cells and can occur either as sporadic or as hereditary diseases in the context of familial syndromes, including multiple endocrine neoplasia 2A (MEN2A), multiple endocrine neoplasia 2B (MEN2B) and familial MTC (FMTC). In a large fraction of sporadic cases, and virtually in all inherited cases of MTC, activating point mutations of theRETproto-oncogene are found.RETencodes for a receptor tyrosine kinase protein endowed with transforming potential on thyroid parafollicular cells. As in other cancer types, microenvironmental factors play a critical role in MTC. Tumor-associated extracellular matrix, stromal cells and immune cells interact and influence the behavior of cancer cells both in a tumor-promoting and in a tumor-suppressing manner. Several studies have shown that, besides the neoplastic transformation of thyroid C-cells, a profound modification of tumor microenvironment has been associated to the RET FMTC/MEN2-associated oncoproteins. They influence the surrounding stroma, activating cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), promoting cancer-associated inflammation and suppressing anti-cancer immune response. These mechanisms might be exploited to develop innovative anti-cancer therapies and novel prognostic tools in the context of familial, RET-associated MTC.

Regular Variation of Popular GARCH Processes Allowing for Distributional Asymmetry
Authors: Prono Todd
Published: September 2017

Linear GARCH(1,1) and threshold GARCH(1,1) processes are established as regularly varying, meaning their heavy tails are Pareto like, under conditions that allow the innovations from the, respective, processes to be skewed. Skewness is considered a stylized fact for many financial returns assumed to follow GARCH-type processes. The result in this note aids in establishing the asymptotic properties of certain GARCH estimators proposed in the literature.
Reaffirming the Influence of Milton Friedman on U.K. Economic Policy
Authors: Nelson Edward
Published: September 2017

This paper finds a significant influence of Milton Friedman on U.K. economic policy from the 1970s onward, and especially during the period of the Thatcher Government. The finding is based on a consideration of statements by policymakers and key economic advisers, as well as an analysis of Friedman’s commentary in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s on U.K. economic developments. Explicit, public acknowledgments of Friedman's influence were given by Margaret Thatcher, Chancellor of the Exchequer Geoffrey Howe, Bank of England officials, and others in policy circles. Examples of Friedman's influence include the absorption into U.K. policy doctrine of the permanent income hypothesis and the natural rate hypothesis, the rejection from 1979 onward of incomes policy as a weapon against inflation, and U.K. officials' repeated appeals to monetary sovereignty when arguing against monetary union or a sterling peg. Evidence of influence by Friedman on privatization policy and on the official perspective on the current account deficit can also be discerned. Although he had only limited interaction with U.K. policymakers, Friedman had a major influence, reflected in the adoption into actual U.K. policymaking of recommendations made in his writings and in the fact that those writings-which were studied closely by a number of senior U.K. economic advisers-helped alter U.K. economists' conceptual framework and thereby fostered doctrinal changes in U.K. economic policy. This paper's analysis also shows that two prominent critics of the Thatcher economic policy-Labour's Harold Wilson and the Conservatives' Edward Heath-saw this policy as partly due to the influence of Friedman, whom each of them had met before the Thatcher era.
Three Halves of a Whole – Redefining East and West in UNESCO’s East-West Major Project 1957-1966
Authors: Huttunen Miia
Published: September 2017

In 1946 Julian Huxley, UNESCO’s rst Director-General, suggested that two opposing philosophies of life were confronting each other from the East and the West, setting the focus on the cultural aspect of this polarisation and de ning the possibility of an East- West conflict as the main threat to world peace. A decade later, in 1957, UNESCO launched The Major Project on the Mutual Appreciation of Eastern and Western Cultural Values to promote its ideas of intercultural understanding as a means to maintaining peace. The core concepts of the Project, East and West, were not strictly defined. Here East and West, as concepts, fit Reinhart Koselleck’s definition of Grundbegriffe, or basic concept – something which by nature is complex, controversial, ambiguous and contested, but also indispensable. The purpose of this article is to trace the evolution of the concepts during the ten years of the Project. The concepts are analysed with the tools of conceptual history and contextualised primarily in a cultural framework. An analysis of the concepts reveals that East and West were, at first, referred to as two opposing elements that could only be understood in relation to each other, leading to a binary opposition. This original depiction developed into the recognition of several civilisations existing within and outside the East-West dichotomy and thus to an ongoing discussion of the nature of intercultural relations within the UNESCO context. The conceptual transformation reflects UNESCO’s evolution from an essentially Western European organisation to a forum of intercultural dialogue of a truly worldwide nature. This article suggests an alternative understanding of international cultural relations of the 1950s and 1960s outside both the Cold War and post-colonial frameworks.

Independent Performing Arts Sector as a Part of the Third Sector inTransition

This article examines the Finnish independent performing arts sector as a part of the so-called third (non-profit and voluntary) sector. The independent performing arts sector is analyzed from the viewpoint of the changing nature of the new third sector as identified in recent research. The aim of the article is to describe the agents in the manifold independent sector of performing arts and to analyze what kind of forms the elements important to the so-called new third sector, organizational membership and paid labour, take in the independent performing arts. From the genres of performing arts, theatre, dance, circus and performance art are investigated. There are two sets of data. Quantitative data consists of the number of productions performed in the Helsinki region during 2009–2011 by the independent performing arts sector and the number of the artists participating in those productions. The qualitative data includes case studies from 16 independent performing arts groups from around Finland. In addition to case studies, research methods include typification and network analysis. This article is concerned especially with four identified transitions in the third sector: from volunteerism to professionalism, from institutions to informal groups, from influencing to performing services and from traditional membership to different forms of participation. We conclude that the independent sector in the performing arts consists of a variety of forms of organization, and the volume of productions by groups that are not formally organized is significant. Membership has several different meanings, and they often differ from the traditional notion of the concept. In the independent sector of the arts different forms of employment and labour are mixed. The independent performing arts sector uses many familiar third sector features such as forms of organization, tradition of volunteering and light administration to organize and fund its activities, but it also moves freely outside the third sector conventions, borrows and creates its own ways, which are sometimes again borrowed by actors outside the arts sector.

THE MORBIDITY WITH TEMPORARY DISABILITY OF WORKING MILITARY RETIREES
Authors: Popov A. V.
Published: September 2017

The purpose of the study. The study of morbidity with temporary disability of working officers of the Navy, retired and resigned, as well as affecting the level of certain factors.

Materials and methods. A sociological survey of 574 officers of the Navy, who were dismissed from the Armed Forces to the reserve (resignation), was held. 32.7% of them at the time of the survey have been working.

Results. 48.8% of respondents rated their health at the time of the survey as a good for their age. The level of morbidity with temporary disability (MWTD) in 100 operating reserve (retired) officers amounted to 94 cases. The number of days of temporary disability was equal to 867 days per 100 employed military pensioners. Most long-term treatment (up to 47 days) were required for patients with blood diseases. Analysis of the structure of diseases of reserve (retired) officers leading to temporary disability, showed that the bulk of the cases (63.7 per cent) were diseases of the respiratory organs, in second place were diseases of the circulatory system (24,5%), the third — diseases of the genitourinary system (4.3%). The average number of existing diseases to working military retirees less than idle: 1.9 vs 2.1. The average number of diseases at the single soldiers discharged was significantly more than that of living in family.

Conclusion. The features of level and structure, as well as risk factors of MWTD should be considered in the development and adoption of administrative decisions directed on preservation and strengthening of health of reserve (retired) officers.
DIABETES MELLITUS IN PATIENTS WITH LIVER CIRRHOSIS: NEW TREATMENT OPTIONS
Authors: Morgunov L. Yu.
Published: September 2017

In economically developed countries, cirrhosis is one of the six leading causes of death at the age of 35–60 years and ranges from 14 to 30 cases per 100000 population. In the world 40 million people die of cirrhosis each year. At 6% of the population of the Russian Federation there is a diabetes mellitus. The combination of diabetes mellitus in patients with cirrhosis of the liver is a common comorbid pathology. Diabetes mellitusis a risk factor for the development of liver cirrhosis, and the incidence of combination of both diseases is quite high, although the frequency of occurrence varies. About 80% of patients with LC may have impaired glucose metabolism, and 30% have diabetes mellitus. Prospective studies have shown that diabetes is associated with an increased risk of developing hepatic complications and death in patients with cirrhosis of the liver. Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of complications of liver cirrhosis of any etiology (varicose veins of the esophagus, hepatic encephalopathy, hepatic-cell insufficiency) and subsequent survival. The incidence, frequency of hospitalizations and mortality from this combined pathology are very high. There are common mechanisms that provoke metabolic and autoimmune disorders in the development of chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis, leading to steatosis, insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance and the development of diabetes mellitus. There are certain features of the evaluation of the compensation of carbohydrate metabolism in patients with cirrhosis of the liver, anemia and impaired protein metabolism. Effective control of glycemia can have a beneficial effect on the treatment of these patients. However, few studies have evaluated the efficacy and safety of antidiabetic drugs and the effect of diabetes treatment on morbidity and mortality in patients with cirrhosis. Previously it was believed that in the presence of cirrhosis the only treatment remains insulin. At present, in connection with the emergence of modern groups of hypoglycemic drugs, as well as new approaches to the treatment of type 2 diabetes, this concept has radically changed. Unfortunately, the issues of correction of carbohydrate metabolism in patients with cirrhosis of the liver are practically not covered in the world literature. This article deals with the correction of carbohydrate metabolism in patients with cirrhosis and hepatocellular insufficiency of insulin analogs, biguanides, drugs with incretin effect — dipeptidyl peptidase‑4 inhibitors, agonists of glucagon-like peptide‑1, inhibitors of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 diabetes. Particular attention is paid to the development of hepatocellular insufficiency and portal hypertension in patients with cirrhosis and type 2 diabetes, as well as processes for their prevention and insulin alternative correction methods.
PETROGRAFIA E LITOGEOQUÍMICA DO GRANITO ITAOCA, MUNICÍPIO DE CAMPOS DOS GOYTACAZES, RJ: O REPRESENTANTE MAIS JOVEM DO MAGMATÍSMO PÓS-COLISIONAL DA FAIXA RIBEIRA
Authors: Potratz Guilherme Loriato , Valeriano Claudio de Morisson
Published: September 2017

O Granito Itaoca é o representante mais jovem do magmatismo do estágio pós-colisional da Faixa Ribeira. Este granito integra a suíte Nova Friburgo e situa-se no município de Campos dos Goytacazes, região norte do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Trata-se de um corpo plutônico, de forma aproximadamente elíptica, com 5 quilômetros de diâmetro, intrudido nas rochas metassedimentares do Grupo São Fidélis – Terreno Oriental. O corpo foi mapeado em três fácies ígneas, com base em variações texturais, sendo elas: fácies porfirítica; fácies inequigranular; e fácies equigranular. A transição entre estas fácies se dá de forma concêntrica e gradacional. A unidade é composta predominantemente por monzogranitos, sendo encontrados também quartzo-mozonitos e sienogranitos. Grande quantidade de enclaves são encontrados em regiões específicas da Serra do Itaoca, sendo estes dos tipos microgranulares máficos, microgranulares félsicos e xenólitos de anfibolitos. As rochas do Granito Itaoca apresentam assinatura predominantemente álcali-cálcica, são metaluminosas, apresentam enriquecimento em ferro e são supersaturadas em sílica. Sugere-se que a origem deste granito esteja associada à fusão parcial de rochas do Complexo Rio Negro com possível assimilação de rochas supracrustais do Grupo São Fidélis.Palavras Chave: Granitos pós-colisionais.

LitogeoquímicaAbstract: PETROGRAPHY AND LITHOGEOCHEMISTRY OF ITAOCA GRANITE, CAMPOS DOS GOYTACAZES, RJ: THE YOUNGEST REPRESENTATIVE OF POST-COLLISIONAL MAGMATISM OF RIBEIRA BELT. The Itaoca Granite is the youngest representative of the post-collision stage magmatism of the Ribeira Belt. This granite is part of the Nova Friburgo suite and is located in the municipality of Campos dos Goytacazes, in the northern region of the State of Rio de Janeiro. It is a plutonic body, approximately elliptical in shape, with a diameter of 5 kilometers, intruded in the metasedimentary rocks of the São Fidélis Group – Oriental Terrane. The body was mapped in three igneous facies, based on textural variations: porphyritic facies; unequigranular facies; and equigranular facies. The transition between these facies occurs in a concentric and gradational way. The unit is predominantly composed of monzogranites, quartz-mozonites and sienogranites being also found. A large number of enclaves are found in specific regions of the Serra do Itaoca, being these of three types, mafic microgranular, felsic microgranular and amphibolite xenoliths. The rocks of the Itaoca Granite are predominantly alkali-calcic, metaluminous, have iron enrichment and are supersaturated in silica. It is suggested that the origin of this granite is associated to partial melting of rocks of the Rio Negro Complex with possible assimilation of supracrustal rocks of the São Fidélis Group.Keywords: Post-collisional granite.

Types of employment contracts and elasticity of employment in the European Union new member states in 2000–2014
Authors: Kwiatkowski Eugeniusz , Włodarczyk Przemysław
Published: September 2017

The article is focused on the problem of elasticity of employment in the economies of the European Union new member states in 2000–2014. Special attention is given to the role of types of employment contracts and their influence on the elasticity of employment. Theoretical arguments and empirical observations enable us to formulate hypothesis about a U‑shaped relationship between the share of fixed‑term employment in total employment and elasticity of employment in a given economy. We should also expect increases of price and working time elasticity in response to increases in the share of fixed‑term employment. Results of panel model estimations performed using the data for 13 new European Union member states in 2000–2014 confirm the hypothesis about an impact of share of fixed‑term employment in total employment on the elasticity of employment. In particular, an increase in the number of fixed‑term contracts results in the fall of elasticity of employment with respect to GDP and increase in the elasticity of employment with respect to real wages and working time. There is however no confirmation of the hypothesis concerning a U‑shaped relationship between elasticity of employment with respect to GDP and the share of fixed‑term emplyment.

Zjawisko przestępczości w destynacjach turystycznych. Przegląd badań
Authors: Lisowska Agnieszka
Published: September 2017

Turystyka stała się zjawiskiem powszechnym, a z różnych względów także bardzo istotnym, zwłaszcza dla regionów czy krajów rozwijających się, co spowodowało, że postrzegano ją zwykle jako zjawisko pozytywne. Nowe opracowania rzuciły na to inne światło. Turystyka powoduje okresowe zwiększenie liczby ludności na stosunkowo niewielkim obszarze, przyczynia się do wprowadzenia „obcych” do lokalnych społeczności, a to generuje negatywne zjawiska, m.in. takie jak przestępczość. Zwiększone ryzyko wiktymizacji może powodować spadek atrakcyjności określonej destynacji. Istniejące publikacje skupiają się z reguły na ogólnym zarysie współzależności obu zjawisk, rzadko natomiast przedmiotem badań są konkretne obszary turystyczne w przestrzeni miast. Przedstawiony przegląd badań objął różne prace dotyczące związków między turystyką a przestępczości.

Published: September 2017

Coconuts are inextricably linked to the culture, tradition and economy of Tonga from time immemorial. Although coconut sector
enjoyed a predominant position in the national economy until the late 1980s, thereafter the sector has experienced a downfall. The
1990s and 2000s witnessed a stagnant coconut economy in Tonga and in the recent times, the role played by the sector has become
insignificant. The comparative position of Tonga with respect to the major Pacific islands, in terms of production, trade and
competitiveness is not advantageous to the country. The contribution of coconut sector in the national economy and export
earnings has been dwindling in recent years. It was also seen that the export diversification in products and markets are absent.
There are only a few exporters operating in the sector, therefore the benefit of perfect competition and economy of scale is not
realized. In contrast, the coconut sector in Tonga still has the potential to provide year round income to the farmers. Therefore, the
sector needs an adequate impetus in all the nodes from production to the exports, with plausible options and strategies to make it
sustainable.

Nas representações, imagens e imaginários
Authors: Tonin Juliana , Azubel Larissa
Published: September 2017

O presente artigo tem por objetivo pensar a relação entre imagens, representações e imaginários. As imagens podem alimentar representações que definem imaginários. Os imaginários são bacias semânticas de onde jorram representações em forma de imagens. Imagens, imaginários e representações se retroalimentam, se interpenetram, se confundem; são senhas sem as quais não se pode pensar a comunicação, mesmo a vida em sociedade. Para refletir sobre as relações complexas entre tais noções, neste estudo trabalhou-se com o aporte teórico de Georg Simmel, Serge Moscovici, Gilbert Durand e Michel Maffesoli, numa perspectiva compreensiva.

Para tanto, entendemos que os saberes, as artes de fazer e a tradição são sustentados por uma memória e constroem identidades coletivas e individuais. A escolha metodológica parte do trabalho com fontes da Cultura Material, História Oral e Iconografia.
Procedimentos metodológicos de pesquisa com jovens infratores: a importância da história oral
Authors: Marzochi Andréa Souza
Published: September 2017

Neste artigo pretendo discorrer sobre a perspectiva da História Oral adotada na pesquisa de mestrado com o título “História de Vida dos jovens da Fundação CASA: o lugar da escola nessas vidas”, que seguiu as orientações do Núcleo de História Oral da Universidade de São Paulo (NEHO/USP), principalmente os escritos do professor José Carlos Sebe B. Meihy. Com objetivo de aprofundar os estudos sobre os jovens que cumprem medida socioeducativa de internação no Estado de São Paulo, entrevistei sete internos que se tornaram colaboradores da pesquisa. Seguindo as referências do NEHO, não realizei somente a transcrição das entrevistas, mas ainda a textualização e a transcriação, que foram de suma importância para a elaboração de um texto final que permita refletir sobre a sociedade contemporânea a partir das experiências de grupos socialmente excluídos.
"Pêche au harpon", a trajetória de uma fotografia
Authors: Rolim Iara Cecília Pimentel
Published: September 2017

No período entreguerras, em países como França, Inglaterra, Alemanha e Estados Unidos, a fotografia passou a ocupar um lugar central nos meios de comunicação de massa, na área da publicidade, na ilustração de livros e na moda. Com a forte demanda de imagens, a profissão de fotógrafo estruturou-se e o mercado organizou-se para suprir as necessidades daquele período. Em Paris, especificamente, havia uma grande circulação de imagens, onde uma mesma fotografia poderia transitar entre o documento, a arte e a memória. Desta forma, o artigo é sobre a fotografia "Pêch au harpon", de Pierre Verger, e sua trajetória na Paris dos anos 1930.

Entre a crítica, o público e o autor: construção de sentido e crítica social em Brave New World de Aldous Huxley
Authors: Francisco Rafael da Cunha Duarte
Published: September 2017

Esse trabalho tem como principal objetivo discutir o projeto estético criado por Aldous Huxley em seus romances distópicos, especialmente em "Brave New World", primeiramente publicado em 1932. A partir da comparação com alguns outros romances distópicos do mesmo período, pretendemos demonstrar como  parece haver na obra de Huxley um projeto estético que se situa entre a crítica especializada, seu público e a representação de si mesmo como alguém apto a prognosticar o futuro por meio de seu romance. Ao abordarmos a questão da morte no interior da trama ficcional, pretendemos apresentar ao leitor como esse prognóstico tenta validar-se, com mais ou menos sucesso, diante de seu público como o futuro a ser encarado pelos homens e mulheres das próximas gerações.

Comparación del sistema constructivo de Putucos con otros sistemas constructivos en tierra = Comparison of the construction system of Putucos with other construction systems in earth
Authors: Gamio Felipa Andrea
Published: September 2017

ResumenEl artículo tiene como objetivo comparar las diferentes propiedades mecánicas y físicas de 3 sistemas constructivos en tierra tales como el adobe, quincha y champa (Los Putucos), con el propósito de lograr una nueva línea de investigación para las champas y que, puedan ser parte de la implementación de las viviendas rurales que se realizan constantemente en el altiplano peruano. La metodología del trabajo consiste en la comparación de resultados obtenidos de investigaciones previas que muestren que dicho material tiene una resistencia en el tiempo superior al adobe y la quincha, sin embargo, existe ausencia de algunos datos de las champas ya que en la actualidad solo se ha realizado un análisis científico con ensayos sobre este material que serán analizados en el artículo. Es por ello que no se puede determinar en totalidad su eficiencia por la carencia de algunos ensayos, pero si podemos determinar una nueva línea de investigación.AbstractThe present article has a purpose to compare the different mechanical and physical properties of 3 construction systems or material in earth, such as Adobe, quincha and champa (The Putucos), with the purpose of achieving a new line of research for champas’ material and can be part of the rural houses implementation which are constantly being carried out in the Peruvian highlands. It has been used the comparison of results obtained from previous research that may show that the material has a higher resistance over time than others, however, there is an absence of some data from the champas and actually exist only one Scientific analysis with test on this material, that is analyzed in the article. It is for this reason that it can’t fully determine its efficiency by lack of some tests, but it can determine a new line of research.

ResumenLa creciente demanda de energía acompañada de los elevados niveles de emisión de gases contaminantes a la atmosfera hace patente la necesidad de encontrar nuevos sistemas de producción de energía. Una de las posibles alternativas se encuentra en la energía solar de concentración, y más concretamente en la tecnología termosolar con motor Stirling que alcanza unos niveles de rendimiento muy superiores a la energía solar fotovoltaica en cuanto a producción de energía eléctrica. En este trabajo se muestra el diseño y la caracterización de un prototipo de captador paraboloidal con motor Stirling, que permite obtener datos reales del funcionamiento de este tipo de sistemas. Esto permitirá modelizar de manera real el comportamiento esperado de equipos comerciales reales antes de abordar su implantación en edificios y viviendas unifamiliares.AbstractThe increasing demand for energy accompanied by high level of emission of the contaminating gases into the atmosphere underscores the need to find new energy production systems. One of the possible alternatives is concentrating solar power and, more specifically, solar thermal technology with a Stirling engine that reaches higher performance levels than photovoltaic solar energy in terms of electricity generation. This paper shows the design and characterization of a prototype paraboloidal collector with a Stirling engine that allows obtaining real data of this type of systems functioning. This will allow modelling in a real way of expected performance of real commercial devices before approaching their introduction in buildings and single-family houses.

ResumenLa adjudicación de un contrato por parte de una administración pública depende de criterios de adjudicación evaluables mediante fórmulas y de criterios evaluables mediante juicios de valor. Los primeros disponen de fórmulas definidas mientras que los segundos siempre tienen un sesgo subjetivo porque dependen del técnico que realiza la valoración. Con objeto de minimizar las consecuencias de las arbitrariedades o incertidumbres en la evaluación de los criterios evaluables mediante un juicio de valor se puede recurrir a la lógica difusa. La lógica difusa, borrosa o fuzzy es el razonamiento matemático que permite calcular de forma exacta las magnitudes correspondientes a conceptos vagos o situaciones poco previsibles para poder tener control sobre ellas. El objetivo del presente trabajo es desarrollar una metodología que permita a los órganos de contratación la evaluación de los criterios evaluables mediante un juicio de valor mediante la utilización de la lógica difusa.AbstractThe award of a contract by a public administration depends on criteria assessed by formulae and criteria assessed by value judgements. For the former, various predetermined formulae can be employed while for the criteria assessed by value judgements will always contain some subjective bias by the individual who performs the evaluation. In order to minimize the consequences of the arbitrariness or uncertainties in the evaluation of criteria assessed by value judgments is possible to use the fuzzy logic. Diffuse, fuzzy or fuzzy logic is the mathematical reasoning that allows to calculate accurately the magnitudes corresponding to vague concepts or situations that are not very predictable to have control over them. The objective of this paper is to show a methodology which permits to the contracting authority to evaluate the criteria assessed by value judgments through fuzzy numbers.
