Osservazioni sull’esposizione della creazione del corpo fatto di mente (manomaya-kāya) all’interno del Sāmaññaphala-sutta
Authors: De Notariis Bryan
Published: June 2018

This article will analyse in detail some features of a passage which describes the creation of a mind-made body (manomaya-kāya) within the Sāmaññaphala-sutta. The study starts from the translation of the term ‘manomaya’, which could have more than one grammatical interpretation. The point at issue is that both the commentarial tradition and a scholar who discussed this problem (Sue Hamilton) understand the compound with the first term (mano/manas) inflected in the instrumental case. I will argue that an interpretation, according to the genitive case, cannot be completely disregarded. Subsequently, the translation of a couple of terms (muñja and isīkā) will be discussed, having a look to modern translation, to the Buddhist world view, and to the use of these terms within some Vedic texts. Finally, an odd wording of a passage will be analysed, and the comparison with the use of the same passage in a later exegetic text will highlight the conservative feature of the tradition of Pāli texts.

Sull’economia politica delle ‘ecologie religiose’ del passato, in India e non solo
Authors: Squarcini Federico
Published: June 2018

Within today’s debate on the relationship between economics and ecology we often resort to the ancient models and ‘world ideas’ generated within Asian religious traditions. Works and authors from the past become part of the contemporary disputes among stakeholders of the economic systems and militants of the various sectors of contemporary environmentalism. In this work I intend to show myopia, risks and dangers underlying certain ways of dividing, justifying and governing the relationships that the human animal has with the ecosystem of which it is a part.
The Karma of Chicken Curry
Tibetan Masala Films and Youth Narratives of Exile
Authors: Matta Mara
Published: June 2018

This essay offers a preliminary study of the cultural translation practices by young Tibetan exilic filmmakers in India, whose films, rather than rejecting the masala formula offered by Bollywood, have tentatively adapted it to the expectations of a Tibetan diasporic audience looking for a cinema capable of attending to the escapist needs of their minds while simultaneously catering to the intimate dreams of their hearts. I contend that Tashi Wangchuk and Tsultrim Dorjee’s first long feature Phun Anu Thanu (Two Exiled Brothers, 2006) is as an original film that presents a new offer on the menu of Tibetan diasporic films, a kind of spicy curry that has been advocated as a timely necessity and a yet-to-be-fulfilled desire.
How Subjective Is the Subject?
A Fresh Look at Grammatical Relations in Mandarin Chinese
Authors: Morbiato Anna
Published: June 2018

This article re-examines the issue of grammatical relations in Mandarin Chinese in light of the results of recent large-scale typological research on grammatical relations (henceforth GRs) worldwide. Specifically, it discusses three syntactic operations and constructions that are cross-linguistically relevant to the definition of grammatical relations, namely relativisation, reflexivisation, and quantifier float. The study adopts a strictly language-internal typological approach and avails itself of natural linguistic data or sentences sanity-checked by native speakers. The aim of this paper is twofold: first, it explores the hypothesis that, in line with various other languages, GRs in Mandarin Chinese are construction-specific. Second, it proposes an alternative approach capable of explaining the conflicting evidence often pointed out in the literature on GRs and subjecthood in Mandarin Chinese.
Production and Circulation of Vernacular Italian Books Related to the Jesuit Mission in Japan in the Sixteenth Century
Authors: Favi Sonia
Published: June 2018

The reports and histories compiled by the members of the Society of Jesus in the second half of the sixteenth century were among the earliest European sources to treat ‘Japan’ as a geographical and political reality. The peculiarity of the Jesuit approach, focused on research and adaptation, is reflected in the variety of their contents, encompassing descriptions of geography, politics, society, language, religion and art. The reports were also the earliest sources on Japan to reach a wider public in Europe. They were not only delivered to Coimbra, Rome and to the different Jesuit houses, but also distributed commercially, in the form of letter-books,  throughout Europe. It can be presumed that the impact of the letter-books on European readership was enhanced by the growing popularity of periodical publications and by the expansion of the publishing market. This paper will use the reports published in vernacular Italian as a case study, and investigate the nature of such readership and how the reports fit into the Italian book market of the sixteenth century. It will analyse them in light of the cultural and economical processes that led to their production and circulation, focusing on publishing houses, editions and formats, in order to evaluate the editorial policies that led to their circulation.
Theoretical Study of Social Hybridity
Possibilities for Social Change Theory in the Age of Globalisation
Authors: Utsumi Hirofumi
Published: June 2018

The purpose of this paper is to show the new directions for reconstruction of the concept of society made possible by another concept – that of hybridity. First we shall argue that in the era of globalisation, the conventional view perceiving society as a self-fulfilling entity is no longer valid. Next, we will critically review the spatial and temporal frameworks, which have served as the basis for the concept of society so far, basing our analysis on the recent theories of space and time. We shall then focus on the concept of hybridity, showing that it can serve as a pivot providing us with the clue for reconstruction of society making the latter valid again. Although ‘hybridity’ is a term predominantly used in cultural research, here we shall try to look at it from a sociological perspective. We shall demonstrate that ‘social hybridity’ presents a new way to see society as a complex entity made of various interactions both within and across borders. Lastly, in order to show how this theory can be applied in empirical research, we shall introduce the concept of ‘zones of interactivity’. We will show that the ‘social hybridity’ approach built around a core of the ‘zone’ concept makes it possible to resurrect ‘society’ helping us to see the present social change from a completely new perspective.
Autores españoles en los escritos de Kalmi Baruh
Authors: Prenz Cecilia
Published: June 2018

This paper focuses on the intellectual work of the Sephardic Spanish philologist Kalmi Baruh, considered the father of Spanish studies in Yugoslavia. His studies on the Judeo-Spanish language and Spanish literature are analysed within the issues concerning the Sephardi community in the Bosnian context between the two wars. More specifically, the focus is on Kalmi Baruh’s essays on Ortega y Gasset, whose philosophical thought is important for Baruh own critical reflections. He also writes on Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca and Miguel de Unamuno.

Italia y Argentina. Novelas contemporáneas narran las migraciones decimonónicas
Authors: Magnani Ilaria
Published: June 2018

It is only after the last years of the last century that the Italian and Argentine narratives have reconsidered migratory themes. This article compares two novels, Mar de olvido (1992) by the Argentine Rubén Tizziani and Tango alla fine del mondo (2013) by the Italian Diego Cugia, who share a common plot: the saga of an Italian family forced to emigrate to Argentina braided with an icon of argentinity such as tango. The analysis aims to show how a common interest and the use of analogous themes give rise to literary products aesthetically and ideologically very different. Historical circumstances, national origin, different writers intentions and readership shape literary results and national reception.
Memoria, violencia y utopia en Antzaren Bidea (2007) / El camino de la oca (2008) de Jokin Muñoz, una novela vasca sobre la Guerra Civil
Authors: Kortazar Jon
Published: June 2018

Jokin Muñoz’s novel, Antzararen Bidea (2007) / El camino de la oca (2008), narrates memories of the Spanish Civil War in Navarre. The analysis combines narratology with Memory Studies. It concludes that this is a unique novel in the Basque literary system, thanks to the use of the space – Navarre’s Rivera (river-land area) –, repression exercised on civilian population and ideological depiction of characters. The main character is a Carlist (royalist-traditionalist) that feels nostalgia for the bygone days of the Spanish Republic when different ideologies could coexist in peace.
Europeanization Through the European Women’s Lobby: A Sociological Comparison of the French and Belgian National Coordinations
Authors: Lafon Claire
Published: June 2018

What impact has the creation of the European Women’s Lobby (EWL) had on national feminist Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in France and Belgium? To find this out, I examine how the national CSOs’ coordinations have adapted their practices, discourses, strategies and internal organisation to be part of European Civil Society. Drawing on 40 interviews and two internships within both French and Belgian EWL intermediary coordinations, I put forward an actor-based sociological perspective focusing on three causal paths in order to explain the findings derived from comparing the Europeanization of the CSOs in France and in Belgium. If identical effects of this Europeanization were identified in both coordinations, the French coordination appears to be more proactive on EU issues and more EWL-orientated than the Belgian. These two distinctive outcomes can be explained by three factors: cultural, organisational and individual. While cultural factors explain some long-term Europeanization outcomes, factors to do with actors’ individualities also highlight the mutability of the Europeanization process.

Published: June 2018

Durante los procesos de conservación espermática se incrementa la producción deradicales libres y se ha planteado la adición de antioxidantes para mejorar la calidad seminaldurante el almacenamiento. Ello asume importancia en especies como el cerdo, donde seha relacionado el estrés oxidativo al daño del espermatozoide durante la conservación, loque afecta su capacidad fecundante. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar elefecto antioxidante de la melatonina durante la conservación de semen de cerdos a 16°C.Las muestras seminales se tomaron de verracos de 7-18 meses de edad. La recolección delsemen se realizó con mano enguantada. Las muestras seminales con parámetros óptimosfueron diluidas y divididas en alícuotas: control (con diluyente), control con vehículo (diluyentey etanol) y semen con melatonina (1,25 mM). Luego de la preparación de las alícuotas(día 0) y al día 1 de conservación a 16ºC, se evaluaron indicadores de lipoperoxidacióncomo dienos conjugados (DC, extracción con isopropanol) y malondialdehído; la actividadenzimática de la superoxido dismutasa (SOD) se determinó mediante un kit comercial. Losresultados fueron analizados mediante ANOVA, con paquete estadístico SPSS 15.0 paraWindows con p≤0,05. Los niveles de DC en las muestras con melatonina se incrementaronal día 0 y 1 de conservación, de manera significativa (p≤0,05) con respecto al grupo controly con el vehículo, mientras que las concentraciones de malondialdehído al día 1 de conservaciónen las muestras con melatonina presentaron valores significativamente menores(p≤0,05) con respecto al grupo control, con mayor actividad de la SOD (p≤0,05). Se concluyeque la adición de melatonina al semen de cerdo diluido tiene efecto antioxidante durantela conservación espermática a 16°C.

El objetivo del trabajo fue evaluar el uso de tratamientos de control del ciclo estral, determinando el estado genital mediante ultrasonografía, sobre la eficiencia de detección y distribución de celos, y la preñez en vacas inseminadas artificialmente. El trabajo se realizó con 380 vacas. Los vientres fueron clasificados por medio de ultrasonografía según las estructuras ováricas y asignadas a cada tratamiento. En el tratamiento 1 se incluyeron vacas que presentaron cuerpo lúteo; se aplicó una dosis de prostaglandina y se realizó detección de celos e inseminación artificial por siete días. Para el tratamiento 2 se utilizaron las vacas que poseían folículos ≥ 8 mm de diámetro, se aplicó una dosis de hormona liberadora de gonadotrofinas, siete días después se colocó una dosis de prostaglandina y se procedió a la detección de celos e inseminación artificial por siete días. En el tratamiento 3 se realizó inseminación artificial a tiempo fijo con vacas que tenían folículos ≥ 8 mm o cuerpo lúteo. El tratamiento 4 se llevó a cabo con vacas que presentaron folículos ≥ 8 mm o cuerpo lúteo, se realizó inseminación artificial a celo detectado durante 21 días sin aplicación alguna de drogas. A los 30 días de finalizadas las inseminaciones se realizó diagnóstico de gestación por ultrasonografía para determinar estados de preñez. La evaluación de la detección de los celos fue del 81,8%, 84,5% y 46% (p<0,05) para los tratamientos 1, 2 y 4 respectivamente. Los porcentajes de concepción fueron del 59,26%; 65,59%; 34,02% y 65,22% (p<0,05) y la preñez por inseminación fue de 48,48%, 55,45%, 34,02% y 30% (p>0,05), para los tratamiento 1, 2, 3 y 4 respectivamente. El uso de tratamientos hormonales permitió mejorar el porcentaje de vacas detectadas en celo y la preñez por inseminación fue mayor en los tratamientos donde se inseminó a celo detectado.

Published: June 2018

La brucelosis es una enfermedad infectocontagiosa que afecta a especies domésticas y salvajes, caracterizada por la producción de trastornos reproductivos y pérdidas en la producción. Es además una zoonosis de importancia mundial. Existen factores de riesgo asociados a la presencia de brucelosis en los animales domésticos, que favorecen el ingreso y la permanencia de la enfermedad en una población. En el presente trabajo se realizó un análisis de la prevalencia serológica de la brucelosis en rodeos bovinos, bubalinos, caprinos y ovinos, así como la correlación entre la presencia de animales serorreactores y determinados factores de riesgo. El trabajo se realizó durante 3 años en establecimientos pecuarios de la Provincia de Formosa. Se compararon encuestas epidemiológicas con la información proveniente de muestreos para análisis serológicos. Se investigó un total de 1686 animales, de los cuales 657 fueron bovinos, 265 bubalinos, 569 caprinos y 195 ovinos. Se analizaron 40 establecimientos pecuarios de los departamentos Formosa, Pilagá, Pirané, Pilcomayo y Patiño. La prevalencia de rodeos positivos fue de 12,5; 50; 40,9 y 0% y de animales positivos de 1,37; 10,94; 7,9 y 0% en bovinos, bubalinos, caprinos y ovinos respectivamente. El análisis de odds ratio arrojó significación estadística para los factores: (a) presencia de síntomas, (b) aislamiento de hembras próximas al parto, (c) cobertura vacunal y (d) tamaño del rodeo. El estadístico chi cuadrado mostró diferencias significativas en la presentación de brucelosis comparando bovinos con bubalinos y caprinos, pero no hubo diferencias cuando se compararon bubalinos y caprinos entre sí. Se concluye que la brucelosis está presente en los rodeos de animales domésticos de la Provincia de Formosa, que existen factores de riesgo asociados al mantenimiento de la enfermedad en las poblaciones y que la aplicación regular de medidas de manejo sanitario reduce la frecuencia de la enfermedad

Authors: Shakya Henish , Singh Saurav , Lakhey Ashish
Published: June 2018

Introduction: Lower respiratory tract infection is a major cause of death in children in a developing country and anemia is found to be one of the commonest associated cofactors. This study was aimed to determine association of anemia in children with lower respiratory tract infections.Materials and Methods: The retrospective study was done over a one-year period for children under 5 years of age, admitted in Pediatric Ward of a tertiary Hospital in Lalitpur. The study included 100 diagnosed cases of lower respiratory tract infections as per WHO criteria and 100 age and sex matched patients who did not have respiratory complaints as controls, excluding prematurity, chronic diseases, malnutrition and severe systemic illness. Appropriate clinical history, examination routine investigations like hemoglobin, peripheral smear, and Chest X-ray were included.Results: The age distribution maximum children were in the age group of 3 months to 23 months with significant association with prevalence of both pneumonia (p value 0.005) and anemia (p value 0.002). Anemia was found to be a significant risk factor for LRTI (p value < 0.001) with odds ratio of 2.68 and 95% CI (1.51 – 4.75).Conclusions: Anemia was significantly found to be associated with lower respiratory tract infections and these children were found to be 2.68 times more susceptible to lower respiratory tract infections. Early diagnosis and prevention of anemia is thus important to reduce the incidence of lower respiratory tract infections in children.Nepalese Medical Journal. vol.1, No. 1, 2018, page: 5-8

Published: June 2018

We have integrated social media into our lives by choice and we in the medical practice, amidst our busy schedules, have been using it for easy connectivity with friends and families and also, if not importantly, for our continued education. With the advent of digital pathology the image sharing has become much easier. This has been further expedited by cameras on the smart phones and editing apps. We have several groups dedicated to numerous subspecialties in pathology and they make peer reviewing and sharing of images, articles and relevant advances relatively easy. However, like all human endeavors, the lines can be crossed. Hence balance has to be maintained regarding patient privacy and our own professional needs. American College of Physicians and the Federation of State Medical Boards has proposed guidelines for the same. These guidelines will be amended and improved in future with techniqual advances.Nepalese Medical Journal, vol.1, No. 1, 2018, Page: 39-42

Published: June 2018

The toxicity of Baclofen is extremely unusual. However, its predominant renal clearance makes its vulnerable in patients with impaired renal function. Clinical manifestations may begin as early as 2-3 days after starting the drug, even with a smaller dosage.A 73-year-old man with end-stage renal disease on maintenance hemodialysis was admitted to our emergency department with progressive confusion, hallucination and a generalized decrease in muscular tone. There was no significant metabolic or infectious etiology that could have clarified his condition. A thorough laboratory and imaging workup was negative too. A detailed history of his medication revealed that he had recently been prescribed baclofen for neck muscular spasm (10mg twice daily). He was then diagnosed with baclofen toxicity and was treated with intensive hemodialysis. During his admission, few sessions of hemodialysis on consecutive days, eventually produced expected clinical improvement and a complete return to his previous baseline mental status.Nepalese Medical Journal, vol.1, No. 1, 2018, page: 54-56
Engineering properties of unfired building bricks produced using URHA-FA cement blends
Authors:   Department of Engineering and Technology, Hong Duc University, Ngo Si Huy , Huynh Trong Phuoc ,   Department of Rural Technology, College of Rural Development, Can Tho University
Published: June 2018

The production of cement and traditional fired clay bricks consumes intensive energy and inversely affects the environment. In addition, a huge quantity of solid waste materials such as rice husk ash and fly ash (FA) are generated from both industrial and agricultural activities. This study investigates the use of unground rice husk ash (URHA) and FA for manufacturing unfired building bricks. FA was used as a cement substitute (15%, 30%, and 50%), whereas URHA was used as a chippings replacement (5%, 10%, and 15%) in the brick mixtures. Test results indicate that all of the brick samples had consistent dimensions and were free of visible defects. Generally, increasing the URHA or FA replacement levels reduced the strength, bulk density, and material cost. However, it increased the water absorption capacity of the brick samples. Moreover, bricks with 10% URHA and 50% FA registered the lowest cost. Properties of all of the brick samples met the Grade M15 requirements of the TCVN 6477-2011 standard of high quality unfired building bricks.

Published: June 2018

In this study, the alkaline solutions (NaOH) with concentrations from 1M to 18M, red mud (RM) and silica fume (SF) were used as reactors in geopolymer reactions. RM contains 7.40% SiO2 and 13.65% Al2o3and SF has 94.50% SiO2, but only the active oxides can participate in the geopolymer reactions. The activity of the oxides was investigated by determining the compressive strength of the samples under different curing conditions. The characteristics of the geopolymer samples were determined by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA)/differential thermal analysis (DTA) and nuclear magnetic resonance analysis (NMR). The experimental results indicate that active silica mainly exists in SF. In the structure of geopolymers, the silicon can bond directly with each other (Si-Si) or be linked through ‘bridging’ oxygen (Si-O-Si) to form independent polymer chains, while aluminium atoms can only replace the silicon atoms in Si-O-Si polymer chains to form Si-O-Al instead.

This paper assesses the risk of lead and cadmium heavy metals on Cyprinus carpio in laboratory conditions. The research determined the 96 hours LC50 value of lead nitrate and cadmium nitrate in the fish Cyprinus carpio. This study combined the ecological toxicology test with the ecological hazard description to determine the acute toxicity effects of lead and cadmium on Cyprinus carpio. Ecological toxicology took place in 96 hours with test concentration of 0.25; 0.5; 1.0; 1.5; 2.0 mg/l on lead and 0.5; 1.0; 1.5; 2.0; 3.0 mg/l on cadmium. Through probit analysis, the LC50 after 96 hours of lead and cadmium in Cyprinus carpio was found to be 0.987 mg/l and 1.171 mg/l, respectively. Through monitoring the biological behaviour of Cyprinus carpio when exposed to lead and cadmium, it was observed that the number of deaths is proportional to the concentration of chemical exposure time. The abnormal morphology and behaviour of the fish also increased with testing time and lead and cadmium concentration. Cyprinus carpio also absorbs lead and cadmium in its body; the cumulative content is similar as above.

Published: June 2018

Nam Dinh province is located in the Red river delta with a relatively flat terrain. The North East of Nam Dinh is bordered by the Red river and the southwest by the Day river and has a coastline of approximately 80 km. Given the geographical location, Nam Dinh has favourable conditions for agricultural and aquaculture production. Climate change creates a large number of potential risks for Nam Dinh. This includes sea level rise, typhoons, flood tide, etc. According to the climate change and sea level rise scenario in 2016, if the sea level rises by 100 cm, the flood risk area in coastal districts such as Hai Hau would be 67.34%, Giao Thuy 64.6%, Nghia Hung 81.61% and Xuan Truong 59.3% [1]. According to the monitoring data from Vietnam Institute of Meteorology, Hydrology and Climate Change (IMHEN), the salinity intrusion area due to sea level rise is likely to widen, which degrades and affects the area of the mangrove ecosystem [2]. In addition, the sea level rise may reduce the resilience of irrigation system due to the changes in estuarine and coastal dynamics such as water levels, flows, waves, etc. Through synthesising the local and international guidelines and in combination with expert consultation and field surveys, this paper develops an assessment procedure for sea level rise that causes economic damage to agricultural land use in order to quantify the impact of sea level rise in 4 coastal districts of Xuan Truong, Giao Thuy, Hai Hau and Nghia Hung in Nam Dinh province.

Authors:   Vietnam Academy for Water Resources, Tran Dinh Hoa
Published: June 2018

The Mekong delta is the southernmost region of Vietnam, with a population of approximately 20 million and a total area (excluding islands) of about 4 million hectares, of which about 2.60 million hectares are used for developing agriculture and aquaculture. The Mekong delta is particularly important for the overall development of the country. However, in recent years, under the impact of global warming, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has defined the Mekong delta as one of the three most vulnerable plains, due to climate change, sea level rise, and land subsidence. Especially, the impact of water resources exploitation of upper Mekong countries has been posing great challenges to the sustainable development of the region. Recognizing the nature and development trend of the Mekong delta, new threats and challenges that help to form scientific bases for development models and solutions for the region is very important. This article presents assessments on the challenges and strategic viewpoints in regard to sustainable development and adaptation to climate change of the Mekong delta.

Published: June 2018

Bankalarda kamu denetçileri, bağımsız denetçileri, iç
kontrol ve iç denetim bölümlerindeki denetçiler tarafından güvence faaliyetleri
icra edilmektedir. Bu faaliyetlerde bazı konular mükerrer denetime tabi
tutulurken bazı konular ise denetim alanının dışında kalmaktadır. Bu nedenle
güvence faaliyetlerinin koordine edilmesi bir zorunluluktur. Bu çalışma bankacılıkta
güvence faaliyetlerinde önemli bir husus olan konsolide güvenceye yönelik
olarak hazırlanmıştır. Söz konusu çalışma ile konsolide güvence yaklaşımının Türk
literatürüne kazandırılması ve bankacılıkta konsolide güvenceye ilişkin kavramsal
çerçevenin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada konsolide güvencenin
teorik çerçevesine ek olarak bankaların dikkat etmesi gereken kritik hususlar
vurgulanmış ve bir konsolide güvence planlama örneğine yer verilmiştir. Sonuç
olarak bankalarda iç kontrol ve iç denetim tarafından gerçekleştirilen güvence faaliyetlerinin
koordine edilebileceği ve bankaların konsolide güvence yaklaşımından birçok
fayda sağlayabileceği belirlenmiştir.
