Authors: Prokofeva Galina Petrovna , Prokofev Aleksandr Alekseevich
Published: December 2020

Цель. Статья посвящена такому естественному процессу, как потребление. Актуальность обращения к потреблению обусловливают меняющиеся социально-экономические отношения, формирующие новые потребительские установки общества, живущего в эпоху изобилия товаров. На текущем этапе потребление превратилось в сложно структурированную, неоднородную неотъемлемую функцию самого общества. Делается предположение о реализации крупными экономическими агентами (в том числе транснациональными корпорациями) стратегий формирования потребительских аллокаций, направленных на управление потребностями конечных пользователей продукции посредством формирования у них потребительских установок. Авторы ставят целью выделить риски дальнейшей ориентации общества на увеличении потребления.Метод или методология проведения работы. Основу исследования составляют общенаучные методы познания (анализ, синтез, логические методы), а также историко-философский метод.Результаты. Результаты исследования заключаются в уточнении роли потребления в развитии социально-экономических отношений. Кроме того, выделено формирование потребительских аллокаций, в качестве основной современной стратегии, используемой транснациональными корпорациями. Предложены направления деятельности государства в сфере экономико-социальной политики по регулированию потребления.Область применения результатов. Результаты могут быть применены при использовании риск-ориентированного подхода в управлении экономическими субъектами различного масштаба.

Published: December 2020

Цель. Предметное пространство статьи очерчивает проблематику вопросов, связанных с определением статуса исторического знания в парадигмальном ракурсе рациональной культуры. В статье реализована концепция мифологемы социально-исторического знания в формате теории многоуровневой реальности Н. Гартмана.Методы. Основу исследования составляет концепт мифологемы как атрибутивной формы воспроизведения истории. Методологический базис исследования составили принципы неоклассического, феноменологического, логико-теоретического, системно-синтетического подходов.Результаты. История, вовлечённая человеком в процесс организации социального знания, наделяется познающим субъектом иными качествами, чем располагает объективно. Данное обстоятельство обусловлено принадлежностью истории и субъекта к противоположным форматам реальности. Установление параметров корреляционного взаимодействия между историей и субъектом исторической рефлексии предоставляет возможности раскрыть экзистенциальные смыслы освоения исторического. Мифологема, возникающая вследствие синтеза известного и предполагаемого, становится одним из атрибутов исторического знания, функция которого заключается в объединении образов прошлого с культурной парадигмой настоящего. Мифологема определяется не как произвольная реакция субъекта, вызванная избытком его воображения, а как следствие процессов адаптации исторической информации соответствующему типу культуры.Область применения результатов. Результаты могут быть задействованы для формирования концептов организации картины социально-исторической реальности.

РЕЛИГИОЗНО-ЭСТЕТИЧЕСКИЕ ПРЕДСТАВЛЕНИЯ ИНДУИЗМА: АНАЛОГИИ И ОСОБЕННОСТИ
Authors: Sobolev Yuri Victorovich
Published: December 2020

В статье рассматриваются основные представления и базовые понятия индуистской эстетики. Проблемная область обнаруживает себя в вопросе восприятия европейской культурой эстетики индуизма. Исходя из историко-культурного положения эстетического знания, каким оно представлено в европейской традиции, показаны основные тенденции и подходы к феномену эстетического, где основное место занимает эпоха немецкой классической философии – «колыбель» эстетической науки (А. Баумгартен, И. Кант). Подчёркнутая неоднородность эстетического знания есть свидетельство его проблемного статуса в европейском историко-философском дискурсе, а вместе с тем, именно оно даёт возможность видения на этом фоне гармоничного места эстетики в индуистской культуре. Главным образом, это связано с особенностями религиозно-мировоззренческих систем. В статье проводится аналогия и различие между теоретическими и ритуальными представлениями и практиками в христианстве и индуизме. В частности, в качестве общего места называется значение «пороговых» людей – лиминалиев в духовной жизни общества. В числе же особых отличий называется «естественная встроенность» эстетики в религиозную систему Индии, в то время как в европейской эстетике религиозный мир лишь одна из сфер эстетического. Так, на ряде понятий, при помощи метода компаративистской текстовой аналитики, опираясь на ведущих отечественных востоковедов и зарубежных исследователей (В. Шохин, Д. Зильберман, Е. Торчинов, Р. Генон, Н. Гупта), показывается тождественность религиозно-эстетических представлений в индуизме, а также возможность взаимного «культурного перевода» таких основных понятий как «эстетика» и «эстетическое», «раса» и «бхава». В заключительной части статьи обобщаются специфические черты индуистской эстетики, уточняются понятия, подводятся итоги.

Authors: Vlasov Dmitriy
Published: December 2020

Within the framework of this article, the mechanisms for constructing and researching the game model for choosing the investor's optimal investment strategy in various information conditions are disclosed: building many players, building many players' strategies, the option of formalizing the payment function in the form of a game matrix, many optimality criteria, methods of justifying the choice of the strategy optimality criterion. Against the background of the application of classical criteria (Savage criterion, Wald criterion, Hodge-Lehman criterion, Hermeyer criterion), special attention is paid to the analysis of the possibilities of using the integrated Wald-Savage criterion for the study of game models, which allows to smooth the shortcomings of classical criteria and take into account the investor's appetite for risk. Attention is focused on the need to justify the choice of the criterion for the optimality of investment strategies, as well as the need of the researcher to clarify the states of nature and the probabilities of their implementations. The mechanisms for constructing and researching game models presented in this article can be used to improve methodological systems for teaching applied mathematical disciplines at an economic university, to build new variable educational disciplines on modern issues of decision theory, as well as within the framework of the system of advanced training in economics.

IRISH-AMERICAN PATRIOTISM: THE TRANSATLANTIC POLITICS AND HUMANIST CULTURE OF COLUM MCCANN.
Authors: Markey Alfred
Published: December 2020

This article proposes the novel TransAtlantic, from the IrishAmerican writer Colum McCann, as an example of what Edward Said called a “countermemory.” Such a countermemory facilitates the taking of critical positions against what the British intellectual Tony Judt called the “Washington Consensus:” the ideological ‘pensée unique’ which has dominated the Western world in recent decades, resulting in the substitution of an ethically-informed public conversation by a powerful discourse which prioritises, above all, the values of the so-called marketplace. This article explores how, via his historical novel, his participation as a public intellectual and through his concept of identity as art, McCann gives us a world of different values, values of trans-national and universal solidarity which implicate figures from Frederick Douglass to Barack Obama or the Hollywood actor Gabriel Byrne, and are expressed perhaps most radically in the language of what we may call an IrishAmerican “patriotism.”
Development and Prototype Testing of an Agricultural Nozzle Clog Detection Device
Authors: Vong Chin Nee , Larbi Peter Ako
Published: December 2020

Highlights

Prototypes of an agricultural nozzle clog detection system (for 18 nozzles) have been successfully developed.

Spray quality characteristics (droplet size, pattern, and coverage) were not significantly affected when testing the device with extended-range nozzles (TeeJet XR8004).

Most of the spray quality characteristics were significantly affected when testing the device with ultra low-drift nozzles (John Deere PSULDQ2004).

Abstract. Agricultural nozzles are the main components that perform the spraying of agrochemicals, and their proper functionality is a key element for uniform spray application on crops. Because nozzles have small orifices, they can become clogged when there is debris from the agrochemical in the tank. Nozzle clogging during spray application results in poor pest and weed management and increased cost for re-spraying the affected crop row. Measures used to prevent nozzles from clogging include using screens or strainers to filter out debris before it reaches the nozzle tip, as well as performing regular checks on the nozzles. However, nozzle clogging still occurs during spraying despite the precautions taken. Thus, a device that can detect nozzle clogging during spraying is necessary to enable a quicker response that will ensure uniform application across each row of the crop. A novel, patented device for detecting clogged nozzles that is externally attachable to each nozzle on a sprayer boom was developed in the Precision Application Technology Lab at Arkansas State University. The main objective of this article is to present a general description of this prototype nozzle clog detection device and the nozzle clog detection system. Spray droplet size and pattern tests under controlled conditions and spray coverage tests under field conditions were conducted with and without the device to determine if there were significant differences in droplet size, spray pattern, or spray coverage between using and not using the device. The tests demonstrated that this new technology has potential for detecting clogged nozzles without significantly influencing spray quality for extended-range nozzles but not for ultra low-drift nozzles. To increase the reliability of the performance of this new technology, further improvements in the design need to be considered. Keywords: Clogged nozzle, Detection, Droplet size, Prototype device, Spray coverage, Spray pattern.

Authors: Garg Arpan , Ganesh Talari
Published: December 2020

The long duration of the COVID-19 pandemic has now compelled people to come out of their cells and begin engaging in various activities using different modes and in different places, which involves a high risk of being infected by COVID-19. This work aims to analyze the degree of the risk involved in such activities with the implementation of the latest re-open and unlock phase in India, the second most COVID-19 affected country. Seven important activities and the mode and place of conducting these activities are considered as the main criteria and sub-criteria of this study. The responses are formed with a pairwise comparison matrix, and an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach is used to calculate the criteria/sub-criteria weights. An integrated AHP analysis output representation consisting of the degree of risk, grades, ranking, and major reasons of risk for each criterion and sub-criteria of this work is presented. This risk assessment study may help identify risky activities so that people can choose other available alternatives.

Higher education places a great emphasis on research. In order to remain competitive, Catholic universities also place a great focus on research. The quality and quantity of lecturer research is one of the determining factors in the ranking of a tertiary institution. An evaluation of lecturer research productivity requires an instrument to measure lecturer research activities and understand determinants. Lecturer productivity involves many complex factors that are both objective and subjective, and is considered part of multi-criteria decision making. This study uses the AHP approach to determine the weights of the criteria and sub-criteria and their dominant factors. This method is used to evaluate the productivity of lecturers at Unika De La Salle Manado and has implications and applications for all universities.

Insulin resistance (IR) precedes the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and increases cardiovascular disease risk. Although genome wide association studies (GWAS) have uncovered new loci associated with T2D, their contribution to explain the mechanisms leading to decreased insulin sensitivity has been very limited. Thus, new approaches are necessary to explore the genetic architecture of insulin resistance. To that end, we generated an iPSC library across the spectrum of insulin sensitivity in humans. RNA-seq based analysis of 310 induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) clones derived from 100 individuals allowed us to identify differentially expressed genes between insulin resistant and sensitive iPSC lines. Analysis of the co-expression architecture uncovered several insulin sensitivity-relevant gene sub-networks, and predictive network modeling identified a set of key driver genes that regulate these co-expression modules. Functional validation in human adipocytes and skeletal muscle cells (SKMCs) confirmed the relevance of the key driver candidate genes for insulin responsiveness.

Published: December 2020

Leprosy is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae (M. leprae), with about 210,000 new cases per year worldwide. Although numerous risk loci have been uncovered by genome-wide association studies, the effects of common genetic variants are relatively modest. To identify possible new genetic locus involved in susceptibility to leprosy, whole exome sequencing was performed for 28 subjects including 14 patients and 12 unaffected members from 8 leprosy-affected families as well as another case and an unrelated control, and then the follow-up SNP genotyping of the candidate variants was studied in case-control sample sets. A rare missense variant in mitochondrial ribosomal protein S5 (MRPS5), rs200730619 (c. 95108402T>C [p. Tyr137Cys]) was identified and validated in 369 cases and 270 controls of Chinese descent (Padjusted = 0.006, odds ratio [OR] = 2.74) as a contributing factor to leprosy risk. Moreover, the mRNA level of MRPS5 was downregulated in M. leprae sonicate-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Our results indicated that MRPS5 may be involved in leprosy pathogenesis. Further studies are needed to determine if defective MRPS5 could lead to impairment of energy metabolism of host immune cells, which could further cause defect in clearing M. leprae and increase susceptibility to infection.

Published: December 2020

The peach fruit flyBactrocera zonata(Saunders) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is an important invasive species causing substantial losses to the horticulture industry worldwide. Despite the severe economic impact caused by this pest in its native and invaded range, information on its potential range expansion under changing climate remains largely unknown. In this study, we employed maximum entropy (MaxEnt) modeling approach to predict the global potential climatic suitability ofB.zonataunder current climate and four Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) for the year 2050. Outputs from MaxEnt were merged with Spatial Production Allocation Model. A natural dispersal model using Gaussian dispersal kernel was developed. The Areas Under Curves generated by MaxEnt were greater than 0.92 for both current and future climate change scenarios, indicating satisfactory performances of the models. Mean temperature of the coldest quarter, precipitation of driest month and temperature seasonality significantly influenced the potential establishment ofB.zonata. The models indicated high climatic suitability in tropical and subtropical areas in Asia and Africa, where the species has already been recorded. Suitable areas were predicted in West, East and Central Africa and to a lesser extent in Central and South America. Future climatic scenarios models, RCP 4.5 and 8.5 show significant potential range expansion ofB.zonatain Western Sahara, while RCP 4.5 highlighted expansion in Southern Africa. Contrarily, RCP 2.6 showed considerable decrease inB.zonatarange expansion in Central, East and West Africa. There was increased climatic suitability ofB.zonatain Egypt and Middle East under RCP 6.0. The dispersal model revealed thatB.zonatacould spread widely within its vicinity with decreasing infestation rates away from the source points. Our findings can help to guide biosecurity agencies in decision-making and serve as an early warning tool to safeguard against the pest invasion into unaffected areas.
Long-term associations among male sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus)
Authors: Kobayashi Hayao , Whitehead Hal , Amano Masao
Published: December 2020

Little is known about the social structure of male sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) after they leave their natal units. While previous studies found no evidence for preferred associations among males, the observation of mass-strandings consisting exclusively of males, suggest that they have strong social bonds. To investigate the social associations among male sperm whales, we used half weight index of association, permutation tests and standardized lagged association rate models on a large photo-identification database collected between 2006 and 2017 in Nemuro Strait, Japan. Our results suggest that while male sperm whales are not as social as females, they do form long term associations, have preferred companionship, and forage in social proximity to each other. The best-fitting model to the standardized lagged association rate showed that associations among males last for at least 2.7 years and as most males leave the area after 2 years, associations may last for longer. Twenty dyads were observed associating over more than 2 years, for a maximum 5 years. One dyad was observed associating on 19 different days and clustered on 7 different days. Male associations may function to enhance foraging or to fend off predators. Such relationships seem to be adapted to a pelagic habitat with uncertain resource availability and predation pressure.
ICT, information sharing and a new hybrid lean-agile performance: Empirical evidence from automotive hierarchical supply chains
Authors: Adel Heba Mohamed
Published: December 2020

The purpose of this study was to investigate the direct and indirect effects of information and communication technology (ICT) on a hybrid lean-agile supply chain performance (HSCP) in terms of leanness, agility and leagility of automotive supply chains (SCs) in Egypt. A conceptual framework was proposed and tested using questionnaires, which were filled through face-to-face interviews. A mixed-methods approach was used to achieve a comprehensive understanding of research relationships. The population was 101 international organizations in Egyptian automotive industry within its three sub-sectors (manufacturers of auto-feeding and automotive industries and distributors). Structural equation modelling was used to examine the proposed relationships. Results indicated that ICT positively/significantly affects both SC integration (SCI) and HSCP. SCI positively/significantly affects SC information sharing (SCIS). SCIS affects HSCP in terms of mass customization and postponement positively/significantly. The three sub-sectors are using a new blended SC strategy that hybridizes attributes of each approach according to the SC node’s position. This article adds value to the current debate on the applicability of implementing a blended lean-agile SC strategy by integrating two main lines of management research (leagility approach and hybridized lean-agile manufacturing systems) into one new hybrid approach. It is the first study that investigated empirically the direct/indirect ICT–HSCP relationships of multiple nodes in a heterogeneous market. It maps the hierarchical auto SCs of an emerging market. It provides automotive SC players with practical insights on using ICT for better SCI and SCIS and choosing the appropriate aspects of leanness, agility and leagility based on the organization’s position across its SC.

Sektore aeronautikoan erabiltzen diren super-aleazio termorresistenteak lantzea erronka zaila da, ebaketa-erremintak azkar higatzen baititu. Horregatik, erreminta horien errendimendua hobetzeko, fabrikatzaileek, ebaketa geometriaren eragina ulertzea funtsezkoa dela uste dute. Hori dela eta, artikulu honetan erremintaren ebaketa sorbatzeko erradioak eta jaulkitze- zein azpijan-angeluek daukaten eragina aztertzen da. Abiapuntu gisa, diseinu esperimental (DOE) bat burutu da, non aurrean aipatutako hiru parametroen eragina kuantifikatzen den, Elementu Finituen Metodoaren (EF) bitartez. Ondoren, proba esperimentalei ekin zaie, EF softwaretik lortutako emaitza teorikoak balioztatzeko. Emaitzek erakusten dute ebaketa sorbatzearen erradioak erremintaren higaduran eragin zuzena daukala eta balio egokia aukeratuz erremintaren bizitza erabilgarria areagotzeko gai dela.

Authors: Arrieta Idiakez Francisco Javier , Martinez Etxeberria Gonzalo , López Rodríguez Josune
Published: December 2020

A través de este estudio se pretenden identificar y concretar los principios de la Economía Social en las mutualidades que operan en Euskadi, y principalmente, en su variante más importante: las Entidades de Previsión Social Voluntaria. No obstante, previamente, se analizará el significado que presenta el concepto de mutualidad, ante la ausencia de concreción en la Ley 5/2011, de 29 de marzo, de Economía Social, pese a referirse a esta como entidad de la Economía Social
Discharging the moral responsibility for collective unjust enrichment in the global economy
Authors: Corvino Fausto , Pirni Alberto
Published: December 2020

In this article we wonder how a person can discharge the political responsibility for supporting and benefiting from unjust social structures. Firstly, we introduce the concept of structural injustice and defend it against three possible objections: ‘explanatory nationalism’, a diachronic interpretation of the benefits of industry-led growth, being part of a social structure does not automatically mean being responsible for its negative consequences. Then, we hold that both Iris Marion Young’s ‘social connection model’ and Robin Zheng’s ‘role-ideal model’ provide clear indications on how to unload responsibility for supporting/participating in unjust social structures, but fail to explain how to get rid of responsibility for unjust enrichment. We maintain that both models should be complemented with a global redistributive scheme that allows to disgorge the benefits that are unfairly obtained in the global economic system, besides undertaking collective transformative actions and assuming ideal-role responsibilities.
Flagpoles anyone? Causal and explanatory asymmetries
Authors: Woodward James
Published: December 2020

This paper discusses some procedures developed in recent work in machine learning for inferring causal direction from observational data. The role of independence and invariance assumptions is emphasized. Several familiar examples including Hempel’s flagpole problem are explored in the light of these ideas. The framework is then applied to problems having to do with explanatory direction in non-causal explanation.
Mickey B/Macbeth: Bringing Shakespeare to Prisons and Academia via Film Adaptation
Authors: García Periago Rosa
Published: December 2020

This article examines in detail the project that will be carried out in Murcia (Spain) in 2021 involving Mickey B (dir. Tom Magill, 2007), a full-length film adaptation of Macbeth, filmed and created by the inmates of a high-security prison in Northern Ireland, Her Majesty’s Prison Maghaberry. As part of my collaboration with the Educational Shakespeare Company (ESC, now rebranded as esc films), a charity with branches in Northern Ireland and the US, I translated Mickey B into Spanish. Through this translation, I intend to introduce esc film’s work with socially excluded groups to both marginalized groups themselves and to academia in order to bring into focus the possibilities of community engagement and the necessary interlinks between academia and what happens beyond the academic world. This case study is the first to examine a finished Prison Shakespeare film project (Mickey B) outside Northern Ireland. It aims to analyze the process and artistic outcome of the project and to introduce into a Spanish context some of the ideas promoted by the film (the choice of Shakespeare’s plays to promote a reparative cultural work or the notion of inmates as victims as well as perpetrators). However, my aim is to go beyond prison Shakespeare, and to explore the numerous possibilities a film adaptation like Mickey B could have, not only in a prison context, but also within academia and film theatres. The constant and ongoing interconnections between the different scenarios and agents make this project the first of its kind in Spain.
Classrooms Without Closets: LGBTIQ+ Cinema in University Education
Authors: Bermúdez de Castro Juan José
Published: December 2020

From September 2017 to June 2020 the University of the Balearic Islands organised a monthly film workshop called Aules Sense Armaris: Cinema LGBTIQ+ a la UIB focused on giving visibility to affective and sexual diversity through film analysis in a university context. Each film was introduced with an interview with a queer activist or cultural expert related to the particular topics the film addressed, and after the screening a cinematographic and critical discussion was held in which the students contributed either with their own reflections or asking questions to the guests. This article exposes the necessity of approaching and celebrating sexual diversity from the university classroom as a form of activism. It also describes the as well as describing the criteria that were followed when choosing the films, how the monthly workshops took place and the most interesting conclusions from the post-film debates between activists, university students and spectators.
Andanzas y tribulaciones de un mercader de Cacao. Juan Marcos Jaqueto, mercader veneciano muerto en la provincia de Tabasco (1603)
Authors: Perez Béatrice
Published: December 2020

A través del estudio del itinerario de Marcos Juan Jaqueto, este artículo pretende centrarse en la vida de un comerciante de clase media en los confines de la Nueva España. La compañía mercantil de cacao del veneciano Marcos Juan Jaqueto, fallecido en Tabasco en 1603, nos informa sobre su clientela novohispana, las formas de préstamo y la forma de atesorar la riqueza acumulada. La información sobre el comercio temprano de cacao y plata a finales del siglo XVI es, por lo tanto, valiosa. Más elocuentemente, las cuentas de su empresa en el momento del inventario después de su muerte atestiguan las redes de comercio entre el Viejo Mundo y América, los circuitos económicos entre el Mediterráneo, el Atlántico y la costa del Pacífico. Por último, el testamento que se ha conservado da una idea de este cómputo final de la vida después de la muerte, en el que la salvación se descifra mediante la fundación de una capilla en Tlaxcala para la paz de su alma y la de sus difuntos.

Published: December 2020

In modern sugarcane farms, sugarcane chopper harvesters are becoming widely used. A modern sugarcane chopper harvester is essentially a mechatronic system composed of a tractor and some implements with several electro-hydraulic control systems. Those control systems are controlled by electronic controller units (ECUs). It may fail during harvesting operation due to lack of maintenance, operator's awareness, skill, and field contour. This paper presents a new design of an embedded monitoring system for maintenance and production performance monitoring of a sugarcane chopper harvester in a real-time manner. A prototype of the embedded monitoring system was developed which partially realized the designed system. The experimental result showed that the main computer could communicate with other ECUs using a controller area network (CAN) bus. The dataset from four channels retrieved from the CAN bus represents the real values originating from the temperature sensor simulators. Apart from being sent to the CAN bus, the data are also recorded on a secure digital (SD) Card and sent to the internet of things (IoT) server. In the update time interval testing, the 100 ms interval does not give any error.
Interdisciplinaridade, transversalidade e tecnologia
Authors: Oliveira Faria Joao Paulo , Rodrigues Gomes Geórgia Regina
Published: December 2020

A Educação Física enquanto disciplina curricular obrigatória na educação básica abre espaço para uma proposta pedagógica que ultrapasse a visão meramente tecnicista tão comum até os dias de hoje. O presente ensaio acadêmico trouxe à baila a possibilidade de propor pensamentos sobre práticas pedagógicas que mediada pelas Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TICs) possibilitam um olhar interdisciplinar e transversal sobre os temas da “cultura corporal de movimentos”, coadunando para a promoção e a democratização de diferentes saberes desta área de conhecimento. Para tanto, sugere-se que: 1) os Professores de EFI compreendam que esta área de conhecimento influencia e é influenciada por diferentes campos de conhecimentos, tais como: a biologia, a antropologia, a psicologia, a cinesiologia etc; 2) As práticas corporais são tematizadas, organizadas e determinadas culturalmente e, por isso, precisam ser pensadas por um viés transversal, no qual temas da sociedade são percebidos num atravessamento social de emergência; e por fim 3) As Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação, bem como os espaços interativos de aprendizagens podem ser estratégias interessantes para desenvolver boas práticas pedagógicas interdisciplinares no contexto da EFI na escola.
Carceral Geography: a propósito del giro espacial y las ciencias sociales Autor: Bossio Gaston
Authors: Bossio Gaston
Published: December 2020

El presente texto reflexiona sobre el libro publicado en el 2015 por Dominique Moran, cuyo propósito es sentar las bases para una nueva sub-disciplina al interior de la Geografía Humana. Se trata de Carceral Geography. Spaces and Practices of incarceration, donde se presentan las principales posiciones y puntos de vista de la flamante geografía carcelaria, describiendo los principales autores de los que se ha nutrido y sugiriendo futuros campos y líneas de investigación que potencien esta nueva área de estudios. Esta recensión revisa también aquéllos trabajos de Moran que de alguna forma precedieron y anunciaron la pretensión de fundar la geografía carcelaria, para finalmente adoptar sobre su obra en general una perspectiva crítica. Dada la importancia que tiene la noción de espacio para la geografía carcelaria, se presentan una breve serie de debates en torno a dicha cuestión.
Animacy norms for 224 European Portuguese concrete words
Authors: Félix Sara B. , Pandeirada Josefa N. S. , Nairne James S.
Published: December 2020

Words are frequently used, for example, as stimuli in cognitive and linguistic research. Consideringthat there are various psycholinguistic variables known to influence word processing (e.g., frequency,concreteness), it is important to control for those variables. Recently, it has been reported that animacy(the characteristic of being a living/animate or a non-living/inanimate entity) also affects variouscognitive and linguistic processes. In fact, animacy has been found to be one of the best predictors offree recall. However, animacy is still an uncontrolled variable in most studies and information aboutthis variable is still, for the most part, absent. In this study, we provide animacy norms for a set of224 European Portuguese concrete words. Such data should provide Portuguese researchers a helpfultool to start considering this dimension in a systematic way in their research.
