Damage Mechanism of Mineral Admixture Concrete under Marine Corrosion and Freezing‐Thawing Environment
Authors: Li Yan , Zhang Lianying , Ma Chao , Li Bing , Zhu Jiong
Published: November 2020

Understanding the performance of concrete in the marine environment is significant for preventing the corrosion of chloride ion for marine buildings. In this study, the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), chloride ion concentration (CIC), microstructure, and pore structure of admixture concretes were tested to study the mechanical properties and microscopic characteristics under the single marine corrosion, the single freezing‐thawing, and the coupled marine corrosion and freezing‐thawing conditions. The results indicate that the concrete mixed with both fly ash and mineral powder has better UCS, chloride ion penetration resistance, and freezing‐thawing resistance than the concrete with the single fly ash or mineral powder. Under the marine corrosion environment and coupled corrosion and freezing‐thawing environment, the UCS of the concrete with both fly ash and mineral powder increases firstly and then decreases with the increase of the corrosion time. This is because the pore of the filling body is filled by large crystalline salts generated by the reaction of chloride ions and concrete; then, cementation of the cement is increased in the early corrosion; meanwhile, the increase of crystal salt in the subsequent corrosion process leads to the growth of microcracks and the formation of macrocracks in concrete specimens. In addition, a freezing‐thawing‐corrosion composite strength impact factor is introduced to describe the effect of coupled corrosion and freezing‐thawing on the mechanical property of the concrete. The results show that the corrosion is the dominant factor after 0, 30, and 60 freezing‐thawing cycles, while the freezing‐thawing is the dominant factor after 90 freezing‐thawing cycles.

Authors: Bautista Jesus , Hernández-Mendoza Fanny , García-Gaytán Víctor
Published: November 2020

Cherry tomato “Atomic Grape” belongs to the Solanaceae family, an important species due to its economic value and high nutritional content. The impact on performance, weight, and nutritional profile of root, stem/branches, and leaves using the nutrient solution (NS), alone or combined with an organomineral fertilizer (F), whether granulated or in powder form was evaluated: NS, NS + F-granulated, and NS + F-powder. Best commercial fruits were obtained with NS + F-powder. Higher weights of both fresh and dry roots were obtained with NS + F-granulated and NS + F-powder. Mineral profile showed that the root builds up mostly nitrogen and silicon. Potassium was higher in stem/branches. Carbon, calcium, and sulfur were higher in the photosynthetic organ. NS increased the pH of the tomato juice by 9.81% and 10.90% compared to NS + F-granulated and NS + F-powder treatments. The organomineral fertilizer provides greater benefits due to its long-lasting effect on the soil and cherry tomato plant. In this experiment, we conclude that the combination of NS + F-powder obtained the best marketable fruits. It must be taken into consideration the greatest demand for nutrients in tomato given to developing organs such as leaves, flowers, and fruits. The leaves should be used for nutritional diagnosis, to confirm symptoms of deficiency or optimal nutritional ranges, which is of utmost importance for agronomists, growers, horticulturists, and physiologists.

Analytical Investigation of Transient Wave Propagation in One-Dimensional Unsaturated Poroelastic Materials
Authors: Xiong Hao
Published: November 2020

As a dynamic response, the wave propagation phenomenon usually varies with different media. In this study, the dynamic response of unsaturated poroelastic materials to an impulse load has been analytically investigated. The governing equations, in the Laplace domain, of the unsaturated poroelastic soil in terms of the variables us (solid displacement), pf (pore fluid pressure), and pa (pore air pressure) will be derived. These equations will be simplified in a one-dimensional form. The solutions that include the dynamic response to the vertical displacement of solid particles and to the variations of fluid and air pressures will be provided which are applicable for an arbitrary loading form. The solutions were validated with the results for saturated soil presented in the literature. The effect of material parameters on dynamic response was analysed through a series of parameter studies. It was found that increasing the porosity or fluid saturation effectively increases the amplitude of fluid and air pressures as well as the wave velocity. Although increasing the fluid saturation leads to solid displacement gradually decreases gradually, it results in increasing the amplitude of fluid and air pressure. The fluid saturation increasing above 0.9 results in wave travels faster significantly. The variation of fluid intrinsic permeability has little influence on the soil dynamic response until it reaches a high level. The findings of this study can help for better understanding of one-dimensional wave propagation in unsaturated soil.

Authors: Wang Hanjay , Bajaj Simar S , Krishnan Aravind , Heiler Joseph C , Williams Kiah M , Pickering Joshua M , Manjunatha Keerthi , O'Donnell Christian T , Sanchez Mark , Woo Y. Joseph , Boyd Jack H
Published: November 2020

Introduction:
There is growing concern regarding the attrition of surgeon-scientists in cardiothoracic (CT) surgery. The academic impact of conducting basic science research (BSR) during training, however, remains unknown. We hypothesized that CT surgeons who publish a first-author BSR paper during training exhibit enhanced future academic productivity.

Methods:
CT surgeons on faculty at accredited United States CT surgery training hospitals in 2018 who published a first-author BSR paper or a first-author clinical research (CR) paper during training were identified (n=762). To normalize for environmental differences in research exposure, we specifically studied the surgeons who pursued a research fellowship and who attended a top-50 NIH-funded institution at every stage of training (n=252). Data regarding each surgeon’s professional history and publication record were obtained from publicly-available online sources.

Results:
As shown in Table 1, surgeons who published a first-author paper in BSR during training and those who published a first-author paper only in CR share similar characteristics and have practiced as an attending surgeon for a similar duration (11.0 years each, p=0.486). However, surgeons who published a first-author BSR paper during training ultimately published more papers per year as an attending (4.3 vs 2.8, p=0.017), resulting in more total publications (73.5 vs 47.5, p=0.003) and a greater H-index (22.0 vs 18.0, p=0.004). The surgeons who published a first-author BSR paper during training were also more likely to have published a BSR paper in the past 2 years as an attending, both as a first or last author (12.0% vs 2.0%, p=0.004), or as a co-author (34.0% vs 15.7%, p=0.001).

Conclusions:
Academic CT surgeons who published a first-author BSR paper during training exhibit enhanced research productivity and scholarly impact. Funding and institutional support for aspiring CT surgeon-scientists may yield career-long academic benefits.

Published: November 2020

Introduction:
Oxidative Stress (OS) is thought to be a mediator of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the precise role of OS in electrical remodeling in AF is unknown. We assessed the effect of a novel gene-based strategy by performing knockdown of NOX2 in a clinically relevant large animal on the maintenance of rotational drivers in AF.

Hypothesis:
We hypothesized that the gene-based strategy by performing knockdown of NOX2 reduces rotational activities in AF.

Methods:
1 week after pacemaker implantation, open-chest sub-epicardial gene injection of NOX2 shRNA was performed in the LA (PLA, LAFW, LAA), to significantly knockdown NOX2 in 6 dogs and 10 controls were also used. Epicardial high-density mapping was performed (117 electrodes, inter-elec.-distance 2.5mm) at day1 (gene injection) and at terminal day (up to 12weeks RAP) in 6 atrial regions. Number and stability of rotational activities were detected based on activation maps and CL was analyzed.

Results:
AF developed in controls (>30 min) in 4-9 days, compared to >21 days in NOX2 shRNA animals (p<0.01). The stability of observed rotational drivers decreased (baseline gene delivery vs terminal day) in all left atrial regions: in the LAA (315.88±123.53ms, median 300.00ms vs 282.55±175.04ms, median 270ms), PLA (462.46±477.04ms, median 360ms vs 280.39±101.55ms, median 240ms), LAFW (416.67±162.50ms, median 405ms vs 241.67±92.63ms, median 195ms) (Figure A). Number of rotational activities reduced by 36.58% (P=0.14) after gene delivery. CL increased in the PLA from (93.74±30.11ms, median 85.00ms to 102.15±33.07ms, median 92.00ms after gene delivery (Figure C).

Conclusions:
Gene injection by NOX2 shRNA reduced the stability of rotational activities in AF. OS may be an important, dynamic mechanism underlying the formation and maintenance of the AF disease state. Targeted disruption of NOX2-dependent oxidative injury with a new gene therapy approach prevents onset as well as the perpetuation of AF.
Reconstructing the PIE causative in a cross-linguistic perspective
Authors: Bozzone Chiara
Published: November 2020

This paper examines the function and distribution of *CoC-éye/o- presents (traditionally labelled as causatives/iteratives) in PIE in the light of recent theoretical and typological contributions on causative formations crosslinguistically. In particular, this paper argues that: 1. The oldest function of CoC-éye/o- presents in PIE is to derive causative presents to unaccusative base verbs, as well as to some transitive verbs with an affected subject. The development of the iterative meaning is secondary and einzelsprachlich. 2. In the daughter languages, the category developed in two different directions (following Shibatani & Pardeshi’s causative continuum), depending on its degree of productivity. In Greek and Latin, the category became unproductive and underwent a “causative/non-causative” split, whereby the iterative meaning developed under certain conditions. A parallel development of the causative morpheme in the Mayan language K’iche’ is discussed into detail. 3. In Vedic and Proto-Germanic, the category became more productive and did not develop iterative semantics.
A Methodology for Estimating the Response of the Coastal Ocean to Meteorological Forcing: A Case Study in Bohai Bay
Authors: Wang Daosheng , Pan Haidong , Mu Lin , Lv Xianqing , Yan Bing , Yang Hua
Published: November 2020

The coastal ocean sea level (SL) variations result from multiscale processes and are dominated by SL changes due to meteorological forcing. In this study, a new methodology, which combines inverted barometer correction and regression analysis (IBR), is developed to estimate the coastal ocean response to meteorological forcing in shallow water. The response is taken as the combination of the static ocean response calculated using the inverted barometer formula and the dynamic ocean response estimated using the multivariable linear regression involving atmospheric pressure and the wind component in the dominant wind orientation. IBR was implemented to estimate the coastal ocean response at two stations, E1 and E2, in Bohai Bay, China. The analyzed results indicate that at both stations, the adjusted SLs are related more to the regional wind, which is the averaged value of ERA-Interim data in Bohai Bay, than to the local wind. The estimated response using IBR with the regional meteorological forcing is much closer to the observed values than other methods, including the classical inverted barometer correction, the dynamic atmospheric correction, the multivariable linear regression, and the IBR with local forcing. The deviations between the observed values and the estimated values using IBR with regional meteorological forcing can be primarily attributed to remote wind. This case study indicates that IBR is a feasible and relatively effective method to estimate the coastal ocean response to meteorological forcing in shallow water.
Health Insurance in an Era of Declining Social Capital
Authors: Williams Jackson
Published: November 2020

Putnam’s seminal work on social capital focused on early forms of health insurance as both a result, and accelerator, of the norms of reciprocity and social trust that foster cooperation. Yet, while social capital has been studied as a factor supporting community-based health insurance in developing countries, there has been no analysis of its role in U.S. health insurance. With repeal of the mandate to carry health insurance, this product is once again a purely voluntary purchase, and bears analysis as a cooperation problem. Putnam later documented a sharp decline in social capital in the United States. If social capital undergirds participation in health insurance, we can expect reduced reciprocity to lower willingness to cross-subsidize the sick. Waning social capital could also manifest itself in reduced trust that other healthy people will purchase insurance and lack of trust in the providers and manufacturers who make claims on the insurance pool.
Fully automated web-based tool for identifying regulatory hotspots
Authors: Choi Ju Hun , Kim Taegun , Jung Junghyun , Joo Jong Wha J.
Published: November 2020

Background

Regulatory hotspots are genetic variations that may regulate the expression levels of many genes. It has been of great interest to find those hotspots utilizing expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) analysis. However, it has been reported that many of the findings are spurious hotspots induced by various unknown confounding factors. Recently, methods utilizing complicated statistical models have been developed that successfully identify genuine hotspots. Next-generation Intersample Correlation Emended (NICE) is one of the methods that show high sensitivity and low false-discovery rate in finding regulatory hotspots. Even though the methods successfully find genuine hotspots, they have not been widely used due to their non-user-friendly interfaces and complex running processes. Furthermore, most of the methods are impractical due to their prohibitively high computational complexity.

Results

To overcome the limitations of existing methods, we developed a fully automated web-based tool, referred to as NICER (NICE Renew), which is based on NICE program. First, we dramatically reduced running and installing burden of NICE. Second, we significantly reduced running time by incorporating multi-processing. Third, besides our web-based NICER, users can use NICER on Google Compute Engine and can readily install and run the NICER web service on their local computers. Finally, we provide different input formats and visualizations tools to show results. Utilizing a yeast dataset, we show that NICER can be successfully used in an eQTL analysis to identify many genuine regulatory hotspots, for which more than half of the hotspots were previously reported elsewhere.

Conclusions

Even though many hotspot analysis tools have been proposed, they have not been widely used for many practical reasons. NICER is a fully-automated web-based solution for eQTL mapping and regulatory hotspots analysis. NICER provides a user-friendly interface and has made hotspot analysis more viable by reducing the running time significantly. We believe that NICER will become the method of choice for increasing power of eQTL hotspot analysis.
Transcriptome analysis identifies genes involved in the somatic embryogenesis of Eucalyptus
Authors: Xiao Yufei , Li Junji , Zhang Ye , Zhang Xiaoning , Liu Hailong , Qin Zihai , Chen Bowen
Published: November 2020

Background

Eucalyptus, a highly diverse genus of the Myrtaceae family, is the most widely planted hardwood in the world due to its increasing importance for fiber and energy. Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is one large-scale method to provide commercial use of the vegetative propagation of Eucalyptus and dedifferentiation is a key step for plant cells to become meristematic. However, little is known about the molecular changes during the Eucalyptus SE.

Results

We compared the transcriptome profiles of the differentiated and dedifferentiated tissues of two Eucalyptus species – E. camaldulensis (high embryogenetic potential) and E. grandis x urophylla (low embryogenetic potential). Initially, we identified 18,777 to 20,240 genes in all samples. Compared to the differentiated tissues, we identified 9229 and 8989 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the dedifferentiated tissues of E. camaldulensis and E. grandis x urophylla, respectively, and 2687 up-regulated and 2581 down-regulated genes shared. Next, we identified 2003 up-regulated and 1958 down-regulated genes only in E. camaldulensis, including 6 somatic embryogenesis receptor kinase, 17 ethylene, 12 auxin, 83 ribosomal protein, 28 zinc finger protein, 10 heat shock protein, 9 histone, 122 cell wall related and 98 transcription factor genes. Genes from other families like ABA, arabinogalactan protein and late embryogenesis abundant protein were also found to be specifically dysregulated in the dedifferentiation process of E. camaldulensis. Further, we identified 48,447 variants (SNPs and small indels) specific to E. camaldulensis, including 13,434 exonic variants from 4723 genes (e.g., annexin, GN, ARF and AP2-like ethylene-responsive transcription factor). qRT-PCR was used to confirm the gene expression patterns in both E. camaldulensis and E. grandis x urophylla.

Conclusions

This is the first time to study the somatic embryogenesis of Eucalyptus using transcriptome sequencing. It will improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of somatic embryogenesis and dedifferentiation in Eucalyptus. Our results provide a valuable resource for future studies in the field of Eucalyptus and will benefit the Eucalyptus breeding program.
Development of a superstructure optimization framework for the design of municipal solid waste facilities
Authors: Puchongkawarin Channarong , Mattaraj Supatpong
Published: November 2020

The main objective of this study is to develop a decision-making tool for the design of the optimal municipal solid waste (MSW) facilities based on superstructure optimization. Currently, the disposal of MSW is a major problem due to the lack of awareness of the negative impacts resulting from dumping MSW into the environment. This poses a challenge for the authorities. MSW valorization such as anaerobic digestion, pyrolysis, and gasification has been increasingly focused on as an approach when handling MSW to enhance both economic and environmental sustainability. However, with an increasing array of processing technologies, the design of MSW facilities involving the integration of these technologies is becoming tedious and unmanageable. To deal with this problem, superstructure optimization is proposed. It is an effective tool for the design of several chemical processes because it is able to consider all potential process alternatives including the optimal solution using mathematical models based on mass and energy balances. Uncertainty is incorporated into the optimization framework to enhance the robustness of the solution. The proposed methodology was applied in the design process of the MSW facility in Ubon Rathathani Province, Thailand, with the objective function of maximizing the profit. The optimization problem was developed as Mixed Integer Linear Programming and it was solved using an optimization platform, General Algebraic Modeling System, with CPLEX as the solver related to obtaining the optimal solution. The results show there to be as positive profit that is economically viable compared to the use of landfill technology.

Authors: Eesam Shivarani , Bhandaru Jaswanth S. , Naliganti Chandana , Bobbala Ravi Kumar , Akkinepally Raghuram Rao
Published: November 2020

Background

Increasing hydrophilicity of poorly water-soluble drugs is a major challenge in drug discovery and development. Cocrystallization is one of the techniques to enhance the hydrophilicity of such drugs. Carvedilol (CAR), a nonselective beta/alpha1 blocker, used in the treatment of mild to moderate congestive heart failure and hypertension, is classified under BCS class II with poor aqueous solubility and high permeability. Present work is an attempt to improve the solubility of CAR by preparing cocrystals using hydrochlorothiazide (HCT), a diuretic drug, as coformer. CAR-HCT (2:0.5) cocrystals were prepared by slurry conversion method and were characterized by DSC, PXRD, FTIR, Raman, and SEM analysis. The solubility, stability, and dissolution (in vitro) studies were conducted for the cocrystals.

Results

The formation of CAR-HCT cocrystals was confirmed based on melting point, DSC thermograms, PXRD data, FTIR and Raman spectra, and finally by SEM micrographs. The solubility of the prepared cocrystals was significantly enhanced (7.3 times), and the dissolution (in vitro) was improved by 2.7 times as compared to pure drug CAR. Further, these cocrystals were also found to be stable for 3 months (90 days).

Conclusion

It may be inferred that the drug–drug (CAR-HCT) cocrystallization enhances the solubility and dissolution rate of carvedilol significantly. Further, by combining HCT as coformer could well be beneficial pharmacologically too.

Second-order interference of true thermal light from a warm atomic ensemble in two independent unbalanced interferometers
Authors: Park Jiho , Kim Heonoh , Moon Han Seb
Published: November 2020

We report the demonstration of a second-order interference experiment by use of thermal light emitted from a warm atomic ensemble in two spatially separated unbalanced Michelson interferometers (UMIs). This novel multipath correlation interference with thermal light has been theoretically proposed by Tamma [New J. Phys. 18, 032002 (2016)NJOPFM1367-263010.1088/1367-2630/18/3/032002]. In our experiment, the bright thermal light used for second-order interference is superradiantly emitted via collective two-photon coherence in Doppler-broadened cascade-type

atoms. Owing to the long coherence time of the thermal light from the atomic ensemble, we observe its second-order interference in the two independent UMIs by means of time-resolved coincidence detection. The temporal waveforms of the interfering thermal light in the two spatially separated UMIs exhibit similarities with the temporal two-photon waveform of time–energy entangled photon pairs in Franson interferometry. Our results can contribute toward a better understanding of the relation between first- and second-order interferences that are at the heart of photonics-based quantum information science.

Para isto, essa pesquisa qualitativa tem como objetivo principal analisar materiais didáticos de inglês para informática disponíveis no mercado brasileiro e apontar um deles como forma de suprir a lacuna no ensino dos termos. O referencial teórico apoiou-se, entre outros, em Genouvrier; Peytard (1974), Barros (2004), Krieger; Finatto (2004) e Enterría Sánchez (2009).
Using Wormholes to Solve the Problem of Evil
Authors: Effingham Nikk
Published: November 2020

The Multiverse Response to the problem of evil has it that God made our universe because God makes every universe meeting a certain standard. The main problem for that response is that there’s no explanation for why God didn’t just keeping making duplicates of perfect universes. This paper introduces the ‘Multiactualities Response’, which says that God actualises every possible world that meets a certain standard of value. It avoids the corresponding problem about duplication because different propositions must always be true at distinct worlds. The Multiactualities Response nevertheless has its own problem, namely that it requires the possibility of multiple actual worlds. This paper argues that if we consider spacetimes with wormholes, we have good cause to think there can be multiple metaphysically privileged present moments; given a suitable analogy between time and modality, it follows that there can be multiple metaphysically privileged (i.e. actual) worlds. This paper includes an in–depth examination of the metaphysics of both the temporal and modal cases.

The in-depth SWOT analyses elaborate on students’ disciplinary learning, 21st century skills development, engagement and motivation, use of digital tools, international online teamwork and collaboration, online communication, and intercultural competence.
How a multilingual project can foster and enhance international mobility
Authors: Griggio Lisa , Pittarello Sara
Published: November 2020

This case study refers to the eTandem pre-mobility project coordinated by the Padova University Language Centre running twice a year since 2015 for approximately eight weeks. The project matches up local university students with incoming international students, thus boosting integration between the two groups and increasing internationalisation at home. One-to-one and many-to-many interactions are organised, the latter with the support of trained facilitators, who launch asynchronous (in an online multilingual community) and synchronous, intercultural, theme-based learning activities to be discussed every week. Students’ linguistic, intercultural, and digital competences, as well as autonomy, are enhanced throughout the project, making them better prepared for their mobility.

Authors: Al Mqadma Amani , Al Karriri Ahmed
Published: November 2020

The Islamic University of Gaza (IUG) has participated in the Erasmus+ Virtual Exchange (E+VE) programme since the beginning of 2019. The international relations office, the body responsible for managing the programme at IUG, noticed that there was a positive change in participants’ knowledge and perceptions about VE and its role in enhancing their academic competencies and soft skills during the spring and autumn 2019 terms. As a result, IUG conducted an in-depth study to explore the role of a VE programme at the university in enhancing the students’ cultural understanding, cross-cultural communication, and collaboration while engaging in project based learning.
Integrating Soliya’s Connect programmes into a language course and into a liberal arts and sciences degree
Authors: Bruni Tatiana
Published: November 2020

This chapter presents how I integrated Virtual Exchange (VE) programmes delivered by Soliya in two courses at an international undergraduate liberal arts and sciences college. In both cases the VE programme was fully integrated in the courses as a graded element. The students of beginner Italian participated in the four-week long Connect Express. While liking the experience, they found that the VE was still too disconnected from their aim of learning a language. The students of Intercultural Communication (IC) participated in the eight-week long Connect Global. For them, the success of the experience was linked to the group composition and the English proficiency level of participants.

Published: November 2020

Intercultural Competence for Youth workers (ICY) was a project co-funded by the European Union Erasmus+ programme that ran for 14 months, from spring 2019 to spring 2020, and involved four organisations from Finland, Spain, Belgium, and the Netherlands.Engaging youth workers and young people with fewer opportunities, the project helped youth workers improve their intercultural ability to create places – particularly in the context of sports activities – where young people feel safe, accepted, and not discriminated against. In the context of the Erasmus+ Virtual Exchange (E+VE) initiative, the partners developed a ‘trial run’ which included an online facilitated dialogue session to test the pedagogy and process of VE, as well as get feedback from the youth involved.
Mentalne wzorce relacyjne jako predyktory statusu związku studiujących kobiet

The article analyses relationship patterns as predictors of relationship status (having vs not having a partner) among female university students. Inner relationship patterns were identified on the basis of written statements on significant relations. The statements were obtained through the Relationship Anecdotes Paradigm (RAP), which allows the acquisition of autobiographic records of narrative nature on personally significant interpersonal relations. The results of the analysis based on the concept of Core Conflictual Relationship Theme (CCRT) helped predict whether a respondent has a partner thanks to only one category of relationship patterns – the desire of the self to feel well and comfortably, to have a sense of stability, to feel happy and self-satisfied, triggered in the context of referring to a significant interpersonal relation in the narratives. The other aspects of the patterns – responses of the other to the self’s desire and the response of the self to the reactions of the other – do not markedly affect the prediction of the relationship status.
Wiedza na temat smutku u dzieci z różnym poziomem rozwoju intelektualnego
Authors: Buchnat Marzena , Jasielska Aleksandra
Published: November 2020

The aim of this study was to characterize the knowledge about the joy in children with mild intellectual disability. The premises relating to the mental functioning of these children suggest that this knowledge is poorer and less complex than the knowledge of their peers in the intellectual norm. The study used the authoring tool to measure children’s knowledge of emotions, including joy. The tool takes into account the cognitive representation of the basic emotions available in three codes: image, verbal, semantic and interconnection between the codes – perception, symbolization and conceptualization, which perform the functions of perception, expression and understanding. The study included children with the intellectual norm (N = 30) and children with mild intellectual disability (N = 30). The results mainly indicate the differences in how happiness is understood by particular groups, to the detriment of children with disability. The character of the results is largely determined by the level of organization of knowledge about joy and accompanying mental operations.

The different versions of Snow White fable are confronted with the various kinds of relations between women and men in contemporary society.
The Sorting Hat: Cool Fiction Element but Not Necessarily a Good Career Advisor
Authors: Garcia-Garzon Eduardo , Jarke Hannes , Jakob Lea
Published: November 2020

This commentary argues that while using popular franchises like Harry Potter can be a helpful tool to make research on personality and career choices salient and engaging to various audiences, results should not be overgeneralised. In particular, we argue that (1) conclusions should not be drawn uncritically from statistically significant relations, (2) capturing personality requires validated assessments and should not be reduced to a single item, and (3) in the specific case of the Harry Potter franchise, the mere preference for a House of the fictional Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry rarely predicts meaningful aspects of personality traits. As such, caution is advised when such fictional elements are used, as they can quickly go viral and may provide potentially harmful advise if shared uncritically.

Políticas de la encarnación: Corporatividad y hegemonía. Castro-Gómez, lector de Laclau-Mouffe
Authors: Soto Morera Diego A.
Published: November 2020

ResumenEn este artículo analizo la recepción de la teoría hegemónica de Laclau-Mouffe en la filosofía política del filósofo colombiano Santiago Castro-Gómez. El propósito de este ejercicio académico consiste en ponderar la distinción entre los conceptos de cuerpo y carne, al interior de las teorías políticas que piensan a partir de un fundamento agonístico de las relaciones sociales. Para cumplir con este objetivo, se reconstruye no solo la lectura que Castro-Gómez propone del proyecto de Laclau-Mouffe, sino que propongo un análisis de aquello que el colombiano estima como su principal limitación: el reduccionismo lingüístico de la política. Al interior de esta discusión considero fundamental introducir una consideración sobre el lugar que ocupa la encarnación en la teoría del último Laclau. El texto propone que una consideración de las luchas políticas y sus conquistas requiere tener en cuenta, no solo el carácter corporativo de los movimientos sociales, sino también aquellas aspiraciones en torno a lo ausente o no acaecido que nutren aspiraciones y demandas sociales.

Palabras clave: Hegemonía, Laclau-Mouffe, Castro-Gómez, antagonismo, encarnación.
