A Process Based Model of Business Incubator in Systems Engineering Terms
Authors: Luigi Fuschi David , Galiyeva Nadezhda
Published: June 2022

Business incubators (BI), accelerators (BA) and science parks (SP) are widely recognized as ways of fostering innovation and help economy growth. This paper presents a functional model describing their operation (although with a focus on BI), identifying the points of need/provision of information as necessary to support decision-making for the management and monitoring of the system efficiency and effectiveness. The proposed model may also help planning the functioning and structure of BI / BA specific Information Management System (IMS) focused on data provision for strategy and decision support. The proposed approach is aligned with the intent to maximise process efficiency and effectiveness in supporting residents as well as granting them all the functionalities of a large corporate IMS while attending the program, additionally, it offers the possibility to generate extra income by providing alumni with IMS services at cost (thus creating a new model of BI / BA which operates also as a service provider).
A polgári jogi igény érvényesítése és elbírálása : Büntetőjogi és polgári jogi megfontolások

A bűncselekményt is megvalósító magatartással okozott kár, illetve nem vagyoni sérelem esetén a károsult, illetve a sérelmet szenvedett fél igényét érvényesítheti polgári jogi úton, de bizonyos kárigények, illetve sérelemdíj iránti igények a büntetőeljárásban, polgári jogi igényként is előterjeszthetőek, a polgári perjog szabályai szerint a büntetőeljárásról szóló 2017. évi XC. törvényben foglalt korlátok között. Az adhéziós eljárás során a büntetőbírónak a terhelt és a magánfél között fennálló, a bűncselekmény elkövetése folytán létrejött polgári anyagi jogi jogviszonyt alapul véve kell döntést hoznia. Az ilyen igényérvényesítés sajátossága ugyanis, hogy a magatartás egyaránt megvalósítja valamely magánjogi felelősségi szabály és valamely bűncselekmény törvényi tényállását. A tanulmányban azt járjuk körbe, hogy milyen igények érvényesíthetők polgári jogi igényként. Ehhez a kiindulópontot annak vizsgálata jelenti, hogy értékeli-e az adott bűncselekmény törvényi tényállása a bűncselekményt is megvalósító magatartással okozott vagyoni, illetve nem vagyoni sérelme(ke)t, s hogy az(ok) miként minősül(nek) a polgári jogban.
Algoritmikus menedzsment a platformmunka világában
Authors: Ződi Zsolt
Published: June 2022

Az internetes platformok által szervezett vagy az ezeken történő munkavégzés (gig-work, „haknimunka”) egyre több embert érint, és a 2010-es évek közepe óta a szabályozók is felfigyeltek rá. Az egyre nagyobb számú platformmunkás munkavégzése több problémát is felvet, de már abban sincsen konszenzus, hogy ezek a problémák csak bizonyos régóta ismert munkajogi kérdések új köntösben történő megjelenései, vagy teljesen új természetűek. Megoldási javaslatként a nemrég megjelent platformmunka irányelvtervezetig csak egyetlen ötlet merült fel, ennek a fajta munkának így vagy úgy, de a hagyományos munkajog keretei közé történő beszorítása. A tanulmány egyrészt azt állítja, hogy a platformmunkának van olyan jellegzetessége, amely eddig ismeretlen jelenség volt a munkaviszonyok világában (az algoritmus- és adatalapú munkaszervezés), másrészt azt, hogy ez két másik jellegzetességgel (a háromoldalú szerkezettel és a hálózatos hatással) kombinálódva teljesen új minőséget hoznak létre, amely újszerű jogi megoldásokat kíván, ahol a hagyományos munkajog csak egy eleme ennek a szabályozásnak. Az EU nemrég nyilvánosságra hozott platformmunka irányelvtevezete az első jó lépés ebben az irányban.

A incontinência urinária é definida como qualquer perda involuntária de urina. É um sintoma comum que aparece em várias doenças, afetando todas as faixas etárias e ambos os sexos. O sexo mais afetado é o feminino, por diversos fatores como anatomia do assoalho pélvico, menor cumprimento da uretra e fatores ginecológicos. A prevalência da incontinência urinária aumenta com a idade e devido ao envelhecimento da população esta doença está cada vez mais frequente. O objetivo do presente estudo foi fazer uma análise epidemiológica comparativa entre o tratamento cirúrgico da incontinência urinária por via abdominal e via vaginal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro no período compreendido entre 2015 e 2020. Este estudo é do tipo transversal, observacional e retrospectivo com base em dados secundários e epidemiológicos da plataforma digital do DATASUS- Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do SUS (SIH/SUS) do Ministério da Saúde. Foi encontrado um total de 210 internações para o tratamento cirúrgico da incontinência urinária por via abdominal durante este período e 1043 por via vaginal. A duração média da internação é menor quando realizado a técnica via vaginal em comparação com abdominal sendo respectivamente 3,2 e 3,4 dias. O valor médio encontrado também foi menor na técnica por via vaginal sendo R$452,96 e R$474,31 por via abdominal. Com os resultados obtidos no estudo é possível perceber que a técnica cirúrgica por via vaginal além de ser a mais presente no Rio de Janeiro apresenta vantagens como menor duração da internação e menor valor da mesma.

Abstract. Strict air pollution control strategies have been implemented in recent decades in the North China Plain (NCP), previously one of the most polluted
regions in the world, and have resulted in considerable changes in emissions of air pollutants. However, little is so far known about the long-term
trends of the regional background level of NOx and SO2, along with the increase and decrease processes of regional
emissions. In this study, the seasonal and diurnal variations of NOx and SO2 as well as their long-term trends at a
regional background station in the NCP were characterized from 2004 to 2016. On average, SO2 and NOx mixing ratios were
5.7 ± 8.4 and 14.2 ± 12.4 ppb, respectively. The seasonal variations in SO2 and NOx mixing ratios
showed a similar pattern, with a peak in winter and a valley in summer. However, the diurnal variations in SO2 and NOx
mixing ratios greatly differed for all seasons, indicating different sources for SO2 and NOx and meteorological effects
on their concentrations. Overall, the annual mean SO2 exhibited a significant decreasing trend of −6.1 % yr−1
(R = −0.84, P < 0.01) from 2004 to 2016, which is very close to −6.3 % yr−1 of the annual SO2 emission in
Beijing, and a greater decreasing trend of −7.4 % yr−1 (R = −0.95, P < 0.01) from 2008 to 2016. The annual mean of
NOx showed a fluctuating rise of +3.4 % yr−1 (R = 0.38, P = 0.40) from 2005 to 2010, reaching the
peak value (16.9 ppb) in 2010, and then exhibited an extremely significant fluctuating downward trend of −4.5 % yr−1
(R = 0.95, P < 0.01) from 2010 to 2016. After 2010, the annual mean NOx mixing ratios correlated significantly
(R = 0.94, P < 0.01) with the annual NOx emission in North China. The decreasing rate (−4.8 % yr−1,
R = −0.92, P < 0.01) of the annual mean NOx mixing ratios from 2011 to 2016 at the Shangdianzi (SDZ) regional
atmospheric background station is lower than the one (−8.8 % yr−1, R = −0.94, P < 0.01) for the annual
NOx emission in the NCP and in Beijing (−9.0 % yr−1, R = −0.96, P < 0.01). This indicated that
surface NOx mixing ratios at SDZ had a weaker influence than SO2 on the emission reduction in Beijing and its surrounding
areas in the NCP. The increase in the number of motor vehicles led to an increase in traffic emissions for NOx. This study
supported conclusions from previous studies that the measures taken for controlling NOx and SO2 in the NCP in the past
decades were generally successful. However, NOx emission control should be strengthened in the future.

Abstract. Fires are predicted to increase in Arctic regions due to ongoing climate change. Tundra fires can alter carbon and nutrient cycling and release a substantial quantity of greenhouse gases with global consequences. Yet, the long-term effects of tundra fires on carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stocks and cycling are still unclear. Here we used a space-for-time approach to investigate the long-term fire effects on C and N stocks and cycling in soil and aboveground living biomass. We collected data from three large fire scars (>44, 28, and 12 years old) and corresponding control areas and used linear mixed-effect models in a Bayesian framework to analyse long-term development of C and N stocks and cycling after fire. We found that tundra fires had no long-term effect on total C and N stocks because a major part of the stocks was located belowground in soils which were largely unaltered by fire. However, fire had a strong long-term effect on stocks in the aboveground vegetation, mainly due to the reduction in the lichen layer. Fire reduced N concentrations in graminoids and herbs on the younger fire scars, which affected respective C/N ratios and may indicate an increased post-fire competition between vascular plants. Aboveground plant biomass was depleted in 13C in all three fire scars. In soil, the relative abundance of 13C changed with time after fire. Our results indicate that in lichen-rich subarctic tundra ecosystems, the contribution of fires to the release of additional carbon to the atmosphere might be relatively small as soil stocks appear to be resilient within the observed time frame.
Modeling interactions between tides, storm surges, and river discharges in the Kapuas River delta
Authors: Sampurno Joko , Vallaeys Valentin , Ardianto Randy , Hanert Emmanuel
Published: June 2022

Abstract. The Kapuas River delta is a unique estuary system on the western coast of the island of Borneo, Indonesia. Its hydrodynamics are driven by an interplay
between storm surges, tides, and river discharges. These interactions are likely to be exacerbated by global warming, leading to more frequent
compound flooding in the area. The mechanisms driving compound flooding events in the Kapuas River delta remain, however, poorly known. Here we
attempt to fill this gap by assessing the interactions between river discharges, tides, and storm surges and how they can drive a compound
inundation over the riverbanks, particularly within Pontianak, the main city along the Kapuas River. We simulated these interactions using the
multi-scale hydrodynamic model SLIM (Second-generation Louvain-la-Neuve Ice-ocean Model). Our model correctly reproduces the Kapuas River's hydrodynamics and its interactions with tides and storm surge
from the Karimata Strait. We considered several extreme-scenario test cases to evaluate the impact of tide–storm–discharge interactions on the
maximum water level profile from the river mouth to the upstream part of the river. Based on the maximum water level profiles, we divide the Kapuas
River's stream into three zones, i.e., the tidally dominated region (from the river mouth to about 30 km upstream), the transition region
(from about 30 km to about 150 km upstream), and the river-dominated region (beyond 150 km upstream). Thus, the local water
management can define proper mitigation for handling compound flooding hazards along the riverbanks by using this zoning category. The model also
successfully reproduced a compound flooding event in Pontianak, which occurred on 29 December 2018. For this event, the wind-generated surge
appeared to be the dominant trigger.
Glacial runoff buffers droughts through the 21st century
Authors: Ultee Lizz , Coats Sloan , Mackay Jonathan
Published: June 2022

Abstract. Global climate model projections suggest that 21st century climate change will bring significant drying in the terrestrial midlatitudes. Recent glacier modeling suggests that runoff from glaciers will continue to provide substantial freshwater in many drainage basins, though the supply will generally diminish throughout the century. In the absence of dynamic glacier ice within global climate models (GCMs), a comprehensive picture of future hydrological drought conditions in glaciated regions has been elusive. Here, we leverage the results of existing GCM simulations and a global glacier model to evaluate glacial buffering of droughts in the Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI). We compute one baseline version of the SPEI and one version modified to account for glacial runoff changing over time, and we compare the two for each of 56 large-scale glaciated basins worldwide. We find that accounting for glacial runoff tends to increase the multi-model ensemble mean SPEI and reduce drought frequency and severity, even in basins with relatively little (<2 %) glacier cover. When glacial runoff is included in the SPEI, the number of droughts is reduced in 40 of 56 basins and the average drought severity is reduced in 53 of 56 basins, with similar counts in each time period we study.
Glacial drought buffering persists even as glacial runoff is projected to decline through the 21st century. Results are similar under representative concentration pathway (RCP) 4.5 and 8.5 emissions scenarios, though results for the higher-emissions RCP 8.5 scenario show wider multi-model spread (uncertainty) and greater incidence of decreasing buffering later in the century. A k-means clustering analysis shows that glacial drought buffering is strongest in moderately glaciated, arid basins.
Family and space – an interpretive perspective on two central concepts in population geography
Authors: Montanari Giulia , Schlinzig Tino
Published: June 2022

Abstract. Introductory texts in population geography are often organized using a sociological approach to demography (Barcus and Halfacree 2018:2; Newbold 2014:6). This is particularly evident in discussions on the concept of family. Both sociology and geography center concepts like marriage, divorces, births, the number of children in a household, and the composition of households. However, many of these concepts are outdated,
with limited value for understanding contemporary social change. As the
editorial to this special issue suggests, population geography must look to
other fields for concepts that describe subjects' meaning-making.
Interpretive family studies' conceptual and methodological approaches can
help reconfigure established assumptions about the term “population”
(Gubrium and Holstein 1993; LaRossa and Reitzes 1993; Bösel, 1980; Burgess, 1926). While classic population geography research does engage with new mobility and flexibility regimes and pluralization tendencies, it often fails to identify their consequences for lived experiences and intergenerational relationships. This limits scholars' understandings of new living conditions and practices, as well as their consequences for central concepts of mobility, for example, co-presence, absence, relocation, and residential location. This also occurs with the concept of “family”, which is generally applied to mono-local nuclear families in a household unit. In this contribution, we draw on classic and contemporary interpretive research to (re-)evaluate the multi-locality of families and theories of co-presence to extend the concepts of family and space within population geography (see also Halatcheva-Trapp et al., 2019a). By transcending standard quantitative categories (e.g., the household, fertility, simplified models of mobility), we offer interpretive insights to better conceptualize an important topic in population geography – the family.
The Regional Coupled Suite (RCS-IND1): application of a flexible regional coupled modelling framework to the Indian region at kilometre scale

Abstract. A new regional coupled modelling framework is introduced – the Regional
Coupled Suite (RCS). This provides a flexible research capability with which
to study the interactions between atmosphere, land, ocean, and wave processes
resolved at kilometre scale, and the effect of environmental feedbacks on the
evolution and impacts of multi-hazard weather events. A configuration of the
RCS focussed on the Indian region, termed RCS-IND1, is introduced. RCS-IND1
includes a regional configuration of the Unified Model (UM) atmosphere,
directly coupled to the JULES land surface model, on a grid with horizontal
spacing of 4.4 km, enabling convection to be explicitly simulated. These are
coupled through OASIS3-MCT libraries to 2.2 km grid NEMO ocean and WAVEWATCH
III wave model configurations. To examine a potential approach to reduce
computation cost and simplify ocean initialization, the RCS includes an
alternative approach to couple the atmosphere to a lower resolution
Multi-Column K-Profile Parameterization (KPP) for the ocean. Through
development of a flexible modelling framework, a variety of fully and
partially coupled experiments can be defined, along with traceable uncoupled
simulations and options to use external input forcing in place of missing
coupled components. This offers a wide scope to researchers designing
sensitivity and case study assessments. Case study results are presented and
assessed to demonstrate the application of RCS-IND1 to simulate two tropical
cyclone cases which developed in the Bay of Bengal, namely Titli in October
2018 and Fani in April 2019. Results show realistic cyclone simulations, and
that coupling can improve the cyclone track and produces more realistic
intensification than uncoupled simulations for Titli but prevents sufficient
intensification for Fani. Atmosphere-only UM regional simulations omit the
influence of frictional heating on the boundary layer to prevent cyclone
over-intensification. However, it is shown that this term can improve
coupled simulations, enabling a more rigorous treatment of the near-surface
energy budget to be represented. For these cases, a 1D mixed layer scheme
shows similar first-order SST cooling and feedback on the cyclones to a 3D
ocean. Nevertheless, the 3D ocean generally shows stronger localized cooling
than the 1D ocean. Coupling with the waves has limited feedback on the
atmosphere for these cases. Priorities for future model development are
discussed.
A comparative analysis for a deep learning model (hyDL-CO v1.0) and Kalman filter to predict CO concentrations in China

Published: June 2022

Abstract. The applications of novel deep learning (DL) techniques in atmospheric science are rising quickly. Here we build a hybrid DL model (hyDL-CO), based
on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks, to provide a comparative analysis between DL and Kalman
filter (KF) to predict carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations in China in 2015–2020. We find the performance of DL model is better than KF in the
training period (2015–2018): the mean bias and correlation coefficients are 9.6 ppb and 0.98 over eastern China and are −12.5 ppb and
0.96 over grids with independent observations (i.e., grids with CO observations that are not used in DL training and KF assimilation). By
contrast, the assimilated CO concentrations by KF exhibit comparable correlation coefficients but larger negative biases. Furthermore, the DL
model demonstrates good temporal extensibility in the test period (2019–2020): the mean bias and correlation coefficients are 95.7 ppb and
0.93 over eastern China and 81.0 ppb and 0.91 over grids with independent observations, while CO observations are not fed into the DL
model as an input variable. Despite these advantages, we find a weaker prediction capability of the DL model than KF in the test period, and a
noticeable underestimation of CO concentrations at extreme pollution events in the DL model. This work demonstrates the advantages and
disadvantages of DL models to predict atmospheric compositions with respect to traditional data assimilation, which is helpful for better
applications of this novel technique in future studies.
Formulation of a new explicit tidal scheme in revised LICOM2.0
Authors: Jin Jiangbo , Guo Run , Zhang Minghua , Zhou Guangqing , Zeng Qingcun
Published: June 2022

Abstract. Tides play an important role in ocean energy transfer and mixing, and
provide major energy for maintaining thermohaline circulation. This study
proposes a new explicit tidal scheme and assesses its performance in a
global ocean model. Instead of using empirical specifications of tidal
amplitudes and frequencies, the new scheme directly uses the positions of
the moon and sun in a global ocean model to incorporate tides. Compared with
the traditional method that has specified tidal constituents, the new scheme
can better simulate the diurnal and spatial characteristics of the tidal
potential of spring and neap tides as well as the spatial patterns and
magnitudes of major tidal constituents (K1 and M2). It significantly reduces
the total errors of eight tidal constituents (with the exception of N2 and
Q1) in the traditional explicit tidal scheme, in which the total errors of
K1 and M2 are reduced by 21.85 % and 32.13 %, respectively. Relative to
the control simulation without tides, both the new and traditional tidal
schemes can lead to better dynamic sea level (DSL) simulation in the North
Atlantic, reducing significant negative biases in this region. The new tidal
scheme also shows smaller positive bias than the traditional scheme in the
Southern Ocean. The new scheme is suited to calculate regional distributions
of sea level height in addition to tidal mixing.
Modeling subgrid lake energy balance in ORCHIDEE terrestrial scheme using the FLake lake model
Authors: Bernus Anthony , Ottlé Catherine
Published: June 2022

Abstract. The freshwater 1-D FLake lake model was coupled to the ORCHIDEE land surface model to simulate lake energy balance at the global scale. A multi-tile approach has been chosen to allow the modeling of various types of lakes within the ORCHIDEE grid cell. Thus, three different lake tiles have been defined according to lake depth which is the most influential parameter of FLake, but other properties could be considered in the future. Several depth parameterization strategies have been compared, differing by the way to aggregate the depth of the subgrid lakes, i.e., arithmetical, geometrical, harmonical mean and median. Five atmospheric reanalysis datasets available at 0.5∘ or 0.25∘ resolution have been used to force the model and assess model systematic errors. Simulations have been performed, evaluated and intercompared against observations of lake water surface temperatures provided by the GloboLakes database over about 1000 lakes and ice phenology derived from the Global Lake and River Ice Phenology database. The results highlighted the large impact of the atmospheric forcing on the lake energy budget simulations and the improvements brought by the highest resolution products (ERA5 and E2OFD). The median of the root square mean errors (RMSEs) calculated at global scale ranges between 3.2 and 2.7 ∘C among the forcings, CRUJRA and ERA5 leading respectively to the worst and best results. The depth parameterization strategy appeared to be less influential, with RMSE differences less than 0.1 ∘C for the four aggregation scenarios tested. The simulation of ice phenology presented systematic errors whatever the forcing and the depth parameterization used. Large systematic errors were highlighted such as negative biases on the onset and positive biases on the offset. Freezing onset was shown to be the less sensitive to atmospheric forcing with the median of the errors ranging between 10 and 14 d. Larger errors up to 25 d were observed on the simulation of the end of the freezing period. Such errors, already highlighted in previous works, could be explained by scale effects and deficiencies in the modeling of snow–ice processes not accounting for partial ice cover. Various pathways are drawn to improve the model results, including the use of remote sensing data to better constrain the lake radiative parameters (albedo and extinction coefficient) as well as the lake depth thanks to the recent and forthcoming high-resolution satellite missions.
Hydroclimate and bedrock permeability determine young water fractions in streamflow across the tropical Andes mountains and Amazon floodplain
Authors: Burt Emily , Coayla Rimachi Daxs Herson , Ccahuana Quispe Adan Julian , West A. Joshua
Published: June 2022

Abstract. The role of topography on water transit times and pathways through catchments is unclear, especially in mountainous environments – yet these environments play central roles in global water, sediment, and biogeochemical fluxes. Moreover, the vast majority of intensively monitored catchments are located in northern latitudes. As a result, the interplay between water transit, topography and other landscape characteristics is particularly underexplored in tropical environments. Here we present the results of a multi-year hydrologic sampling campaign (twice-monthly and storm sampling) to quantify water transit in seven small catchments (< 3 km2) across the transition from the Andes mountains to Amazon floodplain in southern Peru. We use the stable isotope composition of water (δ18OH2O) to calculate the fraction of streamflow comprised of recent precipitation (“young water fraction”) for each of the seven small catchments. Mean unweighted young water fractions (Fyw) are 3–10 % in the Andes, 15–23 % at mid-elevation and 3–4 % in the foreland floodplain. Weighting the Fyw calculation by volume of streamflow and precipitation yield Fyw of 7–47 %. Across these catchments, topography does not exert a clear control on water transit; instead stream Fyw is controlled by a combination of hydroclimate and bedrock permeability. Mid-elevation sites are posited to have the highest Fyw due to less permeable bedrock, poorly developed soils and more frequent and intense rainfall. The data presented here allow us to explore relationships between topography, bedrock permeability, hydroclimate and stream baseflow Fyw – particularly highlighting the role of bedrock permeability and hydroclimate in determining water transit times in a tropical mountain setting.
Estimating a mean transport velocity in the marginal ice zone using ice–ocean prediction systems
Authors: Sutherland Graig , de Aguiar Victor , Hole Lars-Robert , Rabault Jean , Dabboor Mohammed , Breivik Øyvind
Published: June 2022

Abstract. Understanding the transport of objects and material in the marginal ice zone (MIZ) is critical for human operations in polar regions. This can be the transport of pollutants, such as spilled oil, or the transport of objects, such as drifting ships and search and rescue operations. For emergency response, the use of environmental prediction systems are required which predict ice and ocean parameters and are run operationally by many centres in the world. As these prediction systems predict both ice and ocean velocities, as well as ice concentration, it must be chosen how to combine these data to best predict the mean transport velocities. In this paper we present a case study of four drifting buoys in the MIZ deployed at four distinct ice concentrations. We compare short-term trajectories, i.e. up to 48 h lead times, with standard transport models using ice and ocean velocities from two operational prediction systems. A new transport model for the MIZ is developed with two key features aimed to help mitigate uncertainties in ice–ocean prediction systems: first, including both ice and ocean velocities and linearly weighting them by ice concentration, and second, allowing for a non-zero leeway to be added to the ice velocity component. This new transport model is found to reduce the error by a factor of 2 to 3 for drifters furthest in the MIZ using ice-based transport models in trajectory location after 48 h.
Mulieres religiosae y su vinculación con los cenobios del Reino de Sevilla en la Baja Edad Media

Published: June 2022

El propósito de nuestro trabajo es aproximarnos al estudio de algunos colectivos de mulieres religiosae, concretamente emparedadas, beatas, terceras y honestas y su relación con los miembros de distintas órdenes religiosas en el reino de Sevilla a fines de la Edad Media. En los últimos años ha aumentado el interés historiográfico y de investigación sobre estos grupos de mujeres, aunque casi siempre desde una perspectiva institucional. En este caso, nosotros queremos centrarnos en el establecimiento de una serie de vínculos con distintas comunidades monásticas y conventuales que permitieron a estas mujeres ir más allá de su concepción como personas enclaustradas. Conocer los detalles de las vidas de estas mujeres es posible gracias a los ricos fondos de protocolos notariales conservados en el Archivo Histórico Provincial de Sevilla y el Archivo Municipal de Jerez de la Frontera.
Poder, autoridad e influencia de las mujeres de la nobleza y las élites urbanas en las provincias vascas a finales de la Edad Media
Authors: Castrillo Janire
Published: June 2022

En este trabajo se analizan los canales utilizados por las mujeres de las élites nobiliarias y las oligarquías urbanas para poner en práctica su autoridad, en el ámbito de las provincias vascas a finales de la Edad Media. Siguiendo el modelo analítico propuesto por los estudios de las ladies (sobre mujeres nobles), se examina, primero, cómo las nobles gobernaron en algunas tesituras los señoríos de sus linajes. Después, cómo esas mujeres y las de los linajes urbanos dispusieron de facultades decisorias en relación con la gestión patrimonial y la política de alianzas matrimoniales y clientelares de sus familias. Finalmente, se examina su contribución en la proyección social de la valía familiar, mediante vías como el mecenazgo artístico. Las fuentes muestran a modelos de mujeres con desiguales capacidades de agencia, atendiendo a factores como el estado civil, la actitud mostrada por los parientes cercanos y el carisma personal. Pero, en general, es manifiesto que el colectivo dispuso de unas significativas cotas de autoridad en los campos mencionados.

Magnates, crédito y desposesión en Vélez-Málaga (1487-1523): una primera aproximación
Authors: Díaz Sierra Juan Manuel
Published: June 2022

El endeudamiento y la desposesión son dos de los elementos definitorios de las relaciones económicas de la Baja Edad Media en Andalucía, proceso en el que los episodios de crisis frumentarias jugaban un papel fundamental. Esta investigación se centra en el caso concreto de Vélez-Málaga (provincia de Málaga) entre los años 1487 y 1523, los primeros de la comunidad colonial que surgió de la conquista cristiana, y estudia la acción desposeedora del III conde de Cabra en el marco de dos periodos prolongados de subidas de precios, así como los efectos de su actuación en los diferentes estratos sociales de la población veleña. Se parte del análisis de documentación tanto inédita (procedente principalmente del fondo de la casa de Luque del Archivo Histórico de la Nobleza de Toledo) como publicada (los repartimientos) para concluir que, en las primeras décadas de su existencia, la sociedad colonial veleña sufrió un proceso de proletarización que desintegró la comunidad de pequeños y medianos propietarios surgida de los repartimientos.
La fabricación de los sellos de cera gomada en la Edad Media: estudio de una receta técnica del siglo XIV de la Biblioteca Nacional de España
Authors: Díaz Hidalgo Rafael Javier
Published: June 2022

Los sellos de cera, ya sean de las tipologías, pendientes o adheridos, fueron elementos esenciales de las sociedades antiguas, y en concreto las medievales y modernas. La composición y fabricación de estos no suelen aparecer en los estudios dedicados a la sigilografía, salvo aspectos muy breves de la materia y de la coloración de estos. Por ello este trabajo aborda la fabricación y composición de un tipo de sellos, los gomados que aparecen a partir de la generalización del uso del papel en los reinos ibéricos a mediados del XIII. Así pues, a partir de la receta de cera gomada, conservada en la Biblioteca Nacional de España (Madrid), se pretende conocer los procesos técnicos que se utilizaban para la confección de la pasta necesaria para la impresión de la matriz sigilar.

La idea arriesgada. Yves Bonnefoy, crítico de Platón
Authors: Ordóñez Roig Vicente
Published: June 2022

La poesía de Bonnefoy se sitúa, no contra la filosofía, sino contra el entramado eidético entretejido por Platón. Bonnefoy trata de evitar a toda costa las ideas platónicas y se separa de cualquier inclinación trascendente: la existencia concreta, el objeto sensible, la descripción de este mundo que se le presenta de manera fragmentaria y, por ello, esencial, es lo decisivo para el poeta. Así, frente a la existencia de una realidad metafísica, lo que para Bonnefoy se impone como decisivo es un saber negativo con el que llegar a alcanzar la verdad a través de la palabra y, en cierto modo, la libertad. Es en el ámbito de lo sensible donde, según Yves Bonnefoy, uno toca la profunda unidad de todo. Y es precisamente en esa unidad en la que Bonnefoy, siguiendo en esto a Plotino y desviándose de la senda abierta por Platón, considera que puede encontrarse la libertad.
Ռուսական ցորենի արտահանման սահմանափակումները և Հայաստանի «հացի խնդիրը»/Export Restrictions on Russian Wheat and «Issue of Bread» in Armenia

In recent years, in the context of unpredictable events in the world, the issue of food security in
some countries has become quite relevant. Economic ties and supply chains disrupted by the Covid-19
crisis showed regulatory trends last year. Although the global market continued to operate in the
context of the pandemic, it has already adapted sufficiently to this situation. One of the key features of
2021 was the steady increase in prices for basic goods, which reached the highest level in the last 10
years. However, the established fragile stability in the world food markets was fundamentally violated
by the Russian-Ukrainian war. Many countries of the world are already facing food security problems
and high inflation, since the two conflicting countries are the leading producers and exporters of the
most important food products (wheat, corn, vegetable oil, etc.).

Laparoscopic Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy (SADI-S) is a bariatric/metabolic procedure that has been gaining popularity in recent years. SADI-S strongly affects the secretion of various gut hormones, adipocytokines and incretins. From a mechanistic point of view, the operation combines malabsorption and restriction, and has been shown to have a long-lasting and significant impact on weight loss and remission of comorbidities.

Chewing sticks and other means of obtaining oral health are widely used throughout Africa. But how does the usage of materials compare to the conventional use of fluoride toothpastes for oral hygiene? The aim of the study was to comparatively evaluate the antibacterial efficacy of traditional oral care practices (chewing sticks, dental powders, mouth washes, table salt, and charcoal) and conventional toothpaste against two bacteria strains of public health significance. Standard microbiological and analytical methods were used.  Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC 314TM and Streptococcus mutans ATCC 25175were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection Centre and appropriately reactivated. The stem cuttings of chewing stick (Zanthoxylum zanthoxyloides and Massularia acuminata) were extracted using Soxhlet apparatus. Antibacterial activity of the extracts were  done using a modified Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion technique, the minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration were carried out using micro dilution technique of double fold dilution. Antibacterial susceptibility testing was done and multiple antibiotic resistance index of the bacterial strain was evaluated thereafter. The results showed that the toothpaste sample labelled B had the highest zone of inhibition (18.00±0.10 cm) and (21.00±0.87 cm) in at a 100% concentration for L. acidophilus and S. mutans respectively. The two chewing stick samples used in the study had antibacterial activity at 100 % concentration for both strains. The mouthwash used in the study tend to have the highest antibacterial activity against S. mutans and L. acidophilus having a diameter (mm) zone of inhibition 26.00±0.20 cm and 24.00±0.95 cm at 100 % concentration respectively. Mouth wash sample met the Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute criterion for reporting the result as sensitive ≥20. Gentamicin, Cefazidime and Meropenem were sensitive to both S. mutans ATCC®25175 and L. acidophilus ATCC®314. Both bacterial strains used in the study had an index greater than 0.2 which symbolizes that they are of public health importance.

Published: June 2022

The brand is a very important asset in winning business competition. Banks with high brand equity will find it easy to get customers to save and borrow funds in the bank. The purpose of this study is to describe brand equity using a financial perspective, because this research is a descriptive study. This research was conducted at a state-owned commercial bank with an observation period of 2010 to 2015. The method used to calculate brand value is the Hirose method, so data is needed since four years before the base year. The data analyzed in this study are secondary data from 2006 to 2015 collected through the documentation of state-owned commercial bank financial statements published on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The findings from the study note that in general state-owned commercial banks experienced an increase in brand value during the observation period 2010 to 2015. Based on the concept of resource-based view, state-owned commercial banks can optimize their brand equity as intangible assets to improve company performance. Based on the signaling theory, it is known that state-owned banks are in good condition because in general they have increased from 2010 to 2015.
Learning Attention Maps for Unsupervised Depth Estimation in Monocular Videos
Authors: Mendoza Julio , Pedrini Helio
Published: June 2022

In this work, we propose an approach to learn attention maps based on the features learned by a convolutional network. This network is trained to estimate dense depth maps using a view synthesis approach, in which sequences of frames are used as a supervised signal. The attention maps are used to increase the error contribution of the meaningful regions on the error computation between the synthesized and the real views. The attention maps are learned simultaneously with the depth network in an end-to-end manner. We evaluate our method on the depth estimation and odometry tasks of the KITTI benchmark [2]. The inclusion of the attention maps shows an improvement in both tasks when compared to a competitive baseline method.
Multi-item fabrication-shipment decision model featuring multi-delivery, postponement, quality assurance, and overtime

Published: June 2022

The study applies a postponement strategy to a multi-item fabrication-shipment decision making in a vendor-buyer coordinated environment with multi-delivery, quality reassurance, and overtime. To cope with the recent client demand trend asking for rapid response, quality, and diversified goods, today’s manufacturers require a multi-item production-shipping scheme to satisfy customers’ needs in cost-saving, quality, and timely matter. In our model, we first produce all needed mutual components and postpone manufacturing of finished goods in the second phase. To expedite mutual parts’ fabrication time, overtime is used. Product quality is reassured through screening the defeats and reworking repairable defectives in both fabrication phases. To decide the optimal fabrication-shipment policy, we build a math model and apply the cost minimization technique to the problem. Upon deriving the optimal policy, we utilize an example to demonstrate how our model works and its capability in exposing various previously inaccessible information to the problem. These detailed results can facilitate managerial decision-making and boost the performance of such a specific multi-item postponement fabrication-shipment system in cost-saving, product quality, and timely response.
