Rose plants are affected by several diseases caused by fungi, nematode, bacteria, viruses, and other pests. Among all of these, Curvularia lunata causes significant losses to Roses. Present study was focused on In-vitro and In-vivo management of the “Curvularia leaf spot of Rose” caused by Curvularia lunata by using different fungicides and phyto-extracts. Diseased samples were collected from floriculture area of University of Agriculture, Faisalabad for isolation of pathogen. Five fungicides i.e., Cabrio-Top, Curzate-M, Aliette, Polyram-DF and Recado @ (50ppm, 100ppm and 150ppm) and five plant extracts i.e., Allium cepa, Capsicum annuum, Aloe vera, Menthaand Calotropis gigantean with three concentrations @ (5%, 10% and 15%) were evaluated under lab conditions through poisoned food technique by using Complete Randomized Design (CRD), where C. annuum gave best results (9.129mm) followed by Calotropis gigantea (13.003mm), and Polyram-DF was effective (2.218mm) followed by Curzate-M (6.542mm). Best performing fungicides and plant-extracts were subjected to In-vivo management trials. Under green-house conditions, combination of Capsicum annuum + Calotropis gigantean and Polyram-DF + Curzate-M were shown least disease incidence (14.517 and 3.224%). LSD was used for comparing variations between treatments at 5% probability. The results of these experiments were to aid in the evaluation of fungicides and Phyto-extracts, which are the most effective chemicals and phyto-extracts against leaf Spot disease of Rose.
Promoting responsible AI: A European perspective on the governance of artificial intelligence in media and journalism
Authors: Porlezza Colin
Published: June 2023

Artificial intelligence and automation have become pervasive in news media, influencing journalism from news gathering to news distribution. As algorithms are increasingly determining editorial decisions, specific concerns have been raised with regard to the responsible and accountable use of AI-driven tools by news media, encompassing new regulatory and ethical questions. This contribution aims to analyze whether and to what extent the use of AI technology in news media and journalism is currently regulated and debated within the European Union and the Council of Europe. Through a document analysis of official policy documents, combined with a data mining approach and an inductive thematic analysis, the study looks at how news media are dealt with, in particular regarding their responsibilities towards their users and society. The findings show that regulatory frameworks about AI rarely include media, but if they do, they associate them with issues such as disinformation, data, and AI literacy, as well as diversity, plurality, and social responsibility.
Segregation, Education Cost, and Group Inequality
Authors: Kim Young-Chul , Ryu Doojin
Published: June 2023

This study analyzes the interplay between the segregation level, education cost, and the evolution of group inequality. In a market economy, individuals have incentives to invest in skill acquisition because of wage differentials. Because skill achievement is costly, a person with a higher inherent ability or a better community background is more likely to invest. Bowles, Loury, and Sethi (2014) show the possibility of group inequality evolution with a high level of segregation when network externalities over the skill acquisition period affect an individual’s decision of skill achievement. This study emphasizes the effect of education costs on the evolution of group inequality. Even when the level of segregation is high, if the societal education cost of skill acquisition is not sufficiently large, group skill disparity may not evolve. Observing that education costs vary significantly across countries depending on the structure of their educational institutions, this theoretical analysis suggests that some countries may suffer more from between-group disparity than others because their education systems impose higher costs on individuals.
The use of interlanguage pragmatic learning strategies (IPLS) by L2 learners: the impact of age, gender, language learning experience, and L2 proficiency levels
Authors: Derakhshan Ali , Malmir Ali , Pawlak Mirosław , Wang Yongliang
Published: June 2023

Interlanguage pragmatics has been the focus of many studies since its inception in the 1980s, with several issues being investigated and a variety of approaches being applied. However, studies on the learning processes and strategies which are specifically responsible for the acquisition of interlanguage pragmatics (ILP) knowledge are rare. Therefore, the current investigation sought to examine the effects of selected individual differences (IDs), including age, gender, language learning experience (LLE), and L2 proficiency, on the use of interlanguage pragmatic learning strategies (IPLS) in a sample of 160 English as a foreign language (EFL) learners. The data were collected utilizing a six-point IPLS inventory which contained 58 6-point Likert scale items that were divided into six subcategories. Data analysis using independent samples t-tests revealed that young learners used significantly more IPLS compared to their adult counterparts; nonetheless, there were no significant differences in the use of the IPLS between the female and male learners. At the same time, two one-way ANOVAs indicated that LLE and L2 proficiency played a significant role in the use of IPLS, that is, learners with longer LLE and higher proficiency levels used more IPLS. These findings have some pedagogical implications for L2 learners and teachers.

Published: June 2023

Although melanism is common in some mammal species, particularly in domestic forms, its occurrence in lagomorphs is rare. We report the first records of melanistic wild rabbit, Oryctolagus cuniculus in North Africa. These were obtained from a camera-trap set in Tiaret governorate, Algeria, in 2019 and 2020. Melanism is restricted to few species of Leporidae, genera Sylvilagus and Lepus. Dark rabbits have been reported to a new subspecies from Camargue (France), however this status is not recognized any longer.
Oral microbiome: a doubtful predictor but potential target of cardiovascular diseases
Authors: Cheng Chak Kwong , Huang Yu
Published: June 2023

Our oral cavity houses various types of microbes including bacteria, protozoa, fungi and viruses, harboring over 700 bacterial species. Oral dysbiosis refers to the imbalance between symbionts and pathobionts in the oral cavity, posing potential threats to host cardiovascular health. Importantly, oral dysbiosis promotes cardiovascular pathophysiology through different mechanisms. Although overgrowth of certain pathogenic bacteria have been indicated in some cardiometabolic diseases, it is still premature to consider oral microbiome as a suitable predictor for non-invasive diagnostic purpose. However, targeting oral microbiome might still provide preventive and therapeutic insights on cardiovascular diseases. Further extensive efforts are needed to deepen our understanding on oral-cardiovascular connection in the context of diagnostic and therapeutic perspectives.
Microfiber evanescent-field photothermal gas detection using acoustic-induced mode-dependent frequency shift

Published: June 2023

In this study, we experimentally showcase the microfiber evanescent-field photothermal gas detection by exploiting all-fiber MHz-level frequency shift scheme. Based on the acousto-optic interaction effect, the low-frequency shifts of 0.9 MHz and 1.83 MHz can be obtained through the cyclic conversion between the transverse core modes LP01 and LP11 in the few-mode fiber. Our proposed all-fiber frequency shifters show flexible MHz-level up(down) frequency shifts with superior sideband rejection ratio (over 40 dB) and low insertion loss (less than 1 dB). Furthermore, an all-fiber heterodyne interferometric detection system is implemented by leveraging the above low-frequency shifters, in which around 1-μm-diameter microfiber is investigated for photothermal gas detection. A pump-probe configuration is employed to obtain the photothermal effect induced by the gas absorption of the modulated evanescent field. By demodulating the phase of the beat signal output by the interferometer, an equivalent detection limit (1σ) of 32 ppm and a response time of 22 s are achieved for ammonia, as well as 0.24 % instability within 48 pump cycles. Given its compact all-fiber configuration and high sensitivity with fast response, the experimental results can pave the way for widespread applications like heterodyne detection, fiber optical sensors, and interplanetary coherent communications.

Janicijevic, D, Pérez-Castilla, A, Miras-Moreno, S, Ortega-Becerra, M, Morenas-Aguilar, MD, Smajla, D, Sarabon, N, and García-Ramos, A. Effect of a high-intensity handball-specific fatigue protocol focused on the leg contralateral to the throwing arm on interlimb asymmetries. J Strength Cond Res 37(7): 1382–1389, 2023—This study aimed to elucidate which countermovement jump (CMJ) variant (unilateral or bilateral) is more sensitive to detect the decrement in kinetic CMJ-derived variables of the leg more actively involved in a handball-specific fatigue protocol. Seventeen female handball players (age: 20.6 ± 2.5 years) performed a fatigue protocol consisting of 8 repetitions of the following circuit separated by 10 seconds: 10 m sprint, 180° change of direction with the leg contralateral to the throwing arm, 10 m sprint with ball reception at 7 m, and handball throw preceded by a jump over a 40 cm hurdle with the leg contralateral to the throwing arm. Before and after the fatigue protocol, 6 unilateral CMJs (3 with each leg) and 3 bilateral CMJs were performed on a dual Kistler force platform (model 9260AA6). Bilateral CMJ height was reduced by 5.4% after the fatigue protocol (p < 0.001). However, the fatigue protocol did not promote any significant change in peak force, mean force, and propulsive impulse or in their asymmetry values (17 of 18 comparisons). The decrement of 6.1% during the unilateral CMJ in the propulsive impulse developed by the leg ipsilateral to the throwing arm (less involved in the fatigue protocol) was the only variable that reached statistical significance (p = 0.038). The pre-post fatigue changes in asymmetry values presented negligible correlations between both CMJ variants (r

s
= 0.01 to −0.19). These results suggest that neither unilateral nor bilateral CMJs are able to detect changes in interlimb asymmetries after a high-intensity handball-specific fatigue protocol.
Evaluation of Aging Evolution of Olive Pomace–Modified Asphalt Binders under Natural Weather Aging Conditions
Authors: Zhang Kun
Published: June 2023

The natural weather aging test (NWAT) for asphalt binders is an essential benchmark aging test used to investigate the aging evolution of asphalt binders under actual weather conditions. This study assessed the aging rates of olive pomace–modified asphalt binders and the control neat binder under NWAT. Instead of aging days, weather factors were proposed as metrics to correlate with the aging evolution of the rheological properties of asphalt binders. The test results showed that the olive pulp–rich fraction-modified asphalt binders after the rolling thin-film oven (RTFO) test had lower aging susceptibility than the RTFO-aged control binder. The RTFO-aged binders exhibited lower aging rates than the corresponding unaged asphalt binders under NWAT. The sums of weather indexes such as the sum of the daily maximum ultraviolet index are rational field metrics to correlate with the rheological aging properties of natural weather–aged asphalt binders. Caution shall be taken when using aging days to interpret the aging rates of asphalt binders under NWAT.

Objective: This study aimed to examine whether integrating risk-enhancing factors into the Chinese Society of Cardiology-recommended clinical risk assessment tool (i.e., the CSC model) for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) might improve 10-year ASCVD risk stratification in Chinese adults.

Methods: A total of 4910 Chinese participants who were 50–79 years of age and free of cardiovascular disease in the 2007–2008 Survey from the Chinese Multi-provincial Cohort Study were included. We assessed the updated model’s clinical utility (i.e., Harrell’s C-index and net reclassification improvement [NRI]) by adding risk-enhancing factors individually or the number of risk-enhancing factors to the CSC model, for all individuals or those at intermediate risk. Risk-enhancing factors, including a family history of CVD, triglycerides ≥2.3 mmol/L, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein ≥2 mg/L, Lipoprotein (a) ≥50 mg/dL, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ≥4.9 mmol/L, overweight/obesity, and central obesity, were evaluated. ASCVD events were defined as a composite endpoint comprising ischemic stroke and acute coronary heart disease events (including nonfatal acute myocardial infarction and all coronary deaths).

Results: During a median 10-year follow-up, 449 (9.1%) ASCVD events were recorded. Addition of ≥2 risk-enhancing factors to the CSC model yielded a significant improvement in the C-index (1.0%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.2–1.7%) and a modest improvement in the NRI (2.0%, 95% CI: −1.2–5.4%) in the total population. For intermediate-risk individuals, particularly individuals at high risk of developing ASCVD, significant improvements in NRI were observed after adding ≥2 risk-enhancing factors (17.4%, 95% CI: 5.6–28.5%) to the CSC model.

Conclusions: Addition of ≥2 risk-enhancing factors refined 10-year ASCVD risk stratification, particularly for intermediate-risk individuals, supporting their potential in helping tailor targeted interventions in clinical practice.

Haftung bei einem qualifizierten Phishing mit weiteren Elementen des Social Engineering
Authors: Casper Matthias , Reich Bastian
Published: June 2023

Trotz der Einführung der Zwei-Faktor-Authentifizierung in § 55 ZAG – einer der wesentlichen Errungenschaften der zweiten Zahlungsdiensterichtlinie (PSD II) – häufen sich in jüngerer Zeit Betrugsfälle im Onlinebanking. Die Täter wählen dabei ein zweistufiges Vorgehen. Mittels einer gefälschten Internetseite oder einer klassischen Phishing-Mail bewegen sie den Kunden zunächst dazu, seine Zugangsdaten zum Online-Banking einzugeben. Mit den so erlangten Zugangsdaten spähen die Täter Kontodetails aus, die sie sodann bei einer Ansprache des Kunden per Telefon oder über sozialen Medien einsetzen, um den Kunden dazu zu bewegen, einen von den Tätern angelegten Zahlungsauftrag freizugeben. Dazu wird entweder die Freigabe-App verwendet oder der Kunde zur Weitergabe der mittels des Push-TAN-Verfahrens erzeugten TAN-Nummer an die Täter verleitet. Der Beitrag untersucht zunächst, ob trotz der Täuschung ein Zahlungsauftrag vorliegen kann. Soweit man dies verneint, ist zu untersuchen, ob eine Haftung wegen grober Fahrlässigkeit nach § 675v Abs. 3 BGB vorliegt. Dabei steht die Frage im Mittelpunkt, ob der Haftungsausschluss in § 675v Abs. 4 Satz 1 Nr. 1 BGB auch dann eingreift, wenn der Zahlungsdienstleister im ersten Schritt unter Rückgriff auf Art. 11 der technischen Regulierungsstandards zu § 55 ZAG auf den Einsatz einer starken Kundenauthentifizierung beim Einloggen in das Kontos verzichtet hat. Es wird die These begründet, dass § 675v Abs. 4 Satz 1 BGB aufsichtsakzessorisch auszulegen ist.

Published: June 2023

A pilot-scale membrane process for the concentration of effluent from an alkaline peroxide mechanical pulping (APMP) plant was investigated. Specifically, the cross-flow velocity and volume reduction were optimized again for a higher flux and a lower system energy consumption. A mathematical model was established to obtain the optimal parameters. Estimates were obtained of the expected savings in energy and water. The obtained optimal concentration conditions were: molecular weight cut-off at 10,000 Dalton, trans-membrane pressure at 3 bar, feed temperature at 50 oC, cross-flow velocity at 2 m/s, and volume reduction at 0.9. The average permeate flux under these conditions was 43.21 l/m2.h. The total solids content was increased from 25.47 g/L in the feed to 128.36 g/L in the concentrate. The permeate had low total solids content of 11.03 g/L, Chemical Oxygen Demand of 9180 mg/l, and Biochemical Oxygen Demand of 5870 mg/L. Such qualities would allow the permeate to be reused in the APMP process after a light biochemical treatment. With this new membrane concentration process, about 1402 kWh energy can be saved and 22 m3 effluent discharge can be reduced for each ton of pulp produced.

Published: June 2023

Rice husks were subjected to processing with hot, compressed water under selected conditions to cause the partial breakdown of xylan into soluble products (mainly xylooligosaccharides, XOS). The reaction media were subjected to membrane processing, endoxylanase treatment and ion exchange to obtain purified XOS concentrates. Human fecal slurry cultures with XOS were carried out to assess their bifidogenic activity to stimulate the production of Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA) and lactic acid. Results were compared with data obtained in similar cultures containing the prebiotic inulin and the non-prebiotic glucose. The experimental results confirmed the ability of XOS concentrates to act as fermentable carbohydrates for the human colonic microbiota, producing a rapid decrease of pH, comparable to that promoted by glucose and more pronounced than that occurring with inulin. XOS having different DP were degraded at different rates. The experimental results confirmed the ability of rice husk’s XOS concentrates for supporting the growth of bifidobacteria and for acting as carbon sources, leading mainly to the generation of acetic and lactic acids.
Role of alkaline-tolerant fungal cellulases in release of total antioxidants from agro-wastes under solid state fermentation
Authors: Ravindran Chinnarajan , Varatharajan Govindaswamy R. , Karthikeyan Azagesan.
Published: June 2023

The alkaline-tolerant marine-derived fungus Chaetomium globosum was tested for the production of enhanced levels of cellulases and free phenolics under highly alkaline conditions using agro wastes (cotton seed, sugar cane bagasse) as substrates under solid state fermentation (SSF) processes. In both the agro wastes used, an increase in cellulases (β-endoglucanase, β-Glucosidase, and β-exoglucanase) production was observed with increase in pH. This enhanced carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzymes (β-endoglucanase, β-Glucosidase and β-exoglucanase) and thereby enriched the total phenolic release from agro-wastes under SSF conditions of higher pH. A linear correlation was observed between released total phenolic contents of agro-wastes and total antioxidant property. The increased antioxidant activity on free radical scavenging was also observed with the increase in pH. Thus, the present study makes it possible to produce nutraceutical ingredients cost-effectively from agricultural wastes.

Authors: Espinoza Omar , Buehlmann Urs , Bond Brian H.
Published: June 2023

This second manuscript in the series about energy and the US hardwood industry reports results from research investigating the impact of energy prices on the US hardwood industry. The manuscript focuses on actions by the industry to improve energy performance. Most companies (63 percent) indicated that they are focusing on improving energy efficiency and/or improving productivity (41.3 and 41.9%, respectively) to cope with rising energy prices; however, only 8.6% of the survey respondents indicated that they have established energy usage baselines and energy performance indicators. Sixty-seven percent of companies indicated that they are training employees on energy saving issues. Other common initiatives for energy costs reductions were installing more efficient lighting, acquiring new high energy-efficient equipment, and measures to reduce the wastage of energy, like switching off high energy consuming equipment or close off or lit off sections with no traffic.
The Effect of O2O Service Characteristics on Behavioral Intention through the Satisfaction and Dissatisfaction Coexistence: An Investigation on KakaoT
Authors: Park Chanuk , Lee Sin-Bok
Published: June 2023

The study aims to examine the impact of O2O services that have become a ubiquitous part of our daily lives, with a specific focus on the widely used O2O service, KakaoT. Despite a recent setback in the form of a fire that caused inconvenience and harm to its users, some temporarily switched to alternative O2O services but eventually returned to KakaoT, which can be seen as a demonstration of the fact that these alternatives do not fully understand the needs of the users. The research endeavors to distinguish the characteristics of O2O services used by users and analyze the effect on their behavioral intentions through two-factor coexistence. The results of this study are expected to provide valuable insights for existing and future companies providing O2O services
Comparison Study of Operation Characteristics of AFCI Products
Authors: Ra Woongjae , Kong Hasung
Published: June 2023

It is well known that about 80% of electric fire occurs by arc fault. The arc fault can be generated in loose wire connection or damaged wire, outlets, appliances, extension cords, etc. To mitigate the electric fire, US mandated to use Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCI) since 2002. Before AFCI has been developed, Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) were used for prevention of electric shock accident but GFCIs are not able to detect arc fault that is main cause of electric fire. After AFCI requirement of US established, Canada, Europe, New Zealand also adopted the AFCI as mandatory. It is a worldwide trend to mandate AFCI in their countries. We are living in the era of changing from GFCIs to AFCIs. As the demand for AFCIs increases, many studies regarding development of AFCI products and technologies have been conducted but comparison study of operation characteristics of AFCI has not been done yet, thus in this paper we are going to conduct series of arc experiment with several AFCI products and compare their performance.

Published: June 2023

Educational data mining is widely deployed to extract valuable information and patterns from academic data. This research explores new features that can help predict the future performance of undergraduate students and identify at-risk students early on. It answers some crucial and intuitive questions that are not addressed by previous studies. Most of the existing research is conducted on data from 2-3 years in an absolute grading scheme. We examined the effects of historical academic data of 15 years on predictive modeling. Additionally, we explore the performance of undergraduate students in a relative grading scheme and examine the effects of grades in core courses and initial semesters on future performances. As a pilot study, we analyzed the academic performance of Computer Science university students. Many exciting discoveries were made; the duration and size of the historical data play a significant role in predicting future performance, mainly due to changes in curriculum, faculty, society, and evolving trends. Furthermore, predicting grades in advanced courses based on initial pre-requisite courses is challenging in a relative grading scheme, as students’ performance depends not only on their efforts but also on their peers. In short, educational data mining can come to the rescue by uncovering valuable insights from academic data to predict future performance and identify the critical areas that need significant improvement.

Slovanstvo v perspektíve davistov
Authors: Makara Martin
Published: June 2023

The study traces the development of the DAV group’s thinking about Slavicity from the groupʼs founding in 1922 to the outbreak of the Slovak National Uprising in 1944. The Davists initially interpreted Slavicity through coming to terms with the legacy of Ľ. Štúr, and in parallel with their reassessment of this legacy, their attitude towards Slavicity evolved and differentiated. In the period under review, the Slavic issue is developed to its peak by Vladimir Clementis, who formulates the principles of future Slavic cooperation on the principles of pan-Slavic mutuality according to Ján Kollár.

The four translations that were thoroughly analysed in terms of versology, prosody, euphony, poetological and translatological aspects show a limitless variability of the perception and interpretation of each of the four translators, underlining the necessity of a scrupulous interpretation of the source text, in order to avoid severe textual and semantic deviations, and a sensitive and imaginative approach towards the reformulation of the semantic code into the target language and its culture. All of the translators themselves managed to cope with the numerous boundaries and specifics of the source poem using various strategies and putting their focus on one or the other end of the metaphorical scale, being formal equivalence or phonetic, rather than phonological diction of the target translation. They have, thus, proven that the complexity of translation of metrical poetry proves and underlines the present-day status of such type of translation in Slovak cultural area and aims to draw intuitive and skilled translators and poets closer to the art of such poems as The Tiger by William Blake is.
Egy hagyományos iparág átalakulásának humán dimenziói: a magyar könnyűipar esete
Authors: Molnár Ernő , Mészáros Márk , Nagy Csongor
Published: June 2023

A nemzetközi termelési hálózatokba tagozódott, félperiférikus helyzetű magyar
textil-, ruha-, bőr- és lábbeligyártó (TCLF) ipar zsugorodik. Szerkezet- és
generációváltási folyamatai mégis nagyarányú munkaerőhiányt teremtenek, melynek
kezelése a könnyűipari szakmák iránti csekély érdeklődés és az iparágspecifikus
tudás (újra)termelését szolgáló intézményrendszer visszafejlődése miatt komoly
kihívás. Cikkünkben a könnyűipar munkaerőigényeket meghatározó szerkezeti és
területi jellemzőit, majd – friss terepi kutatásainkra építkezve – a cégek
kényszerek mentén formálódó humán stratégiáit mutatjuk be. Végül, a
diszkusszióban a globális termelési hálózatok (GPN) elméleti keretrendszerében
értelmezzük eredményeinket. Fő következtetésünk, hogy a termelési hálózatokban
történő hosszabb távú (sikeres) részvétel, illetve a megfelelő
humánerőforrás-utánpótlás egymást kölcsönösen feltételezi.
Vallejo y el terruño verbal: «Trilce» LII
Authors: Mazzotti José-Antonio
Published: June 2023

Este artículo analiza el poema LII de Trilce (1922) subrayando la importancia del lenguaje infantil utilizado por Vallejo en este como en otros textos en función de uno de los polos fundamentales de atracción de su poesía: el retorno a su terruño natal, Santiago de Chuco, tropo de la comunidad primordial y antesala de la unidad perdida durante la adultez y la experiencia migratoria del autor. Vallejo logra, mediante el uso del castellano local de su infancia, una teatralización del referente que le otorga a su poesía un cariz único en las letras latinoamericanas del momento
Excavando la modernidad en «Trilce» de César Vallejo y «The Waste Land» de T. S. Eliot
Authors: Hart Stephen-M.
Published: June 2023

Extraña coincidencia, tanto Trilce como The Waste Land se publicaron en octubre de 1922, annus mirabilis del «Modernism» anglosajón, y en este ensayo me propongo «excavar» la proyección de esta modernidad en la obra de T. S. Eliot y César Vallejo. Empleo cinco ejemplos de la excavación en la época moderna –la de la tierra, del cuerpo, del cerebro, del átomo y (con la ayuda de Heidegger y Foucault) del lenguaje– para luego pasar a una investigación de la búsqueda en la obra de estos dos poetas de una nueva dimensión de la realidad dentro del lenguaje poético. El significado del poema en la Obra de la Vanguardia ahora nace dentro de la grieta que existe entre las palabras. Finalmente concluyo con la discusión de la hipótesis de que tanto Vallejo como Eliot, con su construcción respectiva de «montones» de «imágenes rotas», crearon en 1922 una nueva mitología de la modernidad.
César Vallejo en Gustavo Gutiérrez como precursor de la Teología de la Liberación
Authors: Aparicio-Molina Yannelys , Esteban Ángel
Published: June 2023

César Vallejo fue un escritor muy preocupado por el aspecto espiritual del hombre. En ello influyó su profunda formación religiosa, así como el deseo de infinito desde su crisis en la adolescencia. A todo ello se unió la tensión entre espiritualidad y aceptación de los presupuestos materialistas del marxismo a partir de final de los años veinte. Con una necesidad de trascendencia y un compromiso singular por los más desfavorecidos, trató de compaginar el credo marxista de su etapa madura con la tradición cristiana que acepta la certeza de un ser superior y un destino para el ser humano, adecuado a su dignidad de criatura espiritual. En ese sentido, su poética constituyó un antecedente de la Teología de la Liberación, toda vez que Gustavo Gutiérrez, teólogo peruano impulsor de esa corriente espiritualista, manifestó en muchas ocasiones la enorme huella que dejó en su formación cultural la poesía de su compatriota.
Pérez Galdós y los versos latinos en honor a Godoy («El 19 de marzo y el 2 de mayo»): su autoría, procedencia y contextualización. Nueva propuesta de edición
Authors: García-Jurado Francisco
Published: June 2023

El presente trabajo tiene como principal propósito revelar la autoría de los tres versos latinos citados por Pérez Galdós en su novela El 19 de marzo y el 2 de mayo (1873). Tras el correspondiente estado de la cuestión, y una vez descartados Pérez Galdós o, más probablemente, Sánchez Barbero, como autores, se ha encontrado su fuente en un poema en honor a Godoy, conservado en dos copias manuscritas, una en la Real Academia de la Historia y la otra en la Biblioteca Menéndez Pelayo. Su autor es el pensador ilustrado Joaquín Traggia. Este hecho plantea, asimismo, el problema de cómo pudo conocer Pérez Galdós uno de estos manuscritos hacia 1872. Además, se ha cotejado el texto manuscrito de Traggia con la cita galdosiana tal como aparece en la versión impresa, así como con el propio texto manuscrito de Pérez Galdós. En definitiva, se ha determinado la autoría de los versos citados, su procedencia y, finalmente, se ha estudiado su contextualización en la obra de Pérez Galdós. Se propone, finalmente, una nueva edición corregida de tales versos.
Baroja, «La familia de Errotacho» y los sucesos de Vera de Bidasoa de 1924
Authors: Insausti-Herrero-Velarde Gabriel
Published: June 2023

En 1924 tuvo lugar en Vera de Bidasoa y sus aledaños un intento de levantar una revolución en manos de un grupo de anarcosindicalistas refugiados en Francia. En la segunda parte de La familia de Errotacho (1932), Pío Baroja recoge estos acontecimientos en una «novela reportaje». Una lectura atenta de algunos aspectos formales del texto y el cotejo del relato con los hechos históricos invitan a reflexionar sobre la naturaleza problemática de este subgénero híbrido, las motivaciones personales e ideológicas del autor y su recepción en el contexto de la Segunda República.

Book Review
In memory of Ryszard Ryba (1935–2022)
Authors:   director of the Diocesan Museum in Rzeszów diocesan conservator of historical monuments, Batory Paweł
Published: June 2023

Ryszard Ryba is a Polish sculptor active in the second half of the 20 th century. He was primarily a creator of sacred art, and his works can be found in the churches of the Podkarpacie and Lesser Poland regions (the present dioceses of Przemyśl, Rzeszów, Tarnów and Sandomierz). In addition to sculpting, he was involved in designing sacred interiors and elements of their decor (tabernacles, sedilia, pews, confessionals, etc.), participating in the development of principles for adapting church interiors to the conditions of the reformed liturgy after the Second Vatican Council. He is also the author of graphic and drawing series, which he created especially in the first twenty years of the 21 st century. His sculptures, especially those from the beginning of his creative path, are characterised by great simplicity. Their impact is due to their powerful, synthetic form, acting as an expressive sign. With time, his great narrative talent became revealed more and more clearly, and the qualities that built the mood of unique softness and tenderness came to the fore. He was also increasingly willing to reach for topics related to family and everyday life. His artistic oeuvre, however, constitutes a coherent whole which is still intensely impressive.
importância do ensino de propriedade intelectual em cursos técnicos
Authors: Silva Joelson Conceição da , Profeta Graciela Aparecida
Published: June 2023

Este artigo objetivou avaliar o conhecimento dos estudantes dos cursos técnicos oferecidos pela Firjan SENAI sobre Propriedade Intelectual (PI) e sua importância nesse nível de ensino. Para tanto, foi feita uma pesquisa, entre novembro de 2019 e abril de 2020, com coleta de dados estruturados, conferindo-lhes tratamento quantitativo. Constatou-se que esses estudantes desconhecem conceitos básicos de PI e sua importância para a transferência de tecnologia. Foi proposta a inserção, na matriz curricular desses cursos técnicos, da disciplina Propriedade Intelectual, onde sejam contemplados os conceitos básicos de PI e transferência de tecnologia, pois embora já existam aulas de empreendedorismo nos cursos da instituição, ainda não existe nenhuma disciplina que aborde a propriedade intelectual.
evolução do ensino técnico agrícola no brasil
Authors: Oliveira Carlos Manoel , Pereira Cláudio Alves
Published: June 2023

A história da educação de nível médio no Brasil é marcada pela dualidade entre a oferta de ensino médio profissionalizante aos trabalhadores e a oferta do ensino médio regular para as classes mais ricas. O Decreto nº 5.154/2004, fomentou a discussão sobre a necessária formação omnilateral do sujeito estudante e a criação da rede de instituições de ensino tem como meta a pretendida formação. O foco deste artigo é a análise do Curso Técnico Agrícola modalidade integrado do Instituto Federal de Educação Ciência e Tecnologia campus Bambuí. O estudo aponta que, embora tenham sido identificadas atividades integradoras, estas têm ficado limitadas a atividades pontuais e que, de fato, não alcançam a formação omnilateral pretendida pela política pública.
Ensino médio integrado na rede federal de Educação Profissional, Ciência e Tecnologia e a proposta de escola unitária de Gramsci
Authors: Uchoa Antonio Marcos
Published: June 2023

Este ensaio objetiva realizar uma breve discussão sobre as aproximações e os distanciamentos na concepção e materialidade entre os fundamentos e orientações relacionados ao Ensino Médio Integrado (EMI) e a proposta de Escola Unitária gramsciana. Discutimos acerca das reformas da educação profissional e do ensino médio nas décadas de 1990 e 2000 destacando a proposta de escola unitária gramsciana como fundamento desta última reforma. Concluímos que, de forma ambígua e contraditória, as experiências de implementação do EMI na Rede Federal têm caminhado no sentido do fortalecimento do EMI, da politecnia e da omnilateralidade como horizontes, assim como acerca das necessidades da defesa contínua da proposta de escola unitária gramsciana como fundamento do EMI.

Aim. The study of the structural and functional properties of arteries in patients after a coronavirus disease 2019.

Material and methods. The study included 113 people: 45 people who were examined before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, healthy individuals who had COVID-19 (n=44), 24 patients with hypertension (HTN) in combination with prior COVID-19. In the individuals included in the study, the blood tests were performed, while the carotid arteries were evaluated using high-RF signal technology, applanation tonometry, volume sphygmography, and a test with post-occlusive reactive hyperemia were performed.

Results. According to the study of carotid arteries, significant differences were registered between groups of healthy individuals (with and without a history of COVID-19) and HTN patients after COVID-19. According to the applanation tonometry in patients with hypertension and COVID-19 in history, aortic pressure and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity significantly exceeded those in cohorts of individuals without cardiovascular diseases. According to the results of volume sphygmography in the group of patients after COVID-19, signs of early vascular aging were revealed, and the maximum values of these indicators were recorded in the group of hypertensive patients.

Conclusion. The results obtained in the course of this study make it possible to state an increase in the arterial stiffness in people after COVID-19, which can be regarded as a sign of early vascular aging.
