Analysing bilingualism and biscriptality in medieval Scandinavian epigraphic sources: a sociolinguistic approach
Authors: Palumbo Alessandro
Published: May 2023

Written culture in high and late medieval Scandinavia is characterized by a long and complex relationship between the Latin written tradition and the older native runic one. One product of the intersection of these traditions are several epigraphs where Latin, vernacular, Latin alphabet, and runes are combined. The aim of this paper is to propose a framework for analysing such bilingual and biscriptal inscriptions which takes into account two fundamental aspects of language and script choice: (1) the literacy of those involved in the production and reception of the texts, and (2) the role of the indexicality of languages and scripts in the shaping and representation of identities. The paper draws on epigraphic analyses and modern sociolinguistic approaches to written multilingualism and shows that an interdisciplinary method can further our understanding of the relationship between the Latin and vernacular written cultures, their status relative to each other, and their social functions in medieval Scandinavia.

Published: May 2023

Context

Over 68,000 deaths were attributed to opioid-related overdose in 2020. Evaluative studies have shown that states that utilized Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) systems have decreased opioid-related deaths. With the growing use of PDMPs and an ongoing opioid epidemic, determining the demographics of physicians at risk of overprescribing can elucidate prescribing practices and inform recommendations to change prescribing behaviors.

Objectives

This study aims to assess prescribing behaviors by physicians in 2021 based on four demographics utilizing the National Electronic Health Record System (NEHRS): physician’s age, sex, specialty, and degree (MD or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine [DO]).

Methods

We performed a cross-sectional study of the 2021 NEHRS to determine the relationship between physician characteristics and PDMP use on opioid-prescribing behaviors. Differences between groups were measured via design-based chi-square tests. We constructed multivariable logistic regression models to assess the relationships, via adjusted odds ratios (AOR), between physician characteristics and alternate prescribing patterns.

Results

Compared to female physicians, male physicians were more likely to alter their original prescription to reduce morphine milligram equivalents (MMWs) prescribed for a patient (AOR: 1.60; CI: 1.06–2.39; p=0.02), to change to a nonopioid/nonpharmacologic option (AOR: 1.91; 95 % CI: 1.28–2.86; p=0.002), to prescribe naloxone (AOR=2.06; p=0.039), or to refer for additional treatment (AOR=2.07; CI: 1.36–3.16; p<0.001). Compared to younger physicians, those over the age of 50 were less likely to change their prescription to a nonopioid/nonpharmacologic option (AOR=0.63; CI: 0.44–0.90; p=0.01) or prescribe naloxone (AOR=0.56, CI: 0.33–0.92; p=0.02).

Conclusions

Our results showed a statistically significant difference between specialty category and frequency of prescribing controlled substances. After checking the PDMP, male physicians were more likely to alter their original prescription to include harm-reduction strategies. Optimizing the use of PDMP systems may serve to improve prescribing among US physicians.

Published: May 2023

Objectives

Many physiological adaptations occur during pregnancy. It is not currently known how timing of COVID-19 infection impacts pregnancy. We hypothesize that maternal and neonatal outcomes are different if COVID-19 infection occurs in different trimesters of pregnancy.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study was conducted from 3/2020 to 6/2022. Pregnant patients with a positive COVID-19 infection more than 10 days before delivery (COVID-recovered) were identified and grouped by trimester of infection. Demographics and maternal, obstetric, and neonatal outcomes were analyzed. ANOVA, Wilcoxon rank-sum test, Pearson’s chi-squared test, and Fisher’s exact test were used to compare continuous and categorical data.

Results

A total of 298 COVID-recovered pregnant patients were identified. Of those, 48 (16 %) were infected in the 1st trimester, 123 (41 %) in the 2nd, and 127 (43 %) in the 3rd. There were no significant demographic differences between the study groups. Vaccination status was similar. Hospital admission rate and the need for oxygen therapy while infected were significantly higher in patients with 2nd or 3rd trimester infection (18 % & 20 % vs. 2 % and 13 % & 14 % vs. 0 %, respectively). Rates of preterm birth (PTB) and extreme PTB were higher in the 1st trimester infection group. Infants born to mothers infected in the 2nd trimester had more neonatal sepsis workups (22 % vs. 12 % & 7 %). Other outcomes were similar between groups.

Conclusions

First trimester COVID-recovered patients were more likely to have a preterm birth despite having lower rates of hospital admission and oxygen supplementation while infected than patients who recovered from a 2nd or 3rd trimester infection.
Acoustic emission wavelet time-frequency characteristics of fiber reinforced mortar failure process under axial compression
Authors: Wang Yan , Wang Na , Yan Chao , Zhao Haitao
Published: May 2023

In order to investigate the wavelet time-frequency characteristics of fiber reinforced mortar under axial compression, acoustic emission signals associated with steel fiber reinforced mortar and polypropylene fiber reinforced mortar with five different fiber contents (0 to 2.0 vol%) under axial compression were recorded. A new method of multivariate statistical analysis of wavelet time-frequency maps based on Morlet wavelet transform is proposed to make signal processing more accurate. Results show in the 15% to 85% loading stage, Type 3 and Type 4 signals are abundant in fiber reinforced mortar than plain mortar, while Type 7 and Type 9 signals are abundant in the 85% to 100% loading stage. According to the temporal localization characteristics of signal frequency quantified by each type of signals, it can be inferred that the fibers improve the toughness of concrete materials. It is also found the strengthening and toughening effect of steel fiber is more sensitive to fiber contents than that of polypropylene fiber. The ratio of Type 1 signals can be used as a warning against the final failure of materials while that of Type 5 signals can be used to evaluate the anti-cracking effect of fibers.
Path-dependent multiaxial fatigue behavior of A319 aluminum alloy under non-proportional loading conditions
Authors: Liao Yiping , Liu Xiaoshan , He Guoqiu , Zhou Zhiqiang , Liu Yinfu , Wang Qigui , He Qiao
Published: May 2023

In the multiaxial low fatigue test study, four multiaxial non-proportional fatigue loading paths were used including rectangular, square, rhombic and circular. The effect of loading condition changes on the fatigue behavior and cyclic damage characteristics of A319 aluminum alloy was investigated by means of stress response curves, stress–strain hysteresis lines, fatigue fracture morphology, and dislocation substructure morphology in combination with material microstructure. The non-proportional hardening behavior exhibits strong loading path dependence, and the fatigue plastic deformation in the torsional direction is greater in the circular and rhombic paths, and the fatigue damage is more severe, resulting in a shorter fatigue life of A319 aluminum alloy. The axial directions under non-proportional multiaxial loading all have tensile and compressive asymmetric behavior. The differences in loading paths result in different fatigue crack expansion modes. The non-proportional additional hardening behavior under different loading paths is closely related to the dislocation substructure. In the rhombic and circular paths, the alloys have higher dislocation density and strong interaction between dislocations and precipitation phases, which is macroscopically expressed as stronger non-proportional hardening ability in the rhombic and circular loading paths.
Accelerated test device and method for critical chloride concentration initiating steel depassivation in cement-based materials
Authors: Lu Jinma , Huang Junming , Yu Bo
Published: May 2023

In order to overcome the disadvantages of traditional test devices and methods, new accelerated test device and efficient test method for critical chloride concentration (Ccrit) initiating steel depassivation in cement-based materials were developed. Based on the theory of electromigration, a new accelerated test device for Ccrit was invented first by combining with the chloride electromigration system and electrochemical test system. Then the influences of applied voltage and continuous power-on time on electrochemical parameters including open-circuit potential, polarization resistance, and corrosion current density during the steel depassivation process were investigated. Moreover, an efficient test method for Ccrit was proposed based on the quantitative criterion in terms of corrosion current density. Analysis results show that Ccrit can be measured quickly and accurately based on the accelerated test device and method by selecting appropriate applied voltage (e.g., 3–6 V) and continuous power-on time (e.g., 48–72 h).
How to get deeper insights into the optical properties of lanthanide systems: a computational protocol from ligand to complexes
Authors: Carlotto Silvia , Babetto Luca , Rancan Marzio , Bottaro Gregorio , Casarin Maurizio , Armelao Lidia
Published: May 2023

Theoretical calculations are proving as an essential tool to understand luminescence processes even for systems including lanthanide (Ln3+) ions. As such, the aim of this study is that of presenting a general and comprehensive theoretical protocol based on DFT calculations to rationalize and possibly drive the design of new luminescent Ln3+ complexes through the ab initio determination of the electronic properties of a ligand and two Eu3+ complexes. Different theoretical methodologies have been combined to look into the excited state energies, the luminescence quantum yield, and the energy transfer processes. The protocol has been validated for a β-diketone ligand and two Eu3+ complexes, which contain, in addition to the main ligand, ethanol or triphenylphosphine oxide. Moreover, by starting from the geometry optimization up to the estimation of the ligands’ singlet and triplet lowest energy states, theoretical results quantitatively agree with luminescence experimental parameters, providing at the same time insights into the different energy transfer processes. The different quantum yields of the two complexes have been correctly reproduced.
Anticancer activity and DNA interaction of bis(pyridyl)allene-derived metal complexes

Published: May 2023

The constant need for novel drugs has prompted the scientific community to explore alternative structures to natural products and small and medium size organic compounds used in classic medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry. Since the discovery of cisplatin, organometallic compounds have revealed great potential as metallodrugs and their development has exponentially grown in recent years. In this manuscript, we describe our efforts towards the synthesis of new metallodrugs by reaction of bis(pyridyl)allenes and metal complexes. Two classes of compounds are presented: one in which the allene structure is intact and the metal (Pd(II), Pt(IV) or Au(III)) coordinates to the pyridine-nitrogens; and another, in which one of the pyridines cyclises into a gold-activated allene to form β-N-stabilised gold carbenes. Both classes of compounds are active catalysts in important organic reactions, and are also promising antimicrobial, antifungal and anticancer agents. In this work, we describe the promising anticancer activity, against breast cancer cells, of the gold carbene complexes, and preliminary studies of their interaction with DNA, including non-canonical DNA structures. Our results have revealed an unusual selective stabilisation of hTeloC i-motif by one of the Au(III) carbene complexes, that opens up exciting opportunities for further development of novel DNA-binding metallodrugs.
Experimental investigation of liquid metal droplet flow affected by a time-dependent magnetic field
Authors: Karcher Christian , Lyu Ze
Published: May 2023

The present study investigates experimentally the effects of a time-dependent and spatially inhomogeneous magnetic field on liquid metal droplet flow down an inclined substrate. The flow is solely excited by the electromagnetic interactions between the electrically conducting melt and the applied magnetic field. The metal droplet consists of the eutectic alloy GaInSn which is liquid at room temperature. The magnetic field is generated in the gap between two metallic disks that are equipped with a special geometric arrangement of permanent magnets and put into a measured rotation. During the experiments, a droplet of a measured volume is positioned on an electrically non-conducting substrate that is slightly inclined against the horizontal direction. Droplet and substrate are placed in between the two rotating magnetic disks. In our experiments, we record the electromagnetically excited flow of the droplet downwards onto the substrate using a high-speed camera system. Applying standard techniques of digital image processing, we measure both the displacement position and velocity of the droplet as a function of time. We observe that, depending on the rotation rate of the disks and angle of inclination, the magnetic field eventually triggers this spreading process. In more detail, by evaluating the recorded data, we find that the magnetic field excites capillary waves at the free surface of the droplet. These surface waves contribute to a redistribution of volume towards the contact line formed at the downward-facing end tip of the droplet. This mode of transport steepens the contact angle, allowing the droplet to move. Besides the fundamental aspect of this work, the present study may contribute to the electromagnetic control of both the production of metallic microfibers and metallurgic coating processes as well as to the non-contact electromagnetic flow measurement technique of Lorentz force velocimetry applied to liquid metal free-surface flows.
Hanging Topic Left Dislocations as extrasentential constituents: toward a paratactic account. Evidence from English and Spanish
Authors: Villa-García Julio
Published: May 2023

The paper argues for a bisentential, paratactic account of Hanging Topic Left Dislocations wherein the syntactically unconnected hanging topic phrase is the remnant of an elliptical copulative sentence which is linearly juxtaposed to the second, host sentence. This proposal represents a natural extension of Ott’s system for Clitic Left Dislocations and predicative non-restrictive nominal appositives. By assuming that the hanging topic is structurally disconnected from the host sentence, the analysis constitutes a radical departure from integrated/monosentential approaches within cartography, which analyze hanging topics as intrasentential, albeit peripheral, constituents in the left spine of the clause. Using data from English and Spanish as well as from other linguistic varieties, the paratactic approach provides a principled account of various issues facing monosentential analyses of hanging topics, including anti-connectivity, coreference with the resumptive/epithetic correlate, comma intonation/pause potential, case, insensitivity to locality constraints, islandhood, and potential presence of interjections between hanging topic and host sentence, amongst others. The account is also successful in capturing orphaned topics, which are not linked to any constituent in the sentence they occur with, alongside ‘interrogative’ and hyperdetached hanging topics.
The Standard Model and quantum state reduction from Heim’s field theory
Authors: Warmann Thomas
Published: May 2023

Core parts of the Standard Model are derived from B. Heim’s quantum field theory, whose poly-metric describes spacetime and matter in a unified formalism. Its non-linear eigenvalue equation transforms into the Einstein field equation in the macroscopic limit. The 6-dimensional Heim space can be determined as locally isomorphic to a SU(2) ⊗ SU(2) ⊗ U(1) ⊗ U(1) symmetry and thus to the SU(3), which allows to connect to the local gauge symmetries and boson fields of the Standard Model. The Fermion and Higgs field and their coupling are deduced from Heim’s basic equations, providing new insight into possible correlations of these fields. Furthermore, the derivation yields an additional imaginary coupling term which seems to account for quantum mechanical state reduction in the non-relativistic limit. The recently performed calculation of the mass spectrum of elementary particles in a new approach based on Heim’s theory (with average error to the data

) appears as even more relevant, having now shown that the theory can connect to the achievements of the Standard Model.
DESCOLONIZAR O SABER DESDE UMA PEDAGOGIA FEMINISTA DECOLONIAL
Authors: Alves Dombkowitsch Luciana , Alves da Silva Marcia
Published: May 2023

Grada Kilomba diz que o colonialismo é uma ferida que nunca foi tratada. Uma ferida que dói sempre, por vezes infecta, e outras vezes sangra. Esse texto tem como ponto de partida pensar como a educação na América Latina se forja, fundada em uma episteme hegemonicamente eurocêntrica do saber tida como universal. Se propõe a problematizar a educação formal/informal, constituída a partir de um sistema mundo moderno colonial, segundo o qual, as relações de colonialidade são fundantes da modernidade. Essa proposta busca pensar a descolonização do saber como uma forma de resistência e insurgência em face das condições impostas pela colonialidade do poder. Como forma de resistência, busca alternativas em uma pedagogia feminista decolonial. Tal proposta se justifica, pela urgência de uma pedagogia feminista decolonial que transforme o modelo tradicional de educação, rompendo com a lógica universal do conhecimento moderno/colonial que articula as mais diversas formas de opressão, dentre elas, as de classe, raça e gênero. A pesquisa propõe então, um diálogo entre as teorias feministas decolonial e as teorias fundantes da interseccionalidade, tendo por base os diversos marcadores sociais da diferença. Esse estudo propõe através desta metodologia, buscar romper com esse conhecimento eurocentrado que se tornou hegemônico, e eliminar o sistema que alimenta diversas opressões, especialmente nos povos do Sul global, a partir de uma episteme que retroalimenta a colonialidade do poder e, consequentemente, a colonialidade de gênero. Contra a colonialidade do saber é urgente uma estratégia de decolonialidade da educação, como a única forma de romper-se com o monismo científico. A partir de uma epistemologia do sul global será possível romper com a geopolítica que impõe o eurocentrismo como a única e dominante ideologia, episteme, epistemologia e metodologia do conhecimento.
A New Mouse Model of Giant Axonal Neuropathy with Overt Phenotypes and Neurodegeneration Driven by Neurofilament Disorganization
Authors: Nath Banshi , Julien Jean-Pierre
Published: May 2023

Research on pathogenic mechanisms underlying giant axonal neuropathy (GAN), a disease caused by a deficiency of gigaxonin, has been hindered by the lack of appropriate animal models exhibiting substantial symptoms and large neurofilament (NF) swellings, a hallmark of the human disease. It is well established that intermediate filament (IF) proteins are substrates for gigaxonin-mediated degradation. However, it has remained unknown to what extent NF accumulations contribute to GAN pathogenesis. Here, we report the generation of a new mouse model of GAN that is based on crossing transgenic mice overexpressing peripherin (Prph) with mice knockout forGan. The Gan−/−;TgPer mice developed early onset sensory-motor deficits along with IF accumulations made up of NF proteins and of Prph, causing swelling of spinal neurons at a young age. Abundant inclusion bodies composed of disorganized IFs were also detected in the brain of Gan−/−;TgPer mice. At 12 months of age, the Gan−/−;TgPer mice exhibited cognitive deficits as well as severe sensory and motor defects. The disease was associated with neuroinflammation and substantial loss of cortical neurons and spinal neurons. Giant axons (≥160 μm2) enlarged by disorganized IFs, a hallmark of GAN disease, were also detected in dorsal and ventral roots of the Gan−/−;TgPer mice. These results, obtained with both sexes, support the view that the disorganization of IFs can drive some neurodegenerative changes caused by gigaxonin deficiency. This new mouse model should be useful to investigate the pathogenic changes associated with GAN disease and for drug testing.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTResearch on pathogenic mechanism and treatment of GAN has been hampered by the lack of animal models exhibiting overt phenotypes and substantial neurofilament disorganization, a hallmark of the disease. Moreover, it remains unknown whether neurologic defects associated with gigaxonin deficiency in GAN are because of neurofilament disorganization as gigaxonin may also act on other protein substrates to mediate their degradation. This study reports the generation of a new mouse model of GAN based on overexpression of Prph in the context of targeted disruption of gigaxonin gene. The results support the view that neurofilament disorganization may contribute to neurodegenerative changes in GAN disease. The Gan−/−;TgPer mice provide a unique animal model of GAN for drug testing.
Gendering Violence in the Age of Anti-Genderism
Authors: Wilson-McDonald Alexandria
Published: May 2023

This article examines the collective action frames of violence against women put forth by women’s organizations in the gender equality community in Slovakia during the current period of heightened conservative activism against gender and sexual equality. This study finds that women’s organizations in Slovakia overwhelmingly deploy a Gender Equality frame with distinctly feminist-oriented content to resist violence against women during the current period of anti-gender activism and accompanying state hostility toward feminist goals. This differs from previous studies that find women’s organizations in Central Eastern Europe historically deploy gender-neutral frames, providing evidence to the theory that anti-genderism can contribute to more radical activism as a response. Frames are contextualized through a discussion of the anti-gender movement in the country utilizing the concept of discursive opportunity structure.
Coronary Microvascular Spasm: Clinical Presentation and Diagnosis
Authors: Godo Shigeo , Takahashi Jun , Shiroto Takashi , Yasuda Satoshi , Shimokawa Hiroaki
Published: May 2023

Professor Maseri pioneered the research and treatment of coronary vasomotion abnormalities represented by coronary vasospasm and coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD). These mechanisms can cause myocardial ischaemia even in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease, and have been appreciated as an important aetiology and therapeutic target with major clinical implications in patients with ischaemia with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA). Coronary microvascular spasm is one of the key mechanisms responsible for myocardial ischaemia in patients with INOCA. Comprehensive assessment of coronary vasomotor reactivity by invasive functional coronary angiography or interventional diagnostic procedure is recommended to identify the underlying mechanisms of myocardial ischaemia and to tailor the best treatment and management based on the endotype of INOCA. This review highlights the pioneering works of Professor Maseri and contemporary research on coronary vasospasm and CMD with reference to endothelial dysfunction, Rho-kinase activation and inflammation.

Published: May 2023

Introduction: Coral reefs worldwide-decline has prompted coral restoration as a viable strategy to rewild vulnerable, foundational coral species. Stony corals are now propagated by the thousands in both in-water and ex situ (land-based) coral nurseries, the latter being unexplored in Costa Rica, despite their potential benefits as a reef management tool. 

Objective: To analyze the viability of ex situ culturing of the Pacific reef-building corals Porites lobata and Pocillopora damicornis at Parque Marino del Pacífico (PMP), Puntarenas, Costa Rica, aquaculture facilities. Methods: From May to October 2018 a total of 180 coral fragments were kept in an aquaculture recirculated system. Survival, growth, and fragment yield in relation to culture medium (physicochemical parameters) were recorded. 

Results: Survival and growth rate varied between species and culture tanks. On average, surviving P. lobata fragments (68.89 %) placed in Tank 1 (T1) grew 216 %, while fragments placed in Tank 2 (T2) had a survival rate of 71.11 % and an increase of 277 % in live tissue area.  P. damicornis fragments survival, basal and crown area percentage increase were: 71.11 %, 980 % and 366 % in T1, and 100 %, 976 % and 287 % in T2. Although fragments survival and growth were net positive, the yield in terms of culture was low, due to culture conditions in the tanks not meeting coral culture optimal requirements. 

Conclusions: Survival and growth of both species varied depending on the tank in which they were placed. Survival was similar to that found in other ex situ studies and growth was similar to those reported in the wild, however culture performance in terms of yield was low. Aquaculture systems at PMP constitute a good base for the cultivation of corals, however for the culture effort to achieve maximum yield, current systems must be optimized according to the requirements of the target coral species.

Published: May 2023

Cytochrome P450 (CYP) oxidases are among the main metabolizing enzymes that are responsible for the transformation of xenobiotics, including clinically important drugs. Their activity can be influenced by several compounds leading to decreased efficacy or increased toxicity of co-administered medicines. Flavonoids exert various beneficial effects on human and animal health; therefore they are used as food and feed supplements. However, they are also well-known for their CYP modulating potential. Since the amount of CYP enzymes is highest in the liver, interaction studies are mainly conducted in hepatocytes, however, CYP activity in the gastrointestinal tract is also remarkable. In this study, effects of apigenin (API), quercetin (QUE) and their methylated derivatives trimethylapigenin (TM-API), 3-O-methylquercetin (3M-QUE) and 3′,7-di-O-methylquercetin (3′7DM-QUE) on the CYP enzyme activity was examined in IPEC-J2 porcine intestinal epithelial cells. Potential food-drug interactions were studied using flavonoid treatment in combination with inducer and inhibitor compounds. API, TM-API, QUE and 3M-QUE significantly inhibited the CYP3A29 enzyme, while 3′7DM-QUE did not alter its activity. Enzyme inhibition has also been observed in case of some food-drug combinations. Our results support previous findings about CYP modulating effects of flavonoids and highlights the possibility of interactions when flavonoid-containing supplements are consumed during drug treatments.
Halal Tourism Based on Islamic Economy Perspective of Hadith
Authors: Budiman Fathan , Mukhtar Naqiyah
Published: May 2023

This research is motivated by the tendency of a literal understanding of hadith texts regarding halal tourism based on shari’a economics. This study aims to analyze and describe the hadith texts that form the basis for the concept of halal tourism. Using a literature review as the method, a qualitative approach will be employed to achieve this, with content analysis as the interpretation method utilized in this research. The study results indicate that the application of the hadith text requires contextualization to avoid limiting the concept of universal halal tourism with a shari’a label, particularly about shari’a economic imperatives. This study also shows that Indonesia is a conducive country, thanks to its moderate understanding that links Islamic texts with universal and local values, making it an ideal center for global halal tourist destinations. It is important to note that halal tourism is based on three fundamental principles: good intentions as the primary foundation, good service as a spirit, and wise spending (thrifty) as the primary value.

Repair of a minor bridge in the state of failure with an atypical design using prestressed bridge meshes and bitumen slurry
Authors: Kochetkov Andrey , Kamenskikh Alexander , Shashkov Igor
Published: May 2023

This article discusses methodological approaches to the repair and maintenance of minor bridges with the atypical design that are in the state of failure, that doesn’t have design documentation, as well as regulatory and methodological documents for the maintenance work organization and technology. Such bridges, although in small numbers, are present on territorial and municipal road networks, for example, in the Orenburg region.

The bridge floor turned out to be hydrophobic. Precipitation cannot penetrate under the asphalt concrete layer due to the loosened bitumen presence, meanwhile, the water that was under the asphalt concrete layer during the summer month came out through the asphalt concrete layer pores through pore pressure. A month after the emergency repair work, under the influence of high summer temperature and mechanical load from passing vehicles, the consolidation processes associated with the evaporation of water were completed, and the loosened bitumen turned into a film state. In the limit of a cold wet asphalt mix based on dispersed viscous bitumen, the conventional hot asphalt concretes properties are achieved.

Setting smooth, durable, and waterproof coating allows for minimizing the passing traffic dynamic effects, significantly slowing down the destructive processes in the bridge’s bearing elements. For the first time, a minor bridge in the state of failure with an atypical design was repaired by grouting the soil ground around the bridge supports with a liquefied bitumen slurry to a 0.5 m depth, which made it possible to ensure its equal strength. At the same time, the dispersion degree for this project was 1–10 microns due to the bituminous slurry preparation specifics.

New is the setting of a hydrophobic double-layered bridge floor without a waterproofing layer from a cold wet asphalt concrete mixture based on dispersed viscous bitumen and the use of a bridge mesh. The possibility of using bitumen-cement-concrete nonshrinking mixtures in the repair of the bridge masonry is shown.

The bridge floor geometry was selected for the shockless mode of the existing traffic flow, with the account of the velocity squared of traffic, the bridge floor height, the sum of curvature radii, and the vehicle wheel.

The possibility of using bitumen-cement-concrete non-shrinking mixtures in the repair of the masonry of a bridge structure is shown.

A new result is also the reinforcing system construction for a bridge floor made of cold wet asphalt concrete based on prestressing of a metal bridge mesh that is flexible with tension in displacement increments.

Yabancı dil öğreniminde yetkinlik, kelime kazanımı ve kelimelerin iletişimsel süreç içerisinde etkin kullanımı ile doğrudan ilgilidir. Kelime serveti, o dilde kendimizi ifade edebilme yetkinliğini belirlemektedir. Öğrenciler, hedef dilde kendilerini ifade etme sürecinde farklı ortam ve bağlamlarda bulunurlar. Daha önce bu ortam ve bağlamlara maruz kalmamışlarsa konuşma ve yazma becerilerinde kendilerini istendik seviyede anlatamadıkları gibi anlama becerilerinin de geliştirilmesi gerektiği görülmektedir. Bu sebeple kelime dağarcığı yetkinliği ve bu dağarcığın farklı ortamlarda iletişim temelli kullanılmış olması önem taşımaktadır. Öğrenci, yeni bir kelime ile karşılaştığında onu anlaması, hatırlayabilmesi, kelimeyi karşısındaki kişiye ve duruma uygun şekilde kullanması için sınıf içerisinde farklı stratejiler içeren etkinlikler kullanılmalıdır. Bu çalışmada, Molinsky ve Bliss’in (1994) kelime öğretiminde kullanılacak iletişimsel aktiviteleri gruplandırdığı 11 farklı kategori, Türkçenin yabancı dil olarak öğretimi sürecinde kullanılmak üzere özgün ya da adapte edilmiş etkinlik örnekleri ile somutlaştırılmıştır. Bu iletişimsel temelli etkinlikler yoluyla Türkçeyi yabancı dil olarak öğrenenlerin; duyuşsal hazırbulunuşluklarının istendik seviyeye çekilerek, duygusal filtrelerinin düşürülüp (Krashen, 1982), algılarını öğrenmeye daha açık hale getirmek ve kazanılan bilgileri daha kalıcı hâle getirmek amaçlanmıştır.

Incidencia de los modelos de densificación en la habitabilidad de la vivienda social colectiva en altura en Medellín”, en la cual se abordó la problemática de la densidad en función de la habitabilidad. En primer lugar se desarrolló un modelo teórico sobre conceptos afines a dicha problemática y, luego, se contextualizó el territorio de análisis, en este caso la ciudad de Medellín, Colombia, y de esta manera se pudieron seleccionar, visitar, analizar y comparar seis casos de estudio, donde se abordan tipologías de vivienda colectiva de uso generalizado y creciente aparición en ciudades cuyo modelo de desarrollo corresponde al de ciudad compacta. El acercamiento se desarrolló a través de tres escalas de estudio que fueron contribuyendo a la aparición del concepto core como aspecto estructurante y relevante para los proyectos analizados y su relación con la habitabilidad y la densidad. En el transcurso de la investigación se evidenció el escaso material publicado sobre la temática, más aún, sinuna comparación entre proyectos en condiciones reales de uso. Lo anterior motivó la publicación del presente libro, primero como una culminación de un proceso académico con varias miradas y matices, y segundo con la intención de difundir y socializar un tema escasamente divulgado, pero complejo y actual, que afecta la manera como se concibe la vivienda, como nos relacionamos con ella y entre nosotros mismos.

Lessons learned from implementing a surge capacity support program for COVID-19 contact management in Ontario
Authors: Chambers Andrea , Quirk Jacquelyn , MacIntyre Elaina A. , Bodkin Andrea , Hanson Heather
Published: May 2023

Setting

In Ontario, local public health units (PHUs) are responsible for leading case investigations, contact tracing, and follow-up. The workforce capacity and operational requirements needed to maintain this public health strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic were unprecedented.

Intervention

Public Health Ontario’s Contact Tracing Initiative (CTI) was established to provide a centralized workforce. This program was unique in leveraging existing human resources from federal and provincial government agencies and its targeted focus on initial and follow-up phone calls to high-risk close contacts of COVID-19 cases. By setting criteria for submissions to the program, standardizing scripts, and simplifying the data management process, the CTI was able to support a high volume of calls.

Outcomes

During its 23 months of operation, the CTI was used by 33 of the 34 PHUs and supported over a million calls to high-risk close contacts. This initiative was able to meet its objectives while adapting to the changing dynamics of the pandemic and the implementation of a new COVID-19 provincial information system. Core strengths of the CTI were timeliness, volume, and efficient use of resources. The CTI was found to be useful for school exposures, providing support when public health measures were lifted, and in supporting PHU’s reallocation of resources during the vaccine roll-out.

Implications

When considering future use of this model, it is important to take note of the program strengths and limitations to ensure alignment with future needs for surge capacity support. Lessons learned from this initiative could provide practice-relevant knowledge for surge capacity planning.
Usos y funciones de los signos de puntuación en los Diez mandamientos (s. XIII)
Authors: Las Heras Calvo Miguel
Published: May 2023

Este trabajo tiene por objetivo analizar el empleo de los signos de puntuación del texto de los Diez mandamientos (s. xiii), adscrito a la prosa didáctica medieval. La atención que ha recibido este texto por parte de los investigadores ha sido escasa; así que tras 30 años de su última edición (Franchini 1992a), retomamos este texto para poner de relieve su importancia en el ámbito de la puntuación medieval. Este estudio permitirá comprobar si sus usos se corresponden con lo que los investigadores han llamado «puntuación sintáctica» y observar cuáles son sus particularidades. Para ello se realizará un estudio sistemático de las unidades sintácticas más relevantes del texto en relación con los signos de puntuación que se emplean con ellas (punto medio [·] y guion [-]), así como con su ausencia (Ø).
«Y en este monte y líquida laguna»: paisaje, alegoría y mecenazgo en el soneto 10 de las Rimas humanas y divinas del Licenciado Tomé de Burguillos de Lope de Vega
Authors: Lorenzo Javier
Published: May 2023

Este trabajo investiga la relación entre poesía y paisaje en el soneto 10 de las Rimas humanas y divinas del licenciado Tomé de Burguillos (1634) de Lope de Vega, poemario en el que el cuestionamiento constante de las convenciones poéticas sitúa al lector ante escenarios en los que la naturaleza pasa a ocupar el primer plano de la atención poética. El escenario que Lope describe en el soneto 10 de las Rimas utiliza el paisaje como vehículo alegórico para expresar las frustraciones sociales y profesionales que la falta de mecenazgo ocasiona al poeta. La vinculación alegórica del paisaje con estas preocupaciones sitúa a las Rimas de Burguillos en lo que el teórico del paisaje W. J. T. Mitchell denomina un ‘momento preemancipatorio’ en la historia de la representación del mundo natural, es decir, en un estadio intermedio entre la interpretación simbólica y la objetivación estética de la naturaleza.
Americanized Hispanic terms and their vitality in the work of a 17th century Creole: Agustin de Vetancurt
Authors: Mederos-Cedrés Anabel , Cáceres-Lorenzo M. Teresa
Published: May 2023

In the texts written in Latin America during the 17th century, there is evidence of Hispanic terms already Americanized by changes of meaning, according to Kany (1962). This study analyzes Chronica de la Provincia del Santo Evangelio de Mexico (1697) by the Mexican Creole Agustín de Vetancurt (1620-1700) in order to present data on this process of Americanization. The methodology employed in the analysis of the Americanized terms is both quantitative and qualitative. Once the Americanized Hispanicism is detected, the vitality of its use is analyzed in comparison with other texts dating from between 1650 and 1700 recorded in the Corpus Diacrónico del Español (CORDE). The results show that the 21 Hispanicisms found have different degrees of Americanization.
The Abyss of Meaning: Disenchantment in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart
Authors: Poorghorban Younes
Published: May 2023

Achebe’s magnum opus, Things Fall Apart, circles around a Nigerian community and the life of the Ibo people. It illustrates the life of local people before and after the British colonisation. The novel gives an account of Okonkwo’s life as a highly valued member of an Ibo clan, during the colonisation period. In this article, I intend to argue that the life of this clan was enchanted before colonisation. Later, I seek to elaborate on how this enchanted life is affected by Western civilisation and Christianity and how these elements disenchanted the Ibo people’s worldview. The liveliness of matter for Ibo people and the immateriality of objects for Christians contributed to two opposing ontologies. While Western ontology seeks to define, limit, and measure everything, the Ibo tradition gives space to the elements of magic, wonder, and fear. The sheer forces of Western rationality and Christianity served as potent elements that drained the Ibo culture of meaning. Furthermore, I posit that the emergence of Western tradition within Ibo culture caused Okonkwo’s suicide and identity crises.
Märchenfantasie in der Berliner gegenwart: Christian Petzolds Filmadaption Undine (2020)
Authors: Gutiérrez Koester Isabel
Published: May 2023

2020 erschien der deutsch-französische Spielfilm von Christian Petzold Undine, in dem der Regisseur den Mythos der betrogenen Wasserfrau ins alltägliche Leben des modernen Berlins verlegt. Der Film ist der erste Teil einer von Petzold geplanten Trilogie über Figuren der deutschen Romantik, die die Elementargeister unserer Wirklichkeit näherbringen soll. Das Ergebnis ist ein poetisches Kinomärchen, in dem sich die Hauptcharaktere zwischen zwei Welten bewegen: nicht nur unter Wasser und auf dem Land, sondern auch zwischen Realität und Fantasie, zwischen Gegenwart und Vergangenheit. Petzold zeigt, dass der Mythos der Undine ahistorisch ist und dazu verdammt ist, sich immer neu zu wiederholen. Seine Adaption weicht jedoch entscheidend von den literarischen Vorbildern ab und offenbart damit nicht nur eine entschlossene Umgestaltung des Mythos, sondern verwischt durch seine eigentümliche Ästhetik, die in den Grundlagen der Berliner Schule verankert ist, den schmalen Grat zwischen Realität und Fantasie.
La Virginie de Jean de Mairet y el desarrollo de la tragi-comédie en Francia en el siglo XVII
Authors: Aguilar Camacho María del Carmen
Published: May 2023

Este trabajo se ocupa del término tragi-comédie en las primeras décadas del siglo XVII en Francia, años en los que se fijarán las leyes del género: un tema novelesco y sentimental, un final feliz, la mezcla de lo trágico y lo familiar. Se aborda luego la figura de Jean Mairet, autor de seis tragicomedias entre su producción teatral de 1625 a 1643: Chryséide et Arimand, La Virginie, L’Illustre Corsaire, Le Roland furieux, L’Athénaïs y La Sidonie. Mairet reinaría en la escena francesa en el tercer decenio del siglo XVII, eclipsado luego únicamente por Pierre Corneille. De sus tragicomedias, La Virginia es una de las que no está basada en ficción alguna, siendo de total invención del autor, que se sirve del lenguaje para diferenciar a unos personajes de otros, ya sea aquel elevado y noble, melancólico o apesadumbrado, o insidioso y malintencionado.
Contestar al racismo. Apuntes desde una crítica inmanente
Authors: Lance Porfilio Arturo , Ludwig Lino Alexis , Herzog Benno
Published: May 2023

El racismo como fenómeno social, como forma de odio, como ideología y como práctica ha estado durante mucho tiempo en el centro de los estudios sociológicos. El estudio del racismo, de sus lógicas, semánticas, distintas articulaciones, así como de sus bases material y simbólica ha interesado a los científicos sociales durante décadas, pero en todo ese tiempo ha habido una clara ausencia de estudios sobre como contestar eficazmente al racismo. Basándonos en estudios sobre racismo, estudios críticos del discurso y Teoría Crítica, hemos llevado a cabo un análisis empírico-teórico de 149 herramientas de contestación al discurso de odio racista. Partiendo de una crítica inmanente del racismo, presentamos siete lecciones básicas que las herramientas de contestación al discurso de odio racista habrían de cumplir idealmente, para una contestación eficaz al discurso de odio racista.
