Música de vanguardia en la prensa cultural española: los casos de La Estafeta Literaria y Aulas. Educación y Cultura
Authors: Moro Vallina Daniel
Published: December 2019

A finales de la década de 1950, entidades culturales como el Aula de Música del Ateneo de Madrid o el Servicio Nacional de Educación y Cultura comenzaron a prestar especial atención a la música de vanguardia. A través de una línea de actuación compartida, estas y otras instituciones contribuyeron a legitimar a los jóvenes compositores españoles —la Generación del 51— situándolos en línea con las últimas tendencias de la música europea. En el contexto del desarrollismo franquista, esta promoción respondió a un interés estratégico más amplio a la hora de ofrecer una visión de España como sinónimo de modernidad, subrayando la calidad técnica y formal de las obras y minimizando sus posibles aspectos ideológicos. En el presente artículo abordamos el estudio del discurso construido en torno a la vanguardia por parte de dichos compositores y de la crítica musical, centrándonos en dos publicaciones oficiales vinculadas a las citadas instituciones: La Estafeta Literaria y Aulas. Educación y Cultura.
Tino Casal y la modernización del pop español en los años ochenta
Authors: Arenillas Meléndez Sara , Díaz González Diana
Published: December 2019

Tino Casal (1950-1991) es una referencia de la música popular urbana española de la década de 1980 y uno de los que mejor adaptó la modernidad posmoderna de la new wave al contexto español. Casal articuló el discurso de la new wave a través de los new romantics, que recogían elementos del glam como el artificio o la androginia. En su trabajo, Casal combinó, siguiendo a sus homólogos extranjeros, la artificialidad y la auténtica inautenticidad del synth pop, con la práctica del pastiche y el uso consciente del kitsch. Siguiendo la cronología de sus discos, en este artículo analizamos cómo Casal construyó este discurso a través del análisis de canciones clave como “Embrujada”, “Oro negro”, “African chic” o su versión de “Life on Mars?”.
Las artes liberales y el Mixing Methods: buenas razones para formar ciudadanos y pobres peregrinos como hombres libres
Authors: Andrés-Gallego José
Published: December 2019

Mixing methods es una innovadora propuesta metodológica que se ha ido extendiendo en las ciencias sociales desde las últimas décadas del siglo XX. Al leer la bibliografía sobre ella, se observa el aspecto que justifica este estudio: los autores de contribuciones teóricas sobre “mixed methods” reconocen que es una práctica conocida ya hace siglos. Algunos de ellos han reexaminado incluso la historia entera del método científico para hallar precedentes; pero sólo han resaltado casos individuales y de orden teórico. En este estudio, se añade la proyección práctica de esa y otras teorías metodológicas sobre la formación de los jóvenes desde la Grecia clásica. Mi hipótesis es que las artes liberales fueron el plan de estudios básico en Occidente -y en las regiones occidentalizadas- durante más de un milenio precisamente porque su conocimiento implicaba mezclar métodos. Como contrapartida, comprender las artes liberales a la luz de la “mezcla de métodos” contribuye a poner de relieve nuevos aspectos de la importancia histórica de aquel plan de estudios. Estudio sus bases teóricas desde Cicerón hasta Alcuino. Más importante para futuras investigaciones es la correspondencia que afirmó el propio Alcuino entre artes liberales y dones del Espíritu Santo y la posibilidad de extenderla -esa correspondencia- a los hábitos dianoéticos de Aristóteles por un lado y a las ciencias humanas y sociales articuladas por Dilthey en el siglo XX.
How experts understand the public in vaccination controversies in Chile
Authors: Rocamora Villena Verónica , Jara Reyes René , Broitman Rojas Claudio
Published: December 2019

The socio-scientific controversies regarding vaccination that have emerged in Chile in recent years have exposed new tensions between experts and citizens. Numerous research studies about these controversies have focused on analyzing the viewpoints of citizens who oppose vaccination, but have overlooked other relevant actors, such as the experts. Based on a qualitative approach, this article analyzes the discourse, strategies and communication practices of health experts, in order to understand their standpoint in relation to citizens who oppose vaccination. The research shows that in spite of unanimous agreement about the relevance of vaccination as a preventive policy, expert positions about these citizens differ. This is reflected in different Public Communication of Science and Technology models, with a clear prevalence of the deficit model.
Estimación de la temperatura basal del “Glaciar Norte” del volcán Citlaltépetl, México. Modelo para determinar la presencia de permafrost subglaciar
Authors: Soto Molina Víctor Hugo , Delgado Granados Hugo , Ontiveros González Guillermo
Published: December 2019

Se estudian las condiciones de temperatura y la conductividad del hielo del “Glaciar Norte” del volcán Citlaltépetl con el objeto de determinar la existencia de permafrost basal. A partir de registros de temperatura cercanos a la superficie se estimó la temperatura media en estado estacionario del interior del “Glaciar Norte” mediante un método sinusoidal que utiliza las propiedades termo-conductoras del hielo. A través de su perfil de temperatura se obtuvo una aproximación a las condiciones térmicas del principal glaciar de México. Los resultados podrían sugerir la existencia de un permafrost basal, el cual sería producto del aislamiento del hielo y de la conducción térmica por contacto directo entre el hielo y el substrato.
Representación cartográfica de los asentamientos humanos en los mapas de Andalucía de los siglos XVI-XVIII
Authors: Posada Simeón José Carlos
Published: December 2019

Entre los símbolos cartográficos más utilizados a lo largo de la historia destacan los que representan los asentamientos humanos. Se plantea en este estudio analizar estos elementos en los mapas de la Edad Moderna a una escala regional y que tenga como territorio a Andalucía. Se establece una tipología de signos basada en cinco atributos: complejidad (realista – esquemático), puntos de vista (alzado – planta), composición (figurativo – geométrico), naturaleza del mapa (administración civil, administración eclesiástica y náutica) y la jerarquía de los signos (esquematización y abstracción).
La carta de Sisebuto a Adaloaldo y Teodolinda: el reino arriano en la perspectiva de un rey visigodo del siglo VII
Authors: Dinarès Oriol
Published: December 2019

Entre las diversas epístolas de carácter diplomático que se conservan del rey Sisebuto de los visigodos (612-621), destaca, por su contenido y extensión, una dirigida a los reyes longobardos Adaloaldo y Teodolinda, en la que les insta a convertir al catolicismo a la gens Langobardorum. A través de ella podemos comprender el discurso oficial de la monarquía visigoda respecto a su pasado arriano, tanto en el marco político como en el religioso, y observar las coincidencias entre este discurso y el que desarrolla la jerarquía eclesiástica hispana a partir del III Concilio de Toledo (589), que sienta las bases ideológicas de lo que se ha dado en llamar el «reino católico de Toledo».
El Necrologio del padre Teixidor: dispersión y reubicación del patrimonio bibliográfico de los dominicos valencianos durante los siglos XIX y XX
Authors: Muñoz Feliu Miguel C.
Published: December 2019

Se estudian los avatares sufridos por el patrimonio bibliográfico de los dominicos valencianos durante los siglos XIX y XX a partir del seguimiento de cada uno de los cuatro volúmenes manuscritos del Necrologio del padre Teixidor: su primitiva ubicación en la librería del convento de Predicadores de Valencia, su traslado a las Baleares en la época napoleónica, su diverso destino en el periodo desamortizador, el retorno de varios volúmenes a manos de los religiosos tras la Restauración y las nuevas incautaciones y reubicaciones producidas durante y después de la guerra civil española.

Published: December 2019

In the context of a transforming school of the 21st century and in the context of the digital transformation of the economy and education globally, the digital competence of pedagogical specialists is crucial for the implementation of the new professional roles of the teacher in response to the ever-increasing requirements for it. This article examines the framework of teachers’ digital competency by specifying the main competencies that guarantee their full practical experience. The empirical study presents a self-assessment of the digital competence of future pedagogical specialists trained in the professional field of pedagogy, as well as highlights from their real possibilities of solving specific practical tasks based on the application of information and communication technologies. Some recommendations have been made to rethink the education of future pedagogical specialists and the professional qualification of current teachers in the context of the formation and development of their digital competence.
The Javanese Letters Classifier with Mobile Client-Server Architecture and Convolution Neural Network Method
Authors: Harjoseputro Yulius , Handarkho Yonathan Dri , Adie Heronimus Tresy Renata
Published: December 2019

the rapid development of mobile technologies allows platform devices to perform sophisticated tasks, including character recognition. These identification systems are notable techniques that required high computation cost, in order to achieve acceptable accuracy resulting from diversity in alphabet shape and method of writing, especially for the non-Latin alphabet, e.g., Javanese letter. In addition, numerous studies have attempted to address these issues by employing a Convolution Neural Network (CNN) due to its ability to provide high accuracy in character detection. However, the performance on mobile devices is possibly faced with problems resulting from the limitation of computation resource on the platform that also affect computation cost. This study, therefore, proposes a 2-tier architecture by placing the mobile app as a client that invokes a Javanese letters classifier service, which is based on CNN, and implemented in the web-server through the Application Program Interface (API). The results show that the letter classification was successfully implemented in a mobile platform, with an accuracy rate of 86.68%, utilizing training for 50 epochs, and an average time of 1935 ms.
The double burden of malnutrition among adults in India: evidence from the National Family Health Survey-4 (2015-16)
Authors: Dutta Mili , Selvamani Y , Singh Pushpendra , Prashad Lokender
Published: December 2019

OBJECTIVES: India still faces the burden of undernutrition and communicable diseases, and the prevalence of overweight/obesity is steadily increasing. The discourse regarding the dual burden of underweight and overweight/obesity has not yet been widely explored in both men and women. The present study assessed the determinants of underweight and overweight/obesity in India among adult men and women aged 15-49.METHODS: Population-based cross-sectional and nationally representative data from the National Family Health Survey-4 (2015-16), consisting of a sample of men and women, were analyzed. Stratified 2-stage sampling was used in the NFHS-4 study protocol. In the present study, bivariate and adjusted multinomial logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the correlates of underweight and overweight/obesity.RESULTS: The results suggested a persistently high prevalence of underweight coexisting with an increased prevalence of overweight/obesity in India. The risk of underweight was highest in the central and western regions and was also relatively high among those who used either smoking or smokeless tobacco. Overweight/obesity was more prevalent in urban areas, in the southern region, and among adults aged 35-49. Furthermore, level of education and wealth index were positively associated with overweight/obesity. More educated and wealthier adults were less likely to be underweight.CONCLUSIONS: In India, underweight has been prevalent, and the prevalence of overweight/obesity is increasing rapidly, particularly among men. The dual burden of underweight and overweight/obesity is alarming and needs to be considered; public health measures to address this situation must also be adopted through policy initiatives.
Slovenes and Friuli as the Other in Hemingway
Authors: Johnston Rebecca
Published: December 2019

Ernest Hemingway was known for writing with the “Iceberg Theory” in mind. Thus, there are deeper meanings and contexts moving beneath the surface of his works. His war novel A Farewell to Arms takes place along the Soča/Isonzo Front both before and after the Battle of Kobarid/Caporetto and in this setting, consistent with his “Iceberg Theory,” Hemingway has placed both characters and settings that deserve a reconsideration below the surface. While the Italians in the novel are on the surface of the story and thus more easily recognizable, it is the Slovenes and Friuli who run under the surface and carry a deeper meaning. Slovenes and Friuli are not named directly, but as Hemingway was historically accurate in the novel, both ethnic groups are placed along the Front and collectively they represent the “other” in Hemingway’s novels, both unseen and integral to the storyline.

Abstract. The new platforms for Earth observation from space are characterized by measurements made with great spatial and temporal resolution. While this abundance of information makes it possible to detect and study localized phenomena, on the other hand it may be difficult to manage this large amount of data in the study of global and large scale phenomena. A particularly significant example is the use by assimilation systems of level 2 products that represent gas profiles in the atmosphere. The models on which assimilation systems are based are discretized on spatial grids with horizontal dimensions of the order of tens of kilometres in which tens or hundreds of measurements may fall. A simple procedure to overcome this problem is to extract a subset of the original measurements. However, this procedure involves a loss of information and is therefore justifiable only as a temporary solution. A more refined solution is to resort to the so-called fusion algorithms, capable of compressing the size of the dataset limiting the information loss. A novel data fusion method, the Complete Data Fusion, was recently developed to merge a-posteriori a set of retrieved products in a single one. In the present paper, the Complete Data Fusion method is applied to ozone profile measurements simulated in the thermal infrared and ultraviolet bands, in a realistic scenario, according to the specifications of the Sentinel 4 and 5 missions of the Copernicus programme. Then the fused products are compared with the input profiles; comparisons show that the output products of data fusion have in general smaller errors and higher information contents. The most significant improvement is an increased vertical resolution together with a reduction of the errors. The comparisons of the fused with the fusing products are presented both at single fusion grid-box scale and with a statistical analysis. The grid box size impact was also evaluated, showing that the Complete Data Fusion method can be used with a wide range of grid-box size, the quality of the products improving with larger grid boxes.
Mesoscale atmospheric circulation controls of local meteorological elevation gradients on Kersten Glacier near Kilimanjaro summit

Published: December 2019

Abstract. Elevation gradients of meteorological variables in mountains are of interest to a number of scientific disciplines and often required as parameters in modeling frameworks. Measurements of such gradients on glaciers, however, are particularly scarce and strongly skewed towards the mid latitudes and valley glaciers. This article adds a tropical perspective and presents four years of overlapping measurements at 5603 m and 5873 m on Kersten Glacier, Kilimanjaro (East Africa), between 2009 and 2013. Mean gradients in near-surface air temperature (T), water vapor pressure (VP) and snow accumulation (ACC) per 100 m elevation are −0.75 °C, −0.16 hPa and −114 ± 16 mm w.e. per year, respectively. An intriguing feature is a strong diurnal cycle of the T and VP gradients, which are (depending on season) 2–4 times larger between early and late morning than in the hours of weak gradients. The ACC decrease with elevation, furthermore, is mostly the result of a lower frequency of ACC events at the upper measurement site and not due to contrasting amounts at the two altitudes during events. A novel facet of our study is to link the measured on-glacier gradients to a high-resolution atmospheric modeling data set, which reveals the importance of the mesoscale atmospheric circulation. A thermally direct circulation is established over the mountain in response to diabatic surface heating/cooling with upslope flow during the day and downslope flow in the night. This persistent circulation communicates heat and moisture changes in the lowlands to the higher elevations during morning and early afternoon, which is evident in the advection patterns of potential temperature and VP, and shapes the time-variability of gradients as recorded by our weather stations on the glacier. A few local processes seem to matter as well (glacier sublimation, turbulent heat fluxes), yet they show a secondary influence only during limited time windows. Atmospheric model data also demonstrate that declining moist entropy and water vapor fluxes in the summit zone favor formation of the negative ACC gradient. The results extend the empirical basis of elevation gradients in high mountains, and in particular over glacier surfaces, by the unusual case of a slope glacier on an equatorial, free-standing massif. Our measurement/model link, moreover, demonstrates an approach for future studies to put observations of elevation gradients more systematically in a multiscale process context.

Abstract. The on-going glacier shrinkage in the Alps requires frequent updates of glacier outlines to provide an accurate database for monitoring or modeling purposes (e.g. determination of run-off, mass balance, or future glacier extent) and other applications. With the launch of the first Sentinel-2 (S2) satellite in 2015, it became possible to create a consistent, Alpine-wide glacier inventory with an unprecedented spatial resolution of 10 m. Fortunately, already the first S2 images acquired in August 2015 provided excellent mapping conditions for most of the glacierised regions in the Alps. We have used this opportunity to compile a new Alpine-wide glacier inventory in a collaborative team effort. In all countries, glacier outlines from the latest national inventories have been used as a guide to compile a consistent update. However, cloud cover over many glaciers in Italy required including also S2 scenes from 2016. Whereas the automated mapping of clean glacier ice was straightforward using the band ratio method, the numerous debris-covered glaciers required in-tense manual editing. The uncertainty in the outlines was determined with a multiple digitising experiment of 14 glaciers by all participants. Topographic information for all glaciers was derived from the ALOS AW3D30 DEM. Overall, we derived a total glacier area of 1806 ± 60 km2 when considering 4394 glaciers > 0.01 km2. This is 14 % (−1.2 %/a) less than the 2100 km2 derived from Landsat scenes acquired in 2003 and indicating an unabated continuation of glacier shrinkage in the Alps since the mid-1980s. Due to the higher spatial resolution of S2 many small glaciers were additionally mapped in the new inventory or increased in size compared to 2003. An artificial reduction to the former extents would thus result in an even higher overall area loss. Still, the uncertainty assessment revealed locally considerable differences in interpretation of debris-covered glaciers, resulting in limitations for change assessment when using glacier extents digitised by different analysts. The inventory is available at: https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.909133 (Paul et al., 2019).
Observations of Sea Ice Melt from Operation IceBridge Imagery
Authors: Wright Nicholas C. , Polashenski Chris M. , McMichael Scott T. , Beyer Ross A.
Published: December 2019

Abstract. The summer albedo of Arctic sea ice is heavily dependent on the fraction and color of melt ponds that form on the ice surface. This work presents a new dataset of sea ice surface fractions along Operation IceBridge (OIB) flight tracks derived from the Digital Mapping System optical imagery set. This dataset was created by deploying version 2 of the Open Source Sea-ice Processing (OSSP) algorithm to NASA’s Advanced Supercomputing Pleiades System. These new surface fraction results are then analyzed to investigate the behavior of meltwater on first-year ice in comparison to multiyear ice. Observations herein show that first-year ice does not ubiquitously have a higher melt pond fraction than multiyear ice under the same forcing conditions, contrary to established knowledge in the sea ice community. We discover and document a larger possible spread of pond fractions on first year ice leading to both high and low pond coverage, in contrast to the uniform melt evolution that has been previously observed on multiyear ice floes. We also present a selection of optical images that captures both the typical and atypical ice types, as observed from the OIB dataset. We hope to demonstrate the power of this new dataset and to encourage future collaborative efforts to utilize the OIB data to explore the behavior of melt pond formation Arctic sea ice.
A room of one’s own: Museos que dedican alguna sala al reflejo/reflexión crítica de su historia
Authors: Lorente Lorente Jesús Pedro
Published: December 2019

Cada vez más museos exhiben no solo sus contenidos sino también a sí mismos, de manera que los visitantes sean conscientes de las labores y designios curatoriales. Una reflexión y auto-reflejo que pone énfasis sobre cuestiones relativas a la propia identidad histórica, a veces mediante souvenirs y montajes historicistas, pero cada vez más consagrando un espacio específico a la autobiografía institucional. “Prado 200” será un paso más, siguiendo ejemplos cercanos, en sintonía con las actuales tendencias museológicas mundiales.
Hacia la creación de un Museo en la Universidad. La colección de Arte Contemporáneo de la Universidad del País Vasco UPV/EHU
Authors: Porcel Ziarsolo Alazne , Artetxe Sánchez Enara
Published: December 2019

Los cambios acontecidos durante el siglo XXI en torno a los modos de creación y presentación del arte contemporáneo y su musealización son evidentes en la actualidad y de ellos da constancia el replanteamiento sobre el concepto de museo con la inclusión de tipologías y colecciones de carácter universitario como la que aquí se presenta. La colección de patrimonio artístico de la Universidad del País Vasco UPV/EHU está compuesta por obras recopiladas durante las últimas tres décadas, que al igual que otras colecciones universitarias, ha ido creándose principalmente mediante compra, donaciones y especialmente gracias a certámenes para su adquisición. A pesar de estar formada por importantes obras de arte representativas del desarrollo y producción del arte vasco de las últimas décadas, no ha logrado constituirse del todo como un conjunto patrimonial que cumpla con todas las funciones que definen al museo ni visibilizar adecuadamente su importancia. Con la presente revisión, se pretende recuperar la identidad y la historia de esta colección universitaria con el objetivo final de conservar y dar a conocer esta interesante muestra de arte contemporáneo, estrechamente vinculada la Facultad de Bellas Artes de la Universidad del País Vasco.

Regards sur l’image dans l’écriture de Maryse Condé
Authors: Pagán López Antonia
Published: December 2019

La escritura de Maryse Condé, que explora  el pasado esclavista, la identidad femenina y la memoria, mantiene un diálogo fecundo con la imagen pictórica. En su aprehensión de la naturaleza, la escritora desliza una mirada pictórica sobre el mundo. El mito insular nutre un imaginario fuertemente feminizado en el que la mujer, madre o amante, se identifica con la tierra y el mar. Las protagonistas, indómitas como el océano, luchan en su recorrido identitario contra los obstáculos de un destino impuesto.

La imagen, que emerge  de las profundidades del subconsciente, ejerce una función salvadora en la figura del artista, confuso en la construcción de su identidad. Al valor catártico del arte se suma la felicidad de la procreación, experimentada por ciertas heroínas en el acto creador. Las referencias pictóricas recuperan las imágenes de una historia individual, anclada en la insularidad del Caribe y en el África ancestral. Por encima de las creencias de los personajes prevalece el lenguaje universal del arte.

Published: December 2019

El objetivo del presente estudio es analizar, desde un punto de vista semántico-pragmático, algunas técnicas de traducción que se aplican para resolver en las traducciones la imprecisión semántica de los estereotipos léxicos del francés contemporáneo. A partir de un estudio de caso donde se examinan las apariciones de la unidad léxica dérive y sus traducciones al español en un corpus de textos especializados, se ilustran las posibles respuestas de los traductores en el momento de concretar en el texto meta la extensión semántica de una unidad léxica como dérive, susceptible de prestarse a un amplio abanico de posibilidades interpretativas. Este análisis contrastivo sirve de punto de partida para una reflexión más general sobre la subjetividad del traductor y su grado de intervención en el texto traducido.
Reinventing the fairy tale’s heroine in the novel 'Barbe bleue' of Amélie Nothomb
Authors: Locic Simona
Published: December 2019

In the 20th and the 21st centuries, many writers have shown an interest in rewriting traditional fairy tales. In contemporary literature, fairy tales are thus reinvented, adapted to the historical reality, the vices, the weaknesses and the imperfections of contemporary human beings. This study analyses the reinvention of the fairy tale’s heroine in Barbe bleue, by French writer Amélie Nothomb, and published in 2012. This study will show how the rewriting of this millenary text questions the schematic and stereotyped relations between characters in traditional fairy tales.
The Dizzying Journey of the Communist Jewish Activist, Rachel Eckstein. When Reality Transcends Fiction
Authors: Bénit André
Published: December 2019

In 2004, in collaboration with the physicist Edgar Gunzig, Élisa Brune published a ‘novel’ entitled Relations d’incertitude (Relations of Uncertainty), a central notion in quantum theory, but which has an obvious symbolic and metaphorical dimension in Brune’s work. The initial project was to write a scientific treatise accessible to the public on the research carried out by Professor Gunzig around the fluctuations of the quantum vacuum as the mechanism at the origins of the universe as well as on the elaboration of the bootstrap model. However, the text soon becomes an examination of the human itinerary of Gunzig, inseparable from his professional trajectory. From the data presented in Relations d’incertitude and other historical documents, my aim is to retrace one of the essential parameters in Gunzig’s life, namely the exceptional trajectory of his mother, Rachel Eckstein, one in which reality often exceeds fiction.
Fostering EFL Learners’ Grammar Achievement Using Recasts and Meta-linguistic Awareness Error Correction Feedbacks
Authors: Barzang Elham
Published: December 2019

The current study examines the effect of recasts and meta-linguistic error correction feedbacks and changes in EFL learners' English language grammar achievement. The participants were fifty (25 in each group) intermediate-level EFL learners at an English language institute. This quantitative experimental study was implemented on the basis of pre-test-post-test equivalent-group design. After administrating the CPT, 50 students (based on the Cambridge Assessment Criteria) who were randomly and equally assigned to recast and meta-linguistic awareness group (25students in each group) were selected as the sample of this study.The data were collected through classroom grammar test (pre- and post-tests). Both groups promoted in terms of grammar achievement, but the findings supported the superiority of grammar development in meta-linguistic group. The results revealed higher scores for explicitly corrected (meta-linguistic awareness) learners than implicitly corrected (recasts) ones. The findings lend support to the argument concerning the role of meta-linguistic awareness in language learning.
Sacred and Profane Space: The Priestly Character of Exodus 20:24–26 and Its Reception in Deuteronomy 12
Authors: Kilchör Benjamin
Published: December 2019

Traditionally, the “altar law” of Exod 20:24–26 has been understood as a law in which God promises to appear in every place where the Israelites build altars. Deuteronomy 12 then has been interpreted as a polemic rejection of this “altar law,” mandating one single place of sacrifice. However, intertextual connections link the so-called altar law of Exod 20:24–26 to the concept of sacred versus profane territory, whereby sacred territory is sanctified by God’s presence. The holy territory of Mt. Sinai, delimited by a line (Exod 19:12), is transferred to the tabernacle as its transportable counterpart, when God enters the tabernacle (Exod 40:35). Such an interpretation also sheds different light on the relationship between Exod 20:24–26 and Deut 12.
Possessing Edom and All the Nations over Whom Yhwh’s Name Is Called: Understanding ירשׁ in Amos 9:12
Authors: Timmer Daniel
Published: December 2019

This article focuses on the description of the eschatological inte-gration of non-Israelite polities in the restored Davidic kingdom in Amos 9:11–12. The text describes this process using both language of “dispossession” (with ירשׁ), evocative of the description of Israel’s initial possession of Canaan by force in the Book of Joshua, and the phrase “over whom [Yhwh’s] name is called,” which refers to Yhwh’s ownership of his covenant people and never involves military conquest. The article seeks to resolve the apparent tension between these two aspects of the process by proposing a sense of ירשׁ that reflects the dynamics of the context in Amos 9 and concludes by correlating Amos 9:11–12 with several related biblical texts in order to sketch its significance for the Book of the Twelve and biblical theology.
Language and Characterization in the Roman Trial Narrative: A Sociolinguistic Analysis of Pilate’s Dialogues with the Jewish Leaders and Jesus in John 18:28–19:16a
Authors: Leung Mavis M.
Published: December 2019

This article aims to understand and explicate how Pilate’s dialogues with the Jewish authorities or Jesus function to portray the governor in the Roman trial narrative in John 18:28–19:16a. The treatment of the participants’ conversations will be conducted on the basis of Michael A. K. Halliday’s model of systemic functional linguistics and particularly the register theory in this model. The most relevant notion of this theory for this study is “tenor,” which is the contextual variable regarding the participants’ role relationships and power differences. This article will also adapt Suzzane Eggins’s and Diana Slade’s integrated method of analyzing the conversation by utilizing both the synoptic and the dynamic approaches. The main thesis of this article is that the characterization of the Johannine Pilate arises through the use of language in dialogue.
Editions of Early Modern Drama Used by T. S. Eliot: A Resource
Authors: Toda Kit Kumiko
Published: December 2019

This article details which editions T. S. Eliot actively used to study Elizabethan and Jacobean drama and provides a rationale for the choice of editions listed. It begins by making a case for the crucial influence that early modern drama had on Eliot's poetry and prose and by offering an overview of existing criticism on the topic. It then outlines three major reasons for the importance of knowing which exact editions Eliot used to read the plays. The article provides a detailed explanation of the methodology used to determine the editions, which involved cross-referencing various sources of information, including Eliot's works and several archival documents, as well as comparing the orthography and punctuation of different editions.
Semantic Categories of Reporting Verbs across Four Disciplines in Research Articles
Authors: Uba Sani Yantandu
Published: December 2019

This paper investigates semantic categories of reporting verbs across four disciplines: Accounting, Applied Linguistics, Engineering and Medicine in research article genre. A general corpus of one million words and sub-corpus (for each discipline) were compiled from a total of 120 articles representing 30 articles from each discipline. In this study, two levels of analysis were conducted. Firstly, I randomly selected five articles from each discipline and read and reread each article identifying what reporting verbs are used, in what context are used and why such reporting verbs are used. This process enabled me to identify semantic categories of reporting verbs. Secondly, on the basis of the identified list of semantic categories of reporting verbs, I used the list in generating concordance output for quantitative textual analysis of each sub-corpus of the four disciplines, as well as the general corpus. The results of the study show that writers from both Accounting and Applied Linguistics are having a high frequency of reporting verbs than writers from Engineering and Medicine disciplines. It also shows that there are certain commonalities and differences between the disciplines. For example, all the disciplines are having frequency of the three semantic categories of reporting verbs but with certain degree of variations. The study recommends raising awareness of students on semantic categories of reporting verbs. The results could also help EAP/ESP teachers in designing course materials for discipline specific reporting verbs. It could also be helpful for textbook course designers in developing textbooks for teaching reporting verbs.

Authors: Hsu Meng-Chueh , Yen Shang-Yung
Published: December 2019

Nonprofit organizations take important roles and functions in our modern society. However, because of the fierce competitions in market and the rapid social changes, nonprofit organizations are facing the same management issues with profit making organizations, such as financial difficulties or lack of resources. In this qualitative research, in order to discuss the issue about nonprofit organization transformation from the prospective of nonprofit management and organization transformation, we interviewed a large nonprofit organization in Taiwan, analyzed the results and provided case studies. We also considered about the social enterprise model to explain the concept between nonprofit organization and social enterprise. In our conclusion, we found that when nonprofit organization transformation took a place and changed the service model into the social enterprise model, the reasons are not limited to the management needs but included to provide the more appropriate services and working approaches. Therefore, the difference between the nonprofit organization and the social enterprise is clarified through this research.
Otras perspectivas en el estudio de la cerámica prehistórica. La aportación de las sociedades vivas
Authors: Rubio de Miguel Isabel
Published: December 2019

La cerámica ha constituido uno de los principales fósiles-guía en prehistoria y arqueología. Habitualmente, su estudio se ha planteado desde una perspectiva evolucionista, considerándola una de las innovaciones que surgen en el devenir de la prehistoria. Sin embargo, su aparición en contextos en los que teóricamente «no debería» hallarse, si nos atenemos a las secuencias tradicionales, ha llevado al rechazo de éstos como casos «anómalos». Se expone aquí la necesidad de revisar dichas situaciones desde un enfoque no evolucionista, ya que, debido principalmente a la etnoarqueología, se han abierto numerosas posibilidades que, entre otras cosas, permiten su reinterpretación.
Антитези і парадокси у поезії. До 110 роковин з дня народження Б. І. Антонича
Authors: Stefanowska Lidia
Published: December 2019

Bohdan Ihor Antonych was one of the most remarkable modernist Ukrainian poets of the twentieth century. He left an extraordinary lite rary legacy with just a handful of books of published poetry despite his premature death at the age of twenty-eight in 1937. He was a poet, literary critic, translator, and journalist. From the outset of his literary career, in the context of western Ukrainian literature, his poetry had a diﬀ erent sound and texture to it. Antonych’s literary interests were unconventional for his milieu: he concerned himself with the metaphysical, philosophical, and metapoetic issues. The power of his accomplishment is that he restored the human need, suppressed by centuries of colonization, for metaphysical, non-political meditation on the meaning of life, eternity and art, rather than -- as it was in a previous Ukrainian literary canon -- in the name of national interests, where literature had to play a didactic role designed to amplify the patriotic feelings of a reader. Antonych mastered the poetic language of antithesis and paradoxes, and by using it he rises from the level of personal experience to that of a universal archetype.
Національна ідентичність як сфера сакрального у творах канадських авторів українського походження
Authors: Шадріна Тетяна
Published: December 2019

The article is devoted to the study of value systems which determine the sacred dimension of the socio-cultural experience of the people. Sacramental is considered not in the religious context, but as the highest value that lies outside the understanding. Sacramental is an indicator of the state of culture. The change in the social environment, ideological orientations (which is inherent to immigrants at one time or another) causes a change in sacred values.
It is proved that, having fallen into an inocultural environment, a person strives to preserve their national identity, which helps to get „rooted” in the new place. It also provides preserving their unique image in the alien socio-cultural environment and guarantees a sense of security, stability, cultural uprooting. In the works of Canadian authors of Ukrainian origin, the sacred space of the individual’s personal existence is determined by the higher spiritual values created by his own people; and hence – is formed due to the sensation of religious representations, the fatherland’s land of Ukraine, the native language, elements of national culture and history, common national myths, historical memory.

This paper presents test results for the steel grade 15HGMV metallurgical purity, microstructure, method of production and effect on the mechanical performance of the input stock material for calibre 227 mm missile motor casings manufactured by cold flow forming. The reference product for the determination of preliminary design criteria of missile casings of the higher calibre were calibre 122 mm missiles manufactured in Poland. The final mechanical properties of the casings are a cumulative effect of quenching and tempering and strain hardening during cold flow forming. The research and industrial practice carried out so far have demonstrated that the production process of a Feniks missile (with a 1.5 mm thick casing wall) requires steel grades of extremely high purity. This steel grade is manufactured by VAD (Vacuum Arc Degassing) melting, followed by ESR (ElectroSlag Remelting) or, alternatively by melting and casting in vacuum oven. The content of hard and non-deformable non-metallic inclusions such as oxides is critical to the success of cold flow forming. The cal. 227 mm missile casings feature walls approximately 2.5 mm thick and produced by cold flow forming from a quenched and tempered intermediate product. New material specifications should be developed for this reason to enable correct cold flow forming and contribute to a significant improvement in the cost efficiency of manufacturing. The investigations covered herein were guided by an assumption that the thicker wall sections might make the material specifications applicable to lower-calibre missiles to restrictive and obsolete about cal. 227 missiles. After initial laboratory tests, this hypothesis will be verified in industrial experiments on the production of prototype missile casings from input stock materials varying in metallurgical purity.

Published: December 2019

The subject of the work discussed herein and carried out as a part of the Polish National Centre of Research and Development project titled ”Development and implementation of critical technology demonstrators for the new generation of 120 mm tank artillery ammunition” are the results of a research into the influence of LPS (Liquid Phase Sintering) parameters and heat treatment on the mechanical properties of W91Ni6Co3 and W91Ni6Co2.25Fe0.75 alloys, designated PR200 and PR201, respectively. The alloys, as LPS-processed and heat treated, were tested on a strength testing machine to determine their tensile strength (Rm), proof stress (Rp0.2) and elongation (A5). The analysis of the test results resulted in a proposal of manufacturing process parameters to have the alloys tested develop specified mechanical properties.
It was found the ternary alloy with chemical composition W91Ni6Co3 and designated PR200 was more promising in the feasibility of producing specified mechanical properties. The alloy, once sintered and heat treated in two stages, could facilitate production of a material with a tensile strength Rm>1400 MPa, a yield strength Rp0.2 > 1350 MPa, a minimum elongation of 11%, and an impact strength > 115 J/cm2.

Spatial differentiation of enterprises with foreign capital versus investment attractiveness of the regions
Authors: Lizińska Wiesława , Zasadzki Paweł
Published: December 2019

The economic development of the regions is determined by well prospering
enterprises functioning in their area, including those with foreign capital. The tendency of foreign investors to starting a business in a given region of the country can be determined by the level of investment attractiveness, which is influenced by a lot of location factors. Therefore, it is important to examine the correlation between the level of investment attractiveness and the level of entrepreneurship in each region. The main purpose of the paper was to diagnose the relationship between the spatial structure of foreign-capital enterprises and the level of investment attractiveness of the regions. The analysis
of interdependencies between variables was conducted for 16 Polish voivodships characterized by diversified level of investment attractiveness and a different number of new registered enterprises with foreign capital in the years 2009-2017.
