Published: April 2020

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine whether a dietary vitamin E (VE) supplement could alleviate any detrimental effects of aged corn on lipid metabolism and antioxidant status in laying hens.Methods: The experiment consisted of a 2×3 factorial design with two corn types (normal corn and aged corn (stored for 4 yr) and three concentrations of VE (0, 20, and 100 IU/kg). A total of 216 Lohmann laying hens (50 wk of age) were randomly allocated into six treatment diets for 12 wk. Each treatment had 6 replicates of 6 hens per replicate.Results: The results show that aged corn significantly decreased the content of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p<0.05), and reduced chemokine-like receptor 1 (CMKLR1) mRNA expression (p<0.05) in the liver compared to controls. Diet with VE did not alter the content of crude fat and cholesterol (p>0.05), or acetyl-CoA carboxylase, lipoprotein lipase, fatty acid synthase or CMKLR1 mRNA expression (p>0.05) in the liver among treatment groups. Aged corn significantly increased the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) (p<0.05) and decreased superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity (p<0.05) in the liver. The VE increased the content of MDA (p<0.05) but decreased glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity in serum (p<0.01) and in the ovaries (p<0.05). Adding VE at 20 and 100 IU/kg significantly increased GSH-Px activity (p<0.05) in liver and in serum (p<0.01), 100 IU/kg VE significantly increased SOD activity (p<0.05) in serum. Aged corn had no significant effects on GSH-Px mRNA or SOD mRNA expression (p<0.01) in the liver and ovaries. Addition of 100 IU/kg VE could significantly increase SOD mRNA expression (p<0.01) in the liver and ovary.Conclusion: Aged corn affected lipid metabolism and decreased the antioxidant function of laying hens. Dietary VE supplementation was unable to counteract the negative effects of aged corn on lipid metabolism. However, addition of 100 IU/kg VE prevented aged corninduced lipid peroxidation in the organs of laying hens.

Published: April 2020

Objective: The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of three approaches (the seasonal auto-regressive integrated moving average [SARIMA] model, the nonlinear autoregressive exogenous [NARX] artificial neural networks and Wood’s model) to the prediction of milk yield during lactation.Methods: The dataset comprised monthly test-day records from 965 Polish Holstein-Friesian Black-and-White primiparous cows. The milk yields from cows in their first lactation (from 5 to 305 days in milk) were used. Each lactation was divided into ten lactation stages of approximately 30 days. Two age groups and four calving seasons were distinguished. The records collected between 2009 and 2015 were used for model fitting and those from 2016 for the verification of predictive performance.Results: No significant differences between the predicted and the real values were found. The predictions generated by SARIMA were slightly more accurate, although they did not differ significantly from those produced by the NARX and Wood’s models. SARIMA had a slightly better performance, especially in the initial periods, whereas the NARX and Wood’s models in the later ones.Conclusion: The use of SARIMA was more time-consuming than that of NARX and Wood’s model. The application of the SARIMA, NARX and Wood’s models (after their implementation in a user-friendly software) may allow farmers to estimate milk yield of cows that begin production for the first time.
The impaired redox status and activated nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2/antioxidant response element pathway in wooden breast myopathy in broiler chickens
Authors: Pan Xiaona , Zhang Lin , Xing Tong , Li Jiaolong , Gao Feng
Published: April 2020

Objective: Wooden breast (WB) is a novel myopathy affecting modern broiler chickens, which causes substantial economic losses in the poultry industry. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of WB abnormality on meat quality, redox status, as well as the expression of genes of the nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway.Methods: A total of 80 broilers (Ross 308, 42 days of age, about 2.6 kg body weight) raised at Jiujin farm (Suqian, Jiangsu, China) were used. Twelve unaffected (no detectable hardness of the breast area) and twelve WB-affected (diffuse remarkable hardness in the breast muscle) birds were selected from the commercial broiler farm according to the criteria proposed by previous studies.Results: The results indicated that WB showed histological lesions characterized by fiber degeneration and fibrosis, along with an increase of muscle fiber diameter (p<0.05). Moreover, higher pH value, lightness, yellowness, drip loss and cooking loss were observed in the WB group (p<0.05). Compared with the normal breast (NOR) group, the WB group showed higher formation of reactive oxygen species (p<0.05), increased level of oxidation products and antioxidant activities (p<0.05), accompanied with mitochondrial damages and lower mitochondrial membrane potential (p<0.05). Meanwhile, the relative mRNA expressions of Nrf2 and its downstream antioxidant genes including heme oxygenase‐1, NAD(P)H qui none dehydrogenase 1, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and glutamate-cysteine ligase were higher than those of the NOR group (p<0.05).Conclusion: In conclusion, WB myopathy impairs meat quality by causing oxidative damages and mitochondrial dysfunction in broilers, even though the activated Nrf2/antioxidant response element pathway provides protection for the birds.

Published: April 2020

Objective: To investigate the improvement in utilization efficiency of total mixed ration (TMR) on Tibetan plateau, TMR were ensiled with different additives.Methods: A total of 150 experimental silos were prepared in a completely randomized design to evaluate the six treatments: i) control (without additive), ii) Lactobacillus buchneri (L. buchneri), iii) acetic acid, iv) propionic acid, v) 1,2-propanediol; and vi) 1-propanol. After 90 days of ensiling, silos were opened for fermentation quality and in vitro analysis, and then subjected to an aerobic stability test for 14 days.Results: Treating with L. buchneri, acetic acid, 1,2-propanediol and 1-propanol decreased propionic acid contents and yeast number, whereas increased (p<0.05) pH, acetic acid and ethanol contents in the fermented TMR. Despite increased dry matter (DM) loss in the TMRs treated with 1,2-propanediol and 1-pronanol, additives did not affect (p>0.05) all in vitro parameters including gas production at 24 h (GP24), GP rate constant, potential GP, in vitro DM digestibility and in vitro neutral detergent fibre digestibility. All additives improved the aerobic stability of ensiled TMR to different extents. Specially, aerobic stability of the ensiled TMR were substantially improved by L. buchneri, acetic acid, 1,2-propanediol, and 1-propanol, indicated by stable pH and lactic acid content during the aerobic stability test.Conclusion: L. buchneri, acetic acid, 1,2-propanediol, and 1-propanol had no adverse effect on in vitro digestibility, while ensiling TMR with the additives produced more acetic acid and ethanol, subsequently resulting in improvement of aerobic stability. There is a potential for some fermentation boosting additives to enhance aerobic stability of fermented TMR on Tibetan plateau.

Objective: The objectives of this study were to investigate the relationship between the mRNA expression of adipocyte type fatty acid binding protein (A-FABP) and heart type FABP (H-FABP) in Thai native chicken crossbreeds and evaluate the level of exotic inclusion in native chicken that will improve growth while maintaining its relatively low carcass fat.Methods: The fat deposition traits and mRNA expression of A-FABP and H-FABP were evaluated at 6, 8, 10, and 12 weeks of age in 4 chicken breeds (n = 8/breed/wk) (100% Chee breed [CH] [100% Thai native chicken background], CH male and broiler female [Kaimook e-san1; KM1] [50% CH background], broiler male and KM1 female [Kaimook e-san2; KM2] [25% CH background], and broiler [BR]) using abdominal fat (ABF) and muscular tissues.Results: The BR breed was only evaluated at 6 weeks of age. At week 6, the CH breed had a significantly lower A-FABP expression in ABF and intramuscular fat (IF) compared with the other breeds. At 8 to 12 weeks, the KM2 groups showed significant upregulation (p<0.05) of A-FABP in both ABF and IF compared to the CH and KM1 groups. The expression of H-FABP did not follow any consistent pattern in both ABF and IF across the different ages.Conclusion: Some level of crossbreeding CH chickens can be done to improve growth rate while maintaining their low ABF and IF. The expression level of A-FABP correlate with most fat traits. There was no consistency of H-FABP expression across breed. A-FABPs is involved in fat deposition, genetic markers in these genes could be used in marker assisted studies to select against excessive fat accumulation.

Background: High blood pressure is known as a major risk factor for myocardial infarction and renal impairment. Various factors, including the pattern of food intake and physical activity, are effective in the incidence of hypertension. Objectives: This study aimed at evaluating the relationship between dietary factors and hypertension in Hormozgan Province, South of Iran. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on 5075 adults aged more than 18 years from Hormozgan in 2016. Samples were selected through cluster sampling and randomly. The subjects’ information, including demographic information, dietary intake, anthropometric status, and blood pressure, were collected. Results: The high blood pressure in men was higher than in women. There was a significant relationship between systolic and diastolic blood pressure and age, body mass index, wrist and waist circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio. There was a statistically significant reverse relationship between hypertension and fruits intake, dairy products, fish, and decrease meat and nonalcoholic drink consumption. Conclusions: Regarding the high prevalence of hypertension among people and its strong association with food intake, improving dietary patterns should be considered as an essential preventive action.
The Problem of History and the Three Movements of Existence in Patočka on the Basis of an Appropriation of Arendt’s Anthropology
Authors: Pommier Eric , Cross D. J. S. ,   DePaul University
Published: April 2020

Jan Patočka holds that both the Husserlian and the Heideggerian descriptions of history remain abstract because they lack an authentic reflection on historical sense’s appearing, which presupposes a description of the transition from the nonhistorical and prehistorical states of humanity to its final historical state. Nevertheless, it seems that Patočka would confront an internal aporia here because, even if he sought to think the continuity of these three movements, he tends to affirm the rupture between them. To overcome that aporia, it becomes necessary to formulate the hypothesis according to which the prehistorical is characterized by a repression of sense’s problematic character, whereas the historical as such is characterized by a conversion of consciousness toward this problematic character. Justifying this hypothesis requires exploring Patočka’s anthropology, confronting it with Arendt’s anthropology, and formulating metaphysical perspectives.
Towards a Compositional Model of Ideology
Authors: Ponce de León Jennifer , Rockhill Gabriel ,   DePaul University
Published: April 2020

This article sets forth a compositional model of ideology by drawing on the tradition of historical materialism and further developing its insights into the aesthetic composition of reality. It demonstrates how ideology is not simply a set of false beliefs but is rather the process by which social agents are composed over time in every dimension of their existence, including their thoughts, practices, perceptions, representations, values, affects, desires, and unconscious drives. By working through a number of diverse debates and authors—ranging from Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels to Louis Althusser, Eduardo Galeano, Rosaura Sánchez, and Paulo Freire—it thereby elucidates how ideology is best understood as an aesthetic process that includes aspect of sense and sense-making, and that therefore requires a collective, cultural revolution as its antidote.
La noción de seguridad en la doctrina del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos: referencias al derecho a la tutela judicial efectiva
Authors: Milione Ciro
Published: April 2020

El concepto de seguridad entraña una serie de interrogantes que guardan relación, en primer lugar, con el alcance de su propio significado. Algunos de esos dilemas derivan de una mera constatación: la realidad social, política, económica y cultural actual demuestra que pocas nociones, como la de seguridad, resultan ser tan presentes en todos los ámbitos en los que se desarrolla el ser humano. En un cierto sentido, la seguridad lo abarca todo y todo puede ser reconducido a esa necesidad humana, básica y primordial. Así lo entendieron pensadores de la importancia de Macchiavelli, Hobbes o Locke que, entre otros, colocaron la seguridad al origen del Estado moderno. Todas esas razones y circunstancias nos permiten entender por qué la seguridad constituye hoy un bien jurídicamente relevante, reconocido, desde perspectivas distintas, en nuestros textos constitucionales y en tratados internacionales de particular trascendencia, como el Convenio Europeo de Derechos Humanos (CEDH).Así, por una parte el Tribunal Constitucional español (TC) y por otra el Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos (TEDH) se han preocupado de delimitar el significado jurídico de esa noción, cada uno desde sus respectivos ámbitos de competencia. En este sentido, el TC ha interpretado la noción de seguridad contenida en la Constitución española de 1978 (CE), otorgándole un triple significado: el de principio básico del ordenamiento jurídico (“seguridad jurídica”), el de derecho fundamental (Art. 17.1 CE), y el de “seguridad ciudadana” (Arts. 104 y 149.1.29 CE). Asimismo, el TEDH reconoce que la seguridad, en el marco del CEDH, destaca por su naturaleza triple: nuevamente la de derecho fundamental (Art. 5 CEDH); la de límite claramente establecido en lo que atañe al ejercicio de determinados derechos consagrados en el Convenio (Arts. 6, 8-11, Art. 2.3 Prot. Ad. nº 4 y Art. 1.2 Prot. Ad. nº 7 CEDH) y la de límite implícito a la eficacia de una determinada garantía de naturaleza procesal: el derecho a la asistencia letrada (Art. 6.3.c CEDH). En relación a este último caso, el TEDH (STEDH de 13 de septiembre de 2016, asunto Ibrahim and others vs. the United Kingdom) se ha preocupado de señalar que la existencia de “causas imperativas” (“compelling reasons” en el texto de la sentencia) relacionadas con la necesidad de proteger la seguridad nacional, justificarían la suspensión temporal del derecho a la asistencia letrada, no obstante la letra del Art. 6 CEDH no ampare dicha interpretación.El estudio se articula en torno a estos aspectos y concluye con algunas reflexiones sobre la incapacidad (o la falta de voluntad) del TC y del TEDH de adoptar la noción de “seguridad humana” como criterio interpretativo en la labor de defensa de los derechos humanos, y sobre los peligros que entraña premiar lógicas utilitaristas en el desarrollo de esa misma labor.
NUEVOS ENFOQUES TEÓRICOS PARA EL ESTUDIO DE LA POESÍA LÍRICA
Authors: GONZÁLEZ GIL Isabel
Published: April 2020

Resumen: Este artículo examina dos modelos teóricos recientes ycontrapuestos de estudio del género lírico: el mimético-narratológico y elperformático, que constituyen sendas aportaciones de la crítica literariainternacional al respecto en las dos últimas décadas, pero que han tenidoescasa difusión en la teoría literaria en lengua española. Se trata, por unlado, de las aplicaciones de la narratología al estudio de textos poéticos ylíricos y, por otro lado, la propuesta de Jonathan Culler en su Theory of theLyric, que rechaza la asimilación de la lírica al género narrativo y proponeindagar en su especificidad, no mimética sino performática. Abstract: This paper examines two recent and opposite models for the studyof the lyric genre: mimetic-narratological and performative, two importantcontributions of international literary criticism to the field. Nevertheless,they have had scarcely any repercussions in Spanish literary theory. First,we focus on the narratological applications to the study of poetic and lyrictexts. Second, we address Jonathan Culler’s theoretical proposal developedin his book Theory of the Lyric, in which he rejects the assimilation oflyric poetry to the model of narrative fiction, and he proposes instead toinvestigate its singularity, not imitative but performative.

Resumen: El relato autobiográfico de infancia se entiende en este artículocomo una de las representaciones literarias más renovadoras de la intimidaden la medida en que implica la reconstrucción imaginaria de un yo infantilque ya no existe, pero habita como un fantasma la memoria del adulto. Estapresencia fantasmática toma formas diversas en los relatos de infancia deAnnie Ernaux y de Luis Landero, cuya escritura indaga en la persistenciaactual de los sentimientos de vergüenza (en la primera) y de culpa (en elsegundo), y en la dificultad de recordarlos y contarlos.Abstract: The autobiography of childhood is taken in this article as one ofthe most innovative literary representations of intimacy in that it impliesthe imaginary reconstruction of a childhood self that no longer exists butinhabits as a ghost the memory of the adult. This ghostly presence adoptsdifferent forms in the childhood autobiographies of Annie Ernaux andLuis Landero, whose writing explore the ongoing persistence of feelingsof shame (in the former) and guilt (in the latter), and the difficulty in remembering and expressing those feelings.

Resumen: Proponemos una lectura de Un cuarto propio conectado(Zafra), centrado en la cuestión de la intimidad en el contexto de desarrolloacelerado e irreversible de Internet. En la estela de Woolf, el cuarto propiosigue siendo un lugar propicio para la emergencia de intimidades femeninasy feministas, centros de gestión del yo y de las relaciones de poder. Sinembargo, la dinámica y la forma de esa intimidad evolucionan bajo elimpulso de la digitalización. Veremos cómo, a medio camino entre ensayo,autobiografía y cuento, el texto de Zafra configura una nueva cartografíade la intimidad, de sus fronteras y de sus funciones. Abstract: We propose an analysis of Un cuarto propio conectado(Zafra), focused on the issue of privacy in the context of the acceleratedand irreversible development of the Internet. In the wake of Woolf, thenotion of a room of one’s own continues to be the very place where the emergence of feminine and feminist intimacies becomes possible, a center of management for the self and power relationships. However, the dynamics and form of intimacy have evolved through digitalization. We will see how, halfway between an essay, an autobiography and a short story, Zafra’s text maps out a new cartography of intimacy, its borders and its functions.

Sobre el origen de nuestro sistema electoral y sus secuelas en nuestros partidos y en la dinámica pública
Authors: Alzaga Villaamil Óscar
Published: April 2020

El Gobierno Suarez, sin negociar con la oposición democrática, si escuchó su aspiración a que la Ley para la Reforma Política previese unas Cortes constituyentes elegidas por representación proporcional (sobre la que informó en contra el Consejo Nacional del Movimiento), lo que asumió para el Congreso, con diversos contrapesos, pero no para el Senado. Incluyendo en el Decreto Ley del 18 de marzo de 1977 las listas cerradas y bloqueadas para el Congreso. Una constitucionalización de nuestro sistema electoral inspirada en los equilibrios de la Ley para la Reforma Política. Unos reglamentos parlamentarios grupocráticos que contribuyen a consolidar partidos de empleados, radicalmente confrontados, lo que hace formar gobiernos con apoyo de los nacionalismos.The Suarez Government didn’t negotiate with the democratic opposition, but attended its wish that the Ley para la Reforma Política of 1977 will establish a proportional system for the election of the Constituent Parliament (the Consejo Nacional del Movimiento reported against this system). So, the Government adopted this system for the Congress, with some counterweights, but not for the Senate. The Decree Law of 18th March 1977 introduced closed and blocked list for Congress. The later constitutionalization of the electoral system was inspired by the balances of the Ley para la Reforma Política. Finally, the Parliamentary Rules, which are «groupcratic», have contributed to consolidate parties of employees, radically confronted, which form governments with the support of nationalisms.
La formación de gobiernos en sistemas multipartidistas: la paradoja del caso español
Authors: Delgado Sotillos Irene
Published: April 2020

España ha sido hasta recientemente el único país de la Europa continental en el que ninguno de sus gobiernos ha sido formado por más de un partido, consecuencia de un sistema de partidos estable que ha facilitado la gobernabilidad incluso a gobiernos minoritarios. El primer gobierno de coalición que sale investido del Parlamento es resultado de la profunda transformación del sistema de partidos español tras los procesos electorales de la etapa 2015-2019. En este trabajo abordamos la excepcionalidad del caso español, analizamos el proceso negociador y la distribución de beneficios para la consecución de la estabilidad gubernamental en escenarios parlamentarios minoritarios.Until recently Spain has been the only country in continental Europe in which none of its governments has been formed by more than one party. This feature is the result of a stable party system that has facilitated governance even to minority governments. The first coalition government invested in Parliament is the result of the profound transformation of the Spanish party system after the electoral processes held during 2015-2019. In this work we address the exceptional nature of the Spanish case, it analyzes the negotiation process and the distribution of benefits for the achievement of government stability in minority parliamentary scenarios.

El sistema electoral de Bélgica y sus reformas electorales
Authors: Fernández-Esquer Carlos
Published: April 2020

El presente artículo aborda el estudio del sistema electoral de la Cámara de Representantes belga y sus reformas electorales. Bélgica fue el primer país europeo en adoptar un sistema de representación proporcional y, desde entonces, sus elementos centrales han exhibido una extraordinaria estabilidad. Sin embargo, con el cambio de siglo, el gobierno de coalición liderado por el liberal Guy Verhofstadt situó el debate sobre las reformas institucionales en el centro de la agenda política. Ello condujo a una reforma electoral que supuso la «provincialización» del mapa electoral, el establecimiento de una barrera electoral del 5 por ciento y la reducción a la mitad del peso de voto de lista. En 2012, se produjo la última reforma electoral, que consistió en la división de la polémica circunscripción de Bruselas-Halle-Vilvoorde. Este último episodio evidencia la complejidad del modelo federal belga, de carácter consociacional, bipolar y con dinámicas centrífugas.This paper deals with the study of the electoral system of the Belgian House of Representatives and its electoral reforms. Belgium was the first European country to adopt an electoral system of proportional representation and, since then, its main elements have exhibited extraordinary stability. However, with the turn of the century, the coalition government headed by the liberal Guy Verhofstadt put the debate on institutional reforms at the center of the political agenda. This led to an electoral reform that involved several novelties: the «provincialization» of the electoral map, the establishment of a 5 percent threshold and the reduction of the list vote weight by half. In 2012, there was the last electoral reform, which consisted of the division of the controversial constituency of Brussels-Halle-Vilvoorde. This last episode shows the complexity of the Belgian federal model, consociational, bipolar and with centrifugal dynamics.
Tipos de lista y perfiles parlamentarios en España y Alemania
Authors: Pamíes Carles
Published: April 2020

Los tipos de listas son un elemento central en los sistemas electorales, en particular por sus implicaciones en el funcionamiento de la democracia. Sin embargo, no es habitual encontrar estudios sobre cómo esos atributos pueden estar relacionados con el tipo de candidatos que se incluyen en esas listas. Tras una panorámica general de los distintos tipos de listas y la justificación de los casos de España y Alemania —dos sistemas distintos tanto en sus reglas formales como informales—. Tras esto, usamos los datos comparados de una encuesta trasnacional de ámbito europeo para ver las diferencias en los perfiles de los parlamentarios en las cámaras bajas de ambos países. Nuestra primera expectativa era encontrar mayor inclusividad en la selección en sistemas de listas más abiertas como el alemán, lo cual se confirma. Paralelamente, nuestra expectativa era que un sistema de listas cerradas como el español favorecería mayor inclusividad en los perfiles parlamentarios, pero esto es solo para el caso del género, mientras que ocurre lo contrario para edad y para el nivel y el perfil educativo. Estos resultados abren una vía de investigación sobre la relación entre los factores formales e informales de la selección de candidatos y los perfiles demográficos de representación.Electoral lists are a key element in electoral systems, particularly because of their implications for the functioning of democracy. However, it is not usual to find studies on how these attributes may be related to the type of candidates included in the electoral lists. We start with an overview of the different types of lists and we portray the cases of Spain and Germany - two different systems in both their formal and informal rules. After that, we use the comparative data of a transnational European survey to see the differences in the profiles of the parliamentarians in the lower houses of both countries. We firstly expected that a more open list system —the German case— would be more inclusive in terms of selection, which was confirmed. We also expected our close-list system in Spain to be more inclusive in parliamentary profiles, and this was the case only for gender, while in terms of age and educational levels and profiles was not. These results allow new inquiries to further research on the relationship between formal and informal factors of candidate selection and demographic representation profiles.
El sistema electoral de las Cortes Generales a través de su proceso de constitucionalización
Authors: Soriano Moreno Silvia
Published: April 2020

Aunque conocemos la configuración actual del sistema electoral de las Cortes Generales, resulta de especial interés realizar un acercamiento al proceso de creación del mismo. Por ello, nos centraremos en las enmiendas y debates que tuvieron lugar en ambas Cámaras durante el proceso de redacción constitucional para así comprender las redacciones definitivas y los diversos posicionamientos existentes. Esto nos ayudará a observar cómo ya desde el momento de elaboración del texto constitucional se pudieron vislumbrar los problemas que el sistema electoral tendría en el futuro.Although we know the current configuration of the electoral system for the Parliament, it has special interest to approach the process of creating it. Therefore, we will focus on the amendments and debates that took place in both Houses of Parliament during the constitutional process in order to understand the final wording and the various existing positions. This will help us to observe how from the moment of the elaboration of the constitutional text the problems that the electoral system would have in the future could be perceived.

A catalogue of the vertebrate fossil record from the Guadix-Baza Basin (SE Spain)
Authors: Maldonado-Garrido Elías , Piñero Pedro , Agustí Jordi
Published: April 2020

In this paper, a catalogue of the vertebrate content of the Guadix-Baza Basin is presented. A total of 93 localities have been reviewed, providing more than 300 vertebrate species. These localities have been included in 11 biochronological units, ranging in age from the late Miocene (MN 13) to the Middle Pleistocene (MmQ 4), including also two MN 10 localities. The best-represented epoch in the Guadix-Baza Basin is the Pliocene (MN 14 to MN 16), with 41 sites. This is followed by the Early Pleistocene (MN17 and MmQ1 to MmQ3) with 30 sites. The vertebrate classes represented in the basin are Actinopterygii, Amphibia, Aves, Reptilia and Mammalia, this last one being the best represented. Among mammals, small mammals are in their turn the most abundant, particularly rodents. The families Muridae and Arvicolidae dominate the rodent assemblages, murids being the dominant family in the late Miocene and early Pliocene, and arvicolids the most abundant group in the late Pliocene and Pleistocene.
Participation of Women in Local and Regional Soviets in Eastern Siberia from 1921 to 1936: Statistical Sources Analysis
Authors: Karchaeva Tat'yana Gennad'evna , Kizhner Inna Aleksandrovna , Gergilev Denis Nikolaevich
Published: April 2020

The article studies how women were becoming participants of the social and political life in the first soviet decades thus proving the socialistic policy to eliminate the class and sex inequality widely spread at the beginning of the 20th century. The article explores the dynamics of Eastern Siberian women’s participation in local Soviets in Russia from 1921 to 1936, their social composition, professionalism and work ethics. To analyze raw data the authors use database technology and statistical methods. Computer technologies provided for processing mass historical sources: party censuses, service records and inquiry forms of civil servants. The authors conclude that the number of women fluctuated between 25% and 33% of the deputies and delegates to the local and regional Soviets (public councils), they lacked proper professional experience and education (about 80% had only primary school education), had peasant or labor class background and could not boast high level of work ethics. Moreover, many women were passive deputies without any visible demonstration of the service. Statistical analysis has demonstrated that women with middle professional education and higher education had higher positions in executive committees of Soviets. They were few in number but they contributed a lot to the developing new administration and government.
