Assessment of the Suitability of Molecular SCoT Markers for Genetic Analysis of Coffee Species
Authors: Mishra Manoj Kumar , Huded Arun Kumar C. , Jingade Pavankumar
Published: January 2021

Start codon targeted polymorphism (SCoT), a novel and gene-targeted marker, has recently become the marker of choice in genetic diversity studies. In the present study, 31 SCoT primers were tested for their suitability in the genetic analysis of 21 coffee genotypes representing 18 species. A total of 647 distinct PCR amplified fragments were produced with a mean of 20.9 fragments per primer and 80.80% of which were polymorphic. The polymorphic information content of SCoT primers ranged from 0.16 to 0.86, with a mean value of 0.63. Resolving power ranged from 6.19 to 28.29, with a mean value of 20.2. Species-specific unique PCR amplified fragments were identified for 16 species, which could be used as genetic fingerprints. The genetic similarity among various coffee species calculated using the Dice similarity coefficient ranged between 0.60 and 0.89. The dendrogram constructed using the unweighted pair group of arithmetic means (UPGMA) clustered the 21 coffee genotypes into two major groups. The study revealed that Coffea jenkinsii, an indigenous species from India, showed the highest similarity with C. arabica, which is of Ethiopian origin. The results proved the suitability of SCoT markers in genetic analysis of coffee genotypes.

Published: January 2021

Switzerland has one of the best ecosystems for entrepreneurship. However, there is a blind spot with regard to vocational colleges: A systematic integration of the topic is currently missing. The initiative “Entrepreneurial Thinking and Acting in Swiss Vocational Colleges – Economic, Social and Ethical Dimensions” aims to address this blind spot. The vision of the initiative is to ensure that all 75,000 young people entering vocational colleges each year in Switzerland are given the opportunity to acquire entrepreneurial skills to enable them to play an active role in positively shaping the economy and society of the future. In the article, we focus on three key aspects of the initiative: (1) the pedagogical approach of the entrepreneurship program that allows students to develop personal initiative, entrepreneurial competences, and an awareness of sustainability; (2) the continuous evaluation of the program and the teacher training; and (3) the parallel bottom-up and top-down approach chosen to integrate entrepreneurial thinking and acting in the vocational education and training system.
Russian Food Import Ban – Impacts on Rural and Regional Development in Finland
Authors: Hyytiä Nina
Published: January 2021

This paper investigates the economic effects of the food import ban that Russia imposed vis-à-vis the European Union in 2014 on the development of two structurally different rural regions in Finland. A detailed, rural-urban dataset was compiled for use with a recursive dynamic computable general equilibrium model. In the medium run, the overall economic effects of the trade ban were negative for both regions, and the value added of agriculture and food industries fell notably. When the rigidities of capital availability were relaxed, regional GDP and employment increased in South Ostrobothnia as, for instance, metal industry and construction accelerated economic growth. In North Karelia, where agriculture and food industry account for a minor share of economy, other industries could not compensate the losses the ban caused. Accordingly, the impacts were dependent on the economic structure of the region.
The Influence of Tourist Infrastructure on the Mountain Landscape. Towards a Tourist Landscape. Case Study of the Silesian Beskid
Authors: Żemła-Siesicka Anna
Published: January 2021

The dynamic development of tourist infrastructure can damage the value of a landscape. Thus, the identification of the impact of tourist infrastructure on landscape is an important issue in the context of the limitation of further degradation of landscape. The purpose of this article is to assess the influence of tourist facilities in the mountain landscape of the Silesian Beskids in terms of both spatial and physiognomic aspects. The impact is assessed by using an index of landscape load with tourist infrastructure (landscape load index – LLI) developed by author. The index is based on calculation of the saturation of landscape with cubature, area and linear elements of tourist infrastructure corrected by a coefficient describing the degree of their impact on the landscape. The results indicate the spatial diversity of the landscape load and thus of the transformation of a landscape towards a tourist one. The presented method has an application value in the forecasting and programming of the tourist infrastructure with respect to landscape values.
The Relationship between Cost System Functionality, Management Accounting Practices, and Hospital Performance
Authors: Kludacz-Alessandri Magdalena
Published: January 2021

All sophisticated management accounting practices used in hospitals require a functional costing system, which allows for better cost calculation of medical services. This is important for the hospitals because they should always look for the possibilities to improve their outcomes. This study evaluates the effects of various structural factors on quality of costing system and magement accounting practices and examines how these two constructs impact on hospital performance. The data was collected using a questionnaire survey carried out among chief accountants and hospital managers in Polish and English hospitals. Multiple regression was employed to analyze the data. The findings confirmed the earlier studies that hospital performance depends on the quality of cost calculation, as well as on management accounting practices. On the other hand, the quality of cost calculation depends on hospital size and a level of computerization.
Is neighborhood level Jobs-Housing Balance associated with travel behavior of commuters?: a case study on Dhaka City, Bangladesh
Authors: Rahman Md Hamidur , Ashik Fajle Rabbi
Published: January 2021

Being one of the densely populated cities of the world, city dwellers of Dhaka have to face severe traffic congestion daily while commuting for different purposes. According to the World Bank report, Dhaka is losing around 3.2 billion working hours daily as the current average driving speed is about seven kilometers per hour. To ease traffic congestion, urban policymakers around the world are concentrating on the geographical balance between the locations of jobs and housing. Despite the apparent acceptance of jobs-housing balance as a policy tool to guide urban development, little empirical research has been carried out on jobs-housing balance and its relation to the travel behavior of the residents. This study aims to close this research gap by: (a) quantifying neighborhoodlevel jobs-housing balance; (b) investigating whether there are any significant differences in commuting time and distance of the resident workers in correspondence with different Job-Housing Ratio (JHR) values of neighbourhoods. This paper uses Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs) demarcated on the Revised Strategic Transport Plan as a unit of measuring the Job-Housing Ratio, and then, TAZs have been categorized into three groups, named as Housing-rich, Balanced, and Employment-rich, in terms of the recommended range of Job-Housing Ratio. Residents’ home-based commuting data have been calculated from 16,000 households who participated in Household Interview Survey of Revised Strategic Transport Plan 2015. Results demonstrate that Housing-rich neighbourhoods have a significantly longer commuting distance and time than both Balanced and Employment-rich neighbourhoods. Above all, both commuting time and distance show exponentially declining relation, but with a decreasing rate, in correspondence with JHR. The study output suggests that the achievement of a balance between jobs and housing in a neighborhood would be beneficial for the people to economize the commuting time and distance.
Ján Horecký and the dynamics within the models of morphology in the example of the thematic verb vowel
Authors: Jarošová Alexandra
Published: January 2021

In the beginning of the 1950s, using the thematic vowel as a criterion for dividing verbs into conjugation classes became the topic of a major linguistic discussion, since the historical understanding of the vowel was no longer applicable for the compilation of practical handbooks. Proposals presented in the discussion aimed to discover a functionalistic replacement for the concept of the thematic vowel. Despite this radical attitude, partakers of the discussion were not able to avoid the mixing of contemporary and historical perspectives. The discussion on the nature of this segment found itself in a cul‐de‐sac. What is the segment’s function? Does the vowel represent a part of the stem or a part of the suffix? Or is it autonomous? These dilemmas were solved in 1964 when Ján Horecký proposed new principles for morphematic division in Slovak, which upgraded the then‐existing building of – not only – morphematic models to new qualitative levels.

Authors: Ma Wenzhuang , Guo Jintao , Yang Fan , Dietrich Christoph F. , Sun Siyu
Published: January 2021

Hemorrhoids are one of the most common diseases of the anorectal region. Previously, treatment for hemorrhoids included conservative treatment, outpatient treatment, and surgical treatment. The development of flexible reversible endoscopes has provided precise controllability and imaging, enabling further improvement and development of various endoscopic techniques to treat hemorrhoids. This article discusses several of these endoscopic techniques: rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, and electrocoagulation. The development, efficacy, and advantages of these treatments are summarized and evaluated. It is expected that going forward, endoscopic technology will be further applied in clinical practice and may become the first-line method for the treatment of hemorrhoids.

Published: January 2021

Introduction

Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease that affects both humans and animals, the occurrence of which increases markedly during and after heavy rainfall and flooding. The aim of this study was to determine the serological prevalence of leptospiral infection in livestock after a voluminous flood in 10 districts of the Malaysian state of Kelantan.

Material and Methods

In December 2014, Kelantan was hit by an extensive flood. A total of 1,728 serum samples were collected from livestock from the state, comprised of 1,024 from cattle, 366 from goats and 338 from sheep, and they were tested using the microscopic agglutination test (MAT).

Results

Altogether, 203 (11.75%; 203/1728; 95% CI: 10.20%–13.30%) of the tested sera were found to be positive serologically. Cattle had the highest prevalence of 14.16% (145/1024), while goats and sheep had 11.20% (41/366) and 5.03% (17/338) respectively. The most frequent serovars detected were Hardjo-bovis (3.70%; 64/1728), Hebdomadis (2.08%; 36/1728) and Pomona (1.04%; 18/1728). There was a statistically significant association (P < 0.05) between livestock that were exposed to the flood and seropositivity.

Conclusion

This study showed that flood is a risk factor that can play a role in the epidemiology of leptospiral infection in livestock.

Authors: Dąbrowski Andrzej , Zielińska-Dąbrowska Sylwia , Kuszewski Tomasz , Lis Krzysztof
Published: January 2021

Purpose: To test the NAL and eNAL correction protocols using daily patient setup displacements.

Methods and material: In total, the analysis was performed for 749 and 797 kV CBCT images for gynecological and prostate patients, respectively, each of 30 patients. After the planning procedure, patients were set up on the treatment table in the treatment position every day. The on-line correction protocol was applied. KV CBCT images were acquired by means of x-ray lamp mounted orthogonally on Linac. Patient setup displacement was assigned. NAL and eNAL corrections protocols were simulated using daily data from online corrections for these two groups of patients. The overall systematic error and random error were calculated for each direction.

Results: For the prostate group, the random errors for daily Raw data (no correction) in LAT, LONG, and VERT directions were 2.0 mm, 1.6 mm, and 3.2 mm, respectively. For NAL and eNAL protocols, they were in the range of 1.8 mm to 3.2 mm. For the gynecological group, the random errors were: for daily Raw data 2.2 mm, 1.7 mm, and 3.2 mm, respectively. For NAL and eNAL protocols, they were in the range of 2.0 to 3.4 mm.

For the prostate group, values of systematic errors 1.8 mm, 1.8 mm, and 3.3 mm, respectively for Raw data. For NAL and eNAL protocols, these values were less than 1.8 mm. For the gynecological group, the systematic errors were 2.6 mm, 2.3 mm, and 2.8 mm, respectively, for Raw data. For NAL ana eNAL protocols less than 1.8 mm.

For the gynecological group, for Raw data, 45% of the total displacement vectors exceeded 5 mm, whereas only 25% did after the NAL procedure and 29% after the eNAL procedure. For the prostate group, for Raw data, 34% of the total displacement vectors exceeded 5 mm, whereas only 22% did after NAL procedure and 28% after eNAL procedure Conclusions: For gynecological and prostate cancer patients, the NAL and eNAL correction protocols can be safely applied to substantially reduce setup errors.
Dose assessment in high dose rate brachytherapy with cobalt-60 source for cervical cancer treatment: a phantom study
Authors: Bour Bright Kwadwo , Inkoom Stephen , Tagoe Samuel Nii Adu , Amuasi John Humphrey , Sasu Evans , Hasford Francis
Published: January 2021

Transition from low dose rate brachytherapy to high dose rate brachytherapy at our department necessitated the performance of dose verification test, which served as an end-to-end quality assurance procedure to verify and validate dose delivery in intracavitary brachytherapy of the cervix and the vaginal walls based on the Manchester system. An in-house water phantom was designed and constructed from Perspex sheets to represent the cervix region of a standard adult patient. The phantom was used to verify the whole dose delivery chain such as calibration of the cobalt-60 source in use, applicator, and source localization method, the output of treatment planning with dedicated treatment planning system, and actual dose delivery process. Since the above factors would influence the final dose delivered, doses were measured with calibrated gafchromic EBT3 films at various points within the in-house phantom for a number of clinical implants that were used to treat a patient based on departmental protocol. The measured doses were compared to those of the treatment planning system. The discrepancies between measured doses and their corresponding calculated doses obtained with the treatment planning system ranged from -29.67 to 40.34% (mean of ±13.27%). These compared similarly to other studies.

Published: January 2021

The article covers the geographical features of the organisation of medical tourism for a group of the world's population suffering from a brain disease – dementia. The main attention is paid to the development of this type of tourism in Russia in comparison with some other countries. The question is raised about the involvement of these people in tourism activities, which could help to improve their health status and improve the living environment of societies. The main problems faced by tourists with the disease dementia are considered. The authors advocate that freedom of movement is the inalienable right of every person. Therefore, the creation of conditions for comfortable travel of people even with mental defects becomes a necessary measure to ensure the sustainable development of accessible tourism infrastructure. The recommendations are given, the implementation of which will allow organising an efficiently working tourist and recreational system that satisfies the needs of these peculiar recreational tourists, as well as the interests of all society representatives.

Published: January 2021

Introduction

Introduction: To estimate the procedure-related risks of pregnancy loss following chorionic villus sampling (CVS) and amniocentesis (AC) compared to pregnancies without procedure.

Methods

This cohort study enrolled all women who underwent CVS or AC at the Department of Perinatology, University Medical Centre, Ljubljana, Slovenia (from January 2013 to June 2015). For each group we obtained a maternal age and gestational age (11–14 weeks for CVS and >15 weeks for AC) for a matched control group without invasive procedures from the national database. The data was obtained from hospital records and telephone surveys concerning pregnancy outcomes. Pregnancy loss rates in intervention vs. control groups were compared by generating relative risk (RR) with a 95% confidence interval.

Results

During the study period, 828 women underwent CVS and 2,164 women underwent AC. Complete outcome data was available in 2,798 cases (93.5%, 770 CVS, 2,028 AC). Pregnancy loss occurred in 8/770 (1.04%, 95% CI 0.4–2.0%) after CVS vs. 15/1130 (1.33%, 95% CI 0.8–2.2%) in matched control (RR 0.8, 95% CI 0.33–1.8, p=0.6). It occurred in 16/2028 (0.79%, 95% CI 0.5–1.3%) after AC vs. 14/395 (3.29%, 95% CI 2.1–5.8%) in matched control (RR 0.2, 95% CI 0.11–0.45, p<0.0001).

Conclusion

The pregnancy loss rates after CVS and AC were comparable to losses in pregnancies without these procedures. With the increasing use of non-invasive prenatal testing, information that the invasive procedures are safe when indicated is essential.

Published: January 2021

Introduction

The aim was to adapt the Croatian and the Serbian versions of the Oral Health Impact Profile for the edentulous population (OHIP-EDENT-CRO and OHIP-EDENT-SRB).

Methods

The translation and cross-cultural adaptation were carried out in accordance with accepted international standards. A total of 95 and 177 removable denture wearers were recruited in Croatia and Serbia respectively. The reliability was evaluated by calculating Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and by test-retest (30 participants in each country). The concurrent validity was determined by calculating the Spearman’s rank coefficient between the OHIP-EDENT summary scores and one question related to removable denture satisfaction. Construct validity was determined by exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Responsiveness was determined by comparison of the OHIP-EDENT summary scores before and after dental implant placement to support mandibular overdentures (23 patients in Croatia, 21 in Serbia).

Results

Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.92 in Croatia and 0.87 in Serbia. The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.98 in Croatia and 0.94 in Serbia. In Croatia the Spearman’s correlation coefficient was -0.71 (p<0.001) and in Serbia -0.74 (p<0.001). Both confirmed concurrent validity. Construct validity was tested by EFA, which extracted four factors in each country, accounting for 66.59% of the variance in Croatia and 59.33% in Serbia. Responsiveness was confirmed in both countries by a significant OHIP-EDENT summary score reduction and a high standardised effect size (3.9 in Croatia, 1.53 in Serbia).

Conclusion

The results prove that both instruments, the OHIP-EDENT-CRO and the OHIP-EDENT-SRB, have very good psychometric properties for assessing OHRQoL in the edentulous population.

Kłopotliwe dziedzictwo sarmatyzmu. Romantyczni twórcy wobec postaci starosty kaniowskiego Mikołaja Bazylego Potockiego
Authors: Węgrzyn Iwona
Published: January 2021

The paper is not only an attempt at reconstructing the literary legend of Mikołaj Potocki, a governor from Kaniów, but also a story about the helplessness of the Polish 19th‑century writers against the crazy magnate, his legend and Sarmatism, which he represented. Works by Kraszewski, Groza, Grabowski, Jankowski and many other authors, which are dedicated to Mikołaj Potocki, seem to be an interesting testimony of the 19th‑century writers’ struggle with the tradition of their ancestors (not always obvious and accepted). They also make it possible to formulate a thesis about the 19th‑century retouch of pre‑Enlightenment noble culture (rejecting cruelty as a component of knightly identity of noble culture and eliminating characters evoking confusion from among the pantheon of ancestors, for example those described as tricksters by anthropologists).
Literackość kazań księdza Janusza Stanisława Pasierba
Authors: Sikora Jerzy
Published: January 2021

Sermons of Reverend Janusz Stanisław Pasierb have a distinct literary character. This may be due to the fact that the preacher was both a poet and essayist. The first part of the paper contains a methodological reflection on literariness, with particular emphasis on the location of the sermon as a specific genre of expression in relation to other forms of literary expression. In the further part of the text, the style and composition of sermons of Reverend Pasierb and their relationship with the poetry of this author are examined. Also, homilies from the funerals of art people are presented – in these works Pasierb contained a particularly large literary component. Reverend Pasierb is fully aware of what the art of word is, including the preacher’s word. He works towards a greater linguistic reflection, drawing artistic attention to the style of preaching. His preaching, with a metaphysical depth and clearly eschatological perspective, and at the same time adding value to worldliness, often tends to an essay and meditation. We are dealing with the individualization of a preacher’s message and a partial remodelling of a typical preacher’s formula.
Od „śmierdzącego dudka” po banialuki. Obraz ptaków w literaturze renesansu i baroku – rekonesans
Authors: Chemperek Dariusz
Published: January 2021

Birds function in Polish literature of Renaissance and Baroque in three paradigms. Mostly they appear as creatures gifted with a symbolic (allegoric) meaning, seen through the prism of the tradition reaching to Aristotle’s Zoology, Physiologist, and later symbological compendia. The second category is describing birds as food or pests (especially in hunting and agricultural literature). Apart from this ‘practical’ paradigm, there is also a third one: birds as a source of an aesthetic thrill, fascination with them includes both lyricism and a ludic element. The first two categories fit into a more general utilitarian paradigm. Handbooks, treaties, sermons, fairy tales, paroemias and animal epigrams showcase birds almost exclusivelyas tools of moral, religious and conventional reflection, or as objects to be obtained and consumed. Interestingly, the symbological activity of the creators does not cease in the Renaissance and Baroque periods, the representatives of avifauna are burdened with new meanings, while the fantastic creatures slowly disappear from the creators’ fields of view. In the third group of works distinguished here, one can notice the phenomenon of the emancipation of birds as objects of interest just as they are, although their voice is heard mostly in the digressions scattered throughout the big epic works. The autonomy of birds in the literature of Renaissance and Baroque is not linear, the way of perceiving them is determined by the individual sensitivity of the authors, the most prominent of whom are Hieronim Morsztyn (early 17th century) and an anonymous translator of the Italian Adon (2nd half of the 17th century).
W kręgu późnobarokowej zootanatologii. Trzy próbki literackie Jana Ludwika Platera
Authors: Samborska-Kukuć Dorota
Published: January 2021

A manuscript collection, literary Miscellanea, from the 18th century, which is in the possession of the Ossolineum Library, contains works written by Jan Ludwik Plater (ca. 1670–1736), a Livonian voivode. Three poems about little domestic animals, and more specifically – their dying, are worth the attention. The author, who was an educated man, wrote elegies for the death of the ‘turkey court’ favourites, following the model of ancient (Catullus, Ovid) and old‑Polish (Kochanowski, Szymonowic) writers. He wrote light and graceful poems, which contain the features of an elegy but are also decorative in the Rococo style; on the one hand they ‘commemorate’ ephemeral beings, on the other hand they provoke thought on the universality of death.
Listening to Music “in” the Library
Authors: Johnston Lucinda
Published: January 2021

Digital and streaming audio and video (A/V) content have usurped the primacy of physical media materials and their playback technology within institutional music libraries, notwithstanding throwbacks to and resurgences of physical media in commercial and personal contexts. Music libraries are challenged with the conflicting responsibilities of maintaining legacy format materials that are not digitally available, continuing to collect physical resources that are not available either digitally or through institutional streaming subscriptions, and acquiring born-digital and digitized resources. They must also reconcile these responsibilities with the fact that many streaming A/V resources are freely available to individual consumers. In an era of dwindling resources and appreciation for curated music collections, how will libraries ensure that their A/V resources, in all formats, remain relevant to current and future users? This paper presents the results of an A/V usage survey administered to affiliates of the University of Alberta’s Music Department to learn about the attitudes, preferences and experiences of music library users’ practises for accessing recorded music.
Footing e TRP - A arquitetura informal do C-ORAL-Brasil I sob uma ótica socio(inter)acional
Authors: Gonçalves Sineide
Published: January 2021

Este artigo contempla o aspecto dinâmico que orienta e organiza as relações interpessoais em eventos microecológicos que Goffman (1979) chamou de footing e considera, também, o momento exato da alternância de turno que linguistas como Sacks, Schegloff e Jefferson (1974; 2003), Marcuschi (2003) e Couper-Kuhlen e Selting (2018) chamam de TRP (Lugar de Relevância para a Transição). O objetivo é verificar em dois arquivos de fala espontânea do C-ORAL-BRASIL I, “bfamcv02” e “bfamcv05”, se o TRP das TCUs (Unidades de Construção de Turno) constituídas nas falas em interação provoca mudanças de footing. Para alcançar este objetivo, elaborou-se uma interface entre a prosódia, Hirst e Di Cristo (1998), Bolinger (1986), Halliday (1967), Robert D. Ladd (2008 [1996]), Gumperz (1988) e Selting, (1995), e as perspectivas teóricas que melhor explicam a estruturação de uma interação falada: a Análise da Conversa, a Linguística Interacional e a Sociolinguística Interacional, Sacks, Schegloff e Jefferson (1974; 2003), Marcuschi (1988; 2003; 2008), Couper-Kuhlen e Selting (2018), Goffman (1972; 1974; 1798; 1981), Gumperz (1982; 1989) e Tannen e Wallat (1987). As análises foram realizadas, portanto, a partir de aspectos sociointeracionais e suprassegmentais e os resultados apontaram que o TRP verificado nas TCUs elaboradas nas duas situações comunicativas escolhidas para este artigo provoca mudanças de footing.

The constitution is approved as a law capable of guaranteeing human rights and protection of the constitution and past coordination, as well as being the corpus of the administration of the rule of law entity itself. Regarding the state of Indonesia and the United States, if examined by these two countries, they have similarities in the form of republican government or presidential system of government. However, on the contrary, in the impeachment transition, the two countries appear to be dichotomous both formally and materially. Therefore, this scientific article discusses reviewing the impeachment provisions of the Presidents of the two countries who agree to develop agreements and principles in checks and balances in trying to actualize the value of the country's legal justice. Therefore, in approving the discourse of research methods, descriptive-comparative methods are used with normative-philosophical and comparative-critical discussions. On that basis, this study discusses the practice of presidential impeachment in Indonesia to consider more legal justice, because it is through a legal process involving the Constitutional Court which implements practices in the United States that only involve the Senate and the House of Representatives which incidentally is a political institution. It considers the constitution in the basic law of the country.

Resumen: La relación entre Aragón e Inglaterra durante el reinado de Alfonso III de Aragón (1285-1291), también conocido por la historiografía como «el Franco» o «el Liberal», fue muy cercana y no solo con Eduardo I, sino también con su esposa la reina Leonor de Castilla. Como fruto de esa alianza se firmaron los tratados de Olorón (1287) y Canfranc (1288) en el seno de unas turbulentas relaciones entre los reinos europeos. Aunque Thomas Rymer transcribió la mayoría de los documentos de esta relación entre los siglos xvii y xviii, no incluyó todos los diplomas existentes y se equivocó en la datación de algunos de ellos. Este artículo completa el trabajo de Rymer y analiza qué temas se trataron entre los reyes de Aragón e Inglaterra durante sus muy habituales contactos.

Memorias del arzobispado de Tarragona (siglos XII-XIII)
Authors: Bonet Donato María
Published: January 2021

Abstract: These pages explain the making of an episcopal identity story. The medieval archbishopric of Tarragona wove a specific memory on episcopal authority, that defined a sacred identity, linked to the first Peninsular Christianization and with singular mechanisms of power. This tradition of the episcopal see was constructed contemporary and reinforced in subsequent times. Some key elements of these memories were: the restoration of the late-Roman Church, the sacred nature of the seat and of some bishops, the vindication of metropolitan and ‘first’ see, the religious authority in the region and against other powers, the recognition of pontifical support and patronage, the links with the major political powers, the religious charismae and the features of lordly power. In short, the archbishop's power was supported by the tradition of the see and drew on a set of iconic images that became a story of legitimacy and authority.
Key words: memory, church history, historiography, archbishopric of Tarragona, 12th-13th centuries.
Resumen: El arzobispado medieval de Tarragona tejió una memoria sobre su autoridad, revestida de una identidad sagrada, que difundió los caracteres específicos de su potestad y de la realidad dominical. Las tradiciones sobre la sede tarraconense fueron establecidas durante los siglos xii y xiii, con aportaciones destacadas como la del prelado Benet de Rocabertí. Algunos elementos laudatorios y reivindicativos de sus mensajes fueron: la vinculada a la primera cristianización peninsular, la restauración de la Iglesia romana tardía, la reclamación de la primacía, la naturaleza sagrada de algunos obispos, la preminencia en la jurisdicción religiosa y dominical, el reconocimiento del apoyo y patrocinio pontificio y los carismas religiosos. En resumen, el poder del arzobispo se dotó de una ideología que se apoyó en un conjunto de imágenes icónicas al servició de una narrativa legitimadora y para la afirmación de los poderes y las proyecciones de la mitra.

Authors: Fernández Portela Julio , Martín Roda Eva María , Muguruza Cañas María del Carmen , Vidal Domínguez María Jesús
Published: January 2021

La situación política actual se caracteriza por la fragmentación del voto que ha dado lugar al debilitamiento y, en algunos territorios, al fin del bipartidismo, como es el caso de la Comunidad de Madrid (CM). Las características mayorías absolutas del PP y del PSOE, han dejado paso a un abanico de gobierno más plural, donde la necesidad de los pactoses inevitable para lograr la gobernabilidad de un territorio. Este trabajo analiza la reorganización y la situación actual del mapa político de la CM. Para ello se van a estudiar los resultados electorales de los comicios municipales de 2011, 2015 y 2019. Los datos utilizados para este trabajo son los que proporcionan el Ministerio del Interior y la Comunidad de Madrid, así como el Padrón Municipal de Habitantes del Instituto Nacional de Estadística. Tras una revisión bibliográfica de los estudios realizados sobre la Geografía Electoral, se han elaborado una serie de gráficos y mapas que sustentan las bases de esta investigación, y en los que el tamaño de los municipios es la variable más representativa. El resultado es un escenario diverso en la CM entre 2011 y 2019. Se ha pasado de la hegemonía de los dos grandes partidos políticos, PP y PSOE, y en especial del PP, a un mapa con una variedad más amplia de opciones políticas, una mayor pluralidad política. Es decir, de un mapa monocolor a otro policromático en apenas ocho años y con notorias diferencias territoriales.
