Can Women be Successful Managers in Technology Business? four Romanian Examples
Authors: Brujban Andreea , Scarlat Cezar , Ioanid Alexandra
Published: January 2016

Purpose of the work: This research is meant to outline the contribution brought by women in technology management and identify how business environment, especially from the Romanian market, welcome females who lead in this men dominated industry.

Methodology: The paper has been built upon analyzing the connection between world’s female leaders and technological advance. The sources were articles, books and interviews. To outline the Romanian situation, an interviewing phase followed, with four women who currently lead in the IT industry.

Important finding: Gender disparity has been and is wide-reaching in most of technology’s industries. Nevertheless, women reaching a certain career level, are more eager to embrace tech management. They have proven to be extremely open to the challenges brought by this new technologized working environment, worldwide in general and narrowed down to Romania as well.

Conclusions and key “Take Home Messages”: The primary message transmitted by this research is that women can indeed add value to the technology business and their main contribution is bringing IT closer to people. Women’s potential reaches beyond having gender diversity, and should be exploited at its maximum. Women have the understanding that technology is created for people, and their entire work revolves around it.
Redesign Subject to Support Group Work in Distance Education
Authors: Soon Lisa
Published: January 2016

This paper is about a distance education subject redesign undertaken in School of Information Studies at Charles Sturt University. This paper presents a theoretical framework supporting a constructive alignment in subject redesign grounded on some valuable learning theories, namely social constructivism, cooperative learning and collaborative learning. The theoretical framework guided the redesign of a postgraduate subject INF441 Information Management in Organizations. In the subject redesign, constructive alignment for learning environment, intended learning outcomes, teaching and learning activities and assessment tasks were carefully checked. The paper reports the effects of the subject learning design after the subject was subsequently taught by the same designer in the role of a subject coordinator/lecturer. Group work tools in CSU Interact (a learning management system using Sakai) were able to create an appropriate learning environment for the successful running of the subject. The subject redesign created an effective beneficial learning environment in the presence of the affordance of the learning management system ‘CSU Interact’.

Authors: Tasevski Goran , Papazoska Elena
Published: January 2016

Selective soldering is the process of soldering components to printed circuit boards that could not be treated in a reflow oven in a traditional surface-mount technology process due to thermal shock and damaging. Process of flux appliance as a first step of the selective soldering process sets the baseline for achieving high quality and robustness of the soldered joints.

Purpose of this research is to identify the factors that directly influence the effectiveness of the fluxing process in selective soldering machines, using the design of experiment methodology with associated factors and levels used in the experiment. Final findings gives directions for set up of the optimal fluxing parameters that will enable appropriate flux appliance and to gain reduction of soldering quality issues which foundations are from this process.

Authors: Zhang Nan , Liu JinHui , Li JingJie , Chen Chong , Zhang HuiTu , Wang Hai-Kuan , Lu Fu-Ping
Published: January 2016

In the present research, a strain of Lactobacillus plantarum TK9 was isolated from the Chinese naturally fermented congee and its characteristics for probiotic and food preservation were investigated. In terms of probiotic, the strain not only survives bile salts and simulated gastric juice but grows well under hypertonic conditions. Besides, the L. plantarum TK9 exhibited a broad antifungal spectrum, including most of the species closely related to food spoilage, like Penicillium roqueforti, Penicillium citrinum, Penicillium oxalicum, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus and Rhizopus nigricans. But no evident inhibition effect was found on Aspergillus niger. To further evaluate its potential as bio-preservative, L. plantarum TK9 was inoculated into citrus, apples and yogurt prior to the addition of moulds. The results indicated that L. plantarum TK9 could obviously prolong shelf life of the test food for 72–96 h and represent an excellent candidate for food-related bio-preservative.

Published: January 2016

On account of the complexity of turboprop engine control system, real-time simulation is the technology, under the prerequisite of maintaining real-time, to effectively reduce development cost, shorten development cycle and avert testing risks. The paper takes RT-LAB as a platform and studies the real-time digital simulation of turboprop engine control system. The architecture, work principles and external interfaces of RT-LAB real-time simulation platform are introduced firstly. Then based on a turboprop engine model, the control laws of propeller control loop and fuel control loop are studied. From that and on the basis of Matlab/Simulink, an integrated controller is designed which can realize the entire process control of the engine from start-up to maximum power till stop. At the end, on the basis of RT-LAB platform, the real-time digital simulation of the designed control system is studied, different regulating plans are tried and more ideal control effects have been obtained.
“[…] Non urbs, tamen urbibus ipsa major.” The Image of The Hague in the Dutch Literature and Art of the 17th and 18th Century
Authors: Polkowski Marcin
Published: January 2016

Although in the early-modern period The Hague was not officially a city, its identity was based on specifically urban features. During the 17th and 18th century, its ambiguous status was explored by the authors of verse urban encomia and prose descriptiones urbium. In this article, the presentation of The Hague will be first discussed on the example of Caspar Barlaeus’ Latin poem “Haga”, and Constantijn Huygens’ Dutch encomium “’s Gravenhage” from the Dorpen [Villages] cycle of epigrams. Then, the image of The Hague will be examined in the context of an allegorical representation by Jan Caspar Philips in Jacob de Riemer’s Beschryving van ‘s Graven-hage [Description of The Hague, 1730]. The concluding remarks address the question of how the transformation of the status of The Hague undertaken by these writers and artists may be understood in the context of the literary-historical geography of the Northern Renaissance which has been a special subject of research by Professor Andrzej Borowski.
Van privileges tot republiek: Evolutie van de taal van de Opstand. Een woordenboek / From the Privileges to the Republic: the Evolution of the Language of the Dutch Revolt. A Dictionary
Authors: Szmytka Rafał
Published: January 2016

The second half of the 16th century is regarded as the decisive moment in the history of the Low Countries. The politics of religious intolerance and financial oppression practiced by the Habsburg governors resulted in protests and, finally, in the open revolt of the Provinces under the leadership of the princes of Orange and Nassau. The aim of this work is to follow and reconstruct the ideas of political thought accompanying the events leading to the rise of a new state. In the dicussed state forming process the main emphasis was put on the issues of freedom, states, and sovereignty, as well as on the concept of the possibility of dismissing the obedience inherited from the medieval privileges. These concepts and terms created a special sort of dictionary of the Dutch political thought.

Reduction in daily hydrocortisone dose improves bone health in primary adrenal insufficiency
Authors: Schulz Julia , Frey Kathrin R , Cooper Mark S , Zopf Kathrin , Ventz Manfred , Diederich Sven , Quinkler Marcus
Published: January 2016

Objective

Individuals with primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) or congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) receive life-long glucocorticoid (GC) replacement therapy. Current daily GC doses are still higher than the reported adrenal cortisol production rate. This GC excess could result in long-term morbidities such as osteoporosis. No prospective trials have investigated the long-term effect of GC dose changes in PAI and CAH patients.

Methods

This is a prospective and longitudinal study including 57 subjects with PAI (42 women) and 33 with CAH (21 women). Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry at baseline and after 2 years. Subjects were divided into three groups (similar baseline characteristics) depending on changes in daily hydrocortisone equivalent dose (group 1: unchanged 25.2±8.2 mg (mean±s.d.,n=50); group 2: increased 18.7±10.3 to 25.9±12.0 mg (n=13); group 3: decreased 30.8±8.5 to 21.4±7.2 mg (n=27)).

Results

Subjects in group 1 showed normal lumbar and femoralZ-scores which were unchanged over time. Group 2 subjects showed a significant decrease in femoral neckZ-scores over time (−0.15±1.1 to −0.37±1.0 (P<0.05)), whereas group 3 subjects showed a significant increase in lumbar spine and hipZ-scores (L1–L4: −0.93±1.2 to –0.65±1.5 (P<0.05); total hip: −0.40±1.0 to −0.28±1.0 (P<0.05)). No changes in BMI over time were seen within any group. Reduction in GC dose did not increase the risk of adrenal crisis.

Conclusion

This study demonstrates for the first time that cautious reduction in hydrocortisone equivalent doses leads to increases in BMD, whereas dose increments reduced BMD. These data emphasize the need for the lowest possible GC replacement dose in AI patients to maintain health and avoid long-term adverse effects.
Identification of Polymorphisms Associated with Drought Adaptation QTL inBrassica napusby Resequencing

Published: January 2016

Brassica napus is a globally important oilseed for which little is known about the genetics of drought adaptation. We previously mapped twelve quantitative trait loci (QTL) underlying drought-related traits in a biparental mapping population created from a cross between winter and spring B. napus cultivars. Here we resequence the genomes of the mapping population parents to identify genetic diversity across the genome and within QTL regions. We sequenced each parental cultivar on the Illumina HiSeq platform to a minimum depth of 23 × and performed a reference based assembly in order to describe the molecular variation differentiating them at the scale of the genome, QTL and gene. Genome-wide patterns of variation were characterized by an overall higher single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) density in the A genome and a higher ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous substitutions in the C genome. Nonsynonymous substitutions were used to categorize gene ontology terms differentiating the parent genomes along with a list of putative functional variants contained within each QTL. Marker assays were developed for several of the discovered polymorphisms within a pleiotropic QTL on chromosome A10. QTL analysis with the new, denser map showed the most associated marker to be that developed from an insertion/deletion polymorphism located in the candidate gene Bna.FLC.A10, and it was the only candidate within the QTL interval with observed polymorphism. Together, these results provide a glimpse of genome-wide variation differentiating annual and biennial B. napus ecotypes as well as a better understanding of the genetic basis of root and drought phenotypes.

Published: January 2016

The Heliconius butterflies are a widely studied adaptive radiation of 46 species spread across Central and South America, several of which are known to hybridize in the wild. Here, we present a substantially improved assembly of the Heliconius melpomene genome, developed using novel methods that should be applicable to improving other genome assemblies produced using short read sequencing. First, we whole-genome-sequenced a pedigree to produce a linkage map incorporating 99% of the genome. Second, we incorporated haplotype scaffolds extensively to produce a more complete haploid version of the draft genome. Third, we incorporated ∼20x coverage of Pacific Biosciences sequencing, and scaffolded the haploid genome using an assembly of this long-read sequence. These improvements result in a genome of 795 scaffolds, 275 Mb in length, with an N50 length of 2.1 Mb, an N50 number of 34, and with 99% of the genome placed, and 84% anchored on chromosomes. We use the new genome assembly to confirm that the Heliconius genome underwent 10 chromosome fusions since the split with its sister genus Eueides, over a period of about 6 million yr.
Jėgos ir galios diferenciacija lietuviškajame socialiniame darbe su socialinės rizikos šeimomis

Jėgos ir galios diferenciacija nagrinėta ne vieno autoriaus. Anot H. Arendt, jėga pasireiškia savęs eksponavimu ir save palaiko nuolat rodydamasi ir sukeldama baimę. Galia, atvirkščiai, slepiasi. Galia – išmintingųjų pastangos, leidžiančios neeikvoti energijos kovai, kontrolei ir griovimui, o telkiančios visuomenės narius bendradarbiauti, dalytis savo pasiekimais ir skirti energiją kūrybai ir gyvenimui tobulinti. Straipsnyje pateikiama jėgos ir galios skirtumo raiška per kokybinio tyrimo apie socialinio darbuotojo vaidmenį bendruomenėje analizę. Išlikimo visuomenėje susiformavę socialiniai darbuotojai ir klientai sunkiai skiria jėgą nuo galios. Galios prigimtis socialinė, neatsiejama nuo pasitikėjimo santykio formavimo. Socialinis darbas, grindžiamas jėga, bet ne galia ir įgalinimu, neatitinka savo esmės.
ONLINE SOCIAL NETWORKS THREATS EXPERIENCED BY GIRLS ATTENDING A CHILD DAY CARE CENTRE
Authors: SKALIŠIENĖ Rasa
Published: January 2016

The article analyses the problem of threats experienced on online social networks by girls attending a Child Day Care Centre. In order to reveal what actions carried out by girls on online social networks pose a threat to them, a qualitative study of 20 girls from four Lithuanian Child Day Care Centres was conducted using the focus group method. The results revealed that majority of the girls from the risk group face the following threats to their security: publicizing personal information and sharing it with strangers; communication with strangers online and meeting with them outside the Internet; negative actions of Internet users. The study found that the girls from the risk group fail to recognize the threats of online social networks and do not realize their consequences, and their need to protect themselves in cyberspace is quite weak.

Published: January 2016

Straipsnio tikslas – identifikuoti negalią turinčių moterų diskriminacinę patirtį sveikatos sektoriuje, ypatingą dėmesį skiriant daugialypės diskriminacijos raiškai. Sveikatos sektoriuje dominuoja biomedicininis požiūris į negalią turinčias moteris: pabrėžiamas jų būsenos defektyvumas, o neįgalumas pripažįstamas vienintelis jų asmenybę apibrėžiantis požymis. Ryškiausių daugialypės diskriminacijos apraiškų sveikatos sektoriuje pastebima kalbant apie reprodukcinę sveikatą – čia akivaizdžiausiai susiduria du negalią turinčių moterų tapatybės aspektai – neįgalumas ir moteriškumas. Tapatindamosi su moterimis, negalią turinčios pacientės rūpinasi savo reprodukcine sveikata, nori susilaukti vaikų, tačiau susiduria su kategorišku daugelio medicinos darbuotojų pasipriešinimu, nes šie jose pirmiausia mato negalią, o ne moteriškumą ir motinystę.
Vaikų globos namų deinstitucionalizacija Lietuvoje: ar „vežimas“ judės į priekį?

Published: January 2016

Straipsnyje nagrinėjama vaikų globos namų deinstitucionalizacijos problema Lietuvoje, pateikiamos kai kurių globos namų socialinių darbuotojų įžvalgos ir patirtys šiuo pereinamuoju laikotarpiu. Institucinė vaiko globa pastaraisiais metais kritikuojama kaip ydinga vaiko visapusiškam vystymuisi ir ugdymui, tačiau pastebima, kad prasidėjusi sistemos pertvarka yra sudėtingas procesas, pastaraisiais metais daugiausia stringantis dėl politinės valios stokos, dalyvaujančių subjektų (valdžios institucijų, globos namų, bendruomenių, mokslininkų) aktyvaus ir darnaus veikimo bei bendradarbiavimo trūkumo. Kartu akivaizdu, kad vaikų globos namų deinstitualizacija yra nacionalinio lygmens problema ir šis procesas neįmanomas be didesnio visos visuomenės įsitraukimo ir žmonių sąmoningumo pokyčių.

Growth Stage Influences Mesotrione Efficacy and Fate in Two Bluegrass (Poa) Species
Authors: Yu Jialin , McCullough Patrick E.
Published: January 2016

Mesotrione provides PRE and early POST control of annual bluegrass during Kentucky bluegrass establishment from seed, but applications do not effectively control multitiller plants. The physiological effects of growth stage on efficacy and the basis of mesotrione selectivity between species is not well understood. The objectives of this research were to evaluate mesotrione behavior in these species at three growth stages: pretiller (3 to 5 leaves), 1-tiller, and multitiller (5 to 7 tillers). In greenhouse experiments, a single mesotrione application at 280 g ai ha−1injured pretiller, 1-tiller, and multitiller annual bluegrass 54, 33, and 11% at 4 wk after initial treatment (WAIT), respectively. A sequential application of mesotrione increased injury to pretiller and 1-tiller annual bluegrass by 20 and 17% from a single treatment, respectively. Sequential mesotrione applications caused at least 14% injury to multitiller annual bluegrass and Kentucky bluegrass at all growth stages and did not reduce tillering compared to the nontreated. Annual bluegrass absorbed 34% more root-applied14C-mesotrione than Kentucky bluegrass in hydroponic culture, but relative differences (Bq g−1) among growth stages were not detected for both species. Averaged across growth stages, annual and Kentucky bluegrass absorbed 31 and 35% of the applied radioactivity after foliar treatments, respectively. However, averaged across species, multitiller plants metabolized approximately two times more14C-mesotrione than pretiller and 1-tiller plants. Overall, the selectivity of mesotrione for annual bluegrass control during Kentucky bluegrass establishment results from differential levels of root absorption. Mesotrione has limited efficacy for controlling multitiller annual bluegrass due to enhanced degradation compared to pretiller and 1-tiller plants.

Planning Order and Self-Organisation. The Regulation of Competition and Spatial Relations in Interwar Transport Expertise

Planning practices in high modernity are often analysed as authoritarian and topdown interventions. This interpretation is derived from the concentration on largescale planning projects. By investigating small-scale and everyday transport planning examples, this article tries to enhance our understanding of high modern planning practices. Transport planning during the interwar years was meant to establish a transport regime in which all means of transport were put into a rational relation to each other. This was only possible by building up a spatial order in which different spatial functions – connecting places, opening up regions and structuring spaces – were placed in a hierarchical order. Hence, the planned spaces often displayed a hierarchy of top-down and bottom-up organisational patterns. This should by no means be regarded as a form of pre-postmodern fascination for self-organisation of order out of chaos. On the contrary, these planning projects, too, reveal strictly defined power relations, even if their objectives and methods cannot be put on a par with famous large-scale projects.
Denkende staatsamptenare vir 'n beter samelewing
Authors: Wessels J
Published: January 2016

Hierdie artikel besin oor hoe denke 'n grondvlakstaatsamptenaar in staat kan stel om 'n betekenisvolle bydrae tot 'n beter samelewing te maak. Met behulp van 'n nie-empiriese konseptuele navorsingsontwerp word die begrippe "denke", "grondvlakstaatsamptenaar", "diskresie", "betekenisvolle bydrae" en "beter samelewing" ontleed. Uit die ontleding blyk dit onder meer dat 'n betekenisvolle bydrae deur 'n grondvlakstaatsamptenaar die resultaat is van 'n wilsbesluit waarvan die nalatenskap van 'n beter samelewing moontlik eers in die toekoms sigbaar sal wees. Dit blyk voorts dat 'n grondvlakstaatsamptenaar sonder reflekterende en beoordelende denke oor 'n beter samelewing kwalik 'n betekenisvolle bydrae kan bedink. Hierdie twee nuanses van denke blyk onderliggend te wees aan die kritiese en berekenende denke wat nodig is vir die neem van goeie en sorgsame diskresionêre besluite ter verbetering van die lewensomstandighede van die grootste deel van die samelewing. 'n Kernvraag is egter of grondvlakstaatsamptenare oor die wil beskik om diskresionêre besluite te neem wat die toekoms van vele positief kan beïnvloed.
Biblioteke en vrede: 'n kritiese besinning oor die rol van biblioteke in vredestigting
Authors: Lor P , Britz J
Published: January 2016

Daar word dikwels aangeneem, byvoorbeeld in uitsprake van UNESCO, dat biblioteke deur die voorsiening van inligting bydra tot begrip, verdraagsaamheid en vrede. Ons bevraagteken hierdie aannames. Op grond van 'n besinning oor die begrip "vrede", handhaaf ons vir die doeleindes van die analise die konsep van positiewe vrede en sien ons dit as dinamies (prosesse) eerder as staties ('n toestand). Dit hou in dat strukturele en kontekstuele faktore in ag geneem moet word, dus ook onder andere maatskaplike geregtigheid en versoening. Vervolgens ontleed ons die aannames dat biblioteke tot opvoeding bydra en inligting verskaf, dat inligting kennis en begrip bevorder, en dat begrip vir ander tot vrede lei. Ons bevind dat die idee dat inligting tot vrede lei 'n erge oorvereenvoudiging is. Demokrasie, vrede en vryheid is inderdaad afhanklik van die vrye vloei van inligting, maar die verband tussen inligting en vrede bestaan uit 'n hele reeks oorsaak-en-gevolg verhoudings. Implikasies vir biblioteke se versamelings en dienste word kortliks ondersoek, en klem word daarop geplaas dat die biblioteek behoort uit te beweeg na die gemeenskap om sowel direk as indirek tot vrede by te dra. Ons verwys in die besonder na openbare biblioteke. 'n Meer aktiewe rol in vredestigting het belangrike implikasies vir die professionele etos van die bibliotekaris. Indien die tradisionele "neutraliteit" van die bibliotekaris plek moet maak vir groter maatskaplike betrokkenheid sal bibliotekarisse deur bewusmaking en opleiding daarvoor toegerus moet word.
Barriers Experienced by Middle School Students in the Process of Learning English
Authors: Çelik Özlem , Kocaman Orhan
Published: January 2016

English has gained a significant role in technological, business, economic or political areas and has been a part of educational policies in different countries. However, many learners of English have difficulties in learning and using the language effectively due to a number of reasons. Accordingly, a descriptive study was conducted in order to investigate what kind of foreign language (English) learning problems the middle school students experience in Turkey. A total of 164 (92 female and 72 male) middle school students (5th, 6th, 7th, 8th grade) in 4 public schools in Sakarya, Turkey participated in the study. The data were collected through an open-ended question and semi-structured interviews. The collected data were analyzed and coded thematically. The results have indicated that middle school students mostly face linguistic, instructional, affective barriers as well as lack of assistance and useful resource. Considering the findings, some possible reasons and suggestions were also provided to help teachers and learners overcome the relevant barriers in learning English as a foreign language (EFL) in Turkey

Review of dissertation «The Relationship Between Identified Gifted and Talented Children and Their Parents» by Brian J. Welsh
Authors: Florova N.B.
Published: January 2016

This review points out that experts still do not clearly understand the perception of gifted children be their parents and the way the last build relations in the «parent-children " system. Parents of gifted children clearly need special family resources that might contribute to the progress of their children in future. Such resources are a key to the success of these children at the family level and are commonly - family habits, strategies, values, and ways of life. This study is phenomenological because it describes the qualitative parameters-internal mutual coupling of a certain number of factors in the system, «families with gifted children». It was held in families with gifted children of the middle school age, with the help of interviews and archival data. The author of the research studied the totality of the factors affecting the life experiences of the participants. It discovered that parents are the most powerful force in ensuring the successful training, socialization, emotional well-being of children. Such methods can be showcased on the educational process, in which gifted students are the potential leaders, researchers, physicians, and scientists. The author emphasizes that in the course of work on the topic he himself deeper realized the role of parents' experiences in educational, social and emotional formation of children. The basis for the concept of the study are the following determined groups of factors: a) emotional (positive and negative aspects and feeling), b) social, (academic achievements).
Effect of Yoga-Based Intervention in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Authors: Sharma Purnima , Poojary Gopal , Dwivedi Sada Nand , Deepak Kishore Kumar
Published: January 2016

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic illness characterized by gross inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract that can result in symptoms such as abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhea, and bloody stools. IBD is believed to be influenced by psychological factors such as stress and anxiety. Therefore, a yoga intervention that reduces stress and anxiety may be an effective complementary treatment for these disorders.

Material and Methods: A total of 100 IBD patients [ulcerative colitis (UC) n = 60 and Crohn's disease (CD) n = 40] during the clinical remission phase of disease were included in the study. These patients were allocated randomly to either the yoga group that underwent an 8-week yoga intervention (physical postures, pranayama, and meditation) 1- hour/day in addition to standard medical therapy (UC, n = 30; CD, n = 20) or the control group (UC, n = 30; CD n = 20), which continued with standard medical therapy alone. The main outcome measures were cardiovascular autonomic functions, serum eosinophilic cationic protein, interleukin- 2 soluble receptors, Speilberger's State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) scores, and clinical symptoms.

Results: Before the intervention, all the outcome measures were comparable in the two groups. After the 8-week yoga intervention, fewer UC patients reported arthralgia. The number of patients reporting intestinal colic pain in the control group was higher. State and trait anxiety levels were significantly reduced in patients with UC. However, no significant changes were observed in cardiovascular autonomic functions, eosinophilic cationic proteins, or interleukin-2 soluble receptors.

Conclusions: A simplified yoga-based regimen is a safe and effective complementary clinical treatment modality for patients with inflammatory bowel disease during the clinical remission phase.
Yoga Therapy: Building a Holding Environment for Somatic and Psyche Change
Authors: McClure Bud
Published: January 2016

Drawing on ideas from D.W. Winnicott and the work of Quaker theologian Parker Palmer, this article discusses the concept of a holding environment, its refined understanding in the literature over the years, and how it can be optimally used in yoga therapy. The evidence shows that effectively establishing a holding environment can facilitate both somatic and deep structural change in a client, facilitating healing from primal wounding as well as the potential reconnection to the true self.

El desenvolvimiento  histórico de los partidos en el sistema  político  argentino y sus cambios desde   el  inicio   de  la  redemocratización    de 1983  son  el tema  de este ensayo.  Dos dimensiones  evalúan  este desempeño: la relevancia de  las cuestiones  relacionadas  con  "la política" y la organización  de  las "políticas   estatales".

Una elite dentro de otra elite : el casino Español de México entre el porfiriato y la revolución (1875-1915)
Authors: Herrera-Lasso Ana Lía
Published: January 2016

El presente artículo hace referencia al grupo de españoles que conformaron el Casino Espanol de México. La tesis central gira en torno a la idea de que este ruicleo pasó, de un pequeño círculo de hombres españoles, a ser un importante y numeroso grupo cuyas relaciones con la elite política, económica y social de México fueron muy estrechas. Así, se puede hablar de una elite de españoles relacionados con la elite mexicana y diferenciados del resto de los españoles que vivian en México

Dramatización en la narrativa del converso
Authors: Fortuny Loret de Mola Patricia
Published: January 2016

El objetivo de este documento es destacar la importancia del lenguaje en la conversión religiosa y analizar la forma en que el converso transforrna la memoria en la narrativa de la conversión. El creyente recrea y reinventa la memoria a partir de su conversión, que se expresa a través del "lenguaje o retórica religiosa". El uso reiterativo de esta constituye además un elemento central en el proceso de autoconvencimiento. Ilustro esta discusión con material empírico de casos de conversión a religiones protestantes.

Governo Sarney: dilemas e virtudes de una transição negociada
Authors: Meneguello Rachel
Published: January 2016

Pese a las trabas que impuso la reforma del Estado, dentro de la transición los partidos retomaron un lugar central en el desarrollo de los procesos políticos. Al analizar el gobierno de Sarney, se pone énfasis en cambios institucionales: la reforma partidaria de 1985 y la Constitución de 1988 . Se examinan los límites de la relación entre ejecutivo y legislativo, en especial en el papel de la composición del federal, y se aborda la búsqueda de la gobernabilidad, marcada por una simbiosis entre estabilidad del regimen y reformas políticas.
