Retrospective Analysis of Studies Examining Sensory Processing Preferences in People With a Psychiatric Condition
Authors: Brown Catana , Karim Rebecca , Steuter Megan
Published: June 2020

Importance: When occupational therapists understand sensory processing preferences, they can create environments that promote participation.

Objective: To determine the sensory processing preferences of people with a psychiatric condition as measured by the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (A/ASP).

Data Sources: PubMed, PsycINFO, ERIC, CINAHL, and OTseeker were searched from 2002 through January 2018.

Study Selection and Data Collection: Studies that included people with psychiatric conditions and measured sensory processing preferences using the A/ASP were included. Studies had to report means and standard deviations for all four A/ASP subscales. The retrospective analysis involved extracting sensory processing quadrant scores from each study and comparing these scores with the A/ASP norms by means of independent-samples t tests.

Findings: Five studies revealed a general pattern of greater sensory sensitivity, sensation avoiding, and low registration and less sensation seeking among people with a psychiatric condition. For each condition (schizophrenia, high risk for psychosis, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress, and obsessive–compulsive disorder), scores in at least two of the four sensory processing quadrants were significantly different from the normative scores, with some variability in sensory processing preferences across the psychiatric conditions.

Conclusions and Relevance: The sensory processing preferences of people with a psychiatric condition differ from those of the normative sample. This research can lead to condition-specific sensory-based interventions targeting a person’s specific sensory needs in the context of occupational performance.

What This Article Adds: This article provides new information that compares and contrasts the sensory processing preferences of people with different types of psychiatric conditions. This information can be useful in treatment planning.

Making progress in the SDGs requires substantial additional resources. Concomitant with
the reform priorities identified by the United Nations, World Bank, European Union, and other
international development institutions, the mission estimates additional spending of
18 percentage points of GDP by 2030—a level higher than the average low-income and
developing countries. Relative to other low-income and developing countries, additional
spending is higher in education and water and sanitation, and lower in health, electricity, and
roads (Figure).

During the three-year EFF which expired at end-May, Mongolia experienced rapid economic growth and was able to make some progress in the reduction of key vulnerabilities. However, with the outbreak of the global pandemic, the outlook has now deteriorated sharply. There are few domestic cases of the virus, but real GDP is expected to contract by 1 percent in 2020 due to a collapse in external demand and the domestic impact of social distancing measures. With still high public debt, net international reserves near zero, and a difficult near-term amortization schedule, Mongolia has limited buffers to withstand a large and sustained external shock.
Evaluating the impact of blowing-snow sea salt aerosol on springtime BrO and O3 in the Arctic

Published: June 2020

Abstract. We use the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model to examine the
influence of bromine release from blowing-snow sea salt aerosol (SSA) on
springtime bromine activation and O3 depletion events (ODEs) in the
Arctic lower troposphere. We evaluate our simulation against observations of
tropospheric BrO vertical column densities (VCDtropo) from the GOME-2 (second Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment)
and Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) spaceborne instruments for 3 years (2007–2009), as well as
against surface observations of O3. We conduct a simulation with
blowing-snow SSA emissions from first-year sea ice (FYI; with a surface snow
salinity of 0.1 psu) and multi-year sea ice (MYI; with a surface snow
salinity of 0.05 psu), assuming a factor of 5 bromide enrichment of surface
snow relative to seawater. This simulation captures the magnitude of
observed March–April GOME-2 and OMI VCDtropo to within 17 %, as well
as their spatiotemporal variability (r=0.76–0.85). Many of the large-scale
bromine explosions are successfully reproduced, with the exception of events
in May, which are absent or systematically underpredicted in the model. If
we assume a lower salinity on MYI (0.01 psu), some of the bromine explosions
events observed over MYI are not captured, suggesting that blowing snow over
MYI is an important source of bromine activation. We find that the modeled
atmospheric deposition onto snow-covered sea ice becomes highly enriched in
bromide, increasing from enrichment factors of ∼5 in
September–February to 10–60 in May, consistent with composition observations of freshly fallen snow. We propose that this progressive enrichment in
deposition could enable blowing-snow-induced halogen activation to propagate
into May and might explain our late-spring underestimate in VCDtropo.
We estimate that the atmospheric deposition of SSA could increase snow salinity
by up to 0.04 psu between February and April, which could be an important
source of salinity for surface snow on MYI as well as FYI covered by deep
snowpack. Inclusion of halogen release from blowing-snow SSA in our
simulations decreases monthly mean Arctic surface O3 by 4–8 ppbv
(15 %–30 %) in March and 8–14 ppbv (30 %–40 %) in April. We reproduce a
transport event of depleted O3 Arctic air down to 40∘ N
observed at many sub-Arctic surface sites in early April 2007. While our
simulation captures 25 %–40 % of the ODEs observed at coastal Arctic surface
sites, it underestimates the magnitude of many of these events and entirely
misses 60 %–75 % of ODEs. This difficulty in reproducing observed surface
ODEs could be related to the coarse horizontal resolution of the model, the
known biases in simulating Arctic boundary layer exchange processes, the
lack of detailed chlorine chemistry, and/or the fact that we did not include
direct halogen activation by snowpack chemistry.
Measuring the location and width of the Antarctic grounding zone using CryoSat-2
Authors: Dawson Geoffrey J. , Bamber Jonathan L.
Published: June 2020

Abstract. We present the results of mapping the limit of the tidal flexure (point F) and hydrostatic equilibrium (point H) of the grounding zone of Antarctic ice shelves from CryoSat-2 standard and swath elevation data. Overall we were able to map 31 % of the grounding zone of the Antarctic floating ice shelves and outlet glaciers. We obtain near-complete coverage of the Filchner–Ronne Ice Shelf. Here we manage to map areas of Support Force Glacier and the Doake Ice Rumples, which have previously only been mapped using break-in-slope methods. Over the Ross Ice Shelf, Dronning Maud Land and the Antarctic Peninsula, we obtained partial coverage, and we could not map a continuous grounding zone for the Amery Ice Shelf and the Amundsen Sea sector. Tidal amplitude and distance south (i.e. across-track spacing) are controlling factors in the quality of the coverage and performance of the approach. The location of the point F agrees well with previous observations that used differential satellite radar interferometry (DInSAR) and ICESat-1, with an average landward bias of 0.1 and 0.6 km and standard deviation of 1.1 and 1.5 km for DInSAR and ICESat measurements, respectively. We also compared the results directly with DInSAR interferograms from the Sentinel-1 satellites, acquired over the Evans Ice Stream and the Carlson Inlet (Ronne Ice Shelf), and found good agreement with the mapped points F and H. We also present the results of the spatial distribution of the grounding zone width (the distance between points F and H) and used a simple elastic beam model, along with ice thickness calculations, to calculate an effective Young modulus of ice of E=1.4±0.9 GPa.
Del compromiso ciudadano a la coproducción. Análisis del concepto y casos de la administración pública
Authors: Piqueiras Conlledo Paloma
Published: June 2020

La crisis económica del 2008 desencadenó un periodo de austeridad y desafíos socioeconómicos. Para la Administración Pública esto supuso, al menos, tres retos: a) mantener el mismo nivel de excelencia contando con menos recursos (Luoma-aho, 2007); b) sortear los problemas para satisfacer las demandas de la población (Thomas, 2013) y; c) afrontar la pérdida de confianza de los ciudadanos (Eurofound, 2013). La situación financiera obligó al sector público a repensar su forma de relacionarse con los ciudadanos. Esta investigación, basándose en la teoría de los bienes intangibles (Canel y Luoma-aho, 2017), estudia las diferencias entre el Compromiso Ciudadano y las fórmulas de coproducción y aporta sugerencias para el desarrollo de la cooperación entre instituciones públicas y ciudadanos.
Innovación pública: una propuesta de análisis de los factores que inciden en los procesos de innovación en el sector público local
Authors: Mairal Medina Pilar
Published: June 2020

La innovación pública es un objeto de investigación emergente que ofrece distintos enfoques para analizar el cambio en las organizaciones del sector público. El ámbito local ha demostrado sus capacidades creativas en este sentido cada vez son más las experiencias de interés relacionadas con el diseño de políticas públicas, el establecimiento de retos y prioridades políticas, y la mejora de los servicios públicos. Sin embargo, y pese a la emergente aparición de espacios no estatales ligados a experiencias innovadoras de participación social, generalmente las administraciones públicas identifican las innovaciones con la integración tecnológica y la transformación cultural de estas organizaciones parece no identificarse con los procesos de innovación.

El artículo resume los principales factores identificados en un estudio empírico que delimitan la percepción de los procesos de innovación pública local y sus resultados, delimitando los condicionantes de estos procesos y los retos que plantean en las organizaciones públicas.
Fronting in Old Spanish
Authors: Batllori Montserrat , Sitaridou Ioanna
Published: June 2020

The article focuses on a cross-genre study of fronting phenomena in 13th Century Old Spanish. In particular, we study stage topics and deictic fronting, fronting in quotative inversion, quantifier fronting and information/broad/weak focus fronting comparatively, for the first time, in three types of texts (that is, (a) Cantar de Mío Cid, (b) La Fazienda de Ultra Mar, and (c) Estoria de España and General Estoria) while we compare with equivalent judgements from Modern Spanish in order to establish what exactly has changed. “Fronting” a term which has been used to describe all sorts of configurations ranging from stylistic fronting to focus fronting to non-focus fronting receives here a principled discussion. We show that, overall, fronting with a verum focus interpretation has largely been preserved into Modern Spanish, albeit often restricted, while the most notable change seems to be the loss of a preverbal focus position conveying broad focus. In doing so, we reconcile Leonetti’s (2017) claims for an informational partition, which does not divide the fronted element from the verb, but, rather, the fronted element together with the verb from the postverbal subject with our own claims about the syntactic mechanisms which yield this partition. We proceed to conclude that fronting operations are not a derivative of the V2 parameter being operative (contra Wolfe 2015).

El presente artículo de innovación educativa surge de un proceso de reflexión pedagógica que tuvo como objetivo utilizar la simulación como estrategia didáctica para desarrollar competencias pedagógicas en docentes en formación del área de ciencias sociales en la asignatura Prácticas de Especialización de la carrera Ciencias Sociales. La metodología consistió en desarrollar un estudio mixto, con énfasis en lo cualitativo, aplicando técnicas de investigación como observación, encuesta y entrevistas a la unidad de análisis de la investigación que estuvo compuesta por veintiocho estudiantes matriculados en la asignatura. La intervención didáctica dio como resultados el desarrollo de las diez competencias docentes planteadas en la asignatura, lo cual se evidenció en las simulaciones que los estudiantes realizaron durante el curso de la asignatura. Este estudio demuestra que la simulación es una estrategia didáctica que favorece la formación de profesionales de la educación y que permite que los protagonistas asuman roles semejantes a los que deben asumir en la realidad y por ende, apropiarse del rol, conocimientos, actitudes, valores y habilidades que el medio requiere para desempeñarse efectivamente.
Evaluación del impacto de las aguas residuales domésticas y semi-industriales sobre la calidad físico-química del río Chiquito, León, en el período de mayo 2016-enero 2017
Authors: Esquivel Quezada Jorge Luis , Lacayo Romero Martha
Published: June 2020

El presente estudio evaluó el impacto de las aguas residuales sobre la calidad físico-química de dos sitios de muestreo, aguas arriba y aguas abajo, en un transecto seleccionado del Río Chiquito de la ciudad de León. Se tomaron muestras durante cuatro campañas de muestreo, dos en época lluviosa y dos en época seca. Quince parámetros físico-químicos y doce metales, metaloides y no metales fueron comparados con directrices nacionales (NTON) e internacionales (U.S.EPA, CCME, NOM, INEN y FAO). Se utilizó el Software canadiense WQI 1.2 para evaluar integralmente la calidad del agua basado en un índice de calidad (CWQI), para distintos usos del agua: protección para la vida acuática, e irrigación. Sobresalieron elevados niveles de contaminación por sólidos suspendidos, materia orgánica (aceites y grasas, DBO y DQO, turbidez), nutrientes (amonio, hierro) y metales como el Al, Cr3+, Cu, Mn, Se, V y Zn. El índice de calidad de agua categorizó el sitio aguas arriba como marginal a regular y pobre para aguas abajo, lo que implica que estuvo casi siempre amenazada y se apartó en la mayoría de los casos de los niveles deseables para los usos específicos a los cuales se sometió. Según CONAGUA, la calidad del agua se encontró deteriorada clasificándola de Contaminadas a Fuertemente Contaminadas para ambos sitios, prevaleciendo la materia orgánica, implicando contaminación por descargas de aguas residuales municipales y de tenerías. Se detectó Cromo hexavalente en mayo en el sitio aguas arriba lo que hace más tóxica el agua de esta zona, y la mayoría de cromo presente está en estado reducido.
Re-Os PYRITE GEOCHRONOLOGY OF THE YELLOWHEAD-TYPE MINERALIZATION, PEND OREILLE MINE, KOOTENAY ARC, METALINE DISTRICT, WASHINGTON
Authors: Paradis Suzanne , Hnatyshin Danny , Simandl George J. , Creaser Robert A.
Published: June 2020

Pend Oreille, a carbonate-hosted Zn-Pb sulfide deposit, is the only base metal mine recently in production within the historically prolific Kootenay arc belt. The deposit consists of two spatially and lithologically distinct types of stratabound, carbonate-hosted Zn-Pb mineralization: Josephine and Yellowhead. The Yellowhead-type sulfide mineralization, the focus of this study, consists of en échelon tabular to lensoidal pyrite-sphalerite–rich orebodies hosted by the middle Cambrian to Early Ordovician Metaline Formation. The Yellowhead-type mineralization is characterized by carbonate replacement and open-space filling textures, indicating diagenetic and epigenetic origin. As with most low-temperature deposits not directly associated with igneous activity, the timing of sulfide mineralization has traditionally been difficult to constrain using radiometric methods.

In this study, we present a new Re-Os age of 512 ± 17 Ma from the Yellowhead mineralization. Combining this age date with the Cambrian-Ordovician fossil record of the host Metaline Formation and detailed textural analysis of the mineralization, we conclude that the Yellowhead sulfide mineralization is largely diagenetic in origin. Such an origin for the Yellowhead mineralization is similar to that of Irish-type deposits worldwide. For explorationists, the presence of Irish-type deposits in the United States portion of the Kootenay arc opens the possibility of discovering similar mineralization in the Canadian extension of the Kootenay arc.
Application of Rasch Model on Resilience in Higher Education: An Examination of Validity and Reliability of Malaysian Academician Happiness Index (MAHI)

Published: June 2020

This preliminary study was conducted to examine and verify the validity and reliability of the instrument on the Malaysian Academician Happiness Index (MAHI) on resilience. MAHI could be seen as a tool to measure the level of happiness and stress of academicians before determining how resilient the academicians were. Resilience can be defined as a mental ability of a person to recover quickly from illness or depression. MAHI instrument consisted of 66 items. The instrument was distributed to 40 academicians from three groups of universities which were the Focus University, Comprehensive University and Research University is using a survey technique. The instrument was developed to measure three main constructs which were the organization, individual and social that would affect the happiness and stress levels of academicians. This preliminary study employed the Rasch Measurement Model uses Winsteps software version 3.69.1.11. to examine the validity and reliability of the items. The results of the analysis of the MAHI instrument showed that the item reliability was 0.87, person reliability was 0.83 and value of Alpha Cronbach was 0.84. Meanwhile, misfit analysis showed that only there was one item with 1.46 logit that could be considered for dropping or needed improvement. Therefore, it highlighted that most of the items met the constructs’ need and can be used as a measurement indicator of MAHI. The implication of this instrument can help Malaysian academicians to be more resilient in facing challenges in the future.
Are Carbon Prices Redundant in the 2030 EU Climate and Energy Policy Package?
Authors: Aune Finn Roar , Golombek Rolf
Published: June 2020

In 2018, an agreement between the key EU institutions—the Commission, the European Parliament, and the European Council—was reached after a long-lasting discourse over the 2030 EU climate and energy policy package. This paper offers a comprehensive assessment of the EU package, with its three main targets: lower greenhouse gas emissions, higher renewable share in final energy consumption, and improved energy efficiency. We find that the renewable and energy efficiency targets have been set so high that the derived emissions reduction (50 percent) exceeds the EU climate target (40 percent). Hence, there is no need for an EU climate policy, for example, to use carbon prices to reach the EU climate goals. It is, however, not cost-efficient to achieve the climate target by imposing the three EU targets. We demonstrate that a cost-efficient policy that obtains a 50 percent GHG emissions reduction would increase annual welfare (relative to the Reference scenario) by an amount corresponding to 0.6 percent of GDP in Europe.

Kulturnationalismus. Wir-Krise und Nationalstaat
Authors: Reicher Dieter
Published: June 2020

Will the nation state become obsolete? Many facts support the opposite assumption that nation states will actually continue to dominate 21st century politics. However, in many Western countries images of ‘We’ and ‘Us’ in relation to the nation have become the subject of heated debates, leading eventually to a real or potential identity crisis. In this context, some are using concepts of ‘culture’ and ‘nation’ as rhetorical means of distinction, whereas others are rejecting the model of a nation state completely. Thus, both groups are becoming involved in a losing game of fighting for status. This study is based upon historical long-term investigations into four different fields of culture. It focuses on the transformation of national rhetoric, ‘we-images’ and ‘we-feelings’.
La critica dei culti nel teatro del V secolo
Authors: Maggi Lavinia
Published: June 2020

The aim of the book is to discuss the religious aspect of Aristophanes’ criticism of euripidean tragedy as found in “Thesmophoriazusae” and “Frogs” and to provide a comparative study of Aristophanes’ and Euripides’ religiosity. Euripides’ tragedies which Aristophanes parodies (or simply hints at) seem to be all especially representative of Euripides’ thoughts about religion, in particular of his peculiar interest in ‘foreign’ cults (such as those of Dionysus or of the Mother of Gods) and in Orphism. Contrary to scholarly consensus, then, Aristophanes’ Euripides is not an atheist imbued with sophistic theories: rather, he emerges as the champion of an alternative form of religiosity. Against the backdrop of Euripides’ strange cults, Aristophanes emphasizes his own religiosity, deeply rooted in the traditions of the Athenian polis: Aeschylus’ victory in the poetic agon of the “Frogs” is also the victory of the Mysteries of Eleusis over Euripides’ exotic and unorthodox beliefs.
Proposal for management and dermoscopy follow-up of nevi in patients affected by oculocutaneous albinism type Ia
Authors: Peralta Rosario , Cohen Sabban Emilia , Friedman Paula , Marcucci Carolina , Bollea Garlatti Luis A. , Galimberti Gastón , Cabo Horacio
Published: June 2020

Albino patients are at great risk for developing cutaneous neoplasms, including melanomas. In this paper we describe the dermatoscopic findings of nevi in two patients with oculocutaneous albinism type Ia (OCA-Ia) highlighting that they manifest a vascular pattern similar to that described for amelanotic melanoma. We propose managing these patients with dermoscopy, using the comparative approach, digital follow up (DFU), and reflectance confocal microscopy as a complementary tool for difficult cases.
Dermoscopic and confocal features of an axillary “special site” nevus
Authors: Dutt Riana , Rabinovitz Harold S. , Singh Rajendra , Scope Alon
Published: June 2020

“Nevi of special sites” is a term that denotes melanocytic nevi presenting in specific anatomic locations including the scalp, genital area, flexural sites, and acral sites [1]. Nevi from these anatomic sites display at times histopathologic features that may lead the reading pathologist to recommend re-excision of these benign nevi. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is a noninvasive imaging tool that allows for visualization of epidermal, dermal-epidermal junctional (DEJ), and superficial dermal tissue structures at cellular level resolution. RCM features of special site nevi have not been previously described in the literature. Defining the RCM characteristics of special site nevi may increase diagnostic accuracy and assist in ruling out melanoma.

Here, we report a case of a pigmented lesion appearing in the axilla of a patient with a recently diagnosed melanoma. Dermoscopic and histopathologic results were consistent with the diagnosis of nevus in flexural anatomic sites. In this case, RCM showed a regular honeycomb pattern of epidermal keratinocytes and enlarged, non-homogenous, discohesive nests at the DEJ, a pattern that corresponded well with the histopathologic findings. Larger studies are needed to establish RCM features of special site nevi in order to reliably rule out melanoma and lower the rate of unnecessary excisions of these benign nevi.
Update on Dermoscopy and Infectious Skin Diseases
Authors: Piccolo Vincenzo
Published: June 2020

Nowadays, dermoscopy is a global worldwide diffuse diagnostic tool supporting clinicians in their daily hard task of correct orientation among dermatological diseases. Born to be an instrument for early diagnosis of skin cancer, the dermatoscope is now considered the dermatologist’s stethoscope, as it can be routinely used to support diagnosis in general dermatology, so spreading its utility in cutaneous inflammatory and infectious diseases, as adjuvant and not substitute to histology and potassium hydroxide examination. As concerns the latter, plenty of papers have been published since the first description of dermoscopic findings of scabies. The aim of this review is to give the clinician a practical approach to dermoscopic parameters of cutaneous infectious diseases with a focus on the latest updates in this topic.
Nails: The Window to the Nose? Update on Yellow Nail Syndrome
Authors: Vollono Laura , Chessa Marco Adriano , Bruno Antonio , Starace Michela , Alessandrini Aurora , Piraccini Bianca Maria
Published: June 2020

Background: Yellow nail syndrome is a rare condition characterized by typical nail alterations and variable presence of lymphedema and respiratory disease. The pathogenesis is still obscure, with most of the literature deriving from case reports and few investigations. The most reported respiratory conditions associated with yellow nail syndrome are pleural effusion and bronchiectasis, whereas association with rhinosinusitis is rarer.

Objectives: To describe a case of yellow nail syndrome and to provide a literature review regarding this condition, discussing pathogenetic hypothesis, associated conditions, and therapeutic options.

Patients/Methods: A 49-year-old man presented with arrested growth and alterations of his nails, without any history of previous trauma or inflammation but with a severe nasal septum deviation and a history of chronic rhinosinusitis. A diagnosis of yellow nail syndrome was made.

Results: Six months after undergoing rhinoseptoplasty and treatment with oral vitamin E, the patient’s nails were cured.

Conclusions: This case emphasizes the role of the dermatologist in detecting systemic conditions. The correct diagnosis led to complete resolution of both nail alterations and associated respiratory condition.

Published: June 2020

Taxonomic work on the land snail genus Sarika Godwin-Austen, 1907 in Cambodia is scarce. A total of three species were recognized from Cambodia prior to this study. However, their taxonomic descriptions were based mainly on shell morphology, with limited genital data. To address this knowledge gap, we opportunistically surveyed for land snails in Cambodia. Our inventory yielded four species of Sarika – one recognized species, Sarika bocourti (Morelet, 1875), from Battambang Province and three new species, Sarika khmeriana Pholyotha & Panha sp. nov., Sarika lactoconcha Pholyotha & Panha sp. nov. and Sarika nana Pholyotha & Panha sp. nov. from Kampot and Takeo Provinces in southern Cambodia. Our discovery involves the first species of Sarika to be described from Cambodia in more than a century highlights the extent to which the diversity of Cambodian land snails remains to be discovered. The status of two species, Sarika benoiti (Crosse & Fischer, 1863) and Sarika resplendens (Philippi, 1846), is at present ambiguous because no material identifiable as these species was found in recent extensive surveys. Although S. bocourti was recently collected from Cambodia, its taxonomic position remained unclear due to a lack of living specimens. Detailed descriptions and illustrations of living animals, shell morphology and reproductive anatomy are provided, and a map showing their distributions is given.

Com a revitalização urbana na região portuária da cidade do Rio de Janeiro como parte do Projeto Porto Maravilha, iniciado em 2011, ocorreu a descoberta de sinais de um antigo cemitério de escravizados. Diante disso, organizações do movimento negro passaram a atuar para a preservação do local e também para que houvesse homenagem aos antepassados no espaço público. A partir de pesquisa qualitativa, uso de documentos e vídeos, contemplo como foi tornado corrente o uso de categorias relacionadas à investigação da verdade e promoção de reparação, para discutir a escravidão e o tráfico transatlântico. Além disso, cerimônias religiosas foram realizadas, a fim de reconhecer a energia do lugar e a força dos ancestrais, contribuindo para a composição local do debate acerca das tragédias e dores históricas.
La Red de Familiares contra la Tortura y otras Violencias Estatales (CPM): sangre y reencantamiento del activismo.
Authors: Aparicio Matias Javier
Published: June 2020

En febrero de 2017 se constituye la Red de Familiares contra la Tortura y otras Violencias Estatales, que reúne a un amplio y diverso conjunto de agrupaciones bajo la órbita de la Comisión Provincial por la Memoria (Buenos Aires, Argentina). En este trabajo problematizamos cómo se resignifican distintas figuras y sentidos establecidos del activismo de las víctimas en el campo de los derechos humanos a partir de repertorios, símbolos y experiencias provenientes del mundo religioso (católico, en este caso) que ponen en tensión la noción misma de “familia”, de “comunidad de sangre” y de “militancia”. Estas tensiones y nuevos sentidos emergentes ponen en evidencia un proceso de reencantamiento del activismo de los derechos humanos, construido socialmente como un espacio secularizado.

En este artículo se analiza la multifacética imagen que los socialistas españoles del PSOE tenían de la socialdemocracia alemana durante los años 1972-1977. Esto es, desde el año de la renovación del PSOE hasta la celebración de las primeras elecciones democráticas en España. Para ello se han analizado pormenorizadamente el periódico oficial del PSOE, «Le Socialiste / El Socialista»; la revista de orientación progresista «Cambio16» y documentos del archivo histórico del PSOE emplazados en la Fundación Pablo Iglesias. El estudio de la imagen de la socialdemocracia alemana, además de darnos información sobre este grupo, nos revela aspectos poco explorados del proceso de formación identitaria del PSOE y sobre las disputas políticas e ideológicas existentes dentro del partido.Abstract This article analyses the multifaceted image of the German social democracy held by the Spanish socialists (PSOE) during 1972-1977. This is, from the year in which PSOE was renewed to the first democratic elections in Spain. The analysis is based on PSOE’s official newspaper «Le Socialiste / El Socialista», the progressive journal «Cambio16» and documents from PSOE’s historical archive located at the Pablo Iglesias Foundation. Besides providing information about the image of the German social democracy held by the Spanish socialists, this article reveals unexplored aspects of PSOE’s process of identity formation and of the political and ideological struggles within the party.

rancisco Romero Robledo (1838-1906) fue uno de los artífices de la entronización de Alfonso XII y el advenimiento de la Restauración Borbónica (1875-1931). Como Ministro de la Gobernación al servicio de Antonio Cánovas, en el Partido Conservador, se encargó de garantizar el buen funcionamiento del sistema caciquil en España. Poco antes de morir, enfermo de cáncer, ejercería como Presidente del Congreso de los Diputados (1903-1905). Fue entonces cuando el periodista Azorín solicitó entrevistarse con él, a lo que Romero accedió de buen grado. Tras un fin de semana en casa del cacique, la finca antequerana de «El Romeral» (Málaga), Azorín decidió incumplir su misión, publicando, en lugar de la entrevista, las confidencias del personaje en un entorno informal que molestó a este y sus allegados, y que se analiza con detenimiento en el presente artículo. AbstractFrancisco Romero Robledo (1838-1905) sponsored the coronation of Alfonso XII and the start of the Spanish Restauración Borbónica (1875-1931). As Ministry of Internal Affairs in the government of Antonio Cánovas, head of the Partido Conservador, he guaranteed the proper working of state corruption. Before dying of cancer in 1906, they appointed him chairman of the Parliament. It was then that journalist Azorín asked to interview him. Romero accepted, and after spending a weekend at his home, at the state known as «El Romeral», in Antequera (Malaga), Azorín changed his mind: instead of interviewing the despot, he published an accurate description of Romero’s private conversations that the latter took as an offense. In this article I study the elements that Azorín mentions in that article.

Os incêndios florestais causam inúmeros impactos socioambientais no Brasil e no mundo. A implantação de cortinas de segurança impede a propagação de um incêndio na propriedade e auxilia nas técnicas de combate. Assim, objetivou-se nesta pesquisa, avaliar a inflamabilidade de plantas da Caatinga e sua eficiência como cortinas de segurança na prevenção de incêndios florestais no semiárido paraibano. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida em campo e em laboratório. Em campo, a queima ocorreu em parcelas experimentais de 1m2 contendo 2 kg de material combustível cactáceas, folhosas e acículas de pinus, no qual determinou-se a espessura e volume da manta, umidade do material, frequência e tempo de ignição, tempo de queima, altura da chama, velocidade de propagação, intensidade do fogo, índice de combustibilidade e de severidade, temperatura do material combustível e do solo. No laboratório foi determinado o teor de cinzas e o poder calorífico superior. As cactáceas (Opuntia sp, Cereus jamacaru, Pilosocereus gounellei) apresentaram maiores tempos de ignição e menores tempos de combustão, sendo queimados somente os espinhos. A faveleira (Cnidoscolus quercifolius) não deferiu das cactáceas com relação ao tempo de combustão. O pereiro (Aspidosperma pyrifolium) e a Catingueira (Cenostigma bracteosum) apresentaram índice de severidade modernamente alto, em função do elevado poder calorífico do lenho. As cactáceas e a faveleira apresentaram menores valores de poder calorífico, sendo recomendadas para uso em cortinas de segurança. O pereiro e a catingueira apresentaram diferenças na inflamabilidade entre as partes constituintes das plantas, não sendo recomendadas como cortinas de segurança.

Through excretion, animals return to the soil part of the nutrients they ingest. This input can be an alternative to artificial inorganic fertilization aiming at increasing soil nutrient concentrations in degraded areas that are prone to restoration. In nutrient-poor soils, the addition of animal manure can promote increases in soil fertility, but studies assessing its effects upon plant communities are meager. This study aims at checking whether the addition of manure originated from livestock promotes plant growth increase and enzyme activity in Cerrado native plants of different functional groups as a way to subsidize processes of environmental recuperation in degraded areas using organic fertilization of an easily available source, as animal manure. The experiment was conducted in a screenhouse through a completely randomized design with four manure and six species treatments with three replicates. Manure treatments used were control, cattle, sheep and goat manure. The plant species selected belonged to main Cerrado herbaceous functional groups â€“ two naturalized grasses, two alien invasive grasses, a legume herb and a Malvaceae herb. Phosphorus and nitrogen concentrations, and N:P ratios varied according to the type of manure. Soil organic matter content, phosphorus and potassium concentrations increased upon manure addition. Different manure types promoted various effects in height, biomass and acid phosphatase activity amongst the plants. Goat and cattle manure positively influenced Urochloa decumbens, an exotic invasive grass living in the Cerrado, whereas sheep manure addition promoted increase of non-invasive grasses. These results show that animal manure can promote better nutrient conditions for plants living in degraded areas, but the selection of the manure type for application in restoration projects aiming at aiding plant growth in Cerrado degraded areas will depend on the purpose of the project because different dung types benefit different plant functional groups.

Os camarões de água doce do gênero Macrobrachium (Spence Bate, 1868) encontram-se amplamente distribuídos nas Américas e, numericamente este é o gênero dominante da família Palaemonidae. O Estado do Maranhão não dispõe de trabalhos voltados para crustáceos de água doce, sendo este o primeiro estudo realizado com o objetivo de apresentar informações taxonômicas das espécies registradas, com mapa de ocorrência geográfica, características biológicas e ecológicas, uma chave de identificação do gênero Macrobrachium para o Estado, bem como aspectos de conservação. Para isso, oito riachos do Leste do Maranhão, foram amostrados com puçás, peneiras e rede de arrasto, passados no fundo e na vegetação marginal submersa por um período de 20 minutos em um trecho de 150m. Em laboratório, os espécimes foram identificados, mensurados e sexados. Um total de 526 espécimes foram coletados, distribuídos em cinco espécies, sendo: M. carcinus (N=01), M. olfersii (N=55), M. acanthurus (N=116), M. amazonicum (N=119) e M. jelskii (N=235). Somente em M. acanthurus e M. jelskii foram registradas fêmeas ovígeras, M. jelskii apresentou fecundidades de 1 a 65 ovos, ao passo que para a única fêmea ovígera de M. acanthurus foram contados 662 ovos. Também foi elaborado uma chave de identificação do gênero Macrobrachium para o Maranhão. Assim, confirmou-se os registros destas espécies para o Estado e ampliação da área de distribuição, com mapas de ocorrência.
L’UDC en action ou comment le populisme de droite radicale est mobilisé en Suisse au-delà des campagnes électorales1
Authors: Biard Benjamin
Published: June 2020

Les études sur les partis populistes foisonnent dans la littérature en science politique. Néanmoins, beaucoup d’incertitude caractérise la notion et plusieurs aspects du populisme demeurent inexplorés. Ainsi, si une définition minimale de la notion permet aujourd’hui de faciliter la classification des partis, c’est souvent sur la base des programmes et des discours que ces partis prononcent lors de campagnes électorales que cette classification est effectuée. Or, les partis populistes accèdent de plus en plus aux arènes décisionnelles et il est reconnu qu’ils tendent à adapter leurs stratégies ou leur style politique pour s’y maintenir. Il devient dès lors important de questionner le rôle qu’exercent ces partis lorsqu’ils sont au pouvoir. Parce que peu de travaux ont abordé ce cas et parce qu’il est le parti populiste entretenant le rapport le plus durable et stable avec les pouvoirs exécutif et législatif en Europe, c’est sur l’Union démocratique du centre (UDC) que cette contribution se focalise. À travers une analyse thématique reposant sur des données originales, l’article répond à la question suivante : quel rapport l’UDC en action entretient-elle avec le populisme de droite radicale quand elle est au pouvoir ? L’article interroge le caractère populiste de droite radicale de l’UDC au-delà des périodes de campagne électorale.
L’Internet et les médias sociaux : un effet sur les attitudes des millénariaux canadiens à l’égard de la politique1
Authors: Duguay Philippe A.
Published: June 2020

Cette étude explore la relation entre certains comportements en ligne des millénariaux canadiens et leurs attitudes à l’égard de la politique. Nous utilisons les données longitudinales de l’Étude canadienne de la jeunesse (ECJ), un sondage en deux vagues à huit ans d’intervalle (n = 967), et proposons des modèles pour étudier l’influence des comportements en ligne sur trois attitudes générales à l’égard de la politique. L’analyse des résultats suggère que la communication interpersonnelle et la recherche d’information en ligne augmentent l’intérêt politique. La recherche d’information politique en ligne augmente également le sentiment que le gouvernement fait quelque chose pour les personnes comme nous. Toutefois, la confiance envers le gouvernement est négativement associée à la participation à des discussions politiques en ligne et positivement associée aux activités de réseautage en ligne.

Technological evolution has led to many changes at both professional and academic levels. The inclusion of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has caused dizzying changes in the different contexts of life (educational, professional, social). More and more applications are being downloaded by users to their mobile devices, both for entertainment and training. For this reason, this study is based on the need to assess the knowledge and attitude of university students towards downloading existing educational applications. In this way, the use and frequency of these tools in the teaching-learning process of the students will be analyzed. In order to carry out this study, the quantitative methodology has been taken into consideration with the collection of data with a sample conformed by a total of 278 students of Higher Education between Spain and the Czech Republic. For this purpose, a survey has been prepared as an instrument of analysis, which has been validated by experts in the field. Among the most outstanding results, it can be seen that in both countries, students download educational apps to a greater or lesser degree, according to their interest and subject matter. Likewise, there is a lack of competences and skills in the use of these new technologies as a training complement. Based on this, we propose the continuous training of students and teachers in the knowledge and pedagogical use of ICT in general and educational apps in particular.
