"Under the Ditch": Channeling Water through Owen Wister's The Virginian // "Bajo la acequia": Canalizando el agua a través de The Virginian de Owen Wister'
Authors: Ach Jada
Published: March 2020

This paper combines envirotech history with elemental ecocriticism to examine the lively presence of water infrastructure in Owen Wister’s The Virginian (1902). In Wister’s novel, humans and animals assemble around channels of water, and the fight to divert and control water systems initiates both violence and new alliances. Instead of relegating water infrastructures to the inconsequential background, this paper asks what ditches, water storage containers, and reservoirs can contribute to our understanding of gender and human-environmental relations at the turn of the twentieth century. It argues that Progressive Era water development places “manliness” at risk at the same time that it defines it. Since thirst, aridity, and mobility contribute to the making of hard, manly men in Wister’s view, irrigation emerges as a potent challenge to the novel’s hard logic. Resumen     Este trabajo combina perspectivas del campo de historia de la tecnología medioambiental con la ecocrítica elemental para examinar la vida asociada a la infraestructura hidráulica en The Virginian (1902) de Owen Wister. En esta obra de Wister, tanto seres humanos como animales se reúnen alrededor de canales de agua, en los que la lucha para desviar y controlar los sistemas hidráulicos desencadenan episodios de violencia y nuevas alianzas. En lugar de relegar estas infraestructuras a un papel carente de significado, este texto cuestiona cómo han podido contribuir las acequias, los las balsas de agua, y los depósitos a nuestra concepción del género y de las relaciones entre los seres humanos y medioambiente durante los inicios del siglo veinte. Por último, este trabajo pretende establecer que el desarollo hidráulico durante la “época progresista” en los Estados Unidos ha definido “la masculinidad” y, al mismo tiempo, la ha puesto en riesgo. Puesto que, como sugiere la novela, la sed, la aridez, y la mobilidad contribuyen a la formación de hombres duros y masculinos, el sistema de regadío se configura como un desafío potente a las lógicas racionalistas de la novela
Numbers for an Alternative Anthropocene: Population Counting and Humanity’s Place Among Other Species in Daniel Keys Moran’s Tales of the Continuing Time  // Cifras para un antropoceno alternativo: Recuento de población y el lugar de la humanidad entre otras especies en Tales of the Continuing Time de Daniel Keys Moran
Authors: Stevenson Keri R
Published: March 2020

This article approaches the science fiction series Tales of the Continuing Time from an animal studies perspective: examining Daniel Keys Moran’s future earth which uses the means of respecting other intelligent species (artificial intelligences, genetically engineered beings, and aliens) rather than enforced bans on fertility to stop human population growth. Moran’s world government, the Unification, does not enforce such bans effectively, despite taking over the Earth for this purpose. Moran’s novels offer a picture of what happens when the rhetoric around population growth, and possibly justified fear, obstructs human will and human self-restraint. Resumen      Este artículo aborda la saga de ciencia ficción Tales of the Continuing Time desde la perspectiva de los estudios de los animales. Así, se investiga la Tierra futurista de las novelas de Daniel Keys Moran, en las cuales se representa un respeto hacia otras especies inteligentes (inteligencias artificiales, seres humanos genéticamente modificados, y extraterrestres) para parar el crecimiento poblacional, en vez de narrativizar políticas de prohibición la fertilidad. El gobierno planetario de las novelas, la Unificación, no impone tales prohibiciones de manera eficaz, a pesar de tomar el control del planeta con este fin. Las novelas de Moran ofrecen una imagen de lo que ocurre cuando la retórica sobre el crecimiento poblacional y el terror posiblemente justificado obstruyen la voluntad y el autocontrol humanos.

The Brain Gauge: a novel tool for assessing brain health
Authors: Tommerdahl Mark , Lensch Rachel , Francisco Eric , Holden Jameson , Favorov Oleg
Published: March 2020

Background. A large number of neurological disorders (neurodegenerative, neurodevelopmental or trauma induced) are difficult to diagnose or assess, thus limiting treatment efficacy.  Existing solutions and products for this need are costly, extremely slow, often invasive, and in many cases fail to definitively (and quantitatively) diagnose or assess treatment. 

Advances. For the past decade, we have been developing what we consider to be an innovative low-cost sensory testing device (the Brain Gauge) that non-invasively assesses the central nervous system (CNS).  The objective has been to develop an inexpensive, highly accurate, simple to use device to assess brain health in all environments: in the clinic, at home, at work, on the battlefield or sports field.  The device is non-invasive, generates no harmful radiation, requires no chemicals nor exposure to dangerous substances.  The device does not require expensive disposables and does not involve the use of samples that require physical processing in a central laboratory.  Tests can be administered in a matter of minutes and do not require expert oversight.  The most recent versions of the technology are easily portable; the device is the size and shape of a computer mouse.  As such, the technology is particularly well suited to non-drug, non-radiation based alternative and in-home care.  The device and methods have been used in numerous studies of neurological cohorts that are often considered difficult to diagnose or assess objectively. Based on over a decade of studies (currently an ontological database of over 10,000 subjects and over 60 peer reviewed publications), the system can be used to enable clinicians to have a much better view of a patient’s CNS health status.  The diagnostic system delivers a battery of sensory based (tactile) tests that are conducted rapidly – much like an eye exam with verbal feedback – and the tests were  designed to be predominantly impacted by specific mechanisms of CNS information processing.  Because of the broad diversity of the questions addressed by the different metrics, combining the metrics allows for the generation of a unique individual CNS profile that appears to be very sensitive to neurological status.

Outlook.  A review of the development of the system and the application of the method in basic and clinical research is provided to give readers an insight into why the methods were developed, how the methods work and what the methods can be optimally utilized for. The methods provide an objective means for clinicians and researchers to track brain health, and examples of case studies of tracking recovery from concussion as well as response to treatments are provided.

As we take stock of our new responsibilities to the Journal of M@n@gement and its various contributors, from authors to reviewers, editors, and readers, we also acknowledge the broader challenges that science and society face today. Academic communities have multiplied critics about science’s ‘health’ and ethics in general, or those of management and organization studies in particular. From the institutionalization of imposter syndrome in our fields (Bothello & Roulet, 2019) and a pandemic of burnout (World Economic Forum, 2019), to increased scientific misconducts and threats on scientific integrity (Honig et al., 2018) and to the inadequacy of commercial scientific publishing models with the view of science as a global public good (Willinsky, 2005), academics individually and collectively face major struggles that even connect to wider challenges like climate change or ‘datafication’. In that context, we believe that we need to reflect

Pihak agen dan pengecer mengalami kesulitan dalam memasarkan koran jawa pos, hal itu di sebabkan karena biaya pengiriman koran jawa pos terlalu tinggi dan harus mengeluarkan 2 kali biaya pengiriman yang pertama biaya pengiriman dari ekspedisi ke agen setelah itu dari agen ke pengecer dan harus menggunakan alat transportasi lain.
KEBIJAKAN STRATEGIS USAHA PERTANIAN DALAM RANGKA PENINGKATAN PRODUKSI DAN PENGENTASAN KEMISKINAN
Authors: Wahyudi Koko Denik
Published: March 2020

Sektor pertanian, khususnya usaha tani lahan sawah, memiliki nilai multifungsi yang besar dalam peningkatan ketahanan pangan, kesejahteraan petani, dan menjaga kelestarian lingkungan hidup. Keberlanjutan pertanian dengan program lahan pertanian abadi akan dapat diwujudkan jika sektor pertanian dengan nilai multifungsinya dapat berperan dalam pengentasan kemiskinan. Tingkat kemiskinan absolut tahun 2004 mencapai 36,10 juta orang, sebagian besar tinggal di pedesaan (68,70%) dengan kegiatan utama (60%) di sektor pertanian. Kemampuan sektor pertanian dalam peningkatan produksi dan pengentasan kemiskinan akan ditentukan oleh tiga faktor, yaitu 1) kemampuan mengatasi kendala pengembangan produksi, 2) kapasitas dalam melakukan reorientasi dan implementasi arah dan tujuan pengembangan agribisnis padi, dan 3) keberhasilan pelaksanaan program diversifikasi usaha tani di lahan sawah dengan mempertimbangkan komoditas alternatif nonpadi seperti palawija dan hortikultura. Kebijakan strategis yang perlu dipertimbangkan antara lain adalah: 1) memfasilitasi pengembangan infrastruktur fisik dan kelembagaan, perbaikan sistem insentif usaha tani, dan mendorong pengembangan agroindustri padat tenaga  kerja di pedesaan, 2) reorientasi arah dan tujuan pengembangan agribisnis padi dengan sasaran peningkatan pendapatan dan ketahanan pangan rumah tangga petani padi, serta sebagai wahana dinamisasi perekonomian desa, dan 3) pengembangan infrastruktur (fisik dan kelembagaan), teknologi, permodalan, kebijakan stabilisasi, dan penyuluhan untuk komoditas alternatif nonpadi yang bernilai ekonomi tinggi tetapi memiliki risiko yang besar.

Published: March 2020

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi permintaan dan penawaran beras di Kabupaten Jember, untuk menganalisis ketahanan pangan pada beras di Kabupaten Jember tahun 2009 – 2013, untuk menganalisis kontribusi komoditas beras terhadap total komoditas tanaman pangan. Pangan merupakan kebutuhan dasar yang paling esensial bagi manusia untuk mempertahankan hidup dan kehidupan. Sebagai makhluk bernyawa, tanpa pangan manusia tidak mungkin dapat melangsungkan hidup dan kehidupannya untuk berkembang biak dan bermasyarakat. Untuk menilai keberhasilan kebijakan ketahanan pangan dapat dilakukan dengan mengukur tingkat ketahanan pangan di Kabupaten Jember.Untuk menjawab permasalahan Faktor-faktor apakah yang mempengaruhi permintaan dan penawaran beras di Kabupaten Jember, bagaimanakah ketahanan pangan pada beras di Kabupaten Jember tahun 2009 – 2013, bagaimanakah kontribusi komoditas beras terhadap total komoditas tanaman pangan, penulis menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif. Metode analisis yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini menggunakan regresi linear berganda, Least Square Method dan kontribusi komoditas.Dari hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa variabel jumlah beras yang diminta pada tahun t -1 (Qdt-1), variabel harga beras pada tahun t –1 (Pt-1), variabel pendapatan per kapita penduduk pada tahun t (It) dan variabel jumlah penduduk pada tahun t (Popt) berpengaruh signifikan positif terhadap variabel jumlah beras yang diminta pada tahun t (Qdt); variabel jumlah beras yang ditawarkan pada tahun t -1 (Qst-1), harga beras pada tahun t –1 (Pt-1) tidak berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap variabel jumlah beras yang ditawarkan pada tahun t (Qst); tren perkembangan produksi beras di Kabupaten Jember yang diperoleh pada tahun 2004 – 2013 mengalami peningkatan; tahun 2003 hingga 2008 kontribusi beras mengalami penurunan. Hal ini dapat disebabkan karena jumlah produksi tanaman pangan selain beras, yaitu jagung, kedelai, kacang tanah, ubi, sayur-sayuran sejak tahun 2003 sampai tahun 2008 mengalami peningkatan.

This article is a product of the reflection generated in the process of inquiry and consultation to prepare and develop the chairs on topics such as psychosocial risks, professional ethics, health education techniques, among others, in an occupational health administration program. 2 One year of teaching experience has been enough to generate critical questions regarding training and research in the professional field. The new reflections are articulated and renewed old questions raised in more than 20 years of professional, teaching and research experience in the field of education and research, but above all as a teacher and worker on issues related to training and education for the demand and guarantee of rights for a decent life. The field of health and safety at work is no exception to think and train in the knowledge of rights and regulatory or legal mechanisms, but also educational and collective and individual action for a life and of course for a job worthy.
Importance of obstetric psychoprophylaxis in pregnancy between 18-25 years
Authors: Perez Torres Lisset , Espinoza Izquierdo Jaime
Published: March 2020

Gestation is considered biologically, psychologically and socially a normal process, the health conditions of the mother, the family environment and the social context in which it is carried out contribute to its evolution, and the mother and the fetus should be monitored through health programs. For many years ago, the pregnant woman received care only at the time of delivery, omitting the other stages that includes labor, where the woman also requires attention. In 1929 hypnosugestive measures were used for "the pains of childbirth" and in 1951 the psycho-prophylactic method perfectly arranged and demonstrated on a scientific basis was released, thus improving the attitude of the pregnant woman in labor. The education provided for childbirth will allow the pregnant woman to cope with the stress caused, thus reducing pain.

At the present time, aesthetics in dentistry have been in great demand, so dental clarifications are a highly sought after treatment by patients, for which they go to the dental office daily, they have produced a great controversy in dental restoration treatments due to the materials that compose it. One of its main failures is the difficulty of the level of adhesion that affects both enamel and dentin. Through a quantitative methodology it was analyzed by means of the scanning electron microscope in 40 dental pieces (premolars) extracted by orthodontic treatment, they were divided into 4 groups of 10 samples each- This in vitro research will allow to observe, the degree of adhesion of a Direct restoration after dental clearance according to the time in which it is performed and prior to prophylaxis with sodium bicarbonate and an antioxidant such as calcium hydroxide using the same last generation adhesion system (ULTRADENT PEAK-Universal). This investigation led to a statistical and observational result that the sodium bicarbonate group showed a higher level of adhesion compared to the other groups approaching with a minimum of difference the control group which was the benchmark for comparison. It was concluded that performing a sodium bicarbonate prophylaxis helps the level of adhesion post clearance.

Published: March 2020

The full 3D vector magnetic field of a solar filament prior to eruption is presented. The filament was observed with the Facility Infrared Spectropolarimeter at the Dunn Solar Telescope in the chromospheric He i line at 10830 Å on 2017 May 29 and 30. We inverted the spectropolarimetric observations with the Hanle and Zeeman Light code to obtain the chromospheric magnetic field. A bimodal distribution of field strength was found in or near the filament. The average field strength was 24 Gauss, but prior to the eruption we find the 90th percentile of field strength was 435 Gauss for the observations on May 29. The field inclination was about 67° from the solar vertical. The field azimuth made an angle of about 47°–65° to the spine axis. The results suggest an inverse configuration indicative of a flux rope topology. He i intensity threads were found to be coaligned with the magnetic field direction. The filament had a sinistral configuration as expected for the southern hemisphere. The filament was stable on 2017 May 29 and started to rise during two observations on May 30, before erupting and causing a minor coronal mass ejection. There was no obvious change of the magnetic topology during the eruption process. Such information on the magnetic topology of erupting filaments could improve the prediction of the geoeffectiveness of solar storms.
A Two Carrier Families Spectral Profile Model for Anomalous Microwave Emission
Authors: Bernstein L. S. , Shroll R. M. , Quenneville J. , Dickinson C.
Published: March 2020

We model anomalous microwave emission (AME) spectral profiles from 14 diverse galactic and extragalactic sources. The spectral profile model is an analytic representation of a quantum mechanical model for symmetric top rotational emission. The observed spectral shapes are well fit by superposing two model profiles originating from two distinct carrier families. Each family is composed of numerous, comparably abundant isomers of a parent carrier. The isomers have similar rotational constants, thereby producing continuous, versus resolved line, spectra that are slightly broader than the parent profiles. Ten observations are fit with comparable peak height and peak frequency ratios for the two carrier families, suggesting that AME arises from common carriers. One observation is fit using a single family, attributed to photodissociation of the less stable, smaller molecules for the missing family. Three observations are fit by combining two frequency-shifted model spectra, indicating multiple sources along their sight lines. The derived rotational constants for the two parent carriers are well determined because their rotational temperature is well characterized for the LDN 1622 dark cloud AME source. The rotational constants are consistent with the C36 and C60 fullerenes as the parent carriers. We use a Monte Carlo simulation of fullerene hydrogenation to understand the origins of source variability in the AME model fits. Other potential carriers, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and very small grains, cannot be excluded; however, we find that fulleranes are also viable carriers because their aromatic cages are extremely stable to photodissociation, and their data-derived sizes suggest C36 and C60 parent fullerenes.
Sympathetic Eruptions of Two Filaments with an Identifiable Causal Link Observed by the Solar Dynamics Observatory
Authors: Song Zhiping , Hou Yijun , Zhang Jun , Wang Peng
Published: March 2020

Filament eruptions occurring at different places within a relatively short time internal, but with a certain physical causal connection, are usually categorized as sympathetic eruptions. Studies of sympathetic eruptions are not uncommon. However, in these studies the causal links between sympathetic eruptions remain rather speculative. In this work, we present detailed observations of a sympathetic filament eruption event in which an identifiable causal link between two eruptive filaments is observed. On 2015 November 15, two filaments (F1 in the north and F2 in the south) were located at the southwestern quadrant of the solar disk. Their main axes were almost parallel to each other. Around 22:20 UT, F1 began to erupt, forming two flare ribbons. The southwestern ribbon apparently moved southwest and invaded the southeast part of F2. This continuous intrusion caused F2's eventual eruption. Accompanying the eruption of F2, flare ribbons and post-flare loops appeared in the northwest region of F2. Meanwhile, neither flare ribbons nor post-flare loops could be observed in the southeastern area of F2. In addition, the nonlinear force-free field extrapolations show that the magnetic fields above F2 in the southeast region are much weaker than those in the northwest region. These results imply that the overlying magnetic fields of F2 were not uniform. So we propose that the southwest ribbon formed from eruptive F1 invaded F2 from its southeast region with relatively weaker overlying magnetic fields relative to its northwest region, disturbing F2 and leading F2 to eventually erupt.
Model of a Gap Formed by a Planet with Fast Inward Migration
Authors: Kanagawa Kazuhiro D. , Nomura Hideko , Tsukagoshi Takashi , Muto Takayuki , Kawabe Ryohei
Published: March 2020

A planet is formed within a protoplanetary disk. Recent observations have revealed substructures such as gaps and rings, which may indicate forming planets within the disk. Due to disk–planet interaction, the planet migrates within the disk, which can affect the shape of a planet-induced gap. In this paper, we investigate effects of fast inward migration of the planet on the gap shape, by carrying out hydrodynamic simulations. We found that when the migration timescale is shorter than the timescale of the gap-opening, the orbital radius is shifted inward as compared to the radial location of the gap. We also found a scaling relation between the radial shift of the locations of the planet and the gap as a function of the ratio of the timescale of the migration and gap-opening. Our scaling relation also enables us to constrain the gas surface density and the viscosity when the gap and the planet are observed. Moreover, we also found the scaling relation between the location of the secondary gap and the aspect ratio. By combining the radial shift and the secondary gap, we may constrain the physical condition of the planet formation and how the planet evolves in the protoplanetary disk, from the observational morphology.
Dust Destruction by Charging: A Possible Origin of Gray Extinction Curves of Active Galactic Nuclei
Authors: Tazaki Ryo , Ichikawa Kohei , Kokubo Mitsuru
Published: March 2020

Observed extinction curves of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are significantly different from those observed in the Milky Way. The observations require preferential removal of small grains at the AGN environment; however, the physics for this remains unclear. In this paper, we propose that dust destruction by charging, or Coulomb explosion, may be responsible for AGN extinction curves. Harsh AGN radiation makes a dust grain highly charged through photoelectric emission, and grain fission via Coulomb explosion occurs when the electrostatic tensile stress of a charge grain exceeds its tensile strength. We show that Coulomb explosion can preferentially remove both small silicate and graphite grains and successfully reproduce both flat extinction curve and the absence of 2175 Å bump.
Reversibility of the subterranean life-style
Authors: Copilas-Ciocianu Denis
Published: March 2020

The extreme traits of subterranean organisms have traditionally been considered detrimental in the surface environment, thereby permanently restricting them to the dark, fragmented and relatively stable subsurface. Specifically, the loss of eyes and pigment coupled with stenothermy is thought to be disadvantageous in the dynamic surface environment, especially in the face of competition from epigean counterparts. However, this paradigm has been challenged by several recent studies which indicate that in rare cases, a reversal to surface habitats seems likely. Using the amphipod genus Niphargus as a model, I present environmental, life-history, phylogeographic, phylogenetic, trophic and functional morphological data that supports at least two independent reversals to surface environments. The two studied species, N. hrabei and N. valachicus, have rarely been reported from groundwater, but are common inhabitants of surface rivers, streams and lakes. They have very broad geographical distributions (>1300 km) with modest genetic divergence, indicating wide-scale dispersal and gene-flow via the interconnected surface river network. Molecular phylogenies strongly support their independent origin from groundwater ancestors. In the case of N. valachicus, life-history data further supports an epigean lifestyle due to the strong influence of seasonality, closely matching the patterns observed in surface amphipods. A comparison of functional morphology and trophic niche between this species and two of its most common sympatric surface relatives (Gammarus dacicus and Synurella ambulans) reveals that it occupies a unique predatory niche, indicating little trophic overlap and decreased competitive pressure. It therefore appears that, under certain circumstances, subterranean species do not only recolonize, but also thrive in surface environments.
Initial Factors Affecting 6-month Outcome of Patients Undergoing Surgery for Acute Post-traumatic Subdural and Epidural Hematoma

Published: March 2020

Introduction: The most frequent consequences of a traumatic brain injury are acute subdural (SDH) and epidural hematoma (EDH), which usually require a surgical treatment. Most of the factors affecting the prognosis have been analyzed on a wide group of traumatic brain injuries. Nonetheless, there are few studies analyzing factors influencing the prognosis regarding patients with EDH and SDH. The aim of the study is to identify factors which have prognostic value in relation to 6-month outcome of patients undergoing surgery for acute hematoma.

 

Patients and methods: The study included a group of 128 patients with isolated craniocerebral injuries. The patients were divided into two groups, namely a group of 28 patients operated on due to epidural hematoma and a group of 100 patients operated on due to acute subdural hematoma. All patients were operated and treated in the Department of Neurosurgery at the Medical University in Lublin from 1.10.2014 to 31.08.2017. The following factors from the groups were analyzed: demographic data, physiological factors, laboratory factors, computed tomography scan characteristics, and time between the trauma and the surgery. All the factors were correlated with six-month outcome in Glasgow outcome scale.

 

Results: The univariate analysis has confirmed the influence of many factors affecting the outcomes.

 

Conclusion: It is interesting that the factors such as GSC score, saturation, respiratory rate, and systolic blood pressure were associated with outcome with highly statistically significant differences in both group. These are factors that, with an appropriate treatment, could be normalized at the place of the accident.
Papillary Endometrioid Carcinoma of Intermediate Grade with Infiltration in a Leiomyoma
Authors: Shopov Spasimir
Published: March 2020

In endometrioid cancer cases, the depth of myometrial invasion, the lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) and the microcystic, elongated, and fragmented (MELF) glands type of invasion are predictors for a metastasis. Although the intermediate grade papillary endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the endometrium is currently not included in the latest classification of the tumors in the female reproductive system, its existence provokes an interest due to the necessity to perform differential diagnosis against other endometrioid tumors. Hereby presented is a case of papillary endometrioid carcinoma of intermediate grade with invasion in leiomyoma, expressed via LVSI and MELF syndrome with intact myometrium. Morphological and immunohistochemical algorithms have been performed.

Bolli anforari dal sito di Apani
Authors: Palazzo Paola
Published: March 2020

I reperti provenienti dall’insediamento artigianale di Apani, nell’ager brundisinus, costituiscono uno dei nuclei più rappresentativi della produzione anforaria brindisina di età repubblicana. In questa breve nota vengono analizzati gli aspetti tipologici ed epigrafici di alcuni esemplari di anse bollate, che attestano il coinvolgimento, nelle attività produttive del sito, di gentilizi appartenenti sia alla classe dirigente locale che alla nobilitas urbana.
L’élite municipale di Puteoli fra la tarda repubblica e Nerone
Authors: Camodeca Giuseppe
Published: March 2020

Le recenti acquisizioni sul patrimonio epigrafico e sull’archivio puteolano dei Sulpicii consentono finalmente di ricostruire, sebbene in grandi linee, le vicende dell’oligarchia di Puteoli fra la tarda repubblica e Nerone. In particolare si può concludere che le più importanti famiglie dell’élite della colonia augustea restano sostanzialmente le stesse del tempo di Cicerone; esse continuano i loro traffici transmarini e concorrono in aperta emulazione fra loro a dare un volto nuovo all’impianto urbanistico e monumentale della città. Solo per due di queste famiglie (Hordeonii e Limbricii) è però nota l’ascesa al rango senatorio. Ma nella complessa e multiforme società puteolana di questo periodo, con un numeroso ceto libertino, che aveva gran parte nella gestione degli affari e talvolta disponeva di ingenti patrimoni, ma nel contempo era escluso dal governo cittadino, non può meravigliare che si siano accumulate tali tensioni sociali da sfociare in violenti dissidi, quale il celebre episodio del 58. L’intervento del potere centrale porto due anni dopo alla colonia neroniana, con cui secondo l’A. si apre un nuovo capitolo nella storia della città. Non solo compaiono più spesso nell’ordo decurionum uomini nuovi, in particolare d’origine libertina, ma soprattutto si può dimostrare che uno dei personaggi di maggior rilievo politico nella Puteoli ncroniana fu appunto un figlio di liberti: L. Cassius Cerealis. In appendice, oltre l’elenco dei gentilizi attestati a Puteoli in età giulio-claudia, si pubblica un nuovo decretum decurionum puteolano del 7 d.C.

Published: March 2020

We tested 700 serum samples collected throughout Panama from 2015 to 2016 for detecting antibodies and RNA of arboviruses. In convalescent specimens, microsphere immunoassay detected an antibody prevalence of 59.3% for dengue virus (DENV) and 30.3% for Zika virus (ZIKV), which included samples that were collected before the Panamanian surveillance system reported the first case of Zika in the country. For acute sera, the most common arbovirus was DENV with 18 positive samples (6%), followed by four (1.3%) of ZIKV and one (0.6%) of chikungunya virus (CHIKV). Our results indicate a change in the chronology of when ZIKV was first detected in Panama and stress the importance of integrating various approaches to enable improved surveillance of both endemic and emerging arboviruses.
Impact of quercetin supplementation on testicular functions in summer heat-stressed rabbits

Published: March 2020

The current study was designed to determine the effects of dietary quercetin on epididymal sperm and testicular changes in male rabbits during summer heat stress (HS). Twelve adult male New Zealand white rabbits were submitted to summer heat conditions (temperature-humidity index 29.9±1.2). One group was fed a basal ration (BR; n = 6), whereas the other group was fed the same basal diet supplemented with quercetin (30 mg/kg d; Que-BR; n = 6) for 60 d, and both groups were sacrificed at the end of the experiment. Epididymis and testicles isolation was done for sperm, histopathology and apoptosis assessments. The results showed that quercetin improved epididymis weight, but did not affect other testicular dimensions except testicular length. A significant improvement was observed in epididymal sperm motility, concentration, kinematic parameters, viability, mitochondrial potential and acrosome integrity in Que-BR compared to the BR group. Lowered serum malondialdehyde level was observed in quercetin supplemented rabbits. Moreover, the quercetin supplementation maintained the interstitial stroma, seminiferous tubules architecture, germinal and Sertoli cells under HS, decreasing the apoptotic germ cell rate in seminiferous tubules. In conclusion, HS condition affects the sperm and testes configurations in rabbits and dietary quercetin minimises oxidative stress, which in turn protects the testes and sperm against HS induced damage.
Por uma democracia: entre a democracia liberal e a prática política em Jacques Rancière
Authors: Santos Priscilla Camargo , Cademartori Luiz Henrique Urquhart
Published: March 2020

O problema de pesquisa diz respeito a qual modelo de democracia é desejável, à vista da crise institucional e política observada nos dias atuais.  A análise realizada é monográfica. Evidencia-se dois modelos de participação política, a democracia liberal que tem como principais características a competição e a participação política e a democracia preconizada por Jacques Rancière por meio da prática política que se opera a partir da contribuição das classes populares para a instalação de espaços públicos. Aborda-se a crise democrática expondo um estudo realizado anualmente que investiga o índice de democracia em grande parte dos países. Encerra-se o trabalho demonstrando ao final a necessidade da manutenção das premissas da democracia liberal como meio de defesa das próprias regras do jogo democrático.

El Autoconcepto Físico (ACF), se constituye en la base del Autoconcepto general y del fortalecimiento de la autoestima,factor modelador del carácter, la personalidad y de la conducta humana y que puede influir en el estado de salud.Para su determinación se encuestaron un total de 337 estudiantes universitarios de la Pontificia Universidad Católicade Valparaíso, utilizando el Test de Autovaloración PSDQ-s en su versión corta.Los resultados obtenidos demostraron que los varones que practican deporte tienen un ACF más positivo que los varonesque no practican deporte. La valoración negativa de las mujeres está condicionada por la poca participacióndeportiva de ellas.Las diferencias establecidas en este grupo, nos ayudan a crear planes de valoración de los estudiantes que nos permitaestablecer qué planes de intervención motriz son capaces de mejorar el ACF, considerando las diferencias envarios ítems y que pueden disminuir en frecuencia y diversidad según la estrategia de intervención.
