Elliott Carter and Musical Silence
Authors: Capuzzo Guy
Published: July 2020

This article examines Elliott Carter’s most extensive forays into the theory and practice of musical silence: the 2005 composition Intermittences and the 1957 lecture “Sound and Silence in Time: A Contemporary Approach to the Elements of Music.” Taken together, the piece and the lecture present an opportunity to ask significant questions about the role of silence in Carter’s music. The evaluation of Carter’s lecture in this article situates his understanding of musical silence in the broader context of musical expectation and reveals the influence of Alfred North Whitehead. Analyses of passages from Intermittences clarify the interaction of notational and registral silence in the work. A comparison of four recordings of Intermittences explores how performers realize the work’s notational silences as acoustic ones.
Mechanism Change of (+)-Nonlinear Effect in a Phase Separation System in a CuII-Catalyzed Asymmetric Friedel-Crafts Reaction Using a C2-Chiral Dioxolane-Containing-Bisamidine Ligand, Naph-diPIM-dioxo-iPr
Authors: Le Thien Phuc , Tanaka Shinji , Yoshimura Masahiro , Kitamura Masato
Published: July 2020

A CuII complex of bisamidine ligand LS, chirally modified naphtho[1,2-b:7,8-b′]dipyrroloimidazole (Naph-diPIM), catalyzes the enantioselective Friedel-Crafts (FC) reaction of indole (1a) with ethyl trifluoropyruvate (2) to give quantitatively the FC adduct 3a with a 98:2 S/R enantiomer ratio (er). The reaction shows no nonlinear effect (NLE) under the standard conditions of [1a] = [2] = 100 mM; [Cu(OTf)2] = [LS + LR] = 0.10 mM; CPME; and 0 °C irrespective of the catalyst aging temperature. A five-fold increase in the catalyst concentration (0.50 mM) changes the situation, leading to a strong (+)-NLE with phase separation of a white solid. The NLE is expressed by the Noyori-type mechanism: Aggregate of heterochiral dimer CuLSCuLR is separated from the reaction system (Khetero > 1 > Khomo). Furthermore, a strong (+)-NLE is observed via a purple solid liberation even with [CuII] = 0.10 mM after the catalyst aging at 100 °C in the presence of an excess amount of chiral ligand. A mechanistic study has revealed i) that the sterically disfavored homochiral 1:2 complex CuLSLS is more stabilized by an intramolecular n-π* interaction than the sterically favored heterochiral 1:2 complex CuLSLR and ii) that the (+)-NLE originates from the phase separation of heterochirally interacted (CuLSLSCuLRLR).
De Sion al 11S. La Imagen del "Judío Conspirador" Hasta Nuestros Días.
Authors: Rúa Fernández Carolina , Rúa Fernández José Manuel
Published: July 2020

The present text tries to approach the myth of the “conspirator Jew” from a historical perspective, taking as reference point one of the most popular and widespread anti-Semitic writings: The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. His main ideas, based on prejudices and negative stereotypes, come to the present, reinforced and strongly disseminated thanks to new technologies. The old racist topics associated with the Jews will be studied (for example, as teachers of lies or conspirators who make plans to establish world domination ...) and how they are reproduced in various YouTube videos, etc. These documents are very easy to find (by simply entering the term “Jew” or “conspiracy” in a search engine, a multitude of results appear), they spread quickly and promote hate speech that seeks to respond to the great uncertainties or current problems. From war conflicts, to economic crises or even terrorist attacks like 9/11, the threat of the “Jewish plot” seems to be always present. Whether from the shadows or visibly through governments, Jews -denounce the videos- hold power and manage the rest of the world for their own benefit. The tools (internet, networks ...) are novel; the aversion to them, sadly old.

Authors: Martins Calheiros Trindade Bruno Miguel , Pocinho Ricardo , Rodríguez Conde Maria José
Published: July 2020

The present article aims to show the pedagogical perspective of the relationship between the Sociocultural Animation and the educar, verifying the perception that the students and teachers reveal about it. Sociocultural animation is relevant in the development of the child, because valuing play, prevents conflicts and favors social relations. At school, this interaction with play makes the action of Sociocultural Animation applied to education help to build the personality of the child, instructing rules and rules of socialization in a playful way. Thus, the present study sought to demonstrate the value that Sociocultural Animation has in school integration and success, in the perception of the students themselves and their respective teachers of Basic Education. In this way, the TEIP Program was implemented in the Grouping of Schools Nunes Álvares in Castelo Branco. The aim was to verify if the students of the 1st Cycle consider important the relationship between the Sociocultural Animation and the curricular teaching with the objective of promoting the school integration and success. After the participation of 439 students, it was verified that the relationship between animation and educating is relevant and positive, being seen as a promoter and facilitator of school success and integration.
La Lucha Cinematográfica entre Oriente y Occidente. Studio Ghibli versus Disney.
Authors: Monleón Oliva Vicente
Published: July 2020

The animated cinema is one of the elements of visual culture, with an impact on the preparation of the identity and personality of those who belong to childhood. On the one hand, it has Disney in the western territory and, on the other hand, with Studio Ghibli in the eastern sector, as leading animation film studios in the industry. Both focus on the same themes, but differ in how they are addressed. In addition, they are selected for this research due to the great media coverage that both entail. For this reason, it is considered extremely necessary to analyze, critically and qualitatively, both film companies to express the messages that permeate the subconscious of those who consume the films after their passive viewing. This research focuses on cinema understood as art, specifically that of Western (Disney) and Eastern (Studio Ghibli) animation. In this way, the most outstanding conclusions are positioned in the difference regarding the treatment of feminism and romantic love. While stereotypes and gender roles anchored in patriarchy persist in the western production company, the eastern company defends a paradigm shift from less exclusive positions. Likewise, there is also a difference in the treatment of the environment. Disney lashes out at it while Studio Ghibli strives to preserve it.
Mulching Techniques to Conserve the Soil Water and Advance the Crop Production - A Review
Authors: Prem Manjeet , Ranjan Prem , Seth Neeraj , Patle Ghanshyam T.
Published: July 2020

The necessity to increase the production of food grains and enhances the quality of surrounding environment has leaded to find the materials to control or regulate the water and wind erosion. Mulching has become now a days an essential and decisive exercise in agricultural production. It lessens the application of herbicides and various chemical fertilizers, control the weeds and maintains the soil moisture and soil temperature. This article consists of the detail reviews of different research conducted on mulches and elaborate the opportunities that they resolving the problem in agriculture. The resources of water for agricultural operations have been inadequate over the years as a result of global warming and uneven or uncertain rainfall in the low rainfall zones of India. To alleviate the water scarcity in agriculture, mulching has a vital impact as a water conserving technique in rain-fed cropping. It is very important primarily for preserving the soil moisture, preventing evaporation of soil and governing the soil temperature, which affects the food production. India being an agricultural country should have a better admiration towards water conservation tactics. By now we are fighting from a great stress of water insufficiency. Each and every drop of water is important for us but inappropriately because of inattentiveness, we repeatedly waste gigantic volume of water in which 70 to 80 % is passed down for irrigation purpose. Mulching and micro- irrigation techniques can play a vital role in controlling the over and excessive irrigation. This practice assistance to prevent weed growth, increment soil moisture, reduce soil erosion, maintain soil temperature, augments soil structure, improves soil fertility and improvise soil biological regime. There are several categories of mulching which are organic mulching, inorganic mulching, natural mulching, synthetic mulching, surface mulching, upright mulching or vertical mulching, plastic mulching, rubber mulching, pebble or stone mulching, dust mulching, straw mulching, landscape fabric, live vegetative barriers etc. Mulching also shows some limitations beyond many advantages as it may harbor some insects, pests and diseases and also create some weed problems sometimes. The current analysis deals with argument of every single feature of mulching and it’s beneficiary effects.

Lactation after loss: supporting women's decision-making following perinatal death
Authors: Dickens Joanne
Published: July 2020

Offering sensitive and compassionate clinical and bereavement care following perinatal death is the innate focus of the caring healthcare professional and facilitating informed choice around the subject of lactation following loss is an integral part of this. However, evidence suggests that there may be a deficiency in the provision of lactation advice and support following loss. Contributory factors may include a lack of awareness of lactation options following bereavement amongst midwives, as well as an absence of clarity around where the responsibility for offering lactation support and advice lies. This paper presents the literature surrounding the support of women's decision-making for lactation following perinatal death, explicating the physiology of lactation in the antenatal and postnatal periods, and exploring the challenges and opportunities for the midwife when supporting grieving mothers to decide the best option for them and their family.
Analysis of the occupational therapist's professional identity when working in acquired brain injury rehabilitation within a municipal service
Authors: Gregersen Helle , Solvang Per Koren
Published: July 2020

Background

Changes in rehabilitation pathways are reducing the amount of time patients spend in hospital, resulting in an earlier return to municipal care. Studies show that occupational therapists find working with patients with acquired brain injury to be complex and that, in some situations, they fail to believe in their own professional expertise. This qualitative study aimed to explore how the professional expertise of occupational therapists working in acquired brain injury rehabilitation within a municipal service is understood.

Methods

One monoprofessional focus group interview with occupational therapists and five focus group interviews with professionals from municipal interprofessional rehabilitation coordinating units formed the basis for the study. Data were analysed using systematic text condensation.

Results

A holistic view and strategically selected areas of expertise were found to characterise the work of occupational therapists in the municipal setting. A composed base of knowledge enables occupational therapists to be rehabilitators while working in collaboration with multiple professional partners.

Conclusions

Expertise in the areas of adaptation, assistive devices and cognition are considered to be valuable in acquired brain injury rehabilitation in a municipal setting. A practical synthesis of knowledge, transprofessional collaboration and role release enable the occupational therapist to act as a multifarious rehabilitator.
The impact of availability and identity of the caregiver on the post-stroke patient
Authors: Vadas Dor , Kalichman Leonid
Published: July 2020

Background

After having a stroke, most patients are helped by a caregiver with activities that they cannot perform by themselves. The caregiver presence and actions are an important variable that may affect rehabilitation in many ways. The aim of this review study was to evaluate the impact of caregiver presence (or absence) and identity (spouse, family, or foreign domestic worker) on therapeutic exercise performance, depression symptoms, patient–spouse relations and total functional outcomes of stroke patients. Assessing these effects may help health care professionals and families to prioritise/choose the caregiver for their patient/family member.

Methods

A narrative literature review was conducted, focusing on one-direction effects (caregiver on patient effects) on the topics of interest mentioned, in a post-stroke population. PubMed, CINAHL, PEDro, Trip database, and Google Scholar were searched, and included studies of most designs and research qualities. The search strategy had not been specified before commencing the review. Each study was analysed individually with the purpose of synthesising the available evidence to achieve a greater understanding of this topic.

Results

A total of 17 relevant papers were included: six randomised controlled trials, six observational studies, two systematic reviews, two survey-based studies, and one case series. Trials were consistent with the positive effect that caregivers have on therapeutic exercise performance. Studies have shown a positive effect of caregivers on the patient's depressive symptoms, but only at the chronic phase after stroke. A spouse caregiver seems to more positively affect the patient–spouse relations in the acute phase of rehabilitation, while foreign domestic workers can improve these relations at more chronic phases. The presence of a caregiver is shown to decrease functional outcomes within institutionalised rehabilitation centres, while it is necessary and positively affects functionality at more chronic phases within community settings.

Conclusions

The advantages and disadvantages of employing a caregiver depend in many cases on the rehabilitation phase. The caregiver might be beneficial or harmful to the patient's functional progress, depressive symptoms and marital relationship depending on the rehabilitation phase. More studies are needed to assess the caregiver effects on post-stroke patients' rehabilitation and quality of life.

Authors: Levesque Jasmine N. , Shah Ajay , Ekhtiari Seper , Yan James R. , Thornley Patrick , Williams Dale S.
Published: July 2020

Three-dimensional printing (3DP) has become more frequently used in surgical specialties in recent years. These uses include pre-operative planning, patient-specific instrumentation (PSI), and patient-specific implant production. The purpose of this review was to understand the current uses of 3DP in orthopaedic surgery, the geographical and temporal trends of its use, and its impact on peri-operative outcomes One-hundred and eight studies (N = 2328) were included, published between 2012 and 2018, with over half based in China. The most commonly used material was titanium. Three-dimensional printing was most commonly reported in trauma (N = 41) and oncology (N = 22). Pre-operative planning was the most common use of 3DP (N = 63), followed by final implants (N = 32) and PSI (N = 22). Take-home message: Overall, 3DP is becoming more common in orthopaedic surgery, with wide range of uses, particularly in complex cases. 3DP may also confer some important peri-operative benefits.

Finding NEEMO: towards organizing smart digital solutions in orthopaedic trauma surgery
Authors: Braun Benedikt J. , Grimm Bernd , Hanflik Andrew M. , Marmor Meir T. , Richter Peter H. , Sands Andrew K. , Sivananthan Sureshan
Published: July 2020

There are many digital solutions which assist the orthopaedic trauma surgeon. This already broad field is rapidly expanding, making a complete overview of the existing solutions difficult. The AO Foundation has established a task force to address the need for an overview of digital solutions in the field of orthopaedic trauma surgery. Areas of new technology which will help the surgeon gain a greater understanding of these possible solutions are reviewed. We propose a categorization of the current needs in orthopaedic trauma surgery matched with available or potential digital solutions, and provide a narrative overview of this broad topic, including the needs, solutions and basic rules to ensure adequate use in orthopaedic trauma surgery. We seek to make this field more accessible, allowing for technological solutions to be clearly matched to trauma surgeons’ needs.

Theoretical and experimental comprehensive study of GHz-range passively
mode-locked fiber lasers
Authors: Muñoz-Marco Héctor , Abreu-Afonso Javier , Sardiello Gaia , Pérez-Millán Pere
Published: July 2020

In this paper, we present a theoretical model based on the nonlinear
Schrödinger equation to characterize GHz-range passively mode-locked
fiber lasers. The modeled cavities of the lasers are configured by a
highly doped and polarization-maintaining single fiber of a single
type. For different pulse repetition rates, ranging from 1.0 to
10.0 GHz, gain parameters and pump threshold for a stable mode-locked
laser emission are studied. Pulse time width, spectral width, and
semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) properties are defined
to achieve stable emission. To experimentally validate our theoretical
model, 1.0 and 2.2 GHz laser cavities have been built up and
amplified. A stable and robust operation for both frequencies was
obtained, and the experimental measurements have been found to match
the theoretical predictions. Finally, enhanced environmental stability
has been achieved using a cavity temperature control system and an
antivibration enclosure.
Construction of photorefractive photonic quasicrystal microstructures by twisted square lattices
Authors: Jin Wentao , Song Meng , Xue Yan Ling , Gao Yuanmei , Zheng Liren
Published: July 2020

A convenient method to fabricate two-dimensional photonic quasicrystal microstructures was experimentally demonstrated by using a rotatable four-wedge prism. Two-dimensional eightfold symmetric quasicrystal microstructures are formed by two groups of twisted square lattices in a photorefractive crystal. The experimental devices of this method are simple and stable without complicated optical adjustment equipment. Optical-induced quasicrystal microstructures are analyzed and verified by magnified imaging and far-field diffraction pattern imaging. The method can be extended to fabricate more complex quasicrystal and moiré lattice microstructures. We numerically demonstrate that this method can be used to fabricate other complex photonic microstructures by using different multi-wedge prisms and adjusting the rotation angle properly.
Learning to cook the Chinese way: Australian Chinese cookbooks of the 1950s
Authors: Vincent Alison
Published: July 2020

The history of Chinese migration to Australia and in particular the impact of discriminatory legislation has been the subject of considerable scholarship. Less well documented is the contribution of Chinese immigrants to Australia’s food culture. Chinese cooks had been at work in Australia since at least the 1850s, and cafés and restaurants were serving Chinese food in both urban and rural centres by the 1930s. The first cookery books devoted to Chinese recipes were written by Australian Chinese and published after the Second World War. They provided the curious and the adventurous with information that allowed them to both confidently order food in restaurants and experiment with cooking at home. An important and neglected source, this survey of these publications suggests some of the ways in which Chinese cooks adapted and adopted to produce an ‘Australianized’ Chinese menu.
Tête-á-tête: Popular representations of the romantic dinner in post-war Australia
Authors: Adams Jillian , Brien Donna Lee
Published: July 2020

This article examines the notions of the romantic dinner in post-war Australia, using material culture in the form of Australian food writing and advertisements in cookbooks and popular magazines from the post-war period (in this case, 1945–68). It investigates three closely related aspects of the ‘romantic’ dinner for two: the similarities and contrasts between the courtship restaurant ‘date’ and a specially prepared dinner at home; the way in which gendered roles are performed, confirmed and contested in these events; and the influence of American advertising, and its promotion of American cuisine and lifestyle, on the way the domestic meal was conceptualized and presented to housewives at this time. Bearing in mind that the social importance of food is reinforced because its preparation occurs on a daily basis and that the informative power of food and the material culture around food production is as yet only partially tapped, this analysis attempts to answer the question: was the romantic dinner for two an opportunity for romance, or was it a creation that reinforced post-war gender roles in Australia?
‘Cell Division’ and ‘O Positive’
Authors: Torres Edwin
Published: July 2020

‘Cell Division’: This poem is on process, on making as a human endeavour. Wrapped in terminology, language embodies placement where the body wants to land. As language creatures, humans attempt definition without including sensory episodes of navigation, cognitive disassociations of tripped-up aural sensation, i.e. what feels good, i.e. fun. The function of the imagination in language is to question its continual evolution – to grow the 'not-here' from the Self. With purposeful misspellings of text-speak, yr for your, and asking the reader to pronounce hum with extra mmms – the writer interlays mouth with media to reach past the moment of the poem, past the page, to the reader's eyes, skin and body lingo, to share in the process. Titled ‘Cell Division’, as tendrils of our collective unsettling, this poem looks at choice and mobility as concurrent quadrants in the act of doing.

‘O Positive’: As the unfolding of each moment presents itself, the question becomes, how much to hold onto what passes by? This poem, in its restraint and jangled incompletion, uses rhythm and meter inside the sentence form, to look at how communication travels inside the syntax of grammar. The sound of the breath as it moves through the lines, connects to the human flow referenced in the title – which then connects to the ending neologism infantic, itself, a landing spot without origin.

What does cinema think that nothing but it can think?
Authors: Banko Anja
Published: July 2020

The article deals with questions of contemporary film theory by explaining and reflecting on the theses as proposed by the American film and literary critic Nico Baumbach in his work Cinema/Politics/Philosophy (Columbia University Press, 2018). Baumbach is able to analyse the questions of what status film has in relation to politics, philosophy and art in a contemporarily relevant way, approaching film studies through reading authors such as Rancière, Badiou and Agamben in dialogue with Althusser, Deleuze and Benjamin. The article focuses on the positioning and meaning of Baumbach’s thought in the contemporary field of film theory. We position the author’s thought as necessarily dependent on historical context and emphasise its potential for further contemplation, especially as regards the fruitful connection of the dominant branches of film theory that understand film in other ways than merely as the ‘seventh art’.
The anatomy of a myth
Authors: Smole Simon
Published: July 2020

The text analyses myth-making practices in the literary field. Literary studies place certain authors on the right side of history, while delegitimising others and letting them slip into oblivion. The analysis of the formation of the literary cult of Danilo Kiš is placed in a
wider context of the reproduction of author positions and writing styles that are not independent of power mechanisms. Based on the historical example of the polemic on plagiarism in the book A Tomb for Boris Davidovich by Danilo Kiš, I analyse the formation of the literary field
in Yugoslavia. This concrete example helps deconstruct the literary myth that allows us to see the subterranean forces in the field of culture and the specific role of literature in the ideological formation of society.
The tragedy of Hamlet’s desire
Authors: Zorec Matjaž
Published: July 2020

Hamlet as one of the seminal works among literary creations and characters, is getting lost due to the level of his omnipresence and ubiquity either among the non-transparent expert literature of all dimensions, countless stagings or among the plethora of general shrewdness that is
impossible to review in full. Therefore, it is no wonder that psychoanalysis had also contributed its pot of cognisance. The text is an attempt to regard the surface of some of the Danish Prince’s conduct without bearing the load of the cross, associated with the signifiers of Hamlet
and Shakespeare, while also darting a look at the Father and Son of psychoanalysis, Freud and Lacan.
Deleuze, Nietzsche, philosophy, life
Authors: Anđelković Bojan
Published: July 2020

Deleuze’s monograph Nietzsche and Philosophy dating from 1962 was the first study on Nietzsche in France that offered a systematically coherent overview of his philosophy, while opening questions that became central in subsequent Nietzschean studies and in post-structuralism
in general. The most important part of the book, referred to by Deleuze to formulate influential interpretations of the will to power and the eternal recurrence as well as his infamous concept of difference, is undoubtedly an explanation of active and reactive forces, on which Nietzsche constructed
his concept of the body (without organs). From today’s perspective, the book can be seen as the true beginning of Deleuze’s philosophy.

El objetivo de esta investigación es conocer el papel de las universidades como instrumento para la inclusión social de estos jóvenes, mediante la figura del trabajador social. Metodología: Se realiza un análisis comparado en dos países del sur de Europa (España e Italia) a partir de entrevistas en profundidad con 15 jóvenes estudiantes solicitantes de asilo o con status de refugiados y edades comprendidas entre los 20 y 43 años. Resultados: Los resultados muestran que la universidad aporta una base sólida hacia la inclusión, destacando al trabajador social como profesional de referencia. Conclusiones: Se concluye con la importancia de contar con recursos y procedimientos regulados en las universidades que favorezcan el acceso de estos jóvenes como recurso para su inclusión social.
Neuromarketing y la medición del efecto de la publicidad de influencers en adolescentes
Authors: Ferrer-López Marina
Published: July 2020

La publicidad de influencers es un formato publicitario que se considera muy eficaz en la práctica empresarial y académica. El consumidor lo percibe como un contenido más creíble, menos publicitario y más natural que un formato publicitario tradicional. Para medir su efectividad en adolescentes se ha realizado un experimento exploratorio a través de la herramienta de neuromarketing Sociograph que mide la actividad electrodérmica. Se comparó diferentes tipos de contenidos publicitarios protagonizados por influencers con spots publicitarios tradicionales midiendo el nivel de atención y emoción que provocaban al ser visualizados combinada con una encuesta post visualización. La muestra constaba de 19 niñas de 11 a 16 años. Se realizó en un laboratorio de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid en Junio de 2019. De los diferentes tipos de estímulos analizados, los contenidos protagonizados por influencers son los que más picos de atención generaron. Uno de los branded content de influencers también fue el video que mayor pico de emoción generó y el video que más emocionó a la muestra de todos los visualizados. Este estudio exploratorio parece indicar que la credibilidad de los influencers y el conocimiento previo de la marca también podrían afectar a la percepción positiva del anuncio.
Junk News y “medios de desinformación” en la campaña electoral del 10-N
Authors: Rodríguez-Fernández Leticia
Published: July 2020

Las noticias basura, junk news, forman parte del ecosistema desinformativo utilizado para alterar e influenciar a los ciudadanos durante las campañas electorales. Esta investigación analiza el contenido producido por varias páginas españolas, identificadas como “medios de desinformación”, antes y durante la campaña electoral del 10 de noviembre en España.A través de la herramienta Junk News Aggregator del Instituto de Internet de Oxford se han identificado las webs españolas que suelen distribuir contenido basura, es decir partidista, de ideología extrema y con enfoque claramente propagandístico. Se pretende conocer cuál es su agenda de contenidos políticos, la autoría de sus publicaciones, el tratamiento realizado a las formaciones políticas y sus representantes e identificar si hay variación en su actividad durante el periodo electoral. Se observan estrategias de contenido y publicaciones comunes, de enfoque partidista, falta de identificación en la autoría y un claro sesgo ideológico a favor de Vox.
Percepción del periodismo deportivo de datos entre heavy users. Estudio de caso del modelo predictivo de El País para el Mundial de Fútbol de 2018
Authors: Rojas-Torrijos Jose-Luis , García-Cepero Jesus
Published: July 2020

El periodismo de datos ha hallado en los últimos años un terreno abonado para su expansión en las coberturas deportivas, en particular las futbolísticas. El sustrato estadístico de la competición y su carácter cíclico han favorecido el desarrollo de esta nueva modalidad de análisis con datos que se apoya en matemática aplicada para expandir el periodismo deportivo actual. Este artículo profundiza en el estudio de la aplicación, por primera vez en el diario El País, de un modelo matemático de predicción de resultados en una gran cobertura como el Mundial de fútbol de Rusia en 2018. Asimismo, evalúa el grado de aceptación y comprensión de esta metodología de estadística avanzada entre los consumidores más habituales (heavy users) de este tipo de información a partir de encuestas semiestructuradas a estudiantes universitarios de Periodismo Deportivo y periodistas deportivos de medios españoles. Los resultados del estudio ponen de manifiesto que el uso de estadística avanzada para informar de probabilidades en un torneo aún encuentra una difícil aceptación periodística y un desigual grado de entendimiento entre la audiencia. Pese a ello, el periodismo de datos es percibido mayoritariamente como una gran posibilidad para mejorar la diversidad y la calidad de las coberturas deportivas.
Revolución, constitución y orden: lecturas del Julio francés en la prensa chilena (1830-1833)
Authors: Lacueva Muñoz Jaime J. , Saldaña Fernández José , Varela Norambuena Johanan A.
Published: July 2020

Considerando la prensa como principal cauce de circulación de ideas políticas y escenario del debate público en el proceso de implantación del liberalismo, este artículo explora las lecturas y la referencialidad en clave interna de la revolución francesa de 1830 en las dos principales cabeceras chilenas, El Mercurio de Valparaíso y El Araucano. El análisis se articula sobre dos ejes temáticos, ambos vinculados con la noción de orden como fundamento del ideario del régimen conservador que se proyectaría a las siguientes décadas: el primero, el sentido que la prensa dio al Julio francés en relación con la coyuntura nacional; el segundo, el proceso constituyente chileno y la necesidad de superar el periodo de inestabilidad iniciada con la Independencia, para terminar con el problema del reconocimiento diplomático de la naciente república.
«Custodios de la moral». Control socio-moral y sanción popular en el mundo rural altoandaluz tras la posguerra
Authors: Román Ruiz Gloria
Published: July 2020

Durante las décadas de los cincuenta y sesenta la dictadura franquista continuó practicando un estricto control social y moral sobre la población, especialmente sobre las mujeres. En las tareas de vigilancia y castigo de las conductas estimadas inmorales (fueran o no constitutivas de delito) las autoridades civiles y religiosas contaron con la colaboración de la gente de a pie. Pero el proyecto re-moralizador de la dictadura tuvo un éxito tan solo relativo. A pesar de la asfixiante atmósfera sostenida por los «guardianes de las buenas costumbres», muchos individuos lograron preservar una cierta autonomía moral en sus vidas cotidianas, cuestión que se aborda en este trabajo.
El futuro del pasado. Prolepsis y memoria en el discurso comunista (1931-1975)
Authors: Rueda Laffond José Carlos
Published: July 2020

El artículo estudia un corpus limitado de informes políticos confeccionados por el Partido Comunista de España y la Internacional Comunista. Dichos materiales ponen de relieve la persistencia de un esquema recurrente en el discurso orgánico, caracterizado por vincular reflexiones de pasado con diagnósticos de presente y prospecciones de futuro. La tesis que se defiende en este artículo es que esa última dimensión no debe valorarse como mera coda especulativa. Por el contrario, se considera que las expectativas de futuro sirvieron de espacio de comprensión para el hoy y el ayer. De ese modo, se resalta la importancia de las imágenes de futuro como premisa para entender la estrategia política y las narrativas de la memoria. Paralelamente, el estudio de momentos distantes –de las vísperas de la II República al tardofranquismo– permite apreciar la continuidad de tales prácticas y la notable ductilidad histórica de esos imaginarios.

La noción de proceso que maneja gran parte de la historiografía reposa en una concepción de la nación en el tiempo demasiado influida por la forma de pensar el pasado que tienen los nacionalistas. Utilizando la paradoja de Teseo, el artículo plantea que la construcción de naciones (y de otras colectividades) puede entenderse mejor como una cadena de reproducciones sin hilo conductor, y que la noción clásica de continuidad no responde a propósitos epistémicos sino a una metanarrativa historicista. La depuración final de este relato de falsa coherencia que los historiadores del nacionalismo llevan tanto tiempo combatiendo mejoraría nuestra relación epistémica con el pasado, pero plantearía consecuencias incómodas en los ámbitos político y moral.
A Study on Tranche 2 Economic package of 20 Lakh Crore in India for COVID-19

Corona virus has affected the global economy in a worst condition where the Indian Government is only concerned with protecting the lives of people being laid on the economic resources and the condition of this country. This falsify situation that has been raised due to the migration of crores of people from various state and the loss of employment of many people is also the bad time in the history of mankind. The lockdown system has told people to be self-reliant by maintaining the distancing strategy with others. The lockdown made migrant workers tend to be vulnerable to the loss of employment and wages during an economic crisis in their host country, more so than native born workers. Lockdown in labour campus and dormitories can also increase the risk of contagion among migrant workers. Observing that government policy responses to the corona virus crisis have largely excluded migrants and their families back home, the World Bank said there is a strong case for including migrants in the near term health strategies of all countries, given the externalities associated with the health status of an entire population in the face of a highly contagious pandemic. The government has announced that about eight crore migrant workers, irrespective of whether they have ration cards, will get free food grains for the next two months.

Comparison of the AC servomotor with the proposed controllers for tracking a step and a square desired position signal input has been done using Matlab/Simulink toolbox and a promising result obtained.
Homeless Applicants with Dissatisfactory Decisions, Appropriate Dispute Processing and Access to Justice
Authors: Ng Patricia
Published: July 2020

This short article examines the situation of the homeless applicant in relation to unsatisfactory decisions when attempting to secure temporary accommodation from local government in England. The issues of appropriate dispute processing, or methods of redress, and whether in practice legal and other remedies are available to applicants, should be analysed in the context of power imbalance in the applicant and local government officer relationship. Additionally, the applicant’s vulnerability, which led to the request for assistance in the first place, would need to be considered. Given that applicants are more likely not to challenge unsatisfactory decisions, socio-legal tools could assist in acquiring an insight into why this might be the applicant’s default position.

EVALUATION OF INTERNAL COHESION OF MULTIPHASE PLASMA-SPRAYED COATINGS BY CAVITATION TEST: FEASIBILITY STUDY
Authors: Mušálek Radek , Nardozza Emanuele , Tesař Tomáš , Medřický Jan
Published: July 2020

Mechanical characterization of plasma-sprayed coatings at microscopic level represents a major challenge due to the presence of numerous inherent microstructural features such as cracks, pores, or splat boundaries, which complicate coatings characterization by conventional testing methods. Need for reliable testing of structural integrity of newly developed multiphase plasma-sprayed coatings introduced even more complexity to the testing. In this study, applicability of indirect vibratory cavitation test (adapted from ASTM G32 standard) for such testing was evaluated. Three plasmasprayed coatings having distinctive microstructures were tested: i) conventional alumina coating deposited from coarse powder, ii) hybrid coating deposited by co-spraying of coarse alumina powder and fine yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) suspension, and iii) compact alumina coating deposited from fine ethanol-based suspension. Differences in the coatings internal cohesion were reflected in different failure mechanisms observed within the cavitation crater by scanning electron microscopy and mean erosion rates being i) 280 μm/hour, ii) 97 μm/hour and iii) 14 μm/hour, respectively.
DISTRIBUTION OF HYDRATION PRODUCTS IN THE MICROSTRUCTURE OF CEMENT PASTES
Authors: Hlobil Michal
Published: July 2020

This case study focuses on the quantification of the amorphous hydrate distribution in the microstructure of hardened cement paste. Microtomographic scans of the hardenend cement paste were thresholded based on histogram image analysis combined with microstructural composition obtained from CEMHYD3D hydration model, to separate unhydrated cement grains, crystalline and amorphous hydrates, and capillary pores. The observed spatial distribution of the amorphous hydrate exhibited a strong spatial gradient as the amorphous gel tended to concentrate around dissolving cement grains rather than precipitate uniformly in the available space. A comparative numerical study was carried out to highlight the effect of the spatially (non)uniform hydrate distribution on the compressive strength of the hardened cement paste.
NANOINDENTATION AND ACCELERATED PROPERTY MAPPING OF PORTLAND CEMENT PASTE
Authors: Němeček Jiří , Němeček Jiří , Lukeš Jaroslav
Published: July 2020

This paper presents a new nanoindentation mode: accelerated property mapping (XPM) applied to one year old Portland cement paste. The principle of the innovative method is similar to classical quasi-static nanoindentation but the time necessary for performing one indent is significantly decreased from minutes to tenths of seconds. The XPM mode is capable of measuring maps of local mechanical properties (reduced modulus, hardness). The method was compared to classical nanoindentation mode. The main advantages of XPM measurement are higher spatial resolution, lower property fluctuation and lower acquisition time. However, XPM is not able to measure some parameters such as creep. Also, high speed loading of XPM brings high strain effect which artificially shifts values of reduced modulus to higher values compared to quasi-static loading cases.
MICROMECHANICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF CEMENT PASTE MODIFIED BY NANOCLAYS
Authors: Zacharda Vojtěch , Němeček Jiří
Published: July 2020

This work deals with the comparison of micromechanical properties and microstructure of cement pastes with additives used in concrete to reduce the lateral pressure on the formwork. This work is a steppingstone for broader investigation of the lateral pressures on different cement mixtures. The work focused on two additives used for the purpose, namely calcined clay (metakaolin) and a type of nanoclay sepiolite. A scanning electron microscope was used to describe their microstructure. Micromechanical properties of both cement composites were investigated by nanoindentation. Large statistical grids of indents were performed on three sample types: plain cement paste and two mixtures containing the enhancing additive of metakaolin and nanoclay. From the evaluated results in the form of property histograms, the modulus of elasticity, hardness and creep parameter were derived. It was found that in the cement paste with metakaolin the amount of C-S-H gel increased compared to the control mixture. Increased portlandite and the amount of unhydrous clinker was found in the cement paste with nanoclay. Nanomechanical response of individual phases was derived from overall property histograms by statistical deconvolution. The results were confirmed by electron microscopy. The micromechanical research was supplemented with the measurement of the compressive strength on cubes at the macroscopic level.

Published: July 2020

Understanding the mechanical behavior of carbon fiber reinforced polymers requires knowledge on the deformation behavior of carbon fibers, they are highly anisotropic and heterogeneous. Nanoindentation is an efficient method for determining the mechanical properties in small volumes of materials. For isotropic materials, a single nanoindentation test can evaluate an elastic properties of the material. But for anisotropic material, the difficulty increases since measured indentation modulus depends on five elastic parameters (El,Et,Glt, νlt,and νtt) of the material. Nanoindentation experiments are performed on carbon fibers orientated between 0° to 90° at ten different orientations to the fiber axis. From theoretical models given by Vlassak et al. and Delafargue and Ulm, the elastic constants are predicted numerically by comparing the results of indentation modulus versus orientation angle with the experiments.

Flow curves of 15Kh2MFA, Sv 08Kh19N10G2B and 08Kh18N10T steels used for fabrication of WWER-440 nuclear reactor pressure vessel and core internals were obtained using the automated ball indentation (ABI) test technique and compared with flow curves evaluated from the same measured load-displacement data and widely used Oliver-Pharr method. Differences in results obtained by both studied methods do not exceed 12 % and are attributed to the amount of material pile-up.

Butt welding of commercially pure titanium Grade 1 and Ti6Al4V alloy sheets using a pulsed Nd:YAG laser KLS 246 - 102 LASAG were carried out to determine optimal values of pulse energy and pulse length to create completely penetrated weld. Surface peak power density of about 3.105 W.cm−2 was found as an optimal value. Weld dimensions, both face width and penetration depth, are found to be proportional to increasing energy and decreasing pulse length. Gentle sagging and root penetration were revealed by means of contact surface profilometry. The nanohardness tests on transverse cross-sections detected approximately 50% higher hardness in the fusion zone than in the base material.
