A argumentação numa perspectiva materialista do discurso
Authors: Piris Eduardo Lopes
Published: December 2016

Neste trabalho, propomos uma reflexão acerca das bases teóricas que fundamentam o estudo da argumentação numa perspectiva materialista do discurso. Primeiramente, apresentamos um panorama do relevante lugar que o sujeito passou a ocupar nos estudos sobre argumentação, apoiando-nos em Perelman & Olbrechts-Tyteca (1996 [1958]), Toulmin (2006 [1958]), Plantin (1996), Maingueneau (2011 [1994]) e Amossy (2007, 2011 [2008], 2013). Depois, concebendo as ideologias como força material que contitui o indivíduo como sujeito, recorremos aos trabalhos de Fuchs & Pêcheux (2001 [1975]), Pêcheux (2001 [1969]), 1997 [1975]) e Orlandi (1998), para discutir a argumentação como parte dos efeitos de sentido entre os sujeitos do discurso. Para tanto, destacamos a interdiscursividade, a antecipação e as formações imaginárias como conceitos centrais para o entendimento do mecanismo de argumentação no discurso. Por fim, analisamos o pronunciamento do deputado Mário Covas feito durante a sessão parlamentar de 12 de dezembro de 1968, que antecedeu o AI-5.
STAGING EMBERS: AN ACT OF KILLING?
Authors: Campbell Julie
Published: December 2016

My paper focuses on the problems involved in adapting Embers for the stage. I discussed Katie Mitchell's recent production of this text with her, and learned that (i) the Beckett Estate would not allow her to make any changes to the play, and that (ii) Mitchell also felt that the play would be extremely difficult totranslate into stage imagery.

My article deals with both of these issues: in the first place with the difficulties involving the kind of strictures the Beckett Estate are like1y to place in the way of anyone wishing to adapt work by Beckett; in the second place I will be looking at the perfectly valid point on which the Estate view, of course, rests: that Beckett is working, with each play, within a very specific medium, and shifting from one to another is a hazardous and also a very questionable procedure.
RATS IN AND AROUND BECKETT
Authors: Bryden Mary
Published: December 2016

I have tried to suggest in this essay first that Beckett's construction of rats shows a remarkable familiarity with their biological reality, and, secondly, that this demonstrated familiarity is marked by a distinct lack of 'rattism' (in other words, his approach to rats is more or less prejudice-free). Beckett's rats are not devoid of symbolic status, but this occasional symbolic status is one which takes on a colouring peculiar to Beckett, deriving from his knowledge of rats, and not 'ratified' by popular mythology.

In a sense which is different from, but complementary to, the thematic title of this volume, the phenomenon of 'Beckett versus Beckett' finds graphic illustration in those "grey paws in the dust" which counterpoint all human affairs.
BECKETT AND BERKELEY: A Reconsideration
Authors: Smith Frederik N.
Published: December 2016

No one doubts that Beckett was influenced by the skepticism of the eighteenth-century Irish philosopher George Berkeley; what is not appreciated, however, is the influence of the form of Berkeley's less well-known writings. Of particular importance are his youthful Philosophical Commentaries (kept in 1707-08), and his late, apparently incomplete Siris: A Chain of Philosophical Reflexions and Inquiries Concerning the Virtues of Tar-Water (published in 1744). Beckett knew both of these works and in them seems to have discovered formal models for the personal, tentative, philosophical fiction of the 'trilogy' and How It Is. In Beckett as in Berkeley, language and writing become not only the means but also the greatest impediment to understanding.
WAITING FOR GOD TO GO: How It Is and Inferno VII-VIll
Authors: Terry Philip
Published: December 2016

Critics have been quick to point out the topographical connections between How It Is and Dante's Inferno, but none have fully explored the dynamics at work between Beckett's novel and its primary intertext. This essay argues that How It Is revisits the Inferno politically, in order to deconstruct the theological argument underpinning Dante's Christian epic. In this way Beckett operates not a "poetics of conversion" (Dante) but a "poetics of perversion".
PLAYING WITH THE CRIES
Authors: Scholes Robert
Published: December 2016

Clues provided by the text suggest that we should read Beckett's "First Love" in an associative way, and attending to its repetitive structure. The narrative has been organized as a working out of variations on the themes of death, marriage, and birth. What drives the reader forward is the desire to know what the death of the writer-narrator's father, his marriage and the birth of his child have to do with each other. This narrator speaks about himself as about a corpse, but one "not quite yet up to scratch". Unable to remain in the realm of pure thought, he Iives on, procreating and writing, against his own will. His writings revolt him, while he is pursued by the cries of the newborn. What remains, then, is his play with these cries of human existence, which seems to be an apt description of Beckett's writing.
BECKETT'S "FIRST LOVE" AND CYNICAL PHILOSOPHY
Authors: Peer Willie van
Published: December 2016

Situating Beckett's "First Love" in the philosophical tradition of cynicism allows us to approach the text comprehensively. Evidence of Beckett's own cynical attitude supports several of the overt themes of the work: vanitas, or the irrelevance of human actions, the outsider or misanthrope, scatology or obscenity, and the demystification of love and other high values. Further analysis of intertextual relationships (e.g., Dante) and genre affinities all leads to the conclusion that the characters, their behaviour, their motives, and their emotions are a direct heir to the cynics' worldview. Moreover, "First Love" aims to express and pass on the cynical philosophy through the comic mode.
Studies on Adriaphaenops Noesske with the description of five new species from the Dinarides (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Trechini)
Authors: LOHAJ ROMAN , LAKOTA JÁN , QUÉINNEC ERIC , PAVIĆEVIĆ DRAGAN , ČEPLÍK DÁVID
Published: December 2016

The species belonging to the trechine genus Adriaphaenops Noesske, 1928 are studied. As a result, seven currently known and five newly described species are recognized. Morphological characters of the habitus (especially the shape of head and pronotum) as well as male genitalia are widely used to delimit the species. The following new species are described: A. albanicus sp. nov. (Albania, Shkodër, Boga, Thatë Mts.), A. jasminkoi sp. nov. (Bosnia & Hercegovina, Nevesinje, Novakova pećina cave), A. mlejneki sp. nov. (Montenegro, Gornje Stravče, Kučke planine Mts.), A. njegosiensis sp. nov. (Montenegro, Cetinje, Cetinjska pećina cave) and A.rumijaensis sp. nov. (Montenegro, Virpazar, Rumija Mts.). Lectotype for A. stirni (Pretner, 1959) is designated. Data on the distribution and ecology of new taxa, complemented with descriptions of the type localities are provided. Key to the identification of all twelve Adriaphaenops species, as well as a key of all hitherto known aphaenopsoid Trechini genera from Dinarides are also given.
Event-based biogeography of Eusarcus dandara sp. nov. (Opiliones: Gonyleptidae), an endemic species of the Northern Atlantic Rainforest of Brazil, and its closely related species
Authors: SARAIVA NÍCOLAS EUGENIO DE VASCONCELOS , DASILVA MARCIO BERNARDINO
Published: December 2016

Here, we describe a new species of Eusarcus and reconstruct the geographical evolution of its species group based on biogeographical event-based analysis. Eusarcus dandara sp. nov. has been recorded from Alagoas state, in northeastern Brazil, which represents an important range extension of the genus to the northern Atlantic Rainforest. We performed a cladistic morphological analysis based on new data and data from a previous systematic review of the genus to reconstruct the phylogenetic placement of the new species. This analysis resulted in six most parsimonious cladograms. We performed the biogeographical reconstruction using the Treefitter 1.3B1 algorithm for the clade of eight species that includes E. dandara sp. nov., and we tested the significance of the reconstructions. We found two alternative reconstructions depended on the differences in species relationships; both were significant (0.002 ≤ p ≤ 0.019). The phylogenetic placement of the new species is consistent with some expectations based on previous biogeographical studies of Atlantic Rainforest harvestmen. Reconstructions reveal the origin of the species group in the northeast region, in the Atlantic Rainforest plus interior and dry biomes, such as the Caatinga xeric shrubland and Cerrado savanna, with subsequent dispersal to the southeast region. Harvestmen are good models to study the historical biogeography of the Atlantic Rainforest, especially those species that are endemic, like most Eusarcus. We have demonstrated a complex history of the spatial evolution of the group and the importance of the adjacent drier biomes in the evolution of endemic organisms of the Atlantic Rainforest.
Two new species of the genus Sphingonotus Fieber, 1852 (Orthoptera: Oedipodidae) from China
Authors: CAO CHENG-QUAN , SHI JIAN-PING , YIN ZHAN
Published: December 2016

Two new species of the genus Sphingonotus Fieber, 1852, namely Sphingonotus taiwanensis sp. nov. and Sphingonotus zhongningensis sp. nov. are described in this paper from China. The new species Sphingonotus taiwanensis sp. nov. is similar to Sphingonotus nebulosus (Fiescher-Waldheim, 1846), but differs from the latter by interspace of mesosternum wider, width 1.8 times the length; hind femur pale red on inner side; hind tibia pale red, with 13 spines on inner side and 10 spines on outer side; hind wing pale yellow at base. The new species Sphingonotus zhongningensis sp. nov. is similar to Sphingonotus salinus (Pallas, 1773), but differs from the latter in: vertical diameter of eye 1.3 times horizontal diameter; metazona of pronotum is 2.0 times prozona in length; hind tibiae with 13 spines on inner side and 12 spines on outer side; black band of hind wing wider in the middle, apical part not narrowed; black band of hind wing in the apical part larger, not divided into two.        The type specimens are deposited in the Taiwan Agricultural Research of Institute (TARI), Taichung Taiwan, China and in the College of Plant Protection, China Agricultural University, Beijing, China respectively.

Glutamine, fish oil and antioxidants in critical illness: MetaPlus trial post hoc safety analysis
Authors: Hofman Zandrie , Swinkels Sophie , van Zanten Arthur R. H.
Published: December 2016

Background

The role of plasma glutamine, fish oil and antioxidants concentrations in the treatment effect of immune-modulating high-protein versus high-protein enteral nutrition on 6-month mortality in critically ill patients is explored, as unexpected negative outcomes of recent large randomized controlled trials on immune-modulating nutrients have raised questions about safety of these interventions.

Methods

Post hoc analysis of the MetaPlus randomized controlled trial which was performed in a total of 301 medical, surgical and trauma critically ill patients in fourteen European intensive care units. Patients received either immune-modulating (glutamine, fish oil and antioxidant enriched) high-protein (IMHP) or isocaloric high-protein (HP) enteral nutrition. Six-month mortality and baseline, day 4 and day 8 plasma concentrations of glutamine, (eicosapentaenoicacid + decosahexaenoicacid)/long-chain fatty acid plasma level ratio ((epa + dha)/lcf ratio), selenium, vitamin c, vitamin e and zinc were measured.

Results

The harmful treatment effect of the IMHP versus HP enteral nutrition on 6-month mortality was only demonstrated in the medical subgroup (HR 2.52, 95% CI 1.36–4.78, P = 0.004). Among medical patients, when corrected for age groups and APACHE-II scores, there were no statistically significant associations between baseline plasma levels and 6-month mortality, except for zinc (HR 1.06, 95% CI 1.00–1.12, P = 0.026). IMHP feeding resulted in statistically significant increase in plasma levels of glutamine, vitamin e, vitamin c and (epa + dha)/lcf ratio from baseline to day 4, while only the change from baseline to day 4 of (epa + dha)/lcf ratio was statistically significant associated with 6-month mortality (HR 1.18, 95% CI 1.02–1.35, P = 0.021) and identified as mediator for the harmful treatment effect of IMHP enteral nutrition among medical ICU patients.

Conclusion

We hypothesize that the harmful effect of IMHP compared to HP enteral nutrition in a heterogeneous group of critically ill patients is limited to the medical critically ill patients and mediated by an early increase in (epa + dha)/lcf ratio.

Language Purism and Gender
Authors: Josephson Jyl , Einarsdóttir Þorgerður
Published: December 2016

In this essay, the authors offer the case of Iceland as a “language frontier” for the trans* community, given the nationalistic linguistic context and the deeply gendered nature of the Icelandic language. We begin by briefly outlining the legal situation with respect to trans* identification and the ability to transition. We then outline the conflict over terminology in the context of the Icelandic language and Icelandic national identity. Using empirical interview data, we discuss the difficulty Icelandic poses as a language for trans* identified people, given the deeply gendered nature of the language. We see no easy solution to this complex problem of language, nationalism, and identity.
Keeping the Trans in Translation
Authors: Rose Emily
Published: December 2016

This article discusses how a trans-disciplinary exploration of two translations from French and Spanish to English of two early modern transgender memoirs could create a new angle on the translation of trans identity. Translation equals manipulation and the power to re-present certain identities in texts: could trans identities be legitimized in order to expose all gender as unstable or could they be celebrated as unintelligible? The author looks in detail at the English translation of an eighteenth-century French memoir written by the Chevalier d'Eon. The author compares this to a translation of a seventeenth-century Spanish memoir written by Catalina de Erauso. D'Eon and Erauso use both feminine and masculine gender markers to refer to themselves, sometimes in the same sentence. This article examines how queering translation in order to preserve transgender identity can promote all identity (transgender or cisgender) and all writing (“original” or translated) as multilayered and queer.
Flows of Trans-Language
Authors: Larkosh Christopher
Published: December 2016

This introduction accompanies a partial translation of southern Brazilian author Wilson Bueno's 1992 short novel Mar Paraguayo (Paraguayan Sea), originally written in a hybrid language of Portuguese and Spanish commonly known as Portunhol and mixed with ample vocabulary from Guarani, a cross-border indigenous language of the region. The text serves as an example not only of literary cross-identification between the male author and the presumably female, but also quite possibly transgender, protagonist, but also cross-identification in the particular transnational political and social context of the Southern Cone of South America in the decade following a series of violent CIA-supported military dictatorships. By translating the text at least partially into a similarly hybrid “language of empire,” one comprising both elements of English and remnants of the original text, how might this textual transformation perform an implicit critique on the usage of language as cultural hegemony—not only in the dissemination of gender norms as an integral part of the ideology of authoritarian nation-states, but also in the transnational imposition of such regimes in the geopolitical context of late Cold War US imperialism? Along with providing this complex transnational, cultural, and linguistic context, this introductory text also attempts to shed some light on the facts surrounding the author's murder in 2010 and question the process of justice, as well as ask whether translation, in the ways it introduces new linguistic and cultural contexts for discussions/denunciations of violence against gender minorities, might take on yet another performative critical function.
Translation and Translocality in Gin Müller's Trans Gender Moves
Authors: Nord Iwo
Published: December 2016

This article reviews Gin Müller's play Trans Gender Moves, arguing that it has translation, on several levels and in its broadest sense, at the core of its themes and aesthetics. Based on the performers’ real-life stories, Trans Gender Moves is about what it might mean to live in transition between and across genders, but also languages, cultures, and times. With a departure from their own translational experience as an audience member, the author looks at how the play connects translation to interpretation and discusses how the stage is crafted into a “translation site,” or “translocality,” where the overlapping places, times, and languages of the performers’ everyday lives are explored. It is crucial to the politics of Trans Gender Moves that all the actors, as well as the director, have themselves experienced living trans lives and that the play, by telling the life stories in the words of the people who lived them, brings trans voices into the realm of authority. Moreover, it is especially noteworthy that the performers and the audience are involved in a form of engagement that begins from multiplicity. The author suggests that the play might be used to further reflect on the challenge of how we are to escape monolingualism in transgender studies.
The Control of Electromagnetic Fields at Work Regulations 2016 and medical MRI
Authors: Keevil Stephen F , Lomas David J
Published: December 2016

This short commentary provides the MRI community in the UK with practical advice on the impact of the Control of Electromagnetic Fields at Work Regulations 2016 in clinical and research settings. The regulations are the UK implementation of the European Union Physical Agents (Electromagnetic Fields) Directive, which has been the subject of much discussion and concern over the past 13 years. However, thanks to concessions achieved through negotiation, and sensible and proportionate transposition into UK law by the Health and Safety Executive, the negative consequences that were foreseen have been averted. MRI activities are exempt from the occupational exposure limits contained in the regulations, subject to meeting certain conditions. The commentary gives advice on compliance with these conditions and on how to satisfy the other requirements of the regulations, all of which are either already required under existing legislation or represent good MR safety practice.
Definition of cutting force constituents at turning depending on stress-strain properties of material worked

Cited in the reference literature, empirical formula is usually acceptable for standard materials processed. When new materials have to repeat the experiments again. The article presents the analytical relationships derived from the generalization of the work of Russian and American scientists, in particular: VF Bobrov, NI Lvov, VS Kushner, a Merchant ME, Astakhov, V.P. These relationships relate the values of the components of the cutting force with time and the actual yield strength of the material being processed, making it much easier to calculate the components of the experiment of cutting force in turning based on the radius of curvature of the cutting edge and tool wear on the rear surface. Shrinkage factor chips taken approximately equal to one. Experimental verification showed acceptability found dependences for practical use, particularly important in the processing of materials of new brands.

Strengthened Benders Cuts for Stochastic Integer Programs with Continuous Recourse
Authors: Bodur Merve , Dash Sanjeeb , Günlük Oktay , Luedtke James
Published: December 2016

With stochastic integer programming as the motivating application, we investigate techniques to use integrality constraints to obtain improved cuts within a Benders decomposition algorithm. We compare the effect of using cuts in two ways: (i) cut-and-project, where integrality constraints are used to derive cuts in the extended variable space, and Benders cuts are then used to project the resulting improved relaxation, and (ii) project-and-cut, where integrality constraints are used to derive cuts directly in the Benders reformulation. For the case of split cuts, we demonstrate that although these approaches yield equivalent relaxations when considering a single split disjunction, cut-and-project yields stronger relaxations in general when using multiple split disjunctions. Computational results illustrate that the difference can be very large, and demonstrate that using split cuts within the cut-and-project framework can significantly improve the performance of Benders decomposition.

Published: December 2016

This article present the results of an audit cycle which evaluated the quality of inpatient ward round documentation in a busy district general hospital before and after the implementation of a standardized proforma which was specifically designed for trauma and orthopaedic patients. In each cycle, 20 case notes were examined and the data analysed to examine three main areas: Diagnosis, management and/or discharge plan Objective assessments including neurovascular status, weight-bearing status, surgical wound review, observations, results of investigations and decision from the daily trauma meeting Logistics of the documentation such as legibility, date and time, name and grade of the doctor and contact number.

This audit demonstrated that using a ward round proforma can significantly enhance the quality of documentation and improve communication between multidisciplinary team members.

Construction and calibration of a low-cost bandage pressure monitor
Authors: Taylor R.J. , Taylor A.D.
Published: December 2016

This study describes the construction and calibration of a three-channel bandage pressure monitor and evaluates its in-service use. The monitor was constructed from a range of commercially available, relatively inexpensive components consisting of a pressure sensor, piezoresistive transducer, differential amplifier and liquid crystal display. The pressure sensors show a good ratio of thickness to surface area (< 10%) and are sufficiently robust and flexible to conform to most anatomical profiles. The transducers are internally calibrated and temperature-compensated to provide an accurate and stable measurement of gauge pressure relative to atmospheric pressure. During laboratory assessment and in-service use, the system has proved to be reliable, accurate (typically < ±0.5mmHg) and reproducible over repeated calibration.

For many years it was believed that disease within the deep venous system, such as a deep vein thrombosis or post-phlebitic limb, was the main cause of venous ulceration1. There is, however, increasing awareness of the impact of both deep and superficial venous valvular incompetence and reflux on the aetiology and healing of venous ulceration2,3. It is now widely accepted that superficial venous disease alone can result in increased venous pressure at the ankle and subsequent skin damage and ulceration4.
Management of chronic oedema

Lymphoedema is a treatable, although incurable, chronic condition that is usually attributed to insufficient drainage1. However, many tissue swellings maybe considered mixed forms of lymphoedema; for example, oedema will occur when the load of capillary filtrate is increased (as in the case of infection or chronic venous insufficiency) and the lymphatics fail to keep up with the demand on the drainage system2.
Paramedic-reported barriers towards use of CPR feedback devices in Perth, Western Australia
Authors: Talikowska Milena , Tohira Hideo , Brink Deon , Bailey Paul , Finn Professor Judith
Published: December 2016

Feedback devices for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) have been introduced across a number of emergency medical services (EMS) worldwide with the intention of increasing the provision of high quality CPR. In July 2014, St. John Ambulance Western Australia (SJA-WA) introduced the Q-CPRTM device into mandatory clinical practice; however usage rates were lower than expected.

Methods:

A voluntary, anonymous survey was issued to a convenience sample of SJA-WA paramedics from September to December 2015 to determine the paramedic-reported barriers towards the use of Q-CP

Results:

Of the 264 paramedics who participated in the survey, 41% reported having used Q-CPR during their last attempted resuscitation. Among those who had not used it, the reason most commonly cited (37%) was that a mechanical chest compression device arrived on scene prior to the Q-CPR being deployed. Secondly, other interventions were prioritized above the use of Q-CPR (20%). Thirdly, pain associated with use of the Q-CPR prevented its utilization in 17% of cases. Other reasons were less frequently reported.

Conclusion:

Lower usage rates appeared to be primarily linked to the utilisation of other equipment and interventions in preference to the Q-CPR and to a lesser extent due to pain associated with the use of such devices.

A primeira experiência de representação orgânica no Parlamento em Portugal (1895-1897)
Authors: Leal Manuel M. Cardoso
Published: December 2016

A primeira experiência de representação orgânica no Parlamento em Portugal ocorreu ao abrigo do decreto de 28/3/1895, que reservava às «classes produtoras» uma quota de 60 deputados (metade do total), limitando a 40 a quota de funcionários públicos e a 20 a de médicos e advogados. Es ta reforma susci tou logo grande oposição, não por causa das quotas, mas por introduzir grandes círculos sem representação de minorias tornando impossível aos partidos da oposição elegerem qualquer deputado, de tal modo que estes partidos se abstiveram na eleição de 1895. Nesta eleição as classes mais representadas foram as dos proprietários agrícolas (31 deputados) e dos interesses da indústria e comércio (17). Em 1896 foram abolidos os grandes círculos eleitorais; e em 1897, depois de uma eleição que ainda manteve as quotas por classes, as quotas foram abolidas por uma nova lei.
El mito del corporativismo en el “fascismo de izquierda” italiano.
Authors: Forti Steven
Published: December 2016

En el artículo se analiza el mito del corporativismo en la llamada “izquierda fascista” italiana a partir de un estudio de caso, el de La Verità, una revista mensual publicada en Italia entre 1936 y 1943. La Verità fue dirigida por el exlíder comunista Nicola Bombacci y en ella colaboraron un número no desdeñable de otros exdirigentes de los partidos de la izquierda italiana que se conviertieron al fascismo después de la instauración del régimen de Mussolini. A través del análisis de las publicaciones de La Verità sobre la cuestión corporativa, se pone de relieve como el grupo de colaboradores de la revista, incluido su mismo director, se convirtió en un megáfono del régimen fascista y en un aparato de irradiación acrítica de la propuesta corporativa del fascismo italiano hasta el verano de 1943.
A “Organização Nacional das conservas de peixe”: economia dos interesses e ordenamento corporativo (1927-1938)
Authors: Henriques Francisco
Published: December 2016

O projecto de reorganização estatal da indústria de conservas de peixe coincide com o período de formação das bases institucionais do Estado Novo e o impacto moderado da crise internacional em Portugal. Neste artigo procuramos demonstrar como a prévia “economia dos interesses” conserveiros procurou conter os efeitos de crise no sector em meados dos anos vinte e de como esses interesses se viriam a identificar com as soluções autoritárias preconizadas por Salazar em 1931. Na interpretação desta conjuntura daremos especial atenção às pressões dos mercados externos sobre a “cadeia de oferta” das conservas de peixe, antes e depois da Grande Depressão, para compreender o alcance e limite dos processos de “cartelização estatal”.

Há até sinais de que os historiadores intelectuais estão a retomar a abordagem de longa duração. Quais serão as razões para este ressurgimento da história intelectual de grande alcance e de que modo pode ela tornar-se metodologicamente robusta e, ao mesmo tempo, historicamente convincente? Este artigo propõe um modelo de história transtemporal baseado num contextualismo seriado para criar uma «história nas ideias» («history in ideas») que englobe séculos ou até milénios. Alguns exemplos-chave são retirados de trabalhos em desenvolvimento focados em ideias sobre a guerra civil vista desde a Roma antiga até à atualidade. O artigo conclui com uma breve reflexão sobre o impacto potencial das humanidades digitais na prática da história intelectual.
La recepción de las ideas revolucionarias (radicales, socialistas y republicanas) en Cataluña en el siglo XIX
Authors: Moliner Prada Antonio
Published: December 2016

Las ideas revolucionarias liberales, radicales, socialistas y republicanas llegaron a Cataluña a través de los reiterados exilios de catalanes y españoles en Francia y por la atracción de Barcelona de los exiliados italianos y franceses en el Trienio liberal y a lo largo del siglo XIX. El artículo contempla los distintos periodos revolucionarios, la articulación de los diversos movimientos populares y las culturas políticas respectivas. El socialismo utópico dejó una profunda huella en el republicanismo federal y en la cultura política democrática y popular. Tras la eclosión revolucionaria de la “Gloriosa” (1868-1873), la restauración monárquica de 1874 no consiguió frenar el impulso de las diversas culturas políticas republicanas y anarquistas y sus manifestaciones. La Marsellesa se convirtió en el referente por antonomasia de la libertad del pueblo catalán a lo largo del siglo.
Wittenberg e Roma na via do diálogo 500 anos após o início da Reforma de Lutero
Authors: Rodrigues Manuel Augusto
Published: December 2016

Com este contributo pretende-se evocar os 500 anos da Reforma de Lutero. Importa antes de mais falar da personalidade do «pai» do histórico movimento que se revestiu de enorme importância para a Europa, particularmente do Norte e de Leste, e também para o mundo. Entre outros seus colaboradores salientou-se Melanchton, o «praeceptor Germaniae», aquele que elaborou a primeira sistematização teológica da Reforma. Passados cinco séculos de duras tomadas de posição entre Wittenberg e Roma, constata-se que de há cerca de 50 a esta parte as duas confissões cristãs encetaram um diálogo frutuoso cujos resultados estão à vista. Alguns documentos como o Do Conflito à Comunhão (2013) abriram novos caminhos para reavaliar o passado e perspetivar o futuro. Reputados autores têm escrito importantes livros e artigos que mostram à evidência estarmos a assistir a uma mudança profunda de paradigma nas relações luterano-católicas correspondendo assim aos sinais dos tempos.
La cultura histórica sobre el «Año mil» en sus diferentes historiografías
Authors: Sanmartín Israel
Published: December 2016

El «año mil» es un tema de investigación importante en la Edad Media, sobre todo en la historiografía francesa. Su interés está vinculado a los llamados terrores del «año mil» y sobre su posible existencia. Además, el «año mil» forma parte de lo que algunos historiadores marxistas han denominado como la «revolución feudal». En este artículo se reflexiona sobre la cultura histórica en relación al año mil. Para ello, se estudiará cómo ha evolucionado la escritura sobre el «año mil» a lo largo del tiempo. Con esta premisa, comenzaremos por dotar de significado a lo que se denominará como «año mil». Después describiremos y analizaremos cómo las interpretaciones sobre el «año mil» han ido cambiando y transformándose a lo largo de la historia hasta la actualidad. Por último, haremos conclusiones de contenido e historiográficas con el fin de demostrar que el «año mil» ha sido un tema que ha cambiado en relación con la historia del momento y con la evolución historiográfica.
O Estado Novo brasileiro como espelho do Salazarismo: autoritarismo e corporativismo na seção «Crítica» da revista Brasília do Instituto de Estudos Brasileiros da FLU (1942-1944)
Authors: Assunção Marcello Felisberto Morais de
Published: December 2016

Nesse texto pretendemos analisar a leitura que os intelectuais portugueses faziam do Estado Novo brasileiro (1937-1945), perscrutando essas visões por meio de algumas críticas da Revista Brasília (1942-1944), publicada pelo Instituto de Estudos Brasileiros da FLUC. Essa leitura, segundo nossa tese, esteve vincada a certo espelhamento político entre o salazarismo e o varguismo que os intelectuais portugueses legitimaram a partir da comparação entre o autoritarismo e corporativismo de ambos Estados Novos no Brasil e em Portugal. Inicialmente, para melhor compreender essa construção, daremos um painel geral da Universidade de Coimbra em tempos de autoritarismo: o espaço social formativo dos intelectuais antiliberais, antissocialistas, corporativos e autoritários da revista Brasília. Para em seguida, analisar a imagem do Estado Novo brasileiro construída nas críticas a livros brasileiros por meio de três áreas do conhecimento em particular: Pedagogia, Direito e História.
THE AHARONOV-BOHM HAMILTONIAN WITH TWO VORTICES REVISITED
Authors: Košťáková Petra , Stovicek Pavel
Published: December 2016

We consider an invariant quantum Hamiltonian H = −ΔLB + V in the L2 space based on a Riemannian manifold ˜M with a discrete symmetry group Γ. To any unitary representation Λ of Γ one can relate another operator on M = ˜M /Γ, called HΛ, which formally corresponds to the same differential operator as H but which is determined by quasi-periodic boundary conditions. As originally observed by Schulman in theoretical physics and Sunada in mathematics, one can construct the propagator associated with HΛ provided one knows the propagator associated with H. This approach is reviewed and demonstrated on a quantum model describing a charged particle on the plane with two Aharonov-Bohm vortices. The construction of the propagator is explained in full detail including all substantial intermediate steps.
Black Mobility Matters: An Exploratory Study of Uber, Hacking, and the Commons in Baltimore
Authors: Malcolm Rio
Published: December 2016

Questions about the city – its boundaries, fabric, size, scale, culture, economy, historical and political contributions – populate the expansive horizon of architectural theory. Its immediate denotation is elusive, but the city is frequently captured within images of living networks: complex organisms, ecosystems, hives, colonies, bundles of neurons. These images of “city as living being,” present it as possessing essential organs connected by an indispensable circulatory system, regulated by a metabolism. Thus, the vitality and relative scale of a city can be measured from its transportation infrastructure and flow of capital. Many large-sized US cities survived the devastating effects of deindustrialization and white flight, maintaining adequate circulatory systems that connected urban residents to means of work. For the majority of medium-sized US cities – Baltimore, Cincinnati, Buffalo and Pittsburg to name a few – this was not the case. These cities suffered large declines in employment, population, and infrastructure maintenance, as they transitioned from an industrial to a tourist and service (FIRE) based economy. While mobile network technologies supplement existing transit systems in large-sized US cities, they exploit the hollowing out of medium-sized cities in the US post-industrial landscape. These technologies are attempting to both define urban labor and imagine how people connect to labor. In so doing they (re)imagine and (re)define the city itself, (re)organizing the way essential organs are connected and regulated. This article examines the economic and social practices of Uber and how it shapes, and is shaped by, the commons of medium-sized cities that revolutionizes traditional notions of urban work and mobility, but not necessarily for the better in the long run. Later, the article explores how this imagining impacts the commons through differentiating Uber from Hacking, a long-standing though illegal solution to urban immobility in Baltimore. Through their comparison, the article proposes a civic-minded, open-sourced on-demand car service that capitalizes on Baltimore’s car centricity and strengthens the commons through cooperative and mobile networks.
The originality of transposed maqams with few composed works: Examples from Ruhnevaz and Reng-i Dil
Az eser bestelenmiş şed makamların özgünlüğü: Ruhnevaz ve Reng-i Dil örnekleri
Authors: Berkman Esra
Published: December 2016

The Directorate General of Fine Arts of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Turkey organized a “Competition for Compositions in Infrequently-Used Maqams and Usuls” with November 1, 2005 as the deadline of applications, and the competition ended with the awards ceremony in April 2006. Almost 500 composers applied with their compositions in 50 infrequently-used maqams determined by a board, and a total of 50 works from six groups received awards. The organizing institution emphasized that the objectives of the competition were to bring those 50 identified maqams to light, to encourage composers to compose works in these maqams, and to enrich the repertory of maqamic music.Grouped by their tonics and çeşni’s, only two of these 50 maqams were şed (transposed) maqams. One was Rûhnevâz, the transposed maqam of Bûselik, with the tonic in Hüseynîaşîran, and the other was Reng-i Dil, the transposed maqam of Neveser, with the tonic in Acemaşîran. This article seeks to explain why so few compositions have been made in the maqams Rûhnevâz and Reng-i Dil, which are compared for similarities and differences with other maqams that use the same scales in the context of maqamic analysis and transpositions, as well as the originality of these maqams. ÖzetT.C. Kültür ve Turizm Bakanlığı, Güzel Sanatlar Genel Müdürlüğü tarafından 2005 yılı 1 Kasım günü çağrılı “Az Kullanılan Makam ve Usûllerde Beste Yarışması” düzenlenir ve Nisan 2006’da bir ödül töreniyle sonlandırılır. Bir kurul tarafından belirlenen 50 az kullanılmış makamda yaklaşık 500 eser sahibi başvuru yapar ve altı gruptan toplam elli eser ödüllendirilir. Düzen­leyen kurumca, yarışma düzenleme amacının, belirlenen 50 makamın yeniden gün ışığına çıkarılması, bestecilerin bu makamlarda eser üretmelerini teşvik etmek ve makam müziği repertuarını zenginleştirme olduğu vurgulan­mıştır.Karar perdeleri ve karar çeşnileri üzerinden bir tabloda gruplandırılan bu 50 makamın sadece ikisinin şed makam olduğu görülmüştür. Bir tanesi Hüseynîaşîran perdesi kararlı Buselik makamı şeddi Rûhnevâz diğeri ise, Acemaşîran perdesi kararlı Neveser makamı şeddi olan Reng-i Dil’dir. Bu yazıda, makamsal analiz, göçürme uygulaması ve aynı dizileri kullanan diğer makamlarla arasındaki benzerlikler / farklılıklar bağlamında, bunlara ek olarak,  özgünlük kavramı üzerinden irdelenmiş olan Rûhnevâz ve Reng-i Dil makamlarında, neden nicelik bakımdan az sayıda eser verilmiş olabileceği araştırılmıştır.

Rhododendron tomentosumHarmaja (formerlyLedum palustreL.) is a medicinal peat bog plant native to northern Europe, Asia and North America. This plant has a distinctive aroma thanks to the presence of essential oil, to which it also owes its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antimicrobial and insecticidal properties. However, in EuropeR. tomentosumis classified as an endangered species, mainly due to degradation of peatlands. In the present work, the micropropagation protocol forR. tomentosumwas established for the first time, providing both anex situconservation tool and a means of continuous production ofin vivoandin vitroplant material for further studies.R. tomentosummicroshoots were initiated from leaf explants and further multiplied using Schenk-Hildebrandt (SH) medium supplemented with 9.84 μM 2iP and 1.00 μM TDZ. The shoots were elongated on the SH medium supplemented with 24.6 μM 2iP and subsequently rooted using the perlite substrate saturated with half-strength Woody Plant medium supplemented with 1.0% sucrose and 4.92 μM IBA. The regenerated plants were hardened on the phytohormone-free SH medium and acclimatized using 3:1:1 deacidified peat:perlite:gravel substrate. The identity of the mother plant was confirmed at morphological and molecular levels and Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method was implemented to assess the genetic fidelity of the regenerants. The essential oil content of the maternal plant,in vitroshoots and the regenerants was determined by steam-distillation, and the obtained volatile fractions were analyzed by GC/MS.
