Published: May 2020

Hydrogen is now considered one of the most promising fuel of the future. It will be used in various applications, e.g. generating and storing electricity, fuel for automobiles and Jet Planes, hydrogen powered industries, and for all our domestic energy requirements. The challenges of efficiently generating and storing the Hydrogen gas is the playing field of many researchers around the globe. In this paper we studied three different designs of the generation cell where an elaborated design models for these three designs are put forth. The three designs were modeled into three electric circuits to calculate the plate’s parameters such as resistance, inductance and capacitance. A theoretical comparison based on these three parameters, has applied to determine the optimum design. A spiral plate design shows the highest HHO gases generation. The simulation data showed also, that minimizing the voltage at least to be 1.23V, will increase the effective current hence improving the efficiency. On the other hand, shaping the input signal to the energy generation system, will lead to stabilizing the temperature and reduce the power loses.

The Influence of Concave Pectoral Fin Morphology in The Performance of Labriform Swimming Robot
Authors: Naser Farah , Rashid Mofeed
Published: May 2020

Swimming performance underlies the biomechanical properties and functional morphology of fish fins. In this article, a pair of concave fin has been suggested, which is inspired from Labriform-mode Swimming fish. First, three concave fins with different sizes are proposed in order to choose the optimum size. All three fins have the same length but with different surface areas, such that each fin has an aspect ratio different from the others. Next, the complete design of the robot is suggested, the complete design of the body and pectoral fins were subjected to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis to show the validity of the proposed model. Finally, the physical model is suggested and provided with 3D printer of Polylactic Acid (PLA) with a density of 1240 kg/ m3. The swimming robot fins have been examined by CFD analysis provided by Solidworks® to evaluate the highest thrust and lowest drag forces. The result showed that the optimum fin is the one with the lowest aspect ratio fin produces the highest drag, whereas the highest aspect ratio fin gives the lowest drag and thrust, therefore; a value of aspect ratio in between these two cases is chosen. While other types of examinations are based on motion analysis of the 3D design, the required motor torque is calculated in order to select a suitable servomotor for this purpose, which a HS-5086WP waterproof servomotor can achieve the calculated torque.

How Much Do Underestimated Field Strengths from Zeeman–Doppler Imaging Affect Spin-down Torque Estimates?
Authors: See Victor , Lehmann Lisa , Matt Sean P. , Finley Adam J.
Published: May 2020

Numerous attempts to estimate the rate at which low-mass stars lose angular momentum over their lifetimes fill the literature. One approach is to use magnetic maps derived from Zeeman–Doppler imaging (ZDI) in conjunction with so-called “braking laws.” The use of ZDI maps has advantages over other methods because it allows information about the magnetic field geometry to be incorporated into the estimate. However, ZDI is known to underestimate photospheric field strengths due to flux cancellation effects. Recently, Lehmann et al. conducted synthetic ZDI reconstructions on a set of flux transport simulations to help quantify the amount by which ZDI underestimates the field strengths of relatively slowly rotating and weak activity solar-like stars. In this paper, we evaluate how underestimated angular momentum loss rate estimates based on ZDI maps may be. We find that they are relatively accurate for stars with strong magnetic fields but may be underestimated by a factor of up to ∼10 for stars with weak magnetic fields. Additionally, we re-evaluate our previous work that used ZDI maps to study the relative contributions of different magnetic field modes to angular momentum loss. We previously found that the dipole component dominates spin-down for most low-mass stars. This conclusion still holds true even in light of the work of Lehmann et al.

In order to clarify the properties of the secondary clump star HD 226808 (KIC 5307747), we combined four years of data from Kepler space photometry with high-resolution spectroscopy of the High Efficiency and Resolution Mercator Échelle Spectrograph mounted on the Mercator telescope. The fundamental atmospheric parameters, radial velocities, rotation velocities, and elemental abundance for Fe and Li were determined by analyzing line strengths and fitting-line profiles, based on a 1D local thermodynamic equilibrium model atmosphere. Second, we analyzed a photometric light curve obtained by Kepler and we extracted asteroseismic data of this target using Lets Analysis, Use and Report of Asteroseismology, a new seismic tool developed for the study of evolved FGK solar-like stars. We determined the evolutionary status and effective temperature, surface gravity, metallicity, microturbulence, and chemical abundances for Li, Ti, Fe, and Ni for HD 226808, by employing spectroscopy, asteroseismic scaling relations, and evolutionary structure models built in order to match observed data. Our results also show that an accurate synergy between good spectroscopic analysis and asteroseismology can provide a jump toward understanding evolved stars.
Trapping of Cosmic Rays in MHD Turbulence
Authors: Xu Siyao , Lazarian Alex
Published: May 2020

Astrophysical plasmas are turbulent and magnetized. The interaction between cosmic rays (CRs) and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence is a fundamental astrophysical process. Based on the current understanding of MHD turbulence, we revisit the trapping of CRs by magnetic mirrors in the context of MHD turbulence. In compressible MHD turbulence, isotropic fast modes dominate both trapping and gyroresonant scattering of CRs. The presence of trapping significantly suppresses the pitch-angle scattering and the spatial diffusion of CRs along the magnetic field. The resulting parallel diffusion coefficient has a weaker dependence on CR energy at higher energies. In incompressible MHD turbulence, the trapping by pseudo-Alfvén modes dominates over the gyroresonant scattering by anisotropic Alfvén and pseudo-Alfvén modes at all pitch angles and prevents CRs from diffusion.
Radial Migration of Gap-opening Planets in Protoplanetary Disks. II. The Case of a Planet Pair
Authors: Kanagawa Kazuhiro D. , Szuszkiewicz Ewa
Published: May 2020

When two planets are born in a protoplanetary disk, they may enter into mean-motion resonance as a consequence of convergent planetary migration. The formation of mean-motion resonances is important for understanding how planetary systems are shaped in disk environments. Motivated by recent progress in the comprehension of the migration of partial gap-opening planets, we have investigated the orbital evolution of planet pairs in a wide range of masses and disk properties with the aim to find out when resonance capture is likely to happen. Using the formula for the migration timescale of a gap-opening planet developed in our previous work, we have derived a simple criterion that allows us to predict when the migration will be convergent (divergent). Further, we have verified the criterion using two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations. We have found that the resonant pair of planets formed at the early phase of evolution can depart from resonance at later times because the migration speed of the outer planet slows down due to gap formation. Moreover, adopting our formula for the migration timescale, we have also carried out three-body simulations, which confirm the results of hydrodynamic simulations. Finally, we have compared our predictions with observations, selecting a sample of known two-planet systems.
An exploration of disease awareness among tuberculosis patients: The empirical link between attitude and self-preventive care
Authors: Mokhtar Khairiah Salwa , Rahman Nurulhasanah Abdul , Haron Mahmod Sabri , Rahman Nur Hairani Abd
Published: May 2020

Introduction: The prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) remains alarmingly high in developing countries, including Malaysia. Recognised as the leading global infectious disease, untreated TB can be fatal. TB is easily spread through the air, and any close contact with a TB patient can put others at risk. This study therefore aimed to investigate the level of awareness of TB among TB patients and how their attitudes affect self-preventive healthcare.

Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted using a validated self-administered questionnaire at 18 hospitals in six states of Malaysia, namely, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Kelantan, Sabah, and Sarawak in 2015. The study sample comprised 1600 TB patients who were randomly selected using data obtained from the Disease Control Division, Ministry of Health Malaysia. A total of 1368 of the completed questionnaires were considered usable and included in the statistical analysis.

Results: Overall, the level of TB awareness was found to be high, and the respondents possessed positive attitudes towards TB and health-seeking behaviours. Self-preventive care among the TB patients was determined as being at a moderate level. With regard to contact with others, the patients were more comfortable around their families than their friends and neighbours.

Conclusions: More health education programmes are recommended to cultivate positive attitudes towards TB, to encourage communities to have a better understanding of TB, and to create awareness among patients of the proper ways to practice self-preventive care.

Published: May 2020

Introduction: Most sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are curable, but inappropriate treatment can lead to serious complications. The importance of setting up STI screening programs has been highlighted in various studies, the absence of such national programs accounting for the lack of STI statistics in Romania. The purpose of our study was to evaluate multiplex PCR as a screening method for the most common 6 STIs and establish their frequency in a group of symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. We aimed to highlight STI associations and correlations between STI pathogens and symptomatology, demographic status, antecedents or sexual partners.

Methodology: A total of 249 patients, both symptomatic and asymptomatic, were included in this study. Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseia gonorrhoeae (NG), Trichomonas vaginalis (TV), Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU), Mycoplasma hominis (MH) and Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) were all identified in urine samples via multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The SPSS IBM program was employed for statistical analysis.

Results: 32.12% of the patients were found positive, some presenting multiple infections. The results are representative for the Romanian male population. 107 STI pathogens were identified, most frequent being CT, UU and NG. Several statistical correlations between patient characteristics and the presence of STIs have been demonstrated.

Conclusions: The results suggest that multiplex PCR meets all the prerequisites for a screening method, allowing the use of multiple specimens and enabling simultaneous detection of multiple pathogens in a short period of time. STI identification via multiplex PCR proved to be an effective method for quantifying their frequency in Romania.

Introduction: Due to recent outbreaks of Dengue and Chikungunya and an absence of effective monitoring of the mosquito Aedes spp. in the municipality of São Raimundo das Mangabeiras, State of Maranhão, we aimed to demonstrate the potential of ovitraps used together with mathematical models and geotechnology to improve control of this mosquito.

Methodology: From January to December of 2017, ovitraps were set up in five different neighborhoods (Centro, Vila Cardoso, Nazaré, São José e São Francisco). Positivity indices were calculated for each ovitraps, besides the egg density and average number of eggs. Some of the eggs were used for species identification. Mathematical models of correlation and logistic regression were used to evaluate the influence of abiotic factors on egg distribution during each month. Spatial analysis was carried out using georeferencing.

Results: A total of 4,453 eggs were counted, with A. aegypti and A. albopictus present in each month and neighborhood. The mathematical models show that rainfall can result in a significant increase in the number of eggs. Entomological calculation indicates that there is a high risk of dissemination of arboviruses in the area. Spatially, it was possible to indicate sites with the largest number of collected eggs, which may facilitate future interventions.

Conclusions: As such, ovitraps have proven to be an effective and low cost method for the monitoring of Aedes spp., and that its use may help in arboviruses prevention campaigns.
Does protein content influences accumulation and biomagnification of tantalum in fishes and invertebrates of marine coastal environments?
Authors: Ricciardi Rocío , Espejo Winfred , Barra Ricardo , Chiang Gustavo , Celis José E.
Published: May 2020

Tantalum (Ta) is a rare transition metal widely used in the manufacture of new technologies such as computers, cell phones, solar panels and implants in biomedicine, and their use is continuously increasing. Most non-essential metals are immobilized in the organism through complexation with proteins, but it is not known if new-technology elements (such as Ta) present the same behavior. In aquatic environments, metals tend to concentrate in biota and some can be biomagnified through the trophic chain, even reaching humans. This study aimed to investigate any possible relationship between Ta and proteins. Invertebrates and fishes were collected from coastal marine ecosystems of northern Chile, Patagonia, and South Shetland Islands (Antarctic Peninsula). A direct positive relationship was found between Ta and total proteins throughout the food chain from marine ecosystems of the Patagonia and the Antarctic Peninsula area, revealing that proteins are probably the pathway by which Ta bioaccumulates and biomagnifies in macroinvertebrates and fish of pristine coastal marine environments. Our data suggest that site-specific factors (e.g., water temperature, pH, geography) may be influencing the environmental fate of Ta. Therefore, further studies are needed to understand the biological implications of this metal.

Published: May 2020

Benthic marine organisms are a natural source of bioactive substances with applications in medicine to treat infections, cancer and other diseases. In Chile, this community possesses rich biodiversity that has been scarcely studied as a producer of bioactive substance so far. For that reason, we studied the potential production of antibiotic substances in 28 benthic species that inhabit the coast of the Tarapacá region in northern Chile, and belong to phylum Porifera, Cnidaria, Mollusca, Sipuncula, Annelida, Echinodermata and Chordata. The antibiotic activity was evaluated on ethanol extract obtained from their entire body or dissected tissues and was tested against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 with the diffusion agar method. According to the halo diameter, the antibiotic potency was classified as mild, regular or high. In this way, we could identify 21 benthic species as a producer of antibiotic substances with different antibiotic potency. This activity was found in more than one tissue and with regular or high antibiotic activity in the species; Acanthopleura echinata, Chiton cumingsii, Aulacomya atra, Fissurella crassa, Fissurella latimarginata, Luidia magellanica, Stichaster striatus, Arbacia spatuligera, and Loxechinus albus. The extracts obtained from the entire body and showed regular and high antibiotic activity were from the species; Phymanthea pluvia, Abarenicola affinis, Glycera americana, and Ophiactis kroyeri. In conclusion, northern Chile possesses a rich biodiversity of benthic species producer of antibiotic substances, and more research is encouraged to identify these substances with application in medicine.

Published: May 2020

Indian Ocean coral reef ecosystems are some of the least explored, least funded and least protected worldwide. "First Descent: Indian Ocean" represents a series of research expeditions undertaken by Nekton between 2018-2022 in partnership with Governments in the Indian Ocean region to contribute to establishing a baseline of marine life and catalyse 30% protection by 2030. Two recent expeditions, the 2018 WILDOCEANS/ACEP Comoros Mesophotic Biodiversity Expedition (led by WILDTRUST), and the 2019 First Descent: Seychelles (led by Nekton Foundation) systematically surveyed deeper reef ecosystems in those areas, resulting in collections of biological meterial and underwater footage.

In August 2019, taxonomic experts from across the globe, attended a workshop in order to identify the collected material and provide a first snapshot of the diversity of the surveyed habitats. Part of the workshop also focused on providing taxonomic training to host nation scientists and early career researchers.

This document is a report on the proceedings and some of the first outcomes of this workshop.
« Keep calm and Drink Tea » : comprendre les préférences alimentaires des consommateurs anglo-saxons en France
Authors: Lichy Jessica , Kachour Maher , Pon Kévin
Published: May 2020

Le discours actuel sur le marketing – y compris les notions de village mondial et de sous-cultures internationales – nous porterait à croire que les consommateurs achètent et consomment une abondance de produits provenant de différents pays. Les produits alimentaires similaires peuvent désormais être achetés presque partout dans le monde grâce à l’expansion mondiale des marchés alimentaires et aux efforts de commercialisation transnationaux. Au fur et à mesure que le commerce devient de plus en plus international et interculturel, une compréhension tacite de la façon dont le pays d’origine ( country-of-origin ou « COO ») peut influencer le comportement des consommateurs sera fondamentale pour les détaillants, les gestionnaires et les chercheurs en comportement du consommateur. L’un des principaux objectifs de cette étude est d’examiner deux types d’immigrants (expatriés et immigrants auto-initiés ), afin de mieux comprendre l’effet de produits alimentaires COO lors des achats d’épicerie. L’accent est mis sur les immigrants de langue maternelle anglaise vivant dans la région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, dans le sud-est de la France. En s’inspirant de la littérature sur l’acculturation et la mobilité internationale, l’enquête emploie des méthodes quantitatives pour étudier la mesure dans laquelle des facteurs spécifiques tels que le prix, le sexe, l’âge et la durée de résidence dans un pays étranger peuvent influencer le choix du consommateur lorsqu’il achète ces produits à l’épicerie. Les résultats suggèrent qu’il y a une forte demande de produits alimentaires COO, parmi la population immigrée, et qu’ils sont prêts à payer des prix gonflés pour les marchandises importées de leur pays d’origine.

Cet article décrit l’opération d’envergure qui a conduit, entre 2012 et 2013, au versement des archives du Musée national des Arts et Traditions populaires aux Archives Nationales mais aussi au Mucem à Marseille : quels ont été les critères de « partage » des fonds, la mise en place du « chantier des archives », quels volumes ont été traités, quelle a été la temporalité des opérations de versement. L’auteur entend ainsi répondre directement aux interrogations du public sur ce que sont devenus ces fonds essentiels relatifs à l’ethnomusicologie de la France et aujourd’hui comme hier considérés comme une source de renouveau des musiques traditionnelles.
Les « archives sonores » du CNRS et du musée de l’Homme
Authors: Julien-Da Cruz Lima Aude
Published: May 2020

Déménagé en 2009, le centre de recherche en Ethnomusicologie, rattaché au laboratoire d’Ethnologie et de Sociologie comparative basé à l’université de Nanterre, conserve les archives historiques de l’ancien département du musée de l’Homme, fondé par André Schaeffner en 1929. Dix ans après le déménagement, l’autrice dresse ici un bilan. Évoquant les modalités de la constitution d’un fonds d’une grande diversité qui, autour des enregistrements des ethnomusicologues, témoigne des activités d’une discipline pourvoyeuse d’archives qu’elles soient scientifiques ou administratives. Elle décrit la composition de cet ensemble historique qui continue de s’enrichir et de s’actualiser, évoque les questions soulevées suite à la séparation du CNRS et du musée qui reste en partie propriétaire des archives et celles liées à la conservation des documents au sein d’une université dont ce n’est pas directement la vocation. Elle nous informe de l’état d’avancement du traitement de ces fonds sonores et documentaires tant rétroactif que courant (inventaire, catalogage, numérisation, mise en ligne) opéré grâce à de nombreux partenariats.

Depuis 2011, le CREM, centre de recherche en Ethnomusicologie (http://crem-cnrs.fr) basé à l’université de Paris Nanterre, équipe du laboratoire d’Ethnologie et de Sociologie comparative du CNRS, diffuse en ligne les archives sonores de l’ancien musée de l’Homme grâce à une plateforme web intitulée Telemeta. Joséphine Simonnot qui en est la principale instigatrice, explique la genèse de la plateforme qui huit ans plus tard, ne cesse d’évoluer et de s’enrichir.
Les archives sonores ethnomusicologiques du CNRS-musée de l’Homme
Authors: Mifune Marie-France , Spielmann Florabelle
Published: May 2020

Cet article décrit deux projets de valorisation scientifique menés, dans le cadre de deux post-doctorats, sur des fonds sonores du centre de recherche en Ethnomusicologie (université de Nanterre) présents dans la base Telemeta ayant impliqué ethnomusicologues et informaticiens. La première partie présente les enjeux à propos des développements d’outils d’indexation et d’analyse automatique sur des volumes importants d’archives sonores. La seconde porte sur l’étude de l’évolution historique de certaines caractéristiques musicales attachées au genre steelband calypso et montre que des techniques d’extraction automatique d’information musicale ont pu être mobilisées pour réaliser une étude computationnelle sur un corpus d’enregistrements de steelbands archivés dans la base Telemeta.
Du « corpus des musiques ethniques de la France » au projet Les Réveillées
Authors: Gasnault François
Published: May 2020

Cet article présente les enjeux scientifiques à l’origine de la conception du projet Les Réveillées, lequel ambitionne de rendre accessibles la plupart des données multimédias (sonores, textuelles, graphiques, photographiques et filmiques) qu’il mobilise et qui sont aujourd’hui principalement conservées aux Archives nationales. Ces données, encore largement inédites, ont été réunies entre 1939 et 1983 par Claudie Marcel-Dubois et Maguy Pichonnet-Andral, deux chercheuses CNRS affectées au « musée-laboratoire » des Arts et Traditions populaires, au fil d’une démarche systématique d’enquête sur le terrain, menée en France rurale, dans les départements d’outre-mer et les territoires francophones d’Amérique du nord (Caraïbes inclues). À défaut de former un « corpus des musiques ethniques françaises » jamais publié, elles seront finalement dévoilées sur une plateforme dont la mise en ligne est prévue courant 2020.
Conception et mise en œuvre de la plateforme du projet Les Réveillées
Authors: Neveux Florence
Published: May 2020

Le projet Les Réveillées poursuit un double objectif : permettre au public de découvrir un corpus d’archives ethnomusicologiques constituées pendant plus de quarante ans par Claudie Marcel-Dubois et Maguy Pichonnet-Andral, et doter les chercheurs d’un dispositif permettant à la fois d’approfondir la description de ces données et de publier des travaux qui en offrent une meilleure compréhension. Depuis le lancement du projet, un long travail de modélisation et de structuration, auquel ont contribué chercheurs, informaticiens et professionnels de l’information scientifique et technique a permis de constituer les métadonnées descriptives du corpus. Articulant l’entrepôt de données de recherche de l’EHESS et le logiciel Omeka, la plateforme Les Réveillées, dont la mise en ligne est prévue courant 2020, offrira différents niveaux d’accès aux données, la possibilité de les analyser précisément et celle de les réutiliser pour éditer collaborativement de nouveaux contenus.
Far from Good Design: Social Responsibility and Waldemar Cordeiro’s Early Theory of Form
Authors: Nelson Adele
Published: May 2020

By examining Waldemar Cordeiro’s theory of form in little studied and well-known texts, including a newly uncovered series of talks, of the late 1940s–early 1950s, this article revises the conflation of Cordeiro’s thinking, and the aims of Brazilian Concretism, with Max Bill’s proposals and reveals that Cordeiro closely linked his visions of abstraction and Concrete art to social responsibility. It also sheds new light on the motivations and context for Cordeiro’s deployment of Konrad Fielder’s ideas and his dialogues and disagreements with Mário Pedrosa and Sérgio Milliet.
A Conceptual Definition of the Artist’s Book and A New Look at Ulises Carrión’s Thinking
Authors: Silveira Paulo
Published: May 2020

Este artigo comenta a importância das pesquisas sobre a produção e o pensamento do artista mexicano Ulises Carrión (1941-1989) durante sua vida na Europa, destacando a sua convergência para o espírito de rede das vanguardas pan-americanas e europeias dos anos 1970, a importância de sua livraria Other Books and So, alguns de seus trabalhos e suas estratégias ligadas à rede e às práticas culturais. Procura-se enfatizar que a compreensão de seu pensamento e de sua produção artística pode possibilitar uma melhor compreensão a respeito das dúvidas conceituais pela designação “livro de artista”, designação esta estabelecida como nós a conhecemos nos anos 1970 e nos anos 2010 vivendo momento de ampla e renovada divulgação, de feiras e exposições a pesquisas acadêmicas.
Geometry and movement, Latin Americans in the International Art Network
Authors: Rossi Maria Cristina
Published: May 2020

The work of Latin American constructive and kinetic artists produced in the nineteen-sixties is well recognized by art histories. It has been the topic of countless exhibitions and enjoyed increasing value on the international art market. Notwithstanding, the valorization of those contributions and their interactions still requires novel visions capable of dislodging crystalized readings. We ask ourselves, then, in what scenes these emerging proposals took shape. How did artists come into contact and engage in exchange? What were their guiding interests?In this paper, I attempt to retrace some of the paths Argentine constructive artists drew in their interest in communicating their proposals and forging artistic exchanges. In so doing, I seek to shed light on zones neglected by art history’s traditional narratives. I attempt to observe the convergences and divergences between the paths drawn by those artists without falling into the notion of subalternity at play in those traditional narratives.

Mário Pedrosa, un parcours moderne 1900-1981
Authors: Leenhardt Jacques
Published: May 2020

En proposant d’articuler diverses institutions dans un programme global, Mário Pedrosa visait à décloisonner les champs épistémiques, à élargir le concept et le territoire de l’art, à connecter l’art dit primitif aux autres formes, sages ou folles, d’expression de la sensibilité, à mettre le spectateur dans une position active au sein du dispositif. Que cet universalisme fondé sur les structures anthropologiques de la perception constitue également un programme politique, c’est ce que tentera de montrer cet article analysant les différentes institutions muséales dont il a eu la responsabilité.
De Europa a América: la obra critica de Marta Traba y sus evoluciones
Authors: Crousier Elsa
Published: May 2020

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la evolución de la crítica de arte de Marta Traba (crítica de arte argentino-colombiana, 1923-1983), porque las diferentes teorías que defendió entre los años 1945 y 1980 son representativas de los puntos de contacto y divergencia entre las escenas del arte latino-americano de su época.Se trata de un estudio centrado en un caso específico, que reúne las dos principales tendencias teóricas del momento y refleja la evolución del pensamiento crítico latinoamericano entre 1945 y 1980.Marta Traba es un personaje central de la teoría y la historia del arte latinoamericano, y podemos destacar en su obra dos períodos críticos. Primero, entre 1945 y los años 1960, Marta Traba adopta un punto de vista eurocéntrico, que toma como referencia el arte moderno europeo; pero a partir de los años 1960-65, dándose cuenta del peligro que representa la internacionalización de las artes latinoamericanas, empieza a defender un arte moderno latinoamericano, que refleje o respete las identidades culturales regionales.Mostraremos en este artículo en qué medida se puede vincular esta evolución teórica con la definición del arte moderno en América latina a lo largo del siglo XX..
