Provenance analysis of the Late Triassic Yichuan Basin: constraints from zircon U-Pb geochronology
Authors: Meng Xianghong , Zhang Yu , Wang Duoyun , Zhang Xue
Published: March 2018

Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) U-Pb dating has been performed on detrital zircons from the Chunshuyao Formation sandstone of Yichuan Basin. The ages of 85 detrital zircon grains are divided into three groups: 252-290 Ma, 1740-2000 Ma, and 2400-2600 Ma. The lack of Early Paleozoic and Neoproterozoic U-Pb ages indicates that there is no input from the Qinling Orogen, because the Qinling Orogen is characterized by Paleozoic and Neoproterozoic material. In combination with previous research, we suggest that the source of the Chunshuyao Formation is most likely recycled from previous sedimentary rocks from the North China Craton. In the Late Triassic, the Funiu ancient land was uplifted which prevented source material from the Qinling Orogen. Owing to the Indosinian orogeny, the strata to the east of the North China Craton were uplifted and eroded. The Yichuan Basin received detrital material from the North China Craton.
Spiritual Care und die multiprofessionelle Zusammenarbeit von Seelsorgern und Psychotherapeuten im ambulanten Kontext
Authors: Boettcher Birthe
Published: March 2018

Zur Einbindung von Spiritualität/Religiosität (S/R) in die klinische Behandlung gibt es mittlerweile verschiedene konzeptuelle Ansätze, die unter dem Begriff Spiritual Care gefasst werden können. Bisher finden diese Konzepte außerhalb des klinischen Kontextes nur wenig Berücksichtigung, obwohl Spiritualität und Religiosität sowohl als Ressource, aber auch als Stressor nicht übersehen werden sollten. Der Artikel stellt die derzeitige Situation der interdisziplinären Zusammenarbeit mit Blickrichtung auf den Einbezug von S/R im klinischen Setting dar, um im Anschluss daran am Beispiel von Psychotherapeuten und Seelsorgern zu überlegen, inwiefern die konzeptuellen Ansätze auch für das ambulante Setting genutzt werden könnten. Es wird dabei im Rahmen der Diskussion auch auf Möglichkeiten und Herausforderungen der Zusammenarbeit eingegangen.
Nominalization patterns in Alto Perené, a Kampa Arawak language of Peru
Authors: Mihas Elena
Published: March 2018

The paper investigates the inventory of nominalizing forms and examines restrictions on the morphosyntactic behavior of lexical and clausal nominalizations in Alto Perené (also called Ashéninka Perené), a Kampa Arawak language of Peru. It is shown that the deverbalization of lexical nominalizations is basically total. The substantivization cline of lexical nominalizations is characterized by various degrees of acquisition of nominal properties. Clausal nominalizations are found to retain aspect and realis marking and preserve argument structure. Clausal realis nominalizations display a variety of nominal characteristics such as spatial case, nominal plural number, and definiteness marking. Clausal irrealis nominalizations show highly restricted nominal properties. The relativization strategy is formed with the help of the participant nominalizers -ri and -ni.

appears widely in economics, physics, mechanics, and other fields. The non-standard (partial) Hamiltonian systems arise from physical Hamiltonian structures as well as from artificial Hamiltonian structures. We introduce the term ‘artificial Hamiltonian’ for the Hamiltonian of a model having no physical structure. We provide here explicitly the notion of an artificial Hamiltonian for dynamical systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Also, we show that every system of second-order ODEs can be expressed as a non-standard (partial) Hamiltonian system of first-order ODEs by introducing an artificial Hamiltonian. This notion of an artificial Hamiltonian gives a new way to solve dynamical systems of first-order ODEs and systems of second-order ODEs that can be expressed as a non-standard (partial) Hamiltonian system by using the known techniques applicable to the non-standard Hamiltonian systems. We employ the proposed notion to solve dynamical systems of first-order ODEs arising in epidemics.
La ciencia y el mundo físico de acuerdo a W. T. Stace
Authors: Aboites Vicente , Aboites Gilberto
Published: March 2018

Se presenta y expone el argumento de W. T. Stace sobre el realismo, señalando no que éste sea falso sino solamente que no hay absolutamente ninguna razón para considerar que sea verdadero y por tanto no tenemos por qué creerlo. En seguida esto se aplica a la discusión de la pregunta: ¿Cómo sabemos que los átomos existen? Para lo cual se hace referencia a algunas de las respuestas científicas más importantes conocidas que son en orden cronológico: 1) La ley de las proporciones definidas o Ley de Proust, 2) la teoría cinética de los gases, 3) el movimiento Browniano y, 4) imágenes de microscopio de efecto túnel. Concluyendo que, por remoto que parezca, existe la posibilidad lógica de que las no concebidas propuestas teóricas expliquen los resultados observacionales actuales sin requerir de la hipótesis atómica.
El hombre como “el animal enfermo”: Sobre el significado de salud y enfermedad en la antropología crítica de Nietzsche
Authors: Aurenque Diana
Published: March 2018

En las últimas décadas, y gracias a la publicación de trabajos de autores como Jacques Derrida y Giorgio Agamben, se ha reactivado y replanteado en el mundo filosófico la clásica pregunta por la relación entre lo humano y lo animal. Particularmente, la filosofía de Friedrich Nietzsche proporciona uno de los ejemplos más notables donde la relación entre existencia y animalidad ha sido esbozada en términos tanto de cercanías y lejanías fisiológico-empíricas como también teóricas, proporcionándonos un modo sumamente novedoso y del todo productivo de afrontar la relación humano/animal. En este sentido, el presente trabajo tiene por fin los siguientes objetivos: 1) En primer lugar, la contribución contextualiza y examina los alcances y las consecuencias de la definición Nietzscheana del hombre como “el animal enfermo” (“das kranke Tier”), para luego, 2) interpretar el significado tanto médico-biológico como también metafórico de la salud y enfermedad, como ámbitos agonísticos, para con ello 3) evaluar la singularidad de la forma de ser “enferma” del hombre. Finalmente, el estudio se pregunta y evalúa 4) hasta qué punto dicho planteamiento efectivamente representa un avance para el estudio de los límites entre hombres y animales.

La narrativa de Adriana González Mateos. Evasión, erotismo y violencia
Authors: Nava Hernández Marisol
Published: March 2018

Adriana González Mateos (1961) es una de las escritoras mexicanas más relevantes de las últimas décadas. Su importancia radica en la calidad estética evidenciada en Cuentos para ciclistas y jinetes y El lenguaje de las orquídeas; ambas obras evidencian una narrativa transgresora, intensa y estimulante, pues temáticamente abordan la evasión de la cotidianeidad mediante el erotismo y la violencia, lo cual analizaremos en el presente trabajo. Particularmente, nos centraremos en sus personajes femeninos: las adolescentes con sus respectivas iniciaciones eróticas y las mujeres adultas con sus problemáticas interpersonales, marcadas por la ausencia o libre demostración del erotismo.Dichas tematizaciones se enriquecen con el hábil recurso de las historias alternas o superpuestas, además del uso de diversos símbolos.

Combined Blockade of Interleukin-1α and -1β Signaling Protects Mice from Cognitive Dysfunction after Traumatic Brain Injury
Authors: Newell Elizabeth A. , Todd Brittany P. , Mahoney Jolonda , Pieper Andrew A. , Ferguson Polly J. , Bassuk Alexander G.
Published: March 2018

Diffuse activation of interleukin-1 inflammatory cytokine signaling after traumatic brain injury (TBI) elicits progressive neurodegeneration and neuropsychiatric dysfunction, and thus represents a potential opportunity for therapeutic intervention. Although interleukin (IL)-1α and IL-1β both activate the common type 1 IL-1 receptor (IL-1RI), they manifest distinct injury-specific roles in some models of neurodegeneration. Despite its potential relevance to treating patients with TBI, however, the individual contributions of IL-1α and IL-1β to TBI-pathology have not been previously investigated. To address this need, we applied genetic and pharmacologic approaches in mice to dissect the individual contributions of IL-1α, IL-β, and IL-1RI signaling to the pathophysiology of fluid percussion–mediated TBI, a model of mixed focal and diffuse TBI. IL-1RI ablation conferred a greater protective effect on brain cytokine expression and cognitive function after TBI than did individual IL-1α or IL-1β ablation. This protective effect was recapitulated by treatment with the drug anakinra, a recombinant naturally occurring IL-1RI antagonist. Our data thus suggest that broad targeting of IL-1RI signaling is more likely to reduce neuroinflammation and preserve cognitive function after TBI than are approaches that individually target IL-1α or IL-1β signaling.
Who Controls the Land? Lessons from Armed Takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge
Authors: Wang Grace A.
Published: March 2018

A heavily armed militia occupied the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge from January 2 through February 21, 2016. The standoff began as a protest against the prosecution and incarceration of two local ranchers, although there has been a long-standing animus among some ranchers in the western United States. A brief history of the Bureau of Land Management lands is presented, with a focus on the management of grazing in the West. Some ranchers, such as Cliven Bundy of Nevada, have refused to pay grazing fees because of their profound hostility toward the federal government, and an earlier 2014 standoff in Bunkerville, Nevada, set the stage for the occupation at Malheur.

The sector of IT is an exceptionally male professional area, and it is rather difficult for women to become professionals in this field. This paper aims to identify the expression level of professional identity among Lithuanian IT students from the gender perspective. Therefore, this article addresses the following research questions: what career decisions were taken when choosing studies in IT? What features describe the professional identity of IT students in different stages of its development? What factors influence the formation of the professional identity in IT from the gender perspective?The sample consisted of 100 informants (17 females and 83 males) that wrote their self-reflections under the topic “My Career.” A qualitative content analysis was used. The study revealed that female students have low levels of professional identity for IT, while male students express a mostly strong professional identity.
Formalioji lyčių studijų mokslo komunikacija: lyginamoji analizė

Published: March 2018

Science communication is important as it is a mean to inform the society about the problems discussed in science; it’s also necessary for scientists to learn about the way society understands their work and what are society’s expectations regarding it. The dissemination of scientific knowledge is also important for making informed decisions.Gender studies are a field of an interdisciplinary study devoted to issues of social injustice on levels both local and the global. It is a kind of science of civic engagement, which aims, among other things, to help to create a just social policy for both women and men.The aim of this article is to compare the various aspects of formal scientific communication in the science journal Gender Studies and Research, social science journals Sociologija. Mintis ir veiksmas, Filosofija. Sociologija, Socialiniai tyrimai, Socialinis darbas, Socialinių mokslų studijos, Tiltai and Acta paedagogica Vilnensia with formal science communication in the periodicals.This study includes the following dimensions of comparative analysis: topics of the publications, institutional affiliation of the authors of the articles, the leaders of science communication.An analysis of the topics of the articles in science journals and periodicals indicates the following most popular topics of research: NGO movements, gender roles and images in mass media and literature; gender and career; family issues. The only overlapping topic in the science journals and periodicals is education and science.The research of the publications of the journals and periodicals identified higher education and research institutions in Lithuania that conduct gender studies and disseminate their results. The main institutions that were most numerously represented in the journals and periodic were Vilnius University, Šiauliai University and Mykolas Romeris University. The most active researchers that published the most articles on gender studies in the journals were V. Šidlauskienėand A. Žvinklienė, and most active researchers in periodicals – M. A. Pavilionienė, O. Voverienė, G. Purvaneckienė, D. Šatkovskienė, V. Jurėnienė. It is obvious that the names of the scientists are different.It is worth noting that the effective dissemination of knowledge generated in gender studies is relevant not only for other researchers and the professional community, but that it could also be very valuable in the processes of law and decision-making as well as being used in initiatives for social, economic and political change.

With modern means of communication, the profession of archaeology gains unprecedented possibilities. Thoughtful digital data management became a key ingredient in constructing and applying scientific knowledge. Through digital media, archaeologists are increasingly and inevitably engaged in a cooperative system of stakeholders, which affects many existing norms of disciplinary behaviour. One of the grand challenges for archaeology is not just the use of software or the Web, but to understand their effects on the very core of its method, and to create a cyberinfrastructure for its own. My essay examines one of the key component of this process, digital data publication.

Az almakeréki szárnyasoltár dendrokronológiai kormeghatározása
Authors: Tóth Boglárka
Published: March 2018

The archaeologist author has been involved in dendrochronological research in Transylvania for some fifteen years. In the summer of 2015 she and István Botár got the possibility within the frame of a five-year OTKA research project to examine the altarpiece in the Lutheran church of Almakerék (Mălâncrav, Malmkrog, Szeben county, Romania). It was the first time they had carried out dedrochronological growth ring dating on a work of art in functional use. The material of the altarpiece is presumably fir (Abies alba MILL.). The series of growth rings were measured on the reverse longitudinal surface of all the twelve painted panels and the top board of the predella. The examined panels derived from very old, at least 160-170-year-old fir trees. The researchers managed to determine the year of felling (winter of 1459/60), which is a useful clue for art history to date the making of the altarpiece. If the altarpiece was made in the lifetime of the head of the family that held the advowson Mihály Apafi (whose wife was mentioned a widow in 1469), then the wood was left to season for fewer than 9 years.
Játékszer – áruház – építészet a budapesti Árkád-bazár, a vágó fivérek műve 1909-ből
Authors: Csáki Tamás
Published: March 2018

The first and only large toy store in Budapest, the socalled Árkád-bazár was built in 1908-09 according to the designs of József and László Vágó. The company that commissioned the building, Késmárky & Illés, was one of Budapest’s leading toy trading companies. Founded in 1879, it sold not only toys but also a wide range of home ornaments and furnishings. Its shops were always located along Rákóczi Road and Kossuth Lajos Street, which was one of Budapest’s foremost arteries of commerce, connecting Keleti railway station with the inner city of Pest. In 1907 the company undertook its largest investment ever, the construction of a new building to house their toy trade branch. The building to be erected was not a department store but an example of the shop-cumapartment block combination so typical of the commercial avenues of Budapest from the 1890s onwards. Above its two business levels it had four residential ones. In April 1907 the owner and his wife bought two adjoining lots at the corner of Dohány Street and Síp Street, well visible from Rákóczi Road. It was the renowned modern architectural firm of László and József Vágó whom they commissioned with planning the new building.

The Árkád-bazár in Budapest was a typical multifunctional metropolitan building, with an interior arrangement determined – apart from the specificities of the building lot – primarily by the desire to maximize retail space, shop window length and the income from rents. Fire-safety considerations stressed by the municipal authorities also played a considerable role in forming the building. Like other buildings of the similar type, it was to appear in the cityscape first and foremost as a giant advertisement of the trading company housed on its lower floors.

Instead of working with the routine elements of early 20th century commercial architecture József and László Vágó met these requirements in an innovative way, with unique and personal solutions to the distribution of the retail space and the composition of the elevations. In 1909 the sharp lines, prismatic forms, geometrically stylized, contrasting volumes of the Árkád-bazár were unquestionably a novelty in the architecture of the Hungarian capital, a rupture with the soft, smooth, wavy forms of the art nouveau houses so popular in the previous years. However, the most important merit of the Árkád-bazár was probably that here the Vágó brothers found innovative solutions to the very specific artistic problems of the building type: uniting the swathes of the commercial and the residential levels into one coherent composition, integrating the advertising function into the building fronts. By utilizing a few characteristic elements of early 20th century ‘children’s art’ on and in their building, the Vágó brothers not only found a truly adequate form of advertising the toy store housed in it, but also managed to endow Árkád-bazár with a certain charm and humour unique in the local architecture of the period.
Bocskay György kalligráfus végrendelete
Authors: Gulyás Borbála
Published: March 2018

The testament of the Hungarian calligrapher George Bocskay (†1575) has been recently discovered in the Archive of the Benedictine Archabbey of Pannonhalma. Bocskay made his will on the 4th of April 1575, in the house of the Hungarian magnate János Pethő de Gerse (III) in Vienna. The original document published here was written in Latin. The new data provided by the testament are of primary importance regarding the life and social network of George Bocskay. According to the text he left his property to his wife and children as well as his four servants, among others he bequeathed his books and instruments of calligraphy to his son, Stephen. His burial place was unknown yet. However, in his testament Bocskay ordered to be buried in the Himmelpfortkloster in Vienna. It was a significant medieval Premonstratesian cloister, founded for nuns by Constance of Hungary, the daughter of the Hungarian King Béla III, in the 1230s.
Még egyszer a Todoreszku–Horváth könyvtárról
Authors: Varga Bernadett
Published: March 2018

Gyula Todoreszku (1866–1919) accumulated a now invaluable book collection, which his widow donated to the National Széchényi Library. An important role was played in the shaping of the collection by Viktor Akantisz whose job was to restore and bind the volumes. Later he became one of the first conservators at the national library. Beside him, Todoreszku’s widow Aranka Horváth took care of the collection after the donation, bequeathing a considerable sum to the museum in her last will.

An intriguing and highly controversial issue is the book conserving activity of Gyula Todoreszku, as he did not only clean the books “soiled by fire, water and war” but he also had expert restorers to produce facsimile leaves that were deceptively similar to the original ones to complement the defective volumes (in cases when another copy of the work was accessible for copying). He encouraged his bibliophile contemporaries to follow suite, for “an amateur’s things must also be beautiful. And not only the binding, but also the body of the book. The trouble is that among the Hungarian books and those printed in Hungary it is hard to find nice copies, and if we only want to collect fine pieces, we can have only very few.”

To replace the perished or plain bindings Todoreszku ordered new bindings from the most outstanding Hungarian and European book binders, because, quoth he, “a repaired, carefully embellished, stylishly bound rare printed book will more likely to survive in a fine binding when it gets into the hands of an amateur.”

The hand-painted parchment bindings of 43 tomes of Transylvanian parliamentary statutes were made by Viktor Akantisz. The collection also includes a painted parchment binding designed and executed by Álmos Jaschik, several gold-tooled leather bindings by József Galamb and a silver goldsmith’s binding designed by Ferenc Hebling and executed by Richard Zutt. (With the exception of Zutt all three men were leading instructors at the School of Design.) In addition, the names of Nándor Gottermayer and Géza Weichner can also be discerned on the new bindings.

To conclude, it can be contended that Todoreszku’s large number of commissions contributed to the revival of Hungarian book-binding art relegated to the background by industrialization, and the collection cannot be overlooked when both original bindings and the Hungarian book-binding history of the early 20th century are at issue.
Fundamentum — A paneles lakóépületek földszintje
Authors: Benkő Melinda , Balla Regina
Published: March 2018

A kutatás alapja az a feltételezés, hogy a paneles lakótelepek komplex megújítása városépítészeti léptéket követel, melyben az épületek földszintjei, a külső és belső térkapcsolatok újraértelmezése kiemelt fontosságú. A problémakör feltárása a hazai nagypaneles épületek földszintjeinek építészeti kialakítására épül. A cikk a rendelkezésre álló katalógusok alapján egyrészt a talajközeli térhatár (zárt, áttetsző vagy árkádos), másrészt a nyílások (bejárati ajtó, lakásablak, erkély, kapu, kirakat, közös tér ablaka, gépészeti nyílás, átjáró) tipológiáját állítja fel. Ezt a lakó és látogató számára fontos alsó szintet — a tömegterméket, a paneleket tartó, viszonylag sokféle, az adott helyhez is alkalmazkodó fundamentumot — nemcsak a panelházak építési korában, de az elmúlt évtizedek felújításai során is elhanyagolták. A műszaki vagy látványmegoldások alig érintik, így az épített környezetből a használatot terhelő problémák, mint például a rossz szubjektív biztonságérzet, a találkozások tereinek kerülése, az alulhasznosítottság stb. megmaradnak. Az írás a panelföldszintek építészeti megoldásainak összefoglalását adja, rávilágít az ezekből adódó használati problémákra, felhívja a figyelmet a témakör kiemelt kezelésének fontosságára.
Ybl Miklós és a Pollack család
Authors: Kelecsényi Kristóf Zoltán
Published: March 2018

Ybl Miklós (1814–1891) még a 19. század első felében született építészeknek ahhoz a generációjához tartozott, akiknek az egyre bomló, de még fennálló céhes rendszerben és céhes hagyományok közepette kellett megszerezniük a tervezés és építés jogát. Pályája alakulásában így nagy szerep jutott Pollack Mihálynak (1773–1855), akinél inaséveit töltötte az 1830-as évek első felében, majd a magyar földön is tevékenykedő, bécsi Heinrich Kochnak (1781–1861). A fiatal Ybl, amíg nem vált a céh teljes jogú tagjává, az édesapja nyomán szintén építész, és mesterjoggal rendelkező Pollack Ágostonnal (1810–1872) társulva próbálkozott meg saját praxisának kiépítésével. A néhány évig tartó társulás legjelentősebb épülete az ikervári Batthyány-kastély. Ekkor kezdődött Ybl munkakapcsolata a Károlyi családdal. A fóti megbízások, majd azok nyomán az uradalmi építészi státusz biztosította a fiatal építész megélhetését, valamint az arisztokráciával való kapcsolatépítés lehetőségét. A Pollack Ágostonnal való társas viszonya legkésőbb 1850 körül megszűnt. Pollack Mihály fiának tevékenységében a kis és közepes léptékű tervezési és építési feladatokról egyre inkább csak a kivitelezésre került át a hangsúly, majd Pollack Ágoston az 1860-as évek közepén teljesen felhagyott az építészettel. Ybl Miklós és a Pollack család kapcsolata azonban nem szakadt meg, a neoreneszánsz legnagyobb hazai mestere tervezte Pollack Mihály sírját, és árván maradt unokáját is örökbe fogadta.
A pesti serfőzéstől a sörgyártásig
Authors: Pilsitz Martin
Published: March 2018

A kiállítás a budapesti történeti ipari építészet egyik fontos szeletét mutatja be. A rendezők nem titkolt célja, hogy megváltoztassák és kiegészítsék az ipari építészettel kapcsolatban elterjedt általános sztereotípiákat. A kiállított gazdag forrásanyag a korai budapesti sörfőzdék példáján keresztül áttekinthetővé teszi azt a hatalmas fejlődést, amelyen az épülettípus az 1815. év és az első világháború közötti időszakban alaprajzi, szerkezeti és méretbeli szempontból, valamint a környező urbánus környezetre való hatása tekintetében átesett, továbbá felcsillantja az épületek e hatások következtében kialakult összetéveszthetetlenül sajátos esztétikáját is. Erős egyszerűsítés lenne ezt a jelenséget kizárólag a „funkcionális építészet” túlságosan is átfogó fogalmával magyarázni. A kiállítás ezzel a fogalmi redukcióval szakítva mutatja be a korai budapesti gyárépületek sokoldalúan gazdag építészetét. Ezek az épületek ugyanis éppen úgy alkalmasak az identitáshordozói szerepkörre, mint a templomok vagy a paloták, és ezt az állítást a Budapest Főváros Levéltárában őrzött gazdag történeti forrásanyag is jelentősen alátámasztja.
Political Shakespeare and the Blessing of Art
Authors: McPartland Perry
Published: March 2018

This text attempts to detail the functions and effects of some of Shakespeare's aesthetic strategies, and to determine their relationship to ideology. While this is critical territory that cultural materialists and new historicists have extensively mapped, the current text avoids the preferred methods of enquiry that these lines take. Rather than giving focus to the containment strategies of a dominant ideology, my investigation proceeds via a close reading of certain elements from Act 5 of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. I attempt to demonstrate that meaning in the play is determined and encompassed within the self-reflective and dissimulating structures of Shakespeare's art. I suggest that such an aesthetic premise offers a set of conditions that allows the play to operate in a manner which distinguishes it from its immediate cultural circumstances. This also means that when the ideological world beyond the stage is given re-presentation within the performance's illusory structures, it necessarily undergoes something like a disfiguration. I end by briefly remarking how even if the aesthetic structures of Shakespeare's plays realise themselves as distinct from, and as disfiguring of, ideology, they may still nonetheless be subject to it.
Refashioning Italian Theatrical and Dramatic Conventions: Prologues, Epilogues and Inductions in Early Modern English Drama
Authors: Cioni Fernando
Published: March 2018

Elizabethan drama used a variety of introductory scenes which can be defined as inductions, provided that we distinguish their dramatic and theatrical functions. In the theatre, the induction is a dramatic device, metatheatrical and metadramatic, which emphasizes the nature of the play. Richard Hosley argues that it is “a short dramatic action introducing a full-length play, normally performed by two or more actors and creating a fictional situation different from that of the play itself.” This article contains a survey of such inductions in the English theatre with parallels in the Italian tradition. The article also contains as an appendix a detailed overview of inductions and dumbshows in English plays.

Anti-Rhetorical Strategies in Early Modern Images of Comic Actors: Harlequin’s Iconography and its Surviving Medieval Features
Authors: Pietrini Sandra
Published: March 2018

The Compositions de Rhétorique by Tristano Martinelli were published in 1600 as a present to Maria de’ Medici for her marriage. The book is composed by blank pages interposed by images and the frontispice shows the famous actor as an almost hellish figure, bearing a pannier full of little Harlequins. A similar iconography pattern is to be seen in theRecueil Fossard, though  as part of a dramatic context, and could ultimately derive from the iconography of Hellequin, as it is shown in a miniature of the Roman the Fauvel, where the hellish figure leads a cart with dead  unchristened children. Discussing the hellish origin of Harlequin, most of scholars have neglected the evidence that some of his attributes are rooted in the sinful world of medieval entertainment. The pannier full of little kids or apes, for instance, recurs in medieval iconography of jesters, and since the XIVth century it begins to occur also in the depictions of devils, who assume some comical connotations. Exploring the context of medieval miniatures in relation to later iconography of actors, the article aims at rediscussing the vexed question of the hellish origin of Harlequin, providing some examples of a puzzling intertwining of elements and patterns.
Handling the Theme of Hands in early Modern Cross-over Contexts
Authors: Refskou Anne Sophie Haar , Thomasen Laura Søvsø
Published: March 2018

The human hand is a complex phenomenon within the contexts of early modern visual and textual culture. Its frequent presence in early modern texts and illustrations - as well as the many different types of described and depicted hands - raises a number of questions as to its functions and significances. In this article, we examine the role of the hand and two of its familiar functions –pointing and touching – against diverse and diverging understandings of human perception and cognition in the period focussing particularly on relations between bodies and minds. Through comparative analyses of cross-over examples from both medicine, manuals and drama – primarily John Bulwer’sChirologia and Chironomia, William Harvey’s de Motu Cordis and extracts from Shakespeare’s plays – we explore the questions implied by hands and their contributions to the knowledge probed and proposed by these texts and illustrations.

ANALYSIS OF VAPOUR COMPRESSION REFRIGERATION (VCR) BASED AIR CONDITIONING (AC) SYSTEM FOR HOT AND DRY CLIMATIC CONDITIONS IN OMAN
Authors: Subbiah Muthuraman
Published: March 2018

An evaporative-VCR combined AC system for providing good human
comfort conditions working under hot & dry climate is proposed in this
paper. The system is thermodynamically analysed for hot & dry climate of Muscat,
Oman from April-July 2015 under some reasonable assumptions. The system was
also compared on the basis of saving in cooling load (%) on the cooling coil
for the same sensible cooling rate to the conditioned space from the
conventional VCR-AC working on 100 % fresh air assumption. The saving of
cooling load on the coil was found maximum (64.19%) in the month of April due
to lower outside temperature and minimum (27.36%) for the month of June due to
higher outside temperature. The proposed system can be made more energy
efficient by utilising the exhaust air in cooling the condenser of VCR system
which will improve the COP & hence reduce the power consumption of the
compressor.
Sex differences in cardiovascular risk factors among people with type two diabetes
Authors: Mohan Gurinder , Kaur Ranjeet , . Heli
Published: March 2018

Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is associated with various risk factors, which accelerates the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The increased relative risk for CVD due to diabetes is greater in women than in men. Aims and objectives of this study were to study the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors among type 2 diabetes patients and to assess the sex differences in the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors among type 2 diabetes patients.Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed among the 500 adult (>15 years) patients of type 2 diabetes who attended Department of Medicine, SGRDIMSR, Amritsar and were assessed for the presence of various CVD risk factors and the prevalence of these was compared between both sexes.Results: The most prevalent CVD risk factor among 500 patients of type 2 DM was high HBA1C levels which was present in 67.2% of the study population. It was followed by obesity (which had prevalence of 66.2%), dyslipidaemia (i.e. high triglyceride levels - 64.8% and low HDL levels - 65.6%) and microalbuminuria along with macroalbuminuria (65.4%). Diabetic males had microalbuminuria (along with macroalbuminuria) as the most prevalent CVD risk factor (69.03%), followed by alcohol consumption (63.18%) and abnormal waist circumference (61%). On the other hand, the most prevalent CVD risk factor among female diabetics was high HBA1C (77.4%) followed by obesity (77.0%) and dyslipidaemia-hypertriglyceridemia (75.1%) and low HDL levels (70.5%).Conclusions: Cardiovascular risk factors were highly prevalent among patients with type 2 diabetes attending department of medicine, SGRDIMSR, Amritsar with different risk profiles among diabetic male and females. A gender-sensitive approach is required in planning interventions (counselling and treatment) to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in diabetes.

Published: March 2018

Background: Thyroid hormones play an important physiological role to maintain balance of metabolism of entire human body. Erythrocyte abnormalities are frequently associated with thyroid disorder. Subclinical hypothyroidism, often a hidden entity, is associated with iron-deficiency anemia along with other hematological disorders.  Thyroid hormones have a crucial role in metabolism and proliferation of blood cells. Thyroid dysfunction has profound effects on blood cells such as anemia, alters RBC indices including MCV, MCHC as well as iron stores. Present study was carried out to investigate and explore subclinical hypothyroid patients, to know the effect of subclinical hypothyroidism on hematological parameters and body iron store.Methods: This retrospective study included 200 newly diagnosed, untreated subclinical hypothyroid, and 200 healthy euthyroid individuals. The hematological parameters and thyroid profile of the subjects were assessed by the mean, standard deviation (SD). Student’s t-test was used to report our results, with p-value <0.05 considered as statistically significant.Results: In this study we have compared hemoglobin level, red cell indices, serum Ferritin among study group and euthyroid healthy group and found that mean hemoglobin, serum ferritin and RBC indices were significantly depleted in subclinical hypothyroid patient in comparison to euthyroid group. 37 of total 200 [18.22%] newly diagnosed subclinical hypothyroid patients was suffering from Iron deficiency anemia with significant number of patients having hemoglobin level less than 10 gm%.Conclusions: Iron deficiency anemia is quite common in Subclinical hypothyroidism and is often associated with depleted body iron store and complication of getting converted into primary hypothyroidism. As there is no significant clinical manifestation of SCH at earlier stages with anemia it is advisable to routinely investigate it for early detection allowing its early management.

Published: March 2018

Retroperitoneal Lymphangiomas are rare and account for only 1% of lymphangiomas. They usually present in infancy, rarely they may present symptomatically in adulthood. We present a case of a 19-year old female with a symptomatic retroperitoneal lymphangioma. It was treated with complete surgical excision. Retroperitoneal lymphangiomas are rare. Imaging alone cannot differentiate them from other retroperitoneal cystic masses. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice and required for final diagnosis.

Colonoscopy and biopsy was done showing features of active Crohn's disease. Patient was restarted on Mesalamine and anticoagulation. Follow up imaging showed features of resolution of thrombus.
The Ghosts of Performance Past: Theatre, Gender, Religion and Cultural Memory
Authors: Adelakun Abimbola A.
Published: March 2018

This article studies the phenomenon of ghosting in religious performance through an examination of a famous Yoruba actress, Iyabo Ogunsola (Iya Efunsetan). Ogunsola once played the role of a 19th century historical character, Efunsetan Aniwura, on stage at a remarkable period of Yoruba history thus embedding her life and career trajectory with that of the culture. Iya Efunsetan has currently transited to an Aladura church leader and a gospel performer. Building on works by theatre/performance scholars who have studied how previously staged performances haunt the re-enactment of performances in another place, time, and context, I examine the religious aspect of the phenomenon of ghosting as it relates to Ase, Yoruba concept of metaphysical force. While Iya Efunsetan cannot shake off the ghosts of her theatrical past, I note that she mobilizes the Ase of her embodied theatrical history fame to authenticate herself as a religious leader.
Developing Economies and Global Governance: Will IMF Rethink Its Orthodox View?

Published: March 2018

It has been constantly viewed that the developed economies unevenly ruled the governance structures in the international organizations such as International Monetary Fund (MF). The continuous development in Emerging and Developing Economies (EDEs) over the last 20 years witnessed their growing importance in the world economy, but at the same time little increase in their voice in the IMF. There are reasons for the discontent of the EDEs in the present structure such as the increase of regional monetary arrangements, uneven distribution of quota shares, IMF quota reforms, and IMF voting structure. The world economy is witnessing a tremendous growth of these EDEs and is now at the verge where Asian economies are capable of leading, rather than the North Atlantic economies. This issue should be acknowledged properly and must be responded adequately. This paper makes an attempt to understand the prime issues that should be fixed in the current quotas system and voting structure in the IMF.
