Neuroimaging in contact sports: Determining brain fitness before and after a bout
Authors: Sethi N
Published: February 2020

Background: Professional boxing and mixed martial arts (MMA) are popular contact sports with high risk for both acute and chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI). Although rare, combatants have died in the ring/cage or soon after the completion of the bout. The cause of death in these cases is usually acute subdural hematoma, acute epidural hematoma, subarachnoid haemorrhage, intracranial haemorrhage, or second-impact syndrome (SIS). Neuroimaging or brain imaging is currently included in the process of registering for a license to fight in a combat sport in most states in the United States and around the world. However, the required imaging specifics and frequency vary.Discussion: Neuroimaging serves two distinct roles in the individualised care of a combatant, representing a step towards personalised medicine and individual risk stratification. Neuroimaging prior to licensure helps to identify and/or exclude coincidental or clinically suspected brain lesions which may pose a risk for rupture, bleeding or other catastrophic and important brain injury. Neuroimaging in the immediate aftermath of a bout primarily serves to rule out acute traumatic brain injury. Neuroimaging may also be carried out to assess for evidence of structural brain injury which may make a combatant more likely to express late-life neuropsychiatric sequelae of brain injury, such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy. As such, neuroimaging plays a prognostic role and aids in the determination of whether the combatant should be allowed to continue to participate in future bouts or not.Conclusion: Currently there are no established neuroimaging guidelines for contact sports. Standardising neuroimaging guidelines both for licensure as well as neuroimaging modality, and protocols to assess for both acute and chronic traumatic brain injury. This will assist in protecting the combatant’s health and safety, both in the ring/cage, and after their professional careers have ended. Some suggested guidelines are provided based on currently available medical literature. It is recommended that these guidelines be debated vigorously by the scientific community and that evidence-based guidelines be developed by the medical community in conjunction with professional boxing and MMA governing bodies.
A 12-week primary prevention programme and its effect on health outcomes (the Sweet Hearts biokinetics pilot study)
Authors: Evans R , Hume D , Noorbhai M , Rauch HG , Van der Schyff N , Lambert E
Published: February 2020

Background: The prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and physical inactivity are concerning within the South African population. To address these concerns, the ‘Strategic Plan for Prevention and Control of NCDs 2013-2017’ was developed. In response to this plan, a 12-week pilot biokinetics community health programme, Sweet Hearts, was initiated. Methods: This study is a prospective pilot study evaluating the feasibility and effectiveness of the intervention. Twenty- five individuals participated in the intervention. Ten participants performed a battery of physiological tests pre and post intervention and 5 participants completed an email-based survey post intervention. The setting of the study was Tramway Football Club, Southfield, Cape Town, South Africa. The Sweet Hearts intervention was designed to promote physical activity and healthy nutritional habits in those who participated. A total of 27 exercise sessions consisting of cardiovascular, resistance and flexibility training were conducted. Brief-behavioural counselling was integrated into exercise sessions. Results: The intervention group had a high attrition rate with >50% of participants not presenting for post-intervention testing. Results were evident despite a limited sample size. There were significant improvements in health outcome measures among participants who did attend all testing sessions. These improvements included: an increase in Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) score (p = 0.03), 12- minute walk distance (p = 0.01), sit-to-stand test repetitions (p = 0.001), and a decrease in waist circumference (p = 0.01). Improvements were also noted in self-reported eating restraint (p = 0.03). Five main themes were structured into post intervention surveys: 1) enjoyment of the intervention, 2) benefits of the intervention, 3) obstacles affecting adherence, 4) future improvements to the intervention, and 5) state of non-communicable diseases in South Africa. Conclusion: The results of the Sweet Hearts intervention demonstrate the difficulty and importance of maintaining adherence to a community health intervention. The favourable results of the small sample size demonstrate the potential benefit of biokinetics-based programmes in the public health sector; and provide proof of concept for the dedication of resources towards health promotion within a community setting.
Attitudes towards nutritional supplement use amongst adult gymnasium users in Johannesburg North
Authors: Mc Creanor X , Coopoo Y , Gabriels G
Published: February 2020

Background: Nutritional supplements refer to a product ingested to increase the nutritional content of a normal diet, to fill a dietary need and/or presumed deficiency. The usage and popularity of nutritional supplements, however, raises concerns from a health benefit and risk perspective. In South Africa, there is currently no adequate regulatory framework of enforcement for nutritional supplement products and undeclared constituents by the statutory body, the Medicines Control Council (MCC). Education awareness programmes by organisations that should take consumer protection and the general public health and wellness as a right, needs to be improved. Objectives: To investigate the attitudes toward nutritional supplements by adult gym users from commercial gymnasiums in the Johannesburg North region of South Africa. Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative design, using a selfadministered questionnaire was applied to 364 recruited study participants who attended commercial gymnasiums in Johannesburg North. Results: One hundred and fifty users (41%) claimed that they ‘always’ read the information about the nutritional values, benefits, and side effects of the supplements on the labels prior to use. Three hundred and three users (83%) indicated that the number of users of nutritional supplements in gymnasiums is on the increase. Two hundred and seventy-three (75%) of main information sources for nutritional supplements may be found on the internet, while 292 (80%) indicated the need for gymnasiums to provide educational programmes pertaining to nutritional supplement consumption. Conclusion: Gymnasium users are aware of the increase in nutritional supplement use in commercial gymnasiums. Many of the users were unaware of the potential mislabelling and health concerns regarding these supplements. Therefore there is a need for improved nutritional supplement education programmes and diligence at multiple levels.

Authors: Sinclair Colleen , Coetzee Frederik F , Schall Robert
Published: February 2020

Background: Physical and physiological profile data for elite netball players in South Africa and internationally are limited but are necessary for conditioning programme information.

Objective: To determine the physical and physiological profiles of U18, U19, U21 and senior level elite netball players at provincial level in the Free State, South Africa. The information provided is by age group and playing position. The fitness of the players for South African and New Zealand netball is also given using the fitness normative data (norms).

Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive study consisted of 77 elite South African netball players. Anthropometric measurements were taken according to international standards. Fitness tests included the Star Execution Balance Test, standing broad jump, double- and single-leg vertical jump, Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Level 1(IR1) test, sprints over 5, 10 and 40 m, horizontal pull-ups and press-ups, the prone bridge test and anaerobic Octorepeater tests with 10 m and 20 m repeated shuttle sprints. In keeping with the descriptive nature of the study, descriptive statistics were calculated for numerical data by age group and playing position.

Results: Players generally did not meet the accepted fitness standards in the following areas: press-ups (all age groups), horizontal pull-ups (senior and U21), standing broad jump (senior and U21), vertical squat jump (senior and U21), 5 m and 10 m sprints (senior and U21); anaerobic Octorepeater (senior players), and the aerobic Yo-Yo IR1 test (all age groups).

Conclusion: Strength and conditioning coaches should develop training programmes to address fitness areas where players do not meet the international standards.
A refined approach to lateral-torsional buckling of overhang beams
Authors: Venter S , Skorpen S , van Rensburg B
Published: February 2020

The current South African Steel design code, SANS 10162-1, has a set of effective length factors for overhang beams which is independent of the geometrical properties of the beam and the lengths of the backspan and cantilever. This simple approach is consistent with several other international steel design codes and design guidelines. These effective length factors make no allowance for the stiffness of the adjacent span, but in reality warping at the supports allows interaction buckling between the cantilever and beam segments. In the research presented in this paper the backspan-to-overhang-segment ratio was investigated with the view of refining the calculations for determining the critical buckling moment of overhang beams. The scope was limited to beams with lateral and torsional restraints at the supports, and to shear centre and top flange loading applied at the free overhang end. Physical experiments and finite solid element analyses were used to determine the relationship between the critical moments and the beam buckling parameters. A simplified design calculation procedure was formulated, which includes a buckling parameter to include warping at the supports and allows interaction buckling between the beam segments. The buckling parameter is dependent on the size of the beam, the length of the overhanging segment and the ratio of backspan-to-overhang length.
Small-scale dispersed Green Infrastructure – a fitting civil engineering solution to stormwater quality improvement?
Authors: Brink I
Published: February 2020

Stormwater quality has been researched for decades, but design innovation has stagnated. The design engineer is commonly faced with a large array of design options, each with complex mechanisms requiring specialised knowledge, often in fields that do not form part of civil engineering training. Adequately combining and establishing the necessary knowledge from these fields requires a practically valid design focus. An investigation into whether small-scale dispersed Green Infrastructure (GI) can serve as such a focus for stormwater runoff quality improvement was performed. It was found that small-scale GI application provides a dispersed and passive treatment response to the spatially diffuse nature of stormwater runoff. This technology has comparable efficiencies to other traditional stormwater structures, with the added advantage of being incorporable into existing infrastructure. It is, however, not without its share of disadvantages and knowledge gaps. Future research into many aspects ranging from data collection to implementation is warranted.

Published: February 2020

The paper presents an experimental study on assessment of the effect of accelerated carbonation curing (ACC) on the performance of two concrete mixtures having the same mixture proportions but different cementitious materials (plain-cement and fly-ash-blended-cement). Different sets of specimens were cast utilising both concrete mixtures and were then subjected to ACC for ten hours at a constant pressure of 414 kPa (60 psi). After exposing the specimens to ACC, they were tested for weight gain, carbonation depth, compressive and tensile strengths, modulus of elasticity, water penetration depth, rapid chloride permeability, shrinkage, SEM and XRD. ACC of the concrete specimens for ten hours resulted in a significant weight gain with less than 2 mm of carbonation depth. Both mixtures gained compressive strength above 20 MPa after ten hours of ACC. The strength increased further when ACC-treated specimens were exposed to air, with a significant increase up to seven days for plain-cement concrete and up to 28 days for fly-ash-blended-cement concrete. Compared to reference moist-cured concretes, the ACC-treated concretes were found to exhibit a slightly lower long-term strength (15% for plain-cement and 5% for fly-ash-concrete). However, the overall performance of the ACC-treated concrete mixtures was comparable with the respective moist-cured concrete mixtures.

Published: February 2020

Este artículo especifica las competencias profesionales (genéricas y específicas) requeridas por el mercado laboral colombiano para los administradores de empresas. Para ello se realizó una investigación cuantitativa, longitudinal, descriptiva y empírica, que hace uso de técnicas como el análisis documental y la encuesta. La investigación parte de la revisión narrativa de documentos académicos e institucionales sobre los temas asociados y se concreta en la aplicación de un cuestionario basado en Alfa Tuning América Latina a dos grupos de interés relacionados con los programas de administración, en momentos distintos, sobre las competencias más valoradas en los administradores. Se halló que el modelo Tuning Latinoamérica sigue siendo útil para evaluar las competencias en administración y que la mayoría de las planteadas en este son consideradas como significativas por parte de los consultados. Esto genera retos importantes para la formación en administración en Colombia, de manera que se forme en las competencias para una formación integral, no solo laboral.
Strategic Effect of Collaboration Between ETICS
Authors: Velasco-Gutiérrez Gerardo , Montoya Miguel A. , Capelleras Joan-Lluis
Published: February 2020

This paper analyzes the relationship between networking capabilities and the motives behind SMEs taking part in collaborative relationships with firms within the same sector. Specifically, we analyzed inter-firm collaborations for new product development and the decision(s) to outsource. The main contribution of this paper is focused on identifying the existence of the mediating effect that Hybrid growth strategy has, connected to these relations. It is argued that the Hybrid growth strategy mediates the relationship between networking capabilities and the different collaborative modes with firms within the same sector. The results, obtained through a binomial logit model, supported these arguments by using a database formed by 450 face-to-face surveys, from which 296 took part in an inter-firm collaboration between 2012-2014. The surveys were given to CEOs from SMEs that participated in collaborative activities with other firms in the Electronic, Technology, Information, and Communications sector (ETICS) in Mexico.

Authors: Kodri Kodri , Budiwati Neti , Adirestuty Fitranty
Published: February 2020

This research was inspired by the rapid development of information and communication technology. It obligates teachers to apply technology and information in learning for enriching their professionalism. This research aims to determine the significance of the effect on teacher experience, training, and self-efficacy on TPACK, as well as determining the significance of teacher experience and training on self-efficacy. The used method in this research was descriptive method with data collection techniques through distributing questionnaires to economics teachers. Path analysis technique is used to analyze the data. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that teacher experience, training, and self-efficacy had a significant positive effect on TPACK. Teacher experience and training have a significant positive effect on self-efficacy. Yet, self-efficacy is not able to mediate the effect of teacher experience on TPACK, and the effect of training on TPACK.
Ways of being and expressivity
Authors: Reis Róbson Ramos dos
Published: February 2020

In this paper, I present a hermeneutic version of ontological pluralism, addressing the question of the discursive articulation of ways of being. The first section presents the notion of a pluralism of ways of being as a restriction of an ontological monism. The second section puts forward a criticism of Kris McDaniel’s proposal of understanding ways of being as kinds of quantifiers. The third section analyses the notion of way of being as a modal concept, explaining ways of being as internal possibilities endowed with a normative force regarding the identity-conditions of entities. The fourth one is a statement about the need of developing a pluralist account of the propositional reference to entities based on ontological pluralism. The fifth section deals with the issue of the discursive articulation of ways of being. The two last sections present a hypothesis concerning a semantic condition for an adequate articulation of ways of being. I argue for a kind of finitude-sensitivity in the semantics of the discursive articulation of internal possibilities, which implies the requirement of developing a hermeneutic notion of silence that may properly work in the discursive articulation of ways of being.
¿Qué significa filosofar? Interpretaciones sobre el objeto y la condición de la ontología de Martin Heidegger
Authors: Martínez Zarazúa Diego
Published: February 2020

La influencia de Martin Heidegger en el medio filosófico contemporáneo es indiscutible. Sin embargo, no siempre resulta claro qué significa el que Heidegger comprenda la filosofía como una ontología, esto es, como una interrogación por el ser. Con miras a esclarecer esto, y por lo general empleando un vocabulario distinto al de Heidegger, el presente artículo ofrece la interpretación de su filosofía como una forma no positiva de investigación ontológica. Esto es, como un desarrollo de la pregunta por el ser que rechaza toda tentativa de respuesta. Para ello se analizan dos aspectos estructurales del pensamiento de Heidegger: su objeto (el ser del ente) y su condición (que haya cosa y que ésta de alguna manera se estropee).
Tensiones de la contabilidad de gestión en el marco del capitalismo cognitivo

Published: February 2020

La entrada en vigencia de una nueva etapa del capitalismo, que el postoperaismo italiano ha denominado capitalismo cognitivo, en el que tendencialmente el conocimiento se posiciona como hegemónico en la creación de valor empresarial, ha reconfigurado las relaciones productivas, las cuales se extienden más allá de la tradicional fábrica, colocando en tensión las prácticas de la contabilidad de gestión, toda vez que aún arrastran la materialidad y se circunscriben en los entes económicos desconociendo el ascenso de la inmaterialidad, como factor productivo y como característica de las nuevas mercancías, y la reconfiguración del valor a partir del signo fundamentado en la comunicación semiótica del marketing. El presente artículo pretende develar que existen nuevas formas y retos de entender la contabilidad de gestión y su necesidad de transdisciplinarse en su proceso gestionador de valor.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SOCIAL- PSYCHOLOGICAL ADAPTATION OF MIGRANT CHILDREN AND LOCAL CHILDREN
Authors: Khachaturyan Yu. R.
Published: February 2020

The article presents the empirical study comparing socio-psychological adaptation of migrant children and local children at general education school. The performed theoretical analysis has substantiated the existing problem of migrant children adaptation to school. The performed theoretical analysis also has determined that the difficulties in the socio-psychological adaptation of migrant children are often stipulated by their inability to interact with the local population (peers and their parents, teachers), communicative drawbacks, which in turn stimulate anxiety, hostility, distrust at new living conditions and the environment, and so on. The performed empirical study has shown that indicators describing socio-psychological adaptation of migrant children and local children are different. In particular, migrant children have higher aggression and hostility; they have more pronounced forms of aggression such as: physical, verbal and indirect aggression, manifested in the use of physical force, threats, bad language, gossip, rumours, etc. They also show more often negativism, irritation, suspicion, and insults in comparison to local children. The local children have lower personal and reactive anxiety and self-esteem; they have a high social status (stars) in school more often than migrant children and very rarely have low (ignored) status, while almost half of migrant children have ignored or isolated statuses in the group. All children (local and migrants) response mainly impulsively in frustration situations, however, migrant children are still often show an extrapunitive orientation and, they manifests an intropunitive orientation to a lesser extent.
PSYCHOLOGICAL FEATURES OF PRESENTATION AND PERCEPTION OF MOTHERS IMAGES IN ADVERTISING
Authors: Klymenko I. V. , Lokhmachova A. I.
Published: February 2020

The article is devoted to the generalization of information about the image of the “ideal” or “good” mother and its implementation in advertising practice. The authors analyzed the evolution of this image in the media space from the concept of traditionalism (woman who is realized exclusively in the family and motherhood) to the concept of neo-traditionalism (mother, who has time for everything, including the professional sphere and the sphere of self-fulfillment). There is an increase in value of egalitarian models (partnership distribution of roles and functions between husband and wife) and the presentation of realistic ideas about a “non-ideal” mother in foreign practice. However, this trend is much less common in the Ukrainian advertising space. The authors found the most common images of mothers in Ukrainian advertising: “Selfless”, “Caring”, “Balanced”, “Hedonic”, “Rebellious” and “Supervisory” and analyzed the peculiarities of their use, the intensity of presentation, the relationship with the advertised product. The authors found that conservative images of mothers (family oriented, selfless, caring, able to keep everything under control) are generally positively perceived by the target audience. Images that are distant from such traditionalist cliché (innovative, self-centered, hedonic) are rated worse. The authors demonstrated the relationship between mothers’ individual characteristics and their tendency to favor a particular character in advertising. Women, who are more experienced, self-sufficient, tend to rely on their own experience prefer less conservative advertising images (“Balanced”, and “Hedonic”). Less experienced women, who are guided by externalities experience, are focused exclusively on child, perceive positively traditionalist images “Selfless” and “Supervisory” mother.
EDUCATIONAL READING AS A SOURCE FORMING PSYCHOLOGISTS’ COMPETENCES FOR UNDERSTANDING AND ACCEPTANCE OF «THE OTHER»
Authors: Kolyshko M.
Published: February 2020

The experimental study of students-psychologists’ educational reading is presented; its aim was to reveal the students’ ability to be open to understanding and to accept psychological ideas different from their own.
The changes in the students’ personality-related perceptions in the process of their interaction with the educational text are described. The master students in psychological specialties are characterized by mainly ordinary ideas on psychological reality. They show two strategies of work with a scientific text: 1) focus on selection as many previously unknown words in the text as possible and memorizing them; 2) focus on selection of several key, systemic concepts and understanding of the text through their prism.
The master’s students are characterized by prevailing orientation on understanding the information presented in the educational text. Students of the second stage of higher education show significant difficulties in reconstructing the psychological reality from the standpoint of a given psychological theory. They tend to attribute their own ideas to the text author, to ignore the author’s unique thinking and to use formally or fragmentarily the author’s conceptual apparatus.
Instead of reconstructing an event, they offer characteristics or diagnoses.
The students’ understanding of a position of the text author (“the Other”) leads most often only to insignificant changes in the student’s understanding of psychological reality. Such changes are revealed not so much in the qualitative transformation of the students’ picture of the world but in the enrichment of their ideas with new aspects of this picture. It is noted that at training of students in psychological specialties, special pedagogic activities are needed to form their philological competences in working with text.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE GIFTED STUDENTS’ PERSONAL VALUES QUESTIONNAIRE
Authors: Korolov D. K.
Published: February 2020

The purpose of the presented research is the development of a questionnaire for gifted individuals’ values assessment. This instrument is needed because the general personal values questionnaire has a very broad focus and cannot assess specific personal preferences of gifted individuals. Probably, those preferences are internally connected with the nature of giftedness.
The instrument is based on previously conducted in-depth structured interviews with students and successful professionals on their personal lifestyle and values. The highlighted personal values types, their features create a basis for the questionnaire item development.
The first questionnaire version was tested on a sample of 137 students. The instrument’s construct validity is confirmed by results of factor analysis, which provided a meaningful and bright structure of seven orthogonal factors. They describe the following specific value patterns: intensive emotional experience; productive creative activity; social recognition; comfortable living conditions; career achievements; value uncertainty; subjective comfort. These results created the basis for relevant scales development. Those scales show enough internal consistency, the alpha coefficient is in the range from 0.69 to 0.80. Also scales item discriminativeness is upper 0.20 that corresponds to the psychometric requirements.
The future researches will focus on item difficulty analysis, detailed studies of retest reliability and validity, test norm development.
Comparación de distintos métodos de instalación de mini data loggers en suelo de alta montaña; una contribución al estudio del ambiente periglaciar / Comparison of different methods of installing mini data loggers in high mountain ground; a contribution to the study of the periglacial environment
Authors: Soto Molina Victor Hugo , Delgado Granados Hugo
Published: February 2020

El empleo de mini data loggers para el estudio del régimen térmico del suelo en ambientes periglaciares representa una variante práctica y económica. Sin embargo, la colocación de estos sensores en contacto directo con el interior del suelo provoca un alto índice de pérdida de los mismos como resultado de diversos procesos geomorfológicos y por la acción cementante del suelo congelado; por ello, resulta común el empleo de alternativas de instalación para protegerlos del entorno. En este trabajo cuestionamos la igualdad cuantitativa de los registros de temperatura entre los métodos alternos de instalación más comunes, comparados contra el método del contacto directo con el suelo. El objetivo ha sido identificarel método que arroja datos más cercanos a los valores reales. L’utilisation de mini-enregistreurs de données pour l’étude du régime thermique du sol en milieu périglaciaire représente une variante pratique et économique. Cependant, la mise en contact direct de ces capteurs avec l’intérieur du sol entraîne un taux élevé de perte en conséquence de divers processus géomorphologiques et de l’action de cimentation du sol gelé; Par conséquent, il est courant d’utiliser des alternatives d’installation pour les protéger de l’environnement. Dans ce travail, nous questionnons l’égalité quantitative des enregistrements de température parmi les méthodes d’installation alternatives les plus courantes, par rapport à la méthode du contact direct avec le sol. L’objectif était d’identifier la méthode qui fournit les données les plus proches des valeurs réelles. The use of mini data loggers to study the thermal regime of the soil in periglacial environments represents a practical and economical variant. However, the placement of these sensors in direct contact with the interior of the soil causes a high rate of loss as a result of various geomorphological processes and the cementing action of the frozen soil; Therefore, it is common to use installation alternatives to protect them from the environment. In this paper we question the quantitative equality of temperature records among the most common alternate installation methods, compared against the method of direct contact with the ground. The objective has been to identify the method that offers data closest to the real values.

La tradicional dicotomía entre la ciudad y su espacio rural inmediato ha quedado difuminada, especialmente en aquellos países donde el grado de urbanización es más alto. Desde la segunda mitad del siglo xix han aparecido nuevas formas de asentamientos que no encajan ni con las urbes ni con los núcleos rurales. Este fenómeno se caracteriza por una indefinición semántica que dificulta su comprensión. Se presenta una puesta al día a modo de estado de la cuestión con el objetivo de esclarecer la complejidad de estos espacios. De modo complementario se profundiza en sus causas, procesos y fisonomías tanto en el ámbito internacional como en el nacional. Finalmente se esbozan definiciones al tiempo que se sintetizan los marcos teóricos predominantes en la literatura académica.La dichotomie traditionnelle entre la ville et son espace rural immédiat s’est estompée, en particulier dans les pays où le degré d’urbanisation est plus élevé.

Ce phénomène est caractérisé par une incertitude sémantique qui rend la compréhension difficile. Une mise à jour est présentée en tant qu’état de la question afin de clarifier la complexité de ces espaces. De manière complémentaire, leurs causes, processus etphysionomies sont approfondis tant au niveau international que national. Enfin, les définitions sont résumées tout en synthétisant les cadres théoriques prédominants dans la littérature universitaire.The traditional dichotomy between the city and its immediate rural space has been blurred, especially in those countries where the degree of urbanization is higher.

La cartografía es la menos conocida entre sus actividades y la más importante. Su experienciaprofesional como topógrafo e ingeniero contribuyó a que diferentes Ayuntamientos requirieran sus servicios, durante las décadas 1940-1960, para levantar planos urbanos precisos y realizar proyectos de ensanche acordes con la legislación urbana de la época. El objetivo es dar a conocer un capítulo del legado cartográfico español que, en su mayor parte, ha permanecido oculto en los archivos, o ha sido desconocido por las propias instituciones.Antonio Revenga Carbonell était un ingénieur géographe qui se distinguait par son activité cartographique et géographique. Après être entré dans le corps, en 1912, il acquit différentes compétences à l’Institut géographique national et diversifia ses connaissances techniques. La cartographie est la moins connue de ses activités et la plus importante. Son expérience professionnelle d’arpenteur-géomètre et d’ingénieur a permis à différentes municipalités, dans les années 1940 et 1960, de solliciter ses services pour élaborer des plans précis et mener à bien des projets d’élargissement conformes à la législation urbaine de l’époque.

A partir de mediados del siglo xix se agotó en España el modelo urba- no del Antiguo Régimen y emergió la denominada ciudad burguesa. Los cambios se concretaron en la transformación de la trama heredada y en la ampliación de su plano. El papel de la iniciativa privada se concretó habitualmente en la producción de suelo urbano mediante la parcelación de tierras de su propiedad. El artículo analiza la formación de la ciudad burguesa en la villa de Llanes atendiendo al papel de la iniciativa particular en la expansión de su plano entre 1850 y 1960. Se describen las características de las parcelaciones identificadas, estableciendo su rasgos generales y contextualizándolas en los procesos de carácter general.À partir du milieu du xixe siècle, le modèle urbain de l’Ancien Régime était épuisé en Espagne et la soi-disant ville bourgeoise a émergé. Les changements ont pris forme dans la transformation du plan hérité et son extension. Le rôle de l’initiative privée s’est généralement concrétisé dans la production de sol urbain grâce à la division des terrains qu’elle possédait. L’article analyse la formation de la ville bourgeoise à Llanes (Asturies orientales) en se concentrant sur le rôle de l’initiative privée dans l’expansion du plan entre 1850 et 1960. Les caractéristiques des parcellisations identifiées sont décrites, en établissant leurs traits principaux et en les contextualisant dans les processus généraux.From the mid-nineteenth century the urban model of the Old Regime was exhausted in Spain and the so-called bourgeois city emerged. The changes took shape in the transformation of the inherited plot and in the extension of its plan. The role of private initiative was usually the production of urban land through the division of its properties. The article analyzes the formation of the bourgeois city in Llanes (Eastern Asturias), taking into account the role of the private initiative in the expansion of the plan between 1850 and 1960. The characteristics of parceling are described, establishing their general features and contextualizing them in general processes.

Género Como Estrategia Organizativa de Politización: Una Aproximación a una Agenda de Estudios Críticos Feministas del Derecho
Authors: Bertel Moreno María Alejandra
Published: February 2020

La libertad es un camino que el ser humano, desde su esencia busca con cada acción que realiza, no obstante, desde el punto del género, ha sido una vía cuya finalidad se ha convertido en una virtud. La transformación de la lucha feminista muta más allá del colectivismo y la unión de la mujer, para ser pensada desde el género, cuestión desarrollada mundialmente por quienes reconocían inferencias evidentes del papel de la mujer dentro de la sociedad, a través de un discurso político maduro, pero controvertido por cuyos pensamientos guardaron dentro de sí un lenguaje antiguo y estático.
MARCAS EM FÓSSEIS DE MEGAFAUNA DO SÍTIO CONCEIÇÃO DAS CREOULAS, PLEISTOCENO SUPERIOR-HOLOCENO, SALGUEIRO, PERNAMBUCO
Authors: Peters Eduarda Tavares , Oliveira Edison Vicente
Published: February 2020

Este trabalho descreve marcas encontradas em fósseis de mamíferos pleistocênicos do Sítio Lagoa da Pedra, localizado no distrito de Conceição das Creoulas, identificando possíveis relações temporais e/ou físicas existentes entre os grupos pré-históricos e a megafauna que coabitou a região de Salgueiro no Pleistoceno Final - Holoceno Inicial. A metodologia aplicada identificou fósseis que apresentam marcas possivelmente causadas por instrumentos líticos. O trabalho apresenta indícios de interação homem-megafauna através da caça desses animais, reforçando as evidências sobre a coabitação durante o final do Pleistoceno.
ESTUDO DA INFLUÊNCIA DA MARÉ SOB A REMOBILIZAÇÃO DO MATERIAL EM SUSPENSÃO NO PERÍODO DE ENCHENTE NO CANAL DO PORTO DA BARRA GRANDE, ICAPUÍ- CE

Os canais de maré são classificados como áreas que possuem a maré como principal agente de transporte. Diante ao fluxo bidirecional, presente ao longo do canal, são formados bancos arenosos não vegetados circundados, normalmente, por planícies lamosas vegetadas, onde, ocasionalmente o tráfego hidroviário pode ser interrompido, devido ao acúmulo de sedimentos ao redor dos bancos. O Porto da Barra Grande, localizado no município de Icapuí, extremo leste cearense, é utilizado pela comunidade local como estaleiro e ancoradouro para os barcos pesqueiros da região, margeado por mangues e salinas a área apresenta atividade intensas. A economia local está fortemente ligada a atividade pesqueira, que vem sendo prejudicada pelo progressivo assoreamento do canal, dificultando a navegação dos barcos. Dessa maneira, essa pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar e avaliar a influência da maré de enchente na taxa de sedimentação e erosão dentro do canal, a fim de auxiliar nas políticas de gestão, levantando aspectos como velocidade e direção da corrente, material em suspensão e morfologia de seções do canal. Para isso, realizou-se medições no canal em um turno de seis horas consecutivas durante o período de enchente, com coletas de amostras de material em suspensão, leituras regulares do nível de profundidade do canal e aquisição de dados correntométricos. Diante às aquisições e observações em campo, calculou-se a vazão líquida e sólida do canal correspondente ao período, demonstrando a intensa dinâmica de transporte dos sedimentos em suspensão no canal. Através dos resultados comprovou-se a alta dinâmica sedimentar do material em suspensão e caracterizou-se o comportamento hidrodinâmico local sob influência da maré. Dessa forma, os resultados auxiliam em pesquisas para o gerenciamento de obras costeiras futuras, com a finalidade de sanar o contínuo assoreamento do canal que impacta diretamente às atividades econômicas e sociais da região.
Las competencias digitales en estudiantes de doctorado. Un estudio en dos universidades mexicanas

Las competencias digitales representan el conocimiento, la habilidad y la conciencia indispensables para el desenvolvimiento efectivo de los sujetos en la sociedad del conocimiento. El objetivo de la presente investigación es caracterizar el nivel de competencia digital en los estudiantes de doctorado y las variables sociodemográficas que pueden influir en este. Es una investigación de enfoque cuantitativo, descriptivo-correlacional, transversal y no experimental. Se estudió una muestra de estudiantes del doctorado en Administración y Educación de dos universidades mexicanas. Se utilizó el “Cuestionario de Competencias Digitales”, versión en español, que fue sometido a pruebas estadísticas para medir su consistencia y validez interna. Se encontró que los estudiantes de doctorado no tienen un mayor nivel de competencias digitales solo por el hecho de pertenecer a este nivel educativo y que el género de estos tampoco es un factor determinante. Además, se encontró evidencia parcial en varias dimensiones (relacionesestadísticamente significativas), que sugieren que pertenecer a un programa que se imparte a distancia incentiva las competencias digitales en comparación a cuando un programa se estudia de manera semipresencial (b-learning).
