Objectives

In-house developed liquid-chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) methods are used more and more frequently for the simultaneous quantification of vitamin D metabolites. Among these, 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (24,25(OH)2D3) is of clinical interest. This study assessed the agreement of this metabolite in two validated in-house LC-MS/MS methods.

Methods

24,25(OH)2D3 was measured in 20 samples from the vitamin D external quality assurance (DEQAS) program and in a mixed cohort of hospital patients samples (n=195) with the LC-MS/MS method at the Medical University of Graz (LC-MS/MS 1) and at the University of Liège (LC-MS/MS 2).

Results

In DEQAS samples, 24,25(OH)2D3 results with LC-MS/MS 1 had a proportional bias of 1.0% and a negative systemic difference of −0.05%. LC-MS/MS 2 also showed a proportional bias of 1.0% and the negative systemic bias was −0.22%. Comparing the EQA samples with both methods, no systemic bias was found (0.0%) and the slope was 1%. The mean difference of 195 serum sample measurements between the two LC-MS/MS methods was minimal (−0.2%). Both LC-MS/MS methods showed a constant bias of 0.31 nmol/L and a positive proportional bias of 0.90%, respectively.

Conclusions

This study is the first to assess the comparability of 24,25(OH)2D3 concentrations in a mixed cohort of hospitalized patients with two fully validated in-house LC-MS/MS methods. Despite different sample preparation, chromatographic separation and ionization, both methods showed high precision measurements of 24,25(OH)2D3. Furthermore, we demonstrate the improvement of accuracy and precision measurements of 24,25(OH)2D3 in serum samples and in the DEQAS program.
A Finite Element Method for Two-Phase Flow with Material Viscous Interface
Authors: Olshanskii Maxim , Quaini Annalisa , Sun Qi
Published: November 2021

This paper studies a model of two-phase flow with an immersed material viscous interface and a finite element method for the numerical solution of the resulting system of PDEs. The interaction between the bulk and surface media is characterized by no-penetration and slip with friction interface conditions. The system is shown to be dissipative, and a model stationary problem is proved to be well-posed. The finite element method applied in this paper belongs to a family of unfitted discretizations. The performance of the method when model and discretization parameters vary is assessed. Moreover, an iterative procedure based on the splitting of the system into bulk and surface problems is introduced and studied numerically.
Microstructure and life prediction model of steel slag concrete under freezing-thawing environment

Published: November 2021

The goals of this paper are to study the frost resistance of steel slag concrete (SSC), research the damage mechanisms, and predict the service life of SSC in cold regions. First, the stability of steel slag (SS) was tested, and then SS samples with different treatment dosages were used as aggregates to replace natural aggregates of equal volumes in the preparation of C40 concrete. The microstructures of concrete and micro properties of cement hydration products were investigated in nanospace in this research. In addition, rapid frost resistance durability tests were carried out under laboratory conditions. The results revealed that the ordinary concrete (OC) exhibited a more serious damage phenomenon, and the mass loss and relative dynamic elastic modulus of OC were changed by 5.27 and 62.30%, respectively. However, with increases in the SS content, the losses in mass were lowered. Furthermore, the relative dynamic elastic modulus decreased less, and the frost resistance of the specimens was stronger. The range of mass loss rate was between 2.233 and 3.024%, and the relative dynamic elastic modulus range was between 74.92 and 91.09%. A quadratic function with a good fitting degree was selected to establish a freezing-thawing damage calculation model by taking the relative dynamic elastic modulus as the variable. Then, the freezing-thawing durability lifespan of concrete in the colder regions of northern China was successfully predicted by using the damage calculation model. The results of SSC20–60 showed the better frost resistance durability when the content of SS sand was 20% and the dosage of SS stone was 60%. Its frost resistance lifespan was more than twice that of OC, which demonstrated that SS as an aggregate could effectively improve the frost resistance lifespan of concrete to a certain extent.
Morphosyntactic features of progressive in the K’iche’an languages of the Mayan family
Authors: Sychev Roman V.
Published: November 2021

The article deals with the morphosyntactic features of the aspectual category of progressive in K’iche’an languages. The analysis is carried out using methods of intragenetic typology. It is proposed to clarify Vinogradov’s classification of progressive in the Mayan languages in relation to the K’iche’an group. Three types of K’iche’an progressive as well as three strategies for the distribution of ergative–absolutive markers in the progressive are proposed. The boundary between the uniclausal and biclausal analyses of complex aspect constructions in Mayan languages is proposed. The application to K’iche’an languages Robert Dixon’s generalization for aspectually based split ergativity is also described. Three strategies of verb argument marking in the progressive constructions are determined. It was found out that all aspectually conditioned splits in the ergative–absolutive strategy of argument marking in K’iche’an languages are observed in progressive (or historically progressive) constructions.
Integration of Complementary Multiproduct Firms
Authors: Wang Hao
Published: November 2021

Two firms offer product series from which multiple complementary pairs are formed. The firms engage in a price- or quantity-choosing game in the market. It is found that the integration of the two firms may not necessarily lower the equilibrium prices because it precludes “indirect competition” in the market. Therefore, the integration, which may appear as a vertical integration, could be an antitrust concern even in the absence of exclusionary purpose.
Peirce’s legacy for contemporary consciousness studies, the emergence of consciousness from qualia, and its evanescence in habits
Authors: Nöth Winfried
Published: November 2021

The paper argues that contemporary consciousness studies can profit from Charles S. Peirce’s philosophy of consciousness. It confronts mainstream tendencies in contemporary consciousness studies, including those which consider consciousness as an unsolvable mystery, with Peirce’s phenomenological approach to consciousness. Peirce’s answers to the following contemporary issues are presented: phenomenological consciousness and the qualia, consciousness as self-controlled agency of humans, self-control and self-reflection, consciousness and language, self-consciousness and introspection, consciousness and the other, consciousness of nonhuman animals, and the question of a quasi-consciousness of the physical universe. A detailed account of Peirce’s three modes of consciousness is presented: (1) primisense, qualisense or feeling-consciousness, (2) altersense (consciousness of the other), and (3) medisense, the consciousness of cognition, thought, and reasoning. In contrast to consciousness studies that establish a rather sharp dividing line between conscious and unconscious states of mind, Peirce adopts the principle of synechism, the theory of continuity. For him, consciousness is a matter of degree. An important difference between Peirce’s concept of qualia and current theories of qualia in human consciousness is discussed. The paper shows how consciousness, according to Peirce, emerges from unconscious qualia and vanishes into equally unconscious habits. It concludes with a study of the roles of qualia, habit, and self-control in Peirce’s theory of signs, in particular in qualisigns and symbols, and the question of signs as quasi-conscious agents in semiosis.
CalcOPP: a program for the calculation of one-particle potentials (OPPs)
Authors: Wiedemann Dennis
Published: November 2021

In recent years, one-particle potentials (OPPs) derived from neutron-diffraction data have become a popular means to estimate activation energies of ion migration in solids. Computer programs for their calculation, however, have mostly been private in-house solutions. The software CalcOPP presented herein permits calculating two- or three-dimensional OPPs either from probability density functions put out by the crystallographic suite
Jana2006/
Jana2020 (including error maps) or from scattering-density maps reconstructed using the maximum entropy method (MEM) implementation Dysnomia. The title program is open-source, written in modern free-form Fortran and Python 3, and available free of charge under the permissive MIT License. Executables are published for 64-bit Microsoft Windows and Linux platforms and can be controlled via an intuitive graphical user interface or via command-line interface. Depending on the kind of input, CalcOPP’s output is readily visualized with standard crystallographic software or plotting applications. The release of the program not only makes the rather powerful OPP method more transparent, but it also opens it up to a broader, less programming-oriented public.
OLD BELIEVERS IN RUSSIA AND ABROAD AMID THE PANDEMIC
Authors:   Institute of Europe of Russian Academy Sciences, Shimanskaya Olga
Published: November 2021

On the basis of documents and an array of confessional Internet publications, the article analyzes the interaction of Old Believer agreements with states (Russia, Ukraine, the Baltic countries, etc.) in the context of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. It occurred during the 400th anniversary of the protopope Avvakum (Petrov) (1620–1682), which is celebrated by Old Believers in Russia and beyond. Old Believers nowadays are the largest Russian religious diaspora seeking selfdetermination in the modern world through interaction with states and society. The pandemic in the jubilee year became a mark of change in the relationship between the Old Believers and the government. It shifted from confrontation and neutrality to cooperation within the framework of those models of state-confessional relations that have become established in countries where their communities exist. During the pandemic Old Believer accords urged church members to follow state measures introduced to combat spread of the infection and perceive all restrictions as temporary obedience. There has been a significant modernization of interaction within confessional communities in liturgical and everyday practices, associated with the intensified use of digital technologies. As a result, celebration of the anniversary of archpriest Avvakum became possible on a large scale despite the restrictions.
MIGRATION CRISIS IN THE EU: IS THE PEAK PASSED?
Authors:   Institute of Europe of Russian Academy Sciences, Potemkina Olga
Published: November 2021

The article analyses the prospects of a new migration crisis in the European Union. Referring the statistics of displaced persons within Afghanistan and the neighboring countries, the author predicts potential threat of an emergency migration influx to Europe. The factors are proposed that can cause a significant outflow of population from the country, but at the same time obstacles preventing a large number of Afghan asylum seekers from reaching the borders of the European Union: external pressure on the Taliban government to maintain control over emigration, remoteness from Europe and the excessive cost of travel, EU measures to strengthen the external border. The author concludes that there is a small probability of new large-scale migration crisis in the short term but does not exclude it in the long term if the plans of the European Union and the international community to assign responsibility for Afghan refugees to neighboring countries are not implemented. In the meantime, the author notes, the plans of the European Union are criticized by both MEPs and human rights.
La parasíntesis como manifestación de una lingüística del habla
Authors: González García Luis
Published: November 2021

En este trabajo intentaremos demostrar que, aunque la parasíntesis no es propiamente un procedimiento para crear palabras en español, sí existen palabras parasintéticas. Para aclarar esta aparente paradoja examinaremos, en primer lugar, los distintos tipos de palabras analizadas generalmente como parasintéticas. Desechadas aquellas que se pueden justificar a partir de otros procedimientos de formación (esencialmente prefijación y morfo discontinuo) comprobaremos que las palabras parasintéticas realmente existentes se justifican en el marco de una lingüística del habla (Saussure) o de la actuación (Chomsky) más adecuadamente que dentro del sistema de reglas de formación de palabras (RFP) del español, que vienen a infringir.
Correlatos prosódicos de los distintos valores de la conjunción pero

Published: November 2021

En los últimos tiempos se ha desarrollado un área de estudio vinculada con la manera en que comprendemos y producimos las estructuras y unidades gramaticales, entre ellas las relaciones intra e interoracionales. El análisis de la prosodia, una de las variables que más interviene en la comprensión y en el mapeo de estructuras (Frazier et al., 2006), resulta crucial para entender hasta qué punto la interfaz prosodia-sintaxis-pragmática determina el procesamiento cognitivo de las relaciones interoracionales. 
En el presente trabajo se identificaron diferentes valores sintáctico-pragmáticos que se asocian con el uso de la conjunción pero: adversativo-restrictivos o  preconcesivos al igual que ocurre en italiano y ruso (Mazzoleni, 2016; Biagini y Mazzoleni 2017, 2019). El objetivo principal de esta investigación es identificar los correlatos prosódicos asociados a estos valores. Para ello, en un primer momento se analizó un pequeño corpus del español rioplatense, constituido por audios de películas. Por otra parte, en una segunda instancia, se recolectó un corpus más amplio constituido por emisiones elicitadas de hablantes de español rioplatense. En ambos corpora, se tuvieron en cuenta los siguientes parámetros acústicos: duración (en milisegundos), velocidad (fonemas por segundo), inflexión (diferencia de F0 inicial y final) de ambos constituyentes y presencia o ausencia de pausas. La hipótesis de partida de este trabajo sostiene que existe una correlación entre las pistas prosódicas y los distintos valores de la conjunción. Los resultados muestran que en las emisiones que incluyen un coordinante pero adversativo-restrictivo la inflexión del primer constituyente es descendente, mientras que en las que incorporan un coordinante pero preconcesivo manifiesta una inflexión ascendente o sostenida. Asimismo, otros parámetros se asocian a las emisiones adversativas: mayor presencia y duración de pausa previa a la conjunción,  menor velocidad del primer constituyente y mayor duración en la producción del pero.
Un acercamiento al discurso directo en el español L2 de nativos de wolof: una transferencia narrativa en biperspectiva
Authors: Navarro Ciurana David
Published: November 2021

Los estudios interlingüísticos sobre el discurso referido evidencian la importancia de estudiar este fenómeno en las lenguas del África occidental, donde, por la complejidad de sus técnicas narratológicas, la lengua es vista como portadora de una tradición oral. Este artículo analiza si estas tradiciones discursivas perviven en situaciones de adquisición de una segunda lengua en contextos migratorios. Para ello, se parte del análisis del discurso directo en un corpus propio de nativos de wolof aprendices de español como L2 y se describe formal y funcionalmente. Los resultados muestran dos características principales. En primer lugar, el discurso directo es un recurso muy frecuente en el corpus, dado que supone el 26 % del total de palabras, con una función discursiva eminentemente narrativa. En segundo lugar, el corpus incluye características del discurso directo que escapan a la definición canónica, como la combinación de dos perspectivas. Esto se explica por la transferencia de una tradición discursiva propia de la cultura senegalesa, la transposición participativa, que mantiene sus valores formales y discursivo-pragmáticos en el español como segunda lengua.
Relativas y Anteposición Negativa en inglés y español
Authors: Jiménez Fernández Ángel Luis
Published: November 2021

En este trabajo analizo el impacto de los denominados Fenómenos de Oración Matriz, es decir, operaciones de índole discursiva que se dan exclusivamente en oraciones principales, como la Anteposición Negativa (ANeg), en oraciones relativas especificativas y explicativas, estableciendo un contraste entre el inglés y el español desde una perspectiva minimista (p. ej. This car, which only rarely did I drive, is in excellent condition). A tal efecto, he realizado un experimento con nativos de ambas lenguas, donde la tarea era juzgar la aceptabilidad de los tipos de relativas que incluían ANeg. El resultado más intrigante consiste en que en español no hay distinción entre los tipos de relativas que aceptan la ANeg, mientras que en inglés solo la permiten las relativas explicativas. La variación detectada en este trabajo experimental se explica mediante un análisis formal basado en el mecanismo de herencia de rasgos discursivos y la diferencia entre aserción y presuposición, que se refleja en la derivación sintáctica mediante la inclusión de un operador factivo (no-asertivo) que bloqueará o no la ANeg, dependiendo de si esta tiene que cruzar el operador no-asertivo en su movimiento a la periferia izquierda de la oración en una lengua determinada.
Expresión reflexiva versus no reflexiva del movimiento en español: una cuestión de perspectiva
Authors: Delbecque Nicole
Published: November 2021

El uso que el español hace de la construcción reflexiva para denotar un movimiento direccional no causativo suele explicarse en términos aspectuales. La presente contribución tiene por objetivo mostrar que, en realidad, la diferencia con la construcción no reflexiva no atañe a la estructuración temporal interna del evento como tal, sino que afecta a la representación de la participación de la entidad sujeto. Adoptando el marco de la lingüística cognitiva, se postula que la marca reflexiva simboliza el acceso mental al despliegue de energía en el participante desde una perspectiva interna que permite captar la dimensión experiencial de su relación cambiante con el entorno espacial sin que el fraccionamiento de su perfil haga perder la visión de conjunto. Esta hipótesis se verifica mediante el cotejo de contextos con los verbos ir y salir, por un lado, e irse y salirse, por otro. El análisis procura asimismo distinguir entre significado construccional y efectos de sentido discursivo-pragmáticos variables.
Los litograbados de la iglesia de Matara, Antabamba-Apurímac
Authors: Carreño-Collatupa Raúl
Published: November 2021

Nueve litograbados fueron identificados en la escalinata del arco de acceso al conjunto eclesiástico de Matara, en la provincia de Antabamba, Apurímac, todos con figuraciones abstractas e incisos en roca andesítica. Por la naturaleza de su iconografía, el hecho de que los grabados están cortados y en sillares incorporados a una construcción inka (huaka) primero y, posteriormente, a un conjunto eclesiástico colonial, es innegable que estos litos son atribuibles a tiempos pre-inkas y que el de la iglesia de Matara es un contexto rupestre secundario. Hasta donde se conoce, son los primeros litograbados registrados en la provincia de Antabamba, donde sólo se conocían pictografías. Lamentablemente, la mayoría de ellos han desaparecido en los últimos años debido a una “modernización” emprendida por las autoridades municipales de Matara y Huaquirca.
La construcción del Estado en una región fronteriza
Authors: Monrroy Anco Gustavo Alfonso
Published: November 2021

Estudia el proceso de construcción del Estado en Puno a través de los prefectos. Este proceso estuvo marcado por dos objetivos paralelos: integración al Estado peruano y diferenciación con Bolivia. Puno era estratégico para el naciente Estado por su producción minera, su recaudación vía contribución personal y ser zona de frontera. Los Prefectos a pesar de la inestabilidad y la precariedad económica, trataron de cumplir con las prioridades que la zona y el Estado exigían, para ello recurrían a la negociación, la sugerencia o la oposición. Los prefectos tuvieron mayor éxito en la recaudación y el control militar en tanto que el fomento de la minería y el control del contrabando tuvieron magros resultados.
Estudio arqueométrico de muestras de cerámica de la Amazonía peruana, cronología-estilística y la dinámica cultural
Authors: Mujica Baquerizo Ana Clemencia , Morales Chocano Daniel , Navarro Amaro Irvin
Published: November 2021

El uso de la arqueometría como método de análisis aplicado a la cerámica arqueológica de la Amazonía peruana, nos permite confirmar y conocer con precisión científica los componentes químicos y mineralógicos que se incluyen como materia prima en la elaboración y producción de la cerámica, lo que a su vez nos dan derroteros de la ubicación geográfica de las fuentes de origen de las canteras. El análisis arqueométrico también nos permite comprobar que los temperantes o desgrasantes de origen orgánico, como la “apacharana” o la esponja de agua (cauchi), usado por los nativos amazónicos tendría un alto porcentaje mineralógico de aluminosilicatos. La importancia de esta investigación es, además, corroborar varias hipótesis, no solo sobre los componentes mineralógicos en el proceso de elaboración de la cerámica, sino también para conocer otros aspectos sociales importantes sobre la cronología y la dinámica del proceso de interacción entre las sociedades prehistóricas amazónicas.

Published: November 2021

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar los parámetros hematológicos de cuyes nativos de la zona de Ayacucho, Perú, teniendo en cuenta la edad, sexo y estado fisiológico (preñez, recría, destetado). Se tomaron muestras de sangre y se analizaron manualmente siguiendo los métodos rutinarios de laboratorio. El recuento de glóbulos rojos y los valores de hematocrito y hemoglobina fueron mayores en cuyes de la etapa recría en comparación con cuyes destetados, y en machos en comparación con hembras. Asimismo, el recuento de glóbulos rojos y los valores de hematocrito y hemoglobina de hembras preñadas fueron similares a los valores de cuyes de recría. En la fórmula leucocitaria, los linfocitos fueron los de mayor proporción, seguidos de los neutrófilos. Los valores de referencia reportados en los diferentes grupos etarios y estado fisiológico, permitirá la toma de mejores decisiones clínicas.

Published: November 2021

El estudio se realizó en el Centro Experimental Alpaicayán, Universidad Nacional Daniel Alcides Carrión, Pasco, Perú, con el objetivo fue determinar la producción forrajera y calidad nutricional de la avena asociada con vicia. Se determinó la producción forrajera en contenidos de materia verde (MV), materia seca (MS) y el porcentaje de materia seca (%MS). Para el valor nutricional se determinaron la proteína cruda (%PC), fibra detergente neutro (%FDN), fibra detergente ácido (%FDA), calcio (%Ca) y fósforo (%P). Los tratamientos fueron T-1 (avena criolla, 150 kg/ha), T-2 (avena Mantaro 15, 110 kg/ha), T- 3 (avena Mantaro 15 más vicia, 110 y 30 kg/ha) y T-4 (avena criolla más vicia, 150 y 30 kg/ha). La producción de MV indicó que T-1 y T-4 fue similar, pero significativamente superior a T-2 y T-3 (p<0.05); sin embargo, sin diferencias significativas en producción de MS entre tratamientos. T-4 obtuvo mayor contenido de %PC, T-2 y T-4 presentaron los mayores rendimientos de %FDN y %FDA. T-4 presentó el mayor contenido de %P, en tanto que no hubo diferencias entre tratamientos para el contenido de %Ca. Se concluye que el tratamiento Mantaro 15 +vicia tiene una mejor producción forrajera y es de mejor calidad nutricional en referencia a los otros tratamientos.

Authors: Villegas Gonzalo , León Daphne , Falcón Néstor
Published: November 2021

El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la percepción de los propietarios de mascotas acerca del riesgo de infección de sus animales con COVID-19 en Lima, Perú. Se elaboró una encuesta en formato virtual dirigida a clientes de servicios veterinarios particulares de Lima Metropolitana. El instrumento recabó información demográfica, conocimientos sobre transmisión del SARS-CoV-2, casos de infección humana con dicho virus, manejo de la mascota en pandemia y percepción sobre el riesgo de infección de los animales por COVID-19. La encuesta fue respondida por 408 propietarios. Se reconoció que el principal medio de transmisión del COVID-19 eran las personas infectadas (93.6%). Los problemas respiratorios fueron poco observados en perros (8.1%) y gatos (2.2%). La percepción mayoritaria de los encuestados fue el no relacionar los problemas respiratorios de las mascotas con COVID-19 (80.6%), pero mostraron preocupación por la salud afectada de su animal (79.7%). La práctica de paseo de las mascotas se realizaba más de una vez al día (38.1%), siendo más frecuente no utilizar protección para los animales (65.4%). El paseo duraba generalmente entre 10 y 20 minutos (45.4%), realizándolo alrededor de la manzana (46.2%) y en parques (36.0%). Las medidas de higiene y prevención tomadas tras el paseo fueron baños y lavados de patas (73.4%) en las mascotas, y combinación de medidas que incluyeron distanciamiento social (80.4%), uso de equipos de protección personal (79.7%) y uso de alcohol/desinfectante (60.8%), en los propietarios. El estudio muestra una baja percepción del riesgo de trasmisión del COVID-19 del ser humano a las mascotas, conocimiento que debe ser reforzado por las autoridades de salud a fin de salvaguardar la relación humano animal basada en prácticas de tenencia responsable de estos animales.
Why Semioticians Love Vaižgantas, or the Never-ending Testing of the Method
Authors: Mačianskaitė Loreta
Published: November 2021

This research was inspired by the anniversaries of Algirdas Julius Greimas, Juozas Tumas-Vaižgantas and Kęstutis Nastopka that encouraged rethinking the relationship with tradition, while viewing it from several perspectives: biographical-cultural links, reception of classical literature, and history of Lithuanian semiotics. The paper reviews the works of semioticians’, analysing Vaižgantas’ oeuvre, attempting to find the trajectory of the evolving Lithuanian semiotic tradition in the most representative examples. It also presents a new interpretation of Vaižgantas’ novella, “Dėdės ir Dėdienės” (“Uncles and aunts”, 1929), while searching for the mythological reasons behind the motivations for its characters’ choices and referring to the arch-plot of Perkūnas-Velnias-Laumė. The entanglement of the planes of the hierogamy (the holy marriage) isotopy and the biblical one allows for interpreting this novella as a variation of the Exodus Myth. The problematics of parable discourse is exposed in considering the question of Vaižgantas’ semiotic originality.
The Beyond-Use Date Perception of Drugs in North Jakarta, Indonesia
Authors: Cokro Fonny , Arrang Sherly T. , Solang Jonathan A. N. , Sekarsari Pangestuning
Published: November 2021

Beyond-Use Date (BUD) refers to the unsafe period of drug consumption and is calculated from the moment of opening the primary package. Meanwhile, Indonesia has no current related data, in terms of public awareness. Therefore, this research aims to assess the BUD perception of North Jakarta communities and pharmacists’ roles in providing the relevant information. The data collection process employed a semi-structural interview across 6 districts in the research location between September-November 2019, followed by data transcription and thematic development. Based on 60 informants recruited by purposive sampling, three themes were obtained, including residual drug storage, pharmacists’ contributions, and BUD awareness. Furthermore, about 97% of the respondents were completely unaware of the subject matter, while 100% denied having any form of sensitization from pharmacists. The perception of 50% were based on the expiration date labelled on the medications. In summary, North Jakarta community’s views were possibly influenced by very poor BUD knowledge. Therefore, the role of pharmacists in educating patients and communities appears very essential.
A formação continuada no serviço de coordenação de turno
Authors: Junior Lafaiete Luiz de Oliveira
Published: November 2021

O presente relato apresenta uma proposta, que foi vivenciada na prática, sobre a formação dos educadores da coordenação de turno em um colégio particular da cidade de Novo Hamburgo/RS. A formação continuada dentro da escola é tema de muito estudo e análises na educação, principalmente através de autores como Antônio Nóvoa e Maurice Tardiff, ainda assim, os estudos estão voltados para professores e/ou estudantes, e quase nunca para os educadores da escola. Esta lacuna existente traz a possibilidade de pensar e estruturar novas propostas de intervenção sustentadas pelos eixos fundantes das concepções teóricas supracitadas. A construção desses blocos formativos se sustentou em temáticas que estão diretamente vinculadas à atuação profissional dos membros participantes: comunicação não violenta, disciplina positiva, educação inclusiva, mediação de conflitos e saúde mental.

Authors: Schmid Wolf
Published: November 2021

Mental events, changes that take place in the consciousness of the narrated characters or the narrating entity, are an essential theme of narrative works. This book first undertakes a typologization of the procedures by means of which the content of consciousness is represented, as well as outlining the conditions of events and the criteria of eventfulness. Then, classic narrative works from various cultures and epochs – from Parzival and Tristan, through Samuel Richardson and Jane Austen, to Fëdor Dostoevskij and Anton Čexov – are examined in terms of how mental events are shaped in them. The book follows three guiding questions. What philosophy of events and consciousness is expressed in the works? How disposed are different cultures and epochs to eventfulness? To what extent do they allow for the presentation of fundamental mental changes?

Islamic Tombstones Reused during the Early Islamic Period from Ramla, Capital of Jund Filastin
Authors: Gorzalczany Amir , Torgë Hagit
Published: November 2021

In different excavations in Ramla, fragmented Muslim tombstones were uncovered in secondary use, providing a terminus post quem in the mid or late 10th-century AD for their reuse. As showed by the ceramic evidence, the time elapsed between the last interments and the reusing of the tombstones stones as building material was at the most 70 years. Reusing of tombstones is a common archeological occurrence. In most cases, the reutilizing is carried out after a time enough to cut the emotional link between the burial and the builders, or when an ethnical replacement occurred, and new dwellers had no emotional relationship with the previous ones. The phenomenon in Ramla is then an exception. What were the circumstances that led to such an unusual comportment? One possible explanation is the occurrence of a traumatic event, such an earthquake. Following the dates on the stones, it is evident that the event could have occurred only after 961 AD. This could fit the tremor in 1033 AD, two generations after the erection of the tombstones. As for the lifespan of the reconstruction layers, the pottery assemblages related to them, show ceramic types diagnostic to the Fatimid period, not in use in the Crusader period. This, together with the simultaneous abandonment of sites in the city, suggest that the destruction of the reconstruction strata was caused by another catastrophic event, perhaps the 1068 AD tremor. If so, we have a hatch to a well-defined period, limited by two powerful natural catastrophes, that provide termini ante and post quem for the ephemeral reconstruction of the city.
Environment in the Islamic City of Termez (Uzbekistan)
Authors: Portero Rodrigo , Fusaro Agnese , Piqué Raquel , Gurt Josep M. , Elorza Mikelo , Gabriel Sónia , Pidaev Shakir R.
Published: November 2021

The aim of this paper is to understand the ways of life for the inhabitants of Termez (Uzbekistan) and its surrounding environment through the analysis of the zooarchaeological, charcoal, and ceramic material found inside a domestic combustion structure (tannur) dated to the early Islamic period (8th and 9th centuries AD). The tannur was located in a manufacturing area outside the city walls of old Termez, discovered during the 2018–2019 archaeological campaigns of the Uzbek-Spanish team IPAEB. The analysis of the charcoal hints at an abundance of local floral taxa that was used as firewood. The faunal remains indicate the presence of birds, mammals and fish at the site. The zooarchaeological study reveals the exploitation of the fluvial resources through the presence of fish of the Cyprinidae family in the vicinity of the Amu Darya. The scarcity of cut marks on and thermoalteration of the mammalian remains inside the tannur lead us to believe that the presence of the bones inside the container is related to their disposal rather than the use of the oven for cooking. Finally, the ceramic items collected in the tannur belong to the same wares and types identified in the assemblages collected from a workshop area at the site and are typical of the early Islamic period.
Thermoluminescence Analysis of Bricks from the so-called Arch of Ali Shah
Authors: Moradi Amin , Brambilla Marco Giovanni , Kamali Fereshteh Pashaei
Published: November 2021

The application of Thermally (TL) and Optically (OSL) Stimulated Luminescence on bricks used as building material can answer questions regarding the chronology of historical buildings. The remarkable historical reports of the “largest ever made brick vault” known as the Arch of Ali Shah (14th century) invoke the image of a gigantic structure adjoining the u-shaped brick monument in Tabriz. However, there is new scientific data that has led us to consider an alternate hypothesis regarding this monument that contradicts the traditional views of scholars. The attribution of this controversial building to Ali Shah, the great vizier of the Ilkhanid court, has long been considered an historical fact by scholars. To better understand the evolution of this unique structure, thermoluminescence (TL) was used to propose a relative dating for its construction. Surprisingly, the results yielded dates of 512±20, 514±27 and 517±21 AD (TL age, equaling 17th century), indicating that the u-shaped structure was built some 200 years after the Ilkhanid era. These dates, supplemented with historical context and architectural evidence, leads to the conclusion that it was used as a separate building before being integrated into the older building, thereby converting the entire complex into a formidable fortification. The remains of the so called Arch of Ali Shah are clearly of a later date, characterizing a completely different architectural style than those of the Ilkhanid period.

Mark’s Ending in the Digital Age
Authors: Monier Mina
Published: November 2021

In approaching the classic problem of Mark’s ending, it has been assumed that there was no stone left unturned. However, the dawning of the digital age has proven otherwise. As part of the SNSF–funded project MARK16, I have studied the complex evidence of Mark 16’s textual transmission to understand the scribal textual decisions. This was followed by electronic transcription of the studied material as part of the digitization process. I will argue, in the first part, that the hitherto neglected paratexts and codicological remarks provide rich evidence on the dynamics of the Endings’ reception, conception and later transmission, being inextricably interwoven with patristic interpretation. As a result, I will provide two new witnesses to the Shorter Ending, embedded in a commentary text. In the second part, I will show how transmitting this complex evidence through electronic transcription is another stage in line with earlier scribal experience that problematizes established categories in scholarship.
Eat, Shit, Scar
Authors: Elwell J. Sage
Published: November 2021

By leveraging two metaphors central to discussions around the digitization of sacred texts—“books are bodies” and “translation is feeding”—this essay contends that the translation of analog sacred texts into digital formats is a metaphorical gastrointestinal process. This essay accomplishes this through the application of actor-network theory. Central to actor-network theory is the claim that an object, like a book, is the product of a complex network of relationships that together create it and constitute its meaning. Importantly, this includes discourses about the very networks that yield the object in question. As such, this essay incorporates many of the voices that appear elsewhere in this special edition as well as assorted ephemera from my own medical history of gastrointestinal maladies. If books are bodies and translation is feeding, then problems surrounding the digitization of analog sacred texts reside somewhere between ingestion and excretion.
Smartphone Applications and Religious Reading among Swaminarayan Hindus
Authors: Mamtora Bhakti
Published: November 2021

This paper examines how two prominent digital sacred texts, Vachanamrut Study App and Swamini Vato Study App, shape reading and meaning-making practices among members of the Swaminarayan Sampraday in the United States. By analyzing the design and use of applications, I argue that smartphone applications are pedagogical tools that integrate offline modes of textual study and simplify access to the meanings of the teachings. The historical, contextual, and paratextual features of smartphone applications reinforce that the study of sacred texts is an intentional, conscientious, dialogical, and gradual process—a process that enables individuals to fulfill their religious aspirations.
«Browsing». De la exploración a la navegación, o la mutación del (no) proyecto de arquitectura
Authors: Coll-Barreu Juan
Published: November 2021

El artículo observa el germen del proyecto de arquitectura, la vieja “autoría”, y lo confronta con el proceso contemporáneo en el que la acumulación hiperpublicitada de recursos es utilizada para la incesante reproducción del entorno construido. El texto demuestra que la actual pluralidad de lo preexistente se implica radicalmente en la producción de nuevos “contenidos” mediante su intromisión en la máquina del arquitecto. El autor del artículo analiza desde esa óptica dos proyectos recientes de arquitectura, de respetada autoría, para identificar una aparente renuncia al proyecto y a la autoría en beneficio de lo que denomina browsing e identifica con el impulsivo scroll down de la navegación en la red.
A Pyramid of Paperwork: Labors of Imagination and Interpretation in Late Twentieth Century Architectural Practice
Authors: Abrahamson Michael
Published: November 2021

A fundamental shift in employment patterns among architects in North America during the 1960s and 1970s impacted how particular kinds of tasks were either monopolized or delegated within firms. This article uses the archive of the U.S.-based architectural firm Gunnar Birkerts and Associates to show evidence of a growing gulf between executive architects and employee architects (particularly women assigned to work on interiors), as well as the persistence of chauvinistic ideals of practice under changed circumstances. The design for the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis building (1967- 73) is shown to be illustrative of this gulf between imaginative and interpretive labor.
