A Re-Interrogation of Immunization Programme in Enugu State Nigeria: Impediments and Way Forward
Authors: Chukwuemeka Emma E.O. , Aduma Aloysius , Ezeigwe Francisca Ogo
Published: June 2019

Immunization is a public health strategy and programme for improving child survival, not only by directly combating key diseases that kill children but also by providing a platform for other health services. Millions of children in low-income areas in Enugu State are believed not to receive the full series of the vaccines on the National routine immunization schedule. The underlying tragedy provokes this research. Random sampling technique was used in choosing six low-income areas in Enugu State. Focus group discussion, questionnaire and face- to- face interview were the major tools used for data collection. Focus group discussion was essentially used to elicit information from mothers who have aversion for immunization. Statistical tools such as frequency tables, correlation coefficient and chi-square were used in data analysis and test of hypotheses. The correlation coefficient test revealed high correlation between lopsidedness in the implementation of immunization policy and high rate of death among children in low-income areas. The chi-square test revealed that immunization policies are properly formulated but most low-income parents do not take their children for full immunization schedule because of insufficient enlightment campaign and sensitization strategy. Essentially, we recommended that immunization certificate should be given to mothers who fully immunized their children. Those who resist immunization should be deprived of democracy dividends from the government.
Sidewalks and Frames: Sites of Contact, Sites of Hope
Authors: Craig Megan
Published: June 2019

This article brings together Toni Morrison, Jane Jacobs, and Howard Hodgkin to consider the stress they each place on “contact,” albeit through their distinctive media of literature, urban planning, and oil paint, respectively. The article begins with Morrison's account of the stranger as not foreign or unusual but “random.” Morrison views literature as a means of bringing readers into controlled contact with others and especially with those others (those strangers) one might fear, avoid, or overlook. Morrison sets the stage for thinking about contact in relation to the concept of randomness. Part 2 turns to Jacobs, who investigates city sidewalks as sites of interpersonal contact that affect the safety, health, solidarity, responsibility, and freedoms of those living in urban environments. Part 3 turns to Hodgkin and his obsession with the frame as an invitation to touch. The figures brought together in this article serve as touchstones for how to create, foster, or enlarge sites for contact. Together they might help us to expand the parameters of what contact might mean, how it might occur, and where it can happen.
Locating One's Life: Memory, Mood, and Self-Reflection
Authors: Innis Robert E.
Published: June 2019

This article aims to analyze some contours of the existential practice of attempting to “locate one's life” through self-reflection. I will focus primarily, but not exclusively, on two exemplifications of self-reflection that are not “philosophical” in any technical or academic sense: Cory Taylor's Dying: A Memoir and Yi-Fu Tuan's Who Am I? An Autobiography of Emotion, Mind, and Spirit. Taylor, a novelist, is writing hurriedly facing imminent death, while Tuan, a distinguished cultural geographer, writes facing not death but the prospect of continuing to live without any real will to do so. Their reflections are carried out in two different rhetorical registers, with quite different motivational contexts and expectations. They throw clear light, with rich philosophical import, on the complex relations between memory and mood, such as regret and nostalgia, the languages of self-description, and the permanent tensions between hope and action in coming to terms with what or who one is, or has become, or with what, if anything, lies ahead.
Memory, Reconstruction, and Ethics in Memorialization
Authors: Stroud Scott R. , Henson Jonathan A.
Published: June 2019

The article examines the ethical choices that are implicit in acts of memorialization. By engaging literature on the rhetoric of memorials and pragmatist aesthetics, we argue that memorialization involves a range of important ethical choices in who is remembered, how they are remembered, and the experience the act of memorialization evokes in viewers. By using John Dewey's nascent account of memorial aesthetics, we construct an exploratory typology of the ways that memorials can use and evoke the experience of viewers. The means of experiential reconstruction are also found to involve important ethical decisions. We explore the usefulness of this typology in reference to two different memorials: Ambedkar Memorial Park in Lucknow, India, and the Memorial for the Unknown War Deserters and for the Victims of the National Socialist Military Justice System in Erfurt, Germany.
Social Marketing for Restraining the Violence of the Supporters by Behaviour Change
Authors: Silva Edson Coutinho da , Las Casas Alexandre Luzzi
Published: June 2019

This theoretical paper aims to introduce and discuss the role of the social marketing as a tool to decrease the index of violence between supporters and improve the satisfaction, well-being and quality of life of fans (as a whole) in the stadium. Understanding the violence in the stadium as a social problem; social marketing becomes a relevant instrument to decrease the violence between supporters since behaviour change is the core concept. Social marketing principles use ideas to transform a social scenario. Social marketing seeks, in the sports area, to encourage supporters to perform an active role in the well-being process in the stadium, taking into consideration themselves, sports club, public services preservation and non-supporters. The social marketing campaign should be designed by a public organisation using the partnership with the sports clubs or sponsorships to improve the offer of well-being for individuals; however, not providing profits for anyone.

Published: June 2019

This study aims to underpin the relationship marketing as an orientation to customer retention. Further, this study undertakes the case study of banking sector from Sindh province, Pakistan. The reason of conducting this study was to analyze the impact of relationship marketing on customer’s retention in the banking sector. Relationship marketing is getting more attention and popularity around the world and helps in developing customers satisfaction and loyalty. Quantitative research approach was used to measure the response of the sample. A field survey was conducted from customers of 20 banks operating in Larkana.  An adopted questionnaire was used with five variables, four independent (Trust, commitment, communication and conflict handling) to predict one dependent variable (Customer retention) at 5-point Likert scale. The response was collected through close-ended questionnaire. The study has found that all the independent variables are positive and significant predictors of dependent variable with a good fit between their reliability and sample size adequacy. The major contribution of this study for the managers of banks particularly in Pakistani context is to take serious efforts to implement CRM effectively for customer retention in challenging marketing landscape due to technological and business extensions. The study has self-report nature so it cannot be generalized in all aspects. Research has left a gap for future research in the same set as well.
A Discourse Analysis Study of Comic Words in the American and British Sitcoms
Authors: Rashid Bushra Ni’ma
Published: June 2019

This paper investigates discourse analysis and its role in studying comic words and their meaning in different contexts. This study aims at showing the relation between discourse analysis and comedy or comic words, presenting the types of comedy and comic words and how they give meaning of mocking, teasing and sarcasm, presenting the difference between mocking, teasing and sarcasm, displaying interjections and their relation with comic words, in addition to analyzing the data in terms of tables. It is hypothesized that many people do not know the meaning of discourse analysis and comedy. Second, they do not have the capacity to differentiate between comedy, mocking, sarcasm and teasing. They also do not know how to use comic words in expressions. Above all, many of them cannot analyze a particular episode properly and people cannot know the intentions of the speaker concerning comic words. The value of this study is for people who are interested in linguistics. The data used in this study are the American sitcom ‘Friends’ and the British one titled ‘Bottom’. The data is analyzed on the basis of the theories of the Cooperative Principle and Taflinger model. The results of “Friends”, the American sitcom and “Bottom”, the British one, show that there are many comic words. The characters use interjections or onomatopoeia to communicate laughter and excitement. The use of teasing is also emphasized by the use of other comic words like: a*s, breasts, and idiot for presenting jokes and laughter sense.
Role of Salicylic Acid in Alleviating Cobalt Toxicity in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Seedlings
Authors: Mohamed Hala Ezzat , Hassan Atiat Mohamed
Published: June 2019

Heavy metals pollution of soils become the most serious environmental problem resulted in decreased soil fertility and crop yield losses. Cobalt (Co), as a beneficial element, can be a contaminant in soils due to agricultural additives or metal refineries, it causes irreversible damage to several physiological and metabolic constituents at higher concentrations. In this investigation we study the effects of different Co concentrations (0, 50,150, 250, 350 µM as CoCl2) on growth and physiological processes in wheat (Triticum aestivum) plants and discuss the role of spraying with salicylic acid (0.5 mM) for ameliorating effect of cobalt toxicity in wheat leaves. Cobalt causing a significant reduction in fresh and dry biomass, shoot height, water content and total photosynthetic pigments. This was accompanied with accumulation of H2O2 and MDA contents and induction of some antioxidant enzymes activities. There was an increase in SOD activity with increasing Co concentration then decline, a significant increase in APX and PPO activities while CAT was significantly declined. Spraying wheat seedlings with salicylic acid can be recognized to significantly increase in all tested growth parameters and that was attributed to decrease, to some extent, the accumulation of H2O2 and MDA and improve the activity of antioxidant enzymes.
Characterizing the Drivers of Global Food Trade Growth in 21th Century
Authors: González-Moralejo Silvia Andrés , Miquel Juan Francisco López
Published: June 2019

21st century is characterised by a steady growth in the global demand for basic foodstuffs. This paper reviews the drivers of this growth, through a descriptive analysis of the main literature on the subject, in order to synthesize the most relevant information generated by researchers and position the current state of the issue. The results of the analysis suggest that emerging economies have taken over in the increase of food imports; this is due to the potential of countries such as China, India, Brazil and Russia, which have become propellers of the global economy. From the developing countries, the increase in population and income are the driving forces behind the dynamism of world food demand, whose direct consequences are the increase in per capita consumption, the acceleration of the urbanization process in these regions and the increase in the consumption of products with greater added value. In developed economies, increases in per capita income do not translate into increases in the demand for food; rather, its role with respect to global demand is to promote it as they deepen the production of biofuels, the liberalization of the agricultural sector and the signing of trade agreements. Finally, the work concludes by warning about the uncertainties that surround the demand for food imports, including the crucial role played by climate change.

The objective of the present study was to test and establish mathematical models to estimate the leaf area of Garcinia brasiliensis Mart. through linear dimensions of the length, width and product of both measurements. In this way, 500 leaves of trees with age between 4 and 6 years were collected from all the cardinal points of the plant in the municipality of São Mateus, North of the State of Espírito Santo, Brazil. The length (L) along the main midrib, the maximum width (W), the product of the length with the width (LW) and the observed leaf area (OLA) were obtained for all leaves. From these measurements were adjusted linear equations of first degree, quadratic and power, in which OLA was used as dependent variable as function of L, W and LW as independent variable. For the validation, the values of L, W and LW of 100 random leaves were substituted in the equations generated in the modeling, thus obtaining the estimated leaf area (ELA). The values of the means of ELA and OLA were tested by Student’s t test 5% of probability. The mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE) and Willmott’s index d for all proposed models were also determined. The choice of the best model was based on the non significant values in the comparison of the means of ELA and OLA, values of MAE and RMSE closer to zero and value of the index d and coefficient of determination (R2) close to unity. The equation that best estimates leaf area of Garcinia brasiliensis Mart. in a way non-destructive is the power model represented by por ELA = 0.7470(LW)0.9842 and R2 = 0.9949.

Owing to an increasing demand for food, a constant agricultural production flow must be maintained. Further, for doing so, the use of pesticides is necessary. An alternative that results in less damage to the ecosystem and people themselves may be identified by studies on the allelopathic effect of weeds. Therefore, this work aimed to evaluate the allelopathic action of hexane, dichloromethane, butanol, and ethyl acetate fractions of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) on the initial growth of morning glory (Ipomoea grandifolia [Dammer] O’Donell) and slim amaranth (Amaranthus hybridus L.), which was verified by the percentage of germination, speed of germination, seedling length, and fresh and dry biomass weight. The experiments were conducted in an incubation chamber at 25 °C for 7 and 14 days for morning glory and slim amaranth, respectively. The experimental design was completely randomized, with five replicates in Petri dishes. The data were evaluated by analysis of variance, and the averages between each treatment were compared using the Scott Knott test at a 5% significance level. The results indicated that the dichloromethane and ethyl acetate fractions decreased the initial growth of morning glory and slim amaranth more, when compared with the effects of hexane and butanol.
Geografías de la diversidad sexogenérica más allá de la gran ciudad: experiencias, discursos y prácticas en dos ciudades medianas de Cataluña
Authors: Langarita Adiego Jose Antonio , Mas Grau Jordi , Jubany Olga
Published: June 2019

La gran ciudad se ha presentado mediáticamente, y también en las líneas predominantes del debate académico, como el espacio propio para las personas LGTB. Se concibe como el único lugar vivible y de experimentación para este grupo poblacional, absorbiendo así los significados de la diversidad sexogenérica. En este artículo se analizan las experiencias, los discursos, las representaciones y las prácticas de personas LGTB que viven fuera de la gran ciudad (Barcelona), a través del estudio de dos poblaciones medianas (Girona y Sabadell), con el fin de abordar dos asuntos clave: (1) los vínculos, las relaciones y las influencias entre ciudades medianas y la gran ciudad en materia de diversidad sexual y de género, y (2) la construcción de alteridades socioculturales en las percepciones sobre la tolerancia hacia las expresiones LGTB a través de la relación entre el centro y las periferias urbanas. Dicho análisis se fundamenta en los resultados empíricos de una investigación de corte cualitativo basada en entrevistas en profundidad, grupos de discusión y observación participante.
Las ciudades de San Luis Potosí y Guanajuato en defensa de su preeminencia, 1786-1821
Authors: Bernal Ruiz Graciela
Published: June 2019

El artículo analiza la defensa que los grupos de poder asentados en dos ciudades marcadas por la actividad minera hicieron de su preeminencia entre 1786 y 1821. Nos centramos en las competencias de las instituciones locales, el prestigio que habían adquirido a lo largo del tiempo y los intentos del reformismo borbónico y del liberalismo por tratar de disminuirlos. A partir de lo anterior, se identifican las prácticas que pretendieron mantener en medio de los cambios que se presentaron en el periodo analizado, así como aquellas de las que abrevaron para defender esa preeminencia. Partimos del hecho de que el cabildo fue la institución más importante desde la que esos grupos actuaron, pero también buscaron controlar las instituciones creadas por el reformismo borbónico, por las eventualidades de 1808 y el constitucionalismo gaditano.
La figura del jefe político departamental en Guatemala, El Salvador y Nicaragua durante la primera mitad del siglo XIX
Authors: Avendaño Rojas Xiomara
Published: June 2019

Desde la esfera administrativa, en el siglo XVIII se instaura en la Península de Yucatán la figura del corregidor como una entidad de apoyo al control político-administrativo del territorio. Durante la época colonial, el interior de la Capitanía General de Guatemala se organizó en corregimientos y alcaldías mayores, y posteriormente en intendencias y subdelegaciones. A partir de la Carta Magna gaditana, la división político-administrativa se transformó en diputaciones provinciales. Entre 1812 y 1824, el antiguo Reino de Guatemala se articuló en una monarquía constitucional (la hispánica y la mexicana) y entre 1824 y 1838, en una república federal. En este último período. cada estado se organizó en departamentos; este proceso de formulación legal de la jefatura política, recogió principios elementales de la tradición hispánica y el liberalismo.En este texto, se abordará el esquema normativo del gobierno territorial en las provincias-estados de Guatemala, El Salvador y Nicaragua desde el enfoque institucional.  Son de gran utilidad las cartas magnas, decretos, instrucciones o reglamentos, e indispensable el uso de una bibliografía especializada en historia del constitucionalismo y de las jefaturas políticas de la antigua América hispánica.La reciente era constitucional entrelaza dos elementos vitales para la comunidad política: las elecciones y la administración pública. Al parecer, en una etapa de construcción del constitucionalismo decimonónico, la figura del jefe político departamental se estableció como una entidad política y administrativa relevante dentro de la estructura estatal; además, fue un representante gubernamental con amplias funciones para controlar el territorio en lo fiscal, lo político, así como un buen intento del control social. Como pregunta guía, presentamos la siguiente: ¿De qué forma la jefatura departamental articuló el gobierno territorial con la nueva forma del ejercicio del poder?
Is bacterial microbiome from the Polemonium caeruleum L. (Polemoniaceae) nectar geographically variable?
Authors: Ryniewicz Justyna , Decewicz Przemyslaw , Dziewit Lukasz , Zych Marcin
Published: June 2019

Floral nectar is one of the key rewards in the mutualistic interactions between plants and pollinators. However, there is a growing amount of evidence that shows that another group of organisms may be involved in the pollination process, namely the microorganisms, which often inhabit floral nectar. However, little is known about the function and taxonomic diversity of microorganisms inhabiting the nectar of plants. Bacterial communities inhabiting nectar of a rare plant species, Polemonium caeruleum, in one artificial and two natural populations in Poland were analyzed using a metagenomic approach. Polemonium caeruleum is a boreal plant species, and requires appropriate pollinator services for seed production. The reproductive system of this plant may vary between individuals and populations (mixed-mating), as well as with insect visitor assemblages. We considered that nectar-dwelling bacteria of P. caeruleum might affect the insects visiting the plant’s flowers, which in turn can result in changes in the plant’s phenotype and its reproductive system. Bacterial diversity in nectar samples was surveyed using culture-independent 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing (MiSeq, Illumina). We found that bacterial communities inhabiting the nectar of P. caeruleum differed between populations, although those differences were mostly quantitative. Many of the identified bacterial genera have been found previously in nectar of other plant species, or in the guts of insect visitors, and are described as tolerant of high sugar concentrations and catalase positive (which allows bacteria to survive in the presence of hydrogen peroxide).
Neuroma (schwannoma). A rare pancreatic tumor
Authors: Witkowski Grzegorz , Kołos Małgorzata , Nasierowska-Guttmejer Anna , Durlik Marek
Published: June 2019

Neuroma (Schwannoma in Latin) is an encapsulated, mesenchymal tumor arising from Schwann cells surrounded by nerves. Hence it can be located in any area in the body with passing peripheral nerves. The most common location is the head, neck, and extremities. The tumor arising from Schwannoma cells was first described by Stout and Carson in 1935. Pancreatic schwannomas are extremely rare tumors. Until 2017, in English literature 68 cases have been described. Surgical treatment is the most common way of treating pancreatic schwannomas, and postoperative prognoses are good. A 63-year-old patient was admitted to the Clinical Department of Gastroenterological Surgery and Transplantation of the Central Clinical Hospital at the Ministry of Interior and Administration in Warsaw due to pancreatic head cancer. Needle biopsy–both ultrasound-guided and CT-guided as well as open biopsy for lesions in the pancreas did not show tumor cells in any of the collected samples. Abdominal CT in a projection of the uncinate process of the pancreas revealed an oval lesion highly suspected of neoplastic process. Next, diagnostics was extended by abdominal MRI which revealed a retroperitoneal tumorous thick-walled cystic mass filled with fluid. The patient was qualified for surgical treatment. Pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple Procedure) was done on August 22, 2017. Material sent for histopathological examination revealed Schwannoma capitis pancreatis. In surgical practice, pancreatic schwannoma occurs extremely rare, but in centers which conduct large numbers of surgical procedures in the pancreas, a case like this may occur.

CENTRAL STORAGE FACILITY FOR MUSEUM COLLECTIONS: A NEW TASK FOR THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR MUSEUMS AND PUBLIC COLLECTIONS
Authors: Czop Janusz
Published: June 2019

Museum is collections. Their safe and appropriate
storage has always been and will remain the basic statutory
activity of every museum. As can be found in both domestic
and international sources, merely a fraction of museums’
collections is on permanent display, while their remaining
part is kept in museums’ storerooms. Therefore, the priority
goal of every museum, of its management, and organizer,
should be the availability of an adequate storage area.
Regrettably, history and praxis demonstrate that it is precisely
within this field that museums have always had and continue
having the greatest needs. Worldwide museology faces the
ongoing challenge of museum collection storage, and this is
the challenge that Polish museums face as well. Fortunately,
for over two decades a process of actual transformation in
this respect has been occurring, the latter resulting in modern
storage facilities being built. These, complying with the latest
standards, shall guarantee high-quality protection to the
collections, as well as a low-budget construction, and low
energy consumption in the course of operations. Poland, too,
has been participating in these changes.
Recently, the topic of museum storage areas has
entered the list of priority tasks of the Ministry of Culture
and National Heritage, which in 2016 commissioned the
National Institute for Museums and Public Collections
(NIMOZ) to provide appropriate reports, analyses,
and concepts, while in 2018 it formally assigned the
Construction of the Central Storage Facility for Museum
Collections Project (CMZM) to NIMOZ. A new position of the Director’s Proxy for the Central Storage Facility for
Museum Collections has been created. This means that
a major development in the history of Polish museology
has taken place: at the Ministry of Culture and National
Heritage and its subordinate cultural institution definite
steps have formally been taken in order to resolve the
problems of museum collection storage in Poland. The
assumption has been made that CMZM will be a pilot and
model solution that can be followed by subsequent storage
facilities for museums in Poland’s other regions.

The Challenge of Maintaining the Rule of Law: Ensuring Legitimacy of Courts at National and Cross-National Levels
Authors: Shetreet Shimon
Published: June 2019

In the context of the legitimacy of the justice system and respect for fundamental values, such as judicial independence and impartiality, accessibility to the justice system, efficiency, fairness, and public confidence in the courts, this article demonstrates that the application of certain values might contradict and conflict with the application of others. The central argument of this paper is that the legitimacy of the courts is desired not only at a national level, but required internationally as well. The article concludes that, in order to maintain the legitimacy of courts and of the justice system, efforts must be made by all branches of government to promote the fundamental values of democracy and justice, and in particular - the independence of the judiciary in the administration of courts, be it by adopting the shared model of responsibility, or by fully acknowledging the ability and the social desirability of a judiciary that administrates itself.
Domestic Infringements of the Rule of Law as a European Union Problem
Authors: Safjan Marek
Published: June 2019

In some countries of central Europe the rule of law is directly threatened by a new type of legislation based on the zeal of the political majority to establish a completely different political system than the one that was built after the collapse of the communist system. From that perspective, there is little place for the principle of separation of powers and the independence of the judiciary is threatened. This contribution discusses the multilevel dimension of the rule of law principle in the EU, issues in the context of the disrespect for the rule of law as a case of systemic deficiencies, followed by a brief discussion of the Copenhagen accession criteria. The article concludes that the rule of law principle as recognised under EU law is by no means of a merely symbolic nature, and that domestic legislation abolishing key safeguards of the rule of law can be scrutinized not only under the EU Charter of fundamental rights, where applicable, but also under the TEU. Without the solidarity of all Europeans, however, the preservation of our basic values and the future of the EU are in serious danger.
Mediendemokratie und Verfassungskontrolle à brasileira: Zur Bundesintervention in Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Peterke Sven
Published: June 2019

During carnival 2018, Brazilian mass media reported about a dramatic increase of crime and violence in Rio de Janeiro. Former President Michel Temer thereupon signed a decree that announced a federal intervention into Rio de Janeiro´s competence for public security. Being an historic precedent since Brazil´s return to democracy, the decree subordinated this competence under the command of a general. The present analysis shows that the constitutionality of this extraordinary measure was not properly analyzed by the organs responsible for its control and that this failure can be attributed to media pressure from which the President and his supporters aptly knew to take advantage of. The federal intervention is therefore both an example for modern power politics under the conditions of a media democracy and another evidence for the country´s institutional and political crisis, which has aggravated since former President Dilma Rousseff´s ouster through a dubious impeachment process.

Benefit Corporations
Authors: Wilburn Kathleen , Wilburn Ralph ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: June 2019

More than half of the S&P 500 and the Fortune 500 companies publish corporate social responsibility (CSR) reports. CSR is at the heart of a new form of corporation, the benefit corporation, which requires the pursuit of a social purpose as well as pursuit of profit. Thirty-four states, plus the District of Columbia, have enacted benefit corporation legislation. Most laws require that benefit corporations publish reports on their social purpose performance using a third-party assessment format. The purpose of this paper is to analyze 1,530 benefit corporations identified by B Lab and the state of Minnesota for proof of social purpose performance, as demonstrated in reports on their websites. The study found some companies with excellent reports, but those had had a CSR focus prior to becoming benefit corporations or had been Certified B Corporations. However, most benefit corporations in the study had no published reports; many have no websites.
Personal Incommunicability and Interpersonal Communion
Authors: Frey Br. Reed ,   Catholic University of America Press
Published: June 2019

Newman’s anthropology duly appreciates the individuality and subjectivity of the human person, identifying each person as having “an infinite abyss of existence” within. Each person has thoughts and experiences that can never be fully understood by another. Yet Newman balances this focus on the radical irreducibility and individuality of the person with the inextricably social dimension of personhood, which is important for belief and value formation and moral development. He recognizes that we are social beings, discovering ourselves and growing through the influence of community and interpersonal relationships. This essay proposes, through a presentation of the personalist thought of Newman, that the radical individuality and subjectivity of the person does not need to be seen as an alienating or isolating reality but can rather be viewed as a basis for the development of interpersonal relationships.
The Unfolding of Gender in the Human Person
Authors: Salyer Maria Gemma ,   Catholic University of America Press
Published: June 2019

This essay evaluates the role of gender in the human person. According to the Thomistic account, gender is an accident of the material body. I suggest that the Thomistic account is in need of revision and examine a modified Thomistic account presented by John Finley, which establishes gender as an inseparable accident stemming from the soul. Finley’s account, which strives to remain faithful to Thomism, is closer to the essentialist position offered by personalist philosopher Edith Stein. I present Stein’s account of gender as essential by focusing on two poignant claims made by Stein: (1) that gender relates to the essence of the person as it unfolds from a spiritual core and (2) that human nature is comprised of a dual species, male and female. I argue that these two claims serve to establish Stein’s essentialist position regarding gender.
As transformações na estrutura produtiva internacional e os impactos na indústria brasileira: uma análise a partir da dimensão tecnológica
Authors: Gomes Guilherme , Diegues Antônio Carlos
Published: June 2019

O objetivo desse artigo é analisar as transformações da estrutura produtiva brasileira em perspectiva comparada a Alemanha, China, Estados Unidos (EUA), Japão e México, com ênfase na dimensão tecnológica. Para tal, parte-se da hipótese de que tais transformações devem ser compreendidas como derivadas do fenômeno de constituição de redes globais de produção e crescente deslocamento produtivo para países asiáticos que apresentam baixos custos de produção. Admite-se ainda que processo tem condicionado as possibilidades de desenvolvimento produtivo industrial dos países, inclusive o brasileiro. Como principais resultados, observou-se que a China passou a se industrializar ao receber etapas do processo produtivo manufatureiro mundial, fragmentado em redes globais de produção. Por outro lado, países industrializados como Alemanha, Japão e EUA passaram por um processo de desindustrialização no período recente, definido pela literatura especializada como normal. No mesmo sentido, Brasil e México, passam por um processo de desindustrialização entendido pela literatura como precoce, uma vez que não atingiram um grau de desenvolvimento considerável. Conclui-se que no caso brasileiro, observa-se um atraso tecnológico, principalmente em setores típicos do paradigma microeletrônico, além de se observar um aumento do gap de produtividade que tem levado a economia brasileira a um caminho de falling behind.
Desaprendizaje e inestabilidad. Perspectivas para una teoría cognitiva de la lectura poética
Authors: Gamoneda Lanza Amelia
Published: June 2019

La lectura poética explora técnicas que rescatan procesos cognitivos básicos y aún no automatizados que todo aprendizaje lector activa. Asimismo, la lectura poética sostiene e incentiva los estados de inestabilidad cognitiva por los que ha de pasar cualquier proceso mental. Se configuran así estrategias cognitivas de desaprendizaje de automatismos y de irresolución de interpretaciones que tienen como resultado el extrañamiento y la complejidad, y que se analizarán en el contexto de un poema de Baudelaire.This poetic reading explores techniques which rediscover basic cognitive processes which up to now have not been automated and which all readers draw upon. At the same time, the poetic reading sustains and incentivizes the state of cognitive instability through which every mental process passes. In this way the article shows cognitive strategies of unlearning of methods already learned and strategies of maintaining irreconcilable interpretations which result in estrangement and complexity, and which will be analyzed in the context of a poem by Baudelaire.
Lectura inmersiva, lectura encarnada: una aproximación neuroestética a la descripción del entorno en la obra de Antoine Volodine
Authors: Patoine Pierre Louis
Published: June 2019

¿Cómo habitar, con nuestro cuerpo sensible y empático, un entorno descrito por un texto? El presente artículo explora dicha cuestión a partir de una serie de investigaciones desarrolladas a lo largo de las últimas décadas en el ámbito de las neurociencias en torno a la cognición encarnada y los estados alterados de consciencia. A partir de las investigaciones mencionadas, trataremos de comprender mejor los procesos que dan lugar a la inmersión del lector en determinadas descripciones presentes en Des anges mineurs (1999) y Terminus Radieux (2014), de Antoine Volodine. Este modelo neuroestético de la experiencia inmersiva del entorno estará respaldado por una reinterpretación de la distinción narratológica entre descripción y narración. Observaremos de este modo que la inmersión encarnada puede dotar de un alto grado de soberanía a la práctica estética de la descripción (que tiende a adquirir autonomía con respecto a la narración y a otorgarle un valor intrínseco al entorno y a los elementos que lo conforman), hasta el punto de atribuirle un papel ecológico fundamental en la era del Antropoceno.How can we inhabit, with our sensitive empathic body, an environment described by a text? This paper explores this question through neuropsychological studies on embodied cognition and altered states of consciousness. These studies help us to elucidate the reader’s immersion in the descriptions of Minor Angels (1999) and Radiant Terminus (2014), from Antoine Volodine. Our neuroaesthetic model of immersive inhabitation will allow us to reinterpret the narratology distinction of descriptions and narration. We will thus see that embodied immersion can turn description into a sovereign aesthetic practice, tending toward autonomy from narration and endowed with intrinsic ecological value in the age of the Anthropocene.
Presentación. Sobre poesía y poetas en la era digital
Authors: Alonso Valero Encarna
Published: June 2019

El monográfico que presentamos pretende reflexionar sobre las relaciones complejas entre poesía, redes sociales y tecnología en la nueva era digital. Los trabajos que lo componen se agrupan en dos líneas de análisis fundamentales: la primera se centra en la relación entre poesía y redes sociales para estudiar cómo las redes han cambiado nuestra concepción de la poesía, así como la manera de escribirla y de leerla; y la segunda se aproxima a la poesía ligada a lo tecnológico y lo digital, especialmente la e-poetry y la poesía código.The monograph that we present aims to reflect on the complex relationships between poetry, social networks and technology in the new digital era. The works are grouped into two fundamental lines of analysis: the first focuses on the relationship between poetry and social networks to study how networks have changed our conception of poetry, and our way of writing and reading it; the second approaches poetry linked to technology and digital, especially e-poetry and code poetry.
Hipertextualidad en Asimov: cartografía de la trilogía “Foundation”
Authors: Arroyo Barrigüete José Luis
Published: June 2019

En este trabajo se lleva a cabo una cartografía de los elementos hipertextuales presentes en el cronotopo de la trilogía Foundation de Asimov, así como en sus elementos vertebradores. De este modo se pretende probar que su éxito se debe, al menos en parte, a la ingente presencia de relaciones hipertextuales, principalmente arquetípicas, que permiten una lectura a dos niveles. La lectura superficial es en sí misma satisfactoria, pero es la lectura palimpséstica la que descubre toda la riqueza de su obra, permitiendo un disfrute mucho mayor y mostrando la extraordinaria cultura humanística de Asimov.This work carries out a cartography of the hypertextual elements present in the chronotope of Asimov’s Foundation trilogy, as well as in its linking elements. It is tried to prove that its success can be partially explained by the huge presence of hypertextual relationships, mainly archetypal, that allow a reading at two levels. The superficial reading is satisfactory in itself, but it is the palimpsestic reading that discovers all the richness of his work, allowing a much greater enjoyment and showing the extraordinary humanistic culture of Asimov.

“#quéespoesía”: género y nuevas poéticas productivas en la era de las redes sociales. Las poéticas de Elvira Sastre, Irene X y Loreto Sesma
Authors: Logroño Carrascosa Isabel
Published: June 2019

En los últimos años, redes sociales como Twitter, Instagram y Youtube se han convertido en populares plataformas de publicación y de difusión de contenidos literarios para jóvenes autores. Tanto es así que no son pocas las editoriales que han visto la oportunidad de convertir en cifras de ventas las cifras de seguidores, revitalizando incluso géneros minoritarios como la poesía. Sin embargo, ¿estamos verdaderamente ante una “revitalización” del género poético clásico o de una construcción de nuevas poéticas productivas en red? Para ilustrar la polémica mercantil y literaria se ha seleccionado un corpus femenino de autoras, puesto que no pueden pasar desapercibidas las oportunidades de visibilización y ruptura de tópicos que ofrece el nuevo canal a la voz poética de la mujer. Over the last few years, social networks such as Twitter, Instagram and Youtube have become popular platforms for the publication and diffusion of literary content among young authors to such an extent that many publishing houses have appreciated the opportunity to convert the number of followers into sales. This is revitalizing minority genres such as poetry. One needs to question, though, whether we are seeing a revival of traditional classical poetry or the birth of a new “internet” genre. To illustrate this literary controversy and the resulting business issues, a corpus of female authors has been selected to demonstrate that these new opportunities for exposure, the breaking of stereotypes should not go unnoticed.
