San Indalecio: un patrón de Aragón en ciernes
Authors: Gómez Zorraquino José Ignacio
Published: May 2019

Hablamos de san Indalecio, uno de los siete varones apostólicos, como un posible patrón de Aragón porque el relato de su existencia seguía la estela de su maestro Santiago, el patrón de España. El discípulo del apóstol, como sus seis compañeros, figuraba como un destacado “imitador” de Cristo, un candidato idóneo para glorificar la historia local, regional y eclesiástica. A este escenario se subieron algunos escritores aragoneses como el doctor Vicencio Blasco de Lanuza y el abad don Juan Briz, entre otros, quienes mostraron posturas algo encontradas. Además, salieron a relucir los celos de Blasco de Lanuza hacia el abad Briz y, por añadidura, hacia el canónigo y cronista doctor Bartolomé Leonardo de Argensola (cronista de Aragón y de la Corona de Aragón).
Rhetorical Replay and the Challenge of Gamic History
Authors: Clyde Jerremie V. , Wilkinson Glenn R.
Published: May 2019

This chapter explores the limits of simulations for university-level historical education. The authors develop an alternative gamic mode more fit for purpose by focusing on epistemology and procedural rhetoric. This chapter will start by examining how history functions as a form of disciplinary knowledge and how this disciplinary way of knowing things is taught at the post-secondary level. The manner in which history is taught will be contrasted with its evaluation in order to better define what students are actually expected to learn. The simulation will be then examined in the light of learning goals and evaluation. This will demonstrate that simulations are in fact a poor fit for most post-secondary history courses. The more appropriate and effective choice is to construct the past via procedural rhetoric, using games that mirror the structure of the historical argument.
Entrepreneurial Orientation of Family Business
Authors: Faiz Emel , Uludag Gamze
Published: May 2019

Family businesses are considered as an important source of economic development and growth in that they create added value by providing new products, processes and technologies. Family businesses, where family values and perspectives dominate, have begun to experience problems in adapting to such a structure in the global economy, where the rate of change has increased, and the competition is intense. In the process of restructuring, entrepreneurial orientation is vital for these businesses. From this point of view, the aim of this chapter is to define family business, to explain their characteristics and to show the two perspectives on the entrepreneurial orientation of family businesses. The concept of “family entrepreneurship” and “transgenerational entrepreneurship” is also mentioned in the chapter. In relation to what is told in the chapter, how a conservative structure has been opened to the market by its third generation, a family business in Turkey that is going through its third generation and the innovations brought about by the new generation compose the case study.
An Analysis of Internationalization Theories and Behavior of Finnish Retail SMEs in Russia
Authors: Shahzad Faisal
Published: May 2019

The internationalization of large multinational retailers has been investigated and much intention has been given to their market entry mode choice and motives of internationalization. However, there is no enough research has been conducted to specifically describe the internationalization and market entry mode choice of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from retail industry. To cover the research gap, this chapter will describe the main theories of internationalization and then sheds light on motives, barriers, reasons, and mode of entry of Finnish retail SMEs in the Russian market. Data were collected through a mail survey questionnaire, and 145 usable responses were received. Findings, the implication of the study, and directions for future research are then discussed.
“Ridiculous and Untrue – FAKE NEWS!”
Authors: Grazulis Anna , Rogers Ryan
Published: May 2019

Beyond the spread of fake news, the term “fake news” has been used by people on social media and by people in the Trump administration to discredit reporting and show disagreement with the content of a story. This study offers a series of defining traits of fake news and a corresponding experiment testing its impact. Overall, this study shows that fake news, or at least labeling fake news can impact the gratifications people derive from news. Further, this study provides evidence that the impact of fake news might, in some cases, rely on whether or not the fake news complies with preexisting beliefs.
Social Media and the Challenges of Curtailing the Spread of Fake News in Nigeria
Authors: Assay Benjamin Enahoro
Published: May 2019

The rising trend of fake news on social media in Nigeria has raised serious concern about the survival of the country's fledgling democracy especially as the country prepares for the 2019 polls which is expected to usher in a new set of leaders. The federal government had in response to the menace which has reached an alarming proportion launched a campaign against fake news in July 2018 to raise awareness about the dangers fake news portends for the polity. While some applaud the government for the initiative, others lampoon the government for chasing shadows instead of addressing the root cause. This chapter therefore examines the issues, controversies and problems associated with the deadly scourge and proffer solutions to halt the growing menace of fake news in the country.
“Type Amen” or Perish!
Authors: Chimuanya Lily , Igwebuike Ebuka
Published: May 2019

This chapter examines religious discourse on Facebook and brings to the fore the recurrent deceptive requests that have given rise to new forms of religious extremism and radicalism. Many Christians have turned to social media as a medium where their faith can be practiced and with the intention of enforcing it on others. One major avenue through which this ensues is in the inherent ideological requests on Facebook where members are threatened to either type “Amen” or be afflicted with curses as punishment. These misleading requests usually attract instantaneous thousands of “likes” and consenting responses that depict underlying fear. An awareness of these extremist inclinations against the backdrop of religion is crucial to the understanding and interpretation of the semiotic realities within such Facebook posts.
Deception in Online Terrorist Propaganda
Authors: Chiluwa Innocent E.
Published: May 2019

This chapter examines the meaning, types, and practice of propaganda by two prominent terrorist groups, namely ISIS and Boko Haram, and how deception and deceptive communication form aspects of their propagandist tools. The chapter begins with the conceptual description and discussion of deception and propaganda and situate them in the research literature. It goes further to examine the impact of the internet in the enhancement and spread of terrorist propaganda by ISIS and Boko Haram; the reasons and various forms of propaganda and radicalization online are also examined. Some specific samples of terrorist propaganda by the two terrorist organizations are qualitatively analyzed using discourse analytical methodology. Studies in counter-propaganda appears to be the future research direction; although it has been argued that aggressive counter-narratives may be counterproductive, grievances expressed in terrorist propaganda should be addressed.
Teach to Teach the Language
Authors: Álvarez Carlos Fernando Dimeo
Published: May 2019

In Poland, the teachers that teach a second language frequently are philologists who do not have any didactic or pedagogical training. This issue initially exposes that teaching practices are part of individual experiences or even “self-taught” training. Significantly, of approximately 10 universities that teach Spanish as a foreign language, none in the curriculum has subjects dedicated to the methods and their didactic applications, forms of evaluation, etc. In this sense, the author analyzes different proposals of the theory of the curriculum in studies of philology and discusses why in Poland studies in a second language do not include these topics.
Considering Diversity in L2 Teacher Education
Authors: Dion Sheri K.
Published: May 2019

This chapter presents a discussion of how teacher candidates can develop an awareness of linguistic and cultural diversity and supports students of diverse backgrounds in second language (L2) teaching. Buoyed with a narrative inquiry involving 17 L2 teachers at one independent secondary school in the Northeastern United States, Geneva Gay's culturally responsive teaching is recast, integrating cultural, racial, and ethnic diversity in L2 curricula. Although many teacher participants reported incorporating student background as a resource in informal ways, few teachers (3 of 17) reported formally integrating activities into L2 curricula that supported students in this way. This finding suggests that knowledge of the relevance of student diversity as a resource may also be underrepresented in L2 practices, and implications for L2 teaching and teacher candidates are discussed. Following this examination, the chapter offers a guiding activity that teacher candidates can develop to explore diversity and inform teaching practices.

Authors: Annamalai Suresh , Udendhran R.  , Vimal S.
Published: May 2019

The concept of predictive analysis plays complex information retrieval and categorization systems are needed to process queries, filter, and store, and organize huge amount of data, which are mainly composed of texts. As soon as datasets becomes large, most information combines with algorithms that might not perform well. Moreover, prediction is important in today's industrial purposes since that could reduce the issues of heavy asset loss towards the organization. The purpose of prediction is necessary in every field since it could help us to stop the cause of occurring the error before any vulnerable activities could happen. Predictive maintenance is a method that consumes the direct monitoring of mechanical condition of plant equipment to decide the actual mean time to malfunction for each preferred machine. The authors try to estimate the fault that could occur in the machines and decide the time that could cause a critical situation. This prediction should be done effectively, and for this purpose, they have stepped into the concept of machine learning.

Published: May 2019

It is very relevant in today's competitive world for suppliers to ensure that customer-demanded products are made available. Customers expect to obtain a product that has benefits and are available within an acceptable price and time. It is necessary for companies to optimally use their ability to satisfy customers' specified needs. Researchers and industries are working on developing green supply chain concept in the last few years due to environmental concerns. The objective of this chapter is to propose a three-echelon supply chain model that optimizes economic and environmental objectives simultaneously. The objectives considered are minimizing the total supply chain cost and minimizing CO2 emission of the supply chain network. The proposed model falls into NP-hard category. Multi-objective genetic algorithm is proposed to solve the proposed model and illustration is provided to explain the use of the proposed model. A procedure that could be followed to find the best possible solution based on user's choice among the Pareto front solutions is also explained.

Authors: Tantau Adrian , Maassen Maria Alexandra
Published: May 2019

This chapter is dedicated to business models for green retrofitting on a more holistic approach that enables to think and integrate the economic, social and environmental perspective in a business model. The chapter is a result of research regarding new business models for green retrofitting and presents a framework for developing business models for green retrofitting in the building sector based on the Triple-Layer Business Model Canvas. The business models for green retrofitting could be an important instrument for introducing new green characteristics such as energy efficiency, optimal energy performance, and new comfort standards in the building environment. Green retrofitting is responding to the dynamics of the economic and technological development, and to the new lifestyle of the peoples. The implementation of such a model will be also a catalyst for reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases in the building environment.

In this regard, within the urban planning and geodesign fields, practitioners, urban planners, developers, designers, and scientists started using GIS as a tool to digitalize and analyze reality. Hence, in this research, besides an introduction to GIS-based modelling and geodesign, the authors analyze an example of the “Filder” area in Stuttgart city based on a set of pre-identified parameters. This case study demonstrates how GIS can be used to avoid the employment of complex methods and tools.
Towards City Information Modeling
Authors: Alashi Abdalrahman T. Y. , Koramaz Turgay Kerem
Published: May 2019

In the past two decades, building information modeling (BIM) has been widely adopted by architectural, engineering, and construction firms. Its technology is based on the integration and coordination of different disciplines and professions. It involves creating three-dimensional models containing data that can be organized and manipulated to serve design, construction, and operational phases. This raises the debate over how the existence of a platform that enables urban planners and decision makers of different disciplines is so crucial. Several research studies have recently been done to integrate BIM with geographic information systems (GIS) for numerous purposes, as illustrated by several case studies. This chapter comparatively analyzes different cases, given general acknowledgment of each. Problems and potentials of the existence of such integration will be defined, in order to estimate the need for such a platform. Finally, a model of integration between different disciplines was illustrated as a motivation for further studies in the future concerning this topic.
Space Syntax Theory and Its Contribution to Urban Design
Authors: Refaat Ahmed M.
Published: May 2019

This chapter presents the theory of space syntax and its contributions to urban design. The theory, introduced in 1984 by Hillier and Hanson, refers to a set of principles and techniques to investigate and reveal the characteristics of urban settlements via concrete measures. In this regard, the current chapter is divided into several sections. The first section demonstrates the space syntax theory at both conceptual and methodological levels. In the second section, the measures of connectivity, integration, choice, and intelligibility are discussed, and linked to the traditional urban values such as accessibility and legibility the traditional urban values. In the third section, types of space syntax analysis are discussed, in addition to their importance and their application potentials. This chapter demonstrates the contributions of space syntax theory to urban design and architecture. This finding provides a potential mechanism for explaining how the theory succeeded in presenting numerical and concrete measures to reveal what have been intangible values of urban settlements such as legibility and accessibility.

Decision Support in Participatory Contexts
Authors: Chabane Mazri , Tsoukias Alexis , Daniell Katherine A
Published: May 2019

Organizing the participation of multiple stakeholders in decision processes is now a widespread request with a visible consequence being the expansion of the analyst's role from problem solver to facilitator of stakeholder interactions. Within this evolutionary movement, this article claims that an analyst creates the organisation through which the set of stakeholders involved in the decision process interact. This article also claims that the ability of this organisation to fit contextual requirements is of utmost importance for the success of an analyst's intervention. This article is organised to support these two claims. Firstly, it describes the terms of organisational design and the mechanisms through which it may influence the decision processes. Secondly, the authors review how these aspects are already discussed within OR/MS literature so as to highlight current limitations and future possibilities for greater investigation of the place and role of organizational design in OR/MS research and practice.

Guiding Informed Choices on Participation Tools in Spatial Planning
Authors: Somarakis Giorgos , Stratigea Anastasia
Published: May 2019

Participatory Planning (PP), as a streamline approach in coping with sustainability concerns, is nowadays largely acknowledged in research and policy makers' community as a ‘bridge' between decision-making processes and society. Its implementation implies substantial preparation, ending up with certain choices on participation tools, relevant for use at the different stages of the planning process. However, lack of planners' deep insight into such tools leads them to either follow well established traditional planning paths, discouraged by a possible failure of participatory attempts; or join PP processes that lead to unsuccessful planning outcomes and frustrating participation results. The contribution of this article lies on increasing capacity of planners towards more informed PP tools' selection by: providing an exhaustive list/explanation of factors affecting such choices in each single PP context; and sketching the architecture/functioning of an e-Decision Support System (e-DSS) as a tool supporting planners towards the design of more effective PP processes.

Building maintenance is gaining increased attention in the various fields of scientific research, Building information modelling (BIM) is used in the maintenance management and has helped facility management to handle a large volume of maintenance information, including drawings, specifications, lists and reports. BIM proved its effectiveness as a repository for various types of data in buildings maintenance and a tool to support decision making in maintenance. stepping the best decision at the facility is not only based on quantitative data but also on the knowledge and experience acquired by the company and the employees. this experience may be lost forever due to resignation and retirement if they are not documented. In this research work the authors provide a methodology for obtaining knowledge while performing maintenance of public buildings using BIM and DYNAMO applications, where parametric models provide us with a high-central frame for storing information and by adopting of visual programming, which provides great capabilities for processing, extraction, classification and the export of data from the BIM model to organize the knowledge management process extensively. This serves to facilitate decision-making through the BIM dependent knowledge base which helps to obtain and re-use of generated knowledge.

An Empirical Study on the Intention to Use Open Banking in India
Authors: Sivathanu Brijesh
Published: May 2019

This article examines the use intention of open banking technology in the context of an emerging economy like India using the theoretical framework of Technology Readiness and Acceptance Model (TRAM). To study the use intention for open banking in India, a primary survey was conducted among 945 customers using a structured questionnaire. The PLS-SEM technique was used to analyze the data. Findings – The results show that Optimism (OPM) contributes positively to the Perceived Ease of Use (PES) and Perceived Usefulness (PUF) of the open banking technology. Innovativeness (INO) of the customers is a significant predictor of PES and PUF. It was found that Discomfort (DCF) negatively contributes to PES and PUF; however, it significantly influences PES and has no significant influence on PUF. Insecurity (INT) is negatively significant to PUF and it has no significant influence on PES. It is observed that PES positively contributes to PUF. The results show that PES and PUF are significant predictors of Perceived Customer Value (PCV). PCVs contribution to the Use Intention (UNT) is significantly positive for open banking technology. The stickiness to traditional banking moderates the relationship between PCV and UNT for open banking.
Map-Side Join Processing of SPARQL Queries Based on Abstract RDF Data Filtering
Authors: Song Minjae , Oh Hyunsuk , Seo Seungmin , Lee Kyong-Ho
Published: May 2019

The amount of RDF data being published on the Web is increasing at a massive rate. MapReduce-based distributed frameworks have become the general trend in processing SPARQL queries against RDF data. Currently, query processing systems that use MapReduce have not been able to keep up with the increase of semantic annotated data, resulting in non-interactive SPARQL query processing. The principal reason is that intermediate query results from join operations in a MapReduce framework are so massive that they consume all available network bandwidth. In this article, the authors present an efficient SPARQL processing system that uses MapReduce and HBase. The system runs a job optimized query plan using their proposed abstract RDF data to decrease the number of jobs and also decrease the amount of input data. The authors also present an efficient algorithm of using Map-side joins while also using the abstract RDF data to filter out unneeded RDF data. Experimental results show that the proposed approach demonstrates better performance when processing queries with a large amount of input data than those found in previous works.
A Perceptual Framework for Conservative Treatment and Rehabilitation of Ankle Sprains: An Evidence-Based Paradigm Shift
Authors: McKeon Patrick O. , Donovan Luke
Published: May 2019

Lateral ankle sprains are the most common injuries sustained during physical activity. The epidemiologic trends associated with chronic ankle instability (CAI) suggest that current rehabilitation approaches may be inadequate. We sought to synthesize best-practices evidence for the rehabilitation of patients with acute ankle sprains and CAI through the integration of emerging paradigms in perception, the dynamics of skill acquisition, and the biopsychosocial model of function, disability, and health. From the best available evidence, 4 key factors emerged for effective treatment and rehabilitation strategies: pain reduction, external ankle support for up to 1 year, progressive return to motion, and coordination training. We combined these factors into a meta-theoretical framework that centers on the perceptual interdependence of the cellular, local, and global functioning levels by linking insights from the body-self neuromatrix, the dynamics of skill acquisition, and the biopsychosocial model. Based on the best-practice recommendations from systematic reviews, ankle-sprain rehabilitation represents a multidimensional phenomenon governed by perception. The impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions associated with CAI may be linked to perceptual-interdependence alterations. Pain and edema reduction, the use of external ankle support for up to 1 year, progressive return to motion, and coordination training foster enhanced perceptual interdependence from cells to society. Using the perceptual-interdependence framework for ankle-sprain rehabilitation, we offer new insights for charting the course of effective strategies for enhancing function, reducing disability, and preventing the long-term sequelae associated with CAI.
Revisiting the relationship between economic growth and inclusive development
Authors: Wong Muk-Yan
Published: May 2019

In Hong Kong, which is one of the highest GDP per capita cities in the world, the problem of poverty, particularly the housing of the poor, has been exacerbated as economic development has progressed. The received neocapitalistic view is that such poverty is an inevitable price for the economic growth which will eventually benefit everyone. In this essay, I criticize such view by examining how non-inclusive economic development in the past created barriers to inclusive economic development today. Through a comprehensive analysis of the housing problem in Hong Kong, I argue that these barriers, including not only physical constraints such as ownership and the lease of lands, housing prices and public housing policies, but also an ideological constraint adopted and advocated by the rich that regards poverty as a consequence of personal laziness and stupidity rather than a failure of the government, render the promise of the neo-capitalistic equality between rich and poor very difficult if not impossible to attain. I conclude that real equality can be attained only if we regard inclusive development as a necessary component of development from the beginning rather than a remedy for noninclusive development. Keywords: Economic Growth, Inclusive Development, Hong Kong, Housing Problem.

The colonial reverberations of livraria do Globo translations in 1930s Brazil
Authors: Hanes Vanessa Lopes Lourenço
Published: May 2019

Este artigo investiga o começo do Brasil pós-colonial sob a ótica de uma de suas editoras mais proeminentes, a Livraria do Globo, procurando definir as ligações entre a tradução literária e o poder colonial supostamente em retrocesso. Em uma análise de nove traduções de textos originários de língua inglesa lançadas por aquela editora na década de 1930, o que inicialmente parecia fazer pouco sentido em termos de coerência de política editorial na verdade acabou por evidenciar uma influência colonial ainda bastante presente. França, Portugal e Inglaterra pareciam travar um embate nas páginas desses livros, ao mesmo tempo em que nelas também se viam os primeiros desdobramentos do nacionalismo brasileiro e da sistematização do português brasileiro.
Interactive open access to climate observations from Germany
Authors: Kaspar Frank , Kratzenstein Frank , Kaiser-Weiss Andrea K.
Published: May 2019

Abstract. During recent years, Germany's national meteorological service (Deutscher
Wetterdienst, DWD) has significantly expanded the open access to its climate
observations. A first step was a simple FTP-site with the possibility for
downloading archives with various categories of data, e.g. national and
international station-based meteorological data, derived parameters, gridded
products and special categories as e.g. phenological data. The data are based
on the observing systems of DWD for Germany as well as international
activities of DWD. To improve the interactive and user-friendly access to the
data, a new portal has been developed. The portal serves a variety of user
requirements that result from the broad range of applications of DWD's
climate data. Here we provide an overview of the new climate data portal of
DWD. It is based on a systematic implementation of OGC-based technologies. It
allows easy graphical access to the station data, but also supports access
via technical interfaces, esp. Web-Map- and Web-Feature-Services.
Reconstructed natural runoff helps to quantify the relationship between upstream water use and downstream water scarcity in China's river basins
Authors: Zhou Xinyao , Yang Yonghui , Sheng Zhuping , Zhang Yongqiang
Published: May 2019

Abstract. The increasing conflicts for water resources between
upstream and downstream regions appeal to chronological insight across the
world. While the negative consequence of downstream water scarcity has been
widely analyzed, the quantification of influence of upstream water use on
downstream water scarcity has received little attention. Here
non-anthropologically intervened runoff (natural runoff) was first
reconstructed in upstream, middle stream and downstream regions in China's
12 large basins in the 1970s to 2000s time period using the Fu–Budyko
framework, and then compared to the observed data to obtain the
developmental trajectories of water scarcity, including the ratio of water use to availability (WTA) and the per capita water availability (FI; Falkenmark Index) on a decadal scale.
Furthermore, a contribution analysis was used to investigate the main
drivers of water scarcity trajectories in those basins. The results show
that China as a whole has experienced a rapid increase of WTA stress with
surface water use rapidly increasing from 161 billion cubic meters (12 % of
natural runoff) in the 1970s to 256 billion cubic meters (18 %) in the 2000s,
with approximately 65 % increase occurring in northern China. In the 2000s, the
increase of upstream WTA stress and the decrease of downstream WTA stress
occurred simultaneously for semi-arid and arid basins, which was caused by
the increasing upstream water use and the consequent decreasing surface
water use in downstream regions. The influence of upstream surface water use
on downstream water scarcity was less than 10 % in both WTA and FI for
humid and semi-humid basins during the study period, but with an average of
26 % in WTA and 32 % in FI for semi-arid and arid basins. The ratio
increased from 10 % in the 1970s to 37 % in the 2000s for WTA and from
22 % in the 1980s to 37 % in the 2000s for FI. The contribution analysis shows
that the WTA contribution greatly increases in the 2000s mainly in humid and
semi-humid basins, while it decreases mainly in semi-arid and arid basins. The
trajectories of China's water scarcity are closely related to socioeconomic
development and water policy changes, which provide valuable lessons and
experiences for global water resources management.
Impacts of Three Gorges Dam's operation on spatial–temporal patterns of tide–river dynamics in the Yangtze River estuary, China
Authors: Cai Huayang , Zhang Xianyi , Zhang Min , Guo Leicheng , Liu Feng , Yang Qingshu
Published: May 2019

Abstract. The Three Gorges Dam (TGD), located in the main stream of the Yangtze River,
is the world's largest hydroelectric station in terms of installed power
capacity. It was demonstrated that the TGD had caused considerable
modifications in the downstream freshwater discharge due to its seasonal
operation mode of multiple utilisation for flood control, irrigation, and
power generation. To understand the impacts of the freshwater regulation of
the TGD, an analytical model is adopted to explore how the operation of the
TGD may affect the spatial–temporal patterns of tide–river dynamics in the
Yangtze River estuary. We evaluated the effect of the TGD by comparing the
changes in major tide–river dynamics in the post-TGD period (2003–2014)
with those in the pre-TGD period (1979–1984). The results indicate that the
strongest impacts occurred during the autumn and winter, corresponding to a
substantial reduction in freshwater discharge during the wet-to-dry
transition period and slightly increased discharge during the dry season. The
underlying mechanism leading to changes in the tide–river dynamics lies in
the alteration of freshwater discharge, while the impact of geometric change
is minimal. Overall, the results suggest that the spatial–temporal pattern
of tide–river dynamics is sensitive to the freshwater regulation of the TGD,
so that the ecosystem function of the estuary may undergo profound
disturbances. The results obtained from this study can be used to set
scientific guidelines for water resource management (e.g. navigation, flood
control, salt intrusion) in dam-controlled estuarine systems.
An efficient surface energy–mass balance model for snow and ice

Abstract. A comprehensive understanding of the state and dynamics of the land
cryosphere and associated sea level rise is not possible without taking into
consideration the intrinsic timescales of the continental ice sheets. At the
same time, the ice sheet mass balance is the result of seasonal variations in
the meteorological conditions. Simulations of the coupled climate–ice-sheet
system thus face the dilemma of skillfully resolving short-lived phenomena,
while also being computationally fast enough to run over tens of thousands of
years. As a possible solution, we present the BErgen Snow SImulator (BESSI), a surface energy and mass balance
model that achieves computational efficiency while simulating all surface and
internal fluxes of heat and mass explicitly, based on physical first
principles. In its current configuration it covers most land areas of the
Northern Hemisphere. Input data are daily values of surface air temperature,
total precipitation, and shortwave radiation. The model is calibrated using
present-day observations of Greenland firn temperature, cumulative Greenland
mass changes, and monthly snow extent over the entire domain. The results of
the calibrated simulations are then discussed. Finally, as a first
application of the model and to illustrate its numerical efficiency, we
present the results of a large ensemble of simulations to assess the model's
sensitivity to variations in temperature and precipitation.

As a result of collections made during the years 2009-2017, the number of Cladoniaceae species is enlarged to 27 species, providing fifteen new records to Albanian Cladonia. The distribution of many of the previously mentioned taxa is extended and the chemical variability for many of the species is discussed. Cladonia borealis, C. caespiticia, C. cervicornis, C. coccifera, C. conista, C. cryptochlorophaea, C. cyathomorpha, C. humilis, C. merochlorophaea,C. parasitica, C. peziziformis, C. polycarpoides, C. ramulosa, C. rei and C. subulata are new for Albania.
Discursos y representaciones locales sobre la patrimonialización del flamenco en Andalucía, un proceso multinivel
Authors: Periáñez Bolaño Iván
Published: May 2019

La consideración del –arte– flamenco como un hecho social total, no solo subraya las singularidades de procesos y grupos subalternizados localizados en Andalucía, sino que se encuentra hoy relacionada con las lógicas hegemónicas del neoliberalismo y la mercantilización de las manifestaciones étnicas transformadas en productos para la industria cultural. Las políticas culturales andaluzas de patrimonialización sobre el flamenco, así como su inclusión en la Lista Representativa del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la UNESCO (2010), están reconfigurando tanto las formas expresivas, de sociabilidad, aprendizaje y transmisión autóctonas, como su promoción, difusión y circulación fuera de sus contextos, dinámicas y significados vernáculos. Atendiendo a estos procesos, este artículo analiza los discursos de los agentes locales para mostrar cómo se están construyendo en la posmodernidad las representaciones sobre el flamenco, en relación con las políticas e industrias culturales a nivel local y global, y sus repercusiones en el mercado laboral para los artistas.
“Porque nos daba bronca”. Las emociones en la producción de la acción política de niños/as en una casa tomada
Authors: Nurit Shabel Paula
Published: May 2019

El pensamiento moderno se ha configurado en dicotomías como adultez/infancia y pensar/sentir, que se sintetizan en una división permanente entre lo racional y lo irracional desde donde se ha analizado la acción humana. Sin embargo, la antropología ha desarrollado diversas líneas de trabajo que problematizan estos esquemas aportando otras miradas sobre la niñez y sobre la movilización política. En este mismo sentido, y a partir de un extenso estudio etnográfico, nos proponemos analizar los modos en los que los/as niños/as de entre 8 y 15 años que viven en una casa tomada de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires producen acciones políticas colectivas enraizadas en sus emociones compartidas.
Recomplementation in English and Spanish: Delineating the CP space
Authors: Villa-García Julio
Published: May 2019

The paper aims to provide a characterization of the colloquial phenomenon of recomplementation (i.e., that1/que1 – XP[dislocated] – that2/que2 constructions) in both contemporary English and Spanish from a comparative perspective. I draw a systematic comparison between that2 and que2 and present a host of similarities in terms of the syntactic behavior and distribution of secondary complementizers in the two languages. Thus, I argue for a unified analysis of recomplementation in English and Spanish within Rizzi’s (1997 et seq.) split-CP hypothesis wherein the flanked dislocate occupies the specifier of TopicP, whose head is spelled out as that2/que2. I therefore show that the structures of the peripheries of English and Spanish are not as different as they may appear to be at first sight. I also note several asymmetries between the two languages in terms of the interaction between recomplementation patterns and other constructions, and submit that these differences can be ascribed to independent factors: they are due to lexico-semantic and syntactic differences displayed by the two languages, but not to a different underlying left-peripheral architecture. The paper also investigates the reason(s) why secondary thats/ques are lexically realized and argues for the polyvalent nature of such iterative complementizers. I further propose that one of their functions is to mark discourse. The findings reported here also have far-reaching consequences for the contentious derivation of preposed topical phrases in the syntax of English and Spanish (including adjunct clauses), as well as ramifications to other existing debates.

A espinheira-santa é uma planta com folhas utilizadas na prevenção e tratamento de gastrites e úlceras gástricas. Suas sementes perdem a viabilidade rapidamente e a propagação vegetativa por estacas oriundas de plantas adultas é difícil de ser obtida. O trabalho objetivou avaliar a germinação in vitro e o enraizamento ex vitro de miniestacas caulinares de espinheira-santa submetidas ao Ácido Indolilacético (AIA). Sementes obtidas de frutos maduros recém-colhidos foram inoculadas em meio de cultura MS (Murashige e Skoog) com metade da concentração dos seus macronutrientes e cultivadas em fotoperíodo de 16 h a 24 ± 2°C. A unidade experimental constituiu-se de um vidro com 10 sementes e 25 repetições. Após 75 dias, miniestacas obtidas da germinação in vitro, foram seccionadas e suas bases imersas em AIA (1000 e 2000 mg L-1), acondicionadas em frascos com substrato comercial. Empregou-se o delineamento inteiramente casualizado e a unidade experimental consistiu de um frasco com três estacas e quatro repetições. O percentual de germinação após 45 dias foi 62,8% e as miniestacas responderam à imersão em ambas as concentrações de AIA, com 100% de sobrevivência. Após 45 dias, maior percentagem de enraizamento (75,02%), número médio de raízes (1,92) e comprimento médio das raízes (1,31 cm) foi obtido com o tratamento das miniestacas com 1000 mg L-1 de AIA. Os resultados obtidos indicam que é possível otimizar a produção de mudas de espinheira-santa, com redução no tempo e custos de produção realizando a germinação in vitro das sementes e enraizamento ex vitro de miniestacas com AIA.
