Wilayah perairan laut Indonesia yang sering dijadikan sebagai rute pelayaran yang efisien oleh kapal-kapal (lokal dan asing) untuk melintas dan merupakan daerah tangkapan ikan yang melimpah telah menimbulkan kerentanan sejumlah pelanggaran di laut. Sehubungan dengan hal ini, telah terbukti bahwa pada akhir-akhir ini pun tidak sedikit terjadi peristiwa tersebut di wilayah perairan laut Indonesia. Peristiwa-peristiwa ini kebanyakan berhubungan dengan katagori illegal fishing, perompakan/pembajakan, dan pelanggaran-pelanggaran lainnya di laut. Dengan memanfaatkan data AIS dapat dilakukan penelitian yang bersifat analisis-deskriptif, mencari atau menganalisa fakta-fakta dan kemudian mendapatkan gambaran atau deskripsi yang tepat; yaitu menganalisis data AIS yang dapat dispasialkan berupa History track dan informasi informasi lain tentang kapal yang kemudian disajikan dalam perangkat layar monitor atau dicetak sebagai peta tematik untuk memudahkan analisis dan pengambilan keputusan. Dari hasil analisa didapatkan Sebagian besar atau sebesar 61.36 % Kapal-kapal yang terdeteksi sebagai kapal terperiksa berjenis kapal kargo, dan pada rentang waktu 3(tiga) bulan (Januari-Maret 2016), telah terjadi peningkatan anomali kapal (kejadian)  sebesar 59.09 % terutama pada bulan maret 2016.

Published: June 2020

Pembangunan dermaga Pondokdayung dengan struktur pemecah gelombangnya memiliki pengaruh terhadap pola arus yang terjadi di pintu masuk dermaga tersebut. Pola arus yang terjadi ditambah pola angin pada area tersebut akan mempengaruhi olah gerak kapal yang melintas masuk ke dalam dermaga.

Dalam penelitian ini disimulasikan melalui perangkat lunak pemodelan numerik ADCIRC 2DDI dengan antar muka program SMS 9.1, pembangunan pangkalan TNI AL Pondokdayung telah selesai dibangun lengkap dengan struktur pemecah gelombangnya. Pada titik tepat di depan pintu masuk dermaga diunduh data kecepatan dan arah arus selama 1 bulan. Data tersebut beserta data angin hasil survei  Dishidros 2009, dimasukkan ke dalam rumusan untuk menghitung gaya arus dan gaya angin yang diterima kapal.

Hasil simulasi dan penghitungan gaya angin dan gaya arus menunjukkan angin memiliki pengaruh lebih dominan dibandingkan dengan arus terhadap olah gerak kapal di pintu masuk dermaga. Besar pengaruh itu ditentukan oleh beberapa faktor, antara lain: kecepatan, sudut datang terhadap badan kapal dan luasan penampang kapal yang tertiup angin.

Group 1 was the negative control group administered distilled water. Groups 2, 3, and 4 were the treatment groups received 200, 400 and 800 mg/kg body weight of the A. indica extract respectively. The rats were dosed for 14 days, thereafter were sacrificed and blood collected by cardiac puncture for analysis. The effect of A. indica extract was checked on haematological parameters and serum enzymes activities. All results in treatment groups were compared with the normal control at statistical confidence of 95% (p<0.05). There was progressive reduction of haematological parameters as the dose of the extract increased from 200, 400, to 800 mg/kg body weight. Haematological parameters, PCV, RBC, Haemoglobin showed decrease value which was not statistically significant at (p<0.05). Total leukocyte count, showed progressively elevation by the extract though not statistically significant. Differential leukocyte count indicated very mild lymphocytosis neutropeania, monocytopeania and eosinopeania which were not statistically significant. Clinical biochemical parameters, A. indica extract demonstrated normal levels of the serum enzymes (AST, ALT and ALP) though there was slight decrease in a dose dependent fashion.Total protein was within normal range. The normal MCV, MCH and MCHC values suggests normocytic normochromic anaemic condition. The extract of A. indica is safe to blood cells, liver and kidney marker enzymes at dose < 800 mg/kg body weight.

Authors: EMİROĞLU Oya Nuran , ÖZTÜRK ÇOPUR Ebru , KURU ALICI Nilgün
Published: June 2020

This study was
carried out as a descriptive study aiming to analyze the violence incidents
towards health care workers. For this purpose in the period of 2012-2016 news
about violence events published on the health care workers website (http://www.saglikcalisanisagligi.org/siddet)
were analyzed. 597 articles were included in the study. Descriptive statistics
were used in the analysis of the data and permission was taken from the
website’s management to carry out the work.

According to the
results of this study violence incidents took place most frequently in the
Marmara region (26%), at state hospitals (53.5%) and in emergency services (34.5%).
It was determined in the study that doctors experienced violence more (62%),
most frequent form of violence was verbal (48%), people using violence were
mostly relatives of the patients, and the most frequent reasons shown for
violence were loss of patient, lack of information, waiting in line for a long
time, being unable to receive service, unruly behavior and arguments.
Considering the information regarding the results of cases of violence in the news,
no results were seen to be reflected in the press by 59.7%

The aim
of this study is to know the situations about causing violence and to reveal the
importance of creating preventive strategies to eliminate these causes in
medical institutions. In the light of these results, it has been revealed that the
news of violence against health care workers were written carelessly, lacking details
and they were structured in a hostile style.

¿Qué medios para qué política y qué democracia?
Authors: Guinsberg Enrique
Published: June 2020

Con base en el actual manejo mediático se analiza y discute el tema indicado en el título, considerándose que la idea de política y de democracia que utilizan y a la que responden es casi exclusivamente la formal y electoral de las mismas, en consonancia con la ideología del poder hoy hegemónico, muy diferentes a otra forma de entendimiento de ellas. Luego de verse una serie de aspectos que dificultan o impiden que los actuales medios actúen a favor del  fortalecimiento democrático su cada vez mayor concentración, la priorización de formas de espectáculo, la mercadotecnia política y, en algunos casos, el sistemático ataque a gobiernos elegidos democráticamente, se plantean algunas observaciones de teóricos políticos y comunicológicos críticos en torno al papel de los medios para la democracia.

Ropa y moda.
Authors: Martínez Alma
Published: June 2020

El uso de la ropa de moda es una práctica cultural que es utilizada para distinguir grupos y clases sociales. Dentro de esta práctica, existen grupos que realizan un proceso reflexivo sobre la importancia de ello. Este estudio empírico se enfoca a uno de esos grupos sociales: las mujeres jóvenes de clase alta. ¿Por qué se elige ropa de moda para usarse?, ¿qué desean transmitir las mujeres de la clase alta (/B) con la ropa que usan? y ¿existe independencia en el uso de esta ropa?, son las preguntas clave que dan pauta a la comprensión y análisis de este sector de la población. Mediante entrevistas a mujeres de dos diferentes regiones culturales; Monterrey y Veracruz, se llega al establecimiento de que la ropa de moda es usada por toda la carga simbólica que conlleva, al reflejar una imagen mental que permite reafirmar que a través de las prendas usadas se comunican mensajes que son captados socialmente. La moda es una práctica cultural llena de paradojas que guarda dentro de sí cuestiones personales que enriquecen el conocimiento, al ser un proceso donde confluyen reflexiones y emociones que son transmitidas constantemente mediante la ropa..

Critical Balance and the Physics of Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
Authors: Oughton S. , Matthaeus W. H.
Published: June 2020

A discussion of the advantages and limitations of the concept of critical balance (CB), as employed in turbulence phenomenologies, is presented. The incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) case is a particular focus. The discussion emphasizes the status of the original Goldreich & Sridhar CB conjecture relative to related theoretical issues and models in an MHD description of plasma turbulence. Issues examined include variance and spectral anisotropy, influence of a mean magnetic field, local and nonlocal effects, and the potential for effects of external driving. Related models such as Reduced MHD provide a valuable context in the considerations. Some new results concerning spectral features and timescales are presented in the course of the discussion. Also mentioned briefly are some adaptations and variations of CB.
Delay-time Distributions of Solar Energetic Particles. II. Effects of Magnetic Focusing
Authors: Bian N. H. , Emslie A. Gordon
Published: June 2020

We extend a recently published analytic model for the intensity–time profile of solar energetic particle (SEP) events, in which the dominant physical mechanism is turbulent pitch-angle scattering of a collimated distribution of particles accelerated at the Sun. The present model includes the effect of magnetic focusing in the expanding magnetic field geometry of the inner heliosphere. For a power-law variation of the magnetic field strength with distance (B ∼ s
−α
) that lacks a characteristic focusing length scale, the fundamental shape of the intensity–time profile (i.e., a Lévy distribution at times up to and just past the time of peak intensity, followed by an exponential decay) is preserved. The effect of magnetic focusing is essentially to produce a rescaling of the stochastic process describing the angular diffusion of the particles, making the typical time that characterizes the SEP time profile quantitatively lower by a factor of (α + 1), 3 for the radial field geometry B ∼ s
−2.
Detection of Small Flares from the Crab Nebula with Fermi-LAT
Authors: Arakawa Masanori , Hayashida Masaaki , Khangulyan Dmitry , Uchiyama Yasunobu
Published: June 2020

Gamma radiation from the Crab pulsar wind nebula (PWN) shows significant variability at ∼100 MeV energies, recently revealed with spaceborne gamma-ray telescopes. Here we report the results of a systematic search for gamma-ray flares using a 7.4 yr data set acquired with the Fermi Large Area Telescope. Analyzing the off-pulse phases of the Crab pulsar, we found seven previously unreported low-intensity flares (“small flares”). The “small flares” originate from the variable synchrotron component of the Crab PWN and show clearly different features from the steady component of the Crab PWN emission. They are characterized by larger fluxes and harder photon indices, similar to previously reported flares. These flares show day-scale time variability and imply a strong magnetic field of B
min ≈ 1 mG at the site of the gamma-ray production. This result seems to be inconsistent with the typical values revealed with modeling of the nonthermal emission from the nebula. The detection of the “small flares” gives a hint of production of gamma-rays above 100 MeV in a part of the nebula with properties that are different from the main emitters, e.g., due to bulk relativistic motion.
Near- and Mid-infrared Observations in the Inner Tenth of a Parsec of the Galactic Center Detection of Proper Motion of a Filament Very Close to Sgr A*
Authors: Peißker Florian , Eckart Andreas , Sabha Nadeen B. , Zajaček Michal , Bhat Harshitha
Published: June 2020

We analyze the gas and dust emission in the immediate vicinity of the supermassive black hole Sgr A* at the Galactic center (GC) with the ESO Very Large Telescope (Paranal/Chile) instruments SINFONI and VISIR. The SINFONI H+K data cubes show several emission lines with related line map counterparts. From these lines, the Brγ emission is the most prominent one and appears to be shaped as a bar extending along the north–south direction. With VISIR, we find a dusty counterpart to this filamentary emission. In this work, we present evidence that this feature could most be likely connected to the minispiral and potentially influenced by the winds of the massive stars in the central cluster or an accretion wind from Sgr A*. To this end, we coadd the SINFONI data between 2005 and 2015. The spectroscopic analysis reveals a range of Doppler-shifted emission lines. We also detect substructures in the shape of clumps that can be investigated in the channel maps of the Brγ bar. In addition, we compare the detection of the near-infrared Brγ feature to PAH1 mid-infrared observations and published 226 GHz radio data. These clumps show a proper motion of about 320 km s−1 that are consistent with other infrared continuum–detected filaments in the GC. Deriving a mass of

for the investigated Brγ feature shows an agreement with former derived masses for similar objects. Besides the north–south Brγ bar, we find a comparable additional east–west feature. Also, we identify several gas reservoirs that are located west of Sgr A* that may harbor dusty objects.
Radiation Hydrodynamics Models of Active Galactic Nuclei: Beyond the Central Parsec
Authors: Williamson David , Hönig Sebastian , Venanzi Marta
Published: June 2020

We produce radiation hydrodynamics models of an active galactic nucleus torus plus outflow on 1–100 pc scales. This large scale permits direct comparison with observations, provides justification for configurations used in radiation transfer models, and tests the sensitivity of results of smaller scale dynamical models. We find that anisotropic radiation from an active galactic nucleus accretion disk can cause an outflow to evolve to become more polar, agreeing with the ubiquity of polar extended mid-infrared emission, and the general geometry predicted by radiative transfer models. We also find that the velocity maps can reproduce many features of observations, including apparent counterrotation.
Higher Order Aberrations (HOA) Changes after Femto-LASIK in Topography and Wavefrontguided Treatments
Authors: Taskov Georgi , Taskov Todor
Published: June 2020

Background: Publications have focused on comparing the effect of various methods of refractive surgery or ablation profiles on higher order aberrations (HOA), yet the effect of WG compared to TG ablation in femtosecond laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis femto-LASIK on HOAs has not been studied adequately.

Materials and methods: We reviewed the changes of HOAs before and after femto-LASIK for simple myopia or compound myopic astigmatism after topography-guided (TG) and wavefront-guided (WG) ablation profiles. In this retrospective study, 42 eyes underwent TG and 31 WG femto-LASIK.

Results: The total HOAs increased from 0.41±0.16 μm pre-operatively to 0.66±0.30 μm post-operatively in the TG group and from 0.42±0.13 μm pre-operatively to 0.59±0.27 μm post-operatively in the WG group without statistically significant difference between the two groups. However, the postoperative change of secondary astigmatism showed a statistically significant difference between the two groups [0.20 (0.0-0.53) vs. 0.0 (0.0-0.20) for TG and WG groups, respectively; p=0.009].

Conclusions: The total HOAs increased compared to pre-operative data, in both the TG and WG ablation profile groups. The extent of increase of secondary astigmatism was significantly lower in the WG group, which might favour the postoperative quality of vision.
Experimental Model of Subclinical Vitamin K Deficiency
Authors: Gancheva Silvia , Kitanova Martina , Ghenev Peter , Zhelyazkova-Savova Maria
Published: June 2020

Introduction: Vitamin K (VK) is a co-factor in the post-translational gamma glutamic carboxylation of Gla-proteins. VK-dependent coagulation factors are carboxylated in the liver by VK1. Osteocalcin and Matrix-Gla protein (MGP) are carboxylated in extrahepatic tissues by VK2. A model of VK deficiency would be suitable for studying extrahepatic Gla-proteins provided that severe bleeding is prevented.

Aim: The aim of this work was to adapt an established protocol of vascular calcification by warfarin-induced inactivation of MGP as a calcification inhibitor, in an attempt to create a broader state of subclinical VK deficiency and to verify its safety.

Materials and methods: Two consecutive experiments, each lasting 4 weeks, were required to modify the dosing schedule of warfa­rin and VK1 and to adapt it to the Wistar rats used. The original high doses of warfarin used initially had to be halved and the protective dose of VK1 to be doubled, in order to avoid treatment-induced hemorrhagic deaths. The second experiment aimed to confirm the efficacy and safety of the modified doses.

To verify the VK deficiency, blood vessels were examined histologically for calcium deposits and serum osteocalcin levels were mea­sured.

Results: The original dosing schedule induced VK deficiency, manifested by arterial calcifications and dramatic changes in carboxyl­ated and uncarboxylated osteocalcin. The modified dosing regimen caused similar vascular calcification and no bleeding.

Conclusion: The modified protocol of carefully balanced warfarin and VK1 doses is an effective and safe way to induce subclinical VK deficiency that can be implemented to investigate VK-dependent proteins like osteocalcin.

Background:Plumbago zeylanica plant belongs to Plumbaginaceae. The plant is reported for many pharmacological activities.

Aim: The objective of the study was to identify fatty acids and non-polar chemical compounds in Plumbago zeylanica leaves.

Materials and methods: Petroleum ether extract was prepared using soxhlet apparatus. Saponifiable and unsaponifiable matter was separated with saponification process. To identify fatty acids in saponifiable matter further esterification was performed. Gas chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis was performed of both saponifiable and unsaponifiable fractions. All the fatty acid methyl esters and non-polar chemical compounds were identified using NIST library data.

Results: A total of 14 compounds were identified with comparison of NIST data. From that, 8 fatty acid methyl esters and 6 non-polar chemical compounds were identified. Here we have analyzed fatty acids and non-polar chemical compounds by the same GC-MS method.

Conclusions: The present analysis showed that Plumbago Zeylanica leaves contain 8 fatty acids and 6 non-polar chemical compounds. Principal determination of the research was development of efficient method to identify non-polar compound from plant by single injection using chromatographic technique.

Published: June 2020

Large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the endometrium is an insufficiently researched aggressive tumor with a short survival regard­less of the treatment type.

We present here the 38th consecutive case of literature reported cases of large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the endometrium (posi­tive for synaptophysin, CD56, chromogranin A, p53, and Vimentin) found in the myomatous uterus of a 76-year-old woman.

We also describe in the study the morphological algorithm for differentiation of malignant blastomas with small (under 10 %) neuro-endocrinal component.

Accumulated clinical and morphological evidence raises the question whether the large-cell and the small-cell neuroendocrine carcino­mas are just different variations according to their histology and topical occurrence (uterine body/cervix) or they are just independent forms with their respective clinical signs, morphology, treatment, and prognosis.

Published: June 2020

Charm needles, otherwise known as susuk, are small pin like objects worn subcutaneously, thought to bring magic powers, bringing health, wealth, beauty, and other benefits to the wearer. These talismans are fairly common in South-East Asia, and are generally thought to be benign entities with few clinical sequela. In fact, no known complications have ever been reported in the literature, as susuk are typically composed of biologically inert precious metals and rarely migrate from their origin. Herein, we detail the first ever reported case of a complication from a charm needle, involving a middle aged Chinese female who had a charm needle subcutaneously inserted into the occipital scalp, which eventually migrated through the skull and into her left cerebellar hemisphere. Our aim is to familiarize readers to this peculiar phenomenon not widely practiced in the western world, and to highlight that charm needles are not as benign as initially conceived. To the best of our knowledge, this case demonstrates the first reported complication of a charm needle in the English medical literature.
Comprendiendo y reduciendo los riesgos climáticos: el impacto de Políticas Innovadoras para una respuesta sostenible a las sequías en Cabo Verde
Authors: Ferreira Costa Carlos Germano
Published: June 2020

El Sahel ha experimentado graves condiciones de sequía desde la década de 1970, mientras que en África Occidental las sequías extremas se han producido con mayor frecuencia en los últimos años. La sequía es el peligro más relevante en Cabo Verde en términos de pérdidas económicas. Este país archipelágico experimenta condiciones de sequía extrema de manera regular con un impacto particular en el sector agrícola. Aunque la variabilidad climática sea una fuente importante de riesgo, el impacto de la sequía en la agricultura y en la sociedad no solo depende de las características hidrometeorológicas inherentes de una región, sino también de los niveles de exposición y de la vulnerabilidad de las personas, de los sistemas políticos, y agrícolas. En ese sentido, y a la luz de los cambios globales, la comprensión de perspectivas políticas emergentes, para hacer frente a los riesgos relacionados con el clima, son esenciales para beneficiar la planificación y los procesos de toma de decisión. En esta investigación descriptiva de carácter cuali­tativo buscamos proporcionar a los responsables políticos y a la sociedad civil un esquema actual de desarrollos y factores cruciales que vinculan la reducción de desastres y la integración de la adaptación al cambio climático al desarrollo. Tomamos en consideración Cabo Verde, con especial énfasis en la respuesta de emergencia de sequía entre 2017-18, para discutir los impactos observados del cambio climático en el desarrollo territorial, ya que proporciona la base para comprender enfoques innovadores para analizar los impactos de las sequías y apoyar actividades para la Reducción de Riesgos de Desastres (RRD), al capturar la evolución de los esfuer­zos nacionales, asegurando que informan procesos internacionales, a fin de permitir vías resilientes al clima.

Published: June 2020

En la región mediterránea el principal riesgo natural son las inundaciones. Este se ha agravado en las últimas décadas por el incremento de la exposición del ser humano y se prevé que aumente la peligrosidad según los escenarios de cambio climático. Por este motivo, tratar estos temas en el aula y la formación de maestros/as sobre esta temática debe ser una prioridad tal y como establece el currículo de Educación Primaria (área de Ciencias Sociales). Los objetivos de esta investigación son: 1) Analizar los cono­cimientos que poseen los/as futuros/as maestros/as sobre el riesgo de inundación para desarrollar estos contenidos en el aula; 2) Comprobar la relevancia que los/as futuros/as docentes le conceden a esta problemática socio-ambiental; y 3) Entender qué tipo de formación académica inicial han recibido estos/as alumnos/as para enfrentarse a estos desafíos de la enseñanza durante la Educación Primaria. Metodológicamente se ha realizado una encuesta a modo de estudio de caso a los/as futuros/as maestros/as de Educación Primaria (Facultat de Magisteri, Universidad de Valencia). Los resultados indican que estos tienen: 1) Escasos conocimientos previos en relación con los riesgos de inundación; 2) Una reducida percepción de la importancia del factor vulnerabilidad para mitigar el riesgo; y 3) Escasa información recibida sobre esta temática en su etapa de formación escolar.

Traffic flows are becoming more intense over time as a result of global automobilization. Road transport specialists are developing and analyzing different approaches to control traffic, to design and to build new highways. Decreasing total amount of accidents and congestion avoidance on a road are the main goals of this research. General traffic flow features and car localization are the most important types of data to be obtained, processed and analyzed in modern conditions as cars are highly maneuverable. Proper usage of this data allows building new high-quality traffic control systems taking in account all of its significant features. We have developed a system for video-processing from camera fixed on car torpedo.   Research presented in this paper suggests an algorithm of transverse safety clearance evaluation by analyzing a video from vehicle on-board camera.

This paper proposes a novel four-pronged solution for estimating routes and total time required to travel in a transportation network. The proposed solution attempts to optimize the Google’s Map API request flow using open street map (OSM). As it is known that each request to Google Map API will incur some latency, since different computation are performed on Google server for each request. To avoid this latency, route estimations (distance and time) are calculated using a four-pronged approach based on Google map API, open street map (OSM), routing cache and logical grid of locations. The objective is to create a generalized routing system that tries to use Google services in optimized fashion. The proposed approach stores each requests/ response from Google Map API into an optimized data structure called cache. After passage of time, these cache records are moved to another data structure called random access memory (RAM) file. In scenarios where requests can’t be served via stored data, the proposed system attempts to give approximate estimations based on open street map (OSM) using an A* search for finding route. In addition to this, data that has been cached in proposed approach can be used for further analysis or applying machine learning algorithm for off-line route calculations later.
Conflitos e organização do espaço público em processo de tomada de decisão na França e no Brasil: a negociação em áreas protegidas
Authors: Tilbeurgh Véronique Van , Costa Guilherme Borges da
Published: June 2020

L´objectif de cet article est d’interroger le lien entre le conflit et l’organisation de l’espace public dans les processus de négociation d’une décision publique. Nous comparons les négociations dans deux zones protégées, le parc marin en mer d’Iroise (en France) et l´aire protégée Várzea do Rio Tietê (au Brésil). Cette comparaison montre que dans les deux cas, la décision devant être négociée a été imposée par une des parties, mais cette situation n’a eu un effet amplificateur du conflit qu’en France. Les explications à ces variations sont recherchées dans les formes d’organisation de l’espace public dans ces deux pays.
Las ediciones de las Partidas en el siglo XVI
Authors: López Nevot José Antonio
Published: June 2020

En el presente estudio se examinan las ediciones de las Partidas en el Quinientos, con el propósito de conocer la valoración de los contemporáneos. Partiendo de la crítica a la primera edición, impresa a iniciativa privada de Alonso Díaz de Montalvo (Sevilla, 1491), otros juristas castellanos emprendieron la tarea de superarla, designio que sólo logró culminar Gregorio López de Valenzuela en 1555. Pero antes hubo algunos intentos frustrados, menos conocidos y que, por ende, exigen mayor esclarecimiento: el de Lorenzo Galíndez de Carvajal, que se nos revela como un trabajo preparatorio destinado a incorporarse a una futura recopilación de las leyes del reino, y el de Francisco de Espinosa, quien declaró su intención de depurar los libros de las Partidas, quizá como primer paso encaminado a una edición del texto alfonsino. A diferencia de la edición de Montalvo, la de Gregorio López (Salamanca, 1555) obtuvo reconocimiento oficial y un prestigio extraordinario, no solo en la práctica judicial, sino también en la enseñanza del Derecho. Sin embargo, la fidelidad de la edición gregoriana al texto genuino de las Partidas sería cuestionada por los juristas de la Ilustración.
Las Siete Partidas no contexto da globalização do antijudaísmo no século XIII
Authors: Crossetti de Almeida Cybele , Laham Cohen Rodrigo , Rosa Stelmach Yuri Leonardo
Published: June 2020

En este trabajo analizaremos el modo en el que los judíos fueron tratados en las Siete Partidas y en las Cantigas de Santa Maria, ambas obras producidas en la corte de Alfonso el Sabio. Veremos, en una primera parte, el carácter contradictorio de ciertas definiciones sobre los judíos en las Partidas. Resaltaremos, sobre todo, el trato que recibió la acusación de crimen ritual en el texto, hecho que pone de relieve la rápida difusión del mito nacido en Norwich en el siglo XII. El análisis será llevado a cabo a través de distintas herramientas entre las cuales se destacan los conceptos de proyección e inversión. También cotejaremos las vinculaciones entre la ley destinada al crimen ritual en las Partidas con algunas Cantigas en las cuales el tema es, si bien indirectamente, sugerido. El contraste entre la búsqueda de orden observada en las Partidas, incluso cuando se enfrentan a acusaciones de crímenes rituales, en comparación con la violencia desordenada contra los judíos presentes en las Cantigas es visible, incluso cuando se usa para otros presuntos delitos menos importantes que la acusación de asesinato ritual.
Le Peuple, la Terre et la notion d’appartenance dans Las Partidas
Authors: Ruiz Gómez Francisco
Published: June 2020

L'ordonnancement politique des sociétés, tel que l'on expose dans Las Partidas, comprend trois éléments fondamentaux qui sont : le roi, le peuple et le royaume ou territoire qui leur appartiennent. En suivant les idées de la dénommée théologie politique, on affirme que le roi a le fief sur son peuple et son royaume en fonction d’un mandat divin. Les hommes, de leur côté, sont obligés à aimer Dieu, à obéir leurs rois et procurer le bien et la sauvegarde de leur terre, que dizen en latin patria. Le roi et le peuple forment un même corps politique, tandis que le territoire devient un lien commun à tous les deux. La terre est la référence basique pour l'encadrement politique des gens, elle est la mère du peuple, source de vie et de droit, et ils sont tous obligés pour cette raison à défendre leur terroir.
La nomination de la tutrice dans Las Siete Partidas : contribution à l’étude de l’influence du droit romain sur la place de la femme dans le droit médiéval hispanique
Authors: Bartolotti Guilhem
Published: June 2020

À bien des égards, les Siete Partidas ont accueilli des influences romaines. Tel fut le cas notamment du droit des tutelles, qui témoigne incidemment du rôle accordé aux femmes dans la société médiévale hispanique. Conçue comme une fonction impliquant l’exercice d’une puissance, la tutelle fut orientée en fonction de la figure masculine. Cela s’observe à travers le vocabulaire employé dans les Partidas, ainsi que les exclusions dont souffrent les femmes. Néanmoins, la possibilité pour la mère ou la grand-mère de recueillir la tutelle de leurs enfants orphelins fut reconnue, héritage d’une concession du droit romain tardif. Cette tutelle s’intégrait alors dans un mécanisme plus complexe de nomination, puisqu’aux conditions habituelles, s’y ajoutaient deux nouvelles, réservées aux femmes, et surtout, cumulatives. Il s’agissait ainsi d’encadrer et d’assurer dans la durée la protection des orphelins, le sexe féminin étant considéré comme plus susceptible d’y préjudicier, de manière intentionnelle ou non.
Cipriano de Valera et la traduction de la Bible en langue vernaculaire
Authors: Parello Vincent
Published: June 2020

Cet article propose une réflexion sur la traduction de la Bible en langue vernaculaire à travers le cas de Cipriano de Valera, moine hiéronymite de Séville qui avait adhéré aux thèses réformées sous l’influence du docteur Egidio et de Constantino Ponce de la Fuente. Il se compose de trois parties : 1) Bible et traduction ; 2) Bible et lecture ; 3) Bible et canonicité. Pour Cipriano de Valera, le combat contre l’hérésie ne peut se faire que par une mise à la portée de tous de la Bible en langue vulgaire.

Published: June 2020

Many companies are facing a constant need to develop coordination between operational functions to quickly respond to customer requests. Thus, many practitioners are resorting to an established and integrated business management methodology, the Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP). The impact of the S&OP on operational performance was significantly demonstrated in many studies. However, it turns out that the theoretical studies made differ from what is actually applied, in addition to several parameters that are considered in the calculations especially with regard to Japanese industries. So, how is S&OP operated in this industry? What are the different calculation parameters used? and how are the results obtained and analyzed?In this paper, we will first present a short literature review of S&OP and its role and benefits. Then, we present a model of S&OP used in a wire harnesses Japanese industry. The goal is to show first a concrete example, where we present the various parameters considered in the calculations, and then we will explain how the resulting graphs are analyzed by managers and what could be done as corrective actions in case of gap existing.

Published: June 2020

Diatomite or diatomaceous earth (DE) is one of materials which can be used as an adsorbent to treat heavy metal ions from waste water, even there are many factories used it to clean the water for drinking. However, natural DE (raw DE) has very low adsorption capacity because of low specific surface area. In this work, natural DE from Lam Dong province, Viet Nam was demagnetized to remove iron and activated by HCl solution for 90 minutes with concentration of 10% at room condition. Adsorbent capacity was evaluated using As solution and the results show that the activated diatomite has adsorption capacity three times higher than that of raw DE, and the specific surface area of activated diatomite was increased 47.5% with the main chemical composition of 90.8% SiO2and high porosity

A simple solution for fulfilling biosafety and national drug agency demands of radiation and biosafety during Ga-68 radionuclide containing radiopharmaceutical production (RP) by small scale laboratories has been demonstrated based on a novel sterile seal concept of multi-layer bag system prototype. These mid-and inner enclosures of the prototype with vial inside were sterilized by 50 kGy of gamma radiation. The microbial safety validation based on two-week testing confirmed successful sterilization of the sealing bags with vails. The analysis of physicochemical properties, namely mechanical properties, gel fraction studies revealed that sterilization did not cause any undesired changes in developed materials, compared to non-irradiated control samples.
