The poverty business has recently become a frequent issue in public discourse. The Program Declaration of the Government of the Czech Republic also reflects this, as the poverty business is mentioned here in relation to the abuse of the welfare system through overpriced lodging houses. In spite of the political significance of the poverty business, the research on this issue has been scant. No attempt has even been made to clarify the meaning of this concept. This study is meant to be a first step in understanding the poverty business in the Czech context; it aims to explore how this phenomenon was represented in the Czech news media. The research was based on the theory of representation and qualitative content analysis, a method that was devised for thematic analysis of media content. The data were drawn from the Anopress IT database. Out of 1,277 texts containing the term “poverty business” and similar relevant terms, 66 texts were selected for the analysis. The analysis found that the poverty business is mainly presented as a matter of housing; however, other meanings were also identified, all of which were connected to the idea of exploitation of the poor and vulnerable segments of society. The victims of the poverty business include not only the clients of poverty entrepreneurs but also other people who were categorized according to their alleged decency or indecency. The consequences of the poverty business were seen as relating to clients, interethnic coexistence and the public administration. The main subjects identified in media communications were the state, municipality, and poverty entrepreneurs, who played the role of culprits, profiting subjects, and rectifiers. To conclude, the poverty business was represented as a highly politicized issue that concerns the misuse of housing benefits and is seen both as a socio-economic and ethno-cultural problem. The solution to the poverty business was mostly conceived as a technical intervention into the welfare system, ignoring the agency of the victims of the poverty business.
Vývoj pohledu britské zahraniční politiky na Bagdádský pakt (Organizaci centrální smlouvy, CENTO) v letech 1955–1962
Authors:   Charles University, Czechia, Nevrkla Lukáš
Published: September 2019

The main aim of the text is to analyse the attitudes of British foreign policy towards the Central Treaty Organisation (CENTO) up to 1959, known as the Baghdad Pact. The organisation emerged in 1955 as an alliance between Great Britain, Iraq, Iran, Turkey and Pakistan. The main aim of the pact was to prevent the spread of communism in the Middle East and to improve cooperation for defence and security in the Northern Tier area. Even though the alliance was generally perceived as problematic and dysfunctional, CENTO remained in force until 1979, when it was dissolved after the fall of the pro-Western regime of Shah Muhammad Reza Pahlavi in Iran. The text seeks to outline the development of British foreign policy attitudes towards the alliance between the initial period of its existence (1955–1958) and the early CENTO period (1959–1962), and thus identify the main political factors which shaped British interest in preserving the alliance after 1958. The text analyses the function of the alliance as it was reflected in key strategic documents of the British defence doctrine, especially in the white papers on defence. In addition, after outlining the general context of the collapse and transformation of the Baghdad Pact into CENTO, it analyses the British perception of the alliance in the context of British-Iranian relations, as after the secession of Iraq from the alliance in 1959 it was Iran that became a pillar of British interest in the alliance. The study argues that CENTO, even though it was a military organisation, fulfilled a primarily political function consisting of the political aspect of deterrence and ensuring the pro-Western orientation of its regional members, especially Iran.
Kultur pop dan diskursus ideologi kecantikan pada iklan di televisi
Authors: Nuraryo Imam
Published: September 2019

Saat ini televisi telah menjadi saluran untuk membangun gambaran ideal mengenai dunia. Salah satunya adalah citra kecantikan seorang wanita. Iklan di televisi telah merekayasa hal tersebut dalam penyampaian pesannya. Kebanyakan mereka menampilkan fisik wanita secara ideal adalah memiliki kulit bersih (putih), tubuh yang yang langsing, dan memiliki rambut hitam yang panjang. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif. Teknik pengumpulan data yang dilakukan adalah observasi pada tiga buah iklan televisi yakni iklan Pond’s versi fotografer, iklan WRP Lose Weight dan iklan shampo Pantene Hair Fall pro Vitamin versi Maudy Ayunda. Hasil penelitian ini adalah bahwa ketiga iklan tersebut memberikan gambaran yang ideal adalah dengan menampilkan tubuh yang langsing, rambut kuat adalah rambut yang hitam dan dan kulit yang cantik adalah kulit yang putih. Ketiga hal tersebut menjelma menjadi diskursus dominan fisik perempuan yang ideal di benak khalayak. Diskursus ini mampu meminggirkan diskursus alternatif yakni bagi para perempuan yang tidak berkulit bening, berambut hitam berkilau dan bertubuh tidak langsing. Konsekuensinya adalah bagi para perempuan yang tak mendapatkan “status” sebagaimana yang telah justifikasi iklan, akan kehilangan kepercayaan pada diri kuasa atas fisiknya serta seiring berjalannya waktu memudarnya identitas ciri akan fisiknya.

Effect of Prandtl Number and Diameter Ratio on Laminar Natural Convection from Isothermal Horizontal Cylindrical Annuli
Authors: Jasim Abdulateef
Published: September 2019

A numerical investigation of transient, two-dimensional natural convection in horizontal isothermal cylindrical annuli is performed to investigate the Prandtl number and diameter ratio effect on flow and heat transfer characteristics. The finite difference method is used to solve the governing equations, in which buoyancy is modeled via the Boussinesq approximation. Both vorticity and energy equations are solved using alternating direction implicit (ADI) method and stream function equation by successive over relaxation (SOR) method. Solutions for laminar case are obtained up to Grashof number of 105 as well as three different diameter ratios, namely 1.2, 1.5, and 2.0 and the Prandtl number varies from 0.7 to 10 are considered. The computed flow patterns and temperature fields are shown by means of streamlines and isotherms, respectively, and the average heat transfer coefficients are also presented. The numerical results are summarized by Nusselt number vs. Grashof number correlations with the Prandtl number and diameter ratio as a parameter. The results of the parametric study show that the diameter ratio and Grashof number have a profound influence on the temperature and flow field and they are almost independent of a low Prandtl number fluid. The average Nusselt number increases by 25% at large of diameter ratio and Prandtl number. Good agreement with earlier available data is obtained.

Authors: Moura Fabrício Thiago , Silva Heslley Machado
Published: September 2019

Introdução: O Ensino de Ciências por Investigação tem se tornado, em conjunto com a proposta Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade, uma estratégia de ensino do professor para a construção do conhecimento científico do educando, possibilitando a formação de cidadãos com a capacidade de tomada de decisões. Diante dos aspectos étnicos, sociais e tecnológicos relativos aos avanços da biotecnologia, a inserção de atividades investigativas sobre a temática se faz essencial para a formação dos sujeitos. Objetivo: Mapear por meio de Testes de Evidências a estrutura cognitiva de alunos do Ensino Médio sobre transgenia e técnica de DNA recombinante e construir conhecimentos científicos que permitam a formação de educandos aptos a criticar e a debater seus pontos de vista.  Metodologia: Trata-se de um relato de experiência, de abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa fundamentado na descrição e análise das atividades desenvolvidas com os alunos matriculados no 1º ano do Ensino Médio de uma escola pública do estado de Minas Gerais. Resultados: A análise dos dados sugerem que os educandos possuem conhecimentos incipientes sobre transgênicos. Observamos a generalização de conceitos e processos biológicos, muitas vezes em desacordo com os aceitos no meio científico. Apenas 25,0% dos alunos compreendem o processo biotecnológico de produção dos organismos transgênicos. 59,0% dos educandos que reconhecem organismos oriundos da engenharia genética não compreendem a diferença entre melhoramento genético e transgenia. Todavia, 65,0% dos alunos participantes conhecem possíveis benefícios ou impactos dos transgênicos. Conclusão: A intervenção pedagógica aliada a Sequência Didática Interativa (SDI), onde os alunos eram postos a discutirem em grupos viabilizou a construção de conceitos, capacitando-os a criticar informações e reafirmando o valor da atividade investigativa para detecção e construção de conhecimentos científicos.

An overview of the adverse effects of cannabis use for Canadian physicians
Authors: Leduc-Pessah Heather , Jensen Samuel K. , Newell Christopher
Published: September 2019

Purpose: Cannabis is the most widely used illicit substance and one of the most commonly used psychoactive substances in the world, preceded only by alcohol, tobacco and caffeine. Recent changes in legislation regarding cannabis use in Canada and potential upcoming changes worldwide may have a further impact on the prevalence of cannabis use. Thus, it is critical to understand the risks and potential adverse health effects of acute and long-term cannabis use. Current literature is lacking in many areas surrounding cannabis use, and for the most part is unable to provide clear associations once confounding variables are considered. Here we provide a general overview of the history of cannabis, the physical and mental health consequences, and the risks to specific groups.

Source: A scoping search of published articles in PubMed from the start date (1946) until 2018.

Principal finding: Current evidence supports an association between cannabis use and mild respiratory and cardiac effects, but no clear increased risk of

cancer. Psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia and anxiety, show associations with cannabis use; however, a causal effect of cannabis use is unclear. While no evidence for increased risk in pregnancy has been found, risk is still undetermined. Youth may be at a greater risk as earlier initiation of use increases the risk of adverse health effects.

Conclusion: Overall, evidence for direct and long-term adverse effects of cannabis use is minimal and additional longitudinal studies will be required to better delineate unidentified effects.
Relationship between blood lipid and arterial stiffness in hypertension
Authors: Si Xiao-bei , Liu Wei
Published: September 2019

Purpose: To explore the relationship between blood lipids and pulse wave velocity (PWV).

Methods: We retrospectively selected subjects who had undergone treatment in an outpatient or inpatient clinic. The subjects were sub-grouped into four

groups: Group A (no history of hypertension and dyslipidemia), Group B (a history of dyslipidemia but not hypertension), Group C (a history of hypertension but not dyslipidemia) and Group D (a history of both hypertension and dyslipidemia). We determined brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), non-high-density lipoprotein (non-HDL-C), total cholesterol/high density lipoprotein (TC/HDL-C) and atherogenic indices (AI) for hypertension and non-hypertension and dyslipidemia and non-dyslipidemia patients.

Results: A total of 380 subjects were included. Uric acid, systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, pulse pressure and mean arterial pressure were significantly different among the groups. The prevalence of coronary arterial disease and diabetes mellitus, age, body mass index, heart rate, blood glucose, creatinine, urea, smoking history and alcohol consumption did not differ among groups. The baPWV was significantly different between both hypertension/nonhypertension and dyslipidemia/non-dyslipidemia patients. In hypertension patients (in Group C and D), partial correlation analysis showed that ΔbaPWV correlated with TC, HDL-C, AI, AIP and TC/HDL-C but not LDL-C, triglyceride (TG) or non-HDL-C.

Conclusion: Hypertension and/or dyslipidemia may be risk factors for arterial stiffness. In hypertension patients, TC, HDL-C, AIP, AI and TC/HDL-C might correlate to arterial stiffness and pathological increases in these levels may indicate risk factors for arterial stiffness.

Published: September 2019

The Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach has experienced a considerable growth and it is being progressively integrated into curricula all across Europe. It is a dual educational approach in which content and language must be combined. This approach introduces a new cognitive dimension which is missing in other language learning approaches by the addition of a new competence: using the language to learn. This study intends to analyze a lesson planning process of a CLIL Primary School Science lesson at a Spanish state school focusing on the cognitive dimension of the learning process of both Science content and foreign language skills.
The Autobiography of My Mother: Looking at the Past with Old Eyes.
Authors: Muñoz-González Esther
Published: September 2019

The Autobiography of My Mother (Kincaid 1996) is Xuela’s story. Xuela as the narrator and protagonist of the novel ‘moves between the imaginary world of the text and the real world of Kincaid’s life’ (Edwards 116-17). The Palimpsest metaphor shows to be useful to represent the ‘palimpsesting of her identity’ that Xuela does in her autobiography because the final perception of Xuela’s identity implies a selection of experiences in which the visible surface makes it possible to perceive not only the young Xuela but that who never was and the life she did not allow herself to live.
PRACTICAL JOKES: DON DELILLO´S RATNER´S STAR AND LITERARY GAMES
Authors: Pritchard Simon John
Published: September 2019

“Literary games” are strategies employed by writers to draw attention to, to disrupt, and even to subvert the conventions of literary production and reading. In his oddest novel, Ratner´s Star, Don DeLillo employs many such strategies; strategies which not only provide the reader with much playful diversion, but which also have the practical consequence of guiding readers to alternative (and challenging) ways of engaging with literary texts. This paper explores the literary games played by DeLillo in his novel, Ratner´s Star and suggests some of the practical implications these games have for our conception of what it means, in the aftermath of fundamental revolutions in linguistic and philosophical theory, to be a reader.
COMMUNICATION AND MASS MEDIA IN DELILLO'S WHITE NOISE AND PYNCHO'S THE CRYING OF LOT 49
Authors: Pérez García Ana Belén
Published: September 2019

White Noise y The Crying of Lot 49 se clasifican como “Novelas de imagen y ficción,” obras que tratan de hacer visible la influencia que los medios de comunicación tuvieron en la era moderna. Éstos están presentes en ambas novelas, ya que los medios afectan el desarrollo de los argumentos, la evolución de los personajes y las formas de comunicación. Este ensayo se centra en esto desde tres puntos de vista: el grado en el que la audiencia se involucra con los medios de comunicación, el grado en el que los medios se convierten en la única fuente de información y las consecuencias que esto puede tener, y la importancia de conceptos como “ruido,” lenguaje o drogas en relación con ambas novelas.
Apocalypse
Authors: Benitez Christian Jil
Published: September 2019

Alvin Yapan’s “Apocalypse” (Filipino: “Apokalipsis”) renders the end of the world as the simultaneous transgression of presupposed boundaries between the individual and collective, the human and non-human, and the rational and irrational. By locating the narrative in an unnamed corner of the Philippine metropolis that is altogether too familiar in the present, and through interweaving the folkloric and popular, the text proposes a timely urban legend that articulates anxieties of a particular tropical consciousness grappling with modernism. The tale is a counternarrative that acknowledges contemporary overlaps – in the same vein as articulated by Senf (2014, p.31) who values the Gothic as “a counterbalance produced by writers and thinkers who felt limited by such a confident worldview and recognized that the power of the past, the irrational, and the violent continue to hold sway in the world.” The present text becomes a rehearsal of the story’s proposed apocalypse through the transgression offered by the act of translation which opens this particular tropical articulation to a wider field of discourse on the modern.

25 Years of the Journal For Semitics: An Analysis of Research Topics
Authors: Roberts Jennifer Joyce
Published: September 2019

Published in association with the Southern African Society for Near Eastern Studies (formerly the Southern African Society for Semitics), Journal for Semitics has been available since 1989. Articles on any topic in Semitics are considered for inclusion, including the linguistic study of Semitic languages, history, literature, and culture. In this, the 25th anniversary of the journal, an empirical analysis has been carried out to determine the status of the publications with regard to trends, institutions, authors, and research areas. Using the database of the South African Bibliographical and Information Network (Sabinet), all articles that have been published in Journal for Semitics since its inception in 1989 up to and including the 25th year of publication in 2015 have been analysed. The articles have been analysed according to demographical variables as well as research themes and sub-themes. The demographical variables include year of publication, affiliation of the author(s) and individual contributions as well as the themes and sub-themes that range from Semitic languages through to iconography in ancient and Near Eastern studies. The purpose of this analysis is twofold. First, it will provide empirical examination of the articles that have been published in order for the editors to reflect on the institutional contribution and research areas of these articles, and, secondly, insights will be obtained into opportunities where little research has been undertaken. A further article will be published which reflects the research trends in the journal over five-year time-frames.
Fulgazepam: A Fulgimide-Based Potentiator of GABAA Receptors

Published: September 2019

The γ-aminobutyric acid gated chloride channel represents the major mediator of inhibitory neurotransmission in the mammalian central nervous system and its dysfunction is related to severe diseases like epilepsy and depression, which can be relieved by the application of allosteric modulators. However, the drugs’ potential side-effects limit their application for long-term treatment. Applying light as external stimulus to modify the pharmacophore’s activity, as emerged in the field of photopharmacology, provides a non-invasive tool with high spatial and temporal resolution for the modulation of protein function. Herein, we report the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of photochromic fulgimide-based benzodiazepine derivatives as light-controllable potentiators of GABAA receptors (GABAARs). A photocontrolled potentiator of GABAARs (Fulgazepam) has been identified that does not display agonist or antagonist activity and allows manipulating zebrafish larvae swimming.
Single Particle Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry: Investigating Nonlinear Response Observed in Pulse Counting Mode and Extending the Linear Dynamic Range by Compensating for Dead Time Related Count Losses on a Microsecond Timescale
Authors: Strenge Ingo , Engelhard Carsten
Published: September 2019

The article demonstrates the importance of using a suitable approach to compensate for dead time relate count losses (a certain measurement artefact) whenever short, but potentially strong transient signals are to be analysed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Findings strongly support the theory that inadequate time resolution, and therefore insufficient compensation for these count losses, is one of the main reasons for size underestimation observed when analysing inorganic nanoparticles using ICP-MS, a topic still controversially discussed.
Superelectrophilic Aluminum(III)-Ion Pairs Promote a Distinct Reaction Path for Carbonyl-Olefin Metathesis of Medium-Sized Rings
Authors: Watson Rebecca , Davis Ashlee J. , Gomez-Lopez Jessica L. , Nasrallah Daniel , Schindler Corinna
Published: September 2019

We describe the development of a new catalyst system for carbonyl-olefin ring-closing metathesis reactions that relies on Lewis acidic superelectrophiles and significantly expands the current scope of this transformation to medium-sized rings. Importantly, these superelectrophiles are shown to promote carbonyl-olefin metathesis via a distinct and unprecedented mechanism.
Identification of Important Normal Modes in Nonadiabatic Dynamics Simulations by Coherence, Correlation, and Frequency Analyses
Authors: Mai Sebastian , Gonzalez Leticia
Published: September 2019

Nonadiabatic dynamics simulations of molecular systems with a large number of nuclear degrees of freedom become increasingly feasible, but there is still a need to extract from such simulations a small number of most important modes of nuclear motion, for example to obtain general insight or to construct low-dimensional model potentials for further simulations. Standard techniques for this dimensionality reduction employ statistical methods that identify the modes that account for the largest variance in nuclear positions. However, large-amplitude motion is not necessarily a good proxy for the influence of a mode on the excited-state wave function evolution. Hence, here we report a number of analysis techniques aimed at extracting from nonadiabatic dynamics simulations the vibrational modes that are most strongly affected by the electronic excitation process and that most significantly affect the interaction of the electronic states. The first technique identifies coherent nuclear motion after excitation from the ratio between total variance and variance of the average trajectory. The second strategy employs linear regression to find normal modes that have a statistically significant effect on excitation energies, energy gaps, or wave function overlaps. The third approach uses time-frequency analysis to find normal modes where the vibrational frequencies change in the course of the dynamics simulation. All three techniques are applied to the case of surface hopping trajectories of [Re(CO)3(Im)(Phen)]+ (Im=imidazole; Phen=1,10-phenanthroline), showing that in this transition metal complex the nonadiabatic dynamics is dominated by a small number of carbonyl and phenanthroline in-plane stretch modes.
Proton-Detected Multidimensional Solid-State NMR Enables Precise Characterization of Vanadium Surface Species at Natural Abundance
Authors: Mance D , Comas-Vives Aleix , Copéret Christophe
Published: September 2019

Heterogeneous catalysts fulfill vital roles in industrial process, however due to the nature of the catalytic surfaces typically containing either a low abundance of active sites and being amorphous in nature leads difficulties when attempting to study the structure of the active sites. In this work we show how making use of fast MAS ssNMR probes allows to efficiently detect well resolved 1H detected spectra of heterogeneous catalysts. This approach was applied to study the structure of surface species resulting from the grafting of VO(OiPr)3 onto a partially dehydroxylated silica using the surface organometallic chemistry approach. The use of the 1H sensitivity enabled to detect various hetero- and homo-nuclear correlation spectra in order to study the structure of this system and to resolve the structure of the grafted vanadium complex. More specifically, VO(OiPr)3 grafts through both protonolysis and opening of siloxane bridges to generate a bis-grafted species, in contrast to most other alkoxides.

يعد التضخم من متغيرات الإقتصاد الكلي المهمة لما يتسم به من علاقة وثيقة مع العديد من المتغيرات الحقيقية والنقدية ، ولما يتركه من آثار سلبية على الإنتاجية، و النمو الإقتصادي، إذ  يحد من  معدل النمو الإقتصادي، ويزيد من التفاوت في الدخل والثروة ومن ثم الرفاهية الإقتصادية . لذا  كان الحد من التضخم  ومكافحته يشكل الاولوية لدى صانعي السياسات عند صياغة الأهداف الإقتصادية. الهدف الرئيسي من هذه  الدراسة يتمثل في قياس وتحليل العلاقة السببية بين التضخم معبرا عنه بالرقم القياسي لأسعار المستهلك وعرض النقود، والإنفاق  الحكومي في الإقتصاد العراقي للمدة (1990-2017). وكان المنهج الكمي هو الاداة المستخدمة لتحقيق هذا الهدف من خلال الاستعانة بالأساليب القياسية الحديثة من إختبار  أستقرارية السلاسل الزمنية، التكامل المشترك، نموذج تصحيح الخطأ، وأخيرا سببية كرانجر. وقد أثبتت الدراسة وجود علاقة توازنية طويلة الأجل بين التضخم من جهة، وبين كل من النفقات العامة، وعرض النقد من جهة ثانية. كما أظهرت نتائج تقدير نموذج تصحيح الخطأ إستنادا إلى قيمة معلمة معامل التعديل، أن معدل التضخم  يستغرق بحدود ثلاثة أو أربعة سنوات لتعود ثانية إلى حالة التوازن عند حدوث أزمات ، أو صدمات  اقتصادية. كما أظهرت النتائج أن هناك علاقة سببية باتجاه واحد، تتجه من عرض النقد بالمفهوم الضيق، والنفقات العامة باتجاه التضخم، أي أن كل من عرض النقد، والإنفاق  الحكومي يتسببان في إرتفاع  المستوى العام للأسعار.
Detecting sequence signals in targeting peptides using deep learning

Published: September 2019

In bioinformatics, machine learning methods have been used to predict features embedded in the sequences. In contrast to what is generally assumed, machine learning approaches can also provide new insights into the underlying biology. Here, we demonstrate this by presenting TargetP 2.0, a novel state-of-the-art method to identify N-terminal sorting signals, which direct proteins to the secretory pathway, mitochondria, and chloroplasts or other plastids. By examining the strongest signals from the attention layer in the network, we find that the second residue in the protein, that is, the one following the initial methionine, has a strong influence on the classification. We observe that two-thirds of chloroplast and thylakoid transit peptides have an alanine in position 2, compared with 20% in other plant proteins. We also note that in fungi and single-celled eukaryotes, less than 30% of the targeting peptides have an amino acid that allows the removal of the N-terminal methionine compared with 60% for the proteins without targeting peptide. The importance of this feature for predictions has not been highlighted before.

Dinámica socioespacial de La Habana, Cuba, posterior a 1990
Authors: Gonzalez Rego Rene Alejandro
Published: September 2019

El presente artículo se presenta como una recapitulación de apuntes y reflexiones publicadas por el autor en un número anterior de la revista PatryTer vinculados al tema de la diferenciación socio espacial en áreas urbanas, en esta ocasión, de manera específica en el caso de La Habana, Cuba y las peculiaridades que se han desarrollado en la misma a tenor del impacto de las particularidades del modelo de asimilación espacial seguido. Esta situación permaneció intacta –al menos desde el punto de vista teórico- o al menos inamovible hasta la década de los noventa del siglo pasado, momento en que el país se sume en un profunda y perdurable crisis económica, ante la cual el gobierno promulgó medidas económicas con el objetivo de sortear la crisis y salir airosos de la misma, constituyéndose en un gran reto para el país, y por ende para la capital. Dado que, aunque indeseado, se asiste inevitablemente a un proceso de acentuación y re-acondicionamiento de su diferenciación socio-espacial. Se suman a dichas estrategias las vinculadas a la Actualización del modelo económico cubano, aprobadas por el VI Congreso del Partido Comunista de Cuba, así como las modificaciones a las legislaciones vigentes que han reafirmado y marcado nuevas tendencias en el proceso de renovación y creación del espacio social urbano a partir de 2011.
La noción de territorio: retrospectiva, de Santa María del Puerto del Príncipe a Camagüey
Authors: Chaos Mabel Teresa
Published: September 2019

El artículo resume aspectos relativos al proceso de formación y desarrollo de las ciudades y la incidencia en ello de las características históricas y geográficas. Atiende de manera particular la ciudad de Santa María del Puerto del Príncipe, actualmente Camagüey, para sustentar que la ciudad es mucho más que un lugar en el plano. Se abordan elementos contenidos en la tesis doctoral de la autora referidos al medio geográfico, los factores socio-urbanísticos y las relaciones entre centro y periferia, con especial mención al papel de las haciendas en el desarrollo de la arquitectura urbana. A través de una retrospectiva en la que subyace la noción de territorio se abordan los problemas actuales a los que se enfrentan las ciudades y la relación entre el medio físico y el desarrollo humano personal. Se destaca la necesidad de acciones de conservación y de la concertación de políticas públicas centradas en el hombre como recurso fundamental de preservación patrimonial.
Preservación y conservación del patrimonio cementerial: el Cementerio General de Camaguey, Cuba
Authors: García Adela María
Published: September 2019

El Cementerio General de Camagüey es uno de los más antiguos de Cuba y que aún continúa prestando sus servicios necrológicos de forma total. Su desarrollo reproduce la variedad cultural de la ciudad que lo origina y junto con ella se concibe como un espacio vivo. En el trabajo se establecen paralelismos entre las funciones del tanatorio y la ciudad, así como aproximaciones al desarrollo histórico del sitio, el estudio tipológico de sus construcciones y sus valores, de donde emerge la necesidad de preservar el patrimonio cultural del Cementerio General de Camagüey, en particular su patrimonio edificado como soporte material de la memoria. Permitió diseñar acciones para su conservación, de manera que se prestase atención a la evolución histórica, arquitectónica-morfotipológica del sitio, a su problemática particular, para frenar el acelerado proceso de degradación y proteger así su legado para la ciudad
La urgencia de una integración popular Latinoamericana: el protagonismo de las ciencias sociales
Authors: Costa Everaldo Batista da , Alvarado-Sizzo Ilia , Boscariol Renan Amabile
Published: September 2019

Tenemos pensado, dicho y escrito: la integración latinoamericana solo puede ser operada delante a la acción conjunta o estrategias que pongan en evidencia la fuerza de los grupos sociales históricamente oprimidos en el continente, o sea, en la escala del sujeto. La resistencia negra, indígena, mestiza, femenina, de grupos subalternizados etc., el lo que puede mantener de pie la utopía integradora social de América Latina, una región diversa desde el punto de vista territorial y cultural. Justamente por ese paradojo (integración y unidad delante de la diversidad y de adversidades) gestado en el origen, nuestro continente es, sin la menor duda, el catalizador de la modernidad mundial, junto a la África y a la Asia, en el contexto de los procesos colonizadores europeos. A través del territorio y sus usos que PatryTer desea denunciar las distintas formas de violencias (en escalas) que nuestros grupos sociales “minorizados” (pues son la mayoría de las gentes) continúan a sufrir, delante del ideal de progreso excluyente y de la modernización conservadora, ambos impuestos por el mundo Occidental (Europa y Estados Unidos, notoriamente).
