From the history of ASM-I: “contemporaneity”
Authors: Власова Е.С.
Published: June 2024

В статье прослеживаются предпосылки и выявляется эволюция асмовского движения, которое стало практическим воплощением идеи «современничества», рожденной в недрах Серебряного века и господствующей в российской академической музыкальной культуре на протяжении первой трети XX столетия. Доказывается, что основные принципы «новой музыки» формировались с первых концертов «Вечеров современной музыки» в Санкт-Петербурге и в Москве, в деятельности журнала «Музыка» В. В. Держановского, в концепции русского симфонизма Н. Я. Мясковского. Представлены цели и задачи первой АСМ (1919), работа Второй (1923) и структура третьей, ставшей ВОСМ. Изучены принципы функционирования ленинградских организаций: «Музпроп» (1922), «Петромузинтерн» (1922). В СССР в 1920 годы действовали три независимых областных АСМ — московская, ленинградская и харьковская.

The prerequisites for the evolution of the Association for Contemporary Music (ACM) movement are traced in this article. ACM became the practical embodiment of the idea of “contemporaneity”, which was born in the depths of the Silver Age and became dominant in Russian academic musical culture throughout the first third of the 20th century. It is proved that the basic principles of “new music" were formed from the first concerts of the “Evenings of Modern Music” in St. Petersburg and Moscow, and in the activities of the magazine “Music” by V. V. Derzhanovskiy, in the concept of Russian symphonism by N. Y. Myaskovskiy. The goals and objectives of the first ACM (1919), the work of the Second one (1923) and the structure of the Third, which became the All-Russian Society of Contemporary Music, are presented. The principles of the functioning of Leningrad organizations are studied: “Muzprop” (1922), “Petromuzintern” (1922). In the USSR in 1920, there were three independent regional AСMs: in Moscow, Leningrad and Kharkov.

Published: June 2024

This study was used to design the Gas-cooled Fast Reactor (GFR) with 2400 MWt power as well as to implement a modified CANDLE (MCANDLE) burning strategy. Metallic uranium with Neptunium-237 at a concentration of 1% to 10% was used as burnable poison in the fuel while helium was applied as a coolant. Neptunium has been produced in conventional reactors by the decay product of plutonium obtained from U-238. This isotope has a relatively high absorption cross-section. As a nuclear waste, it is very useful to utilize as a burnable poison to reduce waste in the future and extend reactor operation lifetime with negligible reactivity. Moreover, the reactor was designed to operate for 100 years of burnup. Nuclear Fuel cell level calculations were conducted using the PIJ module and the reactor core was analyzed using the CITATION module contained in the SRAC. The core height was found to be 420 cm while the diameter was 300 cm and it was designed to have a refueling period of ten years. The survey parameters evaluated include burnup level, factor multiplication, conversion ratio, atomic density, and power distribution. The calculation conducted at the fuel cell level showed that the maximum value in the 76th year for the infinite multiplication factor was 1.30097. It was also discovered that the reactor core for the effective multiplication factor parameter with a fuel fraction of 55% was 1.094 without the addition of burnable poison.
Global inflation: modern determinism and challenges for policy
Authors: Smirnov Ye. N.
Published: June 2024

The article studies global inflation determinants, causing it in recent decades and at the present stage under the influence of cascading shocks in world economy and financial system.

   The relevance of the problems summarized and analyzed in the article is explained by the significant risks of the inflation duration at the present stage, which is affected by an increasing number of shocks from demand, supply, and global financial system. In these conditions, even adaptive monetary policy may cease to be effective.

   The purpose of the study is to assess the nature and extent of developed and developing countries’ economies vulnerability due to inflationary shocks and to identify the inflation fundamental determinants in crisis conditions on the basis of retrospective analysis.

   Achievement of the goal implied the solution of such priority tasks as: global inflation dynamics factors identification considering the risks of stagflationary and recessionary trends in world economy; inflation new determinants identification in the context of changes in the scale and structure of the global financial market; assessment of monetary policy adjustment and adaptation mechanisms in the current inflationary environment; consideration of the current nature of supply and demand shocks and their impact on global inflation.

   The current inflationary shock is unprecedented, and the study assesses it in its historical context and for its similarities and differences with significant inflation episodes observed in the post-war decades. The key factors of inflation at the present stage have been analyzed in their relationship with the monetary policy key trends.
Role of labor migrants from Central Asia in the socio-economic development of Russia in the context of new global challenges
Authors: Rakhmonov A. Kh.
Published: June 2024

The article studies history of migration among the countries of Central Asia and Russia, the factors and scale of emigration to Russia against the background of sanctions from the European Union and the USA, and migrants’ contribution to the economic and demographic development of the state. Migration processes from Central Asia to Russia have a long history dating back to Soviet times. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, migration took on unimaginable proportions and became one of the most important factors affecting economic and political life in both Central Asia and Russia. Labor migration began in the late 1990s and peaked in 2014. During their stay in Russia, migrants faced various crises. They have always played a significant role in the socio-economic development of the country. Although migration has always had both positive and negative consequences for the host countries, from an economic point of view it has rather a positive impact on the host countries’ economies. After February 2022 Western countries have imposed new economic and political sanctions against Russia, which have affected the situation and orientation of migrant workers from Central Asian countries. Some migrants have started to look for other emigration channels, while the majority are still focused on Russia. Compared with previous crises, the migrant workers’ role in Russia’s economic and demographic development has increased now against the background of new sanctions.

Authors: Sudorgin O. A. , Agafonov A. V.
Published: June 2024

Youth political engagement is a crucial aspect of modern society. In this regard, digitalization opens huge communicative and mobilization opportunities by transforming young people’s political participation into a digital format with unpredictable consequences. The article analyzes digitalization impact as a complex multi-stage process in modern world on forming youth political leadership. The essence and stages of digitalization, the consequences of digital technologies impact on society, political processes, and youth environment have been studied. The transformational impact on socialization, communicative culture and self-consciousness of youth as a fundamental basis for forming its most active part – youth political leaders – has been revealed. The authors consider how the use of digital means of communication, social networks, and digital ecosystems contributes to the activation of youth participation in political life, accelerates the process of forming youth political leaders, providing their “promotion” in the online space and supporters mobilization. Challenges and threats of digitalization faced by youth and young political leaders have been considered. The authors concluded that digitalization at the present stage is the most important condition for attracting and forming youth political leadership, but this aspect requires further study and support at the public policy level.

The continued advancement of electrochemical technologies requires an increasingly detailed understanding of the microscopic processes that control their performance, inspiring the development of new multi-modal diagnostic techniques. Here, we introduce a neutron imaging approach to enable the quantification of spatial and temporal variations in species concentrations within an operating redox flow cell. Specifically, we leverage the high attenuation of redox-active organic materials (high hydrogen content) and supporting electrolytes (boron-containing) in solution and perform subtractive neutron imaging of active species and supporting electrolyte. To resolve the concentration profiles across the electrodes, we employ the in-plane imaging configuration and correlate the concentration profiles to cell performance with polarization measurements under different operating conditions. Finally, we use time-of-flight neutron imaging to deconvolute concentrations of active species and supporting electrolyte during operation. Using this approach, we evaluate the influence of cell polarity, voltage bias, and flow rate on the concentration distribution within the flow cell and correlate these with the macroscopic performance, thus obtaining an unprecedented level of insight into reactive mass transport. Ultimately, this diagnostic technique can be applied to a range of (electro)chemical technologies and may accelerate the development of new materials and reactor designs.

Published: June 2024

Os GDPs, Grupos de Debates e Propostas, no contexto deste relato, surge da necessidade de discutir e levantar propostas a serem desenvolvidas, em um ano, pela Associação Brasileira de Estudantes de Engenharia Florestal.
O momento é construído para trazer modelos de produção agroecológicos dentro de um curso que há anos vem sendo focado no modelo de agricultura/silvicultura tradicional. Assim, trocar conhecimentos, propor modelos alternativos de produção e de organização social faz, desse momento, um espaço de reflexão e muitas vezes único, dentro de um curso conservador em universidades elitistas.
Assim, surge a necessidade de discutir Agroecologia, como forma de organização social e produção sustentável. A Agroecologia é defendida como bandeira da Associação Brasileira de Estudantes de Engenharia Florestal (ABEEF) e todos os anos são debatidas novas propostas a serem desenvolvidas no ano que segue.
CARACTERIZAÇÃO QUÍMICA DE SOLUÇÃO EXTRAÍDA DE VERMICOMPOSTO

O Brasil produz 241.614 toneladas de lixo por dia, onde 76% são depositados a céu aberto, em lixões, 13% em aterros controlados, 10% em usinas de reciclagem e 0,1% incinerados. Deste total 60% é lixo orgânico, com alto potencial de transformação em fonte de nutrientes para as plantas (MASCIANDARO et al., 2014).  A agricultura orgânica se divide em diversas vertentes que se baseiam e se caracterizam na adoção de alguns princípios, como por exemplo; a reciclagem de resíduos naturais presentes na propriedade agrícola devido à ação benéfica de diversos microorganismos como fungos e bactérias, que decompõe a matéria até a fração húmica (CAPANHOLA e VALARINI, 2001).  
A compostagem é um processo que transforma diversos tipos de resíduos orgânicos em adubos usados para a fertilização dos solos e nutrição das plantas (CAPANHOLA e VALARINI, 2001). É uma técnica que permite a reintrodução do que seria desperdiçado na cadeia produtiva, evitando maior geração de resíduo (SOUZA et al., 2012). A vermicompostagem é um composto produzido por processo de decomposição aeróbica, em que, na primeira fase, estão envolvidos fungos e bactérias, e, na segunda fase, ocorre também atuação das minhocas, originando um composto de melhor qualidade (FINATTO et al., 2013). Tem sido reconhecido como alternativa válida para a conversão de resíduos orgânicos em adubo orgânico de alto valor nutritivo, utilizado amplamente na regeneração de solos degradados (MASCIANDARO et al., 2014). Em plantas supridas com todos os nutrientes necessários ao seu desenvolvimento, a adição de vermicomposto proporciona incrementos no crescimento da parte aérea e radicular da planta devido ao conteúdo de ácido húmico presente (SELIM; MOSA, 2012). Os efeitos do vermicomposto sobre as plantas podem ser considerados de forma direta, atuando no metabolismo das plantas e na morfologia das raízes (SELIM; MOSA, 2012).
Dessa forma o objetivo do trabalho foi aliar a irrigação à adubação orgânica, caracterizando quimicamente a solução extraída de húmus de minhoca (vermicomposto) em diferentes concentrações.
OS DESAFIOS DA ATER COM ABORDAGEM AGROECOLÓGICA NAS POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS RURAIS IMPLEMENTADAS NO MUNICÍPIO DE FLORIANO, PIAUÍ.

No Brasil, a incorporação da abordagem ambiental na Assistência Técnica e Extensão Rural - Ater passou a ser um dos princípios orientadores do Plano Nacional de Agroecologia e Produção Orgânica - Planapo, através da articulação dos agentes públicos e privados. As principais metas e iniciativas do Planapo são destinadas a fortalecer as redes de produção de base agroecológica e orgânica, aumentar a oferta de Assistência Técnica e Extensão Rural – Ater   com foco em práticas agroecológicas, ampliar o acesso à água e a sementes, fortalecer as compras governamentais de produtos, ampliar o acesso dos consumidores a alimentos saudáveis, sem uso de agrotóxicos ou transgênicos na produção agrícola, fortalecendo assim, economicamente as famílias agricultoras (PLANAPO, 2013).
    Por entendermos a agroecologia como uma estratégia que utiliza os princípios da construção do conhecimento coletivo a partir de um movimento com capilaridade mundial, acreditamos ser indispensáveis investigações com realidades empíricas regionais que demonstrem boas práticas de desenvolvimento sustentável como enfrentamento às crises econômicas, sociais, culturais e ambientais pelas quais atravessa todos os continentes.  Dito isto, a perspectivas agroecológicas nas ações de ATER desenvolvida no município de Floriano.
Nesse estudo, partimos da perspectiva teórica de que a agroecologia é um enfoque científico que oferece princípios e metodologias no apoio da transição do atual modelo de desenvolvimento rural e da agricultura convencional para formas sustentáveis, buscando integrar os saberes históricos dos agricultores com os conhecimentos de diferentes ciências, permitindo a compreensão, análise e crítica do atual modelo do desenvolvimento e da agricultura (CAPORAL, 2011; 2015).
Gastos educacionais e desempenho escolar: evidências a partir do Ideb-2017 nos municípios brasileiros
Authors: Panassol Paulo Eduardo
Published: June 2024

O presente trabalho investiga se os gastos públicos de municípios brasileiros nos anos finais do ensino fundamental impactam a qualidade educacional, medida em termos de desempenho em testes padronizados, no caso o Ideb-2017, por meio de estimações por regressões quantílicas (RQ) e mínimos quadrados ordinários (MQO). Para tanto, utilizou-se controles relacionados ao nível socioeconômico dos alunos, à experiência e capacitação dos professores, ao contexto escolar e à gestão da educação nos sistemas municipais, como sendo termos que podem influenciar a qualidade da educação, a partir dos referenciais teóricos da eficácia escolar (FRANCO et al., 2007) e da economia da educação (HANUSHEK, 1986, 1997, 2002, 2006, 2020). Os resultados permitem concluir que os gastos públicos possuem relação positiva com o desempenho escolar nos municípios brasileiros, estando próximos àqueles resultados obtidos por Kroth e Gonçalves (2014). Contudo, a maior parte do diferencial do desempenho dos alunos no Brasil é explicada a partir de fatores atribuíveis aos estudantes.
Disciplinas de Serviço na Universidade de Brasília (UnB) e Programas de Turmas Unificadas
Authors: Braga Farias Simone , Felippe Cabello Andrea , Vila Nova de Souza Junior Celso
Published: June 2024

O artigo propõe uma definição para o conceito disciplina de serviços (uma lacuna da literatura) e descreve as disciplinas na Universidade de Brasília (UnB) que podem ser definidas como tais. Analisa as experiências pedagógicas e metodológicas adotadas pelos programas integrados na UnB e investiga por que só algumas unidades adotam programas integrados. Como metodologia, são utilizados dos do sistema SIGRA e o site de matrículas da UnB. Além disso, foi aplicado questionários aos responsáveis pelas 44 maiores disciplinas da Universidade. Como resultado, observou-se que as disciplinas de serviço são, geralmente, disciplinas obrigatórias para vários cursos, com um número expressivo de demanda, com várias turmas grandes, com mais de 65 alunos. A área Ciências, Matemática e Computação tem o maior número de disciplinas de serviço, enquanto Ciências Sociais, Negócios e Direito tem a maior concentração de alunos e essas áreas concentram as soluções unificadas. Conclui-se que a solução de unificação surge a partir de desafios administrativos e de gestão relacionados à administração de recursos pedagógicos comuns como uma Equipe de Monitoria Compartilhada, Plataforma Moodle única e Avaliações Unificadas, devido a possibilidade de economias de escala. As unidades que não adotam esse tipo de solução não parecem sofrer com essa dificuldade de gestão de forma tão intensa ou acreditam que as perdas de autonomia ou possíveis custos de implementação do programa, associados aos seus conteúdos específicos, não o tornam eficiente. Por fim, discutiu-se os incentivos na gestão universitária de uma política orçamentária que não considera esse tipo de disciplina de forma explícita.
Ciclos políticos latino-americanos: uma análise de impacto econômico em anos eleitorais
Authors: Vieira Gustavo , Rezzieri Marchezini Beatriz , Murer Kull Montagner Oto , Covaes Nogarotto Danilo
Published: June 2024

O presente trabalho foi empenhado em realizar dois objetivos. Primeiro, coletar e expor de forma suscinta uma série de artigos que foram se complementando ao longo do tempo, em torno da temática de influência eleitoral sobre resultados fiscais e econômicos. O segundo ponto foi testar a hipótese de explicação de variáveis de resultados fiscais anuais (gastos de governo e tributação) juntamente com variáveis de resultados privados anuais (influxo de investimentos estrangeiros e formação bruta de capital fixo privado), ambos sincronizados pelos anos eleitorais por uma variável dummy, sobre os resultados observados para os parâmetros macroeconômicos de variação de produto nacional per capita, taxa de desemprego e taxa de inflação, em 19 países latino-americanos entre os anos de 1975 e 2017. O principal resultado deste trabalho foi acerca do parâmetro eleitoral, que mostrou interação significativa com a estimação de gastos de governo, e que pode ser interpretado pela existência de protagonismo estatal na condução de expansão e melhoramentos industriais nos anos estudados.
Mediações sócio-técnicas nas políticas públicas durante a pandemia da Covid-19 na Província de Córdoba (Argentina) em 2020
Authors: Giraudo Marina , Blanca Ayelén
Published: June 2024

O contexto de emergência resultante da Covid-19 destacou as capacidades dos Estados nacionais de projetar e implementar políticas públicas no contexto de altos níveis de incerteza e desigualdades estruturais. A vontade do Estado argentino de alcança-las com transferências centralizadas de recursos para residências e empresas foi expressa em duas das mais importantes políticas públicas durante 2020: a Renda Familiar de Emergência e a Assistência Emergencial ao Trabalho e à Produção. Neste estudo propõe-se uma análise crítica do conjunto de mediações sociais, políticas, institucionais e técnicas que acompanharam a implementação destas duas políticas. Duas estratégias complementares foram realizadas nesta pesquisa: por um lado, a análise dos decretos e documentos que acompanharam a implementação destas políticas; por outro, a realização e análise de entrevistas destinadas a pesquisar tanto a experiência dos beneficiários (potenciais e reais) quanto a dos funcionários e mediadores não estatais (pessoas ligadas a organizações sociais e religiosas, partidos políticos e instituições estatais, associações empresariais, bancos e sindicatos) envolvidos nos processos de divulgação, registro, monitoramento, aconselhamento e acompanhamento/recepção de reivindicações. O papel das mediações técnicas envolvidas na concepção e implementação da assistência também foi estudado. Com base nas conclusões para o espaço subnacional da Província de Córdoba, Argentina, refletimos sobre o conjunto de delimitações, procedimentos e participantes que intervieram para facilitar e/ou dificultar o acesso às políticas públicas em um contexto de urgência.

A Democracia Impedida: o Brasil no século XXI é o último livro escrito por Guilherme Wanderley dos Santos, eminente cientista político brasileiro, falecido em 25 de outubro de 2019. Foi produzido no calor dos acontecimentos do impedimento do mandato da Presidenta Dilma Rousseff, do Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT), em agosto de 2016 pelo parlamento brasileiro. Ao contrário do que se poderia supor, o livro não foca a conjuntura política, antes, oferece ao leitor uma densa análise sobre a realidade sociopolítica brasileira contemporânea. Mas, primeiro percorre as oligarquias representativas europeias existentes antes da segunda guerra mundial e depois chega na construção das democracias representativas de massa da atualidade, incluindo a do Brasil.
Voronoi Diagram-based USBL Outlier Rejection for AUV Localization
Authors: Sim Hyeonmin , Joe Hangil
Published: June 2024

USBL systems are essential for providing accurate positions of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). On the other hand, the accuracy can be degraded by outliers because of the environmental conditions. A failure to address these outliers can significantly impact the reliability of underwater localization and navigation systems. This paper proposes a novel outlier rejection algorithm for AUV localization using Voronoi diagrams and query point calculation. The Voronoi diagram divides data space into Voronoi cells that center on ultra-short baseline (USBL) data, and the calculated query point determines if the corresponding USBL data is an inlier. This study conducted experiments acquiring GPS and USBL data simultaneously and optimized the algorithm empirically based on the acquired data. In addition, the proposed method was applied to a sensor fusion algorithm to verify its effectiveness, resulting in improved pose estimations. The proposed method can be applied to various sensor fusion algorithms as a preprocess and could be used for outlier rejection for other 2D-based location sensors.

Smart Princesses, Clever Choices. The Deconstruction of the Cinderella Paradigm and the Shaping of Female Cultural Identity in Adult and Children's Contemporary Rewritings of Fairy Tales
Authors: Tosi Laura
Published: June 2024

As a hybrid or transitional genre, intended for children and adults alike, the fairy tale has been the object of investigation of several critical approaches. Feminist critics and writers, for example, have collaborated in the critical exposure of fairy tales as narratives voicing mainly patriarchal values by providing critical readings which investigate the social construction of gender involving power relations, as well as by writing adult and children's versions of traditional fairy tales in an attempt to express a non-sexist view of the world. Postmodernist rewritings by Carter, Atwood and others challenge accepted cultural paradigms which posit passivity, endurance and jealousy as essential qualities for women to be assimilated into the adult community. A similar process is currently talcing place in children's literature, where a growing tendency to re-tell princess stories which dispense with marriage-dominated plots and the traditional equation between beauty and goodness, can be detected. In these rewritings fairy-tale discourse becomes emancipatory and innovative, rather than a reinforcement of patriarchal culture.
The Directive-Commissive Continuum
Authors: Lorena Pérez Hernández
Published: June 2024

In recent years, linguistics has increasingly focused its interest on the realm of texts, trying to find in them links of a similar nature to those working in sentences. An important contribution in this respect was that of Danes (1974), who used the term “Thematic progression” to refer to the “choice and ordering of utterance themes” in a given passage. However, in my opinion, thematic progression only indicates the connections between the different textual segments without clarifying their nature. This article wishes to provide thematic progression with the necessary means to identify the relations established in a text, and for that purpose I will use both its cohesive resources (Halliday and Hasan 1976) and its semantic relations (Alcaraz 1982). The network we obtain is shown graphically with the help of an extended notation system.
Everything You Always Hated About Thatcher's Britain: A Cultural Analysis of Mike Leigh's High Hopes (1988)
Authors: Cornut-Gentille D'Arcy Chantal
Published: June 2024

This paper starts from a definition of culture that is set in the realm of cultural studies. Broadly speaking, cultural critics see Culture as both lived experience (i.e meaning making of individuals) and social construction. Hence the deduction that we cannot live social reality outside of the cultural forms through which we make sense of it. Along with and as a consequence of this assumption, no text, practice or event can be severed off from its contextual connections since, as Stuart Hall claims (1997: 25-46), the meaning ofa cultural form is always the product of the text's "articulations", of the web of coruiotations and codes into which it is inserted. Such a view is essential to a productive understanding of Mike Leigh's High Hopes (1988) -a film which, at first sight, appears to be no more than a weird comedy about ordinary people doing ordinary things. For this reason, only a "radical contextualising" of both Thatcher's years in power and of the (visual) text itself will help apprehend Leigh's film as a real-life, political and ideological manifestation of what it felt to be alive at a particular time and place, i.e Britain in the eighties. My analysis of the film will show how the social tone and class tensions developed during the period are conveyed through the humorous portrayal of the actions, interactions and intimacy of three different couples.
Europa in Wonderland: Gobling Market or Sappho's Gymnasium
Authors: Douka Kabitoglou Ekaterini
Published: June 2024

Europa, the ‘godmother’ of Europe, operates as a hostess and ‘instructor’ in the diachronic journey over the European pedagogic landscape that is attempted in this presentation, initiating us into an adventure in the educational wonderland which begins at the topos of her ‘adopted’ country: Greece. Taking for granted that for the Greeks education was based on a profound relationship between two people, one young and the other mature, who was at once model, guide and initiator, and moreover that it adopted a cult of the Muses seeking wisdom through an aesthetic and ‘erotic’ approach to life, Sappho and Socrates are introduced as paradigms of the Greek system of schooling. Socrates’ educational ‘opponents’, the Sophists, are seen as the founders of utilitarianism, forerunners of the modern commercialism of education.Christina Rossetti’s poem Goblin Market is used (because of its multi-layered title suggesting the triumph of a ‘commodity’ morality) as the bridge to carry us to the present condition of the European university. Tracing the steps that have led to the formation of the European Higher Education Area, the presentation highlights the gradual transformation of education from a public ‘good’ to a marketable ‘product’. Attending to voices of dissent (expressed by members of ESSE) and setting the whole problem in a larger philosophical context, we can hear a Socratic echo in Heidegger, Gadamer, and Derrida who profess the ‘questioning’ attitude as the only form of knowledge. Hoping that ‘memory’ may reveal forgotten signs from the past to guide us through the schizoid split tormenting today’s academy, we return with Olga Broumas to “Sappho’s Gymnasium” lest that ‘maternal’ presence may give/be the answer.
"I do not wish to be valled auctour, but the pore compilatour": The Plight of the Medieval Vernacular Poet
Authors: Graham D. Caie
Published: June 2024

This paper looks at changing attitudes to the role of the vernacular author in the 14th and early 15th century England and Scotland. The title of auctour was previously reserved for the writer of Latin theological works, while the vernacular writer hid behind several guises such as anonymity or the dream vision, and considers himself simply a modest compiler or translator of the work of others. The shift to self-confident author can be traced not only in what they wrote, but in how they presented their work in manuscripts. For that reason I shall be looking at codicological evidence, in particular the writing material, the different scripts, the mise-en-page (which had an interpretative function), glosses and other clues which point to the intrinsic value of the text in its manuscript context. Chaucer, Henryson and Gower are studied in detail, as they went to great lengths to ensure that their work appeared on parchment as authoritative texts, which suggests that, in spite of modesty protests, they considered themselves in their own lifetime to be auctoures.
Algunas consideraciones sobre la propuesta de análisis de la cohesión léxica de M. Hoey
Authors: Ana Díaz Galán
Published: June 2024

El modelo de cohesión léxica de M. Hoey (1991) ofrece herramientas útiles para analizar la organización interna de los textos mediante la identificación de sus conexiones léxicas. Basándose en investigaciones previas sobre la aplicabilidad del método, este artículo pretende ofrecer una visión de sus entresijos y, al mismo tiempo, explorar algunos aspectos formales que parecen necesitar cierta revisión. Aunque se trata de un medio muy válido para describir patrones textuales y no de un fin en sí mismo, la fase inicial del método, la identificación y clasificación de las repeticiones léxicas, plantea problemas prácticos relativos a la elipsis, la sustitución o la correferencia y, dentro de estas últimas, concretamente, al análisis de los elementos textuales. También se examinan otros aspectos prácticos, como el tratamiento de la catáfora o el uso de artefactos como el triángulo de enlace.
colección cervantina editada por los Sancha
Authors: González Moreno Fernando
Published: June 2024

Las ediciones cervantinas de Antonio de Sancha y de su hijo Gabriel no pueden estudiarse como labores puntuales o aisladas, sino que formaron parte de un programa extenso y complejo desarrollado a lo largo de varias décadas; un proyecto destinado a la recuperación y divulgación de la memoria literaria y biográfica de Cervantes mucho más ambicioso que la afamada edición de la Academia de 1780. Esta investigación propone un estudio completo de las diferentes ediciones cervantinas de Sancha prestando especial atención a sus ilustradores. Desde los Trabajos de Persiles y Sigismunda. Historia setentrional (Madrid: Don Antonio de Sancha, 1781), con diseños de José Antonio Ximeno y Antonio Carnicero grabados por Fernando Selma, José Joaquín Fábregat, Juan Moreno Tejada, Simón Brieva y Diego Díaz hasta los Quijotes de 1797-98 —con diseños de Agustín Navarro, José Camarón, Rafael Ximeno y Luis Paret y Alcázar grabados por Pierre Duflos, Mme Duflos y Juan Moreno Tejada— y de 1798-99, con diseños de Luis Paret y Alcázar y Francisco Alcántara grabados por Juan Moreno Tejada y Blas Ametller. La labor editorial cervantina de los Sancha, sin duda alguna, sobrepasó a la de la Academia e Ibarra de 1780. Ensombrecida por esta, sin embargo, pocas veces se defiende su incomparable aportación gráfica, que fue mucho más allá del Quijote y alcanzó obras que nunca antes habían sido ilustradas y que, en algunos casos, tampoco volvieron a serlo. Los Sancha lograron así confeccionar la primera colección cervantina ilustrada.
WPŁYW RYZYKA KLIMATYCZNEGO NA PROCESY INWESTYCYJNE W ELEKTROENERGETYCE – STUDIA PRZYPADKÓW ELEKTROWNI WĘGLOWYCH OSTROŁĘKA I JAWORZNO ORAZ ELEKTROWNI WIATROWEJ SZYMANKOWO

Cel. Dziejąca się transformacja energetyczna stanowi istotne wyzwanie dla polskiego sektora elektroenergetycznego. Luka inwestycyjna w obszarze elektroenergetycznych aktywów wytwórczych w Polsce wymaga przeprowadzenia wielkoskalowych projektów inwestycyjnych obejmujących nowe źródła wytwórcze. Kluczowym aspektem każdej inwestycji elektroenergetycznej jest ryzyko inwestycyjne, które w tym sektorze w sposób szczególny jest związane z ryzykiem klimatycznym i finansowym. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest wykazanie zasadniczego wpływu ryzyka klimatycznego i ryzyka finansowego na powodzenie projektów inwestycyjnych w elektroenergetyczne aktywa wytwórcze.
Metoda. Przeprowadzono trzy studia przypadku, dla których określono poziom ryzyka inwestycyjnego ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem ryzyka klimatycznego i wyników analizy ekonomicznej opłacalności inwestycji. Dokonano także przeglądu literatury oraz dokumentów spółek energetycznych i aktów prawnych.
Wyniki. W dobie kryzysu energetycznego i prowadzonej polityki energetyczno-klimatycznej, niemożliwe stało się ukończenie montażu finansowego ze źródeł zewnętrznych dla nowych jednostek węglowych, co zostało przedstawione na przykładzie nieudanej inwestycji w Ostrołęce. Ignorowanie ryzyka klimatycznego jak i wyników rachunku efektywności inwestycji doprowadziło do przerwania projektu i wygenerowania kosztów utopionych. Obecne uwarunkowania rynkowe w sektorze wydatnie wspierają inwestycje w odnawialne źródła energii, jako zbieżne z zasadami zrównoważonego rozwoju. Jednakże polski system elektroenergetyczny obecnie znajduje się w takiej sytuacji, że konieczne jest także inwestowanie w wielkoskalowe jednostki wytwórcze celem zapewnienia bezpieczeństwa dostaw energii elektrycznej, zwłaszcza w obecnej sytuacji kryzysu energetycznego w Europie.
Modeling and identification of the Peltier element TEC1-12706 for use in low-volume bioreactors of the artificial gastrointestinal tract of fish

The bioreactor of a static mini-model of the artificial gastrointestinal tract of fish will provide modeling of processes in the gastrointestinal tract of industrially grown fish (carp, trout, and sturgeon). The study aimed to determine the thermodynamic processes occurring in the bioreactor and the possibility of using the thermoelectric converter TEC1‑12706 in the temperature control system of the bioreactor. The temperature in a bioreactor with a volume of up to 200 ml should vary from 45 to 14℃, the accuracy of maintaining the temperature is 0.1℃. As a result, a mathematical model was obtained with an adjustment according to the identified system parameters, which makes it possible to evaluate thermodynamic processes in the bioreactor, select hardware and create its general mathematical model. The parameters of the Peltier element were identified using a prototype layout measuring the temperature of the cold side of the converter, the hot radiator, the environment, the temperature of the liquid in the reactor, and the current consumed. The operation of the real system took place at an external temperature of 28.31℃; all physical drives were in the temperature equilibrium and under the same initial conditions. A comparison of temperature changes in the real system and the mathematical model obtained as a result of identifying the parameters of the Peltier element showed a non-perfect match of values, but the nature of the temperature change is identical. The following conclusions have been drawn: in the mathematical model, it is necessary to take into account additional drives and flows describing non-ideal conditions of experimental data, for example, thermal reflection of the working surface of the table and partial reflection of air flows. One third of the maximum converter power is sufficient to reduce the temperature of the filled bioreactor by 2 to 3℃. Thus, the thermoelectric converter TEC1‑12706 can be used in an in vitro modeling system of the gastrointestinal tract of fish.
Structured Linear Systems and Their Iterative Solutions Through Fuzzy Poisson's Equation

Published: June 2024

A realistic version of the modified successive overrelaxation (MSOR) with four relaxation parameters is introduced (MMSOR) with application to a representative matrix partition. The one-dimensional Poisson’s equation with fuzzy boundary values is the standard source problem for our treatment (it is sufficient to introduce all the concepts in a simple form). The finite difference method with RedBlack (RB)-Labelling of the grid points is used to introduce a fuzzy algebraic system with characterized fuzzy weak solutions (corresponding to black grid points). We introduce the algorithmic structure and the implementation of MMSOR on the de-fuzzified linear system. The choice of relaxation parameters is based on the minimum Spectral Radius (SR) of the iteration matrices. A comparison with SOR (one relaxation parameter) and MSOR (two relaxation parameters) is considered, and a relation between the three methods is revealed. Assuming the same accuracy, the experimental results showed that the MMSOR runs faster than the SOR and the MSOR methods.

Authors: Durmuş İrfan
Published: June 2024

Kültürel diplomasi bağlamında ülkelerin iktisadi, siyasi politikalarının ve kültürlerinin başka ülkelerin insanlarına benimsetilmesi ve küresel egemen güç haline getirilmesinde sinemanın gücünün ideolojik anlamda kullanıldığı bilinmektedir. Sinema, filmler aracılığıyla kültürlerarası diyalog kurmayı da sağlamaktadır. Bu bağlamda, yerli ve yabancı film festivalleri gibi organizasyonlar kültürlerarası diyaloğun teşvik edilmesi, başka uluslar nezdinde ülke markası ve imajına yönelik algının geliştirilmesi bakımdan işlevsel olabilmektedir. Film festivallerinde yönetmenlerin ve filmlerinin elde ettikleri başarılar ve ödüller de kültürel diplomasi faaliyetlerinin önemli bir aracı olarak değerlendirilebilir. Dolayısıyla bu çalışma, Türk yönetmen, senarist ve yapımcı Nuri Bilge Ceylan’ın ve filmlerinin Türkiye’nin kültürel diplomasisine katkısını araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden betimsel analiz tekniğinden faydalanılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında elde edilen veriler, doküman incelemesi yoluyla toplanmıştır. Nuri Bilge Ceylan’ın toplam 10 filminden sekizi 9 kez Cannes Film Festivali’nde, ikisi de Berlin Film Festivali’nde gösterilmiştir. Cannes’ta başta büyük ödül Altın Palmiye olmak üzere çeşitli kategorilerde 6 ödül kazanmıştır. Yurt dışında birçok film festivalinde de ödüller kazanmıştır. Bu doğrultuda Ceylan’ın, Türk sinemasının ve Türkiye’nin görünürlüğünü artırması bakımından diplomaside önemli bir role sahip olduğunu söylemek mümkündür.
Private Query Release via the Johnson-Lindenstrauss Transform
Authors: Nikolov Aleksandar
Published: June 2024

We introduce a new method for releasing answers to statistical queries with differential privacy, based on the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma. The key idea is to randomly project the query answers to a lower dimensional space so that the distance between any two vectors of feasible query answers is preserved up to an additive error. Then we answer the projected queries using a simple noise-adding mechanism, and lift the answers up to the original dimension. Using this method, we give, for the first time, purely differentially private mechanisms with optimal worst case sample complexity under average error for answering a workload of $k$ queries over a universe of size $N$. As other applications, we give the first purely private efficient mechanisms with optimal sample complexity for computing the covariance of a bounded high-dimensional distribution, and for answering 2-way marginal queries. We also show that, up to the dependence on the error, a variant of our mechanism is nearly optimal for every given query workload.
Modeling segregated insitu combustion processes through a vertical displacement model applied to a Colombian field
Authors: Guerra Aristizábal José Julián , Grosso Vargas Jorge Luis
Published: June 2024

Recently it has been proposed the incorporation of horizontal well technologies in thermal EOR processes like the in situ combustion process (ISC). This has taken to the conception of new recovery mechanisms named here as Segregated In-Situ Combustion processes which are conventional in-situ combustion process with a segregated flow component. Top/Down combustion, Combustion Override Splitproduction Horizontal-well and Toe-to-Heel Air Injection are three of these processes, which incorporate horizontal producers and gravity drainage phenomena. When applied to thick reservoirs a process of this nature could be reasonably modeled under concepts of conventional In-Situ Combustion and Crestal Gas Injection, especially for heavy oils mobile at reservoir conditions. A process of this nature has been studied through an analytic model conceived for the particular conditions of the Castilla Field, a homogeneous thick anticline structure containing high mobility heavy oil which seems to be an excellent candidate for the application of these technologies.
Aplication of genetics algorithms as an optimization tool in optimizing infill wells and the development of channels in fluvial deposit reservoirs

Published: June 2024

Optimization of the exploitation of an oil field requires implementing the most advanced techniques aimed at the increase of its production. Among them, drilling new development wells (infill wells) stands out. Defining the most adequate location for such wells is a complex process, due to diverse geological characteristics of the reservoir, and to the high uncertainty associated to the spatial distribution of the hydrocarbon storing flow units. This article presents the development of an alternative and innovative simulation alternative, which allows locating flow channels by means of integrating geo-statistical modeling and evolutional computation. The architecture of the geological model is defined by variables which are coded in a binary system, which represent the chromosomes of the genetic algorithm, and represent the characteristic facies of a reservoir with fluvial origin (channel sand, point bars, natural levee, crevasse splay, and floodplain shale). As the product of the genetic algorithm optimization, a facies model is obtained, in which the best channel layout is obtained within the reservoir, allowing better knowledge of the spatial distribution of flow units and the hydrocarbon accumulation zones. The correct implementation of this simulation tool facilitates the location of the most adequate sites for the implementation of infill well drilling, new zone perforating, re - perforating programs and enhanced oil recovery process, carrying to maximization of hydrocarbon recovery factor in mature reservoirs.
