The protective role of dissolved carbon dioxide against wine oxidation: a simple and rational approach
Authors: Devatine Audrey , Chiciuc Igor , Mietton-Peuchot Martine
Published: October 2016

Aims: During wine making, oxygen and carbon dioxide are often simultaneously present in the liquid phase. We propose a simple rational approach, based on usual chemical engineering and thermodynamic principles, to provide understanding and practical rules for controlling the effects of these two dissolved gases, and especially their inter-relationship. Furthermore, this study proposes an explanation for the “protective” effect against oxidation, which is reported when high concentrations of carbon dioxide are present in musts and wines.

Methods and results: The theoretical quantitative relation, termed “binary gas equilibrium line”, between the maximum possible concentration of dissolved oxygen in respect to dissolved carbon dioxide was derived and, in our experiments, corresponded to CO2max ≅ -0,005 CCO2 + 7,9 mg.L-1. Specific saturation experiments using simultaneous injection of air and gaseous carbon dioxide were performed and the experimental results allowed us to validate this theory in the case of gas bubbling in a liquid.

Conclusion: It is shown that complete protection is only obtained when carbon dioxide is generated by the fermentation in the liquid. An interesting parallel conclusion is that micro-oxygenation is totally inefficient in such periods. In the case where there is no production of CO2 but where a high initial dissolved carbon dioxide concentration is present, the “protective” effect acts only by reducing the rate of oxygen transfer.

Significance and impact of the study: The physical understanding of this phenomenon can be found in the fact that as soon as a gaseous air or pure oxygen phase is in contact with a carbon dioxide saturated liquid, the dissolved carbon dioxide, which is not at equilibrium with the gaseous phase, tends to escape into this gaseous phase. This study points out the complexity of the gas-liquid equilibrium when two dissolved gases are simultaneously present in a liquid and its implication in the winemaking process.
Timing of cluster-zone leaf removal and its impact on canopy morphology, cluster structure and bunch rot susceptibility of grapes
Authors: Molitor Daniel , Behr Marc , Fischer Serge , Hoffmann Lucien , Evers Danièle
Published: October 2016

Aims: Leaf removal in the cluster-zone has proved to be an efficient option to reduce grey mould infestation. The aim of the present work was to determine the optimal timing of this measure in practical viticulture.

Methods and results: Manual leaf removal in the cluster-zone was carried out at six time points between pre-bloom (BBCH 57) and veraison (BBCH 81) on the white varieties Sauvignon blanc (2009), Auxerrois (2009), Pinot gris (2010) and Riesling (2010). Leaf removal conducted between bloom and berries-touching led to a decreased number of interior clusters as well as a reduced cluster compactness and disease severity of B. cinerea. Prebloom and late (at veraison) leaf removal turned out to be less efficient.

Conclusion: Leaf removal between bloom and berries-touching proved to be very efficient to control bunch rot due to (i) the disaggregation of the cluster structure and (ii) the improved microclimatic conditions and can be recommended in integrated as well as organic viticulture.

Significance and impact of the study: The outcome of the present study constitutes an important tool for improving grape health status and, in consequence, wine quality under cool climate winegrowing conditions.
Ampelography - An old technique with future uses: the case of minor varieties of Vitis vinifera L. from the Balearic Islands
Authors: Garcia-Muñoz Sonia , Muñoz-Organero Gregorio , De Andrés María Teresa , Cabello Félix
Published: October 2016

Aims: We report the genetic, phenological, agronomic and ampelographic characterization of 27 minor grapevine accessions (Vitis vinifera L.) from the Balearic Islands (Spain). The influence of occasional climatic phenomena (hailstorm) and the ampelographer’s experience on these characteristics was studied.

Methods and results: In 2006 and 2007, grapevine accessions were analyzed using 57 OIV (Office International de la Vigne et du Vin) qualitative and quantitative descriptors and six microsatellite loci (SSR). Ampelography is a good preliminary technique for the identification of plant material, since the ampelographic description carried out showed a high degree of similarity between the repetitions of one single accession (higher than 90%), confirming the microsatellite results. The colour of the young leaf’s upper side (OIV-051), the juiciness of the flesh (OIV-232) and the firmness of berry flesh (OIV-235) were the most difficult characters to distinguish by ampelographers. In spite of the greater similarity found among the varieties studied, there were a few strong discriminant characters (OIV-225, OIV-084, OIV-053, and OIV-004). In addition, the ampelographic descriptions, agronomic parameters and phenology were influenced by hailstorm.

Conclusions: The combination of morphological and molecular characterizations of 27 accessions collected in the Balearic Islands (Spain) allowed their classification into 17 different vine varieties. The genetic analysis identified Beba blanca as a possible somatic mutant derived from Beba roja. The hailstorm increased the vegetative period and mostly affected mature leaves, bunches, agronomic characteristics and must composition.

Significance and impact of the study: The present work characterizes, for the first time, the ampelographic and molecular profiles of these minor varieties. It is provide agronomic information about old cultivars never published before which could be interesting for the grape growers.
Numerical Simulation of a Vortex Combustor Based on Aluminum and Steam
Authors: Chen Xianhe , Xia Zhixun , Huang Liya , Ma Likun
Published: October 2016

In this paper we report a new development on the numerical model for aluminum-steam combustion. This model is based on diffusion flame of continuum regime and the thermal equilibrium between the particle and the flow field, which can be used to calculate the aluminum particle combustion model for two phase calculation conditions. The model prediction is in good agreement with the experimental data. A new type of vortex combustor was proposed for the combustion of aluminum and steam, and the mathematical model of the two phase reacting flow with in this combustor was established. The turbulence effects are modeled using the Reynolds Stress Model (RSM) with Linear Pressure-Strain approach, and the Eddy-Dissipation model is used to simulate the gas phase combustion. Aluminum particles are injected into the vortex combustor and form a swirling flow around the chamber and their trajectories are traced using the Discrete Phase Model (DPM). The simulation results show that the vortex combustor can achieve high efficient combustion of aluminum and steam. The influencing factors, such as the eccentric distance of the inlet of aluminum particles, particle size and steam inlet diameter, etc., are studied. The work described in this paper represents an attempt to the design of a vortex combustor in order to increase aluminum combustion efficiency.
Comparison of Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Performance Using Image Processing
Authors: Cano Esteban , Horton Ryan , Liljegren Chase , Bulanon Duke M.
Published: October 2016

Precision agriculture is a farm management technology that involves sensing and then responding to the observed variability in the field. Remote sensing is one of the tools of precision agriculture. The emergence of small unmanned aerial vehicles (sUAV) have paved the way to accessible remote sensing tools for farmers. This paper describes the comparison of two popular off-the-shelf sUAVs: 3DR Iris and DJI Phantom 2. Both units are equipped with a camera gimbal attached with a GoPro camera. The comparison of the two sUAV involves a hovering test and a rectilinear motion test. In the hovering test, the sUAV was allowed to hover over a known object and images were taken every second for two minutes. The position of the object in the images was measured and this was used to assess the stability of the sUAV while hovering. In the rectilinear test, the sUAV was allowed to follow a straight path and images of a lined track were acquired. The lines on the images were then measured on how accurate the sUAV followed the path. Results showed that both sUAV performed well in both the hovering test and the rectilinear motion test. This demonstrates that both sUAVs can be used for agricultural monitoring.
Two Genetic Codes: Repetitive Syntax for Active non-Coding RNAs; non-Repetitive Syntax for the DNA Archives
Authors: Witzany Guenther
Published: October 2016

Current knowledge of the RNA world indicates two different genetic codes being present throughout the living world. In contrast to non-coding RNAs that are built of repetitive nucleotide syntax, the sequences that serve as templates for proteins share – as main characteristics – a non-repetitive syntax. The differences in their syntax structure is coherent with the difference of the functions they represent. Whereas non-coding RNAs build groups that serve as regulatory tools in nearly all genetic processes, the coding sections represent the evolutionarily successful function of the genetic information storage medium. The DNA genomes themselves are rather inactive, whereas the non-coding RNA domain is highly active, even as non-random genetic innovation operators. This indicates that repetitive syntax is the essential pre-requisite for RNA interactions to install variable RNA-group-identities, whereas the non-repetitive syntax serves as a stable conservation tool for successful selection processes out of RNA-groups cooperation and competition. The interaction opportunities of RNA loops with repetitive syntax are higher than with non-repetitive ones. Interestingly, these two genetic codes resemble the function of all natural languages, i.e., (a) everyday language use for organization and coordination of biotic group behavior, and (b) artificial (instrumental) language use for conservation of blueprints for complex protein-body constructions.

Kabupaten Bangkalan is a gateway that has been connected Madura island with Surabaya City, the capital city of East Java Province,  through Suramadu bridge. This study investigates the pattern of labor demand in Bangkalan. The pattern of labor demand is very important to be known, especially by Division of Social, Manpower and Transmigration Bangkalan, the authorized which provide guidance and address the labor problems

The method used is technically primary data collection through surveys and interviews to the company (employer) in five main districts, namely District of Bangkalan, District of Socah, District of Kamal, District of Labang and District of Burneh. The purpose of this study to know the pattern of demand for labor in Bangkalan so that The Bangkalan Agency of Social, Manpower and Transmigration can use the results of such research in developing planning strategies more better targeted.
Based on the survey, in 2016 is expected to increase the labor demand at high school education level who initially was balanced between primary education and highschool education level of workers. Likewise, in 2017 and 2018 was still dominated by the high school education level of workers, followed by undergraduate level. Recommendations from this study is the need for attention and follow-up of the The Bangkalan Agency of Social, Manpower and Transmigration to be able to open a Training Center more in some locations, especially Training Centre at the district level to train the workforce skills at the level of high school education, and implement the Job Fair in order to facilitate labor undergraduate level to get a job.
Deriving Effective Soil Water Retention Characteristics from Shallow Water Table Fluctuations in Peatlands
Authors: Dettmann Ullrich , Bechtold Michel
Published: October 2016

Core Ideas

This is a new approach for determining in situ peat soil water retention characteristics.

It only requires data on water table changes, precipitation, and microrelief.

Water table rises are used to invert for water retention parameters.

Applicability is demonstrated for field data from a peatland.

This approach should be applicable to other shallow groundwater systems.

We have developed a novel and simple approach that can be used to derive effective in situ soil water retention characteristics from field monitoring time series in peatlands. The simplicity of the approach is given by the very limited data requirements, which comprise only precipitation, water table, and, if relevant, microrelief data. Our approach is built on two main assumptions: (i) for shallow groundwater systems, the soil moisture profile is always close to hydrostatic equilibrium; and (ii) during short time periods of high precipitation, the water storage change due to lateral fluxes is small compared with the precipitation input. Given these assumptions, the height of a water table rise due to a precipitation event mainly depends on the soil water retention characteristics, the precipitation amount, the initial water table depth, and, if present, the microrelief. In this study, this dependency was used to determine the effective van Genuchten parameters by Bayesian inversion assuming a uniform soil profile. We applied our concept to field data from a peatland with microrelief. Results indicated that observations of water table rises caused by precipitation events can contain sufficient information to constrain the soil water retention characteristics around monitoring wells in peatlands to plausible ranges. In principle, the approach should also be applicable to other shallow groundwater systems. Application limits and potential systematic errors are discussed.

Meeting the challenge of providing flexible learning opportunities: Considerations for technology adoption amongst academic staff | Relever le défi de fournir des occasions d’apprentissage flexibles : considérations pour l’adoption de la technologie
Authors: Mirriahi Negin , Vaid Bhuvinder Singh , Burns David P
Published: October 2016

This paper reports on a subset of findings from a larger study investigating resistance from academic staff to the integration of technology with on-campus foreign language teaching at one North American higher education institution. The study revealed that the factors influencing technology adoption paralleled Davis’ Technology Acceptance Model’s tenets of perceived usefulness and ease of use. Further, this study supports Lai and Savage’s (2013) assertion of a lack of attention to the pedagogical affordances of technology when adoption decisions are made by instructors, thus we highlight the need for higher education leaders to determine strategies promoting awareness of the benefits technology-enabled teaching and learning can bring to advance educationally-rich flexible learning opportunities. Cet article traite d’un sous-ensemble de résultats provenant d’une étude plus vaste ayant enquêté sur la résistance des universitaires envers l’intégration de la technologie à l’enseignement en langue étrangère sur le campus dans un établissement nord-américain d’études supérieures. L’étude a révélé que les facteurs ayant une influence sur l’adoption de la technologie coïncident avec les principes du modèle d’acceptation de la technologie de Davis sur l’utilité perçue et la facilité d’utilisation. De plus, cette étude appuie l’assertion de Lai et Savage (2013) d’un manque d’attention envers les affordances pédagogiques de la technologie lorsque les décisions d’adoption sont prises par les formateurs. Nous soulignons donc le besoin, pour les meneurs de l’éducation supérieure, de déterminer les stratégies qui favorisent la connaissance des avantages de l’enseignement et de l’apprentissage que permet la technologie pour faire progresser les occasions d’apprentissage flexibles et riches sur le plan éducatif.
Implementing Game Design in School: A Working Example | Mise en œuvre de la conception de jeu à l’école : un exemple pratique
Authors: Herro Dani C.
Published: October 2016

This case uses a worked or “working example” model (Gee, 2010), documenting the implementation of a novel game design curriculum in the United States. Created by an Instructional Technology Administrator (ITA) and two classroom teachers, it was subsequently offered to high school students. With an aim of providing in-depth understanding of conditions necessary to bring game design experiences to classrooms, the research describes the context while revealing processes and instructor perceptions of the experience. Data collection and analysis in this working example include observation, teacher interviews, student surveys, and artifacts intended to make thinking and practices overt while inviting scholarly conversation around the curriculum’s successes and failures. Drawing on a previous case focused on initial course planning and early implementation (Author, 2013), this paper advances insight regarding the process of moving game design into schooling and concludes with a discussion of educational implications. Cette étude se sert d’un modèle « d’exemple concret » (Gee, 2010) pour documenter la mise en œuvre d’un programme de conception de jeu aux États-Unis. Créé par un technopédagogue et deux titulaires de classe, le programme a ensuite été offert à des élèves du secondaire. Visant à fournir une compréhension approfondie des conditions requises pour l’intégration des expériences de conception de jeu en classe, l’étude décrit le contexte et révèle les processus et les perceptions qu’a tirés l’instructeur de l’expérience. La collecte de données et l’analyse dans cet exemple concret comprennent l’observation, des entrevues avec les enseignants, des sondages auprès des élèves et des artefacts ayant pour but de rendre manifestes la réflexion et les pratiques tout en stimulant la conversation savante à propos des réussites et des échecs du programme. S’appuyant sur une étude préalable qui mettait l’accent sur la planification initiale du cours et le début de sa mise en œuvre (Herro, 2013), cet article propose une perspective sur le processus d’intégration de la conception de jeu dans la formation et conclut avec une discussion portant sur les répercussions pédagogiques.
Student communication and study habits of first-year university students in the digital era | Communication étudiante et habitudes d’étude des étudiants universitaires de première année à l’époque numérique
Authors: Gallardo-Echenique Eliana Esther , Bullen Mark , Marqués-Molías Luis
Published: October 2016

This paper reports on research into how first-university students communicate with peers and professors and their general study habits and to examine the possible relationship between students’ use of digital technologies. The research is positioned in the interpretive paradigm. We conclude that most students feel comfortable with digital technologies and they see Facebook/MySpace as more about connecting and interacting with friends than for academic communication. Results show that students prefer face-to-face communication for both academic/school and social communication. Regarding study habits, students prefer to learn by themselves, work independently and to study at home. Cet article présente la recherche sur les habitudes d’étude des étudiants universitaires, leur usage des technologies numériques et leur façon de communiquer entre eux et avec leurs professeurs. Nous concluons que la plupart des étudiants se sentent à l’aise avec les technologies numériques et qu’ils utilisent les médias sociaux pour leurs liens et interactions avec leurs amis plutôt que pour la communication scolaire. Les étudiants préfèrent les communications en personne en ce qui a trait aux communications scolaires et sociales et préfèrent apprendre par eux-mêmes, travailler de manière autonome et étudier à la maison.
A Case Study on Learning Difficulties and Corresponding Supports for Learning in cMOOCs | Une étude de cas sur les difficultés d’apprentissage et le soutien correspondant pour l’apprentissage dans les cMOOC
Authors: Li Shuang , Tang Qi , Zhang Yanxia
Published: October 2016

cMOOCs, which are based on connectivist learning theory, bring challenges for learners as well as opportunities for self-inquiry. Previous studies have shown that learners in cMOOCs may have difficulties learning, but these studies do not provide any in-depth, empirical explorations of student difficulties or support strategies. This paper presents a case study on student difficulties and support requirements at the beginning of a cMOOC. Content analysis of messages posted by learners and instructors in four main online course learning spaces including Moodle, blogs, Facebook and Twitter was conducted. Three questions are explored in this paper: (1) What kinds of difficulties do learners encounter at the beginning of a cMOOC?; (2) Which of these difficulties are typical for most learners?; and (3) How are these difficulties responded to and supported in the cMOOC environment? Based on the research results of this study, we provide some reflections on learning support for cMOOCs and a discussion of the research itself in the last part of the paper. Les cMOOC, qui s’appuient sur une théorie pédagogique connectiviste, soulèvent des défis pour les apprenants ainsi que des occasions de questionnement de soi. Des études préalables ont démontré que les apprenants des cMOOC peuvent connaître des difficultés d’apprentissage, mais ces études n’offrent pas d’exploration empirique en profondeur des difficultés des élèves ni des stratégies de soutien. Cet article présente une étude de cas sur les difficultés des élèves et les besoins de soutien au début d’un cMOOC. On a procédé à l’analyse du contenu des messages publiés par les apprenants et les instructeurs dans les quatre principaux espaces en ligne pour l’apprentissage, c’est-à-dire Moodle, les blogues, Facebook et Twitter. Cet article explore trois questions : (1) Quels types de difficultés rencontrent les apprenants au début d’un cMOOC?; (2) Parmi ces difficultés, lesquelles sont typiques pour la plupart des apprenants?; et (3) Comment réagit-on à ces difficultés et comment y remédie-t-on dans l’environnement du cMOOC? En nous appuyant sur les résultats de recherche de cette étude, nous offrons quelques réflexions sur le soutien pédagogique pour les cMOOC et une discussion sur la recherche elle-même dans la dernière partie de l’article.

The Use of Video in Knowledge Transfer of Teacher-Led Psychosocial Interventions: Feeling Competent to Adopt a Different Role in the Classroom / L’utilisation de la vidéo dans le transfert de connaissances dans les interventions psychosociales
Authors: Beauregard Caroline , Rousseau Cécile , Mustafa Sally
Published: October 2016

Because they propose a form of modeling, videos have been recognised to be useful to transfer knowledge about practices requiring teachers to adopt a different role. This paper describes the results of a satisfaction survey with 98 teachers, school administrators and professionals regarding their appreciation of training videos showing teacher-led psychosocial interventions. The association between teachers’ appreciation of the video and their desire to implement the intervention are explored in terms of authenticity, vicarious learning and self-efficacy, in an attempt to further comprehend how the use of video supports different aspects of modeling (skills - know-how, attitudes - know-how to be). The authors suggest that training videos featuring teachers leading psychosocial interventions support knowledge transfer because learners can relate to successful peers and can think of themselves as competent to replicate the intervention and comfortable to adopt a different role in the classroom. Parce qu’elles proposent une forme de modelage, les vidéos ont été reconnues comme utiles pour le transfert de connaissances au sujet des pratiques exigeant que les enseignants jouent un rôle différent. Cet article décrit les résultats d’une enquête sur la satisfaction réalisée auprès de 98 enseignants, administrateurs et professionnels scolaires quant à leur appréciation des vidéos de formation montrant des interventions psychosociales menées par des enseignants. Le lien entre l’appréciation de la vidéo par les enseignants et leur désir de mettre en pratique l’intervention est exploré en matière d’authenticité, d’apprentissage par procuration et d’auto-efficacité, pour tenter de mieux comprendre comment l’usage de la vidéo appuie différents aspects du modelage (aptitudes, savoir-faire, attitudes, savoir-être). Les auteurs suggèrent que les vidéos de formation montrant des enseignants menant des interventions psychosociales appuient le transfert de connaissances, car les apprenants peuvent s’identifier à des pairs qui réussissent et peuvent s’imaginer comme ayant la compétence pour reproduire l’intervention et être à l’aise d’adopter un rôle différent dans la salle de classe.
Student perceptions and lessons learned from flipping a masters level public health course | Perceptions des étudiants et leçons tirées d’une classe inversée pour un cours de maîtrise en santé environnementale et professionnelle
Authors: Galway Lindsay P. , Berry Barbara , Takaro Timothy
Published: October 2016

The flipped classroom instructional model has emerged as an alternative to conventional lecture-based teaching that has dominated higher education for decades. In 2013, a cohort of graduate-level public health students participated in a flipped environmental and occupational health course. We present the design, implementation, and evaluation of this course. Using data collected from a post-course survey, focus group sessions, and classroom observation, we examine student perceptions of the flipped classroom instructional model and synthesize lessons learned from flipping the classroom more broadly. Post-course survey data indicate that students had generally positive perceptions towards the flipped classroom instructional model. Four major themes emerged from the focus group data in relation to perceptions of the flipped classroom: knowledge application, content delivery, innovation, and connecting the online and in-class components. These results are promising and suggest that this approach warrants further consideration and research. Le modèle pédagogique de la classe inversée a émergé comme solution de rechange à l’enseignement traditionnel par cours magistraux qui a dominé l’éducation supérieure pendant des décennies. En 2013, une cohorte d’étudiants en santé publique aux cycles supérieurs a participé à un cours inversé sur la santé environnementale et professionnelle. Nous présentons la conception, la mise en œuvre et l’évaluation de ce cours. À l’aide de données recueillies par l’entremise d’un sondage après le cours, lors de séances de discussion en groupe et d’observation en classe, nous examinons les perceptions qu’ont les étudiants du modèle pédagogique de la classe inversée et résumons les leçons tirées qui sont pertinentes pour les cours inversés en général. Les données du sondage réalisé après le cours indiquent que les étudiants avaient des perceptions pour la plupart positives du modèle pédagogique de la classe inversée. Quatre thèmes principaux ont émergé des données du groupe de discussion relativement aux perceptions sur la classe inversée : mise en application des connaissances, diffusion du contenu, innovation et lien entre les composantes en ligne et en classe. Ces résultats sont prometteurs et suggèrent que cette approche devrait faire l’objet de plus de considération et de recherche.
Prevailing Lexical-stylistic Features in Emirati Language Learners’ Digital Discourse | Caractéristiques lexicales stylistiques dominantes dans le discours numérique des apprenants en langue émirienne
Authors: Grigoryan Tsoghik
Published: October 2016

Predicting the future path of the digital classroom discourse is twofold. Today’s language classroom is undergoing an irreversible revolution and one of the most powerful drivers of this transformation is ICT. Digital classroom not only exposes the learners to grammatical language of linguistics, but rather the everyday life of the language in use (Thurlow and Mroczek, 2011). The aim of this study was to explore the nature of free digital discourse in a digital language classroom and capture lexical-stylistic features used in students’ online conversations through Blackboard-learn discussion board. To identify common or unique features of digital discourse in a paperless language classroom and to show how they affect students’ speech behaviors, mixed method case study was used. Aujourd’hui, l’enseignement des langues est entraîné dans une hyperbole irréversible, et les TIC sont l’un des moteurs les plus puissants de cette transformation. Les salles de classe numériques exposent les apprenants non seulement à la grammaire linguistique, mais aussi à la vie quotidienne de la langue en usage (Thurlow et Mroczek, 2011). Le but de cette étude était d’explorer la nature du discours numérique gratuit sur iPad dans une salle de classe numérique pour l’apprentissage linguistique et de capter les caractéristiques lexicales stylistiques utilisées dans les communications en ligne des apprenants adolescents en langue émirienne. Cette approche mixte par étude de cas a mis en œuvre un cadre théorique de détection des sentiments sur une plateforme d’apprentissage sur tableau noir pour cerner les caractéristiques communes ou uniques du discours numérique dans une salle de classe dématérialisée et démontrer comment elles affectent les comportements linguistiques des élèves de langue maternelle émirienne.

Filosofía y literatura
Authors: Zagal Héctor
Published: October 2016

El objetivo de esta presentación es subrayar, por un lado, que existen interesantes e importantes relaciones entre la filosofía y la literatura y, por otro lado, que la división tajante o taxidérmica entre ellas es una tarea insostenible. La sabiduría debe entenderse como una actitud o toma de postura y no como un ciencia y es desde esta perspectiva que el hecho de que los padres de la filosofía –los presocráticos– escribieran en versos o que Tomás de Aquino incluyera la Poética en el Órganon como un modo especial de argumentación. Se ofrecen aquí tres respuestas a objeciones a favor de la separación entre literatura y filosofía con el objetivo de señalar que la sistematicidad, la argumentación y la subordinación a la verdad no son criterios claros para desvincular filosofía y literatura.
En busca de la presencia.
Authors: Cataño Rafael Jiménez
Published: October 2016

Durante su discurso al recibir el premio Nobel, el poeta mexicano Octavio Paz subrayó la importancia y dificultad de vivir en el presente, de vivir la realidad real, de vivir la presencia. En torno a esta idea aparecen las posturas de Paz con respecto a la naturaleza del hombre, su aspiración o nostalgia de infinito, el carácter humano y natural de lo sobrenatural, las cuestiones del mito y la fiesta en la experiencia religiosa y la misa como el momento en que la sed y la saciedad se conjugan. En este ensayo se alude a cada una de estas posturas para desentrañar la naturaleza religiosa del ser humano y la naturaleza humana de la religión, a partir de las reflexiones y poesías de Octavio Paz.
La constitución de la imagen actual del hombre
Authors: Ballesteros Jesus
Published: October 2016

Este artículo analiza críticamente tres modelos diferentes del ser humano: el homo faber, o humanismo tecnocrático, dominante en la modernidad desde Descartes y Bacon hasta Marx; el homo natura y el homo ludens, que representan modelos antihumanistas de la modernidad tardía. Frente a estos modelos podemos encontrar un cuarto: el homo patiens o humanismo excéntrico, abierto a Dios, los otros y la naturaleza. Sólo este modelo da un fundamento consistente a la universalidad de los derechos porque este identifica los conceptos de persona y ser humano.

Rhetoric on sale. Discourse strategies in supermarket interactions.
Authors: Cortini Michela
Published: October 2016

Este artículo intenta describir, en términos conversacionales y retóricos, qué ocurre en las interacciones ordinarias que tienen lugar en supermercados italianos. Mostramos cómo algunas rutinas conversacionales pueden concebirse como retórica oculta. Al hacer esto, seguimos algunos académicos franceses, tales como Anscombre y Ducrot, quienes reinventan la relación entre información y retórica, dando a la última un significado más extenso. La investigación, a través de la información natural, muestra cómo la manera en que algo es dicho y su uso en cierto contexto produce el significado.
El razonamiento sofístico (privado) y la teoría de los predicables
Authors: Gambra José Miguel
Published: October 2016

La doctrina aristotélica de las falacias en las Refutaciones Sofísticas no puede entenderse sin referirse a los Tópicos. En este artículo intentamos mostrar que, en esta última obra, hay una “lógica de los predicables” implícita, que podría explicar de manera muy convincente algunas de esas falacias, tales como la de accidente, de consecuente, secundum quid ad simpliciter y el balbuceo. Al mismo tiempo, presentamos los ingredientes principales de esta lógica y discutimos algunas soluciones modernas a estos sofismas.
La dimensión empírica de la argumentación metafísica en Tomás de Aquino y Aristóteles
Authors: Cifuentes Carlos Llano
Published: October 2016

El autor intenta evidenciar cómo las demostraciones, tal y como las usan Aristóteles y santo Tomás, no se asemejan a las demostraciones matemáticas ordinarias. Porque las demostraciones en la metafísica de Aristóteles y Aquino son preferentemente a posteriori por causa eficiente, mientras que las matemáticas usan en primer lugar la demostración a priori por causa formal. Esta diferencia deja a la metafísica fuera del racionalismo al que se refiere Descartes.
Las Quaestiones del Pseudo Justino: un lector cristiano de Aristóteles en tiempos de Proclo
Authors: Martín José Pablo
Published: October 2016

Un análisis del tratado Quaestiones christianorum ad gentiles, atribuido a Justiono el apologista, muestra que es un escrito cristiano del fin del siglo V, cuyo objetivo es refutar doctrinas muy específicas del neoplatónico Proclo. El autor demuestra que él conoce el Organon de Aristóteles directamente, al cual se refiere con la expresión “los antiguos”. El tratado presenta una teoría de la producción del mundo en oposición a la ontología neoplatónica para concebir la voluntad de Dios y la historia del hombre.
Anicio Manlio Severino Boecio: notas sobre una traducción inédita a la Metafísica de Aristóteles
Authors: Morán Jorge R.
Published: October 2016

Con base en el comentario de santo Tomás a los libros Peri Hermeneias y la Metafísica de Aristóteles, proponemos dos hipótesis: a) existía una traducción al comentario de Severino Boecio a la Metafísica de Aristóteles, b) Boecio no sólo es una autoridad en lógica sino también en prôtè philosophía. Tratamos de mostrar nuestra tesis con textos específicos de los comentarios filosóficos de Aquino.
Carta encíclica Fe y Razón o "Al rescate de realidad perdida"
Authors: Blengio Carlos Cervantes
Published: October 2016

En el horizonte cultural de la actualidad prevalece la inseguridad del verdadero alcance del conocimiento. El papa Juan Pablo II llama a este estado: crisis al rededor de la verdad. Fides et ratio ofrece las llaves que permitirán al hombre abandonar su seria situación.
David Hume y las condiciones de la estabilidad política
Authors: Rodríguez Amán Rosales
Published: October 2016

En este artículo se discuten las ideas de Hume sobre las condiciones necesarias para la estabilidad política y el progreso. Asimismo, tal como muestra Hume, con base en su entendimiento “conservador” personal sobre la política, se ofrece un examen de la función y características del gobierno y las claves filosóficas importantes para comprender la naturaleza y el progreso social.
Esclavitud, libertad y derecho: discusiones a partir de la Colonia (1550-1630)
Authors: Tellkamp Jörg Alejandro
Published: October 2016

Desde la conquista española y la colonización de América, la esclavitud se ha convertido en un problema con un enorme, pero también filosófico, impacto político. En este ensayo me ocupo principalmente con las discusiones de la famosa Disputa de Valladolid entre Sepulveda y Las Casas (1550), observando algunas de las teorías prominentes sobre la libre voluntad y su influencia en el problema de la propiedad (dominium) y su relación con la esclavitud. La conclusión es que ninguno de los autores examinados aquí, a pesar de tener establecido un fuerte concepto de la voluntad libre humana, se atreven a criticar la esclavitud como tal.
A propósito de la crítica del juicio
Authors: Labrada María Antonia
Published: October 2016

La Crítica del Juicio trata de solucionar el problema que existe entre la naturaleza y la libertad. Mediante el juicio estético, la contemplación de la belleza permite ampliar el horizonte y ver la naturaleza de otro modo: de un modo teleológico. La finalidad de la naturaleza aparece como juicio teleológico en el hombre y encuentra su fin y determinación en él. Estos planteamientos plenamente modernos, aunados a los de Hegel, en sus Lecciones de Estética, originan la discusión entre la cultura, como conjunto de instituciones estáticas y limitantes, y la creatividad como manifestación del espíritu libre y la razón poética. El imperio de la razón tecnológica, con sus pretensiones de saber absoluto, domina nuestros tiempos. Se debe acudir a la razón poética, por un deber ético, para conciliar la naturaleza y la libertad, la cultura y la creatividad, pero sin el pretendido orgullo de mostrarse como respuesta última, absoluta e inamovible.
¿Realismo o Pragmatismo? El debate Rorty vs Taylor sobre las implicaciones de la superación de la Epistemología
Authors: Kalpokas Daniel
Published: October 2016

Este artículo analiza la discusión entre Taylor y Rorty sobre los resultados de la superación de la epistemología. Primeramente, este artículo resume la crítica de Taylor a Rorty. En segundo lugar, considera la respuesta rortyana a Taylor y sus propios argumentos contra el realismo de Taylor. Los descauerdos principales entre Rorty y Taylor son los siguientes: 1) Rorty dice que el pragmatismo supera la epistemología, Taylor, por el contrario, dice que el realismo no-comprometido es el que supera la tradición epistemológica popular; 2) ellos están en desacuerdo sobre cómo entender cierto vocabulario: Taylor afirma que siempre es posible conocer qué vocabulario describe mejor al mundo, pero Rorty parece sostener que los vocabularios son inconmensurables; 3) Taylor piensa a la verdad como una relación de correspondencia con el mundo; Rorty, sin embargo, rechaza esta concepción. En tercer lugar, se hace aquí una evaliación de los argumentos ofrecidos por cada lado. Especialmente, la sección que argumenta contra la concepción rortyana de los juegos del lenguaje y sus consecuencias no-realistas. Finalmente, se sugiere una reconsideración de la dicotomía realismo-pragmatismo.
Observaciones ontológicas al caos determinista como forma del universo
Authors: Velázquez Héctor
Published: October 2016

Este artículo trata de explicar cómo algunos presupuesto de la Teoría del Caos Determinista convertirían la presencia del azar en los procesos naturales en una causa formal del universo. También se compara esta posición con una visión compatible de teleología metafísica.

La sustancia material en Suárez
Authors: Sienra Adolfo García de La
Published: October 2016

Las transformaciones que toman lugar en el reino de la física de alta energía, así como el hecho de que la realidad aparece a las distintas ciencias como una acumulación de capas de leyes y propiedades, parece apoyar la visión aristotélica de la materia. Esto hace interesante y relevante a una fresca reconsideración de las formulaciones más sistemáticas de tal visión: aquella de Francisco Suárez en sus Disputaciones Metafísicas. Esta formulación se introduce aquí en un lenguaje más contemporáneo y desde el panorama de tres siglos de física moderna.
La "Introducción" a la Crítica de la Razón Pura y el Comentario al De Trinitate de Boecio de Santo Tomás de Aquino
Authors: Llano Carlos
Published: October 2016

La “Introducción” de Kant a la Crítica de la Razón Pura y las cuestiones 5 y 6 del Comentario al De Trinitate de Boecio de Santo Tomás, representan un preludio a la naturaleza de la ciencia y la metafísica. No obstante, Aquino no concibe una metafísica racionalista, correctamente criticada por Kant, sino un conocimiento que continúa el pensamiento físico, que no el matemático. Este modus sciendi diferentede la metafísica y la matemática muestra el alcance limitado de la crítica metafísica kantiana a la philosophia perennis.
