Intelligent Industrial Process Control Based on Fuzzy Logic and Machine Learning
Authors: Zermane Hanane , Kasmi Rached
Published: December 2019

Manufacturing automation is a double-edged sword, on one hand, it increases productivity of production system, cost reduction, reliability, etc. However, on the other hand it increases the complexity of the system. This has led to the need of efficient solutions such as artificial techniques. Data and experiences are extracted from experts that usually rely on common sense when they solve problems. They also use vague and ambiguous terms. However, knowledge engineer would have difficulties providing a computer with the same level of understanding. To resolve this situation, this article proposed fuzzy logic to know how the authors can represent expert knowledge that uses fuzzy terms in supervising complex industrial processes as a first step. As a second step, adopting one of the powerful techniques of machine learning, which is Support Vector Machine (SVM), the authors want to classify data to determine state of the supervision system and learn how to supervise the process preserving habitual linguistic used by operators.

Authors: Oetari Andi , Arifin Zainul
Published: December 2019

The purpose of this study examines whether the strategic alliance affects the organizational form, managerial strategy, market engagement, and performance and how these variables interact in order to become a mutually beneficial partnership. The study took place in Indonesia, especially in Java, to the parties related to the strategic alliance between PT Transportasi Jakarta and bus operators in investment and management of Busway in DKI Jakarta. The study took place is in Indonesia especially Java Island and not only in DKI Jakarta. Findings in this study is have significant and positive effect on organizational form, in other hands, the strategic alliance has a non-signifncant effect to performance, managerial strategy, and market engangement. The novelty in this study is the market engagement variable examined by looking at the relationship between the strategic alliance and market engagement, managerial strategy and market engagement, and market engagement and performance.
A Well-Organized Safeguarded Access on Key Propagation by Malleable Optimization in Blend With Double Permutation
Authors: Sathish A. , Ravimaran S. , Kumar S. Jerald Nirmal
Published: December 2019

With the rapid developments occurring in cloud computing and services, there has been a growing trend of using the cloud for large-scale data storage. This has led to a major security dispute on data handling. Thus, the process can be overcome by utilizing an efficient shielded access on a key propagation (ESAKP) technique along with an adaptive optimization algorithm for password generation and performing double permutation. The password generation is done by adaptive ant lion optimization (AALO) which tackles the problem of ineffiency. This build has stronger security which needs an efficient selection property by eliminating the worst fit in each iteration. The optimized password is utilized by an adaptive vignere cipher for efficient key generation in which adaptiveness is employed to prevent the dilemma of choosing the first letter of alphabet which in turn reduces the computation time and improves the security. Additionally, there is a need to encrypte the symmetric key asymmetrically with a Elliptic Curve-Diffie Hellman algorithm (EC-DH) with a double stage permutation which produces a scrambling form of data adding security to the data.
A Neuro-Fuzzy Approach to Detect Rumors in Online Social Networks
Authors: Srinivasan Santhoshkumar , Dhinesh Babu L.D.
Published: December 2019

Along with true information, rumors spread in online social networks (OSN) on an unprecedented scale. In recent days, rumor identification gains more interest among the researchers. Finding rumors also poses other critical challenges like noisy and imprecise input data, data sparsity, and unclear interpretations of the output. To address these issues, we propose a neuro-fuzzy classification approach called the neuro-fuzzy rumor detector (NFRD) to automatically identify the rumors in OSNs. NFRD quickly transforms the input to fuzzy rules which classify the rumor. Neural networks handle larger input data. Fuzzy systems are better in handling uncertainty and imprecision in input data by producing fuzzy rules that effectively eliminate the unclear inputs. NFRD also considers the semantic aspects of information to ensure better classification. The neuro-fuzzy approach addresses the most common problems such as uncertainty elimination, noise reduction, and quicker generalization. Experimental results show the proposed approach performs well against state-of-the-art rumor detecting techniques.
Optimizing Semi-Stream CACHEJOIN for Near-Real- Time Data Warehousing
Authors: Naeem M. Asif , Mehmood Erum , Malik M. G. Abbas , Jamil Noreen
Published: December 2019

Streaming data join is a critical process in the field of near-real-time data warehousing. For this purpose, an adaptive semi-stream join algorithm called CACHEJOIN (Cache Join) focusing non-uniform stream data is provided in the literature. However, this algorithm cannot exploit the memory and CPU resources optimally and consequently it leaves its service rate suboptimal due to sequential execution of both of its phases, called stream-probing (SP) phase and disk-probing (DP) phase. By integrating the advantages of CACHEJOIN, this article presents two modifications for it. The first is called P-CACHEJOIN (Parallel Cache Join) that enables the parallel processing of two phases in CACHEJOIN. This increases number of joined stream records and therefore improves throughput considerably. The second is called OP-CACHEJOIN (Optimized Parallel Cache Join) that implements a parallel loading of stored data into memory while the DP phase is executing. This research presents the performance analysis of both of the approaches defined within the paper existing CACHEJOIN empirically using synthetic skewed dataset.
First record of Bloodiella Nowicki, 1935 (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) from Italy
Authors: Viggiani G. , Filella F.
Published: December 2019

From pieces of olive tree leaves with only egg clusters of Macrolenes dentipes (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), specimens of the trichogrammatid Bloodiella andalusiaca Nowicki (1935) emerged. This is the first record for the genus and the species from Italy. The original description of B. andalusiaca is reviewed and new characters are added. Hosts of this egg parasitoid are unknown, but our observations suggest that M. dentipes is a very possible candidate.

INTERESSI MILITARI NELLE ELLENICHE DI OSSIRINCO
Authors: Brambilla Alessandro
Published: December 2019

This paper starts from the attempt to define what is a “military historian” and tries to establish whether this definition is applicable to the author of the Hellenica Oxyrhynxhia. Moving from the analysis of the military related episodes described by the author, the paper underlines his care in relating the movements of troops throughout a campaign, in recording casualties, and his attention towards tactics, such as stratagems and abushes, or economic matters, such as the payment of troops. At the same time, this paper emphasises that the precision showed by the author in describing these warfare episodes, though possibly demonstrating the employment of good quality sources, maybe official accounts, it is not enough to define the Hellenica Oxyrhynchia as the work of a military historian.
The quest for context-relevant online education
Authors: Gous Ignatius G.P.
Published: December 2019

Is it possible to provide context-relevant education to a diverse and dispersed body of students via online presented courses? Contextual relevance is called for by students and the public alike, as can also be seen in the #fallist movements. More traditional academics and institutions argue for retaining excellence from the past and known knowledge still to be taught. In this conceptual article, education is seen as a mastery of knowledge expanses by integrating Data and Information into Knowledge and Wisdom (D-I-K-W). Departing from the learning sciences, especially mind, brain and education science and its application in culturally appropriate learning, it is argued that including effective learning strategies in online courses, especially application-oriented strategies, can help students to apply knowledge from the past to contexts in the present, thereby attaining context-relevant education. However, the application of learnt material to situations brings forward another dimension, namely, the future, which is Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA). In applying and making decisions, it is helpful to attend to the Cynefin framework, attending to the domains of the obvious, the complicated, the complex, the chaotic and the disorder. Excellence from the past and relevance in the present should, therefore, be augmented by abilities aimed at future readiness. Context-relevant online education should therefore attend to the past, the present and the future.

The strengths of formal Bayesian chronological modelling are restated, combining as it does knowledge of the archaeology with the radiocarbon dating of carefully chosen samples of known taphonomy in association with diagnostic material culture. The risks of dating bone samples are reviewed, along with a brief history of the development of approaches to the radiocarbon dating of bone. In reply to Strien (2017), selected topics concerned with the emergence and aftermath of the LBK are discussed, as well as the early Vinča, Ražište and Hinkelstein sequences. The need for rigour in an approach which combines archaeology and radiocarbon dating is underlined.
Redefining the role of metal production during the Bronze Age of south-eastern Iberia. The mines of eastern Sierra Morena
Authors: Arboledas-Martínez Luis , Alarcón-García Eva
Published: December 2019

Researchers have traditionally paid little attention to mining by Bronze Age communities in the south-east of the Iberian Peninsula. This has changed recently due to the identification of new mineral exploitations from this period during the archaeo-mining surveys carried out in the Rumblar and Jándula valleys in the Sierra Morena Mountains between 2009-2014, as well as the excavation of the José Martín Palacios mine (Baños de la Encina, Jaén). The analysis of the archaeological evidence and the archaeometric results reveal the importance of mining and metallurgical activities undertaken by the communities that inhabited the region between 2200 and 900 cal. BC, when it became one of the most important copper and silver production centers during the Late Prehistory of south-eastern Iberia.

Authors: Sharifi Mahnaz , Motarjem Abbas
Published: December 2019

Tepe Gheshlagh is located in the center of Talvar Valley in Bijar County, Kurdistan province of Iran, on the east bank of Talvar River. It is rested on a Natural terrace, less than 30 meters above the current bed of the river. The mound is about one hectare in area, oval in shape, and rises more than 14 meters above the surrounding fields. Three seasons of salvage excavation carried out in the site which has revealed significant information on Early, Middle and Late Chalcolithic period (5500-3850 BC) in this region. Unfortunately no accurate Archeological research has been undertaken to gain a better understanding of Chalcolithic period, especially the Early this issue highlights current excavation. In fact, Exploration of cultural traces and, in particular, the important settlement of Tepe Gheshlagh as well as recognition of the subsistence economy of its residents can increase our knowledge of cultural traditions in this region.

Devido ao uso de antibióticos para o tratamento e prevenção de infecções bacterianas durante a produção de matrizes pesadas, torna-se importante estudar o perfil de resistência e a prevalência de bactérias gram-negativas produtoras de ESBL. Dentre as várias classes de antimicrobianos disponíveis, destacam-se os agentes beta-lactâmicos, categoria antimicrobiana amplamente utilizada em clínica médica humana e veterinária. Assim, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o perfil de resistência e caracterizar as cepas produtoras de beta-lactamases de espectro estendido (ESBL) isoladas de matrizes de corte por meio da coleta de 87 swabs cloacais. As bactérias Gram-negativas foram isoladas em meios seletivos, identificadas por métodos bioquímicos convencionais e MALDI-TOF® e estudadas quanto à resistência antimicrobiana, incluindo ESBL. Das 87 amostras, foram isoladas 52 bactérias gram-negativas. Houve alta resistência bacteriana às principais classes de antimicrobianos utilizados em aves: penicilinas, cefalosporinas e quinolonas. Também foi encontrado fenótipo sugestivo de produção de ESBL em 42,31% dos isolados, demonstrando resistência aos antimicrobianos beta-lactâmicos testados. Os resultados demonstram a necessidade de orientação dos profissionais que trabalham com matrizes de corte, a fim de se reduzir a presença de bactérias resistentes e produtoras de ESBL e evitar sua disseminação para o meio ambiente, ovos férteis e frangos de corte e, consequentemente, carne de frango e humanos.

Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar a germinação, o índice de velocidade de germinação (IVG), a viabilidade por meio do teste de tetrazólio e a condutividade elétrica (CE) das sementes de Apuleia leiocarpa submetidas ao envelhecimento acelerado (EA) bem como indicar os melhores testes para avaliar a qualidade fisiológica das sementes da referida espécie. As sementes foram envelhecidas pelos tempos de 0, 24, 48 e 72 h em câmara de envelhecimento a 48ºC. A qualidade fisiológica das sementes reduziu ainda nas primeiras 24 horas de envelhecimento. Os testes de tetrazólio e de Condutividade Elétrica (CE) foram eficientes para avaliar a perda da qualidade fisiológica das sementes de A. leiocarpa submetidas ao EA.
A new species of Fissimentum Cranston & Nolte, 1996 from the state of São Paulo, Brazil (Diptera: Chironomidae, Chironominae)
Authors: Andersen Trond , Pinho Luiz Carlos
Published: December 2019

Fissimentum mendesi n. sp. é descrita e ilustrada com base em machos coletados com armadilhas luminosas em duas localidades no estado de São Paulo, Brasil. A nova espécie é aparentemente relacionada a F. desiccatum Cranston & Nolte, 1996 e F. guairense Pinho & Froehlich, 2011 por apresentar uma projeção posterior no tergito IX, mas pode ser facilmente separada de seus congêneres pela combinação de uma volsela superior curta, robusta, uniformemente curva, e AR em torno de 1,5. Uma chave revisada para os machos do gênero é fornecida.
Diversidade da malacofauna associada à distribuição de Anomalocardia flexuosa (Linnaeus, 1767) (Mollusca: Bivalvia) em uma praia arenosa tropical
Authors: Lima Severino Adriano Oliveira , Freitas Ana Júlia Rufino , Andrade Humber Agrelli
Published: December 2019

O conhecimento sobre a diversidade biológica é fundamental para o estabelecimento de medidas que conduzam à proteção de recursos naturais. As praias arenosas são áreas de alta diversidade, sendo a malacofauna um componente importante. Vários moluscos têm grande importância econômica e sua distribuição espacial, em praias arenosas, está atrelada a fatores físicos e biológicos. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a diversidade da malacofauna associada à distribuição de Anomalocardia flexuosa em uma praia arenosa tropical. As amostras foram coletadas bimensalmente, entre abril 2016 e fevereiro de 2018, em 34 pontos distribuídos ao longo de todo o banco de areia. Foram calculadas as frequências de ocorrência das espécies e os índices de diversidades foram estimados e correlacionados com as densidades de A. flexuosa. No total foram obtidos 4.780 indivíduos, pertencentes a 11 espécies. As espécies mais frequentes foram A. flexuosa e Neritina virginea. Há correlações significativas entre as densidades de A. fleuxosa com as medidas de diversidade ocorrendo sobreposição entre os moluscos ao longo dos meses e dos locais de coleta. Portanto, as capturas dirigidas para essa espécie devem também considerar todos os outros moluscos para mitigar futuros danos à diversidade da malacofauna na região.

Published: December 2019

A herpetofauna da Caatinga continua subestimada. A falta de conhecimento levou essa região a ser considerada de baixa riqueza e endemismo. Este estudo tem como objetivo determinar a composição e riqueza de espécies da herpetofauna no município de Nordestina. Os dados foram coletados utilizando diferentes técnicas amostrais, como armadilha de interceptação e queda e procura ativa. A riqueza da herpetofauna foi estimada utilizando o estimador Bootstrap. Além disso, foram calculados também a dominância e equitabilidade por grupo taxonômico. No total, foram registrados 3.969 espécimes distribuídos em 49 espécies. As serpentes apresentaram maior riqueza, enquanto os lagartos foram mais abundantes. Para os anuros, estimou-se, aproximadamente, 14 ± 0,8 espécies, com alta uniformidade (índice de Pielou J’ = 65,8%) e baixa dominância (D = 23,3%), enquanto que, para os répteis, o valor de riqueza estimado foi o mesmo observado, também com alta uniformidade (J’ = 55,7%) e baixa dominância (D = 23,9%). No geral, a área apresenta um padrão de equitabilidade e baixa dominância, o que é uma característica dos ambientes mais conservados e nos leva a destacar a importância desta região para a manutenção da biodiversidade do bioma Caatinga.

Authors: Fonseca Alysson Rodrigo , Silva Gabriele A. Andreia
Published: December 2019

As Reservas Legais (RL) são áreas localizadas dentro de propriedades rurais e contribuem para manutenção da diversidade de espécies de mamíferos, bem como para a movimentação de espécies entre os fragmentos de vegetação. Este trabalho teve como objetivo quantificar a riqueza e analisar a frequência de ocorrência de mamíferos terrestres de médio e grande porte em uma área de RL de 76,5 ha, no município de Pedra do Indaiá, Minas Gerais, Brasil. O período de amostragem foi de 28 meses, com a utilização dos seguintes métodos de coleta: observação direta, indireta e armadilha fotográfica. Foram registradas 25 espécies, distribuídas em sete ordens e 14 famílias. As ordens mais representativas foram Carnivora, Cingulata e Rodentia, e as menos representativas foram Lagomorpha e Didelphimorphia. Das 25 espécies registradas, seis encontram-se ameaçadas de extinção na lista de espécies da fauna ameaçada no estado de Minas Gerais e, quatro na lista de espécies da fauna ameaçada de extinção no Brasil. A presença de animais em alguma categoria de ameaça sugere a necessidade de manutenção da RL, bem como de remanescentes de vegetação nativa na região a fim de manter a qualidade do habitat necessária à persistência das populações e os serviços ecossistêmicos prestados por ela.
Connected Countryside: The Inhibiting Effect of Social Media on Rural Social Movements
Authors: Schuler Paul , Truong Mai
Published: December 2019

While much research focuses on social media and urban movements, almost no research explores its potentially divergent effects in rural areas. Building on recent work emphasizing the multidimensional effects of online communication on vertical and horizontal information, we argue that while the Internet may facilitate large-scale urban movements, it inhibits large-scale rural movements. Because social media increases vertical information flows between government and citizens, the central government responds quickly to rural protests, preventing such protests from developing into a large-scale movement. By contrast, social media does less to change the vertical information flows in urban areas. We explore the plausibility of our argument by process tracing the evolution of protests in urban and rural areas in Vietnam in the pre-Internet and in the Internet eras.
Explaining Judicial Authority in Dominant-Party Democracies: The Case of the Constitutional Court of South Africa
Authors: Ma David K.
Published: December 2019

Why do authoritative constitutional courts sometimes thrive even in dominant-party regimes? This article identifies as a key determining factor the constitutional entrenchment of wealth redistribution via private corporate equity transfers. Since the policy threatens private capital, the dominant party would want to avoid massive capital flight by credibly committing to a restrained practice of indirect expropriation through an authoritative constitutional court that can apply a brake to the policy when it goes too far. The analysis is based on an in-depth case study of the Constitutional Court of South Africa. The empirical research includes conducting an expert survey on judicial appointments that tests a crucial observable implication of the theory, as well as performing process tracing that involves interviewing South African business elites.
La "primavoltità" en las "Lettere editoriali" de Roberto Bazlen. Valoración estético-experiencial y lengua literaria en la creación de un lector implicado
Authors: Varela García Juan Felipe
Published: December 2019

Este artículo tiene por objetivo analizar la dimensión valorativa de las Lettere editoriali (1968), publicadas dentro de la “obra” póstuma de Roberto Bazlen: Scritti (1984 [2013]). En primer lugar, teniendo como fundamento algunos postulados de la estética de la recepción (Ingarden 1989 y Vodička 1989a, 1989b), se ha tomado el concepto de «valor» (estético; artístico), del cual se sirve Bazlen para fundamentar sus elecciones editoriales en lo que él llamó la primavoltità. En segundo lugar, la teoría del efecto estético ha permitido desarrollar, en el acto bazleniano de leer, la creación de un nuevo género literario propio del lector-editor: i pareri di lettura, un caso de inmersión literaria que solo podría efectuar el lector implicado propuesto por Iser (1976 [1987]). Se espera que este estudio pueda aportar novedades a un estado del arte ocupado prevalentemente de Il capitano di lungo corso (1973) (obedeciendo así a la costumbre de querer encontrar siempre, sin remedio, al escritor). En ese sentido, esta propuesta constituye una de las excusas para dirigir la mirada hacia otras formas de contribuir a la existencia de la literatura.
Il genio e l’ingegno. Storia e statuto del romanzo secondo Rovani
Authors: Patat Alejandro
Published: December 2019

L’articolo si propone di affrontare le riflessioni estetiche di Giuseppe Rovani, focalizzando la storia e lo statuto del romanzo. A tal fine, risulta imprescindibile fare una lettura trasversale della critica dell’opera di Rovani per capire quali siano stati i punti nodali della messa in discussione, delle stroncature e della riabilitazione dei Cento anni, considerato unanimemente il suo capolavoro. L’analisi delle sue posizioni teoriche attorno al romanzo nell’Ottocento italiano permette, quindi, di capire meglio quali saranno le nuove esplorazioni in campo narrativo una volta tramontato il modello manzoniano.
Interfonografía en el post-rock español: el uso del sampleo en los grupos nacionales asociados al género
Authors: Fellone Ugo
Published: December 2019

Como consecuencia del auge del hip-hop o la música dance, el uso de samples se ha convertido en una práctica bastante común en la actualidad. Aun así, el rock se ha mostrado prácticamente ajeno a ella al depender de una autenticidad basada en la interpretación en vivo y renegar de los trucos de estudio. En este artículo se analizará el caso del postrock, uno de los pocos géneros en los que se conjuga el sampleo con la interpretación musical a la manera del rock, centrándonos en el modo en el que los grupos españoles asociados a la etiqueta desde mediados de los 90 hasta la actualidad han empleado esta práctica. Para llevar esto a cabo recurriremos a una reformulación de las funciones que Emilia Greco y Rubén López Cano adscriben al sampleo de acuerdo a la noción de interfonografía de Serge Lacasse.
Los pianos de Liszt en Viena (1838-1846): un estudio de los instrumentos a través de artículos de prensa de la época
Authors: Gómez-Morán Miriam
Published: December 2019

Entre 1838 y 1846, varios críticos vieneses publicaron artículos sobre los conciertos que ofreció Liszt en la capital austríaca. Esos prolijos textos no solo contienen el comentario a la parte meramente interpretativa de la ejecución del programa, sino también numerosos detalles acerca de los pianos que utilizó el maestro húngaro en cada ocasión, las obras que tocó en ellos y el comportamiento de dichos instrumentos en el escenario.

El análisis de los documentos ha permitido conocer las características de los pianos, las marcas empleadas y cómo le asignaba Liszt las piezas a cada ejemplar. Los resultados han arrojado luz sobre el concepto sonoro del compositor en esos años –facilitando al intérprete de hoy en día la elección de instrumento para ese repertorio–, la actitud de la crítica respecto al medio sonoro concreto y la variedad de diseño de los pianos de aquel entonces.
Desinformación, manipulación y credibilidad periodísticas: una perspectiva histórica
Authors: Mayoral Javier , Parratt Sonia , Morata Monserrat
Published: December 2019

La desinformación y las denominadas «noticias falsas» no son fenómenos completamente nuevos. Es nuevo el contexto socioprofesional y tecnológico que permite una difusión masiva y rápida de contenidos falsos. Sin embargo, el periodismo ha convivido desde sus inicios con la mentira interesada, la deformación o manipulación de noticias. Ello ha tenido como consecuencia mediata o inmediata una cierta pérdida la credibilidad. Este artículo pretende analizar desde una perspectiva histórica esa pérdida de la credibilidad periodística. En contra de lo que se tiende a pensar, el modelo de periodismo informativo y riguroso supone casi una anomalía histórica, puesto que los intereses ideológicos y comerciales han tendido a imponer sus criterios en las prácticas periodísticas imperantes.
El impacto de las fake news en la investigación en Ciencias Sociales. Revisión bibliográfica sistematizada
Authors: Blanco Alfonso Ignacio , García Galera Carmen , Tejedor Calvo Santiago
Published: December 2019

Las noticias falsas o fake news vienen ocupando un papel protagonista a nivel político, social, mediático y también, científico. En este trabajo se desarrolla una revisión sistematizada de los estudios realizados hasta la fecha sobre las noticias falsas, partiendo de las principales bases de datos (Web of Science, Dialnet Plus) y con el fin de verificar qué temas han atraído la atención de la comunidad científica al respecto, qué técnicas de investigación se han utilizado en estos estudios, dónde se concentran geográficamente y qué campos quedan aún por cubrir en torno a este fenómeno. El estudio realizado refleja que aún queda camino por recorrer, en especial, en el ámbito iberoamericano que aparece menos representado dentro de la producción científica sobre las noticias falsas.
De la atomización de la programación a los magacines: los espacios ligeros en la radiodifusión de las Islas Canarias durante el franquismo
Authors: Yanes Mesa Julio Antonio
Published: December 2019

En el franquismo, los programas ligeros de la radiodifusión canaria no dieron señales de vida hasta que el régimen distendió, en plena II Guerra Mundial, la propaganda bélica tras la debacle nazi en Stalingrado, para luego consolidarse, en coincidencia con las primeras medidas aperturistas, bajo una estructura “mosaico”. La posterior expansión, desde la inauguración de Radio Juventud de Canarias (1955), de la música discográfica y las mejoras socioeconómicas traídas por el boom turístico propiciaron la evolución, una década más tarde, de tales espacios hacia magacines de larga duración. Junto a los factores contextuales y técnicos que hicieron posible tal mutación, rescatamos los hitos más relevantes del proceso y las especificidades isleñas dentro del contexto estatal.
Inmigrantes del Perú en la prensa de Chile: El caso de "La Estrella" de Arica (2000-2010)
Authors: Soto Lara José Julián , Chávez Zúñiga Pablo , Dallmann Janna
Published: December 2019

Se analizan noticias del diario "La Estrella" de Arica sobre los inmigrantes peruanos presentes en esa ciudad. La documentación, leída desde las teorías del análisis discursivo y de las representaciones sociales, sugiere que el periódico se sostiene ideológicamente en un racismo simbólico. La metodología funde procedimientos del análisis discursivo, puntualmente los referidos a los tópicos y las estrategias discursivas. Los resultados dan cuenta de ambas, las que transforman al inmigrante en un sujeto incivilizado. Se concluye que "La Estrella" construye sobre los inmigrantes, con sencillez discursiva, un tipo de otredad fundamentada en diferencias étnicas.
El teatro de la opinión. Prensa, política y lectura después de la revolución en el Río de la Plata
Authors: Pas Hernán
Published: December 2019

¿Cuántos periódicos se vendían en Buenos Aires en los años que van de la Revolución a la caída de Juan Manuel de Rosas? La pregunta señala un punto oscuro en la historiografía de la prensa y de la cultura mediática argentinas, pero también en los estudios de historia política e intelectual, pues supone en su formulación otra no menos difícil de responder: ¿cuántos eran sus lectores? ¿Quiénes tenían acceso material a los impresos? El presente trabajo es un intento de avanzar en un terreno hasta ahora poco transitado del intercambio letrado en el siglo XIX. Dividido en dos partes, la primera presenta una descripción de los recursos formales y discursivos en la formación de la llamada opinión pública –centrada en los modos de ficcionalización de la opinión, a través de remitidos y correspondencias–, mientras que la segunda propone una aproximación analítica a su contraparte empírica, esto es, un examen de los posibles lectores concretos de periódicos, mediante el análisis de costos y salarios en dos períodos significativos y equidistantes.
La imagen de los latinos en la ficción televisiva norteamericana del siglo XXI
Authors: González Aguilar Juan Manuel , Mayagoitia Soria Ana Martha
Published: December 2019

Se analiza la imagen que de los personajes latinos ofrecen las series de ficción de más éxito, producidas en Estados Unidos, a partir del siglo XXI. Se lleva a cabo un análisis de contenido (cualitativo) de cuatro comedias y cuatro dramas, en el que se valoran aspectos físicos, de carácter y de comportamiento de un total de 29 personajes, de diferentes géneros, edades y nivel socioeconómico. Se trata de definir los nuevos modelos a partir de los cuales son creados dichos personajes en las ficciones actuales. Se demuestra que los personajes latinos han cobrado mayor relevancia y protagonismo en el periodo analizado y que se definen de una forma más realista en su carácter y acciones.

Published: December 2019

“En España, durante cinco años se (ha) intentado lo imposible: una Monarquía sin monárquicos, un marxismo sin Marx, un comunismo sin Lenin, un capitalismo con el máximo intervencionismo estatal…”. Semejante sentencia fue escrita a inicios de los ochenta por el conspicuo Rafael Calvo Serer, notorio opusdeísta y opositor a Franco, miembro del Consejo Privado del Conde de Barcelona, presidente del Consejo de Administración del diario Madrid y publicitado compañero de viaje de la Junta Democrática, el organismo promovido por el Partido Comunista de España (PCE) en el verano de 1974 como herramienta de su estrategia de ruptura democrática. Quizá en aquella sentencia faltaba sumar la imagen de una Transición que devoraba, en un rito mistérico e inmisericorde, a alguno de sus artífices más notorios, entre ellos a dos de los alquimistas decisivos del cambio político: Adolfo Suárez y Santiago Carrillo.

Investigating the Influence of Video Games on EFL Learners’ Motivation in the Saudi Context
Authors: M Asiri Nasser
Published: December 2019

Since English Language has become the dominate language of science, education, finance and entertainment, most non-English speaking countries have adopted English language curriculums in schools and colleges as a second or a forging language. These curriculums have presented materials in the form of textbooks accompanied by videos and audios to give an enriching learning experience. As recreational video games is an expanding industry with its economic and cultural aspects throughout the world, they are used as a source of learning the English language. This paper aims to investigate the influence of video games on motivating learners to learn the English language. The study has been conducted in a trainees college of Technology in Saudi Arabia. A survey questionnaire was conducted to collected data from the participants. The key findings suggest that learners are keen on using the video games as a means of learning the English language.

Pulmonary sarcoidosis is unlikely to resolve if it persists for greater than five years. A growing body of literature supports the involvement of the microbiome in sarcoidosis and a role for sex hormones in pulmonary fibrosis. Additionally, obesity is a risk factor for the development of sarcoidosis. Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for obesity and can lead to microbial and endocrine changes. Here, we report the clinical improvement of longstanding pulmonary sarcoidosis following sleeve gastrectomy.

This study aimed to evaluate papaya elite lines and hybrids as to fruit physicochemical and sensory characteristics, thus identifying the most promising ones for the market. Fruits from improved genotypes of the Solo group (CMF H10.60, CMF L78, and UC 14) and Formosa group (CMF L10, UC 10, and UC 12) were evaluated, and the commercial cultivars Golden and Tainung nº 1 were used as controls. The following physical and physicochemical evaluations were performed: fruit length and diameter, fruit inner cavity diameter, fruit weight, fruit and pulp firmness, soluble solids, pH, titratable acidity, Ratio (soluble solids and titratable acidit relation), and firmness of peeled and unpeeled ripe fruits. Sensory tests were performed with 50 papaya consumers. In general, the improved genotypes of the Solo and Formosa groups showed similar physical and physicochemical characteristics to the Golden and Tainung n° 1 controls. The CMF L78 line of the Solo group and the UC10 hybrid of the Formosa group showed similar fruit firmness and ratio characteristics compared to both commercial cultivars. The three new genotypes in the Solo group showed superior sensory characteristics to the commercial cultivar Golden. The internal preference mapping of this group revealed a higher preference for the genotypes UC 14 and CMF L78, for having fruits with more intense color, stronger flavor, and firmer texture than the others. In the Formosa group, the UC 10 genotype outperformed the cultivar Tainung nº 1, with a global acceptance percentage of 96.15%, due to a more intense aroma, color, and flavor. The CMF L78 line of the Solo group and the UC 10 hybrid of the Formosa group have excellent physicochemical and sensory characteristics and are therefore promising alternatives to replace both commercial cultivars (Golden and Tainung nº 1).

The objective of this study was to conduct coproparasitological examinations and hemoparasite investigations associated with a hemogram to evaluate the state of the parasitized animals before and after deworming, contribute to sanitary measures, and provide knowledge of Cuniculus paca hematological patterns. We performed these examinations in 20 animals aged between 2 and 10 years on different dates (day 0 and day 30) before and after deworming with a vermifuge based on albendazole + cobalt. The changes caused by endoparasites and hemoparasites were observed and whether there was a satisfactory effect on deworming was evaluated. Trichuris spp., Strongyloides spp., and non-sporulated Eimeria spp. oocytes were detected during the examinations. Trichuris spp. had the highest incidence. We found no hemoparasites in any blood smears. In the first sampling, the eosinophilia and leukocytosis in the hemogram indicated parasitism in the animals. In the second sampling, the number of eosinophils decreased and the number of eggs and oocysts nearly disappeared in the coproparasitological examinations. The vermifuge showed an acceptable effect on sanitary management, and the hemogram was consistent with animal hygiene.

A low number of Brachiaria ruziziensis (Syn. Urochloa) cultivars available on the market and a lack of information about its forage potential have made it difficult to expand its cultivated area, and have therefore made it necessary to implement a breeding program for this species. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the nutritional value of ten improved populations of Brachiaria ruziziensis (Syn. Urochloa) and two controls (B. ruziziensis cv. Kennedy and B. brizantha cv. Marandu). The experimental design was a randomized block design with three replications in five sections. The data were submitted to analysis of variance in the subdivided plot in which the primary factors were the populations and the secondary cuts. The Tukey test was used at 5% of significance for the comparison of means. The genotypes used came from the third recurrent selection cycle of Embrapa dairy cattle, originating from the interbreeding of clones which had been identified as superior. The height of the cuts was 10 cm in relation to the ground. The material was cut and weighed in the field to obtain the sample weights to determine the nutritional forage value. After drying, the samples were ground in 1 mm sieves for chemical analyzes and in vitro digestibility. The best CP, ADF and NDF levels observed in IV populations (lower levels of ADF and NDF at 93 days of cut interval and lower NDF contents at 35 and 41 days of cut interval), population VI (higher CP content in the interval of 93 days, lower DM content at 64 and 93 days of cut interval, and lower NDF content at 35 and 64 days of cut interval) showed that these populations can be evaluated under grazing even at an advanced maturation stage. The objective of these selections was to evaluate the nutritional value of improved populations of Brachiaria ruziziensis (Syn. Urochloa) in order to obtain more homogeneous populations for implantation of grazing experiments.
Failure of the Rational Expectation: Argumentation, Logic and Suggestions on Supply-Side Management
Authors: Jia Kang , Feng Qiaobin , Su Jingchun
Published: December 2019

Rational expectation is known as the sixth revolution in economics. Based on a brief review of rational expectation, this paper puts forward the proposition of failure of rational expectation. The so-called failure of rational expectation means that when the market entity predicts future events, it is impossible to form a completely accurate expectation and then adjust its actions accordingly due to incomplete information and other reasons. On the contrary, due to various irrational factors, the actions of the market entities based on individual ration sometimes may be mad and loss of control, producing devastating effects on the economic system. This paper expounds the concept and formation mechanism of the failure of rational expectation, and conducts a preliminary empirical analysis on this in combination with China’s economic practice. On this basis, it proposes that rational supply management, which the government can play a role in, should be combined to correct the failure of rational expectation and realize the dynamic balance and stability of the economic system.

This study explores the relationship and the impact of pay for performance, performance management, and internal promotional opportunities of human resources practices toward task performance and contextual performance of job performance. The study was conducted on the electrical and electronics (E&E) engineers in the Bayan Lepas Free Trade Zone, Penang. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed through the E&E manufacturing companies’ human resource managers. A total of 1,100 questionnaires were distributed that adapted and adopted the research tools of Rhoades et al. on pay for performance, Allen et al. on performance management, Wayne et al. on internal promotional opportunities, Williams and Anderson on task performance, and Hochwarter et al. on contextual performance. A total of 181 were returned but 150 questionnaires were useable for this study. The engineers indicated that only the internal promotional opportunities had a relationship with task performance and contextual performance. On the other hand, pay for performance and performance management had a relationship with contextual performance but not with task performance. Moreover, engineers indicated that none of the human resource practices, namely pay for performance, performance management, and internal promotional opportunities, had an impact on both of their job performance, namely task performance and contextual performance.
Nuts and bolts of digital heritage. Bringing the past into the virtual present
Authors: Gowlland Geoffrey , Ween Gro
Published: December 2019

In this introductory essay to the special issue, we identify key common themes that are developed in the article contributions. We start by attending to the qualities of what we call “digital heritage ecosystems”, and we reflect on the varied affordances that digital tools and platforms offer. We go on to address the complex political dimensions of digital heritage, and how structures of authority relating to heritage are constructed and can be destabilised by the digital. Finally, we take a look at what goes on behind the scenes of digital heritage initiatives, what is involved in setting up digital platforms and keeping the systems running.

This involves bringing to light the materiality of the digital, what it implies in terms of materials, costs and labour. We put forward these perspectives as a wayof domesticating the digital and dispelling some of its mystery to make it moreadapted to the needs of heritage work.

Since 2014, the National Museum of Denmark has collaborated with theCanadian organisations Kitikmeot Heritage Society (Cambridge Bay, Nunavut)and Geomatics & Cartographic Research Centre at Carleton University to makematerials from the Inuinnait (Copper Inuit) area collected during the 5th ThuleExpedition (1921–1924) digitally available firstly to people in Cambridge Bay,and secondly to a wider public. The ambition is now to make the totality of the5th Thule Expedition material digitally available through the so-called Tumisiutproject,in order to integrate it into a wider framework of a new Nordic curatorialand research collaboration around Arctic and Sub-Arctic collections. Pivotalaspects of these collaborations are discussions on various domains of ownershiprights such as “world heritage”, “cultural rights”, and “copyright”. The initial stepshave recently been taken by the National Museum of Denmark and the Museumof Cultural History, University of Oslo.

Authors: Falkenburg Jason
Published: December 2019

This article reflects on the digital exhibitionary approaches that wereexplored as part of the exhibition Looking Through Portals held at the CulturalHistory Museum in Oslo in 2018. The exhibition experimented with new ways ofdisplaying, representing and experiencing stave church portals. I discuss two ofthe exhibition’s installations that used digital technologies – a video display and a3D print. These point to how powers of suggestion in museum displays can bringvisitors to experience heritage in new ways.
