Cost-Effective Coastal Habitat Mapping: Detecting Intertidal Polychaete Aggregations with Low-Altitude Photogrammetry
Authors: Alves Renata M. S. , Van Colen Carl , Rabaut Marijn , De Wulf Alain , Vincx Magda , Stal Cornelis
Published: December 2019

Intertidal polychaete aggregations may be protected in the European Union under the Habitats Directive framework as reef habitats. Remote reef mapping remains challenging due to severe and dynamic conditions, as well as cover and spatial resolution requirements. This study (1) evaluated
kite aerial photography and low-altitude digital photogrammetry to map and monitor intertidal aggregations of a sessile tube-building polychaete, Lanice conchilega (L. conchilega), and (2) developed a protocol for its remote identification. Monthly campaigns yielded 12 aerial image sets which
were processed using structure-from-motion into high-precision digital terrain models and orthophoto mosaics. Maximum likelihood classification distinguished L. conchilega from bare sediment with an accuracy of 70% ± 23.2%. Aggregations were delineated by extracting elements of positive
elevation from local difference models. The method has proven useful to detect high-value aggregations, distinguishing these consistently. Nevertheless, systematic biases were present during delineation, and further characterisation of reference aggregations may improve detection.

“Da ‘A Arqueologia do Saber’ à Genealogia da Ética” ou Quando o futuro repete o passado: o cuidado de si e as políticas públicas de saúde na atualidade
Authors: Franceschini Bruno
Published: December 2019

Este artigo tem por objetivo discutir acerca das práticas do cuidado de si por meio da análise de campanhas veiculadas pelo Ministério da Saúde no tocante às infecções sexualmente transmissíveis em uma perspectiva arquegenealógica no escopo dos estudos discursivos de orientação foucaultiana. Dito isso, pretende-se analisar como há o delineamento do exercício de práticas de governamentalidade do corpo da população pelo funcionamento da biopolítica e do biopoder e como, frente a essas estratégias de poder, ocorre o cuidado de si em um movimento de práticas de liberdade em relação a práticas conservadoras exercidas por tais campanhas, as quais normatizam e normalizam os corpos e as condutas dos sujeitos no que tange à sexualidade. Os resultados deste estudo indicam que a educação sexual funciona como um modo de cuidado de si para que os sujeitos possam se constituir como bons governantes de suas condutas.
El «motu proprio» «Vos estis lux mundi»: contenidos y relación con otras normas del derecho canónico vigente
Authors: Sánchez-Girón Renedo José Luis
Published: December 2019

El m. p. Vos estis lux mundi (mayo de 2019) prescribe obligaciones canónicas relacionadas con informar a las autoridades de la Iglesia sobre abusos sexuales de menores y personas vulnerables, y conductas relacionadas con la pornografía infantil, que sean llevadas a cabo por clérigos (incluidos cardenales, obispos y legados) y religiosos/as; y también sobre acciones de gobierno en la Iglesia que eludan o interfieran la investigación de esos hechos. Sobre la respuesta final que se dé a los mismos, se remite más bien a lo que ya esté dispuesto en el derecho de Iglesia para cada caso, pero solo la obligatoriedad acerca de la información es ya un paso importante. El texto podría requerir alguna clarificación acerca del tratamiento que haya de darse a algunos de los hechos y conductas que recoge, y habrá de ponerse en relación con la legislación estatal en materia de obligaciones de informar.

Published: December 2019

En este artículo se describe una experiencia con estudiantes de una escuela primaria en Senegal, en el marco de una investigación sobre los dispositivos pedagógicos adaptados a grupos grandes. Para ello hicimos allí la transposición del dispositivo de pedagogía de proyectos, iniciado e implementado por más de treinta años por Annie Coüedel en la Universidad Paris 8, con el fin de responder a las grandes preocupaciones de la escuela en los países de África subsahariana, en general, y de Senegal, en particular. Se trata de asumir los efectos, que no cesan de aumentar, de la problemática del aprendizaje del francés como segunda lengua y de la adaptación de los contenidos de la enseñanza a las realidades de la vida cotidiana. Para tal efecto, hemos propuesto y demostrado la pertinencia de nuestro dispositivo como solución a este difícil asunto de los grupos grandes, por cuanto ha demostrado ser eficaz al proponer no solamente una pedagogía activa, sino también un proceso que le confiere valor a las lenguas nacionales. Finalmente, hemos aportado respuestas a la articulación entre el interior y el exterior, dado que nuestro dispositivo integra aprendizaje y necesidades sociales, culturales, políticas y económicas. Alineados con los principios del dispositivo, conjuntamente con los estudiantes, lo implementamos durante seis meses y logramos poner en funcionamiento proyectos que, en cierta media, han impulsado la transformación real de las actitudes de los estudiantes, de los docentes y de su entorno en muchos niveles.

Published: December 2019

While research on online tests in higher education is steadily growing, there is little evidence in the literature of the use of learning management systems (LMS), such as Blackboard™, as rich sources of data on online tests practices. This paper reports on an investigation that used data from Blackboard™ LMS to gain insight into the purpose for and practice of online tests at the Charles Darwin University (CDU) Business School in Australia. Focussing on curriculum and pedagogical practices, the paper identifies indications of good practice as well as potential issues related to curriculum mapping, including possible misalignment between learning outcomes and online tests. It also affirms the versatility of using data from LMSs in the study of e-assessment in general and online tests in particular.
Educational smartphone apps for language learning in higher education: Students’ choices and perceptions
Authors: Nami Fatemeh
Published: December 2019

The popularity and use of smartphone apps for language learning have significantly grown in Iran over the past years. Despite this growth, empirical data on students’ choice of such apps, their perception towards them, and the impact of external factors on their attitude remains scant. In an attempt to contribute to this research base, a descriptive survey study was carried out to explore the type of language learning apps commonly used by 381 university students at Amirkabir University of Technology and their perception towards the effectiveness of these apps for developing learning language skills. Dictionary and lexical apps appeared to be the most popular application types amongst participants. While students were generally positive about the use of apps for language learning, they had different viewpoints regarding the potential of apps for developing different language skills.  The results of ANOVA indicate that gender did not play a significant role in participants’ perception. On the contrary, the type of apps used significantly shaped students’ attitudes towards app-based language learning. The findings contribute to research on mobile assisted language learning and educational app design, by shedding more light on students’ choice of apps for learning different language skills.

Published: December 2019

Background

The change over time of distribution of breast cancer subtypes using population-based data has not been reported.

Objective

To describe the change over time of the distribution of female breast cancer by clinical subtype among the population in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Methods

Data of breast cancer patients from Chiang Mai Cancer Registry, diagnosed from 2004 to 2013 were combined with immunohistochemical status from medical record, and used to describe the proportions of clinical breast cancer subtypes: (1) luminal A-like (ER+/PR+ and HER2-), (2) luminal B-like (ER+/PR+ and HER2+), (3) HER2 (ER- and PR- and HER2+), (4) triple-negative (ER- and PR- and HER2-). The distribution of breast cancer subtypes by age group was also described.

Results

Among 3,228 female breast cancer cases diagnosed during 2004–2013, the median age was 52 years and most patients presented at the regional stage. The unknown tumor subtype was lower than 25% in the periods 2008– 2009, 2010–2011, and 2012–2013. In those periods, the proportions of luminal A-like were 33%, 36%, and 48%; the proportions of luminal B-like were 14%, 20%, and 16%, the proportions of HER2 were 15%, 14%, and 13%; and the proportions of triple-negative were 16%, 14%, and 13%, respectively. In comparison with other groups, women aged ≥60 years had a significantly higher proportion of luminal A-like (P = 0.001), while women aged <40 years tended to have a higher proportion of triple-negative (P = 0.10).

Conclusions

The proportion of breast cancer with luminal subtypes is increasing. Thus, in the future, treatment protocols with a variety of hormone therapies should be provided in order to improve efficacy and coverage of treatment for this population.
Time to blood cultures positivity of microorganisms using a continuous-monitoring automated blood cultures system
Authors: Krisanapan Pajaree , Chaiwarith Romanee
Published: December 2019

Background

Previous studies showed that clinically significant pathogens were detected within 3 days of incubation using a continuous monitoring automated blood culture instrument.

Objectives

To determine time to blood culture positivity (TTP) of microorganisms using a BD BACTEC™ FX.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital, Thailand from October to November 2014.

Results

One-hundred and eighty-one patients with 195 episodes of infection and 436 cultures were included in the analysis. Among 181 patients, 55.2% were male and the median age was 61 years (interquartile range (IQR) 50, 76). Of the 195 episodes of infections, the most common source was genitourinary tract (15.4%). Overall, the median TTP was 17 hours (IQR 11.5, 24.5), the shortest TTP was observed in Streptococcus agalactiae. Four-hundred and seventy-eight cultures (97.6%) and all (100%) were detected at 3 days and 5 days of incubation. Factors associated with TTP ≤24 hour were blood drawn from patients who had hematologic malignancy (odds ratio (OR) 9.6, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.2, 74.3, P = 0.030), endocarditis and vascular infection (OR 8.7, 95% CI 1.1, 67.2, P = 0.038), thrombocytopenia (OR 2.4, 95% CI 1.3, 4.4, P = 0.004), clinical of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) (OR 2.3, 95% CI 1.2, 4.5, P = 0.014), and not receiving antimicrobials within 72 hours before cultures taken (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.4, 3.6, P < 0.001).

Conclusions

TTP varied depends upon the pathogens and clinical settings. However, bacteria were isolated from almost, but not all of the blood cultures within 3 days of incubation.

Authors: Kraonual Sunee , Lim Apiradee , Ueranantasun Attachai , Kakchapati Sampurna
Published: December 2019

Background

Road traffic injuries are a major public health burden in developing countries. Thailand has the highest fatality rate from road traffic injuries in southeast Asia so that prevention of unintentional injuries is important.

Objective

To identify patient and injury characteristics associated with road traffic mortality in the southern provinces of Thailand.

Methods

Data on a total of 78,862 road traffic injuries recorded by the general hospitals in 5 southern provinces of Thailand, during 2008–2013, were obtained from the Office of Disease Prevention and Control. Chi-squared test was used to determine the association between patient/injury characteristics and road traffic mortality, and logistic regression was used to identify the strength of associations.

Results

In this study, road traffic mortality was found to be 1.8% of all injuries. Most of the deaths occurred in males (61.7%), who were aged 25–44 years (35.8%), being drivers (68.6%), using motorcycle (78.4%), and not wearing a helmet (61.0%). Road traffic mortality was higher among males, older age people, those who were not wearing a helmet or not fastening a seat belt, pedestrians and when people crashed with or by motor car, with wound being penetrating or blunt with penetrating, and when they were having head or neck, chest, or abdominal or pelvic cavity injuries.

Conclusion

Policies and measures for reducing road traffic mortality should focus on males and older aged persons, use of safety devices, and occurrence of multiple injuries.
Is The Criminal Justice System A Barrier To Entrepreneurship In Fragile Communities?
Authors: Price Gregory N.
Published: December 2019

In fragile communities where a high proportion of residents have limited opportunities for economic and social mobility, self-employment and entrepreneurship are possible pathways to economic and social mobility. If, for example, individuals perceive policing and offender sentencing as racially discriminatory and/or untrustworthy, criminal justice in fragile communities could potentially be a barrier to an individual’s decision to start a business, as such a decision can be sensitive to whether the legal system will protect individual property rights. This paper considers how, in fragile communities, individual fairness assessments and perceptions of the criminal justice system condition nascent entrepreneurship abandonment—individuals who considered starting a business but did not. With data from the Center for Advancing Opportunity Fragile Community Survey on over 5,000 individuals in the United States, we estimate latent variable specifications of abandoned individual aspirations to start a business as a function of several measures of their fairness assessment/perception of the criminal justice system. Parameter estimates reveal that the likelihood of abandoned nascent entrepreneurship increases with respect to increases in an individual’s assessment/perception that the criminal justice system is unfair in their community. Our results suggest that the criminal justice system is a barrier to entrepreneurship for residents of fragile communities, and that criminal justice reforms that promote fairness in policing and the courts could enhance economic and social mobility in fragile communities by increasing the likelihood of individuals starting businesses.

Coenzyme Q10 nanostructured lipid carriers as an inducer of the skin fibroblast cell and its irritability test in a mice model
Authors: Shoviantari Fenita , Erawati Tristiana , Soeratri Widji
Published: December 2019

Background

Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble antioxidant that can help to prevent collagen and elastin damage and avoid wrinkles. Coenzyme Q10 has several disadvantages to be formulated in topical dosage forms, such as low water solubility and large molecular weight. These make coenzyme Q10 retained in the stratum corneum and cause low skin penetration, so proper formulation is required to get products that can penetrate the skin layer. A nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) consists of a matrix of solid lipids and liquid lipids in a certain amount with nanoparticle size; it may help increase the penetration of active ingredients.

Methods

For the antiaging activity test, mice were grouped into four treatment groups and killed on the 14th day; then the back of the skin was stained with Masson trichrome staining. For the irritation test, the mice were grouped into three groups and killed after 24 h; then the back of the mice was stained with hematoxylin-eosin staining.

Results

The number of fibroblasts in mice with NLC coenzyme Q10 is highest from all test groups. The irritation test results after 24 h of application preparation showed that NLC coenzyme Q10 did not irritate the skin of the back of male mice.

Conclusions

One percent coenzyme Q10 loaded in NLC induced the number of fibroblast cells in the mice model and showed no irritability effect in histopathology preparations.

Published: December 2019

A scheme to suppress nonlinear intermodulation distortion in microwave photonic (MWP) link is proposed by using polarizers to compensate inherent non-linear behavior of dual-electrode Mach-Zehnder modulator (DE-MZM). Insertion losses and extinction ratio have also been considered. Simulation results depict that spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) of proposed link reaches to 130.743 dB.Hz2/3. A suppression of 41 dB in third order intermodulation distortions and an improvement of 15.3 dB is reported when compared with the conventional link. In addition, an electrical spectrum at different polarization angles is extracted and

Investigating the incidence rate and geographical distribution of congenital hypothyroidism among neonates in Isfahan province using geographic information system (GIS) between 2002 and 2015
Authors: Karimi Arezoo , Hashemipour Mahin , Asadollahi Khairollah , Daliri Salman
Published: December 2019

Background

Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is one of the main causes of mental retardation in neonates. The disease is associated with genetic, climatic and environmental factors. Accordingly, the present study was conducted to determine the incidence rate and correlation of geographic factors with CH in Isfahan province in order to explain the role of climatic factors in the incidence of disease in this province.

Methods

This cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the incidence rate and geographical distribution of CH in neonates born in the Isfahan province from the beginning of 2002 to the end of 2015. To estimate the geographic distribution, the ArcGIS software (version 10.3) was used and to investigate the relationship between geographical factors and CH, the Poisson regression test and dispersion diagrams were used. Data analysis was done using the SPSS16 software.

Results

According to the results of the screening of 1,006,404 neonates born in Isfahan, the mean incidence rate of CH in all infants was 2.3, and that in male and female infants was 2.39 and 2.2 per 1000 live births, respectively. There was a statistically significant correlation between the city of residence (p = 0.01), climatic conditions (p = 0.044), annual precipitation (p = 0.027), sunlight (p = 0.01) and CH. However, there was no significant relationship between the mean altitude above sea level (p = 0.6), land use (p = 0.4) and relative humidity (p = 0.24).

Conclusions

Based on the findings of this study, the incidence rate of CH in Isfahan province was higher than the average of the country. Moreover, among the geographical factors, climatic conditions, annual precipitation and sunlight were associated with CH.
Topological and metric entropy for group and semigroup actions
Authors: Stoyanov Luchezar
Published: December 2019

It is well-known that the classical definition of topological entropy for group and semigroup actions is frequently zero in some rather interesting situations, e.g. smooth actions of ℤk+ (k >1) on manifolds. Different definitions have been considered by several authors. In the present article we describe the one proposed in 1995 by K.H.Hofmann and the author which produces topological entropy not trivially zero for such smooth actions. We discuss this particular approach, and also some of the main properties of the topological entropy defined in this way, its advantages and disadvantages compared with the classical definition. We also discuss some recent results, obtained jointly with Andrzej Biś, Dikran Dikranjan and Anna Giordano Bruno, of a similar definition of metric entropy, i.e. entropy with respect to an invariant measure for a group or a semigroup action, and some of its properties.

Published: December 2019

Stanelle, ST, McLaughlin, KL, and Crouse, SF. One week of L-citrulline supplementation improves performance in trained cyclists. J Strength Cond Res 34(3): 647–652, 2020—L-citrulline (CIT) is a nonessential amino acid that is touted as an ergogenic aid for athletic performance because of its purported ability to stimulate nitric oxide production. Although previous research has demonstrated that CIT supplementation over a period of days improves physiological factors such as V̇o
2 kinetics, no studies to date have explored whether there is a direct benefit to endurance performance. This study used a randomized, double-blind, crossover design to test whether chronic supplementation with pure CIT improves cycling performance over a maltodextrin placebo (PLAC). Nine trained male cyclists (24 ± 3 years; 181 ± 7 cm; 76 ± 13 kg; 4.18 ± 0.51 L·min−1 V̇o
2max) completed two 7-day supplementation periods (6 g·d−1 of CIT or PLAC) separated by a 7-day washout. Subjects consumed the final 6-g dose 2 hours before the cycling performance evaluation, which consisted of a 40-km time trial (TT) followed by a supramaximal sprint repeat task (SRT). Paired t-tests and repeated-measures analysis of variance (α = 0.05) were used to analyze TT and SRT data, respectively. CIT supplementation produced an improvement in TT time of 5.2% that trended toward significance (p = 0.08). Furthermore, CIT promoted a significant increase in average heart rate, average rating of perceived exertion, and average power throughout the TT (p < 0.05). However, supplementation with CIT did not prevent fatigue during the SRT. Overall, this study is the first to demonstrate that CIT supplementation may provide a modest improvement to endurance cycling performance in trained athletes.
Selecting an Appropriate Shear Plate Configuration to Measure Elastic Wave Velocities
Authors: Otsubo Masahide , O’Sullivan Catherine , Ackerley Steven , Parker Duncan
Published: December 2019

The (small-strain) elastic moduli of soil can be determined from stress wave velocity measurements. Bender/extender elements are widely used in laboratory experiments; however, discussion on how to accurately determine wave velocities using this method continues. Planar piezoelectric transducers (sometimes called shear plates) are a relatively new technology, whose use is not yet widely established, that appear to offer some advantages in comparison with bender/extender elements for laboratory geophysics tests. This contribution critically assesses the use of planar piezoelectric elements experimentally and using discrete element method (DEM) simulations. Planar piezoelectric elements capable of generating and receiving either shear or compression waves were placed in the top and base caps of a triaxial apparatus. Samples of glass ballotini were used so that stress wave propagation simulations could be performed on equivalent virtual samples using DEM. The appropriate shear plate configuration to effectively measure the shear wave velocity is explored. Considering both time- and frequency-domain responses, it is revealed that shear plate signals are sensitive to the surface area and thickness of the piezoelectric elements and to the lateral boundary conditions. Using a shear plate with the widest possible surface area exposed to the soil specimen is recommended to increase the signal-to-noise ratio and to produce more planar shear waves, resulting in a more accurate measurement of shear wave velocity.
Country Music for People Who Don't Like Country Music
Authors: Hollowell Adam , Miller Alexandria
Published: December 2019

This essay explores white masculinity and the recuperation of privilege in the figure of Sturgill Simpson, an American country music singer from Jackson, Kentucky. Operating at the intersection of country music studies and third wave whiteness studies, it demonstrates how Simpson deploys the outsider identity of the industry outlaw to recuperate insider benefits of critical acclaim, commercial success, and creative license. As an artist who makes country music for “people who don't like country music,” Simpson functions as a representative figure of the adaptive tactics of white masculinity and the broader politics of inclusion and exclusion in contemporary country music.

“Sameness” as A Form of Hegemony to Create Utopian Society in Lois Lowry’s “The Giver”
Authors: Zen Umu Nisbatul Fauziah , Hetami Fatma
Published: December 2019

Hegemony is defined as a condition under which a group establishes its supremacy not only by physical force but also through a consensual submission of the people who are dominated. This study aims to describe how “Sameness” is represented as a form of hegemony to create utopian society in The Giver and to describe the kinds of hegemony found in the novel. The methodology used in this study was descriptive-qualitative. By using sociological approach, this study analyzed the novel from the point of view of hegemony, a theory developed by Antonio Gramsci. There were two objects of the study, namely material object which was The Giver novel and formal object taken from the analysis of the novel using theory of hegemony. The results of this study show that system of “Sameness” is represented as a form of hegemony to create utopian society, seen from the episode of climate control which is created to avoid unpredictable weather, episode of family unit to control the populations of the community by regulating some procedures and rituals, episode of assignments by observing each of the citizens’ interest through volunteer hours and recreation time, episode of precision of language and attitude to keep good communication and behavior; episode of no individual choices, episode of artificial sense which limit the vision, audio, and feeling after the removal of memory, and episode of punishments for rule breakers. There are three kinds of hegemony found in the novel based on the level of domination and resistance, namely Integral hegemony which is seen from the full obedience of the citizens towards the authority of the Committee of Elders, Decadent hegemony which is depicted by the citizens’ disrespect and boredom towards the rules, and Minimal hegemony which happens due to the the resistance from the Receiver of Memory against the Committee of Elders despite the transformismo.

Deconstructing the Portrayal of Adults’ Superiority towards Children in Frances Hodgson Burnett’s "A Little Princess"
Authors: INAYAH NUR , Purwanto Bambang
Published: December 2019

This study discusses how the portrayal of adults’ superiority towards children in the novel A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett is deconstructed by the work itself. The adults’ superiority is portrayed in the novel, in which the adults are depicted as more superior figure than children. However, the perfect descriptions of the children as portrayed by Sara in the novel show that the hierarchy in child-adult relationship is able to be reversed. This study uses descriptive qualitative method supported by Structuralism’s binary opposition and Derrida’s Deconstruction reading strategy. The aim of this study is to destabilize the novel, A Little Princess, by applying Deconstruction reading strategy. This study shows that the novel deconstructs its portrayal of adults’ superiority towards children. So, by destabilizing the binary opposition in the novel, that is an adult opposes a child, the child-adult hierarchy is reversed.

Estereótipos de género nos livros infantis premiados
Authors: Nunes Andreia Filipa
Published: December 2019

Neste artigo revisitamos as conclusões mais importantes de uma investigação conduzida por esta autora no âmbito do seu Mestrado, onde analisou os estereótipos de género nos livros premiados pela SPA / RTP na categoria "Melhor Livro Infantil e Juvenil" de 2010 a 2017 e indagou sobre a presença de questões de género nos critérios subjacentes à sua seleção. As conclusões desta investigação vão ao encontro das conclusões de vários outros estudos internacionais, nomeadamente a sub-representação feminina, evidente na sua total ausência como personagens centrais. Outras desigualdades de género foram também identificadas em categorias como: hobbies, tempo de lazer e tarefas domésticas / responsabilidades, onde os períodos de descanso e "não fazer nada" dos personagens masculinos contrastam com as tarefas de cozinhar e limpar atribuídas às personagens femininas. Uma conclusão surpreendente foi a não linearidade das mensagens de género, podendo o mesmo livro alternar entre mensagens estereotipadas e outras promotoras de igualdade.
La tesis doctoral de Marx
Authors: Anzola Moreno Johan Nicolás
Published: December 2019

La tesis doctoral que desarrolló Marx entre 1838 y 1841 fue uno de los primeros trabajos filosóficos del pensador nacido en Tréveris. En el trabajo, que tituló Diferencia entre la filosofía de la naturaleza de Demócrito y Epicuro, quiere demostrar que hay una diferencia específica entre estos dos autores. Más allá de esto, el objetivo general era demostrar que las escuelas posaristotélicas o helénicas tienen un pensamiento propio que no copia ninguna de las tesis de sus predecesores. Pero, ¿por qué Marx tomó a Demócrito y Epicuro y no a otros autores, como Sexto Empírico, Zenón de Citio o Antístenes? ¿Qué método utilizó Marx al realizar su tesis doctoral? En este escrito se quiere retomar ese texto, que para algunos no tiene mayor relevancia dentro de los primeros intereses filosóficos del alemán, para dilucidar que ya tenía nociones de un humanismo en el cual la libertad de la naturaleza física prima y en el que históricamente se empieza a acercar a las nociones materialistas y a dejar de lado los empantanados ríos de la metafísica hegeliana.
La sociedad normalizadora en Foucault. A propósito de los sujetos y sujetas al poder
Authors: Rincón Murcia Ángela Patricia
Published: December 2019

En el primer apartado del presente artículo busca evidenciarse la importancia del cuerpo en la práctica política a través del estudio de la antinomia vida-política, que desemboca en la configuración del Estado moderno. En este, el cuerpo individual padece sufrimiento y dolor como resultado de la lógica política de dicho contexto, cuyas estrategias se solidifican mediante las técnicas de poder denominadas anatomopolítica y biopolítica. Posteriormente, se reflexiona sobre el dolor como práctica de dominación política del gobierno neoliberal sobre la corporalidad del sujeto a través de la lógica del hacer vivir dentro de lo que se concibe como el ejercicio de la normalización. Esta última se consigue a través de la vigilancia jerárquica y la sanción normalizadora, que, en oposición a Marx, Foucault no localiza en el Estado sino en la microfísica de poder. Ello permitirá concluir con la invitación a repensar la anatomopolítica como aspecto fundamental de la política y los sujetos y sujetas que la constituyen.
A Note on Confidence Intervals and Model Specification
Authors: Otter Thomas
Published: December 2019

Empirical research in marketing often is, at least in parts, exploratory. The goal of exploratory research, by definition, extends beyond the empirical calibration of parameters in well established models and includes the empirical assessment of different model specifications. In this context researchers often rely on the statistical information about parameters in a given model to learn about likely model structures. An example is the search for the 'true' set of covariates in a regression model based on confidence intervals of regression coefficients. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate and compare different measures of statistical information about model parameters in the context of a generalized linear model: classical confidence intervals, bootstrapped confidence intervals, and Bayesian posterior credible intervals from a model that adapts its dimensionality as a function of the information in the data. I find that inference from the adaptive Bayesian model dominates that based on classical and bootstrapped intervals in a given model.

Ancient Family Names in the Onymic System of the Slavonic and Baltic Languages
Authors: Gurskaja Julia
Published: December 2019

This article considers the problem of the formation of ancient family names in the modern Belarus area, which are investigated in their areal, topological and comparative historical aspects.In the article, the time of the appearance of ancient family names in the territory of Belarus, their semantics and structure are analysed, and their connection to the toponyms of the investigated region is revealed.The organized corpus of family names is characterized by the following features: 1) early inclusion in written monuments; 2) the presence of the appropriate family names in other Indo-European languages; 3) lexemes as a part of family names may be interpreted on the basis of their Indo-European roots; 4) diversity of the family name;5) the presence in the composition of a family name of components correlated with another onym group: toponyms, ethnonyms or hydronyms.The majority of ancient family names in the Belarus territory were formed during the time of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The formation of the knightly clans dates from the end of the 14th and the beginning of the 15th centuries and is connected with the state activities of the Great Lithuanian Prince Vitovt. Among the family names of that time, those formed on the basis of ancient complex Indo-European names can be singled out. These family names correspond to family names in the Lithuanian language. A majority of these names have Slavonic formants.Ancient family names going back to the binomial anthroponyms are not distributed evenly throughout the modern Belarus area. One can mark out two territories of high productivity: 1) the Baltic–Slavonic frontier, and 2) the central part of Belarus. As one moves further away from the Baltic–Slavonic frontier, the investigated units change their structure and undergo adaptations. Individual family names still preserve ancient forms with the connecting vowel [i] -i-: Жыг-i-монт, Радз-i-вiл, Эйс-ы-монт, etc. A considerable number of ancient family names made their marks in the conceptual picture of the world of the Belarusian people. These units have brought the modern Belarus area into the broader European context and contributed to the preservation of historical and cultural memory.
Paintings as Objects of Discourse Analysis: Two Case Studies
Authors: Łuczkiewicz Magdalena
Published: December 2019

This article analyses paintings as texts, and examines two paintings visually from different perspectives in order to understand the messages they provide to the audience. Both paintings were created by the Polish painter Zbigniew Maciej Dowgiałło, and present the time of Martial Law in Poland (1981–1983). The article describes the social and political events that took place in communist Poland before and during the imposition of Martial Law. The intention of setting the historical background is to make the time of Martial Law more realistic to the reader. The analysis is presented in the form of individual case studies of each work of art, making use of certain discourse categories (in particular, with the help of the categories of colour, line, character, disposition, opposition and intertextuality). Each category enriches the process of the reconstruction of the content of the text presented in these paintings. It was determined that colour is symbolic in the analysed pictures, serving to bring out emotional value through a variety of associations. It is expressive in form. It was found that varied types of lines are used, not only to frame shapes but also to express emotions. The characters found in the analysed pictures belong to completely different realities, the unreal world (uncommon animals) and the real world (figures of three men). The reconstruction of the unreal world is based on identifying and decoding the artistic visions of the artist, whose painting inspires the imagination and fascinates the viewer. The reconstruction of the content of the painting The Wujek Mine is dependent on certain historical facts. Without some knowledge of the time of Martial Law, reconstruction would be incomplete. The category of intertextuality proves that some other painters and writers have also dealt with the ideas discussed in the analysed paintings. The titles of both paintings are of an informative character and present the source of inspiration. The article concludes that by regarding paintings as texts, it can be seen that the artist sends numerous ideas and content messages to the audience.
