El panóptico de Foucault en la sociedad actual: nuevos enfoques en el arte
Authors: Lapena Gallego Gloria
Published: May 2020

Desde los inicios de la humanidad hasta finales de la Edad Media, la imagen del universo reflejaba una visión teológica, para girar en torno al hombre en el siglo XVI. Con la llegada de la revolución industrial, de la concepción cíclica del tiempo propugnada por el Humanismo se pasa a la idea moderna de progreso. Por último, se produce la evolución de la sociedad disciplinaria organizada en torno a la fábrica como lugar cerrado y en la que el individuo sabe quien ostenta el poder, hasta la sociedad de control en la era tecnológica actual deslocalizada en empresas con individuos que tienen acceso a la información hasta cierto nivel. El hombre se sitúa en el panóptico y sabe que está siendo observado, convertido en una forma de entretenimiento voyeurístico y exhibicionista. La perversión del mundo informatizado en el que el optimismo ante la posibilidad de verlo todo, se contrapone al control de la información y a la vigilancia permanente. Esta deshumanización afecta también al terreno plástico, que pretende dar soluciones a través de un arte participativo con nuevos planteamientos, estéticas y soportes. Obras abiertas que deben ser ejecutadas, y no solo leídas.
Estudios educativos sobre la conciencia histórica: temas y problemas
Authors: Coudannes Aguirre Mariela Alejandra
Published: May 2020

En el presente artículo se ofrece un panorama de los estudios educativos que se ocupan de la conciencia histórica. El recorrido que se propone es uno entre varios posibles y se centra específicamente en los aportes a las investigaciones en Didáctica de la Historia de las últimas décadas. En esta selección de trabajos europeos y americanos (vista desde América del Sur) destaca la preocupación por clarificar los factores que influyen en la conciencia histórica y los mecanismos para su construcción. También el rol que todavía puede cumplir la escuela en la elaboración de narrativas que vinculen pasado – presente – futuro, sin olvidar algunos problemas y obstáculos en contextos concretos. Las últimas investigaciones suponen además que las personas deben asumirse como actores que pueden modificar su realidad, por lo que la relación entre lo individual y lo colectivo es un aspecto a tener en cuenta en los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje.
La cultura artística en la sociedad actual: un acercamiento a los conocimientos e intereses sobre el Arte de la población española
Authors: Ferreira Fernández Myriam
Published: May 2020

Este estudio pretende acercarse a los intereses y preferencias de la sociedad española actual hacia el mundo del Arte. Para ello, se intentan valorar los conocimientos generales de la población sobre Arte. Se analiza la presencia de la Historia del Arte en la enseñanza actual, así como qué peso tienen los libros sobre Arte publicados y leídos en el último año. Además, se recogen las estadísticas de los museos para valorar la presencia de los visitantes y las exposiciones más visitadas. Estos datos se cotejan con publicaciones sobre el tema, tanto en libros como en artículos académicos. La conclusión es que los conocimientos artísticos son limitados y eso orienta a los visitantes hacia manifestaciones artísticas preferentemente figurativas y avaladas ya por un prestigio previo, así como a retrospectivas muy publicitadas que se convierten en eventos, casi en espectáculos. Por eso, se propone una orientación más didáctica en las publicaciones y eventos artísticos, que vaya formando al espectador y aumentando así su interés por el mundo del Arte.
El pasado en las claves del presente: el significado histórico para comprender y analizar el mundo actual con rigor
Authors: Jiménez Zamora Isidoro
Published: May 2020

El siglo XXI debe apostar por una transmisión de la Historia de manera diferente. Sin perder el rigor académico podemos servirnos de esta disciplina para su uso en las explicaciones de cualquier acontecimiento o situación de crisis que se produce en el mundo actual. Existen nuevas técnicas que nos permiten explicar el sentido de la Historia en cada momento de nuestra vida. Tomando como ejemplo el siglo XVI y el Imperio de Carlos V podemos hacer un ejercicio de análisis que nos conduce fácilmente a claves de actualidad que pasan por el nacimiento del estado moderno, su configuración territorial o la relación de España con América. El afán didáctico de todo lo que contamos debe ser fundamental. Hemos de evitar distorsiones gracias al conocimiento del ayer. La Historia nos ayudará a aportar coherencia al mensaje y a profundizar en la creación de una sociedad rigurosa, tolerante, plural y respetuosa.
Proyecto Heliox: Entornos de interacción para la diversidad funcional
Authors: Toboso Mario , Feltrero Roberto , Maltrás Bruno
Published: May 2020

El diseño y la realización de los entornos influyen en las posibilidades de funcionamiento de las personas, de una manera capacitante o discapacitante. Los esfuerzos tradicionales para eliminar barreras físicas y arquitectónicas han evolucionado hacia una visión más amplia y ‘universalista’ de las exigencias accesibilidad. En el caso de las nuevas tecnologías, la falta de accesibilidad produce desigualdades y brechas tecnológicas en dos aspectos clave: el acceso y el uso. La combinación de estas dos desigualdades conduce a la desigualdad de oportunidades para las personas y grupos sociales afectados por la brecha tecnológica. Con el objetivo de facilitar el acceso y uso del ordenador a personas con funcionamiento no estándar, se presenta la solución tecnológica ‘Heliox’, basada en los principios de diseño para todos, funcionalidad abierta y multimodalidad representacional de los recursos tecnológicos en el entorno de las TIC.

Authors: Mossello Fabián Gabriel
Published: May 2020

Las prácticas de la lectura y la escritura han sufrido, en los últimos años, profundas transformaciones en respuesta al mundo post-industrial cambiante que nos enfrentamos como maestros. La ampliación del objeto literario a nuevos espacios de expresión cultural, está revisando conceptos como el canon, la belleza, el género, el papel del lector, así como la reformulación de lo que significa para leer y escribir literatura en un contexto universitario. En este sentido, consideramos que si la universidad se ha adaptado a estos diversos escenarios culturales e históricos con el fin de ser capaz de formar lectores y escritores eficaces en el nuevo contexto cultural y más específicamente en el literario. Probablemente deberíamos revisar nuestro papel mediador en el aula para que podamos articular productivamente las expectativas de lectura y escritura a cada estudiante tiene y la oferta académica de la universidad. En este artículo vamos a tratar con los principales problemas relacionados con la lectura y la escritura de la literatura en la Universidad; y vamos a elaborar una propuesta para un taller curricular articulando estas dos actividades, mientras que la integración de las contribuciones específicas didácticas en la enseñanza de la literatura y disciplinas como la teoría literaria, la semiótica y la crítica.
Ceticismo versus cosmopolitismo: uma análise das perspectivas de Robert Dahl e de David Held sobre o sentido da democracia no contexto da globalização
Authors: Pereira Alexsandro Eugenio
Published: May 2020

O propósito deste artigo é comparar duas perspectivas analíticas que interpretaram as possibilidades de democra-tização das organizações internacionais (OIGs) nos anos 1990 e 2000. A primeira dessas perspectivas é sustentada por autores como Robert Dahl e Philippe Schmitter que consideram improvável a realização da democracia fora do espaço dos Estados nacionais. Eles seriam “céticos”, para empregar o termo utilizado por Dahl para se referir à sua perspectiva. De outro lado, David Held sustentou uma interpretação mais otimista ao defender que a natureza da democracia contemporâ-nea sofreu alterações resultantes do processo de globalização econômica. Por essa razão, Held considerou possível tanto a democratização das OIGs como o desenvolvimento de uma “cidadania cosmopolita”, situada acima dos limites dos Estados. Para desenvolver o contraponto entre estas duas perspectivas, este artigo realizará uma revisão bibliográfica da produção dos dois autores e estará dividido em duas seções principais. A primeira delas examinará a perspectiva “cética” de Robert Dahl com relação à possibilidade de democratização das organizações internacionais. A segunda seção examinará a pers-pectiva cosmopolita de David Held. Nas considerações finais, o artigo identificará os elementos de reflexão gerados pelas duas perspectivas a respeito do sentido da democracia no contexto da globalização.

Authors: Ali Mohammed , Islam A K M Mynul , Haque Salina , Hasan Md. Kamrul , Rahman Md. Hafizur , Rupom Touhid Uddin , Aziz Md. Abdul , Rahman Md. Mahbubur
Published: May 2020

Background: Diagnosis of lymphoma is a critical issue in Bangladesh and still we have to rely on histopathology reports as limited number of centres doing immunohistochemistry (IHC) with panel of incomplete markers. Previously in most of the cases of lymphomas, IHC was not done due to financial constraint and lack of facilities. But IHC is essential for categorization according to WHO classification 2008, through which we can optimize appropriate therapy and predict outcome. Objective: To evaluate the discordance of diagnosis of lymphoma by combined histopathology and immunohistochemistry, and histopathology alone. Methodology: This is a comparative cross-sectional study of diagnoses of lymphoma by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in combination with histopathology of paraffin embedded tissue blocks with histopathology alone of suspected cases of lymphoma treated in the department of Haematology of National Institute of Cancer Research and Hospital (NICR&H) from May 2016 to November 2016. Preliminary histopathological examination was done on tissue biopsy in suspected case of lymphoma and subsequently IHC was done to know the discordance of initial diagnosis with final diagnosis after combined histopathology and IHC. Results: Out of 68 patients 57 (83.8%) were diagnosed as lymphoma on the basis of histopathology alone, among which 41 (60.3%) cases were diagnosed as Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) and 16 (23.5%) cases as Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL).After combined histopathology and IHC 61 (89.7%) cases were confirmed as lymphoma of which 50 (73.5%0 were NHL and 11 (16.2%) were HL. Discordance of diagnosis was found in 18 (27%) cases between the two methods of diagnosis. Conclusion: Subjective variation in the accuracy of diagnosis of lymphoma on the basis of histopathology alone may occur. Inclusion of IHC with histopathology improves the accuracy of diagnosis of lymphoma.

Published: May 2020

Background: Therapeutic platelet transfusion is necessary to prevent bleeding due to thrombocytopenia in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). Platelet concentrates may be transfused as fresh platelet concentrate immediately or with five days of storage after collection Objectives: To compare the platelet count increment between fresh and stored platelet concentrate transfusion in children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.  Methodology: This observational study was carried out in the Department of Clinical Pathology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, in collaboration with the Department of Transfusion Medicine and Paediatric Haemato-Oncology, BSMMU, Dhaka. Seventy-two children diagnosed as acute lymphoblastic leukaemia were included in this study. ABO identical whole-blood derived platelet-rich-plasma platelet concentrates (PRP-PCs) were transfused within 24 hours of preparation or 1-5 days of storage. Effectiveness of platelet transfusion was carried out by measuring platelet count prior to transfusion, subsequently 1 hour and 24 hours of transfusion. Result: Post transfusion platelet count at 1 hour and 24 hours with fresh platelet concentrates (FPC) and stored platelet concentrates (SPC) were not statistically significant. Post transfusion platelet increment at 1 hour and 24 hours were also similar in both FPC and SPC. Corrected count increment (CCI) at 1 hour in FPC and SPC were 20.5±10.1 and 18.6 ±6.5 respectively and was statistically not significant (P: 0.168). CCI at 24 hours were 15.5±9.1 and 13±5.8 which were also statistically not significant. Percentage platelet recovery at 1 hour and 24 hours in both FPC and SPC were statistically not significant. But these values in SPC were consistently lower than that of FPC. All the values of FPC and SPC were well apart from the lower limit of CCI and percentage platelet recovery (PPR). It was also observed that 85.1% satisfactory platelet transfusion was achieved with FPC and rest of 14.9% was platelet refractory cases. In 79.5% cases satisfactory platelet transfusion were achieved with SPC and refractory cases were 20.5 %.  Conclusion: One to five day’s stored PRP-PCs are as effective as fresh PRP-PCs to achieve satisfactory platelet increment.

Published: May 2020

Background: Aberrant expression of cluster differentiation (CD) antigen marker is associated with poor outcome of acute leukaemia. Objective: Aim of this study is to determine the frequency and pattern of aberrant expression of CD markers in acute myeloid leukaemia patients in Bangladesh. Methods: This retrospective data analysis was conducted in the Department of Haematology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) to assess the frequency of aberrant CD antigen expression in acute myeloid leukaemia from October 2016 to September 2017. During this period, we did one hundred flow cytometry of acute leukaemia patients and among them we found 48 acute myeloid Leukaemia (AML) who were included in this study. Result: Mean age of patients was 35 years (SD­ +14 years; Rang 3 to 50 years) with male: female ratio of 0.92. Four colour flow cytometry was done on fresh bone marrow aspirates and peripheral blood. Among 48 AML patients, aberrant CD expression was observed in 58% cases.  CD5 and cCD79a lymphoid markers were seen to be expressed in 32% cases of AML. Aberrant cCD3 and CD7 were expressed in 29% and 25% cases respectively and aberrant CD10, CD19, cCD22 were expressed in 11%, 3%, 3% cases acute myeloid leukaemia patients respectively. Conclusion: Aberrant CD antigen expression is not uncommon in AML patients of Bangladeshi population that may adversely affect the treatment outcome of the disease.
Haemolytic Anaemia: A Diagnostic Dilemma
Authors: Chowdhury Md. Rezaul Karim , Hasan Mohammad Quamrul , Rashid Md. Haroon Ur
Published: May 2020

It is sometime difficult to find out the cause of haemolysis in haemolytic anaemia due to inconclusive results of investigation. Diagnosis of immune haemolytic anaemia is often difficult when Coomb’s test is negative. Here we present such a case of fourteen years old girl who presented with haemolytic anaemia with negative Coomb’s test. Due to high clinical suspicion we labelled her as a case of Coomb’s negative immune haemolytic anaemia and she responded well to steroid.

Published: May 2020

Granulocytic sarcoma also called myeloid sarcoma (MS) is an extramedullary tumour of immature granulocytic cells. It is a rare entity and most frequently associated with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) but can occur with other myeloproliferative disorders. It may occur at any site, leading to very varied clinical presentations. Although it can occur in a number of areas of the body, the involvement of the breast is uncommon. We present a rare case of MS in a 14?year?old boy with a non-tender lump in the left breast that had been apparent for five months. Available diagnostic techniques, including ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging were systematically performed. After mastectomy, biopsy and immunohistochemistry was done. Immuno-histochemical stains were positive for CD45 (haematological marker) and myeloid markers, such as myeloperoxidase (MPO), and CD68, CD43 suggesting the diagnosis of MS. Although MS is a rare tumour in breast and its diagnosis is usually difficult, the clinician must know about its existence to make differential diagnosis.

Background: Fever in severe chemotherapy induced neutropenic patients is the most frequent manifestation of a potentially lethal complication of current intensive chemotherapy regimen. Objective: The aim of this study is identification of risk factors of fever in neutropenic children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Methodology: This observational study was carried out in the department of pediatric haematology and oncology department during the period of 1st February 2013 to 31st January 2014. Patients detailed history and behavioral pattern regarding the supportive management (neutropenic diet, use of acriflavine solution, nystatin oral solution, mouth wash with povidone iodine), total duration of hospital stay, duration of neutropenia, number of attendants during hospital stay were recorded. Blood, urine and wound swab culture was done. Result: Out of 40 patients most of the studied child were in induction phase of therapy. The mean hospital stay was 8.56±6.75 days and mean number of attendants with each patient was 2.02±0.65. Majority of the patient were on neutropenic diet and freshly cooked food (87.5%). This study shows a large portion (52.5%) of the studied population did not use acriflavine as per advice. It also revealed majority of the child did not use povidone iodine mouth wash (52.5%) and nystatin (47.5%). as per advice. A total of 10 patients (25%) revealed growth of pathogens. Among them blood culture was positive in 4 patients, urine culture was positive in 3 patients and wound swab culture was positive in 3 patients. This study showed that major portion (65%) of the febrile neutropenic child suffered from malnutrition. Conclusion: This study showed that majority of the patient did not properly follow the advice regarding behavioral and supportive management. Duration of hospital stay and number of attendants were also high. Malnutrition was present in a large portion of the child.

Long term study of this kind will help us to develop safe clinical transfusion practice.
When You CAN See the Difference: The Phonetic Basis of Sonority in American Sign Language
Authors: Luchkina Tatiana , Koulidobrova Elena , Palmer Jeffrey
Published: May 2020

Spoken and signed languages (SL) deliver perceptual cues which exhibit various degrees of perceptual validity during categorization: In spoken languages, listeners develop perceptual biases when integrating multiple acoustic dimensions during auditory categorization (Holt & Lotto, 2006). This leads us to expect differential perceptual validity for dynamic gestural units HANDSHAPE, MOVEMENT, ORIENTATION, and LOCATION produced by manual articulators in SLs. In this study, we use a closed-set sentence discrimination task developed by Bochner et al. (2011) to evaluate the perceptual saliency of the gestural components of signs in American Sign Language (ASL) for naïve signers and deaf L2 learners of ASL proficient in another SL. Our goal is to gauge which of these features are likely to present the phonetic basis of sonority in sign modality and relay phonemic contrasts perceptible for even first-time signers.25 deaf L2 ASL signers and 28 hearing English speakers with no experience in any SL participated in this study. Results reveal that phonemic contrasts based on HANDSHAPE presented an area of maximum difficulty in phonological discrimination for sign-naïve participants. For all participants, contrasts based on ORIENTATION and LOCATION and involving larger scale articulators, were associated with robust categorical discrimination.
The Boko Haram Kidnappings and Islamist Militancy In Nigeria: An Ecocritical Analysis of Habila’s The Chibok Girls
Authors: Sanka Confidence , Issaka Charity , Asamoah Patricia
Published: May 2020

Ecocriticism, a study of literature in relation to the environment has become one of the tools post-colonial writers use in addressing environmental concerns. The environment is seen as a character acting along with humans in literary texts. A violation of nature therefore affects all the characters. The urgency for examining literature from an ecological angle is therefore justified. Anchored on ecocriticism, this paper adopts a qualitative method analysis to argue that corruption, coups d’état and the activities of terrorists create a hostile environment that needs serious discourse engagement. This paper discusses the environmental issues raised in Habila’s The Chibok Girls: The Boko Haram Kidnappings and Islamist Militancy in Nigeria. The study concludes that the Nigerian environment, and by extension the African one, is at the brink of destruction because there is a causal relationship between corruption, coups d’état, terrorism and ecophobia. The first one breeds the others.
The Case for Changing the Narrative in Health & Social Care
Authors: Singhal Parag
Published: May 2020

Given our current challenges, how can we contribute to making a difference in patient care and service efficiencies? In other words, how can we all work towards changing the narrative and acting in different ways to make a difference to our patients, colleagues, and organisations alike. Whilst not overstating the case, our NHS is being challenged from several angles. Many colleagues are under serious work pressures, are stressed, suffer from low morale, some are voting with their feet and many more are reporting burnout. And yes, some of our patients are not having the timely care that they deserve? Many of our organisations are in financial distress; many are in special measures and Turnaround Regimes.
Constraints on the Velocity Dispersion of Dark Matter from Cosmology and New Bounds on Scattering from the Cosmic Dawn
Authors: Rodríguez-Montoya Iván , Avila-Reese Vladimir , Pérez-Lorenzana Abdel , Venzor Jorge
Published: May 2020

The observational value of the velocity dispersion,

, is missing in the dark matter (DM) puzzle. Nonzero or nonthermal DM velocities can drastically influence large-scale structure and the 21 cm temperature at the epoch of the cosmic dawn, as well as the estimation of DM physical parameters, such as mass and interaction couplings. To study the phenomenology of

, we model the evolution of DM in terms of a simplistic and generic Boltzmann-like momentum distribution. Using cosmological data from the cosmic microwave background, baryonic acoustic oscillations, and red luminous galaxies, we constrain the DM velocity dispersion for a broad range of masses,

, finding

(99% CL). Including the Experiment to Detect the Global Epoch of Reionization Signature (EDGES) T
21 measurements, we extend our study to constrain the baryon–DM interaction in the range of DM velocities allowed by our analysis. As a consequence, we present new bounds on two electromagnetic models of DM, namely minicharged particles (MCPs) and the electric dipole moment (EDM). For MCPs, the parameter region that is consistent with EDGES and independent bounds on cosmological and stellar physics is very small, pointing to the subelectronvolt mass regime of DM. A window in the MeV–GeV may still be compatible with these bounds for MCP models without a hidden photon. But the EDM parameter region consistent with EDGES is excluded by Big Bang nucleosynthesis and collider physics.
Detection of Vibrational Emissions from the Helium Hydride Ion (HeH+) in the Planetary Nebula NGC 7027

Published: May 2020

We report the detection of emission in the v = 1 − 0 P(1) (3.51629 μm) and P(2) (3.60776 μm) rovibrational lines of the helium hydride cation (HeH+) from the planetary nebula NGC 7027. These detections were obtained with the iSHELL spectrograph on NASA’s Infrared Telescope Facility on Maunakea. They confirm the discovery of HeH+ reported recently by Güsten et al., who used the GREAT instrument on the SOFIA airborne observatory to observe its pure rotational J = 1 − 0 transition at 149.137 μm. The flux measured for the HeH+
v = 1 − 0 P(1) line is in good agreement with our model for the formation, destruction, and excitation of HeH+ in NGC 7027. The measured strength of the J = 1 − 0 pure rotational line, however, exceeds the model prediction significantly, as does that of the v = 1 − 0 P(2) line, by factors of 2.9 and 2.3 respectively. Possible causes of these discrepancies are discussed. Our observations of NGC 7027, covering the 3.26–3.93 μm spectral region, have led to the detection of more than 60 spectral lines including nine rovibrational emissions from CH+. The latter are detected for the first time in an astronomical source.

Rapidly evolving transients form a new class of transients that show shorter timescales of light curves than those of typical core-collapse and thermonuclear supernovae. We performed a systematic search for rapidly evolving transients using deep data taken with the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program Transient Survey. By measuring the timescales of the light curves of 1824 transients, we identified five rapidly evolving transients. Our samples are found in a wide range of redshifts (0.3 ≤ z ≤ 1.5) and peak absolute magnitudes (−17 ≥ M

i
 ≥ −20). The light-curve properties are similar to those of the previously discovered rapidly evolving transients. They show a relatively blue spectral energy distribution, with the best-fit blackbody of 8000–18,000 K. We show that some of the transients require power sources other than the radioactive decays of 56Ni because of their high peak luminosities and short timescales. The host galaxies of all of the samples are star-forming galaxies, suggesting a massive star origin for the rapidly evolving transients. The event rate is roughly estimated to be ∼4000 events yr−1 Gpc−3, which is about 1% of core-collapse supernovae.

The stellar content of the intracluster light (ICL) provides unique insight into the hierarchical assembly process of galaxy clusters. We present optical spectra of three ICL regions (μ

g
 ≈ 25.3–26.2 mag arcsec−2) in the Coma cluster, located between 100 and 180 kpc from their nearest brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs): NGC 4889 and NGC 4874. Integral-field unit (IFU) spectroscopy with 13.5 hr on-source integration was acquired in an ancillary program within the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-IV MaNGA survey. We stacked the 127 individual fiber spectra in each IFU to achieve a 1σ limiting surface brightness of 27.9 mag arcsec−2, corresponding to a mean signal-to-noise ratio in the optical of 21.7, 9.0, and 11.7 Å−1, for each ICL region. We apply stellar population models to the stacked spectra. Our results show that the velocity dispersions of ICL regions are very high (σ ∼ 630 km s−1), indicating the stars in these regions are tracing the gravitational potential of the cluster, instead of any individual galaxy. The line-of-sight velocities are different from each other by ∼700 km s−1, while the velocity of each region is similar to the closest BCG. This suggests that the ICL regions are associated with two distinct subclusters centered on NGC 4889 and NGC 4874. The stellar populations of these regions are old and metal-poor, with ages of

Agnes Heller (1929–2019) and Biopolitics
Authors: Bennett David , D'Cruz Carolyn , D'Cruz Glenn , Vassilieva Julia
Published: May 2020

This article is published as a tribute to the late Hungarian philosopher Agnes Heller, who died earlier this year. Heller was best known as a prolific writer and political activist whose academic work addressed a wide range of topics, including the status of reformist Marxism, modernism,
postmodernism, democracy and aesthetics. The article comprises an introduction, outlining Heller's career as a political dissident and activist, academic philosopher and public intellectual, and an edited transcript of a discussion with Heller, conducted in 2010, focusing on her work on biopolitics.
The discussion-interview reflects its historical moment both in the nature of the questions posed and in Heller's responses to them. Heller elaborates her thinking on this topic with particular reference to the following issues: the technical, moral and legal limits of biopolitics in relation
to new biological technologies such as genetic engineering; the tension between conceptions of biopolitics as a type of identity politics and as a practice of governmentality and demography; Giorgio Agamben's theorising on biopolitics in Homo Sacer and Hannah Arendt's views on political
representation and her distinction between the private and public spheres. Heller also addresses other themes that run through her oeuvre, such as the status and meanings of democracy, totalitarianism, minority rights, and the relationship between ecological science and politics. The
conversational tone of the discussion provides a concise and accessible introduction to Heller's later work and conveys her sense of dynamic engagement with what continue to be urgent political and philosophical issues.

Authors: Colonico Mario , Di Salvatore Luca , Di Salvatore Umberto , Corona Piermaria
Published: May 2020

The inland and mountain areas are territories characterized by conditions of infrastructural and socio-economic disadvantage, but at the same time rich in environmental and cultural resources. The Italian strategy for inland areas aims to enhance their natural and human capitals. In this context, this work aims to investigate whether and how the territorial forestry plan (PFIT) can be a useful tool to identify the potential of those territories that make up the largest green infrastructure in the country, and to address their development. The question distinctively arises as to how the analyses and interventions provided by the PFITs can stimulate the creation of business networks among the production organizations located in the inland and mountain areas

Conference report
Does identity matter?
Authors: Csink Lóránt
Published: May 2020

During Brexit campaign leave supporters reckoned that their sovereignty is priceless. They meant that Britain’s status within or outside the European Union should not be decided upon economic reasons only. The campaign was successful and now the Kingdom is paying the price of her sovereignty. In Hungary in 2015 the government decided to ban shops to open on Sundays which was against the aspirations of both enterprises and consumers.  The government found the measure so symbolic, so close to its identity that it did not respect any criticism. The government paid the political price of the unpopularity of the measure. Later on the government realised that the stake was too high and withdrew the piece of legislation. Such events clearly highlight that maintaining identity always has its price. Such price can be either economic or political. The question is if governments are ready to pay the price. It does not seem proper if mere economic and political expectations overrule symbolic issues. Neither it is acceptable if the government gives the nation’s entire fortune for symbolic reasons. It must always be considered how much identity costs and if it is worth paying the price.  The question can be answered upon the identity test that has two factors: first how important the issue is (how close it is to identity) and if the price of identity is proportionate to the economic, political price. The more important the issue is the greater price can be paid. And conversely, the greater the economic or political price is, the more cautious one should be. The present article sums up the most basic information on constitutional identity and analyses the factors of the identity of the Hungarian constitution, the Basic Law, with special attention to the contemporary identity debate. It argues that constitutional identity is not a strict and non-changing phenomenon but rather the procedure of continuous development.
The problem of protection of national constitutional identity in integration processes
Authors: Pkhrikyan Alina
Published: May 2020

The problem of protecting the constitutional identity, in contents of modern constitutional developments, becomes a top discussed topic by lawyers. We share the opinion of scholars that the constitutional identity is the manifestation of the national and political identity of the society, which is reflected in the content of the Constitution. Having a millennium history, including a rich legal history, Armenia is probably one of the states that, according to geopolitical situations and historical circumstances has very often had to defend its national, including constitutional identity. The report presents specific historical examples. Nowadays Armenia is actively integrating into globalization processes: on the one hand we join the Eurasian Economic Union, on the other hand, conclude a Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement with the EU. These circumstances are new challenges for our country. The report also highlights the importance of the role of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Armenia in maintaining the constitutional identity and in legal protection of national constitutional values.
Impediments to public consultations in the Polish local self-government
Authors: Pomaranski Marcin
Published: May 2020

The aim of this paper is a comparative analysis of legislative solutions and practical application of the public consultations in the Polish local government after 1989. The legal changes that occurred during this period have guaranteed Polish citizens the tool to direct exercising the political power. Unfortunately, the lack of legislative precision in the use of mechanisms of civic participation in Poland is characteristic of public consultation. Despite the fact that this solution has been used by public administration since the political-system transformation and the passing of the Act on Gmina Self-Government of 1990, and that in 1997 the consultations as a form of the exercise of power by the citizens were also established in the Constitution, for the first two decades there was a fairly great freedom of interpretation in holding them, which the local self-government authorities widely used. Positive changes in the practice of using the mechanisms of public consultation in Poland, including the formulation of the widely accepted set of guidelines and practical advice concerning the manner of implementing these mechanisms, began to take place only in the last four to five years. Main thesis of the paper is the opinion that public consultations in the example of the Polish self-government despite nearly three decades of legislative and political experiences are still not an effective tool of direct democracy, but only a bureaucratic facade.

Authors: Samarpita Chatterjee Mukherjee
Published: May 2020

The musical structure, as well as the lyrics of the bandish (composition), have an integral relationship with the performance of the composition by a vocalist or musician. Although Classical Music is primarily a performing art, it incorporates literary and poetic contents, which makes it more impressive, intriguing, and engaging to one's heart. The genre of classical music has been enriched by the creative work of several composers of Indian Classical Vocal music. Ustad Latafat Hussain Khan was one of the stalwart musicians of the Agra style of Indian Classical music. He was not only an eminent vocalist but also created many bandishes under the pseudonym ‘Premdas.’ This present writing presents the actual meaning/semantics of the bandish, inner meaning or philosophical essence and the spiritual/religious perspective portrayed by the composer in three of his selected Khayal bandishes. By presenting the notation of these bandish, in the concerned raga, the embedded melody format, beautification of the taal and laya (rhythm and tempo) with the help of Swara (voice sound/ tone) and lyrics (Bol) by the composer has been analyzed. The reflection of characteristics of Agra style in the bandish has discussed. For the study, personal interviews of eminent musicians and existing pieces of concerned literature had been consulted. It may be said that the analysis of these bandishes of Ustad Latafat Hussain Khan made it evident that they bear the signature of his skillful ability and his uniqueness as a vibrant composer.
