Vector-light quantum complementarity and the degree of polarization
Authors: Norrman Andreas , Friberg Ari T. , Leuchs Gerd
Published: January 2020

The dual wave–particle nature of light and the degree of polarization are fundamental concepts in quantum physics and optical science, but their exact relation has not been explored within a full vector-light quantum framework that accounts for interferometric polarization modulation. Here, we consider vector-light quantum complementarity in double-pinhole photon interference and derive a general link between the degree of polarization and wave–particle duality of light. The relation leads to an interpretation for the degree of polarization as a measure describing the complementarity strength between photon path predictability and so-called Stokes visibility, the latter taking into account both intensity and polarization variations in the observation plane. It also unifies results advanced in classical studies by showing that the degree of polarization can be viewed as the ability of a light beam to exhibit intensity and polarization-state fringes. The framework we establish thus provides novel aspects and deeper insights into the role of the degree of polarization in quantum-light complementarity and photon interference.
Assimilation gaming: The reification of compulsory gender roles in RuPaul’s Drag Race
Authors: DeAnda Michael Anthony
Published: January 2020

This article analyses the ‘Bunk Buddies’ mini-challenge on Season 8 of RuPaul’s Drag Race (2009–present, USA: World of Wonder), during which the competitors identified the sexual positions of Andrew Christian models. In this episode (‘Shady Politics’
2016), gaming and camera technologies work in tandem to repackage heteronormative models of gender and sexual identity for gay audiences. While the mini-challenge offers Andrew Christian models for visual pleasure of gay audiences, the game mechanics and camera angles reify masculine/feminine
gender binaries in the way the preferred sexual positions between men are constructed, coding ‘tops’ as masculine and ‘bottoms’ as feminine. While stereotypes in the gay community also present similar understandings of compulsory gender roles, this depiction in RuPaul’s
Drag Race, a groundbreaking television series celebrating gay lives and gender subversion through drag, is particularly troubling because it mythologizes a binary gender model that cites the heterosexual matrix and assimilates gay men into traditional male and female gender roles according
to their preferred sexual positions. The ‘Bunk Buddies’ challenge thus suggests that sexual positions between men also have a literacy based on masculinity (penetrating) and femininity (receiving).

A cobertura da morte de figuras públicas desportivas
Authors: Martins Joana Margarida
Published: January 2020

Morte e notoriedade são dois valores-notícia relevantes para os meios de comunicação social. É por isso que o falecimento de personalidades ligadas aos setores da vida pública, particularmente do desporto, assume grande importância em termos de cobertura mediática.

Partindo do estudo da cobertura da morte de cinco personalidade do mundo desportivo em três jornais diários – Correio da Manhã, Diário de Notícias e Jornal de Notícias – chegámos a conclusões que mostram diferentes destaques e diversos posicionamentos editoriais na cobertura que cada jornal fez do falecimento de cada personalidade. Além disso, concluímos ainda que o período temporal que separa as mortes de Fernando Pascoal Neves “Pavão”, Joaquim Agostinho, Vítor Baptista, José Megre e Eusébio da Silva Ferreira (falecidos entre 1973 e 2014) nos remete para novas formas de espetacularização da morte e prevalência dos factos paralelos ao próprio acontecimento, como sinal do aumento das pressões de mercado e da adoção de novas estratégias, mais próximas do espetáculo do que da informação.
Narrativas sobre Eusébio na hora da sua morte
Authors: Nolasco Carlos
Published: January 2020

Eusébio morreu! Nos dias que se seguiram à sua morte os comentários e reações sucederam-se a um ritmo tão contagiante como foi o seu futebol. A comunicação social, quase que em exclusivo produziu conteúdos sobre esse tema. Recuperaram-se imagens do jogador, apresentaram-se testemunhos de diversas figuras públicas, na sua grande maioria ex-colegas, jogadores no ativo, políticos, artistas, e muitas pessoas anónimas que expressavam a sua emoção. Considerando o excecional desempenho futebolístico pelo SL Benfica e pela Seleção Nacional, que o converteu num herói desportivo, não é surpresa a comoção que a sua morte suscitou. Contudo, este é um herói inusitado: africano negro, nascido numa sociedade discriminatória colonial, chega a Lisboa e converte-se numa das mais populares figuras da sociedade portuguesa num período de guerra colonial. E esta condição de herói mantém uma perenidade que se estende até à hora da sua morte. As mensagens de condolências entretanto produzidas também fazem a exaltação do jogador, das suas qualidades humanas e desportivas, da sua importância social, da sua portugalidade e dimensão mundial. Este texto propõe-se percecionar, através dessas mensagens de condolências, pronunciadas aquando da morte de Eusébio, as representações que sobre ele foram produzidas, tomando como hipótese que no momento da sua morte, as mensagens de pesar reproduziram as narrativas que sobre o jogador foram produzidas ao longo dos anos, como se tivesse havido uma cristalização da sua representação simbólica.

Obsequium amicos, veritas odium parit
Authors: Lázár István Dávid
Published: January 2020

It is an often mentioned and well-known fact, that Cicero was the closest to Petrarch among the greatest of the ancient world. This is evidenced, among other things, by the fact that he quotes him for countless times, often very long, and that in the Rerum familiarium libri XXIV, which was inspired by Cicero, in the letter group called by the summarizing title Antiquis illustrioribus collection, two epistles are addressed only to him. Almost without exception, Petrarch selects in his moral philosophical writings one work of Cicero as a starting point, and elaborates his own thoughts reflecting on the antique predecessor's views. In my presentation, I outline some of these, and with its help I try to present the “friendship” that spans thousands of years.
Techné kai Logos: Kallistratos Narkissos-víziója
Authors: Hajdú Attila
Published: January 2020

In his longest ekphrasis (5), Callistratus (fl. probably in 4th century AD) uses enargeia and phantasia to depict vividly Narcissus’ marble sculpture and to evoke the tragic fate of the young boy. On the basis of the surviving works of art, it is wellknown that the representations of Narcissus were widespread in the Roman world from the 1st century AD. Therefore, there is no reason to suppose that it would have been a difficult task for Callistratus to get inspiration from the statues of Narcissus exhibited in the horti of Roman villas, public parks and baths, or from the large number of wall-paintings and mosaics depicting the young mythological figure. Besides publishing my Hungarian translation of the Narcissus’ ekphrasis, I will explore the crucial elements originating from both the Graeco-Roman visual culture and literature that may have influenced this description, and the art criticism occurring in the text as well.

Authors: Ferdian Hanum , Wahid Dian Ibnu , Samad Samad , Wardani Anggun Esti , Alam Guntur Surya , Moelyo Annang Giri
Published: January 2020

Background Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) is commonly diagnosed by clinical sign and symptoms, blood gas analysis, and chest x-ray. In the past, lung ultrasound (LUS) was not standard for NRDS examination. Many studies show that ultrasound diagnostic tool for NRDS is accurate, reliable, low cost, easy to use, and safe because due to no ionizing radiation.

Objective To determine the sensitivity and specificity of LUS in diagnosing NRDS.

Methods This meta-analysis study was conducted LUS as a diagnostic tool for NRDS. Inclusion criteria were all studies from PubMed, Embase, and The Cochrane Library, without any limitation on published journals, as well as using keywords or search terms of ultrasound, neonatal, and respiratory distress syndrome. Statistical analysis was undertaken using MedCalc® version 18.2 software.

Results Seven studies with a total of 580 patients met the inclusion criteria. Proportional meta-analysis obtained random effects models, with total sensitivity of LUS was 97.2% (95% CI for I2 74.24 to 92.88; P<0.0001) and specificity of LUS was 94.8% (95% CI for I2 88.60 to 98.03; P<0.00001).

Conclusion Lung ultrasound should be considered as a diagnostic tool for NRDS because it is high in sensitivity and specificity, inexpensive, safe, as well as limited radiation exposure.

Authors: Haque Md. Mozammel , Shultana Kamrunnaher , Matin Tahmina Binte , Khan Md. Shohidul Islam , Al Baki Abdullah
Published: January 2020

Laurence-Moon-Bardet-Beidl syndrome is a rare ciliopathic and pleiotropic human autosomal recessive genetic disorder.1 In 1886, Laurence and Moon explained a case of a 7-year-old female with rod-cone dystrophy, hypogenitalism, mental retardation, obesity, and polydactyly. In 1920, Bardet described a 4-year-old female patient presented with rod-cone dystrophy, obesity, polydactyly (11 toes), and mental retardation.1 Two years after Bardet’s report, Biedl highlighted the complete scenario of clinical signs which includes skull abnormalities, anal atresia, mental deficiency, and gastrointestinal conflicts.1 Since these discoveries, symptoms such as obesity, hypogonadism, retinal pigment defects, psychological hindrance, and polydactylismin in several conditions as combinations, frequently in children with normal parents (cousin marriages) has been termed as Laurence-Moon-Bardet-Biedl syndrome (LMBBS).1

Published: January 2020

OBJECTIVES:

Severe alcoholic hepatitis (sAH) confers substantial mortality, but the disease course is difficult to predict. As iron parameters are attractive outcome predictors in other liver diseases, we tested their prognostic ability in sAH.

METHODS:

Serum ferritin, transferrin, iron, transferrin saturation, nontransferrin-bound iron, soluble transferrin receptor, and hepcidin were measured in 828 patients with sAH recruited prospectively through the STOPAH trial. The cohort was randomly divided into exploratory (n = 200) and validation sets (n = 628).

RESULTS:

Patients with sAH had diminished serum transferrin but increased transferrin saturation. Among iron parameters, baseline transferrin was the best predictor of 28-day (area under the receiver operated characteristic 0.72 [95% confidence interval 0.67–0.78]) and 90-day survival (area under the receiver operated characteristic 0.65 [0.61–0.70]). Transferrin's predictive ability was comparable with the composite scores, namely model of end-stage liver disease, Glasgow alcoholic hepatitis score, and discriminant function, and was independently associated with survival in multivariable analysis. These results were confirmed in a validation cohort. Transferrin did not correlate with markers of liver synthesis nor with non–transferrin-bound iron or soluble transferrin receptor (as markers of excess unbound iron and functional iron deficiency, respectively).

DISCUSSION:

In patients with sAH, serum transferrin predicts mortality with a performance comparable with commonly used composite scoring systems. Hence, this routinely available parameter might be a useful marker alone or as a component of prognostic models.
Coccidiosis Disease in Cattle in Indonesia and Development of Diagnostic Techniques
Authors: Ekawasti Fitrine , Wardhana April H
Published: January 2020

Coccidiosis is a parasitic disease caused by the protozoan of the order Coccidia, the family Eimeriidae of the genus Eimeria which breeds rapidly in the digestive tract and is the most difficult disease to be controlled on cattle farms. Eimeria spp. in cattle can cause high economic losses and increase susceptibility against infectious diseases. Therefore, coccidiosis in cattle needs attention from the government. This paper reviews a number of diagnostic methods that can be used in the detection of Eimeria spp. in cattle based on the goals and objectives of the examination. The coccidiosis cases often do not show any clinical symptoms but can cause sudden death in livestock. The diagnostic method that still used at present is based on its morphology that should not be used in identifying Eimeria species because the morphological characteristics Eimeria spp. have similar shape and size structures between species (resembling morphology). An appropriate diagnostic method for Eimeria is needed in the context of controlling coccidiosis strategically.

Published: January 2020

AbstractThis research investigates the role of cash waqf as a Islamic social fund in eradicating poverty in Special Region of Yogyakarta. Researchers combine both of quantitative and qualitative research methods (triangulation) to increase the perceived quality of research findings. To answer the problems, researchers employe three steps analysis, firstly forecasting with statistical approach using the weighted moving average method; secondly cash waqf simulation; and thirdly researchers propose The New Integrated Model Of Cash Waqf Information System. The results of this study has succesfully answered the progress of cash waqf, the support of stakeholders (government, financial institutions and society) to achieve target of cash waqf. Based on the forecasting moving average method, it can be seen that the collected fund of cash waqf is still very fluctuating in some future period following the trend of cash waqf fund before. In the simulation of cash waqf based on expenditure distribution at DIY , to reach the target of cash waqf in one year, for example in 2018, that is equal to Rp. 684,646,315.33, each household only spend about of Rp. 60,000 to Rp. 80,000 per year. If all Muslim societies especially at DIY have realized the importance of cash waqf, then the potential cash waqf cant be maximized and the flow of cash waqf returns can be distributed to strengthen the social pillars of the region such as poverty, hunger, health and eduaction. Keywords: cash waqf, eradicating poverty, forecasting, simulation, integrated model
Human Prosperity Measurement within The Gloom of Maqasid Al-Shariah
Authors: Shabbir Malik Shahzad
Published: January 2020

This study is trying to interpret the theory of Maqasid Al-Shariah in wide context, which further based on the measurement of socio-economic prosperity; it takes into account the major drawbacks of the existing measurements. The proposed measurement is an integrated Maqasid Al-Shariah based composite index to measure socio-economic prosperity of economies in general and muslim countries in particular. The integrated Maqasid Al-Shariah based measurement does not isolate economic and social progress from the spiritual and biophysical variables that effect human prosperity. Specifically, in this paper, we will be looking at the theory of Maqasid Al-Shariah and socio-economic prosperity, in order to develop these constructs within the proposed composite index and the measurement variables, where each variable constructs under the Maqasid Al-Shariah. This study argues that the existing measurements of socio-economic progress are limited by number of measured variables and, therefore, do not portray the real socio-economic prosperity status.

Learning strategies is one aspect to be prepared by teachers in performing their tasks. Learning strategy outlines a course of action in order to achieve the objectives. By implementing a strategy, teacher can act based on guidelines regarding the various alternatives that may be pursued, so that teaching and learning can take place in a systematic, purposeful, smooth and effective way. One strategy that can be developed by teacher is contextual learning. Contextual learning or also known as CTL (Contextual Teaching and learning) is a process of learning that emphasizes the involvement of students to be able to find the material studied and connect with real-life situations, thus encouraging students to be able to apply it in their lives. This article discusses the concept and implementation of learning contextual where learning is more emphasis on student activity fully, both physically and mentally, the class rather than as a place to obtain information, but rather a place to examine data from their findings in the field, learning is not just memorize, but the process experienced in real life

On developmental psychology point of view, the content standard in Arabic subject for MTs some of them have accordance with the level of developmental psychology of students and others have not in accordance with the spirit development of learners. Arabic subject in MTs that has accordance with the development of learner thinking are still dominated by the concrete thought. In addition, the material is also in accordance with the emotional and moral development of students. However, if associated with a level of abstract thinking, the material is not yet supported, though adolescence developmental psychology should begin to be directed to abstract thinking. That incompatibility appears from the material that presents more concrete materials rather than abstract one.

“A people so well fed and so clean”: The 1832 Cholera Pandemic in New Jersey
Authors: Petriello David
Published: January 2020

This paper examines the 1832 cholera outbreak that struck the state of New Jersey. Over the course of several months, the disease infiltrated the waterways and canals of the state, killing over 500 and leaving a death toll that was statistically higher as a percentage of the state's population than all but five other states and territories. As the first, major pandemic to strike the United States, its effect on New Jersey as well as the state’s response are of historical importance. The article utilizes the various newspapers in existence in the state in 1832 as well as the collected correspondences of individuals such as Governor Peter Dumont Vroom and lawyer Silas Dickerson Canfield to explore the thoughts and reactions of both the public and local government to the outbreak. Upon examining these events, it is clear that there were distinctive political, social, and religious reasons for the differing reactions to the cholera pandemic. New Jersey’s response, while in keeping with larger trends taking place throughout the region, helped to introduce the advent of public health thinking and structures that would lead to further modernization in the prevention and treatment of disease.

Published: January 2020

This work presents an investigation into the ability of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to provide long term predictions of time series data generated by coal fired power plants. While there are numerous studies which have used artificial neural networks (ANNs) to predict coal plant parameters, to the authors’ knowledge these have almost entirely been restricted to predicting values at the next time step, and not farther into the future. Using a novel neuro-evolution strategy called Evolutionary eXploration of Augmenting Memory Models (EXAMM), we evolved RNNs with advanced memory cells to predict per-minute plant parameters and per-hour boiler parameters up to 8 hours into the future. These data sets were challenging prediction tasks as they involve spiking behavior in the parameters being predicted. While the evolved RNNs were able to successfully predict the spikes in the hourly data they did not perform very well in accurately predicting their severity. The per-minute data proved even more challenging as medium range predictions miscalculated the beginning and ending of spikes, and longer range predictions reverted to long term trends and ignored the spikes entirely. We hope this initial study will motivate further study into this highly challenging prediction problem. The use of fuel properties data generated by a new Coal Tracker Optimization (CTO) program was also investigated and this work shows that their use improved predictive ability of the evolved RNNs.
Multi-scale modeling of the lamellar unit of arterial media
Authors: Mozafari Hozhabr , Wang Lulu , Lei Yuguo , Gu Linxia
Published: January 2020

The heterogeneity of the lamellar unit (LU) of arterial media plays an important role in the biomechanics of artery. Current two-component (fibrous component and a homogenous matrix) constitutive model is inappropriate for capturing the micro-structural variations in the LU, such as contraction/relaxation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), fragmentation of the elastin layer, and deposition/disruption of the collagen network. In this work, we developed a representative volume element (RVE) model with detailed micro-configurations, i.e., VSMCs at various phenotypes, collagen fibers, and elastin laminate embedded in the ground substance. The fiber architecture was generated based on its volume fraction and orientations. Our multi-scale model demonstrated the relation between the arterial expansion and the micro-structural variation of the lamellar unit. The obtained uniaxial response of the LU was validated against the published experimental data. The load sharing capacity of fibrous component and VSMCs of the LU were obtained. We found that the VSMC could take 30% of the circumferential load when contracted until the collagen fibers were recruited, while this value was less than 2% for the relaxed VSMC. In addition, the contribution of collagen fibers at low stretch levels was negligible but became predominant when straightened in high stretches.Moreover, aging effects by collagen deposition was modeled to estimate the arterial stiffening. It was revealed that the aortic stiffness is mainly controlled by collagen fibers, instead of VSMCs. Our findings could shed some light about the contribution of VSMCs in arterial stiffness which has been under debate in recent years.

Published: January 2020

The nanoscratch test has been identified as one of the important tools for evaluating the mechanical and tribological properties of materials. This paper reviews the current researches on the nanoscratch test using to characterise the mechanical properties of three typical materials, including thin film, polymer composite and concrete, from the perspectives of the Berkovich indenter, parameter selection, mode selection, and analysis of resulting data. In addition, to provide a deep understanding on the test from different magnitude, a comparison between the microscratch test and nanoscratch test on the evaluation of tribological performance is also provided in this paper. The characterisation by nanoscratch test of two structural samples, in terms of layered film structures (thin film and coating sample) and single layer block structure (polymer composite sample and concrete samples) are also described in this paper, which aims to provides a deep understand on the evaluation the adhesion, tribological and interfacial properties of the typical materials samples by nanoscratch test. Finally, the coefficient of friction and critical load are discussed, which are two important parameters in tribological properties and adhesion properties.
Hydrodynamic review on liquid–solid magnetized fluidized bed
Authors: Zhu Quanhong , Huang Qingshan , Yang Chao
Published: January 2020

The magnetic field has been successfully used to intensify the liquid–solid contact performance in the fluidized bed, creating the magnetized fluidized bed (MFB). The MFBs with purely magnetizable particles and with the binary admixture of magnetizable and nonmagnetizable particles could be simply termed the pure MFB and admixture MFB, respectively. Their potential application in the chemical and biochemical industries has been thoroughly explored in the literature. However, a fundamental investigation on the hydrodynamics therein is far from sufficient, severely hindering the commercial application. For this reason, this review summarized the relevant findings, including (1) flow regime transition, (2) boundaries between two adjacent flow regimes, (3) unique features of the magnetically stabilized bed, (4) hysteresis phenomenon and bed voidage, (5) minimum fluidization velocity and terminal velocity, (6) numerical simulation and segregation of the admixture MFB, and (7) some explored applications. More importantly, the existing controversies and unsolved issues in this area were identified. Among others, the flow regime transition and unique hydrodynamic characteristics of each flow regime should be first clarified, only after which could the terminology describing all the flow regimes be unified and the results from different scholars be compared.

Published: January 2020

Recent studies in posterior parietal cortex (PPC) have found multiple effectors and cognitive strategies represented within a shared neural substrate in a structure termed “partially mixed selectivity” (Zhang et al., 2017). In this study, we examine whether the structure of these representations is preserved across changes in task context and is thus a robust and generalizable property of the neural population. Specifically, we test whether the structure is conserved from an open-loop motor imagery task (training) to a closed-loop cortical control task (online), a change that has led to substantial changes in neural behavior in prior studies in motor cortex. Recording from a 4 × 4 mm electrode array implanted in PPC of a human tetraplegic patient participating in a brain–machine interface (BMI) clinical trial, we studied the representations of imagined/attempted movements of the left/right hand and compare their individual BMI control performance using a one-dimensional cursor control task. We found that the structure of the representations is largely maintained between training and online control. Our results demonstrate for the first time that the structure observed in the context of an open-loop motor imagery task is maintained and accessible in the context of closed-loop BMI control. These results indicate that it is possible to decode the mixed variables found from a small patch of cortex in PPC and use them individually for BMI control. Furthermore, they show that the structure of the mixed representations is maintained and robust across changes in task context.
Between Self Congruity, Destination Relationship and Memorable Tourist Experience: An Empiric Study on the Loyalty of Tourist Destination
Authors: Ardyan Elia , Wibisono Utomo
Published: January 2020

This study examines the driving factors that can enhance tourist destination loyalty. Respondents used were 184 domestic tourists who had traveled to Bali. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling. Amos version 21 is used to process data. These results indicate that destination personality can improve the relationship destination but memorable tourist experience can not enhance it. The personality of a tourist destination enhance self-congruity. The study also found that memorable tourist experiences and the relationship destinations has a positive impact on increasing destinations loyalty. Self-congruity has a negative effect on destination loyalty. One contribution of this research related to showing the memorable tourist experience is more likely to influence loyal decisions than destination relationships.
El legado teórico de Perlongher y las discusiones contemporáneas sobre disidencia sexual en Latinoamérica
Authors: Baltodano-Román Gabriel , Villalobos-Ramírez Grethel
Published: January 2020

Este ensayo discute, desde una pers­pectiva centrada en el último dece­nio, ciertos desarrollos conceptuales del pensamiento latinoamericano en torno a la disidencia sexual. Dada la amplitud y la complejidad del ámbi­to de estudio, se hace hincapié en aquellos investigadores contem­poráneos que se valieron de las aportaciones teóricas de Néstor Perlongher (Argentina, 1949-1992), ensayista, poeta y activista pionero en el análisis de los vínculos entre identidad, sexualidad, marginación y prácticas contrahegemónicas, para crear refe­rentes conceptuales, adecuados al contexto regional. En el examen de estas cuestiones, resulta ineludible la revisión de los vínculos entre tales modelos teóricos y la teoría queer.
VILLAGE AND CITY, OR HOW CULTURAL BOUNDARIES ARE CONSTRUCTED
Authors: Polek Tina
Published: January 2020

The article deals with the spectrum of ideas about the boundary between rural and urban cultures and outlines the mechanism of this boundary constructing. Using social constructionism theory and discourse analysis was useful for exacerbating the dichotomous interpretation of rural and urban cultures.

The terminological definitions of the city and the village appear to be well established and self-evident, but attention to these basic definitions is very important for further analyses. Despite a thorough academic critique of the dichotomous understanding of the city and the village, these terms continue to refer to generalized idealized types of settlements that are inherently opposite. This means that they continue to be objects of social, academic and administrative construction, based primarily on population.

The classic definition of a city by L. Wirth includes population size, density and heterogeneity. However, the presence of targeted associations and economic institutions able to respond to diverse social needs are also an important feature of the city. At the same time, the village is considered as an opposition to a city with less population, as well as less density and heterogeneity. The traditional approach links rural areas to agricultural activity, but in modern conditions, this characteristic cannot be decisive since during the twentieth century the human population has become predominantly urban and this has violated established standards. A more important feature of a village is that living in a rural area implies a specific engagement with the local community, which is determined by active involvement in social networks.

Urban and rural cultures find expression in an appropriate way of life. Urbanism assumes the importance of anonymous daily contacts that are part of the urban discourse reflected in the categories of diversity, opportunity and temptation. Whereas rural discourse focuses on the value of traditions, among which the customs of neighbourhood mutual assistance are the most important.

NOTAS SOBRE EL POEMA "MÍA" DE RUBEN DARIO
Authors: Benavides Alonso
Published: January 2020

La poesfa de Rubén Darío se caracteriza, especialmente en Azul y Prosas profanas, por su musicalidad, elegancia y un tono erótico despersonalizado a través del uso de la ter cera persona. Hay en prosas profanas, sin embargo, un par de poemitas cortos y de rara cadencia que confrontan directamente, y en primera persona, el problema de la atracción amorosa del poeta hacia una mujer. Me refiero a los poemas "Mía" y "Dice Mía". En "Notas sobre el poema 'Mía' de Rubén Darío", trato de analizar la novedad de "Mía", no sólo en cuanto a su originalidad formal, sino también, en cuanto a una nueva actitud poética de Darío revelada a través del contenido del poema.

AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF MANUEL BRETÓN DE LOS HERREROS
Authors: Flynn Gerard
Published: January 2020

No hemos tenido un estudio bibliográfico de las fuentes primarias y secundarias de Manuel Bretôn de los Herreros (1796-1873). Se espera que la presente  bibliografía llene este vacío y que contribuya también a las investigaciones sobre el teatro del siglo décimonono. La sección tratando de fuentes primarias consta de tres partes, a saber: la primera describe las grandes colecciones de 1842, 1850-1851,1853, y 1883, y dos escritos más; la segunda describe unas veinticinco obras sueltas; y la tercera anota obras especiales como el Discurso de acción de gracias a la Real Academia de la Lengua, artículos de costumbres, y el célebre ensayo de Bretón sobre el arte de declamación. La sección tratando de fuentes secundarias contiene los libros y artículos de ochenta y nueve  investigadores, muchos de ellos contemporáneos de Bretón, y otros, eruditos del siglo veinte. Además, se han escrito recientemente dos disertaciones doctorales en las universidades de Virginia y California (UCLA). GF

THE SEARCH FOR THE PAST: THE ROLE OF AZTEC MYTHOLOGY IN LA REGIÓN MÁS TRANSPARENTE
Authors: Williams Shirley A.
Published: January 2020

Carlos Fuentes' use of Aztec mythology in La región más transparente has a far more important function than simply creating an exotic and uniquely Mexican atmosphere for his national epic. Fuentes' use of indigenous mythology and symbolism, especially his novelistic transforrnation of the Aztec fire rites, is intimately related to the development of one of the novel's central themes - the rise and fall of Federico Robles. Only through understanding the significance of the Aztec fire rites can the reader fully understand Robles' destruction and subsequent rebirth. SAW
EL BIEN Y EL MAL EN LA CELESTINA
Authors: Lorenzo-Rivero Luis
Published: January 2020

Este estudio afirma elfin primordialmente didáctico de la obra: corregir el vicio y exaltar la virtud. Sin embargo parece pretender lo contrario, pues presenta lo reprochable para, por contraste, resaltar más el bien. Vemos la lucha entre dos mundos, diametralrnente opuestos, el dei bien y el del mal, destacándose la lujuria y la avaricia corno elementos destructores del indivíduo. La primera causa la ruina de los amantes, Calisto y Melibea; la segunda lo hace de la tercera Celestina y de los criados Sempronio y Pármeno. El hombre cuenta contra las bajas inclinaciones de la pasión con la razón, con la prudencia y demás virtudes que lo dignifican. Rojas se sirve a veces para lograr su propósito de caracteres duales, los cuales unas veces representan un valor abstracto y otras son seres humanos. Tal es el caso de Sempronio y Pármeno. El triunfo del vicio sobre la virtud lleva a la muerte a todos esos personajes. LLR
FRUCTIFEROUS EXILE: MARTINEZ ESTRADA AND THE ENCOUNTER WITH MARTI
Authors: Maharg James
Published: January 2020

Las consecuencias de la decisión de Martínez Estrada de emprender viaje aMéxico y posteriormente a Cuba en 1959 en una especie de auto-exilio han sido poco estudiadas y menos com prendidas. Su salida de la Argentina vio conjugadas emociones varias: resentimiento, arrogancia, desconsuelo, todas impregnadas de un fuerte soplo de patetismo. Sin duda representaba el momento de máxima duda sobre la eficacia de su misión denunciadora de 10 que consideraba los falsos valores de una pseudo-cultura patria. Pero su honda preocupación argentina que logra una expresión madura a partir de Radiografla de la pampa, encontró paradojicamente su rnayor grado de fruición en su experiencia cubana, en sus estudios sobre José Martí. Efectivamente, la labor y personalidad martianas habían de profundizar en la imaginación dei argentino hasta el punto de verse justificada una vida a la que sobraban sinsabores y desalientos. Tal encariiíamiento con una figura de sus biografías literarias no carece de antecedentes en la obra de Martínez Estrada; Nietzsche, Hudson, Balzac, Quiroga y otros llegaron a compensar la general escasez de amistades que caracterizó su vida. El cubano, no obstante, le conmovió como ninguno de los anteriores, excepción parcial hecha de Horacio Quiroga. El estudio de la obra de Martínez Estrada previa a la etapa cubana revela además un doble proceso de americanización y radicalización que preparó el terreno que tan dramaticamente fertilizó Martí. Para Martínez Estrada el cubano era imultaneamente un espejo de sus propias tribulaciones llevadas hasta el sacrifício último y un modelo de heroismo moral a cuya fascinación no pudo sustraerse. De aquí que considerara sus trabajos sobre Martí como "10 mejor en calidad y fervor que he producido". JM
