BEFORE “PURITY OF BLOOD”: ELEMENTS AND METAPHORS IN THE 1449-1450 CONVERSO DEBATE
Authors: Tritle Erika
Published: December 2023

This study pays careful attention to the ways in which Latin and Castilian terms for ‘blood’ and ‘flesh’ are employed in the converso debate centered on the anti-converso uprising at Toledo in 1449. It considers how those terms are used —or not used— to conceive of human relationship to one another and to Christ as well as how they convey moral and spiritual status in terms related to purity and impurity. This microscopic look at a particular moment in Castile will enrich telescopic studies that aim for synthesis across disciplinary, chronological, and geographic boundaries. In the more immediate term, this essay demonstrates that, although Iberian historiography has tended to frame the exclusion of conversos from religious and civic life in terms of blood criteria, purity of blood was not a central category in the converso debate of 1449-1450. Rather, the dominant concerns whose relationship to blood and flesh, purity and impurity, faith and heresy, class, king, and country was at stake were honor and lineage itself.
El ambiente anticonverso en la Universidad de Salamanca de finales del siglo xv: los escritos del maestro fray Juan de Santo Domingo
Authors: Martín Baños Pedro
Published: December 2023

Se ofrecen en este artículo la edición y traducción de dos opúsculos anticonversos de fray Juan de Santo Domingo, maestro de Teología en la Universidad de Salamanca, predicador e inquisidor, contenidos en el manuscrito 2696 de la Biblioteca Histórica de la Universidad de Salamanca. La primera de las obras es una defensa del estatuto promovido en 1486 por la orden jerónima para vetar el acceso al hábito de las personas de origen judeoconverso; la segunda es una crítica al tratado sobre los tornadizos de Alonso Díaz de Montalvo, publicado por primera vez hacia 1483.
La belleza que trazó un triste destino. El ciclo extractivo de las aves en Colombia, 1870-1930
Authors: Peralta Agudelo Jaime Andrés
Published: December 2023

El ciclo extractivo de las aves silvestres se dio en Colombia de 1870 a 1930, cuando cientos de miles de ejemplares vivos fueron cazados, y sus insumos derivados (cuerpos disecados, pieles, plumas, cabezas, garras, picos, etc.), procesados en todas las regiones del país para ser enviados a Europa y Estados Unidos como una valiosa materia prima de las industrias de la moda y de la decoración del momento. Este fenómeno económico involucró también la gestación de nuevos imaginarios culturales de prestigio social, la pérdida de avifauna, la destrucción de sus ecosistemas asociados, la introducción de marcos jurídicos para la explotación comercial de aquellos animales y la creación de nuevas redes de intereses entre los sectores dominantes (como terratenientes e inversionistas nacionales y extranjeros) para excluir de la rentabilidad del negocio a otros actores (colonos, indígenas o afro- descendientes). No obstante, implicó además la aparición de movimientos conservacionistas que ayudaron a preservar la avifauna. El acercamiento multidimensional que se desarrolla en este libro implicó el uso simultáneo de diversas fuentes (anuarios de comercio, novelas, memorias de viajeros, informes científicos, revistas seriadas, etc.), que permiten comprender a cabalidad lo que significó el desconocido capítulo del Plume Boom o la “bonanza de las plumas” en la historia colombiana.
Neural Network Estimators for Optimal Tour Lengths of Traveling Salesperson Problem Instances with Arbitrary Node Distributions
Authors: Varol Taha , Özener Okan Örsan , Albey Erinç
Published: December 2023

It is essential to solve complex routing problems to achieve operational efficiency in logistics. However, because of their complexity, these problems are often tackled sequentially using cluster-first, route-second frameworks. Unfortunately, such two-phase frameworks can suffer from suboptimality due to the initial phase. To address this issue, we propose leveraging information about the optimal tour lengths of potential clusters as a preliminary step, transforming the two-phase approach into a less myopic solution framework. We introduce quick and highly accurate Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP) tour length estimators based on neural networks (NNs) to facilitate this. Our approach combines the power of NNs and theoretical knowledge in the routing domain, utilizing a novel feature set that includes node-level, instance-level, and solution-level features. This hybridization of data and domain knowledge allows us to achieve predictions with an average deviation of less than 0.7% from optimality. Unlike previous studies, we design and employ new instances replicating real-life logistics networks and morphologies. These instances possess characteristics that introduce significant computational costs, making them more challenging. To address these challenges, we develop a novel and efficient method for obtaining lower bounds and partial solutions to the TSP, which are subsequently utilized as solution-level predictors. Our computational study demonstrates a prediction error up to six times lower than the best machine learning (ML) methods on their training instances and up to 100 times lower prediction error on out-of-distribution test instances. Furthermore, we integrate our proposed ML models with metaheuristics to create an enumeration-like solution framework, enabling the improved solution of massive-scale routing problems. In terms of solution time and quality, our approach significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art solver, demonstrating the potential of our features, models, and the proposed method.

Análise do gênero artigo de opinião no livro didático à luz da análise crítica dos gêneros
Authors: Ramos Rizia Amanda Pereira , Lima Maria Verônica Monteiro
Published: December 2023

O artigo buscou investigar como o ensino do gênero textual artigo de opinião é proposto no livro didático Geração Alpha Língua Portuguesa: ensino fundamental do 9º ano, dos autores, Everaldo Nogueira, Greta Marchetti e Mirela Cleto (2018). Com base na análise crítica de gêneros, observamos se os métodos propostos no ensino desse gênero no livro didático em questão são apresentados de forma crítica e reflexiva. Para tanto, esta pesquisa fundamenta-se no arcabouço téorico da análise de gênero de Bakhtin (1997); principalmente, pelas contribuições da análise crítica do discurso, como Jonh Swales (1999); Bawarshi e Reiff (2013) e Bezerra (2012), que se orientam pela análise retórica e sociorretórica, e na Linguística Sistêmico Funcional (LSF), o que fortalece os argumentos em torno de um ensino eficaz do gênero e de suas habilidades ou habilidades cognitivas (BNCC, 2018). Concluímos que a abordagem no livro didático analisado não é suficiente para o processo de ensino-aprendizagem dos gêneros, especificamente, do artigo de opinião.
Karl Löwith e o problema do decisionismo em Carl Schmitt
Authors: Lima Deyvison Rodrigues
Published: December 2023

O artigo analisa a leitura de Karl Löwith sobre o decisionismo ocasionalista de Carl Schmitt. A pergunta elementar é, afinal, por qual fundamento é constituída a ordem política? A interpretação de Löwith sobre Schmitt assume a estrutura do argumento de Leo Strauss acerca do Der Begriff des Politischen e afirma de modo mais incisivo que a pulsão da Entscheidung für die nackte Entschiedenheit (decisão pelo mero ser-decidido) é estrutura básica do argumento schmittiano, caracterizando um ocasionalismo político. Entre o debate em torno do teorema da secularização, das interpretações sobre a teologia política e a imagem especular da indecisão romântica, a leitura de Löwith ressalta a irracionalidade e o niilismo como consequências das teses de Schmitt, características que o jurista acusava ser próprias do liberalismo e do romantismo. A conclusão indica que a contingência, como a principal característica da modernidade política, provoca a tensão entre o apelo do jurista à decisão pela ordem e a interpretação do filósofo da ausência de fundamentação normativa do direito.

EXTINÇÃO DOS CONTRATOS ADMINISTRATIVOS: CAUSAS E CONSEQUÊNCIAS
Authors: Oliveira Rafael Carvalho Rezende
Published: December 2023

O presente artigo pretende abordar as causas e as consequências da extinção dos contratos administrativos. A escolha do tema é justificada pela reduzida bibliografia sobre o assunto, pela recente promulgação da Lei 14.133/2021 (Nova Lei de Licitações e Contratos Administrativos) e pela relevância das causas e dos efeitos advindos da extinção de contratos celebrados pela Administração Pública, que exigem atenção sobre a continuidade do atendimento do interesse público. Pretende-se utilizar os métodos dedutivo e comparativo, com a análise das semelhanças e diferenças de tratamentos legislativos conferidos pela Lei 8.666/1993 e a Lei 14.133/2021. Após a análise dos aspectos jurídicos da duração dos contratos administrativos, o texto se debruçará sobre as causas de extinção da relação contratual, bem como as formas e as consequências do término da relação contratual. Ao final, o trabalho apresentará os resultados da investigação e as considerações finais, com a demonstração dos avanços consagrados na Nova Lei de Licitações e Contratos Administrativos em comparação ao regime jurídico anterior.
A MOBILIDADE DO SISTEMA JURÍDICO EM DEFESA DE UM DIREITO GERAL DE PERSONALIDADE
Authors: Siqueira Dirceu Pereira , Santos Marcel Ferreira dos
Published: December 2023

O presente artigo tem por objetivo abordar as imbricações entre dois conceitos chaves para o Direito – pessoa e direitos da personalidade – e a operacionalização de um sistema jurídico inclusivo de direitos implícitos inerentes à dignidade humana a partir da mobilidade trabalhada pelo jurista alemão Claus-Wilhelm Canaris. Como problema de pesquisa, pretende-se discutir se o sistema jurídico brasileiro é dotado de mobilidade apta a permitir variações de direitos ligados à pessoa ou se é necessária novação legislativa destinada a evitar maltrato ao princípio da separação dos poderes decorrente do reconhecimento, pelo intérprete e, em especial, pelo Poder Judiciário, de direitos não previstos em lei. A pertinência da pesquisa reside no fato de a produção legislativa nem sempre acompanhar as necessidades sociais, sobressaindo, em grau maior ou menor, no campo prático, ativismo do Poder Judiciário na tutela de direitos especialmente ligados a minorias. Como percurso metodológico para o desenvolvimento do trabalho, utilizar-se-á do método hipotético-dedutivo. Aventa-se, como hipótese, a ser corroborada ou refutada ao longo da pesquisa, que o sistema jurídico é dotado de mecanismos de mobilidade suscetíveis a permitir a ideia do direito geral de personalidade. Como procedimento, objetiva-se o aprofundamento teórico por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica nas bases de dados da Scopus e EBSCOhost.
CASOS DO NAVIO PETROLEIRO MV ERIKA
Authors: Toledo André de Paiva , Zanella Tiago V.
Published: December 2023

Em 12 de dezembro de 1999 o navio tanque MV Erika afundou ao largo da costa de Finstère, na Bretanha francesa, causando um grande desastre ambiental que afetou toda a região por anos. O desastre ambiental do MV Erika fez avançar a discussão internacional para alguns aspectos de extrema importância, que contribuíram para uma importante evolução do direito internacional (e o direito europeu) como resposta ao acidente. O debate sobre os locais de refúgio e a obrigatoriedade do casco duplo são exemplos disso. Contudo, a maior contribuição jurídica do caso MV Erika foi a resposta dada pelos tribunais franceses. Os sucessivos julgamentos envolvendo o naufrágio do MV Erika permitiram a identificação de um dano ecológico em si mesmo, sem a necessidade de se demonstrar o impacto econômico da destruição da natureza. Isso significa que, com base na jurisprudência, reconhece-se o valor intrínseco do próprio meio natural.

Artificial intelligence and the right to memory
Authors: Farinella Favio
Published: December 2023

Abstract BackgroundAs an exploratory research, our paper aims to describe how social media platforms are reshaping our processes of memory-making. Artificial intelligence, algorithms and deep learning are changing the situation we dig into our past radically and forever, determining what is memorable to us. We relate the right to identity with individual memory and the incidence of memory processes in the identity of each person. Finally, we characterize the way in which technology alters our memory through different ways.MethodsThis is basic research. We use qualitative methods to understand people's beliefs, experiences, attitudes, behavior, and interactions with social media and AI. We make use of sources of international and domestic Law.ResultsResults have implications for new well-being interventions which take into account the relationship between internet and AI on human memory and the incidence they have in the re-creation of the human right to identity.ConclusionsWe as humans increasingly tend to rely on the internet as an external hard drive of memories. This change deprives us of the natural process of remembering things. In due time, individual changes in the process of remembering will impact the social process, changing as a result the social memory of a community. As a result, the personal and the social categories of the right to identity will also be altered.
A note on multidegrees of automorphisms of the form (expD)⋆
Authors:   AGH University of Krakow, Karaś Marek , Pękała Pawel ,   AGH University of Krakow
Published: December 2023

Let k be a field of characteristic zero. For any polynomial mapping F=(F1,...,Fn):kn→kn by multidegree of F we mean the followingn-tuple of natural numbers mdegF=(degF1,...,degFn). Let us denote by k[x]=k[x1,...,xn] a ring of polynomials innvariables x1,...,xn over k. If D:k[x]→k[x] is a locally nilpotent k-derivation, then one can define the automorphisme xpD of k-algebra k[x] and then the polynomial automorphism (expD)⋆ of kn. In this note we present a general upper bound of mdeg(expD)⋆ in the case of a triangular derivation D, and also show that this estimation is exact.

A novel treatment planning tool has been presented, the Zygomatic Bone Zone index, to improve the surgical placement of zygomatic implants, to help reduce complications and to allow for further placement within the zygomatic bone in the future.

CPD/Clinical Relevance: It is important for clinicians to be aware of treatment modalities that might be of benefit to some patients.
ŞAH İSMAİL İLE GÜLİZAR HİKÂYESİ İÇİN YENİ BİR KAYNAK: BOYABAT VARYANTI
Authors: NAZLI Atiye
Published: December 2023

Halk hikâyeleri 16. yüzyıldan itibaren Anadolu sahasında âşıklar ve meddahlar tarafından anlatılan nazım-nesir şeklinde halk edebiyatı türüdür. Konuları aşk, kahramanlık, hem aşk hem kahramanlıktır. 20. yüzyıl sonlarına kadar televizyon ve sinema yani beyaz perdenin hayatımıza girmesine kadar halkın sosyalleşmesini aynı zamanda eğitim ve kültür aktarımı işlevini üstlenmişlerdir. Üzerinde yüzlerce çalışma yapılan halk hikâyelerinin kahramanları; âşıklar, mitik ve hayali kahramanlar veya tarihte yaşamış o toplum için önemli olan bir sultan, şair veya bey olabilmektedir. Çalışmamızda ele aldığımız hikâye kahramanı Şah İsmail’dir. O Türkiye sahası içinde yaşamamış olmasına karşın hayatı etrafında anlatılan halk hikâyesi doğudan batıya hemen her ilimizde yer almaktadır. Bir halk hikâyesi kahramanı olarak görülen Şah İsmail, anlatılarda genellikle bir sevgilisine kavuşmak için mücadele eden âşık gibi görülmesine karşın, hikâye eş metinlerine kimi zaman kahraman olarak yer almaktadır. Şah İsmail Hikâyelerinin kurgu yapısı yazılı ve sözlü kaynaklarda paralel işlenmiş, ancak anlatıcıya bağlı olarak bazen uzun veya kısa olabilmektedir. Genellikle halk hikâyelerinin yazılı kaynaklarda yer alan nazım kısımları, sözlü kaynaklarda çok fazla yer almamaktadır. İncelememize konu olan “Şah İsmail ve Gülizar Hikâyesi”nde manzum kısımları eksik mısra ve dörtlükler olmasına karşın ses kaydında ezgili bir biçimde söylenmiş olması önem arz etmektedir. Kaynak kişi, meddah veya âşık olmamasına karşın, hikâyenin nazım kısımlarını ezgili şekilde söylemesi, hikâye anlatma geleneğinin 20. yüzyıl sonlarında varlığını devam ettirmesi açısından önemlidir. Makalemizde ele alınan derleme 1984 yılında Sinop- Boyabat ilçesinin eski Nefsidere yeni adı Dereçatı köyünde yaşayan kaynak kişiden derlenmiştir. Çalışmamızda hikâyenin nazım kısımları eksiksiz verilecektir.
The role of EDIL3 in maintaining cartilage extracellular matrix and inhibiting osteoarthritis development
Authors: Chen Mei-Feng , Hu Chih-Chien , Hsu Yung-Heng , Lin Yu-Chih , Chen Kai-Lin , Ueng Steve W. N. , Chang Yuhan
Published: December 2023

Aims

Therapeutic agents that prevent chondrocyte loss, extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation, and osteoarthritis (OA) progression are required. The expression level of epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like repeats and discoidin I-like domains-containing protein 3 (EDIL3) in damaged human cartilage is significantly higher than in undamaged cartilage. However, the effect of EDIL3 on cartilage is still unknown.

Methods

We used human cartilage plugs (ex vivo) and mice with spontaneous OA (in vivo) to explore whether EDIL3 has a chondroprotective effect by altering OA-related indicators.

Results

EDIL3 protein prevented chondrocyte clustering and maintained chondrocyte number and SOX9 expression in the human cartilage plug. Administration of EDIL3 protein prevented OA progression in STR/ort mice by maintaining the number of chondrocytes in the hyaline cartilage and the number of matrix-producing chondrocytes (MPCs). It reduced the degradation of aggrecan, the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13, the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) score, and bone remodelling. It increased the porosity of the subchondral bone plate. Administration of an EDIL3 antibody increased the number of matrix-non-producing chondrocytes (MNCs) in cartilage and exacerbated the serum concentrations of OA-related pro-inflammatory cytokines, including monocyte chemotactic protein-3 (MCP-3), RANTES, interleukin (IL)-17A, IL-22, and GROα. Administration of β1 and β3 integrin agonists (CD98 protein) increased the expression of SOX9 in OA mice. Hence, EDIL3 might activate β1 and β3 integrins for chondroprotection. EDIL3 may also protect cartilage by attenuating the expression of IL-1β-enhanced phosphokinase proteins in chondrocytes, especially glycogen synthase kinase 3 alpha/beta (GSK-3α/β) and phospholipase C gamma 1 (PLC-γ1).

Conclusion

EDIL3 has a role in maintaining the cartilage ECM and inhibiting the development of OA, making it a potential therapeutic drug for OA.

Cold sensitivity classification using facial image based on convolutional neural network
Authors: Ahn lkoo , Baek Younghwa , Bae Kwang-Ho , Seo Bok-Nam , Jung Kyoungsik , Lee Siwoo
Published: December 2023

Objectives: Facial diagnosis is an important part of clinical diagnosis in traditional East Asian Medicine. In this paper, we proposed a model to quantitatively classify cold sensitivity using a fully automated facial image analysis system.Methods: We investigated cold sensitivity in 452 subjects. Cold sensitivity was determined using a questionnaire and the Cold Pattern Score (CPS) was used for analysis. Subjects with a CPS score below the first quartile (low CPS group) belonged to the cold non-sensitivity group, and subjects with a CPS score above the third quartile (high CPS group) belonged to the cold sensitivity group. After splitting the facial images into train/validation/test sets, the train and validation set were input into a convolutional neural network to learn the model, and then the classification accuracy was calculated for the test set.Results: The classification accuracy of the low CPS group and high CPS group using facial images in all subjects was 76.17%. The classification accuracy by sex was 69.91% for female and 62.86% for male. It is presumed that the deep learning model used facial color or facial shape to classify the low CPS group and the high CPS group, but it is difficult to specifically determine which feature was more important.Conclusions: The experimental results of this study showed that the low CPS group and the high CPS group can be classified with a modest level of accuracy using only facial images. There was a need to develop more advanced models to increase classification accuracy.
Deposition in the Northwest Porcupine Basin During the Cretaceous
Authors: Shath Tareq , Naylor David
Published: December 2023

The paper details the sedimentary infill of the northwest part of the Porcupine Basin, offshore west Ireland, during the Cretaceous. This is a critical area for understanding the sediment input and incremental infilling of the basin, particularly during the early Cretaceous. Late Jurassic rifting and early Berriasian erosion produced a northward narrowing valley on the Base Cretaceous unconformity surface, which provided an entry point for sediment into the basin and also constrained the lateral extent of initial sedimentation. Following Berriasian marine transgression, the first deposits in the Porcupine Basin were turbidites located in localised depressions on the unconformity surface (named here informally as Basal Deposits 1–4). As the unconformity surface became smoother, the succeeding layers were more widespread (Sequences 1–3, the top being of probable Barremian age). Several features, interpreted as mounded fans sourced from the basin flanks, are developed in the Valanginian-Barremian section. Where drilled, the Berriasian to Barremian section is predominantly fine-grained. The rifted marginal horsts were covered in late Barremian time, and Aptian and later sediments onlapped the flanks of the Porcupine High to the west. The ‘Near Base Aptian’ is a well-defined prograding surface and the ‘Near Top Aptian’ horizon is a marked unconformity. The Aptian section is comprised predominantly of deep-water mudrocks and siltstones, although a distinctive, possibly shallower, erosive Intra-Aptian event was also mapped. A renewed sediment influx, comprising of sand prone deltaics, occurred at the northern margin of the basin during the Albian. Sand content decreases southwards into the basin. Sedimentation in the late Cretaceous was dominated by the basinwide deposition of the Chalk Group (Cenomanian-Selandian) deposited in a stable thermal subsidence setting. At the northern basin margin Upper Cretaceous deposits are thin and lithologically variable. The well-defined ‘Top Chalk’ reflector, which shows mounded features, is overlain unconformably by Paleocene clastics.
Stephen Dwoskin: The Feminist Gaze and Postwar Jewish Masculinity
Authors: Garfield Rachel
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT: It is perhaps well known that Stephen Dwoskin was a survivor of polio and made work that was in many ways defined by the lifelong legacy of that childhood event. The focus on the body and its subjectivities has other resonances that demonstrate deep roots of preoccupation to do with Dwoskin's cultural background that I aim to discuss in this article. Not explicitly explored in the film work, critically this aspect of his work has been ignored. Jonathan Boyarin, in his text, "Unheroic Conduct: The Rise of Heterosexuality and the Jewish Man" (1997) sets out a framework for the rethinking of Jewish masculinity as an embodied and proudly feminized entity. He sets this against the stereotypes of a Christian normative macho male identity and the overtly antisemitic trope of the feminized male Jew. In popular culture, postwar American Jewish writers such as Philip Roth and Norman Mailer often embraced the macho male (and its misogynist tendencies), symptomatic of the assimilationist impulse and opportunity of the US at that time. For Stephen Dwoskin, the tension between the Jewish masculinity of his upbringing and the postwar macho masculinity can be seen in the ambivalence of his films towards women. This tension is heightened by Dwoskin's own disability, which left him in calipers and subsequently, a wheelchair. Boyarin's claim that the outsiderness of the Jew affords empathy with the feminist critiques of manhood resonates with Dwoskin's own claim that his works such as Dyn Amo (1972) were empathetic to the plight of women's oppression. Through a close reading of passages from this early film, and comparisons with Dwoskin's later autobiographical films such as, Trying to Kiss the Moon (1994) and Grandpere's Pear (2003), I will interrogate the tensions in Dwoskin's masculinity, disability, and representation of women through Boyarin's framework of Jewishness.
Dwoskin and Me: Halting the Flow of Time
Authors: Daniels Jill
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT: In this article, I discuss the three experimental autobiographical films that Stephen Dwoskin made between 1994 and 2003: Trying to Kiss the Moon (1994), Some Friends (Apart) (2002), and Francis in Memorium (2003). I first met Dwoskin at the Royal College of Art (RCA) film school in London, England, where I was a student in the 1970s and he was a part-time tutor. We were both Jewish with very different personal histories and experiences, but after I left the RCA, he became a close personal friend. As a disabled American expatriate, he spent most of his adult life looking at the world through a camera lens, filming his friends and lovers, and building an archive of footage that form part of these films supplemented by the extensive home movie footage filmed by his father Henry Dwoskin, a carpenter. My analysis of his films is therefore colored by my own personal recollections of him.
Middle, Reflexive, and Reciprocal Constructions in Nalögo: A Typological and Diachronic Account
Authors: Alfarano Valentina
Published: December 2023

In many Oceanic languages, middle and reciprocal meanings are expressed by reflexes of Proto-Oceanic *paRi-, a polysemous and polyfunctional prefix with collective, associative, iterative, and reciprocal functions. Traditionally, reflexive constructions in Oceanic languages were marked differently from middles and reciprocals. Where reflexes of Proto-Oceanic *paRi- show a lower productivity or disappeared, Oceanic languages co-opted available morphemes and constructions to express the functions once performed by the prefix. In terms of polysemes, along with the middle/reciprocal one, which is rooted in the history of these constructions, two paths of extension developed over time: (i) from middle/reciprocal to reflexive (with reflexes of Proto-Oceanic *paRi-), and (ii) from reflexive to reciprocal, but different from middle (with innovated markers). The aim of this paper is twofold: (i) to provide a description of middles, reflexives, and reciprocals in Nalögo, a Reefs–Santa Cruz Oceanic language, and (ii) to contribute to the discussion on the typology and diachrony of such constructions within the Oceanic family. In particular, I show that Nalögo has two innovated markers, the reflexive =lëbu (maybe from Proto-Oceanic *[ta]bulo(s) ‘turn round, turn back’) and the reciprocal -welo . Furthermore, Nalögo displays a so-far unknown path of semantic extension within the Oceanic family: from reflexive to middle. While the reflexive–middle polysemy is widely attested in the languages of the world, it constitutes a typological rarity in Oceanic languages.
Of Darics, Staters, and Disks: Some Issues in Achaemenid
Authors: Tuplin Christopher J.
Published: December 2023

Abstract: This article deals with three coins. The first is the gold daric, a "monument" of Darius' royal self-presentation (if not quite an imperial currency). The second is the Athenian tetradrachm (strictly speaking the currency of someone else's empire) and its impact, perhaps in counterfeit form, at the first cataract of the Nile and in a remote oasis in the Western Desert. The third is a Cilician issue associated with Tiribazus that deserves more attention than it has generally received. All three cases raise questions about the relationship between designer, issuer, and individual coin that are directly relevant to the way coinage worked in Achaemenid imperial space and to any attempt to validate ps.-Aristotle's location of coinage entirely within the royal oikonomia . Abstract: Cet article traite de trois monnaies. La première est la darique d'or, un « monument » de l'autoprésentation royale de Darius (si elle n'est pas tout à fait une monnaie impériale). La deuxième est la tétradrachme athénienne (au sens strict, la monnaie d'un autre empire) et sa présence, possiblement sous forme contrefaite, jusqu'à la première cataracte du Nil et a une oasis dans le désert occidental. La troisième est une production cilicienne associée à Tiribaze qui mérite davantage d'attention qu'elle n'en a généralement reçu. Ces trois cas soulèvent tous des questions sur la relation entre créateur, producteur, et pièce individuelle, questions qui sont directement liées à la façon dont la monnaie fonctionnait dans l'espace impéerial achéménide. Elles sont ègalement pertinentes si l'on souhaite confirmer les dires du pseudo-Aristote, selon qui la monnaie était localisée entièrement à l'intérieur de l' oikonomia royale.
The ΣYN Coinage: Agesilaus versus Lysander
Authors: Psoma Selene E.
Published: December 2023

Abstract: This paper reviews previous attributions of the coinage, supports dates between 395 and 394 for it, and relates it to Agesilaus ii and the preparation of the fleet by the cities-allies of the Spartans, to which refers the legend ΣYN ( synteleia ). Iconography—Heracles drakontopnigon —supports the relation to Agesilaus, the Heraclid par excellence, while the Hecatomnus hoard reveals that all coinages on the Chian standard of the hoard are associated with the Spartan-Persian War (399–386 b.c.e.). Abstract: Cet article passe en revue les attributions précédentes de la monnaie ΣYN, argumente en faveur de dates entre 395 et 394 pour celle-ci, et relie cette monnaie à Agésilas ii et à la préparation d'une flotte par les cités alliées des Spartiates, à laquelle la légende ΣYN ( synteleia ) fait référence. L'iconographie — Héraclès drakontopnigon — soutient la relation avec Agésilas, l'Héraclide par excellence, tandis que le trésor d'Hécatomne révèle que toutes les monnaies appartenant au standard de Chios dans ce trésor sont associées à la guerre spartiato-perse (399-386 a. C.).
Money and Legitimacy after Alexander
Authors: Dahmen Karsten
Published: December 2023

Abstract: This paper provides an overview on the character of the coinages issued by Alexander's immediate successors. In particular their use of their own names, royal titles, portraits, and introductions of new coin types represent individual choices. An analysis of these choices enables us to understand the way coinage was used as an instrument of legitimacy. Abstract: Cet article donne une vue d'ensemble de la nature des monnaies produites par les successeurs immédiats d'Alexandre. Plus spécifiquement, leur utilisation de leur propre nom, titres royaux et portraits, et l'introduction de nouveaux types de pièces représentent des choix individuels. Une analyse de ces choix nous permet de comprendre comment la monnaie était utilisée comme outil de légitimation.

Published: December 2023

In this work, a THz stereo inverse synthetic aperture radar scheme based on photonics is proposed, and proof-of-concept experimentally demonstrated, achieving high resolution and fast three-dimensional (3D) positioning of multiple targets. An optical frequency comb and a uni-traveling carrier photodiode are employed to photonically generate a linear frequency-modulation signal at 300–320 GHz. By two incoherent measurements at different angles with one pair of antennas, 3D positioning of plane reflectors over a distance of 0.6 m is successfully accomplished, achieving a resolution of 7.5 mm for both range and azimuth dimensions, and a maximum experimental height error of 4 mm.
Key technology of vector removal decoupling in a slope-based figuring model and application in continuous phase plate fabrication

Published: December 2023

For the high-precision fabrication of a continuous phase plate (CPP), a combined decoupling algorithm of single-step decoupling based on the Clairaut–Schwarz theorem and global decoupling by stagewise iteration is proposed. It attempts to address the problem of the low accuracy and limitation of the existing slope-based figuring (SF) model in two-dimensional applications caused by the vector removal coupling between the tool slope influence function and the material removal slope due to the inherent convolution effect in the SF model. The shortcomings of CPP interferometry and the application bottleneck of the Hartmann test in traditional height-based figuring model are studied. The generation mechanism of vector removal coupling is analyzed and compensated. A CPP of 85mm×85mm was successfully machined by the decoupled slope-based figuring model, and the root mean square (RMS) of the surface height error accounted for 6.01% of the RMS of the design value. The research results can effectively improve the convergence and certainty of CPP fabrication using the slope-based figuring model.
Nonreciprocal Goos-Hänchen shift in a Dirac semimetal based asymmetric photonic crystal structure
Authors: Hu Pengya , Zhou Jun , Song Qi , Da Haixia
Published: December 2023

The generation and control of the Goos-Hänchen (GH) shift is a vital step toward its realistic applications, but investigations have mainly been limited to the directional-dependent ones; i.e., the GH shift is reciprocal for two opposite propagating directions. Here, by designing the asymmetrical multilayered structure with three-dimensional bulky Dirac semimetal (BDS) films, we theoretically confirm the footprint of the pronounced directional-dependent GH shift, and that it can be switched by the Fermi energy of the BDS. In addition to this electric field induced switching, the period numbers of the unit cells in the asymmetrical structure can also modulate the directional-dependent GH shift. The asymmetrical feature of the multilayered structure dominantly causes the emergence of the directional-dependent GH shift. Our discovery related to the directional-dependent GH shift constitutes an important ingredient for directional-dependent optophotonic devices such as directional sensors, optical switches, and detectors.

Influence of static and dynamic ocular aberrations on full-field OCT for in-vivo high resolution retinal imaging
Authors: Mece Pedro , Cai Yao , Thouvenin Olivier , Grieve Kate
Published: December 2023

Under spatially incoherent illumination, Time-domain Full-Field Optical Coherence Tomography (FFOCT) offers the possibility to achieve in-vivo retinal imaging at cellular resolution over a wide field-of-view. Such performance is possible albeit the presence of ocular aberrations even without the use of classical Adaptive Optics. While the effect of aberrations in FFOCT has been debated these past years, mostly on low order and static aberrations, we present for the first time a method enabling a quantitative study of the effect of statistically representative static and dynamic ocular aberrations on FFOCT image metrics, such as SNR, resolution, and image similarity. While we show that ocular aberrations can decrease FFOCT SNR and resolution by up to 14 dB and 5-fold, we take advantage of such quantification to discuss different possible compromises between performance gain and Adaptive Optics complexity and speed, to optimize both sensor-based and sensorless FFOCT high-resolution retinal imaging.
Making the BEST decision-the BESTa project development, implementation and evaluation of a digital Decision Aid in Swedish cancer screening programmes- a description of a research project
Authors: Fritzell Kaisa , Hedberg Berith , Woudstra Anke , Forsberg Anna , Sventelius Marika , Kottorp Anders , Jervaeus Anna
Published: December 2023

Background

Sweden has a long tradition of organized national population-based screening programmes. Participation rates differ between programmes and regions, being relatively high in some groups, but lower in others. To ensure an equity perspective on screening, it is desirable that individuals make an informed decision based on knowledge rather than ignorance, misconceptions, or fear. Decision Aids (DAs) are set to deliver information about different healthcare options and help individuals to visualize the values associated with each available option. DAs are not intended to guide individuals to choose one option over another. The advantage of an individual Decision Aid (iDA) is that individuals gain knowledge about cancer and screening by accessing one webpage with the possibility to communicate with health professionals and thereafter make their decision regarding participation. The objective is therefore to develop, implement and evaluate a digital iDA for individuals invited to cancer screening in Sweden.

Methods

This study encompasses a process-, implementation-, and outcome evaluation. Multiple methods will be applied including focus group discussions, individual interviews and the usage of the think aloud technique and self-reported questionnaire data. The project is based on The International Patient Decision Aid Standards (IPDAS) framework and the proposed model development process for DAs. Individuals aged 23–74, including women (the cervical-, breast- and CRC screening module) and men (the CRC screening module), will be included in the developmental process. Efforts will be made to recruit participants with self-reported physical and mental limitations, individuals without a permanent residence and ethnic minorities.

Discussion

To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first attempt aimed at developing an iDA for use in the Swedish context. The iDA is intended to facilitate shared decision making about participation in screening. Furthermore, the iDA is expected to increase knowledge and raise awareness about cancer and cancer screening.

Patient or public contribution

Lay people are involved throughout the whole development and implementation process of the digital DA.

É possível reconstruir as Guerras de Tebas?
Authors: Abrantes Miguel Carvalho
Published: December 2023

Seguindo parte da metodologia utilizada anteriormente para reconstruir os episódios centrais do Ciclo Troiano, este artigo averigua a possibilidade de o fazer relativamente às Guerras de Tebas exclusivamente com base nas fontes literárias que nos chegaram da Antiguidade. Para tal, procede a um levantamento sumário das obras mais importantes para o estudo deste tema mitológico e, com base nas informações recolhidas nas mesmas, tenta, a título de exemplo, restabelecer os episódios das mortes dos sete grandes heróis que atacaram a cidade de Tebas na sua primeira guerra. Finalmente, os resultados serão tomados em conta para apurar se é possível concretizar uma reconstrução mais alongada das Guerras de Tebas.
Learning to read ancient Greek at school: where ancient language learning meets contemporary behaviourism
Authors: Ferrara Domenico
Published: December 2023

In this paper, an existing behavioral intervention designed to facilitate the acquisition of, among others, reading skills, known as Technology of Teaching (Berens, 2020) is introduced and applied to the acquisition of phonemic decoding of ancient Greek graphemes in the context of the early phases of ancient Greek learning during the first year of Liceo classico (the Italian high school were both Greek and Latin are studied). The Technology of Teaching is mainly based on Precision Teaching and, as such, on the use of the Standard Celeration Chart, whose application to Greek learning will be detailed in these pages.
La música de Jazz en femenino. Proyección profesional, ecosistemas educativos y gestión cultural en España
Authors: Cantos Ruiz Juan Manuel , González Gutiérrez Sara , Merchán Sánchez-Jara Javier , Mastrobattista Ludovica
Published: December 2023

El presente trabajo tiene como propósito central analizar la situación de la mujer en la música Jazz en España desde un enfoque multidimensional. Para ello se estudia el proceso de institucionalización del Jazz con perspectiva de género, abordando el papel de los ecosistemas educativos, formales y no formales, como agentes promotores de la visibilización y universalización de la presencia de la mujer en un estilo musical tradicionalmente relegado a la esfera masculina. Desde la misma perspectiva de los estudios de género, se estudian los factores y contextos que condicionan cómo las mujeres músicos enfocan su carrera dentro del género del Jazz y su presencia como cantantes, instrumentistas, productoras y gestoras culturales en el panorama de la industria musical. Para ello, se analiza, desde una perspectiva cuantitativa, la presencia de la mujer en los festivales más relevantes de la escena Jazz española. El trabajo permite concluir que, si bien es cierto que la inserción de la mujer en el entorno educativo de la música Jazz es plena, y asimilable a la del género masculino, en el ámbito de la creación e interpretación se perpetúan desigualdades y desequilibrios que obedecen a cuestiones atávicas, cuyas poderosas sinergias requieren de lineamientos estratégicos y acciones específicas que permitan revertir esta situación.
La inclusión en Educación Primaria a través del movimiento y la danza
Authors: Guillén García Marina
Published: December 2023

El arduo recorrido hacia la inclusión supone uno de los objetivos esenciales para la educación actual, por ello, el presente artículo plantea una intervención didáctica para quinto de Primaria cuya finalidad consiste en la búsqueda de la inclusión en un grupo-clase a través de tres sesiones, cada una dirigida a una rama específica de la misma que fomente el respeto y la tolerancia hacia el grupo de iguales, personas con diversidad funcional y de otras culturas.

Su puesta en práctica se ha llevado a cabo en un Colegio Público de Infantil y Primaria de la Región de Murcia. El hilo conductor de dicha propuesta se enfoca en el movimiento y la danza,  debido a las posibilidades inclusivas que presentan.

Las conclusiones obtenidas de este estudio suponen destacar el papel crucial de la danza como elemento de acercamiento entre personas diversas. La música, como lenguaje universal, demostró ser un puente efectivo entre diferentes culturas y capacidades, contribuyendo al logro de los objetivos propuestos. En la discusión de los resultados, se enfatiza la importancia de no abordar estas sesiones de forma aislada, sino de integrar de manera continua la visibilización de realidades ajenas en esta etapa educativa.
