Authors: Artymuk Natalia V. , Chervov Vitaliy O. , Danilova Larissa N. , Polenok Elena G. , Zotova Olga
Published: March 2021

Objectives

The objective of the study was to determine the level of antibodies (AB) of Ig classes A and G to estradiol (E2), progesterone (P) and benzo [a] pyrene (Bp) in patients with endometriosis of various severity and estimate their threshold values as a risk factor for the development of endometriosis.

Methods

A retrospective case–control study was performed. The study involved 200 women. Group I: women with endometriosis (n=100), Group II: patients with tubal-peritoneal infertility (n=100). All patients underwent immunological studies of blood serum; and the levels of steroid hormones (P, E2), antibodies to them and Bp were determined. A ROC analysis was carried out to identify threshold values of antibodies levels.

Results

Women with endometriosis were found to have statistically significantly higher levels of antibodies IgA and IgG to E2, P and benzo [a] pyrene compared to women of Group II. The threshold levels of IgA-Bp, IgA-E2 and IgA-P are >5 CU (conventional unit), IgG-Bp, IgG-E2>9 CU and IgG-P>8 CU. The level of IgG-P in patients with severe forms of endometriosis is statistically significantly higher than in minor forms of the disease. In case of severe forms, there is a tendency to increasing other classes of antibodies.

Conclusions

Patients with endometriosis usually have a higher level of IgA and IgG to Bp, E2, P. Their threshold values, which are risk factors for the development of the disease, are estimated.
Alles nur eine Frage der Kompetenz?

Published: March 2021

Inwiefern erreichen Schülerinnen und Schüler, die über gleiche Kompetenzen verfügen, auch gleiche Abschlüsse und gleiche Abschlussnoten? Dieser Fragestellung gehen wir am Beispiel des Mittleren Schulabschlusses und des Abiturs der Hamburger Prüfungsjahrgänge der Schuljahre 2015/16 und 2016/17 nach. In diesem Kontext untersuchen wir ebenfalls, inwieweit Gruppenunterschiede in den Abschlussnoten und in der Abschlusswahrscheinlichkeit (nach Geschlecht, Migrationshintergrund und sozialem Status) bestehen und inwieweit sie auf Kompetenzunterschiede zurückzuführen sind. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass zwar keine Chancengerechtigkeit besteht, die Vergabe von Schulabschlüssen und Abschlussnoten aber weitgehend leistungsgerecht erfolgt. Auffällig ist dabei, dass sich der Leistungsvorteil der Mädchen unter Kontrolle der Kompetenzen vergrößert.
Does Black Representation Matter?
Authors: Stout Christopher T. , Tate Katherine , Wilson Meghan
Published: March 2021

This article provides a broad review of research around black political representation in Congress and state legislatures. We begin by exploring trends in black representation in legislative bodies from Reconstruction until 2018. We then discuss controversies around the creation of majority-minority districts and the advantages and disadvantages of these districts for African Americans. Our investigation considers the legislative and empowerment benefits that blacks gain from being represented by someone who looks like them. We conclude by discussing potential areas for future research around descriptive representation and assess how growing diversity in the 116th Congress may matter for the numerous challenges the black community faces.
On the Significance of the Concept of Memory Culture in Urban Studies (A Case Study of Vilnius)
Authors: Kasner Małgorzata
Published: March 2021

This article aims to present the possibilities offered to urban studies by the concept of memory culture. The case study discussed is that of Vilnius in the 1990–2018 period. The definition put forward by C. Cornelißen, for whom memory culture is “the formal generic term for all possible forms of conscious human memory of historical events, personages and processes”, inspired the creation of a research model encompassing: the multilingual urban discourse of Vilnius (analysis of texts), interviews with representatives of the official and alternative discourses of Vilnius’ memory (analysis of oral histories), and spatial representations of the past (analysis of carriers of memory). This diversified corpus of sources will allow for as comprehensive as possible a description of the phenomenon that is present-day Vilnius’ memory culture; it will also extend the boundaries of research towards true interdisciplinarity.
Polish healing conjurations (zagowory) in the collection of Lithuanian conjuration’s manuscripts
Authors: Vologdina Tatjana
Published: March 2021

Lithuanian conjurations (zagovory) constitute a unique part of Lithuanian folklore. In the collection of conjurations’ manuscripts described in the publication of Daiva Vaitkevičienė (2008), we will find records of these archaic texts in various languages, including Polish. Polish-language conjurations constitute a separate subgroup in the Balto-Slavic context. Following the chronological criterion, we are dealing with texts of pre-Christian and after-Christ origins. Due to mutual cultural influences as well as functioning of different languages within Lithuania, it is usually not possible to determine the original language of conjuration. Only in a few cases we are able to state, which version of conjuration is its translation. This is indicated primarily by the structure of the text as well as its lexical features, adaptation or transliteration. The article describes the attempt to compare Polish and Lithuanian conjurations’ texts, classify their main themes and analyze how they worked.
Comparison of Mikalojus Daukša’s „Catechism“ (1595) and Its Polish Original: Onomateme „širdis“ and Its Equivalents
Authors: Pajėdienė Jūratė
Published: March 2021

The article continues the research, which centers on the comparison of Mikalojus Daukša’s Catechism (DK, 1595) and its Polish original – Jakub Ledesma’s Catechism (LeK, ~1572). This time the article focuses on the polysemy of the word širdis, which becomes apparent in the comparison of the fixations of this word in Daukša’s texts (Daukša’s Postilla (DP, 1599) is referred to as an additional source) and their original Polish equivalents as well as the contexts of their usage. DK lexeme širdis corresponds to LeK serce, serdeczny, żywot, myśl, vmysł. DP lexeme širdis is selected as an equivalent to the lexemes and phrases with serce, serdeczny, myśl, vmysł, męstwo, pamięć, sumnienie, stałość, trwałość, żalość, wdziecżnie, miec na pieczy in Jakub Wujek’s text. The inconsistencies between the onomateme širdis and the Polish original are due to the translation author’s creative experience as well as the range of meanings associated with this word and its phrases in the native language and the tradition of usage.

Authors: Youssif N. H. , Hafiz N. M. , Halawa M. A. , Aziz H. M.
Published: March 2021

This study was carried out to evaluate the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as a risk factor associated with some microorganisms isolated from subclinical mastitis (SCM) milk samples from Holstein Friesian dairy animals in Fayoum area, Egypt. The percentage of the SCM in the farm was found to be 41.18% and 63.88% at quarter and cows level respectively, with mean somatic cell count (SCC) of 8.8×105 ± 9.2×103 cells/mL and electrical conductivity (EC) 6.27 ± 0.066 mS/cm for SCM quarter milk samples. Out of the total 444 SCM cow milk samples, the most often isolated microorganisms were Staphylococcus aureus: 296 (66.6%), Enterococcus spp.: 230 (51.80%), Escherichia coli: 210 (47.29%) and Streptococcus agalactiae: 106 (23.87%). AMR was determined by disc diffusion test and the corresponding resistance genes were detected by PCR. Results of the in vitro susceptibility tests performed and the phenotypes indicated that the highest resistance to antibiotics for isolated microorganisms was against penicillin followed by amoxicillin + clavulanic acid, oxacillin and tetracycline, whereas moderate resistance was exhibited to oxytetracycline, ampicillin, sulfamethazole/trimethoprim, cefotaxime and erythromycin. However the most effective antibiotics against most isolates were nitrofurantoin and gentamicin followed by enrofloxacin, norfloxacin and cefoxitin. It was shown that the resistance to tetracyclines was due to the tetK or tetA(A) genes, the resistance to β-lactams (penicillins) – to blaZ and blaTEM genes, to macrolides (erythromycin): to ermB and ermC genes. Methicillin resistance genes were mecA, mec1 and mecC, glycopeptides (vancomycin) resistance gene was vanA, and norfloxacin resistance was attributed to norA gene.
Evaluation of some metabolic profile parameters in transition cows: thresholds for estimating postpartum diseases in Aydin province
Authors: Erdoğan S. , Ural K.
Published: March 2021

This study aimed to evaluate non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), beta hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA), magnesium (Mg2+), calcium (Ca2+) and lactate as biological tests for the detection of some metabolic diseases during transition period in selected dairy farms located in Aydın province. Cow-side analysis with body condition score evalutation were performed weekly in at least 12 dairy cattle from each farm from prepartum week 2 to postpartum week 2. According to the prepartum NEFA ≥0.4 mmol/L, postpartum BHBA ≥1.4 mmol/L and Ca2+ ≤ 2.0 mmol/L at parturition (day 0) in herd-based evaluation, it was observed that all farms were positively evaluated for negative energy balance and also at risk for subclinical hypocalcaemia. Regarding the threshold value of Mg2+ <0.61 mmol/L, subclinical hypomagnesaemia was observed at the Ist and IInd farms. It was concluded that prepartum NEFA threshold (0.68 mmol/L), obtained from the receiver operating characteristics statistical analysis could be used for observing some postpartum clinical diseases. It was suggested that it allowed planning and strategic interventions to prevent herd-based diseases in Turkey and will be a precedent for future studies and herd management.

Background and aims

Sports betting has been barely explored independently from other gambling behaviors. Little evidence is available regarding the factors affecting its severity in a clinical sample. The current study explores new determinants for sports betting severity in Spain by the inclusion of psychopathological distress and personality factors.

Methods

A sample of 352 Spanish sports bettors undergoing treatment for gambling disorder was recruited. Multiple regression models were used to evaluate the effects of sociodemographic variables, the age of onset of gambling behavior, the global psychopathological distress (SCL-90R GSI) and the personality profile (TCI-R) on sports betting severity and their influence over frequency (bets per episode) and debts due to gambling.

Results

We found that older age, higher psychopathological distress, lower self-directedness level, and higher novelty seeking level were predictors of gambling severity in Spanish sports bettors. The highest betting frequency was found in men, with the lowest education levels but the highest social status, the highest psychopathological distress, reward dependence score, and self-transcendence trait and the lowest persistence score. Debts were also associated to higher score in cooperativeness as well as older age.

Discussion and conclusions

Our findings call for further exploration of factors affecting sports betting severity regarded as a separate gambling entity subtype, as some of the traditional factors typically found in gamblers do not apply to sports bettors or apply inversely in our country. Consequently, sports bettors might deserve specific clinical approaches to tackle the singularities of their gambling behavior.
The evolution of public relations research –an overview
Authors: Fawkes Johanna
Published: March 2021

The field of public relations is often misunderstood, due to its hybridity, complexity and competing perspectives within the field of scholarship. This essay, which is based on extensive engagement with literature conducted over decades of teaching and researching the subject, outlines the main schools of thought within the field. These are summarised as a) Excellence; b) Advocacy; c) Dialogue; and d) Critical and Cultural approaches. Each perspective reflects variations in understanding of the role of public relations in theory and practice, ranging from an idealised conceptualisation of the practitioner to a demonised view of the practice. It refers throughout to different attitudes to ethics found within these schools, as approaches to ethics provide insight into understandings of the role of public relations within society. The piece concludes with reflections on the growing engagement with promotional culture and emerging research directions.

Authors: Melo Paula Maria Correa de Oliveira , Santos Ronize da Silva , Coelho-Ferreira Marlia
Published: March 2021

Resumo Os agricultores familiares que vivem em áreas de assentamentos rurais estão entre os diversos grupos sociais da Amazônia que detêm um amplo conhecimento sobre o uso de plantas medicinais. Estudos realizados neste contexto revelam uma vasta heterogeneidade no conhecimento e uso de plantas medicinais, bem como a influência dessas comunidades na diversidade vegetal e nos aspectos culturais associados ao seu uso. Esta pesquisa traz informações sobre a dinâmica do conhecimento e uso de plantas medicinais no Assentamento Rural Paulo Fonteles, estabelecido desde o ano de 2006 no Distrito de Mosqueiro, Município de Belém, estado do Pará. Os dados foram obtidos através de entrevistas semiestruturadas e oficinas participativas e analisados qualitativa e quantitativamente. As plantas medicinais são recursos prioritários para os assentados em períodos que antecedem e sucedem a ocupação. Foram registradas 140 plantas medicinais, das quais, 119 foram identificadas e pertencem a 58 famílias botânicas. Sessenta espécies são nativas do Brasil, sendo 21 com domínio fitogeográfico restrito a Amazônia e 59 são introduzidas. O conhecimento local de plantas medicinais encontra-se bem difundido entre informantes de diferentes classes de idade e gênero. As pessoas provenientes de outras regiões do Brasil reportaram um acervo de plantas medicinais significativamente maior do que àquelas naturais do estado do Pará. Entre as 140 plantas mencionadas, 110 referem-se a espécies cujos usos foram mantidos ao longo do tempo pelos informantes. A heterogeneidade sociocultural e a dinâmica do modo de vida dos assentados rurais contribuem para o acúmulo de saberes e no incremento da diversidade da flora local.

Authors: Cipriano Rosiane , Martins João Paulo Rodrigues , Rodrigues Luiz Carlos de Almeida , Falqueto Antelmo Ralph , Gontijo Andreia Barcelos Passos Lima
Published: March 2021

Abstract In vitro cultivation is a technique with wide application for micropropagation. However, each species has specific mineral needs for this type of cultivation. The objective was to assess the impacts of the saline solution culture medium on the performance of the photosynthetic apparatus and growth of Bromelia antiacantha during in vitro cultivation, and thus to elucidate the mitigation of the nutritional imbalance that can interfere in the electron transport in the plants. Plants were cultivated in a salt concentration gradient of MS medium (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% or 100%). The growth traits and fluorescence a chlorophyll were analyzed. Intermediate concentrations of MS medium resulted in plants with a larger number of leaves and longer root length. The OJIP curves and results of the JIP test showed that the plants grown without MS salts presented less efficient photosystem II (PSII), as indicated by the performance index [Pi(total)]. In contrast, the intermediate concentrations (MS 25% and 50%) had a positive effect on the performance of the photosynthetic apparatus. The MS 25% medium can be used for in vitro cultivation of B. antiacantha, enabling the development of plants with suitable physiological qualities for planting in the field.

Published: March 2021

Abstract During seed germination there is production of reactive oxygen species, which, in a controlled way, are important to cell signaling and protection against pathogens, but, in excess, impair germination. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the action of different compounds on antioxidant mechanisms and enzymatic activation in cabbage seeds. Compounds like kojic acid, thymol and tyrosol were used to imbibe the cabbage seeds together with distilled water, and a control treatment without imbibition was used as well, with subsequent assessment by means of germination test, endosperm rupture, vigor, radicle protrusion, and assessment of seedling biochemical analyses by the activity of enzymes ascorbate peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase and α-amylase. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and to the LSD means comparison test. Seeds treated with tyrosol presented higher results on the rupture of the endosperm, germination and vigor, and root development increased with use antioxidants. For the activity of antioxidant enzymes in seedlings, only kojic acid showed increase in the superoxide dismutase activity. There was also a reduction in the catalase activity with the use of thymol and tyrosol compounds compared to dry-seed assessments. After tyrosol treatment, ascorbate peroxidase enzyme was not detected, and water-imbibed seeds showed higher α-amylase activity. The use of antioxidant compounds has beneficial effects on cabbage seeds, and soaking with tyrosol led to better physiological quality, with activation of antioxidant defense mechanisms during germination.

Authors: Jo Hyunwoong , Sung Jung Yeol , Kim Beob Gyun
Published: March 2021

Background: Alternative feed ingredients are widely used in swine diets to lower feed costs, but these ingredients contain a large quantity of non-starch polysaccharides. Supplemental xylanase is known to break down non-starch polysaccharides. However, the effects of exogenous xylanase from Bacillus subtilis on various feed ingredients have rarely been compared. Objective: To evaluate the effects of supplemental xylanase on in vitro disappearance of dry matter (DM) in various feed ingredients for pigs. Methods: Nine feed ingredients were used to measure in vitro ileal disappearance and in vitro total tract disappearance of DM. Each ground ingredient was supplemented with either supplemental xylanase (9,000 U/g) or cornstarch at 1.0%. Results: Supplemental xylanase increased in vitro ileal disappearance of DM in wheat, barley, wheat flour, and wheat bran (p<0.05). The in vitro total tract disappearance of DM for barley and wheat bran increased with xylanase addition (p<0.05). Conclusion: Exogenous xylanase could increase in vitro ileal DM disappearance in barley, wheat, wheat flour, and wheat bran, but did not affect in vitro total tract DM disappearance in wheat and wheat flour.
A infância nos poemas homéricos
Authors: Pinto Ana Paula
Published: March 2021

Enquanto primeiros documentos literários europeus, a Ilíada e a Odisseia asseguram na história cultural do Ocidente um estatuto ímpar: assumindo-se desde a Antiguidade como primeiro fundamento de investigação filológica e filosófica, e superior modelo literário e artístico, e hoje tendencialmente interpretadas no enquadramento de um processo de lenta elaboração criativa de gerações de aedos, a partir de uma peculiar técnica de produção e transmissão, ambas articulam numa enigmática trama poética, a partir da sua natureza tradicional, fios de narrativas míticas e realidades históricas que as modernas investigações arqueológicas não deixam de confirmar. Partindo do pretexto poético oferecido pelas duas obras, propomo-nos rastrear as referências ao universo da infância. Umas, genéricas, ocorrem como imagens de um determinado extracto da sociedade humana, marcado por características, funções e necessidades peculiares. Outras, sustentadas em menções concretas a crianças determinadas, assumem na trama mítica dos dois poemas uma específica funcionalidade dramática, que concorre para a peculiar densidade simbólica da narrativa.

Published: March 2021

Esta investigación tiene por objetivo analizar las distintas actividades que los estudiantes realizan a la hora de escribir en cinco distritos educativos de la provincia de Manabí (Ecuador). Los principales referentes conceptuales del estudio son: autonomía y calidad en el relato escrito, concordancia entre género, número y persona, coherencia y cohesión, todos ellos indicadores vinculados a las pruebas TERCE de ámbito referencial. Se presentan resultados de una encuesta que se aplicó aleatoriamente a 4439estudiantes de cuarto y 4288 en séptimo grados de Educación General Básica y se correlacionan interrogantes planteadas para evaluar la enseñanza de la escritura (dominio textual). Los resultados demuestran que en la dimensión textual, la cohesión textual da cuenta del uso de diversos mecanismos de orden gramatical, mientras que la coherencia global es indicador de continuidad temática. Todos estos elementos deben estar en sincronía con la concordancia nominal (sustantivo y sus determinantes) y la concordancia verbal (sujeto y predicado), al objeto de que la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de la escritura se produzcan en condiciones óptimas. Es necesario, por tanto, aplicar estrategias metodológicas que proporcionen dichas ventajas a los estudiantes.
Integrated sustainable development on a local level – the Island of Krk as an example
Authors: Krstinić Nižić Marinela , Fugošić Nikolina
Published: March 2021

Due to the awareness of the ever growing importance of sustainability for achieving a better future, the concept of sustainable development has been cited in most strategic documents at the international, national, regional, and local level. However, the very implementation of sustainable development often faces obstacles that slow down the entire process of introduction, implementation and control of sustainable development. Therefore this paper has the aim to analyze strategic development documents developed at all levels of local self-government units on the island of Krk in order to link all the strategic goals and to unite all the strategic objectives of sustainable development. The authors have applied the inductive method and the method of analysis and synthesis to connect all strategic documents of the seven units of local self-government and have proposed a complete integrated sustainable development for the area of the island of Krk. This paper is meant to contribute to the finding of an integrated model of sustainable development. This example can also be useful for other cities and municipalities both in the Republic of Croatia and outside its borders, demonstrating that it is possible to work with the aim to improve the quality of living for present as well as for future generations of both residents and visitors.

Authors: Mrzljak Vedran , Anđelić Nikola , Lorencin Ivan , Car Zlatan
Published: March 2021

This paper presents an analysis of the gas turbine real process (with all losses included) before and after a major maintenance. The analysis of both gas turbine operating regimes is based on data measured during its exploitation. Contrary to authors’ expectations, the major maintenance process did not result either in any decrease in losses or increase in efficiencies for the majority of the gas turbine components. However, the major maintenance influenced positively the gas turbine combustion chambers (reduction in losses and increase in the combustion chambers efficiency). After the major maintenance, the overall process efficiency decreased from 43.796% to 41.319% due to a significant decrease in the air mass flow rate and to an increase in the fuel mass flow rate in combustion chambers. A decrease in the gas turbine produced cumulative and useful power after a major maintenance also increased the specific fuel consumption.

Background: Head and neck squamous carcinoma constitutes 30% of malignancies in our region, oral carcinoma being most common among them. Most of these tumours involve lower gingivobuccal sulcus and buccal mucosa. 80% patients present with locally advanced disease. Following resection of these tumours, reconstruction of composite defects is challenging. Though microvascular free flaps are ideal in such cases, it is not always feasible due to malnutrition, peripheral vascular disease, sometimes non–availability of microvascular surgeon and financial constraints. Pectoralis major myocutaneous flap, the workhorse of reconstruction is bulky, non-pliable and cannot be advanced over intact mandible. Forehead flap in complex defects is pliable, versatile, has excellent vascularity and colour matching, easy to harvest and suitable in selected cases and as salvage flap when other flaps fail. The aim of the study was to document outcome of folded forehead flap reconstruction of complex defects following resection of T4 staged oral carcinoma.

Methods: This retrospective study in a tertiary rural hospital included 31 patients with oral carcinoma staged T4. The patients underwent folded forehead flap reconstruction for full thickness cheek defects with some extending into oral commissure and lower lip, along with segmental or alveolar resection of mandible or maxilla.

Results: 27 patients had uneventful healing, 2 had wound dehiscence and 2 had necrosis of distal part of flap. Patients with externally rotated flap had mild trismus and patients in whom forehead flap was used to reconstruct the oral commissure had oral incompetence.

Conclusions: Folded forehead flap is good reconstructive option in complex full thickness defects of cheek and as salvage reconstruction.

Published: March 2021

The presence of force-moment sensing of robotic systems makes it possible to improve the quality of the interaction between the robot and the objects of the external environment. There are many ways to provide force-moment sensing, one of which is to use multicomponent force sensors. However, their cost is quite high, so it is important to search and develop more profitable technical solutions. In this regard, a three-component force measurement sensor was developed, built on the basis of an elastic silicone element, with a built-in permanent magnet, and a hall-effect magnetometer. This technical solution is low-cost. The paper describes the technological process for the production of a three-component force measurement sensor, based on 3D printing of the body with an FDM printer, which makes it cheap to manufacture, and molding of two-component silicone. The paper considers the process of soldering SMD components to boards using a soldering hair dryer, stencils and solder paste, and shows a stand for calibrating the manufactured sensors, consisting of micrometric screws and parts printed on an FDM 3D printer. The mathematical method for calibration is based on the least squares method. The result of calibration of a three-component force measurement sensor is given. The research results in the development of a working sensor with the following characteristics: resolution — 1 mN, sensor sensitivity — 0.005 T / N.

Il s’agit d’une pratique faisant l’objet d’un nouvel intérêt dans les bibliothèques, car elle permet de résoudre des problèmes associés à l’indexation matière utilisant des vocabulaires contrôlés. Il s’agit principalement des problèmes de la masse des documents à indexer et de l’hétérogénéité des référentiels utilisés. Dans un premier temps, l’enrichissement automatique de l’indexation est introduit dans le contexte de remise en question de l’indexation matière et est présenté comme solution à ces deux problèmes. Dans un deuxième temps, ce travail examine la possibilité d’implémenter un système d’enrichissement automatique sur les données du réseau Renouvaud. Un état des lieux de l’indexation est présenté et débouche sur une analyse établissant si l’enrichissement automatique est envisageable. Enfin, l’on présente une tentative d’enrichissement automatique concrète, au moyen du système de gestion Alma utilisé dans Renouvaud.

Digitale Editionen vom «kleinen Mann»
Authors: Ackermann Christa
Published: March 2021

Wie können bei der Bearbeitung von historischen Quellen entstandene Forschungsdaten langfristig und nachnutzbar (FAIR) online zur Verfügung gestellt werden? Dieser Frage wird in drei Schritten nachgegangen: Zuerst werden die Grundlagen des digitalen Datenaustauschs anhand der wichtigsten einschlägigen Standards bzw. Konzepte erarbeitet (Unicode, TEI, Linked Data und IIIF). In einem weiteren Schritt wird eine Auswahl von Editionssoftware bzw. -plattformen auf deren Tauglichkeit für kleine Editionsvorhaben geprüft. Die in den Vordergrund gestellten Projekte (FuD, Corpus Corporum, NIE-INE und Juxta Editions) verfolgen teilweise sehr unterschiedliche Ziele. Keines bietet eine ideale Lösung für ein kleines Editionsprojekt, alle haben jedoch gute Ansätze. Im letzten Teil geht es um die Frage, was eine ideale Editionsplattform für die Speicherung von Kleineditionen und bruchstückhaften Editionsergebnissen bieten würde. Während es viele mehr oder weniger dringende Eignungskriterien gibt, ist der Kern der Anforderung überschaubar: die Daten müssen FAIR aufbereitet werden, der einfache Zugang zur Editionsplattform muss in finanzieller und technischer Hinsicht gewährleistet sein und ein Minimum an gängigen einschlägigen Standards muss berücksichtigt werden. Aufgrund dieser minimalistischen Anforderungen ist zu hoffen, dass bald ein entsprechendes Produkt auf den Markt kommen wird.

El título primordial tarasco de Tócuaro, Michoacán
Authors: Roskamp Hans , Monzón Cristina
Published: March 2021

Los títulos primordiales constituyen una importante categoría en el amplio corpus de documentos nativos de la Nueva España de los siglos XVII y XVIII. Generalmente elaborados por escribanos (carariecha) locales o especialistas regionales, quienes combinaron información tomada de documentos más antiguos y de la tradición oral, enfatizan la fundación de los pueblos y los límites de sus tierras. Estas historias locales fueron —y a menudo siguen siendo— empleadas cuando la integridad territorial de la comunidad llegó a ser amenazada por los vecinos. El presente artículo incluye la transcripción, traducción y análisis de un título primordial escrito en lengua tarasca o p’urhépecha. El documento, actualmente custodiado en la Biblioteca Nacional de Antropología e Historia en la Ciudad de México, originalmente viene de Tócuaro, un pequeño pueblo en la orilla sur del Lago de Pátzcuaro en Michoacán.

Published: March 2021

Los textos orales documentados en lenguas yutoaztecas del noroeste de México son escasos en comparación con los de lenguas del centro y sur de México. Esto nos habla también de la imperante necesidad de su documentación. Este escenario no es excepcional para el tarahumara o rarámuri. El texto oral aquí presentado no corresponde al primero en la lengua rarámuri publicado en la revista Tlalocan, pero representa una primera muestra de textos orales recopilados en años recientes y registrados mediante metodologías más actuales como parte de un proyecto de documentación lingüística. Esta contribución tiene como objetivo dejar registrado un texto distinto al discurso narrativo en la lengua rarámuri de la localidad de Norogachi. El texto ‘Échi napíwili napisó kítila newáami’ representa el discurso procedimental, en su modalidad de una receta de cocina: la preparación del nixtamal con ceniza de encino. Este texto registra una práctica cultural poco común actualmente entre los rarámuri. No obstante, se le reconoce común entre los ki’yawáli ‘las personas de antes’ y particularmente los mayores u ochélame ‘los adultos mayores’.
