Metodologias ativas como estratégia pedagógica para a aplicação da arqueologia da arquitetura na restauração arquitetônica no Brasil
Authors: Ferreira Ton , Freitas Pedro
Published: December 2020

Los enfoques metodológicos de la arqueología brasileña en la arquitectura siempre han priorizado la información sobre las estructuras enterradas y la exhumación de los objetos. Durante el programa para la recuperación de ciudades históricas, llamado Monumenta, la falta de metodologías para el reconocimiento y análisis de la materialidad constructiva histórica, junto con el desarrollo inmobiliario acelerado, conllevó a la desaparición de parte del testimonio de la hibridación cultural de lo que ahora llamamos Brasil. El propósito de este artículo es mostrar el proceso práctico de los talleres que resultaron en un diseño metodológico para llenar el vacío en la actividad arqueológica brasileña con la restauración del edificio histórico. Después de analizar las limitaciones de los enfoques de arqueología de la arquitectura (AA) sobre los objetos locales, aplicamos “metodologías de enseñanza activa” a talleres pedagógicos para estudiantes universitarios de arqueología y arquitectura en la Universidad Federal de Sergipe. Los resultados de las intervenciones en las ruinas de “Casa n. 3” en Laranjeiras demuestran que la aplicación de AA en un contexto brasileño requiere adaptaciones, pero sigue siendo un instrumento eficiente para identificar y valorar la arquitectura histórica en los procesos de desaparición.
[pt] As abordagens metodológicas da arqueologia brasileira sobre a arquitetura sempre priorizaram as informações acerca das estruturas soterradas e a exumação do espólio a elas associadas. Durante o programa de recuperação de cidades históricas, denominado Monumenta, a falta de metodologias para o reconhecimento e a análise da materialidade construtiva histórica, aliada a um acelerado desenvolvimento imobiliário, ampliou o desaparecimento de parte do testemunho do hibridismo cultural do que hoje chamamos Brasil. O objetivo principal do presente artigo é demonstrar o processo de elaboração das oficinas que resultou num desenho metodológico para sanar as lacunas da atividade arqueológica brasileira no restauro da edificação histórica. Após análise das limitações das abordagens da arqueologia da arquitetura (AA) para pensar as edificações locais, aplicamos “metodologias ativas de ensino” para alunos de graduação em arqueologia e arquitetura, da Universidade Federal de Sergipe. Os resultados das intervenções nas ruínas da “Casa n. 3” em Laranjeiras demonstram que a aplicação da AA em contexto brasileiro requer adaptações, mas ainda se constitui em um eficiente instrumento para identificação e valorização da arquitetura histórica em processos de desaparecimento.

Quale patto per la scienza? Etica, sanità pubblica e comunicazione con i cittadini
Authors: Cattorini Paolo Marino
Published: December 2020

I dilemmi etici relativi alle vaccinazioni e, più latamente, alla sanità pubblica non riguardano solo le tattiche comunicative tra operatori sanitari e cittadini, ma il più generale patto d’alleanza sancito tra scienza, politica e società, in merito alle priorità allocative e ai criteri decisionali. Quando un’agenzia scientifica espone pubblicamente la propria mission, dovrebbe chiarire: i) le ragioni dell’autonomia della scienza e gli ambiti in cui è invece necessaria una valutazione da parte di un comitato d’etica; ii) gli scopi della medicina, nel cui dominio vengono applicate le nuove scoperte di base; iii) i motivi della difficoltà comunicative tra scienza e società, difficoltà che vanno in parallelo a quelle riscontrate nella medicina clinica

Authors: Refolo Pietro , Sacchini Dario , Spagnolo Antonio G.
Published: December 2020

Tra i temi più discussi durante l’emergenza pandemica da Sars-CoV-2 c’è quello che riguarda l’accesso (o l’eventuale sospensione) a trattamenti intensivi (specificatamente i supporti ventilatori), nel caso di forte squilibrio tra necessità cliniche e risorse disponibili. Particolare clamore ha suscitato in Italia la pubblicazione il 6 marzo 2020, dunque in una delle fasi più gravi dell’emergenza, del documento Raccomandazioni di etica clinica per l’ammissione a trattamenti intensivi e per la loro sospensione, in condizioni eccezionali di squilibrio tra necessità e risorse disponibili ad opera della Società Italiana di Anestesia Analgesia Rianimazione e Terapia Intensiva (SIAARTI), per aver prospettato la possibilità di utilizzare l’età come criterio di accesso ai supporti ventilatori. Obiettivo del presente contributo è discutere l’impostazione teorica di fondo che SIAARTI ha adottato, e il criterio specifico che ha proposto per stabilire la priorità di trattamento dei pazienti intensivi nel contesto dell’emergenza. A ciò farà seguito un breve approfondimento della questione in chiave egualitarista.

Published: December 2020

Purpose:

The objective of this study was to identify and validate smartphone-based visual acuity (VA) apps that can be used in a teleophthalmology portal.

Methods:

The study was conducted in three phases: A survey to investigate if the SmartOptometry App was easy to download, understand and test (phase I), an in-clinic comparison of VA measured in a random testing order with four tools namely COMPlog, Reduced Snellen near vision, Peek Acuity (Distance VA) and SmartOptometry (Near VA) (phase II) and a repeatability study on these 4 tools by measuring VA again (phase III). The study recruited the employees of our institute and adhered to the strict COVID-19 protocols of testing.

Results:

Phase I Survey (n = 40) showed 90% of participants used android phones, 60% reported that instructions were clear, and all users were able to self-assess their near VA with SmartOptometry App. Phase II (n = 68) revealed that Peek Acuity was comparable to COMPlog VA (P = 0.31), however SmartOptometry was statistically significantly different (within 2 log MAR lines) from Reduced Snellen near vision test, particularly for young (n = 44, P = 0.004) and emmetropic (n = 16, P = 0.04) participants. All the 4 tests were found to be repeatable in phase III (n = 10) with a coefficient of repeatability ≤0.14.

Conclusion:

Smartphone-based apps were easy to download and can be used for checking patient's distance and near visual acuity. An effect of age and refractive error should be considered when interpreting the results. Further studies with real-time patients are required to identify potential benefits and challenges to solve.
Long Latency Reflexes in Patients with Postural Instability and Ataxia
Authors: Deneri Ersin , Tilek Nesibe , Çoban Aysel , Tataroğlu Cengiz
Published: December 2020

Objectives:

Distal electrical stimulation of an upper extremity mixed nerve can generate a reflex response from the trapezius muscle. This reflex response may have a central neural pathway and can be affected by postural changes. Materials and Methods: In this study, long latency reflexes (LLRs) from both distal and trapezius muscle were evaluated in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) with and without postural dysfunction and in patients with cerebellar ataxias. Thirty-three patients with PD, 10 patients with degenerative cerebellar ataxia and 22 healthy volunteers were included in the study. LLRs were recorded from ipsilateral thenar and trapezius muscles. Latencies and amplitudes of LLRs obtained from thenar (thenar LLR) and trapezius (trapezius LLR) muscles were analyzed. Results: In patients with PD, thenar LLRs showed significant shortening in the onset latencies and significant increase in the amplitudes in comparison with healthy controls. Trapezius LLRs did not show any significant difference in latencies or amplitudes; however, these responses showed a significant absence in one or two components in patients with Parkinson's disease with postural dysfunction. Additionally, this reflex was not recorded in patients with cerebellar ataxia.

Conclusion:

Trapezius LLRs can give some information regarding the physiology of neural circuits responsible for postural arrangement. Cerebellar connections may have a major role in the generation of trapezius LLRs.
Trigeminal Trophic Syndrome and Neurotrophic Keratopathy following Stroke
Authors: Güngör-Doğan Ipek , Sarıkaya-Solak Sezgi
Published: December 2020

Neurotrophic ulceration of the face and cornea are rare complications of trigeminal nerve damage. Their rarity makes them potentially underreported and misdiagnosed conditions. The neurogenic basis and self-manipulating nature of facial ulceration also require a rapid diagnosis to provide a rare syndrome-specific approach. Pain management for paresthesias and educating patients about their self-manipulating behaviors are key management strategies for successful treatment and improved outcomes under the multidisciplinary approach.

Purpose This study aimed to analyze whether patients with lung cancer have a higher susceptibility of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), severe presentation, and higher mortality than those without lung cancer.Materials and Methods A nationwide cohort of confirmed COVID-19 (n=8,070) between January 1, 2020, and May 30, 2020, and a 1:15 age-, sex-, and residence-matched cohort (n=121,050) were constructed. A nested case-control study was performed to compare the proportion of patients with lung cancer between the COVID-19 cohort and the matched cohort.Results The proportion of patients with lung cancer was significantly higher in the COVID-19 cohort (0.5% [37/8,070]) than in the matched cohort (0.3% [325/121,050]) (p=0.002). The adjusted odds ratio [OR] of having lung cancer was significantly higher in the COVID-19 cohort than in the matched cohort (adjusted OR, 1.51; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.05 to 2.10). Among patients in the COVID-19 cohort, compared to patients without lung cancer, those with lung cancer were more likely to have severe COVID-19 (54.1% vs. 13.2%, p < 0.001), including mortality (18.9% vs. 2.8%, p < 0.001). The adjusted OR for the occurrence of severe COVID-19 in patients with lung cancer relative to those without lung cancer was 2.24 (95% CI, 1.08 to 4.74).Conclusion The risk of COVID-19 occurrence and severe presentation, including mortality, may be higher in patients with lung cancer than in those without lung cancer.

Purpose Excessive alcohol consumption has been linked to an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). We evaluated the association between alcohol-related genetic variants and CRC risk.Materials and Methods The study cohort consisted of 5,435 CRC cases and 3,553 population-based cancer-free controls. Genotype data were generated from germline DNA using the Infinium OncoArray-500K BeadChip in 2,535 cases and 2,287 controls and the Infinium Multi-Ethnic Global BeadChip in 2,900 cases and 1,266 controls. The associations between aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) rs671 and alcohol dehydrogenase 1B (ADH1B) rs1229984 polymorphisms and CRC risk were assessed using multivariate logistic regression analyses.Results Compared with the major homozygous ALDH2 genotype (GG), heterozygous or minor homozygous ALDH2 genotype (GA or AA, related to a low alcohol consumption) was significantly associated with a reduced risk for CRC in men (odds ratio [OR], 0.78; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.68 to 0.90), but not in women (OR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.47 to 1.05). A stronger association was found among regular drinkers (OR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.47 to 0.71 in men and OR, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.18 to 0.58 in women). No association of CRC risk with ADH1B rs1229984 genotype was found. The association between alcohol-related combined genotypes and risk of CRC was significant (p for linear=0.001). The combined genotype with the highest genetically predicted alcohol consumption (ALDH2 rs671 GG and ADH1B rs1229984 AG/GG) was associated with a high risk for CRC (OR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.11 to 1.63).Conclusion Our study provides strong evidence for a possible causal association between alcohol consumption and CRC risk.

Published: December 2020

OBJECTIVES: Recent evidence has shown no harm associated with the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We sought to further clarify the possible association between ACEI/ARB use and the risk of poor clinical outcomes of COVID-19.METHODS: From the completely enumerated COVID-19 cohort in Korea, we identified 1,290 patients with hypertension, of whom 682 had and 603 did not have records of ACEI/ARB use during the 30-day period before their COVID-19 diagnosis. Our primary endpoint comprised clinical outcomes, including all-cause mortality, use of mechanical ventilation, intensive care unit admission, and sepsis. We used inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) to mitigate selection bias, and a Poisson regression model to estimate the relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for comparing outcomes between ACEI/ARB users and non-users.RESULTS: Compared to non-use, ACEI/ARB use was associated with lower clinical outcomes (IPTW-adjusted RR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.42 to 0.85; p=0.005). For individual outcomes, ACEI/ARB use was not associated with all-cause mortality (IPTW-adjusted RR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.35 to 1.09; p=0.097) or respiratory events (IPTW-adjusted RR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.84 to 1.17; p=0.904). Subgroup analysis showed a trend toward a protective role of ACEIs and ARBs against overall outcomes in men (IPTW-adjusted RR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.69 to 1.03; pinteraction=0.008) and patients with pre-existing respiratory disease (IPTW-adjusted RR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.60 to 0.92; pinteraction=0.002).CONCLUSIONS: We present clinical evidence to support continuing ACE/ARB use in COVID-19 patients with hypertension based on the completely enumerated Korean cohort.

Authors: Yim Hyung Eun , Han Kyung Do , Kim Bongseong , Yoo Kee Hwan
Published: December 2020

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to evaluate the association between early-life weight status and urinary tract infection (UTI) risk in children.METHODS: A nationwide study was conducted using Korean National Health Screening (NHS) data and National Health Insurance Service data. A sample cohort was selected using data from the 2014 and 2015 NHS for infants and children (4-71 months) and followed up until the end of 2017. Participants were divided into 4 groups (underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese) based on the weight-for-age (< 2 years) or body mass index (≥ 2 years). Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for developing UTIs, cystitis, and acute pyelonephritis (APN) were calculated using a Cox proportional hazard model.RESULTS: Of 1,653,106 enrolled children, 120,142 (7.3%) developed UTIs, cystitis, and APN during follow-up. The underweight, overweight, and obese groups had higher risks of UTIs than the reference group after adjusting for age, sex, birth weight, and preterm birth. Between 2 years and 6 years of age, boys with underweight had a high risk of UTI and APN, while girls with overweight and obesity revealed elevated risks of UTIs, cystitis, and APN. The HRs for APN in boys with underweight and in girls with obesity were 1.46 (95% CI, 1.03 to 2.07) and 1.41 (95% CI, 1.13 to 1.75), respectively, after adjusting for age, sex, birth weight, and preterm birth. The incidence of APN did not decrease with age in underweight and obese children aged 2-6 years.CONCLUSIONS: Children with underweight, overweight, and obesity may be at high risk for UTIs.

Bogata zbirka zanimivih vzhodnoazijskih predmetov, ki jih hrani Pokrajinski muzej Celje, se med drugim ponaša tudi z velikim in impresivnim bronastim kadilnikom v obliki slona, ​​ki na hrbtu nosi dvonadstropno pagodo. Ta predstavlja izrazito kitajski in simbolno močan motiv taiping youxiang 太平有象, a že malo natančnejši pogled razkrije, da je kadilnik (kōro 香炉 v japonščini in xianglu 香爐 v kitajščini) nemara delo umetnika, ki je ustvarjal v obdobju Meiji (1868–1912) na Japonskem. Kljub temu je točen kraj in datum nastanka težko z gotovostjo potrditi, saj je bil umetnikov pečat na dnu kadilnika v preteklosti odstranjen. Še več vprašanj se odpira spričo prisotnosti bronastega kadilnika kōro na območju današnje Slovenije in njegove vloge v novem okolju. Kdo je bil njegov zadnji lastnik? Kdo je odstranil podpis delavnice, in kar je morda še pomembnejše, zakaj? Odgovori na ta vprašanja nam ne bi zgolj pomagali osvetliti zgodbe v ozadju te posebne umetnine, pač pa bi veliko razkrili tudi o estetskih idealih in umetniškem okusu premožnejšega meščanskega sloja na Kitajskem in Japonskem ter zbirateljskih trendih v Evropi, predvsem pa o naravi kulturnih izmenjav med vzhodnoazijskim prostorom ter perifernimi regijami Vzhodne in Jugovzhodne Evrope v poznem 19. in v začetku 20. stoletja.

Authors: Kraner Kaja
Published: December 2020

Zbiranje in druge vrste rab zgodovinskih dokumentov so v sodobni vizualni umetnosti sorazmerno pogosto zastopani ustvarjalni pristop, ki ga je mogoče na najbolj splošni ravni opredeliti na podlagi pozicioniranja umetnikov kot zbirateljev, arhivistov in/ali kuratorjev. Članek se osredotoča na libanonsko-ameriškega umetnika Walida Raada, pri čemer analizira različne vrste rab zbirk, arhivov in/ali dokumentov v njegovi umetniški praksi. Na podlagi primerjave dveh Raadovih umetniških projektov članek rekonstruira njegov splošni pristop do zgodovinskih naracij v okviru imaginarne organizacije in kolektiva The Atlas Group. Na tej podlagi pokaže, da bi Raadove rabe zgodovinskih dokumentov lahko razumeli kot raziskovanje epistemoloških in infrastrukturnih pogojev možnosti uveljavljenih načinov zbiranja, arhiviranja in zgodovinjenja, ki so imanentni splošni dispoziciji zahodne moderne vednosti.
Zbirateljstvo vzhodnoazijske keramike na Slovenskem v 19. stoletju
Authors: Berdajs Tina
Published: December 2020

Prispevek predstavlja pregled znanih lastnikov vzhodnoazijske keramike, posebno porcelana, v Sloveniji v 19. stoletju – natančneje od odprtja Regionalnega muzeja za Kranjsko (kasneje Narodnega muzeja Slovenije) leta 1821 do velikega potresa v Ljubljani leta 1895. Slovenski lastniki porcelana, ali 'navdušenci', ki so predstavljeni v raziskavi, so osebe slovenskih korenin, za katere lahko na podlagi zanesljivih virov potrdimo, da so v svoji lasti imeli keramične ali porcelanaste predmete vzhodnoazijskega izvora ter jih kasneje darovali Deželnem muzeju za Kranjsko. Z vključitvijo analize zbirke Narodnega muzeja in analizo primarnih virov, kot so publikacije, inventarji in slikovno gradivo, raziskujem, kaj nam posamezni predmeti povedo o lastnikih in kako nam lahko pomagajo pri rekonstrukciji zbirateljstva keramike in porcelana vzhodnoazijskega izvora v slovenski zgodovini.

Prispevek obravnava naravo potovanja, motive, interesna področja, zbiralno politiko oziroma zbiralne strategije in zbirko ter cilje Alme M. Karlin (12. 10. 1889–14. 1. 1950), pisateljice in novinarke, svetovne popotnice, ljubiteljske raziskovalke, poliglotke in teozofinje. V letih 1919–1927 je prepotovala svet. Narava njenega potovanja jo umešča med največje popotnike vseh časov; potovala je sama, neprekinjeno osem let in se po poti preživljala s sprotnim delom. Kljub temu da je zbiranje predmetov načrtovala že pred odhodom na pot, to zaradi nepričakovanega spleta okoliščin v glavnem ni potekalo sistematično, ampak naključno. Predmete za svojo zbirko je pridobivala na tri načine: z nakupi, kot darila in z nabiranjem v naravi. Rezultat takšnega zbiranja se odraža v raznorodnosti zbirke. Poleg produkcije nove vednosti je Alma M. Karlin imela tudi gospodarske in politične cilje.
Pahljače kot zbirateljski predmeti v vzhodnoazijskih zbirkah v Sloveniji
Authors: Visočnik Gerželj Nataša
Published: December 2020

Prispevek predstavlja in raziskuje vlogo pahljač kot zbirateljskega predmeta, pri čemer se še posebej osredotoča na vzhodnoazijske pahljače v slovenskih muzejih v okviru raziskovanja vzhodnoazijskih zbirk. Pahljačo v mnogih kulturah skozi dolgo zgodovino spoznamo kot predmet z zelo raznovrstno uporabnostjo, saj združuje praktične, obredne in estetske funkcije. Tako poleg praktične uporabnosti za hlajenje v vročih dneh svojo pomembno vlogo izkazuje tudi v družbenem življenju na številnih področjih. Pahljača je tudi zelo hvaležen predmet za zbiranje zaradi svoje velikosti, izdelave in poslikave, pripisujemo pa ji tudi lahko visoke estetske vrednosti. V tem prispevku nas tako najprej zanima vrednotenje pahljač kot zbirateljskega predmeta, nato preučimo pot pahljač iz Azije in uvrstitev azijskih pahljač v strokovni prostor zbirateljev in akademske sfere, zaključimo pa s pregledno analizo pahljač v treh neevropskih zbirkah predmetov v slovenskih muzejih. Iz pregleda pahljač ugotovimo, da se v zbirkah nahajajo zelo raznolike pahljače iz kitajskega, japonskega in korejskega prostora, med katerimi pa je nekaj zelo redkih pahljač tudi na svetovni ravni, s čimer lahko uvrstimo zbirke med izredno pomembne v slovenskem prostoru.

Published: December 2020

Satellite navigation and communications system can substantially be disturbed by ionospheric perturbations. Consequently, monitoring ionospheric anomalous has great significance. In this study, we focus on the short-term irregular disturbances through a strong thunderstorm in Wuhan City, Hubei, China by using ground-based GNSS observations from dense Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) with a sampling rate of 1s. The total electron content (TEC) was used to find possible perturbations after biases have been calibrated for the derived TEC. Additionally, the geomagnetic conditions and the state of solar radiation was checked in the study period to recognize the causes for the ionospheric disturbances. The maxima and minima values of TEC deviations were ~2.5 and 0.5 TECU, respectively. Three methods of Detrended Fluctuations Analysis (DFA) were applied to assess the ionospheric disturbances over GNSS CORS stations; “Multi-step numerical difference”(MSND), “6th order polynomials fitting” (PF), and “one-week average difference”(AD). The analyzed results showed that MSND has the lowest performance. Meanwhile, the fitted TEC data with 6th order polynomials technique presented an improvement and a discrepancy related to MSND. To resolve this discrepancy, we proposed AD technique, it accomplished the best performance related to the TEC disturbances and was compared with the other two techniques. The research findings showed that ionospheric disturbed electrons can be generated with various rates and different velocities through lightning influences.
The effect of Fe on crystal structure and elasticity superhydous Phase H under high pressure by First-principles calculations
Authors: Liu Lei , Yang Longxing , Yang Guangshu , Yi Li , Liu Hong , Gu Xiaoyu , Wang Hanyu , Zhuang Chunqiang
Published: December 2020

Being one of the potentially important hydrous phases of the lower mantle, it is important to study the properties of phase H to understand the structure and composition of the mantle. The crystal structure, elastic modulus, and seismic wave velocity of phase H under different Fe concentrations (0, 12.5, 25, 100 at%) at 16–60 GPa were calculated by the first-principles simulation. The density of phase H linearly increases with increasing Fe concentration. The iron concentrations of 35.5–84.3 at% lead to densities matching the mantle density profile at different depths of the Earth. The effects of Fe on different elastic constants show varying tendencies. The K value increases with the Fe concentration, while the G value decreases. The values for Vp and Vs increase almost linearly with the rise in pressure. The Vp and Vs values decrease with increasing Fe content. The wave velocities of the pure-Mg phase H and Fe-bearing phase H are close to the typical velocity of the Earth at 500–1400 km depth. The FeOOH-AlOOH-MgSiH2O4-FeSiH2O4 system may be responsible for the observed seismic properties of LLSVP in the Earth’s lower mantle. The quantitative effect of Fe on the density, elastic moduli (K and G), and wave velocities (Vp and Vs) are listed as fitted equations. These results help to infer the Fe concentration and structure of the deep Earth.
Application of an ensemble earthquake rate model in Italy, considering seismic catalogs and fault moment release

Published: December 2020

We develop an ensemble earthquake rate model that provides spatially variable time-independent (Poisson) long-term annual occurrence rates of seismic events throughout Italy, for magnitude bin of 0.1 units from Mw ≥ 4.5 in spatial cells of 0.1° × 0.1°. We weighed seismic activity rates of smoothed seismicity and fault-based inputs to build our earthquake rupture forecast model, merging it into a single ensemble model. Both inputs adopt a tapered Gutenberg-Richter relation with a single b-value and a single corner magnitude estimated by earthquakes catalog. The spatial smoothed seismicity was obtained using the classical kernel smoothing method with the inclusion of magnitude dependent completeness periods applied to the Historical (CPTI15) and Instrumental seismic catalogs. For each seismogenic source provided by the Database of the Individual Seismogenic Sources (DISS), we computed the annual rate of the events above Mw 4.5, assuming that the seismic moments of the earthquakes generated by each fault are distributed according to the tapered Gutenberg-Richter relation with the same parameters of the smoothed seismicity models. Comparing seismic annual rates of the catalogs with those of the seismogenic sources, we realized that there is a good agreement between these rates in Central Apennines zones, whereas the seismogenic rates are higher than those of the catalogs in the north east and south of Italy. We also tested our model against the strong Italian earthquakes (Mw 5.5+), in order to check if the total number (N-test) and the spatial distribution (S-test) of these events was compatible with our model, obtaining good results, i.e. high p-values in the test. The final model will be a branch of the new Italian seismic hazard map.

Published: December 2020

Study of Moho in Middle East and surrounding region is of great importance for geoscientists. The area contains parts of the Eurasian, Indian, African and Arabian plates as well as active tectonic structures which made it rich in geodynamic and tectonic interests. In this study we investigated Moho relief in the Middle East region using gravity and seismic data. Regarding the extent of the study area, spherical prism (tesseroid) modeling is used to calculate the gravity effect of the topography and crustal anomalies. Determining of Moho depth from gravity data is a nonlinear inverse problem. We inverted the gravity data using Uieda’s inversion method where the process was constrained by the available seismic data over the study region. The effect of topography and crustal sediments were excluded using global topography and crustal models. The resulting Moho relief is in accordance with plate boundaries and correlates well with the prominent tectonic features of the Middle East region. According to the results, the thinnest part of the crust found to be about 12 km in the Indian Ocean and the thickest part appeared in the west of Tibetan plateau with depths of about 54 km. In some parts of the study area discrepancies were seen between our results and Moho depths from seismological studies these differences are most probably caused by different approaches used in the different studies. Since we imposed smoothness by regularization on estimated Moho map, this can also be additional source of the discrepancies.

Authors: THANH NGUYEN VIET
Published: December 2020

Managing business relationships between the parties in construction supply chains (CSCs) is the essential element of construction supply chain management (CSCM). Therefore, in order to have success in the CSCM, the relationships between the parties should be noticed. This study aims to identify and discover important factors affecting supply chain relationships in construction. The study identified 12 key factors affecting the supply chain relationships in construction and ranked them according to their degrees of impact. The findings showed that “working relationship”, “top management support”, “trust”, “business attitude”, and “communication” are the five most influential factors. The study can be considered as valuable additional contribution to the body of knowledge relating to the CSCM. The findings could help practitioners to have an insight into the CSCM and obtain success in managing the CSCs.

Authors: MAI DO QUYEN VO
Published: December 2020

This study investigated the relationship between intrinsic motivation and the final exam results of students of English subject at Industrial University of Ho Chi Minh City (IUH). Respondents in the study were 200 students (N= 200) who study at the Faculty of Technology, and Economics. They were selected through random sampling from a total population of 1500 students at IUH. A survey questionnaire composed of 11 questions were used to gather data. The questionnaires were sent to 200 respondents who in turn answered and returned, yielding at 100 % response rate. The collected data were analyzed by using the following statistical tests on (SPSS: Statistical Product and Services Solutions): The one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and T- test for paired samples [1], [2]. The results showed that there were no significant differences between intrinsic motivation and demographic variables, and no significant differences were found on students‘ intrinsic motivation and overall motivation. At the end of this study, some recommendations and suggestions for further studies were stated.
The Bath Philosophical Society and its influence on William Herschel’s Career
Authors: Ring Francis
Published: December 2020

At a time when eighteenth-century Bath was rapidly expanding, new buildings and an influx of people made it one of the most popular places outside London. The city became a centre for fashion, music, learning, and architecture on a new scale. It became a centre also for discussion on current affairs, since newspapers were not freely available. Some were fascinated by science though few had a chance to study the new interests of the time. There were travelling teachers who made money by going around the country to give illustrated talks on scientific subjects. It is said that the private hiring of such people was an influential and entertaining way of reaching your friends and contacts. One such was Dr Desagulier, who ran a course on Experimental Philosophy in Bath. His course included optics and he used a Planetarium to demonstrate the motions of the heavenly bodies
Guidelines for a Social History of Astronomy
Authors: Polcaro V. F. , Martocchia A.
Published: December 2020

An analysis of the basic cultural, historical and social elements which allowed the re-discovery and transfer of astronomical knowledge from the earlier Middle Ages up to the birth of modern astronomy, is presented in the new book Storia sociale dell’Astronomia. The book describes the main factors which played a role in suppressing or re-awakening interest in astronomical observations and events down the centuries. Among such elements we include: the loss of Greek-language-based knowledge as a vector of scientific knowledge; Christian and Islamic conceptions of Astrology; religious practices connected with observations; the birth of universities; the Protestant paradigm and humanism; the evolution of the social figure of the scientist in the West, from monks to aristocrats, and from Renaissance lords to bourgeois entrepreneurs. We focus attention on the social phenomena which caused the development of Astronomy as a science from the Middle Ages to the Copernican revolution, and claim that the ruling class’s attitude towards science is not only a matter for historical studies, but has much to do with the modern impoverishment and stagnation of Astronomy.

Depicting the Heavens: The Use of Astrology in the Frescoes of Renaissance Rome
Authors: Urban Emily
Published: December 2020

This paper explores the use of astrological imagery in four ceiling frescoes painted during the Renaissance in Rome: the scenes of the Sala di Galatea in the Villa Farnesina, and those of the Stanza della Segnatura, the Sala dei Pontefici, and the Sala Bologna, all within the Vatican Palace. Significantly this imagery was not confined to the pages of private manuscripts as it had been in the Middle Ages, but took the form of frescoes on the walls and ceilings of public rooms, allowing viewers to bask in the celestial glory of the patron. Commissioned in 1575 by Pope Gregory XIII, I argue that the Sala Bologna imagery represents a critical juncture in attitudes toward natural philosophy, and demonstrates a shift from astrological interpretation, as condemned at the Council of Trent, to astronomical calculation, as promoted by the Catholic Church. I argue that the placement of these murals demonstrates that this type of pictorial aggrandizement was intended to reach a wide audience and was used by the patron, popes being the most prominent among these, as a form of visual self-promotion. I also examine how contemporaneous events - notably the Protestant Reformation and the Council of Trent - affected astrological practice and the monumental display of these horoscopes. Astrological imagery is not limited to Rome, but the four examples I discuss represent the peak of such decoration and offer insight into a widespread feature of early modern Italian culture that has yet to be adequately explored.
Nebulae (emission / absorption)
Authors: Wrenn Courtney
Published: December 2020

My presentation consists of a collage on panel. Using colour laser copies of nebulae, the dual composition recombines torn pieces of several nebular images. Optically entangled from light colour patterns, the focus of each nebula resembles the opposing behaviour of absorption and emission nebula. The collages include false colour composite astronomical images to extend the visualization beyond the limits of the human eye. The subtleties of infrared and x-ray interpreted light appear to observe extra-dimensions that we intellectually understand. The layered torn paper creates forms for visual experience/contemplation. The pseudonym, scrapworm, names the allegory of my creative process. This identity is a human perspective on witnessing the passage of time and figuratively identifies with more subtle entanglements of living systems dynamics. I have recently been working with astronomical data acquired by space telescopes in my fine art collage work. The nebulae collages seek to create discourse on the time-bending implied by transmitting optical data through deep space (as related to the limit the of speed of light as well as emerging paradigms on the electric universe, quantum dynamics, and null physics).
Molecular Delirium
Authors: Cogswell Jim
Published: December 2020

In 2009 I completed a mural-scaled painting under the spell of the recent INSAP conference in Venice and a visit to the mosaics of Ravenna. Molecular Delirium responds to an array of scientific images based on astronomical research, in particular, computer models of the complex physics controlling star formation in our galaxy. My paper briefly examines these influences. Also, fundamental to this artwork are the perceptual and philosophical implications of artistically imaging the fragmentary and incomplete, sensations of energy in continuous transformation, and the anxiety and exhilaration of perpetual genesis through which we glimpse the unfathomable infinite.
IMPLEMENTASI PENDIDIKAN AGAMA KRISTEN DALAM KELUARGA MELALUI GEREJA
Authors: Saba Elena , Tari Ezra , Rita
Published: December 2020

Peran gereja menerapkan pendidikan agama Kristen masih sangat kurang karena ada kebencian dalam keluarga. Tujuan penelitian ini yakni berusaha  menumbuhkan perhatian, motivasi dan sikap untuk memperbaiki hubungan antar manusia; serta menajamkan kembali perasaan untuk saling mengasihi dan mempedulikan. Subyek penelitian adalah Jemaat Talenalain rayon 5, Gereja Masehi Injili di Timor (GMIT). Metode yang dipakai adalah kualitatif. Data diambil dengan teknik wawacara dan hasilnya dipaparkan dalam bentuk narasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa orang tua menyadari bahwa PAK adalah pembelajaran paling penting dalam keluarga. Gereja belum maksimal menjadi wadah belajar bersama yang melahirkan keluarga yang berwatak kristiani. Pendidikan Agama Kristen masih sebatas ibadah bersama, perayaan hari raya gereja, mengajar melalui partisipasi keluarga dalam persekutuan, mengajar melalui pastoral-pastoral kepada keluarga Kristen.
