Authors: Suryaningsih Endang Koni , Wu Shiang-Feng , Yan Xuan-Yi , Lin Hung-Ru
Published: April 2019

During pregnancy, the mother may have a different experience based on many factors. The purpose of this study was to explore the experience of pregnant women in Indonesia. Some studies establish to explore experience during pregnancy in a particular area. However, limit number study underlined the experience in the general area. A descriptive phenomenological study was used to explore the experience of pregnant women during pregnancy. Purposive sampling, one-on-one, in-depth with semi-structural interviews were conducted to collect data. Narratives were analyzed by Colaizziâ€™s (1978) seven-step method. Data saturation was achieved after interviewing 3 pregnant women. Four themes and the sub-themes were : having feelings (happy for pregnancy coming true and worry about cannot have vaginal delivery), changes in physical condition (evening sickness, appetite changes, difficult sleep, and eating pattern have to change), deal with pregnant physical condition (lying down when vomiting and changing the meals time), ensure pregnancy safety (seeking help from husband, continuous monitoring of fetal headâ€™s position, pay attention to changes in body weight, and pay attention to the data of hemoglobin). This finding presents the evidence for midwives to the importance of understanding the feeling and experience of the mother during pregnancy. Support and attention consider important for mother who experiences CS history and Placenta Previa in the current pregnancy.

Authors: Prihatiningsih Dwi , Hutton Alison
Published: April 2019

Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. In spite of the advance of many other diagnostic techniques of biomarkers and imaging, the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) remains the gold standard for early identification and management of ACS. The aim of this study was to determine the HCPs interpretation skills on 12 lead ECG especially in Myocardial Infarction cases. Primary research of ECG interpretation skill of HCPs and related factors were identiï¬ed by searching electronic databases and bibliographies. Sixteen articles were identified based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Variations were found on ECG interpretations among HCPs. Moreover it was found that training, experience & seniority and AMI mimicking pattern influence ECG interpretation skills among HCPs and decision making for thrombolytic therapy.

Елементи наукової новизни. Невеликі камені (пісок) у корів виявлені  в  ниркових чашечках.

Практична значущість. З’ясування ролі екологічних та аліментарних факторів у розвитку ниркових каменів у корів заслуговують на увагу.

The purpose of the article is to highlight data on bovine nephrolithiasis disease in Poltava region, taking into account the available information on spreading of this pathology.

Research methods. In the process of work we conducted veterinary-sanitary expert examination of the internal organs (kidneys) of cattle at slaughtering, organoleptically detected nephroliths and determined their parameters.

Research results.  The results of the conducted veterinary-sanitary expert examination revealed stones in the kidneys in five animals, which was about 2.1 % of the total number of slaughtered animals.

Uroliths were localized, mainly in the ureter, and less frequently in the calix renalis.

Kidney stones were of different sizes from 1 to 14 mm, in some cases, very small stones in the form of sand grains, the so-called renal sand.

At the same time, uroliths differed in shape. The some stones were large and solid, others were small and sandy. Externally, they had a smooth or rough (thorny) surface. The color varied from light gray to yellow-gray. The weight of uroliths varied from 2.1 mg (the smallest stones) to 0.98 g (the largest stones). Not rarely, during examining the kidneys, isolated cysts of different sizes were detected, which were filled with light-serous fluid.

The analysis of calculus showed its mixed composition (calcium oxalate, magnesium phosphate, calcium phosphate and ammonium urate), which is similar to the results of other researchers and it is coordinated with the hypothesis of the diversity of uroliths’ composition in cattle.

The elements of scientific novelty. Small stones (sand) are found in the calix renalis of cows.

Practical significance. Clarifying the role of ecological and alimentary factors in the development of kidney stones in cows deserves attention.

Framework for Selecting and Benchmarking Mobile Devices in Psychophysiological Research
Authors: Kleckner Ian R , Feldman Mallory , Goodwin Matthew , Quigley Karen S.
Published: April 2019

Commercially available consumer electronics (smartwatches and wearable biosensors) are increasingly enabling acquisition of peripheral physiological and physical activity data inside and outside of laboratory settings. However, there is scant literature available for selecting and assessing the suitability of these novel devices for scientific use. To overcome this limitation, the current paper offers a framework to aid researchers in choosing and evaluating wearable technologies for use in empirical research. Our seven-step framework includes: (1) identifying signals of interest; (2) characterizing intended use cases; (3) identifying study-specific pragmatic needs; (4) selecting devices for evaluation; (5) establishing an assessment procedure; (6) performing qualitative and quantitative analyses on resulting data; and, if desired, (7) conducting power analyses to determine sample size needed to more rigorously compare performance across devices. We illustrate the application of the framework by comparing electrodermal, cardiovascular, and accelerometry data from a variety of commercial wireless sensors (Affectiva Q, Empatica E3, Empatica E4, Actiwave Cardio, Shimmer) relative to a well-validated, wired Mindware laboratory system. Our evaluations are performed in two studies (N=10, N=11) involving psychometrically sound, standardized tasks that include physical activity and affect induction. After applying our framework to this data, we conclude that only some commercially available consumer devices for physiological measurement are capable of wirelessly measuring peripheral physiological and physical activity data of sufficient quality for scientific use cases. Thus, the framework appears to be beneficial at suggesting steps for conducting more systematic, transparent, and rigorous evaluations of mobile physiological devices prior to deployment in studies.
Conceptualizing and Testing a New Tripartite Measure of Coach Interpersonal Behaviors
Authors: Bhavsar Nikita , Ntoumanis Nikos , Quested Eleanor , Gucciardi Daniel , Thøgersen-Ntoumani Cecilie , Ryan Richard , Reeve Johnmarshall , Sarrazin Philippe , Bartholomew Kimberley
Published: April 2019

ObjectivesVarious self-report measures based on Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985; Ryan & Deci, 2017) have been developed to assess athletes’ perceptions of their coaches’ need supportive and thwarting behaviors. We propose that it is also conceptually important to distinguish between coaching behaviors that thwart and those that are indifferent to athletes’ psychological needs. This distinction is useful, as we contend that athletes’ degree of need frustration, and concomitant negative outcomes, are likely to be more pronounced in a coaching environment that actively thwarts (vs. is indifferent to) athletes’ needs. In this three-study paper, we outline the conceptual rationale for, the development of, and initial validity evidence for a tripartite (need supportive, thwarting, and indifferent) measure of interpersonal behaviors of coaches (TMIB-C).MethodIn Study 1, we developed 54 candidate items and gathered evidence for their face and content validity with athletes and an expert panel. Competing factor models were tested in Study 2 to determine the best representation of the measure’s factor structure. In Study 3, we tested the replication of such models and the nomological network surrounding the identified factors.ResultsIn Study 2, a 22-item, three-factor structure (supportive, thwarting, and indifferent behaviors) using exploratory structural equation modeling, demonstrated acceptable fit, good standardized factor loadings, factor correlations in the expected directions, and acceptable estimates of internal consistency. This model was replicated in Study 3. Tests of nomological networks showed that as expected, need indifference was a weaker predictor of autonomy and competence need frustration as compared to need thwarting, and the only significant predictor of irrelevant thoughts. Unexpectedly, however, need indifference was also as good as, or a better predictor than need thwarting was of exhaustion and relatedness need frustration, respectively.ConclusionsEvidence supports the TMIB-C as a parsimonious and promising measure of athletes’ perceptions of coach interpersonal behaviors. Our tripartite conceptualization and measure should be further tested in terms of its predictive utility in order to advance conceptual understanding and intervention efforts targeting interpersonal behaviors in sport, and potentially other life domains.
The Impact of Non-Western Participants at Vatican ii
Authors: Stackaruk Chris
Published: April 2019

In a way, this article is about a dialectical interaction between religious politics and political religion through an examination of a turn of events during Vatican Council ii. It shows the impact made by global Catholicism on the council and the production of what is now a benchmark document, Nostre Aetate. It provided an impetus for liturgical reforms and developments in the Church’s social teachings that made room for non-European cultures, or the ‘other,’ thereby making the Church truly global for the first time. This has its origin with a small minority of participants, those outside the Eurocentric zone, at the Council. This article demonstrates that the minority exerted considerable influence in producing the aforementioned document. Their influence widened the scope of discussions and later engagement of the Church, transforming the scope of the Nostra Aetate from solely Judaism to all non-Christian religions. This article traces the handful of participants and pivotal events that brought the largest Christian Church into a dialectical dialogue with non-Christian religions and examines their significance in a global context.
From Musicology to Novel: Reassessing Robertson Davies’s Literary Representation of Peter Warlock
Authors: Allis Michael
Published: April 2019

This article reconsiders the literary refiguring of the British composer Peter Warlock as the character Giles Revelstoke in Robertson Davies’s 1958 novel A Mixture of Frailties. Although several Davies scholars have highlighted the general nature of this portrait, a detailed consideration of how Cecil Gray’s 1934 study of Warlock was a catalyst for Davies has yet to be explored. Gray’s book allowed Davies to incorporate a plethora of details from Warlock’s biography (including his untimely death) and to draw upon Warlock’s work as a composer and critic, his reception, and his family background; however, Davies was also able to explore his own interpretative space. In comparing A Mixture of Frailties with other literary refigurings of Warlock in the early twentieth century, the detail of Davies’s portrayal is distinctive, particularly in terms of its discussion of music. Davies’s novel can therefore be identified as a significant contribution to musico-literary relations.
The Monster in the Corner of the Map: Russian Visitors Describe Nature on Sakhalin Island (1850–1905)
Authors: Corrado Sharyl
Published: April 2019

This article examines evolving constructions of nature on Sakhalin Island in late imperial Russia, emphasising changing Russian views of not only the island, but of science, modernisation, mankind's power over nature and the borders of the empire. From a European land of plenty in the 1850s, welcoming to its Russian visitors, after a quarter-century of penal colonisation, the island had become a monster devouring its prey. This article argues that contradictory and evolving descriptions of Sakhalin's nature reflect tensions Russians faced in a modernising world, as they questioned the relationship between mankind and nature; the reliability of science; and the correct borders of their state. In the 1850s, Sakhalin seemed normal and bountiful, a gift to Russia, while two decades later, it was wealthy but hostile, although, with science, Russians could prevail. By the 1890s, that was called into question, and the island was portrayed as not only hostile, but foreign, desolate and unsubmissive to science; while activists of the early twentieth century reimagined it as abundant, comprehensible and vital to the empire. The image of Sakhalin as hostile and unintelligible prevailed, reflecting a widespread disillusionment with Western modernity. In 1905, Russia surrendered the southern half of the island to Japan.

Homogenization of Stokes with Neumann condition on oscillating boundary
Authors: Muthukumar Thirumalai Nambi , Sardar Bidhan Chandra
Published: April 2019

The stationary Stokes problem in a n-dimensional domain with a rapidly oscillating [Formula: see text] dimensional boundary prescribed with Neumann boundary condition and periodicity along the lateral sides is considered. We identify the limit equation in a fixed domain with a one dimensional Laplacian-type problem, satisfied on the region covered by the oscillating part of the boundary, coupled with steady Stokes in the complement. The existence and uniqueness of solution for the coupled limit problem is established and, finally, the weak convergences of velocities are improved to strong convergence by introducing corrector terms.

Authors: Xu Yongming , Ai Mengmeng , Wang Wenyi , Wang Yaodong
Published: April 2019

Due to the high rotational speed, the permanent magnet of surface-mounted high-speed permanent magnet generator is easily damaged by the centrifugal force. So a high strength alloy sheath is installed to protect the permanent magnet. The material, thickness and eddy current loss of the composite sheath of the high-speed permanent magnet generator with rotor strength constraint is studied thoroughly in this paper. Generator rotor strength under different limit conditions is calculated by numerical analysis method based on the thick-cylinder theory of elastic mechanics. Various methods have been used to reduce the eddy current. The composite sheath of high-speed permanent magnet generator on the basis of rotor strength constraint is presented. Change of the material, thickness of each layer of the sheath is determined by calculation of stress and eddy current loss and optimized design of composite sheath with reasonable stress distribution and lower eddy current loss. Strength test of prototype rotor is carried out.

Authors: Michou Maria , Panagiotakos Demosthenes B. , Mamalaki Eirini , Yannakoulia Maria , Costarelli Vassiliki
Published: April 2019

BACKGROUND:

Parental feeding practices can affect children’s eating behavior and diet quality. Greek children seem to have poor diet quality and high rates of obesity. Measuring parental feeding practices could facilitate in the formation of target interventions aiming at improving children’s eating behaviours.

OBJECTIVE:

The aim of the current study was to develop and validate the Comprehensive Parental Feeding Questionnaire (CPFQ) in the Greek language.

METHODS:

The sample consisted of 399 parents (71.2% mothers) of children 2–12 years old. A translation to the Greek language of the CPFQ tool, was conducted followed by a repeatability test, explanatory and confirmatory factor analysis, measures of internal consistency test and factor correlations.

RESULTS:

Factor analysis resulted in a final questionnaire of 42 items distributed over 6 factors. Cronbach alpha values were adequate (0.64–0.89) and the correlations between factors were low (rho = –0.212 – 0.405). In addition, mothers use more the “child control” feeding practice ( p = 0.002), parents with girls use more the “monitoring” feeding practice ( p = 0.010) and normal weight parents use less the “restriction” feeding practice ( p = 0.047), in comparison to overweight parents.

CONCLUSIONS:

Results support the reliability and validity of the CPFQ for the Greek population.

Authors: Ribeiro Rosilene V. , Simpson Stephen J. , Le Couteur David G. , Raubenheimer David , Eberhard Joerg , Ruiz Kate , Macia Laurence , Todorova Yvanna , Gosby Alison K.
Published: April 2019

BACKGROUND:

Worldwide, populations are ageing with significant impact on health patterns. Studies have shown that low protein, high carbohydrate diets are associated with more favourable outcomes. Plant-based diets have also been shown to have a positive impact on cardiometabolic health, weight loss and prevention of all causes of mortality.

OBJECTIVE:

The aim of the current study is to assess the main and interactive effects of two macronutrient interventions in a 2×2 factorial dietary design to determine their effects on appetite and health outcomes in older individuals.

METHODS:

Individuals aged 65 to 75 with a BMI between 20 and 35 kg/m2 were recruited. Participants were provided with ad libitum access to one of four diets for four weeks, designed as a 2×2 factorial. Each dietary treatment provided 14% of energy as protein, which was either omnivorous or semi-vegetarian in origin. The remaining complement of macronutrient energy (80–82%) was either relatively high in fat (37–41% of energy) and low in carbohydrates (41–43%), or vice versa (28–29% fat with 53% carbohydrate). Study diets were provided via a meal delivery company. Self-completed questionnaires, biospecimen and clinical assessments were collected before and after intervention to assess cardio-metabolic, oral and gut health, body composition and physical performance.

RESULTS:

Trial status is currently ongoing (sample and data analyses).

CONCLUSIONS:

This study will help determine whether protein-source (plant vs animal) and fat to carbohydrate ratio have an impact on predictors of healthy ageing. These findings will also create a sound foundation on which to base nutritional interventions in older individuals to support healthy ageing.
Effects of two different protocols of cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation combined with transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation on robot-assisted gait training in patients with chronic supratentorial stroke: A single blind, randomized controlled trial
Authors: Picelli Alessandro , Brugnera Annalisa , Filippetti Mirko , Mattiuz Nicola , Chemello Elena , Modenese Angela , Gandolfi Marialuisa , Waldner Andreas , Saltuari Leopold , Smania Nicola
Published: April 2019

Background:

The neural organization of locomotion involves motor patterns generated by spinal interneuronal networks and supraspinal structures, which are approachable by noninvasive stimulation techniques. Recent evidences supported the hypothesis that transcranial direct current stimulation (combined with transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation) may actually enhance the effects of robot-assisted gait training in chronic stroke patients. The cerebellum has many connections to interact with neocortical areas and may provide some peculiar plasticity mechanisms. So, it has been proposed as “non-lesioned entry” to the motor or cognitive system for the application of noninvasive stimulation techniques in patients with supratentorial stroke.

Objective:

To compare the effects of two different protocols of cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation combined with transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation on robotic gait training in patients with chronic supratentorial stroke.

Methods:

Forty patients with chronic supratentorial stroke were randomly assigned into two groups. All patients received ten, 20-minute robotic gait training sessions, five days a week, for two consecutive weeks. Group 1 underwent cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation over the contralesional cerebellar hemisphere + cathodal transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation in combination with robotic training. Group 2 underwent cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation over the ipsilesional cerebellar hemisphere + cathodal transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation in combination with robotic training. The primary outcome was the 6-minute walk test performed before, after, and at follow-up at 2 and 4 weeks post-treatment.

Results:

No significant difference in the 6-minute walk test between groups was found at the first post-treatment evaluation ( P = 0.976), as well as at the 2-week ( P = 0.178) and the 4-week ( P = 0.069) follow-up evaluations. Both groups showed significant within-group improvements in the 6-minute walk test at all time points.∥Conclusions: Our findings support the hypothesis that cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation over the contralesional or ipsilesional cerebellar hemisphere in combination with cathodal transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation may lead to similar effects on robotic gait training in chronic supratentorial stroke patients.
Automated fiducial marker detection and fiducial point localization in CT images for lung biopsy image-guided surgery systems
Authors: Bao Nan , Li Ang , Zhao Wei , Cui Zhiming , Tian Xinhua , Yue Yong , Li Hong , Qian Wei
Published: April 2019

In the lung biopsy image-guided surgery systems, the fiducial markers are used for point-based registration of the patient space to the CT image space. Fiducial marker detection and fiducial point localization in CT images have great influence on the accuracy of registration and guidance. This study proposes a fiducial marker detection approach based on the features of marker image slice sequences and a fiducial point localization approach according to marker projection images, without depending on the priori-knowledge of the marker default parameters provided by the manufacturers. The accuracy of our method was validated based on a CT image dataset of 24 patients. The experimental results showed that all 144 markers of 24 patients were correctly detected, and the fiducial points were localized with the average error of 0.35 mm. In addition, the localization accuracy of the proposed method was improved by an average of 12.5% compared with the accuracy of the previous method using the marker default parameters provided by the manufacturers. Thus, the study demonstrated that the proposed detection and localization methods are accurate and robust, which is quite encouraging to meet the requirement of future clinical applications in the image guided lung biopsy and surgery systems.
A dosimetric comparison of Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) and High Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy in localized cervical cancer radiotherapy
Authors: Wali Lila , Helal Azza , Darwesh Reem , Attar Mohammed
Published: April 2019

BACKGROUND:

Cervical cancer radiotherapy is usually administrated through 3-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy (3DCRT) followed by a brachytherapy (BT) boost.

PURPOSE:

To investigate whether Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) can replace High Dose Rate (HDR) intracavitary BT boost for patients undergoing cervical cancer radiotherapy.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Computed Tomography (CT) images for ten patients with tandem and ovoids were included in this study. Target volumes, rectum, bladder, sigmoid, small bowel and both femoral heads were delineated. Two plans were carried out including (a) a BT plan optimized manually by modifying dwell time and Ir-192 source positions, (b) a VMAT plan generated using two partial arcs with 10 MV photon beam. The prescribed dose was 7 Gy. The relevant dose volume parameters (DVPs) of target volumes and OARs for the two plans were analyzed statistically using SPSS Wilcoxon Signed Rank test.

RESULTS:

VMAT plan showed a significant reduction of 9.1%, 9.3%, 15.4%, 14.4% and 13.1% in rectum maximum dose, rectum D2 cc, bladder maximum dose, bladder D2 cc and sigmoid maximum dose ( P < 0.05). VMAT and BT plans showed comparable D2 cc of sigmoid and small bowel maximum doses ( P = 0.333 and P = 0.646). On the other hand, VMAT showed significantly higher small bowel D2 cc and maximum point dose for both femoral heads comparing to BT plan ( P < 0.05). Also, VMAT plan yielded greater homogeneous target coverage compared to BT plan ( P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION:

The study demonstrated that VMAT plan achieves significant dose reduction of rectum, bladder and sigmoid, as well as superior homogeneous target coverage compared to BT plan. On the other hand, VMAT delivers more radiation exposures to small bowel and femoral heads.

Authors: Dou Yincong , Li Meixia , Zhang Lu , Cheng Tianming , Lei Pingchong , Ge Yinghui
Published: April 2019

OBJECTIVE:

To evaluate the potential of synovial membrane volume measurement by MRI in monitoring the effect of radiation synovectomy on patients of Hemophilic Arthropathy (HA).

METHODS:

We studied 63 diseased joints of 42 HA patients who received hospitalized services at the Hemophilia Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Henan Provincial People’s Hospital from May 2011 to January 2015. Unenhanced and enhanced MR scanning of each diseased joint was performed simultaneously. The volumes of synovial membrane of 21 joints from 16 patients before and after being treated with 32P radiation synovectomy (PRS) were measured and compared using image post-processing software and workstation. Two sample matching t test was conducted to analyze the synovial membrane volumes of the same joint measured by unenhanced and enhanced MR, as well as change of MR enhancement ratio after treatments.

RESULTS:

The synovial membrane volumes measured by unenhanced versus enhanced MR scanning showed no statistical significance. Significant reduction ( t = 7.831, p < 0.001) of the synovial membrane volume after treatment (2479.45±46.48 mm3 versus 2983.30±42.87 mm3 before treatment) was observed. MR enhancement ratio of synovial membrane decreased after treatment (0.92±0.06 after vs 1.17±0.07 before treatment) with statistical significance.

CONCLUSION:

The synovial membrane volume and MR enhancement ratio can be used to monitor patient response to PRS treatment.

Authors: Kozlov М. М.
Published: April 2019

To fully understand the spirituality of the Ukrainian people, his mental features, without a detailed study of his pagan background, in particular the notions about the other world, is practically impossible. An important place in the Slavic pagan myth about the other world occupy the notion of "anti-world" - the place where, according to our ancestors, the bones of burned dead were inhabited. Thus, the purpose of this article is to study the archaic basis of the spirituality of the modern Ukrainian nation.

ANALISIS NILAI KOEFISIEN LIMPASAN PERMUKAAN PADA EMBUNG KECIL UNTUK PERTANIAN DI PULAU FLORES BAGIAN TIMUR
Authors: Krisnayanti Denik Sri
Published: April 2019

Pulau Flores bagian timur yakni di daerah Kabupaten Flores Timur, Sikka, Ende, dan Nagekeo merupakan kawasan yang masuk dalam kategori semi-arid. Daerah tersebut memiliki curah hujan rata-rata bulanan yang hanya berkisar antara 57,17 – 188,08 mm/bulan, sementara evapotranspirasi rata-rata bulanan yang terjadi lebih tinggi, yakni berkisar antara 164,91 – 185,57 mm/bulan. Oleh karena itu, jumlah ketersediaan air pada musim kemarau cukup rendah, sehingga perlu dilakukan upaya pemanenan air hujan dengan memperbesar kapasitas tampungan permukaan. Salah satu alternatif yang tepat ialah dengan membangun embung. Parameter penting dalam perhitungan ketersediaan jumlah air pada embung ialah nilai koefisien limpasan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini ialah untuk mendapatkan nilai koefisien limpasan permukaan pada 15 buah embung di Pulau Flores bagian timur dengan menggunakanan data curah hujan dan data klimatologi terbaru.Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan dengan menggunakan metode analisis matematis diperoleh nilai koefisien limpasan permukaan pada embung kecil di Pulau Flores bagian timur berkisar antara 0,00 - 0,72. Untuk nilai koefisien limpasan permukaan terendah terjadi pada bulan November yang hanya berkisar antara 0,00 – 0,39 dan nilai koefisien limpasan tertinggi terjadi pada bulan Januari yakni berkisar antara 0,48 – 0,72.

Metode yang digunakan dalam studi ini antara lain adalah penilaian kinerja dengan monitoring dinamika muka air di bagian hulu dan hilir drainpile, wawancara tatap muka dengan masyarakat, dan observasi kondisi drainpile di lapangan. Berdasarkan hasil studi, diperoleh informasi bahwa drainpile dapat berfungsi dengan baik untuk membendung aliran dan meninggikan muka air, namun pada sisi desain masih perlu dilakukan penyempurnaan antara lain penambahan reflektor cahaya pada tubuh bangunan, perbaikan pada desain sayap bangunan, dan perbaikan pada desain alur perahu.
Simulasi perilaku air tanah Jakarta akibat pengambilan air tanah berlebihan

Pengambilan air tanah berlebihan merupakan permasalahan yang kerap kali timbul di wilayah perkotaan di Indonesia, termasuk di Ibu Kota Negara Provinsi DKI Jakarta. Ketidakseimbangan antara laju pengambilan air tanah yang sangat cepat dengan laju imbuhan air tanah yang cenderung lambat menyebabkan penurunan Muka Air Tanah (MAT) tidak dapat lagi dihindarkan. Kerucut penurunan MAT banyak ditemukan di wilayah DKI Jakarta seperti di Kalideres dan Sunter. Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan simulasi perilaku air tanah Jakarta terkait pengambilan air tanah pada kondisi aktual dan proyeksi ke depan hingga tahun 2080 dengan beberapa skenario yang mungkin terjadi. Simulasi menggunakan model aliran air tanah numerik IMOD dengan metode beda hingga. Hasil simulasi pada kondisi eksisting menunjukkan adanya penambahan lokasi kerucut penurunan hingga ke wilayah Pulogadung, Bekasi Utara, Cengkareng, dan Tambora. Proyeksi air tanah menyimpulkan bahwa pengambilan air tanah merupakan faktor yang paling berpengaruh terhadap fluktuasi muka air tanah Jakarta. Jika pengambilan air tanah dapat dikontrol (skenario 2), maka muka air tanah dapat mengalami pemulihan (recovery). Akan tetapi, jika pengambilan air tanah dibiarkan terus berlanjut bahkan terus meningkat (skenario 1), meskipun ditambah dengan sumur injeksi seperti pada skenario 3 atau dengan penambahan kapasitas imbuhan seperti pada skenario 4, muka air tanah Jakarta tetap mengalami penurunan secara signifikan. Bahkan kerucut penurunan MAT menjadi semakin dalam dan meluas.
Using the street in Mexico City Centre: temporary appropriation of public space vs legislation governing street use
Authors: Lara-Hernandez J. Antonio , Melis Alessandro , Coulter Claire
Published: April 2019

Historically there has been a rich discussion concerning the function of streets in cities, and their role in urban life. This paper outlines the relevance of temporary appropriation for understanding social dynamics within a given urban environment, looking in particular at activities occurring in the street. It takes as a case study Mexico City Centre and examines the laws and regulations set out by the government of Mexico City which regulate the use of the street. It contrasts this with the ways in which the inhabitants of the city appropriate public space on a daily basis. There is a contrast between the lack of clarity in the legislation surrounding potential activities occurring on the street, and a seemingly tacit consensus between citizens regarding how they appropriate such public spaces. We explore this contrast and outline ways in which public space is used in traditional and unexpected ways, how creative ways are found to use the street area within the spirit of the law, and where further research on this topic this could lead in future.

La gastronomía peregrina de Gabriel García Márquez.
Authors: Valerio Holguín Fernando
Published: April 2019

A lo largo de los Doce cuentos peregrinos, de Gabriel García Márquez, se mencionan platillos de la cocina latinoamericana e internacional, así como referencias a situaciones, personas y restaurantes relacionados con la gastronomía. Este artículo examina la peregrinación gastronómica o paratopía de los personajes de estos cuentos. El desplazamiento tanto de los cuerpos como de la comida en el espacio y el tiempo plantea una posición incómoda de la enunciación por parte del escritor, así como de los enunciados de los personajes. Por una parte, la función de la comida tiene como objetivo definir el carácter, el estatus social y la identidad cultural de los personajes y, por otra, establecer una poética relacional en el espacio social en que se desenvuelven dichos personajes.
Habitar el relámpago.
Authors: Paba Zarante Norman
Published: April 2019

Para todas las que no participaron en una revolución, para las que arrojaron a sus niños desde lo alto de la montaña y luego sonrieron satisfechas mientras la brisa aullaba, para las que perdieron la cabeza por amor una y otra vez y odiaron tanto ese corazón entregado que desearon ser hombres y follar su propio cuerpo con la rabia de las cosas oxidadas, para las que apagaron cigarrillos en sus vientres con natural felicidad luego de visitar al ginecólogo, para las que murieron de sobredosis en callejones, en bares y en cuartuchos infectos, para las que nunca lucharon ni les interesó hacerlo, para las rubias destruidas estáticas en su propia contemplación de animal de centella, para las que se emborrachaban hasta perder el camino a casa y a sus vidas, para las que la ternura, ese extravío, destruyó sistemáticamente. Este es su canto, su llaga perfecta, de azafrán, de jazmín, de las diez mil hogueras donde arde toda la belleza.
Leonardo Padura : “el discurso de la nación no se puede hacer con una sola voz”.
Authors: Aguilar Velásquez Karla
Published: April 2019

ENTREVISTA: Leonardo Padura, narrador, guionista de cine, ensayista y periodista cubano es un referente indiscutible de la literatura cubana y latinoamericana contemporánea. A pesar de que se dio a conocer internacionalmente con la serie de novelas protagonizadas por el investigador Mario Conde, que conforman la tetralogía de Las Cuatro Estaciones, que ha sido llevada al cine y a la televisión, es autor de tres novelas más con el mismo personaje y de novelas de carácter histórico, como La novela de mi vida (2002) y El hombre que amaba a los perros (2009), su libro más difundido, premiado y comentado. Son sus inicios en la novela policial los que lo ubican en la novedad del continente, por las renovaciones estéticas y éticas que acercan sus novelas al fenómeno del neopolicial latinoamericano y terminan en Cuba con la tradición del policial comprometido, que había caracterizado las producciones del género desde la década de los 70.
Precariedad y violencia : representación(es) de la inmigración en el teatro de México.
Authors: Salcedo Larios Hugo
Published: April 2019

La frontera norte de México es un escenario real donde se propicia un encuentro a veces violento, de fuerzas equidistantes, complejas y contradictorias. Es punto nodal en el tránsito de personas y mercancías que lo convierten en auténtico vertedero de aspiraciones truncas. Resumen de anhelos, imaginarios y frustraciones, arraigo de identidades y añoranzas por los distanciamientos geográficos; choque cultural y lingüístico. Es a través del teatro, ya desde sus características aristotélicas o bien como manifestación de las formas posdramáticas consistentes en la exposición autobiográfica, la ruptura lógica convencional, la narración dramática, etcétera, que se presenta una de las expresiones idóneas que ofrecen este contexto liminal de contradicciones. En este sitio, señala por ejemplo Alejandro Lugo, la vida cultural se modifica y reproduce a partir de estas contingencias y situaciones históricas-culturales, como una reacción a la arbitraria pero férrea constitución del poder legitimado políticamente por los Estados centrales y sus instituciones. En la década de los años noventa del siglo pasado, estas condiciones fueron propicias para el surgimiento del denominado «Teatro del Norte» como una posibilidad de organización de colectivos o creadores independientes que dieron lugar a textos y montajes importantes. Esta cualidad de organización del gremio teatral se ha continuado ya entrada la nueva centuria ofreciendo trabajos de excelente factura. La intención del presente artículo es poner a consideración algunos de los textos dramáticos que dejaron la huella de un importante teatro regional o fronterizo con las características antes anunciadas.
Esas difusas fronteras éticas : el Zurdo Mendieta en la narcoliteratura de Élmer Mendoza.
Authors: Vásquez Mejías Ainhoa
Published: April 2019

El discurso propagado en México, desde el inicio de la Guerra contra el narco, se ha basado en un juicio maniqueo entre buenos y malos, héroes y villanos. Los narcotraficantes son descritos y analizados, tanto por los medios de comunicación, el gobierno, la academia como por gran parte de los productos culturales, como asesinos despiadados, monstruos movilizados por una lógica capitalista y patriarcal. El escritor Élmer Mendoza, en cambio, en su saga protagonizada por el detective Zurdo Mendieta, se sitúa en los intersticios morales para deconstruir estas falsas fronteras éticas. No hay buenos y malos en esta historia nacional, sino sujetos intentando sobrevivir pese a la contingencia. Rescatar la humanidad antes que el estereotipo, probablemente sea la gran apuesta del escritor sinaloense.
Novela colombiana entre 1990-2005: un enfoque desde el género negro
Authors: Rodríguez Peña Adriana
Published: April 2019

Resumen Los estudios histórico-críticos sobre las novelas colombianas publicadas entre 1990 y 2005 caracterizan la narrativa del periodo desde dos grandes tendencias: novela de la ciudad o novela posmoderna. ¿Qué tan precisas son esas clasificaciones, dadas las particularidades y rasgos de este gran número de novelas que podrían relacionarse con el género negro? Este texto se propone mostrar las perspectivas teóricas, ideológicas e históricas de la novelas del periodo, que permiten hablar de una tendencia de la novela colombiana que está relacionada con el género negro en Colombia y en América Latina.

Cartagena: ciudad monumental para el turismo y discurso glorificador en la prensa local de mediados del siglo XX
Authors: Caro Hernández Isela
Published: April 2019

En este texto nos proponemos examinar las imágenes e imaginarios sobre ciudad que se establecieron y circularon en la prensa de Cartagena de Indias a mediados del siglo XX. Estableceremos las distinciones conceptuales necesarias entre imágenes urbanas e imaginarios como punto de entrada al análisis del discurso periodístico, y veremos cómo este discurso, fundamentado en los intereses y expectativas de las élites, recrea una imagen urbana desde los tópicos de modernización, progreso y destino turístico.

Reflexiones acerca de literatura marginal: la literatura pornográfica o de “consolación”
Authors: Gutiérrez Ramírez Carolina
Published: April 2019

En el presente trabajo abordamos la condición ancilar de los textos “pornográficos”, las dinámicas que se tejen en torno a ellos y la clase de relato que construyen, sus espacios de circulación y los imaginarios en juego en Cali (Colombia), en las décadas del sesenta y setenta, tomando como punto de partida la producción del escritor “marginal” Hernán Hoyos (Cali, 1931).
