Vertically nested LES for high-resolution simulation of the surface layer in PALM (version 5.0)
Authors: Huq Sadiq , De Roo Frederik , Raasch Siegfried , Mauder Matthias
Published: June 2019

Abstract. Large-eddy simulation (LES) has become a well-established tool in the atmospheric boundary layer research community to study turbulence.
It allows three-dimensional realizations of the turbulent fields, which large-scale models and most experimental studies cannot yield.
To resolve the largest eddies in the mixed layer, a moderate grid resolution in the range of 10 to 100 m is often sufficient, and these simulations can be run on a computing cluster with a few hundred processors or even on a workstation for simple configurations.
The desired resolution is usually limited by the computational resources. However, to compare with tower measurements of turbulence and exchange fluxes in the surface layer, a much higher resolution is required.
In spite of the growth in computational power, a high-resolution LES of the surface layer is often not feasible: to fully resolve the energy-containing eddies near the surface, a grid spacing of O(1 m) is required.
One way to tackle this problem is to employ a vertical grid nesting technique, in which the surface is simulated at the necessary fine grid resolution, and it is coupled with a standard, coarse, LES that resolves the turbulence in the whole boundary layer.
We modified the LES model PALM (Parallelized Large-eddy simulation Model) and implemented a two-way nesting technique, with coupling in both directions between the coarse and the fine grid. The coupling algorithm has to ensure correct boundary conditions for the fine grid.
Our nesting algorithm is realized by modifying the standard third-order Runge–Kutta time stepping to allow communication of data between the two grids.
The two grids are concurrently advanced in time while ensuring that the sum of resolved and sub-grid-scale kinetic energy is conserved. We design a validation test and show that the temporally averaged profiles from the fine grid agree well compared to the reference simulation with high resolution in the entire domain.
The overall performance and scalability of the nesting algorithm is found to be satisfactory.
Our nesting results in more than 80 % savings in computational power for 5 times higher resolution in each direction in the surface layer.

Abstract. The amount of additional future temperature change following a complete cessation of CO2 emissions is a measure of the unrealized warming to which we are committed due to CO2 already emitted to the atmosphere. This "Zero Emissions Commitment" (ZEC) is also an important quantity when estimating the remaining carbon budget – a limit on the total amount of CO2 emissions consistent with limiting global mean temperature at a particular level. In the recent IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C, the carbon budget framework used to calculate the remaining carbon budget for 1.5 °C included the assumption that the ZEC due to CO2 emissions is negligible and close to zero. Previous research has shown significant uncertainty even in the sign of the ZEC. To close this knowledge gap, we propose the Zero Emissions Commitment Model Intercomparison Project (ZECMIP), which will quantify the amount of unrealized temperature change that occurs after CO2 emissions cease and investigate the geophysical drivers behind this climate response. Quantitative information on ZEC is a key gap in our knowledge, and one that will not be addressed by currently planned CMIP6 simulations, yet it is crucial for verifying whether carbon budgets need to be adjusted to account for any unrealized temperature change resulting from past CO2 emissions. We request only one top priority simulation from comprehensive general circulation Earth System Models (ESMs) and Earth System Models of Intermediate Complexity (EMICs) – a branch from the 1 % CO2 run with CO2 emissions set to zero at the point of 1000 PgC of total CO2 emissions in the simulation – with the possibility for additional simulations, if resources allow. ZECMIP is part of CMIP6, under joint sponsorship by C4MIP and CDRMIP, with associated experiment names to enable data submissions to Earth System Grid Federation. All data will be published and made freely available.
The significance of soil properties to the estimation of soil moisture
from C-band synthetic aperture radar
Authors: Beale John , Snapir Boris , Waine Toby , Evans Jonathan , Corstanje Ronald
Published: June 2019

Abstract. Soil Moisture is a key variable in hydrology, weather and climate modelling. Research has been directed to the estimation of soil moisture over wide areas through a combination of modelling, in-situ measurement and remote sensing to improve the accuracy of hydrological and meteorological forecasting. For monitoring and controlling irrigation and other agricultural purposes, there is also a need to capture local variability. Significant soil moisture differences are observed between and within fields due to land use, soil properties, drainage, tillage, vegetation, solar radiation, air temperature, wind, rain and other factors. Taking the United Kingdom as an example, the average area of agricultural fields is about 12 hectares, requiring a mapping resolution of less than 100 m. Satellite-based remote sensing, including the use of C-band SAR (such as on Sentinel-1), has the potential to satisfy this requirement, but many current data products are aggregated to a spatial resolution of at least 1km and/or provide soil moisture in relative units or indices. Both strategies mitigate the uncertainties introduced by field-scale variability in soil hydrological and vegetation properties. Geospatial datasets of soil properties and land use, crop modelling and other remote sensing techniques may provide an alternative approach to mitigating this variability and allow finer scale products to be produced with acceptable errors. This paper looks at the role of soil properties in the estimation of soil moisture from C-band SAR. We show that information on the soil texture, organic matter content, surface temperature, land use and crop modelling should be important inputs to the success of retrieving soil moisture at the field scale. Previously published data provides guidance in setting soil roughness parameters, based on soil properties, following farming operations such as primary tillage. Beyond soil moisture retrieval, there is exciting potential in SAR remote sensing data to improve the spatial resolution and mapping accuracy of some soil properties.
Characterizing ERA-Interim and ERA5 surface wind biases using ASCAT
Authors: Belmonte Rivas Maria , Stoffelen Ad
Published: June 2019

Abstract. This paper analyzes the differences between ERA-Interim
and ERA5 surface winds fields relative to Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT) ocean vector wind
observations, after adjustment for the effects of atmospheric stability and
density, using stress-equivalent winds (U10S) and air–sea relative motion
using ocean current velocities. In terms of instantaneous root mean square (rms) wind speed
agreement, ERA5 winds show a 20 % improvement relative to ERA-Interim
and a performance similar to that of currently operational ECMWF forecasts.
ERA5 also performs better than ERA-Interim in terms of mean and transient wind
errors, wind divergence and wind stress curl biases. Yet, both ERA products
show systematic errors in the partition of the wind kinetic energy into
zonal and meridional, mean and transient components. ERA winds are
characterized by excessive mean zonal winds (westerlies) with too-weak mean
poleward flows in the midlatitudes and too-weak mean meridional winds (trades)
in the tropics. ERA stress curl is too cyclonic in midlatitudes and high latitudes,
with implications for Ekman upwelling estimates, and lacks detail in the
representation of sea surface temperature (SST) gradient effects (along the equatorial cold tongues
and Western Boundary Current (WBC) jets) and mesoscale convective airflows (along the Intertropical Convergence Zone and the warm
flanks for the WBC jets). It is conjectured that large-scale mean wind
biases in ERA are related to their lack of high-frequency (transient wind)
variability, which should be promoting residual meridional circulations in
the Ferrel and Hadley cells.
Improving subduction interface implementation in dynamic numerical models
Authors: Sandiford Dan , Moresi Louis
Published: June 2019

Abstract. Numerical subduction models often implement an entrained weak layer (WL) to facilitate decoupling of the slab and upper plate. This approach is attractive in its simplicity, and can provide stable, asymmetric subduction systems that persist for many tens of millions of years. In this study we undertake a methodological analysis of the WL approach, and use these insights to guide improvements to the implementation. The issue that primarily motivates the study is the emergence of significant spatial and temporal thickness variations within the WL. We show that these variations are mainly the response to volumetric flux gradients, caused by the change in boundary conditions as the WL material enters and exits the zone of decoupling. The time taken to reach a quasi-equilibrium thickness profile will depend on the total plate convergence, and is around 7 Myr for the models presented here. During the transient stage, width variations along the WL can exceed 4×, which may impact the effective strength of the interface, through physical effects if the rheology is linear, or simply if the interface becomes inadequately numerically resolved. The transient stage also induces strong sensitivity to model resolution. By prescribing a variable-thickness WL at the outset of the model, and by controlling the limits of the layer thickness during the model evolution, we find improved stability and resolution convergence of the models.
Evaluation of poultry manure and goat cheese whey anaerobic co-digestion
Authors: Ramos-Suárez Juan L. , Vargas-Avendaño Claudia L. , Mata-González Javier , Camacho-Pérez Ángeles
Published: June 2019

Hen droppings (HD) and Goat Cheese Whey (GCW) are two difficult substrates to be treated by anaerobic digestion due to their characteristics; however, their co-digestion offers the possibility of successfully treating these substrates together. The goal of this study was to evaluate the anaerobic co-digestion of HD and GCW at laboratory scale in order to determine biogas potential and possible operational problems before extrapolating results to a full-scale biogas plant. The potential methane production of HD, GCW and a mixture of both substrates was studied in batch mode, whereas the co-digestion of the mixture of HD and GCW was also studied in semi-continuous mode in a continuously stirred tank reactor. Results showed that the addition of GCW to HD increased methane production compared to HD alone; however, GCW alone showed the highest methane potential. In semi-continuous mode, the mixture of GCW and HD showed high biogas and methane yields (582.0±29.5 Lbiogas kg VS-1 and 381.2±19.0 LCH4 kg VS-1, respectively), although intense foaming incidents occurred. The composition of both substrates is complementary for their co-digestion and it improved the energy yield of the process. However, the economic viability of a biogas plant of 30 kWe, designed for treating HD and GCW, would be economically feasible only with subsidies for the investment and in the low range of investment costs for small scale biogas plants.

Macrophages are the first line of defense in the cellular environment in response to any antigenic or foreign invasion. Since cancer cells express antigenic molecules and create a tumor microenvironment quite different from the normal cellular environment, macrophages will attack this cancer cells as foreign Invaders. However, the cancer cells adept their ability to suppress macrophage activity by secreting compounds/proteins through unknown mechanisms and train these macrophages to aid in tumorigenesis. These macrophages are commonly known as tumor associated macrophages (TAM). In this study, our goal was to find out key regulatory molecules involved in this conversion of cancer-fighting macrophages to cancer friendly macrophages. We used African American(AA) patient derived established human prostate cancer cells along with the human derived macrophages followed by Affymetrix cDNA microarray analysis. Microarray analysis of the PCa cell exposed macrophages revealed appreciable decrease in mRNA expression of several genes associated with phagocytosis process. Aberrant expression of several noncoding RNAs that control the expression of such phagocytosis associated molecules were also evident. Increased expression of oncogenic miR such as, miR-148, 615, 515, 130, 139 and markedly decreased expression of tumor suppressive miR’s MiR-3130, let7c,101,103, 383 were noted. Further, TARGET SCAN analysis demonstrated these differential expression of non-coding RNA’s causing down regulation of phagocytosis promoting genes elf5A, Meg3, Tubb5, Sparcl-1, Uch-1, Bsg(CD147), Ube2v, GULP, Stabilin 1 and Pamr1. There is an increase of RAP1GAP gene that causes concomitant decrease in the expression of tubulin genes that promote cytoskeletal assembly in forming phagosomes. In addition Ingenuity pathway analysis of the gene expression data also showed upregulation of antiphagocytic genes IL-10, CD16, IL-18 and MMP-9. Some core canonical pathways showing physiology of cellular signaling obtained by data analyzed by the Ingenuity software is confirmed a very complex mechanism still to be deciphered involved in the biology of TAM formation by which the rogue cancer cells tame their enemies, the macrophages and actually make them their helper cells to survive and propagate in the tumor microenvironment and thus prepare for epithelial mesenchymal transition for future metastasis and cancer stem cell formation and progression.

Published: June 2019

This paper aims to explore the mediation effect of psychological capital and perceived organizational support on therelationship between authentic leadership and intention to stay. The structural equation modeling technique was usedto test the hypothesized model. A survey was administered to collect data targeting a sample of randomly selectedteachers working at high schools in Tehran. The results suggest that authentic leadership significantly influencesteachers’ intention to stay, psychological capital, perceived organizational support. As predicted, both perceivedorganizational support and psychological capital had a significant positive direct effect on intention to stay. Theeffect of authentic leadership on intention to stay was found to be mediated by teachers’ psychological capital andperceived organizational support. This study shows how leaders can enhance teachers’ intention to stay by applyingauthentic leadership, engendering psychological capital and creating supportive environment.
The researcher’s erotic subjectivities: epistemological and ethical challenges
Authors: De Graeve Katrien , De Craene Valerie
Published: June 2019

This paper aims to deepen the conversation about the potential relevance and importance of including reflection on the desire and sexuality of the researcher in research outputs. We critically scrutinise the exceptionalisation of sexual(ised) interactions in research: why is sexual(ised) contact between researchers and participants considered unethical or problematic, and what are the consequences of the avoidance of—and/or the (self-)censorship with regard to discussing—intimacy in the field? This discussion leads us to argue for an alternative ethical approach than that prescribed by institutional ethical protocols. The ethical approach that we envision is based on the premise that knowledge production never occurs apart from our bodies and that a research relationship is not fundamentally different from any other human relationship. What we propose is a relational research ethics that creates space for discussing openly and in dialogue with others the (potential) consequences of our actions as researchers/human beings within relationships of shifting power asymmetry.

Abordamos este trabajo desde la perspectiva de la integración de estas minorías en los ejércitos, para lo cual tratamos, en primer lugar, cómo ha sido su proceso de inclusión en la organización militar. En segundo lugar, indagamos sobre los que consideramos principales elementos de discriminación hacia estos grupos en el momento actual. Finalmente, en comparativa con otros ejércitos de nuestro entorno y a modo de conclusión, exponemos una serie de reflexiones y propuestas que puedan hacer de las fuerzas armadas españolas una organización más receptiva e inclusiva.
Ectopic expression of secretory peptide PdEPF3 in Arabidopsis confers drought tolerance with reduced stomatal density
Authors: Liu Sha , Jia Fuli , Jiao Zhiyin , Wang Jingjing , Xia Xinli , Yin Weilun
Published: June 2019

Drought is one of the most prevalent environmental stresses that affect plant growth and development. Improvement in drought tolerance is associated with reduced stomatal density and higher water use efficiency (WUE). In this study, an epidermal patterning factor (EPF), PdEPF3, from a fast-growing poplar clone, NE-19 [Populus nigra × (Populus deltoides × Populus nigra)], was characterized. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction showed that the transcription of PdEPF3 was induced by drought. We further found that the transgenic Arabidopsis overexpressing PdEPF3 had an earlier seedling germination and longer primary roots under osmotic stress treatments, compared with the WT and mutant epf1-1. In addition, ectopic overexpression of PdEPF3 in Arabidopsis plants was able to enhance drought tolerance. This observation was associated with the reduced stomatal density of transgenic plants, which would limit transpiration and reduce water loss, consequently improving the WUE of plants. Interestingly, the reduction of stomatal density in transgenic plants overexpressing PdEPF3 did not affect their photosynthetic capacity. These results indicate that PdEPF3 could be used in transgenic breeding to enhance plant drought tolerance.

Major Vascular injury during laparoscopy is most deadly complication of laparoscopy. This report is review major vascular
injuries based on surgeon’s relation and literature. The incidence of MVI is 0,04–0,1%. Extremely important is to learn proper
technique of insuflation. According to patient’s physique surgeon should consider best technique of insuflation, take caution
against slim people, and induct implements with proper angle. We should avoid excesive force during trocar and Verres’s
needle insertion, we also should avoid redundant movement after Verres needle is inserted in abdomen cavity. Elevation of
the anterior abdominal wall at the time of Veress or primary trocar insertion is routinely recomended. Major vascular injury is

Tourism management by public administration institutions
Authors: Panasiuk Aleksander
Published: June 2019

The work addresses the issue of implementing the function of the state in the tourism economy by government and self-government administration institutions. Attention is paid to the scope of the functions of the state carried out in the tourism economy and the multiplicity of entities involved in achieving the objectives in this field. A multi-level and extensive tourism management system as well as the dysfunctionality of the existing structure is presented. The public tourism management system has limited effectiveness and it also carries a risk resulting from the duplication of competencies. On the other hand, despite the high share of the tourism economy in creating economic values, tourism is not sufficiently acknowledged by state authorities that implement tasks in the field of tourism policy. Sources of budget subsidies for tasks in the tourism sphere are very limited. The aim of the study is to identify the current system of managing the tourism economy by public entities in Poland and to indicate the areas that should be subject to improvement.
Aporte sedimentar em suspensão na bacia do rio Machado, sul de Minas Gerais

Published: June 2019

O processo de erosão hídrica é uma ação natural que ocorre ao longo do tempo geológico e geomorfológico e que pode ser impulsionado pela ação antrópica, quando da modificação do uso e cobertura da terra. Para além dos impactos do processo erosivo quanto à perda de fertilidade dos solos, a erosão hídrica causa nos sistemas fluviais um aporte de partículas de variadas granulometrias, que são postas em transporte, em função de características do escoamento em vertentes e canais. Com a chegada das partículas desprendidas das vertentes, alterações no padrão da turbidez são notadas, impactando a qualidade da água para fins de abastecimento humano, contribuindo para o assoreamento de canais e represas, pelo decaimento de taxa fotossintética e transporte de agroquímicos adsorvidos. Nesse contexto, enquadra-se a bacia hidrográfica do rio Machado, localizada no sul de Minas Gerais, que integra a Área de Proteção Ambiental do rio Machado. O presente artigo possui como objetivo avaliar o aporte de sedimentos em suspensão no rio Machado, próximo à cidade de Machado/MG, auxiliando o conhecimento do regime sedimentar na bacia, além de contribuir com ações voltadas à conservação do solo e água e minimização de processos erosivos. Foram utilizados dados coletados pelo IGAM entre 2007 e 2017, com relação à concentração de sedimentos em suspensão (mg.L-1), turbidez (UNT) e vazão (m³.s-1), bem como dados pluviométricos (mm) da ANA. Foram realizadas análises baseadas em estatística descritiva, análise de correlações e de estacionariedade. Resultados indicam que - em média - no período-base utilizado o aporte sedimentar do rio Machado situa-se em 49,9 t.dia-1, não havendo mudança significativa no comportamento do aporte sedimentar e que há correlação de 0,94 entre turbidez e concentração de sólidos em suspensão.
Antropologie a naturalismus

Published: June 2019

Cílem textu je zaměřit se na kritickou reflexi postmoderních přístupů a podobu interpretativistického výzkumu na poli antropologie z pohledu filozofie vědy zakládajícím se na naturalistickém přístupu. Poukážeme na úskalí, které postmoderní pojetí přináší, a jako korektiv předložíme koncepci, jež vychází z naturalistického pojetí opřeného o poznatky z filozofie vědy. Přestože antropologie čerpá z filozofického základu, naturalismus nebyl v metodologii antropologického výzkumu doposud zcela zohledněn. Cílem je tuto mezeru vyplnit a ukázat, jaký význam může mít začlenění naturalistického přístupu při zkoumání lidského jednání, zejména potom při antropologickém terénním výzkumu. V textu shrneme hlavní oblasti, s nimiž antropologie pracuje. Ukážeme současný přístup ke studiu těchto oblastí a jakým způsobem lze dané postupy obohatit o naturalistický pohled.
Partial Truth in Aristotle’s Metaphysics
Authors: Carli Silvia ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: June 2019

This paper explores the status of partial truths, i.e., statements that are partially true and partially false, in Aristotle’s Metaphysics. Contrary to what some scholars have suggested, it argues that partial truths are not confined to reputable opinions (endoxa) that have not yet been clarified and disambiguated. Rather, they have a more central role in Aristotle’s investigation. First, I propose that the fundamental question of being, namely, “What is substance?” is such that even our best attempts to answer it may never yield a full or complete truth. Second, at least in some instances, Aristotle does not seem interested in disambiguating the assertions of previous thinkers to attain propositions that are fully true or fully false. This is the case because our capacity to gain insights into the nature of things is mediated by our reflections on previous theories and on the problems that they incur. It may thus be desirable to retain some partial truths that, owing to their very ambiguity, force us to interrogate the nature of things more deeply.
Cannabis edibles: Behaviours, attitudes, and reasons for use
Authors: Doran Nicole , Papadopoulos Andrew
Published: June 2019

Legalization of cannabis may correspond with increased prevalence of use of cannabis-infused edibles. The purpose of this literature review was to search the literature and summarize edible-related behaviours, perceptions and reasons for use. The main findings indicate that edibles are potentially being used more frequently and that there is a general lack of understanding on how to safely use them. The information from this review can be used to help direct future areas of research and to inform future health promotion initiatives on safe edible use.

El tiempo del discurso jurídico y el relato prescriptivo. ”Nomos” históricos y “Nomos” procesales
Authors: Aniceto Paulo Damián
Published: June 2019

Este ensayo informa del estado de los debates en el campo de la Semiótica Jurídica sobre dos temas: el carácter narrativo de la práctica característica del discurso jurídico, dirigido a la adjudicación del juez, la sentencia; y la función argumentativa que aparece en el horizonte de ese carácter narrativo. Reconocemos detrás de estos temas un problema común sobre el que la semiótica debe detenerse: las operaciones estratégicas que las adjudicaciones enmascaran reenvían a regímenes narrativos donde se sancionan normas sobre el deber ser de las historias relatadas y sobre el campo discursivo donde los relatos emergen.This paper exposes current debates in the field of Legal Semiotics about two topics: the narrative nature of the practice of social discourse, oriented to adjudication, and the argumentative function that appears on the horizon of this narrative nature. We recognize one common problem behind these topics, and believe that Semiotics must pay attention: the strategic operations that the adjudications conceal remit to narrative regimes where rules are prescribed on normative ideal of story told and the discursive field where storytellings emerge.

To carry out the analysis, we take a look to some definitions of corporeity. Finally, we will propose a classification of types of relations between altered bodies and altered worlds.
“El paseo Ahumada” de Enrique Lihn, adaptado al cómic por Liván: “affordances” y tensiones en el proceso de adaptación
Authors: Gutiérrez García-Huidobro Julio I.
Published: June 2019

Este trabajo revisará cómo Liván realiza la transposición de El Paseo Ahumada. Desde las reflexiones de McHale (2010), se revisará cómo la segmentación de la poesía puede ser replicada en el cómic, y cómo los media affordances influyen en la transposición. Se buscará analizar la mirada del adaptador y cómo esta tensiona con los affordances y los modos de construcción discursiva secuencial. Este trabajo es relevante pues ofrece nuevas reflexiones en torno al proceso de transposición de medios tan dispares como el texto lírico y el secuencial, un tema escasamente se ha estudiado en la teoría de la adaptación.This paper intends to study how Liván achieve the transposition of El Paseo Ahumada. Through McHale’s (2010) conclusions, we will review how poetry segmentation can be replicated into comics, and how the media affordances influence in the adaptation. It is also intended to analyze the source view from the adapter, and how it tensions with the affordances and the modes of discursive construction in comics. This work is relevant because it offers new thoughts around the process of adaptation in such media as poetry and comics, a subject that it’s been sparingly studied in adaptation theory.

Resumen: Los críticos del positivismo legalista en la transición del siglo XIX al XX -Gény, Ehrlich, Kantorowiz- enfrentaron una concepción plural del derecho a la ley como única fuente formal del derecho y al Estado como una única fuente material del derecho. La semejanza de estos críticos y el derecho indígena en general -y en particular el derecho indígena zapatista- es asombrosa tanto en lo que respecta a la defensa de una pluralidad de normas  como a la génesis y formación histórica de las mismas.
Abstract: The critics of legalistic positivism in the transition from the nineteenth to the twentieth centuries -Gény, Ehrlich, Kantorowiz- were opposed to a plural conception of the law to the law as the only formal source and the state as a only material source of law. The similarity between these critics and indigenous law in general -and indigenous zapatista law in particular- is amazing as much in respect to the defense of a plurality of rules as to their origin and historical development.

First, it highlights different facts pertaining to these philosophers context that are not normally taken into account. Next, it presents both proposals main traits. Finally, it points out some legal consequences derived from both paradigms.

First, based on the democratic humanisms established after the Second World War by political Europeanism, to establish the values and principles that, as a public ethics, should govern the imperious renewal of the sociopolitical contract of European democracies. And second, to diagnose some of the impediments to this desirable development of the European democracies coming from both the neoliberal hegemonic thought and the varied populist and illiberal reactions that have arisen against it.

Els postulats de la filologia romànica internacional sobre l’origen, la identitat i el nom de la llengua catalana (1806-1906)
Authors: Martí-Badia Adrià
Published: June 2019

Resum: Aquest treball analitza els postulats dels romanistes no catalanòfons sobre l’origen, la identitat i el nom de la llengua catalana entre 1806 i 1906. Al segle xix es situa l’inici de la filologia romànica, i cada vegada més erudits cataloguen i estudien les diferents llengües romàniques. Progressivament, en aquest període els romanistes prenen en consideració la llengua catalana, i realitzen afirmacions sobre el seu origen —compartit amb la llengua occitana o independent des de l’inici—, la seua identitat —subordinada a l’occità o autònoma com la resta de llengües romàniques— i el nom amb què cal referir-s’hi.
 
Abstract: This paper analyses the postulates of the non-Catalan-speaking Romanists about the origin, the identity and the name of the Catalan language between 1806 and 1906. Romance philology emerges in the 19th century and scholars started to categorize and study the different romance languages. Progressively, during this period, Romanists take into consideration the Catalan language and make statements about its origin —shared with the Occitan language or independent from the beginning—, its identity —subordinated to Occitan or autonomous as the other romance languages— and the name with which the language should be mentioned.
‘Gente Borgia’. Un nuevo ejemplo del mecenazgo de los Borja: Primeras inscripciones humanísticas en Valencia
Authors: Pons Alós Vicente
Published: June 2019

Resumen: Escritura y heráldica se convierten en un lenguaje fundamental al servicio institucional y personal de los Borja, que desde Italia llegará también a su ciudad de origen y a sus señoríos. En Xàtiva y Gandía respectivamente se conservan las primeras inscripciones humanísticas que podemos ubicar en territorio valenciano. En ambos casos se trata de piezas vinculadas a la familia Borja y las dos se encuentran en el ámbito de las colegiatas de estas dos ciudades: en la capilla dedicada a Nuestra Señora de las Fiebres, advocación romana, cuya construcción mandó llevar a cabo en 1497 Francesc de Borja, tesorero pontificio, obispo de Teano, más tarde arzobispo de Cosenza y cardenal nombrado por Alejandro VI; y en el exterior de la colegiata de Santa María de Gandía, erigida en 1499 por Alejandro VI, a ambos lados de la puerta de los Apóstoles, construida bajo los auspicios de María Enríquez, viuda sucesivamente de Pere Lluís de Borja y Joan de Borja, hermanos, I y II duques de Gandía. La duquesa viuda reemprendió el proyecto inconcluso de la colegiata que quedará acabado, como señalan las inscripciones, en 1500, bajo su mecenazgo y el de su hijo Joan de Borja, III duque.

Abstract: Writing and heraldry become a fundamental language to the institutional and personal service of the Borjas. They did not only used in Italy but also in their city of origin and their manors. Both in Xàtiva and Gandía we find the first humanistic inscriptions located in Valencian territory  In both cases they are pieces linked to the Borja family and the two are found in the collegiate area of these two cities: in the chapel dedicated to the Mare de Déu de les Febres, a Roman dedication, whose construction was ordered in 1497 by Francesc de Borja, pontifical treasurer, bishop of Teano, later archbishop of Cosenza and cardinal appointed by Alexander VI; and outside of the church of Santa María de Gandía, erected as collegiate in 1499 by Alejandro VI, on both sides of the door of the Apostles, built under the auspices of María Enríquez, widow successively of Pere Lluís de Borja and Joan de Borja, brothers, I and II Borja dukes of Gandía. The duchess widow resumed the unfinished project of the collegiate church that will be finished, as indicated by the inscriptions, in 1500, under his patronage and that of his son Joan, III Borja Duke.

La Inquisició de València contra Vicent Navarro (1750-1757), Diego Ramírez (1742) i Pedro Navarro (1588), tres casos de bestialisme
Authors: Mompó Navarro Jacob
Published: June 2019

Resum: La sodomia i el bestialisme han estat considerats al llarg de l’edat mitjana i moderna com un dels màxims exponents del pecat de luxúria. El «crim nefand», entés com una ofensa directa a Déu, va ser perseguit per diversos corpus jurídics arreu de l’Europa cristiana, i els autors del «crim contra natura» sovint eren condemnats a la foguera. Tanmateix, pel que fa als processos que ací presentem, les penes amb què els acusats van porgar els seus crims van ser més benèvoles. Aquest és el cas de Vicent Navarro, que va commutar la pena capital per la de galeres; o Pedro Navarro, que va haver de patir el desterrament. Desconeixem la sentència de Diego Ramírez, per bé que, a més de bestialisme, va ser acusat també d’hermafroditisme i sodomia. 
 
Paraules clau: bestialisme, sodomia, pecat nefand, crim contra natura, hermafroditisme
 
Abstract: Sodomy and bestiality have been considered throughout the Middle Ages and Modern Era as one of the greatest exponents of the sin of lust. The «ineffable crime», understood as a direct offense to God, was pursued by various judicial corpora throughout Christian Europe, and authors of the «crime against nature» were often condemned to the bonfire. However, regarding the processes we present here, the penalties the accused paid for their crimes became more benevolent than the death penalty. This is the case of Vicent Navarro, who exchanged capital punishment for galley penalty; or Pedro Navarro, who had to suffer from exile. We do not know the sentence of Diego Ramirez who, besides bestiality, was also accused of hermaphroditism and sodomy.
