Published: February 2021

In chronic kidney disease (CKD), the accumulation of gut-derived metabolites, such as indoxyl sulfate (IS), p-cresyl sulfate (pCS), and indole 3-acetic acid (IAA), has been associated with the burden of the disease. In this context, prebiotics emerge as a strategy to mitigate the accumulation of such compounds, by modulating the gut microbiota and production of their metabolites. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of unripe banana flour (UBF—48% resistant starch, a prebiotic) on serum concentrations of IS, pCS, and IAA in individuals undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial was conducted. Forty-three individuals on PD were randomized to sequential treatment with UBF (21 g/day) and placebo (waxy corn starch—12 g/day) for 4 weeks, or vice versa (4-week washout). The primary outcomes were total and free serum levels of IS, pCS, and IAA. Secondary outcomes were 24 h urine excretion and dialysis removal of IS, pCS, and IAA, serum inflammatory markers [high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)], serum lipopolysaccharide LPS, and dietary intake. Of the 43 individuals randomized, 26 completed the follow-up (age = 55 ± 12 years; 53.8% men). UBF did not promote changes in serum levels of IS (p = 0.70), pCS (p = 0.70), and IAA (p = 0.74). Total serum IS reduction was observed in a subgroup of participants (n = 11; placebo: median 79.5 μmol/L (31–142) versus UBF: 62.5 μmol/L (31–133), p = 0.009) who had a daily UBF intake closer to that proposed in the study. No changes were observed in other secondary outcomes. UBF did not promote changes in serum levels of IS or pCS and IAA; a decrease in IS was only found in the subgroup of participants who were able to take 21g/day of the UBF.
Trichome Biomineralization and Soil Chemistry in Brassicaceae from Mediterranean Ultramafic and Calcareous Soils
Authors: Hopewell Tyler , Selvi Federico , Ensikat Hans-Jürgen , Weigend Maximilian
Published: February 2021

Trichome biomineralization is widespread in plants but detailed chemical patterns and a possible influence of soil chemistry are poorly known. We explored this issue by investigating trichome biomineralization in 36 species of Mediterranean Brassicaceae from ultramafic and calcareous soils. Our aims were to chemically characterize biomineralization of different taxa, including metallophytes, under natural conditions and to investigate whether divergent Ca, Mg, Si and P-levels in the soil are reflected in trichome biomineralization and whether the elevated heavy metal concentrations lead to their integration into the mineralized cell walls. Forty-two samples were collected in the wild while a total of 6 taxa were brought into cultivation and grown in ultramafic, calcareous and standard potting soils in order to investigate an effect of soil composition on biomineralization. The sampling included numerous known hyperaccumulators of Ni. EDX microanalysis showed CaCO3 to be the dominant biomineral, often associated with considerable proportions of Mg—independent of soil type and wild versus cultivated samples. Across 6 of the 9 genera studied, trichome tips were mineralized with calcium phosphate, in Bornmuellera emarginata the P to Ca-ratio was close to that of pure apatite-calcium phosphate (Ca5(PO4)3OH). A few samples also showed biomineralization with Si, either only at the trichome tips or all over the trichome. Additionally, we found traces of Mn co-localized with calcium phosphate in Bornmuellera emarginata and traces of Ni were detected in trichomes of the Ni-hyperaccumulator Odontarrhena chalcidica. Our data from wild and cultivated plants could not confirm any major effect of soil chemistry on the chemistry of trichome biominerals. Hyperaccumulation of Ni in the plants is not mirrored in high levels of Ni in the trichomes, nor do we find large amounts of Mn. A comparison based on plants from cultivation (normal, calcareous and serpentine soils, Mg:Ca-ratios ca 1:2 to 1:20) shows at best a very weak reflection of different Mg:Ca-ratios in the mineralized trichomes. The plants studied seem to be able to maintain highly conserved biomineralization patterns across a wide range of soil chemistries.
Christ in Yaqui Garb: Teresa Urrea’s Christian Theology and Ethic
Authors: Ramsey Ryan
Published: February 2021

A healer, Mexican folk saint, and revolutionary figurehead, Teresa Urrea exhibited a deeply inculturated Christianity. Yet in academic secondary literature and historical fiction that has arisen around Urrea, she is rarely examined as a Christian exemplar. Seen variously as an exemplary feminist, chicana, Yaqui, curandera, and even religious seeker, Urrea’s self-identification with Christ is seldom foregrounded. Yet in a 1900 interview, Urrea makes that relation to Christ explicit. Indeed, in her healing work, she envisioned herself emulating Christ. She understood her abilities to be given by God. She even followed an ethic which she understood to be an emulation of Christ. Closely examining that interview, this essay argues that Urrea’s explicit theology and ethic is, indeed, a deeply indigenized Christianity. It is a Christianity that has attended closely to the religion’s central figure and sought to emulate him. Yet it is also a theology and ethic that emerged from her own social and geographic location and, in particular, the Yaqui social imaginary. Urrea’s theology and ethics—centered on the person of Christ—destabilized the colonial order and forced those who saw her to see Christ in Yaqui, female garb.
Advanced Fully Convolutional Networks for Agricultural Field Boundary Detection
Authors: Taravat Alireza , Wagner Matthias P. , Bonifacio Rogerio , Petit David
Published: February 2021

Accurate spatial information of agricultural fields is important for providing actionable information to farmers, managers, and policymakers. On the other hand, the automated detection of field boundaries is a challenging task due to their small size, irregular shape and the use of mixed-cropping systems making field boundaries vaguely defined. In this paper, we propose a strategy for field boundary detection based on the fully convolutional network architecture called ResU-Net. The benefits of this model are two-fold: first, residual units ease training of deep networks. Second, rich skip connections within the network could facilitate information propagation, allowing us to design networks with fewer parameters but better performance in comparison with the traditional U-Net model. An extensive experimental analysis is performed over the whole of Denmark using Sentinel-2 images and comparing several U-Net and ResU-Net field boundary detection algorithms. The presented results show that the ResU-Net model has a better performance with an average F1 score of 0.90 and average Jaccard coefficient of 0.80 in comparison to the U-Net model with an average F1 score of 0.88 and an average Jaccard coefficient of 0.77.

A Detection of Convectively Induced Turbulence Using in Situ Aircraft and Radar Spectral Width Data
Authors: Kim Jung-Hoon , Park Ja-Rin , Kim Soo-Hyun , Kim Jeonghoe , Lee Eunjeong , Baek SeungWoo , Lee Gyuwon
Published: February 2021

A commercial aircraft, departing from Seoul to Jeju Island in South Korea, encountered a convectively induced turbulence (CIT) at about z = 2.2 km near Seoul on 28 October 2018. At this time, the observed radar reflectivity showed that the convective band with cloud tops of z = 6–7 km passed the CIT region with high values of spectral width (SW; larger than 4 m s–1). Using the 1 Hz wind data recorded by the aircraft, we estimated an objective intensity of the CIT as a cube root of eddy dissipation rate (EDR) based on the inertial range technique, which was about 0.33–0.37 m2/3 s−1. Radar-based EDR was also derived by lognormal mapping technique (LMT), showing that the EDR was about 0.3–0.35 m2/3 s−1 near the CIT location, which is consistent with in situ EDR. In addition, a feasibility of the CIT forecast was tested using the weather and research forecast (WRF) model with a 3 km horizontal grid spacing. The model accurately reproduced the convective band passing the CIT event with an hour delay, which allows the use of two methods to calculate EDR: The first is using both the sub-grid and resolved turbulent kinetic energy to infer the EDR; the second is using the LMT for converting absolute vertical velocity (and its combination with the Richardson number) to EDR-scale. As a result, we found that the model-based EDRs were about 0.3–0.4 m2/3 s−1 near the CIT event, which is consistent with the estimated EDRs from both aircraft and radar observations.
Seasonal and Interannual Variability of Sea Surface Salinity Near Major River Mouths of the World Ocean Inferred from Gridded Satellite and In-Situ Salinity Products
Authors: Fournier Severine , Lee Tong
Published: February 2021

Large rivers are key components of the land-ocean branch of the global water and biogeochemical cycles. River discharges can have important influences on physical, biological, optical, and chemical processes in coastal oceans. It is, therefore, of importance to routinely monitor the time-varying dispersal patterns of river plumes. The European Space Agency (ESA) Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) and the NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellites provide Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) observations capable of characterizing the spatial and temporal variability of major river plumes. The main objective of this study is to examine the consistency of SSS products, from these two missions, and two in-situ gridded salinity products in depicting SSS variations on seasonal to interannual time scales within a few hundred kilometers of major river mouths. We show that SSS from SMOS and SMAP satellites have good consistency in depicting seasonal and interannual SSS variations near major river mouths. The two gridded in-situ products underestimate these variations substantially. This underestimation, most notably associated with the low SSS season following the high-discharge season, is attributable to the limited in-situ sampling of the river plumes when they are the most active. This work underscores the importance of using satellite SSS to study river plumes, as well as to evaluate and constrain models.
Embeddedness as a Differentiating Element of Indigenous Entrepreneurship: Insights from Mexico
Authors: Molina-Ramírez Ericka , Barba-Sánchez Virginia
Published: February 2021

The present work aims to know the motives of why Indigenous entrepreneurs start companies, as well as how the characteristics of these groups influence the motives for company creation and determine entrepreneurial behavior. Through qualitative research, using interviews from five Indigenous entrepreneurs in Mexico, and the comparative case studies, this research identifies the motivators and characteristics of Indigenous entrepreneurs, as well as community embeddedness as an element of core business, without which company creation could not happen. The results show that embeddedness, identity, comunalidad (communal way of life), and worldview contribute positively to entrepreneurial project achievements, which also impact the community itself. Recommendations for different economic and social agents, concerning supporting the sustainability of Indigenous communities, and the protection of their culture and historical legacies, are derived from this study.
Product-Service Systems and Sustainability: Analysing the Environmental Impacts of Rental Clothing
Authors: Johnson Emma , Plepys Andrius
Published: February 2021

Business models like product-service systems (PSSs) often recognise different sustainability goals and are seen as solutions for the impacts of consumption and fast fashion, but there is a lack of evidence supporting the environmental claims of such business models for clothing. The research aimed to understand if rental clothing business models such as PSSs have the environmental benefits often purported by quantifying the environmental impacts of rental formal dresses in a life-cycle assessment (LCA) in a case study in Stockholm, Sweden. The effects of varying consumer behaviour on the potential impact of a PSS vs. linear business model are explored through three functional units and 14 consumption scenarios. How users decide to engage with clothing PSSs dictates the environmental savings potential that a PSS can have, as shown in how many times consumers wear garments, how they use rental to substitute their purchasing or use needs, as well as how consumers travel to rental store locations.
An Analysis of Turbo Roundabouts from the Perspective of Sustainability of Road Transportation
Authors: Petru Jan , Krivda Vladislav
Published: February 2021

The designs of turbo roundabouts vary among countries and undesirable and potentially dangerous situations can occur for vehicles passing through the roundabout. In this article, we focus on an analysis of one of the problems within sustainable road transportation, i.e., the geometric layout of turbo roundabouts. First, we review the Czech and foreign regulations and describe the design procedures for turbo roundabouts. Studies that have been performed in the Czech Republic and abroad (the Netherlands, Slovenia, Poland, Germany, Hungary, etc.) are described. We evaluate the geometric layout of turbo roundabouts, the effectiveness of construction adjustments at the entrance to the roundabout, and an analysis of the physical separation of lanes. We present procedures and methods for measurements and assessments, which are used for evaluating the effectiveness of the geometry of a turbo roundabout. Finally, conclusions for the given hypotheses are given, as well as the importance of geometric elements (shape of the turbo roundabout, physical separation of lanes, the spike, etc.) for the actual passage of vehicles through the turbo roundabout. Furthermore, we discuss how these elements influence the safety of road traffic, the sustainability of road transportation, and the emergence of potentially dangerous situations.
Construction of the Primorsky No. 1 and No. 2 International Transport Corridors: Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Policies
Authors: Yang Yang , Dong Suocheng , Boldanov Tamir , Li Fujia , Cheng Hao , Liu Qian , Li Yu , Li Zehong
Published: February 2021

The construction of the Primorsky No. 1 and No. 2 international transport corridors is of great strategic significance to China and Russia. These corridors will solve the problem of the absence of an estuary in Northeast China by sailing from Russian ports and concurrently greatly improve Russia’s position in the world’s transport system. However, existing research studies mainly focus on the strategic significance of these corridors, while research studies on the identification, evaluation, and mitigation policies of their construction risks are rare, which inhibits the construction progress. To promote the construction of these corridors, we firstly identify the main risks in the construction of these corridors, which are economic, transport infrastructure-related, policy-related, eco-environmental, and disaster-related risks. Then, we establish a comprehensive evaluation system, and by applying the entropy method, we quantitatively evaluate the degrees of risks in regions along the transport corridors, reveal their spatial distribution patterns, and identify the key prevention and control regions for these risks. Afterwards, we propose targeted mitigation policies such as establishing innovative cooperation modes and a special foundation to mitigate economic risk and formulate further regional development policies to mitigate policy-related risk. This research will provide scientific support for risk prevention and control for the construction of these corridors.
Forage Yield and Quality of Winter Canola–Pea Mixed Cropping System
Authors: Begna Sultan , Angadi Sangamesh , Mesbah Abdel , Umesh Rangappa Mathada , Stamm Michael
Published: February 2021

Forage crop–dairy farming is an important agro-industry across the world. This system is intensive with high-input forage crops. In the United States (US) Southern Great Plains, the system is based primarily on high-input annual grass-type crops in monocropping approaches and requires diverse low-input broadleaf crops for strengthening its sustainability. Winter canola (Brassica napus L.) and pea (Pisum sativum L.) have the potential to provide forage crop diversity options with high forage yields of high quality. Winter canola and pea in mono- and mixed-cropping approaches at seeding ratios of canola/pea at 0:100, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25, and 100:0 were studied for yield and quality in 2015 and 2016 in Clovis, New Mexico (NM). Averaged over years, canola–pea at 75:25 and 50:50 seeding ratios produced similar biomass forage yield but higher than mono-pea by 43% and canola–pea at 25:75 and mono-canola cropping by 8%. The land equivalent ratio of all mixed-cropping treatments exceeded 1.0, with canola–pea at the 50:50 seeding ratio recording a land equivalent ratio of 1.15, indicating that mixed-cropping systems are better users of land resources. Total digestible nutrients and relative feed value were higher in canola–pea mixed cropping than in mono-canola and mono-pea cropping. Canola–pea mixed cropping achieved high yields (13.3 to 14.7 Mg·ha−1) with improved forage quality, as well as improved crop and land productivity, with the potential to improve mechanical harvestability of vining pea, and strengthen the diversity and sustainability of forage crop–dairy farming in the Southern Great Plains under limited irrigation input of ~300 mm.

Building Peace through Sports Projects: A Scoping Review
Authors: Clarke Felicity , Jones Aled , Smith Lee
Published: February 2021

The term peacebuilding has gained traction in academic works since introduction in the 1960s. In recent decades, sport for development and peace (SDP) has also captured the interest of the academic community, with a growing field of work. This scoping review identifies and considers the academic literature on SDP projects deployed as peacebuilding tools in post-conflict communities, to gain a greater understanding of those projects and draw inferences from them collectively. Using strict inclusion criteria, results of database searches were narrowed down to 30 publications, which the review explored through comparing the publications and their findings, to reveal the range of disciplines this research is emerging from, the countries projects are operating in, the demographics targeted, and other key data. The resulting conclusion is that there is scope for more targeted studies to clarify specific demographics to include, whether there is an ideal age to engage with youth, or an optimal timeframe for involvement. Many of the publications reference the importance of being part of broader initiatives, but the best context in which to utilise sport, and how much of an impact is being made on the wider communities, is yet to be determined.
“Double-Twist”-Based Dynamic Induction of Optical Activity in Multichromophoric System
Authors: Mądry Tomasz , Czapik Agnieszka , Kwit Marcin
Published: February 2021

The electronic circular dichroism (CD)-silent 2,5-bis(biphen-2-yl)terephthalaldehyde has been used as a sensor (reporter) of chirality for primary amines. The through-space inductor–reporter interactions force a change in the chromophore conformation toward one of the diastereomeric forms. The structure of the reporter, with the terminal flipping biphenyl groups, led to generating Cotton effects in both lower- and higher-energy regions of the ECD spectrum. The induction of an optical activity in the chromophore was due to the cascade point-to-axial chirality transmission mechanism. The reporter system turned out to be sensitive to the subtle differences in the inductor structure. Despite the size of the chiral substituent, the molecular structure of the inductor–reporter systems in the solid-state showed many similarities. The most important one was the tendency of the core part of the molecules to adapt pseudocentrosymmetric conformation. Supported by a weak dispersion and Van der Waals interactions, the face-to-face and edge-to-face interactions between the π-electron systems present in the molecule were found to be responsible for the molecular arrangement in the crystal.
The Central Effects of Botulinum Toxin in Dystonia and Spasticity
Authors: Hok Pavel , Veverka Tomáš , Hluštík Petr , Nevrlý Martin , Kaňovský Petr
Published: February 2021

In dystonic and spastic movement disorders, however different in their pathophysiological mechanisms, a similar impairment of sensorimotor control with special emphasis on afferentation is assumed. Peripheral intervention on afferent inputs evokes plastic changes within the central sensorimotor system. Intramuscular application of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) is a standard evidence-based treatment for both conditions. Apart from its peripheral action on muscle spindles, a growing body of evidence suggests that BoNT-A effects could also be mediated by changes at the central level including cerebral cortex. We review recent studies employing electrophysiology and neuroimaging to investigate how intramuscular application of BoNT-A influences cortical reorganization. Based on such data, BoNT-A becomes gradually accepted as a promising tool to correct the maladaptive plastic changes within the sensorimotor cortex. In summary, electrophysiology and especially neuroimaging studies with BoNT-A further our understanding of pathophysiology underlying dystonic and spastic movement disorders and may consequently help develop novel treatment strategies based on neural plasticity.

The etiologic agent of plague, Yersinia pestis, is a globally distributed pathogen which poses both a natural and adversarial threat. Due largely to the rapid course and high mortality of pneumonic plague, vaccines are greatly needed. Two-component protein vaccines have been unreliable and potentially vulnerable to vaccine resistance. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of eight live Y. pestis strains derived from virulent strains CO92 or KIM6+ and mutated in one or more virulence-associated gene(s) or cured of plasmid pPst. Stringent, single-dose vaccination allowed down-selection of the two safest and most protective vaccine candidates, CO92 mutants pgm- pPst- and ΔyscN. Both completely protected BALB/c mice against subcutaneous and aerosol challenge with Y. pestis. Strain CD-1 outbred mice were more resistant to bubonic (but not pneumonic) plague than BALB/c mice, but the vaccines elicited partial protection of CD-1 mice against aerosol challenge, while providing full protection against subcutaneous challenge. A ΔyscN mutant of the nonencapsulated C12 strain was expected to display antigens previously concealed by the capsule. C12 ΔyscN elicited negligible titers to F1 but comparable antibody levels to whole killed bacteria, as did CO92 ΔyscN. Although one dose of C12 ΔyscN was not protective, vaccination with two doses of either CO92 ΔyscN, or a combination of the ΔyscN mutants of C12 and CO92, protected optimally against lethal bubonic or pneumonic plague. Protection against encapsulated Y. pestis required inclusion of F1 in the vaccine and was associated with high anti-F1 titers.

Published: February 2021

A key condition for accomplishing a mission of an unmanned spacecraft consists in providing it with resources. Resources can be replenished through synergetic observations of processes in cases where measured data are partially or fully missing or lacking for some of the controlled objects by means of measuring parameters of the processes characterizing the operation of other controlled objects. As an example, the paper discusses provisioning of resources for the process of controlling the motion about the center of mass by means of synergetic observations in cases where no inertial instrument was available for measuring the angular rate vector in the system controlling the motion of the geostationary communications satellite Yamal-200. Specifically, the observation is based on the operation of transitive closure of the binary relation defined on the base set of processes in the onboard systems and ground assets for radio interactions with the onboard systems of the unmanned spacecraft.
Key words: unmanned spacecraft, control process, measuring data, binary relations, transitive closure, provision of resources.
Ionic Liquid-Based Electrolytes for Aluminum/Magnesium/Sodium-Ion Batteries
Authors: Zhu Na , Zhang Kun , Wu Feng , Bai Ying , Wu Chuan
Published: February 2021

Developing post-lithium-ion battery technology featured with high raw material abundance and low cost is extremely important for the large-scale energy storage applications, especially for the metal-based battery systems such as aluminum, sodium, and magnesium ion batteries. However, their developments are still in early stages, and one of the major challenges is to explore a safe and reliable electrolyte. An ionic liquid-based electrolyte is attractive and promising for developing safe and nonflammable devices with wide temperature ranges owing to their several unique properties such as ultralow volatility, high ionic conductivity, good thermal stability, low flammability, a wide electrochemical window, and tunable polarity and basicity/acidity. In this review, the recent emerging limitations and strategies of ionic liquid-based electrolytes in the above battery systems are summarized. In particular, for aluminum-ion batteries, the interfacial reaction between ionic liquid-based electrolytes and the electrode, the mechanism of aluminum storage, and the optimization of electrolyte composition are fully discussed. Moreover, the strategies to solve the problems of electrolyte corrosion and battery system side reactions are also highlighted. Finally, a general conclusion and a perspective focusing on the current development limitations and directions of ionic liquid-based electrolytes are proposed along with an outlook. In order to develop novel high-performance ionic liquid electrolytes, we need in-depth understanding and research on their fundamentals, paving the way for designing next-generation products.
“Maps of Non-existent Cities: St. Petersburg” by Dmitri Kourliandski: Matters Concerning Analytical Interpretation
Authors: Киреева А.Ю.
Published: February 2021

В процессе работы музыковеда с современными партитурами возникают всё новые вопросы их научного осмысления. Сложившиеся способы аналитического подхода (по принципу иерархии) требуют трансформации соответственно тому, как трансформируется и обновляется сам музыкальный язык. В статье предлагается анализ звуковой реализации ненотированной партитуры (партитуры-инструкции) Дмитрия Курляндского «Карты несуществующих городов: Санкт-Петербург» для скрипки соло, относящейся к роду так называемой интуитивной музыки, в два этапа. Звуковая реализация подобной партитуры - это импровизация, ограниченная рядом указаний композитора (инструкцией). Для того, чтобы создать «осязаемое поле», которое возможно более или менее убедительно анализировать, предлагается перевести звуковую реализацию (зафиксированную в аудио или видео формате) в графически читаемый вид. То есть создать аналитическую схему, которая позволит сделать выводы о звуковой реализации сочинения на разных уровнях. В этом заключается первый этап. На втором этапе аналитических поисков автор обращается к теории концептов (или когнитивных моделей). Поднимается вопрос об отказе от коммуникативных иерархий в сочинении через практическое применение концепта ризомы.

While working on contemporary scores the musicolo gist encounters new questions about how to comprehend them scientifically. Current analytical approaches (within hierarchical principals) always need to transform due to the fact, that the musical language is ever transforming and developing. The article presents a two-stage process analysing the performed result of the unnotated score (score with instructions) by Dmitri Kourliandski Maps of non-existent cities: St. Petersburg for solo violin, classified as intuitive music. The performance of the score is like improvisation, but restricted by the composers indications (instructions). In order to make a tangible representation of the performance, that will be more or less suited for analysing, the author suggests fixating the audio or video format graphically. That is, to create an analytical scheme, which makes it possible to make conclusions to the sounding result on different levels. That is the first of the two stages. At the second stage the author turns to the theory of concepts (orcognitive models) and raises a question about rejecting communicative hierarchies in the piece through the concept of rhizoma, applied in a practical sense.
On Tone-Painting Elements of Music Language in Vocal Chamber Music by Nikolai Medtner
Authors: Штром А.А.
Published: February 2021

Целью данной статьи является рассмотрение камерно-вокального творчества Н. К. Метнера с точки зрения живописности и звукоизобразительности. Автор вступает в полемику с критиками начала XX века, которые воспринимали метнеровскую музыку как бескрасочную и лишенную колорита. Опираясь на высказывания самого композитора в его книге «Муза и мода», проводя исполнительский анализ как фортепианной, так и вокальной партий романсов, автор статьи высвечивает звуковой образ метнеровского творчества с позиции звукописи: раскрывает звукоизобразительные элементы в фактуре таких романсов, как «Арион» op. 36 № 6, «Песнь ночи» op. 45 № 3; демонстрирует неистощимость композиторской фантазии в ритмической организации нотного текста в романсах «Телега жизни» op. 45 № 2 и «Священное место» op. 46 № 2, в повторяющихся ритмоформулах («Тишь на море» op. 15 № 7), в создании такта высшего порядка - сложного образования из тактов разного размера, расположенных друг за другом в определенной последовательности («Сумерки» op. 24 № 4), в реализации поэтического образа через лейтфактуру («Бессонница» ор. 37 № 1). В заключение статьи автор дает примеры тонкого использования как правой, так и левой педали, помогающих воплощать в музыке образы, связанные с колористической задачей.

The aim of the paper is to consider vocal chamber music by N. Medtner in relation to picturesqueness and tone-painting. The author enters the debate with music critics of the beginning of the 20th century, who perceive Medtner’s music as lacking colours, i. e. non-coloristic. To confute this opinion the author refers to the composer’s statements given in his book “Muse and Fashion” and also undertakes the analyses of Medtner’s pieces from the standpoint of tone-painting. Such analyses allows to highlight pictorial elements in the texture of “Arion” (Op. 36 No. 6) and “Night Song” (Op. 45 No. 3) and to demonstrate the inexhaustibleness of the composer’s fantasy in rhythmic organization of “The Cart of Life” (Op. 45 No. 2) and “Sacred Place” (Op. 46 No. 2), in inventing iterative rhythmic formulas in “Calm Sea” (Op. 15 No. 7), in forming of “higher-order bar” — a complex unity of bars with different time-signatures placed one after another in definite succession (“Twilight” Op. 24 No. 4), in realization of poetical image by means of leit-texture (“Vigilance” Op. 37 No. 1). In conclusion the author gives examples of exquisite coloristic use of both pedals by Medtner.
A extrema-direita brasileira: uma concepção política autoritária em formação
Authors: Aarão Reis Daniel

A vitória de Jair Bolsonaro em novembro de 2018 nas eleições que o alçaram à presidência da República no Brasil surpreendeu e criou um estado de perplexidade, próximo da catatonia, sobretudo no campo das esquerdas, mas também entre forças de centro e das direitas democráticas. Tornou-se urgente compreender a densidade histórica e o significado político do fenômeno que nos interpela com a frase da Esfinge: “decifra-me ou te devoro”.

O presente artigo tenta contribuir neste sentido e está articulado nas seguintes sessões: 1. Contexto internacional da ascensão das extremas-direitas; 2. A ascensão da extrema-direita no Brasil; 3. O caráter da extrema-direita brasileira; 4. A construção de alternativas democráticas. Palabras clave: Teoría de la historia; verdad histórica; estética.

Authors: De Paz Trueba Yolanda
Published: February 2021

En Argentina, el desarrollo económico que desde fines del siglo XIX había permitido cierta  holgura para algunos sectores sociales, excluyó a muchos, lo que se hizo particularmente evidente en el contexto de la Primera Guerra Mundial y la crisis económica  por la que atravesó el país  en esos años. Este artículo se pregunta si en un marco de inquietudes renovadas se asistió a un cambio de rumbo en las acciones sobre la infancia pobre. El trabajo propone que aunque las preocupaciones por este colectivo encontraron un eco ampliado por parte de la opinión pública y algunos sectores del arco político, en los espacios locales analizados, las prácticas concretas siguieron estando atadas a la labor benéfica católica gestionada por mujeres. En ellos, las acciones públicas  más novedosas solo se orientaron a mitigar la pobreza de las clases trabajadoras.

Los avatares de una reforma ante un federalismo en cuestión. Gobernar y legislar sobre los Territorios Nacionales en la descomposición regeneracionista del orden conservador (1910-1916)
Authors: Gallucci Lisandro
Published: February 2021

La reforma electoral promovida por Roque Sáenz Peña ha representado el principal objeto de interés de la historiografía sobre el periodo entre 1910 y 1916. Menor atención se ha dado a otras cuestiones que los contemporáneos sin embargo consideraban entre los problemas de mayor importancia. Es el caso de los que se identificaban en torno al régimen federal, objeto de numerosas controversias políticas e intelectuales. Aquí se busca contribuir al tema a partir de una de las aristas específicas del federalismo argentino como fue de la condición institucional de los Territorios Nacionales y su eventual admisión como nuevas provincias.
Trayectos y articulaciones socio-políticas en el teatro independiente santafesino, c. 1966-1984
Authors: Alonso Luciano
Published: February 2021

Este artículo intenta presentar un desarrollo general del teatro independiente en la ciudad de Santa Fe, Argentina, hacia las décadas de 1960-1980. Se destaca la formación de una comunidad teatral en el seno de articulaciones socio-políticas complejas, como ser vínculos de clases medias variadas y una relación ambivalente con las reparticiones estatales, incluso en los períodos dictatoriales. Ese marco temporal extendido permite relativizar y al mismo tiempo afirmar la excepcionalidad de la última dictadura militar, destacando los canales por los que pudieron expresarse subjetividades disidentes en el contexto de una gubernamentalidad autoritaria.
Tecnologías de identificación y clasificación social: el Fondo de Prontuarios Policiales del Chubut
Authors: Tapia Adalma , Chávez Matías , Vezub Julio
Published: February 2021

Este artículo describe el Fondo de Prontuarios Policiales del Chubut (FPPC), contextualizando la producción de los documentos que lo componen, y caracterizando las tecnologías de identificación que se emplearon para clasificar la población y controlarla conforme a la legislación nacional y los tratados internacionales suscritos por la Argentina. Se destaca el valor del Fondo, considerando que los prontuarios ofrecen información de síntesis sobre miles de habitantes del Chubut con fechas extremas de documentación desde fines del siglo XIX. Finalmente, se argumenta que este repositorio presenta potencialidades para diferentes líneas de investigación, considerando la diversidad tipológica y sus magnitudes.
La ideología y la camiseta: los exiliados argentinos ante el Mundial 78
Authors: Gómez Antonio
Published: February 2021

Las comunidades de exiliados argentinos en los setenta fueron muy activas en su denuncia del programa dictatorial, especialmente respecto de los abusos de derechos humanos, pero su activismo fue menos prominente respecto de la celebración de la copa mundial de fútbol en Argentina en 1978. El boicot del evento propuesto desde Francia tuvo muy poca repercusión entre los exiliados, contradicción que explicaron disociando la lógica política de la deportiva, o prefirieron dejar sin explicación. Sin embargo, en el corpus de textos del exilio, el Mundial tiene una presencia casi nula. Osvaldo Soriano opta por una representación alegórica del evento en su novela Cuarteles de invierno.

La síntesis textual del tiempo

En este trabajo se proponeconsiderar una perspectiva gramatical dela temporalidad que proyecta laarticulación de representacioneslingüísticas de situaciones que,prototípicamente, son realizadas porverbos y que, a través de la ampliación dela densidad léxica de los textos queprovienen de discursos científicos odidácticos, son desarrolladas pormetáforas gramaticales (Colombi, 2000).Se propone un análisis de las formas deorganización lingüística y de sureordenamiento en la lectura a partir delas categorías de la temporalidad enfunción de la interrelación que asumenlas situaciones entre sí en laconformación de texto, a través de suparticipación en una sintaxis en la queadquieren su valor relativo, desde laconsideración de la situación deenunciación. Para este análisis se parte deuna construcción textual que es descritapara la elaboración de una serie decategorías de la gramática de latemporalidad en proyección textual quese aplicarán luego a la lectura de un textode educación secundaria en Historia.
José Pedroni en los años 50:
Authors: Alle María Fernanda
Published: February 2021

En 1943, en su antología Poetas sociales de la Argentina, Álvaro Yunque ubicaba al santafesino José Pedroni bajo la rúbrica de “poetas del descontento campesino”; categoría que situaba dos escalones antes que la de “poetas comunistas”, el eslabón más alto de la “poesía social”. No obstante, la destacada visibilidad que cobra la poesía de Pedroni en las principales revistas del PCA, o ligadas a su órbita, en la década del 50, parece indicar un rápido desplazamiento ascendente hacia el lugar de “poeta comunista”. En este artículo indago la centralidad de Pedroni en el marco de los programas literarios que formulan, discuten y promueven los escritores e intelectuales del PCA en los años 50. Tanto la figura pública que construyó Pedroni como las búsquedas expresivas y temáticas de su poesía, asociadas a lo que Amaro Villanueva define en un artículo sobre su obra como el “verdadero color local”, constituyeron un anclaje ejemplar de esos programas que, en el contexto de la recepción de la doctrina zhdanovista, llamaban de recuperar las tradiciones nacionales y promovían la “identificación fraternal” con los “dramas” del pueblo.

Interfaces y lenguaje:
Authors: Bassano Marcela
Published: February 2021

En el marco del Minimalismo Biolingüístico, tanto la naturaleza como el contenido y el lugar en el diseño del lenguaje de la interfaz conceptual-intencional han suscitado una serie de reformulaciones que no solo han impactado en las relaciones entre el lenguaje y el pensamiento sino, fundamentalmente, en la pregunta acerca de qué es el lenguaje. En este trabajo no proponemos abordar el devenir de esos distintos estadios de la formulación de dicha interfaz en relación a la interfaz sensorio-motora, por un lado, y los aspectos evolutivos del lenguaje humano por el otro. En relación a esto trabajaremos los desarrollos del propio Chomsky como así también la manera en la que han impactado los argumentos de Hinzen en la determinación del estatuto de la interfaz conceptual-intencional y en las últimas especulaciones chomskianas en su trabajo escrito conjuntamente con Berwick en el 2016.

Cruces genéricos y de materias narrativas. Motivos tradicionales en Le Roman D’Auberon y Huon de Bordeaux
Authors: Lacalle Juan Manuel
Published: February 2021

El presente artículo se detendrá en el análisis de Le roman d'Auberon y, de manera satelital, en Huon de Bordeaux, textos que concluyen y dan inicio, respectivamente, al ciclo de Huon de Bordeaux. Nuestra hipótesis es que Auberon funciona narrativamente como el personaje conciliatorio por excelencia, ya que no solo colabora de forma determinante con la finalización del conflicto entre el señor y su vasallo en Huon de Bordeaux (Huon vuelve del exilio y se reconcilia con Carlomagno gracias, principalmente, a Auberon), sino que, además, confluyen en su figura diversas tradiciones medievales literario-discursivas (que entran en juego genéricamente como cantar de gesta y roman) y culturales (relacionadas con las materias bretona, francesa y romana). En esta ocasión, nos focalizaremos sobre una de las herramientas formales a través de la que se plasma esta hibridez: la variedad de motivos.
presente. Fascinación y decepción en la escritura ensayística de Baudelaire
Authors: Surghi Carlos
Published: February 2021

El presente trabajo propone una lectura de la estética de Baudelaire desde tres figuras que conforman una fantasmática del sujeto de escritura: la fascinación, la expectativa y la decepción ante “lo nuevo”. Por medio de ellas, evidentes en los ensayos, la prosa y la poesía de Baudelaire, como así también en sus figuraciones biográficas, sus registros del presente y su veneración de la tradición, es que las imágenes, el culto de la analogía y la melancolía ante la distinción de aquel objeto que desaparece, permiten reconocer una definición de “lo moderno” que no es más que la embriagues de la interpretación. De este modo, la estética baudeleriana podría entenderse como una vitalidad que se consume, una afirmación que en si misma lleva su principio de negación, una orientación que a la vez fascina y decepciona, pero que inevitablemente, conduce hacia el silencio de la ruina como figura metafísica en el presente.
música de Baudelaire
Authors: Cueto Sergio
Published: February 2021

A partir de una lectura del poema “La música”, y a través de referencias a otros lugares de la obra baudelairiana, se intenta situar el pensamiento musical de Baudelaire, es decir, aquél que resulta disonante respecto de su reflexión crítica (particularmente respecto de la música wagneriana) y que, entendemos, se encabalga entre el infinito de la Sehnsucht romántica y la crispación del Spleen moderno.
DECISION STRATEGY CONCEPT TO IMPROVE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OF RURAL HOUSEHOLDS
Authors:   Volga Research Institute of Economics and the Organization of the Agro-Industrial Complex, Volokhova M.A.
Published: February 2021

Modern conditions for the development of market relations leave a significant imprint on all main aspects of rural life. The socio-economic situation of rural households is dangerously dependent on the fluctuations of various institutions, be it the labor institution, the food market or the production system. Under these conditions, increasing attention is being paid to the development of targeted programs to improve the living standard and the socio-economic situation of the population in rural settlements. The article discusses a methodological approach to assess the living standards of rural settlements in the context of municipal districts of the Saratov region, in particular, the Samoilovsky municipality. Basing on the participatory approach, categories of the rural population are determined by income level and a direct correlation dependence of the demographic situation (birth rate, mortality, migration rate) and the level of rural household income are revealed. The parameters of the resource of patience and the boundaries of the passive expectation for the poor and impoverished layers of the rural population, as well as the prerequisites for the passivity of the able-bodied population to participate in the processes of increasing their own well-being and well-being of others are determined. The conditions and parameters of the property status compelling the activation of the use of internal material and social sources of income are revealed. Three levels of decision-making strategies for improving the financial situation of the family are distinguished: employees, employers (agricultural enterprises and K(F)X), authorities (district administration). As a result, a concept of a decision-making strategy was developed to improve the material situation of households in rural settlements of the Saratov region. The economic factor (the size of wages) has one of the decisive effects on all the demographic processes taking place in society.
