Genus-Sexus-Inkongruenz in der Bezeichnungspraxis.
Authors: Stocker Christa
Published: May 2021

Nouns referring to persons are “vehicles of our thoughts” (Hermanns 2012b: 62). As labels, they refer to social categories, thereby both reflecting social realities and preserving them at the same time. If social realities change, language usage changes as well. With the abandonment of a historical concept, the designation associated with it also loses its rich semantic filling. The semantic filling, however, can be reconstructed from a historical perspective using a context-sensitive text and discourse analysis.

This article aims to reconstruct Backfisch – the designation and social category for teenage girls in the second half of the 19th century – with surprising findings: German designations for teenage girls display a habitual mismatch between grammatical gender and sex. While this incongruency is common, it is not accidental. Instead, it continuously transports semantic features, both in the neuter, with the reification of adolescent girls that conform to their female gender role, and in the masculine, with male category-bound features of Backfische, whose behaviour conflicts with the expectancies that a female gender role evokes. Masculine gender is thus a manifestation of behaviour deviant from a gender role but nevertheless positively evaluated. A possible reason for this are the category-bound male features – assessed positively – that are transferred to the female Backfisch category and that have the effect of a temporary status enhancement.

In rural speech communities, when speakers refer to persons, their family of origin is omnipresent, not only by passing on the name of the family patriarch, but also in the serialization of surname and first name and in the grammatical structures of reference forms (der Müller Peter, s Müllers Peter). This paper portrays the diachronic development of reference forms and elaborates on their preservation in synchronic reference systems. Furthermore, it explores a referent’s linguistic categorization into social groups and shows that different grammatical structures foreground certain distinctions, which can also overlap.

In rural villages, inofficial house names, derived from the patriarch’s first name or profession, are still in use. When an individual marries into another house, the reference to this person can change accordingly.
Red Monday: The Silencing of Claudia Jones in 20th Century Feminist Revolutionary Thought
Authors: Lindsey Lydia
Published: May 2021

The Cold War muzzled Claudia Jones' voice, one of the most significant women of the twentieth century, but the rediscovery of her writings and activism offers us new challenges to understanding her epistemology in the 21st century, especially in regard to ‘super-exploitation’ and tripartite sense of oppression, both of which are at the root of intersectionality. The concept of tripartite oppression is intergenerational. In recent years, Jones has been credited with popularizing the idea of the triple oppression of Black women based on their race, class, and gender, but Louise Thompson Patterson used the term in an essay, in the same year that Jones joined the Communist Party. Patterson appears to use the term triply-oppressed in reference to reforming, the conditions of domestic workers. Whereas Jones' writings and activism connected tripartite ideology to the peace movement. Jones linked the questions of race, class, and gender, to anti-colonialism, anti-imperialism, and anti-fascism into a singular struggle to attain peace that would create an egalitarian society which makes her the mother of global revolutionary thought. The concept of triply-oppressed is not static. It embodies a degree of dynamism as it situates in the context of time and space; so that in the twenty-first century lexicon the concept is expressed in terms of intersectionality.
Women Crusade for Peace: Claudia Jones and the Cold War Peace Movement
Authors: Lynn Denise
Published: May 2021

After World War II, peace became a central tenet of the Black freedom struggle. But it was also a liability to be associated with peace because the Soviet Union was a major advocate of the peace movement during the Cold War. Claudia Jones, a communist leader and theoretician, was an outspoken, vocal advocate for peace. She argued that war and nuclear weaponry were capitalist tools to limit freedom struggles, contain non-white populations globally, and undermine women's liberties. She argued for women's leadership in the peace movement and advocated a gendered internationalism. Jones, an immigrant herself, believed that American women should advocate for peace beyond national boundaries to secure their own independence, freedom, and equality. This was a particular imperative for Black and colonized women, who, Jones argued, were the most oppressed strata. In order to free all working people and secure a global alliance, women had to become leaders in the peace movement. She saw peace as a necessary prerequisite to undermining capitalist power and reach the full potential of a socialist state. Her advocacy and leadership in the peace movement came at great personal cost. Jones would be arrested, convicted, and deported for her determined political advocacy, all the while her health declined, leading to her premature death. This article argues that Jones's gendered internationalism and peace were central tenets in her vision of a socialist future.
Double-path parallel convolutional neural network for removing speckle noise in different types of OCT images
Authors: Shen Zhengjie , Xi Manhui , Tang Chen , Xu Min , Lei Zhenkun
Published: May 2021

Speckle noises widely exist in optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. We propose an improved double-path parallel convolutional neural network (called DPNet) to reduce speckles. We increase the network width to replace the network depth to extract deeper information from the original OCT images. In addition, we use dilated convolution and residual learning to increase the learning ability of our DPNet. We use 100 pairs of human retinal OCT images as the training dataset. Then we test the DPNet model for denoising speckles on four different types of OCT images, mainly including human retinal OCT images, skin OCT images, colon crypt OCT images, and quail embryo OCT images. We compare the DPNet model with the adaptive complex diffusion method, the curvelet shrinkage method, the shearlet-based total variation method, and the OCTNet method. We qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate these methods in terms of image smoothness, structural information protection, and edge clarity. Our experimental results prove the performance of the DPNet model, and it allows us to batch and quickly process different types of poor-quality OCT images without any parameter fine-tuning under a time-constrained situation.
Input pulse duration effect on laser-induced underwater acoustic signals
Authors: Yellaiah J. , Prem Kiran P.
Published: May 2021

The characteristics of laser-induced underwater acoustic signals (UASs) generated by focused 10 ns and 30 ps laser pulses of different energies under similar experimental conditions are compared. Time domain signals and time–frequency analysis of the UASs were used to understand the role of input pulse duration and energy on the evolution of UAS. In the time domain, the peak-to-peak (

of both direct and reflected signals simultaneously. The spectrogram revealed that the transient UAS has broad acoustic spectra spanning from 10 to 800 kHz, perpendicular to the laser propagation direction. The initial acoustic impulse resulted in two major frequencies centered around 105 and 690 kHz with a standard error of 30 kHz. Upon reflection from the water–air interface, only the peak frequency corresponding to

Behavioural mimicry as an indicator of affiliation
Authors: Manrique Héctor M. , Marín Antonio , Nieto-Alemán Paula Andrea , Read Dwight W. , Hernández-Jaramillo Janeth , García-Palacios Azucena , Zeidler Henriette
Published: May 2021

Previous research has shown that behavioural mimicry fosters affiliation, and can be used to infer whether people belong to the same social unit. However, we still know very little about the generalizability of these findings and the individual factors involved. The present study intends to disentangle two important variables and assess their importance for affiliation: the matching in time of the behaviours versus their matching in form. In order to address this issue, we presented participants with short videos in which two actors displayed a set of small movements (e.g. crossing their legs, folding their arms, tapping their fingers) arranged to be either contingent in time or in form. A dark filter was used to eliminate ostensive group marks, such us phenotype or clothing. Participants attributed the highest degree of affiliation to the actors when their subsequent movements matched in form, but were delayed by 4–5 seconds, and the lowest degree when the timing of their movements matched, but they differed in form. To assess the generalizability of our findings, we took our study outside the usual Western context and tested a matching sample of participants from a traditional small-scale society in Kenya. In all, our results suggest that movements are used to judge the degree of affiliation between two individuals in both large- and small-scale societies. While moving in different ways at the same time seems to increase the perceived distance between two individuals, movements which match in form seem to invoke closeness.

Published: May 2021

Atopic dermatitis is one of the most common skin diseases in dogs. Pathogenesis is complex and incompletely understood. Skin colonizing bacteria likely play an important role in the severity of this disease. Studying the canine skin microbiota using traditional microbiological methods has many limitations which can be overcome by molecular procedures. The aim of this study was to describe the bacterial microbiota of the skin and ear canals of healthy non-allergic and allergic German shepherd dogs (GSDs) without acute flare or concurrent skin infection and to compare both. Bacterial 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequence data revealed no differences of bacterial community patterns between the different body sites (axilla, front dorsal interdigital skin, groin, and ear canals) in non-allergic dogs. The microbiota at the different body sites of non-allergic GSDs showed no significant differences. Only for the samples obtained from the axilla the bacterial microbiota of allergic dogs was characterized by a lower species richness compared to that of non-allergic dogs and the bacterial community composition of the skin and ear canals of allergic dogs showed body site specific differences compared to non-allergic dogs. Actinobacteria was the most abundant phylum identified from the non-allergic dogs and Proteobacteria from allergic dogs. Macrococcus spp. were more abundant on non-allergic skin while Sphingomonas spp. were more abundant on the allergic skin. Forward step redundancy analysis of metadata indicated that the household the dogs came from had the strongest impact on the composition of the skin microbiome followed by sex, host health status and body site.

A recipe development process model designed to support a crop’s sensory qualities
Authors: Westling Magnus , Wennström Stefan , Öström Åsa
Published: May 2021

The aim of this study is to apply a recipe development process designed to unfold how to start from a crop – especially less known landraces and varieties – and maximize its culinary utility. How can such a recipe development process be modelled? What more than the recipe itself can be obtained from the recipe development process? In this study, the objective is to create a basic recipe for grey peas that supports the crop’s sensory qualities, and test it in different food products. Using the recipe development process model, our results suggest that minced grey peas, which have authentic nutty flavours, pronounced chewing resistance and a combination of soft and hard textures, can be used to create appealing plant-based patties. When minced grey peas are fried in oil, greater taste intensity, spiciness, umami and complexity are achieved. Additional applications of minced grey peas were also identified, suggesting that the recipe development process can yield information on how to develop another food product with the same basic recipe. The recipe development process we suggest – the culinary funnel – can thus be used to explore the culinary possibilities of lesser known landraces and varieties.
Perspectives on technologies and care relations, illustrated by a narrative on food care1
Authors: Voskuil Dorien W. , Fleurke Matthijs
Published: May 2021

We present a model and a narrative on food care to support reflection and dialogue, i.e. the exchange of ideas or opinions between patients, informal caregivers and care professionals, as a way to specifically explore values and perspectives on the use of technologies within care triads. To this end, we used an explorative literature study and an analysis of a care practice. We propose that care professionals have the responsibility to be sensitive to and act on potential dilemmas with the use of technologies in (food) care practice. This requires explicit thinking about one’s own personal perspectives on health and food, care and technologies, and the possible perspectives of others, in achieving a fair balance in care. The ‘Dilemma Model of Technology and Care Relations’ is presented to facilitate dialogue between patients, informal caregivers and professionals, in healthcare as well as in (food) technology. The model can be used both in the workplace and in educational settings. In conclusion, contrasting values and perspectives show that an open dialogue is needed to decide what is good (food) care in each individual care practice.
Between attraction and aversion: How designers can use the concept of disgust to influence food consumption
Authors: Lemke Mailin , Boon Boudewijn , Schifferstein Hendrik N. J.
Published: May 2021

Disgust is a strong emotion of aversion. In the context of food, it is often referred to as a guardian of the mouth, preventing close contact with pathogens and the accidental consumption of poisons. However, disgust can also create a certain level of attraction and be part of positive experiences, even in the context of food. In this article, we discuss different ways of using disgust to influence eating behaviour and contribute to healthier food consumption. We outline ten different bridging concepts accompanied by various design exemplars on how to use disgust in the context of critical food design. In addition, we present four different lenses that can help to refine the design concepts.
Between mass-market conventions and everyday life: The domestication of dining furniture in urban Istanbul
Authors: Nasır Esra Bici
Published: May 2021

Although dining tables and chairs function as the main furniture stereotypes valued for hosting in traditional Turkish households, this practice has been subject to changes and challenges in contemporary urban life in Istanbul. This qualitative study of dining furniture brings insights into the design, production, purchase and use of furnishings from a broad review of literature and from semi-structured in-depth interviews undertaken in the homes of young urban professionals in Istanbul between the years 2013 and 2016. Prescribed as indispensable stereotypes in the furniture retail stores and considered as essential domestic units by the interviewees, dining tables and chairs are found out as not fulfilling their intended hosting functions efficiently or being often replaced by centre tables or coffee tables, because of an increase in casual rather than formal occasions. Domestication of the dining table as an open buffet was considered a practical way to help hold the food and drinks that were also on couches and coffee tables. In addition, the dining table was used for completely different functions unrelated to eating, as study desks or as surfaces for folding and ironing laundry, whereas dining chairs were used as places to drape coats or clothing. Interrogating the disconnect between the consumption and use context of the dining suites yields deeper discussion about the level of intellectual capital of Turkish furniture industry and the consumer culture which advices the enactment of norms. Insights in these complex, changing and sometimes contradictory patterns may influence the design of domestic furnishings in Turkey. Therefore, more user-based design research and a further examination of contemporary patterns of use in urban households are needed to activate this potential for the Turkish furniture design industry.
Trusting and valuing news in a pandemic: Attitudes to online news media content during COVID-19 and policy implications
Authors: Flew Terry
Published: May 2021

While the global Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic led to significant growth in news consumption, this did not translate into either greater trust or an improved financial situation for news providers. At a time when disinformation has become a key concern with regards to public health messaging, this mistrust of mainstream news media has potentially disastrous consequences for public communication in a time of urgent public health concerns. The article explores five issues for the study of news and trust, including the impact of digital platforms, the accountability revolution, the crisis of news media business models, the power-shift within media to platforms in the time of COVID-19, and the turn to subscription-based media. The latter raises critical issues around the value of news, and the future relationship between subscriptions, advertising revenue and public funding in the future of news publication and distribution.
Cybertarianism further exposed: Chile, Colombia, Mexico and the COVID-19 conjuncture
Authors: Ramos André Dorcé , Uribe-Jongbloed Enrique , Utman Jorge Antonio Saavedra , Miller Toby
Published: May 2021

Chile, Colombia and Mexico have long been at the heart of neo-liberal experimentation and cybertarian fantasy. The former has denuded their ability to meet the needs of the citizenry in general, the latter to provide a democratic media. The contemporary pandemic has put these deregulated, privatized economies under particular strain – market solutions to social problems have proven dramatically, drastically, predictably inefficient. In the sphere of education, the isolation of school pupils and workers, mandated in the interest of public health, has driven a return to public broadcasting. Combined with mass public agitation and media-reform movements, that provides hope for a new landscape.
Brand as a marketing tool for growth in organic sales: Evidence from Ukraine
Authors: Koshkalda Iryna , Bezuhla Liudmyla , Nihmatova Olena , Ilchenko Tetiana
Published: May 2021

This article examines the role of a brand as a marketing tool for improving the sales of organic products. The study observes the features of the organic brand, namely consumer awareness, trust and brand communications, which influence the purchasing behaviour of consumers. Research shows the relevance of brand development for smallhold farmers’ association in the Ukrainian organic market. Preliminary data on brand-forming factors influencing consumer behaviour were collected by a survey of Ukrainian consumers. The results of the survey revealed a low level of awareness about organic products: 68 per cent of respondents were not familiar with its characteristics. The study presents the conceptual basis of the business model of brand association, and the conditions of its implementation by smallhold farmers who collectively sell an organic product. The authors argue that the implementation of this business model will improve smallhold farmers’ position in the Ukrainian organic market by building dynamic and systematic interactions with consumers.
El proyecto holístico de Emma Kunz: cuando el arte se convierte en algo más
Authors: Sarriugarte Gomez Iñigo
Published: May 2021

La artista suiza Emma Kunz (1892-1963) desarrolló una nutrida producción de patrones energéticos, que asumían una cercanía visual y simbólica con yantras y mandalas. Aunque no se han encontrado datos fehacientes al respecto, de acuerdo a la bibliografía consultada, así como a las aportaciones realizadas por el propio museo de la creadora, se cree que llegó a manejar la literatura alquímica de Paracelso y textos cristianos, así como fuentes escritas de escuelas herméticas. La gran mayoría de sus gráficos se elaboraron con objetivos terapéuticos, en la creencia de que emitían una onda de forma que podía afectar al paciente o espectador cuando se contemplaban.

Los canales de Las Médulas (León-España): razones para su inclusión en el Patrimonio de la Humanidad
Authors: Matías Rodríguez Roberto
Published: May 2021

La declaración en 1997 de la explotación aurífera romana de Las Médulas como Patrimonio de la Humanidad supuso un merecido reconocimiento a la mayor explotación minera del Mundo Antiguo. Sin embargo, esta declaración pasó por alto el conjunto de esta magnífica obra de ingeniería, centrándose únicamente en el singular paraje de picachos rojos, residuos de los trabajos de extracción. De este modo, quedaron al margen los canales de abastecimiento de agua, imprescindibles para poder realizar el derrumbe de la montaña, sistema que el naturalista romano Plinio denomina arrugia, y permitir la recuperación del oro en los canales de lavado. En ese momento, parece ser que los canales fueron considerados como una obra menor y se encontraban muy escasamente documentados, con la carencia absoluta de una topografía adecuada, a pesar de ser ampliamente conocidos por los naturales de la zona. No es hasta el año 2004 cuando se publica la primera cartografía de detalle, que arroja ya la sorprendente cifra de 600 km de canales, sucesivamente ampliados con nuevas investigaciones y hallazgos en el 2008 y 2017, por lo que se alcanzan ya los 700 km de recorrido. A las Médulas llegaban algunos canales de 147 y 124 km, que corroboran las cifras de cien millas que menciona Plinio. Este último canal realizó un importante trasvase de aguas de la Cuenca del Duero a la Cuenca del Sil. La estructura de abastecimiento desvela la existencia de distintas fases de trabajo en el yacimiento aurífero y un detalle muy importante: la explotación se interrumpió por agotamiento. La magnitud de esta obra de ingeniería, imprescindible para la existencia de las propias Médulas, no puede pasar desapercibida, y sin duda merece el reconocimiento homónimo que ya ha recibido el objeto para el que fue construido.
Construir el territorio desde la economía social y solidaria y el feminismo: proyecto «Quédate»
Authors: Real Castelao Sara , Solórzano García Marta , Rodríguez Guzmán Ana Pilar
Published: May 2021

La despoblación de las zonas rurales en la Comarca de El Bierzo, marcada por el cierre de la minería dibuja un perfil sociodemográfico de población envejecida, cierre de servicios y pérdida de tradiciones y oficios de la zona. Las propuestas de inversión económicas industriales han dejado fuera a estas zonas y han provocado una migración de población en edad activa a entornos urbanos, de manera similar a otras zonas de España. Como alternativa a estos modelos de economía capitalista, existen modelos que promueven el desarrollo territorial, el trabajo en red y ponen en el centro de la economía a las personas, tales como los que promueve la economía social y solidaria. Este modelo comparte con el feminismo postulados que proponen nuevas construcciones sociales del territorio que no excluyan a ninguna persona y que tengan en consideración el medio en el que se desarrollan. Tomando como referencia la zona y estos postulados, se analiza el proyecto «Quédate», proyecto social desarrollado por AFA Bierzo, cuyo objetivo es la mejora de la calidad de vida de personas que viven en entornos rurales, dando respuesta a sus necesidades con una atención integral de servicios que, a su vez, crea empleos para personas que viven en esos ambientes. En sus cinco años de desarrollo, además de conseguir fijar población se ha logrado la atracción a la zona de emprendedoras que ofrecen servicios desde diversas áreas desde la promoción de objetivos de la economía social y solidaria y el feminismo. Se destaca como clave de éxito apostar por estos modelos que ponen en el centro a las personas y su medio y así como contar con alianzas entre las instituciones públicas y asociaciones para poder desarrollar los objetivos y mantenerlos.
Where do international opportunities come from and where does literature go?
Authors: Silva Rennaly Alves da , Primo Marcos André Mendes
Published: May 2021

Purpose/Objective: This article aims to conduct a bibliometric study in order to analyze how the literature on international opportunities has addressed the issues surrounding its identification and origin. Method: A matrix was elaborated considering two fundamental aspects in the discussions on the theme: (1) how international opportunities are identified: created or discovered; and (2) the origin of the international opportunity: internal or external. Then, a bibliometric study was carried out, with an adaptation of the steps proposed by Ellegaard and Wallin (2015). The selected articles were classified in the proposed matrix. Originality/Relevance: This article innovates by developing an analytical tool that allows, through bibliometric study, the perception of how the literature on international opportunities has focused on some aspects and neglected others that could be complementary in the analysis, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the phenomena and closer to reality. Results: The literature has focused on opportunities discovered by an internal source of the company, such as the ability of managers to identify international opportunities; and neglected the opportunities created, mainly by an internal source, such as in processes of effectuation. Theoretical/methodological contributions: The contributions of this study reside, therefore, in the development of a matrix that represents, in a simple and objective way, the core of the discussions in the area, which involves origin and identification of international opportunities. In addition, the bibliometric study indicates the paths that have been taken by scholars in the area, as well as allowing to discuss potential themes for future studies.

Evaluation of Physicochemical, Spectral and Thermal Properties of Energy of Consciousness Healing Treated Iron Sulphate
Authors: Trivedi Mahendra Kumar , Jana Snehasis
Published: May 2021

Iron sulphate is used in the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia and other chronic disorders such as heart and kidney diseases. This study has the objective to analyze the impact of The Trivedi Effect®-Energy of Consciousness Healing Treatment on the physicochemical, spectroscopic and thermal properties of iron sulphate using various analytical techniques. In this, the test compound, i.e., iron sulphate was divided into two parts; one as control (without Biofield Energy Treatment), and the other as Biofield Energy Treated, which received the Biofield Energy Treatment remotely by the renowned Healer, Mr. Mahendra Kumar Trivedi. The PXRD analysis of the Biofield Energy Treated sample showed significant alterations in the range of -39.49 to 301.40% in the relative intensities, and from -15.40 to 33.36% in the crystallite sizes, compared with the control sample. The average crystallite size of the treated sample was also increased by 4.98% as compared to the control sample. The particle sizes in the treated sample at d10, d50, d90 and D(4,3) values were significantly increased by 67.12%, 47.72%, 33.18% and 42.01%, respectively; whereas, the specific surface area was significantly reduced by 38.39%, compared with the control sample. The TGA thermograms showed three steps of thermal degradation in which, the weight loss of Biofield Energy Treated sample in the first and second step was reduced by 5.82% and 16.09%, respectively, while, it was increased by 6.78% in the third step, compared to the control sample. The total weight loss in the treated sample was also reduced by 2.76%, along with slight alteration in the maximum thermal decomposition temperature, compared with the control sample. The DSC analysis showed the decrease in the melting temperatures of the 1st, 2nd and 4th peaks by 8.24%, 19.29%, and 0.61%, respectively, while 4.57% increase in the 3rd peak of the treated sample, compared with the control sample. The latent heat of fusion (ΔH) corresponding to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th peaks of the treated sample also showed alterations by -92.29, -86.29, 60.92, and 6.37%, respectively, compared with the control sample. The Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment might produce a novel polymorphic form of iron sulphate having increased crystallite and particle size along with enhanced thermal stability. It may help in improving the quality, safety and stability during the process of handling, storage, and shipment of the iron sulphate with better therapeutic response against iron deficiency anaemia.

Ascorbic acid is a water-soluble vitamin (Vitamin C) essential for both the plants and animals for the metabolic process. In this study, the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analytical technique was used to characterize the structural properties and isotopic abundance ratio to evaluate the effect of the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment on L-ascorbic acid compared to the control sample. The ascorbic acid sample was divided into control and treated parts. Only the treated part received the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment remotely by a well-known Biofield Energy Healer, Mahendra Kumar Trivedi. The control and treated samples showed a chromatographic peak at retention time (Rt) 1.8 minutes exhibited the deprotonated molecular ion peak at m/z 175 (M-H)- (calculated for C6H7O6-, 175.02) in the mass spectra. The peak area of the treated sample (12817614.01) was significantly increased by 8.81% compared to the control sample (11779918.9). The LC-MS based isotopic abundance ratio of PM+1/PM (2H/1H or 13C/12C or 17O/16O) in the treated ascorbic acid was significantly increased by 23.22% compared with the control sample. Thus,13C, 2H, and17O contributions from (C6H7O6)- to m/z 176 in the treated ascorbic acid were significantly increased compared with the control sample. The increased isotopic composition of the treated ascorbic acid might have altered the neutron to proton ratio in the nucleus. The changes in isotopic abundance could be due to changes in nuclei possibly through the interference of neutrino particles via the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment. The increased isotopic abundance ratio and peak area of the treated ascorbic acid may increase the intra-atomic bond strength and its stability. This novel ascorbic acid after the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment would be very useful to design more efficacious pharmaceutical formulations against scurvy, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, cancer, etc.
Imaginario y representación en la formación del léxico colonial de Tocantins
Authors: Andrade Karylleila Santos
Published: May 2021

La lengua tupí es la responsable por la formación de la toponimia brasileña en los primeros siglos después del “descubrimiento” de Brasil. En Goiás, antigua Tierra de Goyases, el período de las entradas y de las bandeiras, expediciones conducidas especialmente por los colonos paulistas y las expediciones de los Jesuitas por los ríos Araguaia y Tocantins, favorecieron la formación de la toponimia en esa región. Es cierto que por donde pasaban los pueblos indígenas, que hablaban lenguas del tronco tupí, denominaban la realidad circundante a fin de demarcar los espacios del paisaje local (elementos físicos: ríos, arroyos, sierras etc. y elementos humanos y/o culturales (campamentos, pueblos, juzgados, etc.) con diversos intereses, entre ellos, la conquista de territorios. El presente artículo tiene como propuesta ofrecer lecturas sobre la formación de la toponimia colonial en la Provincia de Goiás teniendo en vista que el poblamiento de la región se dio, particularmente, por los ríos Araguaia y Tocantins. Además, tenemos la intención de presentar una posible lectura de esa formación a partir de datos documentales de la “existencia” del pueblo indígena denominado Tocantins. Los procedimientos metodológicos utilizados fueron la investigación bibliográfica y documental (mapas y documentos de los siglos XVI, XVII y XVIII). Los autores Sampaio (1987), Flores (2009), Casal (1845), Ferreira (1960), Palacin, Garcia e Amado (1995) se toman como fuentes de la investigación bibliográfica.
Projeto ATOEPE

Published: May 2021

Os estudos sobre Toponímia no Estado de Pernambuco são escassos, a despeito de poucas dissertações e trabalhos monográficos isolados. Por esse motivo, aliado à literatura específica e inspirado em pesquisas já concluídas, este artigo visa à apresentação de um projeto para documentação e cartografia dos topônimos pernambucanos, de modo a identificar, descrever e analisar as peculiaridades dos nomes dos municípios. A partir dos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos encontrados em Dick (1989; 1994), que defende um modelo de classificação toponímica composto por taxes de natureza física e antropocultural, foram construídas até o momento 10 cartogramas que organizaram os topônimos com a mesma motivação. Percebeu-se, ao fim da análise, que a maioria dos nomes dos municípios se enquadra no grupo dos fitotopônimos, ou seja, aludem à dimensão de nomes referentes a vegetais.
Breve estudo sobre a ocorrência de Buriti e de suas variantes como designativos toponomásticos na mesorregião Central Mineira
Authors: Pimentel Patrícia de Cássia Gomes
Published: May 2021

O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar, de forma breve, um estudo onomástico-toponímico sobre a ocorrência do termo Buriti e de suas variantes em uma das doze mesorregiões do Estado de Minas Gerais: a Central Mineira. Para esta análise, orientamo-nos pelos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da Toponímia propostos por Dauzat (1926) e por Dick (1990a; 1990b) e pelos procedimentos metodológicos adotados pelo Projeto ATEMIG – Atlas Toponímico do Estado de Minas Gerais – do qual inclusive provêm os nossos dados sincrônicos. Os dados toponímicos analisados possibilitaram-nos compreender melhor que a formação do espaço toponomástico está intimamente ligada não só ao contexto ambiental, mas também social de um povo.
El lugar como herramienta de análisis para la economía social y solidaria. El caso de la asociación El Arca (Mendoza, Argentina)
Authors: Jurado Emanuel Alberto
Published: May 2021

Diversos procesos económicos alternativos al capital han surgido en las últimas décadas en Argentina y Latinoamérica. Agrupados bajo el amplio campo de la economía social y solidaria, consisten en un conjunto heterogéneo de emprendimientos económicos que contempla elementos organizativos de autogestión asociativa y democrática, como así también vínculos solidarios con su comunidad de pertenencia. En el caso de Mendoza, este campo se ha desarrollado vigorosamente gracias a la conjunción del trabajo de numerosos sujetos –individuales y colectivos–.

En este trabajo, realizamos un análisis geográfico de esta temática socio-económica empleando, principalmente, la noción de lugar como herramienta conceptual. De esta forma, buscamos realizar una contribución teórica y empírica, tanto a la geografía como a la economía social y solidaria. A modo de estudio de caso, analizamos el andar histórico de El Arca, asociación referente en la temática en Mendoza.

Článek rekapituluje teoretická východiska vzdělávání zaměřeného na rozvíjení návyků a chování v oblasti udržitelné spotřeby, a jejich prostřednictvím i na celkovou změnu životního stylu. Zdůrazňuje význam transformativního učení jakožto základního rámce pro tento typ učení, hledá související koncepty, které pomohou stanovit relevantní vzdělávací cíle – aktivní přístup, akční kompetence, klíčové kompetence pro udržitelnost. Autoři diskutují též nástroje, kterými by tyto cíle byly dosažitelné ve školní výuce: pro citlivou povahu transformativního učení a jeho působení na vnitřní změny osobnosti navrhují postupy vzdělávání pro budoucnost, kreativního učení nebo ty, jež jsou uplatňovány při řešení konfliktů a v rámci celoinstitucionálního přístupu. Rekapitulují a zobecňují zkušenosti s designem programu odpovědné spotřeby pro děti/žáky/studenty mateřských až středních škol, a vyvozují závěry pro využití konceptu transformativního učení ve vzdělávání dětí (ve srovnání s učením dospělých). Výsledkem teoretických úvah i společných aktivit v praxi je návrh hodnotícího nástroje, pomocí kterého lze reflektovat postup při naplňování vzdělávacích cílů v dané oblasti – kompetencí k odpovědné spotřebě a změně životního stylu.
Deep Large Margin Nearest Neighbor for Gait Recognition
Authors: Xu Wanjiang
Published: May 2021

Gait recognition in video surveillance is still challenging because the employed gait features are usually affected by many variations. To overcome this difficulty, this paper presents a novel Deep Large Margin Nearest Neighbor (DLMNN) method for gait recognition. The proposed DLMNN trains a convolutional neural network to project gait feature onto a metric subspace, under which intra-class gait samples are pulled together as small as possible while inter-class samples are pushed apart by a large margin. We provide an extensive evaluation in terms of various scenarios, namely, normal, carrying, clothing, and cross-view condition on two widely used gait datasets. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed DLMNN achieves competitive gait recognition performances and promising computational efficiency.

Multi-objective optimization of CCUS supply chains for European countries with higher carbon dioxide emissions
Authors: Leonzio Grazia , Foscolo Pier Ugo , Zondervan Edwin
Published: May 2021

This research work wants to overcome the gap present in the literature, reformulating our single optimization problems of a CCUS supply chain for Germany, Italy and the UK (European countries with higher carbon dioxide emissions) as bi-objective problems. The amount of captured carbon dioxide is maximized while total costs are minimized at the same time. Results show that, for solving this problem, the augmented ε-constraint method is more efficient than the traditional ε-constraint method, and the respective Pareto fronts with environmentally and economically efficient solutions are obtained. These plots are utilized to suggest scenarios for a decision maker, considering only the total costs objective function (the scenario with the minimum value of net total cost is selected) or both objective functions (the scenario with the shortest distance from the Utopia point is chosen). In the second option, the CCUS supply chain of Germany is that closest to the ideal conditions, even if the system has the highest costs.
