Desde su aparición en las primeras grandes ciudades europeas de los siglos XIII y XIV, las universidades compitieron por ganar audiencias y obtener prestigio, alcanzando de paso la preferencia de los usuarios. Sus talentosos maestros eran el fundamento del éxito de la de París, mientras en la de Bolonia el atractivo radicaba en la gran autonomía e iniciativa de los estudiantes. La de Salerno recibió reconocimiento por su dedicación a las ciencias de la medicina y merecería posteriormente por ello el nombre de prototecnológica, pero la de Salamanca estableció una estructura organizativa que por la fuerza de su eficacia o el peso de la autoridad real terminó imponiéndose en las nacientes universidades de la América colonial.

La acreditación como conceptualización y como experiencia, como exigencia y desiderátum, como garantía de calidad y registro público de su eficacia educativa aparece oficialmente en la Constitución del 91 y en su corolario, la Ley General de Educación. Pero el decreto 272 es el que, de una parte, establece la diferencia entre la acreditación previa para las facultades de educación, para lo cual diseña los criterios y determina los requisitos mínimos a cumplir por tales entidades en orden a lograr el aval oficial a su carácter de instituciones formadoras de educadores.

Aproximación a la coyuntura actual de la música en el departamento del Huila
Authors: Salazar Trujillo Liberio
Published: October 2018

Hay consenso entre los huilenses en que una de las características que constituyen su identidad e integran su idiosincracia es la inclinación por la música. Y si bien son muchas las regiones, (por no decir todas las de nuestro país), que se atribuyen cualidad similar, (entre ellas nuestra región hermana con la que conformamos el Tolima Grande), es válido comparar la dinámica de nuestro desarrollo musical con la suya para tomarle el pulso a la coyuntura actual de la música en nuestro departamento. Examinemos entonces, (con ánimo de polemizar y abrir la discusión para conocer la realidad), los elementos que la conforman, con miras a poner las soluciones oportunas y adecuadas de cara a dar un nuevo impulso y brío a este hermoso arte en nuestro entorno regional y a determinar el papel y la función que la universidad puede y debe ejercer en esa dirección.

An Ethno-pragmatic Analysis of Verbal Indirection in Yoruba
Authors: Ajayi Temitope Michael
Published: October 2018

The Yoruba language is one of the richest languages in the world in terms of how words and expressions can be employed beyond their conventional meanings. One way of achieving unconventional meaning of words and expressions in the language is the deployment of verbal indirection which is a strategic avoidance of speaking directly in order to achieve a communicative goal. As phenomenal as this concept is in the Yoruba language and culture, it has not received adequate attention from scholars, particularly in Nigeria. This study therefore attempts an ethno-pragmatic analysis of verbal indirection in Yoruba, within the purview of Hyme's Ethnography of speaking and Brown and Levinson's Face theory. The study observes, contrary to the existing notion that verbal indirection is a face-saving strategy in language, it can be deployed as a face-threatening strategy in the Yoruba language.

Discovery of Calcium-Metal Alloy Anodes for Reversible Ca-Ion Batteries
Authors: Yao Zhenpeng , Hegde Vinay I. , Aspuru-Guzik Alan , Wolverton Christopher
Published: October 2018

Ca-ion batteries (CIBs) show promise to achieve the high energy density required by emerging applications like electric vehicles because of their potentially improved capacities and high operating voltages. The development of CIBs has been hindered by the failure of traditional graphite and calcium metal anodes due to the intercalation difficulty and lacking efficient electrolyte. Recently a high voltage (4.45 V) CIB cell using Sn as the anode was reported achieving a remarkable cyclability (> 300 cycles). The calciation of Sn was observed to end at Ca7Sn6, which is surprising, since higher Ca-content compounds are known (e.g. Ca2Sn). Here, we investigate computationally the Sn electrochemical calciation reaction process and explore the reaction driving force as a function of Ca content using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This exploration allows us to identify threshold voltages which govern the limits of the calciation process. We then use this information to design a four-step screening strategy and use high-throughput DFT to search for anode materials with higher properties. We predict that many metalloids (Si, Sb, Ge), (post-)transition metals (Al, Pb, Cu, Cd, CdCu2) are promising inexpensive anode candidates and warrant further experimental investigations.
Efficient and Tunable One-Dimensional Charge Transport in Layered Lanthanide Metal-Organic Frameworks

Published: October 2018

The most conductive MOFs are those made from organic ligands and square-planar transition metal ions connected into two-dimensional (2D) sheets that stack in a similar manner to the graphene sheets in graphite. Their electrical properties are thought to depend critically on the covalency of the metal-ligand bond. Much less importance is given to charge transport normal to the 2D sheets, not least because there is little synthetic opportunity to control their stacking sequence or distance. Here, we report exquisite control over the stacking sequence and distance in a series of materials made from 2D sheets of organic ligands connected in the third dimension by infinite lanthanide-oxygen chains. Contrary to transition metal MOFs, efficient charge transport leading to conductivity values of up to 0.5 S/cm in the lanthanide materials occurs primarily normal to the 2D sheets. We further show that the smaller lanthanides Yb3+ and Ho3+ enforce a shorter stacking distance of only 3.002(6) Å and afford consistently higher conductivity than the larger lanthanides Nd3+ and La3+, which distend the sheets up to 3.068(2) Å. This first systematic study of structure-function relationships in layered conductive MOFs is enabled by the high degree of crystallinity afforded by the relatively ionic lanthanide-ligand bonds. These results demonstrate that increasing the covalency of the metal-ligand bond is not the only viable path to achieve record conductivity in 2D MOFs, and that the interactions of the organic ligands alone can produce efficient charge transport pathways.

Published: October 2018

Further improvements and mechanistic understanding of the electrocatalytic enhancements towards the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are required to meet cost/energy demands and thus enable their practical applications in polymer electrolyte fuel cells. An investigation of the electrocatalytic enhancement mechanisms and stability of controlled electrocatalysts comprised Pt nanoparticles supported on TiO2/C materials was herein performed. The catalysts were prepared by depositing Pt, over the surface of TiO2 colloidal spheres. These materials were then supported onto Vulcan carbon to produce Pt/TiO2/C. The effect of Pt coverage at the TiO2 surface as well as the Pt/TiO2 loading on carbon over their ORR activity and stability were investigated. Results indicate that the control over Pt coverage at the surface played a pivotal role on activity optimization, in which an association between Pt content at the TiO2 surface and ORR activity was established. The ORR activity and stability were superior as compared to commercial Pt/C (E-TEK). Variations in catalytic activity could be correlated with the morphological features and with the concentration of surface reactive groups. Results described herein suggest that the understanding of the electrocatalytic enhancement mechanism together with the controlled synthesis of Pt-based nanomaterials may lead to tailored surface properties and thus ORR activities.
Meteorological service for civil aviation: problems and ways of their solution
Authors: Bolelov E. A.
Published: October 2018

Meteorological support of flights (MSF) of civil aviation (CA) is one of the types of support of flights and is carried out in order to ensure the safety, regularity and efficiency of flights by providing the required meteorological information to users of airspace, bodies engaged in air traffic management. The international and national regulation of the MSF CA is based on the recommendations of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and ICAO as well as the Federal Aviation Regulations and other regulatory and guidance documents. In the Russian Federation the MSF CA is performed by "Aviamettelekom of Roshydromet", which is a regional organization with a regional-distributed network of structural units including a head office and 15 branches. Aerodrome meteorological authorities conduct the direct meteorological support. At present, there are a number of problems in the MSF CA, that is availability of the regulatory acts and rules allowing the use by aviation consumers of meteorological information supplied outside the officially authorized providers of meteorological information; insufficient technical provision with modern meteorological equipment of aerodrome meteorological authorities; obsolescence of existing technical means to carry out meteorological observations and supply meteorological information; lack of qualified meteorologists; divisions redundancy of "Aviamettelekom of Roshydromet"; in a number of regions of the Russian Federation there is a lack of reliable methods for weather forecasts and hazardous weather phenomena for aviation; insufficient coverage of the country's territory with a network of meteorological radar and aerological stations. The main ways of improving the MSF CA must be guided in several directions simultaneously: improvement of the legislative and regulatory frameworks of the MSF CA; the development and introduction of modern technical means for carrying out meteorological observations and measurements; development and implementation of computer-aided forecasting on the basis of modern numerical methods and prediction techniques; the centralization of the forecasting processes and sharing weather data.
Formulation of multicriteria problem of routing and scheduling of manned and unmanned aircraft in a dynamic environment and approach to its solution using genetic algorithms
Authors: Lebedev G. N. , Malygin V. B. , Mikhaylin D. A. , Byo Tan
Published: October 2018

The article deals with the multi-criteria task of routing and scheduling of unmanned and manned aircraft using the method of penalty functions. The authors describe the urgency of the problem being solved for the airline management under the conditions of the existing changes in the dynamic situation with a great variety of flight situations. A mathematical statement of the problem is formulated and a universal optimality criterion is proposed in the form of a sum of additive and multiplicative forms, including partial quality indicators. The search for optimal and rational solutions to the problem of optimal flight routing, taking into account the airline fleet resources, airspace users' offers, constant and variable restrictions, associated, for example, with unfavorable weather conditions, can be implemented using a one-criteria and multi-criteria approach, but as a result, it is proposed to use a genetic algorithm that has low computational complexity and offers as solutions ("ancestors"), close to the optimal and rational result.  With this approach, an "elite" is formed at the beginning of the algorithm, which allows the crossing operation to be performed at each step of the iteration (evolution). As a result, we get new "descendants", and by rearranging at least one item from one block to the next one, we can get a sufficiently large number of representatives, from which a new "elite" can be selected with the help of the criterion. The practice of using genetic algorithms has shown that along with the achievement of a global extremum with it, the process of substantial improvement of planning results is achieved in several evolution steps, and their number is clearly less than the number of steps when using numerical methods of parametric optimization.  The proposed approach will significantly improve the efficiency and quality of flight planning for the airline, taking into account the diversity of aircraft fleet, payload and environmental impact. This task is especially important under the conditions of joint management (CDM), where aeronautical data can be considered as additional criteria.
Information indicators of radar portraits of air objects and generalized indicators of the ability of recognition systems to extract information
Authors: Akinshin R. N. , Peteshov A. V.
Published: October 2018

To improve the quality of recognition of air objects, it is proposed to use a priori information contained in reference portraits, which are formed adaptively to the conditions of observation. A decisive rule is formulated on the assignment of the observed target to the k-th group under the assumption that the signal and background are normal stationary random processes with zero mean values and the covariance matrices of portraits are known. The quality criterion of recognition is proposed, the result of which implementation is a decision with a probability not below the required Ptr. The price for the implementation of this criterion is the decision content change. For the implementation of the radar recognition system (HRD) with structural-parametric adaptation of the radar it is proposed to introduce into the system a device of the quality and control forecast, which conducts the assessment (forecast) of the amount of information and change the decisive rule of the HRD system in accordance with the received assessment. An indicator of the amount of information extracted by the recognition system from the radar portrait (RLP) is introduced, which is thought as a measure of reducing uncertainty in the decision-making process on the target group with the help of the RLR system. It is shown that the amount of extracted information depends not only on the parameters of the RLP, but also on the algorithm of its processing. The potential amount of information about the goal of the k-th information group contained in the RLP is determined, the concept of a sufficiently informative portrait with the recognition of the goals of all groups is introduced. The concepts of differential and integral contrast are formalized in the case of arbitrarily correlated RLP. The introduced concepts of differential and integral contrasts for the special case of uncorrelated RLP are extended to the General case of arbitrarily correlated RLP.
Phosphorylation of Arp2 is not essential for Arp2/3 complex activity in fission yeast
Authors: Epstein Alexander E , Espinoza-Sanchez Sofia , Pollard Thomas D
Published: October 2018

LeClaire et al presented evidence that phosphorylation of three sites on the Arp2 subunit activates the Arp2/3 complex to nucleate actin filaments. We mutated the homologous residues of Arp2 (Y198, T233, and T234) in the fission yeast genome to amino acids that preclude or mimic phosphorylation. Arp2/3 complex is essential for the viability of fission yeast, yet strains unable to phosphorylate these sites grew normally. Y198F/T233A/T234A Arp2 was only nonfunctional if GFP-tagged, as observed by LeClaire et al inDrosophilacells. Replacing both T233 and T234 with aspartic acid was lethal, suggesting that phosphorylation might be inhibitory. Nevertheless, blocking phosphorylation at these sites had the same effect as mimicking it: slowing assembly of endocytic actin patches. Mass spectrometry revealed phosphorylation at a fourth conserved Arp2 residue, Y218, but both blocking and mimicking phosphorylation of Y218 only slowed actin patch assembly slightly. Therefore, phosphorylation of Y198, T233, T234, and Y218 is not required for the activity of fission yeast Arp2/3 complex.

The aim of this research is to compare the headline of two online media platform in Indonesia; the Republika and Media Indonesia. This research use qualitative descriptive analysis method. The data is analyzed using the Lexical Functional Grammar as an approach. The purpose of using Lexical Functional Grammar is to take a deep look on how the headline news is constructed, as Lexical Functional Grammar is also completed with Constituent Structure, Functional Structure, and Lexical Entry. This research found that there is a difference in the headline construction of Republika and Media Indonesia. Republika tends to use argument ellipsis or additional adjunct and complement. The use of adjunct and complement is to replace the use if the argument elapsed in the headline. Meanwhile, Media Indonesia tends to use complete and standard sentence as their headlines. Even when the headline uses adjunct, actually, without the adjunct the headline in Media Indonesia is already acceptable as Media Indonesia’s headline use complete argument and predicate as the base of their headline.
Using ICT Programs to Support Students with Dyslexia in Aquiring Literacy
Authors: Huriyah Shofiyatul
Published: October 2018

Mastering reading and writing skills as the key priority for students who experience developmental disorders reading and writing or dyslexia. Learning language for dyslexic students is not easy, dyslexic students have difficulty processing language components, especially in reading and writing. Reading and writing begin at an early age, and continue into elementary school. Students learn to read and write by memorizing and repeating letters and words. However, the fact is that this method cannot always be taught for dyslexic students. Students with dyslexia are very different from students in general, they learn differently at very different levels. Some students need more support from the people around them. Dyslexic students are easily saturated if they are invited to learn to read and write. To overcome this problem it is necessary to use the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) program in learning, this program is based on digital, so that it can help dyslexic students in the field of literacy. The use of ICT programs is very supportive of literacy skills and can provide benefits to them, they can learn independently in education, work, and home environment. These programs allow dyslexic students to have the opportunity to access almost all texts. Using the program  provide opportunities for dyleksia students to continue learning, and practice so that it is hoped that dyslexic students are able to succeed in writing and reading activities.
From Classical to Generalized Zero-Shot Learning: a Simple Adaptation Process
Authors: Le Cacheux Yannick , Le Borgne Hervé , Crucianu Michel
Published: October 2018

Zero-shot learning (ZSL) is concerned with the recognition of previously unseen classes. It relies on additional semantic knowledge for which a mapping can be learned with training examples of seen classes. While classical ZSL considers the recognition performance on unseen classes only, generalized zero-shot learning (GZSL) aims at maximizing performance on both seen and unseen classes. In this paper, we propose a new process for training and evaluation in the GZSL setting; this process addresses the gap in performance between samples from unseen and seen classes by penalizing the latter, and enables to select hyper-parameters well-suited to the GZSL task. It can be applied to any existing ZSL approach and leads to a significant performance boost: the experimental evaluation shows that GZSL performance, averaged over eight state-of-the-art methods, is improved from 28.5 to 42.2 on CUB and from 28.2 to 57.1 on AwA2.
Fixed-point design methodology of the hyperbolic tangent function using lookup tables with performance evaluation on FPGA
Authors: Pérez Suárez Santiago Tomás
Published: October 2018

The sigmoid functions, including the hyperbolic tangent, are widely used in artificial neural networks. Usually, artificial neural networks are implemented on a computer, in training and testing phases, using floating point arithmetic. In some situations it is necessary to improve the performance of neural networks, in such cases the implementations are designed for specific digital devices, using fixed point arithmetic. This strategy increases the speed, and reduces the hardware resources and consumed power. The sigmoid functions are non-linear systems because include exponentials and divisions operations, so they are the bottleneck of the artificial neuron design and cannot be implemented directly in fixed-point format. For this reason, several methods of approximation are used, mainly based on piecewise approximations. One of the most common technique is to use Look-up Tables, which store samples of the function. This method needs a lot of hardware resources, but it reaches the highest speed. The first objective, using lookup table approximations, is to explore the set of solutions and study the effect of the number of bits. This can only be achieved if an advanced design methodology is used for experimentation, a second objective is to expose this fast and flexible design method. Thirdly, the measure of functionality associated with the error is reviewed. A new functionality measure is proposed associated with the concept of signal to noise power relation. The new measure allows compare different approximations; besides, some linearities are observed against the number of bits. Afterwards, the implementations are developed on some Field Programmable Gate Arrays and the performances are evaluated: hardware resources, speed and consumed power. Again, some linear behaviours are observed. Finally, a quality factor is proposed, which includes functionality and physical performances, this factor allows comparison between different implementations.

Revisiting the Open Government Phenomenon. A Meta-Analysis of the International Literature
Authors: Criado J. Ignacio , Ruvalcaba-Gómez Edgar Alejandro , Valenzuela-Mendoza Rafael
Published: October 2018

According to the contributions of several authors, the Open Government (OG) concept is maturing and moving toward its consolidation as a new field of multidisciplinary knowledge with its own dynamics. However, little is known about how it is developing that path, if it is really generating its own characteristics and what is its scope in terms of the creation of an academic community. This article makes a systematic review or meta-evaluation of the literature on OG for 5 years (2011 to 2015) of the three magazines most recognized for their production and quality of content in the theme: Government Information Quarterly, Information Polity and eJournal of eDemocracy and Open Government. This article analyzes a total universe composed of 189 articles, classified into different categories that try to answer three research questions: How is the OG analyzed? (Study Design, Research Techniques, Methodological Approach) Where is the OG analyzed? (University Departments, Host Country of the Universities and Institutions, Level of Government, Analyzed Country/Areas) What are the most analyzed topics and the most prominent concepts in the study of OG? (Main Topic, Keywords). Article data reveal the key features of OG analysis: still little quantitative and explicative-correlational studies, very focused on the countries of the Anglo-American area, and with very diverse interests ranging from open data, e-government to social media to co-production. In addition, with the latter, it can be confirmed to what extent a scientific community has been created around the OG as well as establishing some conclusions on the development of OG in the coming years.
Concept-driven Design for Democracy: Advancing Co-creative Media to Support Citizen Participation and Democratic Engagement
Authors: Faraon Montathar
Published: October 2018

This article elaborates a concept of co-creative media that aims to support citizens’ democratic engagement by facilitating participatory and co-creative processes. The research adopts a concept-driven design approach to theoretically underpin and empirically inform the concept. This was accomplished by adopting theoretical resources from the framework of actor-network theory (ANT), identifying criteria in an analysis of existing socio-technical systems for democratic engagement, and building on the results from four research studies. The main contribution of the article, namely the concept of co-creative media, could serve as a basis for further theoretical reflections and a point of departure to support future participatory design processes where relevant stakeholders collectively contribute to the practical implementation and evaluation of co-creative media. Co-creative media have the potentials to provide citizens with a new approach to democracy and could broaden citizens’ democratic engagement by means of creating virtual spaces in which new ideas, initiatives, knowledge, and solutions could emerge.
The Role of Management in Open Data Initiatives in Local Governments: Opening the Organizational Black Box

Previous studies have infrequently addressed the dynamic interactions among social, technical, and organizational variables in open government data initiatives. In addition, organization level models have neglected to explain the role of management in decision-making processes about technology and data. This article contributes to addressing this gap in the literature by analyzing the complex relationships between open government data characteristics and the organizations and institutions in which they are embedded. We systematically compare the open data inception and implementation processes, as well as their main results, in three Spanish local governments (Gava and Rubi in Catalonia and Gijon in Asturias) by using a model that combines the technology enactment framework with some specific constructs and relationships from the process model of computing change. Our resulting model is able to identify and explain the significant role of management in shaping and mediating different interactions, but also acknowledges the importance of organizational level variables and the context in which the open data initiative is taking place.

In this paper we present the Greek Interoperability Center (GIC), which constitutes a common and uniform framework for web services hosting and use. Those web services are either implemented by Ministry of Finance or other Ministries (web service clients). The aim of GIC is to act as a hub for the exchange of business/operational data between Public Sector Agencies but also to establish a uniform way to implement web services (and clients) in terms of security and web service implementation techniques. This was accomplished by implementing an Enterprise Service Bus as well as a number of "horizontal" functionalities named Common Implementation Framework.

Background. Pregnancy with a retrochorial hematoma in a third of cases ends prematurely. Detection of early markers of pregnancy loss is extremely necessary for the prevention and therapy of miscarriage.

Aims. The aim of the study is development and pathogenetically substantiation a new diagnostic algorithm in the formation of retrochorial hematoma in the first trimester of pregnancy.

Materials and methods. A prospective study of women of reproductive age with retrochorial hematoma applied at the gestational age of 6–12 weeks was performed. A study was made of polymorphic variants of genes of hemostasis system; the folate cycle by polymerase chain reaction. The level of embryotropic antibodies was determined by the ELI-P-Complex-12 system test. The course of pregnancy and delivery was monitored.

Results. The study involved 113 women. There was no correlation between the isolated carrier of polymorphisms and an increased risk of pregnancy loss (p ˃ 0.05). Polymorphic variants of genes of hemostasis system; the folate cycle in combination with an increase in the level of rheumatoid factor or autoantibodies to thyroglobulin have a relationship with the risk of miscarriage (р ˂ 0.05).

Conclusion. Polymorphic variants of genes of hemostasis system; the folate cycle in combination with an increase in the level of rheumatoid factor or autoantibodies to thyroglobulin are predictors of an unfavorable outcome of pregnancy. Therefore; the definition of these markers can be used for individualization of the survey; treatment at the precognitive stage and during pregnancy.
EFFECT OF ACUPUNCTURE ON THE FUNCTION OF THE VISUAL SYSTEM IN PATIENTS OF GLAUCOMA

At present, significant advances have been made in the surgical and conservative treatment of glaucoma. However, in patients with a prolonged course of the disease, even against the background of normalized intraocular pressure, progressive deterioration of visual functions occurs with the transition of the disease to a more severe stage. Effects directed solely at lowering the intraocular pressure are not able to fully ensure the preservation of visual functions, so its normalization cannot ensure the stabilization of the glaucoma process. Dysfunction of the nervous system and vascular disorders play a significant role in the pathogenesis of glaucoma. In this regard, the treatment of this disease should be comprehensive and include neuroprotective therapy aimed at correction of metabolic disorders that occur in glaucoma in the optic nerve head, improvement of local microcirculation and trophism of tissues, normalization the rheological properties of the blood. Conventional conservative therapy does not provide adequate blood supply to the optic nerve and prevent the deterioration of visual functions in more than half of patients. The purpose of this study was to study the effectiveness of reflexotherapy in patients with glaucoma after surgery and normalization of intraocular pressure. In the study, 18 patients with a diagnosis of primary open-angle glaucoma were treated. It has been established that reflexotherapy improves significantly the functions of the visual system and the general condition, normalizes arterial pressure and psycho-emotional state of patients.

At present, influence of weak magnetic fields associated with solar and geomagnetic activity on biological systems is gaining more interest. Taking into account the accumulated data on the influence of geomagnetic storms on different biological levels, it is obvious that the mechanism of influence is universal. One of the approaches in this search may be the study of patterns and differences in the response to geomagnetic storms of various biological objects. As a research material served: data on the number of ambulance calls in the city of Irkutsk for acute myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction; results of retrospective analysis of the number of spontaneous parturition of the city of Irkutsk; data on the motion activity of fruit fly Drosophyla melanogaster, obtained by automated monitoring. The investigated indicators were compared with the parameters of geomagnetic activity at different time scales. As indicators of geomagnetic storms, three-hour (ap) and daily (Ap) equal to the average amplitude of variation of the geomagnetic field of the Earth. In the case of comparing the motion activity of fruit flies with magnetic storms, the local companions of the Earth’s magnetic field were additionally considered according to the data of the Irkutsk magnetic observatory. As a result of the conducted studies it was established that the detected response of biological systems depends on the characteristics of the state of the Earth’s magnetic field, which falls on the period of passage of magnetic storms. The obtained data also indicate possible gender differences in the response to the effects of the geomagnetic factor by organisms of different levels.
