Esse artigo traz o estudo da iluminância de salas de aulas localizadas em diferentes blocos de uma instituição de  ensino superior do estado de Rondônia. Para a realização da coleta, utilizou-se um equipamento próprio  para a avaliação do índice de iluminação denominado luxímetro e também uma trena para a medição das salas. Definiu-se  seis diferentes pontos dentro das salas de aula selecionadas para a obtenção de valores com o objetivo de realizar  o cálculo da média da iluminância assim como a observação da variação dos valores em diferentes partes dos  ambientes em estudo, que de forma geral não devem apresentar divergências significativas. A partir da obtenção da média, a análise  em relação ao valor de iluminância definido pela norma NBR 8985-1 de 2013 para salas de aulas no período  diurno pôde ser realizada e, os resultados demonstraram que nenhuma das salas estão em cumprimento da quantidade de iluminância adequada para esse tipo de ambiente que durante o dia é de 300 lux. Duas das salas  mostraram-se abaixo do valor, enquanto a outra sala apresentou um valor superior. Outro ponto analisado foi em  relação a grande variância de valores dentro da mesma sala, o que também não é o ideal. Dessa forma, algumas  adaptações físicas são necessárias em todas as três salas para a adequação do espaço à norma vigente.

Published: October 2021

Una de las principales causas del fracaso de las pequeñas y medianas empresas (PYMES) en México, es la falta de recursos financieros para la adquisición de equipamiento, capacitación e infraestructura para crecer y ser más competitivos en sus diversos mercados. Si bien existen una gran cantidad de formas de financiamiento como lo son las instituciones bancarias, las empresas financieras o con prestamistas, estos suelen requerir de garantías, tienen un alto costo financiero y solicitan un buró de crédito limpio. En este trabajo se realiza un análisis de los diversos apoyos que otorga a fondo perdido el gobierno Federal para las PYMES y que por desconocimiento o falta de información no son solicitados por los empresarios, pudiendo ser este tipo de recursos una solución económica para miles de empresas.

Radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy for Dupuytren’scontracture: a case report
Authors: Taheri Parisa , Salek Najmeh , GHaffari Hoseini Shervin
Published: October 2021

Dupuytren’s contracture (DC) is a fibro-proliferative disorder of palmar and digital fascia, which leads to contracture deformity of hand and consequent disability. There is not a satisfying method for management of the disease and standard invasive treatments such as collagenase injection and fasciectomy have high rates of failure and recurrence. Recently, focused extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) has been used successfully for reduction of pain and dysfunction in DC. We hypothesized that radial ESWT would benefit this condition and used it in a chronic case. The patient was a 64-year-old farmer with the history of DC in both hands for eight years. He experienced exacerbation in the flexion contracture of the fourth metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint of his right hand in the past month. We treated the patient with six weekly sessions of radial shock wave. Extension restriction in the fourth MCP joint reached from 30° to normal at the end of treatment and function of hand was also improved. Thus, radial ESWT should be considered and investigated for management of the DC in future studies.

Do Underlying Risk Preferences explain Individuals’ Cognitive Ability?⁕ Evidence from a Sample of Pakistani Students
Authors: Raheem Mariam , Momina Ain ul
Published: October 2021

Emerging research in empirical economics posits a question on the relation
between underlying risk preferences and reflective cognitive ability. In an
experimental setting, a preliminary sample of 260 participants undergo a series of
incentivized choice experiments to elicit risk preferences and a Cognitive Reflection
Test (CRT) to obtain estimates of their reflective ability. We sidestep potential
biases by using a Fechner error specification along with a contextualized version
of the utility function. Individuals who are more likely to avoid risky outcomes
have significantly lower scores on the CRT. The analysis validates a prominent
relationship spanning the economics and psychology literature and suggests a
potential direction of causal inference for future research.
Sustentabilidad sociocultural del Patrimonio Urbano de la ciudad de Olavarría, provincia de Buenos Aires, desde la década de 1980 hasta la actualidad
Authors:   , Cantar Nahir Meline
Published: October 2021

En las últimas décadas, el patrimonio urbano de Latinoamérica y, en especial de Argentina, se enmarca en un contexto de avance desmedido de la urbanización y crecimiento sin planificación adecuada de las ciudades que lo coloca en situación de alta vulnerabilidad. Sin embargo, las respuestas para afrontar esta problemática desde las administraciones locales suelen ser escasas. Estas condiciones ponen en peligro no sólo la salvaguardia del patrimonio urbano, sino también el conjunto de apropiaciones, identidades y significados que las comunidades han construido en torno a él. En este marco, desde la perspectiva de la sustentabilidad -particularmente la sociocultural- se busca la generación de nuevas relaciones que tiene al espacio geográfico como condicionado-condicionante, basadas en acuerdos/desacuerdos entre los distintos actores sociales a fin de integrar la diversidad de miradas e intereses involucrados en los procesos de patrimonialización que se llevan a cabo en las ciudades. En este contexto, en la presente investigación se evalúa la sustentabilidad sociocultural del patrimonio urbano de la ciudad de Olavarría, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Para poder llevar a cabo esta tarea, se reconstruyen en primera instancia, las políticas culturales, y en especial las patrimoniales, que tuvieron lugar en el partido desde 1983 a 2020. También se realiza un preinventario del patrimonio urbano, que incluye a las subcategorías del patrimonio arquitectónico, inmaterial, mueble, arqueológico y paleontológico, y de parques y plazas. Posteriormente, se construye una herramienta metodológica de índices e indicadores para evaluar la sustentabilidad sociocultural en el área de estudio desde un enfoque interdisciplinario e integral. Para ello se construyeron veinticuatro indicadores agrupados en cuatro variables: institucionalización, reconocimiento e información, apropiación y participación y diversidad cultural. La evaluación de cada uno de ellos, de acuerdo a diferentes gradientes, permitió elaborar índices parciales y arribar con su promedio a un Índice de Sustentabilidad Sociocultural del Patrimonio Urbano de Olavarría. Los resultados de esta investigación ponen en evidencia que la sustentabilidad del patrimonio urbano de la ciudad se encuentra comprometida, por lo que gran parte de sus bienes y manifestaciones culturales son altamente vulnerables a múltiples amenazas. Asimismo, se proponen diferentes líneas de acción orientadas a la gestión sustentable del patrimonio urbano local.

Climate change in the past 20 years brings significant alteration in the earth surface. It affects extremely anomaly temperature, such as the ENSO, IOD, and SOI phenomena. The Pacific Ocean Region, the Indian Ocean Region, and the Darwin – Tahiti Region undergo an increase and a decrease in the sea surface temperatures (SST); thus, it can lead to seasonal change in Indonesia. Due to ENSO, IOD, and SOI, climate change also highly affects the operation pattern of reservoirs, food production, and other commodities. This research used SST data (Nino 1.2, Nino 3, Nino 3.4, Nino 4, IOD West, IOD East, and SOI) from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and rainfall data from 1998 to 2018 of nine stations at Wonogiri Reservoir watershed. Trend analysis of the SST index indicated an increase in trend SST index. Trend analysis of monthly rainfall average at Wonogiri Watershed area indicated a decrease in January, March, April, May, June, July, August, and October, while it increased in February, September, November, and December. Multiple linear regression analysis with the stepwise regression method indicated that during the rainy season, the rainfall at Wonogiri Watershed and Inflow at Wonogiri reservoir were influenced by the SST index (Nino 1.2, Nino 3, Nino 3.4, Nino 4). Meanwhile, during the dry season, the rainfall at Wonogiri Watershed and the Inflow at Wonogiri reservoir were influenced by the SST index (IOD West, IOD East, and SOI). With monthly correlations between SST and rainfall data that have a dynamic characteristic, it can be used to calculate the inflow probability distribution in optimizing reservoir operation patterns.

Air pollution caused by industrial activities, especially those near settlements, has become the most significant concern because ambient air pollution can threaten the environment and the surrounding community's health. Several assessments and evaluations of particle characteristics (PM) from various sources become very important to protect humans and the environment. This study aimed to analyze the magnitude of PM 2.5 in the ambient air, surface soil and assess the environmental and public health risks due to exposure to the breathing of air and dermal contact containing PM 2.5 emitted from the cement industry around the school and settlement and its potential lung diseases occurrence. The method used in data analysis is a linear regression statistical test to determine the relationship between PM2.5 air quality with outdoor activities by children and respiratory disorders experienced. Health risk analysis and environmental risk were calculated using the equations provided by the EPA and WHO. To determine the magnitude of risk received by the environment and children if exposed to PM 2.5 within a certain time. Direct measurements in the field were carried out in the morning until noon, with 23 sample points measured the level of PM 2.5 pollution during June 2021. Based on the study, it is concluded that the health risks through the inhalation route all exceed the standard >1, and the potential for pulmonary disorders in children can occur, while the risk from the dermal route is still <1.

Published: October 2021

Studying people’s behavior during COVID-19 is new and important for business planning. This research aimed to study the influencing relationship of four variables: service quality, customer satisfaction, perceived trust, and customer loyalty. This study focuses on Generation Z’s behavior in using technology during the coronavirus situation. Therefore, the research population is Generation Z in Thailand who were surveyed by sending questionnaires through various online media to collect data. The sample comprised 380 participants who were statistically analyzed by descriptive analysis and PLS structural equation analysis. The results showed that (1) the participants’ opinions on all four variables, included service quality, customer satisfaction, customer trust, and loyalty, were at a high level, (2) the service quality significantly influenced customer satisfaction, (3) the service quality significantly affected perceived trust, (4) the customer satisfaction significantly influenced customer loyalty, and (5) the perceived trust significantly affected customer loyalty. Research suggests that management and strategic planning in service businesses for Generation Z customers should focus on the four key success factors, including service quality, customer satisfaction, perceived trust, and customer loyalty. Planning through the business service quality has a positive effect on customer satisfaction and trust. It ultimately leads to customer loyalty in Generation Z, which is critical to the success and the continued growth of the service business.

Migrant workers usually encounter socio-economic and living hardships resulting in complex physical, social, and mental health problems. This research aimed to determine the influence of quality of life (QOL) and social capital on depression among Laotian migrants working in the Northeast of Thailand, which has not been studied on such issues before. This cross-sectional study analyzed the data from the previous study related to the quality of Life of Laotian Migrant Workers in the Northeast of Thailand, which was conducted among 1,477 respondents using a structured questionnaire interview. One thousand two hundred five participants passed the inclusion criteria for the analysis. The generalized linear mixed model was performed to identify the influence of QOL and social capital on depression when controlling the effects of co-variates, presenting adjusted OR and 95% confidence interval. Among 1,205 respondents, 9.29 % reported having depressive symptoms. The depressive symptom was significantly associated with having low to moderate levels of QOL, low to moderate levels of social capital. Other significant co-variates were high stress levels, chronic disease, work permit absence, menstruation lack, physical exercise absence, and living in a room for more than four people. Nearly one-tenth of Laotian migrant workers had depressive symptoms. Quality of life, social capital, stress, socio-economic, working and living conditions, health status, and health behaviors were associated with depression among those migrant workers working in the Northeast of Thailand.
THE EVALUATION OF CASCADING AND RADIAL MENUS FOR AUGMENTED REALITY IN A SMARTPHONE
Authors: Abrar Wan Mohd , Hin Hew Soon , Onn Wong Chee
Published: October 2021

The article describes an evaluation of cascading menu and radial menu in augmented reality (AR) on a smartphone. To evaluate the menus, we measured time to finish the tasks (in seconds) and usability (learnability, efficiency, memorability, errors, and satisfaction) using the System Usability Scale Questionnaire. Data obtained is then analyzed using paired-samples t-test with repeated measures and Wilcoxon signed-rank test to find the statistically significant difference. Overall results showed a preference for the cascading menu type over the radial menu in terms of usability, different from other studies. Statistically, a significant difference was found performance-wise, which indicates that participants are more familiar with cascading menus which contributes to better task time. However, the performance improved the more prolonged the participants got used to the menu when it comes to the radial menu. For errors rates, it is found that the radial menu is less error-prone than cascading menu. This evaluation can help interface designers decide whether they should use the cascading menu or radial menu when designing an interface for AR on a smartphone. The research looks into filling the evaluation gap on the radial and cascading menu, specifically in augmented reality on a smartphone. While other studies have studied and evaluated the cascading menu and radial menu in other environments, this research, on the other hand, tested and evaluated the menu in an augmented reality environment instead of the more traditional desktop environment.

Published: October 2021

Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) without regenerative braking mechanisms often suffer major drawbacks of limited driving range. Although extensive research works exist in electric vehicles integrated with regenerative braking, the performance evaluation of an electric ambulance, in the context of aerodynamic as well as energy recovery assessment from a complete vehicle modeling perspective based on the difference between the controlled dynamic speed and the drive cycle reference speed is not well reported. To compensate for the problem mentioned above, this paper aims to evaluate the performance of an electric ambulance (EA), integrated with a regenerative braking system (RBS) in comparison to an EA without a regenerative braking system (No RBS), in terms of aerodynamic drag coefficient values, state of charge (SOC), endurance efficiency, statistical correlation and mean absolute error (MAE) using proportional-integral (PI) controller. The SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulator were used to develop the EA CAD model and conduct aerodynamic analysis. MATLAB Simulink was used to model the EA complete EA system. The EA drive system was evaluated using three drive cycles (UDDS, FTP, and US06). The EA had an aerodynamic coefficient of 0.29. From the perspective of energy recycling, the EV-RBS yielded an extended drive range and appreciable gain in state of charge compared to EV-No RBS on the mentioned drive cycles. Generally, as the deceleration frequency increases from one drive cycle to another, the energy recycling increases, and the range increases correspondingly. In addition, the PI controller, which relied on speed error as a means of regulating the controlled speed, was found to be efficient, as the controlled speed was highly correlated to the reference speed. Overall, very low mean absolute errors in the vehicle speed were observed for the drive cycles considered.

Background: Presbycusis is related to degenerative changes of aging resulting from deficient cochlear microcirculation. It is characterized by bilateral, symmetrical, sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in which recruitment and speech discrimination is affected in the absence of noise exposure. The objective of this study was to analyze the pure tone audiogram characteristics in Presbycusis.
Methods: This descriptive study recruited n=192 cases of presbycusis of both genders, aged 50 to 80 years with convenience sampling technique. The study was conducted at Yusra General Hospital and the National Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine, Islamabad from1st July 2017 to 30th September 2017. Pure tone audiometry was used to collect audiometric data. SPSS-24 was used for data analysis. Chi-square and Pearson’s correlation were used to determine association between variables with p < 0.05 taken as significant.
Results: Pure tone audiometry revealed 58 (30.2%) right and 65 (33.9%) left ears with high frequency gently sloping audiogram, while the second commonest configuration being high frequency steeply sloping curve in 51(26.6%) right and 52(27.1%) left ears. There was a significant correlation between the configuration of the audiogram and age with p=0.000, while no significant correlation with gender (p=0.71). The majority,77 (40.10%) right and 71(36.98%) of left ears had moderately severe hearing loss, while severe hearing loss was second commonest with 60(31.25%) right and 70(36.46%) left ears affected. The severity of hearing loss had a significant (P=0.000) positive correlation with age but no significant relationship with gender.
Conclusion:  High frequency gently sloping audiogram was the commonest configuration followed by high frequency steeply sloping curve. Moderately severe hearing loss was most commonly seen followed by severe hearing loss.

A mathematical model of relation and origin of variation between CRI and CSR indexes
Authors: Alekseev Danil , Smirnov Andrey , Chalyy Konstantin
Published: October 2021

The aim of this work is both the mathematical relation and the value variation analysis between CRI and CSR indexes. For this aim the physical mathematical model is proposed on the basis of the ISO-test. The physical basis of the model is a material balance of a one piece of coke from the ISO sample. Results of calculating by the model are curves of CSR=f(CRI) which reproduces the regressions in analogy with CSR=a+b.CRI for most coke-producing countries. The model showed that a larger part of CSR=f(CRI) curve is linear and that a universal regression in analogy with CSR=a+b.CRI does not exist. As follows from the model, every piece of coke from the ISO sample has its own CSR=f(CRI) curve with a CRI and CSR point. Between pieces of coke, variations of CRI and CSR values can be explained by the open pore amount, the coke pores’ surface area, the statistical distribution of molecular oriented domains on the basis of Lc and the coke piece mass. In our results, pores with a geometrical orientation from the outside to the center of a coke piece and having a minimum length significantly influence on the coke quality according to CRI and CSR indexes.

Atualmente, a Odontologia proporciona através do uso de técnicas diretas em resina composta, a possibilidade de tratamentos conservadores, que são capazes de cumprir com a demanda estética e funcional dos pacientes. Esse relato de caso descreve um tratamento estético e funcional de dentes superiores anteriores visando fechamentos de diastemas e reanatomizações dentais. Paciente, 24 anos, sexo masculino, apresentava desgaste dental leve associado à presença de bruxismo e refluxo gastroesofágico. A escolha de tratamento priorizou a conservação dos tecidos duros através do clareamento dental, uso de restaurações diretas em resina composta nanohíbrida (Harmonize, Kerr) e a instrução ao paciente para estar em constante acompanhamento multiprofissional visando o controle de suas condições médicas e odontológicas. O resultado apresentado foi satisfatório, reproduzindo boa estética, promovendo saúde, função e proteção contra futuros desgastes. Assim, restaurações diretas realizadas em resina composta nanohíbrida utilizando uma matriz BRB constituem uma opção de tratamento viável e satisfatório para tratar casos de fechamentos de diastema e reanatomizações dos dentes anteriores.

This paper investigates whether three microeconomic loan characteristics are sources of loan default clustering in the Mexican banking sector by employing survival analysis with frailty. Using a large sample of bank loan level data granted to micro, small and medium sized firms from January 2010 to 2018, we test whether classifying loans by the bank's systemic importance, industry or at individual firm level enhances the predictions of loans defaults. Our results show that loans granted by Domestic Systemically Important Banks contribute to the default clustering in micro and small firm loans. This is due to aggregate default rate levels and clusters that are large for these firms loans compared with loans provided to medium-sized firms. These findings have important implications for bank's expected loss management related to the correlated loan default risk

Aim:To find out various cervical lesions with histopathological correlation and age. Method: This was a prospective study conducted in pathology department of a tertiary care teaching hospital over a period of two years. A total of 255 women were included in this study. All cases of gynecological lesions at Histopathology department of Gujarat adani institute of medical science,Bhuj for 2 years starting from May 2019 to May 2021 were retrieved.The demographic information such as nature of specimen which include Punch biopsy(21 cases) and total abdominal hysterectomy(234 cases) were extracted. Results: The most common finding was Nonspecific chronic cervicitis in 159 patients(62.35%) followed by normal stratified squamous epithelium was found in 42 patients(16.47%) and Papillary endocervicitis were 14 patients(5.49%).In benign tumor or tumor-like lesion,Cervical metaplasia were 12 cases(4.70%),Nabothian cyst were 6 cases(2.35%) and Endocervical polyp were 2 cases(0.78%). The premalignant cervical lesions were only 4 cases(1.56%). The malignant cervical lesions were Large cell non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma were 7 cases(2.74%), Large cell keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma were 4 cases(1.56%),Squamous cell carcinoma NOS were 3 cases(1.17%) ,Poorly differentiated carcinoma was only one case(0.39%),Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma was only one case(0.39%). Conclusion: Cancer cervix is an ideal malignancy for screening,can be detected early and the premalignant lesion can be treated to prevent the progress to invasive disease. Hence all women with unhealthy cervix should be subjected to punch biopsy to detect early cases of cancer & carcinoma in situ. Most common cervical lesion is Squamous Cell carcinoma and most common age group is 40-49 years.
Kernel Regression Imputation in Manifolds via Bi-Linear Modeling: The Dynamic-MRI Case

Published: October 2021

This paper introduces a non-parametric approximation framework for imputation-by-regression on data with missing entries. The proposed framework, coined kernel regression imputation in manifolds (KRIM), is built on the hypothesis that features, generated by the measured data, lie close to an unknown-to-the-user smooth manifold. The feature space, where the smooth manifold is embedded in, takes the form of a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS). Aiming at concise data descriptions, KRIM identifies a small number of ``landmark points'' to define approximating ``linear patches'' in the feature space which mimic tangent spaces to smooth manifolds. This geometric information is infused into the design through a novel bi-linear model that allows for multiple approximating RKHSs. To effect imputation-by-regression, a bi-linear inverse problem is solved by an iterative algorithm with guaranteed convergence to a stationary point of a non-convex loss function. To showcase KRIM's modularity, the application of KRIM to dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is detailed, where reconstruction of images from severely under-sampled dMRI data is desired. Extensive numerical tests on synthetic and real dMRI data demonstrate the superior performance of KRIM over state-of-the-art approaches under several metrics and with a small computational footprint.
A Refinement-by-Superposition Approach to Fully Anisotropic hp-Refinement for Improved Efficiency in CEM
Authors: Corrado Jeremiah , Harmon Jake , Notaros Branislav
Published: October 2021

We present an application of fully anisotropic hp-adaptivity over quadrilateral meshes for H(curl)-conforming discretizations in Computational Electromagnetics (CEM). Traditionally, anisotropic h-adaptivity has been difficult to implement under the constraints of the Continuous Galerkin Formulation; however, Refinement-by-Superposition (RBS) facilitates anisotropic mesh adaptivity with great ease. We present a general discussion of the theoretical considerations involved with implementing fully anisotropic hp-refinement, as well as an in-depth discussion of the practical considerations for 2-D FEM. Moreover, to demonstrate the benefits of both anisotropic h- and p-refinement, we study the 2-D Maxwell eigenvalue problem as a test case. The numerical results indicate that fully anisotropic refinement can provide significant gains in efficiency, even in the presence of singular behavior, substantially reducing the number of degrees of freedom required for the same accuracy with isotropic hp-refinement. This serves to bolster the relevance of RBS and full hp-adaptivity to a wide array of academic and industrial applications in CEM

Published: October 2021

The paper presents Istat activity with the institutional glossary. Methods and implementation of the glossary are described, given the peculiarity of official statistics terminology, which is actually official and binding given the link and interrelations with regulations and international official guidelines. The work of a specific structure called “Metadata harmonization group” set at Istat to meet the requirements of terms producers (surveys experts) and terms users (methodologists, communication and dissemination experts). Space is then given to the terminological procedures adopted to set new terms and validate existing (mostly the results of surveys, sometimes the variables). A proposal aimed at the glossary translation is then presented, as a complementary aspect of the terminological work; a short analysis of the problems related with the institutional translation is given in the last paraghraphs.
La terminologia della salute e sicurezza sul lavoro in tedesco per l’Alto Adige
Authors: Chiocchetti Elena , Stanizzi Isabella
Published: October 2021

The paper deals with the German language terminology of occupational health and safety (OHS) in South Tyrol, Italy, where the minority language has official status next to the national language. The South Tyrolean German legal language is developed along two main lines, i.e. through secondary term formation based on translations of Italian terms or by adopting terms already established in the German-speaking countries. The examples given in the paper show the presence of terminological gaps in South Tyrolean German, the influence of Italian, the delicate relation with the legal terminology of the foreign German-speaking legal systems and the difficulty of disseminating an unambiguous terminology in the domain of OHS at local level. The final part explains the currently adopted development and dissemination strategies.
Terminologia e lessicografia: riflessioni sulla denominazione delle pratiche terminologiche nel XXI secolo
Authors: Grimaldi Claudio
Published: October 2021

This contribution aims to propose a reflection that is inserted in a perspective of the history of lexicography, on the one hand, and of semantics, on the other. The first objective of this work is to retrace how the denominations generally attributed to lexicographic and terminographic practice have been structured and lexicalized over the centuries. In the second part of this work, the paper mainly reflects on the use of the names of lexicographic resources (“dictionary”, “glossary”, “vocabulary”) in terms of terminology. This investigation objective arises from the hypothesis of a improper use of these names in different fields of application, especially when non-linguists use these names for products that claim to be of a terminological nature.
Powrót do przeszłości? O przemianach prawnych mechanizmów regulacji pamięci zbiorowej w Hiszpanii z perspektywy Europy Środkowej
Authors: Cyuńczyk Filip
Published: October 2021

Głównym celem artykułu jest przebadanie studium przypadku hiszpańskiej polityki pamięci i jej porównanie z aktywnością państw środkowoeuropejskich na tym samym polu. Główną hipoteza tekstu opiera się na stwierdzeniu, że poszczególne polityki pamięci zastosowane w Europie Środkowej mogą posłużyć w badaniu zmian na tym polu zachodzących w Królestwie Hiszpanii. Celem niniejszego tekstu jest pokazanie podobieństw i różnic pomiędzy hiszpańskim a środkowoeuropejskimi modelami radzenia sobie z przeszłością, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem zastosowania w nich narzędzi prawnych. Zaprezentowane zostaną więc specyficzne elementy postkomunistycznej konstytucjonalizacji w Europie Środkowej i Wschodniej, włączając w to wyekwipowanie poszczególnych regionalnych konstytucji w narracje pamięci. Dodatkowo chciałbym pokazać wpływ narracji pamięci na politykę instytucjonalną Hiszpanii i państw środkowoeuropejskich . Wreszcie chciałbym wykazać ukryty potencjał ustawodawstwa pamięciowego do przebudowy hiszpańskiej wspólnoty politycznej.
