GESTÃO INTEGRAL: DIÁLOGOS COM EDUCAÇÃO PERMANENTE E CONTINUADA NAS ORGANIZAÇÕES
Authors: Andrade Elias Sebastião de , LAPOLLI Édis Mafra
Published: December 2018

O artigo tem o propósito de discutir a articulação entre educação permanente e continuada na gestão integral das organizações.  Essa articulação está recursivamente relacionada ao desenvolvimento pessoal e profissional. Dos discursos que permeiam os interesses corporativos emerge o tema da educação permanente e continuada como um novo paradigma para o desenvolvimento profissional e pessoal nas organizações.  Para tanto, foi necessário realizar revisão bibliográfica sobre os conceitos de educação permanente e continuada e resgatar o conceito de educação corporativa e gestão integral nas organizações. O maior desafio do processo é a mudança cultural e a incorporação dos novos papéis organizacionais, bem como a mudança no comportamento dos gestores e líderes a partir da conscientização dos benefícios do modelo integral de gestão. Para grandes corporações, o sucesso dentro da sociedade do conhecimento passa pelo emprego de uma universidade corporativa e pela implementação da gestão estratégica de pessoas.  No entanto, em sua operacionalização propõe-se discernimento entre as experiências de educação permanente e de educação continuada, que se complementam e proporcionam uma formação integral.
REFORMAR O PENSAMENTO HUMANO PELA VIA ECOFORMADORA DA TRANSDISCIPLINARIDADE
Authors: Paula Marcos Vinícius Guimarães de , Suanno João Henrique , Carvalho Teles Livia Alessandra de
Published: December 2018

Pensar a transdisciplinaridade como via para educação escolar é reconectar os saberes desconexos e sensibilizar os processos formativos escolares. É ainda realizar uma educação para o desenvolvimento humano. Nesse sentido, o objetivo desse trabalho é refletir brevemente sobre as contribuições da transdisciplinaridade para a educação, bem como discutir sobre a importância da ecoformação para (trans)formação do sujeito ecológico. A tríade sociedade-indivíduo-natureza precisa ser amplamente debatida e explorada no espaço social da escola para a ampliação das consciências dos aprendizes. Dessa forma, a ecoformação apresenta-se como um caminho para se desenvolver práticas trandisciplinares no chão da escola. Ecoformar é ensinar a cuidar de si, dos outros e da Terra-pátria. Assim, defende-se nesse ensaio teórico uma educação escolar que colabore no processo de reforma do humano proposto por Edgar Morin. A via ecoformadora da transdisciplinaridade surge como estrada a seguir.
Influence of Negative eWOM on Switching Intention
Authors: Bojei Jamil , Khalid Haliyana , Nadarajan Geetha
Published: December 2018

Despite discussions on strong and growing influence of electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) on consumer decisions, there is insufficient effort to validate negative eWOM as a key source of causal data towards mobile consumer switching behaviour. Studies have indicated strong negative eWOM leads to high degree of influence on switching behaviour (Zhang et al., 2015). However, these studies are based on consumers’ survey response on how the negative eWOM impacts their decisions with emphasis on the strength and valence of the negative eWOM. Limited studies explore the contents of negative eWOM itself and how the choice of words is reflective of consumer elements or contexts which are meaningful towards understanding the causality between negative eWOM and switching behaviour (Martins et al., 2013; Qahri et al., 2015). The content of the negative eWOM sheds light on consumer elements related to mobile consumer switching behaviour, described as issues and situations. This study identifies and validates the causality of key consumer elements highlighted in the negative eWOM in association with mobile consumer switching phenomenon.

Authors: Nazir Muhammad Imran , Tabassam Rehana , Khan Ifran , Nazir Muhammad Rizwan
Published: December 2018

This study investigates the causal relationship between banking sector development, inflation, and economic growth for six Asian countries (Bangladesh, China, India, Malaysia, Pakistan and Sri Lanka) over the period of 1970-2016. Using a Pedroni panel, Kao co-integration test, Panel Granger causality-based Error Correction Model, Dynamic ordinary least square (DOLS), and Fully modified ordinary least square (FMOLS), this study finds that the development of the banking sector generally has a positive relationship with economic growth in the long-run. This results show that in the long-run, monetary policy play a vital role in the economic growth. This study also confirmed the response causality between the indicators of banking sector development and economic growth. Based on the empirical findings, this research provides important policy implications to the banking sector and economic supervisory bodies in order to achieve the long run economic growth.

Authors: Overman J. Andrew , Kreher Michael S. , Gibbs Erin E
Published: December 2018

This article tells the story of Omrit in its evolution from a new archaeological site to a place of on-site conservation, the establishment of off-site exhibitions centered around a locus of regional cultural heritage, and future plans for a national park and nature reserve. We believe Omrit may serve as a case study of the stages other archaeological sites may ultimately experience. We discuss the initial stage of excavations, the development of in-situ conservation and stabilization, the decisions to embark on ex-site exhibits, the introduction of digitization of objects and finds, and conclude with a discussion of plans and proposals for the site done in concert with in-country authorities.
Can Jewish Ethics Speak to Sovereignty?
Authors: Cooper Julie E.
Published: December 2018

Sovereignty remains one of the most contested political issues of our time. Prominent scholars on the American left have argued that Jewish ethics provides useful resources for the critique of sovereignty. Against these scholars, this article contends that the fixation upon Jewish values is liable to hinder the development of a forceful rejoinder to sovereignty's defenders. To temper the enthusiasm for ethics as a framework for arbitrating conflicts over sovereignty, this article revisits an internal Zionist debate surrounding the relationship between ethics and politics. Drawing on the work of Jakob Klatzkin (1882-1948), this article argues that critics of sovereignty should downplay ethics, focusing instead on cultivating the political imagination required to envision and defend non-sovereign regimes.

China’s Natural Gas Demand Projections and Supply Capacity Analysis in 2030
Authors: Ji Qiang , Fan Ying , Troilo Mike , Ripple Ronald D. , Feng Lianyong
Published: December 2018

This paper builds an econometric model to analyze the income elasticity and price elasticities of sectoral natural gas demand and forecasts China’s natural gas demand up to 2030. The findings indicate that there is a long-term equilibrium relationship among sectoral natural gas demand, sectoral income and various fuel prices. The results also indicate that most price elasticities are smaller relative to developed countries; the effect of fuel prices on natural gas demand is partly offset by the government regulation. In the Business As Usual (BAU) scenario, China’s natural gas demand will reach 340 bcm and 528 bcm and its foreign dependence will reach 27.9% and 43.2% in 2020 and 2030, respectively. The forecast and discussion in this paper provide important insights into China’s energy policy design and pricing mechanism reform, and into the potential impact of China’s growing natural gas demand on global energy market dynamics.
Evaluating an Interconnection Project: Do Strategic Interactions Matter?
Authors: Debia Sébastien , Benatia David , Pineau Pierre-Olivier
Published: December 2018

High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) merchant transmission lines allow trade across separate power markets and often in different countries. Flows on existing cross-border lines are often assessed as suboptimal, which may be due to the light regulation that often prevails in these cases. This paper studies the impact of market power on HVDC interconnections as a determinant of imperfect arbitrage. We assess the impact of Physical Transmission Rights (PTRs) allocation on the management of an HVDC interconnection between a thermal and a hydroelectricity market, assuming dynamic water management. We use a two-stage game formulated as an Equilibrium Problem with Equilibrium Constraints (EPEC) to model the strategic trade between the New York (US) and Quebec (Canada) systems. The numerical model is calibrated with public data. We find that although the interconnection can create wealth, a high concentration of PTRs can destroy value because of dumping strategies. The impact of trade on local price levels may be of concern and calls for the functional unbundling of traders and generators.

Authors: Borkowska Beata , Banach Damian
Published: December 2018

The aim of the research was to determine physicochemical differences in winter wheat and rye varieties on the different Polish regions. The wheat samples, which were drawn directly from the trailers, came from agricultural holdings and grain elevators from various parts of the country. The samples were poured into plastic bags and analysed. The individual parameters for the samples of wheat and rye were determined as follows: moisture content was determined using NIR DA 7200 whole – grain analyser by Perten, test weight, falling number and odour. The research has shown that the moisture contents of individual samples do not differ substantially from each other. The wheat samples from northern Poland had the lowest average moisture value –12.6%. Differences in density of individual wheat samples differ from each other by over 4 kg/hl, whereas rye samples by over 3 kg/hl. Examined physicochemical properties in winter wheat and rye varieties coming from the northern and southern region of Poland met the requirements of the Polish norm. Having carried out a statistical analysis, no significant influence of cereal growing region on selected physicochemical properties of winter wheat and rye varieties has been proved.

Authors: Ciechomska Anna Agata
Published: December 2018

The aim of the study was to assess the degree, structure and spatial diversity of absorption of Regional Operational Programme (ROP) resources of the Mazowieckie Voivodeship in the 2007-2013 perspective in the field of renewable energy. The study used data from the KSI SI MIK database of projects completed and settled in years 2007-2015, supplemented with data from official websites. In the years 2007-2015, there were 2,619 projects completed. Only 70 of them concerned energy (and the Holding Fund – JESSICA). The total value of the projects was PLN 412 200 982.40, which accounted for 3.7% of the value of all projects implemented under the ROP of the Mazowieckie Voivodeship. Among these 70 projects, 16 did not concern renewable energy, but thermo-modernization of buildings, whereas in the next 23 projects, thermo-modernization was the main part of the project. The largest number of projects was carried out in the ciechanowski and warszawski wschodni subregions (10 each), and the least in the płocki subregion (2) and in the Warsaw Metropolitan City – 5. Solar investment was definitely the most popular. However, the analysis of the results indicates insufficient support for the RES sector in the context of the EU requirements.
AGRICULTURAL PERFORMANCE OF OIL-DEPENDENT ECONOMIES
Authors: Czech Katarzyna
Published: December 2018

The aim of the paper is to present the agricultural performance of oil-dependent economies. Based on oil rents as a share of GDP ratio, twenty of the most oil-dependent countries are selected. It is shown that food exports constitute a tiny part of total merchandise exports. It concerns all selected countries apart from Ecuador and Norway. Moreover, agriculture value added is a minor component of GDP for the majority of selected oil-dependent economies. Chad and Nigeria are distinguished by the highest agricultural value added to GDP ratio. Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, on the other hand, are among countries in which the ratio is lower than 1%. Many oil-dependent countries have neglected the rural economy since oil discovery. The agricultural sector is largely ignored in favour of the oil and gas industry. However, it should be emphasized that although agriculture constitutes only a minor share of GDP, in many oil-dependent developing countries, the agricultural sector still provides the main livelihood for most people.

Authors: Domańska-Felczak Teresa , Felczak Tomasz , Zabolotnyy Serhiy
Published: December 2018

The goal of the research was to determine financial situation of selected dairy cooperatives according to their strategies of trade credit. Ratios of liquidity, modified profitability and debt were used in the analysis. The research covered 18 dairy cooperatives operating in Poland. The financial situation of dairy cooperatives differed according to a trade credit strategy. Dairy cooperatives with conservative strategies of trade credit were characterized by the lower profitability and liquidity as well as higher debt ratios than companies using aggressive strategies. This gave an evidence of higher financial efficiency of entities with aggressive strategies of trade credit. Application of aggressive strategy of trade credit could stimulate the demand for goods and result in rising revenues and profitability.
SELECTED ASPECTS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PACKAGE 4. AGRI-ENVIRONMENTALCLIMATE MEASURES OF THE RDP “VALUABLE HABITATS AND ENDANGERED SPECIES OF BIRDS IN NATURA 2000 AREAS’ IN AGRICULTURAL HOLDINGS OPERATING IN THE AREA OF OSTOJA PISKA
Authors: Gotkiewicz Wojciech , Laszkowski Radosław
Published: December 2018

The aim of the article is to analyze the functioning of the agri-environmental-climate scheme as an instrument for the protection of agricultural landscape birds in the Natura 2000 area “OstojaPiska” in the Pisz district. Field research was carried out at the turn of 2017 and 2018 and covered 56 beneficiaries of the scheme. The basic research method was an interview using an interview questionnaire. The obtained results indicate that the most important motives for the respondents’ accession to the agri-environmentaclimate scheme and package 4 Valuable habitats and endangered species of birds in Natura 2000 areas and the "bird's" package were agri-environmental-climate payments as well as the relative ease and low costs of the package implementation. Research has shown that the scheme could be effective instrument contributing to the protection of avifauna areas used for agriculture, but it is not free from disadvantages, the most serious of which is the lack of verification of nature documentation, which may raise concerns about its reliability. It is also worth considering the introduction of obligatory tests that would answer the question of how the program affects the maintenance or increase of the number of individual bird species.
PROSPECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HEAT PUMPS MARKET IN POLAND IN THE CONTEXT OF THE NEW EU STRATEGY “A CLEAN PLANET FOR ALL”
Authors: Gradziuk Piotr , Gradziuk Barbara
Published: December 2018

The aim of the work was to assess the changes and perspectives for the development of heat pump applications in the context of the EU's strategy “Clean Planet for All” and the Energy Policy of Poland until 2040. The research material and source of information were studies and reports of the "EurObserv'ER" Consortium, the Central Statistical Office of Poland, the European Commission and the Ministry of Energy. The analyses covered the years 2009-2017 with a prospect until 2030. The research shows that the number of heat pumps in operation in the European Union in 2017 amounted to 34.4 million and in comparison to 2012 increased by over 170%. In the same period in Poland, their number increased more than four times, however, the produced quantity increased by only 64%. Despite such significant increase, Poland in terms of the number of installations and the share of heat pumps in obtaining energy from renewable sources is still characterized by a relatively low level of utilization of this potential. Its development may contribute not only to the fulfillment of commitments resulting from the climate and energy policy, but also to a significant contribution to improving the purity of atmospheric air.

Authors: Rakowska Joanna
Published: December 2018

The aim of the paper was to identify and compare the results of EU funds absorption from regional operational programs 2007-2013 by the rural communes of Śląskie and Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodships. The study was based on secondary data from the Local Data Bank of the Central Statistical Office and the SIMIK database. The financial results of absorption of EU funds from ROP s by rural communes differ significantly between the discussed voivodships and within Śląskie, while they are relatively unified in Kujawsko-Pomorskie. The structure of spending the funds obtained, by the SIMIK priorities, varies in both regions, although the very high share of expenditures on regional and local roads is the common feature. Only moderate correlactions between absorption value with average annual population and average annual revenues of commune budgets in kujawsko-pomorskie were statistically significant.

The empirical material was the results of own research carried out in 137 communes of the Małopolska province. The results of the research proved that in the years 2011-2017 there was a systematic increase in municipal fees. There was also a large diversity between communes (especially in the field of sewage disposal). The councils of some municipalities wanting to reduce the rates of fees paid by residents apply subsidies to adopted tariffs financed from local budgets.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN NATURALLY VALUABLE RURAL AREAS
Authors: Ślusarz Grzegorz
Published: December 2018

In the literature, the qualities of the natural environment are commonly indicated as a factor conducive to development. The main objective of the paper is an attempt to assess the development of the SME sector in valuable natural areas and its potential in shaping the socio-demographic processes of these areas, which are a kind of barometer for the development of a specific territory. The research covered five districts of the Podkarpacie region with the largest share of areas covered by various forms of nature protection – over 60%. These districts include: Bieszczadzki – 100%, Leski – 98.2%, Sanocki – 82.5%, Przemyski – 70.7%, Krośnienski – 63.4%. The comparative analysis covered the years 2013-2017. The research shown that theoretical advantages resulting from possessing valuable natural resources do not translate into the development of economic functions. Despite the high rate of enterprises per 10,000 inhabitants, their potential is too weak impetus for economic development (entities employing up to 10 persons dominate, of which a large part is made up of self-employed, economically weak firms). This results in a low attractiveness to live in these areas and unfavourable demographic processes.

Published: December 2018

The purpose of the study was an analysis of non-life insurance in agriculture on the example of the Dobrcz municipality. The studies were performed in March 2017. 40 randomly selected people participated in the study. Buying up compulsory and voluntary insurance has been analyzed. The purpose of executed study was also to show the most frequently chosen insurance companies and their offer. The study allowed to diagnose the level of farmers’ satisfaction with chosen insurance. Compulsory and voluntary non-life insurance bring with them certain advantages. It’s seen by farmers, who increasingly buy voluntary insurance in addiction to compulsory insurance. This was also the case in the studied municipality in which compulsory insurance is used by 100% of participants, whereas voluntary insurance by 40%. Awareness of insurance using farmers is increasing, because they know, that in case of the occurrence of an undesirable occurrence, they have certain backup and source of cash. This in turn is associated with the satisfaction of participants with the services of insurance companies.
The role of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins in the infection of influenza A virus
Authors: Wyżewski Zbigniew , Gregorczyk Karolina P.
Published: December 2018

Bcl-2 family consists proteins responsible for apoptosis regulation. Influence of those factors on the cell viability is essential in the context of viral infections. Antiapoptotic activity of Mcl-1, Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and Bcl-w may favor effective replication IAV by keeping infected cell alive. On the other hand, Bcl-2 plays antiviral role at the late stage of IAV infection. Limiting the transport of newly synthesized vRNP from the cell nucleus to cytosol, Bcl-2 prevents effective montage of the progeny virions. Moreover Bcl-2 is responsible for modification of the IAV HA phosphorylation and consequently for decrease in virus adhesive abilities. Preclinical studies suggest that treatment strategies reducing activity or the intracellular level of Mcl-1, Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and/or Bcl-w, should be projected. Antiapoptotic members of Bcl-2 family are described as potential targets of anti-IAV therapies that use substances such as IL-24, obatoclax, ABT-199, ABT-263 and ABT-737. On the other hand, the therapy elevating activity or intraneuronal level of Bcl-2 should be considered in the context of nervous system infections.

Published: December 2018

BackgroundFamily caregivers who provide care to seniors at no cost to the healthcare system are an integral part of the healthcare system. Caregiving, however, can cause significant emotional, physical and financial burden. We held a one-day symposium on how to best involve and support family caregivers in the healthcare system. The symposium brought together caregiv-ers, healthcare providers, administrators and policy-makers to identify needs and make recommendations to address these issues.MethodsParticipants engaged in conversation circles which were audio-recorded and transcribed. Data were qualitatively analyzed alongside written notes provided by participants.ResultsSymposium participants identified a lack of both orientation and education for healthcare providers about family caregivers and standardized processes for assessing caregiver burden. They highlighted a need to ensure that the family experience is captured and included as an essential component of care, foster a culture of collaboration, expand the notion of the healthcare team to include family caregivers, provide more integrated palliative care, and enhance policies and programs to acknowledge family caregivers.ConclusionThere is a need to recognize the essential role of family caregivers in seniors’ health and well-being, and to take on a more comprehensive approach to patient care.

Instituídos os critérios de inclusão: (a) artigo empírico; (b) com utilização de instrumentos para coleta de dados; (c) que assinalem as causas, as formas e o agressor, oito estudos foram analisados na íntegra. Os resultados apontam que a violência nos namoros entre adolescentes sofre incontestável influência de vivências agressivas prévias, normalmente, ligadas a pais, irmãos, amigos e relacionamentos anteriores. Nos artigos analisados, não há concordância absoluta acerca de prevalência de gênero do agressor, contudo os autores entendem que a violência reflete um padrão de continuidade do comportamento agressivo e, em diversas ocasiões, relacionada à violência psicológica. Portanto, para eliminar a prática da violência e sua reprodução, determinados padrões de comportamento instituídos em nossa sociedade deverão ser objetos de questionamento e constante reflexão.

O DESAMPARO E A INVISIBILIDADE DOS REFUGIADOS AMBIENTAIS: ESTUDO À LUZ DO CASO BANGLADESH

Este artigo visa a analisar a situação dos refugiados oriundos de catástrofes naturais, por desastres causados devido a ações antrópicas e por aqueles cuja causa é essencialmente ambiental, à luz do caso Bangladesh, considerado um dos países mais afetados pelo aquecimento global. Com esse desígnio, a partir de metodologia exploratória, utilizando pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, dispõe a respeito do conflito etimológico do termo “refugiado”, uma vez que considera-se haver uma exclusão dos refugiados ambientais e, consequentemente, geram-se dificuldades de estabelecer métodos eficazes de proporcionar asilo a esses indivíduos. Visa-se discorrer de modo a comprovar a complexa conjuntura em que essas pessoas se encontram, uma vez que, ainda que consigam se deslocar para outros territórios, há uma forte presença de xenofobia e uma dificuldade de adaptação dos indivíduos ao destino. Além disso, o estudo visa ressaltar a existência do Projeto de Limoges e a sua importância para a futura criação de dispositivos legais que compreendam o tema em sua especificidade. Conclui-se ainda que, embora não haja dispositivos que auxiliem diretamente no entendimento dos refugiados ambientais, esses indivíduos deslocados são, antes de tudo, titulares de direitos humanos e, portanto, é importante reconhecê-los como detentores dos direitos básicos de todo ser humano.

Una historia española del aguatinta = A Spanish History of Aquatint
Authors: Soto Calzado Inocente
Published: December 2018

Teodoro Miciano fue nombrado académico de Bellas Artes a punto de cumplir 70 años. Su discurso de ingreso habla con total naturalidad de práctica y teoría artística. Joven ilustrador para revistas y maduro grabador con excepcionales conocimientos y dominio técnico, su ensayo toma como eje conductor una de las técnicas más pictóricas de la calcografía, el aguatinta, trazando una breve pero ambiciosa historia. Preocupado por el devenir de las artes gráficas, plantea la problemática realidad de la obra gráfica original y del arte de las ediciones limitadas. Traza las líneas maestras del grabado europeo, describiendo profusamente la gráfica de Goya y reconociendo los hallazgos plásticos de Picasso en el mundo del grabado. Se analiza la clarividencia de sus ideas y su vigencia en la actualidad, con desarrollos en otros países que no han terminado de producirse en España.Teodoro Miciano was named Academician of Fine Arts nearing 70 years old.

San Norberto en algunas estampas flamencas del siglo XVII = Saint Norbert in some Flemish Engravings of the Seventeenth Century
Authors: Calvo Portela Juan Isaac
Published: December 2018

El interés de la historiografía artística española por las representaciones del santo de origen alemán, san Norberto, ha sido muy escaso. De ahí el interés de este artículo en el que abordamos el estudio de una serie de estampas de este santo, realizadas en Amberes a lo largo del siglo XVII. Como otros santos de medievales canonizados al calor del Concilio tridentino, se debido a que respondía al nuevo modelo de santidad defendido por la Iglesia: fue predicador de Amberes, fundador de una orden religiosa, defensor de la Eucaristía y se enfrentó al hereje Tanchelino. Todos ellos aspectos que vemos captados en estas estampas amberinas. También abordamos el papel crucial que tuvo el convento premostratense de San Miguel de Amberes, sobre todo gracias al abad Jan Chrisostomus van der Sterre que encargó muchas de ellas.The interest of the Spanish artistic historiography for the representations of the Saint of German origin, Saint Norbert, has been very scarce. Hence the interest of this article in which we address the study of a series of prints of this saint, made in Antwerp throughout the seventeenth century. Like other medieval saints canonized in the heat of the Tridentine Council, it was because he responded to the new model of sanctity defended by the Church: he was preacher of Antwerp, founder of a religious order, defender of the Eucharist and faced the heretic Tanchelino. All of them aspects that we see captured in these amberine prints. We also addressed the crucial role played by the Premonstratensian convent of San Miguel de Antwerp, especially thanks to the abbot Jan Chrisostomus van der Sterre, who commissioned many of them.
El silencio como límite: en torno a la afirmación estética de la memoria traumática = Silence as a Limit: Regarding the Aesthetic Affirmation of Traumatic Memory
Authors: Garriga Inarejos Rocío
Published: December 2018

Después de la tragedia del Holocausto surgieron enormes interrogantes respecto a la pertinencia de su representación artística. En los estudios que se han realizado al respecto pueden distinguirse dos tendencias: una se dio en los años 60-80, y la otra, que comenzó en la década de los 90, continúa extendiéndose hoy. Abordar este tipo de temas conlleva afrontar la cuestión del silencio y valorar toda una serie de aspectos éticos relacionados con la expresión artística. Cabe preguntarse cuál es el alcance que tiene esta noción para las artes.After the tragedy of the Holocaust, emerged huge questions about the appropriateness of its artistic representation. Can be distinguished two tendencies in the studies that have been done about it: one was in the years 60-80, and the other, which began in the 90s, continues today. Addressing such issues involves to deal with the question of silence and assess a some ethical aspects related to artistic expression. One should ask what is the scope that has this notion in the arts.
Definición, usos e historiografía de la miniatura-retrato = Definition, Uses and Historiography of Portrait Miniature
Authors: Rodríguez Marco Isabel María
Published: December 2018

Este trabajo tiene como principal objetivo realizar un estado de la cuestión de la investigación sobre la miniatura-retrato. Se trata de una materia poco estudiada en España, a diferencia de otros países como Inglaterra o Francia, a pesar de que ha habido importantes colecciones de miniaturas en nuestro país. Por otro lado, hay que destacar que estas piezas son de enorme interés para la investigación, pues revelan usos de la imagen altamente significativos para la historia cultural de las épocas moderna y contemporánea. Se ha realizado un análisis pormenorizado de la bibliografía existente, remontándonos a las obras publicadas en el siglo XIX hasta los trabajos más recientes, tanto españoles como extranjeros, subrayando el valor de los planteamientos interdisciplinares de la investigación actual.Miniatures and small portraits are highly significant to the cultural history of Modern and Contemporary periods. We have focused on portrait miniature, due to the lack of research on this area in Spain, even though miniatures had been deeply appreciated among private collectors. With the aim of attempting the state of the art, we have carefully analysed a variety of bibliographical references, starting with the first studies dated from the 19th century, finishing with the more recent ones, by Spanish and foreign authors. It is worth mentioning that, today, researchers are following an interdisciplinary methodology that we consider highly enriching.
Pervivencia de motivos islámicos en el Renacimiento: El lema «ʼIzz Li-Mawlānā Al-Sulṭān» en las puertas del retablo mayor de la catedral de Valencia = Pervivence of Islamic Designs in the Renaissance: Motto «ʼIzz Li-Mawlānā Al-Sulṭān» at the Doors of the Main Altarpiece of the Cathedral of Valencia

El aprecio que se tuvo por los tejidos islámicos desde el Medievo es patente en la pintura religiosa. A través de estas líneas se analiza la pervivencia de motivos ornamentales en el Renacimiento, en concreto, el uso de letras árabes a partir del estudio de tres escenas de las puertas del retablo mayor de la catedral de Valencia pintadas por los Hernandos. En ellas los maestros copiaron un tejido nazarí con una inscripción cuya traducción ha pasado inadvertida hasta este momento y que plantea distintas hipótesis sobre su utilización en la obra.The appreciation of Islamic textiles since the Middle Ages is evident in religious painting. The aim of this paper is to analyze the survival of ornamental motifs in the Renaissance, specifically, the use of Arabic letters from the study of three scenes of the doors of the main altarpiece of the cathedral of Valencia painted by the Hernandos. In them the Masters copied a Nasrid fabric with an inscription whose translation has gone unnoticed until now and that raises different hypotheses about its use in this masterpiece.
