Beyond the Subjective Experience of Visual Information in the Modern Media
Authors: Virketienė Austėja , Raišienė Agota Giedrė 
Published: November 2020

Abstract

Objective: According to researchers, visuality appeals to the cognitive aspects of image consumption, hence, the nature of information technologies becomes more important than the content itself. Based on this relevance, the article’s aim is twofold: when seeking to better understand the phenomenon of visual information to analyse the visual communication experience of public relation professionals who apply visual solutions to achieve a specific effect in their work.

Methodology: A quasi-structured in-depth interview of the experts and the method of interpretive phenomenological analysis were used to gather and process the data of the research.

Findings: The paper presents insights into the interaction between receiver’s visual information experience and one’s world view. The research revealed that the visual information influences a person’s perception and interpretation of a message when it serves as supplement for information alongside text in press, advertisement, etc.

Value Added: Based on the research, the visual information experience was defined as an instantaneous action of giving meaning to personal experience and imagination by finding the intersection of narratives between the image and oneself.

Recommendations: A narrow boundary exists between the stimulation and constriction of the observer’s imagination when analysing the visual message. With the help of image communication, a new reality can be created. To reach effective communication, it is recommended to avoid abstract images that allow the observer’s imagination to give it whole other meanings than intended by the sender of the message.

Published: November 2020

Abstract

Introduction
The influence of inflammation on the patterns of muscarinic 2 and 3 receptor subtypes (M2R and M3R), and α-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α-7 nAChR) expression in the porcine uterus was investigated.

Material and Methods
On day three of the oestrous cycle of gilts aged 7–8 months with body weight 90–120 kg, either an E. coli suspension (E. coli group, n = 5) or saline (Sal group, n = 5) was administered into the uterine horns via laparotomy or only laparotomy was performed on control swine (Ctrl group, n = 5). After eight days, and the onset of severe acute endometritis in the E. coli group, the uterine mRNA and protein receptor expression levels were determined using real-time RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively, with receptor localisation by immunofluorescence.

Results
The studied receptors were in the luminal epithelium, glands, blood vessels, and myometrial muscle cells of all gilts. The M2R mRNA level was lower in the inflamed endometrium compared to the Ctrl and Sal groups. Also in this tissue, the expression of M3R mRNA and protein was lower than in the Ctrl and Sal groups. The M3R protein level in the bacterially challenged myometrium was found to be increased compared to unadministered groups. In the endometrium of the E. coli group, the α-7 nAChR protein level was lower than in the Sal group, and in the myometrium it was reduced in relation to both the other groups. P values were ≤ 0.05 in all cases.

Conclusion
Inflammation causes alterations in the M2R, M3R, and α-7 nAChR expression in the pig uterus, suggesting their significance in the course and repercussions of uterine inflammation.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
The Kushk-e-Bahram Manto-type Cu deposit is located in central Iran, within Eocene to Oligo–Miocene volcanic strata which occur in the central part of the Uremia-Dokhtar Magmatic Arc (UDMA). Propylitization, silicification, argillization and carbonatization are the main types of alteration to have affected the pyroclastic and volcanic rocks. There are high amounts of oxide minerals, including malachite, azurite, hematite, magnetite and goethite. Three types of primary FIs have been determined in the Kushk-e-Bahram deposit, namely; I: two-phase liquid-rich FIs (L+V), II: mono-phase liquid FIs, III: two-phase vapour-rich FIs which have been identified based on petrographical studies. Based on FI studies of co-existing quartz and calcite, homogenization temperatures (Th) must have been between 67 and 228°C, with an average of 158°C. Moreover, salinity is between 14.0–30.3 wt% NaCl, equivalent to a 19.6% average. Fluid density values vary from 0.8 to 1.1 gr/cm3. Based on FI data and related diagrams, the depth of their trapping was estimated to be <200 m and ore formation occurred at pressures of <50 bars. Consequently, mineralogy, host rock and FIs characteristics in the Kushk-e-Bahram deposit are similar to the Manto-type Cu deposits in Mesozoic-Cenozoic volcanic belts of Iran and South America.
Remote sensing techniques for tracking changes caused by illegal gold mining in Madre de Dios, Peru
Authors: Adamek Katarzyna , Lupa Michał , Zawadzki Mateusz 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Illegal extraction of gold has grown to be a problem in many countries, causing the degradation of the environment. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate changes in tree cover and surface pollution. The development of a mine site has been observed and analysed with images acquired from Landsat and the Sentinel missions. The results of the study showed changes in the state of the environment, strongly suggesting the possibility of ongoing pyrite weathering processes and the transportation of clay materials down watercourses, which can cause not only the further deterioration of the environment but also slow down the natural regeneration of the forest. In addition, research has found disturbing changes in vegetation, showing a loss of tree cover in the Amazon Rainforest as high as 17%. The validity of using remote sensing methods to observe the development of individual mining sites and their characteristics was confirmed.

The Online Technology Acceptance Model of Generation-Z People in Thailand during COVID-19 Crisis
Authors: Chayomchai Ampol 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
This research aims to study the acceptance of the online technology of Thai people in Generation-Z during the incidence of COVID-19 disease. During this period, Thai people must quarantine themselves at home or work from home to prevent the outbreak of this disease and must comply with the laws of the Thai government. The researchers are interested in the Generation Z population because they are highly interested in technology. Previous literature and research used multiple models of acceptance and use of technology such as the Technology Acceptance Model, Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model. This study adapted various variables from many models in the past, including personal innovativeness, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, trust, and behavioral intention to use technology. The research uses questionnaires as a research tool. 457 usable questionnaires from online data collection were used for data analysis. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was performed. The researcher tested the hypothesis by assessment of the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Model. Research findings found that the behavioral intention to use online technology during COVID-19 disease is predicted by three key factors including performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and trust. Effort expectancy positively influences performance expectancy. In addition, personal innovativeness and the trust of users directly significantly affect performance expectancy and effort expectancy. The researcher suggests that the management level can use the findings in the planning of the organization’s management or marketers can utilize the results for the marketing strategy of the organization.
Bildaktivism i dansarkivet: Betydelsen av Anna Wikströms Akademi för dans
Authors: von Rosen Astrid 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The article combines Critical Archival Studies theory about agency and activism with an empirical exploration of dance history in Gothenburg, Sweden’s second city. It focuses on Anna Wikström’s Academy for Dance (1930-1965), an education which has not been explored in previous research. A previous member of The Swedish Ballet, Wikström offered her students courses in artistic dance, dance as physical exercise, pedagogy, and social dancing. Thereby, her broad education differed from the narrow, elitist Ballet School at The Stora Teatern. The article accounts for how the collaboration between choreographer and dancer Gun Lund and Astrid von Rosen, scholar at the University of Gothenburg, contributes new knowledge about the local dance culture. It is argued that archival and activist approaches make it possible for more voices, bodies, and functions to take place in dance history. As such, the exploration complements previous postmodern dance historiography (see for example Hammergren 2002; Morris och Nicholas 2017) with a Gothenburg example.

Published: November 2020

Abstract

Introduction. Some certain well-established training protocols exist for developing physical and physiological demands of a track cyclist. But still there is controversy on the effectiveness of combined training protocols. The present study was aimed to investigate the effects of 4-week concurrent eccentric cycling and plyometric training on cycling performance of male cyclists at the pre-competitive phase.

Material and methods. A paired study design was applied to 15 young (15.04 ± 1.01 yrs) Indian male track cyclists to assess the effects of proposed concurrent training protocol on body composition and various physical fitness parameters.

Results. Hydration status [TBW (~1%) and ICW (~1%)], glycogen content (~3%), muscular strength (~6-11%), trunk flexibility (~5%), anaerobic power output (~9%), endurance capacity (~5%), acceleration (~7%), leg explosive strength (~7%) and agility (~2%) were found to be improved significantly after the 4-week concurrent training protocol.

Conclusions. The concurrent intervening physical training protocol was intended to increase muscular hypertrophy, peripheral factor gradient, glycolytic and oxidative enzyme capacity with proper neuromuscular coordination which may ultimately help the cyclists to pedal at a faster rate with higher muscular power output even for longer time.
Board of Directors’ Size and Firm Performance: Evidence from Non-Financial French Firms Listed on CAC 40
Authors: Boussenna Hemza 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The study aims to investigate the relationship between board size and firm’s performance for a sample of non-financial French firms listed on the CAC 40 between 2005 and 2017. We estimated the firm’s performance using two types of metrics, the accounting-based measures (ROA and ROE) and the market-based measures (Tobin Q and MTB). By applying the panel data regressions (fixed-effects and random-effects), the findings show that there is a positive effect of board size on firm performance. In addition, our results show that the optimal number of the board size should be between 13 and 17 members in order to achieve good performance for non-financial French firms.

Authors: Elena Vasiu Diana 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The first case of coronavirus was registered in Romania on February 26. From this moment, Romania has become “infected”, just like the whole world, and the economy has suffered milder or more severe symptoms, depending on the activity field. Four months have passed since then, during which in Romania, the effects of the health crisis overlapped with a tense political situation, in an unfavorable economic context. Once the COVID-19 hits each country, the economic effects started to become visible in all the world’s financial markets, the financial market being among the first to suffer the impact of the COVID-19 crisis. This paper analyzes how the financial market in Romania was affected by the COVID-19 crisis.
Spatial distribution of four sympatric owl species in Carpathian montane forests
Authors: Šotnár Karol , Obuch Ján , Pačenovský Samuel , Jarčuška Benjamín 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Knowledge about spatial distribution of owl species is important for inferring species coexistence mechanisms. In the present study, we explore spatial patterns of distribution and habitat selection of four owl species u Eurasian pygmy owl (Glaucidium passerinum), boreal owl (Aegolius funereus), tawny owl (Strix aluco) and Ural owl (Strix uralensis) u ranging in body mass from 50 g to 1300 g, with sympatric occurrence in temperate continuous montane forests in the Veľká Fatra Mts., Western Carpathians, central Slovakia. Locations of hooting owl males were surveyed between 2009–2015 in an area of 317 km2. Spatial point pattern analysis was used for analysis of owl distribution. Random patterns of owls’ spatial arrangement dominate at both intra- and interspecific levels within the studied area. Only intraspecific distribution of pygmy owls and interspecific distribution of Ural owls toward tawny owls exhibited positive associations. This discrepancy with other studies can be explained in terms of pygmy owlsy preference for high-quality nest sites and/or spatial clustering in their prey distribution, and due to aggressive behaviour of dominant Ural owls toward subdominant tawny owls, respectively. Moreover, we found considerable overlap in habitat preferences between owl species, considering stand age, stand height, tree species richness, distance to open area, elevation, slope, percentage of coniferous tree species and position on hillslope, although pygmy owls were not registered in pure broadleaved stands, Ural owls were not registered in pure coniferous stands, and boreal and Ural owls were more common on slope summits and shoulders than tawny and pygmy owls. The observed patterns of spatial arrangement might suggest developed coexistence mechanisms in these owl species; differences between studies may indicate complex interactions between intra- and interspecific associations and habitat quality and quantity, food availability and owl species involved in those interactions on a landscape scale.

UN ESCENARIO PARA DOS ACTORES: COMERCIO FORMAL E INFORMAL, LA DOBLE ARTICULACIÓN DE LA JUSTICIA (SANTIAGO DE CHILE, 1796-1797)
Authors: Goicovich Francis 
Published: November 2020

El estudio de un pleito judicial entre mercaderes formales y comerciantes informales ocurrido a fines de la Colonia en la Plaza Mayor de Santiago, es una excusa para adentrarse en temáticas históricas como el enfrentamiento de clases sociales, sus códigos de conducta, y los divergentes conceptos de justicia sobre los que sustentaban su derecho a la actividad que ejercían en el principal espacio público de la capital del Reino de Chile. El caso presentado se enmarca en el contexto histórico de las consecuencias que para la elite criolla significaron las Reformas Borbónicas, dejando en evidencia no solo el inconcluso proyecto de disciplinamiento social llevado adelante por los funcionarios de la casa gobernante, sino también la creciente pérdida de confianza en la eficiencia del aparato monárquico.
ABSTRACT
The study of a lawsuit that involved formal merchants and informal traders at the late Colony times in the Plaza Mayor of Santiago, is an excuse to delve into historical topics such as the clash of classes, their codes of conduct, and the divergent concepts of justice on which supported their right to exercising such activity in the main public space of the Kingdom of Chile. The case presented here is framed in the historical context of the consequences that meant for Creole elite the Bourbon Reforms, giving account not only of the unfinished project of social regulation carried out by officials of the ruling House, but also of the growing loss of confidence in the efficiency of Monarchy.

PESOS MÁS, PESOS MENOS: EL COSTO DE LA MODERNIDAD EN LA CONSTRUCCIÓN DEL RAMAL FERROVIARIO TALCA–CONSTITUCIÓN.
Authors: Sánchez Andaur Raúl , Simón Ruiz Inmaculada 
Published: November 2020

El año 2015 se cumplieron cien años del tren ramal Talca-Constitución, situación que le valió el reconocimiento de Monumento Histórico. Este es el único ramal en actividad regular en Chile, subvencionado por el Estado, debido al importante rol social que presta como facilitador de la vida a personas y localidades que, de otra manera, quedarían en la más absoluta inconexión. En este estudio abordamos las declaradas motivaciones que impulsaron su construcción, las empresas involucradas y los problemas inherentes derivados de su ejecución, con la intención de dilucidar la efectiva motivación de construir una obra de esta envergadura justo en el momento en que el puerto fluvial perdía su condición de mayor, y estimar la cuantía de la real inversión que ella demandó al erario nacional.
ABSTRACT
In 2015, the Talca-Constitucion train branch line turned a hundred years, which allowed it to become a well-known Historical National Monument. This is the only train branch line with regular activity in Chile, which is subsidized by the Chilean state due to the important social role that it plays as a facilitator for locals and rural communities. Otherwise, they will be left out with no transportation. This study aims at describing the reasons for building it, the enterprises involved and the consequent issues. The rationale lays on finding out the reasons for building such a magnificent piece of work since it was built when the river port had lost its relevance. It also aims at estimating how much money the National Treasury Department invested on its construction.
LA ADMINISTRACIÓN DE JUSTICIA EN LA PROVINCIA ORIENTAL DURANTE LA OCUPACIÓN LUSO-BRASILEÑA (1817-1829)
Authors: Duffau Nicolás 
Published: November 2020

El artículo analiza las principales características que presentó la administración de justicia durante el período de la dominación luso brasileña en la Provincia Oriental, que se inició con la ocupación portuguesa a comienzos de 1817 y finalizó en 1829 tras la guerra de las Provincias Unidas contra el Imperio del Brasil y la desocupación de las plazas de Montevideo y Colonia. La historiografía uruguaya ha presentado el período de la ocupación como un tramo cronológico que se caracterizó solo por la ocupación militar. Sin embargo, la documentación del ramo de justicia brinda un nuevo punto de observación para analizar las relaciones entre las autoridades de la ocupación y las elites locales las cuales, contrariamente a lo que ha sostenido la historiografía nacionalista, no se mostraron pasivas ante las fuerzas extranjeras, sino que negociaron con portugueses y brasileños las reformas que consideraron más adecuadas para conformar un nuevo orden político.

The uruguayan historiography focuses the analyze of this period on the military occupation, However, the sources origined in the justice field give a new point of view to consider the relations between the ocuppation authorities and local elites, who negociated according their interessts with the luso and brazilian military occupying forces.
EL “ESCÁNDALO DEL ACEITE”, LA DEGRADACIÓN MORAL Y LA GUERRA AL COMUNISMO EN LOS INICIOS DE LA GUERRA FRÍA. CHILE, 1946-1947
Authors: Rojas Flores Jorge 
Published: November 2020

En este artículo buscamos comprender la forma en que una denuncia en particular (el llamado “escándalo del aceite”) contra la inmoralidad y la corrupción se transformó en un arma de acción política, en el polarizado ambiente de posguerra en Chile, entre 1946 y 1947, cuando los comunistas participaron del gobierno de Gabriel González. La descalificación moral al adversario no fue el único tema de debate en esta época, pero logró captar la atención de la prensa, al poner en duda los verdaderos objetivos que perseguían los comunistas.

Published: November 2020

El objetivo de este artículo es en primer lugar, reflexionar sobre el rol de las elites en los territorios, a través de la producción de poder, la generación de identidad, la confección de fronteras internas y externas y la construcción de Estado. En segundo término, este artículo constata dicha reflexión y pone en evidencia la importancia de las elites provinciales, alejadas del centro político-administrativo del país, como lo fue la elite de Osorno durante los siglos XIX y principios del siglo XX. Finalmente, ejemplificamos el rol de esta elite en un territorio particular, dando cuenta del accionar de tres familias de elite en Osorno, demostrando cómo sus prácticas influyen e impactan en el desarrollo del territorio austral del país.
