A New Vision for Europe’s Bioeconomy in a Post-COVID World
Authors: Finston Susan , Thompson Nigel 
Published: March 2021

In response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, the European Commission (EC) provided inclusive leadership, working as a team including EU member (national) officials, biopharmaceutical industry, NGOs, academic researchers and frontline health care personnel – acting with unprecedented collaboration and cohesion. The emergence in early 2020 of the greatest public health threat in a century required new approaches and new collaborations. While the United States failed to provide leadership, the EU did not disappoint.

Published: March 2021

Background A micro-arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is a minute, short shunt between an artery and a vein that does not pass through a capillary. We investigated the association between micro-AVFs and lymphedema using computed tomography angiography (CTA) and venous blood gas analysis.
Methods In 95 patients with lower limb lymphedema, the presence or absence of early venous return (EVR) was compared between patients with primary and secondary lymphedema. Furthermore, we investigated the difference in the timing of edema onset in patients with secondary lymphedema with or without EVR using CTA. In 20 patients with lower limb lymphedema with confirmed early EVR in a unilateral lower limb, the partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) was compared between the lower limb with EVR and the contralateral lower limb.
Results Secondary lymphedema with or without EVR occurred at an average of 36.0±59.3 months and 93.5±136.1 months, respectively; however, no significant difference was noted. PO2 was 57.6±11.7 mmHg and 44.1±16.4 mmHg in the EVR and non-EVR limbs, respectively, which was a significant difference (P=0.005).
Conclusions EVR and venous blood gas analysis suggested the presence of micro-AVFs in patients with lower extremity edema. Further research is warranted to examine the cause of micro-AVFs, to advance technology to facilitate the confirmation of micro-AVFs by angiography, and to improve lymphedema by ligation of micro-AVFs.
Caracterización del discurso de la comunidad de habla LGTBI. Una aproximación a la lingüística «queer» hispánica
Authors: Navarro-Carrascosa Carles 
Published: March 2021

Toda subcultura forma una comunidad lingüística particular en la que, aunque se comparta la lengua con el resto de la sociedad, varía el habla en ciertos aspectos. Es el caso de la comunidad de habla LGTBI, que se hace servir de un léxico peculiar, así como una fraseología característica, unas estructuras gramaticales especiales y, en definitiva, unos recursos pragmáticos muy llamativos que tienen como objetivo mitigar ciertos enunciados, intensificar otros en determinados contextos y construir actos de habla afiliativos que expresen solidaridad social. Por otro lado, cumple una función muy importante en la construcción identitaria de sus usuarios. En este trabajo se propone un análisis pragmalingüístico aproximativo que sirva como introducción a los estudios de lingüística queer dentro del hispanismo.
Every subculture forms a particular linguistic community in which, although language is shared with the rest of society, speech varies in certain aspects. This is the case of the LGTBI speaking community, which uses a peculiar lexicon, as well as a characteristic phraseology, special grammatical structures and, in short, very striking pragmatic resources which aim is to mitigate certain statements, intensify some others in certain contexts and build affiliate speech acts to express solidarity. In addition, it plays a very important role in the construction of the identity of the speakers. This paper proposes an approximate pragmalinguistic analysis that serves as an introduction to queer linguistic studies within Hispanicism.
Del tiempo al conocimiento del tiempo. Un estudio a partir del léxico del español hacia un diccionario de unidades temporales
Authors: Macazaga Ernesto , De León Federico , Costa Sylvia , Montenegro Yamila 
Published: March 2021

En este artículo presentamos algunas observaciones destinadas a describir la representación que la mente se hace del tiempo desde la perspectiva que ofrece el lenguaje. A diferencia de la abundante bibliografía dedicada al estudio de los tiempos verbales y la sintaxis de la temporalidad, nuestro estudio parte del léxico, en particular del léxico del español. El examen de los datos nos condujo a proponer una concepción particular de unidad temporal, así como a una clasificación de estas expresiones y a una percepción de los enlaces que las asocian, formando así redes semánticas. Estos hallazgos serán recogidos y exhibidos en el Diccionario de unidades temporales del español, obra en construcción cuyas características se exponen aquí.
In this article we present some remarks with the aim to describe how time is represented in the mind from the viewpoint of language. While there is a plethora of bibliography on the study of verb tenses and the syntax of time, our research stems from the study of the lexicon, particularly in the Spanish lexicon. The analysis of our data led us to propose a particular way of understanding the concept of temporal unit, as well as a classification of these expressions and an understanding of the connections between them, thus constructing semantic networks. These findings will be collected and exhibited in the Diccionario de unidades temporales del español, a work in progress whose characteristics will be presented here.
Léxico agrícola en el siglo XVII: herramientas de corte
Authors: Morala Rodríguez José Ramón 
Published: March 2021

El objetivo del trabajo es revisar la terminología de un campo muy específico del léxico agrícola en el siglo XVII: las herramientas de corte. Es decir, las que podríamos englobar bajo hiperónimos como hoz, hacha, rozón o guadaña. Para ello se utiliza un corpus, el CorLexIn, que se nutre de documentación notarial sobre registros de bienes. El estudio es, por tanto, histórico pero también diatópico, por lo que los datos obtenidos se cruzan con los atlas lingüísticos modernos, en los que esos mismos conceptos suelen aparecer regularmente.
This study focuses on a review of the terminology related to a very specific field of agricultural vocabulary: cutting tools, that is, those which we could refer to using hypernyms like sickle, axe or scythe. With this purpose, we have used CorLexIn corpus, a corpus based on notarial records that contain mostly inventories of goods. Our work provides a historic perspective, but also diatopical, therefore our results have been collated with the information supplied by modern linguistic atlases, in which these concepts are usually included
Los linajes de la vid en el «Libro de agricultura» de Gabriel Alonso de Herrera y su vaciado en el «Diccionario de Autoridades»
Authors: Sánchez Martín Francisco Javier 
Published: March 2021

El Libro de agricultura de Herrera es una obra fundamental de la producción textual científica del Renacimiento español por la riqueza del vocabulario recopilado, de ahí que, en este trabajo, se atiendan las particularidades terminológicas de algunos de los contenidos léxicos tratados en el libro segundo, dedicado al conocimiento de las viñas y al cultivo de la vid. Se desarrolla, así, un análisis lexicológico de las voces referidas a las tipologías de uva y vino, estudio que se acompaña de la revisión de las fuentes manejadas por Herrera para determinar su repercusión sobre este vocabulario. Además, se examina la incidencia de este léxico en la tradición lexicográfica española, particularmente la recepción del tratado herreriano en el Diccionario de Autoridades.
Gabriel Alonso de Herrera’s Libro de agricultura is a fundamental work of the Spanish Renaissance due to the richness of the vocabulary collected. In this work, we deal with the terminological particularities of some of the lexical contents described in the second book, dedicated to the knowledge of the vines and the cultivation of the vine. Therefore, we carry out a lexicological analysis of the voices referring to the grape and wine typologies, a study that is accompanied by a review of the sources handled by Herrera to determine their impact on this vocabulary. In addition, we examine the lexicographical treatment of this lexicon, particularly the effect of the Herrerian treatise in the Diccionario de Autoridades.
Institutional Experimentation, Directed Devolution and the Search for Policy Innovation
Authors: Peetz David 
Published: March 2021

One response to the employer’s search for “flexibility” (most evident in the “platform economy”) may be “institutional experimentation,” i.e., changes to institutions and how they relate to organizations and labour standards. Our question: “What form of institutional arrangement can best enable the lessons of policy experimentation to be learned and disseminated?”
Under directed devolution, as proposed here, legal entitlements or obligations would be set at a higher level (say, a national jurisdiction). A lower level (“subsidiary bodies”) would be required to work out detailed implementation of those standards, with a view to protecting the affected workers’ interests. The subsidiary bodies might cover specific industries or groups of industries. They may need to be quite innovative. Results would be evaluated and ideas generated. By emphasizing flexibility and learning, directed devolution enables actors to learn from the experiments of other actors. One such example is the regulation of New York’s road passenger transport industry in 2019, a highly innovative attempt to convert a high-level time-based minimum standard into a practical, local solution.
Directed devolution is a form of multi-level policy-making, with some similarities to the concept of subsidiarity, but more tightly integrated. Other relevant but distinct forms of multi-level bargaining include the ILO Conventions, the Bangladesh Accord and several forms of regulation adopted in Australia. Actors and policy-makers should have long-term strategies, be careful in their processes of selecting institutional members, and be prepared to deal with powerful opposition.
Directed devolution can be useful wherever establishing enforceable general principles is important and can make a real difference, but there are complications with implementation if circumstances vary considerably among organizations or industries. Devolution can be achieved without losing enforceability, and this can be done without shifting power away from those with less power. Directed devolution is a complement to, not a substitute for, specific regulatory interventions.
Excavating Organizational Assumptions about Cultural Change: The Unintended Consequences of Safety Committee Initiatives
Authors: Gosen Dora , Mielly Michelle 
Published: March 2021

This study contributes to the emerging literature on the interplay between safety committees and employee perceptions of organizational safety culture. Creating, managing and maintaining a safety culture in organizations involves significant investment in the establishment of safety committees. The role of such committees in improving safety culture perceptions has remained underexplored in the safety management and organizational literature.This study addresses that gap and focuses on a safety committee within the facilities management operations of a large American academic institution. The objective is to generate understandings of how a committee can influence organizational cultural change and impact employee perceptions of safety.Using Schein’s organizational culture model as a prism, we unpack the employees’ implicit cultural beliefs. Data from over sixty employee interviews revealed that formation of the Safety Committee resulted in unintended consequences in terms of employee perceptions.Employees attributed most safety-related actions to the committee when, in fact, the managers and supervisors had actually carried them out. Thisoverestimationof committee activities and concomitantunderestimationof managerial actions by employees was an unintended consequence of establishing a committee. Employees, in fact, collectively attributed all positive changes in the organizational culture to the committee. The committee ultimately influenced the employees’ basic assumptions, such change being, according to Schein, a prerequisite for organizational cultural change.This study, therefore, contributes to the literature by proposing that unintended consequences can operate in three different ways to support organizational change. First, unintended consequences can promote positive outcomes; second, they can reveal a new understanding of committees, which under certain circumstances can act as a proxy for management and encourage positive perceptions of managerial commitment. Lastly, unintended consequences can provide a means to detect and ‘excavate’ hidden, implicit assumptions that drive organizational culture’s deepest layers.
Les coffee shops
Authors: Bantman-Masum Eve 
Published: March 2021

Lieu par excellence de consommation du café en Australie, le coffee shop est une importation culturelle récente en France et, à ce titre, un terrain d’observation idéal des effets contemporains de la mondialisation. En nous appuyant sur des données empiriques recueillies par observation participante entre 2015 et 2020, nous livrons une analyse des coffee shops comme supports de modes de vie mobiles qui mettent en évidence trois processus centraux : la redéfinition des normes de consommation du café en France à l’aune d’un standard anglo-saxon ; l’affirmation générationnelle d’une identité par l’expérience de consommation différenciée ; la réinvention de l’élitisme français. Lieux d’affirmation d’une identité qui passe par des pratiques liées à la mobilité (cyclisme, communication en ligne, bilinguisme, etc.), les coffee shops participent d’une économie de l’expérience qui reproduit en France des codes de consommation mondialisés. Ce sont des espaces de glocalisation, de production d’identités hybrides, aménagés par des intermédiaires à l’origine d’arrangements subtils, voire acrobatiques entre tradition (et même nationalisme) et mondialisation.
Mobilités et urbanisme patrimonial
Authors: Hayes Matthew 
Published: March 2021

La popularité croissante des modes de vie mobiles a d’importantes conséquences pour les communautés urbaines où ces mobilités sont souvent manifestes. Les modes de vie mobiles contribuent à l’appropriation des espaces bâtis par des classes sociales plus mobiles que d’autres, à l’instar des retraités des pays à revenus élevés qui expérimentent de nouvelles façons de vivre et de vieillir dans une culture étrangère. L’émergence et la popularité de ces mobilités affectent la circulation dans l’espace urbain et son usage, particulièrement pour les résidents urbains à faibles revenus. Cet article se penche sur les impacts des personnes ayant adopté un mode de vie mobile Nord-Sud sur trois villes inscrites au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO : Cuenca (Équateur), Rabat (Maroc) et Lisbonne (Portugal).
De la migration de style de vie au mode de vie mobile
Authors: Amit Vered , Kerbiriou Anne-Hélène 
Published: March 2021

L’une des critiques le plus souvent adressées au concept du « paradigme de la mobilité » de Mimi Sheller et John Urry (2006) est qu’il englobe trop de types de mobilité différents et que, ce faisant, il risque d’occulter d’importantes distinctions entre les motivations, les circonstances, les formes et les conséquences des déplacements à travers le monde. Mais il y a aussi des avantages importants à élargir la notion de « mobilité ». Tout d’abord, plutôt que de traiter a priori les différentes formes de mobilité comme des silos de recherche distincts, ce type d’expansion nous permet d’interroger les relations, les chevauchements et les intersections ainsi que les distinctions entre les différents modes de déplacement dans le monde. Dans ce traitement, la mobilité devient un cadre permettant d’élargir l’éventail des questions sur la mobilité que nous pouvons approfondir plutôt que de présupposer les réponses par le biais d’une classification préalable. Mais les premières discussions (par exemple Cohenet al.2015) introduisant l’idée de « mode de vie mobile » paraissent impliquer une tentative de chevauchement des interprétations tant restrictives qu’élargies de la mobilité, ce qui n’est pas toujours aisé. Dans cet essai, je souhaite faire valoir que le fait de lancer des discussions sur le mode de vie mobile en le distinguant d’autres formes de déplacement telles que la migration permanente, temporaire ou saisonnière sape une partie des attentes liées à cette notion. Le passage, dans la terminologie, de « migration de style de vie » (lifestyle migration) à « mode de vie mobile » (lifestyle mobility) peut et doit permettre d’examiner de manière plus ouverte ou plus large la relation entre le mode de vie, le volontarisme, le travail, les voyages, les séjours et l’installation, les projets de vie, les concours de circonstances et le hasard. Autrement dit, la notion de « mobilité liée au mode de vie » peut être plus utile si elle échappe à une définition restrictive au profit d’une notion plus élargie qui s’avérera par conséquent utilement ambiguë, avec laquelle il est bon de réfléchir.
On the Record: Sissieretta Jones and Black Feminist Recording Praxes
Authors: Moriah Kristin 
Published: March 2021

In this article, I examine how Sissieretta Jones (frequently described as America’s first Black superstar, among other superlatives) strategically leveraged her European performance reviews in order to increase her listenership and wages in the United States. Jones toured Europe for the first (and only) time from February until November in 1895. According to clippings that she provided to African American newspapers, the singer performed at the renowned Winter Garden in Berlin for three months. Sissieretta Jones also claimed that she performed for Wilhelm II, the last German Emperor and King of Prussia, at his palace and was subsequently presented with an elaborate diamond brooch for her performance. Afterward, the singer told the African American newspaper the Indianapolis Freeman that she would like to live in Europe permanently. Her biographers frequently cite the success of this trip and its symbolic importance for African Americans. And yet, evidence of these events in the archives of major German newspapers is elusive and contradictory at best, if it exists at all. Nevertheless, after the much-hyped tour, her career would take many twists and turns. Sissieretta Jones eventually performed in venues like Carnegie Hall and Madison Square Garden. She was the highest-paid Black female performer of the nineteenth century and a role model for future generations of Black performers.
Simultaneous determination of two galangin metabolites from Alpinia Officinarum Hance in rat plasma by UF LC-MS/MS and its application in pharmacokinetics study
Authors: Liu Rangru , Li Hailong , Wei Na , Tan Yinfeng 
Published: March 2021

Galangin has multiple pharmacological efficacies, such as anti-cancer, anti-inflammation and anti-oxidation. Galangin can be rapidly converted into glucuronidated metabolites in vivo. This study aimed to establish an UFLC-MS/MS analytical method to simultaneously determine the concentrations of two glucuronidated metabolites of galangin, galangin-3-O-β-D-glucuronic acid (GG-1) and galangin-7-O-β-D-glucuronic acid (GG-2) in rat plasma. After oral administration of galangal extract (0.3 g/kg), blood samples were collected from the orbital sinus, then treated by methanol precipitation and further gradient-eluted with Phenomenex Kinetex 2.6 µm XB-C18 column. The mass spectrometer was manipulated in the negative electrospray ionization (ESI) and selected multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode for the analytes. The precursor-to-product ion pairs applied for GG-1, GG-2 and chrysin (as the internal standard, IS) were m/z 445.2→269.0, 445.2→268.9 and 253.0→142.9, respectively. The results showed that the linear ranges for both GG-1 and GG-2 were 2.0–2000.0 ng/mL (r2 > 0.995). The inter- and intra-day precision were 89.3%–109.2%, RSD was less than 15%, and the repeatability was good. The recoveries of both metabolites and IS were over 89%, and matrix effect was within 15%. The validated analytical method was further applied to study the pharmacokinetic profiles of GG-1 and GG-2 in vivo. The pharmacokinetic parameters suggested that Tmax of GG-1 was equivalent to that of GG-2, and MRT0-t, t1/2 of GG-2 were a little higher than those of GG-1. Importantly, AUC0-t and Cmax of GG-2 were almost twice as those of GG-1. In short, the validated UFLCMS/MS analytical method was feasible to simultaneously determine two galangin metabolites GG-1 and GG-2 in rat plasma and further analyze in vivo metabolism of galangin.
The Effect of Selected Ripening Agents on the Physico-Chemical Properties and Sulphide/ Sulphate Distribution of Banana (Musa Sapientum) Fruit
Authors: Orisa C. A. , Usoroh C. I. 
Published: March 2021

This study aimed at evaluating the effect of two ripening agents (calcium carbide and kerosene fumes) on the physiochemical properties and sulphide/sulphur distribution of banana fruit. Freshly unripe banana fruit were treated with calcium carbide powder and kerosene fumes and ripened within 48 hrs. Fruit samples were also ripened naturally and served as control. The samples were analyzed for physicochemical properties and sulphur/suphate distribution (outer and inner). The result of physicochemical analysis revealed a significant (p<0.05) decrease in pH (5.43-4.75), total titratable acidity (TTA) (5.03-0.47%), moisture (75.87-67.13%), carbohydrate (11.14-5.09%) and vitamin C (0.27-0.002mg/100g) with an increase in total soluble solids (2.00-19.30oBrix) following ripening process. Amongst the ripened fruits, fruits ripened with calcium carbide had highest TTA (1.63%) and moisture (74.75%). Accelerated ripened banana fruits had low pH>5 and higher TSS than naturally ripened sample. The concentrations of sulphur/sulphide (0.29-1.85mg/kg) were below the limit of 50 mg/kg indicating that the fruits were still safe for consumption against health threats posed by high concentrations of sulphate/sulphide. This study therefore quantified the changes in physicochemical properties of artificially ripened banana fruits and their possible health hazards. The study is very useful particularly in relation to the health hazards associated with chemical treatment for banana ripening. This will be useful to banana fruit sellers as it may help to optimise the ripening practices which may lead to reduce the safety and health concerns of the consumer.
