La historia de la Flor en el “costumbre” otomí
Authors: España Soto Domingo 
Published: December 2018

<p>En este texto presentamos la historia de la Flor en el costumbre otomí, un mito que trata sobre la importancia que tiene la Luz (el Sol) en relación con la vida y fuerza misma de Dios y de los humanos, en particular de los otomíes de la Sierra Madre Oriental que habitan entre los estados de Hidalgo y Veracruz. El mito menciona que la Luz se fue y que pidió para regresar que se hiera el costumbre; que es “poner la flor” para conservar y “levantar fuerza”, para pedir y dar las gracias, por lo que se elaboran miles de ramitos para ponerlos en la Mesa (altar), en donde la música y las numerosas ofrendas se hacen necesarias para hacer peticiones de lluvia, de abundancia y salud. Mientras que en otros instantes y épocas del año, los otomíes agradecen por la “salud concedida” y las buenas cosechas. Bajo ese contexto, planteamos desarrollar una propuesta pragmática para acercamos al mito: presentar al autor-narrador del mismo, el contexto de la na-rración, el registro y la transcripción, parte del acto ritual y la exégesis local, para finalmente ver qué función tiene el mito entre los otomíes de la región de estudio. </p>
Poblamiento y ocupación de la Selva Central del Perú. La conquista del territorio asháninka
Authors: Vigil Nila 
Published: December 2018

<p>Este documento presenta una visión panorámica del proceso histórico de la población y ocupación de la Selva Central (comprendida entre los paralelos 10° y 14° de latitud sur y los meridianos 72° y 76° –al oeste de Greenwich–) en una extensión de aproximadamente 100 000 kilómetros cuadrados de territorio ancestralmente asháninka, pueblo indígena más numeroso de la Amazonia peruana. Se calcula que su población asciende a más de 52 000 personas. Su territorio tradicional ocupa en las últimas pendientes orientales de la Cordillera Central; en los valles de los ríos Bajo Apurímac, Ene, Tambo, Alto Ucayali, Bajo Urubamba, Perené y Pichis, en las provincias de Chanchamayo, Satipo, Oxapampa y en la Meseta del Gran Pajonal. El objetivo de este artículo es presentar al lector interesado una visión histórica de cómo se asentaron los asháninkas en el territorio amazónico y cómo han perdido terreno a lo largo de los contactos con la civilización blanca y mestiza. </p><div> </div>
Las nueve reencarnaciones de Matlatzinco. Comentarios acerca de la estructura del altepetl y un intento más de acomodar el rompecabezas terminológico matlatzinca
Authors: Borejsza Aleksander 
Published: December 2018

<p>Mucho antes de que los etnógrafos, lingüistas, historiadores y arqueólogos los descubrieran como objeto de estudio, los matlatzincas del centro y occidente de México cargaban ya con el estigma de una cultura en vías de extinción, marginada o asimilada por vecinos más poderosos. El pasado más remoto de los hablantes del idioma matlatzinca se divisa con mucha dificultad a través de fuentes escritas en náhuatl o en español, o de exploraciones arqueológicas. Aunque existen ya varios trabajos académicos destacados sobre el tema, el grupo de investigadores que se acercan a lo matlatzinca –dentro de la misma generación y la misma disciplina– sigue siendo muy reducido. En consecuencia, los estudios matlatzincas pocas veces se benefician de un vigoroso debate público e interdisciplinario. El artículo de Nadine Béligand “El señorío matlatzinca: una manera de abordar el altepetl”, dado a conocer el 15 de noviembre 2016 en las páginas de la revista electrónica Americae es sintómatico de esta situación, ya que tropieza con el problema de la renuencia de la autora a situar sus argumentos en el marco de la historiografía existente del Valle de Toluca, en particular la obra publicada de René García Castro. La tesis de una usurpación profunda e irreversible del poder señorial matlatzinca a raíz de las conquistas por parte de los imperios tenochca y español es exagerada y descansa en una serie de errores de apreciación menores, en cuanto a la identidad de ciertos lugares y personajes que pueblan las páginas de la historia política del Valle de Toluca en los siglos xv y xvi. Mis desacuerdos con Béligand tienen raíces más profundas en la literatura académica regional, pero éstas no han sido objeto de un debate explícito. Es por ello que aprovecho la crítica de este trabajo específico como un punto de partida para contrastar y enmendar algunas reconstrucciones previas de los patrones de asentamiento con base en fuentes documentales y arqueológicas, así como para proponer un delineamiento más puntual de las acepciones de las palabras matlatzinca y Matlatzinco tal como se refieren a personas, lugares o cosas.</p><div> </div>
Patrick Williams, De eso no hablamos. Los vivos y los muertos entre los manuches,

Published: December 2018

<p>La primera vez que leí este libro era aún un manuscrito, y lo vi como una obra maestra. Cuando Williams me anunció que su libro había sido rechazado por los primeros editores que contactó, dije, “entonces este libro es verdaderamente una obra maestra”. Hoy día estoy convencido de que continúa siendo una obra maestra. Ahora, ¿cómo se puede hablar de una obra maestra sin violentarla? </p>

Authors: Renk Arlene , Winckler Silvana 
Published: December 2018

O texto aborda as transformações socioeconômicas da Região Oeste Catarinense, enfatiza relacionalmente os processos sociais que construíram e seguem construindo os eventos econômicos na região. Mostra as heterogeneidades de processos, e a erosão da economia substantiva com a instituição da economia formal, a substituição das formas solidárias de trabalho pelo assalariamento e a consolidação desta. Aponta a transformação da agricultura e a instalação da agroindústria. Como não poderia deixar de ser, também o meio ambiente do trabalho, principalmente nas grandes indústrias, mostra a outra face de Jano, com o adoecimento e as lesões que afetam os trabalhadores. Por fim, registra-se o ingresso da mão de obra Kaingang e de haitianos e senegalês no contexto regional.
O Museu de Favela e a produção do espaço no Pavão-Pavãozinho e Cantagalo (Rio de Janeiro/RJ)
Authors: Portilho Aline Dos Santos 
Published: December 2018

O artigo apresenta reflexões sobre as “práticas espacializantes” desenvolvidas por sujeitos mobilizados em torno do Museu de Favela (MUF). Serão tomadas como fontes para a análise as representações instituídas no livro “Circuito das Casas-Tela, caminhos de vida no Museu de Favela” (2012). Dialogando com os trabalhos de Michel De Certeau (2011) e Benedict Anderson (2008), procura-se, a partir dos conceitos de “espaço” e “comunidades imaginadas”, problematizar as maneiras pelas quais estes sujeitos, ao cooperarem para a proposição de ações de resgate e registro de memórias dos moradores e das favelas, acabam por desencadear práticas que fazem daquele lugar, espaço, propondo também novas imaginações para aquela comunidade.

Published: December 2018

ABSTRACTObjective:To determine whether automated text messages sent daily to adolescent orthodontic patients improves oral hygiene more than weekly reminders.Materials and Methods:A blinded, prospective, randomized controlled trial was designed to evaluate the effects of automated messages on oral hygiene. Subjects were recruited from patients undergoing orthodontic treatment at the Texas A&M University College of Dentistry, Department of Orthodontics. They were being treated with a variety of fixed full appliances in both arches. Subjects were randomly assigned to either a once-a-week text message group or a daily text message group. There were 52 females and 27 males who were 12 to 17 years of age. Oral hygiene was measured at the beginning of the study and again 8.6 ± 0.9 weeks later.Results:The daily reminder group (N = 42) had significantly greater improvements in oral hygiene compliance than the weekly reminder group (N = 37). The daily score decreases were 48%, 21% and 19% for the bleeding index (BI), plaque index (PI), and gingival index (GI), respectively. The weekly score decreases were 27%, 14% and 13% for the BI, PI, and GI. There were no sex differences in hygiene changes during the study. The 42% of patients who completed the survey at the end of the study wanted more frequent messages and reported that messages related to decreasing treatment time were the most effective, while those related to oral hygiene were the least effective.Conclusions:Daily text messages are more effective at improving oral hygiene than weekly text messages.
A Simple Method for Treating Subgingival Class V Lesions
Authors: Giachetti L 
Published: December 2018

SUMMARY
Noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs) are steadily increasing. Unfortunately, NCCL restorations represent one of the less durable types of restorations due to problems, including isolation and crevicular moisture control, especially in cases where the cervical margin is covered by soft tissue. This article presents a technique that allows us, through the use of a common metallic matrix, to isolate and make accessible class V cavities with intrasulcular cervical margins. The advantages and disadvantages of the technique are presented.
Imagined, remembered, gendered
Authors: Karjalainen Noora 
Published: December 2018

This article examines the narratives of cosy other in the media representations of folk singers Julie Fowlis, Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh, Emily Portman, and Kate Rusby. I argue that the concept of cosy otherness derives from that of the internal other, but unlike it and the conventional post-colonial other, the cosy other is not ominous, competing, and negative, but something charming and unthreateningly different with singular cultural traits.
Here, the narratives of cosy other combine the narratives of origins, authenticity, and performance, which in turn are connected in the active processes of remembering and premediation, and construct the four singers as nostalgic, authentic, and feminine in the media. Thus, the concept of the cosy other is also built on remembering, the process of premediation within it, and cultural memory with its individual and collective levels affecting each other and working together in the process.
The aim of the study is to examine how the female folk singers are constructed as the cosy other in the media. The article endeavours to define the concept, to show how the narrative of cosy other is shaped, and to find out how cultural memory, remembering, and premediation work in this construction process. The theoretical framework of the paper is based on the concept of centre versus periphery (Chapman 1994), strategies of assimilation and projection in diminishing the threat of the other (Middleton 2000), discussions about the internal other (Bohlman 2000; O’Flynn 2014; Gelbart 2007), and studies on the concept of cultural memory (Erll 2009, 2011; Keightley & Pickering 2012).
Muistettu ja unohdettu musiikki
Authors: Välisalo Tanja , Karonen Petri 
Published: December 2018

Nuorten 1980-luvun musiikkikulttuureja ovat leimanneet mielikuvat kaupallisuudesta, pinnallisuudesta ja värikkäistä musiikkivideoista. Tutkimuksellisen kiinnostuksen kohteena ovat puolestaan olleet erityisesti erilaiset musiikilliset alakulttuurit. 1980-luvun nuoriso- ja musiikkikulttuurien suuret linjat ovat kuitenkin jääneet vielä tutkimukselliseen paitsioon. Tässä artikkelissa aikakauden nuorisomusiikkikulttuurien keskeisiä piirteitä hahmotellaan ristiinvalottamalla aikakautta kahden eri aineistokokonaisuuden, muistelukirjoitusten ja levymyyntitilastojen kautta. Aikakaudella nuoruuttaan eläneiden muistoja kerättiin Niin kasaria! -muistitietokeruulla yhteistyössä Suomalaisen Kirjallisuuden Seuran ja Svenska litteratursällskapet i Finlandin kanssa, ja vastauksia saatiin yhteensä 107. Kahden erilaisen lähdeaineiston rinnakkain käyttö tarjoaa myös metodisesti kiinnostavan esimerkin eri aineistolajien vertailusta.

Muistitietoaineiston tarkastelu kertoo, että kaupallisesti menestyneimmät, albumimyyntilistojen kärjessä 1980-luvulla olleet laulajat ja yhtyeet eivät yksin hallitse aikakauteen liittyviä musiikkimuistoja. Mainittujen musiikkiartistien määrä ja kirjo ovat suuria – mainituista 698 artistista alle puolet mainitaan vähintään kahdessa eri vastauksessa, joten merkittävä osa on vain yhden vastaajan muisteluissa. Koko muistelijajoukolle yhteisesti merkittäviä artisteja oli suhteessa varsin vähän: vain 29 artistia mainittiin vähintään kymmenessä muistelukirjoituksessa. Nämä luvut kertovat muistelijoille merkityksellisen musiikin laajasta kirjosta ja musiikin lähteiden moninaisuudesta. Vaikka muistelun kohteena on 1980-luku, niin itse kuunneltu musiikki oli peräisin paljon laajemmalta ajanjaksolta. Aineistojen vertailu paljastaa myös, että alueelliset ja kielierot saattoivat vaikuttaa merkittävästi musiikin kuunteluun: ruotsinkielisten länsirannikolla asuneiden muistelijoiden musiikkimaisema poikkeaa selvästi muualla asuvien suomenkielisten muistoista.

Published: December 2018

Azotobacter is Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria through the mechanism of nitrogen fixation and phytohormon production but this rhizobacteria has a role to control plant diseases. The objective of experiment was to evaluate the activity of Azotobacter as biofertilizers as well as biocontrol on long bean cultivation in damping off endemic land in Ambon city, Maluku Province. The field experiment was arranged in completely randomized block design. Inoculation of long bean by Azotobacter has been done by seed inoculation, soil inoculation before planting, and plant inoculation. Plants treated with Azotobacter received fertilizer NPK of ¾ or ½ dosage recommendation while control plants were received 100% NPK. Research showed that no differences between yield of long bean inoculated with Azotobacter sp +reduced doses of NPK with that of control plants. Any application method of Azotobacter inoculation lowered damping off diseases incidence significantly until 10 days after planting, but no effect of inoculation on late blight at 21 days after planting. This study confirmed that Azotobacter has dual activity to reduce the dose of NPK fertilizer and control damping off.

Published: December 2018

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the precision of an ELISA for measurement of serum cortisol concentration (SCC) in dogs, assess agreement between this ELISA and 2 validated chemiluminescence assays (CLAs), and evaluate the clinical implications of any bias associated with this ELISA when measuring SCC in dogs.
DESIGN Evaluation study.
SAMPLE 75 stored, frozen serum samples from client-owned dogs.
PROCEDURES Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay precision was evaluated by measuring SCC of pooled serum samples. Agreement with standard methods was evaluated with Spearman rank correlation, Passing-Bablok regression, and Bland-Altman analysis to compare SCCs obtained with the ELISA and the 2 CLAs. An error grid was used to evaluate identified bias.
RESULTS Within-laboratory coefficients of variation for pooled serum samples with low, medium, and high SCCs were 21.4%, 28.9%, and 13.0%, respectively. There was a high correlation between ELISA results (for all samples combined) and results of the 2 CLAs (CLA 1, r = 0.96; CLA 2, r = 0.97), but constant and proportional biases between the ELISA and CLAs were present at all concentrations. Clinically important disagreement between ELISA results and CLA results occurred in 16 of 63 (25%) samples, particularly with low and high SCCs.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results suggested that the rate of clinical disagreement between the ELISA and CLAs was sufficiently high to recommend that equivocal results obtained with the ELISA be confirmed by a reference laboratory. Further evaluation of analytic performance of the ELISA should focus on samples with very high and very low SCCs.

Published: December 2018

Abstract

Introduction: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a key role in the rapid activation of the innate immune response to a variety of pathogens. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Trichinella spiralis infection on the level of expression of the tlr4 gene in mouse intestines during the intestinal phase of experimental trichinellosis.

Material and Methods: The experimental material consisted of the small and large intestines of BALB/c mice infected with Trichinella spiralis sampled at 4, 8, and 16 days post infection (dpi).

Results: A statistically significant increase was demonstrated in the tlr4 mRNA level isolated from the infected mice jejunum at 4, 8, and 16 dpi over the uninfected control. Moreover, at 4, 8, and 16 dpi in the jejunum of infected mice, a strong positive reaction for the presence of TLR4 protein compared with that of uninfected mice was observed.

Conclusion: Infection with T. spiralis changes the expression of the tlr4 gene in the small intestine of the mouse host.

Abstract

Introduction: The extremely high genetic variation and the continuously emerging variants of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) of Southern African Territory (SAT) serotypes including SAT1, SAT2, and SAT3 make it necessary to develop a new RT-PCR for general use for monitoring viruses based on the updated genome information.

Material and Methods: A FMDV SAT-D8 one-step RT-PCR was established based on the 1D2A2B genes of the SAT serotype viruses with a multiplex primer set. FMDV A, O, C, and Asia 1 serotypes, other vesicular disease viruses, inactivated SAT viruses, and 125 bovine, ovine, caprine and porcine tissue samples collected from the Chinese mainland were included for evaluating the assay.

Results: The new RT-PCR was proven to be specific without cross-reactions with Eurasian FMDV, swine vesicular disease virus (SVDV), Seneca valley virus (SVV), or other common viral pathogens of cattle, sheep, goat, and pig. An around 257 bp-sized amplicon clearly appeared when the inactivated SAT viruses were detected. However, all 125 samples collected from FMDV-susceptible animals from the Chinese mainland which has not known SAT epidemics showed negative results.

Conclusions: A FMDV SAT-D8 one-step RT-PCR is a promising method for primary screening for FMDV SAT serotypes.
Rhetorical meaning
Authors: Schmerling Susan F. 
Published: December 2018

AbstractThis paper introduces rhetorical meaning to semantic theory; we use the term by analogy to tropes like metonymy in classical rhetoric, which yields ‘the American president’ fromthe White House—that is, it substitutes one referential meaning for another. Here we focus on two rhetorical meanings:intensificationandattenuation. Intensification is expressed in English and many other languages by total reduplication (an old old man); attenuation is exemplified by Spanish ‘synthetic’ diminutive forms (hombrecito‘little man’; cf.hombre‘man’) and English and French ‘analytic’ formations (My Little Chickadee(film);petit caporal‘Little Corporal’ (Napoléon Bonaparte)). Formally, a rhetorical meaning is arelationwith one referential meaning as its domain and, as its codomain, a set of related referential meanings, the particular set specified by the rhetorical meaning at hand. The selection from among elements of the codomain, which can even seem contradictory out of context, is in fact highly context-dependent and indicates a critical role for pragmatics in an overall account of this meaning type.
Representational Systems in Zoosemiotics and Anthroposemiotics Part II: On Meta-Representation and Human Language
Authors: Uhlíř Vilém 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Following the conclusions of the previous paper (Uhlir, this issue), this paper adopts a theory that is based on the notion that the essence of language is uniquely human, with no homologue elsewhere in nature, and advances the possibility that human language is discontinuous not only within communication systems but also within representational systems. Linguistic data from disparate sources in Homo sapiens are contrasted with evidence from animals. After briefly discussing the dialectics between the mosaic approach to language and the holistic approach to an integrated left hemisphere, the paper culminates in a proposal of a general zoosemiotic theory of “Representational Systems” and a special anthroposemiotic theory of “Meta-representational Systems”.
Risk Treatment and System Recovery Analysis of Gas System of Gas and Electricity Network of Latvia
Authors: Zemite L. , Kutjuns A. , Bode I. , Kunickis M. , Zeltins N. 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
The Latvian natural gas system is interconnected with transmission networks located in Lithuania, Estonia and Russia. Natural gas commercial metering is provided by GMS “Karksi” (Estonia) and by GMS “Kiemenai” (Lithuania). Natural gas is supplied to all larger urban areas in Latvia. Natural gas is supplied to Latvia along the Latvian–Russian pipeline only during the warm period of the year (April–September), and it is accumulated in the underground gas storage facility in Incukalns. During winter, gas from the underground facility is delivered to Latvian customers, as well as transmitted to Estonia and back to Russia. There is also a connection to Lithuania. Out of the gas supply disruption risks that are assessed at different levels, the essential one with a trans-border impact potential consists in the insufficient technical capacity of Incukalns UGS. Given the current technical possibilities, IUGS cannot pass the gas volume required for the Baltic States to compensate the gas supply deficit. The paper performs system recovery analysis after selected critical events. The paper provides a report describing the steps to be followed in order to restore the gas transmission system to normal operation after selected critical events. A very significant region of the power system of Latvia is the central part of Latvia and Riga region, where both of Riga CHPs, as well as Riga HPP, is located. The restoration time of the gas system of Latvia depends on the gravity of the situation and damage in the gas system and may range from several hours to several days.
