Revolutionary Paths
Authors: Bess Michael Kirkland 
Published: March 2016

Through an examination of the political and legal debates over the role of road building in Mexico between 1920 and 1938, this essay shows how these debates became a symbol of nationalist “progress” after the military phase of Revolution. During this time, the Mexican state confronted foreign commercial interests as federal, state, and local officials launched construction efforts for new motorways. Legal and bureaucratic reforms emphasized national sovereignty over Mexico’s transportation infrastructure, challenging private ownership of roads and limiting foreign investment in the highway system. Road building represented an important moment of historical continuity between the liberal regime under Porfirio Díaz and the revolutionary states that followed. This article contributes to the scholarly literature on state formation in Mexico, concentrating on how government officials, the courts, and everyday citizens shaped the country’s politics of economic development and regional mobility.
A través del examen de los debates políticos y legales en torno a la construcción de carreteras en México entre 1920 y 1938, este ensayo muestra cómo dichos debates se convirtieron en un símbolo de “progreso” nacionalista tras la fase militar de la Revolución. Durante este tiempo, el Estado mexicano se enfrentó a los intereses comerciales extranjeros al tiempo que los funcionarios federales, estatales y locales emprendieron esfuerzos para la construcción de nuevas autopistas. Las reformas legales y burocráticas hacían énfasis en la soberanía nacional sobre la infraestructura de los transportes en México, desafiando así la propiedad privada de las carreteras y limitando la inversión extranjera en el sistema de autopistas. La construcción de carreteras representó un importante momento de continuidad histórica entre el régimen liberal de Porfirio Díaz y los Estados revolucionarios que le siguieron. Este artículo contribuye a la literatura especializada sobre la formación del Estado en México, concentrándose en la forma en que los funcionarios del gobierno, las cortes y los ciudadanos de a pie conformaron la política de desarrollo económico y movilidad regional del país.

Mesenteric cysts are benign cystic lesions. Here, we present the case of a patient with abdominal pain, which was diagnosed as mesenteric cyst.
A 28-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency department (ED) with abdominal pain and distention. Abdominal palpation revealed a smooth-surfaced mass palpable in the left upper quadrant. Ultrasonography depicted a hypoechoic heterogeneous mass-like structure with a size of 15 × 12 cm. Computerized tomography (CT) showed a well-defined cystic structure with a size of 12 × 12.5 cm near to the duodenum and pancreas. The patient was admitted, and the cystic structure was drained with a percutaneous drainage catheter; then, sclerotherapy was performed using ethyl alcohol with the aid of ultrasonography. The material was sent to the pathology lab and revealed negative results for malignant cell and mucin. The patient underwent a control CT with contrast, which revealed the catheter at the site of the operation and no cystic lesion after procedure. He was discharged 1 week after the procedure.
Mesenteric cysts are extremely rare benign lesions of the abdomen, and emergency physicians must consider this disease in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain. The percutaneous drainage technique performed on our patient is a safe technique for the treatment of selected patients.
An unusual radiological presentation of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the colon
Authors: Swann Joanna , Kaczynski Jakub 
Published: March 2016

We report a case of an elderly patient presenting with the left iliac fossa mass. The provisional diagnosis included an inflammatory diverticular mass or sigmoid colon cancer. Interestingly, computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis demonstrated the left incarcerated Spigelian hernia containing an inflamed loop of the colon with signs of an early strangulation. However, at operation, a mucinous tumor was found involving the descending and upper sigmoid colon. The tumor eroded through the anterior abdominal wall, which was excised “en bloc.” In the presented case, CT findings suggestive of a benign etiology were misleading. This potentially could have had significant consequences if the patient was treated conservatively.
This case highlights that clinical history and examination remain the core components of a safe surgical practice. Clinical judgment cannot be substituted even by the best quality imaging.
Therefore, we feel that it is important to share our experience of the successful management of the presented case.

Pedagogía social e interculturalismo: una lectura posible
Authors: Núñez-Pérez Violeta 
Published: March 2016

El texto consiste en una aproximación, desde una perspectiva crítica de la Pedagogía Social, al concepto de “interculturalidad”. Parte de la consideración del “inter” o “entre” e interroga su significación de diferentes discursos de algunas de las disciplinas que se han dedicado a ese tema, en particular de la Antropología y la Filosofía. Después, el texto ubica el concepto de “entre” en una lógica intersticial que lleva al concepto de “hibridación”. Desde estas consideraciones teóricas, se aborda una experiencia realizada en Barcelona. Allí se puede observar cómo se encuentran y mezclan elementos de diferente procedencia cultural que dan lugar a dinámicas productivas y culturales no previstas con anterioridad y que involucran a profesionales, vecinos, alumnos y maestros de escuelas del barrio, jubilados, etc. Se trata de un espacio “entre”, de hibridación, cuyos efectos no son previsibles.

The exponential growth of Singapore’s population from the influx of migrants over recent years, coupled with an aging population, has resulted in a need to increase the number of doctors and, in addition, raise their expertise. The British-based system of specialist training was inherited by Singapore and it consisted of two time-based phases: Basic Specialist Training and Advanced Specialist Training. However, in June 2010, the United States-based Residency system was adapted because it was curriculum-based with a more structured framework. This change in systems has resulted in a number of problems such as: (a) additional faculty to train; (b) adequate manpower backfill; (c) adequate resources for residents, including new infrastructure to facilitate learning, and (d) the usual anxiety associated with such a major change, especially from those who did not see the need to change the current system. Since manpower backfill was a key issue, overseas specialist staff and non-specialist doctors were recruited to facilitate protected training time for residents. In addition, there was a redesign of service work for healthcare personnel. Although these solutions have helped to alleviate many of the problems, the challenge facing the program now is its sustainability since it has proven to be resource intensive.
Diagramas de interacción axil-flector en secciones doble “T”. Empleo de programa Matlab en aplicaciones estructurales a nivel de sección (parte I) = Axial-bending interaction diagrams for “I” sections. Structural applications related to section study usin
Authors: Rodríguez Morales Sergio

El método multicapa es una potente herramienta de cálculo en el campo de la ingeniería para tratar problemas a nivel de sección. Este método permite tratar problemas relacionados con el comportamiento no-lineal de los materiales, el empleo de materiales con diferentes propiedades en una misma sección, o problemas relacionados con gradiente de temperatura, entre otros. Dos aplicaciones serán tratadas en dos artículos independientes. En este documento el método multicapa se empleará para generar un diagrama de interacción axil-momento para secciones tipo doble “T”. La sección de acero se estudiará respecto al régimen elástico y plástico, y se propondrá un parámetro que aportará información sobre la reserva plástica de la sección, cuando actúan simultáneamente un axil y un momento flector, la denominada área plástica. Se ha empleado como entorno de programación el software Matlab para desarrollar el contenido de este artículo. AbstractMulti-layer method is a powerful tool to solve structural engineering problems from a section point of view. This method can solve problems related to non-linear material behavior, different materials at the same section, or aspects related to temperature gradient, among others. Two applications shall be explained in two separate technical papers. In this paper multilayer method shall be used to generate an axial-bending interaction diagram for “I” steel sections. The section shall be studied from elastic and plastic material properties and a parameter shall be proposed (plastic area) in order to obtain the plastic capacity of a section produced by axial forces and bending moment acting simultaneously. Matlab software had been employed to develop the content of this technical paper.

Published: March 2016

Este trabajo desarrolla un estudio sobre las intervenciones en los monumentos históricos. Se analizan dos casos en los que se intervinieron en las cubiertas de dos edificios religiosos, siguiendo distintos criterios de actuación. En el primer caso se procedió a una restauración de la estructura primitiva de la cubierta, manteniendo los componentes originales de la construcción, mientras que en el segundo caso se realizó una reconstrucción integral de la cubierta, dado el estado de deterioro generalizado de la misma. Se discuten los criterios seguidos para elegir los métodos de intervención más adecuados en cada caso. Como conclusión se defiende la posición de recopilar la información necesaria mediante la búsqueda bibliográfica, visitas y observaciones para conocer la evolución del monumento. Abstract This paper develops a study of interventions in historical monuments. We have analyzed two cases of Heritage preservation, the roofs of two religious buildings, following different restoration criteria. The first case consists of a restoration of the roof original structure, keeping the original components of the construction, whereas in the second case an integral roof reconstruction was carried out, given its widespread deterioration. We discuss the criteria used to choose the most appropriate intervention methods in each case. In conclusion we expose the need to gather historical information required by the literature search, views and observations to understand the evolution of the monument.
Caracterización mecánica experimental de un hormigón ligero estructural = Experimental mechanical characterisation of a structural lightweight aggregate concrete

Published: March 2016

El peso propio de la estructura es habitualmente del mismo orden o superior al de las cargas que tiene que soportar. Esto hace que las estructuras resultantes sean en muchos casos poco eficientes. La sustitución, parcial o total, en un hormigón del árido convencional por otros materiales más ligeros, consigue una reducción notable del peso del hormigón resultante. En este trabajo se analiza el comportamiento mecánico de un hormigón ligero estructural elaborado por Lafarge. Se han realizados ensayos tanto destructivos como no destructivos a distintas edades. Los resultados muestran la evolución de las características mecánicas a diferentes edades, así como su comparación con los valores estimados según distinta normativa. Abstract The self load of the structure is usually similar even bigger than any other load load which a structure carries. Due to this fact a number of structure are inefficient. The replacement in concrete of normal aggregate by lightweight aggregate reaches a markedly reduction of the concrete weight. The mechanical behavior of a lightweight aggregate concrete is analyzed in this paper. A number of tests have been done at different ages. These results have been compared with the predicted mechanical values of some regulation.
A Blind Perthshire Sergeant's Lament for his Colonel who Died at El Hamet in 1807
Authors: Gibson John 
Published: March 2016

Sergeant Alexander Forbes is a Scottish Gaelic bard who lived
in Perthshire in the early nineteenth century. Almost nothing is known about him apart from his military service. This marbh-rann for his lt-col,Patrick MacLeod of Geanies, doubles the bard's certainly known output. It had lain unread for decades in the holdings of the National Library of Scotland on
George 1V Bridge in Edinburgh. Perthshire Gaelic was vulnerable to forces for economic and cultural change earlier than most fringe parts of the Gaidhealtachd.

Pain and discomfort following insertion of miniscrews and premolar extractions: A randomized controlled trial
Authors: Ganzer Niels , Feldmann Ingalill , Bondemark Lars 
Published: March 2016

ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate and compare the experience of pain and discomfort between insertion of miniscrews and premolar extractions in adolescent patients.
Materials and Methods: A total of 80 adolescents were recruited and randomized into groups A and B. Both groups were treated with extraction of the upper first premolars and fixed appliance. Beyond the fixed appliance, patients in group A received anchorage reinforcement with miniscrews. Miniscrews were inserted buccally between the second premolar and first molar when space closure started. Space closure was performed as en masse retraction with immediate loading by 150-g coil springs. Pain, discomfort, impact on daily activities, and functional jaw impairment were assessed with patient-reported questionnaires. Questionnaires were filled in at baseline, the evening after tooth extraction, 1 week after tooth extraction, the evening after screw placement, and 1 week after screw placement.
Results: Patients reported significantly lower levels of pain (P &lt; .001) and discomfort (P = .012) after screw placement compared with premolar extractions. The ability to drink (P = .035) and the ability to take a big bite (P &lt; .001) were also significantly less disturbed in the evening after screw placement. During the first week after screw placement, the impact on leisure time activities was significantly lower (P = .015) compared with premolar extractions.
Conclusion: The use of miniscrews in adolescents can be recommended from a pain and discomfort perspective.
Miniaturized Multi-spurline Bandstop Filter Design with a Meandered Slot Lines
Authors: Shrestha Bhanu , Shrestha Surendra 
Published: March 2016

A multi-spurlines with meandered slot line bandstop flter is studied. A wideband width bandstop flter is designed and simulated on the basis of a Tef- lon substrate having thickness of 0.54 mm and a dielectric constant of 2.54. The wideband width is achieved even if the multi-coupling effects of multi-spurline are increased. The proposed bandstop flter has good S-parameter responses with good stopband characteristics. The insertion loss (S21) and return losses are 34.5 dB and 0.12 dB respectively. The wide band rejection depth increased by improving trans- mission zeros at 12 GHz. The wideband bandstop flter can be implemented to the X-band applications. The size of the designed bandstop flter is 5.8 mm × 3 mm. Journal of the Institute of Engineering, 2015, 11(1): 172-176

ABSTRACT
The Kepler mission has provided unprecedented, nearly continuous photometric data of ∼200,000 objects in the ∼105 deg2 field of view (FOV) from the beginning of science operations in May of 2009 until the loss of the second reaction wheel in May of 2013. The Kepler Eclipsing Binary Catalog contains information including but not limited to ephemerides, stellar parameters, and analytical approximation fits for every known eclipsing binary system in the Kepler FOV. Using target pixel level data collected from Kepler in conjunction with the Kepler Eclipsing Binary Catalog, we identify false positives among eclipsing binaries, i.e., targets that are not eclipsing binaries themselves, but are instead contaminated by eclipsing binary sources nearby on the sky and show eclipsing binary signatures in their light curves. We present methods for identifying these false positives and for extracting new light curves for the true source of the observed binary signal. For each source, we extract three separate light curves for each quarter of available data by optimizing the signal-to-noise ratio, the relative percent eclipse depth, and the flux eclipse depth. We present 289 new eclipsing binaries in the Kepler FOV that were not targets for observation, and these have been added to the catalog. An online version of this catalog with downloadable content and visualization tools is maintained at http://keplerEBs.villanova.edu.
WHERE ARE MOST OF THE GLOBULAR CLUSTERS IN TODAY’S UNIVERSE?
Authors: Harris William E. 
Published: March 2016

ABSTRACT
The total number of globular clusters (GCs) in a galaxy rises continuously with the galaxy luminosity L, while the relative number of galaxies decreases with L following the Schechter function. The product of these two very nonlinear functions gives the relative number of GCs contained by all galaxies at a given L. It is shown that GCs, in this universal sense, are most commonly found in galaxies within a narrow range around L
⋆. In addition, blue (metal-poor) GCs outnumber the red (metal-richer) ones globally by 4 to 1 when all galaxies are added, pointing to the conclusion that the earliest stages of galaxy formation were especially favorable to forming massive, dense star clusters.
