Des pères du désert aux premiers héros du Graal: solitude et apostolat
Authors: Szkilnik Michelle 
Published: September 2023

RESUMEN A través de una novela en prosa del siglo XIII, la Estoire del Saint Graal (escrita entre 1230 -1235), este artículo propone un acercamiento entre los padres del desierto y los primeros héroes del Grial. Se pone en evidencia la cercanía de algunos pasajes de la novela con un texto de carácter hagiográfico como la histoire des Moines d'Egypte, escrita por Wauchier de Denain antes de 1210. De esta forma se demuestra cómo una serie de motivos relacionados con los padres del desierto van a ser desplazados en las novelas del Grial para aplicarlos no a los ermitaños sino a los héroes ancestros de los caballeros artúricos. ABSTRACT Through a thirteenth-century novel in prose, the Estoire del Sanit Graal (written between 1230 and 1235), this article proposes an approach between the Desert Fathers and the first heroes of the Grail. It shows the closeness of certain passages of this novel to a hagiographic text as Histoire des Moines d'Egypte, written by Wauchier de Denain before 1210. In this way it is demonstrated how a number of motifs related to the Desert Fathers will be displaced in the novels of the Grail in order to apply those motifs in the hero-ancestors of Arthur's knights rather than in the hermits.

El impacto de la literatura artúrica en la construcción de identidades culturales y nacionales periféricas en la España contemporánea: Cataluña, Galicia y el País Vasco
Authors: Zarandona Juan Miguel 
Published: September 2023

RESUMEN

El presente artículo se esforzará por poner de relieve el curioso hecho de que en España, algunos escritores periféricos que adquirieron el compromiso de escribir en sus lenguas minoritarias, Catalán, Gallego y Vasco, se aprovecharon de la leyenda artúrica, la manipularon y consiguieron hacerla apoyar su exigente causa de construcción y reconstrucción de una cultura, lengua, nación e identidad. Galicia, la húmeda región del noroeste español que decidió, de manera colectiva, convertirse en una plena nación celta, representa el ejemplo más sorprendente de este fenómeno que consiguió aunar el añejo mito artúrico con los acontecimientos del presente contemporáneo.

ABSTRACT

This paper will devote much of its effort to the curious fact that in Spain, some peripheral writers who made a commitment to write in minority languages, Catalan, Basque and Galician, took advantage of the Arthurian legend, manipulated it, and made it support their demanding enterprise of culture-, language-, nation-, and identity-building. Galicia, the humid North-West Spanish region that made its collective mind up to turning into a full Celtic nation, represents the most surprising example of this phenomenon associating ancient Arthurian myth and current affairs.
“APOLOGÍA DE LOS INGENIOS NEOGRANADINOS” Y LA CONSTITUCIÓN DEL CANON DE LA LITERATURA COLOMBIANA: MANUEL DEL SOCORRO RODRÍGUEZ (1758-1819)
Authors: Sedeño Guillén Kevin 
Published: September 2023

Este artículo establece el carácter fundador de Manuel del Socorro Rodríguez en la constitución del canon de la literatura en Colombia. Se concluye que el ensayo “Satisfacción a un juicio poco exacto sobre la literatura y buen gusto, antiguo y actual, de los naturales de la ciudad de Santafé de Bogotá” (1792) constituye el primer antecedente de la historia de la literatura en Colombia y uno de los primeros proyectos sistemáticos de
configuración del canon de una literatura nacional en Hispanoamérica. La constitución de este canon en condiciones de colonialidad revela la ausencia de una comunidad plenamente nacional que lo legitime.
CRÓNICAS BOGOTANAS INSPIRADAS EN LA LITERATURA EXTRANJERA, 1925-1945. LOS CASOS DE DOS NEOFOLLETINISTAS: OSORIO LIZARAZO Y XIMÉNEZ
Authors: Vergara Aguirre Andrés 
Published: September 2023

Entre las décadas de 1920 y 1940 la prensa bogotana tuvo avances muy importantes, pues al tiempo que maduró su proceso de modernización, iniciado desde finales del siglo XIX, también se industrializó, al calor del crecimiento de la ciudad, que en aquellos años hizo su transición hacia la gran urbe. Asociado a esos cambios en la prensa estuvo un tipo de reportero que aquí se denomina neofolletinista, el cual contribuyó no solo con el desarrollo de los géneros periodísticos narrativos, sino que también cumplió una función importante en el proceso de conquista de un nuevo mercado por parte de las revistas y los periódicos, que encontraron en él una herramienta clave para el acercamiento a un nuevo público masivo. Dos de esos neofolletinistas fueron Osorio Lizarazo y Ximénez, quienes se inspiraron en obras literarias extranjeras para escribir sus relatos sobre la ciudad.
OPIO DE LAS FLORES DEL MAL: LA LITERATURA DECADENTISTA EN LA PRENSA BRASILEÑA A TRAVÉS DE LAS CRÓNICAS DE ALCINDO GUANABARA EN EL FIN-DE-SIÈCLE
Authors: Haizenreder Ertzogue Marina 
Published: September 2023

En la prensa brasileña, la literatura decadente estaba representada por Alcindo Guanabara. Escritor, periodista, médico y político, Alcindo inauguró la columna intitulada “Teias de Aranha” en los periódicos A Gazeta da Tarde y Novidades, ambos publicados en Río de Janeiro (1886-1888). En las crónicas, él transmite a los lectores el desinterés por la vida y el entusiasmo por la muerte. A través de la lectura de las ideas contenidas en las crónicas fue posible investigar la recepción de la literatura decadente en la prensa brasileña.
SOLEDAD ACOSTA DE SAMPER Y LUIS SEGUNDO DE SILVESTRE: RETÓRICA DE LA “LIMPIEZA DE SANGRE” Y PROCESOS DE SUBJETIVACIÓN EN EL CAMPO DE LA NOVELA COLOMBIANA DE LA SEGUNDA MITAD DEL SIGLO XIX
Authors: Marín Colorado Paula Andrea 
Published: September 2023

En este texto analizaré las tomas de posición de Soledad Acosta de Samper (Bogotá, 1833-1913) y Luis Segundo de Silvestre (Bogotá, 1838-1887) en sus respectivas novelas: Dolores (cuadros de la vida de una mujer) (1867) y Tránsito (1886). En ambas novelas, los autores elaboran una crítica al proyecto de modernización de la nación, tal como se presentaba en Colombia a mediados del siglo XIX. De acuerdo con lo anterior, intentaré demostrar que mientras la crítica de Acosta permite avizorar la emergencia de un ser (femenino, en este caso) en busca de su subjetivación, la de Silvestre configura personajes condicionados por factores externos (raza, género). A pesar de esta diferencia, en ambas novelas se legitima el discurso y el proyecto de nación de un individuo criollo (blanco, letrado y de noble cuna) sobre el de “gentes incivilizadas” (Silvestre) o el de civilizadas de manera corrupta (Acosta). De esta manera, el mestizaje como utopía nacionalista de la primera mitad del siglo XIX empieza a quedar atrás.

Analysis of binary Bitumen – Polymer mixtures
Authors: Ossa E. Alexander , Múnera Juan Camilo 
Published: September 2023

Bitumen is a black material composed of a mixture of various natural hydrocarbons. Bitumen has been commonly used in road paving and roofing applications thanks to its hydrophobic and adhesives properties. The production of Polymer Modified Bitumens (PMB) has allowed the development of materials with better performance in comparison to pure bitumen. This work presents the effect of addition of polymer to a Colombian bitumen from its morphological, rheological and thermal properties, in order to identify different modification levels. The polymers used as modifiers were polyethylene wax (CPE), styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) and crumb rubber (CR). They were added to bitumen in proportions between 3 to 15% w / w. Both neat bitumen and PMB were characterized by penetration and softening point. Thermal and rheological characteristics were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and rotational rheometry, respectively. Changes in the morphology were measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The experimental results showed that the CPE mixtures had the most pronounced effect on the conventional properties, achieving a 75% reduction in penetration and a 250% increase in the softening point compared to neat bitumen. The results obtained by DSC allowed identifying three glass transition temperatures (Tg) in neat bitumen. Mixtures with SBS altered Tg, showing changes on the thermal characteristics of neat bitumen. Mixtures with CPE and SBS showed the highest values of G*. The results obtained by AFM help identifying three different phases in neat bitumen and its variation with the addition of different polymer modifiers, showing considerable structural changes that led to changes in the material properties at the macroscopic level.

During the last years solid waste disposal has increasing significantly, causing health and environmental problems. In order to study an alternative to mitigate these problems, the re-use of polyethylene- terephthalate bottles as a replacement of conventional lightweight materials used on the leveling or filling of soils is investigated.For this purpose, a mechanical characterization of the PET most popular bottles on the market was carried out. Laboratory test results indicate that PET bottles exhibit compression resistances, which suggest that this material can be used on the construction of lightweight structures.
Vehicular traffic monitoring in V2I systems using a wireless sensor network
Authors: Rivero Ángeles Mario E. , Ramírez Reyna Mario A. , Villordo Jiménez Iclia 
Published: September 2023

In the near future the majority of the automotive systems will strongly rely on the exchange of information among vehicles or infrastructure to improve the driving conditions, increment security or simply have access to internet and entertainment services. This is the reason why the research and development of Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks is very important nowadays. In this paper, a design and analysis of a Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) assisted by an event driven Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) for traffic monitoring in a highway is presented. The aforementioned WSN is based on the well-known LEACH protocol. However, a key modification is proposed in order to increase the network lifetime for applications on VANETs. The basic idea is to minimize the overlapping areas among neighboring clusters in order to reduce redundancy and to have a better coverage of the supervised highway with a lower transmission cost. Additionally, two different methods for the event reporting are proposed. In the first one, the traffic information is transmitted exclusively among the WSN nodes, while the second method makes use of the vehicles in order to relay the information to the sink. The proposed methods are analyzed in terms of energy consumption and average report delay.

Two-electron energy levels in coupled nano-rings: the hydrostatic pressure and magnetic field effects
Authors: Rincón-Fulla Marlon , Marín-Cadavid Jairo Humberto , Suaza Yoder Alberto 
Published: September 2023

The energy spectrum of two electrons spatially separated in two vertically coupled quantum rings under hydrostatic pressure and magnetic field is calculated. In order to study the two-electron properties, the adiabatic approximation is used by considering quantum rings with square cross-sections. The changes of the energy level-ordering and the crossover among the curves as a function of radii and ring-ring separation as well as the hydrostatic pressure and magnetic field are discussed. The effects related to the geometry of the rings as well as the external fields on the crystal Wigner formation are analyzed. Additionally, it is checked that the present results are in good agreement with those previously obtained for the limit cases corresponding to zero ring-ring separation and rings of equal center line radius.
Freeway Speed Limits under Inclement Weather Conditions
Authors: Wang Yonggang , Li Ming , Feng Lei 
Published: September 2023

Over the past decade, over speeding has been identified to be the most dominant factor contributing to the occurrence of severe crashes and injuries on freeways, and thus speed limit performs the most popular countermeasure. However, few studies have focused on the problem of freeway speed limits in bad weather due to reduction of visibility and pavement friction. Therefore, the primary purpose of this research is to develop a prototype of speed limits recommendations for basic freeway segments under the inclement weather conditions. If the leading vehicle makes a sudden stop, the travelling distance of the following vehicle is divided into four phases. Assuming the visibility is no less than the safe following distance between consecutive vehicles, consequently, a parabolic equation is constructed to describe the relation between the vehicle’s maximum safe speed, pavement conditions, segment slope and visibility, and then maximum safe speed is rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 as the proposed speed limit under the fogy, rainy or snowy conditions.
On the implementation of adaptive multiresolution spectral WENO scheme for the multiclass Lighthill-Whitham-Richards traffic model
Authors: Vega-Fuentes Carlos Arturo , Bolaño-Benítez Edwin 
Published: September 2023

In this paper, the implementation of a spectral or characteristic-based fifth order WENO (Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory) scheme is described in detail along with an adaptive multiresolution technique for efficiently computing the numerical solution of a multi-class traffic flow model described mathematically by a nonlinear system of conservation laws. In [1] the authors considered the same problem but in a component-wise manner. More recently, [2] conducted numerical experiments by using characteristic-based schemes combined with AMR (Adaptive Mesh Refinement) strategy.

Published: September 2023

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects the coordination of muscles and limbs, including those responsible of the speech production. The lack of control of the limbs and muscles involved in the speech production process can generate intelligibility problems and this situation has a negative impact in the social interaction of the patients. It is already demonstrated that constant speech therapy can improve the communication abilities of the patients; however, the measurement of the recovery progress is done subjectively by speech therapists and neurologists. Due to this, it is required the development of flexible tools able to asses and guide the speech therapy of the patients. In this paper the design and deployment of a new device for the real time assessment of speech signals of people with PD is presented. The processes of design and deployment include the development on three platforms: first, a graphic user interface is developed on Matlab, second the first prototype is implemented on a digital signal processor (DSP) and third, the final device is developed on a mini-computer. The device is equipped with an audio codec, storage capacity and the processing unit. Besides, the system is complemented with a monitor to display the processed information on real time and with a keyboard enabling the interaction of the end-user with the device.
Different acoustics and nonlinear dynamics measures which have been used in the state of the art for the assessment of speech of people with PD are implemented on the three mentioned platforms. In accordance with the state of the art, the designed platforms show an increment in the variation of the fundamental period of speech (commonly called pitch) of people with PD. Additionally, the decrease of the vocal space area is validated for the case of patients with PD. These results indicate that the designed device is useful to perform the assessment and monitoring of the speech therapy of people with PD.

Published: September 2023

Objective
Our objective was to observe the benefits and limitations of WES (Whole Exome Sequencing) in the prenatal setting, in the Romanian population. The scope was to observe the diagnostic yield in comparison to molecular karyotyping testing, which had negative results, as well as a case of consanguinity.
Methods
The first criteria was selecting pregnancies with abnormal ultrasound findings. These findings would not lead the medical team to a certain known syndrome.
Second, we performed SNP-array, which tested negative in all cases, except for Case number 9 which had an abnormal result.
The ulterior testing method was WES, using Massive Parallel Sequencing of the whole coding region of the human genome on Next Generation Sequencing Platform, NovaSeq 6000 (average coverage &gt;100X, read length: 2x100bp). The Twist Human Core Exome kit RefSeq &amp; Mitochondrial panel (Twist Bioscience) was used for the library preparation. Bioinformatic analysis was performed by direct comparison of the genome of the test sample with the human reference sequence (hg38).
Results
Our small cohort of 10 patients, resulted in a 50% diagnostic yield. After receiving the results whether a diagnose or a negative result, 2 couples chose to terminate the pregnancy, 5 were born affirmatively without symptoms, and are still monitored up to date. One of the pregnancies led to a stillbirth.
We have also found 3 incidental findings that helped the multidisciplinary team better manage the patient as well as the members at risk.
Conclusion
In this article we present 10 cases which were tested through prenatal WES, showing the great diagnostic yield in comparison to SNP-array in our selected cases. As a closing remark, we wish to highlight the benefits of WES testing in prenatal cases. Further testing is needed to get a clearer picture of the prenatal diagnostic yield in the Romanian population.
Chicken Value Chain Analysis in The Gambia
Authors: Baldeh Falie , Jatta Raymond 
Published: September 2023

The development of the chicken value chain in The Gambia has immense potentials to lead to the modernisation of agriculture and creating employment for young people and women. Chicken can be raised throughout the year in most parts of The Gambia. With increasing populations, environmental degradation and loss of rangelands, chicken is easier to producer than other livestock, such as cattle and small ruminants.
The development of the chicken value chain in The Gambia is also mainly constrained at commercialisation. Commercial farmers in The Gambia are not able to compete with cheap import. Critical inputs such as day-old chicks and feed are imported. Most farms are operating below 40% capacity and only less than 4% utilisation of the available processing capacity. At full capacity and with some needed investments along the value chain, The Gambia has the capacity to meet the demand for chicken and eggs. 88% of the value chain actors believe that the imposition of tariffs on chicken imports will lead to the upward transformation of the chicken value chain being able to employ at least 10% of the Gambian population.
