ABSTRACT Pseudomonas aeruginosa secretes a wide range of hydrolytic enzymes into the external medium by the Xcp secretion machinery. To better understand the role played by envelope constituents in the functioning of this type II secretory system, we have studied the influence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the secretion of two extracellular enzymes, the elastase LasB and the lipase LipA. Strains with defective LPS decreased production of LasB and altered the secretion processes of both LasB and LipA without any apparent effect on the composition of the Xcp machinery. The PAO1algCstrain, defective in the outer core of LPS, was leaky, as shown by the extracellular release of the periplasmic β-lactamase. Generation of an xcpR mutation in this mutant led only to a partial accumulation of LasB within the cells, indicating that in strain PAO1algC with a functional xcpR gene, LasB was released in the extracellular medium partly by leakage and partly by secretion. The pool of LasB released into the medium by leakage was not recovered in an active form, while extracellular LasB was active when secreted via the secretory machinery. Further analysis revealed that the presence of a functional Xcp machinery is strictly required for the activation process of LasB. Our results provide evidence that the Xcp system is not fully functional when the LPS structure of P. aeruginosa is altered.

ABSTRACT Bacteria communicate with each other to regulate cell density-dependent gene expression via a quorum-sensing (QS) cascade. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, two known QS systems, las and rhl, control the expression of many factors that relate to virulence, pathogenicity, and biofilm development. Microarray studies of the las and rhl regulons led to our hypothesis that a complicated hierarchy in the QS regulon is composed of multiple transcriptional regulators. Here, we examined a QS-regulated gene, vqsR, which encodes a probable transcriptional regulator with a putative 20-bp operator sequence (las box) upstream. The transcriptional start site for vqsR was determined. The vqsR promoter was identified by examining a series of vqsR promoter-lacZ fusions. In addition, an Escherichia coli system where either LasR or RhlR protein was expressed from a plasmid indicated that the las system was the dominant regulator for vqsR. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) demonstrate that purified LasR protein binds directly to the vqsR promoter in the presence of 3O-C12-HSL. Point mutational analysis of the vqsR las box suggests that positions 3 and 18 in the las box are important for vqsR transcription, as assayed with a series of vqsRp-lacZ fusions. EMSA also shows that positions 3 and 18 are important for binding between the vqsR promoter and LasR. Our results demonstrate that the las system directly regulates vqsR, and certain nucleotides in the las box are crucial for LasR binding and activation of the vqsR promoter.

Arguments as to why St Louis diverted his 1270 crusade to Tunis from Jerusalem have been raging ever since the expedition returned to France. Although historians have recently agreed that the diversion was the decision of Louis himself, this consensus has not led to exploration of his reasons for crusading to a north African port city. This essay argues that the diversion to Tunis is best understood in terms of Louis's ideas about conversion in general and his policy towards the Jews of his land in particular. The close parallels between Louis's Jewish policy and the Tunisian strategy suggest that these conversion policies led Louis to Tunis.

Prior studies suggest memories are potentially error prone. Proactive dependent interviewing (PDI) is a possible method to reduce errors in reports of change in longitudinal studies, reminding respondents of previous answers while asking if there has been any change since the last survey. However, little research has been conducted on the impact of PDI question wording. This study examines the impact of PDI wording on change reports and how these wordings interact with other survey features such as mode, question content, and prior change. Experimental results indicate that asking about change in an unbalanced fashion leads to more reports of change initially than other wordings, but only in a face-to-face survey. Follow-up questions led to final change reports that were similar across all wordings, but this necessitates asking additional questions. Findings suggest that asking PDI using change as the initial option should be avoided.

The goal of this article is to preserve and distribute the information presented at the LASI (2014) workshop on Coh-Metrix, a theoretically grounded, computational linguistics facility that analyzes texts on multiple levels of language and discourse. The workshop focused on the utility of Coh-Metrix in discourse theory and educational practice. We discuss some of the motivating factors that led to the development of Coh-Metrix, situated within the context of multilevel theoretical frameworks of discourse comprehension and learning. A review of published studies will highlight the applications of Coh-Metrix, ranging from the scaling and selection of educational material to learning environments at scale. The examples illustrate the relationship between discourse and cognitive, affective, and social processes. We walk through the pedagogical guidelines that should be followed when analyzing texts using Coh-Metrix. Finally, we conclude the paper with a general discussion of the future directions for Coh-Metrix including methodological and practical implications for the learning analytics (LA) and educational data mining (EDM) community.

In 1597 King Philip II of Spain expelled the Jews from Milan at the end of a thirty-year power struggle between secular and religious Italian authorities and Spanish imperial powers. These conflicts reveal that the expulsion followed less from Philip II's personal feelings about the Jews than from his approach to governing and the necessity to preserve and increase his power in Italy. They also expose the fluctuating boundaries of imperial powers in distant territories resistant to accepting them, highlighting both the extent and the limits of Spanish rule in Italy. Examined in detail and in its larger historical context, the case of Milan elucidates the mechanisms of an expulsion, foregrounding the intricate political, financial, and religious issues that led up to the last Spanish expulsion in Europe.

This study reviews the evolution of scientific research on climatic droughts in Spain over the last few decades. The complexity of this natural hazard and the wide incidence of droughts in Spain have led to great interest from scientists in Spain, and generated a significant amount of scientific work on the topic over the last two decades. Climatic drought studies have evolved from predominantly descriptive studies up to the 1990s to highly diverse research topics, which include the development of indices, tools and datasets, the study of drought hazard probability, the analysis of drought variability and trends, including research on long term drought reconstructions and analysis with instrumental data, an assessment of drought mechanisms and drivers, and drought modeling, including how models represent droughts, and applying models to drought forecasting and future projections. The study of climatic droughts in Spain is highly internationalized, since most of the current scientific studies are published in high-impact international journals and, nowadays, do not only cover Spain, but also other world regions as well as continental and global studies.

The 2002 election was a close race. The Social Democrats turned outto be 6,027 votes ahead of the Christian Democrats. The red-greengovernment was returned to power only because of the so-calledoverhang mandates1 for the SPD (three in the new Länder, one inHamburg) and the good result of the Greens, especially in the oldLänder. To put it differently, 1.2 percent (577,567 votes) was the winninggap between the government and the opposition. Four seatsabove the majority is a rather narrow margin but does not inevitablyentail a weak government. The CDU/CSU-led government in 1994had a similar starting position, for example, and it endured in power.

For decades, effective cancer gene therapy has been a tantalising prospect; for a therapeutic modality potentially able to elicit highly effective and selective responses, definitive efficacy outcomes have often seemed out of reach. However, steady progress in vector development and accumulated experience from previous clinical studies has finally led the field to its first licensed therapy. Following a pivotal phase III trial, Imlygic (talimogene laherparepvec/T-Vec) received US approval as a treatment for cutaneous and subcutaneous melanoma in October 2015, followed several weeks later by its European authorisation. These represent the first approvals for an oncolytic virotherapy. Imlygic is an advanced-generation herpesvirus-based vector optimised for oncolytic and immunomodulatory activities. Many other oncolytic agents currently remain in development, providing hope that current success will be followed by other diverse vectors that may ultimately come to constitute a new class of clinical anti-cancer agents. In this review, we discuss some of the key oncolytic viral agents developed in the adenovirus and herpesvirus classes, and the prospects for further enhancing their efficacy by combining them with novel immunotherapeutic approaches.

Texto completoResumen
Luke 23.34a, ‘Father forgive them for they know not what they do’, has been a textual conundrum in text criticism. The weight for the external evidence points to the probability that this logion of Jesus from the cross was not in the earliest manuscript of Luke. What motivation then led to this saying being added to the text of Luke? In this article, the argument is made that a numerical motivation is at the heart of the addition. Luke 23.34a was added in order that there be seven sayings and not six that Jesus spoke from the cross. This issue arose as the four Gospels were collected together and read as one narrative of the life, ministry, and passion of Jesus.

Con el objetivo de adoptar los enfoques de enseñanza-aprendizaje necesarios para la inclusión de la perspectiva de género en contextos específicos de formación del profesorado, esta investigación analiza el discurso normativo-curricular y las representaciones sociales de los futuros y de las futuras docentes de Educación Primaria sobre la enseñanza de la Historia y, en particular, sobre las mujeres y la inclusión de perspectiva de género en la historia enseñada.
Desde los principios metodológicos de la investigación-acción, de la investigación evaluativa y de la teoría crítica para una educación en y para igualdad de género, la presente Tesis Doctoral pretende integrar, en un mismo objeto de estudio, investigación y práctica, con el propósito de reflexionar críticamente sobre nuestra propia práctica docente y de mejorarla.
Asumiendo el género como categoría de análisis imprescindible en la historia escolar, se aplican recursos propios de literacidad crítica en la reconfiguración de la programación docente para la formación del profesorado, y en el diseño de las propuestas didácticas de los y las estudiantes de Magisterio, a partir del tratamiento de problemas sociales o cuestiones socialmente vivas.
Los resultados obtenidos informan de la generalizada aceptación del empleo de recursos de literacidad crítica en el desarrollo profesional del maestro y de la maestra, en la promoción de futuras prácticas reflexivas, en la formación de un profesorado crítico y, principalmente, en la inclusión de la perspectiva de género en la enseñanza de las Ciencias Sociales.
El diseño de programas de formación del profesorado, dirigidos a educar en y para la igualdad, habría de considerar prioritario el análisis y valoración de las relaciones entre investigación e innovación didáctica, con la finalidad de producir impactos claros en la práctica. Trabajar con las representaciones de los y las estudiantes, e indagar y profundizar en sus orígenes, permite al profesor y profesora de Didáctica de la Historia y de las Ciencias Sociales promover el cambio, repensar sus programas y argumentar, de forma fundamentada, la toma de decisiones sobre las estrategias de formación aplicadas. En este sentido, el empleo de los principios metodológicos de la investigación-acción favorece el conocimiento de la racionalidad que articula la propia práctica docente, y la valoración de los cambios y de las continuidades producidas en el pensamiento de los y las futuras docentes.With the objective of adopting the teaching-learning approaches necessary for the inclusion of the gender perspective in specific contexts of teacher training, this research analyzes the normative-curricular discourse and the social representations of future and future teachers of Education Primary on the teaching of history and, in particular, on women and the inclusion of a gender perspective in the school history. From the methodological principles of action research, evaluative research and critical theory for an education in and for gender equality, this Doctoral Thesis aims to integrate, in the same object of study, research and practice, with the purpose of reflecting critically on our own teaching practice and improving it. Assuming gender as a category of essential analysis in the school history, critical literacy resources are applied in the reconfiguration of our own teaching program for teacher training, and in the design of alternative proposals made by students teachers, from the treatment of social problems or controversial issues. The results obtained report the widespread acceptance of the use of resources of critical literacy in the professional development of the teacher, in the promotion of future reflective practices, in the formation of a critical teacher and, above all, in the inclusion of the perspective of gender in the social studies. The design of teacher training programs, aimed at educating in and for equality, should prioritize the analysis and evaluation of the relationships between research and didactic innovation, in order to produce clear impacts in practice. Working with students' representations, and investigating and deepening their origins, allows the teacher of Didactics of History and Social Estudies to promote change, rethink the programs and argue, in an informed way, the decisions about the strategies applied. In this sense, the use of the methodological principles of action-research favors the knowledge of the rationality that articulates the teaching practice itself, and the valuation of the changes and the continuities produced in the thinking of the future teachers.

Aquesta tesi doctoral explora el fenomen de la manca de crítica i creativitat en la interpretació dels textos i la proposta d’accions socials a l'educació primària. La investigació qualitativa es fonamenta en el marc teòric dels Nous Estudis de Literacitat, per entendre com la literacitat crítica podria ajudar els professors i els estudiants en la interpretació i presa d'accions de justícia social. L'anàlisi desenvolupa una aproximació crítica als usos de la literacitat o alfabetització a l'aula de sisè a cinc escoles de primària a Barcelona, Rubí i Terrassa.
El procés educatiu d'aprenentatge dels coneixements socials i "llegir el món" s'explora des dels interessos dels estudiants pel que fa a la seva participació en les pràctiques de literacitat en el context social de l'aula. L'anàlisi de les dades revela que la literacitat crítica és essencial per tal de crear significats i interpretacions del món. S'entén no com un mètode, sinó com una forma de ser. D'una banda, es requereix i celebra el paper central del mestre en la construcció de l'experiència d'aprenentatge. D'altra banda, es faculta els nens que l'agència per resoldre els problemes socials.
Aquesta investigació crítica i interpretativa tracta de la literacitat crítica en els estudis socials a l’aula de primària. Els objectius són identificar i analitzar la naturalesa d'aquest tipus d'alfabetització en el sisè grau. Es basa en el marc dels Nous Estudis de Literacitat i en la pedagogia crítica a través de les nocions de transformació d'un mateix i de la millora de les estructures socials injustes.This PhD dissertation explores the phenomenon of the lack of criticism and creativity in interpreting texts and taking social actions in elementary education. This qualitative research takes New Literacy Studies’ framework in order to understand how using critical literacy could help teachers and students in taking social justice actions. The analysis develops a critical approach to the uses of literacy in the sixth-grade classroom in five elementary schools in Barcelona, Rubí and Terrassa. The educative process of learning social knowledge and “reading the world” is explored from the students’ interests regarding their participation in literacy practices in the social context of the classroom. The data analysis reveals that critical literacy is essential in order to create meanings and understandings of the world. It is understood not as a method, but as a way of being. On one hand, it requires and celebrates the central role of the teacher in the construction of learning experience. On the other hand, it empowers children to have the agency to solve social problems. This interpretative and critical research is about critical literacy in the social studies elementary classroom. The aims are to identify and analyze the nature of this kind of literacy in sixth grade. It is based on the New Literacy Studies’ framework and on critical pedagogy by means of the notions of transformation of oneself and the improvement of unfair social structures.

La cobertura (hedging) és una estratègia de política exterior completa que combina comportaments de competència i cooperació. Tot i que la introducció del terme hedging a la disciplina de les relacions internacionals és recent, algunes de les aproximacions a aquesta estratègia han esdevingut rellevants per a explicar els canvis en la política exterior dels estats. A partir d'aquestes contribucions prèvies, la nostra recerca perfecciona el marc teòric i analític de l'estratègia de cobertura. A la tesi demostrem que la cobertura és una estratègia racional en casos d'incertesa sistèmica. Amb aquesta condició sistèmica, els estats reben incentius per a comportar-se de manera incoherent entre la competència i la cooperació, per la qual cosa apliquen una estratègia de cobertura. Aquesta incoherència sorgeix de la interacció entre els interessos estatals a curt i llarg termini i de com els responsables polítics perceben la incertesa. A més també demostrem que el nostre model analític és empíricament útil per a destacar les característiques de la política exterior d'un estat i per a ressaltar els seus canvis al llarg del temps.La cobertura (hedging) es una estrategia de política exterior completa que combina comportamientos de competencia y cooperación.

Hedging is a comprehensive foreign policy strategy that combines competition and cooperation behaviours. Though hedging is a rather new term in the study of international relations, some academic approaches to this strategy have yielded relevant results for explaining changes in states' foreign policy. Our research takes these earlier contributions as a starting point to improve upon hedging strategy's theoretical and analytical framework. We demonstrate that hedging is a rational strategy in cases of systemic uncertainty. Under such systemic conditions, states receive incentives to behave incoherently in terms of competition and cooperation, leading to the resulting hedging strategy. This incoherence is a result of the interaction between short- and long+D2-term state interests and how policymakers perceive uncertainty. In addition, we also prove that our analytical model is empirically useful in highlighting the features of a state's foreign policy as well as the changes it undergoes over time.

Texto completoResumen
La trata de seres humanos con fines de explotación sexual constituye una grave vulneración de los derechos humanos, es un delito y una forma extrema de violencia de género (ONU, 1993). Su superación es una prioridad para organismos internacionales como Naciones Unidas, quien, entre los objetivos para el desarrollo sostenible, incluye la prevención y erradicación de la trata con fines de explotación sexual como objetivo para alcanzar la igualdad de género. Asimismo, los principales programas de investigación como Horizon2020, incluyen esta problemática de investigación entre sus retos. Estimaciones recientes calculan que 3.8 millones de personas adultas y 1 millón de menores en el mundo son víctimas de explotación sexual (ILO, 2017). Las mujeres representan la mayoría de las víctimas. En Europa, el 45% de los casos registrados fueron jóvenes entre 18 y 24 años, existiendo una preocupante prevalencia de menores de edad, quienes representan el 14% de víctimas (EUROSTAT, 2015).
En los últimos años se ha producido un aumento de investigaciones sobre trata de seres humanos con fines de explotación sexual, así como una mayor concienciación social sobre la problemática. La mayoría de investigaciones previas se han centrado en estudiar los factores de riesgo sistémicos e individuales para la trata, destacando la incidencia de la pobreza, los desplazamientos forzosos, la falta de oportunidades educativas y laborales, las políticas migratorias, pertenecer a minorías étnicas, estar en situación de drogodependencia o exclusión social, sufrir violencia intrafamiliar o abusos emocionales y sexuales en la infancia, entre otros (Aberdein, & Zimmerman, 2015; Bedford, 2004; Crawford et al., 2008; Deb et al., 2011; Hughes, Chon, & Ellerman, 2007; Hwang &; Miller et. al, 2007; Pierce, 2009; Reid, 2016; Roe-Sepowitz, 2012; Simkhada, 2008; Syla, 2013). Investigaciones recientes como el proyecto I+D END-TRAFFICKING (Puigvert, 2015-2017) han evidenciado la importancia de las relaciones e interacciones sociales en la trata de mujeres con fines de explotación sexual, entre las que cabe destacar las relaciones afectivo-sexuales. De manera secundaria, otras investigaciones han apuntado a la incidencia de las relaciones de pareja en la trata con fines de explotación sexual. Estos estudios han señalado que los métodos de captación mediante relaciones afectivo-sexuales fraudulentas son instrumentales, están basados en el engaño, en el abuso emocional, verbal y físico con el propósito de manipular, controlar y explotar sexualmente a las víctimas (Kennedy et al., 2007; Nichols & Heil, 2015; Raphael et al., 2010; Ralph, 2009). Estas estrategias de captación para la trata responden a dinámicas abusivas similares a la experimentadas en relaciones de violencia de género (Macy et al., 2013); en este sentido, la violencia doméstica ha sido sugerida como un factor de riesgo para la trata con fines de explotación sexual (Polaris Project, 2010). No obstante, son escasos los estudios empíricos que profundizan sobre el supuesto de fraude amoroso y la incidencia de las relaciones afectivo-sexuales violentas en la explotación sexual.
La tesis doctoral responde a este vacío en la literatura científica aportando conocimiento científico sobre la influencia de las relaciones afectivo-sexuales en la trata de mujeres jóvenes con fines de explotación sexual. Consiste en una investigación teórica y empírica de tipo cualitativo en la que se ha empleado la Metodología Comunicativa (Gómez, Puigvert, Sánchez & Flecha, 2011). Se enmarca en los proyectos de investigación españoles TRATA (Puigvert 2013-2015) y el proyecto I+D END-TRAFFICKING (Puigvert, 2015-2017). La investigación parte de las aportaciones teóricas realizadas por los estudios de género y feministas, particularmente de las contribuciones históricas del movimiento abolicionista y sufragista, así como los primeros estudios que empezaron a conceptualizar la problemática de la trata de seres humanos, convirtiendo ésta en una prioridad para las agendas mundiales de los países democráticos. Igualmente, la tesis recoge las aportaciones del Feminismo Dialógico (Beck-Gernsheim, Butler, & Puigvert, 2003) para la investigación sobre trata de mujeres con fines de explotación sexual por su impacto en la inclusión de las voces de las mujeres más vulnerables. En el trabajo de campo desarrollado en España y en EE. UU., se han empleado tres técnicas de investigación cualitativas de orientación comunicativa: entrevistas en profundidad a profesionales de diferentes ámbitos de intervención y atención a víctimas de trata, grupo de Discusión comunicativo con profesionales y Relatos Comunicativos a víctimas de trata, incorporando así las voces de las víctimas de trata que han sufrido violencia en sus relaciones afectivo-sexuales, un colectivo extremadamente vulnerable e invisibilizado.
Los resultados muestran la influencia de las relaciones afectivo-sexuales violentas en las diferentes fases de la trata de mujeres con fines de explotación sexual, desde las trayectorias de vida previa de las víctimas, hasta el momento de captación, la explotación y la posterior salida de la trata. Entre los resultados cabe destacar la falta de apoyo social que sufren las víctimas ante una violencia que no cesa, frente a situaciones de victimización y vulnerabilidad que padecen frecuentemente desde la infancia. Asimismo, la tesis muestra la presencia en la sociedad de un discurso que proyecta una imagen glamurosa de la prostitución y que ensalza la figura de proxenetas y tratantes, dificultando su rechazo social. El estudio desvela el fraude amoroso como estrategia de captación de mujeres jóvenes, visibilizando la manipulación y la coacción a la que éstas se ven sometidas por parte de proxenetas que las engañan para iniciar relaciones afectivo-sexuales como pretexto para la trata. Igualmente, los resultados recogen la incidencia de la violencia de género, el acoso sexual, la coacción y las relaciones afectivo-sexuales impuestas para quebrantar la voluntad y sueños de las víctimas. Por último, la tesis identifica las principales barreras y dificultades para salir de la trata en el caso de víctimas captadas a través de relaciones afectivo-sexuales fraudulentas y violentas. Como elementos transformadores, el estudio evidencia el deseo que tienen las supervivientes para salir y disfrutar de una vida en libertad y de relaciones afectivo-sexuales libres de violencia, demostrando la importancia que tienen las interacciones sociales solidarias que hacen realidad estos sueños de libertad.

"Una Nueva Plantilla de Preguntas para la Comprensión de Textos Auténticos en un Aula Sueca de ELE. : Un aporte didáctico para el desarrollo de las estrategias de lectura de textos auténticos para alumnos de 14 a 16 años de edad". Thesis, Karlstads universitet, Avdelningen för språk, 2010. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kau:diva-7232.
Texto completoResumen
Esta investigación se centra en las estrategias de lectura de textos auténticos. Nuestra idea es que los estudiantes de ELE en un aula sueca puedan aprenderse a reflexionar sobre sus estrategias de lectura simplemente con una herramienta concreta, e.g. una plantilla de preguntas. El primer paso es construir un material didáctico para desarrollar las estrategias de comprensión de lectura. Hemos construido una plantilla de preguntas con base en el experimento de Ulla Håkansson en el proyecto de STRIMS, pero hemos aumentado el número de instrucciones y las hemos modificado con especificaciones y ejemplos para adecuarlas a los alumnos de ELE en la educación secundaria en Suecia, de 14 a 16 años de edad, quienes son los informantes de nuestra investigación. El segundo paso es analizar su funcionamiento. Los informantes reciben un artículo y con la ayuda de la plantilla de preguntas van a interpretar el texto. El objetivo de la plantilla es que el alumno con esta herramienta pueda entender un texto sin valerse de diccionarios, no necesariamente de forma profunda, sino que pueda captar las ideas generales. Después preguntamos a los alumnos y a su profesora por sus opiniones sobre la plantilla de preguntas. La evaluación es conducida en forma de entrevista. Los análisis del texto de los alumnos nos han mostrado que han captado bien las ideas generales del artículo y la mayoría ha elegido las mismas palabras claves para resumir el texto y también para descodificar. Estos resultados nos indican que nuestra plantilla funciona bien. A los alumnos les gustó trabajar con las estrategias cognitivas y metacognitivas y dieron la bienvenida a la oportunidad de estudiar textos fuera del libro escolar. Una conclusión importante es que hay una necesidad de discutir más la morfología con todos los afijos en los aulas de ELE. Además podemos concluir que muchos alumnos van a seguir teniendo dificultades con el fenómeno abstracto de la gramática.Examensarbete, lärarprogrammet.

Rosa Sensat i, dins d’ell, el Grup de ciències socials de segona etapa d’Educació General Bàsica (EGB,
de 11/12 a 13/14 anys).
Aquest Grup va elaborar i va portar a la pràctica dues propostes curriculars de Ciències socials
alternatives al programa prescrit per la Llei General d’Educació (LGE) franquista que va estar vigent fins a
la seva substitució per la Llei Orgànica General del Sistema Educatiu (LOGSE). El Grup de ciències
socials de segona etapa d’EGB de l’Associació de Mestres Rosa Sensat no tant sols es va limitar a
canviar la seva pràctica sinó que, a més, va difondre les seves idees i les seves propostes a través de
les Escoles d’Estiu de Catalunya, de cursos d’hivern, de la creació de materials alternatius, de la premsa
(Avui i Tele/Expres) i les revistes d’educació (Perspectiva Escolar, Cuadernos de pedagogía, Guix, Quima.
Revista de Educación de Cantabria) i de tota mena d’intervencions.
Aquesta tesi doctoral és una recerca històrica perquè reconstrueix la creació, l’evolució i la dissolució del
Grup a travès de la recopilació, la classificació, la sistematització, l’anàlisi i la interpretació de 507 fonts i a
travès del record d’alguns dels protagonistes d’aquesta experiència renovadora. S’han entrevistat a:
membres del Grup, mestres que van experimentar la proposta, les autores dels llibres de text d’Onda,
estudiants de magisteri, una estudiant d’EGB i una referent del Grup.
I, alhora, és una recerca curricular perquè es descriuen, s’analitzen i s’interpreten les seves principals
aportacions: el programa presentat a l’Escola d’Estiu de l’Escola de Mestres Rosa Sensat de 1975 i el
programa presentat a l’Escola d’Estiu de l’Escola de Mestres Rosa Sensat de 1980, publicat a Edicions
62/Rosa Sensat l’any 1981. Així com també altres materials que va dissenyar el Grup per complementar

Aquesta tesi doctoral posa a disposició del professorat en formació i en actiu una valuosa informació
sobre les possibilitats de prendre decisions a la pràctica i d’actuar com a pràctics reflexius prenent
decisions ajustades al seu context social i a les necessitats formatives de la ciutadania.This PhD. dissertation aims to shade light on the reasons that bring social studies teachers to change their teaching practices. In general terms, we inquire the reasons that make teachers generate teaching innovations. We draw data from the history of the most renown pedagogic innovative group in Spain during the Spanish dictatorship: The social studies teachers’ group from the teacher’s social movement called “Rosa Sensat”. This group, conformed by teachers of the second stage of basic education, created two innovative curricular proposals for teaching social studies, that supposed alternatives to the curriculum prescribed by the Spanish Education Law (LGE) by that time. This proposal not only changed the teaching practices but also helped to spread their perspective of education in many places. Among them, the Summer Schools courses and the Winter Courses in Catalonia. They also created many alternative teaching materials and alternative communication channels such as newspapers (Avui tele/Expres) and magazines (Perspectiva Escolar, Cuadernos de pedagogía, Guix, Quima, Revista de Educación de Cantabria). This thesis dissertation is a history research study because tries to reconstruct the history of the teachers’ group described above. We study its creation, its evolution and its dissolution thanks to the compilation, classification, systematization, analysis and interpretation of 507 sources of information, and oral narratives of some people who were relevant to that innovative experience. These people were group members and people relevant for the group, teachers that experimented the proposal and wrote “Onda” textbooks, training teachers, or students. At the same time, it’s a curricular research because it describes, analyses and interprets the main teaching contributions of the teachers’ group: the education programs presented in Rosa Sensat’s Teachers’ Summer School in 1975 and in 1980. It also analyses other teaching materials designed by the teachers’ group, such as the Civic Education Program in school (1981); the “Autonomia i institucions autonòmiques a la Història de Catalunya” (1977); the Dades bàsiques de les comarques de Catalunya (1980); the research work “L’ensenyament de la Història a l’escola: Societat i territori al Vallès Occidental” (1982); the graphic report “Espanya 1931-1945, material didàctic l’estudi sobre la societat” (1976); the “Catalunya i la resta d’Espanya als segles XIX i XX” (1980); and the report “les comunitats Europees. Quadern de treball per a EGB, FP i BUP” (1982). This PhD. dissertation offers to teachers and trainee teachers a valuable information about the possibilities of taking decisions in their teaching practices, and encourgae that to act as reflexive teachers taking decisions that fit in their social environment and answer their citizenship needs.

This study explores how youth have inspired social change in Canada from 1978 to 2012. The objectives of the research include defining youth-led engagement in Canada, understanding its role as a change agent, and mapping the relationships between strategies and impacts. The goals of this study are to help current and future youth maximize opportunities that are likely to result in the greatest success, as well as increase opportunities for youth to be involved in decision making processes by validating their contributions.
The research includes youth who effect change in a variety of contexts from across Canada. Data collection consists of an online media search and supplementary document reviews. A media content analysis methodology is applied to extract the data, while frequencies and cross tabulations in the form of chi-square tests were used to analyze them. The results show a strong relationship between strategies youth use and the impacts that follow. Further, the data show that youth have made some of their most frequent contributions by participating in political processes to address issues of equality, empowerment and social justice. Patterns between youth efforts and long-term changes in society are discussed, and the measurement of impacts is considered.
This research measures three types of impacts youth have had on social change: individual, community/interorganizational, and systemic. It highlights the importance of institutionalizing the inclusion of youth as part of decision making processes in Canada, and validates the argument that youth have important contributions to make to our diverse society.

Texto completoResumen
Depuis la fin du XIXe siècle, des dynamiques sociales diverses – holocauste du caoutchouc, colonie pénale, missions catholiques, présence d’institutions gouvernementales et non gouvernementales — ont reconfiguré les formes d’organisation sociale des habitants du moyen fleuve Caquetá, dénommés Gens de centre. Nous nous arrêterons en particulier sur l’effet de ces changements sur leurs formes d’autonomie. Avec la reconnaissance par l’État, au cours des années 1980 et 1990, des peuples indigènes en tant que minorités ethniques, surgit une dichotomie entre ce qui est « traditionnel » autochtone, par opposition à ce qui est « moderne », étant donné les processus d’acculturation et inclusion de ces groupes dans la société majoritaire.
Dans le présent travail, on établit une comparaison des figures « d’autorité traditionnelle » et de « leader », une différenciation faite dans la région du moyen fleuve Caquetá. Dans un premier temps, on donne un aperçu théorique de la figure de chef dans les terres basses de l’Amérique du Sud et sa validité et pertinence dans la situation du moyen fleuve Caquetá. Puis, l’on présente comment se forme l’autorité traditionnelle et ses champs d’action. On montre, de la même façon, les différents processus qui ont donné lieu à l’apparition de la figure de leader et les espaces où celle-ci évolue. La relation entre les deux figures est à la fois contradictoire et complémentaire.
Finalement, on expose, avec des exemples concrets, les rapports entre les Gens de centre et les institutions gouvernementales et la remise en question de l’autonomie accordée aux groupes minoritaires dans la Constitution politique de la Colombie de 1991.The inhabitants of the Middle Caquetá river, called People of the Center, have experienced a series of varying impacts since the late nineteenth century –rubber holocaust, Penal Colony, catholic missions, presence of governmental and non-governmental institutions. These reshaped their forms of social organization. In this particular case, their forms of “self-government”. With the recognition of the indigenous people as ethnic minorities in the 1980s and 1990s, a dichotomy arose between what is “traditional” in relation to the indigenous as opposed to the “modern”, given the processes of acculturation and inclusion of these groups into mainstream society. In this sense, this work compares the figures of “traditional authority” and “leader”, as differentiated in the context of the inhabitants of the Middle Caquetá River. The first part is a theoretical revision of the figure of the chief in the lowlands of South America and its validity and relevance in the context of the Middle Caquetá River. Next, the context of formation of a traditional authority and its contexts of action are presented. Likewise, the different processes leading to the emergence of the figure of leader and the spaces in which it operates are shown. The relationship between these two figures is at once contradictory and complementary. Finally, some contexts that illustrate the relationship between the People of the Center and governmental institutions are considered. This leads to a questioning of the autonomy of minority groups recognized in the Colombian Political Constitution of 1991.
Los pobladores del medio río Caquetá, denominados Gente de Centro, vivieron desde finales del siglo XIX diferentes dinámicas –holocausto cauchero, Colonia Penal, misiones católicas, presencia de instituciones gubernamentales y no gubernamentales- que reconfiguraron sus formas de organización social; para este caso particular, sus formas de “gobierno propio”. Con el reconocimiento de los pueblos indígenas como minorías étnicas entre las décadas de 1980 y 1990 por parte del Estado colombiano, se plantea una dicotomía entre lo que es “tradicional” en relación a lo indígena, por oposición a lo “moderno”, dados los procesos de aculturación e inclusión de estos grupos a la sociedad mayoritaria. En este sentido el presente trabajo muestra de manera comparativa las figuras de “autoridad tradicional” y “líder”, diferenciación que se hace en la región del medio río Caquetá. En un primer momento se hace una revisión teórica de la figura del jefe en las tierras bajas de Suramérica y su vigencia y pertinencia en el contexto del medio río Caquetá. Acto seguido, se presenta el contexto de formación de una autoridad tradicional y sus contextos de acción. De la misma manera, se muestran los diferentes procesos que llevaron a la aparición de la figura de líder y los espacios donde se desenvuelve. La relación entre estas dos figuras es a la vez contradictoria y complementaria. Finalmente, se exponen algunos contextos donde se muestra la relación entre la Gente de Centro y las instituciones gubernamentales, contextos donde se pone en cuestión la autonomía reconocida para los grupos minoritarios, en la Constitución Política Colombiana de 1991.

Texto completoResumen
The Museum of Natural History of the University of Florence, founded in 1775 by Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo d'Asburgo Lorena, is one of the oldest and most prestigious scientific museums in the world. The fourth volume on the Collections of the Mineralogy and Lithology Section, published like the previous volumes by the Firenze University Press, fits perfectly in the series dedicated to the collections of the University's Museum System. The first part of the book describes in great detail the paths that led to the formation of the collections, starting with those dating to the Medici period and arriving at the specimens collected during recent expeditions. The second part illustrates and documents the extraordinary specimens of minerals, hardstone carvings and meteorites which represent the material patrimony of this section. Particular attention is given to the holotypes, the Elban Collection and the minerals of pegmatites, as well as the methods and solutions adopted to realize the project of the new museum exhibition set-up. The third and last part describes the studies carried out on the materials: from the minerals of the systematic collections to the rock specimens that recount not only the geodiversity of a region but also the history of a city.

Texto completoResumen
Bonobos and chimpanzees are closely related, yet they exhibit important differences in their wild socio-ecology. Whereas bonobos live in environments with less seasonal variation and more access to fallback foods, chimpanzees face more competition over spatially distributed, variable resources. This chapter argues that bonobo and chimpanzee cognition show psychological signatures of their divergent wild ecology. Current evidence shows that despite strong commonalities in many cognitive domains, apes express targeted differences in specific cognitive skills critical for wild foraging behaviours. In particular, bonobos exhibit less accurate spatial memory, reduced levels of patience and greater risk aversion than do chimpanzees. These results have implications for understanding the evolution of human cognition, as studies of apes are a critical tool for modelling the last common ancestor of humans with nonhuman apes. Linking comparative cognition to species’ natural foraging behaviour can begin to address the ultimate reason for why differences in cognition emerge across species. Les bonobos et les chimpanzés sont prochement liés, pourtant ils montrent d’importantes différences dans leur sociologie naturelle. Alors que les bonobos vivent dans des environnements avec peu de diversité de climat entre saisons et plus d’accès à des ressources de nourriture alternatives, les chimpanzés ménagent une compétition étalée spatialement et des ressources plus variées. Je soutiens que la cognition des chimpanzés et bonobos montre les signatures psychologiques de leur écologie naturelle divergente. Les témoignages courants montrent que, malgré les forts points communs dans en cognition, les grands singes expriment des différences au niveau de compétences cognitives importantes au butinage. En particulier, les bonobos démontrent une mémoire spatial moin précise, moin de patience, et plus d’aversion de risques que les chimpanzés. Ces résultats fournissent des signes dans l’étude de l’évolution de la cognition humaine. Les études des grands singe sont un outil d’importance majeure dans la modélisation du dernier ancêtre commun des humains et grands singes non-humains. Faire des liens cognitives comparatives entre le butinage des différentes espèces peut commencer à dévoiler les raisons pour les différences de cognition entre espèces.

Starting with a review of vector fields and their integral curves, the book presents the basic equations of the subject: Euler and Navier–Stokes. Some solutions are studied next: ideal flows using conformal transformations, viscous flows such as Couette and Stokes flow around a sphere, shocks in the Burgers equation. Prandtl’s boundary layer theory and the Blasius solution are presented. Rayleigh–Taylor instability is studied in analogy with the inverted pendulum, with a digression on Kapitza’s stabilization. The possibility of transients in a linearly stable system with a non-normal operator is studied using an example by Trefethen et al. The integrable models (KdV, Hasimoto’s vortex soliton) and their hamiltonian formalism are studied. Delving into deeper mathematics, geodesics on Lie groups are studied: first using the Lie algebra and then using Milnor’s approach to the curvature of the Lie group. Arnold’s deep idea that Euler’s equations are the geodesic equations on the diffeomorphism group is then explained and its curvature calculated. The next three chapters are an introduction to numerical methods: spectral methods based on Chebychev functions for ODEs, their application by Orszag to solve the Orr–Sommerfeld equation, finite difference methods for elementary PDEs, the Magnus formula and its application to geometric integrators for ODEs. Two appendices give an introduction to dynamical systems: Arnold’s cat map, homoclinic points, Smale’s horse shoe, Hausdorff dimension of the invariant set, Aref ’s example of chaotic advection. The last appendix introduces renormalization: Ising model on a Cayley tree and Feigenbaum’s theory of period doubling.

This article bridges the colonial and the national period in a discussion of the independence movements. This topic, part of foundational narratives in the region, once represented the core of Latin American history. The shift to structural and socioeconomic analysis after the 1960s led to a period neglect of a topic that came to be considered too Whiggish and celebratory or, at best, not particularly consequential. But a renewed interest in political history and, more recently, the expectation of several bicentenaries in 2010, have brought a new crop of studies of the emancipation process. By following historians' changing attitudes on the theme, the article also tells us much about the intellectual climate in Latin America during the last half century.

Texto completoResumen
A range of epidemiological studies have clearly established that susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is determined by both genetic and environmental factors. Studies over the last five decades have used a variety of approaches to identify the genetic variants associated with disease. HLA DRB1 was the first RA susceptibility locus to be discovered and has the largest effect size. We describe current understanding of the complexities of HLA association for RA. Linkage and small-scale association studies prior to 2007 provided convincing evidence for only one more RA susceptibility locus, PTPN22. Major breakthroughs in high-throughput genotyping and systematic discovery and mapping of hundreds of thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) led to large-scale genome-wide association studies used for the first time for RA in 2007. This approach has had a dramatic impact on our knowledge of the susceptibility loci for RA, such that over 60 risk variants have now been robustly identified. We present an overview of these studies and the loci that have been identified. We consider how this knowledge is contributing to a greater understanding of the aetiology and pathology of the disease and in turn how this can influence management of patients presenting with an inflammatory arthritis. We consider some of the unanswered questions and the approaches that will need to be taken to address them.

In 19th century birth of the term scientist led to beginning of Sciences professionalization and end of Nature eclectic scholar, of which Humboldt was the last exponent. Humboldt managed to connect all disciplines in a holistic vision of the world: organic and inorganic nature form a single system of active forces; all the organisms of Earth are linked as a family sharing same home. Today, given the anthropogenic damage caused to Nature, it needs to reconsider his unified vision, establishing connections between scholars of various disciplines, for an organic and global vision of Environment.

Abstract Since the European refugee crisis 2015, the rather bureaucratic asylum and migration policy has become a highly politicised issue in ECE countries. The politicisation process started while political parties were involved with the policy. However, many studies have ignored the practice of executives’ and administrations’ action in this domain and knowledge of whether this public anti-EU rhetoric really resulted in non-compliance, therefore, remains limited. This chapter interlinks politicisation and non-compliance research in a comparative case study of Hungary and the Czech Republic. While combining findings of expert interviews, data on party manifestos and infringement procedures, it concludes that the partial politicisation did not lead to broader non-compliance in the Czech case, whereas the governmental-led politicisation in Hungary resulted in non-compliance. This difference is explained by the fact that in Hungary, the asylum-related administration, like other bureaucratic fields, has become increasingly re-politicised during the last decade.

AbstractSex workers face a number of health and human rights challenges including heightened risk for HIV infection and suboptimal care and treatment outcomes, institutional and interpersonal violence, labour rights violations, and financial insecurity. In response, sex worker-led groups have been formed and sustained across geographic settings to address these challenges and other needs. Over the last several decades, a growing body of literature has shown that community empowerment approaches among sex workers are associated with significant reductions in HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. Yet legal and policy environments, as well as funding constraints, have often limited the reach, along with the impact and sustainability, of such approaches.In this chapter, we first review the literature on community empowerment and mobilisation strategies as a means to collectively address HIV, violence, and other health and human rights issues among sex workers. We then utilise two case studies, developed by the sex worker-led groups APROASE in Mexico and Ashodaya Samithi in India, to illustrate and contextualise community empowerment processes and challenges, including barriers to scale-up. By integrating the global literature with context-specific case studies, we distil lessons learned and recommendations related to community empowerment approaches among sex workers.

AbstractThis book provides a unique approach to the Moroccan context. Many researchers have conducted fieldwork in Morocco, departing from migration studies (e.g., De Haas 2003, 2006, 2010; Czaika and De Haas 2011; De Haas and El Ghanjou 2000), while others solely focused on environmental and climate changes (e.g., Schilling et al. 2012), leaving the interplay between both to be explored more in-depth. The Moroccan context offers a unique research context because it is confronted with gradual environmental change over the last decades and has initiated considerable action at the national level to develop policies or strategies to counteract these changes. Hence, Morocco in 2019 ranked among the leading countries in the fight against climate change on the Climate Change Performance Index (Burck et al. 2019). Furthermore, Morocco evolved into one of the world’s leading emigration countries in the second half of the twentieth century, being characterized by unexpected developments, including colonial migration, labour migration, family reunification, and, recently, undocumented migration. This led to a high degree of internal differentiation within the Moroccan migrant population and strong and influential migrant networks (De Haas 2007; Schilling et al. 2012; cf. Chap. 10.1007/978-3-030-61390-7_3).

The presented contribution analyses – in the context of Jan Zouhar’s research scope and also on the background of the professional interests of the immortalized František Kautman (1927–2016) – the ‘philosophy’ of T. G. Masaryk’s (1850–1937) work. At the beginning, there are new publications on his alleged origin from the family of the Austro-Hungarian monarch, further their fictionalization, the investigation of his late sexual life and, last but not least, the flow of his juvenile correspondence with Zdenka Šemberová (1841–1912). For her, this communication was full of erotic and intellectual hopes which were not fulfilled and led to her lifelong loneliness and resignation, especially after the death of her father Alois Vojtěch Šembera (1807–1882), professor of Vienna Slavonic studies, one of the first opponents of the medieval authenticity of the legendary Czech Manuscripts, all of this on the background of the life of the university and Czech Vienna, where they both lived, and the adjacent Moravia. Masaryk, with his weak knowledge of standard Czech, Šemberová, at that time already a mature lady, record in their correspondence the course of their lives, their opinions, readings, and document their intellectual maturing. Their correspondence represents evidence of the lives of both: Masaryk was gradually becoming a scholar and mainly a politician, and understood their correspondence, from which Zdenka expected also an amorous fulfilment, as a mere practical exercise in stylistics and a confrontation of opinions. Their correspondence throws a new, not always favourable light on the youth of the future Czechoslovak president. Already there, the elementary features of his personality were taking their shapes.

Texto completoResumen
The use of technology in personnel recruiting has increased tremendously within the last few years. In particular, the World Wide Web (www) has gained importance for human resource (HR) managers (see, for example, Puck, 2002). Different methods of ehuman resource management have been developed, among them electronic recruiting. According to Lee (2005), “e-recruiting is the second largest application in the e-commerce area” (p. 493). Anyhow, research results on electronic recruiting are relatively scarce and the existing studies are published in a number of different disciplines and publication types. Given both the relevance and the scarce results this chapter aims to review the existing studies and to summarize their findings. To do so, we explain the two major methods of electronic recruiting—internal corporate Web site recruiting and external online recruiting—and discuss their benefits and pitfalls from the perspective of employing companies. Finally, we present possible future developments in the field.

This chapter offers an obituary for Leopold Kozłowski. It describes Leopold as the last klezmer, who died at the venerable age of 100 on 12 March. It recalls how Leopold spent several months in the labour camp at Kurowice, recounting how he taught a Nazi officer the accordion in exchange for food, and how the Nazis forced him to compose a “death tango” and play while other Jews were led to their deaths. It also mentions Leopold's survival from the labour camp and resettlement in Kraków, where he studied conducting at the Higher State Music School. The chapter notes Leopold's composition of music for films and the theatre, even acting in the film Schindler's List while serving as an adviser on the music of the ghetto. It highlights his performances in Poland, Europe, the United States, and Israel, which he continued until the end of his life.

Abstract: After the Iraqi Republican Revolution of 1958, the resultant government commissioned two parallel projects for two great Stadiums in Baghdad, with similar complementary features: one to the Swiss architect Le Corbusier – who had developed a previous project (1955-1958) for the monarch Faisal II –, continuously designed in his Paris studio until his death in 1965; another to the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, in Lisbon, entirely funded and supervised by this institution, and designed by two prominent Portuguese architects at the time: F. Keil do Amaral and Carlos M. Ramos. Facing a progressive administrative and financial chaos in the country, the Iraqi authorities opted for the Gulbenkian Foundation’s solution – built between 1962-1965 and inaugurated in 1966, after an intriguing diplomatic process -, postponing Le Corbusier’s proposals yet without breaking their contract with him. This essay presents an explanation for this mysterious “affair” based on a recent research conducted at the Presidency Archive of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, but also at the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) where different documents reveal the continuous mismatch between Le Corbusier’s will and the Iraqi authorities procedures. Resumen: Después de la Revolución Republicana iraquí de 1958, el gobierno resultante encargó dos proyectos paralelos para dos grandes estadios en Bagdad con características similares: uno a lo arquitecto suizo Le Corbusier - que había desarrollado un proyecto anterior para el monarca Faisal II (entre 1955 y 1958 ) -, diseñado de forma continua en su estudio de París hasta su muerte en 1965; otro a la Fundación Calouste Gulbenkian, en Lisboa, totalmente financiado y supervisado por esta institución, y diseñado por dos destacados arquitectos portugueses de la época: F. Keil do Amaral y Carlos M. Ramos. Frente a un caos administrativo y financiero progresivo en el país, las autoridades iraquíes optaron por el proyecto presentado por la Fundación Gulbenkian – construido entre 1962-1965 e inaugurado en 1966, después de un intrigante proceso diplomático -, posponiendo las propuestas de Le Corbusier todavía sin romper su contrato con él. Este ensayo presenta una explicación para esta "trama"misteriosa, basado en una investigación reciente - llevada a cabo en el Archivo de la Presidencia de la Fundación Calouste Gulbenkian, sino también en el Centro Canadiense de Arquitectura (CCA) -, en la que los diferentes elementos documentales revelan la falta de correspondencia continua entre la voluntad de Le Corbusier y los procedimientos de las autoridades iraquíes.

Resumen: El arquitecto español Rafael Leoz de la Fuente (1921-1976) antes de terminar sus estudios en 1955, comenzó a colaborar con otros compañeros en la realización de proyectos de vivienda social. Su experiencia en la obra del Poblado Dirigido de Orcasitas, le llevó a iniciar un proceso investigador al que dedicó gran parte de su trabajo. Los trabajos teóricos del arquitecto tuvieron una importante difusión y repercusión internacional, en gran parte, fruto de su amistad con Jean Prouvé y Le Corbusier. La sintonía personal y coincidencia de intereses entre ellos llevaron a éste último a proponer a Rafael Leoz como miembro del Cercle d'Études Architecturales de París en 1962. Dentro de su ambicioso proyecto de investigación teórica Rafael Leoz estableció dos objetivos consecutivos, por una parte la ordenación abstracta del espacio, para posteriormente organizar y construir el espacio concreto en que habitan las personas. A partir de las publicaciones de Rafael Leoz y documentación original de su archivo, se intentará precisar las relaciones personales y profesionales entre Le Corbusier y Rafael Leoz. Así mismo se mostrarán los vínculos entre El Modulor de Le Corbusier y las investigaciones de Rafael Leoz, sus propuestas modulares y dimensionales a partir de la Serie Amarilla como complemento y consecuencia de las series Roja y Azul del Modulor, llegando hasta el desarrollo de organizaciones de vivienda social. Abstract: The Spanish architect Rafael Leoz de la Fuente (1921-1976) before finishing his studies in 1955, began to collaborate with other partners in the realization of social housing projects. His experience in the work of the Poblado Dirigido de Orcasitas, led him to initiate a research process to which he dedicated much of his work. The theoretical works of the architect had an important dissemination and international impact, to a large extent, due to his friendship with Le Corbusier and Jean Prouvé. Personal tuning and coincidence of interests between them, led Le Corbusier to propose to Rafael Leoz as a member of the Cercle d'Études Architecturales in Paris in 1962. Within this ambitious project of theoretical research Rafael Leoz established two consecutive goals, on one hand, the abstract spatial planning, to later organize and build a specific space in which people dwell. From publications of Rafael Leoz and original documentation of his files, this paper tries to clarify personal and professional relationships between Le Corbusier and Rafael Leoz. Also pretends to establish some links between the Modulor of Le Corbusier and Rafael Leoz investigations. Moreover it will show Leoz’s modular and dimensional proposals from the Yellow Series both as a complement and a result of the Red and Blue series of the Modulor, reaching the development of organizations of social housing.

Texto completoResumen
Resumen: Pedro Vieira de Almeida (Lisboa, 1933 – Matosinhos, 2011) es uno de los más importantes críticos y teóricos de la arquitectura en la segunda mitad del siglo XX en Portugal. En 1963, presenta en la Escuela de Bellas Artes de Oporto una tesis titulada “Ensayo sobre el espacio de la arquitectura”, influida por el pensamiento de Bruno Zevi. Hasta la Revolución de los Claveles (1974), va a compaginar su práctica profesional como arquitecto con una intensa actividad crítica ejercida sobre todo en periódicos y revistas culturales. Desde sus primeros trabajos se evidencia una notable capacidad de utilizar conceptos críticos innovadores en el análisis de obras de arquitectura, lo que será fundamental en sus estudios historicos desarrollados a lo largo de su vida, dados a conocer en publicaciones y exposiciones retrospectivas sobre arquitectos clave. Este ensayo propone una reflexión sobre el legado de Le Corbusier poniendo el aciento en algunos artículos de Vieira de Almeida escritos entre 1965 y 1970, así como en la investigación que ha llevado a cabo en los últimos años de su vida. Esta lectura diacrónica pone de relieve el papel central del maestro franco-suizo en la lectura crítica de Vieira de Almeida del racionalismo, a través de las nociones por él manejadas: “estructura crítica como condición base de la creación”, las vertientes poético-simbólica y mítica de la arquitectura o el concepto de carácter más instrumental de la “espesura”. Abstract: Pedro Vieira de Almeida (Lisbon, 1933 – Matosinhos, 2011) is one of the most prominent critics and theorists of architecture in the second half of the 20th century in Portugal. In 1963, he presented at the Oporto School of Fine Arts a thesis entitled “Essay on architectural space”, clearly influenced by the thoughts of Bruno Zevi. Until the Carnation Revolution (1974), he will combine his professional practice as an architect with an intense critical activity, developed mainly in newspapers and cultural magazines. Since his early work, a remarkable ability to use innovative concepts in the critical analysis of buildings have been put forth, with major consequences in his historiographical studies, developed throughout his life through publications or retrospective exhibitions on key architects. The following paper proposes a reflection on the legacy of Le Corbusier based on Vieira de Almeida’s theoretical work, linking some texts written between 1965 and 1970 with his research carried out in his last years of life. This diachronic study highlights the central role of Le Corbusier in Vieira de Almeida’s critical approach to rationalism, by means of notions as: “criticism as a basic condition of creation”, poetic-symbolic and mythical aspects of architecture, or the more instrumental concept of “thickness”.

Resumen: Se realiza un estudio completo, teórico, empírico, numérico y perceptual, de las Maisons Jaoul de Le Corbusier intentando esclarecer su comportamiento higrotérmico y climático. Con ello se pretende conocer en detalle la realidad de esta obra emblemática de la arquitectura doméstica del siglo XX. De la contraposición de los datos obtenidos en las dos viviendas de volumetría y compacidad prácticamente iguales, pero con una orientación ortogonal se extraen conclusiones reveladoras que no hacen más que afianzar la condición excepcional de las Maisons Jaoul dentro de la obra del arquitecto. Todo ello, tamizado por la percepción de los actuales habitantes de las viviendas. Abstract: Trying to achieve a better understanding of the higrothermic performance of The Maisons Jaoul of Le Corbusier, they are studied from different approaches: theoretical, empiric, numeric and perceptual. The aim is to understand profoundly this emblematic building of the domestic architecture of the XX century. For that, the study analyses the project, but also compares and contrasts a series of data coming from the two houses which have a very similar volume and compactness but orthogonal orientation to finally take account of the perception of the actual inhabitants. Conclusions are revealing and strengthen the idea of how exceptional the Maisons Jaoul are in the architect's production.

Texto completoResumen
Treatment of used nuclear fuel through solvent extraction separation processes is hindered by radiolytic damage from radioactive isotopes present in used fuel. The nature of the damage caused by the radiation may depend on the radiation type, whether it be low linear energy transfer (LET) such as gamma radiation or high LET such as alpha radiation. Used nuclear fuel contains beta/gamma emitting isotopes but also a significant amount of transuranics which are generally alpha emitters. Studying the respective effects on matter of both of these types of radiation will allow for accurate prediction and modeling of process performance losses with respect to dose. Current studies show that alpha radiation has milder effects than that of gamma. This is important to know because it will mean that solvent extraction solutions exposed to alpha radiation may last longer than expected and need less repair and replacement. These models are important for creating robust, predictable, and economical processes that have strong potential for mainstream adoption on the commercial level. The effects of gamma radiation on solvent extraction ligands have been more extensively studied than the effects of alpha radiation. This is due to the inherent difficulty in producing a sufficient and confluent dose of alpha particles within a sample without leaving the sample contaminated with long lived radioactive isotopes. Helium ion beam and radioactive isotope sources have been studied in the literature. We have developed a method for studying the effects of high LET radiation in situ via 10B activation and the high LET particles that result from the 10B(n,α)7Li reaction which follows. Our model for dose involves solving a partial differential equation representing absorption by 10B of an isentropic field of neutrons penetrating a sample. This method has been applied to organic solutions of TBP and CMPO, two ligands common in TRU solvent extraction treatment processes. Rates of degradation of TBP and CMPO and their respective degradation products in the presence of high LET radiation are presented and discussed. These results are also compared to gamma studies performed in our lab and other gamma and alpha studies found in the literature. The possible application of this method to a variety of other solvent extraction ligands to study the effects of high LET radiation is also considered.

Resumen: La obra de Le Corbusier no puede ser entendida sin la influencia directa que han tenido los colaboradores durante toda su vida. Pensadores, ingenieros y arquitectos, especialistas en todas las disciplinas relacionadas con la arquitectura. Esta visión, ayuda a entender tanto su pensamiento como su obra. Todos ellos, personajes de extraordinarias cualidades, ocultos en mayor o menor medida tras la figura del maestro, aunque muchos pasarían a la historia como parte de los mejores arquitectos del siglo XX. Uno de estos colaboradores y quizá el más olvidado, fue André Missenard, colaborador aparentemente menor según las clásicas visiones de la historiografía de la arquitectura, siendo recogido en escasa bibliografía. Sin embargo, es el más importante a la hora de abordar la visión medioambiental propugnada por Le Corbusier en los años 50 y 60. Desde la documentación original de los proyectos, donde son continuas las alusiones a Missenard hasta sus aportaciones sobre ventilación natural, humedad, temperatura ambiental, superficies radiantes, calefacción, etc. Parte importante en los estudios climáticos realizados para el plan de Chandigarh, como la importante Grille Climatique. Abstract: Le Corbusier's work can not be understood without the direct influence that all employees had throughout his life. Thinkers, engineers and architects, specialists in all disciplines related to architecture. This view helps to understand his thinking and his work. All of them, had extraordinary qualities, hidden in varying degrees after the figure of Le Corbusier, though many would go down in history as some of the best architects of the twentieth century. One of these partners and perhaps the most forgotten, was André Missenard, seemingly minor contributor by conventional visions of historiography of architecture, being collected in scant literature. However, it is the most important in addressing environmental vision espoused by Le Corbusier in the years 50 and 60. Since the original project documentation, which are continuous allusions to Missenard up their contributions on natural ventilation, humidity, environmental temperature, radiant surfaces, heating, etc. Important part in climate studies for the plan of Chandigarh, as the important Grille Climatique.

Abstract: From technical solution, the roof-garden became a key spatial theme within Le Corbusier’s work and creativity, evolving to become a fundamental component of his vision for the contemporary city. The roof garden is an open space in which to cultivate both the mind and body, and to experience a direct relationship with nature; through plants, the sky, and the sun, the urban and the natural world are combined together in the surroundings. This article follows the principal steps of Le Corbusier’s research, starting with his initial experimentation in his own apartment studio in rue Nungesser-et-Coli, through to the complex development at the Unité. It follows how the roof garden becomes an optical device toward the horizon and a strong evocative instrument. The relationship with the nature and the horizon are the key of readings of several selected design projects which demonstrate at the same time the continuity of the research and the richness of the variations on the theme itself. The roof garden is one of the most fertile topics of Le Corbusier’s legacy, evident in contemporary architectural developments. Resumen: A partir de una solución técnica, el roof-garden se convierte en el tema central del trabajo y de la poética de Le Corbusier, evolucionando para convertirse en un componente fundamental de su visión de la ciudad contemporánea. El roofgarden es un espacio abierto en el que el hombre puede cultivar la mente y el cuerpo, donde se puede experimentar una relación directa con la naturaleza -la vegetación, a través de las plantas, el cielo, el sol, el urbano -y el mundo natural se combinan juntos en los alrededores. Este texto sigue los pasos principales de la investigación de Le Corbusier , partiendo de las experimentaciones iniciales -en su apartamento-estudio en la rue Nungesser-et-Coli- hasta el complejo desarrollado en la Unité. El texto sigue como el roof garden se convierte en un dispositivo óptico hacia el horizonte y en un gran instrumento evocativo. La relación con la naturaleza y el horizonte son las claves de lectura de varios proyectos seleccionados que muestran a la vez la continuidad de la investigación y la riqueza de las variaciones sobre el tema. El roof garden es uno de los temas más vivos del legado de Le Corbusier, también de gran importancia hoy en la arquitectura contemporánea. Keywords: Roof-garden; Nature; View; Horizon; Landscape.

Abstract In Belgium 57% of the electricity is presently generated by 7 nuclear units of the PWR type located in Doel and Tihange. Their total output amounts to 5632 MWe. Part of the spent fuel unloaded from the first three units has been sent till 2000 for reprocessing in the Cogema facility at La Hague. As the reprocessing of the spent fuel produced by the last four units is not covered by the contracts concluded with Cogema, Synatom, the Belgian utilities’ subsidiary in charge of the front- and back-end of the nuclear fuel cycle for all PWR reactors in Belgium, decided to study the possible solutions for a temporary storage of this spent fuel. End of 1993, the Belgian government decided that reprocessing (closed cycle) and direct disposal (open cycle) of spent fuel had to be considered as equal options in the back-end policy for nuclear fuel in Belgium. The resolution further allowed continued execution of a running reprocessing contract (from 1978) and use of the corresponding Pu for MOX in Belgian NPP’s, but requested a reprocessing contract concluded in 1990 (for reprocessing services after 2000) not to be executed during a five-year period. During this period priority was to be given to studies on the once-through cycle as an option for spent fuel management. Figure 1 is a chart showing the two alternatives for the spent fuel cycle in Belgium. In this context, Synatom entrusted Belgatom1 to develop a dedicated flask (called “bottle”) for direct disposal of spent fuel, to perform a design study of an appropriate encapsulation process and to prepare a preliminary feasibility study of a complete spent fuel conditioning plant. Meanwhile preparation works were made for the construction of an interim storage facility on both NPP sites of Doel and Tihange in order to meet increasing storage capacity needs. For selecting the type of interim storage facility, Belgatom performed a technical-economical analysis. Considerations of design and safety criteria as well as flexibility, reversibility, technical constraints, global economical aspects and construction time led to adopt dry storage with dual purpose casks (in operation since end 1995) for the Doel site and wet storage in a modular pool for the Tihange site (in operation since 1997). In parallel, ONRAF/NIRAS, the Belgian Agency for the management of radioactive waste and enriched fissile materials and the Belgian nuclear research centre, SCK•CEN, conduct underground investigations in view of geological disposal. The paper describes the methodology that Belgatom has developed to provide the utilities with appropriate solutions (reracking, dry storage in casks, wet storage in ponds, etc.) and how Belgatom demonstrated also the feasibility of spent fuel conditioning with a view to direct disposal in clay layers. The spent fuel storage facilities in operation in Belgium and designed and built by Belgatom are then briefly presented.

Resumen: Este trabajo analiza, por diversos medios, el proyecto de la capilla mortuoria con dos tumbas para el expresidente militar Carlos Delgado-Chalbaud y su padre. El encargo, no realizado, fue el único que, tras varias tentativas, pudo ejecutarse en Caracas, Venezuela. Le Corbusier archivó este proyecto como un “Monument”, y dentro de su trayectoria solo estuvo precedido por otro de carácter funerario dedicado al Mariscal F. Foch en la Porte Maillot de París y, posteriormente, diseñará su propia tumba en Cap Martin. Esto convierte al proyecto de Caracas, prácticamente desconocido, en un caso singular dentro de las tipologías funeraria y religiosa. La reconstrucción planteada se sustenta en la documentación conservada, el análisis histórico de las fuentes documentales, el empleo de la perspectiva clásica y las herramientas digitales para aportar precisiones y avances sobre estudios previos. En paralelo, la comparación con propuestas formales similares, enmarca el objeto de estudio dentro del legado del arquitecto. La pirámide ejemplifica la relación entre hombre y naturaleza, el “juego jugado por el hombre con los elementos cósmicos”, el papel de la forma, y de las trazas reguladoras en un período en el que su racionalismo purista se abre a interpretaciones más expresivas de la forma. En el fondo de esta investigación subyace el interés por comprender el proceso proyectual de Le Corbusier y su idea de arquitectura en torno a los años 50, al tiempo que se reconstruye un proyecto prácticamente borrado. Abstract: By several methods, this work analyzes the project for the mausoleum with two tombs for the former military president Carlos Delgado Chalbaud and his father. The unrealized commission was the only work that could have built in Caracas, Venezuela. Le Corbusier archive this project categorized as a “Monument” and in his career, it was only preceded by another funerary project dedicated to Mariscal F. Foch located in Porte Maillot in Paris, France. Only there was another funeral project: his own grave at Cap Martin. This makes this virtually unknown project in Caracas, a singular case framed within the funeral and religious categories. The proposed reconstruction is based on the preserved documentation, historical analysis of various documentary sources, the use of classical perspective and digital tools to provide clarifications and progress on previous studies. Parallel, comparisons with similar previous and subsequent formal proposals frames the object of study in its entire legacy. The pyramid illustrates the relationship between man and nature “the game played by the man with the cosmic elements”, in a period in which his purist rationalism opens to a more expressive performances in form. In the background of this research lays an interest in understanding the design process of Le Corbusier and his idea of architecture around the 50’s, while a virtually erased project is restored.

Texto completoResumen
Prediction of the aerodynamic stability of rotor blades at the last stage of steam turbines is of great importance and widely studied. Considering the large span and low natural frequency of these blades, flow at the tip region has a remarkable effect on blade flutter characteristics. However, the transonic tip-clearance flow in these blades has a complex structure of vortices. To obtain a deep understanding of the transonic tip-clearance flow structure in steam turbines, the Detached-Eddy Simulation (DES) is applied in this paper. DES is a hybrid LES/RANS method that activates LES in specified flow regions and applies URANS in other regions of the flow field. As far as we are aware, the tip-clearance flow structure of real-scale last stage steam turbine by high-fidelity numerical method had not been much analyzed in open literature. In this paper, the transonic tip-clearance flow structure in modern last stage of steam turbines is analyzed by both URANS and DES approaches. The open steam turbine model designed by Durham University is chosen as the research model. The flow solver applied is the commercial software ANSYS CFX. From the DES result, the tip leakage vortex and the induced vortices are presented. Based on the comparison between tip-clearance flow structure captured by the two approaches, the URANS method is not able to resolve all induced vortices. Therefore, the distribution of aerodynamic loading on the blade surface is different between URANS and DES results. The present study serves as a basis for investigating the influence of the tip-clearance flow structure on blade aeroelasticity.

Texto completoResumen
This paper explores the politics of repression and coercion in Belarus, with a focus on the Belarusian authorities’ brutal responses to dissident activities. While repressions are seen to be a backbone of authoritarian rule, there is a lack of case studies of repressions and repressive policies in different kinds of authoritarian regimes and their interaction with other mechanisms of authoritarian sustainability. As Belarus has demonstrated, Lukashenko’s effort’s at perpetuating his power have prompted his regime into increasing the role of repressions. Coercion and repression have been critical to suppressing dissent and pluralism across the country. Essentially, successful, mass-based opposition to the ruling elites, that led to 2014 Maidan Revolution in Ukraine and the 2018 “Velvet Revolution” in Armenia served as examples to discontented elements in Belarus. Meanwhile, to shield itself from the diffusion effects of ‘color revolutions’, the Belarusian regime has tended to reinforce its repressive toolkit through suppressing the civil society, coercing the opposition, and preventing the latter from challenging Lukashenko’s rule. This study enquires into the anatomy of repressive governance in Europe’s “last dictatorship.”
