Litterært engasjement og innlevelse i bildebokapper
2021
I denne artikkelen settes søkelyset på den litterære opplevelsen når barn leser bildebokapper i små grupper i barnehagen. Vi ser på hvordan det Rosenblatt (1994) kaller estetisk lesemåte kan komme til uttrykk i lesernes engasjement og innlevelse. Vi har gjort et strategisk utvalg av eksempler fra et empirisk materiale med totalt 24 filmer av applesing i barnehager, der barna enkeltvis og som gruppe viser et stort engasjement. Analysen søker å svare på spørsmålet: Hva er det som skaper dette engasjementet blant barna? Og hvordan blir engasjementet ivaretatt i samspill med barnehagelæreren som leder lesingen? I analysen utdyper vi den estetiske lesemåten ved hjelp av Marie-Laure Ryans (2015, …
Witnessing objectivity on a quantum computer
2021
Understanding the emergence of objectivity from the quantum realm has been a long standing issue strongly related to the quantum to classical crossover. Quantum Darwinism provides an answer, interpreting objectivity as consensus between independent observers. Quantum computers provide an interesting platform for such experimental investigation of quantum Darwinism, fulfilling their initial intended purpose as quantum simulators. Here we assess to what degree current NISQ devices can be used as experimental platforms in the field of quantum Darwinism. We do this by simulating an exactly solvable stochastic collision model, taking advantage of the analytical solution to benchmark the experime…
Los bienes comunes como aproximación materialista al problema del bien común: una réplica a Ermanno Vitale
2021
Este artículo pretende ser una réplica a alguno de los planteamientos críticos que ha desarrollado Ermanno Vitale contra las teorías de los bienes comunes, especialmente contra las teorías benecomunistas que han florecido en el debate político y académico italiano. En particular, pretende responder a una conferencia pronunciada por el filósofo italiano en diciembre de 2020 –cuyo texto se reproduce en este mismo número de la revista–, en la que propuso rechazar las doctrinas de los comunes, en favor de la clásica noción del bien común. Aquí se sostendrá que, en realidad, las teorías de los comunes constituyen la única estrategia interesante para replantear el concepto de bien común en la act…
Neural specialization to human faces at the age of 7 months.
2021
AbstractSensitivity to human faces has been suggested to be an early emerging capacity that promotes social interaction. However, the developmental processes that lead to cortical specialization to faces has remained unclear. The current study investigated both cortical sensitivity and categorical specificity through event-related potentials (ERPs) previously implicated in face processing in 7-month-old infants (N290) and adults (N170). Using a category-specific repetition/adaptation paradigm, cortical specificity to human faces, or control stimuli (cat faces), was operationalized as changes in ERP amplitude between conditions where a face probe was alternated with categorically similar or …
Development of "Quadrello di Ovino", a Novel Fresh Ewe's Cheese.
2021
This work was performed to produce a new soft ewe’s milk cheese, namely “Quadrello di ovino” (QdO) cheese, to enlarge ewe’s dairy product portfolio of South Italy, barely limited to Pecorino cheese typology. Cheese making was performed applying the technology for “Crescenza” cheese typology with some modifications. In particular, pasteurized ewes’ milk was inoculated with two commercial starter formulations (SF1 and SF2) of Streptococcus thermophilus to obtain two different productions (QdO-P1 and QdO-P2, respectively). Plate counts demonstrated the ability of both starter formulations to drive the fermentation process, since S. thermophilus counts reached 109 CFU/g in both productions. Gen…
Modeling of biomolecular machines in non-equilibrium steady states
2021
Numerical computations have become a pillar of all modern quantitative sciences. Any computation involves modeling--even if often this step is not made explicit--and any model has to neglect details while still being physically accurate. Equilibrium statistical mechanics guides both the development of models and numerical methods for dynamics obeying detailed balance. For systems driven away from thermal equilibrium such a universal theoretical framework is missing. For a restricted class of driven systems governed by Markov dynamics and local detailed balance, stochastic thermodynamics has evolved to fill this gap and to provide fundamental constraints and guiding principles. The next step…
Lections through Lecture Performance. Making forgotten conflicts visible through International and Comparative Education
2021
In the supra and international scenario, conflict and education in countries involved in armed conflicts have become a powerful raison d'être on the part of both institutions and scholars, that have been developing various topics regarding politics and organization, in addition to didactics. Comparative and International Education are presently redefinin its features and ontological elements and contribute to these issues, given their plural and eclectic nature. In the light of the abovementioned, this article aims to present the research and results of an innovative education project that relies on International Education to spotlight the situation of education in countries involved in con…

La temática del estudio se sitúa en el ámbito de la pilota valenciana, un deporte con un importante arraigo social y cultural en el territorio valenciano. Concretamente, en el fenómeno que supone la presencia creciente de mujeres en dicho deporte, tradicionalmente masculinizado. El objetivo principal de la investigación es analizar la situación actual de la participación femenina, teniendo en cuenta factores contextuales, sociohistóricos y biográficos. Nos preguntamos por aquellas las causas que han favorecido su inc…
Más allá de la retórica. ¿Qué queda en pie del bonum commune?
2021
En el artículo se propone un recorrido a través de algunos clásicos de la filosofía política que dedicaron una especial atención al tema tradicional del bonum commune –desde los clásicos griegos hasta Schumpeter–, con el fin de dilucidar qué sentido podría tener hoy el «bien común» (en singular). Antes de ello, a la vista del debate sobre el tema relativamente reciente de los «bienes comunes» (en plural), el artículo propone distinguir, e intenta buscar terrenos de compatibilidad posible, entre bien común y bienes comunes, no sin antes hacer alguna observación crítica sobre estos últimos. En conclusión, es necesario admitir que la destrucción schumpeteriana de la misma idea de bien común re…
Radbruch´s Introduction to the Science of Law as the Spirit of a Time
2021
En este artículo comparo la primera y última edición de la Introducción de la ciencia del derecho de Gustav Radbruch. Me centro en aquellos aspectos que bosquejan su concepto de derecho, a saber, la relación entre derecho y moral, su modelo de Estado y la creación judicial del derecho. El resultado está determinado por la circunstancia vital e histórica de las dos ediciones: la primera publicada antes de la IGM, siendo Radbruch un joven docente en Heidelberg; la última fue redactada ya en la República de Weimar, habiendo ocupado la cartera de Justicia y siendo un reconocido jurista.
Creating the Socio-technical Context Needed to Derive Benefits from Big Data Initiatives in Healthcare
2021
The application of big data in healthcare typifies a complex socio-technical sys- tem. However, although research and practice have advanced the technical aspects of big data, comparable advancements in the social aspects (i.e., human and structural aspects) are lagging. Literature, especially on socio-technical theory, suggests that organizations may only derive benefits from big data initiatives when technical initiatives are adequate- ly complemented by social interventions. Thus, seeing that big data is receiving consider- able attention in healthcare, researchers have called for further research into the social aspects of the application of big data in healthcare. Adopting a socio-tech…
Measuring the Developmental Function of Peer Review: A Multi-Dimensional, Cross-Disciplinary Analysis of Peer Review Reports from 740 Academic Journa…
2021
Reviewers do not only help editors to screen manuscripts for publication in academic journals; they also serve to increase the rigor and value of manuscripts by constructive feedback. However, measuring this developmental function of peer review is difficult as it requires fine-grained data on reports and journals without any optimal benchmark. To fill this gap, we adapted a recently proposed quality assessment tool and tested it on a sample of 1.3 million reports submitted to 740 Elsevier journals in 2018–2020. Results showed that the developmental standards of peer review are shared across areas of research, yet with remarkable differences. Reports submitted to social science and economic…
Análisis sociojurídico de las transformaciones en la provisión de seguridad. Austeridad y aporofobia como racionalidades estructurantes de los derech…
2021
Desde la perspectiva sociojurídica de los estudios de la gobernabilidad, se analiza la evolución de las estrategias de provisión de seguridad, desde su orientación neoliberal hasta el predominio de la austeridad desde la crisis de 2008. Se delimita así un escenario en el que la desigualdad y la aporofobia son elementos fundamentales del marco axiológico hegemónico. Esto es relevante para la configuración y efectividad de los derechos sociales de distintos grupos vulnerables. El artículo se aproxima finalmente a la situación de las empleadas de hogar y de quienes acceden a una vivienda mediante la ocupación de inmuebles vacíos en España.
The language of profit warnings: a case of denial, defiance, desperation and defeat
2021
PurposeTaking a communication perspective, the paper explores management's rhetoric in profit warnings, whose sole purpose is to disclose unexpected bad news.Design/methodology/approachAdopting a close-reading approach to text analysis, the authors analyse three profit warnings of the now-collapsed Carillion, contrasting the rhetoric with contemporaneous investor conference calls to discuss the profit warnings and board minutes recording boardroom discussions of the case company's precarious financial circumstances. The analysis applies an Aristotelian framework, focussing on logos (appealing to logic and reason), ethos (appealing to authority) and pathos (appealing to emotion) to examine h…

2021
Link to dataset related to article "X Chromosome Contribution to the Genetic Architecture of Primary Biliary Cholangitis" Abstract Background & aims: Genome-wide association studies in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) have failed to find X chromosome (chrX) variants associated with the disease. Here, we specifically explore the chrX contribution to PBC, a sexually dimorphic complex autoimmune disease. Methods: We performed a chrX-wide association study, including genotype data from 5 genome-wide association studies (from Italy, United Kingdom, Canada, China, and Japan; 5244 case patients and 11,875 control individuals). Results: Single-marker association analyses found approx…
Honeybees affect floral microbiome composition in a central food source for wild pollinators in boreal ecosystems
2021
AbstractBasic knowledge on dispersal of microbes in pollinator networks is essential for plant, insect, and microbial ecology. Thorough understanding of the ecological consequences of honeybee farming on these complex plant–pollinator–microbe interactions is a prerequisite for sustainable honeybee keeping. Most research on plant–pollinator–microbe interactions have focused on temperate agricultural systems. Therefore, information on a wild plant that is a seasonal bottleneck for pollinators in cold climate such as Salix phylicifolia is of specific importance. We investigated how floral visitation by insects influences the community structure of bacteria and fungi in Salix phylicifolia inflo…

Applying Benford’s Law to Monitor Death Registration Data: A Management Tool for the COVID-19 Pandemic
2021
In Spain, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the various regions of the country differ7 ently. The availability of reliable and up-to-date information has proved to be fundamental for the 8 management of this health crisis. However, especially during the first wave of the pandemic (Feb9 ruary-August 2020), the disparity in the recording criteria and in the timing of providing these fig10 ures to the central government created controversy and confusion regarding the real dimension of 11 the pandemic. It is therefore necessary to have objective and homogeneous criteria at the national 12 level to guide health managers in the correct recording and evaluation of the magnitude of the pan13 demic…

Más allá de lo constituido. Lo común como hipótesis jurídico-constitucional
2021
En la tarea de ir más allá de lo instituido/constituido, el debate y las prácticas sobre los (bienes) comunes están alcanzando un claro protagonismo. El punto de partida, especialmente por lo que respecta a la reflexión constitucional, se hallaría en la contrastada insuficiencia del discurso de los derechos ante la capacidad de acaparamiento privado (y también público) de los recursos y servicios colectivos. Frente a ello, el presente texto trata de mostrar la dimensión constitucional del debate sobre lo común, a través de su engarce con la institucionalidad público-estatal y su capacidad destituyente/constituyente. A partir de ahí, se proponen elementos para pensar un Derecho del Común y u…
La corte vicereale di Sicilia tra pubblico e privato: dinamiche cortigiane, ruoli, poteri
2021
Il saggio delinea alcuni caratteri della corte del viceré in Sicilia in età asburgica: la sua famiglia, la cerchia dei confidenti, composizione e articolazione dei ruoli istituzionali, costi, forme del coinvolgimento. Ne emerge un contesto articolato, uno scenario in cui si confrontavano poteri di diversa intensità e in competizione sul territorio, si determinavano scontri giurisdizionali, dispute patrimoniali e accordi matrimoniali, liti e vendette private: elementi che evidenziano la complessità del rapporto fra nobiltà periferica e potere centrale, relazioni interpersonali e reti di livello internazionale, pratiche negoziali diffuse, che confermano la rappresentazione di un regno niente …
Assessing the Effect of Drivers’ Gender on Their Intention to Use Fully Automated Vehicles
2021
Although fully automated vehicles (SAE level 5) are expected to acquire a major relevance for transportation dynamics by the next few years, the number of studies addressing their perceived benefits from the perspective of human factors remains substantially limited. This study aimed, firstly, to assess the relationships among drivers’ demographic factors, their assessment of five key features of automated vehicles (i.e., increased connectivity, reduced driving demands, fuel and trip-related efficiency, and safety improvements), and their intention to use them, and secondly, to test the predictive role of the feature’ valuations over usage intention, focusing on gender as a key …

Synthesis of Hybrid Tripeptide Peptidomimetics Containing Dehydroamino Acid and Aminophosphonic Acid in the Chain and Evaluation of Their Activity to…
2021
Synthesis of a new group of hybrid phosphonodehydropeptides composed of glycyl-(Z)-dehydrophenylalanine and structurally variable aminophosphonates alongside with investigations of their activity towards cathepsin C are presented. Obtained results suggest that the introduction of (Z)- dehydrophenylalanine residue into the short phosphonopeptide chain does induce the ordered conformation. Investigated peptides appeared to act as weak or moderate inhibitors of cathepsin C.
La atención humanitaria como alternativa viable y eficaz a la detención migratoria: por una política migratoria de retorno centrada en la integración
2021
La detención de personas por su situación administrativa responde a una política migratoria coercitiva de protección «frente» al «otro», e ignora la perspectiva de integración y de protección «de» personas que debe regir toda estrategia en este contexto. La mera privación de libertad en ausencia de delito presenta serias dificultades para justificar su proporcionalidad, necesidad y razonabilidad por lo que urge la implementación real de alternativas a la detención. Los programas de atención humanitaria a los que fueron liberadas muchas personas de los CIE durante la pandemia pueden constituir una alternativa sólida, viable y eficaz que favorece la integración social. Immigration detention i…
National Economic Power. Dynamic Model
2021
The national power can be considered in a static and dynamic aspect as well. This applies to all dimensions of the national power, both military and non-military, including the economic one presented in this article. The national power, treated in a static sense as one of the leading features of the state and estimated over a given period, can only be descriptive. On the other hand, it gains a new dimension in a dynamic sense that consists in the possibility of developing the research into a prognostic area. Therefore, this approach to the issue of the national power has been presented here. The research hypothesis is that on the basis of available statistical data it is possible to constru…
Relaciones entre derecho y literatura en la historia argentina. Propuestas para su estudio desde la filosofía del derecho
2021
El presente trabajo se propone analizar los vínculos derecho y literatura en la historia argentina desde principios del siglo XIX hasta la actualidad. Desde los marcos teóricos que indagan la relación derecho-literatura, se estudiará las posibles articulación y funcionamiento de las producciones literarias en torno al espacio jurídico. Diferentes serán sus narraciones sobre el despliegue normativo, el uso de la fuerza, la protección de los cuerpos, la exclusión de la otredad y la construcción de la subjetividad. La tensión entre estética y normatividad abre nuevos canales de tematización y estudios interdisciplinarios desde la filosofía del derecho. The present work aims to analyze the link…
Forskning på bredden av vetenskapsområdet
2021
De flesta skolämnen har på universitetsnivån en moderdisciplin som värnar om forskningen i ämnets substansfrågor. Slöjd är ett skolämne som saknar en motsvarande moderdisciplin. Till exempel i Finland är slöjd ett eget vetenskapsområde, men placerat inom de pedagogiska vetenskaperna. Slöjd är dock ett mångfasetterat fenomen som behöver studeras i hela sin bredd för att utvecklas, inte enbart som ett skolämne. Syftet med denna artikel är att diskutera behovet av och utmaningar med forskning på bredden, d.v.s. forskning som tar fasta på både slöjdens kärna, den skapande processen och andra slöjdperspektiv. I artikeln diskuteras problematiken på ett teoretiskt allmänt plan. Den teoretiska dis…
Los prejuicios no percibidos y el caso Sócrates: un ejemplo paradigmático
2021
En un trabajo anterior defendimos que no se había prestado suficiente atención al procedimiento utilizado en el juicio contra Sócrates, sin que examináramos las causas de esa desatención. Ahora, tras analizarlas, llegamos a la conclusión de que ese procedimiento se habría malentendido completamente al haberse implementado un prejuicio no percibido. Habríamos extrapolado a ese procedimiento los presupuestos individualistas de los procedimientos vigentes hoy en día y, en consecuencia, habríamos estado sordos a lo que nos dice la tradición. Un ejemplo de sordera que podría ser muy útil para detectar otros casos semejantes de implementación de prejuicios no percibidos. In a previous work, we de…
Corresponsabilità educativa nell’esperienza dei Centri Provinciali per l’Istruzione degli Adulti: i vissuti dei docenti.
2021
Il presente contributo intende presentare una ricerca esplorativa sulle linee di intervento elaborate dai docenti dei Centri Provinciali per l’Istruzione degli Adulti (CPIA), in relazione all’attenzione che essi pongono alla costruzione di azioni coordinate e collaborative con le diverse figure di riferimento, tra cui quella dei tutori legali volontari, per favorire una corresponsabilità educativa che possa aiutare a rispondere in modo adeguato ai bisogni educativi dei minori migranti soli. L’idea di fondo della ricerca è di portare alla luce il ruolo delle scuole, intese come comunità educanti, nei percorsi delicati di affiancamento dei minori migranti non accompagnati in stretta collabora…
Simple approach for an electron extraction layer in all-vacuum processed n-i-p perovskite solar cell
2021
Vacuum processing is considered to be a promising method allowing the scalable fabrication of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). In vacuum processed PSCs, the n-i-p structure employing organic charge transport layers is less common than the p-i-n structure due to limited options to achieve an efficient electron extraction layer (EEL) on indium tin oxide (ITO) with vacuum thermal evaporation. There are a number of specific applications where an n-i-p structure is required and therefore, it is of interest to have alternative solutions for the n-type contact in vacuum processed PSCs. In this work, we report an efficient vacuum deposited EEL using a mixture of conventional organic small molecules, …
Editorial: Hypoxia and Cardiorespiratory Control
2021
To maintain adequate oxygen levels in the body, which is essential for a healthy life, the respiratory and cardiovascular systems play vitally important roles. When the oxygen content is insufficient, i.e., when hypoxia is loaded, respiratory and cardiovascular systems respond to restore, compensate, or adapt to hypoxia, e.g., by increasing ventilation and blood flow to maintain oxygen transport to vital organs. Traditionally, it has been thought that hypoxia is detected solely by carotid and aortic bodies, i.e., by peripheral chemoreceptors, and information from the peripheral chemoreceptors is transmitted to respiratory and cardiovascular centers in the brainstem whose respiratory and car…
The Use of Hall's Technique Preformed Metal Crown (HTPMC) by Pediatric Dentists in Malaysia
2021
Introduction. Hall’s technique preformed metal crown (HTPMC) has been used widely by pediatric dentists in developed countries as a new approach for managing decayed primary molars without local anesthesia, caries removal, and tooth preparation. Currently, inadequate information is available regarding the implementation of this technique (HTPMC) in Malaysia. This study is aimed at evaluating the implementation of HTPMC by Malaysia’s pediatric dentists and identify the co-occurrence frequencies of the HTPMC implementation with the respondents’ demographic profile. Materials and Methods. A cross-sectional questionnaire-based research was conducted among 65 pediatric dentists in Malaysia. Onli…

2021
Study Design: The study design is a retrospective cohort study.Objective: To compare patient-reported outcomes between patients with mild versus moderate-to-severe myelopathy following surgery for cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM).Summary of Background Data: Recent studies have demonstrated that decompression for CSM leads to improved quality of life when measured by patient-reported outcomes. However, it is unknown if preoperative myelopathy classification is predictive of superior postoperative improvements.Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of patients treated surgically for CSM at a single institution from 2014 to 2015 was performed. Preoperative myelopathy severity was c…
Development of an Antifungal Device Based on Oriental Mustard Flour to Prevent Fungal Growth and Aflatoxin B1 Production in Almonds
2021
The present study describes the manufacture of an antifungal device composed of oriental mustard flour and hydroxyethyl-cellulose (H-OMF) and evaluates its efficacity in inhibiting Aspergillus flavus growth and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) production in almonds. Additionally, it compares the H-OMF with allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) and a freeze-dried extract of yellow mustard flour (YMF-E); such substances were previously described as antifungal. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), Minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC), the H-OMF in vitro antifungal activity, and the residual fungal population, as well as the production of AFB1 in almonds were determined. AITC and YMF-E showed significant antifun…
Properties of a Class of Toeplitz Words
2021
We study the properties of the uncountable set of Stewart words. These are Toeplitz words specified by infinite sequences of Toeplitz patterns of the form $\alpha\beta\gamma$, where $\alpha,\beta,\gamma$ is any permutation of the symbols 0,1,?. We determine the critical exponent of the Stewart words, prove that they avoid the pattern $xxyyxx$, find all factors that are palindromes, and determine their subword complexity. An interesting aspect of our work is that we use automata-theoretic methods and a decision procedure for automata to carry out the proofs.
