Background: The group climate within residential youth care institutions is considered a transactional process, both within a group of youth from various cultural backgrounds and between them and their group workers. The ongoing interaction between the cultural characteristics of these girls may influence the quality of the group climate. This study aimed to provide an in-depth account of the living group climate experiences and perceptions of Dutch girls with a Moroccan cultural background in Dutch residential groups. Method: Interpretative phenomenological analysis was employed to explore the girls’ group climate experiences. Result: Three major themes emerged, namely (a) level of involvement of Moroccan girls in their living group, (b) perceptions of Moroccan girls’ sense of belonging in a living group, and (c) cultural and religious equality or disparity results in two interaction patterns. The findings revealed that equality or disparity in language, culture, and religion affect Moroccan girls’ experiences and perceptions of the living group climate. A crucial finding was that cultural and religious disparity leads to interaction patterns wherein the girls pre-emptively exclude themselves from receiving support from native group workers. Conclusion: Professionals must be aware of the cultural and religious dynamics, including the interplay and impact of cultural and religious equality and disparity, influencing Moroccan girls’ group climate experiences.

The identification of animals at an individual-level is the key for studies of wildlife abundance, density, and population dynamics parameters, such as reproduction and survival. The Wildbook is an online and free database employed to identify a wide range of species at the individual-level by comparing their individual marks in photographs, provided either by citizen science endeavors or passive monitoring. Here, we present the first record of the use of the Whiskerbook platform to identify spotted species in South America. The data was obtained by the camera trap monitoring performed at the Ecological Station Terra do Meio in Brazil throughout five years, with an average of 60 cameras/year and a total of 20.668 days of records. We identified at least 78 ocelots along the five years of monitoring, from a total of 810 camera trap records. Recaptures were recorded from four years and occurred always within one year from the first capture. Recaptures were also recorded within the same year and place for 17 ocelot individuals and co-occurrences suggested that a mean of 3.7 individuals were recorded sharing 14 cameras over the years. Despite Whiskerbook’s limitations, it has demonstrated to be a promising tool for conservation issues, and its potential should be further explored by wildlife researchers.

ABSTRACTTraditional fermentation using natural microorganisms often results in uncontrolled and inconsistent product quality. Identifying dominant LAB and yeast species through morphological, physiological, and biochemical characterization, this study aimed to optimize the traditional fermentation process of injera dough fermentation. Ersho and dough were prepared in the laboratory, and LAB and yeast were identified and enumerated by smearing on a petri dish at 24-hour intervals from 0 to 96 hours of fermentation. The growth kinetics of both LAB and yeast in fermented teff dough significantly increased (p < 0.05) from 8.91 to 9.97 log CFU/gm and 5.98 to 7.62 log CFU/gm as fermentation time increased. Five dominant LAB species (Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus Brevis, Lactobacillus Plantarum, Bacillus subtilis, and Enterococcus casseliflavus) and three dominant yeast strains (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida krusei, and Pichia kudriavzevii) were identified. Based on the physicochemical analysis and sensory acceptability result, application of a single starter culture in teff dough fermentation improved fermentation time and acid production.

Mathematics is the subject in which many school-age children reveal difficulties. The literature has shown that fine motor skills, namely fine motor coordination and visuomotor integration, have been more robustly associated with mathematical performance. Studies have shown the importance that instruments have to evaluate these skills, however, the characteristics of these instruments do not fit the reality of kindergartens, they are usually time consuming and expensive and are usually administered by specialists. Thus, the main objective of this study was to identify, select, adapt and validate motor tests to evaluate fine motor skills associated with mathematical skills to allow the kindergarten teachers to apply them simultaneously to the class, with few material resources, in a short period of time and without the need for a lot of training to apply, score and classify. For this purpose, firstly, it was necessary to understand the main difficulties highlighted by kindergarten teachers regarding the use of instruments to evaluate fine motor skills and, thus, elaborate criteria to identify and select the tests that best fit the reality of kindergartens. The test identified, selected and adapted to evaluate fine motor coordination was threading beads from the Movement Evaluation Battery for Children, 2nd Edition. The main adaptation of the test was related to time, that is, instead of counting the time it takes the child to string the total number of cubes on the string, we counted the number of cubes the child strung on the string in a pre-defined time. To evaluate visual–motor integration, the test identified, selected and adapted was the Visual–Motor Integration (6th Edition) test. The main adaptation was related to material resources, that is, it will be possible to apply the test using only one sheet per child instead of the seven suggested by the original test. After the preliminary adaptation of the tests, their validation was performed by means of the degree of reliability (test-retest) and predictive validity. The results indicated that the adapted tests presented an excellent degree of reliability (>0.9) and could therefore be used to administer them simultaneously to the class group. The adapted Visual–Motor Integration test seems to be the most suitable one to be used by kindergarten teachers, in a classroom context, to simultaneously evaluate students’ fine motor skills and associate their results with mathematical skills.

The present work aims to provide more data regarding the comparison and discrimination of speech samples in the field of forensic phonetics. The methodology used was an acoustic method called long-term average spectrum (LTAS), by calculating its spectral decline. The informants were grouped into a total of four female speakers of the same age by close geographical origins. The extracted data were presented qualitatively and quantitatively. In view of the results, the identification of speakers was not successful in all cases. After discussing the results, implications for judicial phonetics and recommendations for future studies were collected.

In 2018 and 2019, in Uruguay, pests and fungi associated with diseases were surveyed in cannabis (Cannabis sativa) crops in the south of the country. Neofusicoccum sp. was isolated from plants with canker symptoms on stems in 60% of the crops, occupying the third place of the most frequent fungi. In order to determine the causal agent of stem and branch canker in cannabis, three isolates of Neofusicoccum sp. were characterized by morphological and molecular analysis, as well as pathogenicity in cannabis plants. Neofusicoccum parvum was identified as the causal agent of stem canker in cannabis plants in Uruguay.

The origin of the stone industry in Belgium goes back as far as the Roman occupation. The marble industry, with the oldest pieces of testimony, goes back to the 16th century. The marble workshops were located in the South of Belgium and even at this period the main customers were abroad: France, Britain and its Empire, in the States… The realization of a sculpture in natural stone, as the marble, asks rigor and method in direct link with the material because each small modification on the marble is permanent. The plaster cast is used as a reference point during the work and allows the transfer from the model in plaster to the marble. One of the most important workshops in Rance, worked for years to answer to the orders of sculptures of customers from the different countries. Most of the plaster casts, in connection with the large past work were discovered (recently) and offered at the museum.

This paper proposes a re-reading of Aristotle’s well-known reference to fear and pity in terms of identification and empathy respectively: fear (intentional and propositional) as a form of experience in which the spectator puts himself in the position of the character and updates his experience (identification) from the outside inwards; pity as moral feeling that contains necessarily the moment of the empathy: intentional and imaginary occupation of the character’s conscience and update of its experience from within outwards. This consideration can be useful to review the critic that Noël Carroll addressed of the strong meaning of the term identification.

In this paper we present a scarcely explored documental type, the filiations made on soldiers, corporals and police guards by the urban and rural commissioners in Buenos Aires during the 1820s. We pursue a double objective: firstly, to give account of the existence, conservation and the main characteristics of this type of written sources; secondly, to analyze the reasons why Police Department agents, installed since 1821 in Buenos Aires, used this written record. In order to do so, and after an introduction, we dedicate an article´s section to describe a series of filiations contained in the Police collection of Sala X of the Nation’s General Archive (Argentina). In the next section, we address its production context, marked by the organization of Buenos Aires as an autonomous entity, and we trace, based on three affiliations and a note presenting them (made by commissioner Juan Bautista Perichon and sent to the Police Department) which we transcribe as an annex, the recruitment problems that police experienced towards the middle of the 1820s. The final reflections serve as a bridge to open possibilities and future exploration paths.

The lack of consensus on how to identify vulnerable spaces is total. From the definitions, to the variables used and the methodology, each author determines those that he considers appropriate. It is hypothesized that there is no infallible method and that all leave some space unnoticed. To demonstrate it, errors in the identification in a Spanish city are revealed, through field work, analysis of the variables used and comparison between previous results, to end up offering a possible solution.

The aim of this study is to analyse the relationship between identification and loyalty in a public higher education institution in an institutional crisis context. In addition, the differences regarding the possible moderating effect that two of its main stakeholder categories can have on this relationship are studied, which are students and graduates. The information needed to conduct the empirical analysis was obtained from an online survey. Data processing was carried out using the PLS-SEM technique. The results show that in a context of institutional crisis, identification influences university loyalty positively and significantly. However, the existence of certain differences between the two stakeholder categories considered is detected, with the moderating effect being more intense in the group of students than in the group of graduates. It is a useful contribution as it is one of the first studies in which the proposed relationships are analysed in a context of organizational crisis and, in addition, it is concerned with investigating the possible existence of differences in the moderating role played by two fundamental stakeholder categories. This contribution becomes more significant when comparing the moderating effects by using two non-parametric methods (PLS-MGA and permutations), which compared to other techniques have significant advantages to examine the proposed relationship. Important practical implications arise from the results of this work, which can be particularly useful for managers of the type of organisations analysed.

The spectacle was prominent in public displays and mass meetings in midtwentieth-century Russia and Germany as a quest for unity in political culture. In Russia, it was countered by Mikhail M. Bakhtin’s novelistic dialogue, polyphony, heteroglossia, and carnival. In Germany, it appeared in its most grotesque form in Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf, which proclaims Hitler’s quest for German national unity and celebrates his National Socialist mass meetings, which created the appearance of a false unity imposed by force of arms. In the United States, Hitler’s spectacle was critiqued in Kenneth Burke’s review of Mein Kampf and continually challenged throughout his life’s work. Burke’s review critiques Hitler’s strategy of attempting to unite Germany by dividing it from those who opposed him, in particular non-German ethnic groups. Burke was engaged in sociopolitical issues throughout his lifetime, and his work offers theories and principles aimed at diversity in unity in political culture and offered as a counterforce to Hitler’s spectacle of a false unity—a counter-spectacle in the form of identification, dramatism, dialectical and aesthetic transcendence, and a satiric mock portrait of a false unity.

The genus Malassezia comprises lipophilic yeasts, commensals of the skin of humans and animals, responsible for dermatological and systemic infections, particu-larly in preterm infants hospitalized in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) with central venous catheters, broad-spectrum antibiotics and parenteral nutrition rich in lipids. Information about fungemia by this microorganism is limited, however, the majority of invasive infections reported in the literature have been associated with M. furfur and M. pachydermatis. A case of M. sympodialis fungemia is reported in a preterm newborn hospitalized in the NICU of a Colombian hospital with clinical suspicion of neonatal sepsis, broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy and negative routine blood cultures. The isolation was susceptible to fluconazole and voriconazole, and resistant to amphotericin B. There are few reports of fungemia produced by M. sympodialis, but all agree that it is an underestimated yeast in individuals with predisposing factors.

The essay in question considers policies that address ecological issues for the protection of local areas, in the light of the changes introduced in decision-making processes concerning the environment since the emergence of post-normal science. These changes seem to go in the direction of an increased distrust of expert knowledge and political decisions taken in the general interest by the population. In the case considered in the research, that of the local opposition to the Italian Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP), one can also see how two different psycho-social defense mechanisms arise among the population and at a political level with respect to a perceived risk. That of identification, which is linked to adaptation strategies and defined according to the metaphor of the palm. That of idealization, connected to the idea of the exceptionality of one’s own habitat, which I indicate with the pomegranate metaphor.

The aim is to explore and describe the main points that characterize the identity patterns of a group of adolescents in four educational institutions of the state of Mérida, Venezuela. Using qualitative methodological strategies, through observation, focus groups and interviews, it was observed that adolescents were organized under a social, normative and moral structure that was similar to the prison and typical of inmates in the country, expressing the same as a manifestation of their individual and social identity. Thus, adolescents built their social capital based on such social structure, organizing then the interaction between groups and individuals based on violence and bullying. The main conclusion is that this social structure and individual values are assimilated as patterns of identification of adolescents, as a consequence of the institutional disintegration experienced in the country.

The second smallest country in Central America, Belize has a stunning array of natural areas that is only matched by the remarkable diversity of animals that call them home. A small human population and strong conservation ethics have preserved nearly 75 percent of Belize in its natural state. This guide lists some of the rarer and more unusual raptors you might encounter while birding in northern Belize.

Fifty species of native snakes live in Florida, help maintain a balance in the ecosystem, and encourage healthy crops. Many non-native snakes have become established, as well, and some have harmed the ecosystem. This brochure is a guide to identifying the snakes of south Florida and differentiating between non-native and commonly confused native snake species.

This paper discusses the psychodynamic and psychosocial vision in the life course of young vulnerable African immigrants placed in Maison d’enfants à Caractère Social. This settlement provides professional training or further education, training needed to stay in France, in order to have the proper papers. The issue of psychological and social fragmentation in these young people whose developmental process is marked by exile will be questioned in relation to concepts such as Fate and Destiny. The latter will also be questioned in light of the role and value of the work in these young evolving into a new socioeconomic and cultural context that tends to stigmatize. Through verbal and non-verbal data from psychological interviews, a group of speech and observation grids inspired by a questionnaire, we propose an analysis of personal trajectories in terms of process identification. This analysis can already go beyond the individual characteristics and highlight the crucial role embodied work to establish a social identity and out of the timeless state of exile.

Resumen: El presente artículo tiene como objeto analizar la relación entre las poblaciones rurales y el Estado a partir de la aplicación de políticas multiculturales. Se trata de hacer una etnografía del Estado teniendo en cuenta las formas en que son aplicadas e interpretadas las tecnologías gubernamentales. Se presenta como hipótesis que las políticas de reconocimiento producen nuevas formas de invisibilización y desigualdad entre poblaciones principalmente rurales. Las nuevas formas de identificación y de participación social y política, en distintos escenarios, configuran campos de fuerzas y de luchas entre las poblaciones concernidas por las políticas de reconocimiento. Para ilustrar esta hipótesis, se estudia el caso específico de la educación intercultural implementada en una escuela indígena Misak en el municipio de Cajibio, en el departamento de Cauca, Colombia. El objeto de estudio se ha construido sobre la base del análisis de material documental y etnográfico. Resumo: O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a relação entre as populações rurais e o Estado com base na aplicação de políticas multiculturais. Trata-se de fazer uma etnografia do Estado levando em conta as formas pelas quais as tecnologias do governo são aplicadas e interpretadas. Hipotetiza-se que as políticas de reconhecimento produzam novas formas de invisibilidade e desigualdade entre as populações predominantemente rurais. As novas formas de identificação e participação social e política, em diferentes cenários, formam campos de forças e lutas entre as populações envolvidas pelas políticas de reconhecimento. Para ilustrar essa hipótese, estuda-se o caso específico da educação intercultural implementada em uma escola indígena Misak, no município de Cajibio, no departamento de Cauca, Colômbia. O objeto de estudo foi construído com base na análise de material documental e etnográfico. Abstract: The purpose of this article is to analyse the relationship between populations and the State through the implementation of multicultural policies. It is a question of making an ethnography of the State based on the way in which governmental technologies are applied and interpreted. The hypothesis is presented that recognition policies produce new forms of invisibility and inequality among mainly rural populations. The new forms of recognition and social and political participation, in different scenarios, shape fields of tension and struggles between populations concerned by recognition policies. To illustrate this hypothesis, we study the specific case of intercultural education implemented in a Misak indigenous school in the municipality of Cajibio in the department of Cauca, Colombia. The object of study has been constructed from the analysis of documentary and ethnographic material.

The article deals with the problem of identifying an active professional position of specialists in service sphere. It is found that the active professional position of a person is formed on the basis of active life position, the determining factor of which is the level of claims in the conditions in which its potential develops most effectively. The active life position of a person is his ability to perform the functions of selfanalysis, self-control, self-regulation, self-consciousness. Social activity acts as a personal way of relating yourself to other people, determining your position and thus characterizes social responsibility. Social responsibility as a fundamental principle of identifying the active professional position by specialists of service sphere is noted. It is determined that for the formation of the specialists of the service sector, active professional position acquires the importance of the ability to imitate the experience of others, to transform it creatively, to promote and disseminate both the effective results of the improvements of other specialists and their own innovations. The main directions of the active professional position of service specialists are outlined: social orientation, creativity, social communication, self-improvement. The features of communication activity in the professional position of a specialist in services include: social orientation, accessibility (participation in volunteer activities, grant programs), the ability to “sell themselves in the labor market”, the implementation of professional lifts. The understanding of the word “sell” in the indirect sense as the ability to talk about raising wages, salary; presentation of the value of their own time and professional resources to the employer; the ability to agree on improving the conditions of work comfort. It is noted that the ability to organize and maintain professional communication reveals a constructive professional position of a specialist – one that is formed on the basis of awareness of certain values (activity, effectiveness, respect for others, indifference, pragmatism, and the like). The value attitude to professional communication is a component of the value-semantic sphere of personality that positively reflects the system of values of communicative knowledge and defines purposeful activity of students on their mastering and understanding the need of knowledge of oneself as a communicative personality. The forms of active professional position manifestation by the service sector specialists are highlighted: professional trainings, professional development, acquisition of additional competencies that are aimed at self-improvement, creativity, social communication, provided that the professionally active specialist takes into account the social situation in society, has a positive attitude to professional retraining according to the needs of industry development.

Azospirillum is a bacterium that produces growth and yields increments due to its capacity of fix atmospheric nitrogen and to produce phytohormones. In Cuba, the 8-INICA strain of Azospirillum sp. has been used successfully in sugarcane biofertilization and others economical crops. The morphological and biochemical characterization of this stain showed similarity with the species A. brasilense. Due to the importance of this strain in the biofertilization works carried out in our country, the aim of this paper was to confirm the identity of this strain through immunoenzymatic and molecular techniques.

The story of Pyramus and Thisbe narrated by Ovid in his Metamorphoses has given rise to a significant number of stories regarding the two lovers in French Medieval Literature. In this essay, we observe the French constellation of the Ovidian story focusing on a treatment that a fundamental element of the universe of Ovidian fiction has shown: its oscillation between identifying and differentiating the two lovers. In the French medieval versions, it may be observed a marked trend to individualize the feminine character and to give him more relief; although this does not always happen in such a way. Actually, a similar tension is observed in the moral and allegorical interpretations. Therefore, each author has extended the constellation of Pyramus and Thisbe in their own way, developing a universe of fiction stressed by the identification and individualization.

How teachers identify and judge school bullying may affect their willingness to intervene in bullying situations and influence their strategies for doing so. This study aimed to investigate whether there were significant differences in teachers’ identification of bullying incidents according to background variables (gender, teaching experience, and education level). The participants of this study were 150 primary school and middle school teachers in Taiwan, A 24-item Recognition of Bullying Incidents Questionnaire (RBIQ) was used in this study to explore whether teachers can identify physical, verbal, and relational scenarios as bullying or non-bullying incidents. A mixed-model two way ANOVA was used to analyze this data. Results revealed that teachers’ teaching experiences significantly interacted with behavioral types, and teachers’ education levels also significantly interacted with behavioral types. In addition, no gender differences in the identification of bullying were observed. Overall, teachers were more likely to identify physical bullying incidents than relational ones. The results of this study suggest that teachers should participate in training to help them identify bullying incidents, particularly when these involve relational bullying.

Background. Tomato is an important crop in Mexico, due mainly to its economic profitability. Objective. The objective of the research was to identify the agent associated with early blight in tomato at Morelos. Methodology. Samples of diseased plants were taken from a greenhouse at Jantetelco country of the Morelos state and taken to the laboratory. Later, 1 cm cuts of diseased and healthy tissue were made which disinfected with 3% sodium hypochlorite for 1 min and washed three times with sterile distilled water for 1 min. Later, four leaf cuts in were put in Petri dishes with PDA culture medium (Bioxon) kept at 25 °C ± 2 °C for 168 h, the pathogen purification was done by monoconidial cultures and pathogen identifying by morphocultural criteria and molecularly. Results. The agent associated with early blight was Alternaria alternata. Implications. Our result reveals the opportunity to improve the control of this pathogen. Conclusion. Although A. alternata to infect the fruit peduncle causing abortion, in this research the pathogen was found also in leaves.

The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique was used to identify 3 species in the genus Opisthonema (Opisthonema bulleri, Opisthonema medirastre, and Opisthonema libertate) in the southern Gulf of California. Two specific primer pairs were designed to amplify the COI mitochondrial gene and 3 restriction enzymes (HpaII, RsaI, and AvaII) were selected to compare the RFLP patterns among the species. Different polymorphism levels were detected among samples. Easily analyzed specific restriction profiles were created, which differentiated unequivocally among the 3 target species. The approach undertaken here using PCR-RFLP is relatively cheap, fast, and robust, providing a useful technique for the identification of species in the genus Opisthonema.

European foulbrood is a bacterial disease that affects Western honey bee larvae. It is a concern to beekeepers everywhere, though it is less serious than American foulbrood because it does not form spores, which means that it can be treated. This 7-page fact sheet written by Catherine M. Mueller, Cameron J. Jack, Ashley N. Mortensen, and Jamie Ellis and published by the UF/IFAS Entomology and Nematology Department describes the disease and explains how to identify it to help beekeepers manage their colonies effectively and prevent the spread of both American and European foulbrood. https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/in1272

A key is presented to seven genera and fifteen species of hornworts recorded from Colombia. Three species found in Ecuador but not yet in Colombia (Dendroceros crispatus, Phaeomegaceros squamuligerus, and Phaeoceros tenuis) are also included in the key.

O estudo da variação e da(s) norma(s) em Sociolinguística pode vincular-se a questões morais. Os insultos (geralmente usados para ofender, humilhar e molestar) fazem parte do que se considera linguagem proibida, do campo moral das palavras. Partindo disso e da análise das edições impressas da revista de quadrinhos MAD publicadas no Brasil em 2014 e 2015, este trabalho pretende mostrar outras funções linguísticas do insulto, variante estilística presente nesse periódico. O arcabouço teórico que fundamenta o estudo advém da Sociolinguística Interacional difundida no Brasil por Preti (1983, 1984, 2004) e dos pressupostos teóricos sobre estilo sociolinguístico propostos por Coupland (1985, 2001). Observa-se que as expressões insultuosas usadas nas interações dos textos da MAD funcionam tanto como um código (verbal e não verbal) de identificação de um grupo quanto um recurso de produção de humor.

The grammatical categories of the imperative and the vocative are intrinsically deictic forms. They tend to differentiate themselves by specific desinence and by their syntactic position (main propositions and incidental constructions) from other similar categories. The partially differentiation has created an interference area in which other impersonal modes (infinitive, participle and supine) can occupy the predictive position of the imperative, and some forms of vocative may have syntactic functions.Les catégories grammaticales de l’impératif et du vocatif sont des formes intrinsèquement déictiques. Elles tendent à se différencier par des désinences spécifiques et par leur positionnement syntaxique (des propositions principales et des constructions incidentes) d’autres catégories similaires. La distinction partielle a créé une zone d’interférence dans laquelle autres modes impersonnels (l’infinitif, le participe et le supin) peuvent occuper la position prédicative de l’impératif et certaines formes de vocatif peuvent avoir des fonctions syntaxiques.

Les animaux anthropomorphes peuplent la littérature de jeunesse. L’enjeu de ce travail est de mettre en évidence des apports et impacts de ces héros à poils, plumes et écailles auprès d’un jeune lectorat. Selon son âge, celui-ci sera plus ou moins attiré par un certain type d’animal : l’animal compagnon du héros humain, l’animal-héros identificatoire ou l’animal-guide et médiateur susceptible d’aider et d’accompagner l’enfant-lecteur dans sa découverte du monde.

Sympathy is the main affective bond that the viewer establishes with the fictional characters, being a necessary prerequisite for the elicitation of other emotions. Given its importance, the objective of this article is to detail the different factors involved in its constitution, in an attempt to delve into its understanding. To do it, we turn to different works framed in the field of social psychology and cognitive film theory, we describe some textual resources that audiovisual narratives use to exploit each particular factor, and we reflect on the effects that each of them has on sympathy and the other factors involved.

The debacle of East-European socialism provided some changes in the identification and subjective processes in relation to the social structure in Cuba, which can be observed by the reflexive distancing of the subjects from the various ideological objects. Cinema, as a cultural mechanism, informs us of this reality and introduces its director, his characters and the spectators into the dialectic representation-reception, in which subjective vision and objective reality are articulated. To show it, I analyze the film Conducta 2014 that combines the critical tradition of revolutionary cinema with some premises of socialist reality and its recent exhaustion. The reception of this film by the spectators informs that the parallax is open in contemporary societies by the displacements, identifications and the way of constitution of the subjects shown on the screen.

Juan de Flores’ Grimalte y Gradissa is a story in which the dramatic tension is sustained by desire and by the active drive to bring that desire into fruition. Flores readapts Boccaccio’s protagonists, introducing them into his own diegetic world to attempt an intertextual reconciliation. As the drama unfolds, Fiometa’s desire for Pánfilo and Pánfilo’s “desire” for Fiometa are mimicked by Flores’ eponymous characters. Gradissa sends Grimalte to attempt their reunion. Like Gradissa had fallen in love with Pánfilo in absentia, Grimalte falls for Fiometa. This study argues that Gradissa sends her courtier to Italy because she is secretly in love with Pánfilo. Grimalte accepts her command in order to earn Gradissa’s favor. In the process Grimalte falls in love with Fiometa.

InterpellatIonor autonomy. thecaseof nIkkeI IdentItyInthe argentInean-Japanese communIty. The concept of na-tion related to the migratory predicament is analyzed. In a theoretical point of view, an ideological interpellation figure is recovered, raising two possible deflections: identification and the concerning interpellations. In the empirical research, Nikkei identity is studied as an his-torical phenomenon of Japanese migration to Argentina. Thus, the question about the way in which national interpellations on immigrants and their descendants operate is raised. Finally, a debate on the way in which communitarian institutionality at an intermediate level can create conditions of autonomy

Objective: To describe sociodemographic and diagnostic characteristics of indigenous patients (identified by determining whether they speak an indigenous language) hospitalised between January 2014 and January 2015 at the Hospital General de Mexico, and to analyse these characteristics using a vulnerability classification. Materials and methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study of hospital data and a bivariate analysis using vulnerability as a dependent variable and those variables described in the socioeconomic study as independent variables. Results: Of 47,733 patients hospitalised, 816 (1.7%) were speakers of indigenous languages, with Náhuatl being the most common indigenous language (31.3%); 98.6% did not have health insurance coverage and 45.9% were classified as vulnerable patients; 62% did not receive an income. 77% were from Oaxaca, State of Mexico, Veracruz, Puebla and Hidalgo; however, 59.1% were living in Mexico City and the State of Mexico. The most frequent diagnoses were neoplasms (21.4%), followed by diseases of the digestive system (16.3%). 53% reported that they had been dealing with their illness for more than 6 months. The household and family income variables were strongly linked to vulnerability. Conclusions: This study demonstrates the precarious living conditions of hospitalised indigenous peoples and the difficulties they face in fighting diseases given their socioeconomic conditions. Recommendations are made to address the way the indigenous peoples are identified in the hospital, on recognising them as a vulnerable population, as well as the need for records of sociodemographic and health information regarding this population in hospital settings, so that it is reliable and comparable and to serve as a strong case for the implementation of local actions which meet national and international standards.

With the transition from the paradigm of the Industrial Age to the Knowledge Age,management of intangible assets has become essential for the success and survival oforganizations. In this sense, in order to improve the management of the knowledge producedat the Federal Institute of Santa Catarina campus Araranguá, this work is mainly focused onidentifying which knowledge management practices exist in this institution. Thus, with theresults expected that it has a clearer view of the procedures for creating, developing, storingand sharing your knowledge. For it was made an exploratory research where by means of aquestionnaire, containing eighteen knowledge management practices, we identified whichexist in the organization from the point of view of their managers. With the results it wasconcluded that the institution makes use of all the identified practices, even if informally,especially Patent and Trademark Management. This highlights the concern of the campuswith the management of their knowledge, the potential of which adds value to their servicesenhancing regional development and ensuring the fulfillment of its mission.

ABSTRACT Lawn with grass classified as Axonopus compressus is very common in Brazil Southern region, where it normally presents an adequate low temperature tolerance and a high diversity of weed infestation. This work has aimed to conduct a phytosociological survey of weeds in lawn consisting of Axonopus compressus from CEDETEG/UNICENTRO University campus located in the Brazilian municipality of Guarapuava, in the state of Paraná, in different periods of 2013. One hundred eighty 0.50 x 0.50 m samples were collected in four months, from which parameters frequency, density, abundance, relative frequency, relative density, relative abundance and importance value index were calculated. In general, 24, 7, 17 and 14 weed species were identified, distributed in 23, 3, 8 and 6 families, respectively, in April, June, October and December. The largest number of weed species was identified in Asteraceae, Fabaceae and Cyperaceae families. The ones classified as the most important and with occurrence over all periods of year were Trifolium repens (Fabaceae), Soliva pterosperma (Asteraceae) and Oxalis corniculata (Oxalidaceae).

The bryophytes play a key role in the peat bogs. However, knowledge of this group is scarce in southern South America. We present an identification key for peat moss from the Isla Grande de Chiloé (Chile). The key is separated for each group with similar characters.

This paper presents a clarification model in the fuzzy sense based on the Membership Inverse Function (MIF), in Control Theory. It is considered as an identification and requires bounded input and output signals. The sign function and its derivative is regarded as a Gaussian function into the mathematical Membership description. Specifically, the sign function considers the difference between the absolute state variable values and its centroid, rather than remaining in the triangle inequality. Therefore, the theoretical result applied in Matlab® using the reference values as an identification process in an Auto Regressive Moving Average (ARMA) (1, 1) model describes the performance. The clarification converging in almost all points of the desired signal depends on the different initial conditions. The convergence obtained by the functional error built by the second probability moment was also used and applied in the same software giving an illustrative description.

A narrativa de marca ajuda a formar e a mudar atitudes e crenças, se tornando um importante processo de persuasão. Por ser um tema pouco explorado, o objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a narrativa criada por um terceiro na internet e a sua influência na imagem da marca na qual é feita alusão. São explorados os processos de persuasão narrativa por meio dos mecanismos transportation (imersão dentro de um texto ou estória) e identification (conexão da audiência com o personagem da narrativa). Foram realizadas entrevistas em profundidade, em que os pesquisados assistiram a dois vídeos. A narrativa do primeiro filme é uma paródia e foi criada de modo independente, ao passo que a do segundo é uma resposta da marca. Os resultados encontrados enfatizam a ocorrência do processo de “imersão” na estória e a identificação com os personagens, o que gera um impacto direto na imagem da marca, nem sempre de modo positivo.

A key is presented to 130 liverwort genera recorded from Colombia. Some genera found in neighboring countries, but not yet in Colombia, are also included in the key

The mineralogical and chemical characteristics, based on X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy, of a kaolin known as DD3, from eastern Algeria were examined in the present study. The results showed that kaolin DD3 has an alumina content of 39%. The SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratio of 2.14 is close to that of a pure halloysite. The hematite concentration is relatively large and the flux oxides ratios remain as acceptable impurities. Microscopic observations showed a predominant tubular halloysite phase, flattened hexagonal platelets corresponding to the presence of kaolinite and its polymorphs (nacrite, dickite), and hydrated alumina. The SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratio and tubular DD3 suggest possible uses in technical ceramics and nanotechnology applications. Analysis by XRD revealed the presence of many phases. Thermal treatment at 450 °C and chemical treatment with HCl confirmed the presence of halloysite. The inclusion in the clay of organic molecules (dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), DMF, and diluted glycerol) showed that the DMSO led to expansion of the inter-planar distance. The intercalation by DMSO molecules resulted in a shift of the basal peak from 10 to 11.02 Å and partial displacement of the peak from 3.35 to 3.65 Å. These two peaks are characteristic of halloysite. The presence of residual nacrite was also confirmed by the shift of the peak observed at 3.35 Å. A full analysis of the XRD patterns using the Match software, based on these results, showed that the DD3 clay consists of >60% halloysite.

L’article étudie deux spectacles réalisés par la metteuse en scène britannique Katie Mitchell à la Schaubühne de Berlin – Fraulein Julie (2010), en collaboration avec le vidéaste Leo Warner, et Die Gelbe Tapete (2013) – qui, comme dans un diptyque, explorent la vie intime de deux femmes souffrantes grâce à un dispositif ciné-théâtral complexe au fonctionnement spécifique. La simultanéité de deux régimes de présence sur scène, le jeu et le tournage, ainsi que de l’action scénique et du film, produit une tension permanente entre effets contradictoires – identification/distanciation, continuité/discontinuité, éclatement/concentration – tant sur les acteurs que sur les spectateurs, en créant une interface élastique qui enveloppe la scène et la salle et permet une immersion théâtrale dans la subjectivité.

Nowadays, many indigenous people living in the Vancouver area, on Central Coast Salish territories, can claim to have a special relationship with a supernatural entity, often a non-human animal species, a vegetal species, or an element of the landscape. The purpose of this article is to highlight the different modalities of this identification with a protective non-human being, and it takes as its starting point hesitations, difficulties, and inaccuracies that occur when one tries to define such identification. By doing so, we outline a real « totemic complex », i.e. a floating structure allowing several possible relationships with a non-human. This paper therefore proposes to reconsider the question of totemism among the Coast Salish people, and to show how it can be deepened if totemism is apprehended as a relational and flexible « complex », involving several possible relational and consistent combinations with a supernatural being.
