The transition to the new Late Antiquity reality was materially reflected in various transformations in the urban elements: from the city walls to the street map, including domestic spaces and necropolises. This document provides a map that locates these urban mutations in different areas of the city of Ecija (Seville) that have not been studied in depth. This is accompanied by a general analysis of the late-antique urban phenomenon, in order to culminate with the interpretation and comparison of both aspects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes three path planning techniques to solve a ball-maze system with a two-degree-offreedom platform. The system's objective focuses on the ball traveling a path from an initial point to a final point (defined by the user) in the maze. The RRT algorithms (Rapidly Exploring Random Trees), PRM (Probabilistic Roadmap), and Voronoi diagrams were implemented using the A* search algorithm. The system architecture consists of four subsystems called mechanical, vision, planning, and control. The main contribution of this work is the evaluation of the algorithms on a physical system and a complete results analysis (graphical and analytical). The experimental tests were performed based on analyzing four different maze configurations, the run time, and path length metrics. In this context, 20 algorithm executions were developed for each configuration, then the meantime and mean length and their 95% confidence intervals were determined. The main results show that the RRT algorithm presents a more significant variation in its data, the longest path length, and the best performance in terms of run time. Moreover, the PRM algorithm generates the path with the shortest length but has the worst performance concerning run time. Finally, the Voronoi diagrams' technique takes less time to execute, has less variation in its data, and presents the smoothest and equidistant path between the maze walls. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Latin America remains on the margins of recent academic debates on how populism influences the foreign policy of states. In order to advance the discussion on the subject, we propose the hybridization of the Latin American experience with international references on the subject. The result of this process is a road map for studying populist foreign policy from Latin America, comprising four axes of analysis: (a) the reproduction of the us/them dichotomy in global politics, associated with different ideologies, (b) the use of critical discourses towards the world scenario, (c) the centralization of foreign policy decision-making around the leader, and (d) the conditioning factors imposed by the position of Latin American countries in the world system as a fundamental restriction to the aspirations for change of populist foreign policies.

The need for a world with low carbon emissions has added new challenges in long-term planning. The construction of this roadmap is to provide a vision of how a future could happen in which there is a national biojet market. Prepared from the national perspective of the Ministry of Energy plus technological intelligence, to construct a map from consciousness and science, and what is rarely to do. A revision is projected and red dots are located where a new analysis of data to generate emerging initiatives and propose new environments to focus on different ideas and technologies that will eventually allow the development / implementation of a national bioenergy market.

A roadmap guideline that leads cultural institutions and organizations towards the path of sustainability, looking for an intermediate path between the proposals of those in favor of Degrowth and those who are committed to a New Green Deal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The document titled "COM (2011) 144 final. Brussels, March 28, 2011 White Paper: Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area: Towards a competitive and sustainable transport policy" presents a roadmap to achieve a competitive and sustainable transport system in Europe. It emphasizes the need to break the dependence on oil in the transport sector, without sacrificing efficiency or mobility. Ten objectives are established to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and optimize the performance of multimodal logistics chains. The importance of developing adequate infrastructure and using new technologies is also mentioned. The document includes a list of initiatives related to efficient mobility, technology and behavior, infrastructure and intelligent financing, and the external dimension. [Extracted from the article]

From mid-1930s, alongside the dynamic scenario of Buenos Aires' metropolitan expansion, there is a notorious increase in street map publication, with great diversity in production modes and target users. Briefly, this article aims to study the case of Filcar Guide's 1955 suburban map collection. Its peculiar features, production and circulation modes and target users will be discussed. Preliminary results show that its novelty resided in its coverage of a wide Greater Buenos Aires area, in individual sheets presenting road information on a 1:20.000 to 1:40.000 scale, including street toponyms, next to a side index and advertisements. On the other hand, with the aid of restitution methodology, it was possible to show that the Guide does not map out the entirety of the metropolitan area: instead, some populated areas are unsurveyed.

Two projects that have allowed to evolve the geographic information management in the Government of Uruguay substantially are presented. Both projects are based on the gvSIG Suite technologies, a catalog of open source software solutions where gvSIG Online is included, a product aimed at the Spatial Data Infrastructures implementation. Both projects, in turn, have allowed gvSIG Online to be evolved, adding a set of new functionalities and tools. The first of these projects is the implementation of the Uruguay Spatial Data Infrastructure, highlighting the volume of data that it is composed of and the technological improvements developed to meet the project requirements. The second one is the project for the implementation of a new Central Address System in the country, also based on gvSIG Online that has made it possible to implement a system for the maintenance of street maps by the municipalities (local administrations), among other tools, always within the concept of Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI).

This paper defends that, in his general theory of interpretation, Emilio Betti builds on an ontological structure of human understanding that is inadequate. Notably, it justifies that, while Betti acknowledges specific existential structures of the human being (such as historicity), his desire for objectivity in interpretation causes him to employ an epistemological subject-object dichotomy typical of the scientistic positivism he tried to overcome with his work. The road map to try to justify the above starts by exploring Betti's structure of knowledge, then reviews what he tells us about representative forms and canons of interpretation, and finally specifies the problems and insufficiencies of this Italian jurist's thinking.

Establishing research and innovation priorities is a permanent concern in the governance of science and technology, because it permeates the definition of the objects of study, the allocation of resources by the State and the social appropriation of results. This article analyzes the State Road maps for Innovation in Mexico, a program promoted by the Mexican government to define innovation priorities at the state level. Analytically, the study is based on the governance modes typology by Hagendijk & Irwin (2006) with the purpose of examining the extent to which this instrument shows progress in democratizing the governance of science in the country. Methodologically, the information of the road maps was systematized and semi-structured interviews with key actors were conducted. It is concluded that the road maps coincide with the modes of market-based and discretionary-based governance since the priority issues represent the interests of the country's business and governing elite. It is hypothesized that in the road maps there are several elements that point the orientation of science towards a market logic aligned with the neo-extractivism, which is expanding in the Latin American region.
