Full textAbstract:
The twentieth excavation season of the Archaeological Expedition to Wad Ben Naga primarily focused on the continued excavations of the so-called Isis Temple (WBN 300). The excavation focused on the area in the rear of the temple explored by the Royal Prussian Expedition in 1844. Altogether ten rooms were revealed which allowed the assessment of the whole complex inner disposition of the temple. During the excavation, various pieces of the original cultic equipment were recovered, including pieces of Meroitic statuary and a new lion altar (Altar D). The original locations of the so-called Altars A, B, and C, discovered by the Royal Prussian Expedition, were identified. Outside the so-called Isis Temple, the work focused on uncovering of the Stone Building (WBN 1100) identified next to structure WBN 250.

Full textAbstract:
This article offers a stylistic analysis of the Marian altar from the church of the Redeemer and All Saints in Dobre Miasto in the voivodship of Warmia and Masuria. The altar was set up in 1426 as an altar for morning mass. It remains incomplete to this day: several Gothic figures were replaced by later pieces of sculpture, and the altar was provenance is also questionable of the centrally located sculpture of Mary and Child.
The literature up to now has pointed out stylistic analogies with the altar in Pörschken (Nowo‑Moskowskoje), at present in the collection of the Castle Museum in Malbork, and with the altar from Sokolica (Falkenau), which is at present in the collection Museum of the Archdiocese of Warmia in Olsztyn. Stylistic analysis makes it possible to establish that the closest analogy to the Dobre Miasto altar is the altar from Pörschken, while the somewhat later retable from Sokolica has many features in common with the altar from Rauma (Finland), which was a Prussian export.
It is, however, an open question as to the location of the Prussian provincial woodcarving workshop that probably produced the altars in Dobre Miasto and Pörschken, drawing on the at that time rather old‑fashioned tradition of figures of the Madonna on lions. The literaturę suggests Malbork or Gdańsk, but because of stylistic similarities to the Elbląg Apostolic College and the links of the Elbląg Rector Mikołaj Wulsack with Dobre Miasto, Elbląg, too, must be considered.

The present study explores the relationship between the new frontiers of architectural survey and architectural restoration. The result is a project for the reassembly of the Altar of the Holy Heart of Mary in the Cathedral of Gerace, in the province of Reggio Calabria. It was dismantled in the last century with the purpose to restore the “solemn and sober aspect” of the church during the medieval age. The idea was born in the sphere of a multidisciplinary didactic experience, which involved history, conservation, digital modelling, design and enhancement of cultural heritage. The process, from analyses to project, followed four steps: realization of a systematic photogrammetrical survey of each architectural element of the 18th century altars of the cathedral, which were dismantled in the last century, with high precision photomodelling techniques; early identification of the single objects, positioning structured QR-CODE with metadata and short description directly in the shooting phase; pre-cataloguing phase, implemented by the compilation of single cards regarding each piece, using a redrafted version of the ICCD OA card (artwork 3.00 version); a proposal for the reassembly of the altar of the Holy Heart of Mary. The reassembly is conceived as an alternative to the reconstruction of the altar “as it was”, using a steel structure that is partially visible, which was studied to support and “exhibit” the marble pieces. The availability of numerical models for each piece facilitated, on one side, weight distribution analysis and, consequently, correct dimensioning of the support structure and, on the other side, interactive simulation processes for design optimisation and <i>aesthetic</i> evaluation.

In this study the authors would like to extend throne notion with examples from religious life of Neolithic and Copper Age communities. Throne with its symbols is present starting with the earliest Neolithic horizons of Anatolia until center of Europe, in 7-5 millennia. We have analyzed some important discoveries related with monumental pieces from sanctuaries, as well as those discovered in community altar or domestic sanctuaries. These monumental pieces from sanctuaries reflect the place of the divinity or her representation in the sanctuary and their role in religious ceremonies. For many of the presented pieces we offer new hypothesis and opinions regarding their functionality. We also refer to some idols types that are sitting on thrones representing divinities or priestess that represent the image of the divinity.

Full textAbstract:
Based on the book, the full title of which is Registro delle Administrationi de Signori Governatori di San Gerolimo della Nation Oltramarinna in Dalmatia et Albania, this paper discusses the altar of St Jerome in the church of St Simeon at Zadar. It is already known that the altar was commissioned and maintained by the confraternity of Croatian and Albanian soldiers (Croatti a cavallo and Soldati Albanesi) founded in 1675 at Zadar, who were in the service of the Venetian Republic. New archival research has established that on 26 September 1694 the confraternity authorized the expense of 200 silver ducats intended for two Venetian carvers, the Bettamelli brothers, as a down payment for the making of the altar. The work on the altar began in April 1696 and several local master craftsmen took part in it: Zanotti, Rodo and Radičić, as well as smith Rosini. Since the Bettameli brothers, the makers of the altar of St Jerome, are not mentioned in the records by their first names, it should be noted that an altar-maker of the name of Alberto Bettamelli from Venice was responsible for the construction of the high altar and its tabernacle in the cathedral of St Maurus at Maniago (Friuli), as we learn from a contract made in 1693. Alberto Bettamelli also made the tabernacle in the parish church at Marsure (Aviano, Friuli). Bortolo Betamelli (Bettamelli), a tagliapietra, is mentioned between 1646 and 1682 in the ledgers containing contracts of apprenticeship to various sculptors, stone-cutters and carvers kept by the Giustizia Vecchia, a magistracy which supervised the activities of Venetian guilds. Two tabernacles have been attributed to the Bettamelli workshop: one on the high altar of the parish church at Maniago Libero (Maniago, Friuli) of 1694, and one in the parish church at Provesano (Friuli). Based on the records about the construction of the altar of St Jerome, it can be suggested that the coat of arms (composed of a cartouche with a shield emblazoned with a left-facing rampant lion and the initials C.C.S.F. above) depicted on the east pillar of the altar base, previously linked to the members of the Civran family, refers to Šimun Fanfogna (Zadar, 7 April 1663 - Lendinara, 6 March 1707), a Zadar nobleman and distinguished commander in the Venetian army who was the caretaker of the altar. The altar of St Jerome together with the surrounding area inside the church aisle - also called the chapel of St Jerome - represented an isolated unit delineated by a balustraded rail which could be used separately from the rest of the church, on certain occasions and festivities, by the members of the confraternity as well as the representatives of local and regional Venetian government at Zadar, and ecclesiastical and other dignitaries. Numerous works on the decoration of the altar and chapel of St Jerome were carried out throughout the whole of the eighteenth century and large numbers of local craftsmen skilled in different arts were engaged in them. Over a number of years, the Registro mentions the builders Antonio Piovesana (1742) and Antonio Bernardini (1789), the altar-maker Girolamo Picco (1756), the marangon Domenico Tomaselli (1743), blacksmith Antonelli (1744) and the goldsmiths Zorzi Cullisich (1738), Nicolò Giurovich (1752) and Giuseppe (Josip) Rado (1755). A number of other interesting pieces of information concerning the decoration of the altar and the activity of the confraternity of St Jerome is also presented.

Abstract The field of aniconism has begun to receive more attention within the past 20 years. In Travis Mettinger’s No Graven Image? Israelite Aniconism in Its Ancient Near Eastern Context (1995), he subdivided the field into two distinct categories: material aniconism and empty space aniconism. The former typically refers to stelai, unhewn pieces of wood etc., whereas the latter may refer to empty thrones, a saddled horse without a rider, or the Holy of Holies in the Temple in Jerusalem. In short, empty space aniconism refers to a space where the god is perceived to be positioned. This paper seeks to answer the question: how useful are these categories? To answer it, the altar is offered as one possible type of aniconism. This was first proposed by Milette Gaifman in her 2005 dissertation, refined and expanded in Aniconism in Greek Antiquity (2012), where she makes the case that some altars can be considered as examples of material aniconism. This paper starts from the opposite premise: that altars can be considered forms of empty space aniconism. After demonstrating many instances where altars do fit the criteria of empty space aniconism, examples that might fit Gaifman’s premise are addressed as well. This paper ultimately arrives at the conclusion that altars fall into both categories, thereby showing that these categories are insufficient. Altars, like so many other forms of aniconism, are merely a means to denote divine presence.

AbstractThe Altar of the Antwerp Coopers' Guild and Quinten Massy In 1938 two distinguished scholars, Max J. Friedländer and Floris Prims, one a reknowned connoisseur of Early Netherlandish painting and the other an indefatigable digger in the Antwerp archives, published articles that might well have bearing on the same picture, yet have never been connected either then or later. From the evidence collected by Prims (notes 2 to 7) it appears that the Antwerp coopers, after having separated from the joiners with whom they had shared a guild until 1497, obtained an altar of their own in Our Lady's church. A picture standing on this altar is mentioned first in 1655. It is described as representing The 'Afdoening' of Our Lord from the Cross with two doors (the term 'afdoening' being used to describe a Deposition as well as a Lamentation). An inventory of 1660 gives the same description with the addition 'made by Quinten Massys'. The altar survived until about 1680, when a new marble altar with sculpture and paintings was ordered; this was completed by 1684 and the old altar-piece was hung above the entrance door of the guild room without the doors being mentioned. It was sold in 1697 when the guild had run into financial trouble. Half a century later the painter Jacob de Wit still knew of it and described it as showing 'figures smaller than life, Christ taken from the Cross with Our Lady, St Mary Magdalen and others, (....) by Quinten Massys, the second painting he did, not quite as good as the one in the Cirumcision chapel [originally on the altar of the joiners; fig. 2]; it was sold but is still in the town' (note 3,). Friedländer, for his part, concluded that the Lamentation which was to be purchased by the National Gallery of Canada in 1949 'cannot be regarded as anything but an early work by Quentin' (note I). This attribution, which had earlier been refuted by Baldass, was then disputed by Silver (note II). This author considered the Ottawa picture a somewhat later pastiche after a lost Lamentation in Massys' mature style of which a fragment in Berlin, showing s'Lamentation in Ottawa a weeping woman (wrongly called Mary Magdalen), resembles one of the mourning women in the Ottawa Lamention (fig. 7). This theory is however contradicted by the picture's quality and seems to be prompted by a mistaken reconstruction of Massys' early development (see below). Similarities between the Lamentation and other early works that can be ascribed tot Massys (figs 3 and 17) are obvious though the course of his development prior to the great altar-pieces of 1507-1511remains in many respects unclear. When attempting to bring some light to the chronology of Massys' works from about 1491 (when he left Louvain for Antwerp at the age of 25) to 1507, one may take into account three medallions that have been attributed to him, two of them being dated 1491 and one 1495 (notes 18-24). They may be loosely associated with features that recurr in the Lamentation. An Italian-style medal of William Schevez, archbishop of St. Andrews, who stayed for a few months at Louvain in 1491, raises the question of whether the same sitter may be recognised in a painted portrait, which would then be Quinten's earliest datable picture (figs 8 and 9). The portrait of the artist himself, dated 1495 (fig 10), was in great esteem and provided the prototype for a print by Jheronimus Wierix (published by Lampsonius in 1572), where the bust was extended to a half-figure; it was also copied in an oval painting that was reproduced in a work by Frans Francken II (figs. I and IIa) and it was probably that very painting which was owned by the Antwerp guild of St. Luke and was considerd an original self-portrait when it was confiscated by the French in 1794 (and subsequently disappeared). It seems likely that the medallion's date of 1495 provides a terminus post quem for the Ottawa Lamentation. A more precise date may be inferred from the obvious borrowings from the Lamentation found in a large triptych in Lisbon (figs 13 and 14). This work may be attributed to one 'Eduwart Portuga

Introduction. The Museum of Kalmyk Scientific Center (RAS) houses quite a number of sculptural and pictorial images associated with the tradition of Je Tsongkhapa (1357–1419; Tibetan Buddhist scholar to have founded the Gelug that gained widest distribution among Mongolic peoples) and delivered by different donators or from as various places. Goals. The articles analyzes several pieces of Buddhist art contained in the Museum’s collections and somewhat tied to the historical personality. Results. The analysis of one ‘altar group’ compiled from three images — those of Tsongkhapa and his two disciples — shows that the tradition of Mongolia’s Dorbets that share common ancestry with contemporary Kalmyks depicts the imagery with greater detail and semantics as compared to similar survived Kalmyk samples. However, the insight into the Kalmyk tradition attests to that the people were widely worshipping the Buddhist Teacher — founder of the Gelug.

Full textAbstract:
From 1981 to 2002, in various lectures and writings, I presented my suggestion about the “Roman” conception of the Ludovisi Suicidal Gaul, without eliciting positive responses. What has prompted me to re-open this issue after the passing of so many years? Perhaps the catalyst was a major exhibition — Pergamon and the Hellenistic Kingdoms of the Ancient World — held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York from April 18 to July 17, 2016, together with its impressive catalogue. There, an essay by M. Papini reviewed present knowledge about the victory dedications of the Attalids and the stone bases for them erected at Pergamon within the precinct of Athena Nikephoros. Although admitting that certainty was impossible and that serious difficulties existed about previously attempted reconstructions, he reproduced two drawings that showed the Ludovisi Gaul atop the large cylindrical monument as well as on the long rectangular pedestal “leaving aside [other] improbable attempts … and even more the interpretation of the marble pieces as Roman works evoking Pergamon ‘in the grand manner’.” The Ludovisi Gaul was not part of the New York exhibition. Its companion piece, the Dying Gaul collapsing on a broken trumpet, did receive a catalogue entry (by E. Polito) that reiterated the difficulty of visualizing the original placement. Yet these two Gauls (the “Trumpeter” and the Ludovisi Gaul) have joined the sculptures from the Pergamon Great Altar as virtual touchstones for our understanding of Pergamene style even though they may not be “Greek” at all, let alone Pergamene.

Full textAbstract:
Le projet de recherche présenté ici est le résultat d'un recensement territorial, accompagné d’une action d'identification et de reconnaissance du patrimoine mobilier des XVe et XVIe siècles de la Corse, que j’ai entrepris pour le compte de la Direction du Patrimoine de la Collectivité de Corse à partir de 2004. La présente dissertation présente donc pour la première fois un inventaire analytique des retables en bois de la période chronologique considérée, dans lequel les œuvres picturales sont associées à leurs possibles matrices culturelles sur la base des valeurs formelles et stylistiques. En 1453, la République de Gênes céda l'île au Banco di S. Giorgio, une institution puissante, qui la conserva au moins jusqu'en 1562. Cependant, l'île, qui était génoise d'un point de vue politico-administratif, ne l'était pas exclusivement d'un point de vue culturel et figuratif. D'une manière générale, les artistes locaux semblaient remanier, de manière réductrice et plutôt modeste, les méthodes des maîtres qui opéraient dans la zone nord-ouest de l'Italie (de la Ligurie à l'Oltregiogo, en passant par la Bassa Padana et la région niçoise), créant ainsi leur propre langage, tellement retravaillé dans la simplification qu'il rendait à peine reconnaissables les matrices figuratives du continent. Néanmoins, grâce aux flux commerciaux et aux relations politiques constantes avec la mère patrie, l'île s'est montrée réceptive aux impulsions provenant de l'ensemble du littoral, et dans la même mesure des rives occidentale et orientale, comme l'atteste le retable de Cassano, signé et daté en 1505 par Antonio da Calvi. Mais on observe aussi, le long des voies de circulation transalpines, un retour vers la Corse de produits déjà modernisés, comme le polyptyque de l'Assomption de Canari, attribué à la phase de maturité de l’artiste piémontais Agostino Bombelli (1530 ca.). L'envoi de cette œuvre atteste de la diffusion sur le territoire d'un modèle architectural de type « serlienne » avec un arc de triomphe, basé sur des critères plus modernes, semblable aux polyptyques de Moltifao (1545) et Tox. Il ne manque pas non plus d’exemples suggérant une adhésion au naturalisme lombard, et plus particulièrement au naturalisme liguro-pavesan, comme la Vierge à l'Enfant de Piedicroce. La récupération cruciale du patrimoine figuratif de la Corse est donc le résultat de conjonctures hétérogènes, exprimées par les maîtres autochtones qui revisitaient les multiples éléments stylistiques selon leurs propres moyens, de sorte que l'on peut peut-être enfin parler d'une « école de peinture corse »The research project carried out here is the result of a territorial census connected with an action of identification and recognition of the movable heritage of the XV-XVI century in Corsica, which I commenced on behalf of the Directorate of the Heritage of the Collectivité de Corse, back in 2004. This discussion therefore presents for the first time an analytical inventory of the wooden altarpieces of the chronological phase in question, in which, on the basis of formal and stylistic values, the pictorial evidences are linked to their possible cultural matrices of reference. In 1453 the Republic of Genoa transferred the island to the powerful institute of the Bank of Saint George, which possessed it at least until 1562. However, the island, Genoese from a political-administrative point of view, was not Genoese from a cultural-figurative one. In general, it would seem that the local artists refashioned in a reductive and basically modest way the styles of the masters working in the North Western Italian area (from Liguria to the Oltregiogo, to the Po Valley, and to Nice region), creating their own language, so much reworked in its simplification to make hardly recognizable any figurative matrices of the mainland. However, thanks to the commercial flows and the constant political relations with the Motherland, the island proved to be receptive to the impulses coming from the entire coastal arc of Liguria, in equal measure from the two shores of Ponente and Levante, as proved by the retable of Cassano, signed and dated by Antonio da Calvi in 1505. There was also a flow of up-to-date creations along the transalpine traffic routes into Corsica, such as the polyptych of the Assumption of Canari attributed to the mature phase of the Piedmontese Agostino Bombelli (1530 ca.). The sending of this work documents the spread in the territory of a "Palladian window" architectural scheme, with a triumphal arch, based on more modernized criteria, similar to the polyptychs of Moltifato and Tox. There are also cases that suggest adhesion to Lombard naturalism, and more specifically the Ligurian-Pavese one, such as the Madonna and Child of Piedicroce. The critical rediscovery of the figurative heritage of Corsica thus highlights how much this is the product of heterogeneous conjunctures, expressed by native masters who reworked multiple stylistic features according to their own means, so that perhaps we can finally speak of a "Corsican pictorial school"

This thesis is the result of collaboration between the university (UPC) and the company (Fluidra SA) within the framework of the program of industrial doctorates of the agency AGAUR (Agencia de Gestión de Ayudas Universitarias y de Investigación) of the Generalitat de Catalunya. Fluidra is a group of companies that are mainly engaged in the manufacture, development, distribution and marketing of equipment for swimming pool, residential and public. The company operates with more than 20.000 references, manufactured in different factories around the world and marketed in more than 170 countries. For references with low demand and global marketing, the associated unit costs are high, hence the need to innovate in the search for new solutions that optimize production and the supply chain costs. Therefore, the project proposal is the use of additive manufacturing to produce these references.
The main objective of the thesis is to develop a design and manufacturing methodology that allows engineers to transform the way of producing, from conventional processes to digital manufacturing with additive technologies. There are several technological barriers in additive manufacturing, such as technology, material, design and references, which make digital transformation not easy. Therefore, it is necessary to create a method that can overcome technical and economic barriers in order to transform the production process in a satisfactory way. The company objectives are to decrease the economic-accounting depreciation, caused by the time of stock permanence, reduce or eliminate the risk of obsolescence and reduce the time of delivery of spare parts to give a better service of supply to the customer. In conclusion, it is a contribution of a methodology that can be applied to any organization that need to adopt additive manufacturing systems based on plastics. In addition, a progress of the state of the art of the expert systems applied to additive manufacturing has been achieved, which differs from the others for the following reasons: it focuses on the MJF and PA12, provides suggestions for redesign, manufacturing and postprocessing and assesses the technical and economic feasibility of digital transformation. The result of this study has been finished with the identification of the several technological and material limitations that do not allow the massive introduction of additive manufacturing in the factories.La presente tesis es el fruto de la colaboración entre la universidad (UPC) y la empresa (Fluidra S.A.) dentro del marco del programa de doctorados industriales de la agencia AGAUR (Agencia de Gestión de Ayudas Universitarias y de Investigación) de la Generalitat de Catalunya. Fluidra es un grupo de empresas que se dedican principalmente a la fabricación, desarrollo, distribución y comercialización de equipamiento para piscina, residencial y publica. La compañía opera con más de 20.000 referencias, fabricadas en diferentes centros productivos alrededor del mundo y comercializados en más de 170 países. Para los artículos con poca demanda y una comercialización global, los costes unitarios asociados son altos, de ahí la necesidad de innovar en la búsqueda de nuevas soluciones que optimicen los costes de producción y la cadena de suministro de dichos artículos. Por ello, la propuesta es el uso de la fabricación aditiva para la producción de aquellos artículos con baja demanda con el fin de optimizar los costes asociados a la fabricación y el suministro. El objetivo principal de la tesis es realizar una metodología de diseño y fabricación que permita a los ingenieros transformar la manera de producir, de los procesos convencionales a la fabricación digital con tecnologías aditivas. Existen una serie de barreras tecnológicas en la fabricación aditiva, como son la tecnología, el material, el diseño y las referencias, que hacen que la transformación digital no sea trivial. Por ello, es necesario la creación de un método que sea capaz de superar las barreras técnicas y económicas con el objetivo de transformar el proceso de producción de forma satisfactoria. A nivel de organización, los objetivos que se han marcado son decrementar la depreciación económica-contable causada por el tiempo de permanencia en stock de los artículos, reducir o eliminar el riesgo de obsolescencia de las referencias y reducir el tiempo de entrega de recambios para dar un mejor servicio de suministro al cliente. En conclusión, se trata de una contribución metodológica extrapolable a cualquier organización que pretende adoptar los sistemas de fabricación aditiva basados en plásticos en su entramado industrial. Además, se ha conseguido avanzar en el estado del arte con un método, basado en un sistema experto, que se diferencia de los demás por las siguientes razones: se focaliza en el proceso MJF y PA12, proporciona sugerencias de rediseño, fabricación y postprocesos y valora la factibilidad técnica y económica de la transformación digital. Fruto de dicho estudio se han determinado cuales son las limitaciones tecnológicas y de los materiales que no permiten la introducción masiva de la fabricación aditiva en las empresas productivas.

La industria manufacturera en el Perú tiene una alta participación en la economía del país, conformando un 75% de la industria según la Sociedad Nacional de Industrias. Entre los principales rubros en apogeo se encuentra la producción de plásticos. Asimismo, una de las actividades económicas más demandantes en el 2016 fue la fabricación de productos hecho a base de polímeros. De esta manera, el aumento de pedidos relacionados con plásticos genera que las empresas dedicadas al rubro aumenten su producción mediante máquinas más especializadas, donde la infraestructura adicional que tienen estas máquinas facilita la producción de piezas de plástico; sin embargo, no todas tienen las mismas capacidades. En efecto, la empresa Firings E.I.R.L. cuenta con una máquina inyectora de plástico capaz de fabricar piezas hechas en polietileno; sin embargo, la infraestructura mecánica, eléctrica e hidráulica no se encuentra adaptada para soportar sus principales procesos, como la calibración de resistencias o el enfriamiento de las piezas fabricadas, causando retraso en la producción y exposición al operario a solventar estas carencias manualmente. De esta manera, el objetivo principal del proyecto consiste en desarrollar un sistema de automatización industrial para el proceso de fabricación y enfriamiento de piezas de plástico, mediante 3 etapas de desarrollo: un sistema de control en la unidad de inyección, un sistema de enfriamiento, y un cúmulo de interfaces visuales en tiempo real, con el propósito de reducir el tiempo perdido en la fabricación manual, y evitar accidentes eléctricos hacia el operario.The manufacturing industry in Peru has a high participation in the country's economy, making up 75% of the industry according to the National Society of Industries. Plastics production is among the main booming industries. Also, one of the most demanding economic activities in 2016 was the manufacture of polymer-based products. In this way, the increase in orders related to plastics generates that the companies dedicated to the sector increase their production through more specialized machines, where the additional infrastructure that these machines have facilitates the production of plastic parts; however, not all have the same capabilities. Indeed, Firings E.I.R.L. It has a plastic injection machine capable of manufacturing parts made of polyethylene; However, the mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic infrastructure is not adapted to withstand certain factors, such as resistance calibration or cooling of the manufactured parts, causing delay in production and exposure to the operator to solve these deficiencies manually. In this way, the main objective of the project is to develop an industrial automation system for the manufacturing and cooling process of plastic parts, through 3 development stages: a control system in the injection unit, a cooling system, and a host of visual interfaces in real time, to reduce the time lost in manual manufacturing and avoid electrical accidents to the operator.

Aunque el presente catálogo podría presentarse en una lujosa edición completamente inaccesible para los estudiantes y el público en general, ya que en estos días la edición en un buen papel a color resulta sorprendentemente cara, nuestro propósito, además de reportar el producto de una investigación a los estudiosos, es también ofrecer un documento práctico y útil para sectores mayores de la población. Nos interesa aportar no solo a los especialistas interesados en el arte, la iconografía o la historia prehispánica, y a los estudiantes de estos campos, sino también a la población general y especialmente a la gente de un estado que a pesar de tener una alta valoración de su pasado prehispánico y vivir en una tierra que literalmente ebulle de restos arqueológicos, no cuenta con un gran museo que centralice una visión general de la escultura elaborada en estas tierras durante la época prehispánica. La presente publicación reúne una buena cantidad de piezas, capaces de esbozar tal visión general. No es —y ahora sabemos que no podría ser— un trabajo exhaustivo, pero sí nos permite percibir la riqueza del todo a partir de esta colección. Para lograr una muestra representativa no hemos desdeñado las piezas menores, en la medida de nuestra capacidad. Es claro, que si debiéramos considerar cada fragmento de cerámica, cada figurilla, cada piedra pulida de las que afloran casi espontáneamente del suelo o como producto de las excavaciones profesionales del inah, el catálogo sería interminable y monótono. Pero tampoco sería confiable para dar una idea del patrimonio escultórico, si solamente contuviera las obras mayores y más impresionantes del amplio corpus que puede conformarse.

Climate change is happening all around us, and one of the telltale signs is melting glaciers. We hear about it almost daily, pieces of ice the size of continents breaking off of Antarctica or the polar arctic ice breaking up and disappearing more and more quickly opening up navigational routes once unavailable due to thick winter ice cover. Will melting ice and glaciers so far away change our lives? Meltdown takes us deep into the cryosphere, the Earth’s frozen environment and picks apart why glacier melt caused by climate change will alter (and already is altering) the way we live around the world. From rising seas that will destroy property and flood millions of acres of coastal lands, displacing hundreds of millions of people, to rising global temperatures due to reflectivity changes of the Earth because of decreased white glacier surface area, to colossal water supply changes from glacier runoff reduction, to deadly glacier tsunamis caused by the structural weakening of ice on high mountaintops that will take out entire communities living in glacier runoff basins, to escaping methane gas from thawing frozen permafrost grounds, and changing ocean temperatures that affect jet streams and ocean water currents around the planet, glacier melt is altering our global ecosystems in ways that will drastically change our everyday lives. Meltdown takes us into the little-known periglacial environment, a world of invisible subterranean glaciers in our coldest mountain ranges that will survive the initial impacts of climate change but that are also ultimately at risk due to a warming climate. By examining the dynamics of melting glaciers, Meltdown helps us grasp the impacts of a massive geological era shift occurring right before our eyes.

Full textAbstract:
Concepción Arenal Ponte (Ferrol, España, enero 31 de 1820-Vigo, España, 4 de febrero de 1893). Abogada, poeta, ensayista y periodista cuya obra se inscribe dentro del Realismo literario, es precursora del feminismo español con sus escritos y acciones sociales en defensa de los derechos y la dignidad de las mujeres. No es difícil imaginar las angustias de su tiempo. La literatura nos da la licencia, lo que siguen son los detalles de vida, los lugares, las personas. Primero una biblioteca y el contacto con los libros, luego el plan, las injusticias y carencias de muchas mujeres y el ritual de la limitación ya estaba servido. Doña Concepción “Concha” como talvez la llamaban sus seres queridos, ya se había organizado muchas veces un plan mental. Debía ingresar a las Aulas de la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad Central de Madrid. Con seguridad se había detenido en las proximidades del alma mater, había visto los rostros adustos de los juristas, sus cerrados trajes de levita y sombrero de copa alta. El siglo XIX seguía la férrea tradición y resistencia a que la mujer tuviera un espacio fuera de sus roles reproductivos. Tuvo que haber examinado con detalle propio de su alma sensible los gestos, los adornos, el brillo de las miradas, las inflexiones de la voz, los zapatos lustrosos, el espíritu de cofradía de los estudiantes en las llegadas y salidas masivas del claustro. Habría sabido el arte de camuflarse en la muchedumbre, en las jornadas más concurridas, el discreto arte de hacerse uno con la mayoría. Concepción también había estudiado su propia puesta en escena. Frente al espejo habría repetido algunos latinazgos, y un poema clásico propio de la retórica de la época. La oratoria en preparación para el examen de admisión mientras soñaba con ser como “uno más” en el aula de clases de derecho civil o la teoría del poder y del Estado. Aunque no tengamos los datos certeros de un biógrafo, con seguridad tuvo largas charlas preparatorias para el gran día, el resto de la puesta en escena. Con seguridad esa cómplice ayuda amiga que es-tuvo a su lado cuando fue descubierta. Siendo consciente de las limitaciones de su tiempo ella pensaba en ser parte del cambio. No es posible concebir su proyecto, como una mera apuesta por romper barreras sin conciencia de futuro. Sin duda aprender leyes era proporcional a su pasión por la justicia, la de los más desvalidos, entre quienes se contaba ella misma y su género. Su candidez o exceso de confianza sorprenden. Las jornadas de práctica teatral habían terminado por forjar en ella un camuflaje seguro, una performance donde la masculinidad se completa en el travestimiento, en un final de siglo donde los estereotipos de la masculinidad eran tan marcados que un poco de brusquedad, unas facciones duras, ante la ausencia de maquillaje o el cabello corto y engominado habían bastado para completar la expectativa de género. En el proceso todo valía la pena frente a un fin elevado: las leyes y con ella la justicia que debía estar al servicio de la causa social. Concepción Arenal no es la primera mujer que se viste de hombre para alcanzar su sueño, sí, la primera en hacerlo en una nación y en el marco de un cultura jurídica ítalo- germánico-canónica, en la que el lugar de la mujer en la sociedad estaba limitado por una visión patriarcal, una línea paterna de mando y organización de la vida en la que las mujeres no tienen derechos civi les, ni políticos, esencialmente porque no eran personas y mucho menos ciudadanas. Sería la primera mujer española en planear y ejecutar su acceso a la educación superior, hacerse abogada a pesar de todos los obstáculos que le sobrevendrían después de ser descubierta. Triunfo a medias? No fue expulsada, su valor se leyó como un signo excepcional. Podría asistir a las aulas cumpliendo el lastimero ritual de ser recibida por un lebrel, conducida de clase en clase por cada maestro y dejada nuevamente en un espacio seguro del contacto masculino. Una semana, un mes, un año, estuvo en las aulas de 1842 a 1845, para que al final no tuviera un título formal. Concepción no se dio por vencida, no se detuvo. La historia de su éxito posterior, es el testimonio de sus libros. Su lucidez y buen juicio se extenderían tanto como sus obras. Estuvo en las cárceles y hospicios, es-cuchó el clamor de los marginados. Ella pensó en superarse, en abierta lucha contra la injusticia y luego habló, interpeló a las mujeres y hombres de su tiempo, pero sobre todo y como se titula esta obra, escribió para “la mujer del porvenir”. Su voz sigue vigente, ahora como antes y su legado constituye un acto de memoria urgen-te para esta y las futuras generaciones. *** La obra de Concepción Arenal inaugura el proyecto BLA Biblioteca de Autoras libres, en el marco de la creación del “Observatorio Mujer, género y violencias” de la Univesidad Libre, mediante Res. 03 de 20 de agosto de 2020 y en cumplimiento de sus actividades de Investigación, formación académica y proyección social, en armonía con los proyectos de investigación “Género, derecho y memoria histórica”, del grupo Derecho, Sociedad y estudios internacionales, y el proyecto mul-ticampus “Identificación los roles y los estereotipos de género en la Universidad y Comunidades de Impacto: Herramientas para Igualdad y Eliminación de todas las formas de Violencia (2021-2022)”. La colección “Biblioteca de Autoras libres” se presenta como un espacio para la difusión del pensamiento y obras de mujeres quienes, a lo largo de la historia y la formación del pensamiento político, jurídico liberal que han sido piezas clave para la construcción de una sociedad más justa, tolerante, incluyente y en paz. Finalmente, es muy importante destacar cómo ejercicio de memoria para el futuro, el trabajo de transcripción y revisión de ediciones previas, realizado por de los integrantes del semillero “Género, derecho y memoria histórica”: Jorge Acevedo, María José Nieto, Lina Moreno, Julieth Guerrero, Laura Ocampo, Valen-tina Rodríguez, Vanessa Lesmes, María Fernanda Neira y Paula Cárdenas. Sin su paciente labor de copistas, al más tradicional estilo antiguo, la colección “Biblioteca de Autoras Libres BAL” no empezaría a dar sus frutos. El proyecto BAL es una realidad gracias a la confianza y apoyo de nuestras directivas Seccionales, Dr Fernando Salinas y Dra Elizabeth García, quienes valorando la filosofía y los principios fundacionales de nuestra alma mater, acompañan este acto de memoria de mujeres que han sido una pieza fundamental en la consolidación de tradición liberal y en la igualdad de género como una necesidad urgente para la construcción de una nueva nación.

AbstractDue to constant internet connection many games nowadays require developers of games such as Overwatch to alter the structure of their video games directly and frequently. This chapter argues that, because of such modern technologies, Blizzard is able to change the meaning of the game content whenever it wants so that players are constantly forced to follow the changing authorial intention if they wish to continue playing the game. An illustrative example of game content to which authorial intention is applied are the Overwatch’s heroes, where the players’ interpretations of the characters as game pieces and fictional beings are systematically outplayed by the developer. This chapter thus demands to critically re-evaluate our perception of the author’s influence over the interpretation of a cultural product.

This chapter focuses on how Navajo nationalism attempted to alter the spatial dynamics that subordinated Navajo claims to control their land to metropolitan demands for inexpensive power. Metropolitan demand produced the notion that Navajos possessed massive mineral wealth, and this allowed young activists to imagine the Nation as space colonized by the greedy cities of the Southwest. It allowed Navajo leader Peter MacDonald to imagine the formation of a Navajo state powerful enough to control the distribution of power in the region. Moreover, all versions of Navajo nationalism recognized that metropolitan growth depended on the resources located on their land. As such, Navajo nationalists attempted to manipulate the Southwestern cities' dependence on Indian resources to produce meaningful power within the region.

Chapter 4 examines the case studies of three new primary schools for non-elite girls in and around late-colonial Guatemala City, as locals called the recently relocated capital. These educational initiatives illustrate both change and continuity, blurring the perceived battle lines between baroque and enlightened pieties. Enlightened feminine ideals based on the social utility of educated mothers and Bourbon reform efforts operated in conjunction with on-going alliances between laywomen and clergy and an attachment to monastic models of feminine piety. These schools also show how laywomen acted as pioneers and innovators, shaping educational reform through creative engagement with Bourbon reforms, Enlightenment ideas, and progressive Catholicism. The formation of Guatemala City’s “Teacher’s College” for native women in the Beaterio de Indias also challenged entrenched racial ideologies and illustrates a critical shift toward acknowledging native laywomen’s capacity to serve as teachers and spiritual leaders.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter offers a reimagining of Victor Burgin's projection piece Prairie and its political aesthetic. Using the specificity of Chicago as site and staging ground, the chapter deploys Roland Barthes' conceit of the ship Argo, 'each piece of which the Argonauts gradually replaced, so that they ended with an entirely new ship, without having to alter either its name or its form.' Using this critical tool in which 'the system prevails over the very being of objects' to build its own version of the projection, the chapter explores explicitly many of the themes and issues in Burgin's piece: issues of urban destruction, race relations, spatial justice and deep time. The chapter begins with Prairie and, 'by dint of combinations made within one and the same name' comes to find that, like the argo, 'nothing is left of the origin', but instead is understood as a site of both disappearance and of writing.

Full textAbstract:
The chapter addresses the relationship between church/ecclesial practices and disability. Traditionally, disability ecclesiology focuses on how and in what way ecclesial practices contribute to the exclusion or inclusion of people living with various kinds of disability. The chapter takes as its starting point new trends in ecclesiological research by asking in what way non-ecclesial practice can be understood to be of relevance to ecclesiology. The example is Marte Wexelsen Goksøyr’s performance of the poem “Voggesang for ein bytting” at the National Theatre in Oslo. This performance can be understood as the embodiment of a physical altar piece depicting Mary and Jesus with Down syndrome. I argue that this expression can be understood as a disability-sensitive decentred church.

Ben “The Thing” Grimm of the Fantastic Four is portrayed as a working-class “guy,” despite the vast amount of money at his disposal as a principal in Fantastic Four, Inc. However, his origins go back further than his first appearance in 1961, to the childhood of his co-creator and original artist, Jack Kirby. Kirby, a working-class Jew from the slums of Lower East Side New York City in the early part of the twentieth century, patterned Grimm after himself. Even after both Kirby and cocreator Stan Lee left Fantastic Four, successive writers and artists would include new pieces of background information about the character cementing the direct correlation between the fictional Thing and his real-world creator and alter ego, Jack Kirby.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past two decades, labor historians in America and Australia have deployed a range of new analytic tools to challenge older, essentialist interpretations of working-class politics in each country (rendering them anomalous compared to their European forebears) and better evaluate workers’ thoughts and actions on their “own terms.” This chapter continues this process of revision. It compares workers’ responses to major pieces of welfare reform in each country during the Depression era, not to assess them as agents of social change but for insight into their self-understanding as political subjects. Specifically, reactions to the contributory principle that underpinned both the Social Security Act in the United States and the National Insurance Act in Australia highlights the ways in which workers’ negotiation of institutional change might affirm or alter political self-understandings. American workers’ acceptance of the contributory principle accompanied the construction of a newfound “self-governance” and “consumer citizenship” among white, working men, whereas Australian workers’ hostility to the principle was couched in a pre-existing sense of “independence” and “self-reliance” undergirded by existing social and wage policies. A comparative approach thus stresses the historicity and contingency of working-class subjectivities even in two countries much alike for their “liberal hegemony” and helps open up the possibility of rethinking institutional forms and their relations with constituting new subjectivities in late-capitalist societies.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Screw conveyors are a well know and well recognized means of moving material from one point to another. The wood products industry uses screw conveyors in the transportation of their raw materials throughout the mills. These screw conveyors are typically categorized by the common name of “wood screws”. Failures of wood screws are usually related to the imposed operating loads. Many wood screws are subjected to abnormally high loads that are sometimes not anticipated in the original design. Wood screws are also subjected to the effects of fatigue due to rotation. An unconventional new wood screw design was used at one location to address a condition of reoccurring failures and increase the reliability of the mill’s feeder system. This new design deviated from the popular method of fabricating the screw from one continuous piece of seamless pipe. Instead the new screw was fabricated by welding together pipe of two different wall thicknesses. The new screw design used one piece of thicker wall thickness pipe in the center one-third section and used two pieces of the original wall thickness pipe at each end. This design modification increased the section modulus and decreased the deflection of the screw at the center, but did not alter the existing drive and support arrangement of the screw. The welds between the different wall thickness sections of pipe were located at the quarter points which are away from the highly stressed areas of the center section of the screw.

In the past, we have utilized porous inert media (PIM) to suppress noise and thermo-acoustic instabilities in swirl-stabilized combustion systems operated on gaseous fuels. The same concept will also be shown to work in liquid fueled combustion systems. This study presents experimental results to evaluate the PIM concept for suppressing combustion noise in a duel fuel combustor. Experiments for gaseous fuel combustion are performed using natural gas premixed with air upstream of the combustor dump plane. Experiments for liquid fuel combustion are performed using kerosene fuel supplied through a commercial air-blast atomizer. In this combustor, the flame stabilizes downstream of the dump plane by central and corner recirculation zones. Multiple ring shape PIM pieces are inserted into the combustor to alter the flow field in an advantageous manner. Each PIM piece has the same outer diameter but different inner diameters. Results are presented to investigate the effects of equivalence ratio and heat release rate for gaseous fuel combustion and air to liquid mass ratio and heat release rate for liquid fuel combustion. Attempts were also made to create thermo-acoustic instabilities by positioning four loudspeakers radially around the primary air flow upstream of the combustor. Measurements of sound pressure levels (SPL), and CO and NOx emissions were taken to characterize the combustion process. Results show that PIM can passively mitigate combustion noise in a duel fuel combustor without adversely affecting the emissions.

Full textAbstract:
<p>Bridges founded in water can be prone to scour erosion, an effect which alters the dynamic properties of the bridge. In seismic regions, bridges are prone to excitation from earthquakes, which can be damaging to the structures. These two hazards, while independent from one another, can alter how each affects a bridge in the sense that an earthquake may pose a more serious effect on a scoured bridge than on the unscoured structure. The magnitude and location of a scour hole affecting a structure can alter the seismic bridge response to varying degrees. In this paper, a finite-element model of a multi- span bridge is created using OpenSees, and some preliminary results of a numerical investigation into scour at multiple locations and the resulting impact on the seismic behavior is reported. The bridge is subjected to ground motion considering several defined scour conditions, where scour is modelled as the incremental increase in length of a given pier. The influence of scour depth and location on the internal shear forces, displacement and accelerations of the structure are studied with a view to ascertaining critical damage combinations.</p>

Los Hormigones de Alta Resistencia Reforzados con Fibras aparecen como materiales promisorios para construir elementos de protección o estructuras expuestas a acciones extremas. Este trabajo analiza el efecto de la incorporación de diferentes contenidos y tipos de fibras de acero en un hormigón de base autocompactante y con una resistencia a compresión mayor a 110 MPa. Luego de describir la obtención del material y el comportamiento mecánico en flexión y compresión, se analiza la respuesta bajo cargas estáticas y frente a explosiones de losas cuadradas de 500 mm de lado y 50 mm de espesor. Los resultados evidencian la potencialidad del material ante acciones extremas; el refuerzo con fibras mantuvo la integridad de las piezas con una reducción significativa del daño y un cuadro de fisuración que manifiesta gran capacidad de absorción de energía.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/HAC2018.2018.5240

La presente comunicación tiene como objetivo analizar la experiencia del club de lectura que se desarrolló en el segundo curso del Grado en Periodismo de la Universitat Jaume I (Castelló) durante el curso 2017-18. La actividad, ofrecida a los estudiantes fuera del horario lectivo, tenía como objetivos principales incentivar el hábito de lectura, fomentar la capacidad de reflexión y el espíritu crítico y mejorar la formación de los futuros periodistas. El club de lectura se dividió en dos partes, vinculadas a las dos asignaturas de Géneros Periodísticos del curso, una de primer cuatrimestre y otra del segundo. El club de lectura del primer cuatrimestre debatió sobre obras de autores como Kapuściński y Caparrós, mientras que, en el del segundo, los estudiantes debían redactar piezas periodísticas siguiendo como modelo los textos analizados. En la encuesta posterior, los participantes evaluaron la actividad con una nota muy alta. Además, los resultados mostraron que el club de lectura cumplió con los objetivos que se habían marcado inicialmente.

1. Alertar a los clínicos de los episodios mixtos 2. Informar de un caso clínico psicopatológico complejo 3. Mujer de 55 años, diagnosticada de Trastorno Obsesivo-Compulsivo de 30 años de evolución, con frecuentes descompensaciones con tratamiento antidepresivo en dosis altas y risperidona. En abril de 2019 con empeoramiento progresivo de las ideas obsesivas hipocondríacas de que tendría un cáncer en la boca. A lo largo de 7 meses el paciente comenzó a beber alcohol en exceso diariamente, con varios intentos de desintoxicación en clínicas privadas. La paciente pasaba sus días quitándose pieles de la boca, vagando sin curso, bebiendo alcohol, fumando cigarrillos que recogía del suelo y gastando dinero en exceso. Fue ingresada en atención psiquiátrica en el Hospital de São Bernardo. En una evaluación más detallada, la condición comenzó con un estado de ánimo deprimido, y las ideas no eran obsesivas sino delirantes secundarias al estado de ánimo. Había síntomas del polo maníaco: aceleración psicomotriz y aumento del consumo de sustancias psicoactivas. Se diagnosticó un estado mixto agravado por los antidepresivos y se medicó con Ácido Valproico 1000 mg/día y Quetiapina 400 mg/día. Se observó una mejora psicopatológica con un estado de ánimo eutímico, una organización del comportamiento y la desaparición de las ideas hipocondríacas. En la reevaluación en consulta hasta enero de 2021, la paciente permaneció estable con estabilizadores del estado de ánimo y aripiprazol 10 mg (se suspendió la quetiapina por la aparición de lesiones tipo erupción). No volvió a abusar del alcohol. Abandonó el seguimiento por su propia voluntad. Los estados mixtos son periodos clínicos complejos y confusos, sobre todo porque no existen criterios diagnósticos claros en las clasificaciones internacionales: ICD-11 y DSM-V. Es importante reconocer estos episodios porque suelen condicionar un mal funcionamiento psicosocial, con abuso de sustancias y mayor riesgo de suicidio.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Centrifugal pumps are devices commonly used in countless industrial and residential applications, from water supply systems to oil and gas processing plants. These rotatory hydraulic machines have a strong impact on the energy consumption of industry worldwide, not only because of their vast amount but also because of their continuous operation. Therefore, developing techniques to improve the efficiency of pumping systems is of great help to make communities and industrial activity more sustainable. The overall performance of these pieces of machinery cannot be fully predicted by means of analytical procedures due to the complexity of the fluid flow phenomena that occurs in their interior, so it is common practice to resort to alternate modeling techniques, such as computer aided numerical analysis, which can predict the performance of a pump, given its CAD computer model. However, the performance of an actual centrifugal pump may deviate from its ideal behavior due to multiple causing factors which may alter the performance curves given by the manufacturers in the corresponding data sheets. The discrepancies between the real and the simulated responses of centrifugal pumps demand for better modeling and simulation techniques to improve the design of more efficient pumping systems. Digital twins have the ability to bring the simulation environment closer to reality, by replicating the behavior of the physical system in a simulation environment with the support of experimental data. The digital twin of a multiple pumps system with serial and parallel configurations was developed, based on two identical industrial centrifugal pumps available in the laboratory. Experimental data was collected to calibrate the digital twin system so that the simulated system can predict the response under changing operating conditions. The simulation environment was developed with the assistance of a commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics computer program. After validating the behavior of the virtual components, with respect to the behavior of their actual counterparts, tests were carried out to predict the behavior of the pumping system in case of downstream disturbances which can affect the operating point of the overall pumping system and its corresponding efficiency. The development of the digital twin for the pumping system allowed visualizing how the pumps connected in series or in parallel can be maneuvered to adjust its operating conditions to achieve higher efficiency operating conditions in response to changes in the conditions downstream in the pipeline.

Full textAbstract:
En las últimas décadas, el hormigón reforzado con fibras (HRF) ha avanzado hacia aplicaciones estructurales, permitiendo la sustitución del refuerzo con barras corrugadas por fibras, especialmente de acero [1, 2]. Para la utilización estructural del hormigón reforzado con fibras se utilizan normalmente valores de resistencia a la tracción por flexión, tal y como refleja la normativa existente de referencia [3, 4]. Los resultados de estos ensayos están fuertemente influidos por la orientación y distribución de las fibras en la superficie de fractura, por lo que la combinación del HRF con hormigón autocompactante (HAC) mejora los resultados de fractura en dicha dirección gracias a la orientación preferente que toman las fibras en la dirección del flujo de hormigonado [5, 6]. El hormigón reforzado con fibras de acero (HRFA) permite además el uso de fibras con los extremos formando patillas que, junto con un alto módulo de elasticidad, facilitan la obtención de resultados aptos para piezas estructurales [7, 8]. No obstante, la aportación durante el amasado de altos contenidos de fibras rígidas provoca una disminución de la trabajabilidad y no permite la obtención sencilla de un hormigón que mantenga las propiedades autcompactantes en estado fresco [9]. Por otro lado, las sinergias encontradas combinando distintas tecnologías de hormigón también se han encontrado combinando tipologías de fibras diferentes [10], lo que abre un importante abanico de posibilidades como la combinación de fibras con distinta longitud.En esta investigación se presentan los resultados de un trabajo experimental con el objetivo de optimizar los procesos de diseño de HAC reforzado con fibras de acero para obtener mezclas robustas con alta resistencia y manteniendo sus propiedades en estado fresco. Se realizó una campaña experimental en la que se elaboró un HAC sin fibras de referencia (H0) al que después se añadieron 70kg/m3 de fibras de acero (H70). Además se combinaron por igual dos tipos de fibras de acero con un contenido total de 70kg/m3 (H70M). Con estas 3 mezclas se estudió la influencia de la incorporación de altos contenidos y tipos de fibras de acero en las propiedades en estado fresco del hormigón autocompactante. Posteriormente se caracterizaron las propiedades mecánicas y en fractura de los hormigones fabricados obteniendo resultados que mostraron las sinergias en la utilización de dos tipologías de fibras.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/HAC2018.2018.5152
