Psalm 59 as the basis of apocalyptic-millenaries interpretation of in New Spain Franciscans the founder’s missionArticle treat about the criticism of sources. In this case it comes to appeal to the Spanish chroniclers Motolinii and Mendieta to Psalm 59. In Mendieta comes to special translate a fragment of the same psalm, which is one of the foundations of apocalyptic-millenaries interpretation of the Franciscan missions in Mexico in the first half of the sixteenth century.Using specific translating tools we show that the said base includes acceptance of confusion mentioned Psalm, which allows us to identify the specific validity of source criticism. It should be mentioned that the analysis of a fragment of Psalm 59, which in this context is the first to carry out the extensive literature on the subject, both when it comes to apocalyptic-millenaries perception of Franciscan spirituality among the missionaries operating in New Spain including Phelan, Baudot as well as the critics of such perception Lino Canedo, Andrés Martín, Zaballa Beascoechea.

The world of employment is impacted by major trends that are imposed by the on-going industrial advances. The changing labor market and the future of work calls for a paradigm shift in teaching and learning to equip graduates with compe-tencies they need for current and future jobs, and in particular, those of the engi-neering and technology programs. The purpose of this study is to discuss previ-ous work in the subject matter, to outline a set of teaching and learning strategies, and to create a roadmap for main players to work through to arm graduates with the intended competencies skills. To achieve this objective an extensive literature review was carried out to identify what teaching and learning strategies are cur-rently in-place, and what skills are anticipated. However, still, the education insti-tutions not been able to provide the workplace with competent graduates. A pro-posed set of intended competencies skills along with teaching and learning strate-gies for properly preparing future engineering and technology graduates was de-veloped; and a roadmap was built to show the roles of college administration, professors and students to ensure an effective way to support students gaining these skills. It is recommended that these sets of strategies including the facilita-tion of the roles of the main players to be incorporated in the educational pro-grams learning outcomes.

The Impact

Intermittent hypoxia (IH) has been the subject of considerable research in recent years, and triggers a bewildering array of both detrimental and beneficial effects in multiple physiological systems. Here, we review the extensive literature concerning IH and its impact on the respiratory, cardiovascular, immune, metabolic, bone, and nervous systems. One major goal is to define relevant IH characteristics leading to safe, protective, and/or therapeutic effects vs. pathogenesis. To understand the impact of IH, it is essential to define critical characteristics of the IH protocol under investigation, including potentially the severity of hypoxia within episodes, the duration of hypoxic episodes, the number of hypoxic episodes per day, the pattern of presentation across time (e.g., within vs. consecutive vs. alternating days), and the cumulative time of exposure. Not surprisingly, severe/chronic IH protocols tend to be pathogenic, whereas any beneficial effects are more likely to arise from modest/acute IH exposures. Features of the IH protocol most highly associated with beneficial vs. pathogenic outcomes include the level of hypoxemia within episodes and the number of episodes per day. Modest hypoxia (9–16% inspired O2) and low cycle numbers (3–15 episodes per day) most often lead to beneficial effects without pathology, whereas severe hypoxia (2–8% inspired O2) and more episodes per day (48–2,400 episodes/day) elicit progressively greater pathology. Accumulating evidence suggests that “low dose” IH (modest hypoxia, few episodes) may be a simple, safe, and effective treatment with considerable therapeutic potential for multiple clinical disorders.

Since early times civil and religious authorities of New Spain showed considerable interest in population statistics of New Mexico. Such an interest was directly related to the peculiarities of settlement in the province since the Reconquest, fourteen years after the bloody Indian uprising of 1680. From then on, control over New Mexico could only be sustained with great difficulty—final pacification could not be achieved until the late eighteenth century—for a purely geopolitical reason: keeping New Mexico for the Crown as a defensive bulwark in the northern approaches of New Spain against the penetration of hostile Indians and foreigners. In that sense, the Franciscan missions performed a decisive role in affirming the Spanish occupation of the territory.

The Brain

The skin of Loligo vulgaris and Illex illecebrosus contains a thick layer of amorphous material. In Loligo it lies above and in Illex below the chromatophore layer. We can find no mention of this layer in the considerable literature on squid skins despite its potential importance as a protection to underlying tissues and as a possible barrier to cutaneous oxygen uptake.Cephalopods have soft complicated skins. Embedded in the skin, most species have chromatophores, small bags of pigment that can be expanded by muscles that are under direct nervous control from the brain. There is an extensive literature on the physiology of chromatophores (Packard, 1988) and on their function in the behaviour of the animals (Hanlon & Messenger, 1996; Packard & Hochberg, 1977). Further cutaneous structures concerned in the determination of the colour of living cephalopods, the reflecting iridophores and leucophores (Cloney & Brocco, 1983), and the light generating photophores (Herring, 1988), have been the subject of a number of reports but other skin features such as the distribution of blood vessels have attracted little attention.

Stochastic Properties

AbstractUp to equivalence, a substitution in propositional logic is an endomorphism of its free algebra. On the dual space, this results in a continuous function, and whenever the space carries a natural measure one may ask about the stochastic properties of the action. In classical logic there is a strong dichotomy: while over finitely many propositional variables everything is trivial, the study of the continuous transformations of the Cantor space is the subject of an extensive literature, and is far from being a completed task. In many-valued logic this dichotomy disappears: already in the finite-variable case many interesting phenomena occur, and the present paper aims at displaying some of these.

The north-west corner of Spain was long neglected by Roman archaeologists, who have tended to concentrate on the more spectacular remains to be found in the south and east. However, recently more attention has been directed there by workers of several nationalities, who have now produced a quite extensive literature on the gold mines, as well as on wider aspects, chiefly in connection with the activities of the legion VII Gemina. Yet there has been little attempt in all this to examine why a substantial military force was maintained in the region for so long. This paper aims to review that problem to about the end of the second century A.D. The evidence available is almost entirely epigraphic, chiefly consisting of epitaphs and religious dedications. Building inscriptions are scarce. For convenience all the epigraphic material from the north-west of Spain that is relevant to the disposition of the army is collected in the appendix, and in the main text reference will be made to the numbers given there. In addition a few historical passages are of importance, but the archaeological site evidence is very slight. The nature of the evidence is such that most attention must be devoted to the units attested in the region and their deployment, with little to be said about their actual bases. Previous work on the subject has been dominated by the late Antonio García y Bellido in several masterly papers. However it has tended to concentrate more on the history of the units themselves than on questions of topography and the reasons behind their presence.

Abstract: Introduction: The humanization of assistance is associated to empathy, embracing, and effective communication, being part of the medical training. According to its nature, humanization requires methods that involve affections and stimulates critical thinking. Objective: Extensive literature shows the benefits of the arts in medical education; however, there are still few studies on dancing, the subject of this study, which was carried out by medical students and whose aim was to investigate hospital dancing in the teaching of humanization, from the perspective of medical students. Method: A qualitative action research study was designed, in which medical students performed choreographies for patients, companions and employees in three different wards of the teaching hospital. The action consisted of continuous cycles in the planning of interventions, performance, observing, reflection, and re-planning of subsequent actions, in a systematic manner and controlled by the researchers. Data production took place by direct observation, narratives and focal group. The data were analyzed using the content and thematic analysis methods. Results: For three months, 17 female and 7 male students between 18 and 24 years of age performed the action, producing data that was subsequently classified into 3 thematic categories: 1. Dimension of affection: contents of the student’s emotional character; 2. Care dimension: contents about caring for the patient; 3. Dance dimension: contents on dance in the humanistic training in Medicine. In the triangulation of the techniques, it was observed that joy, anxiety, and the perception of dance as an instrument of bonding were significant. The experience of changing socially-marked places for the student and the patient made the student face and overcome different feelings. The dance allowed the refinement of the look and the capacity to understand the other, taking into account perspectives that converge to or diverge from their own convictions. On the other hand, the students experienced the anxiety and joy of an encounter with themselves, perceiving dance as a pleasurable and humanizing activity. Conclusion: The dance in the hospital lead to experiences and reflections that stimulated the students’ self-knowledge, favored the student-patient relationship, and brought elements to understand the use of dancing in medicine, mainly for the teaching of empathy and humanized care.

In today’s education systems, new solutions are required for educators to raise and maintain the interest of young people (from primary school to higher education). The aim of the study is to present a self-developed gamification solution and its application in higher education in economics. The method, the process, and experiences presented in the study were tested within the framework of a management subject. The gamification model, based on an extensive literature review, was elaborated with the help of a self-developed method. Prior to the development of the process, students’ opinions on their experiences and expectations for current educational methods were surveyed. After the end of the semester, our students were asked on their feedback, and a national survey was conducted in higher education institutions about the experiences with gamification solutions. The positive consequences of the application of our own model, can be traced in the students’ continuous and year-end performance (a higher level of task solutions and better grades) and also in their feedback. Although the subject of the test semester was a management-type subject, the logic of the model can be applied within the framework of any other subject and in any higher education institution as well.
