Museums, libraries and archives have long been considered the retainers of some form of collective memory. Within the last twenty years, the term ‘memory institution’ has been coined to describe these entities, which is symptomatic of the fact that such places are increasingly linked through digital media and online networks. The concept of the memory institution is also part of the vocabulary used to promote broader cultural integration across nations, and appears in discussions of European heritage and in policy documents concerning the digitization of cultural heritage collections. To explore the relationship between cultural heritage, memory and digital technology further, this paper will examine the large-scale digitization project Europeana, under which museums, libraries and archives are re-defined as cultural heritage institutions or memory institutions. My purpose is to trace the conceptual trajectory of memory within this context, and to address how the idea of a European cultural memory structured by technology holds implications for institutions traditionally associated with practices of remembering.Key words: Cultural heritage, collective memory, digitization, network, memory institution, Europe, integration

AbstractThe histories of ancient Greece and Rome are part of a shared European heritage, and a foundation for many modern Western social and cultural traditions. Their printing and circulation during the Renaissance helped to shape the identities of individual nations, and create different reading publics. Yet we still lack a comprehensive understanding of the forms in which works of Greek and Roman history were published in the first centuries of the handpress age, the relationship between the ideas contained within these texts and the books as material objects, and thus the precise nature of the changes they effected in early modern European culture and society. This article provides the groundwork for a reassessment of the place of ancient history in the early modern world. Using new, digital resources to reappraise existing scholarship, it offers a fresh evaluation of the publication of the ancient historians from the inception of print to 1600, revealing important differences that alter our understanding of particular authors, texts, and trends, and suggesting directions for further research. It also models the research possibilities of large-scale digital catalogues and databases, and highlights the possibilities (and pitfalls) of these resources.

The European Landscape Convention is an international treaty of great importance in the European institutional framework, but it contains a number of unclear and controversial points. This article investigates the relationship between the Convention and history, disclosing several critical aspects. In particular, it is worth mentioning that from the text of the Convention the term history/histoire is missing. The essay explores the reasons for this absence, in relation to a more general crisis of historical culture that affects the European nations. This crisis had already been foreseen by a number of authors, such as Jean-François Lyotard, Eric Hobsbawm, Claude Lévi-Strauss and François Hartog. In Italy, the most recent book by Adriano Prosperi (Un tempo senza storia, 2021) investigates the crisis of historical culture in contemporary societies, severely affecting schools and students’ educational programmes. The European Convention apparently shares this approach that constitutes a real threat to a proper knowledge of landscapes as repositories of collective memory and cultural heritage.

The Relationship

Cultural heritage, also in light of Italy's recent ratification of the Faro Convention, is confirmed as the set of resources inherited from the past that communities consider an expression of their values ​​and beliefs. In particular, the intangible heritage seems to clearly express the close link with the methods of construction of memory and identity, contributing to the definition of that pedagogical implication that generates processes of ideological incorporation. The contribution intends to propose a critical reflection on the relationship between identity, intangible cultural heritage and political educational project in Sicily, also following the issue of the guidelines for the implementation of the regional law on the promotion, enhancement and teaching of history, literature and of the Sicilian linguistic heritage in schools

O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de analisar como a relação entre identidade, memória e conservação podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento do turismo utilizando elementos do patrimônio cultural do Monumento Natural Os Monólitos de Quixadá. Para isso, desenvolveram-se processos de investigação calcados principalmente em uma abordagem qualitativa com metodologia baseada na análise de conteúdo. Utilizou-se de pesquisas bibliográficas, em fontes documentais e empíricas. Essas consistiram em uma pesquisa de campo indagada a três grupos determinados pelo pesquisador que foram: da comunidade local inseridas na referida Unidade de Conservação (UC) (35 entrevistas), dos governos locais (5) e da iniciativa privada (10) envolvidos com o turismo e a cultura. E a partir dessa averiguação, identificaram-se aspectos da memória coletiva que contribuiu para conhecer a história local e determinando, dessa forma, quais os bens culturais na visão desses grupos que são representativos à cidade e que formam a identidade quixadaense constituindo no seu patrimônio. O trabalho é estruturado em três capítulos: Turismo nas Unidades de Conservação e sua relação com a problemática de estudo; Apreciação do Legado Histórico e sua Importância para o Desenvolvimento Local: O caso de Quixadá/CE; A Herança dos Monólitos de Quixadá: Reflexões, Impactos e Transformação Turística. Em suma, diz-se que as discussões colocadas em tela são referentes a um contexto dialético e subversivo entre grupos sociais que refletem em uma transformação antagônica dos valores culturais existentes nessas áreas protegidas que são permeados pela memória e identidade da população ao longo do tempo acarretando no fator depreciativo da conservação do patrimônio local. Por fim, entende-se que para ocorrer o desenvolvimento sustentável do turismo com enfoque na cultura é imprescindível que a relação entre memória, identidade e conservação se concretize na sociedade local. Tourism in the light of cultural heritage: an approach on the identity, memory and conservation of Monoliths Quixada (CE) (Brazil) ABSTRACT The aim of this work to examine how the relationship between identity, memory and conservation can contribute to the development of tourism using elements of the cultural heritage of Quixada. Therefore, procedures are developed for research based mainly to a qualitative approach with methodology proposed by Bardin. The bibliographic used searches on documentary sources and empirical. These consisted of a local search asked the three groups that were determined by the researcher: the local community (35 interviews), government (5) and private initiative (10) involved with tourism. And from that investigation identified aspects of the collective memory that contributed to know the local history and determining thus what the cultural vision in these groups that are representative to the city and to form the tourense identity is in it’s heritage. The work is divided into three chapters: Tourism in Protected Areas and its relationship to the study of the problem; Findings of Historical Legacy and its Importance for Local Development: The case of Quixada/CE; The Heritage of monoliths Quixada: Reflections, Impacts and Tourism Transformation. In short, it says that the discussions are put on screen for a logical and subversive connection between social groups that reflected in a opposite transformation cultural values existing in the city that are conducted the memory and identity of the population over time causing the devalued factor the conservation of local heritage. Finally, it understood that to occur sustainable tourism development with a focus on culture is essential that the relationship between memory, identity and conservation firm in local society.

Summary: Our meta-analysis focused on the relationship between homocysteine (Hcy) level and the incidence of aneurysms and looked at the relationship between smoking, hypertension and aneurysms. A systematic literature search of Pubmed, Web of Science, and Embase databases (up to March 31, 2020) resulted in the identification of 19 studies, including 2,629 aneurysm patients and 6,497 healthy participants. Combined analysis of the included studies showed that number of smoking, hypertension and hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) in aneurysm patients was higher than that in the control groups, and the total plasma Hcy level in aneurysm patients was also higher. These findings suggest that smoking, hypertension and HHcy may be risk factors for the development and progression of aneurysms. Although the heterogeneity of meta-analysis was significant, it was found that the heterogeneity might come from the difference between race and disease species through subgroup analysis. Large-scale randomized controlled studies of single species and single disease species are needed in the future to supplement the accuracy of the results.

In this article, the ''Cold War'' is understood as a situation where the relationship between the leading States is determined by ideological confrontation and, at the same time, the presence of nuclear weapons precludes the development of this confrontation into a large-scale armed conflict. Such a situation has developed in the years 1945–1989, during the first Cold War. We see that something similar is repeated in our time-with all the new nuances in the ideological struggle and in the nuclear arms race.

BACKGROUND The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted nearly all aspects of life and has posed significant threats to international health and the economy. Given the rapidly unfolding nature of the current pandemic, there is an urgent need to streamline literature synthesis of the growing scientific research to elucidate targeted solutions. While traditional systematic literature review studies provide valuable insights, these studies have restrictions, including analyzing a limited number of papers, having various biases, being time-consuming and labor-intensive, focusing on a few topics, incapable of trend analysis, and lack of data-driven tools. OBJECTIVE This study fills the mentioned restrictions in the literature and practice by analyzing two biomedical concepts, clinical manifestations of disease and therapeutic chemical compounds, with text mining methods in a corpus containing COVID-19 research papers and find associations between the two biomedical concepts. METHODS This research has collected papers representing COVID-19 pre-prints and peer-reviewed research published in 2020. We used frequency analysis to find highly frequent manifestations and therapeutic chemicals, representing the importance of the two biomedical concepts. This study also applied topic modeling to find the relationship between the two biomedical concepts. RESULTS We analyzed 9,298 research papers published through May 5, 2020 and found 3,645 disease-related and 2,434 chemical-related articles. The most frequent clinical manifestations of disease terminology included COVID-19, SARS, cancer, pneumonia, fever, and cough. The most frequent chemical-related terminology included Lopinavir, Ritonavir, Oxygen, Chloroquine, Remdesivir, and water. Topic modeling provided 25 categories showing relationships between our two overarching categories. These categories represent statistically significant associations between multiple aspects of each category, some connections of which were novel and not previously identified by the scientific community. CONCLUSIONS Appreciation of this context is vital due to the lack of a systematic large-scale literature review survey and the importance of fast literature review during the current COVID-19 pandemic for developing treatments. This study is beneficial to researchers for obtaining a macro-level picture of literature, to educators for knowing the scope of literature, to journals for exploring most discussed disease symptoms and pharmaceutical targets, and to policymakers and funding agencies for creating scientific strategic plans regarding COVID-19.

Resource Based Theory

In a competitive business environment at the Bottom of the Pyramid smallholders supplying global value chains may be thought to be at the whims of downstream large-scale players and local market forces, leaving no room for strategic entrepreneurial behavior. In such a context we test the relationship between the use of strategic resources and firm performance. We adopt the Resource Based Theory and show that seemingly homogenous smallholders deploy resources differently and, consequently, some do outperform others. We argue that the ‘resource-based theory’ results in a more fine-grained understanding of smallholder performance than approaches generally applied in agricultural economics. We develop a mixed-method approach that allows one to pinpoint relevant, industry-specific resources, and allows for empirical identification of the relative contribution of each resource to competitive advantage. The results show that proper use of quality labor, storage facilities, time of selling, and availability of animals are key capabilities.
