Around the Origin of the Images in the Veintena Section of the "Primeros Memoriales" by fray Bernardino de Sahagún

By examining the pictorial content of the veintena section of the Primeros Memoriales, the manusctipt compiled by fray Bernardino de Sahagún, I identify new pieces of evidence on the origin of these illustrations and their authors. A carefull analisis of this material suggests that it is strongly embedded in the pre-Hispanic tradition and that it is doubtful that their iconographic sources originated in Tepeopolco, as it is widely believed.

El paso de la letra como objeto a la letra como número generalizado una experiencia de aula en el CED San Bernardino

El propósito de este proyecto es facilitar el tránsito de los estudiantes desde la interpretación de la letra como objeto hasta la interpretación como número generalizado. El procedimiento seguido para el desarrollo de este proyecto fue el siguiente, se aplicó la prueba diagnóstica propuesta por Küchemann, a partir de los resultados de esta se hizo una clasificación haciendo un análisis global de la prueba y luego una mirada particular a cada uno de los ítems. Después de la clasificación se dispuso el diseño de talleres que permitieran superar algunas de las dificultades vistas a través de esta prueba; cada uno de los talleres podía tener una duración mayor de una clase o incluso una semana, al final de estos se sacaban conclusiones para evaluar la efectividad de los mismos. Las actividades, se basaron en encontrar patrones en una organización dada, con ello los estudiantes debían ilustrar la situación, responder unas preguntas guía y por último hallar una fórmula que les permitiera hallar la cantidad de objetos, en una posición o momento cualquiera.

Uma ou duas gramáticas de Português Língua Estrangeira (PLE)? A New Portuguese Grammar in Four Parts (Londres, 1768), de António Vieira, e a Nouvelle Gramma ire Portugaise (Paris, 1810), de Alexandre Marie Sané

Serão visadas, neste artigo, as gramáticas A New Portuguese Grammar in four parts (Londres, 1768), de António Vieira, e Nouvelle Grammaire Portugaise (Paris, 1810), de Alexandre Marie Sané, esta considerada à época uma simples tradução francesa daquela, que é um marco dos estudos gramaticais de PLE. Pretende-se analisar esta relação entre as duas obras, evidenciada por G. Hamonière e até hoje não discutida; por outro lado, analisar o contexto específico de edição, redacção e concepção em que se situam as gramáticas de línguas estrangeiras, contexto que difere (do ponto de vista didáctico, teórico e historiográfico) da restante produção gramatical em língua materna.

La crisis de autoridad en el siglo XVI tardío: Centroamérica bajo la presidencia Don Jacinto de Barrios Leal, 1688-1695

ResumenJacinto de Barrios Leal presidió la Audiencia de Guatemala entre 1688 y 1695. Entonces el imperio español estaba en crisis y el desacato a la autoridad real era generalizado en Guatemala. Así queda mostrado con los escándalos aduaneros de 1688 y la visita general del Oidor López de Ursino, analizados en este artículo.AbstractJacinto de Barrios Leal was President of the Audiencia in Guatemala from 1688 to 1695. The Spanish Empire was in crisis and disobedience of royal authority was widespread in Guatemala. This is made evident by the customs scandals of 1688 and the visit of the Oidor, López de Ursino. Such are the topics discussed in the article.

Identification of critical input variables for risk-based cost estimates for road maintenance and rehabilitation

An estimation of costs for maintenance and rehabilitation is subject to variation due to the uncertainties of input parameters. This paper presents the results of an analysis to identify input parameters that affect the prediction of variation in road deterioration. Road data obtained from 1688 km of a national highway located in the tropical northeast of Queensland in Australia were used in the analysis. Data were analysed using a probability-based method, the Monte Carlo simulation technique and HDM-4’s roughness prediction model. The results of the analysis indicated that among the input parameters the variability of pavement strength, rut depth, annual equivalent axle load and initial roughness affected the variability of the predicted roughness. The second part of the paper presents an analysis to assess the variation in cost estimates due to the variability of the overall identified critical input parameters.

A study and comparison of multimedia Web searching : 1997-2006

Searching for multimedia is an important activity for users of Web search engines. Studying user's interactions with Web search engine multimedia buttons, including image, audio, and video, is important for the development of multimedia Web search systems. This article provides results from a Weblog analysis study of multimedia Web searching by Dogpile users in 2006. The study analyzes the (a) duration, size, and structure of Web search queries and sessions; (b) user demographics; (c) most popular multimedia Web searching terms; and (d) use of advanced Web search techniques including Boolean and natural language. The current study findings are compared with results from previous multimedia Web searching studies. The key findings are: (a) Since 1997, image search consistently is the dominant media type searched followed by audio and video; (b) multimedia search duration is still short (>50% of searching episodes are <1 min), using few search terms; (c) many multimedia searches are for information about people, especially in audio search; and (d) multimedia search has begun to shift from entertainment to other categories such as medical, sports, and technology (based on the most repeated terms). Implications for design of Web multimedia search engines are discussed.

Confidence to cook vegetables and the buying habits of Australian households

Cooking skills are emphasized in nutrition promotion but their distribution among population subgroups and relationship to dietary behavior is researched by few population-based studies. This study examined the relationships between confidence to cook, sociodemographic characteristics, and household vegetable purchasing. This cross-sectional study of 426 randomly selected households in Brisbane, Australia, used a validated questionnaire to assess household vegetable purchasing habits and the confidence to cook of the person who most often prepares food for these households. The mutually adjusted odds ratios (ORs) of lacking confidence to cook were assessed across a range of demographic subgroups using multiple logistic regression models. Similarly, mutually adjusted mean vegetable purchasing scores were calculated using multiple linear regression for different population groups and for respondents with varying confidence levels. Lacking confidence to cook using a variety of techniques was more common among respondents with less education (OR 3.30; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01 to 10.75) and was less common among respondents who lived with minors (OR 0.22; 95% CI 0.09 to 0.53) and other adults (OR 0.43; 95% CI 0.24 to 0.78). Lack of confidence to prepare vegetables was associated with being male (OR 2.25; 95% CI 1.24 to 4.08), low education (OR 6.60; 95% CI 2.08 to 20.91), lower household income (OR 2.98; 95% CI 1.02 to 8.72) and living with other adults (OR 0.53; 95% CI 0.29 to 0.98). Households bought a greater variety of vegetables on a regular basis when the main chef was confident to prepare them (difference: 18.60; 95% CI 14.66 to 22.54), older (difference: 8.69; 95% CI 4.92 to 12.47), lived with at least one other adult (difference: 5.47; 95% CI 2.82 to 8.12) or at least one minor (difference: 2.86; 95% CI 0.17 to 5.55). Cooking skills may contribute to socioeconomic dietary differences, and may be a useful strategy for promoting fruit and vegetable consumption, particularly among socioeconomically disadvantaged groups.

Modeling the impact of potential vaccines on epidemics of sexually transmitted chlamydia trachomatis infection

Background. We investigated the likely impact of vaccines on the prevalence of and morbidity due to Chlamydia trachomatis (chlamydia) infections in heterosexual populations. Methods.An individual‐based mathematical model of chlamydia transmission was developed and linked to the infection course in chlamydia‐infected individuals. The model describes the impact of a vaccine through its effect on the chlamydial load required to infect susceptible individuals (the “critical load”), the load in infected individuals, and their subsequent infectiousness. The model was calibrated using behavioral, biological, and clinical data. Results.A fully protective chlamydia vaccine administered before sexual debut can theoretically eliminate chlamydia epidemics within 20 years. Partially effective vaccines can still greatly reduce the incidence of chlamydia infection. Vaccines should aim primarily to increase the critical load in susceptible individuals and secondarily to decrease the peak load and/or the duration of infection in vaccinated individuals who become infected. Vaccinating both sexes has a beneficial impact on chlamydia‐related morbidity, but targeting women is more effective than targeting men. Conclusions.Our findings can be used in laboratory settings to evaluate vaccine candidates in animal models, by regulatory bodies in the promotion of candidates for clinical trials, and by public health authorities in deciding on optimal intervention strategies.
