El giro del Concilio: la Santa Sede, los católicos y el comunismo (1959-1978)

La actitud de la Iglesia católica frente al comunismo ha llamado poco la atención de los especialistas en historia religiosa contemporánea. ¿Hay que ver en este relativo desinterés de los historiadores del catolicismo contemporáneo el precio a pagar por una ceguera culpable de la conciencia cristiana inclinada a reconocer, a partir del Concilio Vaticano ii sobre todo, «una parte de verdad» en el humanismo marxista?¿no marcará el Concilio, en efecto, el fin del anticomunismo católico? Después de haber presentado la cuestión del comunismo en el Concilio Vaticano ii, trataremos un doble aspecto: el aspecto intelectual del diálogo con el marxismo en el postconcilio; y el aspecto político de la colaboración de los partidos comunistas en Francia e Italia en el mismo período de tiempo

To critically review the use of screencasts for teaching land surveying

Screencasting tools allow for a screen capture of the actions on a computer screen with accompanying audio. This research initially reviews through the literature how screencasting has been used pedagogically and, through this primary research, the application of an existing screencast called Screencast-O-Matic and feedback from students from both Construction Management and Geospatial Surveying Undergraduate Programmes of TU Dublin, where and how it could be deployed for the surveying classes and fieldwork during the pandemic situation. This research occurred when all Irish third-level institutions lectures and tutorials moved online, and access to survey equipment for fieldwork was severely reduced. The paper concludes with a reflection on how some of the practices put in place due to the current pandemic situation would benefit when face to face classes resume. During surveying projects, several steps were identified during which students encountered a bottleneck in their learning. As screencasts provide unsupervised access to teaching materials, a series of screencasts was created as online support and incorporated into our VLE (Virtual Learning Environment); this included video tutorials on how to set up and use surveying equipment, as well as screencasts showing how to process and perform calculations of recorded survey data. Results from students being subsequently surveyed through an online questionnaire showed that the vast majority found the videos helpful or very helpful in explaining how much they knew or did not know about the material and liked the format as a complement to the weekly recorded lectures. The survey also revealed a variety of learning habits and styles within the class. Those findings are consistent with previous research, which highlight that screencasting facilitates learning for the diversity of learners. Veedbacks, or video feedback, provided students feedback on various assignments, such as fieldwork projects and online examinations. A series of semi-structured interviews revealed that students found the veedbacks a valuable complement to the feedback process by better understanding how they could improve their subsequent assignments. Grades for both undergraduate classes were compared with those from previous pre-Covid classes, with a significantly higher mark for students who used screencasts as an online tool. Moreover, several students surveyed suggested that screencast videos, particularly those involving calculations, should be incorporated as online support when face-to-face classes resume. Based on these findings and their own experience in creating screencasts, lecturers in this study believe that screencasting provides a means to build support material relatively quickly for feedback, tutorials and teaching material and is a helpful complement to both online and face to face classes.

Quand les temps anciens résonnent en ville : étude de cas sur le rituel de la Pabasa pratiqué par la diaspora des Philippines à Montréal

Nous allons étudier la manière dont une communauté utilise les spécificités de sa culture et les restes de ses anciennes croyances pour permettre une meilleure adaptation des individus qui la compose à des situations et des contexte variés. Dans cette étude, nous nous sommes penchés sur la diaspora des Philippines de la ville de Montréal et sur le processus migratoire qui les a conduits dans cette métropole. Pour ce faire, nous allons prendre comme exemple le rituel de la Pabasa, mis en place par les Espagnols lors de la colonisation des îles de l’archipel des Philippines, lequel est encore aujourd’hui pratiqué à Montréal et tenter d’analyser comment ce rituel construit une nouvelle tradition ancrée dans la communauté. Nous allons nous interroger sur la façon dont cette pratique contribue au vivre ensemble. Notre mémoire comprendra plusieurs parties consacrées respectivement à : une série de repères sur la Pasyon et la Pabasa, la description de la collecte de nos données, une formulation de nos hypothèses issues de cette collecte sur le terrain, et un exposé de notre cadre théorique. Suivront ensuite dans l’ordre : le premier chapitre, présentant l’histoire de l’archipel et de sa communauté ainsi que le phénomène migratoire de celle-ci. Le second chapitre porte sur notre enquête de terrain et de la Pabasa. Le troisième et dernier chapitre, dans lequel nous confrontons notre cadre théorique à l’analyse des données issues de ce terrain.Music, adaptation capacity, living together capacity. We hereby observe and analyze how a community may use its own traditions, its archaic beliefs, to engage a process which optimize the individual and general adaptability to present contexts, i.e. the immigration in Montréal. How the Pabasa, a ritual that was created by the Spanish during the colonization of the archipelago was, and still is today in Montréal, the way throughout the tradition transforms itself? And, how does this process contribute to or even achieves a living together ? Our dissertation will include several parts devoted respectively to: a series of benchmarks on the Pasyon and the Pabasa, the description of the collect of our data, a formulation of our hypotheses resulting from this collection in the field, and a presentation of our theoretical framework. Then will follow: the first chapter, presenting the history of the archipelago and its community and the migratory phenomenon of it. The second chapter is about the field and the Pabasa. Inside of the third and last chapter, we confront our theoretical framework to the analysis of data from this field

Antimicrobial susceptibility of periodontopathogenic bacteria

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the resistance profiles of Aggregatibacter (Actinobacillus) actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis and Prevotella intermedia/Prevotella nigrescens and to detect possible changes in antibiotic resistance over the time period of 1991-2005. Methods A. actinomycetemcomitans (125 strains), P. gingivalis (152 strains) and P. intermedia/P. nigrescens (326 strains) isolated during the years 1991-2005 were tested for their susceptibility to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, clindamycin, metronidazole, phenoxymethylpenicillin and tetracycline using the Etest. Results No antibiotic resistance was detected in P. gingivalis, whereas a few isolates of P. intermedia were not susceptible to clindamycin (0.9%), phenoxymethylpenicillin (13.5%) or tetracycline (12.6%). Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, tetracycline and metronidazole were the most effective antibiotics against A. actinomycetemcomitans with 0%, 0.8% and 20.8% non-susceptible isolates, respectively. However, 88% of the A. actinomycetemcomitans isolates were non-susceptible to phenoxymethylpenicillin and 88% to clindamycin. When strains isolated in the years 1991-94 were compared with those isolated in the years 2001-04, there was no statistically significant difference in the percentage of A. actinomycetemcomitans strains non-susceptible to clindamycin, metronidazole or phenoxymethylpenicillin, or in the percentage of P. intermedia strains non-susceptible to phenoxymethylpenicillin or tetracycline (P > 0.4 each). Conclusions Increasing antibiotic resistances in periodontopathogenic bacteria are not yet a problem in the Northern part of Switzerlan

Paolo VI e la libertà religiosa

Religious freedom is one of the topics on which Pope Paul VI spoke most often during the Second Vatican Council. His great concern was to preserve the unity of the Church by seeking maximum consensus between the Council Fathers. However, the texts of the Council might seem to have been going against the grain of papal teaching over the previous two hundred years. After presenting Giovanni Battista Montini’s thinking on religious freedom, this article documents his contribution to the declaration Dignitatis Humanae, and then moves on to explore its reception in the papal teachings of the post-conciliar period.La libertad religiosa es uno de los argumentos sobre los que más veces ha intervenido Pablo VI durante el Concilio. Su gran preocupación era preservar la unidad de la Iglesia buscando el máximo consenso entre los padres conciliares. ¿No parecía, en realidad, que el texto iba en contra de la enseñanza de los papas de los dos últimos siglos? Después de presentar el pensamiento de Giovanni Battista Montini sobre la libertad religiosa, el artículo documenta la contribución de Pablo vi a la elaboración de la declaración Dignitatis Humanae para después interesarse por su recepción en el magisterio pontificio posterior al Concilio Vaticano II

AERODYNAMIC DAMPING PREDICTIONS DURING COMPRESSOR SURGE: A NUMERICAL COMPARISON BETWEEN A HALF AND FULL TRANSIENT APPROACH

The prediction of the aerodynamic damping during compressor surge is a challenging task, because the flow is continuously evolving along the four surge cycle phases: Pressurization (PR), Flow-Breakdown (FB), Reversed Flow (RF) and Regeneration (RG) and complex flow conditions like shocks and separations occur. Damping predictions with current existing methods typically consist of two steps. In the first step a modified numerical model is used to simulate transient surge cycles. In the second step, damping analyses are performed for multiple timesteps along the surge cycle phases, which are then assumed as quasi-steady. The damping simulation can be performed using nonlinear or linear approaches. If shocks or separations occur, the latter yields inaccuracies in the flow and thus in the damping predictions. A new approach was developed to take into account and improve these inaccuracies. This new method includes the damping prediction within the transient surge simulation. Thus, all surge cycle phases and the continuously evolving flow conditions are considered and nonlinear simulations are performed to account for shocks and separations. The results of this new method are presented and compared to the former method

Armagh Observatory: Historic Building Information Modelling for Virtual Learning in Building Conservation

In this paper the recording and design for a Virtual Reality Immersive Model of Armagh Observatory is presented, which will replicate the historic buildings and landscape with distant meridian markers and position of its principal historic instruments within a model of the night sky showing the position of bright stars. The virtual reality model can be used for educational purposes allowing the instruments within the historic building model to be manipulated within 3D space to demonstrate how the position measurements of stars were made in the 18th century. A description is given of current student and researchers activities concerning on-site recording and surveying and the virtual modelling of the buildings and landscape. This is followed by a design for a Virtual Reality Immersive Model of Armagh Observatory use game engine and virtual learning platforms and concepts
