Latin oboedio: between phonological explanation and diastratic variation

If we accept the origin of oboedio as a compound of ob and audio, the result is completely clear from the semantic point of view but unexpected from the phonological one. In fact, the diphthong oe is not justifid as a result of reduction (it should be *obūdio, like inclūdo and preclūdo from claudo, and defrdo from frudo, etc.) or of other changes. Th phonological hypothesis is mostly founded on reconstruction of the ancient stages of audio, probably from *aṷizdii̯ ō (ób-aṷizdii̯ō > *oboṷizdii̯ō > *oboizdii̯ō > oboedio). Instead, a second explanation considers oboedio a hypercorrected form of an original that has not survived: *obūdio. Ths paper aims to analyse these reconstructions and selects the only one that would seem to yield effctive results. Using evidence from a sociolinguistic perspective, it explains that oboedio contains a form of hypercorrection, probably invented by middleclass speakers, involving the archaizing and ennobling power of the diphthong oe, which the overall conservatism of Latinity, and in particular of some institutions and uses, (law and religion) may have kept alive

Recent trends in immigration into Romania: the case of Asian migrants

openRomania has always been a country of emigration. This thesis tries to shift this perspective and analyze Romania through the lens of immigration. In this sense, a general view of immigration in the communist period up until Romania's ascension to the EU will be given. The focus will fall on its legislation surrounding immigrants, and a broad perspective will be given in relation to the shift that we saw once Romania became an EU member state. The period between 2007 and 2022 will be the main focus of this thesis. A detailed perspective in relation to Asian immigrants in-flow into Romania will be given. Moreover, a brief overview of the reception of said Asian immigrants by the Romanian population will be presented through the analysis of several media outlets. An analysis of questionnaire answers by the Asian immigrant community in Romania will be given in order to determine the reasoning behind their mobility. A media analysis split in two important parts will represent an important chapter of this thesis. The purposes of this thesis are to understand why and how Romania started to become a country of immigration, to search for the main reasons for Asian migrants to choose Romania as a country of destination, to understand the way in which the media paints the immigration phenomenon, and more importantly, how it chooses to present Asian migrants.Romania has always been a country of emigration.

Tunnel and thermal c-axis transport in BSCCO in the normal and pseudogap state

We consider the problem of c-axis transport in double-layered cuprates, in particular with reference to Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+\delta}$ compounds. We exploit the effect of the two barriers on the thermal and tunnel transport. The resulting model is able to describe accurately the normal state c-axis resistivity in Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+\delta}$, from the underdoped side up to the strongly overdoped. We extend the model, without introducing additional parameters, in order to allow for the decrease of the barrier when an external voltage bias is applied. The extended model is found to describe properly the c-axis resistivity for small voltage bias above the pseudogap temperature $T^{*}$, the c-axis resistivity for large voltage bias even below $T_c$, and the differential $dI/dV$ curves taken in mesa structures.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figures.

Mixed-state microwave response in superconducting cuprates

We report measurements of the magnetic-field induced microwave complex resistivity in REBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{7-\delta}$ thin films, with RE = Y, Sm. Measurements are performed at 48 GHz by means of a resonant cavity in the end-wall-replacement configuration. The magnetic field dependence is investigated by applying a moderate (0.8 T) magnetic field along the c-axis. The measured vortex state complex resistivity in YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{7-\delta}$ and SmBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{7-\delta}$ is analyzed within the well-known models for vortex dynamics. It is shown that attributing the observed response to vortex motion alone leads to inconsistencies in the as-determined vortex parameters (such as the vortex viscosity and the pinning constant). By contrast, attributing the entire response to field-induced pair breaking leads to a nearly quantitative description of the data.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, to be published in J.

Anisotropic renormalized fluctuations in the microwave resistivity in YBCO

We discuss the excess conductivity above Tc due to renormalized order-parameter fluctuations in YBCO at microwave frequencies. We calculate the effects of the uniaxial anisotropy on the renormalized fluctuations in the Hartree approximation, extending the isotropic theory developed by Dorsey [Phys. Rev. B 43, 7575 (1991)]. Measurements of the real part of the microwave resistivity at 24 and 48 GHz and of the dc resistivity are performed on different YBCO films. The onset of the superconducting transition and the deviation from the linear temperature behavior above Tc can be fully accounted for by the extended theory. According to the theoretical calculation here presented, a departure from gaussian toward renormalized fluctuations is observed. Very consistent values of the fundamental parameters (critical temperature, coherence lenghts, penetration depth) of the superconducting state are obtained.Comment: RevTex, 8 pages with 5 figures included, to be published in Physical Review

DISEÑO DE DISPOSITIVOS PEDAGÓGICOS E IMPLEMENTACIÓN DE ESTRATEGIAS VINCULADAS A COMPETENCIAS GENERICAS DE INGRESO PARA LA SOCIALIZACIÓN ACADÉMICA DE INGRESANTES

Debido al proceso de reindustrialización que atraviesa la Argentina, el país requiere de mayor cantidad de ingenieros que los que egresan actualmente. En ese sentido para atender a esta necesidad se creó el PEFI (Plan Estratégico para la Formación de Ingenieros) dependiente de la Secretaría de Políticas Universitarias del Ministerio de Educación. El PEFI pretende colocar a la Argentina entre los países con mayor cantidad de graduados en Ingenierías de Latinoamérica, y para ello propone generar un profesional recibido cada cuatro mil habitantes. Esto equivale a 10 mil graduados por año, solamente en ingenierías. Para llevar a cabo esta tarea propone trabajar en tres grandes ejes: Proyecto para la mejora de indicadores académicos, aporte de la universidad al desarrollo territorial sostenible e internacionalización de la ingeniería argentina. En consonancia con el primer eje y dentro del marco del Plan Estratégico llevado adelante por la Dirección de Tutorías y Políticas de Retención perteneciente a la Secretaría Académica de la Facultad Regional Buenos Aires - Universidad Tecnológica Nacional, se desarrolló un plan de mejoras que contempla el diseño de dispositivos pedagógicos para atender a la alfabetización académica de ingresantes partiendo de la definición de ciertos indicadores vinculados a este aspecto, que son evaluados para establecer un diagnóstico y realizar intervenciones estratégicas ajustadas a la demanda de la población. En el presente trabajo, se expondrá el diseño y la implementación de estrategias tendientes a favorecer el trabajo basado en competencias genéricas de ingreso de los estudiantes, con el objeto de mejorar el acompañamiento en la socialización académica de los mismos y colaborar así con propósito del PEFI de alentar la permanencia y terminalidad de graduados de ingeniería. A los fines de esta publicación, se presentarán las etapas de diseño e implementación y una muestra de los indicadores construidos hasta el momento

REACTION OF SOME WALNUT GENOTYPES GROWN IN VÂLCEA AREA AT GNOMONIA LEPTOSTYLA CES. ET DE NOT PATHOGEN ATTACK

The studies were conducted at the Research Fruit  Growing the Station of Valcea, under the climatic conditions of the year 2015 and focused response of walnut cultivars and selections with different origins to the attack the of  Gnomonia leptostyla Ces.et de Not factor causative of the disease called "brown staining of leaves" or "walnut anthracnose." Field observations were carried out at moments of maximum vulnerability to the disease (June and September) and followed up on the attack on leaves and fruits per genotype under natural infection. At the two moments of observation,  it was noted the frequency (F%) and the intensity (I%) of the pathogen attack based on which a was the calculated degree of attack (GA%), the values thereof reflecting the reaction of the cultivars to the attack of the pathogen
