The First Decades of Argentinian Radiodrama: Disputes in the Construction of an Acting Identity
El radioteatro fue el fenómeno que revolucionó el campo cultural en los años 30 en Argentina. Confluyeron en él artistas de toda índole, ampliando el mercado laboral en un contexto de crisis económica y alta conflictividad social. Ahora bien, durante la década del 30 y parte del 40, el radioteatro cosechó un sinnúmero de críticas que visibilizaron las concepciones arraigadas en la sociedad sobre el arte, la cultura, el rol de los medios y los artistas. Nos preguntamos, entonces, ¿qué sucedía con la legitimidad y la profesionalización de estos artistas en un período de explosión de industrias culturales? ¿Cómo se posicionaron los sindicatos que los representaban frente al fenómeno radioteatral? Apelando a conceptos teóricos desarrollados por Mauro (2014a, 2014b, 2018a, 2018b), Pellettieri (2002) y Bourdieu (1967, 2000) y analizando los discursos que circularon en el campo cultural argentino del momento, este trabajo se propone dar cuenta no sólo de los prejuicios y las dificultades que afrontaron lxs profesionales de la actuación en un momento crucial de su propia historia como colectivo, sino también la proyección que ciertas concepciones aún poseen, atentando contra la autopercepción de lxs mismxs en tanto trabajadorxs de la cultura.Radio drama was a phenomenon which revolutionised the cultural field in Argentina’s 1930s. Artists of all sorts converged, expanding the labour field in a context of economic crisis and social unrest. However, during the 1930s and part of the 1940s, radio drama was roundly criticised, thus showing society’s deeply rooted conceptions regarding art, culture, the role of the media and artists. We ask ourselves, then, what happened with the legitimacy and the professionalization of artists in a period of cultural explosion? How did their unions face the radio drama phenomenon? Following theoretical concepts developed by Mauro (2014a, 2014b, 2018a, 2018b), Pellettieri (2002) and Bourdieu (1967, 2000) and analising the discourses that circulated through Argentina’s cultural field of the time, this paper aims to shed light not only on the prejudice and obstacles faced by acting professionals at a turning point in their history as a collective, but also on the projection that some conceptions still have, acting against cultural workers’ self-perception
Polarization Singular Structure of Laser Images of Stratified Phase Inhomogeneous Layers for the Diagnostics and Classification of their Optical Properties
Presented in this work are the results of investigation aimed at analysis of coordinate distri
butions for azimuths and ellipticity of polarization (polarization maps) in laser images of three types
of phase inhomogeneous layers, namely: rough, ground and bulk scattering layers. To characterize
polarization maps for all the types of phase inhomogeneous layers, the authors have offered to use
three groups of parameters: statistical moments of the first to the fourth orders, autocorrelation func
tions and logarithmic dependences for power spectra related to distributions of azimuths and ellipticity
of polarization inherent to phase inhomogeneous layers laser images. Ascertained are the criteria for
diagnostics and classification of phase inhomogeneous layers optical properties
How to Select Correct Test Cases for Automated Testing
I am planning to cite down a few important points based on my experience how to select the correct test cases for automation and determine various other factors that will produce better test results and benefits

The influence of barefoot and barefoot inspired footwear on the kinetics and kinematics of running in comparison to conventional running shoes.
Barefoot running has experienced a resurgence in footwear biomechanics literature, based on the supposition that it serves to reduce the occurrence of overuse injuries in comparison to conventional shoe models. This consensus has lead footwear manufacturers to develop shoes which aim to mimic the mechanics of barefoot locomotion.
This study compared the impact kinetics and 3-D joint angular kinematics observed whilst running: barefoot, in conventional cushioned running shoes and in shoes designed to integrate the perceived benefits of barefoot locomotion. The aim of the current investigation was therefore to determine whether differences in impact kinetics exist between the footwear conditions and whether shoes which aim to simulate barefoot movement patterns can closely mimic the 3-D kinematics of barefoot running.
Twelve participants ran at 4.0 m.s-1±5% in each footwear condition. Angular joint kinematics from the hip, knee and ankle in the sagittal, coronal and transverse planes were measured using an eight camera motion analysis system. In addition simultaneous tibial acceleration and ground reaction forces were obtained. Impact parameters and joint kinematics were subsequently compared using repeated measures ANOVAs.
The kinematic analysis indicates that in comparison to the conventional and barefoot inspired shoes that running barefoot was associated significantly greater plantar-flexion at footstrike and range of motion to peak dorsiflexion. Furthermore, the kinetic analysis revealed that compared to the conventional footwear impact parameters were significantly greater in the barefoot condition.
Therefore this study suggests that barefoot running is associated with impact kinetics linked to an increased risk of overuse injury, when compared to conventional shod running. Furthermore, the mechanics of the shoes which aim to simulate barefoot movement patterns do not appear to closely mimic the kinematics of barefoot locomotion
