The lost gardens of the Palace of Meirás (Pazo de Meirás), a journey through time

The Pazo de Meirás (Meirás Palace) is a vast historical and artistic heritage complex with a great cultural and political importance in the recent history of Spain, being one of the most recognizable buildings for the Spanish people nowadays. Therefore, the current conservation status of the gardens has been assessed through the reconstruction of its historical evolution. Originally, the Pazo de Meirás and its gardens were built linked to the artistic and romantic style imprint of the outstanding writer Countess Emilia Pardo Bazán (1856­–1921). The gardens experienced their greatest splendor during this period. In fact, the historical floral diversity of the gardens, with a total of 154 recorded taxa, is among the highest in Galician manor houses. However, the context of the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) involved a drastic change: the palace became the summer residence of the head of the Spanish state, General Francisco Franco (1938–1975). Despite subsequent neglect and a fire in 1978, the estate’s intrinsic value led to its return to the Spanish State in 2020. Currently, the gardens could constitute a significant cultural asset linked to the Countess of Pardo Bazán and to the socio-political changes that took place in Spain during the 20th century.

Darkened Cinema of Elvira Notari

In recent years, a process of historical revision (by way of re-evaluating archival materials) has uncovered the stories of silent cinema’s women pioneers, whose legacies and contributions had previously gone uncredited. Amongst these figures is Elvira Notari, Italy’s first woman director and production company founder. Her taking on of different roles led to a rich production catalogue of which only a few traces remain. In examining the features and contexts of Notari’s cinema, and the causes for its subsequent neglect, this paper argues for her central importance in Italian cinema as a director and considers how her omission from the archives can be addressed.

Gavin Bone and his Old English Translations

This article examines the verse translations of various shorter Old English poems and of Beowulf by the Oxford scholar Gavin Bone (1907–1942), mainly published posthumously. It provides a biographical account of him, before going on assess his introductions to Anglo-Saxon Poetry (1943) and Beowulf (1945). It further describes the various techniques Bone used in his translations, the lexical and metrical forms he employed, and their relative degrees of success. The article also considers the illustrations Bone created to accompany his Beowulf translation. It concludes with an examination of the afterlife and subsequent neglect of Bone's translations.

Caregiver Neurotic Personality Trait and Elder Abuse—The Moderating Role of Change in the Level of Caregiver Burden

Objectives: To investigate whether caregiver neuroticism has an effect on subsequent occurrence of elder abuse and whether change in the level of caregiver perceived burden alters this relationship. Methods: Using two-year longitudinal data, we analyzed a consecutive sample of 800 Chinese family caregivers and their care recipients with dementia recruited from the geriatric and neurological departments of three Grade-A hospitals in People’s Republic of China (PRC). All the participatory dyads were assessed between September 2015 and February 2016 and followed for two years. Results: Significant increase in the prevalence was found for physical and psychological abuse, caregiver neglect, and financial exploitation. Caregivers high in neuroticism were more likely to engage in subsequent physical and psychological abuse, however, change in the level of caregiver perceived burden altered this association. Specifically, absence and alleviation of care burden during the two-year observation prevented the subsequent occurrence of physical and psychological abuse. Although caregiver neuroticism was also associated with subsequent caregiver neglect, caregiver perceived burden did not appear to have an impact on this relationship. Discussion: This study provided evidence that caregiver neuroticism was associated with subsequent physical and psychological abuse, while change in the level of caregiver perceived burden may alter this trajectory. These findings suggest the importance of implementing caregiver-centered intervention and prevention programs for elder abuse by specifically targeting at caregivers’ behaviors related to their neurotic personality trait and cognitive appraisal of caregiving stressors associated with such personality trait.

Witanowski’s discovery - and how its early misinterpretation and subsequent neglect continue to impede scientific progress and insight

W.R. Witanowski isolated and characterized the naphthoquinone ramentaceone from Drosera rotundifolia in 1934 and named the compound droserone. This constitutes the first publication that described the correct detailed structure of the main naphthoquinone in a sundew species, the first publication that identified ramentaceone as a natural product, and the first publication to introduce the name droserone for this naphthoquinone. Nevertheless, none of these facts is reflected appropriately in the literature until now. This prompts a reappraisal.

Role of Chitosan In Lymphoedema

Lymphoedema is a chronic problem with various skin changes that lead to impaired care for the affected limb. These skin changes also lead to recurrent infections. The difficulty in care and the subsequent neglect leads to further spread of the infection and increased risk of future infections. Prevention of infections and prevention of progress of the skin changes is one of the main components of the treatment of the lymphoedema. There are various materials available to enhance the healing of the knobs and fissures secondary to lymphoedema. We would like to present our case report on the usage of chitosan in a patient with stage 7 skin changes of lymphedema.

In order to understand how the relationship between public health policies of the elderly and their effectiveness withthe population occurs, we analyze the public policies focused on the health of the elderly, their laws, compliance andeffectiveness with the population. This research project was carried out through a bibliographical research and a field survey,carried out in two spaces, one public and one private, with (n) sample equal to 10 elderly people in each space visited. Weperformed a general anamnesis where the following variables were collected: gender, age, weekly frequency and effects fromphysical exercise practice. We performed an anamnesis to detect preexisting diseases such as: diabetics, hypertension, andbody pains from joint inflammation (arthritis, arthrosis, rheumatism, fibromyalgia) and / or spine. We observed the followingresults: 20-30% of the sample in the two spaces were diabetic, 50-70% hypertensive, 70-100% presented body pains, age 60-75,women became 90% of public space visitors and 80% of the participants in the private space, the sample reported attending thespaces from 1 to 5 times a week and 100% of the sample reported having obtained some kind of benefit through physicalexercise, the lower percentiles refer to the private space , which as observed has lower pathological indexes than the public. Therelationship between the public health policies of the elderly and their effectiveness with the population occurs in a promotionalway, with subsequent public neglect.

H.G. Stoker’s Study of Conscience, Its Reception, and Its Significance as a Work in the Reformed Tradition

AbstractI begin by summarizing Stoker’s study of conscience in Das Gewissen. Then I contrast the initial acclaim it received from well-known phenomenologists with its subsequent undeserved neglect. One reason for the neglect, I surmise, is the waning of general interest in phenomenological approaches. Other reasons include Stoker’s relative isolation in South Africa, declining interest in Christian approaches to philosophy, and Calvinist concerns about the influence of Bavinck’s scholasticism and Scheler’s phenomenological method on Stoker. I argue that none of these reasons justifies the present neglect of Stoker’s magisterial work and its seminal insights.

CFD simulation of bubbling fluidized beds using a local-structure-dependent drag model

Conventional drag models coupled with a two-fluid model (TFM) are subject to certain restrictions on the predictions of the hydrodynamic behaviors in bubbling fluidized beds with fine particles, owing to the lack of scale resolution and the subsequent neglect of the impact of the meso-scale structure on gas-solid interaction. In this work, a local control volume is resolved into three sub-systems (i.e., the emulsion phase, bubble phase, and interphase) by implementing a designed route of scale resolution. Then, a local-structure-dependent (LSD) drag model based on the energy-minimization multi-scale (EMMS) theory is developed to account for the dependence of the drag force on the meso-scale structure. The LSD drag model is solved using a genetic algorithm and the obtained heterogeneous drag forces are integrated with the TFM to simulate the hydrodynamic behaviors in bubbling fluidized beds for different gas-solid systems. Consequently, the proposed drag model is validated to provide satisfying predictions of the fluidizations of Geldart A, A/B, and B particles. Furthermore, bubble diameters obtained from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are compared with those obtained from the empirical or semi-empirical correlations. The results indicate that the LSD drag model can capture the gas-solid hydrodynamics in a bubbling fluidized bed.

‘The Last Man Left to Tell the Tale’: Challenging the Conciliation Master Narrative in Van Diemen’s Land

James Gravenor, a convict servant on George Augustus Robinson’s ‘friendly mission’ to the Aboriginal Tasmanians in the early 1830s, later published a long-overlooked description of the process of ‘decoying’ Aboriginal people into captivity. This article uses Gravenor’s testimony to explore this ‘decoy’ phenomenon, resituating Aboriginal Tasmanians in the wider processes of capture during the ‘friendly mission’ expeditions. By reflecting on Gravenor’s relationship with historical narratives formulated during his lifetime, and his subsequent neglect by scholars, this article also offers a critique and reassessment of a ‘master narrative’ of Tasmanian frontier history that largely derived from and survived well beyond the 1870s.

Climate Change and Sinking Ethical Endeavours

This paper endeavours to question the politicisation of ethical responsibility and its subsequent neglect so as to favour the interests of developed nations. The paper sets forth a critical overview of the Paris agreement initiating with discussion of different theories on climate change, and then move on to analyse the pros and cons of the Paris agreement. Finally, it provides a reflection on India’s stand and intentions in climate change agreement. The paper would conclude by arguing that ethical framework must run parallel with the analysis of underlying structures that trigger actions and international agreements.

Consciousness and Amnesia

After the decimation of the urban fabric resulting from the 1963 earthquake, Skopje, the capital of Macedonia, became a center of town planning and architectural activity. The aftermath response was unprecedented, with eighty-five countries offering aid and thirty-five nations raising Skopje to a priority status within the United Nations (UN). The acclaimed Japanese architect, Kenzo Tange, was awarded first prize in the subsequent UN competition for the reconstruction master plan and was asked to work with the second prize winners, Zagreb firm Miscevic and Wenzler. The design and rebuilding produced one of the greatest collaborative and visionary realizations of a complete city concept undertaken in history. Yet, the significance of Skopje’s reconstruction has slipped from architectural consciousness. “Actor network theory” (ANT) offers insights into the social dynamics of large-scale projects and provides a lens by which to investigate five features of the reconstruction of Skopje: (1) the social process, including problematization, interessement, enrollment, and mobilization; (2) the key participants; (3) the project scale; (4) artifacts; and (5) project duration. ANT proves to be a useful tool for understanding both the heroic achievement and the subsequent neglect of Skopje reconstructed.

Narrating the Tennessee Land: Real Property, Fictional Land, and Mark Twain’s Literary Enterprise

In the center of Roughing It, in the fortieth of the book’s seventy-nine chapters, Mark Twain gives a very prominent place to the episode of the “blind lead.” With masterfully paced suspense, he recounts the moment when he and his partner—Calvin Higbie, the man to whom he dedicates the book—examine the rock from the Wide West mine. After Higbie’s trained eye observes something suspicious, he makes a clandestine descent into the well-guarded shaft of the Wide West claim and confirms what his examination of the rock had told him. The shaft had more than one vein running through it, and the blind lead—a vein that never exposes itself at the surface and consequently is only discovered by accident—contains ore of a distinctly different character than that in the Wide West vein and thus it is not protected by the Wide West claim. In addition to the episode’s remarkable composition, drawn so artfully that it gives us Twain’s measure as a writer more than as a miner, this account alludes to peculiarities of the laws of mining rights; a special quirk of the rules of mining claims enables Twain and Higbie to stake their own claim on the blind lead, and their subsequent neglect of their responsibility to perform work on the claim within a specified period results in the loss of their rights to the claim. Before all goes wrong, though, the two men fantasize about the opulent lives that await them. They discuss their plans to visit Europe (a trip that

Política Macroeconómica para el Desarrollo

The international financial crisis which was detonated in 2008-2009 shook the pattern of growth in the global economy and, by other important, challenged the macroeconomic policy. The new questions, some originated between experts from institutions identified with economic orthodoxy, are joining in the criticism already since some time ago from the structuralist perspectives and the heterodox to conventional macroeconomic policy applied in Latin America during 1980 and 1990. A critical element of common and important is the wrong emphasis given by macroeconomic policy in use in the stabilization of nominal variables such as inflation and the fiscal deficit, and subsequent neglect, or much lower priority, the performance of real variables such as the evolution of productive activity and employment as well as the macro effects of the financial intermediation. The purpose of the present work is based on some of the main criticisms made from both perspectives, identify the elements that you must have a policy for macroeconomic development.

Creating the cultures of the future: cultural strategy, policy and institutions in Gramsci

Gramsci’s writings have rarely been discussed and used systematically by scholars in cultural policy studies, despite the fact that in cultural studies, from which the field emerged, Gramsci had been a major source of theoretical concepts. Cultural policy studies were, in fact, theorised as an anti-Gramscian project between the late 1980s and the early 1990s, when a group of scholars based in Australia advocated a major political and theoretical reorientation of cultural studies away from hegemony theory and radical politicisation, and towards reformist–technocratic engagement with the policy concerns of contemporary government and business. Their criticism of the ‘Gramscian tradition’ as inadequate for the study of cultural policy and institutions has remained largely unexamined in any detail for almost 20 years and seems to have had a significant role in the subsequent neglect of Gramsci’s contribution in this area of study. This essay, consisting of three parts, is an attempt to challenge such criticism and provide an analysis of Gramsci’s writings, with the aim of proposing a more systematic contribution of Gramsci’s work to the theoretical development of cultural policy studies. In Part I, I question the use of the notion of ‘Gramscian tradition’ made by its critics, and challenge the claim that it was inadequate for the study of cultural policy and institutions. In Parts II and III, I consider Gramsci’s specific writings on questions of cultural strategy, policy and institutions, which have so far been overlooked by scholars, arguing that they provide further analytical insights to those offered by his more general concepts. More specifically, in Part II, I consider Gramsci’s pre-prison writings and political practice in relation to questions of cultural strategy and institutions. I argue that the analysis of these early texts, which were written in the years in which Gramsci was active in party organisation and leadership, is fundamental not only for understanding the nature of Gramsci’s early and continued involvement with questions of cultural strategy and institutions, but also as a key for deciphering and interpreting cultural policy themes that he later developed in the prison notebooks, and which originated in earlier debates. Finally, in Part III, I carry out a detailed analysis of Gramsci’s prison notes on questions of cultural strategy, policy and institutions, which enrich the theoretical underpinnings for critical frameworks of analysis as well as for radical practices of cultural strategy, cultural policy-making and cultural organisation. I then answer the question of whether Gramsci’s insights amount to a theory of cultural policy.

Intimate Partner Violence and Risk for Child Neglect during Early Childhood in a Community Sample of Fragile Families

The current study explores the relationship between child neglect and intimate partner violence (IPV) in a longitudinal community sample of 1,740 families with young children, with a special focus on the association between specific typologies of both neglect behaviors and IPV. We focused on families followed across early childhood, because infants and toddlers are at the greatest risk of exposure to neglect (the most prevalent type of child maltreatment), and this period spanning the transition to parenthood presents heightened risk for IPV. We found evidence that coercive IPV is an important driver of the connections between IPV and subsequent neglect through affecting the mother’s well-being and ability to provide basic care and nurturance. Implications for intervention and future work addressing definitions and pathways to neglect are discussed.

Risk and protective factors for child neglect during early childhood: A cross-study comparison

The present analysis relies upon data from three separate longitudinal studies to identify risk and protective factors associated with subsequent neglect during early childhood. All three studies (Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing [FFCW]; Healthy Families New York [HFNY]; Illinois Families Study-Child Wellbeing [IFS]) involve probabilistic samples or subsamples of low-income families with young children. Multivariate logistic regressions predicting official reports of investigated neglect allegations and a dichotomous indicator of neglect from the Parent–child Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS-PC) were conducted separately for each study, using common sets of predictors derived from baseline or initial survey waves. Across the three studies, consistencies emerged with respect to the predictors of both neglect outcomes. Specifically, consistencies emerged related to indicators of economic resources and hardships, parent well-being, and parenting. Understanding the predictors of child neglect is of critical importance to the development of child maltreatment prevention strategies since a clearer understanding of the risk and protective factors associated with neglect would enable more effectively targeted and tailored interventions.

Items deposited in the archives of theNobel Litera ture Prize are closed to researchers for the following fiftyyears, which makes me hope that Marchenko will shortlybe able topublish a really detailed study of the background to the award of thisPrize to Boris Pasternak. Department ofSlavonic Studies UniversityofGlasgow Martin Dewhirst Taylor, Philip S. Anton Rubinstein:A Life in Music. Russian Music Studies. Indiana University Press. Bloomington and Indianapolis, 2007. xxv + 340 pp. Illustration. Figures. Appendices. Notes. Bibliography. Index. $39-95 It is an instructive irony that, if the figure of Anton Rubinstein is at all known tous today, it is most likely tobe in the form ofJulius Klesmer, George Eliot's fictional representation of theRussian composer-pianist in thatmost self-consciouslymusical of all her novels, Daniel Deronda (1876): 'Ah, here comes Herr Klesmer,' said Mrs Arrowpoint, rising; and presently bring inghim toGwendolen she leftthem to a dialogue which was agreeable on both sides, Herr Klesmer being a felicitous combination of the German, the Sclave, and the Semite, with grand features, brown hair floating in artistic fashion, and brown eyes in spectacles.His English had littleforeignnessexcept itsfluency; and his alarming cleverness was made less formidable just then by a certain softening air of silliness which will sometimesbefall evenGenius in thedesire ofbeing agreeable to Beauty. [???] Herr Klesmer played a composition of his own, a fantasia called Freudvoll, Liedvoll, Gedankenvoll ? an extensive commentary on some melodic ideas not too grossly evident; and he certainly fetched as much variety and depth of passion out of the piano as that moderately responsive instrument lends itself to, having an imperious magic in his fingers that seemed to send a nerve-thrill through ivory key and wooden hammer, and compel the strings tomake a quivering lingering speech for him. (Book 1,Chapter 5) The myth of Rubinstein is almost entirely present here: the combined German, Russian and Jewish heritage; the commanding social figure (not to mention his powerful effect on susceptible women); the composer of pieces designed to impress, yet not too much; the imposing performer whose only rival at the piano was Liszt himself. Yet for all the zeal that today's Russian conductors bring to the promotion of their nation's composers, Rubinstein figures but rarely on concert programmes and in opera houses, if at all. Devotees of chamber music are equally unlikely to hear any Rubinstein, although in this regard, posterity has been better servedwith four discs of his solo piano music recorded forHyperion by Leslie Howard (who provides the foreword to thisvolume). At the end of this stupendously detailed biography, Philip S. Taylor specu lateswhether the time has come for 'amajor r??valuation ofRubinstein as a composer' (p. 238). If any book can promote thispossibility, then surely it is this one. To be sure, Taylor is not blind to the shortcomings of much of REVIEWS 545 Rubinstein's oeuvre,arguing thatmuch of the reason for his contemporary success? and his subsequent neglect ? was based on c[h]is repudiation of Wagnernism, his nostalgic harking back to the era of sentimental romanticism, and his innate conservatism', all of which 'must have seemed to many a sober ing antidote to contemporary excesses' (p. 156).Hostility (ifnot downright antisemitism) on the part of the nationalists, very much the victors in the battle for the historiography of Russian music, also played its part in the rapid posthumous decline in interest in his works, as would Soviet indiffer ence. Yet Taylor writes with real conviction about certain of Rubinstein's works, and ifwe see more performances of, say, the second symphony (subti?ed The Ocean), the twelve song-settings ofMirza Schafiy, or certain of themyriad chamber works, then critics and readers will know where to turn in order to learn more about their composer. Granted, Taylor writes little about the specific details of Rubinstein's works: there is just one musical example (a comparison of a figure from the opera, Demon, with a similar one from Chaikovskii's Evgenii Onegin); and themany operas are dispatched with pithy summaries of plot and character (although more detailed synopses of Die Kinder derHaider, Demon, Die Maccab?er, N?ron and Kupets Kalashnikov...

RESEARCH ON TIMBER FRAME BUILDINGS IN PANAMA CITY

From the very beginning of Panama's republican period Spanish heritage has been the “face” of Panamanian cultural heritage, at least for the country's elite. This image of Panamanian heritage was based on the remains of a greater colonial past in the face of foreign pressure. Indirectly this situation caused an imbalance in the perception of the heritage value of architecture, favoring rubble masonry buildings over timber construction with the subsequent neglect of the latter, a situation that today affects the integrity of Panama City's historic district as a world heritage site.

Claude Marcel (1793–1876): A Neglected Applied Linguist?

This article contributes to the as yet underexplored field of applied linguistic historiography by surveying the life and achievements of Claude Marcel (1793–1876), author of a two-volume study of language education published in London in 1853 under the title Language as a Means of Mental Culture and International Communication. The question of whether Marcel was an applied linguist 'avant la lettre' is addressed, as are possible reasons for the contemporary and subsequent neglect of his work. It is suggested that the identification of precursors depends on one's view of the nature of applied linguistics, and that there are alternatives to a linguistics-focused conception. Indeed, a consideration of Marcel's writings — and the contemporary and subsequent neglect of them — highlights the way language teaching theory has tended, for the last 120 years or more, to be dominated by linguistic much more than educational considerations.
