La poesía de Tomás Quintero
No full textThe poetry of Tomás Quintero (Santiago de Cali, Colombia, 1945-1978) is not known among most of the Colombian poets. It has not been published in any renown national anthology. This is not because of a lack of poetic quality, but due to the lesser known nature of his work. The following article is critical attempts to analyze his poetry, with the purpose of subtract it from some form of silence and oblivion. The article address the poetic contexts, the thematic, conceptual and formal foundations through which Tomás Quintero raised his poetics.La poesía de Tomás Quintero (Santiago de Cali, Colombia, 1945- 1978) no es conocida entre la mayoría de los críticos literarios colombianos. De hecho, no ha sido publicado en ninguna antología nacional de renombre, no por falta de calidad poética, sino por el desconocimiento de su obra. En ese sentido, el siguiente artículo es un intento crítico de analizar su poesía, con el propósito de reivindicarla y sustraerla del silencio y el olvido. Para ello abordaremos los contextos poéticos, así como los cimientos temáticos, conceptuales y formales a través de los cuales Tomás Quintero construyó su poética

Built Heritage documentation and management: an integrated conservation approach in Bagan
No full textGood practices in heritage conservation are based on accurate information about conditions, materials, and transformation of built heritage sites. Therefore, heritage site documentation and its analysis are essential parts for their conservation. In addition, the devastating effects of recent catastrophic events in different geographical areas have highly affected cultural heritage places. Such areas include and are not limited to South Europe, South East Asia, and Central America. Within this framework, appropriate acquisition of information can effectively provide tools for the decision-making process and management. Heritage documentation is growing in innovation, providing dynamic opportunities for effectively responding to the alarming rate of destruction by natural events, conflicts, and negligence. In line with these considerations, a multidisciplinary team – including students and faculty members from Carleton University and Yangon Technological University, as well as staff from the Department of Archaeology, National Museum and Library (DoA) and professionals from the CyArk foundation – developed a coordinated strategy to document four temples in the site of Bagan (Myanmar). On-field work included capacity-building activities to train local emerging professionals in the heritage field (graduate and undergraduate students from the Yangon Technological University) and to increase the technical knowledge of the local DoA staff in the digital documentation field. Due to the short time of the on-field activity and the need to record several monuments, a variety of documentation techniques, including image and non-image based ones, were used. Afterwards, the information acquired during the fieldwork was processed to develop a solid base for the conservation and monitoring of the four documented temples. The relevance of developing this kind of documentation in Bagan is related to the vulnerability of the site, often affected by natural seismic events and flooding, as well as the lack of maintenance. Bagan provided an excellent case study to test the effectiveness of the proposed approach, to prevent and manage the damages of catastrophic events, and to support retrofitting actions. In order to test the flexibility of adopted methodology and workflow, temples with different features – in terms of architectural design, shape, and geometry – were selected. The goals of these documentation activities range from testing digital documentation workflows for the metric and visual recording of the site (reviewing strengths and limitations of particular recording techniques), to the definition of effective conditions assessment strategies

CAPACITY BUILDING FOR PREPAREDNESS AND RISK MANAGEMENT: AN INTEGRATED APPROACH FOR BAGAN BUILT HERITAGE
No full textAccording to the global assessment report on disaster risk reduction, prepared in 2015 by the United Nation Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, the economic losses resulting from disasters has been calculated to be about $250-300 billion per year. This situation clearly evidences the importance of developing effective documentation strategies able to support the reduction and preparedness ex ante and ex post catastrophic events. Appropriate acquisition of information can effectively provide tools for decision-making process, risk preparedness and management. This information has to take into consideration different aspects including: geometry, shape, color, building materials, construction systems, relative building condition, patterns of past repair and cultural aspects. In line with these considerations a multidisciplinary team - including students and faculty members from Carleton University and Yangon Technological University, as well as staff from the Department of Archeology, National Museum and Library (DoA) and professionals from the CyArk foundation - developed a coordinated strategy to document four temples in the site of Bagan (Myanmar). The information acquired during the field work has been processed in order to elaborate a solid base for the conservation and monitoring of the documented temples. The site of Bagan, strongly affected by several seismic events and other natural hazards, provided an excellent case study to test the effectiveness of the proposed approach, to prevent and manage the damages of catastrophic events and to support retrofitting actions. The research was articulated into three phases. The first phase consisted in setting up a documentation methodology to identify, prioritize and mitigate on-going disturbances and threats to the Bagan built heritage. Within this context, advanced 3D photogrammetric and Laser Scanning techniques as well as Electronic Distance Meter Measurement (EDM) applications for recording the "as found condition" have been experimented on the field. At the same time a detailed assessment of the conditions of the four temple has been developed in order to prevent further damages and mitigating their effects. In this phase, the analysis of the character defining elements of each temple has also been developed. The second phase consisted in the processing of the recorded information. The final phase involved the assessment of the adopted approach, techniques and tools employed and the development of recommendations for the replicability of the adopted methodology. The temples, different for architectural design, shape, geometry and affected by different kinds of natural hazards (such as flooding, earthquake and anthropic pressures) have been selected in order to test the flexibility of the adopted methodology, techniques and tools

Coronado, 1f; 17.ii.1993, 1f; 26.ii.1993 (1m, CDFA). Diagnosis. FEMALE. This species can be separated from other Dasymutilla by the triangular pygidium. It can be separated from Traumatomutilla with a similar triangular pygidium by the unarmed posterolateral head margins, the rounded femoral apices, and the red mesosoma. The following diagnostic characters are also useful: the antennal scrobe has a dorsal carina that is sometimes weak; the gena has a distinct carina; the mesosoma is longer than broad and has a distinct scutellar scale; and T2 is marked with two yellow subcircular patches. MALE. This species has the integument black, clothed with black and white setae only; T4 and T5 each have a dense band of white setae; the tibial spurs are white; S2 lacks a seta-filled pit; the posterior margin of the hypopygium has a median notch, and the forewing marginal cell is apically acute. Description. FEMALE (holotype). Body length 11 mm. Body black, except apical flagellomeres, mandible, and leg joints partly brown, mesosoma largely reddish dorsally and laterally; and T2 with two distinct yellow subcircular patches. Head and mesosoma with appressed setae predominantly pale yellow and erect setae predominantly blackish; metasoma with distinct white setal patch on T1 and T2; with distinct whitish fringe or band on T4–5 and S2–5; whitish setae on T2 patches and laterally on T2–3; remaining metasomal setae black. Head. Genal carina present and distinct; subgenal carina absent; antennal scrobe with dorsal carina partially obliterated; head, including outer margin of eyes; broader than mesosoma; posterolateral angle of vertex without tubercle. Entire head with deep contiguous punctures, many interspaces cariniform. Mesosoma. Longer than broad in dorsal view, perpendicularly truncate posteriorly; dorsally with deep contiguous punctures, interspaces mostly cariniform; humeral carina weak, basically continuous to epaulet; scutellar scale present; lateral and posterior propodeal faces smoothly rounded together with similar dense punctation; mid and hind femora rounded apically; tarsomere five apex with laminar process notched medially, process covering base of claws. Metasoma. T1 narrowly petiolate with globose T2; T2–6 with deep contiguous punctures, interspaces mostly cariniform; pygidial area higher than wide, narrow at base, with few weak longitudinal striae. MALE. Body length 10.5 mm. Color. Entirely black except flagellum, mandible and leg joints partly brown. Setae predominantly scattered whitish except head with erect black setae; mesoscutum with erect and appressed black setae; T1, T4, and T5 with distinct white setal bands, remaining tergites with setae mostly black. Head. Genal carina absent; clypeus anterior margin with two denticles or tubercles; mandible apically oblique, tridentate; ocelli small: OOD ~5× DLO, IOD subequal to DLO; head slightly swollen posteromedially. Mesosoma. Mostly with deep confluent punctures; mesopleuron without protuberance near tegula; tegula mostly smooth; axilla punctate dorsally, apically oblique with truncate setose posterior face; propodeum reticulate; apices of mid and hind femora more or less rounded, not sulcate; tibial spur white; marginal cell with pointed apex to marginal vein. Metasoma. T1 narrowly petiolate with T2; S2 without seta-filled pit; S2 base without carina, evenly convex; T6 mostly smooth with apical setal fringe; hypopygium apical margin with median V-shaped notch; S7 Posterolateral angles not dentiform, lateral borders without carina. Distribution. Known only from central and eastern Panama. Etymology. From the Spanish “ colorado ” meaning red colored. Jointly named in reference to the female’s uncommon mesosomal color and Barro Colorado Island, where the type was collected and this project originated. Treat as noun in apposition. Remarks. In the key to Neotropical Dasymutilla (Manley and Pitts 2007), females of this species run to various couplets depending on how the antennal scrobe carina is scored. Most specimens key to couplet 32 with Dasymutilla twegeni Manley and Pitts, 2007 from Mexico. They can be separated from D. twegeni by having the mesosoma reddish and the pygidial area higher than wide, narrowed basally, and mostly unsculptured. Other specimens key to couplet 47 with Dasymutilla buenavista Manley and Pitts, 2007 from Mexico. They can be separated from D. buenavista by having the mesosoma reddish, T2 with two yellow maculae, without a sinuate carina anterior to the scutellar scale, and having the pygidial area mostly unsculptured. Still other females key to couplet 47 and were discussed briefly as potential members of the genus Traumatomutilla in Williams et al. (2017). The diagnostic characters and habitus photos presented here will allow immediate recognition of this species. Males are similar to Dasymutilla militaris nigriceps (Cresson, 1865) from Cuba, Bahamas and Dominican Republic. Both species have the integument black, clothed with black and white setae, S2 without seta-filled pit, and the posterior margin of the hypopygium with a median notch. It differs from D. m. nigriceps in the following combination of characters: the wings are uniform in color with the marginal cell apically acute; T2 has erect and sparse white setae basally; T3 is clothed mostly with black setae; the pygidial area is mostly unsculptured; while D. militaris has the wings banded and marginal cell apically truncate, has the T2 base and T3 totally with dense decumbent white pubescence that hides the integument; and the pygidial area is finely rugose. Dasymutilla and Traumatomutilla are notoriously difficult to separate and could eventually be synonymized (Manley and Pitts 2007). Both genera are diverse and morphologically variable, with Dasymutilla being predominantly North American and Traumatomutilla being predominantly South American. This species functionally represents a middle ground between the genera, having female coloration similar to Dasymutilla, male coloration similar to Traumatomutilla, and occurring at the border between North and South America. Because Dasymutilla is the older name, we place D. colorado in that genus.Published as part of Cambra, Roberto A., Williams, Kevin A., Quintero, Diomedes, Windsor, Donald M., Pickering, John & Saavedra, Daisy, 2018, Dasymutilla Ashmead (Hymenoptera, Mutillidae) in Panama: new species, sex associations and seasonal flight activity, pp. 1-17 in Insecta Mundi 608 on pages 6-8, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.369706

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
