Critical spin chains and loop models with $PSU(n)$ symmetry by Paul Roux, Jesper Lykke Jacobsen, Sylvain Ribault, Hubert Saleur

“…We focus on the two-dimensional case, where the models can be described either as gases of non-intersecting orientable loops, or as alternating spin chains.

Nature Capital. An ecological transition and open space transformation phenomena by Renzo Lecardane

Organismos estatales de justicia y policía en la ciudad de Bucaramanga, 1900 – 1950 by René Álvarez Orozco

“…En este artículo se intenta establecer el proceso de implantación de aquellos entes estatales y burocráticos encargados de preservar el orden e impartir justicia en la ciudad de Bucaramanga, como fueron las autoridades de policía y los juzgados, durante la primera mitad del siglo XX, periodo de tiempo en el que la ciudad mantuvo un crecimiento urbano, económico y poblacional constante que la consolidaron como una importante ciudad-capital en la región oriental del país. El estudio de estas políticas y medidas de control social se sitúan dentro del marco del pensamiento criminológico así como también en el de las prácticas institucionales públicas, que permiten dilúcidar los dispositivos de control y prevención que se diseñaron para ejercer vigilancia, orden y castigo, a diversos sectores como parte de la formación y consolidación de la sociedad moderna.…”

Where be dragons? by Miguel Andrade

“…As descriptions of dragon surroundings are often scarce in detail, this study intends to take a broad-scope approach to the available corpus of sagas with dragons in them, combing 55 dragon occurrences across 38 sagas and þættir (“tales, episodes”) for landscape-oriented vocabulary. It will focus on “legendary sagas” and "chivalric sagas" due to prevalence of the material, but also include episodes from "sagas of Icelanders", "kings’ sagas" and other texts adjacent to those genres.…”

Axiological principles of integrated protection of human and natural environments by Wojciech Bołoz

“…This change is accompanied by different axiological principles within which we can distinguish: 1) the anthropocentric concept which places man in the centre and grants him a privileged place amongst other species; 2) the anti-anthropocentric concept which stresses the equality of all species and demands a reversal in humanistic orientation consolidated by the European Enlightenment; 3) the moderate anthropocentric concept which underlines human’s caring and a responsible role towards the ecosystem. …”
