Modelling of Dynamic Spatial Processes

The paper is concerned with econometric modeling of the dynamic spatial processes on the example of the GDP per capita in selected European countries. The considerations of the paper are focused on investigations of the structure of components of the spatio-temporal process. As a result of the analysis some specifications of the dynamic spatial models have been obtained. Next the issues of the estimation and verification of the models are presented. The main conclusion from the analysis is that the econometric models of the spatio-temporal processes ought to be of the dynamic character, e.g. considering the spatial and spatio-temporal trends and spatial, temporal and spatio-temporal autodependence as well.spatio-temporal trend, autocorrelation, spatial lag model, dynamic spatial model.

Stein i Heidegger - Dwie Fenomenologie

The main aim of this article is to explain Heidegger’s and Stein’s conception of phenomenology. These analyses provide a basis for an attempt to explain Stein’scritique of Heidegger’s thought. First, I present Heidegger’s phenomenology, which can be described as hermeneutic, that is to say his conception assumes an understanding of being as a fundamental category. Next, I introduce Stein’s personal phenomenology, termed as such because her explorations focus on human being. In the last part of my paper, I show how Stein considers the incompleteness of Heidegger’s analysis of Dasein,death and temporality as the main shortcomings of his thought. Stein accuses Heideggerof saying nothing about the possibility of eternity and takes into account only finite existence.My interpretation is that Stein’s appraisal, in the main, stems from her understanding of phenomenology which differs from Heidegger’s

Dietary protein in older adults: adequate daily intake but potential for improved distribution

Daily distribution of dietary protein may be important in protecting against sarcopenia, specifically in terms of per meal amounts relative to a proposed threshold for maximal response. The aims of this study were to determine total and per meal protein intake in older adults, as well as identifying associations with physical activity and sedentary behavior. Three-day food diaries recorded protein intake in 38 participants. Protein distribution, coefficient of variation (CV), and per meal amounts were calculated. Accelerometry was used to collect physical activity data as well as volume and patterns of sedentary time. Average intake was 1.14 g·kg−1·day−1. Distribution was uneven (CV = 0.67), and 79% of participants reported <0.4 g·kg−1 protein content in at least 2/3 daily meals. Protein intake was significantly correlated with step count (r = 0.439, p = 0.007) and negatively correlated with sedentary time (r = −0.456, p = 0.005) and Gini index G, which describes the pattern of accumulation of sedentary time (r = −0.421, p = 0.011). Total daily protein intake was sufficient; however, distribution did not align with the current literature; increasing protein intake may help to facilitate optimization of distribution. Associations between protein and other risk factors for sarcopenia may also inform protective strategies

«Mapuche se es también en la waria (ciudad)». Disputas en torno a lo rural, lo urbano y lo indígena en la Argentina

El campo y la ciudad no constituyen meramente espacios físicos con determinadas características distintivas, sino a su vez espacios simbólicos histórica y hegemónicamente construidos como opuestos. En Argentina, dicho esquema ha dejado su impronta en los discursos y políticas estatales, tanto nacionales como provinciales, respecto de los pueblos indígenas2. Desde una perspectiva esencialista de las pertenencias e identidades, se ha instituido la vida rural como condición necesaria del «auténtico» indígena. No en vano, el primer y único Censo Indígena Nacional se implementó visitando sólo comunidades rurales en determinadas provincias del país. Aún gozando de fuerte consenso, tal reducción forma parte de procesos de construcción de hegemonía, entendida como un cuerpo de prácticas y significados continuamente renovado, recreado, defendido, resistido, desafiado y modificado. El presente trabajo se centra entonces en las disputas en torno a la relación entre lo rural, lo urbano y lo indígena en el contexto argentino. Partiendo del proceso de incorporación/ subordinación de los pueblos indígenas al Estado nacional, explora diversas producciones recientes de sujetos y agencias del pueblo mapuche que cuestionan, reformulan y/ o subvierten las representaciones instituidas
