Selection of spectral regions was included in MIR predictions of soil properties.
The R software outperformed a commercial chemometric software.
SVMR and model averaging performed better ...than PLSR and artificial neural networks.
With decreasing calibration sample size, the usefulness of SVMR over PLSR decreased.
MIRS studies may focus more on representativeness, sample sizes, and variabilities.
Different algorithms exist in various software programs for the estimation of soil properties using mid‐infrared (MIR) spectroscopy, with recommendations varying between different studies regarding which algorithm should be used. Objectives were to compare the performance of the commercial OPUS Quant 2 software, which uses partial least squares regression (PLSR) and a selection of spectral ranges, with the R software and to study the accuracy of different algorithms as a function of the information provided in the calibration. Contents of soil organic carbon (SOC), nitrogen, and texture for surface soils of an arable field were determined, and MIR were spectra recorded. Partial least squares regression used with either software was useful (ratio of performance to interquartile distance in the validation sample RPIQV >1.89) for an estimation of SOC, clay, and N contents but not for sand and silt. The wavenumber region selection concept used in OPUS was also implemented in R, and it proved useful for SOC (all algorithms) and total nitrogen (artificial neural networks, support vector machine regression SVMR) in the validation. Support vector machine regression generally slightly outperformed the other approaches and resulted in a successful estimation of sand content. The usefulness of SVMR over PLSR generally decreased with decreasing sample size used for the calibration (thus decreasing the information provided), and PLSR partly outperformed SVMR in the validation. Overall, this study indicates that there is no general superiority of a chemometric algorithm over PLSR independent of the information provided in the calibration sample.
Tal como propuso Escrivá de Balaguer - fundador del Opus Dei - todos pueden alcanzar la santidad a través del trabajo y las circunstancias ordinarias de la vida. En Argentina, muchos responden a este ...llamado desempeñándose en diferentes actividades solidarias. De este modo, mediante una etnografía multissituada, busco conocer las concepciones y acciones que sus miembros ofrecen en relación a la pobreza. A grandes rasgos, existen dos modos de abordar la cuestión: una que se enfoca en aquellos que trabajan en las actividades (eventos de recaudación de fondos que favorecen la sociabilidad o instancias que buscan "formar" a las jóvenes involucradas) y otro que prioriza a los destinatarios (espacios que apuntan a la “integración” o la "recuperación moral" del pobre). Asimismo, tomo el concepto de "pobreza" más allá de su carácter material, ya que la idea de "pobreza espiritual" resulta central para comprender al Opus Dei y su lugar dentro del catolicismo.

Diet has a significant impact on health, and ensuring that the population eats a healthy diet remains a public health challenge. Research is needed in order to improve the palatability of a healthy ...diet and make it attractive to the consumer. It has also been suggested that dietary recommendations should be tailored to regional conditions. The OPUS (Optimal well-being, development and health for Danish children through a healthy New Nordic Diet) project investigates whether it is possible to develop a healthy New Nordic Diet (NND) that is palatable, environmentally friendly and based on foods originating from the Nordic region. The present paper describes the overall guidelines for the NND, developed and investigated in the multidisciplinary, 5-year OPUS research project. All guidelines are described in relation to the key principles: health, gastronomic potential and Nordic identity, and sustainability.
The NND is described by the overall guidelines: (i) more calories from plant foods and fewer from meat; (ii) more foods from the sea and lakes; and (iii) more foods from the wild countryside. These overall guidelines result in a set of proposed dietary components which will be presented in a subsequent paper.
Both the guidelines and the diet are composed taking the potential health-promoting properties and Nordic identity of the NND into account, as well as concern for environmental issues and gastronomic potential.
Se describen en este trabajo las estructuras portuarias de época romana excavadas entre 2009 y 2014 en el llamado Patio de Banderas del Alcázar de Sevilla (la antigua colonia Romula Hispalis). Dentro ...de la compleja estratigrafía del solar, el artículo se centra en las fases constructivas datadas entre finales del siglo II a. C. y el primer tercio del siglo III d. C. Tras una ocupación republicana inicial (fase republicana I) consistente en un edificio productivo, probablemente una almazara, se construye un complejo de almacenes portuarios (fase republicana II) cuya fecha fundacional está dentro del tercer cuarto del siglo I a. C. y cuya destrucción súbita tiene lugar en los primeros decenios del siglo III (fase Imperial II). Tras un recorrido sin apenas modificaciones (fase Imperial I), hacia el último tercio del siglo I d. C. (fase Imperial II) se documenta una importante reforma interior de las estructuras para adecuarlas en su parte septentrional a una función artesanal relacionada con el uso abundante del agua. La destrucción del conjunto se relaciona con un evento energético que, no obstante, parece repercutir sobre un sector de la ciudad ya en decadencia desde finales del siglo II d. C. Finalmente, el trabajo trata de contextualizar las estructuras excavadas en el Patio de Banderas dentro del contexto portuario de la ciudad y en relación a almacenes y conjuntos edilicios similares del resto del Imperio.
The first women of Opus Dei arrived from Spain to the United States to carry out their evangelization activities in 1950. The first three years were difficult and crucial. This work shows the efforts ...of these women to get to know a culture so different from the Spanish one of those years and the role of Nisa Gonzalez Guzman in the formation and organization of the apostolic work. It also highlights the importance of the reinforcements that arrived from Mexico in 1952, where the apostolic work had developed more rapidly.

In November 1957, a significant milestone in the history of Opus Dei in the United States –which he had started in 1949–, marking the establishment of two distinct circumscriptions: the Chicago ...region and the Washington region. This article focuses on the formative years of the Washington region, spanning from 1957 to 1961, specifically highlighting the experiences of the male members of Opus Dei. It provides a chronological account, outlines the geographical and demographic aspects, and delves into certain institutional aspects, such as the organization’s relationship with the American hierarchy and its presence in Washington D.C., Boston and Cambridge, and New York.
During the Spanish Civil War, the founder of Opus Dei wrote a monthly family newsletter while he lived in Burgos. The newsletter gave brief information about the young people who had participated in ...the activities of the DYA Academy-Residence, in Madrid, who were scattered throughout Spain, and at the same time, served to send them a message of encouragement with the intention of keeping them vibrant in the Catholic faith. The second issues of this series presented, corresponding to the month of April 1938.
The figure of Luis Adaro Ruiz-Falcó (1914-2006) covers countless facets. Engineer, businessman,
historian, he was a notable public figure in the second half of the 20th Century in Asturias. In 1959 ...he joined Opus Dei, being the first person to be a member of
this Institution in Gijón (Asturias). The present work, together with some general biographical elements, gives an account of its religious facet, in order, in this context, to show the impact that the secular spirituality of Opus Dei had on the various kinds of initiatives that carried out throughout his long life
La figura de Luis Adaro Ruiz-Falcó (1914-2006) abarca innumerables facetas. Ingeniero, empresario, historiador, fue un notable personaje público de la segunda mitad del siglo XX en Asturias. En 1959 pidió la admisión en el Opus Dei, siendo así la primera persona en formar parte de la institución en
Gijón (Asturias). El presente trabajo, junto con algunos elementos biográficos generales, da cuenta de su faceta religiosa, para, en ese contexto, mostrar la
incidencia que la espiritualidad secular del Opus Dei tuvo en las realizaciones de diversa índole que llevó a cabo a lo largo de su dilatada existencia

In October 1952 there were about forty supernumeraries in Spain and on October 31 of that year the first of the weeks of formation commenced. These courses would continue thereafter on a regular ...basis. In order to attend, these women had to overcome certain obstacles associated with the situation of women in Spain at that time and the prevailing national culture. This article examines the content of the formation that was given in these first courses through to June 1957 and the characteristics that make it possible to assess the extent to which this formation was assimilated. The attentive attitude and good disposition of these women is demonstrated, while they were given a broader, deeper and, above all, more systematic knowledge of the spirit of Opus Dei and, consequently, of the specific aspects involved in the personal commitment they had undertaken. Written sources (the diaries of the workshops and the correspondence available from some supernumeraries and numeraries who looked after them in the centers) and oral sources (interviews with 19 supernumeraries of that time) have been used.
