Zastępstwo sądowe w późnośredniowiecznej Starej Warszawie
Authors: Łozowski Piotr
Published: October 2024

Sprawy związane z działalnością zastępców sądowych są jedną z najliczniejszych grup zapisów obecnych w późnośredniowiecznych księgach miejskich. Jest to materiał atrakcyjny w kontekście kwantytatywnych badań z obszaru historii społeczno-gospodarczej i prawnej. Analizy materiału źródłowego z akt Starej Warszawy z lat 1427–1527 wykazały powszechną znajomość mechanizmu zastępstwa sądowego, wykorzystywanego przede wszystkim w egzekucji niespłaconych długów. Oprócz osób regularnie występujących przez wiele lat z częstotliwością kilku wpisów rocznie, 70% odnotowanych pełnomocników pojawiło się tylko jednokrotnie. Dowodzi to, że przy wyznaczaniu zastępcy kluczowe było zaufanie między stronami.
Manipulowanie przeszłością jako praxis. Przykład Katalonii.
Authors: Kubiaczyk Filip
Published: October 2024

Niniejszy artykuł recenzyjny dotyczy książki Cataluña, La historia que no fue. Mentiras, ficciones, manipulaciones y ocultaciones, w której autor podjął się zadania odkłamania historii Katalonii, tj.  ukazania deformacji, fikcji, manipulacji i zatajeń występujących w publikacjach katalońskich historyków i pseudohistoryków. Skala tych kłamstw i zniekształceń katalońskiej przeszłości jest tak duża, że wszystkie razem składają się na historię Katalonii, która de facto nigdy nie miała miejsca, a zmanipulowane opowieści nie odnoszą się do żadnej realnie istniejącej rzeczywistości, lecz przypominają Baudrillardowski symulakr. Mimo to, za sprawą zręcznych i przebiegłych manipulatorów przeszłością, którzy nie wahają się propagować i udostępniać  swoich tez w mediach, w tym zwłaszcza społecznościowych, stają się one realnym zagrożeniem dla historii akademickiej. Ustawiczne powtarzanie zmanipulowanych treści w przestrzeni publicznej, przy jednoczesnej bierności akademików może bowiem sprawić, że z czasem nabiorą one statusu ontologicznego. W artykule przedstawiano najważniejsze tezy autora zawarte w książce oraz przykłady manipulatorskich praktyk. Podjęto też dyskusję z niektórymi z nich korygując je i/lub  rozwijając. Niniejszy artykuł został też pomyślany jako apel do historyków akademickich, aby nie wahali się włączać do swojej narracji i  poddawać krytyce tez głoszonych przez zawodowych historyków-manipulatorów i pseudohistoryków.

Despite the decreasing number of cases, cataract is still the leading cause of visual impairment and blindness worldwide. The search for the causes of this disease, its risk factors and the relationship with systemic diseases is the subject of many studies and attracts the attention of scientists around the world.One of the most common cause of cataract and probably the most frequently reported in the literature, is aging. Other commonly described causes of cataracts are external factors and acquired diseases. Although genetic diseases are not the most common disorders associated with the occurrence and development of cataract, this review takes a broader look at this particular aspect, describing the relationship between cataracts and a group of genetic diseases.

The links between cataracts and genetic diseases have been investigated. This review focuses on the diseases most frequently reported in the literature to be associated with cataracts, such as Down syndrome, myotonic dystrophy, neurofibromatosis type 2, Marfan syndrome, Wilson disease and Alport syndrome.

The associations of cataracts with various genetic diseases, confirmed in previously published studies, were described. Despite the fact that it is difficult to distinguish individual factors influencing the development of cataract, the analyzed literature examples allowed to demonstrate that cataract in the course of the genetic disorders discussed in this review is not accidental.

Authors: Shi Zhiming , Zhao Zang , Chen Junjie , Cheng Guangxin
Published: October 2024

This paper proposes a sit-up counting system based on bone key point detection, aiming to solve the subjectivity and inefficiency problems of traditional manual counting. The system uses deep learning algorithms to detect and identify key points of human bones, and by improving the network structure and introducing jump connections, it significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of positioning key points of bones. The number of improved network parameters was reduced from 125.6M to 38.3M, significantly reducing model complexity; at the same time, the processing speed was increased from 36.5 FPS to 63.6 FPS, showing higher processing efficiency. Combining skeletal key point tracking and illegal motion detection, real-time and accurate counting is achieved, and the accuracy of sit-up detection reaches 98.57%. The system integrates real-time detection, data collection, display, storage and query functions, providing an efficient and objective counting solution for sports and testing.

Paronychia, felon and herpetic whitlow are common superficial hand infections. Although having similarities there are many differences between clinical presentation and treatment. Paronychia can present as acute and chronic condition. Treatment options varies from medical to surgical therapy. Formed abscesses may require drainage and possible antibiotic course. Herpetic whitlow is rare manifestation of hand infection with unique treatment options. Chronic infections differs in etiology and clinical presentation and need specialized treatment. Role of noninfectious causes should always be considered, including malignancy if no adequate treatment response is gained.  Making correct diagnosis, followed by adequate treatment will prevent huge range of complications. Article reviews common hand infections, presentation, diagnosis and treatment strategies.
An Experimental Evaluation of Gender Differences in Responses to Major-Donor Funding Schemes for Crowdfunded Social Ventures
Authors: Bapna Sofia , Burtch Gordon
Published: October 2024

Social ventures (organizations that seek to address social or societal problems) fundraising through crowdfunding compete for contributions. Thus, they often involve major donors to influence the contributions of smaller donors. We examine what type of major-donor contribution scheme is most likely to attract smaller donors. In particular, we examine whether and to what degree male and female donors differ in their response to alternative major-donor contribution schemes that are commonly used in practice. When informed that a major donor has kicked off a crowdfunding campaign with an initial contribution, women are 50% more interested in contributing relative to when no major donor was mentioned and 35% more interested in contributing relative to when they were informed that the major donor’s contribution is conditional on the combined donations from others reaching a certain threshold. The initial contribution or seed money from the major donor leads to perceptions, among women, that the organization conducting the project is of high quality, is likely to reach its funding goal, and is likely to achieve its implementation goals. Unlike females, males appear to be agnostic to major donor involvement. Our study suggests that social ventures will be more successful at attracting contributions from female donors if a major donor kicks off the campaign with an initial contribution.

Published: October 2024

Endophytes which are capable of providing a plethora of beneficial effects to the plants that they inhabit are also regarded as plant growth promoting microbes. The bacteria harboured in the rhizosphere are involved in both promoting plant growth and remediating soils contaminated with pollutants like heavy metals, these microorganisms employ various mechanisms to achieve these dual objectives. PGPB is intended to stimulate the growth of plant roots (increase the root mass and/or the root capturing area), promoting nutrient uptake from the soil, and protecting plants from root diseases. PGPB contribute to heavy metal mobilization in soil through mechanisms such as solubilizing metal minerals, acidifying the rhizosphere environment, increasing root surface area for metal uptake, and enhancing the release of root exudates that facilitate metal mobilization. This Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria are called as biofertilizer which is the alternate for the chemical fertilizer and harmless for the soil, plants and consumers. In this review various applications of these bacteria are discussed and methods in which it can be beneficial to horticulture is also described.

Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT: Microalgae have recently drawn attention as a potential source for the sustainable production of biotechnologically valuable resources and improving the environment in various ways. They are widely distributed and can thrive even under extreme circumstances like high temperatures or high salinity. However, producing microalgae takes a lot of nutrients, which may have an adverse impact on the environment and the economy. The use of wastewater, particularly those from agro-industrial facilities, domestic waste waters, and industrial discharges, which often contain high nutrient concentrations, can serve as an alternative to synthetic culture media. Because the composition of wastewater and usual culture media is relatively similar, wastewater can be utilized to both clean itself and culture microalgae at the same time. Utilizing microalgae as wastewater bioremediation agents can efficiently remove N and P from domestic wastewater, maintain dissolved oxygen concentration, and reduce the various disease-causing pathogens and fecal bacteria that are present in domestic wastewater. The potential of microalgae to be used as a feedstock is increased by their ability to change the composition of their biomass under stress and accumulate lipids or carbohydrates that might be used to produce biodiesel. Methyl or ethyl esters of fatty acids produced from triglycerides by transesterification process by using renewable feedstocks are known as biodiesel. The microalgal biomass is considered as the next generation of feedstock for biofuel production. The Dual function of microalgae in domestic wastewater treatment and biomass growth for biodiesel production is outlined and discussed in detail in this review paper.
Molecular Docking Insights into Gatifloxacin Derivatives as Prospective Antidepressant Agents
Authors: Majalekar Priyanka Prakash , Shirote Pramodkumar Jaykumar
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT: The current focus in drug discovery aims to identify promising therapeutic candidates for further research. Depression, a significant public health issue, is closely linked to low serotonin levels. Researchers are investigating novel antidepressant agents through chemical modifications and protein analysis. The various derivatives are assessed for their antidepressant activity through in silico molecular docking simulations by using AutoDock and ADME analysis. Autodock includes formation of PDBQT files, docking of converted ligands and protein forms, formation of 9 different positions of docked molecules results into binding score, 2D image and 3D images of same one. Docking studies reveal molecular interactions between biological macromolecules (8FSB) and ligands, with strong protein-ligand interactions potentially inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin at the post-synaptic nerve, thereby increasing serotonin availability and exerting antidepressant effects. Gatifloxacin derivatives demonstrated higher binding affinities with 8FSB, Gati I (-11.4 kcal/mol), Gati II (-11.1 kcal/mol), Gati III (-8.2 kcal/mol), Gati IV (-7.9 kcal/mol), Gati V (-9.5 kcal/mol), and Gati VI (-9.7 kcal/mol), all exceeding gatifloxacin (-6.9 kcal/mol). These findings suggest that gatifloxacin derivatives may serve as potent antidepressants of drug discovery lies in the synergistic use of in vitro and in vivo studies, leveraging technological advancements to develop safer and more effective therapies. The findings related to gatifloxacin derivatives highlight the potential of these approaches in identifying novel antidepressants, paving the way for further research and clinical trials.

Published: October 2024

Aims

The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of the tapered cone stem in total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with excessive femoral anteversion and after femoral osteotomy.

Methods

We included patients who underwent THA using Wagner Cone due to proximal femur anatomical abnormalities between August 2014 and January 2019 at a single institution. We investigated implant survival time using the endpoint of dislocation and revision, and compared the prevalence of prosthetic impingements between the Wagner Cone, a tapered cone stem, and the Taperloc, a tapered wedge stem, through simulation. We also collected Oxford Hip Score (OHS), visual analogue scale (VAS) satisfaction, and VAS pain by postal survey in August 2023 and explored variables associated with those scores.

Results

Of the 58 patients (62 hips), two (two hips) presented with dislocation or reoperation, and Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated a five-year survival rate of 96.7% (95% CI 92.4 to 100). Mean stem anteversion was 35.2° (SD 18.2°) for the Taperloc stem and 29.8° (SD 7.9°) for the Wagner Cone stem; mean reduction from Taperloc to Wagner Cone was 5.4° (SD 18.8°). Overall, 55 hips (52 patients) were simulated, and the prevalence of prosthetic impingement was lower for the Wagner Cone (5.5%, 3/55) compared with the Taperloc (20.0%, 11/55) stem, with an odds ratio of 0.20 (p = 0.038). Among the 33 respondents to the postal survey (36 hips), the mean scores were VAS pain 10.9, VAS satisfaction 86.9, and OHS 44.7. A multivariable analysis revealed that reduction of stem anteversion from Taperloc to Wagner Cone was more favourable for VAS pain (p = 0.029) and VAS satisfaction (p = 0.002).

Conclusion

The mid-term survival rate for THA using the Wagner Cone stem was high, which may be supported by a reduction in prosthetic impingement. The reduction in excessive stem anteversion by using a tapered cone stem was associated with reduced pain and increased patient satisfaction.

Las ideas parentales sobre educación y desarrollo: un estudio longitudinal.
Authors: Ridao Ramírez Pilar , López Verdugo Isabel , Moreno Rodríguez M. Carmen
Published: October 2024

El presente estudio tiene como objetivo conocer cómo se configuran las ideas parentales a lo largo de las principales etapas de desarrollo de los hijos e hijas. Durante dieciséis años se realiza un seguimiento longitudinal a 102 progenitores (55 madres y 47 padres). Se les administra el CIP (Cuestionario de Ideas de Padres) en cuatro momentos de las vidas de sus hijos e hijas: nacimiento (Tiempo 1), 22 meses (Tiempo 2), 7 años (Tiempo 3) y 16 años (Tiempo 4). Aunque, en líneas generales, el contenido de las ideas de los padres y madres tiende a mantenerse estable a lo largo del tiempo, existen patrones de configuración específicos asociados al momento evolutivo de los hijos e hijas, encontrándose más semejanzas entre Tiempo 1 y Tiempo 4, por un lado, y entre Tiempo 2 y Tiempo 3, por otro. Se discuten estos resultados argumentando que los grandes momentos de cambio o de inseguridad en el ejercicio de la paternidad contribuyen a subrayar los planteamientos de la ideología tradicional y se plantea la utilidad de conocer las ideas evolutivo-educativas de los progenitores de cara al desarrollo de programas psicoeducativos para padres y madres.

El papel del ocio en la intervención psicosocial con víctimas de la trata: una revisión sistemática
Authors: Chacón Alexandra , Codina Nuria
Published: October 2024

Introducción: La trata de personas con finalidad de explotación sexual es una práctica esclavista que acarrea un excelso grado de violencia; requiriendo que la intervención psicosocial preste recursos centrados en la recuperación psicológica de las víctimas. En este sentido, el ocio es un recurso terapéutico que permite afrontar los estresores traumáticos y abordar el desarraigo y los estigmas que sufren las víctimas sexuales; alejándose así de las extendidas intervenciones asistencialistas y paliativas. Sin embargo, parecen poco generalizadas las intervenciones que incorporan el ocio terapéutico. Objetivo: Realizar una revisión sistemática de los trabajos publicados respecto a intervenciones con mujeres víctimas de explotación sexual que contemplan el ocio terapéutico. Metodología: Se revisan las bases de datos Psicodoc, PsycInfo y Sociological Abstracts, utilizando las palabras claves, en castellano, víctimas sexuales o prostitutas, intervención, ocio y en inglés, sexual victim o prostitute, intervention, leisure.Resultados: Se identificaron un total de 725 publicaciones mayoritariamente de orientación sociológica. Después de los cribados quedaron 19 trabajos, los cuales también fueron descartados tras un análisis del contenido de los mismos. Discusión: Los resultados reflejan como la intervención psicosocial orientada a recuperar en su integridad a las víctimas de la violencia sexual no está documentada ni registrada en bases de datos científicas. Conclusiones: Habiendo evidenciado el significativo grado de desatención a la recuperación integral de las víctimas de la trata, se reclama la necesidad de difundir y facilitar experiencias en la gestión del ocio terapéutico como herramienta para intervenir en este colectivo.
Narrativas de un desplazamiento (o “una cartografía del intangible”)
Authors: Olekszechen Nikolas , Massola Gustavo Martineli
Published: October 2024

Desde de una narrativa de viaje, hacemos un paralelo entre viajar e investigar para definir la deambulación como un metodo. Es un trabajo teórico guiado por el marco del paradigma de las nuevas movilidades. Analizamos el significado de viajar desde la perspectiva de quienes se mueven. Partimos de la mirada de alguien que se lanza a lo desconocido anticipando lo que encontrará al final del viaje hacia la perspectiva del cartógrafo, el que guía sus acciones mientras explora el entorno. Con la metáfora turística, enfatizamos que la investigación sobre movilidad produce importantes tensiones teórico-epistemológicas para la psicología social, cuestionando la naturaleza del objeto de estudio y considerando al investigador como una fuerza en el campo. Finalmente, afirmamos que la investigación requiere desplazamiento, y una contribución importante de este marco a los estudios de psicología social y persona-ambiente es que la condición para la producción de conocimiento en movilidad es la transformación del campo y la perspectiva del investigador.
La subjetivación política en la protesta: una aproximación psicopolítica al procés catalán
Authors: Pradillo-Caimari Cristina , Di Masso Tarditti Andrés
Published: October 2024

En este artículo nos aproximamos al movimiento catalán del Procés desde una perspectiva psicopolítica explorando la imbricación de las dimensiones psicológica y política. A través de las tensiones fundamentales de la noción de subjetivación política (agencia-estructura y reproducción-transformación) analizamos la experiencia cotidiana de este movimiento sociopolítico nacionalista ilustrando la expresión subjetiva de las dinámicas ideológicas y globales. En concreto, focalizamos en el potencial transformador de la reproducción de la lógica estatal sirviéndonos del concepto bourdeasiano de habitus. Argumentamos que la óptica de la subjetivación política nos ofrece una comprensión situada de los constructos “psi” destacando su papel fundamental en los movimientos sociopolíticos reconociendo tanto su carácter dilemático como su potencial transformador.

Se usó un diseño de estudio de caso, realizando entrevistas semiestructuradas a cuatro líderes comunitarios y cuatro profesionales de servicios socio-comunitarios. Se utilizó la técnica de análisis temático propuesta por Braun & Clarke (2006) para analizar las entrevistas. Los resultados destacan que la relación entre autóctonos e inmigrantes latinoamericanos se encuentra cruzada por el prejuicio étnico y el racismo; no obstante, el proceso de aculturación tiene un impacto relevante en ambos grupos, especialmente el cambio en algunas costumbres en los autóctonos, lo que es un hallazgo inesperado. También aparecen los cambios en la identidad como un aspecto importante del proceso. Finalmente, se señala la necesidad de trabajar en una identidad colectiva que conduzca a una mejor convivencia intercultural
Attitudes towards disability in Higher Education

In this article, we present data concerning the attitudes towards disability of students in Higher Education (HE) at a Spanish university. This research is part of a wider project designed to understand these attitudes at other Spanish universities and Brazilian and Portuguese Universities. The total sample was composed of 609 students (Mean age: 24.41; SD: 9.84), including undergraduates (85.7%) and postgraduates (14.3%) from different faculties at the University of Barcelona. Seventy-seven percent of the sample were women, and 6.1% had some disability. The first part of the instrument used collects sociodemographic information. The second part contains 43 statements grouped in three blocks: 17 relating to the biological model of disability, 15 to the social model, and 11 to the metaphysical perspective. The results showed the predominance of agreement with the social and biological conceptions of disability. Moreover, significant differences were found among the students' attitudes related to their year of study, age, faculty, and absence of disability. The results obtained represent a first step regarding the need to voice students with a disability in the processes required for their social inclusion.

Universitarios ante la crisis económica: concordancia académico-laboral, alienación en el trabajo, afrontamiento y bienestar
Authors: Carballeira Abella Mónica , Abrante Rodríguez Desiré , Marrero Carreira Betsabé
Published: October 2024

La crisis económica ha supuesto un menoscabo del bienestar de los individuos. Esta problemática ha sido abordada mediante la realización de dos estudios. En el primero, se analizó el bienestar en una muestra de jóvenes formados académicamente durante el período de crisis económica, y su relación con distintas variables psicológicas. Los resultados indican que los jóvenes que desempeñan un puesto de trabajo acorde a los estudios realizados, muestran mayor bienestar y menos alienación laboral. Las variables vinculadas en mayor medida al bienestar laboral son: satisfacción vital, autoestima, responsabilidad, reducción de síntomas y desempeñar un empleo acorde a los estudios realizados. En el segundo estudio se contrastó el afrontamiento, el apoyo social y el bienestar de dos muestras evaluadas en diferentes periodos temporales: de 2006 a 2007 (participantes formados durante un período previo a la crisis) y de 2018 a 2019 (formados durante la crisis). Los resultados mostraron que la circunstancia vital de los estudiantes formados académicamente durante la crisis, se ha asociado con menor satisfacción vital y afrontamiento adaptativo, que el hecho de no haber vivido dicha situación. Este estudio apresa una realidad insuficientemente abordada en trabajos previos, abriendo una vía para futuras investigaciones en esta temática.

En este estudio, hemos querido analizar la relación entre la percepción de maltrato y la experimentación de las diferentes formas de abuso en las relaciones de noviazgo en parejas jóvenes. Igualmente, y según sea dicha percepción, evaluar la influencia que las actitudes ejercen en la experimentación de maltrato dentro de las relaciones de pareja. Para ello, han participado un total de 450 estudiantes de educación Secundaria y Universitarios, de ambos sexos y edades comprendas entre los 18 y 28 años, siendo el  30.2% varones,  y el 69.8% mujeres. Los instrumentos de evaluación utilizados han sido el Cuestionario de Violencia de Novios Reducido, enfocado al estudio de la violencia dentro de las relaciones de noviazgo, y la Escala de Actitud de Rol de Género, que se encuentra destinada a la evaluación de la manifestación de actitudes sexistas o igualitarias. Los resultados muestran que la autopercepcion de maltrato se relaciona significativamente con la experiencia de victimización, al mismo tiempo que las actitudes de carácter sexista favorecerán la probabilidad de experimentar las diferentes formas de maltrato en las relaciones de pareja joven
Resiliencia organizacional sanitaria antes de la pandemia por COVID-19
Authors: Gonçalves Oliveira Lila , Sala Escarrabill Roser
Published: October 2024

La resiliencia organizacional sanitaria es fundamental para enfrentar las crisis repentinas o crónicas, mediante la capacidad de planificación y adaptación. El presente estudio exploratorio tuvo como objetivo describir la resiliencia organizacional percibida por 325 trabajadores sanitarios de Barcelona antes de la pandemia por COVID-19. Los participantes percibieron a sus respectivos hospitales como organizaciones con una resiliencia media, con mayor capacidad de planificación ante las crisis que capacidad de adaptación una vez ocurridas.  Las principales fortalezas de resiliencia fueron la creencia de que los planes de emergencia se deben practicar y la importancia del trabajo de equipo en respuesta a las crisis. Como debilidades se identificaron la falta de conciencia sobre las prioridades para la recuperación y el no alentar la innovación en la resolución de los problemas. Se encontraron diferencias significativas por grupos sociodemográficos, relevantes para el diseño de planes de intervención. Los hallazgos cobran mayor sentido tras la ocurrencia de la pandemia por COVID-19, puesto que representan una línea de base única para futuros estudios. Palabras clave: Resiliencia organizacional, planificación, capacidad adaptativa, crisis, hospitales
Propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Celos patológicos (CECLA): evidencias de validez de constructo en adultos mexicanos y colombianos
Authors: Toro Ronald , Peña-Sarmiento Martha , Mejía-Vélez Susana , Avendaño-Prieto Bertha Lucía , Bernal-Torres Alberto
Published: October 2024

Los celos patológicos son una emoción compleja y han sido considerados una experiencia universal potencialmente violenta. Traen consigo consecuencias negativas para la persona, la pareja o el rival, incluso hasta la muerte. Se asocian a la ira, tristeza, depresión, ansiedad, desconfianza e infidelidad. Sin embargo, en revisiones recientes, no han sido desarrollados suficientes instrumentos de medida de los celos patológicos que permitan el desarrollo de nueva investigación transcultural. El objetivo de la investigación fue recolectar evidencia de validez de la estructura interna tanto en términos de dimensionalidad y concurrencia, como de invarianza entre México (n=257, 70.4% mujeres) y Colombia (n=244, 59.4% mujeres), y fiabilidad de la escala CECLA. El Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio corroboró la estructura interna de los tres factores originales (celos pasionales, obsesivos y delirantes), incluida evidencia de favorable invarianza entre las muestras mexicana y colombiana. Además, se obtuvo evidencia de validez convergente, y se lograron adecuados índices de consistencia interna. Los resultados logrados señalaron que el CECLA es un instrumento útil y recomendable para evaluar celos patológicos en la población mexicana.
When a Bully is President : Children's Literature for Oppressive Times
Authors: Millán Isabel
Published: October 2024

Abstract: Children's literature is not devoid of political discourse. Notwithstanding the value of subtle political messaging, this article examines children's literature with overt political content that provides all readers—children and adults—tools to engage contemporary movements like "Water is Life" or "Black Lives Matter." Such is the case with Maya Gonzalez's (2017a) When a Bully is President: Truth and Creativity for Oppressive Times/Cuando el Presidente es un Bulí: La Verdad y la Creatividad en Tiempos Opresivos , which incorporates major themes such as colonization, slavery, war, and xenophobia through a queer and feminist of color political lens. Rather than shielding readers from social inequalities, Gonzalez reframes these within bully discourse and social justice responses to bullying through what I am identifying as temporal interconnection and collective creativity—as evidenced by the book's call for "truth and creativity." Created during dire times, When a Bully is President invites us to pause, witness, reflect, and engage in collective action in order to cultivate a queer and feminist of color future.
Wynter's Time
Authors: Washington Michael
Published: October 2024

Abstract: Taking the resurgence of critical interest in Sylvia Wynter within contemporary Black cultural theory as its starting point, this essay has two aims: to examine more closely how Wynter has been received recently within Black studies, and to then historicize that critical reception by thinking about how it relates to earlier work (the 1960s–1980s) when Wynter was beginning to develop her own protocols for a critical decolonial and aesthetic theory. Wynter's work on temporality, the cognitive subject, and theories of reading will be the main concern. Although the essay's primary archive is the long arc of Wynter's work and how those interventions have affected some recent turns within Black cultural theory, the piece will also aim to examine more closely the effects of Wynter's interventions through reviewing a number of recent monographs within the theoretical humanities (David Marriott's Whither Fanon?: Studies in the Blackness of Being , Tavia Nyong'o's Afro-Fabulations: The Queer Drama of Black Life , Catherine Malabou's Before Tomorrow: Epigenesis and Rationality , and Katherine McKittrick's Dear Science: and other Stories ) that, when read together, help to describe more clearly the contemporary epistemic atmosphere within which so many new and pathfinding readings of Wynter have been taking place.
"Denial of Equality of Opportunity Is Immoral": The Black Queer Radical Feminism of Ernestine Eckstein
Authors: Mulholland Rebekkah
Published: October 2024

Abstract: This article examines the African American queer radical feminist activist, Ernestine Eckstein, a daughter of the South born in the urban cultural center of Memphis, Tennessee and raised in the Midwest in South Bend, Indiana. This work explores the numerous barriers Eckstein faced due to her multiple intersecting identities. Drawing on oral history, archival records, magazine articles, and newspaper articles, as well as secondary literature, this work contributes to and enhances our understanding of Black and queer histories. I investigate the radical tools of resistance Eckstein employed to challenge systems of oppression constructed by white supremacy including racism, sexism, and misogynoir. Spanning a short historical era, from the mid-to-late 20th century, I explore Eckstein's political awakening and crucial role in the fight against sexual and racial discrimination. Centering Eckstein's life and activism expands ideas and understandings of Black womanhood and highlights discrimination within African American and gay and lesbian communities. In this article I center Eckstein as a fighter for equality in her own narrative rather than at the margins of queer white history and heteronormative Black women's history.
