Study of glucose levels in newborn with reference to hypoglycemia
Authors: Eluzai Gaddam Zion , Poojitha K.
Published: October 2019

Background: Hypoglycemia is one of the common metabolic problems in neonatal medicine. Early diagnosis and treatment of neonatal  hypoglycemia is important as many studies found that, hypoglycaemic episodes in neonates lead to neurodevelopmental and physical growth deficits. In this study, blood glucose levels at different time points were assessed and the influence of maternal blood glucose, mode of delivery, gestational age on neonatal blood glucose levels were studied.Methods: Blood glucose levels were low at 0 and 6th hour and maximum at 24th hour. The blood glucose levels ranged from 27 mg/dl to 140 mg/dl. Neonates with high maternal blood glucose were hypoglycaemic, showing a negative correlation.Results: The mean blood glucose levels were low in pre-term and post term babies compared to term and the range was wide in pre-term and term babies compared to post-term. The mean blood glucose levels were high and range was wide in babies delivered vaginally at all the time points compared to the babies delivered by LSCS. 17% babies were hypoglycaemic at birth but none of them had signs. The major signs noted were jitteriness (88%), high cry (88%), lethargy (55%), tremors (55%), limpness (22%), apathy (22%), weak cry (11%) and poor feeding (11%).Conclusions: 0 and 6th hour are the vulnerable time points for hypoglycaemia. Neonates with high maternal blood glucose, pre-term, post-term and babies delivered by LSCS were more prone for hypoglycaemia requiring blood glucose monitoring. There is a wide variation in signs of hypoglycaemia and babies showing signs require monitoring.
Benign neonatal sleep myoclonus in a child
Authors: Marcos Imella , Saharso Darto , Gunawan Prastiya Indra
Published: October 2019

Benign neonatal sleep myoclonus (BNSM), is a disorder generally mistaken for seizures during the newborn period. Benign neonatal sleep myoclonus is featured by myoclonic "lightninglike" jerks of the extremities that exclusively occur during sleep; it is not associated with epilepsy that occur only during sleep and cease abruptly when the child is agitated. This case reported was a 50 days-old baby boy with a history suggestive of abnormal movements for limbs noted over the preceding 7 days. Diagnosis of BNSM in infant based on history taking, clinical manifestation, and with no electroencephalographic changes. BNSM is usually not associated with any other neurologic impairment and spontaneously subsides within the first year of life. Its importance lies in the differential diagnosis with the epileptic, especially myoclonic, seizures of infancy. BNSM can be misinterpreting for neonatal seizures or even neonatal status epilepticus, the recognition of benign sleep myoclonus of infancy is imperative to elude unnecessary diagnostic studies and treatments.
Is that a scolex? a case of clinically isolated syndrome
Authors: Ma Van K. , Bellevue Lourdemillard , Fuller Maria Espiritu
Published: October 2019

Clinically Isolated Syndrome is an initial demyelinating event of the central nervous system that has been associated with the future development of multiple sclerosis. Diagnostic studies include clinical and paraclinical studies. Patients with lesions on MRI of the brain at baseline will more likely develop multiple sclerosis compared to patients without findings. We report a case of a 10-year-old female of Colombian ancestry and origin, who presented with indiscernible neurological clinical signs and symptoms, with MRI brain with and without contrast showing demyelinating lesions with one lesion “suggesting” a scolex.

Authors: Korday Charusheela , Bhaisara Baraturam , Shah Dhara , Shinde Srinivas , Vasu N. S. K. , Kumar Sanjeev
Published: October 2019

Waardenburg Syndrome (WS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder manifesting with sensorineural deafness, pigmentation defects of the skin, hair and iris and various defects of neural crest derived tissues. A primigravida mother delivered a full term, appropriate for gestational age, 2530 gm female child, by emergency LSCS. Baby was admitted in the NICU in view of features suggestive of Waardenburg syndrome, like white forelock of hair, broad nasal root and hypopigmented patches on the skin for further work up and management. Several members in the family were affected in the last 4 consecutive generations. Our baby was feeding well and discharged home after an uneventful hospital stay. Early diagnosis, detection of findings of hearing loss and the characteristic ophthalmic findings as well as regular follow up is necessary to enable the patient to lead a better quality of life.
A study on the dermatology life quality index in patients with acne vulgaris
Authors: Sivaramakrishnan Sangaiah , Jayakar Thomas
Published: October 2019

Background: Acne vulgaris is a common, chronic disorder, involving inflammation of the pilosebaceous units that can be varied in presentation and difficult to treat. Most adolescents experience some acne; however, it may linger into adulthood. This study was done to evaluate the dermatology life quality index in patients with acne vulgaris.

Methods: A cross sectional study was done with pretested Dermatology life quality index (DLQI) questionnaire on 100 acne patients 15 years and above, in a tertiary care hospital. Interpretation of score and impact on quality of life (QoL) was done and graded as no effect, small effect, moderate effect, and very large effect.

Results: In our study, females outnumbered males (M: F ratio=1: 1.22). The age group most affected was within 15 and 20 years of age. The mean DLQI score was 5.59±4.07. Most of them had a ‘small impact’ on the QoL. QoL was worse in females. The most common grade of acne overall was grade 2 acne. Grade 3 acne was more common in men. Most of the patients (84%) experienced some degree of embarrassment or increased self-consciousness due to their acne.

Conclusions: Our study showed significant impairment of QoL in acne patients. Treatment of acne should not be guided only by the clinical grade of acne, but take into consideration the psychosocial impact the condition has on the patient. Adequate counselling along with early treatment of acne vulgaris is essential in order to reduce the disease-related psychosocial sequelae and increase treatment efficacy.

Authors: Vignesh N. R. , Thomas Jayakar
Published: October 2019

Background: Psoriasis is an immune mediated chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by chronicity of the condition and periods of relapses and remissions. Dermatological life quality index (DLQI) is a widely used measure to determine the patient reported outcome in psoriasis. This study was conducted to evaluate the quality of life in psoriasis patients depending upon their age, sex, type of the disease, duration of the disease and with treatment.

Methods: This is a cross sectional study performed in a tertiary care center in Chennai. The study was performed in 100 patients with a prepared DLQI questionnaire. The patients were asked to fill in the questionnaire and the results were graded from mild to very severe.

Results: In this study, males outnumbered women in the ratio of 1.2:1. Patients in the age group 41-60 years formed the majority in this study. Itching and soreness of the lesions worsened the DLQI in majority of the patients. Quality of life of patients with psoriasis vulgaris was much affected when compared with other types of psoriasis like erythrodermic and scalp psoriasis. Also, married patients with psoriasis had significant impairment in their quality of life compared to unmarried patients.

Conclusions: The findings of this study showed that psoriasis has a significant impairment in the quality of life and hence DLQI should be assessed at the first visit and also after treatment to improve the compliance of the patients towards the doctor as well as to the treatment.

Authors: A. Ramesh , V. Sampath , S. Deepika
Published: October 2019

Background: Today tuberculosis is known to affect every organ, not forgetting the single largest organ of the body- the skin. The study on cutaneous tuberculosis is conducted with the modest aim of studying its epidemiology, clinical features, immunology, histology and treatment.

Methods: Patients with clinical diagnosis of cutaneous tuberculosis were included in study after thorough history, clinical examination, routine and special investigation like AFB staining, Mantoux test and histopathologic studies.

Results: Cutaneous tuberculosis constituted 0.11% of total cases. Lupus vulgaris (LV) topped the list followed by tuberculosis verrucosa cutis (TVC) and scrofuloderma (SFD). Commonest age group was in second to third decades. Males outnumbered females. Most of the LV and TVC lesions were confined to the extremities. SFD was confined to head and neck region. BCG vaccination did not confer immunity against cutaneous tuberculosis as observed in this study. HIV positivity was observed in only one patient in this series although this has been described to be associated commonly with cutaneous infections. Histopathological features were consistent with cutaneous TB in all the patients. All these cases responded well to ATT and those cases which could be followed did not show any recurrence.

Conclusions: This study highlights the incidence of cutaneous tuberculosis with male predilection. Early detection and treatment of lesions are crucial to decrease functional and cosmetic disfigurement, importance of assessing HIV status in patients with multicentric cutaneous tuberculosis and also this study highlights the importance of improving awareness among general practitioners, public health workers and general population.

Authors: Rakitskiy Valery N. , Chkhvirkiya E. G. , Epishina T. M.
Published: October 2019

Introduction. The range of household chemicals is constantly increasing, as a result of which the population is exposed to new detergents that can directly affect the health of the population, constantly in contact with chemicals in everyday life. These circumstances require sanitary and Toxicological study of household chemicals and the development of preventive measures aimed at protecting public health. Purpose of research. To assess the risk of using synthetic detergent based on anionic and nonionic surface active substance (SAS). Material and methods. To determine the average lethal dose (LD50), a sample of detergent was injected into the stomach of 6 male rats at a dose of 5000 mg per 1 kg of body weight. Irritant effect on the skin was determined with a single application of the working solution (1.25%) to 6 rats and 3 rabbits on the trimmed side section at an exposure of 4 h, followed by flushing and into the conjunctival eye bag to 6 Guinea pigs and 3 rabbits. The follow-up period was 14 days. A single skin-resorptive effect of the working solution was studied in 20 rats of two groups of 10 animals in the control group and 10 in the experimental group. Observation period - 14 days. Multiple resorptive action was studied in 20 rats in two groups (10 animals in the control group and 10 in the experimental group) to determine the peripheral blood of animals in the control and experimental groups. The sensitizing effect of the detergent sample was studied on 20 Guinea pigs in two groups (10 in the control group and 10 in the experimental group) by a combined method. Results. LD50 orally for male rats >5000 mg/kg b.w., with a single application to the skin of rats and rabbits and the mucous membrane of the eyes of guinea pigs and rabbits does not cause irritation, does not have skin-resorbtive action (rats), does not have an allergenic effect (guinea pigs). Discussion. According to the results of studies, in accordance with the classification according to the degree of exposure to harmful substances, the tested sample according to acute oral toxicity belongs to the 4th class of danger, irritating effect on the skin and mucous membranes of the eye - 0 points; clinical signs of intoxication with a single and multiple skin-resorptive action was not revealed; sensitizing effect - 0 points. Conclusions. The studied sample of a synthetic detergent according to the parameters of acute toxicity refers to low-risk compounds (LD50 > 5000 mg/kg b.w.), does not have an irritating effect on the skin and mucous membrane of the eye, sensitizing and skin-resorptive action, which allows us to conclude that there is no risk of using the studied sample, household chemicals for the population.

Authors: Gatsura O. A. , Deriushkin Vladimir G. , Gatsura S. V.
Published: October 2019

The authors address the problem of medico-legal literacy of practicing physicians in this paper. Permanent increase in the number of patients’ complaints related to the healthcare quality and management to various authorities proves the importance of this matter. Aim of this study was to investigate and analyze practicing physicians’ opinion on their own readiness (level of training) for legally sound implementation of current regulatory basis in their daily professional activities. Our respondents were also asked about desirable ways of improving the level of their legal awareness. Material and methods. Аn original paper questionnaire was used to estimate self-confidence in legal awareness related to the physician-patient relationship in 395 doctors practicing in Moscow and Moscow Region. The questionnaire included 15 items with Likert-like 10 point scale each as well as one complementary question regarding optimal ways to improve physician’s legal literacy. This instrument displayed high internal consistency with Cronbach’s ɑ = 0.90. Results. Factor analysis of the results confirmed 3 subscales of the questionnaire: (1) direct work with the patient, (2) protection of patients’ rights within the clinic and (3) communication with external organizations. Statistically significant gender and practice venue related differences in respondents’ self-confidence were shown. Discussion. More than 90% preferred practical training as an optimal way of legal literacy improvement. Conclusions. certain legal issues still remain problematic for respondents’ own interpretation therefore the physicians are ready to enhance their knowledge and skills at the practical training sessions.
Sabios y sabiduría en Heródoto
Authors: Ramírez Trejo Arturo E.
Published: October 2019

Sabiduría es un vocablo obsoleto para nuestro tiempo. No se entiende su noción, ni parece que sea algo necesario para los hodiernos acontecimientos. Hace medio siglo todavía se oía nombrar al sabio químico, médico o astrónomo que con su ciencia y conocimiento revolucionaha el conocimiento de las cosas y el curso delos hechos. De los más significativos descubrimientos han surgido contiendas que inevitablemente degeneraron en guerras que han marcado el desarrollo de la historia moderna. Pero la sabiduría ha sido suplantada por la ciencia y la tecnología.
El significado de οὐσία y εἶναι en Aristóteles
Authors: Beuchot Mauricio
Published: October 2019

Hay graves dificultades en cuanto ala significacion de algunas palabras clave que construyen un sistema. Cuando el campo semántico de estas palabras resulta ambiguo y sus límites se diluyen, surgen interpretaciones divergentes del sistema mismo. Tal es el caso de Aristóteles, cuyo concepto central en metafísica -el de οὐσία- no se deja aprehender tan fácilmente, y parece prestarse a interpretaciones equívocas, que afectan la comprensión de su propio sistema o construcción metafísica. Intentaremos buscar una delimitación plausible del campo semántico de οὐσία, esperando que no resulte ser sólo una interpretación más, y en cierto modo distorsionante. Nuestro punto central de referencia será la οὐσία, y el εἶναι sera vistopor relación a ella. Procederemos guiándonos por dos problemas principales, que deberan ser despejados.
Las falacias de petición de principio en la lógica de Fray Alonso de la Vera Cruz
Authors: Beuchot Mauricio , González Ruiz Edgar
Published: October 2019

Como es bien sabido, el tema de las falacias siempre ha sido un elemento importante y casi imprescindible para el estudio de la lógica, dado que constituye el aspecto negativo" de la teoría de la argumentación, es decir, la visualización de la argumentación desde los vicios argumentativos. Tuvo esta importancia ya en Aristóteles -iniciador de este tipo de estudios-, y en la actualidad vuelve a renacer el interés, después de cierto tiempo de decaimiento. Este interés no pudo dejar de sentirse en la escolástica, tanto medieval como posmedieval, donde Aristóteles era el maestro. En ambas épocas de la escolástica la teoría de las falacias recibió valiosas aportaciones más allá de los resultados obtenidos por Aristóteles -lejos de quedarse en esa mera repetición de que muchos han acusado a los escolasticos-. Pues bien, dentro de la escolástica posmedieval, que continúa el espíritu de la que florecio en la Edad Media -pero también con innovaciones-, se situa Fray Alonso de la Vera Cruz, cuya exposición de las falacias de petición de principio intentaremos presentar. Sólo tomaremos una clase de las falacias, precisamente la de petición, porque, además de ser muy difícil y ardua de analizar, es un buen ejemplo del tratamiento efectuado por Fray Alonso.
Hacia la historiografía helenística
Authors: Martínez Lacy Ricardo
Published: October 2019

Sin duda, hay pocas épocas cuya imagen haya variado tanto como la de la helenística. Tal cambio se debe, entre otras causas, a la producción historiográfica sobre ella. En efecto, con la excepción de la obra de Polibio, no se conoce la historia de estos tres siglos de la cuenca oriental del Mediterráneo sino a partir de la historiografía posterior, umánimemente desfavorable y siempre insuficiente. Es, pues, necesario penetrar esta cortina de indiferencia y de aversión, para tratar de alcanzaruna visión constituida a partir de testimonios más directos.
De nuevo sobre And. II, 26 y I, 106
Authors: Ramírez Vidal Gerardo
Published: October 2019

El orador Andócides pertenecía a una de las familias más aristocráticas de la Atenas clásica; su ascendencia, según los antiguos, se remontaba al mismisimo dios Hermes. Afortunadamente podemos reconstruir su árbol genealógico por línea paterna hasta la sexta generación, esto es, hasta el tatarabuelo de su padre. Esto es posible gracias a que se conservan muchos datos sobre su familia en los discursos que el orador compuso en su propio interés, así como en testimonios de carácter diverso (textos históricos, inscripciones áticas, óstraca, etcétera).

Authors: Herrera Zapién Tarsicio
Published: October 2019

Cuando comence a leer ese clásico del suspenso que es El retrato de Dorian Gray (The picture of Dorian Gray), ya sabía que iba a toparme con varios reflejos de la personalidad del propio autor. Y, en efecto, encontre que en esa ficción, el pintor Basil esta avasallado por el brillo juvenil de su amigo Dorian, del mismo modo que, en la vida real, el autor lo ha estado por la juventud de su amigo lord Alfred Douglas.
José Rafael Campoy, hermano mayor y caudillo
Authors: Heredia Correa Roberto
Published: October 2019

Dentro del grupo de jesuitas mexicanos que sufrieron el decreto de extrañamiento de 1767, solemos unir en grupo homogéneo y compacto los nombres de Campoy, Abad, Alegre, Clavigero, Castro. Landivar y otros más. La primera razón de tal agrupamiemo es el hecho de que todos ellos, a excepción de Campoy y Castro, publicaron en Italia obras de valor excepcional en varias disciplinas. Una seguncla razón ofrecen los biógrafos, cuando los muestran en relación estrecha de amistad y colaboración académica en un círculo que a todos abarcaba.

Published: October 2019

Francisco Javier Alegre (1729-1788) belongs to that erudite group of Mexican Jesuits of the eighteenth century, which includes such distinguished authors as Fathers Francisco Javier Clavijero, Rafael Landivar, and Diego José Abad. 0f the entire group, Alegre, historian of his Order, able theologian, and outstanding representative figure of eighteenth century Mexican humanism, was probably the most versatile and enlightened, and undoubtedly the best Latinist. Born in Veracruz, he studied at the Real Univetsidad de México.
La Oratio Athenagorica (1951) de don Antonio Gómez Robledo
Authors: Osorio Romero Ignacio
Published: October 2019

Don Antonio Gómez Robledo (1909) es uno de los más importantes humanistas del México moderno; su sabio discurrir por los campos de la filosofía y del derecho esta intensamente iluminado por el conocimiento profundo y cabal de la antigüedad grecolatina. Pero su saber es, también, un saber comprometido con su personal concepción del mundo en la que compagina a Santo Tomás con Aristóteles. Nada nuevo digo, puesto que él lo ostenta abiertamente, si afirmo que don Antonio Gómez Robledo se afilia la importante tradición mexicana del humanismo cristiano.
El imperialista y el gramático
Authors: Bonifaz Nuño Rubén
Published: October 2019

"Tres son, pues, las casas que tenemos: la libertad, la ciudad,la familia", afirmaba el Derecho Romano (D. 4, 5, de cap.min., L 11 ), estableciendo asi lo que en su raíz constituye la fuente de los derechos de la persona humana; esto es, la esencia de la persona humana misma. Fuente de derechos, la posesión de una familia, de la agnación; igual se puede decir de la ciudadanía, la posesión de una ciudad. Pero tanto la agnación, la posesión de unafamilia, como la ciudadanía, la posesión de una ciudad, requerián, para su existencia y el cumplimiento de su finalidadde otorgar derechos al hombre, de la existencia previa de la libertad como condición indispensable.
De templos y campamentos
Authors: Gaos Schmidt Amparo
Published: October 2019

Releyendo cierto día el relato que Plutarco hace de la fundación de Roma, una súbita asociación de ideas me trajo a la mente el esquema de la disposición de un campamento romano que había visto en una edición de La guerra de las Galias. Sorprendida por la similitud entre el plano de éste y el de aquella, dibujado por las palabras de Plutarco, y deseosa de colmar esa ignorancia mía, emprendí averiguaciones en varias ocasiones entorpecidas o dilatadas por la dificultad de obtener la bibliografía pertinente; con todo, finalmente logre establecer así relaciones antes insospechadas, y recorrí unos intrincados caminos quepara mí, al menos, resultaron muy gratos, por lo cual intento aquí dejar desenrollado su hilo conductor, desde el punto mismo donde se inician, aun cuando la conexión de éste con ellos tal vez no resulte evidente a primera vista.
Asimilación y recreación del adynaton y la similitudo en el libro II de la Rusticatio Mexicana
Authors: Suárez Marcela Alejandra
Published: October 2019

El presente trabajo analiza los vv. 219-234 del L. II de la Rusticatio Mexicana de Rafael Landívar sobre la base de dos figuras: el adynaton como forma expresiva del aenigma, y la similitudo, como su medio aclaratorio. Del análisis se deduce que el adynaton le permite al poeta rescatar y actualizar la tradición clasica, y la similitudo, introducirla tradición cristiana para luego crear su propia síntesis.
Nebrija en Tierracaliente
Authors: Heredia Correa Roberto
Published: October 2019

En 1828 el canónigo Pablo de la Llave, tesorero dignidad de la catedral de Michoacán y botánico ilustre, promovió el establecimiento de unas cátedras de latinidad y teología moral en alguno de los pueblos de Tierracaliente. No era la primera vez que aquella parte del obispado -y de la provincia, intendencia o estado- de Michoacán, tan apartada, tan hostil por el clima y las alimañas, y tan poco tentadora por su general atraso, despertaba el cuidado y la compasión de las autoridades eclesiásticas y civiles.
Fray Tomás de Mercado: lineamientos para una teoría de la traducción
Authors: Navarro Bernabé
Published: October 2019

La importancia actual de la discusión sobre el problema del traslado del pensamiento expresado en una obra antigua a una formulación moderna, la creo relativamente bien conocida para los investigadores actuales, no sólo para los que se han ocupado en realizar alguna traducción, en apoyo a sus propias labores, sino para quienes se han enfretado a la necesidad de utilizar versiones de obras antiguas y advertir en otros autores gran diversidad en las interpretaciones de un mismo texto.
La carta de Epicuro a Meneceo
Authors: Gaos Schmidt Amparo
Published: October 2019

Como tantos otros pueblos de la antigüedad, los griegos vivían atormentados no sólo ya por la ocurrencia de fenómenos celestiales y atmosféricos para ellos inexplicables, sino muy en especial, pues eran singularmente apegados a la vida, por la inminencia de la muerte -fuese esta ya el aniquilamiento de la parte óptima del ser humano, ya el misterioso transite, tal vez no indoloro, a una existencia ultraterrena de sedes y formas igualmente misteriosas o, peor aun, acerbas-, así como por la creencia en dioses controladores de los actos humanos e inmisericordemente mortíferos.
Status y funcionalidad del agón bucólico en el Idilio VII de Teócrito
Authors: Crespo María Inés , Saconi Patricia M.
Published: October 2019

Este trabajo tiene por objeto realizar un análisis del status del agón bucólico y su funcionalidad en el ldilio VII de Teócrito, estableciendo que tipo de confrontación se desarrolla por medio de los cantos, cuál es la relación que existe entre las cancionesentonadas por los personajes -Lícidas y Simíquidas- y el marco en que se ubican desde el punto de vista narrativo -el viaje a la fiesta de las Talisias-, y cómo juega en este caso el principio de analogía inherente al género bucólico.

Authors: Suárez Marcela A.
Published: October 2019

El presente trabajo analiza el campo semántico del temor en algunos pasajes de la Septuaginta, la ΚΑΙΝΗ ΔΙΑΘΗΚΗ y la Vulgala, sobre la base del subcampo nominal, el subcampo verbal y los contextos inmediatos. De este modo, se intenta definir el valor de los lexemas de temor en términos de posición y oposición dentro del sistema semántico.

Los estudios actuales sobre los ejércitos helenísticos
Authors: Martínez Lacy Ricardo
Published: October 2019

Los ejércitos de los estados helenísticos eran la institución más importante. En los últimos cincuenta años su estudio no ha correspondido a esa importancia. Maurice Launey escribió una extensa monografía que es imprescindible, pero en ella los temas estan definidos por un esquema previamente definido. Desde su publicación, en 1950, no se ha vuelto a tratar el tema en toda su extension. Se han hecho síntesis de otras obras, se han publicado documentos y se ha planteado la necesidadde su estudio, pero no se ha abordado el asunto en toda su complejidad.
La reflexión teórica sobre la comedia en el s. IV a. n. e. y en los tratados peripatéticos posteriores
Authors: Miranda Cancela Elina
Published: October 2019

El siglo IV a. n. e. marca un momento crítico en cuanto al teatro se refiere: la tragedia cesa de evolucionar en un sentido creador, mientras que la comedia atraviesa un período de transición en busca de una nueva fórmula, dramática y expresiva. Con la obra filosófica de Platón y Aristóteles, los géneros teatrales se convierten en objeto teórico. A través del análisis de las reflexiones de estos filósofos, diseminadas en su vasta obra, sobre la comedia, así como de las fuentes peripatéticas posteriores, nos proponemos desentrañar los conceptos sobre el género y los cambios en su valoración de acuerdo con los propios desarrollos de la comedia y de su recepción.
CASTELLANOS MORENO, Éricka, El polifacético español, enfoques etimológicos, semánticos y psicosociales, México, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México / Escuela Nacional Preparatoria (Serie Humanidades Bachiller, 11), 2002
Authors: Herrera Zapién Tarsicio
Published: October 2019

La autora leyó el libro El alma de las palabras. Diseño de semántica general, del polígrafo colombiano Félix Restrepo, y quedó de acuerdo con otros especialistas de decenios anteriores. Restrepo había creado una pequeña obra maestra de síntesis acerca del denso tema de la semántica castellana vista a partir de las lenguas clásicas. Lo que hacía falta era actualizar su ejemplificación con vocablos usuales en el México actual, y aligerar mucho las explicaciones, que para los lectores actuales resultan a veces un tanto indigestas. Así que la autora se ha propuesto darnos aquí un libro breve y al mismo tiempo sustancioso con una sistemática condensación y con una nueva lluvia de aplicaciones. Su ejemplificación conserva los pasajes más memorables de Restrepo, y les añade series de ejemplos usuales hoy día entre nosotros.
LEGORRETA SALAZAR, Martha Laura, Introducción al estudio de la lengua latina, México, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México / Proyectos Académicos Institucionales. Escuela Nacional Preparatoria, 2003
Authors: Herrera Zapién Tarsicio
Published: October 2019

El libro Introducción al estudio de la lengua latina, de Martha Laura Legorreta Salazar, que antes fuera nuestra alumna y ahora es nuestra colega, se ha proyectado con un plan ambicioso. En efecto, la autora desea acoplar el estudio de la gramática latina con el de la etimología correspondiente. Pero, como toda labor ambiciosa, ha corrido muchos peligros, y a veces no se ha salvado de los escollos previsibles. El primer escollo es también un mérito. Al ilustrar las raíces latinas, la autora busca ejemplos novedosos.
El mal y lo ilimitado en la filosofía de Proclo
Authors: Maurete Pablo
Published: October 2019

Este artículo tiene por objetivo la interpretación del análisis que lleva a cabo Proclo de la naturaleza de los males, a la luz de dos principios fundamentales de su metafísica, como lo son el “límite” (péras) y lo “ilimitado” (ápeiron). Según Proclo los males existen únicamente en la multiplicidad sensible y subsisten asidos a algún bien, del cual se nutren y al cual corrompen. Por otra parte, los males son básicamente impulsos hacia lo inferior que llevan a las almas a hundirse en la materia, en lugar de ascender y retornar hacia su fuente de origen divina. La noción de ilimitado ayudará a entender este impulso hacia lo bajo y hacia lo múltiple, y procurará hacer evidente tanto la necesidad  de los males como su insignificancia en la dinámica del todo.
