THE EFFECT OF BANK DENSITY ON FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE
Authors: Simeonovski Kiril , Naumovska Elena , Petkovski Mihail
Published: January 2021

This paper provides evidence about the link between bank density as a form of financial deepening, and financial development and economic performance. We construct a panel of European countries and develop a dynamic regression model with GDP dynamics up to three lags and a full set of fixed effects to study the effect that the number of bank branches and automated teller machines per capita have on real GDP per capita. Our baseline estimates point out to a weak negative impact of the increased number of bank branches per capita on economic performance by around 0.3 per cent annually. We find similar results from the subsequent IV and GMM estimates as well as when swapping the population basis of the bank density measures with the area. The IV strategy reveals that our both measures are endogenous with the respect to the level of urbanisation and the share of Internet users up to three lags. We further include financial development as a covariate and find weaker negative impact of the number of bank branches and a weak positive impact of the number of automated teller machines by about 0.15 per cent annually. Our estimates with respect to financial development reveal that both bank measures can be considered significant drivers given the positive impact of about 0.8 to 1.2 percentage points obtained for the number of bank branches and about 0.6 to 0.7 percentage points for the number of automated teller machines. We do not find any significant differences between the countries with harmonised regulations and shared currency as a result of the EU and Eurozone membership.
La mecánica ondulatoria llega a España: Schrödinger en la Universidad Internacional de Santander, agosto de 1934
Authors: Pérez Canals Enric , Gimeno Gonzalo , Xipell Gómez del Moral Mercedes , Baig i Aleu María
Published: January 2021

We describe and analyze the details of the first visit of the Viennese physicist Erwin Schröding-er to Spain, in the summer of 1934. The reason for the trip was the invitation he received from the International University of Santander, a meeting he attended after participating in the XIV Conference of the Spanish Association for the Advancement of Science that took place that same summer in Santiago de Compostela. We will discuss the impact of this visit on the first developments of quantum mechanics in Spain and see the role that personalities such as Xavier Zubiri or Blas Cabrera played in this episode. We will also put this visit in the context of Schrödinger’s personal and academic life, especially as regards the content of his talks. We will see that what he presented in Santiago and Santander should be considered as an advan-ce of his criticism of the orthodox interpretation of quantum mechanics. We leave for a second installment the trip he made in the spring of 1935, less than a year later, this time with his wife Annie, and in which he delivered various conferences and courses on wave mechanics in Madrid.

This study was conducted to assess the factors influencing milk quality from dairy farmers in the Deam ALgarri aera in Sudan. A total of twenty row cow’s milk samples were collected from dairy farmers. The physicochemical parameters, bacteriological quality, milk adulteration and drug residues were assessed. The presence and enumeration of microorganisms was done based on Total Plate Count (TPC), Total Coliform Count (TCC), Total Staphylococcal count (TSC), and detection of pathogenic E. coli (O157: H7). The mean value of aerobic bacteria in the milk samples showed the higher TPC, TCC followed by TSC which were 111608 CFU/ml (log 4.95), 8145CFU/ml (log 3.42) and 6793.25 CFU/ml (log 3.29) respectively. The result of the detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 which is a major foodborne pathogen causing severe disease in humans worldwide, all milk samples appear free from this pathogenic bacterium. The results of the physical properties of cow milk showed normal flavor, taste and colors, and higher pH (7.12), and total water (156%), the exception was the freezing point (- 0.444) and specific gravity while showed lower value (1.029) compared to SSMO limits but within FAO limits. The chemical properties of cow milk showed high amount of protein content (3.49%), lower solid not fat (SNF) which was (7.97%), Lactose (3.73%) and total solid (TS) (0.58%) when compared to both Sudanese Standard and Metrology Organization (SSMO) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) standards. The result of presence or absence of antibiotic residue to the all milk samples was indicated absence antibiotic residues with (6 mm) and (7 mm) zone inhibitor against Bacillus subtilis. Isolation and identification of some pathogenic bacteria was performed according to standard methods, the results demonstrated the presence of food-borne microorganisms E. coli, klebsiela, sp, Pseudomonas sp, and Shiglla sp. with percentages of 31.1%, 29.7%, 38.4%, and 1% respectively, the presence of these bacteriological quality in the raw milk samples indicted an urgent need to implement good hygiene practices from farm to the consumer.
Wavelet Transform for Forward and Inverse
Authors: Vikram Karimella
Published: January 2021

In this research, an architecture that performs both forward and inverse lifting-based discrete wavelet transform is proposed. The proposed architecture reduces the hardware requirement by exploiting the redundancy in the arithmetic operation involved in DWT computation. The proposed architecture does not require any extra memory to store intermediate results. The proposed architecture consists of predict module, update module, address generation module, control unit and a set of registers to establish data communication between predict and update modules. The symmetrical extension of images at the boundary to reduce distorted images has been incorporated in our proposed architecture as mentioned in JPEG2000. This architecture has been described in VHDL at the RTL level and simulated successfully using Model Sim simulation environment.
A Novel Technique to Precise the Diagnosis of Power Transformer Internal Faults
Authors: Rao U. Mohan , Kumar D.Vijay
Published: January 2021

Power transformers are to be monitored frequently to avoid catastrophic failures which are more or less related to internal faults for which many techniques and tools are developed, somehow many of these techniques rely on experts analysis and are well effected by environmental conditions which leads to misdiagnosing of the unit. In this paper a new fuzzy logic algorithm (FLA) based technique is developed which gives the vulnerability status of internal faults by considering thermal, electrical and mechanical conditions prevailing in the transformer and integrating them. This system takes a set of test results of dissolved gas analysis, break down voltage, and sweep frequency response analysis so that aliasing effects and misdiagnosing can be reduced at a glance. It also facilitates to give current prevailing condition of Paper thermal, Oil thermal, Partial discharge, Electrical arching, oil break down voltage, and mechanical deformations related with core and windings individually so that corresponding remedies can be taken by the technologists. This system consists of 10 fuzzy logic controllers and is connected by considering technical conditions and reasons, the rule bases of these controllers were developed by considering various standards and experience of TIFAC CORE in NIT-Hamirpur. This fuzzy logic based system is tested and found that it is highly precise in classifying the critical statues of any transformer, reducing misdiagnosing and aliasing effects and identifying the current prevailing conditions.

Published: January 2021

This paper presents a differential evolution (DE) based methodology to relieve congestion and improve quality and cost efficacy of generated power ,formulating a ‘penalty based congestion constrained OPF problem’ in a hybrid thermal-wind power farm . To satisfy the need of future demand , in view of the growing concern over industrial impact of conventional power plants, the main hindrance in application of Wind power plant apart from uncertainty is its elevated cost. Employing an approach of ‘Demand sensitive loss factor’ (DSLF) to select the worst possible inadvertent states of the system and the weakest bus of the system in active, reactive loading the algorithm attempts to reschedule the generators to bring down the individual line flows to provide better congestion management keeping in view of minimization of the cost of generation and the line losses not only at normal condition but also stressed loading condition and contingency cases. The results also illuminate a profitable economic situation in favor of proposed system at increased loading where total line loss decreases and total cost in conventional and proposed system converges, also not to forget the better operating conditions in comparison to conventional system. The efficiency of the proposed system has been tested on a modified IEEE 30 bus benchmark system.
Content Based Image Retrieval Using SVM Algorithm
Authors: Kumar K. Ashok , Reddy Y.V. Bhaskar
Published: January 2021

Conventional content-based image retrieval (CBIR) schemes employing relevance feedback may suffer from some problems in the practical applications. First, most ordinary users would like to complete their search in a single interaction especially on the web. Second, it is time consuming and difficult to label a lot of negative examples with sufficient variety. Third, ordinary users may introduce some noisy examples into the query. This correspondence explores solutions to a new issue that image retrieval using unclean positive examples. In the proposed scheme, multiple feature distances are combined to obtain image similarity using classification technology. To handle the noisy positive examples, a new two step strategy is proposed by incorporating the methods of data cleaning and noise tolerant classifier. The extensive experiments carried out on two different real image collections validate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Published: January 2021

This paper presents the study of carbonization systems for the production of Bamboo Charcoal which is formed on dry distillation of raw bamboo. The paper mentions the drawbacks of the conventional practices of production of Bamboo Charcoal. Design of a new charcoal production unit is aimed at eliminating the identified drawbacks in the present methodology of production making the process of production faster and more efficient by minimizing heat loss during the production process. Designing is attempted with strong consideration for manufacture, operational cost and ease of operation of the furnace as the process finds application amongst rural people with little or no technical knowhow, making simplicity of design absolutely critical for implementation of the developed technology. Results of testing and experimentation presented in this paper describe the working prototype confirming qualitative and quantitative improvements in the bamboo charcoal being produced as compared to the conventional method of production.
OPTIMIZATION OF ORTHOPAEDIC DRILLING: A TAGUCHI APPROACH
Authors: PANDEY RUPESH KUMAR , PANDA S.S.
Published: January 2021

Bone drilling is a common procedure to prepare an implant site during orthopaedic surgery. An increase in temperature during such a procedure can result in thermal ostenecrosis which may delay healing or reduce the stability of the fixation. Therefore it is important to minimize the thermal invasion of bone during drilling. The Taguchi method has been applied to investigate the optimal combination of drill diameter, feed rate and spindle speed in dry drilling of Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) for minimizing the temperature produced.

INTRODUCTION

As the new batch of physicians in the Department of Medicine of the Philippine General Hospital, University of the Philippines Manila (UP-PGH) started their residency in January 2020, COVID-19 was only a disease that was heard of in the news, as it was spreading in China. When the first few patients with coughs and colds would ask us whether it was nCOV (as it was known then), we would not even consider it; we just gently reassured them. Then, the first patient in the country with COVID-19 was admitted on the last week of January 2020,1prompting various local and national efforts to try to prevent its further spread. Even then, hospital operations and training activities went on as usual except that more people wore masks and practiced social distancing. When the government declared community quarantine for the whole of Luzon mid-March due to the rise in confirmed cases, hospital operations slowed down as the outpatient department (OPD) was closed and workforce was minimized. Before the month ended, the hospital would be designated to be one of the COVID-19 referral centers.2
What is the Second Sedative Agent to Add to Dexmedetomidine for Sedation of COVID-19 Patients?
Authors: Tan-Lim Carol Stephanie C. , Martinez Corinna Victoria
Published: January 2021

KEY FINDINGS

At present, there are no studies that evaluate the efficacy or safety of dexmedetomidine with another sedative agent among coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. Possible adverse events should be carefully considered in the choice of an add-on sedative agent.

• Adequate sedation is important among ventilated COVID-19 patients. Dexmedetomidine is an alpha2-adrenergic receptor agonist that produces sedation, analgesia and anxiolysis. It preserves respiratory function even when given in high doses; thus, it is commonly used for COVID-19 patients.• Due to the high cost of dexmedetomidine, a common clinical practice is to use dexmedetomidine in combination with other sedatives.• Co-administration of dexmedetomidine with other sedatives has an additive effect. Possible adverse effects of combination treatment include hypotension, bradycardia, and delirium.• There are no completed or ongoing clinical trials that evaluate the efficacy or safety of dexmedetomidine with another sedative agent among COVID-19 patients.• Currently, there are no guidelines that specifically mention the recommended add-on sedative agent to dexmedetomidine for sedation of COVID-19 patients.• The World Health Organization recommends light sedation and minimizing continuous or intermittent sedation among suspected COVID-19 patients with severe acute respiratory infection.• Consensus statements for mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients recommend using dexmedetomidine, lidocaine or opioids during extubation to minimize coughing.• Clinical practice guidelines for sedation among critically ill, mechanically ventilated adult patients recommend the use of propofol or dexmedetomidine over benzodiazepines due to decreased time to extubation, duration of stay in the intensive care unit, and incidence of delirium.
A transculturação e as subjetividades híbridas nas releituras de Robinson Crusoé
Authors: Moraes Carla Denize
Published: January 2021

O presente trabalho procura realizar uma análise de releituras pós-coloniais do clássico Robinson Crusoé (1719), de Daniel Defoe. As obras, Sexta-feira ou os limbos do Pacífico (1967), romance de Michel Tournier e Crusoe (1988), filme de Caleb Deschanel, contemplam reflexão crítica a respeito da transculturação e seus efeitos no processo de transformação das identidades coloniais e serão estudadas por meio de análise comparativa interartes, com o objetivo de determinar e expor o modo como a arte ressignifica o passado à luz das concepções contemporâneas de forma a promover possíveis mudanças de perspectiva sobre as subjetividades envolvidas no processo colonial. Para sustentar nossas reflexões sobre cultura recorremos ao estudo de Homi K. Bhabha (2013), a respeito da transculturação, nos guiamos pela pesquisa de Fernando Ortiz (1983) e nos apoiamos no estudo de Nestor García Canclini (2013), para falar sobre hibridismo. Partimos do pressuposto de que a arte reflete o contexto no qual está inserida e, por isso, tanto pode reiterar o imaginário de seu tempo - e assim colaborar para a permanência do status quo – quanto subverter a realidade para dar-lhe novo sentido. Dessa forma, demonstraremos que a arte contemporânea, ao transcontextualizar enredo e personagens, cumpre seu papel de questionar e refletir sobre o discurso hegemônico presente na narrativa do século XVIII e, assim, colaborar com a tentativa de descolonização do pensamento.
De fosas, exterminio e impunidad en Michoacán. Una reflexión desde la historia reciente
Authors: Oikión Solano Verónica
Published: January 2021

El artículo propone una mirada inquisitiva a un fenómeno muy poco atendido en la historia reciente de Michoacán. Me refiero al repertorio de la desaparición que siembra cuerpos en vilo; su no estar es el tiempo detenido de miles de personas. El accionar del crimen organizado y de las bandas delincuenciales –en muchos casos con la complicidad de las instancias de gobierno y de seguridad pública- privilegian una lógica macabra con el fin de producir un sufrimiento profundo –lo más inimaginable posible- para las víctimas y sus familiares.

Evidenciar la ruta criminal y desentrañar el laberinto de la desaparición en distintos puntos del estado de Michoacán, pondrá al lector/a frente a una ventana de visibilidad para miles de casos; son hombres y mujeres cuya historicidad se pretendió borrar con métodos de exterminio. La historia debe asumir su función social al documentar si existe o no la voluntad del Estado de buscar a las personas desaparecidas. La Comisión de Búsqueda de Personas Desaparecidas en el Estado de Michoacán es, actualmente, un tímido esfuerzo para lograr dicho objetivo. Mientras tanto, los familiares claman ni olvido, ni perdón.

In current years, a large amount of image data is being collected worldwide, which is majorly generated by corporate organizations, health industry and social networking sites. With the strength of substantial level depiction of images, Annotating image has numerous applications not only in image understanding and analysis but also in some of the concern domain like medical research, rural and urban management. Automatic Image Annotation (AIA) has been raised since the late 1990s due to inherent weaknesses of manual image annotation. In this paper, a deep review of the most recent stage in the development of AIA methods is presented by synthesizing 32 literatures published during the past decades. We classify AIA methods into ﬁve categories: 1) Kernel Logistic Regression (KLR), 2) Tri-relational Graph (TG), 3) Semantically Regularised CNN- RNN (S-CNN-RNN), 4) Label Correlation guided Deep Multi-view (LCDM), and 5) Multi-Modal Semantic Hash Learning (MMSHL). Considering inspiration on the basis of main idea, framework of model, complexity of computation, time complexity and accuracy in annotation Comparative analysis for various AIA methods are done.

Teniendo en cuenta que son pocas las empresas que propician el establecimiento de sus propias bibliotecas, se deduce que los recursos bibliográficos existentes no son suficientes
Tentativa epigráfica de la decena (340): Derecho
Authors: Ruiz de La Cruz Carlos
Published: January 2021

La ausencia en la bibliotecología peruana e inclusive hispanoamericana de listas de epígrafes adaptadas a nuestra realidad y terminología vigentes, aúncuando algunas publicadas tratan de desarrollar en lo posible el DERECHO y sus temas específicos, no llegan a satisfacer plenamente su cometido debido sin duda a diferencias jurídicas o porque en muchos casos resultan anticuados por los cambios habidos en la legislación o por motivos que obedecen a razones de inaplicabilidad, tal sería por ejemplo una relación epigráfica redactada por un estadounidense cuyo derecho como bien sabemos procede del anglosajón, mientras que en los países de latinoamérica es base fundamental el derecho romano y español. De allí que el uso de esa relación dada en su exacta traducción literal sería para nosotros un tanto restringido. Teniendo en cuenta estos antecedentes y pensando en la utilidad que pueda merecer en las bibliotecas públicas, particularmente en aquellas especializadas en el campo jurídico, elegí ésta temática como tesis para optar el título de bibliotecario.
La Relación inédita de Pedro López : un cronista imaginativo
Authors: Lohmann Villena Guillermo
Published: January 2021

Aunque el manuscrito que ahora se redime de su condición de inédito no es en rigor una crónica, sino más bien un conjunto de impresiones de viaje, no es improcedente sumar el nombre de su autor a la falange de los cronistas clásicos de la Conquista del Perú, y en particular de los que nos informan sobre las dramáticas etapas de las contiendas promovidas por Gonzalo Pizarro y Francisco Hernández Girón. Con aquella «poca abilidad y mal rromanze» de que se duele, entretejió el Capitán Pedro López una desgarbada narración de sus andanzas y peripecias por el escenario que se dilata desde el istmo de Panamá hasta los confines australes del Continente.

No hay inconveniente en admitir que esta «Relación» ocupará por cierto un lugar no muy preeminente en el elenco de los testimonios históricos de la colonización de nuestro Hemisferio.
Carácter, unidad y sentido de la Cultura antigua del Perú
Authors: Silva Santisteban Fernando
Published: January 2021

La arqueología dista mucho todavía de haber revelado la verdadera magnitud y el significado de las obras realizadas por la Antigua Cultura del Perú; sin embargo, por lo que hasta la fecha se sabe con certeza, no cabe duda de que se trata de una de las manifestaciones más extraordinarias entre las grandes culturas universales. Los museos más importantes del mundo atesoran y muestran las piezas del arte peruano prehispánico como ejemplares realmente excepcionales. Y, reivindicadas en su dimensión ecuménica por los estudiosos de todas partes, las "cosas de indios" como hasta hace poco se les llamaba, han alcanzado el alto grado de admiración que entraña la jerarquía del espíritu que simbolizan.

El Perú prehispánico fue uno de los escasos focos originales de cultura. La Civilización Andina, o Peruana, y la Egipcia o Nilótica son -separadamente, por cierto- las únicas entre las altas culturas universales que no tienen vinculación filial con otros antecedentes.
Juan Espinoza Medrano: prefacio al lector de la Lógica
Authors: Redmond Walter
Published: January 2021

Presentamos aquí una traducción del prefacio 'Cándido Lectori' de la Lógica de Juan de Espinoza Medrano, 'el Lunarejo' (1632-1688). El escrito es especialmente interesante por la defensa de América que contiene. El autor se siente 'obligado' a publicar su obra para desmentir la falsa opinión de Lipsio y otros europeos acerca de la vida intelectual del Nuevo Mundo, y elabora una ingeniosa y graciosa 'demostración' de las excelencias de su patria. Inclusive teme que las posibles erratas en la impresión de su Lógica se interpreten en Europa como equivocaciones del autor, con menoscabo de la reputación de los pensadores americanos. Menciona también que los americanos tienen menos incentiva y oportunidad para publicar sus obras que los europeos, de lo cual se queja también Ignacio de Quesada, procurador general de la orden dominica, en su "Censura y Aprobación' de la La Novena Maravilla.

The article considers two paradigms of the center-periphery interaction in the mixed and multiethnic systems. The historical examples show the peculiarities of the colonial paradigm where the peripheral culture is suppressed and displaced by the culture of the center (metropolis). The eparchial paradigm is based on cross-cultural interaction and enrichment between the center and the provinces. Within the final decades of the 20th century, the eparchial principle was replaced by the “cultural colonization” on the global scale. As a result, the “global West” culture is degrading to its lowest terms, which has a negative impact on the sphere of education.
Constructing fast and representative analytical models of wind turbine main bearings
Authors: Stirling James , Hart Edward , Kazemi Amiri Abbas
Published: January 2021

Abstract. This paper considers the modelling of wind turbine main bearings using analytical models. The validity of simplified analytical representations used in existing work is explored by comparing main-bearing force reactions with those obtained from higher-fidelity 3D finite-element models. Results indicate that there is good agreement between the analytical and 3D models in the case of a non-moment-reacting support (such as for double-row spherical roller bearings), but the same does not hold in the moment-reacting case (such as for double-row tapered roller bearings). Therefore, a new analytical model is developed in which moment reactions at the main bearing are captured through the addition of torsional springs. This latter model is shown to significantly improve the agreement between analytical and 3D models in the moment-reacting case. The new analytical model is then used to investigate load characteristics, in terms of forces and moments, for this type of main bearing across different operating points and wind conditions.

Published: January 2021

Las series sobre narcotráfico han sido objeto de debate, producto de sus contenidos, sin embargo, no hay estudios sobre su recepción entre los espectadores mexicanos. Esta investigación, de corte cualitativo, busca conocer la opinión de los jóvenes mexicanos respecto a este tipo de seriados. Se concluye que los televidentes reciben gratificaciones de entretención e información, a la vez que infieren una crítica a las instituciones gubernamentales.
Racimo. De los crímenes locales a los crímenes de la globalización
Authors: Oliver Felipe
Published: January 2021

El novelista chileno Alejandro Zambra planteó la existencia de una novela de "los hijos" para referirse a las narraciones producidas por quienes vivieron la dictadura chilena durante la infancia.  De acuerdo con Zambra, el haber vivido la experiencia desde una conciencia distinta a la de los padres genera un desplazamiento en el modo en el que la memoria se hace relato.  Si aceptamos la existencia de una novela escrita por los padres y otra por los hijos, ¿es posible entonces pensar en una novela de los "nietos"? Entendiendo por esto un nuevo desplazamiento en la representación de la memoria presente en las narraciones producidas por los autores nacidos en la democracia. La novela Racimo de Diego Zúñiga evoca efectivamente el pasado traumático chileno desde una mirada peculiar que intenta vincular el Golpe de Estado de 1973 con los atentados terroristas en Nueva York en el 2001.  Esto supone un ejercicio interesante al interrogar la memoria local desde las problemáticas globales contemporáneas.

Silencios y repeticiones de la violencia en Colombia. La novela histórica como ontología crítica del presente
Authors: Blanco García Jorge Enrique
Published: January 2021

Este trabajo aborda el oficio autoral de la novela histórica contemporánea como una práctica que permite configurar una ontología crítica del presente, es decir, un campo de reflexión que indaga por el estatuto ontológico de la actualidad. En el caso colombiano, la ficción histórica se ha interesado por interpretar estéticamente el pasado de las violencias y del conflicto armado como mecanismo para comprender el devenir del presente. Este ensayo propone que las novelas históricas, aunque se ubiquen en un espacio-tiempo ya transitado, mantienen su matriz de sentido anclada a la interpelación de la realidad vigente. Para tal fin, se analizan las novelas El Crimen del siglo (2006) de Miguel Torres y Tanta sangre vista (2007) de Rafael Baena.
Giro rural y memorias del conflicto armado en la novela colombiana del siglo XXI
Authors: Saldarriaga Gutiérrez Sebastián
Published: January 2021

La memoria muestra la necesidad de construir relatos que afronten el duelo sin desactivar su potencia política. Para esto, siguiendo a Rancière y a Agamben, es preciso promover el disenso haciendo visibles las “partes sin-parte” del cuerpo social y las fisuras del presente, lo que se puede percibir en narraciones del “giro rural”, una tendencia cada vez mayor en la literatura latinoamericana. En el caso de Colombia, este desplazamiento, estrechamente vinculado con la construcción de memorias del conflicto armado, reivindica relatos soslayados por los principales discursos sobre la violencia, como el daño a los ecosistemas y el despojo de territorios campesinos y ancestrales. Para determinar la relación entre las memorias del conflicto armado y el giro rural, analizo dos novelas: Los derrotados, de Pablo Montoya, y Elástico de sombra, de Juan Cárdenas. A partir de las similitudes y diferencias entre ambas, esbozaré al final algunas líneas generales sobre el giro rural y su importancia en la literatura actual.
Del sonido del Pueblo a los ecos del pasado. Las versiones de La pasión según Trelew, de Tomás Eloy Martínez (1973-2009)
Authors: García Victoria
Published: January 2021

La pasión según Trelew ocupa un lugar paradójico en la obra de Tomás Eloy Martínez. Por un lado, es el libro que le cambió la vida al autor, según él mismo lo ha descrito, y el único cuyo proceso de escritura atravesó prácticamente todas las etapas de su producción literaria: apareció originalmente en 1973 y fue reeditado en 1997 y 2009, cada vez con variaciones textuales introducidas por el autor. Por otro lado, el libro parece constituir la cristalización de una concepción de la escritura, sustentada en la confianza en los absolutos y en la confrontación militante entre lo verdadero y lo falso, de la que el escritor buscó distanciarse en momentos ulteriores de su trayectoria. En este artículo nos proponemos analizar el modo en que ese desplazamiento se inscribe en las distintas versiones del libro. Veremos que las versiones de 1997 y 2009 tienden a diluir la confrontación entre verdad y mentira que inicialmente daba forma al relato de los hechos ocurridos en Trelew en 1972. Asimismo, las reescrituras le restan protagonismo al Pueblo como sujeto colectivo que proveía fundamento a la confrontación entre verdad y mentira organizadora del texto.
Articulaciones de la violencia contra la mujer en el marco de las narrativas del conflicto armado colombiano
Authors: Ramírez López Wilmar A.
Published: January 2021

Algunas de las narrativas recientes del conflicto colombiano han puesto el énfasis de la representación en la diversidad de repertorios de violencia que se inscriben, en el marco del conflicto armado, sobre los cuerpos de las mujeres. En este sentido, estas representaciones articulan un régimen de visibilidad, al problematizar los modos en que estas violencias se encuentran estructuradas y legitimadas en el marco social. En este artículo se analizan las formas específicas en que la violencia opera sobre los cuerpos femeninos en las novelas: Era mucho el miedo (2016) de Gloria Inés Peláez, La fruta del borrachero (2018) de Ingrid Rojas Contreras y La sembradora de cuerpos (2019) de Philip Potdevin.
Perspectivas múltiples del conflicto paramilitar en dos novelas colombianas recientes: Viaje al interior de una gota de Sangre (2011) de Daniel Ferreira y El espantapájaros de Ricardo Silva Romero (2012)
Authors: Urgelles Ingrid , Santos Danilo
Published: January 2021

La violencia representada narrativamente en Colombia ha contemplado al menos tres ejes: la guerrilla, el paramilitarismo y el narcotráfico. La literatura se ha ocupado de estos temas, al poder identificarse entre ellos diversos (sub)géneros narrativos del conflicto armado como las novelas de desplazados, la sicaresca o novela del narcotráfico y también aquellos modos constitutivos relacionados con la guerrilla y la violencia paramilitar. Es esta última la que se explora en este artículo, al concentrarse en la representación novelesca de los textos literarios que abordan asuntos del paramilitarismo. Para lo anterior, se trabajará con dos novelas de aparición casi simultánea Viaje al interior de una gota de Sangre (2011) de Daniel Ferreira y El espantapájaros de Ricardo Silva Romero (2012). En ambas se relata la desparición de una población con la matanza indiscriminada de hombres, mujeres y niños a través de masacres. Narrativamente, estos relatos no se reducen únicamente a la masacre, pero este modo de impartir violencia tiene una importancia radical en la construcción de las historias. Historias que son mostradas a partir de perspectivas múltiples que incluyen usualmente a las víctimas y, paradojalmente, a los mismos victimarios. Este enjambre de voces establece una conexión con la masacre como experiencia de exterminio colectivo y como propiedad también discursiva del mismo género. Para el artículo es de radical importancia la confluencia de estas voces que desatan el nudo de la mortandad en perspectivas de inclusión tanto de la esfera de la víctima como se podría corroborar en otras novelas, así como la inclusión de las masculinidades victimizadoras. Estas últimas presupuestas en la aparición de las voces heterogéneas del grupo paramilitar que muestra, particularmente, Ricardo Silva Romero.
Tierra quemada by Óscar Collazos as an Allegory of Displacement in Colombia
Authors: Dhondt Reindert
Published: January 2021

Through the portrayal of never-ending march of a caravan of internally displaced persons (IDPs), the novel Tierra quemada (2013) by the Colombian author Óscar Collazos explores the interrelation between different forms of violence and their devastating impact on the peripheric outposts of Colombia. This article proposes an allegorical reading of the novel by examining how it represents the difficulty to break the cycle of violence and the impact of a low-intensity conflict on the IDPs, without presenting a voyeuristic perspective of the violence nor a Manichean vision of the armed conflict.
Speaking Medicine in the Silent Language: An Experience with a Deaf Patient in Sri Lanka
Authors: Jayawardana Hettiarachchige Diluksha Prasad
Published: January 2021

Being deaf can pose challenges in everyday living, due to the fact that most deaf people cannot effectively communicate with the majority of non-deaf people in society. Effective communication plays a vital role when seeking medical services. As a developing nation, there have been several steps taken in Sri Lanka to bridge the communication gap between deaf and non-deaf people. Nevertheless, there is still a need to introduce a cost-effective communication system in governmental healthcare services. This experience highlights the importance of bridging the gap between healthcare providers and deaf patients, and suggests possible cost-effective ways to provide better quality healthcare services.
