Este artículo retoma un estudio de caso en torno a la categoría local música con mensaje . El grupo de rock Arme la tortilla en lengua otomí aborda aspectos comunitarios, musicales y familiares en función de resarcir problemas de violencia y drogadicción en la localidad de Chitejé de Garabato, Querétaro de donde son oriundos. En primera instancia, su propuesta se basa en producir música y letras originales, y no covers de grupos de rock urbano y punk como suele suceder en el pueblo Si bien ninguno de los integrantes habla la lengua otomí, ellos toman una opción musical distinta con respecto a l gusto juvenil que incluye posicionamientos respecto al conocimiento de los abuelo s, e l uso de la lengua indígena, y el respeto y pertenencia a la tierra y la comunidad. A partir de una metodología etnográfica y partiendo de lineamientos de los e studios c ulturales, recupero marcas enunciativas como valores sociomusicales para dar cuenta de procesos identitarios. La categor ía música con mensaje permitirá evaluar fenómenos musicales que tratan la reivindicación cultural indígena.
De lenguas ancestrales y música urbana: hip-hop a través del kichwa. Los Nin, estudio de caso
Authors: Pérez-Valero Luis
Published: March 2024

Los Nin es una agrupación de hip-hop y música popular urbana formada en Otavalo, provincia de Imbabura, ubicada en la región sierra y norte del Ecuador. La principal característica de la agrupación es el uso de la lengua ancestral kichwa, dialecto derivado del quechua, que en el Ecuador es lengua oficial junto al español. Además, Los Nin han incorporado elementos de la música andina ecuatoriana, como instrumentos y escalas que le han permitido organizar un discurso musical que circula con facilidad en el país y que, en los últimos años, ha trascendido los aspectos locales para generar una escena translocal en donde se reconfiguran las nociones de identidad, territorio y ancestralidad. En el presente trabajo se analizan las prácticas musicales de esta agrupación, se vincula la teoría de las escenas musicales, la musicología para la producción musical, los Estudios Culturales y la etnografía. Algunos de los resultados han sido la configuración de un imaginario kichwa que trasciende fronteras a través de la migración ecuatoriana, y la reconfiguración de las nociones de interculturalidad, cultura de masas y música urbana en la región andina del Ecuador.
“El teatro es para todos, pero no para todo”: el arribo de La Barra al Teatro del Libertador General San Martín
Authors: Beaulieu Julián
Published: March 2024

El presente trabajo se propone reflexionar sobre el desembarco de uno de los géneros de música popular más convocantes del interior argentino, el cuarteto cordobés, representado por el grupo La Barra, en uno de los principales teatros de Argentina: el Teatro del Libertador San Martín. Se pretende dar cuenta, mediante una contextualización histórico-cultural y el análisis de diversas fuentes, de las implicancias que tuvo el entrecruzamiento de campos culturales que convivieron armónicamente mientras sus respectivos espacios se encontraban separados. En un sentido más general, se realiza una reflexión sobre la relación entre los mundos de la música popular, con los espacios culturales reservados históricamente a las artes escénicas clásicas de origen europeo, tomando como eje de análisis los argumentos que apuntalaron, y aquellos que se opusieron, al arribo del cuarteto a una de las instituciones culturales icónicas de la provincia de Córdoba hacia comienzos de la década del 2000.

Published: March 2024

A casi diez años de fundada la Asociación de Mujeres Rumberas de Matanzas (Cuba, 2013), Unos y Otros Ediciones publicó el libro Rumberas matanceras: Un canto a la memoria (2020). Escrito por Roxana M. Coz Téstar, este volumen es resultado de su investigación de grado para obtener el título de Licenciada en Música, Perfil Musicología, por la Universidad de las Artes ISA (Cuba, 2016). Además, para la realización del trabajo de campo contó con la Beca de Investigación María Teresa Linares otorgada por el Proyecto Timbalaye como grupo promotor de la cultura cubana en el ámbito internacional, y la Asociación Hermanos Saiz, organización que agrupa a la vanguardia artística y juventud intelectual del país.

El libro consta de dos apartados iniciales: “Palabras de la autora” e “Introducción”. En el primero de ellos, Roxana Coz describe su acercamiento personal al tema de estudio, las problemáticas socioculturales que identificó a priori en las prácticas musicales presenciadas, así como los motivos académicos de la raigambre matrifocal al interior de las familias rumberas de su Matanzas natal. Por su parte, en el segundo apartado profundiza en aquellas investigaciones previas que abordaron la rumba como objeto de estudio académico, al enfatizar las contribuciones de Raúl Martínez (1998) e Israel Moliner (s/a) para el caso particular de la rumba matancera. Además, emparenta su propio trabajo con textos medulares sobre las músicas cubanas de Leonardo Acosta (1989) y Helio Orovio (2007), así como señala la opacidad sobre el papel de las mujeres rumberas que existen en las investigaciones sobre dicho género musical.

La propuesta de este artículo será presentar la metodología de trabajo llevada adelante en el marco del proyecto ‘Historias Institucionales. Aportes para analizar experiencias institucionales desde la perspectiva de las/os trabajadoras/es’, analizando la utilidad de la misma como experiencia de conocimiento. Esta búsqueda de conocimiento tiene una doble intención, tanto la de generar en los equipos sociales una revisión de su propia historia a fin de jerarquizarla, así como también la de generar conocimiento desde la Universidad, acerca de las transformaciones institucionales de la etapa y sus situaciones singulares. Luego de presentar la propuesta, las referencias teóricas y antecedentes, presentamos una tipificación de hitos encontrados en la investigación nombrada. En las entrevistas realizadas en el proyecto pudimos ver que el hito permite identificar un momento que dispara reflexiones y caracterizaciones sobre ese momento, que posibilita, o canaliza ponderaciones positivas o negativas que se consolidan y empiezan a formar parte del análisis de los trabajadores. La propia reconstrucción de un hito es un momento que permite la recuperación de saberes acumulados y posibilita potenciar aprendizajes que han sido construidos anteriormente. Estos hitos son posibles por el acumulado de experiencia y capacitación anterior y se dan en momentos especiales.
INNOVACIÓN SOCIAL Y GOBERNANZA PARTICIPATIVA. LA EXPERIENCIA DE LA MESA CONTRA LA EXCLUSIÓN Y POR LOS DERECHOS SOCIALES DE TETUÁN EN MADRID (ESPAÑA)
Authors: Laosa Crespo Laura
Published: March 2024

Como consecuencia de la crisis financiera en el año 2008 y en consonancia con el agotamiento del modelo de gestión urbano de la ciudad de Madrid, se ha producido una fragmentación de las estructuras sociales y la emergencia de nuevas realidades de exclusión social. De este modo, se articulan nuevas lógicas de acción colectiva que surgen desde los nuevos activismos urbanos y que, posteriormente, harán irrupción en el escenario político formando parte de la institución a través de los proyectos municipalistas y tratando de trazar nuevas gramáticas de articulación entre los diferentes agentes comunitarios presentes en el territorio. Este artículo pretende analizar las prácticas de innovación social que apuntan a la lógica de la coproducción de políticas públicas a escala local y que dan lugar a nuevos modelos de gobernanza urbana participativa. De modo, que el trabajo de investigación se compone de tres partes: en la primera, se revisa la literatura sobre los conceptos de la innovación social y de la gobernanza participativa ; en la segunda parte se analiza y describe la metodología utilizada en el estudio de caso de la Mesa contra la Exclusión y por los Derechos Sociales de Tetuán en Madrid, que permitirá mostrar empíricamente la emergencia de nuevas prácticas de innovación social basadas en el principio de cooperación institucional y participación ciudadana directa; y por último, una tercera parte, que analiza los resultados de esta experiencia pionera.

Pluralism and Mysticism in the Thought of Paul K. Feyerabend
Authors: Coniglione Francesco
Published: March 2024

Feyerabend’s positions regarding methodological pluralism and the consequent critique of the monism of Method proposed by the Popperian school are well known. Less analyzed is the significance of his scientific pluralism and the idea that a multiplicity of cognitive approaches to reality is possible, especially in relation to its “abundance” — the many ways in which it presents itself, its complexity, and the fact that consequently it can be approached and interpreted from different points of view. This aspect has led Feyerabend’s reflections to emphasize what is typically relegated to the realm of the irrational, and has enabled him to discover the extent of the unspoken and implicit aspects of scientific knowledge, thereby emphasizing the mystical dimension of humanity’s relationship with the world, which usually escapes rational analysis.

Authors:   Ph.D. Research Scholar, Mass Communication, The Assam Royal Global University, Guwahati, Assam, India., Dey Anindita
Published: March 2024

Influencer marketing involves companies working with online influencers to promote their products. Other influencer marketing collaborations are less concrete; influencers have massive online and social media followings. Some people have hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of followers. It is still likely that many of them will appear to be ordinary people. They may have just a thousand followers, or even fewer in some cases. Nevertheless, they will have established their reputation as industry experts. Depending on their field of expertise, these are the ones who produce the most interesting social postings. They publish the most beautiful content and create the most exhilarating movies, and host the most interesting and informative online debates. The purpose of this thesis is to explore how popular Instagram influencers are, to study the efficiency of influencer marketing in promoting a certain product, and its future in the marketing sector. In addition, the study attempts to investigate customers' review behaviours, desired qualities of influencers, and the reasons behind their activities. We used an objective technique with qualitative and quantitative data to achieve the goal of this study. The information was acquired through a questionnaire and Interviews with the influencers. Influencer marketing is most effective when top influencers and story specialists are seen to be trustworthy. Furthermore, it was discovered that influencers have significant influences on consumer behaviour when it comes to information search and alternative recognition.

Livelihoods are diverse and made up of multiple activities depending on the available assets to earn a living. Aside from fishing as the only major source of income for coastal dwellers, are there other means of livelihood that a coastal area can offer? This document will help us understand the complexity of coastal livelihoods and an idea on the alternative livelihoods within the coastal area. Result will be used to document and measure the socio-economic benefits and costs of different livelihood, and will also set limits and policies that are really adaptable in protecting our coastal resources. Purposive sampling was done with the assistance of the Department of Agriculture-Municipal Agriculture and Fishery Council (DA-MAFC) who identified the respondents. Descriptive statistics, frequency counts, percentages and means were used to treat data collected. Results show that there exist some variations of livelihood along coastal areas like seaweed gathering, salt-making, stone and shell picking and crafting. There are also alternative source that would complement these traditional coastal means of livelihood like boat-making/boat for hire, making of fishing materials, fire woods gathering and homestay. It is necessary to employ interventions which help to strengthen capacity building in coastal communities. Trainings to improve their craft and packing should also be applied.

Authors:   Ph.D Scholar, Department of Social Work, Delhi University, New Delhi India., Nongmaithem Josephine
Published: March 2024

This study employs a qualitative research methodology to study the gender disparities in disaster responses, focusing on the case study of Majuli Island in Assam, India, to provide nuanced insights into the distinct vulnerabilities experienced by women, particularly in the context of floods. Through an in-depth exploration of social norms, behavioural restrictions, and resource allocation practices, the research elucidates how women’s roles as caregivers and providers constrain their mobility and exacerbate their susceptibility to harm. The gendered ramifications of disasters on health, encompassing reproductive health issues and malnutrition, are underscored, alongside the psychological and physiological impacts that precipitate enduring mental anguish and heightened risks of violence and abuse. The findings underscore the imperative for gender-sensitive approaches to disaster preparedness, response, and recovery, advocating for comprehensive strategies that foreground women’s safety, well-being, and empowerment. By adopting a qualitative research methodology grounded in descriptive investigation, the study delves deeply into the lived experiences of communities grappling with disaster risks, offering invaluable insights for policymakers, practitioners, and communities striving to foster inclusive and resilient societies.

Heart disease (HD) is considered the main cause of death rate around the world. Multiple systems and biomedical instruments in hospitals take large amounts of medical data. Thus, understanding the data linked with HD is vital to enhance the prediction performance. The timely intervention of HD is the most important factor in preventing patients from additional damage. In recent times, non-invasive medical procedures, including artificial intelligence-based approaches have been used in the healthcare sector. Particularly machine learning (ML) applies various techniques and algorithms that are extensively applied and are especially effective in accurately detecting HDs within short period. However, HD prediction is a challenging task. The largest size of medicinal database has made it a challenge for clinicians to understand the complicated feature relations and make disease predictions. Therefore, this study presents a Neutrosophic Fuzzy SAW with Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Heart Disease Recognition and Classification (NFSAW-AISHDC) technique in Healthcare Sector. The NFSAW-AISHDC technique mainly focuses on the adoption of neutrosophic fuzzy simple additive weighting (NFSAW) with feature selection process for HD detection. The NFSAW-AISHDC method exploits min-max scalar to scale the input medical data. For feature selection, the NFSAW-AISHDC method uses beluga whale optimization (BWO) algorithm to choose feature subsets. Moreover, the NFSAW-AISHDC technique applies NFSAW approach to the identification of HDs. The performance values of the NFSAW-AISHDC methodology undergoes using benchmark database. The experimental outcome underlined the promising results of the NFSAW-AISHDC method with other models.

Published: March 2024

Lung air cysts and bullae are airborne cavities larger than 1 cm in diameter, surrounded by a thin wall, localized within the lung tissue. The bullae are often located apically in the lung. They are usually asymptomatic unless they are very large in size and are detected on chest X-ray or lung tomography. In this article, we present an asymptomatic 79-year-old male patient who was randomly detected as having an air cyst in the anterior segment of the upper lobe of the left lung during the preparation for coronary bypass. We did not find similar cases in PUBMED literature review.

Aim: Aortic stenosis is a prevalent valvular disease characterized with outflow obstruction of left ventricle especially in patients with advanced ages. Definitive treatment of this disorder is valve replacement and done via different kinds of prosthetic valves. Herein we aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of the individuals underwent aortic valve replacement by using sutureless or conventional mechanical valve.
Material and Methods: Between 2020-2023, totally 102 patients underwent aortic valve replacement due to severe aortic stenosis were involved in the study. Patients were seperated into two groups according to the valve prothesis used in operations, sutureless valve group (n=50) and conventional mechanical valve group (n=52).
Results: The mean duration of cardiopulmonary bypass and side clamp and were significantly decreased in the sutureless valve group than conventional one (52.6±32.2 vs. 77.4±35.3 minutes and 86.4±18.5 vs. 121.8±13.45 minutes, p<.001). Duration of mechanical ventilation, intensive care unit (ICU) stay and hospitalization were also significantly lower in sutureless group.
Conclusion: Although patients operated by using sutureless valve are older, they have satisfactoried intra and postoperative outcomes. Therefore, aortic valve replacement operations can be performed reliably with sutureless valves in patients with advanced ages.
Outcomes of Dorsal Capsule-Based Vascularized Radius Grafting Without a Radius Styloidectomy For The Treatment of Stage 1 Scaphoid Non-union Advanced Collapse
Authors: Okkan Muhammet , Bulu Levent
Published: March 2024

Objectives:
We report the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients with stage 1 scaphoid non-union advanced collapse (SNAC) treated via placement of a dorsal capsule-based, vascularized, distal radius graft in the absence of radial styloidectomy.
Methods:
This retrospective study included 15 patients (13 men, 2 women). Radial styloidectomy was not performed in any patient. Radiological assessment was conducted using the scapholunate angle, as well as the original and revised carpal height ratios. The short version of the disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand (QDASH) score and the modified Mayo wrist score (MMWS) were used for functional assessment; Pain was rated using a visual analogue scale (VAS). At the last follow-up visit, range of motion, grip strength and key pinch strength were measured on both affected and unaffected sides.
Results:
The mean patient age was 32 (+/-10.4) years; the mean follow-up time was 23.2 (+/-6.8) months. All patients achieved complete bony union. No complications were observed. Although significant decreases in wrist flexion and extension were observed on the affected side, compared with the unaffected side, there were no significant differences in terms of radial or ulnar deviation. Both the MMWS and QDASH scores improved postoperatively, whereas the mean VAS pain score decreased. At the final follow-up, there was no decrease in mean carpal ratios, but the mean scapholunate angle had decreased.
Conclusion:
Dorsal capsule-based, vascularized, distal radius grafting without a radial styloidectomy is reproducible and reliable. The functional and radiological results are satisfactory for patients with stage 1 SNAC.

Authors: Singh Jagdeep , Chahar Pradeep , Singh Samir , Mishra Surendra , Meena Anshul , Kumar Ravi
Published: March 2024

Background: Exercise offers significant health benefits, promoting normal body system functioning, healthy growth, development, and overall well-being.

Aims and Objectives: Therefore, the objective of the present study was to determine the effect of short-term high-intensity exercise (HIE) on hematological biomarkers and acute responses in athletes, as well as changes in these biomarkers immediately after 10 and 20 min of HIE.

Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Physical Education, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi (UP). A total of 20 healthy male athletes with an age range of 22 to 26 years were randomly selected. All participants performed HIE for 5 min with maximal effort. Blood samples for selected hematological biomarkers were collected before exercise, immediately after exercise, and 10 and 20 min after the HIE.

Results: A repeated measures analysis of variance with a Greenhouse-Geisser correction revealed that red blood corpuscles (F = 58.447; P < 0.05.), white blood cells (F = 59.778; P < 0.05), platelets (F = 23.794; P < 0.05), and hemoglobin (F = 46.853; P < 0.05) responses differed statistically significantly between time points. Post hoc analysis with a Bonferroni adjustment revealed that their response was significantly increased immediately after the HIE, reduced 10 min after the exercise, and closely returned to baseline levels after 20 min of exercise.

Conclusion: HIE causes an inflammatory response in the blood by elevating the hematological biomarkers. These findings can be taken into consideration to develop high-intensity training programs for athletes.

Published: March 2024

Background: Young adults are prone to stress due to various life events. Managing these stressors can be difficult for them making them, cope with these through behavioral changes, the most common being unhealthy and irregular eating habits and a lack of physical activities.

Aims and Objectives: This study aims to find the correlation between body mass index (BMI) and perceived stress among young adults. Any gender differences are also evaluated.

Materials and Methods: Out of the 300 1st year medical students enrolled, height and weight for BMI and perceived stress scale-10 (PSS-10) scores were obtained for 228 participants as a one-time reading for every participant. Then, the relationship between these values of BMI and PSS was evaluated.

Results: Out of the analyzed participants, 46.1% were in the normal BMI category, with 15.8% being underweight. Out of the 38.1% of participants with an above-normal BMI, 2/3rd were found to be obese. Moderate stress was seen in 75% of participants. We found a weak negative correlation between BMI and stress (significant at 0.05).

Conclusion: The majority of the youth experience stress at moderate level, which is concerning for society as they indulge in stress eating to cope but end up being obese and more prone to metabolic diseases, thus entering a vicious cycle of obesity, disease, and stress. Hence, activities such as exercise, meditation, and others must be included in daily life to balance physical and mental health.

Pernikahan di usia dini telah menjadi isu kompleks yang memengaruhi berbagai aspek kehidupan, termasuk pola asuh anak. Artikel ini membahas dampak pola asuh orang tua yang menikah di usia dini terhadap perilaku anak. Penelitian ini menggali literatur terkini dan temuan penelitian empiris untuk memberikan pemahaman yang komprehensif tentang bagaimana keputusan menikah di usia dini dapat berpengaruh pada cara orang tua mendidik dan merawat anak-anak mereka. Hasil kajian menunjukkan Hukum pernikahan usia dini pada dasarnya mubah. Pernikahan di usia dini membawa dampak signifikan terhadap pola asuh anak, menciptakan tantangan bagi orang tua yang mungkin menghadapi kesulitan memberikan pola asuh yang optimal. Dampak tersebut tercermin dalam pola asuh yang kurang baik, pemanjakan anak yang berlebihan, keras kepala dan temperamen, manja dan cengeng. Kesadaran dan perubahan perilaku orang tua yang menikah di usia dini menjadi kunci untuk mengurangi dampak negatif ini. Meningkatkan kualitas pola asuh, memberikan batasan yang sehat, dan mempromosikan kemandirian anak dapat membantu menciptakan lingkungan keluarga yang lebih seimbang, mendukung pertumbuhan optimal anak-anak.

Infrastruktur memiliki posisi yang amat penting bagi keberlangsungan kegiatan penduduk suatu wilayah. Kegiatan penduduk dapat ditampung dalam ruang ruang sarana sosial dan ekonomi, tetapi tidak akan berjalan dengan baik tanpa didukung oleh pelayanan infrastruktur yang memadai. Pembangunan infrastruktur mutlak diperlukan untuk meningkatkan pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia yang mengusung prinsip pro-poor, pro-growth, dan pro-job. Namun, kondisi tiap wilayah berbeda sehingga tujuan tersebut selalu diiringi dengan ketimpangan hasil-hasil pembangunan. Sebagai contoh, kegiatan perekonomian penduduk suatu wilayah mungkin dapat ditampung pada ruang-ruang yang berupa sarana perekonomian, sepertikawasan, perdagangan, jasa, dan industry yang dimiliki oleh wilayah tersebut, tetapi tanpa dukungan penyediaan jaringan infrastruktur yang baik, sebagai contoh seperti pembangunan infrastruktur MCK dayah Ma’had Ulum Diniyah Islamiyah
The expanded toolbox of treatment options for colorectal liver metastases: Embracing a multidisciplinary approach
Authors:   , Dijkstra Madelon
Published: March 2024

As the incidence of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) is currently rising, there is an increasing need for multidisciplinary approach to treat these metastases. The key objective of this thesis is to describe the current local treatment modalities and assess their technical effectiveness, as well as their impact on disease and survival outcomes in patients with CRLM. Furthermore, this research aims to evaluate and compare various emerging technique advancements. An underlying emphasis of this thesis lies in advocating for the embracement of a multidisciplinary approach that engages surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, and other healthcare experts in the treatment of CRLM to optimize patient outcomes. Prognostic factors play an important role in the choice of treatment for colorectal liver metastases. In Part I the primary tumor origin and molecular profile are taken into account. Part II of this thesis reveals the substantive technical advancements that have influenced the present-day position of thermal ablation in the treatment of CRLM. Part III discusses the comparison of several treatment modalities for CRLM, including thermal ablation, irreversible electroporation, surgery and radiotherapy. The goal is to gain a comprehensive understanding of their respective strengths, limitations, impact on survival outcomes, and current roles in clinical practice. Thermal ablation has emerged as a prominent player in the management of CRLM. While the mentioned local treatment options have demonstrated effectiveness, a significant challenge persists: recurrence occurs in 64% to 85% of all locally treated patients, often within the first year. Part IV addresses treatment options for recurrent CRLM. Surprisingly, there is no universally accepted consensus in national or international guidelines on the best approach to manage recurrent CRLM. In conclusion, this thesis highlights the current toolbox of treatment options for CRLM, technical progress made for thermal ablation, discusses factors affecting treatment decisions and addresses therapeutic strategies for recurrent CRLM. Ongoing research like the COLLISION trial series (including XL and RELAPSE trial) aims to provide clarity in this evolving landscape.
