¿Qué es la filosofía?
Authors: Paláu Castaño Luis Alfonso
Published: December 2021

(Traducción del francés al español de Luis Alfonso Paláu-Castaño)

«La primera cuestión que plantea la filosofía, que está en el origen como movimiento del pensamiento y de la individuación de todo lo que se reivindicará de la racionalidad, esa primera cuestión (que quizás no sea la cuestión primera de la filosofía) no es el ser. Tampoco es el devenir ni la técnica —ni siquiera bajo la forma de esa mnemotécnica que es la hipomnesis—. No es la ley ni el poder, ni tampoco la poesía. Esta primera cuestión, que no es por ello la cuestión primera(y que ha estado la mayor parte del tiempo secundarizada), es la enseñanza.»
Por una geopolítica de las lenguas romances
Authors: Montaño Oliveros Jessica
Published: December 2021

(Traducción del francés al español de Jessica Montaño Oliveros)

Este artículo de reflexión nos propone un breve recorrido histórico de la política contemporánea de las lenguas romances y su relación con los demás grupos lingüísticos (xfonías). A través de una analogía con la teoría de juegos, establecida alrededor de los diferentes organismos e instituciones propias de cada región, se evidencia la influencia de los intereses de la globalización a nivel cultural y, sobre todo, económico; el discurso de lo políticamente correcto limita las iniciativas para una intercomprensión entre la hispanofonía, la francofonía y la lusofonía. Sin embargo, existe una solución viable desde el punto de vista educativo con el fin de mejorar el futuro de la geopolítica lingüística romance.
La emergencia de enfermedades infecciosas
Authors: Zapata Cano Rodrigo
Published: December 2021

(Traducción de del francés al español de Rodrigo Zapata Cano)

«En este corto artículo de epidemiología encontramos el acta de nacimiento de una grave pandemia, pero también el punto de partida de una de las más grandes aventuras científicas y médicas del siglo XX. La aparición de la nueva epidemia de sida, enfermedad metafórica de la época “posmoderna” (Sontag, 1990), ha golpeado la sensibilidad de nuestra época y ha asustado tanto al mundo científico como a la opinión pública. La aparición de esta pandemia ha mostrado cruelmente que las enfermedades infecciosas todavía podían ser causas importantes de morbilidad y mortalidad.»
Reseña del libro The Moral Psychology of Hope de Claudia Blöser y Titus Stahl (2019)
Authors: Dávila Morán Roberto Carlos
Published: December 2021

«Claudia Blöser y Titus Stahl han reunido un volumen amplio sobre la naturaleza, la historia y el significado social de la esperanza. El volumen no escatima en historia; seis de sus quince capítulos se centran en la historia filosófica de la esperanza, y otros incluyen una discusión extensa de figuras históricas y tradiciones. El volumen también hace contribuciones a nuestra comprensión de la naturaleza de la esperanza, considerada tanto como una actitud como un rasgo (quizás una virtud) del carácter. El volumen se cierra con una sección sobre los contextos sociales de la esperanza, donde se presta atención a temas como el papel de la esperanza en la justificación política y la racionalidad de esperar una prosperidad humana generalizada ante un posible colapso ambiental. Es un volumen rico. Tendré ocasión a continuación para tocar cada uno de sus capítulos.»
Cuando una “esquina” es más que una simple esquina
Authors: Bonilla Muñoz Marco Antonio , Grinberg Silvia
Published: December 2021

Las esquinas pobladas por jóvenes de barrios atravesados por la pobreza urbana y la desigualdad social suelen despertar sospechas y quedar asociadas al mundo de los ilegalismos. Ahora bien, el presente trabajo problematiza esta imagen a través resultados de investigación. A lo largo de un año de trabajo en terreno nos encontramos con jóvenes para quienes una parte importante de su socialización ocurre en la esquina. Estos jóvenes constituyen entre la cuarta o quinta generación de familias que han transcurrido sus vidas en un barrio de la región metropolitana de Buenos Aires (RMBA). Para estos, la esquina asume gran importancia debido a que, a excepción de la escuela, no hay otras instituciones públicas donde pasar el tiempo. Si bien los ilegalismos convergen allí, la esquina se vuelve aquel lugar donde encontrar lugar, donde estar y donde hacer cuando no hay nada para hacer.
Aproximación a un modelo de gestión turística sostenible. Caso Urabá
Authors: Roldán Echeverri Arnubio de Jesús , Arroyave Torres María Eugenia , Bermúdez Cardona Adriana Milena
Published: December 2021

El turismo en Colombia ha sido uno de los renglones económicos de mayor ascenso, situación que se evidencia tanto en destinos consol idados como en los emergentes. Dentro de estos últimos se encuentran aquellas regiones que teniendo un alto potencial turístico han sido afectadas directa o indirectamente por el conflicto, como es el caso de la región de Urabá. A pesar de esta situación, el sector del turismo en esta región ha hecho esfuerzos para mantenerse acompañado de programas, proyectos, planes y políticas direccionados desde lo público. Si bien estas medidas aportan al turismo, van ligadas a otros sectores de la economía de impacto nacional e internacional por la ubicación geoestratégica de esta región. Este trabajo hace una caracterización y un análisis de las intervenciones que desde lo público se han hecho para apoyar las actividades turísticas, entre las que se encuentra la participación de Urabá en el Programa de Turismo Paz y Convivencia. Quienes proponen un modelo de gestión turística sostenible que integre la cadena de valor con las fuerzas vivas teniendo en cuenta la gestión desde lo público y la perspectiva de los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible y otros modelos de gestión turística del ámbito internacional, de tal manera que, se contribuya al desarrollo económico y social de una manera más competitiva e incluyente.
Element of Politeness in Intercultural Communication: The Case Study of Japanese and Malaysian Tourists
Authors: Mamat Roslina , Abdul Rashid Roswati , Paee Rokiah
Published: December 2021

The number of Japanese tourists visiting Malaysia has consistently ranked in the top ten over the last 20 years. Japan has been the country of choice for Malaysian tourists over the previous ten years. It is, therefore, crucial that tourism communication in the cross-cultural context between Malaysia and Japan is used as a reference to improve the cross-cultural communication skills of the tourism employees involved. This article discusses the external structure of Japanese conversation between native Japanese speakers and Malaysian tourist guides and native Malay speakers with Japanese tourist guides. This study is qualitative and uses the discourse analysis approach. A total of four conversation sessions in the form of Free Independent Travel (FIT) tourism were held in Malacca and Tokyo. The conversations were recorded, and the researchers also made notes throughout the conversation to see the sentence structures and non-linguistic elements to complete the data. The recording was then transcribed and encoded before being analysed. Only the conversations by tourist guides were analysed and included in the contents of this article as the focus of the study is more on the external form and politeness of the Japanese language used by Malaysian and Japanese tourist guides in demonstrating solidarity and similarities in the context of cross-cultural conversation. Data analysis shows many similarities in the selection of vocabulary and specific verb forms by Japanese and Malaysian tourist guides to show courtesy and friendliness in the conversation. This proves that Japanese language skills by Malaysian tourist guides are almost on par with Japanese tourist guides. Malaysian tourist guides also have a vast knowledge of the culture and nature of the Japanese language.
O tempo agora é moeda: de Balzac a Graciliano Ramos
Authors: Mota Leilane Luiza Ferreira , Maciel Emílio
Published: December 2021

A frase “tempo é dinheiro” torna-se muito comum a partir do século XVIII com a Revolução Industrial. Os donos de fábricas passaram a controlar o tempo e a propagar a ideia de que seu uso deveria ser feito com a máxima eficiência para evitar desperdícios. No século XIX, com o surgimento da classe burguesa, o controle e a disciplina do tempo tornam-se valores fundamentais. Junta-se à nova percepção temporal uma forma mais democrática e horizontal no tratamento das pessoas inaugurada pela Revolução Francesa. A partir desse momento, a fixidez de papéis sociais se dilui e o povo passa de objeto a sujeito da história. Consequentemente, surge uma nova concepção de identidade, que se torna mais fragmentada, e, ao mesmo tempo, mais subordinada às ações do sujeito do que à vida social. Todos esses temas perpassam a obra de Balzac. Pretende-se demonstrar, neste artigo, que São Bernardo, de Graciliano Ramos, seria um modelo reduzido que comprimiria tanto o romance do século XIX quanto o romance do século XX, por retomar daquele certos temas principais, como o self-made man e os impasses da mobilidade social, e deste a tensão do efeito corrosivo do tempo.

Time-domain numerical modeling of wave propagation in poroelastic media with rational approximation of the fractional attenuation
Authors: Xie Jiangming , Li Maojun , Ou Miao-Jung
Published: December 2021

n this work, we investigate the poroelastic waves by solving the
time-domain Biot-JKD equation with an efficient numerical method. The
viscous dissipation occurring in the pores depends on the square root of
the frequency and is described by the Johnson-Koplik-Dashen (JKD)
dynamic tortuosity/permeability model. The temporal convolutions of
order 1/2 shifted fractional derivatives are involved in the time-domain
Biot-JKD model, causing the problem to be stiff and challenging to be
implemented numerically. Based on the best relative approximation of the
square-root function, we design an efficient algorithm to approximate
and localize the convolution kernel by introducing a finite number of
auxiliary variables that satisfy a local system of ordinary differential
equations. The imperfect hydraulic contact condition is used to describe
the interface boundary conditions and the Runge-Kutta discontinuous
Galerkin (RKDG) method together with the splitting method is applied to
compute the numerical solutions. Several numerical examples are
presented to show the accuracy and efficiency of our approach.
Magnetic Signature of the Saco do Mamanguá and Paraty-Mirim Cove, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Authors: Melo Janaina Anjos , Marangoni Yara Regina
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT. In this work, we investigate the N40°-50°E-oriented magnetic lineaments observed in the marine and aeromagnetic data from the Paraty-Mirim and Saco do Mamanguá (RJ) coves. The main characteristic of these lineaments is the presence of normal and reverse magnetic polarity, indicating that the bodies responsible for the anomalies may be of different ages or have suffered remagnetization effects by metamorphism or have distinct lithologies. The interpretative model of the anomalies was obtained by the 3D Magnetization Vector Inversion (MVI) and by the study of the geology and tectonics of the area. Our results suggest, as a more likely hypothesis, that the magnetic lineaments can be correlated with two tholeiitic dykes swarms, Resende-Ilha Grande and Serra do Mar, which have intruded the region at different times. The age formation of those swarms can be placed at time intervals where the Earth's magnetic field has normal and reverse polarities. The contrasts of magnetic susceptibility obtained from the models are consistent with contrasts of the lithology of basic dykes intruded in the gneissic-granitic basement of the region. Keywords: magnetization vector inversion, magnetic properties, magnetic lineaments, remanent magnetization, tholeiitic dykes swarms Assinatura Magnética do Saco do Mamanguá e da Enseada de Paraty-Mirim, Rio de Janeiro, BrasilRESUMO. Neste trabalho, investigamos os lineamentos magnéticos orientados a N40°-50°E observados nos dados marinhos e aeromagnéticos das enseadas de Paraty-Mirim e do Saco do Mamanguá (RJ). A principal característica destes lineamentos é a presença de polaridade magnética normal e reversa, indicando que os corpos responsáveis pelas anomalias podem ter idades diferentes ou terem sofrido efeitos de remagnetização por metamorfismo ou apresentarem litologias distintas. O modelo interpretativo das anomalias foi obtido pela Inversão do Vetor de Magnetização (IVM) 3D e pelo estudo da geologia e tectônica da área. Nossos resultados sugerem, como hipótese mais provável, que os lineamentos magnéticos podem ser correlacionados com dois enxames de diques toleíticos, Resende-Ilha Grande e Serra do Mar, que têm idades diferentes de intrusão. As idades de formação desses enxames podem ser colocadas em intervalos de tempo em que o campo magnético da Terra apresentou polaridades normal e reversa. Os contrastes de susceptibilidade magnética obtidos no modelo são coerentes com os contrastes de litologia de diques básicos intrudidos no embasamento granítico-gnáissico da região.Palavras-chave: inversão do vetor de magnetização, propriedades magnéticas, lineamentos magnéticos, magnetização remanente, enxames de diques toleíticos

Mieszkańcy Rzeczypospolitej w podróży — ludzie a rzeczy w XVI–XVIII wieku
Authors: Augustyniak Urszula
Published: December 2021

W artykule podjęto próbę identyfikacji rzeczy niezbędnych dla stworzenia tzw. bańki środowiskowej — przestrzeni chroniącej podróżującą szlachtę Rzeczypospolitej przed dyskomfortem wynikającym z konfrontacji z obcą rzeczywistością. Starano się również określić, co mówią „przedmioty podróżne” o swych właścicielach z punktu widzenia historyka kultury, w porównaniu do ustaleń z zakresu socjologii przedmiotów i antropologicznej koncepcji „świata rzeczy”. Zagadnienia zostały omówione na wybranych przykładach podróży edukacyjnych magnatów, dworzanina i studentów w XVI–XVIII w. Podstawą były diariusze z takich wyjazdów, instrukcje rodzicielskie, korespondencja oraz źródła niewykorzystywane dotąd w badaniach historii takich wypraw: testamenty, inwentarze pośmiertne i inwentarze mobiliów zgromadzone w skarbcach magnackich.

Dokument powstał w 1637 r. w celu zabezpieczenia praw spadkowych jego potomków. Rejestr otwiera skromna lista odzieży, dalej wymieniono kosztowności i nakrycia głowy należące do zmarłego, na końcu zaś informacje o cennych lichtarzach, srebrnych łyżkach oraz przedmiotach wykonanych z mosiądzu. Zaskakujący jest brak w spisie danych o innych elementach majątku: nieruchomościach, zasobach gotówki lub zobowiązaniach finansowych, które pozostawił po sobie urzędnik. Na tle innych mieszczańskich inwentarzy z małopolskich miast i miasteczek z tego czasu rejestr Brzeskiego wyróżnia się ze względu na wykaz broni oraz obszerną listę książek, które były w jego posiadaniu.
Increasing the productivity of water in takein water-containing crystalline rocks by increasing their fracture by an explosion
Authors: Shestopalov V. M. , Petrenko L. I. , Romanyuk I. M.
Published: December 2021

Global warming, which has been observed in the world and Ukraine in particular in recent decades, may lead to a decrease in surface and groundwater. In addition, the high level of groundwater pollution and the policy of water purification is a matter of concern. Thus, the question of finding additional and alternative sources of drinking water today is highly urgent. A significant percentage of prospecting works of the last century was devoted to discovering the groundwater fields in fractured crystalline rocks of the Ukrainian Shield. As a rule, the productivity of wells of these formations did not have high flow rates, so even now, mostly the aquifers in sedimentary deposits have been exploited.
The low productivity of most wells in water-bearing fractured rocks is associated with the unknown degree of fracturing of the crystalline massif: it is difficult to determine the pathways of groundwater inflow into the fracture system and, accordingly, it is not easy to justify the exploitable groundwater reserves. In this paper, using the groundwater flow model of the Zhashkiv groundwater deposit, it is considered an increase of the productivity of water intake wells in the water-bearing crystalline rocks due to the increasing degree of their fracturing by an explosion. Thus, in hydrogeology, this technique is known when trying to increase the permeability in the near-borehole space, but as a method of artificial recharge of aquiferous crystalline rocks is used very rarely. The paper also examines typical water intakes conditions in fractured crystalline water-bearing rocks, which can be recommended for increasing their productivity by the blasting method. The results indicate that an artificial increase in fracturing degree can have a significant effect on increasing the productivity of water intakes. The basic methods of using explosives, as an example of an artificial increase in fracturing degree, in solving hydrogeological problems and the mechanisms of fractures’ formation during the action of blasting are considered.
Computer technology for interpreting vector measurements of the magnetic field
Authors: Mikheevа T. L. , Lapinа O. P.
Published: December 2021

Computer technology is presented to solve the inverse problem of magnetic field vector measurements using software and algorithmic support for an automated system to interpret potential fields. The technology includes constructing a numerical model of the magnetic field of the studied area, forming an initial approximation model, assessing the depth of the sources and their magnetization. An approximation structure is used to describe the sources of anomalies (a set of uniformly magnetized polygonal prisms). To solve the problem, we used real vector measurements of the magnetic field by the components Xа, Ya, Zа, Та in the sections of Gruzsko South and Gruzsko Severnaya. Geologically, the area belongs to the central part of the Ukrainian Shield — the Kirovograd tectonic megablock. The area of work is confined to the Subotsko-Moshorin latitudinal fault zone. The possibility of comparing the results of the interpretation of anomalies on each profile by the components of the anomalous magnetic field increases the reliability of the geological interpretation of magnetic prospecting data compared to the interpretation of modular surveys. The presence of vector measurements greatly facilitates the ability to determine the parameters of anomalous objects, which makes it possible to obtain more reliable solutions to the inverse problem. The use of vector information makes it possible to localize geological sources more successfully, thereby reducing the amount of work.

Оn the problems of understanding the category «sanction» in the theory of law and branch jurisprudence
Authors: Mikhailina T.V. , Gotsulyak Yu. , Gel А.
Published: December 2021

The scientific article is devoted to the analysis and rethinking of the category «sanction» in the theory of law and branch jurisprudence.As a result of the conducted research, the general theoretical definition of the category «sanction» as part of a legal norm that provides for negative consequences of non-compliance or improper implementation of the rule enshrined in the disposition of the rule of law, is supported.It is noted that, despite the existence of certain terminological differences, in general, the sciences of criminal law and the theory of law are moving in the same direction regarding the definition of sanctions and their classification, which cannot be said about other branches of law. In the science of civil law, modern definitions take us not only beyond the legal norm, but also beyond the law as a whole, focusing on the ability of sanctions to be contained in the contract between the parties, and therefore associating the sanction not with part of the legal norm, but with legal responsibility as such. And sanctions in economic law fully relate to the type and degree of responsibility.It is concluded that theoretical approaches to the definition of sanctions in administrative law can be clearly divided into two groups, the first of which «fits» into the general understanding of sanctions. When referring to the latest doctrinal sources (the second group), there is a significant variability in them and attempts to move away from the established definition. Moreover, the understanding of the sanction goes far beyond both the legal norm and legal liability, extending it, among other things, to preventive measures.Thus, it is necessary to distinguish the category of «sanction» as specifically restrictive measures, as measures of legal liability and as a structural element of a legal norm. Moreover, if the term «sanction» may well be applied to restrictive measures, which is due to the etymology of this concept, then the identification of sanctions as an element of a legal norm and measures of legal liability should be completely excluded. The use of such categories as synonymous at both the doctrinal and practical levels leads to legal uncertainty and confusion of concepts.
PERSPECTIVAS ECOCRÍTICAS Y TENSIONES NARRATIVAS EN “EL PADRE DE BLANCANIEVES” DE BELÉN GOPEGUI
Authors: BOBĂILĂ Iulia
Published: December 2021

Ecocritical Perspectives and Narrative Tensions in Belén Gopegui’s Snow White’s Father. The relationship between literature and ecology has come to the fore in the last few decades and has encompassed several dimensions approached within the evolving framework of ecocriticism. In this context, our purpose is twofold: to explore the possibilities of an ecocritical reading of Belén Gopegui’s novel Snow White’s Father and to highlight the way in which the characters’ uncomfortable questions, the fully-articulated answers and those still latent make up an intricate network of narrative tensions. At the core of the novel lies an all-pervading need of self-questioning and collective reassessment of values, interactions and ethical limits. Its characters are marked by doubt and hesitations regarding the reasons that make them strive for a change or defend the status quo they are fond of. Gopegui is able to perform a delicately-balanced walk on a tightrope between stern anti-capitalist principles and complex human motivations.
REZUMAT. Perspective ecocritice şi tensiuni narative în romanul El padre de Blancanieves de Belén Gopegui. Relaţia dintre literatură şi ecologie este studiată atent de câteva decenii, pe diverse paliere, abordate de paradigma încă fluctuantă a ecocriticii. În acest context, scopul nostru este să explorăm potenţialul unei lecturi ecocritice a romanului El padre de Blancanieves de Belén Gopegui şi să punem în evidenţă modul în care întrebările incomode ale personajelor, răspunsurile complet articulate și cele încă latente alcătuiesc o rețea complexă de tensiuni narative. În centrul romanului se află nevoia stringentă de autointerogare individuală și de reevaluare colectivă a valorilor, interacțiunilor și limitelor etice. Personajele sunt traversate de îndoieli și ezitări cu privire la motivele care le determină să lupte pentru schimbare sau să apere acel status quo de care s-au ataşat. Gopegui reuşeşte astfel să atingă un echilibru fragil pe linia de demarcaţie dintre exprimarea clară a unor poziții ideologice anti-capitaliste și motivații umane complexe.

“ESSA DAMA BATE BUÉ” E O CÂNONE LITERÁRIO ANGOLANO
Authors: VASILE Iolanda
Published: December 2021

Essa Dama Bate Bué and the Angolan Literary Canon. A relevant topic for the history of literature, the literary canon has been widely questioned and the Angolan literary canon is no exception, being constantly susceptible to changes. The current paper aims at challenging the Angolan literary canon and defending the necessity of including the novel Essa Dama Bate Bué by Yara Monteiro. Published in 2018, it represents an example of silenced literature about women and guerrilla movements during the war for national independence, the subsequent civil war, and the post-conflict period. The book problematizes the presence of women in national wars, the countless roles they played, but also their integration in the post-colonial society, giving insights into a topic largely ignored in Angolan literature.
REZUMAT. “Essa Dama Bate Bué” și canonul literar angolez. O temă de mare relevanță în istoria literaturii, canonul literar a fost amplu chestionat. La rândul său, canonul literar angolez nu face excepție și este, așa cum e firesc, supus unor schimbări. Articolul de față vine să provoace acest canon angolez și să argumenteze în favoarea includerii  operei “Essa Dama Bate Bué”, de Yara Monteiro. Publicat în 2018, romanul reprezintă o literatură redusă la tăcere, despre femei și mișcări de gherilă în timpul războiului pentru independență națională, războiului civil care i-a urmat și în post-conflict. Cartea problematizează prezența femeilor în războaiele naționale, din perspectiva diferitelor roluri pe care le-au avut, precum și integrarea acestora în societatea post-colonială, dând vizibilitate unei tematici ignorate in literatura angoleză.

Bruno Alonso González: Comisario General de la Base naval de Cartagena (1937-1938). Una aproximación al factor humano de la Guerra Civil
Authors: Egea Bruno Pedro Mª
Published: December 2021

La trascendencia de la Base naval de Cartagena durante la Guerra Civil explicará los intentos de control por las fuerzas políticas en presencia. El nombramiento de Bruno Alonso como Comisario de la Base será el desencadenante de una serie de procesos: Terminará de agudizar el desencuentro entre las corrientes socialistas; desencadenará una lucha frontal contra el PCE y los anarquistas y pondrá de relieve la significación de los mandos. La correspondencia cruzada entre Bruno Alonso e Indalecio Prieto nos ofrece la posibilidad de profundizar en estas cuestiones, dejando al descubierto la calidad humana de sus protagonistas.
Una publicación periódica industrial del Sindicato Vertical franquista: la primera época de la revista Textil (1944-1948)
Authors: Martín García Juan José
Published: December 2021

La revista mensual Textil, órgano oficial del Sindicato Nacional Textil, supone una fuente inédita y potencialmente estimable para ilustrar los condicionamientos económicos y políticos que rodearon a la industria textil española durante la larga noche autárquica, desde 1944 hasta 1960. Del análisis hemerográfico de la “primera época” (1944-1948) de este instrumento aparentemente inocente, se desprende que su origen responde a la pretensión del régimen de coadyuvar a la consolidación del “Nuevo Estado” mediante el férreo control mediático y la propagación de consignas que englobasen todos los sectores económicos y sociales del país en aras de un ilusorio “Imperio”.
Bronze Age Funerary and Later Prehistoric Activity at Badminston Farm, Fawley, Hampshire
Authors: Molloy Tony , Bishop Barry , Hayward Kevin , Seager-Thomas Mike , Thompson Guy , Ponce Paola , Alott Lucy , Vitolo Mariangela , Copeland Penny
Published: December 2021

Archaeological excavations were undertaken by Southern Archaeological Services Ltd. between 1999 and 2010 at Badminston Farm, Fawley, on the eastern edge of the New Forest, adjacent to Southampton Water. The excavations identified evidence of near- continuous human activity from the
early prehistoric period to the present day. Mesolithic activity was followed by Early Bronze Age pits, containing 'placed' flint assemblages. Evidence of Bronze Age funerary activity included deflated barrows/ring ditches, and associated cremations. Late Bronze Age ceramics were absent but
a hoard of 68 Armorican-type socketed axes may have been a votive offering marking the 'ancestral' barrow which would have been visible here. Other Bronze Age evidence included two burnt mounds and an ill-defined structure possibly associated with weaving. Iron Age activity was represented
by a number of pits containing domestic pottery, while Late Iron Age and Romano-British ditches may have formed part of an enclosure. A significant assemblage of non-local worked stone attests to long distance exchange, and the possibility of a nearby farmstead. Medieval activity was represented
by pits, ditches and stakeholes, with some evidence of an enclosure or structure associated with grain drying. Later land divisions and a WWII radio communication station dominated more recent use of the site.
Geometrías perdurables. El caso de las placas grabadas líticas del golfo San Matías (provincia de Río Negro) y su contextualización en la Patagonia argentina
Authors: Fiore Danae , Acevedo Agustín , Favier Dubois Cristian
Published: December 2021

Este trabajo analiza un conjunto de placas grabadas procedentes del Golfo San Matías (provincia de Río Negro) con el objeto de evaluar recurrencias de diseño que indiquen la presencia de reglas de ornamentación y/o codificación de información visual entre las poblaciones cazadoras-recolectoras que las produjeron y utilizaron. Posteriormente, se desarrollan comparaciones sistemáticas con 170 placas procedentes de Patagonia y otras regiones de Argentina, utilizando como indicador principal la presencia de tipos de motivos compartidos. Los datos se evalúan a la luz de un modelo teórico con expectativas que vinculan variabilidad/estandarización de diseños, laxitud/estructuración ornamental y heterogeneidad/redundancia informativa. Los resultados demuestran que las placas mantienen una baja estandarización de los diseños, compatible con una función comunicativa de baja redundancia (con contenidos heterogéneos) y/o con una función ornamental con reglas laxas. Los repertorios compartidos documentan, además, numerosos vínculos interregionales, que son corroborados mediante otras líneas de evidencia arqueológica.

Published: December 2021

Se analiza el patrón de la distribución natural de huesos actuales en los distintos sectores de la franja costera de bahía Moat. Con este fin se busca evaluar los espacios donde existen mayores posibilidades de acumulación y dispersión de restos óseos y de generar expectativas sobre la integridad de los sitios arqueológicos. Asimismo, se evalúan las modificaciones naturales que se producen en la superficie cortical de los huesos tafonómicos. Los resultados muestran que la dinámica del intermareal actúa de manera disímil en la formación de los conjuntos óseos y que dichos procesos impactan en diferentes grados según la ubicación y la geoforma costera. Además, se identificaron distintas trayectorias tafonómicas para las aves y los mamíferos. Los resultados permiten predecir el grado de integridad de los sitios ubicados en los contextos ambientales aquí estudiados y constituyen herramientas valiosas para tomar decisiones en el marco de proyectos arqueológicos regionales.

Published: December 2021

El trabajo aborda comparativamente el surgimiento de tres santuarios católicos latinoamericanos: el de la Virgen de Copacabana y el del Señor de los Milagros de Lima, ambos de origen colonial (Virreinato peruano), y el de la Virgen del Rosario de San Nicolás (Argentina), originado en las últimas décadas del siglo XX. Desde una perspectiva antropológica, combinando trabajo de archivo con enfoque etnográfico, se analizan las principales acciones y motivaciones que contribuyeron a consolidar cada uno de los santuarios. ¿Quiénes fueron los productores –materiales y simbólicos‒ de estas imágenes católicas y en qué circunstancias actuaron? ¿De qué manera surgieron las devociones en torno a ellas? ¿Cuál fue el papel de los sucesos milagrosos en la afirmación de los cultos? Me propongo examinar la posibilidad de reconocer regularidades y lógicas comunes en estos procesos, analizando hasta qué punto remiten a factores contextuales o a dinámicas propias de la construcción de santuarios católicos.

Authors: İSKENDEROĞLU Ömer , KARADENİZ Erdinç
Published: December 2021

This study tried to determine firm-specific variables that affect the price-to-earnings ratios of the listed tourism companies at Borsa Istanbul in Turkey over the period 2012q3 - 2020q3. For this purpose, the quarterly financial data of tourism companies were analyzed by using the Generalized Moments Method (GMM). As a result of the analysis, it was determined that a positive relationship existed between Tobin’s Q ratio and price-to-earnings ratio, whereas a negative relationship existed between leverage ratio as well as stock price volatility and price-to-earnings ratio. It was determined that no statistically significant relationship existed between sales size and price-to-earnings ratio.

PECAM1 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and is expressed in monocytes, neutrophils, macrophages and other types of immune cells as well as in endothelial cells. PECAM1 function is crucial for the development and maturation of B lymphocytes. The aim of this study was to link rare PECAM1 variants found in lymphedema patients with the development of lymphatic system malformations. Using NGS, we previously tested 246 Italian lymphedema patients for variants in 29 lymphedema-associated genes and obtained 235 negative results. We then tested these patients for variants in the PECAM1 gene. We found three probands with rare variants in PECAM1. All variants were heterozygous missense variants. In Family 1, the unaffected mother and brother of the proband were found to carry the same variant as the proband. Lymphoscintigraphy was performed to determine possible lymphatic malformations and showed that in both cases a bilateral slight reduction in the speed and lymphatic clearance of the lower limbs. PECAM1 function is important for lymphatic vasculature formation. We found variants in PECAM1 that may be associated with susceptibility to lymphedema.

Treatment of patients with lymphedema focuses on reducing limb volume with more recent recognition of the importance of quality-of-life issues. Perhaps due to the incidence of filariasis-related lymphedema compared to breast cancer-related lymphedema in the western world, the Institute of Applied Dermatology (IAD) in Kerala, India has developed a low-cost and culturally acceptable treatment with quality-of-life focus that works well in that area. Worldwide, there is also recognition of chronic edema as a potential co-morbidity and the recent advances in genetic analysis continue to shed light on lymphedema development that may be important in filariasis-related lymphedema. Although improvement in treatment outcomes by surgical means has been shown, there is often conventional treatment mixed in the therapy and no randomized controls of any therapy exist. In addition, these techniques require supermicrosurgical skill not available in many areas of the world. The WHO has documented the need in filariasis for both universal health care and innovative care for chronic conditions. The IAD has addressed these issues with its integrative model of treatment with patient quality-of-life at the forefront to incorporate traditional practice to involve the patient more fully in family and community support for an additional therapeutic tool.

Lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) has been described as an effective treatment for early stages of lymphedema (LE). The aim of this study was to deepen the evaluation of the effectiveness of LVA by performing a meta-analysis to provide information about its utility in specific anatomical sites, clinical stages, duration of lymphedema, and surgical technique. A systematic literature search using PubMed/Medline, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Database was performed in November 2019. Only original studies in which exclusively LVA was performed for primary and/or secondary lymphedema in humans were eligible for data extraction. A meta-analysis was performed on articles with a well-defined endpoint and a subgroup analysis was conducted in relation to surgical technique, duration of lymphedema, stage of pathology. Forty-eight studies, including 6 clinical trials and 42 low-risk bias observational studies were included in our meta-analysis. 1,281 subjects were included and the majority of articles reported a pre-post analysis. Lymphaticovenular anastomosis appears to result effectively in treatment of lymphedema with an odds ratio of 0.07 (CI: 0.04, 0.13, p<0.001). All subgroup meta-analyses were statistically significant for LVAs specifically with regard to anatomical site, clinical stage, duration of LE, or type of microsurgical procedure (p<0.05).
Our meta-analysis confirmed the efficacy of LVAs for the treatment of lymphedema, even when subgroup analysis was performed for clinical stage, duration of pathology, anatomical site of lymphedema, or type of microsurgical procedure. Further prospective trials with a common clearly defined outcome measure are warranted for an unbiased evaluation.

Connexin proteins form gap junctions controlling exchange of ions and small molecules between cells and play an important role in movement of lymph within lymphatic vessels. Connexin47 (CX47) is highly expressed in lymphatic endothelial cells and CX47 missense mutations, i.e., R260C, cosegregate with primary lymphedema in humans. However, studies utilizing CX47 knockout mice have failed to demonstrate any lymphatic anomalies. To unravel the lymphatic consequences of expressing a mutant CX47 protein, we used CRISPR technology to create a mouse carrying a Cx47 missense mutation (Cx47R259C) equivalent to the human CX47R260C missense mutation associated with human primary lymphedema. Intradermal Evans Blue dye injection identified a 2-fold increase in regional lymph nodes in homozygous Cx47R259C mice compared to wildtype, particularly in the jugular region (4.8 ± 0.4 and 2.0 ± 0.0, respectively, p<0.01). Associated lymphatic channels were increased in Cx47R259C mice and mesenteric lymph reflux occurred in homozygous Cx47R259C mice but not in wildtype. Contractility of superficial cervical lymphatics, assessed by pressure myography, was reduced in homozygous Cx47R259C mice compared to wildtype. In conclusion, our data are the first to demonstrate a role for the Cx47 protein in lymphatic anatomy and function. This phenotype is similar to that found with other valve deficient mouse mutants, e.g., in Foxc2. Of significance, this study is the first to use CRISPR technology to develop a pre-clinical model of primary lymphedema and demonstrates the importance of distinguishing between lack of and presence of mutant protein when developing clinically relevant animal models for translation of pre-clinical findings.

Background

Data of the EMPA-REG OUTCOME study have demonstrated a beneficial effect of the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor empagliflozin on cardiovascular outcome in patients with type 2 diabetes. The reduction in cardiovascular mortality and hospitalization due to heart failure might be in part explained by the direct effects of empagliflozin on cardiac diastolic function. The EmDia trial investigates the short-term effects of empagliflozin compared to placebo on the left ventricular E/E′ ratio as a surrogate of left ventricular diastolic function.

Methods

EmDia is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, two-arm, placebo-controlled, parallel group study of phase IV. Individuals with diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) are randomized 1:1 to receive empagliflozin 10 mg per day or a placebo for 12 weeks. The main inclusion criteria are diagnosed as T2DM with stable glucose-lowering and/or dietary treatment, elevated HbA1c level (6.5–10.0% if receiving glucose-lowering therapy, or 6.5–9.0% if drug-naïve), and diastolic cardiac dysfunction with left ventricular E/E′≥8. The primary end point is the difference of the change in the E/E′ ratio by treatment groups after 12 weeks. Secondary end points include assessment of the effect of empagliflozin on left ventricular systolic function, measures of vascular structure and function, as well as humoral cardiovascular biomarkers (i.e. brain natriuretic peptide, troponin, C-reactive protein). In addition, the multidimensional biodatabase enables explorative analyses of molecular biomarkers to gain insights into possible mechanisms of the effects of empagliflozin on human health in a systems medicine-oriented, multiomics approach.

Conclusion

By evaluating the short-term effect of empagliflozin with a comprehensive biobanking program, the EmDia Study offers an opportunity to primarily assess the effects on diastolic function but also to examine effects on clinical and molecular cardiovascular traits.
