Entre le roman de la tragédie d’une nation et l’allégorie théâtrale grotesque. Ismail Kadaré et Matéi Visniec: une lecture parallèle
Authors: Șerban Andrei C.
Published: March 2024

Fine connoisseurs of totalitarian mechanisms and familiar with the experience of censorship and uprooting, Ismail Kadaré and Matei Vișniec are, in different proportions, followers of a type of literature that, often adopting the principles of allegory, illustrates the sunset of a nation crushed by political extremism. While the novels of the Albanian author evoke, in a style that combines macabre rough detail and shades of magical realism, the ruins of a people in the proximity of tragedy since its origins, the Romanian playwright orchestrates in his plays tragicomic metaphors about how the destiny of a country has been seized by the ambitions of an aberrant political system. This article1 2 proposes a parallel close reading exercise of the two authors who, although coming from different geographical spaces, share the same thematic obsession, in an attempt to capture a detailed yet painful picture of a people marked by the terror of a totalitarian history.
Aspiración y Expectativa: Un Estudio de Percepción Social Sobre Robot Imaginario
Authors: Hyunanda Vinny Flaviana , Palacios Ramirez José
Published: March 2024

Technological advancement has led to a series of transformations in human life that have deeply permeated the innermost circle of the social sphere. Among these innovations, the development of social robots stands out, whose influence on the relationship between humans and technology, particularly in the field of care, is notable. The objective of this study is to carry out an investigation into the aspirations and expectations related to the development of social robots, from the perspective of older people and children, in the context of care in three countries: Spain, Romania, and Italy. With the involvement of 41 elderly people and 44 children, this study aims to identify the elements that generate feelings of approval or disapproval in relation to social robots. Using a participatory approach, this study expands the understanding of the perceptions and aspirations of children and elderly people, in relation to their vision of what shape a social robot might take. The analysis highlights that there is a tendency to feminize the representation of the imagined robot, as a consequence of the association with attributes and roles traditionally considered feminine in society.
Rumbos de la pedagogía teatral en México y América Latina
Authors: Campesino Juan
Published: March 2024

Ties between theater and elementary education are revised in order to make visible a tradition, namely authentic theatrical pedagogy, which is normally eclipsed by the teaching of the greatest masters of the theatrical arts, in which case the pedagogical substratum is not often in the foreground. Instead, some elementary-school professors in Europe and elsewhere have found in theater an ideal didactic tool to work with children not just in matters strictly related to the arts but in reference to other school subjects.
Arqueología de Cerro Guido y Sierra Baguales, Chile: avances en la reconstrucción de sociedades cazadoras-recolectoras de ambientes de estepa y montaña al noreste de Magallanes
Authors: Sierpe Victor , Palacios Cristobal , Martin Fabiana , Borrero Luis Alberto , Arecheta Constanza , Caravantes Francisca
Published: March 2024

Se presentan los resultados de la prospección y sondeos arqueológicos realizados en la zona de cerro Guido y sierra Baguales (2021). La investigación abarcó cuatro sectores entre el norte del río las Chinas y el área comprendida entre el chorrillo Las Flores y la formación geológica del mismo nombre. Antecedentes previos indican evidencias líticas en superficie asociadas al curso del río Baguales y la existencia de sitios fúnebres de tipo “chenque” en cerro Guido (ca. 1150-300 años AP). Durante las prospecciones se registraron decenas de hallazgos en superficie, además de cinco sitios arqueológicos a cielo abierto de grandes dimensiones sugiriendo de esta manera una ocupación más amplia del territorio por parte de grupos cazadores-recolectores terrestres. Los sondeos permiten inferir preliminarmente la explotación de especies terrestres y el aprovisionamiento de materias primas líticas río arriba y/o en sectores altos próximos a la sierra Baguales. Nuevas dataciones amplian la cronología conocida con una antigüedad de ca. 2500 años AP. En el extremo sur de la formación Las Flores, el sondeo de un abrigo rocoso permitió el hallazgo de restos óseos humanos aislados y dispersos en un contexto inusual para la zona, donde hasta el momento sólo se registraban entierros en “chenque”.
Cambios entésicos en restos humanos de cazadores-recolectores del Holoceno tardío en Patagonia Austral: una aproximación al estudio de patrones de actividad física
Authors: Zúñiga Thayer Rodrigo
Published: March 2024

El estudio de cambios entésicos (CE) forma parte de investigaciones bioarqueológicas para explorar patrones de actividad de poblaciones antiguas. Aunque algunos estudios de Patagonia Austral han sugerido diferencias en su desarrollo producidas por distintas estrategias económicas cazadoras-recolectoras, las descripciones son cualitativas y sin metodologías específicas. El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar la posible variabilidad de patrones de actividad física en poblaciones cazadoras-recolectoras que habitaron Patagonia Austral (i.e., Santa Cruz/norte de Tierra del Fuego y sur de Tierra del Fuego) durante el Holoceno tardío, a través del estudio sistemático de cambios entésicos fibrocartilaginosos. Se analizaron CE en miembros superiores e inferiores en 17 individuos adultos de ambos sexos mediante el Nuevo Método Coimbra. Los resultados mostraron un aumento de CE relacionado con la edad y una mayor prevalencia en femeninos. Los individuos del sur de Tierra del Fuego con dieta marítima mostraron un mayor desarrollo de CE que aquellos con dieta terrestre, particularmente en las entesis que comprenden el antebrazo y la mano. No fueron identificadas diferencias cronológicas. En conclusión, se plantea que el desarrollo de los CE en los cazadores-recolectores muestra divergencias según las estrategias de subsistencia terrestre y marítima.
Aportes a la producción de cerámicas coloniales de Antiguyoc (puna de Jujuy, Argentina): caracterización petrográfica de pastas
Authors: Perez Pieroni María Josefina
Published: March 2024

Con el objetivo de aportar al conocimiento de la organización de la manufactura y la circulación de recipientes cerámicos en momentos coloniales y republicanos tempranos para un sector de la puna jujeña, se presentan los resultados del análisis de materiales cerámicos obtenidos en un poblado tardocolonial que creció en torno a la minería del oro: Antiguyoc. Observaciones macroscópicas y submacroscópicas sobre una muestra de fragmentos y sus pastas, permitieron seleccionar 20 tiestos para el montaje de secciones delgadas y su análisis en microscopio petrográfico. Debido a que cinco procedían de fragmentos con vitrificados o esmaltes en sus superficies, se realizó una primera aproximación a la observación de esas cubiertas. Se clasificaron las pastas analizadas en seis grupos en lupa binocular y mediante petrografía, comparables a los definidos previamente para otros sitios de la puna de Jujuy. Sus características, las técnicas de modelado y algunas formas, permiten postular una continuidad en ciertas elecciones técnicas dentro de una tradición tecnológica regional que perdura con posterioridad a la llegada de los españoles. Sin embargo, se incorporan nuevos elementos, como vitrificados y esmaltes en las superficies de algunos recipientes abiertos con pastas diferentes de las prehispánicas locales y que probablemente ingresaron desde otras regiones.

Este trabajo presenta los primeros resultados del contenido arqueobotánico recuperado de artefactos cerámicos provenientes de contextos precoloniales del sitio Sara Olga 1, Soto, Córdoba. El objetivo es indagar los potenciales usos de estos recipientes considerando sus características morfológicas y funcionales, así como su relación con los microrrestos vegetales hallados en su interior. A partir de la reconstrucción de los recipientes, se pudo identificar un total de siete ollas, cuatro cántaros, tres escudillas y dos cuencos, mientras que nueve fragmentos analizados no pudieron adscribirse a ninguna forma específica. Los resultados del análisis de los microrrestos vegetales indican que plantas silvestres (Neltuma sp., Geoffroea decorticans, Arecaceae) y cultivadas (Zea mays, Solanaceae, Cucurbitacea) fueron manipuladas y consumidas de manera diferencial según el tipo de recipiente.
On Disjunctive Rado Numbers for Some Sets of Equations
Authors: Dileep A. , Moondra Jai , Tripathi Amitabha
Published: March 2024

Given a set of linear equations $S$ with positive integral parameters $a_1,\ldots,a_k$, $k \ge 2$, the disjunctive Rado number for the set $S$ is the least positive integer $R=R_d(S)$, if it exists, such that every $2$-coloring $\chi$ of the integers in $[1, R]$ admits a monochromatic solution to at least one equation in $S$. We give conditions for the existence of $R_d(S)$, and also give general upper and lower bounds on $R_d(S)$, when $S$ is a set of additive equations $\{y=x+a_1,\ldots,y=x+a_k\}$. We also determine $R_d(S)$ when $\max a_i$ is large enough, or when $a_1,\ldots,a_k$ form an arithmetic or geometric progression. We also give conditions for the existence of $R_d(S)$ when $S$ is a set of multiplicative equations $\{y=a_1 x,\ldots,y=a_k x\}$. Further, we give a general search-based algorithm to determine $R_d(S)$ when $S$ is a system of equations in two variables, given an upper bound on $R_d(S)$ and an algorithm to determine solutions to $S$. This algorithm runs in time $O(ka_k \log a_k)$ for the case of additive equations, which is exponentially better than the brute-force algorithm for the problem.
Crystal Isomorphisms and Mullineux Involution II
Authors: Jacon Nicolas , Lecouvey Cédric
Published: March 2024

We present a new combinatorial and conjectural algorithm for computing the Mullineux involution for the symmetric group and its Hecke algebra. This algorithm is built on a conjectural property of crystal isomorphisms which reduces in fact to iterations of a very elementary procedure on sequences of integers.
The Squish Map and the $SL_2$ Double Dimer Model
Authors: Foster Leigh , Young Benjamin
Published: March 2024

A plane partition, whose 3D Young diagram is made of unit cubes, can be approximated by a "coarser" plane partition, made of cubes of side length 2. Indeed, there are two such approximations obtained by "rounding up" or "rounding down" to the nearest cube. We relate this coarsening (or downsampling) operation to the squish map introduced by the second author in earlier work. We exhibit a related measure-preserving map between the dimer model on the honeycomb graph, and the SL2 double dimer model on a coarser honeycomb graph; we compute the most interesting special case of this map, related to plane partition q-enumeration with 2-periodic weights. As an application, we specialize the weights to be certain roots of unity, obtain novel generating functions (some known, some new, and some conjectural) that (-1)-enumerate certain classes of pairs of plane partitions according to how their dimer configurations interact.

Published: March 2024

Introduction: Direct observation of procedural skill (DOPS) is a method of assessing a trainee's performance in a work setting. It involves a supervisor monitoring the trainee while they carry out a procedural skill using a structured checklist. This study aimed to investigate the perceptions and levels of satisfaction among medical interns and their assessors during their surgical clinical attachments at the Department of Surgery, Debre Tabor University, Ethiopia.

Methods: The research was based on the steps of an action research project. The test includes basic surgery procedures like securing a peripheral IV line and drawing blood for testing, as well as skills like suturing and knot tying, putting in a nasogastric tube (NGT), and putting in a trans-urethral urinary catheter. The data gathering instruments used were self-administered, semi-structured questionnaires for both interns and their evaluators. After the implementation of the DOPS interventions, the questionnaire was distributed to both students and instructors. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 26.0 software, calculating frequency and percentage values for comparison.

Results: Most of participants believe that DOPS has the potential to enhance the objectivity of assessing students' skills. The majority of participants strongly agreed that DOPS enhances the relationship between students and teachers, provides valuable feedback to medical interns, should continue in other departments in the future, and is an effective teaching and learning tool. The DOPS performance showed a significant improvement between the first and second assessments in all four procedures.

Conclusion: DOPS can serve as a standard tool for assessing fundamental practical abilities in the surgical fields. Given that action research involves a paradigm shift and necessitates ongoing reflection and improvement, it is advisable to conduct additional studies to evaluate the performance of interns in all other departments.

While combining academic and sports development is believed to provide opportunities that enable an individual to possess a better-balanced lifestyle, a stronger sense of self in areas other than sports, and greater life skills beyond their athletic career, the process is challenging and presents several barriers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of integrating students' career opportunities on dual career development among students with a careful interest in how dual careers have become a relevant matter in the world of work as one of the tools that can improve social life. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design with both qualitative and quantitative approaches in which a population involving headteachers, deputy headteachers, directors of studies, career guidance teachers, games teachers, sports officers, and students who have been involved in games and sports in the schools were targeted. The study used a sample of 186 people selected using purposive, simple random and cluster sampling techniques. A pre-tested, validated, self-administered questionnaire and interview guide were used to gather data. The findings of the study revealed that for integration of students' needs with careers and dual career development, R2 = .495, F=179.242, Sig= .000 < .05 for an academic career and R2 = .670, F=371.676, Sig= .000 < .05 for a sports career. The study concluded that the integration of students' needs with careers had a higher influence on sports than on academic career development. The study finally recommends that career teachers need to provide guidance tailored to the needs of each student to allow for the integration of student needs with career opportunities. Mass guidance to groups of students does not provide for the integration of individual needs

Published: March 2024

This study focused on public JHS mathematics teachers’ perceived knowledge about problem-solving and the extent to which mathematics teachers employed problem-solving strategies. The sequential explanatory research design was adopted for this research. The study sample consists of eighty-six JHS mathematics teachers in the Tamale metropolis. Means and standard deviations were used to analyse the quantitative data. The thematic analysis was done on the qualitative data after it was transcribed. The results demonstrated that even though JHS mathematics teachers have good knowledge about problem-solving, they moderately used problem-solving instructional strategies in their lessons and highly used task-based instruction and cooperative learning strategies. Therefore, the researcher recommends a new paradigm of training teachers on problem-solving strategies for public JHS mathematics instruction. The headteachers must ensure that mathematics teachers are supervised and motivated to use problem-solving methods to enhance students’ academic performance in mathematics
