Published: November 2024

In this study, the chaotic behavior of a second-order circuit comprising a nonlinear resistor and Chua’s diode is investigated. This circuit, which includes a nonlinear capacitor and resistor among its components, is considered one of the simplest nonautonomous circuits. The research explores various oscillator characteristics, emphasizing their chaotic properties through bifurcations, Lyapunov exponents, periodicity, local Lyapunov region, and resonance. The system exhibits both stable equilibrium points and a chaotic attractor. Additionally, the second objective of this study is to develop a novel cryptographic technique by incorporating the designed circuit into the S-box method. The evaluation results suggest that this approach is suitable for secure cryptographic applications, providing insights into constructing a cryptosystem for images and text based on its complex behavior. Real-life data were analyzed using various statistical and performance criteria after applying the proposed methodology. These findings enhance the reliability of the cryptosystems. Moreover, The proposed methods are assessed using a range of statistical and performance metrics after testing the text and images. The cryptographic results are compared with existing techniques, reinforcing both the developed cryptosystem and the performance analysis of the chaotic circuit.
SIFusion: Lightweight infrared and visible image fusion based on semantic injection
Authors: Qian Song , Yang Liwei , Xue Yan , Li Ping
Published: November 2024

The objective of image fusion is to integrate complementary features from source images to better cater to the needs of human and machine vision. However, existing image fusion algorithms predominantly focus on enhancing the visual appeal of the fused image for human perception, often neglecting their impact on subsequent high-level visual tasks, particularly the processing of semantic information. Moreover, these fusion methods that incorporate downstream tasks tend to be overly complex and computationally intensive, which is not conducive to practical applications. To address these issues, a lightweight infrared and visible light image fusion method known as SIFusion, which is based on semantic injection, is proposed in this paper. This method employs a semantic-aware branch to extract semantic feature information, and then integrates these features into the fused features through a Semantic Injection Module (SIM) to meet the semantic requirements of high-level visual tasks. Furthermore, to simplify the complexity of the fusion network, this method introduces an Edge Convolution Module (ECB) based on structural reparameterization technology to enhance the representational capacity of the encoder and decoder. Extensive experimental comparisons demonstrate that the proposed method performs excellently in terms of visual appeal and advanced semantics, providing satisfactory fusion results for subsequent high-level visual tasks even in challenging scenarios.

Salmon is the most commonly consumed finfish in the United States of America (USA), and the mislabeling of salmon is a widespread problem. Washington State is a global supplier of wild-caught Pacific salmon and local salmon mislabeling results in substantial economic, ecological, and cultural impacts. Previous studies in Washington State identified high levels of mislabeled salmon in both markets and restaurants, resulting in local legislation being passed that requires proper labeling of salmon products, including identifying it as wild-caught or farm-raised. To investigate whether recent legislative efforts reduced salmon fraud rates, we acquired and genetically barcoded salmon samples from 67 grocery stores and 52 sushi restaurants in Seattle, Washington. DNA from each salmon sample was isolated and the cytochrome c oxidase gene was sequenced to identify the fish species. Our study, conducted from 2022–2023, revealed 18% of salmon samples from both grocery stores and sushi restaurants were mislabeled. While most samples were acquired during the fall months when wild salmon is in season, we still observed a high salmon mislabeling rate. Unlike grocery stores, Seattle sushi restaurants often sold farmed salmon mislabeled as wild salmon. Specifically, substitutions of vendor-claimed wild salmon with farmed salmon occurred in 32.3% of sushi restaurant samples compared to 0% of grocery store samples. Additionally, occurrences of wild salmon being substituted with another salmon species (wild or farmed) occurred in 38.7% of sushi restaurant samples compared to 11.1% of grocery store samples. All salmon substitutions in sushi restaurants harmed the customer financially as they were given a cheaper market-priced fish. In grocery stores, however, we did not detect significant economic loss to customers due to salmon mislabeling. Taken together, it is important to continue to develop and enforce legislation in Washington State that prevents salmon fraud and promotes ecologically sustainable fishing practices.
Chilean feminist collective LASTESIS: Performative and viral agency
Authors: Wladdimiro Quevedo Claudia
Published: November 2024

The purpose of this article is to explore and reflect on the concept of performative agency and feminism applying Haraway’s Cyborg analytical model to the creative work of Chilean artistic collective LASTESIS as a case study. Based on a review of the literature, the article examines the concept of performative feminist agency and how this agency functioned in artistic and political action in more than fifty countries around the world. The data includes class lectures from the course digital media, participation and agency at Uppsala University, previous research about the performance Un violador en tu camino (A Rapist in Your Path) by the Chilean feminist collective LASTESIS, other studies into performative agency, and LASTESIS zoom conferences. The collected data leads to the analysis of the following four themes: feminism, language, participation and agency. These topics are important for comprehending how performative agency can empower individuals to speak out against injustices. Methods of inquiry included phenomenological reflection on data elicited by feminism, agency and language. These findings have important implications for the broader domain of participation and agency. The theoretical lens provided an overall orientation, using the speech act theory and the sociotechnical theory, transformative perspectives that shaped the questions asked, providing a call for action. Haraway’s Cyborg analytical model helped to guide as to what issues are important to examine. The study did not find any other case as ‘complete’ as A Rapist in Your Path, meaning the theory behind the production and how it went viral around the world; but a comparative study case was not the focus. This study attempts to contribute to the knowledge exploring the influence of participation, language and feminism on performative agency.
Community media, digital participation and the geographical question in Malaysia: Notes and observations from the field
Authors: Teoh Sing Fei
Published: November 2024

Tactical deployments of a variety of digital community media for fostering social change and participation in the Malaysian context have been extensively explored and continue to be explored. These include peripheral discursive influences during and beyond election periods, community-building and disaster relief amidst nationwide epidemiological and flooding disasters, and creative political socialization amongst the (eastern and peninsular) Malaysian youth forbidden from political participation by the legal state apparatus. By bringing into this scholarship a geographical perspective, this report notes down preliminary insights from the pilot phase of a study on how and why the study of community (social, digital) media in a historically habitually diverse Malaysia (and South East Asia) could and should be geographically and developmentally (de)limited.
Percepción de investigadoras chilenas en ciencias sociales con respecto a su trabajo académico en tiempo de pandemia
Authors: Reyes Betanzo Claudia , Vernal Vilicic Teresa
Published: November 2024

Esta investigación, de metodología mixta, explora la forma en que las investigadoras del área de las Ciencias Sociales, Artes y Humanidades enfrentan los desafíos que implica ajustarse a nuevas dinámicas de trabajo en un mundo pandémico. Para ello se realizó una encuesta a 54 doctoras, investigadoras en ciencias sociales. Luego, de entre esta muestra se escogieron 10 que representaran el norte, sur y centro de Chile y se les entrevistó en profundidad Los resultados muestran que la pandemia del COVID- 19 afectó la productividad científica de las mujeres en términos de publicaciones y de adjudicación a fondos de investigación. Las razones de estos efectos estarían relacionadas con el aumento de la gestión y la docencia remota que tuvieron que asumir dentro de sus instituciones y, además, el cuidado de terceros y las labores domésticas que se intensificaron con las extensas cuarentenas. Se concluye que persisten los roles tradicionales de género dentro de las instituciones de educación superior, incluso en las áreas de las ciencias sociales y que con la pandemia se tornaron aún más patentes.
The Financial Life Well-Lived: Psychological Benefits of Financial Planning
Authors: Irving Kym
Published: November 2024

As the financial planning industry undergoes a series of reforms aimed at increased professionalism and improved quality of advice, financial planner training in Australia and elsewhere has begun to acknowledge the importance of interdisciplinary knowledge bases in informing both curriculum design and professional practice (e.g. FPA 2009). This paper underscores the importance of the process of financial planning by providing a conceptual analysis of the six step financial planning process using key mechanisms derived from theory and research in cognate disciplines, such as psychology and well-being. The paper identifies how these mechanisms may operate to impact client well-being in the financial planning context. The conceptual mapping of the mechanisms to process elements of financial planning is a unique contribution to the financial planning literature and offers a further framework in the armamentarium of researchers interested in pursuing questions around the value of financial planning. The conceptual framework derived from the analysis also adds to the growing body of literature aimed at developing an integrated model of financial planning.
KiwiSaver and Retirement Adequacy
Authors: MacDonald Kirsten , Bianchi Robert , Drew Michael
Published: November 2024

Investors face a long and uncertain journey to retirement and beyond, particularly when investing in new defined contribution schemes such as New Zealand’s KiwiSaver. This paper seeks to provide positive insights into the design of KiwiSaver by assessing the recently announced move from 4 to 6% minimum contribution rates using stochastic simulation. We consider retirement adequacy from two perspectives: (i) multiples of gross final earnings achieved during the accumulation phase; and (ii) replacement rates of salaries during the decumulation phase. The findings reveal that an increase in the contribution rate from 4 to 6% dramatically increases the probability of investors reaching a retirement target of eight (8) times final earnings, from 6% to 40%. However, despite the shift in lifetime contributions in the right direction, the simulation analysis suggests that, in the majority of scenarios, KiwiSaver investors will not achieve an adequate retirement target.
Succession Planning in Australian Farming
Authors: Hicks John , Sappey Richard , Basu Parikshit , Keogh Deirdre , Gupta Rakesh
Published: November 2024

The theme of this paper is that succession planning in Australian farming is under-developed. It may be linked to economic and social change which suggests that farmers need to adapt to generational change but this is being resisted or ignored. The implications of this are the slow decline of family farming, a poor transfer of skills and knowledge to subsequent generations of farmers in some parts of the agricultural sector and the potential for an extension of the financial services industry to develop a more effective raft of succession planning measures to mitigate the effects of a traditional approach to succession in agriculture.

Este dossier tiene como origen el coloquio titulado “Contra la barbarie del hombre, el mayor bien de la cultura escrita: jesuitas en la América española”, que realizamos en la sede del Instituto de Investigaciones Dr. José María Luis Mora en la ciudad de México a fines de noviembre de 2019. En dicho evento se reunieron trabajos dedicados al estudio de las antiguas bibliotecas de la Compañía de Jesús, entre ellas la de Pátzcuaro y la de Querétaro, las lecturas naturalistas del jesuita Miguel Venegas, las características de los impresos que los jesuitas produjeron en Lima y México entre los siglos XVI y XVII, la biblioteca que el jesuita Tomás Nieto Polo trasladó a América en el siglo XVIII, las compras de libros para la provincia novohispana, el estudio de un particular manuscrito jesuita. De esas investigaciones presentadas en ese evento únicamente una fue integrada en este dossier. La razón parece simple, pero no lo es y se puede ejemplificar con los trabajos dedicados al estudio de las bibliotecas jesuitas de Pátzcuaro y Querétaro.
Origen y destino de los libros confiscados a la comunidad jesuita de Celaya tras la expulsión de la Compañía de Jesús de Nueva España en 1767
Authors: Rivera Rodríguez Daniel
Published: November 2024

Este artículo analiza el inventario de libros que pertenecieron a la comunidad jesuita de Celaya. Dicha lista se elaboró durante el acto jurídico-administrativo realizado por la Junta Superior de Aplicaciones de Temporalidades, tras la expatriación en 1767 de la Compañía de Jesús de Nueva España. El estudio de esta fuente documental, junto con las marcas de propiedad, nos permite conocer la biblioteca del centro ignaciano de Celaya y, al mismo tiempo, demostrar que el secuestro de bienes se trató de un proceso político, en el que los libros, por su contenido y tradición entre los jesuitas, era necesario contenerlos mediante una administración especializada, hasta su reasignación a otras instituciones virreinales, como el Seminario Tridentino de Valladolid en el obispado de Michoacán.
Memorias de búsqueda y reconexión con la identidad indígena. Diálogos entre autobiografías e historia local
Authors: Lencina Rocio , Lemiez Griselda
Published: November 2024

En este trabajo analizamos escenas recuperadas de las memorias autobiográficas de cinco mujeres indígenas pertenecientes al pueblo mapuche que en la actualidad residen en el partido de Olavarría (Buenos Aires, Argentina). El recorte considerado da cuenta de aquellos momentos en que las actoras han expresado “tomar conciencia” sobre su pertenencia indígena y pretende visibilizar las significaciones que este proceso de identificación y rememoración conllevan en el presente y en el ámbito local. Articulando el análisis antropológico e histórico inscribimos estas narraciones en los escenarios más amplios en los que se insertan, enfatizando en el diálogo de estas memorias indígenas locales con el imaginario hegemónico olavarriense que, aún en el presente, exalta su carácter migrante europeo y minero, a la vez que reproduce discursos negacionistas y racistas.
Indigenous Feminism in Environmental Sustainability: Zora Neale Hurston’s Dust Tracks on A Road (1942)
Authors: Sadiq Aisha
Published: November 2024

In this essay, I explore and analyze Zora Neale Hurston’s autoethnography The Dust Tracks on a Road (1942) as an alternative to the modern anthropological simplification of nature and the African American indigenous identity. Hurston’s indigenous feminist subjectivity is focused on environmental sustainability and her resistance to anthropocentrism and racialized labor. Hurston’s subjectivity as an indigenous feminist scholar can be articulated as minoritarian in the critical posthumanities since it is not about margin; rather, it revolutionizes anthropological discourse by re-signifying the African American lumberer identity and environmental sustainability in a robust, appealing, and unique manner. She reconceptualizes Black indigenous lumberers by articulating their historical and cultural relationality with the forests owned by forest industries in Polk County, Florida.
Distant-Reading Communities: Monolingualisation in Fin-de-Siècle European Literary Historiography
Authors: Millim Anne-Marie
Published: November 2024

A return to earlier forms of distant reading multilingual corpora allows us to reflect on the monolingual authorial position that manages and mediates the language diversity and linguistic specificity (literariness) of multilingual corpora with the objective of fostering supranational (imagined) communities of readers (Anderson, 1983). Revisiting the distant-reading practices of fin-de-siècle Britain can help us identify historiographical focal points and priorities, provide an understanding of the scope and circumference of the corpus, and reveal the conceptions of gain and loss perceived as integral to distant reading. The tension between enrichment and dispossession inherent in the practice of literary historiography is acute when it comes to multilingual corpora, compiled to facilitate a crossing and re-weaving of the boundaries of language, understanding, and community. In the 12-volume series Periods of European Literature, edited and, in part, written by the journalist, literary historian, and Chair of Rhetoric and English Literature at Edinburgh University, George Saintsbury (1845–1933), Anglophone comparatists represent the multilingual corpora of exemplar works, gauging the necessity for, or dispensability of, translation, and managing the “great unread”, which, in this case, equates the “great unreadable”. In their desire to build imagined communities of readers of European literature, Saintsbury and his contributors tend to operate in a monolingual supralinguistic sphere in which languages, authors, and works are named, passages are occasionally quoted, but in which no reading of literature, neither on the side of the comparatist, nor of the reader, takes place. Literary language is thus only tangentially part of literary historiography.
Art, Magic and the Corruption of Consciousness

The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief account of part of Collingwood’s philosophy of art, in particular that dealing with the relationship between art, craft and magic, in relation to the corruption of consciousness, and to consider some of the implications for the aesthetic evaluation of ‘works of art’ produced as moral or political propaganda. I shall try to do this by drawing on the work of Matthew Kieran in relation to art and morality. I will not so much analyse or criticise Collingwood’s conception of the corruption of consciousness as presuppose it as the conception which makes sense of Collingwood’s understanding of the relation between art and morality.
Histological transformation in lung adenocarcinoma: Insights of mechanisms and therapeutic windows
Authors: Tan Nuopei , Li Yan , Ying Jianming , Chen Wanqing
Published: November 2024

Histological transformation from lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) to small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) after targeted therapies is recognized as a mechanism of resistance in ADC treatments. Patients with transformed lung cancer typically experience a poor prognosis and short survival time. However, effective treatment options for these patients are currently lacking. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms underlying histological transformation is crucial for the development of effective therapies. Hypotheses including intra-tumoral heterogeneity, cancer stem cells, and alteration of suppressor genes have been proposed to explain the mechanism of histological transformation. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the known molecular features and signaling pathways of transformed tumors, and summarized potential therapies based on previous findings.
Analysis of hypothetical channel flow blockage of a tubular fuel assembly in a 10 MWth nuclear research reactor
Authors: Ibrahim Said M. A. , Esawy Mohamed H. , Yousif Hossam I.
Published: November 2024

Heat removal from the core of nuclear reactors is a crucial safety requirement that needs much analysis and attention. Coolant channel flow blockage is one of the unintentional cases that may influence the required heat removal rate. As a result, unsustainable over heating of the fuel cladding could occur resulting eventually in affecting the fuel integrity. This paper deals with simulating the effect of total channel flow blockage in a single fuel assembly on its steady state thermal hydraulic parameters. Thermal hydraulic calculations are carried out for the much less studied IRT-4M ducted fuel assembly type in a 10 MWth WWR-S tank in pool research reactor. The simulated IRT-4M fuel assembly comprises six rounded rectangular fuel elements in which seven channels are used for cooling. A mathematical model is developed in which all steady state thermal hydraulic parameters and their distributions could be predicted for the blocked and unblocked flow channel cases. Calculations were performed for two separate hypothetical flow channel blockage cases in the innermost channel and the middle channel of the IRT-4M fuel assembly. The results showed that the maximum clad temperatures for the two-flow blockage cases are nearly 127.4 °C, and 132.2 °C, respectively. The temperature increases resulting from a single channel blockage are not high enough to cause fuel damage, although some local coolant boiling might occur. Model validation and results support the model outcomes and its applications in the safety of the research reactor during abnormal operation.
Improved intelligent model predictive controller for the nuclear power reactor system
Authors: Mostafa Khaled M. , AbduAllah Mahmoud , Saleh Hassan , Elsawy Nabila
Published: November 2024

Over the last two decades, extensive research has been conducted to enhance the control performance of reactor power. Various methodologies have been suggested and implemented to achieve optimal power control in nuclear reactors. However, due to the diverse characteristics and inherent uncertainties in the models, devising optimal controllers for nuclear systems remains a complex task. To address this, numerous approaches have been adopted to ensure controllability and resilience, aiming for an optimal nuclear power reactor controller. The Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithm has garnered significant attention as a viable approach to boost operational efficiency and overall system utility. In this research, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) method and MPC controller are combined together to form a novel algorithm termed PSO-MPC, aiming to amplify the system’s performance and overcomes the local minima problem that basically happens when using MPC controller. First, MPC controller is applied to the nuclear reactor model, then the suggested technique PSO-MPC also is applied to the system and a comparison of the outcomes using both techniques is done. The results demonstrate enhanced system response using the innovative technique.

This study aimed to identify the best combination of corn technologies and varieties to increase yield, a study case in Torowang, South Sulawesi. The findings of this study used a split-plot design with three replications. The cultivation technology package is composed of planting spacing, chemical fertilizer, and biofertilizer, with three levels of treatment. Meanwhile, varieties treatment as subplot consisted of six varieties of treatment: Nasa 29, Bisi 18, Sinhas 1, NK7328, Pioneer 27, and ADV 313. The study determined the effectiveness of six agronomy and three chlorophyll pigment characters. Based on the results, varietal diversity dominates the differences in growth traits, both morphological and physiological. Varietal potential differs from the diversity of crop technology packages, which show no significant effect on all growth traits. However, the interaction between the growth package and varieties shows a significant effect, indicating that the crop technology package significantly affects the growth response. Yield was significantly correlated with plant height, 1,000 grain weight, peeled ear weight, chlorophyll content meter (CCM) chlorophyll, and NDVI-UAV. The total chlorophyll trait based on CCM showed a significant correlation with yield but did not correlate with NDVI-UAV. The study concluded that Pioneer 27 and ADV 313 varieties are recommended for cultivation in Takalar, with the combination of planting space of 75 × 20 cm + N:P:K fertilizer dose of 200:100:50 kg ha−1 + 25 kg of KNO3 + 5 cc L−1 of Eco-Farming fertilizer to Pioneer 27 (Pc2V5) recommended. Further dissemination is required in other regions.
»Glauben Sie mir […]: das Wort Zufall ist Gotteslästerung«
Authors: Dörr Volker C.
Published: November 2024

The essay begins with a discussion of the concepts of chance and contingency from both philosophical and common knowledge perspectives. Subsequently, the essay analyzes Schiller’s rejection of chance as a dramaturgical factor, which he offers in the preface to Die Verschwörung des Fiesko zu Genua. This analysis is conducted with a reference to Lessing’s Hamburgische Dramaturgie. The reading then poses the question: Could Schiller’s figure Fiesko and Lessing’s Orsina be correct in crediting Providence’s hand, despite their misguided perception of their own standing and role? After a brief exploration of the »Schicksalsdrama« genre, which was prominent in the 19th century, the focus then shifts to Friedrich Dürrenmatt’s comedy Die Physiker. In Dürrenmatt’s play, chance emerges as the ultimate principle governing worldly events.

SUICIDIO E INTERÉS PÚBLICO EN LA PRENSA ESPAÑOLA: ANÁLISIS DESDE LA JURISPRUDENCIA CONSTITUCIONAL SOBRE LIBERTAD DE INFORMACIÓN
Authors: García Fernández Diego , Marcos del Cano Ana Mª , Topa Gabriela
Published: November 2024

Introducción: Cada año se suicidan en el mundo más de 700.000 personas, y en España ha sido primera causa de muerte externa desde 2008. Aunque es un problema de salud pública, la prensa sigue la norma genérica de no informar sobre el suicidio por miedo a generar un efecto contagio o Werther, y como espejo del silencio de la sociedad ante la muerte autoinducida. Es una forma de autocensura frente a la libertad de información recogida por el artículo 20.1.d) de la Constitución española y que se rompe solo en supuestos tasados y/o extremos, contribuyendo a una proyección distorsionada del suicidio. Objetivo: El Tribunal Constitucional español señala al interés público como requisito necesario de la noticia ante una posible colisión con otros derechos que limitan el derecho a la información. Este artículo confronta al suicidio con esa noción, analizando si las publicaciones sobre suicidio en prensa responden a ese interés público jurídico, no siempre equivalente al interés periodístico, que las haga legítimas frente a los límites de la libertad de información y también frente a la norma de silencio. Metodología: Se ha revisado en profundidad la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Constitucional referente al interés público de la información, y se ha confrontado ese argumentario jurídico con una base de datos de elaboración propia de noticias sobre suicidio publicadas entre 2013 y 2022. Resultados: Sin mencionar expresamente el suicidio, pero sin excluirlo, el Tribunal Constitucional sí reconoce la relevancia de otras materias que, por analogía, permiten inferir el interés general de la muerte autoinducida. El sesgo geográfico, la notoriedad de la persona, o la posibilidad de afectar al conjunto de la ciudadanía, pero nunca la satisfacción de la curiosidad ajena, marcan su relevancia pública, argumentable frente a los límites de la libertad de información. Discusión y conclusiones: A pesar de su interés público en abstracto, el examen de la jurisprudencia constitucional evidencia lo justificada que debe estar cada información particular sobre suicidio, especialmente cuando su protagonista es un ciudadano anónimo, para adecuarse al límite constitucional de la libertad de información. La autocensura ha entorpecido la posibilidad de que este problema de salud pública se debatiera de forma legítima en la opinión pública.

Descolonizando la Comprensión: Revelando el Papel de China en el Indo-Pacífico
Authors: Trigo Saugar Sergio
Published: November 2024

El análisis sobre las Relaciones Internacionales (RI) en el contexto del Indo-Pacífico destaca la necesidad de una revisión profunda de las teorías eurocéntricas predominantes y la inclusión de perspectivas alternativas, como las propuestas por la escuela china de RI. En primer lugar, la crítica al eurocentrismo en las teorías de RI revela una limitación importante en la comprensión de las dinámicas globales, especialmente en regiones culturalmente diversas como el Indo-Pacífico. La tendencia a centrarse en experiencias y perspectivas occidentales ha llevado a un sesgo en la interpretación de eventos y relaciones internacionales, pasando por alto las complejidades históricas y culturales de otras partes del mundo. Esto ha llevado a un entendimiento parcial de fenómenos como el ascenso de China y la emergencia de nuevas dinámicas de poder en la región, que requieren un enfoque más inclusivo y globalmente consciente. En segundo lugar, la escuela china de RI ofrece una perspectiva alternativa fundamentada en la filosofía y la historia china, introduciendo conceptos como armonía, jerarquía y racionalidad. Estos elementos proporcionan una base teórica única para comprender la política internacional desde una perspectiva no occidental. Sin embargo, surge el desafío de cómo estas ideas se aplican en la práctica política y cómo influyen en la gobernanza global. La traducción de estos conceptos a políticas concretas en el contexto del Indo-Pacífico en un campo de estudio en evolución que requiere un análisis más detallado y empírico. Además, se destaca la importancia de una cooperación más estrecha entre la teoría de las RI y los estudios de área para enriquecer la comprensión de las dinámicas geopolíticas en la región. Esto implica superar la visión eurocéntrica del estado y explorar otras formas de organización política que han sido relevantes históricamente en el Indo-Pacífico. Asimismo, se requiere un mayor conocimiento de los procesos históricos y culturales específicos de la región para evitar interpretaciones simplistas y esencialistas. Por último, se advierte sobre el riesgo de esencializar identidades y legados históricos en el contexto del Indo-Pacífico, así como de legitimar discursos políticos nacionalistas y autoritarios. Esto resalta la necesidad de una aproximación crítica y reflexiva a la teoría de las RI, que reconozca la complejidad y diversidad de las dinámicas geopolíticas en la región. El objetivo es la revisión de las teorías eurocéntricas y la integración de perspectivas alternativas desde un punto de vista del Indo-Pacífico, como las de la escuela china de RI, son fundamentales para una comprensión más completa y precisa de las RI en el Indo-Pacífico.
La memoria del dolor en el espacio Indo-Pacífico: justicia transicional y construcción nacionalista a través de digital games
Authors: Moreno Cantano Antonio César
Published: November 2024

La presente investigación, desde una óptica postestructuralista de las Relaciones Internacionales (poniendo el énfasis en la importancia de las emociones y las imágenes en la construcción identitaria de las sociedades) profundiza en los procesos de conmemoración y justicia transicional en el espacio indo-pacífico. A través de la tecnología interactiva e inmersiva, en concreto a través de los digital games, se analiza la memoria del dolor y su reconstrucción/divulgación en Camboya, China y Corea del Sur. El marco teórico se centrará en el concepto de new media memory o memoria mediada y en el papel de esta índole de creaciones culturales en los procesos de reparación, recuperación y difusión de acontecimientos traumáticos en el sentir identitario de las naciones apuntadas. Partiendo de los paradigmas metodológicos de Alexander Vandewalle y de Eun A Jo, se destaca cómo la narrativa, mecánicas y códigos visuales de los videojuegos seleccionados (The Killer, A Brief History of Cambodia, Resistance War Online y Unfolded: Camellia Tales) los convierten en museos interactivos de la memoria al servicio de fines reconciliadores, educativos y, por supuesto, nacionalistas. En la primera sección se hace un detallado repaso de las conexiones que se establecen entre la tecnología y el entretenimiento en las estrategias presentes de recuperación de la memoria colectiva, teniendo en cuenta que este género de recreaciones y representaciones tienen poder político y restaurador cuando los actores sociales las movilizan con fines estratégicos. En un segundo bloque aparece el estudio de caso, es decir, diferentes videojuegos cuya temáticas recrean, denuncian y divulgan episodios muy dramáticos en la historia reciente de Asia-Pacífico en el siglo XX: el genocidio camboyano bajo el régimen de Pol Pot, los asesinatos masivos y violaciones de derechos humanos en China desde la ocupación japonesa de Manchuria hasta el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y, finalmente, la masacre de la isla de Jeju, en Corea del Sur, en 1948, por parte del gobierno de Seúl y las fuerzas de ocupación de EEUU. Este estudio revela que la memoria colectiva y su representación digital adopta formas muy variadas dependiendo de la intención de las políticas estatales (o las ausencias de las mismas) que las promueven: reconciliación (saga Unfolded), denuncia y nacionalismo exacerbado (Resistance War Online) o divulgación a través de la simplicidad compositiva (títulos sobre Camboya).

Os estudos sobre violência estão em constante crescimento, visto que a sua compreensão engloba assimilar os diferentes extratos de manifestação, assim como o alargamento e a profundidade cujos impactos vão para além de indícios físicos. Dessa forma, analisar a violência envolve apreender, por meio de um eixo vertical e horizontal, as múltiplas formas pelas quais ela se revela. A obra Corpo desfeito, de Jarid Arraes (2022), traz as nuances não só corporais da narradora Amanda, mas também as múltiplas violências que auxiliam a construir seu corpo infantil. Desta forma, o objetivo deste estudo é compreender como a escala de violência geracional impacta na fragmentação do corpo infantil ao ponto de suprimir a vida da narradora Amanda, a descorporificando de suas próprias experiências como forma de sobrevivência. Logo, este estudo foi edificado de uma forma que contemplasse eixos essenciais de análise como a extensão corporal da violência, cuja manifestação se dá por meio da negligência familiar, do trabalho doméstico, da violência geracional e da punição como método disciplinar, assim como a exposição máxima da agressão que leva a descorporificação da narradora.

Se evaluó el efecto sobre las características de la canal y el perfil lipídico de la carne de novillos brahman en un sistema de pastoreo intensivo con suplementación, incorporando el uso de granos secos de destilería con solubles de maíz (DDGS). El experimento se llevó a cabo en un sistema de pastoreo rotacional en la zona del trópico húmedo de Costa Rica, y los animales se suplementaron durante 110 días en el período de finalización consumiendo dos suplementos nutricionales, o tratamientos, con 16 repeticiones cada uno: control, alimento balanceado de uso comercial en el país sin la incorporación de DDGS, y DDGS, alimento balanceado de uso comercial con la incorporación de 23% de DDGS. Se calculó la merma finca-planta, el rendimiento a canal y las pérdidas por goteo. Se realizó la calificación visual de las canales y se evaluó la temperatura, pH, color, área de ojo de lomo, espesor de grasa dorsal y marmoleo. Se tomaron muestras del músculo longissimus dorsi y se analizaron para determinar el extracto etéreo y el perfil de ácidos grasos de la carne. No se obtuvieron diferencias significativas (p > 0.05) para las variables de merma, rendimiento a canal, pérdidas por goteo, calificación visual y características de las canales entre los tratamientos evaluados. Sin embargo, sí se obtuvieron diferencias significativas (p < 0.05) para la concentración de ácido linoleico conjugado (0,04 g vs 0,58 g/100 g de grasa) en favor del tratamiento que incluía la suplementación con DDGS como fuente de ácidos grasos insaturados. Los resultados obtenidos bajo las condiciones de este experimento pueden generar una alternativa para incrementar el valor agregado de la carne producida en Costa Rica y favorecer su consumo como alimento con propiedades nutracéuticas. Sin embargo, es necesario evaluar el impacto de la suplementación con DDGS sobre las propiedades relacionadas con aceptabilidad, oxidación de lípidos y estabilidad de la carne.

Improvement of in vitro shoot regeneration and flowering from petal explants of Begonia X hiemalis fotsch
Authors: Luan Vu Quoc , Nhut Duong Tan
Published: November 2024

Begonias hold significant importance due to their use as culinary plants, medicinal remedies, decorative elements, and high-value crops. This research aims to find new explant materials for regeneration shoots and direct flowering with high frequency. In this study, high-frequency shoot regeneration and in vitro flowering from petal explants of Begonia x hiemalis Fotsch were achieved. Whole petal explants disinfected with an AgNPs solution at 0.5 g/L for 15 min achieved the highest survival rate. The highest shoot regeneration rate reached 86.66%, with 65.33 shoots/explant from ½-petal explants. Direct formation of the flower consists of two different structural forms, including single petal clusters and complete flower buds, with the corresponding flower formation rates of 19.66 petals/explant; 0.53 flower buds/explant, respectively, at the keel of the petals on the MS medium supplemented with 1000 mg/L myo-inositol, 1.0 mg/L BA, 1.0 mg/L NAA, 30 g/L sucrose and 9.0 g/L agar. Interestingly, increasing the concentration of myo-inositol in the culture medium led to the appearance of red-leaf shoots at the highest rate (12.66 shoots/explant), reaching a maximum shoot height of 1.40 cm after 8 weeks of culture. After each subculture, the red color on leaves tended to decrease gradually, and they were in vitro flowered after the second subculture at a rate of 15% and the third subculture at a rate of 10% on medium supplemented with 40 mg/L adenine, 1.0 mg/L NAA, 1.0 mg/L BA, 30 g/L sucrose, 9 g/L agar and 1 g/L activated charcoal. The plantlets regenerated from petal cultures bloomed with standard red pigments, similar to those grown in natural growing conditions.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common genetic cardiovascular disease and a major cause of sudden death. It is also involved with increased morbidity and mortality of various cardiovascular diseases. Genetic factors have been identified as playing an important role in determining the phenotypic manifestation of cardiac hypertrophy. However, only 50–60% of HCM patients have been identified as having mutations in known genes, suggesting that studies are needed to find more disease genes. HCM is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in genes encoding for sarcomeric proteins and proteins involved in many cardiomyocyte signaling pathways that activate protein tyrosine kinases. The role of specific protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) in these pathways is unknown. Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology allow the application of genetic analysis-based diagnostics to become more widespread and help differentiate HCM from other cardiomyopathies. The results of genetic diagnosis will provide insights into the cell biology and pathogenesis of HCM as a basis for developing therapies that can prevent or treat patients.
In this study, whole exome sequencing was performed on two patients who were diagnosed with HCM to screen the associated mutations. Two heterozygous mutations c.836A>C, p.Tyr279Ser and c.83A>C, p.His28Pro have been identified in the PTPN11 and PRKAG2 gene, respectively. These results have provided an understanding of the cause of the patient’s disease, helping clinicians diagnose and provide genetic counseling to the patient's family.
