Комментарий к 1 Тим 3:2: значение и понятие греческого слова ἀνεπίλεμπτος
Authors: И.О. Магницкий
Published: November 2024

В статье рассматриваются лексико-грамматические особенности и семантика греческого слова ἀνεπίλημπτος, которое в Синодальном переводе Нового Завета в Первом апостольском Послании св. апостола Павла к Тимофею (1 Тим 3:2) переведено как «непорочный». Целью написания статьи явилось намерение показать, что это слово и по своему значению, и по своему смыслу верно характеризует одно из основных нравственных качеств, которыми, и не только, по определению св. апостола Павла, должен обладать епископ.

The article deals with lexical and grammatical features and semantics of the Greek word ἀνεπίλημπτος translated as “blameless” in the First Epistle of St. Paul the Apostle to Timothy (1 Tim 3:2) in the synodal translation of the New Testament. The purpose of the article is to show that by both its meaning and its sense, this word correctly names one of the basic moral qualities a bishop must possess, according to the definition of St. Paul the Apostle, and not only his.

Authors: Hasnain Sheikh Shamim , Jasimuddin Sajjad M. , Hasan Rahaman , Kabir Russell
Published: November 2024

Objective: The purpose of this paper is to explore a few insights into the national airlines of Bangladesh (called Biman) and how they can achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Further, the paper evaluates the available strategies using IEF, EFE, SWOT, IE & QSPM matrices/techniques as proposed by David & David (2017).
 
Theoretical Framework: IFE (Internal Factor Evaluation) & EFE (External Factor Evaluation (e.g. input stage), SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threats) & IE (Internal and External) matrix (e.g. matching stage), and finally QSPM (Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix) (e.g. decision-making stage) are used for strategy formulation.
 
Method: This study applies a mixed-method approach. Face-to-face interviews with the passengers of London-Dhaka-London are conducted, and additionally, the content analysis of relevant newspapers and journal articles is carried out. 
 
Results and Discussion: QSPM finds, that market development (priority-1), offensive strategy (priority-2), and product development (priority-3) are the appropriate strategies for the airline.It would be not easy to generalize the results as the study is based on one public airline company in a particular country (Bangladesh).
 
Research Implications:  This study has both theoretical and practical implications. The study demonstrates how to formulate plans using a quantitative method. The result of this study might be beneficial to Bangladesh's Civil Aviation Authority. The recommendations of this study may help generate profits in Biman.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the strategy literature. Strategy development processes for any business, including aviation, may be eye-opening.

South Africa and BRICS: Assessing the Flying Geese Strategy as a Re-Distributional Mechanism for Inclusive Economic Gains
Authors:   Senior Research Fellow, University of Johannesburg,Centre of Diplomacy and Leadership in Africa (CADL), Yalaghuli Sele
Published: November 2024

Almost a decade and a half has passed since South Africa joined BRICS in 2010 and it is yet to reap the full economic benefits and advantages which it was promised. For this reason, this article assesses the extent to which the ‘Flying Geese’ model can assist South Africa, as a late comer to BRICS, to catch up with the other members within the grouping by expanding its market presence. It will do so by examining the GDP composition of each of the original BRICS member states between 2010 and 2022 in order to identify which labour-intensive economic activities may be passed down from the so-called “lead goose”, being China, to the latecomer, South Africa. It will analyse the extent to which BRIC nations have shifted its production from consumer to capital goods and whether this is reflected in the grouping’ sexports, as suggested by the Flying Geese model. The article will also make brief use of the Cobb-Douglas production function to showcase the relationship between output and production inputs within BRICS. This article earmarks the textile manufacturing industry as one such sector for consideration. Textile manufacturing activitiesare already being relinquished from China to India, and indeed a newcomer, Ethiopia. It provides recommendations and caveats for the plausible adoption of this development strategy for the BRICS+ group as a means to strengthen South Africa’s manufacturing base, and thereby help address its pressing socioeconomic concerns of high youth unemployment, poverty and underdevelopment.

Students’ Perceptions of Evaluative Judgement in Technology-Mediated Dialogic Peer Feedback
Authors: Xie Xiao , Fung Yong Mei , Thai Yap Ngee , Nimehchisalem Vahid
Published: November 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted a worldwide shift in higher education, transitioning from traditional in-person teaching to online instruction. Consequently, there is a need to reevaluate classroom assessment methods for language educators. It involves a departure from summative assessment to formative assessment and sustainable assessment practices. As part of this paradigm shift, academia has placed significant emphasis on developing evaluative judgement and integrating peer feedback. This study focuses on a 12-week English expository writing course, where 66 English Linguistic undergraduates at a Malaysian public university actively participated in technology-mediated dialogic peer feedback under the guidance of two instructors to enhance their development of evaluative judgement in argumentative writing. The thematic analysis of transcript data from semi-structured interviews unveiled that the participants encountered challenges in utilising teacher feedback to enhance their peer feedback skills, overcoming socio-affective barriers to providing and receiving constructive feedback with an open mind and coordinating group members to collaborate effectively in an online environment. They generally held a positive stance towards technology-mediated dialogic peer feedback, acknowledging the advantages of honing evaluative judgement in argumentative writing as providers and receivers of feedback. This study aims to contribute to the discourse regarding students’ openness to peer feedback (i.e., peer feedback orientation) and the challenges and benefits they encounter within the digital learning environments, which have become increasingly common in higher education, with the goal of fostering evaluative judgement within and beyond the writing course.
NMR Phase Error Correction with New Modelling Approaches
Authors: Jiang Aixiang , Gravel Andrée E. , Tse Ethan , Das Sanjoy Kumar , Hanley James , Nadon Robert
Published: November 2024

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a highly sensitive analytical technique essential for precise molecular identification and quantification. However, accurate results depend on effective pre-processing to correct for various types of errors. Phase error correction, in particular, is crucial for ensuring the reliability of NMR data. Current methods often rely on a single linear model, which may not adequately address all types of phase errors. As a result, this limitation frequently requires manual intervention, making the process both time-consuming and prone to errors. To address these limitations, we propose three modelling approaches for NMR phase error correction: nonlinear shrinkage, multiple models, and a new optimization function called delta absolute net minimization (DANM). Our comparison of seven methods revealed that nonlinear shrinkage outperformed others in both simulated spectra and a diabetes study, followed by multiple models with DANM. Additionally, our spike-in experiments demonstrated that DANM performed quite well in both single and multiple models. Our nonlinear shrinkage approach is a simple yet effective solution. We provide an open-source R package, NMRphasing, available on CRAN (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/NMRphasing/) and on GitHub (https://github.com/ajiangsfu/NMRphasing).

The Gendered Divide: Exploring the Public/Private Dichotomy in Contemporary India
Authors: Jain Sehal , Bhartiya Neha
Published: November 2024

The Public/Private divide forms the central core of feminist thought even today and its roots can be traced back to the origin of liberalism and divide between state and market forces. Feminist scholars, however, have laid bare the gendered basis of this dichotomy by arguing that the public sphere essentially belongs to men, whereas the private sphere is inhabited by women, but is controlled by men. The dominance over the public sphere has resulted in the control over the private sphere, crippling women’s rights, and freedoms. It is important to de-gender this divide to ensure that women are given equal rights and freedom. Gender is a fluid category including a spectrum of genders; the primary focus of this study is to understand the dichotomy with respect to women, their position in the public-private context and de-gendering the divide to make the spheres more accessible and just for women. Various scholars have suggested measures to de-gender this dichotomy by either making the private sphere more just, increasing women’s presence in the public sphere or refuting the dichotomy altogether. This paper seeks to analyze these suggestive measures in the context of Indian society and examine the extent to which the Indian society has been able to de-gender its public and private spaces to evolve gender neutral spheres of existence. The objective of the study is to examine the newer forms it takes to evade all possible measures to dismantle it to subjugate and dominate women in both spheres.
Telerehabilitation with a Patient Diagnosed with Acromegaly and Bilateral Total Loss of Vision Secondary to Pituitary Macroadenoma: A Case Report
Authors: Madayag, MD Myrielle Marie D. , Bundoc, MD Josephine R. , Leochico, PTRP, MD Carl Froilan D.
Published: November 2024

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused unprecedented disruptions in the lives of people, inducing a change in social behavior because of quarantine and physical distancing measures for health safety. It greatly affected not only the general population but also the healthcare system, forcing healthcare providers and consumers to adjust from the traditional mode of in-person consultation to telemedicine to enable safe and prompt delivery of adequate and efficient patient care. A 35-year-old female was diagnosed with acromegaly secondary to pituitary macroadenoma, presenting as a 10-year history of weight gain, amenorrhea, hand and feet enlargement, coarse facial features, and bilateral vision loss. Patient then underwent craniotomy, right petrosal cranialization of frontal sinus, and tumor excision during the height of the pandemic in a COVID-19 referral center. Post-operatively, she was assisted in all activities of daily living. She was discharged after a few days of in-patient rehabilitation in order to decrease risk of contracting COVID-19. Telerehabilitation was then done using both asynchronous and synchronous methods while the patient stayed at home. Given the patient’s functional and visual disabilities, it was a challenge to do the traditional telerehabilitation techniques that highly rely on intact visual senses. We hereby share our experiences in providing virtual care amid these challenges towards achieving the patient’s optimal rehabilitation goals.

Authors: Tan, MD Kelsey Maxine C. , Leochico, PTRP, MD Carl Froilan D. , Bundoc, MD Josephine R. , Dy Ching Bing-Agsaoay, MD Dorothy
Published: November 2024

Background and Objective. The Gross Motor Function Classification System – Expanded and Revised (GMFCS-E&R) is a valid tool commonly used by physicians, therapists, and potentially also by other healthcare workers even at the primary care and grassroots levels to facilitate immediate screening, appropriate referral, and management of children with disability needing mobility devices. As Filipinos comprise one of the largest diaspora populations, this study aimed to provide a Filipino version of the GMFCS-E&R and determine its internal consistency and inter- and intra-rater reliability.
Methods. A multidisciplinary group of rehabilitation professionals at Philippine General Hospital worked with linguists to translate the original English GMFCS-E&R to Filipino/Tagalog, the Philippines’ official language. Several steps were done: authorization from the original tool developers (CanChild™); forward and backward translations; semantic analysis; content analysis; pilot testing; and submission of final version to CanChild™. Internal consistency and inter- and intra-rater reliability were determined.
Results. The Filipino GMFCS-E&R translation was formulated and underwent several modifications. The final version yielded high internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.96) and inter- and intra-rater reliability (interclass correlation coefficients: 0.895 and 0.928, respectively).
Conclusion. The Filipino GMFCS-E&R is a reliable tool for use among pediatric Filipino patients for communication, clinical decision-making, registries, and research.
“They say it may cause cancer:” A Qualitative Exploration of Filipinos' Contraceptive Misconceptions and Primary Healthcare Interventions

Published: November 2024

Background and Objective. Contraceptives are widely acknowledged for preventing unwanted pregnancies. However, there is a prevalent lack of awareness regarding contraceptives, leading to unaddressed misconceptions. This study aimed to identify common contraceptive misconceptions among men and women of reproductive age and explore how primary health workers address them.
Methods. A qualitative study was conducted in two phases within District 5, Manila City. Phase 1 comprised focused group discussions with men and women of reproductive age (n=60), while Phase 2 involved conducting in-depth interviews with primary healthcare providers (n=16). MAXQDA, a qualitative software, to organize and code the data, was utilized.
Results. Women of reproductive age reported several misconceptions about contraceptives, including concerns about adverse health effects, emotional and behavioral changes, perceived ineffectiveness, and cosmetic or bodily changes. For instance, they believed that contraceptives could lead to serious health complications, such as cancer, genital injury, and even death. Primary healthcare providers addressed these misconceptions through open dialogue during service delivery, particularly during prenatal and postpartum check-ups and infant immunizations. They utilized patient education strategies, including the teach-back method, and conducted community outreach and workshops on contraceptives and family planning, especially during Women’s Month.
Conclusion. Several misconceptions were identified among women of reproductive age regarding the proper use and safety of contraceptive methods, as well as misguided beliefs. In contrast, men did not exhibit any misconceptions about contraceptives, which warrants further investigation. Primary healthcare providers have taken a proactive approach to address this issue by offering comprehensive explanations and ensuring clear understanding between healthcare providers and women. Promoting contraceptive health literacy could help bridge the knowledge gap between men and women of reproductive age.
STAKLENA MENAŽERIJA TENNESSEEJA WILLIAMSA – PRVA DRAMA SJEĆANJA
Authors: Džolan Maja
Published: November 2024

Staklena menažerija Tennesseeja Williamsa prva je drama sjećanja. Termin je uveo sam autor u Režijskim opaskama. Riječ je o drami koja raskida tradiciju realistične drame američkoga kazališta 20. stoljeća, uvodi ekspresionističke elemente, stvara novo plastično kazalište te radnju temelji na sjećanju glavnoga lika kroz koje se prikazuju i sjećanja drugih likova. Tom Wingfiel ne samo da je glavni lik, protagonist drame, nego i pripovjedač čijim monologom drama počinje i završava. Ostali likovi, majka Amanda, sestra Laura te udvarač Jim O’Connor, svojim sjećanjima razvijaju dramsku radnju, opisuju psihologiju likova te dočaravaju mjesto i vrijeme radnje. Iako je moguće naći autobiografske elemente, Staklena menažerija nije zapis iz autorova života, nego sjećanje glavnoga lika. Drama sjećanja tako postaje inventivno otkriće koje slijede drugi autori i čini prekretnicu u razvoju američke, ali i svjetske kazališne scene.

UPRAVLJANJE OSOBNOM KOMUNIKACIJOM – UTJECAJ DRESS CODEA NA PORUKU JAVNOSTI
Authors: Šabić Denis
Published: November 2024

Kako bi netko stvorio prvi dojam, potrebno je samo tri do pet sekundi i taj prvi dojam oblikovan je onim što se može vidjeti ili čuti u tih prvih nekoliko sekundi. Kada upoznajemo nekoga, prvi put stvaramo dva dojma: procjenjujemo koliko je ta osoba topla i pouzdana i koliko je snažna i kompetentna. Te dvije osobine, pouzdanost i samopouzdanje, čine 80 do 90 % prvih dojmova, navodi Amy Cuddy, socijalna psihologinja s Harvard Business School. Kultura odijevanja tema je koja je oduvijek zanimala mnoge teoretičare i istraživače, baš kao i područje komunikacije. U ovome radu proučava se odijevanje kao vrsta komunikacije te se prikazuje na koji se način može komunicirati odjećom. Najveći dio komunikacije, više od 70 %, odvija se neverbalno. Neverbalna komunikacija podrazumijeva geste, mimiku, odijevanje i držanje tijela. S obzirom na to da većinu poruka šaljemo upravo na taj način, možemo reći da je ona izuzetno važna u izgradnji naših odnosa. Jedna je od ključnih postavki dobre komunikacije usklađenost verbalne i neverbalne komunikacije. To znači da naše riječi i držanje tijela trebaju biti u skladu s našim emocijama i stavovima. Problemi nastaju kada verbalno šaljemo jednu, a neverbalno sasvim suprotnu poruku. Komunikacijske vještine, kako verbalne tako i neverbalne, iznimno su važne u ljudskim odnosima jer neuspješna komunikacija stvara brojne nesporazume, probleme i konflikte, dok uspješna poboljšava međuljudske odnose te pridonosi istinskomu razumijevanju sugovornika.

U radu se analitički sagledavaju preduvjeti koji demokraciju čine stabilnom ili nestabilnom u etnički podijeljenu društvu. Teorije proizišle iz proučavanja čimbenika koji pridonose stabilizaciji etničkih sukoba i djelotvornosti demokratskoga upravljanja suglasne su da duboke etničke i ostale društvene podjele predstavljaju snažnu prijetnju demokraciji. Uz to, došlo se do zaključka da je za sprječavanje sukoba i uspješno upravljanje potrebno uspostaviti takve institucionalne aranžmane koji su namijenjeni upravo podijeljenim društvima koji, prije svega, počivaju na podjeli moći. Osim nekoliko standardnih teorija koje se bitno oslanjaju na linearnu logiku, radi postizanja sveobuhvatnijega pristupa sagledavanju problema u radu propituju se i višestruki čimbenici metodom istodobna korištenja različitih teorija.

The Identification of Wildlife and Animals in Sumerian:
Authors: Widell Magnus
Published: November 2024

Identifying specific animals in the Sumerian vocabulary often requires careful examination of textual contexts, alongside bioarchaeological data and representations in Sumerian art, as well as insights from linguistic, cross-cultural, ethnographic, and faunal studies. This article supports the notion that the Sumerian bird tu-gur4/8mušen referred to the European turtle dove. Artistic depictions and avifaunal remains confirm the presence of the turtle dove in early Mesopotamia, and references to tu-gur4/8mušen are common in Ur III texts, particularly in Puzriš-Dagan, where it was kept for elite consumption. Turtle doves, unlike other Columbidaespecies, migrate. This article proposes that the seasonal migration of the turtle dove through Iraq in the early autumn is referenced in the Umma month iti dal, which should be understood as the “month of flying (birds).” The seasonal migration of turtle doves was important for the agricultural calendar and the overall economy of the state. Understanding natural events of this kind, and ensuring the correct timing for agricultural tasks would have been essential for maximizing yields, and the planting of the fields—as described in the subsequent Umma month known as the “month of sowing seed” (iti šu-numun)—would commence only after these birds had passed through the region.

The Function of Social Capital in Self-Help Groups as Developmental Platforms
Authors: Jyoti  , Dr. Rinki Bharti
Published: November 2024

Governmental organizations and financial organizations are increasingly using women-led self-help groups (SHGs) as platforms for carrying out development initiatives. The effectiveness and equity of SHGs as platforms for providing livelihoods or health interventions, however, are presently little understood. Though the precise processes have not yet been investigated, social capital is thought to offer a competitive advantage when using SHGs as development platforms. via the analysis of 64 interviews and 6 focus group discussions gathered from an agricultural and behavior change intervention provided via SHGs in eastern India, this research explores the effectiveness and equity of SHGs as platforms for development initiatives. Although SHGs are a potentially effective medium for spreading health messages, we discover that this is mostly contingent on SHG attendance standards, which are strongly correlated with social capital and socioeconomic circumstances. Social capital is crucial between SHGs and the implementing organization, as well as within SHGs. Compared to locations with higher rates of poverty and younger SHGs, those with more established SHGs were able to participate more actively in the intervention due to their increased economic security. Additionally, the former locations accepted more interventions because they had higher norms of reciprocity and trust (social capital) with the implementing organization. It was challenging for SHG members to attend both SHG meetings and health sessions in the later locations due to conflicting demands on their time and a lack of confidence in the implementers. According to our materialist theory of social capital creation, new activities cannot be effectively added to a SHG's agenda until its members have already reaped significant benefits from participation. Furthermore, delivering nutrition messages via SHGs shouldn't take precedence over one-on-one interactions with the community's most vulnerable members

Arquitectas en la Unidad Popular. Colaboración femenina en tiempos de transformación política, cultural y urbana
Authors: Donetch Isabel , Pimentel Francisca
Published: November 2024

Durante el gobierno de la Unidad Popular en Chile (1970-1973), el gobierno impulso un urbanismo mas equitativo y social. Esta visión fue materializada a través de las políticas habitacionales y proyectos públicos por los llamados “Arquitectos de Allende”, un grupo de profesionales, principalmente hombres, partidarios del gobierno. A pesar de la presencia de mujeres arquitectas durante esta época, su importancia ha sido subvalorada y documentada. Este artículo tiene como objetivo revisar el trabajo de mujeres arquitectas durante el gobierno de la Unidad Popular con el objetivo de comprender su rol, impacto, y más importantemente, las redes de colaboración entre ellas. Para ello, se llevo a cabo una investigación de archivo que incluyó, revistas, entrevistas y reportes institucionales para examinar la trayectoria profesional de las arquitectas activas de este periodo. La información recabada se graficó en un diagrama brújula que posiciona a las arquitectas estudiadas dentro de un sistema de redes interdependientes, permitiendo la identificación de puntos convergentes, adyacentes y divergentes entre ellas. Asi, este artículo identifica a un grupo de mujeres cuyo trabajo, compromiso social y redes de colaboración permitieron la creación de proyectos públicos capaces de promover nuevos valores sociales, económicos y urbanos equitativos.

In “The Canon and the Void,” Meltem Gürel and Kathryn Anthony highlight the persistent absence of women architects in the historiography of North American architecture schools, a gap first identified by Karen Kingsley in the 1980s. This lack of representation extends beyond education into professional inequality, rooted in the historical neglect of female contributions to architecture. In response, recent Portuguese-speaking scholarship has begun addressing the roles of women architects in former Portuguese colonial territories in Africa. This presentation focuses on five women—Carlota Quintanilha, Antonieta Jacinto, Maria Emília Caria, Ana Torres, and Assunção Paixão—who played distinct professional roles from the 1950s to the 1970s. These women include forerunners supported by family, experts tackling regional challenges during the colonial wars, and African locals who maintained public works during transitions to independence. The study aims to explore how their presence influenced various actors and agendas during these transformative periods.
Arquitecturas del cuidado y la mujer en la ciudad caribeña: caso de estudio en San Juan, Puerto Rico
Authors: Rivera-Crespo Omayra , Luengo-Duque María Helena
Published: November 2024

El estudio de la mujer y su rol en la ciudad no ha generado una perspectiva teorética de suficiente peso en el Caribe que contribuya a generar guías para el diseño urbano, a pesar de que las mujeres no solo representan la mitad de la población, sino que sus rutinas están relacionadas, en mayor proporción que las rutinas de los hombres, con el cuidado de niños y adultos mayores. En el contexto latinoamericano y caribeño, un gran porcentaje de las familias monoparentales están encabezadas por mujeres, lo que genera responsabilidades que son un gran reto, en especial para las mujeres de escasos ingresos.Por tanto, esta investigación busca identificar la percepción, representación e intervención de la mujer en el diseño de la ciudad, como un tema de género y también de inclusión social y cultural desde un enfoque interseccional. Como caso de estudio se tienen los barrios de Santurce en San Juan, Puerto Rico. La metodología consiste en una búsqueda de archivo y un estudio etnográfico con información proveniente de distintos entornos socioculturales con el fin de contrastar el grado de participación o de no participación de las mujeres en el desarrollo y evolución de la ciudad.
(Re)presenting the Women in Serbian Architecture: The Trajectories of Creativity, Recognition and Memory
Authors: Stupar Aleksandra , Ivanovic Vojvodic Jelena
Published: November 2024

The paper considers the role and the position of women architects in the contemporary Serbian research and practice, focusing on the activities of the Belgrade International Architectural Week (BINA), a unique architectural event established in 2006 by the Association of Belgrade Architects (ABA) and the Belgrade Cultural Centre. Due to a prominent position among the public and the professionals, BINA’s interest in the work of women architects opened some new horizons of perception, enabling the (re)reading of urban space and architectural legacy while highlighting the actual contribution of women in architecture. The visibility of their work in practice and research has especially increased since 2014, through BINA’s workshops, architectural walks, book promotions, exhibitions, interactive round tables, lectures and the presentations of young architectural offices. While preparing these events and studying the available sources, BINA, as well as the participating scholars and practitioners, also identified certain problems related to the poor or almost nonexistent recognition of actual contributions of female architects, especially in project teams. Within the scope of contextual specificities, the conducted activities will be evaluated, while the detected problems and limitations will be considered as the potential triggers of/for professional empowerment of female architects.
En los márgenes. Las historias de mujeres que escriben historias de la arquitectura en Australia y Nueva Zelanda
Authors: De la Vega de León Macarena
Published: November 2024

En esta comunicación se presentan resultados inéditos de un proyecto de investigación que recoge historias orales de historiadores de la arquitectura en Australia y Nueva Zelanda, y se pone el foco en las historias de las siete mujeres entrevistadas. Los encuentros intergeneracionales con mentores, colaboradores y estudiantes han contribuido al desarrollo de sus carreras académicas, desde conversaciones muy cortas con un efecto inimaginable hasta diálogos forjados durante años. En las entrevistas se abordó su participación en la Sociedad de Historiadores de la Arquitectura de Australia y Nueva Zelanda (SAHANZ). La investigación que promueve estas sociedades disciplinares genera materiales que añadir a los planos y documentación de los archivos de arquitectura. En el caso concreto de SAHANZ, recopilar, digitalizar y mantener su legado, que incluye las actas de los congresos anuales y su revista Fabrications, se trata de un esfuerzo impulsado por el trabajo voluntario de sus miembros, incluyendo las entrevistadas. Al presentar fragmentos contextualizados de sus historias a un público fuera de Australia y Nueva Zelanda, el objetivo de esta comunicación es promover la reflexión y que las diversas interpretaciones de sus palabras contribuyan al cambio generacional caracterizado por la precariedad de la academia.
Arquitecturas de lactancia: La mujer en la Gota de Leche
Authors: Molina Ángela
Published: November 2024

A finales del siglo XIX y debido a las elevadas cifras de mortalidad infantil aparecieron en España instituciones conocidas como Gota de Leche que tenían como objetivo paliar este fenómeno mediante el suministro de leche animal tratada a las familias que así lo requerían. Estos centros contaban con las instalaciones necesarias para maternalizar la leche animal y distribuirla, aunque también estaban encargados de involucrar a las madres en el proceso y de fomentar un nuevo sentimiento materno.La elevada mortalidad infantil se encontraba directamente relacionada con el deterioro nacional y la despoblación lo que fomentó que su aparición viniera acompañada de nuevas leyes de protección de la infancia con el fin de mejorar la condición de estos niños que en un futuro serían los encargados de la prosperidad de la nación.Desde la creación de los centros de Gota de Leche en España hasta 1940 la institución gozó de una etapa de gran desarrollo, expandiéndose por toda la península. Fue con el aumento del uso de leches de fórmula comerciales cuando estas instituciones sufrieron una etapa de pérdida de funciones y de declive, adaptando su tipología a otros usos similares hasta llegar finalmente a desaparecer.
Casas compartidas. Contribuciones ocultas en el proyecto del habitar doméstico
Authors: Martínez Duran Anna
Published: November 2024

El proyecto behind.the.scene.women (2019) rescata y visibiliza mujeres que han contribuido con sus acciones a la arquitectura, no siempre desde la propia disciplina, y cuyo trabajo permanece ignorado en los relatos de la historia reciente. Las más ocultas -las que menos rastro dejan- son las que ceden su nombre a la pareja. Sus contribuciones quedan en la sombra, y su obra desaparece de los registros. Entre ellas, proponemos fijar la atención en aquellas que compartieron proyecto y vida en la casa propia. Las casas propias son propuestas radicales, manifiestos, y lugares de experimentación de la vida y la arquitectura (La casa del arquitecto, 2008). Son obras ejemplares, que fueron posibles gracias a la confianza y el conocimiento de ellas, pero cuyo esfuerzo no ha sido reconocido y, en algunos casos, aún se sigue utilizando para el enaltecimiento de la figura única del maestro. Si el registro de las huellas del habitar es complejo por su condición de frágil, efímero y cambiante, más lo será el de sus aportaciones anónimas en estas casas. La comunicación presentará la investigación en curso, su metodología y algunos de los casos de estudio.
Dora Riedel, reconstruyendo la historia de la primera arquitecta chilena
Authors: Jorquera Layla , Larraín Soledad , Jacob Carolina , Espinosa Carolina
Published: November 2024

Las mujeres han sido invisibilizadas de manera sistemática en la historia y, más aún, en la arquitectura. La ausencia de referentes mujeres en campo disciplinar no se debe a la falta de calidad en el trabajo de las arquitectas sino que es el resultado de una persistente organización patriarcal.Esta estructura establece las experiencias masculinas como universal y neutra, dejando de lado aquellas que encarnan las mujeres, y con ello también las diversidades y subjetividades1. Dando relevancia solo a aquellos sucesos que toman lugar en la esfera pública. Es así, como lo personal y cotidiano ha quedado “no contado”, impidiendo una comprensión a cabalidad de los procesos históricos y sus motivaciones. La supuesta historia universal ha dejado fuera de sí las experiencias de la diversidad de sujetos. Se hace necesario entonces construir una historia multi-versal, en la cual las múltiples experiencias personales sean reconocidas y contadas. Este artículo busca indagar la vida detrás de la primera mujer en titularse como arquitecta en Chile, con el fin de comprender sus motivaciones más allá de sus obras.
Fragments of an imaginary dialogue between Eileen Gray e Charlotte Perriand
Authors: Gabrielli Simona
Published: November 2024

This research is part of a long-standing interest in the pioneers of the 20th century through a particular appeal for biographies of personalities that allow us to interpret the character of an era from within.At the beginning of a revolutionary century, in which equal gender rights were far from been recognized, Eileen and Charlotte have been able to overcome all obstacles and find their space of creative expression, taking advantage of their position in a still undetermined territory for architecture.The paper develops the topic presented in the video “Sliding doors”, by the author herself (15 minutes, in Italian with English subtitles), and it has been conceived to answer the question here implicitly announced.The ambition is to transform a dead archive into a living dialogue dynamic that also tells us something about our present. These are also the reasons that led to the screenplay of the video as an effective communication tool.Eileen and Charlotte a century ago lived as isolated figures in a purely male context, far from the idea of a “esprit de corps”. The research path thus lands on a reflection on the female's capacity for sharing and alliance vis-à-vis with the patriarchal power culture in the past, looking to the present and projecting towards the future.
Force of Nature Alina Scholtz and the Empowerment of Women on Mid-Century Landscape Design
Authors: Dębska Michalina Jowita
Published: November 2024

To answer the question of women’s empowerment in mid-century landscape architecture, this essay will focus on the legacy of the “mother founder”1 of Polish landscape architecture, Alina Scholtz admitted for her immense independence and involvement at work.Scholtz was a designer and educator, serving as a professor of landscape architecture at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences. Her diverse portfolio ranged from palace gardens to housing estates and playgrounds. Her realisations were changeable in time, as a living matter of plants, which are led by the sun and water, create an architectural mass and systems of components in the urban landscape.From the beginning, landscape architecture, similarly to interior design, was treated as a2 “decorative” addition to “prime” architecture. Women dominated the discipline. Over the course of her career, Scholtz has worked with many aspiring women architects, landscape architects and urban planners whose names are unknown. Alina Scholtz was an exception to the rule. She was the leader of the landscape architecture team strongly feminised - in the „Zieleń” 3 („Greenery”) studio at the Biuro Odbudowy Stolicy (BOS) . She made significant contributions to the International Federation of Landscape Architects4 and the SARP5 conferences, promoting the value of greenery designs in reconstructing cities after WWII and advocating Poland’s opinions on the subject on a global scale.
