Developing a Portfolio of Negative Emissions Technologies
Authors: Murawczyk Daniela
Published: May 2023

The only way we can achieve the IPCC’s goal of limiting warming to 1.5ºC is through a massive expansion of negative emissions technologies (NETs), chiefly carbon dioxide removal (CDR). To date, point-source carbon capture has been the most widely recognized and deployed form of CDR, but it is limited in its efficacy in achieving negative emissions. Direct air capture (DAC), a newer form of CDR, captures excess CO2 in the lower atmosphere, as opposed to capturing CO2 directly from the emission source. If the captured CO2 is stored or sequestered, the process involved in DAC allows for true negative emissions, as opposed to point-source CDR which can only achieve carbon neutrality at best. The potential for DAC presents significant opportunities for large-scale CDR, but point-source carbon capture will still be essential and applicable in sectors where decarbonization is difficult. As the global community ratchets up decarbonization efforts, a combination of DAC and point-source will prevent even further catastrophic climate change in the future.

Published: May 2023

Nursing educators and students need new competencies and tools for creating and analyzing clinical documentation and big data to maximize value-based reimbursements and data sharing.  Carefully structured and shareable documentation of nursing diagnoses, goals, interventions and outcomes, available in the EHR (electronic health record), may be aggregated and analyzed to provide a foundation for population health, quality improvement and clinical research.  One way to access anonymized clinical data for use in academic and clinical data sharing is via Project NeLL™ (Nurses electronic Learning Laboratory™), an innovative suite of online applications for teaching and practicing nursing data science from the Nell Woodruff Hodgson School of Nursing of Emory University's Center for Data Science.  Emory is collaborating with Rutgers University School of Nursing to teach graduate students using Project NeLL.
Association of physiological stress markers at the emergency department to readmission and death within 90 days: a prospective observational study
Authors: Davidson Lee Ti , Schilling Ulf Martin , Arnqvist Hans J. , Nystrom Fredrik H. , Chisalita Simona I.
Published: May 2023

Background: Predicting the risk of readmission or death in patients at the emergency department (ED) is essential in identifying patients who would benefit the most from interventions. We aimed to explore the prognostic value of mid-regional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM), mid-regional pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP), copeptin, and high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT) to identify patients with a higher risk of readmission and death among patients presenting with chest pain (CP) and/or shortness of breath (SOB) in the ED.

Methods: This single-center prospective observational study included non-critically ill adult patients with a chief complaint of CP and/or SOB who visited the ED at Linköping University Hospital. Baseline data and blood samples were collected, and patients were followed up for 90 days after inclusion. The primary outcome was a composite of readmission and/or death from non-traumatic causes within 90 days of inclusion. Binary logistic regression was used and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves were constructed to determine the prognostic performance for predicting readmission and/or death within 90 days.

Results: A total of 313 patients were included and 64 (20.4%) met the primary endpoint. MR-proADM > 0.75 pmol/L (odds ratio [OR]: 2.361 [95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.031 – 5.407], P = 0.042) and multimorbidity (OR: 2.647 [95% CI: 1.282 – 5.469], P = 0.009) were significantly associated with readmission and/or death within 90 days. MR-proADM increased predictive value in the ROC analysis to age, sex, and multimorbidity (P = 0.006).

Conclusions: In non-critically ill patients with CP and/or SOB in the ED, MR-proADM and multimorbidity may be helpful for the prediction of the risk of readmission and/or death within 90 days.

Published: May 2023

A pesquisa articula a experiência vivida no Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à docência, no Centro de Referência em Educação Infantil Realengo, com os estudos que reforçam a essencialidade de uma educação antirracista, desde a infância. A abordagem metodológica utilizada foi a pesquisa-formação e a conversa, a fim de compartilhar caminhos possíveis para a construção de práticas pedagógicas que valorizem a diversidade. Compreende-se que o Brasil é marcado por uma história de colonização e violência contra as populações negras. A educação, que não é apartada da sociedade, possui um papel essencial na desconstrução de estereótipos e preconceitos. Dessa forma, acreditamos que os processos educativos e de formação que dialoguem com a luta antirracista possibilitam o fortalecimento de uma sociedade mais justa.
Rasuras e perspectivas macumbísticas para uma educação infantil inclusiva e antirracista
Authors: Lima Norma Silvia Trindade , Lima Mariana Semião de
Published: May 2023

O ensaio propõe pensar a educação infantil como um território-terreiro formativo privilegiado, reconhecendo como urgente e necessária a problematização do racismo epistêmico no curso da geopolítica do conhecimento colonial e seus processos de colonialidade nos âmbitos do saber, do ser e do poder. Como sujeitos da experiência em diálogos com o pensamento decolonial e autores contemporâneos que discutem brasilidades, ponderamos que as epistemes macumbísticas, compreendidas como um feixe múltiplo de práticas culturais afrodiaspóricas, como as capoeiras e os candomblés, podem, como potências analíticas, mobilizar e ampliar as fronteiras e gramáticas formativas de novas gerações, na perspectiva inclusiva e antirracista, em consonância com as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para a Educação Infantil e com a Lei 10.639/2003
Racismo e o lugar do brincar: Negrinha de Monteiro Lobato (1920)
Authors: Muleka Mwewa Christian , Bastos de Oliveira Anailta , Caetano da Silva Angélica
Published: May 2023

A partir de uma pesquisa qualitativa de cunho documental, com utilização da bibliografia como instrumento, toma-se como campo o conto Negrinha, obra de Monteiro Lobato (1920). O conto tem como tema central o racismo, mas também traz como plano de fundo as relações no contexto familiar e, de alguma forma, as relações trabalhistas pós-abolição. Porém, toma-se como objeto de análise “o brincar” como ponto de fuga e móbil para o viver da personagem principal do conto, Negrinha. A partir da análise desse aspecto, alicerçados em referenciais teóricos das ciências sociais, pode-se dizer que “o brincar”, no conto, figura como uma instância de afirmação da vida sem o qual a vida não se justificaria.

Arguments for a Theatre
Authors: Barker Howard
Published: May 2023

This new edition of Barker’s seminal text Arguments for a Theatre outlines the theory and practice of his ‘Theatre of Catastrophe’. Author of over thirty plays, Howard Barker has long been an implacable foe of the liberal British establishment, and champion of radical theatre world-wide. His best-known plays are The Castle, Scenes from an Execution and The Possibilities. All his plays are emotionally highly charged, intellectually stimulating and have no truck with the theatrical conventions of what he terms the ‘Establishment Theatre’. These fragments, essays, thoughts and poems on the nature of theatre likewise reject the constraints of ‘objective’ academic theatre criticism. Rather they explore the collision (and collusion) of intellect and artistry in the creative act. This book is more than a collection of essays: it is a cultural manifesto.

Published: May 2023

Introduction

The current study evaluated the effect of obesity on neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in pregnant women who were administered ACSs due to the risk of preterm birth and delivered before 34 weeks of gestation.

Material and methods

In this retrospective study, 414 pregnant women who had a singleton pregnancy, were aged 18–40 years, and received two doses of ACS 24 h apart administered between 23+0/7 and 33+5/7 gestation weeks due to the risk of a preterm birth were included. For maximum fetal effect, those who completed the 48-hour steroid treatment and delivered before 34 weeks of gestation were divided into three groups according to BMI at ACS administration.

Results

Gestational age at ACS administration and gestational age at delivery were similar among groups.. Neonatal RDS occurred in 17 (18.6%) newborns in the normal weight group, 40 (17.1%) newborns in the overweight group, and 23 (25.5%) newborns in the obese group. After adjusting for independent effects from maternal age, gestational age at ACS administration, gestational age at delivery, emergency cesarean delivery, fetal birth weight, and fetal gender, we found that RDS rates were significantly higher in the obese group.

Conclusions

Our results suggest that maternal obesity reduces the effects of ACS and that RDS rates are higher in neonates born before 34 weeks of gestation to obese mothers to whom ACS has been administered.Therefore, pregnant women who have a high BMI and who are at risk of preterm birth are more likely to require an adjustment in ACS dosing.
Phytochemical test of ketapang leaf (Terminalia catappa) with age variation and its application with EM4 on the growth of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

Published: May 2023

Tilapia is a much-loved source of animal protein. The success of tilapia production is characterized by optimal fish growth. The process of growing tilapia has several problems including water quality. Fluctuating water quality causes fish to be easily stressed and susceptible to attack by pathogenic bacteria. Ketapang leaves have antibacterial properties because they contain metabolites. This research was conducted to determine the content of active compounds from variations in the age of ketapang leaves including young, old, and dry ages and their effect with EM4 on the growth and survival of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 3 replications. Phytochemical tests on three types of ketapang leaves showed that dried ketapang leaves contained more metabolites, namely alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins and phenols. Based on the statistic analysis (ANOVA) showed that variations in each control treatment, young, old, and dry ketapang leaves had a significant effect on the absolute length growth and growth rate (SGR), but had no significant effect on the absolute weight and survival (SR) of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). However, from the three age variations of ketapang leaves, it was found that dry ketapang leaves were the best species for growing tilapia.

This study aimed to determine the inhibitory power of the growth of Vibrio alginolyticus bacteria, phytochemicals, and the effectiveness of Curcuma rhizome extract against the prevention of Vibrio alginolyticus infection in white snapper. The research was conducted in January - July 2022 at Malikussaleh University. The research method consists of the preparation of curcuma extract, preparation of Vibrio alginolyticus bacteria, inhibition zone test, preparation of test biota, application of Curcuma extract through immersion in fish, challenge test of Vibrio alginolyticus, and fish rearing. The research design used was a Complete Randomized Design (RAL)-Non-Factorial. The study consisted of 2 stages, namely (1) antibacterial test of rhizome extract against Vibrio alginolyticus, with the treatment of aromatic ginger, Curcuma, zingiber rhizome extracts at doses of A (60%), B (80%), and C (100%), respectively.  The results showed that Curcuma rhizome extract is the best. The results of phytochemical tests showed that the Curcuma rhizome plant was positive for flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, saponins, terpenoids, and phenolics, but negative for steroid compounds. So continued the Phase 2 study with the aim of testing the effectiveness of temulawak rhizome extract at doses: A (70%), B (80%), C (90%), and D (100%). The results of the phase 2 study showed that the most effective concentration in inhibiting the growth of Vibrio alginolyticus bacteria is temulawak rhizomes with a concentration of 100%. Rated survival rate 86.67%), duration of healing (24 hours 28 minutes), and percentage of recovery from white snapper (86.7%).

Clams are aquatic biota that do not have a spine, belonging to the phylum Molluscs class Bivalvia. This study aims to determine the density, morphomteric differences of S. woodiana clams based on depth. The sampling technique used Purposive sampling method, with 1x1 meter plot and repetition 3 times. Data collection was carried out in July 2022 until completion. The results showed that the highest density of S. woodiana clams was found at a depth of 0-50 cm with an average density of 29.3 individuals/meter. Small size clams were dominantly found at a depth of 0-50 cm with a percentage reaching 97.92%, 54.46% of medium size clams were found at a depth of 50-100 cm, while 83.33% of large size clams were found at a depth of 100-150 cm. Anova test results showed significant differences with a 95% confidence interval. At a depth of 100-150 cm, the weight value of S. woodiana clams was 24.87 ± 3.36 grams, shell length 43.73 ± 1.21 cm, shell width 38.73 ± 1.76 cm, and umbo height 22.83 ± 0.76 cm. The results of this study can be concluded that the shallower the waters, the higher the density of shells, but the large size of the shells, the smaller the density.
Survey on the Attitudes Towards and Perception of Reproducibility and Replicability in Sports and Exercise Science
Authors: Murphy Jennifer , Mesquida Cristian , Warne Joe
Published: May 2023

There are formal calls for increased reproducibility and replicability in sports and exercise science, yet there is minimal information on the overall knowledge of these concepts at a field-wide level. Therefore, we conducted a survey on the attitudes and perceptions of sports and exercise science researchers towards reproducibility and replicability. Descriptive statistics (e.g., proportion of responses), and thematic analysis, were utilized to characterize the responses. Of the 511 respondents, 42% (n = 217) believe there is a significant crisis of reproducibility or replicability in sports and exercise science while 36% (n = 182) believe there is a slight crisis. 3% (n = 15) of respondents believe there is no crisis while 19% (n = 95) did not know. Four themes were generated in the thematic analysis: the research and publishing culture, educational barriers to research integrity, research responsibility to ensure reproducibility and replicability, and current practices facilitating reproducibility and replicability. Researchers believe that engaging in open science can be detrimental to career opportunities due to lack of incentives. They also feel journals are a barrier to reproducible and replicable research due to high publication charges and a focus on novelty. Statistical expertise was identified as a key factor for improving reproducibility and replicability in the future, particularly, a better understanding of study design and different statistical techniques. Statistical education should be prioritised for early career researchers which could positively affect publication and peer review. Researchers must accept responsibility for reproducibility and replicability with thorough project design, appropriate planning of analyses, and transparent reporting practices.

testimonio de la iglesia en América Latina
Authors: Sobrino Jon
Published: May 2023

Este artículo es la reelaboración de una ponencia presentada en el IV Congreso Internacional Ecuménico de Teología celebrado en Sao Paulo, Brasil, del 20 de febrero al 2 de marzo de 1980. Está escrito, por lo tanto, con anterioridad al martirio de Mons. Romero, cuya persona y obra ejemplifican a la perfección lo que se pretende decir en este artículo.
En las situaciones límite en que vive la Iglesia en varios países centroamericanos se trata de analizar qué es lo que propiamente está haciendo la Iglesia fiel a Medellín y Puebla, cuál es razón la última de su actuación en una situación de vida o muerte. En este sentido hablamos de "testimonio" de la Iglesia.
La Iglesia está dando en primer lugar testimonio de la vida justa, lo cual a su vez exige el testimonio de su propia santidad., que se concretiza en dar de su propia vida y aun su propia vida. Esto responde a las dos características más típicas de la nueva forma de ser Iglesia: la promoción de la liberación y la persecución martirial que le sobreviene. El testimonio en favor de la vida justa comienza a los niveles primarios de la vida, a través de lo cual la Iglesia da testimonio también de la vida en plenitud.
En ese testimonio la Iglesia recupera y concretiza lo fundamental de su fe en el misterio de Dios y del seguimiento de Jesús. Su encarnación en la historia real, también en lo que tiene de conflictivo, como en el caso de El Salvador, y de novedoso, como en el caso de Nicaragua, es la condición de mantener su identidad y trascendente específica de Iglesia.

perspectivas del desarrollo agropecuario en relación con la tenencia de la tierra
Authors: Arias Peñate Salvador
Published: May 2023

El presente artículo tiene especial relevancia, dado que su autor fue el Subsecretario del Ministerio de Agricultura y Ganadería, y encargado de la Cartera, en el momento de intentarse realizar la Transformación Agraria de 1976. La información que acompaña al trabajo, tanto en el texto como en los cuadros, y la autoridad del autor, son elementos muy valiosos.

Después de describir la historia agrícola de El Salvador en el período de 1960-78, en todos los rubros de la producción y del financiamiento, pasa a caracterizar el modelo dual implantado en la producción agrícola nacional: "exportación subsistencia'', lo que deriva en sobreexplotación irracional de los suelos y en una aceleración del proceso de desnutrición de la población.

El estudio de la tenencia de la tierra y de las perspectivas de un desarrollo agropecuario le lleva a la inevitable conclusión de la necesidad de una Reforma Agraria. Sin embargo, analizando las Reformas introducidas por el actual gobierno, en lo agrario, en lo financiero y en el comercio exterior, no encuentra en ellas solución a los problemas del agro y del país.

Es así cómo se decide a ofrecer una estrategia alternativa para el desarrollo del sector agropecuario, sentada en bases muy distintas, más complejas y complexivas.

Crucial Factor Affecting Generation Y’s commitment to the Malaysian IT sector: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Sherief Sultan Rehman , Ramamoorthy Jogeswari A / P
Published: May 2023

Today, a company's success or failure is determined more by its employees than by any other factor, including natural resources, technology, or economies of scale, all of which can be replicated with rel-ative ease. Generation Y employees are sometimes referred to as the "next generation of workers," yet contrary to popular belief, several sources claim that this group is less devoted to remaining with a single employer than its predecessors. The increasing incidence of staff turnover has become an urgent problem. The purpose of this research is to determine what factors influence Gen Y workers in Malay-sia's IT sector to remain loyal to their employers over time. Organizational justice, managerial support, job satisfaction, and work-life balance were the independent variables examined, and their effects on the dependent variable, job satisfaction, were calculated (organizational commitment). It was easy to choose a sample of 195 responders from among the IT professionals who work for Selangor-based businesses. Having a positive influence on organizational commitment were factors including distribu-tive and procedural justice, job satisfaction, and work-life balance. Understanding the causes of em-ployees' dedication to the company is essential. Organizations may benefit greatly from the study's findings by tailoring their strategy, pay plans, management styles, and human resource procedures to the preferences of Generation Y workers, who are more likely to be committed to their employers as a result. The results, taken as a whole, show that the factors of organizational justice, managerial support, job happiness, and work-life balance are significantly influential in shaping the organizational commit-ment of Generation Y workers in the IT sector of Malaysia.

Gizi merupakan salah satu faktor utama penentu kualitas hidup dan sumber daya manusia. Remaja adalah kelompok yang rentan terhadap masalah gizi. Masalah gizi pada remaja dikarenakan perilaku gizi yang tidak seimbangan antara konsumsi gizi dengan kecukupan gizi yang dibutuhkan. Remaja yang aktif dan banyak melakukan aktivitas memerlukan asupan energi dan protein yang besar dibandingkan dengan remaja yang kurang aktif. Protein mempunyai fungsi khas yaitu untuk memelihara dan membagun sel-sel serta untuk jarigan tubuh makhluk hidup. Terpenuhinya asupan protein dengan benar pada remaja akan mempengaruhi status gizi dan proses pertumbuhannya. Pemenuhan gizi pada anak remaja tidak terlepas untuk anak yang menjalani masa hukuman di Lembaga Pembinaan Khusus Anak (LPKA). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui hubungan asupan protein dengan status gizi di LPKA Klas I Kupang. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian analitik observasional dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Besar sampel adalah 20 orang dengan teknik pengambilan sampel Purposive sampling. Data diperoleh dengan pengisian kuesioner dan penimbangan makanan. Analisis data dilakukan dengan uji korelasi Spearman. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa  variabel asupan protein (p= 0,561) tidak terdapat hubungan  yang signifikan dengan variabel status gizi. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa variabel asupan protein tidak memiliki hubungan dengan status gizi di LPKA Klas I Kupang.

O artigo apresenta parte dos resultados da nossa pesquisa de mestrado na qual analisamos os impasses da regulação do segmento de vídeo sob demanda no Brasil. Por meio de um panorama histórico, transitamos pelo século XX e chegamos às primeiras décadas do século XXI, percebendo o quanto este modo de acumulação desorganiza antigas questões do audiovisual brasileiro, obrigando-o a repensar suas estratégias de sobrevivência entre um Estado neoliberal e o capitalismo digital. Também foi necessário nos debruçarmos em autores que analisaram problemas estruturais do Brasil, principalmente, Celso Furtado e Florestan Fernandes, para compreendermos que subdesenvolvimento, dependência cultural, desigualdades sociais são inerentes à formação do país e determinantes da sua forma de inserção no mercado internacional, inclusive no que diz respeito ao setor audiovisual.
The Rock Garden: campus-based geological field skills training improves student confidence in real-world field work
Authors: Wong Hearing Thomas W. , Dewaele Stijn , Albers Stijn , De Weirdt Julie , De Batist Marc
Published: May 2023

Abstract. The Rock Garden is a new on-campus field skills training resource at Ghent University, developed to increase the accessibility of and opportunities for students’ geological field skills training. Developing specific field skills is integral to geoscience education and is typically concentrated into whole-day or longer field courses. These field courses have exceptional educational value as they draw together multiple strands of classroom theory and practical laboratory learning. However, field courses are expensive and time-intensive to run, and can present physical, financial, and cultural barriers to accessing geoscience education. Moreover, the relative infrequency of field courses over a degree programme means that key skills go unused for long intervals and students can lose confidence in their application of these skills. To tackle the inaccessibility of field skills training, made more pronounced in light of the coronavirus pandemic, we built the Rock Garden: an artificial geological mapping training area that emulates a real-world mapping exercise in Belgium. We have integrated the Rock Garden into our geological mapping training courses and have used it in partial mitigation of coronavirus travel restrictions. Using the Rock Garden as a refresher exercise before a real-world geological mapping exercise increased students’ confidence in their field skills, and students whose education was disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic produced work of a similar quality to students from pre-pandemic cohorts. Developing a campus-based resource makes field training locally accessible, giving students more opportunities to practice their field skills and, consequently, more confidence in their abilities.

Abstract. Hydrological modelling of small mountainous catchments is particularly challenging because of the high spatio-temporal resolution required for the meteorological forcings. In-situ measurements of precipitation are typically scarce in these remote areas, particularly at high elevations. Precipitation reanalyses propose different alternative forcings for the simulation of streamflow using hydrological models. In this paper, we evaluate the performances of two hydrological models representing some of the key processes for small mountainous catchments, using different meteorological products with a fine spatial and temporal resolution. The evaluation is performed on 55 small catchments of the Northern French Alps. While the simulated streamflows are adequately reproduced for most of the configurations, these evaluations emphasize the added value of radar measurements, in particular for the reproduction of flood events. However, these better performances are only obtained because the hydrological models correct the underestimations of accumulated amounts (e.g. annual) from the radar data in high-elevation areas.

Abstract. This paper investigates different actuator sector model implementation alternatives and how they compare to actuator line results. The velocity sampling method, tip correction, and time step are considered. A good agreement is seen between the line and sector model in the rotor plane and the wake flow. Using the sector model, it was possible to reduce the computational time by 75 % compared to actuator line model as it is possible to run the simulation with a larger time step without compromising the accuracy considerably. The results suggest that the proposed velocity sampling method produces the closest results to the line model with different tip speed ratios. Moreover, the vortex-based tip correction applied to the sector model results in the lowest error values, among the considered methods, to correct the radial load distributions. Also, it is seen that reducing the time step compared to the one used for actuator disk/sector does not provide an advantage considering the increased computational time.

Warm-up protocols with high intensities before continuous running provide potential benefits for middle-distance runners. Nevertheless, the effect of high-intensity warm-ups on long-distance runners remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to verify the effect of a high-intensity warm-up protocol on 5000 m performance in trained runners. Thirteen male runners (34 ± 10 years, 62 ± 6 kg, 62.7 ± 5.5 ml/kg/min) performed two 5000 m time trials, preceded by two different warm-ups. One high-intensity warm up (HIWU: 1x 500 m (70% of the running intensity) + 3x 250 m (100% of the running intensity) and one low-intensity warm up (LIWU: 1x 500 m (70% of the running intensity) + 3x 250 m (70% of the running intensity)), where the running intensities were calculated using the results obtained in the Cooper test. Physiological and metabolic responses, and endurance running performance parameters, were evaluated by the Counter Movement Jump (CMJ), running rating of perceived exertion (RPE), blood lactate concentration (BLa), and performance running. Total time for the 5000 m was lower using HIWU when compared to LIWU (1141.4 ± 110.4 s vs. 1147.8 ± 111.0 s; p = 0.03; Hedges' g = 0.66). The HIWU warm-up led to an improvement in pacing strategy during the time trial. After warm-up protocols, the performance on the CMJ was improved only when applying HIWU (p = 0.008). Post warm-up BLa was significantly higher for HIWU vs. LIWU (3.5 ± 1.0 mmol·L-1 vs. 2.3 ± 1.0 mmol·L-1; p = 0.02), with similar behavior for the RPE (p = 0.002), internal load of the session (p = 0.03). The study showed that a high-intensity warm-up protocol can improve performance in the 5000 m in trained endurance runners.

Authors: Ma Yujing
Published: May 2023

La investigación sobre el paisaje lingüístico urbano se ha extendido por todo el mundo con distintos enfoques y desde diversas perspectivas. En el presente trabajo se expone una breve introducción sobre el desarrollo de la teoría del paisaje lingüístico y su relación con la Sociolingüística. El estudio se sitúa en una ciudad china bajo el contexto de la expansión del coronavirus para poder observar la influencia de las actualidades sociales en el paisaje lingüístico urbano. Mediante los análisis sincrónicos y diacrónicos de los signos acerca de la pandemia, se ponen de manifiesto las nuevas modalidades que obtienen, el desarrollo y aplicación de las nuevas tecnologías en la sociedad y las medidas tomadas por el gobierno chino frente a la emergencia sanitaria. Apoyada en estos descubrimientos, se llega la conclusión de que el paisaje lingüístico se vincula estrechamente a la situación social actual y puede funcionar como un indicador de ella.
La fonética forense: qué es y cuáles son sus principales áreas de aplicación
Authors: San Segundo Fernández Eugenia
Published: May 2023

Este trabajo revisa de manera crítica el ámbito de la lingüística aplicada conocido como fonética forense. Desde el propio nombre de esta disciplina, existen algunas controversias terminológicas, no solo acerca de cómo referirse a esta rama del saber, sino también sobre cuáles son –y cómo denominar–  sus principales campos de actuación. Gracias a una pormenorizada revisión bibliográfica, describimos las cinco grandes áreas de aplicación de la fonética forense, haciendo énfasis en desmitificar posibles ideas erróneas sobre el alcance de esta disciplina. Asimismo, se ha hecho un esfuerzo por presentar los resultados de las investigaciones más recientes, sobre todo en el ámbito de la comparación forense de hablantes, que es la tarea más conocida y encargada con más frecuencia al perito forense. Para esta subárea nos centraremos en explicar las aproximaciones metodológicas actuales, así como los parámetros fonéticos más utilizados.

Por último, se presentan los primeros resultados de un análisis conjunto, realizado dentro del marco del proyecto Preseea, en dos variedades del español que contrastan en sus patrones de realización de este segmento: Vallecas, una variedad conservadora que presenta índices relativamente altos de aspiración favorecidos por determinados grupos sociales y Málaga, una variedad innovadora en la que la aspiración está determinada, principalmente, por factores internos.
Changes for a Better Health and a Better Nation
Authors: Strelzer Samantha
Published: May 2023

Since decentralization of Spanish government, questions have remained as to developing policy that effectively impacts both regional and national population. Spain has developed an efficient socialized healthcare program. Due to the decentralization process, however, certain regions of Spain have developed far more advanced policy mechanisms. In particular, Catalonia steps outside the traditional rolls of government oversight to forecast visionary policy and policy-making techniques. Amidst the tug of war between willingness and resistance to implement healthcare policies that have a dedicated impact on improving the population health and healthcare, Catalonia employs original thinking and innovation in policy using the Health in All Policies (HiAP) model to create comprehensive strategies. By integrating health into every policy put forth, Catalonia ensures decision-making that prioritizes citizen health first and foremost. When all shareholders are on the same plane, better conversations can be facilitated to better avoid potential issues. Health, as this policy paper explains, is aspect of life that interweaves all other socioeconomic factors. Policy changes must be introduced to improve communication and coordination amongst regions and on a national level, thereby introducing horizontal, collaborative partnerships. The accountability that exists as a main tenet of HiAP limits the presence of the free rider issue in government at all levels. This paper demonstrates the needed nuanced conversations that compel policy-makers to work together to further advance effective efficiency in socialized medicine.
Novel Community Participatory Approach to Violence Intervention Program for Latino Youth

Firearm violence is heavily prominent in large urban cities. Upon closer inspection, a pattern becomes evident whereby violence clusters in marginalized minority populations. In fact, gun violence is the leading cause of death of Hispanic youth aged 15 to 29 in the United States[6].  Unfortunately, many current, existing intervention programs lack the cultural competencies needed to engage directly with impacted communities. This article highlights a novel community participatory collaborative approach for violence intervention. Collaborating with an established program, the VOICE (Violence Outreach Intervention and Community Education) Program, youth from the greater Essex County area participated in gun violence awareness sessions. Activities included virtual education workshops, in-person teaching sessions, and local community engagement activities. The program shows how community engagement, meeting students at where they are, could help us create awareness in how to de-escalate violence. This participatory approach could be an innovative way to break the cycle of violence of our youth, especially Latinos.
