Authors: Flassy Dance Yulian
Published: October 2022

In the implementation of special autonomy, there are crucial actual conditions, with the stipulation of 2% of the general allocation fund ending, the central authority for regional expansion, the establishment of a special autonomous body without involving the Papuan People's Assembly and the Papua Regional Representative Council, new regional autonomy funds and people's welfare is still not yet involved. in accordance with the objectives of the effective implementation of West Papua's special autonomy.This study uses the Convergent Parallel Mixed Methods research design, explained by binomial logit analysis. The sample used is 114 respondents, using stratified random sampling method. The results of his research that the implementation of West Papua's special autonomy based on the political-legal-economic aspects, socio-cultural aspects, and monitoring-evaluation aspects are still not effective, it can be accepted that by strengthening the political-legal-economic, socio-cultural, and in the field of monitoring-evaluation, the implementation of special autonomy will be more effective. Meanwhile, the implementation of special autonomy is due to factors from the central and regional governments as factors that have not been effective in the implementation of special autonomy so that by strengthening central and regional administrators, the implementation of special autonomy will be more effective.The discovery of theories related to the factors that affect the effectiveness of the implementation of West Papua's special autonomy, consists of three aspects, namely: political-legal-economic aspects; socio-cultural aspects; and aspects of monitoring-evaluation. These three aspects must go hand in hand so that the implementation of special autonomy can be even more effective. The findings of the model, namely the functional model, aspects and indicators that affect the implementation of special autonomy; and a model of the structure of a special agency as a working group for the implementation of special autonomy.

The early molecular identification of strains of Plasmodium vivax that have a worse prognosis is important to stratify the risk of complications and choice of conduct made by medical teams. Thus, the aim of the present study was to associate the presence of polymorphisms in the pvmdr-1 and pvcrt-o resistance genes of P. vivax in patients with better or worse prognosis. This cross-sectional epidemiological study was conducted based on data obtained from the records of 120 patients diagnosed with malaria in the Brazilian Amazon. The T958M and F1076L mutations of the pvmdr-1 gene had a frequency of 3.3 and 4.2%, respectively, and primo-infected patients had a 17 times greater chance of being infected with protozoa with the T958M mutation compared to patients with previous episodes. Regarding pvcrt-o, the C393T and T786C polymorphisms had a frequency of 14.2 and 3.3%, respectively, and self-declared white patients had a 3.1 times greater chance of being infected with protozoa with the C393T polymorphism. In addition, patients with this pvcrt-o polymorphism had lower concentrations of C-reactive protein, indicating a better prognosis. These data present clues of genetic indicators useful for assessing the virulence of the parasite and the prognosis of patients with vivax malaria.

"RECEBER E TRATAR CARINHOSAMENTE": A CRECHE EMÍLIA DE JESUS COSTA NA ASSISTÊNCIA À INFÂNCIA EM CONTEXTO OPERÁRIO NO PORTUGAL DO INÍCIO DO SÉCULO XX
Authors: Pereira Catarina Isabel Nogueira Caseiro
Published: October 2022

Um balanço da literatura portuguesa é revelador das condições de pobreza e de insalubridade em que grande parte da população vivia na viragem do século XIX para o século XX, num contexto de aumento demográfico, concentração urbana e industrialização em novos modelos organizativos. De entre os grupos sociais, a população operária, entre a qual se encontravam mulheres trabalhadoras, enfrentava vários desafios à sua sobrevivência, pela vulnerabilidade que experienciava. A beneficência e a caridade, ligadas à prática religiosa e à salvação da alma, sendo herdeiras de séculos anteriores, continuam presentes no século XIX e XX. No lugar das Devesas, na freguesia de Santa Marinha, no coração de Vila Nova de Gaia (Norte de Portugal), Emília de Jesus Costa, esposa de um industrial da cerâmica da zona – António Almeida da Costa –, proprietária do Complexo Industrial da Fábrica de Cerâmica e de Fundição das Devesas, decidiu investir a sua herança na edificação de uma creche no cuidado da infância, procurando responder às necessidades da mão-de-obra que integrava a sua unidade industrial. A partir da consulta de diferentes fontes de informação foi possível reconstruir as dinâmicas de funcionamento e o dia-a-dia da creche, bem como traçar o perfil sociodemográfico das crianças, seres humanos que têm merecido menos atenção na historiografia portuguesa.

Authors: Rodrigues de Lima Ricardo , Da Silva Fredson Pereira
Published: October 2022

Azadirachta indica, popularmente conhecida como nim ou margosa, pertence à família Meliaceae, tendo propriedades inseticidas e pesticidas, sendo que outros estudos comprovam sua eficácia como antifúngico, anti-inflamatório, cicatrizante, antiviral, dentre outras atividades. O estudo para o desenvolvimento de fitoterápicos está em ascensão devido a diversos fatores, tais como resistência bacteriana frente aos antibióticos comumente utilizados pelo seu uso indiscriminado, pelas possíveis reações adversas causadas por eles, pela presença de infinidade de compostos ativos que possuem atividade farmacológica desejável em determinadas plantas. A pesquisa bibliográfica foi conduzida para identificar os artigos publicados entre os anos 2001 e 2021, sobre a utilização do Nim (Azadirachta indica) como inseticida natural e no controle de pragas, e sobre a fitoquímica do Nim. Conforme se verificou nesta revisão, a planta Nim (Azadirachta indica) vem se tornando importante para a área medicinal, agrícola e pecuária, sendo há séculos utilizada pelo povo indiano e em algumas décadas pelo mundo ocidental. A planta tem importância também para o meio ambiente, trazendo benefícios como o combate à desertificação e desmatamento, demonstrando alta taxa de fotossíntese, liberando bastante oxigênio.

State-Dependent Weighting in Fuzzy Signatures Optimizing Material Handling Management Problems
Authors: Ferenczi Balazs , Koczy Laszlo T. , Lilik Ferenc
Published: October 2022

The scheduling of jobs in functional production systems (Job shop scheduling) is a frequently researched area of the literature. However, the management of material handling in functional production systems receives little attention. Publications in connection with that can scarcely be found, even though in the case of small and medium-sized companies the problem is definitely topical. For them, solving this problem can mean an opportunity for improvement. This paper presents an expert knowledge-based method that contains novelties and uses fuzzy signatures to solve this problem. The performance of the proposed method is compared with the performance of other methods which are common in the industry or in the literature (Mixed Integer Linear Programming, priority dispatch rules, human decisions). We present the construction of the fuzzy signature-based method, the aggregations used and as something novel, the method to select the proper weights for the state-dependent dynamic weighting.

Authors: Pekmez K. , Kaplan M. , Çağırgan A.A. , Arslan F. , Kafa B. , Kalaycı G.
Published: October 2022

Lymphocystis disease is a common, chronic and benign infection of fish. The disease has a worldwide distribution and has been reported from more than 125 marine and freshwater sites. In this study, molecular diagnosis and characterisation of Lymphocystis Disease Virus were performed from samples collected from sea bream fry showing lymphocystis disease symptoms in a farm located in the Aegean Sea. As a result of the phylogenetic analysis, the virus was classified as genotype VII. According to the similarity of nucleotide sequence, SA1.ETun.2011 virus reported from Tunisia was the closest related virus. The rate of amino acid substitution between genotypes was quite high, while amongst the genotype VII isolates substitution rates were low. When the similarity between the genotypes was investigated using the nucleotide sequences, the closest and most distant genotypes to the genotype VII were V and I, respectively.

Published: October 2022

Although the discovery of the 125 GeV Higgs boson confirms the Higgs mechanism of the Standard Model (SM), many theories beyond the SM have been introduced to address several phenomena yet to be explained by the SM. For instance, the 2-Higgs Doublet Models is the simplest extension of the SM Higgs sector and predicting the existence of additional Higgs bosons at different states. The aim of this study is to search for machine learning (ML) algorithms which have been widely used in High Energy Physics. This will improve the sensitivity of the search for BSM Higgs bosons produced in association with a bottom quark () that then decays into a pair of bottom quarks (); the predominant decay channel of the Higgs boson, though, buried by a large multi-jet background process. In this study, we train 2 different ML algorithms: Tree-based models and Neural Networks, to classify signal and background events collected by the Compact Muon Solenoid detector from proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV. The evaluation metrics are calculated to provide classification efficiencies from different models. The results show that the classification of signal and background processes can be improved using ML techniques. Neural Networks reported the highest AUC score of 0.951 which is comparable with Adaptive Boosting model, while Decision Trees (DTs) and Random Forest models slightly underperformed by 2 - 3 %. We therefore can make use of the trained models as signal vs background classifiers to perform further statistical analysis searches for BSM Higgs bosons.

Published: October 2022

Being overweight and obese is a fundamental health problem worldwide and is associated with many diseases. The ketogenic diet (KD) includes high fat and moderate protein, with the daily consumption of carbohydrates amounting to less than 10 % daily intake. KD is a popular choice for weight loss but has benefited many diseases, such as metabolic diseases and neurodegenerative disorders. Nonetheless, the effect of KD on overweight but healthy individuals is limited. Therefore, the objectives of the present study were to evaluate the effects of the KD program on the physical, blood biochemistry, hematological and immunological status of overweight, healthy individuals. The 9 overweight Thai women with body mass index (BMI) values over 25 kg/m2 participated in a self-conduct KD program for 28 days. The mean age of the group was 28.44 years. With 28-days of KD, a significant (p < 0.01) increase in blood ketone confirmed the ketosis status of participants. The mean blood ketone concentration increased from 0.41 ± 0.061 to 1.22 ± 0.267 mmol/L. Most of the participants’ physical parameters, such as body mass index (BMI), body weight, chest circumferences, hip circumferences, and arm circumferences, significantly decreased after 28-days of KD. Furthermore, the biochemistry indices (total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL-C, and HDL-C) did not significantly differ from the baseline. However, fasting blood sugar decreased (p < 0.01) from 88.00 ± 1.014 to 83.78 ± 1.289 mg/dL. KD did not influence all hematological and immunological indices such as nitric oxide (NO) production (unstimulated and in 2.5 µg/mL PHA stimulation) and T cell subpopulations. Nonetheless, it increased NO production in 5 µg/mL PHA stimulation and mononuclear cell proliferation capacity (proliferation index). The data revealed that short-term KD in this study decreased participants’ physical body compositions and blood glucose levels. Moreover, the immune status after KD proved the immunomodulation effect of KD.
HIGHLIGHTS

Thai overweight subjects whose self-conducted 28-days ketogenic diet demonstrated

Significantly decreased the bodyweight
Significantly decreased the body compositions
Significantly decreased blood sugar level.
Significantly affected immune systems by increasing immune cell proliferation capacity and responding to the non-specific stimulator

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
Certain predictors of coping with stress in adolescents
Authors: Napora Elżbieta , Cabanová Vlasta , Kolařikova Marta
Published: October 2022

Background

The purpose of the study was to search for variables that show a relationship with coping with stress as well as to search for the possibility of predicting a stress coping mechanism in the studied adolescents. Two questions were formulated in the study: Are mental resilience and communication with peers significant predictors of coping with stress in the studied group? To what extent will the analysed predictors explain individual strategies to cope with stress?

Participants and procedure

The study involved three tools: the Resilience Measurement Scale (RMS-18), the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations Questionnaire (CISS), and the Scale of Communication of Adolescents with Peers (SCAP). The study was carried out on a randomly selected group of 546 adolescents. Due to the pandemic conditions prevailing at that time, the online form of data collection was used. Study tools along with the record were placed on the LimeSurvey platform, and then posted via Facebook on groups for adolescents, not only in secondary schools. Each subject could withdraw at any time without any negative consequences. The collected questionnaires are part of a larger empirical project.

Results

The study results showed that open communication with peers as well as general resilience and the resilience factor opti-mistic attitude and energy had a positive relationship.

Conclusions

The general conclusion from the study is that mental resilience and openness in peer relationships are conducive to under-taking strategies of coping with stress in the studied adolescents.
Nesaglasnost roditelja o promeni prebivališta deteta – procesnopravne dileme i moguća rešenja

In the case when the parent who does not exercise parental rights does not agree with the change of permanent residence of the child, i.e., doesn’t agree with the child moving abroad with a parent who independently exercises parental rights, courts in Serbia, as a rule, take the position that only because they did not give consent, the parent who does not exercise parental rights should be partially deprived of the parental rights and thus enable the other parent to independently decide on the change of permanent residence. In the theory of family law, this practice has been criticized as unacceptable, therefore there is a need to explore other procedural possibilities in such situations.
Vladavina prava između pravednosti i puke zakonitosti – kratak prikaz razvoja diskursa u konceptu vladavine prava
Authors: Nurkić Benjamin , Hasanović Faris
Published: October 2022

The rule of law is one of the key concepts in the 21st century. The idea of the rule of law exists to the extent that there are reflections on the state and law, and a relationship between these two concepts. The aim of this paper is to show in one place the development of the idea of the rule of law through history. In this sense, the authors look at the thoughts of philosophers who have largely determined the direction of development of the idea of the rule of law. Of course, not all philosophers who have contemplated the rule of law are listed in the paper, but it nevertheless attempts to show in chronological order how the rule of law as an idea developed from Plato to its modern theorists.
A Huge 5kg-Intra-Abdominal Ancient Schwannoma with A Recurrence-A Case Report
Authors: ADEYANJU Michael Abiodun
Published: October 2022

Introduction- This is a rare case of a recurrent huge intrabdominal Ancient Schwannoma, the size of which has not been reported before. This case report aims to enrich the literature on cases of undiagnosed abdominal masses. Clinical features-The patient complained of huge abdominal distension, weight loss, and breathlessness of 4 months duration. The important clinical findings were multiple cutaneous painless swellings, hyperpigmented patches on the trunk, and a mass occupying the whole of the abdomen. Management-A diagnosis of visceral manifestation of neurofibromatosis was made to rule out an intra-abdominal malignancy. Preoperative Abdominal Computed Tomography (CT) scan revealed a huge intrabdominal mass while a CT-guided biopsy showed a Benign Mesenchymal tumor. He had an exploratory laparotomy, and the mass was totally excised. The recovery was uneventful, and the outcome was excellent. Histopathology showed that the tumor was a Schwannoma with no malignancy. However, 5 months after, the swelling recurred and he was eventually lost to follow up. Conclusion- The rarity of Intra-abdominal Schwannomas and absent or non-specific signs and symptoms present the surgeon with a diagnostic dilemma. Preoperative Abdominopelvic CT scan, Ultrasound scan, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging are necessary imaging modalities. Complete excision at surgery reduces recurrence. Close follow-up is essential.
Conformal Prediction for Text Infilling and Part-of-Speech Prediction

Published: October 2022

Modern machine learning algorithms are capable of providing remarkably accurate point-predictions; however, questions remain about their statistical reliability. Unlike conventional machine learning methods, conformal prediction algorithms return confidence sets (i.e., set-valued predictions) that correspond to a given significance level. Moreover, these confidence sets are valid in the sense that they guarantee finite sample control over type 1 error probabilities, allowing the practitioner to choose an acceptable error rate. In our paper, we propose inductive conformal prediction (ICP) algorithms for the tasks of text infilling and part-of-speech (POS) prediction for natural language data. We construct new ICP-enhanced algorithms for POS tagging based on BERT (bidirectional encoder representations from transformers) and BiLSTM (bidirectional long short-term memory) models. For text infilling, we design a new ICP-enhanced BERT algorithm. We analyze the performance of the algorithms in simulations using the Brown Corpus, which contains over 57,000 sentences. Our results demonstrate that the ICP algorithms are able to produce valid set-valued predictions that are small enough to be applicable in real-world applications. We also provide a real data example for how our proposed set-valued predictions can improve machine generated audio transcriptions.
Ex-offenders and their families : a study of reintegration in Zululand
Authors:   , Ndaba Bongeka Princess
Published: October 2022

The study's aim was to understand issues and challenges affecting the reintegration of ex-offenders, with particular reference to their families. For this purpose, six ex-offenders who had gone through an in-prison restorative justice programme facilitated by Phoenix Zululand were recruited, together with two others. Ex-offenders face a harsh socio-economic environment in any case and the additional challenges of stigma following time in prison means even lower prospects of finding a job. Success in reintegration with their families has been found to be critical in preventing recidivism. This is exploratory research with the purpose of exploring the challenges faced by ex-offenders upon their release, when reintegrating with their families. The study carried out with the active support of Phoenix Zululand. Qualitative research was used to explore the reintegration challenges faced by ex-offenders over a 12-month period during 2019. Interviews and focus group discussions were conducted with ex-offenders and their families, who volunteered to participate. The main challenges were stigma, a lack of trust by family members/spouses and securing a livelihood. An unexpected benefit was the mutual support gained from other group members.

Published: October 2022

A sexualidade infantil é um dos aspectos mais importantes do desenvolvimento humano, apesar da crença comum de que os problemas sexuais só aparecem na idade adulta e não devem ser atribuídos às crianças. No entanto, as manifestações da sexualidade infantil podem ser vistas principalmente na escola, pois essa sala está presente desde cedo. Este artigo utiliza as construções freudianas para compreender a sexualidade da criança e suas manifestações de desenvolvimentos e, em seguida, analisa como a escola aborda o desenvolvimento sexual da criança, o que nos permite compreender a conexão entre o ambiente escolar e a sexualidade da criança.
Mercury in the Free Troposphere and Bidirectional Atmosphere-Vegetation Exchanges – Insights from Maïdo Mountain Observatory in the Southern Hemisphere Tropics

Abstract. Atmospheric mercury (Hg) observations in the lower free troposphere (LFT) can give important insights into Hg redox chemistry and can help constrain Hg background concentrations on a regional level. Relatively continuous sampling of LFT air, inaccessible to most ground-based stations, can be achieved at high-altitude observatories. However, such high-altitude observatories are rare, especially in the Southern Hemisphere (SH), and atmospheric Hg in the SH LFT is unconstrained. To fill this gap, we continuously measured gaseous elemental mercury (GEM; hourly) and reactive mercury (RM; integrated over ~6–14 days) for 9 months at Maïdo mountain observatory (2160 masl) on remote Réunion Island (21.1° S, 55.5° E) in the tropical Indian Ocean. GEM exhibits a marked diurnal variation characterized by a midday peak (mean: 0.95 ng m-3; SD: 0.08 ng m-3) and a nighttime low (mean: 0.78 ng m-3; SD: 0.11 ng m-3). We find that this diurnal variation is likely driven by the interplay of important GEM photo-reemission from the islands’ vegetated surface during daylight hours (8–22 ng m-2 h-1), boundary layer influences during the day, and predominant LFT influences at night. We estimate GEM in the LFT based on nighttime observations in particularly dry airmasses and find a notable seasonal variation, with LFT GEM being lowest from December to March (mean 0.66 ng m-3; SD: 0.07 ng m-3) and highest from September to November (mean: 0.79 ng m-3; SD: 0.09 ng m-3). Such a clear GEM seasonality contrasts the weak seasonal variation reported for the SH marine boundary layer, but goes in line with modeling results, highlighting the added value of continuous Hg observations in the LFT. Maïdo RM is 10.6 pg m-3 (SD: 5.9 pg m-3) on average, but RM in the cloud-free LFT might be about twice as high, as weekly-biweekly sampled RM observations are likely diluted by low-RM contributions from the boundary layer and clouds.
Abrasion of sedimentary rocks as a source of hydrogen peroxide and nutrients to subglacial ecosystems
Authors: Gill-Olivas Beatriz , Telling Jon , Skidmore Mark , Tranter Martyn
Published: October 2022

Abstract. Glaciers and ice-sheets are renowned for their abrasive power, yet little is known of the mechanochemical reactions which are initiated by abrasion in these environments and their effect on subglacial biogeochemistry. Here, we use sedimentary rocks representative of different subglacial environments and from a previously glaciated terrain to investigate the potential for subglacial erosion to generate H2O2 and release bio-utilisable organic carbon and nutrients (N, Fe). Samples were crushed using a ball mill, water added to rock powders within gastight vials, and samples incubated in the dark at 4 °C. Headspace and water samples were taken immediately after the addition of water and then again after 5 and 25 h. Samples generated up to 1.5 µmol H2O2 g-1. The total sulphur content, a proxy for the sulphide content, did not correlate with H2O2 generation, suggesting that the pyrite content was not the sole determinant of net H2O2 production. Other factors, including the presence of carbonates, Fe-driven Fenton reactions and the pH of the solution were also likely to be important in controlling both the initial rate of production and subsequent rates of destruction of H2O2. Further, we found erosion can provide previously unaccounted sources of bio-utilisable energy substrates and nutrients, including up to 880 nmol CH4 g-1, 680 nmol H2 g-1, volatile fatty acids (up to 1.7 µmol acetate g-1) and 8.2 µmol NH4+ g-1 to subglacial ecosystems. These results highlight the potentially important role that abrasion plays in providing nutrient and energy sources to subglacial microbial ecosystems underlain by sedimentary rocks.

Abstract. We present two new potential evaporation datasets for the United Kingdom: a historical dataset, Hydro-PE HadUKGrid, which is derived from the HadUK-Grid gridded observed meteorology (1969–2021); and a future dataset, Hydro-PE UKCP18 RCM, which is derived from UKCP18 regional climate projections (1980–2080). Both datasets are suitable for hydrological modelling, and provide Penman-Monteith potential evapotranspiration parameterised for short grass, with and without a correction for interception on days with rainfall. The potential evapotranspiration calculations have been formulated to closely follow the methodology of the existing Meteorological Office Rainfall and Evaporation Calculation System (MORECS) potential evapotranspiration, which has historically been widely used by hydrological modellers in the United Kingdom. The two datasets have been created using the same methodology, to allow seamless modelling from past to future. Hydro-PE HadUK-Grid shows good agreement with MORECS in much of the United Kingdom, although Hydro-PE HadUK Grid is higher in the mountainous regions of Scotland and Wales. This is due to differences in the underlying meteorology, in particular the wind speed, which are themselves due to the different spatial scales of the data.

Abstract. Estimating population densities and their trends over time is essential for understanding primate ecology and for guiding conservation efforts. From 2011 through to 2019, we counted two guenon species during seasonal road transect surveys in Lake Manyara National Park: the Tanzania-endemic Manyara monkey Cercopithecus mitis manyaraensis (International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, IUCN, Red List category of “endangered”) and the vervet monkey Chlorocebus pygerythrus (Red List category of “least concern”). To account for imperfect detectability, we analysed the data in a line distance sampling framework, fitted species-specific detection functions, and subsequently estimated seasonal densities. To test for seasonal differences and yearly trends in the species-specific density estimates, we fitted generalized additive models. Seasonal point density estimates fluctuated considerably during the 9 years (2011–2019) of our study, ranging from 3 to 29 individuals km−2 for Manyara monkeys and from 19 to 83 individuals km−2 for vervet monkeys. Densities of both taxa did not differ seasonally, and we did not detect marked directional population trends. Our study illustrates the utility and limitations of line distance sampling for long-term primate monitoring. Beyond informing primate ecology and management, our results highlight the conservation importance of Lake Manyara National Park for primate conservation.
Un cambio suave
Authors: Ramos Arenas Fernando
Published: October 2022

El presente número de Anales de Historia del Arte llega con una serie de cambios. A principios de este año un nuevo equipo de dirección tomó el relevo con la intención de continuar la transformación iniciada en 2017 por Eva Fernández del Campo (en la dirección) y Laura Rodríguez Peinado (en la secretaría). El cambio suave que esperamos guíe nuestro hacer a partir de ahora pasará por fortalecer algunos de los valores que forman parte ya del ADN de la revista y son al mismo tiempo esenciales para poder hacer aportaciones relevantes al debate actual de nuestra disciplina. Buscaremos pues profundizar en la internacionalización de Anales de Historia del Arte, continuar con el fomento de las miradas transversales y con la apertura a otras disciplinas colindantes con la historia del arte y la cultura visual.
Archivos de arte y artes de archivo. Una introducción
Authors: Rivière Henar
Published: October 2022

El archivo es siempre una vuelta a empezar. Es ese lugar, centralizado o disperso, al que las investigadoras y los investigadores vuelven para reescribir las historias del arte, reformular sus preguntas y reinventar sus enfoques. Es también esa figura de pensamiento que tantas y tantos artistas contemporáneos hacen y deshacen con su trabajo.
Catacumbas en museos: archivos documentales y fotográficos para la historia de la museografía
Authors: Cecalupo Chiara
Published: October 2022

Este artículo presenta tres casos de estudio de museos de finales del siglo XIX que reproducían la disposición original de una catacumba cristiana. Se trata del Museo Cristiano de Letrán en Roma (1854), el Museo del Camposanto Teutónico en el Vaticano (1884) y el museo de Tusculum en Salona (1898). Estos museos ya no existen hoy en día y solo pueden ser conocidos a través de la documentación archivística. El objetivo es utilizar estos casos para ayudar a definir el papel de las fuentes de archivo (textuales, gráficas y fotográficas) en la reconstrucción de la historia de los distintos museos y en la definición de tendencias artísticas y museográficas poco conocidas en la actualidad.
Living Archive. Nyota Inyoka’s Archive: Traces of the Ephemeral and Ancient Dances Reenactment
Authors: López Arnaiz Irene
Published: October 2022

The French National Library keeps since 1983 the personal archive of the dancer and choreographer Nyota Inyoka (Fonds Nyota Inyoka). This archive comprises twenty-eight boxes of documents, besides costumes belonging to the dancer, which are constitutive as material of enormous value for the necessary recovery of this figure that has fallen into oblivion in the history of dance. This article aims at providing a first approach to the Nyota Inyoka Archive by ramifying the study in two directions. On the one hand, it allows us to articulate some keys to her choreographic proposal and her theoretical conception of dance. On the other hand, it enables us to broaden the reflection towards the relationship between the archive and the dancing body. Nyota Inyoka's repertoire revolves around ancient cultures that refer mainly to traditions from ancient Egypt and South and Southeast Asia. Thus, the archive takes on an important presence linked to the discipline of dance in a double sense. Firstly, the ephemeral nature of this art favors the archive to become an essential element for dance research. Whilst if we take into consideration the choreographic process of the dancer based on visual sources from Egyptian and Asian art, her body is constituted as a living archive. In this sense, I will offer a reading of Nyota Inyoka’s work as a kind of avant la lettre reenactment of ancient dances.

Uso y valoración de la música como herramienta didáctica en Educación Primaria
Authors: Nieto-Miguel Ignacio , Álvarez García Francisco José , Urchaga Litago José David , Guevara Ingelmo Raquel María
Published: October 2022

La música se ha considerado tradicionalmente como una herramienta didáctica valiosa en el proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje de los estudiantes. Son mínimos los estudios empíricos realizados sobre el uso y la valoración de la música como un recurso transversal en el ámbito escolar. En esta investigación han participado un total de 258 docentes (74,2% mujeres y 25.8% hombres) en activo de Educación Primaria de la Comunidad de Castilla y León (España). El 74,4% de los participantes desempeñan su trabajo en colegios públicos y un 67.1% tenían 10 o más años de experiencia. Se trata de un estudio descriptivo transversal presentado mediante encuesta a través de un cuestionario ad hoc en el que los encuestados debían reflexionar sobre el uso y valoración de la música en sus clases. Los resultados muestran que existen diferencias en el uso de la música en función de las áreas en donde se imparte docencia; así es muy frecuente su uso en Inglés, Plástica, Educación Especial/Audición y Lenguaje o en Religión/Valores Sociales y Cívicos, y poco frecuente en asignaturas como Ciencias de la Naturaleza o Matemáticas. El 90% de los maestros encuestados y que cuentan con formación musical especializada, hacen un uso habitual de la música en sus clases, frente al 51% de los que no la tienen. El 85% de los docentes encuestados considera que, en general, la música está insuficientemente valorada en la etapa. Por último, se discuten los datos y se justifica la necesidad de mejorar la formación musical de los maestros a la luz de la utilidad y beneficios que esta supone en la formación integral de los niños.
"Es dependiente al sonido de mi voz". Percepciones maternas de las interacciones musicales cantadas entre madre e hijo
Authors: Lerma Arregocés Daniela , Pérez-Moreno Jèssica
Published: October 2022

Las interacciones musicales entre madre e hijo son fenómenos de expresión y comunicación que han estado presentes en todas las civilizaciones por medio de las diferentes manifestaciones de la voz materna y han sido el objeto de estudio de diversas investigaciones.  El presente artículo sigue esta línea de investigación documentando las perspectivas de nueve madres de un bebé de hasta 18 meses de edad en la provincia de Barcelona, sobre las interacciones musicales relacionadas específicamente con el canto y la intervención de la voz materna. Este estudio cualitativo utiliza la técnica de la entrevista semiestructurada con un guion de preguntas abiertas para la recogida de datos. En el proceso de transcripción y análisis se empleó la codificación abierta y manual para definir las categorías: embarazo, repertorio, procedencia, acciones frecuentes y experiencias afectivas; las cuales pudieran agrupar las características más importantes de las interacciones musicales descritas por las madres en sus narraciones. Los resultados indican que, las madres participantes utilizan mecanismos comunicativos de expresión musical que van más allá de la acción de cantar para manifestar al bebé que está siendo cuidado, protegido y querido.
