Mesoporous Bioactive Glasses: Effective Biocompatible Materials for Drug Delivery and Tissue Engineering
Authors: Kargozar Saeid , Gorgani Sara , El-Fiqi Ahmed
Published: December 2024

Mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs) are a special subclass of bioactive
glasses (BGs), which have held great promise in biomedicine. Compared to meltderived BGs, MBGs exhibit higher bioactivity (apatite-forming capability) due to
highly ordered nanoscale pores (2 to 50 nm) in their structure. The size and shape of
well-ordered pores of MBGs depend on structure-directing agents (e.g., CTAB,
Pluronic F-123, and Pluronic F-127) used during their sol-gel synthesis process.
Having a mesoporous structure, MBGs provide great opportunities in tissue
engineering and drug delivery applications. Although MBGs have been mainly
explored for managing hard tissue injuries (e.g., bone defects), recent studies indicate
their usefulness in soft tissue healing as well. In this regard, MBGs can be utilized for
tissue reconstruction in different forms, including fine powders, granules, and
scaffolds. In addition, MBGs have been found suitable vehicles for the delivery of a
wide range of chemicals, bioactive molecules, and pharmaceutical drugs. Loading and
delivery of antibacterial (e.g., antibiotics), pro-angiogenic, and anti-inflammatory
substances are commonly being performed using MBGs for improved and accelerated
tissue repair and regeneration. Furthermore, MBGs are regarded as promising DDSs for
localized delivery of anticancer drugs. Currently, it is feasible to make MBGs as smart
drug delivery systems (DDSs) with the help of chemical engineering approaches; for
example, opening and closing MBGs’ pores are achievable by stimuli-responsive
molecular gates. With the invention of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology,
MBGs were successfully incorporated into polymeric inks to generate potent tissue
substitutes capable of simultaneous tissue engineering and drug delivery.
Bioceramics and Bioactive Glasses for Skin Wound Healing
Authors: Bhattacharya Soumalya , Roy Payal , Saha Rupam , Chakraborty Jui
Published: December 2024

This chapter provides an overview of wounds, distinguishing between acute
and chronic types. It describes the dynamic process of wound healing, involving
hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and maturation. The role of growth factors and
cytokines in the healing process is highlighted, along with the importance of the
extracellular matrix. The text emphasizes that chronic wounds, often associated with
diseases like diabetes, tumors, or ischemia, have a higher likelihood of recurrence and a
prolonged healing period. Additionally, factors such as infections, stress, age, hormonal
issues, and medications can compromise the natural wound healing process. The
current market offerings for wound dressings, such as gauze and films, often fall short
in promoting effective wound healing due to various limitations. In contrast, specific
types of bioceramics and bioactive glasses have shown potential for co-delivering
therapeutic ions, presenting a smart approach to accelerate the wound healing process.
The study emphasizes the need to explore and develop materials with therapeutic
efficacy, moving beyond mere wound coverage to actively promoting healing and
tissue regeneration.
O discurso informal: aplicações em português língua estrangeira (português europeu)
Authors: Warrot Andreia Catarina Vaz
Published: December 2024

The use of language in real and spontaneous situations is one of the most
challenging aspects to master and study, due to its volatile, oral, and instantaneous
nature. Research studies focusing on language usage and supported by real "corpora"
are scarce, particularly regarding European Portuguese. In this article, we aim to
identify and analyze specific forms of orality, such as repetitions, redundancy,
hesitations, and other phenomena, based on a corpus of informal oral conversations
that we are developing as part of our CorpOral-PLE project. This corpus will later be
made available for use in Portuguese as a Foreign Language teaching contexts, to
expose learners to a type of discourse that they often find difficult to understand and
reproduce
We Were There: Individual, Social, and Cultural Memory in Punk Memoirs by Women
Authors: Garrigós Cristina
Published: December 2024

This article analyzes how three of the different types of memory proposed by Aleida Assmann (individual, social, and cultural) are intertwined in the memoirs written by female punk musicians. In these works, there is a strong emphasis on the fact that the narrative persona belongs to a social group, thereby inscribing herself in the culture of the times. The individual memories of the authors, and the shared experiences of the generation to which they belong, thus become a part of the creation of the cultural memory of punk. This article seeks to provide new knowledge of the participation of women in punk via the study of the representation of memory in three memoirs: Alice Bag’s Violence Girl: East L.A. Rage to Hollywood Stage. A Chicana Punk Story (2011), Viv Albertine’s Clothes, Clothes, Clothes, Music, Music, Music, Boys, Boys, Boys (2014), and Chrissie Hynde’s Reckless: My Life as a Pretender (2016). These memoirs demonstrate that the authors contribute to writing the history of punk by inscribing themselves into it. Aware that the presence of women has not previously been sufficiently acknowledged, they do so by interweaving their individual memories with social ones, in order to attest to the birth of punk as culture.

Authors: Romero-Santamaría Arturo , Fermín Escobar Jenny Berenice , Tejero Diez José Daniel
Published: December 2024

Antecedentes y Objetivos: La composición de la flora en el bosque mesófilo de montaña (BMM) de la Sierra Norte de Puebla ha recibido muy poca atención, a excepción de trabajos sobre la taxocenosis de los licopodios y helechos o estudios de plantas útiles. El objetivo principal de este estudio es contribuir al conocimiento florístico por medio de documentar las plantas vasculares de un fragmento de BMM ubicado en el municipio Xicotepec, Puebla, México.Métodos: Se realizó una recolecta de ejemplares de 2014 a 2016. De cada ejemplar se tomaron los datos de nutrición, hábitat, hábito y forma de vida (FV). Una vez identificadas las muestras, se corroboró su distribución y presencia dentro de instrumentos de conservación y comercio. Se calcularon el Índice de Biodiversidad Taxonómica (IB) y la Proporción de Epífitas (Pe).Resultados clave: En total se recolectaron 1476 ejemplares, de los cuales se determinaron 536 especies en 342 géneros y 127 familias. Solo se registraron ocho especies heterótrofas. Los hemicriptófitos y caméfitos son las FV mejor representadas. El IB es de 124.92 (spp/ha). La Pe es de 0.18. Se encontraron 177 especies incluidas en algún instrumento de protección o de comercio. Setenta y siete especies son endémicas a México y seis se restringen a la Sierra Madre Oriental. Además, se encontraron 33 especies introducidas.Conclusiones: Aunque existen indicios de impacto en la zona de estudio, la diversidad taxonómica, porcentajes de epífitas y el espectro de formas de vida no están alejados del normal que debería suponer una zona conservada. La alta diversidad de especies contenida en este relicto de BMM, aunado a que se encuentra en una región crítica de conservación, hace que se perfile como una zona de alta prioridad para su preservación. Se espera que este estudio contribuya con información útil para la toma de decisiones y para el conocimiento florístico general de la Sierra Norte de Puebla.

Authors: Chanove-Manrique Andrea , Cárdenas-Pillco Berly
Published: December 2024

Los bosques del género Polylepis son un importante ecosistema andino en varios países de Sudamérica. Actualmente, hay pocas investigaciones sobre los cambios de estos bosques, relacionados con fragmentación paisajística, pérdida de conectividad y cambio climático; esto representa una desventaja para la toma de decisiones sobre su restauración y conservación que, a futuro, pudieran ser estrategias de adaptación al cambio climático. La presente revisión busca dar a conocer los estudios sobre la fragmentación del paisaje y pérdida de conectividad en los bosques andinos de queñua (Polylepis) del Perú y su vulnerabilidad ante el cambio climático, mediante una búsqueda bibliográfica en bases de datos de artículos científicos, documentos y normativa peruana. Se encontró que el cambio climático a lo largo de los años ha venido afectando a los bosques de esta especie; sin embargo, algunos estudios muestran que puede ser resiliente, por lo que se sugieren futuras investigaciones de los cambios en estos ecosistemas, para fomentar su conservación.

Background

Mobile digital wellness and health apps play a significant role in optimizing health and aiding in cancer management and decision-making.

Objective

This study aims to identify the factors influencing the use of mobile health and wellness apps among cancer information seekers in the United States.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from the Health Information National Trends Survey. Our analysis focused on 4770 participants who sought cancer information. We performed weighted univariate and multivariable logistic regression to determine the association between the use of health and wellness apps and socioeconomic factors, medical history and conditions, and lifestyle and behavioral factors.

Results

A total of 4770 participants who sought cancer information were included in the final analysis. Of these, 80.9% (n=2705) were health and wellness app users, while 19.1% (n=793) were nonusers. In the final adjusted model, participants with household incomes ≥US $50,000 had 49% higher adjusted odds of using these apps than those with incomes <US $50,000 (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]=1.49, 95% CI 1.02-2.14). College graduates and those with higher educational levels were avid users compared to those with a high school diploma or less (aOR=1.87, 95% CI 1.30-2.67). Internet users had over 3 times the odds of using these apps compared to nonusers (aOR=3.28, 95% CI 1.70-6.33). Participants within the age group 18-34 years were 3.70 times more likely (aOR=3.70, 95% CI 1.90-7.23) to use a health and wellness app compared to participants within the age group of 75 years and older.

Conclusions

Age, education, household income, and use of the internet are the major determinants of the adoption of digital health and wellness apps among seekers of cancer information. Hence, public health programs could be directed toward addressing these factors to improve cancer diagnosis, treatment, and management using these apps.

New methods of treatment for severe and moderate postoperative pain syndrome in patients with cancer
Authors: Dmytriiev D.V. , Barsa M.M.
Published: December 2024

Background. Anesthesia management in oncology surgeries poses significant challenges for anesthesiologists due to the extent of surgical trauma and the presence of pre-existing conditions such as chronic pain and prolonged use of narcotic analgesics. This necessitates the development of novel strategies to optimize postoperative pain management, particularly in this cohort. Objective: to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of a medicinal product with active ingredient dinalbuphine sebacate (150 mg/2 ml) in patients with moderate to severe pain syndrome following reconstructive mammoplasty due to breast cancer surgery. Materials and methods. This was a multicenter, randomized, prospective, open-label study involving 60 inpatients who underwent mammoplasty as a result of breast cancer surgery. Both groups received medications in accordance with multimodal analgesia protocols (paracetamol 1 g four times daily, dexketoprofen 50 mg three times daily, additional doses of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as needed) and morphine as needed at a maximum dose of 40 mg/day. Patients in the experimental group (30 participants) received 150 mg of dinalbuphine sebacate intramuscularly 12–24 hours before surgery. The primary endpoints included pain intensity measured on a numerical rating scale at 6, 24, 48, 96, and 120 hours postoperatively, the number of doses of NSAIDs and morphine as needed, and the incidence and nature of complications associated with drug administration. Results. A statistically significant difference in pain levels on the numerical rating scale was observed at 6 and 24 hours (p < 0.05). After 48, 96, and 120 hours, pain levels did not differ between the groups. Morphine consumption differed significantly between the experimental and control groups on the first postoperative day (0 [0; 10] mg vs. 10.0 [0; 10] mg, respectively, p < 0.05). On the second day, the values were 0 [0; 10] mg vs. 0 [0; 10] mg, respectively, p = 0.232. Additional NSAIDs administration was required by 83.3 % of patients in the experimental group and 93.4 % of controls. Conclusions. The study demonstrated that dinalbuphine sebacate is an effective and safe component of multimodal analgesia. In the experimental group, target levels of postoperative pain control were achieved during the first 24 hours following surgery, unlike the control group.
The Interaction between Histone Lysine Methyltransferase GLP and EZH2
Authors: Lu Xinle , Chao Ludan , Huang Xianju
Published: December 2024

Recent studies have implicated that H3K9 lysine methyltransferases (KMTs) and polycomb repressive complex2 (PRC2) act in a cross-talk. However, a connection between GLP, one of the well-known H3K9 KMTs and the EZH2, one of the core members of PRC2, has not been established. Here we not only demonstrated that there was interaction between the GLP and the EZH2 proteins in vivo, but also provided evidence that the activity of EZH2 was effected by down-regulation of GLP. In light of these observations, western blotting, co-immunoprecipitation and qRT-PCR were performed to explore in GLP siRNA KGN cells. The specific interaction between GLP and EZH2 was demonstrated with co-immunoprecipitation. Our results also indicate that the decreased level of GLP participate in the modulation of EZH2 function in vivo.Taken together, our findings identified that an unanticipated interplay between the two histone lysine methyltransferases, which is implicated in regulating of a subset of developmental genes.

Introduction. The memory of the great Mongol conqueror and his empire still remains the focus of attention of scientists, writers and statesmen and influences modern cultural and political processes. The purpose of this article is that the article provides brief information about the history of creation and the current state of the Ordos mausoleum in honor of Genghis Khan. It is believed that this memorial contains personal belongings and symbols of the power of the great Mongol conqueror. Materials and methods. When conducting the study, a complex of heterogeneous sources was used, represented by Internet publications, journal articles and statistical data related to the Ordos Mausoleum of Genghis Khan. Analytical tools, determined by a systematic approach to the object of study, include the method of retrospective analysis, comparative historical and historical typological methods and systems analysis. The combination of retrospective and problem-chronological methods with the principles of historicism and objectivity made it possible to consider events objectively and in the context of their relationships. Results. Based on current translated data from Chinese publications, an analytical description of the studied object and its tourism potential is presented. It was revealed that the creation of a tourist complex at the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan was initiated by the private development corporation Donglian in 2001. Conclusion. The Ordos Mausoleum of Genghis Khan and the tourist complex of the same name can be considered as one of the modern forms of the cult of veneration of Genghis Khan, as well as a striking example of the pragmatic implementation of the policy of memory on the part of the official Chinese authorities in relation to the great conqueror and the Mongol Empire as a whole. Thanks to a creative approach to the practical implementation of the course of reforms and openness in the field of culture of small peoples, the central and regional Chinese authorities were able to create a completely harmonious synthesis of Chinese and Mongolian cultural traditions, commercialize and synthesize the cultural and aesthetic-symbolic potential of the memory of the Mongol Empire and modern Chinese statehood represented by Genghis Khan and the memorial complex in his honor in Ordos, relying on regional public-private partnerships. Last but not the least, constructive cooperation between the regional historical community, private business and the party-state administration of the Ordos urban district has borne fruit.

Published: December 2024

Las infecciones del tracto urinario (ITU) son de las más comunes y recurrentes que afectan a hombres y mujeres a cualquier edad. Asimismo, representan un problema de salud pública a nivel mundial. El agente etiológico principal es Escherichia coli uropatógena (UPEC), bacteria presente en más del 80% de las ITU adquiridas en la comunidad. A la fecha, varios autores han contribuido con estudios que describen los factores de virulencia que capacitan a Escherichia coli uropatógena para producir ITU. Sin embargo, lo que se sabe de la genética de este patógeno se encuentra restringido a un número limitado de genes que han servido para su clasificación como son los que codifican para diversos factores de virulencia, que no son compartidos por la totalidad de las Escherichia coli uropatógenas. Por ello, el objetivo de esta revisión es conocer el impacto que el análisis de la secuenciación del genoma completo ha tenido para entender el papel de UPEC como patógeno y como un complemento de otros estudios.
“The big strip tease”: identidad y trauma a partir del cuerpo desmembrado en Sylvia Plath
Authors: Martínez Delfín María José
Published: December 2024

La poesía confesional traza una línea delgada entre voz poética y autor. Como género, puede utilizarse como vehículo de introspección, para el auto reconocimiento, y como un ejercicio catártico-terapéutico. La obra intensamente autobiográfica de Sylvia Plath se encuentra en este espacio liminal donde sus versos concisos permiten vislumbrar la experiencia de la autora misma. “Lady Lazarus” y “Daddy” presentan instancias específicas de violencia donde el yo poético pretende dar sentido al trauma personal mediante metáforas bíblicas y del Holocausto. En ambos poemas, el cuerpo es un elemento desmembrado, catalogado en partes y escindido dolorosamente para recalcar disconformidad durante la búsqueda de identidad. El trato brutalizado del cuerpo evoca procesos de disociación, según la teoría del “cuerpo fragmentado” de Jacques Lacan, semejante a cómo Primo Levi lidia con el trauma de la deshumanización en relatos memorísticos de los campos de concentración. Por lo tanto, el uso de una tragedia histórica ajena en estos poemas actúa como recurso de generalización para la expresión personal de Plath. El yo poético lleva a cabo una “cosificación” propia mediante el préstamo de la experiencia grupal histórica más próxima, como el Holocausto, para capturar las preocupaciones íntimas de la autora (como la ansiedad hacia la guerra nuclear y su difícil relación con la masculinidad represiva). En “Lady Lazarus” y “Daddy”, el entramado del dolor psíquico con el corporal es un hilo conductor que brinda coherencia a la sensibilidad dislocada de Plath, tanto como potenciador del trauma o como medio contemplativo y liberador. Con esta aproximación, este artículo analiza, en ambos poemas, el uso de imágenes con asociaciones históricas ajenas a la autora y, por lo tanto, “problemáticas” para la expresión del cuerpo; así mismo, este texto busca poner a prueba los posibles límites del recurso semiautobiográfico en la obra confesional de Sylvia Plath.
La heteronormatividad como herramienta para la rehabilitación psiquiátrica en The Bell Jar
Authors: Escutia Angulo Alejandra
Published: December 2024

La novela The Bell Jar de la autora estadounidense Sylvia Plath relata un período en la vida de la protagonista, Esther Greenwood, durante el cual se ve sumergida en una depresión que hace imposible que disfrute su pasantía en Nueva York. Situada dentro del contexto de la Guerra Fría, la novela muestra no sólo las actitudes sociales respecto a la posición de las mujeres en la sociedad durante la Posguerra, sino también las reacciones ante el aparentemente inevitable avance del comunismo, con la ejecución de los Rosenberg en la silla eléctrica como parte de la primera oración de la historia. Al no poder elegir una de las posibilidades que se le presentan para el futuro, Esther permanece fuera de la norma establecida para las mujeres de la época. Esto la lleva a sufrir una crisis de salud mental por la que debe ser hospitalizada y se le aplica terapia de electroshock. El propósito de este artículo es mostrar cómo es posible identificar el uso de la electricidad como castigo ante la disrupción de la normatividad, además de dilucidar cómo las interacciones de Esther con otros personajes femeninos pueden interpretarse como un interés lésbico que al final debe desecharse para permitirle tener una vida “feliz” y “completa” bajo los preceptos de la sociedad estadounidense a mediados del siglo xx.
"Los placeres de la crueldad": una lectura gótica de La philosophie dan le boudoir, del Marqués de Sade
Authors: De las Fuentes Zerón Alejandro
Published: December 2024

En La philosophie dan le boudoir¸ Sade realiza un retrato de la violencia y los horrores de la sociedad francesa postrevolucionaria. El tocador se convierte en una representación del mundo, un microcosmos en dónde se exploran las contradicciones de la condición humana y la hipocresía de los valores de la Ilustración es revelada. Aunque la obra de Sade no pertenece a la tradición gótica o a la literatura de horror, el tratamiento que el autor da a los temas del cuerpo y del espacio comparte varias similitudes con la literatura gótica clásica en lengua inglesa. El propósito de este artículo recae en analizar la relación entre el cuerpo de los personajes de la novela y el tocador, entendido como una reconfiguración del espacio gótico tradicional, para demostrar que La Philosophie dans le boudoir puede ser leída desde la óptica de lo gótico, pues es una obra cuyas características relacionadas con la construcción del espacio y la representación de los excesos del cuerpo transgreden los límites establecidos por la sociedad. La novela refleja los horrores que se ocultan detrás de las instituciones moralizantes de la sociedad, al mismo tiempo que desafía conceptos como educación y civilidad.

¿Rojinegra o tricolor?: la prensa obrera y el debate sobre el uso de las banderas por las organizaciones obreras (1924-1925)
Authors: Hernández del Villar Sureya
Published: December 2024

En este artículo se describe una polémica entre el Partido Comunista de México (PCM) y la Confederación Regional Obrera Mexicana (CROM) con respecto al uso de las banderas por las organizaciones obreras. El propósito es mostrar un debate llevado a cabo en la prensa y cómo se negaba o se promovía el uso de la bandera mexicana y de la bandera rojinegra a través de textos e imágenes publicadas en El Machete y la revista CROM. Recurro a elementos de la historia cultural, los estudios de la prensa y la historia del arte, con el fin de analizar las propuestas que amalgamaban o contraponían ambos emblemas. Esta disputa revela las tensiones entre dos organizaciones que pretendían dirigir el movimiento obrero y cómo sugerían prácticas para una cultura obrera a través de la promoción de símbolos.
Salud Mental Humanista para las Américas: Erich Fromm en el campo sanitario latinoamericano durante la década de 1960
Authors: Manzanares Ruiz Martín
Published: December 2024

En el artículo se exploran las condiciones sociales que posibilitaron la emergencia del concepto salud mental humanista, así como su difusión en Latinoamérica a través de la Organización Panamericana de la Salud (OPS) durante la década de 1960. Para ello se revisa la obra de Erich Fromm, autor del concepto, así como los documentos emitidos por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) y la OPS. El trabajo demuestra que el término no sólo disputó la forma de entender la salud mental en su sentido médico-científico, sino que también sirvió como baluarte ideológico de la Alianza para el Progreso en el clima de la Guerra Fría.

Published: December 2024

Linguistic variations across academic and professional domains highlight the need for English for Specific Purposes (ESP) curricula tailored to technical communication demands. This study aims to analyze discourse characteristics in Communicative English Language Skills texts and Garment and Apparel Fashion materials to identify genre-based distinctions. Purposive sampling was used to select relevant courses, and quantitative register analysis was conducted using adapted multidimensional frameworks to identify patterns in vocabulary, grammar, and discourse types. The findings revealed that Garment and Apparel Fashion texts emphasized descriptive, instructional, and analytical functions essential for skill development, while Communicative English Language Skills texts incorporated a broader range of genres to foster versatility. These variations in discourse features were contextually driven and informed the need for curriculum refinement. The study emphasizes the importance of evidence-based, context-sensitive English instruction to address disciplinary discourse differences.
Деформирование бетона раннего замораживания при оценке НДС железобетонных конструкций

Published: December 2024

При производстве работ по бетонированию конструкций в условиях отрицательных температур часто возникает ситуация, при которой нарушена технология прогрева бетонной смеси при ее схватывании и твердении. Принято указывать в проекте минимальную (критическую) прочность бетона перед его замораживанием для обеспечения набора прочности до марочных показателей. Низкая прочность бетона к моменту замораживания является основанием для демонтажа конструкции или ее усиления. Как следствие — снижение рентабельности строительства и увеличение сроков производства работ. В работе приведена методика построения диаграммы деформирования образцов бетона после раннего замораживания бетонной смеси с целью использования ее при оценке НДС конструкций с низкой прочностью. Для оценки влияния сроков раннего замораживания на конечную прочность бетона и построения деформационных кривых проведены испытания на сжатие образцов-кубов с ребром 100 мм с различным сроком выдерживания бетона перед его замораживанием. Приведена методика учета полученных деформационных кривых для оценки НДС конструкций на основе нелинейной деформационной модели. Подготовлена исходная информация для разработки программы расчета НДС по полученной методике. Полученные результаты позволяют выполнять оценку технического состояния конструкций после раннего замораживания бетонной смеси с учетом измененных деформационных характеристик бетона участков с ранним замораживанием бетонной смеси.

Studying the combustibility and physical‒mechanical properties of wood is important for recommending its use in construction. The objective of this study was to evaluate the combustibility, as well as the physical and mechanical properties, of twelve Brazilian Amazonian woods. Species.  For each species, the combustibility parameters, fire exposure test, residual mass, loss mass, intact mass, charred area, proximate analysis, basic density, compressive strength and modulus of elasticity were determined. All the evaluated properties were significant affected by the wood species. In the fire exposure test, ignition time ranged from 21 s to 55 s while flame time was between 108 s and 233 s. Residual mass ranged from 60,7% to 82,7%, and intact areas ranged from 28,13 % to 62,68 %. Basic density values ranged from 335 kg/m3 to 889 kg/m3, compressive strength ranged from 29 MPa to 82 MPa, and the modulus of elasticity ranged from 9 GPa to 33 GPa. The wood of Hymenaea courbaril (courbaril), Manilkara huberi (masaranduba), Handroanthus serratifolius (yellow lapacho) was identified as the most suitable for structural components, ensuring greater safety against possible fires. Short-term fire exposure tests, particularly the ignition time parameter combined with residual mass and intact area, are key for assessing wood resistence to fires.
Gobernanza de los afectos frente a la situación de calle en Ciudad de México, México
Authors: Torres Ruiz Jacqueline
Published: December 2024

This article aims to analyze the validity of the governance of fear, disgust, and contempt in the spatial production of the city, as well as in the political, legal, and scientific discourses on street situations in Mexico City during the 21st century. A qualitative methodological design is employed, based on the proposal of Close Reading (Ahmed, 2015), specifically using documentary review. Three discursive axes are examined: a) scientific production identified in the selected databases on homelessness in Mexico; b) current political-legal discourses on homelessness and parallel phenomena that affect this population; and c) media discourse represented in news headlines published between 2021 and 2023. The analysis focuses on identifying narrative milestones that reveal tacit relationships and meanings surrounding this urban group. The study concludes that, in the case of Mexico City, there are complex relationships, mixtures, and emotional connections that underlie the construction of otherness and inhabit the streets, as reflected in current public discourses. However, hierarchies of contempt prevail towards individuals perceived as “street kids”.

Este trabalho objetiva revelar a percepção do cacique da etnia Sateré-Mawé sobre a implantação da educação escolar indígena para as crianças em sua aldeia. A investigação permite refletir e entender conceitos como etnoeducação, colonização e decolonização, por mostrar a luta solitária do líder indígena em busca dos direitos à educação diferenciada. A pesquisa de campo se deu dentro da aldeia indígena Nossa Senhora Aparecida, às margens do rio Mamuru, no município de Juruti - PA, divisa com o Estado do Amazonas. A coleta de dados ocorreu através da escuta da História Oral (HO) do morubixaba e a partir de saída de campo. Em suas falas significativas, o Tuissá vê a escola como um campo de descolonização do pensamento e nicho de reflorestamento de sua cultura. Para que isso se efetive, é necessário garantir a execução do direito etnoeducacional ao seu povo para reflorestar mentes e corações de seus irmãos indígenas que sofreram com banimento e sujeição da cultura de seus ancestrais.
Implementation of ISO 9001:2015 in state universities and colleges: A quality management, organizational performance, and legal framework

Published: December 2024

State universities and colleges (SUCs) in the Philippines are increasingly adopting ISO 9001:2015 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to enhance their organizational performance. However, maintaining the quality management system (QMS) beyond initial certification presents significant challenges, including deviations from compliance and lack of sustained resource support. This research seeks to explore the integration and long-term sustainability of ISO 9001:2015 within SUCs, with a particular focus on extension services. Using a descriptive case study approach, data were gathered through interviews, document analysis, and field observations conducted in two SUCs located in Region III. The research not only identifies the benefits like improved service delivery and satisfying stakeholders, but it also recognizes the hindrances that include the reluctance to change and resource mobilization. The study concludes that indeed the QMS has a positive impact on the performance of an organization, but at the same time, its continuity depends on the uninterrupted support as well as the involvement of relevant stakeholders (Sartor et al., 2019). These findings account for the broader conversation on quality management (QM) in higher education institutions (Al-Bashir, 2016) and how proper strategic planning is the key to meeting the long-term goals of the institution.
(Ne)važnost Slavonije za mađarsku politiku za vreme raspade Kraljevine Ugarske nakon Prvog svetskog rata
Authors: Hornyák Árpád
Published: December 2024

Krajevi današnje Slavonije nekada su bili važan dio Kraljevine Ugarske, ali su uslijed turskog osvajanja uglavnom ispali iz neposredne ugarske jurisdikcije i vlasti počevši od 16. stoljeća. Unatoč tome, Slavonija nije prestala biti važna politička i ekonomska regija za ugarsku državu ni nakon ugarsko-hrvatskog sporazuma, kada je ta regija pripojena Hrvatskoj. Međutim, na kraju Prvog svjetskog rata ovo područje nije bilo od osobite važnosti za mađarsku političku elitu; štoviše, moglo bi se reći kako su i mađarska politička elita i javno mnijenje zanemarili Slavoniju u usporedbi s drugim okupiranim područjima. U radu se govori o razlozima za to, prikazujući politiku dezintegracije i teške reorganizacije mađarske centralne vlasti u vrijeme pripajanja ovog teritorija Kraljevini SHS i nastojanja da se očuva integritet Ugarske.
Grof Ferenc Balassa i Civilna Slavonija u drugoj polovici 18. stoljeća
Authors: Horbec Ivana
Published: December 2024

Kao kraljevski komornik, savjetnik Ugarskog namjesničkog vijeća, veliki župan Srijemske županije, hrvatsko-slavonski ban te savjetnik Leopolda II., grof Ferenc Balassa (1736. – 1807.) bio je jedna od istaknutijih osoba u politici zemalja krune sv. Stjepana u drugoj polovici 18. stoljeća. O Balassi se u hrvatskoj historiografiji rijetko raspravljalo na temelju izvora, a često s različitih, čvrstih stajališta. S jedne je strane smatran predstavnikom inteligencije i prosvijećenim javnim službenikom; s druge strane „strancem“, „jozefinistom“ i „komesarom“ habsburških vladara. Znatan dio svojeg radnog vijeka, od 1762. do 1790. godine, Balassa je proveo u Hrvatsko-slavonskom Kraljevstvu, gdje se upoznao s tamošnjim društvenim i političkim tradicijama i gdje je bio posrednikom između staleža i zahtjeva državnih struktura na lokalnoj razini u razdoblju prosvijećenog apsolutizma. Njegova opsežna korespondencija i drugi zapisi uvelike otkrivaju njegova osobna stremljenja, ali i osobna stajališta o lokalnoj politici onoga doba. U ovom se radu na temelju tih izvora propituje Balassina uloga u formiranju habsburške politike prema Civilnoj Slavoniji, osobito s obzirom na njegovo obrazovanje, osobne ambicije i iskustvo političkog djelovanja u Slavoniji.

Parasti mūsu atmiņas par skolu vai augstskolu saistās ar klases vai kursa biedriem, skolotājiem vai profesoriem, piedzīvojumiem, notikumiem, bet retāk mēs atceramies gadskaitļus, kur nu vēl tos saistībā ar ēku.
Šoreiz neparasti: par vienu no skolas ēkām, kas divu gadsimtu garumā bijusi un vēl joprojām ir Alma Mater dažādu profesiju studējošajiem, kā arī absolventiem.
Vēsturiskā ēka tapusi 19. gadsimta pašās beigās kā Jelgavas reālskolas jaunā ēka. Ēka dzīvo savu dzīvi, bet reizē tā ir nams, mājas un templis izglītībai – sākotnēji Jelgavas reālskolai, vēlāk Jelgavas Valsts skolotāju institūtam, tad Jelgavas Pedagoģiskajai skolai, pēckara gados Latvijas Lauksaimniecības akadēmijas (LLA) Hidromeliorācijas un zemes ierīcības fakultātei (HF/ZIF) un visbeidzot Latvijas Biozinātņu un tehnoloģiju universitātes Ekonomikas un sabiedrības attīstības fakultātei.
Šī nelielā grāmatiņa ir cieņas apliecinājums vietai un mājām Svētes ielā 18, Jelgavā, kas šodienas ekonomistiem, uzņēmējiem, vadītājiem, grāmatvežiem, sociologiem un daudziem citiem ir bijusi pašu apčubināta, iemīlēta un iedzīvināta Alma Mater.
Mans nams ir mana pils.
Nams, kurā dvēsele mīt.
Un templis man arī ir savs.
Templis, kas sirdī ir celts.
