Comparative metabolic study of planktonic and sessile cells in Salmonella Enteritidis ATCC 13076: Elucidating metabolic pathways driving biofilm formation
Authors: Guillín Yuliany , Ortiz Claudia , Hidalgo William
Published: January 2025

Microorganisms tend to accumulate on surfaces, forming aggregates such as biofilms, which grant them resistance to various environmental stressors and antimicrobial agents. This ability has hindered the effective treatment of diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms, including Salmonella, which is responsible for a significant number of deaths worldwide. This study aimed to compare the metabolic profiles of planktonic and sessile cells of Salmonella Enteritidis using a metabolomics approach. The metabolites extracted from the bacterial cells were analyzed by LC/MS approach. Raw data were analyzed using Thermo Xcalibur v 3.1 software. For data processing, XCMS was used for feature detection, retention time, correction and alignment. The data matrix was analyzed by uni- and multivariate statistical methods (PCA, PLS-DA, Heatmap) in MetaboAnalyst software v 6.0. A total of 121 metabolites were presumptively identified as differential metabolic characteristics between the two bacterial states, and they were associated with their corresponding metabolic pathways. Among the metabolites that exhibited positive modulation in planktonic cells were proline, phenylalanine, which act as precursors of essential metabolites and part of the stress adaptation mechanisms. In addition, putrescine and cadaverine, play crucial roles in growth, stress response, and cell stability In contrast, the most representative metabolites in sessile cells included lysine, adenosine, purines, pyrimidines, and citrate, mainly associated with maintaining cellular homeostasis, stress response and metabolic regulation. Finally, pathway enrichment analysis identified metabolic changes in 11 pathways, predominantly involving purine and pyrimidine metabolism, arginine and proline metabolism, and vitamin B6 metabolism. These findings facilitated the identification of potential metabolic pathways associated with biofilm formation in the sessile cells of Salmonella Enteritidis.

Published: January 2025

Objectives

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) significantly deteriorates patients’ quality of life (QOL). This study examined the dynamic interplay of factors that influence QOL in patients with T2DM, utilizing concepts from positive psychology and intrinsic mechanisms, to lay the groundwork for improving patient outcomes. Improving self-management behaviors is essential for effective disease management.

Methods

Using a cross-sectional design, this study incorporated 408 patients with T2DM from the endocrinology department of a public hospital in Urumqi, who were selected through convenience sampling from December 29, 2023 to June 30, 2024. Data collection tools included the General Data Questionnaire, Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities, Self-Efficacy for Diabetes Questionnaire, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and Diabetes-Specific Quality of Life Scale. Structural equation modeling and Model 15 of Hayes’ SPSS-Process program facilitated the moderated mediation analysis.

Results

The findings demonstrated that self-efficacy significantly enhanced the QOL (β = -0.8557, p < 0.01), with resilience serving as a partial mediator, accounting for 43.1% of this effect. Interactions between self-efficacy and self-management, and resilience and self-management, were also significant predictors of QOL (β = -0.0751, p < 0.01 and β = -0.0073, p < 0.05, respectively).

Conclusion

These findings introduce a novel theoretical framework for T2DM from the perspective of positive psychology, which will be beneficial for intervention development. This study underscores the importance of promoting diabetes self-management as an effective strategy to enhance QOL. Additionally, healthcare providers must focus on fostering patients’ positive psychological traits and reliable self-management behaviors.
Usual prevention in unusual settings: A scoping review of place-based health interventions in public-facing businesses
Authors: Tsai Jack , McCann Nicholas A.
Published: January 2025

Place-based health interventions may help reach underserved populations. This scoping review summarizes the peer-reviewed literature on the type and effects of place-based health interventions in unconventional public-facing business settings (e.g., retail and services). A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Google Scholar, and APA PsycNet for studies from 1990–2023. Inclusion criteria for studies were: conducted in the United States, delivered a health intervention, based on an unconventional business setting, and targeted a specific health condition. An initial search yielded 2,727 unduplicated studies, which was filtered to 42 studies included in this review. These 42 studies were categorized based on health conditions of focus, including cardiovascular health (12 studies); HIV (6 studies); diabetes (5 studies); cancers (13 studies); and all other conditions (14 studies). The most common unconventional public-facing business settings for health interventions included barbershops or beauty salons; interventions included health education, preventative screenings, pharmacy services, and connections to local healthcare providers and resources. Notably, 34 (81%) of the studies targeted Black populations. Studies reported positive responses from participants for place-based interventions, increased awareness and screening of health conditions, more referrals to healthcare services, and improved health outcomes. While there have been 9 randomized trials conducted across various health conditions, these trials are limited to focus on a few select settings and lack of objective health outcome measures. These findings highlight the need for more rigorously designed studies in diverse settings that can effectively evaluate the impact of place-based health interventions. The existing literature suggests health interventions delivered in public-facing business settings may be a promising strategy to reach underserved populations.

Escherichia coli is one of the critical One Health pathogens due to its vast array of virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes. This study used multiplex PCR to determine the occurrence of virulence genes bfp, ompA, traT, eaeA, and stx1 among 50 multidrug-resistant (MDR) E. coli isolates from humans (n = 15), animals (n = 29), and the environment (n = 6) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Their association with antimicrobial-resistant genes (ARGs) was determined using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). All 50/50 (100%) MDR E. coli isolates carried at least one virulence gene, with 19/50 (38%) carrying four genes, bfp + traT + eaeA + ompA. The findings showed a high occurrence of virulence genes bfp (82%), traT (82%), eaeA (78%), and ompA (72%); the study detected no stx1 in any of the isolates. In humans, the most detected virulence genes were bfp and traT 14/15 (93.3%); for poultry, it was eaeA 13/14 (92.9%); for pigs, was bfp and traT 13/15 (86.7%); while for river water, it was eaeA 6/6 (100%). The study observed no significant association between virulence genes and ARGs. PCA results show the genes ompA, traT, eaeA, and bfp contributed to the virulence of the isolates, and blaTEM, blaCTX-M, and qnrs contributed to ARGs. The PCA ellipses show that isolates from pigs had more virulence genes than those isolated from poultry, river water, and humans. The high frequency of numerous virulence genes in MDR E. coli isolates from humans, animals, and the environment indicates that these isolates have a very high potential to cause diseases that are difficult to treat because they are MDR.
The efficacy of acupuncture in relieving postoperative pain in patients with low simple anal fistula: Protocol of a prospective, randomised, controlled trial
Authors: Yang Min , Zheng De , Jin Xingtao , Tang Huili , Cao Weiwei , Ye Qianqian , Qu Yin , Mei Zubing
Published: January 2025

Background

Anal fistula surgery often leads to postoperative pain, which can hinder recovery and negatively impact patients’ quality of life. This prospective, randomised, controlled trial (RCT) aims to investigate the efficacy of acupuncture in alleviating postoperative pain and reducing the usage of analgesic medications following anal fistula surgery.

Methods

This single-centre, patient-blinded, assessor-blinded, placebo-controlled randomised controlled trial (RCT) will be conducted at a tertiary referral hospital. A total of 66 patients with low simple anal fistula will be randomised at a 1:1 ratio to receive either acupuncture or sham acupuncture. The primary outcome is the difference in the numerical rating scale (NRS) pain score before and after acupuncture at 6 hours post surgery. The secondary outcomes include postoperative analgesic usage (Day 0 to Day 7), complications (including infection, urinary retention, and bleeding from Day 0 to Day 7, as well as delayed wound healing and recurrence within 3 months post surgery), sleep quality (PSQI from Day 0 to Day 7), psychological state (SDS and SAS on Day 0, Day 1, and Day 7), and overall recovery quality (QoR-15 on Day 1, Day 3, and Day 7). The statistical analysis of this trial will be conducted using SPSS software, validating the normality of data and the homogeneity of variance, and employing t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, chi-square tests, and repeated measures ANOVA to analyze baseline data, primary and secondary outcome indicators.

Discussion

This study aims to contribute to the expanding evidence base regarding the role of acupuncture in postoperative pain management. Through a comprehensive assessment of pain relief, analgesic usage, and other recovery-related outcomes, our findings will establish a foundation for standardizing acupuncture protocols specifically tailored for anal fistula surgery patients. The strengths of this trial are rooted in its rigorous randomised controlled trial (RCT) design, comprehensive outcome measures, and focused examination of a clinically significant issue. Ultimately, the findings of this trial have the potential to offer valuable insights into the utility of acupuncture as an adjunctive therapy for postoperative pain management among anal fistula patients, thereby informing future clinical practice and research directions.

Do CEOs with government work experience foster enterprise investment in pollution control?
Authors: Peng Mixiang , Li Dayuan , Zhang Chaolin
Published: January 2025

As enterprise leaders, CEOs play a critical role in driving enterprise investment in pollution control. However, few studies have explored the motivations behind enterprise investment in pollution control, primarily how CEOs’ early experiences influence their decisions. Based on the perspective of imprinting theory, this study examines the impact of CEOs with government work experience on enterprise investment in pollution control and the boundary conditions of this impact. Using data from a survey of private enterprises in China from 2008 to 2014, the empirical results indicate that CEOs with government work experience are likelier to promote enterprise investment in pollution control. Additionally, a CEO’s perceptions of economic, social, and political status negatively moderate the relationship between their government work experience and enterprise investment in pollution control. This study enriches and deepens the study on career imprinting in non-commercial fields, status perception, and sustainable development and provides practical significance for hiring CEOs with government work experience to promote enterprise investment in pollution control.

T-cell response plays an important role in SARS-CoV-2 immunogenicity. For people living with HIV (PWH) and solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients there is limited evidence on the reliability of commercially available T-cell tests. We assessed 173 blood samples from 81 participants (62 samples from 35 PWH; 111 samples from 46 SOT recipients [lung and kidney]) with two commercial SARS-CoV-2 Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) release assays (IGRA; SARS-CoV-2 IGRA by Euroimmun, and IGRA SARS-CoV-2 by Roche). The reliability between the tests was judged as low (Cohen’s kappa [κ] = 0.20; overall percent agreement [OPA] = 66%). A high proportion of tests were invalid (22% Euroimmun; 8% Roche). When excluding these invalid tests, the agreement was higher (κ  =  0.43; OPA = 90%). The low reliability between the two T-cell tests indicates that results should be interpreted with caution in SOT recipients and PWH and that SARS-CoV-2 T-cell tests need to be optimized and further validated for use in vulnerable patient populations.
Exploring real estate blockchain adoption: An empirical study based on an integrated task-technology fit and technology acceptance model
Authors: Yang Hailan , Zhang Zixian , Jian Chen , Ahmad Nisar
Published: January 2025

Although many organizations have adopted blockchain technology (BCT) for efficiency and automation and users’ adoption of BCT is becoming crucial for the companies, few studies have focused on the factors affecting the adoption of BCT in real estate sector. This study aims to assess the factors affecting the adoption of BCT in real estate by the lens of an extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Task-technology fit (TTF). This current study uses quantitative survey approach. Data were collected from 311 real sector buyers and sellers in China. Partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used for data analysis. The study’s findings indicate that attitude, perceived usefulness (PU) and data privacy and security (DPS) exerts highest influence in the proposed theoretical model. In addition, the findings also confirmed the significant impact of perceived ease of use (PEOU) on attitude, and TTF impact on PU and PEOU in adoption of BCT. Furthermore, the moderating impact of perceived compatibility (PC) on the relationship between TTF and PEOU was also confirmed. The study has useful practical implications for the real estate buyers and sellers that adoption of BCT improves efficiency, reduce transaction cost incur due to intermediaries, and enhance security system. Furthermore, the study suggests that automation achieved through BCT will facilitate customized agreements and improve process of title transfer.
The power of the grassroots
Authors: Hu Tingting
Published: January 2025

This article views the Three Gorges Dam as the moment of stasis brought to the century-long daily practices of Chinese people on its historically enriched land. Through Jia Zhangke’s visual poetics in Still Life, this stasis presents us with the gently emotional and minute quotidian details of lives on the brim of unprecedented change, whose uprootedness and estrangements too embody their power of agency to this massive alteration brought about by high modernization. By interpreting Still Life as a visual activist film that redeems grassroots as agents of historical change rather than recipients or victims of fundamental environmental change, this article reveals the power of Jia’s documentary-style film by decoding two modes of agency: dysfunction and the uncanny. Through the visual representations of dysfunction and the uncanny, Jia offers a potent statement on the totalizing effects of a modernization project and reveals the agency embodied in people’s daily practices.
Pleasure and unpleasure
Authors: McIntyre Faye
Published: January 2025

This article looks at Giulietta Masina’s role in Federico Fellini’s Giulietta degli spiriti and the part she plays in Fellini’s re-shaping of the oppositional stance which underpins his artistic mythos. To highlight her unique contribution to his evolving meta-narrative, this article compares the importance of taboo erotic pleasure for Masina’s character, Giulietta, and for Fellini’s male protagonists in earlier films, in their parallel efforts to defy the social prohibitions on pleasure, especially extra-marital pleasure, potentially limiting their personal liberty and self-determination. This comparison reveals the various, subtler facets of pleasure uniquely experienced by the male protagonists, which are illuminated by Freud’s understanding of the psychological contradictions at the heart of pleasure, including what Aaron Schuster calls the pleasure of pleasure’s ‘failure’. Conversely, the implications of the far less subtle, even grotesque erotic pleasures which tempt and terrify Giulietta show Fellini refining his ethos of personal liberation by extending the reach of the self into the furthest regions of prohibited pleasure, and exploring extreme, unpleasurable pleasure, or jouissance.
‘Did Blade Runner predict the future?’ (and other questions that, by contrast, we should ask)
Authors: Shanahan Timothy
Published: January 2025

Around November 2019 – the month and year in which Blade Runner ([1982] 2007) is set – the internet was awash in articles asking versions of the same question: ‘Did Blade Runner accurately predict the future?’ Commentators weighed in, assessing the extent to which the future that the film predicted had, in fact, materialized. Similarly, Blade Runner has been hailed as a prophetic film that presciently
anticipated the world in which we now live, and moreover one that has left an indelible legacy in popular culture. Appealing as such claims may be, establishing their truth is more demanding than some suppose. Once we start inquiring into such issues, other questions concerning a film’s relationship to events that predate and postdate it crowd in as well. How can we tell whether something is amongst a film’s sources? How can we determine what properly belongs to its legacy? This article examines these issues with respect to Blade Runner in particular with the aim of drawing conclusions concerning science fiction films more generally. It argues that prediction is an imposition upon science fiction; anticipations are fundamentally distinct from predictions; veridically attributing ‘sources’ and ‘legacies’ to a film requires the identification of real causal connections; and that Blade Runner's stature as a motion picture is in no need of the extravagant claims that have sometimes been made on its behalf.

Variaciones transdisciplinarias del entretejer artístico
Authors: Alfonso Bouhaben Miguel , Mateo León José Enrique
Published: January 2025

La presente investigación se basa en la construcción de un espacio de diálogo para el intercambio de experiencias perceptivas, sensibles e intelectuales en el contexto de una asignatura universitaria sobre el carácter transdisciplinar en el ámbito del arte. Para desarrollar esta experiencia, se realizó una colaboración entre un docente e investigador con estudios en arte e intereses en las condiciones epistemológicas de lo artístico, y un docente e investigador con estudios de filosofía y cine e intereses en la investigación artística. El entrecruzamiento de itinerarios docentes e investigadores generó un campo argumental de diálogo que abonó la elasticidad transdisciplinar de la tarea docente. Sobre esta base, se propuso al estudiantado una metodología de cooperaciones transdisciplinares basadas en proyectos (MCTP) con la intención de entretejer: a) el aprendizaje cooperativo, que trata de promover la participación igualitaria; b) el aprendizaje transdisciplinar, que moviliza la interacción entre saberes; y c) el aprendizaje basado en proyectos, que posibilita una extensión más allá del aula. Para implementar este método se introdujeron tres variaciones transdisciplinarias: a) diálogo con personas externas al ámbito del arte; b) trazado de alianzas entre las personas del grupo; y c) conversación conjunta de todos los participantes.
Por una educación desordenada
Authors: Akutain Ziarrusta Ainhoa
Published: January 2025

Mientras atendemos nuestro pensamiento sobre el arte, hemos de aventurarnos en otras lógicas y ponerlas en su centro de pensamiento complejo. En este caso su transmisión en las aulas. Para lo cual es necesario explorar una tensión previa: aquella que aparece entre la transmisión y la instrucción. A este respecto, la noción de desorden aplicada a esta intervención responde, no sólo al hecho de que el arte nos ha enseñado que para vivir no se puede ser conformista, sino que también no hay una definición precisa para su docencia. Si la educación pretende recoger desde el arte el peligro de la especulación formal que empieza y acaba en sí misma, no puede más que mostrarse abierta a una aspiración de experiencia.
Seminal plasma protein profiles based on molecular weight as biomarkers of sperm fertility in horned and polled Bali bulls
Authors: Mappanganro Rasyidah , Sonjaya Herry , Baco Sudirman , Hasbi Hasbi , Gustina Sri
Published: January 2025

Background and Aim: Seminal plasma proteins (SPPs) significantly influence sperm quality, playing a critical role in fertility. This study aims to investigate the molecular weight (MW) profiles of SPPs in horned and polled Bali bulls and their correlation with sperm quality parameters.

Materials and Methods: Semen samples were collected from six Bali bulls (3 horned, 3 polled). Sperm quality was evaluated based on motility, viability, abnormalities, intact membranes, and acrosomes. SPPs were extracted and analyzed using one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to determine protein MWs. Pearson’s correlation was used to analyze relationships between MW profiles and sperm quality metrics.

Results: SPPs were identified across a MW range of 15–165 kDa, with specific proteins showing strong correlations with sperm quality. Proteins at 50 and 46 kDa positively correlated with motility (r = –0.96), viability (r = –0.99), and intact membranes (r = –0.86). Conversely, proteins at 40 kDa negatively correlated with these parameters. A 25 kDa protein displayed a positive correlation with intact acrosomes (r = –0.93) and a negative correlation with abnormalities (r = –0.99). Differences in sperm quality metrics between horned and polled bulls were observed, with polled bulls exhibiting fewer abnormalities.

Conclusion: This study highlights the potential of SPP MW profiles as biomarkers of sperm quality in Bali bulls. Proteins at 50, 46, and 25 kDa are promising markers for sperm motility, viability, and intact acrosomes, respectively. These findings could inform bull selection and reproductive management strategies. Further research is recommended to validate these biomarkers using advanced proteomic approaches.

Keywords: Bali bulls, molecular weight, seminal plasma proteins, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, sperm fertility.

Processos de significação na tríade publicitária governamental “Separe o lixo e acerte na lata”
Authors: Rosa-Silva Patricia de Oliveira , De Carvalho Marcelo
Published: January 2025

Estudos anteriores que buscaram analisar a mensagem presente na campanha publicitária de Educação Ambiental do governo federal, intitulada "Separe o lixo e acerte na lata", identificaram que ela é influenciada pelo discurso ecológico oficial. Levando isso em consideração, este artigo objetiva problematizar algumas produções culturais relacionadas a esse discurso. Foi utilizada a abordagem qualitativa documental, na qual os três filmes da campanha foram assistidos e transcritos integralmente. Para auxiliar na análise, recorreu-se a autores que seguem a vertente cultural. Os resultados mostram que os filmes, ao adotarem o discurso ecológico oficial, tentam promover uma visão de reciclagem que não aborda os problemas mais urgentes relacionados à gestão de resíduos e, ao fazer isso, criam processos de significação nos espectadores, os quais podem reforçar as premissas do consumismo irresponsável, favorecendo, por sua vez, os interesses capitalistas.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo discutir a perspectiva da educação ambiental produzida em contextos comunitários, desde suas práticas e ações de caráter pedagógico que emergem de experiências comunitárias. Para tal, apresentamos o Observatório da Educação Ambiental de Base Comunitária, projeto de pesquisa e extensão universitária, organizado pelo Grupo de Estudos em Educação Ambiental desde el Sur, o GEASur, da Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, UNIRIO. O Observatório tem como principal objetivo mapear e compreender as experiências de educação ambiental ou ações pedagógicas, realizadas em comunidades periféricas, como favelas, aldeias, quilombos, assentamentos, terreiros, bibliotecas e cozinhas comunitárias, bem como unidades de conservação e outros espaços onde a educação ambiental acontece e é produzida em contextos e por sujeitos e sujeitas muitas vezes, invisibilizados. A partir do levantamento de experiências, pode-se identificar que há diversos e diferentes sentidos de comunidade e que muitas vezes, as experiências pedagógicas comunitárias carregam saberes ancestrais ou saberes autóctones das comunidades. Reconhecem-se, portanto, distintas formas e práticas do que podemos identificar como estratégias de educação ambiental de base comunitária.

Se realizó un análisis documental, de carácter exploratorio, a partir de los informes de investigación, con categorías previamente establecidas que permitieron responder a la pregunta ¿Cuáles metodologías y elementos conceptuales de la Educación Ambiental Comunitaria se ponen de manifiesto en los proyectos desarrollados por el Grupo de Investigación MICRAM? Se desarrolló en cinco (5) etapas, para cada una de éstas se estableció un objetivo. El análisis de los resultados de los informes, permite anotar que la Educación Ambiental Comunitaria, además de la participación activa de los individuos y comunidades, requiere que se plantee más allá de aspectos curriculares de los sistemas educativos estandarizados,  que responda de manera armónica a consolidar ideales y valores desde otras cosmovisiones, ayuda a develar formas de ser, estar, hacer, interactuar, reconocerse, proyectarse y transformarse de las comunidades.
La educación ambiental desde la perspectiva epistémica de territorios concertados
Authors: Bustos Velazco Edier Hernan , Sánchez Artunduaga Pompilio , Jaime Duván Reyes Roncancio
Published: January 2025

El término "Educación Ambiental" es actualmente polisémico y ha evolucionado desde su concepción inicial, centrándose en los imaginarios relacionados con el desarrollo sostenible, desde enfoques antropocéntricos hasta las ideas contemporáneas. Estas ideas han influido en las reorientaciones curriculares y nuevas pedagogías, proyectadas hacia la conformación de movimientos sociales y políticos. La presente investigación tiene como objetivo fortalecer la integración de la comunidad educativa para la institucionalización de la Educación Ambiental en la educación básica secundaria y media, desde una perspectiva epistemológica de territorios concertados. La metodología utilizada se basa en el método "Territorii", que reconoce el territorio a través de la segmentación en momentos: territorios posibles, reales, vividos y concertados. Se busca crear un espacio de formación comunitaria para formular y ejecutar proyectos que generen microtransformaciones y contribuyan al desarrollo cultural de las comunidades. Además, se resalta la necesidad de organizar e instaurar Mesas Territoriales Educativas, conformadas por los diversos actores sociales (padres de familia, docentes, estudiantes, sector económico, representantes de gobiernos locales y juntas de acción comunal), bajo un enfoque biocéntrico que priorice el pervivir.

A educação ambiental tem vindo a demonstrar uma importância crescente a nível global, incluindo no seio da Comunidade de Países de Língua Portuguesa. São Tomé e Príncipe, em particular, tem realizado um esforço no sentido da valorização deste conceito, incluindo em contexto escolar, onde é ministrado como uma disciplina. No sentido de conhecer as percepções de alunos e de professores relativamente à educação ambiental e à sua importância, foram realizadas entrevistas e analisado o conteúdo das mesmas. De uma forma geral, a importância da educação ambiental enquanto disciplina e área de enriquecimento curricular é reconhecida por alunos e professores. Segundo os professores, existe falta de condições ideais nas escolas para abordar temas relacionados com educação ambiental, mas as metodologias adotadas costumam ser semelhantes. Os temas mais valorizados por alunos e por professores têm um paralelismo com alguns dos principais problemas ambientais do país, tais como os que estão relacionados com a gestão de resíduos, a floresta ou o mar. Também a variedade de soluções avançadas parece indiciar uma consciência ambiental comum bem desenvolvida.

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy is a novel immunotherapy for the treatment of refractory malignancies. While various complications have been described previously, sclerosing cholangitis has not been reported. We report the first description of sclerosing cholangitis secondary to Tecartus CAR-T therapy in a 67-year-old man with refractory stage IV mantle cell lymphoma. As CAR-T therapy becomes increasingly used in clinical practice, it is critical to recognize potential hepatobiliary complications. Further research is needed to facilitate early diagnosis and to develop effective treatment strategies for managing these rare but severe complications.
A CONTRIBUIÇÃO DE MARCOS KAPLAN AO DEBATE MARXISTA SOBRE O ESTADO NA AMÉRICA LATINA
Authors: Granato Leonardo
Published: January 2025

Nas décadas de 1970 e 1980, em meio à disseminação das ditaduras e ao aprofundamento da dependência externa nas formações sociais da região, tiveram lugar profícuas contribuições ao debate marxista sobre o Estado das referidas sociedades. Intelectuais como Agustín Cueva, Norbert Lechner, René Zavaleta e Marcos Kaplan reivindicaram o estudo do Estado capitalista na América Latina como objeto de reflexão. Neste trabalho, por meio de uma análise bibliográfica, buscamos resgatar as principais contribuições, ao debate em questão, do referido autor Marcos Kaplan, em particular. A partir de um diálogo com a produção intelectual do autor mais representativa dentro do recorte temático proposto, inicialmente discutimos a abordagem histórico-estrutural defendida pelo autor para o estudo crítico do Estado periférico e dependente na América Latina. Posteriormente, recuperamos os traços mais marcantes da periodização da trajetória da instituição estatal na América Latina formulada por Kaplan.
Novo ensino médio e o “cidadão” como consumidor
Authors: Costa Erick
Published: January 2025

Resumo: O presente artigo pretende salientar os traços pragmáticos presentes na reforma do ensino médio e sua tentativa de desenvolver uma formação que contemple mais os interesses e projetos de vida dos alunos. Defendemos que a reforma visa atender demandas típicas do cidadão como consumidor tal como caracterizado pelo sociólogo Wolfgang Streeck. O Novo Ensino Médio pode ser visto como uma tentativa de tornar a educação mais atrativa em meio a uma sociedade pautada pela lógica de consumo. Discorremos sobre os riscos de se pensar a educação sob a ótica do utilitarismo e do investimento pessoal, sobre o caráter pragmático e a-histórico de uma educação orientada pelo desenvolvimento de competências, bem como sobre a necessidade de formar pessoas responsáveis e comprometidas com o mundo.

New High School and the “citizen” as consumer
Abstract: The present article intends to emphasize the pragmatic traits present in the High school reform and its attempt to develop a kind of training that includes more of the students interests and life projects. We defend that this reform aims to meet typical demands of the citizen as a consumer, as characterized by the sociologist Wolfgang Streeck. The new High school may be seen as an attempt to make education more attractive in a society guided by the logic of consumption. We discuss the risks of thinking education from the perspective of pragmatism and personal investment, about the pragmatic and non-historical character of an education guided by the competence development, as well as about the necessity of forming responsible people and committed with the world.

Nouvel Enseignement Secondaire et le « citoyen » en tant que consommateur
Résumé: Cet article met en évidence les aspects pratiques de la réforme de l'enseignement secondaire et son objectif de fournir une formation qui tienne davantage compte des intérêts et des projets de vie des élèves. Nous soutenons que cette réforme cherche à répondre aux attentes communes du citoyen en tant que consommateur, telles qu'identifiées par le sociologue Wolfgang Streeck. Le nouvel enseignement secondaire peut être considéré comme une tentative de rendre l'éducation plus attrayante dans une société guidée par la logique de la consommation. Nous abordons les risques associés à la perception utilitaire de l'éducation et de l'investissement personnel, ainsi que le caractère pragmatique et sans référence historique d'une éducation centrée sur le développement des compétences. Nous soulignons également l'importance de former des individus responsables et engagés dans le monde.

Vidacultura: cuidar responsablemente la vida y sus condiciones existenciales
Authors: Güitrón Torres Rafael
Published: January 2025

La vida humana es cultura que se forja en el intercambio que acontece entre los sujetos culturales enraizados en un ambiente natural. Por ello, la vida es la fuente que posibilita las potencialidades de la cultura, a partir de las condiciones que le son propias. En efecto, frente al problema ecológico hodierno, el ser humano está llamado a buscar soluciones desde el cuidado de la vida y en el respeto de los limites entrópicos de la biosfera. Asimismo, la cultura por la vida es una tarea ineludible para el hombre, desde los presupuestos histórico-biográficos, óntico-epistémicos y ambientales, bajo pena, de poner en peligro su propia existencia y la de otras especies que coexisten con nosotros en el planeta Tierra.
Ser, persona, animal. La axiología ontológica de Antonio Rosmini
Authors: Caro Plaza Ramón
Published: January 2025

El presente trabajo reconstruye la teoría axiológica de Antonio Rosmini, en base a su obra de ontología Teosofía y en confrontación a la interpretación contemporánea del autor. Desde los parámetros y desafíos de la modernidad, el filósofo justifica durante sus primeros escritos de epistemología una concepción objetiva y metafísica del conocimiento. Este recorrido desemboca en una concepción del bien como orden de la realidad, recuperando así el núcleo del paradigma clásico, que descubre en el ser mismo el criterio de la bondad. Aquí prestaremos atención a ese orden no desde un enfoque intrínseco a cada ente, sino desde uno comparativo de los diversos entes. De este modo, describiremos la jerarquía que se contempla en el cosmos, donde va a despuntar el valor del sujeto animal y la dignidad absoluta de la persona humana.
Paradigma actual del «ius ad bellum»: «¿quid pro quo?»
Authors: Rodríguez Ferro David Manuel
Published: January 2025

Este estudio pretende tratar el fundamento jurídico del conflicto armado, sus efectos globales y las reacciones al mismo partiendo de una base histórica y filosófica. Desde el origen de las sociedades hasta la sofisticación tecnológica, la guerra es inherente al ser humano. El cómo los Estados y Organizaciones Internacionales interactúan al respecto ha variado con la evolución de los conflictos y las sociedades. Se plantea si el restablecimiento o garantía de un Estado de Derecho, con especial relevancia de un Poder Judicial como su piedra angular; continúa siendo causa y fin de una intervención armada y si es asumible y justificable el conflicto armado bajo el amparo de una organización internacional que trasciende a los Estados.
Crítica de las ideas de ética y moral a la luz del octavo ODS
Authors: Jaspe Nieto Javier
Published: January 2025

El ensayo expone las ideas de ética y moral en su relación con la consecución de las metas 8.5 y 8.8 del Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible 8 de la Agenda 2030. A lo largo de este análisis se desarrolla una explicación de los posibles conflictos generados a raíz de problemas de naturaleza ética y moral en la aplicación de políticas empresariales orientadas hacia la sostenibilidad económica. Para ello, en primer lugar, define las nociones, para posteriormente enfrentarlas y, finalmente concluir soluciones como síntesis de un proceso dialéctico. En paralelo, se presentan estos términos en su correspondencia con la idea de sostenibilidad desde un contexto socioeconómico y político que parte del sistema ideológico propio de la cultura que lo genera.
