Association of Epicardial Adipose Tissue Thickness by Echocardiography With Coronary Artery Disease
Authors: Naik Surendra , Naik Nitish , Pandey Niraj , Upadhyay Ashish , Roy Ambuj
Published: June 2021

Background: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) mimics visceral fat which is
associated with metabolic derangements and coronary artery disease
(CAD). EAT volume (EAT-V) measured by CT scan had shown good correlation
with CAD. QRISK3 score is a validated risk predictor of future
cardiovascular events but has limitations. We assessed whether EAT
thickness (EAT-T) measured by echocardiography, a simple and widely
available tool, correlated with EAT-V, and whether EAT-T is a predictor
of CAD independently of QRISK3 scores. Methods: We enrolled 97 patients
who underwent CTA for evaluation of chest pain. EAT-T was measured by
2D-echocardiography in parasternal long axis (PLAX) and parasternal
short axis (PSAX) views. We evaluated association of EAT-T with EAT-V
and CAD (≥50% stenosis on CTA); and independent predictive value of
EAT-T for CAD after adjusting for QRISK 3 scores. Results: EAT-T was
significantly more in patients with CAD (PLAX: 4.82 ± 1.31 mm vs. 4.06 ±
1.25 mm, p=0.005). EAT-T correlated strongly with EAT-V (r=0.75,
p<0.001). On receiver operating characteristic curve analysis,
EAT-T (PLAX) ≥3.9 mm (area-under-curve: 0.68; 95% CI: 0.58-0.79,
sensitivity 84%, specificity 55%) predicted the presence of CAD. On
multivariate analysis after adjusting for QRISK 3 scores, EAT-T showed
significant association with CAD with highest odds ratio for indexed
EAT-T (EAT-T/body surface area) (PLAX) ≥2.2 mm/m2 (OR 5.40; 95% CI:
2.17-13.55.; p<0.001). Conclusion: EAT-T is a predictor of CAD
independent of QRISK3 scores. An increased EAT-T detected CAD with
>80% sensitivity. These findings need to be validated in
larger prospective cohort studies.

El Museo va al Recreo
Authors: Pitrola Cecilia
Published: June 2021

El proyecto “El Museo va al Recreo” es una experiencia de juego y participación infantil desarrollada entre el Museo del Juguete de San Isidro y escuelas públicas primarias de San Isidro que obtuvo el Premio Iberoamericano de Educación y Museos en su VIII Edición. Luego de describir sus etapas, se despliega el marco institucional y el contexto en el que surge, así como la mirada sobre la infancia y las ideas que lo fundamentan. Considerando que es un proyecto de carácter educativo y de impronta comunitaria que nace del área de Comunidad del Museo, se abre el interrogante sobre la inclusión de niños y niñas, desde una perspectiva de derechos, en la idea de “comunidad” que manejan los museos. Finalmente, el concepto de “performatividad” de Carla Pinochet Cobos sirve para pensar la forma en que “El Museo va al Recreo” conjuga y desdibuja los conceptos de “educación” y “comunidad”, así como los límites del propio Museo.

The greenhouse effect and its impacts on environment
Authors:   Kamensk technological institute affiliation SRSPU NPI named after M.I. Platov, Kamensk-Shakhtinskiy, Russian Federation, Scherban’ A. V.
Published: June 2021

The buildup of so-called «greenhouse gases» in the atmosphere - CO2 in particular-appears to be having an adverse impact on the global climate. This article briefly reviews current expectations with regard to physical and biological effects, their potential costs to society, and likely costs of abatement. For a «worst case» scenario it is impossible to assess, in economic terms, the full range of possible non-linear synergistic effects. In the «most favorable» case, however, it seems likely that the impacts are within the «affordable» range, at least in the industrialized countries of the world. In the «third world» the notion of affordability is of doubtful relevance, making the problem of quantitative evaluation almost impossible.
Assessment of decoupling level in the agricultural sector of the Rostov region in the context of land and water use resources
Authors:   Don State Technical University, Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation, Polyakov V. V.
Published: June 2021

One of the defining concepts in the process of studying the problems of ecological and economic interaction is increasingly so-called "decoupling", which implies the elimination of the contradiction between the possibilities of ensuring economic growth and reducing the level of environmental impact. The most important area of management, in which the achievement of decoupling effect is extremely important in terms of reducing the consumption of natural resources, is agricultural production. In this regard, the article assesses the level of resource decoupling in the agricultural sector of the Rostov region.

The Effect of Divided Government and The Incumbent Leader on The Economic Growth in Indonesia
Authors: Nairobi Nairobi , Ambya Ambya
Published: June 2021

Purpose:The purpose of this research is to know the effect of the divided government and the incumbent government on the economic growth in regions and cities in Indonesia.

Methodology:This research uses 157 regions and cities which had run the regional election in June till August in 2005 as the sample. This is due to the perception of how the regional election had just begun in 2005 while the next and the upcoming election were held in 2010. By far, the data is taken until the end of 2010 to picture the progress of the governmental performance during the period of the leadership of the incumbent leader.

Main Findings:As a result, it is found that the incumbent leader has a negative effect on economic growth. This can be seen on the differences between the area with the new leader and the incumbent leader. There are several causes that lead to these results. First, it shows that the voters have not yet evaluated the performance during the leadership period. Second, because the incumbent leader is in the last period of their leadership, they tend to maximize their personal and their group interest, as well as their party, which is resulted to the ignorance of economic growth.

Another key finding is that divided government has no effect on economic growth. In Indonesia, the regional leader anticipates the issue of the divided government by doing accommodative politics for the representative member of the regional house (DPRD). Instead of only becoming the checker and balancing power, this action is taken to support all the actions of the regional leader. Thus, it is confirmed that there is no difference between the divided or unified government.
Investor Sentiment and Mispricing Anomalies
Authors: Dai Jiarui
Published: June 2021

This paper attempts to investigate the effect of investor sentiment on mispricing anomalies, including value premium, earnings to price, gross profitability, operating profitability, return to assets, and V/P ratio. Via bi-variate analysis and regression analysis, I find these anomalies are stronger in the periods with higher investor sentiment. The effect is robust after controlling for Fama-French three factors. The results are consistent with the idea that investors are more likely to misprice stocks when investor sentiment is high, leading stronger mispricing anomalies in such higher investor sentiment periods. The limitation of this study is that it only includes tests for six misplacing anomalies and does not cover the detection of a large number of anomalies.

The value of this study is it is the first study to investigate the effect of investor sentiment on V/P anomaly and to explore these misplacing anomalies as a whole. More importantly, through this study, I actually tested the impact of investor sentiment on investor valuation accuracy.

For industrial applications, additive manufacturing becomes more and more important due to its unrivaled design and materials freedom. In this light, additively manufactured polymer-polymer sliding combinations gain increasing interest for manifold tribological applications. This potential can be fully exploited, e.g., by using tribologically tailored compounds. For additive manufacturing not only the sliding combinations but also the understanding of the influence of printing parameters are important. Thus, this work is a first investigation of commercially available tribological compounds regarding their wear behavior by means of the ball-prism wear test. On that basis, influences of printing orientation and material combination on the wear behavior are investigated. In addition, interactions of these parameters will be discussed. Finally, the challenges of test specimen production as well as wear measurements are considered.
The Effect of the Covid‑19 Pandemic on Students and the Living and Learning Spaces at a South African University
Authors: Kanyumba Blessing , Shabangu Nondumiso
Published: June 2021

In March 2020, the South African President Mr Cyril Ramaphosa announced a national lockdown due to the rising cases of the Covid‑19 pandemic. As a result, some of the higher education institutions closed under lockdown level 5 and strategies had to be developed to adapt to the “new norm”. Consequently, students and the living and learning spaces in South Africa were affected, necessitating therefore that transformation in all spheres takes place. This study, through a qualitative research design, investigated the effect of Covid‑19 on students and the living and learning spaces at a selected university in South Africa. Fifteen students and ten Residence Advisors (RAs) were telephonically interviewed. The results revealed that the living and learning spaces had been significantly transformed by the Covid‑19 pandemic. The operations of these spaces had been compelled to change in order to comply with the Covid‑19 regulations, such that student learning was shifted from face-to-face to online learning. This meant more time spent indoors, stricter measures now in place and the RA roles having been broadened to ensure that they also monitor compliance. The study also noted that even after the pandemic, things will still take time to get back to normal. This article concludes that Covid‑19 has had a huge effect on the living and learning spaces as well as students at the selected university and that both students and staff should play their roles effectively to ensure that everyone remains safe.
The Impact of the Covid‑19 Pandemic on Student Affairs Practitioners: A Reflective Case Study from Bindura University of Science Education in Zimbabwe

The Covid‑19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on faculty and student affairs practitioners which has changed the future of higher education worldwide. This reflective practitioner account looks into its impact on practitioners working in student affairs, some of which is not immediately visible, but unfortunately very significant and will surface in the medium and long term. There has been tremendous uncertainty for Student Affairs practitioners as a result of disruption from familiar routines and unexpected disengagement with their clients, the students. The change management perspective and scholarship of practice were adopted as methods of observing how a department in a university deals with unplanned change. The study concluded that the Covid‑19 pandemic impacted practitioners negatively at the case university as new skills were required, practitioners were required to adjust to new work arrangements, lost income, suffered mental health problems and faced resource constrains. Training and development, social media, employee support systems and employee incentives were catalysts in the early adoption of change.
Inclusion in Times of Covid‑19: The Case of International Students in South Africa
Authors: Chasi Samia , Quinlan Orla
Published: June 2021

The Covid‑19 pandemic has caused major disruptions to the teaching, learning and research functions of universities around the globe. It has also impacted their internationalisation efforts in significant ways. From the perspective of South Africa’s public higher education sector, this article reflects on how international students at the country’s universities have been affected by national and institutional responses to Covid‑19. It highlights the specific challenges and constraints international students faced in light of Covid‑19 related restrictions such as travel bans, university closures and the national lockdown. In doing so, several aspects of the international student experience are explored, specifically regarding travelling home, communication, accommodation and immigration. The article also addresses the issue of remote learning and academic continuity, arguing that international students, especially those who were outside the borders of South Africa, are at risk of being left behind. It advocates for the inclusion of international students in national and institutional considerations and plans for the successful completion of the 2020 academic year. The article recognises that, in the absence of coordinated national responses, institutional approaches to the treatment of international students have differed from one university to another. Such differences can be linked to the differentiated nature of the South African higher education sector, where the capacity of institutions to deal with Covid‑19 related challenges and to respond comprehensively to the needs of different groups of international students varies in accordance with the availability of relevant structures, systems, digital platforms and other resources. As a reflective practitioner account, the article draws on the experience of the authors in higher education internationalisation as well as on the collective experience of a community of practice of the International Education Association of South Africa, which represents the majority of public universities in the country.
FINANCIAL RISKS AND STOCK MARKET CRASHES: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF THE TUNISIAN STOCK MARKET
Authors: Hammami Haifa , Boujelbene Younes
Published: June 2021

This study aims to investigate the effect of financial risks on the stock market crashes occurrence from 1999 to 2020. Using the windows method, we detect two stock market crises in the Tunisian stock market. Based on the probit model, we find evidence that low stock return risk, low EUR/TND exchange rate risk, high interest rate risk, high credit risk and high liquidity risk increase the occurrence probability of stock market crashes. Our results suggest that the decrease in volatility, particularly in equity and exchange market, the increase in volatility in interest rate, the credit rating downgrades issued by Moody’s and the low liquidity market contribute to crashes in the Tunisian stock market. In summary, financial risks, which are the market risks, the credit risk and the liquidity risk could be leading indicators of crashes in the Tunisian stock market.

ECOLIGICAL APPROACH IN IMPROVING EFFICIENCY OF INDUCTRIAL METHOD OF OBTAINING AQUACULTURE PRODUCTS
Authors: Gridina Tatyana Sergeevna , Geraskin Peter Petrovich
Published: June 2021

The article considers using the latest technologies with recirculation aquaculture systems (RAS), which allows growing aquaculture objects at high seeding densities all year round. However, it has a number of difficulties and, first of all, the need to purify water from metabolites. An alternative to RAS technology is an ecological approach to growing aquaculture products, which is implemented by us using the artificial eco-systems or, otherwise, agrohydroecosystems based on RAS. An experiment was carried out on the joint cultivation of a sterlet × beluga hybrid with tilapia in an aquaponic module of an integrated storey unit (IED); an increase in the mass accumulation coefficient and average daily growth rate of fish was noted. Due to the right choice of parameters that satisfy the conditions for growing all experimental objects application of IED technology allows obtaining a high increase in the mass of aquatic organisms and additional products per unit area (lettuce, strawberries). The introduction of a hydroponics block into the system reduces the amount of nitrogenous substances in the medium, while an even greater effect can be achieved by adding a microbiological preparation (culture liquid) into the system. When using an IED, raw materials and energy are consumed most efficiently, with a minimum impact on the envi-ronment.

Authors: Obukhova Olga Valentinovna , Lartseva Lyubov Vladimirovna
Published: June 2021

The article highlights the study of the sanitary and ecological features of acinetobac-teria,which were isolated from the water and fish in the Volga Delta in the period from 1987 up to 2010. Today, these bacteria are among the most dangerous pathogens for people, especially in hospitals. They can exist in hydroecosystems and interact with aquatic biota. There were analyzed 96 beluga species; 295 sturgeon species; 217 stellate sturgeon species; 50 sterlet species; 173 carp species; 447 zander species; 638 water samples in the fishing areas. There were examined the fish, parenchymal organs, intestines, gills, blood, gonads (in sturgeon), and muscle tissues. Pathogenicity factors were taken into account: growth at 37°C, fermentation of hemolysin, protease, lecithinase, catalase; viability in 3.0; 7.0; 10.0% broth with NaCl. It is shown that the occurrence of Acinetobacter in water ranged from 3.0 to 16.7%; in fish-from 4.6 to 10.5% of samples of the entire isolated microflora. Inferior to the dominant enterobacteria and aeromonads, acinetobacteria isolated from water and fish had all the analyzed pathogenicity factors, especially catalase activity. In combination with halophilicity, these bacteria can be preserved in fish when stored frozen and as salted fish products.

Urologic trauma is frequently reported in patients with penetrating trauma. Currently, the computerized tomography and vascular approach through angiography/embolization are the standard approaches for renal trauma. However, the management of renal or urinary tract trauma in a patient with hemodynamic instability and criteria for emergency laparotomy, is a topic of discussion. This article presents the consensus of the Trauma and Emergency Surgery Group (CTE) from Cali, for the management of penetrating renal and urinary tract trauma through damage control surgery. Intrasurgical perirenal hematoma characteristics, such as if it is expanding or actively bleeding, can be a reference for deciding whether a conservative approach with subsequent radiological studies is possible. However, if there is evidence of severe kidney trauma, surgical exploration is mandatory and entails a high probability of requiring a nephrectomy. Urinary tract damage control should be conservative and deferred because this type of trauma does not represent a risk in acute trauma management.

Objetivo: Comparar as técnicas crosslinking e segmento de anel intracorneano para tratamento de ceratocone na população pediátrica. Revisão bibliográfica: O ceratocone é uma doença que causa alteração da forma da córnea, que adquire o formato de cone, podendo causar miopia, astigmatismo e deficiências visuais no indivíduo acometido. A doença geralmente tem início na puberdade, e evolui até a adultez. Duas técnicas podem ser usadas na terapêutica do ceratocone nos pacientes pediátricos: crosslinking e segmento de anel intracorneano. O crosslinking é um procedimento cirúrgico minimamente invasivo, que faz o uso de luz ultravioleta, e que tem como objetivo a estabilização da doença, evitando a sua progressão. O segmento de anel intracorneano, por sua vez, é uma técnica para remodelamento da córnea, na qual é implantado um anel, que diminui os erros de refração e causa a melhora da regularidade da superfície da córnea. Considerações finais: Pode-se inferir que o crosslinking é a melhor técnica para tratamento da ceratocone na população pediátrica, devido ao seu melhor prognóstico e segurança e às características negativas do uso do segmento de anel nesses indivíduos, tais como imprevisibilidade, agressividade e baixa adesão. Entretanto, mais estudos são necessários acerca do tema para uma conclusão mais fidedigna.

Background. COVID-19 infection keeps changing our understanding of its clinical course when associated with various somatic diseases. Objective. To present a clinical case of a patient with non-specific ulcerative colitis (NUC) and COVID-19 infection. Material and methods: medical documentation, general clinical, laboratory and instrumental data as well as histological examination of bioptates stained with hematoxylin and eosin that were obtained during colonoscopy. Results. The article presents a case history of a patient with manifestations of severe total NUC developed in association with the subclinical form of COVID-19 infection, the former being the cause of death in concomitant pathology. Conclusions. This clinical case describes a variant of an unfavorable outcome of NUC, one of the reasons for the manifestation of which was the atypical form of COVID-19 infection, which became a trigger for an autoimmune inflammatory process in the intestine. The accumulation of new knowledge about the features of the pathogenesis and manifestations of both pathologies will make it possible to improve the effectiveness of treatment and predict the course and outcomes of combined pathology.
The Effect of Elastic Resistance Band Training on Postural Control and Body Composition in Sedentary Women
Authors: KOCAOĞLU Yağmur , ERKMEN Nurtekin
Published: June 2021

This study aimed to analyze the effects of an 8-week training with the elastic resistance bands on body composition and postural control in sedentary women. Thirty-four female sedentary university students participated in the study based on voluntariness. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups: The experimental group and the control group. The experimental group performed an 8-week elastic resistance band training. Body composition measurements included the body weight, body mass index, body fat percentage, skinfold thicknesses, and circumferences. The Overall Stability Index and limit of stability were measured to evaluate postural performance using the Biodex Balance System. The overall stability index scores were evaluated for two conditions: Eye-open and eye-closed. After the training, body weight, the circumferences of waist, upper arm, and calf significantly increased (p<0.05) although there was no change in the circumferences of the hip, thigh, shoulder, and chest (p>0.05). The skinfold thicknesses and body fat percentage decreased in the experimental group (p<0.05). The training caused the overall stability index scores to reduce in eye-open and eye-closed conditions. There was no significant difference in the limit of stability scores (p>0.05). In conclusion, these results show that elastic resistance band exercise could increase postural control and body composition in sedentary women. Also, the results suggest that the training might lower sedentary women’s body fat by increasing muscle mass.

Em Dom Casmurro, narrativa contemporânea Ã quela, Bento Santiago tenta “atar as duas pontas da vida” enquanto rememora o caminho que levou a um “assassinato” social da esposa desterrada. Neste artigo procurei me debruçar sobre a revisitação dessas experiências traumáticas por seus perpetuadores Ã  luz, especialmente, de Shoshana Felman, que analisa julgamentos reais e literários de feminicídios íntimos afastados e recentes; do convite de Roberto Schwarz Ã  desconfiança pelo leitor machadiano; e das teorizações de Sigmund Freud, Lacan e Ricoeur sobre trauma e memória. Tudo isso Ã  sombra, é claro, do entendimento do contexto de uma incipiente emancipação feminina na sociedade burguesa do final do século XIX cujo julgamento favorável a O. J. Simpson prova uma insatisfatoriamente lenta evolução.
A VIOLÊNCIA, A FIGURA FEMININA INDÍGENA E A CALIGRAFIA DE DEUS, DE MÁRCIO SOUZA
Authors: Ferreira Cacio José , Bottos Jr Norival
Published: June 2021

Este artigo discute a temática da mulher indígena no estado do Amazonas a partir do arcabouço teórico advindo das relações de gênero, de feminicídio e diáspora no texto A Caligrafia de Deus (2007), de Márcio Souza. A narrativa expõe o modo como a mulher indígena é submetida a uma intricada rede de articulações de poder e de patriarcado. Dessa forma, são evidenciadas como as relações de gênero dão vazão Ã  posse do corpo e da mente do “outro” e de como as relações de poder surgem a partir das questões de gênero, sobretudo, por meio da cultura, que se torna historicamente modificada na episteme contemporânea por novas articulações de controle e de exercício de dominação.
O PAPA EM TEMPOS PANDÊMICOS: ANÁLISE DO DISCURSO DE FRANCISCO DURANTE A PANDEMIA DA COVID-19
Authors: Marquim Gabriel Nogueira Linhares
Published: June 2021

Este trabalho analisa o discurso mobilizado pelo papa Francisco em diferentes momentos durante a pandemia da covid-19, que assolou todo o mundo. Através das abordagens teóricas e metodológicas da Análise do Discurso de linha francesa (AD), especialmente dos estudos de Pêcheux (1995, 1999) e comentadores, como Orlandi (2007), Mussalim e Bentes (2003) e Fernandes (2007), articulamos conceitos como ideologia, posição-sujeito, formações ideológicas e discursivas. Por fim, demonstramos como o pontífice articula suas formações discursivas, sendo elas “religiosa” e “política”, dentro de sua visão poliédrica da realidade e do catolicismo.
IMIGRANTES E MASCATES DE B. KUCINSKI: UMA REFLEXÃO SOBRE A GRAVIDADE DOS PROBLEMAS DE MIGRAÇÃO E REFÚGIO NA ATUALIDADE
Authors: Schwantes Cíntia Carla Moreira , Celestino Graciane Cristina Mangueira , Santos Júlio Edstrom Secundino
Published: June 2021

Este artigo procura demonstrar a relevância do tema dos migrantes forçados e refugiados, que é considerada a maior crise humanitária da atualidade, já que há mais de 65 milhões de pessoas vivendo em condições de extremo desamparo no mundo, através do diálogo com a obra literária infanto-juvenil Imigrantes e mascates de Bernardo Kucinski. Para tanto foi utilizado o método hipotético dedutivo e análise discursiva para apontar a seriedade da necessidade de proteção e promoção dos refugiados que chegam ao Brasil, através da integração dos fenômenos literários e jurídicos que servem de base para reflexões da própria sociedade brasileira.
A relação com os seres espirituais na festa Garpiéhj Náe entre os Ikólóéhj Gavião de Rondônia
Authors: Káv Sona Gavião Iram
Published: June 2021

Desde o início da invasão neste continente ameríndio, todas as sociedades originárias sofreram um impacto muito grande na sua língua, cultura e religião. Assim também aconteceu com o povo Ikólóéhj Gavião. Os não indígenas não só invadiram a nossa terra, como também invadiram a nossa cultura. Por isso, para mim e para o meu povo, o tema “festas tradicionais” é fundamental para entender a importância desta prática como um momento de fortalecimento da união, reciprocidade, solidariedade e harmonia entre seres humanos e seres espirituais. Neste artigo, descrevo sucintamente a festa Garpiéhj Náe para levar ao conhecimento das novas gerações Ikólóehj, que não a vivenciaram, e da sociedade não indígena que já passa mais de quinhentos anos impondo suas práticas culturais aos povos originários do país que foi chamado Brasil, como se estes povos não tivessem cultura.
ensino da língua tukano que não fala
Authors: Sanches Barreto Silvio
Published: June 2021

Este texto convida a reflexionar sobre o ensino da língua materna para a criança indígena enquanto ser em formação pertencente a uma etnia. O objetivo foi de analisar o processo histórico do funcionamento e a pedagogia de ensino no município de Manaus. O referencial teórico desta pesquisa foi embasado no teor dos direitos indígenas e direitos fundamentais segundo a Constituição Brasileira de 1988, no que se refere ao artigo 231. O conjunto da legislação nacional dispõe a respeito do direito dos povos indígenas a uma educação diferenciada, para que os povos originários mantenham sua cultura viva, de forma articulada e planejada com órgãos governamentais das três esferas de governos. Quanto Ã  metodologia,foi adotada uma abordagem qualitativa com pesquisa de campo, utilizando questionário fechado e entrevista semiestruturada. Os resultados apontam que os Centros Municipais funcionam de modo irregular, mas precisa-se ser revisto o ensino da língua tukano para não continuar o ensino da língua materna que não fala. Quando chega certa idade, tem vergonha e chegou uma conclusão aproximada ou equivocada de que somente os adultos que valorizam sua cultura, mesmo estando longe das aldeias e fora de suas origens, mantém a cultura viva, mesmo no contexto urbano. Uma situação preocupante para a próxima geração urbana, uma geração de ouvintes, mesmo sendo filhos dos próprios falantes. A língua é um dos elementos culturais para afirmação de identidade, para a unidade social.
Teaching and learning STEM disciplines
Authors: Cazalis Roland
Published: June 2021

STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, mathematics), have the particular feature of being based on theoretical and practical skills. Learning in the laboratory naturally focuses on the student who must do or create something, alone or in a small group, while benefiting from the teacher's supervision to gain good practices. In this context, the project’s status at the end of the session enables the students to assess the quality of their works themselves. During the project’s development process, they face the resistance of the problem that requires a solution. They use their know-how, mobilize the knowledge acquired in all areas of life, and solicit the resources of their group to optimize cognitive resources. Discoveries during the process and the project’s completion, together with the repetition of the exercises, provide intense pleasure and boost self-esteem. The next challenge is to transpose the dynamics from the laboratory to the hall. This challenge is reinforced by the emergence of a new generation of students, for whom interacting with the Internet and virtual agents is a natural part of their lives. In this perspective, Whitehead's thinking remains a resource that reminds us of what is essential in the educational process. It allows us to preserve this essential in today’s societal change. We show that the educational process has two important dimensions. The first relates to a crucial event in the individuation process, namely, the advent of a phenomenon of synesthesia in the subject, in the form of an acute awareness of what is important to her or him. This event is a turning point in the student's life. The second relates to the methodology, which, in Whitehead's case, takes the form of the ternary rhythm of education. We illustrate these two dimensions in a biology teaching project we call inverted funnel. Inspired by Whiteheadian pedagogy, the project takes advantage of the dynamics of romance-precision-generalization, and we hope that it will contribute to the emergence of the turning point in the student. This event is the very starting point of the educational process, the one that leads to the very nature of the learner. Such watershed not only purports to determine the direction of her or his educational process, but also that of his or her entire life.
Canalization and Creative Evolution
Authors: Posteraro Tano
Published: June 2021

Whitehead famously wrote that the status of life in nature constituted the modernproblem both of philosophy and science. But Bergson could just as easily have penned thosewords. Indeed, his Creative Evolution stands as one of the most serious engagements with theproblem of life in recent philosophical history. Life, for Bergson, was to be thought of as a kindof impetus, a drive or force. But he insisted that this was only an image borrowed frompsychology, the best one available, but an image no less. This is because images are essential tothe organization of scientific discourse and practice. We think through them, use them not onlyas explanatory aids, but as callipers first: without them, we are unable to grasp and articulate ourobjects of study, even before the endeavour to communicate what it is that we have managed tograsp. Perhaps most famous of the various images that animate Creative Evolution is that of thecanal, or canalization. It is striking that this image managed to find its way, through Whitehead’sProcess and Reality, into modern embryology, where it continues to serve as an image for theway epigenetic landscapes operate in order to bring about, or canalize, a small number of endresults form a large number of developmental potentialities.This paper briefly traces the history of that image from out of Bergson’s philosophy oflife, through Whitehead’s creative metaphysical appropriation of it, and into the embryology ofC.H. Waddington. In order to make sense of that history, I do three things: first, I situate theimage of the canal in Bergson’s Creative Evolution, elucidating its context and aims; second, Idemonstrate its utility for Whitehead’s metaphysics, the new purposes for which it was deployed;and third, I argue that it was this latter reconfiguration of the concept that prepared it for itsenlistment as a key moment in embryological explanation.I claim that the canal occupies a privileged position in Bergson’s philosophy of life, for itis an image of life that is turned against itself as an image, meant to demonstrate the limits ofimagistic thought. I conclude the paper with a series of comments on this suggestion: that it wasthe image of the canal that found its way into modern embryology tells us something importantabout the relation between science and philosophy, or between image and imagination, matterand life. On these points, Bergson and Whitehead converge on a novel philosophy of nature thatis capable both of responding to scientific discoveries as well as of accommodating them withinan enlarged process-oriented metaphysics.

Algunos problemas con la noción de Sur Global
Authors: Binaghi Emilio
Published: June 2021

Este artículo pretende revisar de manera crítica algunas de las tesis centrales a la noción de “Sur Global”. Se aborda un resumen de dicha tesis y se propone un abordaje de “alteridades globales” que permite resolver los problemas teóricos de la noción “Sur Global”, en particular, la vocación subordinante que se encuentra en el centro de la misma. Así, surge una propuesta vinculada a a noción de traducción y a la figura de lenguaraz como horizonte de vinculación entre los saberes de manera no hegemónica.

¿Filosofía o no-filosofía?: ésa no es la cuestión.
Authors: Solas Silvia
Published: June 2021

A través de la expresión “filosofía / no filosofía” Merleau-Ponty pretende dar cuenta del estado crítico de la filosofía de su tiempo ”“que tal vez todavía sea el nuestro-; se trata de  poner de manifiesto una cuestión que se encuentra encarnada en su propia escritura y que, si bien aparece con mayor fuerza en sus últimas reflexiones, es pasible de encontrarse ”“de modo más o menos explícito- a lo largo de toda su obra: la imposibilidad de la filosofía ”“es decir, de los discursos filosóficos consagrados- de dar cuenta de nuestra real experiencia en el mundo. Así, se pone de relieve la necesidad de instituir una ontología de lo sensible que ”“a la manera de (esto es “según”) la pintura- se aparte de la transparencia propia del pensamiento tradicional para dejar emerger la opacidad propia de nuestra contingencia constitutiva. Intentaremos en este trabajo sintetizar esta perspectiva que pone en perspectiva el gran problema de la “visibilidad” y que subraya la necesidad de “pensar lo impensado”.
