Myasthenia Gravis and Ischemic Stroke: A Bidirectional Mendelian
Randomization Study
Authors: Liu Chen , Mao Chengyuan , Li Shen , Su Yun , Liu Hongbing , Wang Xin , Liu Weishi , Zhao Jiawei , Liu Xuyang , Xu Yuming
Published: July 2023

Background:

Autoimmune diseases are associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular
diseases. However, whether myasthenia gravis (MG) and ischemic stroke (IS) are causally
related remains unclear.

Objective:

This study aimed to evaluate potential causal links between MG and IS using bidirectional
Mendelian randomization (MR).

Methods:

We conducted a two-sample MR analysis to assess the potential associations between
MG and IS. Genetic variants associated with MG and IS as well as their subtypes were extracted
from genome-wide association studies by meta-analysis. The inverse-variance weighted method
was used for the main MR analysis. Sensitivity analyses, including the MREgger, simple mode,
simple median, weighted mode, and weighted median approaches were applied to test the robustness
of the results.

Results:

The MR analyses indicated no causal effects of general MG on IS of all causes (odds ratio
[OR] = 0.990, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.953-1.029, p = 0.615), large vessel atherosclerosis
stroke (OR = 0.943, 95% CI: 0.856-1.039, p = 0.233), cardioembolic stroke (OR = 0.975, 95% CI:
0.867-1.096, p = 0.670), and small vessel occlusion stroke (OR = 1.059, 95% CI 0.974-1.150, p =
0.178). Subgroup analyses indicated no causal effects of early- or late-onset MG on IS and its subtypes
(all p > 0.05). The reverse MR analysis showed no significant causal associations of IS on
MG (all p > 0.05).

Conclusion:

Bidirectional MR analysis did not provide evidence to support a causal relationship
between genetically predicted MG and IS, although observational studies have found such a potential
link.
Hyper-coagulopathy State in COVID-19: A Pivotal Challenge
Authors: Goshay Fard Najmeh Nameh , Vaghf Atena , Torfi Ekhlas , Shahrabi Saeid , Pezeshki Seyed Mohammad Sadegh
Published: July 2023

Background:

The novel SARS-CoV-2 has caused a global pandemic. COVID-19 infec-tion is described by the adverse impact on the population’s health and economy. Coagulopathy is associated with various thrombotic complications and disease severity. Therefore, this review aims to elucidate the pathophysiology of this coagulopathy.

Methods:

Relevant English language literature was searched and retrieved from the Google Scholar search engine and PubMed database. We used “COVID-19”, “SARS-CoV-2”, “Coagulopathy”,
“Thrombosis”, “Anticoagulation”, and “ARDS” as keywords.

Results:

Several studies showed that the primary targets of SARS-CoV-2 are pneumocytes, immune cells, and vascular endothelial cells. Coagulopathy appears to induce more thrombotic complica-tions than hemorrhagic events. The critically ill patients stimulate the coagulopathy state and thrombosis complication through cytokine storm, systemic inflammation, complement cascade, and platelets. Accordingly, thromboembolic complications cause mortality among COVID-19-infected patients and can negatively affect disease management outcomes and treatment.

Conclusion:

A pivotal clinical feature of acute COVID-19 infection is coagulopathy and prothrom-botic events, which are associated with excessive arterial and venous thrombosis, microvascular thrombosis, and adverse clinical outcomes. Therefore, adopting an approach for preventing, treat-ing, and reducing thrombotic and bleeding events in these patients is necessary.

Authors: MacDonald Rebecca , Wiebe Carol , Comeau Gilles
Published: July 2023

The arts offer many health benefits and can be especially impactful in hospital or continuing care facilities through group art interventions or personalized art activities. Arts can also be socially prescribed to fulfill social needs, improve emotional well-being, and have a positive impact of the social determinants of heath. This feasibility study explores the value of a pilot program that brought personalized virtual 1-on-1 art performances to residents in long-term care (LTC) during the Covid-19 pandemic which limited social activities and caused feelings of uncertainty and stress for many people. The purpose of this study was to document the process of developing and executing this pilot program, to evaluate its feasibility, and to provide a testimony to the benefits of art programs in LTC. This study qualifies as a feasibility study because it aimed to evaluate the quality, efficiency, and financial feasibility of the pilot project, making the primary objective of this research quality improvement. Online surveys were completed by the participating LTC residents, the Recreation Staff in the LTC facility, the hired artists, and the organizing team (Radical Connections). The results of the surveys strongly indicate that the pilot was successful and proved to be viable; the sessions were high quality, person-centered artistic care was made accessible to a vulnerable population at a sustainable cost, and most importantly, a demand for this type of program was revealed.

Published: July 2023

The cytotoxic impact of biosynthetic zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) was investigated using Vitex agnus-castus, which has been shown to have Effective compounds that suppress cancer cell proliferation. Zinc oxide nanoparticles were biosynthesized in the laboratories of the Biology department /College of Education for the Pure Sciences /University of Diyala. The phenotypic and structural characteristics of biosynthetic nanoparticles were identified using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The majority of ZnONPs are dense and spherical in shape, with diameters ranging from (20-61) nm, and were discovered on the cervical cancer cell line Hela and compared to the normal line Human Foreskin Fibroblast cells (HFF) using the MTT stain test (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium ). Cytotoxicity experiments were conducted at the Iraqi Center for Cancer Research / Al-Mustansiriya University. This study showed inhibitory activity on Hela cervical cancer cells, where the highest inhibition rate reached 93.6% at a concentration of 200 µg/ml. This raises the prospect of finding a viable therapy for cervical cancer (Hela) or any other malignancy using nanoparticle manufacturing technologies.

Relationship between Toll-like Receptors and Pathogenesis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Authors: Ahmed Ratib Basma , Mohammed Saud Asmaa
Published: July 2023

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by a loss of self-antigen tolerance and the development of high titers of serum autoantibodies, with a wide range of clinical manifestations and complex etiologies. Its etiology is influenced by various genetic, hormonal, immunologic, and environmental factors. SLE affects around 90% of women of reproductive age. The study aims to evaluate the serum levels of Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) in a sample of Iraqi SLE patients and its potential relationship with other clinical and laboratory parameters. The study included 100 female patients and 50 healthy females with an age range of (16-65) years old and healthy individuals with an age range of (16-65) years old and mean ages of (35.72 ±11.66 and 35.72 ±11.66) respectively. The current study is performed to estimate the serum levels of (TLR7, ANA, Urea, creatinine, and Vitamin D3) and a laboratory investigation for ESR, hemoglobin, and white blood cells by using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)and automated Fujifilm. Serum levels of TLR7 were increased in the SLE patients compared to the control, and a significant difference has been observed (P≤0.01) among SLE patients compared to the control. Urea, creatinine, and ESR were significantly higher; at the same time, the Vitamin D3, hemoglobin, and white blood cells were significantly lower (p< 0.01) among SLE patients as compared to control. On the other hand, there was no evidence of any correlation between TLR7 serum level and disease laboratory investigation.

Technology Acceptance of a Social Robot (LOVOT) Among Single Older Adults in Hong Kong and Singapore: Protocol for a Multimethod Study
Authors: Tan Cheng Kian Kelvin , Lou Vivian W Q , Cheng Clio Yuen Man , He Phoebe Chu , Mor Yan Ying
Published: July 2023

Background

Given the rapidly aging nature of our global population, policy makers around the world are now emphatically promoting active aging. To address the psychosocial needs of older persons and support active aging, researchers are exploring the use of assistive technologies, specifically social robots as companions. However, there is limited evidence on the efficacy of social robots in promoting active aging for older people in the Hong Kong and Singapore contexts.

Objective

This study presents the protocol of a study that investigates the acceptance and quality of interaction between a Japanese social robot, LOVOT, and single older adults in Hong Kong and Singapore.

Methods

We used a baseline assessment to measure the primary outcome, participants’ acceptance of technology, and a sense of loneliness, namely, the participants’ differences in responses to LOVOT before and following their interaction with the social robot in this multimethod study design. The baseline assessment consisted of the Qualtrics survey, which measures senior technology acceptance, loneliness, older people’s quality of life, subjective happiness, cultural values, willingness to pay, and demographic characteristics, along with the LOVOT’s sociability and system usability. In the study, participants interacted with LOVOT in 3 sessions before being surveyed to measure the older people’s acceptance and attitudes toward LOVOT. A pre–social robot intervention also occurred in the first session. The study was conducted in both Hong Kong and Singapore. A total of 15 single older adults (ie, individuals who live alone) from Hong Kong and another 15 from Singapore were recruited. Participants were 60-75 years of age, lived by themselves, and had no known cognitive or mental issues.

Results

The study began recruiting in March 2022, and recruitment was completed at the end of October 2022. Data collection and data set construction were completed at the end of January 2023. Analysis of the data is currently being conducted, and we plan to publish the results by mid-2023.

Conclusions

At an individual level, the study will clarify if LOVOT influences single older adults’ psychosocial well-being by reducing their loneliness. At a community level, the study’s findings will illustrate whether LOVOT can provide increased social connectedness while decreasing individual loneliness. Last, this study’s conclusions can inform policy makers to provide social robots to older people to improve their quality of life. Findings can also inform gerontechnology developers on which aspects and cultural considerations to take into account for future inventions.

Türk makam müziği, kökenleri Orta Asya’ya kadar dayanan bir medeniyetin ürünüdür. Orta Asya’dan Anadolu’ya kadar birçok bölgede hüküm süren Türkler bu bölgelerde Çinliler, İranlılar, Araplar ile başlayan komşuluk ilişkilerini daha sonra siyasi gelişmeler ile farklı toplumla sürdürmüşlerdir (Çağatay, 1996). İslamiyet’in kabul edilmesiyle Kindi, Farabi ve İbni Sina gibi kuramcılar yapmış oldukları çalışmalarla Türk makam müziğinin gelişmesine çok büyük katkı sağlamışlardır. Osmanlının bu coğrafyada siyasi ve ekonomik güç olmasıyla birlikte Türk makam müziği tarihinin zirve dönemini yaşamıştır. Özellikle padişahların çoğunun musikiye ve edebiyata ilgi duymaları bu gelişimi sağlayan en önemli etkendir. Safüyiddin Urmevi ve Abdülkadir Merâgi yazmış oldukları musiki eserleriyle Türk müziğinin şekillenmesine ciddi yararlar sağlamıştır. Kuramsal çalışmalar hızlanmış ve günümüz Türk müziği nazariyatını şekillendirmeye başlamıştır. Günümüz Türk makam nazariyatının şekillenmesinde şüphesiz Arel-Ezgi-Uzdilek çok büyük katkıda bulunmuş ve artık hemen hemen tüm müzik kurumlarında bu nazari sistem üzerine eğitim verilmektedir. Geçmişten günümüze makam kuramının şekillenmesiyle şüphesiz besteciliği de etkilemiştir. Coğrafyanın geniş olması ve çok kültürlü bir yapıya sahip olması sebebiyle de Türk müzik kültürü içinde bulunduğu toplumlardan etkilenerek gerek icracı gerek besteci yönünden de geniş bir birikime sahip olmuştur (Levendoğlu, 2005). Türk müziğinde hem bestekâr hem de keman icracısı olan kemani Tatyos Efendi bu bestecilerden biridir. Çalışmada bestecinin literatürde yer alan peşrevleri Arel nazariyatına göre incelenmiş ve karşılaştırma yapılmıştır.
Modernization of the system for ensuring the stability of the railroad crane KZh-971 and evaluation of its effectiveness
Authors:   Bauman Moscow State Technical University, Shubin A.A. , Mokin D.G. ,   Bauman Moscow State Technical University, Shutov R.A. ,   Bauman Moscow State Technical University
Published: July 2023

The weight of the load hanging on the boom of a railroad hydraulic crane KZH-971 creates a load moment that bends the crane slewing ring. To partially balance the load moment, a stationary counterweight is installed on the crane, rigidly fixed on a slewing platform. With an increase in the boom departure, the unbalanced part of the load moment and tensions in the slewing ring increases. In this article, to ensure a constant value of the unbalanced part of the load moment and reduce bending tensions, it is proposed to install a counterweight on the railroad crane with a telescoping system and the ability to rotate about the vertical axis for a work in cramped conditions. A strength analysis of the slewing ring for the change in maximum tensions from the use of a movable counterweight was carried out. An adaptive control system for the position of a movable counterweight has been modeled, with the help of which it will be possible to develop a device for convenient control from the crane operator’s cabin in the future. The advantages of using a movable counter-weight with the possibility of rotation relative the vertical axis are shown when performing loading and repair work in cramped conditions. The results of the strength analysis of the slewing ring with the location of loads in the main working positions are summarized.

Published: July 2023

LGBTphobia in its entirety is linked to violence, discrimination, hate crimes aimed at LGBT+ people; while a social problem, it can start in the domestic and intra-family space and extends to other social contexts.The objective was to investigate the main contributors to the increase in domestic violence against LGBT+ people. For this, an integrative review was carried out in the following research platforms: Medline, Nursing Database (BDENF), PAHO-IRIS, Coleciona SUS, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Science da Saúde (LILACS), INDEXPsi Periodicals and Electronic Periodicals in Psychology (PEPSIC) with the respective descriptors: “(Intimate Partner Violence) OR (Domestic Violence) OR (Family Violence) AND (Sexual and Gender Minorities) OR (People LGBT)”. Completely available articles were included that discussed topics related to domestic violence directed at LGBT+ people during the COVID-19 pandemic, which had been published in national journals related to the field of Psychology and Public Health. Therefore, theses, dissertations, books, reviews and event documents, articles that did not deal with the main theme, studies from international journals and studies not available for full reading were excluded. The applied search strategy resulted in 614 publications. After applying the eligibility criteria, four studies were considered to compose the final analysis. The results were reflected in three categories: vulnerability, violence and family relationships. There is a lack of studies focused on domestic violence against LGBT+ people, which reflects a heterocisnormative society that interferes with the development of scientific studies and data on intrafamily violence of LGBT+ people, with non-reporting or underreporting.
Efectividad a futuro de las estrategias de diseño pasivas en viviendas
Authors: Barea-Paci Gustavo Javier , Ganem-Karlen Carolina , Molina Maria Cecilia , Mateo Pia
Published: July 2023

Passive architectural design strategies have been an effective response to the energy crisis of the 20th century. In temperate climates, their integration results in thermal behaviors that combine indoor comfort and energy efficiency. However, projected future climate change scenarios will not offer the same performances, resulting in such strategies being less effective. The objective of this work is to quantify the relative change in the effectiveness of passive design strategies in dwellings for arid temperate-cold climates (Bwk), taking the city of Mendoza (Argentina) as an example. Regarding future climate projections for warm arid climates (Bwh), using the CMIP5’s RCP8.5 scenario, equivalent to the IPCC’s CMIP6 SSP85 scenario, the results show a 20% decrease in the number of hours in annual comfort, with a 24% increase in the need for passive summer strategies.
Improving the thermal performance of schools in the High Andean Region of Peru. The case of “PRONIED’S prefabricated frost-type modular classrooms”
Authors: Wieser Martin , Garaycochea Antonio , Prada Varinia
Published: July 2023

Faced with the qualitative and quantitative deficit of educational infrastructure in Peru’s rural high Andean areas, in recent years the Peruvian State has been investing in and supporting modular solutions, seeking efficiency in the construction processes. The specific proposal, with special emphasis on bioclimatic design, is the "Prefabricated Frost-type Modular Classroom". However, users have been expressing discomfort with these new facilities. This study shows the measurement process carried out on a built module, which allowed calibrating and validating the model using simulation software, to propose improvements in the design that may contribute to future constructions. Taking the adaptive thermal comfort model as a reference, it was confirmed that indoor temperatures were below thermal comfort limits in the early hours of the morning and well above them close to noon, by around 6 ºC and 7 ºC respectively. With the application of complementary bioclimatic strategies, it was possible to considerably improve indoor thermal conditions, although not enough to reach comfort early in the morning. This is because the night-time outdoor temperatures are very low, the building is uninhabited all night long, there is no thermal mass in the envelope, and there are no active solar systems or mechanical air conditioning.

Published: July 2023

One of the priorities of Russia’s scientific-educational policy is to increase the attractiveness of a career in science and higher education. The Russian government implements a number of federal programs aimed at involving the youth in research activities. Students’ research work is a traditional integral part of the educational process, an element of the generational continuity, of the formation and renewal of scientific schools, of tutoring and professional training. However, when students are involved in research, there are difficulties determined by the peculiarities of the organization of the higher education and by the students’ personal characteristics. The article considers the features of the participation of the Russian universities’ students in research, their scientific achievements and problems that limit or hinder their involvement in research activities, reduce their motivation and satisfaction with studies in general. The article is based on the survey of the Russian universities’ students, conducted by the Center for Education Development Strategy of the Moscow State University in November - December 2022 (N = 123977). The results of the survey show that, when studying at the university, students differ significantly in the quality and forms of training, realization of individual abilities and inclinations, level of motivation and requests for higher education. Therefore, the educational process should be organized in such a way as to comprehensively realize the students’ individual abilities, provide a flexible approach to educational trajectories and support the involvement of the majority of students in research activities.
Features of the Russian volunteer movement
Authors: Bagramyants N. L. , Ivleva M. L.
Published: July 2023

The article considers features of the Russian volunteer movement based on the qualitative criteria, including historical retrospection, and the method of unstructured interview. The authors describe the key characteristics of three models of the Russian volunteering - pre-revolutionary, Soviet and contemporary - and conclude that volunteering in Russia has always been perceived by the public opinion as a kind of cooperative project uniting citizens. The article provides an overview of the legislative framework of the contemporary Russian volunteer movement and of its most popular areas which are mainly associated with ensuring human security. The authors identify and systematize the problems of the Russian volunteer movement and name among the most pressing ones the relationship of volunteer organizations with the state, which can lead to a spiral of silence in the Russian society and hinder the cognitive and emotional involvement of people in the volunteer movement. The article also mentions the influence of the special military operation on the civil activity of the Russian population. The preliminary research results show the emerging shift in the society’s attitude to volunteering, which is manifested in a certain loss of interest in supporting civil initiatives due to paying more attention to one’s family and close social circle. The authors argue that the specifics of the Russian volunteer movement is determined by its non-political nature ‘from below’ and focus on the goals of ensuring human security. Thus, not only the state influences the individual, which is typical for the Russian society and history, but also the individual through volunteering influences the state that cannot ignore the powerful social request for justice.

VIVIR CON PILATES
Authors: Colella Soledad , Rodriguez Feilberg Norma
Published: July 2023

La contrología de Pilates como teoría y campo de conocimiento surge a principios del siglo XX. Dicho acontecimiento se da en diálogo con los modos autorizados de educar el cuerpo, devenidos de los sectores distinguidos de EEUU.  Su método incluye vinculaciones entre práctica corporal- salud- ciencia- estética propios de la época. Este artículo recupera fuentes primarias y secundarias, analizando esta teoría en vinculación con las escuelas de gimnasia francesa, alemana y sueca cuyo sustento común es el retorno al cuerpo natural, la primacía del discurso higienista y la vinculación entre el arte y la ciencia. La hipótesis que se presenta es que la contrología propone un retorno a lo natural como modo de vida que prioriza el cuidado corporal, a partir de técnicas corporales que requieren rutinas sostenidas y organizadas. Así, es un tipo de gimnasia que, bajo el discurso de la búsqueda de la esencia natural del ser humano, presenta técnicas basadas en discursos anatómicos. Su persistencia y difusión durante casi un siglo pone de manifiesto que esta teoría contiene fundamentos y prácticas que responden a modos de usos del cuerpo legitimados en ciertos sectores sociales. El artículo muestra, además, de manera analítica, la lógica de los ejercicios y la organización de su práctica en vinculación con los modos legitimados de usos del cuerpo de las capas medias en Argentina.
CUENTO INFANTIL COMO HERRAMIENTA PARA EL APRENDIZAJE DE LA TEORÍA DE CONJUNTOS BORROSOS EN LAS PRIMERAS EDADES
Authors: Viladevall Valldeperas Queralt , Ferrer Comalat Joan Carles , Alsina ´Àngel
Published: July 2023

El objetivo de este estudio es fundamentar teóricamente el uso de la lectura de cuentos como recurso para introducir el aprendizaje de la teoría de conjuntos borrosos en las aulas de infantil y primaria. Para ello, se han seleccionado una colección de cuentos que recogen en sus historias conceptos y procedimientos que permiten introducir dicha teoría en las aulas, a fin de formalizar un aprendizaje matemático que hasta la actualidad solo se ha realizado de manera informal. El resultado del análisis muestra que los cuentos presentan multitud de ejemplos de pensamiento borroso expresados en lenguaje natural, y consiguientemente, son una forma amena de introducir la teoría de conjuntos borrosos en las primeras edades, con el propósito de que en el sistema actual de enseñanza de las matemáticas la teoría de conjuntos no quede focalizada únicamente en una concepción binaria, lo cual es fuente de graves problemas irresolubles.

The quality of human resources is actually determined by the level of education. Quality and character education will certainly produce quality and character human beings. Al-Qur'an Education Park (TPA) is a place for non-formal education to study religious knowledge among children. The existence of the Qur'an education park is used as an effort to increase the knowledge of Islamic religious knowledge and character in children. Al-Quran education park has a major role to teach the ability to read and write the Koran. On this occasion, Serumpun Malay KKN students provided assistance and development at the Sabilil Falaq TPA related to strengthening the teaching staff of the Sabilil Falaq TPA. The method used is a qualitative method with data collection techniques, namely interview surveys, documentation, and field research. The results obtained are that there are several problems at TPA Sabilil Falaq, namely, the number of students is more than the number of teachers, the ability of teachers is still standard, and the lack of learning media in learning. The solution provided is to make efforts to add teaching teachers or to cadre students who are already capable, carry out training for Koran teachers, and provide fun and innovative learning media.
“Arrived in Astrakhan under the protection of His Imperial Majesty”. The political choice between Russia and the Crimea of the Astrakhan Yurt Murzas
Authors: Toropitsyn Ilya Vasilyevich
Published: July 2023

The article examines the situation in the Lower Volga region during the internecine struggle of the Kalmyk owners, which unfolded after the death of Khan Ayuka. It is noted that the result of this struggle was the departure from the Kalmyks of the Turkic peoples subject to them. Against the background of the migration to the Kuban under the rule of the Crimean Khan of the majority of Jetisans and Dzhemboyluk, part of the former Kalmyk subjects preferred to return to Astrakhan to their former nomads. Murzas Tinbaevs, Allaguatovs, Bimurzins, Tinokpatovs are at the center of the study. The circumstances under which they were involved in the events of 1715 and subsequently found themselves in the Kalmyk Khanate are considered. The reasons that prompted the Yurt Murzas to decide to leave the Kalmyks under the rule of the Astrakhan voivodes are analyzed. An assessment is given of the actions of the local authorities who decided to accept the Murz with their people into Russian citizenship.

Re-Islamization of baptized Tatars during the revolutions of the early 20th century: on the example of the Apazovo village of the Kazan district
Authors: Gabdrafikova Liliya Ramilevna
Published: July 2023

The article examines the difficult period in the history of the Apazovo village of the Kazan district of the Kazan province – 1905–1917. During the first Russian revolution baptized Tatars renewed their movement to return to Islam. We used different focuses to analyze this rural community: socio-economic ties, an Orthodox parish, an illegal Muslim community, leaders and outsiders of a religious movement. Markers of the Muslim subjectivity of the population of Apazova were different religious practices. Conflicts and conformity in the community correlated with different phases of the 1905–1907 revolution. There are the main motives that led to the change of religious attitudes. It is important that in addition to external forces (Orthodox missionaries, Muslim Tatars), the religious movement had internal resources: an active middle generation and the female factor.

El enfoque relacional y el análisis de redes sociales en los estudios históricos y en la historiografía colonial. El caso del Nuevo Reino de Granada
Authors: González-Lopera Tatiana
Published: July 2023

El enfoque relacional y el análisis de redes sociales se desarrollaron hace más de setenta años; aunque se emplean como enfoque teórico y metodológico en la antropología y la sociología, su uso en la historia es relativamente reciente. En este artículo se presenta su aplicación en trabajos de historia, así como las premisas que deben ser tenidas en cuenta cuando se lo aborda en la investigación histórica. Estas premisas son el resultado de la revisión de los trabajos pioneros en el área, de la lectura de los autores que son referentes clave para la investigación en redes sociales en Iberoamérica, como también de la revisión de los trabajos que se han llevado a cabo en Colombia en la última década, que son una herramienta de gran importancia para los investigadores que se quieren iniciar en este camino. La aplicación del estudio de redes sociales en el campo de la historia está cambiando la forma de ver las dinámicas sociales a lo largo del tiempo; asimismo, aporta conocimiento que permitirá escribir un nuevo capítulo de nuestra historia.
“Libertad servil”: incertidumbre jurídica y creatividad legal en el camino a la emancipación (1789-1824)
Authors: Pérez Morales Edgardo
Published: July 2023

Mediante el estudio de la vida de José María Martínez y de su concepto de libertad servil, este artículo ofrece una variación sobre el tema de la incertidumbre jurídica de la esclavitud en las estrategias de libertad. Plantea que la esclavitud jamás fue definida con homogeneidad jurídica, y argumenta que los esclavos reconocieron esta ambigüedad al momento de explicar cómo y por qué podían alcanzar su emancipación. Algunos esclavos, usando selectivamente las leyes de Castilla, de Indias y de los estados revolucionarios, elaboraban lenguajes aceptados en el foro judicial para contar que su estatus personal de servidumbre emanaba de una relación de poder antes que de una doctrina coherente. La presencia de esta creatividad legal, como estrategia de libertad, sugiere que el ámbito judicial fue arena de la política de la emancipación.
Resistencias y manumisiones esclavas en tiempos de abolicionismo gradual neogranadino (1819-1849)
Authors: Cuevas María Fernanda
Published: July 2023

En este artículo se profundiza sobre el proceso de abolición de la esclavitud atlántica durante las primeras décadas republicanas que sucedieron a las independencias de los territorios hispánicos, cuando aparecieron incipientes formas de institucionalización del abolicionismo. Proponemos estudiar la Nueva Granada como caso emblemático del Atlántico sur hispánico, a partir de una periodización del abolicionismo gradual republicano (1819-1849). En particular, se analizan las prácticas de los esclavos en el periodo, poniendo el énfasis en sus resistencias y manumisiones, en cuanto que manifestaciones preponderantes de la agencia de esta población servil, las cuales promovieron el acceso a la libertad, al incrementar el número de libertos en esta sociedad republicana y generar múltiples tensiones que desembocaron en una crisis de la dominación esclavista y forzaron la implementación de medidas abolicionistas.
