A Journey of Inquiry
Authors:   , Nyberg Susan E. , Schaar Raja Y
Published: July 2022

Horst Rittel shook-up the design world with his insistence that designers should not follow a rote, systemic process, as was the guiding principle at that time, when solving for complex problems. These "wicked" problems, as he called them, "could never be subject to a single process of resolution" so the focus should be on the problem itself, not the method (Gram, 2019). Additionally, Nigel Cross has written about designers bringing their perspective and intuition to a project in his collection of writings, Designerly Ways of Knowing (Cross, 2006). In applying that thought to the classroom learning experience, I examined how we, as students, might be more intentional with our research planning to better understand why we choose the methods we choose and, over time, identify a personal process identity. The initial purpose of this study was to explore various project constraints that designers face while doing project research, and how those constraints manifest themselves in the classroom, specifically at the university level. My intention was to create a visual framework that would encourage more thoughtful planning of, and reflection upon, the design research process by allowing students to plot variables of their project on a graphic element, thereby allowing them to see where they were making choices based on the constraints of their project. However, as the research progressed, and I encountered my own set of unexpected constraints, this thesis became more of a reflection upon my own learning experience in the design research journey and an examination into how I could have been more intentional in my own research planning. In the end, I believe, a single graphic tool, at least in the way I envisioned, is not the best way to define a project and its variables. After completing this project, a better way to plan and reflect with intent, I believe, is to dedicate thoughtful time at the beginning of a project to consider the context, wide and narrow, of the problem space (internal and external), the constraints under which the research and design will be conducted (such as resources available to the researcher) and evaluate the best practices for achieving your desired outcome within those parameters, based on your skills and positionality. This might best be achieved through a detailed planning worksheet that challenges you to consider the project through a wider lens than what might be common in the classroom.

Published: July 2022

The purpose of the article is to determine the specifics of socio-psychological technologies for the formation of coordinated role expectations and an adequate distribution of family roles in married couples. Based on a comparison of the results of a parallel formative experiment, the specificity of sociopsychological technologies for the formation of coordinated role expectations and an adequate distribution of family roles in married couples was determined, which consists in the use of active forms of work (games and exercises), modeling of family life situations and psychological playing of family roles that contribute to improving: intimate and sexual role; personal identification with a spouse; expectations of the parenteducational role, social activity, household and emotional-psychotherapeutic roles; claims of the partner’s external attractiveness, social activity, household and emotional-psychotherapeutic roles; consistency of family values and role-based expectations in married couples; emotional climate in the family.
apócrifo en el debate público
Authors: Torres Montesinos Juan Ignacio
Published: July 2022

Sabino Ordás es una figura apócrifa ideada por los escritores Juan Pedro Aparicio, Luis Mateo Díez y José María Merino. Su creación aúna la atribución de una biografía ficticia junto a una serie de escritos publicados, en su mayor parte, durante la Transición española. Esta iniciativa de fabulación se adscribe al apócrifo en la tradición del pensamiento político español, a la vez que conforma un corpus de ideas exponente del leonesismo. Su obra subraya la especificidad de la cultura leonesa, definida esta por la relación entre las prácticas concretas, el paisaje y la historia. En su condición de periodista, participa en el debate público con una reflexión sociopolítica que aboga por la autonomía diferenciada para León en el proceso de descentralización estatal. El reconocimiento de las diversas culturas regionales bosqueja un concepto de nación como identidad en la que confluyen dichas culturas regionales. Como intelectual de su época, Sabino Ordás es un pensador que actualiza la reflexión sobre el ser de España.
The Image of the Interpreter in the First Sino-Spanish Contacts (16th Century)
Authors: Béguelin-Argimón Victoria
Published: July 2022

The earliest Spanish travelers in China coming from the Philippines (16th century), not being able to communicate in Chinese, have to trust interpreters who, very often and for the most diverse reasons, do not always carry out their work with the expected fidelity. These interpreters, beyond being mere translators, also function as guides, as informants about the territory and, above all, as cultural mediators. The first documents on Sino-Spanish contacts, especially Rada’s, Loarca’s, Tordesillas’, and Sánchez’ travel accounts, written between 1575 and 1583, allow to catch a glimpse of the interpreters’ identity, their social and geographical origin, their linguistic and cultural skills, their various tasks in mediation as well as the difficultiesthey have to deal with in their work. Thedocuments also allow to perceive the needfor the first missionaries to learn Chineseand their very first attempts to do so.

Published: July 2022

In recent years, the relations between China and Latin America have experienced adramatic deepening. Latin America is expected to become the last part of the magnificent "The Belt andRoad" development program, in order to achieve a new historic opportunity for commercial cooperationbetween China and Latin America. In this case, it is necessary to carry out a deeper analysis of theexport potential between the two parties. First, from a historical perspective, this work analysesthe development and current situation of trade between China and Latin America, the structure ofcommodities of export from China to Latin America and the distribution of the country through the UNstatistical database. Then analyses the competitiveness and trade complementarity between China andthe main Latin American countries using the formula. According to the results, since the 20th centurythe import and export trade between China and Latin America has grown vigorously, but the growthrate has slowed and has even declined in recent years. Between China and Latin American countriesthere is a strong degree of complementarity in trade, but this degree has shown a downward trend.Among Latin American countries, Mexico is the country that dominates the highest competitiveness andthe least narrow trade link with China; While Venezuela, Peru and Chile are the countries that maintainthe greatest complementarity and the strongest trade link with China. Finally, this work proposes welltargetedpolicy recommendations.
Issues on the Chinese Language and the Sinitic Languages
Authors: Uliana Chiara
Published: July 2022

The most used language in China is defined by many different terms, among which Hanyu 汉语, Zhongwen 中文, putonghua 普通话, guoyu 国语, Zhongguohua 中国话. Some of them have been translated into Western languages , into Spanish, English, Italian and other languages, in each one of those there are several terms used to refer to it. The lack of agreement on the nomenclature can be considered an indicator of a broader underlying disagreement. The bases of this disagreement rest on several pillars that will be analyzed in this work.
Everyone’s War Becomes My War

Published: July 2022

The invasion of Ukraine has been difficult to watch for individuals around the world. Feelings of disbelief and helplessness arise as violent images of murdered children, bombed apartment buildings and shelters, and fleeing families waiting in freezing temperatures at border crossings flash across our screens. This is especially challenging for survivors of World War II (WWII) and their descendants, particularly Holocaust survivors of Eastern European and Ukrainian descent. The impact, however, is not limited to this population and has been felt by survivors of war crimes committed in Bosnia, Syria, and elsewhere.

Published: July 2022

: Annually about 2 million people suffer from various modes of burn injuries worldwide of whom more than a lakh die. In India about 60,000 people suffer from burns annually, more than 50,000 are treated in hospitals and about 10,000 succumb to thermal injury.

: The primary importance of present study is to have a better understanding of changes occurring in this vital organ in relation to survival period of burn victims, to emphasis that hepatic dysfunction is also an important determinant to survival of burn victims.

: Forensic Medicine and Toxicology Department of a tertiary care hospital.

A descriptive study was performed on 37 burn deceased of both the sexes of different age groups brought into the mortuary of the Department of Forensic Medicine during the period of July 2009 to December 2010. Liver specimens were collected and the H& E stained slides studied separately by two independent observers.

Fatty infiltrations in the liver were present at various stages i.e. microvesicular steatosis to macrovesicular steatosis, followed by fatty cyst in victims with survival periods ranging from 2 days to 30 days. Thus as the survival period increased, the proportion of involvement of the hepatic lobule increased with focal / confluent centrilobular hepatocyte necrosis in 54.5% victims of 8-15 days survival and ultimately ended into massive hepatocyte necrosis leading to complete loss of lobular architecture in victims who survived for 16- 30 days.

: The present study indicates that liver damage in the form of hepatic steatosis leading to hepatocyte necrosis and latter complete loss of liver architecture and consecutively hepatic dysfunction occurs with increasing survival period of burn victims therefore, maintenance of Liver integrity and function are crucial for post burn survival.

Background: Microscopy is a resource used in endodontics as an aid in the study of pulp and periapical pathologies; it has allowed Endodontics to become more accurate, less invasive and has enabled greater chances of success in treatment. We aimed to map the scientific production on “microscopy” and “endodontics” in the databases, the ISI Web of Knowledge/Web of Science tm.
Methods: This bibliometric survey was conducted using ISI Web of Knowledge/Web of Science database, in the time frame between the years 1945 and 2016, the first being found in 1981.
Results: Overall, 287 articles were identified. These articles are published in 63 different journals and were written by 1145 authors who have links to 336 institutions, located in 46 countries. To achieve these articles, 5,668 references were used, with an average of approximately 20 references per article. In the national literature the number of studies on the subject is broad compared to the international literature.
Conclusion: The bibliometric review showed the potential of microscopy in clinical practice, the continuity of the investigation, in view of the need to expand knowledge on the topic that remains relevant.
Extremity Injuries during Sporting Activities According to Life Course: Focusing on Fractures
Authors: Park Hye Ji , Park Ju Ok , Jo Hyo Rim , Park Hang A , Wang Soon Joo , Lee Choung Ah
Published: July 2022

Background: The increased participation in sports has led to an increased number of sports-related injuries. We aimed to identify the incidence of sports-related injuries by life course and the risk factors for sports-related extremity fractures.
Methods: We analyzed data of patients with sports-related extremity injuries from Emergency Department-based national injury surveillance systems, obtained from Jan 2013 to Dec 2016. A multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors of extremity fracture by life course after adjusting for sex, injury season, injury time, injury place, sports type, and mechanism of injury.
Results: Overall, 23385 patients met our inclusion criteria. Soccer injuries were most common in the 5–14-year (32.4%), 15–24-year (43.0%), and 25–44-year groups (32.7%), and hiking injuries were most common in the 45–64-year (23.6%) and ≥65-year age groups (38.0%). The upper extremity injury and fracture rates were higher in the younger-age group; nevertheless, the injury and fracture rates of the lower extremities increased with increasing age. Moreover, the rate of hip and thigh injuries and fractures increased significantly in the ≥65-year age group.
Conclusion: The incidence and severity of sports injuries are affected by player factors and the sports activity itself. The age of players is a major determinant that affects their medical and physiologic conditions and the sport of choice. The strategy for preventing sports injuries should be structured based on age.
The Relationship between Betting Propensity as Perceived by Golfers and Exercise Addiction: Verification of Moderating Effects According to Background Variables
Authors: Ji Joon-Chul , Jang Seyong
Published: July 2022

Background: We aimed to verify the effect of betting propensity as perceived by golf participants on exercise addiction, as well as the moderating effects of gender, average number of strokes, weekly exercise frequency, and monthly rounding frequency on these relationships.
Methods: The study included 377 individuals who utilized golf driving ranges and courses in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province (Korea) selected using the non-probability sampling method. The data collected thereafter were subjected to confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis, descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, stepwise regression analysis, and moderating effect analysis using Jamovi version 2.2.2 (University of Newcastle, Sydney, Australia). When the moderating effect was statistically significant, simple linear regression analysis was used to verify the results.
Results: Betting propensity had a positive effect on all sub-factors related to exercise addiction (withdrawal symptoms, conflict, attachment, tolerance, and obsessive–compulsive disorder) (P<0.05). Only the average number of stroke exerted a significant moderating effect on these relationships (P<0.05). Specifically, greater perceived betting propensity was associated with a greater propensity for exercise addiction, and this phenomenon was more pronounced among those with a low average number of strokes.
Conclusion: The current results suggest that greater perceived betting propensity is associated with an increased risk of exercise addiction among golf participants, especially those who are relatively more skilled. These results highlight the need to emphasize participating for the enjoyment of golf and psychological satisfaction without promoting practices that can lead to exercise addiction, such as betting golf.

Right Sided Infective Endocarditis and Mycotic Pulmonary Artery Aneurysm- A Brief Review of Important Literature
Authors: Khan Arshan , Asif Haris , Wasay Abdul , Khan Sanaullah , Agyingi Chris , Haseeb Muhammad
Published: July 2022

Right-sided infective endocarditis (IE) involves the infection of the endocardial surface of either the tricuspid or pulmonary valve. The tricuspid valve is involved in almost 90% of cases. Isolated right-sided infective endocarditis can present with multiple complications; the most common of which include valvular insufficiency, abscess formation, and septic pulmonary embolism. Other complications include pulmonary infarcts, pleural effusion, empyema, and pneumothorax. Mycotic pulmonary artery aneurysm is a rare complication of right-sided infective endocarditis. Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species are the most common culprits for mycotic pulmonary artery aneurysms. IV drug use and bacterial endocarditis are the two major known risk factors for mycotic aneurysm. Computerized tomography angiography is the mainstay of imaging modalities to diagnose mycotic pulmonary artery aneurysms. MRI angiography can also be used to diagnose mycotic pulmonary aneurysms, but this imaging modality is not available widely.  The mycotic pulmonary aneurysm is treated both surgically and conservatively depending on the symptoms and clinical status of the patient. The surgical approach includes emergent arterial embolization, lobectomy, resection, banding, and aneurysmectomy.

The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of different doses of nitrogen and potassium fertilizers on some production parameters of melon plants. The experiment was carried out in San Roque, which is 24 km from the city of Concepción, Paraguay, at the coordinates 57°14´10.29´´ South and 23°19´12.05´´ West. The study design was the completely randomized block with three replications in a split plot scheme 4 x 4. The dose used in the main plot was of N (0, 50, 100 and 150 kg ha-1) and in the sub-plot, K (0, 95, 190 and 285 kg ha-1). A light harrow was carried out to prepare the soil, seedlings were produced in 1500 cm3 pots of 60-micron thickness and the transplant was carried out when the seedlings had between 4 and 6 true leaves at 30 days after planting. Urea with 45% N was used as the source of nitrogen and potassium chloride 60% was used as the source of potassium. Fertilisation was carried out in September 2017 on two occasions: at 15 and 30 days after transplanting. The spacing used was of 1.5 m between rows and 1.5 m between plants, giving a total of 4356 plants ha-1. Harvesting began 90 days after planting and was carried out three times as the fruits reached commercial ripeness. The variables that were measured were average fruit weight (AFW), total soluble solids (TSS), polar diameter (PD), equatorial diameter (ED), fruit weight per plant (FWP). The data of the evaluated variables were subjected to the analysis of variance using the Fisher test where significant differences were found in: AFW, TSS, PD, ED and FWP. Subsequently, the regression analysis was performed (AFW, TSS and PD) and response surface (ED and FWP). The dose combination that produced the best values for equatorial diameter and fruit weight per plant was 71.9495 kg ha-1 of N and 160.554 kg ha-1 of K, 77.5921 kg ha-1 of N and 147.369 kg ha-1 of K, respectively.

Published: July 2022

Dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) anthracnose is an economically important seed-borne fungal disease caused by the fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum. The pathogenic variability of C. lindemuthianum was evaluated in a glasshouse study. A total of 32 isolates were collected in three provinces, namely KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga and North-West. The isolates were collected from different fields of dry bean at research stations and also from small-scale farmers’ fields. Inoculum developed from the different isolates was sprayed onto 12 CIAT differential dry bean cultivars that were used to identify pathogen races. The inoculation was carried out during the trifoliate developmental stage of the dry bean seedlings raised in pots 14 days post-sowing. Using the CIAT binomial system, eight pathogenic races of C. lindemuthianum were identified, namely, 3, 6, 7, 81, 83, 89, 263 and 323 out of the 32 isolates evaluated. Only pathogenic races 7, 81, 83 and 89 were found in the more humid locations of the province of KwaZulu-Natal. Races 7, 81 and 89 are internationally recognized and show characteristics reported of races in Brazil. Race 6 was identified in Mpumalanga and North west provinces and this was important as it has been reported in other Southern African countries. The races populations were distinct between locations as they infected both the Andean and the Meso-American bean landraces. The most important dry bean landraces were AB 136, G 2333, Kaboon, TU and PI 207262 as they showed complete resistance from the isolates. The study findings suggests that these six landraces can be successfully used to improve anthracnose resistance, especially G 2333 because of its horizontal resistance that can be used to improve the current cultivars used for the control of anthracnose in South Africa. Additionally, Cornell 49242 was one of the landraces of importance, as it showed glimpses of anthracnose that faded overtime under controlled suitable environmental conditions. Use of these landraces will ensure stability in the long-term control of dry bean anthracnose since the pathogen C. lindemuthianum is highly variable and widely distributed in South Africa.

Analysis of risk factors that influence stunting among Rwandan children under the age of five
Authors:   University of Rwanda College, Ndagijimana S , Kabano I , Ntaganda JM
Published: July 2022

In East Africa, 39% of all children were stunted in 2016. Rwanda reported the second highest rate at 37.7%. Globally, deaths from malnutrition stand at 45% of child deaths, creating an economic handicap for all countries. According to the World Health Organization's (WHO) goal to reduce malnutrition by 3.9% per year, all countries must define appropriate strategies. Although related research has been conducted in Rwanda, the issue of malnutrition prevails. This study assesses stunting with multiple factors, with the aim of revealing the system-wide impact of food insecurity on malnutrition. Secondary data from the Rwanda Demographic and Health Survey (RDHS) 2014-2015 were used. Variables were classified into five categories, namely the community, environment, socio-development, media, and proximate factors. To assess the risk factors for stunting, a mixed-effect logistic regression was applied and an association between different factors and stunting was determined. The prevalence of stunting was 37.7%, the average was relatively still high, compared to the global prevalence of 21.3% in 2019, and the city of Kigali comprised the lowest prevalence (22.7%) while the highest prevalence was observed in the Western Province (44.6%). The place of residence and altitude were found to be statistically significant community and environmental factors. Wealth index and parental education level were considered socio-demographic risk factors. All media factors were associated with stunting and in proximate factors, the Body Mass Index (BMI) of the mother, duration of breastfeeding, age and weight of the child at birth, sex, and birth order were statistically significant factors. In addition, infection, diarrhoea, and parasitic infection were also associated with stunting. Ensuring sustainable food security in households should go hand in hand with all strategies for eliminating all forms of malnutrition since stunting is observed in most regions where there are cases of food insecurity. Educating children is key to reducing stunting since the parents need nutrition education to better take care of their children. Public policy throughout the country should aim to improve the living standards of people. Generally, all concerned institutions accompanied with policies to eradicate malnutrition and industries providing nutrients should be promoted.

Food shortages and malnutrition widely persist and continue to be rural peculiarities across the sub-region. A cross-sectional study was conducted in a peri-urban community of Dzodze in the Volta region to ascertain the level of food security as well as the nutritional status of the inhabitants using a random sampling technique. This community-based comparative cross-sectional study conducted from May to July 2018 adopted a multistage random sampling and selected 105 households. Socio-demographic data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Chi-square, Cramer’s-V, and Pearson’s correlations models were used to assess the association of socio-demographic, anthropometric and food frequency data while the Logit model, FSI, HCR were used to measure food security. Over half of the sample (59.6%) were in the normal range of BMI which implied good nutritional status. Remarkably, a majority of those in this normal BMI range 81 (77%) were female. Women aged 41years and above constituted a large portion of study participants (54.3%) of which many 43 (41%) were married. Just 4.8% of this group said they were both separated and cohabited with their partners non-customarily. Data on the frequency of food intake by the community revealed that, a majority of 63.4% of the respondents ate three times a day. Most of the people (77.2%, 68.7%, and 86.9%) ate breakfast, lunch, and supper, respectively, daily over a week. The fallouts from the work showed majority (71.5%) of the respondents were food secure and the remaining (about 28.5%) were food insecure. Factors such as age, gender, educational level, household size, and age were found to be significant predictors that influenced food security of the peri-urban community according to the logit model used. The smallholder households according to the computed food security index of 1.13 and normal range of BMI were identified to be indices of food security.

Published: July 2022

The aim of this study is to show the cranial alterations that Klippel-Feil syndrome produced in a case older than 200 years. Few paleopathological case studies diagnosed as Klippel-Feil Syndrome are focused on cranial abnormalities. A skull numbered 778, belonging to the Federico Olóriz Aguilera collection (Spain, 19th century AD), Universidad Complutense de Madrid, belonging to a young man born in a town in the North of Spain, was investigated. This cranium was visually inspected, hence macroscopically and paleoradiologically studied, using the images obtained through conventional radiology and CT scan imaging. In addition to the vertebral fusion between the atlas (C1) and the axis (C2), atlanto-occipital fusion, basilar impression, obliteration of the sagittal suture, enlarged parietal foramina and significant craniofacial asymmetry affecting maxillary bones, sphenoid, orbits, nasal bones and both palatines were observed. Morphological findings make it possible to diagnose a Klippel-Feil syndrome, possibly type-II, although the lack of the rest of the spinal column renders it impossible to verify other spinal anomalies. As a limitation, only the cranium and two cervical vertebrae were preserved, hence the possible involvement of the rest of the skeleton cannot be verified.
The Dark Tetrad, Intimate Partner Violence and the Mediating Role of Moral Disengagement
Authors: Carter Laura Jayne , Egan Vincent
Published: July 2022

Purpose

Research suggests that physical, psychological, and/or sexual focussed Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is related to the dark triad (DT) traits of Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and narcissism. This study extends these findings by considering the addition of everyday sadism into the four-dimension dark tetrad (DTET), testing the possibility that moral disengagement (MD) mediates the relationship between these variables. It was also examined whether the DTET provided incremental validity to the more general personality traits Honesty-Humility, Emotionality, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Openness (HEXACO) to predict IPV.

Method

Males and females (N = 416) from the general population completed five questionnaires in an online survey (HEXACO-60, MMEA, PMDS, CTS2S, SD4).

Results

A principal component factor-analysis found that sexual IPV did not load as an individual factor and distinct form of violence on the CTS2S scale so was excluded from this study. Four hierarchical multiple regressions were conducted, using the demographics, HEXACO and either the DTET traits or an overall DTET variable as predictor variables, and either physical or psychological IPV as the dependent variables. Only psychopathy predicted physical and psychological IPV; MD mediated the relationship between psychopathy and psychological IPV. Although the DTET added incremental validity over HEXACO to predict physical IPV, HEXACO low Agreeableness was the strongest predictor of psychological IPV.

Conclusions

Those higher in psychopathy may show different offending trajectories for physical and psychological IPV dependent upon the use of MD processes. Despite the DTET adding incremental validity over the HEXACO dimensions, some HEXACO elements better explain the relationship between personality and psychological IPV than the DTET.

Les Primates non-humains sont observés dans les milieux périurbains sans protection, où leur survie est menacée, notamment à cause de l’urbanisation galopante qui réduit l’habitat et la disponibilité alimentaire. C’est le cas d’une population de Mones de Lowe, espèce vulnérable selon l’Union Internationale pour la Conservation de la Nature, localisée dans la forêt de l’Université NANGUI ABROGOUA (UNA), à Abidjan en Côte d’Ivoire. Le présent travail a pour but d’approfondir les connaissances sur les principales menaces qui pèsent sur cette population de Primates isolée dans cette forêt de 10 hectares bordée de plantations expérimentales et familiales. Un suivi journalier des Mones en utilisant la méthode d’observation par balayage régulier des groupes et les observations Ad libitum d’événements rares a permis de noter les indices directs d'agression sur les Mones et leur habitat pendant 24 mois, en 2018 et 2019. L’identification des indices indirects s’est basée sur des interviews semi-directs de personnes qui fréquentent ladite forêt. Les résultats montrent que trois facteurs directs liés aux activités anthropiques constituent les plus grandes menaces sur ces Mones et leur habitat : la pollution physique avec 71, 24 % des observations (N = 1510) ; le défrichement agricole avec 15, 21 % et le braconnage qui totalise 13,50 % de l’ensemble des facteurs de menace. Au sujet des facteurs indirects, les personnes interrogées (N = 401) évoquent par ordre d’importance, le manque de volonté administrative à 32,7%, l’inaction des autorités en charge de la protection de la faune à 20,9 % et le manque de surveillance de ces Primates (16,8 %).

Authors: Contreras Roa André , Díaz Gonzales Juan , Gómez Silva Sonia
Published: July 2022

Esta investigación se realizó con los estudiantes del programa de Licenciatura en Humanidades y Lengua Castellana de la Universidad de Pamplona, quienes se encontraban desarrollando sus prácticas pedagógicas en el nivel escolar. Este proyecto persiguió los siguientes objetivos: reflexionar crítica y pedagógicamente el rol de formación que deben asumir los estudiantes del área de Lengua Castellana en los nuevos escenarios educativos a raíz de la situación de pandemia generada por la COVID-19; contrastar los lineamientos y políticas educativas nacionales respectoa la condición de pandemia y su efecto real en el aula de clase, y proponer una perspectiva curricular para la enseñanza de la lengua a partir de “los textos digitales” como alternativa de aprendizaje. La metodología se basó en el método cualitativo con un diseño evaluativo; las técnicas e instrumentos fueron la observación participante, el diario de campo, el cuestionario, la prueba diagnóstica, entrevistas y la prueba final, según la modalidad que orientaba cada docente en formación. Los resultados muestran la brecha que existe entre entornos presenciales y entornos virtuales, lo que permitió proponer nuevas alternativas didácticas como los formatos y naturalezas textuales y su utilidad en los nuevos escenarios educativos.
Competencia léxica y procesos de variación semántica en los verbos del parlache
Authors: Pasuy Guerrero Gladys Yolanda , Agudelo Montoya Claudia Liliana
Published: July 2022

Este artículo surge de una exploración diagnóstica de tipo documental, que se configura como teórica, monográfica y descriptiva, y utiliza fuentes secundarias, esencialmente las designadas por la teoría lingüística semántica y por los estudios sociolingüísticos estadounidenses, hispanoamericanos y colombianos. Pretende dar cuenta de la manera como la competencia léxica del usuario debe resolver la resemantización dada en los verbos de la variedad de habla colombiana denominada parlache. Los fenómenos observados fueron, sobre todo, los distintos tipos de unidades léxicas en las que participan los verbos resemantizados y los procesos y estrategias implicados en su producción y comprensión. Se concluye que la competencia léxica, como capacidad para relacionar las formas con los significados, recurre a los referentes, a las asociaciones conceptuales y funcionales, a las relaciones semánticas,a la lexicogénesis, a las unidades fraseológicas, a los registros, y a los niveles de uso, así que apela a aspectos referenciales e inferenciales.
Consideraciones clave: la participación de los jóvenes de América Latina y el caribe en la respuesta al COVID-19
Authors: Bishop Stephanie , Correa Juliana
Published: July 2022

La pandemia del COVID-19 ha afectado de gran forma a los jóvenes de toda América Latina y el Caribe (ALC). Desde el año 2020, los jóvenes de ALC se han enfrentado a muchos desafíos, como tener adaptarse a entornos de aprendizaje virtuales, han sufrido experiencias de depresión y pérdidas, desempleo, entre otros, sin ninguna señal clara de alivio. Si bien las medidas sociales y de salud pública instituidas por los gobiernos fueron necesarias para frenar la transmisión del COVID-19, la mayoría de ellas no tuvieron en cuenta las necesidades de los jóvenes. Con poco apoyo, los jóvenes tuvieron que enfrentarse a la pandemia por su cuenta. A medida que avanza la respuesta a la pandemia, surgen preguntas clave para los profesionales y los gobiernos, como las siguientes: ¿Qué lecciones podemos aprender de las perspectivas de los jóvenes en la respuesta al COVID-19 hasta ahora? ¿Y cómo podemos involucrar de una mejor manera a los jóvenes en la preparación y respuesta a la pandemia ahora y en el futuro? Este informe se base en la literatura académica y gris que explora cómo el COVID-19 afecta a los jóvenes, así como en literatura que describe la respuesta a la pandemia en ALC y otras regiones. Presenta consideraciones sobre cómo involucrar a los jóvenes considerándolos no solo como parte de la población afectada, sino también como socios en la respuesta. El informe tiene por objetivo orientar a los actores humanitarios, los funcionarios de salud pública, los defensores de los jóvenes, los profesionales de la participación de la comunidad y otros involucrados en la respuesta al COVID-19. También representa un aporte a la base de pruebas existente sobre el impacto del COVID-19 en los jóvenes. Estas lecciones son útiles para fortalecer la preparación y las respuestas programáticas a los brotes epidémicos. Se consideran jóvenes las personas entre los 10 y los 24 años de edad. Las consideraciones clave se comparten para los adolescentes (de 10 a 19 años) y los jóvenes (de 15 a 24 años). Barbados y Brasil fueron elegidos como estudios de caso debido a su gran número de jóvenes (que representan algo menos del 20 % de la población en ambos países), así como a sus diferentes respuestas nacionales al COVID-19, a pesar de enfrentarse a retos similares durante la pandemia. Este informe es parte de la serie de Social Science in Humanitarian Action Platform (SSHAP) sobre las consideraciones de las ciencias sociales en relación con el COVID-19. Forma parte de una serie elaborada por los participantes del programa de becas de SSHAP, cohorte 2, y fue escrita por Stephanie Bishop y Juliana Corrêa. Las contribuciones fueron proporcionadas por expertos en la materia de UNICEF, el Ministerio de la Juventud de Barbados y la Universidad de Espírito Santo. El informe recibió el apoyo del equipo de SSHAP en el Institute of Development Studies y fue editado por Victoria Haldane (Anthrologica). Este informe es responsabilidad de SSHAP.

Epistemología y certeza en la segunda parte de la Ética de Spinoza
Authors: Keri Manuel Agustín
Published: July 2022

El presente trabajo analiza la doctrina de la “idea de la idea” y la crítica a la concepción de las ideas como imágenes mudas en la segunda parte de la Ética para mostrar el modo en que la concepción spinocista de la certeza se vincula con la elaboración de una epistemología que no funciona como organon para el aumento del conocimiento sino que proporciona el reconocimiento de una certeza ya poseída, así como el consiguiente abandono de una concepción errónea respecto de la naturaleza de las ideas.
Exports Driven by Hallyu Increasing South Korea’s Economic Growth - Cultural Diplomacy Approach
Authors: Reza Titing reza
Published: July 2022

Hallyu, or what was known as the Korean Wave that expanded through globalisation, was used as a soft power instrument for South Korean cultural Diplomacy to repair South Korean relations with other countries, as well as to develop its economic sites. Hallyu products can increase South Korea’s GDP by 0.2% in 2004 or by $ 1.87 billion, and it even reached $12.3 in 2019. This study uses four variables of Hallyu products that drive Korean economics: Cosmetics or K-beauty, Fashions, Inbound Tourism and education, compared with the other four highest non-Hallyu variables such as Electrical, Nuclear, Vehicles and Plastics. By using the correlations analysis method with python, the mathematical model of finding shows that the correlation of Hallyu products to South Korea’s GDP per capita was robust, even reaching a positive number of 0.89 compared to non-Hallyu products with a positive value of 0.44. This circumstance indicates that the Hallyu product has a very high correlation, where there was a positive increase of a fixed proportion in the other. Therefore, cultural Diplomacy carried out by South Korea was an example of soft power that has succeeded in controlling not only diplomacy but the economy as well.
