“Corrió sólo y llegó segundo”: el Fortín Mapocho y la campaña para el plebiscito de 1988
Authors: Jerez Leiva Dany
Published: August 2024

El presente artículo busca analizar el discurso y contenidos del diario Fortín Mapocho, entre fines de agosto y el Plebiscito del 5 de octubre de 1988, período marcado por una creciente movilización social y polarización política, ante la disyuntiva de si Augusto Pinochet seguiría como presidente por un período de ocho años. Como hipótesis, se propone que este medio de comunicación operó como un brazo comunicacional del comando del No (opción contraria a la continuidad de Augusto Pinochet en el poder), teniendo como público objetivo los sectores populares. Para ello, Fortín Mapocho asumió una tarea de concientización del electorado, respecto a la confianza en el triunfo de la oposición al régimen, así como de que no se concretaría un fraude electoral. Otro recurso destacado, y que será parte de este trabajo, fue la viñeta protagonizada por Margarita, a través de la cual se entregaba un mensaje satírico hacia la dictadura.
Dar pruebas de identidad: el valor de los libros en la agrupación Historias Desobedientes
Authors: Goldentul Analia
Published: August 2024

Este artículo se centra en el valor que tuvieron los libros en el devenir de Historias Desobedientes, una agrupación conformada por hijas e hijos de perpetradores que condenan los delitos cometidos por sus familiares en la última dictadura argentina. Desde su surgimiento en 2017, los libros fueron objetivos materiales y simbólicos claves en la materialización y visibilización de los posicionamientos colectivos. Como argumento central, se sostiene que las/os integrantes de la agrupación se apoyaron en los libros para dar “pruebas” de sus compromisos y valores ante activistas y familiares del movimiento de derechos humanos local y así doblegar las sospechas que suscitaba el lazo de sangre con perpetradores. El análisis se funda en el material provisto por una serie de libros escritos y/o leídos por las/os integrantes de Historias Desobedientes, en fuentes de elaboración propia, entre las que se incluye una reunión con tres integrantes mujeres del colectivo y prácticas de observación participante en la presentación del primer libro del colectivo.
Archivo, lectura y écfrasis: descripción de panfletos en las sentencias del Consejo de Guerra a civiles en Dictadura
Authors: Carrasco Aguilar Gastón
Published: August 2024

En este artículo se propone un análisis de la descripción de panfletos en las sentencias del Consejo de Guerra a civiles en la Dictadura chilena, alojados en el archivo UDP-CIPER (2023) y de sus formas de producción y circulación. A partir de la categoría de écfrasis, se identifica un problema representacional del proceso ecfrástico, es decir, en el traspaso de información y el ejercicio de traducción en palabras de las imágenes. Principalmente, se excluye información visual y material, centrándose en el texto, en el contenido, omitiendo el significante, obviando la imagen. De esta manera, se postula que la materialidad que se omite diluye el contenido, las trazas históricas y afectivas de la imagen; el resultado es una imagen incompleta y parcial, manipulada en pro de los intereses del Consejo de Guerra y en desmedro de los acusados.

Authors: Arce Barahona Pablo , Iribarren Paniagua Carlos , Vásquez Lavín Yury
Published: August 2024

El objetivo de la presente investigación es dar cuenta del contenido de la representación social de la repitencia escolar entre docentes y directivos de un colegio de la ciudad de Iquique, en el norte de Chile. La metodología empleada fue de tipo cualitativo y consistió en la realización de seis grupos de discusión, en los cuales se integró un total de treinta y cinco participantes. Los resultados del análisis estructural del discurso identifican un núcleo central que describe la repitencia escolar como fracaso y oportunidad, además de elementos periféricos que la asocian con la inmadurez del estudiante y el abandono de la familia, y que la evalúan como una política educativa necesaria y positiva en el largo plazo. Se concluye que el contenido de esta representación social difiere de estudios anteriores respecto de las consecuencias de la repitencia escolar, pero sí es concordante con las investigaciones precedentes en materia de representaciones sobre el fracaso escolar.

Redefining Learning Organisations for Effective School Leadership and Management
Authors: Shuping Mabihi
Published: August 2024

This paper seeks to first delve deeper into the meaning of a learning organizations. I select some meanings from literature by dedicated scholars, but focus more on Peter Senge’s five disciplines which gained popularity in terms of his viewpoint that although there is no consensus on the meaning of learning organizations, there is a converging view that continuous learning and active involvement of all stakeholders play a pivotal role in learning organization. From the outset, I acknowledge that there are many meanings that are contributed by dedicated scholars on the subject but choose meanings that I consider to provide a clearer meaning based on the context. Then I offer an analysis of the school (henceforth referred to apropos: school X throughout the discussion in this paper) as a learning organizational context by identifying language barrier as a gap that hinders the dissemination of information in that school. I label this as a gap cautiously because the issues relating to language barrier and dissemination of information in school X are not problems as in the sense of them being wrong and needing to be fixed, but I consider them to be gaps that require enterprising and innovative ideas by everyone in school X to close down, hence the expediency of a redefinition.

Published: August 2024

Events as a catalyst for the revival of tourism after the pandemic are the focus issues in event development in Indonesia. Events are one of the typical tourism activities with a "life experience" that provides a complete experience to tourists who travel with special motivation. The event itself is a sector that is able to provide economic growth and multiplier effect such as job opportunities, improving destination image and growing regional income. However, along with the growth in the level of event organization, negative impacts are also visible, especially on the environmental sector. This research aims to further examine the concept of green event in Get the Fest activities, the extent to which this event can apply the concept, and what are the benefits that can be felt directly or indirectly by the event participants themselves. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method by describing a phenomenon in detail and presenting the data found in detail. The study found that event organizers are starting to take a more environmentally friendly approach by using the green event concept. However, as an emerging trend, the concept of Green Event is wide with different methods of application. The case studied in this research that held in early 2024 is the implementation of green event at the "Get the Fest" event which implements environmentally friendly events through the use of renewable energy.

Published: August 2024

Community empowerment is an important aspect in developing tourist villages. This is because the development of tourist villages uses a lot of resources owned by the community. The community has an important role in supporting the success of tourism village development so that powerless communities need to be empowered to create independence and economic prosperity for the community. This type of research is qualitative research using data collection techniques, namely interviews, documentation, observation, focus group discussions and literature studies. Interviews are a data collection method with both direct and indirect data sources. This study examines tourism potential, the role of the community and how to empower the community. Data sources were obtained from the head of Bayan Village, the head of the tourism awareness group, traditional leaders of Bayan Village and the community in Bayan Village to serve as sources. The village can be used as a tourist attraction so that it can invite tourists to come to the Bayan Tourism Village. The existence of this tourist village can increase income opportunities for the community and reduce unemployment. Empowerment is carried out by providing training to the Bayan village community about tourism so that they can take advantage of the opportunities that exist in the Bayan tourist village and can create their own employment opportunities. Having a tourist village can empower the community in Bayan Village, North Lombok Regency.
A Relativistic Framework to Estimate Clock Rates on the Moon
Authors: Ashby Neil , Patla Bijunath R.
Published: August 2024

As humanity aspires to explore the solar system and investigate distant worlds such as the Moon, Mars, and beyond, there is a growing need to estimate and model the rate of clocks on these celestial bodies and compare them with the rate of standard clocks on Earth. According to Einstein’s theory of relativity, the rate of a standard clock is influenced by the gravitational potential at its location and its relative motion. A convenient choice of local reference frames allows for the comparison of local time variations of clocks due to gravitational and kinematic effects. We estimate the rate of clocks on the Moon using a locally freely falling reference frame coincident with the center of mass of the Earth–Moon system. A clock near the Moon’s selenoid ticks faster than one near the Earth’s geoid, accumulating an extra 56.02 μs day−1 over the duration of a lunar orbit. This formalism is then used to compute the clock rates at Earth–Moon Lagrange points. Accurate estimation of the rate differences of coordinate times across celestial bodies and their intercomparisons using clocks on board orbiters at Lagrange points as time transfer links is crucial for establishing reliable communications infrastructure. This understanding also underpins precise navigation in cislunar space and on celestial bodies’ surfaces, thus playing a pivotal role in ensuring the interoperability of various position, navigation, and timing systems spanning from Earth to the Moon and to the farthest regions of the inner solar system.
An Introduction to the Global Registry of Scientific Collections (GRSciColl)
Authors: Liu Melissa Jean-Yi , Shrestha Lily , Grosjean Marie , Høfft Morten , Gonzalez Marcos , Robertson Tim
Published: August 2024

The Global Registry of Scientific Collections (GRSciColl) is a comprehensive community-curated repository of scientific collections, their host institutions, and associated staff members. GRSciColl was adopted by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) in 2018, after being developed and hosted at the Smithsonian Institution.

GRSciColl houses data on various institutional or personal scientific collections such as natural history collections, archeological collections, and cell culture collections. Users can access information about the collection location, content, accessibility status, coverage (e.g., geographic and taxonomic), and contacts. Additionally, it serves as a tool for enhancing data interoperability by including institution and collection codes and identifiers, as well as external identifiers like Wikidata Q numbers whenever feasible. The digitized specimens published on GBIF.org are linked with GRSciColl institutions and collections based on these codes and identifiers. These specimens are then aggregated to generate metrics and dashboards, which display customized multiple tables and visualization, regardless of how they were published on GBIF.

Most of the data in GRSciColl is sourced from Index Herbariorum, the Integrated Digitized Biocollections (iDigBio), and national registries. The information can also be improved by direct contributions from a community of editors or the suggestions made by the users.

As of 19 April 2024, GRSciColl provided information on 7,678 scientific collections and 7,906 institutions. However, GRSciColl includes numerous legacy entries, with many institutions lacking associated collections. This discrepancy arises partly from misregistrations, where institution entries should be collections. Additionally, some national registries or surveys provided institution-level information that did not align with the GRSciColl schema for collections. Furthermore, some records pertain to historical institutions that no longer maintain collections. The most up-to-date entries are discoverable and accessible via the website: https://scientific-collections.gbif.org and the GRSciColl Application Programming Interface (API).

In this presentation, we will show you how to navigate the GRSciColl website and API to help you find relevant institutions, collections, and specimen records and look up codes and identifiers. We will cover any new functionality developed in the context of the GRSciColl 2023-2024 road map, which aims to support richer, structured descriptions as well as the ability to upload an inventory of species.

Published: August 2024

Since its development in 2020, the Guatemala Biodiversity Portal (Fig. 1), generated with Symbiota (Gries et al. 2014, Gilbert et al. 2020, Symbiota Support Hub 2021), has turned into an outstanding resource to facilitate the digitization, mobilization, and use of specimen data from local natural history collections (Orellana et al. 2023). More than 50,000 records and several thousands of images from Guatemalan zoological, botanical, mycological, and paleontological collections have been shared online for the first time in this portal. An integrated Symbiota installation allows further data mobilization to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF.org 2024a), amplifying its impact on biodiversity research at an international level. To date, more than 42,000 records have been shared from the Guatemala Biodiversity Portal (GBIF.org 2024b), promoting visibility and recognition for national collections and researchers as shown by more than 300 citations in scientific literature, and the presence of at least 50 local collectors and taxonomists in the platform, Bionomia (Shorthouse 2020).

Personalized training, documentation, and technical support have been key to the growing success of the portal (Orellana et al. 2022a, Portal de Biodiversidad de Guatemala 2023). Continuous leadership provided by portal managers and the Symbiota team has additionally amplified the active participation of the Guatemalan collections community. Engagement with undergraduate students has also been crucial to increasing the volume of specimen digitization. Outreach and crowdsourcing activities, as well as guided assignments and temporary internships in research projects, have contributed to transcribing most of the available data. Careful supervision by collection and portal managers, integrated data cleaning tools (Pearson 2021), and a curated taxonomic thesaurus (Orellana et al. 2022b) help maintain the accuracy of the digital records in the portal.

Furthermore, the improving accessibility to specimen data from Guatemalan collections and tailored resources in a bilingual Spanish-English interface (e.g., interactive checklists, Pearson and Walker 2021), have made the portal an important source of information, enabling local researchers to develop and share studies about the natural diversity of the country (Prado et al. 2023, Vásquez-Almazán 2023). Additional outcomes, strategies, and reflections about the dynamics of the community will be shared during the presentation.
Spatiotemporal and Environmental Completeness of eBird Data in Taiwan
Authors: Tsai Pei-Yu , Tuanmu Mao-Ning
Published: August 2024

Recent developments in citizen science have significantly enhanced the public availability of biodiversity data (Chandler et al. 2017, Kelling et al. 2019). Associated open data platforms, such as eBird, have become the major data source supporting scientific research and biodiversity conservation (Tsai et al. 2021, Meehan et al. 2022, Walker and Taylor 2017). However, the increasing availabililty of data does not resolve, but rather exacerbates, data bias issues (Escribano et al. 2019, La Sorte and Somveille 2020, Troia and McManamay 2016). While over 11.2 million bird observation records from Taiwan, including historical data spanning 40 years, are currently available on the eBird platform, their usefulness for characterizing the spatiotemporal patterns of bird communities remains unclear. To address this gap, we evaluated the data’s completeness in representing species richness across spatial and temporal scales and examined the representativeness of the data along several environmental gradients. Using the iNEXT package in R, we found an increase in data completeness with increasing spatial scales Fig. 1, with the mean proportion of bird species represented being increased from 14.0% at the 1 km scale to 68.0 and 82.9% at the 5 and 10 km scales, respectively, across Taiwan. We also found an exponential improvement of data completeness over time. At the 5 km scale, the represented species proportion increased from 6.78 and 32.14% in the 1980s and 1990s to 36.86 and 63.56% in the 2000s and 2010s Fig. 2, with the data in the last decade alone achieving similar completeness to the entire four-decade data. We also found that the areas with good data completeness (i.e., over 80%) adequately represented the full gradient of annual precipitation across Taiwan, but showed a bias toward areas at lower elevations and with lower forest coverage. These results indicate overall good data completeness of the eBird dataset for representing bird species richness in Taiwan. However, this study also highlights some data gaps, especially at finer scales, which need attention when using the dataset. This information is crucial for shaping future research designs and survey plans, aiming to enhance the applications of biodiversity data.

Authors: Xu Ting , Jumaat Nurul Farhana
Published: August 2024

ChatGPT’s remarkable ability to produce academic texts has generated significant interest in educational and academic circles. This study provides a specific overview of ChatGPT’s current usage and explores its potential applications, limitations, and implications in English academic writing for EFL students, who often face challenges in language proficiency, content organization, and critical thinking. Using a mixed-methods research approach, this study employed a CSE-based questionnaire and focus group interviews to investigate how ChatGPT can empower academic writing strategies (WS) and how respondents perceive its assistance. Data was collected from 60 Chinese university juniors majoring in English. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis, while qualitative data underwent thematic analysis. Findings indicate that ChatGPT can help students apply academic WS more effectively by comprehending research trends, generating writing outlines, enriching writing content, synthesizing literature, and refining papers. However, issues such as potential plagiarism, inaccurate output, improper citations, and the digital gap between users and non-users must be addressed. The study suggests that while ChatGPT-empowered writing can better equip academic WS in planning, composing, and revising, respectively, it is crucial to scrutinize the quality of AI-generated texts. Further research will be urgently expected regarding ChatGPT’s long-term impact on academic integrity, the development of educational policies for ethical AI use, and the integration of ChatGPT into pedagogical approaches to enhance EFL students’ writing and critical thinking.

Published: August 2024

This study analyzed the influence of modeling learning, audio-visual media, and intellectuals on pencak silat learning outcomes. The study employed an experimental approach with a 2 × 2 factorial design. It involved 40 university students who were enrolled in the sports science program. The study began with the preparation of the study administration. After that, subjects were put into two major groups based on their intellectual test scores. Based on the median, 10 people were taken at the top of the median, and the other 10 people were taken at the bottom of the median. Every 10 subjects were divided again into two smaller groups to create four small groups of five people in each group. Then, these groups were put into cells by drawing lots. The first major group contained two smaller groups of subjects with high and low intellectual abilities. These groups were given modeling lessons. Similarly, the second major group comprised subjects with high and low intellectual abilities. Only these subjects were given audio-visual media learning. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. All data from this study was processed using the SPSS application. To determine differences in pencak silat learning outcomes in each group, the data obtained from the test and measurement results were analyzed using ANOVA. The results reported that modeling learning and the use of audio-visual media make a difference in pencak silat learning outcomes for students with high and low intellectual abilities. This study also noted that direct learning modeling provides better results than using audio-visual media. This is because when using modeling learning, students can immediately observe and practice what is demonstrated by a model, so the material and practice can be immediately accepted.

Authors: Sumadevi K. T.
Published: August 2024

The hippocampus is a brain region situated deep within the temporal lobe. The hippocampus houses the archipallium cortex, which includes components such as the dentate gyrus, cornu ammonis, and subiculum. Each structure contains different layers and relates to structures around the hippocampus through afferent and efferent nerves.The coupling of afferent and efferent fibers is crucial in supporting the hippocampal function related to memory formation, learning, spatial navigation, and emotion regulation. Previous studies have shown that several neurological diseases are associated with hippocampus abnormalities. The transformations in the hippocampus, spanning from molecular to morphological alterations, have been extensively researched. Progress in science and technology has facilitated a more detailed examination of the hippocampus structure.This article will explore the typical anatomical configuration of the hippocampus, its functionality, and its connections with neighboring structures. Furthermore, it will also address hippocampus alterations in various disease states.

Gastric diverticula are the rarest type of diverticula detected in the gastrointestinal tract. With possible forms of congenital or acquired origin, it shows no gender predominance and is commonest in the ages of 50-70 years. Here, we report a case of gastric diverticulum detected in a 48-year-old female presenting with symptoms of dyspepsia and early satiety. The gastric diverticulum was detected during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, which was further defined by an upper gastrointestinal contrast study. The patient recovered after two weeks of treatment with a proton pump inhibitor and a prokinetic, counselled regarding possible complications and advised to be reviewed if symptoms recur. Although gastric diverticula are rare, this can worsen with ulceration, bleeding, perforation, and malignant transformation. This emphasizes how crucial it is to identify and comprehend this condition in order to provide patients with the proper care and follow-up.

Background and objective: The liver, being the largest organ in the body exhibits various gross morphological characteristics that are valuable and important in diagnostic and interventional radiology as well as in gastroenterological and surgical procedures. This descriptive observational study documents the surface morphological variations of the right lobe of the human liver.Methods: 10% formalin-fixed liver specimens used for undergraduate anatomy teaching at the Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, University of Peradeniya were studied for the surface morphology of the right lobe for shape, diaphragmatic grooves, accessory fissures, and lobes.Results: Twenty specimens from donors above 65 years of age with a female majority (60%) were studied. Morphologically normal right lobes were seen in 11 (55%). Others showed several variations. Accessory fissures were seen in 4 (20%) cases. Accessory lobes were found in 2 (10%) with Ridel’s lobe in 1 (5%) case. Diaphragmatic grooves and costal grooves were reported in 1 (5%) each. Saddle-shaped liver was present in two (10%) cases while 2 (10%) had a hump/ conical-shaped right lobe. A large right lobe was seen in one (5%) specimen.Conclusion: Variations in the shape of the liver and surface morphology of the right lobe are frequent. Knowledge regarding these variations will prevent misdiagnosis of lesions and normal anatomy as well as prevent iatrogenic injuries during procedures of the organ and the surrounding area.

Decompressive craniectomy for “malignant” bilateral anterior cerebral artery infarction (BACAI) has not been reported in the literature. Here we present such a case in relation to its presentation, surgical management, outcome and anatomical basis.Bifronto-temporal decompressive craniectomy was performed on a patient diagnosed with acute infarction in bilateral anterior cerebral artery (ACA) territories and rapidly deteriorating having clinical and radiological signs of tonsillar herniation. Patient sustained several motor disabilities at sixth week following surgery, however, post-operative CT showed reversing of the “conning” with spaced basal cisterns which was compatible with clinical improvement.
Clinicodemographic Features of Plica Neuropathica: A Cross-Sectional Prospective Study
Authors: El-Hamd Mohammed A. , Mohamed Rasha I.
Published: August 2024

Introduction:

Plica neuropathica (PN) is an acquired hair disorder characterized by sudden onset, irreversible hair matting, which seems to be a compact hair mass with irregular twists.

Aim and Objective:

This study aimed to evaluate the clinicodemographic features of PN.

Materials and Methods:

This study was a cross-sectional prospective clinical research that included patients with PN. All the included patients were subjected to a detailed medical history of clinicodemographic data and clinical with trichoscopic examinations of the affected hair and scalp.

Results:

This study included 18 female patients with PN, with a mean age of 23.94 ± 7.9. All the patients presented with PN had acute onset and progressive course, psychological stressful factors preceding PN, negligence of hair care, no history of hair care product use, no history of hair straightening, no previous treatment preceding PN, and no history of systemic diseases. Recurrence of PN was reported in 4 (22.2%) patients. On trichoscopic evaluation, all patients were presented with normal scalp and matting of hair shaft with honey-colored concretions mimicking the “wrangled mesh of wires” appearance. Sixteen (88.9%) patients were treated with cutting hair mass. Most of the included patients reported very large and extremely large effects on the quality of life.

Conclusion:

This study concluded that PN is an uncommon acquired hair matting disorder prevalent in young age females. It is associated with marked impairment of the patient’s quality of life. Psychological stressful factors and negligence of hair care are the main risk factors for PN. Regular hair care measures are essential to prevent hair matting.
Identification of human papillomavirus and Rb/E2F pathway genomic alterations in mixed adeno-neuroendocrine carcinoma
Authors: Ling Feng , Yang Zhihui
Published: August 2024

Objective:

To investigate the molecular characteristics of Rb/E2F in mixed adeno-neuroendocrine carcinoma (MANEC).

Materials and Methods:

The clinicopathological features of MANEC were analyzed. The protein expressions of Rb, p16, and p53 were detected by the immunohistochemical method. The infection status of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) was evaluated by in situ hybridization (ISH) and the gene chip method.

Results:

Thirteen cases of MANEC were divided into four molecular patterns according to Rb protein expression and HPV status. Group 1: A total of eight of the 13 cases showed positive Rb protein expression and lack of HR-HPV expression (8/13, 62%). Rb protein expression with p16 protein deletion and p53 protein abnormal expression was unique to NEC. Group 2: three cases (3/13, 23%) with negative Rb protein expression and lack of HR-HPV expression. Group 3: There was one case (1/13, 8%) with positive expression of Rb protein accompanied by HR-HPV. Group 4: There was one case of Rb protein loss with an HR-HPV-positive status.

Conclusions:

HR-HPV and Rb/p16/p53 pathway can be associated in MANEC pathogenesis, which provides the research basis for personalized treatment of MANEC.
Meniscotibial Ligament Tear and Meniscocapsular Detachment of Anterior Horn of the Lateral Meniscus

The meniscotibial ligament (MTL) tear, along with a meniscocapsular separation, is a very rarely diagnosed injury pattern often missed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The meniscus becomes hypermobile and can cause anterior knee pain, instability, and frequent locking. A 29-year-old female patient presented to the outpatient department with a history of a noncontact injury 3 months ago. Her Tegner Lysholm Knee Score was 41/100. On examination, there was lateral joint line tenderness and a positive McMurray test with a clicking sensation. MRI was performed, which showed torn fascicles in the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus. Knee arthroscopy confirmed that MTL was completely torn along with meniscocapsular detachment. A Scorpion jaw (Arthrex, Naples, FL) loaded with 2-0 FiberWire was used to take three bites from the meniscus. These ends of sutures were loaded on a 2.9 mm PushLock anchor and inserted at the tibia border. An 18G needle was loaded with a monofilament nitinol loop suture and passed through the capsule into the joint. A suture retriever was used to pick suture ends and pass through the loop. The monofilament loop was then pulled to pass the FiberWire ends from the capsule. All six FiberWire ends were passed through the capsule and three knots were tied from outside to reattach the capsule. This kind of injury can lead to anterolateral instability of the knee. Diagnosis of this lesion is very challenging and crucial. Biomechanical instability has prompted us to pay specific attention to its investigation and management. The described repair technique gives good results due to rigid fixation and the postoperative rehabilitation is also fast.
