Celos, un desborde en el registro del amor
Authors: Garnero Fiorella
Published: January 2025

Surge de las voces que hablan de violencia, relatos que enmudecen y cuerpos que estallan. Brota la certeza en una única evocación: los celos son su causa. Desde allí, nos proponemos interrogar la estructura de los celos y el papel que la contemporaneidad desempeña al momento de afirmar su andamiaje. Comenzaremos nuestro recorrido por el abordaje efectuado desde diferentes enfoques: la filosofía con Descartes; la semiótica con Greimás y Fontanille; la perspectiva clínica estructural de Freud y Lacan y, la mirada sobre la época actual de Byung Chul Han. Luego, dilucidaremos acerca de tales contribuciones y repararemos en las relaciones y/o disidencias que las citadas perspectivas ofrecen al campo del conocimiento sobre los celos. Por último, a fin de arribar a nuestras conclusiones, analizaremos la propensión al acto en demasía, en tanto éste ha hecho emerger aquellas voces oídas en los sectores más vulnerables de la ciudad de Salta.
Nuestra Señora de Peneda: un Santuario de Montaña en el Norte de Portugal
Authors: Ceruti María Constanza
Published: January 2025

El presente estudio aborda el santuario de montaña dedicado a Nuestra Señora de Peneda, en el norte de Portugal. Enclavado al pie de un majestuoso “penedo” rocoso y dedicado a Nuestra Señora de las Nieves, este santuario en la cuenca del Alto Minho sobresale por su espectacular emplazamiento. Desde hace siglos los peregrinos recorren decenas de kilómetros a pie por antiguas sendas montañosas para acercar plegarias y ofrendas a una pequeña imagen de la Virgen, considerada capaz de realizar grandes milagros. La investigación se enmarca dentro de estudios que la autora viene realizando desde hace tres décadas sobre montañas sagradas del mundo y el trabajo de campo se enfocó en el ascenso al Penedo Meadinha, la recorrida de antiguas sendas de peregrinaje, observaciones en el Vía Crucis, la peña y el templo, además de entrevistas informales a turistas, devotos, cuidadores del santuario y gestores del albergue para peregrinos.
El derecho a adoptar de las familias de acogida
Authors: Cimino Martín Ignacio
Published: January 2025

El presente análisis del fallo “C, A. M s/Medidas precautorias - Familia” expte. 86054/2017 de la Sala E de la Cámara Nacional Civil es una propuesta para pensar si es posible anteponer las exigencias legales de forma —como la inscripción previa ante el Registro de Aspirantes a Guarda con Fines Adoptivos— por sobre la realidad afectiva de un niño. En el caso de estudio se defiende la posibilidad de que una familia de acogida pueda acceder a una adopción de aquel que tiene en tránsito a su cuidado cuando, por el excesivo paso del tiempo, se ha formado un vínculo evidente que los consolide como familia. No puede anteponerse la letra de una ley nacional a principios convencionales y naturales, como es el interés superior del niño y el derecho de todo ser humano a que el Estado respete y proteja a su familia. Ya ha afirmado la Suprema Corte de Buenos Aires que “(...) si el niño se instrumentaliza para preservar una supuesta intangibilidad del orden que fija el Registro, se invierten los valores, consagrándose el interés superior del Registro, no del niño”.
La reforma constitucional y sus límites. Casos “Fayt” y “Schiffrin”
Authors: Colombo Ignacio
Published: January 2025

La reforma de 1994 enfrentó, por primera vez en la historia constitucional argentina, la declaración jurisdiccional de nulidad de uno de los artículos incorporados por la Convención Constituyente. En efecto, el art. 99 inc. 4, relativo a la duración de los jueces en sus funciones, fue invalidado en el precedente “Fayt”. No obstante, en un nuevo pronunciamiento, “Schiffrin”, la Corte Suprema de Justicia de la Nación restableció su vigencia. Ello nos lleva indefectiblemente a reflexionar, por un lado y en general, cuáles son los límites a las reformas constitucionales; y, por el otro, cuál es el tema concreto que motivó tantos vaivenes y conflictos a la hora de interpretar y aplicar nuestra Constitución reformada. En este trabajo, entonces, se abordará críticamente el proceso de reforma constitucional, sus límites y los vaivenes que se produjeron con relación a la constitucionalidad del artículo en cuestión. Se buscará, en ese marco, arribar a conclusiones respecto del significado y alcance del proceso de reforma constitucional.

Ureterocele Complicated by Ureteral Calculi: A Case Report with Morpho-Constitutional Analysis of Calcium Oxalate Dihydrate and Carbapatite Composition Calculi
Authors: Belhachem Abdelaali
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Ureterocele is a congenital abnormality characterized by cystic dilation of the ureter, which predisposes patients to urinary
stasis, infections, and the formation of stones. It occurs in approximately 1 in 4,000 individuals, with a higher prevalence in women.
Case Presentation: A 41-year-old woman with hypertension presented with a ureteral stone associated with a ureterocele, which was diagnosed
through imaging studies. Laboratory findings were within normal limits, revealing that the stone was composed of calcium oxalate dihydrate
(Weddellite) and Carbapatite. The stone was removed via endoscopy subsequently analyzed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)
and optical microscopy.
Discussion: Ureteroceles create conditions conducive to stone formation due to urinary stasis and altered urine flow. In this case, the absence
of infection suggests that stasis was the primary mechanism behind the formation of the stones.
Conclusion: Timely diagnosis and surgical intervention are essential for preventing recurrent stones and preserving renal function in patients
with ureteroceles.

Authors: Zhuoxian Wang , Noor Nor Azila Mohd , Mohamed Ahmad Martadha
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the factors influencing green patronage behavior among customers of five-star green hotels in China, addressing a novel gap in the hospitality sector. A cross-sectional survey design was employed, with data collected from a convenience sample of respondents. A total of 503 valid responses were analyzed using SmartPLS 4, a structural equation modeling tool that enabled the examination of complex relationships among variables. The findings reveal that environmental concern, attitudes toward green hotels, and the perceived role of government significantly influence green patronage intention (GPI). In turn, GPI positively impacts green patronage behavior (GPB), highlighting its critical role in mediating the relationship between antecedent factors and behavioral outcomes. The study further confirms that environmental concern, the perceived role of government, and attitudes toward green hotels positively affect GPB through GPI, emphasizing the importance of fostering environmental awareness and positive perceptions of green initiatives. By addressing a gap in understanding consumer behavior within China’s rapidly evolving green hospitality sector, this research provides valuable insights for practitioners and policymakers. It underscores the necessity of promoting sustainable practices and supportive policies to enhance green patronage. The study’s theoretical contributions and practical implications are further discussed.
Bilateral reverse shoulder arthroplasty: functional outcomes and technical considerations
Authors: Boufadel Peter , Lopez Ryan , Daher Mohammad , Koa Jonathan , Fares Mohamad Y. , Yao Jie J. , Abboud Joseph A.
Published: January 2025

As the incidence of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) continues to increase with its expanding indications, a growing number of patients are being considered for bilateral RSA. This review aims to explore the functional outcomes of patients with bilateral RSA and examine the effect of risk factors and implant positioning on internal rotation. Multiple studies have reported favorable results in bilateral RSA patients, with significantly improved patient-reported and clinical outcomes bilaterally. Although challenges remain in achieving reliable improvements in internal rotation following RSA, several studies to date have demonstrated that bilateral RSA patients are able to retain independence in personal hygiene and activities of daily living, with difficulty experienced primarily only in extreme internal rotation tasks, such as washing the back or securing a bra. Nevertheless, compensatory strategies can enable patients to manage these limitations effectively. Patients who have undergone bilateral RSA demonstrate functional outcomes and perform internal rotation tasks at a level comparable to that of patients who have undergone bilateral anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty or a combination of total shoulder arthroplasty and RSA. Risk factors for internal rotation deficits after RSA include poor preoperative functional internal rotation, increased body mass index, preoperative opioid use, and preoperative diagnosis of a massive irreparable rotator cuff tear. Lateralization and inferior positioning of the glenoid component as well as humeral component retroversion can increase functional internal rotation, while repairing the subscapularis does not appear to offer any clinically significant benefit. Although some patient and surgical factors have been associated with internal rotation deficits after RSA, further investigation is necessary to better characterize the underlying causes of this issue.

Published: January 2025

Em 2021, Goiás se destaca como o 2º maior produtor nacional de milho e a maior parte do consumo no estado se destina a fabricação de ração para aves e suínos. O objetivo do trabalho é identificar a existência de clusters espaciais no complexo agroindustrial do milho em Goiás. A migração de fazendeiros do Sul e Sudeste é explicada pela busca de maiores ganhos de escala com terra abundante, menores custos de produção e de transação e, principalmente, pela maior competitividade, com auxílio dos subsídios do governo estadual. A metodologia contempla a pesquisa bibliográfica e coleta de dados secundários em sítios de órgãos públicos com a utilização da estatística espacial e da pesquisa exploratória dos dados espaciais municipais das variáveis produtivas. Os resultados revelam que nos municípios da microrregião Sudoeste de Goiás há forte autocorrelação positiva entre as variáveis, área colhida, quantidade produzida e rendimento médio do milho, indicando grande tendência de serem considerados clusters espaciais (Alto-Alto). Entretanto, há também outros elementos institucionais e estruturais que colaboram para a organização das aglomerações produtivas do complexo do milho. Conclui-se que houve a identificação dos municípios mais dinâmicos que compõem os clusters espaciais do milho, localizados na Mesorregião Sul Goiano, região tradicional na produção de grãos no estado de Goiás, como soja, sorgo e cana-de-açúcar.

VERB GENDER AND VERB POLYSEMY: THE METHODOLOGICAL STEP OF THE STUDY
Authors: Avetisyan G.
Published: January 2025

The problem of studying polysemous verbs is up-to-date, because the measure of the richness of both the language and the speech of each person is the ability to master the content side of the language. In terms of enriching students’ vocabulary, the ability to build speech, and acquiring solid knowledge of verbal and grammatical meanings, the correct choice of methods and ways of studying polysemous verbs is important. In this sense, we consider important the requirement of that choice and their perfect application methodically, because the verb has more grammatical features than all parts of speech. This circumstance makes it necessary to move from the observation of partial, separate features of the linguistic reality to the general, summary stage.

Through this article, we aim to present several questions regarding the teaching of the topic “Verb gender and verb polysemy”, which will ensure the quality of the educational process, will contribute to the acquisition of relevant knowledge and skills of students.

The concept of verb gender is directly related to the concept of verb meaning. In this case, we are dealing with broad lexical and grammatical meanings. As G. Sevak notes, “The literal meaning is the content expressed by each word, by which any object, feature, action, existence, etc. of nature, society and thinking is specified and named. Grammatical meaning is the content expressed by the independence of a single word or through different forms of the same word, by which the various relations of the given general or verbal meaning are specified”.

The gender of the verb in modern Armenian is expressed through the contrasts formed by special genders and verbs compounded with them, such as: read-to be read, to hear-to be heard, to rise-to raise-to be raised, etc. In modern Armenian, three genders of the verb are distinguished: active, passive and neutral. Passive verbs indicate an action that passes from the subject to the subordinate, the subordinate carries the action on himself (to be loved, read, built, etc.). Accusative verbs are formed from passive verbs with suffix v. Verbs of passive gender require the complement of an indirect subject, placed in the exclusive, sometimes in the active case. Verbs of the neutral gender indicate an action for which neither the subject nor the subject carries the action (smiling, combing, dwelling, etc.).

Published: January 2025

Documentary films can be a great tool for developing high school students’ speaking skills, as they provide a rich source of information and ideas that can be used to spark conversations and debates. Watching documentary films can be an effective way to improve learners’ speaking skills because they provide them with opportunities to learn new vocabulary and enhance their ability to express their thoughts and ideas in a clear and concise manner. It also helps to develop students’ pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency and each of them is important and necessary for developing communicative skills.

Documentaries can also develop critical thinking and analytical skills by presenting different perspectives on a topic. They can offer insights into the lives and experiences of people from diverse backgrounds, helping individuals to cultivate empathy and understanding. This, in turn, can lead to more effective communication with people from different cultures and backgrounds.

Moreover, using documentary films as a basis for classroom activities can be a great way to engage students in creative thinking.

Authors: Aghanyan G. , Galoyan M.
Published: January 2025

Youth education is undergoing a major change. New branches of education are emerging. One of these branches is Olympic education. This kind of education is an inseparable part of physical education.

The article presents the content of Olympic education and its influence on the moral culture of schoolchildren, in details. Olympic education is based on political, humanitarian, pedagogical ideas of modern Olympism. The paper examines the positive results of using Olympic education in the process of schoolchildren’s education, physical education and sports trainings.

In modern times, mastering Olympic knowledge is very necessary for the development of the Olympic movement and the progress of the whole society. However, the results of many studies conducted among
schoolchildren show that, along with the growth of interest among young ­people in sports and Olympic Games, there is a weak assimilation of the ideals, values and traditions of Olympism. Considering the relevance of the topic, the theoretical and practical significance of the problem, we conducted a social survey among 90 bisexual high school students in 3 public schools in 2023, Gyumri revealing that young people show great interest in sports and the Olympic Games. However, there is still a low level of moral education culture among schoolchildren, which is confirmed by the results of our study.

Authors: Khachatryan N.
Published: January 2025

Youth football has specific requirements related to the functional capabilities of the growing body, making it crucial to carefully dose the training process to enhance key skills and abilities.In football, explosive movements at maximum speed with frequent repetitions are common. Therefore, a decision was made to develop an interval training methodology aimed at improving specific motor actions for targeted impact on youth athletes.As an interval method, speed intervals were used: 60 meters with 4 minutes of rest, 45 meters with 3 minutes of rest, 34 meters with 2 minutes and 25 seconds of rest, 25 meters with 1 minute and 41 seconds of rest, and 19 meters with 1 minute and 16 seconds of rest.The control group, instead of the interval method, used a small-sided game in a square, measuring 2x 15 meters/15 meters with 4/3 players, for 4 repetitions of 2 minutes each, with 30 seconds of rest between repetitions. During the game, the team of 4 players rotated with a team of 3 players by substituting one player.The application of interval training protocols and the integration of small-sided game formats, such as exercises in a restricted area (square games), demonstrate a significant improvement in speed endurance for football players, enhancing this indicator by 5.4% and 1.8%, respectively.The study did not reveal statistically significant differences between the groups despite a higher percentage increase in speed endurance in the EG.

Published: January 2025

Obesity among children and adolescents is on the rise and are associated with high blood pressure, lipid abnormalities, diabetes, and sleep apnea. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents from Central Alabama over three years. Additionally, this study examined the association between obesity and the following variables: resting heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and blood glucose. The data set used in this study included 1,198 male and female children between the ages of 5 and 14 living in Central Alabama. Body Mass Index (BMI) Percentile, resting heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and blood glucose were collected annually from 2015 to 2017. BMI percentile was used to determine the prevalence of obesity both overall and by age group (younger vs. older) and by sex for each year. One-way analysis of covariance examined the relationship between BMI percentile (underweight, normal, overweight, or obese) and resting heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and blood glucose when controlling for sex. The relationships were assessed using the group overall and separately by age (younger vs. older) and sex. Older children in the study, particularly older females, were likelier to have BMIs in the top quartile for percentiles. Males were more likely to have higher glucose scores than females. The data indicates that children’s BMI percentiles continue to rise as they age, which may lead to poor outcomes later in life.

Published: January 2025

Anterior chamber intraocular lens and scleral fixated intraocular lens are key options for patients without capsular support, necessitating a comparison of their visual outcomes and complications. Objectives: To analyze and contrast the postoperative visual results and complications amongst patients who underwent cataract surgery or secondary lens implantation and received either an anterior chamber intraocular lens or a scleral fixated intraocular lens. Methods: The total number of participants was n=120: Group I involved 60 eyes that received an anterior chamber intraocular lens while Group II involved 60 eyes that were given a scleral fixated intraocular lens. The primary outcomes measured were best-corrected visual acuity before the procedure and then at 1-, 3-, and 6-months post-op, whereas secondary outcomes included complications such as inflammation, elevated intraocular pressure, dislocation of the artificial intraocular lens, as well as other postoperative adverse events. SPSS 23 was used. Results: At the 6-month mark, both groups demonstrated significant improvement in best-corrected visual acuity compared to pre-op levels, with no noteworthy difference in final visual acuity between those who received an anterior chamber intraocular lens versus a scleral fixated intraocular lens. The mean best-corrected visual acuity for Group I was 6/9 whereas Group II presented with a mean best-corrected visual acuity of 6/12 (p>0.05). No significant discrepancies in complication rates were observed between the two procedures. Conclusions: It was concluded that anterior chamber intraocular lens implantation and scleral fixated intraocular lens implantation can yield positive visual outcomes for patients undergoing cataract surgery or secondary lens implantation.

Published: January 2025

The key factors affecting domestic rice production in Preah Vihear Province, Cambodia, are investigated in this study. Cambodia’s economy depends largely on rice, which is both a main food and a major export. It helps Cambodia’s economy and food security. However, rice production is difficult due to lack of water, small farms, and geographical problems. Preah Vihear province is a key rice-producing region with hills and small farms. It helps increase income and sell rice to other countries with unique and famous rice seeds. To analyze the factors affecting domestic rice production in Preah Vihear, a statistical model known as ordinary least squares (OLS) will be used to examine the relationship between various input variables (costs) and rice yield. Data were gathered from a sample of 51 rice-farming households across five villages in Preah Vihear province. Additionally, both regression models indicated that herbicide costs were the most significant factor affecting rice yield, demonstrating high significance at the 5% level. This was closely followed by the price for renting rice harvesters and the total land area for rice production (ton). This study provides crucial information that can be used to develop targeted strategies to increase rice production and enhance the livelihoods of rural farmers. This will also empower stakeholders in the agricultural sector to propose campaigns that promote sustainable rice cultivation in local communities.

Published: January 2025

With over 80% of Malaysia's fields using gas lifts, tackling late-life challenges is crucial for maintaining oil production. Issues like gas lift gas shortages, aging infrastructure, and rising water cuts limit efficient oil recovery, prompting the search for alternative lift technologies. Replacing gas lift systems is complex, making it essential to streamline candidate identification. This study proposes an automated pre-screening approach to quickly evaluate candidates, reducing the time and effort needed to process numerous wells. The system, tested with data from Fields B, D, and S, pre-screens strings to identify opportunities for detailed analysis. By digitizing this process, automation narrows down potential candidates for electrical submersible pump (ESP) design, economic assessment, and other enhancements, saving time and broadening candidate selection. This method extends to acid stimulation, gas lift optimization, and water shut-off candidates, revolutionizing the process and improving decision-making for production enhancement activities.
Kusttrålundersökning 2024 – Övervakning av bottenlevande fisk längs svenska västkusten
Authors: Svensson Filip , Andersson Linda , Ovegård Maria , Ovegård Mikael , Bergman Johanna , Morgan Linnea
Published: January 2025

Detta är expeditionsrapporten för 2024 års kusttrålundersökning som genomförs årligen längs svenska västkusten. Undersökningen har utförts sedan 2001 med syfte att övervaka det kustnära och bottenlevande fisksamhället, rekryteringen (sedan 2013) av bottenlevande fisk samt ett särskilt fokus på förekomst av stor torsk (Gadus morhua). Undersökningen tillför även grundläggande data avseende indikatorer för kustfiskarter inom ramen för arbetet med Havsmiljödirektivet. Undersökningsområdet sträcker sig från utsjöbanken Fladen i norra Kattegatt upp till Singlefjorden vid norska gränsen i Skagerrak.

Undersökningen utfördes under tio dagar mellan den 2 och 13 september 2024. Totalt bottentrålades 35 stationer, varav nio stationer låg i utsjön och 26 låg vid kusten inklusive fjordarna. Vitling (Merlangius merlangus) 0-åringar (< 17 cm) dominerade fångsterna både i utsjön och längs kusten. Fångsterna av vitling under 2024 i utsjön (där även vitling upptill 40 cm förekom) var det högsta som registrerats sedan kusttrålningens start 2001. Antalet torskar i fångsterna var fortsatt mycket lågt och 0-åringar (<18 cm) dominerade. Endast sex torskar över 40 cm fångades. Noterbart var att fångsterna av 1-årig kolja (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) i utsjön under 2024 hade minskat jämfört med 2023 års rekordnotering och längs kusten så ökade fångsterna av 0-årig kolja marginellt jämfört med 2023 års fångster. Under 2024 fortsatte föregående års höga fångster av rödspätta (Pleuronectes platessa) i utsjön och låga fångster längs kusten. Den genomsnittliga fångsten av knaggrocka (Raja clavata) längs kusten var rekordhög till stor del p.g.a. ett enskilt hal med totalt 40 kg knaggrocka från Ösöfjorden utanför Hunnebostrand. I Kosterfjorden fångades även två exemplar av hajen blåkäxa (Etmopterus spinax), en sällsynt art i kusttrålundersökningen. Totalt fångades 33 fiskarter, tre arter av bläckfiskar samt havskräfta (Nephrops norvegicus) och hummer (Homarus gammarus).

O açude de Nova Camará concentra-se numa região em que a cobertura geológica e morfológica é bastante acidentada, sendo necessário estudos que indiquem áreas mais vulneráveis a problemas de cobertura hídrica das redes de drenagem, principalmente localizados na área que abrange a bacia de contribuição do reservatório e o seu entorno, do rio Mamanguape. A utilização de ferramentas do Geoprocessamento e do Sensoriamento Remoto, muito contribuiu para identificação e monitoramento de áreas com maiores distribuição de corpos hídricos ao longo dos afluentes com o riacho Riachão, o Amarelo e o rio Camará. No ano de 2018, pós prolongada estiagem, se observou, através do mapeamento temático, cerca de 128 pontos de fontes hídricas, sendo essas pequenos açudes ou lagos, e após 4 anos, em 2023, a quantidade de pequenos represamentos aumentaram para 295 corpos hídricos, o que resulta num aumento do desequilíbrio dos cursos dos rios e consequentemente problemas no aporte hídrico da barragem da área de estudo.

Published: January 2025

Due to the existing shift towards the search for family entertainment the entertainment industry is challenged to
combine different target audiences while creating an artistic vision of the production. The use of machine learning
(ML) and generative AI allows for a revolutionary way of improving viewing pleasures. To this end, this study aims
at examining how best to implement the usage of ML algorithms to recognize the objectionable content and
substitute it with appropriate animated content. Furthermore, there are auto-skip features for over viewing graphic
scenes for they are made to skip such scenes smoothly. In this context, focusing on converting live-action content
into animations, the framework is oriented on maintaining the progress of a storyline and providing an opportunity
to watch films for children. In terms of artwork style and format, generative AI provides uniformity because it
mimics the specific style used in artworks in terms of fine-tuning specific scenes, the ML that is trained on the
audiences’ preferences assist in best scenes selection. It is also noteworthy that this work tackles the questions
related to ethical aspects of the work such as the issues of a copyright and cultural orientation. The discoveries
identify the great possibility of AI driven instruments in developing a better entertainment that is more open to
everyone along with improving the ability of the viewers to select what they need.

Democracia e Islam
Authors: Echeverría Jesús Carlos
Published: January 2025

El libro Democracia e Islam, ¿una relación imposible? aporta una reflexión colectiva que es valiente y además oportuna. Frente al predominio de lo políticamente correcto, los cinco capítulos que incluye la obra ahondan en temas particulares que, vistos en conjunto, ponen de manifiesto las dificultades existentes ayer y hoy a la hora de tratar de armonizar los valores democráticos y los emanados de una interpretación más o menos estricta del Islam. [...]Una aproximación histórica nos demuestra cómo los intentos modernizadores vividos, por ejemplo, en el Egipto de la primera mitad del siglo XIX bajo el liderazgo de Muhammad Ali, en la moderna República de Turquía fundada por Mustafá Kemal tras abolir el Califato en 1924, o en el Irán de la dinastía Pahlevi durante buena parte del siglo XX chocaron con obstáculos impuestos por sectores clerical-conservadores, que acusaron a aquellos de desviarse del Islam y de dejarse influir por ideas infieles.Ayer tales frenos procedían de sectores sociales concretos y hoy lo siguen haciendo dinamizados además por Estados que han decidido, con mayor o menor intensidad, hacer de sus políticas exteriores herramientas para diseminar visiones que, desde el punto de vista de nuestros valores, son retrógradas y algunas claramente inaceptables. Estados que van desde Irán hasta Arabia Saudí pasando por Qatar, Emiratos Árabes Unidos, Kuwait o Turquía.Además, dos dimensiones concretas permiten aprehender los contenidos más rechazables de la ideología islamista. Por un lado, el activismo yihadista -activo desde Afganistán hasta Oriente Próximo pasando por el Sahel en los escenarios aquí estudiados- y la ideología que los alimenta, el yihadismo, incompatible con la democracia aunque grupos islamistas más o menos radicalizados se aprovechen en ocasiones de la misma para lograr visibilidad y poder. La otra dimensión muestra cómo dicho islamismo, más o menos radicalizado, priva a la mujer de protagonismo e incluso de visibilidad en la sociedad.
