VEMOS COMO PENSAMOS: PENSAR LA MIRADA: VISUALISMO, OBSERVACION ETNOGRÁFICA Y EPISTEMOLOGÍA FEMINISTA.
Authors: Méndez Pérez Lourdes
Published: January 2025

La antropología, que considera la observación como su método y técnica constitutiva,
elude reflexionar sobre la mirada. Eso permite obviar la incidencia del visualismo en la
descripción etnográfica, sea esta textual o visual, y en la construcción del conocimiento
antropológico. El visualismo erige al ojo en el órgano por excelencia para captar el
mundo, objetivarlo y representarlo. Las teóricas feministas desvelarán las consecuencias
epistemológicas y políticas de que ese ojo que mira y que, a partir de su mirada, produce
representaciones canónicas sobre el mundo y sobre los Otros, haya sido el de un sujeto
masculino occidental.
LAS MUJERES EN EL ESPACIO PÚBLICO DEL (NO)EXILIO COLOMBIANO: UNA REFLEXIÓN SOBRE EL TRABAJO DE LA CEV EN EUROPA.
Authors: Bermúdez Torres Anastasia
Published: January 2025

Este texto para el debate parte de un trabajo etnográfico longitudinal realizado desde
mediados de los años noventa del s. XX con personas migrantes y refugiadas colombianas
en Europa. A partir de varios estudios y experiencia participando en el trabajo de la
Comisión de la Verdad (CEV) en el exterior, el objetivo principal es reflexionar sobre
como las mujeres exiliadas sufren una doble invisibilización, lo que repercute en su
reconocimiento público e interno. Sin embargo, el papel de las mujeres colombianas
migradas y exiliadas ha sido muy importante dentro de sus comunidades y de cara al
contexto político colombiano. El trabajo de la CEV entre las víctimas del conflicto en el
exterior ha significado, hasta cierto punto, un momento de inflexión. A nivel institucional,
ha ayudado a posicionar el exilio en la agenda política colombiana, así como generado
nuevas instancias de colaboración dentro del activismo político transnacional de los y las
colombianas en el exterior. Aunque en dicho proceso se han reproducido esquemas de
liderazgo y visibilidad de género tradicionales, también se han abierto nuevos espacios que contribuyen a visibilizar la condición y agencia política de las exiliadas colombianas.
MELANCOLIA, GENIO Y LOCURA EN LA OBRA SIMBOLISTA DE JULIO RUELAS.
Authors: López Velarde Estrada Mónica
Published: January 2025

Julio Ruelas está enterrado en el cementerio de Montparnasse, París; había nacido en
Zacatecas, México. Moría a los treinta y siete años. Una corta vida con una intensa obra.
A la producción simbolista de Ruelas lo envuelve una gran consideración sobre su
temperamento melancólico. Autor de creaturas fabulosas, hijas del miedo, el caos y la
muerte, mostró hasta el final de su vida un cierto “desquiciamiento” en los temas, a partir
de una imaginación desplegada en la plenitud de sus visiones violentas y desdichadas,
liberadas de prejuicios como ninguna otra representación en el panorama artístico
mexicano de finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX.
TENSIONES ENTRE LA PRÁCTICA DE LA BRUJERÍA Y LA DOCTRINA EVANGÉLICA EN COMUNIDADES SURANDINAS.
Authors: Cazorla Zen Carmen , Encarnación- Pinedo Miriam
Published: January 2025

En el presente artículo se analiza cómo el entramado simbólico de las prácticas de la
brujería andina entra en conflicto con la doctrina de la Iglesia evangélica asentada en las
comunidades indígenas surandinas, en particular, en la región de Ayacucho. Estas Iglesias
libran una guerra espiritual contra los pobladores que ejercen estas prácticas: las “almas
desobedientes”, las cuales son llamadas al arrepentimiento o sometidas a rituales de
purificación que conducen a la “salvación de sus almas”. No obstante, en estos espacios,
la brujería está legitimada como una práctica social aceptada dentro del imaginario
mágico-religioso.

En abril de 1972 tuvo lugar en Santiago de Chile la III Conferencia de Naciones
Unidas para el Comercio y el Desarrollo (UNCTAD), que significó un gran logro de la política
exterior del gobierno de Salvador Allende. El país se convirtió en una vitrina y escenario de una
de las más acuciantes luchas contemporáneas, la reivindicación de los países subdesarrollados,
precisamente por la experiencia allí iniciada o “vía chilena al socialismo”. A través de la
reconstrucción de aquella Conferencia este artículo revisa la forma en que los países en desarrollo

Słoneczna polityka – założenia i rezultaty polityki zbliżenia dwóch państw koreańskich
Authors: Sowa Kamil
Published: January 2025

The Sunshine Policy, initiated by Kim Dae-jung, was aimed at bringing peace to the Korean Peninsula and intensifying relations between the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (later North Korea) and the Republic of Korea (later South Korea). Cooperation on the political level was to be accompanied by economic cooperation, in the long term leading to a rapprochement between the societies of the two countries. Political tensions arising from the development of nuclear capabilities by North Korea significantly hampered political cooperation, although this did not necessarily translate into the halting of the Sunshine Policy in other dimensions. The aim of this article is to examine the Sunshine Policy through an economic as well as a social prism. The abandonment of the Sunshine Policy with the coming to power of the conservatives permanently weakened the interdependence structure that had been established between the two Koreas since 1998. This situation could not be reversed by the proponent of the Sunshine Policy and President of South Korea since 2017, Moon Jae-in, either. The analysis of this issue is based on academic papers in the field, statistical data prepared by the South Korean Ministry of Unification, as well as a database of surveys conducted over almost two decades among the South Korean public.
Jak głęboko należy się ukłonić, czyli hierarchia w społeczeństwie koreańskim na przykładzie sposobów witania się
Authors: Wilczyński Tomasz
Published: January 2025

The paper deals with the issue of hierarchy in Korean society explaining it using examples of how Korean people greet themselves. The longstanding influence of Confucianism has created a society, where human relationships are built on a hierarchy that is characterized by high power distance and low individualism. An individual is only a part of a larger whole, with family being the foundation of society, on which other social structures are modeled and supported. As a result, a very extensive system of greetings has been developed, which in itself is a mirror of the hierarchical structure of Korean society.
Kontestowanie historii kobiet pocieszycielek
Authors: Pierzynka Małgorzata
Published: January 2025

Despite the passage of time, the memory of the comfort women is still present in public discourse. These women, after years of being silenced, decided to tell their story, thus forcing the Japanese government to officially respond to the crimes committed against women during World War II. Japanese government officials initially denied the responsibility of the Japanese army and exacerbated the diplomatic conflict with South Korea. Other authorities, including professors from prestigious universities, questioned the forcing of these women into sexual slavery. Contesting the history of comfort women is taking place at various levels of society, both among ordinary people and also those considered to be authority, violating the dignity of the victims of war. Where does freedom of speech end when we discuss such a painful chapter of history?
Koreańska kultura biznesowa a kolektywizm
Authors: Lee Seungik
Published: January 2025

In this article, the author presents the fundamental sources of collectivist culture found in East Asia, especially in South Korea, using them as examples to describe selected aspects of Korean business culture and its practical implications. The primary source of the development of Korean collectivist culture is the Confucian tradition, which values social relationships above individual interests and prioritizes the good of the group over the well-being of the individual. Confucianism reached the Korean Peninsula as early as the 1st century CE and, by the late 14th century, with the rise of the Joseon dynasty (1392–1910), was elevated to the status of the state’s official ideology. This explains its profound influence on reinforcing collectivist culture in both premodern and contemporary Korea. A tangible example of this is the agrarian society model (chonrak), which was cultivated during the Joseon era. Additionally, the dramatic experiences of Japanese occupation (1910–1945) further strengthened collectivist culture. In the 21st century, an excellent example of collectivist culture is business culture, which is the main focus of this article.
Zawłaszczenie kulturowe czy hybrydyzacja kultury? Wybrane przypadki występowania motywów indyjskich w twórczości koreańskiego duetu Norazo
Authors: Czekalska Renata
Published: January 2025

The article contributes to an understanding of the dynamics of cultural interaction in a globalised world. Focusing on selected aspects of the work of the musical duo Norazo, it analyses the presence of Indian motifs in Korean popular culture and then attempts to distinguish the boundaries between cultural appropriation and cultural hybridisation in the context of K-pop. Using theoretical tools such as Ulf Hannerz’s concept of cultural hybridisation and Susan Scafidi’s definition of cultural appropriation, various aspects of the presence of Indian culture in K-pop have been repositioned.
New Analysis of an Away-Step Frank–Wolfe Method for Minimizing Log-Homogeneous Barriers
Authors: Zhao Renbo
Published: January 2025

We present and analyze an away-step Frank–Wolfe method for the convex optimization problem [Formula: see text], where f is a θ-logarithmically homogeneous self-concordant barrier, [Formula: see text] is a linear operator that may be noninvertible, [Formula: see text] is a linear function, and [Formula: see text] is a nonempty polytope. The applications of primary interest include D-optimal design, inference of multivariate Hawkes processes, and total variation-regularized Poisson image deblurring. We establish affine-invariant and norm-independent global linear convergence rates of our method in terms of both the objective gap and the Frank–Wolfe gap. When specialized to the D-optimal design problem, our results settle a question left open since Ahipasaoglu et al. [Ahipasaoglu SD, Sun P, Todd MJ (2008) Linear convergence of a modified Frank–Wolfe algorithm for computing minimum-volume enclosing ellipsoids. Optim. Methods Software 23(1):5–19]. We also show that the iterates generated by our method will land on and remain in a face of [Formula: see text] within a bounded number of iterations, which can lead to improved local linear convergence rates (for both the objective gap and the Frank–Wolfe gap). We conduct numerical experiments on D-optimal design and inference of multivariate Hawkes processes, and our results not only demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our method compared with other principled first-order methods but also, corroborate our theoretical results quite well.

Authors: Hwang Jae-Seo , Kang Young-Sun , Lee Ka-Young , Kim Wan-Soo
Published: January 2025

Onion cultivation in Korea faces challenges in mechanization due to small-scale farming plots, sloped terrains, and varying cultivation methods across different regions. Onion farming is conducted in both upland fields and paddy fields. The objective of this study is to evaluate and analyze the performance of commercial onion harvesters in Changnyeong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, one of the major onion-producing areas. In this study, two representative digging-type harvesters were tested in both upland and paddy field environments, with work efficiency and loss rate selected as performance indicators. The comparison of harvester performance in upland fields showed that harvester A and B had work efficiencies of 0.157 ha/h and 0.153 ha/h, respectively, with loss rates of 0.28% and 1.11%, indicating that Harvester A performed better. In the paddy field, the work efficiencies of harvester A and B were 0.167 ha/h and 0.24 ha/h, respectively, with harvester B performing better. The loss rates were 0.42% and 0.55%, respectively. These findings are expected to provide valuable insights for the development of harvesters optimized for specific field conditions.

Published: January 2025

Background: The evolution of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to multiple variants with significant public health implications.

Objective: This study aimed to detect and characterize SARS-CoV-2 genomic variants in Thailand using next-generation sequencing (NGS) from 2020 to 2023.

Materials and methods: A total of 2,592 oro/nasopharyngeal swab specimens with high viral loads (cycle threshold; Ct≤25.0) were collected from SARS-CoV2-positive patients in Nonthaburi, Nakhon Phanom, and Tak Provinces. NGS was performed using Ion Torrent, Oxford Nanopore Technologies, and Illumina platforms to identify and analyze SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Results: The sequencing revealed various SARS-CoV-2 variants circulating in Thailand, with 2,592 lineages identified. The Omicron variant was predominant, accounting for 93.44% (2,422/2,592). The most common Omicron subvariants were BA.2 (54.86%, 1,422/2,592), BA.5 (20.22%, 524/2,592), and XBB (14.51%, 376/2,592). The Delta variant constituted 2.66% (69/2,592) of the cases, with AY.30 (1.20%, 31/2,592) and AY.85 (1.27%, 33/2,592) being the most frequent sub-lineages. The Alpha variant (B.1.1.7) was detected in 33 cases (1.27%), and the Beta variant (B.1.351) in 1 case (0.04%).

Conclusion: The findings reveal a significant shift in the SARS-CoV-2 variant landscape in Thailand, with Omicron becoming the dominant strain post-2022. Continuous genomic surveillance is critical for tracking viral evolution, informing public health strategies, and supporting pandemic control efforts in Thailand and Southeast Asia.

Published: January 2025

Background: Core stabilization exercises (CSE) are based on motor learning concepts focusing on sensorimotor function. It has been proposed that CSE can improve core stabilizer muscle function, leading to enhanced joint position sense. However, evidence to support the effects of CSE on joint position sense is still limited.

Objective: To compare the immediate effect of CSE on joint position sense of the lumbar spine using a smartphone application in healthy individuals.

Materials and methods: Fifty-six healthy individuals (9 males and 47 females) were recruited in the study. Two smartphones with the application were attached to the lumbar spine (L1) and sacrum (S2). They were asked to perform 45-degree lumbar flexion and return to neutral position, while lumbar joint position errors were recorded in each direction. They were then randomly assigned to CSE and control groups. After the intervention, they were asked to perform 45-degree lumbar flexion and return to a neutral position.

Results: The CSE group demonstrated significant improvement (p<0.05) in lumbar joint position sense during the 45-degree flexion, whereas the control group did not show improvement. Both groups did not show significant improvement during the return to a neutral position.

Conclusion: Findings suggested that one session of the CSE can improve lumbar joint position sense, which could be due to the increased activities of muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs. In addition, our findings support the clinical utility of this smartphone application in measuring lumbar joint position sense.

Published: January 2025

Goonch (Bagarius yarelli) is one of the local fish species affected by dynamic changes due to activities along Perjaya Dam. The first component in conducting the cultivation of local fish is domestication The main problem in domestication is the adaptation of wild fish to the controlled environment. Another aspect that needs to concern in domestication is the defense of domesticated species from several pathogens, especially parasites because most of wild fish captured from natural habitats are attacked by several parasites. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and intensity of ectoparasites attacked goonch captured from Perjaya Dam. The sampling method used was purposive sampling method and followed by laboratory examination. A total number of 90 goonch were collected using fishing rods and gillnets with an aid from local fishermen during this study.  Ectoparasites were examined on several external organs including skin or scales, fins, and gills. Ectoparasites found during the sample examination were recorded for further calculation of ectoparasites types, prevalence, and intensity. The measurement of water quality parameters was performed after sample collection. Water quality parameters measured consisted of temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, ammonia, and transparency. Goonch captured from Perjaya Dam were infested by Lernaea sp. and Gyrodactylus sp. through single infestation and with the same prevalence level (1.11%). Lernaea sp. showed a higher intensity (52 ind/fish) on goonch than that of Gyrodactylus sp. (1 ind/fish). Almost all water quality parameter in sampling site, including temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen, were in normal ranges to support the live of freshwater fish.Keywords:EctoparasitesGoonchGyrodactylus sp.Lernaea sp.Prevalence
Analysis the effect of handling facilities on the quality of fishes landed at fish auction market
Authors: Sari Ratih Purnama , Krisnafi Yaser , Amalia Ayu Rizky , Miswar Edy
Published: January 2025

Research related to the influence of facilities on the quality of fish landed and auctioned has been done previously, but the catches under this study are still limited to large pelagic fish with complex fish auction facilities. This study was conducted for small pelagic fish where the handling facilities at this location are still very limited. Therefore, survey research with purpose to analyze the effect of handling facilities (ships, fish auction sites, baskets) on the quality of small pelagic fish. The data taken is daily data with the method of observation at the location on the ship, fish auction place, and baskets. The species that taken were Eleutheronema tetradactylum, Ilisha elongate, Pampus argenteus, and Johnius trachychepalus. Each species consists of 5 individuals. Its tests was done by looking at the organoleptic and pH values. The tests were done to every species of fish. The pH value was obtained by testing the fish meat sample on the meat pH meter, while the organoleptic value was obtained by looking at the physical condition of the fish using a score sheet of fresh fish quality parameters. Then after the results are obtained, an analysis is carried out to determine the magnitude of facility influence on fish quality by simple linear regression analysis. The organoleptic values of four kinds of samples were on average 6.84 - 4.95, while the pH values measured in these fish ranged from 6.3 - 5.94. The effect of fish handling facilities on the organoleptic value is 82% compared to other factors. The fish quality as measured by the organoleptic test showed a fairly good quality, while measured by the pH test showed good results. Handling facilities do not greatly affect the quality of fish and there are other factors that can affect the decline in fish quality other than facilities. The relationship between fish handling facilities and quality can give an overview of the contribution of handling facilities to fish quality.Keywords:Fish auction marketFish qualityHandling facilities
Population and distribution pattern of Poropuntius tawarensis in Lake Laut Tawar, Central Aceh Regency
Authors: Rahman Mufti Aulia , Abdullah Abdullah , Safrida Safrida , Sarong Muhammad Ali , Haridhi Haekal Azief
Published: January 2025

Poropuntius tawarensis is an endemic fish of Laut Tawar that is currently classified as Endangered according to the IUCN Red List. The decline in its population is caused by habitat degradation, overfishing, and the introduction of alien species that act as predators This study aims to analyze the diversity and distribution patterns the population of kawan fish (Poropuntius tawarensis)  in Lake Laut Tawar, Central Aceh Regency. Fish samples were collected from four different locations and analyzed using the Shannon-Wiener and Morisita indices. The results indicate that the diversity level of kawan fish (Poropuntius tawarensis) is classified as a "Low level of diversity," with significant differences between sampling locations. All locations (Hakim Balai Bujang: 0.796845; Toweren: 0.301815; Kelitu: 0.753952; Kala Segi: 0.467728) show a low level of diversity, which is H' 1. Analysis using the Standardized Morisita Index indicates that the distribution pattern of kawan fish (Poropuntius tawarensis) in the four study locations tends to be clumped dispersion. This is evidenced by Morisita index values greater than 1 at all sites (Hakim Balai Bujang: 1.2834; Toweren: 1.0212; Kelitu: 1.0053; Kala Segi: 1.0134). These values suggest that the fish tend to concentrate in specific areas within each village rather than being evenly distributed.Keywords:Poropuntius tawarensisLaut Tawar LakeDiversityDistribution Patterns
Prediction of monocular defocus curves in pseudophakia with different pupil sizes
Authors: Del Águila-Carrasco Antonio J. , Alarcon Aixa , Weeber Henk , Tsai Linda , Vilupuru Srividhya , Canovas Carmen , Piers Patricia
Published: January 2025

Existing models for predicting clinical visual acuity (VA) following lens replacement surgery use controlled experimental conditions where pupil size is typically fixed. However, pupil size may influence visual performance depending on the design of the intraocular lens (IOL) implanted. This study compares optical bench testing metrics to clinical VA in pseudophakic patients with different pupil sizes and IOL models. The area under the modulation transfer function (MTFa) and the weighted optical transfer function (wOTF) were obtained at vergences ranging from -3 D to 0.5 D, and different pupil sizes: 2, 3, and 4.5 mm. The simulated VA values obtained for both metrics were well correlated with clinical data (R2 ≥ 0.85) and had low root mean square errors (RMSe) for the entire defocus range, suggesting their suitability for predicting VA defocus curves in pseudophakic eyes with varying pupil size.

Published: January 2025

The traditional prism coupling method is constrained by phase-matching conditions and has a strict relationship with the incident light beam mode, which makes polarization-independent light beam coupling impossible. In this paper, what we believe to be a novel prism coupling structure that utilizes an anisotropic liquid crystal cladding was introduced to address the polarization sensitivity issue. This research comprehensively examines the modulation characteristics of polarization-independent prism coupling, taking into account factors such as liquid crystal orientation and material parameters. Theoretical simulations show that the polarization-independent coupling efficiency can reach 91%. Furthermore, a liquid crystal-based prism coupler was successfully fabricated and tested in this study, achieving 80% polarization-independent coupling efficiency. This research offers a viable solution to the issue of polarization sensitivity in integrated optical devices.
Tunable perfect absorber in the short-wave infrared band based on ITO nonlinear metasurface with enhanced optical response
Authors: Bai Zeliang , Xu Yanhua , Zhao Lupeng , Chen Guodong , Huang Qiupeng , Miao Lili
Published: January 2025

A polarization-sensitive nonlinear metasurface of antenna-indium tin oxide (ITO) coupled structure has been meticulously designed to enhance the nonlinear response with strong coupling between the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of gold nanoantenna and the epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) mode of the ITO film. This metasurface exhibits a broadband spectrum (∼730 nm) and a large nonlinear index coefficient n2 of 1.41 cm2/GW, which is approximately 520 times greater than that of a single-layer ITO film. Additionally, we have engineered a perfect absorber using an ITO nonlinear metasurface, with a 38 nm absorption bandwidth ranging from 1085 nm to 1123 nm, achieving near-perfect absorption, with a maximum absorption rate of up to 94% in the short-wave infrared band. These findings offer a promising foundation for the development of ultra-compact and large nonlinear optical devices.
Quantum Complex Analysis and Reconstruction of Dephasing Time in Solid HHG
Authors: Zhao Xi , Liu Jiahao , Jiang Shicheng , Chen Jigen , Wang Jun , Zhang Song
Published: January 2025

The dephasing time \(T_2\) is an important parameter in quantum information, optics and condensed matter physics, particularly in the context of ultrafast carrier dynamics and quantum coherence when solids are subjected to intense laser irradiation. However, understanding the precise dephasing mechanisms and directly measuring \(T_2\) from experimental spectra remains elusive, hindering our understanding of the physics of condense state systems under extreme conditions. In this work, through the Quantum Complex Analysis model, where all physical quantities are treated as complex values, we clearly elucidate that the quantum tunneling process of carriers between different energy bands in solids makes a significant contribution to the dephasing time. The ability to accurately describe the \( T_2 \) term directly determines the laser-induced tunneling process of carriers and the interference patterns of long and short quantum orbital in High-order Harmonic Generation (HHG). Consequently, the dephasing rate is encoded in the HHG spectra, providing an opportunity to reconstruct \(T_2\) from experimental HHG spectra using machine learning techniques. Our work makes a novel contribution to the study and understanding of dephasing time in solid HHG by addressing both the direct reconstruction of \(T_2\) from experimental data and its underlying physical effects. In addition, Our reconstruction algorithm also provides a possible method for studying the quantum tunneling process of light-induced carrier transitions between different energy bands.
Return of history or ex-novo politics? A computational institutionalist perspective on the surge of Vox in Spain and Chega in Portugal
Authors: Benitez-Baleato Jesus M. , de Artaza Montero Manuel M. , Docío Susana Sotelo
Published: January 2025

Far-right movements are gaining political prominence across Europe. Do they represent a resurgence of early twentieth-century autocratic regimes, or are they a new phenomenon? The Iberian Peninsula offers a unique opportunity for analysis, with Spain and Portugal transitioning from dictatorships in the 1930s to democracies in the 1970s, and illiberal movements re-entering political institutions in the 2010s. To explore this evolution, this article employs an interdisciplinary approach, combining the analytical strength of history with the practical advantages of computational methods. The analysis reveals that Vox emerged as a reaction to a perceived breakdown of the transition agreements and is driven by a commitment to an exclusionary nationalism resembling that of the Francoist regime. This contrasts sharply with Chega’s lack of connection to Salazarism and its focus on contemporary politics. However, both parties share a common agenda with the global far-right movement on secular issues, particularly in restricting political rights for women and LGBTQI+ identities. The article highlights the importance of considering the historical development of the political system when examining emerging phenomena. It also uses a computational institutionalist approach that could assist other scholars in assessing current political trends.

La poética del viaje en las canciones tradicionales del pueblo kakataibo
Authors: Zariquiey Roberto
Published: January 2025

El presente artículo se propone contribuir al conocimiento sobre el arte verbal del pueblo kakataibo, el cual se manifiesta en una compleja red de formas cantadas de lenguaje que se usaron tradicionalmente por miembros de este pueblo en distintos espacios sociales e íntimos. Este sistema establecía una distinción bastante nítida entre géneros que podían ser cantados por hombres y géneros que podían ser cantados por mujeres. Nuestro estudio se centra en un motivo que se repite en varios de las canciones que forman parte de nuestro corpus musical del pueblo kakataibo: el viaje. Mostramos aquí las estrategias poéticas y discursivas empleadas por hombres y mujeres para hablar del viaje: el uso de colores y de metáforas, por ejemplo, pero también la construcción de un yo poético radicalmente diferente para cada caso. El hombre kakataibo canta de sus viajes, se muestra fuerte, valiente y siempre guerrero. Es él quien viaja. La mujer kakataibo, por otra parte, se muestra frágil. Llora recordando a quienes partieron. Ella no viaja, pero se quiebra al ver partir a sus familiares. Se trata de una dualidad que se complementa, un mismo viaje visto desde dos perspectivas distintas, cantadas desde dos yo poéticos distintos. El hombre indestructible y la mujer frágil son, en realidad, dos personajes idealizados que se van construyendo a través de los versos.
Voces de la tierra: Las memorias del árbol de ojé y las yanchamas bora de "Ivá Wajyamú", Victor Churay Roque
Authors: Yllia Miranda Maria Eugenia
Published: January 2025

Desde hace algunas décadas, la corteza interior del árbol de ojé, procesada y convertida en (yanchama), es utilizada como lienzo por los artistas bora, huitoto y murui de la cuenca del Ampiyacu, desde donde enuncian poéticas que relatan sus ontologías y formas de ser, habitar y representar el mundo. En este artículo indagaremos en la vida social, política y ritual del árbol de ojé, teniendo como referente la obra de Víctor Churay Roque Ivá Wajyamú (1972-20022), pintor bora de Pucaurquillo, Mariscal Castilla, Loreto, Perú, que fue pionero la difusión de la pintura sobre yanchama como género artístico en el contexto limeño. Churay no solo plasmó por primera vez la imagen del árbol de ojé, también plasmó una serie de narrativas que presenta a esta especie vegetal como una entidad con agencia y capacidad de mediar entre diversas esferas sociales y de lograr representación en el medio externo y globalizado.

Intraoperative complications in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus during total hip replacement
Authors: Kushnareva I. G. , Popkova T. V. , Makarov M. A.
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic disease of unknown etiology characterized by systemic immuno-inflammatory damage to vital organs. A serious complication of SLE is aseptic bone necrosis, which is characterized by severe pain syndrome, impaired joint function, decreased quality of life and disability. Despite the fact that hip replacement is a technically proven method of surgical treatment, patients with SLE are still at increased risk of complications at all stages of the perioperative period.

AIM: the aim of the work is to describe the effect of SLE on the development of intraoperative complications during hip replacement.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 133 patients diagnosed with SLE who underwent total hip replacement between 1998 and 2021. All surgical interventions were performed in the traumatology and orthopaedic department. The group of patients with SLE was dominated by women, the ratio of women to men was 7.3:1, respectively. The average age of patients at the time of surgery was 36.6±12.6 years.

RESULTS: Hip replacement in all patients (n=133) was performed as standard in the patient’s position on the healthy side from the anterolateral Harding access. In 75 cases (56.3%), additional fixation of the acetabulum component with screws was performed. In 10 cases, a cerclage was applied to the proximal femur due to a fracture that occurred during the development of the bone marrow canal. To clarify the factors influencing the development of an intraoperative fracture, patients with SLE were divided into 2 groups: the first group (n=10) — with an intraoperative fracture, the second (n=123) — without a fracture. The comparative characteristics of the first and second groups are carried out. Another complication at the stage of surgical treatment is an increased volume of blood loss, which required transfusion of erythrocyte suspension. There were 54 such patients (40.6%). In relation to patients with increased blood loss, we compared the clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients immediately before surgical treatment, with and without increased blood loss.

CONCLUSION: In the study, we analyzed the resulting intraoperative complications. We have not received confirmation of the effect of daily and cumulative doses of HA, as well as the degree of activity and course of SLE on the risk of intraoperative fracture. The probability of fracture was significantly higher in patients with initially reduced bone mineral density. With regard to the increased volume of blood loss in patients with SLE, a significant association was found with baseline anemia (reduced hemoglobin and hematocrit levels) in the preoperative period (p<0.001).

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in NF1 gene encoding neurofibromin protein. Mutations in this gene result in the absence of suppression of the Ras-MAPK pathway, which leads to increased cell proliferation and tumor development. In addition to the classic manifestations of neurofibromatosis (skin manifestations, tumors of the peripheral and cranial nerves, and scoliosis), patients may develop tumors of the endocrine glands: pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas and neuroendocrine tumors. Cases of NF-1 combined with acromegaly, adrenal tumors (including adrenocortical cancer), and primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) have been described. In addition, NF-1 is notable for the development of hypophosphatemic osteomalacia in rare cases.

The article presents a description of a clinical case of a combination of PHPT in a patient with NF-1, hypophosphatemia that persisted after successful surgical treatment of PHPT, and severe skeletal involvement with multiple vertebral and non-vertebral fractures, which was assessed as a combination of severe osteoporosis and hypophosphatemic osteomalacia. During treatment with denosumab, teriparatide and alfacalcidol, increase of bone mineral density and normalization of phosphate levels were achieved. Nevertheless, the absence of consolidation of the femoral shaft fracture persists. Few cases of a combination of NF-1 simultaneously with PHPT and hypophosphatemic osteomalacia are described in the literature.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of thrombus stiffness, measured by strain elastography, in independently predicting the success of endovascular treatment for thrombosed hemodialysis fistulas.Methods: The study employed a retrospective observational design. Forty-nine patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis and experiencing fistula dysfunction were included. Various factors were evaluated, including patient age, sex, comorbidities, arteriovenous fistula (AVF) type, use of antiplatelet agents, duration of thrombosed AVF dysfunction, thrombus length, thrombus stiffness, and thrombus strain ratio (SR). Thrombus stiffness was measured using strain ultrasound elastography.Results: The presence of comorbidities (P=0.018), duration of AVF dysfunction due to thrombosis (P=0.005), thrombus stiffness (P<0.001), and thrombus SR (P<0.001) were statistically significant predictors of treatment success, while other factors were not. Thrombus stiffness and SR, assessed by two independent radiologists with excellent inter-reader agreement, demonstrated high reliability. The optimal SR cut-off for treatment success was 1.4 (sensitivity, 0.947; specificity, 0.901; area under the curve, 0.935). Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that both thrombus SR and thrombus stiffness significantly influenced treatment outcomes (P=0.003 and P=0.007, respectively). A 0.1-unit increase in thrombus SR was associated with 9.37% reduction in the likelihood of treatment success, while a smilar increase in thrombus stiffness exhibited an 8.06% reduction, underscoring their importance as prognostic factors in clinical setting.Conclusion: This study demonstrates the utility of strain ultrasound elastography in assessing thrombus stiffness in thrombosed hemodialysis AVFs and its correlation with treatment success.
