COVID-19 pandemic and the use of tele-health by pediatricians and pediatric post graduate residents
Authors: Tehreem Fatima  , Zaib Nasir  , AbdulAhad Jamshaid  , Hina Ayesha
Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: During the COVID-19 pandemic, burden on healthcare facilities has increased worldwide; which has led to acceptance of the ‘telehealth services’ by the pediatricians. Objective of this study was to determine the impact on frequency of use of tele-health services by pediatricians during the COVID-19 pandemic; and to determine the factors promoting and preventing the use of tele-health services by pediatricians.

METHODOLOGY: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out from August 2020 to January 2021 among the pediatricians of Children Hospital Faisalabad and other affiliated hospitals of Faisalabad Medical University, Pakistan. An e-questionnaire was circulated among 357 pediatricians, which was filled and submitted by 114 pediatricians online. Demographic details and other data were collected and analyzed by SPSS v.20. P-value <0.05 was taken as significant.

RESULTS: Out of 114 participants, 29(25.4%) paediatricians were already using Telehealth before the COVID-19 pandemic. Whereas, 101(88.6%) participants used Telehealth during the pandemic. There was an increase in frequency of telehealth use during the pandemic by 72(63.2%) paediatricians (p-value= 0.037). Most common factor promoting the use of telehealth during pandemic was ‘decreased chance of cross infection and maintenance of social distancing’. Most frequent factor preventing its use was ‘lack of confidence on virtual examination findings’.

CONCLUSION: Telehealth provided an effective means of practicing social distancing by the paediatricians without any breach in healthcare provision. However, there are a few factors contributing to hesitancy towards it. Therefore, more platforms must be provided and incentives to be given to paediatricians to promote the use of telehealth.

Authors: Hina Jawaid  , Marriam Sheraz  , Khudija Amna Arif  , Zia Ul Hassan  , Akhter Hina
Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Colostrum and breast milk are not only highly nutritious but also a source of maternal antibodies for infants. We explore maternal awareness and barriers in use of colostrum and breast milk.

METHODOLOGY: This cross-sectional study included mothers of children aged 3 years or less who visited primary care centers in urban and peri-urban areas of Lahore, Pakistan, between December 2020 to March 2021.

RESULTS: A total of 384 mothers were included in the study, mean age was 28 years. 47% (n=179) had primary or secondary school education. Higher maternal education (p=0.05) and age were associated with better knowledge about the benefits of colostrum. Reasons for not giving colostrum among mothers without formal education (42%) were “it’s not clean milk”, while 38% of mothers with higher education give a reason they could not feed because find it difficult due to C-section. Use of supplemental feed was noted across all educational levels, 60% mothers with no educational background preferred bovine milk, whereas 79% of highly qualified ones preferred formula milk (p=0.00). The use of formula milk was more frequently observed in families with 100,000 PKR per month and above (p=0.00). 80% of mothers were unaware that bovine milk in infants can lead to anemia.

CONCLUSION: There is inadequate knowledge, among mothers of all educational levels with reference to colostrum use and the relationship between consumption of bovine milk by infants and iron deficiency. Measures to improving maternal nutritional awareness and optimize infant feeding practices during antenatal visits are needed.
El bien jur´ídicamente tutelado en el trans`porte aéreo. / The legally tutored property in air transportation.
Authors: Mena Ramírez Miguel H.
Published: February 2022

El crecimiento del transporte aéreo internacional ha determinado que las cuestiones relacionadas con el retraso sean las que más a menudo afectan a los usuarios del servicio. La legislación de los Estados debe ser consistente y coherente con los Tratados Internacionales respecto de la responsabilidad de las aerolíneas establecida por el Convenio de Montreal de 1999. La escasa regulación de protección al consumidor en el transporte aéreo internacional de pasajeros en Latinoamérica es dispar entre los países y ajenas a las normas de carácter internacional que regulan los derechos de protección al consumidor. No debe haber discusión alguna entre la seguridad y la protección de los derechos de los pasajeros para exonerar a las aerolíneas de responsabilidad por retrasos o cancelaciones causados por circunstancias de seguridad. Ello en razón que el bien jurídicamente protegido es la seguridad de vuelo. Los progresos que se logren deben en materia de protección al consumidor no deben afectar indebidamente a las aerolíneas, de cuya prosperidad también depende la prestación de un servicio adecuado para el consumidor. Existen un sinnúmero de circunstancias y procesos que escapan al control de las aerolíneas, no pareciendo razonable que, en estos casos, deban responder civilmente. Adoptar una posición contraria solamente contribuye a generar costos adicionales y a incrementar el costo del servicio, dificultado su acceso para aquellos usuarios quienes presenten mayor sensibilidad a la elasticidad de la demanda.

ABSTRACT

The growth of international air transport has determined that delay issues are the ones that most often affect service users. The legislation of the States must be consistent and coherent with the International Treaties regarding the responsibility of airlines established by the Montreal Convention of 1999. The scant regulation of consumer protection in international passenger air transport in Latin America is uneven among the countries. countries and outside the international standards that regulate consumer protection rights. There should be no discussion between safety and the protection of passenger rights to exonerate airlines from liability for delays or cancellations caused by safety circumstances. This is because the legally protected asset is flight safety. Progress in consumer protection must not unduly affect airlines, on whose prosperity the provision of adequate consumer service also depends. There are countless circumstances and processes that are beyond the control of the airlines, and it does not seem reasonable that, in these cases, they should respond civilly. Adopting a contrary position only contributes to generating additional costs and increasing the cost of the service, making access difficult for those users who are more sensitive to the elasticity of demand.
A Comprehensive Consistency Check between Synchrotron Radiation and the Observed Gamma-Ray Burst Spectra

Published: February 2022

We performed a time-resolved spectral analysis of 53 bright gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed by Fermi/GBM. Our sample consists of 1117 individual spectra extracted from the finest time slices in each GRB. We fitted them with the synchrotron radiation model by considering the electron distributions in five different cases: monoenergetic, single power law, Maxwellian, traditional fast cooling, and broken power law. Our results were further qualified through the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) by comparing with the fit by empirical models, namely, the so-called Band function and cutoff power-law models. Our study showed that the synchrotron models, except for the fast-cooling case, can successfully fit most observed spectra, with the single power-law case being the most preferred. We also found that the electron distribution indices for the single power-law synchrotron fit in more than half of our spectra exhibit flux-tracking behavior, i.e., the index increases/decreases with the flux increasing/decreasing, implying that the distribution of the radiating electrons is increasingly narrower with time before the flux peaks and becomes more spreading afterward. Our results indicate that the synchrotron radiation is still feasible as a radiation mechanism of the GRB prompt emission phase.
RU-net: A Residual U-net for Automatic Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection Detection

Published: February 2022

Detection methods for interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) from in situ spacecraft measurements are mostly manual, which are labor-intensive and time-consuming, being prone to the inconsistencies of identification criteria and the incompleteness of the existing catalogs. Therefore, the automatic detection of ICMEs has aroused the interest of the astrophysical community. Of these automatic methods, the convolutional neural network–based methods show the advantages of fast speed and high precision. To further improve the computing feasibility and detection performance, this paper proposes a method called residual U-net (RU-net), from the perspective of time-series segmentation. With the help of U-net architecture, we design an encoder–decoder network with skip connection to capture multiscale information, where the end-to-end architecture with an embedded residual element is formulated to accelerate the algorithmic convergence. For the in situ data from 1997 October 1 to 2016 January 1 collected by the Wind spacecraft, the results of our experiments demonstrate the competitive performance of the proposed RU-net in terms of accuracy and efficiency (178 of 230 ICMEs are detected in the test set, and the F1 score is 80.18%).

Authors: Choo Le Min , Loo Adrian Hock Beng , Ang Wee Foong , Er Kenneth Boon Hwee
Published: February 2022

Sindora × changiensis L.M.Choo, Loo, W.F.Ang & K.Er is a new hybrid from the subfamily Detarioideae in Fabaceae. This is the first reported instance of natural hybridisation in Sindora. Based on population genetics analyses using ddRAD and morphological observations, this taxon represents a fertile hybrid between Sindora coriacea and Sindora echinocalyx. This new hybrid is so far only known to occur naturally from Changi at the north-eastern coast of Singapore. It has pods that are sparsely spiny. This is intermediate between the smooth, non-spiny pods of S. coriacea, and the densely spiny pods of S. echinocalyx. The calyx is smooth and unarmed, resembling S. coriacea. Last but not least, the ovary is entirely pubescent, different from S. coriacea and S. echinocalyx. The ovary of S. coriacea has a glabrous patch in the middle, while that of S. echinocalyx has minute spines protruding from the dense pubescence. A taxonomic description and an updated key to the Sindora of Singapore and Peninsular Malaysia are also provided.
Comparative mitogenomic analysis of two earwigs (Insecta, Dermaptera) and the preliminary phylogenetic implications
Authors: Chen Zhi-Teng
Published: February 2022

The phylogenetic position and inner relationships of Dermaptera remain unresolved despite the numerous efforts using morphological and molecular data. To facilitate the resolution of problems, this study sequenced the complete mitogenome of Apachyus feae de Bormans, 1894 (Apachyidae) and the nearly complete mitogenome of Diplatys flavicollis Shiraki, 1907 (Diplatyidae). The 19,029-bp long mitogenome of A. feae exhibited an extra trnV gene and two control regions in addition to the typical set of 37 genes including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The 12,950-bp long partially sequenced mitogenome of D. flavicollis was composed of 10 and a partial fragment of PCGs, 18 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and a control region. Comparative analysis of available earwig mitogenomes revealed variable mitogenomic structure and extensive gene rearrangements in Dermaptera. The preliminary phylogenetic analyses using Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood methods showed identical results, but the limited sampling and different types of molecular data lead to an apparent incongruence with previous phylogenetic studies.

Aluminium’s Advocate. The historical evolution of a European trade association 1981-2021
Authors: Bertilorenzi Marco
Published: February 2022

Cet article retrace l’histoire d’European Aluminium et de ses précurseurs. Il met en lumière les facteurs externes et internes qui ont remodelé cette association et ont contribué au développement des stratégies, des structures et des fonctions de cette association d’entreprises européennes. Créée en 1981, l’Association européenne de l’aluminium (European Aluminium Association : EAA), rebaptisée European Aluminium en 2015, a progressivement évolué pour devenir la voix unique de l’industrie de l’aluminium en Europe, en fusionnant avec d’autres associations, en élargissant ses rôles et en intégrant des fonctions qui, par le passé, avaient été développées par la coopération d’entreprises au niveau mondial. D’une position purement défensive, de nouvelles visions et approches ont émergé et ont transformé European Aluminium en une sorte de « défenseur de l’aluminium » en Europe.
Publicisation d’un double pouvoir en temps de Fronde : une lecture de la corruption à partir de Gabriel Naudé
Authors: Gabriel Frédéric
Published: February 2022

Alors que la monarchie est en situation de banqueroute, les habiles malversations financières de Mazarin et son enrichissement personnel sont l’un des déclencheurs de la Fronde. Un Jugement publié anonymement par Gabriel Naudé, le bibliothécaire du cardinal, prend sa défense en 1649-1650. Suite à l’examen des ressorts de la publicisation et de la disjonction sociale mis en scène dans ce texte, on propose une conception de la corruption, propre au monde politique. Loin d’être seconde par rapport à un état « sain », la corruption constitue un mécanisme du pouvoir, un véritable système au cœur de l’État qui permet au détenteur du pouvoir d’en obtenir encore plus. En fin de compte, dans ce contexte, la corruption révèle l’essence du pouvoir.
L’union sacrée ? Rousseau, Dupin, Voltaire, et quelques autres contre L’Esprit des lois
Authors: Volpilhac-Auger Catherine
Published: February 2022

L’Esprit des lois a été combattu par un véritable front d’auteurs disparates que l’on considère généralement comme des alliés de Montesquieu, ou des adversaires peu actifs. Au centre, le fermier général Dupin qui élabore dix ans durant une critique virulente qu’il n’arrive pas à diffuser, malgré le soutien de la Cour ; Rousseau a joué auprès de lui un rôle très mineur certes, mais méconnu ; plusieurs jésuites l’ont aidé, sans jamais apparaître au grand jour. Son plus tenace soutien a été Voltaire, qui a enrichi ses propres publications de son travail, jusqu’à renier (sans le dire) certaines des positions qui fondent sa démarche philosophique. Le paysage intellectuel des années 1750-1770 apparaît ainsi dans toute sa complexité, autour du salon de M me  Dupin, sans que jamais ces critiques n’aient remis en cause le cœur de L’Esprit des lois .
La volonté générale comme moyen d’identification de l’intérêt général dans l’œuvre de Condorcet
Authors: Aguilon Claire
Published: February 2022

L’œuvre de Condorcet amène à s’interroger sur la façon dont le référendum et la représentation nationale permettent l’identification de l’intérêt général. L’analyse probabiliste de Condorcet montre que l’augmentation du nombre de votants ne permet de se rapprocher de l’intérêt général que si chaque personne possède moins d’une chance sur deux de se tromper. Dès lors, la question se pose, dans notre système électoral où le vote blanc demeure sans effet, des effets du vote de citoyens incertains. Aussi, Condorcet considère que la prise de décision par une assemblée élargie devrait être privilégiée lorsque l’égalité politique, l’indépendance du scrutin et l’instruction publique sont assurées. Des assemblées réduites se prononcent lorsqu’une décision doit être prise sans que ces conditions ne soient réunies (ces assemblées réduites ne peuvent concourir à l’expression de l’intérêt général que si l’indépendance des pouvoirs, l’égalité des classes, la liberté de la presse et celle du commerce sont garanties). Condorcet considère en particulier qu’une pluralité plus importante devrait être exigée lorsque la décision adoptée risque de limiter une liberté publique. Dans cette perspective, un encadrement par le droit de l’usage du référendum pourrait être imaginé.

Published: February 2022

The scrambling of MOSFET below 22nm, 14nm, unwanted Short Channel Effects (SCE) like punch through, drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL), along with huge leakage current are flowing through the device, which is not recognized for better performance. Multi-gate MOSFET generally measured as Fin-FET is the best substitute vital to stunned short channel effects. The work highlights results of the current-voltage electrical characteristics of the n-channel triple gate Fin-FET gatherings. The paper focuses on the study of geometry-based device design of Fin-FET by changing high k dielectrics materials from silicon SiO2 (3.9), Hafnium Oxide (HfO2), and metal gate work function ranging from 4.1eV to 4.5eV. The approach and simulation of 3Dimensional Fin-FET is carried to evaluate the better performance parameters of device for change in gate length by deploying different dielectrics materials. The effect on ratio of on current (ION) and off current (IOFF), threshold voltage (VTH), subthreshold slope (SS), and drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) is observed.

Published: February 2022

This paper explores the impacts of the evolution of the dietary structure of the population on national food security using the food self-sufficiency rate under various statistical dimensions and simulate various food security scenarios for China in the medium- and long-term future. This study indicates that China’s rapid economic and social development and the continuous improvement in people’s living standards appears to be declining in the food self-sufficiency rate. The analysis regarding the factors influencing the food self-sufficiency rate revealed that the improved dietary structure, involving an increase in animal-based food product consumption, has led to a decrease in China’s food self-sufficiency rate. It concludes that the dietary structure is likely to continue to move toward increased consumption of animal-based food products in China for the future. The research results will assist decision-makers in formulating scientific food self-sufficiency rate targets and food security strategies

Published: February 2022

The use of leaflet ribs from oil palm trees - Oil Palm Broom Fibres (OPBF) in reinforcingcement composites have shown some prospects according to recent studies. However, only little isunderstood regarding their bond interaction with cement matrices. Samples were prepared toinvestigate the pull-out response of OPBF in both single and combined form from concrete. For thecombined fibres, single OPBF strands were wound around one another longitudinally (in helical form)to form tendons. A comparison was made between the maximum bond strengths of untreated andtreated OPBF in concrete. The OPBF were pre-treated by soaking in sodium hydroxide andtriethylvinylsilane solutions to improve their bond strength with concrete. The reported treatmentscould improve the potential of OPBF tendons as reinforcement in lightly loaded concrete beamsultimately resulting in an environmentally friendly and affordable construction.
Synthesis of Titanium-Based Composites by Pulsed Methods
Authors: Kaygorodov Anton Sergeevich , Zayats Sergey Vladimirovich
Published: February 2022

Ti-based composites with advanced properties were fabricated by the explosion of the wires and magnetic-pulsed compaction methods. After the wire explosion the “metal core – oxide (or nitride) shell” structure is formed. Magnetic-pulsed treatment of such poorly conductive powder leads to the destruction of the shells and to the appearance of an electrical conductivity. This conductivity is only 4-7 times higher than that of pure titanium. As a result of the dynamic compaction of 100-150 nm powder the hot-pressed Ti+9TiO2 composition appeared to have the best combination of mechanical properties: relative density – 95 %, microhardness - 4.2 GPa, reduced modulus of elasticity – 143 GPa, creep under constant load – 105 nm. The coefficients of thermal extension of three materials with different titanium oxide content: 6, 9 and 15 wt. % were measured. The nitride-containing composites were ~30% more porous and had low mechanical properties compared to Ti+TiO2 compacts.

Published: February 2022

Co-Pоly (Urethane-Imide) s (CPUI) based on pоly (diethyleneglycol) adipate diol, tolylenediisocyanate, multinucleate dianhydrides and diamines were synthesized. The films and moldings from CPUI were processed and their mechanical characteristics were evaluated. Distinctions of specifications of the films formed from polymer solutions and the moldings formed from melt polymers are indicated when using the same starting CPUI. It appears that films and moldings possess typical properties of elastomers. The reprocessing of studied copolymers by using the injection molding method allows to assign CPUI to the thermoplastic elastomers or so-called thermoelastoplasts.

Objectives: To explore the effectiveness of training healthcare workers in improving visual estimation of blood loss at delivery with evidence from a low resource setting. Methods: A training programme customized with local instruments used at childbirth was conducted at De Zoysa Hospital for Women in year 2019 for all categories of healthcare workers involved with obstetric care. Capacity of healthcare workers to accurately estimate blood loss was assessed before and after the training programme using simulated case scenarios with known volumes of blood. Statistical significance of the difference in pre- and posttraining scores were evaluated using related samples Wilcoxon Signed Ranked Test and the association between scores and category of healthcare workers, place of work, and duration of work experience were evaluated using independent samples median test and Spearman correlation. Results: This programme included voluntary participation of 81 healthcare workers. Median (IQR) of pre-training and post-training scores were 0.00 (0.00-20.00) and 40.00 (40.00-80.00), respectively. The post-training improvement was statistically significant across all healthcare workers categories irrespective of place of work and their work experience. Conclusions: Short term improvement in accuracy of visual estimation of blood loss by healthcare workers involved in obstetric care can be achieved by customized training irrespective of their place of work and work experience. Further research is needed to assess long term effects of training and the impact on patient outcomes in real clinical settings.

Authors: Silva D. , Samarakkodi S. , Rajakaruna M. , Adeesha S. , Edirisinghe R.
Published: February 2022

Overview: Burch colposuspension is introduced in 1961 and since then it has been the gold standard treatment modality for genuine urinary stress incontinence. Methods: In this prospective cross-sectional study we have analyzed data from 36 women aged 42 to 63 years who had undergone laparoscopic Burch colposuspension at Colombo South Teaching Hospital Sri Lanka during the period from 2012 to 2021. Patients completed a self-administered Short Urinary Distress Inventory (SUDI) and Short Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (SIIQ) at both the baseline and the post-operative follow up (6 months, 12 months) period. The Genito-Urinary Treatment Satisfaction Scale (GUTSS) was utilized to assess satisfaction with the outcomes of the laparoscopic repair surgery. Results: Six months following the surgery, Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) was 9.38% with p=0.38, SUI and/or urge incontinence was 18.75% with p=0.56, which were statistically not significant. In both analyses of SUDI and SIIQ there were significant improvements in outcomes. Satisfaction with treatment outcomes from the GUTSS at six months follow up was 32.5 ± 5.8 with p=0.48. At 12 months following surgery, 15.6% of patients had GSI while 9.38% had stress incontinence frequently (p=0.26). Conclusion: Laparoscopic Burch colposuspension is an effective technique and treatment modality for urinary stress incontinence. Both objective and subjective evaluation of surgical outcomes at 6 and 12 months of follow-up demonstrated significant improvement and repetitive corrective surgeries are uncommon.

Prevalence of Diabetic Retinopathy in Undiagnosed Diabetic Patients: A Nationwide Population-Based Study
Authors: Jang Han Na , Moon Min Kyong , Koo Bo Kyung
Published: February 2022

Background: We investigated the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients with undiagnosed diabetes through a nationwide survey, compared to those with known diabetes.Methods: Among the participants of the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (KNHANES) from 2017 to 2018, individuals aged ≥40 years with diabetes and fundus exam results were enrolled. Sampling weights were applied to represent the entire Korean population. Newly detected diabetes patients through KNHANES were classified under “undiagnosed diabetes.”Results: Among a total of 9,108 participants aged ≥40 years, 951 were selected for analysis. Of them, 31.3% (standard error, ±2.0%) were classified under “undiagnosed diabetes.” The prevalence of DR in patients with known and undiagnosed diabetes was 24.5%±2.0% and 10.7%±2.2%, respectively (P<0.001). The DR prevalence increased with rising glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in patients with known and undiagnosed diabetes (P for trend=0.001 in both). Among those with undiagnosed diabetes, the prevalence of DR was 6.9%±2.1%, 8.0%±3.4%, 5.6%±5.7%, 16.7%±9.4%, and 42.6%±14.8% for HbA1c levels of <7.0%, 7.0%–7.9%, 8.0%–8.9%, 9.0%–9.9%, and ≥10.0% respectively. There was no difference in the prevalence of hypertension, dyslipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia, or obesity according to the presence or absence of DR.Conclusion: About one-third of patients with diabetes were unaware of their diabetes, and 10% of them have already developed DR. Considering increasing the prevalence of DR according to HbA1c level was found in patients with undiagnosed diabetes like those with known diabetes, screening and early detection of diabetes and DR are important.

Pesquisa bibliográfica, baseada na revisão de estudos de considerados relevantes e publicados na última década, relacionados à temática. É nas brincadeiras que se pode explorar a criatividade e a curiosidade da criança que vai influenciar na relação afetiva e social dela. No entanto, a falta de espaços e materiais adequados foi identificada como um problema constante na educação brasileira, em todas as suas etapas, ao passo que os jogos culturais e brincadeiras se sobressaíram como uma alternativa viável para o alcance dos objetivos lúdicos e sociais esperados.

Teoría socio-jurídica del estado constitucional y sindicalismo de integración: la concepción de Adolfo Posada
Authors: Monereo Pérez José Luis
Published: February 2022

El republicanismo social reformista e intervencionista de Adolfo Posada es sin duda un liberalismo social democrático, incluso cuando defendió la democracia constitucional en el cuadro de una reforma de las instituciones políticas liberales. Adolfo Posada defiende una singular “democracia orgánica” liberal y pluralista, basada en el respecto de los derechos políticos, civiles, económicos, sociales y culturales de una ciudadanía plena. Adolfo Posada defiende un republicanismo de los derechos y libertades fundamentales en el marco de una democracia constitucional basada en el pluralismo político y social; y contando, por tanto, con la participación activa de los ciudadanos y de los grupos y organizaciones sociales de intereses comunes solidarios donde aquéllos desarrollan su personalidad integral y que hacen posible (condición de posibilidad) su autorrealización plena como ciudadanos en la comunidad de pertenencia (democracia pluralista, funcional y social). En la democracia constitucional tienen un papel central las organizaciones profesionales y en particular el sindicato como sujeto sociopolítico.

Authors: Moll Noguera Rafael
Published: February 2022

La regulación del derecho a la negociación colectiva en la función pública constituye la mejor referencia para comparar el régimen jurídico de los trabajadores al servicio de la Administración pública entre Portugal y España. A través de una cartografía jurídica detallada, se pretende descubrir cuáles son los patrones comunes y las divergencias presentes a fin de ofrecer una visión panorámica que permitan, en su caso, enriquecer el debate de una eventual reforma legislativa. Se pondrá de manifiesto mediante el análisis de cada una de las dimensiones que configuran la negociación colectiva, que el modelo español resulta más flexible y ágil que el portugués.

Impersonal Intimacies
Authors: Barclay Kari
Published: February 2022

In this article, Dr. Kari Barclay evaluates the concept of desexualized language prevalent in different spheres of intimacy work. "Desexualized language" describes the technique in intimacy choreography of using technical language to name choreography and sex acts. Instead of describing a scene's action as a "blow job" or urging one performer to "grope" another's chest, intimacy choreographers might describe performed action as "oral stimulation" or urge performers to "close distance between their hand and a scene partner's chest before applying muscle-level touch" (Pace, 2020, 39-71). Much of the writing and discourse of desexualized language comes from Chelsea Pace and Laura Rikard of Theatrical Intimacy Education (Pace, 2020, 10), but advocacy for desexualized language is found throughout the intimacy field, including in the work of Intimacy Directors and Coordinators (formerly Intimacy Directors International) (Kaufman, Sina, and Warden, 2019; Kaufman, Noble, and White, 2020). What exactly is desexualized language trying to do, and what might be some of its potential unintended effects?

In lieu of an abstract, here is an excerpt: 

Things are changing. Consent and factors that complicate consent are finally being recognized as central, foundational considerations in production processes and in performing arts education. People are beginning to think critically about how they approach intimacies in the rehearsal room, in the classroom, on set, in theory, in practice, and in pedagogy. As theatres and producing organizations hire more and more intimacy professionals, we need to meet the educational, resource, partnership, and access needs of this growing, learning community.

And no one organization, school of thought, or individual has all of the answers. 

We need this community’s knowledge, big ideas, and resources to be accessible in order for the field of consent-based performance to grow.

We need to work together to learn from--and to teach--one another to pause, interrogate what we’re doing, and then create more equitable and competent consent-based practices. As a collective, we need to recognize the value of the work that has come before us and the work our peers are doing now, and consciously recommit ourselves to growing, learning, and doing better now and in the future.
The Evolution of Consent-Based Performance
Authors: Villarreal Amanda Rose
Published: February 2022

In lieu of an abstract, here is an excerpt: 

...it is important to recognize the evolution of this field and the ways in which documentation around this field has itself created certain power imbalances. [...] Many of those whose work has gone unnamed are artists of color, women, disabled individuals, trans and nonbinary individuals whose own experiences of disempowerment in society and in the performance industry forced them to forge practices to protect themselves. These people are the pioneers of consent-based practice. As an intimacy specialist, I recognize that I may never know the names of many who forged the early path for this field, and I may never know the origin of the foundation upon which my practice continues to build. As a scholar, I want to ensure that our evolution moving forward is documented, and I want to understand whose work I should be crediting as I continue forming my own artistic consent-based praxis as an intimacy choreographer, as an educator, and as a theatre maker. I invite other artists and scholars to add to this literature review, and to document the as-of-yet unpublished history of consent-based practices used in performance, and those who created them.
